The annual Back to Brunswick Hot Rod Run came to town last weekend. Visitors had the chance to see dozens of immaculate vehicles, including this 1927 Doctor’s Highboy Coupe. The only tarnish on owner Pauline Blenkins’s shiny show was losing a ring of great sentimental value near the pub. Pauline is offering a reward to the ring’s finder. Contact The Echo for details.

Lennox BMX track plans spark argy bargy An independent Ballina Shire councillor pushing for a BMX track on a Lennox Head nature reserve has again come under fire from neighbouring residents, who accuse him of misrepresenting them. The development proposal is located at Ocean Breeze Reserve, and neighbours claim that the area has an 18-year-long history of residents wanting it to remain a ‘passive recreation’ area. A code of conduct complaint has been lodged with Ballina Shire Council by resident Allison Goodman against Cr Jeff Johnson, with claims he is spreading false claims about the affected neighbours through a let-

terbox drop. She says claims made in the letter were ‘misleading and disrespectful.’ In her complaint to the general manager, Ms Goodman also says information about the track lacks detail. She claims a July 7 letter to residents from Cr Johnson states that the adjoining landowners have made ‘outrageous claims’ in regard to increased crime and noise. She said, ‘These are not claims, these were legitimate questions raised by residents for were formally invited by [Council] to give feedback on this proposal.’ Among other complaints was the distribution of the letter with his ti-

tle as councillor stapled to an official council document. ‘It is extremely misleading and he has used his position to influence and take advantage for his own personal interest.’ But Cr Johnson refutes the claims, and provided The Echo with letters from residents in support. He said ‘It’s amazing the lengths Ms Goodman will go to in her unrelenting attempt to have the proposed children’s bike track located away from the park which adjoins her property. There is no interest like selfinterest, even if it is only perceived.’ ‘I stand by my comments about the outrageous claims that Ms Goodman has made.’

Mullumbimby affordable housing bid contested Luis Feliu & Hans Lovejoy

Byron Shire councillors opposed to a controversial 10-unit development on the site of an old fibro cottage in Stuart Street, Mullumbimby, have lodged a rescission motion in a bid to overturn last month’s narrow approval. The four councillors backing the local community against the plan for the development, on a singlehouse block, are Crs Simon Richardson, Duncan Dey, Basil Cameron and Rose Wanchap. The rescission motion will be dealt with at Byron Shire Council’s meeting of August 4. Surprisingly, Labor-affiliated Cr Paul Spooner unusually sided with the pro-development faction of Crs Sol Ibrahim, Di Woods, Chris Cubis and Alan Hunter in approving the contentious development, which council staff say would add to the stock of ‘affordable’ housing in the town. But locals argue it would set a precedent for increased density. Almost 100 objecting submissions were overruled in the approval, as well as more than 1,000 signatures on an online petition. Just three of the ten dwellings (30 per cent of the floor area) are actually proposed to be let as affordable housing. Mayor Richardson told The Echo his only issue, ‘was the number of units, and therefore the lack of car spaces and the tiny size of apartments.’ He said, ‘I totally support affordable housing, yet this would have been great if it were six to eight units rather than ten.’

‘Because of the feedback given by myself, who opposed the plan as submitted, the developers have agreed to voluntarily reconsider the design. ‘The applicants have entered into discussions with staff and me about amendments to the design and site layout of the proposal to address issues raised. ‘This is potentially another example of the benefits of some councillors having the courage to say “no, it can actually lead to better outcomes”.’

Negative message Meanwhile Cr Spooner said it ‘sends a very negative message about dealing with Byron Shire Council as it is a clear attempt to frustrate an approved redevelopment.’ He said, ‘I believe it is an abuse of process, should be reconsidered and withdrawn.’ ‘Do we want Mullumbimby to go the same way as Byron Bay in terms of over-priced redevelopment?’ Cr Spooner also doesn’t believe it will lead to a precedent as the affordable housing policy allows for such density. But resident Daniel Smallwood says the plan did not pass or comply with the character test in Clause 16A of the SEPP (State Environmental Planning Policy 2011), which urges that consideration be given to whether the design of the development is compatible with the character of the local area. He said, ‘We acknowledge there is a lack of affordable housing in Mullumbimby, and something needs to be done. But this proposal is not the answer.’

“I love showing people how they can beat the electricity network and save money with solar power. Why support big coal and CSG companies to profit from your electricity use? Take back your power Now!”

The main stages will cease operation at midnight. Audio testing will take place on Thursday 21 July during event hours. You may have recently heard that approval has been granted to modify the sound limits at North Byron Parklands. What does this mean? North Byron Parklands now have legal limits in place for bass or ‘bottom end’ noise. Previously there were no such limits. Importantly, these new restrictions will not allow North Byron Parklands to increase the actual noise from events. Rather the limits will establish measurable and enforceable controls. It is important however to understand that the very nature of outdoor events means that some sound may be heard from time to time at your residence. North Byron Parklands are legally licensed to generate a certain amount of noise during operating hours. We will always endeavour to minimise sound coming from the venue and we sincerely appreciate your understanding during these 4 event days.

COMMUNITY HOTLINE The Splendour in the Grass Community Hotline will be in operation from Wednesday 20 July to Monday 25 July inclusive. The hotline will be staffed during the event hours, and a recorded message service will operate outside of these hours.

Local News Byron Trails launched

Ocean Shores art expo entries close July 31

The long-awaited guidebook of walking trails around Byron Bay was launched recently. Byron Trails contains 50 coastal and hinterland walks from Tweed River to Richmond River and inland to the national parks accessible from Byron Bay. Mairéad Cleary, the book’s author, successfully crowdfunded the book seven months ago thanks to sponsors like Blk Superwater, Crystal Castle, The Bay Retreats and Santos Organics, as well as the wider community who generously supported. Mayor Simon Richardson and Greens MP Tamara Smith attended the launch, with mayor Richardson congratulating Ms Cleary and the contributors to the project. The book will be available in bookshops and visitor centres as well as via www.byrontrails.com.

Ocean Shores Art Expo president Ri Fraser has announced a major prize for the art show which runs from August 26 till 28. ‘It’s a bit like the Packers’ Prize’, she said, ‘We started it last year. ‘Since the committee sees and handles the works as they come in and assists with hanging we get to know the works pretty well. ‘We’ll find one that we all agree on which shows skill, soul, and relates to the 2016 theme “What Matters?”

Brian blasts off

$4,200 in prizes

Last Saturday evening, late longtime resident of Main Arm village and former Byron Shire councillor Brian Knuckey’s ashes were sent sky high over Mullumbimby Showgrounds in a colourful display of music-choreographed fireworks. The event was attended by Brian’s friends from far and wide and family (some having travelled from New Zealand for the occasion). An after-party was held at Brian’s home in Main Arm, where stories, food, and fire were shared late into the night. Vale, Brian! Photo Eve Jeffery.

Destination NSW to boost regional tourism governance is improved… and the key destinations and regions [that the networks] represent, can improve their effectiveness and destination management planning to attract even more visitors.’ The report claims regional tourism numbers climbed nearly six per cent from last year, and expenditure is at $10.5 billion, ‘up 2.9 per cent on last year.’ It reads, ‘The NSW government has a goal of doubling overnight visitor expenditure by 2020. The regional visitor economy currently employs 73,900 people in regional NSW and we know that it has

The NSW government has slated $43 million over four years in an effort to attract visitors to regional and rural areas. Entitled Driving Growth of the Visitor Economy in Regional NSW, a 20-page glossy document was released last week, and says six new Destination Networks will be created throughout NSW. Minister for trade, tourism and major events, Stuart Ayres (Liberal), said in the foreword, ‘NSW is by far the number one destination for visitors in and to Australia and is consistently growing.’ He claims the reforms mean ‘more funding is guaranteed,

potential for further growth.’ Byron Bay-based MLC Ben Franklin (Nationals) says the establishment of the North Coast Destination Network will be a win for tourism in the region. It’s a result of a review in 2015 by the board of Destination NSW (DNSW), and the role of Destination Networks (DNs) ‘will predominantly be destination managers.’ The report says their core responsibilities will be ‘industry engagement and industry development, product development, training and education, preliminary review of local RVEF (Regional Visi-

tor Economy Fund) applications and collaboration with DNSW on industry activities. For more information visit dnsw.com.au/destinationnetworks.

‘Last year’s winner didn’t get our phone calls.

‘Mary Minard was stunned when she arrived to pick up her painting at the end of the show – she’d won $1,000.’ Ms Fraser says first and second prizes, totalling $4,200, are donated by local businesses and selected by the panel of five judges. This year they are Hobie Porter (artist and lecturer), Ros Goodchild (Mina Mina gallery), Kate Nutt (photographer Brunswick Heads), Karena Wynn-Moylan (artist and radio presenter), and David Hickson (sculptor and lecturer). Entries close at midnight on July 31. Info and entries online at www.osartexpo.com.

When govts fail to act on plastics… Pot targeted while ice ignored Nimbin residents rally against cannabis arrests Anna James

A group of Byron Shire women calling themselves the Byron Mermaids have begun sewing reusable shopping bags in an effort to reduce the number of plastic bags being used. The Mermaids held a rally last month calling on the state government to ban plastic bags in NSW, and also took part in a ministerial roundtable earlier this year on the subject. But as there has ‘not been a peep from the powers-that-be in Sydney’, the Byron Mermaids are now taking the matter into their own hands…

Council meet in secret this Thursday Councillors and staff will be in a confidential session to presumably thrash out the implications of ‘legal options and likely impediments to the implementation of planned retreat, so as to identify the processes and the challenges.’ Planned retreat is currently being overturned by the majority councillors in

an effort to give legal passage to unnamed and an unknown number of Belongil landowners, many of whom bought on that erosion hotspot in the knowledge they could not rely on Council to protect their property. Additionally, staff and Council’s insurers will table options for a pre-court settle-

ment with 16 Belongil landowners.

Class action The class action is being brought against Council in October. Cr Dey told The Echo, ‘It will be one of the biggest decisions councillors will make, but we can’t share.’

Continued police raids on Nimbin’s cannabis market will see an increase in the ice [methamphetamine] trade, warned Sofia Hoeben from the Nimbin Action Group. Garnering cheers from the 50-plus crowd, Hoeben led a public ‘Smoke in’ on Saturday, where the Nimbin community converged to support the 11 street dealers who were arrested in Rainbow Lane on June 28. ‘Leave our town alone,’ Hoeben boomed into a microphone to applause in Mingle Park – yet the Nimbin police were not present, nor answered when we visited their station for comment. The recently arrested dealers are known as ‘lane boys,’ and are described by residents as ‘communityminded’, ‘honest’ and ‘polite’. They are a group of young men who staunchly oppose the sale of ice [methamphetamine] in Nimbin. Hoeben said the lane boys routinely undertake ‘scum patrol’ which identifies and makes ice and ‘hard drug’

dealers unwelcome in Nimbin. ‘Their arrests [by police] were very violent and unnecessary,’ said Hoeben ‘They [police] left the ice dealers alone, only giving them a move on order in the park, and the very next day they busted the boys here for a herb. ‘The sell only marijuana, no hard drugs, and we feel like the police coming down heavily on marijuana is ridiculous in this day and age when we are so confronted as a society with the hard drugs that are killing our kids,’ said Hoeben.

