Byron’s legal brothel plans draw tart response Plans for Byron Bay’s first legal brothel have drawn opposition from both the community and police. A five page objection to the development application (DA) for a brothel in Wollongbar Street on the Arts and Industry Estate has been submitted by the Ewingsdale Progress Association. Last week Byron Bay Police sent Council a letter in support of the Association’s objection. Brothels are permitted with Council approval in industrial areas in Byron Shire’s current planning regulations. ‘The Byron Bay Arts and Industry Estate is in fact an area that by “de facto” has become a low cost hous-

ing area, with many people living above their industrial units,’ reads the Progress Association’s letter. ‘Further it is adjacent to one of Byron’s largest bedroom suburbs (Sunrise Estate), which is demographically an area with a larger number of young families than anywhere else in the Shire. Consequently there are child care facilities, bike paths and streets filled with children. ‘It is arguable that there will be some bleeding’ of clientele to this suburb as they leave and that children and teenagers, being a more vulnerable age group, would be put at greater risk.’

Buddha walks at Crystal

Claiming to have found the biggest hand-carved stone Buddha in Australia, Naren King from The Crystal Castle announced the opening this week of the new Buddha Walk after a year and a half in the making. Weighing in at 14 tonnes, the Blessing Buddha reaches almost four metres high and ‘floats’ in a pond at the Montecollum property. ‘Visitors are taken on a magical journey through landscaped gardens, with more statues and colourful crystals, including giant two tonne rose quartz rocks. We have tripled the

garden area and the whole space feels wonderful,’ said Naren. ‘It’s been a real family affair; my wife Sono has been the designer and in charge of all aesthetic aspects of the project, and even our six year old son Toby was involved in the design, locating our huge Ganesh statue in the middle of the welcoming circle.’ Pictured above are some of the many locals who have been involved in the project, including landscaper Keith O’Brien and his team, and Turiya, who created a glass mosaic of a lotus on the pond wall.

Inspector Owen King from Byron Bay Police says he is concerned that the brothel could affect the workload of local police by stretching resources into the industrial estate when 99% of current activity at night is in Byron Bay town centre. He said brothels normally attract an increase in the amount of traffic and incidence of ‘people hanging around’ in the neighbouring area. Asked if the approval of a brothel might prevent street prostitution in the town, Inspector King replied, ‘We have no history of prostitution in Byron Bay on the streets.’ The Ewingsdale Progress Association’s objections include the potential customer numbers generated by the three bedroom brothel, the proximity of brothels in Ballina and Tweed Heads, and concerns about the affect on the existing home based prostitution industry. ‘Byron Shire does have a prostitution industry, as evidenced by the number of advertisements in the local weekly and daily papers. In the first instance, these outworkers operate discreetly and clearly service whatever need there is within the Shire. Secondly, a large formal brothel could in fact erode their established trade and should be taken into account,’ says the Association which is calling for alternative sites to be considered. ‘As a minimum and essential criteria [sic], the site should be an isolated industrial one, which have a preponderance of dirty manufacturing industry. The Mullum or Billinudgel industrial areas may be more suitable based on this criteria alone.’ Councillors have so far not asked for the DA to be brought before them therefore the decision will probably be made by Byron Shire Council’s general manager Pamela Westing. Ms Westing says staff are currently waiting for additional information from the applicant, but expects a decision could be made in the next few weeks.

Police predicting safe NYE

Local police say they are looking forward to a safe night in Byron Bay on New Years Eve. ‘We’re hoping everybody will get into the spirit of the night’s theme of peace and environment in an effort to include more involvement from families and locals,’ said Police Inspector Owen King. An alcohol prohibition zone will be in force from the railway line to Kingsley Street including Clarkes and Main Beach. Anyone entering the area with opened or unopened alcohol will be asked to leave the area and if they refuse police say they will take action. ‘It is not about putting a dampener on the night, but about creating a safe environment and making

Stories of Cabbage Tree Island Catch a glimpse of life on Cabbage Tree Island, a small gum leaf shaped island in the middle of the Richmond River, which was founded as an Aboriginal community more than 100 years ago. People of the Reeds is a textile and paintings exhibition from the artists of Cabbage Tree Island showing at the Cape Byron Lighthouse Visitor Centre until February 5. Cabbage Tree Island is rich in stories from the Elders where all the artists have strong family bonds and many spring from one large extended family. Memories of growing up on the island have been cap-

tured in the painters work as they recount the stories told to them by Elders. Time has been spent developing their own style and colour sense unique in its expression, which is beautifully apparent in the work. A strong connection to Mother Earth and family ties weaves a thread through all of the work. The Bunjum Arts and Crafts group on the island has been going for more than 13 years and the artists have worked with a number of the talented textile and painting teachers from around the Northern Rivers area. Over those years they have mastered many textile media

including batik, silk screen and textile dyeing. One or more of the media are usually blended to make unique pieces that become textile art. A beautiful range of homewares from tablecloths to curtains, blinds and lamps have been produced by the women who work in the sewing centre. Some of the pieces are collaborative works with a mix of skills blending colours to tantalise the senses. Colours from their natural environment such as sugarcane, sky, earth and trees have been used to reect and create images that bring life into their work.

Southern Cross University researchers have started the complex task of analysing DNA samples, photographs and sightings information of close to 3000 humpback whales, collected during a ďŹ ve-month land and sea survey of the annual whale migration. The survey, the most extensive carried out by the SCU Whale Research Centre, will provide detailed information on the size of the humpback whale population and migration patterns. The ďŹ nal stage of the SCU Whale Research Centre survey, a 12-week study of the southern migration near Ballina, ended earlier this month. Coordinator of that stage, PhD candidate Dan Burns, said from August 16 to November 4, 1258 whales were sighted from land. He also identified about 225

whales by photographing their ukes and obtained 69 sloughed skin samples. Mr Burns said there were also other species of whales sighted during the survey including a dwarf minke whale, bryde’s whales and a mum and calf southern right whale. ‘Historically the southern right whales weren’t seen any further north than Sydney, but now we are seeing them once or twice a season.’ The data will be added to information collected during the northern migration in studies off Cape Byron, coordinated by Dave Paton, and in Hervey Bay, coordinated by Trish and Wally Franklin. Mr Burns said over the entire 22-week survey there were more than 3000 whale sightings and nearly 1000 photographic identifications.

