Schoolies Red Frogs hop into town Story & photo Victoria Cosford

Red Frogs came to Byron Bay recently to talk to school-leavers about the annual phenomenon known as Schoolies.

A support network for not only Year 12s but also university students, the Red Frogs concept grew out of a recognition 12 years ago by a Brisbane youth worker called Andy Gourley that schoolies needed to be looked after in a structured way. He went on to establish this volunteer-based organisation which now goes out to 17 locations around Australia presenting information sessions on how to survive the Schoolies fortnight.

With increasing numbers of young people choosing Byron Bay as their destination, there will be 50 Red Frogs on hand this year. At Byron Bay High School a small representation was there to conduct a preliminary information session, taking the form of several short videos and a talk by security guard/Red Frog Brad Willcockson. Brad, a natural comic, had the hall in his thrall as he spun anecdotes, told jokes, asked questions and explained the service offered by Red Frogs â&#x20AC;&#x201C; named for the kilos of Allenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s red frogs the crew hands out as part of this service.

How to survive Schoolies was the theme. Brad discussed the various issues liable to surface: drinking and drugtaking, drink-spiking, sex and STDs (apparently over 500 unwanted pregnancies come out of Schoolies each year â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only what is reported), violence and vomiting, depression and suicide.

He spoke about the Red Frog crews on hand all day with a 24hour hotline; their assistance in helping clean up hotel rooms and accompany people home (the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Walk-Homesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;); the ChillOut tents set up to provide ongoing water supplies; the pancakes they will cook whenever sustenance is required.

National Schoolies coordina-

National Schoolies coordinator Amanda Turnbull, volunteer Katie Tait, Brad Willcockson and volunteer Mark Perkins.

tor Amanda Turnbull, involved with the organisation for ten years, told The Echo that the general age of the volunteers is between 19 and 22 and that they are either youth workers or just young people who know and understand youth culture. She spoke about their role in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;basically having a sober presence amongst drunk kids, someone whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got a brainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, and how â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;you want Red Frogs amongst a group of young people to minimise harm.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Hotels, she went on to say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;are our core business.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Red Frogs act as a referral service as opposed to a medical service, building confidence amongst the teenagers, providing â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;diversionary activitiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; (â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve become really good at jumping up and down on a stageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, she laughed). Over the 14 days the Red Frogs can expect up to 5,900 calls on their hotline 1300 557 12).

Nicqui Yazdi, who heads up the Byron Underage Drinking and Drug Initiative (BUDDI) had met Amanda at the 2009 National School Leaversâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Conference held in Lorne, Victoria, in early September. She told The Echo that â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;the Frogs really are a great crew [and] I am so grateful for their assistance

with trying to set up a safety response here in Byron Bay.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Nicqui is attempting to establish Byronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own volunteer group. She will be in charge of a 24-hour hub located in the

Main Beach park for the duration of Schoolies and is seeking volunteers.

Woolies case begins in the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;hood Story & photo Lou Beaumont

The case of Woolworths v Byron Shire Council in the Land and Environment Court began last Monday September 28 at 9:30am. Court officials and representatives from Woolworths and Byron Shire Council met a divided crowd at the proposed Woolworths site on Station Street, Mullumbimby.

Members of the Mullumbimby Community Action Network and supporters, with placards raised high, stood opposite a gathering, made up mostly of Mallams employees, with proWoolies placards.

After obtaining development consent from the Minister of Planning for the supermarket at Station Street, Woolworths was required to obtain, as part of that consent, a s68 approval, under the Local Government Act, 1993, to install and operate the onsite sewage management system. Council refused this application because Woolworths had failed to demonstrate that appropriate arrangements could be made for managing their onsite sewage. Woolworths, under the company name Fabcot Pty Ltd, is now challenging that decision in the Land and Environment Court.

Commissioner Hussey, presiding over the court case, and Tim Robertson, barrister for Byron Shire Council, and other court officials, were there to inspect the site and have the pro-

Scott said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;My concern is Woolworths is overriding our local Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assessment of the onsite system that they deemed inadequate on the basis of threats to public health.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

posed sewage system explained to them by a host of engineering experts.

Prior to commencement of court proceedings, Robertson introduced the court officials and outlined the schedule of the court. He requested that evidence read be limited to relevant information only.

Robertson explained, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We are at the second stage of the sewage management system application. Issues related to planning decisions, such as traffic, are not relevant considerations for the court at this time.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Robertson added that if objections to the original development application were heard as part of court proceedings they may indeed jeopardise the case against the sewage system, thus he advised that speakers â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;confine themselves to material mattersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

The court then heard evidence from three locals objecting to the proposed system, Gary Scott, Duncan Dey and Deborah Lilly.

As part of his evidence, Gary Scott said the Preliminary Management Plan, that was

submitted to the court by those proposing the sewage system only last Friday, and to Scott on Sunday, was â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;a jokeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. He objected to the content and to the fact that it was made available so late in proceedings. Barrister for Council, Tim Robertson, also questioned the late admission of the document, saying Council believed â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;it should have been submitted as part of the initial application months agoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

The case will continue over the next three days in the courthouse in Ballina.

Rasta revs up for the big paddle Story & photo Lou Beaumont

Humpback whales and their calves are currently migrating down our east coast, a journey as majestic to witness as their destination is heartbreaking to imagine. The icy Southern Ocean, one of their ancient territories, holds the modern threat of Japanese whaling fleets. As unfathomable as it is that they, and other cetaceans, are still facing this reality, it is a reality nonetheless, and one that professional surfer and environmental campaigner Dave Rastovich, and friends, is trying to change.

For Rastovich, challenging his physicality and standing up for his cetaceous brethren is part of daily life, but even for him this next mission will be epic. On Thursday October 1, ‘Rasta’ and a small crew will embark on a month long ocean kayak mission called Transparentsea. Paddling out from Byron’s Main Beach, the five kayakers will join the whales and paddle alongside them, assisted only by wind and waves, until they reach Bondi Beach, around November 5.

Ocean issues Transparentsea aims to raise awareness not only of the plight of the whales but of other urgent environmental issues threatening ocean environments.

‘Rasta’ will be accompanied by good friends, Surfers for Cetaceans cofounder Chris Del Moro (Los Angeles), international surf photographer Hilton Dawe and musician Will Conner (both Byron locals), and a roster of other passionate paddlers in the fifth kayak. Paddling champion Jamie Mitchell, professional surfer Matt Hoy, and surf commentator Adam Blakey are all scheduled to paddle in the fifth craft.

The paddlers will be highlighting the effects of the commercial fishing industry on marine mammals and fish stocks; agricultural, domestic, industrial and acoustic pollution; and shark nets and their

damaging effect on shark and other marine species populations. The paddlers will also remove marine debris from the coastal waters and beaches.

Rastovich told The Echo, ‘We know that 80% of marine rubbish ends up in the northern corners of beaches due to the currents, so that is where we will be setting up camp each night on the beaches down the coast. We will record what kind of rubbish we collect so it can be analysed by the Surfrider Foundation. They can then better ascertain the sources of our marine garbage, whether from fishing, food packaging or other.’

Sea Shepherd’s ship the Steve Irwin will be making its way from Brisbane to Sydney where it will promote its task of protecting the whales from the Japanese fleets this Summer.

The Transparentsea crew will be paddling in parallel to the looming black vessel and its crew for part of their journey.

From Sydney, the Steve Irwin will steam on to Perth where they will launch their Southern Ocean campaign before rejoining the humpbacks. For the paddlers, the journey ends in Sydney, but the story is to inspire the public into action through footage taken along the way.

Rastovich said, ‘Our intentions are that after 36 days and 700 kilometres we’ll have helped educate a lot of people on the beauty and majesty of the whales, plus the impact we all have on what is such an amazing stretch of coastline and in what ways we might all implement positive change.’

Not everyone is as fit or as passionate to undertake such

a paddle, but there is much we can do as individuals to lend support. Visit www.transparentseavoyage.com to follow their poetic journey and see off the crew near the Byron Bay Surf Club at 9am on Thursday, October 1.

Foster public awareness – the more who follow this and related sites, and the more who write to Prime Minister Kevin Rudd and Peter Garrett MP personally asking them to send support to the Southern Ocean, the more hope we have of saving our marine friends and their environment.

Rastovich told The Echo that ‘the single most annoyance for politicians was having to read hundreds of unique letters of protest’ – so put pen to paper. Follow the links on the Transparentsea site for related websites.

