Gold in the old at Bruns fest

Old and Gold vendor Stacy Star from Vintage Palace had another great year at the Brunswick Heads Old and Gold Festival selling her vintage clothes and accessories. Story & photo Eve Jeffery

A celebration of all things old, secondhand and recycled, the 10th annual Old and Gold Festival attracted almost 6,000 punters to Brunswick Heads in search of a bargain and a treasure. Held in various venues around town, there were over 60 household garage sales, an all-time record. There were four fairs at this year’s event – the indoor Collectables Fair, Ye Olde Church Garden Fair, the school bric-a-brac fair plus this year the Pottery and Craft Fair was added to the list. Together they boasted over 100 stalls. A great example of businesses and community groups and residents working together, many community groups used the event to fundraise with combined garage sales and BBQs, cake stalls, soup and hot dog stalls scattered throughout town. An estimated $10,000 was raised for community groups including the

Companion Animals Welfare, Bruns Marine Rescue, the Visitor Centre, the schools and preschools and the Red Cross and St Vinnies. Some of the new activities this year included the Pottery and Craft Fair, a self-guided historical town walking tour, a WWI & WWII plane display, composting demonstrations and tiedye workshops. Ray Evans from Chinderah Bay Antiques was on hand to give estimations and valuations in the hall and he said that there were some surprisingly

valuable items given to him for his appraisal, including an old handkerchief with little pictures of Sir Winston Churchill printed around the border. The third annual Australian Marbles Championship was yet again a highlight of the Old and Gold. The final of the open section was a tense and hard fought battle. In the the end it came down to the fate of two lone marbles which skipped the right way for last year’s champ Andrew Hanlon, who for the third time holds the crown of Australian Marble Champ.

Register for art expo online The Ocean Shores Art Expo is making it easier for artists to register for the 7th annual Art Exhibition and Competition coming up on August 27-29. Peter Hansen has created an new online entry form at www.osartexpo.com. Registration is open until August 6. The expanded number of categories means there will be even more opportunity for local artists to

exhibit and sell their works. This year photographic and digital art as well as printmaking are included for the first time. This has been made possible by the larger exhibition space at the Ocean Shores Public School. The 2010 theme for the expo is ‘The Elements’ and artists need to relate their work to this theme. Enquiries to email registrar@osartexpo.com.

Councils hold fears for biodiversity under state govt planning template The significance of the north coast’s biodiversity as a recognised ecological treasure places a responsibility on all levels of government for its protection. But councils in the region are concerned that the future protection of biodiversity is at risk from new State planning requirements. The state government has imposed on local government a requirement to develop new planning instruments in accordance with a state wide standard model that has been in development since 2006. At a recent meeting of the Northern Rivers Regional Organisation of Councils (NOROC) a unanimous resolution was passed that will raise the concerns about the standard LEP with the State Government and seek amendment to allow for responsible natural resource management. Byron Shire Mayor Jan Barham said, ‘The united regional position sends a clear message to the state government about the inadequacy of the imposed planning process. As all councils are included in the Far North Coast Regional Strategy there is an opportunity for regionspecific changes to be made to the standard instrument. ‘The councils have expressed concerns that the template fails to meet the government’s own requirements for biodiversity protection and they seek approval for local provisions for the region.’ Byron Shire Council last year wrote to the Premier to explain the shortcomings of the state wide template, especially in relation to natural resource management and particularly biodiversity protection. According to Cr Barham, ‘Council has not adopted a document for exhibition due to concerns about the ability to maintain the protection it currently provides for recognised environmental values as well as provisions that promote the

enhancement and restoration. ‘Despite assurances by the Department of Planning there hasn’t been support for councils to use local provisions to maintain current levels of protection. The introduction of the new provisions would mean approvals that involve vegetation removal will be taken away from local control. ‘All councils have agreed that the overriding of local planning by the Native Vegetation Act is largely ineffective and potentially destructive to the north coast ecological values. ‘All councils on the north coast except Byron have completed draft LEPs that have been on public exhibition. The Northern Rivers Environment Defenders Office has provided analysis of the region’s plans and provided support for the concerns raised by local government. ‘The process of exhibition has allowed the community to scrutinise the flaws in the state’s planning process and the potential for the loss of biodiversity protection.’ Q National parks sellout, page 12

Bamboo craft Dee Tinley and the Byron Youth Crew and Belle Arnold, Council’s youth activities coordinator, have joined resources on a project. According to organisers, Regional Arts NSW have given the green light to get that started this Wednesday with an eight week course to be run all over the shire. This bamboo craft course will produce and market two products – screen printed canvas and bamboo room dividers and double hammocks. Fifteen young people will participate in this course for 12 to 24 year olds who are not in school.

Macquarie Energy seeks to assess petroleum potential

Luis Feliu

A petroleum-prospecting application covering hundreds of square kilometres in the Tweed and Brunswick Valleys has been lodged by a major energy company. Macquarie Energy wants to assess the pe ! " # troleum potential of the area $ % & % ' % ((( ) via what it calls ‘desktop (com-

&

puter) studies’. A spokesperson for the Department of Primary Industries (DPI) told The Echo that the special prospecting authority applied for with the NSW Department of Primary Industries allowed the holder to assess the petroleum potential of the area for 12 months. A spokesperson for Apollo Gas, a wholly owned subsidiary

of Macquarie Energy, said the ‘desktop’ studies involved assessing data obtained from previous surface and aerial surveys, and did not involve any drilling. Recently, the Greens called on the government to protect the Gunnedah basin ‘food bowl’ from coal-seam gas exploration and extraction by the Santos company because

of the threat it posed to the local environment. The Greens private members bill to protect prime agricultural land from mining was defeated recently by just one vote in NSW Parliament when the government, the Shooters Party and Reverend Fred Nile united to vote against the bill.

School joins in artsCape program As part of the education program being run by artsCape Biennial 2010, the Byron Community Primary School has been participating in an artist in residence workshop with local artist, Lynne Adams. Over the last three weeks Lynne has been working with kids from kinder to year 6 teaching them how to create a magical underwater garden from plastic PET bottles, while also demonstrating the importance of recycling objects that appear to have no further value. The students will also have the unique opportunity of seeing their finished work at Clarkes Beach Reserve during the exhibition from June 26 to July 11, alongside 69 Australian and international artists. Following the exhibition the artwork will be given to the school and later installed in their brand new buildings. See more at www.artscapebiStudents Kahlia Ashford and Elf Ellis busy making flowers.

Council wins national WED award for sewerage plan Byron Shire Council’s Brunswick River Estuary Management Plan and Sewerage Augmentation Scheme has won the United Nations Association of Australia’s Excellence in Overall Environmental Management Local Government award. Deputy Mayor Basil Cameron accepted the award at a ceremony in Melbourne. He said the award recognises ten years of dedicated efforts from the community and committee members in driving and developing a sustainable vision for the management of the Brunswick River. ‘Often the vital repair and conservation work on our biodiversity is not seen by the community,’ Cr Cameron said.

‘We may not pass it in the street, but it is the way in which we live every day that has the greatest potential impact on our environment. ‘The United Nations award recognises the sustainable approach Council has taken to improve and restore the balance to the Brunswick River system.’ Achievements to date on the Brunswick Estuary Management Plan (BEMP ) include over 60,000 trees planted, over five kilometres of cattle exclusion fencing, stabilisation of 500 metres of slumping river bank, over 1500 hours in volunteer and paid riparian bush regeneration including endangered ecological communities such as

salt marsh, floodplain rainforests and wetlands, improvement of eight barriers to fish passage opening up 30 kilometres of the river and tributaries, reintroducing snags for fish habitat, expansion of the Main Arm effluent reuse scheme, introduction of the ‘Land for Wildlife’ program, and ongoing water and catchment education in local schools. According to Council, these above works have led to the reduction of large volumes of river sediment which was ending up in and potentially affecting the Cape Byron Marine Park, of which Brunswick River is a part. A key objective of the BEMP has been the implementation of the Brunswick Area Sew-

erage Augmentation Scheme (BASAS). The new $39 million sewerage scheme replaces outdated sewage treatment plants at Mullumbimby and Brunswick Heads which have been identified as a major contributor to poor water quality in the Brunswick River. Due for completion in late 2010, the new plant will divert treated effluent from Simpsons Creek at Brunswick Heads towards beneficial reuse on farms as part of the Main Arm effluent reuse scheme. The Brunswick Area Sewerage Augmentation Scheme was also a recent category winner of the 2010 National Awards for Local Government for Innovation in Natural Resource Management.

Builder considers action against Shearwater office holders Eve Jeffery

In the aftermath of the Shearwater Steiner School’s voluntary administration, one of the school’s creditors, Ware Building Pty Ltd, has been one of those unhappy with the outcome. Ware Building’s legal representative Rick Barraclough says that there may still be a case to answer in recovering its debt of $460,000. ‘As a result of the Deed of Company Agreement (DoCA), no action presently lies against the school,’ says Mr Barraclough. ‘However, the officers of the incorporated association which operated the school at the time of the binding contract can be held personally liable for the debt pursuant to the provisions of the Associations Incorporation Act 1984. Ware Building intends to pursue those officers to recover the outstanding debt.’ Matthew Ware, a director of construction company Warebuilding, and a representative from the Shearwater Steiner School in Mullumbimby, put

their signatures on a contract in mid November 2008. The contract was an Australian Building Industry Contracts (ABIC) for a price of $1,616,390 plus GST. Ware Building commenced building work at the the school and continued for five months. The fifth monthly claim was submitted and approved by the architect for payment. Then, according to Mr Ware, the deal went pear-shaped.

‘Have to wait’ ‘Matthew Ware and I were notified to attend a meeting with Stan Stevens and Alan Coman at the school in June last year,’ says Mark Ware, managing director of Ware Building. ‘At this meeting we were informed that the school was not able to meet the payment nor any other payment and we would have to wait. ‘We then advised the school we were not able to continue.’ After much discussion and legal advice to Ware Building, an application under the Security of Payment Act was made,

claiming that Ware Building had already finished 52 per cent of the project and had only been paid for 20 per cent of it. Subsequent to that action, a payment plan was put forward by the school which was accepted in principle by Ware Building and the Security of Payment action was stopped. Ware Building now believed they were going to be paid the sum of about $460,000 plus interest, and that these payments were to be made over a period of ten months. Not ideal, but Ware Building could still operate their business based on the proposed cash flow.

Inadequate offer ‘At all times it was stated to us by the school that we would be paid all monies including interest,’ says Mr Ware. ‘During the period of this delay the school took steps to restructure the business entity so that it could appoint a VA and avail itself of the protections available under the Corporations Act’. At the creditors meeting, Ware Build-

the cafĂŠ lawyer

ing voted against what they saw as an inadequate offer made to extinguish the debt. Mr Ware says he feels at times that he has been painted as the villain in this issue, but he says he is just trying to uphold his rights. ‘I am not the bad person here,’ he says. ‘I have done nothing wrong. In good faith I undertook significant building works for the school. I am entitled to be paid for that work and will pursue payment. It is immoral to write off the debt. ‘Before the VA, no-one from the school had the common decency to tell me that they proposed to make arrangements to deny me the right to my money. My wish is for those responsible for the school entering into a building contract which it was unable to perform to be held accountable for all money owing to Ware Building.’ The Echo contacted a member of the school board who later said the Ware claims had been discussed among board members but they had decided not to comment.

Lighthouse Road saga continues to drag on Five years on since the land slip at Byron Bay’s Lighthouse Road and Byron Shire Council admits progress has been frustratingly slow. Community infrastructure executive manager Phil Holloway said the approvals required from numerous state departments for design and Natural Disaster Funding have been ‘exhaustive’. This month Council will be submitting its final Review of Environmental Factors (REF) to National Parks for signoff and approval. National Parks approval is required due to the works affecting the Cape Byron conservation area. Mr Holloway said finding a solution that meets National Parks environmental requirements for the boardwalk and the Roads and Traffic Au-

thority (RTA) has not been a straightforward process. He said the location has also meant increased engineering design to allow traffic to continue using the road while under construction. ‘This is effectively the second time Council has gone through the process,’ Mr Holloway said. ‘In early 2008 only one tender was submitted for the reconstruction work. Regrettably due to the high cost, the tender was not accepted as additional funding was not available from the RTA. ‘As a consequence, an extensive geotechnical design review was completed. Unfortunately the redesign has required another round of approvals.’ Council will also be submitting the final detailed de-

Well known Mullumbimby identity Jacob Baldwin died peacefully at home last Wednesday June 9 after a short battle with cancer. His achievements in the disability field are numerous but he is perhaps best known for the Ability Trek where he circumnavigated Australia in his electric wheelchair raising awareness about the abilities of people classified as disabled. The four and half year epic journey, from January 1992 to September 1996, was captured by a film crew and the resulting documentary was shown on ABC TV. Jacob was also featured on Australian Story. Jacob was born in Tientsin, China, in 1951 during a time of revolution. His Ukranian mother Veronica recalls the military hospital being full of soldiers. He was three months premature, the labour lasted five days and his cerebellum was damaged while he was being delivered with forceps, leaving him with cerebral palsy. Jacob chose to look upon his condition as a ‘gift’ rather than a disability. The family fled China two years later, with Russia or Australia being the two destinations available to them. They close Australia. His schooling was at The Spastic Centre in Sydney. Upon completing his

schooling, Jacob opted for a life outside of the institution and sheltered workshops and went on to work and study in the mainstream. Jacob often spoke about the importance of people with classified disabilities being included in the community rather than being segregated. There was no government support at the time – his classmates had to carry him up the stairs to lectures and his stepfather Kevin acted as his scribe.

Campaigning for disability rights and promoting abilities was his lifelong passion. Despite his numerous achievements in this field, it was his huge heart and zest for life, which endeared him to so many. Close friend Julia Fox, who met Jacob when she decided to join the support crew for the Ability Trek said he was inspiring. ‘He helped so many people realise their full potential – not just people with classified dis-

abilities. Physically he needed a lot of support, but he knew he had a lot to give to the community. He loved life and never wasted a moment.’ In 2003 Jacob moved from Mullumbimby to Lismore. He is survived by his mother and stepfather, Veronica and Kevin Baldwin, and his partner Deanna Perry. A celebration of his life will be held today June 15 at 11am at Gummifera Gardens in Goonellabah.

