Is Mullumbimby ready to live in a clean, all-renewable future? A new group of activists believe so, and are inviting everyone to their community awareness day launch on Sunday, October 18 at Mullumbimby Civic Hall, from 4pm to 10pm. Known as COREM (Community-Owned Renewable Energy Mullumbimby), the group are planning panels, forums, information stalls, food and entertainment. Speakers include Katrina Shields, mayor Simon Richardson, SEED, ENOVA, Kindred Youth, Rainbow Power and more. Visit www.corem.org.au for more info.

Roundhouse lots all sold by 11am Fancy a large 1,576m2 block with views in the best spot in Ocean Shores for $330,000? Sorry, but it sold the same morning it went on sale, like the rest of the eleven Roundhouse lots. While that block was one of the lower prices offered by Byron Shire Council, it did spark calls from residents to The Echo that the prices offered were too low. Regardless, the final sale ends a long and protracted battle between residents wanting to retain the site for community use, and Council, who say the money will go toward infrastructure in the suburb. Realtor at Brunswick Profession-
als, Suzanne Eatwell, was commissioned to sell the property and told The Echo that Byron Shire Council independently evaluated the Roundhouse blocks. ‘Regarding pricing, it was Council’s call, and they made a decision based on this valuation.
Queue to buy ‘We had a client fly up from Sydney who arrived over 24 hours before the blocks went on sale. ‘We also had local residents coming into the office during the day taking a place in the queue. ‘One of our staff members stayed overnight to ensure that if a person came to the office during the night
that they did not queue jump. ‘The blocks went on sale at 8.30am, and all of the blocks were sold by 11am. Owing to the build up between when they went to market in late 2013 and now, this has led to keen and committed buyers being ready for the day.’ Byron Shire Council’s general manager Ken Gainger told The Echo, ‘Council was very fortunate in that interest in the blocks was strong. It’s a good result with all of the blocks achieving their maximum valuation totalling $4.405 million. The net proceeds of the sales will now primarily be invested back into community infrastructure.’

Train resisted Hans Lovejoy
With a Byron Bay train station and shed development application (DA) up before Council this Thursday, residents and businesses along the Belongil stretch have again amplified their opposition to the rail project. Elements Of Byron plan to run a diesel rail service along the disused corridor from the $100m resort in Belongil into Byron CBD, but has been met by consistent resistance over its hourly service frequency and a lack of environmental and amenity impact studies. Those residents and businesses have also described the project as a ‘greenwash’, a term to describe a development presented with the appearance of environmental credentials. Council staff support the DA, and their report tabled this week claims 69 public submissions were against, while 42 were for the proposal. A resident most likely to be affected is Bethany Hudson, whose house and bedroom would be within metres of one of the stations. In a letter to councillors, she says, ‘I am directly, irreversibly affected by this in a life-changing way and I hope councillors [can] acknowledge this.’ And a half-page advertisement appears on page 13 to refute claims made by the proponent’s previous ad last week. One of the more interesting aspects is the unclear approval process for its operation and identifying who is the consent authority. Mayor Simon Richardson, an advocate for the service, told The Echo previously that Council could only approve the station and shed DAs,
yet it’s become now clear that Council could have overall input, particularly with environmental considerations. A letter from the environmental protection agency (EPA) to a resident says that as the proposal is on a line less than 30km, the EPA believes that, ‘Council is the consent authority.’ In reply, the mayor said that if correct, it was a good thing that Council will make the decision. Byron Shire Council’s director of sustainable planning and economy, Shannon Burt, confirmed with The Echo that she is in discussion with the applicant and Transport for NSW, ‘about whether it would be considered exempt development under the State Environmental Planning Policy [SEPP].’ ‘If not, a development application will be required for the railway corridor works, and the environmental factors and amenity will form part of the application,’ she said. And yet environmental assessments appear to be on the table; project manager Jeremy Holmes told The Echo that they are required to undertake a ‘baseline contamination investigation prior to the commencement of any works to ascertain any contamination such as asbestos and whether such contaminants may be disturbed, and if so how they will be managed.’ ‘This is required as a condition of the licence,’ he said. As for the consideration of relocating the station owing to its close proximity to residents, Mr Holmes replied it had been explored, ‘in intricate detail’. ‘[It] was not a suitable location for a number of practical, physical continued on page 2

Mayor ‘would have liked to go’ to Cyberotika Chris Dobney
Byron Shire mayor Simon Richardson says he wished he could have attended the Cyberotika dance party that Council staff cancelled last week. Party promoters promised all-night music, live performances and onsite camping at
the 24-hour party, which was to have taken place at the Paradise One resort in Coorabell. But it fell foul of Council staff, who last week sent police to tell the venue owner the event could not go ahead. Mayor Richardson told The Echo that while he hadn’t heard of the event prior to the staff decision to refuse it

permission, it sounded ‘cool’. He said that the reason for the cancellation was complaints by nearby residents. In such circumstances, he said, council staff were ‘required by law to act’.
No Council approval Council’s sustainable development manager, Wayne Bertram, said the event did not have Council approval. ‘The venue only had approval for a rural tourist facility with a restaurant that can seat a maximum of 72 people for lunch and dinner and closes at 10pm. ‘That’s a considerable difference from a 24-hour dance party with hundreds of patrons,’ he added.
Cape Byron Steiner held its fair last weekend, with the theme ‘Seed To Soul.’ Co-organisers Tanja and Lisa said, ‘While P&F may auspice the Spring Fair, it is… the individuals and families of this school, who share equally in the success of the event, and endow it with the true qualities of a healthy community.’ Pictured are Bella and Remi.

Residents fight to retain Mullum’s hospital land A group aiming to reclaim land once gifted to the community for use as a health facility will be holding a public meeting from 7pm on Thursday, September 17 at the Mullumbimby Civic Hall. Last week retiring Local Health District chief executive Chris Crawford confirmed with The Echo that the valuable Mullum Hospital land was taken over in 2010 by Sydney bureaucrats, despite it being donated by a resident in 1900 with the wish it always remain a health facility for the public. A trust comprising community members was tasked with overseeing the land but The Echo understands the latest four-member group was dissolved by the government when the land was transferred. The Mullumbimby Hospital Action Group say there is a ‘desperate need’ for the Mullum hospital site to be used for aged care, disabled

young adults and victims of domestic violence. While health authorities say locals will be consulted to decide on future uses for the site, they say the old hospital is riddled with asbestos, and they would need to recoup demolition costs with the proceeds of selling it. The group’s D avid Bradbury says, ‘It’s really

and financial reasons, including the fact that it is outside of our licence area. ‘Ms Hudson’s home would be 40m from the station and is buffered by heavy vegetation and a waterway.’ The Echo also asked why Mr Holmes considered an hourly rail service reasonable, considering that the railway line has never accommodated such a frequency and why the hours they wish to run the service had increased. He replied, ‘I believe the demand is there for this frequency, if not more in peak times. We have not increased the hours. Feedback has been that residents would like a reliable service including one that facilitates going out to dinner in town. We have received a lot of pressure to commit to a timetable, so we have proposed an hourly service in the initial stages of operation so we can accurately gauge the demand.’ Q The full Q&A with Mr Holmes is available on www. echo.net.au
Local MP stands by Shorten With former PM Tony Abbott’s metaphorical blood still fresh on the floor of parliament, The Echo asked local federal Labor MP Justine Elliot if she believed her leader Bill Shorten would last the distance to the next election. She replied, ‘Of course Bill will lead us to the next election. No matter who leads the Liberal National Party, it is still the same party with the same cruel policies which are hurting regional Australia. They’ve still got the $50 billion cuts to hospitals, the $30
billion cuts to schools and the $100,000 university degrees. ‘Malcolm Turnbull is just another out-of-touch, arrogant leader with a chaotic, dysfunctional and divided government. ‘With Bill Shorten as our leader, we will continue to take the fight up to this cruel government and we’ll stand up for a better, brighter future for all Australians.’ Ms Elliot did not reply to whether she would support Tanya Plibersek as prime minister.

Local News Organics service update How are those new green bins doing? According to Byron Council staff, the first month of organics recycling has seen 63 per cent of our total waste recycled, up from 38 per cent under the previous two-bin service. Byron Shire Council’s environmental programs officer, Lloyd Isaacson, said it was a very encouraging result. ‘In August we collected 1,055 tonnes of waste with 31 per cent being organic material, 32 per cent recycling and the remaining 37 per cent going into landfill. ‘That means 63 per cent of what was collected was
reprocessed or recycled. ‘In comparison, during the year 2014–2015, we saw an average of 62 per cent going into landfill and 38 per cent being recycled. ‘We’ve reduced our kerbside waste being sent to landfill waste by over 40 per cent,’ Mr Isaacson said. ‘We are aiming for 70 per cent of our waste to be recycled, and I’m confident we are going to reach that target. We just need everyone in the community to get on board and be a good sort with their waste,’ he said. For more information visit www.byron.nsw.gov.au/ recycling-and-waste.

Former Byron mayor and Greens MLC Jan Barham says that in Byron and Tweed Shires it is estimated there are nearly 2,000 residential properties being used for short term tourism, which equates to up to 5,000 residents who aren’t able to be housed in the local area. ‘Without approval and regulation, the short-term holiday letting of residential premises doesn’t pay its way, but adds to the impacts and costs to Andre Kleinbaum

TAFE education cuts and poor-quality private sector training programs continue to impact on students and staff, according to Greens NSW MP John Kaye. Additionally, a leaked document has exposed a plan to sell the Murwillumbah TAFE building along with other TAFE buildings across the state, according to north coast Greens spokesperson Dawn Walker. She said, ‘The frightening reality is that TAFE is being lined up for substantial downsizing with the clear objective of a smaller public system.’ An upper house committee inquiry into the future of TAFE held public hearings at Wollongbar and Lismore TAFE campuses last Friday.
Dr Kaye says the committee will aim to ensure that MPs from all political parties witness up close the damage that the NSW government’s Smart and Skilled training market has done to the north coast public education system.
Smart and Skilled ‘Since my visit in early August, TAFE in the region has been dealt a further blow with the release of the proposed restructure of the North Coast TAFE Institute.’ The government’s Smart and Skilled program started this year, replacing much of the public-sector teaching with private-sector training providers. Yet the program has attracted wide criticism for its poor educational quality.

