It’s part of a bigger expansion, and six Sunpods will be soon available in the Northern Rivers from Coolangatta to Byron.

Launching in December 2016, Sunshine Cycles founder Luke Young says they received an enthusiastic response in their first year, but after moving from their central

They are easy and fun to ride and with a range of over 50km, plenty for exploring the area.

The new system uses Bluetooth for bike access via the app and GPS tracking. ‘We have a full call-out service, and our hope is to get more people out enjoying the beauty of Australia

A 20-year strategy aimed at opening up land to business and industrial development will be tabled at this Thursday’s Council meeting, with rural land and CBDs evaluated by staff across Mullumbimby, Brunswick Heads, Ocean Shores, Bangalow, Byron Bay, and Billinudgel.

Extensive recommendations by staff within their Employment Lands Strategy (ELS) report have significant implications for future development/employment and biodiversity credentials for the Shire.

A staff push to abolish the building height limit of 11.5m (page 366) was met with opposition from public submissions. As a result, investigating an increase in building height up to 11.5m in Mullumbimby, Bangalow, and Brunswick Heads business centres will be removed from the strategy, along with the Byron Town Centre.

Other areas of the Shire are not mentioned. A new action was suggested, which is to ‘undertake an urban design review to determine appropriate building heights.’ Additionally, a ‘number of submissions raised matters concerning the currency, accuracy, and presentation of the data in the background report and ELS’.

Staff replied that technical data could be corrected or updated. ‘In revising, the information for the [town] centres there is a â–ś Continued on page 2

West Byron and Sunnybrand planning proposals are included, despite two West Byron DAs being rejected by the NRPP (formally the JRPP).

The NSW office of environment and heritage (OEH) said key considerations for the area include, ‘flora and fauna, acid sulfate soils, coastal wetland with a high water table, and wildlife corridors’.

A proposed Bangalow industrial area extension, located on the northern side of Lismore Road and which adjoins the existing industrial area to the south is supported by staff. Another Bangalow industrial area extension proposal, located adjacent on Lismore Road, needed further investigation, say staff.

Developing land east of Banaglow was unsupported by the NSW planning department and community groups.

The feedback from Bangalow was that ‘a new supermarket is not needed’ and local food industries and farmers markets at all Shire centres should be supported instead.

Mullumbimby lands examined included a Manns Road lot, located west of the industry estate, and a 1ha parcel opposite Manns Road on Mullumbimby Road. A service station was proposed by the landowner, yet that was rejected by staff owing to ‘combined site constraints [including being flood prone]

Saddle Road land was included into the strategy after public submissions closed, and Council staff have not explained why it was accepted. and isolation from the existing Mullumbimby urban area’.

Land near the Tyagarah highway interchange (Gulgan West and East) located near the Mevlana Estate generated mixed views, say staff.

Further investigations into koala habitats and wildlife corridors, landscape buffers, and flooding constraints will need to be addressed.

As for Ocean Shores, staff suggest investigating an increase in floorspace ratio (currently 0.75:1) ‘to encourage redevelopment of OS centre.’

In Billinudgel, an extension of the southern precinct is proposed, while ‘a reduced footprint encompassing unconstrained land to the north of the proposed lot is supported.’

As for Brunswick Heads, staff say there were ‘mixed views on [the] concept to consolidate [the CBD] or change to the business zone in Fingal Street south’.

There was no support for an increase in [building] heights. But staff say there was some support for ‘investigating an increase in floorspace ratio (FSR) in the B4 area (Tweed Street) up to 0.65:1 (currently 0.5:1) in order to incentivise small businesses and live/work opportunities.’

Saddle Road land late inclusion A surprise late inclusion into the Employment Lands Strategy was lands at Saddle Road, which is owned by Kelvin and Skai Daly.

After Council invited them to submit their Bruns Eco Village (BEV) proposal, which led to subsequent plans to urbanise almost all of the ridgline, the plans folded after being rejected by Council.

Staff recommended approval of some of the Saddle Road land into the Employment Lands Strategy, located between Saddle Road and the highway interchange (Lot 2 DP 1159910).

A proposal by the applicant for lands located in lower areas, which straddle either side of Gulgan Road near the interchange, was rejected by staff.

The Echo asked staff why the late inclusion was accepted, and ‘doesn’t this conflict with and undermine the process leading to the Employment Lands Strategy?’

Staff did not reply to those questions and instead said, ‘As this land was only recently submitted for inclusion in the strategy there has not been time for staff to undertake

consultation with the community or state agencies’.

‘Therefore the recommendations in the report include provision for additional engagement focusing on part of Lot 2 DP 1159910.

‘If approved by Council at the planning meeting on June 20, staff will undertake this engagement prior to the final Employment Lands Strategy being reported back to Council. Staff will then provide a recommendation to Council about this land’.

The Echo asked landowner Kelvin Daly why he applied for late inclusion into the Employment Lands Strategy. Kelvin’s wife Skai told The Echo, ‘With respect to the inclusion of the submission, Council’s process has been followed correctly’.

‘If I understand the strategy process, this is a merit-based system and, at the moment, the areas in question have sufficient merit to be explored further.

‘The suitability of the site was confirmed during the planning proposal. The site has only become visible to Council once the planning proposal was rejected.

‘This site now falls within the merit-based system of the Land and Employment Strategy to support a number of Shire initiatives, such as the Regional Produce Exchange. Work and gainful employment adjacent to a bus route providing 24 bus movements a day, midweek, is important.

‘We certainly do not intend that our property will become an industrial estate.

‘Precinct A is less than 10 per cent of the total land and Precinct B and C is a further 16 per cent.

‘The community consultation will run the length of the process, when the picture becomes clearer’.

Skai added ‘We are only at the beginning of the strategy process’.

US climate journalist speaks June 26 Award-winning climate journalist Dahr Jamail will present a talk at the Mullumbimby Civic Hall on June 26 from 7pm.

The moderator will be Catherine Ingram.

Organisers say Jamail spent a decade as a war correspondent and was one of the first reporters on the ground in Iraq to denounce the war as an illegal invasion.

‘Initially vilified by the

mainstream press, he went on to win numerous prestigious awards for journalism, including the 2018 Izzy Award, considered the highest honour for independent journalism in the USA. ‘For the past five years, Jamail has concentrated almost exclusively on climate disruption and has become one the foremost climate journalists in the world.

‘His talk will be based

on his current climate dispatches and some of the key points in his recent book, The End of Ice: Bearing Witness and Finding Meaning in the Path of Climate Disruption.

(It is not only about the loss of ice.) We will also use this opportunity to begin a discussion about local resilience in the Byron and Ballina shires’.

Mullum gets vocal over 5G rollout Hundreds of rowdy and rhythmic protesters rallied on Thursday morning outside the Council Chambers in Mullum to call for a moratorium on the rollout of the latest 5G wireless technology.

Tashi Lhamo from the Stop 5G Northern Rivers NSW Facebook group told the lively crowd that the group has attracted over 1,700 members in five weeks.

She told the crowd it was great to see such a vocal and strong support and that ‘Silence is consent.’

The aim of the group, she says, is to raise awareness of the impacts. ‘Do your own research,’ she said.

‘We call for a moratorium and independent safety testing. The main concerns are health, safety, and a lack of consultation from government agencies and the telcos’.

There is a lack of peerreview studies, she added.

‘We call on Council, government, and telcos to apply the precautionary principle with rolling out new technologies such as this’.

Regulator’s stance The regulator for the industry is The Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety

Deb Lilley with protesters outside Council Chambers last Thursday. Photo Jeff Dawson Agency (ARPANSA), that describes itself as the ‘Australian Government’s primary authority on radiation protection and nuclear safety’.

The Echo asked ARPANSA where it receives its funding from. A spokesperson replied, ‘ARPANSA receives approximately 52 per cent of its revenue from government appropriation and the remaining 48 per cent through own-source revenue which includes cost-recovery arrangements for our regulatory services and other fee-for-service activities’.

‘ARPANSA does not receive any funding from the telecommunication industry’.

Lhamo told the crowd that the disclaimer on ARPANSA’s website absolves it of responsibility for its advice.

ARPANSA’s online disclaimer reads, ‘ARPANSA does not accept any liability for any injury, loss or damage incurred by use of or reliance on the information provided on this website’.

While ARPANSA’s website concedes public ‘concerns of adverse health effects’ of 5G, it says, ‘our understanding of

the evidence of health effects and the need for more research have not changed.’

The World Health Organisation (www.bit. ly/2JWhVb8) says the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified radiofrequency electromagnetic fields as possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B), a category used when a causal association is considered credible, but when chance, bias, or confounding cannot be ruled out with reasonable confidence.

Marine Park Authority, Crown Lands and Arakwal Corp representatives next week to discuss mitigation options for future opening events.

Flood and drainage engineer James Flockton said the decision was made owing to flooding in residents’ yards and the Suffolk Park footpath.

Opening the mouth of Tallow Creek is strictly controlled and can only be done with support from relevant authorities, he said.

Flockton says Belongil Creek often opens naturally to the ocean, but there are times when there is a buildup of sand, so the creek is closed for periods resulting in flooding in the catchment.

The creek is called an Intermittently Closed and Open Lake/Lagoon (ICOLL).

Yet Pugh says, ‘At the time there was no rain, and thus it was certain that without inflows of fresh oxygenated water, the draining would

result in water becoming deoxygenated and fish suffocating. This has occurred time and time again.’

Mr Pugh claims that as recently as March 1, Council killed thousands of fish in Belongil Creek when they opened it without rain.

A draft strategy to manage Belongil’s intermittently closed and open lake/lagoon is on public exhibition until June 28 and available online at www.byron.nsw.gov.au.

John gets on the good oil

BOOK ONLINE

Story & photo Eve Jeffery John Carr is 83 and was diagnosed with aggressive stage 3 small cell lung cancer at the start of April this year.

Further testing saw him given a prognosis of three months to live at the start of May. John had his first round of chemo before his daughter Danni took matters into her own hands.

New Brighton residents Danni Carr and partner Ash Grunwald say the shock of John’s diagnosis galvanised them into action. ‘As soon as we found out, we got our hands on all the cannabis oil we could,’ says Danni.

‘We read a lot of stuff about cannabis oil because we were told he basically had no hope and that chemo would give him only an extra six months to live.’

Danni says when John was first diagnosed in April, he was coughing all the time, short of breath and needed a lot of oxygen.

‘Currently, he is not coughing, he’s not using the oxygen, he’s got colour in his face, he’s

Danni says that John’s oncologist didn’t know much about cannabis oil but, after a recent examination, wants to find out more. He told John he wants to see him in a few months’ time. When John mentioned that his original diagnosis had him dead in a few months, the oncologist responded, ‘I don’t think so.’

John and wife Sue are currently towing their caravan up

the east coast on a road trip to visit Danni and Ash. Convinced of the benefits of CBD oil, Danni is hosting a screening of High As Mike, a movie about medical cannabis and Mike’s journey of discovery around Australia.

After 14 years of struggle, Byron Dog Rescue (formerly CAWI) is about to realise their dream of opening a rescue centre with the purchase of a property in Mullumbimby.

