Byron’s fifth annual Beggar’s Banquet on Saturday December 18 will focus on raising funds to help the people of Pakistan as well as local youth. ‘As we head towards Christmas, let’s celebrate the spirit of abundance, the generosity of giving the season brings; but let’s also remember those less fortunate than ourselves who live in beautiful Byron Shire,’ says John Lazarus of Byron Neighbourhood Resource Centre (BNRC), producers of the Banquet. Harsha Prabhu added: ‘Once again it’s Byron’s artists, musicians and youth who have come forward to help

in this hour of dire need. ‘Byron artists are part of a worldwide network of musicians and supporters of Superstars for Flood Relief (www.superstarsforfloodrelief.com).’

Free feast and music The Banquet features a free feast, and a day-long smorgasbord of music, performance and entertainment from the Shire’s best-loved artists, from 11am to 11pm (see Seven/Gig Guide for details). Local charities are invited to join in and everyone is encouraged to bring a plate to share in this all-

inclusive community event. This year, the Banquet will take place at Byron’s Youth Activity Centre (YAC), 1 Gilmore Crescent, (behind Byron courthouse), with 50 per cent of the funds going to a local project – a new kitchen for YAC. ‘We will be featuring youth bands and we thought we would tie up with YAC,’ says Harsha, ‘so it’s appropriate for us to keep the local perspective in mind while we think global.’ To date, the Pakistan floods have affected up to 20 million people and left some 2,000 dead. According to estimates, the number

of people suffering from the flood could exceed the combined total affected by the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, the 2005 Kashmir earthquake and the 2010 Haiti earthquake. According to the United Nations, 10 million people are in need of immediate food assistance. Donations will be raised via a magic bucket on the day. Anyone wishing to make a donation or wanting to help may contact BNRC treasurer Ian Leggo on 6680 7304 or 0403 178 451. The Beggar’s Banquet is supported by Byron Shire Council, community groups and Bay FM.

$200k grant for new Byron Bay library Member for Ballina Don Page announced last week that the new Byron Bay Library will receive $200,000 towards the cost of construction from the NSW Community Building Partnerships program. ‘The announcement of this $200,000 in funding will now enable construction to commence,’ Mr Page said. ‘The Friends of the Library have fought long and hard to get this project off the ground and I am so pleased that finally this library will become a reality.’ The new library will be located at the corner of Lawson and Middleton Streets. The building, designed to be environmentally sustainable, will provide research and learning facilities as well as a display space for local artists. ‘The Byron Library has over 19,000 members who will benefit directly from the new facility,’ Mr Page said. ‘The new library will be more than five times the size of the current facility, so I am sure that the membership will increase substantially when it is completed. ‘Libraries provide important cultural, educational and social benefits for communities. It is something that has been sadly lacking in Byron Bay for too long. ‘[This] is critical funding because it will now enable the project to proceed. I lobbied hard for this money because I knew if we could get it the library would become a reality. ‘I congratulate the Friends of the Library for the persistent hard work over a long period of time to bring the new Byron Library to fruition. Their fundraising and awareness campaign has been fantastic.’ The long-awaited library was originally promised in 1988 as part of the agreement to transfer the Byron Shire Council Chambers to Mullumbimby. Council is providing the bulk of the total cost, which is expected to be over $6 million.

Bangalow interchange draws flack Byron Shire Council’s next meeting will be asked to support a campaign against the Tintenbar to Ewingsdale (T2E) interchange at Bangalow proposed by RTA to replace the existing slip roads on the old highway. Cr Tony Heeson has tabled a notice of motion that Council formally oppose construction of the new interchange. Council will be asked to support a petition of 1,015 residents to the NSW Parliament requesting the RTA be directed to retain the existing slip roads to enter and exit the current Pacific Highway at Bangalow. ‘Also, as a result of unsatisfactory and at times misleading answers to recent Parliamentary Questions, the Minister for Roads has been requested

to answer further questions relating to the RTA’s patently lacking justification for the interchange,’ say campaigners.

Deleterious impact Campaigners have also requested, through local member Don Page, that the Minister visit Bangalow to see for himself ‘the deleterious impact of the proposed freeway interchange on Bangalow. ‘If Oprah’s audience can come to visit Bangalow, then surely the NSW Minister for Roads can see his way clear to come too. He might then understand how the proposed new T2E interchange is likely to seriously damage the tourist potential not only of Bangalow, but also of a significant part of the Byron Bay hinterland.’

Community grants announced Member for Ballina Don Page has announced the successful applicants for the 2010 Community Building Partnership Program, totalling $699,760. In Byron Shire successful applicants include Mullumbimby Little Athletics Centre $13,905, IQ Inc $6,000, Byron Youth Service $43,000, Byron Shire Council (new library) $200,000, Byron En-

vironment Centre $6,448, Byron Bay Community Association $23,000, Byron Bay Basketball Association Inc $82,269, Bangalow Historical Society $27,500, Bangalow Anglican Op Shop $8,000, and 1st Bangalow Scout Group $29,000. The $200,000 for the new Byron Bay library story is on the front page.

Council meeting clarification Last week’s article ‘Retractions and inflexible laws’ contains two items that need clarification. The quote from Cr Cameron should have read, ‘We live in a democracy and in ours there is a separation of powers, the principle being that those who make the laws should not be the ones who apply the laws or decide cases brought before the law’.

Also Mr Cooke did not ‘plant palms on a dune at South Golden Beach’. It was alleged that Mr Cooke dumped garden refuse (containing palm fronds) on the dune.

Hundreds of kids and families gathered down on the beachfront on Friday night for Carols by the Sea. Byron United (BU) donated $5000 to fund the evening with generous donations from Splendour in the Grass, The Beach Hotel, Byron Bay Taxis and Limousines, Balcony Bar and Restaurant and Dolphins Motor Inn. BU president Sevegne Newton said, ‘The highlight of the night was the beautiful singing by Amanuael, an eight year old boy from Africa, as well as the many talented school choirs from around the Shire. ‘We extend our thanks to Sharny van Herp, Naomi Johnston and the Byron Ministers Fellowship for staging yet another wonderful Carols by the Sea.

Bangalow businesses gutted by fire

WHY BUY ONLINE!

CHRISTMAS BARGAINS AT BRIDGLANDS OPEN TILL 4PM THIS SATURDAY HOT BUY! Eve Jeffery

Businesses in Bangalow have embraced their own in an effort to minimalise the hidden damage from last week’s fire which destroyed the Urban Cafe and Miller and Moore in Byron Street. Within days of the blaze, a fund had been created to help support staff of the businesses, who, though they haven’t lost their jobs, have lost their income. ‘An appeal has been set up to assist the employees of the businesses,’ says Michael Molloy from the Bangalow Chamber of Commerce. ‘The cafe has 18 staff and Miller and Moore has two casual staff. These people have lost their income two weeks out from Christmas.’ Mr Molloy said he approached other Bangalow businesses last week and the fund so far has raised a

generous $7,500. He also said that many of the businesses in town have work for some of the staff. ‘This is a small town. It is not possible to place everyone but a number of businesses have offered employment to the affected staff.’

Check your policy Sevegne Newton from Byron United said she and other Byron businesses feel for Bangalow. ‘Any business owner will sympathise on how devastating this would be,’ she said. ‘However there are lessons to be learnt by this and one is to drag out your insurance policy and check what you have your business insured for. ‘Insurance experts estimate over 50 per cent of businesses under insure them, and in fact don’t even have a business interruption policy. It is better to be safe and sorry. ‘The NSW Business Cham-

ber can help you with advice and costs on insurance.’ Tweed-Byron Duty Officer Inspector Darren Steel said that investigations into the fire were ongoing. ‘We are still waiting on the results from forensics and we are still taking witness statements,’ he said on Monday. ‘We are preparing a brief for the coroner as with any fire whose damage is over $100,000. We would hope to get some results from our enquiries in the next month or so.’

Fire brigade’s four minute response Mr Molloy says that the local emergency services needed to be congratulated for averting a terrible tragedy. ‘The Bangalow fire brigade took only four minutes to respond to the call,’ he said. ‘The alert went out after five and when I arrived at

six the Bangalow crew were there and when the neighbouring fire crews and other emergency services turned up, they all worked together extremely well. ‘It was amazing. I have never seen anything like it. It was almost like they had rehearsed it. If not for their quick response there may have me more than the two destroyed premises and the three other smoke and water damaged shops. ‘Half the street could have burned to the ground. It could have had catastrophic consequences for Bangalow.’ Police investigations will continue this week. Anyone wishing to donate to the employees’ support fund can deposit into the Summerland Credit Union account. The BSB is 802-222 the account number is 22281355. The name of the account is the Bangalow Fire Appeal. Photo Steve Baldwin.

A JOURNEY INTO THE 3PIRITUAL 3CIENCE OF 2UDOLF 3TEINER

GRAIL QUEST offers a modern form of adult education based on the work of Rudolf Steiner.

No previous artistic experience is necessary. The emphasis of the course is away from competition and is focused on individual growth. The course aims to teach through the heart, hand and mind and to bring our efforts to fruition through love of the deed. GRAIL QUEST is also the prerequisite for the Steiner Teacher Training programme.

