Large rural seniors development for Bangalow secretly knocked back Hans Lovejoy

Residents have alerted The Echo to a large-scale disability seniors housing proposal on isolated farmland on Rifle Range Road, Bangalow, which was recently considered by the NSW planning department under a largely unknown policy called a Site Compatibility Certificate (SCC).

Council staff have raised concerns over the process while questions from The Echo to the NSW planning minister have been dodged.

The proposal is set on nearly 40 hectares, and would comprise 338

dwellings and 664 beds, cafe and workshops at a cost of $85m.

The property owner is Legate Pty Ltd; a company search shows the director is Barry Richard Wain, who resides in the Sydney harbourside suburb of Darling Point.

And while the proposal was recently refused by the planning department, the process under which it was considered has been questioned by surrounding residents – a Site Compatibility Certificate allows the developer to work through the proposal in secret with the planning department before Council or the

public are made aware.

According to the Department of Planning’s website, the SCC process was ‘introduced as a new safeguard in two state environmental planning policies.’ The department says a moratorium was placed after ‘rising concerns’ about ‘overly large and inappropriate seniors living developments on rural land adjoining urban areas or rural villages.’

A press release from 2009 says, ‘Developers were using a provision in the State Environmental Planning Policy (SEPP), allowing such continued on page 2

Big field for Byron Shire Council race The 2016 council election has a larger lineup than 2012, and includes four current councillors and a swag of new faces.

There are eight groups and two independent councillors to choose from, and six choices for mayor.

Of note is the retirement from public life of conservative councillors Di Woods, Chris Cubis and Sol Ibrahim, while current conservative councillors Rose Wanchap and Alan Hunter are seeking the mayoral position. All five held the balance of power in the 2012–16 term.

Current Greens mayor Simon Richardson is seeking re-election for the top job; he spent the last four years without a majority after the early defection of Cr Wanchap from the Greens. Current leftleaning councillors Basil Cameron (Our Sustainable Future) and Paul Spooner (Country Labor) are also running for mayor. Jack Sugarman is also having another crack at the

top job of mayor, having previously promised to abolish Byron Shire Council if elected.

New faces include James Wright, Byron Bay chamber of commerce president and realtor Gail Fuller, and Cate Coorey from Byron Residents Group. Independents include Matthew Hartley and George Graham.

Current councillor and mayoral candidate Basil Cameron heads Group A, Our Sustainable Future.

His group includes Ash Stennett, who is active within the Mullumbimby Chamber of Commerce.

Main Arm resident and architect Malcolm Price is third, and Judith D’Abbs, otherwise known as Judy MacDonald, is fourth on the ticket.

Cr Cameron said in his pitch for mayor: ‘Our Shire faces major challenges in a rapidly changing world. ‘[These include] development pressures, climate change, protecting our biodiversity, wild coast and heritage, supporting rural communities and local economies, building continued on page 14

Endangered loggerhead turtles hatch at Tyagarah It’s been a long wait but 128 endangered Loggerhead turtles have finally hatched at a nest in the Tyagarah Nature Reserve. National Parks and Wildlife Service staff along with the Department of Primary Industries Fisheries have been monitoring the

nest since it was first discovered by a member of the public in January.

Given a nest usually contains 80 to 100 hatchlings and the endangered status of the Loggerhead turtle, NPWS and DPI Fisheries are encouraged by the suc-

cessful outcome. NPWS area manager Sue Walker said it was important that all nests in NSW were monitored as much as possible.

‘They go through such a challenging life to be able to breed, so reporting turtle tracks and nests is imperative

for keeping records in our wildlife database and it contributes to knowledge supporting the survival of these marine reptiles,’ she said.

NPWS urges the community to to report any nesting turtles to the NPWS Byron Bay office on 6620 9300.

When asked, the planning minister Mark Speakman declined to answer and instead his staff handballed the question to bureaucrats at the Department of Planning and Environment.

Their spokesperson did not answer the question either but instead told The Echo the Site Compatibility Certificate (SCC) is under review as part of a broader SEPP review.

Nevertheless, residents Sue Franklin and Simon Field both expressed concern that such a large-scale development and rezoning of farmland should be considered by the NSW department of planning behind closed doors. Ms Franklin said she came to hear about the proposal by chance after speaking with a neighbour.

Mr Field says he also became concerned after researching other areas of regional NSW where similar projects had been proposed.

Local News Double the tourism money on cards: minister that increased visitor numbers did not change Byron for the worse. He welcomed the increased funding for professional development within the local industry and the opportunity to ensure the state tourism campaigns aligned to local priorities.

Simon Haslam

NSW minister for trade, tourism and major events Stuart Ayres visited Byron Bay last Friday and told Destination Byron’s annual tourism symposium that the NSW government had a goal of doubling overnight visitor expenditure by 2020.

In the year ending March 2016, more than 6.3 million domestic and international visitors came to the northern rivers, representing a rise of more than ten per cent on the previous year’s figures. These visitors stayed for more than 11 million nights, and contributed $1.8 billion to the local visitor economy, Mr Ayres said.

‘More to do’ Mr Ayres said that while the overall growth in regional tourism over the last four years ‘had been fantastic’, there was ‘still more to do’.

‘The NSW government has a goal of doubling overnight visitor expenditure by 2020, and we know that regional tourism is an important driver in meeting this target’, he said.

The northern rivers and Byron Bay, which he said had ‘cemented their place as one of Australia’s most successful tourism destinations’, fall within the newly established North Coast Destination Network, one of six in NSW. The network covers the region from north of Newcastle to the Tweed border, including Lord Howe Island. The NSW north coast is the third largest tourism drawcard in Australia after Sydney and Melbourne.

Mr Ayres said that under the new tourism model the destination networks will talk to Destination NSW to ensure that state tourism campaigns, ‘are reflective of the local tourism offering’.

‘The new destination networks will improve industry engagement and the development of visitor experiences and products. Destination NSW will provide destination networks with operational funding, guaranteed for four years. Working closely with industry, destination networks will develop visitor experiences and tourism product; and promote destinations and industry profes-

sional development’, he said.

The inaugural tourism symposium was held at the newly established Elements of Byron resort in Byron Bay and was attended by local tourism industry operators.

Other speakers included CEO of QLD Airports Chris Mills.

David Jones, marketing manager of Elements of Byron and member of Destination Byron, said that Byron was well placed to ensure

‘We find that visitors to our region are increasingly more environmentally engaged, higher yielding and, importantly, are seeking what I’d call a “reconnection” to something lost in the cities’, Mr Jones said. ‘By ensuring that state tourism campaigns reflect the right message about Byron and the north coast, we can ensure that the community as a whole continues to benefit from this important industry.’

Mayor Simon Richardson said, ‘While we welcome tourism when it is sustainable and respectful of the community and environment, increased visitor numbers also require increased investment from the state government in local infrastructure to ensure that the visitor experience remains a positive one.’

A space that began its life as a response to a war has over the last century become a gathering place for art, craft, music, food, dance, theatre, storytelling, fitness and Mullumbimby’s Biggest Little Choir.

Built during World War I as an army training facility, the Mullumbimby Drill Hall has had a varied life. As a military facility it was home to the Mullumbimby Platoon of 41st Battalion, the Mullumbimby Light Horse Unit and the Returned Soldiers’ Defence Corps during World War II. Between the wars it was used by cadets, the boy scouts, a gymnastics group and a citizens’ band. Postwar it was back to being used by the scouts, the cadets and from 1945 to 1950 by the Intermediate High School, for manual arts.

In 1977 the Drill Hall became the home of the Mullumbimby District Cultural Centre (MDCC), which soon formed a working relationship with the Pacific Players, an amateur dramatic group established in the 1950s. The

hall changed hands from the defence department to Byron Shire Council and by the late 1980s the now cultural complex housed MDCC, Pacific Players, Mullumbimby Adult Learning Association (MALA), and a pottery group.

In 1994 a studio was built onsite. By this time the MDCC had become an incorporated group with two constituent groups: the

drama group now called the Drill Hall Theatre Company and MALA, including the potters.

Next week this facility reaches centenarian status and it has been given a wonderful makeover as a 100th birthday present. With support from Council and theatre company funds, the hall has now been air-conditioned, and there is an agreement with COREM to install

a 12kWh PV system on the roof.

So, it’s time to party! On Sunday August 28, the community is invited to join in the celebrations. With the official opening at 11am there will be a full program of events from a marble competition to drama.

The cake will be cut at around 3.15pm and visitors are invited to attend in period costume.

Belongil court cases ‘resolved’ In news just to hand Byron Shire Council has announced that two Supreme Court litigation cases against Council have been resolved. The first case was instigated by a group of Belongil property owners, the second by separate Belongil property owners.

‘In the first proceeding, the group of Belongil property owners claimed to have suffered significant financial loss and diminution in value of their properties as a result of Council’s historical acts, decisions and omissions relating to the works in front of the Jonson Street carpark and generally in relation to coastal matters,’ Council noted in a media release. ‘In the

second proceeding, Belongil property owners claimed to have incurred significant financial loss and diminution in value of their properties as a result of Council’s acts, decisions and omissions during the 2009 storm event.

‘Both proceedings were defended on behalf of Byron Shire Council by its insurer, who also negotiated the resolution in conjunction with Council. Council and its ratepayers were not required to financially contribute to the settlement.

‘The resolution of the proceedings did not involve any admissions or findings of liability against Council. As part of the resolution, Byron Shire

Council has agreed to allow the property owners to retain any existing protective works adjacent to the Belongil properties in their current form.’

Byron Shire Council’s legal services coordinator Ralph James said that should the property owners wish to maintain, upgrade or replace the existing protective works, they are required to follow the usual approval process.

‘The agreement allows the landowners time to submit applications to undertake lawful protective works at their own cost.

‘Whether the landowners decide to apply to undertake works is a matter for them,’ he said.

Crowdfunding launched for Llama’s family after fire Darren Coyne

A crowdfunding campaign has been created after a fire destroyed a threebedroom home at Upper Coopers Creek on Monday last week.

The fire was deemed by firefighters – and police who later arrived on the scene and cordoned off the area – to have no suspicious circumstances. Robyn Kendall (aka Llama) and daughter Venus ar-

rived home about 3.30pm to find Lakota, Llama’s son, trying to fight the blaze.

‘It was a devastating loss to Llama and her two children Lakota and Venus,’ said a family friend. ‘Llama has lived in the house for nearly 20 years and her doors have always been open to family and friends. So many people over the years received support and shelter there; it was a house filled with love and warmth.’

