A big rally in Lismore on Saturday saw communities across the northern rivers making a strong stand against coal-seam gas (CSG) exploration and mining.

Th e Rock the Gate rally was part of a wider move to make the entire northern rivers region a no-go zone for the CSG gas industry.

Aft er a colourful march through Lismore’s CBD, an estimated 7,000 people – from all walks of life – were told how recent actions by sev-eral small communities around the northern rivers declaring themselves CSG-free had ‘gone viral’ and spread to many other towns in NSW.

CSG Free communities organiser Annie Kia told Saturday’s rally that it was the ‘birth of a new movement’ by communities which were ‘mobilising incredibly fast’ to fi ght coal-seam gas mining expansion. Ms Kia said it the grass-roots strategy of empowering

communities to make a stand by de-claring their areas CSG free was be-ing duplicated in villages and streets around Lismore ‘and spreading into Kyogle and the Tweed’.

Fight of our lives Lismore mayor Jenny Dowell

warned that ‘we may have the fi ght of our lives on our hands’ against the giant mining companies who will ‘throw money’ and legal actions to counter anti-CSG protests. But she said they would be hearing ‘loud and clear’ from these communities the message: ‘you are not wanted here so please go away’.

President of the national Lock the Gate Alliance, Drew Hutton, said the campaign that he’d founded two years ago at blockades against CSG mining in southeast Queensland was start-ing to take its toll as investors and bankers behind mining companies became concerned.

‘They’re worried coal-seam gas

might not be a good investment; they’re worried costs are blowing out because they can’t get skilled labour as the industry is growing too quickly in Australia,’ Mr Hutton said. He said one company in Queensland had a cost blowout in the past few months from $22 billion to $34 billion.

As a result, mining companies were ‘whingeing’ to governments to re-move regulatory hurdles that they claimed were making them unviable.

‘But people across Queensland and NSW are jumping up and down, so governments are having to enforce them.’ Mr Hutton said the ‘kernel of resistance’ of the CSG protests was locking the gate to mining compa-nies. ‘It seems everywhere in NSW they’ve locked the gate, and you peo-ple here have locked your town street by street,’ he said to loud cheers.

Th e Byron Shire Council (BSC) has an-nounced massive cuts to community donations and an increase in childcare costs to balance its 2012–13 budget, on top of a 3.6 per cent rate hike.

But Council has defended the budg-et, with a media spokesperson saying, ‘Council has worked hard to create a budget that continues to provide im-portant community services like roads, without placing too much pressure on household fi nances.’

In what BSC’s general manager Graeme Faulkner described as ‘a belt-tightening budget’, average residential ratepayers will be slugged an addi-tional $40 in the coming fi nancial year.

Th e spokesperson also emphasised that the average, total rate increase will be less than $4 a week for a ratepayer.

BSC has also taken $48,000 from its community donations allocation, leaving it with just $30,800 to dis-burse this year. And much of this is al-ready committed to regular donations, previously resolved upon by Council to groups including the Westpac Life Saver Rescue Helicopter and Brun-swick Valley Rescue, Council spokes-person confi rmed.

The amalgamation of neigh-bouring councils has been sug-gested by Byron Bay’s chamber of commerce president, Paul Waters.

The idea, however, has been knocked back by both the may-or and deputy mayor.

Mr Waters is seeking feed-back from his members, which he says could create ‘economies of scale’ that would alleviate the Shire’s deteriorating infra-structure. The comments come after Council’s 2012/13 budget and long-term outlook, which sees Council continue to strug-gle financially with a relatively small rate-base.

Mr Waters told The Echo, ‘Economy of scale seems to work for larger councils and other council areas that have been subjected to amalgama-tion in Qld and Victoria.’

But councillors have disa-greed with the idea, saying the blame lays with the state government’s policies and in-action.

Mayor Jan Barham told The

Echo it would be a disastrous outcome for Byron Shire.

‘No doubt we need more money, but it wouldn’t solve any major issues financially and it would take away the au-tonomy of our residents. We have a right to be different; our reputation is built on that as well as our efforts to protect diversity in the region.’

She said she’s been lobbying at state level for more council infrastructure in recognition of the pressure that tourism has on councils. ‘The only funding from the state government that councils receive [in relation to high-level tourism] is tourism marketing,’ she said.

Region doesn’t have to change: Waters

Mr Waters argues, however, that our region doesn’t have to change to accommodate other shires. ‘As an example, Casso-wary Coast incorporating Mis-sion Beach (not unlike Byron Shire) have amalgamated with surrounding shires. Tully is still Tully, Innisfail is still Innisfail,

Cardwell is still Cardwell... and Mission Beach is still like By-ron. It’s a fear that is unfound-ed – parochialism, or at worst, a drawbridge mentality. I do agree with the mayor that both state and federal governments should tip funds into infra-structure like foreshore parks, toilets and some roads. The old “blame tourism” comment is wearing a bit thin as it’s only a part of the problem.’

Cr Basil Cameron also weighed in, saying that the low rate-base is only part of the story.

‘A major reason for the in-frastructure backlog in Byron Shire is the large number of visitors to the area who are unable to make a financial contribution to the local area through measures such as a bed-tax due to state govern-ment restrictions.

‘Rate pegging does not allow high-growth coastal areas such as Byron Shire to keep service and infrastructure provision up to the pace of population and visitor growth. Cost shift-ing continues to be a burden

for local government taking around six per cent of rate rev-enues.’

‘Byron Shire receives the lowest amount of federal Fi-nancial Assistance Grants paid through the state government compared to other local gov-ernment areas in the northern rivers. Over the last ten years, Byron Shire has received over $50 million less than the high-est recipient in the region (Richmond Valley).’

Failure of state govt: Cr Cameron

‘A key issue for northern rivers communities has been the failure of successive state governments to provide infra-structure within the region, especially in the critical areas of regional roads and public transport. The state govern-ment needs to reform the policy framework it sets for local government and rapidly increase funding for infra-structure if the financial sus-tainability of local government is to be improved.’

Madhatters in Bangalow

Lewis Carroll’s famous tale comes to life for Bangalow Public School’s major fundraiser, the Madhatter’s Tea Party, to be held in the school grounds on Billycart Derby Day – Sunday May 20.

Rumours of Mullumbimby Hospital losing its emergen-cy night doctor appear well founded after its administrator announced video-link technol-ogy is being trialed.

The Echo had received several calls from concerned residents who said they understood that there would be no doctor avail-able in Accident & Emergency (AE) from the hours of 11pm to 7am from the end of June.

When asked to confirm or deny, chief executive of North-ern NSW Local Health District (NNSW LHD) Chris Crawford said the only decision that has

been made is to introduce a telemedicine system that will link the Mullumbimby, Byron and Tweed Hospitals.

‘The introduction of this system will enable a medical officer at the Tweed Hospital to assess patients within the Mullumbimby Hospital ED via the telemedicine video-con-ferencing system. ‘It is being considered whether these pa-tients can be adequately cared for by nursing staff supported by the medical officers from the Tweed and Byron hospi-tals.’ He added an average of around two patients per night attend the Mullumbimby Hos-pital emergency department.

Plans to purchase Mullum’s IGA supermarket as a commu-nity-run business have failed to gain enough private equity.

And it was close, with the bid short of around $250,000.

Mullum Community Gar-dens president Greg Dutton had called on wealthy local investors to buy the supermar-ket as founding stakeholders, and in return they would be bought out by the community in the form of shares.

‘In hindsight maybe I needed to test the investment proposi-tion more thoroughly with our über wealthy,’ he said.

‘However, in reality I didn’t have the time for that – there were three other buyers and we needed to be the fi rst with a signed contract.

‘Over the last eight weeks, I personally spoke to and met 37 of our region’s very wealthy

individuals as potential found-ing stakeholders.

‘I was working on what seemed a reasonable assump-tion – that just four or five stakeholders could comfort-ably provide the two million we needed to complete the purchase, while our greater community get together and buy them out.

‘Without exception they all sincerely applauded the initia-tive and gave it fair considera-tion.

‘It quickly became obvious that if a founding stakeholder invests half a million dollars they would also want to be in-volved – understandably.

‘Perhaps this was the stum-bling block? It seems that nearly all of them are too busy with their current businesses and fi nancial projects to take on what I thought was a rela-

tively small investment in our community initiative.

‘Most of them are also very involved in all sorts of other community and humanitarian projects too.

‘So not one of the 37 invested.‘And there is a huge thank

you due to the fi ve grassroots community members who did commit the $1.8 million.

‘You are very rare and essen-tial people in our community.

‘I’m still getting a fl ood of support from our community and a loud message not to stop – something could still come out of it! And it may well in the fullness of time.

‘It’s not over until it sells to someone else!’

Editorial page 10

Dennetts IGA community bid fails

The spokesperson added that ‘the provision of childcare services was made cost neutral this fi nancial year’ and ‘the new fees are what Council believes will keep the service cost neu-tral next fi nancial year’.

‘Th is means long daycare will increase by $3 per day for chil-dren under three, and $4 for children between three and fi ve.

‘However, it is important to note that this does not in-clude any government rebate a parent receives for the cost of child care.’

BSC’s general manager Grae-me Faulkner said this would be the third consecutive year that the council’s general rates were raised as per the Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribu-nal rate pegging, which was this year set at 3.6 per cent.

‘While good news for the community, it has been a chal-

lenge to arrive at a balanced budget that does not slip into defi cit,’ he said.

Mr Faulkner said 2012–13 would see the General Fund having a forecasted $40,000 budget surplus, which would result in an estimated General Fund Accumulated Working Fund Surplus of $542,900 for the 2012–2013 fi nancial year.

He added BSC would this year spend more than $3.82 million on local roads and drainage; $3.02 million on parks, reserves and sporting fi elds; $2.35 million on prop-erty maintenance including community buildings and pools; $1.21 million on land and environment services; $4.58 million on recycling and waste management; $5.191 million on sewer services; and $9.79 million on water sup-plies in direct maintenance expenditures.

NSW minister for roads Dun-can Gay announced Monday a ‘refi ned concept option’ for the future Tintenbar to Ewing-sdale Pacifi c Highway upgrade Bangalow interchange.

Mr Gay said the roundabout will also be lowered to reduce the level of impact on the Bangalow community from the highway.

‘In response to concerns with the original interchange plan, a working party was formed be-tween Bangalow community representatives and Roads and Maritime Services [RMS] to develop alternative concepts to replace the previously pro-posed interchange.

‘At the time the working party was formed, the people of Bangalow did not want ac-cess to and from the upgraded

highway to their village.‘But from the 298 submis-

sions received from the com-munity, it was clear the ma-jority of the responses in fact wanted access to and from the new highway to be retained contrary to what was originally suggested,’ Mr Gay claimed.

Mr Gay said the the RMS will continue to work with lo-cal residents to address other impacts including noise and lighting as part of the design and building process.

Th e decision report and dia-gram for the refi ned concept design is available on the pro-ject website at www.rms.nsw.gov.au/pacifi c or via the infor-mation line on 1800 882 787 (toll free).

Major building is due to start by mid 2012.

Bangalow interchange option announced

A truck that rolled on the Pa-cifi c Highway late last Th urs-day night caused southbound traffi c to crawl for most of the following day.

Th e vehicle partially mount-ed a roadside embankment before fl ipping back onto the road on its side, about 300 me-tres south of Kennedys Lane, Tyagarah. No-one was injured in the accident.

Banora Point bypass opens in Tweed

Th e accident came just hours before the northbound lane of the Banora Point bypass was declared open to traffic in Tweed Heads.

Federal transport minister Anthony Albanese, member for Richmond Justine Elliot and Tweed mayor Barry Long-land offi cially opened the site Friday morning.

Did the people of Mullumbimby buy their own supermarket?

Greg here with an update from our Mullumbimby Community Supermarket initiative.Did we make it? Not quite. We raised $1.9 million of the $2.15 required to complete the purchase. We were short $250,000 (legally we couldn’t accept the many smaller investment amounts from our community during this stage – only larger amounts from professional [sophisticated] investors).Sadly I had to rescind the contract to buy Dennett’s IGA Supermarket last week or we would forfeit the deposit.

So what happened? Over the last eight weeks I personally spoke to 37 of our region’s very wealthy individuals as stakeholding investors (most of them referred to me by our community).Without exception they all sincerely applauded the initiative and gave it fair consideration. It’s considered an excellent business with great returns. However, it quickly became obvious that if a stakeholder invests half a million dollars they would also want to be involved – understandably.

Perhaps this was the stumbling block? It seems that nearly all of them are too busy with their current businesses and fi nancial projects to take on what I thought was a relatively small investment in our community initiative. Many of them are also involved in other community and humanitarian projects too. Not one of the 37 invested.

Thank you!!A huge thank you to the fi ve grassroots community members who actually did commit the $1.9 million (I’ll keep their names private). You are very rare and essential people in our community. Thank you to our community – without your passion and support we could not have got as close as we did – very inspiring!

Who was the outstanding team behind this?Wroth Wall who I spent the most time with – thank you for your excellent legal advice and unwavering support. You have changed my view of the legal profession (slightly) and I now consider you a close friend.John Robinson for you willingness to take a chance at the outset with your face in this newspaper – and for all of your timely and diligent accounting work – thank you.Graeme Williams, Katrina Shields and Robert Rosen – thank you for your advice, counsel and support of our project in the community.Hans Lovejoy and the Echo team – your press exposure and commitment to independent and balanced journalism was instrumental in spreading the word.Ross Tucker and the Saturday Star - thank you for the position you uphold in our community and for the excellent coverage you provided.Mark Virtue for our fl awless website. Sheia and Tesla for their do-what-ever-it-takes attitude; and Sarah-jane for her excellent project management throughout this intense and demanding initiative.And fi nally Richard (the owner of Dennett’s IGA) – thank you so much for off ering your 15 years of hard work and service to our community in the form of your passion and business. You provided all of us an extremely rare opportunity to come together and collectively own one of our community’s most valuable assets.