Little Yarra comes to Byron Shire The Little Yarra Ensemble from the Little Yarra Steiner School in the Yarra Valley is participating in two days of workshops with students from Cape Byron Steiner School, Shearwater and Samford Valley Steiner School. World music, African dance and drums, singing, guitar, improvisation are some of the workshops that are on offer.

These workshops will culminate in a concert on Friday night at the Cape Byron Steiner School. The Little Yarra Ensemble will perform along with The Ensemble Della Mar from Cape Byron Steiner School, as well as a 50 person combined ensemble and choirs, dancers, advanced chamber groups and a Celtic ensemble.

‘This will be a concert not

to be missed by all music lovers,’ say organisers. ‘This is the perfect opportunity for your children to see children really enjoying music-making together.’

Tickets are available at Cape Byron Steiner School or Shearwater office. Refreshments will be available in the interval.

Please bring a cushion to sit on in the amphitheatre.

Byron Shire Council’s insurers don’t want it or its councillors to participate in a coastal forum in case it prejudices a court case with a Belongil landowner. Meanwhile the Belongil Progress Association (BPA) has blamed the cancellation of a proposed meeting on green councillors.

In a letter last Friday to the BPA, Council’s general manager Graeme Faulkner noted that because of the Land and Environment Court case, ‘Council has been requested by its insurers to defer participation in any forum that has the potential to prejudice these proceedings from the insurer’s and Council’s perspectives.

‘Accordingly, Council and staff are unable to participate in such a meeting at this time; although it is recognised that individual Councillors may wish

<echowebsection=Local News>

to exercise their rights beyond the insurer’s request.’

Mr Faulkner also advised BPA that a report on Council’s draft Coastal Zone Draft Management Plan is likely to come to a meeting on October 8, ‘and management is hopeful that Council may be in a position to release the draft plan for public exhibition in the near future with a view to engaging in informed discussion’.

The BPA said in a press release that representatives from the Department of Lands as well as the Department of Planning had accepted invitations to attend the meeting ‘which was to have been an open public forum on coastline management in Byron Shire’.

In related news Mr Faulkner said community concerns raised in the media that the current coastal erosion case before the Land and Environment Court is costing rate-

payers millions of dollars are incorrect.

‘In accordance with its obligations under the Local Government Act, Council holds insurance cover for claims made against it,’ Mr Faulkner said. ‘That cover extends to the current case against Council in the Land and Environment Court.’

Mr Faulkner said that Council’s insurers have indemnified the Council for the costs associated with current legal action effective from June 29 this year.

In the September edition of Cr Ross Tucker’s newsletter The Saturday Star, an unsigned article alleges the Coastal Zone Management Plan ‘has had a gestation period of 13 years and cost millions of ratepayer and taxpayer dollars. The question that needs to be asked is precisiely how many and for what?’

Star dancer to field questions Local film industry group Screenworks is presenting the opening night screening of Mao’s Last Dancer with international star dancer and the film’s lead actor Chi Cao at the Dendy Byron Bay at 6.30pm on October 1. Chi, who plays the role of the main character Li Cunxin, will talk about his experiences working on the film and answer questions from the audience.

Based on the best selling autobiography by Li Cunxin and directed by Bruce Beresford, Mao’s Last Dancer is the story of a small boy’s extraordinary journey from growing up in poverty in China to international stardom.

‘When I first read the script I thought we’d never find anyone to play Li,’ said Bruce Beres-

‘There are a lot of similarities with my life and Li’s life, especially in terms of our career,’ said Chi. ‘We trained at the same school, the Beijing Dance

An art exhibition to raise funds for impoverished Cambodian children will be held at the Byron Entertainment Centre on Saturday October 3. The event, showcasing the artwork of these children alongside a large painted canvas by children at Byron Bay Preschool, has been organised by Felix Brooks Church, General Manager of the Cambodian Children’s Painting Project which he is touring across Australia with the aim of securing money to secure the project’s future.

She spent four ‘I always wanted to do volunmonths last year in Cambodia tary work,’ she told The Echo, so when her sister and brotherin-law returned from a trip to Cambodia and told her about a school of underprivileged children she decided to take twelve months’ leave without pay and head over there herself.

philia to a safer environment, donating food, toothbrushes, garbage bins.

Victoria has ‘a great interest in creativity and what it brings to children... self-esteem, awareness of the environment, language skills, boundaries...’ and despite these being ‘wild beach kids’ she ended up feeling ‘very enlightened by the amount of positive outcomes [she has seen] via so many heartfelt projects that people are putting effort into.’

There will be 200 paintings by these Cambodian children on display – small ones measuring around 20cm x 15cm – as well as some canvases and the group canvas painted by the Byron preschoolers. The latter will be auctioned on the night.

‘It’s a good opportunity’, Victoria said, ‘for our kids to support these kids.’

The evening will feature other opportunities to donate on the night, and kicks off at 6pm.

Lea Hamilton doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to hassle anyone. She looks a bit embarrassed by the attention, a bit shocked and confused, actually. But most of all she just looks very, very tired. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;When I got the call from the police I thought it was a joke, one of me mates. I said, come on, who is this? You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even sound like a real policeman.

Then he said, No, Ms Hamilton, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sorry. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re standing outside the front of your house now and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re watching it burn down. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I remember saying to the constable, Oh my God, is it the bushfires? And he said, no, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just your home.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Just your home. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a home? When something like this happens, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re quick to learn that the word is more than four letters, more than bricks or wood, even more than a place where the lives of our family and friends cross like bees around a hive.

Every single story Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s this: a pile of justunwrapped 16th birthday presents, lying on top of a favourite quilt â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a story of excitement already being spun among friends. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Johnnyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very first charcoal and ochre painting â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the one he was saving â&#x20AC;&#x201C; wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sell, despite requests â&#x20AC;&#x201C; for his little girl: one precious gift for another. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all Leaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Johnnyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meticulous artworks and the tools and the paints; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that favourite mug, tousled and loved camping gear, shoes that were worn-in just right. And you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s photos, cause itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s every single photo, every single story. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d just spoken to my son, Kurt, so I knew he was alright, and the dogs were with me. But I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get onto my daughter, Kahlia, for like, fifteen minutes. That was the longest fifteen minutes of my life.

When she finally answered the phone I just couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t talk, I had no voice, then I just burst out

Lea Hamilton and her daughter Kahlia.

A hopeful list

crying and sobbing and Kahlia thought I was maybe really sick or something and she started getting upset. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Everyone keeps saying, you know, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve still got each other. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exactly right.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always told the kids that: whatever happens, you have each other.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; You may have seen Lea and Johnny at the markets â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Johnny busking with his didj, and both of them selling their indigenous artworks.

I ask Lea what she thinks she needs. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Just about anything, really,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; she says. That probably includes sleep. If you have something from the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;anything, reallyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; list that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to offer, just call Byron College and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll grab your details. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Oh, yeah,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; she says. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;A house to rent. One thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OK with three small well-behaved dogs.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; A home. Just a small detail at the end of a short, hopeful list.

Losing everything â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Kurtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got a backpack and skateboard, so heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sorted, I reckon. Then I started thinking: geez, we all need, like underwear and stuff. And socks. I mean, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just lost everything and you realise that what you need are these little things.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been three weeks now since the fire, and she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t speak anymore of stepping into the still smoking ruins, and realising it was everything. It was the week when other fires, of a different nature swept through families in Mullum and The Channon; tragedies of loss that Lea is deeply aware of.

The owners of the house â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Johanna and Davey Dubens â&#x20AC;&#x201C; are helping out (including dog-sitting), plus working through the slow and mysterious job of reconstruction. Lea, Johnny and the kids are staying at friends houses in the Shire. The staff at Byron College, where Lea works, are organising working bees. Students at Mullum High have organised sausage sizzles and clothing drives.

She hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rested yet, though.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been Centrelink and other departments, shopping for essentials (todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s priority is an allergy-free mattress), more forms, shuttling the kids around to friends, and each day planning and checking.

The next step is a benefit, and I guess this is the long way

Full steam ahead on rails and trails ■ There are more than 3,000 kilometres of disused railway lines in NSW, some of which stopped running trains over 30 years ago.

Currently, these lines lay dormant, and have little benefit to the community. There have also been reports of the theft of tracks and sleepers in disused rail corridors.

The NSW government has proposed amendments to the Transport Amendment Act 1989 to allow these disused rail lines to be opened up for community recreational activities.