The majority of the home’s contents

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

were destroyed in the fire, including both children’s belongings and all furniture and Llama’s sewing equipment used in her costume-design business.

Additionally she lost all her hand-made designer costumes which were used at events such as the Tipi Forest at Splendour In The Grass. The crowdfunding site is at http://bit.ly/llamahelp and there will also be a fundraiser event on Friday September 16 at Durrumbul Hall.

Students from Mullumbimby Shearwater Steiner School and visiting Chinese students joined forces last Wednesday to clean up Main Beach in Byron Bay. The group removed more than ten full bags of rubbish, including plastic bottles, soft drink cans, and small plastic fragments.

The beach cleanup was being held as part of a weeklong study tour focused on environmental sustainability. Twenty-two students and educators have travelled from Ealing International College and attached school to Dalian Maritime University in Dalian, China, to participate in the study tour coordinated by local social enterprise Mandarin Pathways and travel company Aoliday.

‘The fact that this Chinese youth study tour is primarily focused on environmental sustainability makes it a first of its kind in NSW, and possibly

in Australia,’ said Katie Grubb, founder and managing director of Mandarin Pathways.

‘Chinese youth don’t get to experience nature like our local youth do, so it’s a chance for them to reconnect and learn sustainability skills to take back home with them.’

Local non-profits, Clean Coast Collective and Wild Search, helped coordinate the beach cleanup. The students took the bags of rubbish back to the Shearwater Steiner School so they could count and record it for the Australian Marine Debris

Initiative, a national database of marine debris coordinated

by Tangaroa Blue. This data will help shape national discussion and policy development on waste management and coastal pollution.

BIG DAY!

Move over, Ewingsdale Seniors – a new proposal is on its way next door. The corner parcel of land that sits on McGettigans Lane and Ewingsdale Road has been put forward as a proposed medical centre with a day theatre, accommodation (12 units), cafe and around 62 car spaces.

The proposal for the 5,497m2 block has been submitted by Brunsmed Pty Ltd. A company search shows the shareholders as Gary, John and Joel Wertheimer, all of whom live around Melbourne.

And as public comment

closed July 27, The Echo asked staff if public exhibition could be extended for another two weeks. The Echo is yet to receive a reply.

Council staff raised concerns over the lack of a traffic mitigation traffic study and its bulk, scale and height; however, a development application lodged this month claims to have addressed concerns. Within the the detailed and well presented 328-page plan, the latest DA concludes that as the application is ‘generally compliant with Council’s controls’ consent should be granted.

‘Traffic impacts may be

a significant constraining factor for development on McGettigans Lane’, Council’s manager of development assessment and compliance, Wayne Bertram, wrote in response to a meeting held between staff and the developer’s representatives in March.

Dip site Additionally he said Council’s Geographic lnformation Systems identifies that the prime agricultural land ‘is affected by a cattledip site buffer.’

The cafe proposal is also inconsistent with the current land use, said Mr Bertram.

The cafe would need to demonstrate that its primary focus is to serve patrons and staff of the hospital as opposed to the retail sale of meals and beverages to the general public, passing traffic and the development of a general dining venue.

In relation to traffic impact near the site Mr Bertram also said, ‘Recent traffic studies undertaken for other developments at the western end of Ewingsdale Road have shown that the roundabout at McGettigans Lane will be required prior to any further significant development occurring.

Brian Latham - Builder/Farmer

Scott Cantrill - Farmer/Teacher

Wally Halvorsen - Small business owner

I moved to the North Coast in 1979 when land at Wategos seemed an outrageous price of $50,000. I purchased a derelict home in Lismore that I restored as close to the original as possible which was historically the first midwife hospital in Lismore. I settled in Ocean Shores and started my own building business employing 10 carpenters, 2 apprentices and contractors and suppliers. I was fortunate enough to build award winning homes.

BA Dip Ed UNSW (Geography/Politics) Army:Educatin Officer at Townsville and Bandiana. Teaching: Sydney Boys High and Byron Bay High School

I grew up in Sydney and at 20, I joined the NSW Fire Brigade where I attained the rank of Senior Fireman. At the age of 30 I purchased a plant nursery with my parents in Coffs Harbour where I met my wife, and from there spent a total of 15 years in tourism running caravan parks. In 1995 we moved to Byron Bay with our two small children to run the Suffolk Park caravan park for Byron council. After a 1 year stint with The Terrace c/van park at Brunswick heads I moved into Property maintenance in 2001. I currently employ my son Tom, and 2 Contractors that form Ironbark Property Maintenance.

After 21 years of residency and working in Byron I consider this to be home. I have witnessed many mayors starting with Dr Kingston and many and varied mayors and Councillors since then. Most have had good intentions but some used their position as a stepping stone to bolster their political future. I have seen the progress needed blocked by past councils that in my judgement have deferred, stalled and impeded the basic need of the workers of this town, being able to acquire housing at an affordable price due to locking up the housing land in the Shire.

My wants are to supply the basics to working people within this Shire.

In essence I have winged and moaned about Council and Councillors over the last 21 years and now its time to put up or shut up, so I am now prepared to give 4 years of my life to my community to make a difference for my children and their children in this Shire.

I am part of The Middle Ground because I respect the fact Rose had the gumption to step back from a group where you had to follow party lines regardless of your views when fully informed of the facts about an issue.

Past Councils have given too much to the legal fraternity through hard line party values and my belief is negotiation not litigation. If you want to know the facts, get out and research it, don’t trust someone else to inform you. That is exactly what Rose has done in her last term and that is one of the reasons I am part of her team.

I can eat with beggars and dine with Kings but I feel more comfortable eating lunch with workers!!

In 2011 I retired and purchased a farm in Mullumbimby overlooked by Mt. Chincogan. Although I still love building my new passion is as caretaker of the land. My partner and I have made a conscious decision to work in partnership with our environment to create a respectful lifestyle that is functional and versatile.

Our farm supports many ecosystems including grasses, wood lands, wetlands and rainforests. Under the principals of Holistic Management our herd is frequently rotated through the paddock. The impact of the cattle actively aerates, fertilizes and improves the soil, helping to create a biological succession of living organisms, plants and creatures great and small.

We have a small paddock to plate business providing an alternative to conventional beef that is healthier for you and the environment, chemical and hormone free, valuing sustainable and ethical farming practices, lower water and energy use, lower food kilometers and increased care and respect for land and animals.

Being caretakers of the land I feel that at State and Federal level the farming community should be rewarded for their efforts.

Our shire has grown and is changing and our biggest need is affordable housing. I have an extended family and grandchildren and want to help them into a home on the land we share and care for.

Kelvin Daly who is the Land Steward/Conceptualiser of the Bruns Eco Village is presenting an option to address the housing shortage.

I see that future subdivisions could follow similar planning utilizing renewable energy, storm water reuse, permaculture gardens, rainwater systems. This is a way to address the need to house our children and their children and keep our culture.

I believe there is a little bit of hippy in all of us.

I represented UNSW in Rugby League and athletics. My pet event was the Decathlon. I served as an Officer in the Australian Army first as a parachutist for 3 years then as an education Officer..

I have owned and managed various businesses around Sydney and taught at Sydney Boys High School where I also coached sport.

I first came to this area for surfing throughout the 80s and 90s and moved to the area permanently in 1999.

I have always taken a keen interest in local politics and recently have decided to become more directly involved.

I am a strong believer in: Human Rights - It is the right of everyone to enjoy a safe, healthy and friendly shire.

I believe in forest regeneration, animal rights and that it is every land owners responsibility to eradicate invasive species and regenerate the original natural environment where possible..

I believe in education access for children from the lower socio-economic demographic and support new business, public transport and affordable housing.

I would like to see work towards providing a good road system and encourage public transport where possible. I think our local halls are an important part of our community and I support the maintenance and improvement of public facilities throughout the shire.

I support new recycling initiatives, rubbish in particular since there are so many visitors to our local area.

I strongly support current planning laws, especially in relation to heights. I expect all planning laws to reflect the will and character of the local population.

I support all initiatives to encourage our young and old in sports and recreation. Council needs to make sure proper change and toilet facilities are available at busy tourist and recreational areas.

I will endeavor to work with other councilors to provide the best services to the people of the Byron Shire….”Where else in the world?”

Ministers take leave of their census

Volume 31 #10

August 17, 2016

Vote like it counts Your mission, if you should choose to accept it, is to familiarise yourself with the Byron Shire Council candidates over the next three weeks and make your vote count on September 10. Vote like the health of the Shire depends upon it.

It’s a big field of runners for punters to choose nine councillors from – see details front page and pages 14–15.

Some have form, some struggle when the going gets slippery and some are rank outsiders and unknowns.

But there’s no excuse – other than bone idleness – for not knowing what’s going on. Read your newspapers, go to the meet-the-candidates events, check out their web pages and, hell, go wild and interrogate them yourself. It’s a good way to find out, to paraphrase Clint Eastwood’s character the Outlaw Josey Wales, who’s pissing down your back and telling you it’s raining.

All the mayoral candidates have form. Simon Richardson is the personable Green who, in the wake of the vigilant Jan Barham, may have tried too hard to be all things to all people, and there were plenty of issues in his basket for ratepayers to get annoyed about. Rose Wanchap, well – she changed horses mid-stream and we all got wet. She runs under a Middle Ground banner while Alan Hunter is aiming for a Shire In Balance. It’s a mythical demographic just like The Silent Majority.

Hunter is probably more likely to pick up a large swag of the votes that former councillor Ross Tucker had a stranglehold on. He owns a farm, which is a big plus for some, and was preselected by the Nationals to run for the federal seat of Richmond in 2010. He picked up 17,146 primary votes against Justine Elliott’s 31,679, albeit in a 15.8 per cent swing against the Nats.

Our Sustainable Future’s Basil Cameron and Country Labor’s Paul Spooner are both bright men who can sustain a line of logic beyond just ‘I don’t like it’, which is handy when dealing with planning regulations. Labor’s overseasdetention-in-hellholes policy might weigh against Spooner for those who wish to take national issues into account.

Jack Sugarman is the perennial joker in the pack, but if you want Byron Shire abolished, he’s your man. Seven hundred and thirty people were convinced he was last time around.

As for councillor candidates, you have 29 to choose from.

Why, you could pick and choose from each group voting ticket and the two independents to find the best and brightest or simply to avoid the dead wood and showponies. If you vote ‘below the line’ you control where your preferences go.