Joint presidents of Byron Dog Rescue, Jean Conway and Cindy Chow, want to acknowledge the long and dedicated efforts of the whole CAWI team towards reaching this stage in achieving the dream of creating a rescue centre in the Byron Shire.

‘Without the teamwork and endless support of our volunteers, along with the generous donations of our community, we would not have been able to take this first giant step,’ said Jean Conway.

What we’re actually doing is we’re putting a solar ‘roof’ on some of the Council carpark next to our offices and the Mullum Library. The roof will be solar panels that will cover approximately 40 parking spaces, providing some shade for cars but, more importantly, generating enough power to offset around a quarter of the daily electricity used in the Council building.

Mullumbimby Showground Land Manager Ever wondered who is responsible for keeping Crown reserves operating?

Countless facilities like showgrounds, local halls and parks are run by Statutory Land Manager Boards, made up of people just like you. People who understand the need and have a desire to manage public land and assets for the benefit of the entire community.

Your role as a Board member is voluntary, but the rewards of giving something back to the community are priceless.

It’s a terrific project that will help us in our quest to have 100% net zero emissions by 2025. There’s another bonus for those of you who drive electric vehicles: with a publicuse electric vehicle charging station to be installed in the carpark. This is the way of the future and we’re getting there. Add this project to our recent decision to fund a study and preparation of plans for a five megawatt solar farm next to our Resource Recovery Centre at Myocum and there’s some real momentum in what Council is doing in the alternative energy space and it’s really exciting. At a time when the concern for climate change is at an all-time high in our community these are great projects that will benefit our Shire for many decades to come.

We are looking for a good mix of people with a variety of skills, however, sound business and financial management skills and objective decision-making expertise would be a distinct advantage.

Don’t let this opportunity to do something for yourself and your community pass you by – contact us today.

The Mullumbimby Showground Land Manager manages the Reserve No. 540009 at Mullumbimby notified on 29 November 1929 for Showground. The term of appointment will be for a period not exceeding 5 years.

I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge our Manager of Works, Tony Nash, who died suddenly last week. Tony was very popular with staff and councillors, loved his work and was passionate about the Byron Shire and its residents. He will be greatly missed by all of us at Council and our thoughts are with his family.

Adding to the coffers, the staff of the Brunswick Heads branch of the Commonwealth Bank nominated Byron Dog Rescue for a donation of $500.

!şŔŔ ëŕŊ ĎşŕëƐĕƆ Ɛş ĈëƖƆĕ ‘We’re very excited to have the opportunity to support the Byron Dog Rescue,’ said Alice Taylor, Commonwealth Bank branch manager.

The CAWI op shop, founded by Margaret Brown in 2004 as a registered charity, has been instrumental in providing the basis of fundraising efforts towards the rescue centre.

Jean said, ‘Add to that, the generous donations from our

local community, the sale of donated goods, and the huge efforts of all of our volunteers who have given of their time, their hearts, and their caring to give assistance not only in the shop, but on the front line of providing loving foster homes for our rescues.

‘Thank you, too, to those dedicated people who have mingled with the community at various venues, rattling those collection buckets come rain or shine.

‘Also, a big thankyou to those behind the scenes who do the administrative work such as social media and organisation.

‘They will all continue to play a vital role in our efforts.

‘The purchase of this property will give us a big foot in the door towards providing a centre to oversee our rescue and rehoming efforts,’ says Jean.

Council’s DA for preschool riles neighbour Neighbourhood Centre receives grant A Suffolk Park resident has told The Echo that Council’s plans to ‘double the capacity’ of a neighbouring preschool come with inadequate privacy or noise abatement measures.

Beech Drive resident Bruce Peters claims issues arose when Council built the preschool behind his home around six years ago.

He said, ‘I viewed the advertised DA [at the time] and it specified a ‘singlestorey building’. [The DA] failed to disclose, however, that the single storey was going to be built on an elevated platform’.

‘The advertised DA that I viewed also had a row of trees along the fence line on the preschool side of the fence, which were never planted.

And now Council say it never existed on the original plan.

‘When I enquired about the lack of trees after the final Council DA was signed off by Council, the response I got was, as the plan had been signed off, “what you see is what you get”.’

‘This year, Council seeks to double the capacity of the preschool and remove a tree, and again there is nothing

The view from Bruce Peters’s home. Photo supplied in the DA about planting for privacy or noise abatement… just the opposite, if you view the site plan. It refers to “existing dense screen planting on adjoining property” which does not exist.

Tree removal ‘For a council that promotes the environment and harmony, it’s a wonder that the DA seeks to remove a tree, yet is silent on planting any trees.

'Further, a noise study was commissioned six years ago, which proved to be not worth the paper it’s printed on. Trucks arrive early in the morning with deliveries to the preschool prior to dawn, with refrigeration units

disturbing the peace.

'In the new plan, a play yard will be built right behind our house and no plan for noise reduction exists in the proposed DA’.

Council staff were asked to comment and did not refute the claims. Instead they replied, ‘The development application for an extension to the Byron Bay Preschool at Suffolk Park was on exhibition from 11 April 2019 to 1 May 2019 and Council staff are now reviewing the DA and will take into account all submissions and issues raised. The DA will be reported to Council.

‘Community-based, not-for-profit preschools like the Byron Bay Preschool play an important part in early childhood education in the Byron Shire and there is great demand for these services, which are provided

by Council and managed by parent committees’.

Frustrated by Council’s 'lack of procedural fairness' with DAs, Peters erected a sign on his roof which reads ‘If you can read this sign it’s because Byron Shire Council doesn’t care about our privacy or noise reduction.’

Award-winning climate journalist

Paul Bibby The Mullumbimby District Neighbourhood Centre is set to go mobile after receiving a $20,000 grant from local job provider ETC. The centre will use the funds to purchase a mobile stall so it can engage with the broader Byron community.

Acting centre manager Leseera Kai said the stall,

which will also provide reasonably priced, good-quality coffee and snacks, would be an invaluable tool for building relationships with the community.

‘There are parts of the Shire where there really isn't a great deal of community engagement, and this is a great opportunity for us to reach those areas,’ Ms Kai said.

‘We'll be able to connect

with people and to put them in contact with services and support if they need, but also just build relationships with the community.

‘It's also a great chance for volunteers and students to get some real, on-theground experience of community outreach work.

We're really excited about this and really grateful for the opportunity’.

SeaChange supports Marine Rescue Eve Jeffery If you didn’t know SeaChange MKII is filming around the Shire, well, now you do. While the cast and crew re-create ‘Pearl Bay’, John Howard is reprising his role as Bob Jelly. Howard is also lending his support to the fundraising efforts of a local volunteer organisation.

John will emcee the Brunswick Heads Marine Rescue’s inaugural ‘Sink or Swing’ event at the Brunswick Picture House, who are also major sponsors of the event.

SeaChange has recently been filming around Brunswick Heads, including

scenes filmed in the Marine Rescue tower on south wall.

Marine Rescue NSW has undertaken over 50 rescue operations in 2019 in waters between Tweed and Ballina and Unit Commander David Parkinson says they don’t ever want to see anyone sink, but they would love to have the community come along to swing.

‘Community support is vital to keeping this service operational,’ he said. ‘We are delighted to have John join us as emcee.’

The event will include music by Swing On In. ‘Some of the dances you can look forward to include the Lindy

Hop and the Charleston.’

Parkinson says there’s no need to be shy. ‘Sink or Swing is about having fun.

‘You don’t need to know the dance moves to come along.

The Swing On In dance crew will be there to show you the steps.’

Sink or Swing starts at 6pm on Saturday 22 June at the Brunswick Picture House.

Tickets are $50 each, available from the Brunswick Picture House. All proceeds from the event will go to Brunswick Heads Marine Rescue.

Local News High-value native bush trashed by doof party-goers Energy bill help An important site within Arakwal National Park for both Indigenous cultural importance and conservation significance was trashed after an illegal party last weekend, say NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS).

NPWS staff say they were left to clean up the ‘disgraceful aftermath of an illegal dance party on Sunday morning June 16’.

‘Native vegetation was trampled, and tree branches had been cut for an illegal fire and to make space for the party. Equipment, rubbish,

clothing, and human waste products were strewn throughout an area of bush next to Tallow Creek’, they said.

‘The area is used as a refuge by threatened shorebirds, and as habitat and a food source for other native wildlife. National Parks are established for the protection of these special places and the species they support.

‘Unauthorised large-scale events are prohibited owing to the damage and disturbance they cause to the environment, as well as safety concerns for the participants

Paul Spooner quits as Byron Community Centre GM Byron Community Centre general manager (GM) Paul Spooner has announced his resignation.

Cr Spooner is also a councillor, but says he will stay on in that role until September next year.

He told The Echo that ‘after spending ten wonderful years as the general manager (GM) of Byron Bay Community Association, I have decided it’s time to move on and allow a new generation of leadership to continue the valuable work of this amazing community organisation’.

He said, ’I would like to thank all the many hundreds of volunteers, staff, management and financial contributors to the work of the Byron Community Centre for their wonderful support during my time at BCC’.

‘I am intending to serve out my remaining term as a Byron Shire councillor and remain a board member of the newly formed affordablehousing group Byron Community Land Limited’.

and surrounding community.

It can take years for a site to recover, and sometimes irreversible damage is caused, especially when threatened species are involved.

‘Several illegal dance parties have occurred at Tallow Beach within the last few months. NPWS has fined some of the organisers of past events and is now calling for help from the community to prevent further damage occurring.’

People can assist by reporting to Crimestoppers 1800 333 000.

A free, face-to-face support session to help with energy accounts and related issues will be held June 21 at the Kentwell Community Centre, located at 20 Bangalow Road, Ballina, from 10am till 3pm.

The event will be run by the Energy & Water Ombudsman NSW, in partnership with Northern Rivers Community Gateway.

‘That being said, we have a very competent team in place to manage the Centre over the next three months, and a management committee that has all the skills needed to recruit Paul’s replacement’.

Selecting a new permanent general manager is now underway, he added, with Kate Hardmen currently in the acting GM role until August.

Plant a tree, June 29 Doing your bit to help the conservation of koalas can be as easy as planting trees to provide a food source for these lovely furry creatures.

Bangalow Koalas is calling for volunteers to come to a working bee planned for Ewingsdale.

The aim is to put 1,500 trees in the ground, which will eventually help feed koalas and help provide part of a corridor.

There is no weeding, digging, or whipper-snipping required. Co-organiser Linda Sparrow says the plants will go into pre-dug

holes with mulch.

For your efforts there will be a sausage sizzle thanks to Bangalow Lions and sandwiches thanks to Julie Frankham.

The planting is located at 199 Myocum Road, Ewingsdale on June 29 for a 9am start. Bring trowels, drinking water, sunscreen, long sleeves, long pants, and gloves. For more email Linda Sparrow on twodogsmedia@ optusnet.com.au.

Protecting tropical rainforests, which absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen, is one of the best ways to maintain a breathable atmosphere and animal biodiversity.

Mullumbimby-based Rainforest 4 Foundation is hoping to purchase a pristine one-hectare lot for the incredibly low price of $25,000, because its current owners share the foundation’s commitment to protect it forever.