This proposal is not about opening the door to developers or putting rail lines vital to rural and regional communities at risk.

This proposal is in response to community demand. We’ve been approached by groups and individuals with ideas on alternative uses for some of the disused lines.

The most frequent request is from community organisations wanting to convert the corridors into rail trails – for bike riding, walking or horse-riding.

We’ve seen the tourism and recreational benefits rail trails bring to rural communities in Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia, and Tasmania, and we want to tap that potential for country towns in our state.

I can assure your readers that any changes to the use of disused corridors will not occur without extensive community consultation.

Stormy times

grab from the Great Artesian Basin) to ‘drown’ the radioactive tailings if the expansion goes ahead. So BHPB wants approval to dump 70million tonnes of radioactive tailings at the mine site in mounds up to 150m high spread over miles and miles of desert (the company’s EIS stats).

We would be insane as a people to let such an eventuality happen. We will have learnt nothing about ‘corporate responsibility’ from the James Hardie debacle if we let them do it. So far it looks a foregone conclusion unless people start

Boy, didn’t those dust storms kick in with vengeance last Wednesday? ABC News confirmed the red soil originated from Woomera, down the road from Roxby uranium mine SA. I couldn’t help but see the warning hand of Mother Nature about what will be in the next load of red dust from the heartland of Oz should the SA and federal governments give BHPBilliton the go-ahead to turn Olympic Dam into an open cut mine.

David Campbell

Minister for Transport Now that the NSW government has rejected (once again) the likelihood of the Casino/ Murwillumbah rail corridor being re-opened to trains but is keen on a real alternative – the creation of a rail-trail – perhaps the community should take a careful look at this possibility.

Do a little googling and note that the success of rail-trails in over 40 places around Australia where rail lines have been closed.

A steering committee (of which I am a member) set up to consider appropriate uses for the rail corridor conducted its first meeting in the Byron Shire chambers on Friday September 11. Among the group was a senior government official plus representatives from all of the other Northern Rivers shires.

Propositions from both the TOOT group and the rail-trail proponents were put forward and discussed. No conclusions were reached but a second meeting is scheduled to be held in Casino in October.

Since that first meeting, the Aboriginal Land Council has

■

been advised of these happenings and has expressed interest in the possibilities of employment for their people in the event of the creation of a railtrail. They are making their own investigations.

It is important to note that though our local MPs have promised to restore trains when or if they come into power, you can be assured if these gentlemen were given say $300 million to spend in this area and this was dissipated on a lossmaking trainline in preference to health needs, they would be hanged from the nearest tree.

Richard Kidby

Mullumbimby ■ I fully support Councillor Jan

Barham’s notice of motion to Byron Council concerning the Northern Rivers Organisation of Councils (NOROC) being asked to establish a task force to help reinstate rail services on the north coast. This was a high priority for NOROC, especially with regard to the Far North Coast Regional Strategy over the next five years.

Right now the state Labor government is about to introduce legislation into state parliament which would override the present, long established safeguards requiring special legislation by parliament before any disused rail lines are jumping up and down. Given Garrett’s approval of the expansion of Beverley uranium mine and a new uranium mine at Four Mile, SA. As a ‘team player’, Peter needs our vocal support for his own anti nuclear stance inside Rudd’s gungho uranium mining Cabinet. He needs a strong message (not just whingeing about him being a ‘sellout’) sent to him direct and via our local representative Justine Elliot that this is not on. For your kids’ sake and all species take this message on board and get on the blower, ring his office on

removed and rail corridors closed. This new legislation would allow lines statewide to be dug up and corridors sold to land hungry developers without parliamentary approval.

In 2004 the state government closed our Casino-Murwillumbah rail line without community consultation and in spite of the ever more pressing need to provide an efficient commuter and freight rail service for lower income earners and the rapidly increasing and ageing north coast community.

We live in a time when fast growing carbon pollution, caused mainly by human activities is an ever worsening problem worldwide. Within this wider context the organisation known as Trains on our Tracks or TOOT has observed a long, consistent and growing support for reinstatement of this line and TOOT also supports its short extension northward to meet the heavy rail line under construction from Robina to the border in Queensland.

At this crucial time joint actions are needed by all who support a reinstated train service before our short-sighted state Labor government allows the rapid selloff of this and other valuable rail corridors statewide.

since all other issues were dealt with during the planning process of Development Consent and Section 96 Variation. Concerns raised during the public review process were responded to by Planning NSW, although its response in many instances was unsatisfactory. The Section 68 process for the sewage to be generated by the development gave Council the power to stop the development as designed as the on-site system proposed was seen to be totally unsatisfactory.

John Weiley â&#x2013; I

have no problem with suburban life as long as it is not made compulsory â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which is what appears to be happening.

The Rural Settlement Strategy correctly identified the real anachronism â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the 60 acre dairy block with its bald paddocks relieved only by the proliferating weeds. Too small for commercialised farming, too big for market gardening, too expensive for one family to regenerate.

What it got wrong was the prescription of unwanted, impossibly expensive suburban enclaves as the solution. The claims about high energy costs etc are just as anachronistic â&#x20AC;&#x201C; our road cost ratepayers nothing at all, I and my neighbours paid for it, and our roofs sparkle with solar. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll bet our energy bills are a fraction of many a V8 driven plasma-screened leaf-blowing air-conditioned insulation-free suburban triple fronted brick veneer suburb.

And â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to add injury to insult â&#x20AC;&#x201C; we pay more than our fair share of rates, getting no credit for regeneration while bald acre operators are credited for

Broken Head â&#x2013; In her article of last week, Margaret Clarke draws attention to our failure to use land in the most appropriate manner for community needs. She highlights changes to more labour intensive agriculture, lack of nearby help for ageing farmers, the need for more labour generally to use and care for our land to best advantage and suggests, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;there are planning solutions to these issuesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. This is very improbable while we have a tax system which encourages land speculation â&#x20AC;&#x201C; owning land and not using it fully while the price rises because of community developments â&#x20AC;&#x201C; planning will remain largely ineffectual, and a honeypot for the drones of corruption.

Your extract from ABC TVâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Stateline on the facing page shows the parlous and corrosive state of current NSW planning laws.

Margaretâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s calls for affordable housing overlook that what is really needed is affordable access to land. How many worthwhile ventures are stifled

Council is to be thanked for standing up to Woolworths and saying no. It now goes to the Land and Environment Court and who knows what the final outcome will be.

The issue of the impact on flooding resulting from the changes made by Woolworths to the design was dealt with under the Section 96 Variation.

Unfortunately there was an error in one of the engineering reports that recommended how the impact on flooding could be prevented. There are

no measures that I can dream up that will negate the effects of the raised car park on the increase in flood levels and velocities that will otherwise occur. I have written to the Planning Minister about this and the initial response glossed over the issue of an error in the Section 96 documentation. I have sent a second letter stating that an error found after an approval has been granted should still be investigated. If a severe flood should occur and it was then proved that the Wool-

by our present system of land access be they the provision of shelter and accommodation, food production, independent schools, study centres etc? All must clear the hurdle of large capital expenditure before leaving the starting line.

In the 1800s some enlightened parishes in the UK gave paupers a piece of land and a cow so they could support their family as being a less costly and a better social solution than adding them to the Parishâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Poor Relief List. Land access was a very hot topic then â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as it should be now!

In short, until we have a taxation system which raises revenue from what we take from the community â&#x20AC;&#x201C; use of resources like land, water, radio waves, minerals â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and reduces the burden on what we give to the community by means of our labour, creativity and expertise, eg start to eliminate income tax, GST, payroll tax, stamp duties and other taxes on the local economy, planning will continue to be the source of riches for the speculators and frustration and disappointments for the rest of us.

Think land access â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it is the basis of all human activity.

Colin Cook

Bangalow worths development made the flooding worse, then the state government will have to accept responsibility.

I will continue with my dialogue with NSW Planning.

Concerned residents should raise this matter with Byron Shire Councillors and with NSW Planning.

â&#x2013; I hope Tony Campbell (Letters, September 22) does a better job reading this letter than he did my last one. The point of my letter was to propose an alternative way of providing â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;affordable housingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in the Shire.