‘It will take us until early next year to analyse the data, but it will give use an accurate abundance estimate for the humpback population in the southern hemisphere,’ Mr Burns said. ‘We have been seeing a general trend of more whales each year.’ The information will also provide detailed information on the migration and association patterns of the whales, including how long they spend in each location during their journey along Australia’s east coast. Mr Burns will be presenting preliminary results of the survey at the 16th Biennial Conference on the Biology of Marine Mammals in San Diego in December. He will join other researchers from the SCU Whale Research Centre attending the conference, which brings together the world’s leading marine mammal researchers.

TrafďŹ c concerns for local road at NOS Work started on a new service station on Shara Boulevarde at North Ocean Shores last week, 12 years after it ws given approval by Council. Chum Vidgen’s GreenďŹ elds Constructions company received approval for its DA for a service station and coach stop on the corner of Shara Boulevarde and PaciďŹ c Highway back in 1993. Kathy Norley from the South Golden Beach Progress Association and a community member on the RTA’s Community Liaison Group for the highway upgrade is concerned that the service station will encourage trucks and B-doubles to use the local access road past Billinudgel to Brunswick Heads. Ms Norley says that she and other members of the CLG fought hard to secure a separate road for local trafďŹ c and is concerned this will now be used by trucks to travel between the truck stop and service station. ‘All of the work the CLG has done to separate the local trafďŹ c from the trucks has been lost because the trucks will use the service station. Some of the CLG members are very upset having fought hard for the local road to separate trafďŹ c from the Bdoubles, but now the B-doubles will have access to the local road to access the petrol station. ‘We believe if the service station goes ahead there it will pull B-doubles out of the truck stop to access the service station and then exit along the local roads to the south over the Brunswick bridge or back to the Yelgun interchange to go north,’ said Ms Norley. Some local residents believed the approval had

lapsed, a situation which happens automatically when no work has been started within a ďŹ ve year period and therefore no service station would be built on what they are calling an unsuitable site. Mr Vidgen’s lawyers, Stacks, wrote to Council in October 2005 to argue that work had started on the development within the ďŹ ve year period, putting a case that surveying and engineering works had been carried

out. The following month Stacks asked for a conference with Council to ‘review the evidence’ adding that legal proceedings in the Land and Environment Court would be started if Council failed to respond. Despite listing the matter twice on Council’s heavy agendas, other issues more pressing in the Councillors’ minds prevented them tackling it before time was called and the matter fell to general manager Pamela Westing to

decide. Ms Westing told The Echo on Monday that based on the evidence available she had decided not to contest the matter in court. ‘It was approved many years ago and the issue was had the work commenced and whether the consent had lapsed. It went to Council twice but they didn’t deal with it and GreenďŹ elds had commenced litigation for damages for Council not issuing a building permit,’ said Ms Westing.

Council’s position on uoridation Byron Shire Council has been advised that the NSW Health Department in conjunction with the Northern Oral Health Network proposes to conduct a survey investigating public attitudes toward the uoridation of the public water supply in the Rous Water district. The majority of town water supply in Byron Shire comes from the Rous Water

Rocky Creek Dam. The exception is Mullumbimby which has its own water supply from Lavertys Gap Weir. The survey will be across some 500 randomly selected residents of the region and commenced on November 28. Mayor Jan Barham said, ‘Council considered the issue of uoridation of the public water supply in March 2005

and resolved that Council supports the current position of not uoridating the water supply and that Council advises Rous Water of this decision.�’ It is anticipated the survey will provide further information on public attitudes regarding this controversial issue.

A tribute to The Greatest

End of a Dreaming in Bangalow

Alex McAuley What is arguably the ashiest book yet to be published has been on display in Richmond-Tweed regional libraries for the last month and is heading our way. Local Muhammad Ali fans will have an opportunity to look at a display of his latest biography from December 14 to 20 at Mullumbimby Library, which is just as well as both editions of the book – the Collector’s and Champ’s – are extremely limited and cost $6,000 and $10,000 respectively, so it’s unlikely that anyone will be getting it for Christmas. Entitled GOAT (Greatest Of All Time): A Tribute to Muhammad Ali, it took four years to produce and is being touted as the most comprehensive biography of the three times world heavyweight boxing champion. And the book’’s a heavyweight too: comprising 800 pages it measures 50cm x 50cm and weighs a whopping 34kg. Compiled by international art publishers Taschen in collaboration with Ali, his lifelong friend and photographer Howard L Bingham and long-time fan Jeff Koons, the book cost about $12 million to produce.

Simone Roach The Blackfella’s Dreaming Art Gallery and Museum in Bangalow is heading for closure. It houses an impressive collection of highly signiďŹ cant Aboriginal cultural items. Although the owners would like to stay on, there just aren’t enough funds to keep things going and the museum is for sale. Gordon Syron, co-owner of the gallery and museum, is widely recognised as the father of contemporary Aboriginal Art. With 25 years painting experience up his sleeve, as a teacher he has inspired a new generation of Aboriginal artists to paint using oils instead of just acrylics, and to explore other artistic styles. His politically motivated and moving work ‘Judgement by his Peers’ shows clearly his views on the mainstream justice system for Aboriginal people – a white defendant being presided over by a white wig wearing Aboriginal jury. Not one to pull any punches, (although he did used to be a boxing champ), Gordon Syron is a man who tells it likes he sees it. His stance on issues such as deaths in custody and genocide is painted for all to see. And as someone who was the former president of the Aboriginal Deaths in Custody Committee, he knows what goes on behind the walls of the judicial system. His works also reect his love of the environment,

Well, according to Taschen the impact of the book is nothing short of spectacular. ‘We wanted to turn the logic of a conventional biography on its head,’ said Taschen. ‘In this book, we lead from the photography, but even through the detailed narrative captions, we draw the reader into the written story and the texts. The end result is a structured narrative that’s like the most richly detailed screenplay you can imagine.’ The Tintenbar community is having its ďŹ rst ever Carols by Candlelight on Sunday December 18 at the Tintenbar Oval.

