WORDS, WE GET THEM WHOLESALE

Big and small to defend whales

Coastal plan ready for exhibition Byron Shire Council‘s controversial draft Coastal Zone Management Plan (CZMP) is on the agenda for the Ordinary Meeting this Thursday. Council’s director of planning Ray Darney said the report to Council will be seeking approval to place the draft CZMP out on public exhibition. ‘Once out on public exhibition, we encourage the community to read the draft CZMP and actively participate in the community engagement process,’ said Mr Darney in a press release. During the public exhibition, copies of the draft CZMP and submission forms will be available on Council’s website and at community access points throughout the Shire.

Preserve public access

The 700km Transparentsea voyage began last Thursday when five environmental campaigners set off for Sydney from Byron Bay’s Main Beach in trimaran sea kayaks. The 36 day voyage, an initiative of professional surfer Dave Rastovich, will highlight the plight of migrating humpback whales, which they will be travelling alongside, and draw awareness to coastal pollution issues. Rastovich addressed supporters of the epic mission on Main Beach, ‘If anyone here has their own networks and ways to put that pressure on the

government, please go forth with that and spread the message because right now the only ship going to Antarctica is Sea Shepherd. This whole trip is about escorting these whales down the coast. When we get to Sydney on November 5 we will join the Sea Shepherd crew in launching their campaign to go down and defend these same whales that are passing our coast right now. ‘There are millions of surfers all over the world who all feel the same about dolphins and whales and feel the same about water quality. We are starting to wake up and be active with these issues. Clear, clean waters.

Transparency. Transparency with our government, transparent waters, transparent sense of self in what we’re doing and how we affect each other with our actions and our decisions. The title of this trip is all about being transparent.’ Rastovich also hopes to promote the admiration of whales through means that are not engine powered. He said that ‘recreation that wrecks creation’ somewhat defeats the purpose. A mid-ocean rendezvous between the Transparentsea participants and the crew of the Sea Shepherd’s Steve Irwin took place offshore from Yamba last Sunday.

<echowebsection=Local News>

The Transparentsea paddlers battled southerly winds and rising swells to greet the boat’s crew as they sat anchored about two kilometres out from the entrance to the Clarence River. The trimaran sea kayaks were dwarfed by the Steve Irwin, which will dock in Sydney, before leaving for Perth and then the Southern Ocean to officially commence its whale defense campaign in December. Rastovich said of his voyage, ‘It’s only a small act, but I know all the surfers I’ve met around the world have all been supportive of what we’re doing and particularly of Sea Shepherd’s frontline activism.’

According to the release, the draft CZMP aims to ensure preservation and management of public access to beaches; encourage community participation in coastal management initiatives such as dune management; ensure appropriate management of sensitive cultural sites; guide the responsible management of the coastline from an ecological, social and economic perspective; and establish a uniform 20m, development-free buffer between the erosion escarpment and human settlement. The plan will also provide for ‘a uniform 20m trigger distance for relocation to all relevant existing and future development in areas of coastal hazard, subject to certain conditions’; establish two Coastal Planning Precincts for immediate and 100-year planning horizon; and provide an Emergency Action Plan to explain Council’s responsibilities and actions. The draft CZMP also identifies management actions, timeframes and costs.

The Sustainable Streets group held its second workshop on Saturday in New City Road, Mullumbimby. The North Coast Climate Action Group’s Sustainable Streets Project began in October 2008 with the selection of winners for the Eco Home sustainability makeover competition. Since then, Byron Shire Council has come on board with funding for the project. The second workshop in the series, Sustainable Eats, included a group lunch where about 95% of the food prepared was sourced locally from the Northern Rivers bioregion, grown organically and with minimal packaging. Fruit trees were also planted on public land outside six residences in New City Road. Lunch included lemon myrtle tea and organic pumpkin from Stuart Street, rice from Nimbin, celery, broccoli and herbs and spices from the host’s garden and macadamias and other fare from local farmers markets. Sustainable Streets community coordinator Nina Bishop told The Echo, ‘Food is such a big part of our ecological footprint. People can choose local and seasonal food, food that doesn’t have high levels of carbon emissions in its production, and it’s delicious! ‘I am overcome by the lengths that local farmers and businesses go to make it easier

for people to source local, organic food. There is such great food out there available to us. Even conventional farmers are taking steps to become more organic and learn about biodynamics, it’s fantastic. ‘Living sustainably is all

about the symbiotic relationships we have with plants and other animals, and the connections we share in our close community. I think it is fantastic that people, like those residents who are a part of Sustainable Streets, are commit-

ting to reducing their carbon footprint. It’s the little steps we take together with other members of our community that really make a difference.’ Byron Shire Council’s sustainability officer Graeme Williams said, ‘Days like these are sustainability in action. Neighbours are getting to know each other over lunch and workshops which is great because the more people know each other, the more likely they are to share resources and knowledge. ‘This is the very fabric of community. This will become more and more imperative as climate change increases.’ According to an ABC Online report, CSIRO chief executive Dr Megan Clark told the National Press Club in Canberra that the amount of food needed over the next 50 years is equal to the total amount of food ever produced by humans. Dr Clark said, ‘That means in the working life of my children as much grain as has ever been harvested since the Egyptian time.’ Sustainability Streets has so far been focused on Stuart Street and New City Road in Mullumbimby but there are plans to further extend the program outside Mullumbimby next year.

Rail line under threat from government selloff Luis Feliu & Michael McDonald bill confirmed that every rail Administration Ministerial and traffic issues’ that ‘will

The closed Murwillumbah-toCasino rail line is now at risk of being lost forever and the land it sits on sold off to developers, after legislation was introduced into state parliament last week. The government claims the new law will facilitate the establishment of ‘rail trails’ for bike riding, walking and horse riding bicycles but opponents say it had suddenly put every rail line in NSW at risk of being sold off, describing it as a naked land grab and an act of state-sponsored infrastructure vandalism.The move has sparked the formation of a coalition of pro rail and sustainable transport groups around the state opposed to what they say is a plan to close the railways by stealth. NSW Transport Minister David Campbell introduced the bill to parliament, saying the state had more than 3,000 kms of non-operational rail lines and on some lines trains had stopped running on them for more than 30 years. But Greens MP and transport spokesperson Lee Rhiannon said the ‘rail trails’

line in NSW was now at risk of being declared ‘disused’ by the NSW government and sold off at a stroke of the pen. Ms Rhiannon said the bill confirmed that the ‘rail trail’ legislation ‘is a wolf in sheep’s clothing’ and if passed, the minister could declare any NSW rail line as disused, wait 30 days for a public consultation period to expire, then sell off the line and associated land to developers. ‘The bill gives no definition of what constitutes a “disused” line or any appeal process. The public consultation process involves placing an advertisement in a local paper and on the department’s website and calling for public submissions,’ she said. ‘The minister’s second reading speech on the bill tells the real story. He says where there is no community call for a ‘rail trail’ but that “there may be instances where the best outcome for the community may be to consider closing and disposing of the corridor”. ‘The bill allows for some disused rail corridors to be classified as Crown land and managed by the Lands

<echowebsection=Local News>

Corporation. ‘The government says this will make way for rail trails. But there is nothing stopping the government leasing the land to a mining company or another corporation for 99 years, effectively quashing any opportunity for this precious public infrastructure to be reused for public transport. ‘The minister’s speech to this bill makes it appear as if rail is dead in NSW but it is Minister Campbell who is the dinosaur. ‘In the age of climate change the government should be breathing life into NSW’s rail network, not closing it down and flogging it off,’ Ms Rhiannon said. Byron Shire Deputy Mayor Basil Cameron said the Rees government ‘has failed dismally on transport issues in our region’. Cr Cameron noted that the line is in a high growth corridor that already carries 120,000 vehicles a day south of Brisbane compared to 83,000 vehicles north of Sydney. National transport planners have identified that growth within the corridor will lead to ‘congestion, capacity, safety

challenge the performance and adequacy of the transport system’ in ‘Northern NSW down to Byron Bay’ (Auslink Sydney-Brisbane Corridor Strategy, 2007). ‘Queensland is preparing for the growth in population and traffic by rapidly extending and duplicating the southern rail line from Brisbane, which is expected to reach the border at Coolangatta Airport in the next few years,’ Cr Cameron said. Northern Rivers communities and the regional organisation of councils (NOROC) are actively planning for a rail future. ‘The regional organisation of councils, NOROC, is currently developing an Integrated Regional Transport Plan (IRTP). It seems that everyone except the Rees government is listening.’ Trains On Our Tracks (TOOT) president Karin Kolbe said many community groups around the state were ‘united in our anger at this naked land grab so we’re working together to stop this legislation’. The debate on the legislation in the upper house continues when parliament resumes on October 20. ■ Letters, page 12

Fashion reveals a beating Byron heart

Just when you suspect Byron might have been consumed by commercialisation and cars, Friday night’s Voyeur Fashion ExposĂŠ demonstrated this town’s heartbeat is still going gangbusters. Voyeur (pronounced ‘vwa-yer’, future MCs) was a showcase of the town’s undiminished creative energy, fun and cooperation, not to mention beauty, with previously untrained models sashaying with a great deal of sass in dazzling locally designed fashions. The show at the Byron Community Centre was the brainchild of designers Mark Harlow, Galit Massuri and Georgie Evans. Their vision was realised in a show that combined the buzz of a polished fashion event with segments showing extraordinary design talents from a Byron Youth Service project, an enrapturing display of child mermaids, a silks routine by Circus Arts, the eye-popping vision that is Astroboy in motion and the friendly, well-paced banter of MC Pavita, keeping it all together. Add to that excellent catering and a very accessible bar and you had a Byron experience to make you proud. The fashions, from ten designers, were an eclectic mix, from the textured kimono inspired Selop, to loose earthybut-chic Massuri and Vinto

Mimi won the Voyeur Designer of 2009 award, judged by fashion designer-turnedmayor Jan Barham, and the proprietors of Waywood

Fruitilicious won the people’s award, voted by the audience. The Face of Voyeur Award went to darkhaired beauty Jordan, one of the models. From feral to pure glam, the refreshingly original, funky and beautifully tailored crea-

tions by very young designers on display were the result of the Stitch and Style initiative of a ten-week course for early school leavers by the Byron Youth Service. Voyeur’s home-grown styles and performances were fresh and exciting, and just a sample of the amazing talent in this shire. Check it out, support it, and help put the Jonson Street purveyors of bland in their place.

