THE MORE THINGS CHANGE, THE MORE THINGS CHANGE

Court gives nod to Woolies in Mullum Land and Environment Court commissioner Robert Hussey last week gave approval for Woolworths to install and operate their proposed onsite sewerage management system for the proposed supermarket development in Station Street, Mullumbimby. Byron Shire Council’s executive manager of environment and land use Ray Darney said the approval is valid for five years and subject to conditions granted by the court. ‘One of the conditions included is that installation cannot commence until the approval issued by the Minister has been modified to incorporate the redesigned onsite system,’ Mr Darney said in a press release. He said Council was yet to see a final copy of the court’s conditions of approval. In August 2009, Byron Shire councillors rejected Woolworths’ Section 68 application for any onsite sewerage system in Station Street, Mullumbimby. Mr Darney said the application

was refused because the applicant failed to demonstrate that appropriate arrangements could be made for the management of sewage generated by the development. Woolworths lodged an appeal against the council’s decision in the Land and Environment Court and was permitted to submit revised proposals for the on-site system. Mullumbimby currently has a moratorium that prevents any new developments being connected to the town’s overloaded sewage system until a planned upgrade is complete. Mullumbimby Community Action Network (MCAN) coordinator Deborah Lilly expressed dismay at the decision. ‘The Court was informed that Byron Shire Council, the Department of Planning consultants Whiteheads Associates and the soil expert, Catherine Hird, commissioned to give evidence in the case, all agreed that the Station Street site in Mul-

proposal include the lack of buffer areas separating the effluent from public thoroughfares and boundaries, the site being too close to residential areas, too close to drainage that flows into the Brunswick River, the need for effluent pumpout – which effectively means this is an off-site, not an onsite system – and the inadequacy of a management plan described by the Senior Counsel as “unworkable”. ‘Furthermore, Woolworths was given four months and two deferred hearings in order to come up with yet more revisions to the already heavily revised onsite system, which has rendered the management of the onsite system an impossible farce. ‘Byron Shire Councillors’ decision Commissioner Robert Hussey at the Mullum site inspection last Septem- to refuse the onsite was justified – the plan must have been flawed beber. Photo Lou Beaumont cause they have had to revise it so lumbimby is too constrained for the many times. Impossibly complex and onsite sewage disposal. unworkable, the Woolworths onsite ‘Other contentious factors in this sewage system is a white elephant and

a health hazard. I am disgusted by the Court process.’ Greens MLC Sylvia Hale described the ruling as ‘a victory for dubious planning decisions’. She said the decision of then Planning Minister Frank Sartor to rezone disused railway land for retail development and to approve in November 2006 the construction of a supermarket in the face of Council’s refusal was ‘unacceptable and the end result has been a decision that favours a giant corporation’. ‘Country residents are all too aware of how supermarket developments in their towns have sucked the lifeblood from small, main street shops. The opposition to the development is not going to disappear in the face of this decision. I anticipate that the vigorous “Woolworths – don’t shop here” campaign will be all the stronger. ‘After all, what’s at stake is the very character of Mullumbimby.’ ■ Comment, page 10, Letters, page 12

Weir all in this together: eeling ceremony at Shearwater watercourse Story & photo Lou Beaumont

An old concrete weir that lay across Mullumbimby Creek on Shearwater Steiner School land has been removed and replaced by an environmentally sensitive version. A combined initiative of State Government’s Industry and Investment and State Water, weirs built throughout NSW during the 1970s were assessed. Some of the concrete dams, known as Jack Beale weirs, were found to be, at best, no longer serving their intended purpose, and, at worst, had become dysfunctional, impacting on the environment. Matthew Gordos, Conservation Manager with Industry and Investment NSW, told The Echo, ‘This particular weir at the Steiner School was leaking and its presence was impacting on migrating fish and other wildlife. Together with State Water we agreed that the weir was no longer serving landholders either and an

agreement was made to remove it. ‘Solely removing the weir was not an option as it would have significantly destabilised the river banks, so we have built a rock ramp fishway in its place. Now instead of juvenile fish and marine life, such as gudgeon, catfish, eels and mullet, coming up against a concrete weir, they swim directly up a gentle slope, providing them with access to a further 10kms of waterway upstream.’ Senior Project Manager for State Water, Frank Kinnas, said, ‘By replacing just three weirs in this region alone, Shearwater, Casino and one near Kempsey, 360kms of river has been opened up. ‘We [State Water] were able to assess weirs that were no longer functioning well but we needed Matthew’s expertise to replace them with appropriate structures. A lot of design and engineering goes into the building of From left, Shearwater Steiner’s head of bush regeneration and gardening, Ken Ohlsson, with Matthew Gordos, rock ramp fishways such as this. the Conservation Manager – Industry and Investment NSW and the Senior Project Manager for State Water, Frank continued on page 2 Kinnas, at the new and improved rock ramp weir.

NRCF fun day attracts the families Over 150 excited kids plus their parents, grandparents and carers descended on the Macadamia Castle at Knockrow for a family fun day, hosted by the Northern Rivers Community Foundation (NRCF) and Macadamia Castle owners, Tony and Rie Gilding. The action-filled afternoon attracted families from far and wide – Byron Bay, Mullumbimby, Woodburn and Ballina, to Lismore, Alstonville, Casino and Kyogle. There was plenty for everyone of all ages to get into and enjoy: numerous animal visits, feeding and petting; train rides; fantastic entertainment by wonderful local musicians and balloon artists, fantastic food courtesy of Byron Youth Service, and a hotly contested mini golf tournament won by 11-year old Chi Weller from Ewingsdale. On the day, lucky families also shared a host of donated prizes, including a gourmet hamper and a helicopter ride for three. One of the event’s highlights was the presentation of a cheque to the NRCF for $5,000 by Tony and Rie Gilding of Macadamia Castle. This gen-

erous donation and all money raised on the day has been added to the NRCF’s perpetual community fund, and will be used to support worthy causes across the Northern Rivers. The NRCF would like to thank Tony and Rie Gilding and their Macadamia Castle

staff who stayed on after hours to keep everything open; Greg Sheehan for his wonderful percussion performance; Mick’s Sashimi Jazz Duo, Barkers Vale Bluegrass Brothers, Dariush for his wonderful balloon art, Byron Youth Service for the wonderful food, John Callanan

and David Gordon for donating fabulous prizes, and everyone else who contributed their time to help make the family fun day such a great time for all who attended. For more information about the NRCF go to www.nrcf.org. au or call 6621 9996.

State govt approves T2E highway upgrade The state government has approved the $368 million Tintenbar to Ewingsdale Pacific Highway upgrade project. In a press release last week, Minister for Planning Tony Kelly said the upgrade would generate around 400 construction jobs. ‘Seventeen kilometres of existing highway will be replaced by a new four-lane carriageway extending from Ross Lane near Tintenbar to the existing Ewingsdale interchange’. Mr Kelly said functionality, safety, efficiency of the route, road traffic noise, ecology, heritage and the economy were all issues considered. ‘Project approval is accompanied by 44 stringent conditions requiring high standards of environmental management.’ They include monitoring traffic noise levels 12 months after road opening; installation of noise barriers at key locations, use of low noise materials in the road surface and architectural treatments such

as double-glazed windows for individual properties; implementing programs to monitor any impact on surface and ground water; preparing an offset package for the Hairy Joint Grass, a nationally-listed vulnerable species, in consultation with state and federal environment agencies; and management of any impacts on Aboriginal cultural heritage along the project corridor in consultation with the local Aboriginal communities. Mr Kelly said protection of the drinking water catchment is a key component of the approval, with an independent expert brought in to review the RTA’s water quality assessment. ‘The RTA has committed to carry out a range of measures to improve general water quality by reestablishing riparian vegetation along waterways near properties purchased along the route.’ Ballina MP and Shadow Minister for North Coast, Don Page, has welcomed the an-

<echowebsection=Local News>

nouncement. He said he especially welcomes the announcement of construction money at the same time as planning approval was given, as quite often this is not the case. ‘Usually planning approval is given and it can be years before construction money becomes available,’ Mr Page said. ‘These delays occurred for both the Ballina Bypass and Alstonville Bypass projects. ‘When the Tintenbar to Ewingsdale upgrade is completed in 2014 it will mean that

from Ballina to Brisbane will all be dual carriageway. This upgrade will improve safety, reduce travel time, save fuel and reduce green house gas emissions. ‘It will also open up more tourism opportunities for places like Ballina in particular.’ Mr Page said that the announcement of $368 million combined with the $640 million currently being spent on the Ballina bypass will result in a huge injection of money into the local economy.

Ramp weir good news for fish From front page

‘A few trees had to be removed in order to properly access the site and construct the rock weir at Steiner so we have also donated trees to the school to assist in regenerating the area.’ Shearwater’s Bush Regenerator and Head Gardener, Ken Ohlsson, told The Echo, ‘The new weir has provided a good

education tool. Class 7 takes part in bush regeneration every year, picking a section of creek bank to focus on. ‘We have 1.8kms of riparian zone within school grounds, on 1.5kms of which we have begun bush regeneration projects. It will be great to monitor the regeneration of this particular section and also watch the fish come back.’

Residents to object to Tallowood subdivision plans At a Land and Environment Court hearing in Mullumbimby on February 8, concerned residents will be giving evidence against the development application (DA) for the first 31 lots of the proposed 240 lot Tallowood Estate subdivision on the western edge of the town. Tallowood developers Sarah and Eric Freeman (Bayview Land Development) went to the L&E Court on a ‘deemed refusal’ after Council took more than 40 days to consider the DA. Then Councillors on November 12 last year voted 5-3 to knock back the DA, citing 15 reasons for refusal. In its refusal Council highlighted serious issues relating to traffic, intersection upgrades, flood mitigation and flood free access, sewerage, open space, stormwater runoff, bush fire risk, threatened species habitat, contaminated land and regionally significant farmland. Concerned residents are encouraging others to attend the onsite hearing at the end of Tuckeroo Ave at 9.30am

on Monday February 8 or to stay informed by emailing tallowd@gmail.com. Brendan Healey from the Mullumbimby Creek Progress Association said the association’s concerns have not been addressed since June 1997, when it first wrote a submission on the development. ‘We hope that the upcoming court case will encourage some level of disclosure and responsible community consultation that the progress association has always asked for.’ Local engineer Chris Abraham said, ‘How will Mullumbimby cope with another 1,000 residents when infrastructure is already under strain? The current road system, which includes the busy Left Bank Road intersection and unsealed Clays Road with a one lane bridge, will not be able to cope with another 2,200 traffic movements per day associated with just the proposed first 240 homes.’ Bush regenerator Dave Rawlins is particularly concerned about the environmental im-

pacts. ‘The 64 hectare site has many significant environmental attributes. Threatened fauna including koalas and glossy black cockatoos use the area and threatened plants will also be impacted by the development. One endangered plant, the Spiny Gardenia, is only known to be found on 12 private properties in the entire shire. ‘There is no mention of how to conserve this plant in the DA and it has already been impacted by the damage caused from the hectares of camphor that got bulldozed and burnt last year. The subdivision site is also part of an important local upland wildlife corridor, over six kilometres in length. The high biodiversity values of the area must be assessed and taken into consideration or we will see the local extinction of these threatened species.’ Horticluturist Diane Hart is concerned the Tallowood developmen will have areas cut to a depth of two metres, as with Chincogan View Estate, where Ms Hart lives. ‘I have

lived here for four years and have spent a lot of time and money “making soilâ€? just to get a basic garden going. In spite of this it is still almost impossible to grow many types of plants, including fruit trees and establish a vegetable garden as the roots rot in the solid white clay during wet weather.’ Following the DA refusal by Councillors last year, Crs Cameron, Tabart and Morrisey met on December 7 with the developers’ town planner Steve Connolly. According to a memo from Council’s executive manager of planning, Ray Darney, issues of concern included the location of the tree buffer along the road reserve on the ridge along the southern boundary and the short cul-desac to serve seven lots in stage 1 which impacts on adjacent rural residential. ‘Due to constraints, in particular flood liable lands‌ the yield may be less than expected in the Mullumbimby DCP,’ the memo notes. â– Comment, page 10, Letters,