Terminally ill seeking relief ‘Many people come to our town for pain relief, the terminally ill come here, people with cancer come here, from all over the world,’ said Hoeben. Another local said that the police raids were ‘overkill.’ HEMP Embassy volunteer Francis Moonshadow said, ‘A lot of the locals are protesting and sticking up for the boys because it [the raid] was just overkill. [The police] know they can come to Nimbin and

[arrest pot dealers]; it’s easy revenue.’ ‘I’ve been here for twentyfive years,’ said one unidentified cafe worker, ‘I know these boys, I’ve seen them grow up. They are actually health-focused and fit. They hate ice. They protect this town.’ At the protest, a group of young men in baseball caps watched the protest from afar, interjecting with ‘free the boys’ when the crowd grew silent. Hoeben argues that the Rainbow Lane was a ‘safe place’ to purchase cannabis for a fair price as opposed to entering the ‘risky’ and ‘dangerous’ Gold Coast market. ‘We consider hard drugs the problem, we consider the police approaching our town as a problem,’ said Hoeben. ‘Economically, the town goes downhill when the police come in – businesses lose money, tourists don’t come and locals are afraid to come into town for fear of getting caught up in another raid. ‘We’ve been putting up with it for a long time. Enough is enough!’ said Hoeben. Q For more information visit www.annajjames.com.

Lessons from a near-death experience

Volume 31 #05

July 13, 2016

Dogs of war needed house training The Chilcot Report of the Iraq Inquiry is a 12-volume, 2.6 millionword manifesto on why members of parliament, and in particular heads of state, should be held fully accountable for their actions when they are incompetent and malicious. The 2003 invasion is universally known to be based on lies about weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and killed perhaps 55,000 civilians (men, women and children), according to Iraq Body Count in 2006. While the war is supposed to have ended in 2011, the suicide bombings continue. Chilcot reports that for the first time since World War II, the UK took part in an opposed invasion and full-scale occupation of a sovereign state – Iraq. It was led by the US and eagerly supported by Australia and Poland. Yes Poland; as invasions go, it was underwhelmingly united. The facts that surround the debacle are well known – military action in March 2003 came without support of the UN Security Council. Avenues such as sanctions had not been exhausted. Yet the dogs of war, led by Bush (US), Blair (UK), Howard (AU) and Murdoch (Evil Sith Overlord) set us on a path that has now produced ISIS, a rapidly disintegrating Middle East and the largest refugee crisis since WWII. Was constant destabilisation of the region the plan? In a classic case of a disease masquerading as its own cure, then-PM John Howard, Tony Blair (UK) and Murdoch’s News Corp minions argued last week that they did the right thing. They blamed intelligence when there were clearly other intelligence available at the time. And other options. The problem with sociopaths is you cannot reason with them. Sociopaths do not accept an obvious truth; they deny accountability and are without remorse or empathy. The only thing that holds sociopaths to account is law and public opinion (ie elections). But in this case, there are no enforceable laws for this atrocity and public opinion is largely owned and controlled by the most influential sociopath of them all – Rupert Murdoch. How else can an anti-refugee sentiment exist when it’s clear the 2003 Iraqi war and subsequent wars created the refugees? All these people should be held accountable, just as mass murderers should.

ven before the wash-up, one thing was both clear and unanimous: nobody, but nobody, wants another election. Bill Shorten suggested that perhaps Malcolm Turnbull might, but the triumphalist (although still defeated) opposition leader was just adding a mischievous addendum to the campaign. If Turnbull even considered the possibility, the remaining members of his party room would lynch them just before the raging mobs of voters got the opportunity. This is why the crossbenchers are scrambling to promise supply and confidence even when it is certain that Turnbull does not really need it – he will scrape over the line to secure majority government. But the crossbenchers are keen to take out insurance. As even the maverick conservative Bob Katter has observed, they do so without enthusiasm; they have no desire to embrace the torn and tattered regime of Mr Harbourside Mansion. But anything is better than the risk of another tortuous journey back to the polls. And of course, Turnbull will cling to his thin majority like a baby koala to its mother. Like Tony Abbott in February last year, he survived the neardeath experience. And again like Abbott, the real question is whether he is smart enough to learn from it and survive, or whether the vengeful hounds behind him will remorselessly tear him down. He will attempt to feed them titbits and scraps; Peter Dutton, we are assured by his backers in The Australian, is up for promotion. But the serious lurkers at the threshold – Kevin Andrews, Eric Abetz and of course Tony Abbott himself – will not be invited back in the tent. This may infuriate the ultra-

conservatives in the Liberal Party, but it is sensible policy; if Turnbull actually means what he says about trying to unite the parliament and the people, the last thing he wants to do is capitulate to the extreme right and offer succour and solace to the divisive rump. However, any efforts toward mediation are likely to be frustrated when it comes to the intractable problem of budget repair. The self-appointed arbiters of fiscal rectitude, the credit

mode is largely bluster and bravado, but it is a clear signal that sensible compromise is not on the table – at least not in the foreseeable future. As was Tony Abbott’s approach to the governments of Kevin Rudd and Julia Gillard, the aim is to destabilise, to make parliament as unworkable as possible. He will encourage the crossbench – especially those in the senate – to refuse as much legislation as he can muster. He will ensure that any talk of a joint

Turnbull will cling to his thin majority like a baby koala to its mother. by Mungo MacCallum agencies, have put it on notice: if we don’t do what they tell us to, they will take away our AAA rating, a sanction which the hard-line economists liken to burning at the stake. Conservatives who abhor the influence of unelected officials – judges of the High Court, for instance – fawn and grovel at the behest of the trans-national bean counters. If Turnbull and Scott Morrison feel they have to agree to the demands, there is actually a very simple remedy: forget about the national economic plan for ten years of company tax cuts and implement moderate and sensible measures to curb spending – you might, for instance, want to cut down on the tax perks involving negative gearing and capital gains tax. Only joking; Turnbull’s homilies about less rancour and vituperation within the body politic do not extend to an admission that his own scare campaigns were always as fraudulent as Bill Shorten’s. And Shorten is equally unrepentant. Putting his party straight back into campaign

sitting to resolve any impasse is not feasible. This will be characterised by his opponents, most notably in the Murdoch press and its followers, as irresponsible politics, but for Labor it will simply be payback time and they are unlikely to lose much sleep over the commentators’ complaints. And of course he will make certain that the so-called zombie measures from the 2014 budget remain in their coffins. It will all be very hard for Malcolm Turnbull, but it will be diabolical for the hapless Scott Morrison who, after a campaign which was never convincing and usually just bad, will be the fall guy for the fiasco. Morrison has never become credible as a treasurer; even when he has been coached into his role he always sounds as if he is reading from a brief he does not really understand, and when he is on his own he appears to be making it up as he goes along. It didn’t work last time and it is certainly not going to work under the fraught circumstances of the new parliament.

In the circumstances it is fortunate there is very little waiting on the notice paper. There is, of course, the nitty-gritty of the budget, but apart from the corporate tax plan, which no-one expects to survive for more than the first three years, most of the detail is uncontroversial – except superannuation. This will be a big problem for the Liberal Party, which believes it is on a promise to have the concessions to the wealthy restored, or at the very least ameliorated. Morrison will resist, but Turnbull may be more malleable. If he concedes, he looks weak; if he stands firm, he risks protracted civil war. Not an enticing prospect. With other legislation – assuming any can be found – the approach will probably be to point it at the senate and hope for the best. Talk of a mandate will be absurd; whatever the final composition of the upper house will be, it is clear that there will be a lot of self-important people with their own agendas, and anything they are willing to concede to the government will have a hefty price – which, we will be repeatedly assured, the nation cannot afford. About the only thing that will deter the urgers will be the ultimate threat: a return to the polls. And for the moment at least, that may not be sufficient. We have got used to the idea of continuous jockeying for power, in the parties, in the parliament and even in the streets. If Malcolm Turnbull has a mandate for anything, it is to bring it to a stop. The imperative will be to dismount from the perpetual floating election campaign: to unify the party room, dominate the parliament and assuage the voters. And while he is at it, unscramble eggs, square the circle and spin straw into gold. And above all to quell the talk of a new election.

Saddling up Local group Friends of The Saddle Road was surprised to read about Kelvin Daly’s ‘ambitious plan’ (‘New eco-village model unveiled’) in last week’s Echo and looks forward to learning more when the website goes up. ‘Community’ being one of the principles upon which the proposed development is based, the dearth of consultation with the existing Saddle Road community sits uneasily. Rosy Whelan Friends of The Saddle Road

Bypass agendas It is absolutely extraordinary and just plain brutal that Council general manager Ken Gainger should now propose, on the eve of securing approval for his Butler Street bypass, a rail corridor concept plan to ‘unlock the potential of the railway corridor for the

community’. The Butler Street Community Network has been campaigning for years to secure the rail corridor for the town’s much-needed traffic and transport needs but Council continually resisted, putting up unfounded objections, lazy excuses and misleading information to deny the possibility. Now we have this absurd proposal to ram a main road through critical wetland, heritage neighbourhood and busy pedestrian market precinct while we reforest, landscape and commercialise our adjacent purpose-built infrastructure corridor. Something quite irrational appears to be happening here if you were not privy to the real agenda, which is the rail trail takeover of the corridor. The rail trail has the backing of Council’s general manager and Don Page, the for-

mer local member and now chairman of Regional Development Australia Northern Rivers. The rail trail business plan seeks exclusive control over the rail corridor; they will not share the Byron Bay stretch with a bypass road because they seek to maximise commercial return from the likes of Ken Gainger’s pop-up cafes, boutiques, shops and so much more. What we are left with is a very expensive bypass that is not a bypass, a rail corridor developed solely as a further tourist attraction and destruction of our side of town with the very real possibility of wholesale commercialisation of Butler Street as locals sell out and move on. If our mayor has no regrets, then one has to wonder. Simon Richardson again rolls out the old chestnut that Council would have lost its

bypass funding if they rightly realised the superiority of the rail corridor route. This is a completely misleading statement. We have examined the Strategic Business Case made to Transport for NSW for funding of the bypass project. In no case was the funding made conditional to the Butler Street bypass route; in fact it was clearly stated that ‘further options for development continue so that a preferred option can be further refined and implemented’ and that there was no ‘recommended option’. It is all smoke and mirrors, they say, but we see right through them. Paul Jones President, Butler Street Community Network

TPP dangers While the political pundits debated which arm of the LibLab Party would win government it is easy, in the circus excitement, to forget who, increasingly, holds real sovereignty over Australia: corporate America. Obama pushes for the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) while Hillary Clinton nominally opposes it. It is likely the TPP will slide through Congress in the interregnum between the presidential election in November and the inauguration of the new presidency in January. Once ratified in America it will quickly come before our parliament for ratification. We will be expected to fall into line – as, alas, we always do: pushovers. The Liberal and Labor parties both give unqualified support for this ‘agreement’. The TPP is specifically designed to drain sovereignty from national governments and their citizens and syphon it to trans-national corporations. Central to the TPP are Investor-State Dispute Settlement provisions (ISDS). These allow corporations to sue governments for, among other things, loss of anticipated profits in circumstances where, but for legislation intended to serve national interests, social conditions or

Congratulations, Ken Gainger. Support for the future use of the corridor for rail is very important for the region. This may not prevent other uses, if compatible. The short-term push for other uses, if they will preclude rail, is not in the longterm interest of Byron Shire! Roger Seccombe Bangalow

Dunstan’s past I am a visitor from Melbourne to your wonderful Shire. I read with interest the article in the July 6 edition describing Graeme Dunstan as a ‘veteran anti-war activist’.