The land at 107 Buchanan Creek Road, Cow Bay, is totally covered by 82 tropical rainforest plant species; it has no weeds or clearings, and offers vital habitat for the endangered Southern Cassowary and the Bennetts Treekangaroo. It also connects to the Daintree National Park in multiple directions.

Permanent protection for this hectare will be achieved upon purchase when the land can be transferred to the Queensland Government for inclusion in the Daintree National Park.

Rainforest 4 founder and CEO Kelvin Davies says he

Kelvin Davies at Lot 107 Buchanan Creek Road in the Daintree. Photo Dave Pinson couldn’t let this opportunity pass by. ‘A contract of sale has been exchanged and a deposit of $1,250 has been paid,’ he said. ‘The only challenge we now have is to settle on the purchase in July, 2019. To do that we must raise the full amount by June 30.’

$20k target Davies says that so far just over $5,000 has been raised. ‘This leaves us a very short window of time in which to raise the remaining target amount of almost $20,000.’ he said. ‘For every $2.50 donation we receive, we can save

one square metre of the Daintree. A donation of $50 will save 20 square metres of this World Heritage value Daintree Rainforest.’ By enlisting the support of donors over the past 20 years, Mr Davies said that the foundation has contributed to the purchase of 40 properties in the Daintree. ‘I know it’s a tight deadline, but I also know there are many people who’d love to donate to help us to secure this Buchanan Road land for posterity.’ For further information on how to donate, contact Kelvin on 0437 423 119 or kelvin@rainforest4.org.

Local News Artists support Mongolia’s UNESCO application Eve Jeffery Lake Khuvsgul is one of seventeen ancient lakes on Earth.

It is pristine and the most significant drinking water reserve of Mongolia – its water is potable without any treatment.

Six Northern Rivers artists will travel to Mongolia in July to perform in support of a UNESCO World Heritage application to protect the lake.

Local artists Cye Woo, Jennifer and Brandon Casidy, Ben Mcquocodale, Alice Casidy, and Jason Ghazal are among 50 artists, musicians, and activists from around the world who will come together during Mongolia’s national Naadam festival to perform, paint, and raise awareness of the dangers that coal mining poses to this sacred lake.

Jennifer and Brandon Casidy are two of six local artists who will travel to Mongolia in July to perform in support of a UNESCO World Heritage application to protect a precious and pristine lake. Photo supplied agreements with the Mongolian government to mine the area; however, railway lines to transport the ore have not yet been built.

Several NGOs working within Mongolia plan on applying for UNESCO world heritage listing for the lake and surrounding wilderness area to protect the natural and cultural heritage of the lake region.

As it's a landlocked country,

Mongolians refer to lake Khovsgol as ‘Mother Ocean’ as a sign of deep respect.

Mother Ocean Eco Arts Tour The tour is consequently named ‘Mother Ocean Eco Arts Tour’ and will go for two weeks, beginning on July 4.

While the artists have all paid for their own airfares, Byron Shire business

Superfeast has donated funds to help accommodate, feed, and transport the artists while in Mongolia.

The modest fundraising needs of the tour have not yet been met, however, so if you wish to support this initiative, or to follow the progress of these artists on the tour, you can like the official tour Facebook page at www.facebook.com/ motheroceantour.

Two decades on, and Deb still loves her job Mandy Nolan Not many people stay in one job for very long any more.

That’s not the case for Youth Worker Deb Pearse, who celebrates 20 years as the Mullumbimby Byron Youth Service (BYS) Cottage and Street Cruise co-ordinator.

‘This is the longest I’ve ever done anything,’ she laughs. ‘Longer than I was at school, or lived with my family!’

Two decades ago, Deb had decided after five years of working in drug and alcohol that she would do an advanced diploma in alcohol and other drugs.

And during that time, she realised she wanted to work with young people.

‘I love working with young people, because they are so open – they are actually easy to work with in many ways.

If they are angry or upset, generally speaking they will tell you, unlike adults, who can be upset with you for two years before they tell you what you did! The ones that have challenged me the most are those who keep coming back to see me. I love seeing their fantastic relationships now; they have babies and jobs. It’s really rewarding.’

Ironically, Deb almost didn’t apply for the job at Byron Youth Service (BYS) Mullumbimby Cottage because she didn’t think she’d get it. It was the encouragement of a friend that got her to submit her application. It led to a job that has seen her change many lives and create a

One in a million Her co-workers speak extremely highly of her, with Stephanie Sims saying, ‘She has an open, non-judgmental, friendly personality that young people are attracted to and feel safe with’. BYS projects co-ordinator Rosalie Bryant says, ‘Deb is one in a million. Few people have her level of dedication to their work in their community'.

For Deb, a lot has changed since she started, but her commitment to young people and her passion for working in community remains the same.

‘When I started working, it was a lot easier because there are so many more rules and regulations these days,’ says Deb. ‘I get the safety requirements, but things have swung a bit far the other way and I think sometimes it doesn’t always serve

the best interests of young people. They need to feel safe, but they also need to feel they can be themselves, to ask questions, cry, be silly, get angry… in the old days, if a group arrived and they were a bit ratty, I could throw them in the car and go down to Brunswick Heads, buy them some fish and chips and walk and talk. Now you can’t do that.’

The Mullumbimby Cottage services around 40 people every week in daily programs and drop in.

Finding passion ‘For me, it’s always been about finding what their passion is. What makes them feel loved, what makes them feel good, and then trying to meet that need. You watch their self-esteem improve, they get a good peer support structure and over time they really find their feet.’

Deb believes that young people need intervention

or programs much earlier.

‘Its crucial’ she says. ‘By the time they are 15 or 16 and off-track, it’s much harder to pull them back again'.

But it’s not just the youth work that has kept Deb on the frontline for 20 years.

‘What’s kept me doing youth work is the young people, but also the amazing people I’ve worked with over the years,’ says Deb. ‘We have a great team at the moment and a committed and involved board of management.

‘I’ve have worked with Rosalie and Steph for around 15 and 12 years respectively, and we’ve been through a lot together. I couldn’t have come this far without them and lots of other people including a few great managers like Di Mahoney and Paul Spooner'.

Union boss strengthens coalition’s polls The Byron Shire Echo Volume 34 #02 • June 19, 2019

A planned planning meet Interested in where the community is headed with development and planning?

It’s all happening this Thursday at the Mullum Council chambers from 9am, where the morning will be spent with the public providing sage advice and otherwise for Council.

Afterwards, councillors will steam ahead with fulfilling the state government requirement to develop, develop, develop.

Will our Sydney-based bureaucratic overlords never be satisfied?

As any Council watcher would know by now, the Greens’ majority within Council no longer have any environmental credibility (if they ever did). This majority lurches aimlessly about like the previous pro-development majority of 2012– 2016, and are firmly within the grip of staff and their sometimes questionable reports and planning decisions.

But moving on – perhaps the two most significant items in the long agenda are the Employment Lands Strategy (see page 1), and a rural event site policy, which is a potential conflict minefield for those who value a quiet rural amenity and those wanting to monetise their, um, quiet rural amenity (see letters page 15).

Another item of significance is inclusion of manor houses and multi-dwelling housing (terraces) into Council’s planning instruments. Pushed by the state government, it’s a great new avenue for developers to create high density in residential zones which may lead to – you guessed it – more land-use conflict. Who wouldn’t want a massive manor house or terrace plonked next door?

As Council staff have not received a response from the state government for an extension to their original extension, nervous staff suggest, ‘Preparation of a planning proposal to introduce minimum lot size controls for these new development types’. What would be helpful but not specified from the staff recommendation are the legal implications of this massive change in planning policy.

On a brighter note, Council will vote upon a Community Significant Development policy, which provides some level of protection against inappropriate development.

The trigger is ‘requiring developers to consult with members of the community who are likely to be affected by a proposed “major development” prior to lodgement of a development application’.

A very large tallowwood tree in Mullum’s Tallowood Ridge Estate will get voted on.

And lastly but not only, an Integrated Pest Management Strategy will also be before councillors, which includes what pesticides are used by Council staff and where. The report states that pesticide use has ceased ‘in all children’s playgrounds, formal bus stops, town and village centres, on roadsides and 15 of 23 sports fields’.

Is it a significant achievement from where we were previously? Staff say it is. You decide, Thursday from 9am.

Hans Lovejoy, editor

f John Setka did not exist, the coalition would have invented him.

But fortunately he does exist, so it’s just a matter of slapping on a few bells and whistles, dimming the lights and turning up the spooky music, and hey presto!

The abrasive trade unionist is transformed into the demon prince, a bogey man designed to scare small children and gullible swinging voters.

Setka is far from a model citizen: long before he pleaded guilty to harassment, he had a long record of belligerent and abusive behaviour, often breaking the rules as a militant defender of what he saw as the legitimate rights of his constituent workers.

He has been a target of the conservative right for some years, and in the process has morphed into something far more menacing than the Victorian secretary of the Construction, Forestry, Maritime, Mining and Energy Union (CFMMEU).

For neo-Liberals, indeed the entire capitalist class, Setka has become a symbol of everything they hate and fear about the union movement.

It is not just the CFMMEU, although that is the largest and most obvious threat to their comfortable dominance.

It is about breaking down the entire basis of collective action, reducing unions to mere individuals who can never effectively oppose the far greater resources of the employers.

And since the Labor Party is – or at least used to be – the political arm of the trade union movement, the supposed sins of John Setka can be seamlessly grafted on to the ALP leader of the time.

One of the constant refrains of the last three years has been the accusation that the CFMMEU was Bill Shorten’s paymaster, and because John Setka was an official of the rogue organisation, and was frequently notorious, especially in the pages of the Murdoch press, then the entire apparatus of opposition was illegitimate, if not actually corrupt.

So when the current dispute over whether Setka should be expelled from the CFMMEU or the Labor Party or preferably both hit the headlines, Scott Morrison and his media myrmidons couldn’t believe their luck.

Not only did the controversy provide a very welcome distraction from the media furore over the AFP raids on

journalism, but it allowed them to ramp up a still more virulent anti-union campaign, to resurrect bills previously rejected in the senate to further emasculate whatever remaining potency was left to the ACTU’s dwindling base.

ScoMo and the troops will be fervently hoping that the expulsions will not succeed – as they readily admit, for them John Setka is the gift that keeps on giving.

And equally, Anthony Albanese is determined to finally get rid of the albatross around his neck, as is Sally McManus, the ACTU secretary.

Not only did the controversy provide a welcome distraction from the AFP raids on ŇşƖſŕëōĶƆŔǽ ĶƐ ëōōşƱĕĎ them to ramp up a still more virulent antiunion campaign Mungo MacCallum There may be some dispute over exactly what Setka said to set off the row, about how and even whether antiviolence campaigner Rosie Batty was brought into a speech which touched on the diminution of men’s rights.

Apparently Setka was able to convince McManus that reports that he did so were erroneous, and that his remarks had been taken out of context.

Albanese is not persuaded.

But that is no longer the point: as McManus has said, Setka’s reputation – and particularly the admission of harassment – is damaging the entire Labor movement at a time when things have not been going too well anyway, and it would behove him to step down to avoid further harm.

