Govt backs off rail bill The NSW government has withdrawn its controversial Transport Administration Amendment (Rail Trails) Bill, which many saw as a plan to sell off disused rail tracks across the State. Greens MP and transport spokesperson Lee Rhiannon said the withdrawal was an important win for communities across NSW. ‘The government’s so-called Rail Trail Bill was an irresponsible piece of legislation,’ Ms Rhiannon said. ‘If passed it could have resulted in the loss of valuable rail corridors and infrastructure by alienating it for profit making purposes other than rail trails. ‘The government needs to face up to the reality that because of its appalling record on walking and cycleway infrastructure, no-one trusts them when it comes to public transport plans.’

Predominantly clear skies blessed the revived Mullumbimby Show in its 102nd year. With the previous show being two years ago, this year organisers were hoping for good attendance. Clearly happy with the day, President of the Mullumbimby Agricultural Society, Tony Naclerio, told The Echo, ‘It has all gone extremely well. The ring

events had increased entrants and the truck, cattle, horse shows were all a huge success. The truck auction was huge and the rural youth pavilion was fantastic. Mullum Primary won the best display in the youth pavilion. Gate takings were up and the talent show, pet show, motorbike show and sideshow alley were all a great success.’ Secretary Desley Creighton said, ‘It has been the biggest show in twenty

years. We had record horse entries this year, and one of the judges said that we had the best lineup of mares he had seen in any show in 40 years.’ Arts and craft judge, Shirley Moffatt, made a similar comment, saying, ‘In over 43 years of judging this was the best quality I have seen.’ Main pavilion steward, Daniel Mercer, said ‘The show has been bloody brilliant – a truly committed effort

<echowebsection=Local News>

from a lot of people.’ Tony Naclerio continued, ‘A big thankyou from me to the committee for their tireless hardworking efforts. Thank you to all the competitors and exhibitors and to the people of the Brunswick Valley for supporting the local show and making it as big as it was. It is a community show, let’s see if we can make it bigger and better next time.’

TOOT president Karin Kolbe said, ‘We’re glad to hear that the government has realised the folly of selling off railway lines across the state. Perhaps they now realise that rail lines are needed in high-growth areas, in rural areas, and are an important method of reducing carbon emissions. ‘TOOT reminds our federal Labor representatives, particularly Justine Elliott, of the need to honour election promises to provide rail services.’ The NSW Farmers’ Association also welcomed the decision, saying it was a win for farmers concerned about transport infrastructure for the future. NSW Farmers’ Association President Charles Armstrong said the government should withdraw it completely, as the Association won’t be backing down. ‘The government has committed to not progress the Bill at this stage, citing a heavy amount of legislation on [its] agenda. However, we won’t rest until this proposal is well and truly dead in the water, and at this stage we don’t have a commitment that it will be fully withdrawn,’ Mr Armstrong said.

Dunecarers pick up beach award National environment organisation, Keep Australia Beautiful, has awarded first prize in the north coast section of the annual Clean Beach Challenge to Main Beach, Byron Bay. Dunecare volunteers are delighted to be recognised for their efforts in transforming degraded dunes into thriving natural habitat, Dunecare coordinators were quick to share the accolades with those in the community who help care for the beach. Green & Clean spokesman Veda Turner said, ‘Local residents on their morning beach walks make a huge difference to our beaches by taking a bag to collect litter along their way.’ Andy Erskine and staff from Byron Shire Council Parks & Gardens department and Byron Bay businesses shared the recognition. ‘Council provides disabled access, recycle bins and good amenities behind the beach,’ Mr Turner said. ‘We have also had great support over the past 12 years from town businesses. Byron United and Rain-

forest Rescue have helped with funding of regeneration work at Main Beach.’ Other local awards included the Resource Recovery Award for Tallow Beach/Suffolk Park

Dunecare, and Litter Prevention Award for Main Beach/ Green & Clean Dunecare. All Dunecare groups welcome new team members, as volunteers or business support-

ers. GCAT can be contacted on 6685 7991 and meets on the third Sunday each month. The next dunecare activity is on December 20, meeting 9am at Clarkes Beach near the CafĂŠ.

Local govt groups blast panels inequality According to the Local Government Association and the Local Government and Shires Association, State-appointed members of the controversial new Joint Regional Planning Panels do not have to declare their pecuniary interests up front, with lax provisions allowing them to declare interests only when they feel they have become pertinent. The panels also have provisions allowing them to rule declared interests as irrelevant to applications on which they are deciding. The associations are calling on the state government to fix the disparity between the state representatives and councillors appointed as represen-

tatives on the Joint Regional Planning Panel (JRPP). While the Local Government Act requires that all councillors provide a publicly available declaration of all of their pecuniary interests, the planning minister Kristina Keneally has required a far less comprehensive approach from state-appointed members. President of the Local Government Association Cr Genia McCaffery said that this was leading to a differing level of accountability between members. ‘The [local government] register ensures that councillors are accountable for their involvement in business and consultancy dealings, and

WORKSHOP ‘Creating a biodiversity friendly garden’

helps to ensure the transparency of planning decisions,’ she said. ‘The Minister claims that the difference lies in the range of duties carried out by state JRPP members as opposed to elected councillors. ‘But she has appointed these state representatives to make the exact decisions previously made by elected councillors – why has she not ensured that they conform to the same standards?’ Shoalhaven City Deputy Mayor Gareth Ward agrees, arguing the NSW government must mandate a publicly documented declaration of pecuniary interests for all stateappointed members to JRPPs.

‘It’s all good and well to require State appointed members to the JRPP to declare any pecuniary or conflict of interest on matters that come before them,’ he said. ‘But by failing to provide a publicly documented declaration of pecuniary interests similar to that required by councillors, the Minister and the Government have legislated a double standard in planning and development decisions in NSW.’ Cr McCaffery also condemned provisions in the JRPP Code of Conduct that allow the Panel or the Minister to rule that a pecuniary interest is irrelevant.

Masters demonstrate ki to healing Story & photo Eve Jeffery

The practice of Ki or energy cultivation and transmission, is an ancient healing practice that has existed in South Korea for over 5000 years. Grand Master Il Kwang has been practising, refining and teaching a form of the art, OneKi, for over 50 years and both he and other masters have been travelling the world assisting people with their healing, utilising the principles and practices of universal energy. One-Ki is a non-for-profit, non government organisation which has established its headquarters at Jiri Mountain in South Korea and has refined the method of traditional training to fit with the contemporary needs of people living in the 21st century. Last week Korean One-Ki Master Jinsang Kim and four other senior Korean One-Ki masters, travelled to the shire to hold a free community OneKi demonstration and healing sessions at the Ocean Shores Community Centre.

Byron Bay gears up for Schoolies invasion The Byron Bay Schoolies Safety Response Working Group has arranged an information session at the Schoolies Hub in Apex Park near Main Beach on Saturday November 21 at 11am to inform the community as to what arrangements will be in place. The main idea for the Schoolies Hub is to provide information on Byron Bay and its services as well as health information, water, friendly locals, simple first aid, chilledout music, day-time activities, visitor transport services and anything else that is identified that these young people might need. The Hub will also act as a

5 MINS FROM THE HIGHWAY

meeting point for schoolies. Schoolies Hub coordinator Nicqui Yazdi said the Hub would be promoting key messages on staying safe, looking after your mates, being responsible and respecting the community and environment. She said the messages are also being reinforced with a wallet sized brochure produced by Byron Liquor Accord especially for schoolies. The brochure will be distributed when young people check into their accommodation and also at the Hub. Volunteers will be at the Schoolies Hub 24 hours a day during the Schoolies period

and will have access to key emergency services, drug and alcohol services, sexual health support and the Red Frogs support service. The Hub still needs volunteers from November 20 to December 6. If you can help call Niqui on 0402 013 177. During the second week, the NRMA Free to Go will also be providing information and entertainment at the Hub. Byron Bay Police will have a bus located in the car park at Main Beach a few nights per week. Byron Shire Council will also be providing extra lighting over the beach front area, extra rubbish bins and col-

lection and extra cleaning of public toilets. The Byron Schoolies Safety Response Working Group was formed two months ago. Agencies involved in the group include Council, Byron Bay Police, Byron Bay Hospital, Byron Youth Service, the Rural Fire Service, INTRA Buttery Outreach program, Holiday Letting Organisation, Byron United, Cape Byron Security, Byron Community & Cultural Centre, BUDDI Drug Action Team, Byron Core Values group, Byron Bay High School, the Byron Visitor Centre and the Byron Bay Liquor Accord.

GRAIL QUEST offers a modern form of adult education based on the work of Rudolf Steiner. Through a deepened understanding of the inner workings of the world and ourselves, inner development and soul transformation are brought about. This in turn leads to an enhanced capacity to transform the outer world. The course consists of lectures, discussions and workshops which are expanded through artistic experiences in music, painting, sculpture, story telling, speech, drama, craft and the new art of eurythmy. No previous artistic experience is necessary. The emphasis of the course is away from competition and is focused on individual growth. The course aims to teach through the heart, hand and mind and to bring our efforts to fruition through love of the deed. GRAIL QUEST is also the prerequisite for the Steiner Teacher Training programme.

Some of the themes explored in the course are:

Fighting fund honours Red Terra Following the passing of Red Terra aka Terry Wells, those who were close to her wanted a way to keep her vital work going. A fighting fund for environmental and media projects is being set up with the North Coast Community Foundation and has been kickstarted with a $25,000 contribution by George Lewen, with a call for it to be matched by the community. The fund will be launched this Friday November 20 as a benefit gig at the Buddha Bar. A founding member of Bay FM and passionate advocate for community media, Terry presented ‘The Shake Down’ on Bay FM for nearly 20 years, where she had built up a huge listening audience and won national awards for her work. The quality of her program and the contribution made to saving and protecting the environment through her activism and the dissemination of information was recognised nationally. The standard of her presentation was an indication of her commitment and dedication. The Red Terra Fighting Fund has been established to help continue the work of Terry and those like her who are striving

Alien encounters at Byron school

Arts classic wants your work Victoria Cosford

Hip hopping Aliens, Squirmy Worms and Rocking Teachers are all found at this year’s performance by Byron Community Primary School. A Close Encounter of the Recycling Kind was written by the year 3-6 students with help from their drama teacher. It tells the story of Dirty Town, a town that lives up to its name, and the fight to win the Spick and Span Trophy back from Tidy Town. Where do the aliens come

in? Well, you’ll just have to come and see! Byron Community School has collaborated with two local musicians to make this show spectacular. Michael Turner took on the demanding role of musical director and Thierry Fossemalle the role of band leader. ‘With their hard work, talent and commitment to the project this year’s show is going to be one of the best,’ say organisers. ‘If you are lucky enough to

The Byron Arts Classic – reincarnation of the much-loved Easter Arts Classic dating back to 1982 – will take place between January 7 and 10, 2010, at the Byron Community and Cultural Centre, with a prize pool of approximately $10,000. An exhibition designed both to showcase the rich artistic talent of the region and to share it with the local community and its visitors, it has undergone a 7-year hiatus but is returning with some new features. One is the fact that there are now additional prizes sponsored by local residents’ groups such as the Watego’s Residents Group and the Skinners Shoot Residents Group – endowing the whole event with even more of a community feel. Individual artists are invited to submit works in four categories – painting, works on paper, photography and sculpture.

Koala population in dramatic decline Lorraine Vass

The koala shown in the photo came into Friends of the Koala’s care nearly three years ago. She was hand-raised with another orphaned female. The two koalas, named Zoe and Japara, were released together on a private property. The delighted landholder has recently seen both Zoe and Japara with backyoung but we’re not sure which koala has been captured in this photo. While Zoe and Japara are good news stories there are too many other koalas which are beyond help. Loss of habitat, disease, road kill and dog attacks are drastically reducing the number of wild koalas in and around the Northern Rivers. When linked to lack of adequate planning laws and political will which could serve to

protect koalas for future generations, this iconic Australian animal now faces extinction. As recently as November 10, some of Australia’s leading koala scientists and researchers were invited to Canberra to address the issue of koala abundance and trends. In a

dramatic change to process, this Specialist Working Group will be assisting the federal environment department to prepare the nomination for listing the koala as an endangered species under national legislation. They have been given ten months in which to complete

their work and make recommendation to the Minister. This will be the third attempt at national listing of the koala. Previous nominations, put forward by the Australian Koala Foundation in 1996 and 2004, failed. The downside of scientific thoroughness is the time it takes and all the while, koala populations will continue to undergo dramatic decline. You can help by writing about your concerns for the future of koalas on the Northern Rivers to the Minister for the Environment, The Hon. Peter Garrett, PO Box 6022, House of Representatives, Parliament House, Canberra ACT 2600 or email Peter.Garrett.MP@aph. gov.a) or by supporting the work of Friends of the Koala.

Climate runners pass through the Bay Victoria Cosford

A group of 27 trained Australian emergency workers are running a 6000km marathon in a bid to share their experiences with regard to the effects of global warming. This inaugural event has been organised by Run For A Safe Climate, a unique ‘solutions-based’ project aimed at protecting life, property and the great natural icons of this country from a slide towards catastrophic global warming. The group arrived in Byron Bay on a hot afternoon, pausing for breath at Belongil Beach complete with its sandbags – another fitting example of the effects of climate change. Project director Brendan Condon together with participants Matthew Eeles and Roger McRae spoke to The Echo about the 2,000kms so far achieved – about a third of the distance they plan to run. ‘I can’t believe how well everyone is, physically and emotionally’, commented Roger,

‘the dedication is unbelievable – I’ve never seen anything like it.’ That day’s leg, from Surfers Paradise down to the Byron Shire, was ‘just a short leg’; the following day would see them aiming for Port Macquarie. They all appeared – other than incredibly lean and fit – remarkably relaxed (‘They’ve been training for months’, said Brendan), despite the heat and humidity they had endured throughout Queensland. When asked if the group was on target, Brendan told The Echo that it had ‘never been more than 20 minutes late – it’s running

like a military operation.’ He said that he felt ‘pretty confident that we’ll get the support’ in terms of donations to fund the event but was keen to emphasise the fact that the entire thing was being documented then streamed online in order that the community could follow it. (The website is www.runforasafeclimate. org.) If the funds were met for this particular marathon, he

continued, the plan is to do a lap of the country next – all 17,000kms of it. The team, mostly men, then set off for a final easy jog into town where a community event was being held at The Beach Hotel, discussing risks and solutions to global warming in the region. A film was to be presented about the run, offering ‘perspectives from all the scientists we meet across the 2,500 km of the run we will have covered up to that point’, Brendan told The Echo. ‘We’ve moved into an unsafe place as far as global warming is concerned,’ he continued, ‘and now we are rising to the challenge. We haven’t listened to our scientists for 20 years, and now it’s time.’ The project itself was launched in Melbourne in July by Al Gore.

