Carters out in force for derby

The squeal of the axles, the roar of the crowd. Two hundred and fifty carters took part last Sunday in the popular annual Bangalow Billycart Derby, wowing onlookers with thrills and spills, especially 11-year-old Emilio Jimenez-Swain of Newrybar, who slid over the line upside down to take out the inter-school challenge for the second year running.

Celebrate biodiversity Byron Shire Council is calling on residents to celebrate the International Year of Biodiversity with a series of free seminars. Open to everyone, the first seminar will be held on Tuesday 25 May from 7pm to 8.30pm at the Council chambers in Mullumbimby and feature biodiversity in Byron Shire and how people can play an active role. Council’s biodiversity extension officer Wendy Neilan said the seminar is an opportunity to see why the things we enjoy about living in the Shire are inextricably linked to biodiversity. ‘The region in which we live is a nationally significant region for biodiversity,’ she said. ‘It’s comparable to the south-west of Western Australia and the wet tropics of North Queensland. ‘The evening will focus on Council programs and the actions it is taking to help conserve biodiversity. Natural resources staff will discuss Council initiatives funded under the environmental levy including Land for Wildlife, bush regeneration on Council lands, cane toads, Mitchell Rainforest Snail and Bush Future Projects. Ms Neilan said the shire’s forested hinterland is an essential link to the water catchments and habitat for hundreds of species of plants and animals. ‘The Byron region is beautiful because of its diversity. ‘Not just people, but the diversity of animals and plants.’ Q Biodiversity comment, page 12

Council to seek ecologists’ input to draft Local Environmental Plan Eve Jeffery

Last week Byron Shire councillors voted 6-3 to invite the Conservation Ecologists Association to make a written submission and oral presentation to councillors and council staff on important environmental attributes in the Biodiversity Conservation Strategy, so that they might be considered in the draft Local Environmental Plan (LEP) currently under preparation.

7

The question of the inclusion of local activist Dailan Pugh met with some vague grumbling but it was decided that, though not technically qualified, Mr Pugh had information that would be valuable input. Cr Diane Woods asked about the effect this would have on the timeframe of the draft LEP. Council’s executive manager environment and planning Ray Darney said he believed the workshop would delay the LEP up to

two months, a point which Cr Woods suggested was yet another delay to a process that was already taking too long, hampering the intention to have the draft completed by the end of the current Council’s term. Cr Woods said she felt embarrassed that the draft was taking so long. She suggested that getting the document to the point of applying for the Section 65 Certificate from the state government would enable the plan to go

on public exhibition, at which time submissions could be made to suggest change. Mayor Jan Barham said she felt as Council had made a priority commitment to biodiversity, it was wise to have the workshop. ‘The LEP is a very complex instrument,’ she said. ‘It is only by working on it constantly that you can have an understanding of it. It is a multifaceted complex process with many layers. We need to deliver

the best possible draft.’ Ms Barham said that as the expert advice was free, a community service, then Council would be wise to listen. The meeting also decided to invite the Environmental Defenders Officer Northern Rivers to present their legal assessment of the Standard Instrument LEP format and provide information regarding other NR LEP assessments.

Shawn farewelled after tragic drowning Story & photo Victoria Cosford

About 70 people gathered at Suffolk Park beach last week for the memorial service of Byron Bay-based Shawn Williams. Shawn, 32, an American who had been living locally for about a year, drowned several days previously while out swimming with friends. He had only been married for several months to Tamara. An enormous heart engraved in the sand was ringed with yellow and pink flowers and strewn with leaves and bouquets. Close friend Angela Annarino spoke to the crowd about Shawn and how ‘on the day Shawn went swimming he went swimming with his buddies. He loved the beach, he loved the dolphins. We don’t know why he was taken...but we have to trust in our hearts that in the bigger scheme of

things he is where he is supposed to be...Yesterday we washed the sand off him and he looked like an angel.’ Everyone stood in a circle and held hands to recite the Lord’s Prayer. The day was as golden, limpid and calm as had

The Mullumbimby Creek street has already started a bush regeneration project and is aiming to expand their project under Sustainable Streets. Mullum Creek resident Jane Wickers said, ‘Many of us share a passion for biodiversity and we’re working together to provide a healthy habitat for wildlife. Sadly, people drive at such high speeds on the nearby stretch of Left Bank Road and almost daily we see water hens and their young, snakes, bandicoots and other animals killed or injured. We’d love some help to address this problem.’ The Sustainable Streets program aims to foster community inspired sustainable living at a neighbourhood level. Council’s sustainability officer Graeme Williams said the program has been revised to be more flexible and cater to the unique needs of each neighbourhood. ‘We hope to facilitate a direction for the neighbourhood that’s a natural and practical step forward,’ he said.

Sustainable Streets program coordinator Nina Bishop addresses the South Golden Beach gathering.

Under the program, people are invited to choose workshops ranging from community food growing, biodiversity, energy efficiency or composting and earn sustainability stamps up to the value of $1,000 towards the goals of the street. Households are also encouraged to discover their ecological footprint by using a user-friendly online calculator. Sustainable Streets program coordinator Nina Bishop said the footprint calculator was a real eye-opener for most people and gave direction for future street based projects.

Family fitness a benefit of Paddle The inaugural 10-kilometre Mullum to Bruns Paddle on Sunday May 30 is the perfect opportunity for families to get active together on one of the shire’s most stunning and vibrant waterways, according to organisers. ‘Regardless of whether you are on a canoe, kayak, stand-up paddleboard, surf ski, rowboat or dragon boat, paddling is a great way to improve the body’s cardiovascular and aerobic systems while also increasing upper body strength,’ says one of the event organisers, Kim Rosen. Starting at Heritage Park in Mullum and concluding between the bridges at Terrace Park in Bruns, this community fundraising event is separated into two main divisions: the TURSA Paddle Challenge

Paddlers, sponsors and beneficiaries all gathered at the river on the weekend to test craft and water in preparation for the inaugural event on May 30. Photo Eve Jeffery

which sets off at 9am, and the non-competitive Echo Fun Paddle, which follows at 9.30am. Registrations are taken on the day from 8am. ‘This section of the Brunswick River is a real treat for

the nature loving paddler,’ says Scott Rawstorne, who will be in the Blue Sky Ballina stall at Brunswick Heads, signing copies of his latest book Paddling around New South Wales. ‘Noone can deny that the Byron

Shire is an incredibly gorgeous part of NSW, but to really appreciate its inner beauty you need to grab a watercraft and take the scenic route.’ The first ever Stand-up Paddle Challenge, will also tackle the 10km course from Mullumbimby, and is probably the most athletic of all the challenges. Surf Club nippers, juniors and seniors can take part in the Brunswick Surf Club Board Challenge, which will set off from Ferry Reserve, a much shorter course. All registrations will be taken on the day. The cost is $20 for the open challenge events, $12 for the fun paddle ($5 for kids) and $5 for the board challenge. Entry forms are available from the Brunswick Heads Visitor Centre or online at www. brunswickheads.org.au.

Call to retain Roundhouse site as cultural hub Eve Jeffery

Opponents of the Roundhouse site subdivision at Ocean Shores attended last Thursday’s Ordinary Meeting of the Byron Shire Council to ask for an eleventh hour stay on the vote to proceed with the plan. Local historian Frank Mills addressed councillors in a plea to save the site for public use. ‘The Roundhouse site wasn’t developed into building lots because it was considered of such significance, that was the planners’ intent for it to remain community land,’ he said. ‘This was written into the original document given to councillors of the time.’ President of the Ocean Shores Art Expo, Ri Fraser, is one of those who believe the site would be of greatest benefit to the community as a cultural hub. ‘If this land is sold off it is gone forever,’ said Ms

Fraser. ‘It should be a pivotal community focus for culture and creativity, youth projects, archives, history, Aboriginal exhibits, education, gardens, social gathering and local employment. It would give heart to our community.’ Ms Fraser says that the Ocean Shores Art Expo committee had discussed raising financial support for a gallery.

‘We would also be keen to be involved in planning, volunteer running of and fundraising for such a project.’ Mayor Jan Barham said that the sale of the land was necessary to recoup the historical debt of $3.9 million accrued after a court judgment required Council to compulsorily acquire the site. Cr Barham was adamant in

her response to the residents group. ‘There are historical consequences with this land. An art gallery would not get up.’ The mayor said that it may be possible to reserve some of the lots from sale to be used as open or public spaces, but she said as it is, the complete sale would not cover the debt. ‘I could never support an art gallery,’ she said. ‘Even if we sell all of the lots, we will not recoup all of the money that has been spent. We could save one or maybe two blocks for a park or something, but we need to sell the other lots.’ Councillors were divided in their opinion of the use of the land, but a vote was successful to defer a decision to allow a public meeting to be held at the Ocean Shores Country Club on Monday 24. The meeting be at 7pm – all members of the public are welcome.

Artists at Piece in new gallery

NRT in Bangalow Northern Rivers Tourism (NRT) has moved into a new office in Bangalow. ‘After two productive years at The Channon, we’re excited about the move to Bangalow, which is very centrally located to all points of the compass in the Northern Rivers region,’ said CEO Russell Mills. The office is located at Suite 5, 20 Byron Street, on the first floor of former banking chambers. The new telephone number is 6687 0695, fax is 6687 0749 and the email address remains the same at nrt@ northernriverstourism.com. au. Postal address is PO Box 601, The Channon NSW 2480.

Lismore Regional Gallery director Brett Adlington, Art Piece’s director Nadine Abensur and Merran Morrison from the upcoming artScape Biennial 2010 discuss Nell Pearson’s untitled painting at Friday’s opening of the Art Piece Gallery in its new home. More than 400 people turned out for the ‘New Lease’ exhibition featuring work by many local and nationally acclaimed artists, including James Guppy, Emma Walker, Michael Cusack and Michael Taylor. Unmissable on Mullum’s main street, Nadine’s gallery is housed in a building which has raised many eyebrows for its neoclassical influence – which as a gallery suddenly makes sense.

Mullum welcomes Tour de Cure cyclists

Cyclists from the Tour de Cure called into Bridglands in Mullumbimby on Friday on their way to Brisbane, picking up a snag in bread and a donation of over $18,000 from local cyclist David Duff on the right of the big cheque. The Tour began when, after finishing a ride back in October 2006, Geoff Coombes and Gary Bertwistle shared a coffee and chatted. What started as a coffee between two mates led to Tour de Cure’s registration as an Australian charity to raise funds for cancer research and the inaugural tour in May 2007. A team of 29 people cycled 1,175km from Brisbane to Sydney and raised $284,179. The Tour is now into its third year and has raised over a $1 million.

Four hundred people attended the Uniting Church, Mullumbimby last Tuesday for the funeral of Rob Batson. It was a fitting tribute to a much loved and respected local figure. Born in Brisbane on October 9, 1931, the eldest of six children, Robert John Batson spent the first nine years of his life in Jimna, a small country Queensland town. The family moved to Nanango, where they spent the next twelve months, and then with his parents, two sisters and a brother, moved to Mullumbimby, where his two younger brothers were born. Rob remained living in the town until his death. For pocket money, Rob worked for the local milkman. He completed his schooling in the third year at Mullumbimby High School and worked with his father building cottages and sheds for local banana growers. After the second world war his father was able to buy land and plant bananas, and Rob worked with him on a share basis for about eight years. When the banana industry was quiet, Rob worked as a barman at the Brunswick Hotel and at the whaling station in Byron Bay.

