On Monday February 8 at 9:30am the Land and Environment Court heard evidence from concerned residents against the development application (DA) for the first 31 lots of the pro-posed 240 lot Tallowood Estate subdi-vision in Mullumbimby. The DA was submitted by developers Sarah and Eric Freeman (Bayview Land Devel-opment) and refused by Byron Shire Council. The L&E Court hearing be-gan at the end of Tuckeroo Avenue, Mullumbimby, near the proposed site, and was to later continue at the Byron Bay courthouse.

Commissioner Robert Hussey opened Court proceedings and in-troduced Adam Seton, solicitor from Marsdens acting for Byron Shire Council; Peter Thomas Eddie, Bar-rister for the applicant Bayview Land Development; the applicant’s town planner Steve Connolly; environmen-tal consultant Peter Parker; and advi-

sors from Byron Shire Council, Joe Davidson (Development Planner), Emma Holt (Environmental Officer) and Mark Robinson (Ecologist).

Before evidence was heard from individual residents with concerns about the DA, Commissioner Hussey requested clarity on the documents that were to be referred to during court proceedings, such as the plans of the land parcel and proposed de-velopment. Mr Eddie led the court through a summary of the DA for Stage 1 and briefly touched on the concept proposal indicating the di-rection of future stages of the devel-opment.

Mr Eddie and Mr Seton couldn’t agree on the significance of the con-cept proposal. Deborah Lilly from Mullumbimby Community Action Network asked Mr Eddie whether the concept plan was another name for a master plan. Mr Eddie told the Court that the concept plan replaces the re-quirement for a master plan under

state legislation, but when asked by another resident if it was in fact bind-ing, he said it was not, to which Mr Seton argued that it in fact was bind-ing. A matter which will be argued further in court.

Mr Eddie said, ‘We don’t have to define how many stages we are plan-ning. The development will progress organically in a westerly direction. Currently we are seeking devel-opment consent for Stage 1 and in conceptual form we are submitting a guide to further proposed stages of development.’

Some residents were concerned by the lack of a master plan, with Mr Eddie responding, ‘Under the State Environmental Planning Policy the Minister has exempted the need for a master plan for this development as it was not deemed a major develop-ment. This is not a big plan.’

To which one resident replied that ‘it’s big to us.’

Main Arm plans up before CouncilThis Thursday Council will consider the first of three development applica-tions currently active for residential subdivisions at Main Arm. The Main Arm Residents Association (MARA) comments:

‘Councillors approved proposals to rezone these lands in Main Arm back in 2007. They were assured of compli-ance with the award winning Byron Rural Settlement Strategy (BRSS). The developers offered a community park and amenities, an environmental edu-cation facility and a way of upgrading the deadly single-lane causeway lead-ing into the village of Main Arm.

‘There was to be a state-of-the-art centralised wastewater system that would serve the new dwellings and resolve the Village’s historical sew-age problems as well. The proposed commercial precinct would be just a quaint strip of potters and artisans studios. Sensibly, Councillors assessed those rezoning applications together as one. This is unfortunately not the case for this, the DA stage.

Impact ignored

‘The Council staff report on the Davis DA recommends approval of 21 houses each with its own indi-vidual wastewater system. There is no consideration of the impact that the final 54 houses plus a commercial zone will have on Main Arm (taking into account the two other DAs), or of the impact that their 54 individual wastewater systems will have on the Brunswick River and Blindmouth Creek, on flooding, erosion and or on stormwater flows. Similarly with the traffic increase, estimated at 20% in this report, but closer to 50% by the time all the building is over.

‘This DA does not produce the goods promised at rezoning. The community park had to go, so did the educational institute and other amenities. And why isn’t the devel-oper being asked to cover the cost

of upgrading the causeway out of his own pocket? Council staff rec-ommend that Davis do the upgrade using his Section 94 contributions. These should go to defined shirewide facilities, to the whole community’s benefit rather than being localised to facilitate the development itself.

This week’s report to Council highlights to just what degree Coun-cil planners are prepared to believe whatever is said by the developer’s consultants. Davis doesn’t use the consultants who made all the origi-nal promises. A key consultant now is Sydney-based Martens who repre-sented Woolworths in their successful Land & Environment Court quash of Council and have thus brought Mul-lumbimby its “sewer on a bog”.

Smaller buffers

‘For example, Martens is claiming buffers to permanent waterways are as effective at ten to 15 metres as they are at the standard 100m required of the rest of us, and staff is agree-ing with him. Another consultant Josh Davis wrote the report on soil contamination (Historical Landuse Study). At the same time a parallel report commissioned by MARA from Black Earth Services has been com-pletely ignored.

‘Council planners’ reliance for criti-cal information on reports produced by the developer’s consultants and their ignoring professional assessments offered in submissions on the DA is indicative of poor planning on their part. Just how much development can Main Arm realistically sustain before the environment is harmed and the amenity of Main Arm is destroyed?

‘The community is not opposed to a reasonable level of development that genuinely complies with Coun-cil strategies and guidelines and is in tune with the character of Main Arm village and its surroundings.’■ Letters, page 12continued on page 7

Thousands of Australians have seen a good thing go sour when they signed up for a new green opportunity in the workplace.

Last year the Rudd govern-ment introduced the Green Loans Scheme to reduce ener-gy use and the resulting carbon footprint of Australian homes and at the same time to cre-ate green jobs. To be eligible for the loan, the householder would need a Home Sustaina-bility Assessment which would analyse the home’s energy use and suggest steps to improve the home’s consumption.

For this Green Loans pro-gram Home Sustainability Assessors (HSA), were being trained to assess the planned 360,000 homes in the given timeframe of around 2-3 years. This is where things went pear-shaped. By October last year about 1,500 had been trained, probably enough to complete the job but instead of putting an immediate stop to the train-ing intake, the Department of Environment, Water, Heritage and Arts (DEWHA) and the assessor accrediting organisa-tion, the Association of Build-ing Sustainability Assessors (ABSA), decided to close all future training by December 24, 2009, enough time for any-one who was remotely quali-fied to train assessors to offer last-minute courses.

With training, insurance, registration and other costs, each assessor shelled out close to $3,500 and by Christmas there were about 10,000 asses-sors in the pipeline.

The original 1,500 assessors might have hoped to gain up to two years’ work from the program, a figure that now averages out to a few weeks. Add to this the fact that there are larger product-based com-panies who are grabbing bulk

quantities of the assessment bookings, and what was a new hope for many has become a financial loss – not only for the first 1,500 but for the remain-der, some of whom are still yet to complete their training.

A group of local HsA braved the weekend’s extreme weath-er conditions to try to salvage what they could from the after-math and to look at options for further employment,

Juergen Klein was one of the original intake of assessors who has been left out of pocket because of the scheme.

‘Like many other unfortu-nate locals, I trained for this new profession,’ says Juergen. ‘I spent upwards of $3,000 on course fees, insurance, required registration fee with ABSA and some equipment to perform the assessments. Personally I have not recovered my costs yet. As it looks now, all these promising “new careers” will come to an abrupt halt in the very near future, adding 10,000 newly unemployed Home Sus-tainability Assessors to the Centrelink queue.

Colin George is an HSA and a trainer of some of the local assessors.

‘The meeting today was a great step toward looking at future options,’ said Colin af-ter Sunday’s meeting. ‘This is an example of a beneficial and positive initiative that has been mismanaged by the environ-ment department.

‘It is clear that DEWHA has not done forward planning for the Green Loans Scheme. There has not been a 360 de-gree thought process. It was a simple case of no-one wanting to crunch the numbers.

‘This may damage election

chances in Labor’s marginal seats and unless immediate action is taken to place more money into the scheme as well as regulating using a quota sys-tem, there may be up to 10,000 people out of work. The sad thing is that it was all so easily avoidable.’

‘The frustration of every-body involved is increasing every day,’ says Juergen. ‘For some people this means a real hardship since being assessor was to be their only means to make a living. We had been promised a career for at least two years. Mine hasn’t lasted one month.’

Byron Shire Council is search-ing for new streets to join the Sustainable Streets program.

The Sustainable Street pro-gram is a Byron and Tweed Shire Council joint initiative which encourages residents in the same locality to come to-gether and identify practical ways to reduce their environ-mental footprint.

Byron Shire Sustainability Officer Graeme Williams said the program offers residents practical ways to restore local biodiversity, improve house-hold water and energy efficien-cy, as well as organic gardening and ethical shopping work-shops. ‘Other benefits include the social aspect of getting to know your neighbour which is often lost in our busy day-to-day lives.’

Byron Shire currently has two streets in Mullumbimby, New City Road and Stuart Street. already participating in the program.

Program officer Nina Bishop said feedback from streets cur-rently involved in the program has included real estate agents using the Sustainable Streets program as a positive benefit

for house listings. ‘It’s also a great program that encourages neighbours to swap produce over the back fence and share knowledge and skills for a cleaner environment,’ she said.

The program consists of regular neighbourhood gather-ings and sustainability educa-tion workshops on topics rang-ing from local food production

and biodiversity to energy ef-ficiency and green cleaning. A series of informative fact sheets, eco-living challenges and some great prizes will be available to assist participating residents in their journey to-wards sustainability.

Applications close on Mon-day March 1 and can be down-loaded from Byron Shire Coun-

cil’s website at www.byron.nsw.gov.au/sustainable-streets. For more information call Nina Bishop on 6684 1263.

The Sustainable Streets pro-gram is funded by the Tweed-Byron Urban Bush Futures grant, a local government part-nership under the NSW Gov-ernment Urban Sustainability Program.

The Environmental Defenders Office (EDO) Northern Riv-ers office is embarking on a climate law roadshow up the north coast in early February to discuss the legal options for the world and Australia after Copenhagen.

For instance, EDO Education Officer Mark Byrne explains that the Copenhagen Accord creates a conundrum for the Rudd governmen’s proposed Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme legislation, which is due to go before parliament for the third time in February.

‘For all its faults, the Copen-

hagen Accord did see major polluters agree to hold the in-crease in global temperature below two degrees Celsius,’ explains Mark. ‘If they follow through, this would be a major achievement.

‘The Australian govern-ment’s unconditional target is for a five per cent reduction in emissions by 2020 relative to the 1990 level. However, to meet our commitment under the Accord, Australia would probably need to cut emis-sions by at least 25 per cent by 2020.’

This is just one of the issues to

be discussed at the EDO semi-nars, which will feature EDO policy officer Robert Ghanem, who was in Copenhagen for the summit and will also speak on the prospects now for a binding global agreement.

Mark Byrne will discuss the implications of the Copenha-gen outcome for Australia’s proposed CPRS, and the al-ternatives put forward by the Coalition and the Greens.

EDO Senior Solicitor Sue Higginson will also discuss recent and current court cases involving attempts to limit carbon emissions and the

successes and failures in the courts of climate change pro-test actions.

The seminars will be held at Ballina on Wednesday Feb-ruary 10, Richmond Room, Regatta Ave, 5.45pm for 6pm, and at Murwillumbah on Thursday February 11, CWA Hall, 20 Queen St, 5.45pm for 6 pm sharp.

Light refreshments provided. No booking necessary.

EDO says: ‘Please note that the science supporting an-thropogenic climate change will not be discussed at these seminars.’

Byron Region Community College as usual has a vast range of courses on offer in its new term and lessons in sus-tainability rate highly among them:

‘Have you got the post Co-penhagen blues?’ asks the col-lege. ‘Do you want to lower your carbon footprint and cut down on emissions? By-ron College has a great range of new courses on sustainable living at very reasonable prices. Many of them are half day and one day workshops and they start on February 18.

‘Do you want grow backyard food? Enrol in Introduction to Permaculture or Introduc-tion to Biodynamics, Growing and Using Perennial Vegeta-bles, Growing Vegies & Fruit in the Subtropics, Straw Bale Gardening or Backyard Food – Challenges and Successes in our Climate. You can also find out about Chooks in your Backyard or join the three dif-ferent day tours of sustainable houses, gardens and intention-al communities.

‘Do you want to save water and put in some tanks but don’t know where to start? Try Water for Life or the Water Discovery Bus tour. Thinking of renovat-ing? Try the ever popular En-ergy Efficient House Design or the new Green Painters – using natural paints course. Get up to speed on solar systems with the new Solar Works course. Or you could take a new approach to Bush Regeneration or learn about Waste Minimisation.’

Keeping chooksIf you have been thinking

about getting chooks and want to know about their needs, what’s involved, different breeds and how many to get the course on Saturday Febru-ary 20, 10am-3pm in Mullum is for you.