Crocket returns to surf’s legends Switch-Foot II is the sequel to the award-winning first SwitchFoot book, which earned local author Andrew Crockett, pictured, an induction into the Australian Surfing Hall of Fame. Switch-Foot II has over 90 contributors from around the world, many of them are ‘legends’ of surfing. There are over 1,000 unique images and 368 pages. The sequel captures a strong surf core in the historical photographs from the 1960s and 1970s, with most of Australia’s leading surfing photographers from that era supporting the Switch-Foot books. Professional surfer and environmental activist David Rastovich said of Switch-Foot II: ‘Turning through the book is like sitting under a wise old tree that gives shade and shelter for the soul, and ripe fruit

National Bowel Cancer Screening Program Resumed The Commonwealth Department of Health and Ageing resumed screening under the National Bowel Cancer Screening Program on 2 November 2009. If you participated in the National Bowel Cancer Screening Program between 1 December 2008 and 11 May 2009, you may need to retake the test. Screening was temporarily suspended in May following identiďŹ cation of a problem with the Faecal Occult Blood Test (FOBT) used for screening in the Program. The FOBT used during this time returned a lower than expected positivity rate. This means that some people who tested negative for signs of bowel cancer may not have received an accurate result. The issue with the screening test has been addressed and replacement FOBTs are now being offered to affected people. If you are in this group, when you receive your letter you are encouraged to complete the screening test for bowel cancer again. Priority will be given to people who completed the test and received a negative or inconclusive result. It is anticipated that this group will be offered test kits by Christmas. Between mid-January and March 2010, most other affected people will be offered a test kit. More information can be obtained from the program website at www.cancerscreening.gov.au or by contacting the Program Information Line on 1800 118 868.

for thought’. Andrew Crockett says, ‘I cannot believe the enthusiasm from the public for this new book, it is a real stoke to know that the public even know it exists. I thought it was underground. ‘I am very appreciative of all the contributors, especially the older folk, who have allowed me to interview them and run their classic photographs.’ The book will be launched in Byron Bay on Sunday November 22 at 2pm at Ho’Okupu. Switch-Foot II has a heavy focus on surfing in the era before it ‘changed’ into a professional sport. There was a juncture back in the early 60s where surfers had a choice – the artform or the sport. There was a crossroads – some of the torchbearers of that era had to make a decision and they chose the sport, and it changed surfing from style, beauty and grace to a more compact aggressive thing that was economically tangible to the mainstream.

Byron Shire festival and event organisers have presented a unanimous industry response to Byron Shire Council on its new Draft Policy for Events on Public and Private Land and Draft Byron Shire Event Guidelines. On Tuesday November 10, festival organisers from around the shire came together for an urgent industry meeting to discuss the draft policy and guidelines, which have been developed by Council over the past year without industry consultation or involvement. Both of these documents were presented to Byron Council’s October Ordinary meeting with a proposal that they go on public exhibition. However at the last minute Council resolved to ‘defer placing the draft policy on exhibition to allow for consultation with the industry to be coordinated by Arts Northern Rivers’, with results to be reported back to Council in time for consideration at their November Ordinary Meeting. The consultation brought together 20 industry professionals from events including Byron Bay Writers Festival, Byron Bay Film Festival, ArtsCape Sculpture Biennale, FEHVA, Island Quarry, Brunswick Kites and Bikes, Bluesfest and Splendour in the Grass, in addition to consultants who have worked with several of the smaller festivals in addressing specialist DA requirements. An intense three-hour facilitated discussion resulted in the industry group unanimously proposing an alternate draft policy to Byron Shire Council, along with a recommendation that the proposed guidelines be rewritten and developed with

<echowebsection=Local News>

input from industry and stakeholders, once a policy has been adopted. Arts Northern Rivers CEO, Lois Randall points out that Byron Shire Council’s Cultural Plan 2008-2012 recommended ‘the development of an events policy and protocols that distinguish between community and commercial events, simplify the approvals process for community festivals and provide for long term approvals as an action of critical priority’. Event industry representatives expressed the view that ‘the lack of industry input in the formulation of the documents has resulted in a draft policy, which, rather than simplify, could have adverse impact particularly on small notfor-profit community events’. Ms Randall said that she was impressed that the industry had arrived at a consensus on the policy, and their commitment to taking a positive approach to working with Council on addressing these concerns. ‘Industry recognises the value of having a policy and acknowledges Council’s responsibilities in limiting any negative impact from events on the community,’ she said. ‘The event organisers would like to work together with Council on a new draft of the guidelines, to meet this common objective, and to ensure that events in the shire are socially and environmentally responsible. Industry would also like the policy to recognise the significant positive cultural and economic impacts the festivals contribute to Byron shire’s famously vibrant culture and lifestyle. ‘Around the country, regional festivals are being embraced

as a way to keep rural communities afloat. Since 1980 more than 1,700 new festivals have been developed in regional NSW, Victoria and Tasmania, including almost 600 new festivals since the year 2000, and a recent government survey has recognised that these events are lively cells of economic activity that together comprise a substantial industry.’ The report found that rural festivals in NSW, Victoria and Tasmania create 176,500 jobs and generate around $10 billion in economic activity for local communities each year, through ticket sales and flowon benefits including ‘sourcing inputs, hiring services and attracting visitors who stay in hotels and motels, eat out and go shopping’. ‘The growth of festivals and events in Byron shire and the rest of the region is in keeping with what’s happening all over the country,’ Ms Randall said. ‘The new Mullumbimby Music Festival is a fantastic example of a grassroots event that is bringing new vitality and public attention to a small rural community. ‘The influx of visitors to events in the region creates work for everyone, from artists, musicians and arts managers to local food suppliers, baristas and cleaners.’ ‘The events also provide a career launch pad for many people working in the creative industries in the region, and an opportunity to celebrate our local culture and identity.’ The shape of the Policy for Events on Public and Private Land will be considered at Byron Shire Council’s Ordinary Meeting, scheduled to take place on November 26. www.echo.net.au

Review & photo Jeff Dawson

You wouldn’t really say David Bradbury makes movies that are easy to watch – they are important, however. His latest offering My Asian Heart is a confronting insight into an award-winning photojournalist’s frontline experiences in some of Asia’s political hot spots. This is definitely a documentary to wake you up, the two screenings in Mullum and Byron next week probably won’t be enough once word of mouth starts to spread. Twenty years ago, in his mid twenties, Philip Blenkinsop quit his dream job as a photojournalist on The Australian, sold his Austin Healey and bought two Leicas and a one way ticket to Bangkok. He wanted to go deeper on stories that matter, to get more visceral, often revealing truths the world press didn’t want to know or have known. Philip wanted to contribute to the understanding of what was really going on in some of Asia’s almost forgotten conflicts. While most of the documentary focuses on Philip’s coverage of the situation in Nepal at the time the King abdicated, it also shows some of the other stories he has personally covered. In Laos he smuggled himself into a forbidden zone to find a small tribe of Hmong people, a group under constant persecution by the Communist regime for aiding the CIA way

back in the Vietnam War. Noone had really taken any notice of their plight until Blenkinsop got his images out. Even now they languish in the too hard basket. David Bradbury’s documentary on this remarkable man could well have been called ‘After My Own Heart’. In many ways Bradbury’s work with a movie camera in South America, Asia and East Timor parallels Bienkinsop’s still images. Not just documenting, but questioning and confronting the perpetrators of atrocity, often at considerable personal risk. It’s interesting to realise that as you see Blenkinsop challenge a Nepalese police chief, after a violent conflict with protesters, that there was another camera on him and in that cop’s face – it’s Bradbury’s holding the shot, holding the cop to account until his composure crumbles. Both cameramen know that difficult dividing line between documenting and becoming involved. While Time, Newsweek and Paris Match have run Blenkinsop’s black and white images, more often than not the media finds them too hot to handle. He has had to mount exhibitions to show the photos the magazines won’t. Sometimes washed with blood and with hand-written text integrated into the image, Philip’s photographs become artworks that are featured in

galleries in New York, Paris, London and, amazingly, China. Like Blenkinsop, Bradbrury often struggles to find mainstream outlets prepared to air his challenging work. (We expect commercial media to fear advertiser backlash, but rarely think about how sensitive the ABC is to government funding.) Blowin’ in the Wind, Bradbury’s frightening documentary about what might blow in on the next dust storm from the Olympic mine, was dropped like a hot yellow cake by the ABC at the time David’s old uni friend, now Minister for the Environment, was approving more uranium mines. The Academy Award-nominated Bradbury has long been recognised as one of Australia’s best documentary directors. While his approach to story, composition and light has been informed by years of filmmaking and directing other cameramen, in My Asian Heart it’s his gutsy, centre-ofthe-action filming style that makes this great story even more compelling. It is this that has undoubtedly earned his nomination for an AFI award for cinematography. David Bradbury makes important movies, movies that deserve our attention. See My Asian Heart on Tuesday November 24 at Mullum’s Court House Hotel and Friday November 27 at the Byron Community Centre.

Fundraiser for Afghani women The war in Afghanistan is featured daily in all major news media, yet the true hardships endured by all Afghanis, and Afghani women in particular, are seldom covered. Most women both in Afghanistan and in the refugee camps in neighbouring countries are denied the very basic conditions necessary for life that most of us in the industrialised world take for granted. These include access to medical care, education, work and opportunity; and extend to even the most fundamental human necessities such as water, www.echo.net.au

nutrition, sanitation, safety and electricity. Local supporters are hoping to increase awareness of their plight and aid them directly through raising funds for SAWA (Support Association for the Women of Afghanistan). A fundraiser will run from 3pm to 9pm on Saturday December 5 at the Mullum Civic Hall. It will begin with a film screening of View from a Grain of Sand, a 90 minute documentary on the last 50 years of Afghanistan’s history and

on the fate of its women. This will be followed by performances from local artists River Free from Positive Timing, the Matty Devitt Band, Tarshito and the Fleeting Forest and belly dancer Corrina. There will be a presentation by guest speaker from SAWA, Dawn Atkinson, followed by an auction, hosted by Mandy Nolan, of amazing prizes donated by so many of our generous local businesses. There will also be plenty of food, chai, cakes and drinks available. <echowebsection=Local News>

Comment

Liberals rave in a climate of denial Volume 24 #24

November 17, 2009

A sunny move At last, something positive to say about the state government! Its introduction of a gross feed-in tariff for power generation means that solar households will be paid 60 cents per kilowatt hour for the clean energy they generate on systems up to 10kw. The scheme begins on January 1 next year, is expected to run for seven years and also applies to micro-wind systems. It’s a significant move towards stimulating household investment in renewable energy. I declare a pecuniary interest: my household, already fitted out with panels, is likely to benefit from the tariff to the tune of $1,800 a year once service charges are subtracted. It still means it will take several years to recoup the initial outlay on panels, but in the meantime we’ll be enjoying clean energy delivered free from 150 million kilometres away. Most folks, from the Alternative Technology Association (ATA) to the National Electrical and Communications Association NECA, have welcomed the NSW government’s move, though The Nationals’ Senator Ron Boswell reckons the tariff will have the paradoxical effect of reducing the viability of large scale renewable energy projects. ‘Further subsidising households to go solar will increase the oversupply of Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) through the Solar Credits multiplier which would lower the price of RECs,’ he said. ‘This is a disincentive for companies to invest in large renewable energy projects. ‘Before the NSW government announced their scheme‌ there was already a flood of solar RECs hitting the market and lowering the price. The viability of renewable energy projects such as NSW Sugar’s cogeneration project will be further threatened. ‘A low price [for RECs] means there is no point in investing. REC prices have already dropped from over $50 to $28 before the Rees decision on gross feed-in tariffs.’ Supposing Senator Boswell is right, it points out the folly of tying energy needs to trading systems which mimic commodities markets. We don’t need the drive to sustainability stuffed up by speculative pressures. Nevertheless, anything which encourages the householder to invest in clean energy is a good thing, and is bound to generate more green collar jobs. The Alternative Technology Association energy policy manager Damien Moyse sees the investment coming in small-scale solar. He has urged the Rudd government to ‘harmonise the nation’s feed-in tariffs to a single, gross feed-in tariff scheme that will make conversion to solar simpler for installers, households and electricity retailers’. Despite Senator Boswell’s fears, there is historical precedent for the positive value of a feed-in tariff. Since the introduction of the Electricity Feed Act in Germany in 1991, there has been dramatic growth in that nation’s renewable energy market. From 2000 to the end of 2005 the electricity fed into the German grid rose from about 215 megawatts to over 1,500MW. By comparison Australia produced about 7MW of grid-connected solar power in the same period. And us with all that sun! The other good news is the launch of CSIRO’s Renewable Energy Integration Facility at Newcastle ‘to develop new grid management technologies that will allow greater penetration of renewable, low-emission energy resources into electricity networks’. See more at www.csiro.au/places/Renewable-EnergyIntegration-Facility.html. – Michael McDonald, editor

he most depressing statistic of modern times is the one that tells us that well over 50 percent of adult Americans do not believe in evolution. Or at least it was until last week, when Senator Nick Minchin, the Liberal leader in the senate, told Four Corners that a majority of his party room did not accept the reality of man-made climate change. At least the Americans – well, some of them, anyway – have an excuse for their ignorance and perversity. In a great many places education standards are low and the general environment is bigoted and provincial. The evolution denialists can reasonably claim that they don’t know any better. But Liberal members of the Australian federal parliament are among the most privileged groups in the world, with access to the best education money can buy. That a majority can comprehensively reject a scientific consensus that has been confirmed over more than two decades is almost beyond belief – until you remember that these people are first and foremost politicians for whom the truth has always been an optional extra. What concerns them is political advantage, and rightly or wrongly they perceive their current advantage lies in opposing the government’s emissions trading scheme. They could of course argue about the detail and seek to amend it, which is what the more rational members of the party are doing. But it is far easier just to reject the lot, to say it’s all a left wing conspiracy and a fraud cooked up by communist greenies intent on destroying the Australian way of life. They take their cue from the right-wing commentariat headed by Andrew Bolt, Janet