Is the possibility of a Community Owned Supermarket now over? Maybe. Maybe not – I really don’t know what could unfold from here!Cheers, Greg…

In the lead-up to Byron Bay Writers’ Festival, four emerg-ing Northern Rivers writers were selected to spend an in-tensive week under the men-torship of acclaimed local nov-elist Marele Day.

Th e mentorship is one of the key programs of the Northern Rivers Writers’ Centre, and this is the eleventh year that Marele has been involved.

‘I genuinely love doing it. I just feel it’s a privilege to see manuscripts in progress and to be privy to people’s imagina-tions,’ Marele says.

‘It’s great to see the freshness of the writing in this area and the openness of the writers to bring their work to an even higher level.’

Th e competitive placement is considered a highlight of a writer’s early career, with many of the program’s past mentees going on to have their work published.

Willa Hogarth, whose work of fiction Room Without Windows reveals hidden fam-ily secrets, travelled from Coff s Harbour to take part.

‘When I heard I’d been cho-sen I imagined it would be a writers’ wonderland and it

was: there was amazing con-nection with the other writers, and for me the highlight was getting feedback from Marele and the others.’

It was the second year that Lennox Head high-school teacher Ali Chigwidden was

chosen for the program, this time working on her young adult manuscript The Black-birds, a story about accidental revenge.

‘It was fantastic to spend a week focusing just on your writing in such a beautiful and

creative setting,’ says Ali, re-ferring to the retreat space at Byron Cove at Belongil Beach.

Not long emerged from the wild, Bellingen’s Claire Dunn is writing her memoir My Wild Heart about living for a year in the bush without matches.

‘I thought the hard work was living in the bush; writing about it is a whole other adven-ture. I’m leaving with renewed faith in my writing and inspira-tion to continue.’

Byron Bay freelance journal-ist Anneli Knight submitted her fi ction manuscript, To The Bones, about fi nding home in a strange land, inspired from her time living in the Kimberley.

‘You spend so much time on your own with your characters when you’re writing, and this week it was like our characters were real people as we talked about them in workshops, over dinner, in the sauna and at the beach.’

As part of the mentorship all four writers are invited to submit their manuscripts to Allen & Unwin and will have a consultation with one of their publishers during the Byron Bay Writers’ Festival in August.

The coalition government’s plan to corporatise Forests NSW is set to costs jobs, slash environmental regulations, and even lead to privatising state forests and plantations, according to critics.

North East Forest Alliance (NEFA) spokesperson Dailan Pugh said that the intent of corporatisation is to shift the focus of Forests NSW from managing state forests in the interests of the NSW public to maximising profits, while minimising ministerial ac-countability.

‘Th ere is currently a timber

supply crisis in northern NSW. ‘In 2004 the government

gave 20-year guarantees of large sawlogs from state forests to millers at levels that simply did not exist.

‘The government has not been able to provide the com-mitted volumes any year since, and has already had to buy back commitments and com-pensate millers for their failure to supply. Only 60 per cent of commitments were able to be supplied last year.

‘Timber commitments must be reduced to sustainable levels now,’ he added.

Aft er a reported ‘wave’ of at-tempted child abductions in Sydney last week, Byron Shire residents were given a scare last Friday when a post began cir-culating on Facebook about an attempt in the area.

‘Byron Bay police have con-firmed that there was an at-tempted child abduction in Baywood Chase in the past cou-ple of days,’ said the social me-dia post. ‘A woman and a man

tried to take two boys, aged 8 and 10. Please pass this message on to other local parents and keep an eye on your midgets – there have been a number of attempt ranging from Lismore right up to the Goldy’.

The Echo spoke to police on Monday and Inspector Darren Steele denied the information circulating the net. ‘Th ere was an occurrence’, he said. ‘The police investigated and are satisfied that it wasn’t an at-tempted abduction’.

Child abduction claims have no basis say police

The public exhibition of the state government’s controver-sial policy to balance agricul-tural and mining interests over land has been extended till Monday 14 May.

NSW planning minister Brad Hazzard said submissions can be lodged up till then at www.nsw.gov.au/haveyoursay.

Farming vs miningTh e plan has drawn fl ak from

both mining and farming lob-bies and, at a recent protest against it in Sydney, farmers said they were betrayed by the plan giving mining supremacy over farming and agricultural

land not protected as promised before the election.

But the NSW Minerals Coun-cil claims the draft policy would cause NSW to lose $1 billion a year in mining royalties for the next two decades, resulting in 8,000 lost jobs, mostly in the coal-rich Upper Hunter region.

NSW Farmers president Fiona Simson said the report showed the government’s fail-ure to provide certainty for both agriculture and mining. ‘It is not a decision between the two; it is about striking a balance and delivering certainty for the future of rural businesses and communities,’ Ms Simson said.

Byron Aged Care has added five new ensuite rooms in a $650,000 upgrade.

Long-term resident Harry Potts (pictured in front), re-ceived one of the new ensuite rooms, which were officially opened at the expansion open-ing ceremony last week.

Harry is often seen on his mobility scooter zooming along Jonson Street, while fellow resi-dent Joan Kite (pictured at back with the funky glasses) can be found most days at Main Beach.

Cr Simon Richardson, who opened the facility, congratulat-ed BAC’s Board of Management and CEO Margaret Geoghegan.

‘It’s wonderful that our old-est aged-care centre welcomes individuals regardless of fi-nancial circumstances, with its philosophy of accepting non-bonded residents.’

Joan Kite described BAC simply as, ‘It’s pure Byron; alive, superb staff, great food, providing freedom and friendliness.’

Police called off a pursuit Tues-day morning along the north-bound lanes of the Pacific Highway for fear of endanger-ing the public, but say their inquiries should lead them to identify the driver.

Th e chase started aft er the stolen Queensland-registered

sedan almost crashed head on into a local driving along Yel-gun Road and then ploughed into the creek. A local wom-an, from Ocean Shores, says she was forced to swerve and brake heavily to avoid a colli-sion. Inspector Greg Jago said inquiries were continuing but police were confi dent of track-ing down the men.

Disability enterprise, the Byron Bay Herb Nursery, last week went solar.

Manager Nick Thom said, ‘Th e new system will increase soil temperatures in our igloos, which will enable our nursery hands to start growing chillies and basils earlier in the colder

months when they are normally more diffi cult to propagate. It will allow us to be more compet-itive in spring when these types of plants are in strong demand’.

Recyclers – beware the bin stickersGarbage warrior Kate Pye takes a peak in our bins and reports the findingsIf you’ve had a blue sticker on your recycling bin of late, you’ve been very naughty and put something in there that’s not currently able to be recy-cled up at our Chinderah Plant.

Plastic bags, newspaper wrapping, food and green waste and chip packets are the most common contaminants.

If you’ve been extremely naughty and your bin is grossly contaminated with any of these items I’ll tell our drivers not to empty it.

It’s amazing how quickly people learn to recycle prop-erly when we put a temporary stop on their service.

I actually like this part of my job; weird garbage lady walk-ing round with a clipboard collecting data, getting curious and often paranoid looks from residents as I lift the lid on their recycling. This is where I learn about the common mistakes people make when it comes to their recycling so I can better educate.

Results for the Byron Shire contamination rates were rela-tively low, with only 15 per cent of bins I checked containing materials that aren’t recyclable.

The best recyclers were By-ron centre, Bangalow, Suffolk Park and Ocean Shores.

A little further behind sur-prisingly was Mullumbimby

and Sunrise in Byron.Wategos bins had the high-

est contamination at thirty per cent of all bins checked. Although this may have some-thing to do with the amount of holiday letters as they are no-toriously poor recyclers as well as the fact that National Parks haven’t provided any public bins up off the beach.

Their reasoning is to en-courage visitors to take their rubbish with them; however, residents are frustrated with beach-goers and their rubbish.

The main contaminant is by far the plastic bag. There are a lot of people who think they can put their recycling inside them and then pop the bag in the recycling bin. Plastic bags

and whatever is in them get di-verted from the recycling plant back to landfill.

The only thing you can positively do with them is take them to the in-store drop-off point at supermarkets.

Plastic bag is main contaminant

There are plenty of reasons to recycle as much material as we can. Recycling paper uses sixty per cent less energy than cutting down new trees.

Recycling steel uses 75 per cent less energy than digging up new materials and even more impressive is the 95 per cent of energy saved when alu-minium cans are recycled.

Plastic bottles take about 450 years to break down in landfill whilst glass bottle take about a million years.

According to Byron Council, waste to landfill is preferably the final stage in the manage-ment of waste. They pride themselves on robust resource recovery initiatives and educa-tion through bin stickers is just one of them.

Let’s keep up the good work and really try to reduce what we send to landfill.

Comment

In his classic dialogue Phae-drus, the great philosopher Socrates anticipated Sig-

mund Freud by composing an allegory for human behaviour.

Man, he said, was like the charioteer in a vehicle pulled by two horses, one white and one black. The white horse was a noble animal, represent-ing reason, virtue and all the higher qualities; the black horse was a base and cantankerous beast, standing for the animal instincts and lower attributes.

It was the task of the chariot-eer to ensure that, with the white horse leading, the two pulled in harmony towards their common goal. On budget night, some two and a half thousand years later, Treasurer Wayne Swan became that charioteer.

Th e white horse was focused on the righteous aim of spend-ing cuts, working towards the unlikely result of a budget surplus. The black horse was obsessed by the unworthy in-dulgence of handouts with the still more unlikely objective of winning the 2013 election. In-compatible, clearly; but in the end Swan did a pretty good job of horse-whispering to keep ei-ther or both within the realm of possibility – just.

But getting there will require some pretty smart driving from here on. Even the target of a small $1.5 billion surplus was only arrived at though some pretty deft juggling of the fi g-ures, and given that the Treas-ury estimate of the previous year’s defi cit doubled from $22 billion to $44 billion within a few months, some equally crea-tive accounting will clearly be required to make the 2013 num-bers add up.

And of course, there were the nasties and the inconsistencies: Swan made great play with the unarguable fact that Australia is economically better placed than any other industrialised country on Earth, but if that is

the case – and it is – surely we should be the fi rst to increase our foreign aid to the under-privileged: instead, we’re pull-ing back from our previous commitment.

And in spite of all the rheto-ric about the budget being La-bor to its bootstraps (whatever they are) many of those in real poverty have been treated with contempt. Th e Newstart allow-ance (or dole, as it used to be called) has been raised by a de-

risory 50 cents a day, making John Howard’s much dispar-aged ‘sandwich and a milkshake’ pension increase look positively lavish. And more people will be forced on to it: single parents are to lose their current payments much sooner.

And the idea that they will be compensated by a twice-yearly present from the government is unacceptably patronising. To get on with their lives people need a living wage they can rely on, not random and arbitrary handouts.

However on the whole, Swan has managed a very difficult balancing act far better than most people expected: the long-promised surplus is there (on paper at least) and it has been achieved with a minimum of pain and quite a few useful re-forms thrown in: the initiatives for disability insurance and the new dental scheme are especial-ly worthwhile. So he, and the government which propelled him to it, deserve credit.

But of course they won’t get it. It is an iron rule of politics that once you have got yourself

into a deep hole anything you do, no matter how well inten-tioned, is only ever seen as a desperate attempt to dig your way out of it. Hence the budget has already become, in the eyes of the majority who have already abandoned Labor, just another cynical ploy to buy back votes with taxpayers’ money.

It’s playing the class war card, an impression reinforced by Julia Gillard’s silly and un-necessary reference to Sydney’s

North Shore. It’s setting the bil-lionaires against the battlers, when everyone knows that they are normally absolute bosom buddies. And no-one has ever done it before, claims The Aus-tralian, lying through its fangs. And so on and on.

If Swan and his colleagues had hoped that with this one bound they might be free, they were kidding themselves: there are an awful lot of hoops to jump through yet.

But they can take some brief comfort from the fact that Tony Abbott’s vacuous diatribe in reply has generally been dis-missed with even less enthusi-asm. Yes, it included one good, if recycled, idea: get more Aus-tralians to learn Asian languag-es, a promise of Kevin Rudd’s made in 2007 but never imple-mented. But apart from that it was little more than sustained abuse occasionally interspersed with voodoo economics.

Like Swan, Abbott is trying to head in two directions at once: economic restraint (scrap the taxes, end the debt) while prom-

ising everyone a motza, and un-like Swan, he has made no at-tempt at all to explain how this magic pudding is to work.

His confusion over the budget measures themselves make the point. He was opposed to the cut in business tax because it was funded by the mining tax.

But when the government gave up on that and proposed to use the same money as handouts under Family Tax Benefi t A, he seemed inclined to let it through.

He opposed the payment for children’s school needs on the grounds that it would be unac-countable; but he is totally in favour of a baby bonus, equally unaccountable. Why was this diff erent? ‘Well, it just is.’ And of course he himself can provide tax cuts not only for business, but for everyone, without either a mining or a carbon tax.

Why, he can fi nd savings of $50 billion just like that. Given that Swan has just taken $45 bil-lion out of the system, this seems improbable; and in any case Treasury estimates that Abbott is already in hock for some $70 billion worth of promises before this new round.

