Small blocks spark big fearsDavid Lovejoy

Many Mullumbimby residents have expressed misgivings about the 90 hectare development known as Tal-lowood Ridge Estate along Left Bank Road. The 31 lots of the first stage are extremely small, some only 600m2, and although the full development may consist of 200 lots there will be no master plan released.

The fear is that piecemeal approval will set a precedent for tiny urban blocks to proliferate all through the building land available between Left Bank and Main Arm roads.

Mullumbimby resident Sheryl Har-per told The Echo, ‘Small urban blocks nearly three kilometres from the cen-tre of a small town are totally inappro-priate… Along the Tweed coast and in southeast Queensland there is a sea of metal roofs with barely room for a tree or a patch of greenery. It is ugly, inappropriate and environmentally unfriendly. Is this the sort of develop-ment we want to allow in our town?’

But developer Eric Freeman de-nies the lots are inappropriately small and maintains they are larger than required. He said on Monday that the lot size deliberately tests the pro-visions of the Mullumbimby Deve-lopment Control Plan (DCP), which specifies that ten per cent of a green-fields development should consist 450-550m2 lots, in the interests of affordable housing.

‘Council also wanted to resume five per cent of the land to build housing itself,’ said Mr Freeman, ‘but state laws do not allow this to be enforced.’

Instead Mr Freeman said he plans to provide integrated house and land packages in stage three of his deve-lopment. ‘Three bedroom homes on blocks 12x34m should sell for less than $400,000,’ he said.

The planning instruments under which development takes place are sometimes contradictory. Despite the DCP, Ms Harper points out that the Mullumbimby Settlement Strategy 2003 ‘specifically states in relation to the area in question that it should comprise “larger lot

sizes to reflect country lifestyle”.’Ms Harper said, ‘As you travel out

along Left Bank Road, the higher den-sity blocks currently stop at Tuckeroo Avenue and beyond that Maleuca and Brushbox Drives have lot sizes of around two acres or more. The pro-posed Tallowood development shares a ridge with these properties at the top

of Maleuca Drive, they are located on the very same hill!

‘What justification then can be gi-ven, other than the developer’s profit, for such a drastic reduction in the lot size literally a few metres from these existing developments?’

Mr Freeman says he is open to feedback from the community on his

plans and has arranged for a website (www.tallowoodridge.com.au) to go online shortly to facilitate comment.

Public submissions on stage one of the development close on Friday (August 28) and these may be sent to council@byron.nsw.gov.au quoting 10.2009.314.1.■ See letters, page 12.

Mothers to protestVictoria Cosford

The hours and funding of commu-nity health nurses are being cut by the North Coast Area Health Service and local mothers are not happy.

A group of them is organising a protest at the Bangalow Community Health Centre on Monday, August 31 at 10am.

Saving the sanity of first-time moth-ers is only one function of community health nurses. Two full time nurses in the Byron Shire were, up until about a year ago, on hand to cater to the many needs of mothers in the area – but since cutbacks in their hours and in the funding available a lot of women are feeling very anxious.

According to one of these women, Nicole Steel, there has been a dramatic increase in births in the Shire, averag-ing now around 366 a year, and she fails to comprehend why the reduced hours have not been reinstated. Along with shorter weeks for the two nurses has been an increase in their adminis-trative and bureaucratic workload.

Nicole, who gave birth to her first child six months ago, told The Echo that the previous ‘access to the two nurses made the women feel powerful and reassured.’

‘I don’t know,’ she said, ‘where I would have been without them…they made everything feel all right.’

Through the antenatal and early childhood classes at the Bangalow Community Health Centre she was able to forge a valuable network of friends, women who shared her ex-perience.

‘It’s a sad state of affairs’, declared Nicole, words echoed by another mother, Freyja Smith, who spoke about being ‘a first time mum with no clue about babies… these nurses have provided invaluable support to myself and numerous other mums in the Shire.’

A group of such mothers is organ-ising the peaceful protest and any similarly affected parents are invited to attend.

For the past three months consultants appointed by Byron Shire Council have been working with the Bruns-wick Heads community to develop a master plan for Tweed Street – the old Pacific Highway.

The process has produced 40 maps, including 15 from Brunswick Heads Public School students.

Malcom Price, from the consult-ants Social Habitat, said, ‘Over-whelmingly, responses have sup-ported slowing traffic, narrowing the road, reintroducing trees and making better, safer provision for

pedestrians and bike riders.’He said there was a clear indica-

tion that the central part of Tweed Street, between Booyun and Mul-lumbimbi Streets, should become a ‘marketplace’ linking it back to the commercial centre of town. Most proposals wanted to see the remain-der of the road revert to a slow, leafy village street.

A constantly updated storyboard on the project is on display at the Brunswick Heads Visitor Centre in Park Street.

There will be a series of meetings

for people to comment on the draft plans. These currently include the Chamber of Commerce, Monday Au-gust 31, 6pm at the Brunswick Heads Bowling Club, and the Progress As-sociation on Monday, September 7, 7pm at the Memorial Hall.

Council agreed in 2008 to fund a Tweed Street master plan to guide the makeover. In May 2009 Social Habitat was engaged to begin the planning process.

The proposed new look for Tweed Street will be presented to Council prior to going on public exhibition.

How do you visualise Tweed Street?

Local scout leader Marc Heyn-ing is hanging up his woggle for the last time after over 14 years and the 1st Mullumbimby are sad to see him leave.

Marc joined the group after one of his sons became a scout. After participating in a few ac-tivities as a parent, Marc soon became a leader in the group.

Marc, who is also a well -known local physician, was a huge asset to the troop which, as all scout groups do, has had its fair share of cuts, scrapes and stitches and the lines be-tween doctor and scout have often blurred as Marc has tended to many scouts over the years and has also turned up at the hospital in his scout uniform. He has actually de-livered four babies wearing his neckerchief and woggle.

‘I remember once having to ride in the ambulance to Lis-more with a woman in labour,’ says Marc. ‘When we got to Lismore Base, I escorted her into the delivery room. The midwife walked in and took one look at me and another at my scout uniform and point-edly asked what I thought I was doing. I told it was ok as I had my scout badge for first aid.’

Marc says that one of the best things about being a leader was getting to do everything first.

‘When we had adventure activities like the flying-fox, abseiling and high-rope walk-ing, I always told the kids I had to test it out for safety but in reality I was having first go! I have thoroughly enjoyed be-ing a part of the scouts and of this group.’

The children and other lead-ers have nothing but praise and appreciation for Marc, who over the years has held the group together through the good times and the rough, from when they had been down to two scouts to when their ranks swelled to 22. He continued to parade long after his three sons grew up and left the movement.

A cohort of present and passed scouts and parents gath-ered together on the weekend to farewell Marc with a BBQ and one last challenge – a rope walk, which someone suggest-ed that he could do with his eyes closed: so he did.

‘Marc has put a lot into scout-ing over the years,’ says Ben Phillips one of the four leaders at 1st Mullum. ‘He has taught a lot of kids who are out there in life using skills they picked up through being in scouts. He

has taught me a lot over the last seven years on leadership and scouting skills as well.’

Scouts is for boys and girls 10½ to 14 years, to learn re-sponsibility, life and safety skills, team work, leadership, endurance and have fun in the great outdoors and new scouts are always welcome.

Though Marc leaves behind shoes which will be very hard to fill, the group is now look-ing for another leader to join the group – the job descrip-

tion calls for someone who is energetic, adventurous and fun loving. The candidate can be male or female but as the three remaining leaders are blokes, they troop would love a female leader. All training provided.

Scouts meet Monday nights during school terms and some weekend camps and adven-tures. For more information about the local scouts or if you are interested in becoming a scout leader, contact Robyn on 6684 0231.

The fifth edition of the Com-munity Directory will be launched at the Byron Com-munity Centre on Tuesday September 1 at 5.30pm.

The Centre believes this information directory is an essential guide to the Byron Shire area with comprehensive listings of community, cultural, educational, government, health, sports and welfare organisations.

The Directory is a valuable asset used by a wide range of organisations, businesses

and individuals to access vital information from Aboriginal and Accommodation to Yoga and Youth.

The fifth edition will, for the first time, be available online at byronbay.com.au, while the hard copy is on sale for $20 from the Centre.

The launch will bring together Community Centre members, volunteers and staff along with representatives from many of the organisations listed in the Directory. Mayor Jan Barham will officiate.

Road accident claims localWell known restaurateur from Thai at Byron, Carolina Pitt, died tragically in a motor vehi-cle crash in the early hours of Saturday morning.

Shortly before 1am her vehi-cle was travelling north along Bangalow Road, Byron Bay, when it apparently crossed on to the wrong side of the road – narrowly missing an oncoming vehicle – and struck a power pole.

She was trapped for a short time before being freed by members of the Volunteer Rescue Association and was pronounced dead on arrival at the Byron Bay Hospital.

Her loss is not only to her family and friends but to the whole community at large. Ms Pitt was 56 years old.

Lawyer offers pro bono conferences

Eve Jeffery

Five years ago, a group of Ocean Shores residents who had bonded through organis-ing colourful and creative pro-tests, realised that they needed a community event to continue bringing people together, but without the ‘opposition’ one has when fighting for a cause.

The group came up with the idea of an Art Expo which would help express community ideas, ideals and local images, but in a free, positive and crea-tive way.

The first Art Expo was held in 2004 and the theme was ‘The Brunswick River Bridge’ which at the time was under threat of demolition by the RTA to make way for a new super highway.

One member of the com-mittee remembered paint-ing around the foreshores of Sydney in the ‘80s to find that in later years those paintings were historically valuable, as buildings and jetties had disap-peared to ‘progress’. The ideas and themes for subsequent Expo’s has been the the people and place in our community.

The theme for 2009 is the ‘Seeds of Change’ the idea is to give artists a chance to respond visually to the many changes that are taking place in every

aspect of our lives and to envi-sion changes we would like to see happen.

With the support of the Expo’s generous sponsors, the annual show and its related ac-tivities has consistently provid-ed a high quality event for all the community. Professional artists to beginners and kids to the elderly are welcome to enter artworks. Every kids’ age group is awarded prizes.

Judges present the adult awards in five categories at the

Launch Party which this year is 7pm on Friday, September 18 at the Ocean Shores Com-munity Centre.

Over the Expo weekend art lovers and buyers have a chance to appreciate and buy affordable art from a huge vari-ety of styles, sizes and prices.

During the show there are history presentations by a lo-cal historian. Local musicians give free performances, com-munity art projects are created and artists demonstrate paint-

ings from start to finish.A true community event, the

Expo has expanded every year, with over 180 artworks and $3,500 in art prizes in 2008, and more than 1,000 people attending.

All are invited to attend the launch party and the Expo weekend to participate in this cultural event and entries for the show close this Friday. For more information on the Expo and how to enter, visit the web-site at: www.osartexpo.com.

Fifth annual Art Expo shapes up

Victoria Cosford

Eureka solicitor Jonathon Tyn-dall’s offer of pro bono legal conferences has so far proven of significant benefit to its re-cipients.

Conducted at Newrybar’s Harvest Cafe on Monday mornings, they are one-on-one sessions each lasting around two hours.

According to Jonathon, of the 21 conferences he has conducted, all except one have resulted in the participants having ‘a better idea of how to resolve their problem’ and agreeing that ‘the pro bono cafe is a great idea.’

Most of the conferences deal with the fears and anxieties as-sociated with bankruptcy and/or loss of income, with major causes of stress cited as interest rates and repayments, reports of the grim economic outlook,

unfair dismissal from work and discrimination.

Jonathon told The Echo that ‘participants had been unable to obtain a grant of legal aid due to (a failure) to meet LAC criteria (and are) all economi-cally disadvantaged or margin-alised persons.’

He has conducted five out of the eight conferences planned, including follow-up work on matters arising in conference.

With three more to go over the ensuing three Mondays (from August 24), he would like to encourage the commu-nity to access this magnificent service, and ‘address those fears’.

What makes this personally taxing work so worthwhile to Jonathon is that ‘the outcome has been very positive.’

To contact Jonathon call 6688 2492 or 0439 651 813, or visit his website tyndall.net.au.

Hans Lovejoy

So how is Ric Richardson deal-ing with the media frenzy? When the news broke in the US that he was awarded half a billion dollars from a Microsoft court case, all the media golia-ths wanted a piece.

‘Along the way I got used to the idea that this will happen,’ he told The Echo. Instead of A Current Affair, Ric opted for ABC’s Australian Story, which he says provided him with a unique way to share the experi-ence and his life as an inventor.

‘With Australian Story there weren’t interviews,’ he says, ‘and the producer made me feel comfortable. That let me talk more openly and personally.’

The Australian Story episode features the relatively new By-ron identity and the company he founded in 1992 called Uniloc.

Piracy preventionUniloc enables software

companies to prevent pirating of their programs. It features machine-fingerprinting and implements multiple types and layers of protection like encryp-tion, obfuscation and trip wires. IBM liked it, as did many others, however Microsoft infringed on his patent which led to the court case and payout.

