No relief from holiday-lets

Searching for solutions to homelessness

Aslsn Shand

Byron Shire councillor Michael Lyon expressed disappointment that pleas made directly to the NSW premier during her recent visit for a special exemption for Byron Shire from the state’s Short Term Holiday Letting (STHL) laws have fallen on deaf ears.

‘We were hopeful following those meetings that we had been heard and that our ratio of tourists to visitors, unique in the world in terms of impact, would see us treated as a special case,’ he said.

The state government’s new regulations will see hosts able to rent out their accommodation, outside of Greater Sydney, for up to 365 days per year. Local councils have eight weeks to lodge an EOI to allow them to limit letting or they will be subjected to STHL for the whole year.

Councils will have to allow at least 180 days’ letting.

‘Local councils should be able to regulate holiday letting and preserve residential communities,’ says Greens MP Tamara Smith.

‘Residential amenity is the bedrock of the very notion of community and unfettered holiday letting is its antithesis.

‘The revolving door of corporate donations to the LibNats has sadly trumped our community’s right to stay liveable and residential.’

Nationals MLC Ben Franklin told The Echo that he’s raised concerns in parliament over the impact of STHL in Byron and says he ‘will continue discussions with the relevant ministers over the coming weeks.’

Frustration as West Byron decision deferred Chris Dobney

The Northern Joint Regional Planning Panel (JRPP) has deferred a decision on the controversial ‘local’ development application for West Byron, potentially leaving the matter to be decided by the Land and Environment Court.

JRPP chair and former National Party planning minister Garry West cited the lateness of hundreds of pages of changes from the developers, saying it left insufficient time for

Byron Shire Council and the Rural Fire Service (RFS) to make their assessments.

‘The applicant [also] made an application to vary the development standards – and that hasn’t been assessed by the Council, which is also a restriction,’ he added.

Mr West said that had the panel made a ruling it would have been ‘open to challenge in the courts’.

Hours of speeches At least 19 people took the op-

portunity to speak and more than 100 packed the gallery of the Byron Shire Council Chambers on Monday afternoon (October 8) hoping this would be the end of the line for the much-maligned development.

Comments mirrored many of the previous concerns expressed at the JRPP’s ‘information meeting’ in June.

These included: the inappropriate scale of the development; the incursion into environmental zones; the impact on the Wallum Froglet and the koala at the site; the hun-

dreds of thousands of tonnes of fill required; the likely flooding of surrounding properties in even moderate rainfall; and the impact on Ewingsdale Road of a six-metre sound barrier and some 14,000 additional daily car movements.

Deeply frustrated But, after almost three hours of speeches, Mr West told the meeting he believed a decision would have to be deferred, admitting, ‘we are all continued on page 5

North Coast news daily:

Meanwhile at the IPCC...

Eve Jeffery

While Australians were thoroughly distracted by Gladys’s Opera House racing debacle, news that last Saturday in Incheon, Republic of Korea, the Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5ºC was approved by the IPCC faded into the background.

‘The IP what?’ you say.

That’s exactly the way the Australian government likes it.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is the UN body for assessing the science related to climate change. It was established to provide policymakers with regular scientific assessments concerning climate change, its implications and potential future risks; and to put forward adaptation and mitigation strategies.

In response to the report, North East Forest Alliance (NEFA) is renewing its call for a rapid phase-out of logging of public native forests.

They say this will allow the forests to take up the everincreasing volumes of atmospheric carbon as they recover from past logging.

world’s established and regrowing forests would remove half of fossil-fuel emissions.’

Pugh says that stopping logging of public native forests will allow the recovering forests to take up and store huge volumes of atmospheric carbon as they age.

‘This will help buy us time while we reduce emissions from other sectors.’

Logging is not the only factor highlighted by the IPCC, who have also pointed out the need to stop using coal and fossil fuels.

Our government’s persistent romance with the coal and unconventional-gas industries is both obscene and lacking any future vision.

Between Adani, Shenhua in Breeza and The Narrabri Project in the Pilliga, we are facing a not-so-slow walk into the gloom.

‘We are facing a climate emergency,’ says Pugh. ‘To address the climate chaos we need to quickly move to obtaining our energy from non-polluting sources, while restoring the ability of our forests to takeup and store increasing volumes of carbon.’

The IPCC report identifies that human emissions have already increased global temperatures by one degree, and that at current rates temperature rises are set to reach 1.5 degrees by as early as 2030.

To limit global warming to 1.5 degrees the IPCC has said that net carbon emissions must be cut by 45 per cent by 2030 and reduced to zero by 2050.

NEFA spokesperson Dailan Pugh says that forests are the lungs of the earth. ‘They take in our carbon dioxide, storing the carbon and giving us back oxygen; left standing they are part of the solution to climate change.

‘The reality is that logging has run down the carbon storage in vast tracts of NSW’s forest by 40–60 per cent. As logging intensity increases the carbon stored in the trees and soil, along with the forest’s structure and biodiversity, is further diminished.

‘It has been estimated that globally wooded areas soak up a third of the fossil fuels released into the atmosphere each year. If we were to stop deforestation tomorrow the

Drink-driving, knives and cigarette thefts keep local police busy Six times over limit A woman will face court charged with high-range drink-driving after a driving into a light pole while six times over the legal limit in Byron Bay on Sunday afternoon (October 7).

About 1.40pm, emergency services were called to a carpark on Jonson Street, Byron Bay, after reports a Toyota Corolla struck a light pole.

The driver and sole-occupant, a 45-year-old woman, escaped uninjured.

Officers from Tweed/Byron Police District conducted a roadside breath test, which returned a positive result.

She was taken to Byron Bay Police Station where she allegedly returned a breath analysis reading of 0.333.

The woman, from Clunes,

was charged with high-range PCA and granted conditional bail to appear at Byron Bay Local Court on October 25.

Her licence was suspended.

Man arrested after wielding knife in Byron Bay pub Police were called to a Byron Bay pub on Friday (October 5) after a man allegedly threatened patrons with a knife.

They found a 28-year-old Byron Bay man nearby in Jonson Street, vomiting on a wall.

Police searched the man, allegedly finding a pocket knife and cannabis on him.

He was charged with custody of a knife and possess prohibited drug.

The man was bailed to ap-

pear before Byron Bay Local Court on October 25.

Alleged OS cigarette thief nabbed On Thursday October 4 police raided a house in Ocean Shores, seizing a quantity of cigarettes they valued at $3,912.

The smokes were allegedly stolen from a bottleshop in the town during a break and enter on August 11.

Police also allegedly found cannabis during the search.

A 21-year-old Ocean Shores man was arrested and taken to Byron Bay Police Station, where he was charged with break enter and steal and possessing a prohibited drug.

He was refused bail to appear before Mullumbimby Local Court on October 22.

Do you have an eating disorder?

The impact of an eating disorder can have lifelong effects on both the physical and psychological wellbeing of a sufferer regardless of gender.

Recognising this, local woman Bianca Hill is holding a support meeting for people who are struggling with an eating disorder or poor body image.

‘This area of the health industry is not serviced in our local Shire and there are so many people out there who are greatly in need of a support network,’ said Bianca.

Bianca recognises that many people can’t turn to clinical professionals for a range of reasons, from fear of stepping into the unknown, recognising they need help, judgment, unawareness of the severity of their illness or

feel they haven’t received the right support in their recovery either prior to, in, or post hospitalisation.

‘I have been battling anorexia for years and since coming out of hospital and fighting in recovery from March this year it has been my mission to help other people going through the same struggles,’ says Bianca.

‘I don’t want to see anybody else nearly lose their life to such a horrible illness. It is an illness that completely ruins your life and a battle that leaves you mentally and physically exhausted each and every day.

‘For me, and many other people in recovery, the only feeling of support and encouragement that’s helpful

and feels as if people understand and relate to is with somebody who has been through or is going through the same battle.’

The meeting will be held at Future Dreamers on Marvell Street in Byron Bay from 6pm on Monday October 15 and will create an opportunity for support and ways to cope with the illness. They are hoping that this will become a regular monthly meeting.

‘I know there are women and men out there suffering both from eating disorders and poor body image concerns and I want to help people through this,’ says Bianca.

If you would like to find out more or attend the meeting contact Bianca on 0422 968 969.

Upcycling to solve homlesness Aslan Shand

Upcycling is being taken to new heights by local selfconfessed, tinkerer, recycler and upcycler Deidi Vine, who is currently building a prototype shelter shack that she hopes will be used to shelter the homeless.

‘I have been making cubbies and playhouses since I was a child. When I had my own children I would often make massive playhouses for them... so it’s no surprise that when I became a grandmother I was inspired to make my gorgeous grandson Cedar one,’ said Deidi.

The cubbyhouse was so popular she just kept on making them for family and friends and finally made an adult shack.

The cubbyhouses and shelter shack are all made out of recycled and upcycled materials that come from plywood pallets used to transport solar panels, broken furniture and secondhand paint.

‘One of the many things I love about about the structures is that they are so easy to take apart and put back together.

It literally takes me less than three hours to take one apart

and put it back up – which I think is brilliant,’ said Deidi.

‘The cost is minimal and I try very hard to use items that have been discarded.’

One Roof Deidi recently donated one of her cubby houses to the One Roof Byron charity, which is helping tackle homelessness in the Shire, for their raffle.

‘We were thrilled and so grateful to Deidi for her donation,’ said One Roof member Genevieve Lee. ‘She has also attended our Tiny House design meeting run by Christopher Kinzel and has put up her hand to be part of our Tiny House construction team.’

Deidi is also looking at ways to close the gap in the Shire’s recycling program.

‘There is no repairing, reupholstering and upcycling on a large scale in the Shire.

I would love to see a huge roofed area provided where locals could start donating their unwanted building materials and household items that can be saved from landfill and repaired or upcycled.’

You can contact Deidi via her Facebook page Upcycling solutions.

Tired of us talking about dead koalas?

So are we, but no matter how many times we bring it up, it doesn’t seem to make a difference to the death toll.

Another healthy earthling was found dead at Bangalow, a casualty in the gravel beside the road.

President of the Bangalow Koalas group Linda Sparrow says that early last Friday she got yet another call from a

member of the public regarding a dead adult male koala on Hinterland Way heading south just past the overpass near the Bangalow exit.

‘This is the fifth dead koala in Bangalow this year by car strike that I know of,’ said Ms Sparrow. ‘This section is notorious with four of the five koalas found in a triangle of less then 250 metres – Granu-

aille Rd/Hinterland Way. ‘I’m calling it the “Bermuda Triangle” as so many koalas are disappearing from here.’

Linda says the person who called it in was driving along this section on Tuesday night at 9.15pm when she saw a white Prado car pulled over with hazard lights on right at the spot where the koala was found.

‘It is devastating again to lose another healthy koala.

All we can do is keep on telling people to slow down in koala areas.

Sparrow says that Hinterland Way in Bangalow is a bad koala kill hot spot and her group will do their utmost to ensure there is no increase in traffic on this section of the koala corridor.

Celebrating lesbian breasts in Bruns Getting screened for breast cancer if you are 40 or over can be done easily and for free with the mobile breast screening unit that is visiting Byron Shire during October.

Breast screening is an important health check for all women with nine out of ten women who are diagnosed having no family history of breast cancer. However, one of the groups who are consistently under screeining for breast cancer is the lesbian community.

‘As a result, women in this community are at a greater risk of not having an unfortunately common form of cancer detected and treated,’ said a spokesperson for ACON.

Mini-festival So while all women 40 and over can head to the Brunswick Valley Community Centre in Brunswick Heads for a breast screening between October 10 and 15, ACON is encouraging lesbians to come along on October 13 to get a breast screen and celebrate their community.

‘We are holding a mini-

festival at the at the Brunswick Heads Community Centre to provide an opportunity for LGBTI women in the northern rivers to come together, celebrate their community and have fun, all while raising breast cancer awareness,’ said the ACON spokesperson.

‘There will be food, workshops, craft activities, lucky door prizes, live music, stalls, performances, dancing and more. We hope this will be the largest LGBTI women’s community event we have seen in this area for a while.’

Breast screening sessions for all Breast screening will be taking place next to the Byron Bay Library between October 16 and November 6.

Screening will be available at the Brunswick Valley Community Centre in Brunswick Heads between October 10 and 15. You can book a free screening by calling 13 20 50.

A screening only takes 20 minutes and no referral is necessary.

West Byron decision deferred continued from page 1 deeply frustrated but that is the only way forward’.

After some discussion, the panel, consisting of former bureaucrats Stephen Gow and John Griffin and neighbouring councillors Katie Milne (Tweed) and Vanessa Ekins (Lismore), reluctantly agreed.

Jeers erupted from the gallery, with residents shouting that that the entire process was a ‘disgrace’ a ‘farce’ and ‘a travesty of justice’.

One community member shouted that the introduction of late information, which many speakers argued contained no new facts, was ‘a typical ruse by developers to shut down community opposition’.

Panel member Katie Milne echoed the community’s frustration, at one point telling the meeting, ‘On the site visit we questioned whether we would be able to make a refusal today or not.’

‘I don’t think the new information provided makes any difference.

‘Unfortunately, we have to [go through] proper process or we leave the community more in jeopardy than otherwise.

‘I hear your frustration – we’re all hearing the same.

The late submission of information has been very difficult for all of us,’ Cr Milne said.

Deemed refusal Meanwhile the developers, including well-known Byron Bay business identity Warren Simmons, have already taken Byron Shire Council to court for its ‘deemed refusal’ of their application even before the JRPP had the opportunity to consider it.