Growth of community gardens set to explode in the area. Byron Council has officially approved a policy promoting the development of community gardens, and is offering small grants to help set them up. The policy, formally adopted last week, recognises community gardens as ‘social assets that enhance local food security and provide opportunities for recreational, cultural, economic, health and educational pursuits’. Council is offering help to license new gardens on public land, and has published a long list of possible sites across Bangalow, Byron, Federal and surrounds. ‘I’d like to see one in every village and town in the shire’ says Mayor Jan Barham. ‘We’re strongly encouraging community groups to come together with a proposal, and we’ll support them in making it a reality.’ The same day the policy was adopted, a group at Ocean

Shores formally applied to start a community garden on land next to the pre-school on Shara Boulevard. The group is planning a public meeting for early next year to form a committee to steer the garden’s development, and they’re looking for builders, coordinators, gardeners and grant writers, from all generations. The community garden by the Saltwater creek in Mullumbimby has gone from strength to strength since opening eighteen months ago. Several years in the planning, the gardens now boast almost 100 members, large communal plots and over 50 private allotments, with a waiting list for new ones. Spanning more than two hectares, the Mullumbimby gardens are used for a wide range of social and educational activities including training classes, work experience, therapy sessions, choir practice and theatre performances. Work is currently underway to build a kitchen, an

expanded nursery, and composting toilets, with plans for a children’s garden, a recycling workshop and an art space. ‘Community gardens often start and then fizzle,’ says coordinator Jeannette Martin, ‘the challenge is to keep them going.’ Smart, warm and energetic, Martin has a track record in the field, having helped create a garden in Victoria that is still running ten years later. She’s worked closely with Council, and is enthusiastic about other community gardens being developed in the area. ‘Having the policy is fantastic – it’s providing the pathway to a successful project,’ she says. Asked whether the new policy would put obstacles in the way of grass roots community gardens popping up spontaneously, Council’s sustainability officer Graeme Williams said there were a few hoops, but the policy was deliberately designed to be user-friendly. ‘It’s easy to have a wonderful idea and vision, but unless

you go through a pragmatic robust process, that vision may not be fulfilled in the long run,’ says Williams, who adds gardens are a great melting pot where people from very different world views can work together.

Building community resilience With the growing global concern about the energy used in transporting food, and renewed emphasis on the benefits of local food production and social connectivity, community gardens are attracting growing attention worldwide. ‘They bring people together and help build community resilience’ says Barham. Sevegne Newton, president of the business group Byron United, said she welcomed Council’s ‘wonderful community initiative’, adding ‘we’d love to see some community gardens in Byron Bay.’ Photo of Jeannette Martin by Jeff Dawson.

The lucky Yanks stayed at Byron@ Byron and descended en masse to the Beach Cafe and Fishheads restaurant and even enjoyed the Main Beach twilight drummers. The Oprah yabbering centred mainly on whether she would turn up – as it happened, she was spotted on Friday opposite the Great North-Pole Hotel with a Santa look-alike.

Byron Shire Councilor Simon Richardson, 39, will contest the Lower House seat of Ballina in the upcoming March 26 State election. ‘I am committed to bringing energy, enthusiasm, innovation and vision to the electorate of Ballina,’ he said. ‘I want my little girl to grow up in a place where creative industries are booming, where agriculture is sustainable and profitable, where schools and hospitals meet her needs and where she can swim in or fish in our rivers and beaches and not just take photos of them.’

Mr Richardson says his background and career as a high school teacher has directly involved him in the young peo-

ple of the region. ‘We need to create inspiration of a new future; a community that lives in harmony with our economy and our environment. Voting for the Greens can bring a new commitment to our services, sustainable jobs for rural NSW, a revitalised respect for our farmers and food producers and renewed health our rivers. ‘It is time for a new type of politics. Local Government is the level of government closest to people, and should be the powerhouse behind decisions which reflect the needs and

wants of communities within our electorate. We should have a say in how our area is developed, especially for the biggest, ugliest, most unpopular ones which currently are decided by people in Sydney on the basis of politics.’  Mayor Jan Barham said, ‘I’m excited that a young, enthusiastic councillor is the Greens candidate for the Ballina Electorate. Simon offers a wealth of experience. I look forward to Simon presenting a fresh approach to the Ballina electorate of green ideas for a sustainable and vibrant future.’

Monks Bless Stupa

Rail freight terminal for Casino approved Inland rail freight got a boost this week with the announcement of a rail freight terminal facility in Casino. The facility will complement the existing lines that run north to Brisbane and south to Sydney, according to Garry West, of The Northern Joint Regional Planning Panel (JRPP). ‘[It] will meet the short to medium term transport needs of the region by allowing for around 250,000 tonnes of additional rail freight.’ More information on JRPPs can be found at www.jrpp.nsw. gov.au.

The hills were alive with hundreds of rainbow umbrellas last Friday. More than 300 people attended a sacred ceremony at the Crystal Castle to consecrate the land for the creation of a World Peace Stupa. Arakwal representative Delta Kay and her family performed a smoking ceremony to welcome Gyuto elder Gen Lama, pictured, and five Tibetan monks. Over the next year, the aim is to create Australia’s first ever Kalachakra Stupa. Photo Jeff ‘Mad Monk’ Dawson.

State run holiday parks get a funding boost Holiday parks in Byron Shire are set to undergo substantial improvements after the allocation of more than $2.584 million by the NSW Government. Minister for Lands Tony Kelly has announced that grants and loans have been made available to the trust managers of the facilities – which occupy Crown land and reserves – to carry out the upgradings. ‘This is part of $9.2 million available this financial year for caravan park improvements

through the Public Reserves Management Fund (PRMF),’ the Minister said. The grants and loans include a $517,000 loan for renovations and upgrades at the Terrace Reserve Caravan Park in Brunswick Heads; a $357,500 loan towards refurbishments, upgrades and playground construction at the Massey Greene Holiday Park in Brunswick Heads; $330,000 for a new amenities block at the Ferry Reserve Holiday Park in Brunswick

Heads, and $280,000 for the construction of two guest cabins, one of which will cater for people with disabilities, at the Clarkes Beach Holiday Park, Byron Bay. Ballina, Urunga and Bellinger Heads have also been granted funding and or loans, according to the Minsiter. The Land and Property Management Authority administers the PRMF which is the source of funds for the improvement of Crown reserves throughout the state.

Byron Community Centre Christmas Party Victoria Cosford

An opportunity to say thank you is the motivating factor behind the Byron Community Centre’s upcoming Christmas party. General Manager Paul Spooner told The Echo that the intention was to hold an open Christmas party and invite everyone. ‘We decided to put something together that would acknowledge volunteers – there are so many volunteers in this community and it’s time to thank them,’

he said. ‘But it will be fun too!’ The get-together will feature a wishing well, to which guests are invited to contribute non-perishable gifts. MC and comic Robert Grayson will perform, along with musicians Rebecca Ireland and the Firetree. There will also be a charity auction. Local businesses the Dive Centre, Crystal Castle and Kiva Spa have generously donated vouchers, said Paul. Food will be supplied by The Beautiful Feast and a local publican is providing some

alcohol. ‘Tom Mooney is donating a box of champagne, so there will be a free drink upon arrival,’ said Paul. Money raised will go to the Fletcher Street Cottage, and decorations, with the theme of linking hands, come courtesy of Byron Community School. ‘It’s a nice way of bringing the community together at the end of the year and to say thank you,’ said Paul. The Christmas party kicks off at 5pm on Friday December 17 and is both free of charge and open to everybody.

It’s so inspiring! I tell them that this is a ‘free’ space to come up with ideas and that I won’t censor them. ‘I also won’t tell their parents or teachers what they say. They go mad for a week or two, and then they start settling into their newly found creative freedom. ‘This is a fabulous gig for other kids to attend – it’s a brand new Kid’s Comedy Club!’

Human Rights Day was last Friday, December 10. Byron supporters of one time Lismore boy Julian Assange staged an impromptu action at the rocks at Main Beach in solidarity with the Wikileaks editor now in a jail in England. It’s been a big week for human civil rights, highlighted again when Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo won the Nobel Peace Prize. The Chinese unsurprisingly were ‘infuriated’ and refused to participate. More importantly, sixteen nations did not attend the event, providing a glimpse at which countries on the planet put profit over people. The sixteen countries that are at the mercy of the Chinese are Saudi Arabia, Russia, Venezuela, Tunisia, Vietnam, Kazakhstan, Cuba, Morocco, Sudan, Algeria, Iraq, Iran, Egypt, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Sri Lanka.

After eight weeks of Mandy Nolan’s Funny School, 14 brave Byron Shire children are ready to take to the stage Tuesday December 14 at the Community Centre. Mandy has just completed mentoring the young children and has helped them create their own individual performance. ‘The focus is on using your own life for inspiration, developing the capacity for critical thinking, improvisation and learning how to re-frame life’s challenges,’ Mandy says. She believes that children are so often ‘fed’ entertainment by adults (via tv programming etc), that it’s a rare opportunity for children to find their own voice and talk about the issues that affect them. ‘Issues that came up included overbearing teachers, rules about bedtime, being bullied,

The children of the Ocean Shores Public School Choir made a special appearance at the New Brighton Farmers market last Tuesday. The school came to say thank you for the market’s support and receive a $1,000 donation to put toward supplies for the school’s veggie garden. The 90 strong ensemble sang four carols to a delighted audience. The donation is part of the market’s ongoing support in providing materials, seedlings and expertise to help local schools develop their vegetable gardens and food education programs.