Memories wanted of local history A Southern Cross University researcher is searching for older people living from Tweed Heads to Kyogle who can share their memories of the region’s early history. Theresa Mason, pictured, has embarked on her PhD research project – an oral history of the Northern Rivers – and already has many a fascinating tale to tell, thanks to locals sharing their stories for her earlier Honours project. Her interest in the region’s history began when she was editing and writing for The Village Journal, a local newspaper based in Rosebank, serving the rural areas between Dunoon, Federal and Bexhill. ‘I came across all of these older people who had fascinating stories to tell,’ she said. ‘Many of the stories around people’s experiences during the Great Depression and in times of war were particularly interesting. ‘People who lived on the land told me how it became essential for them to learn how to make their own fuel, and all sorts of mixes were developed

and tested in backyard sheds. Many people also self-converted cars, buses, trucks and farm machinery to run on coal gas. While there were some tragedies from explosions, many

of the designs were innovative and worked quite well.’ Theresa said that a lot of people had great ‘flood stories’ to tell. ‘One woman told me how, during the big 1945 flood, her

father hailed the cream boat that went from Coraki to Lismore, thinking it could drop them on the other side of the river because their house was flooding. ‘Instead, they were taken all the way to town where the boat was tied up to a hoop pine on the riverbank. Their family spent the night on board eating chunks of bread and cream, and early next morning, the waters had receded and they walked around town. ‘The woman said the papermâchĂŠ dress shop models in their beautiful gowns had collapsed onto the floors of the dress shops in the most grotesque attitudes, still with silly smiles on their faces.’ Theresa would like to gather as many oral histories as she can and is seeking 50 people aged 65 and over, living in the Tweed, Byron, Ballina, Lismore, Richmond Valley and Kyogle Shire areas, who would like to participate in her research. She can be contacted on 6688 2387 or by email at theresa.mason@scu.edu.au.

Woolies plans liquor store for the Bay Victoria Cosford

A development application for a Dan Murphy’s Liquor Superstore in Byron Bay has been submitted by Woolworths, according to Darren Pearce, general manager for the Cellar liquor stores (Byron Bay, Bangalow and Ballina). ‘About 50 different sources within the liquor industry are supporting evidence that a Dan Murphy Superstore is to be established in Byron Bay’, he told The Echo. ‘They are trying to hide the fact that it will be a Woolworths development by using a third party developer (Azzura Holdings Pty Ltd) to apply for the DA.’

‘Negative impacts’ Darren is aware that he has ‘an obvious vested interest in seeing no more liquor stores opening in Byron Bay’ – but his concern goes more deeply than that. The proposed site is on Jonson Street under the Dendy Cinema and will be more than 1,000 square metres in size – which is half the size of the Woolworths supermarket nearby. In a letter to the mayor Cr Jan Barham he points out that ‘in a town that has struggled with underage drinking problems in the past, we want to make sure that everyone understands the negative community impacts that could arise from the approval of such a DA. ‘The location for the new Discount Liquor Superstore is directly under the cinema (a popular teen hangout). Youths will have to file past the liqwww.echo.net.au

uor store in order to get inside the cinema. There is also a preschool and a toy library just across the road from the proposed Woolworths Liquor Store site, and a primary school about 100m away. Surely there are more appropriate locations that would minimise the exposure of children to the promotion of liquor?’ He argues that in other areas such as Sydney and the Gold Coast, Dan Murphy’s superstores are placed in industrial and large store retail areas. ‘Do we want Byron to look like the USA where strip malls have all the same huge corporate entities in every town?’

Family run Another objection is the fact that the existing bottle shops in Byron Bay are independently owned and family-run ‘with a vested interest in keeping Byron a unique and safe town’; furthermore, they have over the years developed full cooperation with the local police and Council to achieve a safer and more family-oriented atmosphere. A Dan Murphy’s would also threaten those bottle shops with ‘predatory pricing’ tactics, staff-cuts and possible closure. Traffic is another major issue. With the problems of congestion and parking in this small town continuing only to increase, and little likelihood of an impending solution, a new superstore (taking the space, moreover, of seven shopfronts) will only add to the critical situation as out-of-towners flock to Byron Bay for discount

liquor. Semi-trailers delivering stock will exacerbate the situation further. Darren Pearson told The Echo that, personal interests notwithstanding, ‘we just want to make sure that everyone is aware of all the issues involved, and then they can make their own minds up’. The February 2009 NSW Office of Liquor, Gaming and Racing Social Profile Report for Byron LGA identified that the area has significantly more liquor licences per head of population than the average for NSW, being 351 per 100,000 population for Byron LGA and only 220 per 100,000 population as the NSW average. The same report showed that the Byron Shire has 25% higher rates of high-risk drinking behaviour than the rest of NSW for adults and 10% higher rates for children. The rate of alcohol (non-do-

mestic violence-related) assaults is already about three times the state average. Team leader for BUDDI Community Drug Action Team Nicqui Yazdi said that ‘we don’t need another bottle shop in Byron Bay – we don’t need our kids having access to cheap alcohol!’ Darren said that ‘there are simply too many issues for it to be there... We wouldn’t be averse to Woolworths having a liquor store in Byron Bay or a Dan Murphy’s, if they were out at the Arts and Industry Estate – but not here in town, near a preschool! Council has to weigh up the pros and cons and I really don’t see many pros other than alcohol being a bit cheaper. It’s all very worrisome...’ At the time of going to press the Woolworths media spokesperson had not offered a comment.

Another supermarket for Byron Bay

Mandolin, guitar, red and green balloons and the bright yellow shirts of the Surf Rescue team adorned the entrance to the new SPAR supermarket in Byron Bay for its grand opening. Occupying a substantial portion of the building often referred to as Rapunzel’s Tower, the store was already doing a brisk trade within its cool, wide-aisled interior. Geoff Gale, general manager for merchandise and marketing, spoke enthusiastically to The Echo about its three levels of underground carpark, with free parking for all shoppers for the first two hours. President of Byron Bay Surf Rescue Team Neil Cameron surrounded by a small coterie of his Nippers said, ‘SPAR is donating a cheque for $5,000 to us, to help with the Nippers. SPAR approached us and it’s ideal for the Nippers: a lot of sponsorship is alcohol-related and this isn’t. Some of the Nippers have also been getting part-time jobs here.’ In fact SPAR is priding itself on its commitment to community and its local focus. CEO of the group Leigh Carson launched the opening with a brief rundown on the compa-

Leigh then introduced ‘local celebrity’ Mandy Nolan, who confessed that she had been thinking of wearing her bikini ‘because it is a Day SPAR’ but had decided instead to get dressed up.

He appeared for an initial hearing at Byron Bay court last Friday. The 23-year-old man was charged with three counts of possess prohibited drug, possess pill press, and cultivate prohibited plant. He was granted conditional bail to appear in court at a later date. Six search warrants were executed by police at locations including two premises on Bangalow Road at Byron Bay, Hakea Court at Mullumbimby, Pacific Highway at Bangalow, Byrrell Creek Road at Byrrell Creek, and Centennial Court at Byron Bay. The clandestine laboratory was discovered at Bangalow.

Evidence of manufacture was also uncovered at Byrrell Creek. Police located and seized a total of two pill presses, ecstasy tablets, LSD, cannabis, cocaine, steroids, precursors used in the manufacture of MDMA, as well as $4,000 cash.

What’s it like to be a young Iranian person struggling against age-old conventions in order to secure cultural freedom and the right to explore individual expression? Two films to be screened at the upcoming Byron Bay International Film Festival explore these issues and the lives of current day urban and rural Iranian youth. Shot entirely on location in Tehran, My Tehran for Sale brings to the screen never before seen images of modern urban Iran. A young female actress is banned from working in the theatre and ultimately dares to do this ‘in secret’ in order to express herself artistically. This film sheds light on how

some of the youth of Tehran occupy lives of duality that begin with the façade of lies and pretence they adopt before stepping out their front doors. The directorial debut of contemporary Iranian poet Granaz Moussavi, My Tehran for Sale was her attempt to encapsulate ‘the fear and how we learned to pretend all the time and were told how to behave according to the unwritten standards. We had to pretend to be old and sad while we were only young and like any other teens in the world’. Set in the northern rural province of Mazandaran the second film Wind Blows in the Meadow involves very different challenges. Shooka

is a hardworking and spirited young woman whose pre-arranged future marriage to a wealthy neighbour’s mentally impaired son does not currently occupy much of her focus. Until the day her father is suddenly and seriously injured in a logging accident. Pressured into proceeding with the marriage, Shooka’s lament over this destiny attracts the attention of the local tailor’s assistant who devises a number of tactics in order to stall the marriage. Its action is set amid the environmental destruction of logging in Iran’s northern forests. For more about the upcoming film festival, visit www.bbff. com.au.

Hartley runs for seat of Richmond Byron Bay resident Matthew Hartley has declared his candidacy as an independent for the federal election. The field so far also includes sitting Labor MP Justine Elliot, Nationals candidate Tania Murdock and Liberals candidate and former Tweed mayor Joan van Lieshout. ‘I have viewed with deep sadness and growing fury Kevin Rudd’s commitment to “a bigger Australia”,’ said Mr Hartley in a press release. ‘I have been shattered by his government’s dedication to keeping us burning coal. ‘I have felt betrayed as Peter Garrett became a parrot, supporting uranium mining and the logging of Tasmania’s old growth forests. I say no to 35 million people, yes to the new era of power and propulsion, and yes to a new way of doing agriculture, so I’m on a collision course with Kevin Rudd. ‘Regrettably, I will contest the seat of Richmond at the next election. The ALP has chosen high population growth, cronyism, corruption and decrepitude. They insist on a path of high debt, high house prices, and high immigration. They absolutely refuse to switch from coal. www.echo.net.au

‘They choose to continue supporting chemical, corporate farming. No. This is the stuff I hoped they would change. The reason I joined them was to defeat Howard and his dark path. Now we find out that on these major issues, the ALP is committed only to mining companies, construction companies, bank debt, herbicides and pesticides. ‘The solutions to our difficulties are neither expensive, nor difficult, nor time consuming. They do contradict, however, the aims of the current corrupt political donation arrangements. Kevin wants 35 million people to feed the building in-

dustry, funded by us. He wants high house prices, to push up debt and feed the bankers’ bonuses. He avoids the switch to zero-emission industry, to prop up his coal and oil cronies. He is a spin merchant, and a man of straw, and it has made me deeply sick. ‘And our local MP Justine Elliot? Even the ALP members haven’t heard from her for two years. No response to questions on any of the above issues. A zero. ‘I would challenge her within the party, but I am assured “head office would never allow it” and that the branch is well and truly stacked. So be it. ‘Can I expect to win? No. I can expect humiliating and crushing defeat. However, I will not stand by for the destruction of my country. I can hope to swell the discussion of these issues within the community, and change the direction of policy. So, let the debates begin. Population, Power, and Primary Production. ‘My policies? Let’s start with zero net immigration, the switch to clean energy, and the agricultural policies of Peter Andrews. Price tag? Zero. It’s not even difficult.’ <echowebsection=Local News>

New novel by local author explores the impact of war Victoria Cosford

Mullumbimby-based writer Laura Bloom has just had her latest novel In The Mood published by Penguin. Set in post-war Sydney, it explores the effects that the war has on a young married couple during the three years they were apart. Told respectively from the points of view of both Catherine and Robert Booker, the story weaves back and forth between the present, 1946, and

the years preceding it. When Robert’s letters to Catherine dwindle away she believes that he has stopped loving her, or been killed – and is thus precipitated into a relationship with a US marine followed by a pregnancy. Robert for his part is unable to share the horrors to which he was he was exposed with Catherine, and so it is that the once-happy couple must wrestle with the rifts of lies, deception, repression as well as the significant personal changes each has undergone

during their years apart. The plight of the women left behind is handled with a matter-of-factness which only underscores its poignancy and its delicacy; the writing more moving for its absence of sentimentality. ‘What did the men think they were up to that was so important? … In all their haste and fuss they had left her alone and vulnerable and she would never forgive Robert for doing it to her. ‘She would never forgive him for abandoning her.

give him for not writing...’ Earlier on, ‘He (Lewis) never said he loved her. He gave her his attention, that was all. That was everything. Whatever she did, from catching the train to boiling vegetables, it glowed in the light of his regard. Without him even being there to give it to her, she marvelled. It became interesting because they might talk about it...’ The book is a moving and perceptive account of relationships tested by adversity and miscommunication, an honest appraisal of human flaws and frailty. Laura spoke to The Echo about In The Mood’, the first in a series of novels she will write, set at various times during the 20th century and all threaded with the theme of trauma and repression.