Rob and his dad purchased a wood carrying business, supplying fuel to the local abattoir, until it closed down in 1965. In 1959, Rob married Denise Lindsay. They purchased a sand and gravel business and shortly afterwards, his brother Bert and Bert’s wife Christine formed a partnership and soon added a ready-mixed concrete business. After a few years the readymixed concrete business was

sold and Rob’s two younger brothers, Philip and Keith, became partners in the business known as Batson Sand and Gravel. The company purchased an oyster lease as well in the Brunswick River, which Rob worked towards his retiring years. In his younger days, Rob was a keen and active member of Brunswick Surf Life Saving Club gaining his bronze medallion and taking part in surf

carnivals, with his best event being boat races. He was an active member of Mullumbimby Rotary Club, but his favourite activity was fishing. In later years he took up lawn bowls at Brunswick Heads Bowling Club, thoroughly enjoying the sport and friendship. In 1981 Rob was diagnosed with diabetes which slowly came against him. Last year it was discovered that he had lung cancer, and he died on May 5, 2010, aged 78. He is survived by his wife Denise, children Gregory, Judith Towner, Terry, and six grandchildren, Ben, Sophie, Rebecca, Stephanie, Nicholas and Sam, sister Heather Hammond, brothers Bert, Philip and Keith. His sister Margaret predeceased him. Pallbearers at the church were sons Gregory and Terry, son-in-law Peter Towner, grandchildren Ben Towner and Nicholas Batson, brother Bert Batson, and assisted by grandson Sam Batson. A private cremation followed the service. Rob will be sadly missed by all who were privileged to know him.

“I never want to have to cross the street to avoid you.” David Runciman

The community came out to support and enjoy the sixth postcard-sized art event held this year at Station Street Studios in Mullumbimby last Friday night. The ‘Streetscapes, postcards from your street’ theme was a celebration of our community’s creativity and diversity. Inspiration for entries came from a variety of sources from our natural environment to domestic and introduced animals to cross-dressing. Ideas were expressed in detailed prints, expressive drawings, complex photographic manipulation, colourful paintings and imaginative three dimensional works. Children embraced the theme with enthusiasm and creativity. Viewers at the exhibition were greatly impressed with the originality and imagination of our young people. ‘Across the board, in all categories, the entries were outstanding and engaging,’ say organisers. Enthusiastic sponsorship from local businesses allowed prizes to be awarded in many categories. Art group c.a.s.e. at

Local brewery enters 6 premium beers in the Australian Beer Awards Byron Bay Brewery has entered 6 of their premium beers in the Australian International Beer Awards, the largest annual beer awards in the world. With entries from over 40 countries, this year the competition includes 485 international beers and 622 national beers. The competition is run by the Royal Agricultural Society of Victoria in conjunction with the University of Ballarat. There are a total of 16 trophies available and Byron Bay Brewery’s Head Brewer, Stefan Walker, hopes to bring some of that glory home to Byron Bay. Commencing his career at St Arnou in Auckland, Stefan returned to run a brew-onpremise in Adelaide for three years. He moved on to become Head Brewer for Barossa Valley Brewing where he designed the bottle conditioned honey ale Beesting. After working as Head Brewer for Mildura Brewery, Stefan became Byron Bay’s Head Brewer in August 2009. “I have worked meticulously to create and perfect the beers that are unique to our brewery and the Byron Bay area. This is locally brewed beer that I am FRQÂżGHQW LV FRPSHWLWLYH DW D national and international levelâ€? says Mr Walker. Pleased with the line up of beers, Licensee Peter Sinclair thinks testing the beer is the best part of the process. “Our customers are not shy in telling us what they think about our beer, we take that feedback onboard and use it for future development. The end result is beer that our customers love because they helped us develop it!â€? remarks Mr Sinclair. The winners of the awards will be announced at the presentation dinner in Melbourne on May 20. But you can judge for yourself at the Brewery on Skinners Shoot Road, Byron Bay.

The signature beer. This allnatural, all malt beer has two hop DGGLWLRQV ZLWK WKH ÀDYRXUV VWUDGdling between lager and ale. It is the combination of aroma, body, and fruity bitterness which make this beer the great all-rounder.

More than just a place to brew beer, Byron Bay Brewery is in the process of establishing itself as one of the best live entertainment venues in the Bay. Once known as The Piggery, and more recently the Buddha Bar, this location has seen some of the greatest musicians that have ever played in this region. The owner of Byron Bay Brewery, Barry Schadel, is dedicated to bringing that sort of quality entertainment back to the building that he spent more than two years refurbishing. “It’s important that the Brewery brings to the people of Byron Bay high quality live entertainment, whether it’s from an international act or a local artist. My aim is to make the name ‘Byron Bay

English Bitter Only classic British barley varieties and hops are used in this celebration of English ale. Each of these beers are available on tap at the Brewery and are as fresh as beer can possibly; straight from the brewery to your glass. Or for just $10, you can book in for a brewery tour which includes a tour with Head Brewer Stefan Walker, tasting of each of the beers, and a Byron Bay Premium Ale cap.

Byron Bay Premium Brewery

Entertainment / function room

Brewery’ synonymous with great live entertainment and most importantly, give local musicians the opportunity to share their talents� says Mr Schadel. Since the completion of the refurbishment in July 2009, the Brewery has already experienced a myriad of live performances. Names such as Wolfmother, The Potbellez, Angry Anderson, Glenn Shorrock, Eugene Hideaway Bridges and Salmonella Dub have graced the stage but more than that, there are plenty of not so big names that have rocked the house with their eclectic music styles. The state of the art sound system was specially selected and installed by experts in the industry to ensure the acoustics of the main stage are second to none. Equipped to be used as a live recording studio, the main stage leaves many artists longing to return to the Brewery and ‘do it all again’! The main stage sits within the Brewery’s function room which can hold up to 200 for a wedding, corporate function or party. The

distinctive interior design of the room adds character and warmth to the events that it hosts, and the appetising and affordable function menu adds to the appeal of this impressive space.

murals including the rock legends stage, painted by acclaimed artist Pierre Mol, this is the best place to experience what the Brewery is all about; great beer, great food and great live music. Not to be out done, the recently completed Brewery Garden, at the day spa end of the building, is a must see. The lush vegetation and occasional visit by a water dragon makes this tropical oasis the perfect place for sipping cocktails and catching up with friends. The area can be booked for exclusive use and with room for up to 100

MICHAEL CURRIE FUNERALS ‘Gentle Dignity’ Affordable Funerals with the Shire’s only locally owned Funeral home Mullumbimby 15 Towers Drive, 6684 6232

Six years on, TOOT is still on track Last Sunday marked six years since a train has run on the Casino-Murwillumbah line. ‘For six years the train line has been a political football to gain votes yet nothing concrete has happened,’ said Karin Kolbe from Trains On Our Tracks (TOOT). According to TOOT, a proposal for a local light rail service between Casino and Murwillumbah, making frequent runs and stops along the way, has gained widespread support from business, young people and regional leaders. ‘Now more than ever we need to seriously look at reopening the Casino to Murwillumbah train line. This is a precious piece of infrastructure that must not be abandoned,’ said Martin Brook, founder and director of Brookfarm. ‘I fail to see why our politicians cannot see the real benefits of rail. It’s the solution to so many of our urban pressures. ‘The whole world is putting in rail systems yet we, in this region of villages who most need connectivity, have a track we don’t use. Many of our workforce make the daily commute from the inland areas including Lismore. Opening a station near the new sports fields next to the industrial estate [at West Byron] would be a huge plus for the businesses in our

area and in turn create more job opportunities.’ On Tuesday June 29 a rail forum involving government representatives and community leaders is being held to address the realities of such a service. ‘Six years is long enough,’ said Paul Spooner, general manager of the Byron Community and Cultural Centre. ‘For the safety and future of our young people and the Northern Rivers economy, let alone our carbon footprint, we need to bring our train home.’ See more at www.toot.org. au.

The shipping news In related news, Ballina MP and Shadow Minister for the North Coast, Don Page, again brought to the attention of the NSW Parliament the urgent need to find transport alternatives for the ever increasing amount of freight travelling between Sydney and Brisbane. ‘I believe the Pacific Ocean is a perfect freight corridor that has the potential to substantially alleviate the enormous amount of freight being transported along the Pacific Highway,’ Mr Page said. He said while road and rail transport

will always be significant players in moving freight from one destination to another, he is very interested in new types of ocean going vessels. Coastal shipping has been developed in the United States as an alternative, efficient, costeffective and economically viable way of moving freight between ports. ‘There is much potential for these new types of vessel in Australian waters,’ Mr Page said. ‘They travel faster and are smaller than conventional ships, which make them more economically viable than the slower, larger freighters of the past.’

Step back to the 1950s for the first ever Coorabell Public School fete at Coorabell Hall on Saturday May 29, 10am2pm. Students, parents and staff are buzzing with excitement as they plan performances, competitions, stalls, and activities for the big day. ‘Get in the mood, wear a fab 50s outfit,’ says Magira Holmes of the P&C, ‘There’s amazing prizes for best dressed and the Coorabell Hall is going retro for the big day too!’ ‘Inspired by the Bangalow CWA ladies we are running a cupcake competition,’ says judge Leah Roland of ‘Kids in

the Kitchen’ fame. ‘We want preschoolers, grandparents, professional bakers and keen home cooks to enter. Look for entry forms around town, or on the Coorabell Public School website. Think novelty or traditional, 50s or now, this is all about get up to your elbows in icing and having a go!’ Leah will be joined on the judging panel by Charlotte Clark, our resident glamour girl from the Bangalow CWA, and Trace Gordon, founder of Wildbite biscuits and cakes. The overall cupcake winner receives the Royal Cupcake Crown and an abundance

of gifts from generous local sponsors. And don’t forget to have your say in the People’s Choice Awards – the winner gets a hot air balloon ride over the hinterland. There will be white elephant stalls, retro clothes for sale, as well as plants, books and toys. There’s an art auction featuring works from some of the region’s finest artists. Food lovers, don’t eat beforehand. There will be delicious curries for sale – undoubtedly the Coorabell Public School signature dish – as well as a sausage sizzle, chicken satays and vegie burgers.

An attempt by Byron Shire councillor Tom Tabart to stage a probe into Council’s finances failed to get the numbers last Thursday. At Council’s ordinary meeting Cr Tabart moved that Council engage a firm of forensic accountants with local government expertise to assess the present Council financial system against best practice in comparison with other local government models to advise on possible improvements and/ or changes. He also moved for advice on a system of investment practice and protection for the current and future investment portfolio. Cr Tabart suggested that the resignation of Council’s longterm finance manager Jim Bolger created the opportunity for a new look at systems and practices, with the possibility that Council might benefit from reassessment by independent professionals. ‘In any organisation, no matter how well served by its management, practices and systems will develop over time that may benefit from scrutiny by a fresh set of eyes,’ he said. Cr Tabart said that in the course of the meeting, Council general manager Graeme Faulkner was given the floor to express his opinion of the motion and that the GM felt he was ‘between a rock and hard place’ when answering such questions, but still managed to observe that as far as he was concerned nothing was amiss in the workings of the finance department but that the motion could well raise the suspicion that some people thought there was, and this was unfortunate. In that case, concrete examples would be needed. When Cr Tabart spoke to The Echo he said there was opposition to the motion. ‘In reply to the motion, Cr Tucker made much of the assumption that this was an inference that all was not above board in the depths of the finance department and that he felt this was

an unwarranted and “implied� scurrilous attack on the good name of council employees.’ In his reply, Cr Tabart said that although he had been at pains to point out that his motion was purely to afford the opportunity to look at council’s systems after about 20 years of one-man operation, everyone seemed to jump to the conclusion that he was on some sort of witch hunt. During the meeting the motion was amended to include that the ‘Local Government Association be consulted regarding suitable consultants’ and ‘that terms of reference

The headline they were hoping for might have read: ‘Very quiet budget, not many hurt.’ If the populace had pouIt was a headline for a day.

The outlook is not that they had been populist and irresponsible. Their ambition of wild-eyed radical greens, but of scientists from across a wide was for the budget to be seen as range of disciplines. ‘Natural systems that support economies, lives and livelihoods firm but fair, and by and large they succeeded. across the planet are at risk of rapid degradation and collapse The declaration that the surunless there is swift, radical and creative action to conserve plus would be restored three and sustainably use the variety of life on Earth,’ is basically the outlook.

down. Which of course raises the question: if the estimates were so hopelessly awry last year, why should we believe them this year? Well, partly because things appear to be a bit more predictable; in spite of the turmoil in Greece and the risk of it spreading around Europe, the recovery is now unambiguously under way and Australia is at the head of the pack, with government debt and deficit figures minis-

dia as well. As they point out, they pay their normal taxes on this bonanza, but it seems only reasonable to expect them to share their windfall with the country that provides it. Their reluctance to do so is understandable, but more alarming from the government’s standpoint is the fact that their campaign of bluff and bluster seems to have considerable support among the general public.

