Come so far, so far to go for reconciliation Michael McDonald Journey of Healing Day in Byron Bay last Thursday began with harrowing scenes of children being taken from their mother from Philip Noyce’s film The RabbitProof Fence. It was a stark reminder of a not too distant past and a challenge to take reconciliation further. The upstairs studio at the community centre was packed to overowing for the event, organised by Sisters f o r R e c o n c i l i at i o n i n partnership with the Arakwal

people. The themes of the day long program ran from the serious to the comic, with perfor mances by local schools and a bush food lunch. Arakwal Elder Aunty Lor na Kelly gave the Welcome To Countr y, obviously moved by the ďŹ lm scenes. She advised the audience to ‘listen and learn’ from the day’s speakers. Bronwyn Sindel of Sisters for Reconciliation, formerly known as Women for Wik, noted that Reconciliation

Week ran from May 27, the date in 1967 when Aboriginal people were given citizenship rights through a national referendum, to June 3, when in 1992 the High Court recognised native title rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples through the Eddie Mabo case. Ms Sindel noted the ‘excellent care and stewardship’ of the land by Aboriginal people. She said her motivation sprang from gratitude for ‘living in paradise’ while deploring that the country was ‘forcibly and cruelly stolen’ from its original inhabitants. She described the state of Aboriginal health generally as ‘an insult to our conscience’ and urged the audience to sign petitions and letters to PM John Howard seeking reform. Yvonne Stewart of the Arakwal Corporation gave a detailed rundown on her people’s Indigenous Land

Use Agreement (ILUA), the ďŹ rst of its kind in Australia, with Byron Shire Council and the NSW government. She described the creation of the Arakwal National Park and the Cape Byron State Conservation Area. Ms Stewar t said the Arakwal’s involvement in the Cape Byron Trust was an ‘historical thing for us – we’d never been asked to have a

Council opposes highway fast tracking

The NRMA have criticised Byron Shire Council for opposing the fast tracking of the PaciďŹ c Highway into a four lane road as promoted by the Northern Rivers Organisation of Council (NOROC) Summit this month. NRMA Director, Wendy Machin, said she hoped Council wouldn’t sabotage lobbying to upgrade the highway by the NRMA and NOROC. Upgrading of existing black spots is supported by Council to reduce the incidence of trafďŹ c accidents at certain locations, however the removal of B-doubles is seen as a greater priority.

Dur ing last Tuesday’s Council meeting Councillors registered their for mal opposition to B-doubles on the PaciďŹ c Highway and will ask the Roads and Traffic Authority (RTA) to direct all heavy transport not servicing coastal areas to use the New England Highway. Delivering a slap in the face to the RTA, Council resolved that it ‘has no confidence in the RTA consultation process in relation to the Tintenbar to Ewingsdale upgrade.’ Legal advice obtained by the Ocean Shores Community Association regarding the transfer of the

B-doubles onto the highway in August 2002 indicated that the RTA were in breach of their statutory guidelines because they failed to consult the community, says Cr Jan Mangleson. ‘If we had gone to court straight away [in August 2002] we probably would have won but because of the time delay we were advised that no court would move the B-doubles off the PaciďŹ c Highway because of the investment in infrastructure by the trucking companies,’ said Cr Mangleson. Byron Shire Council voted last Tuesday not to support the introduction of B-

Byron Shire Council hasn’t received any equivalent request for approval,’ said Cr Jan Mangleson. The siting of a major truck stop at Yelgun by the RTA was also opposed by Council at last Tuesday’s meeting, instead voting to support continued on page 2

The beauty and diversity of Indonesian arts and culture is soon to be showcased in Byron Bay. The opening night of the month-long Inspirasi Indonesian Arts Festival, at the Byron Bay Community Centre on June 11, promises to be a visual and aural feast. At a time where all media attention towards Indonesia is fixated on the negative, the Inspirasi festival aims to highlight the positive aspects of our relationship with our neighbour. Traditional and contemporary Indonesian culture come together with a selection of short and feature lengths films. Playing on the night will be Obek Junaedi, a Sundanese musician and dancer performing Jaipongan. There will also be a children’s fashion parade displaying the intricate traditional outfits of the Sumatran people (as well as from Bali and other parts of Indonesia) and a photographic exhibition. Portraits of Love, a series of photos of beautiful children created through the union of one Indonesian parent and one Australian. Occurring as a preamble to the festivities, a free film night will be hosted by the Brunswick Heads Hotel on June 8. East of Krakatoa, a remarkable documentary by Dr Lawrence Blair, psychoanthropologist and explorer, will screen at 5pm. Made in the early 70’s, the film charters

has been ad hoc and contradictory. The RTA are intent on proceeding with this proposal despite opposition from the local community, Byron Shire Council and environment groups and despite not finalising the detail design features such as the local service road. It is interesting to note that out of all community submissions received by the RTA only one was in favour of the truckstop.’ Objectors are encouraged to write to the Ministers of Planning, Environment and Roads or local politicians, Ian Cohen and Don Page. A new highway community action group has sprung up with the aim of ‘launching a

high level campaign at the political level to move heavy vehicles off the Pacific Highway and back to the New England’. Tony Gilding from the Community Alliance for Road Sustainability or CARS says he is pretty confident of getting a hearing from state and federal ministers for transport and roads. ‘It is estimated that major road freight traffic on the East Coast will increase 200% in 15 years. The New England Highway, which is the responsibility of the federal government was the road originally designated for heavy vehicles. The current strategy of neglecting the New England and using the old Pacific Highway

route as the basis of the upg rade prog ram will concentrate ever increasing volumes of heavy vehicles and cars on one road along the East Coast,’ said CARS. ‘This will lead to road constr uction on prime agricultural land and tourist locations and cause excessive noise and diesel pollution problems for local communities. In addition the lack of separation between large numbers of heavy vehicles and cars will ensure continued safety problems.’ The Bangalow Community Association is holding a public meeting to discuss issues relating to the highway on June 14 at 6.30pm at the A & I Hall.

to the Arakwal. ‘We’re proud to be given an award for caring for Country, which we would have done anyway. It’s great to be recognised for all the hard work the Elders have put into it.’ Ms Stewart said talks were still under way with the Marine Parks Authority in a ‘long haul battle over our fishing rights. We’ve shown we can manage the land, and

we can manage the water as well.’ Among the lessons the Arakwal had learnt in the ILUA process were anything is possible, be clear in what you want, respect each other and that it is a lifetime process. ‘We have our protocols, too,’ said Ms Stewart. ‘We go on holidays, too. ‘The fact that we’ve given knowledge for nothing has to be weighed up against the

cost of consultants – this is still an issue in 2005.’ Still to come is the cultural centre and homes for the Elders on their traditional ground near Tallow Beach. Given the age of the Elders, and the mileage premier Bob Carr and environment minister Bob Debus have made from the Arakwal, work needs to be started before too many more state budgets have passed.

Last visit to a lost town

Last Saturday marked the final chapter in a piece of Byron Shire’s history when the Brunswick Valley Historical Society paid an eleventh hour visit to the site of Hainsville, a pioneering town that vanished in the late 1890s. Located in the area of the old Salad Bowl at the northern entrance to Ocean Shores, the site is ďŹ rst on the list for the bulldozers to move in on when work starts on the Brunswick to Yelgun upgrade of the PaciďŹ c High-

way any minute now. Hainsville came into being when the railway line was being built between Lismore and Murwillumbah and there is evidence of pubs, a school, store, butcher and post ofďŹ ce. Ironically, as the Shire’s only pioneering town to disappear, it is located right opposite the Shire’s only planned 20th century town, Ocean Shores. Resident of Ocean Shores and member of the community liaison committee for

Abigroup, the contractors responsible for the highway upgrade, Frank Mills has been walking the site recently and has discovered bottle dumps, mortise fence panels, a blazed tree and other evidence of the town. He mentioned his ďŹ ndings to the Brunswick Valley Historical Society and a visit to the vanished township was arranged for last Saturday morning before the roadworks move in and change it forever.

New Years Eve in Bay to scale down Police have lodged an application with Byron Shire Council to make Byron Bay a alcohol prohibition area on New Year’s Eve according to Mayor Jan Barham.The move is intended to reduce the amount of alcohol in the town and avoid a repeat of last year’s drink related bad behaviour. ‘We have agreed that New Years Eve has to change which means reducing the numbers if we can and changing the type of people. Antisocial behaviour on the night is something that costs money and Council wears the responsibility for it, ’ said

Jan Barham. ‘We need to get away from events on large stages and get into on the ground events catering for smaller groups, such as latin dancing or jazz bands.’ The Lions Club’s involvement in New Year’s Eve planning and the introduction of an entry fee for the BayFM dance party had seen the night provide a proďŹ t during 2002 and 2003. Last year the event returned a loss and saw the withdrawal of the Lions Club after problems with security arrangements. Council have proposed dropping the dance party because of its crowd

pulling potential. ‘The dance party was an effective crowd control and entertainment measure, but it was promoted on Triple J non-stop for a month before hand,’ said Jan Barham. ‘We are trying to change New Year’s Eve around from being a proďŹ t making event to a community safety driven event which means we might be able to once again attract government funding and avoid any future prospect of paying for police cover.’ NYE arrangements will be discussed at Council’s next planning meeting on Tuesday June 14.

Local group formed to address the energy crisis As oil prices soar and the cost of petrol hits $1.10 per litre, we’re being told to expect to pay $5.00 per litre in the next few years, that is of course if there’s any oil left. On top of this is the threat of global warming due to over use of fossil fuels, and the latest warning of global dimming. This raises the question of why, in this age of highly developed technologies, hasn’t anyone found a viable alternative to oil? In actual fact, during the last hundred years, there have been many inventions using alternatives

to oil. For some reason, none of these inventions have made it onto the market place. With this in mind, the Byron Bay Free-Energy Group has been formed, their objective being to make new, affordable, environmentally-friendly energy sources available to the marketplace. Group convenor Sol Millin explained that free energy has been here from the beginning of time itself. ‘It has always been available for us to use – we just haven’t fully realised that fact or real-

ised how to tap into it.’ Sol, who has a degree in physics and mathematics, said that the group is pooling ideas and resources to build machines such as standalone free electricity generators and antigravity machines for powering homes, cars and industry. The group is currently meeting in Mullumbimby on Thursdays from 4.30pm to 6.00 pm. If anyone is interested in joining or if you would like more information, call Sol Millin on 0403 649 994 or email sol@lovelight.org.au.

Local News Insurance hike threatens school’s future Simone Roach Durrumbul Community Pre-school has been providing top quality childcare at minimal cost for the last 23 years. Hundreds of families in the Mullumbimby area have benefited from the staff ’s efforts to keep fees affordable, ensuring that all members of the community could continue to access their service. However, a recent mammoth insurance hike and general cost increase has sent the non-profit organisation into a financial hole. This Saturday’s fundraiser at the school is expected to urgently turn things around. Roy Lilley, the pre-school’s coordinator, says, ‘Over the years we’ve tried to keep our fees as low as humanly possible so that all families can afford childcare. We can’t help but raise our fee structure now, though, in relation to rising costs.’ Income earners under the $26,000 bracket will now pay a subsidised fee of $10 per day, and earners over that mark will now pay $16. Without funding from the Department of Community Services, fees would be $34 per day instead. When it comes to a community pre-

school, it’s the parents who run it and it needs to have a strong committee for it to function efficiently. So to show their appreciation of the loving care their children receive, the parents are banding together to put on Durrumbul’s ‘Big Day Out’. Parent Peta Mison says, ‘This is such a beautiful environment, the kids adore it. Anna and Roy are so welcoming. My son has only been coming here for a few months, but he’s just so much more outgoing now, he loves this place, we all do.’ With a gorgeous backdrop of the mountains and plenty

of space to run around in, the children get to explore and adventure to their hearts’ wild content. Young Ethan Winter, in fire engine cap and wizard cape, proudly proclaims his favourite thing to do there – the monkey bars with ropes, ’cos he’s just like Spiderman, and that’s ‘cooool’. Although trained as a lawyer, Roy has worked there for every year going, except for one. ‘I love this job, somebody isn’t in a job for 22 years in the same spot unless they like it!’ Being part of a community means more than just paying lip service. It’s up to

parents and anyone who cares about this iconic piece of Mullum and its future to help out. The Big Day runs from 11am till sunset on Saturday. There’s a whole bunch of things planned to keep people occupied on the day, including great local bands, children’s craft, jumping castles, stalls and rides. As well as the Spaghetti Circus performance, look out for the auction with some excellent items up for bids. Donations or other enquiries of assistance for the day can be made by contacting the school on 6684 5429. Make this one for the kids.

that their families could no longer afford to spend their holidays here. ‘They cannot even afford the camping fees here anymore. At best they can only stay for a few days now whereas before they would stay for the holidays.’ Some residents who attended the forum were also members of the Business & Tourism Management Committee and the Progress Association and there was some discussion about the value of yet another organisation starting in the village. The discussion however delivered support for the proposed BRAVO (Brunswick Residents and Villagers Organisation) in order to preserve the family lifestyle of Brunswick Heads and to protect it. Councillor Tom Tabart encouraged the audience to join the residents’ group, saying that residents needed a voice and that the current Progress Association simply rubber stamps the opinions of the Chamber of Commerce. By the end of the meeting, 52 people had signed up for membership and a steering committee of ten had been formed to draw up a charter. Another meeting will be called shortly.

Date set for Becton court case The Land and Environment Court will rule on June 16 whether Byron Shire Council or the state government should decide Becton Corporation’s subdivision application for its Byron Bay site. Simon Stockfeld, Becton’s Development Manager, said he was surprised to hear that Council had decided not to contest the hearing. Ray Darney, Council’s Director of Planning explained that Council had decided to step aside and let the Department of Infrastructure, Planning and Natural Resources (DIPNR) contest the hearing. Mr Darney said that DIPNR’s position was that the subdivision application should be decided by Coun-

cil and not the department and have committed to fighting the case in the court. Becton has also started court action over Council’s refusal of a development application for foreshore protection works in front of the Bayshore conference centre. Council refused the application citing 14 reasons. One of the major grounds for refusal was that the building is not currently approved as a conference centre. The Department of Lands and DIPNR also refused to give their approval for the works. ‘The case will probably be heard in front of a commissioner in Byron Bay in late July or early August,’ said Simon Stockfeld.

Pathways success Saturday May 21 was the annual fundraiser for the north coast arm of the Pathways to Manhood Foundation. Held at The Crystal Castle, over $50,000 was raised to improve the scholarship program and facilities on the Pathways camps. The award-winning Pathways program has been running since 1995 after being founded on the north coast. The program now organises camps in communities and schools across Australia. The aim of Pathways is to bring out the potential in young men, instilling in them hope and inspiration for the future. The camp is a five-day adventure for boys and their fathers (or appropriate male mentors), to share a right of passage honouring the beginning of a boy’s journey into manhood. The fundraiser, hosted by George Negus and Nyck Jeanes, a likely pair of bon vivants, got off to a rollicking start. Guests were regaled with light opera, sumptuous food by Videha’s Kitchen, and plenty of good cheer. An auction of generously donated local artists’ works and other prizes offered by

the local business community exceeded expectations. Auctioneer Robert Bleakley displayed an intimate and entertaining knowledge of styles and artistic eras as applied to the artwork. A feature of the night was an impromptu George Negus interview with two young men, Christo and Daniel, eloquent ‘graduates’ of the Pathways program. A huge thankyou goes to all the young men who donated their time on the night, and to fathers and other men of the Byron community committed to this important mentoring work. Thanks also to the owners of the Crystal Castle and the musicians on the night, and to the business and art communities who again gave so much, a testimony to a program achieving impressive results for a positive future for young men, families and the community. The next north coast camp starts August 8 and you can contact the Pathways office at 1B, 44 Burringbar Sreet, Mullumbimby, phone 6684 3392, mail PO Box 300, Mullumbimby NSW 2482.