It’s so true, especially for Australia. There is a culture of silence regarding the war in this country: we don’t talk about it much. In America there are a lot of narratives but not here. The silence is a cultural norm and yet I think it’s important to know what to do with trauma and repression. It was only after writing this book that I realised how much I was interested in trauma and repression. Should you talk about it, or just push it away? I think that it is so important

How to recover from that, to get over the past, to heal and forgive and move on are things I have always been deeply interested in. I’m interested in how strong people were during the war and it seems to me that now in this wonderful time of peace we should use the opportunity to heal as a society – by having better relationships, by recovering from things in a way the previous generations could not...

The characters and the stories are coming from different places but it’s like a jigsaw puzzle : they’ll all eventually fit together. There’s a special moment when it all coalesces... I also love the way stories don’t necessarily have a resolution! What does writing mean to you?

Council launches mobility maps Byron Shire Council has launched its first official Mobility Map, covering the key retail centres of Byron Bay, Mullumbimby, Bangalow and Brunswick Heads. The maps are designed to inform people with limited mobility, including those in wheelchairs, on walking frames, gophers and even those using prams about how to access facilities. The initiative was outlined as one of the main priority areas in Byron Shire Council’s Disability Access and Inclusion Plan 2008-2013 for the improvement of access.

<echowebsection=Local News>

Disability Officer Karen Ingleman said Council is committed to ensuring people with a disability can access services and facilities in the Shire. ‘This map provides very valuable information and assists people with limited mobility to access facilities,’ she said. One side of the printed map includes locations of accessible toilets, car parks, kerb crossings, steep gradients, ATMs, taxi stands and bus stops. The other side provides further information about public amenities and the Master Locksmith’s Access Key (MLAK) system, transport,

parking and important contact numbers in the Shire. Copies of the maps are available in Byron Bay at the Visitors’ Centre and Community and Cultural Centre; Brunswick Heads at the Visitor Information Centre; Bangalow at Heath’s Old Wares and Heritage House; Mullumbimby at the Newsagent, Museum and Council’s administration centre. The map is also available at www.byron.nsw.gov.au/disability/council-services or by contacting Ms Ingleman on 6626 7000 or karen.ingleman@ byron.nsw.gov.au. www.echo.net.au

Water safety ‘rashies’ were recently donated to the Byron Bay Surf Life Saving Club by local cafĂŠ Byron Beach CafĂŠ.

The Club has expressed its gratitude to the Byron Beach CafĂŠ for its support and generosity.

Operation Edge wraps up The Australian Lifeguard Service has concluded its summer safety campaign, Operation Edge. The service, in partnership with local councils, commenced patrols on more than 90 beaches along the northern NSW coast on Saturday, December 19, 2009, utilising more than 350 employed lifeguards. During the five and a half week period, 652 people needed to be rescued. The vast majority of these were relatively easy rescues where people found themselves in deeper water and were unable to cope. Unfortunately, there have been eight coastal deaths

in NSW since the beginning of Operation Edge, all of these being on unpatrolled beaches or well outside the red and yellow flags. During the summer holidays, lifeguards carried out 103,063 preventative actions, with more than 17,500 warnings being issued in the Byron Shire, just over 13,000 on Port Stephens Council beaches, more than 8,500 warnings in the Great Lakes area and more than 8,300 actions in the Tweed Shire. Lifeguards provided first aid and emergency care treatment to 6,848 people. Many of these were minor cuts, lacerations and marine stings.

Mad monk fails the chastity test Volume 24 #34

February 2, 2010

Where to, Mullum? When I first visited Mullumbimby in 1974 you could pretty much walk down the middle of the main street at midday and not be bothered by a car. Since I moved here in 1988 the change has been incremental but in its own way significant. Despite its lack of beaches, Mullum has now registered on the national radar as a great place to visit and seachangers from Sydney priced out of the coastal market have willingly morphed into treechangers. When former dairy farmers started selling their land to the hairy ‘new settlers’ in the early 70s they hardly could have envisaged the changes to come. Now the old new settlers find themselves faced with the increasing complexity of a changing town and hinterland. Change is the only constant, as the saying goes. You can’t stop some change but you can try to regulate it. Byron Shire has been successful in this endeavour to a considerable degree – there are no high-rises on our coast, for instance. Even the state government’s 2006 Far North Coast Regional Strategy sees only 2,660 new dwellings for the shire out to 2031. (That figure is under threat from ad hoc development and by the Minister’s power to call in proposals on a case-by-case basis and consider them in isolation.) The immediate agents for change on the horizon for Mullum are the recently approved Woolworths supermarket onsite sewerage system and the proposed Tallowood Ridge Estate subdivision on the western edge of town. Woolworths used the Land and Environment Court process to get around a Council refusal; the Tallowood developers are attempting to do the same. Both proposals have attracted spirited opposition. Should Woolworths choose to go ahead with its supermarket – and the company seems keen to do so – the choice is up to local residents as to whether or not they wish to support it. Whether or not that mysterious ‘silent majority’ wants to shop at Woolworths will be clearly demonstrated. The choice is between a national corporation whose main ambition is shareholder satisfaction through diverse interests such as the gambling industry and local traders who support sustainable agriculture, less packaging and fewer food miles. Tallowood developers Sarah and Eric Freeman (Bayview Land Development) went to court on a ‘deemed refusal’ after Council took more than 40 days to consider what is a complex proposal. Then Councillors on November 12 last year voted 5-3 to knock back the DA, citing 15 reasons for refusal. However Bayview Land Development got around the perennial problem of sewerage capacity on September 10 when Councillors voted to support the company’s application to the NSW Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal (IPART) for a licence to operate an onsite sewage management system. Apart from environmental issues such as impact on the floodplain, those opposing the development are concerned about its potential scale and density. In a letter of January 7, 2009, to Council’s planning director, Eric Freeman advised that 400 families could be living in the subdivision, obviously a lot more than offered by the 31 lots in the first stage. No doubt some neighbours would prefer no development at all or, failing that, something more like the larger blocks of nearby Brushbox Drive. Like the advent of Woolworths, Tallowood involves ethical and planning choices which will define the future character of Mullumbimby. A large part of that choice has again been taken out of local hands. – Michael McDonald, editor

here are many things to celebrate on Australia Day, but perhaps the most important is that it marks the end of the silly season. It is the time politicians and the media dust themselves off and start on the serious business of the year. Or at least they would have if Tony Abbott had not told the Women’s Weekly that he would advise his daughters to sit on it until they were married. Actually if he had put it as straightforwardly as that there probably wouldn’t have been much of a fuss. Some might have derided him as a bit oldfashioned (or, as his 18 year old daughter Frances put it, ‘a lame, gay, churchy loser’) but a lot of traditional parents might have shrugged in mute agreement. However, Abbott being Abbott, he had to take it further. After all, the Weekly was doing an extensive piece on his favourite subject – himself – and indeed on his favourite aspects of it – ethics and beliefs, creed and credo. So Abbott felt constrained to add that virginity was a gift from God to a woman, and the most precious gift she could give to a man. By way of later explanation he insisted that he wasn’t preaching – this was simply the advice that he would give to his own three daughters, although given that two of them had already reached adulthood it could still be seen as a touch patronising. But no-one really believed him. The worst fears of the moderates, both inside and outside the Liberal Party, were confirmed: Captain Catholic was back in charge. The Mad Monk just couldn’t help himself; he was incapable of drawing the line between public policy and private morals. And in Australia, this was always going to be a bummer.

T

Actually Abbott received more support than he probably expected; talkback radio ended up slightly in his favour thanks to a blitz by women of a certain age (and possibly also a certain religion). And the most severe critics tended to be the usual suspects: feminists such as Catherine Lumby and Eva Cox, who were generally seen as political fringe-dwellers at best. Kevin Rudd sensibly laid low and said nothing, and his

self,’ he had replied: ‘Well, yes, I did.’ And indeed he had, and more. It is on the record that while studying in the seminary to become a priest, his lust was so overwhelming that he was forced to appoint a personal celibacy adviser. This hapless individual was not up to the job; Abbott jumped the wall and quickly gained a name for successful lechery at Sydney University. There was an unfortunate

The more serious underlying complaint was about the idea that a woman’s virginity could be regarded as no more than a gift to a man. by Mungo MacCallum deputy Julia Gillard restrained herself to the terse observation that Australian women could make their own choices and did not want to be lectured by Tony Abbott. Even this was too much for the Liberals’ normally sensible legal affairs spokesmen George Brandis who said Gillard had no right to talk about families because she didn’t have one herself. The quick response was that Gillard was not talking about families but about Tony Abbott, and that Brandis would presumably also disqualify the Pope and all celibate clergy from the debate; indeed, perhaps he should disqualify himself from discussing women and children since he did not have a womb. But the real argument centred around Abbott’s hypocrisy, which he at least acknowledged; after all he could hardly deny it. Rather sheepishly he admitted that when his daughters said to him: ‘But daddy, you did all those things your-

experience when one girl with whom he was playing Vatican roulette becoming pregnant, and the child was adopted out; years later Abbott was reunited with the man whom he thought was his son but whom tests showed had another father altogether. And there are many unedifying anecdotes about his time at St Johns, the Catholic residential college of Sydney University. They are best summed up by a fellow student who prefers to remain anonymous: ‘Tony would fuck a hole in the wall if it had hair around it.’ Thus when he claimed that he was urging restraint upon young men as well as young women, there was a certain amount of coarse laughter. But the more serious underlying complaint was about the idea that a woman’s virginity, and therefore presumably her entire sex life, could be regarded as no more than a gift to a man.

his generation’s answer to Screaming Lord Sutch, Gibbering Lord Monckton, is so obviously loony that under normal circumstances Australians would treat his ravings with the contempt they deserve. But alas, these are not normal times; the antiscience brigade is not only on the march, but is making the running on the whole issue of climate change. They have been helped along by some very powerful financial backers and some influential allies in the media, but what has given them a real lift is the revelation that some of the advocates for the case for global warming have been shown to be over-enthusiastic and in some cases just plain wrong. These flaws, according to the sceptics, show that the whole scientific edifice painstakingly erected over a decade is shonky; scientists are not to be trusted, and it is likely that the earth is flat after all, just as reasonable people have always suspected. Of course they show nothing of the kind; 99 percent of the science, supported by 99 percent of qualified scientists, remains intact. By any rational standard the case for manmade global warming is beyond argument, even if all the details cannot be quantified. But in political terms, we are just about back to square one. It is to be hoped that people of good will from all parties can restore some sanity to the debate. The fact that Tony Abbott and even Barnaby Joyce have shunned numerous invitations to associate themselves and their parties with Monckton’s outrageous demagoguery is a hopeful start.

