Students help clean up the Brunswick Last Friday 75 students from Shearwater Steiner School collected rubbish and marine debris from the Brunswick River to mark the start of International Cleanup the World Weekend 2009. For the second year running, local students enjoyed perfect weather and an outgoing tide as a flotilla of 48 kayaks and two support boats took to the water at Heritage Park in Mullumbimby to paddle the 12km to Brunswick Heads, collecting rubbish along the way. Coordinator Chris Astill said, ‘Over six million tonnes of debris enter our world’s oceans every year. The support of Project AWARE for events like this around the world gives people a chance to see in action the positive impact of thinking globally, and acting locally.’ Cape Byron Kayaks, Mojo Surf Byron Bay and the First Brunswick Heads Scouts generously donated kayaks and canoes, plus kayaking instructors on the day. Additional kayaks and canoes were kindly offered by local community members. After sorting and counting the collected rubbish, a total of over 450 litres of marine debris was removed from the Brunswick River including chairs, corrugated iron, car wheels and tyres, degraded fishing line and traps, a bicycle, food packaging and more than 100 plastic bottles. These statistics will be entered into an

and well-earned appetites were met by a healthy BBQ lunch donated by Mullumbimby businesses Santos, Dennett’s IGA and Devine Quality Meats. Chris added, ‘A huge thanks goes

out to everyone involved in making this event happen. The success of activities like this is another great example of local community caring for our amazing environment, and making a difference.’

Silent vigil at Woolies visit A gathering of lawyers, the Land and Environment Court judge, representatives from Woolworths and Byron Shire Council will be meeting on the proposed Woolies Station Street site at Mullumbimby at 9.30am on Monday September 28. The Mullumbimby Community Action Network and interested residents will be meeting at 9am on the same day in Apex Park, by the railway station. The plan is for a silent vigil at the court visit. ‘Council refused [Woolworths’] onsite sewage application on July 2 because Woolworths had failed to demonstrate that appropriate arrangements can be made for managing their onsite sewage,’ said MCAN in a press release. ‘Main concerns include the possible spread of disease by micro-organisms, foul odours, contamination of water, degradation of soil and vegetation as well as a need to discourage insects and vermin. ‘Furthermore Woolworths must ensure that no-one, in their ordinary activities, comes into contact with untreated sewage or effluent (whether treated or not). This last scenario is quite likely since the buffer zone between the effluent areas and the footpaths, carpark, driveways and boundaries ranges from zero to 0.5 metres instead of the required 3-6 metres. ‘Since the supermarket is too big continued on page 2

Govt calls for ‘reason’ in Council’s approach to coastal management The state government has called on Byron Shire Council to adopt a ‘reasonable’ approach to coastline management. ‘It is important that coastal zone management plans are seen by all of the community as being reasonable and achieve an appropriate balance between the public interest and the interests of beachfront landowners,’ wrote Simon Smith, deputy director general of Climate Change, Policy and Programs, to Council’s general manager Graeme Faulkner in a letter of September 15.

‘Plans should acknowledge the concerns of beachfront residents and provide information on the allowable uses of beachfront land and the steps they can take to reduce risks and protect assets. Any planned retreat strategy should aim to allow landowners to continue to use their property while ever it is safe to do so. ‘These plans should also consider and set out potential arrangements that would permit appropriate landowner-funded coastal protection works which avoid off-site impacts, such as “soft� engineering works.

‘Plans should also take a reasonable approach to managing any ad hoc seawalls placed by or on behalf of landowners which have been in place for many years. A reasonable approach may involve permitting those seawalls to remain in place after any safety issues are addressed, with benefiting landowners contributing to maintenance costs.’ Mr Smith also recognised that ‘coastal erosion is a challenging issue for all coastal communities’ and appreciated Council’s efforts in preparing its draft plan ‘over many years and

Health service to overhaul budget Michael McDonald

The North Coast Area Health Service (NCAHS) is working towards overhauling its budget which sees it $7 million in debt to local medical suppliers. Health service CEO Chris Crawford saw the problem as

being with the health unions not allowing him to get on with a ‘restructure’ to balance the budget. According to union organiser Bob Hull, ‘The reality is the area health service can’t pay their bills because the area health service couldn’t manage their budget.’

We’re open seven days a week from 8:00am. Breakfast is now available all day on weekends & until 1:00pm weekdays. Lunch is served from noon til 3:00pm. Our Chefs are busy putting together a tasty & affordable menu for Spring & Summer. We have a vast selection of soulful music that we play non-stop all day, everyday.

Clearing backlog

Simple Pleasures Calendar to rookie vollie, Cr Simon Richardson.

And when does NCAHS expect to clear up its backlog of outstanding bills? ‘Once NCAHS gets its budget into balance, it will then progressively reduce its unpaid bills, which have been waiting over 45 days for payment.’ In terms of keeping control of its budget, the NSW Auditor-General has called on NCAHS to look at inappropriate transfers from special purpose and trust funds without records being kept and managers being notified. The Echo asked if NCAHS was undertaking a review of those funds and if so, have any anomalies been found in the handling of funds. ‘NCAHS is undertaking this review,’ the spokesperson said. ‘It has found that the Purposes of some Special Purposes and Trust Funds are vague and unclear. Therefore, as part of the review process, it will ensure that these Special Purpose and Trust Funds Purposes are made clear.’

Councillor caught working!

How did NCAHS end up with more staff than budgeted for? According to an NCAHS spokesperson, ‘There were three main factors that caused NCAHS to end up with more staff than budgeted for.’ ‘[A] significant increase in patient demand and strict waiting time targets that required more Clinical staff to be appointed to meet this challenge. While the new Clinical positions need to be retained to respond to this higher patient demand, non-clinical staff positions are being reduced to offset the appointment of these extra clinical staff. ‘One-off funding sources available in previous years are not available this year (eg Department of Veteran Affairs patient revenue is reducing as the number of Veteran patients declines). Controls on staff recruitment were not as tight in previous years as they should have been.’ Visitors Information Centre manager Shannon Dowsling shows the ropes and the new 2010

It’s not every day one of your local councillors serves you a bottle of water, some tasty macadamias and a great magazine to read over the counter of your local visitors centre, but that is just what happened last Thursday when Byron Shire councillor Simon Richardson did a volunteer shift in Brunswick Heads. The Brunswick Heads Visitor Information Centre provides up-to-date visitor’s information at their shop on Park Street. The centre is staffed by many volunteers who give their time to support this community resource. As a response

to Small Business Week, Cr Richardson decided to do a vollie stretch at the Visitor Information Centre. ‘I grew up in a family that worked in small business,’ said Simon. ‘I’ve worked in clothes shops, video and book stores and pubs and clubs, so I’ve got a fair insight into the challenges and opportunities of small businesses. ‘With an increasing separation between people due to work constraints and more entertainment and work from home, small businesses are often where we interact with our community. ‘The shopkeepers know us, we can catch up and share our

lives with people who care and offer us services and products with a smile. The recent Woolies saga shows that people want to shop and utilise services from people they trust and they know. ‘I thought working at the VIC would give a greater insight into tourist needs and would also inform me further as to the important work being done at the centre. I had an excellent shift. I had a chance to meet some tourists while getting to know Shannon and other great staff who manage the centre.’ For more information about the VIC visit: www.brunswickheads.org.au.

Big Scrub day comes to Bangalow

Bangalow Showground was bathed in Sunday sunshine for the annual Big Scrub Rainforest Day, the oval studded with colourful tents and marquees. Within the coolness of the A&I Hall, Landcare’s Dr Tony Parkes officially opened the event before handing over to paleo-botanist Dr Mary E White AM. Specialist in prehistoric plants and author of many books on the Australian environment, the diminutive academic traced life on Earth from the beginning, four billion years ago, proceeding through each geological phase with a slide show, to eventually arrive at today and a situation where ‘we have destroyed 80% of the trees that were in this continent since we came to Australia... [and it’s] the sort of thing that has happened globally.’ At the heart of the matter, she told the packed hall, is the ‘decreasing [of] the amount of perennial diverse natural vegetation.’ The removal of the Big Scrub is a prime example of what is happening globally – ‘more than 70% of canopy cover has disappeared within our short history.’ She spoke about the great capacity of mankind to ‘destabilise natural mechanisms’ and the fact that Australia is in the process of drying out as we

move ever northward (at a rate, she said, of seven centimetres per year.) Outside, families wandered in a leisurely manner, sought shade under the big trees, browsed at stalls by Rainforest Foods, Friends of the Koala, Brunswick Valley Landcare. At the Wildlife Carers tent two cute fluffy bats hung upside down in a cage, bemused by the attention. A guitarist sang ‘You gotta learn recycle, reduce, re-use, recycle’ to a handful of admirers clapping thinly; Fire In The Belly dispensed gourmet pizzas from their portable wood-fired dome oven; African Village’s bright white tent displayed a blackboard offering Goat with Couscous, Jamaican Pie and Spiced Lime Juice. Mick and Thelma from Gunnawannabe discussed bush tucker, passing around home-made wattle seed bread crostini with smoked wallaby draped over a smear of sweet potato paste. Regular buses conveyed attendees on little field trips where they could walk through rainforest. Back in the hall a panel of experts explored The Big Scrub – Why Is It So Special, chaired by Dr Tony Parkes. Disappearing species – underground frogs, geckos, bats, owls, snakes, the Marble Frogmouth – which once occurred in the Big Scrub are now at a disproportionately high level of endangerment.

The need is ‘to increase the size of the remaining Scrub, to create connectivity and resilience, and to consider fauna when planning restoration work’, said David Newell, Community Support Officer with the NSW Catchment Management Authority. Tony Parkes applauded the increase in a community-led recovery since 1988 – ‘we’ve done a great job as a community to save what we can of the Big Scrub’, he said, but mentioned the omnipresent need for funding. Questions from the floor were addressed including, inevitably, the issue of camphor laurel (‘It’s a very complex issue... an aesthetic weed, a component of broader landscape ecosystem processes’, explained David). Workshops were scattered over the oval outside, their topics ranging from Fungi of the Big Scrub to Big Scrub Tree

Planting Techniques. Paul Nelson from Firewheel Nursery in Dorroughby addressed a large audience on Big Scrub Seed Collection and Plant Propagation. He deals with, he said, ‘over 200 species, each with its own intricacies and little tricks’, then launched into an overview of the types of seeds there are and the best ways to collect, process then sow them. ‘Every species from the Big Scrub’, he said, ‘you will see on the roadsides – they often look like just a bunch of weeds.’ Reeling off the names of species he often seemed to be speaking another language – and yet when questions came from the audience it was clear that it was a language many understood with ease. ‘Just grow more trees’, was Paul’s main message. This was the first year that Big Scrub Rainforest Day was held at Bangalow – the heart of the Big Scrub.