Setka bluntly refuses: he has been elected by his members and as long as they support him – and they apparently do – this is what matters.

Which means that both Albanese and McManus will have to either concede, which would be a disastrous humiliation, or fight on, which could lead to a dangerous split, certainly within the CFMMEU, probably spreading into the ACTU and very possibly into the ALP organisation and even into the caucus.

McManus is the most immediately vulnerable – she has no power to force

the issue, the CFMMEU is an autonomous body within her ranks. She can try to drag them into line, but if they tell her to go and get stuffed, she is, well, stuffed, and will just have to cop it as sweet as she is able.

But Albanese has far more to lose.

As a new leader, it was probably unwise to test his strength so early.

He rightly says he did not prevaricate – he demanded Setka’s resignation from the party as soon as he believed he had confirmation of the remarks about Batty.

And he has doubled down: whatever Setka has told McManus, the miscreant has to go. So Albanese will take his ultimatum to the ALP’s ultimate arbiter, the federal executive meeting next week.

It will not quite be a Gough Whitlam crash or crash through confrontation: Albo is not threatening to resign if he does not get his way.

And it is unlikely, in all the circumstances, that the executive will defy him – that would do far more damage to his leadership than anything Setka could manage.

But even if Setka is expelled, that would not be the end of the matter.

If the CFMMEU is intransigent, it would almost certainly suspend its contributions to the federal party, if not split from it altogether. Some other big union allies could do the same. And the cancer would in all likelihood spread through the rest of the broad left.

Chaos and confusion, dysfunction and disunity – just what the coalition ordered.

And if it does not work out that way, all is not lost. Already other victims are being marinated in the steaming cauldron maintained by the witches and warlocks of Newscorp.

McManus herself is a likely candidate, but the favourite seems to be Kristina Keneally – like McManus she is damned from birth, being, like McManus, both a woman and a lefty, need we say more?

Well no, but we will anyway, in article after article, page after page – such is the Murdoch press. And the fact that she will be face to face with one of their heroes, Peter Dutton, makes her all the more reprehensible. Her time will come.

But for now there is plenty to enjoy in the evisceration of Setka. And isn’t the right enjoying it.

Climate: wild beast Recently deceased geo-physicist and climate scientist Wallace Broecker observed, more than 40 years ago, that ‘Climate is a wild beast, and we are poking it with sticks.’

More recently, climate impact scientist Stefan Rahmstorf commenting on the recent election, said ‘A country so vulnerable to drought and wildfire, to floods and tropical storms and shear heat, voting for coal: that’s turkeys voting for Christmas.’

I wonder how many of the Queenslanders celebrating the Adani approval have considered the possibility that their grandchildren might be among those that will die from climate events made worse by climate change, which the coal from this mine will add to.

Bruns: paid parking After the recent delusional diatribe from the Brunswick Chamber of Commerce (BCC), I’m a little confused

as to what this ‘simple pleasures’ they continually espouse actually refers to.

Could it be the continuing increase of Queensland drivers who think they are still on the Gold Coast freeway when they drive through town and need to be educated where their indicator is?

Could it be the opportunity of some business owners buying their second or third businesses, some of whom don’t even live in town?

Could it be the privilege of having their businesses and prevailing infrastructure subsidised by ratepayers and subsequent rate increases?

Could it be the increasing homelessness for those unable to afford the increasing rents that the popularity of the area has created?

It is not acceptable for ratepayers to continue to subsidise the BCC with ongoing rate increases for roads that are becoming dangerous and the increasing pressure on infrastructure.

The mayor has taken the only logical option with the few tools available and called for paid parking.

Perhaps it’s time for rate increases for local businesses as well as paid parking?

Then residents might be able to park at the beach and we might get the crater out the front of our place filled in after two and a half years.

Amusing Ed It’s not often I get a laugh out of a newspaper’s editorial, but Hans Lovejoy’s tonguefirmly-in-cheek paragraphs on June 12 did just that. It underlined the missive of Orwell’s 1984, Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451, and China’s government’s statement that no-one died at Tiananmen Square.

ScoMo’s glib comment on TV that the Australian Federal Police raid was ‘nothing to do with the government,’ made me feel sick.

Currently there are nine zones in Byron Shire where weddings and other commercial events are permitted. The remaining three zones in the Byron hinterland (RU1, RU2, and R5) have been protected.

At a Byron Shire Council meeting on 21 June 2018 Council resolved to proceed with a planning proposal on land zoned RU2 (Rural Landscape) that permits weddings and other commercial events.

The proposal was forwarded to the Department of Planning and Environment for a Gateway Determination. despite the NSW Department of Primary Industries advising it does not support these types of development in RU1 and RU2 zones.

Industry members eg caterers, sound technicians, wedding planners, celebrants etc sought to ammend the proposal to include zones RU1 (Primary Production) and R5 (Large Lot Residential). Council appears to have caved in regard to RU2 but held in regard to RU1 and R5.

Since the initial planning proposal, Council has been under pressure from industry to amend its original proposal to promote the interests of industry and Council has complied. At the next Council meeting (June 20) they will seek to make the following amendments: a) The number of attendees at events will not exceed 150; b) Events will be restricted to 20 per year; c) Approval of events venues will be for a three-year trial period; d) At request of industry (ROI) ▶ Continued on page 18

wo major reports on Australan climate change have been released in the past month and while neither has good news experts still say it’s not too late.

The first was last month’s report from the Climate Council released in the leadup to a federal election.

The report showed the federal government had engaged in what the council called ‘climate deceit’ by delaying and playing down emissions reports.

Then, once again, the government released the national quarterly report on greenhouse gas emissions the morning after a major football match.

The latest report shows Australia’s emissions in 2018 have increased by 0.7 per cent since 2017 if you include the ‘land use sector’ and 0.6 per cent without.

It all ‘adds up’ An increase of less than one per cent in Australia’s emissions since the country’s 2017 report may not sound like much, but Dr Annika Dean, an expert in climate science impacts and adaption, says any increase is significant.

Australia’s emissions have increased every quarter for the past four years and it all ‘adds up’ she says.

‘The data clearly show that without a credible climate policy, emissions will continue to rise.’

Dr Dean says with land use emissions excluded

Dr Dean says Australia is facing a climate crisis that includes extreme heat, bushfire, and sea-level rise.

‘We’ve just had the hottest summer on record and we keep on seeing records broken,’ she says. ‘We’ve just seen the hottest March and it’s actually been the hottest January to April period on record. That heat exacerbates extreme weather.’

Human extinction from calculations, Australian carbon gas emissions are at a record high.

‘It’s really the wrong direction if we want to be reducing our emissions to meet our Paris targets, let alone reducing climate change’.

World not on track Dr Dean says emissions ‘in a lot of other countries’ are decreasing but in some, like Australia, emissions continue to increase.

‘In the US, the transition to renewables, the closure of multiple coal-fired power stations, means emissions are slowly falling,’ she says.

Other countries have set higher targets, along with the European Union and a lot of small island countries, very vulnerable to climate change, are transitioning away from fossil fuels.

But largely, Dr Dean says, ‘we’re not really on track to meet the Paris goal of limiting global warming to two degrees’ above preindustrialisation levels.

‘If you take all countries’ pledges we’re still on track

for warming around three degrees,’ she says.

Last year’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report backs this up.

IPCC vice chair and co-author of the report Professor Howden said that if the world keeps on its current trajectory, global warming will probably be ‘four degrees or over’ the Paris targets.

The professor says if the world sticks to Paris gasemissions targets, warming will be restricted to about three degrees but to achieve global warming targets, ‘we have to really significantly reduce emissions’.

‘On steroids’ Professor Howden says the world is ‘going up and up in sea level just as we keep on going up and up in temperature’.

He says the warming is likely to lead to an increase in ‘big storm events and cyclones’ that will be more intense and will travel further.

At the same time, droughts and heatwaves will probably increase in frequency and intensity.

‘So the things that we’ve seen over the last couple of years but on steroids,’ he says.

While Professor Howden says he doesn’t think humanity will go extinct, ‘Many, many people will die needlessly and many, many people will suffer needlessly, and of course many species apart from humans are going to be impacted’.

But while a million species are predicted to go extinct in the next few decades, Professor Howden says, ‘Humans are very adaptable. We find ways of surviving in extraordinary environments... from polar environments through to the hottest places on Earth’.

‘But even if we can keep ourselves cool, there are other costs that aren’t economic. You won’t get to send your kid out to play soccer on the weekend because it will get too hot’.

Dr Dean echoes Professor Howden’s warnings, ‘Australians’ livelihoods are being affected by climate change,’ she says. ‘We really need to address our greenhouse gas emissions and turn them around so that they start to decline rather than increasing to mitigate this problem of climate change.’

Localisation the key to future says Helena Norberg-Hodge

O

ne of the pioneers of the worldwide movement for economic localisation, Helena Norberg-Hodge, who is based in Byron Shire, has recently finished writing a new book and is soon heading off for a busy program in Europe.

Author of Ancient Futures and director of the documentary film The Economics of Happiness, Helena’s new book Local Is Our Future is the summary of key learnings from a lifetime of international experience and deep engagement with change-making. Postulating that economic localisation is the most fundamental shift we need to build a better future for both people and the planet, the book

proposes a path that she believes will get us from here to there. She tackles big questions and challenges deeply rooted assumptions by presenting inspiring, realworld examples.

Local Is Our Future is ‘a potent conceptual lens... to reverse the ruin of culture, nature, and place,’ comments Charles Eisenstein.

‘The argument for economic decentralisation, powerfully and passionately presented in this fine book, is one that we can no longer ignore,’ adds David Suzuki.

perspective.

‘It’s fantastic that, even within the establishment, more and more people are open to hearing the localisation message’, explains Helena. ‘It really fills me with hope, and is a sign of how clear the need for fundamental systems change is becoming’.

Helena will also travel to India, South Korea and Japan to continue the series of international Economics of Happiness conferences.

One of the Indian conferences will take place in Ladakh in the high Himalayas and will be a significant landmark both for Helena and her organisation Local Futures, whose work began in Ladakh.

countries, and engage with other innovators from the localisation movement. In Madrid and Ibiza she will be helping to establish a farmers market.

Helena will also present in the heart of the economic beast – at the Brussels Economic Forum. The Forum, hosted by the European Commission, brings together prominent voices from the world of international economics, such as the chief economist of the IMF and Spain’s minister for Business and the Economy. Helena, as an outspoken critic of conventional economic development and corporate globalisation, will represent an oft-marginalised, grassroots, and ecological

Byron Bay is saturated with commercial activity including Airbnb and international festivals. Many local families can no longer afford to rent or to purchase property in the Shire.

Now absentee landlords and industry seek to further fracture our local communities. Beware it may not yet be in your back yard but it is coming. The community need to stand up for their rights and for the environment.

The staff report recommending an amendment to the LEP to permit rural events (weddings) in RU2 zoned areas will be presented to Council this Thursday (20 June).

Last week The Echo reported that Byron Bay has featured in a EU report on overtourism.

Permitting more venues, visitors, cars, Airbnbs and more noise will not improve this situation.