The film and music industries’ financial damage from piracy can be attributed to outdated business models unable to keep up with technology. Most are ‘unit shifting’ companies that in the past relied on physical sales when now the opportunity ex-ists for digital.

‘There are more polite tech-nological ways of slowing down the sharing of music and film,’ says Ric.

‘The problem is current technology is either on or off; it’s a black and white attitude. There is no fair use, like shar-ing with family and friends. In the end you irritate the people who want to do the right thing, or you force the people to pay but know there are others who aren’t paying. I designed soft-ware so you could try out the

software rather than having to buy it outright. That minimis-es copy abuse. By monitoring every copy with full licences it can open the gates for illegal copies.’

When asked if he plans to spend his money in philan-thropic ways such as buying up apartment blocks and knocking them down for parklands, he laughs.

‘I had a look around at op-portunities for investment; however, my area is inventions and technology which is where I prefer to work. My wife and I already donate to causes, which we prefer to keep private, and we have set aside enough for ourselves. We don’t want to use the money to live an exorbitant lifestyle.’

Clearly my grand ideas for fixing the Shire’s railways and a piano bar will go unheeded.

‘And besides,’ he says, ‘I’m only 47 and haven’t retired yet. Currently I am focusing on the next inventions and working on fast tracking them to being a reality.’

Ric says that the obstacle for inventors is generally dealing with the money men, and those men are in the US.

‘It’s about learning how to deal with the US,’ he says.

‘It slows down the process when money becomes involved. By the time an invention be-comes wider knowledge and used by the population, it usu-

ally takes a decade or so.‘Australia’s market is as big as

the San Diego and LA counties, and despite it being an impres-sive market from Australia, they look at it in those terms.’ Ric says he is actively involved with helping inventors get a better chance of success there, though he says more Australian invest-ment is needed.

Worship of youth‘The US also relies on

“schooled” education and as-sume that you need it to make breakthroughs. People would often ask me where I got edu-cated. They couldn’t believe that I only had a high school educa-tion.’

The worship of youth in the US also causes obstruction of good ideas and innovations ac-cording to Ric.

‘I am amazed how smart older people are relegated. My mentors are all older than me and all the top consultants that I employ are around my age.’

The line between inventor and marketing the invention does not always create the best outcome for quality, he says.

‘The lightbulb by Edison is a great example. The original lightbulb design can last a hun-dred years yet we are sold ones that last six months. Once mass produced, it is out of the hands of the the inventor.’

Life in the US in the past twelve years was lucrative says

Ric. However. it was taxing on his health so the change of lifestyle in Byron is obviously a welcome one.

‘My business always went well in US for me, and the com-pany was well funded. Byron is one of the most healthy envi-ronments around, and health is now a priority while I still focus on inventing. With Skype and video conferencing I can com-municate with experts all over the world.’

All that while parked in a ‘mobile office’ van overlook-ing some of the most stunning beaches in the world.

Australian Story aired this week on ABC1 on Monday and

tonight (Tuesday) on ABC2.

Mullumbimby High School teacher Donna Pearson has been rewarded for her dedica-tion to teaching and the envi-ronment with the Premier’s En-ergy Australia Environmental Education Scholarship.

The Premier’s Teacher Schol-arships is an initiative of the NSW Government in which teachers have a unique op-portunity to undertake further professional development that will benefit them and most im-portantly their students.

All NSW teachers from Gov-ernment and non-Government schools, as well as TAFE NSW Institutes are eligible to apply for the Premier’s Teacher Schol-arships. The program promotes an outcome where teachers will return to the classroom with new and inspired ideas, teach-ing methods and knowledge.

Those selected to receive a scholarship can undertake in-ternational study tours and visit some of the world’s best schools and centres of education to ex-pand their knowledge and un-derstanding of key topic areas.

This year, 24 teachers from schools throughout the state received a Premier’s Teacher Scholarship, covering 12 cur-riculum areas.

Donna with her daughter Carey and Mullum High’s Prin-cipal Ian Graham attended a re-ception in the gardens of Gov-

ernment House overlooking Sydney Harbour recently, where they met with the New South Wales Premier Nathan Rees, the sponsors of her scholarship En-ergy Australia, members of the Premier’s department and other scholarship winners.

Since the program began in 1999, 293 teachers across NSW have received scholarships and Ms Pearson is absolutely over the moon with her scholarship and will leave on her trip to Eu-

rope late in the year.‘The purpose of my study

tour is to investigate effective management and leadership of whole-school approaches to Education for Sustainabil-ity Development (ESD),’ said Donna after the awards.

‘I will be visiting schools that have effective leadership of whole-school programs in En-vironmental Education. I will visit schools in Bonn, Ham-burg, England and Glasgow and I will be visiting organisations and government departments which support schools in the implementation of programs and in developing leadership capacity.’

Part of the tour will include a meeting with Bianca Bigram from UNESCO in Bonn and Eco Coordinators in South-wark Council in London and Glasgow Council. In addition Donna will be attending a na-tional conference on Devel-oping Sustainable Schools in London.

‘My aim is to examine the vital role of school leaders and leadership styles in develop-ing and implementing holistic programs to ensure ESD. It will build on resources already pro-duced to implement and sup-

port effective environmental education programs at Mul-lumbimby High School.’

Donna says that the coun-tries selected for the tour, offer a wealth of experience in the development of exemplary pol-icies and successful programs in ESD.

In the interim it is business as usual at Mullum High as the school’s Environmental Educa-tion Action Group are deciding on the winner of the Eco Short Film competition which the school ran recently.

‘We are planning on having an Eco Awards night in the same vein as the Hollywood Oscars,’ says Donna. ‘The cer-emony will take place on Tues-day September 15 at 7 pm and special guests and entrants will get to walk the green carpet.’

Tickets for the awards will be on sale at the school and the audience will get to see the marvellous films made by our students and be entertained by some of our very talented stu-dents. The night is being sup-ported by Byron Shire Council and SAE.

Seats for the show are $10 for adults, $5 for students and concession and $25 for a fam-ily of four.

It’s not always easy as a parent who wants the best for their children to make sure their child develops the skills they will need to manage their own behaviour and grow into happy and successful adults.

The Byron Shire, as a community has a high level of interest in the wellbeing of children and many people actually come here to give birth or raise a young family due to its natural environment and supportive community who are interested in better methods of birthing, raising and educating children.

There are many resources and support networks that are available to parents in our community. They offer help and guidance in positive parenting and support to families when they encounter difficulties and challenges.

The Byron Shire Council’s website has links to many other websites that provide information for parents www.byron.nsw.gov.au/families/parenting/website. The Council also auspices the Care Parent Support Program which is funded by Department of FaHSCSIA (see advertisement on this page).

C.A.R.E. Parent Support ProgramCONNECTION is what we all look for and thrive on, mostly unconsciously. Parenting was never intended to be done by a couple in a nuclear family. Isolation is a major factor behind post natal depression. Evidence shows cultures that use cooperative parenting do better on child wellbeing.Connectedness is about emotional authenticity; listening with empathy and expressing with emotional openness. Compiled by Robin Grille and presented in simple language, the Heart2Heart education program includes up-to-date child development, gained from attachment research, social learning theory and neuropsychology. For any parent, the capacity for healthy attachment with their children is linked to a parent’s own attachment

history, and current availability of emotional and practical support. Authentic sharing helps parents bond with each other, creates lasting friendships and cooperative parenting in communities.For further information call Sofi Thomson on 6685 9344 or mobile 0418 274 088.

Late winter every year the quilt-makers come to the light-house.

All women, there are usu-ally around fifteen of them, ages ranging from 40-some-thing to 70-something, com-ing to Byron Bay from vari-ous places like Banora Point and the Gold Coast and Mur-willumbah.

They come to quilt in two of the lighthouse cottages where

for ten years they have had a permanent annual book-ing. Over their long weekend they will put together each of the squares they have in-dividually, painstakingly and beautifully been working on: the result will be raffled or auctioned to a nominated charity.

This year the women, all members of the Tweed Coast

Embroiderers’ Guild, have completed their sixth quilt. Each 10”x10” square – creamy shades of pale gold and beige, like the delicate insides of shells – is a gorgeously detailed little work of art, some more elabo-rate than others.

‘It’s what they call crazy patchwork’, quilter Ellen Car-berry told The Echo, although there seems nothing crazy

about the careful intricate stitching that has gone into the quilt.

Nelda from Murwillumbah spins the wool she uses for her squares from the wool of nine alpacas she owns. They make beautiful wall-hangings, the women said.

The one in the picture will be raffled at the Tweed Hospi-tal Auxiliary Fete on Saturday October 10.

Even though the weekend is mostly about embroidery there are other little rituals the women observe.

On Saturday night they always walk up to the light-house. At twelve o’clock, mid-day, they down tools and pour a glass of champagne. Meals take the form of ‘five star’ casseroles, luscious gourmet meals prepared in advance and brought with them to the cottages.

Coral Gough, who told The Echo she has been coming up to the lighthouse for over sev-enty years, noted how much the cottages had been ‘tarted up’ over the years the group has been coming, the decor improving with each visit.

As much about the comfort of tradition, theirs is a story of the friendship of women and the way they unite through the creation of something lovely that is then given to a worthy cause.

These fun outdoor sessions are for women

only, they consist of both cardio and strength

components, working every major muscle group in

the body.

Frank scores for Alberto

Of the more than 100 photos chosen to hang in the pres-tigious Olive Cotton portrait prize, Byron’s Alberto Sanchez was the only regional photo-grapher judge Dean Sewell chose to highly commend.

Sanchez said, ‘It was on a cold winter’s day in January and I happened to be in Ma-drid with my brother walking about when I noticed a coat hanger on the footpath in front of an old shop.

‘There was no signs or any indication of what was going on so I just went in for a look, only to discover Frank in the corner of this old furniture shop watching the tele, ignor-ing me and for that matter, the world around him.’

In commenting on the

image, Dean Sewell said, ‘In Alberto Sanchez’s Frank we share in the reserved con-sideration of his execution the intimacy and quiet so palpable, one can almost hear the humming coils of Frank’s electric bar heater.

‘This is complemented by the multi-layering of textures and the subtle hues of his confinements – the patterned wall paper, the terracotta bricks that anchor his vice and its transporting glow.

‘In this, we the viewers, are ourselves transported to southern Spain.’

The Olive Cotton exhibition of photographic portraits will hang at the Tweed River Art Gallery in Murwillumbah until September 27.

Comment

When is a coalition not a coalition? When it’s a colli-

sion. But a collision of what?

Of principles, ideology and policy, or simply of egos? This is the question the Libs and the Nats are going to have to resolve, and pretty quickly, if they are going to present any-thing resembling a double act for the next election.

The Nationals conference at the weekend shouted it for all to hear: they’ve had enough and they’re just not going to take it any more. ‘It,’ presum-ably, is being compelled in the name of coalition unity to compromise or even abandon positions which they believe are basic to their rural con-stituents.

The peg on which this cloak of defiance has been hung is, of course, emissions trad-ing policy. Malcolm Turnbull stated the Liberal position (or at least what he hopes will be accepted as the Liberal posi-tion) on Saturday: assuming some version of the scheme is passed this year – which means the Libs would have to vote for it in the Senate – then he, in government, would re-serve the right to amend it.

This was not enough for the Nationals and their de facto leader Barnaby Joyce: the Nats will oppose it at every stage and if it does get through, they will seek not to amend it but to dismantle it. He may, of course, find this process a bit difficult; remember Kim Bea-zley’s promise to roll back the GST, a promise which eroded with the effluxion of time. But it was certainly what the Na-tional rank and file wanted to hear.

Climate change policy is

probably harder to sell in the bush to begin with; for starters, there are more sceptics. After all, the farmers have seen the weather patterns come and go, and they know that a drought always ends eventually, and until it does there’s govern-ment aid. Let the city folk fret about rising sea levels, it’s not a problem in the outback. So why should the threat of an extra tax hang over them?

Under the Kyoto protocol, which Australia belatedly signed, agriculture will be in-cluded in calculation of car-bon emissions – and therefore in any trading scheme – from 2012. But setting a level will not be easy. There is no doubt that the burps and farts of ru-minants are one of the big-gest sources of emissions, but who wants to measure them? Equally planting crops has to be some sort of offset, but for some edible crops the benefit is only short term. Undoubt-edly agriculture in Australia is a nett emitter, and farmers, like other heavy polluters, will expect free, or at least subsi-dised, permits.

The Nats, preferring to cut through, want to exempt ag-riculture altogether; but that would not be acceptable in-ternationally and would invite retaliation from our trading partners. So the easiest solu-tion of all is simply to junk the scheme altogether and reach

of the genie in the bottle la-belled nuclear power. This, essentially, was the conclu-sion the Nats reached over the weekend.

Significantly Joyce, who has been driving the debate, became the spokesman; the real leader, the near-invisible Warren (Rupture) Truss was reduced to a very pedestrian speech bagging the govern-ment which received mini-

mal coverage. Which brings us back to the question: how much of the looming split is really about policy and how much about sheer psychologi-cal domination?