But so what? Just look at the polls. No wonder Peter Cos-tello is gnashing his teeth in the background; all this could so easily have been his. But ru-mours of him making a come-back can be discounted: any at-tempt would involve a serious political fi ght, and Costello has never had the guts for one.

Tony Abbott can afford to coast towards power, untrou-bled by rivals, economics, co-herence or even sanity. It’s what happens next we all have to worry about.

But not, for the next month, me. I’m off to Europe, but not permanently – at least not yet.

Greg Dutton and his team tried hard to gain fi nancial support from our wealthiest to purchase Mullum’s IGA.

While commendable, it is not entirely surprising that it didn’t get up. Enticing a large pack of alpha men (presumably) into a project that would provide Mullum with an alternative to Woolies was always going to be a hard sell.

Imagine having to deal with all that ego? Hopefully it isn’t over and the community still has a shot. Woolies, it should be noted, operates as a corporate

psychopath. While it employs a handful of locals, the company has no interest in Mullum, or any of the towns it benefi ts from.

It is only driven by profi t and presides over the largest share of the nation’s pokie and alcohol market. Along with Coles, they are squeezing Aussie farmers, which is about as dishonorable as it gets.

Only a handful of politicians are prepared to say this and unsurprisingly they are mostly independents. Australian Workers’ Union boss Paul Howes recently said both Woolies and Coles threaten the future of Australian food production. Even the madhatter MP Bob Katter wants an enquiry into their duopoly.

Anyway here’s a few things that our Shire’s wealthiest could do to make a diff erence to our ideologically war-torn Shire.

Step up and be a renegade: get a commuter railway service happening between Bangalow, Byron, Mullum and Billinudgel.

No need for Council approval – it’s state government land. Yes, that’s right, ignore the state – they ignore us anyway – let’s

show Australia that progressive ideals can be followed through with action.

Baseload power from solar has been available for some time now – why not make this Shire an example? I am sure there’s a return in there – if anything just for ego’s sake.

Oh and an artifi cial reef/surf break would be sick. Anywhere from Tallow south or around Bruns. Sweet.

Conduct kerfuffl eI only ever look at Ross Tuck-er’s little pamphlet, The Satur-day Star, when I am checking advertised services to avoid or someone indicates a particu-larly egregious distortion of events has been published.

The Star does not accept let-ters which is probably a func-tion of the standard of literacy of its dedicated readership – so thank the Flying Spaghetti Monster for The Echo.

In a piece titled Conduct Unbecoming (Star, April 12), Ross’s subject is councillors’

acceptance of an independent reviewer’s recent dismissal of a Code of Conduct complaint levelled by a staff member (on behalf of another staff mem-ber?) against Jan Barham.

Unfortunately Ross was un-able to attend the meeting so he has taken as his text the staff report written by the GM – with probably a little help from his friend. This docu-ment (not the fi rst of its ilk from this source) appeared to be mainly an attempt to depict Jan in a bad light. It made no coherent attempt to address

the actual reviewer’s report but it was clear that the GM was very annoyed by the fi nd-ing.

In his article Ross is troubled by ‘a councillor [me] making representations to the Depart-ment of Local Government about a perceived confl ict of interest of a reviewer’ – the re-viewer departed the scene. Ross fi nds it ‘incredible’ that this re-viewer, a lawyer well known to the GM, who has previously supplied a legal opinion unfa-vourable to another councillor

Byron Shire residents make the connection. A small but passionate group gathered on Main Beach as part of a global day of action to ‘connect the dots’ between climate change and extreme weather.

Without a whole lot more people adding their weight to the fi ght for our planet we are not going to make it. We seri-ously are not. Th ere are solu-tions but if a football game or a music festival can attract many thousands to a single event and a world event for global climate change action only draws the few, we have a problem.

We are in serious waters now, with Queensland’s 44,000 coal-seam gas wells a certainty to pollute our water supply, and NSW not far behind them on the fossil fuel proliferation.

We may be at the front edge of wholesale mortality of the world’s forests, says Dr Craig Allen. Renewable energy is being shelved by our govern-ments who fail to connect the dots.

Studies point to a common pesticide as a culprit in de-clining bee colonies in the US and other parts of the world. Bees are vital to life on earth, pollinating 90 per cent of the world’s crops. We can no lon-ger leave our delicate food chain in the hands of research run by the chemical companies

and the regulators that are in their pockets. Without imme-diate action to save bees, crops will fail and food security will become food wars.

More CO2 means more se-vere flooding, bushfires and droughts, yet the average per-son in the street is just not getting it. We need to move quickly towards big solar and renewables

Bringing it closer to home and our own health and well-being: there will be temporary closures of Byron Shire Na-tional Parks due to aerial spray-ing with metsulfuron methyl. I researched metsulfuron methyl since we are going to be once again sprayed from a helicopter with it through out the winter months. Metsulfuron methyl while considered safe did show on the Pan Pesticides Database that this chemical was ‘slightly toxic’ to honeybees – with their note: Population-level eff ects on honeybees may occur even if a pesticide has low acute toxicity. So our bees will be aff ected but perhaps a few million bees is fair collateral damage for the mass eradication of weeds.

We must stop spraying toxic pesticides, especially from a he-licopter in areas of high popula-tion, that can indiscriminately destroy or at the least have det-rimental aff ects on everything in its path.

Connect the dots. It is time we all stood up and said, ‘Here am I, what can I do to help?’

I wonder whether last week’s writer denying global warming would place more importance on the 1998 exceptional El Nino event, or the fact that of the 13 warmest years since 1880, 11 were the years from 2001 to 2011? Trends in data cannot be predicted from exceptions.

Th e CFMEU is an organisa-tion of many Australians who have technical knowledge and experience in the energy in-dustry. I would be happier to follow what they are promot-ing than the few money-per-sons who think little about the physical reality of what their money is doing. Th ey live in a world of conservative opinions with almost zero importance placed on objective truth.

W Boyle, I support the many people with no scientifi c training shouting dire warn-ings about man-made climate change. There are also many of us with scientific training shouting. We have decades of learning and practice, both theoretical and practical in such fi elds as thermodynamics, nuclear physics, optics, atomic physics, physical, organic, and inorganic chemistry, astrophys-

ics, mathematical modelling, mathematical statistics, non-linear systems theory, feed-back control systems, etc. Does this compromise our opinions about reality or does it sharpen them? This is the knowledge that brings deeper understand-ing of the dire risks we are run-ning with carbon emissions.

It is a grave mistake to cher-ry-pick regional climatic rever-sals to try to justify inaction. Complex systems often take steps backwards while trend-ing forwards. Would you lie down in front of a car because you saw one going backwards? Furthermore, would you ex-pect a calm reaction from peo-ple who you recommend lie down in front of cars?

Th e fact is that many people are already dying as a result of climate change and to promote inaction and spurious doubt exacerbates suff ering. We don’t have to be victims of climate change. By controling carbon dioxide we can control the cli-mate and avoid increasing food shortages, mass migrations, and ocean inundation of many major cities in which we have burned a lot of carbon to cre-ate. We have done very little so far and have an enormous task ahead of us and we are running short of time.

on a dismissed Code matter, who was paid $83,000 the pre-vious year for Council work; could possibly be considered by the DLG to have a perceived confl ict of interest…!

He is also aghast over an allegation that ‘a councillor aligned to Cr Barham [me again] approached the com-plainant asking that the com-plaint be reconsidered’. This is not true and I have asked the GM (copy to Ross) for the ‘proof ’ he claims exists; this was on April 30 and no reply to date – don’t really expect one.

Ross implies deep suspicion over ‘fi ve potential witnesses who were not interviewed’. As the whole complaint revolved around one phone call it must have been received in the mid-dle of a staff party.

Obviously the independent reviewer considered the input of additional witnesses was su-perfl uous and Ross’s concerns are little more than ‘shooting the messenger’.

Th ere is more in the same vein and others may take ac-tion in this regard.

In his frustration in not achieving at least a public hanging Ross reminds me of the cartoon character Wile E Coyote – aiming yet another rocket at the mayor to have it explode under his own bum.

Camel rides?During the last week of the school holidays we saw a TV advertisement for the Banga-low market which featured camel rides. Our two young children were very excited by this, so we delayed our return to Sydney in order to visit the market.

After some considerable time trying to locate the rides without success, we made en-quiries with one of the stall-holders who informed us that:

a) the camel lady had not been at the market for at least the past 16 years, and

b) the advertisement was amateurish and severely out-dated and did not portray the true nature of the market.

Our children were very upset and my wife and I annoyed, to say the least. We were directed to the market manager’s offi ce

so as to register our complaint, only to be told that he was not available.

I suggest that the manage-ment promptly extracts its digit and cancel the misleading advertisement, and seriously consider a more up-to-date approach to promoting the market.

Sanctions for peaceOnce again George Franco fails to grasp a point so sim-ple it really shouldn’t need elaborating (Letters, May 8). He claims I avoid providing proof that Israeli singer Mosh Ben Ari was on a propaganda mission for his country but as I did not make the claim his requirement for proof is redundant.

What I said was: ‘although

Mosh sings songs of peace, love and harmony he cannot be considered a serious challenge to the Zionist narrative or else his Australian tour would not be advertised on the websites of the Israeli embassy and the Zionist Federation of Australia. One of Mosh’s colleagues told me that life wasn’t too bad for Palestinians so it’s not surpris-ing that this ignorance leads Mosh to sing in a “vacuum” while, wittingly or otherwise, helping to deodorise Israel’s stinking, illegal practices’ (Let-ters, April 13). Mosh proves the validity of Salman Rushdie’s comment that ‘passivity always serves the interests of the status quo’.

Mr Franco and his Israeli friends disapprove of Israel’s ‘appropriation [don’t you mean ‘theft ’, Mr Franco?] of Palestine

Light on same-sex unions President Obama – married,

a father, a churchgoer and pres-ident of the most religious na-tion in the western world – has now very graciously ‘evolved’ to accept gay marriage as a hu-man right. Without expecting a tandem turn by our own PM – unmarried, atheist, and leader of a mostly sceptical and irreli-gious mob – it would be rather nice to get from her a compel-

ling reason other than personal sentiment as to why she still opposes marriage equality.

Lee AndresenEast Ballina

Now that Obama has come out in favour of same-sex mar-riage I wonder whether Julia Gillard will suddenly see the light? Or will she be waiting for the Pope? Where did govern-

ments get the idea that they have the right to forbid people from activities that impact on no-one except those that freely choose to engage in them? Th e time, money and lives that have been wasted by our rulers on enforcing unjust and im-moral laws is greater than all the wars we’ve ever fought.

[sic] property’ but the essential question here is: what are they doing about it? Criminals like the Israeli government are not dissuaded by disapproval and neither was apartheid South Africa.

As Harsha Prabhu put it so well (Letters, May 8), it was economic sanctions that brought down South African

apartheid and it is precisely a universal Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement that will hopefully bring apartheid Israel into the fold of civilised nations. With many Jews themselves supporting BDS I challenge Mr Franco et al to act on their disapproval and support it.

Gareth W R SmithByron Bay

Back at the beachMy letters regarding Byron Bay surf lifesavers, describing my real-life observations on the beach and rather modest suggestions for improvement, were written off as a ‘rant’ by Dan McCabe and ‘rubbish’ by Heather Black, who castigated The Echo for even printing them. What price, freedom of speech?

The big problem with the let-ters written in reply to mine is that all of the writers seem to equate ‘criticism’ with ‘not caring’, or somehow ‘anti’. This is not true. Additionally, none of the letters actually addresses the points I raised, preferring

instead to just tell me what a dolt I am.

In his letter, Rob Siebert mentions the lifesavers who patrol the beach, and Heather Black tells us that ‘their patrols can be at least six hours in the hot sun and glare’ (the same hot sun and glare that the tour-ists so love), and even Chris Larkin tells me that, should I join the club, I could be out patrolling the beach. Which all brings me back to the main point of my original letter: that the surf lifesavers do not, in my experience, appear to pa-trol at all!

That was the nub of my criti-cism. I have been walking these

beaches at least once a week for the past couple of years and I have never yet seen a lifesaver anywhere on the beach except in very close proximity to the 50 metre flagged area. (Did I get them on a bad day?) And my suggestion that they might spread out a bit more was not made out of malice, but sim-ply out of a desire to make the beaches safer without much additional effort. My com-ments about corralling people into a minute flagged swim-ming area and the very real dangers that lurk therein were simply ignored by all corre-spondents. I am genuinely in-terested to know why we must

have these ridiculously small flagged stretches of beach, where people are crowded in like sardines, on a beach sev-eral kilometres long. Perhaps there is a logical reason? If so, will someone please tell me in-stead of just slagging me off.

Much is made in the letters of the fact that the surf lifesav-ers are working voluntarily, as if that somehow makes things different.

Unfortunately, work is work and whether the lifesavers are volunteers or not does not alter the nature or scope of the job to be done on the beaches (life-saving), nor the need to do it. And, like it or not, Byron Shire Council does pay $175,000 per year for ‘surf lifesaving servic-es’. (Check the budget.)

Thanks for the invites to join the club. Were my cir-cumstances different, and I were much younger, I would have loved to. (I grew up in a landlocked country, but was a beach bum for a couple of years in my youth, before growing up took over as a priority.) I am retired now and I have two volunteer jobs, from which I get a great deal of satisfaction. Thus my spare time is pretty well taken up.

Bullyboy tacticsIt has been said that in order to have good government, the country needs a good opposi-tion, one with the good of the country at heart.

Our present federal govern-ment is faced with an unprin-cipled opposition, hellbent on bringing it down. It is disheart-ening to see the bullyboy tac-tics of the coalition opposing the government at every pos-sible opportunity in its struggle to introduce legislation in Aus-tralia’s best interests.