Democracy is not really a game, but it can be intriguing getting your head around all its subtleties and, after all, you’re paying for it. It’s certainly more relevant to a well-functioning society than finding Pikachu in Burringbar Street while playing PoGo. – Michael McDonald

hen you’re hot you’re hot, and when you’re not,

you’re not.

Our prime minister was hardly responsible for the fact that the Australian Bureau of Statistics site crashed (or, the boffins insist, was pulled down) on census night. Only the very partisan and very silly are saying that it was his fault.

But that’s not the point: he will still have to wear the blame for what has been an embarrassing blooper which not only may have derailed the census, but also will set back the public’s confidence in all forms of electronic commerce – what price internet voting for elections? Forget it.

And while they’re at it, the detractors have enough ammunition to make their case that Turnbull is not only accident prone, but careless. The ABS, like so many government agencies, has suffered severe budget cuts since the last census in 2011, and that has meant the forced retrenchment of many senior staff people. So perhaps the bureau has had to cut a few corners; but that is the government’s fault.

Then there is the demonstrable fact that the succession of very junior ministers nominally in charge of the preparations for the census have been negligent, if not downright incompetent; Turnbull should have been more committed to keeping them on the job. But of course he was busy; he had an election to fight.

And that was his fault too.

The buck has to stop somewhere, and in the end it inevitably lands in the prime minister’s suite. This may not have mattered so much if Turnbull and his colleagues had been able to react quickly (nimbly, agilely) and to get their stories straight. As it is, we still don’t

quite know what went wrong, other than the insistence that it involved ‘a confluence’ of mishaps – or, to use the technical term, a clusterfuck.

Self-evidently the bureau was underprepared; but was it the ABS’s own fault, or was it their technical provider, the IBM company?

Was there in fact a real hack attack, and if so, where did it come from? And most importantly, has it meant that the census is buggered – that too many respondents will either have had their worst suspicions about cyber-security confirmed, or are simply pissed off about having

The buck has to stop somewhere, and in the end it inevitably lands in the prime minister’s suite.

by Mungo MacCallum to wait around and have decided to give it all a miss?

Turnbull says he is very angry and disappointed about it all and that there will be serious consequences, but in the meantime all he can do is set up yet another internal review, in which it is unlikely at best that many beans will be spilled.

But that will not be the end of it – if the damage is too great and census irrevocably marred, it will either mean that the whole exercise will have to be abandoned at a cost of some $300 million, or restarted at much the same privileged price. And this will indeed have to be Turnbull’s choice – this time there is no way he can duckshove the blame to bureaucrats and consultants.

Embarrassing at best; but that is not the real problem, which is that we are now starting to see a pattern: unready and sometimes over-hasty decisions which either implode,

exaggerated scuttlebutt; obviously the inmates were deliberately cutting themselves up and setting themselves on fire because they wanted to be with him on the mainland. And we couldn’t have a royal commission into that bit of detention, because it was a matter for the sovereign government of Nauru. This was obviously bullshit, and seen to be bullshit. As well as denial and procrastination, the Turnbull mob were seen to be both hypocritical and silly.

The decision to rissole Kevin Rudd from contention for the United Nations secretary-general’s job was hugely divisive and whatever its merits gave the impression of being spiteful and partisan. And it was unnecessary; if Rudd was so unsuitable, then his rejection could have been handled by the United Nations with no harm done to Turnbull. Once again our putative leader was accused of being a puppet of the hard right.

And then, when the banks refused to pass on the Reserve Bank’s interest rates cuts in full he invited them to an annual confab convened by a committee run by a majority of his own supporters. The bankers agreed enthusiastically, proving that the whole business was a sham and fraud. Turnbull was thus seen as a patsy for them as well.

And right on cue along came Ausgrid and the rejection of its purchase – not only by the sinister forces of Beijing but also the avowedly capitalist megamoguls of Hong Kong.

This, said Turnbull bravely, showed that it had absolutely nothing to do with anti-Chinese prejudice or xenophobia, let alone the concerns of Pauline Hanson, Nick Xenophon or, for that matter, Barnaby Joyce – it was all about national security, but unfortunately he couldn’t tell us how or why.

And on that note of bemusement and confusion, the voters were urged to return to the serious business of getting back to their computers in the hope that the ABS site would allow them to complete their census – if any of them still wanted to.

The political amateurism of Malcolm Turnbull and his government is turning out not to be a series of aberrations, but systematic. We can no longer hope that now, with the election out of the way and won – just – that things will improve: that our revivified prime minister will finally deliver stability and certainty, and perhaps even a measure of genuine reform.

Comparisons with his last three hapless predecessors are now routine, and none of them lasted a full term as prime minister. And time is not on his side. When you’re hot, you’re hot, and when you’re not, you’re Malcolm Turnbull.

You are invited to the Sourdough Business Pathways Lunch with the topic:

Women in Business How can we help?

We know that women face significant barriers in starting, running and growing small businesses. In this lunch Margot Cairnes, founder of 12 Steps for Business, will interview some businesswomen who have been through the process and explore what we can do to help. We will be asking you (both women and men) to address some questions that will shape programs designed to assist, reduce barriers and foster success.

or if they muddle on, end up puzzling and dismaying the electors.

The Royal Commission into the Northern Territory was a commendable idea but a stuffup when it came to implementation. And then we were faced with at least equally serious allegations of abuse in Nauru, emanating not from the despised protectors of human rights but from the reports of the custodians themselves.

Of course Peter Dutton, a man who should not be allowed in a civilised country, let alone in the Australian cabinet, immediately dismissed them as

Well done, Duncan I’d like to acknowledge outgoing councillor Duncan Dey for his hard work and unfailing support of our precious environment.

When issues are clouded in spin, Duncan has an unerring knack of applying common sense to bring them back down to ground.

I appreciated his letters to The Echo explaining complex situations in everyday language using reason and logic with a sense of the absurd.

Thank you, Duncan, for your dedication to the beauty and wellbeing of our Shire.

Farewell, Midget I noted with sadness last week of the passing of Midget Farrelly, our first world surfing champion.

I recall a day at Sydney’s Palm Beach in the 1960s. I’d lost my board and faced a long swim in.

There were no leg ropes back then. The only other surfer out was much further down the beach but paddled in and got my board.

As he came closer I recognised him. It was Farrelly.

The world champion had retrieved an ordinary grom’s board and brought it out to him. To use that hackneyed surfing phrase, I truly was stoked.

A small kindness, yet in the true spirit of what surfing is all about. That day is as sharp in my memory as if it happened yesterday.

Something and someone never to be forgotten. A great champion and a humble man.

Vale, Midget.

Rural impacts The Main Arm Rural Residents Association (MARRA) commends Byron Council planners for excising Main Arm and The Pocket(s) in the revised Byron Rural Land Use Strategy (BRLUS), areas originally identified for 740 new dwellings. Councillors were asked last week to approve the final strategy which staff had comprehensively revised following public exhibition, having responded positively to objections from both the community and the Department of Planning and the Environment (DPE) and other government agencies.

However, throughout the whole rushed process, the gang of five has had a tin ear and demonstrated basic planning incompetence. Last Thursday these conservative councillors treated the community with contempt,

ignored the sensible recommendations made by planning staff and defied explicit directions from the DPE, DPI and OEH to approve key changes that needed to be made in order for the BRLUS to be signed off by the State!

The gang of five came up with muddled, ill-informed amendments, made a mockery of ‘process’ and managed to recreate the original flawed draft. Randomly throwing ten new properties into the mix was a final farcical move as was Cr Hunter’s Byron Farmland Variation amendment.

The strategy is now in limbo, a costly, contradictory and unclear planning document that smacks of self-interest and is doomed to failure.

Let us hope that our new bunch of councillors will reintroduce some vision, intelligence and informed decision making into our council.

community. Unfortunately this is not what is proposed for the site.

The site is 65 acres of good quality farming land on the Lismore–Bangalow road. The application proposes to cover some 37,000sqm with massive sheds. Three of the larger sheds are each approximately six times the size of the current Eden’s Co-operative structure across the road!

Initially the buildings are mostly for ‘manufacturing’ (anticipated growth could see up to 300 employees onsite) but once the farming land is converted to industrial and commercial it will be lost to agricultural practices forever.

I believe it is a gross misuse of the rural zone (RU1 Primary Production).

The traffic impact in and out of Bangalow would be far greater than is identified in the application. There are no bypasses around the town so the majority of extra vehicles, including delivery trucks, would need to travel through town, either along the residential Granuaille Road or

Bangalow pressure Bangalow is facing unprecedented pressure with a large industrial/commercial development proposed for the town. The developer has submitted an application of a size and scale which, if approved, would see the character of Bangalow changed forever.

To make matters more distressing, the staged development is estimated to cost in excess of $23 million, which takes the approval process out of the control of our local council and hands it over to a state government planning panel.

The idea of a low-key ‘food hub’ where local producers can manufacture and distribute their products would definitely be supported by the

THE

Bangalow’s (much-loved) main street.

When it comes to our economic future, our rural land may well be Byron Shire’s greatest asset. Good quality agricultural land for growing crops and trees needs protecting – not rendered useless by inappropriate development. Let’s hope the regional planning panel assessing the proposal has the foresight to refuse the application.

Some chances There is as much chance of this mayor creating affordable housing as there is of a threelegged wombat winning the pole vault in Rio. There is as much chance of any current party group developing an alternative to doubling tourist numbers as there is of a senile koala mastering calculus.

There is as much chance of sane, sensible leadership under Richardson or Spooner as there is of a kangaroo, found dead on the roadside continued on next page

We can get a lift in employment without more mass tourism by developing health industry opportunities, especially in rural areas. We can go further with education, much further, which is why I am advancing residential colleges for university students and academics, and the businesses around them. We can in fact include Ocean Shores in a better planned future, and not just ignore the north.

We can actually get decent planning decisions; I hear excellent proposals every week. We can get people homes to live in by enforcing the bloody law, and shutting down the holiday-let shambles in residential areas. We can reduce rates, and costs to homeowners.

Yes, as a great man famously said, we can. Oh, come on, you know I want you to vote for me, and I’ll be passionate, disciplined, diligent, open-minded, and above all, do my duty. This area, and this country, have given me everything. It is my gratitude that drives me to serve you, my community.

No satisfaction

Bovine Excrement! – I was disappointed such a window was not available when ticking the boxes on the Community Satisfaction Survey.

In an admirable display of concern for the community, Cr Basil Cameron (Our Sustainable Future party) advocates the recently closed Mullumbimby hospital be recycled for aged care or lowincome housing. ‘If we want to stop the site from being sold to developers, then we need to make sure the state government, which controls the site, understands how strongly the community feels about the site and our vision.’

