No warning of Woolies fencing say neighbours

Changing guard at writers fest

Director Jeni Caffin likens running the Byron Bay Writers Festival to being ‘given this big toy – nobody artistically has said put the brakes on.’ As this is her fourth and final Festival, this should give punters attending a clue to expect the unexpected. Now in its fourteenth year, the annual Writers Festival will run from Friday August 6 through to Sunday August 8 and has as its motto ‘Words Without Walls’. The program is an eclectic, exciting mix of marquee sessions and workshops, book launches, foodie and feature events. ‘(It’s) a happy blend’, according to Jeni, ‘a mix of fiction, prose, comedy, play, non-fiction.’ She told The Echo that ‘I think that’s what distinguishes this Festival from other ones is the way we

mix things up. It’s rare in other festivals for, say, a film-maker to talk to a blogger who is talking to a writer. It’s interesting to see what happens when you do mix things up!’ The Festival is returning this year to its original stamping ground at the North Beach site. ‘We’re on familiar turf,’ Jeni said, ‘and fairly hallowed turf as far as the Festival is concerned. It’s back to the future – back on that ground but with everything new.’ There will be five big marquees with the Launch Pad more accessible than in previous years. Several new venues have been incorporated this year, including the Buddha Bar and breakfasts at St Elmo’s. ‘It’s always been my belief that the Festival belongs to the town so should be shared among the town and new businesses’, Jeni told The Echo. And if it pours with rain as it so catastrophically did two years ago? ‘The ground

is in much better shape than it was then’, she said, ‘besides, it’s in the nature of the Festival and whatever happens it will go ahead.’ As far as stepping down from her position as Director is concerned: ‘It’s an odd mix of feelings that I have’, Jeni said, ‘On the one hand I’m feeling so enlivened because I think this is such a great program, (but) I feel a slight sadness about stepping away. This world that’s consumed me for four years, it’s more than a job, it’s been a big part of my life for as long as I’ve been out of Sydney. My world has been confined to a 33-metre space in the heart of Byron Bay and to this team of people – I feel jealous of the fact someone else will be sitting in this chair!’ That someone else is Candida Baker, whose appointment to the position was recently confirmed. Brooklet-

based Candida Baker has been living on the Far North Coast for the last six years. A writer, editor and journalist, she is currently Weekend Editor for the Northern Star and is just about to have a new book published by Allen & Unwin ‘The Wonderful World of Dogs’. While she feels that the current Festival formula is ‘so fantastic already so you don’t necessarily want to mess with it,’ she does have a few ideas up her sleeve. Apart from chairing sessions at this year’s Festival she is ‘hoping to spend as much time as I can down there.’ Furthermore, she told The Echo that ‘it’s not going to rain! I’m talking to the weather gods!’ ‘I feel the Festival is on the cusp of great things and I am handing over a great cultural event,’ says Jeni. It feels strange – but so exciting!’

Woolworth’s fencing perimeter on Station and Tincogan Streets has been in place since mid June, and for those whose business and homes are now surrounded by gates, it appears that little or no warning was given before it was erected. ‘I was given no notice – I came home one day and saw the fence from hell,’ Jane Howard told The Echo. Jane and her young family have lived in their Mullumbimby home for 9 years, and will soon have the supermarket chain directly across the street. ‘I can’t believe that they blocked the town off. From 7am they are making horrible noises… the kids used to play on the streets but not anymore. It’s like a ghetto now.’ Trevor Gardiner, 72, has lived in his home for 25 years, and also lives within a stone’s throw from the construction site. ‘I wasn’t told by Woolies or Council that the fences were going up,’ he told The Echo. Trevor’s main concern is about the proposed bottle shop, which the supermarket is hoping to move from Burringbar Street to the new site. ‘I object to the liquor license having the extension of the grocery trading hours,’ he said. ‘There are four places in town to get grog from already.’ He also says the current supermarket he frequents provides enough for him. ‘I won’t be shopping there (Woolworths),’ he says. ‘Richard at IGA has been really good at getting in anything I ask for, and he carries good stock.’ The Poinciana Cafe’s Keven Oxford says that the fencing is a condition of the original Woolies DA. ‘If we’d taken a closer look at the DA, we would’ve objected more strongly’, he told The Echo. ‘We weren’t explained fully the implications of being fenced in. They initially told us four months but it could be an indeterminate time

Changing The Way The World Does Business™

One of the pitfalls of progress, texting has become a major weapon in bullying, an issue that the Mullum Girls Group will explore on film with Deb Pearse and film-maker Jesse Penhaligon Story & photo Eve Jeffery

A group of year 10 Mullumbimby girls are appealing for funding assistance to finish a film project about bullying. The girls, who are experiencing difficulties in one or more areas of their lives, meet at the Widows Cottage in Gordon Street weekly and to participate in activities, discussion groups, outings and specific programs. One of the issues discussed in the group is the effects of bullying and the Mullum girls decided, as a results of one of their discussion groups, to help combat bullying by creating a short film on the subject. The film will look at the different levels of bullying, physi-

cal, emotional and the growing instances of cyber bullying, the internet and mobile phones. ‘The aim is to look at both the positive and the negative,’ says youth worker Deb Pearse, ‘and then explore ways in which young people can get help, protect themselves and alternative ways to deal with each situation.’ Tutor and film-maker, Jesse Penhaligon and the girls are now and in the process of filming. ‘We are hoping some people in the community would like to support this initiative.’ Deb can be contacted on 0403 613 229, and all support will be gratefully acknowledged in the BYS monthly newsletter and website.

with bad weather.’ Keven said that he was told by the construction company representatives that the next stage is to fence off entirely the adjacent car-park as well as the island opposite Milk and Honey Pizza. ‘My understanding is that the existing fencing will also close the roundabout and we will only have access to the main car-park and our cafe via the rear lane.’ Keven added that his garbage collection was also affected initially, and was refused pickups because of the fencing. ‘We’ve complained to both the construction company and Byron Council to no avail,’ he says. ‘The extent of the fencing looks like overkill to me, but we were told by the construction reps that as it was a condition of the DA (and) if we had complaints then we should take it up with Council. ‘It appears the attitude is that if it affects business or local residents then it’s “tough shit.” Initially we would’ve preferred the development to be somewhere else, but when it appeared inevitable that it was going ahead we had to wait it out and see what the impact would be on our business. It’s hard enough for the cafe and restaurant industry in these economic times without having access to your business denied. This is the biggest development to hit Mullumbimby in a long while and

the town will not be the same.’ Byron Shire Council’s manager of development assessment and certification Wayne Bertram, told The Echo the fencing of Station Street is part of the Woolworth’s DA which required a Traffic Management Plan and Public Safety Management Plan. ‘In response to community concerns, Council, in conjunction with the contractor, has already had the fencing relocated to ensure adequate car parking to neighbouring properties. The fencing is expected to remain until the road upgrades have been complete. This can be delayed due to wet weather and vandalism,” he said. Simon Berger, Community Relations Manager for Woolworths, didn’t respond to direct questions about the fencing, however he offered this statement: ‘As part of our approval (under section 193) Council requires Woolworths to upgrade the roads, footpaths and other facilities around the development. We are obviously required to conduct this work safely and to ensure the public are protected. The fencing through Council controlled land will be removed as soon as these works are completed. We regret any temporary inconvenience during construction and look forward to the store being open, when we will offer greater convenience for many shoppers in Mullumbimby.’

Bruns Chamber give kids the TV spotlight

As part of Pollies for Small Business 2010, Ballina MP Don Page was seen wielding the espresso machine at Byron Bay’s Balcony restaurant this week. The NSW Business Chamber program is an annual week-long event which runs in cooperation with the local Chamber of Commerce network throughout NSW. Recognising the small business sector and the role it plays in the local economy, it provides an opportunity for state and federal politicians to listen directly to the concerns of small businesses. Don Page told The Echo that It’s hard work but someone has to do it: Young Bruns students, Riz, Josephine, Lilli, Jacob, Zoe and ‘as MP’s we go out to talk to Nathan, had to eat ice-cream over and over again for the sake of their art and the TV commercial small business owners to discuss issues and I’m really in- Story and photo Eve Jeffery The project began with the kids working in terested to hear what is said. small working groups and presenting their ideas There’s a whole raft of issues The Brunswick Heads Chamber of Commerce to the ‘grown-ups’.

he’s really the “go to� man. As well as the team at Southern Cross, I couldn’t do this without them.’ He is especially excited about two items on the program. ‘The Sunday afternoon concert in St Kevin’s’, he said, ‘will leave people with their spines tingling.’ The other is a late Friday night concert. ‘Being Friday the 13th we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to play George Crumb’s Black Angels, written for electric string quartet and percussion of maracas, tam-tams, chanting, whistling and watertuned glasses. And in tribute to Crumb, we hope to finish bang on midnight’, Paul said. Asked if he was confident that this event would attract the numbers required he re-

plied ‘not at all. It’s completely nuts and off the planet, the process has taken months and months to put this iconic piece together. For 20 minutes there’s probably been 20,000 hours put into its production.’ For the first time the Festival will be broadcast on ABC Classic FM to its audience of about 1/4 million people. ‘That’ll certainly help raise its profile!’ Paul said, ‘I like to bring old and new music together, putting it all together into a bucket and throwing it out there. When the Festival is over I always feel refreshed – exhausted, but refreshed.’ For further information about Bangalow Music Festival visit www.southernxsoloists.com

After eleven months of planning, the annual Bangalow Music Festival is set to shine. Now in its ninth year, it will run from Friday August 13 to Sunday August 15 and feature nine concerts in the A & I Hall as well as St Kevin’s Church. According to Artistic Director Paul Dean, ‘it’s so much a part of my life and so important to my artistic wellbeing!’ Paul has been involved with the Festival ‘since day one and the artistic vision has been mine from the very beginning.’ The outcome of this vision is a program rich in outstanding Australian musicianship and this year will feature a number of new guest artists as well

as the return of international soloist and concert-master of the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, Ilya Konovalov. ‘And his $4 million Stradivarius!,’ Paul told The Echo. Paul said that in the nine years the Festival has been running, most of the 500-odd musicians participating beg to come back here. ‘I think of Bangalow as a place where people make a commitment to something. I adore the town and the venue and how they’ve latched on to this whole concept of mine. He says there is ‘tremendous support’ from the Bangalow Chamber of Commerce and in particular its president Michael Malloy. ‘I honestly can’t imagine doing Bangalow without Michael –

Supporters and sponsors of Bay FM gathered recently at Byron’s Italian at the Pacific restaurant to launch the station’s annual subscriber drive. Now in its tenth year, the fund-raising event will take place from Monday August 16 to Sunday August 29. Mayor Jan Barham and local member Don Page were there to toast the launch. Bay FM President Ros Elliot told The Echo that ‘this year we’re exceedingly excited – firstly, this is our major fund-raiser and secondly we’re really happy to be partnering with Save The Kimberley, our principal sponsor, so (we) will also be raising the consciousness of our listeners about what is happening in the Kimberleys and its plight.’ Save The Kimberley is an environmental organisation whose aim it is to protect one of the last great wilderness areas in the world, a pristine area which is home to many endangered species and rich in culture, heritage and biodiversity. ‘Not many people know about the Kimberleys, one of the last remaining wildernesses in the

Race for Richmond 2010

Nine runners in the race for the seat of Richmond Kate McIntosh & Michael McDonald

Nine candidates have put their hands up for the seat of Richmond in the federal election coming your way on Saturday August 21. It is a fair bet that sitting Labor MP Justine Elliot will get home again with the opposition vote divided among the Nationals’ Alan Hunter and the Liberals’ Joan van Lieshout, who has a strong support base in the Tweed. Elliot’s chances are bolstered by the PM’s recent announcement of $277 million for suicide prevention – mental health support is a weak plank in the Labor platform – while an element of uncertainty is added by Greens candidate Joe Ebono declining to direct preferences to Elliot. As well as the major runners, four independent candidates Stephen Hegedus, Julie Boyd, Nic Faulkner, and Matthew Hartley have thrown their hats into the ring, along with Australian Democrats candidate Da-

vid Robinson. Van Lieshout will pick up the donkey vote, considered to be worth between two and four per cent of the total, listed first on the ballot paper and followed by Elliot, Hartley, Robinson, Faulkner, Hunter, Boyd, Ebono and Hegedus. And the runners are:

his main areas of focus include aged care, health, overdevelopment, employment and a sustainable future. Ebono said he would work to build the profile of his party in the northern NSW region and also plans to challenge sitting MP Justine Elliot on issues pertaining to her aged care portfolio.