particularly illustrated in his Black Fairies series. The desire toward reconciliation, of which he holds plenty of hope, is also a predominant theme. Originally set up with the intention to have Aboriginal people make a living out of their own culture and to try to prevent further misappropriation of it, the museum and gallery promote an incredibly diverse range of Indigenous artifacts – wood and rare bark carvings, sculptures, prints, photography, paintings and over 2,000 books on Indigenous Aboriginal culture, one of them from 1909 titled The Aborigine As A Human Being. Manager of the gallery Lyn Stark says,’You never know what you’ve got till you lose it. Overseas visitors often appreciate Aboriginal art more than the people who live here all the time. I believe Aboriginal people are invisible because the culture is not appreciated deeply. People often only see the surface of the problems that Aboriginal people display. They need to look behind – at the deep root causes of these problems, such as dispossession, loss of pride and culture and marginalisation of the people.’ An open exhibition and party will be held at the gallery premises from Christmas Eve afternoon and many local Bundjalung artists will be exhibiting. Gordon Syron will also be exhibiting his latest works and co-owner

and photographer Elaine Pelot-Syron will be exhibiting pictures of the Bangarra Dance Company. Everyone is welcome to step out and attend. As the sale of the gallery draws closer, Gordon and Elaine agree that they would prefer to see it ideally rehoused in a more visible area, perhaps near the PaciďŹ c Highway, and for the all of the works and artifacts to be bought by a philanthropist, They then would be given to the Bundjalung people to run as a museum to provide employment opportunities and to increase Aboriginal participation in the promotion and marketing of Aboriginal art. The museum sale price is $1 million and enquiries can be made through the gallery. When it comes to mainstream white Australia underestimating the importance of preserving and getting to know more about Aboriginal culture, so much can be changed through understanding. ‘If people could only see the beauty and compassion behind the Aboriginal way of life, they could benefit so much,’ says Lyn. ‘That’s when stepping out of your normal cultural boundary can open your mind to the wonder of other people’s perceptions.’ The gallery will close by the end of January, so if you haven’t had a chance to see it yet, there’s still time to visit 12 Station Street, Bangalow. Enquiries to 6687 1394.

Luke makes finals of writing contest Luke Chaplin, a Year 6 student at St Finbarr’s Primary School in Byron Bay, has just returned from Sydney where he represented NSW in the Nestlé Write Around Australia competition. Luke was one of just 28 finalists selected to represent his state and was flown to Sydney by Nestlé, with his mother Michelle, for the awards ceremony at Luna Park. Luke’s heartfelt and creative short story called ‘A Boy’s Best Fiend’ was one of more than 31,000 stories entered around Australia. Luke’s prize for being a NSW finalist was $500 worth of Australian children’s books and $500 of Australian children’s books for his school. The competition has been run in partnership with the State Library of NSW for 11 years and Luke’s story, along with the other finalists, will be archived at the Mitchell Library.

Luke’s teacher Donna Clark submitted stories from her Year 6 class earlier in the year, with two of the class reaching the zone semis in September. A workshop was held in Grafton for the zone winners, where author Jonothon Harlen mentored the group

to enter the NSW Zone finals. You can read Luke’s story at: www.nestle.com.au\writearound\winners\Pastwinners_index.asp. In other great news for St Finbarr’s, its Year 6 students have also scooped the pool in the regional Newspapers in

Education Awards. Ella Baglin and Sophie Robson won $1000 from Rous Water for their article ‘Become a Savvy Water Saver’, Isabelle Hawton won a digital camera for Best Photo and theYear 6 class the won major award: ‘Best Newspaper’. Donna Clark is again the class teacher.

Lennox residents welcome NYE scaledown The recent decision by Ballina Shire Council to scale down New Years Eve celebrations in Lennox Head and impose an alcohol prohibition for the town and its beaches has been welcomed by the community according to Brian Smith, president of the Lennox Residents Association. In past years, areas of Lennox Head have been declared ‘alcohol free’; this year that has been stepped up to ‘alcohol prohibited’. ‘Alcohol free’ gives police the power to issue warnings for consuming alcohol followed by a fine; ‘alcohol prohibited’ gives them the power to remove the alcohol from the offender on the spot. It is expected, however, that police will use common sense to differentiate between a drunken reveller and somebody taking a bottle of wine to a restaurant to consume with their dinner.

Furthermore, Council will not be offering free entertainment or activities this year, and much to Mr Smith’s surprise, there has been little or no outrage in response to this decision. ‘I expected that the proposed non-event would arouse some response from some community group who would say “we’ve got to do something”, but that hasn’t happened,’ said Mr Smith. ‘Things couldn’t go on the way they were; the cost of putting on entertainment and cleaning up afterwards was spiralling out of control. With the alcohol prohibition, police are confident they can control the excessive drinking.’ According to Mr Smith, Lennox Head and Byron Bay have earned unwelcome reputations as New Years Eve party towns among certain community groups, many of which come into the towns

with the intention of destroying them. ‘I’ve seen posters in bus shelters as far north as Noosa claiming “Lennox Head is the town to trash this New Years Eve”. We need to put a stop to this sort of nonsense,’ he said. Licensee of the Lennox Point Hotel Gavin Fensom is aware of problems in the town, but doesn’t think that the pub customers contribute to them. ‘The main problems occur both on New Years Eve and any other night after the pub shuts, and are usually caused by kids and other people who can’t get into the hotel,’ said Mr Fensom. ‘As far as our policy for New Years Eve goes, we are pre-selling all our tickets so most of the patrons will be Lennox residents. We are concerned about the number of people who may just turn up on the night who won’t be allowed

Youth urged to wise up to sex Byron Bay medical practice Holdsworth House is offering a Youth Clinic called Sex Wise where young people can seek free advice and treatment regarding sexual issues such as sexually transmitted infections in a non-judgmental environment. Last month clinical nurse Debra Hayhoe hosted an afternoon session with several young girls aged between 14 and 18 years old to discuss the needs of young people in relation to their emerging sexuality. ‘It is evident that chlamy-

dia and herpes exist among our young people. Some STIs can be asymptomatic and can be spread and have long lasting health consequences if left untreated,’ she said. ‘The clinic is more than an educational program, it’s a space where our teenagers can learn in a safe, wise and non-judgmental environment.’ Holdsworth House plans to conduct a follow-up session with local young men to discover their sexual problems and issues and say they will present a conference

early next year to address the topics raised. One concerning theme that has been raised repeatedly is the incidence of date rape in Byron Shire. ‘Sex Wise plans to explore why the peace-loving Byron culture has cultivated what appears to be a damaged sexual psyche,’ said Debra Hayhoe. To get involved with the Sex Wise Youth Clinic call Holdsworth House on 6680 7211. The service is free and youth need only bring in their Medicare number.

in, but unfortunately we have no control over that. We also close the bar and then give patrons half an hour to leave so they go out into the streets in dribs and drabs. There’s no mass exodus as such.’