Dr Kaye told a budget estimates hearing recently that a young Aboriginal woman from Lismore had completed Smart and Skilled training, ‘But, in her own words, no useable skill came from it. It was a private provider, of course.’ And New Matilda reported in 2012 that a similar program rolled out in Victoria ‘destroyed’ TAFE in that state. ‘[I]n its place, fly-by-night private providers, backed with government money, have taken its place – some enticing students with iPads or cash incentives to enrol in a narrow range of courses.’ TAFE was moved from the education department to the the Industry, Skills and Regional Development cluster earlier next year. The respon-
sibility of TAFE now rests with minister for regional development, skills and small business, John Barilaro. A budget estimate hearing on August 31 led by Labor and the Greens scrutinised education minister Adrian Piccoli and his department. Under questioning, Mr Piccoli refused to give estimates on a ‘bottomless pit’ of $573 million – and counting for – the Learning Management and Business Reform [LMBR] program. Labor’s Walt Secord said, ‘An amount of $573 million has been spent and you are not going to tell us what the end mark is?’ ‘That is right,’ Mr Piccoli, saying it was a confidential cabinet decision.

Where PC rhetoric triumphs Phillip Frazer
Political correctness (PC) is a concept that laces itself through much of our discourse like lawyer vine in rainforest. Politicians who say we should return to the customs of an (imaginary) more secure past blame PC thinking for landing us in the uncomfortable present. A favourite format for anti-PC expression is ‘dog whistling’, in which everyone can hear the words you say but certain other species (eg misogynists, racists, homophobes) hear a different message on another frequency. John Howard’s political strategist Lynton Crosby created the ultimate dog whistling campaign for the British Conservatives with a series of ads all headlined ‘Are you thinking what we’re thinking?’ Each one with a reference to a hot issue such landgrabs by ‘gypsies’, or restraints on police behaviour. The ads never spelled out what Conservatives would do to curb the gypsies or unleash the cops – just the whistle was enough of a message. Today, anti-PC as a worldview is what unites the two

frontrunners for the Republican presidential nomination – Donald Trump and Ben Carson. They are two men who could hardly be further apart on almost every other measure. Trump is accumulating voters by interspersing dog whistles into his standard delivery of incoherent barking, while the sedate and earnest Dr Carson rails against PC in his campaigning.
US presidential frontrunners When Trump got tough questions from Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly, he snarled that you could see the blood coming out of her eyes, ‘or out of her... whatever.’ The message to his hordes of angry older men fans was clear: women can’t be trusted
as commentators – even on Rupert Murdoch’s Fox – let alone presidents, because they periodically, wink nudge whistle, get cranky and unstable, unlike the steady and sane Don. Carson, who is getting more popular by the day for being civil and a terrific doctor, is unleashing his own anti-PCness. When riots broke out in Ferguson, Missouri, following unarmed black teenager Michael Brown’s death, Carson blamed looting and anti-police violence on political correctness, by which he meant women rearranging social relationships. He said, ‘I think a lot of it really got started in the 60s with the “Me” generation. “What’s in it for me?”’ Carson said, continuing, ‘I hate to
say it, but a lot of it had to do with the women’s lib movement. You know, “I’ve been taking care of my family ... what about me?” You know, it really should be about us.’ He was trying to rescue his tortured argument with that nice ‘us not me’ bit, but what he means is that women should take care of the family without complaining about the awful conditions they live in, so their teenage kids won’t complain about killer-cops by breaking windows. Dr Carson is a SeventhDay Adventist, and probably the smartest candidate of the bunch, and it would be PC of me not to mention he’s also black. But what he said there is the essence of the anti-PC mindset.It says that changing unjust social conditions is incorrect politics. But because social conditions do change, constantly, with or without whining women or enraged adolescents, what these blokes are really saying is ‘don’t f*#k with the social conditions I like!’ Q Phillip Frazer posts on www.coorabellridge.com and on the Ngara Institute Facebook page.

Town centre masterplan update Jim Beatson
Will the soon-to-be-completed Byron CBD masterplan be quickly adopted or will it gather dust on a bureaucrat’s bookshelf? With the last session held recently, managing director of consultants McGregor Coxall, Phil Coxall, made the point that embracing a master plan depends on community and council involvement. ‘It’s all about intent’, he said, explaining councils can lack either sufficient funding or intent. Mr Coxall suggested one of several successful masterplan examples worth examining was in Geelong, where their council implemented a leadership group comprising council, community and business representatives.
Areas identified Six key identified areas were discussed, starting with the Butler Street Reserve. The reserve was seen by all as a flexible space that supports edge-of-centre car parking, capable of retaining its role for market uses. Again there was unanimity that the western edge of the railway line
was suited to becoming the bus interchange. This would link Butler Street to an improved railway square, able to support the community through providing family, leisure and pilot activation with temporary opportunities for local artists, performance and a flexible space for other markets. The Lawson Street carpark and Bay Lane were thought to be suited to activating the rear of buildings, prioritising people over cars, and encouraging more creative and local businesses into the town centre. Jonson Street and Bay Lane are proposed as shared zones that flexibly respond to the different users and encourage better pedestrian links to Main Beach. Discussion on the Main Beach area was less united, in particular the swimming pool and foreshore car park. The short-term plan looks to retain and improve both. It proposes upgrades to the pool and a reduction in foreshore carparking to enhance the foreshore public domain experience. McGregor Coxall’s contentious elements are the long-term aspects to the plan. Could the pool move
North Coast news daily: www.echonetdaily.net.au
in the long term? Only if an alternative site is found that offers a better facility for allyear usage. The foreshore carpark removal is also long term, and again would only be implemented if deemed beneficial to the community and supported conditional on accepting car access to Bay Street for the elderly, mobility impaired etc. Inevitably cost issues were never far from discussion. McGregor Coxall’s Land Economics and Planning consultant noted that in areas where councils owned land, Council would be able to retain ownership but grant developments rights to developers in return for funding – a system that allows Council to engage in projects at low risk. It was suggested the same could be done with Crown Land leases and land following discussion with government. The Masterplan project is due to finish in early 2016 with further opportunities for comment in the coming months.

Our quarter century of Middle East blundering
Volume 30 #14
September 16, 2015
Cart before the donkey Are we in the age of the predetermined development? It’s an issue worth exploring, given many local projects are taking shape on the fly, go against expert advice and the majority of unfavourable public submissions are ignored. One strategy appears to be announcing with certainty developments or projects will happen before they’ve actually been approved. Consider the Byron Bay bypass. Councillor’s ‘preferred route’ is yet to examine environmental factors and it seems the impact on Butler Street markets was only just discovered. Consider the Ocean Shores Roundhouse sale by Council. The public submissions against selling it far outweighed those in favour. Consider the Belongil rock wall fiasco. Pushing ahead a legally unclear and environmentally fraught project against expert advice is bad enough, but excluding it from a plan designed to manage the coastline – the CZMP – also reeks of sloppy government. Consider state government bureaucrats taking over managing West Byron as then-planning minister Goward sat silent. Despite the farcical charade of ‘community engagement’, there are still no clear traffic mitigation plans in place. Consider the state government taking over the three Brunswick Heads holiday parks from Council and then siphoning the money away, ignoring a large number of public submissions against. Consider retiring health bureaucrat – Chris Crawford – feebly admitting that under his watch, a valuable chunk of Mullum real estate was taken over by Sydney bureaucrats, despite it being donated by a resident in 1900 with the wish it always remain a health facility for the public. And of course it’s not limited to government – consider the Belongil diesel train, being proposed by the North Byron Beach Resort. Its publicity last week claimed ‘two platforms will be constructed,’ before it was actually decided upon by councillors. Additionally the approval for using the railway line is unclear. As staff said this week (see page one), they are still ‘in discussion’ about whether it would be considered exempt development under the State Environmental Planning Policy (SEPP). Is the Ewingsdale Seniors development which surrounds the new Byron Central Hospital also predetermined? We know residents there are not that keen with its proposed size. And then there’s paid parking in Byron Bay… Consultation and due process can be frustrating, but unwanted and inappropriate development will continue to occur unless developments are given adequate scrutiny and transparency.
I
t is easy to be cynical about the outcry over the corpse of 4-year-old Aylan Kursi, found washed up on a beach just a little over a week ago. He was just one of many victims of the wars in Syria and Iraq, but he was the one that mattered: suddenly there was an surge of international compassion which eventually engulfed Australia, changing Tony Abbott’s stance from yet another repetition of his slogan ‘Stop the Boats’ to an unexpected outburst of decency and generosity towards refugees – well, some of them, anyway. But there was another, perhaps more profound, movement in the government, as the magnitude of the exodus from the conflicts became a rout, and media finally took notice. The Defence minister Kevin Andrews acknowledged to the Fairfax press that the West needed what he called ‘a clearer strategy’ for the Middle East. What a good idea, even if it has been a long time coming. Australia became embroiled in the region some 24 years ago, when the Hawke government sent a contingent to help the Americans oust the Iraqi invaders from Kuwait. Then a decade later, the Howard government offered support for Shock and Awe, an American invasion of its own against Iraq. And now, of course, Tony Abbott has involved us in escalating and open-ended wars in both Iraq and Syria. In the interim we have had six prime ministers, eight foreign ministers and 12 defence ministers, and not one of them have bothered to tell us just what we were trying to do there. Admittedly in 1991 it was relatively straightforward: we were there to help ‘liberate’ Kuwait – in other words to restore
the brutal dictatorship of the ruling al-Sabah family. The exercise benefitted no-one except the monarch and his plutocratic cronies, but they were the ones protecting the oil interests, so it was judged a success. But then when George Bush decided to topple another dictator, Saddam Hussein, once again we were in it with our ears back. This was first justified to a sceptical public as destroying Saddam’s weapons of mass destruction, but that was not very convincing, so there was talk about the need to promote democracy (by

by Mungo MacCallum which was really meant Western capitalism) in the region. After a longer and bloodier struggle Saddam was duly toppled and eventually killed; a ruthless but stable secular despot was replaced by a corrupt and dysfunctional sectarian puppet, so we declared victory and went home, leaving the remaining Iraqis to try and clean up the mess. Unsurprisingly they failed, and after years of instability, terrorism and something very close to civil war, Islamic State moved into the vacuum; so of course we went back – once more at the Americans’ behest, as conveyed by the most recent Iraqi government. This time was are aiming to degrade and destroy the Daesh death cult, and for many months this has been deemed sufficient; what happened next was just too hard to contemplate.