(Echo, June 22) At the beginning of the current term of office, councillors and the community were advised that, as the financial situation was worse than suspected, the plan of previous councils to sell the Roundhouse site to developers should be adopted and implemented immediately.

If the finances could not be brought to a manageable level, councillors and top management could be replaced with an administrator and Council possibly amalgamated with another.

The community questions the commitment of the coun-

cillors who trusted and heeded such advice without query, which led to no expense being spared or legal stone unturned to achieve that outcome.

Basil’s vision invokes a strong sense of déjà vu for the community, especially with the added legal involvement we had in the Roundhouse site. Surely a worthwhile community benefit could have been achieved with Council negotiating an accommodation partnership with an organisation similar to North Coast Community Housing.

Safe houses or emergency accommodation for victims of domestic violence could have been established with the aid of the relevant government departments.

Establishment costs to Council, community and service providers would have been minimal. Unfortunately public relations kudos would also be minimal.

perience bondage without machinery. Traditional Australian Indigenous people did not feel enslaved despite mostly eschewing machinery.

Moreover, tribal, pre-literate peoples did not work as many hours as the civilised. It is, for example, common for some civilised, modern households to work 16-hour days!

The ability to improve one’s mind and enjoy life does not suddenly occur with the advent of machinery. A working life can be enjoyed provided it is not arduous and there is no reason why a human mind cannot be stimulated by humane work.

Reduction in arduousness is dependent on people using human smarts to minimally but adequately supply food, clothing and shelter, rather than particularly, machinery.

The reason why many of the civilised feel enslaved is that they demand excessive stuff in the hope it will bring happiness. After 10,000 years of civilisations, the civilised are still to remember that contentment comes primarily from within. It is related to the sociability that the civilised have turned their backs on, in favour of materialism and an obsessive concern for the economic.

Making money

Further to Dr Liz Elliot’s fine article on money creation (Echo, July 27), all money these days is loaned into ex-

netdaily.net.au istence. A simple equation ‘Loan made = Loan repaid’ is do-able. But interest is charged, making the equation ‘Loan made = Loan repaid + Interest’, which is not do-able.

The interest is never created; it has to be paid out of the loan. Thus the loan itself is not repayable. To keep the scam going, more loans are made so the interest can be paid. But the non-do-ability doesn’t go away.

We, including governments and councils, just go deeper into debt. Who gets the interest? The 0.1 per cent of super-rich humans who own the banks and run governments and corporations at our expense.

In 1912, the original Australian Commonwealth Bank created genuine money, against bitter opposition, by charging only half a per cent interest – the era of the Lucky Country. Thus Australians did not go further into debt to the Bank of England during WWI. And in peacetime Australians benefited from, and were grateful to, this genuine money system.

You can read about Governor Dennison Miller and the colourful King O’Malley in The story of the Commonwealth Bank by D J Amos, or The Money Trick by Colin Barclay-Smith.

Politicians can understand this issue, as they did 100 years ago. It’s already been done; it can be done again.

Byron Shire… …another ‘Paradise Lost’?

Last Friday, the Baird NSW government announced a goal of doubling the tourism intake of Byron Shire in just four years.

That’s another 1,000,000 people per year.

In addition, new urban subdivisions already passed by Council will see 1,800 new dwellings built across the Shire in the near future.

And now, the highly contentious Rural Land Use Strategy, recently passed by the pro-development faction of councillors will see thousands more dwellings across our beautiful hinterland.

Are you okay with all that?

Community Action Network wants to know why we the people of Byron Shire have not been asked by the state government how we feel about their tourism plan and the impact on our community and its already struggling infrastructure.

Are they too intent on imposing their own vision for Byron, without consulting us who live here?

C.A.N is being contacted by people who are distressed by what is going on in their once-peaceful Shire.

Many developments and enterprises are being undertaken by people who are here to make a buck, often not residents, let alone on the electoral roll.

C.A.N is not saying “Stop all Development!”

We are asking for sane and sustainable development

and a healthy local economy that supports businesses, tradespeople and artisans who are part of our community, and not fly-by-nighters.

We need to stand united to protect the natural assets of Byron Shire, and preserve our culture of coast and country.

We now need ethical and visionary councillors coming together to make commonsense decisions on behalf of the community.

C.A.N will publish our list of Preferred Candidates prior to the election.

‘The combination of professional experience, community-leading experience and rich personal experience ensures that our team will embrace the responsibility of being a councillor with humility, sensitivity and intelligence.’

‘For committed, talented and positive community leaders, who can steer Byron Shire towards a future that embraces the challenges of change, while preserving the uniqueness of our community, look no further than the Green Team in 2016.’

Group C – Country Labor Seeking a second term on Council, Cr Paul Spooner, from Byron Bay, will also be standing as mayor.

His ticket includes author and educator Jan Hackett (Byron Bay) and school teacher and principal William Constable (Mullumbimby). They are followed by SCU student of politics and government, Joe Dawson (Ocean Shores), former ALP adviser Monika Wheeler (Bangalow) and United Voice union organiser Peter Doherty (Bangalow).

Cr Spooner told The Echo: ‘I want to lead a constructive council that makes the best decisions for our community.

I will provide a sensible alternative for the Shire’s top job.’

‘People can have confidence that the Shire’s finances will be professionally managed, that the roads will be fixed and their rates will go towards maintaining the community facilities and infrastructure our community needs.

‘I want to ensure that locals can afford to live in decent housing while maintaining secure employment in our region. We live in one of the best places in the world and I

want to support, promote and protect our wonderful community and its north coast lifestyle.

‘As a progressive mayor I will deliver better planning policies, greater investment in renewable energy, effective communication and improved transport options. I will ensure that our environment is in safe hands and the diversity of our community is respected. I ask you to join with me to create a caring, inclusive and vibrant Byron Shire together.’

Group D – The Middle Ground Current councillor and mayoral candidate Rose Wanchap is again running for council, having been elected on a Greens ticket in 2012.

She quit the party early in Council’s term. She brings three others – Brian Latham (Mullum Rural Co-op), Scott Cantrill from Byron Bay, and also from Byron Bay is number four on the ticket, Walter Halvorsen.

According to Group D’s advertisement, ‘It’s time for a new type of politics. Time for the left and the right to come to the centre. We need to find the Middle Ground.

Our Shire faces a number of challenges that our elected councillors will need to have the courage and foresight to address. Not just the growing concerns around climate change, pesticide proliferation and water degradation but our economy is also on dangerous ground.’

Group E – James Wright Young newcomer to politics is James Wright, who lives in Mullumbimby. He also ran for the senate in the recent federal election.

James Wright recently stood as an independent candidate for the Australian Senate in the July 2nd Federal Election. His platform was centred on democratic reform and the use of technology to enable a greater level of participation by all members of the community.

‘Local government is the ideal place to explore and enable this upgrade to our democratic process. Why should we wait every four years to have our say as a community?’ says James. ‘If elected we make a firm commitment to use new technology platforms such as FLUX and Udemi to allow the people of Byron Shire to make up their mind on issues and have a voice on an ongoing basis.’

‘We stand as a group united with a clear single focus and goal to make the Byron Shire a leading example not only nationally by globally for its support services for those living without a home and the creation of new affordable housing communities.’

Second on Group E is Coorabell resident Liam Munday. Liam Munday stood as an NSW independent candidate for the senate in a heartfelt quest to promote the concept of Ubuntu, an African

Bradley Wodiske from Byron Bay is number four, and previously ran on outgoing councillor Sol Ibrahim’s ticket in 2012. Bradley stands again this council election ‘dissatisfied and unhappy with the decisions made by Mr Ibrahim in his term as councillor’. Bradley stood with Mr Ibrahim on the foundation of a platform of consultative and transparent governance and leadership. He does not feel these were followed and stands with James in his team to ensure Byron sees the return of a green and progressive majority.

on Cr Woods’s ticket and is a National Party member.

Second on Cr Hunter’s ticket is Marc Patten, a retired police officer and president of Shores United Soccer Club.

Third is fellow Ocean Shores resident Tina Petroff and fourth is Brian Grant, who is from Byron Bay. Cr Hunter’s statement reads: ‘New team to put Byron Shire back in balance.’ Mr Hunter says the team aims to balance opportunity with the obligations that come from living in such a unique location. ‘The opportunities for the Shire are endless but we need to remain focused on building community capacity and not tearing it down.

‘We can do so much for measurable outcomes such as jobs, visitor numbers, established environmental benchmarks and community social expectations. But we also have an obligation to respect our environment, as well as our financial capacity and social diversity to capitalise on our international profile, regional strength and local talent for the benefit of all residents.’

Mr Hunter says his team is best placed to deliver on these outcomes through a mix of a proven track record on Council and community involvement on the ground.

‘In the last four years we have worked hard to reduce Council’s debt by over $20 million, increased our annual infrastructure spend by ten times, developed masterplans for our towns, upgraded our parks and sporting facilities, improved business confidence and much more.

‘But this hasn’t been easy to achieve with a faction within Council determined to scuttle any attempts to get on with a responsible attitude to managing the Shire. Council has been deemed fit for the future because difficult decisions have finally been made, debt has been reduced and an opportunity has been offered on a way forward for a sustainable future.

The Galileo gambit and other stories: the three main tactics of climate denial In TheConversation.com Stephan Lewandowsky examines ‘conspiratorial mumbo jumbo’

T

he recently elected One Nation senator from Queensland, Malcolm Roberts, fervently rejects the established scientific fact that human greenhouse gas emissions cause climate change, invoking a fairly familiar trope of paranoid theories to propound this belief.

Roberts variously claims that the United Nations is trying to impose world government on us through climate policy, and that CSIRO and the Bureau of Meteorology are corrupt institutions that, one presumes, have fabricated the climate extremes that we increasingly observe all over the world.

Conspiracism In the world of Malcolm Roberts, these agencies are marionettes of a ‘cabal’ of ‘the major banking families in the world’. Given the parallels with certain strands of anti-Jewish sentiment, it’s perhaps an unfortunate coincidence that Roberts has reportedly relied on a notorious Holocaust denier to support this theory.

It might be tempting to dismiss his utterances as conspiratorial ramblings. But they can teach us a great deal about the psychology of science denial.

They also provide us with a broad spectrum of diagnostics to spot pseudoscience posing as science.