Sovereign rightsAs a member of The Greens I want to assure readers of The Echo that Bob Brown and the Australian Greens support the rights of both the Palestin-ian and Israeli peoples to their own independent, sovereign state. In addition Clause 36 of our international relations policy states that we ‘support the rights of the Palestinian peoples to statehood through the creation of a viable state of Palestine alongside the state of Israel, based on the pre-1967 borders and the right of all peoples in the region to peace’. Please check out the policy on-line and at the end of the policy the associated resolution on Is-rael/Palestine passed in 2006 which was added to in March 2010 – http://greens.org.au/policies/human-rights-democ-racy/international-relations.

In the 80s and 90s, when I got out more, writer Rod Gibson was a familiar face at Byron Shire bars, plays and art gallery openings. Many of the plays would be his own; at many of the bars he would be perform-ing his own poems – animated, ironic, satirical and sometimes downright silly.

Our paths crossed a little: a friendly hello, a joke or two. A ciggie in one hand, a drink in the other, the demon of schizo-phrenia in his head, Rod most-ly inspired affection and some amazement at the delicious turns his writing could take.

He was no pushover, how-ever. He was a stout defender of local theatre and Rod would lucidly lacerate in the letters to the editor any review of mine with which he disagreed. I sup-pose our minds mostly met in the pages of The Echo, where as then editor I published his poems and reviewed his work.

And I suppose his work re-minded me most of Richard O’Brien’s, the man who electri-fied the stage with The Rocky Horror Show. Nostalgic trib-

utes to the past mix with cut-ting satire and a sense of the absurd – sometimes terrifying, sometimes playful.

So when Rod shuffled off this mortal coil last year, I was sad to hear of the untimely death at age 60 of the ‘Poet Lorikeet of the North Coast’. Writing is a tough gig to make a freelance living from but Rod gave it his best shot and was rewarded episodically on the way and with a deserving obit by Geoff Helisma in the Sydney Morning Herald – http://bit.ly/KOXLoX.

A lot of people who knew Rod well were also saddened. Among them local theatre director Michael Borenstein, who has staged Gibson’s work over the last 25 years, includ-ing the first production of the noted The Fine Art Of Kiss-ing The Ground. It is only fit-ting that Michael is the man to bring together the tribute, Rod Gibson: A Retrospective, for the Drill Hall Theatre Com-pany.

Michael has eschewed many of Rod’s longer, better-known plays and offered up a buffet of short plays, poems and stories.

It works well. The Drill Hall actors – who on this occasion include Rod’s sister, Janet – are very strong and clear in their performances and attack each piece with enthusiasm and skill. Borenstein makes clever use of sound and video, including performances by Rod himself, and a stunning piece of acting by Julie Tweedie in The Beatifi-cation Of Mary McCullen.

The night is an exuberant expression of Rod’s unique in-sight into the vicissitudes and joys of life. Unlike some lo-cal theatre over the years, it is also of a refreshingly bearable length. Fans of Rod will renew their friendship with the man and his work. Those new to his work, and/or poultry lovers, cannot fail to be charmed by his Ghost Chickens.

Rod in retrospective Draw your veg and eat it tooArtist Karena Wynn-Moylan is well known for her detailed and loving examination of lo-cal laneways, beaches, rainfor-ests and heathlands but just re-cently she has turned her focus to a more domestic subject: the food we eat and principally the produce available in our local farmers markets.

‘Produce-d’ is the title of

Karena’s latest exhibition and it is currently showing at the Northern Rivers Community Gallery in Cherry Street, Bal-lina, until May 27.

Karena has published a small book of all the paintings ac-companied by favourite recipes from the farmers market grow-ers. Only 50 copies of the book were printed and it is available

at the gallery or from Mullum-bimby Bookshop.

Karena will also be giving a watercolour workshop at the Northern Rivers Gallery on May 20 so you can draw your veg and eat it too! Ring the gallery to book on 6681 6167. Beginners welcome.

Th e story so farJust before Christmas last year Council issued court proceed-ings against me over three

Coorabell cabins which alleg-edly didn’t have operative fi re alarms. At the time I thought Council staff simply wanted to ruin my Christmas but recent-ly I’ve realised that the timing has another explanation.

Staff have now provided me with details of the case against me, and it turns out that the prosecutions were issued three days aft er I addressed Coun-cil during Public Access. I had told them that three cabins I’d purchased from Clarkes Beach caravan park had had their fi re alarms disconnected and the wires poked back into the walls. I surmised that this was no doubt done by park staff

because they got sick of guests complaining about the alarms going off at the slightest provo-cation. Indeed it’s the experi-ence of landlords that guests oft en remove the batteries from the cheaper kinds of alarm, for precisely the same reason: they are really annoying.

Now you’d think that Com-pliance staff , being so deeply concerned about fire safety, would have been impressed that I was addressing a prob-lem they’d previously identi-fi ed at my property. You’d also think that they’d rush off to Clarkes Beach and other cara-van parks and make sure that no other wires had been dis-

connected. They would then follow with a public campaign to educate people about the diff erent kinds of alarms that are apparently available, right?

Wrong. All they did was use my statement to Council as proof that my cabins had defective fi re alarms! In other words they are attempting to use my own words to incrimi-nate me.

One might ask why they needed this evidence when they presumably had well-documented notes and photo-graphs from the raid conduct-ed last September. That raid was based on a search warrant that specifi cally allowed staff to

look and go inside the cabins (and the cops who went along, too).

Th is is where it gets interest-ing, because I’m 99 per cent sure that that search warrant was invalid and should not have been issued. Aft er the raid I complained to the Attorney-General’s Department that Council staff had provided no prima facie evidence whatso-ever that I’d done further illegal building since their previous raid two years earlier. Th e A-G’s reply stated that the only way to challenge the search warrant was if Council at-tempted to use the evidence gathered during the raid. In

that situation you can ask the magistrate to declare it invalid and to rule out all the evidence gathered.

Ratepayers’ funds are at risk simply because in this type of prosecution I can ask for costs if I win. If I lose I will certainly appeal to a higher court. I can also sue for trespass.

I’ve asked Cr Tabart to draw this matter to councillors’ at-tention. Having delegated all their responsibility to staff, these councillors wouldn’t have the foggiest about either the facts or the issues involved. Pontius Pilate would be de-lighted.

Personally I don’t care whether Council proceeds with the prosecution or not. Th ere’s an election coming up in September and a court case, while stressful, also provides a useful forum for awakening the sleeping masses. When courts agree with you your credibility can only go up.

Keep our kids safeYes, great! Security cameras may capture the crime but it doesn’t prevent our young peo-ple from harm. A recent trip to Byron Bay on Friday night with friends to catch a movie. Pleasant enough, one would think, but coming out onto the street to see young people queuing outside a venue with a large percentage of those al-ready intoxicated, especially young females.

Are these venues allow-ing intoxicated persons and serving alcohol for a few ex-tra bucks? Are the so-called responsible adults turning a blind eye? Why are they still open aft er midnight? Have we not consumed enough alcohol already?

Are our youth not impor-tant enough to make changes to fi nd funding that could po-tentially save a life? Let’s forget the security cameras and secu-rity guards; they won’t save our kids. Let’s get funding to get BYS Street Cruise happening all weekend. Let’s get water sta-tions happening around Byron. Let’s get involved as a commu-nity to help our kids stay safe.

Jim Hightower is one of the most exciting and knowl-edgable commentators on American politics and this Wednesday May 16 he’ll be in conversation with Kerry O’Brien at the Byron Commu-nity Centre.

It’s a rare opportunity to gain insight into the inner workings of the biggest economy/coun-try on the planet.

Hightower was elected Texas commissioner for agriculture – twice – and in that offi ce he advocated for sustainable local and organic farming for small farmers mostly running fam-ily farms, and for the rights of immigrant labour, all the while working to curb the powers of agribusiness. Not surprisingly, this landed him ‘in the sights of the corporate sharpshooters.’

Specifically, George Bush Jr and his campaign manager Karl Rove, who saw Jim as a potential big-vote-winning Democratic governor candi-date. Back in the 1980s, Rove got his FBI pals to try to ruin Jim with scuttlebutt and law-suits. Th at failed, but a couple of Hightower’s staff members had their lives made miserable and Hightower opted out of electoral politics.

‘Th ese guys can be seriously bad for your health,’ he reck-ons, so he resumed his career as a writer and public speaker – an agitator in fact, which, as he likes to point out, is the post in the middle of the washing machine that gets the dirt out!

His radio commentaries, delivered in his lively Texas accent over peppy music, play every day on dozens of com-mercial AM stations not usu-ally given to airing the views of (American-style) liberals… but Hightower says he’s not so much a liberal as he is a pro-gressive populist.

What’s a progressive populist you ask?

Here’s how Hightower put it in a recent issue of our month-ly newsletter The Hightower Lowdown:

‘Th ese days, there’s a whole fl ock of politicos and pundits [claiming to be populists] – from Sarah Palin to Rush Limbaugh, Newt Gingrich to Glenn Beck. Th ey are abetted by a media establishment that carelessly (and lazily) misap-plies the populist label to any-one who claims to be a mav-erick and tends to bark a lot. Although the targets they’re usually barking at are poor people, teachers, minorities, unions, liberals, protestors, environmentalists, gays, im-migrants, or other demonised groups that generally reside far outside the centre of the power structure – the barkers are indiscriminately tagged as populist voices.

‘First of all, populism is not a style, nor is it a synonym for “popular outrage.” It is a historically grounded politi-cal doctrine (and movement) that supports ordinary folks… against the moneyed elites. Fully embracing the egalitarian ideals and rebellious spirit of the American revolution, pop-ulists have always been out to

challenge the orthodoxy of the corporate order [which] dis-tinguishes the movement from classic liberalism, which seeks to live in harmony with con-centrated corporate power by trying to regulate its excesses.

‘We’re seeing liberalism at work today in Washington’s Wall Street bailout. Both par-ties tell us that AIG, Citigroup, Bank of America, and the rest are “too big to fail”, so taxpay-ers simply “must” rescue the management, stockholders, and bondholders of the fi nan-cial giants in order to save the system. ‘Populists, on the other hand, [say:] Let’s reorganise the clumsy, inept, ungovernable, and corrupt fi nancial system by ousting those who wrecked it, splitting up its component parts (banking, investment, and insurance), and establish-ing decentralised, manageable-sized financial institutions operating on the locally-con-trolled models of credit unions, co-ops, and community banks.’

Jim is extremely tuned in to the US political establishment, and to the very many centres of opposition and reform across the USA. He knows all the players, and he’s in major de-mand as a public speaker.

Speaking with Kerry O’Brien at the Byron Community Cen-tre on Wednesday is his fi rst public appearance on his fi rst-ever trip to Australia. He’s ea-ger to share his knowledge and progressive populist perspec-tive with an Aussie audience, so come with questions and comments at the ready. And Community Table Café man-ager Amanda Gorr says she’s working on a special cocktail to be off ered at the cafe tomorrow night only, called – a Hight-ower, of course.

Phillip Frazer and Jim High-tower are co-publishers of the Lowdown newsletter.

20 May 15, 2012 The Byron Shire Echo www.echo.net.au<echowebsection=Green Scene>

Humans have been using water power for thousands of years. Uses ranged from milling grain to powering sawmills and crushing ore.For the last hundred years we’ve been using dammed water to produce some of

the cheapest renew-able energy – hydro-electricity. Now a Western Australian company called Carnegie Wave Power has developed an underwater pumping system

that is set to replace

dams in the quest for

hydro-electricity.

CETO (after Greek ocean goddess Ceto) is a fully submerged pumping technology. Submerged buoys or actuators are moved up and down by the ocean swell driving the pumps that drive a stream of water onshore.Once onshore the

pressurised water drives

‘off-the-shelf’ technology to create zero-carbon hydro-electricity and/or to desali-nate water using reverse osmosis (RO desalinates water using pressure rather than heat).As the actuators sit about two metres below the surface they don’t interfere with shipping, have no visual impact and are not affected by weather. A one-pump CETO plant is under construction at Garden Island off Perth. It will deliver 2MW into the WA grid some time in 2013.Larger plants are currently under development in

Bermuda, Canada, Ireland and Réunion Island. It isn’t difficult to imagine that, as the system matures and components are mass produced, CETO could be

deployed right around the country producing cheap electricity and water 24/7 wherever necessary. Find out more atcarnegiewave.com.au.

WATER-SAVING TIPS FROM ROUS WATERDid you know about 40 percent of the water in an average household is used in the bathroom and toilet?

If you want to save water this is the best place in the house to start. The first thing to do is to check that you have water-efficient fixtures and fittings including water-efficient show-erheads (at least 3-star WELS rated) and a dual flush toilet.

Just by converting an old sin-gle-flush toilet to a dual-flush

can save the average home up to 35,000 litres per year. Rebates are currently available to convert to water-efficient toilets and showerheads.

Check the Rous Water web-site for terms and conditions and further information.

AUSTRALIAN ETHICAL: INCREASING SUPPORT FOR THE COMMUNITYAustralian Ethical donates 10 per cent of its company profit each year – one of the highest levels of corporate giving in

Australia based on percent-age of profits. It donated more than $150,000 to 22 charities through its 2011 community grants scheme, bringing the total amount gifted to commu-nities over the last 11 years to more than $1.28 million.

Grants range in size from $3600 to $35,000 and include donations to charities that work across Australia and overseas.

Two major project grants of $35,000 each were made in 2011 to Carpets for Commu-nities and Men of the Trees.