clude the United States and their (our) allies, among them the Saudis and other Arab nations as well as sections (but only sections) of the west. Then there are the Russians, the Iranians the Turks, all of whom have their own agendas. And within Syria itself the baleful presence of Bashar alAssad, another thoroughly unpleasant but stable and secular dictator who started as another candidate for toppling, but is now a kind of dormant being, certainly still a baddie but a less worsie; if we can ever get around to it, we may have to deal with him in discourse. First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin. According to a report in The Australian, Abbott and his foreign minister are preparing a plan to take to Washington and London about ‘ramping up’ diplomatic efforts to remove Assad and his regime; well, good luck with that.
In the meantime, we will just have to keep on bombing any IS targets we can find (not a lot, apparently) and hope something turns out. Andrews has opined, somewhat optimistically, the war will take two or three years; Abbott, more realistically, won’t put a time on it: however long it takes. Given that we first walked into the mess nearly a generation ago, you wouldn’t want to hold your breath. So why, really, are we there? What is our strategy? The only common factor seems to be that we are supporting the United States, much as we did in Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan – wherever. And it should be said that none of these could be claimed as real successes; Korea ended with a country split in two after stalemate, Vietnam with a defeat, and Afghanistan with a retreat. Iraq and Syria could well be the worst of all, longer, messier, and in the end without any real solution: a bloodbath preceding chaos, a mass exodus of displaced people deserting the ruins of at least two, perhaps more, ungovernable countries. The situation may be retrievable; somewhere, sometime, there may be a genuine strategy, a master plan to produce a kind of peace, even allowing the return of some of the millions of refugees and preventing more deaths like that of Aylan Kursi. But if there is we have seen no sign of it so far; things are quite simply blundering on, from the appalling to the unthinkable. So Kevin Andrews is right: we need a clearer strategy. But wouldn’t it have been a smart idea to have thought of that before we jumped in?

Love-bombing or just love bombing? Q It is so comforting to see our government show some compassion at last. We first save the Syrian Christians before we bomb the heathen Muslims into oblivion. Makes Pol Pot look like a saint. Ron Bay Suffolk Park Q At
last the Abbott government has shown it does not have two ‘tin ears’ when it comes to the huge mood swing in Australia since the recent publication of the heart-rending photos of the drowned Turkish toddler. Australia’s pledged increased intake of refugees is to be commended, provided the selection process is not tampered with to pander to the anti-Muslim, pro-Christian elements in the coalition, and provided the 12,000 person intake is truly additional and happens within the proposed time frame. What surprises me though is the absence of the United States in this whole issue of the rest of the world stepping
Mullum hospital Mullum hospital should not be knocked down. To do so is bureaucratic vandalism. It should continue as a community asset for the homeless or women and children on the run from violent partners, drug rehab for our young who have a tsunami of ice and other drugs sweeping over them or for old-age
up to solve the ‘worst refugee crisis since the end of WWII’. After all, it was the USA, in concert with Blair, Howard and other warmongers in the Coalition of the Willing, that laid the groundwork for the incredible instability now swirling through the Middle East. Their illegal and duplicitous Shock and Awe attack on Iraq in 2003, and their failure to win the war or the subsequent ‘peace’, is a shocking indictment of George W Bush and his neocon advisers. Where are they now to mop up some of the mess they created? If Germany can take 800,000 refugees, the USA intake should be in the millions. The only person to my knowledge who has publicly spoken about the American invisibility in this matter is Geoffrey Robertson on last week’s Q&A. Where is the rest of the commentariat in naming the elephant in the room? George Lewin Montecollum accommodation. The asbestos in the roof in the main building is contained and does not exist in the A&E wing of the hospital or birthing unit which were built later. The dirty word ‘asbestos!’ is a furphy being used by senior bureaucrats to excuse bulldozing the whole building and selling the valuable real estate to the highest bidder to pay
Q I would like to nominate the German chancellor Angela Merkel for the next Nobel prize for peace. Almost alone of all the world leaders, and our local politicians, she has shown compassion and sympathy for the Syrian refugees regardless of her electoral popularity in her own country. Well done, and may she be an inspiration for our Canberra politicians. Harald Ehrlich Suffolk Park Q Want to help refugees? Help Lebanon, Jordan, and Turkey. Invest now, help now, and make it sustainable. People leaving UNHCR camps, heading into Europe, now, and Abbott wants to spend $700 million over four years to help just 12,000 people? No. Invest $500 million, at least, and invest it now. Invest in Lebanon, Turkey and Jordan, and send in entrepreneurs to set up factories. People are not fleeing Syria. They are leaving camps in Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan.

They want work, not handouts. The Gulf states do not attract them; perhaps they have had enough of sharia and exploitative employers, and who can blame them? Let us invest in job creation, not welfare. Support the countries carrying the weight of millions. Investing in Lebanon in particular should be easy for Australia, given our excellent cultural connections. Taking 12,000 refugees over four years may feel good, but our objective is to help the maximum number of people at the moment they need help. The real solution is to help people help themselves. We can provide jobs, immediately, in construction. We can set up low-skilled factory sites within months if we put our minds to it. We did it in the 1940s during another war; why not now? Refugees need help now. They need jobs, and they need the opportunity to get busy. Matt Hartley Byron Bay

Letters continued from page 9 dealing with for several years now – his chronic inability to come clean about his plans and the impact his business activities have on those whose properties are adjacent to his. He has persisted with this myth that somehow these serial applications have been to do with the running of his agricultural business and the necessary movement of vehicles carrying supplies and equipment onto and away from the property. Now, confronted with the reality of a website advertising his ministorage business, he seeks approval for his customers to encroach on the amenity (and safety) of the Pinegroves Road residents at weekends as well. Importantly, the weekends are the time when children, pets, strollers in the area are most at risk of being injured by the traffic that this business generates. It’s a recipe for an injury that none of us want to witness and the risk of which can be minimised by having this latest development application rejected out of hand. Graham Mathews Myocum

Good news story Now finally there is a goodnews story. We have the power to help inject up to $300 million into the local community and create employment for our young. That’s the money paid annually by 130,000 households between Grafton and Tweed to electricity companies like Origin, AGL and others – many of them heavily invested in coal seam gas exploration and dirty power generation. There’s also a raft of new ‘green’ electric-
ity retailers; however, when you talk to them you’ll find that you are on the phone to someone in Melbourne of New Zealand. Let’s keep the money here instead. The good news is that we can invest in the very first community-owned renewable-energy company in Australia right here in Byron Shire. Recently I went to Enova’s community meeting. I was impressed by the lineup of directors, who have listed their 100 per cent renewable energy company with ASIC and are open for business. It’s a fabulous investment opportunity and I have now taken advantage of their share offer. Their objective is to be a 100 per cent renewable energy retailer, including a local call and service centre, improved feed-in tariffs for PV solar and funding local renewable-energy projects. There are 26,000 households on the north coast with PV solar on the their rooftops, one of the highest uptakes in the country. Enova’s rationale is to attract ten per cent of these people as investors into Enova to make it a viable venture. They have set September 25 as their deadline to attract $3million and will start operating as a retailer

more international fame after hits such as The Loved One and Ever Lovin’ Man. Unfortunately the lead singer, Gerry Humphrys, died in 2005 at the tender age of 61 or 62. He had a fabulous voice, which only grew deeper and raspier with age and, perhaps surprisingly, he was also a talented trad jazz clarinettist. This memory led me on
to reminisce – it’s a drug almost as dangerous as ice – about the 1968 tour by The Who, The Small Faces and Paul Jones. The Stadium’s revolving stage got stuck halfway through in the first session, so the promoters let us into the second session free and we watched it all over again. I remember The Faces’ singer Steve Marriot (Rod
Stewart came along after 1969) complained about someone throwing pennies at them and threatened to close down the performance. Milesago.com reports the tour ‘was unfortunately a disaster in many respects’, partly because of the hostility of the Oz press, but my mates and I had a grand evening. Thinking about The Faces reminded me of my dear brother Peter (1941–2004). One of The Faces’ huge psychedelic hits in 1967 was Itchycoo Park. It appealed greatly to acid (LSD) heads and my bro and his friends renamed the delightful Cooper Park in Bellevue Hill, Sydney, where they took several of their trips, Itchycoo in the song’s honour. ‘It’s all too beautiful.’
about a flesh fine? If the government wants to stimulate the economy and reduce carbon emissions, it should extend the GST to include meat and other animal-based foods. We have to pay taxes on cigarettes, alcohol and petrol to help offset the health and environmental costs of these items, so it’s not too much of a leap to expect people to pay extra for unhealthy – and unnecessary – foods that harm people and animals, waste resources and contribute heavily to climate change. According to the Worldwatch Institute, the production of animal-based foods is responsible for more than half of the world’s total
greenhouse-gas emissions. The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation estimates that ruminant animals, mainly cattle and sheep, are responsible for 55 million tonnes – or ten per cent – of Australia’s total greenhousegas emissions, just by ‘enteric fermentation’ – in other words, belching and farting. If the government were to levy the current ten per cent GST on every kilogram of meat sold in grocery stores and restaurants – as well as each dairy item and carton of eggs – it would raise an estimated $3 billion for government coffers and also give people another incentive to try tasty vegan foods, which
would, in turn, help to reduce the nation’s carbon footprint and its healthcare costs. Vegan foods are relatively inexpensive compared to meat, eggs and dairy products – especially if you factor in all the medical bills that you can rack up if you eat a lot of fatty, cholesterolladen animal-sourced foods that often contribute to heart disease, diabetes, cancer and other common illnesses. If people ate more vegan foods, they’d not only save money but also save animals, the environment and possibly their own lives. Des Bellamy Special Projects Coordinator, PETA Australia Byron Bay

As determinedly reflective codgers, some friends and I were the other day discussing online the great music concerts of the Early Jurassic Period, more commonly known as the sixties.