This conspiratorial mumbo jumbo inevitably arises when people deny facts that are supported by an overwhelming body of evidence and are no longer the subject of genuine debate in the scientific community, having already been tested thoroughly. As evidence mounts, there comes a point at which inconvenient scientific findings can only be explained away by recourse to huge, nebulous and nefarious agendas such as the World Government or Stalinism.

First, the appeal to a conspiracy among scientists, bankers and governments is never just a slip of the tongue but a pervasive and necessary ingredient of the denial of well-established science.

The tobacco industry referred to medical research on lung cancer as being conducted by an ‘oligopolistic cartel’ that ‘manufactures alleged evidence’.

Some people accuse the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) of creating and

spreading AIDS, and much anti-vaccination content on the web is suffused with conspiratorial allegations of totalitarianism.

This conspiratorial mumbo jumbo inevitably arises when people deny facts that are supported by an overwhelming body of evidence and are no longer the subject of genuine debate in the scientific community, having already been tested thoroughly.

As evidence mounts, there comes a point at which inconvenient scientific findings can only be explained away by recourse to huge, nebulous and nefarious agendas such as the World Government or Stalinism.

If you are addicted to nicotine but terrified of the effort required to give up smoking, it might be comforting instead to accuse medical researchers of being oligopolists (whatever that means).

Likewise, if you are a former coal miner, like Malcolm Roberts, it is perhaps easier to accuse climate scientists of colluding to create a world government (whatever that is) than to accept the need to take coal out of our economy.

There is now ample research showing the link between science denial and conspiracism. This link is supported by independent studies from around the world.

Everyone’s authority: the scientist Galileo Galilei (1564–642), from a painting by Giusto Sustermans.

Indeed, the link is so established that conspiracist language is one of the best diagnostic tools you can use to spot pseudoscience and science denial.

The Galileo gambit How else can science dissenters attempt to justify their contrarian position? Another tactic is to appeal to heroic historical dissenters, the usual hero of choice being Galileo Galilei, who overturned the orthodoxy that everything revolves around the Earth.

This appeal is so common in pseudoscientific quackery that it is known as the Galileo gambit. The essence of this argument is: ‘They laughed at Galileo, and he was right.

They laugh at me, therefore I am right.’

A primary logical difficulty with this argument is that plenty of people are laughed at because their positions are absurd. Being dismissed by scientists doesn’t automatically entitle you to a Nobel prize.

Another logical difficulty with this argument is that it implies that no scientific opinion can ever be valid unless it is rejected by the vast majority of scientists. Earth must be flat because no scientist other than a Googling Galileo in Gnowangerup says so. Tobacco must be good for you because only tobaccoindustry operatives believe

it. And climate change must be a hoax because only the heroic Malcolm Roberts and his Galileo Movement have seen through the conspiracy.

Yes, Senator-elect Roberts is the project leader of the Galileo Movement, which denies the scientific consensus on climate change, favouring instead the opinions of a pair of retired engineers and the radio personality Alan Jones.

Any invocation of Galileo’s name in the context of purported scientific dissent is a red flag that you’re being fed pseudoscience and denial.

The rejection of wellestablished science is often couched in sciency-sounding terms. The word ‘evidence’ has assumed a particular prominence in pseudoscientific circles, perhaps because it sounds respectable and evokes images of Hercule Poirot tenaciously investigating dastardly deeds.

Sounding scientific Since being elected, Roberts has again aired his claim that there is ‘no empirical evidence’ for climate change.

But ‘show us the evidence’ has become the war cry of all forms of science denial, from anti-vaccination activists to creationists, despite the existence of abundant evidence already.

This co-opting of the language of science is a useful

rhetorical device. Appealing to evidence (or a lack thereof) seems reasonable enough at first glance. Who wouldn’t want evidence, after all?

It is only once you know the genuine state of the science that such appeals are revealed to be specious. Literally thousands of peer-reviewed scientific articles and the national scientific academies of 80 countries support the pervasive scientific consensus on climate change. Or, as the environmental writer George Monbiot has put it: ‘It is hard to convey just how selective you have to be to dismiss the evidence for climate change.

You must climb over a mountain of evidence to pick up a crumb: a crumb which then disintegrates in the palm of your hand. You must ignore an entire canon of science, the statements of the world’s most eminent scientific institutions and thousands of papers published in the foremost scientific journals.’

Misleading Accordingly, my colleagues and I recently showed that in a blind test – the gold standard of experimental research – contrarian talking points about climate indicators were uniformly judged to be misleading and fraudulent by expert statisticians and data analysts.

Conspiracism, the Galileo gambit and the use of sciency-sounding language to mislead are the three principal characteristics of science denial. Whenever one or more of them is present, you can be confident you’re listening to a debate about politics or ideology, not science.

REJUVENATE • PAMPER • INDULGE

HEALING IS IN THE APPROACH MULLUM DENTAL – YOUR FRIENDLY FAMILY DENTIST There are two primary approaches to health. The most commonly used approach is symptomatic relief – for example, if you have a headache, you take a painkiller, headache is resolved, but may reappear on a regular basis requiring ongoing medication.

The second, rarely used approach is to address the cause of the headache – for example, a common cause for headache is dehydration, so having a large glass of water will commonly bring about exactly the same results – no headache – in the same timeframe, with no drugs required, however. You now understand why you have a headache and you drink more water, experiencing far fewer headaches.

At the Good Skin Clinic we teach our patients the cause and best treatment for their skin conditions, empowering them to live without the pain and embarrassment of their disease.

At Mullumbimby Dental Centre, each of our patients experiences unparalleled care in our tranquil and relaxing environment.

Each of our four surgeries overlooks peaceful tropical gardens, and our practice has been built to provide the ultimate comfort and care for our patients. We have invested in the finest dental technology and equipment to support the delivery of our state-of-the-art dental treatments. At Mullumbimby Dental Centre our dentists have a keen focus on patient education and strive to help each of your family members achieve optimal oral health.

Exclusive and highly sought after, Coopers Shoot is truly a top destination for the purchase of a luxury home.

Unsurpassed lavish living is evident from the moment you arrive at this impressive, private home on 1.5 glorious acres overlooking paradise.

With nearly 500 square meters of living space over three tiers, each and every detail has been highly considered. Words cannot describe the luxurious feel this property presents.

Each bedroom has its own ensuite bathroom, so you and your guests can feel like they are on holiday in their own hotel suite every day. In fact, they won’t want to leave, why would you?

Beautifully landscaped and maintained, the grounds surrounding the home provide a private oasis in this highly desirable location.

Properties in this area and of this quality do not come up often.

Unfortunately, the owner’s situation has changed which now requires the property to be sold.

Please do not hesitate to inspect this unique property.

Located only moments from the heart of Bangalow village on a 669m2 (approx) corner block, this home is ready for you to move straight into. An abundance of glass, in particular the expansive floor to ceiling feature window in the entry foyer, captures the scenic rural outlook from all angles.

Open plan dining and living space flows to multiple indoor/ outdoor living options & bedrooms are extremely generous and all have their own private timber deck area. Beautiful timber flooring, an abundance of natural light, high ceilings and square cut cornices make this home very appealing to the most discerning buyers. Spacious front yard has room for pool (STCA).

Call Lois now to arrange an inspection.

Located just 30 metres to the pristine sands and crystal clear waters of South Golden Beach, this award winning architectural design by Gabriel Poole Homes is simply stunning.

Offering the ultimate beachside escape, the property is conveniently located in this unspoilt, sleepy seaside town, yet is only a short distance to Byron Bay and all it has to offer.

This property has been described as ‘The best kept secret in the Byron Bay region’, and it’s easy to see why, ‘Moonbeach’ is quite simply, its own slice of heaven on earth. The only thing missing is you!

Calculating the cost of buying a house The cost of buying a house is likely to be one of the largest sums of money you will spend, but what about all those extra expenses that might not have crossed your mind?

Buying property is a big step, whether you are a first-time buyer or onto your fourth purchase. While you will be well aware of how expensive it is to buy a home, you may not have thought through all of the smaller costs.

It’s not just your mortgage that you will need to keep on top of; among the additional costs that need to be covered are legal fees, pest and building inspection fees, search fees, government charges (such as stamp duty), moving costs and insurance.

To help you through the property-buying process you will need a solicitor to legally transfer ownership of the property you are buying and handle all legal aspects of your purchase, otherwise known as conveyancing.

At Stuart Garrett Lawyers we offer you affordable conveyancing with premium service. With our flat-fee conveyancing, you will be charged a fixed professional fee for our services, which we will advise at the start of the conveyancing process.

Our flat-fee conveyancing service gives you greater peace of mind for one of life’s largest transactions. info@stuartgarrettlawyers.com.au 2/47 Tweed Coast Road, Cabarita Beach (next to the newsagency) – 02 6676 0247 3/130 Jonson Street, Byron Bay (next to Services Club)

Variety is the fruit of life Story & photos by Vivienne Pearson With spring almost in sight, it’s time to turn your thoughts to luscious fruits. Two people who have exotic fruit firmly in their sights all year round are John and Lyndall Picone.

You might recognise their smiling faces from local farmers markets. If you’ve missed their colourful stall, you can either wait until October (once most fruit starts ripening) or you could visit them at their farm! A tour of Picone Exotics, located near Mullumbimby, will leave your mind blown and your taste buds tingling.

It is not a farming model that lends itself to selling to big restaurants, combined with his use of energy within the such as NOMA Australia, who recently orchard. ‘One guy called it Intentional Farming, approached Picone. John loves the local but I don’t have a name for it,’ says John. He markets, and especially his regulars who know simply applies intuitive ideas learned through to come early, and he supplies local restaurants martial arts and meditation. He only waters such as Harvest and Fleet. It is a farming model when a tree is first planted and uses almost no that makes for a great tour. I ended my visit fertiliser. with sticky hands, inspired taste buds and a Though John’s and Lyndall’s first careers small bounty of fruit to take home. were in graphic design, growing food is firmly I happily lost track of the myriad types of in John’s heritage. ‘My father could almost fruit I was seeing and tasting, but was struck by grow veges on concrete,’ says John of his years seeing cacao and pepper grow and John tells in suburban Sydney.

Though John’s apricot trees are not yet big enough to climb, John is certainly totally at home within his exotic orchard.

Among turmeric’s claimed benefits is the regeneration of brain stem cells, which is why we have no hesitation in also recommending the Turmeric Margaritas at Fleet in Brunswick Heads: the more you drink the smarter you seem, at least to yourself.