The claim that these events will create jobs and contribute to the Shire’s economy fails to take into account the real cost of the adverse affects on the environment and community. It sounds like the justification for the Adani coal mine.

It’s time to look beyond hospitality for our community’s future. We need innovative industries. Ones that provide other jobs and careers, in addition to hospitality; that use the rural areas for producing food and products that are sustainable economically, socially, and environmentally.

Byron can and should be a leader in finding positive,

creative solutions to social, economic, and environmental challenges, not continue to permit more of the same activities that created the problems in the first place.

Pamela Collins Byron Bay

'ëŕīĕſşƖƆ ſşëĎƆ I read with interest Paul McCarthy’s letter (June 12). I have e-mailed the council on May 29 and June 13 pleading with them to re-surface, not patch, Midgen Flat Road before there is a fatality.

This road is a major link road from the Hinterland Way to Suffolk Park and Broken Head, maintained to an acceptable standard in Ballina Shire with a speed limit of 60km/h.

Once you enter the Byron section the road narrows and is a myriad of deep potholes and patches that can’t been seen in the dappled light, creating a driving nightmare.

I received a flat tyre on this road after hitting a pothole recently and was lucky not to encounter oncoming traffic.

I have asked the council to at least change the speed limit from 80 to 60km/h if they won’t patch or re-surface it.

To date I have had no reply to either e-mail apart from the automated response. It seems to me the council has a complete disregard for public safety.

As Paul noted, council have received over $3m in income as a result of paid parking through fines, parking fees and resident exemption charges. We have also had a rate increase that is linked to land values. Byron house prices we are now told are higher than Sydney’s.

So this money, added to their existing infrastructure budget, should have shown significant improvements in our roads.

Our family had firsthand experience with road death when my mother-in-law was killed on The Coast Road in the 90s. I beg you, Byron Council, fix our roads.

Show some competent management of our money entrusted to you and stop feeding us the stories of ‘pot hole spotting squads’, ‘visitor numbers’ etc and get out and protect our safety on our roads by fixing them.

Letters Alzheimer’s Desmond Bellamy (letters April 3) would be interested to know that The Echo did not publish any [Ed: they were published online] of the several letters it received on preventing Alzheimer’s disease that quoted the peer-reviewed medical literature, showing that a tablet sold in most supermarkets basically halved the incidence of Alzheimer’s.

Precautionary principle Based on the precautionary principle I support the Stop 5G group, that was reported in The Echo (June 5).

However, in the interest of basic science education, radio waves do not, by definition, overlap or come even close to overlapping with X-rays. To use a musical analogy, that’s like saying that bass is treble.

We should try to tell the truth as best we can.

Who’s Michael Lyon?

Accepting Lyon’s irrational rant against Paul Jones as Lyon’s words (published

by The Echo without bias);

features of Lyon’s character appear to include immaturity and paranoia. That much was revealed by Lyon’s attempts to justify the outdated, hazard-prone, and ineffectual Butler Street bypass.

I wish to correct one environmental misrepresentation Lyon made ‘… after hearing that no species will be further endangered or go extinct…’ (letter 12 June).

The bypass EIS January 11, 2016, page 101 stated: ‘Ten threatened species have been recorded during previous surveys conducted within and adjacent to the site… In addition, there is a suitable habitat for a further six threatened fauna species that have been previously recorded in the locality or are predicted to occur.’

Lyon’s assertion does not identify with the public record. Council’s intended destruction of these hectares of endangered habitat is entirely avoidable and unnecessary.

Greg Davies Byron Bay

In bed with...

Recently a senior bureaucrat from Home Affairs contacted a senator to harass him over his views on the police media raids. Peter

Dutton subsequently had to admit that the contact was ‘inappropriate’.

At stake here was the principle of ‘separation of powers’ ie the rule that bureaucrats, politicians, and judges are independent and should not interfere in each other’s activities. In other words the bureaucrat should not have leaned on the elected politician, or even expressed an opinion to him.

This conflict is regularly observed at Council, when bureaucratic staff shape the views and thoughts of elected councillors by withholding and twisting information and by failing to answer legitimate questions.

Your elected councillors reinforce this by refusing to accept criticism of the staff.

Recently I pointed out that once a month staff and councillors engage in a strategic planning workshop which in reality covers all manner of non-planning matters. It turns out that this informal and all-but-secret session is mandated by the state government, which never gives up tweaking the system to favour right-wing objectives.

Last week I tried to sit in on the planning review committee. In my day all committees were open to the

public, but apparently the state government has now ruled any committee that has a staff member on it can keep the public out.

As I see it, any committee that has a staff member on it participating in debate is precisely the committee that needs public scrutiny.

This particular committee decides which development applications go to the elected council and which of them are determined by staff alone, so its members (whoever they are) could and should vote to allow the watchdog in the room.

Vote for trees As the Tallowood Estate spreads its little boxes westwood along the verdant valley toward Wollumbin, there remains at its heart one magnificent motherlode tree.

The developer is willing to do a deal with council so that open space requirements can be juggled and this fragment of an ancient ecosystem and its tall tree be preserved for the people in a public park, pledged and protected forever. Councillors, this is your chance to do a beautiful thing at Thursday’s meeting.

bÄśĹ•ÄŤĆ†ÄˆĹ?Ĝǔ Ĺ?ĂŤĹ•ÄŽ ſĕĹ?ĕÍƆĕ Ç• ſƆĆ? Ĝŕ ÄŞĹ&#x;Ć–Ĺż ơĕÍſƆ A soon-to-be-released neighbourhood at Cudgen represents the first residential land in the Kingscliff area for four years.

And they have not been uneventful years, with the Tweed Coast earning national and international recognition during this time. Ben Devlin, former executive chef at Paper Daisy, in award-winning Halcyon House, has a new Pottsville restaurant Pipit. Matthew Kemp, who gained The Byron at Byron resort’s first chef’s hat, has relocated to the Kingscliff Beach Bowls Club. ‘With the maturity of existing products and the introduction of exciting new products and operators, tourism in the Tweed is on the rise,’ said Cameron Arnold, chair of Destination North Coast.

Intrapac Property are behind the new 100-home-site Kingscoast community at Cudgen. Located on

Crescent Street, 3km from Kingscliff Beach, the neighbourhood will be officially released on 29 June. ‘We’ve already had strong interest from the Byron Shire,’ said Kingscoast’s Brinton Keith. ‘A large number of workers, particularly in the hospitality industry, commute between the Tweed Coast and Byron.’ Jade McPhee is the group financial

controller for Elements of Byron Resort and its affiliated Byron businesses. She lives in Pottsville with her husband Dion and two young children. ‘We both drive to Byron Bay to work every day,’ she said. ‘In fact probably a quarter of all staff at the resort commute from the Tweed Coast. Coming from Melbourne we find the commute from the Tweed to Byron quick and easy and it’s

always nice to live away from where you work.’ ‘We moved from Sydney to Casuarina five years ago,’ said Casuarina resident Angela Harris. ‘My husband Cliff now works from home in cybersecurity and it’s great to be so close to the Gold Coast Airport for when he needs to travel. I was lucky to receive an offer to work in Byron Bay and the scenic commute each day is far better than facing traffic congestion if I had to travel to the Gold Coast. We love the beaches here, Kingy Creek and the community vibe.’ Much of the land surrounding Kingscoast is preserved as green space through a mixture of open space and ecologically

significant zonings. There is also a primary school, oval, and park within a five minute walk and the new Tweed Valley Hospital, due for completion in 2022, will be under three minutes’ drive away. ‘Village life is alive and thriving on the Tweed Coast,’ said Cameron Arnold.

plump oysters bobbing in a generous well of intriguing sauce, worthy of picking up and devouring every last drop. Executive chef Scott Bennett has been continually perfecting his scrumptious sauces over his several years at Lighthouse Beach Café.

The Seafood Platter (for one) boasted a skewer of scallops which topped a silky sliver of beer-battered barramundi, and layered with long tendrils of tender salt-and-pepper squid, oysters natural, brilliant king prawns, and an abundance of chunky chips, garden salad, and chef’s special sauces.

A frosty blue margarita was a perfect companion to seafood. Thanks to Hpnotiq liqueur this delicate cocktail echoed the surf’s seafoam colours. Hpnotiq is a gracious blend of vodka, cognac and fruit juice discovered by the owners while on holidays.

ALL YOUR NORTH COAST ENTERTAINMENT | LIVE MUSIC...P32 | CULTURE...P36 | CINEMA...P36 | GIG GUIDE...P37 How would you describe your role with the BSA? As the coordinator of the BSA Project Space, each year I work with the directors to build the exhibition program. Then it’s about supporting the artists during install, opening night, the exhibition run, and de-install. A lot of my role is being open to what possibilities are floating around. There is a formal process where artists can apply for an exhibition, but there are always other opportunities that come up that you can’t plan for; a chance conversation might lead to a collaboration or partnership of some kind.

Looking back, how do you feel about the way it’s grown?

The school itself began in 2013. The Exhibition Space began a year later and grew out of the first year-long course where teachers and students were trying out their ideas through installation.

I think the thing that is most satisfying is the way we are pretty well integrated into the local community. Exhibitions open every three weeks, regular artists’ talks, and you know there are always something to see here. As part of the school we have also gained some recognition farther afield – number 85 on the Art Life Top 100 for 2019 was a pretty happy day for us. And then because the exhibition space is literally hidden within the school, you’ll get a local who walks in and says: ‘Oh, I never knew you were here’. I like that we are still an unknown for some people.

On the one hand you have to trust that if you are building something special it will slowly permeate out into the wider community; on the other hand you need to let people know what

you are doing as there’s nothing like an opening night when the energy is high.

What does BSA offer to the community that is unique as an art experience?

One, it’s that the program isn’t necessarily commercially driven – not because we didn’t want to sell work but because we want to see a range of media or ideas played out. Two, it is the building itself; it is such a great space and responds so well to different types of work.

Three, the way we fit with the wider school – I love that the students can test their ideas against the work that is being shown in the space. Nothing beats those days when both studios are full of students and we have visitors ducking in and out of the exhibition space, or we are installing a new show and students can engage with the process at that stage. Because we operate within the Byron School of Art we can make the most of the cultural capital we have worked so hard for. For example the school and its directors have been entrusted with the Ralph Woodford Residency, which in turn has helped us to connect with some amazing artists who have exhibited in the space. And finally, I feel like it’s a welcoming space. I have had countless great conversations here. I have a soft spot for the people who turn up again and again, and just engage with whatever is before them.

How do you keep an unfunded gallery like BSA operational?

Well like most artists we do a lot of unpaid work! We use a rent-supported model and a small commission. It’s a model that’s used all

over the world in slightly different formats. It means we are working with motivated artists who are prepared to put themselves on the line to show their work; other times it means we can gain access to artists from around the country and farther afield who are happy to carry some of the costs. Artists are extremely generous, and the school contributes to running costs.

Like many art spaces we are looking at the fundraising exhibition to keep fees for artists as low as we can and to keep the space viable.

What are the shows that you have seen at the BSA over the last five years that really hit home for you?