What, no visa? The European migrant crisis Daniel Sage
Like King Canute sat on his chair on the surf, Europe’s politicos are helpless before the ever-rising influx of refugees washing up on beaches, hiding in car engines, doing anything and everything to get here. All year, Europe has been agonising about what to do with the migrants flooding over, nay, desperately crawling in by hook or crook. Each country takes it personally, too, hypersensitive to how their contributions or attractiveness compares to other countries. They want to come to Britain! Of course, they do. It’s so lovely. But it’s ours. They can’t. They can go to Germany, or Sweden. Why don’t they go back home? Let’s make it safe for them at home. Then they won’t want to come here in the first place. But we can’t make it safe at home. Look what happened last time we tried to fix up someone else’s problems, Iraq and all that. Libya! Nooo! For most people here, east of Europe is now seen as a moving maze of upheaval. A mess far beyond
the clearing-up capabilities we pride ourselves on. Wasn’t Syria the enemy? Now we have to help them? What are the Russians doing anyway? What is Isis’s problem?! Add all the countries, one by one, into the mix – Israel, Pakistan, Sudan, Iran, and so on – and the result is a stew that few can make out. Yet screens everywhere offer the latest detail. The overanalysis can lead to a focus on trivia, or a numbing to the scale and immediacy of what is happening. But the misery is real and staring us in the face. And nobody knows what to do. History shows how the assimilation of refugees can work. Countries absorbed millions during the crises of the twentieth century, from the pogroms of Russia to the Rwandan terror. And many prosperous nations, the US and Australia chief among them, were built, of course, by immigrants from everywhere. What’s so scary now for politicians and commentators alike is the knowledge this is not a short-term problem. To shut the door or limit

access ignores the full understanding more will be banging on it, and then more, and then more. The world’s population has doubled since 1970 (trebled since 1950) to nearly eight billion today. Four people are born every second! In 2050, we will be ten billion. Resources are precious. Water, food, energy – all have to be shared around more. And our species is not always good at sharing. The kindness in us wants to reach out and to help, to
shelter, save, accommodate, rescue. But we are caught stock-still, unable to pitch in unless everyone does. And our leaders are mostly conservative. So there is a spasm in the heart of humanity. Many grassroots activities are taking shape. New media allows us to connect and contribute. But the fundamental problem remains. And it’s not helped by elements of hypocrisy. We sell an incredible number of arms to the very countries we say need peace.
In some ways, a border is an imaginary thing. Jointly, we agree to them, until we don’t, and then there may be a war or a debate or a standoff. In the same way, nationalism is a fiction, one we all buy into like a religion. Countries are convenient, and sophisticated, organising tools for our families and communities. Our economic system, ditto. We agree to the rules and so the whole game spins. In the past eight years, since the global financial crisis, one of the main tools of recovery among leading developed nations has been to print more money. North of ten trillion dollars has been pumped into the system, yet we know we’re not clear yet. China is the latest super-wobble. UK interest rates have been stuck at 0.5 per cent for six years. Part of the reasoning for quantitative easing is a belief that something, somehow, will come along to chivvy the whole system back to life. What we need is a new megatrend, and with it, jobs, trade, new ways of doing things, the whole enchilada. A prime challenger in the wings is almost upon us – the internet of things (IoT). As
the internet connects up all our everyday devices – from jogging bracelets to industrial equipment – and monitors how we use them, so we shall benefit from a merging of the physical and online worlds. Driverless cars, fridges that restock themselves, IoT will save the day. Perhaps ingrained in our belief about how to resolve the migrant crisis is a view here, too, that new technology will help, even if we don’t know what it is yet. Largescale desalination could make a new green land somewhere presently inhospitable. Islands could be built, as in Dubai, to give a new start. A device could be produced to neutralise weapons or make terrorists take up knitting. However unlikely or unsatisfactory these may sound, they represent hope. And when you don’t know what to do, hope is welcome from anywhere. Just remember to let it in when it knocks and give it something nourishing.

GOOD SKIN CLINIC The prognosis for psoriasis sufferers is excellent at the Good Skin Clinic, because the clinic is addressing what triggers the condition rather than just symptomatic relief. As important as relief is, clearing the condition to the point of not requiring ongoing medication is our goal. Psoriasis is the cause of great distress and discomfort to many, resulting in hospitalisation for some and a constant source of embarrassment and pain. The remarkable products and protocols used at the Good Skin Clinic have the highest efficacy and are designed by Dr Tirant, biochemist and medical research scientist from Melbourne and have been confirmed by a number of European clinical trials. The results show 89 per cent of psoriasis patients treated achieved a significant improvement after eight weeks of treatment. Other skin conditions that are also successfully treated at the GOOD SKIN CLINIC include eczema, acne, rosacea, dermatitis, ichthyosis, psoriatic arthritis and nail/fungal infections.

COUTING FOR THOSE DIAMONDS in the rough is an art all its own, so here is a list of tips from the Vintage Etsy Society Team to take along with you on your quest. â&#x20AC;˘
Always carry a tape measure and a magnifying glass to read those tiny manufacturer or engraverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s marks.
â&#x20AC;˘
Use your nose. Mould, smoke, etc can be hard to remove.
â&#x20AC;˘
Ask questions. Vintage sellers are friendly pe e people and they love to talk about their wares!
â&#x20AC;˘
Once youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve found a gem, these tips will help you make it look its best. â&#x20AC;˘
To clean those persistent grey scratches or stains inside your vintage Pyrex, use Bar Keepers Friend. Use caution on the outside design or coloured Pyrex until you have tested a small spot. ~ Linneamarie of BrooklynStVintage
â&#x20AC;˘
A gentle buff with saddle soap on a slightly damp cloth will restore tired leather to a soft, supple ďŹ nish. ~ Susan from Sugarcookielady
â&#x20AC;˘
While citrus-based solvents work great on removing adhesive residue from metal or glass, it may etch or damage old plastic or bakelite. Try a little vegetable oil and some elbow grease. ~ Barbara from ionesAttic
If yyou see something you love, buy it! Someone els else will come along and love it, too.
Happy junking! www.etsy.com

Top Tips: Capitalisation – It is important not to over#capitalise when making improvements. The cost to improve particular areas may not net a higher return in the sale price (over and above the investment). Therefore it is important to discuss this with your valuer or agent before making the investment. Stylist – If your furnishings are a little outdated but you do not have the time or money to replace them, you may wish to consider hiring a stylist. An experienced stylist will replace your belongings with hired furniture, to give your property a makeover. Time open for inspections – Try to coordinate open for inspections at times that may present your property in the best possible way. If you choose to showcase it at night, ensure all lights are turned on and blinds are open to make it more inviting. Source: realestateview.com.au.

Yum Yum Tree Cafe has recently launched its intriguing new ‘Zeitgeist’ breakfast and lunch menu. French-born owner Gilles Gohlke explains, ‘Zeitgeist means spirit of time, people coming together creating a culture right here, right now. We believe that living consciously, eating healthily, shopping locally and seasonally is the key to community success and wellness in our regional economy. This in turn keeps jobs alive and allows the community to flourish.’ Inspired by this sense of community spirit Gilles is planning to change the cafe name to Zeitgeist. ‘We want to create a feeling of belonging,’ says Gilles. Frodi, his fiancée, has collected cheerful upcycled décor and artisan’s trinkets for the revamped interior. There’s a sense of hanging around your living room with no rush to leave. Toddlers are made welcome with a tented boat play corner and there’s homely new bench seating outside with ample dog-friendly space. The Zeitgeist menu is influenced by the team’s Italian, French, Austrian and German roots. Sensational seafood creations and mountainous burgers star with vegan selections, healthy juices and in-
dulgent mega fries. A Mullumbimby butcher creates German sausages to Gilles’s great-grandfather’s recipe. He perfected them after rigorous taste-testing on ravenous labourers 100 years ago. Great-grandpa’s gourmet pork sausages, paired with crispy macaire potato, caused an 83-year-old gent to exclaim, ‘That’s the best meal
I’ve had in a long time, and I’ve had a few.’ ‘Fresh organic ingredients are the key to delicious flavour,’ says Gilles, ‘but we also care about the welfare of animals.’ They pay 40c extra per egg to get nutritious Possum Creek open-range eggs from ethically treated pasture-fed hens. No wonder their scrumptious Boardrid-
ers Omelette is touted as a ‘breakfast for champions’. Impassioned by heartwarming European cuisine, community spirit and concern for our creatures, Zeitgeist deserves to thrive. Q 50 River St, New Brighton. Open 7am to 3pm, 7 days a week. Reservations Ph 0403 160 663. BYO. Live music Sundays from 10am.
Love coffee? Take your pick! You love your coffee but have you ever considered picking your own? ‘It’s a unique experience,’ enthuses Richard Bradbury, visitor manager for Wirui Estate coffee, ‘and one that is only available for a short while each year’. Coffee-harvest workshops are available at a plantation in Carool (50 minutes north of Byron Bay). Wirui Estate has recently opened its gates to allow you to get up close and personal with how coffee is grown, processed and roasted. Richard will show you how to pick the ripe red coffee cherries, as well as guide
you through the journey the coffee takes before it reaches your cup. He’s also an expert barista, and starting your visit with a coffee of your choice will ensure you’re in the mood for all things coffee. ‘You will not find a more knowledgeable and informative guide,’ says a recent visitor. ‘The views are spectacular and the hospitality was magnificent.’ Harvest workshops are running on selected dates through September and into October, costing $66 for a three-hour experience. Tasting and roasting tours operate throughout the year. Book-
ings are essential and workshops are not appropriate for children under 15. See wiruiestate.com for full information and bookings.