Mary Lou Shrub is a street theatre activist who has recently been seen on the streets of Lismore and Byron Bay, attracting attention and fuelling debate on the terrorism laws passed last week. Her outďŹ t consists of clothing in American ag colours as well as a wig and hat, all patriotic to the colours of the USA. ‘When I found out Spotlight in Lismore only stocked American coloured material and not Australian, I thought, well, why not?’ Mary Lou told The Echo. ‘At ďŹ rst I was disappointed but now I fully embrace the USA ag, as we are obviously just like them, and want to be like them’. On a serious note, her concerns are highlighted by her heritage; she is of German descent and remembers her

Mullumbimby music lovers are protesting against the Chincogan Tavern’s decision to bring its weekly ‘Jam Night’ to an end. The Thursday night session, which allows young emerging musicians an opportunity to perform in public, has been a popular initiative and the young talent that has been making use of this venue is very disappointed that it will no longer be available. Terry Donnelly, Licensee of the Chini Tavern, explained that he, too, will be sorry to see the sessions come to an end. ‘Unfortunately, it is a management decision,’ said Mr Donnelly. ‘I’m aware that Mullumbimby needs live entertainment, and I’ve made a point of building up the Jam Night since I took over, however it’s not ďŹ nancially viable at the moment. I’ve asked management if there is any chance that we can keep it going, and we’re going to look at our options again after Christmas.’ One person who has a

particular interest in the Jam Night is Jerry, front man for Jerry and the Rollers, who got his band together as a result of one of the original Jam Nights about ďŹ ve years ago before the hotel was sold to its current owners. ‘I’ve been involved in jam nights for about ten years now and they’re the best night at the pub,’ said Jerry. ‘I reinstated the Chini Jam Night after picking Eddie Phillips up in a taxi and talking to him about it. ‘We’ve been booking our-

selves out to them for about half our normal fee to perform and supply our equipment to the other performers, so I was disappointed when they just cancelled without even talking to us about it. In fact, one of the bar staff told us, not the manager or licensee.’ As for the poor revenue from alcohol sales, Jerry explained that many people come from Billinudgel and Ocean Shores and drive home, so they’re not able to have more than one or two drinks.

‘If the pub’s courtesy bus would travel further aďŹ eld than just Mullumbimby, then they’d probably find people would relax and have a few more drinks,’ he said. Jerry is not convinced that the hotel will continue with the Jam Night tradition, having heard a number of rumours about plans to turn the performance area into a ‘shooters bar’ with DJs rather than a live venue. ‘This guy [Eddie Phillips] doesn’t want to spend money, he wants to make it,’ he said.

Kidz Club offers range of activities With so much recent concern over the lack of youth activities in the shire, Byron Bay’s Kidz Klub offers a great solution for 5-12 year olds looking for things to do. According to manager Trudi Fitzgerald, ‘We have a strong local following, with 50% of our business coming from locals, and many holiday makers return to treat their kids again.’

Kidz Klub offers activities that engage, educate and most of all provide a full day of fun and adventure. From ďŹ shing, caving, rock climbing, roller skating, tenpin bowling, boating, nature walks, farm visits and waterslides, the all day adventure tours also encompass art and craft activities, as well as a day at Seaworld, Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary and

there’s even yoga. The tours include all meals, an air conditioned bus with door to door pick up. The space is limited to 12 children per day, with two adult supervisors, and the programs vary from day to day. The coordinators are all fully experienced and trained child minders. Bookings are essential and can be made on 6680 8585.

Northern Rivers Plant Hire has been selected by Wollemi Pine International Pty Ltd to distribute the rare and ancient Wollemi Pine and is now taking advance orders for when the pines will be in stock from April 2006. The pine is available in three sizes: 150mm pot size (approx 40cm tall plant), a 200mm pot size (approx 60cm tall plant) and a 430mm pot size (approx 1.2m tall plant) and cost $55, $95 and $525 respectively. A recent auction of first generation trees by Sotheby’s was unprecedented with 100% of the 292 trees sold and over $1,000,000

raised ($3,425 average price). According to its promoters, the Wollemi Pine is easy to grow and low maintenance. It will adapt to a diverse range of climatic zones, thriving in full sun to semi-shaded outdoor positions. Ordering can be arranged by contacting Northern Rivers Plant Hire on 6684 7566. Anyone who orders a Wollemi Pine will receive an authentication/gift certiďŹ cate and a care booklet – it is proposed that the plants be delivered by April 1, 2006, in time for the national release. Royalties from the sale of

the Wollemi Pine will be invested in the conservation of the pine and other rare and threatened plant species. The Wollemi Pine has outlived the dinosaurs and survived 17 ice ages. Previously only known through fossil records, the Wollemi Pine was thought to be extinct until modern day explorer David Noble found it in the Wollemi National Park in 1994. Less than 100 trees exist in the wild today. The tree has become both a agship species for conservation and an Australian icon. See more information at www. wollemipine.com.

SDA Op Shop donates $23,000 to local groups Mullumbimby SDA Op Shop was proud to donate $23,000 to local volunteer organisations at its annual presentation dinner on Tuesday evening November 29. Members of the following groups: Amitayus, Animal Welfare League, Brunswick Surf Lifesaving Club, Brunswick Valley Rescue Squad, Main Arm and Mullumbimby BushďŹ re Brigade, Westpac Rescue Helicopter and Hope Haven Women’s Refuge were treated to a

vegetarian smorgasbord dinner and then presented with cheques by Op Shop manager Kaye King. In her speech she said, ‘It has been a great year. We have had fantastic support from the community through donation of goods and those coming in to get a bargain. We wish to take this opportunity to give them a huge thank you. ‘We started off small eight years ago with two goals – ďŹ rstly to provide good quality budget clothing and

other needs for the disadvantaged in this community, and secondly to be able to support other volunteer organisations to do their jobs better, most of them are involved in saving lives and where would we be without them? ‘We believe we are achieving these goals and each year we are able to contribute more. ‘Praise God, he blesses us so abundantly. It is so exciting to be able to pass the blessings on to others.’