A mediation session is scheduled for February 12 next year and, if Council and RFS staff have not completed their assessments by then, the matter will be taken over by the court.

And, while that may still seem quite some time away, the second West Byron DA from Tower Holdings and Villaworld is due to land on planners’ desks in coming weeks.

‘If we get to February 12, the role of the panel submerges into the court,’ Mr West told The Echo after the meeting.

He added court-appointed conciliators could bring in outside experts to come up

with solutions in the event Council and the proponents couldn’t agree.

‘If that fails… the court will take over the whole thing.

The court has very wide powers,’ he said.

Court action defended Stuart Murray, speaking on behalf of the developers, said they would be satisfied to see the matter deferred.

He was questioned by the panel as to why the landholders were suing the Council for deemed refusal before the JRPP had even met.

He replied that the proponents had taken the action because there was a ‘lapsing period’.

‘If we didn’t meet the deadline for lodging a deemed refusal, we might have to go through whole process again – so it was taken on advice of solicitors,’ Mr Murray said.

He was asked by Cr Milne, ‘if this was deferred and Council was able to keep working with you, would the court appeal be withdrawn?’

He replied only that he would ‘have to consult with the landholders’.

know that when young people feel connected and valued they are less likely to behave in negative ways.’

A Byron Bay man has been found guilty of assaulting his neighbour with a piece of wood after the two men clashed over the location of their shared boundary.

Bazil Manousis was found guilty of assault occasioning actual bodily harm by magistrate Geoffrey Dunlevy on September 28 after a hearing in Byron Bay local court.

During the course of the hearing the court was told that there had been a degree of animosity between Mr Manousis and his neighbour, Derek Harbison, for some time.

This animosity stemmed, in part, from a dispute between the two men over the exact location of the boundary

between the two properties.

The court heard that on April 19 this year Mr Harbison was cutting back some palm plants that he felt were impinging on this property when he was approached by Mr Manousis. Mr Manousis told Mr Harbison to stop but he refused.

The pair argued heatedly and then Mr Manousis struck Mr Harbison with a piece of wood which, the court heard, may have been a fence paling.

The court heard that Mr Harbison suffered a minor head injury, possible minor concussion, and a soft-tissue injury to his neck as a result of the blow.

The incident was wit-

nessed by a neighbour whose evidence the magistrate accepted, despite the defence’s claim that she was unreliable.

Defence Mr Manousis gave evidence that he did not strike his neighbour but simply gave him a two-handed push to the chest after the man approached him with the garden shears.

He said that he had done this in self-defence, and that Mr Harbison must have struck his head on a rock when he hit the ground after being pushed.

However, the police prosecutor, Nathan Lockett, said: ‘The defendant’s version, in

our submission, makes very little sense.’

‘She [the neighbour] described the accused taking a plank of wood and striking the complainant. She then saw the accused going behind the house and then coming back without the piece of wood.’

‘She had no reason to construct her evidence and in my submission, your honour would accept it.’

Magistrate Dunlevy did so, finding that Mr Manousis had not acted in self-defence and was guilty of assault occasioning actual bodily harm.

Mr Manousis will return to Byron Bay local court on November 15 for sentencing.

The Byron Shire First Offenders’ Program is diversionary and aims to keep young people out of the juvenile justice system and detention.

A 4-step approach to working with young offenders will be used. This includes early intervention in schools, community ‘pop-up’ support systems during festivals and at popular ‘hangout’ spots, case management and restorative circles.

‘It will also target firsttime offenders who have committed drug and alcohol offences, disorderly conduct, non-domestic violence-related assault or intimidation, stalking and harassment,’ said Nationals parliamentary secretary for northern NSW Ben Franklin.

Bullying is something most people can relate to, having either experienced it themselves or seen others subjected to it at school, in the workplace and in day-to-day life.

Local Mullumbimby actor Saya Minami is featuring in the film Rock Sugar. She plays the mother of a young Asian girl called Charlotte who has been experiencing bullying at the hands of the school bully Brenda.

The dark psychological thriller, for adults, explores the issue of bullying that 12-yearold Charlotte experiences.

When Brenda attacks her in a park late one night Charlotte fights back with all her might and pushes Brenda to the ground.

‘The bully falls, hits her head, and stops moving completely. Charlotte is suddenly

in crisis mode – she must now hide the body, or face the consequences of her action,’ says writer, director and producer Angela How. It is a theme that Angela personally relates to as she was born in Singapore but grew up partly in Australia.

‘As a child I was bullied. So I know firsthand the effects of bullying, and how they are felt into adulthood,’ said Angela.

‘I have, however, had enough time to consider this issue, and to use it as a story point to begin exploring the reasons and consequences of bullying in both Australian culture and globally’.

Reflecting on her role in the film, local actor Saya recognises that ‘bullying is a very complicated subject as there are many different types of bullying.’

‘Sometimes people are not even aware of their actions or attitudes or that they are participating in bullying. Even if they are aware of it, sometimes it’s easier for them to follow what others are doing and not stand up for someone who needs help.

‘The main character of this story is a child but I think there is bullying by adults and even in public. I think it’s important to have the morals to respect each other’s individuality.’

Rock Sugar is currently in post-production and has recently launched a crowdfunding campaign, with the aim of raising $15,000 to finish the film and have it ready for distribution at festivals.

Holiday letters to be fined Chris Dobney

Byron Shire Council has announced it will start fining owners of unauthorised holiday-lets, with a particular focus on people who are renting out a secondary dwelling.

The announcement comes amid news that nearly 20 per cent of homes in Byron Shire are now being holiday let, squeezing out all but the most affluent renters.

First in Council’s sights will be people who have benefited from a decision it took in 2011 to drop development contributions on secondary dwellings and granny flats in a bid to increase affordable housing.

These people’s DAs specifically preclude them from using their secondary accommodation for short-term holiday rental.

Byron mayor Simon Richardson said that owing to the Shire’s popularity as a tourist destination ‘many people now see short-term holiday letting as their opportunity to make money on their property from tourism and in some cases this can come at a cost to the community’.

Some 17.6 percent of the total housing stock in Byron Shire is listed as online holiday-let compared to a national average of 0.2 per cent and a greater Sydney metropolitan rate of 1.7 per cent

‘Holiday letting in Byron Shire has exploded in recent years and this is resulting in significant adverse impacts on our community.

‘Council recently resolved that it would take enforcement action on people who are using secondary dwellings on their properties for a purpose, such as tourism, which is outside their development consent.

‘If the owner of the property does not have Council approval for a secondary dwelling to be used for tour-

ism purposes the owner will be issued with a fine, which is $3,000 for an individual and $6,000 for a company.

‘Given the current estimate of short-term holidaylet properties online is some 2,900, and increasing, something needs to be done to protect our community’s right to residential areas that are filled with neighbours not tourists,’ Mayor Richardson said.

He added that while the NSW Government is proposing to review the effectiveness of its new short-term holiday-

APPOINTMENTS

let policy in 12 months, ‘I fear, that because of the sheer size and scale of holiday letting in our Shire, it may be too late in 12 months’ time to protect our community’s heart and character.

Byron Shire Council is continuing to lobby the NSW Government for a deferral from the new state-wide planning policy.

Vale Christopher Lacaze 21.4.1954 to 15.9.2018 Paul Spooner

Chris Lacaze was a rolling stone and a rough sleeper. He was the small guy who rolled his wheelchair around the streets of Byron Bay up until his death on September 15.

Chris was 64 years of age and a good bloke.

I first meet Chris at Byron Community Centre where he would come to access the disabled facilities. He always had a smile and a good word I’d often see Chris setting up a makeshift bedroll in the doorway of the local Vinnies store, a place where he felt safe enough to lay his head.

The last time I spoke to Chris he bade me a good night and I replied to him to enjoy the bright evening glow of the moon on Marvell Street.

More than once I thought about the lack of accommodation options for Chris but knew that none really existed for him in this worldrenowned tourist town – a town where there are more

holiday-letting houses listed than you can poke a stick at.

On August 7/8 this year Chris was one of 145 people sleeping rough, counted by volunteers for the Snapshot of People Sleeping Rough in the Byron Shire.

People were sleeping in improvised tents, cars, or with no shelter at all. They were found in parks, bus stops, shopfronts, on footpaths and in bushland.

The rate of homelessness in the Byron Shire is twice the national average while the rate of rough sleepers (measured as a percentage of the homeless) stands at six times the national figure.

What should we be doing about this? Open emergency shelter and accommodation options in the Byron Shire; fund health, addiction, mental health and employment services; establish a local support centre for rough sleepers; and employ public-space liaison officers to ensure community health and safety.

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

What actions can you take to make this happen? Contact local candidates wanting to be elected to state and federal parliament; talk to a Byron Shire councillor; and donate to existing support programs via the Byron Community Centre or the Mullumbimby Neighbourhood Centre A memorial was held for Chris at the Homeless

Breakfast. People stood in a circle on the Fletcher Street footpath at the back of the Byron Community Centre and spoke about how they knew Chris and the beautiful qualities he possessed. They remembered how he had touched their lives and all the things he had taught them about enjoying life in the face of numerous difficulties.

Burning questions: ‘the environment’ includes human lives urgent and important questions: Who benefits from this development, and where is the social justice – for them, and for First Peoples everywhere?

Our Power In 2014, one of three brown-coal mines in the Latrobe Valley caught fire. The Hazelwood open-cut mine became ‘a volcano’, with metres-deep layers of earth burning across many hundreds of hectares – a ‘pit of hell’, its severity beyond most people’s comprehension.

Country is an equal character in this film. The Kimberley’s striking colours, unique landforms and wildlife are both spectacularly cinematic and the ideal context for the dramatic struggle taking place.

Mine management assured the people in the nearby town of Morwell that the fire would be under control in two weeks. But it burned for 45 days, shrouding the townspeople in thick smoke laden with particulates, causing symptoms of suffocation and leading to a spike in the death rate.

The Silver Branch Tradition is under threat in Ireland, too, as revealed in the documentary The Silver Branch. Farmer Patrick McCormack consults nature whenever life gets difficult, and finds solace in letting it ‘work on him’. To be part of nature, to join in the singing of the silver branch, is the wise choice, he believes.

It’s a profoundly shocking story, its full horror perhaps unappreciated by the majority of Australians.

Clockwise from top: Our Power, Woman at War, The Silver Branch and Undermined – Tales from the Kimberley.

The people of Morwell are not wealthy. They had to stay in their homes and the consequences will continue for decades.

The Latrobe Valley has a 90-year history of

It was the beginning of what director Peter Yacono describes as an ‘alternative narrative starting to stir in the Valley’.

‘The fire has been the spark in the community… the community is looking for justice

Through this film he successfully ‘activated’ his conservative parents into a more thoughtful and progressive way of thinking/living, he says.

‘It’s the most rewarding and proudest work that I’ve done in my life.’

Yacono packs a lot into his under-an-hour film, and the ramifications of its message extend way beyond that small corner of Victoria into the national and even international arena: the future of coal, and the consequences of what happens when corporations put profits before people.

Undermined – Tales from the Kimberley Community – and the assaults upon it from the corporate world – is the theme of another hard-hitting documentary at the festival, Undermined – Tales from the Kimberley, which also has significance beyond its regional setting.

Award-winning director Nicholas Wrathall (Gore Vidal: The United States of Amnesia), investigates the true costs of development in the vast and unspoiled Kimberley, whose environment and Indigenous communities are threatened by mining, pastoralism, and irrigated agriculture.

Branded ‘the future economic powerhouse of Australia’, the Kimberley region covers 420,000 km2 and is recognised as one of the world’s most ecologically diverse areas, with one of the last pristine coastlines left on Earth.

It is also home to the highest percentage of Aboriginal people living on country in Australia, from 34 different language groups.

They have lived there for millennia, but as pressure from industry exposes the limits of Indigenous land rights, what will remain of their more than 200 remote communities?

The film invites the traditional owners to pose

Woman at War An individual’s passionate desire to protect the environment provides the springboard for one of the festival’s highlight dramas – Woman at War. Halla is a respectable middle-aged Icelandic woman, a choir leader and tai-chi practitioner – and a secret militant environmentalist.

She puts herself at great risk in her crosscountry sabotage sorties to halt the power supply to the aluminium plant near her hometown – actions that quickly draw the attention of goons in black uniforms, and helicopters, looking for the ‘terrorist’.

It’s a film that is full of suspense, and searching questions, such as when does activism become extremism? But it never wanders from the intimately human. Halla has a twin, as inward-looking and ‘spiritual’ as she is engaged and practical. And she has a friend and ally in the ministry, who begs her, weeping, to stop.

Just as she’s planning another operation, she learns her age-old application to adopt a child from Ukraine has been accepted. Will she abandon her role as saboteur and saviour of the Highlands? Or carry out one final attack?

There is a surreal element to the story, with a trio of lugubrious musicians popping up here and there, sound-tracking the action and guiding Halla’s movements; and a troika of Ukraine singers providing an alternative cultural context – like a Greek chorus.

There’s also plenty of humour and tenderness in the film, which Variety magazine described as that rare thing, ‘an intelligent feelgood film that knows how to tackle urgent global issues with humour as well as a satisfying sense of justice’ and ‘a near-perfect follow-up’

Local News Writing for wellbeing gets recognition Bangalow supports drought stricken farmers

Aslan Shand

Sometimes all it takes is a hunch coupled with a good bit of work to create something successful. That is certainly the case for former local journalist Stephanie Dale who has been working with people in rural and remote Australia encouraging them to write.