In Malcolm Turnbull and Barnaby Joyce we have two alpha males in full political rut. And while opposites in so many ways, they have a key quality in common: they are both outsiders, relative new-comers to the parliament, with an urgent need to prove themselves to their followers.

Turnbull, the silvertail city slicker, the streetsmart bank-er and lawyer, is the walking nightmare of every mortgage-ridden cocky and of the rural shopkeepers who depend on his trade. The fact that Turn-bull is actually a country land-holder himself (well, he has a very beautiful and mortgage-free retreat in the Hunter Val-ley) only adds to the horror.

Joyce on the other hand is the ultimate country cousin,

the eccentric hayseed who presents as an easy mark but whose down-to-earth good sense eventually triumphs, Henry Lawson’s archetypal bastard from the bush. When he arrived in Canberra many people felt that he would soon follow the example of his fel-low Queensland maverick, Bob Katter and move to the cross-benches as a country independent; but instead he ascended to the leadership of his party in the senate, while still refusing to sit in Turn-bull’s shadow cabinet. Thus he enjoys most of the benefits of party membership with none of the constraints. Power with-out responsibility, perhaps, but power nonetheless.

And Turnbull does not know how to handle him. Many cen-turies ago Aesop wrote the fa-ble of the town mouse and the country mouse, each of whom envied the other his home. The townie thought his cousin led a simple life, with food in abundance and few dangers, while the yokel imagined the city to be a bed of luxury where no effort was needed to succeed. So they swapped roles for a week. Neither could manage the change, and each returned to his natural habitat admitting privately that it was the other who did it tough.

This story has many morals, but one is obviously that there really is a difference between Sydney and the bush, and that the best politicians from each environment learn to rec-ognise it and accommodate. Turnbull and Joyce haven’t, and therein lies at least part of their problem.

And until they do, the über-rodent Kevin Rudd will con-tinue to enjoy the best of both worlds.

Giant retail chain Woolworths is determined to make improve-ments to Mullumbimby. The little town currently has only two small supermarkets (although Woolworths itself in effect controls one of them – ‘Mallams’), and from the corporate perspective it clearly needs a city-style food outlet. Unhappy with the decision of Byron Shire Council that the land it intends to develop cannot handle on-site waste water disposal (sewer connection must wait until a new sewage treatment plant is built), and convinced that the town badly needs its presence, Woolworths is appealing Council’s decision in the Land and Environment Court.

Visitors and residents alike are deluded, the appeal implies, when they think that Mullumbimby is doing well. Although it is easy to believe, when looking around the town on a market day under the winter sunshine, that few rural communities function with as much harmony and prosperity as Mullumbimby, in fact the seemingly vibrant and diverse economy is on the brink of disaster, and only the urgent construction of a large shopping complex on the edge of town can arrest the decline. This is the gist of Wool-worths’ PR and also the gist of what Mallams’ management told The Echo after they arranged to sell the site and business. According to them, Mallams’ motive wasn’t profit but concern for the future of the town; now Woolworths feels a similar altruism and insists on bringing us the benefits of cheap convenience foods.

On its merits the appeal to the Land and Environment Court should fail, although who knows what other factors may be in play. But even if Woolworths has to wait a couple of years for the sewer to be provided, it is clear that the company will not give up its goal of building a big square box on the outskirts of town (in a narrow residential road) and thereby ridding Mullumbimby of the inconvenience of small independently-owned shops in the high street – just as it has done in other places.

If you are a resident or regular visitor who thinks the town is fine as it is, there is work to be done. A boycott of the new Wool-worths when it is built has been mooted, but although this was successful for a while in Maleny, the corporate juggernaut can afford to outlast such displays of public dissatisfaction; if nothing else, the boycotters will eventually die of old age. Better some-how to persuade the company, before it invests any more money, that a Mullumbimby store will be a longterm public relations headache for its shareholders. The community needs help to find ways to resist, and now is a good time to start thinking outside the square.

Rally loomsOn the anniversary of the Tera-nia forest protest which suc-ceeded in preserving unique subtropical rainforest for all to share, the people of the Tweed and Kyogle shires are asking the people of the Byron Shire to stand with us to peacefully pro-test the inappropriate car races through National Parks adja-cent to World Heritage rainfor-est which go under the banner of ‘Repco Rally Australia’.

Like you, we are fed up with the random imposition of state legislation (in this case subvert-ing no less than 12 previously enacted laws) leading to de-struction of all we hold dear – our uniquely biodiverse habitat which share with our uniquely biodiverse fellow creatures and equally diverse fellow humans.

As someone who has worked in the Shire, I know it is hard for Echo readers to step outside the Byronian comfort zone but it will be an educative and em-powering experience to stand up and be counted. We will be wearing white to signal the pu-rity of our intention and the im-portance of a healthy environ-ment to the web of life, and we have arranged a culture camp for September 4-6 where you can stay and meet the indig-enous custodians of our region while taking in the breathtaking backdrop of Mt Warning and the caldera.

Let’s do some real caring for country together!

Recap on Splendour issue■ Dave Mullen (Letters, Au-gust 18), are you totally seri-ous in criticising CONOS for taking legal action to stop the Splendour trial at North Ocean Shores?

Let me explain. The trial fes-tival would have gone ahead if CONOS had not taken action. Bob was simply saying that the trial was never the ultimate intention and in Splendour’s own statements they have said that at least four major and a number of minor festivals a year is their plan.

Planting a few trees and do-ing a land swap (no, not giving) with DECC is just greenwash when taking into considera-tion the effect that 25,000 peo-ple a day by multiple weeks per year will have on the local wildlife and wildlife corridor, not to mention the strain on local infrastructure.

The organisation, CONOS, that you so flippantly dispar-age, is the very reason why the Billinudgel Nature Reserve came into being in the first place.

I could say, Dave, that if you are so enthusiastic about the benefits the festival will bring you why not in your backyard? However, after considering the pain that locals at Sunrise go through each year, I am re-thinking whether Splendour has any appropriate place in Byron at all. I think it has out-grown and out-trashed us. And they want to impose on us three more a year! No thanks, mate.

Mac NicolsonNorth Ocean Shores

■ Mr Fantin and Mr Mullen (Letters, August 18) seem to have been misled by some well crafted spin about the benefits of a proposed festival site at Yelgun.

To clear things up a little, the Byron Ratepayers Association,

CONOS, the Coalition For Fes-tival Sanity in Byron, represent the hundreds of people who at-tended two packed meetings at the Ocean Shores Community Centre in 2007 to object to the planned move of the Splendour in the Grass festival to Yelgun. The Byron Ratepayers Assoc, CONOS and the Coalition for Festival Sanity also represent the 504 people who sent sub-missions to Council stating their objections to festivals at the Yelgun site.

Two former councillors who were in favour of festivals at Yelgun were not re-elected in 2007. The majority of Byron councillors elected were against festivals at Yelgun. The com-munity has clearly spoken.

These are the cold, hard facts and irrefutable evidence of the strong feeling in the commu-nity which will be impacted on by festivals at Yelgun. Not to mention the wildlife who don’t have a voice.

If that isn’t enough, the Land and Environment court ruled that building an access road through protected 7k habitat zone is prohibited and the site is environmentally and cultur-ally sensitive. Which is exactly what the community has been saying.

The land ‘transfer’ Mr Mul-len mentions would actually be a land exchange between North Byron Shire Parklands and National Parks and Wild-life. Without this exchange of land the development could not proceed. The planting at the site and the placement of nesting boxes for wildlife was done with the help of volun-teers and a generous $100,000 grant of public money.

The bottom line is that this festival has a huge impact on Byron Bay as evidenced by the numbers of letters in local pa-pers following the Splendour festival from residents talking

about the noise, traffic grid-lock, and the behaviour of in-toxicated and drugged people using the town as a rubbish tip and toilet.

It’s understandable that By-ron Bay residents would want this activity moved out of their town, but moving it to a com-pletely unsuitable site is not the answer. Once the precedent is set there is nothing to stop any-one buying rural land for use as a festival site. Many residents in quiet rural areas could pos-sibly be impacted by a festival next door to them.

The question must be asked why should this (or any activ-ity) be moved to a sensitive en-vironmental and cultural site? There are no shops for supplies, no beach, no transport, no ambulance or hospital. People who may be affected by alco-hol or drugs have to drive to everything. There are no local services to deal with any pos-sible accident or worse.

It’s clear no one in Byron Shire wants this activity on the property next door to them. Instead of allowing festivals to grow unfettered, our political representatives and the com-munity should be doing all we can to limit the size and im-pact of festivals on the com-munity and the environment. The ideal site for festivals is the new community owned Sports and Cultural site at Ewingsdale, which is close to all facilities.

Our local and state political representatives must listen to the community. This is what we pay them for and it ap-plies particularly to the state Minister for Planning. We will not accept out of touch politi-cians, especially those who are hostage to developer dollars, imposing this potentially dis-astrous activity on our com-munity and the environment.

What Council fundsThe Echo is spot on in its edito-rial (August 18) encouraging people to support the Byron Bay Community Association (BBCCA) in its time of need. Even better would be the locals who make up the Byron Bay community, whose local com-munity centre is facing finan-cial difficulty, to pitch in and contribute funds.

What I have learnt in my first year as a Councillor is that Byron Shire is only relatively small in terms of land, popula-tion and therefore rate base, yet it has more than its fair share of assets to manage, including the most rural roads per square kilometre in Australia. Roads on steep slopes in a high rain-fall area means a very expensive maintenance program and yet we know how poor many of our roads and bridges remain.

Our Shire has 569km of roads, about 90 causeways, many bridges, sporting fields, swimming pools and build-ings to maintain, not to men-tion cemeteries and sewage treatment plants to look after and childcare, youth and aged services to support. And it has recently bought land into to-day’s market for community and other purposes, and is developing affordable housing sites, plus streets and dunnies to clean and beaches to main-tain and cycle ways to build.

So I think it’s a bit rich for the paid manager of the BBCCA to

tell a Council managing con-siderable assets and providing extensive social services across the whole Shire that ‘Council is about more than roads, rates and rubbish’ and that Coun-cil should basically ignore its budget process and approved management plan and find $80,000 to help an independ-ent association pay their tax bill. Indeed.

The history at the Youth Ac-tivity Centre in the Bay, where Council contributed over $200,000 to renovations to a building it does not own to a people who had no leases, only to have the owner, the Dept of Lands, sit back and say thank you very much, is a lesson learnt, let’s hope not repeated.

Just as the good people of places such as Suffolk Park, South Golden Beach, Federal, Mullumbimby and Ocean Shores hopefully would sup-port their local community centre in times of need, so we’d like to think that the good peo-ple of down town Byron Bay, Wategos, Belongil and Skinners Shoot et al, could financially rescue their local community centre in their time of need and not demand the rest of the Shire, via their rates, to financially bail out an independent association managing the most expensive community centre on Public Trust land (not Council land) in the Shire. Ratepayers have already given over $522,000 for the building in the past, plus rate relief for many years, contributions BBCCA manage-ment conveniently ignore.

Café passingAs a frequent visitor to The Pass, I am sad to hear the café is to be closed while consulta-tion occurs.

It’s one of the joys of By-ron to sit with a cappucino in a natural setting while my teenagers surf. I’ve seen many young people employed at the café over the years, so there go a few jobs for a year at least.

Sure, consult – and maybe give the toilet a refurb – but please don’t go chrome and ‘up-market’. Many of us like the un-obtrusive facility the way it is.

In the interests of consisten-cy I hope for a similar shutting

down of business (and con-sultation) re the hourly 4WD and power boat intrusion that interrupts an otherwise idyllic aesthetic at The Pass.

Marianne CannonSuffolk Park

Cultural CentreThe need for a functional and affordable cultural centre has never been more pressing. The plan of management for the Ewingsdale sports fields and ‘cultural complex’ is somewhat woolly in its definitions of ‘culture’. The only certainty is yet another sports field within minutes of Bangalow and By-ron’s existing facilities.

With 14.5 million in the kitty there can be no resistance to in-vesting a portion in a permanent structure large enough to ac-commodate art shows, cultural festivals and community music and dance events of moderate size. A structure which provides a year round presence for the thousands of artists, musicians, film makers and performers in this region and a focussed point of sale for the creative arts would be an enormous asset to our community.

The inclusion of workshop facilities would permit a vigor-ous program of skill develop-ment in all facets of the arts and present endless opportunities for the creative youth of our Shire. A landscaped sculpture garden with a bookshop/coffee shop dedicated to the arts could be integrated with a cultural museum to honour the indig-enous people of the region and to showcase Byron’s history.

Many residents of the Shire baulk at the idea of limiting our ‘cultural’ investment to ball sports and sausage sizzles. Time to move the goal posts perhaps?

■ Has anybody else wondered about the grey ashes falling like snowflakes over Mullumbimby? Or had headaches from the mas-sive camphor laurel bonfires?