Council allocates $35,000 towards Schoolies Byron Shire Council is supporting management during Schoolies with a funding allocation of $35,000. Mayor Jan Barham said the funds have been allocated to provide for additional safety such as lighting and surf lifesaving services on Main Beach plus extra

waste collection and cleaning of public toilets. Council will also fund a marquee to be placed next to the surf club to act as a rest and safety zone for the schoolies. Cr Barham said the formation of a coordinating group to consider the impacts and devel-

op an action plan for the influx of young tourists was a positive step forward, and Council was pleased to commit additional funds towards the management of public infrastructure. Schoolies in 2008 cost Council an extra $14,000 in cleanup and garbage services.

‘School leavers will be coming to Byron Bay to unwind and celebrate the end of exams but we ask them to do so with respect to the environment and community,’ Cr Barham said. ‘There is more to Byron Bay and surrounding areas than partying.’

The 70 or so young people that use the cottage each week through the Youthlinx program decided to do a mural for Jai on one of the walls. The young people who visit the cottage will put their signatures and small messages around Jai’s likeness. Pearse told The Echo, ‘Rituals and murals are an integral part of the grieving process for young people and at the BYS Cottage the mural is a place for them to remember Jai.’ Youthlinx is funded by DEWRR.

SPPA celebrates 50th Suffolk Park Progress Association is celebrating its 50th birthday with a Back To The 50s gathering on October 25, 12pm-2 pm, in the grounds of Suffolk Park Caravan Park. The SSPA is the longest continuously running progress association in the Byron Shire and was formed in 1959 with the purpose of looking after the camping ground. Since then the association has been involved in a variety of activities. People are encouraged to bring a picnic basket, have a cricket match on the beach and

come in 1950s style. Activities are planned for children, and the Suffolk Park Rural Fire Service will provide a sausage sizzle. The association is looking for volunteers, donations (for the sausage sizzle in particular), photographs/records of past association events, musicians/buskers and locals who just enjoy a good party.

ther’s Greenhouse’ when as an adult he returns to a place his adolescent self would frequent ‘language-less and bursting with/cliched unexpressed emotional storms...’ Here he discovers a ‘portable gas heater/that dad must have lit when the frosts came/and without knowing this until now/my father is tender/he gets up in the middle of the night/leaves his warm bed and lights gas heaters/for fragile fruit.’ Mothers and the children who have left them feature often. ‘boarding call/arms around your neck/I inhale deeply –/ in your childhood room/the old t-shirt I won’t wash’ by Pam Smith is economical and evocative. ‘The tug of you at

home’, writes Laura Jan Shore in ‘Elephants’, ‘is a rope around my fitful mind.’ And in ‘Coming...’ by Quendryth Young: ‘I wait.../As rubber burns the road, within my chest/the burning turns to ache and eyes to yearning.../along the cord of road/drawn feverishly taut that pulls my man-child/...home’. In Bev Sweeney’s ‘Down To The Sea’ a mother recalls her son as a toddler with whom she ‘dipped and splashed in the summer sea’ and the fact that now ‘On a park bench/at the dark edge of town she drowns in his bruised eyes/poisoned veins, the endless refrain ‘you never cared’. She longs/to lift his hollow frame, tangle her fingers in matted hair/dip him

tenderly in the clear blue light of a summer sea.’ The poem that opens the anthology is ‘Jim’ by Max Ryan; its fearless and heartrending ending made me cry. ‘We love this earth/despite its one sure promise,we love it while we can.’ Poignantly and pungently of this region and of these times, this is an anthology which should be gracing all our bookshelves. All The Way Home will be officially launched by Mayor Jan Barham on Friday October 9 at the Drill Hall in Mullumbimby at 7pm. There will be music and dance, champagne and finger food. And of course there will be poets and poetry.

Themes of old age and children growing up, of love and loss, of leaving places and returning to them thread in and out of this lovely anthology. ‘You always return, you never die’, the last line in Max Ryan’s poem ‘Phantom Comics’, could serve as a motif echoed in many of the others, the sense that the powers of memory and sentiment ensure a sort of immortalisation long after material life has departed. ‘I was still on that bus, heading for the show,’ the same poet ends another of his contributions, recalling a bus trip to a Beatles concert. And Helen Burns in ‘Crossing The River’ describes how ‘Beside the place a leopard rested/he left barefoot prints and where a snake shed its skin/he also left his.’ Death is recurrent as is degeneration and dementia – as if, despite that sense of eternity, the poets in this collection are all becoming increasingly aware of their finite-ness. ‘Next morning he gentles her/into their yacht, sets the sails.../Her body his ballast/ grey eyes his horizon/he pictures a sailor/all alone/at sea.’ is Bev Sweeney’s ‘Sailing’; Helen Burns in ‘Crumble and Tea’ describes how ‘I burn my tongue instead/ I burn from the inside out/watching her rise to take/ my plate. Her knees shake/at the weight of a world/reduced to this...’ And in ‘My Mother’s Nighties’ Bev Sweeney paints a tender vision of ‘rose pink prints/warm enough/for the ward’s grey chill/soft enough/ to cradle old bones.’ More tenderness is conveyed in Paul C Pritchard’s ‘My Fa-

The Buddha Bar is now pumping Victoria Cosford

Not quite 18 months after Byron Bay’s Buddha Bar started its major overhaul, the place is now ready to start pumping. In fact, according to general manager Peter Sinclair, it already is. The Byron Bay Brewery is now fully operational, with the 12 hectolitre microbrewery up and running, headed by a fulltime brewer. The entertainment component is increasing all the time, offering a mix of local and international acts; Dr Sketchy’s attracts 60-80 people to its monthly art/burlesque/cabaret event; there will be Oktoberfest

in October, a Latin festival in November and dinner shows to kick off as of December. The back beer garden has been spruced up and now flaunts brand new garden furniture, water features and giant buddhas, an entertainment area beneath a sloping bamboo roof, palm trees and an imposing 150-year old fig. Stefan Walker is head brewer with Byron Bay Premium Brewery.

A capacity audience crowded into the Dendy Cinema at Byron Bay for the Screenworks fund-raising opening night of Mao’s Last Dancer. Directed by Bruce Beresford, the movie is based on the autobiography by Li Cunxin in which he journeys from an impoverished village in China to international stardom as a ballet dancer. The role of Li was played by ballet dancer turned actor Chi Cao, who was there in person not only to open the event but also to answer questions at the end of the screening. According to the director, the part required an accomplished ballet dancer who spoke English and Mandarin and was young and handsome: Chi Cao fitted the brief to perfection, despite his modest introduction to the effect that if we did not think he was a very good actor ‘I don’t have a problem with that!’ In fact his performance was sensitive and assured, his dancing sublime. Questions from the floor included what it was like working for Bruce Beresford (‘He allowed me to be comfortable...I couldn’t say enough about Bruce’); whether or not he will continue acting or just concentrate on dancing (‘I’m going to go back to danc-

A bold plan to blend traditional and modern lifestyles under the umbrella of an Agricultural Show has been drawn up by organisers of the North Coast National Show being held at Lismore Showground from October 22 to 24. Show president John Gibson, celebrating 21 years as show president, said the idea was to keep show traditions alive and blend them with a developing region now called home to increasing numbers of families who did not grow up on the land. Attractions this year include Kev Carmody, a Wearable Arts Extravaganza, and circus daredevil acts and local horse riders in a Hooves of Thunder performance.

Vandals trash South Golden Beach community hall Vandals broke into South Golden Beach Community Centre and trashed it last Saturday night.

The trespassers were obviously oblivious to the potential injury that could have been caused to

innocent passersby. Police who arrived on the scene around 9.30pm are currently investigating the incident. Neighbours in the area have stated that the damage was inflicted by young teenagers. Chairperson of the South Golden Beach Community Centre Committee, Angela Dunlop, said, ‘The committee has been working tirelessly to bring the hall up to a standard that has increased the use of the

hall and given the community a meeting place to be proud of and where community based functions can now be held and friendships renewed. ‘Given the dearth of community facilities in SGB we are extremely disappointed that this wonderful asset has been treated with such disrespect. Our priority has been to raise funds to enhance the hall and surrounds by installing a picnic shelter, barbecue

and some sports facilities for the entire community, especially the young teens, but if this type of destruction is an example of how our facilities will be treated then we may have to reassess our priorities. The repairs will not be covered by insurance but will come out of the hall’s limited funds. ‘We urge all parents to focus on teaching their children to respect others and others’ property.’