Rather than â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Council pushing tiny 600 square metre blocks for $350,000+â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I advocated allowing â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;rural landholders to sell suitable two hectare portions of their property for $350,000, $300,000, even $200,000â&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

Thereby making house blocks and acreage living more affordable. John Weileyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s suggestion to allow acreage holders â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;to carve off a block (to sell) at way below developer pricesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is equally clear. How Tony construed this as arguing that I think that only people who can afford $800,000 properties are â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;rightful residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is beyond me. It is the opposite.

Malcolm Price makes the same error. Allowing rural acreage owners to carve off portions of their land (1, 2, 3, 5 hectare whatever) can only lower land prices in this area.

If you want to live in a town or a subdivision, I support your lifestyle choice but please donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lecture me when I qualified my proposal with â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;acreage living may not be for everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

A cry for help from the urban jungle Dear Mandy, Your recent savaging of Byron (Soapbox, September 15) over our new shops and franchises is an indication itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time for you to come home. After months of stagnating in Mullum youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve lost touch with the real world that is Byron. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve morphed into a Mullumbimbo. Nothing progresses there, Mandy. Woolies couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t score a new store in Mullum, even with a DA that stated its shit didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stink.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m also sensing driver withdrawal. Because the authorities donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want your lead foot near the go-pedal of a car, I reckon youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gotten your thong in a knot (assuming you still bother with one) over our brand

new Caltex petrol shop. I can see you on the bus as it passes our latest acquisition, grieving over the futility of your wad of Woolies/Caltex discount fuel dockets. Sell them to the bus driver, it will help pay for your medication.

Yes, the new Byron is vastly different from the one of your early days, but surely Witchery is a small step up from whaling and Supre no worse than sandmining. The under $10 feed about which you rave was probably whale meat. At a glance, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d say you need to sever an etheric tie to old decrepit things that have exceeded their use-by date.

Did you vote for the coalition?

Byron hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lost its soul, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s merely contemporised it. The

opportunity to make a buck at anotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expense has led to Byron capitalising on an R-soul phase. As you correctly pointed out, this is being driven by greedy landlords, opportunistic parasites who delight in sucking the life-force out of inexperienced commercial tenants. But try and extract the positives, Mandy. In a Steiner kind of way, this scum could teach your kids how to be winners in a dog eat dog world.

When the kids grow up they might then survive a day trip to the Gold Coast.

Just as there is a place in this world for greedy landlords, dog vomit, and John Howard, I believe the franchises along Jonson Street have a role to

play. With their heightened mediocrity and homogeneity they promote social inclusion, which then helps assimilate societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s misfits. Without this we could well end up a country infested with Tony Abbotts.

Byron should be applauded for this community service.

So Mandy, come back to Byron, preferably on the bus, and get down and dirty with the competition. I can see you in a franchise, something like â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Jimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Braziliansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, but do go easy with the whipper snipper. If you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t compete, establish a studio on the Belongil Spit. I hear itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a growth area for submerging artists!

manship in Mullumbimby, I am the so-called â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;bad sportsmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; who supposedly stormed off the court and drove off at high speed. I would like to set the record straight.

Yes I am upset we lost the grand final, who wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be?

But, in fact, I had 45 minutes to get to Coolangatta airport so I could fly to Sydney to attend my grandfatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s funeral. It was in no way an act of bad sportsmanship. I congratulated the other Mullum team for winning. So, I am strongly advising you to get the story correct before sending in false articles.

I was deeply offended by your allegations and recommend you get your facts straight before you hurt anyone else! My team did in fact know I had to leave ASAP.

Linknet has been very good to us as our server, enabling us to teach our people how to keep in touch with their families.

The art expo has had twelve months to sort out how they could use eftpos or any other way of payment for their sales.

Seniors are hungry for knowledge as the world moves on and they feel that they will get left behind if they cannot keep up. Why is it when seniors get something they really enjoy someone comes along thinking they have the right to use it especially when we are paying for it?

nce upon a time there was these three career crims see, Shorty, Lefty and Marty. They decide that this time theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to do things right. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re sick of going to gaol and they reckon that white collar crime is the go â&#x20AC;&#x201C; much more profitable, much less risk. They sign a contract which assigns each of them, clause by clause, a defined role in a bank robbery.

This robbery will be the last one before they go upmarket (maybe set up as development lobbyists, something like that).

Anyway, later as Lefty and Shorty charge out of the bank carrying the loot they are pissed off to see that Marty, the driver, has obviously panicked and driven off without them. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll sue the bastard,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; screams Shorty.

You can imagine how Shortyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lawsuit would go down in a court of law! Obviously you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enter into a contract to do something illegal. If State Parliament has said â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do this â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t purport to create a personal exception by drawing up a contract.

Your local Council staff are well aware of this principle.

Sometimes, for example, they send out letters to rural landholders telling them â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hey, this cabin youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re leasing out is not legal, therefore the lease is not valid and therefore your tenant is entitled to get his money back.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; This is essentially a sneaky threat designed to put pressure on the landowner to get rid of the illegal cabin, but technically itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s correct as to the validity, if not the refund part.

Unfortunately Council staff donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always apply this principle in an even-handed way. Recently, for example, a Wilsons Creek landowner approached Council with a contract which stipulated that Council allow two elderly people to live in a certain illegal dwelling until they die of old age. Ray Darney, Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s planning chief, should have told them â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Sorry, but your cabin hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t met the criteria and according to State law itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s illegal. Signing a contract with you wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change that, it would only give you a false sense of security and maybe later youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d sue us over it.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; But Mr Darney didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do that.

Instead he put that contract before the elected councillors and said: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I support this and I recommend you vote for it.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bother to give them any legal advice, even though this had never been done before.

Okay, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve set the scene for what this article is really all about: is holiday letting actually legal? If not, what the hell was Council thinking when it proposed a scheme where holiday letting would be legit in some places, for some people, but others not? Clearly Council has no power to permit what State law has decreed to be illegal.

holiday letting is certainly and definitively illegal. Accordingly those who routinely rent out to holiday letters are operating well outside the law and making a monkey of the zonings.

But if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s illegal, why hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the Department come out and said so? Well, all good bureaucrats are loathe to upset vested interests, particularly when you have a State Labor Party that is dependent on developer â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;contributionsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not silly enough to come out and say â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;holiday letting is legalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; which would be a lie, so they use the kind of evasive fudge Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just described, probably on the ad-

Most holiday letting in Byron occurs in a 2(a) residential zoning, which explicitly prohibits â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;tourist facilitiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m aware of a QCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s written opinion that this is one of the zonings where holiday letting is certainly and definitively illegal. Accordingly those who routinely rent out to holiday letters are operating well outside the law and making a monkey of the zonings. But if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s illegal, why hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the Department come out and said so?

But surely if holiday letting was illegal, the Department of Planning would say so, right?

Nope. This is what the Department had to say in the leaked letter published by The Echo three weeks ago, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;the policy approach in this regard is that such provision of holiday letting in a dwelling is a use ancillary to the major purpose of the building.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; The Department here appears to be saying that holiday letting is legitimate. Now read the statement again. If you know anything about planning youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d know that the relevant criterion is not the purpose of the building, but the purpose of the zoning. A building can occur in any number of zones; it is the zoning that determines what that building can legitimately be used for. The purpose of zones is to ensure commonsense separation of usages which may conflict.

Who benefits from holiday letting?

Obviously it is not only the owners of the houses and the real estate agents who organise the letting who benefit, but the entire business community. More houses with holiday-makers = more spending than normal tenants = greater profits all round. Greater profits translate into capital gains, higher overall land values and higher rental income, which in turn radiate out from the beach to inland towns and then to rural areas.

Who loses from holiday letting? Those who live next door to a party house, those who have to pay higher rents, those with fantasies of affordable home ownership this side of Nar Nar Goon, those service workers who now have to drive further to work because there is no affordable accommodation

or public transport, those who own motels or other legitimate accommodation, those who have to pay higher prices for everything in the beach towns â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and those rural landowners who suffer because the holiday letting moratorium has freed up Council staff to harass them instead.

Moratorium?

Yes; through inattention and naivetĂŠ our elected Council have effectively said: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t close down any holiday letters.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; This is how it happened: In mid 2006 Council passed a resolution saying that all proposed prosecutions for holiday letting should be put before Council for determination; in other words, the decision to prosecute was taken out of the hands of Council staff. Since that time not a single holiday letter has been referred to Council for prosecution for zoning infringement. Apparently Council staff have interpreted the resolution as a moratorium which allows holiday letters to go for it â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which is not what it says. Your elected councillors noticed nothing.