Cameron aims to improve wheelchair access Byron Shire Councillor Basil Cameron hopes to improve local wheelchair access with a notice of motion at Council’s meeting this Thursday. This follows his tour of local access hotspots with Byron Bay activist Matthew Hartley, who blasted Council’s approach to access in an article in The Echo. Cr Cameron’s notice of motion aims to review all Pedestrian Access Mobility Plans and ensure planning and planning approval processes con-

sider pedestrian and wheeled access needs. It also calls for the establishment of a stakeholder forum ‘able to consider and provide feedback on proposed infrastructure and services’. Cr Cameron said his walk around the Byron Bay town centre with Mr Hartley to review pedestrian and access mobility issues ‘revealed a considerable number of unsatisfactory issues,’ including poor integration between

footpaths and roads ‘making across Council service areas, them dangerous and often im- according to Cr Cameron. ‘Some mobility measures passable’, broken and poorly installed in recently years had cambered path surfaces. been poorly thought through ‘Poorly designed and consequently created new barriers to access. and dangerous’ ‘Currently, no access comHe also said there were mittee operates that allows ‘multiple examples of poorly for all pedestrians, those in designed wheeled access park- wheelchairs, visually iming spaces that rendered them paired, those pushing prams useless and dangerous to users’. and others with different Greater understanding of needs to have input into the all pedestrian and wheeled design and implementation of access needs is required mobility access.’Â

Local op-shops are doing it tough these days and it’s all because people are donating too much stuff. Health and safety regulations have made it more difficult for opportunity shops to sell the items they once used to. Now much of the bedding and electrical items that are being donated eventually end up at the tip and this is causing these charitable institutions hundreds of thousands of dollars annually shire-wide in rubbish removal fees. This is money that would otherwise be channeled to those in need and community projects.

One local shop regularly spends $2,000 in fees per month, but it is not only the kindness of people that is being left to be dealt with. A growing problem with many op-shops is the simple dumping on their doorsteps of people’s unwanted and unusable rubbish, items that they don’t want to have to take to the tip themselves. One volunteer at a local charitable shop told The Echo that quite often the doorway to the building is blocked with rubbish on a Monday morning. ‘We get broken and unusable items left all the time,’ she said. ‘I arrived one day to find an old broken record turntable on the doorstep. It was totally

useless and I put it in the bin. Later in the morning, a woman came in to complain that the speakers she had taken from the turntable during the night didn’t work. ‘Not only did someone dump their broken rubbish on us, but someone else pinched it and then complained about it. Can you believe that?’ All of the Shire’s op-shops are extremely grateful for the donated items. They wouldn’t be able to provide the community service they do if not for the kindness of folk who give generously to keep shelves stocked, but unfortunately the minority who deliver their garbage are helping defeat the purpose of the service.

Very few if any op-shops can these days take electrical goods. Unless items have been checked by an electrician, they cannot be resold for safety’s sake. Also much of the bedding donated cannot be resold for health reasons. Some opshops have an electrician who can check electrical goods. ‘The last thing we want to do is deter people from donating items,’ said the volunteer. ‘Without people’s kindness we couldn’t function, but the rubbish removal is getting out of hand. The best thing people can do is come in and ask us what we can take and, when they can, deliver items during open hours.’

didn’t want this stuff to become known, they should have taken more care with their security. Which brings us to the critical question of principle: what was so secret about it in the first place? The zealots who are demanding the head of Julian Assange on a platter tell us that the revelations have placed lives at risk and have compromised the security of nations, but they have supplied absolutely no evidence

It is further proof, if proof were needed, that even democratically elected governments become addicted to control for its own sake by Mungo MacCallum for either claim. It would appear that most of the cables were stamped ‘secret’ or ‘confidential’ almost as a matter of reflex; there is nothing in them to justify the classification. It is further proof, if proof were needed, that even democratically elected governments become addicted to control for its own sake. In a free and open society the availability of information should be the default position; it is not a matter of the public’s right to know, which should be a given, but of the government having to justify any restriction of that right. It is not enough for the punishers and the straiteners, as Manning Clark christened them, to parrot slogans like ‘national security’ and ‘operational matters’ and ‘commercial in confidence’ in order to suppress what they would prefer not to discuss. They should be compelled to demonstrate that the disclosure would do actual harm. The right to personal privacy is one thing, but the curtailing of public debate

ne of the more obvious revelations from WikiLeaks was the news that self-styled Labor powerbroker Mark Arbib is a tattletale and informer. Arbib, we are told, regularly briefs the United States embassy about the goings on in the ALP and has done so for years. And why not, say his right wing colleagues; lots of us do it. Well,

t least Cancun was an improvement on Copenhagen; there was something approaching agreement between the developed and the developing and a general consensus that something needs to be done. But nothing too specific, and certainly nothing binding. And so once again climate change goes to the backburner. The latest talk fest has resulted in a great many expressions of good intentions but still no binding commitments to actually do something. A couple of weeks ago the question was: Can Can Cun? Now the answer is: Can Cun Can’t. We will heroically resist adding the obvious expletive to conclude this word play.

Mimicking Nature The ultimate aim when repairing a fractured or decayed tooth should be to restore it, as best as possible, to its natural, intact state. This is no mean feat considering enamel’s and dentine’s relative brittleness. The secret to the tooth’s resilience is in the intimate and balanced relationship between its different tissues. Considering this, more severe tooth preparation, to allow stiffer and stronger restorations, is not always better. Recent advances in bonding technology, and new adhesive techniques, allow for extremely strong, high performance, predictable bonds to both enamel and dentine. This means minimally invasive, conservative tooth preparation, which enables the restorative dentist to maximise the maintenance of sound tooth structure and best reproduce the bio-mechanical behaviour of the intact tooth. To keep the pulp alive and emulate the mechanics, function and aesthetics of nature is the bio-mimetic principle.

of the US constitution, but it is not formalised under Australian law. Nor should it need to be. It is the very basis of our society. And this is not, or should not be, a divisive issue: the small government ideologues of the right have just as big a stake in it as have the anti-censorship populists of the left. And for that matter, Julia Gillard and Sarah Palin are equally wrong. Julian Assange may not merit a Nobel Prize, but he sure as hell doesn’t deserve to be persecuted either. If we are serious about defending democracy, he is not our enemy but our new best friend.

maybe; but have they all followed Arbib’s lead in asking for anonymity, to be designated a ‘protected source’? Of course, this may reflect no more than a desire on the part of the minuscule apparatchik to be seen as an important player, a key figure in the secret world in the mould of James Bond, or at least Godwin Gretch. But it may also suggest that the Yanks are grooming Arbib as a genuine agent of influence, with a view to using him for more sinister purposes. This was certainly how ASIO saw the friendship between the former ALP national secretary David Combe and the Russian diplomat Valery Ivanov, a relationship which was completely open, and as a result Combe was declared persona non grata by the Hawke government and ostracised by many of his former colleagues. Given Arbib’s unsavoury reputation, such a sentence on him would probably be redundant. But it would be nice to see the message ‘Arbib is a fink’ painted on the walls of Sussex Street.

by withholding the relevant facts is another entirely. This is why questions like: ‘But is it in the public interest?’ and ‘Do we really need to know?’ are not only irrelevant but downright silly.

Woolies and the ethics of shopping Q Here is a letter I recently sub-

mitted to the PR department of Woolworths: Dear Clare Buchanan, I’ve lived in Mullumbimby for almost 23 years, and it is beyond understanding how one company can seem to be destroying our little town with the most hideous development imaginable, and a seemingly eternal, growing fence. On PR fallout alone, one thinks you’d have to reconsider. You must not be aware that last weekend was the Mullum Music Festival. The thousands of local, interstate, and national visitors were all shocked by the fence, and had to learn that it was Woolworths who is responsible. It was an awful inconvenience. But the worse shock is when they see the building. You must not be aware that we live in the 21st century, and that any thinking developers of any property are constructing buildings that are not concrete boxes. Mullumbimby is not Tarin Kot.

I am not sure whether all Station Street residents will endorse this latest action. With those to whom I have spoken, most have been happy, or resigned, over the Woolworths project and just wish to see construction at an end, with improved roadworks, footpaths, a general greening of the Woolworths site, and but a short walk to do their shopping. Noting the hostility of the present Shire Council, it would do well for citizens to be aware that it was a more enlightened Shire Council which originally selected and approved the site in Station Street as most suitable for a supermarket. As a New Year gesture, would the activists and the Shire Council please desist from a never ending list of hindrances and allow this legitimate business to get on with the job? I want to be the first through the door on opening day – should I live that long.

out, but it’s not and they did, so where do go from here? Which is the way that’s clear? The good news is that the works I’m proposing (and I’ve become aware other people have very similar ideas) are essentially designed to sit below the beach, like the black sand did, and terminate in a gradual slope that has a surface shaped like corrugated iron. The idea is not to ‘hold back the waves’ or block a tsunami, just to decelerate waves between major storm events as the pre-mining subdune did. That means erosion will not be passed further down the beach,

rather, wave action will be passively reduced. The concrete I propose will sit at the base of the mining-damaged areas, and prevent further undermining. There will still be plenty of scope for fluctuation, but it will be under conditions closer to those of the last several thousand years, ie mobile silica above a solid base. More controversially, I do support advancing to seaward west of Main Beach as well as bringing the car park back inland to the ‘average line’. Most of that erosion to the west has happened over the last 20 years and all of it over the last 43, ie since the sandmining tore

the beach apart. I also support a continuous dune form that would continue across and include the Belongil right down to the creek mouth, where it would gradually taper out. Why? Because losing material thousands of years old over 43 years ain’t nature, it happened very very quickly and it happened because of bulldozers. The upside of all this, as I’ve pointed out, is that we a) protect the bird habitat, b) protect the railway (we’ll need that if we ever expect to get the train back), c) protect homes (people matter too), d) protect the sadly deteriorating area west of Main Beach and e) open up