What I didn’t know then, but do now as a result of his own admissions in his blog, is that Graeme was also an ASIO

policies, profits would have been greater. Cases brought by corporations would be heard and decided, not in national courts but in secretive tribunals run by gun-for-hire arbitrators and inaccessible to community-interest organisations. This tedious, backroom stuff presents a very real and substantial threat to Australian society as we know it. Two critical issues are Medicare and gun control. Once the TPP becomes the head policy document of the economy, American ‘health care’ (joke term) corporations will infiltrate our society to replace a shrivelling Medicare and public hospital system. Public health care in Australia will become second-rate and vestigial. We will be thoroughly screwed by American health profiteers. And can there be any doubt American gun makers and dealers would love to Americanise our gun laws? After all, only Australian laws stand between them and anticipated mega-profits. What better than the TPP to kick our laws down? Unless Labor finds the guts to oppose this insidious agreement only concerted community action and a refractory senate, where the Greens might find themselves voting with Pauline Hanson, will stop the TPP coming into force in Australia.

He can mouth the glib and obvious as well as anybody, as in shooting down the insane excesses of a mad plan for Belongil. A half-blind duck with a sore throat could see it was stupidity and speak convincingly against it. The problem is, in fact, the slimy horror that exists behind the shallow oratory. In truth, the Greens as a whole have the same problem: the reality behind the appearance and voiced intent. Locally, we’ve had more than a decade of Green mayors and elected majorities. Green councillors have not distinguished themselves, and I hate having to say this because I’ve voted for them, relied upon them, and trusted them for 24 years. The three key areas for councils are: day-to-day operation at a reasonable cost to the community, planning for the future desired by the community and, above all, the wellbeing of residents through maintenance of the law. Aspirational issues include better urban and rural living, a better democracy, and an end to corruption. What has happened? Tolerance of illegal activities. Atrocious planning. Ratepayers and residents shouldering unreasonable costs. Democracy going nowhere new. People without homes. Business without customers. Toilets without privacy! This is the legacy of glib words, and disgusting

Fate of greyhounds

The news that greyhound racing will be banned in NSW and the ACT is most welcome. As premier Mike Baird said, this industry is responsible for the unnecessary slaughtering of tens of thousands of healthy dogs. Now that the industry has been given notice to close down, the fate of thousands more is uncertain. The government must ensure that the greyhound racing industry stops all breeding programs immediately in order to make certain that there are not even more dogs in need of ‘forever homes’. Over the next year, any money earmarked for building or renovating tracks should be reallocated to promote desexing and dogadoption programs. Greyhounds are gentle, friendly dogs who love nothing better than human company, a kind word and a loving touch. If you are thinking of taking a new companion

into your home, a greyhound, or any shelter dog, will offer loyalty and affection. Please don’t buy a dog from a breeder and sentence one of these beautiful animals to an early death; adopt a companion and offer him or her, and yourself, many years of joy and love.

Brexit brouhaha

Sage: there’s a misnomer if ever there was one (Echo articles, July 6). His personal views, portrayed as facts, have dragged me out of my lethargy and compelled me for the first time in many years to write to your venerable publication (which should, it must be said, check this stuff out before printing it). He is a classic whingeing sore loser who doesn’t investigate facts at all. Who is he to say that many wish they hadn’t voted to leave? He is closeted in London and like so many London residents feels that any other point of view than his is worthless.

All the Brexit voters have now been branded as uneducated old racists. His assertion that ‘three-quarters of young people nationally’ voted to leave is not supportable. Less than seventy per cent of young people could actually be bothered to vote at all! Once Britain has left the EU (it’s not leaving Europe, Danny, just the grip of thousands of unelected lawmakers who decide how long to make its pasta and who can fish for what, etc), it will be free to hire people, teachers, tech industry experts etc from all over the world – India, America, China and yes, even good old Australia – instead of following the bias that says you have to be from the EU. Danny has so little faith in the British that he describes their majority vote as a ‘feat of stupidity’. Being stupid is actually staying in London, where nobody would be game to admit voting Leave for fear of the vitriol and scorn that would be rained down on them by you and your caterwauling ilk.

WE ARE OVER-GOVERNED WITH

Uki Buttery FLAWED LAWS Bazaar Market More prisons suit New World Odour The NSW Baird government is clearly led and influenced by the police. After all, NSW Nationals leader Troy Grant is a former cop. Besides making laws that give police unfettered powers, another push by this govcorp-police-state is to create a much larger prison population. It follows the corporatised US style jail system, which locks up people at the highest rate than any other nation. In June 17, the NSW Law Society said the government’s announcement of 7,000 prison beds was ‘a retrograde step highlighting the need for a public debate on law and order.’ President Gary Ulman said more resources should be ‘put into the criminal justice system to reduce the delays in hearing criminal matters and therefore the time spent on remand, and to increase accessibility to diversionary options in appropriate circumstances.’ The rapid rise in NSW prison numbers started towards the end of 2014, says Mr Ulman, and is due to ‘increased funding and powers for the police, at the same time as courts are being constrained through a lack of judicial resourcing.’ ‘Legal representation is also on the decline, with many people unable to access legal assistance due to funding shortfalls,’ he said.

Sifting through unicorn poo: the comfort of conspiracies Trump himself loves several of America’s top ten CTs, like that Barack Obama wasn’t born in the USA, and chemtrails, and vaccines. Hanson is in the senate for pushing our biggest CT: all the bad stuff is because of people whose skin is unlike hers. (By the way, have you looked at their hair side by side – Trump’s and Pauline’s? Just saying.)

Phillip Frazer

A conspiracy is when people get together and plot to do something, usually on the quiet. Like when Shorten and Gillard fixed Rudd, or Coles and Woolies fix prices, or you have the vet fix your dog. When you suspect a secret conspiracy caused something – like 9/11 or why you can’t find your iPhone – AND you can’t prove whodunit, that turns your suspicion into a conspiracy theory (CT). There’s nothing fundamentally wrong with a conspiracy – kids in grade 4 get together to grind Laxettes into the bully’s cocoa – or with a theory, or with a conspiracy theory, except when there’s too many of them and/ or they’re too weird. Then they breed frustration among citizens who care about the subject, and that frustration gives conspiracy theories a bad name. This allows people being accused of participating in a conspiracy to get off the hook just by yelling ‘that’s just a crazy conspiracy theory and you’re a nutbar!’

Tiny nuggets The world today is awash in CTs about what’s happening in politics, society, culture, religion, and the economy, partly because the rich and powerful can’t explain what’s up without indicting themselves for grand larceny and mass murder. Meanwhile, the www provides a vast supply of new explanations – with tiny nuggets of truth buried in an ocean of unicorn shit. One such truth is that the average American has sufand the north where people have had enough of being overlooked by Whitehall and the London gravy train and have cast their vote to say ‘stuff you elitists,we’re off !’ Some people are entirely unused to not getting their own way so they stamp their feet and whine while chucking hatred towards the elderly and the people who don’t live in London and share their liberal elitist views. Mr ‘Sage’, you are one of them! Power to the people. Bill Wheatley Lennox Head

fered shrinking income and declining government support, going steadily downhill since 1976 – and along the way they’ve heard politicians promise various things to make life better, most of it unicorn shit. Then, over the past 12 months of electioneering, Americans heard Senator Sanders and Donald Trump explaining why life sucks, and proposing radical ways to make things better.

Bernie’s plan

People born since 1985 could follow Sanders’ logic clearly, whereas their parents saw it as part of the communist/ socialist conspiracy – which was what rich and powerful people in their day told them social programs were – so they voted for Hillary. Or they voted for Donald Trump. Now, sometimes Trump makes some sense: Get rid of social security? ‘Not fair to the people that have been paying in for years.’ The Iraq invasion? ‘It is a disgrace. To lose all of those thousands and thousands of people, on our side and their side… All for no reason.’

claimed that ‘all our politicians seem concerned about is sending billions of dollars to overseas aid. It has to stop!’ I asked Smith how many billions we spend on aid and he answered, ‘I wouldn’t have a clue.’ Our budget is one of those huge but important things that’s very hard to get your head around, but you can look it up online. The answer is that overseas aid gets less than a quarter of one per cent of our total budget, which boils down to $137.43 per person per year. About half of our aid goes to private companies.

Essentially, Sanders said ‘You think it’s crazy that we spend more on war and weapons than we do on schools, hospitals, roads, science, bridges, the environment, and parks, all together? You’re right.’ Then Bernie told them how he would re-allocate federal spending to reverse all those sick situations. In the Democratic primaries, over 80 per cent of under-30 voters voted for Bernie instead of Hillary because she promised the same stuff her husband and other pollies have peddled for decades.