Post budget breakfast What does the economy hold for the next twelve months? How will the budget affect your business or that of your clients? Given the current property market levelling out is real estate a good investment? These questions are just a few which are on the lips of many and will be answered at an exclusive Business Breakfast being hosted at Invercauld House on Friday June 10 beginning at

7am and organised by the Westpac Life Saver Rescue Helicopter with assistance from the Southern Cross University. Justin Smirk, Westpac’s Chief Economist, will be the key note speaker at the breakfast. The cost is $35 per head and including a full buffet breakfast.

Local News Young talent emerges at artsCape

ArtsCape: The Nature of Sculpture, Cape Byron’s ďŹ rst outdoor sculpture exhibition (June 26-July 11), is delighted to conďŹ rm participation of one of Australia’s youngest sculptors. Gabriella Hirst, aged 15, is already an award winning public artist with a passion for sculpture, with numerous awards for sculpture and drawing already under her belt. Ella holidays in Byron Bay several times a year – her huge attachment to the place creating a sculpture installation for artsCape inspired by bottlenose dolphins. ‘I got the idea for the dolphin sculpture when I was up at the lighthouse last holi-

days and saw a huge pod of dolphins on a beautiful sunny day playing in a wave. It was so un-clichĂŠd, something so genuine in the landscape that you don’t see anywhere else,’ Ella said. ‘I have always been into art. It is one of those subjects at school that never feels like work. When I draw or paint or sculpt it feels so great. I have thought about going to art school when I ďŹ nish high school, here or maybe overseas. ‘I’ve been coming to Byron Bay since I was very little. It has always been a great escape.

am always thinking about the surf, my board and my Byron friends.’ In 2003, Ella won a sculpture design competition in 2003 for the Mosman swimming pool in Sydney, a work also inspired by her love of the water. Ella will be up in Byron Bay to install her work, a precarious exercise as her sculpture is sited on a steep slope above an eastern cliff face. Said Merran Morrison, one of the show’s curators, ‘Ella’s work is one of several pieces in the show which are quite dangerous to install. But we will be using proper safety equipment and skilled NPWS personnel.’

Tucker under ďŹ re in witness box Saturday Star publisher Ross Tucker has admitted to the NSW Supreme Court he could have paid his former employee Leanne Potts the full amount of $7,042 ordered by the Chief Industrial Magistrates Court. Instead he was negotiating payment by instalments – $1,000 up front and $100 per month. Tucker, a Byron Shire Councillor since 1991, conceded he owned ‘nine or ten properties‌ almost unencumbered’ and could have taken out a loan to pay Potts what the Industrial Relations Commission decided she was owed for working as an advertising sales person for four months in 1997. He acknowledged that bank statements belonging to Comptran Pty Ltd, the publishing company he owns with Harold Ross, revealed they had paid back $15,000 and $5,000 of an $80,000 business loan to The Star around the time of the court order. However, he denied that Potts ďŹ nally agreed to settle for $4,000 because she was ‘being worn down by the

delay in payment’. Tucker was giving evidence in a defamation action he has brought against The Echo and Fast Buck$. In 2002 a jury found that The Echo and Fast Buck$ had defamed Tucker by publishing an article which conveyed that Tucker had acted dishonourably in his negotiations to settle a claim for compensation by Potts in that he made an offer of settlement which he refused to honour. The jury also found the article conveyed that Tucker ‘is a domineering employer in that he abuses employees by belittling them and shouting at them and using obscene language’. The Echo is defending the allegations against Tucker on the basis that they are true and that the paper acted reasonably in publishing them. Tucker, a retired Director of Army Catering, spent most of last week in the witness box. He told Acting Justice Patten he was angry, hurt and frustrated by what the article said about him because it was untrue. ‘That is not the person I am,’ Tucker said when con-

fronted with allegations that he had shouted at Potts: ‘I could imagine what your house is like, it would be a pigsty’ and ‘I don’t give a f..k about you or your children.’ A string of reputation witnesses, including ex-army mates, local business people and current and former politicians conďŹ rmed the Tucker they knew would never say such things. Former federal minister Larry Anthony told the court Tucker had a reputation for being ‘courteous, polite and honourable in his business dealings’. Joan Towers, a personal friend and proprietor of Ray Tower’s Carpets, described Tucker as a ‘gentle man as well as a gentleman’. John Walpole AO, a retired army colonel, said he had never known Tucker to ‘swear or abuse staff’. Former Star editor Sue Gardner said that when she read The Echo article her response was: ‘I worked with Ross [Tucker] for two and half years – he doesn’t behave like that, and I should know.’ The case resumes on June 7.

Whale doco Southern Cross University’s Whale Research Centre will host the screening of a compelling documentary covering all sides of the international debate over the future of whales. What to do about Whales?, a ďŹ lm by Michael McIntyre and Kate Clere, will screen at the Byron Surf Club on International Oceans Day on Wednesday, June 8, from 6 to 8pm. The documentary features whaling yarns from the high seas, accounts of whales who return to the same location for generations, myths of ancestors travelling on the back of the whale, and a story about ďŹ ghting for the whale’s cause in a country where 75 per cent of the population is keen to resume whaling. Filmmaker Kate Clere said the documentary offered a rare opportunity to observe all sides of the story. ‘This documentary provides a rare insight into what motivates people to care so passionately about whether whales should be hunted or not,’ Ms Clere said.

Protest Anyone interested in protesting against the Japanese culling of whales is invited to a march this Sunday morning from the music stage at the Byron Bay market site to Main Beach. Meet at 11am.

As part of the upcoming 48 Hours ofVisual Arts FEHVA weekend there is a series of workshops being presented. On Friday July 1 local artist Christina Khumari, who has recently completed a stint as artist-in-residence in Rotorua, New Zealand will be facilitating a panel of acclaimed artists who are all well versed in the experience of living in another country and/or culture as artists-in-residence. Internationally acclaimed artist Judy Watson has exhibited in venues throughout the world, including most of Europe, the United States of America, Japan, Thailand, India and Australia. She spent a year in France in 1995 as the Moet et Chandon Fellow, and was one of the three Aboriginal women artists to represent Australia in the 1997 Venice Biennale

Local artist Lucille Martin is on the FEHVA panel.

exhibition, Fluent. Judy has had a multitude of experiences as an artist in resident including 1994 at the School of Contemporary Arts Perth, 1998 at the University of Canterbury, New Zealand, at the University of Hawaii in 2002 and the Curtin University in 2003. High profile artist and

lecturer at Sydney College of the Arts Lindy Lee will talk about her experience as an artist in residence in Beijing through the Asia Link program. Lindy also has a comprehensive knowledge of applying for artist in residency funding through the Australia Council.

Local artist Lucille Martin is the recipient of a NSW Ministry for the Arts award for 2005 which will enable her to take up a residency at the Gunnery Studios in Sydney to promote her latest multi-media installation program of work to national and international galleries and curators working from Sydney. Lucille has also been an artist-in-residence in both Tokyo and Broome, WA. As she says herself, ‘The experience (in Tokyo) was profound. I was “living the countryâ€?, ďŹ nding a new dialogue in my art. It was like a meeting from the soul part of myself with the creative part.’ Bookings for the workshop can be made on the FEHVA website at www. FEHVA.com or on 6685 5214.

Ruth Ostrow to be interviewed on Talking Heads Local journalist Ruth Ostrow will be interviewed by Peter Thompson on ABC TV’s Talking Heads on Monday June 13 at 6.30pm.

ing chances and doing things her way. Growing up in Melbourne, the eldest of four girls, daughters of Jewish migrants, she inherited her manic depressive father’s workaholic tendencies and ambition. From her mother she learnt a great deal about the sexual revolution. Her life today, following her ‘sea change’ from Sydney to Byron Bay, is a far cry from the explosive controversy she incurred when fronting the Triple M sex show, one of its highlights being a live broadcast from a Sydney brothel, a program that outraged Senators Alston and Harradine. Ruth’s insatiable curiosity has been her driving force to determine truth. As she tells Peter Thompson, ‘Why immunise ourselves against truth?’ It was this quest that moti-

vated her to turn her back on the high life as an established ďŹ nance journalist, and channel her energy and knowledge into teaching about mind, body and soul. In her role as a widely read ‘Body and Soul’ newspaper columnist, Ruth is able to focus on the spiritual side of life. The truth that death is inevitable represents an inse-

curity that Ruth has yet to accept. Ruth has just returned from volunteering her time to The Art of Living Foundation, run by the Dalai Lama and guru Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, which is putting on an international women’s conference to examine ways of solving world problems such as poverty and hunger.

Gary Fox The Good Guys Discount Warehouse Ballina announced Katy Owen from Lennox Head as its overall Good Kid of the year to represent the Northern Rivers community at the inaugural The Good Guys Good Kid State Awards ceremony in August. The award has been specially developed to recognise children aged 5 to 17 who have voluntarily completed charitable work, or a seless act, which has had a positive impact on an individual or community. Katy is a 14 year old student at Trinity Catholic College in Lismore. She has been promoting CPR and De¿brillators in the community for almost four years. Katy was born prematurely and her life was saved

by quick acting CPR and de¿brillation. She is an advocate for the local rescue helicopter service door knock and voluntarily promotes CPR and de¿brillation. Katy was invited by the Governor General Michael Jeffery to assist in launching the National Heart Start Program in Canberra as well as the Queensland State Program with St Johns Ambulance. She volunteers her time to speak to community organisations and assists in caring for kids with special needs. Since Katy’s Good Kid Award back in August 2004, she has been involved in a national fund raising event in Sydney with St Johns Ambulance Service, which raised $500,000 through the sale of

rafĂ€e tickets throughout Australia. That money was used to put a program in place in schools around Australia, which teaches CPR to students in years 9 and 10. Through Katy’s involvement with St Johns Ambulance, and being an ambassador for The Australian Resusitation Council, she was asked to be a guest speaker at the fund raising dinner in Sydney when the amount of the donations was announced. ‘Katy has an exceptional, awe-inspiring story and we’re so proud to have her represent our Northern Rivers community at the State Awards,’ said Gary Fox. ‘The incredible range of kids we’ve had nominated is absolutely staggering.’

Our gifted children miss out on vital classes Our gifted and talented children in Byron Shire are missing out on the vital Opportunity Classes that other NSW kids have access to. There are currently no opportunity classes available anywhere from Byron Shire to the Queensland Border. Paradoxically, both Alstonville and Goonellabah primary schools have OC programs. (These schools are within twenty minutes drive of each other). In order to attend an opportunity class which is tailored to meet her special needs as a gifted student, young Vivienne Joncourt travels three hours daily by bus from Ocean Shores to Goonellabah. ‘It’s a long way for a ten year-old,’ says Vivienne’s mother Michelle Joncourt. ‘The OC class itself is the best thing that’s ever happened for her, she’s thriving in it.

‘But it means getting up around 6.30 every morning to catch a 7.30 bus from Brunswick Heads. ‘She doesn’t get home until about 5.30 at night. Those are the kinds of hours that adults work in the city – it’s no way for a country kid to live!’ Why bother inicting this kind of gruelling schedule on a young child? Contrary to popular opinion, gifted kids don’t have an ‘easy time’ at normal schools. Quite the opposite. Kids who are seen as different by others, including the academically gifted, are often subject to bullying, teasing, and ridicule. Gifted adults often repor t that they ‘dumbed themselves down’ as kids in order to ďŹ t in, or that they spent years of intense loneliness until high school or university, where they met people they could relate to.

‘No one would question giving elite athletes or talented musicians a special program,’ says Billinudgel parent Melissa Lucashenko, ‘but there is a real stigma about helping intellectually gifted kids – it’s as if they should shut up about their problems simply because they are gifted. ‘And often they do – they sit and suffer in silence, and their potential wastes away in boredom, isolation and frustration. Many, many school dropouts are gifted kids whose needs were never met in a normal classroom.’ ‘Gifted and talented’ isn’t the exclusive label people think it is, adds Mullumbimby parent Merran Morgan, who gets up at 5.45am to get her daughter to Goonellabah. ‘It doesn’t mean “geniusâ€? of the Albert Einstein model – it just means kids in the top few percentage points of testing, who don’t ďŹ t in classes for

the average learner. Every primary class in Byron Shire would probably contain at least one gifted child.’ Luckily there are steps which can be taken to help. All interested parents are strongly encouraged to register for the OC testing of primary age children which will take place at public schools in August. ‘Even though there is no local OC class at present, we really need parents to identify their kids as potential candidates,’ says M Lucashenko, ‘to prove to the Education Department that there is a real, urgent unmet need and our gifted kids are suffering unnecessarily.’ A new Byron Shire support group – ROCK (Rights for Opportunity Class Kids) – is being formed to lobby for a local OC class. Please ring 6680 4397 for details of the ďŹ rst meeting on Saturday June 4 in Mullumbimby.