Curcumin is the main active ingredient in turmeric. It has powerful antiinflammatory effects and is a very strong antioxidant. Pictured here is the turmeric-and-coconut-milk drink incarnating as a Golden Milk turmeric latte at Poinciana Cafe in Mullumbimby.

Picone Exotics has grown over the past seven years from being an empty piece of land – albeit it with stunning views – to a picturesque orchard containing small numbers of more than 200 varieties of fruit-bearing plants.

Roll out the barrel Some of The Echo crew were treated to a fun tour of the Byron home of Stone & Wood brewing recently. While one of the most interesting bits was our pseudo-scientific tasting of the actual beers, the tours, which are open all year to members of the general public, impart a wealth of information on different hops and brewing techniques.

While the growing national popularity of the local brew has seen them establish a second plant in Murwillumbah, the old bottling line (producing a paltry 1,000 bottles an hour on a good day) is still in existence, and the Byron birthplace of the brewery itself is used to brew limited releases as well as housing the pilot brewery for experimental batches.

described as salty and sour, finishing with a touch of funk, it was interesting to hear it tipped as the sort of style that may well be more widespread in the future.

While some of The Echo crew who had tried the pilot brew at The Rails were initially taken aback by the Gose, a rare German beer style

The Echo spoke with a couple of the bands performing on the day.

HILLBILLY GOATS Kick yer shoes off, put yer hoe down, and hang on to yer britches with 2016 Golden Guitar nominees for Bluegrass single of the year The Hillbilly Goats.

Mahney Wearne spoke with The Echo.

What first attracted you to Appalachian music?

It was a love and passion for bluegrass music that set us on our journey deep into Appalachian history. Once we discovered the roots of bluegrass stemmed back to early immigrants from Ireland, Scotland and Africa predominantly, we found a new love. A love of researching stories and hunting through archives to find music that should be rebirthed and retold to new generations. Stringband mountain music was created by these immigrants’ being so isolated and influencing each other over the centuries with their rhythms, tunes and instruments. When the music came out of the mountains in the 1920s, it began to evolve into hillbilly, country and western, bluegrass, rock and roll and even certain strains of the blues.

How do you guys incorporate Appalachian Mountain music into your live set?

We twist traditional, old-time folk music into our own style, which is highly energetic, and present it onstage with colourful costumes and a whole lot of stories about the history of the songs. Fast and furious fiddle and harmonica with banjo, bones, double bass and a bit of Appalachian foot percussion (tap dancing).

What is it do you think that has seen so many people flocking to bluegrass? Is it part of the bespoke trend do you think?

I personally feel that music has become so electronic that for us we’re really passionate about taking it back full circle to the roots. People love to see real instruments with real harmonies and that’s what you get with bluegrass and old-timey music. The rhythms and the pace of this music put audiences into a really happy, feelgood space. How can you be sad when there’s banjo and fiddle? This music is insidious!

How was it recording your new album with Nash Chambers?

Working with Nash was a great experience for us as he grew up on the old-time country roots music. He has an understanding of how it was played and recorded all those years ago and he’s all about ‘the vibe’ and keeping it real. We didn’t use click tracks – all the recording was done in live takes and the percussion was all random bits and pieces that were lying around the studio – garbage cans, rusty cymbals and even an old horn from a Sydney double-decker bus! Nash is a fantastic producer and his influence has helped us to create a record that we’re really proud of and that saw us as finalists in the 2016 Golden Guitars for Bluegrass Single of the Year.

You were nominees for a 2016 Golden Guitar for Rabbit in a Log as Bluegrass Single of the Year. Tell me a little about the song.

Rabbit in a Log is an old hunting tune that was bluegrassed initially by Bill Monroe and Doc Watson.

What should we expect from your show?

Kick yer shoes off, put yer hoe down and hang on to yer britches! The Goats deliver this old-time music with passion and energy, interspersing stories and song to present a fun, family-friendly, feelgood show! Goat Boy plays three instruments at once – drums with his feet, harmonica in his mouth and strings in his hands! It truly is a visual feast!

THE STETSON FAMILY Bluegrass five-piece The Stetson Family, who are high lonesome country folk, reached US chart status with tales of love gone wrong, snakehandling preachers and wandering down life’s crooked highway.

Nadine Budge spoke with The Echo.

How would you describe your approach to music?

Three of the five members of The Stetson Family have played music together in various forms since the heady glam-pop 80s in Schizo Scherzo when it was all about synthesisers, makeup and mullets, touring with Farnsy and playing with The Eurythmics and The Monkeys. We’ve individually traversed genres since then, until nine years ago after seeing O Brother Where Art Thou we all fell in love with the music, took up banjo and dobro and started writing our own style of mountain music.

Three albums later (the latest, True North, spending seven months on charts in the USA) we’ve found our Americana-Bluegrassy groove!

THIS WEEKEND SEES THE THIRD ANNUAL BANGALOW BBQ & BLUEGRASS FESTIVAL HIT THE BANGALOW A&I HALL AND SHOWGROUNDS .

What song are you most enjoying playing on stage at the moment?

Run Daddy Run is our favourite to play at the moment – a dark tale of what happens when mumma’s not happy and sends daddy headin’ for the hills.

How do your three-part harmonies add to the musicality? Can you always sing like that with people, or does it help to have their voice tonally different from yours in some way?

The natural harmonies of frontperson Nad Budge and John Bartholomeusz is what brought them together back in the 80s.

Harmonies are a really important part of The Stetson Family sound and give us all a huge buzz when we get the four parts happening. Luckily our voices are tonally different so we can hit the bottoms, mids and highs. Harmonies are our soul food!

Who are the musicians who have influenced you?

Our musical influences are varied and certainly not all traditional, ranging from The Carter Family of old through to Emmylou Harris, Old Crow Medicine Show and Lucinda Williams. It’s all part of ‘newgrass’, which is a blend of traditional style and contemporary influences.

What should we expect for your live set at Bangalow BBQ and Bluegrass Festival?

We love to take the audience on a journey down life’s crooked highway, have them dancing in the aisles through to crying in their beers with songs of murder, mayhem and tales of the human heart.

THE CARTRIDGE FAMILY Known for their breezy, sunshine-filled hillbilly harmonies of death, and for their strong affiliation to public radio, firearms and printing, The Cartridge Family bring their three-part harmonies and two-part jokes to town.

Sussanah Espie spoke with The Echo.

Tell me about the Cartridge Family?

The Cartridge Family was born out of an iconic radio show called Twang, which airs on Melbourne’s Triple R FM every Saturday afternoon. Three or four times a year they put on a show called Grand Ole Twang (à la Grand Ole Opry) which is two hours of live music in a theatre, featuring touring artists from both Australia and abroad.

What the hell happened to the Census? For the next four years the government will be using the data of a handful of people without computers who actually triumphed over electronic citizens when the online platform spat the dummy. That’s right; all future planning will now be done with the average citizen being 82-yearold Iris with two dogs, a dead husband and zero work hours.

Instead of schools and parks, nursing homes will be springing up on every street corner.

Contrary to the belief of conspirators, and there are many, the census is not the government’s

attempt at securing all your data for private sale. That arena has already been cornered by corporations. We give that data freely to Woolies and Coles and our online shopping sites every time we swipe our loyalty or credit cards.

Information collected by the ABS (Australian Bureau of Statistics) is actually vital in creating a profile of Australian life, establishing how much we work, our ethnicity, our education, our housing situation etc. The information gathered helps create profiles of our community so government can plan for schools and roads and basic infrastructure.

THE CARTRIDGE FAMILY

THE SENSELESS In fact, Annabel Crabb’s The Wife Drought was written pretty well entirely using the data from a previous census. In that book she proved that women still do most of the housework and the childcare. (Oh surprise, surprise.)

Even women CEOs did more around the house than their lazyarse husbands.

This kind of information is vital.

When I throw a tantrum and sulk about how hard I work, I now have evidence to show that my plight is part of a much larger pattern of female martyrdom. It doesn’t change things, but when you are on your hands and knees scrubbing out the bins it’s nice to know that behind every gate in the street there is another woman wondering what the fuck

happened to her life.

The government has been counting its citizens for years.

Jesus was born on census night.

Their online platforms were in the form of donkeys that were employed to return them to their place of birth. Fortunately we’ve upgraded our technology a little.

But in comparison I think the donkey beat the internet this year.

The powers that be tell us that the online census was hacked so they closed it down, but one suspects the architects of the website underestimated the impact of most of Australia going online at the same time to visit the site. When has technology ever worked smoothly the first time?

The questions in the Census

ENTERTAINMENT

might seem invasive, but I think if it’s going to be a useful tool for profiling the community then we should add a few more, to give a more rounded picture of who we actually are. I want the government to know that I am more than my house, my husband, my kids and my job.

So as we now have a bit of extra time to submit let’s add a few more questions… such as: Are You Happy? How often do you call your mother? Do you have any tattoos? Do you use a breadboard instead of a plate? Do you remove all your pubic hair?

Where do you like to be kissed?

Do you cry in movies? When driving how often do you employ the middle finger as a one-finger

salute to oncoming drivers?

Have you let yourself go? Is life as exciting and rewarding as you thought it would be?

Do you do yoga? If you answer Yes, do you secretly look around the class to check that you are the bendiest? Do you have a problem with a mosque in your area? How would you feel if Muslims took over your school canteen? Do you still look good naked? Do you still read?

This would create a more threedimensional character for future planning. ‘The average Australian citizen for 2016 is a 35-year-old hipster running a cafe in Byron Bay serving food on breadboards; he only calls his mother for money for essential items such as beard trimmers and yoga retreats. He likes to be kissed in that sweet spot behind his ear, and yes, he does look good naked. In fact he’s online naked now.’

So instead of worrying about what we tell the government, let’s tell them bloody everything.

Live Music BELLA MUSIC

BRING ON THE BLUEGRASS!

CONT. FROM p29 All the members of the Cartridge Family were members of the Grand Ole Twang house band, and we had so much fun together that we decided it was time to get ourselves a gig so we could see each other more often. That was about five years ago.

The original inspiration musically was The Carter Family and country music of that era, so the material goes way back. And these days we play a lot of originals with a definite comedy bent penned by our bass player and singer Rusty Berther, who was one half of the Scared Weird Little Guys for more than 20 years. I don’t remember a Cartridge Family gig where I haven’t cried with laughter. I’m getting very good at singing and laughing (and crying) at the same time.

Your Pozible campaign raised your target in 24 hours. Tell me a bit about AmericanFest in Nashville and why you want to play there.

