Injunction likely Blessings for a birthday Council’s rock wall project faces legal challenge while internal legal advice on liabilities ‘uncertain’ Legal options are now being explored by a local marine conservation group to ensure Council undertakes an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) before building its planned Belongil rock wall. It comes as the project’s legal liabilities on neighbouring walls have been described as ‘uncertain’ by Council’s lawyers. Local environment group Positive Change for Marine Life (PCFML), in partnership with the NSW Environmental Defenders Office (EDO), has requested they be given 72 hours notice of construction, which Council has agreed to. The 100-odd meter rock wall will replace ageing geobags, which currently connect two stretches of rock walls, believed to be below engineering standards and built by residents in the 1990s. While the $1m project is expected to start shortly, it has not been subjected to the normal process of a development application (DA), which includes public submissions and an environmental assessment. Instead, the project has successfully avoided environmental scrutiny and is classed as an infrastructure state environmental planning policy (SEPP), which limits input from the NSW Coastal Panel, among others. And despite it being legal, the project has no mitigation plan in place for the expected loss of sand. The push for the controversial project is by the majority rightwing Crs Ibrahim, Hunter, Woods, Cubis and Greens turncoat Wanchap.

PCFML founder Karl Goodsell says, ‘In light of the evidence of environmental impacts created by walls such as these, as well as the findings of coastal management experts who we have consulted with on this issue, we have decided to explore legal options to ensure that an EIS is carried out before any construction commences.’ ‘This is a band-aid fix to a very complex problem, one that will only be exacerbated as climate-induced sea-level rise increases. ‘We are deeply concerned that this wall will have a negative impact on coastal geomorphology and contribute to further coastal erosion and environmental problems long into the future. Community groups, scientists, coastal experts, four of nine Byron Shire councillors – even the NSW Office of Environment and Heritage and NSW Coastal Panel – have expressed serious concerns with the wall and, having exhausted all other avenues, we have decided to take this matter further.’

Unknown outcomes

Shark tagging commences

And adding to the project’s unknown outcomes is recent legal advice by Council’s lawyers that the legal ramifications to neighbouring walls are uncertain. The comment is included in the upcoming Council agenda, and comes in response to Cr Duncan Dey’s question surrounding the hydraulic impact of the project on neighbouring walls, ‘which are continued on page 3

Shark tagging on the north coast is set to start this week, which will involve locating and tagging those frequenting waters close to shore, using a vessel with an externally mounted satellite tracking system. Acoustic tags are surgically inserted in sharks to monitor their movements. The research project is in response to a spate of recent shark attacks along the northern NSW coastline this year, including fatalities and several serious maulings. A NSW Primary Industries spokesperson says, ‘The aim of the tagging program is to target individual sharks which are frequenting waters close to shore on the north coast, starting at Ballina.’

‘The work involves locating and tagging sharks from a vessel with externally mounted satellite tags and surgically inserted acoustic tags to monitor shark movements.’

$250k program Primary Industries minister Niall Blair last week announced $250,000 for the campaign, ahead of the spring/ summer holiday season. Mr Blair said, ‘Let’s not forget the ocean is the domain of the shark; however, this government is taking action to gain a better understanding of the local risks and how they can be reduced to help inform and protect the public’.

Planning minister visits Byron

NSW planning minister Rob Stokes (Liberals) recently visited Byron Bay and met with the mayor and residents over contentious issues such as the West Byron mega-development and Council’s rock wall project. Environmentalist Dailan Pugh, Byron Residents’ Group’s Cate Coorey and other community members gave presentations to the minister. The meeting was facilitated by Greens MP Tamara Smith, who told The Echo the minister accepted her invitation to visit. ‘He held one-hour meetings with community groups and the mayor,’ she said. Mayor Simon Richardson told The Echo his meeting with Mr Stokes covered a lot of ground. ‘We discussed West Byron, the difficulties faced with the conflicting koala studies ie SEPP 44, operating with

two local environment plans (LEPs) and the north coast specific E zones, which has been ongoing for years now. We also discussed the 10/50 Vegetation Clearing Scheme, and my request for a paid position with the Beyond Zero Emissions plan for Byron.’ Rusty Miller told The Echo he was very impressed with the professional presentations of the groups, and equally impressed with how Mr Stokes took an interest and listened.

Five arrested after raids net ice, guns and cash Police believe they have shut down a major drug distribution network on the north coast, following raids and the arrest of four men and a woman last week. Investigators allege that more than $100,000 in cash, four handguns, including one semi-automatic, and a quantity of drugs believed to be ice was seized. They claim the ice exceeds $150,000 in potential street value. At around 7.30am Thursday, police from Richmond Local Area Command and officers from Tweed Byron raided four homes in East Lismore, Tuckombil, Goonellabah, and Tweed

Heads West. Two storage facilities in Alstonville and Ballina were also searched. Three men were refused bail and are due to appear at Lismore Local Court on September 22. A Tweed Heads West man was granted bail to appear at Tweed Heads Local Court on September 14. A 28-year-old man and a 58-year-old woman were released pending further inquiries. Detective inspector Cameron Lindsay said, ‘I urge anyone with information about the manufacture or supply of illegal drugs to contact police immediately or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.’

Previous Liberal MP Pru Goward declined invitations to come to Byron and meet with residents before making her decision on West Byron.

netdaily.net.au Council staff reply over bypass DA Council’s director of sustainable environment and economy, Shannon Burt, has replied to The Echo over last week’s story regarding legal advice over the Byron bypass. The Echo reported that the Environmental Defenders Office, on behalf of the Butler Street residents, claimed Council’s DA contained a ‘technical legal error’. Ms Burt replied that while the bypass DA was ‘exhibited without the biobanking data, the DA would not be assessed until the biobanking approval has been received.’ Ms Burt added that EDO’s opinion will form part of the submissions review.

Splendour grant money doshed out The Ocean Shores Waterlily Community Playscape Group has been given $15,000, topping a funding announcement by Splendour In The Grass. It’s part of a yearly community grants program, and other groups and schools to benefit include Mullumbimby High School, which will receive $6,250; the Ocean Shores Public School music program will get $5,000; Byron Homeless and Community Breakfast will receive $4,450 and the Pets for Life

Animal Shelter in Billinudgel will get $2,500. Splendour organisers say that over $400,000 has been given out throughout Byron Shire over the past 15 years. Splendour co-producers Jessica Ducrou and Paul Piticco said, ‘We’re so happy to be able to assist these very worthwhile local initiatives [which] we hope will enhance the lives of many members of our community. Byron is a very special place that Splendour is proud to call home.’

Tribal men gathering Sat A meeting for northern rivers tribal men is planned at the Mullum Civic Hall this Saturday from 10.30am to 3.30pm. Co-organiser Yillah told The Echo that he is inviting all Aboriginal men to form a tribal men’s council for the region, and wants to discuss the ‘recognise’ campaign and the issues that surround it.

‘I’d like to see the UN Human Rights Commission appoint a legal counsel to represent the tribes, or at least monitor the legal process,’ he said. ‘We need to resurrect our culture through dance, ceremony and bush skills. We need to be the voices for our young men.’ For more call Yillah on 0499 386 217.

Local News ‘Ye stars! which are the poetry of heaven!’ – Lord Byron Mullumbimby High School students and parents took part in a country-wide stargazing event last Friday night, which effectively broke the world record for sheer numbers of sky-watchers. A crowd of 53 parents, students and siblings gathered on the basketball court to be part of the world record attempt for the most people to be stargazing in the one country simultaneously. While the final count is still to come, so far 8,336 budding astronomers are confirmed to have been stargazing on the night, blitzing the old record of 3,000 set in Mexico, according to the school’s head science teacher

Bangalow bridges replaced No govt engagement over with roundabouts Bruns dredging: mayor As part of the Tintenbar to Ewingsdale upgrade of the Pacific Highway, the old Bangalow Road over-bridges are being replaced with roundabouts. The southbound bridge was removed some months ago. This week, the northbound bridge is coming down. Demolition of the bridge took place overnight on

Monday with Bangalow Road closed until early Tuesday morning. Both north and southbound traffic on the Pacific Highway is being diverted via the new southbound roundabout. Work will continue throughout the week with controlled stop/slow roadworks continuing on Bangalow Road.

Mayor Simon Richardson has voiced concerns over the lack of community consultation and public awareness regarding dredging the Brunswick River by the NSW Department of Lands and Water. Echonetdaily reported on July 16 that a $600,000 plan was announced by the state government last year, but came without community consultation. The plans are to dredge

sand and sludge from two sections of a river channel and dump it on the southern end of New Brighton beach via an interim pipeline. But Mayor Richardson wrote in his email subscription, Byron: A Mayor’s Eye View, that a Council urgency motion which called upon them to ‘consult with the community and answer important questions,’ was ignored by the government.