After

Alan Hunter is hoping to derail his political opponents and reclaim the Richmond as a National Party stronghold. Mr Hunter entered the fray belatedly after the former Nationals candidate Tania Murdock quit amid allegations of a smear campaign. The retired farmer and Nationals Richmond chairman said he would fight for health services and other infrastructure needed to cope with projected population growth in the region. He also pledged to support a light rail system connecting Lismore to Brisbane.

Joan van Lieshout, Liberal Party Joan van Lieshout says with her background and experience she is more than up for the challenges and pitfalls of a political

career. The former Tweed mayor, now councillor, said she was prepared to stand up for issues close to heart including aged care, agriculture and those affecting youth and family. Mrs van Lieshout’s story is one of rags to riches. She raised four children alone after escaping an abusive marriage and later went on to marry a millionaire, prominent property developer Peter van Lieshout.

Stephen Hegedus, Independent

David Robinson, Australian Democrats Byron Bay lawyer Stephen Hegedus hopes he can raise the standard of debate in the electorate beyond the poll-driven rhetoric currently favoured by the major parties. In particular, Mr Hegedus is disappointed with the major parties’ attitudes on the asylum seeker issue. Mr Hegedus, who was elected chair of Southern Cross University’s student representative council in 2000, will not preference either major party during his campaign.

Achieving what they set out to do, organisers of the Family Unity Festival raised enough funds to host a community website that will be operational in two weeks. ‘The day was a great success,’ said festival and website founder David Ackerman. ‘We had over 100 people visit us over the course of the day and we raised enough money for the website.’ The website is a free community service, where anyone can register and write messages in various subject areas, such as meal-sharing, child-minding, community events, family and children’s health and shared accommodation, in order to create greater support and connection in the community. People can choose to be notified by email when there is a new message in the areas they are interested in. ‘The website is being designed by local designer Chris McCallister, who has donated his time at a discounted rate,’ says David. ‘Families and individuals can create the support and connection in any

Local News Photos promote Women’s Resource Service

Govt aims for brighter future? Michael McDonald

The theme for this year’s Local Government Week is ‘Building A Brighter Future’. Presumably for most councils that would include adequate funding from the state government and for most ratepayers a decent rates, roads and rubbish service and perfect alignment with their political outlook. It’s a rosy view. Among the rosy offerings in the coming week Byron Shire Council will be providing a look-through of the new Suffolk Park Integrated Children’s Centre on Wednesday, 11am to 1pm. Also on Wednesday Council is running a Draft The Mullumbimby Neighbourhood Centre has recently undergone extensive renovations and with it, the Women’s Resource Service is back and operational again. With collaboration from Belle Arnold, Youth Activities Officer at Byron Shire council, four photographs are to be featured on postcards which will be used to promote their service. They will be distributed at services and organisations across the community. ‘The images selected convey

positive and uplifting images of women in our community,’ said Neroli Jager, of the Women’s Resource Service. ‘The service is all about empowering and assisting women towards self-sufficiency.’ It provides information, support, referral and resources for women in the Byron Shire on matters like parenting, women’s health, domestic violence, relationship issues, legal issues, counselling, housing, financial matters and groups in the community. Although the Women’s Resource Service is not a crisis

intervention service, it aims to provide access to support and advocacy sessions by referring to appropriate services for women in crisis situations. Women can contact the service by phone on 6684 4299, email wrs@linknet.com.au or drop in to the Mullumbimby Neighbourhood Centre, located next door to the Civic Hall in Dalley Street. If any individuals or services would like copies of the postcards then please contact Neroli Jager on 6684 4299.

Youth Policy Workshop at the council chambers in Mullumbimby from 5pm to 6pm. Loaded with motherhood statements the four page policy is probably the least controversial of all of Council’s policies. On Friday you can check out the revamped Mullumbimby Neighbourhood Centre at 55 Dalley Street from 9am to 11am. The Centre plays an important role in providing emergency relief and support services, including the Soup Kitchen, and its website is at the unusually named And Also Smokey Po www.andalsosmokeypo.com/ Mullum_Neighbour.

Free talk by Orangutan expert With an estimated 6,624 Sumatran Orangutans remaining in the wild, 6,074 occur in the Gunung Leuser National Park and surrounding Leuser ecosystem in North Sumatra. With the rapid expansion of the palm oil industry and population pressures, protecting this National Park is of vital importance. Sumatran primate conservationist Panut Hadisiswoyo will be in Mullumbimby Friday August 6 to give information about what is happening in Sumatra where rainforest – and the critically endangered orangutan – is disappearing at an alarming rate. As founder of the Sumatran Orangutan Information Centre (OIC), Panut speaks all over the world about his passion for Orangutan conservation. The Orangutan Information Centre is the only NGO granted permission to work within the Gunung Leuser National park. After his studies at the University of North Sumatra in Medan, where he gained a BA in English literature and linguistics, he achieved a Masters in communications studies from the University of Leeds in the UK. He also has a Masters of Science from the Oxford Brookes University and has dedicated himself to

the conservation of Sumatran orangutans and their rainforest habitat. While in Australia, Rainforest Rescue will be sharing natural bush regeneration and propagation techniques

with Panut so that he can take them back to Sumatra to save the orangutan’s precious habitat. The free talk will be held at the Mullumbimby Civic Centre, Dalley Street, from 6:30pm.

Factional bosses spoil Labor’s chances Volume 25 #09

August 3, 2010

The maze through the chemical garbage A while back I made dinner for myself and friends and unintentially poisoned the lot of us, albeit only as a homeopathic dose. The custard I made as dessert had a list of ingredients that included cornflour, sugar, salt and a few numbers: 102 (Tartrazine) and 110 (Sunset Yellow). Pictured: What the editor considers to be a more truthful labelling of food

I consulted the The Chemical Maze, a reference book about numbers in food, and it revealed that these are considered potentially harmful to humans. Ingesting these synthetic colours, upon further investigation, not only pointed to a health hazard, but were in fact potentially carcinogenic. When asked of the health implications, the custard company responded with waffle about its consumer concerns, corporate responsibilities and meeting Australian food standards. Regardless of my unanswered questions, this lesson has taught me that we as consumers are mostly oblivious of being sold poison. Custard, after all, is just egg, sugar and milk. That’s it. The numbers are there to poison us and to make it yellow. If you really want yellow custard, tumeric or saffron could be the answer. Why would you add a nasty colour additive when a natural one would suffice? Is it because it’s cheaper to unload excess chemical residue onto the public, rather than use a natural colour? The supermarket I bought the custard from stocks at least three brands of custard powder, and they all included those same additives. I now have the Chemical Maze book as an application on my iPhone, which is handy in a supermarket. It would be great to see labelling where the additive – and its effects – are by law designed to stand out on the packet in a huge bold font. Just like a cigarette warning, it would scream at us that we are potentially buying and eating chemical garbage.

t’s time, in fact it’s well past time, it may even be too late, for a reality check. Australia, having been the only advanced country to avoid recession, is now experiencing the economic double of falling unemployment and falling inflation. Interest rates are a lot lower than they were when the government came to office and are unlikely to rise beyond what are seen as normal levels. Australia has the lowest debt in the industrialised world and the budget is forecast to return to surplus within three years. The mining boom has meant that some parts of the country are doing better than others, but everyone is doing pretty well and both business and consumer confidence ratings are high. Seen from the point of view of the hip pocket, things could hardly be rosier. And yet the voters are preparing to vote the government that has presided over this happy state and is at least partly responsible for it out of office after one truncated term. Instead, they plan to install a mob of shopsoiled has-beens and wildeyed never-will-bes whose policies consist of slashing government services, refusing to collect the taxes with which to pay off what it absurdly insists is unsustainable debt and sending asylum seekers to Nauru. The government’s popularity has been falling for months, and it has now got to the point where the slide looks unstoppable. How has it come to this? Well, stand and take a bow, you factional bosses. These are the men (they are all men) who insisted that Kevin Rudd abandon his climate change stand, the retreat from conviction that started the rot. And when the rot set in, they de-

manded that he be replaced, precipitating a vicious split in the party that utterly derailed Julia Gillard’s already abysmal campaign f or re-election. Polling replaced principle; the views of a shonky focus group in the western suburbs of Sydney were considered more important than consistency, decency, commonsense and the ideas and ideals on which Rudd had been elected in a landslide less than three

Their sole talent is supposed to be strategic and tactical – they are meant to know how to win elections. As has now been proved conclusively, they don’t. Like all idols they continue to exist only because their followers believe, wrongly, that they have real power. They don’t. These be your gods, oh Labor.

n what must be the supreme irony, Labor is now turn-

Rudd realised that the factions and their warlords were not only superfluous but destructive… by Mungo MacCallum years before. Rudd’s real crime was summed up by one of his executioners, Senator Mike Arbib: ‘he has stopped listening to me’. Julia Gillard, apparently, still is listening, and is likely to suffer ignominious defeat as a result. Rudd, to his credit, realised that the factions and their warlords were not only superfluous but destructive, and took them on early in his prime ministership; he has now paid the price. Gillard accepted their inevitability and dominance, and is likely to pay an even greater price. But while the Labor Party might lose, the factional leaders can’t; safely ensconced in the senate seats into which the have inserted themselves, they have no responsibility to service an electorate and can devote all their energies to maintaining and enhancing their own power bases. This is their real purpose in life: they have no vision, ideology, imagination or sense of public duty.

ing to the leader it spurned, Kevin Rudd, to try and save a few seats from the potential carnage. Before entering hospital for the emergency removal of his gall bladder Rudd issued a statement indicating his willingness to join the campaign throughout Queensland and anywhere else for that matter. Presumably it is hoped that this show of loyalty will at least ameliorate the damage done by the war of leaks and allay the resentment in the sunshine state over the dumping of the home town boy. All the signs are that the rejection of Labor has now gone far beyond such parochial limits, but desperate times demand desperate measures. Just how desperate is indicated by the fact that Gillard has said she is not only hoping, but praying, for Rudd’s speedy recovery so that he can get back on the trail. If our proudly atheistic leader has retreated to the religious

rituals of her childhood, she must indeed be in need of a miracle. On a more cheerful note, wasn’t it good to see that hard but strangely attractive woman with the steel-capped black boots, Laura Norder, getting a gig in the campaign last week. Laura is normally only exhumed from her home in the political gutter during the dark days of state elections; she is, after all, a state rather than federal responsibility. But having nothing better to offer, Julia Gillard invoked her to safeguard the populace against knives, knuckledusters, stun guns and, improbably, gas-filled dart guns for sharks – I’ll bet you didn’t know sharks carried guns. Not to be outdone, Tony Abbott summoned Laura to his side to help combat gang violence – if any gangs threaten violence, she’ll belt the crap out of them. In the circumstances reports that the Family First Party had approached the Australia Sex Party (Real Action!) to suggest a preferences deal seemed almost credible. And it was no real surprise to find Julia Bishop on television with the Chaser team, employing her famous death stare to best a garden gnome. Can this campaign get any worse? You betcha. The former room temperature foreign minister Alexander Downer waited until Kevin Rudd was safely sedated, and then accused him of acting as a conduit for Downer’s own malicious, disloyal and possibly illegal leaks. When Rudd came to and said he might sue, Downer claimed to have been misunderstood. But Julia Bishop said Rudd had been known to swear, so that must prove something. And there are still two and a half weeks to go.