Ocean Shores art expo draws a crowd Eve Jeffery

5 MINS FROM THE HIGHWAY

6685 5212 16 BRIGANTINE ST, ARTS & INDUSTRY ESTATE BYRON BAY

Like a butterfly outgrowing the chrysalis, the Ocean Shores Art Expo was bursting at the seams with 200 entries which were displayed for the viewing pleasure of the public over the weekend at the Ocean Shores Community Centre. The event, which has grown every year since it humble beginnings five years ago, opened last Friday to the joy of organisers and the appreciative crowd of 300 who packed out the hall. The joy also spread over winners of each category. A shy artist who has entered works for several years won her first ever prize and her face showed the surprise and emotion of being recognised and validated as she stepped up for her prize. Charles Crawshaw, who was awarded second place in the drawing/pastel section, was fit to burst and made great use of the stage with an enthusiastic and energetic ‘happy dance’ as he accepted his prize. The Viewers Choice which was drawn at 3pm on Sunday went to Virginia Finch for her painting ‘Waxing Moon’. ‘Visitors were amazed by the variety and quality of the work,’ said Ri Fraser, one of the event organisers. ‘Community art shows are a platform for new

New model of care in local midwifery Commencing on Monday September 28, women who book into Mullumbimby & District War Memorial Hospital Birthing Service will be allocated a midwife for the duration of their pregnancy and post natal period. ‘The advantage of this option is that the women will be able to have contact with a primary midwife (and support midwife in their absence), thereby having continuity of care throughout pregnancy, labour and post natal periods,’ said Jane Ackerman, Executive Officer/Director of Nursing, Mullumbimby and Byron Hospitals. ‘This is a very exciting

change for both the midwives and women. Having a single point of midwifery contact has been a priority for women in the Shire for many years. ‘Commencing a model whereby midwives practise caseload midwifery is a great drawcard for midwives and the continuity of birthing services in the Byron Shire. ‘The birthing team of doctors and midwives discussed a model of care for pregnant women that would be sustainable for the next ten years. The priority was to develop a model that supported women who were suitable for a low risk birthing service, those women

who progressed through normal pregnancy and labour.’ According to NSW Health, ‘research indicates that midwife-led care offers an appropriate and cost effective type of health care option for normal pregnancy and birth. Research also indicates that women receiving most of their care from a midwife experience low rates of intervention, excellent outcomes and are happy with their care. NSW Health recognises women’s rights to choose their care provider. Now the women of Byron Shire who have normal pregnancies will have the option to choose a midwife for their care.’

are emailing in with inspiration and ideas for next year. As well as thanks for this year. ‘We are hopeful that one day we will be housed in the Roundhouse Art and Cultural Centre at the Council-owned site on Orana Road.’ To find out more or see the prize winner results, visit: www.osartexpo.com.

New citizens celebrate 60th year

sun lounge central

Story & photo Eve Jeffery

The Byron Shire welcomed 23 new Australians last Thursday at a special Australian Citizenship Day ceremony hosted by Byron Shire Council. Byron Shire Mayor Jan Barham said it was a particularly special year to celebrate Australian Citizenship Day as 2009 marks the 60th anniversary of Australian citizenship. Since the first citizenship ceremony in 1949, more than four million people from over 200 countries have chosen to become Australian citizens. Mayor Barham welcomed the new citizens to what she believes is one of the most highly prized parts of Australia. ‘We live in one of the most beautiful parts of Australia and we look forward to your involvement and commitment to our lifestyle and adding to the cultural vitality of our community,’ she said. ‘Byron Shire is a wonderful, active community and I encourage you to become involved in one of the numerous volunteer organisations that are the backbone of the region.’ She went on to say that volunteering ‘is not only a wonderful way to support our valuable community organisations, it’s also a great way to meet people.’ The council chambers typically hosts six full ceremonies a year, normally on the last Monday of every other month at

During the ceremony which featured a pledge and an affirmation, the new Aussies were treated to some Australian folk music by Phil Eisenberg and were encouraged to participate in a rousing version of ‘Home Among The Gum Trees’. Each candidate was given a small national flag and a native plant. One hundred and six candidates have become new citizens this year, and the 23 recipients, including five dependants,

making their pledges last week came from Canada, France, UK, USA, Jamaica, Austria, New Zealand, Iran and Thailand. Clare Matheson from the UK is already a very supportive member of the community. Clare and her husband Mark manage the swimming pool in Mullumbimby. Clare was really excited to become an Australian. ‘I have been been here for six years,’ said Clare. ‘I really enjoy being part of the local and now the Australian community and I will have the opportunity to vote, which is very important.’ Hans Maurer hails from Vi-

enna and has lived here since 1982 and felt that it was probably about time he became an Australian. Yupa Walford and Kulanaree Williams were both born in Thailand. Yupa has lived with her husband and children in the area for eight years and felt she wanted to become a true member of her community with the opportunity to vote and Kulanaree wanted to be Aussie like her husband. ‘There are so many reasons that becoming an Australian is important to me. I have so many friends and family in Australia. I just love it here.’

Farewell to Don Dickson

M2B hands $13,500 to worthy causes

Chris Foster (VRA), Angela Cornell, Mehil Beckerman, Mark Collinson and Cass Emmanuel (Mullum PS P&C) and Jenny Watson (Mullum High P&C) got together for the cheque handover last Friday at Mullumbimby Public School.

Brunswick Heads identity Don Dickson died recently at the age of 82. Mr Dickson was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia in the 1999 Australia Day honours list for his services to war veterans and the community in general. Secretary of the local RSL sub-branch for 14 years, Don was noted for his efficiency and his helpfulness to his fellow veterans. He was also involved in the administration of the new Brunswick Heads

community centre opposite the surf club. His volunteer activities also extended to Red Cross and Lifeline. Through World Vision Don sponsored children in Africa and the Philippines. Local RSL vice president and welfare officer Frank Mills says he got to know Don well over the last 15 years. ‘Don Dickson was a unique man,’ says Frank. ‘He understood government departments and the law and he

would always question the case for anybody. He was honest and straight and had a deep sense of connection with the RSL and its members, always giving his best. ‘When I visited Don in the last few months, he willingly accepted his fate and even though he could not participate in the activities and administration of the RSL, he remained interested until the end. He will certainly be missed and will leave a huge gap behind.’

With a total income of over $28,000 from entry fees, donations and sponsorship, the not-for-profit event produced a grand total of $13,500 in funds to give to deserving organisations after expenses. ‘This year’s recipients were Oxfam Australia, specifically the Indigenous Australia projects and the Brunswick Valley and District Volunteer Rescue Squad, who each received $6,075,’ said Mehil. ‘The remainder was divided between the P&Cs from both the Mullum High and Public Schools who were each instrumental in donating space and facilities at the starting points of the

Networking good for local business Victoria Cosford

It is generally recognised that word-of-mouth is the best advertising there is. Few business networking organisations are able to demonstrate this quite as effectively as BNI – or Business Network International. BNI is a business franchise which operates in 40 countries and has over 110,000 members. A business referral organisation, its primary purpose is to assist its members to exchange qualified business referrals and to develop word-of-mouth marketing techniques. Within the framework of a professional structure and an ongoing training system, its members are able to both network and constantly update their referral marketing skills – all of it conducted within an environment in which personal relationships can be developed with other qualified business professionals. Matthew Denehy, pictured, is the Managing Director of Eagle Insurance Brokers and also the chapter president of BNI for Byron Bay. He told The Echo that ‘it bases its program on a philosophy of Givers Gain’. At weekly breakfasts the 16odd members (who may bring

guests and potential members) are given 60 seconds to promote their business or service and to educate other members about what they do. ‘It’s not ambush-marketing’, Matt explained, ‘or forcing people to do business – it becomes a really personal network of giving and getting back.’ Knowing, liking and trusting people, he continued, provides ‘that really warm and solid referral upfront.’ One of the criterion of the organisation is that there be representation by only one category of business in each chapter; that way, Matt said, ‘it locks out the opposition.’ (So, for example, there may be a bookkeeper, a computer technologist, a hair-

dresser and a tyre mechanic in the same chapter, but only one of each.) Testimonials are given out and all referrals are tracked in order that their effectiveness can be gauged. Last year, according to Matt, members of BNI in Australia generated business referrals that resulted in more than $70 million in new business. Executive Directors Leo and Susan Petrik have operated the BNI Gold Coast region – which encompasses Logan City, Gold Coast, Beaudesert Shire and the Northern Rivers of NSW down to Ballina – for the past five years. Leo said the main benefits to members include increased exposure to many other people and businesses; substantially increased volume of business referrals; participation in up to 48 networking meetings a year; free listing on the BNI website directory; and opportunities to participate in cross-chapter networking events and social functions.’ ‘Becoming a member of BNI,’ Matt Denehy told The Echo, ‘is like instantly acquiring a new team of salespeople who are looking for opportunities for your business.’ For further information contact Matt on 0409 396 355.

Should any structures be deemed by qualified engineers to be at immediate risk due to further coastal erosion then Council is ‘to inform landowners of a) compliance with their conditions of consent; or b) identified risks (in the absence of a DA)’. Council will fund the cost of surveying beach precincts from $20,000 allocated for coastal and estuary management plan actions within the Environmental Levy.

of sympathy with the Liberal cause should not be seen as a disadvantage. This was rightly understood to mean they were not even to consider anyone who wasn’t a rusted-on, card-carrying supporter, and the principle was unfailingly followed.