In their answer, staff say in the agenda, ‘Further potential issues may arise in the present case in relation to “legal liabilities”, including the involvement of third parties, climate change impacts and legislative controls.’ The advice concludes with, ‘Legal Services cannot definitively comment on the “certainty” that the proposed

The Bangalow Men’s Shed recently reached lockup stage, which was the perfect timing for a visit from the national Ambassador of the Australian Men’s Shed Association, Tim Mathieson. Mr Mathieson, also known as the partner of former prime minister Julia Gillard, inspected the shed last Tuesday. He told Bangalow Lions secretary Tony Heeson that of the 1,000 sheds he had visited in the last six years, ‘Bangalow’s was a standout’. Men’s sheds are extremely good at creating an environment where men can talk about their physical and mental health, Mr Mathieson said. But the work is not over, says Mr Heeson.

shed, further work is required with electrics and plumbing. ‘The Catholic Church have been fantastic – they donated this land in the centre of Bangalow,’ he said, ‘And there is provision for 24 much needed community carparks.’ The problem, Tony said, ‘Is that we don’t have enough funds at the moment to provide these carparks.’ ‘We need around 100 cu/m of clean fill, and volunteers with machinery to complete the earthworks, drainage and compaction.’ He says The Lions Club are also planning a Sports Legends fundraising lunch on October 9.

O’Mearas Bridge load limit reduced to 5 tonnes from Monday 24 August until further notice The load limit for O’Mearas Bridge on Binna Burra Road has been reduced to 5 tonnes for all vehicles from Monday 24 August. Heavy vehicles will need to find an alternative route via Friday Hut Rd and Coorabell Rd or Eureka Rd and Federal Rd. Variable message signs are in place and traffic controllers on site. Heavy vehicles may adversely affect the structural integrity of the bridge and result in Council closing the bridge to all traffic in the event that non-compliance with the load limit is evident. Monitoring at the bridge will be in place to help enforce the load limit reduction and fines could apply to heavy vehicles that chose to ignore the signage. Council apologises for the inconvenience the load reduction may cause. Motorists can call Byron Shire Council on 02 6626 7072 should they have further enquiries. Council is in the process of applying for funding to replace the old timber bridge with a new concrete bridge. If unsuccessful, repairs to the old timber bridge will commence in 2016.

Local News Bruns forum hears public lands are at risk by mismanagement Calls for a parliamentary inquiry to review the current mismanagement of public lands was one outcome from a recent meeting held in Brunswick Heads. Greens MLC and former mayor Jan Barham facilitated the meeting, and said a range of community representatives highlighted how the mismanagement of public lands is at a ‘desperate point that hasn’t been experienced for over 20 years.’ ‘It was shocking to hear from the representatives about the lack of community consultation and protection of our social, natural and economic environment,’ Ms Barham said. The forum heard presentations about coastal management, biodiversity, forests, Brunswick caravan parks and foreshores and Aboriginal land claims.

Lack of community input John Corkill, a former Coastal Council member, outlined the state of play in relation to coastal protection and identified the lack of community input to the Byron Shire Council’s move to build a rock wall at Belongil

and called for the government to intervene to prevent the works. Also at the meeting, Brunswick Heads Progress Association president, Leonie Bolt, said the community did not support the current harbour and foreshore works. A Brunswick community meeting adopted a resolution that calls on the NSW government to suspend the Plans of Management pending a review and investigation into the process of their preparation.

Harbour dredging ‘The lack of regard for the community views puts at risk the character and future enjoyment of the Brunswick Heads village for residents and visitors. The dredging of the harbour has proceeded without the appropriate consultation with Aboriginal representatives and has not clarified the long-term management issues,’ said Ms Bolt. Ballina MP Tamara Smith (Greens) and Byron Shire mayor Simon Richardson (Greens) also took part in the meeting. The next meeting will be held at the South Tweed Community Centre from 10am, Saturday August 29.

Bridging ties with China Katie Grubb

‘Stars! Look at the stars in the sky!’ was what one Chinese youth who visited our region recently kept saying. He is growing up in Shanghai, a city with 24 million people, which obviously has limited access to stargazing. Southern Cross School of Distance Education recently collaborated with Brunswick Heads Primary School to support a Chinese culture exchange. Families from China doing a road trip from Adelaide to Brisbane spent a day visiting the school. It was a really valuable learning experience for our young people here to develop global awareness and Asian literacy skills, a learning area that Brunswick Heads Primary School is taking seriously.

Imminent fluoride plans draw protests Around 70 blockaded the Corndale dosing plant on Monday as anti-fluoride protesters step up their protests against planned dosing of the water supplies for three north coast councils. On Wednesday they rallied outside Rous Water in Lismore, with about 60 people taking part. Fluoride Free Northern Rivers spokesperson Kate Marson said further rallies would be held on the third Wednesday of each month, which is when Rous Water delegates gather for their meeting. She said she was unaware when

the actual dosing of the water supplies would begin. ‘I asked Rous Water that last week and they said they had to wait for a certificate from the NSW government but couldn’t say when that would happen,’ she said. Ms Marson has also asked that Rous Water notify customers, and also issue warnings that fluoridated water was not suitable for bottle-fed babies. ‘A lot of people don’t want to drink it because it’s got heavy metals… it’s toxic waste,’ she said. Rous Water will soon fluoridate the

Abbott’s holy crusade for a coal utopia

Volume 30 #11

August 26, 2015

Love your country, but never trust its government* What we know about current global surveillance programs is only because of the bravery of whistleblowers such as Edward Snowden. The mild-mannered cyber-security expert exposed US government intelligence operations back in 2013, and the reputational damage to western governments such as the US and ours continue to this day. It’s interesting that he is vilified by both major ‘left’ and ‘right’ sides of governments across the globe, but when looking closely at the rhetoric, the claims that national security is compromised are unfounded. And also look closely at Snowden’s body language, and compare that to the politicians and the right wing media who vilify them. Who is the real enemy? These spying programs have little to do with national security. It’s more about wholesale collection of metadata, which can be analysed to use against the population. Facebook have been exposed for this; recently they manipulated news feeds to see how people reacted. It’s one big psychoanalysis experiment we are participating in, yet we have no knowledge of the results or how it is being used against us. As for how effective national security is through wire tapping, Greens MLC Scott Ludlum pointed to evidence from a panel that gave evidence to the US senate justice committee in early 2014. Apparently there was no instance where they could discover where indiscriminate data retention had prevented terrorism. Like every generation back to the dawn of time, young people do stupid things. You either got caught or you didn’t. But now there’s no escape if it’s done online or by phone because your every move is now logged. Reputations and job prospects can be ruined for life. Is this a healthy thing for society? Now we know all communications on your phone and internet are being data mined, what should the public response be? Exploring these questions, Australian/US intelligence observer Phillip Frazer and I will hold a discussion about untrustworthy governments who spy on thier citizens at this Saturday’s Fed Talks. The evening will also include a new doco on Snowden called Citizenfour, with dinner from 6.30pm, introduction 7.30pm and film at 8.15pm. It will be held at the Federal Hall.

nce again our creative prime minister has devised a bold and imaginative solution. Now it just remains to discover a credible problem to go with it. Tony Abbott’s latest wedge, to shut down the protection of the environment from its friends and restrict it to the immediate neighbours, is spun as the desperate need to protect fragile mining developments from vigilante litigation, green saboteurs, economic treason – the hyperbole is without restraint or limit. But unfortunately it simply defies reality. As has been extensively documented, there have been very few cases taken to the tribunals, and less than a handful of them have been successful. If things have gone wrong – and indeed they have – it has been more usually a stuff up by the relevant authorities, frequently the federal department overseen by Greg Hunt, the confusingly named minister for the environment. This was certainly the case with the halt to the Carmichael Mine in the Galilee Basin of Queensland. It turned out that the department overlooked its own rules, and admitted that it had – hardly a plot by the devious conspirators of the conservation movement. The Carmichael Mine has since become a holy cause for the Abbott government – a crusade towards an economic and social utopia for Australia and indeed the world, a future flowing with milk and honey – or at least with a great deal of coal. Once again the rhetoric is fanciful, absurd – the so-called benefits of the proposal have been carefully assessed and do not even compare with Abbott’s wild projections. But the Carmichael proposal

is still a significant one – it is to be a bloody big coal mine, with associated infrastructure stretching to Abbot Point on the shore of the Great Barrier Reef, and is thus controversial. So government ministers taunt the opposition leader, Bill Shorten: is he on the side of the miners – the workers – or the reptiles, by which they mean not those of the press, but the yakka skink and ornamental snake, thought to be vulnerable. But once again, this is not the issue. It does not matter whether Bill Shorten supports the mine, or even if Tony Abbott

locals, but simply because the bottom line did not add up. A cynical observer might well assume that Abbott was expecting the same outcome so that he could then blame the Greens, Labor, the unions – just about anybody – for the failure, and could use it to justify his policy. But this is to give him more credit for ingenuity than he deserves. It is far more likely that our bellicose prime minister just wanted to pick a fight – as he has said, this is what he is best at. And all the signs last week were that he reverted back into opposition mode, attacking