Trump declaims

Taxing times

But mostly Trump doesn’t explain so much as declaim: Why are you older guys out of work? Because Mexicans. Why are we suffering indignities like having to listen to uppity women? Because of feminism… etc. Meanwhile here in Byron, when I moderated a ‘Meet the candidates’ last month, candidate Neil Smith of Pauline Hanson’s One Nation party

And, for years now, as we’ve all tried to cope with crises too many to mention, the coalition’s mantra has been ‘too many taxes on big business’ or ‘not enough free trade’. It’s no surprise that some folks hear Trump or Hanson shooting their mouths off and think ‘that’s the most sense about politics I’ve heard in my whole life’.

amputated by our national and local debates. Well, in a sense this happens when the Murdoch press is concentrating on conservative political agendas. But ignoring the facts surrounding climate change does continue; and will no doubt be perilous as we continue to flaunt and reject the rights of nature. So I offer a simple oral tale about water. I will call it ‘and so the water just kept on rising’. In Glenelg, Adelaide, at the seafront there once was a glorious large park that flowed on from the jetty. It was a joy to ride the ‘Bay tram’ and see the wonderful view of the bay and the gentle waters of Spencers Gulf. Then out of nowhere the view disappeared completely and as close to the sand as

possible there appeared huge hotels, monoliths that privatised the view and stripped the soul of Glenelg. ‘It just happened,’ said a local. Yes, there is a wall with steps leading to the beach. To maintain the beach huge machinery continues to operate, creating ‘sacrifice zones’ in order to replenish. This has not stopped erosion and beach loss further along the beach to Brighton, nor has it stopped the waters from rising! Things are now getting a bit scary, as when the bay waters get angry, one hides under the bedcovers. During the last king tide, despite the wall, the ‘waters rose to the third step’, a local related. When things settled the sand machinery went into continual action. Indeed, it is stated that

this king tide was the highest water mark in contemporary times. We have a duty of care in 2016 to make sure that realities such as climate change are incorporated in all debates and coastal zone predictions. The waters will continue rising. There is hope if we pull our heads out of the sand and dismantle the rocks. Seven-tenths Earth’s surface is covered by water. This power is far greater than a tiny wall protecting the illegal houses of the willful who chose to develop so close to the water. Daily remember we are living in times that articulate climate change. No matter what Malcolm says the waters will keep on rising! Jo Faith Newtown

North Coast news daily: www.echonetdaily.net.au

Facts, anyone? This raises the question why don’t people hunt out the proven facts, study the hard science, and then decide? Answer: because reading the science of, say, how burning fossil fuels or grazing cattle heats up the planet is a lot more work (though probably more fun) than listening to Pauline Hanson or Cardinal Pell saying they know better than 99 per cent of people whose lives are dedicated to studying these things. And, the bigger the theory we embrace the more comforted we are that we understand all the world’s vast and unpleasant puzzles. A wonderful woman at the Mullum Market recently urged me to read an ‘incredible’ book about how the Rothschilds and other (mostly Jewish) bankers have controlled all the big stuff in the world for hundreds or perhaps thousands of years, driven by unbridled greed, etc.

This conspiracy theory wraps up all the wars we know anything about, plus immigration and asylum seeking, and financial meltdowns, interspersing it all with factoids such as who married whom and when, to give it a biblicalstyle gravitas. Underneath it all lies a tale that is indeed incredible – meaning almost entirely not credible.

Small fish Yes, by 1900 the extended family of Rothschilds were distributed widely among the boards of bankers in Europe and its colonies, but as Brian Dunning puts it on his pretty good science-based website skeptoid.com: ‘Rothschilds … is now a relatively small fish in the sea of world financial institutions [led by] Deutsche Bank, Mitsubishi UFJ Financial, HSBC, BNP Paribas, Japan Post Bank, Crédit Agricole, Barclays PLC, Industrial & Commercial Bank of China, Royal Bank of Scotland, and JP Morgan Chase & Co.’ To say that Rothschilds are ‘controlling world banks’ says Dunning, is a ‘little factoid about 100 years out of date’. Let’s share the OMG stuff, but let’s help each other sift the nuggets from the unicorn shit. Phillip Frazer views the world from Coorabell Ridge – www.coorabellridge.com.

Learning again to protect our marine wealth Whakarongo! Ki te tangi a te manu Listen! The cry of the bird/ the orator – Maori waiata (song) Story & photo Mary Gardner

The words of the Maori waiata do not rest on paper but reach out, making my nerves taut with excitement. With my inner ear, I always hear how the singers open for the speakers that follow. The Maori tradition sets a high standard for public speaking. The calls of birds are conflated with the speeches of orators. Every audience considers how well public words sing in human hearts. Compared to birdsong, are they as powerful, as informative, as moving? Over the last two weeks, after a decade of absence, I was again in Aotearoa/New Zealand. Urban Auckland sprawls across the isthmus but only tendrils reach into the West Coast. Forty minutes by car from downtown are the Waitakere Ranges, supporting the people of Te Kawerau a Maki. The temperate rainforest is still regenerating, protected as the city’s

water supply and managed as a regional park, accessed by millions of visitors. Small contemporary villages within the ranges include Bethells, Piha and Karekare. On the steep coastal walking trail called the Coman’s, the view south is of Karekare’s black sands. These merge with that of the Pararaha Valley and the Whatipu Peninsula. The rocky island is Paratahi. Since the mid1990s, the nearshore current deposited great quantities of sand. The beach is broader

and the coastal rocks buried. During the low tide, people can now walk out to Paratahi, climb to the top and share the views with the fur seals. The base of Paratahi is covered with wild kuku, the famous green mussel Perna canaliculus. For centuries, these shellfish were food for Maori and later, the European settlers. They are also a well-recognised export product: in the shell, frozen or bottled in brine. Since the 1970s, the shellfish have been farmed using the long-line

techniques first developed by the Japanese. Now, more than 140 tonnes of shellfish are harvested each year. In the 21st century, the supply of young oysters for New South Wales shellfish farms has come from scientifically managed hatcheries. By contrast, 80 per cent of the entire cultivated kuku industry relies on wild spat (baby shellfish). These are found in seaweed cast on the far northern beaches. Their origin is still the secret of the sea god Tangaroa and that of his wife, Te Anu-matao. All marine life is born of them.

Since 1993, the kuku at Paratahi are undisturbed because of the ban on shellfishing. Te Kawerau, village residents and fisheries ministers all support the ban. When the ban was first set, sceptics pointed at the shifting sand smothering shellfish on the rocks. But as the sand made the once-remote island more accessible, the value of the ban was unexpectedly renewed. These wild shellfish remind people of what was once the common wealth: seafood for the easy taking. Many Aucklanders reminisce about harvesting meals of kuku, pipi (Paphies australas) and tuangi (Austrovenus stutchburyii). On the east side of the Auckland isthmus, in the Hauraki Gulf, Aucklanders took a hard look at the hundred-year history of commercial fishing in the Gulf. This industry began in 1910 with the relentless dredging of subtidal mussels. By 1965, the shellfish beds had collapsed. The water quality declined as few shellfish remained to filter and clean the water. Without the habitat and food provided by wild shellfish, stocks of other marine life diminished. But Aucklanders shifted from nostalgia to ac-

tion. They set out to rebuild the shellfish reefs. Since 2014, their Mussel Reef Restoration Trust introduced more than 70 tonnes of adult shellfish. Most are now part of a bed larger than eight rugby fields. University researchers are examining how marine life is taking to this habitat. The enhancement program is, like the commercial fishing was, a multi-generational effort. It is one of several projects all aiming to revive the Gulf. These efforts range from mapping the seabed, ‘no take’ marine reserves and protection for whales, other marine mammals and sharks. Instead of calculating how many fish to harvest each season, one project investigates how many fish should remain in the sea so the marine world can thrive. From how far can the cries of a seabird be heard? The gannets that dive here in the waters of Byron Shire nest on rock ledges of the West Coast in the Waitakere Ranges. With their every cry come words from across the shared ocean. Q Mary Gardner is a biologist,

Surfrider Foundation wants an end to ‘Stone Age’ coastal management Following the pounding of Collaroy beachfront in Sydney in the big east coast low, Surfrider Foundation Australia renewed its call to end the use of rock walls as a coastal management strategy. According to the Foundation, sea walls cause sand to be removed from the beach and dragged out to sea. Northern Beaches branch president, Brendan Donohoe, said, ‘Surfrider is emphatically opposed to the construction of seawalls on devastated coasts. Seawalls kill beaches. Collaroy exemplifies this. ‘Surfrider believes beaches are sand, not rocks. ‘This is not some hippy philosophy that seawalls kill beaches but rather it’s straight physics; the waves’ energy reflects off the hard structure, backwashing sand out to sea off the beach. ‘We will likely see more intense storms, greater inundation of our coastline and larger erosion events with climate change and sea-level rise, devastating coastal communities globally.

Surfrider national chair Brendan Frawley said, ‘It’s an international issue – a global indication of places like Tuvalu that risk losing their heritage, their livelihoods and their lifestyles to the impacts of climate change and sealevel rise. The damage, erosion and devastation to our coastline caused by this storm are evidence on our doorstep of the global effects of climate change and issues at hand.’

Sea-level rise ‘Tuvalu and other lowlying nations are the most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change and sea-level rise. While these nations and communities face the greatest risk, they remain the most underresourced to prepare and recover.’ Surfrider around the world has been calling for strategic action on sea-level rise for years. ‘Surfrider’s been strong on our opposition to seawalls since its conception and hasn’t resiled from this position. The fact that seawalls

exist is a shame. And in no way are we trying to apportion blame on the beachfront residents,’ said Frawley. ‘Surfrider representatives have spent hundreds of hours attending meetings and lobbying all levels of government furthering the arguments that prove the worth of sand nourishment. ‘Indeed they have secured thousands of cubic metres of sand from excavations for apartment blocks in the area that would otherwise have been sold and have had it delivered to the beach free of charge. ‘Surfrider Foundation Australia believes that Australia must develop and implement a coastal planning strategy now. ‘Australia needs a policy that directly tackles these issues to protect our coastal communities by implementing strategies to minimise risk to storm effects, including the retreat of future developments from the coastline, beach nourishment and atrisk coastal home buyback.’

Chickens and stilt walkers drawing on life – Kids’ Big Day Out at the Byron Writers Festival Exploding chickens (not real ones), stilt walkers, drawings that come to life before your eyes and the chance to meet your favourite authors and illustrators – Kids’ Big Day Out at Byron Writers Festival has got it all and then some! This year, The Farm Byron Bay has come on board as a festival partner to make the day even more fun. Get your hands dirty in the mini-garden pots with Farmer Johnson or get crafty and creative with Trudi from Farm Kids. Every Kids ‘Big Day Out ticket also includes a complimentary tour of The Farm Byron Bay! To celebrate Kids’ Big Day Out, The Echo enlisted the help of local junior journalists to ask questions and review the books of some of the authors appearing at Kids’ Big Day Out.

Anna Fienberg Anna Fienberg is the author of many popular and awardwinning books for children of all ages, including the Tashi series, Figaro and Rumba, Louis Beside Himself, Number 8 and Horrendo’s Curse, which was an Honour Book in the 2003 CBCA awards.

Who is your favourite character in any of your books? (Morgan, 11)

they can’t come alive in your heart, or the heart of the reader.

You know, it’s hard to choose a favourite character from my books. I’ve written more than forty picture books and novels, and inside them there’s a crowd of characters that I’ve come to know and feel for and worry and dream about. It’s a bit like trying to choose a favourite child – they are all precious, and a part of you – even the wicked ones! Unless you experience real compassion and understanding for your characters,

Tony Flowers Tony is an international award-winning illustrator of more than 25 titles. In between drawing stomping dinosaurs and flatulent ninjas Tony is working towards his PhD. He aims to be the first illustrator in Australia to hold the official title ‘Doctor of Silly Drawing’! When did you realise you were an illustrator and not just a kid drawing pictures? (Ilja, 11)

I am still just a kid doing drawings, I just tell people that I am an illustrator so that they will take me seriously. I think the main difference between doing a drawing and illustrating is that an illustrator is always trying to tell a story with their drawings, while you can sometimes just have fun doing a drawing for the sake of it.