Shearwater surprise I am confused that Stan and others at Shearwater are defending the current legal action brought against them with the defence ‘we deny we knew or should have been expected to know’ that Shearwater would not be able to pay its bills in 2008. I’m confused because I thought everyone knew as far back as 2007 – way before the GFC – that Shearwater was in big financial trouble. That was why Allan Coman was brought in to try and salvage the situation, wasn’t it? It was the worst kept secret of the shire. Come on. Own up. Who else knew? I certainly knew there was something massively wrong as far back as 2007. In 2007, fees were massively increased, support teachers were let go, the wearable arts show was massively downsized and struggling. Then in 2008 major excursions were cancelled. The situation was clearly dire. It would be a travesty for the volunteer committee members to be held accountable for the school’s troubles. Perhaps the ‘Save Shearwater’ committee can rise to the occasion and consider a new role of ‘Save the volunteer directors’? Because everyone knew and if ‘I didn’t know!’ is the best defence these people have got, I’d not like to be them come court time. Richard McLachlan

Mandy, breastfeeding, and Oprah Thanks, Mandy, for expressing once again my sentiments exactly (Echo, December 7). The Oprah hype is costing taxpayers of this country millions and what for? She is the richest women in the US. Why she couldn’t have shouted her audience everything for the trip is beyond me! Hope she is paying for all the tours, food, accom, etc of over 300 US Midwesterners who hardly ever step out of their area let alone their country. As you may have heard, most don’t know a thing about Australia. And we have been a favourite tourist destination for over 25 years ever since Hoges put us on the map. Eh? Does Tourism Australia think that these people will bring more with our dollar at an all time high? God, I hope so, after all that has been invested/wasted in them. And when they come to Byron (God help us!) I hope that they will go to the beach and look out at Mt Warning and the ranges to see how beautiful this place is naturally. But don’t turn around and look too closely at the ugliness of chain stores, street campers and their vans pouring their piss pots into the gutter when

within the EIS for the Quarry Landfill. This small step has the potential to reduce our collective environmental footprint as much as any other I can remember. What it means is that those who reduce their use of ‘stuff ’ or find ways to avoid it becoming ‘waste’ will be rewarded by lower garbage fees. In particular, per-bin sensing (probably using an embedded microchip) introduces the potential for low waste households to ‘skip’ a collection and save money. Such a system is smart, simple and should be inexpensive to administer. It will encourage people to avoid putting garden and food ‘waste’ in the bin, do home composting, use garden clippings and prunings more productively, and maybe even

Bangalow Q Thank you to Mandy Nolan for her column highlighting the joys and benefits of breastfeeding and her determination to breastfeed her baby wherever and whenever needed. As a breastfeeding counsellor for the Australian Breastfeeding Association (ABA) I take calls from mothers across the country on my monthly shift on the 24 hour Breastfeeding Helpline. I have counselled many mothers who experience a lack of support for breastfeeding their baby from their friends, families and their local communities. It was only last year that a flight attendant asked a mother to stop breastfeeding her baby on a flight. The mother was made to feel publicly humiliated and very upset, even though she was well within her rights to breastfeed her baby. The flight attendant did apologise

Creative living Great to read Jan Barham’s article in last week’s Echo. Thankfully we don’t have a mayor prepared to rest on her laurels and crap on about how marvellous her council has been. As a ‘blow-in’ I have to say how impressed I have been with the actions of the community and council especially during those crucial years in the nineties. But those years set an agenda that continues. I see that in the wonderfully creative industrial and arts area where young and inspired people can still make a

after this incident went public, but there are many unreported incidents where mothers receive disapproving glares and comments while breastfeeding in public. It is every mother’s right in Australia to breastfeed her baby in public. However, as women’s bodies have become more objectified in the media, it seems society has forgotten what is normal. Given that last year a Newspoll survey found that one in four Australians felt breastfeeding in public was unacceptable, it seems there needs to be a public awareness campaign to reinforce the message that breastmilk is the perfect food for babies and that breastfeeding is normal. Brazil has introduced strong pro-breastfeeding public policies. They have engaged their public servants and created the ‘Breastfeeding Friendly Postman Program’. In 2002 over 20,000 postal workers were trained to communicate basic messages regarding the importance and advantages of breastfeeding as they go door to door delivering mail – perhaps Australia has something to learn from this program. For anyone needing breastgo at commercial activity. I see it in the markets again where people with low capital can still make a living. This area still provides those opportunities for creative living. Yes, the prices for commercial property in Byron township are prohibitive and it is sad to see creative businesses forced from town by big label outlets. But some locals still survive in town. Buskers still can play. Many creative businesses thrive in the industrial estate. We should all support those businesses when we can. Don’t worry about the big corporates and labels. They will survive or fall but if we as a community keep on supporting and promoting local small business the place will thrive and prosper into the future. David Hancock

Nor, contra US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s surreal claim, is the latest WikiLeaks release ‘an attack on the international community’. If such a ‘community’ exists, identifying it with the parasite states sitting atop its regional populations is like designating canine breeds on the basis of the ticks which infest each dog’s fur.

Spymaster Clinton And talk about the pot calling the kettle black! It was Clinton, not Assange, who directed US State Department employees to spy on United Nations officials – including but not limited to permanent members of the UN Security Council and UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon himself – in what looks an awful lot like an identity theft scheme right out of the latest crime news headlines. If the UN’s member states do indeed comprise the ‘international community’, Clinton has cast herself in the role of neighbourhood burglar. But, if this be treason, make the most of it. The penchant of state actors for secrecy stems from the same motives as any other criminal’s desire to keep his deeds out of the public eye. Their threats against those who might reveal their secrets are of precisely the same nature as the

<echowebsection=Letters>

warnings of any child rapist to his victims: ‘Don’t tell, or you will get in trouble.’ We’ve been here before, many times. Not many remember, but the most vehement western objections to Russia’s October Revolution were concerned not with nature of Bolshevism but with this language in Lenin’s Decree on Peace: ‘We have to fight against the hypocrisy of the governments, which, while talking about peace and justice, actually carry on wars of conquest and plunder. Not one single government will tell you what it really means. But we are opposed to secret diplomacy and can afford to act openly before all people.’

Vampires at work While Russia’s former allies did indeed oppose communism and desire an active Eastern Front (to reduce pressure on the Western Front), they were outright desperate to hide the details of their complicity in the ongoing disaster now known as World War One. Like vampires, politicians will choose gunfire over sunlight every time. The subsequent actions of the new Russian state constitute proof of the incompatibility of political government and transparency. Forced to choose

between truth and power, the Bolsheviks chose power. Their regime and its spinoffs became (pardon the pun) the gold standard for secretive government. The strength of Wikileaks is that it faces no similar choice. It’s not a state, nor do its principals evince any intention of making it one.

Power of truth Truth is its entire portfolio, and this drives the Hillary Clintons of the world insane. It threatens their aspirations to unquestioned power. It forces them to explain themselves to the rest of us: to the serfs who, as the politicians see things, exist for the sole purpose of footing the bill – in money and in blood – for those aspirations. Which is exactly how it should be. ‘Treason’ to and ‘betrayal’ of the state is service to humanity. WikiLeaks is your friend. Hillary Clinton is your enemy. Never forget that.

Comment

Councils choke in State’s stranglehold EARTHMOVING Byron Shire Councillor Tom Tabart examines the relative powerlessness of councillors in the face of state and local bureaucracy. ong ago before the Local Government Act of 1993 (when the power balance between the General Manager and councillors moved significantly to the former), local councils were simple organisations mainly concerned with the staples of roads, rates and rubbish. The duties of councillors were similarly uncomplicated and their infrequent meetings routinely endorsed the recommendations of the all-knowing Town Clerk. There was of course a darker side to some councils where the elected members with the help of some staff would move to advantage themselves and mates – this practice still persists in some areas albeit with a somewhat greater degree of sophistication (although the Wollongong ICAC affair has shown that some hardy traditionalists still prevail). During this time the local communities tended to ignore the functions of their council good or bad, in fact most were totally oblivious of who represented them or what they were up to – this still prevails with a few exceptions where educated/politicised groups present their councils with challenges they can rarely meet.

L

Cost shifting The culture began to change about the 1970s when councils started to take on a wider range of responsibilities, moving into social welfare areas and having to manage the increasingly complicated challenges of environmental impacts. State governments (especially NSW) saw the advantages of this to their own bottom line (the work was originally theirs) and

have moved to shift as many of these functions as possible to councils. Unfortunately this shift has not been accompanied by adequate funding. The result has been the impoverishment of councils and the shift of the burden to ratepayers – virtually all councils in NSW are functionally broke if their infrastructure maintenance liability is factored in. (In the year 08/09 a survey of 77 NSW councils put the cost shift at $440m or 5.74 per cent of their total income – this has been the trend compounding for a long time.)