Time for Labor to gird its loins Vol 20 #02

May 31, 2005

Planning, anyone? Keen observers of state government planning – an oxymoron if ever there was – have sought vainly over the years for the level playing ďŹ eld, or any playing ďŹ eld at all, or any consistent rules to the game. Like the grinning Cheshire cat, plans for the regions appear and disappear in startling fashion, the government’s muchvaunted PlanFirst the latest among them. Now we learn planning minister Craig Knowles has put up legislation, likely to be supported by the Opposition, which wrests planning controls from councils over developments worth more than $50 million, issues of state significance (presumably determined by the minister) and sites where ‘the state interest’ is regarded of higher interest than current planning rules. Of most interest to us is the minister’s control of most coastal development, which was presaged by the recent SEPP 71 coastal planning policy. In effect the minister becomes the Grand Panjandrum of planning, able to make decisions without all the constraints to which councils and government agencies must defer. One reason put up for this high-handed approach to planning is that it will enable essential infrastructure to be built quicker. Minister Knowles has also been quoted as saying the state’s economic viability depended on business being able to ‘work with certainty, a minimum of risk’. No mention of the state’s economic health being dependent on its environmental health. It has also been argued that the new legislation will enable the government, under the guise of of sensible haste, to favour those developers who have contributed to the party coffers. In relation to coastal planning, remember that Becton is among them. There is an obvious opportunity for the system to be rorted. Compare and contrast with the government’s recent sacking of Tweed Council after a public inquiry because Tweed Directions, a developer based group, spent over $600,000 to ensure their candidates were elected to Council. They effectively hoodwinked the community by failing to declare they had ďŹ nanced the election advertising campaigns of several ‘independent’ councillors. A majority of councillors on Tweed Council has been described by the inquiry as ‘puppets’ of the developer lobby group. It is an obvious problem with the electoral system. What the minister proposes with his new legislation is fraught with peril when the electoral system allows developers to pay large sums of money to political parties. Is there any greater transparency to the process than that delivered by the antics in the Tweed? Although all councillors are required to declare the source and value of any ďŹ nancial backing, the regulations are patently not rigid enough as shown by the Tweed experience. With less than $50,000 spent in total by councillors at the last Byron Shire Council elections it does not appear as if developer-backed slush funds have arrived here, at least not on a substantial scale. But all this could be changed by the state government overriding our own council on coastal developments and paying back its developer mates. Once again it is up to concerned residents, not good planning policy, to keep the bastards honest.

o now there will be no Royal Commission into the kidnapping, conďŹ nement, abuse and wrongful banishment to dangerous places of 200 people, or perhaps only 100 people, or perhaps only 50 people, and no debate in the House of Representatives about it. Two hundred – or perhaps only ten – Dreyfus-like ‘detainees’ in our various far-flung Devil’s Islands will not be shown to have suffered unjustly and their suffering covered up by timorous dills, and perhaps the whole thing will soon go away. And with Murdoch’s bias and Fairfax’s cowardice and the ABC’s brow-beaten havering perhaps it will. There is one thing the Labor Party can do now, and it’s a good idea, though John Faulkner looked at me with rigid alarm when I suggested it, and it’s what Reg Withers would if so placed, or Lynton Crosby if so placed, and working for Labor, do. It’s to use the numbers they now have in the Senate and the numbers the Greens and Democrats would gladly add to them to suspend from the Senate for, say, nine months or a year both Hill and Vanstone pending an inquiry into their criminality. This criminality is a fair bet. They seem, on the face of it, to have lied to Parliament and colluded in the torment and slaughter of children here, in the PaciďŹ c and in Iraq to an

S

extent that might make them persons of interest to the ICC and suitable for trial for crimes against humanity, and possibly war crimes, before that body. This would give the Opposition the numbers to reject the new Howard legislation, the cruel sacking laws and the selling of Telstra, for a month or two at least – till Hill and Vanstone could be persuaded to resign their Senate seats and be

This is an election he just might lose to the poorold-Kim’s-turn vote or the 65-is-old-enough vote or even, heaven help us, the locking-up-children-atbirth-is-wrong vote, which may have increased in the last few weeks among young and older women. Would the Greens and Democrats be in it? I have some private, nose-tapping evidence they would that I cannot, comrade, talk about here. Would Labor be in it? Nah. Don’t think so. They believe, as a

nomic incompetent. Barlett the drunken harasser. Brown the divisive closet Marxist. Hanson the shrieking embezzler. Fraser the addled, bitter hasbeen history has passed by. And so on. And if Labor could call Ruddock and Vanstone abusers of children, and

Hill and Downer and Howard colluders in the torture and slaughter, for insufficient reasons, of tens of thousands of innocent Iraqis, it might do the cause of the parliamentary Left some good. It doesn’t hurt, comrades, that it’s all true. Take your thoughts back to the SIEV-X and the mother of the three dead little girls they wouldn’t let see her husband in Sydney, not even for a week, not even for a day. Recall Roqia Bakhtiyari, now pregnant, diabetic, smashed of soul and longing for death in murderous, riotous, unstable Afghanistan, not Pakistan where Vanstone says she came from, and wrongly sent her back to. Think of the suicide bombers Ruddock bred in Woomera by the wrecking of their childhoods. Probably no more than 50. Or ten. The Liberals are bad people, and the Senate numbers, for five more weeks, permit us to bring them down, or do them harm, or at least to shame them before world history. It’s time.

Less heat, more light needed The odour might have gone for the moment, but the angst has not. The public meeting (May 19) called to discuss the smell coming from the Sunnybrand chicken processing plant, adjacent to the Arts and Industry Estate, was noted for heated exchanges rather than rational dialogue. So much was predictable when you put representatives of Sunnybrand, the Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC), irritated residents and the animal lobby into the same room. Freedom From Foul Odour. Org (FFFOO) had called the meeting to discuss solutions to the continuing problem of Sunnybrand’s odour and to inform the public about the issue. DEC representatives, who flew from Grafton to attend, explained the convoluted regulatory process and Byron Shire mayor, Jan Barham, filled in detail on what Council has done.

Useful information was exchanged and the audience probably went away with a better appreciation of the issue, but at times the meeting became heated. Some in the audience insisted on making assertive statements and launched raves against the company rather than asking questions as requested by the facilitator. A man, presumably from the animal lobby, told Sunnybrand general manager, AndrewYoung, that there was ‘too much killing going on over there, and many people do not like it’. Another suggested, strongly, that the company pack up and move down the road, a long way. Important issues to many, but not the focus of the meeting. Through all this Young attempted to address valid questions. Not so someone else from Sunnybrand management. He did not introduce himself to the audience and his manner did little for the company’s public relations. His

angry defensiveness was evident in the way he responded to comments. He then capped it all by assertively telling Mayor Barham that she was just ‘too difďŹ cult to deal with’. That, and his general attitude, did not go down well with many there. The point is that the public is free to make hotheaded comments, but those that represent a company are not if that company wants to maintain standing within the community where it is situated. Cool heads should speak for companies and anger has no place in building community relations. With residences and industry close neighbours at Sunrise, there are many issues to solve, such as the noise and dust coming from Hansen’s cement batching plant on Banksia Drive. Rationalism, not emotional outburst, is what is needed to reach workable solutions.

The average plastic bucket contains eight to nine litres of liquid, now if you assume that conservatively two buckets of water are uselessly ushed down the gurgler before the shower water gets hot and I turn on the hot water at the tap four times a day, that means that I, living by myself would waste about 50 litres of water every day if I didn’t use most of it.

Now’s the time If we ever wanted to do something about asylum seekers, now’s the moment. This week Liberal MP Petro Georgiou is presenting two bills to his party room, the ďŹ rst hurdle before they go to parliament. He calls his bills ‘Legislation for an act of compassion for people in immigration detention and holders of temporary protection visas, and to reform the mandatory detention system’. Mr Georgiou and the Liberals who back him need public support. Spend a few minutes contacting MPs and news media to tell the government this legislation deeply matters. Kris Latona

Saving water There has been some discussion in the media lately about the possibility of using desalination as a method of supplementing urban water supplies. These are big expensive projects when it seems to me there are smaller less expensive methods to save fresh water rather than create it. Hot water systems in the developed world are very inefficient at conserving water. Every time you turn on the hot water tap at least eight litres of water are flushed unused down the drain. How do I know? Because as far as possible I collect this water for use – in the bathroom it goes towards rinsing jobs, ushing the toi-

per day, if not more. Thinking about the problem the possible solutions that come up so far are: diverting the initial cold water in the pipe into a holding tank for flushing the toilet or using in the garden; insulating and heating the pipe that leads from the tank to the tap – if heated towel racks are possible – this should be possible also; and somehow drawing the cold water out of the pipe and returning it to the hot water tank before allowing the water to flow. There are problems with all these ideas and undoubtedly there are better solutions out there somewhere. Also my knowledge of physics, engineering and costing is limited. We are known as a creative area, maybe those technologically inclined could start to think about this problem. Someone could save the wastage of billions of gallons of water worldwide and probably make themselves a fortune as well. A design that could be retrofitted would be ideal. David Gilet

No supermarket In my opinion we don’t need another supermarket in Mullumbimby. Apart from the many obvious reasons – mostly traffic concerns – what about trying to preserve the perfect size and tone of our lovely town? This proposed development has nothing to do with the community good,

but is merely a profit maximising exercise. Don’t others in the Shire worry about how the big supermarket and however many new shops are proposed will impact on the town? Already now extraneous shops close all the time – I infer from this that we already have the right level of retail service in the town. Surely a ‘shopping complex’ would turn Mullum into just another struggling, retail eyesore like so many of our neighbouring towns! If anyone does feel that the proposed development is a tragedy waiting to happen, please write to the councillors – the threat of angry voters seems to be the only way to get their attention. We need many more services apart from more retail opportunities in the area, low cost housing, retiree housing and work and training, to mention a few. Helen Hooper freight should be on rail and Mullumbimby in this case the existing rail line that runs along the same More B-Doubles corridor as the Bangalow to B-Doubles on the Bangalow Lismore Road is likely to be to Lismore Road?

Better roads Ronald Wolff is wrong to claim the NRMA supports highway building for the sole benefit of the trucking industry (Echo, May 24). NRMA lobbies on behalf of its members and motorists for more funding to improve roads in NSW and reduce the number of inju-

ries and deaths that cause so much tragedy everyday. Our recently for med Better Roads Panel to champion better roads for communities is part of our commitment to saving lives. Better roads mean better outcomes for the environment with less pollution from shorter travel times and less wear on vehicles. Better roads save lives and decrease competition between cars and trucks. Reducing the road toll is a key priority both in terms of the human tragedy involved and the huge cost to the health system. Alan Evans

A woman’s right to self-determination None other than Australian Idol winner Guy Sebastian has brought the abortion issue back into the spotlight (did it ever leave?) by announcing that he’s opening an anti-abortion clinic! For anyone to staunchly campaign anti-abortion is completely hypocritical. While they enjoy the freedom of speech and religion that our wonderful democracy has brought them, they are trying to take away a woman’s right to self-determination. Without empathy you can’t hope to help, and no man or woman could truly say that they can put

themselves in that woman’s shoes to understand all the many factors that go towards making such a weighty and life changing decision. All we can do is educate for the prevention of unwanted pregnancies, and then support and give opportunities to complete rituals and self-healing to help deal with the grief that almost universally follows an abortion. Also provide networks for women who at any age unexpectedly decide to have a child, in order to make the wonderful experience a happy one for all – mother, child and family.

And what would it achieve making women have the baby they aren’t ready for just to increase the population and please the far right wing conservatives? Mothers resenting children they were unprepared for – less love and security, an unnecessary sad start to life, the effects of which are negative for the development of both mother and child. Sometimes unexpected pregnancies are an amazing gift of life, but obviously only if that is the way the woman feels. Let’s stop demonising abortion, an act that for thousands of years (and in

some countries still today) has been completed with ingesting herbs, ritual and family support, and even seen as an important rite of passage for a woman learning about life, death and meaning. The women were certainly not led to believe as now that it was negative, sad or even against ‘god’s plan’. When will governments and powerful people in the religious community who have absolutely no right to intervene stop trying to pass laws that take away the human right of ownership of self?

Congratulations, Lois Cartwright, on having your first letter published in The Echo. I regret however that I must take issue with you on lantana and tobacco bush. While I and so many others would love to bring back the rich rainforest that once flourished here, and many are doing their best with tree plantings, in the meantime there are certain weeds that are nourishing native species of birds and butterflies. Lantana and tobacco bush are two of them. Anna Jackson Lantana can be a dreadful Brunswick Heads weed in the forest but on

properties such as ours it provides valuable and safe habitat for bandicoots, nesting places for blue wrens and finches and honey for butterflies and other species. Without it we would have far fewer small birds and butterflies. Tobacco bush is also loved by the birds and the butterflies. We leave ours in where the space is not needed. We are planting prickly native shrubs to eventually take the place of lantana. Until they grow sufficiently to provide safe nesting places and food sources, we will leave the lantana for our birds and butterflies. Our native species have learnt to take refuge and succour from the weeds that have sprung up in what was once rainforest. Without these ‘weeds’, and that includes the much reviled but hugely valuable camphor laurel, we would have far less wildlife. Lois, if you look carefully at the tangles of weeds you will find them full of wildlife. Messy areas are a haven for our endangered species. For example, a colony of endangered bandicoots was found in a used car dump in Victoria. The biggest weed in this Shire is in fact exotic grass and you’ll find little wildlife living on it, except where it is allowed to grow

What’s happened to garlic? As a migrant from UK 1960s I was introduced to garlic via my Italian greengrocers (local business) who explained its many uses. Such friendly people, seemed like f amily, especially Grandma who chuckled when in my Lancashire accent I required pumpkin or onions! I enjoyed cooking so began experimenting and found pleasure in the process (felt like a chef) – magnificent aromas spurring me on, ahh! Couldn’t resist sampling (taste tests, my excuse), my tummy always wanted more... patience. My children clicked on and would vie for sampling turns a ‘family affair’ – such humour and fun we enjoyed. ‘It’s my turn Mum. No it’s not blah blah.’ Kids! Sampling became a

ritual of envisaged delights so they hung around the kitchen like starved birds, ever ready. I worked full-time and often cooked meals days in advance which were frozen as future delights; my children were not impressed and let me know in no uncertain terms, however I was forgiven when some other dish was presented just as yummy – they learned there was always something just as tasty on the back-burner so to speak. End results were always ‘bliss’ and seconds requested by myself too. Oliver Twist, eat your heart out, you poor deprived child! Nowadays garlic leaves much to be desired. Minimal aroma, avour left wanting. Genetically modiďŹ ed for the

sensitive nasal passages, I wonder? Eating is such a basic pleasure, as is cooking, why are we being deprived? My children were introduced to garlic gradually; I got sick of eating bland food and as a single parent decided they needed to adapt, they did, given time. After moving away from home they would ask for recipes which I usually created myself, I felt chuffed. Like ripples in a pond garlic was the pebble... Food keeps the world turning so why don’t we have a choice; pungent or mild garlic, it can’t be that hard – we have white, red and brown onions after all! Wanted: Kosher garlic (reward offered) – a gleeful smile.

along the sides of roads where it is full of ďŹ nches. I say to landholders, don’t clean up your properties or you will clean up the wildlife. Let the weeds grow until you replace them with natives.

this opportunity to thank the following people for helping to make our Reconciliation Celebration on Thursday May 26 such a huge success. Firstly, thanks again to the Byron Bay Community Centre for donating the upstairs space for the day in the true spirit of reconciliation; thanks to the Byron Bay Chilli Company for their donation of delicious corn chips and salsa, and Brumby’s Bread Shop in

Byron for their dinner rolls; thanks also to our special guest speakers Gerry Bostock, respected Bundjalung poet, playwright, ďŹ lm maker and healer and our local Queen of Comedy Mandy Nolan for bringing the day to a light-hearted chuckling close; to Johnny and Michelle, who provided the sound and visual equipment to greatly enhance the quality of the day, as well as singing a truly moving song from

And a special mention also to the students and teachers of the Byron Community School, the Byron High School and the Mullumbimby Shearwater School for adding so much to the afternoon program. With young people like these taking an active role in the reconciliation process we feel hopeful that all our Indigenous People will soon be able to walk proud in their own Country.