Two Wolves (On the Run in the US), a crime-mystery novel for middle-graders. His most recent book is My Life

When a story isn’t working I often realise that it has strayed too far from my own experience. I need to have a personal connection to the story. At first, I avoided writing stories that would reveal too much of myself but when I became braver and put myself into the stories, the books became more honest and I found a lot more readers.

Is it impossible that Nanna could be a ninja? The Impossible Quest: Escape From Wolfhaven Castle by Kate Forsyth, reviewed by Malaika (11 years), Brunswick Heads Public School Although this book may seem a little dull at first, it might reassure you to hear that it gets more and more exciting with each turn of the page and each book in the series. I especially like the part where they receive their gifts, because Sebastian (as the series of books go on) thinks his gift is useless until he finds out what it really does. I also like how the author expressed the reactions of Sebastian, Quinn, Tom and Elanor when they find out that Lord Mortlake is the person wearing the black helmet with the boar tusks. My favourite character by far has to be Quinn because of the way she thinks and acts about problems. Escape From Wolfhaven Castle is just one book in an epic series and has many interesting surprises as you go on. I believe that this is by far one of the most thrilling books I have ever read. My Nanna is a Ninja written by Damon Young, illustrated by Peter Canarvas, reviewed by Izaak (8 years), Brunswick Heads Public School My Nanna is a Ninja is an awesome picture book that was first published in 2014 and was written by Damon Young, an author who will be at the 2016 Byron Writers Festival. 20 July 13, 2016 The Byron Shire Echo

Property insider Domestic Violence and Changes to the Residential Tenancy Act You may have heard on the news recently that a number of recommendations have been made to improve the Residential Tenancies Act 2010, including allowing domestic violence victims to end their tenancy immediately. Following public consultation, the NSW Government has released the findings and recommendations from its review of the Residential Tenancies Act 2010 (RTA). A total of 210 submissions were made on the initial Discussion Paper. REINSW made its submission in January 2016.

One of the most widely reported recommendations is on the tenancies of victims of domestic violence. The proposed change will allow victims to end their tenancy immediately by providing evidence of domestic violence through a provisional, interim or final apprehended violence order (AVO), or court order. A landlord or tenant would be able to apply to the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal to resolve a dispute over whether a termination notice with the appropriate evidence was provided. Further amendments around this issue include: • removing the automatic liability of a tenant who is the victim of domestic violence for the damage caused by others who are on the premises

This will ensure that builders, developers and the strata community have sufficient time to prepare for the changes and comply with requirements of the Act and its supporting regulations.

This also allows for the Australian Standard for building inspections, due in March 2017, to become the standard for the interim and final defects inspection reports that are an integral part of the new inspection scheme. The Acts commencing on 30 November are the Strata Schemes (Management) Act 2015 and Strata Schemes (Development) Act 2015, and final regulations will be published in the coming weeks.

Amid the uncertainty of our politcal landscape the RBA has decided to take a wait and see approach. With already record low interest rates they seem to be sending a clear message that low interest rates are here to stay for the forseable future.

TH E IN FOCUS

artis t Georgie Maddox Georgie Maddox has a Bachelor of Arts from Flinders University as well as several postgraduate degrees. She has exhibited around the world including Australia, Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, Corisca, Monaco, New York, Greece, Holland, Kuala Lumpur and Japan. Georgie’s latest paintings encapsulate the brutality, beauty, strength and vulnerability of the nurturing female form, often depicting the mother figure and newborn child within the womb, providing a visual and emotive connection to the complete evolution of life. ‘It is often said that the mother and child are born together. My artworks seek to convey this joint conceptual birth.’ Locally Georgie is working on ‘Secret Female Signatures’ and is calling for women of all ages and walks of life to post in their anonymous messages, photographs, poems or sketches to empower other women. ‘I want to give women a voice through the powerful medium of visual art.’ Submissions posted to GM Art for inclusion in the exhibition will be used as inspiration for larger works created by the artist. Blank postcards can be collected from Still @ the Centre, Barebones Artspace, Art Piece Gallery, Lennox Art Collective and NRCG Ballina, and posted to GM Art, PO Box 658, Bangalow, NSW 2479.

Then it embarks on a musical journey from Paris, with the gorgeous textures of Debussy and Ravel, through Greece, Italy, Spain, and Czechoslovakia, finishing in fin-de-siècle Vienna with the sumptuous sounds of Strauss, Wolf, and Brahms.

The Good Life A touch of Friday warmth

Journey Around the Sun Richard Everist, a Lonely Planet author and formerly Lonely Planet’s publisher, and his partner, Lucrezia Migliore, have founded Around The Sun to organise ‘comfortable adventures’ – for real travellers. ‘A holiday should first and foremost be fun. And it has to be comfortable. But we know that it can also be a whole lot more. It can be an amazing adventure. It can introduce you to fascinating cultures that change the way you see the world. It can introduce you to amazing people who enrich your life,’ Richard says.

By Vivienne Pearson It’s winter. There’s no escaping this, but you can escape to an evening out with cocktails to warm your insides and a fire to warm your fingers. Elements of Byron is offering Fire Pit Fridays. Some locals may not realise that Elements is open to nonguests, but their restaurant, Graze, and their cocktail bar, positively welcomes locals. The only area off-limits to non-guests is the pool, so a winter visit is ideal to avoid suffering any pool envy. The fire pit is, in fact,

lit every evening, but the benefit of going on a Friday (5–7pm) is that there are $1 freshly shucked oysters, as well as complimentary nibbles (really nice ones, not a bit of cracker and dip!). The setting is as lovely as the photo suggests. The fire, admittedly, is gas fuelled but this has the benefit of avoiding your winter coat being sullied with wood smoke. You can perch on the edge of the fire to enjoy some direct warmth, or lounge on the super-comfy outdoor furniture.

A full bar is available, but I highly recommend a cocktail. The menu is full of original creations with a strong focus on native inspiration and ingredients. Macadamia and eucalyptus liqueurs feature alongside quandong bitters, Marvell Street coffee, Illawara plum and wild flowers (okay, not all in the same drink). Whether your motivation is cocktails, oysters, free nibbles, or simply having a stickybeak at the new-resortkid in town, rug up in order to warm up inside and out at Elements’ Fire Pit Fridays.

Popping up all over In the Byron Shire and surrounds, restaurants have been popping up with mouth-watering regularity, writes SAMUEL J FELL. This month, northern rivers institution Francisco’s Table celebrates its fourth birthday. Since 2012, headed up by Argentinian-born chef Francisco Smoje, the team has literally popped up in various locations around the area, putting on feasts crafted from local produce, gaining themselves a reputation as one of the best around. ‘I never had a timeframe plan… I thought it might be an evolution and we’d branch into something else,’ Smoje says. ‘But I was hoping we’d still be here four years later.’ Francisco’s Table is one of a number of pop-up restaurants in the area, a phenomenon that has taken off in recent years. Whether providing

three-course sit-down dinners, takeaway options or a quick snack, these temporary eateries have become all the rage, helped in no small part by their use of the myriad of fresh produce available locally. Farmhouse Foods (featured on these pages in last week’s Echo, in case you missed it) operate a smokehouse in Federal on Friday and Saturday nights specialising in southern US smoked goods; Bruno Pouget of the now-defunct La Table has been operating pop-up nights serving French cuisine; Il Carretto puts on wood-fired pizza nights in Clunes and Bexhill on Thursdays and Fridays; and Shoza Gyoza showcases in Clunes too – there’s no shortage of choice. ‘It’s appealing because of the excitement and intrigue about what will be served,’ says Shoza Gyoza’s Jireh Dixon

28 July 13, 2016 The Byron Shire Echo

on the appeal of pop-ups for punters. ‘The authenticity of the food, and venue too; the atmosphere of the venue is usually lively and the customers all share the same notion of wanting to try new food and have a new experience.’ The benefits for the roaming restaurants are many, too. ‘The benefits are affordability, as you don’t have the responsibility of big rents and are not so committed to the regular outlays of a restaurant and cafe,’ says Dixon, ‘plus good brand exposure and a chance to experiment with different menus and see what works.’ Pop-up restaurants are a win-win then, providing punters with quick and easy choices, and chefs with a chance to experiment without much of a risk. Francisco’s Table has proven it’s a viable option in this part of the world. Long may it continue.

‘When I worked for Lonely Planet it was clear that most people on the backpacker trail just wanted to party, get

a suntan – and get laid! Many backpackers have now graduated to cruises. They get on a boat, party, get a suntan – and eat as much food as they can! Not much has changed,’ he says. ‘Our job at Around The Sun is to design the world’s best holidays – for real travellers. We take the stress out of travel – but our travellers also get off the beaten track, meet local people and have amazing experiences they’ll never forget.’ According to Richard, because ‘Comfortable Adventures’ is Around The Sun’s motto, ‘it’s natural we should partner with Patagonia. Pa-

tagonia designs the world’s best – and most comfortable – adventure gear.’ Around The Sun and Patagonia are holding a free Travel Info Night at the Byron Community Centre at 6pm on 3 August. Richard Everist will present a slideshow about walking in the world’s most beautiful places – and advise how, with the help of Patagonia, you can have a comfortable adventure. There’ll be prizes and greatvalue Patagonia gear. Don’t miss out!

Winter warmers Ballina RSL is proud of its popularity as the place to dine in Ballina. Last week the kitchen released its new menu with specialty dishes including Sticky Sichuan Pepper and Black Bean Pork Belly, Slow-cooked Beef Ribs, Sri Lankan Duck Curry, Japanese Chicken Salad, and Chicken, Leek and Mushroom Pie, and there is still a wide variety of club classics on the menu.