Hastings Point Q Julia Gillard is talking about sustainable population, but says immigration isn’t an issue. She’s talking about an ETS, but she’s just talking about having a talk about it. You think Abbott will be any different? They’ll both talk about affordable housing, but pump house prices and allow foreign buyers. With Global Warming, we need to replace our power generation infrastructure. When the Global Financial Crisis hit, we needed to spend to boost our economy. Tuesday February 5, 2008, Mitsubishi announced closure

of its Tonsley plant, a decision that had been coming, and narrowly averted with public subsidies, for years. So it’s in your face. You need to hire people, you’ve got a factory closing, and you need clean energy products. So what would any sensible person do? Take over a closing factory, quadruple the shifts, and build solar concentrator boxes for solar farms. The opportunity was there, the need was there, did it happen? No. Money wasted, chance gone. Had stimulus money been spent building solar farms, we wouldn’t even be discussing an ETS which is going to cost more money, we’d be congratulating ourselves on fixing our part of the problem, leading the world to safety, and looking forward to cheaper electricity. Instead, we have gone in reverse. Vote for an independent, such as me, and you’ll get a voice for real ideas. Real reform. Real results. Not just a bunch of ambitious manipulators. You will be asked shortly to decide between various liars, schemers and incompetents. They will fail to address global warming. They will increase private debt via housing. They’ll spend your money doing it. So dump them.

Letters

Feeling screwed over by Council and councillors Over the past year or so its been my practice to regularly look through the Council agenda to identify items that I might wish to speak on during public access. My main motive has been to impart the benefit of my considerable local government experience. My other motive has been to check if there was any move to prosecute me over illegal dwellings. In December there was a stated intention to do so in the public notices of the Byron News, but nothing actually appeared in the agenda. Just before the last meeting on June 24, I encountered

Jan Barham and Crs Staples and Tabart emerging from the Poinciana Café in Mullumbimby. Upon seeing me Jan laughed towards the other two and said ‘Will you tell him or will I?’ It emerged that Jan planned with them to frustrate my intention to speak and ask questions by changing the normal procedure. Anyway, one of the matters I’d booked to speak to was item 13.3 being a ‘potential unauthorised rural development matter’. As no address or name was provided in the staff report and no details of the type of offence was provided, my pur-

pose was to complain that this was confidentiality carried to Orwellian extremes. As predicted earlier in the day by Jan this was one of the items I didn’t get to speak on; for Jan it’s become more important to get the meeting done on schedule than to observe procedural proprieties or arrive at good decisions. The outcome was a resolution to prosecute at the discretion of the GM. It was only then that I realised that this could only have been my property that they were on about. As I’d received nothing through the mail to notify me and as the staff were already in the process of issuing a fine for $3,000 I assumed it was someone else. Indeed it was only last Friday that I received letter confirmation that it was indeed me they were after. So did Jan and the Greens

debate the issue without giving me the chance to say my piece? No, it’s worse than that; there wasn’t even a debate. Council operates under a system where unless a councillor reserves a particular item for debate then that item is decided automatically with all the other unreserved items. Whatever the staff recommended in that item then becomes the resolution of Council. In other words if no one says ‘no’ then that counts as a ‘yes’. Evidently no councillor saw any value in reserving the matter for debate, and as I was unaware that I was the target, I was unable to lean on any of them to do so. In this way the councillors were able to shaft me without having to look me in the eye. This is beyond shabby. Anyway the only staff recommendation that appeared in the agenda was that the matter

be kept confidential. Imagine my surprise then when the minutes showed a quite different resolution – that the GM be given authority to prosecute! In other words the real staff recommendation was obviously circulated confidentially to councillors, without a vote on whether that should be kept confidential. There is no legal basis whatsoever for all this nonsense. Section 10 of the Local Government Act describes a number of circumstances where confidentiality may be justified; compliance matters are not on that list. In other words all the confidentiality I’ve referred to so far in fact was illegal, beyond Council’s power. Welcome to the two-ring circus known as Byron Shire Council. The staff decided to ambush me and the Greens are so into shooting the messen-

ger that they quietly went along with it, in a very cowardly manner. What Council has done is procedurally highly suspect in several ways, but if I win the case will Jan, the Greens or the staff have to fork out a single cent? Of course not; it’ll be you the ratepayer who foots the bill, as always. Jan herself is unlikely to admit error, so I’ll put it on the local Greens organisation to issue a public apology by the next issue of The Echo and to extract a promise from the Greens that the matter will be revisited in Council soon so that I can exercise my procedural right to make a submission. If this doesn’t happen, let me just say that I’ve had a long time to consider my options. Don’t underestimate the damage I can do the Greens.

be added to the water supply, can we have an undertaking from Councillors at Byron that they will abide by the court’s decision? Therefore if the court rules that fluoride is safe and that councils should add it to our water supply, that Byron Council will not refuse to even consider the proposal, as they did last time, and allow all its ratepayers, the opportunities for good (dental) health. Allan Cowley

Byron Bay Q So the Department of Health is prepared to pay over two million dollars to build dosing plants to dump fluoride made in China into our water supply from Rocky Creek Dam. The department is not going to pay $250,000 every year to put the stuff in the water. This is a lot of money the department could be spending on dentists and free toothbrushes. Our community needs more dental clinics and school visits, not expensive chemicals. Tell Thomas George MP to change state government policy and reallocate fluoride dollars to dental programs in regional areas.

I would like to take this opportunity to inform the community about important changes

to Westpac Life Saver Rescue Helicopter’s annual Doorknock Appeal. Our Doorknock Appeal ran for a decade. Thanks to the generosity of the public, and our tireless volunteers, $800,000 was raised during those 10 years. Unfortunately, despite the support Westpac Life Saver Rescue Helicopter enjoys in the community, and the good intentions of those who give freely of their time, it has become difficult to get enough collectors to assist with our Doorknock Appeal. So this year we are taking a different approach. During this year’s Helicopter Awareness Week, which runs from Saturday August 21 to Sunday August 29, Westpac Life Saver Rescue Helicopter will send every household in our flight area a speciallymarked helicopter appeal envelope. This is our major appeal of the year and we’re aiming to raise $225,000. We kindly ask that you return the envelope to us with a donation to help keep the rescue helicopter flying. Our service doesn’t discriminate; it’s free to anyone who needs it. But, aviation costs are expensive and our operation isn’t cheap to run. This year, our operating budget is $6.5 million and we need to raise an extra $1 million to continue our life-saving missions. If you would like further

The line of hairy caterpillars was marching across the brickwork of the house into a dark hole in the wooden doorway. They are Ochrogaster lunifer, better known as processionary caterpillars. The name hallmarks their orderly movement, echoing a solemn religious ritual. Their European relatives are another species but, marching in the same way, they have the same common name. The southern European ones head for pine trees and the Australian ones for Acacias. From what I can see, these ones here seem to be lost. Maybe I am presuming a lot to say the processionaries are lost. After all, they may have had enough of green leaves and our wet winter. They could be off to some dry place where they can peacefully cocoon and turn into springtime moths. These last sentences credit the insects with motives and a sense of timing. Am I draping human qualities onto these barely conscious beings? Even as my friends and I discuss them, are we attributing sensibility where there is none? As I write, I wonder. Is all our talk and writing about nature somehow flawed in this irredeemable way? Jean-Henri Fabre, an extraordinary French scientist (1832-1915), was quite unabashedly affected by what he saw in nature. He wrote more than seventy publications about insects, full of sharp observations about the animals and his own culture. Victor Hugo, author of Les Miserables, praised Fabre as ‘the insect’s Homer’. This comparison with the classic Greek poet is more than an old-fashioned way of speaking. Fabre made literature of the lives of insects. One of his most famous works is about processionary caterpillars. What Fabre saw about processionary caterpillars in France is also seen here: these larvae gather together to live as a group. They weave their own home base. These silken bag

nests are located either at the bases or in the canopies of their favourite trees. Their bristles are poisonous. Processionaries are social insects, much like wasps, bees or ants. Fabre put members of several nests into one and found what Australian researchers

Fabre’s story gets faulted for his old literary style. But both versions, although a hundred years apart, base their storytelling on economic ideas. The latest one boasts of data analysis using statistics. It reads like a report from a government office.

Over and over again, what appears to be happening is that individuals copy their immediate neighbours. This continues until everyone is doing the same thing. The story goes that nothing more complicated is happening. Really? Isn’t the story simply leaving unnamed that undeniable ‘awareness of surroundings’? Regardless of what types of senses any living being has, whatever their size, they can coordinate with ‘out there’. Yes, there’s a chance that effort may set up a futile loop or result in disaster. More often, it works well. For all of us evolved on earth, this ability is what we got. also notice: everyone is accepted into one group. When the time comes to forage, the caterpillars all line up and march away. Upon return to the nest, all spin to strengthen the shelter. This prompted Fabre into a consideration of communism, social order and the merits of family life and work. In our modern times, this same experiment is done again but rather differently. The storyline becomes ‘what are the benefits and costs of group living?’ One Spanish study found larger communes, up to certain numbers, maximised healthy conditions for caterpillars. The larvae were bigger and grew more rapidly. They finally became bigger moths who lay more eggs.