A NOW & THEN CHRISTIAN STRENGTHENING THE RELEASE OF THE FIRST TRACK OFF HIS UPCOMING SOPHOMORE EP NOW & THEN, CHRISTIAN A N D R E W R E C E N T LY D R O P P E D T H E F I L M C L I P F O R H I S F I R S T SINGLE I WISH I DIDN’T CARE. The clip is a charming and approachable piece of cinematic joy.
A lot of the time I feel the raw emotions myself, and then this leads me to writing a song.
Christian, tell me about your inspiration for Now & Then..
When did you first start playing guitar?
Now & Then is about showcasing a timeline of my music and displaying the variety of songs and styles that I play. I chose some songs that I wrote quite a while ago, and also included some that represent where I am currently at musically.
I first started playing the guitar when I was about 17. My brother showed me a couple of basic chords, then I went and watched countless YouTube videos and found tabs for all my favourite songs. I still don’t have any idea about the theory side of music but guess that means my creative mind has no limits either.
How have you honed your songwriting talents – what have been your challenges?
Where would you like to see yourself in the next 12 months?
I have tried a few different methods, but the one that works best for me is when I let a song unfold naturally.
It would be wicked to get amongst the festival circuit and share my music far and wide. So that’s where I’m hoping to be one year from now, after plenty of blood, sweat and tears.
What gets you started writing a song? It all starts for me with the melody of the guitar. I play every day and sometimes I stumble across a new guitar part that I continue to explore. Is there a secret to writing emotional music or music that moves people? There is a big secret other than being true to your own emotions. I tend to be quite observant of the world around me and can strongly relate to so many situations people are faced with.
What should we expect for your Byron gigs? There will be songs to dance along to, and songs that will slow you down to appreciate the meaning behind them. I’m hoping it will be a gig that will leave you walking away with a new emotional connection to my music. Christian Andrew plays Pizza Paradiso in Byron on Friday and The Rails on Monday.

GOOD WEATHER AHEAD From Byron Bay to the Sunshine Coast, The Weather Men have performed their take on the blues – soulful and groovy with an emphasis on improvisation. They take the best of the blues and bring it to you. Tell me, who are the Weather Men and how did they come to be playing together? The Weathermen are a blues trio from Byron consisting of Joe Brisick, Joel McNamara, and Alex Mitchell. We made a commitment to explore this music further together. What is it about the blues that ignites your muso flame? For us, the blues is a genre of music that can express so many different intense. It’s a form of bliss. Who are your major influences? Son House, Robert Johnson, to the Kings – Albert, Freddie, and BB – to more recent blues artists such as Stevie Ray, Derek Trucks, John Mayer, and Gary Clark Jnr. How would you describe your onstage stylings? Well, fashion styling; we like to wear suits. It originally came about because I wanted to have a reason to wear this suit that I had accidentally crazily overpaid for while travelling in India (I wasn’t thinking of the exchange rate properly at the time). But from that point we all enjoyed dressing up and the theme stuck What do you want to do to an audience?
Every song has been written for the purpose of communicating a message and creating a thread of connection.
It’s the aim of the musician to land that communication and connect. Sometimes it doesn’t work because the receiver just isn’t interested or the performance wasn’t up to standard, among other potential variables. The best song ever written is… ? Difficult to pin down, but I can say my favourite song right now is Circus Left Town by Eric Clapton. It’s about the last day Clapton spent with his son. Sorry to choose a morbid song – you did ask! When you’re onstage all you can think about is… The next lyric. Often for me I’m not thinking. We are all are focused, listening to what we are doing individually, what everyone else is doing and if it’s all in context. Most of that happens without too much thought. Your wildest grandest dreams for the Weathermen? To continue playing to grateful crowds who love the blues or at least our take on it. One day to play at Byron Bay Blues Festival wouldn’t be too shabby either. What should we expect for your local shows? Three smartly dressed men looking to boogie, shuffle, groove and swing. The Weathermen play the Byron Bowlo (Club Byron) on Friday and the Ocean Shores Country Club on Thursday 24 September.

So we’ve had feminism, we’ve had equal employment opportunities, we’ve had positive discrimination – then why are women still being paid 17.9 per cent less than men? Nowhere is the gender pay gap more evident right now than in sport, where our national women’s soccer team, The Matildas, have gone on strike to protest their paltry $21k per annum wage. You’d think when you’d made it to the top of your country’s tree in the world’s most lucrative and popular sport, that you’d at least be earning above your country’s minimum wage. (Which, by the way is $34,158 per annum.) You wouldn’t be expecting to have to take a second job. I mean, it’s not like you’re going to place your
order at the McDonald’s drive through only to find Tim Cahill at the next window. No, our national men’s team are paid considerably more. No need for our male soccer stars to supplement their income with a bit of door-to-door selling or cleaning hotel rooms. So why are our women athletes so disrespected? For instance, if our girls make it to a tournament final they get a $1,500 bonus. Our boys get $11,500. For a standard international game our girls get $500, our boys get $6,500. This guaranteed income of $21k makes up for the fact that the women don’t benefit from the lucrative wages from professional clubs and sponsorships that have
WHEN THE CAT COMES TO TOWN Patron of Mullum Music Festival, the multiple-platinum ARIAaward-winning The Cat Empire frontman, legendary collaborator and impressive solo artist Harry James Angus drops in on Mullum next week to stir the creative pot. And this year with all the ingredients brewing at the The Village Vanguard, Harry is sure to get the crowd cooking! The Village Vanguard is Angus’s domain, and while last year was about recreatintg a jazz club, this year’s vision is about world flavours – from flaming Balkan violins to deep Colombian cumbia, Indian folk to German avant-garde with bands such as Hauschka. It’s all about the piano, and this year there’ll not only be one piano, there will be two – perfect for Harry when he returns with friends Darcy McNulty and Hue Blanes to present his infamous Jazz Party flanked by bands such as Bullhorn, Vardos, and Madre Monte. Batten down the hatches because this crew will lift the roof off! Harry Angus has been called one of the most important voices of his generation, and it’s no wonder. With one foot in the old-school stylings, and the other pushing forward with new music, Angus is all about creation, collaboration and innovation. The Vanguard opens his doors for Sunday Soul with Emma Donovan and the Putbacks and a Nina Simone tribute show that will showcase the singers of the festival. Angus is also the mad genius behind an exciting collaboration between local and legendary Greg Sheehan and The Cat Empire pianist, Ollie McGill. Ollie will also be hosting an impromptu play around the piano twice daily.
But Harry isn’t just enthusiastic about his programming. When it comes to his engagement as the event’s patron, he’s hands on all the way through the process. ‘This will be my second year as patron. Last year I had a hell of a good weekend. I got to present and collaborate with some of my favourite musicians. I led a parade and I got to connect artists whom I know are awesome with an audience that I know will get it. This festival is unique. The town is as much the performer as any artist in the program. People know when to listen when to dance. It’s just so easy for magic to happen.’ With just less than 48 hours in the biggest little town, Harry will be stopping off for a chat with Brett Nielsen at Bay FM, busking with Budz outside the Mullum IGA, donning his braces and cap and rehearsing with the Dustyesky men’s choir, playing some tunes at our north coast ABC, running music workshops at Cape Byron Steiner, and rehearsing the Mullum Music Festival Sunday Street Parade. If you have an instrument then bring it along and join in (rehearsal is 5pm on Wednesday). Harry James Angus, patron and musical wonder boy, filling the hearts and ears of music lovers when he visits Mullumbimby this week! Catch him in the street, or tune in to Bay FM on Tuesday arvo with Brett Nielsen or Wednesday morning on our local ABC with Jo Shoebridge from 9.30am. For more information about the Mullum Music Festival and for ticket and programming, go to mullummusicfestival.com.

WELCHING ON THE MATILDAS our male players pushing into seven figures for their annual income. It raises the question: Why would any woman want to become an elite athlete if that career path was a fast track to poverty? When you play for the Matildas you shouldn’t be finding it difficult to make your mortgage payments, not when our Socceroos are driving Italian sports cars and owning investment properties. When gold-medal-winning Olympic champion Natalie Cook first started training for the Australian Olympic Team in her chosen sport of volleyball, she had to go door to door selling Big Ben pies. Somehow I can’t imagine Ian Thorpe ever having to push
sausage rolls to buy his time in the pool. I wonder whether Meg Lanning, the captain of our Australian women’s cricket team, has pulled the dollars Michael Clarke managed as captain… somewhere in the vicinity of $5.5 million. Our Southern Stars celebrated with bats raised in triumph when they received a pay rise this year that means that their leading players could now earn up to $85k over the following year. Having to keep a second job while representing your country internationally has women’s sporting achievements relegated to that of ‘hobby players’ as compared to our men who are clearly ‘elite professionals’.
Live Music
The key problem in raising women’s sporting income comes down to audiences, and thus sponsors. If no-one is watching, then no-one is sponsoring, and then no-one is getting paid much. So why isn’t women’s sport a more lucrative market? Why aren’t we fighting our blokes for the remote on a Sunday arvo so we can watch our national netball league? Why doesn’t the viewing public care about women’s sports? And what can the market place do to increase audience engagement? Perhaps The Matildas could start playing in their undies. Hang on, someone has already thought of that. It’s called Lingerie Football and it features women playing
gridiron in skimpy undies and bra tops. And I’m not talking soft-porn jelly wrestling; I am talking hard body-slamming football, with only a flimsy gusset for protection. And yes, it not only gets good crowds in the US, and now over here in Australia; it also makes it to the telly. But guess what, even with the titillation and the degradation, the women still don’t get paid that much. In professional sport, as in the workplace in general, the men are still wearing the pants. Of course, we’re at home ironing them. Perhaps ironing man pants would be a good second job for our female sporting heroes. Perhaps The Matildas could start with the men in the FFA, while they’re still wearing them.