So every year Council votes on a Compliance Priorities Program, a list which says which illegal activities will be targeted by staff over the next 12 months. In both 2008 and 2009 holiday letting, as well as urban illegal dwellings, was left off the list altogether. When I pointed out these defects to Mayor Jan Barham, she was defensive. Two months later I asked her what she had done to fix the problem. I was flabbergasted when she told me that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been given the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;wrong listâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all.

Smelling a rat I thought Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d better check the minutes of the relevant meeting (December 08). Sure enough the version I have is the one that was voted on, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the one thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legally binding. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jan whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s evidently been given the wrong list.

The Department has this to say: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The use of detached secondary dwellings is not considered appropriate in rural areas as it created the potential for subdivision applications below prevailing standards.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Really? My first point is continued opposite

Byron’s coastal dilemma

In search of the perfect coffee Victoria Cosford

Bruce Thom

Byron Shire Council like all councils around the Australian coast where houses have been allowed to be built just behind the beach is confronted with a dilemma. These councils face the difficult task of planning for a future in which sea level rise and changing wave conditions may induce episodic retreat of the shoreline during storms.

This is not a new phenomenon in Australia and elsewhere. Three options are used in coastal management to meet the sometimes conflicting interests of beachfront property owners under threat of erosion and the desire of communities to maintain a public beach. The options are to protect properties, to accommodate the impact with some form of building redesign, or to retreat and relocate.

All options come with costs to the landowners, councils and from previous page

that rural subdivision applications below 40ha are always rejected, so what’s the point of applying?

Secondly, rural landowners do not build extra accommodation to attract population; every TO LET ad in The Echo will result in 20 to 50 calls, depending on the season, and the following week there will be the same number of different people calling.

Illegal rural dwellings then are clearly a response to demand, not a source of pressure which can be dealt with by

president of the Australian Coastal Society and was the chair of the NSW Coastal Council before it was disbanded.

What does a café do when its owners are considering changing their brand of coffee? Or when they are constantly plagued by coffee companies each pushing its own particular type?

One solution is to invite a bunch of regulars to a coffeetasting – and recently Byron Bay’s Twisted Sista did precisely this.

Sista Ginny told The Echo that ‘we’re hit by so many coffee companies all the time, so we just wanted to give them all a try.’ Three Sistas and seven regulars were given nine different types to try, a streamlined flow of milk-based samples sent out by expert barista Renee Glover. I – backed up by one other regular only – expressed the opinion that the tastings should be based on straight shots of espresso undiluted by milk but was shouted down by the Sistas on the grounds that if one was going to stand out it would regardless, and that most people drank milk-based coffees anyway.

The upshot? Asked to give a score out of 10 I found myself cautiously bequeathing around 5 to 6 for most.

None really distinguished itself although the aftertastes varied in bitterness. After a while one’s palate became inured, a little numb. The top three, however, proved to be

pretending that the need for affordable to live, the situation them isn’t there. Furthermore borders on the absurd.

Again one suspects that holiday letting contributes to the shortage of supply. the Department is favouring sectional interests, taking the Socioeconomic lazy way out. Most rural land is not owned by developers cleansing? and therefore profits from ruIt’s one thing to make a se- ral subdivision would not go cret decision which says ‘we to those who make the ‘conwant more millionaires and tributions’. Rural subdivision, less dole bludgers and hip- furthermore, might reduce depies’ (that is, socio-economic mand for the land which those cleansing) but when such chappies do happen to own. decision pretends that those Can’t have that. millionaires won’t require Jan Barham and the Greens landscapers, cleaners, shop have been waiting for governassistants etc with somewhere ment authorities to give them

a ‘strategic’ approach which will let them off the hook in terms of what to do about illegal dwellings. However the Department’s ‘strategy’ on every issue including coastal erosion is ‘Your problem, not ours’ and to pour water on any proposed local solutions. The Greens ought to draw the obvious conclusion: they must either prosecute holiday letters or declare a moratorium on unauthorised dwellings too. Their present contradictory position favours the wealthier and better organised. These are not the people who voted for them.

the beach loving community.

In places like New Jersey the decision to hard wall sections of the shore in front of expensive homes has resulted in the loss of the beach. This is on a coast with a rising sea level.

To use a wall and then nourish the beach with sand from other sources as on the Gold Coast can be very successful but it is expensive and requires a massive tourist industry to be sustainable. We have known since the report of the Public Works Department in 1978 that the Belongil beach section of Byron Council is a problem yet landowners continue to rebuild, and very crude attempts have been made to protect existing properties such as dumping car bodies.

Successive councils and state departments have grappled with the problem recognising the costs to the owners, the right of the public to have access to a beach, the consequences that

any hard structures at Belongil will have on shorefront land downdrift of the eroding section, and of course the costs of any major protective works similar to what has been undertaken at Noosa and on the Gold Coast.

Australian society will in future be seeing more of the problem facing the different interests at Byron under climate change. Some difficult and costly decisions will have to be made if we are to hold onto our beaches in built-up areas. It is not a simple matter of just protecting property owner’s rights.

It is also going to be a matter of protecting the rights of a community to have a beach. Byron’s dilemma will eventually be Australia’s dilemma.

Casa del Caffe (the winner), Vittoria then Genovese. I asked one of the Sistas if this meant they would change from the brand they have used for years, the ever-reliable, expertly expressed Lavazza. ‘We’ll probably stay with Lavazza’ was the reply. Besides, as another

Sista pointed out, ‘they say that it’s 50% the type of coffee used and 50% the person who makes it’ which guarantees a good coffee.

Market monitoring Reply to last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s letter from Hilary Bain. The adoption of the term â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;certifiedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, when describing inspected farms is absolutely misleading. Hydroponic produce is also being sold at this market, but nowhere do you see the word mentioned.

Surely, this is misleading advertising in both senses of the words, and we should be saying it like it is, rather than what sounds good.

Also, how does the committee ensure that the produce brought from other sources are not included in legitimate â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;farm inspectedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; produce? It is impossible to be certain in this uncertain world, and unfortunately not everyone does the right and ethical thing.

â&#x2013; I am writing as manager of the Byron Farmer Market and would like to respond to your reader Hillary Bain who wrote on a number of subjects regarding our fine market.

We do recognise her concerns but wish to clarify the background to our situation.

Shop 9/Level 1 Byron Pier Lawson St, Byron Bay EXTENSION SPECIALISTS Call Kaitlyn 0418 183 394

It is the role of Byron Farmers Market to provide the general public with a choice to buy from local farmers, some of whom are organic, some of whom are biodynamic, and some of whom are conventional.

While some conventional farmers do use chemicals, we believe the fact they now come to a market where they meet face-to-face with their customers is making them very aware of the need to minimise their use of chemicals and to ensure any use is responsible.

The word â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;certifiedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; has not been bandied about but is clearly positioned as stipulating that the grower is the seller exactly as quoted in the Echo article which states â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;evidence that the farmers grow what they sellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x201C; this is what the general public asked us to evidence.

Certification is the confirmation in writing by the Byron Farmers Market that the individual members meet the criteria of the market â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the word is generic in the English language and is freely used to denote compliance to specified requirements confirmed in writing.

We are indeed setting the pace and this is evidenced by the Australian Farmers Market Association recently rolling out a dedicated program to certify that farmers market sellers are the growers, so we are in step with our sister movements in the UK, New Zealand, Canada and the

USA, as was underlined at the recent National Farmers Market Conference.

The â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;choice to eat organicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is made very clear with our new signage which is clearly green code coloured plus each organic grower has an additional â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;organicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; pennant on their stall to flag where they are located.

Last Thursday we had 15 organic stalls which represent a healthy 25% of total stalls.

We totally agree with the elimination of plastic bags and we are pleased to say we are already setting up a trial at our Bangalow Market. Now many of our educated customers bring their own bags which means no requirement for plastic.

Our mission is simply for the member local growers to provide fresh, delicious, nutritious and ethically local grown competitively priced produce to the people of the Byron Bay region.

GM escapees

torium on the introduction of GM into the environment was a dangerous move, Monsantoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spinners blitzed the media that this would not happen.

Monsanto was backed up by Ian MacDonald, Minister of Agriculture at the time.

What I am asking is that all RoundUp users should not believe the spin around the herbicide that is increasing in use in this Shire.

There is now scientific proof from around the world that this poison is contaminating water tables along with destroying beneficial bacteria, fungi etc in the soil. It is incomprehensible to me how people who consider themselves environmentally aware do not think about this practice and the possible long term damage they could be doing.