Pole logic Simple sets of timber poles could clarify the heights and dimensions of the controversial, seniors self-care village proposed for Condons Hill, Lennox Head. The poles are sometimes called height profiles or

height templates. They were installed on a hilly location for a proposed development application at East Ballina, so a shire precedent has been set. Metropolitan areas use them, and they have been suggested for hillside areas of Byron Shire. The poles are erected around the perimeters of proposed buildings, and their height is the same as in the DA. These easy to see devices would provide councillors and the public with an on-site view of the size, scale and proportion of the planned seniors’ village. Full-page advertisements inserted in local newspapers by the developer, Margaret

Condon, claimed that no building in the complex would be higher than two storeys. But architect’s drawings for the scheme include profiles showing dwellings climbing up the hillside, apparently of more than two-storeys. How can both assertions be correct? Objectors fear the distinctive escarpment of Condons Hill will be ‘wallpapered’ or otherwise marred by buildings. Sets of poles, placed accurately, could take out the guesswork, by either allaying or conďŹ rming people’s fears. Marelle Lee

Growing opposition to glyphosate use in Byron Shire Byron Shire Council take note, David Suzuki says that RoundUp is dangerous. He received loud applause at the Byron Bay High School Auditorium last week when he said glyphosate (RoundUp) was dangerous and Monsanto was evil. He also said that in Canada, GMOs (genetically modified organisms) for which Monsanto is responsible, stood for Get Monsanto Out. Mayor Jan Barham was present at his talk and I hope she takes note of the fact that the applause was an indication of the growing opposition in the community to Council’s use of glyphosate. At the March Council meeting, to which she had invited ROAR and its supporters, ‘to support her to request Council to find an alternative to the herbicide,’ she not only did not make the request but defended Council’s use, saying it used less than other councils. This is debatable

considering the amount poured along the Shire’s roadsides recently and, if true, is certainly no consolation to those residents suffering from its ill effects. So much glyphosate was used in the last Council spray of roadsides that it has killed trees, something unknown to have ever happened previously. Dr Suzuki went on to say that conclusive evidence that glyphosate kills frogs would be the nail in the coffin for RoundUp. I’m not so sure, there is plenty of evidence about all the other negative health and environmental effects but the planet is still being saturated with the herbicide that Monsanto introduced when Agent Orange was outlawed after the Vietnam war. This week both Tweed and Ballina Councils, National Parks and Wildlife and the Land Council will carry out their annual winter aerial spray of bitou bush along our

beaches, something that I see as a waste of effort and taxpayer funds.I have inspected the beaches after spraying and it kills so little of the bush, it is obvious that RoundUp will never get on top of the bitou problem this way. I do not actually see bitou as being a problem, the problem is the mindset that wants to replace it with native shrubs at the expense of human and environmental health. This spraying leaves off-gassing chemicals to assault beachgoers for months after the helicopters have blitzed miles of sand dunes on Sharps Beach, Seven Mile Beach, Angels Beach, Flat Rock, Blackhead Reserve and Bundjalung National Park to the south and, in the words of Tweed Council, the whole of the coast to Wooyong in the north. The environment versus human health debate is one that the Byron Ballina Greens are having at present, follow-

ing a motion put forward at a recent meeting that they request Council to find an alternative to glyphosate. While some members support the motion, Landcare members of the Greens are defending its use to preserve biodiversity, yet are using it in frog habitat and exposing their workers to its health effects which could be considered unethical. The effects of glyphosate exposure are sometimes not experienced for years after contact and then not usually recognised as being due to exposure. It is a residual chemical, ie it accumulates and builds up in the body until it reaches levels that result in various cancers etc. At the ROAR public meeting in March, I corrected Greens Councillor Richard Staples when he told the meeting that Council’s register for people who did not want their road frontages sprayed protected them. This

is not true, these residents are still exposed to drift and offgassing glyphosate and spraying can take place directly across the road and to the side of their properties. I see the only value of the register being that it is an admission that glyphosate is harmful. The environmental officer for Ballina Council who says he agrees with David Suzuki that glyphosate is dangerous recently told me his council might stop using the herbicide if I could prove that it drifted. When it is common knowledge that DDT which has never been sprayed in the Antarctic, it is now found in its environment and also in the tissue of polar bears, when it is known that fall out from Chernobyl reached England and was found to have affected deer in Scotland, and with recent findings that depleted uranium dropped into Iraq since the Gulf War is now blowing around the planet, it

amazes me that a scientist cannot work out that the aerial spraying of RoundUp along our beaches will result in its drifting into the rest of our immediate environment. I also have a report of residents being directly sprayed as a helicopter worked near their home. In a radio interview last week, Jan Barham stated that Byron is watched around the globe, can lead the way and set an example with environmental projects. I suggest that she begins by declaring Byron a RoundUpfree zone which would make other councils think twice before subjecting us to RoundUp drift from aerial spraying. We can expect to be exposed to this from the north and south this week as human (and frog) health is sacrificed so that our sand dunes may be cleared of bitou bush.

Climate change

The astonishing report in The Times has shown that the cold water engine driving the Gulf Stream has diminished by 75 percent. A 100 percent reduction would give Britain and France the same climate as Siberia.

Now that the floating sea ice in Antarctica, which was holding the glaciers together, has largely been removed, I expect an exponential increase in the rate of sea level rise, to fullfil the suggestion in my letter last year, that Byron will be inundated before 2014. New cheap solar electric panels may cost only 10% of the previous cost, source – The Hindu, February 28. Should we decrease or increase tax on solar panels?

Pine Gap of course is a spy station and missile tracking site and is being used for the war on Iraq. The Bamboozler strongly supported the Pacific Solution during the 2002 election. Bamboozle supports the GST, the most regressive form of tax that costs small business people time and money to act as tax collectors and a tax that fueled inflation from the moment it took effect, a tax that wealthy corporations and individuals weasel out of by clever arrangements. Make no mistake about it, Bamboozle loves America and will bend over and say aloha at every opportunity he has to spread his prayer mat and face Washington DC. He is no alternative to Howard and Co on this score. It would be good for voters next time to consider casting ballots for independents and Greens, so that the balance of power might conceivably be a bit more pro-Australian and pro-ecosurvival, rather than a continuation of slavering to the Yanks and their doomsday machine world.

safe fuel, and the public are entitled to know that this is not so. Let us not have knowledge suppressed, as with asbestos, the effects of which were made known to the industry but suppressed for nearly 100 years. Hopefully knowledge of the deadly effects of diesel truck exhaust fumes will spur people into demanding that long distance haulage go by rail, where fuel usage and pollution is considerably lower. Hopefully also, gain community suppor t for concepts put forward by mayor Jan Barham (at the Peak Oil lecture) for more localised production of goods and services which can be designed to reduce the need of long and short haul trucking. A concept which would also reduce the 28% youth unemployment in the Richmond electorate.

A gover nment that ignores a mystery gas leak in an airport terminal, a government that has such slack security at its airport baggage carousels that handlers can parade the contents of travellers’ bags in a ‘cheeky stunt’, a government that has baggage handlers under surveillance yet allows taped security footage to be wiped from cameras despite legal requests for access to same. A government that allows passenger baggage weight records to be wiped from computer records rather than archiving same and a government which has such lax record keeping that it can incarcerate or deport its citizens in the name of border security. The whole fiasco is a disgrace and Australian citizens are paying for the hubris and narcissism of our political leadership. When are citizens of this country going to awake from their relaxed and comfortable torpor? When it affects us personally? The bugger you Jack I’m OK syndrome infects our polity, or are we to reclaim our birthright and demand the freedoms and protection our forebears laid down their lives for? What happens next is up to you!

A report published in the Sunday Times (May 8) has now shown that the Pentagon Report on Climate Change (2004) was correct in forecasting significant climate change before 2007.

Council Roundup with Lesley Patterson

Paid parking growth hits amber light

R

epresentatives from the Byron Business Group spoke successfully at last Tuesday’s Council meeting against the expansion of paid parking in Byron Bay. A recommendation to expand the pay and display machines into the streets of the Bay hit a speed bump as the majority of councillors asked for staff to provide more information. Council have asked staff to report on the set-up and operating costs of the expanded scheme which would see resident exempt paid parking introduced into six streets in the CBD. Cr Bob Tardif ’s successful motion also set staff the unenviable task of providing an analysis into the economic effect of paid parking on businesses in Byron Bay. ‘Council has never attempted to do a study on the commercial impact of paid parking,’ Cr Tardif told The Echo. ‘My personal attitude is that an income of over $200,000 per annum from parking areas is sufďŹ cient. However I am prepared to look at extending it if we look at the economic advantages and disadvantages.’ Crs Westheimer and Lazarus tried to push through an

unconditional approval for the expansion of paid parking but, without the support of the entire Greens bloc, they failed. Cr Lazarus believes the delay in expanding the paid parking scheme has cost Council tens of thousands of dollars. ‘We could have had it up and running a year ago, but that money instead has had to come out of the ratepayers pockets when it would have come out of tourists’ pockets.’ ‘This is just another delaying tactic,’ said John Lazarus last week about the final decision. ‘We know the economic impacts. It will disadvantage some and it will advantage others. Restaurants might be disadvantaged because people will not be able to stay as long and shops might get a

quicker turnover. Residents however won’t be affected. This was the experience of Leichardt Council [in Sydney] who had a similar problem and they also experienced huge pressure from the Chamber of Commerce.’ The Byron Bay Bypass also raised its head this meeting. State Rail has halted the progress of the project by refusing to grant approval for a railway crossing near Mitre 10 at the southern end of Jonson Street. A resolution to ask the Minister for Transport to intervene and give the red light to a second crossing was approved. Bob Tardif, who proposed the motion, told The Echo, ‘Unless we have the state government approval to put in the second rail crossing

then we might as well do nothing on the bypass.’ Two further bypass resolutions included seeking approval from the Minister to widen the existing rail crossing at Shirley Street to relieve traffic congestion and to ask the state government for funding and technical support to help solve Byron Bay’s trafďŹ c management problems. Don’t expect boom gates or an end to tourism promotional campaigns to be among the possible solutions. The awarding of a new tender for the Clarkes Beach CafĂŠ was on the agenda. As the issue was considered in conďŹ dential session we cannot ofďŹ cially report on the result, however a little bird tells us that Councillors did not bite the bullet and name the new lessee because of objections to the way the process had been undertaken. Becton may be rethinking its move to take Council to court over the refusal of its development application for erosion protection works in front of the Bayshore Room conference centre. Council have agreed to Becton’s request to enter into mediation over the case, however a rescission motion has already been lodged to overturn the decision.

Further aid for Sri Lanka With the support of the Beach Hotel and Blues festival organisers, more funds have been allocated for effective aid support in Sri Lanka. ‘The funds are going to where they can be effective and the host group in Sri Lanka with Oxfam Community Aid Abroad are now working with a large portion of the money raised by the Byron community,’ said Greens MLC Ian Cohen. ‘I see this as a very successful beginning and am conďŹ dent that when I next visit Sri Lanka I will be able to report on substantial progress. ‘The fact that we as a community have the support of the Beach Hotel and Blues festival organisers has meant that the fundraising post tsunami in little Byron Shire has proven once again we are a small community with a big heart. ‘It is great to see the plans come back and details like an assurance that there will be no asbestos used in their building projects is all part of the process of opening the communication channels so we can be effective into the future. We are also currently looking at reductions in the costs of individual buildings with different materials. ‘Most importantly we are moving. It is important to get

the mix of construction and other forms of aid, particularly training for trauma counselling, in balance.’ So far the ďŹ rst $A41,800 is now being utilised by Green Sri Lanka. Building fully damaged houses: The Green Movement of Sri Lanka is planning to rebuild three completely damaged houses and three partially damaged houses. These families are from the lowest economic level and marginalised people in the society. The Green Movement of Sri Lanka is planning to provide support for the volunteers who are working on recovery and rehabilitation activities, who are also been affected by the tsunami disaster. Six houses will be built and repaired in Galle, Matara and Hambantota and families will be settled in houses by December 2005. Sixty-nine tsunami affected youth activists in Galle, Matara and Hambantota will receive support for education, training on life skills and livelihoods as well as support for livelihoods and will be settled with education and livelihood activities by December 2005. More than 150 young volunteers and activists will receive social assistance from the Green Movement.

DPI ďŹ sh vet creates interest Wollongbar-based ďŹ sh veterinarian Matt Landos, pictured right, created a lot of interest at the Australian Veterinary Association annual conference on the Gold Coast last week. While the majority of sessions at the conference were about f ar m and domestic animals like cattle, horses, dogs and cats, presentations about fish attracted an increasing number of veterinarians. Mr Landos, a NSW Department of Primary Industries ďŹ sh veterinarian, coordinated the aquatic animal health section at the conference with support from other interstate fish veterinarians. ‘It was only the third time ďŹ sh had been on the program and there is definitely an increasing interest among veterinarians,’ he said. ‘Ornamental ďŹ sh, aquaculture production industries and wild ďŹ sheries all beneďŹ t from the improvement in animal health, supplied through input from aquatic animal veterinarians. And all veterinarians can help the DPI in its role of surveillance for exotic and emerging diseases that may impact on aquaculture development or the management of the sustainable recreational and commercial ďŹ sheries.’

this tasty native species in earthern ponds.’ Mr Landos said there was a tremendous skill overlap from ‘traditional’ veterinary species to those required for aquatic animals. ‘The issues of food safety, animal welfare and responsible use of pharmaceuticals such as antimicrobials, are just as relevant and important as in other species,’ he said. ‘There is also a role for all practising veterinarians in surveillance for exotic diseases. ‘Simply recognising the clinical signs of sickness in ďŹ sh and knowing who to alert is the ďŹ rst step towards safeguarding the aquatic production animal industries and wild aquatic environments in Australia.’

Articles Lesley Patterson interviews Canadian environmentalist and zoologist David Suzuki

Taking on the challenge of saving the environment Your latest book Tree: a biography, reads as if it has been written by a naturalist rather than an environmental activist. I don’t know about these labels. I certainly hope I continue to be an activist. I was on a blockade at the end of March where I thought I might actually get arrested. It was up in a group of islands called Haida Gwaii, part of the Queen Charlotte Islands, off the coast of British Columbia.

The natives had decided that they had had enough of the duplicity of the forest company and they were going to mount a blockade. This company is shipping 200 boatloads of logs a year out of the community, which has high levels of unemployment. One boatload, if it was processed in the islands and milled in their factory, would employ 40 men. Those are our jobs going out as raw logs. The blockade was to tell the logging company that they’re not

going to do any more logging until they come to an agreement with the native community. Are you often involved in on the ground protests?

I’ve been adopted by this tribe, so I went to show solidarity. There was another time when I thought I was going to be arrested about two years ago, I live right on the ocean and I was in the office and my wife called and said, ‘David, they’re dumping rocks on to the beach’. I came running down and they had dumped 11 truckloads of these giant rocks ÂœÂ˜ĂŠVÂœÂ“ÂŤĂ•ĂŒiĂ€ĂŠÂŤĂ€ÂˆÂ˜ĂŒÂˆÂ˜}ĂŠVÂœĂƒĂŒĂƒ onto the beach, because they were going to try to U iĂœĂŠEĂŠĂ€i“>Â˜Ă•v>VĂŒĂ•Ă€i`ĂŠÂˆÂ˜ÂŽ prevent erosion by building V>Ă€ĂŒĂ€Âˆ`}iĂƒĂŠUĂŠ >ĂƒiÀÊ >Ă€ĂŒĂ€Âˆ`}iĂƒ these rocks walls.