Comment

Always the smirking acolyte Vol 20 #30

December 13, 2005

Rule by contempt It was a momentous week in federal politics, with several major pieces of legislation rammed through the Senate and debate gagged so that the people we elected to represent us did not have the opportunity to do so. Is that democracy? Our letter writers are disturbed by the brave new world into which the federal government is leading us – see page 12. Among the legislation rushed through were the new anti-terrorism laws, changes to industrial relations (relations as in ‘bend over and cop it sweet’) laws, legislation to enable a nuclear waste dump in the NT, and bills on indigenous education and pharmaceutical benefits – each worth a week’s debate but Howard’s government has obviously decided debate is superfluous to the democratic process. During the passage of the anti-terrorism laws through both houses her majesty’s loyal opposition was chiefly missing in action, apart from the lone, brave voice of Harry Quick. This includes local Labor MP for Richmond Justine Elliot, whose main function seemed to be to provide a colourful jacket background to Bomber Beazley mouthing platitudes. With Charles Blunt, Neville Newell, Larry Anthony and now Justine Elliot we have had decades of political party yes persons representing our electorate – when will we get someone who can stand on his or her own two feet? Australians are now potential victims of terrorism in their own laws passed by their own representatives. Australians have not been well protected overseas and now are not well protected at home. You can now be detained in jail for two weeks without charge. Kiss the presumption of innocence goodbye. The Echo has an obvious interest in the lack of clarity in the sedition laws which can affect journalists, commentators, artists and performers. John Howard’s grinning assurance that we all can still satirise him carries no weight when the laws provide insufficient protection. The fact that government operatives can seize documents provided by whistleblowers – and presumably the journalist’s tool of the trade, the computer – is a serious threat to freedom of the press. Once that bond of trust is broken with leakers of information – from local councils through to the military and the federal government – then there is so much more scope for corruption and contempt, and finally, tyranny. It was just over 50 years ago that Australian Bill Burns, publisher of the communist Tribune, was locked up for sedition. His crime? Urging Australia not to commit itself to war in Korea. It has eerie resonances with Australia’s folly in Iraq, with our troops likely to stay on further in order to protect Japanese troops. According to the Sydney Morning Herald, Senate debate on legislation on anti-terrorism, welfare, and voluntary student unionism totalled less than seven hours. Is that how much time your future is worth? Consider your basic human rights under siege. Amnesty International was set up to blow the whistle on such abuse. Join the campaign against the new laws at www.amnesty.org.au before you or someone you know becomes a political prisoner.

A

couple of years ago I happened to be present while Gough Whitlam was musing on the woes of the Labor leadership. One of their problems, the great man concluded, was that neither Kim Beazley nor Simon Crean had ever had to fight for the position; it had been handed to them on a plate by the caucus faction bosses. If the party had not disintegrated after the 1996 defeat and Beazley had had to fight it out with, say, Gareth Evans, Brian Howe and John Dawkins, he would have learned what a real election was like. As it was, he got the job without ever having been blooded by his peers. If he had not convinced them, the passionately involved, of his leadership credentials, what chance would he have with a far less interested electorate? It was a telling point, and although in the two years since then Beazley has actually fought – and lost – two genuine caucus elections, in the end the leadership was, once again, handed to him on a plate. The polls suggest that the general public still does not see him as a winner in his own right. But if this melancholy judgement applies to the now bloody but still unbowed Beazley, where does it leave the perennial acolyte Peter Costello? Costello has now made it clear that not only does he expect to be passed his party’s leadership – indeed, the country’s prime ministry – without so much as having to issue a challenge, but that he believes this should happen against the clear wishes of the majority of his party, and of the electorate.

Paul Keating, after a much briefer period in waiting, thought the same, but at least when he was summarily rejected by Bob Hawke, Keating had the ticker to set up a contest. Costello last week declared shamelessly that he would maintain his traditional role as Howard’s uncomplaining whoopee cushion for as long as the prime minister found him comfortable to sit on. A few of his remaining followers left the phone box that doubles as their meeting hall to assure the few

tion by dropping an anvil on the prime minister’s head. But it isn’t very likely. The reality remains that Howard still wants the job (after all, it is the only one he has ever wanted, and he’s a bit old to retrain) and he is prepared to fight for it if he has to. And if he doesn’t, well. he still wants the job. Costello has had his chances over the years to demonstrate that he does too: a challenge, even an unsuccessful one, would have proved to his colleagues that he wasn’t just a smirk-

Costello last week declared shamelessly that he would maintain his traditional role as Howard’s uncomplaining whoopee cushion… by Mungo MacCallum remaining journalists who listen to them that Costello hadn’t given up, really truly; the microscopic organ that plays the role of his heart was still in it and what appeared to be an abject capitulation was actually a well-planned strategy for victory. By selflessly putting the welfare of the party ahead of his own ambition, he had actually enhanced his leadership credentials. It was even suggested that now Costello had formally denied the prospect of a challenge, Howard would be more likely to gracefully vacate the Lodge (or rather Kirribilli House) and Costello’s holy grail of the orderly transition could finally become reality before the end of next year. Well, it could, just as a high flying eagle could resolve the situa-

ing face, that behind the silver-spoon image there was a political fighter prepared to get in and mix it. As it is he has shown that no matter what happens, he is content to be a follower, a passenger. How self-sacrificing, some of his more charitable colleagues are probably thinking, what a nice guy. And we, and they, all know where nice guys finish.

I

t was entirely appropriate that the final act of the parliamentary year should be the passage of the Voluntary Student Union bill: a piece of legislation conceived in misguided ideology and pursued with vindictiveness and spite. VSU will not be as devastating as the Industrial Relations legislation, nor as cruel

as the Welfare to Work provisions, nor as dangerous as the National Security powers, nor as stupid as the full sale of Telstra. But in its own way it will do as much to diminish the quality of Australian life as any of John Howard’s other megalomaniac schemes. For more than 150 years, and drawing on a tradition that dates back centuries before that, Australian universities have been far more than degree factories. They have been centres of cultural and sporting excellence which gave the young opportunities to for learning and experience well outside the boundaries of their formal courses. They have been places for the development of new ideas and techniques, havens in which the best of our youth can discover and indulge their range of talents and grow up to know themselves. They have nurtured breadth of vision and generosity of spirit. Now, by Act of Parliament, all this is ended. Howard and his ministers have ensured that the graduates of the future will be narrow, selfish, grey careerists – men and women very like themselves. Of all the government’s deliberate acts of dumbingdown Australia, this is arguable the most heinous. It will lead, inevitably, to an even more insular and mean-minded country, a place where incidents like the race-riots of the weekend (riots which still, at the time of writing, have not been condemned by any federal minister) become the norm rather than the exception. John Howard’s Australia.

New parties What are the fault lines that divide political parties internally and one from another? What kind of realignment will improve the awed system we currently enjoy? Are the compromises in an adversarial system worth it? Would it not be better if the two parties vying for the space between the white lines split asunder and the lefts and the rights of each joined with their allies of the other party to form new parties with names like ‘Hairychested, it’s a jungle out there Party’ and ‘There’s enough for all if we were a little more civilised Party’. Then each side could concentrate on its message instead of pissing-off the whole electorate with a boring, farcical side-show. We can’t blame the politicians (or the voters) for their embarrassing and, might I say, terrifying performances. The system we have casts this kind of person for the role – and writes their scripts.