Newrybar to light up in fireworks spectacular Newrybar Public School is set to light up the night sky this Saturday June 19 with its biggest annual fireworks and bonfire spectacular yet. Run by the school’s Parents and Citizens Association, Newrybar Fireworks has been celebrated by the school for more than a quarter of a century. ‘It’s the 27th running,’ said P&C President Melissa Macdonald. ‘Newrybar Fireworks is definitely a worthy school tradition. It’s lots of fun and helps raise money for our school too.’ School Principal Judi Albans said the fireworks evening was a tradition which added to the more than 120-year history of the Newrybar school. ‘Our history dates back to 1890, and that’s a fantastic achievement,’ she said. ‘Newrybar Fireworks taps directly into that history, through community support. ‘We’ve got so many people helping – from right across the district. That’s the real history – that famous country spirit,

of pitching in for each other. It’s always been there, and it always will. ‘There’s Alstonville Apex Club, Bangalow Lions Club, and Zentveld Coffee. It’s all very professional, too. The Newrybar Volunteer Bush Fire Brigade will be in attendance, as always. The pyrotechnic experts from Spectrum Fireworks will no doubt aim to top last year’s fireworks spectacle. P&C secretary Vicki Caesar, said her kids talk about the fireworks night all year. Re-

becca Zentveld, a parent and member of the hardworking organizing committee, said, ‘I love the gathering of the community, especially for the Byron area, in an outdoor wintery event. We can all rug up and enjoy good local food around the bonfire.’ ‘There’s so much to do during the night,’ said Carol Erskine, another proud parent. Activities will include Tombola, chocolate wheel and raffles. Plus there’s plenty of food stalls, with everything

from the Lions Club’s famous Aussie barbeque, to vegetarian curries, chicken satays, home made cakes, deserts and Apex Club doughnuts. There’s also local Zentveld coffee and homemade lemonade. Entertainment includes DJ music, with requests. Plus there’ll be plenty to entertain the littlies, including a merry-go-round, ferris wheel and bumper cars – all topped off with the night sky fireworks spectacular. Ms Albans said parent involvement was crucial to a successful school. ‘It’s something we’re fortunate to have in abundance, whether through the P&C, who spent months organising this event, or the many other ways in which parents help. Even parents whose children no longer attend the school pitch in.’ School gates open for the fireworks spectacular at 4pm, with fireworks kicking off about 8pm.

Teens go green at SUSS Forum

The Students Using Sustainable Strategies (SUSS) Forum was held from May 26 to 28 for the fourth year at Linnaeus Estate, Broken Head. Enthusiastic students and teachers from 15 high schools across the region spent two days and nights sharing their skills and ideas on environmental issues and sustainability. According to organisers, the result was ‘a lot of excitement and students buzzing and bursting with ideas and actions to take back to their schools and communities’. A student from Mullumbimby High, Mia Robertson, said, ‘The forum was fun, a great opportunity and I was proud to be a part of it. I can’t wait to come back next year and tell everyone how I have changed the world.’ Andrew Turbill, a climate change facilitator with the Department of Environment, www.echo.net.au

Climate Change and Water, informed the students on the latest in climate change science. While the forecast was not overwhelmingly positive, Andrew left the students with a great sense of hope in their role as ‘leaders of change’ within their communities. Forum coordinator Tash Morton said, ‘The feedback from the event has been fantastic. The students and teachers are very inspired to make changes in their schools. ‘Events like this are critical for youth who care about the environment. It gives them a chance to meet other likeminded students, feel supported and encouraged by the organisations involved and to develop skills in environmental actions such as awareness raising and auditing waste and water, which they can implement in their schools and lives.’

The SUSS Forum is a partnership project between the North East Waste Forum (on behalf of member councils Ballina Shire, Byron Shire, Clarence Valley, Richmond Valley and Tweed Shire), Linnaeus Estate, DECCW National Parks and Wildlife Division, Rous Water, Southern Cross University, Dorroughby Environmental Education Centre and Environmental Encounters. Additional sponsors for this year’s event included Northern Rivers Group Environmental Educators, Northern Inland Regional Waste, Lismore Shire Council, EnviTE, Kyogle Tidy Towns and Tim Fitzroy Consulting. Funding is currently being sought to hold future SUSS Forums. Any enquiries to Tash Morton, SUSS Forum Coordinator on tash@evolveducation.com.

Member for Ballina Don Page is supporting the National Heart Foundation in raising awareness of heart disease. ‘Many people do not realise that heart disease is the number one killer of women in Australia, claiming the lives of 11,221 women in 2008,’ Mr Page said. ‘Heart disease kills four times as many women as breast cancer. ‘I had major heart surgery eight months ago so I understand better than most people how important it is to look after your heart. ‘The Heart Foundation’s research has found that only one in five women know heart disease is the leading cause of death. Heart disease is largely preventable by leading a healthy lifestyle. ‘There are a number of risk factors that increase a person’s chances of developing heart

disease. These are smoking, high blood cholesterol, lack of physical activity, Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes, high blood pressure, being overweight, depression, social isolation

and lack of social support. ‘Women should make sure they have regular checkups, stop smoking, eat healthily, exercise regularly, know their cholesterol levels, their blood

pressure and their weight and get them checked regularly.’ For more information about heart disease go to National Heart Foundation www.heartfoundation.org.au.

David’s cloth art on show in the Bay Victoria Cosford

Byron Bay local David Gilet will be launching an exhibition of his cloth-based wall-hangings at the Byron Community Centre on Sunday June 20. He has been sewing his own clothes for nearly thirty years, a situation which was borne out of a need in the 80s to replace disintegrating clothes he had bought in India and finding nothing in the shops which appealed. Around the same time he began making wallhangings ‘to cover some dingy inner-city walls’, he told The Echo. He has always used cheap recycled cloth – about 80 per cent is ‘re-used material’ and the exhibition should be perceived as ‘a series of visual ideas in cloth...[having] nothing to do with neatness, good sewing or macrame.’ The hangings are an eclectic mix of fantasy, whimsy, exotica, geometry, floral and vibrancy. David’s exhibition, entitled ‘Cloth Art’, will run from June 18 to 25 and the launch kicks off at 2.30pm. 10 June 15, 2010 The Byron Shire Echo

GREAT DEALS GREAT Diane Jones consults some of her class about the type of books they like to read.

Bangalow Public School’s recent Madhatter’s Tea Party fundraiser was a huge success with $4,000 raised to spend on new reading materials for the school. P&C president Michelle Spry said the funds were a combination of raffle ticket sales and the proceeds from fun activities held in the school grounds

during the Bangalow Billycart Derby. ‘We were overwhelmed by everyone’s generosity and are glad to be able to put the money to such good use, knowing it will benefit students at the school for many years to come,’ said Michelle. Assistant principal Diane Jones, who is responsible for

ordering the new books, said it was wonderful to be looking through lists knowing she could actually place an order. ‘The new reading materials will be a fantastic addition to the school’s resources and allow us to continue our strong focus on literacy at Bangalow Primary,’ she said.

Special

Biodiversity captured in photo comp The Brunswick Valley was on its best ‘ecological’ foot forward at the recent Brunswick Valley Nature Festival photography competition. Brunswick Valley Landcare member Wendy Gibney said the photography competition saw entries submitted from the clear upper reaches of the Mount Jerusalem stream to the ecologically endangered salt marsh along the Brunswick River. The photographic competition was part of the World Environment Day celebrations held in early June. Ms Gibney said the competition was titled ‘Visions of the Valley’ and was a great opportunity to highlight the magnificent biodiversity of the Brunswick Valley. Winner of the competi-

tion was Reid Waters with his photograph titled March on Mullum. Second and third prize winners was Jimmy Barton (Hidden Paradise) and Alan Rayward (It’s good to be green). Highly commended photographers included Jimmy Britton (Passion Fruit surprise) and Mohana Grierson (Tuga-war Jumping Ants and Lichen). People’s Choice winner was Deborah Pearse with her entry titled Osprey. Byron Shire Mayor Jan Barham presented the awards and was impressed with the level of talent and choice of photographic subjects. ‘The visual elements within the photographs captured beautifully the range of biodiversity within our shire. When

you look at the pictures it’s very easy to see why 2010 is the International Year of Biodiversity. It is worth celebrating.’ A selection of the photographs will be on display in Byron Shire Council foyer over the next few weeks. For anyone interested in joining Brunswick Valley Landcare, contact member Jane Wickers 6684 6212 or go to www.brunswickvalleylandcare.org.au. Brunswick Valley Landcare Incorporated was formed in November 2003 as a non-political, not for profit organisation to help Landcare groups and landholders in the Brunswick River Catchment develop projects and apply for funds. Prior to that, local Landcare groups worked in isolation.

Reforming Ruddbot seen as remote Volume 25#02

June 15, 2010

National parks sellout Those keen on the protection of national parks are alarmed by the latest bill put up by the NSW government and supported by the opposition. According to the National Parks Association of NSW, the Nature Conservation Council of NSW, the Blue Mountains Conservation Society, Greens MP Ian Cohen and The Wilderness Society, the National Parks and Wildlife Amendment (Visitors and Tourists) Bill 2010 passed last week will allow hotels, resorts, restaurants and private facilities into national parks. It is not unusual for lodges and cabins to be allowed in national parks across the world, but this new legislation seems to promise larger-scale development. This threatens two key values of national parks – the protection of valuable natural environment and their enjoyment by the general public. If private operators gain exclusive access to sections of a park, then it might as well be freehold land; I can’t see the state government having the resources to keep a close eye on development. What’s also distressing is that parks may be closed off for private ‘events’ – this is elitism at its worst. Surely the rich have plenty of private playgrounds to indulge themselves in as it is. Particularly galling is the fact the conservation groups were not consulted on the bill. Perhaps the Labor Party was too busy talking to the Shooters Party about the possibility of hunting rights and rifle ranges? Particularly dangerous is that the minister, in this case the much-loved Frank Sartor, will be in charge of approvals. The Labor government continues to concentrate power in a few pairs of hands, uncaring that this raises a stench in the nostrils of the voting public. It’s a death wish and voters will be happy to fulfil it at the next election. By supporting this bill, the coalition has shown it’s not up to the job, either. According to Kevin Evans, executive officer of the National Parks Association of NSW, ‘The legacy of Labor Premiers Neville Wran and Bob Carr who led Australia on environment issues now lies trampled in the rush to pander to tourist developers.’ I think it was probably trampled a few years back. And also according to the NPA, only six per cent of the state is protected in national parks anyway, so why the rush to fill them with more development? It seems like pandering in the worst ALP tradition. It could be argued that the government needs the ‘value-adding’ – a dubious prospect – to pay for the parks’ upkeep, but that would be better done with an overall conservation levy. I for one would be happy to pay an annual levy, like the Medicare levy, dedicated to park protection – as long as it didn’t disappear into general revenue or ministers’ lunches. Hang on, isn’t that what my tax money is for? Governments have been slow to recognise the need to protect the natural environment. The first national park, the magnificent Yosemite in the USA, was established in 1872. Since then the dedication of land to protection has been a grudging process, hence the parlous state of the world’s biodiversity. Today, part of the problem is the perception of green things as ‘resources’. It’s a double-edged sword: it has enabled conservationists to convince politicians they have economic value, but once they have economic value, politicians see green things as tradeable. The truth is, trees and wildlife are the heart and lungs of our planet. Once they’re gone, we’ll have nothing left to celebrate in private resorts. – Michael McDonald, editor

12 June 15, 2010 The Byron Shire Echo

o Kevin Rudd was greeted in Perth by hordes of passionate demonstrators, outraged by the damage his proposed mining tax was going to do to their livelihood, their state and the Australian way of life. They were well organised, beautifully coordinated and most carried professionally printed placards embossed with well-crafted slogans, following identical patterns. A fine display of solidarity. Some three decades go a Labor Prime Minister was facing a political crisis of similar magnitude. In 1949 Ben Chifley went to an election on a platform of nationalising Australia’s private banks. Again, there was well-organised outrage. Fred Daly, then a humble backbencher, used to tell the story of addressing a meeting in Sydney where ranks of well dressed bank employees arrived to heckle him mercilessly. Exasperated, Fred accused one of them: ‘I’ll bet you’re getting paid time and a half for this.’ The indignant teller responded: ‘That’s a terrible lie. We’re all on double time.’ And the might of the banks eventually proved overwhelming. The high court ruled their nationalisation unconstitutional; and Labor lost the election anyway, ushering in 23 years of conservative rule. The miners are no doubt hoping that history will repeat itself. Their financial clout is comparable to that of the banks, their rent-a-crowds equally well-disciplined and for the moment at least it appears that a decisive section of the voters are persuaded that they, rather than the elected government, are the ones acting in the public interest. In the mining states of Western Australia and

S

Queensland Labor’s polling is bleak, and elsewhere the mood is verging on panic. And at least some of the attack is coming from supposedly friendly quarters. Rudd’s old mate Twiggy Forrest has told the Prime Minister that this time the miners are serious, they’re not bluffing. The tacit admission that in the past they may indeed have been crying wolf ought to have helped the

ing as it did from a friend, was that Rudd was not entirely rational, that perhaps, just perhaps, their trusted leader was turning into a bit of a psycho. Unwanted memories of Mark Latham came flooding back. Perhaps all Labor leaders came from the same distorted mould, and under a little pressure would crack. This was not what Marr meant at all, and he said so

Rudd seemed to stumble from one allegedly world-shattering crisis to another, with humiliating backdowns the punctuation in the process. by Mungo MacCallum government, but in fact it has worked the other way; like Tony Abbott, the statement that they do not always tell the truth has been taken as evidence that this time they just might be. Then a former Queensland treasurer, Keith de Lacey, now himself a mining executive, declared that Rudd had become an object of ridicule and should make way for someone who really cared about the country. The problem here was that de Lacey himself has long been an object of ridicule booth inside and outside the Labor Party, and is in any case a long time enemy of Rudd dating back to the days when Rudd ran Premier Wayne Goss’s office. No one has ever taken him seriously. Far more damaging was David Marr and his Quarterly Essay concluding that there was anger at the core of Rudd, and that he was driven by rage. The implication many drew from this verdict, com-

loudly and publicly. I thought I understood what he was getting at: there was indeed anger in Rudd, a hatred of injustice which went back to his childhood and which manifested itself in occasional temper tantrums, but also in a reforming zeal, a passion for change which old Labor men and women referred to as the fire in the belly. There was absolutely nothing wrong with that, and indeed the major criticism of Rudd was that he did not have enough of it: he was the Ruddbot, programmed by selfcontrol and spin. But in the circumstances it did not help. Abbott was supposed be the erratic one, the wild man too risky to elect. If Rudd was also some kind of a loose cannon, what was the point of keeping him? After all, his reformist zeal didn’t seem to have achieved all that much. Indeed, it seemed to consist largely of stumbling from one allegedly world-shattering crisis to another, with humiliating

back downs the punctuation in the process. This, at least, was the view of the commentariat at News Ltd. But out in the real world, even in the backblocks of Queensland, the reaction wasn’t quite as clear-cut. I spent the Queen’s Birthday weekend (Queensland still holds it) in the gulf country, where the punters were pouring in to the Normanton Rodeo, and the miners of Mt Isa were congregating at Karumba for the fishing. If the pundits were right, this should have been the heartland of the revolt. But in fact the mood was more one of bewilderment than of betrayal. When they could be persuaded to talk about politics at all, which was not often, they said that they felt that they really didn’t understand Rudd, and that he didn’t understand them either. He didn’t talk to them and he didn’t consult them; all they ever got was bumped-up little shiny bums from the public service telling them what to do. There was anger and indignation, but most of it was aimed at the state government rather than the feds, and there was still an underlying sense that if only Rudd could see what their problems were, he would do the right thing and they would trust him again. As for Tony Abbott – well, as one woman who described herself as being on the conservative side put it, he really didn’t seem to have the charisma to be prime minister. She probably meant gravitas rather than charisma, but the point was clear: Rudd might be a bit of a letdown, but the alternative was still unconvincing. Labor’s plan A might still be in place, but only just. It is time – long past time, in fact – for Rudd to pull his finger out.