The demand for coal is not rising (as Abbott seems to believe) but falling. by Mungo MacCallum does; what matters is whether the promoters and backers will, and this has become increasingly problematical. The demand for, and therefore the international price of, coal is not rising (as Abbott seems to believe) but falling, and there is no reason to believe that it will recover, at least in the long term. The Carmichael Mine may well prove unprofitable, even unviable. There are signs that the promoter, the Indian giant Adani, is already shuffling away from the project; it is, after all, driven by profits, not politics. Such caution would not be the first time; last year Woodside, after a long and sometimes acrimonious negotiation, pulled out of its plans to build a natural-gas hub at James Price Point in the Kimberley, not because it had been convinced by the arguments of the environmentalists and the

any possible opponents within range in the hope that he might finally land a knockout blow. His shouting and yelling about Bill Shorten as racist for daring to question the perfection of the China Free Trade Agreement dominated a question time in parliament distinguished more by overkill than common sense; his ostensible target was, yet again, the unions, but he managed to link Shorten and the Labor Party to the White Australia policy, the mantra of conservatives and progressive alike until changes emerged in the 1950s. Certainly there are antiChinese overtones in the union campaign against ChAFTA, but they are no more strident than the complaints coming from the government, and particularly the National Party, demanding that Chinese investment in rural properties and the Sydney housing market must

be curtailed. If Shorten is to be portrayed as a latter-day Billy Hughes (as Abbott implies) then surely Abbott himself must be channelling the first prime minister, Edmund Barton, who publicly denounced the idea of any kind of Asian immigration. For that matter Abbott’s spiritual father, John Howard, went through a period when he was not too keen on it either. Playing the race card in any form is neither edifying nor effective. But it is certainly noisy, and in the clamour of confected battle, this is apparently what is needed to drown out the doubts, leaks and any hint of dissension within Abbott’s own ranks. According the latest Newspoll, it is not working – at least not yet. But the Laborlinked jihad against the unions and all their works is clearly going to be the main game, at least as far as Abbott and his close allies are concerned. Right on cue, The Australian produced another breathless front page exclusive about a sinister secret army the ACTU is recruiting to subvert and undermine the government. It turned out that the army was so secret that the ACTU secretary, Ged Kearney, was happy to spell out her plans publicly and in considerable detail to the paper’s eager reporters. And the nub of her revelation? The ACTU and its members plan to campaign against the Abbott government during the next election campaign. Well, golly gosh – who would have imagined that. We wait on tenterhooks for the national daily’s next scoop: Murdoch press to back coalition campaign. Or perhaps we don’t; maybe that too is a secret. We will just have to wait for the next cabinet leak.

Why relocate the farmers market? Q As

farm auditor for Byron Farmers’ Market, I’ve visited the farms of 70 members to check that their stalls are stocked from their farms. As such, I am in a unique position to comment on some aspects of the debate on moving the market from Butler Street, perhaps to Ewingsdale. Arguments have been well put by others, about a high proportion of customers currently walking or riding to the market, or otherwise being not prepared to brave the traffic to drive to Ewingsdale. Clearly the market would lose many customers if it were moved there, and I wish to point out the consequences to

our farming community and the sustainable production of local food. Virtually all stallholders would not be able to continue in business without farmers markets, where they receive retail prices and can interact with customers. They do not have the scale and/or desire to do all the spraying etc needed to supply supermarkets and wholesalers. They can however produce a big range of organic or ‘low-spray’ products – albeit with the odd blemish – healthy, low-kilometre and sustainably grown food. Surely that should be what councillors want. The crowds at Byron market show how

Council code breach?

tion and vote for the rock wall contractor is perhaps of more immediate interest. The claims in the article have not been refuted by either Cr Ibrahim or the GM and as such there is evidence of a clear breach of the code of conduct with possibly more serious implications. It may be that a code complaint has been made (secrecy again) – and the GM has a clear duty here. But whatever the situation, the rock wall contract should be scrapped and new expressions of interest sought. Tom Tabart Bangalow

‘Complex legal issues’, ‘legal advice promptly sought’, ‘due process followed’, GM Gainger was certainly not amused by Jim Beatson’s ‘EDO injunction’ article, (Echo, August 19). Okay, so at least one councillor has hoisted it aboard but what about us out here in community land? Surely we have shown enough interest in this matter to deserve some small indication that salvation may be at hand? What would the GM club do without the legal fix to gag the elected body? Engage a lawyer and a wall of confidentiality is invoked which keeps all manner of inconvenient truths from the prols – just ask Buck$. The coastal management plan which went missing and gave rise to the current ‘choose your own authority’ Belongil mess is a case in point. Cr Ibrahim’s contact and subsequent mo-

O’Mearas Bridge Many families have been affected by the sudden decision by Byron Council to no longer let the school buses drive over O’Mearas Bridge on Binna Burra Road. Council and Blanches Bus Service both formally informed us yesterday that because of

popular this is. There are already farmers markets at Bangalow and Mullumbimby – Ewingsdale does not need one, Byron Bay does, and farmers and shoppers of this area need the current market location. Brian Sundstrom Bangalow Q We have a brand new expensive sportsfield at Ewingsdale which seems to be underutilised. Why can’t the football field at the end of Marvell Street be used for parking, instead of the proposed present market site in Butler Street, on Thursdays and some Sundays? The footballers could

From my understanding, Council has been aware for a long time that O’Mearas Bridge has needed repair and/or replacement. As working parents this is going to have a major impact on our lives. My partner and I both work from 9am to 5pm in Ballina, and now will have great difficulty getting our children home in the afternoons. I have rung Byron Council, Blanches Bus Service, Trinity Catholic College (my children’s school), and numerous numbers that belong to the NSW Department of Transport, only to be told that nobody can help. Carpooling is our only option at the moment, but with around 17 kids to pick up, it’s not an easy solution, and will not be

move their ground to the new sportsfield. I can’t understand why this has not already taken place. The football field at the end of Marvell Street seems to be rarely used. It is no further away from the town businesses for employers/employees to park and maybe there is room for tourists to park there as well. Apart from Thursday mornings and Sundays once a month, this would create an additional parking area for the town. Stallholders at the market are also business owners and their businesses need to be protected. Helen Revis Suffolk Park

Is the shark problem really a people problem? Q One

of the shark-mitigation measures I have seen mentioned in the press is the NSW government ‘fast tracking lookout towers funding from the Towers Grant Program’. I think it’s worth noting the ‘spotting’ potential of several locations here in Byron, where we already have amazing natural lookouts. Wategos, Tallows (Cosy Corner) and Broken Head Point, are all directly beneath elevated headlands. If, as a community, or in conjunction with the SLSA, we could come up with some kind of ‘spotter’ roster, then at least on days/at times of day where visibility is good, we could bolster other mitigation methods with direct visual observation of these popular surfing locations. In the white-shark mecca continued from page 9

government from 2007 to 2013 and over this period her party had the chance to legislate for marriage equality, but did not. It’s easy to keep taking potshots at Tony Abbott, but the Labor Party needs to stop pretending they’re doing an-

of Capetown South Africa, they’ve had a similar program in place for ten years with only one fatality. They use binoculars and polaroid lenses from high vantage points with a flag warning system (which could be on the headlands). They also record all sightings of sharks – which feeds in to scientific research. This is the website: http:// sharkspotters.org.za/about/ shark-spotters. It might not be foolproof, but it would certainly help to increase the chances of warning swimmers and surfers immediately if there is a shark close to shore.