Fishers take the bait on marine park issue Q Richard Jones in his recent letter (Echo, December 6) slammed the fishers for being uneducated regarding the beneďŹ ts of marine parks and sanctuary zones. Richard, I just don’t think this is the case. I, and many others, have taken the time to track down exhaustive amounts of data on the issue so we could respond to the claims being presented by the MPA. Byron Bay ďŹ shers are not stating no marine parks should ever be created, they are saying this one has been poorly laid out. Richard, you refer to ďŹ shers benefiting from larger takes when ďŹ shing spilloff zones near sanctuary zones. Would you kindly look at the designated sanctuary zones and point out where in the Byron Bay Marine Park these spill off zones exist? There is virtually no reef ďŹ shing (ie places for boaties) allowed in the Bay, all the reefs have been declared sanctuary zones. There is one reef within the Bay where surface ďŹ shing only is allowed, and some seasonable ďŹ shing is allowed North of Julian Rocks. There are no spilloff zones in this park for boaties. You can present as much science

as you want about beneďŹ ts to ďŹ shers from ďŹ shing spilloff zones near sanctuary zones, but it means nothing if you don’t actually allow ďŹ shing in any spilloff zones! My fear remains that, as nothing has been left for the boaties, future marine parks planned for around Australia are now under threat. Fishing lobby groups around Australia will use the Byron Bay Marine Park as a model to show that community consultation is a farce. The claims of beneďŹ ts from ďŹ shing spilloff zones will be shown to be a ruse to get new parks created but when the park boundaries are set up the creation of spilloff ďŹ shing zones will not happen. Richard McLachlan

Byron Bay Q Richard Jones ex politician is now educating us on ďŹ shing and ďŹ sh, and how they think! He tells us that the ďŹ sh in the ocean now know where the marine park boundary zones are and they know exactly where they should be. (Next Richard Jones will be telling us that the Marine Park Authority has sent all those fish to ‘navigation school’ and

issued them with GPSs, watches and calendars so they know exactly where all the special zones are in the Marine Park, and when they can go there.) He tells us that the bigger and stronger ďŹ sh stay in the sanctuary zones and the babies they breed go over into the other areas, where they can be ‘caught’ and that the spillover effect produces far more ďŹ sh. Also that studies have shown ďŹ sh actually realise there are areas where they are safe and stay within those zone boundaries. Well, what a lot of cod’s wallop, I have never heard so much crap in my life. The facts are that most ďŹ sh live on and around reef systems and other pelagic ďŹ sh visit those reefs to feed, and now the MPA will lock up all of the only major reef systems in this area as sanctuary zones, leaving nowhere for recreational ďŹ shers to ďŹ sh and leaving the rest of the reeess marine park to be destructively trawled by the unbelievable continued existence of trawlers. Next he goes on to tell us that there’s the matter of increased revenues from tourists wanting to see this new abundant ‘undersea

wonderland’! So do you mean let’s turn this marine park into Byron Bay Reef/ Sea World, aren’t the dive shops, etc, already doing just that? How two faced can you get, when the MPA and council have now limited those dive operators, whale watching, sightseeing etc. Stick to your functions and ribbon cutting, Richard Jones ex politician who I have never seen wet a line, and let the recreational ďŹ shers just ďŹ sh. For many years they have protected the areas they have ďŹ shed by self education, self imposed bag limits, and respect for the areas they love and cherish. Admittedly there are some who over ďŹ sh, or do the wrong thing, but then it’s a rare event to see Fisheries ofďŹ cers in this area and always

More on trolleys The seasonal migration of trolleys continues (letter from Paul O’Brien) and so apparently does the migration of letters to The Echo over this vexing issue. It would interest readers to know that I made a little pilgrimage myself to Woolworths several months ago to discuss travelling trolleys with Mr Leon Nichols, the then manager of Woolworths. Mr Nichols said that he receives complaints from locals all the time, and that there was nothing that Woolworths could do about it. When pressed further with the many solutions that are available (from trolleys which require a coin deposit to trolleys with wheels which lock a certain distance from the centre, or simply giving someone a job to help the elderly, disabled etc to load their shopping while keeping an eye out for trolley-jackers) it became apparent that while there were things that Mr Nichols could do about it, there was nothing that he wished to do about it. All this from a senior representative of a company

Cry for help We who live in Bayside, Brunswick Heads, have had enough, and the three children involved have had way too much. For many years the neighbours of a local known woman have heard and endured on a daily basis the hateful energy radiating from the massive violent arguments this woman has with her children. We have heard her often yell at the top of her voice. Terrible violence is often threatened to get her way (though we don’t know if she follows through always), and we have heard her erupt over normal things that every child does that don’t deserve any malice. The children cry and scream and plead. I’ve reported the case to DOCS, but nothing has been done and I feel nothing will ever be done because DOCS has

more serious cases to worry about, and is under-funded. Will someone or some organisation step up and help the helpless? Name and address withheld

Heavy traffic To the idiot in the white Camry sedan who came within half an inch of wiping me out on Federal Hill last Wednesday morning (and many others), I pose a question. If there was a slowmoving tractor up ahead, on the approach to a blind right hand bend, you would slow down, wait, and check the road ahead was clear before overtaking, wouldn’t you? Wouldn’t you?! What is it about me on my bike that induces this insanity? That school bus coming the other way shouldn’t have been such a surprise to you. Please everybody slow down on our dangerous rural roads. Bear in mind that cyclists often wobble when they are struggling against gravity and they are very, very vulnerable. We are all taught when learning to drive that a cyclist needs to be given as much space as any other vehicle, if not more. I have a right to be a commuter who isn’t a polluter, and to do so in safety. For the sake of balance I’d also like to thank the major-

Debate needed Could I suggest to the warring wordsmiths Bob Ellis

The beach is a bitch when the dogs invade Once upon a time I used to enjoy a leisurely dip at the beach. That was before the invasion of the dogs. I frequent the beach most days and every day I observe at least one dog (six today) on the prohibited beach at South Golden Beach south of Gloria Street. It seems that every day there are more uncontrolled dogs on the dog-free beaches at New Brighton and South Golden Beach and also at Marshall’s Creek. Dog owners should be grateful that Byron Shire Council has designated more leash-free dog exercise areas in the Shire than any other local council in NSW. Not content with these designated zones there are certain dog owners who insist on ignoring all signage at the