New advancements in porcelain technology available at BHDC Zirconia has been used in dentistry for over 20 years now. It is a silicate and the oldest element in the earth’s crust, is acid resistant and doesn’t release any allergens. Traditionally a “zirconia” crown consists of a core made of zirconia, with porcelain layered or veneered on top to make it look like a tooth. Generally very successful, but in areas of heavy biting, the veneered porcelain layer of these crowns can be susceptible to chipping. It is now possible to prescribe full anatomical solid zirconia restorations using a new, highly translucent Prettau zirconia.

The not-happy 14th anniversary

Broken Head Quarry Earthworks

‘Byron Shire Council Property Portfolio – For Sale by Public Tender Closing 10th June 1996.’ Short of funds in 1996, Council put the Community Land which includes the Suffolk Park Caravan Park up for sale along with the Ocean Shores Roundhouse, the Lawson Street Council Chambers, and a few other town blocks. L J Hooker and Knight Frank were agents. Council’s legal advice at the time was that the land had to be reclassified as Operational before it could be sold. The Suffolk Park community via the Progress Association vigorously objected to this, and the

caravan park was eventually withdrawn from sale. The proposal to reclassify this land has been put forward several times over the past 14 years and defeated each time, but the issue just won’t go away. In April this year Council voted (Crs Barham and Staples dissenting) to again consider reclassification. The Progress Association sees two main issues with reclassification: Firstly, this land was set aside for community use by George Suffolk in 1922, and transferred to the council in 1958 for the sum of ten shillings ($1). As such it should remain ‘for all time’ as Community Land, and

any conflicts with its current use should be resolved in that context to accommodate as far as possible all concerned. Secondly, while we are sure that the intentions of those proposing reclassification are well meaning, there is the unintended consequence of leading a future impecunious council into the temptation of selling it once it becomes Operational. How much temptation? The 1.3ha of Alcorn Street beachfront land transferred in 1958 for $1 is now probably worth well over $20 million. The matter is a complex one which potentially affects us all: the Suffolk Park community, Caravan Park users and per-

manent residents, and Byron Shire Council. The Progress Association is holding a public meeting at the Suffolk Park Community Hall on Tuesday June 22, 7pm8.30pm, refreshments available, to discuss this matter. We want to assess the community’s current views on the proposed reclassification of the land, and to hear arguments for and against. Mayor Jan Barham will address the meeting, and other councillors have been invited to speak. We encourage all interested Suffolk Parkers to attend.

of the regeneration work at Shearwater also encouraged me to keep planting! There was a basket weaving workshop that was booked out and hopefully will be repeated to accommodate the number of people who weren’t able to attend. On Sunday there were talks in the Hall all day covering migratory birdlife, cane toads, Indian Mynah control, soil characteristics and challenges, regeneration approaches and celebrations. The Parents of Shearwater provided delicious catering and the whole weekend was supported by comprehensive displays that were ‘manned’ by enthusiastic nature festival educationalists. Thank you to everyone who was part of this incredible opportunity to be part of the renaissance of our region, helping to retain our position as the second most biodiverse region in Australia. Thank you Brunswick Valley Landcare Group and good luck putting together the next festival planned for 2012. Incidentally, there was no charge for attendance and activities for children were provided. An incredible bounty available to all residents and it was made possible by generous sponsorship and assistance from the NSW Environmental Trust.

with everybody talking about a possible extension of the walkway all the way to the Lighthouse, eliminating the need for those with a disability and mothers with prams using the gravelled roadside walking to one of Australia’s most iconic destinations. Five years ago a young couple I know had their first child and he is now at school and a further two boys have been born into that family! The Yelgun to Brunswick highway upgrade took approximately two years to build and was started after June 2005. Four cottages have been rebuilt since 2005 just below the collapsed walkway! We hear the consultation process is still taking place and then the rebuilding will go to tender, however no specific timelines are offered. This whole process is an indictment on our state and local governments as well as other organisations involved and one which we should all consider unacceptable. Surely it is not all that difficult to coordinate and con-

I find it a shame you can only print letters to criticise people mainly Justine Elliot (twice in three weeks). She is such a busy Minister you have to book her months ahead for any function. She is told what she has to attend and doesn’t have much of a say where she has to be, being not only our local member but also Minister for Ageing. Her young children should be the ones complaining that their mother spends so much time away trying to make Australia a better place to live for ours and their future. Walk a mile in her shoes before you complain.

The best festival The untiring Brunswick Valley Landcare Committee and friends produced the best and most interesting local interest festival. Held in the restored Civic Memorial Hall in Mullumbimby there was a well attended opening party with awards presented to the really brilliant local photographers who entered their interpretation of the theme, ‘Biodiversity in the Region’. A number of these photographs will be on display in Council Chambers this week for those of you who missed the full exhibition. The weekend was packed full with walks around Mullumbimby to learn more about regeneration and sustainable gardening in practice, ecolological restoration and plant identification with knowledgeable experts in their fields on Saturday. Two bush birds walks were booked out and the opportunity to see the fish passage built at Shearwater with the assistance of State Water was a revelation. The success

‘How To Stop & Repair Autism Spectrum Disorders Without Drugs’ Information Session by Michael Sichel ND DO PhD. Michael Sichel ND DO PhD (in Health Education) has been an osteopath and naturopath for 40 years. He is a founding member of the MINDD Foundation – whose doctors deal with autism spectrum disorders. MINDD holds an International Conference in Sydney in May, annually. Michael lectures to many parents and teachers at schools and universities and his treatment and restoration of ASD children is his passion and joy. He has written four books on ASD children, one is now in its updated Third Edition. “Good News for the Alphabet Kidsâ€? has been described by several parents as a healing ‘bible’. It is used now successfully by nearly two thousand parents. Michael’s ďŹ rst ASD family was in 1992 (two boys, reversed their problems in one week!). Unfortunately the restoration process since 2000 has become signiďŹ cantly more difďŹ cult. In 2003 - 2004 to deal with this, Michael began to introduce the important and highly successful non-invasive natural chelation and function restoring process for children in the autism spectrum community.

large electricity poles that are so prevalent and obtrusive in other areas. Our internationally rated golf course was deliberately designed around the natural habitat areas here, to protect and preserve the wildlife; and with three nature reserves and 11 natural parks left within our boundaries maintained by many dedicated locals, we believe we’ve well and truly earned that green conservation tag. To top that off our local shopping centre has listened to the community, and linked up to the electricity grid with solar panels that feed into the gross meters, and these will also be erected on the new Country Target store, if Byron Council will stop placing obstacles in their way. It’s ironic, really, that Ocean

Village is the first shopping centre in Australia to meet the energy saving challenge. If it had been a supermarket in Byron Bay, you would have seen a parade to mark the event, heaps of publicity and the Mayor’s mug in the next photo opportunity to promote this achievement. Well, we’re proud of our hard earned accomplishments and want to congratulate the Ocean Village Management Team and Ross Warburton for daring to provide what the community wants. You’ve certainly inspired us to tap into that grid too on our own home and save on our electricity bills! If anybody’s disappointed in the snail’s pace in building the new Country Target, then complain to Council directly, because it’s their lack of vision and stall-

ing procedures that are holding this project up. Tina Petroff

Relevant values Those residents (and Echo readers and management) who are concerned about Byron becoming a monocultural backpacker tourist town may be interested to learn about plans for a new local newspaper catering specifically for backpackers and ‘under 40 year-old’ travellers. Called the Byron Times it caters for the ‘untapped market’ created by these visitors. Promotional material for the new newspaper points out that ‘less than 5% of tourist travellers pick up and read through an Echo or Byron Shire News while on their stay continued on page 16

Council’s veils of secrecy At last week’s Byron Shire Council meeting there were two items concerning alleged breaches of the Code of Conduct. The first was a summary of all complaints received in the (financial) year 08-09. The staff report merely described the document as ‘confidential’ without bothering to give reasons – which may itself be a breach of the Code of Conduct. So how many complaints were lodged? What types of complaints? Against staff or councillors? What procedure was used to adjudicate the complaints? What were the outcomes of those complaints? What sanctions were applied? These are legitimate questions that we who pay the bills for the paper shuffling are entitled to ask, but the staff don’t want to answer. The second item concerned a complaint against Cr Tom Tabart, lodged by I don’t know who. I know that Ross Tucker lodged a complaint to ICAC against Jenny Coman way back then which was unsuccessful. Anyway the staff again recommended confidentiality offering two reasons:

1. That the reason for closing the meeting to the public to consider this item be that it contains confidential information that would, if disclosed, prejudice the maintenance of law. 2. That on balance it is considered that receipt and discussion of the matter in open Council would be contrary to the public interest as disclosure of the confidential information could prejudice the maintenance of law. Now it doesn’t take a genius to see that point 2 is merely a revised version of point 1, meaning that staff actually have only one reason (I’ve noticed that they do this a lot, which suggests that it must be a successful ploy). The words ‘could prejudice the maintenance of law’ are used because this, apparently, is the only valid reason available under the Local Government Act. So how would law and order be affected by publishing details of the complaint? The only scenario I can imagine is if a guilty person is exonerated then that might encourage public contempt for the process, but that’s probably

not what the legislators had in mind. Whatever they had in mind, it’s clearly one of those clauses which by their vagueness invite misuse. Anyway apparently Cr Tom was exonerated and the person who undertook the investigation said there was no reason for confidentiality. Which suggests that the staff in recommending confidentiality are pissed off with the outcome, doesn’t it? One wonders what would their recommendation have been if he’d been found guilty. This process of checking Tom out involved letters, legal advice, 80 pages of documents and who knows how much staff time. Accordingly I’d like to know how it all works. I won’t be holding my breath though; knowing our elected councillors I’ll bet only the outcome document will be released and nothing else. ‘Transparency’ in this Council refers merely to the ease with which the guiding motivations of the staff and councillors can be observed; it has nothing to do with openness.

– these papers are tailored for locals and the articles are irrelevant to anyone visiting from outside the shire.’ The producers are offering a 16 page weekly newspaper containing articles about ‘anything that is cool and NOW!’ and offering cheap advertising for businesses involved in the tourism market. While such a venture seems a harmless and inspired business idea, it could also be seen as another way of over-encouraging this already dominant aspect of tourism in our town. In the struggle to balance tourism with local needs it is important for business interests to respect the

core values of the town – the things that make it unique – and one way to do this is not to separate off sections of the tourist influx and set up an alternative perspective of the place as ‘party town central’. More and more backpackers will come and more businesses and buildings will be turned over to their entertainment as has happened so much in the past – remember when Cheeky Monkeys was Mexican Mick’s, a family restaurant, Cocomangas was a Flamenco bar and Liquid was Kyp’s bar and Indonesian restaurant? And of course rents will rise again, driving out local businesses.

Backpackers are here to stay and I don’t mean to disparage young international visitors, but maybe it would be good to integrate them more into the town (the story on page 11 in last week’s Echo about the Danish gap year students was a good example of integration). Many of the ‘irrelevant articles’ in The Echo are about important issues that affect the future of the town as a place of alternative, green and creative culture; way out ideals, maybe, but if new publications present the place as a young people’s party town, any respect for or even knowledge of these ideals will be lost.

Perhaps enterprising young writers who are thinking about submitting articles to the new publication can remind young people of these ideals and of the need not to trash the town. In fact perhaps it should be incumbent on the editors to include messages about respect for the local residents and the environment of the town. Chris Willmot

Bazza and Shazza Barry and Sharon and family have been selling fruit and veg (often locally grown) and other delicacies (go the choco-

late coated strawberries!) for around ten years from a fairly makeshift premises outside the caravan park on Broken Head Road, opposite the golf club. During my seven years living here we have enjoyed their personal friendly service. Unfortunately, they were very limited by rules and regulations, regarding parking and signage and had no ability to expand. Shaz and Baz finally took the big yet exciting step to move to a premises of their own in Beech Road, Baywood Chase, knowing that their regulars would follow and spread the word. So it was with amazement as I was driving home a

A simpler, fairer tax system. A stronger economy for everyone.

The world is changing. For our economy to remain strong for the years ahead, we need our tax system to change with it. Planning now for an ageing population by lifting the amount of super we all have will help all Australians to have a secure retirement. Cutting tax and paperwork will help small businesses grow and prosper, also contributing to our economic security. And making sure all Australians share the wealth of our natural resources will allow us to build the foundations for a stronger future. Making tax simpler and fairer now will help make our economy stronger in the long run. Tax reform affects all of us, so it’s important to know what’s on the table.