There are so many but the first one that comes to mind is an exhibition called A Consumer’s Guide to Unobtainable Happiness by local artist Susan Gourley. Susan had used waste materials to reproduce Frenchinspired patisseries as a way to both mimic and question a mass-consumption culture. I watched her pull out all stops to make this show happen. She got a builder in to put more timber in the roof, hired scaffolding so she could install the work from the ceiling, and then spent hours tying the work up till her fingers were raw. It was a stunning show but it was also driven by her passion for environmental issues. Even the way she managed the materials after de-install was considered. That really raised the bar for me; it made me want to help the artist get the most from the space; I am always interested in working with artists who bring that much to the table. But I also saw what it took to

S

ENTERTAINMENT

offer that up; this was a show where nothing was for sale. It cost her money and time and energy, but there were other rewards. Later that show was reinstalled in a regional gallery, and will continue to have a life after that.

Tell me about the fine art prints of works available.

In a nutshell we are producing a limited edition of signed fine art prints from 12 artists who have exhibited in the space over the years. It’s a very small print run, only editions of seven, and the prints are beautiful. It’s a great way to own a James Guppy or Emma Walker for $250!

What will The Way We Were be showing?

The exhibition will give people the opportunity to see the prints in the flesh. Some lucky buyers will discover their purchase comes with a surprise original artwork as well but that’s all I can say at this stage!

Where do you see the BSA in the future?

One of the beauties about receiving no external funding is that we are pretty nimble as an organisation. Whether it’s the school itself or the exhibition space, we will always be looking at what is happening in the wider art world and what is happening within our own community – and what can we offer in that mix.

Exhibition opens Friday 21 June at 6pm and runs until 9 July. For more information about the space, go to byronschoolofart.com or email projectspace@byronschoolofart.com or contact Jo Petrou for school enquiries: to admin@byronschoolofart.com.

BOYCOTT QUEENSLAND

When Annastacia Palaszczuk’s Labor government gave Adani the tick of approval last week they not only endorsed the future of the fossil-fuel industry in their state;, they also told the world that the Queensland Labor government are Climate Change denialists.

They told the world that they are a government that doesn’t back science, or facts, but self-interest and corporate greed.

Well they believe some science – the science of the Adani company’s groundwater plan that sealed the approval.

They don’t believe the science of carbon emissions and our imminent environmental apocalypse. Go figure.

All science is equal but you know, some science is more equal than others… especially if that science gets you re-elected.

Qld Labor has redefined democracy once and for all as a ‘management of the people for the corporations’. After all, who’s going to fund their election campaigns if they piss off Murdoch and the coal barons? A bunch of hairy hippies? The traditional owners – the Wangan and Jagalingou people? The coalition of free-range organic egg producers?

No way. Corporate governments NEED corporate backing.

Annastacia told the world they are prepared to use your children, and your children’s children, as the canaries in the coal mine. It’s not just the southern black-throated finch that is endangered; it’s our kids. It’s our country. It’s the fucking planet.

If the Labor government doesn’t believe the science of climate change then what hope do we as Australians have to meet the renewable targets we committed to as part of the Paris Agreement? Our own PM took coal into Parliament saying, ‘Don’t be afraid, don’t be scared, it won’t hurt you. It’s Coal.’ This was him ridiculing renewables.

The stunt wasn’t even original. He was mimicking US oil lobbyist and climate-change denier Jim Inhofe, who brought a snowball into the Senate chamber to prove the climate-change hoax. That was 2015. Our corporate Yes man pulled out his coal in 2017. Different idiots, same script. We’re currently on track to miss our climate targets for 2030 as our emissions continue to soar.

Federal government websites for the Department of the Environment and Energy are boasting we’re on track to beat our 2020 target. Really? With Adani approved and six more mines in Queensland pending?

Other more progressive world governments who actually give a shit about the future are engaged in low-carbon transition plans. The Scottish government has a target of generating 100 per cent of electricity from renewables by next year. In fact 28 of the EU countries agreed to a cumulative 20 per cent of energy coming from renewables by 2020 with Sweden hitting 40 per cent back in 2004. The UK has pledged 15 per cent by next year. And here in Australia with the most sun, the most wind, and the most empty expanse of landscape where we could establish solar and wind farms with tens of thousands of more jobs than fossil fuels would ever create – we’re still approving coal mines.

It’s clear to me that this decision had nothing to do with fact. It was about belief. And so many Australians have been brainwashed into believing the corporate spin because they’d rather hate ‘lefties’ than join forces with them. Those fighting on the environmental front aren’t lefties. They are the true conservatives – conserving the planet and its resources for future use. Ripping out coal and destroying ancient aquifers – I’d say that’s radicalised behaviour.

We all know the facts about Adani, about the mythical ‘jobs’, about the fact that it will be one of the most automated mines in the world, about the impact on the water table in the Galilee Basin, about the impact on the Barrier Reef putting 160k+ actual jobs at risk. There’s no point arguing fact, because in politics facts don’t win.

What is the most sickening is that Annastacia Palaszczuk and her government know exactly what they’ve done.

They know the devastating impacts of this coal mine. But self-interest reigns supreme. Just say the word jobs and the deal is done. Local communities brought to their knees.

These ‘jobs’ are the chicken-pox blankets colonials gave the world’s indigenous populations.

The next job boom will be pulling dead bodies out of collapsed buildings after a cataclysmic weather event.

Or piling up old people after a 50-degree heatwave. Let’s change the signs at the Border from ‘Welcome to the Sunshine State’ to ‘Welcome to the Climate-Denial State’.

I was born in Queensland. My family lives in Queensland.

I still have many, many dear friends in Queensland, but I think we have to cut the cord. I think we found out why Queensland drivers can’t merge – even with a Labor government, they can’t get out of the right lane. I’m sorry, but as a protest for our planet and the future of our kids, it’s time to boycott Queensland. Sorry, Mum.

He was born in Germany in the same year that the Berlin Wall was built. Like many others, it not only cut Yeshe’s family in half, but also led to a disconnection from his culture and traditions.

Yeshe is currently in treatment for a serious illness and so fellow musicians and colleagues are gathering to support him on his healing journey. And what a lineup it is! Bobby Alu, Declan Kelly, Ben Walsh, Spankinhide, Matt O & Cye Wood, Peter Hunt (Kooii), Katia, The Hottentots, Shai Shriki, and The Palm Wine Ambassadors present an incredible night of live world music MCd by Jonathan Atherton.

Sunday at Kulchajam at the Byron Arts & Industry Estate, 3–10pm. For those who can’t attend there is a GoFundMe campaign online: gf.me/u/tavvg4 via GoFundMe.

VOX MULLUM This weekend, chamber choir Vox Caldera are set to perform two concerts devoted to the music of Claudio Monteverdi, directed

by Nicholas Routley. Monteverdi was an Italian composer and choirmaster who lived between 1567 and 1643. He is considered a key link in the transition from Renaissance to Baroque styles of music and is noted for bringing a secular perspective to church music. The orchestra includes Bridget Crouch and Suzanne Simpson on violin, Belinda Mainwaring on cello, and Hamsa Arnold on continuo.

Appearing in Ballina on Saturday 22 June at St Mary’s Anglican Church at 4pm and in Mullumbimby on Sunday 23 June at 3pm at the Civic Hall.

HOLD ON! FITZY & CARA ARE COMING!

THE LOST RECORDINGS OF JIMMY WILLING Bushrangers and Ghosts – After almost two decades the lost recordings of Jimmy Willing are finally appearing.

The Willing Talking Machine Company is about to release a long-overdue EP of original songs about bushrangers, namely Flash Johnny Gilbert, Singing Kate Kelly to Sleep, and Mad Dan Morgan. Recently uncovered in a trunk full of old recording tapes, these unique Australian songs have finally been mastered by Michael Worthington for international release. If you’ve never seen them, then you need to get there. This is post-apocalyptic punk country music sung by Jimmy Willing , a shirtless jumping frontman who may be missing a tooth, but he never misses a beat. Also playing is Sara Tindley & Ash Bell and the Mumblers.

Just $15 at the Billinudgel Hotel on Saturday 29 June from 2.30pm. There is a Lismore/ Billinudgel Red Bus Return leaving from the Lismore Quad at 1pm that costs $50 – it goes through Ballina and Lennox!

THE LIGHT RETURNS After their much-loved Voices of Light concert at the Brunswick Festival of the Voice a couple of weeks ago, The Songbirds by popular request present The Light Returns, an Afternoon Tea Solstice concert, at 3.30pm on Saturday at St Martin’s Hall in Mullumbimby. At The Light Returns concert next Saturday they will showcase a few of their more sassy numbers, as well as the uplifting angelic songs for which they are known. Tix $15 at the door.

EPIC: DEBORAH CONWAY AND WILLY ZYGIER Deborah Conway and Willy Zygier are thrilled to announce the release of their 10th studio album, The Words of Men, featuring songs of personal, cultural, and political observation. In what is already proving to be a landmark year for the remarkable duo, 2019 also marks the 25th anniversary of their hit album and first musical collaboration Bitch Epic featuring the single Alive & Brilliant, now a part of Australian sonic history. To celebrate the new alongside the much-loved, Deborah, Willy, and their band have embarked on a national tour of concert theatres performing Bitch Epic and The Words of Men in their entirety. The tour is aptly titled EPIC. Recorded live to capture the vitality and beauty of the chemistry Deborah and Willy share with their band, The Words of Men reflects one of the most creative bursts in their renowned 27year collaboration, traversing a wide range of themes, from songs about relationships, and their breakdown, to songs about the mysteries and joys of ageing set against the strange circumstances we find ourselves in as the 21st century progresses.

At the Byron Theatre Sunday 23 June at 6.30pm. Tix $45/49 at byroncentre.com.au.

HAT FITZ AND CARA ARE HANDS DOWN ONE OF THE BEST LIVE DUOS YOU’LL SEE. THE HUSBAND-AND-WIFE TEAM HAVE CLOCKED UP 10 YEARS OF TOURING, FESTIVALS, AND ALBUMS, AND HAVE JUST RELEASED THEIR MUCH-ANTICIPATED 5TH STUDIO ALBUM HAND IT OVER, FEATURING LEAD TRACK HOLD ON. THEY PLAY BELLO WINTER MUSIC FOR THE FIRST TIME. WE SPOKE WITH CARA ROBINSON. How the hell do you get that incredible energy of you and Fitzy live distilled into an album?

Sometimes we feel that we don’t actually manage to capture the live energy in the studio, we try through the process of recording it live as much as possible, through to the mixing then mastering, maintaining the energy, so I guess you could say our recordings would never be seen as polished or over produced.

Can you tell me about Hold On, your lead track off Hand it Over?

In short this song had a message we wanted to share with our fans or anyone who was having or had had troubled times with themselves through life. We all know life can be a bit of a rollercoaster at times and there was a tendency through growing up to blame those closest to us on occasion. I guess the moral in the lyrics was to know that the big responsibility in life starts with ourselves and that in turn relates to how we treat each other.

Do you both take criticism well from each other? I know I hate it when my husband tries to tell me better punchlines‌ then he’s not onstage with me (thank god!).

Ha ha! Yes, it’s always hard to take criticism from anyone.

Especially while onstage and from the hubby. We are such vain and prideful beings sometimes. So quite honestly, yes, we both take huge offence at each other’s critical remarks towards each other.