Landholders, employ and encourage the youth to get involved in environmentally sensitive land care. What might take a few extra hours of labour to hand-remove misplaced plants now will provide work to underemployed youth and teach them what a responsibility it is to take care of the soil that nurtures all life. We only have one Earth, isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t it time we all thought about how we live on it?

Today it is reported in the SMH (Friday, September 25) that Monsantoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s RoundUp Ready genetically modified canola has escaped the farms it is being grown on and is now growing on the verges of roads.

For the past six months multi-instrumental king Nicky Bomba has been wandering our fair brown land playing in different configurations: with regular band Bomba (with brother Michael on keys), or solo with Allstar random guests. Continuing the trail of wicked rhythms and funkyreggae mayhem, he will be playing fresh songs from his new album Planet Juice, along with the sweet live Bomba favourites and some old school mash ups.

positive. The more I play and the more I perform with an acoustic guitar and a good bunch of songs and an aware attitude, the more I become a kind of troubadour.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s throughout cultures.

In Maltese tradition itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Spiritu Pronts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that means quick spirit â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and that means the performer or whoever there is makes things up on the spot. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be at weddings or wherever and find out who is there and make up a song on the spot. I find I do that â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I am such a gypsy at the anyway â&#x20AC;&#x201C; wherever I am I make moment, I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part of my it special for that moment. You culture, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my Maltese heritage never have the same people to make home wherever there again, you bring out the you are â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to let the gypsy unique qualities of each gig. It spirit make wherever you are really keeps me on my toes.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Being spontaneous is part of Nickyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passion for music. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I am not afraid to fly by the seat of my pants. The more I mature as a musician the more I know I have this gift that I can either be shy or non expressive with or I can take it to the other extreme and it ends up being about the connection with the audience between them and you and the songs.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Bomba is a grandfather now, but that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t slow him down. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I feel I am the oldest I have ever been but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the youngest I have ever felt! I have a sense of clarity and simplicity and I think that the more you get closer to that simplicity the

more complete your life is, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get hung up on the material trappings and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about the inner journey and the beauty of life â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the fact we are on this sphere and in this galaxy and we have all these senses! â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;What excites me is that for the rest of my life to be in a position where I can collect ideas and have the observations of life and distil them into music. My new album is also my first solo album â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it was cathartic to write it and to play it and then to be able to go wherever I wanted with it. It was up to my imagination and the rules were that there are no rules! I would recommend it to any musician

to work out where they are, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opened a can of worms for me, or should I sayâ&#x20AC;Ś a can of beans!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; As drummer with Jon Butler, vocalist and guitarist with Bomba and a soloist in his own right, Nicky Bomba has one simple and inspiring way of summing it all up: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I am up for the adventure!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Nicky Bomba is joined by his full band at the Beach Hotel for two gigs this weekend.

Saturday will feature songs from his new album Planet Juice and Sunday is calypso and mentoâ&#x20AC;Ś Sunday gig starts at 2.30pm. Planet Juice is out and available through the website nickybomba.com

Taking the Red Bull By the Horns

In any supermarket anywhere in the world youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be able to find at least one kid chucking a wobbly. A proper wobbly can only be achieved after the child has imbibed half his or her body weight in sugar. The wobbly must be performed on the floor and is best done on the back in a position that blocks the thoroughfare for passing shoppers. Arms and legs should thrash in a pulsing movement making it difficult for an adult to get a solid grip and thereby diffusing the impact. Getting the audio is crucial, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what makes the difference between a tantie and a fullblown sugar withdrawal. No wobbly is complete without the sound of primal wounding.

This should be executed at

a pitch that accesses the adult on a cellular level.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important for kids to set their own level. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just go with the flow. Some kids are much better at a guttural growl, others do the high-pitched scream (an old favourite), while there are those who prefer to swear and yell obscenities.

Do you know why you never see kids chucking wobblies in health food shops?

Because thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing in there they actually want.

No self-respecting five year old is going to waste an award winning floor wobble on a dried banana and a box of sultanas. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sucrose, the sweet Satan, the rage restorant that turns our pure breastfed babies into chemically deprived psychopaths. Diabetes is

Mullum the Musical!

Mullumbimby Music Festival hits town November 26 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 29.

With over 50 acts on eight stages over four days this celebration of homegrown chemical free organic music traverses diverse genres and demographics as it presents everything from folk to pop, rock, gypsy, reggae, country, indie and acoustic. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a family friendly weekend when the whole town just pulses with sound. Featuring prolific songwriters such as National Treasures Archie Roach and Shane Howard, the enigmatic Tex Perkins, swinging ska punk with the Russian sensation Vulgagrad and festival finds such as the indie country folk of Sal Kimber and the Rollinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Wheel, Hawaiian born daughter of a showgirl Simone White, Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading jazz vocalist Vince Jones, afro dance beats from Afro Dizzi Act with

on the increase, and the sugar police are out in force. Around here itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s social suicide to serve cake at a childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s party. Be careful, lest one of the other parents calls DOCS for the potential harm youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just unleashed.

So why then do we sit back and watch our teenage kids knock back energy drinks? One source told me there were some kids throwing back about four energy drinks a day. Man, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be at Tweed Hospital having an anxiety attack.

Recently my daughter had to perform an experiment for science where she took her blood pressure before and after an energy drink and then monitored her response. Within 15 minutes of consuming the drink her heart rate had

increased by about 20%. It was phenomenal. After the second drink she started cleaning her room and then she did the washing. Now thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dangerous. Are energy drinks the cigarettes of our era? A quick search through scientific journals reveals no apparent research to qualify just what kind of longterm effect high doses of caffeine, guarana, sugar and some weird colouring obtained from bullâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s testicles actually has on young people. I mean why not just give your teenager Ice? Grab them a syringe and jack them full of speed. Chuck a few lines of coke in the lunchbox.

At least you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to make lunch. Energy drink dependence is the perfect way to breed amphetamine addicts. Man, they could join

Senegalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jali Buba Kuyateh and a whole stack more. Back to back concerts are scheduled for the Civic Hall, the RSL, the Bowlo, the Drill Hall, the Court House Hotel and the High School Auditorium.

Thursday night November 26 opens with a bang at the Civic Hall when Joel Salom, international circus performer just back from Portugal, hosts a concert that features the best of the fest. This one-off special performance gives patrons the opportunity to check out a variety of acts in a Gala format, and as thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s limited seating itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expected to be a sell out. Day tickets, season tickets and opening night tickets are available now.

the army. God knows, gotta do something to stir up the children of peace loving brown rice no shoes and prayer flag hippies. Every second kid is supposed to have behavioural disorders, each aberration with its own acronym: ADD, ADHD, OCD, ACDCâ&#x20AC;Ś Is it any wonder our kids are crawling the walls, being more violent, more allegedly out of control when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve downed four Red Bulls and then made sit in a class? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time we marketed a nice laidback drink. Something with a blissed-out opiate type effect. Calm the kids down.

CAROLA CHRISTIAN COURT HOUSE HOTEL FRIDAY

PAUL MCMAHON COURTHOUSE COMEDY THURSDAY

David Shaw’s sculptures traverse the spectrum of sleek bold lines in Mt Gambier limestone to quirky, abstract forms in clay. He says his work is a perpetual quest for harmony in form and line.

David chooses to work in Mt Gambier limestone for a number of reasons; it is Australian, derived from the sedimentation of ancient seas around five million years ago.

He also loves the colour which varies from almost white to deep cream, the texture which often exposes fossils, shells and strata marks and colouration due to mineral deposits. ‘Stone and Clay’ is on show at the Northern Rivers Community Gallery now and opens on Saturday alongside Fendley’s exhibition at 2pm.

Working Together To Get the Job Done Retrospect Galleries Byron Bay launches two new exhibitions that shine the light on the collaborative process. ‘Global Boom’ features works by one

of Australia’s most established and successful collaborative teams, Nick Morris and Dave Bowers, aka Doug Bartlett.