looking like a media rehash of the 70s cult classic Jaws. While a water lover, diver and surfer, I feel it is my responsibility to consider I am part of and not controlling a marine ecosystem. At our fantastic local dive site at Julian Rocks in the summer months up until about March we will see manta rays and leopard sharks. The cooler months will see the few grey nurses left. The movement of great whites similarly will be related to currents and as an apex predator will be related to prey supply. A flow-on effect is also potentially overfishing in deeper waters of bait fish that are bringing the sharks closer to shore. At this point the question remains – do we go with research, education and sci-

ence to attempt to solve this ‘puzzle’ of why we are having such a ‘shark problem’ or do we go with the old guard (google Vic Hislop and his macabre embalmed six-metre great white monster shark museum) and randomly wipe out and demonise our shark populations? While the debate rages a worrying trend is that some are suggesting there is a ‘plague of sharks’. It is interesting that our current ‘plague’ is not in sufficient numbers to attack south of Evans Head or north of Byron. Great whites are already listed as vulnerable. This is for good reason – male sharks are thought to reach a sexual maturity at 26 years to be able to reproduce and females 33 years. With reproductive biology like this it is unlikely

they could ever reach ‘plague’ proportions. A further relevant fact about all sharks and rays is that they are gifted with a biological apparatus known as the Ampullae of Lorenzinzi – basically a dense collection of electroreceptors that run from the nose across the head. These electroreceptors are sensory organs that sense both temperature gradients and electromagnetic fields. It is for this reason that shark pods and other technology are thought to be extremely effective in repelling sharks. For some strange reason they are not being adopted in sharky territory. I understand the concern and have been out of the water but also suggest we haven’t looked at our own

possible behavioural modifications in this respect. Risk times at dawn and dusk could be avoided. Whale migration times could be avoided. Peak baitfish times could be avoided. In the Northern Territory, north Queensland and north Western Australia, saltwater crocs are a way of life, yet people have adapted, not slaughtered. For example, when fishing in croc-infested areas people are advised ‘to never fish in the same place twice’ owing to the fact crocs are sit-and-wait predators. This approach is to be commended. Without scientific research to properly understand the problem we will replicate the mistakes of the 70s. Sue Robertson Federal

turing community feedback (both negative and positive) during events at Parklands. Complaints and feedback are reviewed and discussed by the RWG. Ms Arnold, I would be pleased to send you the recording that was made at 7.37pm on Thursday 23rd and was three minutes and 37 seconds in duration. Firstly, let me say that I am very sorry that you were disturbed by the noise from this event, I truly am. However, after reviewing this recording and comparing it with the assertions you have made, I feel it’s necessary to clarify the facts in relation to your call. 1) The hotline has multiple lines and all calls are recorded. A review of all calls and messages made to the hotline reveal only one call from you. 2) As can be clearly heard in the recording the offer of an acoustic consultant to come to your address was made to determine sound levels and your response was

‘I don’t want a noise monitoring guy, I want someone to turn it down.’ 3) You were offered a call back after sound measurements were taken, which you outright declined. 4) An acoustic consultant was sent to your address anyway and recorded noise levels of 48dB(A) which legally complied with the existing approved noise criteria. 5) The recorded legal noise levels taken at your property will form part of the noise impact report being submitted to the Department of Planning and Environment and the RWG. While there is always room for improvement with all our systems, your letter is not a true reflection of the events that unfolded during your call and the processes that are in place to manage any such calls to the hotline.

Letters scientific review article to emphasise the role of carbs, and particularly starch, in Paleolithic human diets. It is a breath of fresh air that science is finally demolishing the misguided notion that high protein diets were the Paleolithic norm. In fact, Dr Samantha Solon-Biet, a postdoctoral research fellow at Sydney University, has recently done experimental research that indicates that a high protein diet shortens lifespan and accelerates ageing in omnivorous mammals by about 20 per cent! She has shown for the first time that an energy ratio of carbs:fats:proteins of about 60:20:20 is optimal. With these ratios solidly established, and the obesity epidemic in mind, the question ‘Which kind of carbs?’ is crucially important for health. Carbs fall into three main categories: free sugars, starches, and fruit. Free sugars swing your blood sugar level. Starch doesn’t taste very sweet, but explodes in your stomach into a sugary glucose bonanza. That raises your blood sugar and stores fat, if you don’t live a hyperactive Paleolithic lifestyle.

The postulated Paleolithic starch source is tubers and notably not grain-based sources, which are the primary source in our agricultural era. Tubers have a lot more fibre than grain, thus diluting the starch carbs. It makes sense that grain-based foods are the primary source of starch overload and therefore obesity. Finally, fruit is a more delicious and nutritious source of carbs, which, in its whole unprocessed state, does not destabilise blood sugar or cause obesity. While the digging for and cooking of

Garden chaos Over the past few weeks, I’ve watched good garden beds in Mullumbimby being ripped up, just so Mayor Richardson can have a photo shoot with a community planting program, swapping the cycads and agapanthus for $10,000 worth of three-to-four-metre-tall tropical plants, at a dry time of the year with no water available in the main street for regular maintenance. What were you thinking, Simon? What the mayor doesn’t understand is those street gardens were corrected many

years ago by Cliff Jones (also a Tidy Town president) and his tireless and hardworking Council ground staff team because the tall plants were obstructing the view of cars and pedestrians, which is precisely why agapanthus and other low species were carefully chosen for these gardens. No consultation with the locals or the business houses in these high-profile streets before you ordered the beds ripped up, and an outrageous waste of Council’s rates money as well. Why couldn’t you just have added more agapanthus in the gaps in the garden beds, leaving $10,000+ for the repair of some of those huge craters in our roads across the Shire?

The secret ingredient – Seaweed

Sample Food Festival director Remy Tancred is over the moon at the success her festival has bought to the region. She was quick to tell The Echo that it certainly has not been without the love and support of many local businesses in the industry. ‘Monique Guterres, of Seaweed Cuisine in Byron Bay, has certainly been a big part of Sample’s success,’ said Remy Tancred. ‘I remember going to her with ƋĘå ĜÚå± Ņü ƋĘå üåŸƋĜƴ±Ĭ ƵåĬĬ ÆåüŅųå ƋĘå Ā ųŸƋ ŅĹå ±ĹÚ she was quick to provide support from that day on,’ Remy added. Monique has been operating her high-end catering company in Byron Bay for more than 15 years.

In fact, as she is obsessed about good, local produce has allowed Monique to develop great relationships with local farmers as well as being a regular at the Byron Bay Farmers’ Market each Thursday morning. Another wonder-woman of the food world is Pam Brook – owner and founder of Brookfarm and chair of Northern Rivers Food. Pam has provided a great program of cooking demonstrations with producers and chefs for the past few festivals and 2015 is no exception.

Coffee lingo demystified Story and photos: Vivienne Pearson

You know a latte from a short black. You’ve maybe heard that coffee is green before it is roasted. But have you heard of cascara? How about a bullet-proof coffee? Coffee lingo has become so complex that you could dedicate an entire dictionary to it. We haven’t got that much space, so here’s a quick and dirty guide to some of the newer and more interesting terms around. Cherry – the fruit of a coffee plant is called a cherry. Green when unripe and

bright red when ripe, each cherry has two little coffee beans snuggled up inside. You can eat a coffee cherry – the taste is an odd mix between fruit and coffee. I don’t know anyone who would sit up to a bowlful though. Green bean – once the two little beans from inside the

cherry are unwrapped from their protective layers, they are known as green bean. Their green is much more

muted than the brightness of an unripe cherry – more of a greeny-grey. The beans are then dried before being roasted and ground. Cascara – a ‘tea’ made from the actual cherry flesh (which is usually thrown away). Prepared hot or cold, cascara is sweet and has a surprisingly pleasant zing. Bullet-proof coffee – a shot of espresso coffee with a dollop of butter and a dash of oil (coconut is one option). I have to contain my gag reflex just thinking about it but others attribute to it a myriad of health benefits. Magic – sharp-eyed readers will remember this from a recent article about coffee at farmers markets. For the less dedicated, magic is a double-

How do you like your dumplings? Story and photos: Wanda Chin

Pieces of dough that tightly encompass parcels of filling: dumplings! But delve a millimetre deeper and you’ll find that there are a million and one different variations around the world, although the Asian variety is the most tenacious in modern cuisine, and tenfold more ways to enjoy these cheap and cheerful little symbols of luck and fortune.