Comment

Malcolm in the middle on climate Volume 24 #18

October 6, 2009

A line in the sand Where do we draw a line in the sand in terms of protecting the coastline? And for whom do we draw the line? For beach lovers? For property owners? For ratepayers? For tourism operators? And is it even possible to draw a constant line when sea level is expected to rise between 90mm and one metre in this century, and possibly up to five metres in the next 300 years, given a global warming of three degrees Celsius? These vexing questions come to the fore again this week when councillors consider exhibiting the draft coastal zone management plan for public comment. Houses all along the eastern seaboard are in jeopardy and there is very little cash-strapped councils can do to ameliorate the impacts of sea level rise in the long term. It will be up to a federal government emergency plan as to whether houses are sacrificed or saved when the impacts of sea level rise really kick in. (For those who doubt the reality of sea level rise: it’s not a problem, then.) In the short term, councils and landowners can work together to protect their properties against seasonal storm surges. It would be good if these resources could be mustered in Byron Shire, and the staff report this week suggests Council ‘may wish to develop an interim soft-protection works policy for private landholders. Any works could be considered via lodgement of a development application‌ Any potential for off-site impacts must be addressed, such as environmental impacts or impacts to adjacent lands.’ Sand nourishment for the Belongil area has been abandoned because of its cost, though beach scraping is being considered for New Brighton and Suffolk Park. According to Council the introduction of hard structures is contrary to the NSW Coastal Policy 1997 ‘which aims to ensure the continued provision and maintenance of public access to beach and foreshore areas’. The sticking point for Belongil residents is that nevertheless Council intends to retain its rock wall at the beach end of Jonson Street, Byron Bay. Social justice or equity has never been a strong point of history – or nature. When the draft CZMP goes on public exhibition, it would be wise for all coastal dwellers to read it and comment. How well the provisions of the final document stand up will more than likely be tested in the courts, as will the provisions of the new shirewide Local Environment Plan. Litigious frenzies aside, it would also be wise to consider how fragile is our grasp on the planet. By the end of this century, some island nations will have their once-inhabited coastlines under water. The recent ‘4 Degrees and Beyond’ conference at Oxford considered the possibility of a sea level rise of two metres even if we manage a zero GHG emission regime. We can do what we can to protect our assets – and our asses – but we can’t always guarantee the outcome, and it is highly unrealistic to think a local council should, or could, solve all our problems. In the meantime councillors and council staff might like to check out a workshop by the Antarctic Climate & Ecosystems Cooperative Research Centre on planning for sea level rise – www. sealevelrise.info. Their position analysis ‘Climate Change, SeaLevel Rise and Extreme Events: Impacts and Adaptation Issues’ is worth reading. – Michael McDonald, editor

all it a brain snap if you like, but it was an entirely understandable one. Malcolm Turnbull had just spent a fortnight in England, a country in which manmade climate change is a given and the need for action accepted by both side of politics. There is ongoing debate about exactly what should be done and how much of it, but no even half-serious politician suggests that standing on the sidelines is an option. Both Labour and the Conservatives agree that there is real problem that requires real policy measures and that if these measures require sacrifices on the part of both industries and consumers, that is a price that has to be paid. Indeed, in some respects Tory leader David Cameron is more radical on the subject than Prime Minister Gordon Brown. So we can assume his conversations with Turnbull on the subject were amiable and supportive. It must have been a refreshing change. And then Turnbull returned to Australia and to headlines claiming that a large majority of his own party room (never mind the Nationals) were adamantly opposed to his policy of negotiating with the government over emissions trading. They wanted to do nothing until at least next years and perhaps indefinitely, a program of concerted inaction. So, finding himself surrounded once again by drongos and knuckle-draggers, Turnbull decided to crash through or crash, as Gough Whitlam, a politician whom Turnbull admires (another reason for his colleagues to distrust him) once put it. Whitlam’s ultimatums, with which he threatened both his

C

party organisation and his caucus critics, were based on the belief that they needed him more than he needed them; that he was the only leader who could take them back to government after more than 20 years in opposition. Turnbull’s position is not nearly as strong – indeed, given the polls, he might even be seen as something of a handicap to the coalition’s chances.

Surrounded once again by drongos and knuckle-draggers, Turnbull decided to crash through or crash‌ by Mungo MacCallum But no-one else wants the job, and the only remotely credible contenders – Tony Abbott and Joe Hockey – have both declared their support both for Turnbull and for his policy on climate change. Thus the likelihood is that Turnbull will prevail, but not that he will win a total victory. He has already admitted that there will be recalcitrants, and that some may cross the floor and vote against him. He dismisses this as a matter for the individuals concerned, but whether his party, and perhaps more importantly the government, will see it that way is another matter. Kevin Rudd has always said that he is willing to talk to Turnbull about amendments to the Emissions Trading Bill only when they have been approved by Turnbull’s party room. The Nationals have more or less locked themselves out already, and there is a hard core of Liberals taking the same line in the name of

room and give them a choice of either voting for a bill they find unacceptable or facing an unwinnable double dissolution, after which the bill will be passed anyway? If the worst comes to the worst, Turnbull could probably deliver enough Liberal senators to get the bill through the senate; he only needs seven Liberal senators out of 32, and he already has six cabinet ministers who are theoretically at least committed. But such a victory would give new meaning to the term Pyrrhic; it would certainly split the coalition, would probably split the Liberal party and would certainly make Turnbull’s leadership untenable. So it might appear that the opposition is having a certain amount of difficulty over climate change – or in other words that it’s a long way up shit creek in a barbed wire canoe without a paddle. This is true, but the situation is not totally without hope.

And when Council won’t do it, well we as property owners should. Controlling nature has worked so well in the past, hasn’t it? Time to be serious. Council and state governments have made numerous mistakes in the past in trying to control nature, only to see the end products being environmental degradation and/or wasted expenditure. I applaud Byron Shire Council for their planned retreat strategy for coastal properties located on high risk coastal erosion sites. Would we expect Council to assist landholders who have knowingly built on floodprone land? I don’t. These are risks that property owners take when they buy land and build houses, especially right next to the ocean or a river. Council is not a scapegoat for a lack of due diligence and risk assessment by property owners. Let’s not blame Council for failing to bail us out of the mess that we bought ourselves into. And let’s stop trying to control nature. Eventually we always lose. M Gordos

aim to live sustainably and self sufficiently as a community in this Shire to share the great difficulties that we face due to planning restrictions. We all live and work professionally in this shire and our children go to school here and we have been looking for the past two years for acreage to create our community. Every time we come across suitable land it is deemed unsuitable by this shire’s planning controls due to the current LEP. Most people we speak to – from private planners and agents to people living already on communities – say not to bother trying in Byron Shire and to go to Lismore or Kyogle Shires where a sustainable project such as ours would be welcomed. Over ten years ago Byron Shire sought and was granted exemption from SEPP15 which is the NSW state government planning law enabling MOs to be considered on rural land over 25 acres. The Shire opted instead for the current LEP that identified only a very

small number of properties around the Shire that would be suitable for community development. Those properties have mostly been sold and those that have not rarely come on the market.

â– Sandmining, folks. Get it into

The amount of people that come to Brunswick Heads for weekends, public holidays, annual and school holidays is numerous, and the amount of money they bring into the town certainly keeps business alive, and yet the toilets have remained the same for I don’t know how many years. As long as I’ve been here and longer. My parents used to bring me here when I was a small child 40 years ago. I cannot see any changes. Doors don’t shut, no toilet lids, toilet paper good for nothing, and only temporary facilities south end of Bruns beach. What about the toilet on the way into Bruns, where the roosters live? I wouldn’t stop there. So what are we paying our rates for? Certainly not the roads. And as for the progress association – what progress? Byron Shire, please do something for our people, and our children. Take notes from other councils that do things for their community, such as clean useable public toilets, parks,

footpaths and even safer roads for people to ride their bikes. How many people have to die before that changes? Suzanne Barton

Mullumbimby â– Byron Shire Council has now

replaced the signage on Brunswick Beach advising of dog restrictions and penalties. That the council has restricted dogs to 400 metres of the beach, I find absurd, considering it is part of the busiest section of the beach most frequented by families and children.

Come on, Council, please extend the dog zone, canines and their companions would be most appreciative of the extra space. Darrel Brown

Council’s planned retreat policy: environmental stewardship of an altered coastal environment, or copout? I feel compelled to write again. I do not fit in to any political party. Yet I am very concerned. I understand that largely, the whole NSW coastline in its natural state had large sand dunes built up over thousands of years which served as a natural barrier to flooding. I understand that the coastline in Byron Shire, like elsewhere, had these sandhills removed through sandmining. We now have a much altered coastal environment. Society is squabbling which is quite predictable when things are not done properly. My two bob’s worth is that if we were stupid enough to allow such sandmining now, a condition of development consent would have to include a requirement to replace this natural barrier between ocean and land with a human made alternative. This presumably would be the narrowest rockwall that is technically feasible and possibly require some beach replenishment given the huge volume of sand removed when sand dunes are mined. There is a responsibility of society to manage an altered environment and I cannot see how Council’s planned retreat policy does this. I call again for a Commission of Inquiry on coastal erosion.

Government’s track record on rail promises a joke ■ The NSW Labor government’s

track record on rail promises and community consultation is a joke. Most recently on ABC Local radio, April 28, Minister said that the line was safe and the corridor was ‘protected’. Yet proposed legislation says that with 30 days notice the land can be sold. The Minister’s own briefing notes support the claim that the true purpose is to sell the land (SMH, September 26, ‘Rail land bill ‘a fire sale for developers’). The government’s so-called Cross Border Task Force report was a three year farce in avoiding consultation and questioning at state and federal levels. It’s sad the NSW government is trying now to split this continued from page 11

The unforeseen result of the LEP is that there has barely been a single communitybased community developed in this shire in the last ten years! What has happened instead is that those properties identified by the LEP as being suitable for community title development have been bought by developers. This has resulted in the price of those properties going up and up so as to be unaffordable to people who want to create sustainable, communitybased communities. Council officers have agreed

community with the words ‘rail trails’. In terms of long-term serious transport options with a growing and ageing population, youth who can’t drive, carbon emission problems, not to mention peak oil, we need our rail. We need both rail and bikes – and cars and buses – working together as an integrated and planned transport system. As a cyclist myself, I well understand the needs of cyclists to have safe corridors and in many places we can share the corridor. In regional Victoria, welltimetabled services are seeing increasing patronage (www. vline.com.au). In Queensland today they are building new rail down to Coolangatta in a new corridor that that the reintroduction of SEPP 15 should be considered, as it is one way of allowing for housing affordability in the shire and for assisting to address illegal rural housing. Aside from my own community plans, I understand there are families in the shire who are being faced with notices to quit from their land because even though these people want to be legal, the planning provisions do not allow them to apply to be legal. The Shire’s planning department currently has nowhere to go in helping these people to become compliant

at huge expense as the old corridor to Tweed Heads was sold in the 1960s. Be very clear. This legislation is about selling the prime rail land here, in Newcastle and parts of Sydney. It will do nothing to improve transport for anyone. Karin Kolbe

President TOOT (Trains on our Tracks) ■ If the imbecilic folk in Macquarie Street are indeed ready to legislate to sell off the rail network, then please, ask them to offer it to Quensland Rail and the Queensland government. Each week I’m stunned at the progress made of the ever southerly reaching Gold

with planning rules. I realise that there is preliminary work on a new Local Growth Management Strategy about to begin, however I understand that it will be years before it is introduced.