And the prognosis for revenue seems soundly based; while there is always a chance something disastrous will happen to the Chinese economy, demand from India is steadily increasing and global reliance on coal and iron ore is not going to fall away any time soon. In this context it should be noted that in spite of Tony Abbott’s claims to the contrary, eliminating the deficit does not depend on the new Resources Super Profits Tax; assuming that this passed through the senate after the election, it still does not start to phase in until 2012-2013, the year of the first projected surplus. Perhaps by then the hysteria will have subsided. It should, because the miners, like the government, have been making huge unexpected gains not through good management but good luck. Their skyrocketing profits are due entirely to the upsurge in world commodity prices, driven by demand from China and now from In-

week’s Nielsen poll was the finding that more voters oppose the new tax than support it, a statistic so contrary to the normal Australian tradition of cutting down the tall poppies that it seems hard to credit. Obviously, Rudd was hoping for a boost, but it appears that Abbott, with his kneejerk opposition to the great big new tax which will kill the goose that lays the golden eggs, will be the one to get it. Certainly he emerged last week from his talks with BHP Billiton boss Marius Kloppers and Rio Tinto boss David Peever with the satisfied expression of a party leader who has put all his funding worries behind him for the foreseeable future. And in his budget reply speech he delivered in spades, that being the miner’s preferred suit. It is a peculiar Australian convention that although the real treasurer delivers the budget, the shadow treasurer does not reply to it: the starring role is usurped by the opposition leader. In 2010 this was a pity,

because not only would Joe Hockey have been funnier, but we would have been spared the spectacle of Tony Abbott trying to be statesmanlike; disappointingly, he did not appear in his budget smugglers. His diatribes against what fanciers of exotic wildlife interpret as the Grey Pig Newt Axe were, of course predictable, but the only new lines were promises to freeze the public service (actually the Canberra winters are already quite cold enough) and to reduce government advertising; given that the present government had already cut this to half what it was under John Howard, the pledge was somewhat underwhelming. Government ministers, especially Lindsay Tanner, who has apparently appointed himself as Abbott’s nemesis, criticised the effort as a meaningless collection of negativity, slogans and sound bites, which was not quite fair: certainly it was a bit thin on content, but Abbott came across if not quite as a statesman, at least as a coherent and articulate campaigner. The relief on his own side was obvious. Many years ago a radio pundit named Eric Baume was famous for delivering passionate denunciations of just about everything, After one such effort Baume asked his producer what he thought of the speech. Well, replied the producer, it was bullshit. Baume gleamed through his spectacles. ‘Ah, yes,’ he chortled. ‘But it was good bullshit.’ Tony Abbott is emerging as a demagogue in the same mould. Readers will recall that a couple of weeks ago I compared Kevin Rudd with Groucho Marx. Interestingly, Baume in his heyday bore a disturbing resemblance to Groucho. Indeed, the same spectacles, nose and moustache set would do for either.

Camping in one’s van considered as housing If it is true that there is only one path out of environmental degradation and that is to attempt to live simpler, then camping needs to be encouraged rather than discouraged. Camping in one’s van is a positive environmental act, in that while one is camped, one is not putting out for fixed housing which is generally more environmentally taxing than a van not moving. Furthermore the attempt to discourage van parking is a contradiction to road safety that exhorts drivers to rest when tired or drunk. The problem of waste from a van can be dealt with by providing a Simpler Living Camper’s Licence which tests applicants’ ability to bury turds well enough that they cannot be dug up by animals. Burying a turd and returning carbon directly to soil is not an irresponsible act in a society experiencing environmental chaos, even though conservative urban myth that wishes to remain oblivious to

environmental degradation might think so. The main objection to turd burying is that people fear campers will irresponsibly pollute. I will repeat ad infinitum and ad nauseum, that while there is belief people are irresponsible, there is the creation of irresponsible people. The reverse is also true; while there is planning as though people are responsible, there is the creation of responsible people. At the present moment there is a proposal by Rous Water to doubly pollute tap water not just with chlorine but now with fluoride even though both chemicals are known poisons and their synergistic (or combined) toxic effects have not been tested. It is not as though there is none of the population who are prone to cancer. One can only assume water supplies are to be fluoridated because authorities consider people too irresponsible to tend to their own teeth. The attempts to discourage van parking and the fluorida-

next Monday May 24 at 7pm at the Ocean Shores Country Club. If this community wants to keep the land for whatever public purpose – and it is the last block in Ocean Shores in Council (our) hands for public use – then we need to pack the Club and bring suggestions to Councillors as to how we would like this land to be used. Since the Roundhouse DA was drawn up in 2001, the world has dramatically changed. Council should not be acting on a decade-old DA. Community now urgently needs its public spaces more than ever, for local gatherings, gardens, markets, art and culture, discourse, parks, entertainment, youth activities, music, public enterprise and local employment. Ocean Shores has no infrastructure apart from a hall. No public library, no art and cultural centre, police station, fire station, information centre, hospital or clinic, sportsfields, high school, public toilets, skate parks – for a population bigger than Byron Bay. To have a say, be at the meeting.

It will take more than advertising to get Justine Elliot reelected (see her ad in The Echo May 11). Maybe instead of smearing the Opposition, our almost invisible local member could be more of an advocate for health in Parliament. In particular I note that she did nothing to stop closure for lack of funding the MISA mental health outreach program which operated successfully in our local area, her electorate, to meet a vital need.

Roundhouse future The Roundhouse is a magnificent two hectare site on a ridge overlooking the entire sweep of the bay, the coast to the north and the hinterland ranges. The real estate office was a fabulous 60s glass circular building which was bulldozed by the then Council. The original plans for the Roundhouse site on Orana Road, Ocean Shores, state that it be held for community use, with the intention of an art and Aboriginal cultural gallery. Due to historical controversies, Council bought it back from a group of developers. Last Thursday, Council threatened to carve it up and sell off small blocks to recoup money. But the community has never been consulted. Councillors wisely and unanimously deferred from proceeding with the sale. The community has organised a public meeting for

the new SEPP Affordable Rental Housing anyone with an urban block over 450sqm can build a secondary dwelling of up to 60sqm in size. This was/is good state government policy, unfortunately the legislation does not make it clear whether local councils can levy development contributions, so confusion prevails. Tweed Council doesn’t charge them, Ballina and Lismore don’t quite know and Byron does. Should they? Well maybe…. except that this is one of the few effective affordable housing mechanisms out in the public sphere and Byron Council is one of the few councils on the record It seems to me that we latecomers to this land have the infrastructure both logistic and economic. Surely the resources belong to the disinherited, those survivors of the invasion. Until they are included as a significant part of the equation our inheritance laws are a farce and we won’t ever be able to balance the books. Jim Nutter

Farewell Steve There is an old saying ‘only the good die young’. Well, it’s happened again with the sad passing of Steve McDermott. My wife and I only knew him as he treated us for aches and pains. With strong hands and a soft heart he gave us relief. Big as he was, he had a gentle soothing nature with a quirky smile. We hear of many tales of him helping people. At my last visit he spoke of his many plans to go on helping those in need. Sadly it won’t happen. My wife and I would like to pass on to his family our best wishes, something I’m sure many more will be doing. The man will be missed but I’m sure his spirit will live forever in our beautiful land. If there is a heaven then I’m sure he will be up there looking down, checking out our beautiful coastal paradise and the people who live here. God bless you, Steve.

as having an Affordable Housing Strategy. Council in its wisdom is now levying fees of between $15,000 and $20,000 on average suburban blocks (which have previously paid contributions as part of original subdivision approval) when they apply to add a secondary dwelling (a granny flat). This would I believe be enough of a disincentive for people to either not build them or subvert the process by building without approval. Byron Shire Council did not cause this problem but it has reacted poorly. People looking to build new secondary dwellings are doing it to rent and make income but that is a poor reason to discourage them. This is a social issue, particularly in Byron Shire, where housing has become unaffordable for so many. Why does Council have to make everything that is simple so complex?

Identifying high conservation areas is not rocket science In response to John Hellmers and Sandy Gilmore (Letters, May 4) I wish to reiterate that my intent is to try to get all areas identified as being of genuine high conservation value reinstated to the Environmental Conservation (E2) zone in the new LEP. I am happy to see areas that Council previously intended to include in the E2 zone removed if they are not genuinely of the highest conservation value. Though I see no justification for deleting our best rainforest, oldgrowth forest and habitats of endangered species. If a few of these areas are incorrectly mapped then it is easy to fix the maps. I want to see the important areas protected because, despite all the good landholders out there, some people will

clear, log, and otherwise degrade these areas unless constrained. We should not return to the old (pre 1986) ideology that people should be allowed to do whatever they want on their land, irrespective of the environmental consequences. Time and time again we have seen this approach lead to community conflict and loss and degradation of important areas. It is because of this ideology that we are a national hot spot for threatened species. I am happy to own a property with an extensive area of rainforest that is zoned for environmental protection. This zoning has not forced me to revegetate the degraded areas or denied me access to government funding, though it has rightly limited where I can

build. I am actively regenerating the property because I want to and I believe that the protective zoning has had a beneficial effect on my management. I wish it had been zoned for protection a long time ago, before it was so badly degraded. I hope that it will be zoned for protection long after I die so that people will not come in and undo all my work just so they can profit from logging and clearing it. We can appropriately protect areas of genuine high conservation value and still allow the full diversity of agricultural pursuits in rural areas, just not in them. Given his comments, I trust that Sandy will support the reinstatement of our few remaining oldgrowth forests to the E2 zone. This is a start. Is there

Any dubious areas should be culled and allocated to H3, while retaining as H2 areas that are obviously high conservation value.

tolerance to reach this point. These challenging times call on us to expand, include and integrate so many new influences. Looking toward the youth may be a hopeful strategy as they have taken so much gracefully in their stride. I am totally in support of youth organising their own small parties that have responsible parents on board. Closing them down at 9.30pm as though they are criminals and sending them onto the streets is sending them messages that run against the grain of their culture and education. It is so important to encourage and inspire them to celebrate life in ways that nourish their spirits before they believe that the 18-year-old alcohol drinking ticket is the only way out of Big Ted. Please try and be a little more tolerant of music and laughter if it is keeping kids off the streets. We can set reasonable limits that recall our best memories of youth and still respect the community.