There are two ways to make dumplings (more specifically, won tons) at home, both of which are joyfully easy to make. You can either buy them frozen (they are ac-

tually superior to most other frozen foods so don’t write them off!) or you can plunge wrists-deep into it and make them lovingly by hand (this method yields a more delicious dumpling 100 per cent of the time). Purists can also make the dough wrappers from scratch quite simply. You choose the filling, folding method and the way it is served. A conservative pan-fried pork and cabbage, a healthy spinach and mushroom in a clear broth or even oyster and chive steamed in a bamboo basket. I won’t even get started on the technical differences of the different types! Douse steaming hot

dumplings in your own secret blend of vinegar and soy or eat them sauce-free. Whichever way this large-group dinner option is prepared, it will be a crowd pleaser. Dumpling making is the perfect team-bonding activity, accommodating multiple pairs of hands whose owners can subsequently enjoy the fruit of their combined labour with revelry! They are usually served on a shared plate so even their consumption actively encourages interaction between diners. Chopstick ability comparisons are guaranteed be the first topic of conversation. My favourite way to eat

shot ristretto (a ‘restricted’ espresso, where only the first part of the shot is used) topped with three-quarters of the usual milk volume. It is an increasingly common order in coffee-centric places such as Melbourne but is creeping into the local scene. Almond milk – remember that great ad where the milk bar owner wearily runs through the myriad of milk

options available? Well, almond milk adds yet another option to the full cream / skinny / soy conundrum. Made by soaking, blending and straining almonds, its presence in cafes is on the rise, thanks to the nutty flavour complementing both coffee and chai. Expect to pay extra though – almonds are more expensive to milk than cows. Happy caffeine drinking!

Pothole solution and a new lifeform discovered Q On a recent trip to Kerala, India, I saw this ingenious interim (permanent?) method of pothole repair – low materials input, low labour input, can be permanent or temporary, satisfies recycling criteria, and reduces vehicular impact by allowing for a soft landing. It just ticks all the boxes. Maybe Council could consider it? Madeleine Green Myocum Q Before

I go much further with this letter I expect it to be taken up by one of the prestigious science journals such as Nature, Scientific American or Womens Weekly, so I will begin by outlining for our readers what qualities a

living thing must have to give it ‘life’. In its simplest form a living thing must be able to 1) reproduce, 2) grow, 3) move and 4) assimilate, ie take in

materials and incorporate them into its own body. This being the case I would like to claim naming rights for the new lifeform

that I have discovered hiding in plain sight in Byron Shire. I am naming my find Potholus giganticus rayii. Note that I have Latinised the name as is the accepted procedure and given myself a little credit for finding it as well. Why are our potholes living things? Let me outline the justification. 1) The ability to reproduce: how many of us have noticed a pothole out the front of our house one day and then two the next and so on. Now I have never seen potholes in the act of reproducing during daylight hours so I am forced to the conclusion that they are nocturnal. 2) The ability to grow: this is also obvious to anyone who

has ever observed a pothole, one day small, a few days after larger, a week later huge. 3) The ability to move: I have evidence of potholes moving up and down my road at an alarming rate. Last week I sat for a day and watched the big pothole just outside my front gate and it never moved a centimetre. The next morning when I went to look at it again it had clearly gotten bigger and moved down the road. Definite proof of their nocturnal activity. 4) The ability to assimilate: after close observation again I have found that our local potholes will consume almost anything. Generally they go for rounded objects

like car tyres, bike wheels, prams, scooters, skateboards and even my son’s dog. I think they might be a bit like cane toads, introduced from elsewhere but with no known predators they are out of control. It seems that covering them with a light dusting of tar slows them down but doesn’t kill them. I am not sure if the potholes in other local government areas are the same species as ours, but I think not, as ours seem to reproduce at a far greater rate than anywhere else I have been. Looking forward to what is left of the CSIRO pitching in and helping us out. Ray Linabury Middle Pocket

continued from page 11 lighthouse was changed recently and as a result the light has lost a lot of its character. Now it merely blinks whereas formerly it could be seen to sweep protectively over sea and shore. The beam was visible when light from the lamp was scattered by particles in the air. This effect appears to be much less pronounced with the new LED lamp than with the old incandescent lamp. No doubt this LED saves money and this is one reason for its installation but it is at the cost of an icon of the northern rivers night sky. If LEDs must be used, to preserve the heritage feature could not a combination of LEDs be found that matches the spectral output of the incandescent lamp? Rob Watson Myocum

behaviour, and not the level of fluoride in the drinking water. There is no disputing the benefits of applying fluoride topically (directly to the teeth). Dental hygiene is an important issue. If Ballina Council feels that it should play a positive role in this area of public health then I believe the $100,000 per year would be much better spent on an educational program in conjunction with local infant and primary schools. At this week’s Council meeting I’m again asking the councillors to support a community poll at the next local government election to determine whether the majority of residents are in favour of adding fluoride to the water. The cost of such a poll would be approximately $15,000. For a small increase to this cost Council could ask other important questions. What better way to conduct a comprehensive survey of local residents? Surely the results would be more accurate than the last poll Council conducted to support the recent rate increase. If the outcome of the poll is that the majority of residents don’t want fluoride added to the water supply, then the next council should take all necessary actions to remove it. While I’m personally against the fluoridation of Ballina’s water supply I feel that for controversial issues such as this it is important that residents have an opportunity to decide whether they want fluoride added to the drinking water or not, rather than a handful of councillors. Cr Jeff Johnson Lennox Head

Fluoride follies Ballina Council’s town drinking water is about to have fluoride added to it at a cost of over $100,000 per year. This is despite less than one per cent of that water actually being used for drinking. A comprehensive study conducted in the US showed only a small difference in the level of tooth decay between communities who had lived all their lives in fluoridated areas when compared to nonfluoridated areas. The difference was not clinically or statistically significant. Other studies in the US have found that the worst tooth decay rates actually occur in areas that have been fluoridated for decades. These and many other studies highlight that the main causes of tooth decay relate to diet and 26 August 26, 2015 The Byron Shire Echo

ALL YOUR NORTH COAST ENTERTAINMENT

MR WALKER AND HIS SUAVE FUCKS There is something incredibly poetic about the songs of Don Walker, although if you said that to him he’d probably grunt in disapproval. Walker is the closest thing we have to Tom Waits – not because he tries to emulate that signature sound, because he’s got one of his very own, a twisted, smoke-infused lament of loss or love, unapologetic and unselfconscious. You have to admire a bloke who works with a band called The Suave Fucks. The Echo is possibly the only newspaper that will publish the band name without asterisks. That’s the joy of being independent! Walker shows a healthy disdain for the music establishment, but at the same time has maintained his rock ’n’ roll ‘fuck you’. Refreshing in an industry that purports ‘to be successful you need to suck up’. Not Walker. Walker runs his own race. And if it were a race, I guess he’d be walking behind, smoking. I’ve been reading Walker’s memoir Shots, an extraordinary vignette of music-making that reads more like a cinematic shot list – a reminder of just how much, and what exactly, Walker notices. In his three solo releases – We’re All Gunna Die (1994), Cutting Back (2006) and his 2013 release Hully Gully, we get a closer look at the lyrical genius of Walker, who was described by Richard Clapton as ‘the most Australian writer there has ever been. Don just digs being a sort of Beat poet, who

goes around observing, especially around the streets of Kings Cross. He soaks it up like a sponge and articulates it so well. Quite frankly I think he’s getter than the rest of us.’ Walker does not use his music as emotional show-and-tell. This is no vicarious personal-life peep show. Walker prefers to tell stories about experiences. Walker’s measured approach is laced with humour. He’s a man who seriously doesn’t take himself too seriously. ‘I enjoy playing with words and talking with people who are articulate and funny in a brief way – and it’s the humour that is very important. All the people who I admire who play music, there is humour in it, and the people I don’t admire are generally humourless people – there are plenty of them around – but there are plenty of humorous people, someone like Iggy Pop – he’s not part of my musical history, but I admire him. You can tell immediately he’s a pretty funny guy and if you had a drink with him it wouldn’t be a wasted hour.’ So what has Walker learnt from his long career as a songwriter? ‘Maybe the first step is to ditch all ideas of being taken seriously and only then you might be able to write something that deserves to be taken seriously. Maybe I just made that up and maybe it’s as bullshit as it sounds.’

GOOD MATES WITH GUITARS AND A SONG TO SING So who are the Suave Fucks? This is the band he is bringing on the 2015 tour: Michael Vidale bass, Hamish Stuart drums, Garrett Costigan pedal steel, Roy Payne and Glen Hannah on guitars and The Don on keys and lead vocals. ‘Glenn Hannah is a session player in the country area, he is also a record producer and a sensational guitar player and also one of the best pool players I have ever seen. Roy Payne is on baritone guitar; based in Newcastle these days, he’s played in western swing and rockabilly bands for a long, long time, Garrett Costigan on pedal steel, from Mooney Ponds, plays with Tex, Don and Charlie, The Working Class Ringos, and anyone who needs the best pedal steel around. Mike Vidale plays in all sorts of country and western swing bands. Also a record producer, he engineered a lot of stuff that Slim Dusty did over the years. Drumming is Hamish Stuart – came out of a long collaboration with Jackie Orsasky. I can’t remember the first time we met, would have been Cold Chisel days. He is now the drummer around the place.’ DON WALKER + Band www.donwalker.com.au. Supported by Jimmy Dowling Club Mullum (Ex-Services Club) Saturday 5 Sept, 7.30pm.