Chooks in Your Backyard is being run by local tutor and chook-person, Gayle Russell. Chooks have been part of Gay-le’s life now for close to thirty years and along the way she has learnt a lot about manag-ing chooks successfully. To top

it off she completed a Diploma in Permaculture in 1993.

Ethics of Everyday‘A short course on ethics will

shine a light on some of our trickiest dilemmas,’ says this course tutor.

‘Was Tony Blair “right” to in-vade Iraq as he so passionately insists? Is the French govern-ment being ethical in its plan to ban the burqa in public service departments? Did those navy crew members act morally when they kicked the asylum seekers away from that rescue boat, in order to save their col-leagues first?

‘This is just a small sample of the many questions flow-ing from the news that fills our

papers everyday. They outrage and entertain us, but they can also provide fascinating fod-der for discussions about the roots of the ethical systems that underpin the decisions and the judgements we all have to make on a daily basis.

‘The study of what is “good” and “right” and what we “ought” to do, goes back to the ancient Greeks… but there are also compelling new develop-ments in ethics. Peter Singer, for example, has helped us to see the ethical importance of a huge range of issues both per-sonal and international. Oth-ers meanwhile are exploring the connection between biol-ogy, mathematics and ethics in what’s called “Cybernetic

Ethics”. This theory talks about how “informational feedback” can help in the resolution of se-rious ethical problems, in other words, how past experiences “feedback” into present situ-ations to inform and redirect our behaviours.’

Ethical issues at the heart of current news stories are some of those to be explored in a new course starting on 17 February 17. The course is called ‘Phi-losophy for Living: Ethics of Everyday’, and includes read-ings from Socrates to Singer.

Students at a Byron College Sustainable Agriculture workshop constructing a compost heap.

Mullumbimby Community Garden coordinator Jeannette Martin has won a $10,000 British Council Big Green Idea funding initiative for a biochar project.

The project, near the Bruns-wick Valley Historical Museum, will feature an onsite integrated green waste management fa-cility utilising a biochar kiln and organic compost, which she sees as a powerful tool for educating the community on the importance of soil manage-ment as part of the solution to climate change.

Jeannette plans to engage a group of young people to build the biochar kiln and manage a composting program that utilises food waste from local restaurants and garden waste from local households and the community garden.

An outreach program of quarterly workshops will build knowledge and skills surround-ing the practical applications of biochar and compost, and consolidate this with the envi-ronmental benefits of growing organic food.

From a total pool of 87 appli-

cants from around Australia, the five winners took part in a rigorous selection process with the British Council.

Offered for the first time in 2009, the Big Green Idea ini-tiative called for applications from eco-entrepreneurs with savvy ideas addressing sustain-ability challenges faced by ur-ban communities.

Funding will be offered again in 2010.

Heavy downpours on Saturday night led to the closure of sev-eral roads across Byron Shire and to the rescue of a pregnant women by local SES officers. Both Mullumbimby and Byron Bay received totals exceeding 200mm over the night.

A mother-to-be was stranded at Upper Wilsons Creek by the flooding. When the SES was

alerted, they sought the assist-ance of the Rural Fire Service and its 4WD truck.

In the truck, fire officers were able to negotiate the flooded causeways, pick up the woman, and later transfer her to a wait-ing ambulance.

In related rescue news, the Northern Region Westpac Life Saver Rescue Helicopter just

flew 44 missions in January – the busiest January ever, and the second busiest month on record. The only busier month recorded was May 1988 when the region was hit by two floods.

Those 44 missions were made up of 26 ‘Primary’ mis-sions, 16 ‘Secondary’ missions (inter-hospital transfers) and

two ‘SAR’ (search and rescue) missions. In addition to the 44 missions flown, an additional ten flights were conducted for pilot, crew and medical staff training.

At an average cost of $5,000 per mission, it cost about $220,000 to do the 44 January missions. See more at www.helirescue.com.au.

From front pageMr Eddie concluded, ‘We

don’t need to provide a master plan if developing in stages, but any future stages must be con-sistent with the concept plan.’

The Echo went to press as residents began giving their evidence. There were to be about 16 residents to present to the Court.

Some residents giving evi-dence such as Brendan Healey, president of the Mullumbimby Creek Progress Association, and Pat Skene, Coral Avenue resident, have been concerned and vocal about development on the land parcel since 1997 at least.

Mr Healey told The Echo, ‘I will be giving a historical per-spective on the development, reminding the Court that this has been a long-term concern for residents.

‘We are hugely concerned by the lack of a master plan,

and the absence of community consultation.

‘We are hoping that through our evidence being heard the Freemans will be asked to comply to some of communi-ty’s processes and Byron Shire Council’s adaptations, because at the moment they are trying to gazump the lot.’

Bush regenerator Dave Rawlins, said, ‘I will be giv-ing evidence on the ecological significance of this area. Land-care has been working for years on several projects to create a wildlife corridor through here. I am asking that there is at the very least a plan for conserv-ing the ecological value of this land, not this ad hoc, piece by piece proposal.’

Council refused the DA for the intial stage on various grounds on November 12 last year. The developers had gone to court earlier under ‘deemed refusal’ provisions.

A Southern Cross University researcher is investigating a new theory linking cleft lip and palate disorders with nu-tritional deficiencies caused by stress shortly before or during the early stages of pregnancy.

Nutritionist and PhD can-didate Graeme Wallace, pic-tured, first saw the correlation between stress suffered dur-ing early pregnancy and cleft lip and palate disorders while working in the Philippines – a country with one of the highest incidences of the disorder.

Mr Wallace would like to hear from any women living in the Byron Bay area who may be carrying a baby that has been diagnosed with the condition, but also mums who are carry-ing a baby who does not have the condition.

‘Initially this research proj-ect aimed to consider the pos-sibility of other causal factors of these disorders, such as alco-

hol and drug use, or a mother’s smoking habits if any, and nutritional supplementation taken prior to and during the pregnancy,’ Mr Wallace said.

‘However, even at an ear-ly stage in the study, stress seemed to be a possible issue of relevance and this led to us considering other work that

had already been done linking clefting to stress.’

Mr Wallace found, for in-stance, that studies in both Czechoslovakia and Iraq had found a strong correlation be-tween cleft lip and palate dis-orders and the stress levels of pregnant women.

Cobbers Child Care Centre owner operators Tim and Shar-on Wearne have brought learn-ing about the environment and resource conservation one step earlier in childhood develop-ment. The centre has installed water saving push button and lever taps at all the sinks used by the children and has also recently installed water saving toilet cisterns and two rain wa-ter tanks.

Tim, who is a qualified early childhood teacher, provides an extensive preschool program – his specialty is teaching children the skills that they need in readi-ness for school and saving water is another of Tim’s lessons. ‘In July 2009 we received approval to increase the number of places available for children from 28 to 36 each day,’ says Tim. ‘To gain this approval we created a second playground with a sand-pit and grassed area. We also installed the special taps and other water saving devices.’

Tim says that another func-tion of the push button and

lever taps is that the children do not have to touch the taps again to turn them off once they have washed their hands.

This helps to reduce the spread of germs.

‘The children love to fill up their watering cans from the

rainwater tank and then water the vegetable and herb gardens. They also use the water for play in the sandpit.’

Comment

To call Tony Abbott’s long-awaited policy on climate change an anti-

climax is to heap it with unde-served praise.

Indeed, to call it a policy at all is overstate the reality: it is closer to something you might find scrawled on the back of a beer mat after a long night on the turps.

Kevin Rudd dismissed it as a con job, but even on that level it’s a pretty sloppy piece of work; a decent con requires at least some attention to detail to make it credible. My favourite description to date came from the Sydney Morning Herald’s Peter Hartcher, who suggested that it was a fig leaf – a little bit of greenery to hide the horrible nakedness of the coalition over the whole issue. Or of course, we could always fall back on Abbott’s own robust phraseol-ogy: it’s absolute crap.

The mere fact that the scheme has been welcomed by the heavy polluters is surely enough to establish its ineffec-tiveness. For them, as Abbott boasts, it will be business as usual. With no cap proposed for Australia’s carbon emis-sions, there will be nothing to stop them continuing and even expanding their operations in-definitely.

Indeed, they would be en-couraged to do so: if an elec-tricity generator, for example, wanted to build a new plant, one that would double its over-all emissions, that would be fine as long as the new plant was not any dirtier than the ones the company was already operating. And if it turned out to be mildly cleaner, thereby bringing down the average in-tensity of the company’s emis-sions, there would be a reward for building it.

This is the centrepiece of Ab-bott’s reduction strategy: the actual volume of emissions

doesn’t matter, but any indi-vidual polluter who can show a sign of improvement will re-ceive an elephant stamp, a re-maindered copy of Battlelines and some unspecified financial incentive. Just what this will be is to be determined through consultations with the polluters concerned, as will any penalty imposed for an increase in the intensity of emissions. Given the improvements to technol-

ogy at all levels, the need for this stick is highly unlikely. On the other hand, the chances of Abbott’s carrot leading to the reduction of five percent by 2020 to which he is committed – or any reduction at all – are also pretty slender.

But wait, there’s more. Farm-ers will be encouraged to bury carbon in their soil, although there is no proven way of measuring how much carbon they bury, let alone the logistics of how to bury it. And we will plant trees, say 20 million of them. We don’t know where or when, but we will plant trees; everyone agrees that this is an unambiguously good thing to do, as long as we don’t plant them where farmers don’t want them. And we will put solar cells on peoples’ roofs, ignor-ing the fact that this has been shown to be the least cost-ef-fective way of reducing emis-sions of all of them.

This will all cost about $11.7 billion and we don’t know where the money’s coming from but hey, we could cut for-

eign aid, or sack a few public servants or something. Well actually we won’t do either of those whatever Barnaby Joyce says. Anyway, we’ll tell you when we’ve worked it out. Now isn’t Direct Action simpler and more effective than an Emis-sions Trading Scheme?

Well no, actually; accord-ing to every economic model produced, not just in Australia but around the world, the only

way to get serious about reduc-ing carbon emissions is to put a price on carbon; even the Greens now accept this. There is still debate about whether a straightforward tax is superior to a market based cap-and-trade system but the need for some kind of pricing mecha-nism is as unarguable as the fact of climate change itself.

But then, Abbott is not too certain about that, either; on the first day of parliament he reversed his previous stance by attending a function hosted by Gibbering Lord Monckton. Kevin Rudd claimed that Ab-bott had changed his stance on climate change more times than he had changed his un-dies, which is probably unfair; as a cyclist, Abbott has always been meticulous about the condition of his jock strap. But it is certainly true that his cli-mate change policy is not that of a politician who is provid-ing a considered response to a genuine problem.

Within 48 hours the govern-ment had produced an opinion

from the Department of Cli-mate Change that the Abbott plan would actually increase emissions by some 13 per cent by 2020. Abbott demanded to see the modelling and insisted that his own experts were bet-ter; he added, rather alarming-ly, that his policy was based on the reduction plan pioneered by the New South Wales Labor government, hardly the most admired of role models.

But the fact is that the policy is so vague and incomplete that it is impossible to evaluate properly. All that can sensibly be said is that the underlying concept has been universally dismissed as expensive and in-adequate, and for that reason has never really been tried. There is still a chance that it might work; but then, there is still a chance that pigs might fly.

Still, even Abbott’s severest critics have to admit that there has been one useful spinoff al-ready: Kevin Rudd has started to speak clearly about his own plan. His ETS has now been reduced from several pages of jargon and waffle to a simple grab: We put a cap on emis-sions; the polluters pay; and households get compensated for any price rises. Abbott’s pol-icy does none of the above. End of story. Actually, of course, it’s rather more complicated and less ideal than that, but at least Rudd is now making it sound comprehensible.

He is not, however, making it acceptable to his opponents in the senate. So what happens next? Rudd says that doing nothing is not an acceptable response to the great moral, economic and political chal-lenge, but, as Abbott says, the government appears to have no Plan B. Penny Wong’s dis-cussions with the Greens have suddenly taken on real political significance. Watch this space.

The Byron Shire Echo Established 1986

The other day news and comment website Crikey.com.au took the michael out of Rupert Murdoch’s comment: ‘Ex-cuse the immodesty, the News Corporation’s pre-eminence as a content creator comes as the debate over the primacy of content is over. Content is not just king, it is the emperor of all things electronic.’