‘A tremendous number of people long to write. And just about everyone needs support, encouragement and guidance to start,’ said Stephanie.

‘Five years ago I was a middle-aged woman in a dying industry – journalism – and I needed work, so I decided to take my skills west and see if people in isolated areas wanted a hand with writing and communications.

It turns out they do!’

Stephanie started The Write Road initiative fourand-a-half years ago and runs workshops that range from two hours to three-day events.

The project has encouraged farmers, health professionals, bartenders, police, youth, stock workers and others in rural and remote communities to explore their stories.

Stephanie Dale has been running The Write Road program in remote and regional Australia for over four years.

‘The big surprise for me was stumbling into the field of “writing for wellbeing”,’ Stephanie explained.

‘A community leader in the Far West asked me if I could run a journaling workshop. I thought “really?” and said “yes”.

‘We take an available resource (literacy) and accessible tools (pen and paper) to build resilience and promote good health during stressful times.

‘Just about everyone wants to write – a story, a novel, family and community histories, letters – and just about everyone needs guidance, encouragement and support to start.

‘Even though I help people get started on their books or

other writing projects, “writing for wellbeing” is the foundation stone of my work. It turns out, unsurprisingly, that writing is good for us – mentally, emotionally and even physically,’ said Stephanie.

Recognition In recognition of its success The Write Road project has been named one of three finalists in the NSW Regional Achievement & Community Awards for the connecting communities section.

‘This is recognition for all those brave new writers in the west who found the courage to begin their books,’ said Stephanie.

‘It is incredibly gratifying and it’s a recognition for writing as medicine.’

Fix your solar rebate with SAE Group

THE cost of installing a solar system has not changed in recent months, what has changed is the STC rebate, the up-front incentive the government is currently offering homeowners and small businesses to take up solar. If you’ve been following this, you may have noticed there has recently been a drop in the STC certificate commodity value from a year-round steady $38.00 to $30.50 at the time of going to print. The fluidity of the STC price means that the cost of your solar system can move right up until the day of installation. This uncertainty can make it hard for you to decide on whether to make the switch to solar. SAE Group have locked our STC price at $32.00 ensuring we can offer you a competitively priced solar system with the peace of mind.

SAE Group have yet another compelling offer that will make the switch to powering your home with smarter, cleaner energy easy for you. This high quality 5.5kW solar bundle comprises of the 5kW Fronius smart energy inverter, and 20 x 275-watt Seraphim panels for $5652.00.

This 5.5kW system will generate an average of 23kW of power each day, based on the Clean Energy Council’s recommendation of the average hours of 4.2 hours. That’s enough to power a standard four-bedroom home, making this system ideal to drastically reduce your power bills. Let’s take a closer look at what you could save…

Let’s say you self-consume 50% of the electricity you generate free from the sun. Based on the average output, that’s 11.5 kW each day. Applying today’s average electricity tariff of 28c/kW, you stand to make a saving of $3.22 each day. That might not seem much but over the course of a year that’s a massive $1,175.00 back in your pocket.

That still leaves the remaining 50% of your solar production that you can export back to the grid. Right now, the average solar feed in tariff sits anywhere from 8 cents to 15 cents per kW, depending on your electricity retailer. Let’s base our calculations somewhere in the middle… if you are exporting the remaining 50% at 12 cents per kW, that’s another saving of $1.38 cents per day, or a further $503.00 a year you’ll save in electricity costs. That’s a whopping total of $1678.00 per year in savings.

Look to the price advertised on the right and you’ll see it’s possible to recoup the cost of a 5.5 kW solar system in under four years, and you’ve still got years of solar savings ahead of you. So why put off until tomorrow what you can start saving today.

SAE Group are a Clean Energy Council Approved Solar Retailer, who are committed to raising the bar in the solar industry. The team at SAE Group are Master Electricians first and foremost, so you can also rest easy knowing you’re dealing with highly experienced, qualified staff. From consultation, to quality installation, and after sales service, they are with you the whole way, and offer a 12-year workmanship warranty with every installation.

If you’re interested in securing your energy future, or looking for a solution that will protect you from crippling electricity prices, call SAE Group on 1300 18 20 50 or jump on their website www.saegroup.com.au to take advantage of this offer before it runs out.

Local News Rebirthing the North Coast Women’s Festival? Shearwater Wearable Arts set for 2018 show In the late 90s and early noughties The North Coast Women’s Festival was held annually for six years, encouraging women to participate in community through cultural and artistic events.

‘With the coming together of women, challenges were understood and bonds strengthened to nourish and inspire healing of ourselves

and others,’ said Ayla Garlick, one of the original organisers.

‘The festivals had a direct effect on people’s lives, enhancing self-empowerment.’

Features of the festival included women’s performances, a writers cafe, Feminenergy Art Exhibition, dance night, Women’s Film Festival, Women’s Health panels and more.

‘Like Persephone, the fes-

tival has been hibernating and gathering energy to be reborn,’ said Ayla.

‘We are inviting women to support the feminine though her diverse needs, empower her through our dreaming and celebrate her through our diversity.’

If you’re interested in getting involved in running the festival or have a woman-fo-

cused group that would like to participate, send a one-page submission to northcoastwomensfestival@gmail.com.

‘We are looking for expressions of interest from women with fresh ideas and enthusiasm who are willing to carry the vision forward,’ said Ayla.

A highlight of the school’s

performing arts calendar, the show features around 200 students taking on roles as musicians, actors, writers, filmmakers and editors, lighting and audio technicians, carpenters, dancers, singers, tailors, artists, set and prop designers and makers, choreographers, photographers, graphic designers, stage hands, models, judges, ushers, and caterers.

Bruns woodchop gets mobile Eve Jeffery

It wouldn’t be the the first Saturday of the month without the Community Markets in Bruns and it wouldn’t be the market without the the Brunswick Valley Woodchop and Entertainment Committee.

The committee run the market at Memorial Park as well as the famous annual Festival of Fish ’n’ Chips and Woodchop Carnival. They recently unveiled their new mobile office, purchased and fitted out with a $15,000 grant from the Community Building Partnership program.

Greens member for Ballina Tamara Smith, who made the funding announcement, said the onsite office can now be used at all the committee’s community events.

‘The markets are very

popular with Brunswick residents and with visitors.

Brunswick Valley Woodchop also host the Festival Fish ’n’ Chips each year, which features twilight markets and a fireworks display,’ she said.

Ms Smith says the mobile office will come in very handy as a base for volunteers and as a focal point for the public to come and get information.

‘It’s great to see Community Building Partnership funding supporting a wonderful not-for-profit organisation to organise such great family and community occasions in Brunswick Heads that also help bring in tourists to boost the regional economy.

Brunswick Heads Markets are run from 7am till 2pm.

ScoMo’s radical tax cut to tampons

Volume 33 #18

October 10, 2018

Beyond tourism The tourism dollar is being touted as the big future winner for NSW, with a major government push towards more rural and regional tourism.

For Byron Shire, however, the push needs to be accompanied by help from state government, because we are already overwhelmed by the influx.

Currently Byron Bay is the second-most popular tourist destination outside Sydney in NSW. And while it still has lovely beaches and a beautiful hinterland it is losing its sense of identity to the tourist dollar.

By the tourist dollar I don’t just mean those dollars being brought in and spent but also the businesses that wish to dive into that perceived river of gold.

Relying on the tourist market as your main economic driver is not sustainable. Many locals now avoid Byron Bay in summer owing to traffic congestion on Ewingsdale Road combined with the heaving streets and beaches filled with tourists.

As more people try to find an authentic holiday experience, Brunswick Heads and Mullumbimby are also beginning to feel the pressure.

Other impacts include the loss of affordable housing as online platforms such as Airbnb remove long-term accommodation from the local market and the service-driven tourist economy means full-time permanent work becomes scarcer.

What creates community are the people who are living and working here. To achieve this you need alternative economic drivers to tourism, creating employment opportunities, diversity and community.

What drivers might there be that the local council and state government can support to ensure job opportunities outside tourism?

One is the potential of hemp. That’s right, the secret underground industry that has supported half the population of the northern rivers since the 1970s is finally, at least for the bits that don’t get you high, getting its day in the sun.

Similarly there are other agricultural opportunities in organic farming, the development of the Australian bush-food industry, and the potential of aquaculture if our rivers are cleaned up – which needs to happen anyway.

Areas of education and the creative industries from film and fashion to music also have the potential for significant development in the region.

By developing these industries we also develop support systems and extend the opportunities for future expansion in processing of materials and product development, making the region a hub for innovation.

If Byron Shire relies too heavily on tourism as its future economic driver it will lead to community fragmentation. It is when people are working, living and engaging in their local community that there are opportunities for connection and relationships that can support a robust, diverse region.

S

ound the trumpets, fire the cannons, stop the presses – Scott Morrison’s fledgling government has actually managed a result.

The GST on tampons is to be abolished. It may have taken 18 years and six prime ministers to achieve this modest outcome, but finally the travesty of regarding women’s essential health products as optional luxury items will be exposed as the absurdity it always was.

So that’s the good news. Now for the rest. And that is when it comes to more wide-ranging policy reform, ad hockery rules.

Morrison and his increasingly bewildered treasurer, Josh Frydenberg, are still looking for quick fixes and dodgy bog ups.

The most recent was the lunge to secure the votes of disaffected Sandgropers with a swift cash splash in time for the next election. Morrison, ever the PR man, called it a new, fairer, GST deal, and the West Australians enthusiastically agreed: after all, they got almost all the money, $1.4 billion in the next three years.

But the other five premiers – Liberal as well as Labor – were less impressed. In spite of Frydenberg’s assurances that they would all get a bit of the loot too, they wanted it locked in. They not only wanted more money, they wanted it guaranteed, by legislation, in perpetuity.

This should not have been a surprise: Paul Keating once said that the most dangerous place in the world was to stand between a premier and a bucket of money, and both previous and subsequent COAG meetings have proved the truth of his assertion.

But as usual, the feds were caught unprepared. Frydenberg replied limply that he wanted to make new laws, not worry about the old ones, but

given that Morrison had made it clear that he was determined to enshrine his GST fix into legislation to safeguard it from tampering in future, Frydenberg seemed at best ingenuous.

He could perhaps be forgiven for being blindsided; after all he has only just arrived in the job. But Morrison, a former treasurer with many COAGs behind him, had no excuse.

Not only did he know just how stubborn the states and territories could be when they put their collective minds to it, and to have been aware that with two of them (Victoria and New

the Productivity Commission inquiry into the economic impact of mental health.

But almost all the rest have been negative – dropping the corporate tax cuts, tearing up the much-trumpeted NEG; the latter when the government was already sitting on a report that showed clearly its emissions policy, such as it is, was now going backwards. Then there have been a few lesser inquiries: the ABC, Stuart Roberts, more distractions than serious policy.

And the thought bubble of an Indigenous day of celebration has mercifully been canned.

Morrison and his increasingly bewildered treasurer, Josh Frydenberg, are still looking for quick fixes and dodgy bog ups.

by Mungo MacCallum South Wales) facing imminent elections they were unlikely to be sympathetic to appeals to assisting the West, but Morrison already knew how fraught GST issues could be.

At the start of 2016 he took the idea of a rejig, simplifying the schedule of exemptions and raising the rate; Malcolm Turnbull promptly kyboshed it as being too expensive and too politically difficult. For ScoMo to imagine that just because he has switched roles he could get away with a chewing gum and fencing wire solution was more than naïve – it was deluded.

But it seems of a pattern with Morrison’s other nostrums. The Royal Commission into Aged Care will have no immediate practical purpose for many months – it was about making a decision for the sake of making a decision. But at least it could be cast as a positive. The same could perhaps be said of

It would be easy to get the impression that Morrison is more interested in clearing up the rubble of the last five years than in serious agenda of his own.

Except in one area: religion.

It may well be that our current leader is the most assiduous god botherer ever to assume the role. At first blush, the bonanza shovelled out to the Catholics for their already over-funded schools was just another fix: buy them off, get the lobby off our back, we really need our votes. But no, says our evangelical prime minister: this is all about choice.

If the religious – well, at least the Christians, although this was all about the Catholics – don’t want to be part of the national, secular, public system, they should not have to do so and we – well, the taxpayers, actually – will pay them to go their own way. It need hardly be said that this is not a privi-

lege accorded in other fields of government: normal workers who do not like their surroundings are not lavishly subsidised to provide others they prefer.

State aid for church schools has been a reality for more than 50 years in Australia, but it has seldom been expressed in such stark terms: if you don’t like the system devised by the constitution, you don’t have to put up with it – as long as the prime minister is one of you, a believer, one whose skin curls (whatever condition that may be) when he sees what goes on in public schools.

Morrison’s Pentecostalism is absolute, beyond even his devotion for his football team, but even he apparently realises that his religious zeal may not be shared with all his fellow Australians. He has already told us that he plans to embrace Phillip Ruddock’s inquiry into enhancing religious privilege, but while he has been enjoying the findings for months, they are still to be kept secret – certainly until the voters of Wentworth convene in a fortnight, before the apprehensive agnostics of Vaucluse are to be told they are not to be numbered among those blessed by their theocratic prime minister.