Although it was clearly an impressive experience, Busby reflected back that next time he’d be just as happy recording here, being unpretentious musicians who prefer a pretty straight forward approach. ‘Nashville was great,’ reflects Busby. ‘I would never have dreamt of it 10 years ago playing demos with friends in Rockhampton. It was an awesome experience. I got to live all the memories, but we were a long way from home, and although it was great we got a little homesick. You know, Australia has some of the best producers and emerging people in this industry, and you often have people leaving thinking you have to do it over there, but I think you need to do it in Australia first; you want stuff that is homegrown.’ Recording is a particular skill set, and it’s something that as a musician Busby believes is sometimes challenging. ‘I never used to be able to get the artistic distance in the studio, you get comfortable with how you sound. Jeremy is an acoustic guitarist – I also try to stay away from that in the recording studio – when you have a producer you have to trust them. I do a lot of home recording; I am not the best at it, but it helps me write songs.’ For Busby, the essence of a good recording is about getting ‘the

‘When we are working with a producer we will have different approaches, but for Busby Marou it’s about the feel. The way we play guitar is that I hack along, and Jeremy brings the beautiful guitar over the top; if we layered it down and just had him it would be amazing. Maybe too amazing…’ ‘We recorded one song with Jeremy laying it down. If you have seen him play guitar, it is phenomenal, and the producer thought it was unreal, and we just listened to a live version of that track, and he kept playing it, and the producer stopped and said, “I don’t know how you feel about this,” and went with the threeminute version, not the three-day one. ‘We came to an agreement, and then he said that he wanted to record it with me playing guitar and singing together and we played it together and nailed it. That was a very big stepping stone for us as I always thought I brought the songs and Jeremy was the musician; in the end we realised that the merging of the sounds creates the artist. The fact that we’re not perfect is part of our sound. I love singing and with my guitar I will struggle along, but Jeremy

comes in and covers the mistakes, so he plays slightly different… he’s definitely got my back covered!’ Songwriting is a pretty organic experience for the duo. ‘I come up with the skeleton – it’s almost all structured; we shape a bit; the harmonies are the favourite part of who we are. Jeremy’s voice is almost girlish – his voice is so different from mine. He’s a Torres Strait Islander and he sings so sweetly; if you meet him he’s the opposite of how his voice sounds – the songs are based around this. The last few tracks he banged out a riff in the studio and I worked around that.’ Busby is a visceral writer; he likes to be able to feel and see what he’s writing about. ‘I definitely need visuals – I struggle to write without them; I have to be able to relate it to my life. My favourite songwriters are simple and you listen to everything with a beautiful tag at the end of it. Particularly the first album was all about the beautiful people and places from home, from heartbreak or little things that you learn over time with life… actually it was mostly about girls!’ Busby Marou are playing Murwillumbah Country Roots Festival 2–5 October.

VERY VERY PERI

’s Mandy Nolan SOAP BOX

S E E M O R E O F M A N DY O N E C H O N E T DA I LY W W W. E C H O. N E T. A U /S OA P - B OX

About six months ago I noticed that the key details of my communications were disappearing. Literally falling out of my brain mid-sentence. I’d be in full flight conducting a conversation and then suddenly I’d forget what I was talking about, or who I was talking about, or even who I was talking to. This is a little perplexing for someone who has always been extremely articulate. Suddenly I’m substituting major nouns with ‘thingie’ and referring to family members as ‘whatsername’. I was sitting in a trendy Melbourne cafe last night, chatting with a girlfriend, telling some fascinating story that hinged on a crucial detail, something I actually know, but it just evaporated. I could see the picture of the person I was talking about but couldn’t

access the name; it was like my hard drive froze and, not being in a position to reboot, I said, ‘You know, whatsername, she’s a famous Australian thingie with a paintbrush’. That’s fairly general. It wasn’t meant to be some sort of elimination quiz. There was an awkward silence. My friend smiled and patted my arm gently. ‘Welcome to peri-menopause’. For those of you who don’t know, peri-menopause is that time in a woman’s life that comes immediately before menopause. If menopause is the marriage, then peri is the engagement. It’s as fleeting as adolescence, but just as insane. Being an egg-bearer has been quite an emotional rollercoaster, and now as my body gets ready to make the transition from hormonal

hornbag to cranky crone, it seems the ride is nowhere near over. So I started reading up on what I’m in for. While I was relieved to discover I don’t have early-onset dementia, I was a bit perplexed about the 35 exciting symptoms I have to look forward to.

I clearly have the ‘disturbing memory lapses’. Next on the checklist was irritability. Tick. It’s hard to know whether it’s a symptom of hormonal change or a personality trait. If I am to be honest I reckon I’ve alway had the shits. I can’t blame peri-menopause. My mother had the shits. Her mother had the shits. Her mother’s mother had the shits. So yep, I’m irritable and easily annoyed, but that happens when you live a life surrounded by idiots. True easy-going mindfulness is harder than you think, and if

TINKERING WITH SPOONS

S P O O N B I L L R E T U R N S TO T H E F O R E W I T H H I S F O U RT H F U L L - L E N G T H A L B U M T I N K E R B O X . H E C E L E B R AT E S W I T H A L A U N C H P A R T Y AT D U R R U M B U L H A L L O N F R I D AY. Unlike anything he’s ever done before, this sonic anthology traverses the landscape of cinematic groove electronica like a caravan of space gypsies. Tell me what you set out to achieve with Tinkerbox. How does this sit with your previous three releases? Tinkerbox is my first full-length album since Zoomorphic, released in 2009. Over the past six years I’ve been writing a broad spectrum of music, but concentrated on releasing a bunch of EPs that were more bass heavy dance-floor focused. All the while though

I was also dabbling with more downbeat cinematic compositions. So the crafting of the Tinkerbox album evolved in an uninhibited and organic manner over the past six years, until earlier this year when I focused solely on this release bringing an array of sonic sketches to fruition. What influences did you draw on? I admire the works of several Ninja Tune artists, such as Cinematic Orchestra, Amon Tobin, and Bonobo. But mostly I think my major influence was relocating my life to the forest northeast of Melbourne. A few

you can call Centrelink to ask a question without breaking into a sweat then congratulations, you’re probably the next Dalai Lama. Speaking of sweats, I don’t have that one. I am also happy to note that I haven’t got ‘vaginal dryness’. I didn’t even know that it was something that we women have to look forward to. Just when you learn to manage your vagina, it pulls some new tricks.

I get the odd irregular heartbeat, but I just figured I am a pretty irregular girl. Mood swings and sudden tears? Hmmm… sometimes I cry in the car. But that’s generally when I’ve sped past a speed camera. I’ve definitely got the ‘weight gain’ and yes, I do have the bloat. And flatulence? Christ – angry, fat, farting bitch with a dry vagina. What’s not to look forward to?

ENTERTAINMENT And of course let’s not forget the pervasive sense of doom. I’ve had that since I was six years old. I was growing up in a hick country town with a violent alcoholic father who was soon to end up dead. I was big on doom. Maybe I was peri-menopausal even back then. Of course there’s fatigue, I am tired, but then I get up at 6.15am, crack out three lunches, clean the kitchen, make the beds, do the washing, do a full day of work, drive kids to school, to sport, cook dinner, do a late-night gig, and get home by 1am. I think fatigue is a normal response to my daily routine. I am happy to say I haven’t suffered a loss of libido. I doubt I ever will. Although I guess if the dry vagina hits I might have to reassess. And then there is the occasional incontinence. Or as they call it on the telly ‘light bladder leakage’.

years ago, I bought a property that backs onto Kinglake National Park, and designed and built my own home and studio in the bush.

can be a great tool for evoking emotion. And music that is cinematic in nature can further aid the listener in delving into an evocative cerebral experience.

What were the challenges along the way?

What are the challenges facing electronic musicians? I imagine not getting a lot of airplay on mainstream radio is one.

Making an album always presents its challenges. In the case of Tinkerbox I was trying to craft an album from a bunch of disparate musical ideas that had spanned many years. So the difficulty was building a musical journey that made sense to the listener and for the individual tracks to relate to each other. This was solved by fastidiously reworking and rewriting the older tunes to match the production and vibe of the newer compositions. Why do you go for a cinematic approach in your music?

I think the main challenge is standing out from the crowd. As music production gear becomes more accessible there is more and more of an overload of stuff out there. And so the challenge is to stand out amongst a sea of noise. The most important aspect is always to make something unique and special that truly represents how you are feeling. It might take time to be appreciated, but it will… if it’s a well-honed piece of self-expression!