Crikey then showed a range of Rupert’s broadsheet front covers which failed to offer any meaningful content at all – beyond ‘”Rape” Girl’s Psychotic Horrors’ and ‘Carey Is Breast Actress’.

And the other night ABC1 ran a documentary, Inside The Great Magazines, demonstrating the increasingly vacuous nature of the glossies, as the latest handbag of a celeb-rity becomes major news. One of the paparazzi shooting Helena Bonnet-Drama at the time had the honesty to point out the skewed values inherent in the rewards for photog-raphers: $500 for a pic at a warfront compared to $10,000 for a good celebrity image.

Are the major players dumbing themselves out of an increasingly changing market? Or are there enough people older than Gen Y who want to cling to paper media and paper-thin personalities? Or is journalist Henry Mencken’s maxim – ‘No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the [American] public’ – still as true today?

Murdoch’s comment comes after the launch of Apple’s unfortunately-named iPad (‘does it come with wings?’ is the standard question), yet another device to suck down content from the internet. But Murdoch is not just behind the modern times in his understanding of ‘content’: he must have missed Marshall McLuhan’s 1964 pronounce-ment, ‘The medium is the message.’ The way the medium engages the viewer/reader has a profound effect on how the content is perceived, and cyberspace is where you are TV watcher, content reader and participant all in one.

It is the generations weaned on the internet who are breaking all the rules of mainstream brand loyalty – surfing, picking and choosing randomly, like totally. While the old media like cover-price newspapers and free-to-air TV are in a spin over the randomness, search engines like Google are building the cyberspace tools to deal with it.

Of course Murdoch and his peers want to make a buck from the new electronic market but his pay-for-content plans may come adrift as news agencies do deals with oth-er online providers. The future for small regional newspa-pers seems a little more ‘normal’, though one day you might be downloading an Echo onto your e-tablet of choice.

What will remain true is that uncovering the facts among the content spin will be as difficult as ever, and participants will have to continue to avoid fulfilling that other maxim attributed erroneously to showman P T Barnum: ‘There’s a sucker born every minute.’

Farewell Kevin KirkOn behalf of the Bundjalung of Byron Bay Aboriginal Corpo-ration we wish to express our sincere thanks to all the rescue team, police and public for the support in trying to locate our dear relative Mr Kevin Kirk who through the love of dog walking went missing in the month of January.

Kevin Kirk was the father to Douglas Kirk, brother to the Arakwal family in Byron Bay and will be dearly missed. Kevin was a strong-minded man who kept to himself a lot, but had the love of walk-ing dogs through any weather. A memorial will take place in Brunswick Heads this week for family and friends before he is taken to Melbourne to be laid to rest with his wife Nancy Kay.

Thank you all.Yvonne Stewart

Mapping weedsPeople in the Shire may not be aware that the Far North Coast County Council trading as Far North Coast Weeds (FNCW) are currently ‘mapping’ this shire for noxious weeds. I dis-covered this while walking my dog down our lane where I came across a huge truck with lots of spraying equipment on board.

There are plenty of issues to discuss about spraying weeds, and the classification of cam-phor as ‘noxious’, but I want-ed to let organic farmers and chemically-sensitive residents know that they urgently need to get themselves onto the FNCW ‘Sensitive Register’ if you want to be notified prior to spraying.

If you want to know about FNCW notification obliga-tions about spraying you can

download their Pesticide Use Notification Plan from www.fncw.nsw.gov.au.

Anyone interested in the toxic effects of glyphosate herbicides should have a look at the latest publication from the Pesticides Action Network which compiles all the latest scientific studies on the health and environmental impacts of this herbicide about to sprayed all over the shire – see www.panap.net.

Community focusCr Tucker’s claim that the rec-ommendations of the Commu-nity Consultation Focus Group (CCFG) were ‘by and large...successfully taken up by Coun-cil’ at the December 17 meeting last year (Saturday Star, Janu-ary 10) is possibly the best spin I have heard since I became a Councillor. Readers may recall that the CCFG was established by Council with representa-tion from community groups across the shire and given the task of designing a community consultation strategy for when the draft Local Environment Plan (LEP) eventually goes on exhibition.

The recommendations of the CCFG are set out in the Community Consultation Strategy as developed over a period of six months with as-sistance from an independent facilitator and Council staff. Cr Tucker would have you be-lieve that his successful motion adopted these recommenda-tions. Not so. The wording of Cr Tucker’s amendment was so heavily qualified as to make it a meaningless statement. The qualification is ‘that Council adopt in principle, the intent of the strategy’. As the intention of the strategy was to consult

the community, the resolution is reduced to an ‘in principle’ statement that Council will consult the community. This is a long way short of adopting the detailed strategy set out by the CCFG.

Why is this important? The current LEP adopted in 1988 is Council’s paramount plan-ning document and sets out the land use zones and rules for how development occurs in the shire. Clearly then, the draft LEP once adopted will have a major influence on the future character of the shire over many years, if not de-cades. Unless there is quality consultation about the draft LEP, it is unlikely that residents will be able to make meaning-ful submissions with the result that patterns of future develop-ment may be locked in that do not fit with the community’s

expectations as to what consti-tutes appropriate or sustainable development.

I appreciate that Councillors were possibly not at their peak having debated this item nine hours after the meeting start-ed. However I am hopeful that with the benefit of the summer break, they will stand up for real community consultation and vote for my Notice of Mo-tion to adopt the Strategy at this week’s meeting.

Kitesurfing dangers at a busy beachWarning signs need to be placed now at Byron Bay’s Main Beach. ‘BEWARE! Your child’s life is in danger on this beach.’ Another child’s life was seriously endangered last week at Main Beach. This 9 year old child was not surfing, he was walking in kneedeep water with his father.

I was in shock when I saw my friend’s child with a scar across his throat. This time the acci-dent was caused by an experi-enced kitesurfer (kiteboarder) who sailed up behind them in the calm, shallow water. An unexpected gust of wind blew the sail out of control, and it flew over the child with the powerful cable slashing across his neck.

Fortunately, his father was able to grab the rigging before it cut through the child’s throat.

I feel strongly that, if the father had not been with his child, this boy would have been killed by the sail’s 500 kilo breaking strain rigging.

Two years ago I wrote a se-ries of letters forewarning about the serious danger of allowing kiteboarding at Byron’s highly populated Main Beach. I am shocked that kiteboarders are still allowed to surf at this fam-ily beach. Why does the Byron Shire Council allow these kite-boarders to sail in this bay, ei-ther at Main Beach or The Pass, which is overpopulated with surfers, children playing in the calm waters and people walking everywhere next to the water?

Both children and adults are in danger from these sailing ve-hicles. Just tune into YouTube ‘kiteboarder beach accidents’ and you can see for yourself.

Council’s normal excuse is that they have no jurisdiction over the waters. My answer to Council is that, if you have the authority to ban dogs from walking on the beach, then you also have the authority to ban kiteboarders from walk-ing across the beach to get to the water.

Also, I ask this kiteboarder, why were you sailing in this populated bay? A State mari-time law states that a kiteboard-er is not allowed to sail within 60 metres of any other person, including other surfers. There is a reason for this law, and you experienced it last week. Is this

why you gave the child $100 for the damage to his neck? What would you have given for his death? The resulting lawsuit would answer that. There are so many isolated beaches in the Byron Shire. Why would you sail among the people and endanger their lives?

The pristine waters of Byron Bay is an attractive playground for families, but does anyone care about their personal safe-ty? Does anyone care about the welfare of a child? I asked this question two years ago – the answer is quite obvious.

that doesn’t look to me to be accidental when you consider the consistent Greens-bashing of this newspaper over the last year.

Said article was headed ‘By-ron loses fight over sea-front

homes’ and went on to state that the Land & Environment Court had found in favour of John Vaughan and had issued a judgement which made various orders against Council. This is crap. There was no judgement and there were no findings, for

the simple reason that the par-ties elected to settle the matter rather than proceed to a court ruling.

What happens in such cases is that the parties draw up an agreement, which the judge then ratifies with a set of ‘or-

ders’. The Australian perhaps didn’t attend the hearing and made wrong assumptions based on the orders. A chari-table interpretation.

Mr Vaughan didn’t ‘win’ the case at law or on a matter of principle and when a case is settled in this way the legal is-sues remain unresolved. Ac-cordingly any suggestion that the Vaughan case sets a legal precedent is nonsense. Seems to me that Byron United in their historical glee over the outcome are playing with themselves.

Fair enough to suggest that the Greens ‘backed down’, maybe. But then there has been a significant change in the circumstances since the case was filed: the state government has signalled its intention to change the rules re the rights of beachfront landowners. With that in mind I addressed the Council in public access late last year and suggested that they discontinue the case as pointless. Whether it was the Greens that made the offer to settle, or Council’s insurers buckling under the pressure I don’t know, but either way it’s a victory for common sense.

Byron United has suggest-ed that somehow this com-mon sense is grounds for the Council to be sacked by the state government! If anything shows them to be wankers it is the idea that a desperate La-bor government would alienate Greens preferences in this way. This is the stuff of fantasy.

Now the Australian newspa-per has given the Greens a con-sistent pasting over this issue and Jan Barham has come out looking quite pathetic. Seems to me she desperately needs the services of a full time press of-

ficer. Oh dear, we already have one of those, I think… No, I must be wrong; it must be Byron United for whom this person is working, based on outcomes at least.

Holiday lettingWe have received numerous emails from residents in Byron Bay and other areas in support of our efforts to help maintain the year-round peace and quiet that we are all entitled to. We would like to encourage other residents to form their own group in preparation for Easter holidays.

For example, we are cur-rently in communication with the HLO to encourage them to enforce their own policies, such as screening tenants, and no partying. We have also no-tified the Council about of-fensive noise and disturbances caused by irresponsible holiday letters over ‘Schoolies’, and the Christmas/New Year period.

Gaza donationsThanks to all those good By-ron Bay people who donated $1,557 and others in Perth and Sydney who chipped in anoth-er $500 for me to buy water pu-rification kits to take into Gaza. In my Byron to Cairo article I detailed how only 100 from a total of 1,400 activists from 43 countries were allowed into Gaza by the Egyptian authori-ties who then put out a press release impugning the rest of us. So I didn’t get to Gaza nor

did the vital purification kits.The donations are destined

for the Middle East Children’s Alliance and/or UNICEF but Israel is currently blocking de-livery of a French water puri-fication unit bound for Gaza despite the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitar-ian Affairs warning that Israel’s 23-day blitzkrieg on Gaza one year ago has led to the virtual collapse of the sewage system which will result in contami-nated ground water. Half the 1.5 million inhabitants of the Gaza Strip are children and these are the most vulnerable. The French government sum-moned Israel’s ambassador to explain why the system was de-nied access but his explanation ‘was not satisfactory’, according to Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Eric Chevalier.

I will be writing to Mr Yu-val Rotem, Israel’s ambassador to Australia, Prime Minister Rudd and UN Secretary Gen-eral Ban Ki-Moon asking them to assure delivery of the purifi-cation kits we purchase.

■ Council will be deciding this week on the future of Main Arm, on their vote for the Da-vis DA for 21 lots for the south side of the hamlet. As there are two other DAs (ReGenesis and Boyd Warren) also cur-rently being assessed by Coun-cil for another 37 houses and a commercial/shopping centre, Councillors need to look at the big picture, not just the impact of this one alone.

The proposed land for the Davis development is highly constrained with eight of the proposed 13 rural CT lots being very steep, and all eight of the proposed village lots located on Council GIS-identified flood-prone land surrounded on three sides by either the Brunswick River or Blindmouth Creek. The Byron Rural Settlement Strategy specifically excluded such lands from rural settlement. Council’s own onsite wastewater guide-lines state that onsite systems should not be on steep slopes or near the waterways to prevent water pollution. Onsite systems are planned as close as 25 me-tres from the waterways, and

Council staff even stated that failure of these systems could pollute the Brunswick River.

Traffic on the already danger-ous, substandard access roads is estimated to increase by over 50% from the three DAs, yet there are no plans to upgrade the roads for the increase in traffic. The safety and lives of residents will be at much great-er risk.

Virtually the entire Main Arm community has been strongly opposed to the scale of these developments that would more than treble the popula-tion, ruin the rural character of the area with suburban style developments, and come with a great and permanent loss of amenity.

I urge all Councillors to re-fuse this DA in its current form. Perhaps a smaller development with far less houses would be acceptable, and have less impact on the community. Please save Main Arm and the Shire from an environmental and social disaster.