T

Albrechtsen and Miranda Devine, none of whom is inclined to let the facts get in the way of a good diatribe. Their loathing for the left in general and the Greens in particular is so obsessive that the mere suggestion that the Greens might support a position is sufficient for them to condemn it out of hand. So in pursuing their vendetta against the reality of man-

there with the law of gravity. Of course there is still debate about the details, but no serious student of the literature questions the role played by carbon emissions in accelerating global warming or the catastrophic consequences which will flow from it unless action mistaken. Those who pretend otherwise can no longer plead ignorance, so their perversity must

The basic fact of man-made climate change is accepted by all but the fruitloops – and it would appear that Australians are among them. by Mungo MacCallum made climate change they are prepared to give aid and comfort, and most importantly media space, to every maverick dissenter who emerges from the woodwork. This utterly unmerited exposure is calculated to make it appear that the argument is still unsettled, there is still a sizeable and respectable body of scientists who doubt the validity of the climate change thesis. There isn’t: the basic fact of man-made climate change is accepted by all but the fruitloops – and it would appear that Australians are among them. Britain’s new High Commissioner to Australia, Baroness Valerie Amos, commented rather tactlessly last week that she was surprised to find there was still debate about it in her new posting. She refrained from suggesting that she felt herself surrounded by slow learners, even primitives, but the point was clear. Throughout the civilised world, man-made climate change is a scientific fact, up

be put down either to cynical self-interest or to sheer bloodymindedness. In the case of the recalcitrants in the Liberal Party room it is probably a combination of the two. So Kevin Rudd is perfectly entitled to excoriate them in the strongest possible terms, as he finally did in his Lowy lecture. The pity is that he has left it so long. For most of the last two years the government has virtually ignored the debate on climate change in favour of pursuing its agenda on the Global Financial Crisis. This is understandable in the circumstances, but it has left a political vacuum to be filled by the denialists and as a result public opinion, once red hot for action on climate change, is now at best lukewarm. There is confusion over just what the government’s emissions trading scheme entails and doubts over its efficacy. Rudd is now attempting to revive the sense of urgency which prevailed at the start of his term. But it may be too lit-

tle too late. As, of course, may be whatever course of action is determined at Copenhagen next month. And if Copenhagen is a flop, Minchin and his troops will undoubtedly claim the failure as a justification for their do-nothing stance, and even as some sort of political victory. Those whom the gods seek to destroy, they first make mad. Malcolm Turnbull is sane on climate change but when it comes to asylum seekers he appears just as unhinged as everyone else. His solution to the non-existent crisis is the reintroduction of some form of temporary protection visas – refugees who arrive by boat are to be given shelter for three years rather than permanent asylum. This is silly on two levels. For starters, almost all of them eventually qualify for residency anyway – the waiting period is both cruel and pointless. But more importantly it just doesn’t work; when the Howard government introduced TPVs the boat numbers actually increased. Still, it must be admitted that the Rudd government’s approach to the issue hasn’t been all that brilliant either. It now appears that face will be saved; the recalcitrants on the Oceanic Viking are beginning to trickle ashore in Indonesia, having been enticed, bribed, suborned and conned by promises of privileged five star treatment which Rudd assures us that they won’t get. Some are still holding out for a better offer, which will surely be forthcoming. What about a Christmas hamper, a Kevin 07 T-shirt and an autographed pinup of Julia Gillard or Wayne Swan, according to orientation and preference? That should get them moving, one way or another.

Coastal stormfront building It is established that some Belongil owners are lobbying for the right to fortify their land to protect their property from rising sea levels and adverse coastal processes. Although this debate has been raging since 1215 (see Magna Carta) recent instalments are increasingly tedious, given the fallacious arguments that are consistently advanced by those with a vested interest in the Belongil outcome. As most people in Byron Shire realise by now, this debate presents in the media as a planning issue, but in essence, it enunciates basic rights and interests –that is, the tension that exists between private interests and the public interest. Such debate in my view has not adequately addressed the following. In the event that current planning constraints are modified to allow property owners at Belongil to lawfully commence protective works, does it follow that existing constraints on development under the DCP will then be obsolete? What will constitute ‘lawful development’ of the immediate foreshore, once existing constraints under the DCP are no longer enforceable? If the government refuses to pay for protective works, will such works be permissible if property owners pay for works themselves? Once the site is no longer deemed to be at risk, will existing dwellings be demolished in favour of lawful development, the likes of what has occurred at Watego’s for instance? Could Belongil end up looking like Hastings Street, Noosa,

and therefore no beach, no access, increased values in private property and the loss of the public right to the commons, in favour of private interests? In conclusion it must be emphasised that the doctrine of ‘caveat emptor’, which means buyer beware, underpins the sale of all real property in New South Wales. This doctrine applies to land in flood zones, slip areas and the coastal erosion zone without exception. It follows that anyone who bought at Belongil post 1988 proceeded with their purchase with full disclosure by the vendor of all constraints affecting the land. Nick Gazzard

Main Arm One of the first great flaws of the Draft Coastal Zone Management Plan is that the definition of the Coastal Zone (NSW Coastal Policy 1997) is given as three nautical miles seaward of the mainland and 1km of the open coast high water mark and a distance of 1km around all bays, estuaries, coastal lakes and tidal waters of coastal rivers to the limits of the mangroves. One kilometre landward of the coast north of the Brunswick River, which includes New Brighton, South Golden Beach and North Ocean Shores, will include the Brunswick River, Marshalls Creek, and the Capricornia Canal. All these areas will be affected by sea level rise and the effects of increased inundation from floods. This was pointed out in the article on the front page of The Sydney Morning Herald, 7/11/09.

Thank you to the opposition and minor parties for their support in rejecting the Bill. I’d like to acknowledge the solid role that local government played with Byron, Ballina, Tweed, Lismore and Richmond Valley Councils all passing resolutions opposing the proposed legislation and calling for commuter services to be introduced on the region’s rail network. NOROC, the regional organisation of councils, is also preparing an Integrated Regional Transport Plan that includes rail and will shortly consider a proposal by Byron Shire to establish a Regional Rail Taskforce. Hopefully the cracks that have appeared in the NSW government’s apparent resolve not to hear our community on rail and a region united around

Plenty of material has been presented to establish the long term stability of the Belongil dune. People may ask why the dune formed at that location in the first place. Visitors to the beach after the last great storm season would have seen the explanation with their own eyes. Down below the sand is a rock shelf. Over the millennia the constant northward flow of sand has passed along this rock shelf in what is known as long shore drift and been pounded continually by the waves that the shelf causes to break at that point. As a consequence it has been like a hammer descending upon an anvil with the sand in between. The heavier material has remained while the lighter silica sand has continued on its way north after staying for varying periods. This concludes my comments upon the subject. Anyone wishing to view original material may contact me on 6685 7891 and arrange an appointment. We now proceed to providing solutions with a goal to restoring the natural sweep of the bay at minimum cost to the community and land owners. This is our responsibility to the natural environment as it existed before sand mining.

New Brighton So the ‘only outburst [at the Coastal Plan Meeting] was by Mayor Barham’ (Eve Jeffery’s version, Echo, November 10). Your ace reporter must have been out at the dunny when the charming Mr Tauber threatened councillors with personal financial liability if they didn’t roll over and do as they were told by him and other Belongil interests. (He did, however, save us from the standard Vaughan address by using up all the time.) And where was she when Mr Andrew Hall leveled a petulant personal attack on Jan Barham calling her ‘a disgrace’ before flouncing out of the meeting like a wounded diva? I don’t know who made the rules of engagement banning councillors but they didn’t tell us and considering the proliferation of misinformation, a little correction was in order. The pressure is building and someone has to be to blame. And being to blame is what Byon Shire Council does best. Global warming, sea level rise, increasing storm events, put ’em all on the Council tab and then stamp your feet for someone else to pay for your losses. As the state and federal gov■

I applaud the efforts of the Byron Schoolies Safety Response Working Group. Obviously, a lot of deep thought has been put into how to most effectively keep young people safe when they attend end of school celebrations in Byron Bay over the coming weeks. I genuinely hope the Schoolies Hub works to protect young people visiting Byron Bay this year. However, I am a little confused about how this new ‘event’ in Byron Bay is being financed. My understanding from press releases is that it is hoped that volunteers will staff the Schoolies Hub at Main Beach along with youth workers from organisations outside the region such as Red Frogs or Point Zero.

Mediation helps everyone consumed by a conflict gain perspective and understand how we each participate in the conflict. As a restorative process, mediation starts the process of re-building trust and respect and enables us be more responsible for our choices and responses.

Ian Cohen’s appeal and the price of defamation ■ Rather than donating money

to this lost cause it would be far more appropriate to donate toward something to help the flora and fauna in this area. Alexandra Gray

Byron Bay ■ I think Ian Cohen only has himself to blame for his $1.015 million defamation costs to Jerry Bennette. It’s the nasty, offhand, dishonest and unconscionable comments the radical Greens deliver to the public that have repercussions to good families, and it’s something they are famous for. The implications of deliberately persecuting people with personal attacks, intimidation, false accusations and attacking good people’s integrity via mailouts to gain political advantage is inexcusable for anyone and has consequences. Furthermore, he has a cheek to ask his friends for a handout after bragging on radio that he has quite a number of business

this is funded from general council rates. With other official events in town (eg Writer’s Festival, Splendour in the Grass, Blues Festival) it seems that the promoters of the event cover the costs associated with putting the event on. If Schoolies is now an official ‘event’ in Byron Bay resulting in no small part from the heavy promotion of local holiday accommodation through such websites as www. byronschoolies.com, my question is this: how are the promoters of this event paying for the costs associated with it? Or is it how it seems, that the community costs are being born by the community through rate payments and volunteering while the promoters pocket the handsome profits? If someone can help ease my

for the Most Expensive Letter at the Echo Awards. Any reader who has been caught up in a legal tangle like I was would appreciate the Kafkaesque experience of helplessness as the wheels grind ever so slowly and the $$$s clock up. I was in the midst of this when I bumped into Ian one day. I can say that was a turning point for me because here was somebody whose support was tangible. No longer did I feel it was a one-man battle. Ian’s fighting spirit – honed over many years as an environmental warrior – was like a tonic. Ian suggested having a fundraising concert. Here was the opportunity for musicians, friends and locals to show their support and that night the Suffolk Park hall was overflowing with good music and good will. Little did we know that there were two strangers there who

secretly recorded the proceedings including Ian’s short speech. The original recordings were an indecipherable jumble of sounds but the application of some technical wizardry eliminated the background noise. As Ian says, you would hear stronger insults at a football match and what he said was quite tame. But that’s of no consequence in the way defamation law works in New South Wales. Incidentally the plaintiff in the case was awarded relatively token damages. The $1 million is to pay for barristers’ and senior counsels’ holiday homes in Banff and exclusive school fees. This is the real crime. Free speech should be just that – free. Not borne at the cost of crippling legal charges. Ian, like fellow Green politicians Bob Brown and our own mayor Jan Barham, has devoted himself to tirelessly serving the causes of environmental protection and social justice.

Poor Jan needs glasses; the confusion by providing an answer to this question I would judgments she refers to make it undeniably clear that you can’t be very grateful. Paul Spooner do holiday lets in a residenByron Bay tial zone, because ‘residential’ = ‘permanent long term occupancy’. She also obviously can’t Holiday letting A few weeks ago there was all read the LEP which states that this kerfuffle about how Jan holiday letting is ‘prohibited’ in Barham was finally going to get the residential 2(a) zone.

and legal procedure and she can do the same thing here! Once again she has plunged in without seeking legal advice, obviously. Of course the Council staff have consciously done their bit to bamboozle her. (I have received a letter from GM Graeme Faulkner (copy supplied to Echo) which reads relevantly: ‘...Holiday letting of a house does not require development consent and is a lawful use, historically, now and in the future.’ This patently false assertion is based on the leaked Department of Planning’s letter, the one I tore apart as fraudulent a few weeks ago. You know what’s so painful about all this? Jan has unlimited access to the best lawyers, but doesn’t use them! All it takes is for the following question to be answered in writing:

assets that he has accumulated over the years, that he could sell to pay his dues. I’m pleased that he now realises that defamation has a high price to pay, and let’s hope he transfers all that negative energy into something good and positive for a change, like planting trees, cleaning up rubbish along the beach, pro-actively protecting the whales, supporting our young people with adequate sports facilities across the Shire, and maybe volunteering his time to BeyondBlue. Tina Petroff

Ocean Shores ■ I am the mate that Ian Cohen

came to speak in support of at the community fundraising event in 2001. He only said a few words and now he has $1 million in legal expenses to pay. My own transgression was to write a letter to The Echo. The cost to me was also very great but I was awarded a sort of consolation prize – a trophy

This has inevitably meant sacrificing aspects of his personal life that many others would not be prepared to do. For this we are indebted to Ian. We can demonstrate our support for Ian to continue the work he has been doing and show him that he is not alone. Donations can be made to the Ian Cohen Defamation Account, BSB 062514 Commonwealth Bank account number 10329868. Bill Mackay

Suffolk Park ■ The Supreme Court decision

to award damages of $15,000 and legal costs exceeding $1 million against Ian Cohen for describing a person as a thug and a bully throws up a number of issues for consideration. For me, two issues in particular make me want to throw up. First, I am shocked beyond description to learn that the imputation a person is a thug and a bully is defamatory. Ian ‘Is holiday letting in a residential zone currently permissable and can it be regulated?’ The reason she won’t ask this question is obvious: she’s afraid of what the answer might be. And so we labour under her monumental denial. Now let’s have a quick look at the ‘action’ part of Council’s resolution: ‘That staff report to Council any potential holiday letting compliance matters.’ Wow, that’s decisive! It means your elected councillors sit back and wait for the staff to provide them with a ‘potential’ case for prosecution. What, there aren’t any that they already well know of!? And prosecute them for what – noise? littering? Truly sad. I spoke to a holiday letter in Byron recently. ‘No-one will be closed down,’ he told me with a quiet smile. He’s right; Jan has