ScoMo does have his charitable moments; last weekend he admitted that Bill Shorten’s proposal for some pre-schooling for three-year-olds might not be a bad idea – if it was affordable. But that was before his allies in the pages of the Murdoch press discerned that it was actually a dastardly plot to snatch innocent infants from their mothers and deliver them to the Green Left Marxist deviates of the education regime.

Back to the culture wars – taking the tax off tampons was quite radical enough.

Letters years we have grown up sufficiently to have an intelligent conversation on what day ALL Australians can celebrate Australia Day. Keith Duncan, Pimlico

A community win

Climate change hasn’t been so bad…

Vegan diet win-win The news that the government has released its latest national greenhouse-gas inventory report on the eve of the football grand finals was met in the press with some cynicism. The report showed that our emissions had risen yet again, making it unlikely that we will be able to meet the Paris Agreement targets.

What’s most concerning isn’t the timing of the release but the devastating impact on agriculture, which it says represents 14 per cent of Australia’s emissions, and has risen to 73.7 million tonnes, an increase of 2.1 per cent over the same period the previous year. This figure doesn’t even take into account the contribution of animal agriculture to transport, electricity, processing, and waste emissions.

The United Nations has stated that there needs to be a global shift towards vegan

eating to alleviate the worst impacts of climate change, and these numbers confirm it. It is the easiest way for us all to do something about greenhouse emissions. If you stop eating animals, the farmers will stop breeding, confining, tormenting, and slaughtering them. You can reduce your footprint with your knife and fork and spare over 200 animals a year from immense suffering in the process.

Desmond Bellamy – PETA Australia

Is it too late?

Many people are giving up hope, saying we have left action against emissions too late.

I reckon there is still a chance of stopping catastrophic climate change if WE ALL go to zero emissions fast enough and implement lots of drawdown.org and maybe do stratospheric sulphur dioxide in the arctic too

to stop the permafrost melt.

Anyway it would be immoral not to try.

St John’s Mullumbimby ‘Junior Johnnies’

We got a great outcome at the Council meeting last week.

BSC endorsed a new licence agreement for Terrace Holiday Park in Brunswick Heads that excludes all camping within the contentious southern area, which has significant environmental, heritage, and historic value to our community. The new agreement protects the endangered community of Cypress Pine trees, which will remain outside the operational area.

The new licence agreement must be forwarded to the Local Government minister for approval.

In 2012 LG minister Don Page directed Crown Lands into mediation with BSC to resolve contentious issues, so this decision on park boundaries is the outcome of six long years of negotiation. We’re confident NSWCHPT (Reflections) and the minister will finally accept BSC’s determination to protect this EEC (endangered ecological community).

BHPA stalwarts along with Tamara Smith, Greens MP for Ballina, must be congratulated for their perseverance; also Byron’s Greens councillors for the glorious backflip now they’ve caught up on the facts.

Plans of Management for Ferry Reserve and Massy Greene Holiday Parks are promised in coming weeks in time for Christmas!

Letters To park, or not

Byron Council misled the public by their press and web statements that the Railway Park status needed to be changed from ‘park’ to ‘general community use’ to facilitate the weekly Sea Shepherd stall, the weekly market and rallies.

The Local Govt Act, and associated legislation, is quite clear that such events can be held under the existing status of ‘park’, and sets out the capacity of ‘park’ to provide licences and leases.

‘Park’ allows a max three consecutive days for events, and a max one-year licence/ lease for multiple events, while Council’s proposed General Community Use status allows licences/leases for 365 days a year for 25-year periods, and the construction of buildings.

The Local Govt legislation was sent to Council but, desperate to find something to hang their propaganda on, their only response was that these activities may intrude on the peaceful enjoyment of the public.

The Local Govt Act required the recent public hearing on the proposed change of status from ‘park’, but the hearing was just a front for Council to fulfil their legal

North Coast news daily: obligations, and without any substantive reason other than aspirational statements, the hearings report recommended the change to General Community Use. The spurious report will be coming to Council for a vote by councillors.

In associated news, some of the Masterplan committee wanted the Railway Park grove of cottonwood trees removed, but evidently a compromise was reached where the trees will be retained but sculpted. Evidently the issue with the trees is that they made it dark under them.

Dark under trees is called shade and, just because people seek it out under our hot summer sun, evidently the present size of the trees doesn’t fit the new proposed sanitised park look. The new park look is proposed to be facilitated by the removal of 194 square metres of Railway Park grass, to be replaced by 194 square metres of concrete, with another couple of hundred square metres of concrete for a park extension from Jonson St to the railway forecourt (requests for retention of park grass, and grass for the proposed extension, have been made).

The Byron Environment Centre is still attempting to

keep the Rotunda in Railway Park. We have agreed to temporarily move during park works, and have suggested temporary placement on the adjoining Visitors Centre Reserve, as we are concerned with the harsh beachfront weather impacts on the painted murals. Despite previously formally telling us to remove the Byron Environment Centre’s Rotunda from Railway Park, Council is now asking us to prove we own it and still hasn’t agreed to a position in the park, or to an arrangement of us as managers of the structure.

Let me get this

Firstly, Mathew Lambourne said in a letter to The Echo (10 September) that no council vote took place to request the developers of Ocean Shores to close the outlet at North Ocean Shores.

When I pointed out that the official Council minutes of July 76 disagree with that assertion, he now says Echo ( 3 October) that I agree with his previous letter!

You can’t have it both ways, Mathew. I disagreed with your letter as do historical council documents. Make your mind up.

netdaily.net.au

Whose ABC is it anyway?

Alas, poor Mungo, you have fallen for the thimble and pea.

Yes, of course there are forces at work undermining the independence of the ABC; however, they are, in the main, from within, not without.

The chairman gone, the CEO gone, even the prime minister gone, while Emma Alberici, Andrew Probyn, and Triple J remain, how does that equate to outside pressure.

Anyone with their head screwed on can easily identify that the ABC is just one of the media arms of the left, the Greens, and GetUp. And if there were ever anyone with guts within the ABC management, all of those involved in the Chris Kenny 2014 cartoon (Chris Kenny Dog), including the Chaser team, should have been sacked on the spot. And to add insult to injury, the taxpayer had to fork out to pay the Kenny settlement.

And also, Mungo, the term appalling Albrechten would We now apparently not only agree that the council requested the developers block the outlet but also agree Council accepted the liability for the increase in flood

have cries of misogyny had it been uttered by anyone from the Right side of politics.

(Hans, as editor, I think that should be your job to pull him up.)

And finally, perhaps the letter of the year was published in The Echo of 3 October from Edward Kent on Australia Day. It showed the true meaning of newspaper independence and should be read out by the Byron Shire mayor at the beginning of every Council meeting for his entire term.

Tim Harrington Lennox Head

Free, fearless, and frank!

That’s how we want Our ABC. Free to us the people, fear-free from political intervention, and frank in its reportage.

Five years of the coalition’s carping complaints have resulted in the brutal and unexplained dismissal of the national broadcaster’s managing director, Michelle Guthrie, halfway through her term.

In a surprise twist, the ‘dismisser’ became the dismissed the following day when the chairman of the board fell on his sword, after being ‘thrown under a bus’ by the man who appointed him, ex-prime minister Malcolm Turnbull.

Clearly it is imperative now that a Senate inquiry with powers to access documents and emails takes place. We need an audit to know exactly what has gone on and when.

That the ABC is without its two most senior appointments is unprecedentedly ludicrous, and an apt reflection on the present government.

Hence, minister for Communications Mitch Fifield’s announcement today of an inquiry set up by his department can only be regarded with the scornful cynicism it deserves, as a whitewash.

Hear this coalition government – It’s our ABC! We pay for it, We trust it, and We will fight for it.

height behind the blocked outlet?

The flood outlet that was reluctantly modelled by the original consultants showed barely any difference in flood

levels because they modelled it without the original connection of the old Billinudgel Creek, which flowed into the ocean at that point. continued on page 18

VICIOUS, FEARSOME, FEROCIOUS BLACK DOG!

The Tweed’s National Party councillor’s bizarre attack against Council regarding its addressing the unlawful parts of the operations of a watermining business is made even more bizarre when he warns the actions of Council are similar to those that saw the council sacked.

Such a claim is a most blatant untruth considering the facts are when this councillor was at the helm of Council at the time it was sacked after a major finding of the inquiry into Council found a substantial slush-fund of developer and big business dollars had been set up to purchase a developer compliant group of councillors.

Hence, the similarities could not be more extreme and further from the truth. Indeed, what is extremely concerning is that we have councillors who are promoting spin to support the unlawful parts of water-

mining operations in our shire with the message to operators that it’s alright, mate, to breach conditions of approval and licence requirements.

So do these councillors review the extensive documented evidence of the lawlessness of this industry and choose to ignore the requirements of elected representatives to act within the law, and are they advocating a lawless society?

Lindy Smith Tweed Heads Contrary to the opinion of the pro-business bloc of Tweed councillors, not every business is a good business.

Have they never been ripped off or taken for a ride like everybody else?

We see that businesses can pocket big profits and deceive customers with marketing propaganda. Businesses can wreck our vulnerable bio-

It would seem there has been, and it looks like there still is, a conspiracy to hide Council’s liability for causing the flooding, aided and abetted by a politically stacked flood committee of mainly non-representative residents of the flooded areas behind the blocked outlets.

I believe the original consultants did not accurately model the outlet and disregarded the 1991 letter confirming the true reductions to avoid litigation from the flooded residents.

There is NO danger from the ocean coming in. If there were, Council had better shut the big opening at Brunswick Heads called the Brunswick River.

The NSW deputy premier warned Council in 1982 that the outlet should not be closed because it would cause flooding and Council would be held liable for the flooding.

In 1984 the NSW Department of Public Works warned if siltation occurred behind the closed outlet it could raise flood levels by up to 1.5 metres.

The problem is recognised

by Council in the Belongil and Tallow beach outlets, which are re-opened periodically to let the floodwaters out.

Why don’t Mathew Lambourne and the council engineers give the same justice to the people of Ocean Shores, New Brighton, Billinudgel, and Golden Beach?

sphere, causing catastrophic consequences. Business needs strong regulation by responsible governments and compliance officers as well.

Water mining is not an ethical business. For one person’s profit and the profits of a multinational corporation, precious water is stolen from the wider community, potentially affecting many lives.

Information from nationally respected hydrologist, Prof Peter Cook from Flinders University, has brought into question the hydrologist’s report tabled by the council staff and endorsed by the NSW Office of Industry (Water). None of the hydrological tests recommended by CSIRO for mapping and understanding of fractured rock aquifers has been conducted in Tweed Shire. There are no data to support the outrageous conclusion that extracting mega-

litres of water from the underground aquifer would have no consequences.

In drought times, it is possible that extracting megalitres of water could cause Rowlands Creek, Uki, to dry up. Has anyone considered that Rowlands Creek adds to the flow of the Tweed River for Tweed’s drinking supply?

With so many unknowns and contradictions the precautionary principle must surely be applied.

Blanket approval of Mr Hallam’s DA for water extraction, irrespective of the level of drought, is blatantly irresponsible on the part of Crs Byrnes, Owen, Polglase and Allsop.

Our democratic representatives are there to serve the best interests of all of us, not just a few selected businesspeople.

Miranda Mills Mount Burrell

Women etc…

Surely we can do better than this. We need a bill of rights to protect us all.

Read: The War on Women in Israel by Elana Maryles Sztokman (in the library).

Love is the answer.

Mick Stacey Ocean Shores

We hear a lot in the media about the atrocities perpetrated towards women in the Islamic world, the fundamentalist Taliban etc…

We hear a lot in The Echo about the atrocities against Palestinians, by the Zionist Israeli government.

What we don’t hear about is the terrible violent oppression, waged against women in Israel, from the religious fanatical Haredi, who seem to have an enormous influence on the so-called secular Israeli government. Where women are segregated on public transport, supermarkets, post offices, banks, even on the streets etc, and physically assaulted if they disobey their fanatical laws.

Echoes of the racist southern USA or South Africa’s apartheid, or Australia’s policies towards First Nation peoples, not so long ago.

Here at home, there are plenty examples of discrimination towards First Nation peoples, women, youth, elderly, disabled, cannabis users, protesters, refugees etc, etc. Just your appearance can prohibit you from certain places; that’s happened to me on many occasions.

I’m male, but have an effeminate appearance with long hair, clothes and jewellery. Not so long ago it was gay people; thank goodness that’s changing.

All this discrimination comes from extremism, much of it religious. Right now we have an extremist as Special Envoy to Indigenous Affairs.

How did that happen?

The Legality of BnBs Over the past few months I have read regularly that Mr Woods and Steven Haby and other locals have been organising meetings with ‘Legal Operators of Holiday Letting’ to control who does and does not operate holiday letting in Byron Bay. I acknowledge all the problems for our town and local residents and the need for Council to manage the situation in Byron Bay. It is very frustrating though when reading these statements as the gentlemen mentioned above have always declared that they are operating an ILLEGAL bedroom, and have done for five years.

They are in good company with numerous registered BnBs operating over the number of bedrooms registered.A Byron Bay thing,all good unless someone complains to Council.

Another ruling for registered BnB operators is that the mangers/owners are to live onsite.

Many operators openly spout they do not.Maybe people in glass house’ should not be throwing stones until their own properties are legal.

When pokies get personal

DR. ALBERT SALMONA MB, BS, (Syd), FAARM, ABAARM, Grad. Dip. Ac.

A perspective on the true cost of poker machines story is far from unique.