Backward march The cost shifting continues today and the backward march of local government in NSW is exacerbated by the state maintaining a political stranglehold on rate levels and running an unpredictable lottery for the grants now vital to annual budgets. To aggravate the problem this growing impost has been accompanied by an unprecedented period of State-imposed bureaucratic demands and policy churning accompanied by the steady political erosion of local government’s control of planning decisions (Woolworths, West Byron etc). The result of increasing costs, reducing income and powers is an undermining of councils’ capacity to meet basic commitments let alone an ever-growing list of new responsibilities. The flow-on consequences are poor management practices, reduced capacity to attract and retain qualified/competent staff, declining morale, poor service delivery, increasing conflict with the community, reduced confidence and increased cyni-

I was walking off my worries on the beach when I saw these clumps of sea grass tangled up with bluebottles. I know they were only ripped up plants and battered marine life in the late afternoon light. But for a moment, they were holiday boughs decorated with clear blue baubles. Suddenly, I knew I must write to you one more time. For years now, I’ve been the grown-up, the care taker and the provider. I’ve been the pragmatist, the realist and the hard worker. I always take care of things myself. But in that moment on the sand, I remembered the magic you can do. So I want to ask you for something very special this Christmas. See, I was looking into this shop window. It’s been empty for months now. If you please, I want that space. I want to kit it out as a fabulous Northern Rivers eco centre, complete with fascinating local nature displays and exciting live transmissions from underwater and

more. A resource hub offering the best information and practice about urgent sustainability issues for our region. A smart green shop with the products, gadgets and tools that help make that transition to an ecologic future. Now a big house would also suit. A residential program could be started, bringing together both an interested public and specialists. Local youth can join in and find new interests and mentors.

business. They could also purchase alternative goods. Find out more about creatures and plants. They could buy beautiful and informative materials, print or digital. Everyone could sign up as different types of members, as a resident or a visitor, a business or community group. Some people could get paid work at the eco centre, developing the nature displays or the sustainability projects or the green retail. Kids could join a special club. A membership emblem or logo could be a sticker in Soak up ideas participating shop windows or Anywhere, Santa, that’s a card in wallets. handy and central so people can come to marvel as well as Ready to go soak up ideas.

see the economic as well as ecologic benefits. Kids are always keen. You know me, Santa. I wouldn’t ask you if I could do this all myself. But looking into that shop window, I know this will take more time, skill and money than I’ve got all by myself. It’s the kind of project that needs magic. That special something when a community comes together to create something that didn’t exist before. Hey Santa! What about even two weeks with a shopfront where I could invite people to come and try out the idea? What if, in bringing the people together, this brought together the resources to make it happen? That could really be that gift that keeps on giving. I really hope to hear from you soon. Thank you! All the very best. Your local biologist PS My friend says that I should ask for some other thing too, to avoid complete disappointment this Christmas. After all, you have a lot to do. So could I please have a new snorkel mask, the kind with a black ‘skirt’, and my very own prescription lenses put into them?

Catch Byron’s very own psychic superstar the boy who started earning his keep mind reading at the markets at just 8 is back in the Bay and gearing up for three great shows. The Space Cowboy is a truly unique and exciting performer who has won seven Guinness World Records, the ‘Street Performance World Championships’ two times, and has starred in many TV shows viewed by over a billion people. Inspired by the great thinkers of the past and present, The Space Cowboy’s extreme performance highlights the incredible power of the human mind and the physical body. His bizarre demonstrations are so unusual they have baffled doctors and scientists around the globe. Through various forms of psychology, educated intuition, perceptual manipulation and control of mind versus matter

witness The Space Cowboy draw pictures from people’s minds, literally control their actions, bend spoons in their hands, and swallow glass neon tubes that shine through his skin from the inside. You are invited to bring your own cutlery for him to bend with no apparent physical force, in full view and in your own hands! Space Cowboy chats with Seven.

Who are the Thinkers that inspire you? I am inspired by many people... Derren Brown for his thoughts on showmanship, James Randi for his perseverance on skeptical thinking and Einstein for his relationship with quantum physics. How do you develop an idea from concept to stage? What’s your process? I start by focusing on an unusual ability or a skill that I want to show off, then I try to find some of the history around it and interesting stories that might involve the skill or act, then I play around with it until I find the best and most entertaining way to present it. I also get a lot from just trying things out with people like getting someone to think of an object or a name and I try to work out what they are thinking. Everyone thinks in different ways so that makes my job very interesting and each process a new experience for myself and the audience. What kind of focus and discipline do you require to maintain your craft? I train a lot and I have been preparing and practising my skills since I was a kid. I guess I am obsessed... I keep doing something until I can do it and then I keep doing it until I can do it extremely well. I work all day and night every day on some aspect of my craft. How would you describe what you do? I do so many different things that it is hard for me to describe what I do in one.  I am an extreme performance artist. I perform acts that push the boundaries of possibility both mental and physical. This is where my fascination with breaking world records had evolved from and I like to demonstrate through my abilities that others too can be whatever they want to be and achieve whatever task they set their minds and hearts to. I’m always intrigued by how people find their path in life. How do you navigate a career that doesn’t really have a blueprint... it’s not like being a doctor etc where your career path is laid out? It takes a lot of commitment to choose the path of an artist and one so unusual. Luckily I am fantastic at selfpromotion and genuinely love what I do. I guess another great thing is I don’t have much competition. I am unique. I have an extensive library of resources and and have travelled the world learning my trade since I was 17. My parents have encouraged and supported me since I was a child and I have a fabulous girlfriend who helps me in many ways.

BORED WITH BURLESQUE

It’s always sad when something exciting and different becomes mainstream. When something edgy and confrontational becomes boring. Like Oprah. Like full body tattooing. Like burlesque. Burlesque is old school. It was basically a rich source of music and comedy that kept audiences in their seats. Knowing a girl in a knee-length pair of knickers is about to twirl her parasol was better than superglue for keeping blokes in their seats. A hundred years ago you’d sneak off to a burlesque show, expecting a hardcore girl with a beard, small breasts and giant thighs writhing upside down on a trapeze with a python encircling her torso. While burlesque as an art form has always primarily focused on sex, involving ribald humour and immodestly dressed women, there has usually been an element of theatre, with plays, musicals, even Shakespearean dramas. Burlesque peaked from about 1840 to 1960. In the last five years it’s made a bit of a resurgence, with politically correct audiences suddenly being afforded the opportunity for a bit of dancing titty. These days every second girl fancies herself as a burlesque dancer. Even I’ve had a crack at it. (Although I did come out in the buff and get dressed – it’s a bit offputting getting a standing ovation for putting your clothes on.) Burlesque is supposed to be funny. It can be provocative and rude but it usually has to be a bit silly. Sticking sequins on your nipples and dancing with a fan while you wiggle your arse is just so, well, as an audience member who’d like to see something entertaining, it’s well, it’s a bit like watching lawn bowls. Taking your clothes off a hundred years ago meant something. It was outra-

geous. It spoke to women’s societal role. These days it’s just another dose of objectification. I’m sick of perfectly beautiful burlesque dancers. They need to be Olive Oyl thin. They need to be fat. They need to be prepared to take the piss out of themselves. As a woman it’s uncomfortable watching a burlesque performance. Some poor girl stumbling around on a pair of heels she can barely manage. I’m like, for god’s sake, chuck on some thongs, love, and do the nutbush, now that would be original. And funny. But no, it’s always about emulating the fetishistic past. Feather boa wrapped around her neck like a poultry noose. Pouting lips. Betty Page Fringe. Gotta have a Betty fringe. But Betty had her own cultural context. Pretending to be Betty has none. It’s empty emulation. Don’t get me wrong, I’m no prude. It’s just that if I want to see you do burlesque then you better give me something contemporary, something that gives me a reason to be watching you make a half naked spectacle of yourself. I usually watch with a growing sadness that someone wanted to be a stripper but couldn’t cut the mustard. I’ve tried pole dancing; those sluts are fit. If I wanted to see a stripper I’d go to a strip show. But I don’t want to see a strip show. I don’t actually even want to see burlesque. Because I don’t think it is burlesque. It’s just women dancing in their undies. If you are going to put on a burlesque show, then you better get some edge. Get your breasts to send smoke signals, toot a song with your bum cheeks or drink a beer with your vagina. Otherwise, put on your clothes and go make me a cup of tea. Because that’s always satisfying.

Does human behaviour and response fascinate you as much as weird little cows in bottles? I find them both extremely fascinating. My house is a museum. I spend time tracking down my next Freak and that’s what I totally get off on. I love influencing people by picking up on psychological subtleties. I use my five senses to create the illusion of a sixth. How do you manage risk/fear? I am 100 per cent confident. I never get nervous. I plan my stunts thoroughly, which alleviates any fears. I am invincible!

world creating hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of publicity for the festival. Where have you been and what have you been doing since your last shows at the Byron Community Centre – the last time we spoke you were sword swallowing with sharks... any new world records? I have performed in more than 30 countries and I now hold seven Guinness World Records for my extreme skills. It has been three years since I have performed in Byron Bay. I was born in Byron and I am very happy to be back!

Tell me about a trick that went horribly wrong. I put a knife through my hand and out the other side in a show at the Adelaide Fringe in 2004. I spent a week in hospital. Apart from that there’s been a few close calls but I am very careful with the risks I take.

What should we expect for this show? I have a bunch of new and exciting things that I am very keen to show the people of Byron.

Tell me about a trick that went horribly right. I swallowed 27 swords for the Street Performance World Championship in Dublin and made it into almost every major newspaper in the

Catch him in one of his three shows this weekend - at the Byron Theatre, Friday at 8.30pm, Saturday at 5.30pm and 8.30pm and Sunday at 7pm. Tickets at the venue.