Carpets for CommunitiesCarpets for Communities helps families in Cambodia out

of poverty through the creation of a social enterprise – making carpets for sale. This scheme offers an alternative source of income to families that have children working or begging in the local flea markets.

Their $35,000 grant will be used to enable ten mothers to join the program, and within 48 hours of a mother entering the program their children can be off the streets and back in school.

Men of the TreesMen of the Trees have been working with Western Aus-tralian farmers since 1979 to implement large-scale revegetation projects in the

wheatbelt. Since that time it has planted more than 11 mil-lion seedlings to prevent the spread of deserts, erosion and salinity.

Men of the Trees will use their $35,000 grant to fund reveg-etation of a highly degraded landscape in the wheatbelt of Morbinning, east of Perth.

Applications for the 2012 community grants scheme are now open. For details go to http://australianethical.com.au/supporting-community.

IT’S BEEN A DECADE BETWEEN SOLO ALBUMS FOR DAVID ADES, BUT AFTER A TRIP TO NEW YORK HE RETURNS WITH AN IMPRESSIVE NEW WORK GLORIOUS UNCERTAINTY: AN ALBUM DEDICATED TO HIS FATHER, JOE ADES, FAMOUS IN NEW YORK AS THE ‘PEELER GUY’. Every day Joe left home to sell vegetable peelers on the street, setting out alone each morning pushing a cartful of carrots, potatoes and a chopping board. Every day for him was an improvisation. Now it’s David’s turn. As comfortable on the street as he is in the Sydney Opera House, Dave Ades is a world-class musician, with music in his heart, and a story to tell.Why did you decide to travel back to New York for this album? I lived in New York for three years from the age of 19 and also since 2004 I’ve been going back there every year for at least a few months at a time. I’ve been able to forge some great playing relationships with some amazing players over there and it always feels like a second home to me as soon as I hit the sidewalk.What is it about New York that is so evocative for you? The music is the main thing, that’s what draws me there every year; it’s like a devout Muslim having to go to Mecca. It seeps out of every building and street, there a charge in the air unlike anything I’ve felt elsewhere that never fails to uplift and inspire me. Your father had a wonderfully humble and useful profession – how has that inspired you, as a musician (who are notoriously not humble and not useful!)? My father lived of his wits his whole life; he truly knew how to live a day at a time and took life as it came to him. He was a master improviser in that he would launch himself into his daily work with no foreseeable knowledge about how that would pan out or where he would end up or how much he would end up with! For those that aren’t familiar with him, Joe Ades was a master street trader on the streets of New York; Google his name or put it into YouTube and you will be intrigued and entertained for hours.Was it your father who gave you a love of jazz? I’m interested how a young boy coming through the sixties was seduced by the allure of his father’s music, at a time when popular music culture was so dynamic? Yes, it was my father who gave me my love of jazz, and it was also the 60s and 70s that also game me my love of popular music of the times. My first conscious choices in things I wanted to listen to were groups such as The Stones, Led Zeppelin, Jethro Tull, The Flock, Santana, Pink Floyd etc. I started playing the drums at age 10 and my drum teacher played me a record of Elvin Jones with John Coltrane and that blew my mind. What was it about jazz for you? Was the alto sax the first choice of instrument for you? I loved playing the drums but I was never that serious about it. I remember reading a book about Charlie Parker, one of the greatest alto saxophonists who ever lived, just before my 18th birthday. It was the first time I had ever really contemplated how a musician could play from his or her inner experience and

communicate an inner voice through improvising. I then went out and bought an alto saxophone and that’s where all the trouble started!Tell me about the musical influences for this album. There is so much to draw from. The one thing I tried to do was write some music so that the players I chose could relax and play without having to think to much about complicated structures. I wanted to great an organic musical environment that encourages individual expression rather than dictates a specific style. After a decade or more, why have you decided to make a solo album? Making a solo album is always an opportunity to dig deep inside oneself and find out what’s there. I like to think of this record as much more of collaboration than a solo album with side players who accompany the soloist. We all solo together!Tell me a little about the two tracks Melissa and Joe the Kid, as two people you have loved and lost, what is the story you are telling with your dedication? I have tried to write pieces in Melissa’s memory before and I had always gotten stuck because I was trying to capture a feeling that was too overwhelming. Joe the Kid didn’t reveal its title until I sat back and listened when we were mixing and I thought, I can hear Joe on his way to work.As a collaborative artist – what do other musicians bring to you – what changes in the playing of David Ades with each collaboration? For the launches around Australia I have used a different band in each city; it’s cheaper to just fly myself around and also I love the way each combination has brought something new and surprising to each performances. Hence, even though we are playing the material of the album it is never the same from one night to the next. I love it when musicians I play

with play with me rather than for me in an accompanying role; that for me is when the magic happens, everyone plays so differently and it always affects my playing.With Glorious Uncertainty what did you set out to achieve? I wanted to make an album that has some authenticity. I wasn’t interest in making an album of saxophone with accompanying rhythm section, there’s thousands of those out there, and for me they get really boring. I wanted to try to create something that was fresh and alive, emotionally direct and that wasn’t about me being in control of the music.Do you feel that you got there? (The reviewers certainly do.) Or do you have to allow the music to take you rather than your conscious intention? It’s only in hindsight that I feel we got there. When we played in the studio that day, we had had only one rehearsal that day before, and we recorded the album in five hours with no listening to takes as we did them, so… yes, the music certainly carried us into the glorious uncertainty that day.Is improvisation more than a way of playing; does it become a philosophy? I think these days there is so much accessible information about how to improvise out there that even though certain players are incredible in their virtuosity and command of the jazz idiom, they have become almost formulaic in their approach. I have for many years endeavoured to live a day at a time and take life as it comes and I try to play from my heart rather than my head. I try and stay open to all possibilities in life and music.What are you thinking when you play? Does it stop, do you think ahead like, ‘I’ll race ahead and close the gate’ OR is it purely about staying in a state of open responsiveness? Or does someone have to lead… I don’t know where this came from but I have always tried

ARE YOU AUSTRALIA’S NEXT SUPER DJ?Back in 2010, someone came up with the concept of a revolutionary style of DJ competition. Unlike anything to come before it, ‘YOUR SHOT’ offered young guys and girls from all over Sydney a shot at the bigtime – to become DJs, capable of playing at the best clubs and festivals all over Australia and the best part was no DJ experience was necessary to enter. More than 4,000 hopefuls applied in less than two weeks, with 72 contestants selected for the competition. They received six weeks of full DJ training, and performed their very first set in front of soldout crowds at The Greenwood Hotel. The result, one winner taking home a life-changing prize, including a set at a major summer festival and so much more. Now two years on, ‘YOUR SHOT’ has made an undeniable impact on the Australian club and dance scene, with sellout tours across Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, more than 500 contestants, amazing prizes and a long list of winners and past contestants (60%) who have scored residencies and gigs at some of the biggest nightclubs, events and festivals across Australia. So do you have what it takes? If you’re over 18 and want to be Australia’s next big DJ, register now at: http://www.yourshot.com.au.

Registration closes 12pm Thursday 24 May, so get that vinyl spinning.

CARTEL AT THE NORTHERNAll over the circuit everyone is talking about Tijuana Cartel. Presenting dynamic fully flavoured dance beats with eastern and western overtones, these guys are psychedelic charmers. The band spent the front end of 2011 riding high on the wings of their breakthrough single White Dove , and its follow-up Letting It Go . The Gold Coast collective then set off on an audacious 32-date national road odyssey for the

remainder of the year to promote their epic third album M1 . After a well-earned break over new year Tijuana Cartel is back prepping a new live show, sporting a new single and ensuring that their

passports are seaworthy! Offer Yourself is the band’s first release since M1 , and marks the first result of their recent, and ongoing, collaboration with EMI A&R boss, producer-type guy Scott Horscroft (360, Presets, Empire Of The Sun). Offer yourself to the Tijuana Cartel at the Hotel Great Northern on Saturday.

IN A FLAPTo celebrate the Vitamin release of their new album A Great Day For the Race , Flap! make their way to Coorabell Hall for the next hot and brassy instalment.

Their story began when Flap! formed during an informal jam at the 2007 Port Fairy Folk Festival. True to those roots they’ve since gone on to become firm festival favourites countrywide, having torn it up everywhere from Port Fairy to Woodford, Falls, Adelaide Fringe, Apollo Bay, Melbourne Jazz, Rainbow Serpent, the National Folk Festival and many more.

Flap! are not your everyday band. Influenced by the 1920s prohibition-era dance bands but with a hip modern groove, Flap! feature an unusual but exceedingly effective lineup of banjo-ukulele, cornet, trombone, double bass and drums.

Musically corner-stoned by Eamon McNelis’s pivotal trumpet, Jess Guille’s dulcet vocals, slinky upright bass and watertight drums, A Great Day For The Race sets up a riot of colour and rhythm right from onset.

Saturday at Coorabell Hall. www.coorabellhall.net

ASH IN NEW TROUBLESince 2010’s award-winning album Hot Mama Vibes , Ash Grunwald’s life has been sizzling. After years of surfing the arctic waters of Victoria, Ash bundled up his two main ladies – his beautiful wife and cheeky daughter – and headed north to the warmer shores of NSW. His track Walking played a starring role in the Hollywood movie Limitless , new friendships were formed with Kram from Spiderbait and Vika and Linda Bull and a new home with a new home studio were built, from which was birthed his brand-new album Trouble’s Door . In the new songs, Ash – along with his good pal and dubstep sideproject partner Fingers – has created his most internal album to date, one that found life through the fiery breath of injustice; the frustration of severe political and environmental mismanagement. ‘It’s some of my most personal songwriting,’ Ash says of Trouble’s Door. ‘I had just done a benefit gig to stop coal-seam gas mining. There were other issues going on at the time, you can take your pick

COMING:

to empty my head as much as possible when I play so I start with nothing, so yes, a state of open responsiveness. You will hear habitual things that are part of the language I use but I have never consciously learnt licks thinking I’ll play that lick when I get to that chord. I love the feeling of jumping into the musical abyss where it can either work like there’s magic happening or fall dead on its arse. That’s the beauty in the risk.

Why did you choose these particular artists – Tony Malaby, Mark Helias and Gerald Cleaver? Tony Malaby is my absolute favourite living saxophonist, his sound is incredible, his approach is always surprising and new, he is a beautiful human being and that comes through his music.

I met Tony, Mark and Gerald at the 2000 Wangaratta jazz festival where I, Scott Tinkler and James Greening were invited to expand Mark’s trio Open Loose into a sextet for two performances. Since those gigs I have stayed in touch with each of them, I go and hear them every chance I get when I’m in New York and a friendship has developed over the years that I will always cherish.

Mark is an astonishing musician, he is not only one the most influential of modern improvising bass players in the world today, he is also an incredible composer. I got to hear the premier performance of his first symphony on my last trip to New York. Mark also produced the album and mixed it at his home.

Gerald is again one of my favourite drummers in the world, he has a way of playing and you can hear it on the record, where he is so subtle but at the same at time immensely powerful and driving but always in a completely surprising way.

Tell me what to expect for your Bangalow show – who are the players? For the launch party in Bangalow on Thursday, the fantastic Cameron Undy on bass and David Goodman on drums are coming up from Sydney. I did the launch with them in Sydney at the 505 with Mat Keegan on tenor sax. For this gig Zac Hurren will play tenor saxophone, he is another great saxophone player, married to the sublime Katie Noonan and member of the band Elixir. I am really excited about this gig and playing at home to the people I love in our community.

Dave Ades and friends launch Glorious Uncertainty at the Bangalow Bowling Club on Thursday. Doors open at 7pm, show at 8pm. Tix are $15.

There is nothing like a good old-fashioned protest. It’s better than a family fun day. Nothing brings a community together like dissidence. While we join our fellow anti-CSG campaigners to show our displeasure with the evil intentions to extract gas from our rolling valleys, there’s a strange debt of gratitude that we owe to the multinational monsters. There’s nothing like an impending corporate rape and pillage to bring the people together. In a world that has become so focused on iCulture, where everything is about the individual, it sometimes feels like we really are alone. Social agitation brings a community together. Young men with dreadlocks walk beside old men with no shirts beside a woman with a pram beside a middle-aged couple holding hands, beside a lesbian, beside the mayor. When thousands of people gather with a shared vision, it’s a powerful thing. Last week I attended the Anti-CSG Rally in Lismore, along with thousands of other concerned locals. While the prospect of companies extracting coal seam gas is depressing, the rally was invigorating. The socialist refrain echoed in my ears ‘the people united shall never be defeated’. Ah,

it’s been too long between protests. Growing up in Queensland during the Bjelke years, protesting was a weekly occurence. In fact it was a social outing. Joh had made walking in public with more than three people a civil offence. In theory you could be arrested linking arms with girlfriends Doris Day-style dancing through the mall. Sometimes I didn’t even know what I was protesting about. It didn’t matter. Whether it was for women’s rights to abortion or to form a union or land rights for the notorious gay whales, it didn’t matter, feet were on the pavement and the fist was raised. Every Friday we’d gather for a march, we’d yell at the cops, someone would get arrested and then we’d all go home and get stoned and write passionate letters to the editor of the Courier Mail, or the, which we’d actually write by hand, and submit by post, cigarette charred and wine stained. There is nothing like the thrill of chaining yourself to a tree. If you’ve never done it than put it on your bucket list. The brothers and sisters of the Terrania Creek action know the commitment it takes to save one of the green planet’s highest form of evolution. You have to become one with the tree. And of course you need a chain. And a reliable person to hold the key. I once chained myself to a tree and was stuck for days when my so called friend met a cute bloke from the Socialist Alliance and disappeared, only to eventually reappear well shagged and keyless. I ended up saving the tree, but lost a friendship. Perhaps I should have chained myself to her instead.