If the activities on the pro-posed Tallowood Ridge Estate are a demonstration of Mr Eric Freeman’s caring for the plan-et, I feel concerned. The ru-moured 400 or so houses will call for some earth-friendly de-sign that will reduce oil needs instead of increasing it. Take cars for instance; how about replacing that need with a tram that loops right around the de-velopment and includes Main Arm Road, Left Bank Road and Shearwater School?

A master plan for the whole scheme that shows ecological consciousness is surely and sorely needed. Grassroots bot-tom-up Obama-style commu-nity involvement is probably the only way we’ll get it. The alternative is more headaches.

Deborah LillyMullumbimby

■ It is imperative to have your say in the Tallowood Estate subdivision. This proposed development, located between Left Bank Road and Coral Ave-nue, will increase the township of Mullumbimby by 240-320 houses or nearly 1,000 peo-ple. A population increase of around 25 per cent!

The DA on submission is

for stage 1, which is 31 blocks, just the tip of the development iceburg. As a community we deserve full disclosure on the complete subdivision, not just 10%. This way we can create suitable development to com-plement Mullum’s character (we all know development is inevitable, so let’s do the best we can.) Only when the Master Plan of the whole site of around 90 hectares is on the table can we assess issues of traffic, inter-section upgrades, flood mitiga-tion, flood free access, sewer-age, power, water, open space, sports fields, the proposed com-munity centre, storm water run off, bush fire risk, threatened species habitat, koala corridors, developer contributions, re-gionally significant farmland.

These issues are required to be addressed by various legal planning instruments to realise the subdivisions full potential. Don’t have the wool pulled over your eyes by a 31 block DA. This is part of Mullumbimby’s biggest subdivision and the ad hoc ‘staged’ approach without over all planning and full scru-tiny will be a disaster.

In your submission, due this Friday, demand full disclosure by the developer submitting the master plan and also state no development consent is granted to connect to the Council sewer system until a second distinct DA is lodged after the sewerage

upgrade. For help in writing a submission, which is due this Friday, go to mullumaction.org Speak up now so Tallowood Es-tate will benefit our town and not just one developer.

Dave RawlinsMullumbimby Creek

■ The acrid pall of smoke over Mullum this week, due to the burning off of huge piles of wood on the Tallowood De-velopment, seemed pretty con-sistent with the way the whole development is being foisted onto the community.

I wonder if locals are aware that the largest residential de-velopment in Mullum’s history is currently being bulldozed into existence. Two hundred blocks are to be released for sale in stages, many only 600m2 to 700m2 in size. Two hundred more houses means up to four hundred more cars hunting for a park in town (not to worry, they can shop at Woollies – don’t think we’ve heard the end of that saga!).

As with the Woolies affair, Tallowood developers seem to think that the sewage needs of our 800 new residents can be met with on-site gravity-fed sewage processing. I don’t know much about sewage pro-cessing, but the ‘gravity-fed’ bit is a concern, since the lowest points on the site were under-water during our last flood.

Has there been any public debate about such a significant change to our community? Is such concentrated housing ap-propriate on the rural margins of our town? I welcome new-comers, but we need to know there is the infrastructure to support them and that the de-velopment is in keeping with what the community values.

We voted in a green Council. Tiny blocks filled with brick and concrete that periodical-ly seep sewage don’t seem to fit the bill. Concerned locals should write to Council quick smart before August 28.

ing to polarise communities are keen to correct errors of fact, and unsubstantiated allegations.

Some people may have a philosophical opposition to water fluoridation but once the science behind it is understood, then it is possible to see its mer-its and why it is indeed proven safe, effective and equitable.

The NHMRC is Austral-ia’s peak health body for the achievement of the best possi-ble standards for individual and public health. In 2007, it com-missioned an exhaustive review to evaluate scientific data on fluoridation and concluded:

‘Fluoridation of drinking wa-

ter remains the most effective and socially equitable means of achieving community wide exposure to the caries [decay] prevention effects of fluoride. It is recommended that water be fluoridated in the target range of 0.6 to 1.1mg/L, depending on climate, to balance reduc-tion of dental caries and occur-rence of dental fluorosis.’

It is worth looking at toxicol-ogy closely. It grew from the studies of Paracelsus in Germa-ny in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. He observed that it is the dose that determines the toxicity of any substance. In other words, depending on

its size a dose can be harm-less, therapeutic or poisonous. Since the 1930s the therapeutic dose of fluoride in water has been known to be one part per million (1 ppm) and allowing for ingestion of fluoride from all possible sources it poses no health risk.

To argue that fluoride is a medicine because it is thera-peutic is fallacious. Many things are therapeutic with-out being medicines. A good night’s sleep, massage therapy and regular exercise are some examples of therapies which have nothing to do with medi-cine. Fluoride is the thirteenth

most common element on earth. In 2006, the NHMRC, Australian Government De-partment of Health and Age-ing and New Zealand Ministry of Health included fluoride as a nutrient in the Nutrient Refer-ence Values for Australia and New Zealand including Rec-ommended Dietary Intakes.

A fuller response to the ‘Freedom of Choice’ article can be found at www.fluoridenow.com.au. It is inevitable, how-ever, that while there are con-cerns amongst a minority of the community (a three year ran-dom survey of 10,000 people in NSW and published in 2007

showed more than 87 per cent of the population supports it) and these are aired publicly, it is important for health authori-ties to correct errors of fact.

Keeping workers busyHaving lived in the Byron Shire for many years now, I have no-ticed the regularity with which Council workers repair our pot-holed streets. Turning up with shovel in hand and a truck load-ed with bitumen to throw into the holes. Sometimes tramping them in with their boots or leav-ing it raised up for the traffic to smooth them over.

As a result we end up with lumps and bumps which either stay that way or soon turn into craters again with the constant flow of traffic digging the holes out once again. Not to mention the joy of having tar splattered all over your car every few weeks!

The crest at the top of Rajah Road just up from the rounda-bout in Ocean Shores is a prime example of their handiwork. Nothing smooth about it, just lumps and bumps left behind to soon turn back into holes once again.

Why does this happen? Well, I have never seen the council workers actually cleaning out the pot-holes properly and then compacting the bitumen with a whacker plate, a common council tool. This of course would result in a much longer time before repairs were need-

ed again and a much smoother road surface. Being a tradesper-son for many years, I’ve always adhered to the motto of ‘Do it once, do it right, sleep at night.’

But I suppose on one level you have to admire the Coun-cil, they certainly are assisting in providing constant employ-ment for many in these hard financial times.

Casino capitalismRecent letters have character-ised Byron Shire Council as participating in casino capital-ism. They are absolutely cor-rect. Here’s why.

In addition to magical CDOs, much of our money was used by Council to purchase so-called Guaranteed Capital Structured Products. These all work the same way. Instead of making an investment, the principal amount is set aside, while the amount of normal anticipated interest (say five per cent) over the term of the note (say four years) is used to speculate on a specified outco-me (such as the stock market here, or in Japan, or the price of a commodity). Once the bet is lost, the entire amount wagered (in our example, $200,000 per $1 million) is gone forever.

Had Council invested, and not speculated, there would still be some value left. For example, the Australian stock market went down by 50 per cent, and then rose by about

■ If Steve Tyson and David Gi-let had read my letter properly before writing their replies they might have noticed that I did not refer to Belongil residents as ‘whingeing millionaires’, nor have I ever done so.

I did suggest that they were in danger of being seen that way if they couldn’t come up with anything more construc-tive than stupid press releases, and Mr Tyson doesn’t help their cause when all he can suggest is ‘Council should do something’. Very constructive.

Mr Gilet believes that Coun-cil’s rock wall at the swimming pool is the main, or even only, cause of erosion at Belongil, although he has not produced any evidence to support that view.

In an earlier letter (June 16) he suggested that I should ob-serve the current carrying sand to the northwest being diverted by Council’s rock works then turning back to the beach 150-200 metres past First Sun.

I have observed this, Mr Gilet, but why you wanted me to is the question, since it de-stroys your own argument – if the sand is being returned to the beach system 200m past First Sun, then it is available to restore the beach at Belongil, and the rock wall is only af-fecting the beach for 200m or so, as the Mayor and the Draft Coastal zone Management Plan suggest.

Mr Gilet also says the beach nourishment scheme was rightfully rejected by Council because of the expense and be-cause ‘it only dealt with symp-toms and not the cause’.

The causes of longterm ero-sion in the Byron embayment are the diversion of sand out to sea at Cape Byron, the move-ment of some of the sand that does come around Cape By-ron across the bay to rejoin the beach north of Belongil, and rising sea levels.

There is nothing that Council can do about any of these caus-es, so it is only the symptom, eroding beaches, that Coun-cil can attempt to deal with. Whatever the effect of the rock wall at the swimming pool, it is insignificant compared to the causes above.

Mr Gilet says there are ‘pos-

sible solutions’, but he doesn’t say what they are. At least that’s an improvement on ‘Council should do something’, but it might be more helpful to put forward a positive proposal, supported by rational argu-ments and evidence, for us to consider.

Matthew LambourneMullumbimby

■ I understand that a decision has been made to allow ‘nature to take its own course’ in re-spect to the management of the coastal area of Belongil Beach, but it is not just nature that is responsible for this damage.

!. Human habitation of the sand dunes is causing much damage. Every morning when I walk my dog there are people camping, sleeping, gathering under the trees that hold the earth together, trampling the grasses to death, leaving their broken chairs, empty bottles, cans and rubbish, destroying the habitats of native animals all along the sand dunes.

2. Carving pictures in the soft rock substrata that supports the sand hills. When the soft rock is illustrated many large chunks fall off. Soon the supported sand of the dunes will come tumbling down to the sea.

I also notice that the ar-eas (like around the carpark, swimming pool and Beach Hotel) where large rocks have been placed to support what was once sand dunes has been protected from the violent storms that have hit our shores. In the Main Beach area regen-eration, signage and fencing off the sand dunes has resulted in a lush regrowth of suitable grasses, shrubs and trees sav-ing the sand dunes in that area. In the areas where the rocks have been placed and the sand dunes restored the land has been protected and regenerat-ed and development has been permitted.

Surely the Council can help us preserve the Belongil Beach area in the same way? Perhaps a consultation with the Depart-ment of Main Roads regarding the disposal of the huge rocks dispersed as they forge through the countryside with the new super highways might be a good source for these rocks to

help save our beaches. Then we would be using nature to help nature survive.

Coastal care, regeneration, protection, nullifying the ef-fects of erosion are all usual procedures taken by Council to preserve the heritage of the Byron Shire for future genera-tion and native species.

Hilary KerrByron Bay

■ It is with interest the Surfrid-er Foundation has been watch-ing the various opinions about the causes, solutions, etc to the Belongil sand erosion problem in your newspaper.

The coastal conference (ex-perts panel) in 2002 run jointly by Coastal CRC and Surfrider (Byron Bay) raised many is-sues, including the rock groyne, which was considered by the coastal experts on the day to cause significant erosion west of the carpark.

Since 1988, properties have had user restrictions placed on the titles (88E) so owners would be aware of this but it still does not help to alleviate the situation of coastal threat caused by nature. We note also that the original Belongil spit property subdivision was a state government initiative, so some responsibility would also rest there perhaps?

Other locations such as Noosa have clearly demonstrated that rocks/rock walls placed paral-lel to the beach/shoreline cause continuous sand erosion to oc-

cur until there is no beach left.So, what is the answer? it is

not good enough to say that if nature dictates, then properties should be abandoned. What happens to those people who live there?

As it so happens, there is a whole new way of looking at this problem and a result-ant solution. A local inventor has patented an artificial reef which could be suitable in a bay location like Byron, which uses natural wave energy to generate a surf break and dis-sipate wave energy before it causes beach erosion.

The result of this is a near perfect barrel type wave (with a left and right break), the reef becomes a marine environ-ment that fish can inhabit, the reef can move in/out with the changing tide thereby provid-ing a safer wave to surf due to ample water depth and pressure on other surf breaks would be lessened thereby providing a calmer surfing experience.

With the inclusion of gen-erator type fins, the reef also has the potential to generate electricity from natural wave energy.

This is a solution perhaps we can all live with. We recom-mend a visit to: fredswave@skufftv for more info.

Nothing says ‘school’s out’ like getting your shoes polished in Cambodia by an eight year old kid at noon on a Wednesday for 40 cents.

Today in Phnom Penh was spent, like many others so far, fending off over-enthusiastic tuk tuk drivers after gringo fare. What’s wrong with walk-ing I say, and besides, it’s a fair-ly small city. It occurs to me as I tread the dust and stench that, like our own culture, if you look hard enough you see the same patterns. The same type of restaurant next to the same type of mechanical repair shop next to the same laundrette, dentist, mobile phone outlet. Even the colourful stinky mar-kets look similar to the one I saw three blocks back. And the people! There are so many young people, day and night, all hanging out, eating, talking, laughing, riding motos, cook-ing, selling, just sitting there, doing nothing.