"

beginning of the beach tracks stating that ‘Dogs are Prohibited’. These owners appear to be a mixture of locals and tourists, many of whom walk to the beach with their dog/dogs unleashed and instead of walking a further 50 metres or so to the leashfree zones which commence north of Gloria Street in South Golden Beach and south of The Strand in New Brighton they wander onto the beach which more often than not results in enforced interaction with residents and tourists who are attempting to enjoy a dog-free beach experience. These people act as though they are above the law and when diplomatically approached are often very aggressive. There is only one stretch

of beach between South Golden Beach and New Brighton where walkers can exercise without being confronted by dogs. The South Golden Beach/New Brighton coastal strip is classified as environmentally sensitive due to the presence of many threatened species. Within this area are nesting sites for green and loggerhead turtles and also roosting sites for many birds such as little terns and sooty oyster-catchers, all of which are threatened species. Dogs running amok in this environment are not conducive to protecting our wildlife. It seems that an attitude prevails within the dog-owning community that dogs deserve a higher priority in accessing the Shire’s beaches than the native wildlife and

non-dog owners. It feels as though we are being squeezed out. There is a large dog population in the north of the Shire and I believe that more policing is required. An infringement notice may be the only thing to deter these irresponsible people as they appear to have no respect for the environment, the community’s rights or Council regulations. Although these irresponsible people are a highly visible minority it is unfortunate that they give dog owners, in general, a bad reputation. I do acknowledge that most dog owners are responsible and respectful. If you are sick and tired of dogs invading your space, hassling you and your family, running through the dunes, defecating and generally

and Julie Nathan a fundraising effort over matters Jewish-Arab? That is, a public debate re the most remarkable interview on Bay FM last May of Mr Vic Ahaladeff, the secretary of Australia’s largest Jewish organisation. Of all things it was an interview on traveller’s tales. During my 35 years as a working journalist I’d never heard anything like Mr Alahadeff ’s 20 minute interview. It seemed to be edited to make it politically correct. It wasn’t. I passed on a copy to well-known Arabphile Frank Khoury for remark and to distribute to interested parties. My suggestion is for Ms Nathan to invite Mr Alahadeff (into a side of three each) to debate say an old colleague like John Pilger on the content of Mr Alahadeff’s amazing historical interpretation of wars and history. A replay of the Bay FM tape is essential. As well someone from Friends of the Earth might like to engage over Israel’s allegedly enormous stockpile of nuclear arms and its continued non-compliance to United Nations orders. I wish to continue the wonderful work of Kat Aigner and Greg Young (Eardrum) whose film careers started here as activists at the Women’s Lake,

Letters Byron Bay under Lorraine Mafi-Williams’ direction. Their Australian Atomic Confessions is currently shortlisted in Dublin for Ireland’s best documentary, and the Australian government has funded their attendance. I wish to put together a book and ďŹ lm on the teachings of the late Lorraine whose international repute is well-known. A fundraiser would help greatly as we’re all broke. Lorraine’s prophesies re the division of Black and Green outlook on the environment has sadly come true and is part of the ongoing Aboriginal genocide. Rather than complain to ‘politically correct’ government bodies such as the Broadcasting Tribunal and possibly endanger Bay FM licensing, over the Jewish Board of Deputies spokesman, I am taking Lorraine’s teaching to ďŹ nd a more positive outcome. As she often

pointed out, especially over terrible broadcasts about her on local radio, ‘Noone has a monopolisation on genocide – nor is it an industry – but a matter of universal shame’. Can Bob and Julie help bring Black, Green and all other interests back to the universal spirit of loving the planet and praising the earth? Bobbi Corroboree

The real villain Re ‘I scream, we scream’ (Letters, December 6). While I empathise with the writer’s angst regarding the globalisation of Street’s, an Australian icon, consider the alternatives. Peter’s, the main competitor, and aggressively marketed in major supermarkets, is owned by Nestle. Nestle owns many Australian companies and is a major

contributing factor in the disease and death of infants and children in developing countries. This is due to Nestle’s unethical and immoral marketing of infant milk formula in developing countries, despite World Health Organisation recommendations that women breastfeed their babies for two years to prevent diarrhoeal diseases caused by incorrect formula preparation and the inability to access clean water. My family made a stand many years ago and banned Nestle products from our home. Liz McCall

Dream on Some are moved by war, some by marine parks, others by highway realignments. But I have been moved by the stunning image on the cover of The Echo last week, of local (I hope) artist Alex

Hudson. Alex would have to be the sexiest, foxiest, sultriest looking woman in the Shire, and has kept me in a semi dream-like state this week. I have made several attempts to get past page 1 but without success, so I cannot comment on any other stories. Sorry. Surely it would be worthwhile updating readers on Alex’s artistic pursuits on a regular basis. Nick Stephens

Refugee scheme To rescue refugees from areas of conicts is commendable. However one wonders about the merits of such a scheme when witnessing its practicalities. My residential rental property was leased to African refugees, parents and two young children. The Migrant Resource Centre assured me that they would be looked after and would

be provided guidance in their new country. They were not. Two months after they left without notice. The Christian organisation in charge of helping them invoked domestic violence as the reason. Subsequently I found out that four refugees were using my address for unemployment benefits and rental assistance. All furniture and appliances were provided to the refugees. Rental bond is also paid for by public funds. Refugees realise quickly that under the present Australian welfare system, families make more money by being separated than under the same roof. I am still owed money for rent arrears and damages to property. However the refugees have been relocated all expenses paid. It is even more ironic to

witness such generous assistance when some years ago I was unable to ďŹ nd a place to rent because I was deemed not earning enough: obviously different rules apply for employed Australian citizens. Such a refugees’ scheme is a ďŹ asco. Isolation and unemployment are a recipe for disaster. It does not make sense especially in the view that a proposal to allow Pacific Islanders to work in Australia as seasonal workers has been rejected by the federal government. PaciďŹ c Islanders would be far better candidates than African refugees. It would be also a great way to share the Australian wealth in our Pacific region. There is a strong demand for unskilled labour in country Australia. Instead we import unskilled unemployed/unemployable continued overleaf

Seeing dark days ahead for Australia Q On Christmas Day or rather Barnaby Joyce Day I will be holding one minute of silence for democracy, the system that used to govern Australia. I will take that minute because democracy died when debate was gagged in the Senate this week. I am one of the many millions of Australian citizens who did not vote for Howard and his policies during the last election. As a law abiding, tax paying voter I have a right to have my opinions put forward by the representative I elected to parliament as much as any Coalition supporter. By gagging debate in the senate on significant new legislation being introduced (Lack of Work Choices, Creating Terrorism and Wheelchairs to Work Bills) Howard spat in the faces of millions of Australians. As public servants the government has a duty to listen to the individuals we chose to represent us in parliament. The Coalition may have the majority in both houses of parliament and may pass whatever legislation they like. We all knew that, but by denying elected senators the opportunity of debating these new laws it proves that we really do have a megalomaniac for a Prime Minister who is drunk on his own power.