Living somewhere I agree with Colin Cook (Letters, September 29) that our economic and taxation systems encourage land speculation which mitigates against adequate affordable housing for our community needs. I await the impending federal tax review recommendations with great interest. The point of my article was that state planning authorities are supposed to be the umpire between communities and land speculators rather than shameless cheerleaders rooting for their rich mates at the expense of social and environmental needs. ‘Parlous and corrosive’ is putting it kindly. Un for tu n ate ly p ar is h churches no longer have the landholdings they had two centuries ago. Their charitable funds barely extend to running aged care facilities and soup kitchens for paupers on their small church grounds. Church and government housing organisations focus their limited resources on the most needy. You must be homeless, severely disabled or mentally ill, drug addled or escaping domestic violence to find asylum with them. There is no room at the inn. Decent people in local, state and federal governments are all that stand between us and the prospect of having one in twenty Australians living on the streets if all illegal dwelling residents are forced from their humble hovels by existing planning laws. Byron Council’s apparent lack of concern for ru-

I must congratulate Basil Cameron and Karen Kolbe for their eloquence and passion in pursuit of reinstating the Murwillumbah/Casino railway. It is sad to see this energy expended upon such a futile project. Reinstating the line to comply with modern safety standards would fail, by an enormous margin, to meet the government financial criteria laid down for the level of investment required. The existing structure would require rebuilding from end to end. Around 147 bridges would have to be demolished and rebuilt to current specifications. Say, conservatively, $5m/bridge Patrick Hobbs X 147, plus a $1/km to relay the Byron Bay track and you are looking at a

serious set of numbers. It will not happen any time soon. However, transforming the existing rail corridor into a multipurpose community track would provide endless opportunities, for locals and visitors alike, to travel around the shire in a non-polluting fashion, safely off road. Such a move would have the additional benefit of retaining the corridor for future transport use, should advanced technology and/or population growth make the proposition financially viable. It would also frustrate the developers who are currently hovering in anticipation.

preme Court last week struck down part of an anti-bikie law because it went against a sacrosanct legal principle. Last year the Federal Court struck down a NSW law which made it an offense to ‘annoy’ Catholic pilgrims because this restriction went against free speech. The Courts have the power to overturn laws which politicians make in haste simply to gain cheap public support. In both these cases ‘legally binding’ laws were rendered invalid because they were ultra vires, that is, beyond the recognised power of the State to make. In my questions to Ray, I asked him whether the contract referred to was within Council’s power to sign. He avoided answering that, so draw your own conclusions. My conclusion is that Council had no power to sign the Deed of Agreement because it would have allowed illegal activity to continue. Ray knows that. The question of ‘legally binding’ regarding holiday letting is in a somewhat different ballpark. Council wanted to amend the LEP so that some people could holiday let in some places, others not. This is a bit like saying ‘some people can rob banks in some places, others not.’ Why this plan could never become legally binding, even temporarily, is that the LEP becomes law only when the Department of Planning endorses it, and then it becomes the Department’s law too. No way of course was the Department going to be a party to breaking its own planning laws. However, not wishing to offend the rich and powerful, it fudged the issue the way I described in last week’s Echo. Bureaucrats, don’t you love ’em?

a pneumonia-induced coma almost three months ago and was kept from crossing to the other side by the very efficient and expensive medical teams in ICU at Tweed Heads hospital, and rehabbed in Murwillumbah hospital where I learnt to breathe and walk and do the things we take for granted. That took a month or so to get to a state where I could be released to a low care facility here in Mullumbimby. My problem is accommodation and I have renewed my application to the Housing Commission, and applied for priority housing due to extreme medical condition. I will have to be on an oxygen bottle for the rest of my life. So here I am in a $700+ per day hospital bed and denying a bona fide patient the bed space and the Housing Commission tells me I will have to wait a year or so before I can be housed. I know the housing commission is capable of renting a private unit/house and giving it to me on a subsidised rent, but because of the lack of departmental communication this will not happen. Seems like the government departments do not communicate with each other for some reason. What a waste. I take up in one week the wages of more than seven nurses. What a waste. It should be against the law – it is criminal.

Coast rail extension. Imagine, a high speed tilt train running from Casino to Murwillumbah, there changing to the northern guage line for the 130kmh trip to Brisbane with links to Coolangatta and Brisbane airports and the whole network our northern neighbours enjoy. At the rate they are building, they will be at the border within a few years. The benefits would flow for generations. With 300,000 residents relocating to Brisbane each year, the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions achieved purely by having the service available would be enormous.

ral residents is self-defeating if green voters are hounded from the Shire by zealous Council officers. Fortunately developers only get one vote each, just like the rest of us at election time. Governments have choices here. Business as usual will result in a million homeless paupers across the nation, several thousand in Byron Shire alone. Laws can be changed to allow both urban and rural affordable housing by purchase, subdivision, long-term leasehold or rental without ruining the environment or reasonable landholder returns. Everybody has to live somewhere every night. Margaret Clarke

Legally binding? Ray Darney, Council’s Director of Planning, has admitted in writing that he sought no legal advice from Council’s lawyers over a controversial contract which he put before the Councillors late in August. In your dreams; he’s a bureaucrat and therefore admits nothing. What he said was: ‘the Deed of Agreement was prepared by a Solicitor experienced in environmental law to ensure all legal ramifications were considered.’ What he doesn’t say is that the solicitor he’s talking about was not Council’s lawyer, but one representing the private party who wanted the contract signed. Bewdy, Ray; so you’re gonna save Council millions in legal fees by relying on the developers’ lawyers and leaving Council’s own lawyers out of it? Well done, mate! Ross Tucker himself couldn’t have done better. The other interesting aspect of Ray’s letter is that he reckons the contract would have been ‘legally binding’, thereby refuting my belief that it would have been invalid. In a sense Ray’s right; a contract, or a regulation, or a law is binding unless or until a tribunal or court strikes it down. The South Australian Su-

Woolworths, the future, and us We had a great gathering of community on Monday for the Land and Environment Court site inspection and hearing of submissions from locals. At last the Mallams and pro-Woolies mob showed up and participated; many spoke out and stayed and listened to the issues raised by the Senior Counsel Tim Robertson. This marks a turning point in the issue; as we share our concerns we can look for common ground and find what’s important to us all. What concerns me about the future is the possibility of our town relying on the Woolworths oil-dependent monoculture, with the end of the cheap oil era being just around the corner. We have a triple crisis looming – energy, climate change and food. They are all connected. The global retail model of industrial food is a worry because it depends on the abundance of cheap oil. Oil-based petroleum products are used to grow the food (fertilisers, pesticides and fungicides), to harvest the food, to transport the food to and from the Sydney distribution centre, to pack the food, and petroleum products even go inside the food in the form of flavourings, preservatives and colours. More petroleumbased hormones and antibiotics are put into animals. What will we do when the oil shock comes? Woolworths have their plan in place: diversity! They’ve diversified into

As these people probably do not read The Echo, then an offering of any sort of verbal retribution would be pointless, yet there must be someone who is familiar with the perpetrators. Please let someone know, even anonymously. This hurts our local community and we need to support each other in the preservation of our local amenities.

Guess what! The fact that Council was correct in July is not the issue. By November, the Court may approve a different OSMS design. So it’s not really an appeal‌ it’s a new application. The appeal process is bent in favour of developers, just like the NSW planning system in general, and Part 3A in particular (the one that takes DAs to Sydney for more sympathetic treatment, with no appeal by objectors). Thank Nathan Rees, Frank Sartor and Kristina Keneally for that. If anyone is still breathing at the next NSW election in 2011, let’s get rid of Labor.

Splendour DA Readers who are following the attempts by Splendour in the Grass to establish a permanent festival site at Yelgun will be interested to learn of some misleading information posted on the North Byron Shire Parklands website. The statement in question is this: ‘On 6 May 2009 Justice Brian Preston found fault with Council’s technical processing of the application and revoked Byron Shire Council’s approval for the trial event. He said that Council should have issued consent for both use of roads and a place of assembly, whereas they only issued consent for a place of assembly.’ In fact, the roads were clearly

part of the DA that Council approved. Actually, that was a key issue. The judge found that the proposed roads were an integral part of the proposed place of assembly, and because a place of assembly is not allowed by law in a 7(k) habitat zone, the roads were not allowed by law. That’s why the judge declared Council’s approval of the DA to be ‘invalid and of no effect’; as he pointed out, Council could not rightly approve illegal development. Furthermore, the judge cautioned that any future proposed roads on the property would have to be for a legal purpose and ‘not subordinated to the purpose of place of assembly’ (clause 71 of the decision). The issues at stake in the case thus did not have to do with ‘technical processing’ of the DA or with an omitted approval but with the legality of the proposed development, and the same issues and caveats are relevant to the DA that is now before the NSW Department of Planning.