I cannot see how the new building in Burringbar Street enhances the heritage aspects of the National Bank building. Quite the opposite, I think. Maybe Woolies architects will take note and give us a Coliseum-style supermarket with mini chariots as shopping trolleys and gladiator security guards

Though I wouldn’t go as far as my learned contact in the Sydney branch of the NSW Heritage Council who, on viewing the DA plans, described the classical-columned bulk in our streetscape as ‘evil’, surely it can’t now be seriously being touted as a desirable precedent for future development of Mullumbimby’s CBD?

voluntary and forced redundancies, four more operational staff applied for redundancies, of which two of these applications were successful. You don’t have to be a genius to realise that there are serious problems within Water and Recycling because of this large number of resignations. People in an area like ours where employment is sparse do not resign from these positions without good reasons. It is a pity no one has asked why. Mr Faulkner may care to respond to questions as to why this large number of employees has resigned out of this one section of Council. I understand that Mr Faulkner recently called a meeting of the outdoor staff and told them that any staff member discussing Council business will be instantly dismissed. I understand that there are several issues that need to remain confidential but these issues are discussed at Executive Team meetings between Mr Faulkner and his directors. I cannot understand how the day-to-day runnings of a Council should be guarded so

closely with overt threats of dismissal to staff. How far is this attitude removed from the transparancy and openness we supposedly have in local government that our elected Councillors like to hang their hats on? Many questions have been asked from various community members as to where the money has gone. One of these questions should be why are we funding a director to travel from the Gold Coast daily to Mullumbimby in a Shire-supplied vehicle with a fuel card and this vehicle to be renewed every 60,000 kilometres? How many vehicles have been upgraded from the original vehicle supplied to management obtaining positions in BSC? How many new vehicles have been supplied to salaried officers whose positions did not previously require a vehicle? How many new positions have been created since Mr Faulkner took over as general manager? I am aware that Water and Recycling carried out their own restructure which has gone from one coordinator to six co-

Wildlife impact at Yelgun would have on the adjoining Billinudgel Nature Reserve, threatened fauna species, the regionally significant wildlife corridor and general fauna biodiversity. Until recently there has not been a lot of information available on the effects, and in particular long term effects, that festivals can have on native wildlife. We are no longer talking about a one-off ‘trial’ festival. The promoters are keen to utilise the area for year-round festivals and other events. This Review will provide valuable information to the relevant departments in line with the development application that North Byron Shire Parklands lodged with the NSW Department of Planning proposing to establish a permanent festival site at Yelgun. The environmental values of the Yelgun site have been reinforced by the findings of two Commissions of Inquiry and more recently a Land & Environment Court Judgment which ruled that a DA to host

a ‘trial’ Splendour in the Grass festival was prohibited in a 7K (Habitat) zone under the Byron LEP. The Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water (DECCW) has also identified the Jones Road wildlife corridor as part of a ‘critical’ climate change corridor in the draft Northern Rivers Regional Biodiversity Management Plan and draft Far North Coast Regional Conservation Plan. The Yelgun site is inappropriate and far too environmentally sensitive for this type of new wave development. We hope that common sense will prevail as we already have two festival sites in Byron Shire, one at Ewingsdale and one at Tyagarah. To establish a third one would undoubtedly be an overkill. With increasing pressure of development and diminishing habitat, nature reserves and wildlife corridors are absolutely vital for the ongoing survival of our unique Australian fauna.

ordinators during the time that Mr Faulkner was supposed to be carrying out his own restructure of the organisation. How does this not financially impact on the dividend from Water and Recycling? I am sure that the operations manager of Water and Recycling has weekly meetings with the holders of these new positions. Maybe Mr Faulkner or the operations manager would like to inform the community of the benefits/saving of this restructure.

to a public school but also, and of equal importance, the level of expectation for accountability expressed by governments (on behalf of taxpayers), politicians, the community and the media. While Jan Roskott tells us that ‘all recurrent funding ... has been spent on education’, which sounds reassuring, he has not mentioned other nonrecurrent funding in the form of specific federal government grants which have apparently been used in ways that require reporting to ASIC (Echo Editorial, May 4). I want to know if there are stringent mechanisms in place in the private school system as in the public system to ensure full accountability for how this public money is spent. I want to know, if those mechanisms do exist, how they could have failed to warn governments providing the money of the very poor management practices that were occurring. My questions also addressed the apparent lack of expectation for strict accountability from the private school sector, on the part of government departments, politicians, community and media, compared to that expected of the public school system, given the lack of concern or interest shown by those parties to date (with the exception of the Echo Editorial, May 4). Are we, as a society, allowing very different expectations and levels of accountability for how those taxpayer dollars are used in schools like Shearwater because they are ‘private’? If those in leadership positions, overseeing the mismanagement that created the current situation at Shearwater, can continue in those positions of responsibility then, again, I believe I have cause for con-

cern as they may be continuing to manage taxpayer dollars without, it seems, any effective mechanisms (or expectations) to ensure those funds are spent as intended. Finally, while Jan Roskott is free to describe my beliefs as ‘misguided’, I will not have the questions that I threw into the ‘public arena’ dismissed disparagingly as ‘unfounded’. Questioning is a corner stone of democracy, good government and, I think, Steiner educational philosophy. Questions simply deserve answers or they continue to be asked. Unfortunately, Jan Roskott’s letter has failed to answer most of mine.

Shearwater issues In response to Jan Roskott’s letter (Echo, May 11), I suggest he read my previous letters again. I did not claim in any letter that ‘Steiner schools waste taxpayers’ money’. While my questions were certainly about comparing ‘the goings-on at Shearwater with the way public schools are run’, the comparisons were never in terms of the amounts of money provided to private and public schools. In diverting discussion down that path, Jan Roskott has deflected my central concerns which were all about accountability. A taxpayer dollar is a taxpayer dollar whether it is spent in public or private schools. While the ‘partial’ government funding to Shearwater has been large (millions rather than the ‘hundreds of thousands’ of dollars I mistakenly referred to previously), it is not the amount of money that was my concern but the level of accountability for how those funds have been and continue to be used. My questions were not only about the level of accountability required from a private school such as Shearwater compared www.echo.net.au

Locally based environment group Conservation of North Ocean Shores (CONOS) has recently released a 50 page document outlining the likely impacts large festivals could have on wildlife habitat. The document titled ‘A Review of the Effects of Human Intrusion and Disturbance on Wildlife; Reference to a Proposed Permanent Events Site at Yelgun, NSW’ is authored by two well respected scientists Dr Andrew Benwell and David Scotts. Human intrusion and disturbance refer to the effects of activities such as movement and congregation of people, increased noise, artificial night lighting, pedestrian and vehicular traffic and other indirect impacts, which intrude on wildlife, but do not involve direct destruction of habitat. The Review provides a comprehensive analysis of ecological effects based on Australian and international research and highlights the likely impacts a permanent festival site

Farewell to Edyn Fawcett 1996-2010 Story & photo Eve Jeffery

Beautiful girl and much loved member of the Brunswick Heads community, Edyn Fawcett, recently succumbed to illness and passed away in Tweed Heads hospital. Edyn was diagnosed with a Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), an aggressive type of primary brain tumour, at the end of October 2008. Edyn had immediate surgery to remove as much of the tumour as possible, but Edyn’s mother Robyn knew from the very first diagnosis that she would have her daughter for less than two years. Edyn was born in Cairns on September 4, 1996, and was welcomed with a room full of flowers. Edyn was a bubbly, happy baby with big moon eyes and a beautiful personality and arrived already blessed with three adoring big sisters, Linda, Sally and Joanna, who took on their new role of ‘other mothers’, doting on her at every opportunity. Edyn was already amassing what was to become her legion of adoring fans. When Edyn was three, just after her best mate and brother Shannon was born, the Fawcetts moved to England. It was the family’s proximity to the local skate rink that prompted one of Edyn’s greatest passions. Ice skating became a focus of her energy and she enjoyed success as she did in all sports, even winning the UK Championship title in the under 9 division in 2003. Coach Tony Barron became family, with his patience at watching her grow ‘too tall’ for six years. An entire cohort of skaters, coaches and their associated family members mourn the loss of their friend. Edyn began her formal education at Loughton Manor First School in Milton Keynes. Here Edyn discovered her second passion: learning. In particular, Edyn loved the written word, which would lead her

to become close friends with her favourite author Deb Abela after a surprise Christmas gift of her signed books. Deb was a great inspiration for Edyn’s own writing. Edyn enjoyed travelling and was, as always, grateful to have visited many parts of the world, enriching her life. After leaving England and spending a few years living in Calgary, Canada – the snow and the huge library for her books made a perfect combination – Edyn, Robyn and Shannon moved to Byron Shire and her new ‘family’ became as adoring as the hundreds she had collected along the way. Her capacity for challenge, both physical and academic, was always difficult to satiate. Edyn had many doors open to her during her thirteen and a half years and she went through each one with grace and dignity, ever holding her head high and giving her best. Finishing primary school was

a dream run for Edyn, her two years with teacher and friend Barry Stenner the final seal. Ice skating turned to netball when the family moved to Brunswick Heads in 2007 and Edyn took to the court with as much gusto as she did everything else. She looked forward to playing with her mates and Saturday could not come around fast enough. At presentations, she was always the last in the line to receive a trophy, just in case there was not enough for everyone, constantly aware of the welfare of others. Leslie Kirk coached her to state level competition, but this was one dream never to be fulfilled, as it was at this time that the symptoms of the Glioblastoma began to show. After a short illness in 2008, Edyn was diagnosed with the brain tumour which could only be treated to gain time rather than be cured. Edyn believed she would be back on the court and running with her friends

again – even with this news the family never gave up. Gracious to the very end, Edyn was always more concerned about how you were coping with her being ill than she was with her own suffering. She was very aware of not putting anyone out and it seemed she had the mind of a much older, maturer woman. Even when she experienced the frustration of being thwarted by her own body – she lost the use of her left arm after the surgery – Edyn never once begrudged others the ability to fly. Her remarkable personality saw that she appreciated everything that came her way and she was always grateful. This was highlighted during her medical care in the Royal Children’s Hospital Brisbane and then Tweed Hospital, where she spent her final weeks being cared for with so much kindness and compassion. Edyn’s was a long goodbye. I am positive this was to make sure those who loved her had the chance to express it rather than to receive it herself. The last few months were terribly hard on her, physically and emotionally. The last six weeks Edyn braved without sight, the last two she was barely conscious. Robyn kept vigil with Edyn through April in Tweed Hospital, stealing every chance she could to snuggle and spend precious moments with her daughter during her final transition. On the evening of April 30, Edyn left the loving arms of her mother. The community bade farewell to Edyn at Mullumbimby Cemetery on Friday May 7 followed by a celebration and shared joyous remembrance of one who had enriched so many lives. There will be a walk for Edyn from Byron to Bruns in July to raise money for Camp Quality, a charity whose local staff were a great support to Edyn during her illness.

Ken Hickson spent 48 years as a communicator in journalism and public affairs in New Zealand and Singapore. He now lives in Brisbane with his wife M, where he set up a specialist climate change consulting business called ABC Carbon. In early 2008 Ken began a weekly e-newsletter, abc carbon express, and in 2009 published his mammoth project – an encyclopedic book called The ABC of Carbon. As author, editor, publisher and distributor, Ken worked on the book for two years. Chapters are ordered alphabetically from A to Z and start with an introduction called ‘Carbon and climate on a collision course’. A fascinating and informative 562 pages follow.

Climate change As the author notes at the beginning of the book, in any discussion of climate change there are different interpretations and findings as well as new information coming to hand all the time. Ken’s website www. abccarbon.com and the weekly e-newsletter serve as ongoing providers of updates, news and information on carbon and climate change. A longtime enthusiast for conservation and the environment, Ken acted as communications advisor and honorary representative for the World Wide Fund for Nature in Singapore and is a Governor of WWF Australia. Australia doesn’t even need to consider nuclear power as an alternative to fossil fuels, Ken maintains. ‘We should be exploring renewable technologies involving wave energy, gas, thermal, tidal, wind, water....’ There are, of course, entries about all of these options in The ABC of Carbon. On wave energy for instance, on page 413 ‘...1 million gigawatt hours of wave energy hits Australian shores annually... The World Energy Council (WEC) has estimated that double the world’s

current electricity production could be produced by wave power alone’. And on page 547 you can read about last year’s report by WWF-Australia and Carnegie Corporation, whose CETO wave energy demontration plant in Western Australia will create 3,210 jobs by 2020. Helping with this mammoth work was Ken’s son David Hickson and his partner Jerusha Munthree, who live in Ocean Shores. Both David and Jerusha read, checked and referenced the content of the book. David is an artist whose work has been shown in many galleries throughout NSW. He was one of the Salon de Refusés finalists, has won the Julian Beaumont Sculpture prize, was joint winner of the Robin Gibson Gallery Exhibition Award in 2002 and last year was winner of the Waywood Gallery’s ‘Wish you were Here’ Art Prize. His work has been published in the Sydney Morning Herald, The Australian, Vogue Apartments special issue ‘For Art’s Sake’ – and, in June 2009, The Echo!

Artistic family In his father’s ABC of Carbon, David’s gouache on paper painting ‘Annandale Wheeliebin’ appears on page 264, at the start of chapter P (People power for peace, plants, paper and the planet). Ken’s wife M is an artist who specialises in Chinese brush painting – her work faces page 27, the start of chapter B (Book your business on bamboo, biofuels, Bucky balls and banning bushfires). The ABC of Carbon is a necessary book, used in many government departments including the Office of Climate Change in Queensland and has the support of the Australian Conservation Foundation, and is available at most bookshops including Mary Ryan, Book City, Mullum Bookshop, University Bookshop Lismore or as an ebook from Amazon Kindle.