In spite of all the horror stories, the pokies industry continues to grow in Australia. We recently witnessed their power when they effectively bought the Tasmanian election. State governments are the greatest pokie addicts of all. The machines brought in 1.45 billion dollars of NSW tax revenue in 2016/2017, and that figure is rising. Unfortunately the costs to families, and society at large, are left uncalculated.

If you know someone who you think might have a problem with pokies, please talk to them before it’s too late.

If you need help, please contact the Northern Rivers Gambling Counselling Service at the Buttery for expert free counselling: 6687 2520 or email info@nrgcs.org.au.

David Lowe

T

he latest national gambling statistics make sobering reading. In spite of horse racing ads on the Opera House, poker machines are by far the biggest contributor, with $12 billion lost across Australia in 2016–17 and almost half of that in NSW. Over $200 million of that comes from the northern rivers, making it one of the worst-affected areas in the state.

Statistics are one thing, but when pokies have taken the life of someone close to you the issue acquires a new meaning. The poker-machine industry and its supporters in government pretend that pokies are a form of recreation, mostly harmless. The reality is that the industry relies on problem gamblers far more than it’s prepared to admit (quote 66 per cent figure from Alliance for Gambling Reform here or opening para?)

Anyone can become a problem gambler, and pokies are particularly dangerous, because they are everywhere. New South Wales has the highest density of poker machines in the world. The machines are designed to take advantage of a common psychological Achilles heel to give players the illusion of winning when they are actually losing.

Gamblers who spend enough are given free drinks and food, special attention. In darkened rooms, time becomes meaningless. The machines are designed to be addictive.

Some people are comforted by the idea that the industry is a tax on stupidity, but some of the most serious pokie addicts are far from stupid.

Take my friend Matt. He was a talented actor who loved Shakespeare. He lived in a beautiful place by the sea, with a supportive partner and family around him. He had a job, responsibilities, things to look forward to, but he had a secret problem – and that problem was pokies. He had always been a bit of a risktaker, but he didn’t seem to fit the profile of a problem gambler. Too young, too much to live for, too smart.

The thing is though, there is no typical profile, there are just factors that raise your risk. These include winning the first time you gamble, living in a poor socioeconomic community, having a family history of problem gamblers, and the big one – having access to poker machines.

Matt didn’t tell any of his friends about his pokie prob-

lem, but he did tell his family, and he took steps with them to try to save himself. He got himself excluded from every venue that would let him in the community where he lived; he arranged for his partner to look after their money; and he tried to move the whole family to an outback community where there were no pokies. Unfortunately that proved impossible.

One day when he was alone and feeling low, he found some money that had been hidden for a family holiday and took it to the only venue in town that refused to exclude him. Having lost it all on the pokies, he returned home and took his own life.

He left a note with one word: ‘Sorry’.

The ripples from this event have continued to travel outward. Sadly Matt’s

Supporting each other towards mental wellbeing Mandy Nolan

E

arlier this year I picked up a young woman in obvious mental distress and took her to my home. After feeding her and assessing the situation I ended up taking her to hospital where I stayed with her until I was assured that she was to be admitted and cared for. Later I visited her at Tweed Heads where she’d been transferred and was relieved to discover that she had recovered from her ‘episode’ and that she was soon to return home to Adelaide.

She later sent me a lovely thankyou. She was okay and, in retrospect, realised how her psychosis had put her at risk. It was weird to be thanked. It felt like something that we should do for each other if we can.

Although in that situation there certainly was an opportunity for me to step away, I am really pleased that I ‘stepped up’. In the end it didn’t take a lot of effort from me. What it took was my engaging with someone.

October is Mental Health Month in NSW and it is focused around raising awareness around mental health and wellbeing. Key themes are destigmatisation and inclusion.

Interestingly, when I told friends the story of the young woman I helped they said, ‘Weren’t you afraid?’ I was, but only that she might try to jump out of the car while I was driving. I certainly didn’t feel any risk from her. What I did feel though was immense

compassion and a sense of responsibility to try to assist her.

Fay Jackson is the deputy commissioner for the NSW Mental Health Commission, the general manager of Flourish, and the CEO of Vision In Mind believes people still have a lot of fear around mental illness. (Illness is not a word that Fay likes using.) ‘I think people are afraid of mental health; they are afraid of getting poor mental illness themselves,’ says Fay. ‘They talk about it as not being normal, but one in 4–5 people at any given moment has a mental health issue; over a course of a lifetime 50 per cent of people experience it.’ So statistically, having incidences around mental health is completely normal.

Discrimination and lack of inclusion starts with language. People can make some real changes by just being more aware of the words they use.

Saying ‘I had a full on day at work – it was mental!’ or ‘She’s nuts!’ are part of what has continued the marginalisation of people with mental illness.

Fay absolutely agrees. ‘Language can be hurtful and discriminating and stigmatising. Even the weather report has been known to say ‘some schizophrenic weather ahead’.

It just further marginalises and builds more fear about mental illness. Language makes and breaks cultures. If we have a positive language full of hope and understanding, than a lot of the trauma and marginalisation that comes about will dissipate.’

We are not all the same. Not everyone sees the world through the same eyes. Building a more inclusive world will make the planet a better place. Photo Tree Faerie

One of the most exciting changes in what is available for people to support their mental health is Peer support. Fay Jackson is a fierce advocate of peer workers and believes that is one of the ways we can make real societal changes. ‘Peer workers are people who have experienced mental health issues and who are supporting people; they are recovering or are recovered folk who support people on their recovery journey. They use their lived experience purposefully to connect with people to build trust and rapport, and to mentor and

support people during the tough times; they embody hope because they have been through similar experiences and they are saying you can do it,’ says Fay. At Flourish 52 per cent of the staff have lived experience. ‘Including the range of diagnoses that people have.

We support people in the workplace. And people when they are supported are generally really good employee.

We have no more problems with them than we do with other members of the staff. It is a furphy that people with mental issues can’t be valuable members of society. It’s

CHESS by Ian Rogers Not since the days of the Soviet Union has a country won both Open and Women’s Chess Olympiads in the same year but China achieved this stupendous feat in Batumi, Georgia, on Friday.

China tied for first in both events but prevailed on a complicated tiebreak system.

In the Open division, with 178 countries represented, longtime leader Poland was defeated by China in the penultimate round leaving the heavyweights of USA, Russia and China to endure a nail-biting wait for their past opponents to finish their matches.

In the end China edged out defending gold medallists the USA, with Russia trailing due to their poor start.

In the women’s division, with 30 fewer teams, the result was solely due to extraordinary persistence by China in their final match against Russia. The Chinese board four saved a completely lost endgame, after which Women’s World Champion Ju Wenjun scored the key point (from a losing position) in 95 moves against the Russian number one Alexandra Kosteniuk.

That left China tied with the Ukraine and tiebreakers favoured the defending titleholders.

Australia performed respectably, though the women’s team was handicapped by the hospitalisation of their board one Heather Richards who tried to play through illness for a little too long.

The teams’ top scorers were Zhang Jilin in the women’s team and Bobby Cheng in the open, with Cheng playing no fewer than three 100-move games.

Batumi Olympiad 2018 Leading final scores, Open: =1.China, USA, Russia 18/22; =4.Poland, England 17; (=25.Australia 14).

Women: =1.China, Ukraine 18; 3.Georgia 17; (=32.Australia 13).

discrimination, and discrimination is illegal.’ Inclusion is a key theme for people with lived experience. ‘It’s about living a connected meaningful life. It is what will keep people alive’ says Fay. ‘People can have terrible thoughts and feelings but if they feel valued and have value it is likely to to keep them alive through tough times. When they can’t experience hope people are at risk. We need people to be able to experience hope.’ Things are clearly changing in regard to societal attitudes, but not for everyone. ‘There have been changes around the diagnosis of depression and anxiety and PTSD but it hasn’t changed around the diagnosis of bipolar, schizophrenia, personality disorder. Those diagnoses are greatly feared and they shouldn’t be. I have a diagnosis of bipolar schizoid affective disorder but I am a mother and a grandmother and have been married to my husband for 38 years. If people around us are supportive, those of us with what are considered serious and enduring mental health issues can lead good, contributing, connected, and valuable lives.’ Fay Jackson just happens to be deputy commissioner for the NSW Mental Health Commission. Pretty impressive for a woman who was told by doctors that she would ‘never work’. Fay Jackson is a passionate advocate for people with lived experience but is also an inspiration in what she has achieved.

The media are often responsible for perpetuating

negative and stigmatising stories of people experiencing poor mental health. ‘For every negative story there would be a thousand positive stories but the media don’t want to print those stories,’ says Fay. ‘They only want the sensationalisation of the human condition‌’ In the end it is about connecting. ‘We are half living our lives by not connecting to the people in our community,’ says Fay. ‘Our community aren’t fulfilling their potential because they are not engaging.’ With World Mental Health Day marked for 10 October every year it’s important to remember that it’s not just about what services are available. ‘Every member of society can play a role in supporting a person,’ says Fay. ‘You don’t have to have a degree, you don’t need to be a psychiatrist or a doctor to play your role to help someone overcome the trauma that they are experiencing. A colleague or friend or relative who is prepared to say I will help you through this – you can make a plan, meet weekly or whatever works and a person can get through it when the people around are supporting them.’ While services in regional areas aren’t as varied and available as often as in metropolitan areas, Fay believes there are some great online forums to speak with peers with lived experience.

A new face at Parkinson Real Estate Tim Miller has a distinguished real estate pedigree. Tim grew up in Byron Bay where his parents owned and operated Home and Country Real Estate, before starting Miller’s Bangalow Real Estate in the late 80s.

‘I was lucky enough to be able to learn firsthand from my parents. Mum and Dad ran small, independent businesses and success depended on good relationships, a lot of hard work, and being at the heart of their community,’ says Tim. Tim’s parents, Reg and Denise Miller, knew everyone in Bangalow and fought to save many of its heritage features. ‘Mum and Dad knew everyone by name and were super involved.’

In his early years in real estate, Tim learned a lot about the local market and what makes Bangalow and its surrounds so special. Just as importantly, he learned what the people in the area most value. ‘Many of my clients have moved from Sydney and Melbourne, attracted to this area’s beauty but also the strong sense of community. Hard work, integrity, and caring about the community and the people we work for builds respect in the long term. Simply, what worked so well for my parents has also worked for me.

‘Parkinson is a family-run business, which I love, and it’s exciting to be getting in at ground level as they continue to grow in our area,’ says Tim. In just a short time Parkinson has taken the local property market by storm. ‘I went along to a couple of Parkinson auctions in Bangalow and was very impressed.’ Tim was hooked and is now proud to be part of the Parkinson team.

46 Main Arm Road Mullumbimby

Find yourself in this private tropical oasis amongst the birds in this sought after street in South Golden Beach, just 200m from the pristine beach in a quaint village locale. This property features two separate spacious living areas, beautiful timber floors, white timber tongue and groove walls and ceilings, recycled timber doors and leadlight windows. A beautifully built home overflowing with character makes this property a must to inspect.

Agent interest. â&#x20AC;˘ 3 good sized bedrooms, all w/ BIR â&#x20AC;˘ Master with ensuite â&#x20AC;˘ Large kitchen â&#x20AC;˘ Art Deco style bathrooms â&#x20AC;˘ Privacy and seclusion â&#x20AC;˘ Separate studio for guests or ideal for running home office or business space

A rare find indeed. The first time offered in over 60 years, this magnificent example of â&#x20AC;&#x153;mid-century Mullumbimbyâ&#x20AC;? has been a home of quality since the day it was conceived with many features prized and sought in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s market. The home is not just double brick, every wall inside the home is brick.

Among the many unspoilt features of the home are the freshly polished timber floors, timber sash windows, high ceilings with moulded plaster cornice, terracotta tile roof, French doors and the list goes on. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a real story to this property and the names inscribed on the inside of the sandstock garage is nostalgia if not intriguing. The reluctant sale of 46 Main Arm Rd by this local family opens up an opportunity for a new family to enjoy and create their own history in this great old home.

Why wouldn’t you?

As awareness of sustainable, low-waste and ethical business practices continues to grow, owner and master roaster David Kennedy of Bun Coffee talks about how he has addressed these issues during his thirteen-year coffee journey in Byron Bay.

Workshops: Bugs for kids and bees School holidays provide a leisurely opportunity to answer all your children’s questions, such as which came first, the birds or the bees, beds or bugs? If, after the third day of relentless questioning, you feel you could do with some expert assistance, why not check out The Farm’s school holiday workshop on bugs?

Ticks for The Farm because the kids are outside, and it’s promoting a healthy lifestyle, mentally and physically.

‘Specialising in organic, fair-trade and Rainforest Alliance coffees was always a given for us and something we have chosen to do without much fanfare,’ says David. ‘We don’t charge our customers more for it; it’s just standard practice for us. I’ve always thought that if you have the chance to source quality beans with these options then “why wouldn’t you?” We can all do our bit to ultimately contribute to better working conditions for the 25 million small-holder coffee plantation farmers.

‘It’s essentially about creating stable prices, decent working conditions, empowerment of farmers and workers, better environmental practices and regeneration of resources to help make the coffee industry we love so much more sustainable and viable in the long term.

Single origin ‘I was offering single origins in 1989 but in those days there was very little understanding and uptake. Now it’s being driven by the demand of consumers for high-quality coffees to be enjoyed in their purest form. By producing our single origins it’s also an opportunity to tell the origin story of the countries and the specific regions and farms and further supporting the farmers and their communities for better working conditions.