health of our town, Mallam’s staff in their company uniforms had to take their company-made signs and return to work. I hope they were paid for the two hours they had to take off or would that be seen as ‘Woolworths’ Rent-a-Crowd’? On a visit to the Lismore Shopping Square the same afternoon, I saw six automatic checkouts being staffed by one woman in the Woolworths store. If Woolworths come to Mullumbimby they would need only one person to staff as many checkouts as we now have in our two supermarkets, the three in Mallams and the three in Dennetts and Woolworths don’t carry bags to the car either. Where will jobs be then? Woolworths are a massive monopoly; they got that way by destroying opposition and then putting their prices up. They and Coles (between them) control 80% of the trade but they don’t employ 80% of that workforce. Every shop in Mullumbimby should have a sign in the window saying: ‘Save Our Jobs (and business). Say no to Woolworths’. Not only are Mallams’ staff at risk but also those who work in the butcher, baker, chemist, fruit shop, pool shop, petrol station, etc, etc. More and more people now realise that greedy Woolworths destroys small towns and makes mega profits.

over President Obama’s announcement to cancel the deployment of SM-3 interceptor missiles in Poland and a radar base in the Czech Republic but that soon waned with the realisation that instead of groundbased interceptors, the US was using sea-based missiles aboard Aegis warships. Nineteen months ago these were found capable of shooting down a satellite. Increasingly, war is orchestrated from space by remote satellite sensors which downlink to bases like Pine Gap in central Australia. So-called “cyber-warriors� can be there on the battlefield in real time even though located thousands of kilometres away. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), controlled from space, assassinate Afghani and Pakistani citizens. There is nothing surgical about these robotic kill missions Not so long ago, UAV pilots used joysticks to control UAVs, emulating a video game. Now they use Google Earth on touch screens to point to a location they want a robot plane to bomb. Within a year, those Google Earth applications will be available for special iPhones and Blackberries made for US troops. And all those means of delivering death use space. Many of the war-fighter tools that are employed from space also take advantage of the Pentagon’s new cyber-warrior tools, which have culminated in the establishment of a dedicated Cyber Command to control computer networks here and abroad. For Keep Space for Peace Week, we urge activists throughout the world to examine closely the claims for ‘sanitising’ warfare. We urge citizens to not be swayed into thinking that a war allowing more invisible means of killing others is somehow one that can be accepted better than bloody battles on the ground. Space is the ultimate commons, and no one has the right to dominate the planet through unilateral control. Gareth Smith

A wondrous bird is the pelican Story & photo Mary Gardner

8284BSE

The pelican and I amiably sat in the sun together for fifteen minutes or more. When I had walked over the sand, it flew down the creek towards me. It landed and waddled over to me without hesitation as if I was a long lost friend. Unbelieving, I looked around to see what I was overlooking that attracted the bird. I was abashed to see there was nothing around but me. I sat down and so did the bird. We basked in the brilliant morning sun, turning our heads this way and that. Sometimes, the bird yawned, turning its pouch half inside out, pressing the loose skin against its breast. Its tongue was very small. Then it stood up and flew away. I was left with photos on my camera and a sudden torrent of questions. Unexpectedly, I had met a real star. Every fan knows the feeling. My mind went blank and I couldn’t think of a thing to say. Now, everybody knows the personal details of pelicans. Of seven species in the world, there is only one in Australia. These large water birds can be around two metres in length, with a wingspan of three metres. They can weigh up to thirteen kilograms and only 10% of that is its skeleton. Its bill is the longest of any bird and the capacity of its pouch is 13 litres. Everybody knows how they fly, soaring on thermals and air currents. They can stay aloft for twenty four hours. They go wherever they please. And their choice is to go to the water, wherever that may be. ‘Were you at Lake Eyre in May?’ I wanted to ask. ‘The chick you raised there – where did it fly?’ Scientists from the University of NSW estimated up to 60,000 pelicans were nesting in colonies over some 600kms of waterways in the Lake Eyre catchment. The pelicans, among other birds, were there en masse to glory in the first waters since 2002 to reach the salt lake. The pelicans, needing about

nine kilograms of food a day, find plenty of fast growing food in these temporary waters. The birds fish as a group: they circle the fish, herding them to the shallows. There, they easily scoop up their prey. The flash of water also triggers pelican mating. A female selects from a retinue of interested males. The pair make quite a display of their partnership, waving their wings and bills in greeting as they take turns tending the nest with its two eggs. They favour the first hatchling; the second one usually dies. In a couple of months, the youngster joins a crèche and begins fishing for itself. This past winter’s breeding season may boost the population of pelicans throughout the country. The numbers at Lake Eyre are down from known counts in the past. Usually, the pelicans would congregate to breed in the Murray Darling catchment. But between the years of drought and irrigation, there hasn’t been that flush of water for breeding. Many birds have given several seasons a miss. I could have asked ‘how do you like Lake Eyre?’ This is the world’s fifth largest lake. Its 9,500 square kilometres are now dry salt pan, fifteen metres below sea level. It is fed by rivers which only flow every

decade or so. The basin only fills once in a century. Some fifty million years ago, as Australia drifted apart from Antarctica, it bumped into the lands now known as Papua New Guinea. The slow shock forced up the Great Escarpment and West Australia Plateau. This forced rivers to change directions, creating Lake Eyre. About 45 million years ago, the area was subtropic. Its vegetation was what Lamington National Park is now: brush box rainforest. Fossils from that time found in the area include pelicans. The most urgent questions I could have asked come last. ‘How do you know to go there?’ There is no explaining how pelicans from all over Australia migrate over a thousand kilometres to Lake Eyre for the rare season it is wet. How do they know that the west Queensland rivers flooded earlier in the year? Migrating birds appear to use sun or stars or magnetic fields to fix their sights. Flocks also count on being guided by their senior members. Australian pelicans are an ongoing example of how adaptable a migration habit can be. I heard through the news about the water flowing to the

lake. I didn’t get to travel there and see. But by August, the waters were drying off. Very fine sediments washed from all those flooded farms, mines and towns were left on the lake surface. In a process practised over centuries, these joined the dust of our recent storms. Richard Kingsford, a key scientist of the Lake Eyre Basin, urges all the state and federal governments to make the area a heritage site and jointly manage the largely unmodified waterways. Right away, before it is degraded like the Murray Darling Catchment. The taste of that desert dust is still in my mouth. At the height of the storm, the particles, less than ten micrometres in size, were at a density 75 times over the hazard limits. They are now in the deepest air pockets of my lungs, lodged there for the rest of my life. Not just mine; they are in every lung, mammal, reptile and bird. In wealth and in health, they are our badge of community. Many Aboriginals say that pelicans were human once. One last question! ‘Can we, somehow, for a while, be pelican? So we can learn?’

Dojo stages aikido festival NAB gives $50K for youth project Story & photo Victoria Cosford

It was an annual Aikido seminar this year with a difference. Three internationally renowned masters of the martial arts were present to conduct teachings throughout the week-long festival. Held in the grounds of Temple Byron in Byron Bay, it attracted about 120 people from all over Australia as well as New Zealand and the UK. Founder of Aikido Yuishinkai (its full title) Master Koretoshi Maruyama comes to Byron Bay most years, but it was the first time for Taiki Okajima sensei; both men had travelled from Japan for the event. The third guest teacher, ex -local Michael Williams, had relocated to Fiji but will in fact be returning permanently to the area. The purpose-built dojo at Temple Byron was the venue for the week’s activities during which participants learnt new techniques and consolidated old ones. It’s a full program, with classes consuming both morning and afternoon. ‘We have to pace ourselves a bit’, Byron-based head dojo instructor Jim Nicholls confided to The Echo, smiling. White tunics arranged themselves in rows in the lofty room cooled by overhead fans, distinguished by the different coloured belts and a sprinkling of the heavyduty black-belters, men and women in long black pleated trousers. A representation of all ages, shapes and sizes began the warm-up exercises under the guidance of the elderly Maruyama. Feet shuffling and ro-

tating, hands clapping, bodies twisting from side to side, the gentle chant-like instructions from Maruyama leading the participants through their exercises, a sussuration of soles being rubbed then bodies rising, falling, rolling and repeating it again and again and again. Ewingsdale resident Elizabeth Andel, one of the event’s organisers, is a 69-year old black belt who has been practising Aikido for 15 years. She explained the mystifying movements to The Echo, making sense of it all: stretching, warmups, body coordination – all of it preparation. It’s all about the centre, she said – centreing ‘so the body is stable.’ ‘If you think of the centre of a dish you are drying’, she

went on, ‘it will never fall out of your hand...Your mind has to be in your centre, then you will be balanced and you will keep your balance and cause the other person to lose theirs.’ Aikido is about positive mind and harmony, enabling people from all walks of life to remain calm in the midst of chaos. By training in this gentle and refined martial art people are able to develop self-defence skills as well as discover harmony within themselves, others and the environment. And in the evenings turn back into regular people with activities like the Beach Hotel, the Rails, a birthday party and a barbecue to reward themselves with.

16 October 6, 2009 The Byron Shire Echo

The far north coast has achieved its greatest ever representation in this year’s $35,000 Country Energy Art Prize for Landscape Painting, Countryscapes. Of the record 49 works selected from across country and coastal NSW to contest the 2009 prize, 21 are by far north coast artists. Twelve artists from the Byron Shire are in the running. Mullumbimby finalists are Melitta Perry, Graham Potts, Robyn Sweaney and Geoffrey Williams; Byron Bay finalists are Timothy Field, Jan Rae, Lynne Wallis and Kaye Wearne; from Bangalow, finalists are Clare Hopkins and Karena Wynn-Moylan, and others are Anthony Leitch from Rosebank, Angus McDonald from Lennox Head, Susan Jacobsen from Ballina and Darren Porter from Brunswick Heads. The winner of Countryscapes will be announced on Thursday November 5 at the Lismore Regional Gallery, with all finalists exhibited at the venue from November to December 12.