After deciding that it was time for a return of youth theatre to Mullumbimby, theatrical director and president of the Drill Hall Committee Michael Borenstein went in search of a play that was relevant to a young cast and a young audience and Chatroom, by Irish playwright Enda Walsh, fitted the bill. ‘The play investigates online communities and social networking,’ says Michael. ‘Although it deals with issues of bullying, depression, suicide and identity, it doesn’t feel like an “issues play”. As well as resonating with young people, the play gives adults a look into their domain of online communication.’ The cast of Chatroom has been rehearsing for about six weeks at the theatre and they are getting into the last few technical stages before the run-up to opening night. The players Henry Gooley, Akasha Ahrens, Savannah Mitch-

ell, Marnie Johnston, Fletcher Gooley and Reubin Haig range from 15 to 19 years in age. The Drill Hall Theatre Company has a group of directors who are currently working on the 2010 season under the stewardship of our artistic director Mike Russo. They are currently running free acting workshops every Thursday evening and will be shortly running a workshop on lighting, sound and stage management. ‘We want to provide an opportunity for young people to use and develop their acting skills and to attract a young audience to the magic of live

Geshe returns to Byron Byron Bay’s first Tibetan Buddhist monk, Geshe Ngawang Gedun, is back in town to teach but took a break this week and kicked back to watch the 20/20 cricket. The Byron Bay loungeroom, complete with large television screening the cricket from the Caribbean, is worlds away from the monk’s origins. Born in Domo, Tibet, Geshe-la, while just an infant, escaped across the Himalayas in the late 1950s with his family. After studying at Sera Mey Monastery in Southern India from an early age he received ordination from the 14th Dalai Lama. The next 18 years were spent studying Buddhism. But as karma would have it, Geshe-la was introduced to Byron Bay in the early 1990s by a backpacker, Paul Coventry, the owner of Abraxas Book Shop. ‘Paul was so touched by Geshela’s sincerity that he sponsored Geshe-la to come to Australia,’ added Eva Schaefer, a long time student of Geshe-la’s and fellow cricket fanatic. By 1996 Geshe-la was living in Mullumbimby and teaching Buddhism in Byron Bay. The word soon spread and he was soon in demand in Murwillumbah, Uki, Lismore, the Gold Coast and Brisbane. ‘These days I spend my time between Australia and the USA where I also teach, but I consider Australia my home

and I make sure the Americans know I’m an Aussie,’ Geshe-la said, keeping one eye on the cricket score. Geshe-la is helping organise a film night for locals with all profits to go to his fellow monks at Yerpa House, Sera May Monastery, India. For over six years residents from as far away as Casino and the Gold Coast have supported the monks through the film nights held at the Regent Cinema, Murwillumbah. The film screening this time, Unmistaken Child, follows the 2001 passing of Master Lama Konchog. His shy and devoted disciple of 21 years, Tenzin Zopa, was unexpectedly appointed by the Dalai Lama to search for the late master’s reincarnation. It shows at Regent Cinema, Murwillumbah, on Thursday May 27. Film starts 6.45pm, cinema opens 5.30pm for vegetarian food and drinks. Bookings essential – phone Madeleine 6677 9207.

Job Scout Week is an annual event during which cubs and scouts perform services for their local community. It used to be called Bob A Job – a name with a definite ring to it – although as Byron Cub Leader Bryony Pearson pointed out to The Echo, there aren’t many people around these days who would know what a bob is! In the past, cubs and scouts went from door to door attending to various chores like mow-

ing lawns and washing dishes. These infinitely more suspicious days parents are unwilling to send their children out into the streets unsupervised. The solution is for the entire Byron Bay Cub Pack, including leaders, to set off en masse and sweep and scrub footpaths for local businesses. In return they will ask for a small donation which will enable them to upgrade their camping equipment. Bryony, a one-time Brownie who ‘would rather have been a cub – I didn’t really like our brownie leader much!’, became involved when her son joined Cubs and they were short of leaders.

‘They were considering closing the whole section down – it was teetering’, she said, ‘and I thought, I can do this!’ She finds the work immensely satisfying. ‘It’s such a good thing for kids, especially those kids who aren’t sporty. We do so many things – cooking, camping, international culture... It’s not just about games either, it’s also about getting on with people. It suits so many kids.’ There are, Bryony said, waiting lists for people wanting to join Cubs in Byron Bay. ‘We’ve got a full pack – that’s 24 – and we’ve still got a waiting list. Byron’s busy!’ The annual job week is actu-

ally longer than a week, running through till the end of May. ‘This year we’re taking the cubs out to sweep footpaths and clean windows for local businesses so they get a chance to see what it’s all about. People love seeing them being constructive and having fun at the same time. They’ll be marched out onto Jonson Street. If it pours with rain I’ve just told everyone to bring an umbrella and a raincoat!’ Tuesday May 25 is the day chosen. Scout Job Week has been running for over 55 years and is a great opportunity for scouts and members of the community to interact with and support each other.

Our plucky local farmers rise to the challenge What bright spark arranged for the town end of Main Arm Road to be resurfaced on Friday May 14? Surely it would have been possible to carry out the resurfacing work on a day other than when the Farmers Market was taking place. A quick trip to the market turned out to be a marathon for many when we became part of a huge queue of cars trying to return to town from the Showgrounds. Although the majority of motorists were very patient I expect they were thinking the

Q

same as I was: why do this when the market is on? The volume of traffic far and away exceeded that of other days and this was surely easy to predict. It had all the ingredients of a Woolworths conspiracy about it, but I imagine it was a Council department behind the fiasco rather than Woolworths. One aspect of the mayhem that should give everyone heart however is the extent of the traffic chaos on that day was convincing evidence of the great success of the Mullum

They have risen to the challenge and come up with a brilliant display of edible delights and creative local food products – every week – in the lovely traditional agricultural centrepiece of Mullumbimby, the Showgrounds. Resurging is the centuries old tradition of farmers selling direct to consumers; paddock to plate freshness simply cannot be faked. Take-home meals made from the market produce

are another feature of this particular market. Besides being a social hub with music, cafés and cane juice, the market provides an opportunity for incubating small business as well as inspiration to grow and sell our own produce – and you can even buy the seedlings ready to go! So, Robert, let’s look on the bright side, every dollar we spend at a Mullumbimby small business builds up our local economy and helps us to thrive.

Meeting ET Astrophysicist Stephen Hawking claims in a new documentary that intelligent alien life forms almost certainly exist, but warns that communicating with them could be ‘too risky’. Hawking says that a visit by extraterrestrials to Earth might well be like Christopher Columbus arriving in the Americas, ‘which didn’t turn out very well for the Native Americans’. If anybody had any reason to think that an encounter between extraterrestrials and humans could be ‘too risky’, then it is the extraterrestrials. They probably know that our global annual military spending tops $1.2 trillion, while over 24,000 children die every day around the world, one child every 3.6 seconds, from hunger and easily preventable diseases. If there is one thing mankind may be justified in fearing from an encounter with extraterrestrials, then it is nothing more, and nothing less than universal embarrassment. Tom Koo

Chrysalis opens to healing for girls SUFFOLK PARK ONLY

MARKET DAY “EXTRA SPECIAL� SPECIALS

EVERY WEDNESDAY Serving Byron Bay and surrounding districts

Around 50 young women attended the Self Empowerment Conference at Mullum. About 20 girls from Byron High and a few Nimbin High students, facilitated the day. Many of the existing Chrysalis Girls had volunteered their time over weekends to generate donations for the conference. Over $1,000 worth of beautiful food and gifts were given to the Mullum High girls as a gesture of community support. Amie says the day was very successful and created future opportunities for the girls. ‘During the conference workshop, I saw young women begin to develop an awareness that they are not alone, that emotional pain and trauma happens to us all on various levels,’ says Amie. ‘They had the opportunity to see other young women who have experienced similar levels of ad-

versity in their lives and have transformed this into wisdom, compassion and hope.’ From this initial conference, Amie will be running a weekly group counselling workshop at the school which will address pertinent issues with contemporary counselling techniques, in conjunction with holistic therapies such as art and drama therapy, meditation, yoga and martial arts. The girls had nothing but praise for the event and were excited to be involved in future workshops. Fourteen year old Ashley, who attended the conference, said she is grateful to be involved in the group. ‘It allows me to be myself,’ she said after the workshop. ‘We got to discuss and try and resolve issues, it’s a place where everyone is welcome and super friendly to one another. It’s awesome.’

Problem gamblers and families urged to seek help Partners, family and friends of problem gamblers are being urged to seek information and assistance from the NSW government’s Gambling Help services as part of Responsible Gambling Awareness Week (RGAW) activities May 17-22. ‘The Australian Productivity Commission found that for every problem gambler, there are five to ten others who are significantly affected,’ said counsellor Jiri Dusta. ‘Those who have a close relationship with problem gamblers are often the first to realise something is wrong. Because of that they have a vital role to play in ensuring that those gamblers get the help they need before the situation becomes critical. ‘Recent research has shown that loved ones tend to underestimate the extent of the www.echo.net.au

problem, as the gambler will frequently keep their full losses secret.’ The Northern Rivers Gambling Counselling Service is holding an information groups for the partners, family and friends of problem gamblers at at Lismore, Friday May 21, 10am-12pm and 6pm-8pm, upstairs in the Uniting Church Hall, Keen Street. Jiri Dusta said that as well as providing information about how to assist problem gamblers, Gambling Help services could also provide much-needed support and practical advice for loved ones who were suffering from emotional, financial and relationship problems as a result of someone else’s gambling. ‘This Responsible Gambling Awareness Week we have two important messages for the

The Chrysalis Girls Program is a prevention-based youth development project, formulated by young women for young women. Chrysalis was conceived by adolescents aged 13-18 who had been identified as teenagers at risk, then developed by youth and holistic counsellor Amie Dreyer and Jane McGowan, who is a North Coast Area Health Sexual Assault Counsellor. ‘These young women came from a diverse range of disadvantaged backgrounds,’ says Amie. ‘They had often been placed in the too hard basket.’ Nominated for a 2010 Kids in Community Award, the program began over three years ago when a group of young women came together through a voluntary group counselling project at Byron

Bay High School. The girls had all experienced high levels of trauma in their lives such as homelessness, sexual abuse, grief, substance addiction, had attempted suicide or self harm, or were violent perpetrators to name a few. Through the process of healing themselves they became aware that they could help others from similar backgrounds. The launch of Chrysalis from one school to another is an integral component of the program and recently a group of Byron Bay High School girls visited Mullum High to deliver a four hour group workshop. Through the use of group counselling, drama and art therapy, the girls shared personal stories from their lives and explored confronting issues such as cycles of abuse, bullying, grief, anger, self esteem and other relevant issues.

Wilsons Creek school gets stuck into bush tucker ‘Let’s stand together as a community, looking after country like the traditional custodians of this land have done for thousands of years,’ said Simon Cook, Wilsons Creek Public School principal, when he addressed the community at a Reconnecting to Country bush tucker planting day at the school. Students, parents and teachers worked alongside the Madhima Gulgan (meaning ‘trailblazers’) Aboriginal bush regeneration team to create a bush tucker garden at the school. Everyone enjoyed a bit of bush tucker at lunchtime: a barbeque funded by the Northern Rivers Catchment Management Authority, natural cordial provided by Alchemy Cordial, damper with Rosella jam and Lemon Myrtle cake from Gunnawannabee Cafe. The school’s new outdoor classroom was used for the first time. Madhima Gulgan talked about the importance of caring for country and life as bush regenerators and the children were presented with

Reconnecting to Country bags, posters and stickers from Rous Water. This event was the first ‘onthe-ground’ result of the hard work of the Wilsons Creek Reconnecting to Country Working Group. This group of local residents from Wilsons Creek and Huonbrook includes staff of the school, members of the Wilsons Creek Huonbrook Landcare Group and Aboriginal elders. They have been working for the past 18 months to develop a project that integrates catchment management, local Aboriginal culture and builds a sense of place. The project at Wilsons Creek has received $45,000 in funding from the NSW Environmental Trust for bush regeneration, signage, pamphlets, open days and cross cultural liaison – part of which is being used to employ Madhima Gulgan. ‘It’s satisfying,’ says Gavin Heidenriech, public officer for Madhima Gulgan. ‘It’s good to work outside. Good to learn about land and culture.’