But there’s always room for bringing it back round if one has gone too far. We will be driving off after a gig and one of us will say Maaaan you cooked me good and proper tonight! That comment mostly comes from Fitzy, I have to say.

Life is like a beautiful melody, only the lyrics are messed up.

I just love the balance of you two – your incredible exuberance, and Fitzy’s laconic Aussie ‘let’s just get on with it’‌ it makes the performance so much fun, and it feels so natural‌ Did that onstage relationship evolve over time or is it there all the time?

Fitzy is Fitzy on stage and off. He has always called a spade a spade, whereas I would tend to over think what a spade is and what it could mean. That has always been our patter.

Of course it is heightened with the energy of our audiences.

Sometimes there’s a tendency for us to cut loose more when it’s a crowd who knows us well or is egging us on.

To be honest we have had three in ten years where it has gone really wrong and all humour is lost.

That’s mostly when we are beside ourselves with fatigue while on the road.

You guys are relentless live giggers; it’s made you a kickarse act onstage. Hard to believe it’s just two of you.

How do you maintain that massive energy?

We love what we do. When we are onstage together and have a great sound, when Fitzy’s amp and my drums are cranked just enough so that we are both vibing off the first note, and we have great folk who have come to see us then there’s nothing stopping us from going, ‘Hell yeah, how good is this?’ Wooohoooo life is good! And we’re all together. Next song‌ Hat Fitz & Cara | Bello Winter Music |11–14 July bellowintermusic.com

WHITE DINGO AT BRUNS PICTURE HOUSE

YT DI N GO (PRO D W H IT E DING O ) IS T H E P E RS O NI FI CAT I O N O F BLO O D, S WEAT , AND T EARS .

THIS I S THE M U SIC AND D ANC E P R O J E C T S PAWNED FRO M T H E G ENI US MI ND O F T RAVERS ROS S, EN CA P SU L AT ING S O UNDS , M O V E M E N T , AND FEELI NG I N I T S RAWES T FO RM. He is a versatile vocalist, choreographer, and performer, who disperses his creativity into alternative staged, sonic, and/ or filmed art, set to appease all walks of life. YT Dingo shares the stage with raw urban rock musicians and a downunder collection of multi-formed dancers who get behind YT Dingo’s howling screams and original poetic rhyme and dance storytelling.

So what can people expect for his upcoming show at the Brunswick Picture House?

People can expect a big sound playing the EP live and more originals with howling vocals, rhymes, music artistry utilising musicians playing the tracks, and dancers used abstractly and through pop to elevate the beats, moods, and lyrics moving throughout the whole venue. Expect solid acknowledgements to first nations (including three first nations women in YT Dingo’s pack), the land, and fighting for the generations ahead.

Expect a stunning colourful PACK ready to open your eyes and ears wider and get the goosebumps and shivers down your spine waking up parts of you that you forgot were sleeping! Back string-bending Daniel Cox on guitar, Jackson Garcia the drummer who is also a dancer, Yolanda Lowatta (ex Bangarra dancer), AB Sow (African dancer / all style), Jazi Othman (Malaysian/ Indonesian/ all style dancer), Pru Wilson (just returned from London), Jordan O’Davis (first nations all style dancer) and DJ RedBelly (also first nations).

Calling to Belong is the support act, which ideally is also an introduction to White Dingo’s story before being shipwrecked.

Dancers of culturally diverse walks of life coming together calling to belong. And in between bridging the gap straight downunder soul RedBelly on the decks (first nation DJ) holding the whole evening together, keeping the music flowing as well as performing with YT Dingo.

Who is the audience for YT Dingo?

This tour is to define that. For now we want everyone to come give it a go. Festival heads will love it, yet with the dance it settles for universal language. I think this show bridges the gap, hence why we are at the Brunswick Picture House!

What do you hope people will leave thinking/feeling?

Thrilled, uplifted, open, new bits of you awakened to new truths. Feeling activated and sweaty from dancing ya tits off!

I hope people feel inspired by the lyrics of YT Dingo’s exposing his brain and moving into his heart back and forth finding his individual truth.

What are your plans for the show‌ where to next?

Spread this EP and message as far and wide as possible!

The following night we perform Gold Coast’s Miami Marketta and then the following night again we play Brisbane’s Old Museum.

Then we turn into a GLOW version for Glow Festival at HOTA Gold Coast and then head to north Qld with a tour before swinging back all the way through to Melbourne, hitting the NSW coast.

Brunswick Picture House, Thursday 7pm, $27/30 brunswickpicturehouse.com

What inspired you to create Fold: A Domestic Circus?

We were excited by making everyday objects and settings the vessels for virtuosic movement/dance/circus and wondered what it might tell us about the way that people relate.

How do you develop up a piece like this from concept to articulated idea?

Slowly and with lots of consideration!

The devising process asked lots of personal questions around how we engage and live with others in domestic settings and gave way to lots of object play (mops, sheets, cups, etc) and improvisation. We watched carefully for things that resonated with our our situations and stories, both real and imagined, and grew the piece from these cuttings.

What moments did you want to craft in this performance?

We ultimately wanted a faithful and universal cross-section of moments that spoke of the relationship between two people.

Love, irritation, fun, passion, loss, and the thing that is common to us all: housekeeping!

Is there magic in mundanity?

Yes‌ After making this piece I’ll never look at folding the washing in the same way again.

What do you draw on to inform what you do, especially for a show like Fold?

I’m an avid physical researcher all the time but interestingly it was my home life that was the biggest inspiration for me personally.

Relatable scenarios of mundanity, chaos, and wonder appear every day whether you are searching for them or not!

Tell me about the performers you work with – what do you ask of them?

These performers/divisors also happen to be my very close friends. I ask them to find the holes in my thinking and interrogate the content honestly. I believe the secret to great work is shared excitement and investment; ultimately that is what I value most in the performers I work with.

How do you problem-solve in the creation process?

Someone wise once said that ‘if the only tool you have is a hammer every problem looks like a nail’. I’m always trying to find new tools that increase the sophistication and quality of my work. Being tight enough to bed down content but loose enough to question it honestly is an endless challenge. Working at NORPA over the last few years has been instrumental in my skill/tool development.

What should we expect from this show that you have created for NORPA? I’m not a fan of spoilers but I will say that you can experience a touching and physically unparalleled performance by two of my favourite performers.

Fold: A Domestic Circus is on Friday and Saturday 28 & 29 June at NORPA at Lismore City Hall. Tix are $20–49 at norpa.org.au.

MEETING CATSI ON THE PATH TO AUTHENTICITY

Dr George Catsi is a national award-winning performance writer, performer, comic, academic, and producer in film, theatre, health, and education. Starting out his career as a nurse George abides by his mantra that constant transformation is the key to a resilient life.

Along with Mandy Nolan, George is a co-presenter of The Authentic You, a 2-day masterclass for anyone who wants to be a better speaker.

Authentic often seems like an overused term, with its being used to sell everything from overseas holidays to soap. George believes that being authentic reveals a lot about us as a people trying to make sense in a media-dominated world.

‘Our messaging about issues, about people in political or influential positions, is fractured. We’ve lost sense of when someone is being ruthful, so we go looking for signs about someone and when they used the word authentic – either they are or they aren’t. There is a growing need to find people who appear to speak from a place of knowing and stand in a place of listening,’ says George.

Charisma is key. George’s PhD in Persuasive Performance revealed the integral role this had in someone’s impact in a speaking role.

‘A good speaker has this,’ says George. ‘But you don’t need to be tall, good looking, or any particular weight, gender, or colour.

There are other things at play – such as connection, presence, comfort, and more.’

George admits that although his career has sent him on a public trajectory, he wasn’t a ‘natural performer’.

‘I did a lot of work in my 20s in improvisational performance that was great training and thinking on my feet. I got to be in front of people and make mistakes, and that was okay.

Over time I realised audiences responded more to me as a culmination of honest expression than when I tried to construct some perceived sense of what to say, or how an academic would be. I’ve learnt to reduce the difference in how I present between every role I occupy, such that everything has become a natural expression of me.’

So why do so many speakers find ‘being yourself’ so difficult?

‘Because most people think they’re not enough, so they try to create an onstage persona that is someone else. Audiences know instinctively that this is not authentic, and they lose trust,’ says George.

Other mistakes people make according to George is ‘trying to deliver too much content so they rush or run out of time.

They don’t look at the audience. They rely too heavily on technology or Powerpoint. Or they don’t know the content they are delivering well enough. An audience can feel this.’

George believes a masterclass like this isn’t just for professional speakers. But also ‘educators, artists, writers, and basically anyone who wants to find comfort in themselves being looked at and listened to in a public-speaking environment.

It’s for people who want to develop trust that they can deliver the content of their talk in a way that comes from an authentic voice and look forward to speaking engagements, not curse the opportunity.’

This is the first time Dr George Catsi and Mandy Nolan will present The Authentic You: Convey, Convince, Command, a masterclass for people who want to become more powerful and engaging speakers.

This is a unique setting where two teachers with very different skill sets and approaches align to support participants towards personal excellence.

‘Mandy and I have had long conversations on what we see as being the traits of good speakers or presenters and realised we had very similar ideas. These were based around presence, authenticity, and connection. While our ideas are the same, we have different styles of presenting.

This allows us to give the masterclass participants a range of skills they can work with. Mandy is a powerhouse of wit and speed, able to distil the mood of a room, the mood of a nation, in such a way that the audience is laughing, listening while also learning. I bring a strong commitment to improvisation skills that allow the speaker to be able to ride through any situation in a room with confidence. We are both committed to having the speaker be powerful and present – not just vehicles for the content they are trying to deliver,’ says George.

The Authentic You – at Elements of Byron on Saturday 27 and Sunday 28 July. For more detailed information email mandy@mandynolan.com.au and for tickets go to mandynolan.com.au/workshops.

WHALE TALK Come on down to the Brunswick Picture House in Brunswick Heads Tuesday 25 June to witness the world-premiere screening of the cinematic poetic experience A Tale from the Whale.

A Tale from the Whale is a locally made 2018 short film that presents a cinematic poetic experience channelled and spoken from the wisdom of whale and Mother Earth. The film blends genres with its unique structure and the illuminating experience it offers. Arranged in a fluid order, the positive and divine messages entwined through A Tale From the Whale aim to engage and act as a catalyst for inner spiritual development.

Planting conceptual seeds of guidance and knowledge in the minds of the audience, the film captures the beauty of life unfolding within the strength of nature.

The whales speak from ancient wisdom and call for us to find a true path, one that contributes to restoring the balance on Earth.

To kick off the night there will also be performances from amazing local and non-local spoken-word poets, followed by the premiere and afterwards an audience Q&A with the film’s creators. Brunswick Picture House at 6pm, tix $20 – brunswickpicturehouse.com.

CINEMA TOY STORY 4

Buzz, Woody, and the gang go on a roadtrip excursion discovering the adventurous spirit of life on the road in Disney and Pixar’sToy Story 4, which ventures to cinemas on 20 June 2019.