This did not mean all of his appointments were bad; Andrew Peacock, for instance, was eminently well qualified to become our ambassador to Washington. But others were the worst and most blatant examples of jobs for the boys. A particularly egregious example was Senator Michael Baume, one of Howard’s most assiduous muckrakers, described by Paul Keating as a piece of parliamentary filth, who was given his remittance as consul-general in Los Angeles. Howard, of course, could claim that he was just following the pattern set by his predecessors; see Egerton above. And indeed he was, which is what makes Kevin Rudd’s spectacular repudiation of the system so surprising and welcome. Brendan Nelson, our ambassador designate to the European Union and NATO, is

10 September 22, 2009 The Byron Shire Echo

This of course is in Rudd’s interests; he is buying off some of Labor’s most credible potential critics, although it must be said that he has never gone as far as Whitlam, who enticed the DLP’s Vince Gair out of the senate with the bait of the ambassadorship to Ireland and the Vatican. And of course it also makes our Prime Minister look statesmanlike and inclusive, which, his critics insist, is the real point of the exercise. But there is no evidence that Rudd is not sincere in his expressed desire to make use of the best talent available. He has never been a tribal politician; unlike Paul Keating and Mark Latham, to name but two, he does not have a visceral hatred of the mere idea of the Liberal Party, and he has demonstrated a Christian capacity not only to forgive, but to embrace his former enemies. Except perhaps one: John Winston Howard still languishes on the outer. That is a bridge

too hard to cross – or perhaps it’s just that nothing has come up that suits Howard’s peculiar talents. But come on: someone, somewhere must be in need of an impeccably credentialed roadblock. Of course there is another way of looking at the argument that not all the good people are on one side. The story is told of the newcomer who took his seat in the House of Representatives and looked across the chamber. ‘There they are,’ he breathed. ‘The enemy.’ An old hand sitting nearby smiled sardonically. ‘No, son, that’s the opposition. The enemy are the ones sitting all around you.’ The line may resonate with Malcolm Turnbull, currently on a privately financed trip to London. Normally a leader with Turnbull’s polling would be highly reluctant or less euphemistically scared witless about leaving the country unless he planned not to return; his job would be seriously at risk. Turnbull, however, owns the dubious advantage that his job is considered a death seat to which no one even vaguely competent presently aspires. Still, taking leave at what is generally seen as a critical time for both his own Liberal Party and for the coalition as a whole might be seen as an act of bravado bordering on nose-thumbing. Turnbull is indeed surrounded by enemies, and he needs to win at least some of them over if he is to have any real future in politics. He has always seen his life as a series of challenges; he is pushing this latest one right to the limit. Or perhaps he is already resigned to losing it and is preparing for the next one. Might Rudd have something in mind?

A start to managing tourism

À i Ê i>`Ê+Õ>ÀÀÞÊ >ÀÌ Ü À Ã

As one who has followed this issue from the day that the previous Economic Development Officer (EDO) first took the proposal to Council, it has been encouraging to see the original document produced by SCU morph from a narrow economic development statement into more of a community economic development statement. ‘Community’ was always part of the job title (Community Economic Development Officer), but it has taken the community through the consultative process to assert its central relevance to a sustainable future for our Shire. If you are interested in tourism and would like to make a positive contribution to the Shire, I encourage you to nominate for positions on the Tourism Advisory Committee.

Some elaboration on last week’s editorial on ‘managing tourism’. It is important to distinguish between ‘tourism’ and the ‘tourism industry’. Byron Shire residents do not need to be employed by or associated with the tourism industry to get a benefit or suffer an impact from tourism. As such ‘managing’ tourism involves two separate tasks. First, support tourism development that continues to provide benefits to the community and secondly, develop strategies to manage the impacts of tourism on the community and environment. To be clear, it does not involve Council managing the tourism industry. That continues to be the business of the industry. Council has a particular interest due to the impacts of tourism on infrastructure and community amenity.

Council needs to work with the community including the tourism industry to ensure that the benefits are maximised while the impacts are minimised. The Tourism Management Plan (TMP) is a framework for this to happen. The TMP is the starting point rather than the end point. The success of the TMP will ultimately depend on those selected to sit on the Tourism Advisory Committee (TAC) and the extent to which participants are able to look at the issues from a shirewide perspective. It is important for example that those representing the tourism industry recognise that the best interests of the industry are served by an industry that seeks to acknowledge and harmonise with community values. Similarly community and other representatives will need

to contribute positively to the development of tourism that reduces burdens on infrastructure, community amenity and protects the environment. I would be the first to acknowledge that the adopted TMP has its deficiencies and that there are valuable lessons to be learnt about how the plan was developed. In particular it is worth noting that the development of the plan began inside an economic development bubble with little or no reference to the expected social outcomes. As such the plan talks about ‘balancing’ the social, economic and environment. A more appropriate community perspective might be to acknowledge social, economic and environmental objectives that derive from economic development. In short, harmony is the goal, not a tradeoff.

sought escape from in the big smoke. Nigel Eddy and John Weiley (letters September 8 and 15) would have me believe that only those that can afford acreage (or 800k plus in my kick) are rightful residents. Having not the required coinage I purchased a house in town, a little less in space than the proposed 600m2 allotments out Left Bank Road way. In a quick aside, I fully agree that the developers should map out their proposals for development; Council, as our elected arm, should demand it. In that regard, even though with no proof of prevailing white shoes, John Weiley is correct. As for his claim that new suburban development would be ‘a disaster in every respect’, he denies the fact that we are a growing town and we need to be accommodated. Why does he have to faff on about how fortunate he is and how everyone he comes across would dismember themselves to be in his position? Aside aside, you know what I’ve discovered? People either side of me, and they laugh and love and fart and quarrel, sometimes their music is too loud but their sense of rhythm is above the national index and we all co-exist on our less than 600m2 lots in our sub-urban contentedness. People procreate and babies grow and babies grow up and want to live here too. And babies from all over and some grey around the temple want to move here also. Is entry into this area contingent upon lots of cash to buy lots of acreage? Those fortunate and smart enough to buy in when it was cheap are in a grandstand position. Is that why they are

Pedestrian unfriendly My partner and I have just had a very enjoyable week’s holiday in beautiful Byron Bay. We were surprised at just how pedestrian unfriendly the town is, given that visitors are an important part of the local economy. The few pedestrian crossings make it impossible to cross the road without making a large detour. The poor state (or lack of) footpaths, inadequate streetlighting and signage in many places was worrying. At night we needed a torch to navigate the bumpy grass verges and ditches to avoid a nasty accident. In the interests of both safety and to make the town a better place, surely there needs some upgrading of the above. Helen Foot

Belongil was asking for trouble but didn’t expect quite the level of personal acrimony that ensued, notably from Michael Malloy who then went on to use his space to push a different barrow. Michael’s description of my attitude towards the Belongil situation as a ‘smarmy dismissal’ of the residents’ plight hardly accords with what I actually wrote and his accusation of hypocrisy is also misplaced. Briefly, when I bought my house back in the early 90s on what was then the highway, it was on the understanding that Bangalow – the whole of Bangalow – was to be bypassed. Instead we were shortchanged by the RTA and those of us on the western edge were left exposed to an ever-increasing stream of traffic, much of it heavy vehicles, travelling to and from the west. Perhaps I should accept his label as ‘head cheerleader for the southern bypass’ as a compliment but in fact there are many of us equally active in seeking relief from the traffic: the noise and vibrations, the pollution and the actual danger. And I can’t take credit either for the ‘graffiti-like signs’ which apparently annoy him. Michael makes extreme claims about the ‘devastation’ to be expected from construction of the approximately 2km link road and I can only suppose he is concerned, wrongly I

Coastal erosion and climate change ■ I write in a personal capacity. I have been a resident of Bangalow with my family for the last ten years. My family love Belongil, we can take the dog and the surf is highly suitable for my teenage daughter who is learning surfing. I earlier rang talkback radio to complain about the current lose/lose situation where members of the public have little beach and the property owners are not able to protect their properties. I make another call for a commission of inquiry. A commission of inquiry is established under the Environmental Planning & Assessment Act and allows all parties to put forward their point of view and submit their own expert evidence. In terms of my professional

opinion it seems to me that I would far prefer to see further action taken on climate change addressing the causes of climate change rather than regarding it as inevitable at this point in time. Property owners at Belongil clearly should support this as if action is taken their properties would be secure for a longer time than would be the case if no action is taken. In particular, the current government response to climate change does not use all the public policy instruments available to government. This is clearly necessary. For example I can see no argument why payroll tax (a tax on employment) and payable by industries which have a large CO2 emission could not be abolished in favour of a car-

bon tax. Land tax, stamp duty and Council rates which are regressive taxes should also be reviewed to see if these can be changed to reduce emissions and impose stricter regulation on energy standards for industrial, commercial and domestic machines which use electricity. It seems to me that taxation policy has been an effective instrument for social good, not just for revenue raising. It would also be much easier for developing countries to raise necessary income and to reduce climate change impacts if they were to tax say 50 coalfired power stations rather than have to tax individuals given the number of individuals in developing countries. I am also concerned to see more effective use of regulation.

believe, with possible effects on business, otherwise why would he or anyone else who lives in Bangalow not want to keep traffic away from what is supposed to be a ‘heritage village’, not a major traffic interchange – and if Michael thinks I exaggerate here he should talk to some of the elderly residents of MacKillop Place, just above the roundabout (interchange). And, back to Belongil... Richard McLachlan, I think it’s generally acknowledged that

Council’s ‘protection works’ of the 60s have contributed to the problems at Belongil but do you seriously want the mistake repeated in the light of what we know now?

sources have been expended. I suppose it’s silly to ask whether Council sought legal advice prior to embarking on this project. I suppose it’s equally silly to ask whether Ray Darney, as Planning Director, himself sought legal advice before commencing work. Legalities aside there is one crucial question that relies on simple common sense: before commencing work did the council and/or Ray Darney bother to write to the Department of Planning to ask if Council’s approach was at least in principle correct? The answer, I think, is self-evidently ‘Er, no’. Councillors are seldom well informed regarding the duties they undertake and rely entirely on the professionally qualified staff for planning expertise and associated legal matters. Accordingly I have filed an FOI request for details of the job description which goes with Ray Darney’s employment contract and that of Graeme Faulkner, general manager, to see what their formal responsibilities consist of; someone needs to be brought to account for this fiasco. Staff complain about overwork yet waste their time on projects destined for oblivion. From what I’ve seen so far, Mr Darney and Mr Faulkner earn their $2,500 (approximately) per week by smiling encouragingly as the elected councillors stumble like lemmings over the cliff. Council staff usually justify this by suggesting that it’s not their job as the executive branch to interfere with the deliberations of the legislative branch. Mmmmmm. Be that as it may, in this situation it’s incumbent upon elected councillors to ask question, ask questions, and ask questions. But they don’t; they sit there like stunned mullets and invite being rolled. I am reminded of the ancient Confucian saying: ‘Deep sleeper who wake up every morning with aching rectum