Letters

Tallowood comes before the court I would be grateful if you could draw to the attention of your readers the imminent court case that will be taking place on February 8 that will decide the future of the Mullumbimby Creek valley. The developer has put in an application at this stage for 31 residential lots, however this is only the first stage of a massive development of up to 400 new houses that will completely change Mullumbimby as we now know it. There will be an increase in the population of the town of over a third, with major stresses on all of the town’s services and infrastructure. As we all know our roads, schools and medical services are already in a poor state and simply cannot cope with such an expansion. This is by far the biggest ever development to hit Mullumbimby in its entire history and yet the issue has had hardly any publicity and the developer has made no meaningful attempt to consult with us, the people of Byron Shire, as to what we see as important in the development of our town. The DA for the first 31 lots is an important test case for deter-

mining how the rest of the development proceeds. It has been refused by Byron Shire Council on multiple grounds and the developers are hoping that the upcoming hearing with the Land and Environment Court will give them licence to ignore not only the reasons that Council have given for refusing the DA but also the concerns of the 83 residents who raised objections to the original application (only one submission was in favour of the application). The parallels with the Woolworths case here are notable with the views of our democratically elected council and its ratepayers being cast aside by a pro-development state authority. There are many reasons why residents should be concerned about the Tallowood development in its current form as it will impact all of us, our town, our environment, rural amenity and threatened and endangered species. The issue is also one of upholding our local democracy and our right to have our voices heard. The court case will be held over four days from Monday February 8 to Thursday 11 with the onsite component of the

proceedings taking place at 9am out my investigations. I submit this information in on the Monday on Tuckeroo Avenue, at which many of us the interest of the public.

my friends and I found on the beach at The Wreck on Sunday January 24 at around 9pm. This shark had a large hook in its mouth. It seems like a thoughtless fishing person had caught the shark and begun to gut it. For reasons unknown, perhaps because they realised that the shark was pregnant, they then left the dead shark on the beach. Next to the shark lay a baby shark. My friends and I placed the baby shark in the water and it swam away. As we thought that there might be more babies that might live, we went to our car, got a knife and went back to the shark. We cut a small hole in the dead shark to try to get any babies out. To our amazement nine babies came out of the shark. Most were alive although some had not fully developed. We released them all into the ocean hoping some would survive. I thought this shire was a marine reserve. I have never seen anything like this in my life. This shark would not have hurt anyone. Why did someone kill it so cruelly?

Bouquets to Duncan ShipleySmith and Robin Harrison (Letters, January 26) for some sensible observations about climate change. The one thing you can be sure of in Australia is that for about half the year it will be some degree of warmish and for the rest of the year it will be some degree of coolish – depending on where you live. Rain will come as it pleases. You’ve only to look at how varying rainfall is in different locations in this area to see that. Brickbats to Mungo MacCallum for calling Prince William a chinless wonder. He clearly hasn’t looked at the man’s photographs carefully. Why does MacC wear a beard?

This is short and sweet but something I think you ought to know. A friend of mine went into Woolworths at Tweed and bought two packets of soap powder and at the cash register was asked if she would like a plastic bag which would cost her another ten cents. No, thank you, was her reply. Enough said.

I think Leonard Cohen sums it all up:

If a smaller supermarket with a gross area of say 1200 square metres had been adopted, it would have been possible to include a sewage treatment system on site without having to break Council regulations for treatment of sewage on site. In addition, a smaller supermarket would have had much less visual impact on the surrounding residential area. It would also have had less negative impact on existing fresh food outlets in the town if the supermarket did not include meat sales. It may be too late to reduce the size of the supermarket but I am writing to the directors of Woolworths suggesting that the size is reduced. If it was, I think that much of the opposition by residents might evaporate. May I suggest that as many as possible do the same thing. Either contact mullumaction.org or me on 6684 4996 to obtain the addresses of the directors. Chris Abraham

Mullumbimby Creek ■ When Woolworths establish a centre in a town they advertise that they are renowned for their lower prices and that they employ a great number of people. That is absolutely true! They undercut the prices of every small business in the town then employ the people they have disenfranchised. Then they put up their prices to whatever the locals’ wallets can stand. Ya don’t get rich and powerful by being kind to your competition, y’know.

Our biggest growth arises from conflict. Woolworths have provided that and given us a good shakeup and in the process we have learnt the effects they can have on a unique local community, how small shops can close up and depression hit the High Street. Maitland, Bowral and Mittagong are examples, and a movie on www.loveyourlocals.com.au interviews small shopkeepers impacted by the duopoly. Now we have the choice to roll over and get squashed or rise up and become stronger. We still can try and persuade Woolworths directors that building in Mullumbimby is a bad idea – the locals don’t want it. We can start up initiatives like a free bus for shoppers from Byron Plaza over to IGA in Byron. We can take direct action such as Maleny’s ‘Wotting’ idea (see www.mullumaction.org newsletters and search ‘wotting’) or we can simply support our local farmers markets and get lovely fresh produce that gives our farmers a fair go and keeps our dollars in our Shire. Please send your campaign ideas to www.mullumaction. org and shop local to stay local. Deborah Lilly

they have treated our community and the system. It is incredible that this company can do what they want, where they want and don’t even take responsibility for those they harm. Do any of the hundreds of houses that will be adversely affected get any compensation? No. Not even a consideration. Who do we sue when the floodwaters start coming into our house rather than pooling on that site as it had always done? Woolworths? Is it really fair to be suddenly driving trucks up two-lane country roads seven days a week and causing a bottleneck into and out of our town? Will the police respond to our noise complaint calls? And what will become of the currently largest shop in town when they move out? Will it just sit there empty like the old Stewart Motors site? Imagine if we came together to make Mullumbimby one of the best towns in Australia by becoming more and more sustainable. Bring on the farmer’s markets, it’s about time. Keep getting those rebated solar hot water systems, solar power and water tanks. You can buy anything you want at garage sales. Everyone wins, except those who advocate greed, consumption and waste. I also believe we should start thinking about what we will do with that ugly concrete eyesore when they slink out of town because people in Mullumbimby still want to live in a beautiful, diverse, dynamic community and boycott them. I suggest a hostel for the homeless. It is an issue that needs to be addressed, it needs a site close to town and a big building. We could easily pretty it up. What do you think?

The Land and Environment Court’s recent ruling in favour of Woolworths in Mullumbimby has set a new precedent for urban onsite ‘sewers on bogs’. The Sydney Commissioner’s precedent approval disregards local policy and guidelines allowing sewage treatment and disposal on Woolworths floodprone and often waterlogged horse paddock in the middle of our town. Although deemed inadequate and refused by the Byron Shire Council, they are now the ones holding the Commissioner’s baby. Our Council must now oversee the building and the monitoring of Woolworths ‘sewer on a bog’ – they are the authority that is now ultimately responsible for Woolworths ludicrously complex and expensive onsite ‘sewer on a bog’ adequately protecting our public’s health and environment. I, and many others, expect Woolworths has little intention of building such an expensive and complex onsite system. I expect the whole long drawn-out legal battle has been simply for the purpose of obtaining the Construction Certificate. The Certificate that allows building to be commenced prior to the town’s sewer upgrade. A sewage moratorium-jumping ploy that has cost ratepayers a very large sum of money. After two years of the campaign that has featured across the national media to keep Mullumbimby Woolworthsfree, the giant corporation must be very keen to get their building on the ground – keen to show no-one stands in the way of the prolific and hungry corporation.

unsupervised party with ‘the wrong crowd’, the best defence is to attack. Enter the station, formidable mum with all lips blazing. Picture it, the uniforms are reeling, request dad to try and quell the onslaught, he replies that he is only the 50% minority stakeholder in their relationship so just let ’er go. ‘It won’t end here, we’ll go to the papers, to your superiors, the ombudsman, etc.’ Then the clincher, an unnamed barrister from the big smoke has offered his services (free of charge, mind you) to challenge the police over the tit for tat law. Well that’s that then, Rumpole of Balmain, how can the dudes possibly compete? Mr Echo declares the goodies have won over the ‘dudes’.

Japanese whaling Sue Arnold last week wrote a fine article for The Echo on Japanese whaling activities in the SouthernOceans. However, one could note her despair as she pointed up so many aspects of the deadlock. I rather think

that Sue accepts that the Japanese will cease whaling when it suits them to do so. Japan has no real need for this food source, the 15,000 tonnes of edible whale product from 1,000 whales annually is a minuscule part of the nation’s food requirement. Further, we can be assured that the Japanese will not harvest whales to the point of extinction but will eventually cease this activity for economic or diplomatic reasons, just as Australia did but a few years back. However, to even speak of sanctions against Japan is quite unrealistic. To endeavour to balance the fate of 1,000 whales against trade benefit is not on the agenda of Japan’s trading partners – especially Australia. Further, to encourage the violent and piratical tactics of one Captain Paul Watson and the Sea Shepherd is counterproductive and should not be supported. The Sea Shepherd has achieved exactly nothing of consequence, perhaps only irritating the Japanese, at the same time hardening their resolve to continue what they are doing. Violence is not the way to go. Finally, noting other world priorities, all that we can do is continue to pressure governments who will keep on stalling until such time as the Japanese make their own decision.

Poor view To answer Mr Syd Geary’s question (Letters, January 26) the reader commenting on the view from Main Beach has obviously travelled a little and has maybe noticed that every pub on the Australian coast is boasting a marvellous view when instead what they do offer is in fact spaces between and above cars, what you see when sipping your drink from every coastal hotel outdoor area is mostly lots of cars. It is about time people started to complain about this state of affairs. What a waste of fabulous scenery, a blatant lack of appreciation for our wonderful seascapes. Nicole Marinacce

National Parks scam

We have all noted the continued and to date successful appropriations of public space by National Parks to develop their high end party house holiday let portfolio on the Clarkes Beach foreshore. This agenda being developed in collaboration with our Mayor Ms Jan Barham, Byron Shire Council representative on the Board of Management during the relevant period. One can only wonder at the apparent double standards these developments represent when compared with those being imposed on the residents of Richard Kidby Belongil and elsewhere in the Mullumbimby community. The justification posed for this public park land grab as in the current proposed changes to the Cape Byron Management Plan (conversion of the Pass Café to high end holiday lets) is the perennial cry of the need for more money for park management. If indeed this is the case, then perhaps park management led by Sue Walker should address the apparent inconsistent use

Territorial imperatives ■ Local politics is a fun game played passionately around here, and everyone is looking for a way to push their agenda.This can lead to territorial incursions that must be repelled! Recently we have noticed that that the Ocean Shores Urban Association had declared in the free magazine Gold Coast Aussie Gateways that it was representing,and speaking for, New Brighton and South Golden Beach, on the grounds that several members of the OSUA also owned property in NB and/or SGB. Under that doctrine OSCA will probably declare that it represents Brisbane city, and quite possibly Sydney as well! New Brigthon and South Golden Beach both have long standing progress associations that have been around for decades, helping these communities with issues such as flooding, developement on the floodplain, bikepaths and

New Brighton ■ South Golden Beach, Fern Beach, New Brighton, Billinudgel and Yelgun each has its own character, as do other hamlets in the north of the shire, and the residents of these areas think of themselves as living in their respective communities. They do not think of themselves as residents either of Brunswick Heads or Ocean Shores, even though they share a postal code with both of those towns. Yet, on its website, the Ocean Shores Community Associa-

Local Indigenous artists exhibited 210 separate paintings and artefacts.