Cohen has called me far worse and it never crossed my mind to sue him. God knows, I could do with the money. Secondly, defamation lawyers are a privileged cabal and it is galling to think that they are the only real beneficiaries of the case. Other civil actions require a minimum loss or damages of $750,000 before they get a guernsey in the Supreme Court. An exception exists for defamation cases because of the perceived complexity of the law. A mechanism should be available where an award is made of $20,000 or less to have the case immediately referred to the jurisdiction of the Small Claims Court where lawyers are unable to clean up with massive costs orders. This would be a good reality check for litigants with money to burn on expensive lawyers. Peter Breen

Byron Bay created the illusion that things are happening, but everything remains exactly as it was. Only rural unauthorised accommodation gets closed down; the town boys have bluffed her successfully. Oh, just one thing from the WA experiment that I noticed Jan didn’t take up: the requirement for insurance. Holiday letters may well tell their insurers that they are using their premises for tourism purposes and the insurers may be quite happy to take a little extra premium from them, but when it comes to payout time the insurers will suddenly realise that holiday letting is illegal and refuse to pay out – because you can’t insure an illegal activity. This means that owners (and agents) are personally liable. Fast Buck$

Letters Carbon footprints For all those who use science to argue about CO2 reduction here are some points to consider. For those who argue in favour of reduction, if you have a medium size dog you will have to get rid of it as the carbon footprint is much larger than that of a Toyota Landcruiser, and perhaps keep rabbits as at least you can eat them. For those who argue against reduction please remember that if you remove all trees then you end up with desertification which just turns land to sand, it’s why we have a problem in the Middle East with growing deserts and we are starting to see similar effects of water diversion and deforestation in South America and India. Meanwhile with all the focus on this single issue, don’t forget we still have problems with water pollution, acid rain, chemical disposal, loss of native animal habitat, dispossession of our indigenous population, corporate oversight and many, many other problems that aren’t connected to global warming, and if we ignore them we will make our world a hell.

The scandal of supermarket pricing

■ I note the criticism, from media and others, of the pricing structure offered by our two largest supermarkets – Coles and Woolworths. How dreadful that these Australian-born organisations should rip off the community in such manner, with percentage increases over the past 12 months higher than some overseas operators. So, what to do? Let’s encourage the German multi-national Aldi group to bring these Australian profiteers into line. Such hypocrisy. A little like bringing in the fox to protect the chickens from the rats. Aldi are so huge internationally that they could possibly send Coles,Woolworths and IGA to the wall within the space of ten years. Is this what we want ? Just consider for a moment. All retailers seek to purchase their goods from farmers and manufacturers at the lowest possible price that they may then offer such goods at a sales figure comparable with competition. It’s called normal business practice. Further, nobody has a monopoly in the area of retail sales.

As for the little fellows who often claim that their product is locally sourced, the truth is that a huge proportion of their stock comes from sources identical (or similar) to that of Coles and Woolworths. Thus it seems strange that there is little criticism of the high prices charged for so-called organic fruit, vegetables, and free-range eggs, not to mention the ridiculous prices charged for bottled water. Finally, if one cared to check out the little fellows it would be noted that their price increases have been rather similar to that of Coles, Woolworths and IGA. Richard Kidby

Mullumbimby I was interested to read in an independent online media outlet today that Christmas bonuses for Woolworths managers are linked to how much money they save on staff costs. So if the lines are longer then they used to be next time you shop at Woolies, that may be the reason why. So much for customer service and job security.

Main Arm ■ The two emperors have finally been publicly exposed

for what they are – amoral big businesses that have forced a duopoly so that now Australia has the most expensive grocery prices in the world. In a country that feeds a lot of the world this is absolutely disgusting! We could see it coming, yet we were shocked when we learnt about the dirty deeds done dirt cheap deal Woolworths did with Mallams. What would happen to the old Mallams site (which has been a successful business for 100 years)? Another $2 shop and a McDonalds? Or maybe they will sit vacant like the Stewarts Motors site and we can watch while small businesses are priced out and left to die while our lovely town is environmentally raped. Unemployment would go up – don’t pretend it wouldn’t with all this new automation. Would they fund community events such as Mullum Festival and the Mullum Show? I don’t think so, I saw Dennetts and the Rural Co-op as sponsors (among others), but no Mallams and Woolworths. What cost to our community is that? The majority of people didn’t want them here. MCAN got signatures against the development from more than half our

If the youth can come up with ideas, I have no doubt that there are many people (myself included) who are only too happy to see dreams realised. One of the problems with youth of this generation is they expect so much, including adults to provide safe, interesting and fun things for youth to do. How about you kids getting a forum together and coming up with some ideas? We can bypass the council (who don’t seem to be interested) and get some good things happening. At the beginning of this year I invested quite a large sum of money in doing up my rented garage to provide a safe and interesting place for youth – decked out with everything needed. It is used regularly and I even provide pizza/coke/ nibbles etc but I can’t manage this on my own as I have a disability and I need help. If there were other parents or older responsible young adults who would be willing to help out, that would be great. Feel free to contact me on zion-jeuel@ westnet.com.au.

population for environmental, social and aesthetic reasons. The Council voted against them but they took it higher. Woolworths don’t care about our town. The just love the idea of ‘maximum exposure’. That’ll keep the shareholders happy! What would we see crawling along in the traffic jam that would be Mullumbimby if it were to go ahead? The ugly Big Box Bully.

Don’t fluoridate me

people’s hair curl if they knew. As a community, we can get behind our youth, but it is our youth that need to take the initiative and own it.

If all the other councils receiving water supply from Rous Water are duped into taking on fluoridated water, then poor fools them. The intimidation tactics used by Rous Water to overcharge Byron Shire for being responsible as non-user of said water smacks of big, bad business as usual. Why should we be subjected to contaminated fluoridated water? Byron should be getting cheaper water if anything (no fluoride). Byron Shire should be rewarded instead of being intimidated, thank you very much, Rous Water. Also to John Irving (Letters, August 25) – I don’t agree, why should we be subjected to being contaminated by a by-product of fertiliser? In big doses it’s dangerous. People need to be able to have clean fresh water without contamination, that’s our choice, John. Fluoride info sheets can be obtained from the petition table at Santos in Mullum.

Business as usual The fifty billion dollar deal struck last week between big oil and the puppet regime in Baghdad represents fait accompli for our mission in Iraq. Now, for the first time since they were expelled in 1972, western oil companies can start pumping Iraq’s oil. This is good news for the developed world, which desperately needs the extra supplies to help ‘grow the economy’. Without the steady supply of oil, production and consumption will grind to an ugly halt. Of course, this dependence on foreign oil will necessitate the ongoing security arrangements, as defined by the war on terror. Violent extremism will unfortunately be required to justify our continuing military presence in the oil provinces of Central Asia and the Middle East. To this end, private military corporations run by warlords and drug barons provide security for coalition forces while western intelligence agencies secretly run mock terror attacks that occasionally coincide with the real thing.

Pets and their troublesome owners Byron Shire has more than its share of dog attacks. Far too many dogs roam causing grief and in many cases, injuries. Responsible dog ownership should be a condition of any dog licence. Australians for Animals believes obedience classes should be a mandatory condition for all dog licences. In response to the letter from P Hussien in last week’s Echo, it is somewhat strange to see someone living in Alexandra Hills, Queensland, act as an authority on a very nasty dog attack in Wilsons Creek. I saw the injuries to the kelpie, the dog is lucky to be alive. The kelpie was being walked on a lead by a young mother with a baby in a stroller when the

pitbull attacked. Without intervention by the neighbours, it is doubtful the dog would have survived. The dog is still being treated by vets as the injury was extremely severe, the kelpie has not recovered fully. The young mother and baby are still traumatised by the attack and no wonder. With no apologies from the dog owner, no concern for the badly injured dog, it has been a brutal experience. There can be no second chances after an attack of this nature. The next victim could be a child. People must be able to walk the streets of their neighbourhood without living in fear of vicious dogs whose owners have no control.

Fantastic fair What a fantastic event Mullumbimby Public School’s November Fair was despite torrential rain earlier in the day! The organisation effort and team work given by all involved was fantastic. I don’t think people realise just how much has to be done for an event like this for it to be the success it was. The only negative thing I heard was shortage of helpers and the Lions had to step in at the last minute. How sad, but good old Lions, what would we do without them? So, come on, mums, dads, next year give a helping hand.

Yesterday my wagtail couple noisily defended their territory, as they always have – good company on a quiet, sunny afternoon. Today there is deathly silence. One of them was murdered by a cat. Just a heap of feathers is all I have left, the mate has disappeared. Grief is my guess. Where is your respect for nature, cat owners? But you wouldn’t have any respect, would you? Probably no shame either. I lost a water dragon a while ago, didn’t have a chance against the cat, didn’t even have a name. At least this little fellow had a name. Goodbye, Willy. Peter Wegner

Little suckers carry hidden invaders, with our help Story & photo Mary Gardner

‘WHY are there mosquitoes!’ my friend slapped at another one. He was so annoyed. ‘Why do they EXIST?’ I looked at the welts coming up on us both. As we went indoors, he said, ‘Why don’t you do an article about them?’ ‘Be warned,’ I laughed. ‘I can only investigate “how” not “why”.’ Mosquitoes are a type of fly. They are related to houseflies and often confused with the much larger harmless crane flies. Most of them have a very short lifetime, about four to five weeks maximum. The eggs float in water: dirty or clean, fresh or marine, depending on the species. Within a day or two, they hatch into small ‘wrigglers’. These depend on breathing air using one of two methods. Some species use a siphon and others use small holes on their abdomen. Either way, wrigglers must surface to breathe. Wrigglers spend a week or two eating bacteria and algae in the microlayer, that thin upper zone of a pool of water. As they grow, they burst through their skin four times until they are large enough to undergo a metamorphosis. They do this as they rest for a couple of days

in the form of a pupa. When they hatch into adults, they enter another world as flying insects. As such, they feed on flower nectar and mate. In order for the female’s eggs to develop, she needs a meal of blood from a vertebrate, an animal with a backbone. Once, in long gone days, she would have picked on a dinosaur or perhaps its babies. One theory about the origin of blood sucking imagines that close regular contact occurred in Jurassic nests, shelters or perhaps swampy feeding places. Mosquitoes got better at biting. Another theory points out that in a lab, if there is nothing else around, mosquitoes will bite their own living larvae. Perhaps this also happens in the wild. Switching to bite another creature would be easy enough and prove to be more nutritious After that bite, some females rest nearby. Others, depending on the species, move further away. Up to two days are spent digesting the blood meal and developing a batch of eggs. Once these are laid, she hunts another blood meal for the next batch. But the mosquito is racing against time.

bies, but she is also harassed internally. Some species carry viruses and others parasites. These wear down the dedicated parent or affect the eggs themselves even before the female can lay them. Now these viruses and parasites can also infect the animals bitten by mosquitoes. Dengue, yellow fever, Ross River fever and malaria are only a few examples of human illnesses carried by mosquitoes. There are no names for the illnesses mosquitoes endure. The first three diseases are caused by viruses. These nonliving things, bits of RNA,

hijack cells and force them to create more viruses. When the cells are full of these invaders, they burst and the viruses spread. The infected animals, now aching and feverish, create antibodies to fight back. Malaria is caused by a living creature, Plasmodium, of the group Apicomplexa. Incredibly, this microbe is fertilised in the gut of the mosquito. The little new creature embeds itself in the gut wall where it changes into a spore breeder. These spores migrate to the salivary glands of the mosquito. When the mosquito bites, spitting proteins to keep the

blood from clotting, Plasmodium spores in the saliva hop over. Using iron from inside human blood cells, Plasmodium spores mutate into yet another form which bursts from the cell and moves into others. Finally these mutants change again, now into male and female forms. They need to hop from the human blood to the gut of a mosquito before they can fertilise each other. They wait again for that mosquito bite. With only a couple of weeks to act inside the female mosquito, all these microbes are multiplying as fast as they can. Desperate, exhausted, the mosquito also has humans after her. But mosquitoes bite humans because humans, travelling and wrecking environmental havoc, disturbed longtime secure relationships. The mosquitoes, not having their usual monkeys, birds, cows, horses or local humans, switched to the new wayfarers. Trigger events have included tropical deforestation, the slave trade, imports of automobile tyres, air travel, dam building and war. Mosquito eggs, larvae and adults simply took advantage of new opportunities as old ones were lost. Add to that the campaigns

to completely eradicate mosquitoes carrying malaria. Decades of poisoning have forced mosquitoes around the world to develop resistance. Disease continues to flourish. But in April, Read, Lynch and Thomas published a new perspective about malaria eradication. In their paper on an internet open access journal, they suggest making pesticide use ‘evolution proof ’. They suggest resistance could be avoided by using weaker concentrations of chemicals and targeting the older, weary female mosquitoes. Killing this specific age group kills the ones more likely to be the transmitters of matured Plasmodium. Why hound every single mosquito? Andrew Spielman, Harvard’s Professor of Tropical Health, adds another dimension to the prevention of mosquito borne diseases. He points to examples around the world of upgrading housing and eradicating poverty. Screens on windows, modern sanitation and better nutrition create hope, which also works against infectious diseases. All this raises another question, as hard to answer. Why are we humans so proud, so quick to blame mosquitoes, while ignoring interrelationships on every level?

New mural for community centre

Hillbillies hit the beach

The senior students of Goonengerry Public School got a taste of surf culture recently when they attended Surfing Byron Bay’s Ocean Safe and Safe Surfing classes at Main Beach in Byron. The courses provide essential skills for enjoying our lovely coastline including basic rescue, identifying rips and body surfing tips. Despite the surly weather, the students had a blast. The junior students will also learn basic survival skills in an Intensive Swimming Scheme being run at the revamped Mullum pool from November 16 to 27.