It’s so exciting to see people power. For generations we have stayed

indoors; it’s not since Vietnam that so many feet have pounded pavements, so many fists raised in outrage. I was worried that this generation of children would grow up completely complicit with their government, with absolutely no experience of being anything except compliant little constituents just sucking it up. There’s nothing like a good dummy spit by the little people, sending a flesh-and-blood message to corporate captains that they are not welcome, that unless they heed the message sent by communities the people will be a thorn in their paw. If other communities around Australia join forces, if they become active in their dissent, then there’s more thorns for company paws. Like Kev Carmody and Paul Kelly sang in their song about Vincent Lingiari, From Little Things, Big Things Grow. So as long as we lock the gate (providing of course you have a gate – might have to pop down to Bunnings) realising at the same time that like in Zen, we are the gate.

Keep CSG out.

really, and it occurred to me that our system just doesn’t work. We are experiencing the result of rampant unchecked capitalism.’ Ash doesn’t pretend to present answers; Trouble’s Door merely mirrors the modern twists and turns on the same old lesson never learned: a government’s willingness to trade the future for a dollar.

STRANGEST MAN IN TOWNOnce touted as one of the strangest men in acoustic music by Spectrum magazine, fi ngerstyle guitarist Richard Gilewitz lives up to this depiction with his rousing performances fi lled with amazing chops, humour, and a history of the acoustic guitar from blues to folk, traditional to classical and somewhere in between.

According to 20th Century Guitar magazine, ‘A powerhouse of eclectic guitar styles and genres, Gilewitz wears his infl uences well’. Richard welcomed the challenge of mastering and adapting many styles of music for the acoustic guitar – a trait that continually places him among a multitude of genres. Richard began honing his skills both as a performer and composer during the late 1970s, playing the local coff ee-house circuit while pursing degrees in Computer Science, Mathematics, and Music. Soon the pull of his passion for performing and recording was so compelling that Richard left corporate life to teach and perform full time in a career that has propelled him across countless countries. Richard has now released seven LP recordings. Today, acknowledged as one of the unique and most humorous performers on the contemporary acoustic scene, he is respected worldwide for his command of the six- and 12-string guitar. He continues to work on his craft under the direction of classical guitarist David Walbert. Whether playing solo, conducting guitar seminars and school programs, or sharing the stage with fellow performers, Richard Gilewitz always creates a sparkle of mood mastery and wonderment.

ROUND MOUNTAIN BEACH GIRLS After two blistering shows at Bluesfest this year, the Round Mountain Girls are back in town playing the Beach Hotel this Friday night. The lads certainly know how to mobilise a crowd, able to have them dancing well before the fi rst chorus of the fi rst song.

‘Bluesfest was an amazing experience for us,’ commented enigmatic frontman Chris Eaton. ‘We’ve really loved the growth of our band over the past two years. Bluesfest has been a big part of that ’cause it’s given us the confi dence to keep writing and doing what we’re doing while also giving us the opportunity to play in front of large numbers of people!’

The fi ve-piece has recently returned from the Wintermoon Festival near Mackay and the Urban Country Music festival in Caboolture, where they delighted unsuspecting audiences with their high-energy, celtic-punkabilly-country-roots-infused tunes. RMG write the catchiest tunes

and perform some of the best cover versions you’ll ever hear. Entry is free. Show starts at 9:30pm.

BEACH FYAHFyah Walk blaze another show in Byron this Sunday afternoon at the Beach hotel 4–7pm. Being in the studio and adding newer songs to their upcoming new album, the band comes with increased vitality playing original songs with a new edge, with the 11-track album coming soon taking

the reggae sound to new dimensions. Come see the high-energy show and burn some FYAH.

PLANTATION SUNDAYSLadies and gentlemen, an exciting

new blues band has emerged from the Northern Rivers area.

Comprising some of Australia’s most accomplished and seasoned musicians, the aptly named Blues Plantation play a variety of early American, British and Australian blues grooves with raw authenticity. The group joins Canned Heat’s James T and Bourbon Street/Feramones front man, Colin Germano (aka: Col Meredith), both on guitar, vocals and harmonica, with Radiators/Hi Home I’m Honey drummer and pianist Mick Buckley. Completing the lineup is Tokyo Joe legend and local solo artist Craig Scott (aka: Toke) on bass. Richly inspired by such blues greats as Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, Willie Dixon, Robert Johnson, Bo Diddley and the like, Blues Plantation also draw from the fi rst-generation white blues of Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Rolling Stones, George Thorogood, Eric Clapton and, of course, Canned Heat.

James T is widely known for his 10+ years in the legendary American blues band that played at the original Woodstock in 1969. His open-tuned guitar style, gritty blues vocals and wailing harmonica provided Canned Heat its trademark sound though the 80s and 90s. Although Colin Germano is widely remembered as the dynamic rock vocalist and songwriter for 80s/90s rockers Bourbon Street, he is more recently known for his role as lead singer in the Byron-based supergroup, The Feramones. As a solo artist, he plays as Col Meredith, under which name an LP entitled Fine and 27 is to be released later this year. On drums is Mick Buckley who, at the age of seven, was drawn to the Jerry-Lee Lewis style of piano playing. In the 80s he broke into the live circuit as the hard-rocking drummer for Australian stalwarts The Radiators. After touring the USA Mick returned home to Australia and called on some old mates from Noiseworks, The Radiators and Ted Mulry to form The Yeehaa Boys, playing honky-tonk

piano. Now settled in the Northern Rivers area, Mick is back on the drums with Blues Plantation. Craig Scott, better known as Toke, came across the pond from Rotorua, NZ in 1989 and quickly formed the Lennox-based rock band Tokyo Joe. The group went on to become a Northern Rivers favourite for many years, during which time he also played in popular 70s covers duo Two in a Groove with Col Germano. Since then, Toke has earned the reputation as a gifted songwriter, vocal

harmony specialist and an outstanding bass player. The common thread running through Blues Plantation is the broad appeal of their soulful, rhythmic sound. People of all ages dig the grooves and the band and audience often become one. Whatever direction the group takes on any given night, all roads lead to the dance fl oor.

Blues Plantation at Hotel Brunswick on Sunday.

YOGHURT AT THE BREWERYVitamin-Q Byron Bay vol 6 get ready to launch their urban groove at the Byron Brewery Buddha Bar in early June. Mark 2 June in your diary and you’ll catch an amazing DJ from Japan: ecstasy maker, DJ YOGURT. Promising to ferment the dance fl oor into a deliciously delightful and creamy zone of fun and mayhem.

FULL MOONSTONEMoonstone play the Billinudgel Hotel this Friday. The band has been described as funky jazzy and rocky. With Petra Vine’s soulful yet sensitive vocals and Bobbe Thornton’s expertise on bass guitar, Rainer Grimms awesome lead guitar and Gil Rasmussin laying down the groove on drums. The band has covers from 50s till now ensuring everybody has something to dance to. Moonstone at the Billinudgel, a night that is sure to rock.

RING BEARER IN BYRONThis Saturday, Wayfarers Australia present The Ring Bearer at the Byron Community Centre. The choral group was started in 1997 by composer/choral conductor/music educator Judith Clingan AM. From its inception, the choir has been an Australia-wide organisation with the aim of giving people of all ages and backgrounds the opportunity to discover the joys of choral singing. This is an all-ages show.

50S REVIVAL AT THE BREWERYRelive the 50s with a night of Rock and Roll Rockabilly dancing to raise funds for the Bodhi Tree Forest Monastery and Retreat Centre near Lismore. The night will feature 50s dance demos from the Lismore Summerland Rockers along with prizes for the best dressed person, door prizes, auctions and raffl es.

GETTING SOME BUSINESS SAVVYOne of the greatest challenges facing creative people is how to turn their passion into a business. Sure it’s great to be an artist, but if you don’t have any business ability you’ll probably fail. Look at poor old Van Gogh: now if he’d had access to a TAFE course or perhaps the Australian Film Television and Radio School (AFTRS) course, then he could have had a very diff erent life. He might have even kept his ears. They will be conducting Running Your Own Creative Business to Kingscliff (Thurs 24 May) and Lismore (Fri May 25).

LOOK BACK WITH HUMOUR: THE WORK OF ROD GIBSON We have a review in The Echo this week, but this is a reminder not to miss the tribute to Rod Gibson at the Drill Hall Theatre this Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Rod Gibson was a poet and a playwright and a damn fi ne bloke. Having lived a good part of his life with schizophrenia, Rod wrote about his experience with humour and

pathos. His wit was fi nely tuned and I have to admit that my absolute favourite was his ode to a local chicken farm called Chicken Auschwitz. Friday and Saturday shows at 7.30pm and Sunday at 5pm.

TRAVELLING FILMSThe Sydney Travelling Film Festival is coming to town, screening nine features and three shorts from seven diff erent countries, at Dendy Cinemas this Friday to Sunday. From the opening-night fi lm on Friday with Life in Movement , a celebratory doco about the acclaimed Australian dancer and choreographer Tanja Liedtke, to the closing-night fi lm, Weekend, an unconventional love story from England, the festival off ers a selection of exceptional international fi lms, with four fi lms screening on Saturday and four on Sunday.

THIS FRIDAY, VITAMIN RECORDS SHOWCASE THREE OF THEIR FINEST INDIE ARTISTS IN A GIG THEY ARE CALLED HEAVY FOLK. THIS FRIDAY SEES THE BRINGING TOGETHER OF THE ROCKY WITH THE WHIMSICAL WITH THE ROMANTIC WHEN VICTORIANA GAYE (FROM THE SOUTH-WEST COAST OF VICTORIA), REBECCA IRELAND AND ILONA HARKER PLAY THE MULLUM BOWLO. SEVEN CAUGHT UP WITH THEM BEFORE THE SHOW.

VICTORIANA GAYEWhat do you think is the quality that most defi nes you in the

music market? We’re like a blend of fi ne Merino with a bit of polyester in the weave, which gives us a luxurious but hard-wearing quality. A bit like a good hand-knitted jumper in vibrant colours that you could mix and match with most attire.

Have you become the artist/s that you set out to be? Yes Certainly and more. We have been working artists for a long time. The fruits of our labour and the world we witness continue to propel us onward.

What did you set out to be? Commentators, using guitars, poetry, paints and pens.

What have been the struggles for you on your musician’s journey? The fact that Jeff can’t sing and play the trumpet at the same time is a challenge. Other than that we love a struggle, we’re roll-up-your-sleeves-and-scrub-hard types.

What about the triumphs? Playing our songs to audiences far and wide is all you could ask for and we are always humbled and happy to oblige. Except hens’ nights and footy clubs.

Who or what has been your greatest inspiration? Each other, our relationship, our family, our country, everything we see feel touch and do, and the Beatles.

What should we expect for your upcoming show at the Vitamin

Showcase? A whole lot of love.

REBECCA IRELANDWhat do you think is the quality that most defi nes you in the music market? Authenticity.

Have you become the artist/s that you set out to be? The compulsion to make music is a beautifully violent force I can only surrender to. Art is a safer way to go mad.

What did you set out to be? A good person that sings songs in the world.

What have been the struggles for you on your musician’s journey? In a nutshell it’d be my debilitating lack of self-worth that has been my demon and saviour. Letting music into my body is like turning the lights on. It’s the best therapy.

What about the triumphs? The making of and launch of my album Love & Sticky Tape received such a great response. It’s been truly awesome for me.

Who or what has been your greatest inspiration? My friends.

What should we expect for your upcoming show at the Vitamin Showcase? I’ll be playing the new single and more from my upcoming EP plus some tracks from Love & Sticky Tape, and although it’s more of a solo show, I don’t think I’m going to be able to resist having a couple of special guests join me.

ILONA HARKERWhat do you think is the quality that most defi nes you in the music market? In a world of inane super-bright over-sexualised pop I think it’s nice to sit in the dark and just kick back and listen to something a little deeper.

Have you become the artist that you set out to be? Writing songs is what I love to do and this all I set out to do. I try to live my life doing

what I love.

What did you set out to be? I wanted to be an air-hostess because

I liked the costumes. The Virgin beige pants cured me thankfully so I

stuck to being a musician.

What have been the struggles for you on your musician’s journey?

Um, none, really. The money is awesome! My new Learjet is being

painted in 24-carat gold by Damien Hirst and being studded with

platinum and diamonds. Pink Argyle ones from Oz. I believe in buying

locally.

What about the triumphs? Doing what I love is worth blowing a

trumpet about.

Who or what has been your greatest inspiration? My mum.

What should we expect for your upcoming show at the Vitamin

Showcase? I have a new fi lm clip featuring Bruns and some of her

favourite landmarks and I will be all smiles as I’m playing some of my

new album songs and also some of the old faves.

Friday at the Mullumbimby Bowling Club. Tix are $12 adult, $8

youth and $5 for a child. Tix and info www.mullummusic.com or at

discounts available for fi ve- and nine-fi lm passes. For full program details visit www.sff .org.au/Travelling Film Festival/Byron Bay.