In addition, OSCA is listed on its website as the only community association in existence in the area, implying that OSCA speaks for all of the residents in the north of the shire. Readers should know that the South Golden Beach Progress Association, the New Brighton Village Association, and the Yelgun Progress Association exist and should be recognised as community associations in their own right. They all offer members opportunities for community involvement, camaraderie with neighbours, and a chance to help shape life in their respective areas for the better. They are decidedly separate from OSCA and do not necessarily share the perspectives of OSCA. Kath Norley

■ Comps to D Shipley-Smith and R Harrison (Letters, January 26) for pointing out the often overlooked ongoing issues on our planet besides global warming. The one thing missing is a possible explanation of the nature of the scam and so I offer this scenario. We live in a market economy which dictates that when a thing becomes scarce the price of it goes up. With a little research it is clear that every aspect of our lives is impacted by the natural resource of oil. It is also clear that it is running out. So by encouraging reduction in the use of all goods and services that rely on petrochemicals, including electricity, we are only allowing the producers to have their existing reserves longer and thereby charge higher prices for its scarcity. I predict the petroleum and energy industries will make

more money in the next 20 years than they have in the last 100 and we will be happy to pay the price. Finally, to those ardent believers in anthropocentric global warming. Please keep feeling guilty and avoid looking beyond the hyperbole that fuels this mass hysteria, but remember environmental damage was being done long before global warming. Jim Barnes

Brunswick Heads ■ ‘To every complex problem there is a simple and obvious solution, which is wrong’, or words to that effect, said someone. In the case of climate change caused by increasing greenhouse gases, the simple and obvious solution it seems is ‘plant more trees’ (Letters, January 26). Such a solution may appeal to the simple-minded

<echowebsection=Letters>

(watch for Tony Abbot’s climate change policy) but a small amount of rational thought will show how wrong it is. If you could find enough land with good enough soil and enough water to grow good trees, you could offset the CO2 emissions from fossil fuels for a while, until the trees reach maturity and stop absorbing CO2. In the meantime, without action to reduce them, CO2 emissions would have continued to grow, to perhaps four or five times what they are now. so once the trees stop absorbing CO2 you will be hit with a huge rush of CO2 into the atmosphere. Add the continuing increases in other greenhouse gases as well, not being absorbed by the trees, and you have a recipe for disaster. The only realistic way to address greenhouse gas emis-

sions is to take action against as many sources as possible, because any source that is ignored is likely to keep increasing, undermining efforts in other areas. For fossil fuel CO2 emissions, a carbon tax or emissions trading scheme (a proper one, not Krudd and Wrong’s pretend version) seems the most efficient basic policy, but is not enough on its own – we also need direct interventions such as the renewable energy target and incentives to develop large scale renewable energy sources such as solar thermal and geothermal. Ending deforestation and planting trees can be a significant part of such a policy, and have many other benefits as well, but they are nowhere near being a solution on their own.

Byron Shire celebrates its achievers Story of survival Story & photo Lou Beaumont

The official Australia Day Ceremony 2010 on January 26 celebrated its inaugural year at a new venue, the Bangalow A&I Hall. New citizens joined the Australian ranks and community members were acknowledged for outstanding achievements in both community work, events and sports. Yvonne Stewart of the Arakwal Corporation opened proceedings with Welcome to Country and said it was a great honour to be invited by Byron Shire Council to the official ceremony for the first time. Stewart said, ‘Today is a day we also call Survival Day. I think there is room to remember both histories today and celebrate the creation of this country we all live in. The Arakwal acknowledge everybody’s past and future and are themselves participating more and more in community.’ Mayor Jan Barham was MC and introduced a young Grace Hughes to sing the anthem, Rita Cowled of the Bangalow Historical Society who welcomed all to the proceedings, and John Singh, a long time Bangalow resident and 32 year member of the Lions Club, who gave the Australia Day Address.

Realising dreams Ann Snell was our Australia Day Ambassador and felt she had ‘hit the jackpot’ when asked to visit the Byron Shire. A gallery owner since the age of 23, Snell spoke of the opportunities available to Australians. ‘An individual can work towards their individual dream. Nobody told me I couldn’t open my gallery space. ‘I have been lucky enough to travel to remote communities of Australia. While I was

moved by the dynamic indigenous art, it was hard not to notice the poor living conditions. I noticed an instant assertion in purpose and pride when members of the community picked up a paintbrush. It was then that I decided to specialise in showing works by indigenous artists.’ Mayor Jan Barham, together with the Ambassador, presented the Award Ceremony.

Citizen of Year The Citizen of the Year award went to Nicqui Yazdi for her dedicated community work. A shire resident for 12 years and an active community worker for eight years, Yazdi has ‘worked tirelessly to sup-

port and initiate activities that protect, and minimise harm for, young people in Byron Shire. She is an extremely hard working volunteer and a brave, resilient and tenacious person who is not afraid to challenge the status quo.’ Mayor Barham continued, ‘She has taken on responsibility and leadership roles like a true professional and her dedication to community development is outstanding. She has shown an outstanding level of commitment to improving the community’s abilities and skills in mental health first aid, as well as giving many hours of her time to support initiatives involving caring for young people in our community.’ As much as she objected in

Big breakfast at Brunswick Story & photo Eve Jeffery

Banner Park in Brunswick Heads hosted the biggest Australia Day breakfast yet when hundreds gathered to munch on snags in bread and sing along with Aussie tunes in the Housie Tent. So many traditions have been instilled in the annual event that it is becoming one of the biggest drawcards on the Australia Day calendar – to the point where the Lions Club’s famous snag and onion production line was scraping the bottom of the barrel, the Quota Club ladies with sauce and juice were flat out like a lizard drinking and members of the Bruns SLSC Nippers were running backwards and forwards between the tent, where they were applying flag www.echo.net.au

jest to the precursor of ‘Senior’, Cecile Ann Sharp was awarded Senior Citizen of the Year. A community worker for 60 years and a resident of Byron Shire for 37 years, she has been involved in countless organisations, including Legacy and extensively the Anglican Parish. Mayor Barham said, ‘She has a way of being able to share time with everyone and is willing to help those in need at any time. She is very caring, loving, supportive and helpful, and has given timeless hours to all her commitments as a volunteer.’ Volunteer of the Year went to Gregg Miller, Deputy Captain and Secretary of the Byron Bay Rural Fire Service. Miller is an active volunteer firie, attending many emergency incidents and was also one of the team members sent to Victoria for the Black Saturday fires. Barham said of Miller, ‘He spends countless hours collecting money for the Brigade on a monthly basis and at times will collect on behalf of the Salvation Army when they cannot collect on their normal nights.

Dedication ‘The Byron Bay Rural Fire Brigade believes this is a welldeserved award due to this man’s dedication to the Service and Shire. Nothing is ever a problem for him and he is always available to respond when an emergency occurs.’ An inaugural award for Environmental Volunteer Project of the Year was given to the Green and Clean Awareness Team which has been responsible for dune and foreshore care on Main and Clarkes Beach since 1997. Winners of the Northern Rivers regional winner of the Keep Australia Beautiful 2009 Clean Beach Challenge, the volunteer project involves rubbish and weed removal, dune stabilisation, revegetation and foreshore beautification, as well as public and student education. Community Event of the Year was Carols by the Sea, supported and sponsored by the Byron Bay Ministers’ Fellow-

For Aboriginal people and all Australians of immigrant backgrounds, the Byron Bay Survival event is a shared recognition of the importance of this day for Aboriginal people. It is the Byron community’s recognition that every Aboriginal person has a direct unbroken family connection to the event on this day a few hundred years ago. With a celebration of song and the sharing of food, the broad community, both black and white, came together in the spirit of reconciliation to commemorate our shared history, and to build an inclusive and equitable future. The annual Australia Day Survival Celebration was a Byron Shire Council sponsored event. The day was organised by the Sisters For Reconciliation, the Cavanbah Reconciliation Group and the local Bundjalung mob of Byron Bay. – words and photo courtesy John Lazarus

ship of the combined Churches of Byron Bay. The Fellowship has conducted Carols in Byron Bay for the past 10 years and Carols by the Sea since 2006. Senior Sportsperson of the Year was awarded to Neil Moran, ‘an inspirational Rugby Union player and outstanding role model for younger players.’

‘Heroic’ Barham also said, ‘As well as his heroic performances on the field he has been the chairman of the Richard Allen 14 Fund, the fundraising effort of the group resulting in the building of a special purpose house in Bangalow for injured rugby player Richie Allen and his family.’ Marlie Campton, 11 years old, received the Junior Sportsperson of the Year award. Mayor Barham said of the young athlete, ‘She is an in-

spiration to her school and the wider Bangalow community – she is modest about her achievements, trains hard and has a fiery determination to do her very best each time she competes. Not only is she noted for her involvement in sports but she is also a positive role model to peers, a student leader, and has also represented her school in public speaking.’ Jan Barham, as ever, emphasised the need for the acknowledgement of the volunteers in our wider community. She said, ‘It is important to reflect on who we are. Volunteers of our community help out across so many diverse areas. If you are not a volunteer you are missing out. The joy you get back is manifold. Many new residents come from the city and don’t realise what keeps us enaged, involved and resilient as a community is of a volunteer nature.’

Meeting Uncle Bob

Trevor Wilson: a retrospective

Kali Wendorf

Tay Wilson

Uncle Bob and I sat quietly together huddled over our coffees at the Sydney domestic airport awaiting his 7am flight. Not one to leave too little time for departure, he made sure we arrived by five. The airport was practically deserted in that early hour, and we had the café to ourselves. We’d just finished two days working together, recording his story for Stories of Belonging, an anthology of stories I was asked by Finch publishing to compile, contribute to, and edit. It was the perfect assignment for a homesick Northern New Mexican, and had become for me, in effect, a pilgrimage into the heart of belonging. Bob’s story was one of being stolen from his mothers, aunties and uncles at Angus Downs Station when he was just a boy. But for Uncle Bob, a traditional elder, every moment was a chance to share more stories and this morning was no exception. I’ll not forget the effect his stories had on me, how my heart turned childlike, so the soul of the story could enter, without obstruction from a jaded adult mind. He spoke of many things that morning: of death, and trees, of rocks, of ceremony, of Kuniya the carpet snake, and grannies, his cheeks wet with tears. Something strange happened to me then. Something irreversible. His words, and the spaces in between, broke open the construct of my world, shattered by the light of another, deeper, truer way of living. A sudden profound sadness overcame me, about my culture, about all the busy people rushing past, oblivious to the prison they were in. I began to cry, and the cries turned into sobs. We sat there together