<echowebsection=Articles>

Back in 1896, Fabre continued his experiments with the processionals. When a line traveled up to the rim of a large urn, they began to march horizontally. When the rim was full of caterpillars, he brushed away the others still coming up. The processionals on the rim marched round and round. They found no food. Still, they continued for eight days. Fabre calculated the tiny creatures traveled in total of almost half a kilometre. Several times on the eighth day, a lone caterpillar paused, waved its head and tried heading down the vase. But it soon returned to the rim. Finally, in groups of three or four, they all abandoned the circuit and returned to the ground where

Fabre had left them fresh pine branches. Fabre saw their collective behaviour as completely dependent on instinct and chance. He cautioned scientists against looking for the ‘origin of reason’ in the ‘dregs of the animal kingdom’. But, especially since the 1970s, scientists have done exactly that. Scientists look at the collective behaviours of ants and bees as well as caterpillars. They include the movements of fish schools and crowds of people exiting large rooms with only two exits. In every case, individuals cannot know enough about ‘the big picture’ but still they must decide. Regardless if these choices prove to be ‘right’ or ‘wrong’, how are these made? Over and over again, what appears to be happening is that individuals copy their immediate neighbours. This continues until everyone is doing the same thing. The story goes that nothing more complicated is happening. Really? Isn’t the story simply leaving unnamed that undeniable ‘awareness of surroundings’? Regardless of what types of senses any living being has, whatever their size, they can coordinate with ‘out there’. Yes, there’s a chance that effort may set up a futile loop or result in disaster. More often, it works well. For all of us evolved on earth, this ability is what we got. Fabre was asked why he refused to use guinea pigs for testing toxic chemicals from caterpillars. Why use his own arm? He wrote ‘We can take it (life) away. But we cannot give it.’ And if science will chip away at our sentimentality about life, then nature writing will replace it with renewed respect. Every story is another view of the continuing paradox: a sharper look of life’s mystery. For all us storytellers, we have our work cut out. www.echo.net.au

Winter takes a toll on your body… Cold draughts around the kidneys and neck, shoulders hunched against cold nights, running and skidding in the

rain – all these can cause back and neck pain and muscle stiffness. As soon as the weather warms up, we want to get out into the garden, restart our exercise regimes, and we need to make sure our bodies are in good shape. Brunswick Heads Osteopathy, in new premises in Mullumbimbi Street, is now open Monday to Saturday. Why not book a checkup with Sue or Toby, and chase away those winter blues.

Tweed District Dental Tweed District Dental has recently opened its privately owned holistic dental care WYHJ[PJL WYV]PKPUN ÄUL dentistry for all members of your family. Both Dr Chris Jackson and Dr Inta Rudajs have trained locally and internationally. Both are highly

healthand beauty skilled and experienced with a wide range of treatment options and solutions. They place particular emphasis on the early growth and development of children. Myofunctional therapy with strong nasal breathing enhances wellness and learning potential, and correct tongue posture creates more ideal jaw and tooth positioning. Children from approximately four years of age can be helped with simple myofunctional therapy. Dr Chris Jackson says there is an alternative to waiting until your children are older, without missing the epigenetic opportunity for growth potential. Likewise for adults, Dr Inta Rudajs, formerly of Mullumbimby, has developed a special interest in treating chronic facial pain, related to temporomandibular joint (jaw joint) dysfunction. 07 5513 0900 www. tweeddistrictdental.com.au

Bikram Yoga is practiced in a heated room to enable stretching for even the tightest bodies. Each posture (26 during the 90 minute class) has a medical explanation, bringing fresh oxygenated blood around the body purifying organs, tissues and glands which promotes LMÄJPLU[ M\UJ[PVU VM HSS Z`Z[LTZ in the body. This 90 minute practice will leave you feeling a sense of wellbeing that you have never experienced naturally.

This circumstance leads to a variety of physical and psychological ailments and illnesses. Atlasprofilax is a neuromuscular technique that liberates the Atlas with only one application Accurately, Safely and Permanently. This powerful relocation immediately activates a self-healing and harmonising process. It is holistic in nature, promoting wellness and rejuvenation on all levels, mind, body and spirit. This method is non-medical, non-chiropratic.

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.

To take a giant step towards your health and wellbeing, contact Sidika Ashauer, Brunswick Heads clinic. 0427 805 405 www.pain-free-me.com

You can't Harry Lo ve I have a Bread an d Buddha album by Mr Harry Manx up for grabs as pr omotional enticement for his upcoming performance Septe mber 12 at the Mullum Civ ic Hall... Simply email gigs@echo.net.au with subject head er 'Thanx for the Ma nx'. Of course I will ne ed your mailing address so we can pop it in the po st.

Brothers Pete Doherty and Reg Mombassa don't just share a genetic code and a family history, over the last three decades these artists/musicians spent 22 years at the wheel of Mental as Anything and since 1991 the two have used Dog Trumpet as their personal musical vehicle. 'River of Flowers' is their latest release, an album Pete reckons 'is our most comprehensive – there's a lot of time and effort and a lot of family and personal experiences in there. ‘The years accumulate and the bank of stories builds up and I guess you could say it all becomes more interwoven, like a fabric. 'Our parents died in the last ten years. Our Mum died in the making of the album. Losing your parents is a profound experience, you can't get away from that – you start thinking about mortality in an upfront personal way.' Doherty describes 'River of Flowers' as a family album. The songs are like flicking through Reg and Pete's photo album, tracing defining moments filtered through some of the most interesting minds in Aussie music. 'There's a song my brother wrote called Manchester about Mum, you have more freedom when they are gone, you can write about them more directly. My Mum was from Manchester

and she really liked everything being all nice, you never let people know what was really going on. ‘It was all about keeping a front! She was very proud of us being artists and in a band but at the same time we did things she didn't like, she couldn't show her friends a lot of things – she'd be horrified – why do you do that? Why can't you be nice! The previous album was called 'Anti-social Tendencies,' the title alone was enough to annoy her!' There are 10 new original songs plus a cover of Irishman Bap Kennedy's 'On the Mighty Ocean Alcohol'. The album begins with Reg's similarly titled Mr Alcohol and Mrs Marijuana, with universal themes touched upon in a suite of songs that trawl through family history, sex, memory, separation, health and mortality.

River of Flowers is one of Dog Trumpets more efficient projects. 'We started recording over three years ago, for us that's quite a sprint – usually it's five years. It's a body of work that we are making, the great thing about making music now as opposed to when we were with the Mentals, with so many commitments and expectations, it always ended up the less control we had over what you did, now it's back to doing it ourselves, we record it at home, there are no deadlines, and we aren't rushing it out and so at the

end we feel a sense of achievement that we are making artistic records the wayy we want them to sound.'

So whats the art of good songwriting? 'If you have good bones then you can flesh it out and it will still sound pretty good, that's the art of songwriting, if it's not that great it still will sound not that great. I am not saying every song is great but we are heading in that direction. We only release music of a standard, none of that “oh that will do� stuff. We try to avoid that and with that whole home recording thing not having to worry about the music industry liking what you do, you can do what you want – your harshest critic is always yourself, if there are other people calling the shots you tend to abjudicate your creative responsiblity.' You can catch Reg Mombassa at the Writers Festival on Friday in conversation with his biographer and close friend Murray Waldren at the swish new restaurant at the Beach Hotel. Dog Trumpet sound the horn at the Byron Bay Brewery Buddha Bar on Friday at 6.30pm. Tix are $15 pre-sale or $18 at the door. 6685 5833

If the criteria is met then divorce is granted. But I want to know what happened. I want the applicant to make a statement about how their romantic dream became a document to be rubberstamped. I want them to stand up and tell the court. ‘I had an affair’, ‘I’m an alcoholic’, ‘She got fat’, ‘He’s too stupid’, ‘She’s got an annoying laugh’, ‘He started wearing my undies’. Instead it’s just a nod from Big Desk and an ‘Application Granted.’ I leave the court alone. It’s a far cry from my wedding day. But it’s raining. That’s the same. I remember the candlelit hall, the rose petals, the hundreds of friends, my children and the smile on the face of the man I was about to marry. I smile to myself and start the car. Life is just so weird. I don’t think I’ll ever work it out. Hang on, I’ve got it. I’m going overseas and I’m gonna get myself a 23 year old Filipino boy. He gonna love me long time.

Taking A Broad View

Twelfth Night

On Planet Broadfoot this weekend the good ship Broadfoot is due to alight on Friday at Ballina RSL Club, to extend the gift of groove to those within its labyrinthine halls from 8.30pm. On Saturday the boys play Bangalow Hotel which is inspiring drummer Trent to line up some very old school percussion equipment pre-dating even the venue. At a frighteningly unmusicianly hour on the following morning, on Sunday the minstrels of Broadfoot will slothfully set up their gear to showcase their wares once again, at the highly modish Lennox Community Market at Lake Ainsworth.

Bell Shakespeare perform Twelfth Night at Lismore City Hall Wednesday morning at 10.30am. Olivia falls for new boy Cesairo who is really Viola dressed as a boy. Viola has her eye on Orsino while Orsino pines for Olivia, who is ever more taken with Cesario. Crikey, sounds like an episode of Desperate Housewives.

Writers at the Rails Ra turns 18!!! The ‘Writers at the Ra Rails’ will be celebratin celebrating its 18th annive anniversary with spe show a special fea featuring visiting Festival poet Alvin Pang from VISITING POET TUG DUMBLY AT THE WRITERS AT THE RAILS ON SUNDAY Singapore, and one of Australia’s top performance poets, Tug Dumbly. Over the years scores of local, Oz and international poets have performed at the Rails, and this anniversary show will feature some of the ghosts of the past. There will be a selection of invited readings, and the ever popular Poetry Slam. Show starts around 2pm.

Stand up again Standup comedy is a relatively new artform. It wasn’t until Lenny Bruce broke away from the vaudeville model back in the 60’s and just started talking that it took shape. Up until that point comedians told jokes and wore tap shoes and boater hats. Bruce opened the door for a whole new genre of performance which is about people sharing real life experiences in an ironic and satirical way. Catch Mandy Nolan Mcing and one of 8 new comics at the mic. Something extraordinary always happens. Both GIGS are FREE, so there’s nothing to lose! Wednesday at Lismore’s SCU Unibar at 7pm. Thursday at Mullumbimby Courthouse Hotel at 8pm.

Reel Solitary Father and daughter acting talents Miranda and Barry Otto star in this month’s Reel Mums film: South Solitary, screening Thursday August 5 at 10am. The year is 1928, and the setting is South Solitary Island, a remote lighthouse island – bleak, rainy and directly in the path of the Roaring Forties. The film was written and directed by Shirley Barrett (Love My Way and Love Serenade), and the stunning locations include Cape Nelson and Cape Otway in southern Victoria.

Work on Paper You can’t destroy the romance of paper. While the Writer’s Festival occupies the lips and minds of the Byron intelligensia, Art Piece Gallery has gathered a group of artists together for an exhibition of works on paper and with paper. Apart from drawing on it, printing and painting, artists use paper as sculptural medium – folded, cut, woven and collaged.

Poetry Bay by David Hallett

Lord Byron never surfed Byron Bay never had lattes at the Byronian Cafe he never had sex at ‘Byron on Byron’ with a lad named Byron or his half-sister Augusta, or Lady Caroline, or Countess Teresa, or the baker’s wife, or that lovely Greek boy, Loukas; Lord Byron never got to do burnouts on Tennyson Street nor donuts on Milton, never knocked over the wheelie bins on Burns or Browning Sts – Lord Byron never surfed Byron Bay his mate Shelley never swam the Byron Bay Classic nor drowned at the Pass and Mary Shelley didn’t write ‘Frankenstein’ at the Piggery – Byron never dragged his clubfoot through the sands of Byron nor had his gorgeous auburn beaded or braided at the Byron Markets – he never walked the Cape in a rain-soaked cape never wrote poems by the flash of the lighthouse

Faraway Tree A new exhibition opening at Retrospect Galleries on Wednesday explores literature and words through the eyes of the artist, showcasing works inspired by books and stories and random words beginning with the letter ‘p’. never featured at ‘Writers at the Rails’, he never got pissed and caused a scene at the Byron Bay Writers Festival never glided down to Cosy Corner on his nylon wings never smoked opium in the dunes or popped ekkies on Jonson Street, Byron never wore thongs or sunblock he was never anorexic or fat on the cover of Who magazine he never got busted on the Byron-Nimbin Shuttle Bus he never played the Blues Festival, or Splendour, or MardiGrass... we did all that for him... Lord Byron never surfed Byron Bay never saw the moon rise over Julian Rocks nor the sun slide down Mount Warning... instead, he got a nasty cold on a Greek isle, and a fever, and, without all the healers of the Bay the foolish doctors bled him slowly away; he’d have loved the Bay he would have been Lord Byron of Byron Bay – we plunder his name every day for sex and drugs and burgers and baubles and poetry – the ghosts of Byron always surf the Bay Stand Up for A Laugh.