School bullying In response to Pam Morris’s letter to the editor of September 15. The public meeting was organised to hear concerns of the public and parents. When Greg Cloak (DET regional Director) was officially invited on Wednesday September 2 at 4pm he said he will put it to the DET legal team. At 8.30am on the 3rd he declined on behalf of the legal team and said DET employees are not permitted to go to such community meetings. (There were many DET employees there.) This made a lot of parents happier to attend, because they believed the reprisal to their children would be limited. As for the two mothers that were agitated (they have been bullied), this is because there is a huge culture of bullying within Mullum High as well as many other schools within the district. There are action groups in Casino as well as Kyogle. Yes the DET does have policies against bullying and violence, but the panel commissioned by the state government to make these policies has been actively lobbying the government for three years to change them as they don’t work or are not being implemented correctly.

and then start falling. That means Copenhagen is our last chance. We need agreement between all countries: rich and poor. But at the moment even the rich countries cannot agree with each other how carbon emissions should be counted! Meanwhile the Chinese don’t want their emissions to peak until 2030! If Obama cannot even get his healthcare reform through a Democratic-controlled senate, what chance is there of a climate change treaty that goes beyond Kyoto? I guess there are a lot of Americans who don’t want to delay the second coming, but would He want to fuck up the ecosystem in the process? Sapoty Brook

Mullumbimby None of the incidents of bullying or violence at Mullum High has ever been properly investigated and the police have not been made aware. Serious incident reports to the police are part of these socalled policies and they are not being done by the school. We have hundreds of pages of complaints that have been submitted to the school office that have never even had replies, let alone answers. If people want to put their heads in the sand and go along with and permit this to occur then these incidents lie at your feet. I myself had a phone call from the school threatening legal action, putting me on notice of defamation. To this day the email promised by this person has never turned up. Is this not in itself bullying? Alex Devantier

Is it now just left to beautiful beaches and green hills (not that we don’t love them)? But, where is the culture of the fringe dwellers? They are the people who can barely afford to pay for a market stall now, let alone rent a shop, and almost certainly can’t afford to live here in town even if they wanted to, because let’s face it, most of them have moved out. Wouldn’t it have been a beautiful thing to have opened a large, daily indoor market divided into small retail outlets to showcase the talents of those living in this area? The town now reflects absolutely nothing of the individuality and creativity that is used as a marketing ploy when appropriate and swept under the seagrass rug as soon as the money is handed over to accommodate yet another surf franchise or other, where, incidentally, you will find the same stock as the one just up the street. Or another well known food franchise (in case you walked by the one at the other end of town). Or a women’s clothing store that sells corporate clothing and party frocks for a night on the town, because we all know how handy they can be in a seaside town.

The Star Court Arcade full of wonderful, creative women managing interesting secondhand and vintage stores. We still have the Red Dove and the CWA with lunch definitely under $10.

Support for Whitey I have known Whitey Dargin for more than twenty years. In 1988 I met Whitey at a place called The Station, the first police station in Sydney. This place provided lunch, showers, washing machines and dryers for the homeless children. At four o’clock the doors were closed and the chil-

Woolworths’ pending challenge in the Land and Environment Court includes the request that BSC/ratepayers pay their legal costs to their challenge. Meanwhile, Woolworths CEO Michael Luscombe welcomes website viewers to their first Corporate Responsibility Report – it’s about giving life to their philosophy of ‘Doing the right thing’. Proudly the corporate claims to score a B+. See http://crreport08.woolworthslimited.com.au. Why are Woolworths seek-

ing to have our local Council’s refusal of their onsite system overruled when they claim to be considerate of local planning laws and communities? Philosophy of doing the right thing? B+ for corporate responsibility? Michael Luscombe, your performance here in Mullumbimby is a dismal F for failure. If we are to believe one word of Woolworths’ Responsibility Report then now is the time for them to withdraw their court challenge. Michael Luscombe, it’s about ‘doing the right thing’.

dren were back on the streets. I talked to six children 1215 years old and Whitey who was their minder. He protected them from the predators of the streets. After speaking to them, my heart went out to them. They asked me to take them home with us. At the time, my daughters Maya, Mandy and Chrissie, who was a homeless girl from Lismore, were on our journey around Australia, investigating the plight of the children, finding there was no long term housing for them.We were living in a one bedroom cabin, no electricity, outside toilet, in the forest in Upper Main Arm. I looked at them, and Chrissie said we should take them home. We only had a Datson 240Z car. How were we going to get them home? Whitey was so happy to have support. Whitey looked after the children while I made phone calls to every charity, religion, DoCS, all organisations, to no avail. Sorry, we cannot help. We thought of Ita Buttrose, she might help. We called her, she said bring the children to my office, as we did. The children knew where her office was, so they met us there. By the time they arrived there were 13 children. Ita paid out of her own pocket a bus driver and petrol for us to take them home. (Thank you, Ita, we are truly grateful.) I called up Sol Farina and my family to meet us to take the

children up the mountain. Now can you imagine, here we are, Whitey, me, my twins Maya and Mandy, Chrissie and 13 homeless children in a one bedroom cabin. The best years of my life, to see these children grow into creative human beings is a blessing. From here there are many stories to tell, but through all our trials and tribulations we all stayed together for three and a half years, and continue to stay close, wherever we are. So thank you, Whitey, for the love and support for the homeless children, you have earned your little house and should not be evicted. You need to be respected and loved for being a good man.

Letters Continued from page 13

What I wanted to say is that the koala population in this Shire and Australia is under threat from humans driving cars, bulldozing habitat for housing developments, dogs, domestic and feral cats, and chlamydia which can be brought on by being stressed out. So the poor old bear of Australia hasn’t got a lot going for it as far as human intervention goes. The more habitat loss and disturbance, the lesser number of koalas. As far as you in the tourist industry are concerned, they are an attraction to most overseas visitors. I have to ask, why are we so hellbent on allowing these poor koalas to be under threat of extinction when they contribute to the tourist industry? Better to have them alive in the wild than stuffed ones in a museum, or maybe – if they survive? – in the parks. It’s the same as the whale watching industry, better alive than stuffed or just photos to look at. There’s nothing Blues Fest can do to stop the koala population at Tyagarah from stressing out and possibly some being killed by all the traffic activity. I ask you, Peter Noble, what is your predicted outcome for these

threatened species on your site? A positive reply would be a good thing from you. Paul Brecht

After the final tests from the specialists and the terrible news, the family was asked about organ donation. Graeme had ticked the box on his NSW driver’s licence and we fully supported his wishes. I cannot speak highly enough of the wonderful team of professionals involved in this process. I was at the hospital for the duration of the procedure, from the paperwork to the return of his body after retrieval, and at all times I was full of respect and admiration for the work these people do. Only the organs which have been matched with a waiting

recipient are taken and jetted to Sydney for immediate transplantation. We heard within days that all four organs were successfully implanted and that four people were sitting up in bed recovering from surgery with my brother’s parts having saved their lives. I hope they get a bit of his sense of humour, his sentimentality, his love of life. This process has made it possible for my family and our friends to make some sense of Graeme’s death and to actually see a wonderful, positive outcome. The recipients are invited to get in touch with the donor family and I look for-

ward to having some contact in the future. I urge you all to please consider organ donation. You can go online to register, or you can tick the box, but it is vital to inform your family of your wishes, because ultimately they have the power to say yes or no. Only approximately 200 people each year are organ donors in Australia, one of the lowest rates of any country in the western world. Let’s share our lives together, and give the gift of life.

southerlies blew the bass into our home I opened the windows and enjoyed it. Byron is a festival town. It’s part of what makes it the unique place it is so why there is constant complaining by NIMBY agitators about the obvious effects of festivals is beyond me. Most people I have spoken to love the festivals and heaps of locals get work from them. We live in earshot of Belongil Fields and also get freebies because of

the fact. It was fun, the punters were young, enthusiastic and very friendly and the organisers cleared up the mess. It’s getting so that almost anything is opposed by the Echo letter writers so I felt that one of the silent majority should speak up. We love the festivals of all kinds, think the Yelgun site is a good idea (except no more freebies!), don’t mind the noise and traffic at all and love the mix of people the events bring. Out of 52 weekends per year there is surely place for three or four big festivals and many smaller ones of all types. I suspect that most people reading this will agree with me, but only the anti-all-progress-atall-costs mob will respond. We need to make some careful un-blinkered choices and see that not all events are bad, not all development is bad. In fact it’s inevitable; so let’s choose the good from the awful. Opposing everything is senseless and we can end up with Woolies instead of Mallams! There are plenty of good people attempting positive events that this community is energised by – Splendour is an excellent example.

in the future, with the coming world food and oil shortages. I have been seeing this word ‘certified’ bandied about by the BFM in their ads in The Echo, and in their signage, and have wondered what they meant, because I could count the amount of ‘certified organic’ farmers’ stalls at the BFM on my fingers, and there are about 60 stalls at the market. I got my answer in the article about the BFM in The Echo this past week. ‘Certified’ means that two monitors go out to the farms to make sure the produce is grown on those farms! This is what is called ‘setting the pace’? The Brighton market also monitors its farmers without the self-authorised ‘certified’ label. In fact, this is proving to be very confusing and deceptive, because I can’t count the amount of people I’ve had to inform that the BFM is not a ‘certified organic’ market. I remember informing one young mother who thought the fruit that she had bought at the market, and was feeding her young daughter, was organic. She was horrified to find otherwise. For a while I was able to buy ‘certified organic’ eggs from a farmer until a couple of weeks ago when they informed me that they were not allowed to sell these beautiful eggs, because the other items in their stall were not certified organic. Now, this week, they have new labels on these ‘certified organic’ eggs, that don’t say ‘certified organic’! Someone is trying to do the ‘right’ thing as far as I’m concerned, trying to farm sustainably, and they’re getting slapped down for it by the BFM committee. Now, if the BFM wants to truly be in the forefront of farmers markets, they might want to monitor for GMO in feedstock and other ingredients, and start a ‘plastic bag free’ system, as well as supporting farmers who are trying to farm the sustainable, poison-free way, by going organic and/or biodynamic. Maybe the BFM committee should use another word for the monitoring of its farmers.