It’s almost a year on since the world lost a great man to cancer. On February 6, 2009, Trevor John Wilson, professional musician and longtime resident of Main Arm, lost a surprisingly brief six month battle with cancer. Born in Auckland, New Zealand in 1949, he teamed up with Kevin Borich, Bruce Howard, Brett Neilson and Phil Keys to form the Mergers in 1963, which was later renamed The La De Das in 1964. The band rapidly came to prominence in the New Zealand music scene, gaining a residency and a considerable following at the Galaxy Club. They crossed the Tasman in May 1967 for a four week tour and returned to Australia in August 1968 where they quickly became the talk of the town, and one of the frontrunners of the Melbourne music scene. Trevor left the band in 1970 while on a tour of England to pursue a solo career with the Warner Brothers label. He released a couple of singles which had limited success but eventually split due to artistic differences. In 1972 Trevor joined a group called Home with Glen Mason which lasted about 18 month. During this time he ran a boarding house for other musicians in Sydney. He continued in his musical endeavours and eventually moved to Melbourne at the end of 1973, and continued playing in a band called The Band of Light. Due to lineup changes and musical direction this became the Band of Angels. In 1975 he formed the Magic Pudding which had a much more country/folk/Irish feel and had a very large following until 1979 when he left Melbourne and moved the family north to Mullumbimby He achieved his dream of recreating his own upbringing for his children by owning his own ‘patch’, which was a house and five acres, when he purchased a share in an MO at Durrumbul in 1984. He still continued in his

for some time, weeping softly, our arms around each other – an island in the centre of the awakening bustling stream of commuters. ‘Are you crying for my people?’ he asked after some time. ‘No,’ I replied, ‘I’m crying for mine.’ He nodded slowly. He knew what I meant. In Uncle Bob’s company there emerged a glimpse into another possibility for being human – one absent of endless striving and pressure. It was a permission to live full-statured, sovereign and divine, without any need to prove, perform or attain. There existed a simple mutuality of respect and responsibility, that held us in a circle of belonging on this earth together, and that was enough. I suddenly saw the insanity

of modern life. How it leaves us poverty stricken and exiled from our true sense of place— a sense that we belong in our own skin, with our feet on the earth. We’ve moved so very far away from the simplicity of just being human, of just being alive, and the innate dignity that is our birthright. Instead we are mercilessly measured through various economical, cultural and spiritual ideals. Ideals that have no bearing on the truth of who we are, or the lives we were meant to live. And worse, our value as human beings is constantly weighed against the survival of the system itself. But we are like fish who cannot see the water around us, ignorant of how these forces destroy our lives, and keep us feeling so impoverished. We swim in this matrix of performance, hierarchy, power and individualism and don’t see its hold on us – how it traps our souls and ensnares our true authentic expression. And so we swim, with our iPods, our iPhones, our four-wheeldrives and our personal Pilates trainers. Filling our lives with busyness and more stuff, all the while feeling more empty. And more exhausted. And homeless. This ancient culture that awaits on our very own soil extends to us a profound invitation: to learn about true belonging – something our colonial predecessors could never have dreamt of in their attempts to belong. ■ Stories of Belonging (Finch), compiled and edited by local writer Kali Wendorf, features 15 stories from acclaimed writers worldwide, including Indigenous. It is available from all fine bookstores.

musical ventures and was well known in the Brunswick Byron area, playing with such outfits as Nods’n’Winks, Chainsaw Sprocket Knucklehead and Tank, and Gavin Hamilton and the Undercovers, and fronting The Real McCoy and EZ Money. Trevor relocated to Sydney in 1994 where he worked as a bass player for the Jolly Swagman show at the Argyle Tavern in The Rocks until the show closed in early 1996 due to the dwindling tourist industry. During this time he recorded his last studio album One Sunny Nite which still occasionally receives airplay on BayFM. He played with an Irish outfit called Blackwater for a couple of years, before returning to attempt to record his own material. For reasons known only to him he ceased recording and playing in late 1998 but still operated his PA hire business until he was diagnosed with cancer in August 2008. Looking back over the last 12 months I have come to see that a lot of what he said in his

songs is still relevant. Perhaps one of the most well known of his songs from the early years is Tide, where he describes the ups and downs that life throws at us, while ‘the tide never seems notice/ doesn’t care what it’s all about/ just comes in, goes out’. When I think about my father, there is some regret that I didn’t spend more time with him, but I am confident that he is in a better place, and I consider his passing not as an end, but as another step in the journey we call life. It would not surprise me at all if he’s having the time of his life right now, sharing a smoke with Jim Morrison, a hamburger with Elvis, and asking Michael Jackson to teach him to moon walk. The world will always remember this man. A friend, a lover, a hero and father. Trevor Wilson. May he always rest in peace. ■ Trevor’s last studio album One Sunny Nite is available online at iTunes (Australia), Amazon. com (USA) and Amazon.co.uk (United Kingdom).

One treatment can be life changing. The Atlas supports your head and governs structural alignment. A misaligned Atlas causes restriction of the brain stem, spinal cord, cranial nerves and arteries. This limits our potential for wellbeing and creates tension, restricting the free flow of energy. When the Atlas is installed correctly, the body begins an unwinding process, releasing holding patterns and enabling the body to heal and regenerate.

win Necks for Nicks For lovers of amazing instrumental music, you can look no further than The Necks. Not a red one amongst them. For a double pass to their show at the Byron Community Centre on Saturday February 21, email gigs@echo.net. au with subject header ‘Lovely Necks’.

Mo Tix for Mo Town Get your ass shaking at Mullum Motown when DJ Inchie spins the vinyl bringing down some serious disco on Saturday Feb 13 at the Mullum Bowlo. To win a double pass emaiil gigs@echo.net.au with subject header ‘making it large’.

Last year at the Mullum Music Festival the consistent refrain of passing punters was ‘Have you seen Tinpan Orange?’ This three piece, consisting of brother and sister, Emily and Jesse Lubitz with Alex Burkoy on violin has been making an impression on people everywhere. The Herald Sun recently declared: ‘Don’t expect rock god posturing from this Melbourne trio: if their shy but charming lunchtime gig in the city last month was any indication, they take the stage with simple motives: to share the music flowing through their veins and reach out to their audiences with utter sincerity and warmth. The focus will always be on flame-haired singer/guitarist Emily Lubitz, but brother Jesse, a guitarist and occasional singer, and the even more retiring bass, mandolin and violin player Alex Burkoy add depth to a band that touches bases with the Audreys, Sandy Denny and, weirdly, Frente.’ This year they were the most attended act at Woodford, with audience members spilling out of tents into the streets. To perform well at Woodford, Jesse admits the downside is that you often don’t get to see much else of what is on. ‘I missed out on heaps, the festival is so over-stimulating, to make a performance work you need to go within yourself and you can’t do that and be part of the festival at the same time. We really focused on our performances‌ and we had a ball. The crowds are getting hugely responsive, we started up with full shows and by the end they were queuing up to see us.’

Tinpan Orange has just released The Bottom of the Lake, a follow on from their 2007 release, Death Love and Buildings.This new album was self produced with the assistance and musical genius of Harry Angus from the Cat Empire. Does a young indi band release their music without expectations? ‘Actually I did have expectations – I think I probably would have said that I didn’t a few years back, but I did! The independent music world has exploded because people have such access to recording and there are so many amazing musicians around, it’s a difficult game and with this album it’s definitely exceeded my expectations.’ The album is beautifully produced, something Jesse sees as a real personal achievement. ‘I think that people can produce their own music now, we recorded our last album at home, it takes away that pressure of thinking we are spending $1000 a day to be in a studio so I better get it right, it’s so much easier. I engineered this album and I had never done anything on a computer before and it’s the most incredibly intuitive thing to do, to be able to record. ‘We used Pro Tools and it gave us the freedom to play around to get what we wanted rather than explaining to someone. We were totally happy with what we got, we didn’t feel like it was a compromise, the performances probably benefited from that.’ So why bring in Harry Angus? ‘Initially it was going to be a self produced album, Emily and Harry had been seeing each other for a year, and when we

recorded he was on the couch, and he’s in like four or five bands around Melbourne, he was just hanging out while we were recording, he’d say why don’t you try this and we’d go wow I can’t believe we didn’t think of that. He’s remarkable, he is just an incredible guitarist, he’s amazing, I sort of hate him! He’s just an incredible, incredible musician and also his experience is pretty vast so he brought a lot in terms of recording experience to what we were doing.’ Working so closely with your sibling has its ups and downs. For the Lubitz brother and sister, there’s no mincing words. Jesse laughs: ‘When it’s good it’s good and when it’s bad it’s pretty bad! There are no nicenesses in our disagreement so it can be pretty brutal. I think though that it’s good in a creative sense because there’s no pandering. Although we will always try and be supportive of each other creatively. If she comes with a song and I think there’s been better songs I’ll tell her or if it’s amazing I’ll tell her. It’s hard when you write songs to get honest feedback. We are siblings, if you ever go into business with a friend you become business partners first, but we are always siblings first. The difficult thing is to leave it at home, and not bring it to everywhere that we go!’ Tinpan Orange are joined by the sensational Mama Kin in a sensational bittersweet double headline bill at the Mullumbimby Civic Hall on Saturday February 20. Tickets are $18 pre sale and $22 at the door. www.mullummusic.com or RAW store in Mullumbimby or All Music & Vision Stores in Byron, Ballina & Lismore.

As a parent of teenagers myself I can’t imagine why you’d let your kids roam the streets in packs at night and not expect them to get into trouble. I wonder if anyone loves these kids. Does anyone give a shit? Why aren’t there carloads of parents driving by in Kombis going ‘Dingo Star, get in the fricking car now, you’re going straight to your room to meditate.’ Perhaps there’s the odd kid who gets smashed and commits random acts of altruism like mowing someone’s lawn or picking up my mangoes, but generally you know it’s going to end in ‘Lick my Penis’ (graffiti from Mullumbimby Telstra Exchange). We wouldn’t let these kids eat meat, they have eaten organic, never heard the word no and never had to clean their rooms. Now they wander the streets, lost, pissed and angry, a sad snapshot for our annual celebration of nationhood. Happy Australia Day. We should be proud.

JEFF MARTIN LIQUID THURSDAY

Simply the Bluesfest Bluesfest is Australia’s most awarded and internationally renowned festival. This world class event which kicked off at the Piggery just over two decades ago comes of age, turning 21 this year. This will be the first Bluesfest at the permanent new home – at the Tyagarah Tea Tree farm just off the Pacific Highway, 12 minutes north of Byron Bay! The lineup is looking awesome, with the third announcement welcoming a swag of artists to the bill including Kev Carmody and Friends, Dan Sultan, Umphrey’s McGee, Galactic featuring Cyril Neville (Neville Brothers), Imelda May. Warren H Williams, Narasirato Pan Pipers, Tijuana Cartel, Watussi, The Fumes, Grace Barbe, Tribali (Malta), and Chase The Sun. These new names join the major artists already confirmed, Crowded House, Buddy Guy, Gypsy Kings, Beuna Vista Social Club, Jeff Beck, Lyle Lovett, Jimmy Barnes, Renee Geyer, Fat Freddy’s Drop and a whole heap more. It’s almost impossible to write a comprehensive story about the lineup because it’s so diverse, and so massive. Every artist deserves an article to themselves. Festival director Peter Noble said ‘There’s the fruitful new collaboration The Break featuring members of Midnight Oil and The Violent Femmes. There’s rising stars such as blues guitarist Joanne Shaw Taylor, Aussie songsmith Jen Cloher and Irish soul/ rockabilly wunderkind Imelda May; the much anticipated blues return of the authentic and very important Music Maker Relief Foundation –

and did I mention Poor Man’s Whiskey from the US? Their jaw-dropping bluegrass version of Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon complete with Theremin is destined to be the hit of the festival!’ Next week we’ll start featuring individual artists of Bluesfest to bring punters up to speed to help with that very difficult task when you’re there of actual gig selection. Tickets can be purchased by: Phoning the Bluesfest office on 02 6685 8310 or visiting the website at www.bluesfest.com. au The Easter weekend dates are Thursday April 1 through to Monday April 5.

It’s All in the Method Roots/Rock duo Method are back in the saddle over the next couple of weeks to bring you another dose of their down to earth moves and grooves. The end of 2009 saw the release of their third album Times Like These which has

been getting airplay around the country as well as in the US and in Europe. Built around the skeletal combination of drum kit and amped up acoustic guitar Method’s music has always exuded a strong sense of the groove. Their songs reflect the joys and perils of everyday life set against the backdrop of the extraordinary times in which we live. You can catch them at the Beach Hotel this Thursday at 8.30pm.