An award recognising the impact of distance education on young people in the Byron Shire has just been presented to the Southern Cross Distance Education Centre. In recognition of the outstanding community partnership the Centre has developed with Byron Youth Services – Community Campus, the $50,000 Schools First Local Impact Award was donated by NAB and formally handed over by one of the bank’s representatives at a special morning tea. Schools First, an initiative of NAB in conjunction with The Foundation for Young Australians and the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER), is a three-year commitment by these organisations to acknowledge and promote excellence in school/ community partnerships. This particular partnership is a collaboration between Mullumbimby High School, Byron Bay High School, TAFE and NORTEC, and its aim is to sustain students through an alternative approach to education. These are students for whom mainstream schooling is not an op-

disadvantaged students, travelling or transitory students, juvenile justice offenders and mentally ill students. The awards presentation was introduced by David Cox, deputy principal in charge of the Distance Education Centre at SCU in Ballina. ‘What we’ve achieved,’ he said, ‘has been a great thing.’ Mullumbimby High School deputy principal Richard Heazelwood-Ross then addressed the small audience, relating the origins of the program back to 2003 when the ‘special circumstances’ in the Byron Shire of a 37% unemployment rate combined with the prevalence of young people dropping out of school created the recognition of a need ‘for something in a constructive manner’ to be done. Over the years different strategies and models were tried out but kept grinding to a halt due to lack of funding. ‘We all knew that education was the passport to success,’ he said,’ and we came up with a commitment to support every kid in the Byron Shire with an education.’ In 2006 both the Southern

tre and TAFE ‘came on board’; by the following year the program was firmly in place, with CD-ROMs and onsite supervised tutorial sessions. It has been, he said, ‘really successful’: out of ‘50 students who would have been out there struggling to get jobs and who have been through the program, five have graduated and 17 are sitting for their school certificates...’ With the award, ‘we can make this fly even more, and support those people that really need help.’ Mayor Jan Barham then offered her congratulations to NAB for sponsoring the program, the young people who went through it and all the behind-the-scenes management committees and support groups. An enormous cake was cut and devoured. Schools First is based on evidence that indicates strong school/community partnerships can make a significant difference to outcomes for young people, including increased skills and greater engagement with learning. Over 800 applications were received nationally for the Impact awards this year.

Rainbow Dragons celebrate fifth year You may have seen the women dressed in pink paddling in a dragon boat on beautiful Lake Ainsworth on Sunday mornings. They are survivors of breast cancer who, along with their supporters, put a human face to the breast cancer statistics. They remind us just how common this disease is, how many lives it affects. They also remind us that there is life after breast cancer and it is to be enjoyed. Rainbow Dragons Abreast is now five years old. The inspiration for a local dragon boat team for breast cancer survivors in our region came from Barb Pinter of Byron Bay. Following her diagnosis of breast cancer in 2001, Barb went to Brisbane for treatment and to be with her family. There she met Missabitatitti, the Dragons Abreast team on the Brisbane

<echowebsection=Articles>

River. In 2003, she met Prof. Don McKenzie, founder of the Canadian ‘Abreast in a Boat’ and Michelle Hanton, founder of Dragons Abreast Australia. Barb was fired up. John Mills at the Department of Sport and Recreation embraced the cause and made space for a boat and equipment. Lennox Head Lions Club took up the quest for a boat and presented the Dragons’ case to their regional meeting. In June, 2006 a new boat was delivered and was launched with great

ceremony at the lake. QUOTA Alstonville/Wollongbar, Winter Whales of Byron Bay, and Curves Ballina/ Lismore and many, many have helped bring the dream to fruition, along with Lismore, Ballina, and Byron councils. A ‘pink’ dinner party on October 10 will mark the fifth anniversary and all former members of Rainbow Dragons Abreast are invited.

Healthy Eating: Here are some tips for how to choose foods that improve your health and avoid foods that raise your risk for illnesses while creating a diet plan that works for you.

Healthy Eating

Eat enough calories but not too many. Maintain a balance between your calorie intake and calorie expenditure – that is, don’t eat more food than your body uses. The average recommended daily allowance is 2,000 calories, but this depends on your age, sex, height, weight, and physical activity. Eat a wide variety of foods. Healthy eating is an opportunity to expand your range of choices by trying foods – especially vegetables, whole grains, or fruits – that you don’t normally eat. Keep portions moderate, especially high-calorie foods. In recent years serving sizes have ballooned, particularly in restaurants. Choose a starter instead of an entrÊe, split a dish with a friend, and don’t order supersized anything.

Eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, grains, and legumes – foods high in complex carbohydrates, ďŹ bre, vitamins, and minerals, low in fat, and free of cholesterol. Try to get fresh, local produce. Drink more water. Our bodies are about 75% water. It is a vital p ush our part of a healthy diet. Water helps systems, especially the kidneys and bladder, of waste products and toxins. A majority of Australians go through life dehydrated.

Limit sugary foods, salt,, and reďŹ ned-grain products. Sugar is added to a vast array of foods. In a year, just one daily 12-ounce can of soda (160 calories) can n increase your weight by 7.5kg.. See suggestions below for limiting salt and substituting whole grains for reďŹ ned grains. Don’t be the food police.. You can enjoy your favourite sweets and fried foods in moderation, as long as they are an occasional part of yourr overall healthy diet. Food is a great source of pleasure, and pleasure is good for the heart – t! even if those French fries aren’t! Get moving. A healthy diet improves your energy and feelings of well-being while reducing your risk of many diseases. Adding regular physical activity and exercise will make any healthy eating plan work even better. One step at a time. Establishing new food habits is much easier if you focus on and take action on one food group or food fact at a time.

Sunforest Organic Farm

Is where we grow white turkeys on the red soil just behind Byron Bay. Our turkeys live in open-air paddocks free-ranging on green pasture that has been certiďŹ ed organic since 2004. Sunforest turkeys are enthusiastic grazers foraging on Byron’s ďŹ nest Kikuyu grass for about 4 hours of each day, while gobbling down their main meal, which comes from a mix of certiďŹ ed organic grains. Sunforest ocks are subject to the natural elements of wind, sun and rain. Our turkeys have strong constitutions, can seek shelter and thrive in our variable climate. Our ocks are protected against foxes and birds of prey by big white uffy Maremma guard dogs. Further up the food chain, our customers can cook and eat turkey meat which has a delicious taste and is lean and healthy. Sunforest organic products, including cut meat, is sold locally at the Sunforest stall at the Byron Farmers Market every Thursday morning. Whole organic turkeys are also available at local butchers in Bangalow, Mullumbimby, Burringbar and Murwillumbah.

Sunforest is proud to be an environmentally sustainable and humane farming operation that produces healthy livestock that are great to eat. For all enquiries contact Matthew Jamieson 02 6684 7074 (not too late) or email matthew@ sunforest.com.au (any time)

Your household’s carbon footprint

My grandmother lived through 2 world wars, she never wasted anything because she understood what it meant to be without food, warmth and security. She taught me the importance of conserving our resources. These days we live abundant lives, partly because we are living off the resources of the future. I’m fortunate to be working as an independent assessor doing free home sustainability assessments, and I get to help lots of different people to ďŹ nd out where and how they can easily make savings, in energy, water and money.

Trust Organic is the name given to a fortnight (October 2 - 18) of awareness on organic standards and other issues, with particular focus on their relationship to climate change. Sponsored by the Organic Federation of Australia (OFA), it will also constitute the launching pad for the OFA's Australian Government climate change project which will see workshops in every state and territory from 2009 to 2011. It has been proven that in the UK 20% of greenhouse gas emissions come from food and farming – thereby rendering the choice of organic (and seasonal) food as a fundamental step in reducing the carbon footprint. Organic farming, sometimes referred to as Biological or Ecological Farming, uses nature rather than industrial processes, thereby requiring less energy to produce food. Organic matter and soil biology are used to nourish crops as opposed to energy-intensive fertilisers. Being a local production system guarantees the reduction of 'food miles' by eliminating most of the transport of fertiliser, pesticides, much animal feed and veterinary drugs. In addition, the use in organic farming of organic matter results in a build-up of carbon in the soil; when released back into the atmosphere through non-organic farming practices it converts to carbon dioxide pollutant. This concept of carbon neutral farming is something towards which the more innovative farmers are heading. Numerous studies have shown that carbon dioxide emissions from organic farming are 40 - 60% lower per hectare than from conventional farming systems. Alternative energy options must also be considered within this context – solar power, wind turbines and biofuel being three workable examples.

During Trust Organic's fortnight, there will be workshops and conferences featuring the latest scientiďŹ c research on organic growing, composts and the effect on climate change. In a nutshell (organic, naturally), organic agriculture has been scientiďŹ cally proven to be 30 - 40 % more 'climate-friendly' than conventional agriculture ; it is the only viable and intelligent direction we can take.

my grandparents tilled the soil with horse and plough and used no chemicals or sprays to produce an abundance of food. Synthetic fertilisers, herbicides and pesticides were unknown then. Then came the war with its death and destruction and our farm returned to pasture. People went in different directions.

Barambah Organics is a true paddock to plate company. The certiďŹ ed organic dairy farm is located on the banks of the picturesque Dumaresq river on the border of NSW/QLD. There the cows graze under the river red gum trees and are glowing with good health. The fresh milk is brought to the factory in Brisbane where the passionate Barambah team wield their magic and produce a range of highly awarded dairy products. Barambah Organics is renowned for its yoghurts, creams, bottled fresh milk and tasty cheeses.

The end of the war also saw the destruction of agriculture traditions and the spread of chemical farming so that today we now call this new farming tradition ‘conventional’ agriculture. So ingrained is chemical farming in some peoples psyche that they cannot comprehend how disease/insect free produce can be grownwithout chemicals. If it looks perfect and organic there must be something wrong! As organic stallholders we often hear such sentiment.

Mavis’s Kitchen 64 Mt Warning Rd, Mt Warning

Ten years ago our farm returned to organic production of food and I am one of the certiďŹ ed organic stallholders at the local farmers markets. All the stallholders provide a high quality of produce which is testament to the fact that chemicals are not needed to grow good food/ produce. With global climate change, a looming nutrient crisis in agriculture (due to exhausting supplies)’ a return to organic (or ‘unconventional’) farming is inevitable.