Market monitoring I have been shopping at the Byron Farmers Market for over three years. I buy from those farmers who are farming the sustainable way, ie certified organic. Just in case people are wondering what all the fuss is about: conventional produce is grown with artificial fertilisers and usually sprayed with at least one if not several highly toxic pesticides, while organic farmers use only organic material for fertiliser, and do not use toxic pesticide sprays. I and many others would like to have the choice of not eating conventional produce. I am really happy that we in the Byron Shire have farmers markets so that we can purchase directly from the farmers in the area and support the local community, especially the farmers, who we need to grow more of if we are to sustain ourselves

Footprints of protest: carbon captures the conversation Story & photo Mary Gardner

My friends always tease me because I don’t watch television, but I tease them right back. I tell them that I rely on them watching. When we get together, everyone seems to talk about what they watch. I feel I get all the television I need. ‘There was this show about pedigree dog breeds,’ says one. ‘Yes?’ I say. I remember something I read by Charles Darwin when he was first glimpsing evolution in pigeon breeding, a popular hobby in his time. ‘I saw it!’ says another angrily. ‘These dogs are bred to lives of agony!’ I remember reading a science fiction story told by a designer lapdog of the future. Although the animal was describing its painful life of disability, it was still enough of a dog to be loyal to its humans. ‘Well, that TV show made political waves,’ says a third friend. ‘The BBC withdrew sponsorship of the major UK pedigree dog show and…’ I think of Astrid Lindgren, the author of Pippi Longstocking, who wrote a set of maga-

one is nodding their heads in agreement. Very recently, I read about the burning of coal in Asia. The plume of pollutants rises over the Pacific Ocean on a dust stream. This distributes these combined particulates throughout North America. Particulates are very small, mysterious and insidious. They work their way into the tiniest air spaces inside human lungs, crippling and killing people. The most alarming rates are in polluted cities. But dirty dust is also in rural areas now. It hangs as a haze over US national parks. Through our Asian trading partners, our ancient Australian coal is powdering the New World. ‘How do we get power companies to change and go green?’ Isn’t everyone asking this?

work like that. You would just make pests of yourselves!’ My friends are more worldly than I am. ‘Well, that might be true,’ I laugh. ‘But then there are those of us that really expect the sun to come up every morning.’ More laughter. Still, there is emotion in the air. Urgency. Frustration. I think of Merlin. There’s a new book about the history of this wizard whose legend has origins in those of an ancient deity of prehistoric Britain. Merlin was famous for knowing the past and the future. Unfortunately, he found the present very confusing. Someone mentions those climate talks in Copenhagen. But we can’t talk anymore. Everyone has to leave now. I start clearing the dishes. Time to be very practical. If I write about this for the paper, what is the photo? What image can conjure up how all this feels? If you happened to see me scraping the inside of the exhaust pipe of the car parked in the driveway, this photo is why.

The conversation turns. ‘Did you see the exposé of the carbon sequestration schemes?’ says another friend. ‘It’s a joke.

When they die, they and the carbon sink to the ocean floor. ‘What about the people who tried to shut down a coal power station yesterday? They’re engineers, doctors, teachers. They were all arrested!’ Several people now comment about protest actions. The latest book I am reading is the history of wilderness preservation in NSW. There were protests, one after the other.

A newspaper headline calls it ‘solar coal’. Solar coal is the only clean coal there is. ‘Oh, I remember!’ I suddenly say. Everyone looks up. ‘A few years ago, when a coal company wanted to dig out a proposed wilderness site, all the members of a bush walking club bought a share in the company. Then, entitled to vote, they went to the company meetings. That’s how they influenced the decision making.’ ‘It doesn’t have to be a battle between us and them, greenies and big business,’ says one friend, thoughtfully pausing over his food. ‘What if all of us who want green energy to succeed each buy one share in the power companies and then use our votes to influence the decisions within these companies,’ I say. ‘Don’t be daft!’ There’s laughter. ‘Banks and finance groups hold the ruling numbers of shares in these things.

Planning power in one pair of hands In an episode of ABC TV’s Stateline NSW entitled ‘The Land Bribe’ on September 11, reporter Nick Grimm interviewed leading Sydney barrister Tim Robertson on the ‘parlous condition of the state’s planning laws’, which sees power concentrated in the planning minister’s hands. Read excerpts below. NICK GRIMM: According to one leading authority on planning law in this state, decisions are anything but transparent. Which raises serious questions about the merits of projects getting the go-ahead from the NSW Government.

NICK GRIMM: So, essentially, if a property developer has a project that may lack merit, their best option is to go straight to the Planning Minister?

TIM ROBERTSON: I think when you concentrate power in the hands of one person, you just encourage the kind of – the sort of people who gravitate to opaque decision-making. And sometimes it’s not very seemly. NICK GRIMM: Tim Robertson is a leading Sydney barrister, a senior counsel specialising in environmental law. His clients include government, residents’ groups and property developers. TIM ROBERTSON: The changes that have been made since 2005 have concentrated enormous power in the hands of one person, the Planning Minister, and it has returned the state to the position we were in in about 1965. If you remember, the Premier of the day then was a fellow called Askin. We are now in a position in our planning system that we have returned to the days of Bob Askin.

by rezoning the land, at the same time as granting a project approval under Part 3A, and has done so and did so in several controversial cases, including the Rosecorp development at Catherine Hill Bay.

NICK GRIMM: So in a nutshell, what’s wrong with the way the planning and development is conducted in this state? TIM ROBERTSON: Well, we’ve taken a huge area of development decision-making which previously – where power had been previously diffused amongst the community and in community leadership nodes such as local government, and we’ve concentrated that power in the hands of one person. And that person’s decision-making is essentially ungovernable. The court can only police the boundaries of it, it can only police legality. But there is really no merits review of that decision any longer, because the government has cut out merits review by appointing panels or by requiring concept plans to be prepared, both of which are steps taken for the purpose of preventing judicial review of the government’s decisions. And in the case of major infrastructure projects, which the government decides are important enough to classify as such, there is no right of appeal by anybody for any

TIM ROBERTSON: There’s no planning lawyer in the state who would give different advice.

There’s a further problem with the system, and that is in the process of development decision-making, the system now is, under Part 3A, that the developer writes its own conditions.

Byron Bay’s success as a tourist destination has resulted in zero affordable housing. Town workers, and even some Council staff, cannot afford to live in Byron, Bangalow or Mullumbimby. The nearest affordable urban housing is in adjacent shires. Many workers who make Byron’s tourist industry successful must commute 30-40km on poor and dangerous roads, contributing to daily traffic gridlocks, tonnes of greenhouse gases and tragic road fatality statistics. These costs far outweigh ‘economic impacts’ for rich Byron landholders. to daily traffic gridlocks, tonnes of greenhouse gases and tragic road fatality statistics. These social, economic and environmental costs far outweigh ‘economic impacts’ for rich Byron landholders. The only viable alternative to limiting holiday letting for affordable permanent rental needs is secondary rural housing within the Shire. Rural affordable housing is more than justified given that the only alternative is commuting from Ballina or Lismore! Mr Gellibrand might also note that if you work near the shops, you don’t need to live near them too. We do have refrigeration here so we don’t have to shop daily!

Rural land uses Secondary rural dwellings are essential for a host of environmental, social and economic reasons. Farming families with adult children or ageing parents need to be near each other without overcrowding a single dwelling. Rural tourist facilities need maids, chefs, managers and gardening staff. Byron Bay’s workers need affordable housing within a rea-

sonable distance of their jobs. Rural landholders also face new challenges: agricultural diversification, farm succession, rural tourism and environmental degradation as well as the cyclic threats of storms, floods, fires and unreliable rainfall. Broad-scale cattle and cane are no longer economically viable. Agricultural opportunities such as coffee and market gardening are far more labour intensive than a couple of tree-changers with lifestyles or retiring cattle farmers with no adult children around to help them can manage. Environmental values and wildlife decline as camphor colonises every space that is not intensively managed (even if only for several decades). Current land use planning does not reflect the actuality. Subdivision is impossible, community title and multiple occupancy approval processes are prohibitively complex and secondary dwellings (apart from limited farm worker’s cottages) are proscribed. There are planning solutions to these issues that answer community needs. Earlier this year the Northern Territory government declared a mora-

torium on unapproved rural structures, giving landholders until June 2011 to put their houses in order, including approval processes for existing structures that meet relevant building criteria. It is possible to convert disused dairy bails for additional family households, build a second dwelling, add temporary dwellings for seasonal workers, or build small rural rental communities that meet building code and environmental safety requirements. However Mayor Jan’s letter (Echo, September 15) suggests that DoP(E)’s ‘prevailing development standards’ are cool temperate brick venereal McMansions that are not appropriate in this subtropical climate. After over a decade of lobbying, we finally have a SEPP, but no affordable housing. Our flawed Rural Settlement Strategy remains unrevised and our much reviewed LEP is still in limbo. The NSW DoP(E) seems to be overcome by toxic urban fumes and totally unable to comprehend Byron Shire reality! * Sheltering Palms was situated between Marshalls Creek and the ocean until storms (19671970s) damaged the village beyond repair. After lobbying by then Acting Prime Minister Doug Anthony, the NSW government repurchased the land under the Coastal Lands Protection Scheme. Few current Shire residents know this history and may be condemned to repeat it. DoP(E) may have forgotten it too!

Tom Gellibrand’s leaked letter (Echo, September 8) to Council indicates that the NewcastleSydney-Wollongong based Department of Planning (Eventually) seems unable to distinguish between the map and the territory beyond metropolitan areas. Recent Echo contributions highlight real problems in Byron Shire that planners cannot see from their rose-tinted office windows. Planning is supposed to accommodate changing circumstances in the real world. Yet Mr Gellibrand seems to think it is more ‘appropriate’ to change reality to fit DoP(E)’s paper plans rather than to enable us to plan and manage reality to meet the needs of Shire residents. It is our Local Environment that we are planning, after all. We have to live with the results. Unlike maps and paper strategies, the real territory is dynamic and filled with unforeseen events. In the fifteen years of Byron Shire’s convoluted quest for a functional Local Environment Plan, many changes have occurred in the Shire. Floods and landslides cut mapped roads, highways eat into prime agricultural land, farmers run fewer cattle, diversify into more labour intensive agriculture or sell up to tree-changers, students at SAE and English language schools crowd locals out of permanent rentals and holiday houses are let all over the place, while Belongil follows Sheltering Palms (once near Brunswick Heads*) into the stormy sea, no matter how many rock walls we build.