It reminds me what is vital about being alive. Our culture has too much wealth, greed

and regulations. Without chal-lenges, societies become unin-teresting and irrelevent. Noth-ing necessitates something and with something you invest it to make more. The simplicity, optimism and joy that beams from their faces thankfully gives me the perspective I have been yearning for.

A rubbish pile is outside a Buddhist monastery has been there for the last five days but today there is a garbage truck onto the job. Garbage collec-tion is apparently tied into electricity accounts in Phnom Penh so if you don’t pay the bill – which is comparatively much higher than here – you will literally choke under your own refuse.

The city has no US fast food chains to speak of, except two KFCs, and why there isn’t –I am told by the founding editor of the Phnom Penh Post – is probably due to a supply is-sue and laws and regulations which make it prohibitive. He is sitting opposite me in his sparsely decorated abode with stacks of newspapers randomly piled on tables. Being wary is

not unusual for a reptile of the press, but after 17 years of run-ning the capital’s first and most popular English daily newspa-per, his comments about the state of politics and Cambodia’s future seem underwhelmed.

‘I don’t have a crystal ball’, his Massachusetts accent drawls, and he seems to be distracted as I struggle to ask something

relevant in the limited time we have.

‘You have fifteen minutes and the clock has started’, he says within the first minute of my arrival.

In the hope of cajoling him into speaking about the highs and lows of publishing a newspaper in an environ-ment where journalists have

been jailed and tortured, all I manage to squeeze in my 15 minutes is friggin’ philosophi-cal and pseudo-analytical an-swers to my own questions which understandably draws blank stares. ‘And what was the question?’

My point is this: Cambo-dia’s recent past is horrific by any standards. After Pol Pot, a French educated Marxist, took control in 1975, he reset the year to zero and made every-body work on farms and bru-tally and systematically killed within every demographic in the society. Eventually he start-ed killing within his own heir-archy due to suspicion and par-anoia. When the Vietnamese invaded in 1979, there was no country to speak of. No laws, hospitals, no elders’ wisdom, no schools – just a decimated population disconnected from their families and the world at large. Presently parts of Africa experiences the same uninter-rupted chaos, and I wonder well, what the fuck? Doesn’t that lead somewhere?

His mobile phone is broken and he is off to Afghanistan

tomorrow. There is not much more that can be extracted and to be honest it’s not the best interview I have ever done, but interesting nonetheless.

‘They [former Khmer Rouge leaders] have said in the tri-bunals that they were trying to do the best for the country.’ He sighs again and I get the impression it’s not so much my presence but the many grind-ing years of Cambodian life that has resulted in his lack of enthusiasm. ‘The current king is nothing but a figurehead and is not influential in the politics of the nation, unlike the former king,’ he says when I ask.

On closing I hand him a copy of the Tweed Shire Echo and his attention sharpens a little. ‘First thing I look at is the ads,’ he says dryly, ‘to see if the paper is making a dollar.’

Outside the decrepit 1800s French colonial architecture lines the streets as more rub-bish piles up near the King’s palace. It’s low tourist season as I shuffle past a pig on a spit, and it’s obvious this place relies heavily on the influx, as does Byron, for their meal ticket.

the same amount. An invest-ment of $200,000 would have gone down to $100,000, and then recovered to $150,000. However, Council’s specula-tions linked to the Australian share market have led to a total loss of the amount speculated. No matter how high the share market goes from here our loss will not be recouped. Such speculation is the opposite of long-term investing.

It was never appropriate for Council to speculate with our money. The fact that they pro-ved to be particularly inept as speculators only adds insult to our injury.

Savage actOn Saturday August 15, I went to the Mullumbimby Commu-nity Gardens, only to find that the whole canopy of the guard-ian trees had been brought down.

Agreeing that camphor lau-rel may have negative quali-ties, it also has positive ones, but mainly what I felt was the Council committee who decid-ed to bring these mature trees down forgot to ask the people’s opinion, particularly that of the children, who I know used to love playing in their canopy. Bringing them down also di-minished the beauty of the gar-den. It was a lovely temple-like entrance, very cooling…

I would suggest that the peo-ple involved in this decision look

further into themselves, inquire into the balance of free will and harmony with love, as well as how more important is scien-tific awareness to aesthetics, and the happiness of children, and perhaps have recourse to some primal therapy for their own selves, as well as a bit of more information on ethics…

I urge you to put that dead wood to good use, and maybe offer the local people a carving workshop so that this savage act can have a marginal crea-tive effect.

Real school choiceThe cliché goes that you have to spend some money to make some money. That’s obviously the thinking behind the full colour ads we’ve been treated to by a Tweed Heads private school recently. And while I wouldn’t want to deny The Echo a nice advertising income stream, parents might want to pause a moment before swal-lowing the glossy bait.

Economically rational parents will want to consider the differ-ence between hundreds of dol-lars (local public schools) and thousands of dollars (private school) in school fees over the time of their child’s education. The savings alone, in sending a child to a public school, can pay for years of tertiary education, or family holidays abroad, or a gap year after the HSC – the possibilities are as wide as your child’s imagination.

Given that Byron Bay High and Mullumbimby High regu-larly achieve outstanding HSC results, it’s a ‘no-brainer’ in money terms, if HSC results are your main focus. Equally important is the fact that these public schools are well-run, with experienced dedicated staff and a commitment to equity and community engagement.

Environmentally conscious parents will also want to con-sider the increased carbon-cost of bussing their child, for years, to a distant location. Many parents may consider the hours spent on such a bus ride could be better spent in physical activity, or study, or even just lazing around.

These ads are a disturbing re-sult of trying to consider edu-cation as a commodity. Educa-tion, in public schools at least, has much more substance to it than that – it’s a cooperative social process between parents, students, teachers, and the community. Bussing away your child 100 kms or more a day to a school can only be seen as a rejection of engagement with the local community and that collective process.

Parents, talk to the vast ma-jority of local parents, who school their children locally and love the results, and if you haven’t done so already, visit your local school. Save your money: don’t just ‘buy local’ – school local!

‘Hey!’ I burst out when the crayfish rattled my coffee cup with its antennae.

‘So you noticed!’ said the crayfish. ‘It’s about time!’

Damn right! How could I not? I thought that creature, about 200 mm in length, was long dead and drying nicely on the patio table. Now it’s anima-ted, with opinions over break-fast in the sunshine?

‘Why, what’s this?’ I said. No response. Why not? But wait, why am I expecting one?

My endless love of fantasy and science fiction! Of animals that talk. Of restaurants at the very ends of the universe. Of a planet where humans evolved as neuters, evoking a gender in each other only during the mating period. Of travel, going leagues under the ocean or off to the moon.

But that travel has actually happened. Bathyscaphs and rockets. The woman on the radio was Megan McArthur, talking of her workaday life as an astronaut. Her alternate career option is maneuvering craft through the deep sea.

Sometimes, science fiction has this way of becoming fact. Writers seem to be telling the story ahead of reality. What with theories and testing theories – how is the kind of story telling done as science different?

Picking fruit from the Tree of Life. Talking with Rainbow Snakes. Humberto Maturana, the Chilean biologist studies the influence of our senses on how we create knowledge. He

says ‘languaging’ is our crea-tive power. Would singing up country be a similar human capacity?

Maturana also examines the biology of human language. He observes how we exist and evolve in language. We use it, with its truth and lies, to ma-nage our human relations. He describes conversations as a consensual way of coor-dinating human behaviour. A mother murmurs and her baby coos. A lover suggests and another agrees. A drunk yells and another punches him. A worker explains and others be-gin building. A great storyteller inspires and many people make changes in their lives.

‘Hello there,’ I try once more with the crayfish. Still no res-ponse. Funny but doesn’t it always sting a bit when we’re shut out of some conversa-tion? There must be some-thing I don’t know about tal-king with crayfish. Maybe I need practice.

Science fiction storytellers practice their language, ima-gining the myriad of details which make their tales so vi-vid. Great practitioners present evidence so logical that their audiences can have a sure sense of what is and isn’t possible.

Science storytellers also practice, marshalling the many details which finally create a world of understanding. Just as in fiction, there are rules by which the evidence is as-sembled. Often, the result is as startling or even more so.

Both types of storytellers test their tales on us. Science fiction authors get around through va-rious media very well. We are now quite sophisticated about handling diverse topics. Col-lectively, we have a good grasp of the logistics of galactic batt-les as well the biology of gigan-tic worms which secrete mind expanding spices. We can com-pare different fantasy worlds and discuss future trends in different parts of the genre.

By contrast, science workers don’t get around as much. This means we get much less prac-tice hearing and talking about science. We are not that sure chatting about black holes, hot vents or the life cycle of parasi-tic barnacles.

We aren’t always confident enough to compare different stories: look how long we’ve been hoodwinked about cli-mate change and tobacco use by industry funded misinfor-mation. Future trends are mys-terious topics of nightmares. Replace my heart valve with one from a pig?

But that is changing. The internet helps brings us what a well established library in a large city would – and more. Science documentaries fill a shelf at the DVD shop. On top of all that, round the world and starting this Wednesday, August 26, in Byron Bay scien-ce workers are coming out to talk in local cafés.

The Café Scientifique mo-vement is the inspiration. In 1998 at Leeds, UK, Duncan

Dallas invited scientists into his corner café for informal discussions with his neigh-bours. After a short opening talk, the question and answer session started. These evenings became enormously popular. Neighbours got more savvy with science and scientists got a bit street smart.

Nowadays, there are almost fifty Cafes in the UK and more throughout Europe, Canada, United States and New Zea-land. In Australia, there is a Café in Canberra and also in Melbourne. Topics to date were galaxies, Darwinism, In-digenous prehistory, climate change and psychiatric illness.

The Byron Café Scientifique begins with Mark Graham, an ecologist. I took the plunge and invited him here from Coffs Harbour to talk about koalas in the Northern Rivers. He says his grandfather was a member of the crews that cut down the Big Scrub. Now he and his fa-ther are restoring some of the very same land.

Wouldn’t you like to know how he got started with koalas? What does he say it’s like for koalas here compared to Coffs Harbour? What is the science – and fiction – about our Austra-lian icon? And don’t you have a question you always wished you could put to someone like Mark?

Come join Mark and I. Truth or fiction but didn’t that cray-fish say ‘It’s about time?’

■ Mark Graham and NSW

Koalas: Wednesday, August 26, 6.30pm for 7pm at the Bohemia Café, Byron Bay (opposite Woo-lies). Moderator Mary Gardner, gold coin donation.

Thinking of developing land?

For further information about the land clearing rules contact the Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water’s Environment Line on 131555 or visit www.environment.nsw.gov.au/vegetation/.

Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water NSW

Are you aware of the clearing controls that apply to native vegetation in NSW?

Development applications that involve clearing of native vegetation often require consent under both the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 and the Native Vegetation Act 2003.

Under the Native Vegetation Act 2003 it is an offence to clear native vegetation except in accordance with development consent granted under the Act or a Property Vegetation Plan.

Native vegetation is a major component of biodiversity and plays an important role in protecting land from soil erosion and salinity, waterways from degradation and provides vital habitat for our native fauna.

High Resolution imagery is used to monitor land clearing and changes in the extent of native vegetation.

Truth or fiction? said the crayfish in the café Hunters on the rampageA Bill that would allow hunt-ing in national parks will be debated in State Parliament next month.

Shooters Party legislation has already given hunters access to feral animals in two million hectares of NSW State forests since 2002. Now they want to expand ‘recreational’ hunting by introducing the Game and Feral Animal Control Amendment Bill.

Mark Byrne, EDO Northern Rivers Education Officer, says the new Bill expands this right to hunt into national parks and allows the hunting of some na-tive animals that are currently protected, including kanga-roos, 12 species of birds and 11 species of ducks.

Because the government needs the two Shooters Party votes to get its agenda through the Upper House, conserva-tionists say the hunters are poised to overturn years of work devoted to protecting the fauna of NSW.

The new bill includes meas-ures for ‘conservation hunt-ing’ and setting up hunting reserves on private land.

A public meeting to discuss the hunting bill will be held on Wednesday, August 26, at the Red Dove Hall, corner of Keen and Woodlark Streets, Lismore, from 6 pm sharp to 8 pm.

Speakers are Dr Carol Booth, Policy Officer for the Invasive Species Council, Shadow Minister for the Environment, Catherine Cusack, Greens MLC Ian Cohen and former NSW MLC Richard Jones. Representa-tives of the Shooters Party and the Game Council of NSW were invited but declined to attend.

LIGHTHOUSE REMOVALS

18 August 25, 2009 The Byron Shire Echo www.echo.net.au

When Gough Whitlam faced his very public sacking back in 1975 he made an impromptu address and uttered a phrase that has become part of the Australian psyche... ‘Well may we say ‘God save the Queen’, because nothing will save the Governor-General’. Topology (one of this country’s most creative instrumental groups) takes this famous phrase and many others and presents the composition Big Decisions, a musical portrait of the players of the Dismissal. The show is ‘Corridors of Power: Lying, Cheating, Stealing’ and is a series of original compositions that incorporate the voices of famous politicians such as Gough Whitlam, Paul Keating and Joh Bjelke-Petersen.