CHESS by Ian Rogers

The main event of the 2010 ANU Open was expected to be a battle between Australia’s two leading Grandmasters, Zhao Zong Yuan and David Smerdon, warming up for Olympic duty. Instead Andras Toth (pictured above) unexpectedly crashed the party. Arriving in Australia from Hungary four years ago as a promising young International Master, Toth put his playing career on hold, becoming Canberra’s only high-level coach. Toth kept his eye in by competing in occasional Grand Prix tournaments on the eastern seaboard, but his main work was helping to advance the ACT’s

Harry Brown Until the loathsome Quentin Tarantino came along, the vengeance flick rarely presented itself as ‘art house’ (whatever that means). It’s too transparent in intent, it appeals too exclusively to our base instincts. Indeed, this one might have been directed by Alan ‘the Parrot’ Jones, so extreme is the horribleness of those asking to have their blocks knocked off and so powerless in the face of official inaction the wheezing good guy who is fated to oblige.

KNIGHT AND DAY

h t h hero. At seventy-seven, he plays a widower, with a young daughter long buried, living an invisible life on a housing estate that is terrorized by hooligans. He’s content to let the world go by until one night his only mate, Lenny, with whom he plays chess at the local boozer, is murdered. Harry, a passive watcher from behind drawn curtains, resolves to take on the role of avenging angel. We’ve known and admired Caine (or, at least I have) ever since he was bedding birds as ‘Alfie’ back in the Sixties and are aware of the coldness that he can convincingly bring to the screen as well as the earthy cockney warmth. In the East End once more, he looks like he never left and it is this sense of belonging that brings credibility to a character who otherwise may have been implausible. Sensibly, director Daniel Barber doesn’t demand any great physical exertions of Caine – quite the opposite, he accentuates Harry’s frailty and lack of mobility. But with a back story of having been in the Marines, it is not too much of a stretch to believe that Harry is up for the job. The most memorable scene comes when he meets a couple of strung out junkies at their warehouse squat to buy guns from them. In front of a TV showing porn, there is a comatose lass lying dribbling with a syringe hanging out of her arm, while the emaciated, scarred, tattooed geezers who will do the deal make the ‘Trainspotting’ crew look healthy enough to play State of Origin. Dark and surreal, it is way over the top – but I was in it up to my eyeballs. Emily Mortimer, the token female character, does not exhibit the psychological steel that you’d expect of a Detective Inspector, but the thugs are sensationally bad in what is a morally questionable but suspenseful and feel-good massacre. ~John Campbell

Soul Kitchen is a cheerful comedy about sex and food and music set in a workingclass part of Hamburg. The film is directed by Fatih Akin, one of the most important contemporary German directors to have emerged in recent years. It is filled with a collection of

The food served is pretty basic – hamburgers and chips mostly, until Zinos hires a temperamental chef and suddenly Soul Kitchen becomes the ‘in’ place.

t db th Banksy, B k executed by others. appearing in silhouette and with his voice altered, claims that Thierry is a more interesting character that he is, then goes on to deliver a subtle but not malicious hatchet job on the Frankenstein that he was so instrumental in creating. The movie itself, in its middle section, tends to be boring and repetitive, primarily because the material is handheld footage shot by Guetta, who for years carried a camera everywhere he went but rarely employed it with a cinematic eye. There are too many grainy, home-video type sequences but Banksy’s honesty – he arrives at a conclusion that supports orthodoxy – and wry humour carry the day. As exposés go, it cuts close to the bone of a business that deals in autographs rather than art and asks the enigmatic question; who is the joke on? ~John Campbell

Lentilicious Victoria Cosford

Becoming definite in one’s views is just one of the mixed blessings that come with age. Self-assurance is a lovely thing unless – or until – it tips over into inflexibility and obduracy. And there I was convinced I knew those foods I loved and those I did not, only to be startled by an ingredient whose possibilities suddenly appear endless. This is thanks to the ladies behind Lentilicious and their little operation revolving, of course, around the humble lentil. Lentils are often referred to as the ‘poor man’s meat’; humble they have long been perceived, with the exception of a French variety called Puys. One of the first vegetables to be cultivated, they are a member of the legume family and a type of pulse. In fact they are the seeds of the legume Lens culinaris; they look a little like gravel, and their flavour is earthy and nutty. In one of the quiet Mullumbimby back streets near the reserve, Anthea Packshaw and Sharna Glasser run what essentially amounts to their little factory in one of the rooms of Anthea’s house. Although they started the business about two years ago it is only really now that the girls are ready to step things up. Both trained carers for people with mental and physical disabilities, they met at the same facility which, two years ago, sold out to a private company, resulting in both finding themselves without a job. ‘We were both going through personal crises individually as well’, Sharna tells me as we settle around the kitchen table over herbal tea. ‘We’re both vegetarian and were always looking for quick easy meals – and we found that lentils fit the bill. We found there was room to expand from the Indian dhal. ’We felt, Anthea resumes, ‘that there was a niche in the market, that people don’t know what to do with lentils, especially when confronted by the choice of colours and types. They started playing around with flavour combinations, going as far as

As instructed I squeeze lime juice over the rice, dollop a little in the lentils, add a spoonful of creamy yoghurt stirred through chutney and dip in. It is divine! It is a revelation, unexpectedly light, tangy, lush and citrussy and so removed from my expectations and experiences of muddy sludge. ‘We’re passionate about bringing lentils into the mainstream,’ Sharna tells me. ‘It’s a protein meal that gives the meat/fish eaters the opportunity to have an alternative protein meal.’ So far the girls have devised five types; apart from Lime Time there is Coconut Fusion (popular with children), Mediterranean, Turmeric Magic and Red Hot Chilli – but they’re not stopping here. Plans are afoot for breakfast lentils and dessert lentils. Meanwhile they do three markets a week, including Byron Bay, Bangalow, Brunswick, Lennox Head, Mullumbimby, Mulllum Farmers Market and Lismore Farmers Market. They say the response is fantastic: ‘It’s been a hit wherever we go,’ says Sharna, ‘People are so excited with the possibilities.’ 5IF MFOUJM QBDLT DPOUBJO CBZ MFBWFT LBĂłS MJNF leaves, turmeric, dried chili, shredded coconut and on the back the simplest instructions as to how to cook them.

SNIPPETS NORTHERN RIVERS FOOD Northern Rivers Food is a proactive group established for the benefit of all food businesses that grow, manufacture, distribute, sell or serve food in the Northern Rivers region of NSW. Its vision is to create an effective umbrella for marketing, promoting and developing food businesses in the Northern Rivers region which will deliver commercial benefits to its members by connecting, offering knowledge and profiling food-related business. Essentially it is about promoting the brand ‘Northern Rivers Food’ in the marketplace on a local, national and international level. Its recent meeting in Lennox Head saw esteemed Sydney food-writer John Newton workshop with members and guests on strategies to effect this brand awareness, and one of his suggestions was to disseminate the stories of the various growers, producers and other characters within the industry. On October 21 – 23 the 125th North Coast National Exhibition will be held at Lismore Showground and this year will be partnering with Northern Rivers Food to bring to the region the Northern Rivers Food Expo. The region’s longest-standing event is keen to reflect changes in agriculture and lifestyle relevant to the area, and as a result local

FOR THE LOVE OF RIESLING

6684 7273

A book dedicated solely to riesling was launched in Canberra recently. ‘Riesling in Australia’ is the first book to look at the history, the regions, the legends and the producers of a single variety in Australia. It took three years for its authors, winemakers Ken Helm and Trish Burgess, to research and write the book. This is the ideal book for aficionados of this completely underrated variety, which many people persist in believing is an overly sweet beverage. In fact this aromatic variety – originating in Germany’s Rhine region – can be made as a sweet, semi-sweet or bone-dry wine. ‘Riesling in Australia’ lists all 550+ current riesling producers in the country together with regional maps, an explanation of the geographical regions and an outline of riesling events around the world.

‘Never had any trouble with politicians when I was up the Zambezi,’ said Bosworth, observing the sunlight through his beaker of absinthe. ‘Local chieftain soon found a spot for them among his shrunken head collection.’ Bosworth is fairly fundamentalist in his approach to social interaction and over the coming few weeks head shrinking (for which there seems to be no scientific term, such as ‘cephaloattenuation’) might be a temptation for many among the disenchanted. It gives new weight to the idea of the political headkicker. In fact the study of politicians’ shrunken heads could be known as cephaloattenupsephology.

Other than the miasma of a federal election floating nearby, the day was pleasant enough. Bosworth had his absinthe and the rest of us began with a cheeky semillon accompanied by parmesan canapĂŠs.

PROGRAM LIFTOUT

AUGUST ď˜žďšşď™€ ď˜şď˜šď›œď˜š

PRESENTED BY THE

Workshops from August 2

A first-time author looks forward to catching up with his heroes

A gathering of great Australian writers and thinkers Justin Sheedy

One of the most exciting events (some would say the most exciting) on the Australian Literary Calendar, this year’s Festival features a veritable Metric Shitload of influential identities from the Australian literary and media scene. Oh, and there’s a few journalistic types in there as well – some newcomer by the name of Kerry O’Brien, they don’t think he’ll amount to much ‌ To think, I’ll be in actual gawking distance of individuals whose mastery of words I’ve so long admired, enjoyed, and humbly aspired to. Festival Guests of Honour include 2007 Pulitzer Prize finalist, Megan Stack, war correspondent, Moscow bureau chief for the Los Angeles Times and author of ‘Every Man in This Village is a Liar’: An Education in War. Megan will feature ‘In Conversation’ with that Kerry O’Brien fellow. Should be a beauty. Oz trouper of stage and screen, William McInnes, is also way up there. I thoroughly enjoyed Part 1 of 4 of The Making of Modern Australia – ABC TV, Thursday nights, 8:30pm, based on his recent book release to be featured at the Festival. On this year’s program, there’s just so much to be part of, to learn from. In chronological order, among my personal pick of Events is:

Friday 2:30pm: Bodice ripping: writing sex and intimacy (well, nothing much I can pick up there but I thought I’d saunter in) – Panel with Kathy Lette, Laura Bloom, Kim Falconer and Krissy Kneen, chaired by Rosemary Sorensen in the Macquarie Marquee, North Beach Festival Site. Saturday August 7, 8am: Breakfast with Monica Trapaga at St Elmo’s, Fletcher St, Byron Bay. I’ll be staying with my parents who live near Byron – Mum always says I should eat a good breakfast, especially the morning after the night before and, let’s not deny it, in this case the night before will be the Festival Opening Night Party (cue sound effect: bottles tinkling‌). Saturday 11:45am: 30 Minutes with Tony Martin – live readings and musings from one of my comic heroes. Mac-

quarie Marquee ‌ I also like Tony Martin. Saturday 1:30pm: Truth and nothing but the truth: getting history right – Panel with Mike Carlton, Michael Cathcart, Sam Everingham, chaired by somebody called Mungo MacCallum‌ Blue Marquee, Festival Site. Saturday 5pm: Meet Kathy Lette – Byron Theatre, Byron Community Centre, Jonson St, Byron Bay. Well maybe it’s just me but I can’t think of Author Justin Sheedy. any sane, heterosexual man Sunday 8 August, 1pm: who wouldn’t like to meet Ms Clever, clever men: writing Lette‌ satire for performance – PanSaturday 8pm: The com- el featuring John Doyle, Tony edy hour. Or two – Up-close, Martin, Tim Pye, chaired by live and personal insights by Jacqueline Woodman. All I comics Lily Bragge, John Doyle can say is, the first three words (another comic hero of mine), of the event title here stand Tony Martin, Tim Pye and Ak- as an example of the English mal Saleh on the voodoo that language at its most accurate. they do so well. Byron Theatre. Macquarie Marquee.