Sucker for Jez Just over a year ago Jez Mead moved to Melbourne and in doing so has taken his career to the next level. His latest EP release on his own label, is artist-managed by ‘Original Matters’ and distributed through EMI. It heralds a new confidence that should see this singer songwriter stop hiding his rather impressive light under the proverbial bushel. Jez should be our Jack Jonson. Or Jon Butler. Or Joni Mitchell. Jez is stoked to have new management ‘I have Angus and Julia Stone’s management: Original Matters. They have been magic. Absolutely awesome. They think on the same lines and the deal we have is very bare and there’s not a lot of pressure. They told me I can put out what I put out. It’s not a five album deal or anything like that.’ Which is perfect because Jez has always safeguarded his independence as a musician. Looking back on his musical influences, Jez laughingly credits Neil Diamond as being one of his first major influences. ‘I was raised on it. I was brainwashed by it. Mum had two copies of Hot August Night. She had one as a spare just in case her copy broke. I could get a wig and do clubs.’ Somehow I think he’d have to lose the beard. Jez’s album, due for release in 2010 is called Beard of Bees. While Jez has no such facial growth he is threatening to find someone with a hive who’s

up to the challenge. Sucker is the first EP single release. It’s all about the painful wasteland of relationship, the incongruency and the feeling of being hoodwinked: again. The single is out now. ‘It’s good. Apparently it’s a stragegy, as opposed to my old way of no strategy.’ So why choose Sucker? ‘On the album it sticks out as the four minutes of pop – its country folk pop I suppose. Every time I say that, people say no it’s not it’s got all the hallmarks of pop, it’s got the bridge – it’s the catchiest number, I felt it was the one that would do well on radio.’ The album was recorded here in Byron at 301 Studios. It was pretty much a solo affair. ‘I self recorded with little old me. Cleis is on there but it’s pretty much a solo affair. Oh, and about 30 SAE students clapping and jumping on the floor, I also have Julia Stone on one of the songs in a duet.’ When it comes to knowing what he wants in the studio, Jez credits the work he’s done with musician and occasional producer, James Cruickshank. ‘I am getting a lot better, it was one of the good things of working with James – I learnt to get rid of anything extraneous. ‘He’s good at that. I will admit that I do have a tendency to waffle on a bit in my songs in general, for some songs it works and for others it doesn’t – I am making songs that are

shorter and more precise. I learnt to be a bit more ruthless.’ Jez marks the difference between studio and live shows with his tendency to use his songs as a springboard for improvisation. ‘Some of the live songs I do go for 15 minutes. I have to balance that up in the shorter turnes. I like to take people on journeys. I don’t play the same thing twice. I’ll play the song but I’ll do it differently every time. If I have people dancing and I am at the end of all the dance tunes I’ll extend things. You wanna keep them on the floor if they are into things.’ Jez returns to Byron to play the Hotel Great Northern on Friday October 2.

URTHBOY AT HOTEL GREAT NORTHERN ON FRIDAY

Welcome to Urth Urthboy is an Aussie hip hop artist whose first group Explanetary was a short lived project featuring members of Hermitude and school friends. Urthboy’s first solo album Distant Sense of Random Menace was released in 2003 and featured singles No Rider and Come Around. But it was his 2007 The Signal that kicked things up a notch. With the exceptional production of Count Bounce (TZU) and Elgusto (Hermitude) as well as the success of the first single We Get Around, The Signal was hailed as a classic by Rolling Stone. The only national tour off the back of the album was completely sold out. In addition to his solo material, Urthboy is one of the main lyricists of The Herd who have sold out national tours and major metropolitan theatres. Urthboy has just released his third solo album Spitshine and heads to the Hotel Great Northern on Friday, supported by Astronomy Class, Hermitude, Horrorshow, The Tongue and Unkle Ho.

Going for the Big Time Three generations ago big bands were it. Before the iPod, Xbox, home theatres, internet, or plasma TV, gigs was where people met, danced, fell in love and enjoyed live music. It is perhaps one of the few times in history where musicians earned a decent wage and were allowed the luxury of performing in large ensembles. And while most big bands can’t sustain a performing career these days, there is one local 18 piece ensemble that is defying economic rationalism and is

doing it for the love of it. The Big Band At The End Of The Universe is a one of a kind type band – there is no other Byron/Lismore big band 18 piece ensembles performing to this level of musicanship. What makes them unique is that they rehearse every week and as a result sound good – they choose repertoire that is just, only just, within their capabilities of playing. It’s hard stuff – in New York players are graded by their reading abilities and this band is proud to say they perform repertoire that is in the ‘very hard’ basket. But technical abilities are shortlived if it doesn’t groove, and the combined experience of the group speaks for itself. They are on the bill for the Mullum Music Festival in November and the Buddha Bar have locked them down for regular gigs well into next year. From Ellington and Basie to modern Latin, funk arrangements and vocal numbers this is a chance to see and hear soulful music that harks from an era well before the iPod. They perform at the Buddha Bar Sunday from 7.30pm. Special guest vocalist is Sasha Michalitsianos.

sisters Melia and Nerida Naughton will wow audiences again with their soaring choruses that hook into your heart, beautiful harmonies and folk pop songs oozing with sass and soul. This is the perfect appetiser for the heart wrenching power ballads of Ms Bowditch. Show start at 8pm. If you like your music a little gypsy, a little Balkan with a lot of clapping, yelling and jigging, then you’ll love Paprika Balkanicus. They supported The Cat Empire on their last tour and had the audience on their feet from the first to the last song. I felt like I was in a Fellini film at some decadent Eastern European Wedding. You’ll get the same vibe on Thursday October 1 at Coorabell Hall. For something with more of a flamenco feel, try the Sarazu Quartet at the Mullumbimby Civic Hall on Friday October. 2. Show starts at 8pm. Tix at the door of gigs or online at www. kupromotions.oztix.com.au

Four on the Floor The James Annesley Quartet is an original Melbourne based group featuring James Annesley (soprano, tenor

saxophones), Hugh Stuckey (Guitar), Tom Lee (double bass) and Hugh Harvey (drums). Their music is a unique style of contemporary jazz, which draws influence from serene, earthy folk music as well as hard hitting rock. Annesley’s compositions are rich in dynamic contrast and varied textures, with an emphasis on strong melodic themes. The open structures of the tunes allow for adventurous, freewheeling improvisations. They play the Ballina Hotel’s Jazz-Bah on Saturday.

Bolden Girls The Drill Hall Theatre Company present Bold Girls at their home base this week, written by Rona Munro, directed by Mike Russo and performed by a strong, local cast of four women who bring considerable talent and understanding to this warm and deeply moving play. Bold Girls is a play about four women bravely struggling to keep themselves sane and their families together in the Roman Catholic section of Belfast during the 1990s. In affirming the strengths of these four women it depicts the futility of violence justified by obscure causes, the loss to all when exaggerated gender roles are brutally enforced and the poignancy of lives lived with faltering courage.

Performances are Friday and Saturday this week and next at 8pm, Sunday this week and next at 5pm. Tickets are $15 and $12 concession and are available through The Bookshop, Mullumbimby; Barebones Gallery, Bangalow; Mary Ryan’s Bookshop, Byron Bay; and A Taste Of Tea With A Twist, Brunswick Heads.

ABBA in Byron The days of tribute shows making fun of ABBA’s music and Swedish accents are now in the past. ABBA’s incredible genius and obviously timeless music have proven that this Swedish supergroup deserves to be taken seriously. You can relive the thrill with Abbalive Tribute show. ABBA was a ‘clean cut’ group with a respected image who produced brilliant shows and music. We have the utmost respect for the image they worked so hard for, and therefore keep every detail of the show as authentic as possible. They even breathe like them and wear the same tight jumpsuits with the exact same camel toe, the same blue eye shadow, bad beards and root perms. It’s real baby. Thursday October 1 at the Byron Community Centre.

As is was in the Garden of Eden, so it is at Still@The Centre this month when the gallery mounts Eve (that sounds dreadful, even coming from me!) an impressive group exhibition where over 80 works are on show in a variety of media. It’s all about woman – the ultimate muse – see how she is depicted. And hey bring your sketch pads because there’s also a free life drawing session mid show for budding artists. If you’ve never done it give it a go. You don’t have to be an artist to enjoy life drawing. Thursday at 6pm.

Lindsay Webb ain’t no ordinary comedian. In just over a month from now he’s attempting to break the Guiness Book of Records longest ever performance by a standup comic by cracking a massive 38 hour gig. That’s one man, doing his stichk for hour after hour. Most comics are lucky to have an hour in them let alone 38 of them! This ambitious challenge is what Webb is all about. An international performer for the past five years he first came to fame back in the late nineties when he won the Queensland title for RAW comedy. In 2007 he was voted the best comedian host at the Queensland Comedy Awards and in 1999 he made the finals of the Sydney Comedy Festival’s Comic of The Year. His crack at the world record performance will put his name in the annals (not the anals) of comedy greats. Join Lindsay at the Big Gig at the Ballina RSL as he warms up for his massive record breaking show. He is joined by Robert Grayson as support and Mandy Nolan as MC on Thursday at 8pm. It’s $5 comedy at its best!

Aston Shuffle Mind altering soundwaves at LiQUiD this Friday from the genetically modified super androids Aston Shuffle. Vance Musgrove and Mikah Freeman are here to subvert Byron Bay with their unstable alien technology NU-rave. Rumour has it, that all chairs will be taken out of LiQUID because there’ll be no need to sit down; Aston Shuffle instead will tempt you into unimagined positions better than yoga, pilates, punk pogo and crumping combined. Q: What have the androids been up to? A: ‘We’ve been travelling a lot lately but we have been spending a lot of time in the studio too, working on getting our album together. It’s been a long process but we are getting close. We’re mixing a disc on the new 2010 Ministry Annual which comes out in a month or so, and beyond that we have just done a remix of Lost Valentinos’ next single. And of course there’s our album which will come out next year.’ Q: If you could have a comedian performing as your MC, who would you choose?