‘It’s great the kids can be part of a project that is happening in the valley. They’re working alongside members of the community and learning how what we do here affects everything else in the catchment,’ says Mark Donovan, teacher at the school. Nine year old student, Jedha, enjoyed planting with the Madhima Gulgun team and listening to them talk about what they are doing on the creek. Jedha knows a bit about bush tucker too – ‘It’s a plant, you can eat it and use the leaves.’ There are more events planned for the Reconnecting to Country project at Wilsons Creek later in the year.

<echowebsection=Articles>

After 30 years of Di Wilson cooking her delicious Brinjal Pickle for Christmas presents, the original recipe, until now a closely guarded family secret, had undergone refinement over the years and was the original inspiration for the PickleChicks to start their business. Mandy suggested to Di that the pickle was more than good enough to release commercially. At this suggestion Di was very suspicious, as Mandy had wanted the recipe for a long time. The trust from a friendship of 20 years won out, however, and the PickleChicks were hatched. A high level of community involvement and a shared passion for cooking (and eating) led to the idea that perhaps it was time to see if they could use talents and skills honed over years in a wider arena. Both Pickle Chicks have lived in the hills behind Byron Bay for the duration of this friendship, where families have been born, raised and schooled

locally and where now the Pickles are prepared, cooked and bottled. Brinjal Pickle is a traditional Indian pickle whose use far exceeds that of only an accompaniment to curries. It contains eggplant (brinjal), a tantalising array of spices, fresh garlic and ginger and more. As far as possible, ingredients for all the products are sourced locally. Given the variance in the heat tolerance of our individual palates, PickleChicks make pickles and chutneys in a milder and also a more sparky version. The PickleChicks pickles received a boost last week with the news that they had earned a Merit Award at this year’s Sydney Royal Easter Show. PickleChicks pickles are available now at various outlets through Byron and surrounding Shires, also every week at the Mullumbimby Farmer’s Market. Other varieties besides the Brinjal include Tamatar Kasaundi, Lime Chutney and Kenyan Mango Chutney. www.echo.net.au

New group aims to head off aerial spraying of Bitou Hilary Bain

Committed volunteers are needed to keep authorities from aerial spraying pesticides to eradicate the Bitou bush on our coastline. I’m a filmmaker, and concerned about the amount of pesticide being put out there in the environment, along the coastline, in the name of controlling the Bitou ‘weed’. My partner Asa and myself got involved with this struggle when we went to the South Golden Bitou Blitz last May to film Rose and all those who were there trying to help by showing that, with enough volunteers, this Bitou problem could be eradicated by hand weeding. I believe it was from this event and subsequent publicity, plus a demonstration in Byron Bay, with more publicity, along with Rose’s advertisements in The Echo, that the Byron Council put a ‘stay’ on spraying. Unfortunately, the council only has jurisdiction over the South Golden area. The rest of the coastline is under the control of the Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water, a state body. Since that time, we have gone to Council, to get some land allocated to us so we could form a Dunecare Group, and start to hand weed the Bitou, as well as other weeds, and so restore some of the land along the coast. The coastline along Byron Shire, as well as the rest of Eastern Australia, has had sig-

nificant destabilisation due to sand mining. As a solution to that, Bitou bush was planted extensively to try to stabilise the dunes. And now, Bitou has become a ‘weed of national significance’ (WONS), high on the priority list for eradication. Using aerial spraying of glyphosate is the method of dealing with Bitou, along with the ‘cut and paste’ method used on-ground. This is where we, the newly formed Byron Shire Chemical-free Landcare Group come in. We’ve been allocated two prominent sites: the Cavanbah next to Byron Bay’s Main Beach and Brunswick Heads

south of the Surf Club. The Brunswick Heads site is about four hectares, the Cavanbah site is about 0.5 hectares, and they both have very different weeds. We applied for and are receiving a grant from the Northern Rivers Catchment Management Authority (NRCMA) to pay a professional regen worker to coordinate volunteers, and to set up a website to inform the public about our projects, as well as educate the public about glyphosate, and to buy some loppers and gloves. What we need now are some committed volunteers, to go out to both sites with the re-

gen coordinator and start the actual work of weeding. Ellen White has generously offered a workshop to demonstrate her method of ‘crowning’ the Bitou to stop its spread and use the Bitou as a mulch to enable the natural plants to germinate, and so restore the natural dune flora and fauna. We have a wonderful opportunity with these two sites, to show how easy, cheaper and better it is to work without chemicals, and to create areas that will make it obvious that this is the better method. The website will inform the public, locally as well as nationally, and aims to get as many

Reserves to close for aerial spraying, says NPWS Bitou Bush infestations in Brunswick Heads and Billinudgel nature reserves and Bundjalung National Park will be targeted this May and June. National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) Pest Management Officer, Lisa Wellman, said that this is the second year Brunswick and Billinudgel nature reserves have been targeted with aerial spraying and the seventh year for Bundjalung National Park. For public safety temporary closures of areas to be sprayed will occur between May 17 and June 30. Bundjalung National Park is expected to be sprayed May 31June 4, and Brunswick Heads

(north) and Billinudgel nature reserves June 10-18. ‘These closure dates are only indicative as operations are very weather dependent. Spraying may occur on any day until June 30,’ Ms Wellman said. ‘Brunswick Heads (north of the river) and Billinudgel nature reserves will be closed at the commencement of each scheduled spray day until the work is completed. The reserves will be re-opened daily if conditions are not suitable for spraying. ‘In Bundjalung National Park the temporary closures will affect Ten Mile Beach from Goanna (Snapper) Headland to Shark Bay and Woody Head

to Iluka. This will include access to Ten Mile Beach at Black Rocks and Shark Bay. Woody Head and Black Rocks camping area and Iluka Bluff are not within the treatment area and will remain open. Beach access at Black Rocks will be restricted while spraying is in progress. ‘Aerial spraying enables us to control Bitou Bush over a broad area, which would otherwise be extremely difficult. ‘Two years of concentrated control at Cape Byron and Broken Head have seen expanses of Bitou Bush turn into healthy regenerating headlands. The control has been so successful in these reserves that aerial

spraying is not required this year. ‘The 2009 aerial spray in northern Brunswick Heads and Billinudgel nature reserves was also highly effective, with 90 per cent of Bitou Bush killed and no negative impacts on native species. Monitoring of the site has found that native plants have increased in size, number and variety on the foredune. A follow-up spray is crucial to enable native plants to continue reclaiming the sand dunes from the monoculture of Bitou Bush. ‘Bitou Bush is one of the greatest threats to biodiversity on the NSW North Coast and one of 20 Weeds of National Significance.’

people as possible to support our group. We plan to invite the other Dunecare groups to the workshop to show them how successful this manual, chemical-free method is. We aim to set this program up as a pilot project that can then be expanded to the entire shire, and be an example to the rest of the nation. Cr Richard Staples, a longtime Greens party member, who has been waiting for a long time to see something like this happen, is onboard as a consultant and regen worker/volunteer. We’ve been very lucky and privileged to have Ellen White, who is a botanist and exceptional dunecare worker, as a consultant. She has restored almost 40 hectares of the Dirawong Reserve in Evans Head. It is well worth a trip down there to experience what a restored coastal dune looks and feels like. It’s gorgeous! With some dedicated work on our sites, Byron Shire too can have a gorgeous chemical free coastline. We are now finally going to start weeding the Bitou by hand using the ‘crowning method’, at the Brunswick Heads site (next to the surf club) on Sunday May 23. Ellen White will be on hand to give a demonstration on this method of weeding the bitou at around 10am. We will

then start weeding the bitou, with the assistance of two experienced regen workers. This site is ‘clean’, that is, it has never been sprayed with chemicals, so people who have those kinds of concerns needn’t worry. An ‘organic’ BBQ will be provided. We do advise that you bring with you sun protection gear, good boots, gloves, water to drink, and if you have a good pair of loppers and/or secateurs, bring those along. We will have some on hand, but may not have enough. If you can come to this very important day for the Byron Shire coastline, please contact me ASAP on 6684 0508 or email hb@hilarybain.com, so that I can see how many people will be attending, and plan for that. We’ll meet outside the surf club at 9:30am. We’re hoping to bring out some of the Councilors, the press and even the mayor for this event/workday.

Electric cars still a way down the road SHRED POTOMAC All Cars Electric (www.allcarselectric. com) is one website which brings together information and updates on the high- and medium-end electric vehicle movement at a global level. At a grassroots level, the Australian Electric Vehicle Association (www.aeva.asn.au) caters for the DIY fan or for those who want someone else to convert a car for them. The major players are serious about electric vehicles (EV), and the marques include Volkswagen, Mitsubishi, Renault, Mercedes and Porsche. The Mitsubishi i MIEV (www. mitsubishi-motors.com.au) – they had to stick an ‘i’ in there, didn’t they? – seems to be the ďŹ rst kid off the block in Australia, with an associated trial this year of electric charging outlets in Canberra. However, there is still a way to go down the road before the general punter is going to fork out for an EV. Price is one problem. The predicted retail price of the i MIEV, for example, has veered from $30K up to $70K, with no-one conďŹ rming a deďŹ nite ďŹ gure. (If you’re willing to devote the time to

follow-through, you could have a Toyota Echo converted for about $15,000.) The other problem is range, with top runs put at about 150 kilometres. Great for a city runabout but a stretch for a long cruise unless you have mates with power points along the route. As All Cars Electric staff writer Nikki Gordon-BloomďŹ eld points out, ’Manufacturers’ range-per-charge claims are as tough to tie down as fuel economy ďŹ gures. They’re often obtained under laboratory test conditions, with optimal weather and road conditions, using trained test drivers.

‘The tests don’t take into consideration the morning school run – under-inated tyres, a full car and heavy wind aren’t factored into the equation.’ Gordon-BloomďŹ eld also considers the temperament of batteries: ‘Batteries, just like humans, like to be warm. Cold batteries are physically unable to perform as well. ‘Temperature range issues can be partly alleviated by better battery systems. But the way we drive can be changed by us. Learn to drive smoothly, accelerating evenly and anticipating when to slow down, and your range will increase overnight –as any EV owner will testify.’

Rous Water The Rous Water Blue & Green Business Program provides funding to businesses and other non-residential water customers that reduce their consumption of town water or find ways to use water more efficiently.

Eligible projects can be as simple as replacing old toilets with new dual flush models or more complicated such as water recycling schemes. Examples of successful projects completed by participants so far include these as well as replacing showers with 3-star WELS rated shower heads, installing rainwater tanks to supply water to amenities buildings and for swimming pool topup, installing pressure reduction valves on water pipelines, reusing treated effluent and installing restrictors and water efficient tapware. Customers using significant amounts of water, in particular those using more than 500 kilolitres per year are invited to participate. Rous Water is offering these businesses a free water audit to investigate the potential benefits of installing water-efficient fixtures and fittings as well as recycling opportunities. Harvesting and using rainwater in preference to town water for cleaning, watering gardens and similar activities is also a high priority.

Since July last year, many businesses and schools have participated in the funding program.

How did you find your way to percussion/drumming? My dad is a percussionist and he had percussion around the house.

I notice you developed a children’s percussion line, why did you do that? To be a good percussionist is it imperative to start young? Yes it is important to start young – learning a language or the arts like music. The impact of learning that young allows kids to learn music quicker.

Traditionally, great looking women always play up front‌ has it been difficult having to define yourself all the time as a ‘regular’ musican? I am not a regular musician. I am an entertainer who has been given a gift of music from God and I am blessed to be able to share that gift all over the world. Playing with Prince must have been a buzz. What did that do for your career? That opened the door for commercial music as a solo artist. What drew you to jazz, funk etc? I grew up listening to jazz and Latin jazz influenced from my dad Pete Escovedo. During the period in the 70s Motown music was huge. What happens when you are playing – do you stop thinking, do you think ahead‌ I don’t think, I play from my heart. What's the essence of a great performance for you? God's love.