Robert Davidson is the

band leader and is currently

undertaking research into

the deep links between

language and music, he is a

lecturer in composition at the

University of Queensland.

‘I have always been interested in the story telling aspect of politics, and the parliament itself is quite theatrical! When I was 10, I was convinced I was going to be a political cartoonist, and I have come around to that, and pointing out that now I am now in my forties, I am in a way a cartoonist, but with music.’

When choosing fragments of

text to use, Davidson alters

very little of the speaker’s

work.

‘The phrases are quite rhyth-mic and often when they

(politicians) speak in public they become more musical, like Martin Luther King, for instance, when he says ‘I have a dream’ he almost sings.’

It is this musicality of speech

that has Davidson the most

fascinated. He believes that

there is more than the first

reading in what someone

says.

‘The other meaning is the musical and emotional mean-ing, it’s memorable part of it is because it’s musical. I find the links between speaking and singing and music and language and where they came from and what they do amazing. There are various

ways you can map music, you can reflect the speaker and their reaction or your own or try and depict a reaction belonging to the time, so many different ways you can connect rather like a parody. Pointing out the human foibles is how I create audio cartoons.’

Davidson recently worked

with Peter Singer, Margaret

Mead, and David Williamson

creating a voice portrait

themed around human

nature. It’s the concept of his

work as a vocal portrait that

he finds most fascinating.

‘I find a phrase that reflects the speaker’s personality and something that characterises

their own musical style that is quite characteristic of them. Gough has a particular rhythm. He almost speaks in a key: B flat.’

Topology have been

composing and presenting

their work for ten years,

using the spoken work and

instrumental composition

to create pictures of a time,

rather than using footage.

‘We have used video but I prefer to move back to audio because when there is video people don’t pay enough attention to the audio – the audio can be overlooked – people can then be focused on the nature of the voice.

‘I start by transcirbing

what has been said, it’s not

absolutely accurate, it’s how

it’s perceived, and it’s quite

intuitive, afterwards I’ll go this

is what I was thinking, but I

tend to really rely on intuition,

what chord am I hearing here?

Perception is what counts.’

Topology features Robert

Davidson on bass, Bernard

Hoey on viola, John Babbage

on sax, Christa Powell on

violin and Kylie Davidson on

piano. They play the Byron

Community Centre on Friday.

Tickets are $20/22 and can be

booked on 6685 6807. Show

starts at 7.30pm.

Full of JuiceAfter a year of chasing futile dreams on a Russian salmon farm, Bluejuice have returned with a new single, a new album, and a modest bag of salmon. Already added to Triple J rotation, Broken Leg, the first single from their upcoming sophomore record is a blustering bit of anthemic pop – an uptempo ode to being a limping miseryguts. Never before have 80s-themed existential crises inspired such a need to dance or sing so joyously (alright, maybe Jessie’s Girl). In keeping with their reputation for brilliant clips, the filming of the video for Broken Leg saw pulled muscles, purple tracksuits and a masterful exhibition of skip-roping prowess as team bluejuice trained intensively for months in the leadup to their quest for the title of ‘World Skipping Champions’. Introducing Spiridon Savvas (Mr Invisible) and Arthur Pennington (Venom), the hottest skip-ropers on the planet. I saw it the other day and I was filled with the kind of nostalgia that had me in the backyard busting some of my finest skipping moves. Now I have a broken leg. Bluejuice at the Hotel Great Northern on Saturday.

Black CatsCats Are Black and the lovely Kym Campbell escape the winter blues of Sydney and head north for three shows in Byron Bay, the Gold Coast and Brisbane this month. Acoustic/indie/blues/country act Cats Are Black formed spontaneously last year when tour manager of The Beautiful Girls, Matty Woo, was asked to support Mat McHugh on his solo tour around Australia. Complementing and joining Cats Are Black will be acoustic surf/roots chanteuse, Kym Campbell, offering her sweet

vocals and laidback, organic grooves with elements of roots, folk, reggae and island music. Originally from Seattle, Washington, Kym Campbell’s influences span an array of genres and her music reflects a lifestyle of travel, sun, ocean, surf and song. So if you are in the mood for some laidback country or some sweet acoustic reggae, they have got the bases covered and will be playing exclusively in Byron at the Rails on Thursday.

Turn Up The HeatWinter is nearly over, which means that warm-blooded musicians are starting to emerge from hibernation, crawling out from under their doonas and returning to the stage. Among them, Azadoota’s Iraqi-born front-man Robin Zirwanda brings a stellar lineup to the North Coast for a series of gigs to farewell the cold weather. Azadoota heat the house at the Hotel Great Northern on Friday and Sunday at the Rails.

Going GreenKeen to be part of the growth of Mullumbimby’s great new music venue the Court House Hotel, Greenlife bring their exceptional musical skills and irresistible dance grooves to the fore on Friday. Greenlife are a trio of world class vibrant musicians, Greg Sheehan – drums and percussion, Laura Targett – fiddle and vocals,

and Steve Berry – guitar. They play an eclectic mix of extremely danceable music woven around tunes from Irish, Bluegrass and European Gypsy traditions, played with their own inimitable style. With full respect for tradition, Greenlife still brings the music to a very contemporary Australian place, using electronics, bass pedals, exceptional musicianship and the sheer, contagious joy of playing that will spontaneously

get you on your feet dancing! 8pm.

Cole in OneSinger Beccy Cole has earned three gold records and won countless awards, including seven Golden Guitars, all for singing country music.

ARE WE THERE YET?In a week from now I’ll

be at the half way mark

of my six months RTA

licence suspension. I wish

nothing but pestilence

and melancholy on this so-

called Authority of Roads

and Traffic, and have taken

my licence and wrapped

it in a letter from the

State Debt Recovery and

danced naked around the

St Helena camera singing

an incantation of doom

for those who implement

the evil incurred by these

all-seeing eyes. Although,

I must add that my total

driving ban has presented

me with an epiphany. It

is possible to live without

a car. Of course, it’s not

possible though, to live

without someone else’s car.

I have become the master of

what I call ‘lift negotiation’

or ringing people up and

begging them to drive

me somewhere. I have

hitched once. Well, it wasn’t

really hitching. The poor

woman stopped her car at

a pedestrian crossing and

I just got in and told her

to drive me home. There

are weeks when I don’t

leave Mullumbimby at all.

They’re the weeks when

I can really let myself go.

Head on down to Mallams

in my jammies and no one

blinks an eye. Thanks to the

RTA my carbon footprint

has been reduced to a

carbon big toe. On the one

hand I feel like a complete

tosspot, reduced to

pushing my grocery laden

pram through bushland,

dragging weeping children

and copping abuse from

passing teenagers. Being

on foot, one is much more

susceptible to random

abuse – you are a much

slower moving target. The

other day three scrawny

weed dealing emo boys

ran past and yelled ‘Mandy

Nolan’s a Slut’. Gees I felt

15 again. Note to self.

Take phone number down

from men’s toilet. While

experiencing a certain

degree of transport angst

I also have the warm glow

of smugness, knowing that

for the first time in over

two decades of holding a

licence I am truly green.

I use public transport.

Problem is, there isn’t

any. I have been getting

the bus. Or as a friend of

mine says rather cruelly:

‘the loser cruiser’. When

faced with a six month

suspension I wondered how

I would manage. We are

such a car oriented culture

that it seems impossible

to live without one. Three

months down the track I

have attained a level of

stillness and inner peace

that only the unlicensed

share. When you can’t jump

in your car at any passing

whim you tend to stay put.

All journeys are planned to

precision. It is the ultimate

way of reducing one’s

consumption. In keeping

with the saying, don’t eat

anything bigger than your

head, I can’t buy more than

I can carry. I have to walk

my own food miles. For

instance watermelon is out

and apples are in. Unless

they can be rolled with my

foot, heavy vegetables are

off the shopping list. I can

only purchase lightweight

produce, like fairyfloss and

cottonwool. For the first

time in my life I have slowed

down. Taken stock. For the

first time in a very long

time, I am going nowhere.

Artists’ DeadlinesAdam, the first of the two open art exhibitions at Waywood Gallery begins this week. But there’s still time to submit work for Eve: deadline September 5. In return for fully insured hanging space as well as a wealth of promotion and publicity, the gallery retains 33% commission from the sale of work. For further information and to download entry form: www.the-centre.com.au

Work for Ocean Shores Art Expo 2009 must be submitted by August 28. This year’s theme, ‘Seeds of Change’, is about artists either responding to change or wanting change: a vision splendid. Work should fall within one of five categories: watercolour/gouache; oil/acrylic; mixed media; drawing/pastel; sculpture. In each category there is a first prize of $500 and a $200 second prize. There is also a one only viewers’ choice prize of $300 donated by Byron Art Supply.

The next important date is Friday September 18 at 7pm: the preview of the exhibition and announcement of prizes in the Ocean Shores Community Hall. For on line entry forms: www.osartexpo.com

Orton in Our NorthWhen Ken Horler’s production of What the Butler Saw opens in Murwillumbah, the work of local artist Craig Parnaby will be centre stage: a portrait of Sigmund Freud. Why Freud? Because, says Horler, ‘What the Butler Saw is a play about hypocritical, Randy, with a capital R, psychiatrists.’ By 1969, when What the Butler Saw debuted in London’s West End, playwright Joe Orton was two years dead. His long time lover, Kenneth Halliwell, had bludgeoned him to death with a hammer. But such was his impact on 1960s British theatre, that ‘Ortonesque’ became synonymous with outrageous, gloriously black, comedy. What the Butler Saw is in the best comic tradition that can be traced all the way back to Aristophanes in Ancient Greece. ‘This is a brilliant comedy’, said Horler. ‘I like comedy. Australians like comedy. And you can make a lot of serious points using comic methods. Mistaken identities, sex in the broom cupboard, confused maternity and paternity… it’s got the frenetic pace of classic French farce and some wonderful satire on the jargon of modern psychiatry.’ What, I asked Horler, does he consider to be the place of theatre in a community – local or global.

‘Artistic nutrient. We buy Grow Plus to cultivate our gardens. But we need to cultivate our minds, our imaginations. That’s why we go to art galleries, read books. An even more potent form is theatre: ideas, flesh and blood.’ With Rachael Gorham and Colin Elliott at the centre of the local cast, What the Butler Saw opens at Murwillumbah Civic Centre 7.30pm Friday 28. Tickets available from Murwillumbah Music Shop or at the door.

Kingscliff ArtistsLorraine Abernethy and Ian Tremewen, partners in life and art, are based at Kingscliff. The work of both is currently on exhibition at the Soffitel, Broadbeach. ‘The hotel is actively encouraging artists

to take over the space’, said Tremewen. ‘The changing face of the hotel.’ While Tremewen works in water colour and also sculpture in metal and wood, Abernethy works mainly in acrylic, photography and mixed-media. She also runs Art as Healing workshops. Next year they will be artists in residence in Italy, in Cottanello – a small village north of Verona. Their ten day workshop in the Villa Madonna will focus on the interpretation of landscape: a very different landscape from the sand and surf of Kingscliff.

Fish TalesAt Community Printmakers Murwillumbah, Michael Glasson takes images of fish as metaphor for his exploration of the human condition. It’s fine lined, evocative work. And alongside the prints in the gallery are the Glasson’s collograph plates, themselves works of art. In collograph the artist begins with a thick cardboard base, sometimes cutting away its outer surface but most often adding glued-down detail. Glasson’s work has a sense of movement and closely observed detail, impressive in any artist but especially so because Glasson has limited sight. ‘If you imagine the circle of a clock, I can only see the number 2.’ His artistic vision and skill, however, are unquestionable.

Wednesdays at LiQUiDLiquid’s mid-week sensation, 21-year-old ALDO Arechar is consistent with Liquid’s music policy committing to quality and innovation. Aldo is studying a degree in audio engineering and music production at Byron’s SAE. Originally from Mexico, Aldo started playing piano at nine, took to the drums as a teenager, joined several bands and played from classic to punk. At 15, Aldo programmed all his favourite drum beats onto a sequencer and has since been glued to the computer composing, mixing and producing. Aldo’s project Basic Nova has had its first EP released on Iboga Mexico.

Q: What is your weekly Wednesday about? A: ‘The main theme is minimal techno music, but the night will start with a DJ set from Marz Brazilian, then Mr Sandy Sitlani from Dubai, then the decks are going to pass to DJ Navin from India and finally I will be playing my live set and a hypnotic techno set to finish the night with energy.’

Q: Do you still listen to acoustic music? A: ‘I listen to all kinds of music; each genre has its own passion, background and feel.’

WINSOME updateLismore’s historic Winsome hotel bar will again open three nights a week for DJs and bands. Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays will keep the same format and FRIDAY UNDERGROUND will continue. Go celebrate Lismore’s coolest venue!