Award-winning executive chef Blake Seymour has made an impression with locals and visitors since joining the club just more than a year ago. ‘I have great local produce available to me, so it is a joy to create a new menu a few times a year,’ said Blake. ‘My latest menu has some comfort dishes but also features some internationally

inspired flavour plates.’ The Ballina RSL is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner seven days a week in a family-friendly environment with uninterrupted views of the Richmond River. www. ballinarsl.com.au

Finding a New Naked Dip By Vivienne Pearson Most naked dips start in a pool or at a beach, but as this is the food section of The Echo, we’re talking about Naked Byron Dips, where the ‘naked’ means that they are made with only fresh and natural ingredients (no numbers in sight). Finding that they recently released two new unique dips – Turmeric & Ginger, and Kale Pesto – I was curious to find out how new flavours are developed. The starting place, according to co-owner Anthony Goddard, is not in a pool but in his kitchen at home. The inspiration for both new flavours came from his wife, the appropriately named Ayla Garlick, whom Anthony describes as a ‘real foodie’. An initial recipe for the tur-

Aaron Bellamy showcases some new Naked Byron Foods at the Byron Food Hub opening. Photo: Greg Saunders Photography meric dip had vibrant colour but was lacking something tastewise, until Anthony’s backyard provided the secret ingredient – kaffir lime leaves. For the Kale Pesto, the secret ingredient is activated pecans. Anthony wanted

something different from the usual pinenut-based pesto and tried several options before settling on pecans. The next step is taste testing by everyday punters. ‘The staff in the bank look forward to my coming in!’, Anthony laughs, adding that he once took an esky load of pesto to the Brunswick Heads Fireworks display, handing out free samples in exchange for feedback. Perfecting the final recipe in commercial quantities is not as challenging as it sounds: ‘I’m talking to the chefs all the way through,’ says Anthony. The next step is distributor trials and then it’s finalised and yours for the buying. Whether you choose to eat fully clothed in your kitchen, or naked while dipping in the pool, is entirely up to you.

MORE THAN A RUMOUR FOLLOWING STANDING OVATIONS ACROSS THE COUNTRY INCLUDING ACCL AIMED SE ASONS AT SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE AND QUEENSL AND THE ATRE C O M PA N Y, T H E L I T T L E R E D C O M PA N Y ’ S C E L E B R AT E D ORIGINAL PRODUCTION RUMOUR HAS IT IS COMING TO NORPA FOR AN E XCLUSIVE SE ASON AT LISMORE CITY HALL . Featuring Australian stage siren Naomi Price, Rumour Has It charts the incredible rise of the blockbuster soul sensation of the modern age live on stage in story and song, with all the upfront British wit and heartstopping tunes that have made Adele the highest-selling recording artist of the 21st century. What is it about Adele’s story that you felt would make it a standalone cabaret /show? Adam Brunes (my co-writer) and I were so fascinated by the impact of Adele’s glorious voice on us compared to the brash honesty of her speaking voice. We felt these two voices were the perfect starting point for a cabaret character. We also fell in love with the raw truth in her songs, and knew that this ‘average girl from Tottenham’ would be a terrific spokeswoman when it came to the facade of fame and celebrity. What is Adele’s story? I don’t actually know it… Well, here’s her Wikipedia page if you want the basic points: www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adele. Essentially, she is a girl from Tottenham who has released three globally successful albums, 19, 21 and 25, and has catapulted herself into worldwide stardom. Honestly, is it a tribute or a pisstake? Or a bit of both? We don’t like to refer to our shows as ‘tribute’ shows. Usually we call them ‘pop-culture cabarets’. We use characters based on real-life people to explore notions of celebrity, fame, heartbreak, artistry, childhood, and their songs become the vehicle through which we tell their stories. Rumour Has It started out as a pisstake but when Adam and I started researching Adele, we fell in love with her. We realised very quickly that there was so much depth to her work, and to who she is as a person, and what developed out of our research was an intense respect and admiration for a woman who wears her heart on her sleeve.

She’s back. Bigger, redder and more bigoted than ever. Pauline Hanson has found herself a seat in the senate, thus landing a hefty cash injection into the One Nation bank account from the AEC. Votes are still being counted but it’s looking as though the Australian People will be granting somewhere in the vicinity of $1.2 million to our fledgling fascists. (Ironically she has a little of the same trajectory as Hitler. He too did a short stint in jail before his rise to power.) With Queensland awarding Hanson nine per cent of the vote it’s now totally clear where the rednecks are. Congratulations, Queensland. You are now officially our Alabama.

Pauline allows reasonable people to make that journey toward being narrow minded bigots.

It’s the mouth of repression, intolerance and racism. It’s the mouth that incites people to be the worst they can. It’s the mouth of self-interest. Keep your mouths wide, Australia. And open. I get the feeling we’re going to need to hear your voice. Pauline Hanson’s One Nation just has One Notion: Hate. Time to build the Love Bomb.

Tell me about the concept behind Harveyâ€™s Bar.

of the classic country songs we always play in my bar.

I often put pictures of my bar on Facebook and I had a lot of people say to me, â€˜Gee Iâ€™d love to spend time with you in that night in that bar of yoursâ€™.

Where do you source your song narratives?

So I thought why not record a live album in my bar, and that way when people listen to the album theyâ€™ll get a taste of what a night in my bar is all about. What do you think it is that sparks a certain romanticism around the â€˜barâ€™ environment? I mean, itâ€™s not always like that in reality! Hahaâ€Ś very true. I think there is something special about having friends over to my bar at home. People seem to just relax more at home or a friendâ€™s home and everyone feels that they can be themselves, dress however they like, let their hair down, and have some fun. It just feels a lot more relaxed than going out to a or bar or restaurant in town. Do you think the â€˜barâ€™ has been a bit of a â€˜manâ€™s placeâ€™? Is there something that happens there between men â€“ in storytelling, and joking and maybe seeking solaceâ€Ś?

Real life. I think real life and the true stories people tell you are more interesting than anything you could ever make up. How do you write towards an album â€“ does the concept come to youÂ initiallyÂ or does it evolve as you write? I donâ€™t write every day. I have friends who get up every morning and write songs like itâ€™s their day job. I come up with the concept first and then think about song ideas that would suit that concept. I think a good song idea is the key. If you get a good, strong idea and the basic framework of the song together, then the rest will almost write itself. Tell me about the band. We have a great band, and the guys have been working with me for 20 years. This is very handy because they know every song. They are really good fun guys, too, with a great sense of humour, so we have a lot of fun and plenty of laughs onstage. How do you stage this show?

I have had another complete bar Absolutely. I think itâ€™s a place built and a huge backdrop made where men can talk to each that is a replica of my bar at home. other about their problems or We set up all this onstage every worries.

This is really e exciting for me. I havenâ€™t p performed in my home area for family and frien friends since I was 15. So yes it does feel quite n nostalgic as a lot of people put a lot of time and effort into helping me. I am so happy to be able to dance for them and for them to experience a beautiful ballet. I love the nor northern rivers and I am hoping to spend a littl little bit of time between performances relaxing on the family macadamia farm.

ance Centre How did your time dancing at the Karen Ireland Dance in Lismore prepare you for your career in ballet? let and a Karen Ireland has an extraordinary eye for classical ballet unique gift for teaching dance. In most pursuits, some people are just naturally great teachers and others not so much. Karen has on to make the right blend of expertise, humour and determination d nurtured successful dancers in many genres. She pushed me and me and she believed in me. She remains a big part of my life and I owe her so much. I often wonder if I hadnâ€™t been luckyy enough to have Karen in my early years, could I have achieved as much, as poor early training can ruin a good dancerâ€™s chances of a career. Karen is always looking to the future for her dancers and nd she has so many success stories.

What should we expect from the t presentation of Romeo and Juliet? Jul Romeo and Juliett is a truly beautifu beautiful ballet, one of the classics.

Was being a professional dancer a long-held dream? m? How much dedication did it take to make it happen? Yes! I had always loved dance, particularly classical ballet, and when I was about eight years old Mum took me to see the Australian Ballet perform Swan Lake in Brisbane. I was transfixed. I asked her how much does it cost to be in a performance like that? Mum replied, â€˜You donâ€™t pay to be in it, itâ€™s their job and the ballet company pays you to be one of the ballet dancers â€“ if youâ€™re good enoughâ€™. I couldnâ€™t believe that you could do that for a living and be paid. From that day all I ever wanted was to be a ballet dancer. At age 10 I was invited to be a child dancer in one of the Australian Balletâ€™s seasons of Sleeping Beauty and I got my first pay cheque! I wanted it very badly. The dedication part â€“ well that is the longest, and hardest, road and it never really ends. Countless hours of classes, driving or flying all over Australia and the world to attend competitions and auditions. Injury, surgery, recovery, physio, specialists! So much money, time, effort and dedication, but so worth it. To be able to do every day the thing that you adore is the most highly soughtafter job in the world. But if you want it you have to fight for it.

What training and dancing did you do between Lismore and Melbourne City Ballet? At age 10 I was accepted into the interstate training program (ITP) at the Australian Ballet School (ABS). These are casual classes and holiday schools for interstate and international children, so that the school can monitor your progress and you can get a feel for the school. At 13 I was offered a place in their full-time program. So at 14 I went to live in Melbourne. That was terribly hard to be away from the farm and living in a highrise apartment in Southbank, but so worth it. I was at ABS for five years and I loved it. High school is included in the training, as well as two diploma courses, so I graduated with my VCE, a Certificate III in Dance, an Advanced Diploma of Dance, and a Graduate Diploma of Classical Ballet. I won the Marten Bequest Scholarship for ballet ($20K) just as I was graduating from ABS. This scholarship was meant to take to me to Europe. Unfortunately just at that time I was injured and it has taken two years to get fully back to dance en pointe and build back up the strength that is required. What is it about the company that you love? The sense of camaraderie with the other dancers, being part of something truly great, new, and really exciting and, of course, performing onstage are the best parts of being in this company. Melbourne City Ballet took me into their fold when I was still injured in September last year. They saw potential and invited me to do company class daily, which helped me gain back strength and confidence. MCB is an amazing new ballet company doing very big things. They have just moved into brand-new purpose-built premises in Coburg. For students MCB also offers a junior extension program, part-time elite program, full-time elite program and a finishing year (whose students dance with the professional company at times) as well as Melbourne City Youth Ballet.

Old Songs for Modern Folk reveals Cross, the troubadour, with a talent for inspired live solo performances. Playing banjo or guitar with a few spare riffs of harmonica, he sings original songs that borrow melodies and lyrics from the American folk tradition while telling stories old and new. Vincent Cross often performs solo on his trusty vintage instruments. Cross tours extensively in the US, Europe and Australia and has performed at some of the worldâ€™s finest roots music festivals, with upcoming shows in New York City at the American Folk Art Museum and the Irish Arts Centre. So if you canâ€™t be bothered nipping over to the US, catch him when he plays the Treehouse in Belongil on Thursday 21 July. Â

GETTING DIRTY CUT FROM THE SAME CLOTH

William Crighton and Claire Anne Taylor have carved their names into the Australian music scene this year with universally acclaimed debut albums and strong praise from live music reviews, each shaped by their formative years spent in rural serenity. Crightonâ€™s journey started in the Riverina and has taken him around the world, with extensive time spent in Nashville. Returning to Australia, he settled momentarily on the rugged banks of Burrinjuck Dam, near the South West Slopes region of NSW, to record his self-titled debut. Itâ€™s a stirring songbook that captures the gritty essence of our vast country.