Are you an alien? Maybe we all are?

What drew you to becoming politically active? It’s not political, it’s my human right to stand up against injustice and corruption. How do you cope with the general apathy of most of Australia? Do you think we need a wake up call? My grandfather always told me when I was young, “When you go out there you learn about those white people and you work out what makes them tick and then you work with them to find a good way forward”. Yes, Australia needs a wake up call. With so much in this world to be passionate about, why are so few people passionate? There are a lot of passionate people out there that I have met. All we need to do is to put our heads and resources together and work as one.

Natural-born leader and first-born Australian, the world renowned, award winning Kerrianne Cox is coming to town. This Australian singer/songwriter began singing at an early age learning the old songs from the elders of her ancestral home of Beagle Bay in the threatened Kimberleys, Western Australia. Kerrianne appeared in Bran Nue Dae before winning the Best Indigenous Artist of the Year WAMi award in 1997. Other awards include NAIDOC’s Female Artist of the Year 2000, the Deadlys Best Female Artist 2001, the Yvonne Cohen Award for Creative Indigenous Youth (2005), and the NAIDOC National Artist of the Year (2005). Kerrianne has performed internationally and throughout Australia including at major events such as 2002 Message Stick at the Sorry Day concert at the Sydney Opera House, WOMADelaide 2003 and the 2008 Festival of Pacific Arts. She appears at the Mullumbimby Drill Hall on Sunday. Seven caught up with Kerrianne leading up to her show. Kerrianne, how do you see yourself as a musician? Since I can remember I’ve had a great love for music and performance which inspired me to create a better life for myself. Sharing my stories inspires people to share their story. What are the stories that you tell with your song? It is about my life experiences, the great belief I have in myself to achieve the impossible, the love of my culture and the special people who have supported me along the journey. What is your spiritual / political message in your music? To make a positive change, you must make positive change within yourself and then the world around you.

You talk of moving Indigenous communities towards independence and self determination. Tell me what this looks like in your political picture. Our people want to go home to their homelands. We want our country back as the Original Sovereigns. We don’t want to be told what to do anymore. We know what we need in our lives, you just need to listen and support us. It’s time to heal the past and set the future straight for our children. We don’t have to live separate lives. We want you to truly get to know us and experience our way. Our way, your way, creates a new way. How do you open the eyes and hearts of broader Australia? Are we open to change? By teaching them the true History of Australia and sharing with them the oldest living culture on Earth today. It’s still so much harder being a blackfella in this country, (ironically your place) with many more social inequities to deal with, alongside shockingly short life expectancies. How do you stop yourself becoming consumed with rage? Music helps me to channel my frustrations and difficulties into songs giving positive growth and clarity. As a community, alongside a lot of the gains are still a lot of struggles. What is the secret to Indigenous resilience? How would you feel if somebody told you how to live? And planned your whole future– ‘because they knew what was best for us’ ? How would you feel? I am always profoundly moved by songs about country or singing in language... I’ve never felt a connection to place with Advance Australia Fair – do you think it’s time we moved past ‘Welcome to Country’ and introduced an Indigenous national anthem? There are songlines spread all over this country. Theses songs need to be sung again to activate Country. It is also important to us to be greeted and welcomed to the homelands of people upon which we stand. This way we are looked after by the ancestors of the land. What is your vision for your community in the next decade? To continue supporting individuals and families to heal and get on top of life again. Reversing the cycle of violence and restoring the core family unit.

Why do you think song is such a powerful medium? Because everybody enjoys a good song.

How do you see your role as a woman, a musician, (a mother?) and a leader? It is a big responsibility and I am proud of who I am and what I achieve every moment in life.

How would you explain your connection to the earth? Does this translate into your music? It’s my birthright, my culture and my music.

What should we expect for your Byron show? Get ready to have your minds blown and your hearts opened as I take you on the journey with me home.

PETER AND THE SOULSHAKERS AT THE RAILS ON FRIDAY

If you missed the wonderful performance of Peter C & The Soulshakers at the Mullumbimby Festival, now is the chance to see and hear one the the finest bands in this area. At the Rails on Friday, you won’t be disappointed. Their mix of blues, funky grooves and soul coupled with some outstanding local musicians makes for a great night of music.

Where there’s Fumes Having just notched up another swag of great reviews and healthy crowds with Elliot Brood from Canada in tow on an east coast capital city tour, The Fumes quickly announce round two with another fine Canadian act in Carmen Townsend joining them as special guest support. The Fumes stripped it back a tad and delivered tracks not heard for some time on the run in October and fans can expect more of the same in December with a good dash of rock this time.

1 Gilmore Crescent Byron Bay www.bys.org.au Dear Man, You are the active pole on earth and needed like the sun – shining with honest care, in love, on to a woman. She is like the earth – she receives, she gives, she knows. We are this beautiful life. In this self-made world man learned to show off, it is easy for you but are you brave enough to stand up for love? Be true – be simple and give your honest love and care and make sweetly and rightly love to her. It is a woman’s delight and need to grow with you and glow in love. It is your most fulfilling task. For this to be, you will have to give up selfish, restless sex. Be still, drop your demand, enjoy moment to moment life. Love life. Do you excite yourself with sex-thought? It overstimulates you. It makes you dishonest in love, so you just take, but you should ask and learn to give right love. We are influenced as a child... take a drug, get used to sex, be sexy, show off, be greedy, give your attention to the newest invention, get excited... nothing will be good enough for long and such greediness supports the sex business. Worldwide he manipulates young women to play sexy for him, to be his sex object and if she makes sex with such a selfish demanding ungiving man it makes her like him. Infected and made discontent, both feel dependent on stimulation, for in truth they have not made love and so they say ‘let’s have some fun with a drug...’ Hey man, give up, you can’t just take what you want, you can’t just take love! You have to give to a woman. Life’s love is her gift to you, if you have earned it. A woman today can be honest to man. If he is not honest, do not give to him, wait until he demonstrates true love. If you are honest, moment to moment and give to what is good and right, you simply feel well from the inside. With such a woman of love, you will listen to her carefully. Love is easily broken, it has to be made fresh, new, no other body belongs to you. Each of us has to stand up for love. Life felt inside is reflected in beautiful earth, universe – I belong to you. From a Woman.

Alison Wonderland is armed with a killer smile, a pair of sneakers and a playlist of perfectly crafted beats and remixs from the latest indie treats, hip hop flutterings and disco funk stylings. This petite pirate has been commandeering decks all around the country.

She will be cutting and sewing up tracks at the Hotel Great Northern on Sunday.

THE KELLY GANG AT THE HOTEL BRUNSWICK ON FRIDAY

ALISON WONDERLAND AT THE HOTEL GREAT NORTHERN ON SUNDAY

Two of the hottest Brisbane bands are coming to Durrumbul Hall for a Saturday night summer’s celebration of grooves. Hailing from Brisbane’s West End, KOOii’s dynamic and original live show defines easy categorisation. There’s an evident affinity with reggae, afrobeat, and funk music. Backed by a five-piece rhythm section (including members of Oka and Spankinhide), horns and three-part vocal harmonies, the live show is a must see, must dance experience.KOOii’s founder and frontman is Peter Hunt, a soulful singer, songwriter, trumpeter and star on the rise. Spankinhide is Queensland’s most dynamic and powerful African rhythm and dance ensemble. Performing traditional rhythms and dances from West Africa alongside ‘New Ancient beats’ from Zimbabwe and the Congo, they deliver dazzling live shows of precision, exotically costumed choreography, and riveting, syncopated, pulsating rhythms. Saturday at Durrumbul Hall, Main Arm. 8pm. All tickets at the door $18/$15 concession.

Nine Lessons and Carols The original service of Nine Lessons and Carols derives from a service which the clergyman E W Benson first gave in a wooden hut in Cornwall, UK, on Christmas Eve, 1880. Benson went on to become Archbishop of Canterbury and the service went on to become one of the most widely popular services in the Christian calendar, thanks to its being revamped by, and broadcast

annually from, Kings College, Cambridge. Locally the music is selected and the choirs prepared by organist and musical director of two Lismore churches, Warren Whitney. The service always commences with solo soprano singing ‘Once in Royal David’s City’ before being joined by the choir and then the congregation. Hymn singing, familiar and unfamiliar Christmas music are all presented between the nine short Bible readings celebrating the birth of Jesus. Presented by a combined choir including choristers from St Andrew’s Anglican Church, Lismore and St Carthage’s Cathedral, Lismore. Dates Below. Friday 7.30pm, St Mary’s Anglican Church, Ballina Sunday, 7.30pm, St Andrew’s Anglican Church, Lismore and Tuesday 7.30pm, St Martin’s Anglican Church, Mullumbimby. Free Admission. All welcome.