Guy FisherMain Arm

■ After reading the upcoming (Thursday’s) Council meeting agenda many issues remain with the proposed develop-ments. Many of the concerns raised by MARA and many others in their submissions have been sidestepped by Council planning staff with the very real issues not addressed. Overdevelopment of the village site, flooding access to the CT, wastewater management/drain-age and traffic reports which don’t account for the eventual increases if the other (Regen-esis CT and Village, and Boyd Warren proposals) are sucessful before Council.

These proposals need to be viewed in their totality to see the huge effect they will have on this quiet rural hamlet. These developments will im-pact all those living along The Pocket and Main Arm Roads as well as Main Arm Village. Additionally the health of the Brunswick River if the onsite wastewater systems which are too close to watercourses fail or are overloaded in wet periods or floods.

Council staff are going to let the developer not only bear the cost but actually organise the construction of the new cause-way before the village. This seems a very unusual situation as Council’s dedicated bridge crews generally handle this type of work. Council engineers are to supervise but will the high standards presently achieved by in-house Council staff be main-tained by indepentent contrac-tors who are mainly concerned with making a profit? Will Council’s excellent outdoor staff be sidelined more often in this manner or eventually dis-pensed with? What happens to all that accumulated skill and expertise?

Council is allowing this bridge upgrade to consume all the developers’ Section 94 contributions needed for oth-er purposes such as the other road improvements necessary and additional strains on infra-structure. While the develop-ment should shoulder this cost the other issues need a contri-bution as well.

The Main Arm Residents

Association hopes that all con-cerned residents of Main Arm, The Pocket and surrounding areas will come to the upcom-ing meeting and let Councillors know their concerns. Addition-ally residents of other areas of the Shire threatened by BRSS and CT development should come along before the hinter-land is covered in houses.

Nick GazzardBlindmouth

■ Iconic Main Arm, as we know and love it, is about to be lost if our Councillors allow Council planners to have their way.

The Davis DA, the first of three Main Arm development proposals, comes before Council this Thursday. Put together, this will see 56 new houses encircling the 10 house hamlet of Main Arm.

Council planners have recommended approval of the Davis DA. They have deemed in their report to Council that the DA is ‘generally compliant’ with Council policies and planning laws, not withstanding that there are 102 instances of non-

compliance regarding the Davis proposals for 21 Lots.

For example, contrary to BSC guidelines, ten lots are within the 100 metre buffer zones between house and waterways, including five in the 25-40 metres range. Eight lots will be built on floodprone land, eight lots built on slopes greater than 20%, 20 lots will have inadequate disposal areas for waste etc etc.

How ‘generally compliant’ do developers need to be these days in order to have their developments approved? And why are Council planners so reliant on the developer’s consultants as their source of information when compiling staff reports to Council?

So much for BSC award winning Biodiversity strategy, if in 2010 a developer can be given approval to build a suburban style subdivsion with individual wastewater systems on boggy land right on top of the Main Arm of the Brunswick River.

Michael McDonald

The kerfuffle over who is al-lowed to do what at the Be-longil beachfront came to a head recently when the NSW Land and Environment Court gave a consent order in the case between John and Anne Vaughan and Byron Shire Council. It defines what prop-erty owners are allowed to do to protect their land and sets out Council’s responsibilities in assisting them. No doubt it will be added to the vast heap of le-gal material being accumulated about Australia’s coastline. It’s a shame paper won’t hold back the sea.

The court order declares that a development consent given to Mr Vaughan by Council on November 8, 2001, is valid and ‘provides for interim beach stabilisation works’. It declares that the Vaughans are entitled to maintain and repair the ex-isting geobag revetment and sand nourishment behind it to the same height as the May 2009 storm event. Mr Vaughan maintained in 2009 that was all that he wanted to do at the beachfront; Council suspected that rocks were to be dumped and sought an injunction. In essence, the consent order confirms that the ‘soft’ option – with Council consent – is OK for property owners; the ‘hard’ option is not.

High seas

According to barrister Tony Bannon SC’s submission to the court on behalf of the Vaughans, Mr Vaughan had appealed to Council in late May 2009 to maintain the in-terim protection works, which were part of the 2001 approval, when high seas began to over-top the geobags. When there was no response the Vaughans informed Council they pro-posed to stabilise the dune with rock ‘riprap’ so repairs could be undertaken.

‘The only rocks ever placed on the beach were placed to provide necessary access to the area to enable reconstruction of the geobag wall,’ the sub-mission goes on. ‘When the Vaughans offered to remove them, the Council requested that they stay to enable the Council safely to protect the

Manfred Street site.’In any case, whatever the

purpose of the rocks – or the works Council was required to fulfil under the 2001 consent – Council sought an injunction against the Vaughans under-taking further activity, and that has resulted in the recent con-sent order which reconfirms the original consent.

Under the consent order, Council is also ordered to maintain the existing geobag revetment on its land and complete ASAP but no later than March 31 the ‘reestab-lishment of the sand behind the existing geobag revetment along the Manfred Street site in accordance with the terms of the development consent

including re-establishing the dune behind the whole length of the existing geobag revet-ment along the Manfred Street site to the height and shape of the dune prior to the May 2009 storm event…’. This does not necessarily mean the May 2009 storm event has become the default measure for beach pro-tection and the hole in ratepay-

ers’ pockets can be calculated accordingly in regard to future consent disputes. The good news for Council’s insurers is that once the above works have been done, ‘the Council be re-leased from its undertakings as to damages’.

Of course both sides are try-ing to put the best light on the court outcome.

John Vaughan told the ABC he feels vindicated by the court’s decision. He said it will benefit all those who live in the area. ‘It’s not just my beach-front property, it’s all Belongil owners,’ Mr Vaughan said.

Council’s general manager Graeme Faulkner said in a press release Council does not consider the agreement reached undermines the long

term strategy of ‘planned re-treat’, but reaffirms that works not already the subject of an existing consent must be noti-fied to Council and approval obtained before commencing.

‘The development consent at Manfred Street is valid until such time as Byron Shire Coun-cil has in place a long term management strategy such as

a Coastal Zone Management Plan,’ Mr Faulkner said.

Mr Faulkner also said that defence of this claim was un-dertaken on Council’s behalf by its insurers, Council having subrogated its rights. Accord-ingly, the legal costs associ-ated with the claim have been met by Council’s insurers, not ratepayers.

But while Mr Faulkner has been reported as saying costs associated with the case before the insurer took over came to $12,500 in an insurance excess, Council’s legal status report on matters current at June 30, 2009, shows costs of $281,423 for the case.

As to third parties, the By-ron Preservation Association, which seems to be a reincar-nation of the Belongil Prog-ress Association, called in its usual high-pitched manner for Council to be sacked in the wake of the consent order.

‘This decision is good news for Byron Shire residents, busi-ness owners and visitors to the Shire – and it also means that the protected wetlands will be preserved,’ said BPA President Geoff Tauber.

‘Great expense’

‘But this long-running, po-litically motivated campaign by Council, involving a lengthy and groundless legal battle, has been conducted at great expense to the Shire’s ratepayers and has been undertaken without their consent. The state government should sack the Council and ask the Ombudsman to hold an inquiry into whether Council’s conduct was lawful.’

Mr Tauber said that it was the Council’s own construction works at Main Beach that had hastened the erosion problems at Belongil and increased the risk of flooding to the town-ship and adjacent wetlands.

He said that Council spent ‘huge sums’ on the case before their insurers took the matter over in July 2009. ‘In conduct-ing this frivolous campaign By-ron Shire Council has neglected to represent its own people and put the needs of this township first,’ Mr Tauber said.

Greens senator Bob Brown raised the matter in Parliament in relation to national climate change policy – see box.

In federal parliament last week Sena-tor Bob Brown asked climate change minister Penny Wong about the Belongil court case and its possible consequences. We’ve deleted much of the party political waffle from the transcript below:

Senator BOB BROWN – In view of the decision by the Land and Environment Court yesterday against the Byron Shire Council, is it the government’s intention to leave local government to pick up the tabs for the multibillion dollar bill that will accrue through coastal erosion to proper-ties in Australia in the coming decades?

Senator WONG – … I am aware of the decision of the Land and Environment Court. Obviously that is a New South Wales jurisdiction, but the senator would be aware that the Australian govern-ment is extremely concerned to ensure that we assist local government to gain an understanding of the risks of climate change. We released last year, as you may recall, a study into potential sea level rises as a result of climate change to enable different levels of government to better work together on a better knowledge base to plan for the future. The reality is that those opposite are now led by a

man who thinks – and we know what he thinks of climate change – and I will come back to that later –

Senator BOB BROWN – I thank the minister for her answer and I point out, by way of asking the minister for comment, that the Byron Council has led the world in a planned retreat policy for making it incum-bent upon landowners and builders to be responsible for building within the zone which is threatened by climate change. But the Land and Environment Court has not upheld that. I ask the minister: how many billions of dollars does local govern-ment now face in payouts to people who built within the threatened zone?

Senator WONG – As the senator would be aware, this is an issue that the govern-ment is very aware of… What the senator is asking about is really one of the mani-festations of the costs of climate change. We know that climate change will affect, and is already affecting, our economy and our environment. We know that the Australian coasts are also under signifi-cant pressure. Certainly in my colleague Minister Garrett’s portfolio there is fund-ing through the Caring for Coasts election commitment and, as I said, through my

department we have also presented the national coastal risk assessment, which will assist, has assisted and is assisting local governments to better understand the risks. To be absolutely frank, can I say to the senator that this is an area that requires all levels of government to work together.

Senator BOB BROWN – Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. My question was directly about the cost. Is the Commonwealth going to leave local government to bear, totally by itself, the multibillion dollar tab from the erosion of Australia’s coastlines, which threatens up to 700,000 properties this century?

Senator WONG – Again, what I say is that this is an example of why this nation has to act on climate change – because we know that the costs of failing to act are far greater than the costs of responsible action now. That was once the policy of the Liberal Party of Australia… It was once the policy of a number of the sena-tors opposite who are now interjecting. I wonder why they do protest so much – because they know they have released a policy today which is nothing more than a climate con job.

BLUESFEST HAS A HUGE TREAT IN STORE FOR FANS OF WORLD, JAZZ AND AFRICAN MUSIC WHEN BELA FLECK APPEARS THIS YEAR. A PASSIONATE ADVOCATE FOR THE BANJO, HE TAKES THIS HUMBLE INSTRUMENT BACK TO ITS ROOTS.

What first drew you to the banjo? ‘I first heard it played on the Beverly Hillbillies show and it blew my little mind. This was when I was five or six, maybe younger. From then on I always kept my eyes and ears out for the sound of the banjo.When I was 15 my grandfather got me one, and my life was permanently changed.’

What do you feel the banjo brings to the stage? ‘It is a completely unique sound. I love playing it in various styles.’

To those not familiar with banjo history it seems bizarre to have it combined with African music. I’ve always perceived it as hillbilly. But this four stringed twanger has mysterious roots.

‘The banjo comes from West Africa, and it

came to the Americas with the slaves. The instrument evolved to the type of banjo I play. Mine was made in the 1930s. So it makes all kinds of sense for the banjo to reunite with its original countrymen. It’s not

easy but it is natural and it works!’

Bela just added another two grammies

to his swag. That makes a grand total now of

13! So is it still a thrill?

‘Yes it is, and especially for a

project like this that would

seem to be doomed to

obscurity! Now it looks like

I may have a success on my

hands. Travelling to Africa and

recording on location while

making a film was a very

intense and complex endeavor.

There is some vindication in

winning two grammies for all

the hard work. The fact that

grammies are voted on by

musicians and music business

folks also makes it special when

they pick you.’

What about your first

grammy?

‘The first one was for Bela Fleck

and the Flecktones song Sinister

Minister and the award was Best

Pop Instrumental. I had been

nominated many times but

never won. It was very exciting.’

How did you start working

with Oumou Sangare?

‘When I decided to go

to Africa and record, she

was the top person on

my list. I was crazy about

her music, and I thought that

banjo would really work well.

So I tracked her down, and

discovered to my surprise that

a guy I was in a band with

in 1977 was now booking

her in the US. So I found out

when she was touring, and

got some of my music to her.

She agreed to meet me, and I

went to Brooklyn to find her.

She welcomed me and offered

to host me in Mali. And she

introduced me to many great

Malian musicians.

How does Throw Down Your Heart differ from your other

albums?