Punishing siege Israel claims it cannot break the siege of Gaza because of the threat to its security from Iranian weapons getting to Hamas. Why can’t it adopt the same security it currently uses at its ports and airports? It doesn’t shut down Tel Aviv international airport because of this threat but applies the same precautions as every other country. No, the siege of 1.5 million people is an act of collective punishment illegal under international law, it has nothing to do with Israel’s security. Gareth W R Smith & Maxine Caron

Splendid I write in support of the North Byron Shire Parklands proposal for the Yelgun site and welcome the prospect of a wellmanaged, world-class event site in our region. I have participated in tree planting on the site and studied the proposals for its environmental management. Given the history of the land use the proposal for the site is without doubt the best option to restore and expand biodiversity, in what is mainly degraded pastureland, including the gifting of significant land to National Parks and a 31% increase in native tree vegetation. The site proposal is well worth reading, the opposing document from CONOS deals with ‘likely impacts’ based on speculation, not hard facts. For many years I have heard claims that loud music events harm wildlife – I have encountered no evidence to support that view. Colonies of microbats, koala colonies and owl populations are still breeding in locations where weekend long ‘doof ’ festivals have infrequently been held. What I do know to be true is the massive destruction of habitat and biodiversity caused by human settlement. No-one is suggesting we bulldoze houses to expand the Billinudgel Nature Reserve, but we would prefer to see a tired cattle farm evolve into a well managed, re-afforested bio-diverse environment. Personally, I look forward to the possibility of organising small scale community fundraising events on this site and encourage wider support for the realistic development of this valuable community asset.

Protecting women giving birth Eve Jeffery

Imagine labouring to death? Actually don’t. As a woman, the idea is enough to send me into a panic attack. Unfortunately around 500,000 women die of pregnancy and childbirth related causes each year. Only one per cent of those women live in the ‘developed’ world – a statistic that highlights the fact that most of these deaths are preventable. Padi Ologo is a Traditional Birth Attendant (TBA) in a remote community called Sra, about 60km north west of the Republic of Ghana’s capital Accra. The community is one of the minority tribal groups in Ghana. They are extremely poor, landless peasants and have settled on the current site by consent of the dominant Gan tribe. In a small room off the side of his house, Padi has been assisting to birth about 100 women a year, but his facility is not equipped for extreme emergencies. The local hospital in Suhum is 12km away and only accessible by 4 wheel drive in the wet season – several women every year labour to death because they can’t get to the hospital. About three years ago, Padi’s son Michael found Byron Shire hospital based midwife Karan Morrisey after Googling Traditional Birth Attendant. He found an article she had written and contacted her with a plea for help. ‘Michael and I began to put a project proposal together and approached some non government organisations,’ says Karan. ‘The proposal was for a 16 bed traditional birth centre including a sexual health clinic, small outpatients clinic, solar power, equipment and training and a 4 wheel drive, it added up to more that USD$290,000.’ The aid organisation International Needs Australia (INA), which had shown interest and support in the project, initially

declined the proposal as way too big for them and, discouraged, Michael and Karan went back to the drawing board and cut the project to the bare minimum. They broke it into small prioritised steps, with the hope of finding money one step at a time. After the redraft of the plan INA stepped back into a more manageable picture. ‘I was thrilled when I found out that the CEO of INA was planning to visit the project in 2009, when he was doing INA’s annual trip to their only project in Ghana, which happened to be within a day’s travel of Sra.’ After INA visited Sra, they were keen to support the project and applied to Ausaid for funding. ‘I can’t tell you how excited I was to be told that not only did IN Ghana agree to facilitate the project, but Ausaid approved funding and INA took the project on,’ says Karan. ‘Building began in December and I have recently been told the roof is on – I cried the first time I saw the photos.’ International Needs Australia will be handling the money and International Needs Ghana will be overseeing its purchase and maintenance. The current three year Ausaid approved

project will run in partnership with IN Australia, IN Ghana and the Sra community. They have funds set aside to cover petrol and maintenance for the three years of the project. After that the entire project, including running of the vehicle will be funded by a well planned community directed strategy of setting aside the proceeds of one in every 30kg of cocoa beans produced by the community and a similar arrangement with pigs and mangoes. Karan has helped achieve all of this and still not met a single person involved and she credits the internet for

ADagency

making it happen. ‘The time is so ripe for real poverty reduction with the Millennium Development goals guiding much western aid. We ordinary westerners have more power and voice than ever before in history. The internet is a very powerful tool.’ The one thing that the Sra community desperately needs is $23,400 to buy the four wheel drive to act as an ambulance. If you would like to make a donation, Karan has a blog: http:// savemotherssavebabies.blogspot.com. You can also donate through the Facebook page – Save Mothers Save Babies.

Walking for water Almost a billion people on the planet don’t have access to clean drinking water. About 2.6 billion lack basic sanitation. Women and female children spend several hours each day collecting water from distant, often polluted sources. On Sunday August 15 Mehil Beckerman and his team will stage the popular Mullumbimby Walk and Run event. Participants enter to run 10 kilometres or walk 8.4 kilometres on the day. This year Byron Shire Council has formed a partner-

ship with the event running a component called Walk for Water. Participants can also pledge to save water at home and or help others in need. The Walk for Water event has the support of Rous Water, Water Aid Australia and Smart Approved WaterMark. Water Aid Australia is an international charity dedicated to helping some of the world’s poorest people escape the stranglehold of poverty and disease caused by living without safe water and sanitation.

it is not a mainstream product. Again, it is the consumer power of parents that is required to enforce such changes. Small companies do not have the marketing budgets that disposable companies have so we have to vote with our dollar. We have a clear choice in what lifestyle and products we introduce to our children. In our shire, choosing sustainability is even easier with all the great community resources available. Council-inspired programs such as Sustainable Streets, free composting and recycling workshops, and the Byron Shire community garden based in Mullumbimby are inspiring hundreds of parents to start their own gardens. Building a garden not only produces food that saves money, but also engages our children and us in a fun pastime. The garden is the ultimate sustainable project for a family.

This is an extraordinary development. Mainstream companies embracing this should be applauded and supported by us as consumers.

Nappy management Nappies are a regular necessity for babies. Cloth nappies save parents thousands of dollars and can be washed efficiently in eco-friendly detergents that are suitable as grey water on our gardens. Cloth nappies allow you to control your waste. They are as convenient as disposable nappies, they just get bad press until parents try them and discover they are quite easy to manage. There is one compostable disposable nappy on the Australian market but it is not widely known. Residents of Lismore can even have them commercially composted but few parents know about this, as

APOLOGY

Ellen Briggs would like to offer a sincere apology to both the Mullumbimby RSL Club and Mark Thomas of Mullumbimby Hire & Sales for leaving them out of our thank-you note in last week’s edition. The RSL provided the fabulous venue for the Garady Fundraiser and Mark donated balloons which made the place look a million bucks!

Ellen is a comedian and does not have excellent attention to detail at the best of times, let alone after the huge night that it was. Next time we will just leave her to do the funny stuff.

Organic food Babies can be fed organically grown mashed food. Toddlers grow into teenagers who think it normal to grow your own food. Water, food, composting and recycling is all learnt when growing a garden. It’s free, it’s fun and it’s educational; and importantly, it is normalising children’s perceptions of how to live. Farmers markets provide a variety of nutrient rich fresh foods that we may not grow ourselves. The simple political act of shopping there allows our children get to meet the growers and understand the place of food in our sustainable life cycle. It takes a community to raise a child and I’m proud to live in a shire that continually offers sustainable lifestyle options and activities for children. But it’s still up to us as individuals to embrace them and normalize them in our lifestyles. Build a garden. Learn to recycle properly. Attend a compost workshop. Turn up to a Clean and Green cleanup day. Visit the toy library or op shop for new toys. Use a library for books. Share childcare with a neighbour. Have a community dinner once a month in your street. Build a community garden if you don’t have the time or space for one. Join your local landcare group. Shop at farmers markets. Support local business. Support eco minded business. Volunteer. Install a water tank. Get a free home sustainability assessment. These are some of the great ways you can ensure you and your children participate in sustainable parenting.

Family discovers life without gadgets The Winter of our Disconnect by Susan Maushart (Bantam RRP $34.95) Lucy Clark

At the water cooler. At the school gate. At the Parents-ofTeenagers Anonymous meetings, one of the biggest issues in the 21st Century is negotiating cyber-space. Negotiating time spent there, worrying about what dangers lurk there, wondering how it actually works (for the Luddites among us) and deciding whether its effects are good, bad, or indifferent – these things are a constant cause for concern. A very funny and thoughtprovoking new book by columnist Susan Maushart is the story of how one family came to grips with the electronic media’s intrusion on family life … by banning it completely. ‘Over a period of years,’ writes Maushart, ‘I watched and worried as our media began to function as a force field separating my children from what my son, only half-ironically, called RL (Real Life).’ So In The Winter Of Our Disconnect (Bantam, $34.95) the mother of three teenagers bravely pulls the plug on computers, IPods, mobile phones, and televisions, and enters a six-month period of screen-

Writer and humorist Susan Maushart.

free time known as The Experiment. ‘The Winter of Our Disconnect started out as a kind of purge. It ended up as so much more… It changed the way we ate and the way we slept, the way we fought, planned and played… In the end, our family’s self-imposed exile from the Information Age changed our lives indelibly – and infinitely for the better.’ Maushart, no Luddite herself (she admits to sleeping with her iPhone), says her three children, aged 18, 15, and 14, inhabited media ‘ex-

actly as fish inhabited a pond – gracefully, unblinkingly and utterly without knowledge of the alternatives.’ Taking as her inspiration one of her favourite books, Walden by Henry Thoreau, in which the author explores the benefits of a simplified lifestyle by removing himself from society and living for a time in a cabin in the woods, Maushart enters the digital wilderness not so much as a nostalgic celebration of some golden age, or because she believes in the healing power of deprivation. Put simply: ‘I was worried

about my kids. About how they were using their time, and their space, and their minds.’ And The Experiment makes for a great book. The author admits it’s a stunt, but it’s an illuminating one, as Maushart tracks the family’s progress, from making the announcement to her horrified teenagers, through the six months of it, to the outcomes, and how they were transformed as a family unit. On the way she explores the latest research on modern media, delves into the way Digital Natives think, quoting new studies and reflecting them through her unique – and very entertaining – prism. Maushart’s greatest and most amusing skill is her plumbing of the generation gap for comic value – the way she portrays these strange creatures that are her children with insight, humour, and always, love. There are many genuine LOL moments (particularly due to Maushart’s judicious usage of ‘LOL’ and other teenageisms) and ultimately, despite the extreme nature of the experiment, there is sense and balance. This is a warm, intelligent and instructive book about understanding the things that have changed the way we live now, and treasuring those important things that never change.

Opportunities for new and emerging writers This year’s Byron Bay Writers Festival is awash with opportunities for new and emerging writers: a story competition for young writers and pitching sessions with publishers will culminate over the Festival weekend and one-on-one manuscript consultations with industry professionals will be available throughout the Festival week. Writer development coordinator at the Northern Rivers Writers’ Centre, Susie Warrick, is delighted that the Festival now offers opportunities for unpublished local writers to strut their stuff. ‘Dozens of key publishers and literary agents descend on Byron Bay for the Festival and it makes perfect sense to capitalise on this, and provide a forum for our writers,’ said Susie. ‘The Festival’s popular pitching sessions are now in their third year and already a standing-room-only event. The pitching process is a valuable learning experience for new writers, with the chance of rich rewards. ‘We encourage everyone who is able to take up the challenge and join in the fun by putting their manuscript and their body on the line. Everyone selected to pitch will be assured of a supportive and enthusiastic local audience and wild applause.’ www.echo.net.au

Also appearing on the Festival program will be the young writer aged 16-25 yrs who wins this year’s Heading North short story competition. Prizemoney is valued at $1,100 and the competition winner, announced in a special session at the Festival, will join four young lions of literature for a lively panel discussion.

After the Festival, in consultation with the Writers’ Centre, the winner will develop a program that best expends the prizemoney in support of their writing. Anyone aged 16-26 yrs who loves to write, or dreams of becoming a writer, should start working on a story for this competition right now. The

deadline for Pitch Perfect 2010 and the Heading North Young Writer Story Competition is Friday June 18. Application forms are available from the Northern Rivers Writers’ Centre or can be downloaded at www.nrwc.org. au/v1/index.php. For more info call Susie on 6685 5115 or email susie@nrwc.org.au.

Rous Water The Rous Water Blue & Green Business Program provides funding to businesses and other nonresidential water customers that reduce their consumption of town water or Änd ways to use water more efÄciently.

Since July last year, many businesses and schools have participated in the funding program. The overall water saving from these projects is estimated to be 14.5 megalitres (millions of litres) per year. This saving is equivalent to the annual water use of about 70 households, so the potential gains are signiÄcant.

To participate in the program and take advantage of the funding available, those interested should Under the program, projects are eligible to receive a rebate of up to 50% of the cost of the works carried out contact Rous Water on (02) 6621 8055 or email water@rouswater.nsw.gov.au to save water, with a maximum set at $350 for every 100,000 litres reduction per year. This is calculated pro rata based on the reduction in water use achieved after one year. For example, for a project that reduces the demand on town water by 1 megalitre (1 million litres) per year, Rous Water would provide funding assistance of 50% of the capital cost of the scheme or $3,500, Income from solar electricity may not affect social whichever amount is lower. security beneÄts like the pension as dramatically as Ärst Eligible projects can be as simple as replacing old thought. toilets with new dual Åush models or more complicated The Federal Government has ruled that solar income such as water recycling schemes.

Solar still pays for Pensioners

Making ‘Little’ Efforts It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope; and crossing each other from a million different centres of energy and daring, those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance. Robert F. Kennedy, Make Gentle the Life of This World, The Vision of Robert F. Kennedy

MAKE MONEY OFF YOUR ROOF WITH SOLAR

Solar electricity is now a sound financial investment as well as an investment in the future of our planet thanks to a number of fantastic incentives. The new solar electricity rebate or “Solar Credits Scheme” is now open to everyone including businesses. It represents thousands of dollars towards the initial cost of your system which SolarSwitch offers as a generous point of sale discount. If you are approved for the previous $8000 Federal Government rebate SolarSwitch can install your system prior to rebate expiry, please visit our website for more information. NSW now also has the most generous solar buyback scheme in the country. Anyone with a solar electricity system under 10kW will get paid at least 60c per kilowatt hour, almost four times the retail rate, for all the electricity their panels generate. For example someone with an average 1.5kW home solar electricity system would get credited $1300 - $1500 per year for the electricity their system produces. This means your investment pays for itself in less than four years and then makes you thousands of dollars over the next 20 plus years. The

scheme will be reviewed by the State Government after the first 50 Megawatts are installed in NSW or July 2012, whichever comes first, so now is the perfect time to install solar to take maximum advantage of this generous incentive. As this is a 25 year investment in your home or business it is important to buy quality equipment backed by a reputable multi-national company with offices in Australia, so the warranty is held here. Also ensure your system is installed by a qualified Clean Energy Council accredited electrician, and they are on site the entire time. Having installed over 2500 solar electricity systems in NSW SolarSwitch has the knowledge, expertise and dedicated staff to carry out your installation in a timely and professional manner. “We pride ourselves on installing quality equipment sourced from reputable manufacturers that will be around to honour your 25 year manufacturer’s warranty… this is a lifetime investment after all” said Adam Tesoriero, Director of SolarSwitch.