Free Camphor Laurel symposium Byron Shire Council is holding a free Camphor Laurel Symposium in Byron Bay on Friday November 27 from 9am to 1pm. Councillor Patrick Morrisey said the symposium is being held to consult with residents and key stakeholders on the development of a policy and strategy to manage Camphor Laurel in Byron Shire. ‘We are hoping to attract about 50 attendees in order to gain a whole of community perspective in relation to Camphor Laurel and its impacts on the Shire.’ Cr Morrisey said Camphor Laurel means different things to different people. ‘To some, it’s a classified (W4) noxious weed rapidly spreading across cleared former rainforest and farming land that needs to be controlled. To others, through strategic intervention, it can help return cleared landscapes to rainforest. ‘Some see it as highly toxic while for others it’s just an-

other tree. Many harvest it for cabinet making, art and sculptural purposes and jobs creator or a source of firewood or fuel for electricity generation. It provides both opportunities and threats to ecosystem functions. ‘This symposium is an excellent opportunity for people with a considered view on Camphor Laurel to participate in an informed dialogue on how best to manage this Asian tree for a variety of purposes. Council is developing a holistic strategy for managing camphor and this symposium aims to inform that process.’ Cr Morrisey said the Camphor Laurel is a significant problem for Byron Shire with more than one quarter of the vegetated areas of the Shire comprised of the tree. ‘The morning will provide an opportunity to gather stakeholders’ views from electricity generation contractors, farmers, Landcare Groups, Country

Energy, tree felling contractors, woodworkers and sculptors on the way forward in managing the issue.’ According to Cr Morrisey, Camphor Laurel is a serious environmental weed but one that also contains positive values. He said Camphor Laurel provides important habitats for a wide range of threatened and common plant and animal species, and is an important seasonal food source for fruit eating fauna. ‘The broad scale unplanned clearing of Camphor Laurel sites could also disrupt wildlife corridors and threaten the biodiversity of the region. As a community we need to manage the issue of clearing Camphors, maintain biodiversity and look for potential value adding solutions to the problem.’ If interested in attending the event, contact Council’s economic development officer Jos Mitchell on 6626 7222 or jos. mitchell@byron.nsw.gov.au.

A graffiti-spattered strip of the Byron Community and Cultural Centre’s outside wall is about to undergo a dramatic transformation. Artist and local Oliver Buckworth – he responsible for the surreal wallscape outside Orgasmic Felafel in Bay Lane – has commenced work on a representation of the theatre set in the time it first opened, in 1910. He came up with the idea of celebrating the history of the building after conducting research which led him to some surprising data. Perhaps the most interesting – and it is this which will be depicted in the artwork – is the fact that, contrary to popular belief, it was a Vice Admiral Byron after whom the town was named. Grandfather of the

in the company of a goat. Upon his return to London he was relating this story to Captain James Cook who was about to set off for Australia, taking as a talisman the goat. When he reached the most easterly point of the country he named it after the Vice Admiral; the goat itself was the progenitor of the breed which used to frequent the cliff-tops around the lighthouse. Oliver’s idea is to convey a cast of characters based on this history and in doing so will, according to the Centre’s General Manager Paul Spooner, ‘beautify an area we can be proud of and reflect the history of the town.’ He dubs it ‘turning Graffiti Alley into Art Alley’. The only problem is the classic one of funding the project

have devised a raffle designed to raise the necessary money required to complete the mural. The prize will be the opportunity to be immortalised on the building, your face painted by Oliver as part of the cast of characters – and at $2 a ticket, or three for $5, it’s a very inexpensive way to guarantee your own eternity! There will in fact be five prizes for five portraits and for those reluctant to be artistically reproduced they can nominate someone who is not. Oliver is calling the project ‘Portraits Of Byron’ and raffle tickets are on sale now at the Community Centre. Results will be drawn in January 2010 at the opening of the Byron Arts Classic, and Oliver plans to have the entire mural completed by March.

Marine wildlife needs your help Jann Gilbert

Coastal erosion and management, climate change and rising sea levels are issues that seem to have finally hit the top of the agenda. However, while much of the discussion centres primarily on the consequences for humans, barely a word is uttered about the impact on marine wildlife. For the past 10-12 weeks more than 400 barrels of oil per day have been allowed to spew into the Timor Sea, poisoning marine animals and their food sources. Plastic refuse, which constitutes 90 per cent of all rubbish floating in the world’s oceans, is considered the number one danger to marine life and, ultimately, to the health of the oceans. Many people do what they can, others do nothing at all apart from consuming mindlessly and steadily contributing to the largest landfill sites in the middle of the Pacific Ocean – the Western and Eastern Pacific Garbage Patches, collectively known as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Organisations like Australian Seabird Rescue (ASR) see the impact of pollution, loss of habitat and other human consequences on marine wildlife, on a daily basis. ASR was established in 1992 by the late Lance Ferris following the rescue of a pelican hooked in fishing tackle. Since that time, ASR volunteers have been involved in the rescue and rehabilitation of seabirds and shorebirds, marine turtles and, to date, have rescued over 1000 Australian Pelicans. The organisation is also called upon by the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) and Seaworld to assist with mammal strandings. All of this work is done on a volunteer basis and ASR’s con-

tinued growth owes much to the dedication of its volunteers, the support of its sponsors and its own fundraising efforts. In memory of ‘the Pelican man’, ASR is launching the Lance Ferris Memorial Public Fund at a gala dinner in his honour. The Lance Ferris Memorial Dinner on December 12 at the Ballina RSL Club is the key fundraiser for ASR and every cent raised will feed and house seabirds and turtles, and (hopefully) help provide a few small scholarships for students doing research into marine wildlife and its conservation. ASR is also hunting for really good auction items for the evening; looking for sponsors to cover some of its volunteers;

and groups to purchase tables of ten (why not get together with some friends and book a table?!). Drag out your black tie best, enjoy fine food, and kick up your heels with entertainment from the Big Bandidos and others. Show your support for marine wildlife in memory of the man who made it his life’s work. Buy tickets, donate an auction item or sponsor a volunteer. If you can afford it, do the lot, and help ASR continue its vital conservation work. Phone Ballina RSL Club on 6686 2544 to book your tickets.

Nine things about the Sun The Sun is the closest star to us and that is why it looks bigger and brighter than the other stars you see at night. Most of these stars are actually bigger than the sun. Even though the Sun is only a medium sized star, it still could fit over a million Earths inside it. The Sun is about 150 million km from Earth, and while that might seem a long way, the next nearest star is more than a quarter of a million times further away again. It takes light eight minutes to reach us from the Sun, so we see the Sun how it looked eight minutes before! While the surface of the Sun is an ‘almost-balmy’ 55,000C, at its centre it is around 15 million degrees. You need these extreme core temperatures for nuclear fusion to occur. The Sun contains nearly 99% of the mass of the solar system – the remaining 1% comprises the Earth and the other planets and their moons, a few dwarf planets and many thousands of asteroids. The Sun is definitely the boss. Because the Sun is so much bigger than Earth, it has much more gravity. As a result, if you went to the sun and somehow survived, you would weigh much more there than here – 28 times more, in fact. So if you weighed 50 kg here, you would weigh 1400 kg there. Each second, the Sun loses 4 million tonnes of its mass as it is changed into light energy, some of which eventually reaches us here on Earth. Fortunately for us, the Sun still has enough fuel to power itself for another 5 billion years, after which the fate of the Earth, while not certain, can only be painted in various shades of grim. – Marie and Philip, The Starrynight Planetarium www.starrynight.com.au

Drinking sessions in Byron Bay

Local filmmakers win Victoria Cosford

Victoria Cosford

Employees from licensed venues in Byron Bay gathered recently in the Hotel Great Northern Backroom for interactive sessions on responsible drinking. DRINKiQ, an initiative of the global alcohol company Diageo, is a program designed to share information about alcohol and its effects with participants, making them better informed and more aware of

the choices they make when drinking. Utilising presentation, video footage, group discussion and activities, it is offered around the world (currently to 22,000 employees) to industry associations, marketing agencies and sporting clubs, and in Byron Bay was coordinated by Liquor Accord members Gary Charles and manager Nick from Cocomangas. There were three sessions conducted on the day, attracting a total of 43

Two SAE graduates from Byron Bay have just won first prize in a significant Australiawide short film competition. The AFI/Australia Post 200 Seconds Short Film Competition was a one-off event, as part of Australia Post’s bicentenary celebrations, which called on budding film-makers to produce a film no longer than 200 seconds in length and featuring a parcel. Walter Ratcliffe’s and Andrew Stansfield’s entry, entitled Delivery For Mr Droste, was shot entirely in the Byron Bay house they were at the time sharing in Marvell Street. According to Andrew it was shot ‘on a measly $300 budget... we then went on to compete with approximately 85 other entries, some clearly having budgets ten times that of ours.’ He told The Echo that ‘you have to shoot a lot to get three minutes and 20 seconds’ worth of content...We did about five and a half days staggered across two weeks; we had to wait for sunny days and for four of those days it was just Walter

and myself, Walter directing and acting and me behind the camera.’ Walter described the film as drawing ‘most of its inspiration from a combination of ‘The Little People’, a favourite episode of the classic television series The Twilight Zone, and the classic Droste effect, that is, a man holding a portrait of himself, who holds a smaller portrait. Inside that portrait is an even smaller man holding a portrait. This continues forever.’ He went on to say that ‘I find the idea of worlds within worlds fascinating and I thought it would be interesting if the smaller and the larger world were the same. Holding your entire world, including yourself in a parcel would allow some interesting and paradoxical activities to occur.’ The boys – who both met two and a half years ago at SAE and became firm friends – had only ever entered one other film competition before this one (‘not as major as this one’, Andrew said). Walter has subsequently moved to Sydney where he is working for

a post-production facility; according to Andrew he ‘wants to be a Hollywood director and he’s ecstatic with this win – it’s definitely his dream.’ As for Andrew himself, while thrilled about the award, he is ‘very happy doing what I’m doing at the moment’ – which is running his own business, based in Byron Bay, producing ‘corporate video work, medium-budget TV commercials and promotional material’. The greatest part about the boys’ win is that they are to be flown to Melbourne to attend the 2009 AFI Industry Awards and Ceremony and have their film screened ‘in front of the “big wigs” of Australian film and television’, said Andrew. ‘The other films in this competition had massive budgets: 15-20 people behind the camera, makeup artists, script supervisors and child actors. We’re both really into lowbudget. ‘With a bit of practical thinking and common sense you can make a film for not much money.’ As they have both amply and impressively demonstrated.

participants, and facilitated by Georgie Passalaris, Corporate Social Responsibility Manager at Diageo. At a midday session about 15 attendees, mainly young females, represented venues like The Rails, Byron Beach Cafe, Cheeky Monkeys and Thai@Byron. After a brief rundown on the program Georgie opened the floor up to discussion with questions such as What is responsible drinking?, What was your last drink, where and why? ‘This is just a conversation’, Georgie assured the group,’ I am by no means an expert and I’m not here to lecture. We’re adults and it’s your decision to drink or not to drink.’ She explained that while alcohol itself is as old as the hills, what is new is the shift in how people accept it together with the information now available to the general public. ‘There’s much more awareness of abuse than ever before’, Georgie said. At one stage the group was broken up into sub-groups for exercises involving butcher’s paper, felt pens and topics such as the three stages of a Big Night Out, asking for depictions of how you look, feel and behave at each of the stages. A sobering proposition indeed. The sessions were conducted at an opportune time to raise the awareness of responsible drinking, given the imminence of Schoolies and the holiday From left, sound engineer Sam Gain-Emery, director Walter Radcliffe and cinematographer season.

Jack’s trumps in free concert for youth Two Byron Bay High students who have just finished their HSC will be doing something positive and creative for the youth of this region during schoolies. On November 22nd their band Jack’s Union will be performing at the Byron Youth Activity Centre as part a combined music clip project between Screenworks, SAE and Byron Shire Council. The youth of the region are invited along to see three local bands – Jack’s Union, Dead Ends and Sing Sing – perform, as well as to be in the Jack’s Union music clip and to watch how a multi camera music clip is shot. Jack’s Union is a hard hitting, high energy teenage band based in Byron Bay. They have been playing at pubs, clubs and parties around the Northern Rivers for the past two years. Bass player Max van Stee and Drummer Ryan Pitt have just graduated from Byron Bay High School. Jake Donohue

recently attained his Diploma in Music at the Conservatorium. They all want to pursue a career in music. Belle Arnold, Council’s youth activity coordinator, said ‘Jack’s Union was selected for this amazing opportunity because they are a fabulous local youth band and have a long relationship with YAC and the youth activity workers. They regularly participate

in workshops at the YAC and they help promote the youth music events.’ The making of the music clip is a collaborative project between Screenworks, SAE and Council to promote the positive and creative elements of youth culture and help develop their music. SAE film educator Erik vonNeumann will bring in a volunteer student crew from SAE

to film the band performing live. Once Erik and his team have filmed the performance, they will take the band into the editing suite to show them how a music clip is edited. ‘We really want to give the band the opportunity to see what is involved in making a music clip,’ said Erik. Screenworks general manager Jill Moonie said, ‘We all recognise there is so much music talent in this region and this is a great way to combine a few different elements screen industry, education, music and the youth culture.’ Jack’s Union, Sing Sing and Dead Ends will be performing at the Byron Youth Activity Centre in Byron Bay on November 22 from midday. Entry is free and BBQ food is also provided. This is a youth event and is strictly alcohol and drug free. The filming of Jack’s Union will take place from midday till around 2pm.