Woody (voiced by Tom Hanks) has always been confident about his place in the world, and that his priority is taking care of his kid, whether that’s Andy or Bonnie. So, when Bonnie’s beloved new craft-projectturned-toy, Forky (voiced by Tony Hale), declares himself as ‘trash’ and not a toy, Woody takes it upon himself to show Forky why he should embrace being a toy. But when Bonnie takes the whole gang on her family’s road-trip excursion, Woody ends

up on an unexpected detour that includes a reunion with his long-lost friend Bo Peep (voiced by Annie Potts). After years of being on her own, Bo’s adventurous spirit and life on the road belie her delicate porcelain exterior. As Woody and Bo realise they’re worlds apart when it comes to life as a toy, they soon come to find that’s the least of their worries.

If you see Toy Story 4 at Ballina Cinema you can enter the competition for your chance to have your own road-trip adventure in New Zealand.

ARIES: If something you thought was done and dusted resurfaces unexpectedly for another round, this may not be the easiest week to negotiate owing to touchy vibes and edgy energy. So if you can, put things on hold and power down, under the radar, away from information and conversation, staying warm, refuelling.

TAURUS: Life been scooting along at warp speed lately, with a bit of friction and the odd flareup? Then slow down before something does it for you. Take a break from high-maintenance people, and if anything feels just too difficult, this week gives official permission to file it in the too-hard basket.

GEMINI: With three planets in your house of work and finance possibly attracting both, it’s not the time to be making the same old mistakes regarding contracts or loans.

Be vigilant, especially if you’re hearing a similar message from different people. It’s important right now to team up with the right person or people.

CANCER: Happy Birthday, Crab clan, as the sun joining russet Mars and quicksilver Mercury in Cancer announces your annual personal power surge. And time for those feelings hiding behind a cool façade or wall of witty wisecracks to finally emerge in what could be an epic air-clearing moment.

LEO: Having doubts, uneasy feelings, emotions running hot, cold, and all over the shop? Trying to make long-range plans through what seems like fog? Let things rest till the haze settles and retrograde planets shift. Use this week to look inward rather than place blame outward – this isn’t about anyone else.

VIRGO: With Venus in the sign of chat, people get caught up in stories. So resist going into too many details, playing problem solver, over-explaining, or offering advice unless you’re asked or that’s what you’re paid for. Sure, your intention is to help, but if it’s not your business, why make it your business?

LIBRA: While planetary energy in your house of leadership has you busy organising, as always be wary of taking on too much. No need to excuse unacceptable or flaky behaviour either, in which case speak up. With Venus in Gemini making two this week’s favourite number, best times will be you and just one other.

SCORPIO: Emotions are rollercoasting and everyone’s super-sensitive. Mars is in defensive mode, so go easy on the sting: unfiltered opinions, sarcasm, or an accusatory tone will only push people away. The high road of respectful behaviour benefits everyone, no matter the provocation. A strong week for inner reflection and nurturing key relationships.

SAGITTARIUS: With misty, nebulous Neptune behaving like a galactic fog machine, it’s not a week to believe everything you read and hear. There’s a world of difference between fact and opinion so check sources, avoid gossip and hearsay. What you do and say today will influence tomorrow, next week, the rest of your year.

CAPRICORN: Don’t give in to pressure if something doesn’t feel right – especially if that pressure’s coming from you. Picking up too much of other people’s slack just adds weight on your back. Take the time this week to get physical checks, book in replenishing health treatments, and nourish your hardworking self.

AQUARIUS: If group dynamics get too complicated, this is an auspicious astrocycle to knuckle down and get stuck into detailed work or a big project. Settling into a steady routine should be easier, even curiously appealing, this week, with your most enjoyable interactions one on one and face to face.

PISCES: Don’t brush aside warning signs or ignore this week’s inconvenient truths – especially if real friends are telling you what you need to hear rather than what you’d prefer to. The good news is Neptune retrograde’s creative juices reconnecting you with a dream that’s been on hold for can you even remember how long?

GEORGIA MADELEINE ENTER 22/06/1994 - 13/09/2013 My Darling Georgia, you would be 25 this birthday and what a glorious 25 year old you would be. Bold, articulate, fierce, intelligent, savvy, astute, hilarious and challenging all of us to be the best version of ourselves. You would be spearheading your own #MeToo# campaign, moving and shaking in the Extinction Rebellion and making us all accountable for the conduct of ourselves on this planet. You were always thus. To say I miss you is the art of understatement. The hollow longing to hug you fiercely, hold your exquisite face and have the most inspiring conversation with you courses through my being like blood through a heart that beats with the ache of missing. I will find you again darling one.

Happiest birthday, Comet.

Love Always, Mum IN LOVING MEMORY of Neil Patrick McDonald 19/08/1942 - 24/06/2018.

The most loving, caring and thoughtful husband to Vivien, father to Mathew and Leisa, father in law to Dan and Mars, and Pop to Kurt, Zac and Emily. A special smile, a special face, in our hearts a special place. Memories are a gift to treasure, ours of you will last forever.

CHESS

by Ian Rogers The Women’s Candidates tournament, which concluded in Kazan on Monday, has uncovered a new star, Aleksandra Goryachkina.

Goryachkina, 20, is set to challenge Women’s World Champion Ju Wenjun after dominating the Candidates tournament.

In almost every game she extracted the maximum from her chances. Rival Katerina Lagno described Goryachkina’s serious, intense expression: ‘The way she sits, it is as if she is saying – Come on! Do you want to resign now, or in 10 moves, or in 20 moves?

It is just a matter of time.’

Indeed, Goryachkina’s endgame technique was compared to that of the great Anatoly Karpov – long-term pressure forcing most of her opponents to crack in positions that might have been held with perfect play.

With five rounds still to be played most of the field had given up hope, although Goryachkina’s nearest pursuer, Katerina Lagno, was brave enough to say: ‘A two and a half point lead? Well, I believe in miracles!’ The following day Goryachkina played solidly to draw against Lagno and

make it clear that there were to be no miracles.

Goryachkina’s most spectacular move in Kazan came in the second round against compatriot Valentina Gunina. The battle had already raged for more than 70 moves with Goryachkina on top but Gunina resisting well.

Finally, when the diagrammed position was reached, Gunina felt entitled to relax as she seems to have eliminated her opponent’s last pawn. However, Goryachkina shocked her opponent with 72.Nh4!! A wonderful interference theme beloved of problem composers. 72...Kg3 Desperation, since 72...Rxh4 73.Ra4+ is hopeless for Black. The game continued 73.h8(Q) Rf2+ 74.Ke1 Bb4+ 75.Kd1 Bxa5 76.Ng6 and the rest was easy for Goryachkina, who soon picked off Black’s pieces and secured the point 16 moves later. a

Netballers clean up at NSW state carnival The Brunswick Byron Netball Association U/17 side has once again won Netball NSW’s third division state tournament going through the three-day, 18-game competition undefeated.

Six of the nine players came through from the BBNA side that also won the same competition undefeated in 2018.

‘Teamwork and determination’ were the winning hallmarks of the side, coach Narelle Anderton said. ‘Everyone in the team has to be focused and has to perform all the time’.

‘Great netball was played, the girls thoroughly deserved

their win’.

After last year’s undefeated run through the competition the club applied to move up a division, but this was rejected by Netball NSW, as was the appeal to reconsider their decision.

‘We couldn’t understand why they wouldn’t let us go up a grade,’ Narelle said.

Support staff including manager Julieanne Ross, primary carer Sarah Dixon, caterer Alison Cromwell, and umpires Sue Keough and Jeanie Kuwert were also crucial to the team effort.

‘All the parents were very supportive as well,’ Narelle said.

Ocean Shores pick up one win in tough round Marc Patten All four Shores United senior teams were engaged in tough contests last weekend with first division the only winners.

The Brown Snakes took on Tintenbar at home and from the opening the sides hammered away at each other. But when Tintenbar lost their captain the Snakes slowly tightened their grip.

About 20 minutes from time, when it began to feel like Tintenbar might hang on for a point, Muzzy hammered one at the Tintenbar keeper, who spilled the hot shot to the feet of the rampaging veteran Bumpy, who made no mistake with the winner

putting Shores ahead 1–0.

The under-strength ladies travelled to play the Lismore Thistles in what was always going to be a tough ask for them with so many injuries.

And so they succumbed, but they had plenty of fun.

The fifth division old boys travelled to the Richmond Rovers for a second versus thirds clash.

The Shores boys were behind three times in the physical encounter, but came back each time.

Shores were spurred on by Glen who scored the individual goal of the season, slicing through no less than four defenders, from 60 metres out, to beat

In the end only an offside call on Ray’s goal stopped the mighty old boys from stealing the match late. It ended 3–3.

Byron Beez win championship

Byron Bay Beez’ first country champions: the U/14s with coach Matt Barlow. Photo supplied The Byron Bay Beez U/14 basketballers won division two of the NSW Country Championships held at Terrigal two weeks ago.

The side went through all seven games of the tournament undefeated and beat heavyweight side Illawarra on the way, as well as Newcastle 47–35 in the final.

‘The boys have improved all year so it is great to see they got a result for that effort,’ coach Matt Barlow said. ‘They really deserved it’.

Plan A takes out the ultimate disc Rainbow League 2019

The thirds travelled to Byron for a very frustrating match that saw them throw away many chances, only to see Byron capitalise on theirs. The Byron Rams came away with a 3–0 win.

Wayne Morgan soaked up the pressure to win the 2019 Mullumbimby major singles. Photo supplied Michael Burke Jeff Morgan won the seesawing final of the major singles against a gallant Wayne Moffatt at the Mullumbimby Bowling Club.

It is the first time a side from the Byron Beez has won a country championship.

The U/16 boys’ Beez were runners-up in the premier division of their age group at the country championships after a strong showing in the Combined Eastern and Junior League Championships.

The team will soon compete for the North Coast Shield before starting trials for next year’s side in September and October.

great fightback to snatch a 12–11 lead after 14 ends and continued to find the jack, edging to a 20–12 lead.

The high standard of bowls continued with Morgan then staging his own fightback to regain the lead at 23–22.

As the pressure mounted, Morgan held the upper hand and eventually took the title 31–26.

Four teams battled to win for the 2019 Ultimate Frisbee Rainbow League played in Byron Bay. The competition now in its second year attracted male and female players from The Channon, Lismore, and Murwillambah.

In the pool games D.O.P.E., led by Simon Du Bois, struggled with an injury-hit roster. They lost their first five games but gained some redemption with a strong win over Locos.

Plan A, guided by oldtimer Donavon Moss, young recruit from the UK Gavin Pillinger, and local rookie Liam Teal dominated the pool stage with five wins from six starts, and a goal difference of plus nine.

In the final pool game a

pumped-up Mañana Banana, inspired by Ami Pelu, earned a surprise win over Plan A, forcing a playoff with Locos for a spot in the final.

Mañana Banana won this game by a single point scored in extra time.

It meant the father-son duo of Andrew and Sage Badman just missed out on their second consecutive final.

In the end Plan A overcame Mañana Banana to emerge as deserving champions in an entertaining final enjoyed by a small crowd.

Enthusiastic Byron rookie Trent Pfisterer impressed with his speed and safe hands to earn him MVP for the tournament.