Many artists struggle to establish their musical identity, laboriously trying on different musical styles like a piece of clothing, looking to find what fits. But there are others that emerge fully formed, in full command of their craft, their identity and their music. Dirty River fit firmly in the latter category. The style and live performances are a captivating and moving experience that heralds the arrival of a gifted and significant new talent, one whose music feels familiar in the best possible way, while striking out on its own territory.

Taylorâ€™s story also begins in the wilderness. The soulful singer grew up in Tasmaniaâ€™s ancient Tarkine rainforest, where she was born into her fatherâ€™s hands in the family barn among a congregation of her five siblings. In March, the flame-haired musician released her debut album, Elemental.

Dynamic duo Jimi and Lea are passionate storytellers who have the ability to make any song their own. Not ever wanting to be labelled as fitting into a particular genre, they find their style in everything from heartfelt folk ballads to soul, funk and alternative country blues. Individually they each bring something unique to the sound, but together they create a vibe that has been very well received in the local area, playing in hotels such as the Shaws Bay, Eltham, Federal, Slipway, Lennox and Yamba Pacific on a regular basis. They are continuing their journey, branching out into new venues, private functions and weddings around Byron Bay and surrounds.

Live Music THE SIGN OF THE CROSS With roots in Ireland and Australia, New York city-based rustic folk singer/songwriter Vincent Cross is as much a poet and musicologist as a musician. Cross has been lauded by Odetta, which is understandable given heâ€™s clearly rooted in the same 60s folk-scene sounds that produced the likes of Seeger, Guthrie and Dylan, who are obvious influences on his work. On his third release, Old Songs for Modern Folk, Cross weaves together mythical deaths, murder ballads, questions about mortality and tales of ancient loneliness with fearless emotional honesty.

ANDY, MANDY & STELLAâ€Ś He featured at the Melbourne Comedy Festivalâ€™s Big 30th Bash with colleague Kevin Kropinyeri; heâ€™s a regular on The Comedy Channel and itâ€™s no wonder: Andy Saunders is an impressive new talent with the extraordinary ability to use humour to break down barriers and stereotypes. From an early age Andy Saunders has been telling jokes in front of a variety of audiences. He was always destined to make people laugh. Of his show The Bald and the Beautiful with Kropinyeri, the Herald Sun declared, â€˜Aboriginality is a big part of their identity and both naturally talk about their experiences in a good-natured and friendly way. Saunders is the more laidback of the two.

BREAST FRIENDS UNDER THE PINK TOP AT DUNES ON SHELLY BEACH IN EAST BALLINA. A PINK-RIBBON FUNDRAISER, STARTED NINE YEARS AGO AS A GIRLS NIGHT IN WITH JUST 17 GIRLS AND NOW AN EVENT THAT ATTRACTS UP TO 300 WOMEN! THIS YEAR’S MASSIVE EVENT IS ON FRIDAY 22 JULY. TICKETS FROM TICKETBOOTH.COM.AU as he shows you bubbles in all shapes and sizes, including the famous ‘exploda-bubble’. During the performance, one lucky child will even be put inside a bubble, so come along, it could be you! Don’t miss this fun and funny show suitable for kids of all ages. Shows on Saturday and Sunday at the Brunswick Picture House at 1pm.

ANDY SAUNDERS – SENSATIONAL COMIC TALENT HEADLINING AT THE BYRON SERVICES CLUB ON MONDAY 1 AUGUST He has mad skills as a beat boxer, and veers into Michael Winslow territory with an impressive sound-effects-laden sketch about aliens asking to meet our leader and having to meet Donald Trump.’ It’s Saunders’s impressive and extraordinary ability to use humour to break down barriers and stereotypes as well as provoke thought in any audience that makes him so intoxicating onstage. As the In Daily raved, Saunders has, ‘Disarming wit and charm’. He is hilarious. Belly-aching funny. High energy, six-footthree Indian man in a baseball cap, often mistaken, he jokes, for an Indian… which of course he uses to his advantage! Saunders headlines at the Byron Services Club on Monday 1 August with Ms Stella as support. Some will remember Stella as the small, darkly funny half of the Queen Bees, the comedy duo that included Mandy Nolan more than two decades ago! In the past few years after a career in documentary making Ms Stella has reprised her love for standup, and regularly runs a comedy room at Newport in Melbourne, where she now lives. Her old partner in crime, Mandy Nolan, is the MC. Byron Services Club, Monday 1 August at 8pm. Doors at 7pm. Tickets $20/$25 at the club, or can be booked on 6619 0529.

BIG BUBBLES… NO TROUBLES… Everybody loves bubbles, and Dr Hubble is here to show you why! Dr Hubble (portrayed by world-renowned circus and sideshow performer Shep Huntly) will be on hand to take you on a magical journey behind the bubble,

ZONING IN Welcome to an alternative surfing dimension, one where creativity and imagination are boundless, and the vicissitudes of life pale in comparison to the utter joy of experiencing the moment, where surfers entwine with their environment to create and express themselves in a place called The Zone. Jack Coleman’s surf odyssey, exploring the future of free surfing and board design, was shot over a two-year period throughout Australia, South Africa, Costa Rica, Mexico and the US. Screening followed by Q&A with director Jack Coleman. Thursday at the Brunswick Picture House at 7pm.

SHORT A DOLLAR

A Day Late and A Dollar Short will be shown at Brunswick Picture House on Saturday followed by Q&A with Dale Egan and director Ben Cregan, and an exclusive acoustic musical performance by The Desert Sea. A portrait of an original ‘punk surfer’ living on the fringe of a modern world. Dale Egan is a man who refuses to conform to conventional life in a contemporary society. This biopic follows Dale’s journey from being a 70s surfing prodigy to 80s punk pioneer of Luna Tech (an avant-garde furniture store/arts enclave in Sydney), which led to a decade of drug use, creativity and self-exploration. Sacrificing potential wealth, family and security, Dale perseveres with a surfer’s life and philosophy loyal to a less complicated era and reclaiming the artefacts of a disposable society.

THE LEGEND OF TARZAN CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE

If there is anything more American than apple pie, it’s the bloopers that you get during the end credits of lightweight farces such as this (they’re the ultimate ego trip). I knew they’d be coming and I hoped that they would be funnier than the movie itself – but they’re not. Dwayne ‘the Rock’ Johnson and comedian Kevin Hart are Bob and Calvin, former school buddies. Calvin, the boy most likely to succeed, is now a ‘mere’ accountant, whereas Bob, who has sent him a Facebook friend request, is a leviathan CIA operative. Bob the fat kid was humiliated at a class presentation, so he is dead keen to attend the twenty-year reunion, but Calvin is mortified by his lowly status and doesn’t want to go. They buddy-up when Bob, wrongly accused of treason, enlists Calvin to decipher computer data that might reveal who it is that has stolen state defence secrets. It’s a game of chasings after that, as the two stay one frantic step ahead of Agent Harris’s (Amy Ryan) CIA pursuers. As a fan of Johnson, I appreciate his unwillingness to take himself too seriously, but Hart’s manic, squealing delivery drove me up the wall. The twists and turns move rapidly, the stunts are good and there is a hell of a lot of playful shooting – but it’s only windows and walls that get dinged, because guns don’t kill people, do they. What leaves a galling taste, however, is the cock-eyed preachiness of its anti-bullying theme. In an early setup, you can’t wait for Bob to kick the butts of a crew of thugs in a bar where he is drinking with Calvin, but later he turns into a wimp when confronted by Trevor (Jason Bateman) who reminds Bob of the fat slob that he was. Bob will ultimately tell those at the reunion that the most important thing is to be yourself – the hero of your own story – but at 6’6” and 120 kgs, with muscles on muscles, it’s easy for him to say.

The best thing about this movie comes near the end when millions of wildebeest, so long the hapless prey of hungry carnivores, get to have their moment of glory. In a thundering stampede, they ransack the coastal town of Bom, where slavetraders and other bad guys are taking their tea in the sun. The second best thing is when Christoph Waltz, that scene-gobbling show-off, is eaten by crocodiles. This happens at the same time as a boat that Tarzan (Alexander Skarsgård) is on gets blown to smithereens, only for the Ape Man to emerge with what used to be known in the old cowboy flicks as a mere ‘flesh wound’. John Clayton (aka Tarzan) has been persuaded to return to Africa from his digs in Belgravia to sort out a problem that the Brits are having in the Congo with Belgium’s King Leopold. Jane (Margo Robbie) insists on going with him, as does George Washington Williams (Samuel L Jackson), representing the Great Republic. The screenplay, which includes a chief who wants to take revenge on T because T killed his son (fair enough, I would have thought), and Waltz doing his mental Nazi thing as Leopold’s empire builder, might have been lifted directly from a comic book, so breathless and shallow is it. The CGI is impressive at times – I loved the bit where T is reacquainted with the lions he once knew, but was disappointed to see the gorillas, which too often looked like blokes in hairy suits, portrayed as aggressive, predatory creatures – but the cartoonish realism feels too camp for the subject, and the fights, of which there are numerous, are ridiculous. Skarsgård certainly has the torso for the part, but he is as charismatic as a carved broom and cannot hold a candle to the great Johnny Weismuller, Robbie is excellent at being little more than a beautiful damsel in distress with a hint of new-age girl power about her, and Jackson, ever the cool dude, gives Waltz a run for his money in the limelighting stakes. Strictly for kids.

The film challenges its audience to reflect on the way chance, consequence and values shape a life, its opportunities, losses and moments of grace. 7pm.

North Coast news daily: www.echonetdaily.net.au

Scientists from the University of York have developed an innovative new green method of capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from power stations, chemical and other large scale manufacturing plants. Starbons, made from waste biomass including food peelings and seaweed, were discovered and first reported 10 years ago by the York Green Chemistry Centre of Excellence. Using these renewable

materials provides a greener, more efficient and selective approach than other commercial systems of reducing emissions. Current widespread methods of carbon capture, such as amine treating, use liquid solutions for the treatment of emissions from chemical plants and refineries. However, these are expensive to run and require a lot of input energy compared with a relatively low output.

The synthetic make-up of Starbons, which contain pores, results in the absorption of up to 65 per cent more CO2 than other methods. Starbons are also more selective in capturing CO2 when mixed with nitrogen, with results showing a capture rate of 20:1 rather than 5:1 – four times more selective than other methods. The materials also retain their CO2 absorption and selectivity in the presence of water, and have extremely fast rates of CO2 absorption and desorption. Such enhanced properties for carbon capture, in a material that is sustainable and low-cost to make, holds significant potential for helping to reduce emissions from many manufacturing plants and power stations in the UK and around the world. Professor Michael North, Professor of Green Chemistry at the University of York, said:

‘This work is of fundamental importance in overturning established wisdom associated with gas capture by solids. It defies current accepted scientific understanding of the efficiency of carbon-capturing CO2, and has the potential to be of significant commercial and governmental value in helping the UK meet its CO2 emissions-reduction promises.’ Professor James Clark, Head of York’s Green Chemistry Centre of Excellence, said: ‘The high CO2 adsorption, high selectivity, rapid kinetics and water tolerance, combined with the low cost and ease of large-scale production from waste biomass, gives Starbons great potential. We hope to offer the product as a commercial capture agent for separating CO2 from chemical or power station waste streams.’ The research is published in Angewandte Chemie.