Pluto till lately, you’ll know that Tony is one of Australia’s best and most intelligent comic talents, the man who brought us Bargearse, who has been making us laugh and think since the D-Generation Susan Maushart brings us The Winter of Our Disconnect, an hilarious and insightful read about how she and her family unplugged themselves from our modern techno reality – and survived (!). I assume that our discussion may touch on the contrast between family life now and my own experience of family life in the 1970s where, aside from black-and-white TV, there was no technology‌ Brian Thacker, intrepid travel-writer extraordinaire, will be talking about his latest release, I’m Not Eating Any of that Foreign Muck. Travels with his old dad on the Costa Del Concrete – hilarious reading. I spoke to Brian and he’s clearly a regulation Top Bloke as he said nice things about my own book.

with veteran authors Peter Skrzynecki and Rodney Hall, panel chaired by Dr Phillip Edmonds, a prolific force in Australian academic and literary circles and founder of Wet Ink, magazine champion of new writing. Hall’s Popeye Never Told You is his own story of growing up in the at times surreal world of wartime Britain.He tells it with the involuntary objectivity of a very young child. How he captures life’s fleeting moments of perfection. Or rather, how, being what they are, they can never be ‘captured’. My own more recent story in Goodbye Crackernight seems by contrast one of an idyllic childhood, though the 1970s Australia I describe had changed little from the 1950s Australia of Clive James’ Unreliable Memoirs. That said, just as I was growing up, so was Australia – a country on the very verge of turning from a Whitebread Anglo post-war society into the multicultural Oz we know and love today.

As for my own involvement in the Festival (and yes, I am still what is described in mediSunday 4-5pm: Simpler cal terminology as ‘Stoked’), I’ll times: boyhoods of the past. Q See more of Justin’s work at be taking part on two panels as For this panel I’ll be chatting http://crackernight.com follows:

Sunday 10:45am – 12pm: You can’t pick ’em but you can pick ’em clean: families as fodder. (For writing, presumably‌) Here I’ll be talking with Tony Martin, Susan Maushart and Brian Thacker in the Festival site’s SCU Marquee, panel chaired by publishing industry czarina, Irina Dunn. Tony Martin has recently published A Nest of Occasionals, following the success of his first book, Lolly Scramble. Unless you’ve been living on

Byron Bay Writers Festival AUGUST  

Remembering the writers who cannot come to the festival What have Angus McDonald, Hillary Herman, Christine Wilcocks and Ken Johnson in common? They all are creating chairs for this year’s Byron Bay Writers Festival in support of Sydney PEN. The Sydney PEN Centre defends freedom of expression: campaigning on behalf of writers in the Asia and Pacific region who have been silenced by persecution or imprisonment, and promoting the written word in all its forms. This year’s Festival is themed ‘Words Without Walls’. The chairs will

be on the podium for the duration of the Festival, representing writers and journalists from repressive regimes. The chairs will be auctioned, with the proceeds going directly to PEN. Curator Dev Lengjel is presenting the chairs as part of a sculpture show, which finds itself in its third year of collaborating with the Writers Festival. The melding of two art forms that have the artist creating in solitude, shaping stone/steel/glass etc, or words, has had a very positive recep-

tion from participants and visitors alike. This year, sculptors include Daniel Clemmett, David Walsh, Jim Blower, Ken Golding, Luke Zwolsman, Rob Gibson, Allen Horstmanshoff, Potts, Ken Johnson, Dev Lengjel and more. Dev has been involved in sculpture shows for the last 10 years, working at Thursday Plantation, artsCape and Swell, as site manager and curator. Said Festival Director Jeni Caffin, ‘The PEN Empty Chair and the reading of the biography of an imprisoned

writer forms a significant element of the Festival presentation. ‘While it saddens me that there is no shortage of biographies from which to choose, the mere presence of that Chair on stage is a powerful reminder that yes, we do live in a lucky country. ‘I am grateful to Dev for bringing this project to fruition and urge audience members to avail themselves of this opportunity to support an essential organisation and acquire a symSculpture show curator Dev Lengjel bolic and resonant work of art.’

Journey into Russia’s chaotic heart Red Square Blues: a Beginners Guide to the Decline and fall of the Soviet Union by Kim Traill (Fourth Estate 2009, RRP$32.99) Christopher Hanley

I really like books that teach me things. Books full of historical and political facts fused with a personal journey through exotic locations. Kim Traill’s Red Square Blues: a Beginners Guide to the Decline and fall of the Soviet Union is one of those books. But a caution. The title is a little misleading. The author’s insights into the once mighty Soviet Union between 1990 and 2007 are not those of a beginner. We join Kim as she spends the best part of two decades in and out of the Soviet Union. She left Melbourne, where she trained as a classical musician and played clarinet with the Australian Youth Orchestra, and went on an unconventional grand tour that at one point had her interviewing xenophobic skinheads in below freezing temperatures, by now a young mother with her baby son in a pram by her side. This book is not another travelogue by a writer who catches a luxury train across the surface of a country and has some wine-fuelled conversations with a few wealthy locals in the bar of a 5 star hotel. Travel, the word, does not really describe the author’s journeys. Dunking yourself fully clothed seems a much better way to describe her experiences. Many of Kim’s expeditions are on trains in platscart wagons, the cheapest mode of transport favoured by students and the poor and it is in these compacted, often smelly spaces that she meets many of the interesting characters in her

Author and adventurer Kim Traill.

book. Tatars and Armenians and Uzbeks and Georgians, all with their own stories that Kim weaves into her own. If you ask me to tell you in a word what this book is about, I would probably say friendship. Kim Traill is the type of person who believes friendship is an active rather than a passive connection between people and once she has met people she revisits them and their families throughout the book. The book is also about conversations and about the gift of curiosity, surely the greatest gift for a writer. Kim Traill has abundant curiosity. We are allowed to sit silently by the author’s side and listen in to the myriad of conversations with people who live in what must be one of the most contradictory and climatically challenging places on the planet. There is a good line in the

book that will bring a smile to Paul Keating’s face. Natasha, a friend of the author, is trying to describe her country: ‘It looks like Europe but really it is a banana republic.’ Capitalism did not deliver for the bulk of the Russian people. One percent of Russians lived below the poverty line under Communism and no-one slept homeless on the streets. Today, after 20 years of unfettered capitalism, more than half of the 142 million people live below the poverty line. Crime and criminal gangs are rife and corruption is the biggest industry in Russia, with the level of corruption being greater than the entire Danish economy. We are introduced to all the usual political suspects. Vodka fuelled Boris makes many appearances as does Gorbachev who is praised abroad and reviled at home. Putin though is

the star and Kim’s observations about the cult of the strong man and the return to the days of Stalin style leadership and of the revival of the alliance of church and state to ferment patriotism are interesting reading. You find yourself asking, has anything really changed in Russia? One constant throughout Red Square Blues is the long journeys to exotic places like Kazan, the capital of Tatarstan. Each time we visit a new region the author shows us where women fit within this ethnic group. This is often not in a good place. We see firsthand the effects of alcohol in this harsh climate and we understand how lucky we are to have the fresh food we eat every day. There are also some important travel tips, like the Tatar cure for a cold and why it’s important to look out for chickens when using the toilet in parts of the Soviet Union. Buy it and read it. It has that quirky, aimless element so sometimes you do not know in which direction the story will head because the author is footloose and adventurous and on a whim she packs up and buys a train ticket from a tout outside a train station and takes a journey to another extraordinary place. It’s fun to read but at times very sad because the lives of many people in this book, and in particular some of the women in the southern regions of the Soviet Union, are really difficult. Kim will be a guest at the Byron Bay Writers Festival and we will have a conversation in a tent on Sunday morning, so please come along and join us and listen to this talented film maker, journalist and writer talk about her book.

BP spending billions to help local author launch new book Little boys were recently left to play in a warm bathtub called the Gulf of Mexico. They had some very shiny and expensive toys to play with. These boys said that they didn’t need any supervision because their toys were: ‘So safe we’re prepared to bet our workers lives on them.’ Unfortunately, the boys played a bit rough and their biggest toy broke, sinking to the bottom of the tub. It cost 11 men their lives and for months up to 60,000 barrels of crude oil a day were spewed into the Gulf of Mexico. The costs to try to clean the ring left on that bathtub are expected to exceed $US30 billion. Local author Daniel Prokop would rather that BP had not sludged the Gulf of Mexico. ‘The very least we can do is to use the environmental disas-

ter as a wake up call. It is time for us to leave Neverland, for our sake, for our children’s sake. As the Neverland departure lounge fades into the distance, the little boys (and little girls) that are behaving badly will be replaced by adults and we can start to live happily and cooperatively ever after.’ The Global Financial Crisis was proudly brought to us all by different little boys in designer suits behaving the same way. They convinced authorities that they were more than responsible enough to be put in charge of the banking cookie jar. Of course they helped themselves to our cookies because ‘self regulation’ to a child means ‘quick, grab as many cookies as you can.’ The only real surprise is that people are surprised at the missing

cookies. The IMF estimates that the total cost to put the cookie jar back in order is over $US4 trillion dollars. If you are alarmed, pissed off or just concerned with what is happening in the Gulf and elsewhere then this book is for you. If you think that it is time to say ‘Just drop the cookies and back away from the jar,’ then this book is for you. If you are interested in Rites of Passage as a solution for Leaving Neverland then, yup, this book is for you. ‘An insightful depiction of the dangers we face in having the perpetual ‘boys’ of this world in positions of power – incomplete men with arrested development. The style, pace and delightful skewering are reminiscent of Hunter S Thomson!’– Rex Finch, Finch Publishing

Little boys in adult bodies should not be allowed to run big corporations. They shouldn’t be allowed to run governments, armies, religions, small businesses and charities either and just quietly, they make pretty shabby husbands and fathers too. Mankind has become Pankind and whilst “Lost Boys” abound, there is an alarming increase in the number of “Lost girls.” Says Daniel, ‘In the western world, it seems that most adults don’t want to grow up but have lost the joy and freedom of being childlike and in a desperate attempt to stay young forever have achieved eternal childishness, rather than eternal youth.’ Leaving Neverland (Why Little Boys Shouldn’t Run Big Corporations) is Daniel Prokop’s first book

and is being launched at the Launchpad at the Byron Bay Writer’s Festival at 2.30pm, Friday August 6. See more at http://leavingneverland.net.