‘Wow – it is so different. I have never travelled to another country and brought portable recording equipment and cameras, and recorded in fields,

town squares, hotels, people’s homes and even a studio or two. And the music is my first collaboration with African musicians in Uganda, Tanzania, Mali and the Gambia. As for the recording process… I try to do good work wherever I am. But live and studio are so different. In the studio you try to make things perfect and capture the beautiful moments, while recording with great mikes and gear. On the live shows you let some of that stuff go, and you live in the moment. If it’s a hair out of tune, or someone rushes a little, you don’t stop and do it again! That creates a certain excitement and tension that can bring out some great music too. My Africa trip was five weeks of that.’

What should we be expecting

for the show at Bluesfest?

‘Oumou has one of the greatest African bands ever. She has drums, percussion, bass and guitar, but she also has ethnic instruments like kamele n’goni and one string fiddle. Also she has great backup singers who dance their butts off. And she is an incredible performer. Then you throw me in that mix with my banjo. I’ll also play some solo stuff for those that want to hear me do my thing as well. I want to let you know that I have just released a second album from my trip to Africa, it is called Throw Down Your Heart Part 2 – unreleased tracks, and it can only be found for download at my website, BelaFleck.com. It’s the first time I have self released. The first album is available on Rounder Records. I love Byron and Bluesfest, and I can’t wait to do it with Oumou.’

PEEK A BOO Sense of humour incarnates before language. It is intrinsically linked with perception and intellect and the understanding of how things should be and how surprising it is when they aren’t. Adults without a sense of humour therefore have the emotional development of pre peek a boo, lost in limbo between oral and anal. (Freudian markers of psychological maturation). On the developmental scale they are still gurgling, wide-eyed sponges dribbli ng on a rusk.

I had this epiphany the other day when I was playing the hundredth game of peek a boo with my 9 month old. She was in hysterics. Four children down the track and the trusty peepo never ceases to amuse. Babies find peek a boo funny because they have no abstract reality awareness. Once something is out of sight, it doesn’t exist anymore (maybe a baby wrote The Secret). Therefore if you hide your head with a cloth the baby thinks your head is gone. This is the stuff of horror films. And then, as if by magic, suddenly it’s back. Oh Boo! The relief. Mummy’s head is back.

There has been a search for the greatest joke ever told. Look no further. Head removal and replacement is the zenith of gag telling. If I was going to use her as a test audience for my gags, according to this reaction I should be hitting the stage with some peek a boo magic. I can

see my next performance. I enter

to huge applause. I put a sheet

over my head. The audience is

amazed. Where did she go? Did

you see that, Mandy Nolan has

been abducted by aliens! She’s

vaporised!

Then I pull the sheet off and go

‘Boo’. Audiences go wild. She’s

back. How did she do it! They

can’t believe it. Someone faints.

A man in the front row has a

heart attack. The laughter swells

for at least a minute. Someone

at the back just won’t stop. The

audience is enthralled. They start

to chant: ‘again again again’. I

reluctantly pull the sheet and

start the climb – the tension is

unbearable, will she do it, yes!

She’s gone again and once more

it’s ‘Boo!’ Oh it’s even better the

second time! After an hour the

audience is sated. Limp from

laughter. Some of them are

dribbling. Someone’s done a

poo. I say ‘That’s enough’.

Then, a lady in the front row has

an idea. She tentatively lifts her

sarong and covers her head,

drops it then shrieks ‘Boo’. I can’t

believe it! It’s hysterical. And

the gag starts all over again.

This time I’ve lost my bundle.

Where’d she go? Oh no, there

she is. Clench that pelvic floor!

As a teacher of comedy I marvel

how the simplicity of peek-a-

boo reflects the mantra that

lies at the heart of all comedy:

setup / punch. Set up punch.

That’s all it is. That’s my job. I set

up. I punch. There’s no genius,

just an understanding of the

clarity of form. Everything funny

has set up punch. The set up is

the serious bit, the punch line

is funny. It’s tension, surprise.

Tension surprise! (No wonder

I’m a nervous wreck, it’s an

occupational hazard!)

The existence of pre-language

peek-a-boo reinforces that

humour exists before words as a

non verbal connection between

people, a shared recognition of

the human condition. Suddenly

I’m not some potty mouthed

player practising performance’s

darkest art, I’m a philosopher!

Ocean Shores ElderberriesLocal South Golden Beach elderberries, Daevid Allen and Gilli Smyth are back home after a gruelling eight month European touring season with Gong. Together with Greg Sheehan and their many friends they are offering a benefit gig of acoustic music at the South Golden Beach

Community Centre on Friday from 7 – 11pm. Funds will go towards providing a shade and benches for the long suffering SGBCC.

Barwick at BowloBarwick are Matt on vocal, guitar and Jeff on drums. The two are Melbourne natives who saw the light and settled in as permanent residents in Byron Bay.

Their style of music is original/covers Pop-Rock/Blues. They play the Byron Bowls Club on Sunday at 2.30pm.

Bringing the Kirtan DownWorld music pioneer, Grammy nominee and Kirtan master Jai Uttal is coming to the Byron Community Centre on Thursday at 8pm with workshops scheduled at Durrumbul Hall on Sunday from 10am. Jai has led Kirtans

(traditional Hindu chants) worldwide for more than 30 years. He is one of the major forces in western Kirtan and devotional chanting, and an inspiration to many of today’s Kirtan and chanting facilitators. In his late teens Uttal began regular pilgrimages to India studying with master teacher Ustad Ali Akbar Khan. Upon returning to the USA, he formed the Pagan Love Orchestra, which gained international prominence with the release of several critically acclaimed albums, including Footprints, Beggars and Saints, and Shiva Station. Uttal’s subsequent recordings include the Grammy-nominated Mondo Rama and the newly released Thunder Love. Jai also has another weekend Kirtan Workshop – Friday (3pm), Saturday and Sunday February 19, 20 and 21 at Durrumbul Hall and Sunday Kirtan evening 7pm. For workshops please bring your own cushion as you can’t sit on a Kirtan. Book online: www.oneentertainment.com.au

Film: Byron’s International Film Festival Ready to GoThe 2010 Byron Bay International Film Festival (BBFF) is set to deliver its most dynamic lineup yet! The Festival dates from March 5 – 13, in the heart of Byron Bay at the Community Centre. BBFF 2010 will screen approximately 150 films which are a mix of Australian and international. Various genres include surfing films, environmental documentaries, shorts, and a handful of international features. Surf fanatics will be looked after with a number of films celebrating this truly Byron culture. Festival director J’aimee says ‘The Byron Bay International Film Festival prides itself on the creation of an event that stays with the audience long after the festival is over. Thought provoking, stimulating, heart warming and inspiring, it’s one of those Festivals that people remember.’ For more information go to www.bbff.com.au

Film: Theatre on ScreenFebruary is shaping up as an exciting month for theatre and opera lovers, as Dendy Byron Bay Cinemas screen two more operas from the New York Metropolitan Opera season, as well as another play from Britain’s National Theatre. The NT Live program of filmed plays has seen a very diverse selection so far: a classic Greek tragedy in Phedre, a Shakespeare, and now a production for the whole family: Nation, based on the novel by Terry Pratchett (Discworld). This witty and challenging adventure story is set in a parallel world in 1860. Two teenagers are thrown together by a tsunami that has destroyed Mau’s village, and left Daphne shipwrecked on his South Pacific island, thousands of miles from home. Neither speaks the other’s language yet somehow they must learn to survive, as starving refugees gather. Overseen by a foul-mouthed parrot, together they come of age. Suitable for adults and children over ten, Nation screens on Saturday and Sunday at 1pm.

The Big Joke is BackIt’s that funny time of year again. Now in its fourth year, The Big Joke Comedy Festival hits the Bangalow A&I Hall from March 18–21.

Ando the Comedy CommandoSome of you will know Wil Anderson as ‘the bloke who sits in the middle on that ABC-TV show with the weird name’ (The Gruen Transfer).You might have also heard him on the radio as the Wil part of Wil and Lehmo on Triple M, or on the much-loved Triple J Breakfast Show with Adam Spencer. But it is standup comedy that is Wil’s true passion. He has proudly told ‘dick jokes for cash’ in pretty much every comedy club and festival in Australia, and taken his knob gags international to Edinburgh, Montreal, New York and in December made his London premiere with a two-week season at the Riverside Studios.Wil Anderson makes his way to Byron Bay for two very special shows at the Pandanus Room at the Services Club trialing his brand new material.

Jackson Jackson @ Beach BeachEveryone loves the Cat Empire. While sweating in the front of a pulsing mosh pit you can’t help but marvel at the dude on the trumpet, Harry, scatting and blasting and leading the fray into an adrenaline frenzy. Harry Angus is a key member of hip hop outfit Jackson Jackson. They describe their music as a fusion of hip hop, afro beat and psychobilly. They appear at the Beach Hotel on Saturday.

SEPH at EARTHFREQ February 12 Earth Freq time! The

independent outdoor festival is

alive with counter culture and

heavy with new ideas. Earth

Freq has just announced that

there will be an after party at Bar

Soma in the Fo rtitude Valley,

Brisbane on Friday 19 where

some of their internationals

are giving an encore... www.

earthfreq.com/after_party.

Seph is on the lineup of this

fifth sustainable lifestyle festival

where environmental and

interpersonal issues are high

on the agenda along with

transformative fun…

Q: What do you expect from

Earth Freq? Is this the first time

you’re playing?

A: ‘Yes it’s the first time, and it’s

my first time in Australia! I’m

really excited to see what will

happen, eager to meet new

funky people! Plus I’ve been told

many great things about Earth

Freq, and the whole idea behind

it sounds just great.’

Q: Who inspires you?

A: ‘Artists from loads of different

musical areas. Techno-wise,

Ricardo Villalobos is a major

influence… But I’m more into

IDM and rock, so I’m a huge fan

of things like Radiohead, Plaid,

Boards of Canada, Bjork, Michael

Jackson, Alva Noto, Monolake…

In terms of ideas a big figure for

me is John Cage’

Q: How would you describe

your style?

A: ‘I guess it’s a bit of everything

tech oriented: tech house,

techno, minimal, dub. A friend

once said it’s something like

space n bass.’

Q: Any new releases people

should look out for?

A: ‘I’m doing the final details of

a few remixes that I’m releasing

in the following months: a remix

of Pablo Denegri and Mekaz for

the Argentinian label Igloo-rec,

another one for Tim Sensient, for

the Australian Open Records, and

one for Elvis T, for the Chinese

label Acupuncture Records.

Q: What can people expect

from your set at Earth Freq?

A: ‘Expect to hear deeper

designed sounds with a more

experimental approach and

weirder grooves, and with a very

important orientation: good old

school techno attitude. I’ll be

performing a live set featuring

only my productions, I’m not a

DJ.’

Earth Freq starts this Friday

and runs through to Sunday

late arvo. Others on the lineup

include Tipper. Tickets $130 at

gate – enjoy the frequency!

DJ Aphrodite at Liquid this Thursday APHRODITE produced the first

drum’n’bass record I bought in

2000. Gavin King’s career in DJ-

ing and producing had already

spanned over six years by then

and he went on to become

‘Godfather of Jungle’ and ‘King

of the Beats’. APHRODITE moved

millions of drum’n’bass fans

from Shanghai to Rio, UK to USA,

Sydney to Cape town, Moscow

to South Korea while his name

became synonymous with fast

broken beats.

UK’s APHRODITE is back at

Liquid and you’re in for a diverse

night out with this outstanding

‘urban junglist’ and a stellar local

support from Slinky, Sista Ray,

Rubix and M-Phonik. myspace.

$15 at the door. You should bring your own non-messy art materials. No easels allowed, and it’s an over 18s event. If you can’t draw to save yourself, don’t let that stop you, just come along for a fun new experience or support an arty buddy!