THEATRE OF RECONCILIATIONNORPA is bringing Western Australia’s longest-running theatre production Bindjareb Pinjarra to Lismore for a one-night only performance. Eight years since its conception Bindjareb Pinjarra continues to demonstrate the perfect fusion of history, outrageous comedy and physical theatre. This incredible theatre experience will have you in fi ts of laughter, questioning your judgments and opening your heart and mind while the diff ering perspectives are explored. The catalyst for this theatrical history lesson is the mass killing of Nyoongar people in Pinjarra, Western Australia during 1834. ‘The uniqueness of this play is that it contains an enormous amount of humour and goodwill. Bindjareb Pinjarra is both very funny and very tragic,’ says creator and actor Geoff Kelso. ‘It is not a grim and dour exercise in breast-beating or fi nger-wagging. It is lively, entertaining and engages directly with its audience.’

This unique play is performed by Indigenous Nyoongar actors Kelton Pell, Frank Nannup and Isaac Drandich, and non-Indigenous actors Phil Thomson, Geoff Kelso and Sam Longley. Bindjareb Pinjarra shows how all Australians are part of the same history regardless of skin colour and how by acknowledging that history we can move forward together to create a better future as one people.

The actors will be conducting a theatre-making workshop the day before the show on Tuesday, 5–7pm at NORPA Lismore City Hall. There are only limited places so call Sharon or Naja at NORPA to book a spot. The actors are very keen for local Indigenous youth to be involved so spread the word! Bindjareb Pinjarra will be performed at Lismore City Hall Wed 23 May at 7.30pm. There will be a community BBQ from 5.30pm and Welcome to Country – come along and meet the actors. For bookings visit www.norpa.org.au or Box Offi ce; 1300 066 772.

FIONA O’LOUGHLIN IN BYRON WITH TATTS!There are few women as funny as Fiona O’Loughlin. Just this year she appeared on Celebrity Apprentice , she’s a regular co-host of The

Circle, one of Australian’s most successful and popular standup comedians. She has just released her fi rst book We of the Never Never and writes a weekly column for Australian Women’s Weekly . She’s also a popular regular on Good News Week and Spics and Specks . O’Loughlin is the Queen of Disclosure. She’s the woman who said Bindi Irwin needs a good slap! She even went on to say that she’s a bit creepy. Only a hardcore serial mum could get away with saying that! It’s what we’ve all been thinking!

Fiona features at two very special local shows. Monday 28 May at The Byron Services Club with Mandy Nolan as MC and Greg Sullivan as support. Doors 7pm, show 8pm, tix $25 available at the club or by

booking on 6684 3443.

Tuesday 29 May at New Tattersalls Hotel in Lismore. MC Mandy Nolan. Show 8pm. Tix $25 and available at the pub. Enquiries: 6621 4729.

SPIRITUAL TEACHER IN TOWNSpiritual teacher Andrew Harvey makes his way to Mullumbimby Civic Hall for a three-night stint of inspiration, conversation and music.

Andrew studied all the mystical traditions for more than thirty years. He is a Rumi expert and translator and the author of 30 books. He is very well known in the US and the UK and is the subject of a BBC documentary called The Making of a Modern Mystic . His books are international bestsellers and have been endorsed by the likes of Deepak Chopra and Caroline Myss. His latest work is Sacred Activism and he travels the globe asking people to take radical action to halt the destruction of the planet. He asks the yogi to leave his mat and walk in the world.

‘A spirituality that is only private and self-absorbed, one devoid of an authentic political and social consciousness, does little to halt the suicidal juggernaut of history. On the other hand, an activism that is not purifi ed by profound spiritual and psychological self-awareness and rooted in divine truth, wisdom, and compassion will only perpetuate the problem it is trying to solve, however righteous its intentions. When, however, the deepest and most grounded spiritual vision is married to a practical and pragmatic drive to transform all existing political, economic, and social institutions, a holy force – the power of wisdom and love in action – is born. This force I defi ne as Sacred Activism.’

Mullum Civic Hall on Thursday, Friday and Saturday and on Friday is joined by Shai Shriki for a night of music and dance. For more info: www.transformationaltours.com.au or www.andrewharvey.net.

UKI GETS A DOSE OF MANDY & NICKComedians Mandy Nolan and Nick Penn have been packing halls around the region with their rapid-fi re two-hour comedy fi asco.

Last week’s solution

Mungo’s Crossword fi rst published in The Week.

WITH LILITH

Venus isn’t in the mood for commitment

this week, so don’t be caught short by people suddenly

changing their minds – have backup plans

in place…

StarsARIES: When the winds of change blow, some build walls, others windmills. How about you? Uranus in Aries is tenderising us all in unexpected situations and circumstances, and as always you’re at the front line. This week it’s worthwhile considering the Zen proverb: Let go or be dragged…TAURUS: You’ll engage with this week’s lush, indulgent dance like the passionate, earthy lover you are of the many pleasures our blue planet off ers. And besides a wonderful wallow, the decisions you make this week will be soundly based, so make them while the force is with you.

GEMINI: While Venus retrograde in Gemini mightn’t give you what you want, it does usually nudge you, however unwillingly, towards what you need. Which this week is relationship considerations like reassessing and updating your changing needs and values. And occasionally swallowing your pride – at least it’s not fattening. CANCER: To combat this week’s sobering global realities, tune into your own inner music. Don’t wait for invitations – change your mood and lift your spirits by taking the initiative and reaching out. All the love and support you want are available by expanding your capacity to recognise them.

LEO: You’ve been juggling so many obligations, responsibilities and pressures recently that this week could perform an emotional colonic to release accumulated steam when you least expect it. If you do let rip, then remember afterwards that an attitude of gratitude morphs what we have into more than enough.

VIRGO: This week’s sensible focus is simpatico with the Virgo viewpoint, though your no-nonsense approach mightn’t mesh with other people’s vague, indecisive attitudes. If you start feeling like you’re talking to a wall, stop explaining yourself and move on to more practical and productive plans.

LIBRA: Venus retro in Gemini intensifi es the Libran dilemma of will I, should we, on the other hand… guaranteed to drive you out of your mind into your feelings, intuition and common sense. Frustrations, irritations and limitations aside, this week benefi ts by maintaining the health of your relationships.

SCORPIO: Tauran textures colour this week with sexy connections, diff erences of opinion and divided loyalties all the way from boardroom to bedroom. Think you’ve been explicit, but others heard something completely diff erent? Scorpio John Cleese made this the basis for outrageous black comedy, and so can you… .

SAGITTARIUS: While urges to move forward assert themselves, sensitivity and skill are needed when acting on them because this week voices plenty of dissent and disagreement. Fortunately these negative dimensions are balanced by positive social stimulation and precisely the kind of enthusiastic support you’re looking for.

CAPRICORN: Yes, there’s money to make and people to impress, but also plenty of real life drama if relationships don’t get their necessary attention this week. Ditto relatives, neighbours, colleagues and those you deal with on a daily basis. A hard ask, but we’re all being asked it...

AQUARIUS: This week could bring the possibility of an old fl ame resurfacing – if that’s happening then do what you have to. If not, romantic indications are off the Richter for solo Aquirkyians. Or if you’re happy with your lot, then by all means have yourself another helping.

PISCES: You sometimes don’t know why you do what you do – diffi cult when others won’t tolerate hidden agendas. This week self-examination trumps explanations, and could make something you never knew about yourself blindingly apparent. Welcome to the human family, who’ll support your processing and understanding this insight.

One of the most remarkable features of the $2.5m World Championship match between Viswanathan Anand and Boris Gelfand, which began in Moscow on Friday, is the venue.

Anand and Gelfand are play-ing in the Tretyakov Gallery, the most important gallery of Russian art in the world.

The venue was the choice of the sponsor, Andrei Filatov, a bil-lioniare who went to university in Minsk with Gelfand and later made his fortune in the freight forwarding business.

In a telephone interview before the match began, Filatov explained that he believes chess and art go perfectly together and that the match is as much promo-tion for his beloved Tretyakov Gallery as it is for chess.

‘I feel deep inside me the desire to promote Russian artists, who are unknown to the world… Nobody knows about Soviet impressionism but thanks to this match it is hoped that millions will learn about it. Chess is a tool to promote this great art.

‘Most of the great museums are government owned. If a chess competition is held in a muse-um and millions learn about the museum through the match, nat-urally the government becomes more interested in supporting chess,’ Filatov said.

The businessman also tackled head-on the issue of whether his sponsorship and the venue will be an advantage for Gelfand.

‘There is no hiding the truth that Boris influenced my decision to become involved. Gelfand and I are old friends. But both Anand and Gelfand are great players and gentlemen and we will make sure that Mr Anand is treated fairly and with all the respect he deserves.’

Filatov admitted that his deci-sion to sponsor the world title match was not based on com-mercial considerations.

‘I played chess but I didn’t have enough talent to be a profes-sional. Though my dream was to play in a World Championship, I never thought one day I would sponsor one! I believe that this could be an incredible step for-ward for the development of museums and culture.’

1. Nastassja Kinski stars as Mathilde in the French scifi fi lm In Your Image (SBS2, Saturday, 9.30pm) based on the novel À ton image by Louise L Lambrichs. In order to put a painful past and a terrible sense of guilt behind her, a sterile young woman named Mathilde uses extreme cloning methods to give birth to Manon (Audrey DeWilder), and is comforted by her obstetrician husband Thomas (Christopher Lambert). The child’s growth is abnormally rapid and she becomes the splitting image of her mother. Gradually, the relation between them evolves in an odd manner as Manon takes over her mother’s role in the family. French scifi often deals with troubling themes – witness Francois Truff aut’s version of Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 541.2. Fans of the world game – yes, Gil Crespy, there is life be-yond league – are in for a cracker with the UEFA Champions League Final (SBS2, Sunday, 9.30pm), the best clash between Britain and German since 1939. Chelsea take on Bayern Munich in a display of virtuosity which we hope will escape the doldrums of championship nerves. We suspect Bayern Munich will have the goods to overpower an injury-plagued Chelsea. What’s pleasing about the modern game is the rise of young stars out of Africa, displaying astonishing grace and speed.

Dark ShadowsIt was only a matter of time before cinema’s most-celebrated ‘quirky’ director, Tim Burton, got together with his favourite actor, Johnny Depp, and partner Helena Bonham Carter to skim off their share of the vampire genre’s seemingly infi nite bounty. The approach is ‘build it and they will come’ – put Johnny in drag (Lord knows he’s used to it by now), give him a cute make-up job, rope in another regular collaborator, Colleen Atwood, to whip up some fab costumes, create a

fantastical mise en scène (Addams Family gothic), insert a handful of golden-oldie pop songs (from the early seventies) and sit back and wait for the cash registers to start ringing. Everything works as planned; it’s just a pity that no attention was paid to the development of a halfway decent script – the prosaic title is an indicator of the thought given it. Or, to put it bluntly – Burton has lost

his mojo. Following on the unwatchable Sweeney Todd (2007) and the dreary Alice In Wonderland (2010), his latest movie is as fl at as a fl oorboard, without any coherent or binding through-line. After being buried for two hundred years, the vampire with the Dickensian name of Barnabas Collins (Depp) has been disinterred and transported to America where his descendants in the fi sh-canning caper are being driven to fi nancial ruin by the competition, run by the wronged witch (Eva Green) who originally condemned Barnabas to his fate. The wan girl whose love for Barnabas led her to suicide in the eighteenth century is there too, as both a ghost and the real-life nanny (?) of the little kid who is the nephew (I think) of Elizabeth (Michelle Pfeiff er), the current family matriarch. There is also a husband who contributes nothing and is written out of the story later on when his uselessness cannot be ignored, and a daughter, Chloë Grace Moretz of the sneering upper lip. Alice Cooper gets a start as himself, allowing Barnabas the best line of the turgid two hours – ‘that’s the ugliest woman I’ve ever seen’. ~ John Campbell

HeadhuntersThis feel-good noir fl ick is a belter. Based on a novel by prolifi c Danish crime writer Jo Nesbø, director Morten Tyldum’s adaptation is white-knuckle gripping and at times grimly funny (you won’t forget the poo scene in a hurry). The ‘headhunter’ is Roger (Aksel Hennie), a suave corporate talent spotter in Oslo who is living beyond his means in an eff ort to keep his girlfriend Diana (Synnøve

Macody Lund) in luxury. All Diana really wants is a baby, but to make ends meet he steals art on the side – the opening sequence is a brilliant and economical exposé of his MO. A story that might have developed along typically moralistic, sober lines quickly shifts into a more crazy and refreshingly bent gear when Roger contacts his off -sider Ove (Eivind Sander), who is otherwise engaged indulging in a shoot-out fantasy with a prostitute – in the nude. You realise then that anything might happen as events spiral feverishly out of control. The catalyst for the crisis comes in the form of Clas (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau), a handsome, ambitious exec who expects Roger to recommend him for a juicy CEO position with a hi-tech fi rm. When that doesn’t happen, Clas gets nasty. Roger is a bit of a cad, there is no getting away from it, but he becomes the victim when he lets his ego, suddenly poisoned by jealousy and self-doubt, blur his judgment. Some of the plot points are not entirely believable – Roger surviving the car wreck is, strictly speaking, beyond the pale – and it’s not without a few lashings of gore (I simply cannot look at the blade of a knife being gripped during a struggle). But Roger’s mounting travails – ‘the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune’ – result in his reacting to events rather than controlling them. As he is pushed ever closer to the edge, you can’t help being on-side with the little bloke (he makes an issue of his height). The rights have been sold to Hollywood, but try and catch it in its original form – it’s outstanding. ~ John Campbell

His secret is to caramelise the syrup before pouring it over the immensely buttery, spicy baklava, then at the very end fl avour it with fresh local lemon juice and orange juice. It was the tray-loads of sticky, golden baklava that brought their creator to a recent book launch in Byron Bay, where I fi rst met Ilias the Greek.