What has happened to the humble light bulb? The innocuous incandescent has been earmarked as a contributor to greenhouse gases, and has been exterminated. You can’t find a 80 cent bulb anywhere anymore. From a visual perspective, the old fashioned lightbulb was a far superior design to these new eco friendly compact fluorescents. They look a bit like an electric colon. They’re ugly. It just doesn’t rival the classic lightbulb. Andy Warhol would turn in his pop art grave. That fragile glass bubble filled with argon gas created light by employing just a wafer thin wire of tungsten to channel the magic. Sure it required 75 per cent more energy to power the same amount of light, but those old school bulbs were dirt cheap to buy. Now the only light bulb available is $10 for a two pack. It’s a very effective way of curbing energy use. Every time I go to the supermarket I think do I really need a light in the toilet? At my house it’s now: do it in the daylight, take a candle or buy the braille toilet paper. How do people on Centrelink benefits afford light bulbs anymore? They’re so expensive, it must have little old ladies having to choose between eating and seeing. Fortunately most older people go to bed by 5pm so living without light is not such a problem. I’ve been trying to cut back spending for the last six months so in our household living in the light has become a privilege rather than a right. At my house, people only get light bulbs on their birthday. You’ve never seen true joy

8"55 5)& until you’ve watched your teenager unwrap an eco friendly bulb. More useful than an iPod. It’s not just the expense, or how unattractive they are shape wise, it’s the two choices you get: ‘can’t see at all’ and ‘can see too much’. Sure they use less energy, but that’s because they create inferior light. You certainly lose the ambience around the house when your place is lit like a Woolies deli. You’d want to be in a long term relationship, because there ain’t no romance in the deathly blue glare of a CFL. It would be like having sex

in the meat department. If you’ve never had depression issues in the past you’ll be pleased to know that ten minutes in a room lit by a CFL is all it takes to want to top yourself. You’ll be a poet in no time. I think Sylvia Plath must have had fluoros – that’s why she sought solace in the soft blue flame of the oven. There’s just no ambience in a fluoro. I’m aware that the consumer is supposed to see a marked reduction in their energy use and thus have a lowered electricity bill. I’ve been using the eco-bulbs for over a year and my bills haven’t varied a bit. (Although that could be because we’ve been using the on-light on Zoe’s hair iron to illuminate the hallway). Wow, does that mean if Shearwater had used low wattage bulbs, they wouldn’t be ten million bucks in debt? People may have noticed a small drop in their bills, so isn’t it fortuitous that Country Energy have been permitted to hike their fees! It would be undemocratic to see a saving passed on to the consumer when it can go back to big business. As of July 1, electricity bills will go up by 30 per cent. These low wattage bulbs are a crock. Sure they don’t use as much energy, but they’re full of mercury – doesn’t that end up in landfill later down the track? Aren’t we just doing the environmental equivalent of borrowing from Pavitar to pay Premal? (That’s the Byron Shire version of Peter to pay Paul). I’m jack of the whole thing. Forget electricity, I say go the candle. The lights aren’t on baby, but that doesn’t mean that nobody’s home.

cLIVE MUS ICd Dolphin Release The 2010 Dolphin Awards are back and bigger than ever. The local music industry has been lively in the past year and the Dolphins are a showcase of what the Northern Rivers has to offer. This year the Dolphins’ offer a new category: ‘garage/indie’ to recognise the alternative bands in the area. The new and improved NCEIA website (www.nceia.org.au) has all the details of each category that musicians can enter and the outlines of each category/ genre. Entries for the awards are now open and are closing May 31.

The Kellly Gang Dan Kelly is back and he’s rolling out a new ocean groove sourced somewhere between Williamsburg, Ibiza and the Tote Hotel. Bindi Irwin Apocalypse Jam, is the first single from the forthcoming album Dan Kelly’s Dream. It’s a good time apocalyptic fantasy fuelled by wave power and the futuristic undersea chops of environmental superhero Bindi herself plus chaperone and mother Terri and uber backing musicians Jimi Hendrix and Ringo Starr! While flaming tornadoes ravage the last traces of civilization on the earths’ surface, Dan and his ultimo band (Dave Williams, Indra Adams, Kiernan Box, Dallas Packard and featuring blazing underwater guitar solo from Alpha Male Lewis Boyes) conduct the word’s last recording session deep in the Marianas trench.

Dirt Music Mullum Folk Club is happy to introduce Dirt Rd as feature act this month. Dirt Rd was born over a birthday cake in a lounge room when six friends realised they all had a different instrument in their hands and

were having a lot of fun. Since then the band has evolved to tell their tales through the songs of Ivan Fletcher. Ivan’s writing style is influenced by the likes of Johnny Cash, David Gray and Jack Johnson. An old fashioned romantic at heart his songs are of life, love and real people with a genuine warmth and sincerity woven through them. As a six piece band Dirt Rd’s musical influences are far and varied but together they have created their own style

The show features works by 12 internationally accomplished artists including renowned US artist Robert Mars, whose multi-media works reflect a longing for a different America – before ‘the independent aesthetic of the not-so-distant past was replaced by homogenized corporate culture and standardised cityscapes’. Other artists include Germany’s Mario Wagner, Dutch artist Hanneke Treffers (Handiedan), Australian Nick Morris (acclaimed for his solo works, as well as his collaborative pieces with artist Dave Bowers, under the pseudonym of Doug Bartlett), alongside representatives from France, Belgium, America and the UK.

WEDNESDAY 19

1. Christian Bale is one of the better Batmen, as he shows in Batman Begins (NBN, Friday. 9.40pm), adding a film noir frisson to the caped crusader’s efforts, only outdarkened by Ledger’s Joker in The Dark Knight. 2. Abigail Breslin is her usual beguiling self in Nim’s Island (Prime, Saturday, 6.30pm), a pleasant adventure for children but not one of the best. Contains traces of CGI. 3. Antonio Banderas is the ballroom dance teacher in Take The Lead (GO!, Sunday, 8.30pm), a sort of To Sir With Love without Sidney Poitier and Lulu’s theme song. In search of weird comedy? Psychoville on ABC1 on Fridays at 9.30pm.

I mean, ‘they called the greatest archers to a tavern on the green ‌’ doesn’t get a look in and, what is truly beyond the pale, director Ridley Scott

www.dendy.com.au

A film called Reds (1981) suggested that the Russian Revolution – Lenin and Trotsky, Bolsheviks and Mensheviks et al – only happened because of the presence in Moscow of an American journo (Warren Beatty). Now we learn that Robin Hood saved the Plantagenet crown from the

snubs his nose at the Little John v Robin encounter on the log crossing the stream, instead having them come to grips over a dopy pea-and-thimble game. And then there is the problem of Maid Marian. She could hardly be ignored, but the casting of Cate Blanchett is a worry – or, as the old folk song goes â€˜â€Ś but a maid again I will never be, until apples grow on an ivy tree’. As lovers, Lord Rusty of Redfern and Saint Catherine of Hunters Hill don’t exactly set the world on fire, their romance producing a series of superfluous speed-bump moments and culminating in a scene of embarrassing PC indulgence when helmeted Marian takes to the invading Froggies with a broadsword. Puh-leeze! The basic dilemma, though, arises with the depiction of Robin as a player on the international stage instead of a local hero. In drawing this long bow, Scott forfeits the single-mindedness of his finest achievements; Gladiator (2000) was all about Maximus and in Thelma And

Louise (1991) it was only the girls who concerned us. There is clichĂŠ in characterizations too, with Oscar Isaac’s King John replicating Joaquin Phoenix’s Commodus, Mark Strong as the treacherous Godfrey doing his sexy bald villain schtick for the umpteenth time, and Crowe himself frequently looking less than enthusiastic. The merry men are included – Alan a’Dale, Will Scarlett and Friar Tuck – but the relegation of the Sheriff of Nottingham to non-entity is grievously disappointing. As an entertainment, this is a terrifically high-camp boys’ own romp, with convincing sets and costumes and mighty battle scenes, but it is hamstrung by callow political comment and trite dialogue (did Max von Sydow really say ‘cometh the hour, cometh the man’?). Robin’s last shot is an absolute corker, but the movie fails to inspire because it lacks emotional impact. It’s good, but not in the same league as Gladiator or Thelma and Louise. ~ John Campbell

Micmacs is directed by French director Jean-Pierre Jeunet, famous for his film Amelie and A Very Long Engagement. Like his other films, this has his usual whimsy and eccentricity, but he is also clearly fascinated by fate, or destiny as he demonstrated in the highly popular Amelie. Micmacs combines many of the elements of his earlier work: an unusually dense and wildly imaginative visual approach, a collection of quirky characters

takes on some corrupt arms dealers who are satisfyingly dealt with. Jeunet’s films are always a joy for the film buff. His work, on one level, may be simplistic as he creates a world where good triumphs over evil, but it’s an engaging and beautifully realised fairytale that he tells. ~ Lounge Cinema

VIRGO: The current astral climate suggests helpful advice is best kept to yourself, so if you’d rather not have your head bitten off don’t cast those pearls of Virgo wisdom before this week’s philistines. Take a break from rescuing others and give yourself some serious nurturing.

SAGITTARIUS: You want rewarding and enjoyable work that feeds your passion, so decide this week what it is that currently excites you – then how to organize the natural skills and abilities you most love using in a way that supports your doing more of it.

Despite the odd squabble and glitch, fixable by applying kindness and common sense, this week’s receptive to and extremely appreciative of your practical talents. AQUARIUS: Any job, relationship, circumstance or habit pattern you’re unhappy with causes toxic resentment, so either give your attitude to whatever’s unsatisfactory in your life a radical makeover this week, or else change the situation. Doesn’t apply to you? Take a closer look, Waterpourers… PISCES: Mightn’t be what you want, but this week offers what you need. Yeah right, I need this? you’re thinking. You do, and being grateful even in adverse circumstances is so admirable it can’t help but press the cosmic Abundance Button. Don’t believe me? Try it and see.

SNIPPETS LUCKY BEANS Those not necessarily loyal to a particular cafe and who tend to drink their coffees as takeaways could do worse than frequent Café Fresh in Byron Bay until about mid-June. Leading coffee brand Campos Coffee has planted five Lucky Bean stickers on the bottom of branded takeaway cups throughout Australia – and at their Byron Bay outlet Fresh. The lucky ‘winners’ will receive a year’s supply of Campos coffee absolutely free. Campos exploded on to the global map in 2008 when a New York Times journalist praised its capacity to ‘kick the jet lag’, saying that it was ‘worth the 22-hour flight from New York’ – attested by the queues commonly found for seats at Campos’ Brisbane roastery. Café Fresh is behind the Byron Beach Hotel.