The response to my Pozible campaign has been amazing, and it’s still rising! Every September Nashville plays host to Americanafest. This year it’ll be happening over 20–25 September. The event brings together fans and music industry professionals alike, offering six days of celebration through seminars, panels and networking opportunities by day, and raw, intimate showcases each night. I have been asked to join the Sounds Australia contingent of singer/songwriters who will play shows at some of Nashville’s most iconic venues during the festival. I am arriving a week before the festival to meet with industry professionals and friends I’ve made over the years who reside in Nashville. I’ve been there before, many years ago, for the first time with my old band Git in 2002 and then again when I went to Memphis to represent Melbourne in the International Blues Challenge in 2008. Being surrounded by so much incredible music day after day was such a creative shot in the arm, but it was also an enormous boost to my confidence to have my performances and songs received so warmly in the place where the music I play was born. I just can’t wait to get back there to be immersed and inspired.

Why do you think we’ve had such a spike in our appetite for Americana and Bluegrass? What does it offer the listener that straight-up folk or country don’t?

As far as I’m concerned they are all one and the same; folk, country and bluegrass all fall under the banner of Americana. It’s a pretty vague term.

What song are you most enjoying playing at the moment?

Have just started playing one of my songs on electric guitar with my band The Last Word; they’re pretty fun.

What should we expect for your performance at Bluegrass Festival?

Hilarity, heavenly harmony, ho-down fiddle and a little bit of colourful language Friday: Old-Time Variety Show at the Bangalow A&I Hall from 6pm with Saturday’s 10am–5pm full day of barbecue meat, craft beer, music, food and fun.

TORA RETURNS In a country that boasts an ever-growing and internationally acclaimed electronic music scene, Tora have earned their place as one of Australia’s most promising young acts.

For the last six months, the boys from Byron Bay have been touring in northern-hemispheric summer, performing at Glastonbury, Fusion Festival, and more than 70 other festivals and headline shows across Europe, America, Mexico and Canada. They have now returned to Australia to start writing their debut album, and support RÜFÜS / RÜFÜS DU SOL on their Australiawide tour. This will then be followed by their national Australian headline tour in August.

Tora’s music has been described as a ‘blend of ambient harmonies, layered rhythms and pulsing soundscapes’, which has had them compared to Little Dragon and James Blake. Tora’s soothing three-part vocals are prominent on most of the tracks released to date but are not always the feature as the instrumental sections often tell the story.

Claire is also the assistant editor of The Journal of Australian Ceramics, Australia’s most widely read contemporary ceramics magazine.

Claire spoke with The Echo about the Mud Trail, an exciting new project that takes the community into the studios of our local potters.

Why did you come up with the Mud Trail?

The average home is full of mass-produced cheap ceramic imports, so it comes as a surprise to many people that potters still exist, let alone that your neighbour might be one! So the idea for an annual national event celebrating Australian ceramics was born. The Australian Ceramics Open Studios was dreamed up by Vicki Grima in 2013. Vicki is the editor of The Journal of Australian Ceramics, and the executive officer of The Australian Ceramics Association, an association that represents more than 1,000 Australian potters. In August every year hundreds of potters around the country open their studio doors to the public.

We came up with the The Mud Trail as a local response to that national event. On the Mud Trail our potters share their passion, skills and knowledge with the community. The community get their hands dirty; some reconsider the way they think about ceramics; and for others it’s a complete epiphany and the beginning of a relationship with clay!

Do we have much of a community of potters?

Potters belong to ancient craft tradition, and with that comes the particular cameraderie that artists experience when they’re part of a tribe.

We belong to a big muddy national family. There are 140 studios opening across the country this year, and 19 of those are on the North Coast Mud Trail. We make up more than 10 per cent of the national open studios, so we’re fortunate to have such a vibrant ceramic community here. There are still many more potters in our hills and towns who won’t be opening their studios, but they make a huge contribution to the community throughout the year as studio potters, artists, gallery owners, and as lecturers in ceramics at our TAFEs and universities. Besides coordinating the Mud Trail each year, the north coast community gets together for ceramic conferences, firings, workshops, exhibitions and retreats, and social media also play a huge role in keeping us connected with the world’s ceramic community.

What areas do you cover?

RICHARD JONES

RICHARD JONES’ CERAMICS FOR THE RAINFOREST T H E R E M AY B E N OT H I N G ‘C R E AT I V E ’ ABOUT POLITICS, BUT IN RETIREMENT GREENS MP RICHARD JONES HAS F O U N D H I S C R E AT I V E S I D E .

No longer pushing the Greens agenda at the political coalface, Jones is now a Possum Creek potter, engaging in his own alchemy, turning clay into beautiful works of art. This MP turned potter has a dream…this weekend he hopes to sell enough of his plates, bowls and cups at the Open Studio event to save one thousand acres of rainforest.

Still passionate about achieving environmental outcomes, Jones is hoping that his rainforest ceramics will help save one thousand acres of real rainforest. For some time now Richard has been donating part of the proceeds of the sales of his pottery to the Rainforest Trust which has already conserved millions of acres in Sumatra, South America, Africa and Australia.

The trail keeps growing, and this year you can find potters in their backyard studios, on the beach, or potting in dairy bails throughout the Ballina, Byron, Tweed and Lismore shires. There are open studios from Bagotville in the south to Nunderi near Murwillumbah in the north.

CLAIRE ATKINS How diverse is the work of the potters being visited?

Across the 19 studios visitors can meet emerging ceramic artists producing contemporary sculpture, to potters with more than 40 years’ experience throwing and slipcasting functional ware. Potters like to set things on fire too, and each artist approaches firing in a variety of ways.

Visitors can see work produced through reduction gas firing, oxidation firing, saggar firing, woodfiring, and there will be demonstrations in the dramatic and fiery spectacle that is raku firing!

What should people expect on the Mud Trail? How long does it take?

Do they get to make something?

With 19 studios to visit, I strongly suggest studying the event program so you can time your travel and not miss out on workshops and demonstrations. There’s so much to do. Visitors can make a pinch pot, have a go on the wheel, be part of a community arts project, create porcelain creatures, decorate a handmade bowl or plate, see wheel-throwing demonstrations, raku firings and listen to artist talks. And let’s be honest, it’s a great excuse to go and have stickybeak at an artist’s joint too! Event programs are available from local cafes, galleries and on our website!

Plan your weekend and download the event program at www. northcoastmudtrail.com.au, or pick up a mud map in galleries and cafes from Ballina to Murwillumbah. Follow The North Coast Mud Trail on Facebook. Entry to all studios is free.

Saturday and Sunday 10am–4pm. Enquiries: 0409 937 718 or 6684 9194. www.northcoastmudtrail.com.au, www.facebook.com/ NorthCoastMudTrail.

Richard has hundreds of ten dollar pieces as well as more expensive ones. He can be found at 56 Gittoes Lane from 10am to 4pm this weekend. Will his dream come true? We’ll know on Sunday night.

ART ON THE SEA TABLE LONE GOAT IN THE PAN Sea Table Art Trail is a marine conservation event being held around Brunswick Heads on Saturday August 20 from 11am till 3pm. Some of Byron Shire’s best artists are banding together to blitz the riverside picnic tables with ocean-themed murals that inspire people to help keep our oceans clean and protect what we love.

There will be live musicians doing busking sets scattered around the trail of picnic tables, as well as beach cleanups taking place, and a large communal plastic-free picnic sponsored by Santos that the community can take part in and also bring a plastic-free plate to contribute. This event is a great opportunity for the community to enjoy the showcase of artistic and musical talent, while also learning about the ocean and getting inspired to protect it.

CHECK IN TO THE PATRICK PEARSE HOTEL The play The Patrick Pearse Motel has all the elements of hilarious farce. The two-bedroom set is arranged to make the most of the farcical situations and sight gags, giving scope for complications and confusion and simultaneous action. This hysterical bedroom farce will have audiences wondering how it will all end.

The artworks in this year’s PAN (Practising Artists Network) exhibition represent each artist’s interpretation of the poem Byron Bay – Winter by renowned Australian poet Robert Gray. A broad range of materials and media are utilised in the exhibition, which reflects the creative diversity of the artists within PAN. Opening Friday at 6pm.

THE LEGEND OF BARNEY THOMSON

Barney Thomson (Robert Carlyle) has not been with a bird since Shakin’ Stevens was number one on the charts. At the Glasgow barbers salon where he is meant to cut hair, nobody will get in his chair because he is such a bad-tempered, abusive ‘piece of shite’. But is his miserable grey existence enough to turn him into a serial killer? Maybe yes, maybe no, as a chain of surreal events put Barney in the frame as the prime suspect in the investigation of unsolved murders that include ghastly body mutilations and amputations. Holdall (Ray Winstone), the Sassenach detective who is a fish out of water north of the border, is convinced that Barney is his man, but he can’t nail him, much to the chagrin of his tetchy superior, Inspector Robertson (Ashley Jensen). Barney doesn’t help his own cause by taking a number of ill-considered options when in a jam, and matters are further complicated for him when he resorts to seeking help from his mother Cemolina (Emma Thomson), who has indulged in some bizarre activities of her own. In his first gig as a feature-length director, Carlyle has come up with a comedy as dour and dark as only the Scots, you’d have to think, are capable of producing.

The dialogue is sometimes incomprehensible – subtitles will be essential if it is ever screened in America – but never to the point that you don’t understand what is going on. Best of all, the superb cast are clearly having the time of their lives. Carlyle is in his element as the angry little man who doesn’t get on with the world, Winstone playing the jaded, frustrated Cockney cop, does his usual shtick, and it is great to see Tom Courtenay as Superintendent McManaman.

But it’s Thomson who steals the show. Barely recognisable at first, her accent sounds perfect as Cemolina’s crudity is laid on with a trowel. Beaucoup de thanks to the Pighouse for providing this as an alternative to Suicide Squad – I loved it.

If you were to compile a textbook on how to write a screenplay by numbers, this boisterous frippery would be among the first entries.