Art: Make Your own MasterpieceLearn how to turn an old box or odd panel of wood into a stunning work of art at a free talk and demonstration presented by two exceptional young Australian artist/designers who share a passion for drawing, colour and the environment. Luke Taaffe and Mia Taninaka both grew up by the coast, studied graphic art and found niche roles creating illustrations in the crazy world of fashion. Luke Taaffe is frequently hailed as one of Australia’s most interesting upcoming surf artists, with his distinct collection of finely executed drawings turned paintings predominately created on weathered wooden boxes and pre-loved materials. Like Taafe, Taninaka shuns more traditional art surfaces like paper or canvas, for something with a bit of grain to it. Her stunning imaginative works, inspired by her Japanese heritage, open our eyes to the mystical and complex relationships between man and nature through delightfully intricate imagery incorporating feathers, masks, shamanistic eyes and animals. The

InBetween opens 6pm Friday at Retrospect Galleries, Byron Bay, everyone welcome. The pair will also be presenting a free talk and demonstration at 11am on Saturday at the Gallery, where you can find out what’s involved in transforming that old wooden box in the garage to a masterpiece. And yes boys, there will be powertools…

Human PrintsThis exhibition of prints and mixed media works by Judy Oakenfull, focuses on the way we look at and interact with public spaces and nature, and also examines the new Tweed Shire Council logo. Previously her work was sourced from urban locations in Australia, Asia and Europe. It looked at nature’s impact on the built environment with an emphasis on the worn, weathered and neglected. Now based in the Tweed Valley, she continues this theme, but more of the abundant nature of the Northern Rivers is seeping into her work. Opening Saturday at 3pm at Community Printmakers Murwillumbah (CPM Inc) Workshop Gallery 33-35 Kyogle Road Bray Park via Murwillumbah.

Spiritual Art Lily Moses has visions. This local artist takes inspiration from her dream state and out of body experiences them translating onto canvas and paper. Her motto since she was a child has been ‘to create beauty in life’…’I rarely spoke as a child and preferred to communicate through artistic means… to me it was a more harmonious way.’ Don’t miss the opening of her exhibition Spirit Art Friday at 6pm at Zakay Glass Creations Gallery located in the Byron Arts and Industry Park. The exhibition will run from February 12 – March 18.

Bright StarFanny Brawne, 18, met the poet

John Keats, 21, when he lived

next door to her in Hampstead

with his fellow writer and

benefactor Charles Brown. Their

brief but all–consuming love is

the subject of Jane Campion’s

rapturous film. Period pieces

such as this (it is 1818, shortly

after Mister Darcy’s combative

wooing of Miss Elizabeth

Bennet) can flatter to deceive,

there sometimes being no

more to them than handsome

sets and a parade of beauties

in closely studied bonnets and

empire line frocks. Not here.

Abbie Cornish, who appears

to have filled out somewhat, is

a revelation as the bright star.

Fanny, a seamstress, is an artist in

her own right and she knows it,

even though others are only able

to acknowledge her talent by

patronising it. As the instigator of

the romance, she is independent

and enquiring, but also dutiful

and constrained by the mores

of the time. Cornish owns the

movie with a performance of

grace, subtlety and the deepest

emotional resonances. As for

Ben Whilshire – if Keats wasn’t

a dead ringer for him he should

have been. Palely loitering and

looking as though in a later

age he’d be playing guitar

with the Kinks, he only rarely

approaches fey cliché. Which in

itself is an unfair criticism, for

the image of the nineteenth

century romantic poet has been

nurtured and gratefully received

by dreamers for generations.

Happily, Campion has no post-

modern mission to shatter it.

And, with nary a torn bodice

nor a seductive letting down of

Fanny’s tightly combed chignon,

it is tremendously sexy – the

lovers’ kisses and letters are

more erotically charged than

any number of the humpings

that make grubby voyeurs of us

– what a darling scene it is when

Toots, Fanny’s little sister, stops in

her tracks when she comes upon

the pair smooching in a meadow.

It’s so natural. Kerry Fox is

splendid as the mother who frets

for her daughter, realising that

Keats’s poverty will forever stand

in the way of their marriage,

while the male counterweight

is Brown. Devoted to his

more talented friend, he is

dismissive of Fanny, allowing for

Campion to fire a quiet but not

unexpected feminist shot across

the bow. Even with his sleaziness

and bluster, it’s hard to not grow

close to him and Paul Schneider

nails a tricky role without you

noticing. Campion has created a

thing of lasting beauty, for which

she can finally be forgiven for

The Piano. As icing on the cake,

go home and read La Belle Dame

Sans Merci. Heartbreaking.

~ John Campbell

Up In The AirCould I have had the wool pulled

over my eyes by enjoying this

film so much? Ryan (George

Clooney) works for a company

that hires him out to fly from

one city to the next, where he

fires employees whose bosses

don’t have the gumption to do

it themselves – ‘your position is

no longer available’, he smoothly

and compassionately advises

them. It’s not that he can’t feel

their pain, he is aware of it but

he just doesn’t care. It’s his job

and he does it as the ultimate

professional, loving the lifestyle

of hotels, hire cars and business

class perks. Ryan’s charm lies is

his honesty and Clooney, who

has more sense than to attempt

self-effacement, is an actor

polished enough to seduce you

with the depth of his character’s

veneer. He meets Alex (Vera

Farmiga) over martinis in a

platinum-card waiting lounge

and they hit it off as a pair of

perfectly fitting narcissists,

squeezing in bonking sessions

when their itineraries intersect.

Upsetting the applecart is Natalie

(Anna Kendrick), a bright, preppy

thing who convinces Ryan’s

supervisor of the cost saving

benefits of on-line dismissals.

Kendrick goes close to up staging

Clooney with a wonderful

performance as the energetic

but gauche tyro (she reminded

me throughout of Margene in

SBS’s Big Love), and for a while

things threaten to get edgy as

director Jason Reitman poses

as social commentator on the

human cost of America’s financial

crisis. When Ryan invites Alex to

accompany him to Wisconsin

for his younger sister’s wedding

the movie drifts back into the

more familiar and potentially

soppy realm of the standard

rom-com. Taking the privileged,

detached hedonist back home

to his roots is one of Hollywood’s

most reliable devices and, cheesy

though it is, it never fails. Ryan

connects with other folks and

realises that he has fallen for

Alex. It’s a neatly filmed segment

– succinct, rosy and unlabored

– but it dilutes what might have

been a more challenging story.

Witty and wholly engaging,

with cleverly veiled resolutions,

Up In The Air lacks the warmth

of Reitman’s Juno. More slick

than sophisticated, it owes its

success to the interplay between

the leads – including Jason

Bateman as Ryan’s calculating

boss. Knowing that many of the

cut-away interviews are with

real people who, unscripted, talk

about getting the sack leaves a

bad taste in the mouth – it’s a

trite way to earn a best picture

nomination and you can bet you

won’t see any of them on the

red carpet come the night of the

Oscars.

~ John Campbell

Fantastic Mr FoxBased on the much-loved story

by Roald Dahl, this children’s

story is a larger than life fantasy

for all ages – showcasing the

voice talents of a pack of stars,

led by George Clooney as the

likeably roguish Mr. Fox. Like

most animal characters in fiction,

he has recognisably human

traits… and failings. Meryl Streep

voices Mrs. Fox in a perfectly

pitched blend of loving wife and

knowing woman and the entire

supporting cast is spot on. Bill

Murray endears us to the badger,

while Willem Dafoe is a dirty rat

on security duty for the farmers.

The film plays like an adventure,

but director Wes Anderson

has ensured there is enough

attention to character and to

detail to make it all absolutely

absorbing and entertaining. The

puppetry is superb, the settings

are interesting and the humour

is infectious.

A TASTE OF HARMONYA Taste of Harmony is Australia’s biggest celebration of cultural diversity at work, starting on March 15 and ending with National Harmony Day on March 21. An initiative of the Scanlon Foundation and supported by both the Australian Multicultural Foundation and the Department of Immigration and Citizenship,

it constitutes a competition entitled ‘Win A Chef’ which is open to all workplaces and which consists of colleagues bringing into work a lunch dish, on a set date, reflecting their cultural background. Each workplace must be registered at www.tasteofharmony.org.au and submit in 25 words or less a response to ‘What do you think are the key ingredients in celebrating cultural diversity in your workplace?’ The winning workplace will receive a visit and a cooking masterclass by one of Australia’s top chefs, Miguel Maestre, from El Toro Loco in Manly (and star of television shows Miguel’s Tropical Kitchen and Boys’ Weekend), culminating in a taste of his culinary creations. Almost 10,000 workers from NSW participated in ‘A Taste of Harmony’ last year. It’s a great way to have a multicultural feast at work and learn something about the different cultures existing in your workplace. Registration for the event is free but must be done by March 1. For more information on the competition call 1800 077 067 or visit www.tasteofharmony.org.au

I have always privately felt that the world could be fairly neatly divided up into tea-drinkers and coffee-drinkers. Of course it is a gross over-simplification and generalisation, subject to overlaps and fashion – and yet, based on my own experience, it seems that there are those who love coffee and rarely drink tea and those whose days could almost be measured by the frequency of their tea rituals. People in this category are always ‘putting the kettle on’ to mark an event or a pause; my own two sisters love nothing more than a mug of fairly milky tea at various intervals throughout the day. Whereas I am most definitely a coffee person, who might drink tea a handful of times a year only. I do not dislike tea at all – on the contrary I am aware that there are teas and there are teas and I have indeed at times admired a particular type or brew.

Having recently, however, been taken on a little tour around a tea plantation has subtly shifted my attitude. Just outside of Murwillumbah are the rolling green hills which constitute Madura. The word ‘madura’ means ‘place of paradise’ in the Tamil language, marketing and public relations manager Ray Fien tells me. Ray, large and warmly avuncular, has been working at Madura for seven years, having come from a 25-year position with Coles. He explains that Madura is a family company run by four couples and employing over 50 locals. Operating since the 1970s, it has only been over the last seven years – as long as Ray has been there – that it has stepped up its commitment to ensuring a minimal environmental impact. Madura’s teas were named amongst the cleanest sold in Australia by Choice magazine, and the company has been recognised nationally for its sustainable approach to packaging and waste minimisation, its practices including re-using cardboard for mulch, the use and management of glue and fuel efficiency for farm machinery. Ray rescues me from the sun and guides me through the factory where hi-tech Italian equipment is filling 450 tea-bags a minute: oxygen-bleached filter bags utilising no staples. The tea that generally goes into tea-bags is known as ‘fannings’ or ‘dust’ and is the waste product produced from the sorting of higher quality loose-leaf tea – in

the case of Madura, however, the smallest leaf particles are used. The farm employs very few pesticides, and no insecticides at all. Water is regularly tested for chemical residue, with samples sent off every year to the Queensland Health Scientific Services.

Back outside we stand in the shade, and Ray points out some rudiments of tea-growing. All around us is green lushness, gently undulating hills and dales across 55 acres. Only the top one to two inches of the mature tea plant – both buds and leaves, called ‘flushes’ – are picked. A plant will grow a new flush every seven to ten days during the growing season. Cultivated plants are pruned to waist-height for ease of plucking. Of the two principal varieties used, Madura’s is the large-leafed Assam type. Tea is traditionally classified based on the techniques with which it is produced and processed – and so, for example, black tea is wilted and fully oxidised, which also means that it contains fewer catechins (a type of anti-oxidant) than green and white teas, neither of which are oxidised. White tea is the healthiest type of all; green is less processed than black. Blending enables an almost endless range of scented and flavoured variants – for example, bergamot which perfumes Earl Grey.

I have so loved my visit: tea makes much more sense. And while I may never actually go over to the other side, convert to a fully-fledged tea drinker, I am now aware of possibilities previously unimagined, and plan to explore them.

Madura Tea Estates is at 753 Clothiers Creek Road, Murwillumbah – and absolutely worth a trip!

GOOD FOOD GUIDECHEFS HAT EVERYYEAR SINCE 1998

<echowebsection=Good Taste>

Our enjoyment of croquet at Miss Cynthia B Sidebottom’s beachside residence was somewhat hampered when the front half of her lawn fell into the Pacific, swallowing up the canapes and her chef, Gaston Biftek, imported especially for the event from Paris. Fortunately Tosser Digby, noted for his exploits with the cliff divers of Acapulco, managed to rescue the chap but not, alas, the canapes.

‘Terrible show,’ I murmured as I patted Miss Sidebottom’s wrist in consolation. Miss Sidebottom dabbed her eyes with a lace handkerchief, sighed, and put on a brave face.

Sanders the butler coughed discreetly beside me. ‘Sir might remember the islands,’ he said, sotto voce.

Sanders was right, as usual. You may recall, gentle reader, that I had earlier recounted our purchase of the nation state of Tuvalu post Copenhagen. It was an agreement of mutual benefit, and the hoisting of the islands onto pontoons had saved the nation from a tiresome inundation.