longer teaching but are concentrating on educating the public how to conserve nature. If you were giving advice to people in Byron Shire, what three actions could they take to conserve nature? They should go to my website (www.davidsuzuki.org), where they will find the Nature Challenge which lists the ten most effective things we can do to lighten our impact on nature. [The David Suzuki Foundation’s Nature Challenge includes: reduce home energy use by 10%; choose an energy efďŹ cient home and appliances; don’t use pesticides; eat meat free meals one day a week; buy locally grown and produced food; choose a fuel efďŹ cient vehicle; walk, bike, car pool or take public transport; choose a home close to work or school; support alternative transportation; learn more and share with others.] We are working with the Australian Conservation Foundation and we would like to Australianise the Nature Challenge, because clearly in Australia water is

more important as an issue than it is in Canada. Around 168,000 Canadians have signed up to the Nature Challenge. We’ve asked people to sign up to agree to do at least three out of the ten things, which is a piece of cake. I would like to get a million people signed, because not only will that have a considerable impact, politically it would be very powerful. If I took that to any politician and said I had half a million Canadians signed up, my bet is that every politician would sign it. This is how political change will come about, when the population demonstrates their support for environmental action. How seriously do you think that the public takes the environment? Very, I think the problem is they feel helpless about being able to do anything. We have had many polls that show over 90% of Canadians believe nature is important to their own identity and are willing to pay higher taxes to protect nature. So where does it go wrong? David Boyd wrote a book called Unnatural Law to look at the legislation that exists to protect nature. Out of 29 OECD countries, Canada came 28th. So we believe nature needs to be protected but our governments don’t have the legislation set up to do that. Politicians haven’t really been forced to do that because they’re focussed on economic interests. Canada has ratified the Kyoto Protocol but the question now is how is the government going to develop a strategy to meet the target. The automobile industry has argued, even though they’re very signiďŹ cant con-

tributors, if you make us reduce our output we are going to have to leave Canada. So they’ve threatened us and the government has set them a target which is much lower. Who is going to pick up the differerence? It is going to be the public. It makes me very angry. The Kyoto Protocol leads us into Mr Howard. Now that Russia has signed on the Kyoto Protocol is international law. Only two industrialised countries in the world are saying to hell with international law. As someone who regards Australia as my second country I feel absolutely humiliated that the government of Australia has become an international renegade. Howard got elected for a third term and he is saying screw international law, it is much more important to suck up to the US. I think it is scandalous. Canada’s largest trading partner is the US. Bush put huge pressure on the Canadian government not to ratify Kyoto and we ratiďŹ ed it anyway. I am very proud of my government for that. I think that Mr Howard will be regarded as a criminal in the future. His crime will be regarded as a crime against future generations, because what he is doing is saying we can’t do anything about it and basically leave the problem to our grandchildren and their children. Do you believe that climate change is our most important environmental problem? I don’t think anyone knows what is the most important problem. Certainly right now climate change is looming as this massive, massive disaster because it affects everything. The difficulty with climate change is that compared to a forest which

could be clearcut tomorrow, the forest seems to have the greater priority because it is immediate. The climate thing seems to be so remote, a slow motion catastrophe, so it is harder to get people concerned about what is going on. The terrifying aspect to me is that if we were to stop all excess air pollution or greenhouse gases tomorrow, in other words if everybody reduced their output by 50%, it would be several hundred years before what we’ve already added to the atmosphere would equilibrate in the air, water and land. Kyoto is just a tiny beginning. On your website, you say that we could reach an environmentally sustainable situation within a generation. We said let’s look ahead to the year 2030 and envision what kind of country do we want. Do we want the air to be free of pollutants so that we don’t have the current levels of asthma? Everybody agrees. Business people, government, communities all want to aim for that. Do we want to be able to drink the water out of any lake, to catch and eat a ďŹ sh without worry? Now we have a goal. We looked at nine different areas and we asked can we get to what we think is sustainability by 2030 and amazingly the answer is yes. In terms of atmosphere we can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 85-90% but the crucial thing is we have to start immediately and we have to have concrete targets and deadlines. The question is can we go for a much greater target than Kyoto, but stretch it out for 25 years? And it turns out we can. We can achieve sustainability within a generation. continued on pages 16-17

Learn How To Take The Confusion Out Of The Stock Market & Trade In Any Direction By Harnessing The Power Of Options! (PLUS Receive $270 worth of FREE BONUSES) Dear Friend, What you are about to discover could be the most important message you read this year and could very well change your life forever. Chances are, you’ve never heard the amazing secrets that I’m about to reveal to you. And if you have, then I guarantee that you’ve never heard them explained so simply that you can instantly apply them for your own profit! I am going to reveal to you how within a VERY short time, you could be living the lifestyle you want—trading the Stock Market—and potentially make an astonishing income by employing a proven… incredibly simple...set of principles. Imagine...turning on your home computer and knowing exactly how you can instantly make potentially thousands of dollars in a matter of weeks? Or imagine making a profit on the market—whether it’s rising or falling! (How would it feel to laugh with joy as the market crashes! Can you imagine that? You know, my question has always been—how can I put in a minimum amount of effort...and take out a maximum amount of profit? Am I lazy? No! But there are things in life that I prefer to devote my time to rather than working every day. So why not try and get the greatest amount of gain from the least amount of effort? You could be part of an exclusive group of people and have the chance to immerse yourself in what is the most profitable...life-changing...freedom-providing wealth event you have ever seen. I’m going to show you a truly wonderful way to make a superb living, with a lot less stress or difficulty than you’ve ever experienced. What’s more, it’s guaranteed to cost you nothing! In fact, no matter what—you’re going to walk away with a profit. These are the same strategies that have created a lifestyle for me that only a few people EVER get to experience. You don’t need lots of money to start investing. If you’re tired of working long hours in a job that bores you, then this is for you! Could you enjoy a lifestyle that allowed you all the time and money to do whatever you want, when you want –like go on a holiday to your favourite place, stay at the best resort, not worry about the cost - only which cocktail you’ll have when you get there? Investing may sound hard to master but in this 4 hour course, you will be shown how to easily learn to trade and create wealth and a comfortable lifestyle for yourself. Find out how to replace your income...without really having to work for it! How to think like a millionaire (because the funny thing is—when you change your thoughts, you change your results!). See how to use income from the market for your personal needs. Why 93% of Australians are either slaves to the bank or slaves to their jobs—and how to make sure this doesn’t become your life story. How to donate more money to your favourite charity (don’t worry you’ll be shown how to earn so much more, so donating more money will be a walk in the park). Why getting High returns does not have to mean taking High risks (and why the average person will never understand this without educating themselves financially). How to make investing your hobby (but a hobby that might earn you thousands of dollars...or perhaps replace your current income...for only a few hours a week). How to do the opposite of what most people do on the stock market—and potentially make an absolute fortune. How to minimise the risk of investing in shares (so that you can sleep at night-even if your shares go down in value...you don’t have to worry!). The incredible way to Make Money Even When Share Prices Go Down! How to pay for holidays without using a cent out of your own pocket (this tricky little secret could pay for your skiing trips...overseas holidays...leisure activities!) Learn the simple things to look for to avoid the silly things that most people do when trading shares.

See how you can buy shares...of some of the biggest companies in Australia...for just a fraction of what they’re really worth! (that’s right...you could control thousands of dollars worth of Blue Chip shares for only a few hundred dollars!! You could get started immediately after you leave the seminar!). Discover what “Options” really are and how to use them to make profits, so high, you’ll be embarrassed to tell your friends & family

(learning to do this skillfully, you could see how to buy a new BMW , Boat or Jetski without touching a cent of your own money!) What others say...

“To keep you up to speed: Last week turned into an $8450 profit; and this week has realised $2350 already (Wed.): I have to say Julian, that just watching the trades, and then being a part of it is exciting, and my friends say "why weren't you doing this years ago; you had such a capacity for mental expansion", which I confused with "metal expansion" so tried to make money out of security fences. No one tells you the truth do they!”

Alan Manning - Tweed Heads “I have attended many courses on share trading so was somewhat skeptical of another one that promises everything—but falls way short, but my wife said "just go, what have you got to lose?" So I went. From the start it was obvious that Julian had something different to offer. His presentation and his approach to share trading was completely refreshing. Since then Julian has changed my life. I recommend his seminar to anyone sick of their current situation. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.”

Matthew Thane—Byron Bay “Julian's course was absolutely amazing. His passion for helping people rise out of their current financial struggle is profound. He not only explains his strategies in simple, easy to understand terms, but he also packages it together in a step-by-step learning process. Make sure you have an empty mind about investing so that you can allow your mind to be like a sponge & soak up all the gems of wisdom that Julian has gained from his extensive experience.”

made out of oil so they had no pesticides, no petrol to transport food. What has emerged out of it is amazing. Eighty per cent of their farms are now organic and they are aiming for 100%. Eighty per cent of the vegetables consumed in their cities are grown in the cities in empty lots and on the top of buildings. I went to one of the largest vegetable gardens in Havana. It employs 76 people full time and they sell it all right there on the edge of the farm to the local people. So the neighbourhood gets jobs, they get fresh, organic food and it’s cheap. Byron Shire already has several farmers’ markets selling locally produced fruit and vegetables, but what about locally produced packaged goods?

I was recently in New Zealand and in my room there was a bottle of Evian water for $9 and I said to the people in the hotel, ‘You must have some of the best water in the world and you’re paying $9 for bottled water from France.’

I just came back from Cuba where they hit the crisis in 1990 when the USSR collapsed that we’re going to hit with peak oil. They lost their market for sugar and their source of cheap oil overnight. You know that pesticides are

You have to start making them here. It’s got to go back and become very local. I am trying to teach my children how to bottle vegetables and how to catch fish, because that is the way my parents did it and the way we are going to have to go back to. We’re going to have to make do with much less variety and much more local food.

What do you believe will happen to transport after peak oil? If hybrid cars are only an interim measure what will replace them? The big question is whether we can work out the logistics of making a hydrogen car. Toronto has an experiment where they use a huge wind turbine right in downtown Toronto on the waterfront and they are using the electricity from the turbine to electrolyse water to make hydrogen. They are using the hydrogen to run a street sweeper, a truck and a bus. They want to show that you can have a completely closed loop so that you don’t produce any pollutants at all. We’ve been promised hydrogen fuel cells in cars now for ten years and the question is still whether you can find a reliable fuel cell and you also have to have a delivery system. Those things have still to be worked out. Suzuki explains how Canadians have developed wind, hydroelectric and nuclear power plants to deliver renewable energy.

Articles and more environmentalists are saying we are going to have to go nuclear. My prediction for Australia is that you will commit to developing coal because you have such large deposits and there will be pressure, because you have nuclear fuel to develop nuclear power. Nuclear power is a big technology. When you depend on mega technology you have mega problems. We should be diffusing our energy demands in a variety of smaller technologies. We should have geo thermal and tide power, solar power and wind power.You become far less vulnerable then to brown-outs and we haven’t deal with the whole issue of cradle to grave, how we dispose of the waste. In Canada, the history of nuclear power has been one of absolutely constant cost overruns, to the tune of billions of dollars in the building of the plants, and very unreliable and long periods when the plants have to shut down.They are an extremely expensive, ďŹ nicky source of energy. The thing is they say our technology is foolproof. What is a foolproof technology? It it one free of fools, right? Everyone of us goes to a party and gets hungover and goes into work the next day. All kinds of things make us operate as fools at one time or another, accidents are inevitable.

One does it at the grass roots level when we begin to make changes ourselves. Certainly we have got to get a movement demanding that the environment be an issue that politicians pay attention to. I am shocked every time we have an election that the environment is never a major issue. It is not on the agenda. We’ve got to make it an issue. The other thing is we’ve got to now bring business on side and we can do that in a number of ways. We can decide to have boycotts, that is one way to go or we can try to reach across to bring business on side. At the Foundation we’ve formed a Business Advisory Group and we are trying to get business to acknowledge that there are certain things that we’ve all got to work together on. There are a few people that already recognise they have to bring their activities into line.

So I ďŹ nally got an offer to visit in 1988 from the Commission for the Future, which was set up by the Hawke government and when I arrived I was shocked at what a multicultural society Australia was.

Well, I came here for the ďŹ rst time in 1988 and all my life I have dreamed of going to three places in the world – The Serengeti, the Amazon and Australia.

moment it is crazy that it is cheaper for Canadians to eat sheep from Australia than sheep which are raised up the valley in British Columbia. That is not going to be on with the end of cheap oil. Lots of things are going to change. I am also amazed that Australia is still cutting down trees. You have so little forest here and the challenge there is that I don’t think government is going to make many more national parks, so if forests are going to be logged it needs to be done in a way that can go on forever. Our Foundation has spent a lot of time working out a system called A Cut Above, which is a way of doing ecoforestry. Using ecosystem based management you cut down fewer trees, but it is a way of logging forever. You have to design it in such a way that when you cut down a tree you don’t remove habitat, and it has to be very carefully planned.

when he said, ‘Nelson, you’re an asshole. Let’s get out.’ And he didn’t. I am sure he never dreamed that apartheid would disappear in his lifetime and he would become president of the country. So I don’t think anybody should say it is too late, but I do know it is a lot harder now because the world is radically different from the world I lived in as a child. When my grandchildren call me begging me to take them fishing, I can’t take them where I went as a boy because there aren’t any ďŹ sh left.

However, Julian Dawson does just that. He has turned his hobby of trading on the stock market to a permanent part time job of a self managed trader, allowing him ample income and time to enjoy a quality lifestyle. He has also turned to educating every

know how, you can enjoy a quality lifestyle and have more time to do what you want to do. During his working career, Julian’s quick rise to corporate success was dampened by the realization that he was working endless hours and spent much of his life travelling and living out of a suitcase. He Àgured that there had to be more to life than the perceived success of being on the treadmill of a corporate career. Not being what you would consider an investment guru at the time, Julian decided to start learning the share market and the virtues of trading for a living. In his spare time he dabbled in trading and to his surprise he was a natural. He quickly understood how he could replace his income with a relatively straight forward investment strategy and his hobby then turned into his own employment strategy. He was so excited about his strategy, he decided to start sharing it with others and now conducts regular courses on how to succeed in the stock market. Julian believes teaching allows him to share his gift with others. His style is light hearted and shows

passion and enthusiasm. He shares information freely and makes learning fun. He alleviates any fears his participants might have about the stock market through his simple and easy to understand approach to investing. ‘What is different about the course is its self-fulĂ€lling, not only for the participants, but for me,’ Julian admits. ‘I continuously strive to deliver the course in an interesting and easy to understand format. It is different from other similar courses because it looks at and understands the human factor and the emotional elements tied up with average people trading for the Ă€rst time. My partner Frea and I offer personalised assistance and cater to the individual in a caring and nurturing way. We care for our attendees in a way that people feel they are coming to visit a friend, not experiencing just another course.’ The Stock Market sounds hard to master but anyone can easily learn how to trade and be inspired to create wealth and enjoy a comfortable lifestyle. This clear and simple 4 hour course will teach you the steps to be a conĂ€dent trader. ‘For me teaching these strategies,

allows me to share something with my community,’ he said. I enjoy meeting different people and I am passionate about my hobby that has gained me a quality lifestyle. I take pride in what I teach and enjoy teaching so others too can learn to enjoy life and not stress about money.’ Julian said. Julian will be hosting a 4 hour Stock Market course at The Lord Byron Resort, Byron Bay on Tuesday 14th June and Saturday 18th June. At this course, participants will learn the realistic approach to investing in Shares with conÀdence, how to make Money whether the market is going up or down, how to generate a monthly income from shares – regardless of market conditions. Most importantly attendees will gain the conÀdence to self trade the market. Julian’s course will run from 6.00pm to 10.30pm on Tuesday 14th June at Lord Byron Resort, Byron Bay. Alternatively attend on Saturday 18th June from 2:00pm to 6:30pm. Tickets are $44 per person. Bookings are available on Tel: 1300 557 881. If you are not happy with the Course, there is a full money back guarantee.

Byron Shire is an area of extremely high biodiversity, a state that is being threatened by the continued pressures being put on ecosystems by human impacts.

Several primitive rainforest plants are found in the Shire which remains an important habitat for subtropical rainforest species.

With tourism on the increase and Byron Shire purported to be the most popular backpacker destination in Australia after Sydney, the increases in sewage, rubbish and waste water are significant, particularly when combined with the increase in development in order to accommodate the growing population.

areas. In the twelve months from July 2003 to June 2004, Landcare groups carried out regeneration work over 62 hectares of land and revegetation over 21 hectares. In addition, huge amounts of private regeneration and revegetation works have been undertaken in the Shire which boost these figures.

Byron Shire now has a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) which aims to protect valuable stands of vegetation and significant trees and to minimise the loss of valuable wildlife habitats. The TPO requires development consent for the removal of all trees, palms and ferns over three metres in height and any species of plant within a community described as heath, mangrove, saltmarsh or sedgeland. The number of tree removal applications approved per year has dropped from 111 in 2001 to 90 in 2003.