It’s not bad, but if you don’t belong to the demographic at which it is aimed – ie put-upon, stressed, time-poor mothers – you might not get off on it as much as that target audience. It succeeded brilliantly with the ladies surrounding me (certainly it was better received than the very ordinary Ab Fab), so who am I to judge? Amy (Mila Kunis) is flat chat 24/7, working long underpaid hours while looking after her two kids (Oona Laurence is terrific as the bespectacled daughter who is shattered when omitted from the school soccer team) – not that her gorgeous looks are ever affected. She hits the wall when splitting up with her deadbeat husband and decides to put herself first for a change. Pursuing this radical lifestyle change, she finds allies in the tizzy Kikki (Christen Bell) and Carla (Kathryn Hahn), a hard-drinking broad with, of course, a heart of gold. There is a devilishly handsome and kind widower in the mix (California is obviously teeming with these eligible blokes, and they always seem to be raising a cute little girl)… What? You think he and Amy will get together?… The antagonist is Gwendolyn (Christina Applegate), a rich-bitch Nurse Ratchet type who is head of the PTA. The story follows its well-worn path as Amy challenges Gwendolyn’s presidency. The expletive-loaded humour is more or less Seth Rogen in skirts, including a discussion about penises that had my neighbours rolling in the aisles (what is it about knobs, anyway?). The movie stays afloat because, despite yourself, you really do want Amy to stick it up Gwendolyn, and you never doubt that it will happen. As a vehicle for the empowerment of women, it goes only so far – the sisters can do it for themselves, alright, but there is a nagging doubt that Amy’s more satisfying achievement will be to snare the widowed Mr Right.

ReTone – Byron Bay Industrial Estate

A beloved parent and friend of Brunswick Heads Public School, who strengthened all who knew her through her compassion and dedication to our community.

Coco instigated the powerful Deadly Dancing program that educates our Indigenous students with their local culture and creatively bridges ties between non-Indigenous & Indigenous families here at BHPS. Coco ZDV known as the ‘fun French swimming teacher’ by many of the local children. She made lessons in her pool enjoyable and easy which so many parents were extremely grateful for!

Her ingenuity knew no bounds, throwing herself 100% behind any initiative that took her heart. We see that legacy in her beautiful girls. We thank Coco for bringing much love and light and energy into our village school.

Loved always.

CHESS

by Ian Rogers The Baku Chess Olympiad is little more than a fortnight away, and despite a field of 180 countries, the Open Olympiad seems like a four-horse race.

In the absence of triple gold medallist Armenia, whose players felt that it would not be safe to travel to Azerbaijan – a country with which Armenia is at war – Russia, China, the USA and Azerbaijan itself are expected to occupy the top placings.

Russia, as usual, will be top seed, but not having won the Open Olympiad since 2002 and with Vladimir Kramnik under a health cloud, success is far from certain.

China, the defending Olympic champion, has strengthened its team by including the previously banned Li Chao, having sufficiently humiliated the rebellious top 20 player by forcing him to play for his old Beijing team for the next five years.

The USA now has Italy’s Fabiano Caruana – thanks to a million dollar deal – and Wesley So of the Philippines joining Hikaru Nakamura to create a top three all among the world’s top 10.

hangs over the US team’s reserve players – Ray Robson and Sam Shankland – leaving the possibility that Nakamura, Caruana, and So will be overworked and fade at the finish.

Azerbaijan recruited the disgruntled German GM Arkadij Naiditsch (as well as some world class trainers) and has placed him on board five in a well-funded effort to win a first Open Olympiad team medal on home ground.

Australia, with a three Grandmaster team, is seeded 45th, our highest starting rank for many years.

The Women’s Olympiad sees China in Russia’s position: top seed as usual but regularly the bridesmaid since their last team gold in 2004. Russia, seeded second, is looking for a fourth consecutive gold, having ‘stolen’ Katerina Lagno from the Ukraine.

Australia is ranked 52nd in the field of 139 with much hanging on the performance of Olympiad debutantes Heather Richards and Alex Jule. The two Queenslanders are featured in the latest issue of 50 Moves magazine, with strong views on the status of women’s chess in Australia.

Alan Atkins proved his pedigree when he won the over-65 National Surfing Championship in Coffs Harbour last week.

The surfing veteran has lived in Byron Bay for 20 years, and has another nine national tiltles to his name as well as 12 major placings.

There was a good shoulder-high swell running into Coffs for the heats, but it had started to fade for the finals last Thursday, he said.

In the big event Alan fell off a few waves after a good early ride, but he was able to pick up a bigger wave in the last minutes of the final to snatch victory.

‘You have to fight to the very end, unitl you hear the final siren. You just never know,’ he said.

Alan has been competing in the National Titles since 1979 and first paddled out as a 10–year–old in Lorne, Victoria, tiding a board close to 10 feet long.

For 20 years he was the chief executive for Surfing Australia. This kept him off the competitive circuit, but since retiring he has dived right back in.

‘It has been a great time to be invovled with surfing because the equipement is developing all the time. The design of the boards just keeps

on improving,’ he said.

Alan’s boards are designed and shaped by Brett Munro, who operates out of the Byron industrial estate.

Malibu Club winners Alan is a member of the Byron Bay Malibu Club and does most of his surfing at Wategos and The Pass.

Fellow club member Nigel Canterbury from Emerald Beach was crowned over– 40s Longboard Champion, while Jye Whyatt picked up an award for the Best Nose Ride, as well as winning the Junior National Logger Title.

Sunburnt surfers shock Bankers While a certain vicarious pleasure can be gained from cheering on our publicly funded elite athletes in Rio, back in Byron Shire the home-grown champs of the Shand Series live the full gamut of sporting emotions and go home with real grass stains on their pants.

On Sunday the doughty country folk of Left Bank, match hardened by constant clannish infighting in the hills west of Mullum, took on the freewheeling libertines of Suffolk Park, the sunburned Swingers.

The Bankers won the toss and asked the Swingers to bat with Lomath Oval a pretty picture but kind of fluffy and slow, just like a Kardashian.

The Bankers got the best of the early exchanges, fab Phil (2/7) and Simon (2/11) showing that time erodes power, but not necessarily skill. With the Swingers wobbling at 3/15 Owen (35no) showed everyone who was top dog, and warhorse Wortho (36no) latched onto the late overs like a shellback on a lymph node. Blake (2/6) did well but the talented Azza and grizzled veteran Brian hung around long enough to bunt and bash the total to a credible 151.

The Bankers’ batting lineup is as long as the virtual queue on the census website and Scruff (35no) and the inform Leon had them showing record profits early. Fearless Chi’s dipping donkeydrops copped some stick early but he broke the opening stand and then Wortho (2/15) and Scotty (2/12) started ripping chunks off the innings like sharks hitting a whale carcass. The Swingers started to

believe, Jossco, Rocket Rod and Jamie all claiming scalps as the feared Bankers’ batting dissolved like a disprin in a glass of Coke leaving the Swingers winners by 40 runs and the reigning champs wondering what hit them.

Next week, so long as the chronicler has read the hallucinogens menu correctly, the Geckos meet the Byron Full-Tossers to determine the makeup of the finals.

Bluedogs win 11–0 as they chase premiership The Bangalow Bluedogs’ Women’s Premier League team won its fourth straight minor premiership trophy over the weekend, and are looking the goods to win the grand final again for the fourth consecutive year.

The core of the team have been playing together now for a few years and have been able to nurture and develop juniors along the way. This has given the team continued success, manager Paul Hanigan said.

‘The club has a very strong junior base so mixing the young girls in with elite players such as Jade Bianchetti and Hollie Jarrett to provide the necessary mentoring has been pivotal to the team’s success.

‘Both Jade and Hollie have won major zone awards over their careers and will surely go down as some of the greatest players to compete in our zone,’ he said.

Over the weekend the team played two games. On Friday night they played away on a wet and greasy pitch beating Alstonville 4–2 and then backed up on Sunday afternoon overpowering Byron Bay 11–o.

In the Lismore game Hollie Jarrett and Maillagh Parker scored four goals and Laani Winkler-Harding, Miranda Sochacki and Kendell Brazendale all scored one each.

‘Byron Bay were playing with a depleted side due to injuries sustained during the game,’ Paul said.

The Bluedogs expect to play a home final before the grand final on September 11.

The biggest threat to Bangalow premiership hopes is the Lismore Thistles.

The season got off to a good start for Bluedogs, who won the Female Summer Youth League and Callan McMillan Shield, two pre-season competitions.

Magpies clinch a ‘nail-bitter’ It was a tough, hard-fought contest but the Byron Magpies AFL side clinched a nailbiting 8-point victory over a determined Ballina team on Saturday afternoon.

A crowd of more than 100 were treated to a ‘nail-biter’ and the game was a case of ‘winning ugly’, Magpies ruckman Michael Young said after his side notched up a tally of 9.7.61 to the Ballina Bombers’ 7.11.53.

At three-quarter time there were just three points in the game with the Magpies leading 7.5.47 to the Bombers 6.8.44.

The match had the true intensity of finals football with both clubs showing in-

tent, with heat in every contest right from the opening.

The game was largely a tense battle of the defences dominated proceedings.

‘The Bombers were impressive for much of the match and can consider themselves unlucky in not pulling off an upset,’ Young said.

But Byron was good enough to absorb the pressure and they found a winning edge after creating something special in the dying stages.

Goal scorers for Byron included: Kieran Atkin 3, Will McBride 3, Zeke Hower 1, Brett Porter 1, Dave Smith 1. For the Bombers S Thorsen and T Mclean kicked

two goals while J Leeds, R Walton and R Fajerman got one each.

The result means the Magpies are the first side through to the 2016 AFL Northern Rivers Grand Final to be played at Cavanbah Sports Centre on Saturday 27 August.

In the other preliminary final played on the weeknd the Tweed Tigers (16.13.109) overpowerd the Lismore Swans (4.10.34).

The Ballina Bombers get a second chance to make the Grand Final when they take on Tweed Coast at Fripp Oval, Ballina, in the preliminary final on Saturday afternoon.

Wyte wins Champ round at Teven

Horseback gymnastics Four horse-vaulting clubs competed at the Byron Bay Equestrian Centre on Sunday as part of their preparation for upcoming state titles.

Best described as ‘gymnastics and dancing on horseback’, the origins of vaulting can be traced to the ancient Roman games, where acrobats displayed their skills

on cantering horses.

Byron Bay team members Maleka Mitchell and Gabrielle Orrock (pictured) used the event as a chance to master their skills ahead of the the NSW State Championships coming up this weekend at Mount Hunter.

‘We were so excited to be hosting this event, with such a high calibre of competitors,’

46 August 17, 2016 The Byron Shire Echo

Tesse Ferguson, manager of Byron Bay Equestrian Centre, said.

‘We know our audience will be in awe at the skill of these competitors and the beauty and grace of the horses they perform on.’

Clubs attending included Fassifern, Ella Springs and the Kingfisher Vaulters.

Bill Wyte won the Men’s Division Stroke competition held last Saturday morning at Teven Golf Club.