Program Liftout PRESENTED BY THE BYRON SHIRE

Chasing ghosts among rival warlords in Afghanistan ‘Every Man in This Village Is a Liar’: An Education in War by Megan Stack (Scribe Publications) Maria Hauff

Escorted from Pakistan to Afghanistan by a warlord in the middle of the night and scrounging around the ruins of Jalalabad looking for a safe place to stay was how Megan Stack was initiated into war. This autobiographical account of her experiences is unquestionably ‘An Education in War’ and gives an intricately detailed and raw description of the conflict in the Middle East through the eyes of a young reporter, delivered with such eloquent fluency that you cannot help but be captivated by her extraordinary story. Megan Stack was only twenty five when she was thrown into Afghanistan to cover the war ‘by accident’. Before that, she was a national correspondent in Houston and had no experience in writing about combat. She was young, naïve and excited at the prospect of reporting about such an important time. In the beginning, America’s plan seemed fairly logical: hunting down Osama Bin Laden, quashing the Taliban and liberating the women. However it didn’t take

long to realise they were chasing ghosts. ‘I kept waiting for a narrative to assert itself. A battle had begun, and so there must be a climax, there must be a resolution. I expected something to happen in the end.’ The warlord with whom Stack had entered the country was being paid by the Americans to fight for them and, together with a group of Mujahideen, she followed them into the mountains toward the Tora Bora to Osama Bin Laden’s hiding place. For days and nights she lived among rival warlords forced to work together for American money to defeat Al Qaeda and find Bin Laden. Death was all around her and the battleground was virtually invisible. ‘Events flickered, split, and rolled away like mercury. To write about the battle in an organised way, to shuffle the pieces, tap the sides and square it into paragraphs was a fabrication.’ Stack is meticulous when it comes to describing the feel of her surroundings and the horrific conditions in which people live. She gives a voice to the innocents of war and the shock and terror that has become normality for them while providing the reader with insight into the political and religious background of the country at the same time.

Author and war journalist Megan Stack.

We follow Stack not only through the war in Afghanistan but also to Israel and Iraq. It is in Iraq that she writes of the utter madness that has re-

placed the fear and order of a Saddam-led dictatorship. There is no electricity, no water and people run wild in the streets wielding guns. We learn

that even though the people have been freed from tyranny they are still wracked by fear. Saddam Hussein may be gone but his Baathist followers are still living amongst them and may at some point infiltrate into a position of power leaving victims of atrocities fearful to speak out. The way Megan Stack describes the enormity of death in both Afghanistan and Iraq is overwhelming. She uses such evocative yet laconic language to express the reality of war and its aftermath. Her ability to cope with living among incredible chaos and terror is awe inspiring. However, war takes it toll on all people and Megan Stack is no exception. She begins to suffer from the trauma of it all and after reporting on a suicide bombing, one of many, she collapses in a hospital among the stench of infection, blood and grief. Not that this courageous woman capitulates by any means, she just changes tack and leaves war conditions on a quest to obtain a broader perspective of the war on terrorism. This of course brings her to understand our unrelenting dependency on oil and the lengths we will go to in order to negotiate for it. Stack’s valour doesn’t cease to amaze as she enters Libya, Jordon, Saudi Arabia and Ye-

men. Confronted by regimes and dictators, just as vicious and malevolent as Saddam Hussein, Stack perseveres on her quests to ask questions and comment on her observations. ‘You can’t do anything in a dictatorship. You construct little facades of freedom, but that’s just a child’s game of pretend. The eyes are on you, always, watching and judging and remembering. Sometimes the regime will let you think you are moving around freely. Sometimes the regime will remind you that you will never be free.’ This brilliantly insightful book highlights the contradictory nature of the wars in the Middle East and gives us a discerning and raw view of the reality of the conflict on the ground. Not only does Stack take the reader on an unimaginable journey through the Middle East, she shares what this journey is like as a woman. I felt every moment of this book and am left with an extreme sense of gratitude that there are women like Megan Stack in the world. Her courage and strength is incredible and I was captivated and exhilarated by her story from the moment I started reading. This is ‘An Education in War’ that shall never be forgotten by this reader.

Byron Bay Writers Festival AUGUST  

This sporting lunch The Byron Bay Writers Festival presents the most boisterous sports lunch yet: Having a Ball: why sport matters. This lively event will be held on Thursday August 5 at the Bangalow Dining Rooms, Bangalow Hotel, Bangalow from 12pm-3pm and will include hearty food and a gluttony of sporting banter. ABC radio personality Michael Cathcart will referee the conversation between people with a lot to say on the subject, each with a different sporting background, each sharing their personal perspective. Front and centre will be Phillip Gwynne, author of the hugely popular Deadly, Unna? When injury forced him off the football field, Gwynne lived in Thailand, Belgium and Brazil before settling in Sydney. With a background as a professional Aussie Rules player and writer of an international best seller marrying themes of youth, race and sport under his belt, who better than Gwynne to explore the cultural importance of sport in Australia? Joining Gwynne on this meaty panel is ABC reporter, producer and radio personality, Steve Cannane. A Walkley Award winner, Cannane is a champion of pop culture, current affairs and cricket, especially backyard cricket, the subject of his book detailing

great Australian cricketers and the backyards that made them. Keeping the ball in the air is former AFL star Adam Ramanauskas. After battling cancer an unbelievable three times from the age of 22, Ramanauskas tells his story in Nine Lives: a personal account of his battle with cancer, a narrative of triumph over adversity. The legendary Mark Skaife, pictured, is a five time winner of the V8 Supercars/Austra-

lian Touring Car Championship and also a five time winner of the Bathurst 1000. After an extremely successful racing career Skaife retired in 2008 and instated himself as an advocate for road safety, with his mission to reduce Australia’s national road toll. Fine food, keen conversation kicking goals in Bangalow’s best. Book now at www. byronbaywritersfestival.com or Jetset Byron Bay on 6685 6262.

Celebrating regional writers Over fifteen years, the NSW network of Writers Centres, NSW LitLink, has created a fertile and hospitable environment for writers to work with many levels of support and increasing pathways to publication. The second year of the Byron Bay Writers Festival LitLink Unpublished Manuscript Awards celebrates the high professional standard of writing that can now be found in all areas of regional NSW. Five writers made the shortlist, their origins ranging from the South Coast, through the Blue Mountains and Hunter areas to the Northern Rivers. The five manuscripts are all of exceptional quality, sure in the creation of a particular and often startling world, confident in the narrative passion and skill necessary to draw readers into that world and to keep them there, enthralled. The five writers are Bill Lane (Northern Rivers), Simon Luckhurst (South Coast), Ryan O’Neill (Hunter), Jane Skelton (Blue Mountains) and Lisa Walker (Northern Rivers). From this shortlist, three winners have been selected. They will each receive a twoweek residential workshop at Varuna –The Writers House in the Blue Mountains, working with the Varuna Creative

Bangalow author Shirley Nelson’s book The Ghost at the Wedding earned her the Nita Kibble Award.

Team to prepare their work for submission to publishers. It’s been a good year for the writers of regional NSW, with two writers from the Northern Rivers area winning major national prizes: Maris Morton taking the inaugural Scribe Fiction Prize, and Shirley Walker taking the Nita Kibble Award.

Winners of the Byron Bay Writers Festival LitLink Unpublished Manuscript Awards will be announced at a session entitled A- listers at the Festival at 9.45am in the Chatroom on Sunday August 8. They will appear in conversation with Peter Bishop, Creative Director of Varuna, the Writers’ House.

activist confronting his own truths as his secret double life implodes. Kim Cheng Boey is a Singaporean writer of essay and poetry. Between Stations segues silkily into a memory from the poet’s childhood, in which a father is taking a walk, or a smoke, with his son. Particularly moving are moments when he sees himself in his own son and sees himself as his own departed father through his child’s eyes. David Carlin has given us Our Father Who Wasn’t There. When David was six months old, his father Brian suicided. It was the 1960s in Western

Australia and suicide was a sin. Damien Leith first came to notice as winner of Australian Idol in 2006. Remember June is a shattering novel about fathers and sons and the power of memory. Mattie is a kid living with his aunt in Ireland and hasn’t seen his father, Dave, for six months. Dave’s trying to face his family, but is tormented by memories of The Troubles. Four very different writers and divergent views of family, in a discussion Chaired by Alan Close who writes transparently about his own relationship with his father and has now just become one for the first time.

The theme of family lends itself to both fiction and non fiction genres and the 2010 program turns its gaze to the role of the father. Jeni Caffin, Festival Director, explains, ‘The father is often a remote, conflicted figure at the narrative’s core, struggling for close relationship, craving respect and love. On Sunday August 8, meet four writers who engage with the poignancy of fatherhood in very different ways.’ In indigenous writer Larissa Behrendt‘s novel, Legacy, the central character’s life in Sydney is defined by her complex relationship with her father Tony, an Aboriginal rights

Bangalow’s and Byron’s very hard day Shand series a hot bed Byron v Kyogle Byron travelled to Kyogle on Saturday to take on the second placed Cockatoos at home. The opening stages of the game saw Kyogle come at Byron really hard, constantly hammering the line, but failing to cross, due to some strong defence from the forwards especially Grieg Munro. Byron hit back straight away through some classic running rugby. Honourable mention to new half back Steve White for servicing our back line with speed and accuracy. Byron proved too much for the Kyogle forwards, Byron putting away a penalty right and successful conversion in the first five minutes. The rest of the first half was a hard fought battle, both sides testing each other across all areas, until just before half time, prop Josh proved valuable crossing in the corner off the end of a back line move. Kyogle regrouped and sent their outside centre Isaac carving through the middle of our defensive line to score under the post, with their conversion successful, Byron went to the break leading 8-7. Kyogle stepped up a cog and were rewarded with points in the second half and the Cockatoos crept in front 14-8. As always the effort to play and the hunger to win was there from the Bay, however

Bangalow’s Dick Collins goes all out for his team in their game against Yamba on Saturday

Kyogle exposed the new backline combination with their flyhalf slicing through and trying under the post with about ten minutes remaining. The conversion was successful which put Kyogle comfortably in front 21-8. A positive attitude and the belief that it was still theirs if they wanted it was led by ‘Damage’ Hamiliton – his continuous chat fired up the forwards. The motivation proved costly with the Bay eventually crossing through a brilliant individual try by Grieg Munro to run in out wide pulling the score back to 21-13.

into the game undermanned and under prepared – they won the toss and took the wind but failed to use it. An early head knock to Bangalow’s fly half didn’t help as Yamba took control of the game. The home team showed they were up for the challenge, repelling countless raids, but eventually cracked through the backs. When Bangalow were guilty of poor technique, silly mistakes and not cherishing the ball enough and moments before the break, Yamba scored another converted try through their backs. This was a telling blow. The second half was much the same as the first with Bangalow not giving an inch in defense but failing in the fundamentals of the game. Yamba scored again, this time through some tired forwards. The games was a good wake up call for Bangalow if they think by semis it will all fall into place. Yamba were by far the more complete side in every facet but Bangalow can take heart knowing what it takes to win the big one Best for the locals were oldies but goodies, in the forwards, Greg Cromwell and Brett Starky and in the backs Drew Gribble and Matt Hill.