Carmella Baynie is delighted to be coming back to Byron Bay accompanied by the Bhakti Raga Ensemble, a popular classical Indian, folk, roots and fusion band. Carmella, acclaimed for the beauty and purity of her chanting, has just released her new album, Darshan, an enchanting collection of new meditation

music. She spoke with The Echo about her upcoming show. So, since you were last here? I recorded a new CD entitled Darshan. Sang with Dave Stringer on his recent Australian tour and recently had a tour of the US performing with US chant master Dave Stringer, Gaura Vani and others, holding

Tree‌ Chant concerts on four stages 24/7 with performers such as Deva Premal and Miten, Krishna Das, Wa, Dave Stringer, Gaura Vani, Bhagavan Das, Karnamrita Dasi etc etc. I returned completely inspired about the growth of this music in the States Why do you think devotional music has become a bit of a growth area? Because people get such a buzz out of it, for so many reasons, it’s participatory, so everyone gets involved. It can be mellow, deep and meditative or it can really raise the roof. Traditional Kirtan can sometimes get so high voltage that you can be forgiven for thinking you are at a rock concert! There is also something very powerful about singing together in a group, or congregation, that raises the vibration! It is said that when people sing a chorus of a song together, that serotonin levels actually raise! What to speak of singing in a language where the Sacred within and without is honoured. What makes music ‘devotional’? When it’s offered up as a prayer, a call, or a cry to the universe, or the Divine, or God. This is where it becomes a meditation. When all you carry, your load – is offered up with that higher power in ‘mind’. Think Gospel music‌ concerts, Voice in Yoga workshops and playing ragas Have you changed how for yoga classes sometimes you use your voice over the fetching upwards of 100 people years? per class. I sang for a concert I have studied Eastern classical in San Diego called pre -Bhakti for over a decade now and fest‌ in preparation for a four I think what has changed is day festival in September with that my singing has a higher chant masters from all over the purpose. I’m no longer world coming together in the concerned with pop charts Californian desert at Joshua or record company advances

or catering to a market that chews you up and spits you out. But singing just for the sheer beauty and purity of the music and moreover, the intention behind the music – to uplift, to raise consciousness, to inspire, to give thanks, to bring us closer to our authentic self – our spiritual nature, to empower others to sing. It’s what I call ‘very useful music!’ Do you ever think you’ll go back to being more of a singer/songwriter, or do you see both paths meeting up? It’s funny, they have come together to a certain degree, I compose the music to my chants most of the time. I sometimes write related songs in English if I feel inspired, and am not adverse to scoring out the odd anthemic pop song every now and then. I think it’s good to stay open to the creative process and all its twists and turns‌ you never know where it may end up. What should we expect for your gig in Byron? I’ll be performing songs from Darshan which has just gained distribution in the United States; we have a beautiful lineup. The Bhakti Raga Ensemble with Nila Hagglund on tabla, Harry O’Donovan on sitar, banjo, guitar, with some local talent – Anando Bharti on Dilruba, from our old Byron band Viva La Bimba.

The dozers are rolling into town. Woolworths has won. Turns out, that unlike the Bible story, this supermarket Goliath couldn’t be brought Mandy Nolan down by the stoned. The state government has offered up Mullumbimby as the reluctant bride in an arranged marriage to be right royally buggered by the Fresh Food People. Our organic small town cherry is just another multi-national’s pavlova topper, another town’s hymen which needed to be broken so the mega profit making machines that drive economy could park their fat arses in our town. SoapBox Post Script: Driving past the supermarket I just wanted to thank all the site today this huge wave of readers who’ve gone out of sadness swept over me as I their way letting me know realised that it didn’t matter. All how much they love reading the opposition, the petitions, Soapbox.

on the radar. Big business has learnt to use words like ‘community’ but basically they’re just buzzwords used for marketing spin. Mullumbimby has been a difficult project for the supermarket chain from a PR point of view, but they never intended to retreat. From the beginning they had won. We are just ants on the bottom of Mr Woolworth’s shoe. They are the modern day missionaries. Corporate cowboys. If we’re lucky we might even be able to buy chicken pox blankets at half their usual price. It’s deflating to think that a town is no longer able to determine its own future when big business is at play. It’s not just about groceries, it’s about spirit.

Kids of 88 Kids of 88 twosome describe their music as a ‘whimful combination of dirt spitting kicks and feathering grit. An overdose of nightlife; the lubricated moan of spilt vodka. The hard realization of concrete and the happiness of blurry vision. An alleyway gangbang between Grandmaster Flash and The Knack.’ Arts and McCarthy respect bands that combine humanity and technology. They are also partial to a bit of blood, some sweat, and musical instrument collisions. ‘We told ourselves that we never wanted to repeat what we were doing. We’ll be into filling up the song notches on the album, but on top of that we’re just heavily focused on spreading the word and expanding ourselves; creatively and nutritionally.’ Sunday at the Hotel Great Northern.

Tribute to Hector and Shawn Recently the Byron Shire lost two of its well loved musos: Hector Santiago and Shawn Williams. The Byron Theatre in conjunction with local musicians are staging a very special musical event on Sunday. The event will be kicking off from 3.30pm at the

The show inside the theatre will start at 5pm with a lineup that includes the Blackbirds, Tommee, Copal, Jimmy & Jonny B Goode with more to be announced. Dance music kicks off at 10pm.

I’d be tempted to give up entirely, if I wasn’t inspired by David Bradbury’s letter to the Editor last week calling people to action for one last hurrah. (Bradbury – one of the last of a dying breed of hippie who haven't lost their fervour for grassroots political action or their zeal for humanity.) So I also encourage you, my dear reader, to participate in some sort of non-violent action. Remember back to that time when you thought that people could not just change themselves, but they could change their environment, and I’m not talking about a trip to IKEA. Show your children that you’re powerful, that you are prepared to make a stand, even if you’re a middle class yoga instructor and all you can manage is salute to the sun with a headstand. Woolies is a

malignant franchise cancer that thrives by killing independent operators. The people who stand behind the counters in our butchers, our grocers, our chemist, our healthfood shops are all shareholders in our community, it’s their livelihood that will be most affected by the introduction of Woolworthlessness. Our buskers might improve. There might be more parking and even cheaper groceries. But our town will lose the buzz that Mullumbimby is famed for. We’ll be another country town where Woolies has conquered, a lonely main street full of empty shops. A dying town with a heart bypass. So time to do what we always do around here when something gives us the shits and we have no control. Nude up. Let’s all crack a down face dog and give Woolies the arse.

their town. Their battle was more organised than ours. Their troops more cohesive. They still lost. Relationships were fractured, and the magic of the town never quite returned. The same will happen here. It’s a spirit crusher, a reminder that people power is dead, that it’s profits not vision, that drives this thing so loosely called progress. It doesn’t matter if people don’t shop there in the first year, or the second, or even five years. Ten years down the track, or even twenty, all squabbles are forgotten when you can get a 20 pack of loo paper for just $5. We’ll all be lining up in their capitalist temple remarking how it’s unbelievable to think that there was once a time when people had fought it. A Mullum without Woolies, that’s like Ocean Shores without BiLo, Tweed without a mall.

Jaggarizzer (PNG), Jamie Lee (PNG), Elephant Wise (Bris) and Raz Bin Sam will be all onstage at one time with Major Krazy (Melb) selecting the instrumental tracks and controlling the flow of the set. With so many different styles of vocal throughout the night, there is a vast array of textures as each vocalist brings their own flavour to the show. From the smooth and silky to the ruff and rugged delivered over beats to make you shake, shuffle and move you feet.

The Perfect Stoke Tim Stokes has been busy spreading his blues grooves over the last six months, since flipping from local chef to full time musician. Having sung his way from Airlie Beach to Sydney, playing festivals, pubs and markets, he is always grateful to be locking in quality time in one of his favourite north coast venues. Come feel the heart and soul of Tim Stoke's music, before he leaves for another string of shows in Sydney, Port Macquarie, Coffs, Yamba, Chindera and Brisbane. Wednesday at the Rails.

Pulling Strings Wild Strings is a musical meeting of two exciting fiddle players, Cleis Pearce and Laura Targett. Together they ride a journey that celebrates inspired string music from the heart and from around the world. They have a unique sound, combining swinging rhythmic fiddling and sublime improvisation with harmonising vocals. Their inspirations are wide and deep, from the dance music of Ireland to folk tunes of India with stops in Romania and the Middle East, and from ancient places to contemporary Australia, borrowing tunes with love and respect for tradition. On stage, they present a show of unaccompanied fiddle virtuosity, with dynamic use of live effects and loops. They recently released their selfnamed debut album, featuring eclectic melodies and original compositions. Wild Strings play the Chameleon Café Friday 7.30pm.

Big Bad Barwick Barwick are a two piece band consisting of Matt on vocal and Jeff on drums. These Melbourne lads have

left the breezy city and taken up residence here in the Bay. They are seasoned musos with several EPs between them and recently they teamed up with producer Stuart Stuart from (Wagga Wagga?) of Veronicas fame to record Burning Fire and The Only One. They perform at the Lennox Pub on Sunday at 4pm.

Warm Your Voices It’s time for the winter Acappella concert again, when six delightful local choirs will come together to warm you with mellifluous harmonies.

Pregnant Speaker With three expectant fathers in their six member lineup Mr Speaker are laying claim to the title of ‘Most Virile Band in the Northern Rivers’. They do have other claims to fame as well however, not least of which is their rare style of swing and funk music that sees people cast aside previous conceptions of the genres and embrace the new sound with both feet. With a swag of new tunes and a CD release just around the corner, they’re in the mood to heat up the coldest of winter nights. Mr Speaker are appearing at The Rails in Byron from 6.30pm Friday.

Yes we do, godammit! Amidst recent talk of guitar heroes, the Mullumbimby Jam Night proudly presents the local daddy of them all, the internationally acclaimed Mr Geoff Wright, this Thursday. Those who know Geoff don’t need any preachin’. Those who don’t, well…, Geoff’s played with Tina Turner, Procul Harum, Robben Ford, JJ Cale, Max Merritt, Joe Camillieri and the list goes on – he is the real deal, banana peel, big dollars, no whammies. Well, there may be whammies and we won’t pay him much but don’t miss Geoff doin’ his thang along with the Mullum Jam Band and unusual suspects at the Mullum Ex-Services this (and every) Thursday from 7.30pm.

cCULTUREd Opportunity Knocks Zen Ocean and Jordy Turner are two Mullum boys heading off to follow their dreams. Both boys are kids of single mums who have been accepted into performing art schools in Sydney and USA. To raise some funds so the kids can afford to leave their little ponds, some of the bigger fish in the community have banded together for a fundraiser entitled ‘Golden Opportunities’. I was the child of a single mum and when I was selected to play basketball for at the National Championships my mum couldn’t afford to send me. All the old ladies in my town had a massive bake off, and I was sent to Perth on the back of a lamington. They even gave me spending money. I’d never had my own money before and felt so guilty spending it I only blew $20. What I remember now, and what has stayed with me, is not so much the experience of the event, but the fact that my country town got behind my family and helped me. As a child of a single parent, you often feel different to the kids of two parent families. It was a key moment in making me feel valued and important. So as a community, we have a chance to take on a ‘parental’ role and assist these two kids to achieve their goals. Joel Salom will MC the Saturday evening cabaret/ fundraiser at the Mullum Civic Hall on Saturday evening with art work by John Dahlsen and myself up for auction. There are performances by Ross & Tennyson Nobel, Sussana Carman, Bunna Lawrie, Ray Arthur, Piper Packshaw, Cole Knazovicky and of course, the two stars, Jordy & Zen. Kicking

off at 7pm with Ragga Jump playing from 9.30pm.

The Stitch N Style Fashionistas will be showcasing their diverse and creative designs, for public viewing this Thursday at the Byron YAC.

International Comic to Gig for Free British standup comedian fell in love with an Aussie girl, married her and then decided to call Australia home. It was their loss, because Green is an exceptional talent, a frequent at festivals in the UK and in London’s West End. His first solo tour in the UK sold out every show and was broadcast on ITV network. Coming out of the politically correct alternative comedy scene of the 80’s with its strict rules on sexism and racism, he was the first of the modern UK comics to write and perform relationship/girlfriend material. Headline performer for Melbourne Comedy Festival and comedy festivals around the globe, Green makes a very special appearance at Ballina RSL’s Big Gig on Thursday June 24 with me as MC and Julia Wilson as support. Kicks off at 8pm and is free, which is extraordinary!

Awesome Comedy!!!!