Christmas concert ‘We are such stuff as dreams are made of.’ Shakespeare’s words are taken to heart by members of the Lismore Symphony Orchestra as they seek to share the magic of classical music with their many friends and supporters throughout the region. The Christmas variety concert will include popular carols, for which the orchestra will be joined by a 50+ voice choir. There will also be a selection from Australia’s favourite classical music, as voted by listeners to ABC Classic FM. Among the latter is Grieg’s Piano Concerto No1 played by our own resident harpist/pianist, Margaret Curtis, and excerpts from Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture. Both concerts at the Lismore City Hall, Saturday, at 8pm and Sunday at 2pm. Tix: $15/10

Don’t be Shybaby Next Friday sees the debut of exciting new rock act Shybaby. Comprising seasoned local pros, Shybaby deliver a punchy mix of contemporary and classic rock for those who prefer their Stones more Rolling than Angus and Julia, their Jack more Daniels than Johnson and their Boys more Beastie than Backstreet. Fronted by the talented (and crackingly hot) Shiny Lefai and with a mission of “be different, rock hard and put on a show”, Shybaby will have you out of your seat and thirsty for more. Catch them on Friday at the Middle Pub in Mullum from 8pm. SHYBABY AT THE MIDDLE PUB IN MULLUMBIIMBY ON FRIDAY

Shorts zipping up There’s only a few weeksleft to enterthe 3rd annual ‘Byron All Shorts’ competition, presented by iQ Arts & Eco Centre Byron Bay. RED BELLY BLACK AT WHIAN WHIAN HALL ON FRIDAY NIGHT AND THE RAILS ON SATURDAY

On your Belly Red Belly Black come out of hibernation for another couple of gigs this weekend, at Whian Whian Hall on Friday night and the Rails on Saturday. Armed with acoustic guitar, keyboards, double bass and drums, Red Belly Black play original ‘bush rock’ with songs about escaped convicts, bank robbers, speedfueled truck drivers and ghosts on the highway. They will be joined at Whian Whian Hall by high energy blues duo Repentance Creek and the sweet sounds of Bassix. Entry is $10/8 and it kicks off at 8pm. The Rails gig kicks off at 7pm.

Jimmy is Willing in the Beer Garden of Eden After my rave about mediocre Burlesque, let me assure you that Jimmy Willing presents the goods. With a love of the bent and twisted, Mr Willing scours the country for people weirder then himself. Lismore is in for a tempting treat when Brisbane burlesque queen Bertie Page arrives in town. Fresh from The Edinburgh Fringe and a European tour to boot, her trunks overflowing with costumes, Bertie Page will star as Eve in Jimmy Willing’s brand new show The Beer Garden of Eden. The Beer Garden of Eden was inspired by a play on words made about Jimmy’s garden show by local columnist, S Sorrensen. Willing ran with idea and the result is a hillbilly burlesque show of biblical proportions. Alongside of the luring Bertie, The Beer Garden of Eden will feature her mates Lena Marlene, Red Devotchkin, Bubbles, BB le Buff, The Devil and Lismore’s very own son Circus the Singing Dog. Set to the sounds of The Good Ship, Black Train and The Real Gone Hick-Ups there is little doubt that this will be anything less than a garden of earthly delight. Northern Rivers Hotel. Corner of Bridge & Terania Streets, North Lismore. 8pm Friday.

Getting Knickered this Christmas It’s hysterical, the one week I decide to lambast boring burlesque, I get two submissions about burlesque and they’re both very credible candidates. If you want to check out how good burlesque can be, see Jimmy Willing’s show in Lismore on Friday or paint yourself into a corner at Dr Sketchy’s Burlesque Life Drawing on Tuesday at the Byron Brewery. Returning to the Catwalk are two Sketchys favourites! First up is gorgeous redhead, the captivating Miss Victoria. Victoria will melt the pens and hearts and fire up the loins of adoring artists with her seductive burlesque routines and dangerous curves. Joining Vic will be Miss Scarlett Skyrockett, our favourite aerial performer whose death-defying routines and stunning sensuality will leave all bohemians baying for more. There’s also a surprise third model who’s rumoured to be dropping by. Of course, MC Miss Mae Wilde will tease and taunt the audience mercilessly! Bring your own non-messy art materials, get there from 6pm for a 6.30pm start. $15 and over 18.

North of the border An excited crowd of 450 keen artists, art lovers, friends and supporters attended the award presentation of the Border Art Prize last Friday evening (3 December). The award is open to artists from northern NSW and southeast Queensland who reside in the Tweed Shire Council, Gold Coast City Council and adjoining council areas. As an open award this means a huge display of diverse artwork by professional, amateur and emerging artists. For many people this exhibition is the first time that their artwork has been shown publicly. Sydney Artist James Powditch agreed to judge and selected the three major prize winners. First prize of $3000 went to Emma Gale of the Byron Shire for her painting titled ‘Red Faced Panda’. Second Prize of $1500 was won by Suzanne Healy from Tweed Shire with her collage titled ‘Summer holiday – let’s boogie’. And the $500 third prize went to Meredith Crowe from Byron Shire with her painting ‘Tyagarah Turf Farm after rain’.

In Good Spirits If you want to see something that will totally blow your tiny mind then pop into the Byron Theatre at the Community Centre this Thursday for a screening of The Spirit Molecule. This documentary is described as a psychedelic Baraka meets What the Bleep do We Know. The Spirit Molecule presents an intriguing discourse on the science of the soul, and unravels fascinating parallels in neurology, quantum physics and human spirituality. 7pm.

The Byron Shire Echo December 14, 2010 31

Television Guide 1. A rom-com about the publishing world, Suburban Girl (TEN, Friday, 8.30pm), failed to go ballistic at the box office despite the presence of Sarah Michelle Gellar, better known to true fans as Buffy the Vampire Slayer. 2. Director and all-round zany guy Mel Gibson indulges his fetishes for ultra-violence and strange costumes in Apocalypto (SBS1, Saturday, 10.25pm), which has as much to do with Mayan culture as the purported end of the world in 2012. 3. Clive Owen plays the bad guy opposite Denzil Washington in Inside Man (TEN, Sunday, 8.30pm), a bank heist/ hostage thriller directed by Spike Lee.

Mungo’s Crossword first published in The Week.

E ARIES: Being confrontational this week could burn bridges, while alternative C-words like calm, control, concede and compromise will protect your interests. Maintain your truth without challenging anyone else’s and take three deep breaths before you say or decide anything. Don’t forget to have fun as well. F TAURUS: With general energetics edgy, defensive, tense and argumentative, guess who’s playing peace keeper this week. You’ll feel like being blunt but treat complaints, however unreasonable, like the cry for help they are, then reward yourself with something utterly indulgent during Friday’s Taurus moon. G GEMINI: Decisions aren’t easy for anyone this week, but don’t jump in just because you’re impatient. Think before you commit and avoid insistent bulldozers who won’t take no for an answer. That said, plenty of interesting temptations beckon and aren’t you just so ready to succumb… H CANCER: With its pre-xmas tizz, this itchy and scratchy week sends out an SOS to your caring, sharing, understanding Cancerian side. If your plans hit snags, do what you do best and think laterally. You bounce back quickly from minor setbacks, so label all setbacks minor. I LEO: While Leos are born for the spotlight, this week you’ll do your best work directing the action from backstage. Resist amplifying what goes wrong and expand positive possibilities – tread carefully, like a stalking lion, because anything forceful will send this week’s stressy citizens hysterical. J VIRGO: If others aren’t too conscientious about promises or responsibilities, be advised that even you, heaven forbid, could accidentally make mistakes this week. Should that happen, apologise and move on without defending or justifying. Get over it – you’ve got way too much to do and enjoy.

Arianne Caoili’s Women’s World Championship challenge ended last week before it began. Caoili, a 23-year-old ANU student, failed to turn up in Antakya, Turkey, for her first round match against Chinese star Ju Wenjun and was eliminated from the 64 player knockout tournament. Caoili had prepared for the tournament, and believed she had chances to become the first Australian woman to survive

K LIBRA: If this kicks off like a week of mistakes and misunderstandings, lacking in cooperation, it’s also one of changing moods and reversals which can morph adversaries into supportive allies and put teamwork back on the map. So best not take anything at all for granted… L SCORPIO: This week’s certainly not without its exasperating roadblocks and excuses to vent. But Venus is currently buffing up your love lustre, so if you don’t engage in petty power clashes, there’s no reason you shouldn’t be able to turn these into cooperative ventures. M S AGITTARIUS: This week’s new moon in Sagittarius flings open your annual window of opportunity for the coming year and of course you’re raring to take off, but it’s crucial right now to plan for the long term. With enough instant gratification to keep you happy of course… N CAPRICORN: This rough week needs finesse, which fortunately Capricorns have a handle on. So avoid feisty, cranky types who waste time complaining and exercise extra caution when expressing opinions if you don’t want screechy feedback. Couldn’t care? Step on toes then, but expect to hear squeals. O AQUARIUS: Whether out on the town or firing ideas round the Aquarisphere, this week appreciates your creative flair, fresh ideas and adventurous approach – while simultaneously being a minefield of volatile emotions requiring tact and patience or else total abstinence from human intercourse. P P ISCES: Maintaining some kind of inner harmony’s essential for dealing with this rock ‘n’ rollercoaster week’s seasonal treadmill, especially now the past seems to be bleeding into the present. Rest and reflection bring the kind of inspiration that arrives in your mind when it’s not flat chat.

her life in order. A muted palette and a sound design that makes only minimal use of music overlays – in Babou’s flats you can hear the muffled voices of other tenants and the traffic outside – combine with the natural wintery grimness of Ostend to emphasise the emotional austerity of Babou’s world while enhancing her valiant efforts to not be dragged down by it. Aure Atika as Lydie, Babou’s stressed boss, and Chantal Banlier as her frumpy, resentful flat-mate in Ostend are especially good in an outstanding support cast, but it is undeniably Huppert’s movie. She is in every scene bar a brief one in which Esmeralda overhears her mother being gossiped about, and her performance is subtly layered, with a brittleness never far below Babou’s outward stoicism and flightiness. It helps, too, that the camera so loves Huppert’s face. There is an inevitability about the trouble caused by her association with a pair of young ferals and the ending feels a tad contrived (my companion thought it just right), but this is a lovely, nonjudgmental film of quiet mood swings and unforced charm. It is screening this weekend at Mullum Flicks, our local heroes providing much needed alternatives to the multiplexes’ fodder. ~ John Campbell

stall at the markets and it was January. I was bombarded by so many people – I really didn’t know what I had let myself in for!’ And thus began Byron Bay Tea Company.