Mooball could not, after all, be more apt headquarters for a couple of cheese-makers. Ponderous gentle-faced cows shuffle and snuffle beyond the wall which shields the back-of-factory space where I sit with Deb Allard and Sue Harnett, ‘the cheese ladies’ as their business card proclaims, over morning tea. Farmers Market aficionados would be familiar with these two girls by now; it’s been about three years since they began tentatively holding cheese parties amongst friends and family to try out the fruits of their experimentations. Now they can be found at Byron, New Brighton, Brunswick and the new Mullumbimby Farmers Markets and soon, when they are up and running, the Murwillumbah one as well. It was a program about cheese-making on ‘Landline’ that started it all. Sue’s husband Rob is a fourthgeneration dairy farmer – as Deb’s father had been; both the girls’ husbands ‘used to kick around together’ so it was perhaps inevitable that they would become friends. Despite both having young families, they decided to do a cheese-making course up at Witches Chase on Mount Tamborine. ‘We came back after two days absolutely exhausted’, Deb tells me, ‘the car full of all these cheeses we had made: mascarpone, blue, camembert… We had such a fantastic time that we started making them at home.’ ‘For our own experience’, inserts Sue, before admitting that a possible future business had been in both their minds. ‘It all worked!’, exclaims Deb with triumph. ‘We’d have a cheese party, offering about 13 different types’; their guests would be vociferously divided as to which they preferred. All of this was fuelling their self-confidence but it wasn’t until they started doing courses in Brisbane with Graham Redhead from the Department of Primary Industries (‘he’d started up a little business running home cheese-making courses on the weekend’, says Sue) that they realised that they wanted to make

cheeses commercially. ‘We absolutely loved that course’, Sue tells me. Graham became their mentor, visited the farm of Sue and Rob (which spans 400 acres), checked the conditions and ‘gave us so much self-confidence to start’, Deb continues. The girls set up their own little factory and ‘from the minute we started, it was self-funding.’ ‘We made cheese solid for two weeks’, Sue tells me, ‘packed up our truck and off (to the markets) we went – we came back with two tubs of cream cheese!’ ‘We were absolutely stuffed!’, Deb adds. The girls recently won first prize at Sydney Royal Easter Show for their romano and their ash-matured Friesian Fog; last year at Brisbane’s Ekka they were awarded maximum points for all their entries. Sue spent several months last year travelling, and learning, throughout Victoria and Tasmania on a cheese-making scholarship from Dairy Australia. And yet for all the accolades ‘we’ve got the same concepts – and containers – as we had when we did it at home … hand-made, home-style cheeses like farmers’ wives used to make’, says Sue. ‘We’re really true with our cheese – we like to sell face-to-face… When you’re relaxed it somehow works. Cheese is such a slow food and you can’t rush it – you just have to be slow and steady…We basically want to stay making these hand-made farmhouse cheeses…’ There is an image imprinted as I drive away : emerald rolling hills dotted with fat dairy cows and the gorgeous gleaming faces lit up by the farewell smiles of Deb and Sue, who have just thrust into my arms a bag of cheeses (there goes the diet). In my mouth the lingering salty creaminess of the award-winning Friesian Fog I tasted before I left.

Newly renovated ‘The Deck’ has been transformed into a modern and laid back venue, complete with lounge and deck dining options, not to mention one of the most picturesque settings around. Can’t wait to see you at The Deck at Byron.

Bosworth was seated on the clubhouse deck, a laptop, appropriately, in his lap, and a gin and tonic at his side. ‘What are you doing, old boy?’ I inquired. ‘Looking up Madam Lash on the internet thingy,’ said Bosworth, still fiddling with his trackpad. ‘I’ve taken a renewed interest because Sam Everingham has written a biography of the lass. I’ve found her home page but she doesn’t seem to be on Facebook, whereas that delightful foodie, Victoria Cosford, has a page announcing the arrival of her new book, “Amore and Amaretti”, which involves her deflowering men across Tuscany and a bit of tucker on the side.’ Bosworth was heavily involved in the bondage scene in Kings Cross some thirty years ago, supplying fur-lined handcuffs to the trade. As he tells it, Madam Lash taught him to tie knots in cherry stalks with his tongue. ‘La Lash was here in 1993,’ I remarked, ‘whipping up interest in an exhibition called Sense and Sensuality at the Cape Gallery. I recall an image in the local paper of artist James Guppy biting her on the rear. She was also involved in the ill-fated campaign to stop the Byron Bay community centre being redeveloped.’ ‘One hears also that the astrologer Lilith inspired the Lash’s career,’ said Tosser Digby. ‘One can never account for the number of wild women who live seemingly quietly in our

community.’ ‘I fondly recall Enid Blyton’s BDSM series,’ said Abbotsleigh. ‘It was called “Lashings of Ginger Butt”, if I remember correctly. The adventurers involved were known as The Famous Frottage.’ Abbotsleigh’s memory is prone to delusion. He once recalled that his mother dated the utilitarian philosopher John Stuart Mill, which is hardly possible. ‘Prefer Bizzy Lizzy myself,’ said Monty Bank. We sighed collectively. You may recall, gentle reader, that Lizzy is the club’s dominatrix-on-call. She is currently on a fact-finding tour of the Vatican’s erotica collection, and we miss her tender ministrations. Abbotsleigh is especially fond of her clever wrist action with the cat-o-ninetails while the submissive struggles to stand in chocolate sauce. It seemed appropriate to order up Chef’s bondage specialty, Rack of Greased Pheasant lightly stroked with Rosemary Whips, accompanied by Potato Gimp Melange and followed by the Melon Ball Gag Surprise. We toasted Lizzy’s virtuosity with the 1987 Tory Raincoat And Gas Mask Asphyxiation Cabernet Merlot, with its piquant undertones of blueberry fetish.

Ocean Shores to play State Pennant Byron runs away with Ashes

‘Take that!’ Byron got the kick in the pants they needed to get them over the line in the clash of the locals at Brunswick Heads on Saturday. Byron snatched the Ashes back from the Mullum Moonshiners in a 40 to 8 win. The man everywhere for the Shiners was Scott Potts and best for Byron were Mitch Loane and Lewis Kittsen.

Maggies game a let down The weekend’s AFL saw the Byron Bay Magpies travel to Tweed Tigers land and yet again Pies players turned up late, and some not at all which put the team behind the eight ball from the start as they weren’t able to field a full side. Coach Floyd expressed disappointment at the attitude shown and lack of commitment to the club and mates. The regulars tried hard against a far better team who

convincingly beat the Maggies all around the ground. The backline worked hard against a bigger forward line and brothers Bullock battled hard all day but overall it was a sorry day for the Magpies. It certainly seems like this is the wake up call needed to encourage all players to get their butts to training and make a stronger commitment to the team – remember, the word that has no ‘I’.

The Maggies will be able to turn the season around if players get behind Floydy and the other players. Relying on a ‘we’ll be right on the night’ attitude come finals will see the lads at the bottom of the table as there are much fitter and skilled teams in the comp. Training is on at Bangalow Tuesdays and Thursdays at 6pm sharp. New players welcome. Contact Mick 0432 401 334.

Bangalow wins first Beard-Hill Cup Bangalow hosted the new Village team from Murwillumbah on Saturday, playing for the inaugural Beard-Hill Cup. This event is in honour of Murwillumbah’s foundation player and president and ex Bangalow forward Nigel Beard, and Bangalow’s foundation player and tireless club man Dan Hill. It was a sponsors’ day and a great crowd showed up to cheer on the local lads. Murwillumbah was looking for their first win of the season and came out showing they meant business, surprising Bangalow with their physicality. Bangalow responded and gained enough field position for half back Kerry Jennings to slot three penalties in the first half, but it was Murwillumbah that exploited poor defence in the backs to score two tries out wide. At the break the visitors were up 10-9 and were looking the goods. Bangalow controlled most Photo Jeff ‘out of line ‘ Dawson of the second half, moving Ten minutes into the break, half Nick Hornery, galvanising the ball well with support and turning Murwillumbah’s big Dick Collins scored a convert- the backs who began to run ed try off a nice ball from fly with much more purpose. forwards around.

Both teams had opportunities to push forward but it was Murwillumbah that came within one point with five minutes left at 15-16. At full time the score showed Bangalow won 23-15 after pommy Jim cleverly chipped, regathered and scored a converted try after a Murwillumbah mistake. If their kicker had been on target, the game may have turned out differently. With the best scrum in the competition, a hardened forward pack and a quick skilful backline, Murwillumbah showed they will be a force once they start gelling. Bangalow showed promising signs at times, but again poor discipline and mistakes at vital moments kept the visitors in the game. Best for Bangalow was breakaway Simon Leighton, number 8 Griff, half Kerry Jennings and tight head prop Dan Hill. This weekend Bangalow is on the road taking on top of the table Yamba in last year’s grand final replay. Thanks again to the social committee for putting on a great day.

Crankin’ what’s happening surfside Brunswick Boardriders The Brunswick Boardriders Club held their May club contest on Sunday.

Robbie Graham bags his limit on big whiting from his secret river Video Pete

The penultimate round of the Byron Bay Services Angling Club took place on the weekend with heavy swell from the south pounding the open beaches. Only their southern corners could be fished safely along with areas in the bay facing north or north east. Most fishos got a feed of tailor or bream, but only a few stalwarts made the effort to find water that was fishable. Hoss McGrath had an excellent catch with his bag limit on

both medium sized bream and tailor and a few flathead, while Robbie Graham’s bag limit on big river whiting was highly commendable. The final round in June coincides with the Far North Coast outing and will finalise standings for the 2009/10 season for the Byron Bay Club. Don’t forget the prestigious Cabarita Greenback fishing comp is on 12/13 June, followed by our final June round on 19th and 20th. New members welcome, see Baz or Jamie at the Railway Hotel 5.30pm Fridays.

Property transfer charges an unfair tax Most of the folk associated with real estate in NSW have not taken kindly to the state government’s new property transfer charges, describing them as an ‘unfair tax’. Mary Macken, president of the Law Society of NSW, said the new ‘ad valorem’ property transfer charges were an unfair tax that would burden first home buyers and others thinking about buying in Australia’s most expensive real estate market. ‘To be fairer, the government should be increasing the threshold to $750,000 so the purchaser of the

average home is not caught by this new cost,’ Ms Macken said. ‘With the average price of a home in NSW costing over $500,000, most people buying a new house in the State will be hit with the tax. ‘It will also catch many first home buyers and these struggling people will, sadly, face increased costs on buying a home. ‘A few years ago the cost of transfers was about $50 but it has already increased substantially over the last few years and from July 1, it will increase even more to $194. ‘It should be noted that there has been no consultation with the Law Society and the Real Estate Institute about these new charges. ‘Also, the Torrens Assurance Fund is continuously being pared back by government seeking to limit its exposure to claims under the Fund. But at the same time the government is seeking to charge consumers more for a fund to which they will have active market segments,’ said Chan & limited access.’ Naylor chief executive Sal Carrero. Affordability will suffer ‘There are few family homes under Property accountants Chan & Nay- the $500,000 threshold, which will lor have also weighed in on the issue, penalise families hoping to enter the saying the charges will affect housing market. This tax hits first home buyaffordability. ers square in the eyes. ‘This move will hurt many prospec‘It is also an added burden to proptive home buyers in one of the most erty investors, who are likely to pass

on the increased cost to renters. Increasing the cost of property to investors may seem like a populist approach but it will hurt the vulnerable as well.’ Mr Carrero said the tax hike pushes the dream of home ownership further out of reach at a time when interest rates are on the increase.

‘The critical issue for improving housing affordability is addressing the shortage of supply which this new tax does nothing to address. ‘State governments should be looking at ways to improve affordability, through strategies aimed at increasing land supply and by removing blockages in the planning system.’

‘The federal government rightly places an emphasis on infrastructure funding with a ten year $5.6 billion infrastructure fund directed at “nation building”. ‘However, housing infrastructure cost issues have not been addressed. The dramatic escalation of the housing shortage necessitates the ramping up of the federal government’s Housing Affordability Fund (HAF) beyond the current $512 million previously allocated over a five year period. ‘Importantly the federal budget shows an improved economic and

fiscal outlook. The reduced federal budget deficit of $40 billion and improved economic growth and unemployment outlook is to be commended. ‘With the economy now in recovery, it is appropriate that the budget should be less stimulatory with a substantial reduction in the anticipated budget deficit. Getting the budget “back into the black” through tight control of spending will help to align fiscal strategy with monetary policy and take some pressure off interest rates.’

The Housing Industry Association believes the federal budget provides a plan for economic recovery and sensibly avoids the usual temptation of pre-election big spending commitments. HIA’s managing director Shane Goodwin said that while the federal budget is economically sensible and provides some useful incentives for households, businesses and workforce skills, it contained little to address Australia’s chronic housing shortage and worsening affordability. ‘Unfortunately, the budget fails to

deliver measures to alleviate Australia’s chronic housing shortage. The federal government’s own Housing Supply Council estimates Australia’s housing shortage at nearly 200,000 in 2010 and projects that shortage to double over the next ten years. ‘Australia’s housing pipeline remains clogged by exorbitant infrastructure costs, planning delays and slow land release. Until these bottlenecks are removed many Australian families will remain locked out of home ownership as house prices and rents push ever higher.