Director Fatih Akin’s latest award-winning film, Soul Kitchen, is a big move away from his previous serious works, Head-On and The Edge of Heaven. This chaotic comedy is about the best things in life: food, music, sex and people having a good time. Zinos and his unreliable brother, Illias, run a restaurant in a run-down area of Hamburg. Zinos has ambitions for his establishment but shady characters have targeted the area for redevelopment. When top chef Shayn unexpectedly becomes available, Zinos hires him and after a shaky start the restaurant takes off, becoming not just THE place to be, but the soul of the local community. Filled with laughs, funky music and zany characters who love life, Soul Kitchen will have you dancing in your seat. Rating MA15+. In German and Greek with English subtitles. Saturday and Sunday at Drill Hall, Mullumbimby. 7.30pm Big

Screen Film 6.30pm.Delicious home-cooked dinner and desserts. Tickets $12 at Mullumbimby Bookshop. Contact: Mullum Flicks at 6687 4424.

cCINEMAREVIEWSd The A Team Have you seen that ad where the dove is rescued from a near-death experience by a bloke who takes it home, nurses and nourishes it, then releases it only for the bird to fly straight into a brick wall? That’s a bit like what happened to me last week. There I was, sitting with the red-faced monkeys of Arashyama, admiring the view of Kyoto and blessing my good fortune for dodging the bullet that resulted in luckless Shred Potomac having to fill in for me at Sex And The City 2. Little did I know that, fate being the trickster that it is, upon resuming my film reviewing duties in Oz I would immediately have to cope with this bilge. It’s inspired by an early eighties TV series, which I never watched, preferring instead the shonky dealings of Terry and Arfa in Minder. The show was made famous by

Mister T, a huge black guy with a Mohawk. Baracus (Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson) is the new incarnation. His buddies are main-man Smith (Liam Neeson), Face (Bradley Cooper, whose head will soon only fit I-Max) and goofy Murdock (Sharlto Copley). Playing a Canadian, South African Copley provides a rare light-hearted moment when, quizzed by an African-American immigration officer, he surprises everybody by speaking Swahili. The part of Charisa, the ballsy army officer who is, I’d guess, more seductive than your average dame in the US Military, has gone to Jessica Biel – like Jake Gyllenhaal in Prince Of Persia, she has clearly put her art on hold in favour of the big money of the multiplex blockbuster. The baddies are the CIA (again) and the plot revolves around getting possession of the counterfeit money plates that came to light after the fall of

This event is in aid of victims of the recent earthquake in Kyegundo, eastern Tibet, where thousands of Tibetans are now homeless and face freezing temperatures without protection, food, water and adequate sanitation

facilities. The Sun Behind the Clouds explores the interplay between the personal and the historic, spirituality and politics. The Tibetan filmmakers had intimate access to the Dalai Lama over the course of a year that included the 2008 protests in Tibet, the international response to it,

the Beijing Olympics, and the breakdown in talks between his representatives and the Chinese government. The night will kick off at 7pm with a musical offering from Tibetan musician, Tenzin Choegyal. Tickets are $15 and can be prepurchased or paid for on the night at the Dendy cinema.

Baghdad and are now, if in the wrong hands, a threat to the free world. Lucky we’ve got such tough dudes on the case, huh? In Kyoto, I also visited its Manga museum, housed in an old school within easy walking distance of the popular Gion district. It was a revelation, for I’d not fully realized before the profound influence that Manga artists have had on the visual style of action flicks such as this, especially with the current obsession with CGI, which is fast becoming to thoughtful cinema what ebola is to the intestine – many Manga strips are pre-fab storyboards waiting to be transferred to the screen. Meanwhile, I note that there is a steady turnover

MICK DALEY

JEFF GREEN

The first Lesbian Film Night kicks off at the Drill Hall on Friday with a screening of Hannah Free. Hannah and Rachel grew up as little girls in the same small Midwest town, where traditional gender expectations eventually challenge their deep love for one another. Hannah becomes an adventurous, unapologetic

lesbian and Rachel a strong but quiet homemaker. Weaving back and forth between past and present, the film reveals how the women maintained their love affair despite a marriage, a world war, infidelities, and family denial. Hot food and drinks available – all proceeds to Hands With Hands. $12 from 6.30pm.

Going Inland

It’s been three years in the making, but it’s finally here. Mick Daley and his mates from the Re-Mains dust the road from their new album Inland Sea being launched at Federal Hall on Friday. With two trips to Canada in a gigantic Chevy van with no exhaust, an accident in the Northern Territory that nearly killed them, the inclusion on a Rolling Stone CD on which theirs was the only track that somehow horribly glitched and the $37,000 seven year Austrade grant that saved their arses and paid for the new album, The Re-Mains are philosophical and committed to doing the long haul. Mick Daley spoke with The Echo. So why Canada? ‘I wanted to get overseas to the bigger markets and we got the best reaction in Canada. We got the Austrade grant so on the strength of that we flew to Canada and we got accepted in North X North West in Vancouver. We landed with no money, it was very scary, but we had enough to buy a van… it could have all gone wrong.’ With a serious road accident under their belt the band know just how wrong it can go. If the van had broken down out in the Rockies the boys would have had to get jobs rustling cattle and changing tyres. There was no room for error in their road trip.

Luckily, it turned out to be great, we scored an old Chevy van called Curtis. Our luck definitely changed in Canada and we ended up playing every second day. We had 40 gigs booked and we ended up performing 64 gigs over 18,000 kilometres.’ The Re-Mains found the Canadian music scene more open to accepting and promoting their particular brand of alt-country. ‘Canada has a really different culture to Australia. It’s steeped in folk music, they grow up learning an instrument. The festivals over there are like Woodford at its best, particularly alt country, Australia hasn’t cottoned onto it yet.’ Even for a band that’s been around the traps it can still be a bit of a struggle. ‘Australia is tough. I have considered not bothering in this country several times – we are really well received in Melbourne – it’s the last bastion for our kind of music. We have a strong following in Darwin as well and get played on the ABC a lot. The dream is you want to get out and play all these remote country gig but you get there and they say, go on, play Barnesy.’ The new album is a post-country rock’n’roll postmortem that sounds like a glorious salute to the Inland Sea, that secret,

mythical place inside of us that we’re all looking for, recorded and produced by Christian Pyle at his Goonengerry studio. ‘We started working on it before we went to Canada, it’s been three years in the making, we had the first few tracks down, and then we kept working on it slowly. We actually had an edition to take to Canada, we sold it and played it there, but it was done in a rush and I think there were some wrong song choices. We had the bed tracks down and re-recorded and re-mixed it – if we had released it as it was I don’t think I would have been happy with it – in this game you are only as good as your last record!’ This one is good. Really good. With tracks like Tequila and Methadone about living next door to some real nice old time Lismore junkies and Darn Tootin’ in Saskatchewan – a tribute to an unforgettable night. ‘You don’t live until you’ve been on the side of a big campfire, off your face on mushrooms, playing folk music with bears in the background…’ The Re-Mains launch Inland Sea on Friday at Federal Hall supported by Christian Pyle’s solo band and Till the Cops Come. Kicking off at 6pm so people with kids can come. All welcome. $12

I am planning a forum on renewable energy to be held in Bangalow on Sunday morning 1st August 2010. The aim of the forum is to inform the local community of the various forms of alternative energy technology that are currently available, to encourage people to explore the options and to provide international comparisons on the take up of renewable energy options. The forum will run from 9.30am until 1pm on Sunday 1st August at the Bangalow A&I Hall. Everyone is welcome, with a gold coin donation at the door to cover hall costs.

Tornado hits Lennox Head

On the morning of Thursday the 3 June at 7.30am a tornado hit Lennox Head. Twelve houses were demolished and approximately 30 homes had major roof damage. Trees were uprooted and vehicles smashed. Fortunately no lives were lost but six people were injured. Within hours of the disaster, the NSW Minister for Emergency Services and I left Parliament and we were met by Ballina Shire Mayor Phil Silver. After lobbying for a natural disaster declaration, the Premier made the declaration on Friday morning. This declaration allowed a much faster clean up to occur because of State Government financial assistance. An important consideration was the fast removal of debris, some of which contained asbestos. The asbestos was regarded as safe while it was wet but authorities warned it could pose health problems for the local community when it dried and became powdery. My thoughts are with those who lost their homes and suffered property damage. Special mention of the wonderful work done by the SES, Police, Ambulance, the Rural Fire Service, the Fire Brigade, Ballina Shire Council and all volunteers who assisted, must be made. Country Energy also worked hard to restore power as quickly as possible. I also congratulate the local Lennox Head community on their concern and support for each other. It was most uplifting to see the way the community came g together to assist each other at a veryy difficult time.

Alstonville bypass update The bypass is expected to be completed in late 2010, but this is of course dependent on the weather. The removal of vegetation to make way for the bypass has been finished, and suitable species have been mulched and stockpiled for on-site landscaping. More than 300,000m3 of soil has been excavated for the bypass and by the time the project is completed some 16,000m3 of rock will have been blasted and reused in the base of the cuttings. The Federal Government has committed $102 million to the project. The 6.2-kilometre bypass will start at Sneath’s Road at Wollongbar and rejoin the highway near the Tropical Fruit Research Station at Perry’s Hill. If you have any enquiries about the construction of the bypass call the project team on 1800 074 588.

Thrills and spills at Billy Cart derby

Congratulations to the village of Bangalow for once again hosting one of our favourite events of the year, the Billy Cart Derby. It’s a great day for the community and visitors to revel in good, old-fashioned fun, away from the television and computer. There were all sorts of billy cart contraptions, some fast, some slow and some needing a few modifications to handle the “speed wobbles”. The look on children’s faces as they flew down the hill was priceless and many adults also enjoyed returning to their childhood. The parade this year featured Indian dancers, vintage cars, the fire brigade, Lismore Pipe Band and many other local groups who put on quite a show. Thanks to all the volunteers who made this such a special day for Bangalow.

Ballina bypass update The final design of the Teven Road Gateway has been unveiled and work on the $640 million Ballina bypass is on track. The section of the bypass from Cumbalum to Ross Lane is scheduled to be completed by late 2010. The southern part of the bypass from Cumbalum to the intersection of the Pacific and Bruxner Highways is expected to open in mid-2012. The total length of the Bypass is 11.5 kilometres.

Tintenbar to Ewingsdale Pacific Highway upgrade Planning for the Tintenbar to Ewingsdale upgrade of the Pacific Highway continues with preconstruction activities underway. These include field investigations, property acquisitions and the start of the tender process. I presented a petition containing more than 1,000 signatures opposing the half interchange at Bangalow. For more details see my website, www.donpage.com.au. It is worth noting that in the Ballina electorate there is $1.5billion being spent to complete the Ballina Bypass, Alstonville Bypass and Tintenbar to Ewingsdale upgrade of the Pacific Highway. This will improve road safety, cut travel times and reduce green house gases.

Letters to Education Minister I recently met Jai Morcom’s father, Steve Drummond, in Sydney and organised for him to meet the NSW Education Minister Verity Firth. A part of my role as the Member for Ballina is to sometimes arrange meetings with Government ministers and Members of Parliament. Mr Drummond, whose son Jai died at Mullumbimby High School in 2009, delivered 1200 letters to the Education Minister. Mr Drummond is asking for a Coronial Inquiry into the death of his son.

Indian cycling team seeing the best of the electorate Given the density of population in India it’s no wonder the Indian cycling team came to Australia to prepare for the Commonwealth Games which will be held in Delhi in October this year. I had the pleasure of welcoming the team to the Ballina electorate after the cyclists decided to base themselves at Brunswick Heads and train in the Ballina and Tweed electorates. There is limited opportunity for these riders to compete in India so racing in this area was a great opportunity for them. Their road coach is former Australian Olympian, Graham Seers, who competed at the Moscow Olympics in 1980.

In my role as an MP I am often inspired by the passion and commitment of community groups. I think the Ballina High School P&C deserves a special mention. The work that the P&C has done to make the Ballina High School Marine Discovery Centre one of the best facilities of its type in Australia is nothing short of incredible. The Marine Discovery Centre is the only educational facility of its type in New South Wales and is a high profile showpiece for the Department of Education and Training. It delivers 78 educational programs to visiting students from preschool to university level as well as providing information for tourists, and education programs for service clubs and other community groups. Five years ago it was clear that the facility needed to be expanded and the Ballina High School’s P&C Association decided to embark on a five-year, three-stage project to build a dedicated Marine centre separate from school buildings. Gary Thomson, President Ballina High School P&C, Lynda Hourigan, Ballina Marine Discovery Centre Co-Ordinator with Don Page MP Stages one and two have been completed with the Federal Government contributing $229,000. The school community headed by the P&C Association has raised the balance of the cost – some $500,000. The P&C Association is now desperately trying to find $395,000 to complete stage three of the project. The NSW Government has been asked for a grant to complete stage three but Education Minister, Verity Firth, whilst acknowledging the efforts of the P&C, said the Government was currently not in a position to support the project. Coastal environments and waterways in NSW are under immense pressure. Education is the key to preserving and enhancing these environments and I hope the $395,000 can be sourced to allow the Marine Discovery Centre to be completed.

Power upgrade for Byron Bay CBD

NSW Environmental Trust Grants

Country Energy is spending $360,000 upgrading the power supply in Byron Bay’s Central Business District. The underground cable will go from the Great Northern Hotel in the main street to the Byron Bay hospital. I welcome this commitment from Country Energy because it will improve the reliability of supply.

Congratulations to the Big Scrub Rainforest Landcare Group and the Ballina Shire Council who are successful recipients in the NSW Environmental Trust Grants program. The Big Scrub Rainforest Landcare Group will receive $100,000 to control weeds that threaten the endangered lowland rainforest at 36 remnants of the Big Scrub. The Ballina Shire Council has been given $99,115 to regenerate and rehabilitate remnants of the Big Scrub at Killen Falls near Tintenbar, and Duck Creek at Alstonville. The NSW Environmental Trust was established to support exceptional environmental projects that do not receive funds from usual government sources. Funding to protect and rehabilitate the precious Big Scrub is a win for the environment and it is pleasing to see that conserving this precious habitat is a priority for the Big Scrub Rainforest Landcare Group and the Ballina Shire Council.

Fight Continues for Mobile Breast Screen Van

Protect iconic coastal Crown land from development

I continue to fight for the resumption of mobile breast screening services on the far north coast. I have given the NSW Government further petitions containing the signatures of an additional 1300 local people who want to see the mobile breast screening vans brought back to the Ballina and Byron areas. My office staff are consistently being contacted by people who can no longer get access to the mobile breast screen service. The NSW Government says these women can go to Lismore or Tweed Heads for breast screening services but many are telling me they are now foregoing mammograms because of a lack of transport, work and family commitments. The fact many women are not able to have regular mammograms is reducing their chances of an early diagnosis of breast cancer. Early diagnosis greatly increases a woman’s chance of survival. Statistics show one in eight Australian women will develop breast cancer.

I was surprised and concerned to hear the iconic coastal strip of Crown land south of Lennox Head was not given more protection from future development under the new Ballina Shire Draft LEP. The land is to the north and south of Pat Morton Lookout and east of the Coast road to Ballina. The draft LEP zones this land E2 which allows a raft of commercial activities including bed and breakfasts, caravan parks, dwelling houses, extractive industries, horticulture, forestry, helipads and many other activities with Council consent. With strong population growth predicted in future, Councils will be under pressure to allow coastal land to be developed. The State Labor Government has designed a ‘one size fits all’ LEP template across the State. This is ridiculous because land use in a central Sydney Council area is quite different from the north coast or Broken Hill. Clearly the State Government needs to allow more flexibility in developing LEP templates that better reflect local land use. Similarly they need to allow for more Environmental Zones so that Crown Reserves like the abovementioned one south of Lennox Head can be protected in perpetuity.