MORE REASONS TO LIVE TOMMY DISCO AND YAC Last month the Byron Youth Activities Centre was transformed into the Electric Garden to host their first monthly silent disco, featuring Tommy Franklin! This Friday the YAC will host its second silent disco, an all-ages event, mainly aimed at young people of high school and uni ages, but everyone is welcome. These events are drug- and alcohol-free and fully supervised, with a $10 entry fee that also includes free food and headphone hire. Featured this time is DJ Ramae, along with, of course, Tommy Franklin. There will be a guest performance from local beatboxer Bladez FX, who has to be heard to be believed. His performance last month was mesmeric! To celebrate the second silent disco, the first 10 people to line up at the door at 6pm will get free entry and there are two $50 vouchers from Mr Vintage to give away during the night in a couple of Tommystyle dance-offs! The Batbus have also generously sponsored these monthly events with a FREE bus for young people from the north of the shire; just call them on 6685 8771 to book.

From 11am to 3pm there will be music, raffles, stalls, face painting, and games on the beautiful foreshore of Brunswick Heads.
THE POWER OF THE OCEAN Northern beaches-based psych/ reggae-rock band Ocean Alley have unveiled their third single Muddy Water following a solid year of extensive touring throughout the country; it is lifted from their forthcoming sophomore EP In Purple. Drawing on a different range of influences, Muddy Water carries down-tempo reggae-roots grooves likened to Blue King Brown melded with the spacetinged surf-rock vibes of The Growlers. Over the past twelve months, the band has completed four national tours that have included a slew of sold-out shows – most notably an all-ages matinee performance at the Metro Lair, which sold out six weeks prior to the show date. The band added an impromptu 18+ show that evening that also sold to capacity. Not losing sight of their hard work ethic and approach to touring, Ocean Alley have recently announced a national EP tour that includes nine dates across the east coast throughout September and October. Following on from the EP tour the band will perform at boutique festival Lost Paradise alongside Jamie xx, Angus & Julia Stone, The Jungle Giants and Four Tet, which takes place over New Years Eve on the NSW central coast. They play The Hotel Great Northern on Saturday.
HORACE & LEE Catch Horace Bevan when he is joined by the vibrant and velvety harmonies of Lee Haslau. Until 12 years ago Lee didn’t even know singing was her thing, but one Sunday listening to a jazz and swing band play at Margaret River her passion was awakened. Lee moved here two years ago and a chance meeting with local muso Horace Bevan has burgeoned into a duo that combines his acoustic skills of guitar and Lee’s vibrant melodic tones. They play Club Lennox on Sunday from 4pm.

ENTERTAINMENT Electric Forest has always sought out cutting-edge electronic dance music, moving over the years from psychedelic trance to a more contemporary progressive sound. How is dance life affirming? How can it change people and their environment?
PUTTING A SPRING IN YOUR ELECTRIC FOREST
EATING THE DAISIES IN HEAVEN
Back in the 1980s Grace Knight and Bernie Lynch teamed up to form The Eurogliders – the ultimate big band, pop, electro experience. According to Grace Knight, a one-time Byron Shire local, ‘It was funny how it happened. I got a call from Glenn A Baker asking if Bernie and I would consider re-forming The Eurogliders to support Boomtown Rats on their tour, and then they pulled the tour. But we were rehearsed and ready to go!’ Coming back together has been both a creative triumph and, at times, a bit of a challenge for these two headstrong players.
‘I have been off doing my thing now for 20 years, so I have my way of doing things, as does Bernie,’ says Grace.
Grace Knight didn’t want to be a singer. She wanted to be an actress. ‘I never really felt like I walked away,’ says Grace. ‘I got offered a role in the TV miniseries Come in Spinner. I was petrified because I was a pop singer and they wanted this jazzy torch-singer. I tried to tell them they’d made a mistake, but I fell into it.’ Now Knight is back singing Lynch’s songs in the band that sent them on this crazy careerbuilding trajectory. ‘I have always interpreted Bernie’s songs because I love his melodies.

He comes from a background of soul music, which is where I come from,’ says Grace, ‘and he has this choir background that I think shows in his use of harmonies and the way he loves building tracks using vocals as an instrument.’ So what should audience members be expecting for the show at the Ballina RSL? ‘We would be lynched if we didn’t sing Heaven Must be There and We Will Together – you know we had a lot of hits! This show promises to be ‘Heaven’! Ballina RSL on Saturday – show at 8.30pm with tickets just $39 available at the club.
The third electronic music event of the 2015 calendar, the Spring Equinox Cyber Tribal Gathering, is happening this weekend, presented by Electric Forest. The Echo spoke with Duncan about how it all started and what it is today. How did Electric Forest begin? Electric Forest began on the shores of Goa in 1989, inspired by the beach parties evolving at the time, and incubated slowly in the forested sub-tropical hills of eastern Australia, moving to Byron Bay on the cusp of the millennium. What is the guiding ethos?
How has it evolved over the years? Electric Forest began as an idea that appealed to a rag-tag bunch of eclectic musicians, artists and performers that sought to bust out of the restrictive paradigm of straight society and grok the emergent electronic subculture. It has always been ethically based, contributing to charity through its organisation of the local Earthdance event for many years as well as supporting local artists, community not-for-profit organisations and environmental activist groups.
Dance free, dance safe to transformational music in an immersive, audiovisual ultraspace… We don’t tolerate violence, alcohol or drug abuse at our events, and encourage the participation of families in an uplifting, harmless, high-vibration environment. The key to this is respect: Respect for yourself, respect for one another and respect for the land. Without this framework of reference, foundations cannot be laid. Electric Forest has always supported local emerging and established artists in many fields. The value of community-based dance events cannot be underestimated.
Dance reflects the natural rhythms of our biology and the natural world in which we live. It harmonises our natural vibration with the music that moves us, our environment and with those around us. Dance is very liberating and connective on both a human and macro cosmic level. It feels great, and freedom to selfexpress through movement in a temporary autonomous space is pure soul food. Why dates such as solstice or in this case the spring equinox? The sun is the source of all life, and humans have celebrated the quarterly stations of our life-giving star for millennia. The spring equinox is a special time and space in the revolution of our planet around the sun in which to celebrate the end of winter and the arrival of the warm embrace of summer. Why do you think music is a universal language? Nada Brahma is a Sanskrit term that means ‘the world is sound’. All of existence is vibrating according to universal scales of proportion and harmony. Every particle in the universe, all forces great and small and all information takes their characteristics from the pitch and pattern and overtones of their particular frequencies. Music transcends spoken language and speaks a profound and harmonious lingua franca that is both inclusive and unifying and is key to a more spiritual experience of consciousness.

ARIES: This crunchy week’s best use is getting prepped
E
s r a t S with Lillith
F
This week’s Virgo influences spawn a swarm of improving resolutions, to which late-week Mercury’s final retrograde for the year applies a rigorous road test…
TAURUS: Mercury retrograde’s shadow brings the usual slew of irritating annoyances, making this week’s warning label Handle With Care. So pace yourself, take breaks, use Merc Rx as the astrological pit stop it’s designed for. Because the pause that refreshes does actually improve grinchy situations, often when you least expect it. GEMINI: Stable, consistent, structured routines are the most helpful for navigating this week’s erratic energies. With close relationships a minefield, avoid the firing line. Organise your resources. Ditto argumentative people and agitated situations. Zip the lip. Think before you respond. Remember that nothing is sometimes a brilliant thing to say.
G
H
for late September’s potentially stressful lunar eclipse in Aries. So stay calm and clear, strong and steady; deflect any energetic arrows not meant for you. Make necessary adjustments. Take everyone’s needs and commitments into consideration. Think before you act.
CANCER: Economic uncertainty’s particularly unsettling for the Crab clan, but reacting from past experience only keeps you stuck there. And imagining the future’s just that: imaginary. Stay focused on the entirely workable present right in front of you. If that means change, then go with the flow – you are the cardinal water sign, after all.
M
SAGITTARIUS: You might feel like you’re stuck in a waiting room this week, in which little things mean a lot. Including aggravation if you overlook them, so use this time to attend to the fine print and take care of details. Treat mistakes and errors as warning calls to get better organised.
N
CAPRICORN: While this week highlights problems and what’s going wrong, it also offers nifty solutions and improvements. Which may include taking a break from someone or something for a fresher perspective, more panoramic view, better look at the bigger picture. Don’t force issues. Things are actually coming together quicker than you think.
O
P
LEO: This week recommends economic restraint, so think astute rather than grand and fancy, and no fiscal risks, please. With Mars/Venus energising your sign for another fortnight, attend to details (however dull) and paperwork (however boring). Tidy files, get docs in order, and in the coming weeks you’ll be so glad you did.
VIRGO: No question you’re perceptive and incisive right now, but don’t forget the tact factor. Over-sensitive others mightn’t find your well-meant criticism and feedback helpful, so best to focus on numero uno – starting with this week’s positive assist with the coming year’s must-have-and-do list. LIBRA: The astrology gods prescribe oodles of Venusian downtime to strengthen your resistance against this week’s glitches, hitches and bitches. The road of least resistance is the smart choice right now, so pull back, get all the pending, humdrum stuff done. This isn’t an auspicious time to start major undertakings.
K
L
SCORPIO: As weighty Saturn relinquishes its grip on your sign, this week brings release and relief for many Scorpioborn. By late-week Scorpion moonlight the squeeze begins to ease, bringing a welcome pressure drop. Congratulations! The personal hard yards are almost over, and surprisingly lucrative options shimmer on the horizon.
This Sunday Tania Bosak and Timothee Roi Diers will bring TaKeTiNa to Mullumbimby for a three-hour workshop.
FEEL THE EMOTIONISM Melodie C was born in the Belgium Congo. Her exhibition of paintings titled Emotionism pays homage to the people of Africa. The concept aims to directly access the human heart with the symbolic, encapsulated through the simplicity of line, colour and form. She will also launch her children’s book A Heart for Art on Friday at 4pm, and will include free entertainment and activities with Shorty Brown the Silly Clown. Opening Friday 18 September from 6pm at Lone Goat Gallery.
As the world seems to spin more and more into the unknown there are some unique processes being created internationally that offer a counterbalance to the chaos. TaKeTiNa is one of those processes using the voice and body for transformation, meditation and healing. It was developed 45 years ago by Reinhard Flatischler after extensive studies with master shamans and musicians around the globe. The process guides participants into simultaneous perception where time and timelessness, action and stillness merge. It requires no previous experience and participants are encouraged to participate at any level they feel comfortable with.
AQUARIUS: This week starts up a conversation about overall health, which includes physical nutrition, financial fitness, robust relationships, a supple mindset, nourishing work and living environments. Establish what drains your life force and what restores it. Decrease the former, do more of the latter. The results will be dazzling.
PISCES: This week impacts on partnerships at all levels: intimate, social and business. It asks you to review your relationships in the light of being discriminating about whom you choose to align with, because eclipse decisions have long-term affects. Defences up? Acknowledging this honestly opens an opportunity to lay down your arms.
This is a drug- and alcohol-free family-friendly event. Entry is just $50 per person with children free. Rocky River is 2½ hours west of Byron and 5 minutes from Tabulam.