New releases from the Shire, buy local!Jimi Polar and Phil Smart release Frostbite (A: Original mix B: JP Switch Remix). They take off the gloves and head out into the chilly night for a evening of serious clubbing. Side A is dubby and consistent, great for long opener sets. The B side takes the same percussive elements and adds fat 303 action to the low endThe Junkbeats HQ has added Disco Knights from Brisbane, and Melbourne expat DeeDee from the Smash-Bang hall taking on remix duties.

G.I. JoeThe Yanks have finally gotten even with those effete Froggies for their less than gung-ho response to 9/11. A sensational highlight of this gonzo CGI fest is the total destruction of the Eiffel Tower by a horde of infinitesimal green things called nannomites, with the accompanying audio of such magnitude that it shook the floor of the cinema before vibrating along my aisle and thence into my gut and gorge. It was a near thing, but I came as close as I ever have to vomiting the orange and almond polenta slice with double cream that I’d bolted beforehand onto the vacant

seat beside me. The tendency in these mega heroics has lately been for the narrative to become labyrinthine in its complexity (I didn’t have much of a clue about what was going on in Watchmen), as though the creators, by inventing a detailed mythology for their characters, believe that the punter will think he is watching more than just goodies v baddies – it’s the Tolkein effect. Thankfully, this movie is more simplistic, meaning that you can let your mind wander all over the place and still be able to pick up on things when you tune in again, viz., the possession of those aforementioned green nannomites has promoted the mother of all rumbles between the USA and some really bad dudes who want to rule the world (what else?). As General Hawk, the bull goose loony of the good guys, Denis Quaid, a subtle comic actor, channels John Wayne as he storms around The Pit, barking instructions and delivering

lines such as ‘yah, well get those guys outta there!’ with delirious integrity. The Girl, Baroness (Sienna Miller), is initially in cahoots with the villains, but her sad back story explains why and, in the wash-up, she joins the Joes – she also has lovely jugs and an Emma Peel leather wardrobe that sets them off very nicely, thank you. I thought I caught a glimpse of Brendan Fraser in the mix too, when the Joes were doing their training, but he had no further involvement in the fun and games, which was a pity, as he is a most affable muttonhead – maybe he’ll be more prominent in the inevitable sequels. As hinted at by Quaid’s goofiness, it is all tongue in cheek – the closing shot is of the Joes, seven abreast, walking in slo-mo towards the camera as one of them says ‘don’t we look great.’ More power to ‘em, I say.~ John Campbell

Inglorious BasterdsIs a puzzlement: why do people clap at the end of a movie? As none of the participants was present, I assume that the bloke who felt compelled to applaud did so to publicly align himself with the faction of the enfant terrible director (or auteur, as they say) who refuses to grow up, Quentin Tarantino. There is presently no filmmaker quite so enslaved by the need to stamp his imprimatur on a work and, though not one of the dribbling droogs who

idolise him, I have to concede that this is his best effort yet. It’s not great – there are too many irritating wanks for my liking – but it does suggest that if Tarantino ever gets his ego under control he’ll create something truly memorable. Brad Pitt, with an outrageous southern drawl, heads a gang of vigilantes whose mission is to brutally kill as many Nazis as they can. They learn that Hitler and his top brass will attend the premiere of a propaganda feature in Paris and plan to take them out – as does the cinema owner, a Jewess whose family has been massacred as part of the Reich’s Final Solution. Tarantino has divided his story into chapters, and the first – an SS officer (Cristoph Waltz, who steals the show) at the table of a cowherd whom he is grilling with matey sang-froid – is bold for its length and stillness, but vice-like in its tension. The same killing pressure is built when Waltz interviews the cinema owner in a restaurant – you will never see anybody eat a slice of strudel with such terrifying intent – and again in a beer cellar where the identity of one of the Basterds is being questioned. Ultimately, however, Tarantino’s penchant for the violence that his acolytes find so chic is given reign, with scalpings and a head being smashed by a baseball bat added to the usual stabbings and shootings. There are also indulgences that are plain silly – the Nazi big wig enters the theatre and, like a smart arsed kid, Tarantino has scrawled on the screen ‘Martin Bormann’, with an arrow pointing to him – has he not heard about cutting off one’s nose to spite one’s face? Then again, maybe that’s the point – post modernism is the dangdest thang. It’s surreal and occasionally undergraduate in its lairising, with a whiff of the American boy wanting to impress Euro cinephiles, and those connoisseurs who clap at the movies. ~ John Campbell

Drag Me To HellThis film is directed by Sam Raimi (Spiderman & The Evil Dead). Raimi is at the height of his powers with this very funny, very gross horror romp. Taking a pretty young blonde and putting her up against the lethal force of an old gypsy woman’s curse, he delivers a series of gaudy set pieces full of demons, gothic houses and geysers of putrified bodily fluids. Christine Brown (Alison Lohman) is an ambitious L.A. loan officer and life is good until a mysterious Mrs. Ganush arrives at the bank to beg for an extension on her home loan. Should Christine follow her instincts and give the old woman a break? Or should she deny the extension to impress her boss, Mr. Jacks, and get a leg up on a promotion? Christine chooses the latter, In retaliation, the old woman

places the curse of the Lamia upon Christine, transforming her life into a living nightmare. Christine has 72 hours to wait for the worst. However, it is the clever way in which the harried heroine is sent hurtling through the hoops that gives

Drag Me To Hell much of its addictive oomph. Drag Me To Hell is a funny, inspired and genuinely thrilling horror movie, it doesn’t focus so much on gore as on suspense, a great story and tight direction.~ Lounge Cinema

1. Emma Thompson conceals her considerable

beauty behind prosthetic warts and moles to

play Nanny McPhee (Ten, Friday 8.30pm), but

it is arguable whether the histrionic sacrifice

is worth it.

2. Nine’s new high definition channel calls

itself Go! One wonders what sort of demo-

graphic they are chasing by screening the

seriously uncool Police Academy on Sunday

night (10.30pm).

3. Will Ferrell is a very funny man, but unfor-

tunately he has a penchant for films about in-

comprehensible North American sports. That

said, Blades of Glory (NBN, Tuesday 9.30pm)

is worth a few chuckles.

HONEY POTVictoria Cosford

‘Well,’ said Pooh, ‘what I like best –’ and then he had to stop and think. Because although Eating Honey WAS a very good thing to do, there was a moment just before you were, but he didn’t know what it was called...’ (A.A Milne)

Eating honey is indeed a very good thing to do – and while various people, professional and otherwise, dispute the various health-giving benefits the substance may possess, let us go on eating it with impunity. Throughout the ages it was the principal sweetener of foods, supplanted even-tually by refined sugar made from sugar cane or sugar beets; it was also used (for about 2,700 years) to treat ailments. It might be the placebo effect or the fact it tastes so delicious, but gargling with warmed honey and lemon is still one of the best sore-throat cures for me.

To think about the process whereby bees make honey fills me with awe. The worker bees collect nectar from flowers and bring it back to the hive, where they use their ‘honey stomachs’ to ingest and regurgitate it several times, provoking transformations in its sugars. The youngest bees roll it over their tongues, breathing across it to evaporate some of its water content and thereby concentrate it. Glandular secretions contribute to the changes in the liquid, and then it is transferred to the storage cells of the honeycomb whose high temperatures will

continue the concentration. Voila! The nectar has become honey, and all that breathing and fanning of tiny wings to enhance evaporation means it won’t even ferment.

The various flavours of honey are dependent on the flowers whose nectar is plundered – and even then may be newly created by the blending of floral sources. I remember my first taste of Leatherwood honey as a child: I found it, as many do, quite confronting. Sadly this prized Tasmanian honey has become an endangered species due to the logging and burning of old growth forests. (The most prolific flowering Leatherwood trees are aged between 175

and 210 years old.)

Perhaps my most primitive enjoyment of honey is when it is glooped onto a hot buttered crumpet: teeth submerge into layers and pockets of crunchy, moist, sweet lusciousness leaving your chin shiny. But that is really only the beginning. Chicken is glorious baked, grilled or barbecued after an overnight marinade in honey, chicken broth, lime juice and zest, finely chopped chillis and fresh coriander. Blended with seeded mustard, extra virgin olive oil and white wine vinegar, honey transforms a platter of char-grilled vegetables like asparagus, red capsicum, fennel, eggplant and zucchini.

Or stir it through sheep’s milk yoghurt, add a touch of mustard, olive oil and vinegar and jazz up baby beets, whole garlic cloves and sweet potato wedges you have roasted. Simmering carrots with honey and butter is heavenly; dollop in honey toward the end of a slowly cooking Moroccan-style lamb casserole. Or make the following cake, served warm or cold, with thick cream :

WHOLEMEAL

APPLE AND HONEY

SYRUP CAKE2 apples, peeled and chopped1 cup honey2/3 cup water3 eggs100 gr. caster sugar100 gr. wholemeal plain flour75 gr. SR flour3 tspns baking powder1/4 tspn nutmeg150 gr. melted butter

Preheat oven to 190˚C and grease a spring-form pan. Simmer together apple, honey and water until tender. Cool and drain apple, reserving syrup. Whisk eggs and sugar until thick and creamy then fold in sifted dry ingredients. Stir in apple and melted butter and pour into tin. Bake 40 mins or until skewer comes out clean. Cool in tin 10 mins before turning out on a rack. Heat reserved syrup and prick cake all over with skewer before pouring the syrup on top until it is all absorbed. Divine.w osh

The girls at Byron Bay’s Red Ginger have recently acquired Dragonfly in Bangalow, which they will transform into another Red Ginger. They hope to be up and running there by early October; by all reports, Bangalow residents are thrilled with the news that Leslie and Marina will be bringing their inimitably stylish touch in Asian foods and homewares to the town.

There are still some places left for the fabulous beer degustation dinner at the Byron Beach Cafe this Friday August 28. Entitled the Coopers Ale Culinary Cruiser, it will feature a 7-course menu, each course matching a different beer. The menu itself, created by head chef Nathaniel Marshall, utilises dark, pale and sparkling ales as well as stout and lager amongst its ingredients. For bookings ring 6685 8400 or email belinda@byronbeachcafe.com.au

Boston Bay in South Australia is home of the renowned Kinkawooka Mussels. Rapidly establishing a formidable reputation, they are expected to be better than ever this season due to unique farming practices and constant

striving toward excellence by the company. More exciting is the news of the arrival to market of a new mussel. Named Petit Bouchot, it is a reproduction of the classic French-style mussel and is regarded as the hallmark in mussels, deriving originally from the Brittany region in South Western France. These are small but intensely flavoured mussels – described by leading Australian chefs like Neil Perry and Cheong Liew as incredible. The Petit Bouchot will only be available in limited quantity for 8 – 10 weeks and can be found in the country’s better

restaurants until about October. Meanwhile, the rest of the new season’s crop at Kinkawooka is showing signs of being in prime condition until well into the new year due to near-perfect growing conditions. Soft and sweet are the characteristics of these mussels, which are also available ‘pot-ready’ from good seafood outlets nationally.

Last week’s solution

Mungo’s Crossword fi rst published in The Week.

English chess has gone through some difficult times since the heady days of the 1980s when England could claim to be the second ranking chess nation in the word behind the Soviet Union.

The reasons behind the so-called English Chess Explosion in the early 1980s were varied but many believed that the poli-cies of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher were indirectly of great benefit. Certainly, in the early 1980s many talented young

English players decided that, with unemployment levels so high, it was pointless to try to find a regular job and therefore became professional chessplayers. Through the 1980s England, a country with no Grandmasters just a decade earlier, gained a dozen new GMs.

The ‘bad economy equals good chess’ theory has been used often;

to explain, for example, why Singapore and S w i t z e r l a n d had never pro-duced top class players, or to account for the declining pop-ularity of chess in the formerly c o m m u n i s t countries of central Europe after the fall of the Berlin Wall.

The current economic down-turn has hit England particularly hard, which might be a pointer to the rejuvenation of English chess.

This week England for the first time defeated another former Western European powerhouse, the Netherlands, in the annual Staunton Memorial contest in London, a week after 18-year-old David Howell had become the second youngest British Champion.

The British victory in the Staunton Memorial came on the back of a stellar 8/10 performance by an old-timer, former world title challenger Nigel Short, who has, at least temporarily, over-taken Michael Adams (who won the British Championship at 17) as the British number one.

■ The diagrammed position sees Holland’s Erwin L’Ami playing White against Howell. Howell, by offering his rook, is hoping for a total blockade after a line such as

41.Nxd7 Kxd7 42.Ra8 Kc8 but L’Ami eschewed material gain and played:

41.Nxe6!! Kf7 42.Ra8! Rxa8 43.Rxa8 Kxe6 44.Rf8 Ke7 45.Rb8 Kf7 46.Kd2 Re7 47.Kd3 Kg7 Again L’Ami is faced with the question – how can White make progress?48.Kc3! Kf748...Rxe3+ 49.Kb4 only gains a worthless pawn but does not stop White’s king’s advance.49.Kb4 Rd7 50.Kc5 Ke7One more time, White seems to have come to a dead end, but L’Ami now has a massive surprise in store for Howell.51.Rxb7!! 1-0An early resignation, but after 51...Rxb7 52.Kxc6 Rb8 53.Kc7 Rh8 54.b7, Black will have to give up his rook for the pawn after which resistance is futile.