Love the low chill stonefruit

In this job I get to meet a lot of people and learn a lot of things. I was invited to open the Low Chill Stonefruit Conference in Ballina in late April and not only was it a pleasure to catch up with some old acquaintances, I also learnt a lot about the industry in the process. The low chill stonefruit industry is worth $50 million to the economy. In the Ballina electorate there are 18 growers who generate $10 million in sales every year. Some 150 delegates, including 40 growers from other states in Australia attended the conference to discuss important issues to the industry including: L %?<1B0A6<; 0<@A@ L ).?62A62@ A5.A .?2 :60?<096:.A2 @=206Ic L ;@20A .;1 16@2.@2 :.;.42:2;A I trust all the delegates enjoyed the time they spent in Ballina and I hope to see the industry continue to grow and flourish. After all I have a vested interest. I love local peaches and nectarines and have them on my locally produced muesli for breakfast whenever they are in season.

Harmony Day Thanks to the Byron Harmony team for organising Harmony Day 2010 at the Byron Bay Community Centre. It was great to see so many locals celebrating the cultural diversity of the Shire and enjoying a variety of different performances in the theatre. The message for this year’s Harmony Day was “Express Yourself”, promoting diversity in workplaces, schools and communities through action, performance, fashion and food.

Unveiling of St Andrews war memorial I was given the honour of unveiling a new war memorial at St Andrews nursing home. The memorial is dedicated to the men and women who served the nation and can be found at the entrance to the aged care facility. It was organised by the Ballina RSL Sub-Branch and funded by the Department of Veteran’s Affairs. Thanks to Pip Carter, CEO of St Andrews and his team for getting the funding and the Ballina Sub-branch for designing the memorial.

Get behind Ballina hockey complex

PET/CT scanner funding welcomed

As an avid sports fan I support the Ballina Hockey Club’s plans to develop a new hockey complex in Ballina. The hockey complex will include a new synthetic turf playing field, a clubhouse, grandstands, canteen, change rooms and toilet facilities. The project is expected to cost $1.1 million and the Ballina Hockey Club has raised almost half the money – an exceptional effort for a small community sports club. An extremely generous benefactor, who wishes to remain anonymous, has donated $250,000 that will be withdrawn if the project is not advanced by 30 June 2011. The Ballina Shire Council has also agreed to contribute $400,000. The Ballina Hockey Club has approached NSW Sport and Recreation for a $200,000 grant that would enable the project to be completed. This centre will bring enormous benefits to the entire north coast area. I have been lobbying the NSW Government to provide the balance of the funding to allow this project to proceed. It would be a terrible shame if we were to lose this $1.1 million project because the NSW Government could not find $200,000 to build the complex. This project is the result of an extraordinary commitment by the Ballina Hockey Club to generate and maintain interest and enthusiasm in the game on the far north coast of NSW. It will not only bring economic benefits to Ballina but it will also increase participation in hockey and other sports, encouraging people to be more physically active.

I welcome the news that a PET/CT (Positron Emission TomographyComputed Tomography) Scanner will be installed at the Lismore Base Hospital. This will be an enormous benefit and valuable resource for the community. We campaigned strongly for the PET/CT Scanner for this region for two years and this is a good example of bipartisan support by local members, both Federal and State, to get a positive outcome. It means people won’t have to travel to Brisbane or Sydney for this three-dimensional scanning technology which helps doctors more accurately diagnose and identify cancer, heart disease and brain disorders. The community raised $53,000 in a demonstration of its support for the project and I thank all those who contributed to the fund. About half this money came from people in the Ballina electorate. Cancer specialists on the far north coast believe one of these machines in our region will save countless lives. A typical PET/CT scan can take four to six hours to complete. The nearest scanner for Northern Rivers residents is in Brisbane. Patients requiring this type of scan are often very sick and in pain. Significantly cutting the travelling time for a patient undergoing a PET/CT scan will make the process far more comfortable and less exhausting. The Northern Rivers has a high incidence of cancer. One of these state-of-the-art scanners has the potential to achieve many more successful treatment outcomes for cancer patients in our region through early and more accurate diagnosis.

Jockey Linda Jones being inducted into the Iris Nielsen Hall of Fame at Ballina

Lady jockeys museum planned for Ballina Plans to create a national museum at Ballina to recognise the contribution women jockeys have made to the racing industry in Australia could result in a new tourist attraction on the far north coast. Few people know the role lady jockeys have played in the development of the racing industry in Australia and I can see the museum being planned by the Ballina Jockey Club will be an important national asset. The Jockey Club is anticipating doing a major $3.1 million upgrade of its facilities to incorporate the museum. It will primarily record the achievements of both Australian and New Zealand lady jockeys and will also incorporate a section to celebrate the achievements of female jockeys on the international stage. In fact – the Ballina Jockey Club has already taken the initiative when it comes to recognising lady jockeys by establishing the annual Iris Nielsen Memorial race which is an invitation-only race worth $50,000. The race is not simply a celebration of the contribution of lady jockeys to professional racing but a tribute to the late Iris Nielsen who died in a race fall in Lismore in 1988. Iris Nielsen was based in Ballina and was the first woman jockey to die in such circumstances. The Ballina Jockey Club is seeking the funding of $3.1 million to build the Australian Lady Jockeys Museum from the State and Federal Governments.

Alstonville bypass update The bypass is expected to be completed in late 2010, but this is of course dependent on the weather. The removal of vegetation to make way for the bypass has been finished, and suitable species have been mulched and stockpiled for on-site landscaping. More than 300,000m3 of soil has been excavated for the bypass and by the time the project is completed some 16,000m3 of rock will have been blasted and reused in the base of the cuttings. The Federal Government has committed $102 million to the project. The 6.2-kilometre bypass will start at Sneath’s Road at Wollongbar and rejoin the highway near the Tropical Fruit Research Station at Perry’s Hill. If you have any enquiries about the construction of the bypass call the project team on 1800 074 588.

Thrills and spills at Billy Cart derby

Congratulations to the village of Bangalow for once again hosting one of our favourite events of the year, the Billy Cart Derby. It’s a great day for the community and visitors to revel in good, old-fashioned fun, away from the television and computer. There were all sorts of billy cart contraptions, some fast, some slow and some needing a few modifications to handle the “speed wobbles”. The look on children’s faces as they flew down the hill was priceless and many adults also enjoyed returning to their childhood. The parade this year featured Indian dancers, vintage cars, the fire brigade, Lismore Pipe Band and many other local groups who put on quite a show. Thanks to all the volunteers who made this such a special day for Bangalow.

Ballina bypass update The final design of the Teven Road Gateway has been unveiled and work on the $640 million Ballina bypass is on track. The section of the bypass from Cumbalum to Ross Lane is scheduled to be completed by late 2010. The southern part of the bypass from Cumbalum to the intersection of the Pacific and Bruxner Highways is expected to open in mid-2012. The total length of the Bypass is 11.5 kilometres.

Tintenbar to Ewingsdale Pacific Highway upgrade Planning for the Tintenbar to Ewingsdale upgrade of the Pacific Highway continues with preconstruction activities underway. These include field investigations, property acquisitions and the start of the tender process. I presented a petition containing more than 1,000 signatures opposing the half interchange at Bangalow. For more details see my website, www.donpage.com.au. It is worth noting that in the Ballina electorate there is $1.5billion being spent to complete the Ballina Bypass, Alstonville Bypass and Tintenbar to Ewingsdale upgrade of the Pacific Highway. This will improve road safety, cut travel times and reduce green house gases.

Letters to Education Minister I recently met Jai Morcom’s father, Steve Drummond, in Sydney and organised for him to meet the NSW Education Minister Verity Firth. A part of my role as the Member for Ballina is to sometimes arrange meetings with Government ministers and Members of Parliament. Mr Drummond, whose son Jai died at Mullumbimby High School in 2009, delivered 1200 letters to the Education Minister. Mr Drummond is asking for a Coronial Inquiry into the death of his son.

Indian cycling team seeing the best of the electorate Given the density of population in India it’s no wonder the Indian cycling team came to Australia to prepare for the Commonwealth Games which will be held in Delhi in October this year. I had the pleasure of welcoming the team to the Ballina electorate after the cyclists decided to base themselves at Brunswick Heads and train in the Ballina and Tweed electorates. There is limited opportunity for these riders to compete in India so racing in this area was a great opportunity for them. Their road coach is former Australian Olympian, Graham Seers, who competed at the Moscow Olympics in 1980.

In my role as an MP I am often inspired by the passion and commitment of community groups. I think the Ballina High School P&C deserves a special mention. The work that the P&C has done to make the Ballina High School Marine Discovery Centre one of the best facilities of its type in Australia is nothing short of incredible. The Marine Discovery Centre is the only educational facility of its type in New South Wales and is a high profile showpiece for the Department of Education and Training. It delivers 78 educational programs to visiting students from preschool to university level as well as providing information for tourists, and education programs for service clubs and other community groups. Five years ago it was clear that the facility needed to be expanded and the Ballina High School’s P&C Association decided to embark on a five-year, three-stage project to build a dedicated Marine centre separate from school buildings. Gary Thomson, President Ballina High School P&C, Lynda Hourigan, Ballina Marine Discovery Centre Co-Ordinator with Don Page MP Stages one and two have been completed with the Federal Government contributing $229,000. The school community headed by the P&C Association has raised the balance of the cost – some $500,000. The P&C Association is now desperately trying to find $395,000 to complete stage three of the project. The NSW Government has been asked for a grant to complete stage three but Education Minister, Verity Firth, whilst acknowledging the efforts of the P&C, said the Government was currently not in a position to support the project. Coastal environments and waterways in NSW are under immense pressure. Education is the key to preserving and enhancing these environments and I hope the $395,000 can be sourced to allow the Marine Discovery Centre to be completed.

Power upgrade for Byron Bay CBD

NSW Environmental Trust Grants

Country Energy is spending $360,000 upgrading the power supply in Byron Bay’s Central Business District. The underground cable will go from the Great Northern Hotel in the main street to the Byron Bay hospital. I welcome this commitment from Country Energy because it will improve the reliability of supply.

Congratulations to the Big Scrub Rainforest Landcare Group and the Ballina Shire Council who are successful recipients in the NSW Environmental Trust Grants program. The Big Scrub Rainforest Landcare Group will receive $100,000 to control weeds that threaten the endangered lowland rainforest at 36 remnants of the Big Scrub. The Ballina Shire Council has been given $99,115 to regenerate and rehabilitate remnants of the Big Scrub at Killen Falls near Tintenbar, and Duck Creek at Alstonville. The NSW Environmental Trust was established to support exceptional environmental projects that do not receive funds from usual government sources.

With the dust barely settling on the Anand-Topalov World Championship match, attention has turned to the identity of the challengers for Anand’s crown. For the first time since the mid 1990s, the world title challenger will be decided by candidates matches between eight top players. As in decades past, surviving the 2011 candidates matches looks to be almost as tough as winning the world title itself. World number one Magnus Carlsen will need to beat Azeri star Teimour Radjabov on home soil in the quarter-finals before he can contemplate a likely semifinal pairing against former World Champion Vladimir Kramnik. A win against Kramnik would earn the 19-year-old Norwegian a candidates final place against the winner of a probable Veselin Topalov versus Levon Aronian semi-final. Thus Carlsen may well have to beat Kramnik, Topalov and Anand – the three players who

Re6 17.e5 dxe5 18.dxe5 Rxb2 19.Bxf6! ‘The simplest winning continuation was, of course, 19.

Not 23.Rxc8? Qxf2+!! and Black turns the tables. Now 23...Kxh8 loses to 24.Qf8+. 23...Kg6 24.Qg3+ Kxf6 25.Rxc8 Rd3 26.Qg8! 1-0 Now if 26...Qxf2+ White replies 27.Rxf2 check – and everything stops for check.

ARIES: The tongue wasn’t designed as a blunt instrument, so while many find your conversational candour enchanting this week, others may take offense, so better appoint diplomatic Aries as your communications censor. And pay close attention rather than jump to conclusions and miss something important.

GOOD QUEENSLAND WINES

SURFING THE BANK

Queensland wines have improved dramatically in recent years – and nowhere is this more evident than in the 2010 ‘Grands Vins Mercure’, a wine list dedicated to showcasing them. Initiated by the Mercure Hotel group, the first major hotel group in Queensland to take the State’s wines seriously, the list reflects Queensland wineries’ experimentation with grape varieties and styles and includes varietals such as sylvana and verdelho amongst the whites, along with more traditional chardonnay, sauvignon blanc and semillon selections. The reds include straight tempranillo and cabernet franc wines as well as merlot, shiraz and cabernet sauvignon. The wines come from a number of boutique wineries in the Stanthorpe region, recognised as Queensland’s premier wine area, as well as from emerging wine regions such as South Burnett, the Darling Downs and the Gold Coast hinterland. Wines making the cut include those from O’Reilly’s at Canungra Valley, Mount Tamborine Vineyards and Golden Grove, Witches Falls and Sirromet all at Ballandean.

Author, executive chef and star of television series ‘Surfing The Menu’ Ben O’Donoghue is realising one of his dreams with a seafood restaurant, The Surf Club, overlooking Streets Beach at Brisbane’s South Bank and due to open in late June. His partners include one of Australia’s largest and most successful independent hospitality groups The Katarzyna Group, who have agreed with his intention that it not be a fine dining restaurant. There will be a crustacean bar with freshly shucked oysters and seafood platters, as well as the restaurant’s own herb gardens and a bio bin to recycle kitchen waste. Emphasis will be on local produce and Queensland fish, and Ben is describing the menu as ‘Modern Bris-Vegas’.

The Bangalow Dining Rooms at the Bangalow Hotel produces great food using predominantly local produce. The beautiful restaurant space on the high verandah and intimate dining room hosts a modern menu. In the hotel, enjoy our pub selection all day, with reasonable prices and a wide range. The food will appeal to all.