While ‘One + One’ is a showcase of works by well known Northern Rivers’ artists having their first go at pairing up on canvas. Working side by side, artists Nick Morris and Dave Bowers regularly paint over each other’s work, trashing hours, days or weeks worth of the other’s compositions. The only explanation required is the phrase, ‘Doug has entered the building’. The Doug that they’re referring to is the almighty Doug Bartlett, who Morris and Bowers credit with ‘continually forcing their creativity’. Doug in fact is a construct, the holy grail of artist pseudonyms, and much more. He’s a star on the Doug Bartlett website, oft referenced, quoted and even photographed – a mustachioed playboy with a certain 70s style, surrounded by a bevy of beautiful naked women. Inspired by Doug Bartlett’s success, Bree Delian has approached some of Retrospect Galleries’ other most popular artists asking successful individuals to pair up for the first time, and try their hand as part of a team.

On show now.

Every year four actors from the Sydney Theatre Company are set a challenge. Jonathon Biggins, Phillip Scott, Helen Dallimore and Drew Forsythe are the principal members of The Wharf Revue and it’s their task to create a biting topical political satire in just two weeks. This year they had it easy. They had three weeks.The crew has developed ‘Pennies from Kevin’ a recession inspired musical based on the feel good musicals of the Great depression.

Jonathon Biggins, writer and actor for the Wharf Revue laughed: ’It was funny when we started formulating it because it seemed we were going to be in the greatest recession since the

LIQUID, THURSDAY OCT 1 Aaron Holstein aka Vibe Squad has been living music since he was ten, playing piano, guitar and bass, studying jazz and classical. ‘I got my first 45” single in 1980 and it was the Sugar Hill Gang’s Rappers’. Since the early 80s the electronic music scene has had a firm grip on Aaron, ‘I was really into making hip-hop and then jungle beats on an MPC60 and then MPC2000’.

After playing over 1,500 gigs in various bands Aaron got into computer software in 1999 and composed his first Vibe Squad track in 2005 followed by the first Vibe Squad gig in 2006.

2009 and two hundred gigs later, Vibe Squad is coming to Byron for a totally funked up set. Aaron’s releases such as Funk Iz show his knack for funk.

‘It takes me roughly forty to a hundred hours to complete a four minute track.’ Aaron’s third album, Joyful Noise is available on vibesquad.addictech.com and while you’re there check out his first, Bass Love and second Dawn Patrol.

Q: In a nutshell, what was your journey from buying your first single to now?

A: ‘I used to go crazy dancing around the living room to the b-side Apache (Jump ON it, Jump On it). I also liked big rock music like Rush and The Who (I was nine). Somehow almost 30 years later, I have retained the same level of passion for positive, back-beat driven, feel good music.’

Q: Do people have to be dubstep fans to enjoy your music?

A: ‘Nope, in fact, I don’t think that the hardcore dubsteppers would consider what I do dubstep at all. I am definitely influenced and inspired by the space and bass and rhythms in the dubstep genre…’

better have the best time of my life or else! I have heard great things about Byron. My friend Andrei (Heyoka) was telling me how crazy fun his time there was recently. I want to express my extreme gratitude to the folks who have made this tour Q: How would you describe your sets and what you do possible and I am really looking musically? forward to it!’

A: ‘My goal is simply to make Aaron is rumoured to give people feel really good with whiplash to unsuspecting this music. I just get deep into bystanders, so be prepared it myself and try to externalise for the crunkadelic bass the passion and love I feel traveller before you get down for this music and hope that to it at LiQUiD this Thursday; translates into a positive starts 9:30pm with support experience for the listener.’

Q: Have you got an all time favorite gadget?

A: ‘The subwoofer.’

Q: What would you like to see/experience when in Australia?

Last week’s solution

TAURUS: Memories we attach to possessions keep us invested in certain ways of thinking and behaving. This week’s newbroom scenario sweeps away some of your connections to the past, highlighting essential priorities and freeing you up to bring more of the things you love into everyday life.

GEMINI: With so much mental activity going on this week it’s really important to discipline the Gemini mind. Staying in the present and focusing on what’s in front of you will be way more efficient and effective than constantly trying to pre-plan an uncertain future.

The 25th anniversary match between Garry Kasparov and Anatoly Karpov in Valencia, Spain, attracted extraordinary media interest but chess fans around the world may have felt somewhat hard done by.

The organisers predicted that 10 million internet viewers would tune in to watch the two living legends clash in a series of exhibition games at fast time limits.

The figure might have been accurate, but for the official web site failing to secure enough bandwidth to cope with tens of thousands – let alone millions – of visitors.

CANCER: The recent period of reevaluation has provided you with new perspectives and resolutions, now it’s time to reorganise and start over. Mars in your sign likes to take charge, but don’t expect the key players in your life to behave like saints – do you?

opportunities come alive, your energy’s in overdrive, everyone’s impressed with your sassy style and shopping stars are majorly auspicious for bargains. The only not so abfab news is that other people’s forecasts aren’t so stellar…

LEO: This is the beautiful people transit and like everyone else you’ll want to look your best, so all health or fitness moves are worth doing. As this week sashays out of holding pattern into forward motion, your ideas start garnering support and looking more workable.

SCORPIO: This week calls for a stay in the moment, step by step kind of dance. Not planning too far ahead, putting the future on the back burner and taking life day by day. And never forgetting that no matter what happens your needs will be met.

VIRGO: Venus works best in an easy manner so relax, be sweet to yourself and say no to commitments which could put you on overload. This week’s Venus and Mercury in Virgo offer new opportunities without you having to do anything at all – you’ve already done plenty.

LIBRA: This week’s sprinkling you with love dust. Ideas thrive,

SAGITTARIUS: While this week moves things forward, it’s advisable not to finalise important business decisions till your ruling planet Jupiter moves forward on October 13.

The problem for Greer is that he no longer buys the line. He abandons his buffed, handsome surrogate and goes onto the streets as himself. He wants Maggie, his flesh and blood wife back, but she is wholly committed to the couch Surrogates and her surrogate, leading to I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think of anybody Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d rather have puttinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; up his dukes a genuinely eerie scene when Greer, in the kitchen, pleads to fight for the human race with her through the surrogate than Bruce Willis. Admittedly, to come away with him for a the Bruiser is getting a bit holiday and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;do stuff together long in the tooth for this sort like we used to do.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; A crisis of caper, but he has managed looms after a weapon capable to make the battle-hardened of not only dismantling the face and bald pate part of the surrogates but also killing their charisma, so that when push controlling humans falls into comes to shove, you know the hands of the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;meatbagsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, that the old fella will get the reservation dwellers who job done. An actor of great have rejected the surrogate subtlety, in this he is Greer, an FBI agent not unlike Detective revolution. It is a tight, fast moving script that allows for John McClane from the Die no time wasting diversions and Hard series. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been around gives nothing away, although the traps and, if not exactly you can more or less bank on it disillusioned, has succumbed that any plot twist will involve to a weariness of spirit. That the retired scientist Canter, most debilitating condition, played by serial double-crosser also affecting McClane, has James Cromwell. The level been triggered by Greerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s of violence is surprisingly alienation from societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s negligible for the genre and, changing mores and an most pleasing, the effects take omnipotent technology that allows for people to experience second place to story and character. A terrific movie â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the world through life-like machines.

When these intentions are revealed, Cora and a friendly magical cat use their wits and willpower to defeat Coralineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wicked â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;other motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and restore balance in the real world.

I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say that I was willing him to jump, but honestly, a bit of juice wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have gone astray. He was doubtless consoled by the prospect of winning more money on TV talent [sic] quests than what any of his classmates might earn as professional dancers or orchestral musicians. Jenny has a near escape from the casting couch, Neil gets ripped off by a bogus movie producer and Malik, the black dude, is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;troubledâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, but not mean â&#x20AC;&#x201C; fret not, his kind acting tutor will see him through it. Showbiz is the panacea for all their woes and Denise, who discovers that she prefers singing to playing Beethoven, brings it home with an eardrum-splitting wail.

Harmless enough I suppose, and not as nauseating as you might expect. ~ John Campbell

Coffee, chocolate, cheese â&#x20AC;&#x201C; even, perish the thought, liquor â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I might consider giving up. But never salt. I adore salt, and am unfailingly surprised by those who, generally justifying themselves on the grounds of health, refuse to consider it. And while I am not denying the well-documented relationship between dietary salt intake and hypertension, nor wishing to make light of it, for most â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;normallyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; healthy people salt does not constitute a hazard.

in its own juices.) Salt is an extraordinary ingredient, bound up in superstition and mythology. Margaret Visser in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Rituals of Dinnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; describes it as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;a mysterious, powerful, pure, but dangerous substance which people have always treated with respect.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; An otherwise sensible, practical woman, I will always toss over one shoulder a pinch of salt if some spillage has occurred, feeling faintly ridiculous as I do it but unwilling to accept the consequences if I do not.