SILICON SOUL AND SLAM

www.echo.net.au

A: ‘Dave Chappelle, no question. That guy is a genius.’ The Aston Shuffle is out there, they absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are all dancing! ‘Can’t wait for the show, see you there! This is our first time in Byron, and we are super excited!’

Silicone Soul And Slam La La Land, Thursday and Friday Craig Morrison and Graeme Reedie are behind the crafty cuts of Silicone Souls’s slick house productions. Since the releases of A Soul Thing in 2000 followed by Staring into Space in 2005 and Save Our Souls 2006, the duo has constantly toured the globe. Their worldwide chartbusting single, Right On, Right On! is now regarded as a house classic. Silicone Soul’s Darkroom Dubs record label is renowned in the UK as one of the most forward thinking labels and a reliable source for house and techno music. Silicone Soul gained full international recognition in 2001 and burst onto dance music’s A-list and into the consciousness of the mainstream despite refusing

to appear on the commercial house music scene’s ‘Top Of The Pops’ (BBC1). La La Land kicks off school and uni holidays on Friday night with a double header full of club favourites. John Course and UK’s Fabric residents SLAM who are instrumental to the underground techno scenes of Glasgow and London by pushing new directions in the genre. SLAM owns record label SOMA and no doubt will throw some sonic jewels at the dance floor. Q: What has changed in house music in the last decade? A: ‘Lots more small independent labels and a shed load of new producers that are not based in the States – a very healthy time I feel.’ A: Still sticking to the underground? A: ‘I think it’s fair to say that the commercial side of dance music is something we have shied away from with our band Slam and our label Soma – it’s something we have no feeling for – we’ve always been about good music and always will be.’ Get there early to avoid long queues!

Are there smaller exhibition spaces? The Pod, in the reception area of Mullumbimby Council Chambers, measures just 70x80x80 centimetres: a white painted wood and glass display cube. Initiated by Victoria Edgar, it is now being curated by Dev Lengjel. The Pod is dedicated to 3D exhibitions. Currently on display is ‘Surfers’ by local artist Potts. This will be followed on September 24 by an installation of Suvira McDonald’s work. At 10am on that same day, The Pod will be officially opened. Eventually, Lengjel will involve local schools. ‘The pod needs to be a soap box for sculpture.’ Lengjel is calling for artists who want to be considered for exhibition in the Pod – sculpture, installations, ceramics, glass, or any variation so long as it is 3D.

(500) Days Of Summer A little disclosure to begin with: I love Zooey Deschanel. Have done since I first saw her as the guitar-strumming schoolteacher in Bridge To Terabithia. Meaning that this movie was going to have to be pretty awful for me to bag it, so it’s a bonus that it’s not. Here she is Summer, assistant to the boss of an LA greeting card company. As a gal from Michigan she does not exhibit the hard-edged worldliness of the West Coast libertines with whom we have become so familiar, which is a perfect fit for Deschanel’s uncommon blend of the seraphic and girl-next-door. Tom (Joseph

Gordon-Levitt), an architect by training but for some vague reason working as a writer of snappy messages in the same office, is besotted by Summer. In his daggy sleeveless jumpers and with a passion for the city’s overlooked masterpieces of art-deco design, he too is out of step with the crassness of current tastes – he delivers no endless stream of lewd jokes, nor does Summer get caught up on a plot-pointed scramble to the wedding altar. Stylistically, this is a refreshingly different romantic comedy that, notwithstanding Tom’s two goofball mates’ mandatory nod to it, shies away from the Apatow/Rogen/ Sandler axis of vulgarity. It begins with a gratuitous and annoyingly stentorian voiceover forewarning us that this is a story about love’s trials, as Summer dumps Tom and we set off on a retrospective examination of the rise and fall of the couple’s relationship. The random chronology, jumping from Day 186 to Day

eyebrows and stubbled, square jaw inescapably prompted the idea, but there is also the tenacity with which he clings to the house. Lots of fun with a lofty morality. ~ John Campbell

just a gap-toothed tomboy and he a devoted follower of the famous adventurer Charles Muntz (voiced by the suitably patrician Christopher Plummer), whose exploits in the steamy jungles of South America little Carl followed on the big screen – the opening B/W Newsreel is one of warm nostalgia for the adults in the audience. Carl and Ellie vowed to follow in Muntz’s footsteps, but one thing and another intervened and they never did get to fulfill their dreams of derring-do in exotic places. All of this is told with brilliant economy and coloured by a heart-tugging, recurring musical theme in the opening sequence. We arrive at the present day and Carl, now 78, is a grump whose home is being surrounded by skyscrapers. At odds with all around him, Carl unleashes thousands of balloons that lift the house from its foundations and carry it towards Paradise Falls in distant Peru, where he will encounter the aged Muntz and his (beautifully drawn) dogs. Accidentally joining Carl on the magical mystery tour is Russell, a dumpy Junior Wilderness Explorer who wants to earn the last badge he needs to join the seniors’ ranks by doing something to assist the elderly. It goes without saying that Carl won’t have a bar of Russell and it’s easy to guess that, in adversity, they will forge a lasting bond. The animation is fabulous and, unusually, there are a lot of close-ups, especially of Carl – it’s a camera angle rarely employed in cartoons, but it’s put to good effect by co-directors Pete Docter and Bob Petersen, for it makes the character more human. Edward Asner’s voicing is cantankerous, but, feeling with Carl his acute sense of loss and knowing that this is the last throw of the dice for him, you can’t help but be on-side with the coot. And, once it had wormed its way in there, I could not get out of my mind the connection between Carl and Spencer Tracy in The Old Man And The Sea. The white hair and

44, then back to 205 and all over the place, can test your patience, with the presentation of scattered, often unrelated episodes risking this viewer’s disengagement from the otherwise naive intimacy that the pair so effortlessly create. The try-hard set-ups range from the clunky to the ebullient – a drawn out routine at an Ikea outlet, in which Tom and Summer pretend to be housemakers choosing furnishings, is hopeless, but an outbreak of song-and-dance with passers-by in a park is a joy. More grown-up and naturalistic than the in your face approach, it arrives at a piquancy which is identifiable to all – you really do feel for Tom – but then brings that bittersweet moment undone with a concluding scene that is altogether too twee for its own good. And, as far as I’m concerned, Zooey, regardless of the character she is meant to be playing, will never convince me that she is a big fan of the Smiths. ~ John Campbell

District 9 is a sci-fi thriller from director Neill Blomkamp. The premise is that 20 years ago, a huge spaceship arrived in the sky over Johannesburg and stayed there, hovering ominously over the city. Raiding parties discovered the craft contained a crew of malnourished aliens, who they referred to, derogatively,

as prawns because of their vaguely crustacean appearance. These aliens were placed in a Soweto-like ghetto known as District 9 and they’re still there, speaking their own language (with English subtitles) and annoying the locals, who want to get rid of them. In a rather heavy-handed reference to the old days of apartheid, street signs in the city bluntly proclaim: ’Humans Only’. This is an accomplished, fascinating hybrid of a film, an anti-Hollywood movie which incorporates a great deal of contemporary big-budget special effects. ~ Lounge Cinema

According to a Science Daily news report back in 2007, ‘rice is not, contrary to popular belief, an aquatic plant and the main reason it is submerged in water is for controlling weeds.’ Frank Boyle of Nimbin Pecans proves the point with his brown rice. ‘Dry land rice’ is the name given to rice which is grown without irrigation – and on the first of December last year Frank put in a very small plot of precisely that among his pecans and his soy beans. It was, he tells me, an experiment – and nothing prepared him for its success both in terms of harvest and market response. Dry land rice can be grown in areas whose natural rainfall is considerable, although when I ask Frank if the experiment had come with risks he replies ‘that’s just farming: you have to be prepared to take a risk.’ Frank’s family has been farming in the area for a hundred years; he himself has been growing his pecans for the last twenty. And it’s not exactly Nimbin either – he has 300 acres at Goolmangar, halfway between Nimbin and Lismore. Despite those inevitable risks, Frank explains that the cost of not having the infrastructure of irrigation far outweighs their likelihood anyway, irrigation being the expensive operation it is. He planted his brown rice

in December and by April it was ready to be harvested. He was, he tells me, ‘happy with it’ – the sort of wry laconic understatement so beautifully typical of country Australians. And perhaps it is precisely that relaxed and detached attitude which accounts for the subsequent triumph. ‘I never counted on the demand for the rice,’ he says, surprised at the passion for buying local he witnesses week after week at the Byron Farmers’ Market. Everything apparently ‘just fell into

the processing continues, which removes the rest of the husk and the germ; it may then be buffed with glucose or talc powder to turn it into polished rice. And while this improves its keeping qualities it also robs the rice of its nutritional value. In fact, the conversion of brown into white rice destroys 67% of its Vitamin B3, 80% of Vitamin B1, 90% of Vitamin B6, half its manganese and phosphorus, 60% of its iron and all of the dietary fibre and essential fatty acids. Not only that, but brown rice has a gorgeous chewy nuttiness to it quite absent in white rice. Yes, it has a shorter shelf life – its natural oils render it rancid if kept too long – and yes it seems to take forever to cook (between 35 to 45 minutes, generally). But those surely represent the extent of its shortcomings when you consider flavour place beautifully’: because of the relatively small and texture. The two weeks amount he grew he could my parents went to Paris store it himself; he then met my sister and I, dizzy with someone who could process the unaccustomed luxury of it for him; the crop ‘fits really fending for ourselves, cooked well with the pecans – same up glorious pan-fulls night harvest time and same selling after night of the same brown time.’ Now he sells about 80 rice stir-fry, never once tiring kilos of his brown rice a week, of it.