Is that A Falafel in your Hand, or Elena? Elena b Williams is back in town after a fantastic Darwin tour and ready to open your hearts with a voice to remember. A highlight of her Darwin tour was sharing a gig with the beautiful Leah Flanagan, who you may remember from the Mullumbimby Music Festival. Elena will be releasing her much awaited new album

Uke Fever All over the world, people are picking up the ukulele. Ukes currently top charts in Japan and Sweden, with styles ranging from punk through to classical sonatas. The number of ukulele festivals are also increasing with events planned in New York, London, Tokyo and Australia during 2010. There is no doubt that the ukulele is growing in popularity with its easy-to-learn and play 4-strings being picked up by young and old. And coming to Byron Bay next week is a feature-length documentary film, the Mighty Uke which has been put together by two

young Australians who literally ‘uke-surfed by couch’ locations around the world, filming the efforts of players. Catch a screening and bring your uke for a post-film showdown. This presentation is supported by the North Coast Ukulele Collective. Don’t miss it! Sunday at The Shed, Yaeger’s Lane. 4pm for a 4.30pm start. Entry by donation.

Peruquois & Praful As an expression of their devotion, the music of Chantress Peruquois and wind instrumentalist Praful, overflows with intoxicating flavours of east and west, the magic of ancient Indian classical with the fresh refinement of jazz, weaving poetic wisdom with sacred earthly sensuality. Peruquois slowly and melodiously calls to the very core of our being. Her voice has turns and twists like a beautiful stream and the depth and range of a great river. United with Praful’s masterful Bansuri flute and saxophone, their music is a harmonious alchemy, inviting us to unlock the vital passion in our hearts and wake up to our full human potential. It is a mystical experience. Peruquois, diversely trained in Jazz, Native American, Middle Eastern and

Classical Indian, touches and inspires audiences with her powerful, healing voice. She has released 4 solo albums and is an international workshop teacher of sacred chant and voice. Praful, Indian Flute and Sax player, is a pioneer in the world music community. He is world renowned for his five solo albums and his work as a composer/producer for Deva Premal. They play the Byron Community Centre this Friday. Show at 7.30pm with tix $25. Tix available from: www.kupromotions.oztix.com. au

Chase The Sun and Catch Cass Eager Since forming in 2006, threepiece Chase The Sun have received great reviews for their soul-tinged song writing, blues sensibilities and the

powerhouse live delivery of guitar star-on-the-rise Jan Rynsaardt. His previous band, Freeway, toured right around Australia and shared stages with some of the biggest names in the blues and roots scene, including Jeff Lang, Ian Moss and John Butler. In Chase The Sun, Jan is joined by Ryan Van Gennip who has held down bass duties for Diana Anaid, Charlton Hill, Sandrine and Iota; and drummer Jon ‘Howler’ Howell, a solid multigenre player who rose to prominence with Leonardo’s Bride and has been in high demand since. In 2007 Chase The Sun’s self-titled debut album entered the US Billboard Blues Album Chart at #13 and debuted at number five on the iTunes blues chart. In the same year they won Australian Blues Awards for Best Group and Best Song for ‘You Gotta Go’. Chase the Sun are joined by Cass Eager, who’s played with Peter Garrett and Paul Kelly to an audience of 40,000 at an East Timor benefit concert in Dili Stadium and has given Prince Harry guitar lessons after he saw her play at Kerry Packer’s polo property. Her distinctive pipes and guitar playing have drawn comparisons to everyone from Bonnie Raitt to Jack Johnson, Nina Simone and Ben Harper. This impressive double bill is scheduled for Saturday at Court House in Mullumbimby. Tix are just $10. Bands kick off at 8pm.

culture Film Departures

You may have seen the film, Departures, screened by Mullum Flicks just before Christmas. If you did, you were lucky. The only other screenings in the region were at Murwillumbah’s Regent Cinema where it ran for a short season. No other local exhibitor picked it up, despite its 2009 Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, 10 awards from the Japan Academy, and some 22 other international awards including Grand Prix at Montreal. Many people missed seeing this extraordinary film. Mullum Flicks will screen Departures at Ocean Shores Community Centre, on Saturday at 8pm. Tickets are available only at the door for $12 ($10). Coffee, tea and cake will be available from 7pm.

Looney about Clooney George Clooney is one of those actors who appeals to both women and men, and appeal is certainly the operative word. Up In The Air stars George as Ryan Bingham, a loner and a consummate modern business traveller who knows the ins and outs of airports everywhere; he’s close to attaining his lifetime goal of ten million frequent flyer miles. Ryan Bingham has no life when he’s not up in the air.

He meets and starts to fall for a fellow traveller, a woman who is also unwilling to commit to anything permanent as she’s always on the road. Up In The Air is the Reel Mums baby friendly screening this Thursday at 10am at Dendy.

Comedy Funny Kids As the Big Joke Comedy Festival approaches it’s time to get your kids cracking up for their chance to star as the next generation of upcoming comedy talent in Funny Kids. Mandy Nolan is no longer the festival director of The Big Joke; this Mum to five, including a nine month old laughs, ‘I’m a big girl but even I can’t keep all those balls in the air!’ Mandy (or me) will however be running Funny Kid Stand Up Comedy Workshops, where kids from 10 – 14 get the opportunity to try their hand at standup comedy. In four classes held at the Mullum High School Drama Space February 27– 28 and March 13 – 14 from 2pm – 4pm, Nolan takes the kids through the basics of standup and transforms them from smart arses to standups. Standup comedy gives kids an opportunity to turn those everyday challenges into humour, it’s the ultimate resilience building tool. If

you’ve been bullied, wear glasses, have weird parents, are made to eat stinky sandwiches, are overweight, have an attitude problem, acne, a speech impediment or are just plain bamboozled by the world in which you live then standup comedy is for you. The shy history loving boy in the corner becomes a standup superhero. Parents of children who have done the comedy workshop have remarked how their shy and selfconscious children have gained incredible confidence since doing the course and a great deal of admiration and respect from their peers. Limited intake. First in first served. Course includes a 1:1 writing session with Mandy. $120 per kid, and it all ends in a fab live performance at the Big Joke! Stars will be made!!! For information and enrolments email mandy@ mandynolan.com.au or phone 6684 3443.

Comedy in the RAW Last week the first RAW comedy heat went off like a cracker. Judges Ellen Briggs, Robert Grayson and Bruce MacKenzie all remarked that it was the strongest heat they’d seen thus far, remarking on how much funnier our local comics are getting. Winners for the evening were Cameron

comedy very seriously, and is fast becoming one of Australia’s most in demand comedians. He is the feature comedian at this month’s Side Splitting Comedy at the Currumbin RSL Thursday. So just who is Dave Jory? Well, in 2007, Dave was a finalist in Rove Live’s ‘Golden Nut Competition’, as well as being chosen as an Australian finalist for the popular NBC America program, ‘Last Comic Standing’, which was broadcast to a large audience worldwide. Jory became a cult favourite on Triple J with a fake celebrity gossip segment (2006-2007) and the very popular drive-time segment ‘I Love This Crowd’ where he performed listeners jokes in a standup club, then played the recordings on-air for discussion. He is now presenting his latest segment ‘Good Will Hunting’, where he Walker and Christopher Byrnes. The boys will be getting the bus to Brisbane to compete in the semi-finals and the chance to vie for a spot at the Melbourne national RAW final. There was originally only going to be one RAW heat in Byron Bay but the website was inundated with local registrations and a second heat had to be scheduled. Amazingly the Byron Shire has more registrations than Darwin, and is a leading area for comedy for a nonmetropolitan centre. For a small regional area we boast more comics per capita than Melbourne, Sydney or Brisbane. At the current ratio one in 46 people in the Byron Shire is a standup comedian. One in two are yoga instructors. Catch the second amazing heat of standup comedy at the Byron Services Club on Monday. Tix at the door for $10/15.

violence. (Gray made a name for himself doing hip hop videos. Are we surprised?) With a couple of big stars to bolster the mendacious argument, it’s marketed as a ‘taught, psychological thriller’, but, as they say in the classics, that’s a crock. The plot is not credible – absurd is more like it – and its moral stance feeds on our most primitive instincts. Pretentious, stupid and nasty. ~ John Campbell

The Road I couldn’t wait to see this. After reading Cormac McCarthy’s Pulitzer Prize winning novel in one spellbound night, my enthusiasm was further boosted when I saw that the screenplay was written by Joe Penhall, who so unobtrusively and faithfully adapted Ian McEwan’s Enduring Love for the screen (the books are not a million miles apart in their understanding of singlemindedness). The film surpassed my expectations. Set somewhere in America (it was shot mostly in Pennsylvania; kudos to the location scout) in the near future, after the apocalypse that’s been hanging over our heads since Hiroshima and Nagasaki, it follows a man and his young son as they trudge through a dead-tree landscape, heading south to the coast – for what reason they probably don’t know themselves. Some lone survivors eke out a miserable, foraging existence, others have formed marauding, murderous gangs. There is no society, in its place lawlessness and the basic imperative to find food – the veneer of moral codes that has sustained our species is exposed to be as threadbare as the rags in which the man and boy are clothed. And yet there is love and loyalty, persistence, and an unspoken belief that the struggle is worth the effort. Deviations from the book are minor – a bit more back-story to include the man’s wife, and some episodes, notably with the capsized boat, necessarily abridged – but the fearful mood is exact. Spanish cinematographer Javier Aguirresarobe’s palette is chilling, his sense of drama acute – the horrific cellar scene (I dreaded it) is totally Goya – and Australian director John Hillcoat’s pacing never allows for leaden sermonising. Viggo Mortensen, whom you’d not expect to be nominated for awards, is the ideal narrator/ protagonist, undoubtedly because of his lack of flair (a Philip Seymour Hoffman monstering the role doesn’t bear consideration), while Kodi Smit-McPhee plays a modest hand as the dependent child who asks the tough questions about right and wrong and whose naïvetÊ shines through the bleakness. It sounds like heavy going, and, admittedly, it’s no picnic, but somehow it breathes hope. For all of cinema’s transformative powers, what the medium cannot do is replicate the intimacy that grows between a reader and the words on the

<echowebsection=Entertainment>

page as a story is absorbed and visualized. Nonetheless, Hillcoat, who closes on a slightly more optimistic note, has succeeded brilliantly in bringing the terrible beauty of McCarthy’s writing to the screen‌ But what is wrong with those airheads who go to the movies and bug everybody else with their incessant text checking? ~ John Campbell

Broken Embraces This is Pedro Almodovar’s vibrant new mixed genre thriller. Once again, he showcases Penelope Cruz as the object of desire for the film (and what an object of desire she can be) in a complex game of double identities. The hero of the film is a filmmaker called Mateo Blanco aka Harry Caine, played with granite simplicity by veteran Spanish heartthrob Lluis Homar. During the making of his film Women And Suitcases, he falls hopelessly for his leading lady, Lena (Cruz). She, alas, is more

or less ‘owned’ by her jealous millionaire sugar daddy, Ernesto (Jose Luis Gomez). Reluctantly releasing her to Mateo’s set, Ernesto employs his sneaky gay teenage son (Tamar Novas) to hang around the production. The kid is ostensibly putting together a ‘making of’ doco, but he is actually a peeping tom on the two lovers. Broken Embraces is a stylish and complex film with real film noir elements, but it is also a meditation on cinema and desire. Director Pedro Almodovar uses amazingly luminous, saturated colour throughout. He is also infectiously in love with the camera’s ability to capture and preserve beauty. Penelope Cruz is not just a goddess, she is his goddess. Almodovar stretches her into performances that are lusty, ambitious and profound. There is no sexier and more womanly woman in movies, and here she is breathtaking. ~ Lounge Cinema