I love music that is evocative and can send you on a journey in your mind. Music

What should we expect for your album launch?

That’s a polite way of saying ‘just did a little bit of wee’. Previously I would have said No to that but recently playing basketball on two occasions I came down from a rebound and found I’d created an improvised moat. Why is it all so negative? Why can’t peri-menopause give us symptoms like ‘sudden onset of flat stomach’ or ‘moments of intellectual genius and insight’? I’d be happy with ‘disturbing incidents of tolerance’, unexplained rushes of joy and a sense that the world and the people in it are good. Peri-menopause will cause a generalised sense of your own awesomeness with extended periods of insanely good wellbeing. I’d be so excited I’d bloody wet myself. In the meantime, I’m going back downstairs to yell at the kids.

I will be performing a longer-than-usual set of around two hours. I’ll start off by showcasing the Tinkerbox album, and then bring up the energy to a more party-fuelled jamboree so punters can also get a good boogie in! Friday at Durrumbul Hall.

At such an early age LeMaire seems to have those two ingredients so vital for someone embarking on a creative career: heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talented and driven. If this new album is anything to go by, I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see anything holding this young fella back. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I have always had an interest in guitar,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; says Squeak (whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s real name is Sebastian, but no-one really calls him that). â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I picked

up a guitar in Year 5. There was an advanced guitar group at my school; I had a few lessons and played the songs easily and they put me in the advanced group in two days so I played with all my friends in that group. Pretty soon I was better than most of them. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to explain but I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t picture myself doing anything else really, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why I am getting serious about it. Nothing else excites me â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I have to do this as a career.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s look at the album.

The album was a couple of years of gigs â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I saved for it. If

you know what you want to do itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy. My parents want to get me ready for the real world â&#x20AC;&#x201C; if I want to keep making music then I have to keep busking and playing gigs.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

LIBRA: This week’s balancing act? Between Jupiter’s expansion and Saturn’s contraction. Between growth and consolidation, dreams and necessity, optimism and realism, the big picture and the little details. If critical feedback touches a sensitive nerve, follow its self-questioning thread. Is it time to recontact someone from the past?

SCORPIO: Saturn in your sign won’t let you ignore those hard truths we all naturally try to avoid: long-held, deeply felt wounds that resist letting love in. Venus and Jupiter are busy this week presenting opportunities to open your heart and stretch into larger, more loving understanding of your social and personal worlds.

SAGITTARIUS: You’re likely to be on top of your game as motivator and passionate catalyst this week, which shows plenty of interest in your current enthusiasms. Don’t nip this in the bud by speaking without thinking and unintentionally offending others. Press the edit button before uttering, and look forward to a rewarding week.

CAPRICORN: During midweek Capricorn moon you’ll want your way. Maybe others won’t. And if they don’t, Pluto, planetary agent of transformation, is presenting an interesting seminar on the expanded understanding of power plays, if you’re open to its scrupulous soul-searching – which could lead to nothing short of a complete personal renaissance.

TAURUS: This Taurus-friendly week bears a regenerative theme that favours repairs, remodelling or renovating anything and everything from creative projects, your living quarters, wardrobe, office space, health regime, romance, finances or friendships. And its earth-sign emphasis showcases your particular talents in a satisfyingly show-you-the-money way.

of sensible down-to-earth practicality kicks in. Physical niggles improve, work picks up, finances begin to flourish, interpersonal developments get healthier. This week’s auspicious for home improvements, equipment upgrades, personal makeovers and selfpromotion – but keep it subtle.

GEMINI: If Jupiter overwhelms you with options this week, Saturn helps select the best and ditch the rest. Mouthy Mars (not noted for tact or diplomacy) in your communication zone cautions against expressing criticism too freely. Much better to zip the lip, upgrade health habits and improve work routines. CANCER: Venus shines a bright and lively light on this week’s social activities. There’s oodles of celestial support for extending your tech-savviness, furthering your expertise in your special-interest area, plus some canny Cancerian self-marketing. Note to self: old equipment and/or ideas will have to go to make room for new ones… LEO: The planet of abundance in your economic zone is excellent news, though to succeed with certain visionary ideas an attitude of sinuous flexibility will be necessary, so just forget about stubborn. Don’t take criticism too personally this week – if it fits, wear it and make it work for you, otherwise just shrug it off.

VIRGO: Your birthday month kicks off with Mercury buffing up your cred and generous Jupiter settling in for its once-everytwelve-years visit. So take a break from quality control: it’s time for your closeup, Virgo. The next four weeks are selfie time – all about you receiving the acclaim and accolades due for all you do.

FEELING THE BERN!

AQUARIUS: No way you’ll be bored with this week’s Mars triggering an influx of dynamic personalities to stir up your world – at the same time as you’re undergoing the snaky skin-shedding of an old persona. Saturn grounds this powerful process so you can see clearly where you’re progressing, and what still needs further work.

PISCES: People’s analytical attitudes and critical assessments might be irritating, but are they accurate? Don’t care? Okaaaay… According to Piscean botanist Luther Burbank: Flowers always make people better, happier, and more helpful; they are sunshine, food and medicine for the soul. Change this week by giving someone flowers.

I’d do is… take a helicopter ride. The worst thing about getting older is… I’m no longer under warranty. The best thing about getting older is… being able to be ‘oldpeople honest’ about everything.

ABC TV’s Funny man, media entertainer and radio host Peter Berner, is seriously funny.

If I had a day alone with Tony Abbott I’d… spend it listening to the Best of Bette Midler.

Maybe you only know Berner as host of The Einstein Factor or BackBerner, and if that’s the case you have missed out on one of the smartest standups we have.

The problem with climate change is… having to carry an umbrella all the time… just in case.

Berner is adept at tackling a broad range of subjects, from bad knees to politics to being a dad at 50.

I am at my best… when no-one is looking.

One of my greatest strengths as a father is… a good credit history.

If I got into politics the first thing

BYRON BALLET GALA

When I look back at how I dressed in the 80s I think… why didn’t more people follow my lead and dress like Dave Sullivan. People who believe in conspiracy theories… are hiding in my attic. In my wildest dream I… get a tax refund.

The one place I wish I never went was… if I couldn’t tell my therapist I’m sure as hell not telling you. I am often mistaken for… the guy from Breaking Bad, but usually only by people I’m selling meth to. When I drive I… assume everyone else can’t. When I am onstage I… am at peace. Berner is onstage at Club Lennox this Saturday with Mandy Nolan as they present a knockout comedy dinner show.

I once dreamt I made love to… an alien... but it WASN’T a dream. I swear to God!

Tickets are $65 and include a 2-course meal and are available at clublennox.com.au and at the club, 10 Stewart St, Lennox Head.

The strangest compliment I have ever had… was from a prison doctor.

SOUTHPAW

You’d think that, having turned eighty, Woody Allen might have finally gotten over himself. That is not the case, however, if this typically egocentric movie is anything to go by. As usual, the protagonist, Abe (Joaquin Phoenix), a drink-addled college lecturer, is irresistible to a much younger woman, his student Jill (Emma Stone). Both characters discuss many of the story’s plot points as well as their own motivations through voice-overs, which, for such a skilled and experienced director, seems a slovenly device when so heavily relied upon. It also feels more than just a bit icky hearing Jill constantly tell us (and her boyfriend) how fascinating she finds Abe – it’s like Allen writing a love-letter to himself.

Let’s not beat about the bush; if you’re not into boxing flicks you will want to avoid this one like the plague. My companion (of the fairer sex) scathingly referred to it as ‘Rocky #587’ and tore strips off me for having the temerity to say that I quite enjoyed it! No other movie is quite so formulaic as the one about a prizefighter slugging it out to redeem himself. This is no different, but what the hell – ‘wish fulfilment’ should never be underestimated as a hook to get a bloke involved in a story.

Allen’s style has generally tended towards the stagey, with a sometimes stifling wordiness and it is only in the latter stages of this that there is anything at stake that you might get your teeth into. The longer it goes, the closer it resembles his genuinely cold and unsettling Match Point (2005), even down to ascribing fate’s fickleness to a small inanimate object – here a torch, there a ring. If there is a difference between the two films – and this is in no way comic, either – it might be that he has decided to not sit on the fence when it comes to meting out justice. It’s not vintage Allen, but there’s enough to keep you engaged.