Shores Sharks victorious over Panthers

Main Arm squashes Geckos

The Shores United grade 14 Sharks celebrated their 14 game unbeaten run by winning the Football Grand Final Champions cup over local derby rivals the Byron Bay Panthers on Saturday. It was another close game just like their recent semifinal clash, which at times could have gone either way. It took a while for the nerves to settle on both sides while they tested each other’s defences. Half way through the first half Shaun Patten was able to get through the Panthers de-

fence and get a pass across goal to Carl Foreman. Carl was able to tap it past the keeper to put the Sharks in the lead. Both teams battled hard and not long before the break the Panthers made a beautiful attacking run and had several players unmarked. They took a shot in the top left corner, the keeper was beaten and had it not been for Jonah Owens kicking the ball off the line, the score would have been level. The Sharks returned the attack however Foreman was brought

down just outside the Panthers penalty area and had to be carried off with a serious knee injury. Soon after the break a set play corner kick by Sharks’ Scott Baber found Dan Carrol’s head and he knocked it in the back of the net to double the score, to the cheers of huge Shores United crowd. At the 45 minute mark the Byron Panthers made a fast break up the left flank and youngster Tai Bui unleashed a thunderbolt shot into the

Sharks net, that any men’s Premier League striker would be proud of. The goal gave Byron a new lease of life and they were unlucky just 5 minutes from full time when Sharks keeper Ollie Smithlee had to use all his skill with a brilliant save to stop another Panthers Thunderbolt. The Sharks took possession of the ball in the tense last few minutes till the final whistle. Three of the seven competitive teams at the small Shores United club won their way through to the semi final playoffs this season. The grade 13 all girls Redbacks fought out their Grand Final against Alstonville on Sunday. It was a tense, spirited and evenly matched game with the ball see-sawing from one end to the other. Talented Redbacks striker Stephie Foreman was unlucky on several occasions and keeper Sharni Montgomery made several brilliant saves to keep Alstonville scoreless. However Alstonville managed to score a lucky goal with only 3 minutes to go, and hung on to take the win 1-0. The Sharks and the Redbacks will be testing their skills in a fortnight against teams from all over Australia, at Gold Coast Cup. The teams are looking for spnosors – for more information call Coach Marc Patten on 0405 619 076.

Many men harbour unfulfilled sporting fantasies, and if they don’t get the chance to feed their undernourished inner champion the resulting problems can wreak havoc in their normal lives. Nick Shand understood this, and the social cricket series played in his name is still turning potentially bad men into ‘bradmen’. Sunday’s action saw the reformatted Geckos up against Main Arm, six time winners and the team that proves the adage by somehow being much better than its parts. With the wind snaking across Lomath Oval, Greg of the Arm sent the Geckos in to bat. Evergreen* new ball pairing Baz and Brian swung it around like an Iggy Pop encore early on but talented Trent and solid Seymour soon had the Geckos scoring like backpackers in an Amsterdam cafe. Trent cruised into an untroubled retirement like a Rose Bay heiress, and then Greg-O, like a crazed junkie, started cracking it all over the park. Kyle (27), Simon and Greg were the best of the bowlers, but Kyle’s wickets and Greg-O’s retirement only brought back in the rampant Trent (57no), who like an irate dominatrix spanked it round with ruthless efficiency. Set 117 to win at nearly 5 an over Simon and Glen saw off the new ball and played with

more good sense than you would credit either of them with. Baz joined Simon and slowly but surely began to termite the total. Seymour and Peter Wynne-Moylan had success but neither could stop Simon (30no), who was steadier than a pistol shooter on beta-blockers. Kyle copped a wicked knuckleball from Sean which left barnstorming Brian and Wearnie, Main Arm’s answer to Warnie, in for the final dash. The plucky plumber pranced between the wickets like a startled gazelle but his triumphant return to cricket was thwarted when perennial bogeyman Methuselah Mick scattered his stumps. The Geckos couldn’t find a way to stop Brian however, who waved the bat around like a Queensland insulation contractor with a fat subsidy. The Main Arm veteran spoiled everyone’s afternoon but his own by bashing up 30 and stealing the game in the second last over. With three teams on two wins the famous invisible rulebook was gravely consulted, an after the usual controversy it was decided that the Left Bankers qualify in the number one spot, making next week’s first semi an enticing match up between Byron’s finest floggers, the FullTossers, and the annoyingly effective Main Armers. *Known as evergreen for their habit of turning up to the match looking quite sick.

Community backs Edyn

Brunswick Heads and the local community have pulled together to raise funds for 13 year old Eydn Fawcett, who is being treated for a tumour on the brain. A raffle was put together by Steve Foreman after teaching Edyn to surf in the early stages of her treatment. Steve also arranged for her to meet Women’s World Surfing Champion Layne Beachley. The raffle of surfing-related items and memorabilia boasts a main prize being a generously donated and signed Mick Fanning surfboard. Other donations include surfing memo-

rabilia from Pritarmo Adhernt (ASP world tour judge) and Layne Beachley. Layne donated a signed framed and mounted ‘Beachley Classic’ contest vest which was purchased by Craig Watson and is now on display at the Courthouse Hotel Mullum. The raffle’s final day will be at the Hotel Brunswick next Sunday between 2-4pm. Anyone purchasing tickets on the day will go into a separate draw of world tour surfing memoribilia and surf videos. For any further enquiries or to buy tickets phone Steve Foreman on 6685 1855. www.echo.net.au

Theresa wins discus silver Athlete Theresa Graham was twice chuffed when she won a silver medal earlier this month at the Combined High Schools Athletics event in Sydney and was presented with her award by state premier Nathan Rees at the event at Olympic Stadium at Homebush. The year 10 Mullum High student also competed in the long jump, javelin and shot put and was pleased to throw a 14.9 metre second place distance in the Athletes With Disabilities discus event. Theresa trains two days a week and has recently started working with Jim Stammers to hone her skills and develop her technique and fitness. Theresa had a great time competing in the event and has solid future aspirations in sport. ‘I would like to pursue athletics as far as I can,’ said Theresa during a break from her training session with Jim on the weekend. ‘I am looking forward to seeing where it takes me.’ A last minute entry in the event, Theresa received some sponsorship from the Mullumbimby RSL to get her to

Mullum v Mullum in a friendly but hard fought game between the Giants and the Coctails. The first quarter was evenly matched with both sides missing several opportunities at goal and taking a while to settle nerves and get into the game, but going into the second term it was clear that the Coctails had that little bit extra and they began to blow out their lead. By the end of the third quarter the score was 23-15 in favour of the Cocktails. The Giants kept the pressure on and both teams scored only 5 goals in the final quarter, but in the end they ran out of legs against the superior team on the day – the final score in favour of the Cocktails 28-20. Best for the Giants were Teaghan Nelson in centre, wing defence Bonnie Williams and wing attack Brooke Hansford. The Coctails were a team of champions; Molly Hopkins, Bernie Browning, Jas Condon, Leonie Turner-Mann, Stephanie Browning, Kasey Pitt, Diona Irby and player of the match Hayley Walker, goal attack for the Coctails.

Byron Bay

The Mullumbimby Little Athletics Club is having it’s signon days for the 2009-2010 season are this Friday and October 2 from 3.30 to 5pm at the Mullumbimby Rec Grounds. Events and fun activities for ages 5-16 years will be held Friday afternoons with the official opening of the season on Friday, October 23. With a canteen providing healthy options, aspiring athletes or anyone wanting to keep fit and have fun is welcome. Phone Martine on 6684 3933 or Jim on 6680 2071.

The BBLA season kick starts this Friday night at the rec ground from 5.30pm. In an effort to help the kids learn even more skills, we have enlisted the help of Tim Knight, one of the champions to come out of the club in previous years. Tim will assist the kids with a combination of technical skills, motivation and mentoring. We are very excited to have him back, as many of the kids who were juniors when he was there look up to him and we feel kids will relate to someone closer to their age and whose name is still there as a holder of several records with the club.

CANCER: If you have criticisms to make this week, sandwich them between compliments and don’t forget to acknowledge whatever others do on your behalf. If offers come your way do what you do best, think laterally – can you perhaps negotiate better terms?

TAURUS: This propitious period cuts some of the invisible strings tying you to the way things were, and as you keep getting rid of what you don’t need, more of what you want starts appearing – especially with Venus in a compatible earth sign this week.

LEO: Even though this week’s audience might be inclined to point out certain slips in your magnificence, do your best to convince others to get over themselves and if not enjoy what’s happening in their life, at least start looking for positive new opportunities on the flipside of present seismic shakeups.

GEMINI: Risking valuable resources on a promise isn’t recommended this week – wait till the end of the month when influential allies will be on your side and better deals available. This week wants you listening carefully to secret advice from your inner house of intuition.

LIBRA: Maintain your buoyancy during this week of critical complaints by offering relentlessly positive alternatives for every negative you hear. That way if others don’t agree with your opinions at least they’ll go somewhere else to whinge. And leave you in peace. SCORPIO: Watch your energy emissions during midweek Scorpio moon– even if it’s justified, irritability is likely to have people exiting your orbit. That said, this week’s upside brings plenty of motivation, determination and staying power to ditch bad habits, unhealthy attachments and unproductive distractions. SAGITTARIUS: Setting yourself small, step by step, achievable, quantifiable goals will help stay in control of your response to this week’s personal stresses, work concerns or financial pressures.

PISCES: With more Venus energy in the planetary picture your pleasure in beautiful things increases, so remember one of the major attributes of beauty is ease. None of us have all the answers, but you’re more likely to find some this week by asking the right questions.

scores: 1.Aronian (Arm) 4.5/6; =2.Grischuk (Rus), Karjakin (Rus) 3; 4.Shirov (Spa) 1.5. ■ By winning the Blayney Open last weekend, 14-year-old Emma Guo became the youngest female player ever to win an Australian Grand Prix tournament.

Blayney 2009 White: E Guo Black: W East Opening: London System 1.d4 Nf6 2.Nf3 g6 3.Bf4 Bg7 4.e3 d6 5.c3 Rather peaceful. 5.c4 is a favourite of Australian GM Darryl Johansen 5...0-0 6.Bd3 Nbd7 7.Nbd2 Nh5 8.Bg3 Again very obliging. 8.Bg5 makes it less convenient for Black to exchange the bishop. 8...Re8 9.0-0 Nxg3 10.hxg3 e5 11.Qb3! Nf6 Natural, but 11…Nb6 was safer. 12.dxe5 dxe5 13.Bc4 Re7 14.Rad1 Qe8 15.Ng5 h6?! Black starts to crack under the pressure. After 15...e4! Black should be fine. 16.Nge4 c6?

This is what happens when councils are serious about compliance. Since July last year, Brisbane City Council has inspected more than 1,000 homes and units, issuing about 180 notices for non-compliance.