The lady judge is conferring with the DA and a lawyer in her office. She takes a call – she’s gonna get her brains blown out here, I thought – and bang! Her brains are blown out. That’s the thing with vengeance flicks – once the pattern is established it becomes all too obvious. As technology encourages us to isolate ourselves from what is outside our front door, the home invasion has come to haunt us as a most heinous crime. It happens one night to Clyde Shelton (Gerard Butler), and his wife and little girl are murdered before his eyes. One of the two killers, through plea-bargaining with the DA (Jamie Foxx), serves a minimal prison sentence. Shelton, furious at such untenable but sanctioned leniency, takes justice into his own hands – I was under the impression that the vigilante went out of fashion with Mel Gibson and his Jew baiting alcoholism (but wait, Mel’s back too). Shelton is incarcerated after corrupting the lethal injection with which the other, condemned murderer is executed, making his death agonizing rather than painless. From behind bars he schemes to dismember the freed bad guy before systematically bumping off all of those who were involved in the legal process, baffling the police and all but bringing Philadelphia to a standstill. When did we start to think kindly of villains such as Hannibal Lecter? And why? As the evil brainiac who is always a step ahead of the earnest investigator, Anthony Hopkins at least found in the iconic cannibal a delicious, patrician wryness. Certainly he was nowhere near as up himself as Butler’s bombastic bore. Foxx is good in the Jodie Foster role, but he’s never in any real danger, for you know damn well that there is no way that he won’t be the last man standing. The body count is not as high as in the ‘Saw’ series, but the Aussie boys who created those gold plated grotesqueries appear to have influenced director F. Gary Gray, his excursions into the festering corners of the testosterone rampant male’s catch-me-ifyou-can playground fantasies mirroring ‘Saw’s pornographic

MALENTE at LALA LAND Germany based DJ and producer Malente has released a total of four albums on Unique Records since the year 1999 – www.malente. dj. Risk taking is Malente’s forte and has made him an in demand producer. Malente loves remixing other artists’ tunes. Over the years he has reworked tunes by acts such as Moonbootica, Bob Sinclar, Turntablerocker, Coburn, Bassnectar, and of course a whole bunch more. Q: What do you work with in the studio, do you have any handy tips for other producers? A: ‘I Work with Ableton and Logic on both PC and MAC. Am using tons of plug-ins but don’t ask me for names. I’m bad with names. My advice is simple: don’t use the stuff like you’re supposed to use it. Use presets only as kind of Sample. Once you’ve done something, do something different. Break the habit.’ Q: Why do you think you are so popular for remixing other artists’ stuff and for collaborations? A: ‘Because of all the above. I think people appreciate that I sound unique and am not afraid of doing lots of different stuff at the same time. I love creating shocking moments

on the floor where people lose track of the track, breakdowns that never end, just a lot of stuff that you wouldn’t expect. Same time staying true to the Malente style and always turning stuff into a great party tune guaranteed to fill the floor.’ Q: Please describe the Exploited Mixed CD? A: ‘The Exploited Mix CD includes four Malente & Dex tracks. With my partner Daniel Dexter of Acidkids, I’m producing exclusively for the Berlin based label as Malente & Dex: we did Hyperactive, Gipsy Kings, Lions and our latest was Bangkok with Bonde Do Role. Labelhead is Shir Khan. He mixed the Compilation only using tracks exclusive to his label. This release is full of groundbreaking music; if you haven’t heard it yet you should definitely grab it.’ Q: Are you working on any new releases or remixes? A: ‘There’ll be a great single on DIM MAK – in Australia released by Ministry Of Sound – coming in March. They’re Killing It, a track I did with Azzido Da Bass. Aussie brothers The Aston Shuffle did a great Remix for

that as did Motor and Jaimie Fanatic. The Original will blow your minds…’ Q: You love diverse sounds, how did you get to remix Bassnectar? A: ‘Bassnectar is a fan and contacted me asking for a Swap, so he did a Remix for Malente & Dex – Lions and I redid Heads Up. Was great fun recreating his bass line and turning it into a more house track.’ Q: Dubstep and electro house seem a good mix, do you choose to mix them in your productions or DJ sets? A: ‘I don’t play much dubstep. I like dubstep a lot, but most of the time for my style in DJ-ing it’s either a bit too epic or too much boys only. From time to time I drop a tune though. I don’t limit myself really. It wouldn’t make me happy to just play out one style.’ Q: Does standing in front of crowds ever get to you, exhaust you? Why? A: ‘Never exhausts me.

I just remixed the next singles of The Aston Shuffle, Top Billin, Sticky K, Larry Tee, Hatiras and Sharam Jey… and I’m gonna play upcoming releases by Malente & Dex and Moston & Malente that are not released for another 3-4 months.’ Malente is a risk taker and sure to expand dance floor consciousness, go sweat it with him and Rhys Bynon this Wednesday at La La Land. COMING UP SOMEWHERE ELSE

ELSEWHERE Sydney’s Jonathon Boulet is the latest gem coming out on the Modular label. Boulet is skating across the indie pop spectrum, from melancholic acoustic to the more abstract electronicaspanked instrumentals to full blown pop. ‘A Community Service Announcement’ is the deserved hit single from the Jonathan Boulet album and has made Triple J’s song of the week. Boulet is now touring nationally with his band and you can catch them live at Elsewhere on Friday March 13 as Boulet drops the album live in Queensland for the first time. Tickets are now available via OZTIX – www.oztix.com.au

Melbourne’s 12-year-old Bobby Cheng started 2010 as successfully as he finished 2009, by becoming the youngest-ever Australian Junior Champion. Cheng, the reigning World U/12 Champion, took Australia’s U/18 title in Hobart last week with a tremendous 10/11 score, a full point ahead of Canberra’s Andrew Brown, a perennial bridesmaid in this event. Mild-mannered Cheng, with his coach Darryl Johansen present in Hobart, was less than convincing in many games but he completed the gruelling two week tournament undefeated and outlasted Brown in the key game of the tournament. Cheng took gold in all the subsidiary events as well, taking the U/18 problem solving title, the U/14 title in the rapid (30 minute) event and the U/16 title in the lightning (5 minutes per player per game) tournament. Cheng and Brown left in their wake stars such as Melbourne’s 15-year-old International Master James Morris and last year’s co-

SCORPIO: Letting go having to be right makes it easier for people to love you. Try it if you don’t believe me. You might be amazed how such a simple adjustment immediately changes your personal dynamic – and this week provokes some intriguing adventures as well.

AQUARIUS: While it might seem like nothing much is coming together right now, there’s plenty stirring beneath the surface of events and about to pop. You won’t need a life coach because life itself will coach you through the learning curves on this week’s menu.

SAGITTARIUS: Misunderstandings are easily come by this week. But they could be just as easily prevented by not assuming or taking anything for granted, being clear, confirming, following up… On the bright side, this week’s Aquarian variations stimulate a huge creative surge in casa del Archer.

PISCES: This week brings challenges to peace and invitations to argument, but outdated strategies don’t work for achieving updated goals – meaning if you keep doing what you’ve always done you’ll get the results you’ve always got. Look for new and different solutions.

Matt champions native foods

Open Wed-Sat 6.30pm till late Live Jazz on Thursdays Fully licensed. Bookings essential 6685 8526

Victoria Cosford It wasn’t until the late 1970s that the commercial potential for Australian bushfoods began to be explored. And yet for thousands of years indigenous people had been harvesting native flora and fauna, selecting what was available, eating it for nutritional purposes. Generation after generation passed down local knowledge of which plants were edible and palatable, which times were best to harvest. Sydney’s Botanic Gardens Aboriginal Education Officer Clarence Slockee describes them as ‘the original slow foodies and the ultimate environmentalists... Food was harvested according to traditional laws with communal sharing and and an emphasis on what we now know as sustainability.’ Lillipilli, bush tomatoes, kangaroo apple, molucca raspberry – many of these foods have never been heard of, let alone tasted, by today’s Australians. A horticulturist called Peter Hardwick began to investigate, in the late 1970s, subtropical native plants like riberries and lemon myrtle which might be suitable for commercial cropping; several years later the University of Sydney’s Human Nutrition Unit conducted analyses of bushfoods from the perspective of Aboriginal health. Vic Cherikoff was a member of the team and it was he who started up a wholesale distribution company marketing Australian ingredients – ultimately playing a vital role in their promulgation throughout the restaurant and food processing industries. By the mid 1980s, Australian-themed restaurants were opening up, such as Rowntrees in Balmain, co-run by Frenchman Jean-Paul Bruneteau who had finally caved in to the purveyors of bushfoods who had been actively pursuing him. Up until the 1990’s only one bushfood, the macadamia nut, had however been farmed commercially; today a variety of them are being exported all around the world (earning, according to CSIRO

figures, approximately $14 million a year). And yet many of these bushfoods have not – nor will they ever – become mainstream, despite the best efforts of people like Les Hiddens the Bush Tucker Man, Bruneteau and Cherikoff, Raymond and Jennice Kersh of Sydney’s (sadly defunct) Edna’s Table. One chef who is championing their use and whose passion for them informs much of his cooking and recipe-creation is Brisbane-based Matt Clark. Tasmanian-born, Matt relocated from West Australia late last year, though not before having his own cookbook, ‘The Produce Chef’, published. He tells me that his interest in native foods came about when he was working for the Hilton in Cairns. Given the opportunity there to experiment with a lot of different ingredients, he ‘took this experience to Perth where these foods were not being used often, and it took off really well. I ran a couple of restaurants and created a lot of different dishes with a Native Australian touch.’ With a strong background in French and Italian cuisines he devised his own style of food, incorporating bushfoods, many of the recipes ending up in his book. He doubts, however, that bushfoods will ever become truly mainstream, while allowing that ‘they will eventually become more popular... We are starting to see them more often on restaurant menus... There are some amazing flavours out there that compare to nothing else in the world and they are sitting in our own backyard. The more interest that is created the more readily available they will become.’ Local people such as Scott Foster of Australian Bush Spices and Mick and Thelma at Lismore’s Gunnawannabe cafe are doing their bit to facilitate our experience of bushfoods; Bay Seafoods keep fresh finger limes in one of their big refrigerators; you can buy the coat of arms from Wholly Smoked Butchery, not to mention rather pricey crocodile steaks pressed neatly under clingfilm. And yet the tip of the bushfoods iceberg has been barely tested; hopefully, in this regard, we have much to look forward to.

ters competitors dominated most events, particularly in the ski arena with the under 17 boys taking the trifecta in the single ski and open mixed double another trifecta. The under 19 and open female competitors were also in good form taking out the open ski, board relay, swim, ski relay and board rescue, as well as taking gold in their own age division – a fantastic effort for this very competitive event.

The younger members of the club were not to be outdone, excelling in the water as well as on the sand.The team’s performance has come about by the dedication to training and the fantastic coaching staff. Many of the competitors compete in the QLD carnivals giving them more race experience. The club will now be gearing up for the State Titles in late February.

The legal work involved in preparing the sales contract, mortgage and other related documents, is called conveyancing. It’s possible to do your own conveyancing, however, most people get a licensed conveyancer or solicitor to do the work for them.

Grail Quest

Introduction to Grail Quest (an 8-week course) which is the opening term of the two year parttime foundation course.

...a journey into the Spiritual Science of Rudolf Steiner...

GRAIL QUEST offers a modern form of adult education based on the work of Rudolf Steiner. Through a deepened understanding of the inner workings of the world and ourselves, inner development and soul transformation are brought about. This in turn leads to an enhanced capacity to transform the outer world. The course consists of lectures, discussions and workshops which are expanded through artistic experiences in music, painting, sculpture, story telling, speech, drama, craft and the new art of eurythmy. No previous artistic experience is necessary. The emphasis of the course is away from competition and is focused on individual growth. The course aims to teach through the heart, hand and mind and to bring our efforts to fruition through love of the deed. GRAIL QUEST is also the prerequisite for the Steiner Teacher Training programme.