Seaweeds get sick too when they’re stressed A variety of normally harmless bacteria can cause bleaching disease in seaweeds when the seaweeds become stressed by high water temperatures, UNSW researchers have discovered. Seaweeds are the ‘trees’ of the ocean, providing vital habitat, food and shelter for many species of fish and other coastal marine organism, such as crayfish and abalone. ‘A lot of attention has been paid to coral bleaching, but seaweeds are also affected by temperature-related diseases,’ says study senior author UNSW’s Dr Suhelen Egan. ‘In most cases, the infec-

tious agents that cause the diseases are unknown. Improving our understanding these disease processes is not only important for maintaining a healthy marine environment; it also has economic significance, given that seaweeds are increasingly being cultivated as sources of food and feedstock for biofuels.’ The study, by Dr Egan’s team at the UNSW Centre of Marine Bio-Innovation, is published in the journal Environmental Microbiology. The researchers collected samples of healthy and diseased red alga, Delisea pulchra, from about eight metres

under the water at different locations on the Sydney coastline. The diseased seaweeds had undergone natural bleaching, in which areas of pigment are lost. ‘Bleaching reduces the ability of the seaweed to photosynthesise and harvest energy from the sun, and to reproduce. It also makes them more susceptible to grazing by fish and other herbivores in the ocean,’ says Dr Egan. The researchers isolated microbes that were in greater abundance on the diseased seaweeds and cultured them. They then tested the ability of these microbes to cause

bleaching disease in seaweeds in the laboratory. ‘We were surprised to identify three very different kinds of bacteria that are usually present in low numbers on seaweeds, but which we now know can all cause the same bleaching disease,’ says Dr Egan. ‘We also found that the usual balance of microbes was disturbed on the diseased seaweeds, with a lower diversity of microbes present than normal. We believe these kinds of opportunistic pathogens are more common in the marine environment than had been realised.’

High temperatures may increase skin cancer threat Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light has long been established as the main cause of skin cancer. But now research from Edith Cowan University Western Australia has revealed that temperature may also play a major role, with a difference of just two degrees potentially significantly increasing the risk of developing the skin cancer. Researchers from ECU’s Melanoma Research Group exposed two samples of human skin cells to UV light, keeping one sample at 37°C and the other at 39°C. When they analysed the skin cells they found that those exposed to the 39°C temperature had significantly more DNA damage, a major risk factor for de-

veloping skin cancer. Lead researcher Dr Leslie Calapre said the higher temperature appeared to inhibit the tumour-supressing protein p53 in skin cells. ‘The p53 protein is responsible for mediating repair and/or the death of cells that harbour DNA damage. Suppression of this protein after exposure to UV and heat allows for the survival

of damaged cells and thus potentially increases the risk that a cancerous tumour will develop,’ she said. Dr Calapre said the findings were of particular significance to workers in industries that are required to work outside and exposed to high levels of heat. ‘This research shows that in industries such as mining, construction and agriculture

operating in areas that regularly see high temperatures, protecting workers from skin cancer requires not just minimising their UV exposure, but also doing things to reduce the levels of ambient heat for workers. ‘Things such as allowing workers to take regular breaks in air-conditioned areas on hot days, doing work in the shade wherever possible and making sure that protective clothing allows good air flow could all be ways of potentially minimising risk.’ The study, Heat-mediated reduction of apoptosis in UVB-damaged keratinocytes in vitro and in human skin ex vivo, was recently published in the journal Bio Med Central Dermatology.

Red Devils rise again but Papists unforgiving John Campbell

In rugby league, there is no good time to surrender possession to the other mob. You own the ball, you own the game. Byron Bay’s Red Devils have made a season-long habit of losing the pill, more often than not in their own half, just when they have been building momentum and looking at a notable victory. Before a crowd somewhere in the vicinity of 3,727 on Saturday, the boys went down to competition heavyweights Marist Brothers to the tune of 32–18, but the final score in no way reflected the tightness of the contest. A couple of tries at the death flattered the Papists and cruelled what had been a fantastic effort from the Devils. Byron were behind the eightball early on when the visitors crossed out wide. This has been a recurring prob-

lem. Nobody strolls through the Bay’s midfield defence – it is unyielding and always committed – but when skirting wide, inevitably there are points on offer. Tom ‘Deano’ Martin, who, like Bill ‘the Lawman’ Lowrie and Cameron ‘Jack’ Gibson, was backing up after playing for the reggies, scored from dummy-half. With Joey ‘the General’ Gordon’s conversion the boys were ahead. Marist followed the same path to the same southeast corner to regain the lead, before Gibson put up a cross-field bomb that Gordon, leaping high like Nureyev at Sadler’s Wells (League is a most balletic sport), theatrically grasped the ball and planted over the stripe. The Papists took an 18–12 advantage to the break and might have extended their lead when they got an arsy regather from the kick-off, but a

The Bay’s defence went in mob-handed all arvo at Red Devil Park on Saturday.

smashing, last ditch tackle by tireless lock Sam ‘Dolly’ Dwyer took out their winger and the corner post and if it took out the touchie, too, none of the partisans in the bleachers would have shed a tear. Martin registered his dou-

ble soon after and at 18–all with a fair way to go, the Devils manned up and were quite clearly getting the better of the visitors in what was becoming a brutal slug-fest. At critical moments, however, those unforced errors

started to reappear. Marist made fewer of them and when given a hand up by the ref, former Devil Chris ‘BB’ King, who had hitherto been the Invisible Man, slotted a penalty and the sense of dismay in the crowd was palpa-

ble. But still the boys didn’t roll over, fighting tooth and nail at every set. The Papists’ late scoring flurry was a bitter pill for the Devils and their supporters to follow, but it’s been the story of the season. Earlier, the reggies let their comfortable sitting in the top five slip with an uncharacteristically shabby performance, going down 34–12, while the Under-18s were desperately unlucky to get done 30–22. The youngsters are a mercurial outfit, prone to lapses as much as they are capable of playing with outrageous flair. In five-eighth Callum ‘Indiana’ Jones, who also pulled on the number one jersey for A-grade, busy half-back Beau ‘Brummell’ Clarke and bullish forward Lucas ‘Depardieu’ Daniels, among others, the Red Devils’ dog days of 2016 will soon be behind them.

Byron Rugby sells jerseys for charity Kids belted at Kung Fu grading Byron Bay Rugby Club will be raffling limited-edition player jerseys as part of its charity drive this Saturday to raise money to tackle brain cancer. The day’s main charity event, raffling one-off, limited-edition Byron Bay player jerseys, will start soon after the full-time whistle. All money raised on the day will be in aid of BigThingsForBrainCancer, a charity that is very close to the club’s heart. The jerseys will make a new family heirloom, or be great for an admirer who wants to get a signed jersey of their favourite player, or even for a backpacker looking for a unique Byron Bay memento, the club said. The rugby action will start

Byron Rugby’s finest modelling the special-edition jersey.

at the Byron Bay Recreational Playing fields at 1.50pm with a reserve grade fixture between the Mullumbimby Moonshiners and the Lennox Head Trojans in what promises to be an exciting game for the Moonshiners, who currently sit at the top of the table. The second match between

the hosts of the day Byron Bay and Lennox Head will kick off at 3.15pm. Lennox are expected to travel with a good crowd and loud support, and will be keen to make up for the painful 40–7 loss they suffered at their home ground when they faced off against Byron in the first half of the season.

More than a dozen youngsters set out to master martial arts moves and self-discipline as they went through a Wu Chi Kung Fu grading at Durrumbul Hall last week. Wu Chi Kung Fu is a traditional Chinese martial art for self-defence, health and character development, Gavin Cook head instructor said. For the grading students had to perform their skills in front of the class, including physical martial art moves, discipline, respect, and knowledge of Kung Fu philosophy.

Kids and teens enjoyed a Kung Fu grading at Durrumbul Hall, Mullumbimby, last Wednesday.

‘Kids had to blaze through a gauntlet of pads performing blocks and hits,’ Mr Cook said. Belts attained were from

white belt to a green belt with blue tip. ‘All the kids are thoroughly deserving of their belts,’ he said.

Geckos dominate Swingers Brian Mollet

Sporting mega-events dot the calendar with grey uniformity but the Shand Series is one for the connoisseur. Longer than the Tour de France, more free scoring than a hatful of soccer tournaments and relatively corruption free – if you don’t count Paddy’s taste in hats – the Shand is the backyard choko of homegrown sport. Last Sunday’s action saw the Suffolk Swingers paddle in still shivering from the morning surf to match it with the Geckos, who represent no known locality but rather an entity. The Geckos won the toss and invited the Swingers to bowl on the famous Lomath Oval turf that was as thick and slow as a One Nation voter.

Lloyd (3–5) slipped one past cagey Kiwi Greg-O in the second over to see the Geckos’ secret weapon, brutal Bruce from Murwillumbah, in early. When Bruce sparred at a wide ball from Levi umpire Brian was faced with more pleading faces than a scene from Oliver Twist, but he remained unmoved. The world’s oldest teenager Adeha (30no) then settled in with Bruce (33no) and a couple of missed chances cost the stuttering Swingers. James (33no) dished out some punishment that set the scene for some wild bat-waving in the closing overs as Paddy and Anthony squirrelled for everything and even dedicated tail-ender John (15) sent some mighty swipes over the boundary. When the dust cleared the

score was 171 and the pressure was all on the Swingers. The Geckos could do no wrong in the field either, early scalps to Greg-O (2/13) and the statesmanlike Peter WynMoylan (2/22), had the Suffolk lads lurching The innings steadied when Toby joined Lloyd (37no) and now the Geckos were chasing leather until he sent a towering rainmaker towards young Fletch at mid-off. He held his nerve and the catch, then took 2/12 with the ball, to knock the stuffing out of Suffolk. The last wickets fell in a flurry and the Geckos had stolen the game by 29 runs. This week the unbeaten Left Bankers threaten to monster the hapless Main Armers who were flogged by the Byron Full-Tossers last week.

Backlash received further unwanted propaganda from unsuccessful Nats candidate Matthew Fraser addressed personally to his post office box. We checked with the Australian Electoral Commission on the propriety of this practice and received a two-word response courtesy of the media department: â€˜not prohibitedâ€™ (they were probably really busy counting something). While â€™not prohibitedâ€™, it is an offensive addition to the amount of junk mail people are bombarded with daily. Hopefully young Matt will now go back to slinging burgers for a living and stop bothering people he doesnâ€™t know. Q Q Q Q