COME TOGETHER AS ONE MOB Julinbah Yowarl – Rainbow Corroboree is a wonderful family camp-out weekend set on the banks of Tabulam’s Rocky River.
These four days of cultural exchange offer a perfect September family weekend away of bush living and communal harmony. This is the eighth corroboree celebrating the years of collaboration between Jubullum Village and custodians and the wider Indigenous and non-Indigenous community who participate and co-create in the meeting ground. Elders and custodians will be teaching and sharing dance, weaving, painting, dreamtime story and more, giving their children and participants the blessing of receiving the rich goodness of Australia’s true living and original culture. All are invited to gather for Sunset Corroboree and enjoy an evening of local and world music including Wild Marmalade and Buddy Knox. Pop Harry Walker (senior Warhlubal custodian) will welcome visitors to his home and share his stories and teaching of his people. Bring a tent, minimal camp gear, drinking water and food. If you have one bring a drum, a didj, your clap-sticks and play pre-sunset in the drum circles.

THE BIG RIG IN THE FIG Having worked with aerial company Club Swing, Legs on the Wall, and having toured nationally and internationally, when Simone O’Brien saw the ad for creative director of Spaghetti Circus she was ready to make the move. ‘Spaghetti Circus is unique. It’s really exciting to come and work in a regional setting and in particular the northern rivers. Spaghetti Circus has an interconnected relationship with the community and that feeling is palpable; there is nothing quite like it in any of the other youth circuses in Australia. It embodies all the values of a circus in the co-operative commitment people give above and beyond. Young people get the opportunity to excel.’
Borogroves is the new artistic offering by Spaghetti, an ambitious outdoor piece based on Lewis Carroll’s poem The Jabberwocky. ‘I chose it because it has enough structure in that it has a narrative, and because it’s nonsense it’s really open to interpretation. I wanted to make a devised work but from scratch. Having learnt the poem from fifth grade it made a huge impression on me, because it’s a creative development we are doing the first two verses of it. It’s an epic, it’s a hero’s journey.’
Unlike most Spaghetti works in the past – this one is outdoors. ‘I wanted to push the circus to outdoor, on the big rig in the fig! My inspiration was the opening ceremony of the last Circus Festival where Leonie had some aerials in the tree. It was the best of both worlds; it changed it, it made it something else, and Simone is enthusiastic about the opportunities that the tree stole the show without doing anything! Spaghetti Circus gives young people. Spaghetti So far half our rehearsals have been washed out… has been implanting dreams and nurturing and I’m thinking, why didn’t I listen!’ The cast of 40 circus seedlings for 23 years. ‘We have two of our features performers from age six to 36. And as for graduates currently working for CIRCA – and they what to expect, Simone says, ‘This show pushes us can’t wait to come back to teach; that’s the test – to defy expectations of what youth circus can be’. when people want to come and give back to the Experience The Borogroves on the Friday and school that got them started. Here that spirit is Saturday nights of the festival around sunset. alive: there is a real passion and enthusiasm.

ENTERTAINMENT LOVING ITALIAN FILM The Lavazza Italian Film Festival returns to Palace Byron Bay this week with an outstanding program of contemporary Italian cinema, starting on Friday with the award-winning box office hit comedy God Willing, about an atheist surgeon with a god complex. Opening night tickets include pre-film drinks and after party with more vino, canapés and entertainment Italian style by Luigi the accordionist – plus the coveted Italian gift bags! The program will feature an exciting lineup of brand-new comedies, romantic
tales, crime thrillers and gripping dramas including Perez, depicting an urban wasteland hiding the underbelly of organised crime. Also delving into the criminal world is Black Souls, an awardwinning thriller by Francesco Munzi that tells a timeless and powerful tale about the challenges of breaking cycles of crime and violence. Leopardi is an engrossing historical drama about the talent and struggle of Italy’s greatest 19thcentury poet Giacomo Leopardi, a radical thinker and philosopher, who produced inspiring works and intelligent prose that have influenced countless others.
cinema L BY JOHN CAMPBEL
Director Matteo Garrone’s Englishlanguage debut Tale of Tales features an all-star cast of Salma Hayek, Toby Jones, Vincent Cassel and John C Riley. Not for the faint hearted, the film delves into the depths of the human psyche in a delicious dream-like visual feast brimming with imagination and mischief. Latin Lover from acclaimed writer/ director Cristina Comencini recounts the life and secrets of the great Italian star Saverio Crispo, a ‘Latin lover’ played seductively by Francesco Scianna. Winner of the Best Comedy at the Italian Golden Globes in 2015, The Legendary Giulia brings a
fantastic cast together to tell the story of three down-on-their-luck men who meet by chance and decide to combine forces and risk everything to start a B&B. The warm-hearted comedic gem Do You See Me? celebrates the importance of individual value and being true to oneself, and in Mia Madre veteran director Nanni Moretti presents a lively and brilliantly absurd comedy featuring John Turturro and an award-winning performance from Margherita Buy as an unhinged filmmaker dealing with a personal crisis. And who can resist a very handsome man and a gorgeous dog?

MAZE RUNNER: THE SCORCH TRIALS RICKI AND THE FLASH In the line of duty, I’ve seen some doozy zombies over the years (who could ever forget the beauties in I Am Legend?), but the ones in this overblown teen sci-fi epic take the cadaver in the freak-out stakes. Quite late in proceedings, as though included as an afterthought, the first of them emerges dripping scum from the wall of an unlit cavern and chomps the head off a poor mangy rat before making slavering pursuit of our heroes. Honestly, I had to laugh out loud. A brief re-cap at the beginning of the movie is intended to keep us up to speed with at what stage of manic flight and rebellion the cute youngsters have found themselves, but it’s all starting to look like a gluggy overcooked stew of Hunger Games, Divergent and Maze Runner 1 (the latest instalment of which might have more accurately been sub-titled ‘The Skid Marks’). As is the genre’s rule, the story is post-apocalypse in its setting and, another mandatory component, the rulers are a bunch of cruel fascist bastards. There is some sort of plague devastating the established order and youngsters are being farmed for their bodies’ fluids in the ongoing research to find a vaccine. Having escaped their oppressors, the ‘Gladers’ strike out for the promise of freedom in the distant mountains. The alpha-male in the group, Thomas (Dylan O’Brien), bears an unsettling resemblance to Tony Perkins’s Norman Bates, but the kids love him and, by Jove, he does manage to come up with the goods, albeit at the last excruciating minute, as the bizarrely cast Patricia Clarkson’s heavies chase them here and there. How they happened to find themselves zonked out in a scene reminiscent of a party at Andy Warhol’s factory was no more baffling to me than the divine Patsy Cline’s Walking After Midnight being played while a warehouse is razed to the ground as the Gladers flee from it. But never mind, it’ll be on again next year – although I doubt that they’ll be able to improve on those zombies.
North Coast news daily: www.echonetdaily.net.au
We all saw how well Meryl Streep can sing in Robert Altman’s A Prairie Home Companion. As Ricki, an ageing rocker who never quite made the big time, she is reduced to working as a checkout chick by day and maintaining the dream at night with her superannuated band, The Flash. The boys, with ex-pat Aussie Rick Springfield on lead guitar, are as tight as, and you can’t help but be caught up in the exuberance of Streep’s performance (I loved their take on Canned Heat’s classic Let’s Work Together). That these bar scenes are far and away the movie’s best should come as no surprise, for director Jonathan Demme has few peers when it comes to filming musos (his Heart of Gold is a towering benchmark). The other half of the story, dealing with yet another rich man’s dysfunctional family, is lamentable stodge. Pete (an unusually insipid Kevin Kline) is Ricki’s divorced husband and father of their three grown-up children.
There’s a churlish daughter who has just been dumped by her partner, a son who wants to keep secret from Ricki the arrangements for his wedding and, inevitably, a gay son with his own resentments. Ricki flies to Pete’s Indiana mansion on screenwriter Diablo Cody’s slenderest pretext and ruffles feathers, gets stoned with Pete and, surprise surprise, breaks down the daughter’s hate-wall. While doing this, with one side of her hair in long skinny plaits, Streep indulges in an uncanny imitation of Johnny Depp pretending to be Keith Richards. If you are familiar with Radio National’s Life Matters, an hour of hand-wringing, bloated emotional ‘issues’ talk, you’ll have some idea of how tiresome and clichéd it is – right down to the get-together that turns loud and nasty in the crowded restaurant. Even Ann Roth, a costume designer with an impeccable CV, miscues by dressing Streep in a ghastly babyblue outfit for the finale that Blind Freddy would have seen coming from halfway. It’s good in parts, with some unarguable if obligatory feminist statements, but otherwise wildly overrated.