Negotiations with the traditional owners proved fruitful and we had one of the smaller islands surplus to requirements towed into Byron Bay by the SS Fortitude, which had earlier assisted Barnaby Chokehold move his assets to an offshore account when the tax office began nipping at his heels. The island, which we named Beppo after one of Lord Byron’s poetic fabrications, just as the Julians had been, served admirably as a protective reef and provided local surfers with workable breaks. (Incidentally, Lord Byron was known to augment the supply of opium to the Lake Geneva chapter of the Club, around about the time Miss Mary Godwin was penning Frankenstein, or The Modern Prometheus, at the Villa Diodati. One of the Club’s chaps wrote of Prometheus in the day book of

the time: ‘Its horrors are certain to entertain generations.’) Beppo also became home to the lesser-spotted planigale and a refuge for the terns plagued by uncontrolled dogs on the mainland.

We took a whip-round the chaps and had Miss Sidebottom’s front lawn restored and resumed the croquet tournament. As is our wont, all great sporting occasions are accompanied by lunch – or in the case of night badminton, supper – and Monsieur Biftek was only too happy with the second chance to prove his credentials, and prove them he did. We began with Fussbudget of Nightingale in an Ague of Capon, followed by Terrine Étonnement, and concluded with the Crepes Angleterre smothered in a Contusion of Blueberries and Creme Fraiche. Miss Sidebottom’s health we toasted in the 1997

Belongil Lost Promenade Erosion Cabernet, its piquant hints of lawsuits and oak shavings thrilling the senses.

Later in the afternoon, her cheeks flushed with excitement and perhaps a trifle too much cherry brandy, Miss Sidebottom approached me, trilling, ‘Oh Mr Bitemark, this is all too wonderful!’ She then proceeded to plant an appreciative peck on my cheek. It warms the heart of the ancient roué when the young so indulge us.

Incidentally, Digby would have won the croquet had not Abbotsleigh fallen asleep at the seventh hoop. We adjudged it too bothersome to move him, even after Sanders had volunteered to set up a block-and-tackle, so we adjourned for coffee instead.

1. Sandra Bullock stars in Premonition (Prime, Friday,

8.30pm), which explores the usual Hollywood clichés

about death, ghosts and bits of torn paper.

2. NBN is running the Winter Olympics and also brings

us Snow Job on Sunday morning at 1am, starring one

of the greatest skiiers of all time, Jean-Claude Killy.

3. Most women would emphasise with the phrase

Tired Of Kissing Frogs (SBS2, Sunday, 9.30pm), and

Ana Serradila finds a (temporary) way out in this

Mexican romantic comedy.

Elsewhere, Doctor Who is back on ABC1 at 7.30pm on

Last week’s solution

Mungo’s Crossword fi rst published in The Week.

The Magnus Carlsen era has well and truly begun.

Over the past four months the Norwegian teenager (pictured)has won elite tournaments in Nanjing, London and, last week, Wijk aan Zee in the Netherlands.

Add to this a second place in the Tal Memorial, a win of the World Lightning (five minute) Championship (both in Moscow) plus Carlsen’s rise to become the youngest ever world number one on January 1, and it is clear that the Force is indeed with Carlsen.

In truth, Carlsen’s victory at the

Corus tournament in Wijk aan Zee was the least convincing of his recent wins, with the 19-year-old barely edging out Vladimir Kramnik and Alexei Shirov while also losing his first serious game since July.

Carlsen’s conqueror, both in Wijk aan Zee and in July, was for-mer World Champion Kramnik, who seemed headed for glory in Wijk aan Zee until being stopped by a determined World Champion Viswanathan Anand in the penultimate round.

The other player who seemed to have the Corus tournament at his mercy was Shirov but, after winning his first five games, the dashing Spaniard lost momen-tum. Shirov still had a chance to take the Corus trophy from Carlsen’s grasp at the death but in the last round, with just two seconds left on the clock, agreed to a draw in a position that Shirov did not realise had dramatically turned in his favour.

But the player probably most pleased with his performance in Wijk aan Zee finished only fourth.

Hikaru Nakamura, 22, was making his debut in a Grand Slam tournament but the brash US Champion proved that he belonged in such company, halt-ing Shirov’s run and challenging for the lead at the tournament’s halfway point.

Nakamura also played the tournament’s most spectacular game, the following attacking blitz against local favourite Loek van Wely.

WITH LILITH

ARIES: The combined tempers

of both Aries and Tigers suggest

scorched earth with a whiff

of burnt bridges, so the fiery

crucible of Metal Tiger year

needs superhuman self control

on your part. You’re already a

fighter so upgrade your loving

skills this year, starting with

Valentines day.

TAURUS: In a Tiger year people

suffer depending how pliable

or resistant they are to change,

but by now you’ve had plenty

of practice rolling with the

punches. A year of thunderous

events, in which Tauran fortitude

and determination will steer you

through the eye of the storm.

GEMINI: The best Gemini

operating blueprint for 2010 is

to stay alert for opportunities

and take advantage of all

circumstances, no matter how

adverse. Though don’t shoot

yourself in the foot by being too

impulsive – and always have an

alternative plan B up your sleeve.

CANCER: Oriental interpreters say metal and Tiger together always fight – picture a Tiger in a suit of armour. But Crabs quite like armour and this year definitely puts a tiger in your tank – just as well, because it appears that 2010 comes neither quietly nor peacefully.

LEO: Magnificent, powerful, feared, respected, clever, courageous – little wonder Eastern astrologers consider Tiger the king of beasts. This year of the Big Striped Pussycat finds you riding the wild tiger with everyone else – and fortunately with good recuperative powers because it really is a killer year.

VIRGO: Yours may be one of this year’s happier matches with Virgo controlling Tiger’s rash urges while the jungle hunter’s audacity has dazzling effects on the normally reserved Virgo. It’s a trying time for tranquility though, with criticism triggering spectacularly volatile reactions – just so you know.

LIBRA: One of the Tiger year’s qualities is procrastination, so making decisions doesn’t get any easier this year. Though when you do make up your mind what you want, chances of achieving it are better than average during this bold, go-for-it period.

SCORPIO: Dramatic and dynamic as its markings, Tiger’s a natural predator and rebel and its year strengthens these already formidable Scorpionic qualities for ambitious projects or protesting against society’s wrongs. But living dangerously can lead to big trouble this year, so proceed very very carefully…

SAGITTARIUS: You’ll need all your street smarts and negotiating skills to survive this uninhibited, unconventional Tiger year, because others are touchy and reactive – offending the wrong person could have you looking at a lawsuit. But keep your impatient nature under control and it’s possible to prosper.

CAPRICORN: Metal Tiger year can attract cash, but the colour representing metal is white and many Chinese astrologers consider the White Tiger year jinxed. Change is definitely on its way and this unpredictable year screams for caution – where Capricorns are concerned that’s your health department.

AQUARIUS: Its independent ways and tendency to extreme and sudden change aligns the Tiger to Aquarius in Western astrology. 2010’s chancy and erratic circumstances are likely to inspire you to the daring actions best suited to navigating the upheavals predicted for the year ahead.

PISCES: I Am Tiger, Hear Me Roar! proclaims the brightly burning Tiger year. The vigorous, vibrant energy of the Wild One fires up your watery world with the courage to strut your stuff, be brazen, reach out and take what you want, then roar for more…

The Eastern zodiac traditionally associates the Year of the Metal Tiger with social

upheaval and massive change, making 2010 a volatile year on the world stage as well as up close and personal. Beginning

this Sunday on Valentine’s Day, it’s a year to remember love is all you need…

SIGN ONS I was talking to a couple of blokes in the pub the other day. They were obviously old mates and when I asked them how they knew each other, one of them said that they had played soccer together as kids. During the course of the conversation it came out that they also lived in the same street, went to the same school and their mothers knew each other long before either of them was born, but to these fellows, their friendship stemmed from the time they spent in the same football club.

There is so much more to playing a team sport than getting fit. Being part of a team is often the first port of call for a social life and being a team member can help create a sense of belonging which in turn can lift self esteem.

There are really quite a lot of life lessons that can be learned from being one of the cogs in a wheel.

There is understanding the game rules and guidelines

which stimulates memory and reasoning skills. There’s the actual physical requirements which promote fitness and discipline. Also there is the nessessity to share the limelight and not ‘hog the ball’, which teaches children about working together with another group of humans for the benefit of the collective and not the individual, in other words: community spirit.

Team sport also creates the opportunity for kids to learn to be competitive without being aggressive and to take pride in themselves, their team and the team’s achievements, which again promotes self esteem and a sense of belonging.

Even being part of the ‘wooden spooners’ can give children a feeling of not being alone when everything doesn’t go the way they want it to. Some teams revelling

in being in last place (until next season) and have a good laugh at themselves while finding out that last place doesn’t make the sun, moon and stars fall out of the sky – but an experience with friends through thick and thin and the bottom of the ladder.

Being in a team is a great experience and in the Byron Shire we are very lucky to have a huge variety of team sports including soccer, tennis, hockey, rugby union and league, netball, touch football and chess to name a few.

Most clubs have training and coaching sessions that will help you get to know the sport better and improve playing skills.

Kirra Teams Challenge Update

Last weekend was the Kirra Teams Challenge held on the Gold Coast.

The event was held at Du-ranbah in 5-6ft surf.

The rain didn’t stop the 36 teams that competed from hav-ing a great weekend.

BBB started the weekend

competition with Danny Wills taking 2nd place after breaking his board in the final moments of his heat after leading the the whole way.

Nick Colby, Tommy Boucat and Bryce Cameron also placed 2nd in their heats.

The first wins for the BBB came on the Saturday with Jar-rad Sullivan and Garrett Parkes winning their heats.

Sunday the heats were stacked with talent, which saw all of the clubs bringing out their best surfers to secure a possible title.

Shane Wehner and Luke Archibald took to the water for the BBB and both finished 3rd in their heats.

BBB finished 13th out of 36 teams so a great effort from our surfers.

A big thankyou goes out to all of the BBB members who went along to the event to support our clubs surfers, with special thanks to Lee Miller for a huge effort setting up each day.

LeBa get ready to rumble at Surftag

The Jim Beam Surftag National Series provides a national com-petition for boardriding clubs to compete against each other and to determine Australia’s No.1 Club.

Surftag is Australia’s larg-est team surfing competition

and offers a prize pool of over $100,000 in cash and prizes.

The Series is run under the popular tag team format with each club represented by five surfers. In relay style each surf-er catches three waves and then returns to the beach to tag their team’s next surfer.

Over the past eight years some interesting results have been recorded, North Nar-rabeen is the only team to have won back to back National Ti-tles and Margaret River won four Western Australia Surftag events in a row only to finish runners up to Yallingup in 2007, 2008 and 2009.

In their second year of Surftag South Australia’s Sea-ford Boardriders won the 2009 Victoria Surftag event and Snapper Rocks have won four of the eight Queensland Titles finishing runners up to rival club Kirra in 2009.

Bronte Boardriders did not compete in 2008 but bounced back to claim victory at the 2009 New South Wales event, beating a record field of 38 teams.

Lennox Ballina Boardriders Club will fly the local flag when they head south to Sydney for the Surftag Australian Cham-pionship this weekend.

After finishing equal fifth in last month’s Queensland qual-ifying round behind winners Kirra, LeBa will take on the country’s best 24 Surftag teams

including powerhouses Marga-ret River, North Narrabeen and Snapper Rocks for the more than $40,000 on offer.

LeBa have drawn Noosa, Western Australian club Yal-lingup and Sydney’s Avalon in the opening round and will have to finish top two in the heats to progress to the quarters finals.

That is no easy task consid-ering Noosa beat LeBa by fin-ishing a strong second in the Queensland titles and Yallingup will be led by world number four Taj Burrow, but the LeBa squad will be strengthened too with world class surfers Adam Melling, Owen Wright and Stu Kennedy all likely to be avail-able to join an already power-ful squad that includes Marcus Aboody, James Wood, Sonny Russell, Dan Thompson and Jock Barnes.

Club spokesperson Rod Stee-les acknowledged that LeBa’s opening heat was a tough one but said it wasn’t something that would daunt the team.

‘We are not worried by any draw or who we have got be-cause it’s the Australian finals, everyone feels good just to be there,’ said Steeles. ‘If you want to win you have got to beat some of the best teams along the way through anyway.’

While the final five surfers for the LeBa team may not be named until Saturday, Steeles is confident the club has the

talent to go all the way.‘We’ve had a good run the

last few years, making finals and the like and this is our best team yet,’ he said. ‘We have a solid squad and we think we can do well.’

The event sees five-member teams given an hour in which each individual must catch three waves, with the second being a “Powerwave” worth double points.