Summer fun for youth at Brunswick Heads Michele Grant

Keeping our kids safe this summer and minimising drug and alcohol related harm is a major objective of Brunswick Heads Community Care’s CDAT youth activities team. North Coast Area Health Service’s Drug and Alcohol unit has provided funding to help us engage young people in a range of ‘diversionary’ activities. Helping young people organise their own entertainment, supporting their interests and providing for their needs is the main role of our voluntary support group. Following the success of our Fresh Chords musical events, we are planning a Fresh Chords Variety Night on Saturday

December 5 that will feature young musicians and performers from our local high schools. We also have a young team arranging a Hip Hop event – Bless tha Beatz – for Saturday, December 19. Both events will be held in the Brunz Memorial Hall in Fingal Street. There’ll be entertainment in the Soundshell on December 16 from 6pm to 10.30pm during the twilight market/ fireworks night. Young DJs are organising a POD party, so kids can plug in their iPods and dance the night away in Terrace Park. We are also planning Community Art projects to enhance our public spaces and help rein in the graffiti artists. We aim to get young people involved in

decorating the interior walls of the Housie Shed and create an everchanging evolving arts space. The mural on the adjacent storage shed in Banner Park also needs a fresh makeover. The theme for artworks is ‘Summer, Fun in the Sun’, and will hopefully reflect the many positive things young people get into over the summer holidays. Our next Art in the Park day will be held on Saturday November 21 from 10am at the Housie Shed. Young artists are encouraged to come along and get involved. Over Christmas ‘Fun & Games’ will be happening in Housie Shed. Alongside the Carnival and Bingo, we’ll have

old-fashioned, unplugged board games including backgammon, chess, Scrabble, Monopoly, Trivial Pursuit and the current favourite, Texas holdem poker. Tournaments can be arranged and we’ll have some gift vouchers to give away. Beach volleyball and cricket will be set up in Memorial Park from 4pm until dark, weather permitting! Get involved in our activities program. It’s a great opportunity for young people to interact with the local community, learn new skills and have fun while helping to build healthy networks and reduce the risks for our young teenagers. Please join us next Saturday in the Housie Shed in Bruns or call me on 6680 3163.

Christmas appeal for chopper

Finnies stages Christmas Fair

Westpac Life Saver Rescue Helicopter’s 2009 Christmas Appeal has begun. The ‘star’ of the campaign is three-year-old Rhys Ryan. Rhys, from Kyogle, suffered serious burns while on a camping trip with his family at Palmers Island during the last school holidays. He was airlifted by Westpac Life Saver Rescue Helicopter to the Royal Children’s Hospital in Brisbane for emergency treatment. Luckily, Rhys has been left with minimal scarring due to quick medical attention and a flight to Brisbane that took just 22 minutes with the rescue helicopter.

‘Children and adults alike will be entertained with rides, dazzled by an array of stalls and much more at the famous St Finbarr’s Primary School Christmas Fair, kicking off at 4.30pm on Friday December 4 at the school on Bangalow Road, say organisers. St Finbarr’s principal John Wilson believes the Fair is shaping up to be the best Fair ever. ‘We have invested significant funds in the school this year with new play equipment, outdoor furniture and landscaping so the school is looking fantastic. It will make a great backdrop for our famous Christmas Fair which has really come of age as we celebrates its 21st birthday this year.’ Catering for kids of all ages, the Fair will feature a wide variety of rides such as the thrilling Storm, the dazzling Cup & Saucer Ride, the spooky Bat Tower, the all-new Caveman Capers inflatable obstacle course and a giant Super Slide. There will also be entertainment including face painting, kids’ games and a special new area called Kindyland for the littlies which will feature a sand pit, junior jumpy castle and preschool traffic obstacle course complete with safety signs. Santa is also making a special visit to the school to give out some early Christmas presents.

Westpac Life Saver Rescue Helicopter general manager Kris Beavis said Christmas was the busiest time of the year for the rescue helicopter. He said during the holiday season, the helicopter could be called to attend up to six life-saving missions a day, at an average cost of $5,000 per rescue. ‘Every year over the Christmas period, we are called to attend an increased number of motor-vehicle accidents, camping accidents and beach rescues as people travel to enjoy their holiday season,’ he said. ‘Our costs rise substantially at this time because our aircraft need to be serviced more

regularly as our flying hours increase.’ Keeping the helicopter in the air costs $5.5 million a year and more than half of that money has to be raised from community donations and fundraising events. Rhys Ryan’s mother, Lenore Ryan, said she was extremely grateful to the helicopter crew for getting Rhys to Brisbane. ‘Hopefully, you won’t need their support this Christmas, or ever, but rest assured if you do, they’ll be there,’ she said. To make a donation, call 6627 4444 or go to www.helirescue.com.au, or go to any Westpac branch.

All new this year will be ‘Dunk a Spunk’. Kids will be able to dunk their parents, and some other good sorts, in the dunking machine. The rights to dunk some special celebrities will be auctioned during the evening! Renowned for its gastronomic Christmas delights, the cooking stall will again be bulging with Christmas cakes and puddings, shortbread, pickles, jams and chutneys. After enjoying a summer BBQ or a sumptuous curry, coffee and cake, a treat from the Kid’s Cafe, or perhaps a little tipple from the bar, the family can enjoy entertainment from the school choirs and band. ‘We are also featuring some of the artists from our Finnies’ Unplugged Evening we hosted earlier this year,’ said Mr

Wilson. ‘We have some amazing musicians in our parent school community who will provide a glorious array of entertainment.’ As a result of the generous donations from many local businesses, St Finbarr’s is conducting its biggest raffle ever. Prizes include Bluesfest passes, surfboard and many other great prizes. As Santa leaves to return to the North Pole at 8.15pm, fairgoers will enjoy a colourful display of fireworks which will wrap up the night’s entertainment. ‘The St Finbarr’s School community is extremely grateful to all the businesses that generously donated to, or sponsored the Fair, which makes this local community celebration such a great night out,’ Mr Wilson said.

how ponies, showgirls, sideshows, miniature horses, heavy horses, pedigree dogs, working dogs, jumping dogs, cowboys, dairy cows and a couple of bulls called Breathalyzer and Creamy Custard. All of this and a lot, lot more to see and do at the 110th annual Bangalow Show, November 20 and 21.

NEW EVENTS

Old fashioned billygoat racing, with teams of three and a goat, hopefully running in the right direction, will take place on Saturday afternoon. The Ring Stewards are still debating the rules finer details but the carts have been built and the billygoats are ready to go. A motor mower barrel race has been added to the ride-on lawn mower event to make things even more competitive, the ride-on mowers can be either modified or unmodified with $200 first prize up for grabs. Another new event is the Cheesecake of the Show held on the verandah of the Moller Pavilion, Saturday at 10.30am. Three judges – a chef, a cheese-maker and a ‘bloke’ will taste test the cheesecakes in front of the crowd to select the winner of the prestigious first place rosette. The cheesecake competition follows the infamous Tart of the Show at 10am, already an institution at the Bangalow Show. The only pre-requisite is the tarts must feature locally grown fruit. Following everyone’s favourite, the Team Stockman Ironman Event, sixteen of the area’s best horsemen and women will perform a spectacular troop drill, titled the Hooves of Thunder, ten minutes of incredible choreographed horsemanship. The Samba Blisstas will then perform for the first time at the Bangalow Show, heralding in the fireworks display at 8.30pm with their infectious drumming.

ENTERTAINMENT

Along with the program of exhibits and competition there is plenty of added entertainment to keep the family occupied. The hugely popular Children’s Pet Parade is on again Friday afternoon at four, (please no insects or spiders), pets entry into competition is free. Both Friday and Saturday will have reptile displays by Steve McEwen, Dale Formosa’s Dog and Duck Show and sheep shearing demonstrations. Saturday will also include musical performances by the much loved Perch Creek Family Jug Band and Somersault, magicians, children’s pony rides, Old MacDonald’s Farm, sideshow alley and a lot more. The Grand Parade of Champion and Opening Ceremony is at 2pm Saturday which includes the announcing of the 2009 Bangalow Showgirl.

Catch underground wunderkid Washington, the inspired and moving offerings of Jen Cloher & the Endless Sea, the wild vodka fuelled fury of Vulgagrad and the grace and wit of Vince Jones, Australia’s premier jazz performer. This, alongside the woman who’s been touted as the next big thing – Mama Kin, National Treasures, Archie Roach & Shane Howard and a whole heap more‌ email gigs@echo.net. au with subject header ‘Friday Fest’.

A L L YO U R C OA STA L E N T E RTA I N M E N T Everything from the 80s is coming back, high shorts, blokes with big hair‌ welcome back The Church to centre stage, the blokes who did messy grunge two decades before Shortstack. They shot to public recognition with Under The Milky Way, and with the relentless songwriting skill of Steve Kilby, they’ve never really gone away. The Church have just released an album Untitled 23 that has received rave reviews from critics and fans alike The Aussie Rolling Stone gave it an unprecedented 5-Star review. ‘A stunningly ambitious album of shimmering Rock.’ In the US the Rolling Stone raved ‘a genuine milestone in longevity and psychedelic invention.’ The Church have never really broken up. ‘We went through periods of inactivity. Having hit records is a blessing and a curse. We ride the crest of popularity beyond periods when it doesn’t rise very highly. It’s great when the curve works for you. The frustrating thing is when we put out an album and reviewers say ‌ “Another good album from The Churchâ€? – you feel like it doesn’t matter what you do it’s going to be a good album. They seem to connect this one, but it was made as randomly as the other ones. ’ Kilby is not just a singer and music producer. He is also a poet and painter. ‘I believe you can learn something from painting and bring it to your songwriting. I started painting about ten years ago after someone suggested I paint an album cover. Then someone wanted to buy it. Then I sold another one, and I started painting. I painted a load of rubbish and now I am quite mediocre at it.’ Like his songwriting, Kilby sources from everywhere, the

day to day, the imagination, inspiration and history. ‘I take things from all eras. But unlike music where I have lots of influences, when it comes to painting I don’t have that many. Sure there are some paintings I like but nothing that really influenced me. I am quite a niave painter. I think there are processes that apply across all art forms. It’s a bit like one language. You note how music is made, you write and you create music and then you can go on to apply that to other things. Painting is just one of those other things.’ Kilby is prolific. ‘I write the lyrics as they are needed. We’ll get together and write the music then I take the songs away and add the lyrics. I never labour over them. It comes naturally. If it isn’t all over in two minutes than I am surprised. I usually can’t write them down as fast as they are coming.’ When it comes to the creative process, Kilby believes that it’s always the first step that’s the hardest. ‘The hard thing is picking up a guitar, or a paintbrush or a typewriter. You have to learn how to use your influences. You have to learn how to replicate the feeling that it created in you, not the influence itself. That way people can’t tell where you are getting it from. If I hear something good or see something and want to replicate it, I put it through my own filter. If I felt a sense of space or sadness I’ll want to try and express that. No one can tell where it came from . You never run out of ideas.’ ‘There could be rockbands for the next million years and they would create different songs, the same with art. There are just so many ways of viewing themes‌ it’s infinite.’

Here’s a recipe for a perfect Sunday, brought to you by the Mullum Music Festival. Roll out of bed, pack your swimmers, grab your dancing shoes and prepare yourself for one of the best days of your life. Don’t attempt anything without a coffee… oh and don’t forget the kids. This is an event that they can enjoy as well. Check in for breakfast at the Poinciana, home of the Festival Club. If you’re lucky you might catch an early morning busker sunning themselves in the courtyard and the odd musician finding solace in a smoothie. Expand

shopkeeper, a business woman and a sugar dealer. I have three words: Lolly Shop Lady. Those who have witnessed her supreme calm in the face of sugar craving kids going ‘I’ll have one of those and two of those and… one of those… will know exactly what I am talking about. The woman is Mullumbimby’s answer to the Dalai Lama. I have never seen such unfaltering patience. I have never seen her lose it. I sometimes wonder if she goes home and spends an hour screaming at the moon. But I doubt it. I have done my research. I have enquired of other parents and those who frequent her sucrose temple and they all testify that she is as emotionally constant as Mary Poppins. Whether there is one customer or 40, she smiles

sweetly and gently tends to her tiny customer. She gives every child’s dollar the love and attention it needs, her manner as sweet as the jubes she good naturedly plops into red and white candy striped bags. Every $1 bag of lollies comes with $10 worth of love. Sometimes I think kids go to the lolly shop just to be treated with respect. I don’t know how she does it. When I take the kids in there I get an anxiety condition on her behalf. Surely she must be ready to explode. If that was me behind the lolly counter I’d be like ‘You’ll have 10 of these and 20 of these, now rack off you little nit infested shit head’ (and that’s just to my own kids). In an economy where one cent pieces no longer exist, she quietly counts them out. I’ve watched it take five

minutes for her to make $2. But it’s real. She’s genuinely lovely. She actually seems to like kids. Lolly shops are almost a thing of the past. In a climate of political correctness and fear of fat kids, enterprises dedicated solely to the distribution of sugar are viewed as negatively as tobacconists. They shouldn’t be. Lolly shops are a place of magic. Sweet solace from the daily grind. It’s one of the only $2 treats you can give your kid. If you are feeling stressed, having trouble managing your anger or can’t find peace in your world I suggest you go stand in the Lolly Shop for ten minutes and take note of your teacher. The Lolly Lady is in the moment, caught between blue sugar clouds, musk sticks and all day suckers (like me).

your vocal repertoire with Mr Percival, Lord of the Loop. This 10am workshop at the Civic Hall is a chance to spend time with the fabulous Mr P who is renowned for his improvisational techniques and his ability to link people with songs from the soul. The kids can stay at the Civic Hall for the 11.30am session of Curly Cousins. You might even get to catch the end of James Kenyon’s Workshop and most of Sussana Carman before a Spaghetti Lunch in the festival grounds when the children of Spaghetti Circus present a busking performance.

program strategy… a way to negotiate catching one of the 37 plus performances at your fingertips. Drop the kids at KidzKlub, specialists in kid’s entertainment and child minding at the Scout Hall from 1-5pm. (Just behind the Post Office). The Arthouse Creche is for those children who love to unleash their creative side with clay modelling, painting, beading, drawing, stamping, wire sculpture, stenciling (kids 3-13 and $10/kid/hour). So you don’t need to feel guilty enjoying yourself without them for a few hours… the kids are expanding their minds! Head back to the Bowling Club and catch Ange Takats, winner of the 2008 Lis Johnston Award for vocal excellence at the National Folk Festival. If you leave a little before the end you’ll catch the 18 strong ensemble, The Big Band at the End of The Universe and maybe Juzzie Smith down the other end of town. If you’ve

got teenagers, then head them up to the High School for Half Nelson.