9E88 MULLUM MUSIC FEST TICKETS To celebrate tickets going on sale for Mullumbimby Music Festival November 26 – 29 we have two single weekend passes to give to two lucky readers who email me on gigs@ echo.net.au with subject header ‘on the Mullum’.

LOVELETTERS FOR FREE We have double passes to see Loveletters with Aaron Jeffery and Bridie Carter at the Byron Community Centre on Saturday 31 October and Sunday November 1. This Broadway classic is touching, funny and thought provoking as it’s a deeply moving story about a boy and a girl who meet and become linked forever in mind, heart and spirit. Email gigs@echo.net. au with subject header ‘loveletter loveletter’.

Here Comes The Sun... Chase The Sun get ready to shine a little light on the Court House Hotel, Mullum when they perform on Saturday October 17. Their latest single release is Princess. It’s about that kind of insecure chick who always has to be the centre of attention, bitches about her friends and generally believes she’s better than everyone else. What do you think sets your live shows apart? ‘The style of music we play has been around for a while in one form or another but there doesn’t seem to be that many bands around at the moment playing it. We try to be real with whatever we play; it’s tight but also kind of loose, it’s got a lot to do with the blues but we don’t really play much traditional blues, it’s more like a rock show. Also we don’t

really put much showbiz into the act, some one said at a gig last night, “You don’t say much but you sure can play guitar�. I’m not sure if that’s good or bad, it’s just how it is.’ How was the recording process for Rednecks and Gentlemen? We went and recorded on 2� tape this time around and it seems to have captured the sound of the band a lot better than digital so we went in and just played it live, the good thing about recording on tape is that you have to commit – it’s not like “Oh, we can fix that later� and it was refreshing not looking at a computer screen all day. Most of the tunes have been in the live show for a while so we knew what we were trying to capture.’ Did the album turn out like you expected?

‘We’re still going on recording the album, should be finished end of October. The tracks we’ve finished sound really fantastic, we’re stoked. ‘ What are the highlights for you? ‘Getting all our friends to come in and sing on a couple of tracks was awesome, bit of a party to break up the status quo. Also working with engineer/producer David Skeet was tops, he really brought the right vibe to the table. The big highlight for me so far was the track Living Free Part 2. Jan just sat down one night and played and sang it in one take, we’d never even heard it before.’ Chase The Sun are joined by Marshall and the Fro and if you miss the gig at the Court House Hotel catch them at Shaw’s Bay Hotel in Ballina on Sunday 18 October.

Every festival has its blue ribbon event. At Adelaide Festival it’s the opening night cabaret, at Melbourne Comedy Festival it’s the Gala Comedy night and at our very own Mullum Music Festival it’s the Opening Night Gala Performance. Opening Night is a chance to catch the best of the fest, to see your favourite artist in a cabaret setting, collaborating and creating in the spirit of community created by that magical phenomenon we call ‘festival.’ With performances by Australia’s leading jazz vocalist Vince Jones who will be joined on stage by Matt McMahon. Also appearing will be Lucie Thorne and Hamish Stuart, Sal Kimber & The Rollin Wheel, M Jack Bee, Ange Takats, Leah Flanagan, Domini Forster and some very special surprise

guests. With spontaneity the order of the day, then who better to be Master of the Creation Station than the Prince of Ping Pong, the red suited raconteur Mr Joel Salom. Thursday November 26 at the Mullumbimby Civic Hall. Tix are limited and are $40/20. Hotline 6684 6195.

You Wonder! The Lucky Wonders are building momentum fast, with two singles finished at Rocking Horse last week. Lucky as always, they had Ben Franz from The Waifs in the studio to play bass and lap steel on their upcoming album. The two tracks are up on their myspace for all to hear www.myspace. com/theluckywonders. Thursday night sees them team up with double bass legend Brent Calcutt and support from freshly returned Felicity Burdett. Dolphin Award winner Felicity Burdett (The Love Bus) is back in Byron after six months touring and songwriting around Australia. See the girls doing their magic, at The Rails at 7pm.

As a workshop exercise I asked the participants to brainstorm all the words and phrases that people used inappropriately, or insensitively around mental illness. How many words are there for crazy? It was an indication that when it comes to normalising mental illness we still have a lot of work to do. We make references to being mentally unwell as regularly in a conversation as we ask for a cup of tea. ‘Oh it was so busy at the shop… it was MAD!

I suddenly became aware of how often I just drop it into my daily speech ‘you kids are driving me crazy’. ‘If you do that one more time I’m going to lose it’. ‘You won’t be happy until they take Mummy away in a straightjacket.’ Maybe, just maybe, our constant cultural streaming of how we can’t cope, how crazy everything makes us, how we are just so stressed out, is a reminder that each and everyone of us is completely and utterly nuts. It’s not one in five who suffer at some time from mental illness. It’s everyone. Being nuts is normal. Just don’t tell anyone.

Television Guide 1. It would have to be Tommy Lee Jones as the chief investigator in the thriller US Marshals (NBN, Friday, 8.30pm). 2. Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn, left and right of picture, crash weddings, as the name of The Wedding Crashers (NBN, Saturday, 9.30pm) suggests, in the noble cause of picking up chicks. Sure enough, they actually learn something about life and love. Despite the plot, it is a cut above similar comedies. 3. One beautiful documentary series ends, another begins. Ganges: Daughter Of The Mountains (ABC1, Sunday, 7.30pm) explores how the mighty river has shaped the wildlife, culture and beliefs of India.

The first Grand Slam event of the 2009/10 cycle, the Pearl Spring super-tournament, is underway in Nanjing, China and it seems as if this may be a new breakthrough tournament for Norwegian teenager Magnus Carlsen (pictured below). Of course Carlsen, the world number four, has been a top class player since he became a Grandmaster at 13 but in Nanjing Carlsen, now 18, appears to have stepped up another level.

ARIES: If the weekend’s annual Aries full moon fired up feelings concerning partnerships or family matters, this week recommends the Venus/love path over the Mars/warrior route, no matter how much you might think others are at fault. You do have your own tiny flaws too, remember?

G-Force Gawd this is awful. It might be good in 3D (as is intended), otherwise it only confirms the prejudice that many of us have towards anything produced by Jerry Bruckheimer.

BRUCE WILLIS

SURROGATES FINAL 7 DAYS

Shuffled off to a pet store, they meet up with other rodents voiced by famous people – Penelope Cruz does a sexy Spanish guinea pig, Steve Buscemi is Bucky and Nicholas Cage is Speckles the mole. They are given one last chance to prove their worth, with an assignment to thwart the dastardly Leonard Saber (Nighy) and foil his plan to take over the planet with his programmed army of household appliances. You don’t really want to hear any more, do you? It’s a pity if you do, because I gave up on the plot when I realised I was sitting in a roomful of ten year-olds and their perspiring parents who didn’t have a clue what was going on either. The movie races along at warp speed and without a moment that is unaccompanied by loud music. I got the distinct impression that the kids were not exactly held in its thrall (there were more trips to the dunny than is usual and one lady with a tattooed bluebird flying across the top of her right tit had the very devil of a time keeping her disgruntled child from squealing all the way through – three boys behind her got the hump and moved seats), and there was precious little laughter. Not that it is spruiked as a comedy – action/adventure is its category. There is an early fart joke (and a later one) that involves the perpetrator saying ‘I love the smell of napalm in the morning’, a line surely not written for the target audience. The most memorable response to anything came from the three boys who’d fled the howling bub. Happily ensconced in the second row, they so dug it when the FBI’s ginormous black 4x4, in pursuit of our furry heroes, flew through the air in slo-mo and came crashing down on a caravan, smashing it to matchsticks. Don’t know if there was anyone in it. ~ John Campbell

Young Victoria The Young Victoria tells the story of a queen thrust onto the throne of England when she was only just 18 years of age. That was the fate of Queen Victoria, brought to life on screen by director Jean-Marc Vallee with a screenplay by

★ COMING SOON ★ BALIBO, BEAUTIFUL KATE, YOUNG VICTORIA, COUPLES RETREAT ★ <echowebsection=Cinema> www.echo.net.au

Julian Fellowes. Emily Blunt plays the young Victoria, protected from birth from the outside world by her mother the Duchess of Kent – Miranda Richardson – and by her mother’s advisor Sir John Conroy – Mark Strong. But it’s the politics of Europe that envelop the future Queen as the German side of her family vie for influence over her, as they try to set up a marriage with Prince Albert – Rupert

Friend. With deft skill, the film faithfully recreates a golden period when a teenager shouldered her birthright and fell in love with a German prince. Emily Blunt (The Devil Wears Prada) magically assumes the role, revealing a vulnerable, burgeoning heart, a cheerful sense of loyalty, and enough back-bone to govern her realm – all wrapped up in one eye-catching performance. ~ Lounge Cinema

myself agreeing with Cynthia (Penne Hackforth-Jones), one of his American sponsors, when they are hauled in to front the Chinese Consul. ‘I can’t believe you would be so selfish,’ she says in exasperation, for he has risked the safety of his family and jeopardized all of the years of ambassadorial work done by his US benefactors. He takes advantage of his gifts to the max and has little mind for the consequences of his ambition – is individualism all there is? Cynthia gets the other memorable line, gasping ‘how can he learn Don Quixote in three hours?’, at which point the doting audience can barely refrain from crying ‘easy as, Cynthia, easy as!’ Some external shots are recognizably Sydneyas-Houston and Chi Cao is rather wooden in the role, but he’s cute, the dancing bits are good and, as it is in heaven, it’s all served up with dollops of gooey mayo. ~ John Campbell

Jeannette’s heart was as large as the woman herself. Evidence of an adolescence spent on a catwalk was still discernible on a face whose perfectly symmetrical features were highlighted by impeccably applied makeup; the rest of her massive bulk she tidied away beneath flowing floral fabrics. Her generosity was the thing, however, you really noticed, her greatest beauty. Jeannette would invite me around for a drink. On the table would repose an entire side of smoked salmon. ‘How many other people did you invite?’ I asked, the first time it happened.