All three waves for each

surfer count in the scoring and bonus points are awarded for teams that finish before the 60 minute mark. Many of the world’s best will be on show in the event including world champion Mick Fanning, world number two Joel Par-kinson, Taj Burrow, Dean Mor-rison, Mick Campbell, Chris Davidson and Kai Otton.

LeBa will be represented in the Boardriders Cup by Dan Thompson.

Primary schools get into rugby union at BangalowThe Australian Rugby Union has teamed up with the Ban-galow Rugby Club to put on a gala day for the Wallabies of the future on the Far North Coast.

The inaugural ARU Ban-galow FNC Primary Schools Rugby Gala Day will be held on Friday 12 March at the Banga-low Sports Fields.

The free event will cater for boys and girls in three age cat-egories, Under 8s, Under 10s and Under 12s and will be played under the ARU rugby pathway guidelines. The Tour-nament is open to all North Coast Primary Schools, even those with little rugby expe-rience. This will allow new schools to compete against and play alongside those with stronger rugby traditions in a fun, carnival atmosphere.

The event builds on the

growing momentum for junior rugby around Bangalow that started with the creation of a single under 12 team just three years ago. Last year, Bangalow Junior Rugby ran on five teams and the Club hopes to field sev-en teams for the 2010 season in every age group from under 8 to under 15.

More information about the Primary Schools Rugby Gala Day will be available shortly from schools throughout the Byron Shire.

Sign on days for players wishing to join Bangalow Jun-ior Rugby will be the 20th and 27th of February from 2.00pm to 4.00pm at the Bangalow Bowling Club, or on the adja-cent field.

For more information, con-tact David Phillips, President of Bangalow Junior Rugby on, 0412 080 614.

Byron boys in NSW State grand final Futsal winThree well known local sports-men have featured heavily in the Northern NSW Vikings Futsal (indoor soccer) Pre-mier League Grand Final win against Port Macquarie last weekend.

Jordy Campbell, Tim Knight and Thiago Priori, who play football for the highly suc-cessful Byron Rams Premier League team through the win-ter, teamed up together over summer to play Futsal to keep up their fitness and improve their ball skills.

The three have been playing in the very competitive Lismore first division competition and were selected into the Regional team called Lismore Dragons, with players from Ballina and Lismore as well.

The boys have racked up hundreds of kilometres play-ing about 20 games over the summer months, travelling to tournaments at regional cen-tres between Port Macquarie and Queensland

The players and their region-al team manager Rick Knight couldn’t contain their excite-ment and pride winning the Northern NSW TURSA Cup.

The win was even sweeter when the women’s Lismore Dragons regional team also won their Grand Final at the brilliant, brand new Yamba in-door sports complex in a close tussle.

The men’s representative team led the competition from the first round and were a mas-sive 14 points ahead of their closest rivals going into the Fi-nals after 20 games.

They have been wowing the crowds and dominating their opposition with their exciting ball skills, speed and free flow-ing play. Captain and coach, Brazilian ex-professional Thi-ago Priori of Byron Bay has been inspirational to the play-ers and injected real flair and style into the team tactics. The Representative men’s team is made up of a mixture of highly talented youth, like 16 year old Tim Knight from Federal and cool headed experienced players. Tim has been selected in 2 Australian Vikings Futsal Youth touring teams but this

has been his first open men’s representative competition. He has been an excellent teammate for Football Far North Coast Golden Boot winner Jordy Campbell of Byron Bay.

The football combinations the boys developed playing at the Rams have been invalu-able with their Futsal. Jordy has been an unstoppable goal scoring machine all through the competition.

The Dragons men’s team amassed an unbelievable aver-age of eight goals per game over the summer to totally outclass the other regional teams. How-ever at the finals last weekend it was a different story.

Last year’s champions Port Macquarie were planning an upset win to claim back to back Grand Final trophies and went into the preliminary semi fi-nal against the Dragons with

all guns blazing. However the Dragons traded goal for goal through the match and had to fight hard to secure a 7-6 win and a berth straight into the Grand Final.

The Grand Final was full of nervous tension and Port Mac-quarie was leading the Dragons 3-1 at half time, but two quick goals shortly after the break evened the score, putting fire back into the Dragons. Then they never looked back scoring another 5 and finally defeating Port Macquarie 8-3 to take the TURSA Vikings cup back to Lismore.

There’s no rest for the boys yet, with our regional team en-tered in the Pacific Regional tournament next week in Bris-bane. They will get the chance to test their skills against some of the best teams in the Pacific region.

Tim Knight on the attack against Coffs Harbour duirng a match at Tweed Heads.

‘Some people believe football is a matter of life and death, I am very

disappointed with that attitude.I can assure you it is much, much more

important than that.’Legendary soccer manager Bill Shankly.

This circumstance leads to

a variety of physical and

psychological ailments and

illnesses. Atlasprofi lax 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 fl ow 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.

This beautiful girl is lost. She was found in the Byron shire, de-sexed and micro-chipped, but

unfortunately the owners aren’t contactable. She is a tabby with white markings and

approximately 18 months old. Her situation is very sad and we would dearly love someone to give her a home this week. She needs to be the only cat in the household as she doesn’t get on with other cats. She does love human contact

and is a very loveable, affectionate and smoochy girl. She loves pats and cuddles and would

make a caring person a loyal companion for life. It is breeding season, and undesexed cats, driven by uncontrollable hormones, are out

roaming. If you have lost your cat, please phone the Byron Shire Rangers Offi ce 6626 7000.

A survey has found the Global Financial Crisis is a distant memory for most Australians,

who now believe the housing market is set to take off – again.

‘A surprising 73 per cent of respondents expect house prices to rise, which is the highest proportion for more than three years,’ said Phil Naylor, CEO, Mortgage and Finance Association of Australia (MFAA).

The MFAA/Bankwest Home Finance Index canvassed the opinion of 850 people on a range of issues relating to the economy and housing market.

‘Confidence in the housing mar-ket is not only pre-GFC – it’s back where it was during the height of the housing boom,’ Mr Naylor said.

‘But there are still some clouds on the horizon, with recent interest rate increases negatively impacting households,’ Mr Naylor said.

Mr Naylor said that 15.9 per cent of respondents are struggling to meet repayments – which is up from only 11.7 per cent in May 2009.

The survey found it was in the former boom state of Western Australia that most respondents claimed to be struggling in their repayments (25 per cent). The least number of people struggling to meet repayments was in NSW (20.6 per cent).

Head of Mortgages at Bankwest, Dean Gillespie, said the survey revealed a reversal of fortunes in WA and NSW.

‘The survey suggests that Australia’s two-speed housing mar-ket is alive and well,’ Mr Gillespie said. ‘It would appear that when it comes to the housing market and perceptions of economic condi-tions, NSW is leading the charge for the first time in years.’

Mr Gillespie said that respond-ents were divided about whether it is a good time to buy a new home, with 49.7 per cent thinking it is a good time.

‘Respondents from Queensland (41.4 per cent) were the least likely to think now was a good time to

buy, but South Australians were more optimistic with 63.6 per cent saying it was a good time to buy.’

Mr Gillespie said that when it comes to other cost of living pres-sures, borrowers said the cost of food was of greatest concern.

‘Over the last year there has been a reversal in burden of fuel versus food costs. People are saying that food prices are now taking a bigger bite out of the family budget,’ Mr Gillespie concluded.

A ‘healthy economy’In another report, an economic

and property snapshot produced by PRDnationwide reveals a healthy economy, increased numbers of new homes, but record debts. Figures

published in PRDnationwide’s Quarterly Economic & Property Report show business confidence has hit a seven year high and com-modities prices look set to soar.

The PRD-nationwide research director Aaron Maskrey said the report showed numbers of new dwellings increased in the third quarter by 21.2 per cent – or 6,439 new homes across Australia. ‘This increase is a much needed boost to ease pressures of housing across Australia,’ said Mr Maskrey.

The median house price in Australia climbed on average by 11.6 per cent in November – the highest level in 2009.

Darwin has recorded the biggest increase of 17.91 per cent while

Melbourne prices rose 16.97 per cent. Hobart remained the cheapest place to buy a home where the me-dian price currently sits at $310,050.

‘Overall rental rates have fallen due to the increased level of home buyers. But with property prices continuing to climb and interest rates increasing, 2010 should see the rental market tighten with lower vacancy rates leading to higher weekly rents,’ said Mr Maskrey.

Figures show mortgage, credit card and personal loan debts have hit $1.2 trillion – a record amount that has grown 71 per cent over the past five years. ‘This is the first time Australia has surpassed American levels of debt,’ said Mr Maskrey.

Housing confidence at three year high

inside:

POPULATION PRESSURESAnd in welcoming the release of the federal government’s third Intergenerational Report (IGR), the Housing Industry Association (HIA) saw the report as ‘a timely reminder of the enormous challenges already faced by many other advanced economies and that will increasingly be faced by Australia’. The IGR addresses the big picture issues affecting Australia’s social and economic prosperity over the next 40 years focusing heavily on the impact that an ageing population has on key expenditure areas such as health, aged care and superan-nuation. HIA managing director Shane Goodwin said that an increase in the Australian population by 2050 to 35.9 million people would necessitate building 7.1 million new dwellings. ‘Such construction would represent a large increase over the build-ing levels of the past 40 years and require annual building of over 30,000 dwellings per year in excess of 2009 levels.

‘Constructing over seven million new dwellings over the next 40 years raises many serious social and economic challenges. Where will these dwellings be located? Will these dwellings be adequately serviced by appropriate amenities and infrastructure? Will these new dwellings be affordable and appropriate for a more environmentally concerned society? ‘The challenges described in the IGR require that housing policy be placed front and centre of government policy over the coming years. Current building levels fall well below that required by such strong population growth. ‘Failure to address Australia’s severe lack of housing will inevitably lead to further long term erosion in housing affordability and inadequate shelter provided to those most at risk. Land supply issues, high levels of taxation on new housing at all levels of government, and a slow and highly constrained building approvals proc-ess continue to stymie the building industry from providing an adequate level of new housing now, much less over the next 40 years.’

56 February 9, 2010 The Byron Shire Echo www.echo.net.au

After repeated attempts to get a response from the Woolworths media spokesperson on plans for a Dan Murphy’s liquor store in Byron Bay – we sent him our news item of last week – none has materialised. It’s a bit like the Pentagon or the CIA really – a policy of neither confirm nor deny. In any case the DA for the liquor store under the Dendy Cinema is on public ex-hibition until February 15.

■ ■ ■ ■

And who can see the discon-nect in Woolies press release

‘Woolworths extends commit-ment to sustainable farming’ when it foists an unwanted and unsustainable sewage system onto Mullum?

■ ■ ■ ■

A recent L&E Court order has given some clarity as to what can be done and not done on the coastline – see article page 14. We suspect further excre-ment will hit the air condition-ing in relation to other beach-side developments before Byron Shire has a workable new LEP in place.

■ ■ ■ ■

North Byron Parklands, future home of the annual Splendour in the Grass music festival, is inviting Aboriginal groups and/or individuals with cultur-al attachments to North Ocean Shores/Yelgun ‘to participate in a consultation program as part of cultural heritage, archaeolog-ical and management studies to be undertaken in conjunc-tion with the Part 3A Environ-mental Assessment’. Aboriginal parties can register in writing by Thursday February 25 with Mat Morris, North Byron Park-lands, PO Box 517, Bangalow NSW 2479, or email mat@ northbyronshireparklands.com.

■ ■ ■ ■

The drug police have taken their chopper into the dan-gerous skies above Mullum in their annual eradication of the cannabis crop cultivated by various criminal entrepre-neurs. If you just decrimina-lised the stuff it would save

taxpayers a packet and wipe out the dealers immediately. We note the drug squad of-ficers now have a nifty black T-shirt with a logo containing the distinctive marijuana leaf. Will the vice squad now be demanding Ts with a fetching portrait of a hooker in a red split skirt?

■ ■ ■ ■

Speaking of vices, the fi-nancial comparison website Mozo.com.au offers you the opportunity to calculate the cost of your bad habits via its Vice Calculator at http://mozo.com.au/vice-calculator. According to the website the cost of Australian vices is over $1 billion, with $96m spent on booze and $21m on ciga-rettes. Strangely enough one of the favourite deadly sins, Lust, doesn’t get a category of its own. We recall the words of the late football star George Best: ‘I spent 98 per cent of my money on booze and women – the rest I wasted.’