Some maintain that cricket is a game for the socially impeded; if this is the case then Mullumbimby can boast about biggest little town status as well as being the home of the most social antisocial sporting competition in Australia, the Nick Shand Memorial cricket series. Sunday’s action promised more than an election grab-bag as the undefeated Left Bankers took on Main Arm to renew a rivalry that goes back to when cricket was played amongst the fruit bats at Wanganui. Snakebite Pete won the toss for the Bankers and chose to bat with Lomath Oval glowing like a laser hologram in winter sunshine. Russell and Snake were probed and sniffed like patrons of Splendor in the opening overs, Greg having a hand in both of their dismissals to give the Arm the upper hand. Che and Kye took scalps and before you knew it the first session was over with Main Arm yet to concede a boundary and looking like anything but yesterday’s heroes. The cagey Bankers had saved their big hitters Sean, Russ and Bruce for the second session and a series of thumping hits brought the economy out of recession. When Main Arm

weren’t chasing leather they were just fetching it back from nearby localities. Bourkey ran a mile back to hold a fine catch off Russ but looked up to find he was closer to the adjacent netball courts than the boundary. Sharky did a good job feeding the rapacious batsmen around him before he fell caught John, bowled Eden Bourke. The score had to be assembled from DNA swabs and charred bone fragments, but finished at 181, a series high. After lunch Main Arm openers James and Stewie saw off a sharp opening spell from the two Russells, but then the ball was thrown to Zac who soon had it snapping sideways like the jewel in a belly dancer’s navel. Joffrey and Brian started with repair work, but were soon making extensions to the score. Drinks showed 3 for 84 with Brian in the shed retired and the match anyone’s to take. Greg for the Arm began to do some big hitting, and Snake copped a bit of stick early on but he got the trademark shuffle going in his meandering run-up, and with his last two balls removed Greg and Joff. Eden and Declan battled hard, but when Guy had Bourkey caught the match was popped like a cane toad on the M1.

Magpies disappointment The Magpies hosted the Ballina bombers at home in a must win game – with a few players on a Splendour bender and more no shows, it was always going to be hard. Karim Kaufmann was playing his one hundred and second game and with Grazer Hayworth’s impending deportation to Pommieland, the Magpies had plenty to play for and started well with strong goals from Nick Preston who finished with six for the game. Sam Lucas and Dan Tiffin were dominating the back half with Wayne Van Haandal. Jake May was getting plenty of the

ball with Marcus Atkinson and Byron were leading at quarter time 22 to 17. By half time Ballina had edged in front by 15 points. In the second half the lack of interchange players took its toll and Ballina took control of the game winning 131 to 69. Byrons players put in all day but 15 players against 22 was never going to end well. With three games left, the Magpies are needing all players commitment to finish the season. This week the Magpies take on ladder leader Tweed Tigers at Pottsville. Enquiries Mick 0432 401 334.

Ghosts take the points but spirit is with Red Devils John Campbell

The Grafton Ghosts strutted into town undefeated after twelve rounds of the NRRRL. The Red Devils, hitting their straps at the right end of the season, were primed for the challenge of bringing them down. Battle was joined under a cloudless sky and before a willing crowd, but with only eighteen minutes gone the referee saw fit to send off Clarence Kelly, the home side’s captain and most potent attacking weapon. Clarence’s elbow to the head of the Ghosts’ fullback may not have been his most discreet act of the season, but the ref, basing his decision on a touchie’s report, showed an officious disregard for the occasion by dismissing Kelly. The Bay were ahead 4-0 at the time. In the Ghosts’ twenty, five-eighth Ben Webber had rifled the ball to centre Tobin

ly, drew cries of ‘send him off!’ from the irate partisans on the Western hill. A try might have given the Ghosts the wobbles, but it just wasn’t to be. The Devils’ execution was too often hurried and messy, their urgency to close the 4-14 gap resulting in poor fifth tackle options – on those occasions when they let their time in possession go that far. Why, if you’re knocking yourself out, you’d want to hand the ball back before it was due via kicks early in the count remains a mystery. Grafton registered a couple of late tries to make it 24-4, but by then the score was academic. They’d proven their point, viz., you won’t beat them a man down. About the Bay we learnt a more valuable lesson concerning character. Simon Kelly’s boys have it by the truckload and if the comp goes to the team with most heart, the Red Devils are in it with a big shot.

Bangalow PS sisters a runaway success Sisters Marlie and Brianna Campton, both students of Bangalow Public School, are rapidly making their way up the ladder of competitive running. Last week both girls competed at the NSW All Schools Cross Country Championships in Sydney. Brianna, a Year 4 student, competed in the Girls 8/9 years 2km race and placed fourth and her sister Marlie – a Year 6 student, competed in the Girls 12 years 3km race and placed second,. She will now go on to compete at the School Sports Association’s National Cross Country Championships to be held in Brisbane. A relative newcomer to the sport, Brianna, only began running competitively this year. In April she placed in the 200m race for her age group

A recent event at the Tyagarah Cross Country Grounds saw competitors from Zone 15 pony clubs and New Zealand riders who are here in an exchange program run within Pony Clubs Australia, compete in several cross country equestrian events. Mullum riders Murray and Mandy MacKinnon have put a lot of time, effort and hard work into getting the event up and running and are hoping that more horse lovers will use the grounds that are now in great shape.

Blayne returns to M2B challenge Preparing for his third Mullum to Bruns, 20 year old Blayne Arnold agrees with many that the hill on Mulumbimby Road is the hard part and says that the easiest part was crossing the finish line, ‘It just requires a bit of work to get there,’ says Blayne. Blayne says his race strategy is to have fun and enjoy the run and suggests that entrants keep training simple and just go out and run a few times a week. Blayne ran 35.56 in 2009, a fraction slower than the inaugural run, but hopes to improve on that this time around. Blayne Arnold.

field with a hammy strain. Being the quality side that they are, the Ghosts were soon able to exploit their advantage out wide to run in a try next to

the uprights and go 6-4 up. The next passage of play was alarming in the extreme, as the Blue and Whites shredded the Bay’s defence with swift and clinical combinations. The signs were ominous, but time and again the Devils staved off disaster. With weight of possession and penalties, the Ghosts skipped away to 14-4 at the break and a blow-out was at the back of eveyone’s mind. Instead, the Devils engaged the visitors in thirty minutes of fearless, bone-jarring footy – to a man they refused to let the premiership favourites put it over them. The Ghosts’ pushed the offside rule to the limit, but still the Lilliputian ref gave the Bay no respite. It was all too much for Deep Throat – ‘if they’re back ten metres then you’re six foot two, sir!’ It was a fair call. Byron finally got a penalty for a Grafton pass off the ground which, not surprising-

home and catch up with the family in Goonellabah. Blayne got his early bird entry in online – early birds have until midnight on Sunday August 8 – after that date, regular entry fees will apply. Runners’ entries close at 8 am and walkers’ entries close at 8.15 am on event day, at the respective registration venues. The event is set to be yet again a great day with the Rainbow Region Dragon Boat Club, which includes members of the Rainbow Dragons Abreast, paddling the Mullum to Bruns along the river. For more information about the M2B event, visit the website: www.mullumtobruns.org.au.

at the Queensland State Little Athletics Championships held in Townsville. Marlie, who currently holds the title of Byron Shire Junior Sports Person of the Year for 2010, is setting the bar high for herself. In October last year, she placed fourth in the 800m final at the NSW Track and Field Championships held at Olympic Park. and in April she won a Silver medal for her 800m run and a Bronze medal for her 1500m run at the Queensland State Little Athletics Championships The level of commitment required of these talented girls though, is extraordinary. Parents Jannine and Paul will be selling raffle tickets in an effort to raise the funds needed to get Marlie to nationals.Anyone interested in buy a ticket can contact the Bangalow school.

BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY

BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY – BYRON BAY Painted Earth is a young growing business – a paint shop selling Australia’s largest range of sustainable paints and wood finishes. Established seven years ago as a home based business, it moved to retail premises in the Arts & Industry Park of Byron Bay in June 2008. The business has a good reputation, a strong stable product and knowledge base and valuable strategic relationships, and is now poised ready to expand sales both locally and Australia wide in the rapidly growing LOHAS market. The owner, Deborah Preston, is seeking a business partner to both invest and work in the business with her, to take it into this next stage. The person must have solid business experience, sales and marketing expertise, and good communication skills. They must be ready to participate in a conscious, forward thinking business, able to adapt to our uncertain times, have high integrity, attention to detail and an enthusiasm for the green building and renovating industry. An understanding of paints and wood finishes and training in Greenstar accreditation or other relevant sustainability consultancy would be advantageous. Investment capital of $100,000 is required to buy a half share in Painted Earth. Contact: deb@house-paint.com.au

Local builders dominate regional awards Local builders Byron Design and Construction and Build Better have scored well at the Master Builders Association Regional Awards night held recently at Ballina. Byron Bay has cemented its place as a leader in sustainable building design and construction, taking out the Best Sustainable Energy Project award at the Master Builders Association regional awards. Local building company, Build Better (now Cavalier Homes Northern Rivers) won the award for a home at Bayshore Drive that showcases some of the latest innovations in eco-efficient design and construction. The home

was also named Best Contract Home ($450,000 to $500,000). Key sustainability features of each Byron Bay home include building conditioning instead of air conditioning, timber that carries Chain of Custody certification, and an innovative roofing system with built-in insulation. Build Better, run by local builder Steve Dyer, said he was rapt to win the award and be recognised by his peers. ‘It’s great that industry associations are rewarding eco-efficient design and construction - and that customers are now expecting it,’ Mr Dyer said.

struction won in three major award categories. Proprietor Rory O’Halloran was delighted and honoured to receive awards for Best Renovation/Additions $300,000 to $500,000, Best Renovation/ Additions Over $500,000, and Best Use of Timber. ‘It is a reflection of the high standard of the local tradespeople that we are fortunate to work with and the trust invested in us by our valued clients,’ Rory said. ‘Renovations and additions are becoming an increasingly viable alternative to the construction of new residences in Byron Shire, especially in these tight economic times. We look forward to continuing to provide a professional design and construction service to our clients.’

Kinky business? No, it’s Veronika Kwake (blindfolded) of the Australian Electoral Commission, assisted by Lorraine Walker, drawing the ballot paper order of candidates for the seat of Richmond. See more in our election report on page 6. Photo Luis Felui

FXW FRORXU VSHFLDOLVWV EDQJDORZ KDLUGUHVVLQJ E\URQ VW EDQJDORZ

Highlights of the federal election campaign last Wednesday included Julie Bishop outstaring Gerald the Gnome on Yes We Canberra and the advertising pundits’ insights into campaign strategies on Gruen Nation, both on ABC TV. Meanwhile, somewhere in the bowels of Labor, a leaker is intent on destroying his own party. Go figure. Q Q Q Q

Among the Richmond candidates – see roundup page 6 – is free range poultry farmer David Robinson, who is running for the Democrats. He is probably the first Richmond candidate ever to have a Facebook site devoted to chickens – see www.facebook.com/poultry. Q Q Q Q

Older folk are a force to be reckoned with in the Australian voter profile. Of the 14 million people enrolled, 1.9 million are 70 or older, and people over 50 make up about 46.4 per cent of the voters. By contrast 18 and 19 year old voters total 395,410 or around 2.8 per cent. Q Q Q Q

A leaflet circulating in Mullum claims there is a retirement facility to be built off Ann Street. Probably to be taken with a grain of salt – according to Council, there is no proposal in the works at present. Q Q Q Q