It started out simply enough. In her small Byron Bay kitchen ten years ago, Sarita Merlo began playing around with different herbs she had purchased at Fundies, experimenting with blends in order to create teas. Having recently graduated in Naturopathy at the Australian College of Natural Medicine in Brisbane, she was already working at a couple of local centres; herbs had always been her favourite part of naturopathy. ‘I was getting a little bit of this and a little of that, blending chamomile with lemon balm and peppermint,’ she was telling me, over tea (naturally, a delicately fragrant oolong) in her Coopers Shoot home. ‘And I thought there must be other people out there wanting therapeutic teas – and what a good thing this could be to go alongside my naturopathy.’ More than that, Sarita perceived that whereas people wanted to be healthy – and in this area were specifically interested in alternative ways to become so – there was little allure in their drinking a bunch of plain herbs. ‘So to get people to drink herbs,’ she resumed, ‘I thought I would create something using real ingredients like vanilla beans which were also palatable, to come up with teas that were also healthy.’ She was aware that there was little around to fill the brief of being not only good for you but genuinely, deliciously drinkable. ‘I don’t think anyone had done it very well,’ she said. ‘There were de-tox teas which everybody hated, but I wanted people to enjoy herbs and benefit from them too.’ It took about a year of experimental blending before Sarita felt she had refined it sufficiently to trial on other people. Her friends were – and to this day remain – willing guinea pigs, but it wasn’t until she took the step of launching her teas at the Bangalow markets that she realised the extent of her products’ excellence. ‘That first year was incredible,’ she recalled. ‘I had this corner

Out of the many interested customers over ensuing markets, one was an employee of Gwinganna Health Retreat in the Gold Coast hinterland. ‘They’ve been a really good customer ever since,’ said Sarita. ‘We’ve worked on doing a signature tea for them.’ Add to that Gaia Retreat and it gradually dawned on Sarita where her niche lay. Retreats today are ‘a great venue for my teas,’ and it’s easy to see why. There are currently 20 types of teas and seven different types of packaging – the packaging itself is stylish and glamorous – the range embracing traditional-style ‘real’ teas such as Earl Grey and English Breakfast, her signature herbal blends with names like Energy and Digest, Immunity and Calming; new herbal ones called Ginger Zing, Dandylicious and Black Magic and the Orientals which include White Tea, Jasmine, Buddha’s Tears and Japanese Quince. Sarita unclasps the lid of a new one called Skin and I inhale the gentle fragrance of tiny dried rose buds which stud the blend of lemongrass, echinacea and nettle, amongst other herbs. These are quite the most beautiful teas – teas with health-giving and healing properties – I have ever encountered. Clearly I am not alone in my enchantment: Byron Bay Tea Company now sells to more than 50 stores, restaurants, spas and retreats Australia-wide, exhibits at Fine Food Australia fairs and has an online store. There could be no better advertisement for her product than the softly-spoken Sarita herself: all flawless skin, bright-eyed slenderness – and yet that irksome wholesomeness is totally exonerated by her mention, as we wound up our chat, that she was shooting off for a glass of wine with a neighbour. Best of all, she still does the markets.

Soap Oprah in a small town Horatio Bitemark Sanders the butler had the valets carefully remove the screaming women from the doorway of the Byron Bay restaurant before our arrival. 'What is all that about, Sanders?' asked Bosworth, somewhat miffed because of one of the ladies in question had suggested, somewhat distastefully, that he look inside himself and embrace the positive. That has never been the intention of Club policy and besides, we prefer to leave looking inside to the domain of our highly-paid proctologists. 'Apparently Miss Oprah Winfrey is dining here, Sir,' replied Sanders, wiping lip gloss from his cuff. 'And who is she when she is at home?' 'She is a television talk show host, Sir.' 'And what species of bird is that?' 'The lady in question has celebrities on her show, interviews them, and generously distributes presents among her audience members, including the current trip to Australia.' 'Extraordinary. And there's a living to be made from that? 'Apparently so, Sir. Miss Winfrey is regarded as extremely wealthy and as one of the most fascinating women on the planet.' 'Even more so than Josephine Baker in her heyday?' 'Yes, Sir.' 'Remarkable, what. There's no accounting for what the public will embrace.' Indeed. The consequences were evident on the face of our maĂŽtre d' who led us excitedly to our table. He seated us rather roughly and

raced off to attend to the needs of said Winfrey, whose table was screened off from hoi polloi and attended by two gigantic men in black suits, curly cables extending from their ears, eyes hidden by dark glasses. Tosser Digby regarded them with curiosity, wondering idly if he could disarm and overpower them before the entrĂŠes arrived. 'Smith & Wesson 380s under their jackets, judging by the bulge,' he said sotto voce to me. 'Spoils the cut of a suit entirely.' 'I remember when Josephine Baker and I took a launch up the Zambezi,' began Bosworth, determined to launch into a reminiscence. 'It was a full moon and she danced naked upon the back of a hippo while singing "If Only Frida Belonged To Me". I doubt that La Oprah has done anything so magnificent.' I recalled that Miss Baker in her youth had had her hands burnt by her employer after putting too much soap in the laundry, which is apropos of the fact that, soon after Bosworth's remarks, Miss Winfrey stormed out of the restaurant with her extensive entourage upon discovering the soap in the bathroom was not organic. We toasted her departure, and the return to tranquillity, with the 2009 Fleeting Nature Of Fame Sauvignon Blanc, while the maĂŽtre d' wept salt tears upon the blurred, autographed napkin of his idol.

tographers and a jet ski driver. The camp taught tips on shooting photos learning to tow and on the final day, having a comp so they could put what they learned into practice. On the second day of the camp the team awoke to perfect peaks all up and down the secluded beach break. They were absolutely chomping at the bit to get out there and show their skills. Coach Bemrose didn’t go easy on them and put them through five hours of heat and surf drills throughout the morning and by lunch time the team was absolutely ready for a well earned rest. Then it was time to bring out the ski and the grommets started to foam out the mouth; they couldn’t wait for their first attempts at launching via the machine. The final day of the camp the groms knew it was comp time and they all had their best contest heads on – each wanted nothing more than to take home the trophy at the end of the camp.

Rain, rain go away: Pro Am will play another day Unfortunately, due to the extraordinary amount of rain over the past few weeks, the decision was made to postpone last Friday’s Ocean Shores ProAm until Monday December 20. The revised date was selected as it dovetails with the Byron Bay Legends Pro-Am which finishes the day before. ‘The weather is not some-

thing we can control, however, the change of date has worked in our favour with more professionals nominating for the event, including PGA Legend Rodger Davis,’ says event organiser Stuart Brady. ‘We are now looking forward to having some good weather and some great golf next Monday and we hope to see everyone there un-

der much better conditions. ‘ With a $10,000 prize purse for the professionals and over $2,000 in prizes for amateurs, this event is shaping up as a great tournament. There are still limited playing spots available, so if you would like to be part of this golfing experience, contact the Ocean Shores Pro-Shop on 6680 1247.

the players and to the chagrin of Coach Potts. The boys want to thank their loyal fans and will be available for autograph signing after bowls. Just think kids, you could have your favourite jersey signed by KB, Baldy, Porky and many more.

The affectionate Lint, a 3 year old ginger and white boy, would appreciate spending Christmas and beyond with a loving family. He deserves to be away from the cages of the shelter. Lint is a special cat, caring for and cleaning the kittens as if they were his, and lazing on the lounge, receiving strokes and cuddles from his human carers. Meet Lint and be touched by his beautiful nature. Please make an appointment to meet them with David on 0411 352 371 Billinudgel www.petsforlifeanimalshelter.org

NYE stallholders and buskers wanted Byron Shire Council is seeking buskers and market stall holders for the low key Byron Bay New Year’s Eve event. Council is supporting this year’s event with a $25,000 funding contribution. Byron Shire Mayor Jan Barham said with the success of recent years, the same formula is being adopted to ensure a safe, low key, community based and alcohol free New Year’s Eve (NYE). ‘Council has maintained its support for New Year’s Eve celebrations on the basis of a providing safe environment by the use of an alcohol prohibition on the streets and parks in Byron Bay and Brunswick Heads. ‘The focus for the night is on low key, family friendly events featuring market stalls, buskers and amusement rides. I en-

courage locals and visitors to enjoy a safe evening of celebration and enjoy the community events,’ Mayor Barham said. The New Year’s Eve event in Byron Bay will feature market stalls amusement rides, buskers and the Samba Blisstas performing from 7.30pm. The event aims to focus activities on the beachfront reserve and minimise the impact on local businesses. The twilight Byron Bay beachfront market will feature food, craft and artisan stalls. Council is particularly keen to hear from stall holders who feature local home made and home grown items, before Friday December 17. Community groups who would like to participate are invited to join in free of charge to showcase their work and activities.