Bugs: 12 October 9.30am–1pm. The Farm say: ‘We start the workshop with an educational, hands-on and fun tour of The Farm where we specifically search for and focus our discussion on beneficial bugs. We talk about why specific bugs are a beneficial part of our ecosystem and what plants help attract them. In craft we make useful butterfly and bug magnets and plant flower seeds to attract beneficial bugs into our garden.’

Takeaway cups

Bees: 27 October 10am–1pm: Join Willow and Ally for an introduction to beekeeping. Watch a Flow Hive being harvested and have a look through an active Kenyan Top Bar beehive while learning about the basics of natural beekeeping. The morning will cover the lifecycle of bees, seasonal expansion and contraction, the different types of hives and pests and diseases.

More info: The Farm, 11 Ewingsdale Rd, Ewingsdale thefarmbyronbay.com.au

‘We have only ever used BioPak packaging for our takeaway cups, chosen because of they are fully compostable with a plant lining (instead of plastic). We are lucky to live in Byron Shire where the council does recycle single-use takeaway cups and green-waste compost bins are available in public places and homes. Unfortunately the provision and collection of green bins is not available for businesses yet so we hire one specifically for the Roastery and pay for its collection.

‘We sell our coffee sacks at the Roastery and all proceeds go to Byron Youth Service locally. We’ve also seen some fantastic upcycling projects from our coffee sacks, from cushion covers, home furnishings, and aprons to pet bedding and garden mulch. All our coffee grounds go to a local nursery.’

FRANTI S STAYING HUMAN OPENS BYRON FILM FESTIVAL I have a confession. Unlike most people in our region I’ve never been a Franti fan. I couldn’t tell whether the social consciousness was real, or it was just part of the show.

I guess that’s my cynicism. Well, my cynicism took a back seat watching Franti’s latest film Stay Human. It was impossible not to be moved and to completely change my view.

The passion Franti feels for the human condition is very real. As is his call for change.

But in this film it’s not a rebel yell from the stage. It’s quiet. Sad even.

This is not a film about a musician with a big career talking to famous people changing the world. This is a film where a weary man finds hope in the stories of very ordinary people: the key message being ‘Stay Human’, hence the film’s title. It is a film about those of us engaged in our small struggles, about the importance of our resilience, and about how powerful our ordinary lives are. In one film I became a late-life Franti fan. Yes, I even cried.

It’s so moving it’s impossible not to. Even for cynics like me.

This film traverses the globe, with stories from Africa, Bali, and in the US, but the feel is intimate, as Franti takes us into his own story to explain where he’s come from and who he is. It’s very raw, and it’s powerful to see a public figure let the mask drop.

‘I realised if I wanted to share how to inspire people,’ says Franti from the US, ‘I had to share my own personal journey. I have battled depression and anxiety in my life – being brought up in a mixed-race mixed-sexuality

family and a family that is not emotionally expressive. Growing up it led to my having this great desire to express myself – but there is still a part of me that wakes up that goes this world is fucked. What is the point.

Nothing can change.’

The deep cynicism that Franti expresses in the film and in our interview is what really makes me like him. He gets it. It’s not just blind optimism, it’s something more powerful than that. It’s optimism forged in the furnace of despair.

Feeling that when it comes to change all hope is lost is something that has dogged Franti for years.

‘I feel like every day I have made 30 years of music that was trying to inspire and bring about social change and the planet and speak to the dignity of people, and yet the world is so messed up. I thought the world is so messed up and then I meet people who inspire me. Every little bit counts, and it all adds up, every little bit, to be our authentic selves, to be who we are with all our hidden scars, and show them.’

Stay Human has won an array of awards while on the festival circuit, including the RWJ Barnabas Health Award at the 2018 Asbury Park Music & Film Festival, the Audience Award at the 2018 Nashville Film Festival, the Audience Award and the Voice for Humanity Award at the 2018 ILLUMINATE Film Festival, and the Soul in Cinema Award at the 2018 Maui Film Festival. The film will continue to screen at film festivals this winter, including upcoming public screenings at the

Woodstock Film Festival in Woodstock, NY, and the Mill Valley Film Festival in San Rafael, California. That’s a lot of accolades for the quiet stories of a midwife in Bali, two young people from South Africa, and an American couple who are dealing with the husband’s debilitating illness.

‘The stories aren’t about huge extraordinary things,’ says Franti. ‘ They are people doing everyday things overcoming their circumstances, like the rapper in South Africa who lives in a tin shack and who puts himself through university studying by a kero light because he believes he can inspire his community. Or Robin Lim, who travels through Bali and Indonesia to deliver babies safely. And Hope and Steve.

Steve has advanced stages of ALS (also known as motor neurone disease) and the way they stay together and nurture each other, and to see their love story… those are the things that get you up in the morning. It’s people’s tenacity.’

These stories are reminders of our simple human potency in world where most people feel constantly disempowered by the constant messaging that they are not enough.

‘That is what I feel so much of the time,’ says Franti, ‘this sense of inadequacy. I am not cool enough, my music is not enough, we are not enough, we are constantly trying to fill that up. The reality is that all of us are what we search for, and if we look for love we find it.

The film is about my personal journey trying to retune the way I view life.’

One thing spectacularly absent in this film about hope and humanity is Donald Trump.

It was a conscious choice for Franti, who has taken a view that I believe is the only way to silence the monster: don’t give it any air.

‘It was one of the things I struggled with making this film; the giant spectre that is covering everything in our lives is Trump. I didn’t even mention him in the film, and that was by choice. The film was about how each of us can find the humanity in ourselves; that is bigger than Trump. Everyone of us has this 10 per cent that is dark and it’s fearful.

If you fan that side of yourself you can turn any person into a mean distrusting person, you turn everyday ordinary people into hate mongering (like Hitler did) if you tell people they have meaning; you can take someone who is teetering on the edge and turn them into an amazing full human again. That was the message of the film: it’s stay human – let’s do it, now is the time.

‘We need to turn our empathy into action.’

Stay Human is without a doubt one of the most extraordinarily simple and beautiful documentary films I have seen. It’s the kind of empathy revolution we can all be part of.

Please make sure you see this very important little film screening for opening night for the Byron Film Festival at the Byron Centre on Friday. Check the full program for all screenings over 12–21 October at bbff.com.au.

WHO’S FUCKING BYRON? Every time I start a conversation about inappropriate development in Byron I hear the same tired refrain. ‘Byron’s fucked anyway.’ This is based on the belief that it used to be good but now it’s not.

Is it a coincidence that it’s generally said by people who used to be young and now they’re not? Getting older does tend to make you more cynical. And with that comes this cavalier attitude of saying things are fucked. Like the Barrier Reef.

I mean you could save it, but it’s fucked anyway. And the koala – sorry, fucked. Um, what about the white rhino? Yep, it’s fucked too. Orangutans – pretty well fucked.

Saying stuff is fucked means you don’t have to do anything about it. You can smugly wipe your hands of all responsibility and walk away telling everyone you left early because you knew it was going to eventually end up on the ‘It’s Fucked’ list.

Byron’s not fucked. You fucked off.

I don’t subscribe to the ‘Byron’s Fucked Anyway’ campaign.

That’s defeatist, and it plays into the hands of the big developers who are sitting there waiting for Byron to stop protesting and bend her over and fuck her as hard as they can. Developer Rape. ‘She asked for it. I mean you can’t fuck up something that’s already fucked can you?’

But there is hope. I still think that we could create a cohesive and unified community in balance with tourism. It just takes vision. It’s hard to see in the future when you spend too much time looking into the past.

We have to stop focusing on what we should be and start working on what we could be. Sure the past has a lot to teach us, but if we spend too much time looking in the rear-vision mirror we’re going to crash into the obstacles that lie ahead.

Like West Byron. That is what I think has happened to Byron.

I’ll admit that I too suffer from the ‘how great Byron used to be’ affliction that stops us doing anything about what’s happening now.

I once was young and once used to live in Byron in the utopian time of ‘goodness’ in the pre-fucked era of free love and abundance (which btw the surfers said was ‘fucked’ even back then because we were there), and I do remember the heyday when we used to rent cheap beachfront shacks, there was all-day parking and an actual ‘low’ season. And I was hot.

So was Byron. It was a wicked combination. Byron’s not fucked. Fucked over – yes. Fucked up – maybe. Occasionally full of fuckwits – definitely. Full of people fucking? Always.

Isn’t that why we came here?

But Byron’s not fucked. It may be tired. Exploited. Overused.

It may have an oversupply of greed and a generalised compassion deficit. It may suffer from poor planning. Lack of long-term vision. Cohesive and strategic strategy. But this isn’t all Byron is.

ON THE PEACE RUN Australian-Fijian singer/songwriter/producer Andrea Kirwin is the eldest daughter of a Fijian preacher. Sunshine Coastbased Andrea grew up singing three-part harmonies with her siblings and learnt AMEB piano from an early age. Music was her constant companion throughout her education; however, it wasn’t until her 21st birthday that Andrea was gifted a guitar by a good friend, and she began writing songs after being inspired by her first live concert by Australian artist Clare Bowditch. The foundation of Andrea’s songwriting is love, unity, peace, and community. Over the past ten years Andrea has been steadily building a national following since first taking to the stage as one half of duo/band The Andi and George Band in Canberra in 2007, and as a solo artist from 2009 till now. With a warm and disarming stage presence, an angelic voice, heart-filled lyrics, and entertaining stories, Andrea continues to share her beautiful songs with all who wish to listen.

Andrea founded her own independent record label Peace Run Records in 2009 and has since released three full-length albums: From the Ground Up (2013), The Story of Us (2015), and A Quiet Revolution (2017).

Andrea is running a songwriting and performance workshop on Saturday 3 Nov 10am–12pm, and is one of the featured performers for Rainbow Lightning at the Brunswick Picture House, a two-day peace concert for the whole family – 3 and 4 November. Concerts from 7pm.

THE WOLF OF BYRON STREET Andrew Stockdale reckons he’s found his happy place. That’s what the lead guitarist and lead vocalist for Wolfmother told Beats magazine recently. He’s moved to Bangalow and he couldn’t love it more. ‘Byron is a very inspiring part of the world.

It’s just ridiculously inspirational. You could create so much art and so much music continuously here. You feel like people who are living in a shack with next to nothing have as good a quality of life as millionaires living on the beach. You could fall asleep under a tree here, and it would be a nice tree with a nice view.’

Stockdale has gone solo, having just released Slipstream. He says, ‘I feel like I can be creative all the time now, continuously. All our gear is set up right here. I could start writing the next one right now. I feel like I pretty much already have. I feel like recording music is a continual part of life, and I’m at one with it all.’ Clearly Stockdale belongs here. He’s got the vibe sorted.

Andrew Stockdale is at the Hotel Great Northern on Friday.

The stage will be all fired up with Johnny Utah (Cleveland singer/ songwriter/free-styler/musician/DJ… and all-round good guy) sharing a collection of tunes on the decks.

Don’t miss this great night of music at the Court House on Wednesday 10 October at 7pm. $15

The Arakwal know the stories that made this place, the stories that quietly inhabit the places where we noisily scramble for space. Every day there are more stories. This place is a magnet for stories. A catalyst for change.

As much as I complain and bitch about Byron, I have to admit that Byron still moves me. Even now when I have to spend 50 minutes auditioning for the daily episode of Ewingsdale Survivor and experience Australia’s most easterly rearending. I get to the Pass and I know that it’s worth it. The sand on my feet. The soft wind on my back. The silky caress of the water around my ankles. It doesn’t happen anywhere else.

When I swim at Surfers Paradise I don’t feel it. Nor do I feel it at Bondi. Or Evans Head. All great beaches, but not Byron.

That’s the Byron thing. It’s why people come here.

There is something absolutely undefinable and transformative about Byron – our bizarre Mecca for the spiritually and emotionally bereft. For those whose lives have broken, or are yet to break. For addicts finding sobriety. For sober people finding addiction. For the lost finding direction.

For those with too much direction finding the courage to get lost. For the lonely and disconnected. For the connected and frightened of being alone. For those with no money who came to make more. For those with too much money trying to make even more.

So don’t say Byron is fucked. I suggest that instead of bagging it, and saying Byron’s fucked, why don’t you actually stop fucking it. Do something about it.

WILLY WATSON

Did you expect the new album would receive such a huge response?

I guess we did. Our previous releases were all huge in their own right. Our last album was the fourth-biggest-selling album in New Zealand that year and that was against all genres including pop.

You also got to number eight in the popular charts in Poland.

Yes, we enjoy international fanbases all over the world. We love Poland, have played their Ostroda festivals a few times now and are keenly awaiting the call back!

Did you know you had so many fans (family) in Poland?

Not until we played there the first time… a lot of blue-eyed dreads singing along… very awesome to see!

The name of this album, Legacy, is referring to your the legacy of Katchafire and KatchaFire’s extended family.

You have mentioned how important the extended Katchafire family is to your music and the artistic journey you as a group are. Can you tell us more about what that means and how it impacts on you guys and on your music?

Yep, it’s about the legacy we have created and the legacy we are yet to create. Family is everything to this band. And we take on the work as a family, which has always been a strength to us… taking on the trials and tribulations as a functioning family has always been what it’s about for us.

Shortly after you released the album you made a trip to Hawaii for a ‘surprise’ performance at the Island Music Awards. How was that for you all? Was it amazing to play at one of the industry’s most high-profile events?