In fact, the word salt comes from the Roman god of health, Salus - who also bequeathed to the English language words like salute, originally a gesture to express a wish of good health; salutary; salvation. Salt is essential to human life, and to function properly the body requires a constant presence of 100 grams. Through urine, perspiration and tears we lose some of this and it needs to be accordingly topped up.

Without salt our fluid balance â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or water content â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is unable to be regulated.

salt lakes. The increasing gourmandisation of affluent modern society has given rise to the proliferation of artisanal salts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Himalayan, Hawaiian, Salt is composed largely pink, grey, black, hickoryof sodium chloride. It is a smoked and fleur de sel, to crystalline solid, a mineral name just a few â&#x20AC;&#x201C; although obtained from sea water or most lack iodine, a crucial rock deposits. Its manufacture element added to table salt. and use is one of the oldest These are not, in other words, chemical industries â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and a healthier option, though its original harvest, from the often a prettier one. Judging surface of a lake in China, dates by the tiny dish of pink salt back to at least 6000 BC. Most on the table of a restaurant refined salt today is prepared where I dined recently, these from mineral deposits high â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;designerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; salts appear to be in salt, rock deposits formed still very much in fashion. Salt by the evaporation of ancient being, furthermore, a mineral,

and therefore unable to go stale, rather makes a mockery and even an affectation of salt grinders proffered by zealous waiters (especially before you have even tasted your meal: how do you know if you need it?)

Food without salt is bland.

One of saltâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great virtues is to brighten flavour: it draws it out, as it draws out liquid in porous vegetables like eggplant (useful if you wish to deep-fry them) and meat (which is why it is best to salt the steak you are pan-frying just before you turn it, so that it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t start to stew

The proportion of salt in the human bloodstream is close to its proportion in sea water â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the suggestion is irresistible that this is connected to the fact that life itself grew out of the ocean before becoming land-bound. Salt was the great preserver of food before refrigeration, absorbing moisture from the cells of bacteria and mould through osmosis, either killing them or leaving them unable to reproduce.

The Spanish writer Cervantes said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;A man must eat a peck of salt with his friend, before he knows himâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but I am more drawn to a 19th century English-American writer called Helen Rowland who is quoted as saying that â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;A wise woman puts a grain of sugar into everything she says to a man, and takes a grain of salt with everything he says to her.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

The unbearable lightness of being there seats of convertible Chevies, Pontiacs and Cadillacs for a turn around the Sydney Football Stadium.

Real old blokes. Arthritic, lame and craggy, with cauliflower ears and broken noses that had never been straightened. Survivors of our dads’ and grand-dads’ eras, oversized suits hanging loose on their diminished frames.

It was the sunniest of arvos and, as the fleet of cars made its slow circumnavigation of the playing field, the PA kicked in with big elegiac music. (Martin Scorsese’s inspired choice of Mascagni to close ‘Raging Bull’, his movie about the boxer Jake La Motta, best expresses the operatic grandeur and pathos that remain undiscovered by those benighted souls who disregard the back pages of the paper.)

My mate Spot was sitting next to me. We were five rows from the fence, on the nor-east twenty-metre line, yakking about all things footy after sinking a few diluted, overpriced Stadium beers. A hush descended as the cavalcade drew near, then we all broke

into respectful applause as the veterans waved to us, grinning like they were embarrassed by all the fuss.

I turned to Spot. His eyes welled with tears. It was not long after his father had passed …

Canberra edged out Penrith by 18-14 on that balmy September Sunday but, because in sport the heart always rules the head, it’s Spot’s lachrymose response to those ancient warriors that I’ll most remember.

As well as being a sentimental fool, your obsessive football fan (e.g. moi) tends to be a bower-bird when it comes to memorabilia. Among the league programs that I have ferreted away are those of four other grand finals, an archive as

meaningful to me as the Magna Carta. They’re from 1986’s tryless trench warfare, in which Mick ‘the Crow’ Cronin kicked Parra to a 4-2 victory against Canterbury; 1989’s epic, decided in extra time when the Raiders’ Steve Jackson came off the bench to bullock his way over and sink the Tigers 1914; and the successive Brisbane defeats of St George in 1992 and 1993, the latter highlighted by a breathtaking eighty-metre sprint to the line by Steve ‘the Pearl’ Renouf.

Sadly, souvenirs from earlier matches have vanished, leaving those titanic struggles to be nourished by the river of memory.

The first was in 1965, when

78,065 people crammed into the SCG to see the youthful South Sydney Rabbitohs attempt to end St George’s long winning streak – Norm Provan’s awesome Dragons had racked up nine in a row.

Dad always parked the blue FJ (BAA478) in the same place (footy tragics are also creatures of habit), in a lane near the Langton Clinic, from where he’d march me and my little brother across Moore Park towards the grand Edwardian theatre of combat.

The Bunnies got done 12-8, but I have had an abiding love for them ever since. (Nick Hornby was so right when he confessed in ‘Fever Pitch’ that the fanatical supporter finds comfort in the knowledge that others think of him when they hear his team mentioned – a friend in Sydney was on the blower straightaway after Souths gave Manly a touch-up back in August, opening with ‘Johnny, you’ll be giving the De Bertoli a nudge tonight!’

It’s a fleeting thing, but it makes you feel less invisible in an overwhelmingly cluttered and impersonal world.)

My only glimpse of the game that day came when a penalty kick by the Red and Greens’ Kevin Longbottom sent the ball sailing above the heads

<echowebsection=Sport>

and shoulders of the giants in front of me. It hung in the sky for a tiny eternity. Mystical and unforgettable.

It was 1981 before I attended another grand final.

Newtown led Parramatta with twenty to go. Tommy Raudonikis was doing his grisly utmost to get the Blues home and I was at the back of the Bob Stand (since demolished and rebuilt at North Sydney Oval) with a handful of Henson Park denizens, yelling my guts out for him and the boys (it’s a sin against nature to be a neutral observer at such colossal events).

The shift in momentum – ‘a tide in the affairs of men’ – was barely perceptible at first, but irreversible nonetheless. On fresher legs, the brio of Parra’s stellar juniors – Sterling, Kenny, Ella and Grothe – finished all over the top of the tiring Bluebags for a 20-11 triumph.

It was the Eels’ maiden premiership, prompting Bob ‘the Bear’ O’Reilly to celebrate by pouring the contents of a magnum of Moet down his parched throat right there and then, in the middle of the SCG. Or, at least, that’s how I remember it …

As for the big one this Sunday, well, I don’t care who wins – as long as it’s not Parramatta.

Circle Satsang with Vartman Byron Bay October 2009 â&#x20AC;&#x153;I Believe it is time to evolve Satsang past the model of one person sitting at the front supplying the answers. Just the setup can be inherently disempowering. A recent shift in Consciousness gives us the possibility to access the wisdom of the circle and create a living vortex of Divine intelligence that can move us quickly from understanding... to feeling... and even seeing the world as it actually is. The Self-Recognition of seeing the world without limited perception is indescribably beautiful and can radically cut all mind suffering. I would love to explore that with You.â&#x20AC;?

DA Watch You may not see Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s development application advertising as it is not placed in your community paper. As a free service, therefore, we regularly list all significant new DAs on public exhibition, making clear exactly what is sought in the applications and identifying the location of the land affected.

We urge readers to follow up on DAs they feel may affect them by visiting Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office before the advised closing date and making an appropriate written submission. Be aware that all submissions are deemed to be public documents.

If you are the holder of a Centrelink pension or healthcare card and are struggling to afford the cost of having your pet desexed, we may be able to help you. Please call the Animal Welfare League NSW on 6684 4070. AWl warmly thanks Dennetts IGA and Gary McDonald Butchers for their generous contributions to the Pet Awareness Day on Saturday September 19.

Backlash Byron Council is copping it from all sides, with an anonymous local councillor bemoaning coastal policy in the Gold Coast Bulletin and various commentators in The Australian suddenly becoming experts on â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;planned retreatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. All this before the draft coastal zone management plan has even gone on exhibition. Expect lots more heat and very little light. â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013;

Make sure you have spare coins in your car this Wednesday morning if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re travelling into Mullumbimby. The year 12 students will be out collecting money for worthy causes between 6.30am and 8.30am.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be cheerfully demanding and wearing freaky costumes, so give until it hurts.