Later – a cafe this time – and Ilias has just presented me with a sample of his cooking, a selection of confectionary resembling a casket of jewels, dusted in icing sugar, powdered with pistachios, bathed in honey, studded with seeds and nuts.

And a story even sweeter, about a boy raised in a tiny Greek village called Kastoria, whose fi rst experiences of food were informed by the family farm where everything was made by hand from the bounty grown there: wheat, chickens, honey.

When he was six the family, including grandparents, moved to Australia – the Chernobyl disaster had just struck – the former settling in Adelaide and the latter in Coober Pedy.

Ilias’s grandparents had heard that great wealth could be obtained via opal mining and became avid opal miners; at the age of 21 Ilias himself ‘got lured’ and went to join them.

’I thought opals, you can make millions, so off I went,’ he tells me, leaving behind a job as a mechanic and a taste for drag-racing.

Coober Pedy, he says, is a ‘very dry masculine town. I moved in with my grandparents to give it a go. My fi rst experience was 50-degree days working underground looking for the elusive stone.’

The saving grace were the enormous feasts he would come home to, served up by his grandmother who had spent all day in their preparation. ‘We’re in a desert but she had green lawn, capsicums, kale and spinach… she had an astronomical water bill.’

The food she cooked and the processes she employed were to remain with Ilias; he

stayed in Coober Pedy for nearly ten years during which time he began to teach himself to cook, gradually contributing his Greek dishes, to great acclaim, to a local restaurant where he was also working.

A mining accident that left him in a coma changed his life signifi cantly. When he emerged from it he began to assess his circumstances, values and direction.

His sister suggested Byron Bay and yoga as part of his recovery process and so it was that, several years ago, Ilias arrived here. Initially he had considered becoming a yoga teacher but, largely thanks to the girl he soon met, decided to start recreating the food of his heritage, especially the sweetmeats. For a time he worked with David Tetu at

L’Ultime, learning French techniques and recipes, but found that he wasn’t suffi ciently expressing himself.

So, in the region-honoured way, he worked the markets, gradually establishing a reputation and a base of regular customers whose feedback would further inspire ideas for the ongoing refi nement of his shortbreads, his pastelli, his baklava, his biscotti. Most of it is gluten free; all of it contains the essence of his heritage, the infl uences of both mother and grandmother.

At present he is supplying more than thirty cafes between Kingscliff and Lismore, apart from the markets, and does it all on his own. For someone turning out around 70 kilograms of baklava a week, this is nothing short of impressive.

’I’m busy,’ he tells me, ‘and I’m smiling through it’.

Food education in the form of cooking classes is part of his future vision as well as extending his range. And I sense, when Ilias and I part ways with a warm Mediterranean hug, that here is a young and talented man on the cusp of great things.

Ilias the Greek’s website is currently under construction; meanwhile, fi nd him at the Byron, Bangalow, Lennox and Kingscliff markets – or his sweet treats at your local cafe.

On Saturday the Mullumbimby Moonshiners were given a les-son in cohesion and structure by a polished Bangalow side.

During the first half Banga-low played some beautiful Rugby, starved the Shiners of possession and had the score-board looking ugly.

They dominated the break-down and moved the ball bril-liantly. It was a mistake-riddled half for Mullum with dropped ball, penalties and kicks not finding touch. It could have been a cricket score if not for the Herculean efforts of Mul-lum skipper Teale Pyne.

It seemed every second breakdown of play was initi-ated by the bloke in the number twelve pinning the ears back and launching a bone-jangling

tackle. As in previous weeks Mullum improved dramatically after the break, moving up fast-er on the Bangalow runners, securing more ball and landing some good pressure kicks.

Speed machines Darcy Ol-sen and Ryan Cuthbert twice closed down line breaks with try-saving tackles. The backs

showed their potential with some nice ball movement across the park late but the fi-nal score told the tale. A 54–0 walloping. If there is any lesson to take out of this game it’s get your arse to training! The Shin-ers are home Brunswick Heads this Saturday (2pm kick off) taking on the Kyogle Cockies.

The Ocean Shores Lady Bowlers had a great event at the recent Tweed-Byron District Open Fours and Senior Fours Championship.

Jordan’s feet fit dad’s footstepsBangkok to the Cockatoos

Byron Bay’s Finn McElroy, who plays school union at Byron High, was last week selected for the 14s Country Rugby Union team, the Junior Cockatoos.

At the Country Champi-onships hosted at Ballina last weekend, Finn was representing the Far North Coast squad play-

ing at the number 8 position. The FNC under 14s coached

by Ern Sandral did well in having four lads selected in the Country team. They will take part in training camps and matches and will be taking on City later in the year.

Finn started his rugby career in Bangkok, then Bangalow

when he moved to Australia and now he plays for the Brun-swick Valley Billygoats

Finn, pictured with Bil-lygoats coach Matt Perry and dad Brad, would love to play for Australia and says he looks up to players David Pocock and Christian Lealiifano.

Not everyone’s typical family outing is a trip up the coast to play at being Robin Hood but the Smiths from Mullumbimby went and saw and conquered the competition returning with spoils of gold and bronze from our northern neighbours.

Jordan won the Junior Queensland Championship in the unlimited division and Da-vid came third in the freestyle division. Jordan currently has a PB of 394 from a possible 400. Jordan has won all the Junior awards in his club Pacific Bow-

mans for the last two years.What is remarkable about Jor-dan’s achievement is that in this his first year as a junior, archers aged 13–17 years, Jordan beat competition mostly older than he is.

Story & photo John Campbell

Application and effort will al-most get you what you want in a game of rugby league. But in going down 26–24 to Marist Brothers at Les Donnelly Field on Sunday, the Mullumbimby Giants showed plenty of ticker but would have been reminded that without the vital third in-

gredient of execution the spoils of victory will remain as elusive as ever.

Brothers kicked off into a cloudless blue sky, Mullum watched the ball bounce over the dead-ball line and three tackles into the set of six after the drop-out the Papists’ full-back crossed untouched. After the shellacking they received at

the hands of the Red Devils last week, it was the worst possible start for the Giants. Would they drop their heads? An ap-prehensive crowd wondered.

Young centre Jack Goslewski was first to a chip in goal – Mul-lum’s production line of goers from the juniors is a credit to the culture of the club – and with the conversion from half

Aaron Booth the scores were locked.

In the next twenty minutes the visitors jumped away to 14–6 while the Giants floun-dered and fumbled and failed horribly to lock up the ball carrier. Time and again passes were slipped when the attacker should have been decked and, with the adjudications going against them, it came as some-thing of a surprise when Booth threaded his way to the line through the Brothers’ pack af-ter a scrum win ten out.

The ref had been blowing his whistle like he was putting penalties away for his superan-nuation and, as the boy boys trudged to the sheds behind by 20–12, the PA’s scurrilous ‘could the referee please move his ute – it’s on fire’ was well received by the mob. (You’ve gotta love bush footy.)

The Giants’ slack attention to detail was exemplified at the restart when, at the end of their first set, Marist’s harmless kick was gilded when Mullum’s full-back casually stuck out his hand to knock it on. It would have broken the forwards’ hearts.

A mood swing came with 27 minutes to go. Mullum’s hook-

er, Grant Cooke, locked horns with Marist’s bigger number 8 (the Papists were a bigger side in general) and a bit of ginger crept into the mix. Brothers scored from the penalty, but the Giants were stirred and, significantly, their intensely loyal supporters started to find voice. It was, as they say, ‘on’.

Winger Bill Thompson hung on to a long pass and dived over in the corner. Booth’s pinpoint conversion from the sideline brought it back to 26–18. Broth-

ers’ full-back, after pushing his luck earlier with a head-high, was binned and Booth, with spiders on him, crossed next to the uprights. 26–24. An un-likely win seemed possible and the mob was going berko.

Marist Brothers hung on, but the home side’s heart almost got them there. They are now floundering at the bottom of the NRRRL ladder, but there’s a lot to like about the Giants. You get the feeling they won’t be there long.

Hockey under the spotlight

Mullumbimby hockey women’s D3 went down one–nil (a ques-tionable goal) to Murwillumbah on turf and under lights on Saturday night at the Murwillumbah Hockey Complex.Having fielded only nine players, they fought valiantly and were unlucky not to have come away with a nil-all draw.Despite her best efforts, Mullum inner right Emma Dignan, pictured, was kept scoreless in the D3 match.D2, again with D3 women filling in straight after, fought hard but could not keep out the very strong and fresh Murwillum-bah team going down 4–1. Mullum look forward to playing M’Bah again with a full and fresh team! Photo Tree Faerie.

One in four homeowners look to invest in propertyA rocky share market is bolster-ing Australian homeowners’ appetite for property invest-ment, with one in four planning to purchase a second property, according to LJ Hooker Finance research. The research conducted by Galaxy Research*, on behalf of LJ Hooker Finance, found that 26 per cent of existing homeowners were currently looking to buy an investment or holiday property. L Janusz Hooker, deputy chair-man of LJ Hooker, said over the last decade, Australians have been listed among the highest shareholders per capita globally. ‘Residential property is a traditional favourite amongst Australian investors due to

the long-term stability of the market, potential capital gains or opportunity to boost income through regular rent. ‘However the multiple double-digit losses experienced by the share market in 2011 are driving a stronger interest in property investment. ‘Data shows that over a 10 year period, property investment yields a higher after-tax return than shares^. Uncertainty in the share market is drawing Australians back to traditional investment options to ensure long-term results.’ Mr Hooker also notes the Australian Tax Offi ce’s recent draft ruling on Self Managing Super Funds (SMSF) borrowing legislation may enable more Australians to use their super to purchase and maintain invest-ment properties using a limited recourse borrowing arrange-ment. ‘Long-term success via resi-dential property investment is dependent on the strategic choices made by the buyer who should always get inde-pendent advice. ‘To get the best results, inves-tors should seek properties that are located in potential growth areas, that have low rental vacancy rates and to choose a property that doesn’t require major renovations or modifi cations for tenants.’ Mr Hooker cautions that prop-erty investors must consider their fi nancial options very

carefully to ensure that their in-vestment property repayments compliment their original home loan. ‘Our research has shown that 42 per cent of homeowners base their decision to choose a second mortgage on interest rates. ‘Investors tend to get excited about the idea of capital gains but forget to factor in addi-tional expenses, taxes and how they will manage an additional mortgage.’ Mr Hooker advises potential property investors to speak to a mortgage broker so they can better understand their fi nancial position and fi nance options. ‘A broker can walk you through options such as positive versus negative gearing, how to use

existing equity from your current loan and the best loan options for your fi nan-cial situation. ‘Proper planning will minimise investment risk and maximise returns. A broker can advise you of your borrowing power and give you tailored advice.’ Key fi ndings from the LJ Hooker research on property investment:

With over a third of the artist program being made up of lo-cal artists the Mullum Music Festival loves to support new, emerging and well-loved mu-sicians in the area. Th e festi-val will take place November 22–25 this year and applica-tions are now open for artists and vendors. Closing date is Friday June 4 – go to www.mullummusicfestival.com and make your mark.

Woolworths continues pimp-ing local schoolchildren by getting them to collect dockets so that schools can ‘benefit’ from the largesse of the corpo-rate dollar. It’s a shitty way to encourage consumerism but what would you expect from a corporation that also peddles gambling on a large scale? The more parents who pro-test about their children be-ing used as runners for greed, the better. In related news the Transport Workers Union has been protesting outside Coles HQ against the deadline pres-sures placed on truckies by the big food retailers. Th e real problem however is consum-ers – if people bought their food and goods locally, there wouldn’t be the same number of frantic truck movements. Some long-distance consum-ing will still go on, of course, unless someone plans to open a toilet paper factory in Byron Shire.

Th e late and much-loved local iconoclast Rod Gibson is cur-rently having his work appre-ciated in a retrospective at the Old Drill Hall. For a change, McDuck left his desktop and had a night out, recording his impressions of the retrospec-tive on page 15.

It’s probably no great surprise that emergency services at the Mullum hospital are be-ing scaled back as the health service plans a transition – and what a slow transition!

– to a new regional hospital at Ewingsdale to replace both Mullum and Byron Bay hos-pitals. Given the money that’s been recently thrown at the Lismore hospital, Backlash wouldn’t be surprised if the Ewingsdale plan was never realised. Th e abandonment of local hospitals is a sad event for many volunteers who raised funds for facilities for the services and their eff orts can never be fully recognised by state bureaucracies.

In the lead-up to the coun-cil elections in September, the issue of amalgamation with another shire has once again been fl oated for Byron. No surprise there, but as we and other commentators have pointed out before, with our small rate base and fragile fi -nances, who would want to have us?

At the last council elections, no-one pulled in the votes like Jan Barham and Ross Tucker, with the Greens picking up 3,684 primaries and Tucker’s group 3,120. Other hopefuls

have got a long way to go to get near those figures and the race for mayor is likely to be between Tucker and the

Greens’ Simon Richardson – assuming they run, of course. To find out more about the upcoming elections visit www.elections.nsw.gov.au.

We recorded in Echonetdaily (echonetdaily.net.au) de-tails of the Pentagon course in which Army Lt Col Mat-thew Dooley suggested that the US might ultimately have to obliterate the Islamic holy cities of Mecca and Medina without regard for civilian deaths, following World War II precedents of the nuclear attack on Hiroshima or the al-lied fi rebombing of Dresden. Fortunately an intelligent stu-dent objected and the course was dropped. It’s this sort of apocalyptic thinking by mili-tarists and Christian and Is-lamic fundamentalists which makes the world a more dan-gerous place and a cash cow for weapons manufacturers. Meanwhile global warming rages on undiminished.