In further good news, discussions with real estate agents and property owners indicate a growing preference for property purchasers to ascribe increasing value to land which is vegetated and contains natural attributes such as creeks and forests. This is in clear contrast with the dominant paradigm of years gone by where cleared paddocks were most valued by buyers.

Landcare groups have made a huge contribution to the restoration and Population growth and the repair of biodiversity across the Shire by resulting urban expansion undertaking regeneration is a major pressure on biodiversity. Between 1991 works, or weed control, and revegetation works, or and 2001 the population tree planting, in specific grew by over 33% or 1.9%

WHEN WHAT WHERE

WRITERS FESTIVAL 12 4-7 AUGUST

I think the humble vehicle has been overlooked when it comes to mature sexual activity. How many of us experienced our ďŹ rst few loinal stirrings in the front seat of a Datsun 120 Y? In fact I was conceived in the backseat of my grandparent’s Hillman Hunter so the feeling of vinyl underneath my thighs is a deeply emotional experience for me. In those early years when it was hard to ďŹ nd somewhere private to do the wild thing with object of one’s desire, the car became the portal to pleasure. It wasn’t the size of a man’s appendage that you were most interested in, it was the bounce in his seat. And so, in homage to the humble humpy pumpy in the old jalopy I’ve developed my own version of what I call the Car-ma Sutra: a collection of slightly achievable positions that you may be able to maintain without sustaining knee grazing or head injury. There’s the front seat frottage – now this works best on your own, but if you are going to

take a passenger on board then I suggest that they be small and agile and able to manoevre in a tight position – lest they become wedged into the steering wheel and end up sitting on the horn. Try not to blow the horn when you’ve got the horn, it really stuffs up the intimacy, particulary if you’re in the carpark in K– Mart. The back seat can provide a bit of a romp zone, but is really best for a feel up there’s just not enough leg room, unless of course you’ve got a Kombie, then you can have a few friends at a time over to play. One in the front, one in the back is great as a safe sex method, I think you’ll ďŹ nd the seat the ultimate barrier method. For those into bondage, there’s always the boot. A small dark place, but man, with a bit of imagination you’d be surpised just what kinky things you can do with a jack. Of course the jerry can tend to add a bit of unwanted nausea and the spare tyre can leave pretty nasty rubber burns on your butt. The

AFRO DIZZI ACT Feeling Dizzy Mandy Nolan gets the up on why Shannon (Sol Robert) Carroll moved down.

OJ hanging in Ocean Shores and the rest of the dudes commuting from Brizzy for band practise. Sure shows that there are some positives to the highway -- it’s becoming the freeway to love. So why would a couple of Brizzy blokes decide to jump ship from their inner city life when it was all going so swimmingly? ‘We just moved down to Ocean Shores. We have the studio happening. Ant and Nick and Mark are still in Brisbane but they come down for gigs. We are also part of a project with David Rastovich – he invited us down here to work on a surf and music project...I grew up on the Sunshine Coast. It’s funny, we moved to the city and I found my Afro buddies and now I’m back by the sea again.‘ Shannon is a man with a plan. He’s not one for sitting idle and is regularly manifesting

bonnet has long been the chosen altar of Car-ma Sutra love making. This is where you can really get the added beneďŹ t of suspension, with not only a good bounce and leverage but if you’ve been driving, then you’ll ďŹ nd a little warmth as well. The major downside is that this position is weather pending. In inclement weather I think you’ll ďŹ nd it a rather slippery ride, and one powerful thrust can send you skidding across the bonnet, not to mention the risk of lightning strike. For the more adventurous, or those who like to get on top – there’s a natural high when one manages to consummate one’s passion on the roof. This can be short lived with a soft top. Car-ma Sutra is still in its infancy, in fact, I’m still to come up with more than three positions – How about it, alright and is that all? One bit of advice though, if you do engage in a bit of four wheeled play – make sure you engage the childproof locks. You don’t want to have any nasty little accidents.

INTERVIEW

himself around the circuit in various incarnations: ‘The funk collective is going to be a happening thing – that’s Friday nights at the Buddha Bar Courtyard, and on Wednesdays I’m at the Buddha Bar as DJ Sol R. Actually I’m thinking of just calling myself DJ Sol. ‘That’s the great thing about moving to Byron. You really start to drop a lot of your old stuff, even if it is just a consonant you’ve been hanging onto for a while.’ Afrodizziact are a band that really reflect what’s so exciting about the music scene at the moment. This wonderful fusion has occurred between electronic music and live and created a funky playground that sees everybody pitching in and playing together. There’s even a whiff of turning back to the older stuff, with kids poring through some of the rare stuff they find in their parent’s record collections. Stuff like Sly and the Family Stone, that gets you bouncing on a funky psychedelic up. Regarding the retro feel of a lot of the

beats, Shannon says: ‘It feels like it’s all coming back. We’re really into psychedelic funk. It’s an exciting era in music. There’s still the electronic sounds, but it’s going back to where it came from – a live scene. It’s like that when I play with Junkbeats as well – a live band with program beats. We really enjoy fusing, all the members of Afro love fusing all the world influences, electronic and jazz. I don’t really follow what the rest of the world is into, I’m in my own little world. It’s so exciting when society shifts back to what I think! Around here I think the East Coast Blues Fest has had a huge influence on how people understand and appreciate music around here. When yu hear great quality jazz and blues and soul and reggae – it just all helps lift the game for everyone else.’

Afrodizziact play the Bangalow Jazz Festival on Friday and Sunday at 8pm, Queen’s Birthday long weekend.

The Story of Oren Mandy Nolan catches up with violin teacher turned internationally acclaimed doco maker Oren Seidler. Oren Seidler had an unusual childhood. Where most of us claim we barely knew our father, Oren can claim that she didn’t even know his name – a man on the run with a multitude of identities, Bruce and Me is a documentary which maps the tyranny of who we are and how our family ties define us and how we view the world. Bruce and Me is the revealing documentary of a daughter and her fraudulent father – how does a girl learn to be good when her dad is a crim? So how did it all start for Oren, who found herself being drawn from living in Broken Head teaching violin to travelling around the globe completing her film. ‘It all started with a pitch at the Australian International Documentary Conference, people all around the world were there and on that day

‘I’d already been shooting for a year simply because I wanted to tell my father’s story – that was good because I wanted to and he’s very forthcoming..the process was extremely revealing. Even though the film is about a subject that is so unique, I tried to make it universal. You don’t have to have a criminal for a Dad to understand – it’s about coming to terms with accepting your parents.’

appeal, it has international appeal as well. ‘It’s been on Canadian TV – several times - I’ve only come back – it had it’s official premiere at the International Documentary Festival Amsterdam. It took incredible tenacity and quite honestly I don’t know where I got the energy from, but I wanted to get to know my Dad – then I shot for 2 years. Going into Post production was huge – I had 150 hours that had to be cut down to 82 minutes – I worked with an editor for 5 months – I wanted to do a narrative journey – you spend weeks viewing the material. I worked with a story editor first - finding what is the story – I could have made 10 different films, this is not a bleeding heart therapy film, I didn’t want to do therapy in public, I hate that kind of thing - but I wanted to touch on some deep feelings that people would relate to and understand and take home and think about – it’s all about just accepting.’

The film has truly shown that not only does it have wide

For Oren, the process of accepting seems to have

Film Transit came on board. They are probably the most prestigious documentary distributors in the industry. The ABC also came on board and that started the ball rolling for the subsequent funding to come in.‘ ‘It ended up being an international co-production between Australai and Canada – only the second ever co-production and the funding is ABC Australia, Life Network Canada, IFC Canada, Discovery Health Canada and YLE (Finland Production).’

How Grate Thou Art Mandy Nolan chews the fat with the Grate’s lead vocalist and contender for Ms Personality, Patience Hodgson. I was kind of panicking about my interview with the Grates. One because it was 11.25am and I hadn’t done my homework, I couldn’t find the bio or the CD and was trying to patch together a picture of this Brisbane based trio. I know they play hard but that’s not good enough. Reason Two while I was freaking, because the interview was at 11.30 and I was going to have to wing it. You always know if you’re going to struggle with an interview when every question is met with what I would call the muso’s equivalent of the vocal shrug, it’s the ‘Yeah, whatever’ kind of response. It makes some interviews like pulling teeth. When the tele-conferencing company patched me through with the usual ‘If you have any problems in the interview please press the hash button and I’ll come and assist you,’ Patience came on the line with a ‘That really freaks me when they say that. It makes you feel like something really bad is going to happen.’ I added ‘Like you’re going to combust, or there’s an unexpected terrorist attack in your loungeroom...’ The subject laughs and continues to echo my concern. Oh thank god, she’s not only more than normal, she’s vibrant and funny and is the kind

INTERVIEW

of chick who couldn’t give a shit about looking cool. When they were at South By South West in Austin Texas Patience joked about sharing the interview room with a few members of the Bravery. ‘I couldn’t stop laughing at them. Even the most stylised Australians don’t look like that...I think I’ve been tainted by Australians – I’m only attracted to slobs...but I couldn’t believe these men, just the precision of the way they look, every detail, they were nice and all that, just spent a lot of time styling themselves...’ First off the mark Patience checks that I’m not with a radio station – a big relief – so she can relax. ‘I just finished doing an interview with Bay FM and I thought it was Bay FM in the Redland Shire and I kept saying oh yeah my friend does a program on Bay FM the first Sunday every month, and the guy said, I don’t think so, and I’m like no, she does and he say’s you must be confused... and it turned out I was!’

opened her world to some fairly impressive abundance. ‘I’ve had an offer from a literary agent who contacted me and wants to represent me writing a book about Me and my Dad. People have already started joking about casting, but I haven’t even written the story yet!’

We are really excited about it.’ Is it the fact that a bunch of Brizzy kids will be seeing snow? ‘I first saw snow when I was 8, but Alana didn’t see snow until we were in Canada last year.’ So, did she weep? ‘She wept when John hit her with a snowball – that’s how it always ends for the Grates, it’s going to end in tears.

it all it’s cracked up to be, or was it just, well, cracked?? ‘The Viper Room was surgery. It was like everything good had been snorted out in the late 80’s and it was so sterile and everyone who worked there were such bitches. I couldn’t even move my mikestand and I was yelled at by the stage manager and I said who are you and he said the stage manager and I said can I move the mikestand? And he said No!’

■ DIAMONDS

ARE FOREVER Twelve Tone Diamonds are a multi-faceted harmonic adventure: raucous and celebratory, haunting and dreamlike, fiercely rhythmic and effortlessly augmented. They deliver their uncompromisingly original compositions with telepathic spontaneity and sudden bursts of precision that seem to defy the apparently organic nature of their interaction. Their sound is utterly fresh, yet echoes back to the past with uncanny authenticity. Elements of Miles Davis’ electric period and Frank Zappa; bent compositional flair blends with modern rhythmic sensibilities to create a highly interactive lucid chaos that is part rock, part jazz, part film score. Twelve Tone Diamonds make even the most bizarre arrangements sound natural and even danceable. The name Twelve Tone Diamonds is inspired by the rhythmic language developed by legendary percussionist Greg Sheehan who created a way of inverting given rhythmic phrases in every possible permutation – called simply ‘diamonds’. Having been introduced to the Melbourne scene in 2002 with an impromptu Saturday night at the Cape Lounge Twelve Tone Diamonds have gone from strength to strength, fast becoming welcome guests at venues such as Bennetts Lane, Bar Open and the Evelyn to name but a few. They play the North Coast Jazz Festival next weekend.

■ BODY PERCUSSION

Mr Sheehan, the best body percussion you’ve ever seen! Greg Sheehan is the drummer’s drummer. He’s the man who’s inspired more beats than a beetroot farmer. With Greg you don’t need a drum to find your mojo, all you need is skin. Greg teaches a one day body percussion workshop where he teaches about rhythm through hand clapping and body slapping using the walk as the pulse. You’ll never be lonely again my friend, once you learn to play that body that you’ve been hiding sound glorious sound in -- Ewingsdale Hall on Saturday from 10am - 4pm. Enquiries, 6680 3053.

■ THE HARP IS A LONELY HUNTER

Jingjing Lu began learning the Chinese harp at the age of six in China. Soon after, she won first prize at the Zhe Jiang State Competition for Young Children and third prize for the National Youth Instrumental Competition. In 1993, she won second prize at the National Youth Competition for Chinese harp. In 1996, Jingjing entered a Performing Arts School majoring in Chinese harp with the Liu Qing as a second instrument. In the following year she represented the Zhe Jiang State performing arts group to go to Japan for performance and interviews. She won the Zhe Jiang State Instrumental Competition first prize in two consecutive years and received a New Artist prize from the State in 2001. Jingjing performed in the Young Virtuosi concert at the Tyalgum Festival of Classical Music in 2003 and 2004. In December of 2004, she gave a solo Chinese harp recital at the Tweed River Art Gallery. Jingjing began studying at the Queensland Conservatorium, Griffith University in 2002, majoring in flute. She finished her Bachelor of Music degree in 2004 and is currently enrolled in the Graduate Diploma of Music programme. But it is the harp that is really Jingjing’s first love.

Mick Hart is back in town. This Aria nominated artist has received significant Triple J airplay with his new album ‘No Compromise’. Mick toured this album throughout Australia and Europe. Largely written and inspired by a relocation period in Europe throughout 2003 (living in Paris and playing festivals and shows in France, Holland, Belgium, Germany and the UK), his album features 13 amazing new tracks superbly crafted and captured in their rawest form. Mick has an earthy, soulful and angelic voice submerged in an awesome mix of groove/roots/reggae/rock. 2005 has seen a whole new side to Mick Hart. The new project is Monkey Boy, a manic 2 piece. One grinding voice, one wailing guitar and one monstrous drum kit that combine to make monkey ruckus a genre exclusive to Monkey Boy. The Monkey sound is down and dirty with a strong 60s influence (think Black Keys, Kings of Leon and Hendrix). An urban jungle of sound for animal lovers worldwide. It’s Monkey Business with Mick and the crew on Saturday at the Hotel Great Northern.

■ I SEE RED

Scarlett Affection played at the Northern Backroom last Wednesday for their first Byron appearance since Bluesfest. This pause had been a deliberate segue from public performances in order to allow time to write some new material and rearrange favourite songs to suit their new format as a full band incorporating Eben McCrimmon on bass and Rob VanRaak on drums. Their next gig is at the Rails on Saturday and presents itself as an excellent opportunity for the local audience to offer their feedback on this latest progression and to have an influence on material selection for the upcoming album, which is currently in the pre-production phase. So come and be involved in the growth of this fantastic band led by two stunning sisters who are inevitably destined for superstardom.

They support Grey Boy at the Hotel Great Northern on Friday.

ARTS & EVENTS

BIG DAY OUT AT DURRUMBUL One of the most gorgeous aspects of living on the North Coast is the rich hill culture. This pertains to everything from art and music and organic farming and cafes to guest houses, and families. How many people had the pleasure of growing up in their hill community with the benefit of attending a community pre-school? Durrumbul PreSchool has been running on a shoestring for years now, and sadly it’s reached crisis point. If they don’t have their shortfall made up, then the pre-school will close. In an effort to raise money for this much needed service, they are holding The Big Day Out – Rumble at Durrumbul at Main Arm Road on Saturday from 11am until sunset. There promises to be auctions, raffles and a flea market, food, jumping castle, Spaghetti Circus, craft for the nippers and live music that includes The Sessionists (The Beach Hotel Wednesday night house band including Dave Sanders, Thierry Fossemal and Steve Russel), Some live jazz, The Wild Zinnias and an Irish session involving that local reprobate McElroy, possibly the Richmond Shire Pipe Band among others. A very cruisy accompaniment to some frenzied charitable spending.