1A rejuvenated Nigel Short led the English team to victory over the Netherlands.

ARIES: With Mars your ruler in the sign of home and heritage, there’s likely to be plenty of vivid activity on the family front. Be aware that this week will hand you back whatever you present it with, whether that’s understanding cooperation or an antagonistic attitude…

TAURUS: If others are picky and hard to please this week, just do your best then let it rest – there’s no shortage of progressive, constructive stuff to do. Though you may have to subdue certain clamoring personalities with poise and practicality first.

GEMINI: If you’re ever going to give that unhealthy fantasy, stale relationship or bad habit the flick, this week gives you a leg up. Fancy just a few minor, less radical improvements? Perfect for that too – and for morphing grand plans into something more petite and achievable.

CANCER: This week Mars, that bold, confident, sassy planet of sexy energy sashays into Crabville with a cosmic vitamin

shot for your life-be-in-it hormones. Citizens are prickly though, and best finessed with your finest combination of skillful manipulation and judicious flattery.

LEO: Leo G. B. Shaw thought Progress is impossible without change, and those who can’t change their minds can’t change anything. If what you’re thinking isn’t making you feel good this week, change it. Do nothing, and Venus in Leo will probably sling you some unexpected dollars anyway…

VIRGO: A lovely Venus connection makes this week perfect for reinventing yourself with a classy new look. Plus the Sun singing Happy Birthday Virgo and your boss planet Mercury in graceful, persuasive Libra are giving you effective, diplomatic and simply irresistible methods of getting what you want.

LIBRA: Librans love their stuff, which makes sense this week when things are likely

to bring you more joy than people. But while the general public may be grumpy, this is a wildly auspicious period for makeovers: revamping your house, garden, office, wardrobe, finances, hairdo, career or relationship.

SCORPIO: This is the week ancient Romans celebrated Volcanalia, thunderbolts from heaven. Here on earth something could hit you like a bolt from the blue: unexpected news, a huge realization, a sudden epiphany… Or maybe just something falling off a shelf, so watch your step.

SAGITTARIUS: Actions usually speak louder than words, but should this week’s verbals start hitting the higher registers, gracious restraint’s your best bet. The present star scenario’s most supportive for focusing on the practical, day to day steps necessary for putting new plans into practise.

CAPRICORN: The answers you’re looking for become

apparent if you’re able to turn

this week’s critical feedback into

a learning curve. And the moon’s

north node entering Capricorn

emphasizes expanding your

skills into uncharted territory

rather than relying on what’s

worked up until now.

AQUARIUS: Your negotiating

skills get a serious workout

this week as personal matters

that have been gathering

momentum for some time come

to a head. Even if it’s a huge

stretch keep your heart open,

refrain from playing the blame

game and clarity will eventuate

as feelings settle.

PISCES: As this week drills deep

into sensitive issues, its big ask

is to appreciate whatever life

hands you, no matter what.

The present cosmic turbulence

requires staying positive,

breathing deeply, keeping calm

and remembering the wisdom

of the Tao: Within misfortune,

good fortune hides…

This week’s Sun in clean-up-your-act Virgo tidies life’s messy corners, culls clutter, makes practical

adjustments and runs necessary reality checks.

Reuben Donati: riding to road to somewhereRiding a bike for up to 600km a week is not everyone’s idea of a stroll in the park, but for Reuben Donati it is the prepa-ration he needs for the winter season of cycling.

During the road season which happens over the cooler months, Reuben will some-times cycle for 6 hours to get himself ready for the stand-ard championship distance of 165km.

Having completed his first 160km+ race about this time last year, Rueben says that many competitive cyclists do much more. ’The 20 hours or so a week I spend on a bike is considerably less than many, if not most of the elite guys I race against,’ he said before heading off to the Queensland Championships held over the weekend.

Reuben usually races once every weekend and sometimes twice in either a 65-80km race or in a criterium (circuit race), which can last up to 1 hour.

Reuben is in his second year of a bachelor of economics at the University of QLD but would like to go pro as well. ‘To race in the Olympics is not really a goal of mine. As far as

road cycling is concerned, the Olympics are certainly not the pinnacle. It’s no more prestig-ious than half a dozen races that are on every year. I’m more inclined to just focus on trying to become a professional.

Part of the process in mak-ing a career out of cycling is getting in with the big guy and Europe is the Meccaof cycling. ’Cycling is huge in Europe and that is where the majority of professionals are. I’m thinking

about going over there next year and riding a season and seeing what comes of it.’

Reuben has a stack of wins under his belt and estimates that he has about 50 A grade wins, including the Queens-

land Championships. ‘I started riding about four years ago with the North Coast Acad-emy of sport. That came about through a talent identification day they had. I was with them for about a year before I de-cided to continue by myself. I started racing more regularly and progressed through the grades. I won my first A grade road race about 3 years ago when I was 16.

I’ve been riding more seri-ously over the past two years. Last year was my first year rac-ing the Queensland State Open races and I had many podium results. As a first year U/23 rid-er, I was 3rd in the Queensland state championships last year.

This year I’ve again been on the podium in many Queens-land opens and I won the Queensland Metropolitan championships in the U/23 Category and was 3rd Overall.’

Rueben says the competition is pretty tough in the Open races, the field usually includes many riders from the big Aus-tralian domestic teams who are on professional contracts.

Though he doesn’t have a coach, he has great support from friends and family and

says that great Chris and Uki at Byron Bay Bicycles are al-ways a great help getting his bike ready to go for the big races.

It is all go, go go for the few months. ‘ I’ve got a couple of big races remaining this sea-son. The Queensland state championships were on last weekend. The Grafton to In-verell – recognised as the big-gest one-day race in Australia – is on in early September and I will also be competing in the Australian Championships in January next year. Between now and the end of next year I’ll be looking at team options for next year. I’ve already re-ceived some promising offers’.

News Extra

Victoria Cosford

What started out as a holiday for local woman Kate de Marco has gone on to change a lot of lives.

Visiting the Solomon Islands, she stumbled on a refuge in the capital Honiara; so affecting was the experience that upon her re-turn to Australia she mustered together a group of nine women to go back and help.

Lennox Head-based Ju-lie Allen (pictured with some Solomon Is friends) is part of that group and spoke to The Echo about both the aims of the group and the refuge itself.

Nothing had prepared her for the poverty and squalor of Honiara (‘It’s not like Bali!’) nor for the condition of these illiterate women, most of them victims of rape or some other form of abuse.

The refuge, though large, is without power, has a ‘shanty’ for a kitchen and is rotting away because of white ants.

Julie has started up an organ-isation called WACCI (Women and Children’s Care Initiative) and will be going back there in October.

Despite her job as school counsellor at the Shearwater Steiner School, the WACCI work has ‘been a dream since I was a teenager’ – so much so that she is using it as a blue-print for the provision of ref-uges back here in Australia,

‘wherever the need is.’ She and the team of other

women hope to have a new refuge built at Honiara next year to replace the existing one; meanwhile October’s trip will be in order to set up work-shop training sessions with the sisters there on dealing with trauma; clear the surrounding swamplands (‘malarial breed-ing grounds’); create gardens and supply the refuge with medication, baby food and other essentials.

They work directly with the refuge and someone known as Sister Doreen (‘a powerhouse of a woman’, said Julie) with no bureaucratic intervention at all, although this indifference clearly works in the group’s fa-

vour and, according to Julie, ‘they’re so desperate to have help there: no one will stand in our way.’

Julie has only recently start-ed spreading the news of the refuge and WACCI but already has been struck by the support from this region.

‘People’s offers of help have been amazing’, she said. ‘Even a packet of Panadol will alleviate someone’s suffering for several days.’

All donations are gratefully accepted (save children’s cloth-ing, which they purchase over there): educational, toys, baby formula, medical supplies and nappies, sanitary napkins, bras and women’s undies – even, ap-parently, second-hand football

boots. And of course money. Given the absence of power

in the refuge the organisation is hoping to have solar panels in-stalled at some point, and have been quoted around $2000.

Direct deposits and any donation may be made by contacting Julie for details on 0401 338 145 or emailing her at jules_jay05@yahoo.com.au. Further information on WAC-CI as well as a photo gallery are available on their website wacci.com

Julie helps a Solomon Islands refuge

Right: Jack, Mia, Lily, Kristy and Lucy enjoy the first of the ‘Friday Nights @ the YAC’ with some of their sidewalk chalk art under the front awning. Friday nights 6-10pm the Youth Activities Centre at 1 Gilmore Crescent, Byron Bay, offers a chill zone for 12-17 year olds with games, movies and refreshments.

Below: Victoria Taylor, Bris-bane based actress, jazz chan-teuse and burlesque queen inspired 80 or more budding sketchers at Dr Sketchys at the Buddha Bar last Tuesday. Next month the good doctor will be presenting Australia’s most infamous Burlesquer Lola the Vamp.

Farmers’ Market Feast!Jot down a diary note: Farmers’ Market Feast is on Sunday, September 13 at 1pm.

The Burringbar School of Arts Hall will hold the feast and all money raised will assist the hall committee to pay some of the $4,500 insurance fee in November.

The committee hopes to combine the country atmo-sphere of the beautifully renovated heritage listed hall with great local food. The generous stall holders from the New Brighton Farmers Market and Byron/Bangalow Farmers Market will donate produce to get this feast started. Most of the food will be from a 50km radius and if the lunch proves to be a success then these feasts will be held on a regular basis in different locations.

Two of the committee mem-bers are cheesemakers from Tweed Valley Whey Farmhouse Cheeses. They will be provid-ing cheeses and Yalumba wines will be sampling from their range and rep Richard ‘Frosty’ Frost will be matching wines with the platters of food brought out during the lunch. There will also be wine and local boutique beer available to

purchase on the day. These genuine Farmers

Markets are a valuable asset to the region, only the farmers are able to sell their produce and attend these markets so shopping is more of a network-ing experience where you can chat to the farmer and buy the freshest seasonal produce available.

There are 100 seats available for the lunch so hurry up and book to secure your place in this fabulous degustation, mas-tication, farmers’ celebration!

The cost is $40 per head with entertainment, produce displays and local produce raffles to complement the day. Stick around and watch the cows come in for the afternoon milking from the verandah.

Everyone is welcome and there will be a chance to mix with those who have grown the ingredients so pick their brains about starting your own veggie garden. Guest speak-ers will explain the benefits of eating local and fresh and the Burringbar cheese ladies will give you a run down on the cheeses being consumed.

Missing books are the bane of school libraries. English teacher Kelly Twyford at Mullum High has come up with a solution: not only is there an amnesty on returns until October 2, but every book returned puts you in a draw to win stuff worth $100 from Bi-Rite, $50 from Surf Shop or five chocolate vouchers (that’s vouchers to re-deem for chocolate, not vouch-ers made of chocolate, unless the book you’ve failed to return is Willy Wonka). Let’s all check our shelves and cupboards for overlooked borrowings so that the next generation can also ex-perience the joy of reading.

Kathleen of Indooroopilly thanks the people of Byron Bay, who on Saturday, August 15, saved her darling Maltese pup-py Stella, who slipped her lead while being walked. ‘A lovely young lady found her and ini-tially took her to the local police station, but not wanting to leave her in a cage took her home un-til we came to find her.’ Kathleen is so touched with everyone’s kindness (including the police for putting her in touch with Stella’s saviour) that she is mak-ing a $100 donation to the local animal welfare shelter. Hey, go walk about more often, Stella!

Although most of the letters on pages 11-15 were cut for length there were still many that we simply could not squeeze in.

To the older gentleman who stole a wallet at a garage sale on the weekend, it contained the only money possessed by a young man recovering from a recent accident. Hopefully conscience and the fact that three people at the garage sale can identify you will prevail. The money can be returned to

the letterbox of the garage sale. Karma will then be restored.

It probably applies to all the phone companies, but it was a Telstra bill that Backlash received. From next month you cannot pay the notorious gouger by cheque or cash or card without incurring a fee. Unless you pay through their choice of online banking system you’ll be charged $2.20. A fee for paying a bill! Is that even le-gal? The Backlash reaction was promptly to cancel the phone account in question. Has any-one else felt or done the same?

■ ■ ■ ■

Still on phones, one reader sug-gests telemarketers will soon be targeting mobiles. Scammers already rip people off through ‘premium’ services (check out www.accc.gov.au for examples), so it may be wise to list your mobile with www.donotcall.gov.au – and your landline too, if you still have one after Tel-stra’s vicious ‘pay-to-pay’ plan.

The recent Zine Age Riot zine expo at Sea Cell Gallery in the Byron Arts and Indie Estate attracted hundreds. Organiser Craig Rochfort is pictured with his son Rusty who’s reading ‘Art is Fake, 1976’. Craig is a prolific producer of these highly collectable small-run art pieces, which seem more like a Dali landscape than a magazine.