It was the first iHeart Radio Awards in Hawaii recognising artists from the reggae genres and Polynesia. Our Best Group Award nomination was up against Hawaiian and Jamaican artists. We didn’t take the win but it’s really promising to see an award recognising our efforts and interesting to say the least.

ENTERTAINMENT

Where did your passion for old time music begin?

Do you have a big fanbase or lots of extended Katchafire family over there in Hawaii?

We do! We really love touring there and the Hawaiian people love Katchafire. We have been pretty much claimed as Hawaiian; a few times when locals see us they think we are locals.

After Hawaii you went on to North America to tour the album for two months. What is it like to tour in the USA? It’s very gruelling playing six nights a week on average. We had 11 shows back to back on that tour… you have to really pace yourself and know your limits. We’ve been touring there for some time now so it’s fully dialled in. Having a tour bus is pretty crucial when you do heavy tours like that: 12-sleeper, kitchen, and two lounges with a full-time driver means you can wake up outside the next venue ready to go with all that you need right there. It’s like having your house right next door to the venue.

You have Island Vibe Festival coming up. Are you looking forward to coming to play the festival?

Yes we are. We have fond memories of that festival, particularly the afterparty going on the beach for drum circles!

What else is coming up for Katchafire? Is there anything else you’d like to tell your Byron fans about?

There are some exciting new releases and collaborations coming up that we can’t wait to share with everyone. And the boys are promising to step up our studio releases so you can look forward to more fire real soon!

Katchafire play Island Vibe Festival at North Stradbroke Island 25–28 October. For tickets and program info go to islandvibe.com.au.

Old time music is very specifically fiddle and banjo mountain music – and it’s just a facet of folk music. When I was a teen grown up in central NY state around Ithaca NY – there was a lot of this music owing to the hippies in the folk revival of the 60s and 70s and it really stuck – so there was a lot of it locally.

I listened to records from Tommy Jarrell and Fred Cockerham. In a sense I really play a more broader ‘folk’ music – like Keep It Clean and Midnight Special – and those are not ‘old time’ songs, those are blues songs, another facet of folk music.

Did you grow up in a musical house hold?

My dad was a music fan – no one played. No-one played instruments or anything. There were a lot of records and a love of music in the house. I found the old-time music myself.

Was your heart always with American folk music or have you dabbled in other genres of music.

In folk music there’s bits of everything, not just blues or oldtime. Old-time predates bluegrass, and bluegrass comes from old-time. Old-time is a marriage of Scottish, Irish and European fiddlers, coming together with the African American slaves who brought the banjo – it’s just a whole world of music. The Cajun music down in Louisiana, the Nova Scotian sea shanties from Canada, and all around New England are the whaling songs. There’s the jig band music out of Memphis, the delta blues from the Deep South and then there’s the Texas fiddlers. There’s just all kinds of stuff. I didn’t singularly restrict myself to this kind of music.

You know I didn’t start out playing this – I was playing Neil Young and Nirvana songs – and the Ramones. It wasn’t until later that I got into this. I love Bob Dylan and Neil Young; lately it’s Major Laser and all kinds of stuff.

WILLY WATSON INTERVIEW CONTINUED

GEORGIA’S FIELDS OF MUSICAL JOY

GEORGIA FIELDS’S POSTCARD-PERFECT POP COMBINES THE ASTRAL WITH THE ORDINARY, EARNING HER A REPUTATION AS ONE OF AUSTRALIA’S BRIGHTEST INDEPENDENT SINGER/ SONGWRITERS. BRIMMING WITH AN INTOXICATING MELODICISM, HER STELLAR SONGCRAFT DRAWS ON INFLUENCES AS FAR-REACHING AS GREEK MYTHOLOGY, LUNAR FOLKLORE, AND THE SUCCULENT ANATOMY OF CITRUS FRUITS. SHE HAS RELEASED HER LATEST ALBUM AFLOAT, ADRIFT, A RAW VISCERAL AND SWEEPING OLD-WORLD ROMANCE. The Sydney Morning Herald described your songs as ‘darkly-coded collisions of fairytale and myth’. When writing love songs with a pop edge, how important is it to give them a little darkness?

I enjoy songs with light and shade; and yes I absolutely love to play with that in my own work! If I’m writing a song about love, I want to weave a little darkness in. If it’s a heartbroken ballad, I’ll want to put just a little bit of humour in.

What’s your songwriting process? Do you work from emotional responses or are you more conceptual?

I always start with the lyrics. I can’t sing until I have something to say. There’s a certain challenge in attempting to write a song about an abstract or non-autobiographical concept.

Lately I’ve been returning to very personal themes.

What is it about fairytales that draw you in?

Is there something deeper in the mythology about the human condition?

I’m really interested in archetypes and the common emotional threads that allow music to communicate in metaphor, yet still speak so personally to people. For me, pop music is mythology. And as a writer of pop songs, I’m asking myself, ‘How can I distill this emotion or this story into the purest essence?’ Fables such as Red Riding Hood or the Greek myth of Sisyphus are well-worn pebbles, yet they still hold so much power to mirror back the human experience.

How did making your second album Astral Debris differ from your latest offering Afloat, Adrift?

Astral Debris was a very carefully crafted production, and album creation took over a year. With Afloat, Adrift I wanted to return to more classic album-making techniques where

Are you excited to be coming to play here in Australia?

You seem to be making quite a few visits. How is your fan-base growing out here?

performances were captured live, and mostly in one room. Because I’d spent a lot of time getting the string arrangements just right I was able to walk into Newmarket Studios with the Andromeda String Quartet and engineer Callum Barter (Courtney Barnett; Saskwatch), and focus on capturing the best whole performance of each song. We’d finished recording in about four hours.

You have chosen strings on this one. How does this shape the feel of a song over making the piano or keys more dominant?

Strings have always featured in my band sound, and for a few years now I’ve been lucky to work on the side as a string arranger, composing orchestral accompaniment for other pop artists – from art-rocker Olympia to the more adult contemporary Anthony Callea. With Afloat, Adrift I wanted to showcase the beautiful Andromeda Quartet all on their own, and go deeper into more textural ‘extended’ string techniques, inspired by Bjork’s collaboration with the Brodsky Quartet. Being mostly strings and voice it’s a more halcyon offering, but there’s a real energy and rawness with the live performances, and The Andromeda Quartet are just sublime.

It seems that you have had a wonderfully collaborative career. Who are the other artists who have inspired or worked with you along the way?

Last year I did a national tour with Phia, another Melbourne artist who I admire so much. Phia trained as a jazz pianist, so she has this formidable musical training, but with her original project she’s embraced a more eclectic DIY-pop sound with an ingenious use of the African kalimba and loop pedals. She is a brilliant arranger/producer. Many years ago I performed at Queenscliff Music Festival in Victoria with the RocKwiz Live Orchestra, alongside grunge pioneer Kim Salmon. I remember asking him backstage what advice he would give someone like me who was starting out at the time, and he just laughed and said, ‘Georgia, you worry too much!’ Those words have stayed with me!

When you take the stage, what kind of experience do you want to give your audience?

For myself, but I love to see a concert or a live artwork that is transformative in some way. As an audience member, I love to watch performers who are able to articulate the unarticulable, whether that’s through a wail or a venomous guitar sound or a gentle lilting hum. I want to walk out of the room a different person. That’s what I aspire to as performer.

What should we expect for your shows at Mullum Music Festival?

I’ve got a bunch of new songs that haven’t been recorded yet, and I’m really excited to share those with people! When I play solo I like to utilise a variety of textures, so I’m bringing my electric guitar, my vintage Casio and 80s Omnichord, and there’ll be some layered vocal loops.

Georgia Fields is one of the exciting new faces at Mullum Music Festival 15–18 November. To find out more about go to mullummusicfestival.com.au.

Yes, am excited to be in Australia – Ive been out here quite a few times over the years. We played a sold out show in Melbourne a few days ago, and it’s going great. It’s like – I don’t always sell as many tickets back home, so to see the appreciation for what I do over here is really heartwarming and I am really grateful for it.

Your music is so ‘American’. Why do you think people here love it so much? It’s certainly music from before a time of political correctness!

I don’t know – it might be like a stylistic thing or a trend. It’s like people like music ‘cos it fits clothes they wear. It’s almost like a new thing over here – I’m not saying it’s just like a trend, but I have to say that if you really love the music and you dig deeper, and it really means something to you, and you start giving it some time, and obsessing over it like I do, it’s a beautiful thing and it can change your life in a big way, and can benefit you in a big way. It’s a captivating show and people get wrapped up in it. Before political correctness?

I don’t see it as that. I don’t think that matters or is even a thing, and I don’t see this existing in my record. I know what you mean – but I suppose I think the times have changed in a big way. I can speak for back home anyway, and I’m all for that kind of change. It’s been a long time coming. There’s a genuine love of it. And if you come to my show, we’ll have a unifying experience.

Tell us about your most recent release, Folk Singer Vol 2.

What was the inspiration for this album?

It’s the same deal as the first record, and it’s a continuation of Volume 1. I’ve stuck to the same program, but wanted to expand it sonically a little bit. We’ve put some bass on a few songs, and of course we’ve included the Ferris Wheel Four – an incredible gospel group that’s been around forever. We just wanted it to better than the first, you cant be worse – that wouldn’t be a good thing at all! I wish I was Bob Dylan, I wish I was writing songs every day, but I’m just not built like that. So when I found myself solo – and out of of the Old Crow Medicine Show – I thought well, I’ve got to be a singersongwriter. But when I go out to a show and I play the songs I write on my own, people think they’re okay, but they really love Midnight Special – so I’m going to play that. I play them like they’re mine, and I feel like I’ve claimed them – which people really enjoy. Keep It Clean’s mine now! (Laughs) What can bluegrass and American folk music fans expect from your show at CLUB MULLUM this Friday?

I think they will feel something – they’ll catch the wave that I’m on. I’m up there onstage and am really passionate about it, I really dig into it and dig into the feeling that I’m getting when I’m up there. I want to feel it in my whole body and in my heart and in my soul when I’m singing and when I’m playing.

And if I get myself to that place, and I get out there and I share it, and that’s the energy that’s coming off me, people pick up on that, and they get affected by it. I think expect more than just to sit there and casually listen. I think expect to sit there and get changed.

Willie Watson (US) plays Club Mullum on Friday Oct 12 with special guests ASH & SARA – 8pm.

YOU HAD TO BE HERE This Sunday, Stories in the Club gather to hear tales of bird and human migration. Tellers will be Jan Olley, John Imbrogno, Alicia Vella, Luis Santos, and Jenni Cargill-Strong. Two weeks later it will be followed by a story circle on the theme of Sanctuary at Wild Space on Sunday 28 October.

Jan Olley is the coordinator of Byron Bird Buddies and sits on the Regional Advisory Committee for National Parks. Her story tells not only of her own discoveries in nature but of the astounding journeys of thousands of migrating shorebirds that visit our coasts and wetlands each year.

Bobbi Allan has a long involvement with social and environmental organisations, was a founding member and facilitator of the Heart Politics conferences, the Social Change Training & Resource Centre, and Buddhist teacher at Stillness in Action meditation retreats. Bobbi now teaches mindfulness to school teachers and students.

She has been active in support of refugees in Australian detention centres since 2001 and will read from a new book by Behrouz Boochani, a Kurdish-Australian journalist and filmmaker with a background in political science and geopolitics.

John Imbrogno is a passionate storyteller and was a member of the Byron Circle of Tellers. He has been working with young men and men for over 10 years and uses story as therapy in his work. He will tell of his recent journey to Italy and meeting his extended family for the first time.

Alicia Vella’s passion is co-creating and facilitating interactive experiences inviting people to deeply connect into their heart centre through wellness, creativity and nature. Alicia’s creatively expressed story encapsulates her ancestral lineage’s migration journey to Australia and what it means for her to create roots on the sacred land of Australia.

Luis Santos was born in Lisbon, Portugal. He’s been a Mullumbimby dweller for over 15 years, is married to Tracy, is the father of five children, and has been active in the local men’s movement.

Curator of the event, storyteller and singer Jenni Cargill-Strong, will sing the original ballad of her greatgrandmother, Emily Jane, who sailed here with her husband and child in 1884 and endured many hardships on the journey and after arrival.

Sunday at the Mullum Ex-Services at 4pm. Donation $10. 14 years and up.

A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE NURSING HOME Greg Fleet has written an intriguing love story set in a nursing home. It’s all about what happens when a couple of nice people come up with an idea to pretend to be the children of people with dementia to cheer them up! Greg Fleet is a standup comedian. His spellbinding and achingly funny ability to deliver a story onstage has made him legendary in Melbourne where he lives. In recent years Fleety has shown he can do this not just on the stage but on the page as well – with numerous non-fictions offered up over the years. But this time Fleety has done something different.

The man who brought forward some incredibly gritty tales about his battles with addiction has written a beautiful uplifting story about human relationships and how little people can make a big difference.

The Good Son is a warm and charming novel about when to hold on and when to let go.

Greg Fleet joins fellow comedian and writer Mandy Nolan for a conversation at the Drill Hall about his new book. Don’t miss the chance to hear one of the best tall-tale tellers in the flesh.

Wednesday 24 October at the Drill Hall in Mullumbimby at 7pm. Tix are $10 on the door or online at mandynolan.com.au.

WOMEN LIKE US DOING IT FOR THE KIDS! Mandy Nolan and Ellen Briggs are the comedic superstars behind the successful touring show Women Like Us, and they’re coming to Bentley Hall to raise money for the preschool and the Victory Hotel in Mooball for a Burringbar Primary School fundraiser.