EAST OF KRAKATOA In 1972 psycho-anthropologist and intrepid explorer Dr.Lawrence Blair along with brother Lorne embarked upon what would become a ten year odyssey through the Indonesian archipelago. Travelling with only the most rudimentary of equipment, and a video camera, the brothers were isolated for long periods amongst the tribes and traditions of the Indonesian islands. The outcome of the adventure is the amazing Ring of Fire series, which documents the incredible worlds, practises and beliefs that they encountered. At the Hotel Brunswick on Wednesday, June 8 one of these incredible documentaries will be shown as part of the Inspirasi Indonesian Arts Festival. East of Krakatoa charters the Blair brothers as they journey through Java, contemplating the inevitability of another Krakatoa, encountering shamans and tribes ruled by ocean spirits.

Greyboy is known for his hip hop, jazz and funk infused style. After his acclaimed new album ‘Soul Mosaic’ Greyboy has been in high demand but has found time to come and entertain his Byron fans. Soul Mosaic is a great album that covers a variety of ground. Are your live sets similar to your album or do you play specifically to a live audience? What can we look forward to in your DJ set?

Pretty lame all the way around, there are bright spots here and there, but otherwise the music has lost a lot of its edge, except for the few underground artists that still represent. Your music has been heard on a variety of mediums, beer ads, computer games and skateboard videos to name a few. Have you accepted all commercial offers? Is there a risk of taking on the wrong clients? Maybe if you’re already making

My sets represents the music that I am influenced by personally, it covers jazz to hip hop and everything in between. you can look forward to ‘funky’ to be the common thread in my DJ set. You won the DMC championship in 1988 and then became well known from your acid jazz sound in the 90’s. You have recently started a hip hop label and your latest album has a stronger hip hop presence than previous releases. What has been your musical journey, have you always been influenced by, and enjoyed jazz and hip hop? I am a hip hop DJ first and everything else I learned about because of hip hop, especially when sampling started. then I started to explore all the musical areas that I didnt know about......jazz, soul, funk, etc. What was the idea behind the Greyboy Allstars? I was trying to put together a group of studio musicians for my new record label ‘Greyboy Records’ and since I didn’t have any money to sign acts,etc. i had the idea to take 5 musicians that were leaders in their own right, and I would hand pick and make and ‘allstar’ group out of them, this way I could record albums with them as ‘the greyboy allstars’ or by all of them as solo artists with the rest of the band backing each session. How do you feel about the hip hop and scenes in America at the moment? What about internationally?

a load of money you could turn things down, but when youre underground, you take ALL you can get. Your collaborating with artists more so now than using samples. How does this effect your music making process? I acutally do as much sampling now as I used to, but it’s gotten much more intricate, so a lot of times you can’t tell its a sample. and I will always continue to explore ways to add live to electronic, but maintain a gritty sound, thats the catch. Any last words....... Come to my gig and you will have a REALLY good time. Greyboy plays at the Hotel Great Northern on Friday with Dave Dogg, Del Larkin and Rush Limbo.

PICK

ROBERT CONNOLLY In Byron last week on the final leg of the PR tour, Director Robert Connolly was understandably delighted with the critical and popular response to his new film, Three Dollars. Co-written with Elliot Perlman, from whose novel it is adapted, the screenplay was eighteen months in gestation – ‘we ping-ponged the script backwards and forwards to each other’ – and the result rewards the effort. Dealing with ‘a good man in a crisis,’ it is neither quirky in its depiction of the Australian male nor overt in its politics, though the critique of the prevailing morality is not too far below the surface. ‘Eddie is an ordinary hard-working guy with a mortgage and he has had the rug pulled from under him by Howard’s grinding socioeconomic regime,’ he says unequivocally, adding that because Eddie is Everyman we can more easily empathize with him. “Sometimes in all our lives it’s like you’re walking through a scene in a movie.� Connolly is gnomish, unassuming and smiles more readily than you might expect from a filmmaker who has been involved in some dark and dense cinema. This is his third major feature, following on from The Boys (1998), on which he was co-producer, and The Bank (2001), which he directed. On each of his films he has worked in collaboration with actor David Wenham, producer John Maynard, cinematographer Tristan Milani and production designer Luigi Pittorino. The retention of this ensemble, he believes, contributed greatly to the success of The Bank, which, in turn, kicked in when the thorny problem of funding Three Dollars needed to be confronted. It cost six million dollars to make and raising the money was just that little bit less problematic because of what came before it. Not that Connolly considers budget to be the guarantor of a quality product. Quite the opposite. ‘Too much money can stifle innovation and originality,’ he argues, citing Gus Van Sant’s chilling Elephant (2003) – ‘a much more interesting take on the Columbine tragedy than Michael Moore’s tabloid effort’ – as an example of the excellence that can be achieved with

minimal finances. Locally, and done on a shoestring, he praises Khoa Do’s The Finished People (2003) as ‘a wonderful, fresh and relevant Australian film. Khoa rang me and asked if he could help out on Three Dollars. I was so flattered that he did that,’ he says with genuine modesty. What The Finished People had, he insists, was an original idea and clearly thought out story about real people. ‘So much of what is supported by the major funding bodies in Australia is either cynical stereotyping – you know, the droll blokey bloke – or has subject matter given priority over story and character development. Backers are never looking to lose money, but those guys who made Saw (2004) couldn’t get it off the ground in Australia so they took it to America and brained it.’ It is a stumbling block for filmmakers that Connolly allows himself to become quite irate about. ‘To win grants, too many script submissions are contrived and have nothing interesting to say.’ The process can be counterproductive, encouraging what he sees as a ‘conservative methodology and lack of grand ambition.� Rejecting precious posturing, he freely admits that ‘I want Three Dollars to appeal to a broader audience than just an arthouse one. I am happy for people to react to it on an emotional level.’ As producer, Robert Connolly is currently involved in transferring Raymond Gaita’s much-loved memoir Romulus My Father to the screen. Its release will be keenly anticipated.

MARIA FULL OF GRACE

THREE DOLLARS

Maria Alvarez, 17, de-thorns roses in a packing factory in Colombia. Her life is going nowhere and is made worse when her no-hoper boyfriend makes her pregnant. Desperate for money, she travels to Bogota and agrees to act as a cocaine courier, flying to New York with three other ‘mules.’ Director Joshua Marston’s debut effort follows Maria, a modern girl from the old world, on her nerve-wracking journey. Spare in presentation and unrelenting in its progress, the story is sadly topical and riveting from go to whoa. As Maria, Catalina Sandino Moreno does not miss a beat and has the audience with her from the outset. This is a nonjudgemental depiction of how people become involved in drug trafficking as well as an uplifting portrayal of selfreliance and moral courage. A fantastic film, easily one of the year’s best. John Campbell

After being sacked and evicted from his office, Eddie (David Wenham) passes a dero in the street who is playing the Ode to Joy on his ukulele. It is a portent of the lesson that awaits him as he roams the streets, a stranger in a strange land. His life is recalled as a parable, determined by unforeseen turns of fate and revolving around his relationship with wife Tanya (Frances O’Connor) and childhood friend Amanda (Sarah Wynter). There is an echo of Frank Capra’s ‘It’s A Wonderful Life’ in the charting of Eddie’s descent and redemption, but this is a story about Australia and what we have become. The light that director Robert Connolly shines on our society in his fine film is uncompromising and discomfiting but, like Capra, he finds hope in the hearth and confidence in the resilience of the human spirit. John Campbell

May 31 celebrates the birthday of earth-first poet Walt Whitman: The earth does not argue, Is not pathetic, has no arrangements, Does not scream, haste, persuade, threaten, promise, Makes no discriminations, has no conceivable failures, Closes nothing, refuses nothing, shuts none out‌ an appropriate moment to direct this week’s Gemini-driven intelligence towards ecological concerns.

ARIES: Today’s birthday poet Walt Whitman described how the populace rise‌ against the neverending audacity of elected persons. If this is one of those weeks you have a big spit about stupid rules and overpaid incompetence, good on you. But do it well and make it count. TAURUS: Holy hell! What a confusion of invitations, decisions and choices! Admittedly, Gemini time does seem to seethe with infinite possibilities, but most of them eventually melt back into the atmosphere – just keep your eye on what might be workable ones this week. GEMINI: Best not make promises you haven’t a snowflake in hell’s chance of keeping this week. Or commitments you figure you could maybe wriggle out of. The people who take you seriously are likely to get very upset if you disappoint their expectations.

CANCER: Help others where you can this week, but don’t take the world’s worries on your shoulders. Give advice only when and as requested. And don’t always involve others in your plans; do something alone, just with yourself – your closest best friend.

LIBRA: This week’s salespeople are silver tongued, opportunistic and possibly not too scrupulous. They could see you coming, size you up and take you to the cleaners unless you keep those genetic Libran shopping instincts in peak working order.

LEO: This week jumps any barriers that may have been blocking the free play of your imagination. Your ideas are distinctive, presentation convincing and your passion impressive. The only impediment to success is that inbuilt drama hook; make it support rather than sabotage you.

SCORPIO: If you find yourself caught between what look like two totally opposing choices of action this week, your stars suggest doing both of them – or neither. Either in some way combining them, or else going for something completely different.

VIRGO: This busy, buzzy week alternates between being hilariously witty and irritatingly unreliable. But your Virgo skills shine as you whizz round organising diverse elements into a welloiled working whole, and others less together love you for it.

SAGITTARIUS: There’s no question Gemini power surges take their toll on the excitable Sagittarian nervous system. This week a methodical pace is mandatory for your sanity. Bumping into stuff, knocking things over or tripping up will be your cue that you’re moving too fast‌

CAPRICORN: As a Capricorn, you already know struggling with difficulties, even serious ones, isn’t a good look – it’s dull, grim, unattractive and zero fun. This week the most imaginative, lateral and entertaining approaches to problems will also be the ones that work. AQUARIUS: You’re in the public eye, also keenly eyeing the public – seeing and being seen this week. Checking out cutting edge trends. Researching and debating the latest state of the art styles and merchandise. Planning for the future – but keep bringing it back to the present. PISCES: While others are presently living in their heads, we all know Pisceans hang out in touchy-feely land. Which makes you the designated star sign to keep everyone else in touch with their emotional, erogenous and ethereal zones this week.

The Best Indian Restaurant went to the Orion Cafe Curry House, Byron Bay. For great breakfast head to Newrybar and the Harvest Cafe or the other local winner in the Breakfast category, Byron Fresh. Bangalow’s Urban Cafe was a winner in the Family Restaurant division.

$20 WONDERS – Diners accustomed to paying more than $100 for a three course meal will be pleased to learn a pair of chefs working to a budget of less than $20 in food costs have walked away with a top culinary award. Gerhard Spatz and Nathan Sherwood, chefs at the Ballina RSL, have been declared the gold medal winners in the 2005 Chefs Table Award held overnight at the Darling Harbour Convention Centre in Sydney. Despite food costs being restricted to a maximum of $20 per meal, the chef team managed to wow judges with an innovative three course menu which included crisp won ton of duck, loin of lamb and parfait of white chocolate and Malibu. All three major awards went to chefs working at registered clubs on the far north coast. The silver and bronze medals went to the Taree RSL and Golf Club and the Tweed Heads Bowls Club respectively. Head judge James Ballingall, who has worked for Hollywood stars such as John Travolta, and Arnold Schwarzenegger as well as Bill Gates and the Sultan of Brunei, said ‘Having gone into this competition a little unsure of what to expect, I was astounded by the quality of product and the calibre of chef within the club industry. I attribute their success to the fact that while metropolitan clubs have a wide client base that is easily accessible, the regional clubs rely heavily on their ability to draw customers from some distance away. They’re doing this with superior cuisine and outstanding service.’

Best Mexican Restaurant went to Byron Bay’s Coyotes Cantina and Pancho Villa in Lennox while Dominics in Brunswick Heads picked up a winners’ award in the Italian Restaurant division.

The fatted calf in the capital

Mullumbimby

Victoria Cosford A blend of ďŹ lial duty and the need for changed landscapes ďŹ nds me back in the home of my birth, my subtropical outďŹ t unsuitable for the sharp May evening which meets me. Canberra Airport has altered beyond recognition or certainly remembrance; Canberra the city has grown up and outward towards suburbs where once ourished wilderness. As usual my mother has killed the fatted calf for my visit – as usual, by the time I leave, I have turned into a fatted calf. There is a timelessness about families in the seamless way we resume from where we left off, in the batik cloth and matching napkins which dress the table and in the pre-dinner savouries by the ďŹ re. And especially in the meals. My mother is wheeling out my favourites, her classics, brandy glass waving expressively through the air by the stove where she both stirs some simmering substance and talks at me. There are concessions to modern life in the bowl of rocket but otherwise this could still be me several decades previously, spooning into creamy prawns remoulade in an avocado half, then addressing the Savoury Steak. This recipe was handed down to my mother by her mother, a simple casserole of cubed beef in a rich winey sauce sharp with vinegar, the ingredients still visible at the front of a battered cookbook in my grandmother’s loopy, elegant script. I had always liked the sauce but found the meat stringy and tough; here it is exactly the same and I am asking myself how a cook as otherwise excellent as my mother is could have been getting this so wrong for so long.

grown up and overdressed; I am constantly wistful for the endearing scrufďŹ ness of Byron cafĂŠs and their pulse of palpable leisure. In efforts to exorcise the overeating I have submitted to I set off on long windblown walks around Lake Burley GrifďŹ n, grimly charging past black swans who bob on the choppy grey waves, surrounded by architectural icons and the exquisite colours of autumn trees. I am counting the days until this holiday ends. And suddenly there is one day left, and my mother is asking me what I would like for my ďŹ nal breakfast. Shirred eggs or hotcakes? Is there any choice? My mother’s hotcakes are the best in the world: in dietary terms they are utterly beyond redemption, but the gym is a Virgin ight away and the damage, besides, is already done. She and I take our chairs in the little kitchen where a heater blows up warm air; the coffee percolator gurgles and drips, and out the window the back lawn glitters under a ďŹ ne layer of frost. There are three puffy hotcakes before me, their heat melting the golden chunk of butter I have added. I tip on hot maple syrup, then ďŹ ll my mouth with a forkful of this extraordinary sensation. The hotcakes are eggy and light and soaked now in butter a little salty and syrup so sweet. Perhaps, too, there is something Proustian in the sensation, and that I am devouring the pleasures of hundreds of hotcake breakfasts spiralling back in time. My mother has given me the recipe – it is one cup of self-raising our, one cup of milk soured with a little vinegar, and two eggs. I doubt, should I ever attempt to make these, they would taste as good.

Of course I say nothing unkind – although the following evening when she has added the leftovers to some vegetable soup and allowed it to simmer at length, long enough for the meat to fall apart, I am perhaps overly effusive in my praise.