IRRATIONAL MAN Abe’s problem is that he can no longer ‘get it up’ for the women who throw themselves at him. He goes through the existential wringer in coping with it, but unexpectedly rediscovers his mojo through the planning of a perfect and, to him, justifiable murder. Allen is not the first to look at the link between sex and death, but if you’ve not read Kierkegaard, Kant and other such philosophers (I haven’t), you might find the first half of the movie dour, lifeless and glib. It’s only after the major turning point things get interesting, as Abe is confronted by a moral dilemma that he had not foreseen.

We all know that it will culminate in a title bout in the final scene, and that the bloodied hero will take a fearful pounding from his punk opponent before, in the last round, digging deep to find the will and strength to land a haymaker on the jaw of the bad guy, who will then fall in epic slo-mo to the canvas. Billy Hope (Jake Gyllenhaal), world light-heavyweight champ, has his wife (Rachel McAdams) die in his arms after an ill-tempered dust-up at a black-tie fundraiser. His life goes off the rails, he loses his title and his heart is broken when his cute little girl is taken into care. There is only one way to go when you hit rock bottom, and Jake – C’mon Jake! C’mon! – embarks on that steep and perilous journey of attaining grace under the guidance of the wise old trainer Tick Wills (Forest Whitaker). It is important to remember that cliché rarely drifts too far from reality – the melodramatic careers of the great Ali and Iron Mike Tyson were both profoundly influenced by their mentors, Angelo Dundee and ‘Cus’ D’Amato. That’s the thing about boxing – repellent though it is to many, stuff like this actually happens. Antoine Fuqua’s film is sentimental to the point of mawkishness, the fights are extremely brutal, and Gyllenhaal’s performance is indulgently woebegone (Billy’s scars and bruises never seem to mend). And the winner is…!

Byron secure finals berth

Too much fun in Byron to Bruns

The Engerneer

Byron Bay have capped off a great year in the Far North Coast Rugby Union First Grade Competition with a win over Southern Cross University securing them second place overall and a start in the major semifinal. The Bay will take on the undefeated Wollongbar Alstonville on Saturday with a spot in the Grand Final up for grabs. Byron finished the last game of the regular season in style, with a comprehensive 57–5 win over the Gold Rats at home. The Bay looked to take control from the kick-off and some good early pressure from the home side had captain Harvey Bell scoring in the corner for the opening try of the game. From the restart, strong running from the Bay’s forwards had the Gold Rats’ defence back-pedalling. This provided the platform for the backs to spread the ball wide and exhibit some pace. The backs were led by the Bay’s flyhalf Brandon Lewsey, who was orchestrating the plays superbly. After more attacking pressure, Byron’s big Will Aisake rampaged over the line for the home side’s second try. This sparked an attacking onslaught and it wasn’t long before Byron’s prop-turnedtry-scoring-machine Jack Elborn crashed over under the posts for the Bay’s third try. Not to be outdone by the forwards, Brandon Lewsey ran through a gap like a gazelle in flight and sent Jascha

CHESS

by Ian Rogers Play at Byron Services Club, Mon 7pm It might be thought that Li Chao’s impressive match win this month over Peter Leko would be cause for celebration in China, but Li’s rise up the world rankings – now #14 – is resulting in severe embarrassment for the Chinese Chess Federation. Li, 26, has been banned from all Chinese teams and tournaments for more than a year. The details of the black ban are murky but it involves a dispute with the sponsor of one of the powerful Beijing clubs, who then exerted influence to have Li shunned nationally. So, despite breaking into the top 20 and now knocking on

Saeck streaking away for his first try of the game. Byron’s speedster James Oakley chipped in with a try of his own before the halftime whistle that saw the blue and white leading 33–0. From the start of the second half Byron made their intentions clear as birthday boy Jascha Saeck ran away for his second try. The dazzling inside centre finished with a hat-trick for the game. Another try each to James Oakley and Harvey Bell put the game well out of reach and capped off a successful 80 minutes for the Bay. The team song was sung loud and proud as coach Paul Jeffery nominated Brandon Lewsey as best on field with mentions given to Jascha Saeck, Harvey Bell, Jesse Novley and Miles Wood. The big test for the Bay is this coming Saturday, with the major semifinal being played at the Pioneers’ home ground in Wollongbar. There is a supporters’ bus heading to the game with seats available – keep an eye on the website / Facebook throughout the week for the door of the top 10, invitations to elite tournaments have eluded him, perhaps because for Chinese players they tend to be routed through the national federation. The win over Leko, a former World Championship challenger, may change that. Though Leko has drifted down the rankings, he remains a formidable match player, especially playing in his hometown of Szeged. However, though Li was frequently outplayed strategically, the Chinese GM kept his head and waited for tactical misses by Leko. In the fourth of the six-game contest Leko (White) won a pawn but found that his opponent had set up a deadly pin. From the diagram, left, Li continued 40...Rf2! 41.Qc1 Rxf3 42.Nb1 Qf6 Patience, serving to illustrate White’s helplessness. 43.Qd2 Rh3 44.Qe2 Rh1! Threatening 45...Rxb1+. 45.Nd2 Qd4 46.Qe3 Qg4! 0–1 A surprising resignation but the threat of 47...Qd1! is unstoppable.

Now Li is asking some awkward questions. Can the ban on him be continued when it may cost China Olympic gold in 2016? And should the CCF be bypassed and Li invited directly to elite tournaments?

Byron Rams best in the end Dogwhistle

Saturday’s final round of the Football Far North Coast Premier League competition saw reigning poinstcore champions, the Northern Hotel Byron Bay Rams, finish the season with a comfortable 1–0 victory over Alstonville. The Byron Bay squad has led the field for the entire season and finished the competition seven points clear at the top of the table. Not so fortunate were the Reserve Grade Rams who, despite an emphatic 5–0 win over ’Villa’s reserves, had to settle for second spot after last week’s loss to Rovers. With a number of players being rested for the finals series, Saturday’s squad was

very lean and many of the Reserves squad pulled double shifts in the Prems. The Reserves overcame the slippery conditions to completely dominate their Alstonville hosts. Conor Cannon opened the scoring just four minutes in off a cross from Will Ennis. Seven minutes later a cross from Tai Flanagan found Ennis up front, who finished cleanly to make it 2–0. Moments later, Herick Schuenemann flew high above the pack to head in a sweetly delivered corner from Cannon. With the lead well established and the Alstonville side looking demoralised, coach Jeremy began rotating his players to conserve his resources for the Premiers

match. Minutes into the second half, a scrappy goalmouth skirmish had the ball bouncing from player to post and was finally resolved with another goal-scoring header from Schuenemann taking the lead to 4–0. A Villa handball in the final quarter gave Byron a free kick from just outside the box. Steve Kirkpatrick made no mistake and the match finished with the Rams Reserves five goals up. In the Premiers match, the Rams faced a tough young Alstonville side that was eager to take some points from the champions. With half of the Reserves backing up for the Prems, and many of the regular top side resting up, the Rams had a battle on their hands. While they

had the upper hand throughout, much of the match was spent in gritty midfield battles punctuated by attacking breaks from the Rams. The tedium was finally broken when speedster Tyson Kaye broke away from the pack, sprinted from the halfway and slipped a ball past the keeper to give Byron the lead. A penalty to Alstonville in the dying moments looked like taking a point from the Rams but a brilliant save from keeper Chris Jones preserved the win for the Rams. As Pointscore Champions, the Prems now have a week off while the Reserves play their first semifinal against third-placed rival, Lismore Thistles, at the Rec Grounds this Sunday at 2.30.

Right: Ubiquitous Mullumbimby busking band The Budz have been plying the second-oldest trade in the world outside Dennett’s IGA supermarket on Saturday mornings for the last few years. Formerly known as the legendary Vince Beck’s backing band The Vipers, Steve Berriman, Donny McCormack, Norm Appel and Brian Mollet decided to play on after Vince’s death in 2013, adding Jerry De Munga as vocalist. Honing their act on the streets of Mullumbimby, ‘the place dreams go to die’, according to Iggy Azalea, they have finally succumbed to the narcissistic urge to record themselves. After ensconcing themselves in the famous ‘Shabby Road’ studio (Norm’s workshop), their new album Riff Raff Revue will be launched this Saturday live on the street outside Dennett’s at 11am.

Three cheers for firey Trudy Ashworth and her team mates for rescuing a seagull hanging upside down from a power pole at Brunswick Heads footbridge last week, held fast by discarded fishing line. Trudy climbed up, bagged the gull and with the

help of her team mates unravelled the bird from its prison. The gull successfully flew away. It’s a stark reminder to fisherfolk to pick up fishing line and even those who don’t fish can retrieve line they see lying around. Birds as big and strong as pelicans can be condemned to a slow, horrible death from entanglement. You can find out more at http://seabirdrescue.org.