Forget what your Mum said about waiting an hour and tog up for the pool. You don’t even have to walk. You can catch The Magic Bus and cruise on down for a dip and maybe catch the Blue Hulas in their ukulele heaven. While the kids are swimming you might want to develop a

Grab a beer at the Ex-Services and enjoy a bit of a trip down David Lane, pop across the road for idiosyncratic pop pin ups, CODA and then high-tail it back to the High School for everybody’s sweetheart, Jo Jo Smith. It’s back to back at the civic with Australia’s finest Jazz singer, Vince Jones followed by vodka swilling Russian toy boys, Vulgargrad. You’re gonna have to pick up the kids so go grab them, get some Pizza courtesy of Milk & Honey into them, walk the streets, enjoy the buskers and then nip up to the bowlo for Perch Creek Family Jug Band, the perfect act to bring the family together. Nip back to the Civic Hall and catch Tin Pan Orange, and Laneous and The Family Yah over at the Ex Services.… and then to finish the night maybe Fyah Walk at

Not the Average Yogi by combining his knowledge of yoga with his love for hip hop music, MC Yogi (Nicholas Giacomini) has created an exciting new sound (new genre?) that brings the wisdom of yoga to a whole new generation of seekers and

groovers. MC Yogi grew up in Northern California, painting graffiti and listening to hip hop. Inspired by artists like the Beastie Boys and Run DMC, he began writing and performing his own raps for friends at house parties. He spent most of his high school years at a group home for at-risk youth, and hip hop culture provided both a soundtrack and a creative outlet during those turbulent teenage years. Then at age 18 he discovered yoga. On a whim, he joined his father for a yoga and meditation intensive with a famous spiritual teacher from India. Deeply moved by this powerful experience, MC YOGI devoted himself to learning everything he could about the ancient discipline. He immersed himself in the physical forms of yoga, as well as meditation, philosophy, and devotional chanting. By combining his knowledge of yoga with his love for hip hop music, MC Yogi creates an exciting new sound that brings the wisdom of yoga to a whole new generation of seekers and groovers.

In Storer for Sara Sara Storer is the most awarded female artist in Australian country music history, having swept all before her when she took home seven Golden Guitars on one amazing night in 2004. Since then Sara has gone on to cement her place as one of Australia’s most important singer/songwriters. Paul Kelly, said, ‘Sara’s songs are grounded in real stories. You know she’s paid attention, heard the bush waking up in the morning, listened to the worries thrashed out at the kitchen table, smelt dry summer wheat up close, dreamed of far away places in a bedroom with a window on a big sky, driven miles on dirt and bitumen and fallen in and out of love. She’s found her own way to sing the stories that are all around her and then inside her, bubbling out. She doesn’t copy overemotive, fake sincere twangy country singers from overseas. She’s found her own restraint and steel and lets her songs do their sweet, sly work.’ Sara brings her stories to life in a gig at the Buddha Bar on Thursday with special guests Harmony James and Brendan Radford.

On Sunday November 22 their band Jack’s Union will be performing at the Byron Youth Activity Centre from 12pm as part of a combined Music Clip project between Screenworks, SAE and the Byron Shire Council. The youth of the region are invited along to see three local bands – Jack’s Union, Dead Ends and Sing Sing – perform, as well as to be in the Jack’s Union music clip and to watch how a multi camera music clip is shot. Jack’s Union are a hard hitting, high energy teenage band based in Byron Bay. They have been playing at pubs, clubs and parties around the Northern Rivers for the past two years. Bass player Max van Stee and drummer Ryan Pitt have just graduated from Byron High School. Jake Donohue recently attained his Diploma in Music at the Conservatorium. Entry is free and BBQ food is also provided. This is a youth event and is strictly alcohol and drug free. The filming of Jack’s Union will take place 12 – 2pm.

Geyer Pride Sometimes words aren’t enough. All the things that have and will be said about RenÊe Geyer, one of the world’s finest singers and Australian music legend are true and undeniable, but words alone cannot encapsulate this diva. Frankly I’m terrified of her. She almost ate me for dinner last interview I did with her, so I’m standing back to admire her from afar. She’s an amazing powerhouse of a performer. I guess you could say RenÊe Geyer is RenÊe Geyer, a unique talent, not a singer whose career is dependent on yesterday or tomorrow’s hit song, but someone who lives for her next performance, on stage or on record, someone who refuses to rest on her laurels. The voice was always there. From the first time she opened her mouth those who heard turned their heads, but that wasn’t enough for RenÊe Geyer, still isn’t enough for RenÊe Geyer. She’s much more now than she ever was. Saturday November 28 at the Bangalow Bowling Club. Doors open 7pm / Show starts 8pm. Tickets $30.

The Works of Whitley Saturday night at the Hotel Great Northern, welcome Whitley to the stage. Following on from his critically-lauded debut The Submarine, Whitley returns with stellar follow up, Go Forth, Find Mammoth. Written and produced by Whitley, and engineered in a ramshackle studio on the Victorian Coast, the new album pushes the talented songwriter to his limits. This well-realised follow-up picks up where his debut left off in its warmth, beauty and intimacy, however it carries a much bolder aspiration. Multiple harmony vocals, strings, pump organ,

dubstep; it seems a common progression of late, why do you think that is? A: ‘Well I think it’s a natural progression… sound keeps evolving as humanity does. Trance has its place, but really had its heyday in the 90s and early 2000s. The current cutting edge sounds that are the freshest in the electronic music world are dubstep, glitch hop and crunk. I guess to the sound connoisseurs that have journeyed through genre after genre over the years, the place they’ll be at right now is where the new most innovative sounds are – which is in the dubstep groove. And let’s face it – who doesn’t want to get down and dirty on a dance floor? You can’t help but lose it when those sub bass frequencies make you move. Maybe the collective are ready to ground down with the bass these days, rather than hyping it up with trance frequencies.’ Q: Do other female artists inspire you? Who? Why? A: ‘Of course, it’s always great to see other women getting out there and slamming a dance floor as it is still such a rarity. There’s still very few women that make the distance, due to the competitive ‘boys club’ nature of the electronic music industry – it’s not an easy road to walk. So that said, there’s not many inspirations for me to list as there aren’t that many women to list – but to name a few – I am a big fan of Ana Sia from the USA, one of the few female glitch hop/ dubstep DJs in the genre; and Ghettafunkt, fellow female label DJ from Omelette Records who has worked hard to create a brilliant reputation for herself and slays every dance floor she graces.’ Q: Please tell us about your Submerge Chill Festival? A: ‘Submerge Chill Festival was Australia’s first outdoor electronic music chill festival. It was an experiment to see

if an entire event could be dedicated to downbeat and ambient music – we tried a different formula from the normal outdoor festival model to see what the response would be like – incorporating a holistic healing village, circus and performers, art installations, VJs, workshops and only downbeat sonics. The intention was to celebrate the ambient spaces within art, sound and self.’ Q: When can we hear you? A: ‘I’ve been on tour quite extensively for the past month or so between Melbourne, Brisbane and Byron Bay and just got back from playing at Island Vibe Festival, Deya Dova’s album launches in Brisbane and Byron, EGA conference, supporting Vibesquad and ILL.GATES, and playing at Ukitopia Festival in Uki… you can next catch me at Strawberry Fields Festival on November 28, in Byron Bay.’ www.myspace.com/djdakini.

STARS WITH LILITH

ARIES: During this challenging week it pays to stay real and be humble rather than bluster. Resist falling into the trap of blaming outside circumstances, look for the hidden gift in a difficult situation – it’s there waiting for you to find and use. TAURUS: Listening without engaging is the least stressful way of keeping this week’s peace. Just don’t let others think they’re being ignored – assure them their concerns are valid. While not an auspicious time for the let’s-sort-it talk, there’s still the possibility of a financial windfall. GEMINI: If others are grumpy this week you’ll rightly assume that’s their business and get on with yours, which is channeling your planetary ruler in the sign of motormouths into communicating your ideas clearly and smart-marketing them in new ways to a broader customer base.

The world title match between Viswanathan Anand and challenger Veselin Topalov may be six months away but Topalov’s manager Silvio Danailov has wasted no time in running down the World Champion. Anand, whom most chess fans and commentators regard as the friendliest World Champion since Boris Spassky, has been busy this week fighting for first place in the Tal Memorial tournament in Moscow – the strongest tournament of 2009 – but for Danailov Anand is a spent force: ‘Anand is resting on his laurels; he is almost not playing nowadays. Let’s not forget he is 40 years old now and it is difficult for him to keep the pace of the younger players. At his age there is not much energy and he is reserving it.’ (Danailov’s comments look rather strange at a time when Anand is testing himself at Moscow and, soon, Wijk aan Zee, while Topalov is not due

Best speak softly and tread gently as this week’s relationship planets battle punishing opposition, with warrior goddess Venus in Scorpio ignoring orders from His Majesty Leo Mars CANCER: A week when tempers erupt, accidents happen, loved ones morph into Basil Fawlty and is it even worthwhile getting out of bed? Treat yourself and others gently, try not to turn the crab cave into Bad Mood Central, don’t curse passing strangers and this too will pass… LEO: Rumbles in this week’s career jungle bring crunch time for rocky relationships as well. Operate from the heart rather than the ego, and if you’re lucky a eureka flash of understanding will throw light on a partnership power surge in time to avoid fried wiring. VIRGO: While your ideas are spot on, this week needs extreme tact and diplomacy in presenting them. The present planetary dynamic highlights any limiting beliefs you have about relationships, giving you an opportunity to update them with something better, fresher, more current – and more fun.

LIBRA: If certain cunningly disguised Libran traits show their face this week, you’ll know Saturn’s trotting out the first of its spine-stiffening lessons via a hefty square to Pluto, planet of unfinished business. Deal with this and the rest of the year will be a breeze… SCORPIO: Tuesday’s Scorpio new moon is this year’s prime time for long-term goal setting. The rest of the week is surprisingly volatile and could erupt suddenly in encounters with stubborn others who refuse to back down. Walk away from power plays and no-win situations. SAGITTARIUS: This week needs you reflective and centred rather than reaching boiling point in zero seconds flat. So be cool, be smart, restrain your heart and postpone big decisions till next week when the dust settles and cosmic constellations are more Sagfriendly.

CHESS by Ian Rogers Play at Byron Services Club, Mon 7-10pm

to play until February!) However, Danailov, the man most responsible for the 2006 Topalov v Kramnik world title match in Elista sinking in scandal, continued to put the boot in, explaining that Anand was preparing to use every trick in the book to destabilise Topalov. ‘In the next six months Anand’s team will do everything possible to create unfulfillable conditions during the negotiations for the match, in order to make us nervous. The main thing for him is to keep the title, as it gives him privileges. However, we have gone through Elista so we are ready. We will have a doctor, psychologist, nutritionist, fitness instructor…’ Danailov makes great play of Topalov’s world number one ranking, neglecting to mention that it was maintained (a few points ahead of Carlsen)

primarily by Topalov leaving the Bulgarian team stranded halfway through the recent European Team Championship when he was leaking ranking points. Meanwhile, Anand has let his pieces do the talking in Moscow, winning the following fine game against Peter Svidler. Moscow 2009 White: V Anand Black: P Svidler Opening: Grunfeld 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nc3 d5 4.cxd5 Nxd5 5.Bd2!?

Mungo’s Crossword

CAPRICORN: Major planetary shakeups are under way at the moment, during which control and micro-management are less effective than spontaneously surfing the waves of change. Assist others in their transitions this week – one of the rare times when mixing business and pleasure isn’t recommended. AQUARIUS: This week Aquarians have their travelling shoes on – if not physically, then in the universe of out-there ideas. Right now the people you meet, conversations you have, information you receive and choices you make will all have significant bearing on the immediate future. PISCES: This week suggests reducing commitments and socializing, for three reasons: Because small things could feel more upsetting than usual. Because citizens are in lecturing, criticizing, blaming mode. And because a big realization you’ve resisted for a long time is about to catch up with you.

humanity. Meanwhile, a cabal of the filthy rich, forewarned about the catastrophe, have forked out a billion Euros each to secure berths on the giant arks that await them in the mountains of Tibet – surprise, surprise, the meek will not inherit the Earth. Jackson (John Cusack) gets involved when, on a camping trip with his kids in Yellowstone National 2012 We’re well primed for looming Park, he stumbles on secret Army stuff. While there he also disaster, are we not? Global meets Charlie Frost (Woody warming, nuclear jihad, a Harrelson), a raving, bug-eyed pandemic of some grotesque mutation of ebola-meets-swine prophet of doom who knows what is coming and, lucky for flu, or simply evermore reality Jackson, also knows where the TV, the abyss is just around galleons of salvation are – he the corner. Writer/director Roland Emmerich, responsible has the map in his shed, filed between ‘conspiracies’ and for the spectacularly idiotic ‘Marilyn Monroe’. I like Woody. 10,000 BC, has the apocalypse He has an air of ‘I can’t believe triggered by an explosion on I’m being paid to do this’ that the Sun that causes Earth’s always cheers. The faeces hits core to overheat and the the fan as San Diego slides continental plates to shift. A into the broiling Pacific and meeting is convened of the calamity overwhelms India, most influential heads of South America and Europe (but state, whose brainpower and no word of Belongil!). Jackson leadership will surely save the planet – but no, it’s curtains for and the kids, his estranged wife