The ‘Sand People’, so very different from Melbourne, ‘Sun and wind had rearranged the appearance of the Sand People, tootanned, freckled, scabbed and bleached them. With their darker skins, red eyes, raw noses and permanent deep cracks in their bottom lips, they looked nothing like Melbourne people.’ Robert Drewe was six when he and his family move from Melbourne to Perth (I am guessing around the mid 1950s). Drewe’s father was appointed State Manager of the Dunlop Rubber Company, a ďŹ ercely loyal ‘Dunlop Man’. Their house ďŹ lled with every imaginable Dunlop product of that era, from bottle openers and drink tray shaped like miniature tyres to the Bumpers (‘clumpy looking’ leisure shoes with rubber soles) Drewe received, to his dismay each Christmas.

ated with ‘juvenile delinquency’. His father simply said, ‘Dunlop doesn’t make desert boots.’ Drewe describes his boyhood with directness and good humour as he deals with his mother’s fears of ‘boiling brain’ (too much sun) and her insistence in not breathing stranger’s breath on the bus (polio), a few examples among many. The complexities and angst along with the allure of the opposite sex are compelling as Drewe reaches adolescence. His ďŹ rst trip to Rottnest Island, ‘where West Australians lost their virginity’, is hilarious as he describes his ďŹ rst kiss (she vomits mid kiss), and his early morning trip to the bakery where he discovers the baker and the onearmed girl who helped in the bakery both splayed on the table and covered in our. These sections of the memoir I found richly nostalgic – a view of an innocent sun baked and relaxed Perth. The overriding attitude: ‘locking your doors was ridiculous and showed an untrustworthy and inhospitable nature’. This safe sense of trust where doors were always open was shattered by a

killer in the suburbs of Perth. The world of cosy certainties vanishes as Drewe weaves and builds the story of Eric Cooke effortlessly through his story. Eric Cooke killed one of Drewe’s friends and was an employee at Dunlop, sometimes delivering goods to Drewe’s house. The horror of reading about Eric Cooke hits home in Drewe’s understatement. Cooke is a social outcast with a hideous speech impediment. He wants to shock those ‘Cottesloe girls’ whose tanned shoulders turn away from him and scorn him. The description of Cooke is chilling, violent and sad. A sensitive chapter about Eric Cooke’s wife and children is told with compassion and dignity. The fragility of the Shark

Net – be it the dichotomy between predator and victim, the demise of innocence, is heavy with metaphor. The Shark Net is chronicled with great candour. A deeply honest account of growing up in the midst of violence and tragedy. At the same time an absorbing and enjoyable read. Can’t wait to see him at the Byron Bay Writers Festival.

%\URQ 6KLUH &RXQFLO FHOHEUDWHV :RUOG (QYLURQPHQW 'D\ Biodiversity Conservation Strategy – guiding how we manage biodiversity in Byron Shire

Message from our Mayor

Dear Residents On World Environment Day we can all feel proud of the efforts made by Council and the community to manage, preserve and enhance our environment. It has been a long vision of the people of Byron Shire to protect our natural environment and we are fortunate to have signiÀcant areas managed as National Parks and Nature Reserves as well as Council managed land. Now our vision is to develop a comprehensive wildlife corridor system.

“The environmental signiÀcance of the shire is a major attraction for people wanting to become residents and also for visitors.” The importance of protecting the Shire’s signiÀcant natural attributes has seen the development of the Biodiversity Conservation Strategy to identify the environmental values and deÀne future actions for enhancement of these values. The Sustainable Agriculture Strategy addresses the need to retain farmland and support environmental management. Council has also addressed environmental management in all areas of Councils services and has seen signiÀcant results in the design of our sewerage treatment plants with reuse of efÁuent options including the wetland systems at West Byron. Sustainability is a priority for Byron Shire Council, to balance the needs of the present for a diverse natural and social environment while protecting and enhancing the quality of life for residents. The responsibility to preserve for the future is a major challenge. Byron Shire Council is successfully doing this with the delivery of signiÀcant environmental management strategies. On this World Environment Day I look forward to seeing more positive environmental outcomes for our Shire through the implementation of Council’s environmental strategies and encourage the support of the community in this goal.

Byron Shire’s Biodiversity Conservation Strategy (BSC) is key strategic document now publicly available to guide landowners and Council staff about what needs to be done to better manage the Shire’s biodiversity values. Byron Shire is part of one of the most biologically diverse regions of Australia and our Shire is known to support amongst the highest number of threatened species and endangered ecological communities in the State. Council’s Biodiversity Strategy was developed by Council and received over 200 public submissions following its public exhibition. The BSC recommends a range of actions that address a wide range of issues impacting on biodiversity such as the mapping of the shire’s vegetation. The BCS seeks to provide the necessary educational materials, land use planning decision tools and a range of incentives to achieve its objectives. Significantly the strategy highlights the threat to our biodiversity of weeds in this Shire and the need to undertake weed control. (Byron Shire has one of the highest densities of weeds anywhere in the nation due to land clearing). Many of our remaining habitats are still threatened by development, introduced animal and plant pests and pollution among other things. Our community has a responsibility to actively manage threats to our biodiversity and reverse species decline by protecting habitats, rehabilitating degraded habitats and linking fragmented habitats through the establishment of corridors. To implement the actions of the Biodiversity Strategy Council successfully applied for a 2% variation to the general rate. This money will enable Council to employ a Biodiversity Extension Officer and a team of bush regenerators, develop best practise guidelines for weed control and threatened species, update Shire-wide vegetation mapping, and purchase pest animal traps (eg cane toad and Indian Myna traps). Council will also be seeking external funding to enable more biodiversity actions to be implemented. The Biodiversity Conservation Strategy is available from Council in hard copy for $95.00, CD for $10 or can be downloaded from Council’s website www. byron.nsw.gov.au. Two copies of the Strategy are also available from each of Council’s Libraries at Mullumbimby, Byron Bay and Brunswick Heads.

The West Byron Wetlands – using nature’s design to treat sewage

Brunswick Estuary health set to improve with new Management Plan

The health of the Brunswick Estuary is likely to improve with plans for the development and implementation of a Management Plan. The plan aims to improve the water quality, ecological health and biodiversity of the estuary. Other outcomes include protecting and enhancing the riparian zone and improving the recreational amenity of the foreshores and waterways. Council have engaged consultant’s Patterson Britton and Partners to prepare the Plan that will build on the work already undertaken in the Estuary Processes Study. The Brunswick Estuary Management Committee is overseeing the development of the Plan. The community will be invited to have input into the Plan when a draft is prepared for public exhibition around September this year. Members of the community recently inspected the Brunswick estuary to assess its health and held a workshop to discuss issues affecting the Brunswick estuary with key natural resource management agencies. For more information contact Phyllis Jones at Council on 6626 7136

Recycling to improve in Byron Shire with new collection system

Improved recycling, less waste going to landfill and less expense to ratepayers are the benefits of Byron Regeneration work in Shire’s new waste and recycling collection system. Mullumbimby secured with Separate waste and recycling bins will replace the current one split bin containing waste and recycling. an Enviro Trust Grant This new recycling system is rated among the best performing recycling systems in NSW. Also, in a first for the North Coast, Byron Council will also offer residents a choice of three waste bin sizes as part of a new collection system in urban areas that encourages residents to recycle more, and produce less waste. Council’s decision to offer urban residents a choice of three different size waste bins recognises that Landcare members and the wider community are different households will produce different amounts able to continue their successful restoration of native of waste depending on their size and how much they vegetation in the Brunswick catchment after can recycle.

The innovative West Byron wetlands on Bayshore Drive Byron Bay are near completion. After years of planning these wetlands are successfully providing the final stage of treatment for the sewage received at the West Byron STP. The wetlands, designed in harmony with the local ecology, work to ‘polish’ the effluent by reducing the concentration of nutrients, suspended solids and faecal coliforms. The 20ha of constructed wetlands at West Byron, including seven wetland cells, provide an important part of the sewage treatment process as well as an important sanctuary for threatened and migratory bird species. This World Environment Day the West Byron Wetlands are celebrating the hatching and survival of the threatened bird species – the comb crested Jacana – two pairs raising two chicks each to fledgling stage. The Jacanas chicks enjoy the floating vegetation found in the wetlands. The Jacanas are amongst the 201 bird species that have been recorded at West Byron. The wetlands also provide habitat to a large variety of frog, bat and marsupial species. The success of the 24 ha melaleuca regeneration project is also dependent upon the treated sewage from these wetlands. The effluent works on restoring the native melaleuca wetland and on managing acid sulphate soil problems. In the future as part of the West Byron upgrade effluent will also be available for urban reuse with construction of a pipeline from the West Byron Treatment Plant through Byron to South Byron Treatment Plant. To celebrate World Environment Day 2005 you and your family/friends are invited on a guided walk of the award winning West Byron wetlands (Bayshore Drive). The walk starts at 10am Sunday June 5 and is followed by a bbq lunch. For more information please contact the Wetlands Environmental Officer Michael Bingham on 6685 7071.

Don’t Be a Tosser Campaign It is estimated that 7 billion butts are littered across Australia each year. Butts are the most commonly littered item and account for about 50% of litter. Along our roads cigarette butts are also a pollution problem. Results show that littered butts equate to more than 3 butts per 100metres. The Don’t Be a Tosser education project is a joint partnership between Byron and Ballina Shire Councils and is funded by the Butt Littering Trust. Both Councils will work together over the next few months, on a common problem – cigarette butt litter. The project will focus on two target areas within both Shires - Littering in the CBD areas and littering from vehicular traffic. Our streets and roads drain into the stormwater system. This system of pipes and drains ends up flushing any pollution into our creeks and rivers. The pollution is not filtered or treated - it just flows directly into the waterways. Byron’s Mayor Jan Barham said, “ It’s important to realise that littering cigarette butts can attract fines up to $200. Even dropping that butt from your car is an offence. Aside from the fact that butts have negative effects on habitats and the environment they can also pose a serious fire risk.” More Don’t Be A Tosser information is available on council’s web site at byron.nsw.gov.au and ballina. nsw.gov.au

News Extra

Rainforest research to help ecosystems under threat Research to the Rescue, a program activating vital research for Australia’s subtropical rainforests, was established in 2003 by local environment fund Rainforest Rescue. In the rainforests inland from Byron Bay a new species of rainforest tree was discovered in 2000 by Myocum resident Robert Kooyman. The Nightcap Oak

(Eidothea hardeniana) had eluded some of the country’s top botanists who had previously climbed within metres of it. Despite the fact that mature trees can reach 40 metres in height, they can be difficult to distinguish. Dating back to the ancient supercontinent of Gondwana, the discovery of this ‘living fossil’ has been compared to that of the Wollomi

Pine discovered just a few years prior. The Nightcap Oak’s incredibly primitive white flowers are made up of a small hermaphroditic flower surrounded by 6-10 males. Following the discovery, Robert Kooyman worked together with New South Wales Botanical Gardens research specialist Dr Peter Weston to confirm the new

species as belonging to the Eiothea genus of the Proteaceae family - the same family to which Australia’s much-loved Macadamias, Grevillias and Banksias belong. Classified as an endangered species, Rob Kooyman is now working to protect the tree. Preliminary pollination biology studies have involved Kooyman, Dr Weston and

Associate Professor Peter Bernhardt from St Louis University. Already, at least one insect species new to science has been discovered on the flowers. This work will complement the genetic and ecological studies and is critical given that only one mature population of 90 individual trees is thought to remain. Rainforest Rescue, a not

for profit organisation is supporting the Nightcap Oak research through its Research to the Rescue Program Fund. The Fund receives no government funding and relies solely on contributions from individuals and businesses. To find out more information on the research visit www.rainforestrescue.org.au or call 6629 1395.

Sports Roundup with Alex McAuley Aussies dominate at Cloudbreak

A win and a loss for local league teams

The Mullumbimby Giants look to be back on form with another good win over the weekend, this time against South Grafton at home on Saturday night. The home team led by 20-6 at half time, and were able to hang on despite a late charge from South Grafton for a 20-16 win. Coach Dave Latta is understandably delighted with the result, their second win on the trot after beating Ballina last weekend. ‘We’ve now beaten two of the strongest southern teams, Yadin Nicol (pictured) from WA who has made Byron Shire his second home was wiped out at Cloudso things are looking better break in the trials for the Globe WCT in Fiji last week.

Byron Bay didn’t fare so well in their game against Casino despite scoring the first points of the match. The first 20 minutes were evenly matched with the Devils putting together some good passages of play, one of which resulted in the try from Chris King. Unfortunately, however, too many handling errors and lapses in defence gave Casino a chance to get back Tweed Heads surfer Chelsea Georgeson has continued her top form coming second in the Roxy Jam into the game.

took the visitors to the break with an 18-6 lead which seemed to rattle the Devils. Despite having the breeze behind them in the second half, Byron Bay showed a lack of discipline early in the second half, turning over possession no less than five times in the first five minutes of the period and conceding a penalty. ‘We came out in the second half in a panic,’ said coach Arthur Sauverain. ‘Once we started to play catch up football, we were in trouble. We lacked composure and made too many mistakes, including having two tries disallowed for double movements. We know better than that.’ Sauverain was disap-

pointed with the performance, but singled out Matt Slatter y for his tireless defence and wingers Dwayne Cahill and Nick Bordern for their support at dummy half. ‘Eli Corbey showed great commitment, playing a full game for the under 18s and then stepping up to first grade for me,’ said Sauverain. ‘It would have been a tremendous coup for the club to have won in all three grades, but it wasn’t to be,’ he added. Reserve grade Byron Bay 29 d Casino 28; U18s Byron Bay 36 d Casino 16. Next week Byron Bay travel to Lower Clarence and Mullumbimby are also away to Casino.

Rams’ finishing continues to falter misses. Mitch put away the third goal to seal the match 3-0. Standouts on the day were Michael Vanery, Adam Goodhand, Eden Robinson, Paul Bird and Mitch. In premier division, the Rams once again dominated the game with keeper Kai Correll left languishing in goal, not being called upon to save a single shot throughout the match. However, the Rams’ dominance could not be converted into goals

despite the one way traffic, the final score a nil all draw. Despite Byron Bay outplaying all their rivals, they haven’t had a win for three weeks. This team has the potential to go the whole way and win the finals if they can learn to take their chances and improve their finishing. Outstanding players were John Bradbur y, Br uce Morhaus, Aaron RichterSteers and young Tom Rhul.

Sports Roundup with Alex McAuley Honda home from Tassie John Coleman is back from Ta r g a Ta s m a n i a a n d delighted with the performance of his Honda Integra in what he describes as a ‘gruelling race’. The Integra ďŹ nished first in its class and 58th overall out of over 250 entrants. ‘We entered the rally hoping to come back with a Targa trophy for completing all ďŹ fty stages of the race, so to win our class was an unexpected bonus. The conditions were dreadful, with rain on three of the ďŹ ve days and snow on the last day, so the Honda did really well to hold out. ‘There were about 57 cars withdrawn due to accidents, many of which were high

performance vehicles, so when you consider that the Integra is designed for regular road use, it proved itself to be in a class of its own. For example, the back brake pads that were on the car when I bought it have done 85 000 km, completed the race in the rain at speeds of 200km/ hr plus, and are still going strong. There were some pretty ash brake packages at the Targa that couldn’t stand up to the conditions, overheating and smoking, so the Honda did well,’ said Coleman. He is now back at work at The Fundamental Vitamin Store and is using his modified Integra to get about town.

Rep netballers’ big win

Brunswick-Byron representative netball players performed exceptionally at the annual Logan Carnival held over the weekend. The 17,15,14 and 13 year old players travelled over the border on Sunday to play in the biggest carnival prior to the Sydney/Newcastle championships. The 15 year old girls continued their winning form taking out their age group on the day, playing in division 1 with their usual flair. The 13 year olds (pictured) also had an extremely successful day competing in their first big carnival, winning their division undefeated.