With seven kids between them, and more stories than a Liberal Party leadership challenge, Mandy and Ellen are small-town girls who know how to make a big noise. They have taken the raw power of their solo standup and combined forces to create not one but two hours of rapid-fire standup, delivering laughs almost as fast as they deliver babies. It’s relentless, and show after show audience members continue to be amazed that the two cannot only keep the pace, they build throughout the night, bringing audiences to their feet cheering for more.

Women Like Us is standup at its best, where Ellen and Mandy talk about housework, chickens, love, big undies, disappointment, resentment, sex when you’re drunk, fitbits, yoga farts, and being a menopausal woman dealing with teenage angst.

Nov 2 at Bentley Hall for the Bentley Community Preschool. The Victory in Mooball on Nov 3. Doors 6.30pm. Show 8pm. Curries available. Shows $35 Tix on womenlikeus.com.au, and venues

SWEETNESS SKULLS AND LIGHT Sometime ago a wise woman once asked me if I would be satisfied with an ordinary life?. My answer was definitive and true. Absolutely not. Another wise woman once told me to ‘take heed of what you wish for, because universal forces are not constrained by themes of right and wrong and good and bad, they simply are’. I always wanted to be an ‘artist’.

Although, I didn’t want to suffer a complete mind-, body-and spirit-bending catastrophe to do it. Well too bad. Life is the stuff that happens when you are planning something else. So now I am an ‘artist’. And I have proof. A third wise woman said to me recently, ‘You know you were always an artist, right?’

CINEMA REVIEWS WOMAN AT WAR STARS

ENTERTAINMENT

BY JOHN CAMPBELL

If you saw 2015’s outstanding Rams, you will be aware of the significant part played by landscape in Icelandic cinema. Benedikt Erlingsson’s taut, ironic and doggedly optimistic film takes it further by making it and the culture it has spawned the subject of his call to arms. Halla (Halldóra Geirharðsdóttir) is a militant greenie – the first time we see her she is firing an arrow into power poles in order to shutdown a factory. Like a knitting nana on steroids, she is single-handedly taking on the boardroom barons who would ride roughshod over the environment and the traditional ways of life that it has sustained for generations.

In contrast to Halla’s activism, her twin sister Ása is a

touchy-feely yoga teacher who believes that chanting and reciting self-absorbed platitudes can change the world – their incompatible approaches dovetail into a resolution that is wildly contrived but absolutely satisfying. But before that, a media compliant with establishment views portrays Halla as a terrorist and a threat to national security.

As authorities intensify their search for her with drones and helicopters (the US and Israel join the hunt), Halla learns that her application to become an adoptive parent has been approved and that a little girl from Ukraine is on her way to Reykjavik.

Can she be both saboteur and mother? How will she align the personal with

the political? A three-piece combo (tuba, accordion, drums) is present at every crucial moment, playing the part of a Greek chorus, as is a Spanish tourist riding his bicycle, the innocent bystander who can’t help getting caught up in events. It is heartening to be reminded that there are other peoples scattered across our besieged planet who

are waging similar backs-tothe-wall campaigns against the dehumanising, soulless machine of globalisation.

Halla’s fight might never be won, but she and her ilk are not going to die wondering.

We are grateful to the Byron Bay International Film Festival for bringing to town Geirharðsdóttir’s inspiring movie. Don’t miss this one – it’s a beauty.

Mayer, is set in the posh dacha owned by Sorin (Brian Dennehy), a prominent jurist.

When his sister Irina (Annette Bening), an actress of renown, and her lover, Boris (Corey Stoll), a celebrated writer, arrive for a summer break, starstruck Nina (Saoirse Ronin), from a neighbouring estate, is immediately smitten by him. Boris has the easy charm of Tolstoy’s Vronsky, which is bad news for Irina’s doting son Konstantin (Billy Howle).

An indulged young man with literary pretentions who is wont to throw tanties when

ARIES: During Venus retrograde current friendships can flicker to a low flame while past connections resurface unexpectedly. This week could bring to a head the need to decide what’s nonnegotiable for you, with creative modalities and therapies that explore the inner world of relationships particularly beneficial during this transit.

TAURUS: This week examines values: the qualities you value in yourself and those you appreciate in others, along with your signature style of attracting money and friends. And when retro Venus offers sweet seductions in the form of dietary temptations, habitual intoxications and human lures, will you take the bait or resist? Aim for balance.

THE SEAGULL It’s a pretty safe bet with any Russian story written in the nineteenth century that it won’t end in unbridled joy. Or, as Tolstoy famously observed at the beginning of Anna Karenina, every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.’ But that is not to say that the dramas that unfold are not totally absorbing, reflecting the human condition in a manner that has no truck with western cinema’s reluctance to accept disappointment. Anton Chekov’s play, first staged in 1896 and now revived by American director Michael

VENUS ENTERING ITS SIX WEEK RETROGRADE IN SCORPIO IS TRADITIONALLY A RECOMMENDED TIME FOR HOLDING OFF ON COSMETIC SURGERY, RENOVATIONS OR NEW INVESTMENTS…

his genius is not recognised by his elders, for mine he needed a good boot up the arse. Riven by jealousy, his senseless shooting of a seagull is a heartbreaking symbol of love’s tyranny. Complicating matters is the farm manager’s

daughter, Masha (Elizabeth Moss), for she is at the mercy of an unrequited passion for Konstantin and is unabashed in easing her chagrin with alcohol. It is a hand-wringing melodrama, for sure, but Chekov can see deep into his characters’ frailties and desires – more than they can themselves – and with Bening, Ronin and Moss all in top form, it is impossible to not be trapped in the web of relationships. An old fashioned voice-over from the family Doctor (Jon Tenney) tells us of Nina’s later movements and prepares us for the tragic finale. Sumptuously filmed at an estate in forested New York, with veteran designer Ann Roth’s costumes perfectly complementing Mayer’s mise en scène, this provides welcome relief from the subadult dross of the mainstream.

SCORPIO: With Jupiter and retro Venus joined by late week Mercury and the moon all in your sign, it’s time to start despatching energy drainerss and detaching time vampires kindly (why bruise egos and lose future support?) It’s also an auspicious week to put some thought towards a styling upgrade.

GEMINI: As this week searches for pleasing proportions, high standards have a high likelihood of wavering, or at least being severely tested. If you fall off the expectation pedestal, don’t be harsh on yourself: take those resolutions back to the drawing board and figure out a different approach.

You’re an artwork in progress, remember?

SAGITTARIUS: Try as you might to navigate the pushpull polarities of this week’s outer cavorting and innerworld sorting, the reality can be itchy and scratchy, lumpy and bumpy. With astral dynamics stimulating critical tendencies, it’s worth remembering the old saying that when judgment comes in the door, love flies out the window.

CANCER: Cancerians have a natural affinity with the past, and currently Venus asks: Is your personal history ripe for a reframe? That said, planetary emphasis in Cancer’s entertainment area suggests this week Crabs just wanna have fun: too easy with Venus in sultry Scorpio and bargain-hunting, your favourite sport, certain to be successful.

CAPRICORN: When this week kicks off the forty day retrograde of Venus, you might find history repeating as the astral imperative questions friendships, examines values and gives lessons in money, love, pleasure, spending and who’s got the power. Along with the understanding of why some people aren’t part of your life any more.

LEO: Conversations may tend towards the intense concerning your domestic sector and a push for improvement there.

Clarity’s required, but old ideas, strong emotional attachment or kneejerk reactions can cloud it.

While the vibes from Libra new moon of equilibrium still linger, best focus on reconfiguring your personal jigsaw to a more harmonious arrangement.

VIRGO: With Venus retrograde putting Virgo family and friendships under review, try not to take life’s small but poignant pains too personally. As this cycle of reflection and reconnection brings both closures and renewal to your meticulous sign, trust that current frustrations are paving the way to a breakthrough.

44 October 10, 2018 The Byron Shire Echo

LIBRA: As this week’s sun, Mercury and new moon in Libra celebrate the beginning of your personal astro-year, Venus retrograde adds emphasis to the strong notes in your finance zone cautioning against overspending. So research purchases carefully and resist splurging – if anyone can actually make budgeting look like economic elegance, it’s you.

AQUARIUS: Results are our clearest and most specific teachers, so if you’re getting what you want on the job and in personal interactions, congratulations. If not, you might want to consider tweaking your presentation skills this week, which has a cornucopia of social activities to practise on and receive feedback from.

PISCES: With planets in deepwater Scorpio occupying a significant slice of this week’s zodiac pie, the world of Pisces opens up and extends its borders towards new horizons. Blasts from the past, compelling invitations to travel and a totally unexpected proposal to revive an old creative venture are all on the star cards.

We all know how heartbreaking it is when your companion animal goes missing. Microchipping your companion animal is necessary in order to help find your pet. On the day, there will be no limit on how many companion animals per household. Dogs and cats will be separated but please bring all dogs on leads and cats in carry cages. A registered implanter will be doing the chipping, we will be there to assist and to explain the process, and Byron Shire Council officers will be there to answer any questions you may have.

Only $5 per dog or cat Registration fees still apply, for example $57 desexed, $24 concession Saturday 27th October 2018 from 9am to 2pm Venue: the food hall, Mullumbimby Showgrounds, Chinbible Ave entrance Animal Welfare League NSW – North Coast Branch

Local youth football gets elite program

Byron Bay Football Club has become the first regional club in New South Wales to establish a high-performance program to be launched in 2019.

The new program is the first of its kind outside the big cities and is modelled on the A-League Academy programs run by clubs such as Western Sydney Wanderers and Sydney FC. In a far north coast first, youth coaches at Byron Bay will sign contracts worth up to $2,000 as Byron Bay FC looks to attract the region’s best to work with players aged 13 to 16 years old.

Byron Bay will run eight junior teams in the program with boys and girls catered for.

These teams will provide a development pathway not only to Byron’s Summer Youth League and senior teams, but also to NPL and A-League clubs in the cities.

‘We want to help identify and develop talented players in the far north coast and help them on their way to

becoming professional footballers,’ said Chris Layland, Byron Bay FC youth technical director.

‘Players from the country are born with the same talent and potential as city kids but lack the opportunity and high-performance coaching that youth need to make it on the big stage.’

Layland, who is also assistant coach of the NSW U/13 team this year, says that the seeds of the new program were sown late last year when two of their players moved into elite football in Sydney.

‘We organised for Sam Shepherd to trial with Western Sydney Wanderers and for Hari Scott to trial and play pre-season with Sydney Olympic. Sam ended up signing for the Wanderers and scored goals in their victorious U/20s team all season.

‘If we can begin high-level development and identification at an early age these kinds of success stories will be a regular thing – not just one-offs,’ he said.

Bowlers flourish in Byron Bay XI’s season opening win The Byron Bay second grade cricketers collected a win playing away against Murwillumbah at Rabjones Oval.

Byron’s new recruit Drew Kimmorley (1/32) struck in his first over and from there it was a steady procession of batters as the home side struggled to get momentum in the damp conditions.

First change bowlers Toby Schott (4/11) and Levi Shouldice (3/20) showed their experience while Brady Furhmann (1/20) and George Worthington (1/21) both chimed in.

Murwillumbah were all out for 105 off 26 overs.

Byron batsmen took over and passed the total in 26 overs from their allotted 40.

Opener Owen Dellian was

unbeaten on 53 at the end of the match.

The other not out bat was Mitch Loane on 25. Darren Wright hit up a quick-fire 17 runs off five shots opening with Owen, while Jason Trisley made his debut and scored eight runs.

Byron Bay were last year’s joint premiers.

The side travels to Lenox Head’s home ground in Meegan Crescent this Saturday.

The season for the Byron Bay third grade side commences this weekend with a match away against Alstonville.

The sponsors for Byron’s two senior sides, The Cellars and L J Hooker Byron Bay, are back onboard this year.

Lennox Head surfers charge on

The Lennox Head All Girls Surfriders held their September club round over the weekend and they were met with warm weather and beautiful clean one-metre waves.

‘We held two banks at Lennox Beach and made the most of the delightful conditions before the NE wind kicked in and the tide dropped. Well done to the junior intermediates who surfed their final in the depleted low-tide waves but made it look amazing,’ Natalie Grono said.

Gromsearch Nyxie and Dembe Ryan, along with fellow Lennox Head surfer Jai Glinderman, have returned from the cold waters of Victoria with trophies after great performances and podium finishes in the finals at the opening event of the Rip Curl Gromsearch se-

ries held at Torquay Point on Victoria’s Surf Coast.

Nyxie was runner-up in the 16 girls, while Dembe and Jai came third and fourth respectively in the 14 boysdivision.

With wind-swept one-metre waves on offer at the backup location of Torquay Point, competitors were challenged in the slopey right-handers and shifty lineup.

After the five-event series, the top-10-ranked surfers in each division qualify for the Rip Curl GromSearch National Final, where athletes compete for the chance to become the Australian GromSearch Champion.

The National Champion will then represent Australia against the best junior surfers from around the world at the Rip Curl GromSearch International Final, held at a new international location each year.

Bulla and the boys win triples at Byron

Backlash While the common theory is that all the girls go after the same man in guppy world new research reveals that female guppy fish are highly selective when it comes to choosing the father of their babies. If they were allowed to mate naturally the preferred male was the one who fathered most of her offspring.

When artificially inseminated paternity was shared more evenly.