Moon Director Duncan Jones is the son of David Bowie, but let’s forego the Major Tom witticisms – they’re already done to death. The drama is set in the near future. A clean source of energy has been discovered on the Moon and Lunar Industries, its major supplier, has established oneman depots up there from where the precious asset is transported by regular missile departures. Sam Bell (Sam Rockwell) will soon complete his three-year contract at one of these remote outposts. It has been a long haul and Sam, wanting only to return to his

wife and daughter, is beginning to fray at the edges. His mental state is further tested when, unexpectedly, another human appears on the scene – but it is him, a clone of Sam Bell. The first act of this engrossing film does not augur well, with Sam’s solitary existence being hard to share, but the magnetism of Rockwell’s performance demands your involvement. I can’t think of a more compelling effort from an actor this year, especially as the relationship between the two Sams develops. You know how when doubles are on screen together, there is a sense of the actor speaking to nobody? Even with today’s technology the illusion feels hokey. But not here. Sam #1, in physical decline, brings to mind the wretched Ratso Rizzo (he whines, channelling Hoffman, ‘I can’t move my legs’ – an unforgettable moment in Midnight Cowboy) and the other, healthy Sam playing Joe Buck to him, dons a pair of sunnies as they discuss heading to the warmth of the south when they get back to Earth. A third character, robot GERTY, voiced with unflappable, water-torture omniscience by Kevin Spacey, is unconditional in its support of both Sams as they await a rescue party that is on its way to relieve Sam #1 of his duties. Designer Tony Noble, working with a budget that is two zeros shy of 2012s, has created a minimalist environment of muted colours and hard surfaces in a living space that is high-tech but in need of sprucing up, and when Sam ventures out to inspect the operating plants, the dusty, empty landscape replicates all that we have ever seen from NASA footage. Nathan Parker’s screenplay slyly builds

suspense and, empathising with Sam in his godawful predicament, you can’t help but become emotionally entangled – a rarity in the futuristic flick (by contrast, 2012, is pure schlock). Terrific, and a welcome reminder of how riveting, provocative and visceral sci-fi can be when liberated from overblown CGI. ~ John Campbell

Whatever Works This film is Woody Allen’s new comedy starring Seinfeld cocreator Larry David who plays Boris Yellnikoff, an eccentric, pessimistic New Yorker. Boris

is a quantum physicist and an all round grouch who has abandoned his privileged upper class life and now leads a more bohemian existence. His life is thrown into turmoil when he meets a runaway young girl from the South, and when her family get involved, the entanglements that follow are a sparkling collision. The witty, brilliant screenplay is vintage Woody Allen; the city of Manhattan a fabulous character; and the terrific cast create a great mix of hilarity, neuroses, joie de vivre and love. ~ Lounge Cinema

www.dendy.com.au

Kate and her plastic surgeon suitor, and a sleazy Russian and his squeeze, sweet Tamara, head for Tibet. Dialogue is more or less superfluous, which is just as well, because you can only hear half of it above the explosions and thousand-piece orchestra as, ‘like a painted ship upon a painted ocean’, the vessel our heroes stow-away on is thrust willy nilly through the flooded valleys of the Himalaya. ‘We’re rushing towards a 29,000 foot obstacle,’ its captain cries. ‘What could that be?’ Given their location, it seemed pretty obvious. ‘It’s Mount Everest you moron!’ I wanted to holler – but there was no time. Down in the bowels of the vessel, something is tangled in the gizmo that lets the hydraulic gate close, thus disabling the engine. Ruck me red! Who’s going to swim through the flooded chambers to get it out? Cusack, more your rom/com Casanova, wouldn’t have been my first choice for the mission, but cometh the hour‌ And what will become of Tamara’s pooch? ~ John Campbell

Yes, it is nearly Christmas, and time to consider gifts. I continue to believe that books are one of the best gifts you can give someone because they can be forever. As the world becomes increasingly non-physical books are an endangered species, like paper, like letters – and it fills me with horror. For now, however, they continue to constitute such a source of pleasure – specifically, for me, fiction and cookbooks. It is the latter which make such magnificent presents because cookbooks, for all those slaves like me, one can simply never have too many of. Here, then, are three – all quite distinct from each other but for their own respective reasons all worthy of becoming part of any self-respecting cookbook collection. Edith Ferns Let’s Cook & Kiss – Keep It Short and Simple has just been relaunched, ten years after its initial publication in 1997. A ‘benchtop guide to quick cuisine’, it resonated at the time with all those busy people who wanted, in Edith’s words, ‘stress-free cooking’ but who still wanted ‘to eat global food and feel creative’. The first publication was reprinted and sold out; a decade later, thanks to a neighbour who ‘decided that as it was such a useful guide for all generations‌ we should bring it back to life’, Edith was introduced to the Amazon concept whereby the book can be ordered online via Amazon; it is then printed on demand and supplied within a couple of weeks.

Edith has been living in the Byron Shire for the last six years, and finds it ‘exciting that Let’s Cook still resonates with young cooks and men in particular, probably because it is approached from a very practical point of view.’ It is indeed crammed with well setout recipes for quite delicious dishes requiring minimum effort and financial outlay – Carrot Souffle, Nutmeg Cake with Ricotta Cream, Pumpkin Pudding with Caramel Fruit all call out to me – and there are lots of useful tips on how to jazz them up or render them less fattening. If some of the recipes are reminiscent of ‘70’s magazines reliant on frugal ingredients and things in tins (and the garlic granules bother me), most of the rest compensate by being so quick and easy. In terms of presentation, Master Chef’s George Calombaris’ latest offering is at the other end of the spectrum. Weighty, with sophisticated layout and sumptuous photography, his Greek Cooking From The Hellenic Heart is both a compendium of traditional Greek food and a personal account. I was never mad about George in the inaugural MasterChef series: I found him faintly embarrassing with his turns of phrase and his serious demeanour – and yet in this book he becomes a loveable mama’s son who also happens to be a highly skilled chef and successful restaurateur. Most of the recipes are familiar and, in the way that regional

Italian peasant food is, reliant on fresh seasonal ingredients and uncomplicated cooking techniques. Certain dishes shine: Peppered Figs (to go with cheese); a Watermelon, Fetta and Rosewater Salad; Walnut Syrup Cake – and George’s remarks in his childlike handwriting scattered throughout are candid and endearing. Finally, hot pink with black felt embossing ‘to get you in the spirit’ of the season is Legless by Kylie Banning, a compact collection of desserts based on grog. There are unbaked cheesecakes, sorbets and ice creams, ‘shots’ and tarts; there is the worryingly named Liquid Ecstasy Pineapple Boat ( Midori, Bacardi, Malibu and Blue Curacao); the glamorously photographed Chocolate Gateau is possibly the most difficult recipe in the book; its fondness for packet mixes and prepared ingredients like Instant Pudding is both timeefficient and disappointing. Still and all, here’s a happy little book with lots of fun ideas for the festive season; it’s cocktails as desserts – or perhaps the other way around, for those who love both – and its pretty cover alone would make it a gorgeous gift. Let’s Cook & Kiss– Edith Ferns (Tide Bells) – available online through Amazon or from Island Luxe in Bangalow Greek Cooking From The Hellenic Heart – George Calombaris (New Holland) RRP $50 Legless – Kylie Banning (New Holland) RRP $24.95

DISCOVER SEAFOOD A Seafood Discovery Trail was launched recently by Tweed Tourism and Connecting Southern Gold Coast, designed to inspire website users to create their own self-drive itineraries throughout that region. The 50-odd listings cover everything from fish markets and fish’n’chip takeaways through to award-winning fine dining restaurants like Fins at Salt Village. Aquaticbased leisure activities such as whale-watching, snorkelling and crab-catching river cruises feature alongside eateries and surf clubs, unveiling a different facet of the Gold Coast by showcasing the quieter southern beaches and sleepy fishing

villages of the Tweed Coast. To download the Seafood Discovery Trail go to www. seafooddiscoverytrail.com, www. southerngoldcoast. com.au and www.tweed tourism.com.au. And, speaking of Fins, owner/chef Steven Snow expects his new Italian restaurant Bellini to be open in about three weeks time – just in time for long and languid summer lunches!

Rip Curl Girls Go Surfing Day The Rip Curl Girls Go Surfing Day dates have been officially announced and will be run by Surfing Australia Surf Schools on the weekend of November 28-29 at over 60 beaches around Australia. Now in its 19th year of operation the program is a huge weekend on the surfing calendar, and provides an opportunity for females to take part in a professional surf lesson with accredited Surfing Australia instructors in the lead-up to summer. ‘Surfing Australia is proud to be involved in such a long

running and successful all-girl surfing event which is active, healthy, and fun and appeals to all ages,’ said Surfing Australia’s Sports Development Manager, Chris Symington. With ambassadors such as two-time ASP Women’s World Champion Stephanie Gilmore taking part the Rip Curl Girls Go Surfing Day is a great initiative in promoting women’s surfing. ‘Rip Curl’s Girls Go Surfing Day is a really positive program, it’s important for raising awareness of female surfing and getting girls in the water!’ said Gilmore. ‘It’s also a good chance for you to have a fun day at the beach with your

MBCC closes with hattrick against Byron

A group of 4th grade cricketers from the Mullumbimby Brunswick club defeated Byron Bay by 17 runs in dramamtic circumstances on Saturday. Keeper Jake Cullen, swapped gloves for ball with just 4 overs to go and Byron needing 17 runs for victory with three wickets in hand.

Normally bowling a medium pace delivery, Jake switched to leg spin as he had a niggling ache to a back muscle. With just four deliveries, Jake had won the match for the 4ths, who were desperate for their first win of the season and Jake achieved the first hattrick of his cricketing career.

This is a real cricketing milestones that comes to only a few cricketers both professionals and weekend hackers. Pictured for the MBCC 4ths are: Kelvin Davies, Allistair Oakman, Jake Cullen and his magic ball, Phil Carlson, Sam Wightman, Sean McQueen and Billy Hedditch.

Eureka Redbacks Earn Their Stripes in Sydney

The Eureka Primary School Redbacks, Jack Gordon, Sam McCarthy, Liam Harland-Meek, Nick Fisher and Jesse McCarthy are now ranked 11th in the state after their efforts in Sydney at th recent State Athletics Championships.

Government splashes out $1.5 million in grants Not-for-profit and community sporting groups across New South Wales, can now apply to have a share in $1.5 million worth of funding. Minister for Sport and recreation Kevin Greene announced last week that applications for a share of the grant would be open until December 21. ‘The New South Wales government is committed to providing funding that supports community based sport and recreation groups,’ he said. ‘Three grant programs offer government support for local sport and recreation programs.’ The three programs are: the new Sport and Recreation Participation Program which provides grants of up to $10,000 for projects that help people get out to play sport or be physically active – priority will be given to projects that target women; Aboriginal communities; rural and remote communities; people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds; people with a disability and people from disadvantaged areas. The other two grants will be for the Sport and Athlete Development Program which will provide grants of up to $15,000 for recognised state sporting organisations and peak bodies to fund innovative projects that build industry capacity and the 2009-2010 Disability Sport Assistance Program which provides grants to sport and recreation programs that specifically meet the needs of people with a disability. www.echo.net.au

Mr Greene said the new system has been streamlined to make it easier to apply. ‘For the first time, NSW Sport and Recreation will be accepting online applications, making the lodgment process far more convenient,’ he said. ‘On top of that, more than 50 information seminars are running in communities across the state to help applicants better understand the new programs and processes. The Sport and Recreation Participation Program has a primary focus on increasing regular and ongoing participation opportunities, the aims are to, increase regular and ongoing participation opportunities in sport, recreation or structured physical activity in a sustainable manner. The program also hopes to facilitate longterm change that will benefit people facing barriers to participation in sport, recreation and structured physical activity, develop the skills of volunteers and capacity of community organisations that provide participation opportunities, build the capacity of a community organisation to enhance their provision of sport and recreation services and provide accreditation or training to enable sport, recreation and physical activity programs to be conducted in locations across NSW and for specific communities. The Sport and Athlete Development Program plans to invest in the industry to provide increased opportunities for participation in sport and

recreation with the aim of increasing opportunities for athletes, coaches, officials, sports leaders and volunteers in activities such as professional development and attendance in representative competition, encouraging innovative and flexible approaches to increasing opportunities and reducing barriers to participation. The program will assist disadvantaged or under-represented groups to better participate in sport and recreation and will contribute to building industry capacity while assisting the industry change and grow in a sustainable manner and respond to emerging issues and challenges. The Disability Sport Assistance Program (DSAP) aims to improve opportunities for people with a disability to participate in sport and physical activity.The primary focus of the program is on increasing regular and ongoing participation opportunities for people with a disability by supporting community based organisations with the capacity to provide such opportunities. The program will increase regular and ongoing participation opportunities for people with a disability in sport or physical activity in a sustainable manner. It will facilitate longterm change that will benefit people with a disability facing barriers to participation in sport and physical activity, build the capacity of the organisation to enhance their provision of sport and physical activity programs for people

with a disability and provide accreditation or training to develop the skills of volunteers to increase the capacity of the organisation to enable sport and physical activity programs for people with a disability. ‘Applications for each of the three programs close at 5pm on December 21 and I urge sporting and recreation groups to make the most of this valuable opportunity,’ said Mr Greene. Information on the application process, including dates and locations for information seminars, is available at: www.dsr.new.gov.au/grants or phone: 13 13 02.

The Eureka ‘Redbacks’ 4x 100 Sprint relay team have just flown back from the State Athletics Championships in Sydney, where they put in a stellar performance. The five boys – twins Jesse and Sam McCarthy, Jack Gordon, Liam Harland-Meek and Nick Fisher, went into the State Carnival as the undefeated North Coast Champions in the small schools category. Although Eureka Primary School currently has only 30 students it has a long and remarkable history of producing talented State athletes year after year. For over two months the ‘Redbacks’ trained hard, learning mental toughness, split second timing and ultimate teamwork skills. The boys’ coach Rick Knight, was pleased and proud with the performance of the team. ‘Their determination and self motivation has been outstanding,’ said Rick. ‘They have learnt the valuable lesson that if each of them puts their mind to achieving a goal, however daunting, it really is achievable with hard work, determination and teamwork’.

In front of a large crowd and supporters at Olympic Park in Sydney the boys slashed a second and a half off their previous best race time in the senior preliminary heats and semi final. They are now ranked 11th overall in NSW. What makes their achievement truly remarkable is that the twins are only in year five and Liam is in year four. These boys will be in with a huge chance of winning State medals when they get a second bite at the cherry in the senior relays next year. This has been a wonderful outcome that is close to the heart of the whole Eureka Federal community as in a strange twist, each of these boys has had a life challenge to overcome. The whole Eureka school community has been right behind the boys and that certainly has been a factor in their amazing success. The team would like to thank their sponsor Craig Watson Chemist, the school staff and all the friends, students and family that helped with fundraising to help to get them to Sydney.

Backlash This week on page 10 we look at the state government’s new gross feed-in tariff for renewable energy.