Free-range pork claims misleading: Greens MP
Aussies addicted to junk food: CSIRO survey
The NSW minister responsible for fair trading matters, Victor Dominello, must push for a nationally legislated standard for free-range pork products after the ACCC found some of the biggest producers have been misleading consumers for 15 years, according to Greens NSW MP John Kaye. Dr Kaye said: ‘For 15 years, consumers have been duped into paying more for pig products that claim to be free-range when the animals were in fact raised indoors. ‘The label “bred free-range” was never about meeting consumer demand for higher animal welfare products. ‘It was a marketing term designed to deliver more profits
Australian diets aren’t making the grade with an addiction to junk food largely to blame, according to findings from the CSIRO Healthy Diet Score Survey. The country’s diet quality was given a rating of 61 on a 100-point scale when assessed using the CSIRO Healthy Diet Score – a scientifically validated survey which assesses people’s diet quality against the Australian Dietary Guidelines. Discretionary food, or junk food, intake was found to be three times higher than the recommended daily limit. Based on the survey results, Australians eat the equivalent of 32kg of chocolate each year. More than 40,000 people took part in the survey, which evaluated a person’s diet based on variety, frequency and quantity of the essential food groups as well as individual attributes such as age and gender. According to Professor Manny Noakes, CSIRO research eirector for nutrition and health and the co-author of the CSIRO Total Wellbeing Diet, the results were concerning. ‘The scores were fairly unflattering across all respondents,’ Professor Noakes said. ‘If we were handing out report cards for diet quality – Australia would only get a C.
to the pork industry. ‘Consumers wanting to avoid the horrors of sow stalls have been misled into thinking they are buying high animal welfare products. ‘It looks as through the pork industry has been learning from the industrial egg producers on how best to abuse the “free-range” label to rip off consumers. ‘Inaction on the truth-inlabelling crisis by the NSW government has allowed for the exploitation of a growing number of consumers for more than a decade. ‘It should not left to organisations like Humane Society International to expose the systematic rorting of animalwelfare labels.’

‘While many people scored highly in categories such as water intake and the variety of foods consumed, there is certainly lots of room for improvement in other areas.’ Discretionary or junk foods are foods and drinks that are high in sugar, saturated fats and/or alcohol and low in essential nutrients. Of the survey responders, the average score received for the discretionary foods category was only 37/100. ‘What we’re finding is people are having larger portions of junk food, more often,’ Professor Noakes said. ‘This type of food is no longer just an indulgence, it’s become mainstream and Australians are eating it each and every day. ‘In order to improve your diet quality, people need to cut back on the consumption of junk food, and start to focus on eating smaller portions. ‘They also need to be more mindful of every bite they take by eating more slowly and consciously.’ The CSIRO Healthy Diet Score is a free 15-minute online assessment that evaluates diet quality and identifies areas of improvement.

Creating a Dementia-Friendly Nation starts with you, says Alzheimer’s Australia in Dementia Awareness Month, which started on September 1. Alzheimer’s Australia is calling for the community to join them in Creating a DementiaFriendly Nation – creating communities where people living with dementia are respected, valued and supported to maintain a good quality of life. With the Ballina electorate estimated to have 1,430 people living with dementia, and that number expected to soar to about 3,100 by 2050, Alzheimer’s Australia NSW says it’s essential that we take the lead on creating dementia-friendly communities. Alzheimer’s Australia NSW CEO John Watkins AM said that we are all responsible for creating dementia-friendly communities. ‘We all have a role to play in helping people with dementia sustain their independence, dignity and sense of purpose in our communities,’ Mr Watkins said. ‘It starts with you. By making small changes, we can
make a big difference. ‘One way you can do that is by becoming more dementiaaware. Find out more about dementia, increase your understanding of the condition and its impacts and help us spread the word. ‘Make dementia a priority and key issue in your community and help us make Australia a dementia-friendly nation. ‘A general lack of understanding and fear of dementia in the community is reported as being the main reason people with dementia disengage with their community. ‘People are unaware of the symptoms and unsure how to respond to the changes in a person that they have always known. But a little bit of knowledge and understanding can go a long way, so head to www.dementiafriendly.org. au and find out how you can make a difference.’ World Alzheimer’s Day is on Monday September 21. Dementia Awareness Month 2015 is jointly funded by the Australian government Department of Social Services and the NSW government.

Valiant effort in U16 final Lighthouse run a favourite
Patrick ‘Patty’ Heyen was, in this photographer’s humble opinion, the outstanding man of the match, laying his body as well as loads of energy and talent all over the paddock in a fine effort for Shores United. Photo Tree Faerie.
The Shores United Under-16s finished third on this year’s FFNC ladder and found themselves in the grand final against the Lismore Rovers. Shores were valiant against a much older team – the Shores team had five Under-15 players and two Under-14s – but were outplayed by in the first half. The second half saw Shores come out hard and throwing
everything they had against Rovers, with the ball spending more time at their end of the field and some electrifying runs by the boys out wide. Rampaging Shores striker Patrick Heyen kept the crowd on the edge of their seats time and time again until the final whistle. In the end a late second goal from Rovers came after some great build-up.
The Shores boys never gave up and continued to punch above their weight, as they had all season, right until the end. A large number of Shores supporters made the trip out to Oakes Oval, Lismore, and were by far the most vocal on the night. Club officals say they have a great club at Ocean Shores and are all very proud of the boys.
A favourite event on the funrun calendar, registrations for this year’s Brookfarm Byron Lighthouse Run are already coming in. Now in its ninth year, this charity event has high hopes of reaching a milestone of having given away $100,000 to charity. Each year the event gives 50 per cent of its money raised to local charities and 50 per cent internationally. ‘This approach has been well received by participants,’ says event organiser Lisa Parkes. ‘This year’s international charity is Rafiki Mwena, which is a safe house in Kenya set up to house young girls who have been raped and sexually abused. The money will go to building a dedicated therapy room. ‘The local charity venture is Crackin’ Cancer, a local organisation that is raising funds to purchase CADStream Software for Lismore Base Hospital. This is software that enhances the MRI system and will aid in better and earlier diagnosis of prostate, liver and
breast cancers.’ The 2014 event had just over 950 participants, mostly from between Coffs Harbour and Brisbane but also with some international participants, from places as far away as USA, Japan, UK and China, with many return participants. ‘We have a feature that is very popular, which is the team entry, and many teams dress up and make a day of it,’ says Lisa. ‘This year will feature a new event, which is the kids’ dash.’ Participant options are for a 6.7km walk or a 10km run. The event is professionally timed and there are some elite athletes who enter, but
the main focus is on participation. A returning feature this year will be the massage tent, where participants can pre-purchase a massage as a reward for their efforts. Funds raised by the massage professionals from Alstonville Osteopathy will go to Beyond Blue. A popular aspect is the presentation after the run, which features a random prize draw of around 100 prizes valued in excess of $10,000. This is testament to the support exhibited by businesses in the area and their commitment to this event. Earlybird entry is open online at www.byronrun.com.
35-year hockey spell broken
The Mullumbimby Men’s Division 3 hockey team has won its first grand final in 35 years.
After convincingly securing the minor premiership they beat the Burringbar Jaguars
2–0 in the Tweed Border Hockey Comp. The goals were both scored by Darren Hunter, who converted a penalty corner in each half. Special mention for the team, for the season and for his career to life member Grant East who, week in week out, holds his own against much younger opponents and was actually a part of Mullum’s last grand final success 35 years ago in 1980.

Over the last year our ancient wordsmith, Michael McDonald, has concocted a number of weird fictions, carrying a distinct whiff of H P Lovecraft about them. They’re short, gluten-free, laden with eldritch Himalayan salts, and can be read free online at thebookofunspeakablehorrors.com. Q Q Q Q

Fossil fuel tendrils have ventured far into the veins of our major political parties, condemning them to become vestiges of a polluting past. We all know that the Libs believe that coal is good for humanity. The latest wrenching news is that Another Liberal Party leader Bill Shorten has appointed Adani lobbyist, former Queensland Labor state secretary Cameron Milner, as his chief of staff, and that Larry Anthony, once the MP for Richmond and previously if not now a shill for Shenhua, has become the Nats federal president, a move which is likely to sow further division within the party and lose more votes from farmers who don’t want fertile land destroyed. The forces of Sauron are out scouring the Shire, and we must take heart from the Knitting Nannas Against Gas (www.knitting-nannas. com) for their stalwart yarnbombing resistance.

While Tony Abbott looks forward to a little humanitarian bombing, we are off to a roaring start accepting donations at our Mullum office for baby slings and carriers to be distributed to refugees from Iraq, Libya and Serbia to help keep their children comfortable and safe.

Rural landsharing, a popular concept in Byron Shire and a legacy of the 1970s ‘new settlers’, has been dealt a blow by the NSW government’s planning department. The ability to create a multiple occupancy (MO) looks like disappearing, although it will not affect our Shire as MOs are still written into the Byron LEP. Find out more in Chris Dobney’s story on Echonetdaily at www.echo. net.au/2015/09/multipleoccupancy-zonings-beingabolished-by-stealth.