Happy Unbirthday Baking Victoria Cosford They were referred to in our family as Happy Unbirthday presents (borrowing from A A Milne), those gifts gratuitously bequeathed, out of the blue, for no particular reason. Now it is winter and mostly very much indoors weather, the quite perfect opportunity offers itself to hand-make some happy unbirthday presents for people you love or just care about. Because I love baking sweet things – well, cooking in general but specifically cakes and biscuits – the notion of setting aside a weekend afternoon in order to engage in that activity has elements not entirely altruistic in it. But then, it’s surely a case of everyone winning: I as I waft unhurriedly from one soothing culinary act to another as well as the recipient of my baking, with the collateral benefit of a fragrant kitchen. So, if your creative outlet is cooking, I suggest equipping yourself with the sort of inexpensive plain glass jars you can find almost anywhere, wrapping an apron around your waist and indulging in a glorious bake-a-thon. The outcome is jars of lovely homemade biscuits and I do not believe there exists the person who would not be made happy to receive one. Here, then, are some of my favourites: Mini Melting Moments Using a hand-held beater, work 250 grams of roomsoftened butter into a well-sifted mix of 5 tablespoons icing sugar mixture, 5 tablespoons cornflour and 1½ cups plain flour. Dash in a teaspoon of vanilla essence and form into a soft dough. On greased baking trays place heaped teaspoons of the dough rolled into small balls, ensuring they are not too close. Flatten gently with a fork and bake at 160˚C until just beginning to colour. Cool completely then sandwich together with icing made from 30 gr. softened butter beaten into 1½ cups sifted icing sugar mixture, 1 – 2 tablespoons boiling water and 1 tspn vanilla extract. Colour with cochineal if you like pink.

The cult of the chef Shred Potomac Chefs have long had a high rating on the prima donna index like Dame Nellie Melba or Rudolf Nureyev but not until now has the cult of the celebrity chef become so pervasive, with or without expletives deleted. The regard for their opinions now extends far beyond the realm of cooking – as it does with all celebrities. We can rely on Paris Hilton’s word on shopping or Anthony Bourdain on steak, but are either to be trusted on collateralised debt obligations or rocket science? The cult of the chef is useful in selling food. Our fascination with celebrity leads us to extend the star status to the food in a restaurant, whether justified or not. In the end however it is word of mouth which brings punters back to eateries again and again. Turn on your telly and chefs are everywhere, almost as ubiquitous as sports stars bemoaning their latest muscle injury or drug charge. (No drug testing for chefs yet; maybe the adrenalin needed to cope with 100 people at a setting is enough to get them through the night. Post-cuisine a cleansing ale or two is entirely justified.) Among the more entertaining televisual offerings are The Cook And The Chef, still available in reruns – Maggie Beer is a national treasure – and Poh’s Kitchen, in which the new girl on the block mixes it with the star turns like Neil Perry. Heading towards planet weird are Iron Chef, with food incomprehensible to mere mortals, and Masterchef Australia, which is fairly addictive viewing. The appeal of shows like Masterchef is not so much in the pronouncements of the poncey star judges but in the efforts of the sweating aspirants to impress or at least

appease their foodie gurus. Of course like all cult leaders, star chefs vary in personality from the likeable to the despicable. Like World Championship Wrestling, really. You can love Jamie Oliver and hate Gordon Ramsay. You can admire the Pohster and wonder when Nigella will give up the smoldering smirk. Giving the quasi-spritual thrills associated with eating, it’s a wonder we don’t have a real cult of the chef. Perhaps somewhere in the foothills of the Himalayas there’s a Baba Pakorananda ready to impart his gustatory enlightenment to slavering, gullible Westerners. Bring on the aubergine robes, the ritual toothpick of the soul, the smearing of the chutney on the third eye, the elevating chant of ‘Hare Korma, Paneer Korma...’ To rewrite Bill Shakespeare: ‘If food be the music of love, eat on’. See you in the cosmic soup, where you will find the celebrity chef within you – in a nice sort of way.

St Finbarr’s Super 10s win Knockout Geckos field best 11 for Shand Brian Mollet

It is a month of marvellous overindulgence for sports fans as the Nick Shand series and the soccer World Cup blur days and nights into an endless celebration of athletic endeavour. Struggling Seymour’s dogged persistence at the telephone saw the Geckos fielding their best eleven to test the Suffolk Swingers on their first outing. Levi called correctly for the Swingers and chose to bat, but conditions were gloomier than an Emo kid with a Camus novel. Openers Bruce and Darren, like true Swingers, scored mainly with singles.

chased down a rapidly decelerating ball from slip, his throw beating Darren by a metre. Bruce fought hard and Jake looked like charging to retirement quicker than a NSW minister, but both fell to Matt just before the break. Trent put down the keeping gloves and began popping out one lovely leggie after another, like the chorus line at the Radio City Music hall, and his figures (4 for 2) looked every bit as good. Geri was stuck at the other end as the scalps fell like a mosh pit full of teenagers with dandruff having a headbang. Last man in John put on 20 with Geri to guide the score to a shaky 100 at the close. The spirited Swingers had to strike early for a realistic hope of victory and had both openers in the shed early as Levi and Liam had the ball skidding and

sliding like the floor of a portaloo at a big music festival. The swingers also showed they were good singers as keeper John led the side through some rousing but obscure choruses probably designed to confuse the batsmen. Amusingly, it started to work for them. The early scalps only brought in Cliff, however, who wasn’t there to hang around. He launched into a series of hits that described a graceful parabola on their way to the adjacent community gardens, and before you could say ‘good shot’ had 30 on the board. James and Matt had the luxury of no pressure and soon had the win bottled up like the traffic in Byron. Saint Seymour was later seen blessing Trent and Cliff for their inspired efforts. Next week Main Arm try to toss incumbent champs the Full-Tossers.

Jeda is Rookie of the Year Dimity Stoyle wins Showdown

Byron Bay Surf Club member Jeda Greenlaw has just completed her first season with the Australian Lifeguard Service and has been rewarded for her talent and effort over the season. Jeda has been named the Rookie of the Year for the Byron Shire and she is ecstatic about the award. Jeda spent her summer scanning the beaches on the coastline between Tweed and Byron and she worked on her own at South Golden Beach throughout the summer holidays. South Golden is wellknown as one of the more dangerous beaches in our shire and Jeda’s skills and knowledge of the ocean and our coastline ensured swimmers had a safe

aquatic environment. ‘I really enjoyed my first season with the Australian Lifeguard Service,’ said Jeda. ‘The main responsibility when lifeguarding is to keep the public safe on the beach and in the water, and I know I did that to the best of my ability.’ Jeda’s ever watchful eyes and helpful advice to swimmers meant that she was lucky to not have to perform any rescues while working for the Autralian Lifeguard Service during the summer holidays. ‘The beach I patrolled is a very dangerous one and members of the public did not branch too far out of the flags. I performed many preventable actions to ensure the public were safe at all times’.

The Ocean Shores teenager is currently studying a Diploma of Sport management (Surfing Studies) at Southern Cross University on the Gold Coast. Jeda has almost completed a one year course majoring in sport events, management, media, business and marketing, all focusing on the surf industry. ‘It is a very practical course enabling you to gain your level one surf coach certificate, organise and run a surfing event involving all three SCU campuses and undertake an internship anywhere, majoring in the surf industry’. The Byron Shire Rookie Lifeguard of the Year award is a glass plaque which was presented to Jeda by the northern NSW branch of the Australian Lifeguard Service. Jeda says she loves the job and is pleased about the award which has encouraged her to continue to expand her horizons in the area of beach safety. ‘I really enjoy lifeguarding and everything that comes with it. The appreciation the public give you when they leave your beach knowing that they felt safe while they were there is great. I love the beach so working there for the majority of the summer is awesome. With this award I have gained a lot of confidence in my lifeguarding abilities. I now would love the opportunity to chase the summer and further my lifeguarding experiences by lifeguarding overseas next year.’ Jeda says she will be back on the shire’s beaches next year. ‘I will definately be Lifeguarding next summer on the Tweed and Byron Shire beaches as well as doing voluntary patrols with the Byron Bay Surf Club’.

The 18th annual All Girls Surf Showdown enjoyed great waves at Lennox Head over the weekend. The Showdown is the biggest All Girl event in Australia and the Sunday finals standard highlighted the strength of girls surfing in Australia. The blue ribbon Open Pro division saw a quality field attack the final and the result went right down to the last two minutes when Sunshine Coast Queensland surfer Dimity Stoyle found the day’s highest scoring ride, posting an outstanding 9.0 score. ‘I knew I required a great score on that final ride and the wave lined up really well and I sort of threw caution to the wind, went for some big moves and stuck them,’ said an elated Stoyle after her win. ‘I felt good when I finished the ride and even better when I realized that wave won the final for me’. Stoyle picked up a handy $1,000 for her win and she’ll shortly resume her competitive season travelling to South Australia for the Fantastic Noodles Pro Junior in July. Dimity joined a list of great winners of this prestigious event which include Stephanie Gilmore, Samantha Cornish, Sally Fit-

Old Boys remembering the good ol’ days. Last Sunday, the Mullumbimby 1960 Giants held a 50 year reunion at the Leagues Club for the history making 1960 sides. All winners in their division, the Grade A players seated, the Reserves standing and the under 18s taking a knee, won their premiership in that year and all were coached by the one man, Kenny McMorrow, standing centre back. For this great feat, Ken was named Coach of the Team of the Century. The past players whiled away the afternoon at the club recounting their glory days. Photo Tree Faerie.

A second concern was the continued reliance on Commonwealth subsidies for financing housing assistance programs, particularly social and intermediate housing.

Renters priced out of the housing market, survey reveals New research reveals more than one in four Aussies have been forced to rent as they cannot afford to enter the property market. The realestate.com.au survey indicates over one quarter (27 per cent) of Australians have found it difficult to enter the property market, forcing them to continue renting as the gap among home owners and renters widens. Spokesperson for realestate.com.au Peter Wright said the survey findings come as no surprise given strong auction clearance rates across the country has made it more difficult for homebuyers to get the property they want. ‘In addition the recent housing boom coupled with rising interest

rates might be deterring first time home buyers who are keen to enter the property market,’ said Mr Wright. ‘The realestate.com.au survey findings are not all doom and gloom with some Australians preferring to rent as a lifestyle choice because it gave them the freedom and flexibility to live where they want (18 per cent) and a further 40 per cent renting short-term with the view of buying in the future. ‘Interestingly, nearly one in ten (9 per cent) of those who took part in the realestate.com.au survey said they were renting because they did not want the burden of a mortgage.’ The survey also revealed that freestanding homes (46 per cent) are the most searched for rental properties.

Mullumbimby Glamour

Quintessential Bangalow – Circa 1910

Positioned on the crest of a high knoll in the foothills of the escarpment just 4 km from the heart of Byron Shire (Mullumbimby of course), this property overlooks luminescent green rolling hills with views sweeping from Montecollum in the south-east to Mt. Chincogan in the north. The architecture embraces fresh contemporary building materials including polished concrete flooring, oak-framed doors with full length white opaque glass inserts, Caesar-stone benching, German appliances & Italian bathroom appointments, with marine grade stainless balustrading to a deck that marries the house to its stunning view. A self contained guest studio (formerly approved by Council as a temporary dwelling), sits well away and privatised from the main residence & is perhaps far too luxurious for visitors who won’t want to leave. This glamour is just 4 years on from completion and dangerously good looking. A sealed driveway leads to clever & established low maintenance lawn & intensive plantings – the balance of the 7 acres is thickly forested & provides the perfect buffer to all neighbours. Seriously tempting & highly recommended at below replacement cost. Price: $1,295,000 Agent: Wal Leeke on 0411 707 616 at Byron Shire Real Estate 6685 1754

Property in Focus

A Benchmark Home In An Extraordinary Position 424m² of home encompassing two complete and approved separate dwellings, this contemporary split-level home affords absolute privacy, whilst just a short stroll through the National Park to Tallow Beach. Situated in a quiet cul-de-sac, mostly surrounded by the 200 acre Arakwal National Park and 1.5km from the township of Byron Bay. Ocean glimpses from the main house which features 3 bdrm, 2½ bthrm. Multiple living areas from all levels are focused around the view over the swimming pool to the National Park and beyond. A second four bedroom, two bathroom dwelling with approved dual occupancy status is on the lower level for housekeeper/manager or a very lucrative holiday let. As a space for ageing parents, this lower level residence is ideal with its own outdoor garden areas, separate courtyards and complete privacy from the other residence. Full fire wall and all conditions have been met to possibly allow sub division for separate title {STCA} Listed for $3.5M these two dwellings in this extraordinary position represent excellent value but the owners are motivated to sell and are willing to listen to offers.

America’s Tornado Alley, we still get about 16 tornadoes every year. And some places, such as Lennox Head, are more tornado-prone than others, says Barry Hanstrum, NSW regional director of the Bureau of Meteorology. Find out more by following the link at www. abc.net.au/science. Q Q Q Q

A pleasant surprise for the staff at the Byron Community Centre when following a wedding two friends of the bride turned up bearing a bottle of Chandon champagne, several bottles of wine and a couple of slabs of beer. ‘It’s yours,’ they said, ‘it was just too much for us to drink.’ Community Centre general manager Paul Spooner was chuffed of course on behalf of the volunteers but is still waiting for a repeat of his time at Byron Youth Services when an envelope was found containing a cheque made out to BYS for $2,000 with an anonymous note saying ‘Just wanted to say thank you for the good work you are doing.’

Byron Shire councillors struggled last Thursday from 10.30am to 7pm to get through their meeting agenda but failed to make it, and will return for another session in the House of Pain on June 24. Council’s exposure to the GFC through great investments such as collaterised debt obligations (CDOs) looks like producing a loss of $1 million this financial year and a projected loss of $4.58m over the next eight years. According to our source, ‘The history of the Council purchasing these products is not known. So far the explanation is “it seemed like a good idea at the time�. The relevant finance staff have moved on but perhaps the then GM, Pam Westing, may remember. She is now a member of the controversial new JRPP panel about to assess its first development in Byron Shire on behalf of the state ALP government.’

A lot of the NSW government’s budget items were not new but expenditure already on the cards, such as the upgrade of the Suffolk Park power substation and work on the Byron Bay ambulance station. The Buttery will be very happy with $242,000 for the Northern Rivers Gambling Service, but still no sign of capital works money for the Byron district hospital. Maybe it’s better that way, with locals generally enjoying good rapport with the staff at the Bay and Mullum hospitals. The Northern Rivers Social Development Council generally welcomed the budget announcements but was disappointed there was ‘very little new funding for public dental health services’. Hear, hear. Both dental health and disability services could be worked into the Medicare levy and reduce a lot of physical and mental suffering.