‘Oh, only you’, she would reply.

All that smoked salmon was really too much. As a child one of my fantasies was to be dropped into the Cadbury’s factory in Tasmania and be left there; in a sense, drinks at Jeannette’s offered that same level of unbridled, undisciplined license to gluttony. The accoutrements were there as well: the dish of tiny capers, the sprigs of dill, a breadstick neatly sliced into soft rounds, a bowl of cream cheese and lemon wedges and a pepper grinder.

slice of smoked salmon was a realisation which arrived accompanied by a sort of dull and heavy sadness. As if there was nothing to look forward to again.) It is a delicacy. Usually the fillet of the fish, it is first cured then smoked, mostly by cold-smoking it (at 37ËšC). This method means that the salmon will not be cooked and that it remains moist and succulent but still delicate: slices of smoked salmon should fold and drape with grace. While not a difficult procedure, do-it-yourself smoked salmon does require a smoker, as well as top quality, spankingly fresh fish. First it

It is probably as well that, having left that city behind, I have also left behind that particular experience. Some things should remain in the realm of luxury, rarity and moderation, and smoked salmon is one. (Suddenly not wanting to eat another

Gravlax is sometimes confused with smoked salmon. This Scandinavian dish – the word comes from ‘grav’ meaning grave and ‘lax’ meaning salmon – consists of raw salmon which has only been cured, cured in a mixture of

salt and sugar and dill, and it derives from the medieval practice of curing fish by burying it in the sand above the level of high tide. Making gravlax is a lot easier than making smoked salmon: 4 tablespoons each of coarse sea salt and sugar and a large bunch of dill are sprinkled over the fish before it is tightly wrapped and left, refrigerated, for a couple of days. At that point, it may be sliced, draped and folded across yeasty little blini or wholemeal bread or rye or even soft rounds of breadstick every bit as gracefully as if it had been smoked.

BUYING SEAFOOD SUSTAINABLY Most Australians are now aware that our oceans are over-fished though few of us know the extent of it. From the past hundred years of exploiting this country’s relatively small fisheries and supplying other countries with seafood, a legacy of impacts is beginning to unfold. In response to a public need for more information on sustainable seafood choices, an independent guide has been developed by the Australian Marine Conservation Society and is available online. Entitled ‘Australia’s Sustainable Seafood Guide’, this 3-step

soaks in a salt water brine then dries out on racks before being placed in the smoker. During the brining stage the salt will modify the proteins in the fish, enabling its flesh to hold moisture better; a little sugar added will contribute to the moisture, and both that and the salt, being preservatives, will extend the storage life and the freshness of the finished product.

Main Arm tossed in Shand semi Byron PS footballers make semis The final word in the local social cricket argument is the Nick Shand series, and with the round robin done and thoroughly dusted, Sunday saw the strange get suddenly serious as the dome-dwelling counterculturalists of Main Arm took on the surfboard-paddling dilettantes of the Byron Full Tossers in the first Semi Final. Alex of the Tossers invited the Arm to bat as the dry south westerly was rumbling across the Lomath Oval like a fleet of B-doubles. Glenn and Bourkey started steadily enough for the Arm but controversy soon reared up like a brown snake with seven heads as Bourkey was bowled by a high-ish full toss that was eventually called no-ball by an umpire who shall not be named, for his own safety. To make matters worse the feisty Bourkey started bashing it around like a Canadian fursealer earning a legitimate living. Glenn probed for gaps like a hopeful punter trying to get to the bar at the Blues festival. Two late wickets brought the Tossers back into the game

but the Arm ran away with the first session, with Glenn and Bourkey retired on 30 and the score 95. The Full-Tossers must have seen their tilt at the trophy evaporating like an early morning mist on Clark’s Beach, but after the break it was like a new team was on the paddock. Guru, Wayno and Shawshank all took wickets and the Tossers were diving at the ball like a pack of starving swamp mosquitoes. Johnno suspended himself like a sugar glider to snare an amazing catch at long leg, then backed up with two scalps of his own, and before you could say ‘lets have another festival’ a chastened Main Arm had been bundled out for 139. Like a Michael Jackson fan eyeing a stack of vinyl, it was time for some soul searching. Brian took the new ball for Main Arm and soon had it wobbling around everywhere alarmingly, like backstage at Les Girls. He held a return catch, and then started riding the west wind like Dorothy’s nemesis, knocking over two

more. Baz chimed in with a victim of his own and the Arm looked heavily armed. Tossers skipper Alex and Guru had realized by now that the Shand trophy is not won at a canter. They put their heads down like devout Muslims at prayer time, counterpunching and stealing quick singles. Alex brought up his 30 and Guru and Shawshank trimmed the total relentlessly, Main Arm watching the game dribble away like a leaky water tank. The Bourkie boys were the last trump Arm skipper Greg had to play, and both took two wickets, leaving the last pair, retirees Alex and Guru to drag the team home. Big Al chopped one up into the air that loosened a few bladders amongst the Byron supporters, but somehow landed safely. Guru (46no) had all the answers however, remaining ice cool to bring up the win with four balls to spare. After a rest for the long weekend, the second Semi between the Geckos and Left Bank fall on Sunday.

TheByron Bay Public School’s AFL team has just competed in the final of the PSSA knockout competition. After winning seven games and an extraordinary game against Greta, where they kept the opposition scoreless untl the dying minutes of the game to be the North Coast champions, the team travelled to San Remo, on the Central Coast,

to compete against the other three regional champions for the Tony Lockett Shield. Unfortunately the Byron Bay team came up against their nemesis team, Lavington Public School, in the first round this year, and after a loss played off against Merimbula PS, winning a tightly contested game to finished third in the state.

Shearwater wins chess title

Trio of Brunswick Try hards

Cody Plautz, Liam Harman and Luke Caldwell took on the big boys and won when they came second in the event’s Under 18s teams category.

The Shearwater Steiner School won the recent 2009 North Coast Primary interschool chess competition. The team of Tristan Chynoweth, Avalon HarrisPepper, Noah Hildreth, and Sage Nara finished well clear of Emmanuel Anglican Ballina in second with last years winner Mullumbimby Public third, before defeating Yamba Public School on all boards to make the regional finals in Coffs Harbour next term. The school holiday Junior Chess Competition is on Thurs October 15 at the Brunswick Heads Community Centre. All standards from 5-18yrs welcome – prizes and age group trophies. ph 66 846 281 register/enquiries.

A team of three ten year old boys were the youngest team competitors in the recent Brunswick SLSC’s ‘TryAthalon’. The Try is an event that encourages new competitors that would otherwise be too intimidated to participate in what is a competitive sport.

The Try attracted a record 117 athletes this year with line honours going to Kane Simpson and the overall winner for the women was Jenna Fulton. The Bruns triathlon is one of the major fundraisers for the SLSC which will commence their patrolling season this weekend from 9am.

The boys, Cody Plautz, Liam Harman and Luke Caldwell who are all mates at the Ocean Shores Public School, came second in the Under 18s teams category – the youngest categories, which meant they had some pretty stiff competition. The team put in a mammoth effort to battle it out against

much older athletes. They took part in the 400m swim in river, 10km bike ride and 4km run. ‘We had record numbers at this year’s event,’ said club president Craig Reid. ‘We have tri that was really well run and an exceptional amount of work done by the vollies, which we really appreciate.’

Backlash of a dwelling. Their policy approach is that the provision of holiday accommodation in a dwelling is a use ancillary to the major purpose of the building. Their position does not appear to be in line with some court judgements from the Land and Environment Court.’ Thus legal advice is a good idea, yes?

Followers of the Woolies kerfuffle might like to know the court case has been held over to November as the company had failed to provide enough information on its last-minute updates to its onsite sewerage system. Those hoping that a new Woolies in town might help save their jobs might care to look at the company’s selfserve policy at cash registers. ■ ■ ■ ■

The council meeting this coming Thursday is chockas

The other issue looked at in Comment on page 10 this week is sea level rise, which will be debated in Council via its coastal plan process. As reported by Crikey, the World Bank released a report estimating that $75-$100 billion per year would be required for climate adaptation assistance from 2010-2050, based on a two degree temperature rise. That figure does not include the cost of assisting developing countries to reduce their own carbon emissions. Compare that with the IMF calculation that developed countries – Europe, the UK, and the United

States – had spent US$10.2 trillion bailing out their banks. Expect tax level rise. ■ ■ ■ ■

Local Cyberknife activist Ash McKinnon has managed to sell his back space to a cancer equipment company. ‘It may all be worth while as we have had an influx of new members to our “Bring Cyberknife to Australia” group on Facebook,’ says Ash. ‘Mr Rudd actually replied and gave us suggestions of how to get our petition tabled in Parliament. Now we just need a TV/radio station as I have a tattoo artist [ready] to get on board.’ ■ ■ ■ ■

Tasmania’s infrastructure minister Graeme Sturges got into hot water recently for doing his nut at a security guard and saying: ‘Don’t you know who I am? ... I’ll have your fucking job.’ The standard answer to that question from self-important men is of course: ‘Why, have you forgotten?’

with controversial issues – when are they not? Mayor Jan Barham intends to move that Council ‘determine that the use of residential dwellings for the purpose of holiday letting, ie tourism use, is an unapproved activity that requires an approval in line with the provisions identified in the BCA, NSW fire regulations and the Conveyancing Act and as defined in previous court judgements and therefore is required to be a regulated activity in the LEP’. Planning director Ray Darney notes that ‘the Department of Planning (DoP) has not recognised that short term accommodation ie holiday accommodation in a dwelling is a different use to normal residential occupation