Myocum Q John Howard has succeeded in his endeavours to expunge workers’ rights, he does this is the name of economism (where the worker is forced to work for the economy, not the economy for the worker) described by Doctor James Macken in his article published in The Catholic Weekly dated November 27, 2005, ‘although capitalist in character, it bears surprising similarities to communism’. The decline in workers’ rights commenced when the words ‘personnel manager’ were removed from the workplace and ‘human resources manager’ was substituted. Workers became commodities, they could be shunted around like pieces of office furniture and discarded as easily. The limitation of the Industrial Relations Commission’s power makes it impossible for it to award fair and just wages and these will be at the whim of employers. The laws were changed to enable employers to adjust the workers’ wages be to return the (recently imposed) interstate trucks and B doubles to the federally funded road designed for that purpose – the New England Highway – and to then fix the existing road by lowering speed limits, fixing cambers, or supplying cameras. Any other option creates a whole new road; the existing highway will still be here – and this fragile ecosystem will need to support not three but four north-south roads within seven to ten kilometres of the coast.

to increase their profits. The only way the worker may get justice is to be a large shareholder in various companies and that in the majority of cases is improbable. We will see the CEOs of many companies stuff their pockets with huge salaries while lower paid workers will be forced to receive charity to feed their families. At the next election do not forget who did this to our grandchildren and vote the members of parliament who supported this legislation out of office! Margaret Hains

East Ballina Q Another year of Parliamentary antics has ended, and unless Mungo is truly Labor-blind, even he has realised that we no longer have a viable Opposition that looks out for battlers’ employment rights, immigrants’ human rights, our rights not to store nuclear waste, and the rest of our civil rights. Yes Mungo, your beloved Labor Party voted to a man and woman, save for brave Tassie Harry Quick, to allow warrantless detentions for up to three weeks and execution of warrants well outside the usual and reasonable hours long restricted by common law and statute. If anyone reading this still considers that Kim Bamboozle would do improve for the existing residents along the highway unless the B doubles are removed, because they will have yet another and it seems, hardly understood, M class freeway, approximately 250 metres wide, roaring through the valley just east of them. And the sound will travel with the constant easterly and northerly winds straight up onto the ridge. However, if the B doubles were to be forced from this road, the existing highway would return to a bearable road, which it was for many years, with most of the traffic and local trucks traveling in the daytime, and with as least impact on close housing as possible. If the issues regarding this road are not prioritised, we will have no chance against the RTA. Get the interstate trucks off the highway now. I don’t want the highway in my backyard, but I don’t want it in my neighbour’s either. Without this clear objective that’s the position we are taking – put it in someone else’s yard, not mine – we are being as short sighted as the politicians we are fighting. They need long-term views for interstate freight.

us better than little Johnny, then in those immortal words, Please Explain. The real shame at this point in history is that several years ago agents of a certain foreign government torpedoed the Democrats and ousted Natasha from leadership, completely marginalising the party that once bragged it would ‘Keep the Bastards Honest’. It is equally discouraging that, aside from Senators Brown and Nettles, and a few local lights, the Greens are generally inexperienced, uneducated, and a bit fuzzy on effective politics, positive strategies, and legal knowledge to fight the limited battles that we can to stave off the inevitable. If we are to prevent another Howard, Abbott and Costello debacle, assuming we even have another election, then it is imperative that Greens quit their dialectical disputes, and clean up their acts both inwardly and outwardly, so that Green tenets can be successfully sold to disaffected Labor voters and battlers concerned about the current trend towards state corporatism and, yes, totalitarianism. She’s not right any more, mate, and it’s time to take our stand! Ronald Wolff

Uki They need to be forced to consider the obvious rail options. They need to hear all the people from the whole east coast, not just here but all up and down the coast voicing the same thing. Terania Creek National Park exists today because people fought against seemingly insurmountable odds. The Franklin Dam was stopped for the same reasons. The united strength of people power. Please let’s put our differences aside and fight this clearly with one voice. Gabrielle O’Shannessy

Articles Eden triumphs again

Durrumbul school celebrates diversity

Eden at Byron has again been judged NSW Garden Centre of the Year by the Nursery and Garden Industry Association of NSW and ACT. Winning awards is becoming a habit for this small garden centre located in Bangalow Road, Byron Bay. It has been judged Best Small Garden

Recently Durrumbul Public School held a day to celebrate the diversity of cultural backgrounds at the school. As the motto for Durrumbul is, Treated as an individual, respected as an equal, it seemed relevant that the children had the chance to learn more about each other and the cultures from which they come. The Durrumbul students also welcomed the children from Durrumbul Preschool to join the celebrations. Initially children researched their family trees and the origins of their ancestors before the older children completed a project about the culture/ country of their choice. All cultures listed in the family tree were pinpointed on a world map. The day incorporated a variety of activities provided by parents on a country or culture that was of importance to them.

Centre in NSW no less than four times in the last two years. The judges this year were particularly impressed with the range and quality of the plants and garden accessories, the relaxing ambience, and the dedicated team. The garden centre is open seven days 9am-5pm.

Some parents chose to share a culture that was not their heritage but had a strong influence on their child. Groups of six students

travelled to the different activities with a passport. A large banquet with international food was shared with all the parents and children before the children

began a second trip around six new cultures. The students’ response to the day was outstanding and another day will be held in 2006!

Benefit raises over $5,500 for earthquake victims Durrumbul Hall rocked on Friday December 2 when the Asia Earthquake Benefit Concert unleashed the full force of its artistic and creative maelstrom. From Indian and middleeastern fusion to locally

grown hip hop, from experimental folk to soulful jazz, from pulsating Afro-Cuban to full-on funk – with bellydancers, firetwirlers and lashings of comedy thrown in – the Quake Concert was a moveable feast. ‘It was group energy at its manifest best,’ said one of the volunteers. ‘It was great to see people of all ages partying together for a good cause,’ said Bev, the initiator of this project. ‘The generosity of local residents was once again displayed in their response to a world disaster.’ The organisers would like to thank the more than 400 patrons who showed up despite the stormy weather, and all the artists, volunteers and sponsors who together managed to raise over $5,500 for CARE Australia’s Earthquake Fund. The project was supported by ACE Byron Claes Pierce, Colleen de Winton and Dave Jobst at the earthquake Shire. benefit opening ceremony. Photo Unmani C Burckhardt

Quota assists Mullum public school Members of Quota International of Brunswick Valley were recently entertained at morning tea by the staff of the Mullumbimby Public School in recognition of donations made to the school by the club. Previously a Soundfield Amplification System was presented to the school enabling all children to benefit from improved listening conditions in the classroom – especially children with a hearing loss due to a number of reasons such as the common cold to ‘glue ear’ which is caused by an infection inflammation of the middle

ear which can cause severe deafness. A further $1,000 was donated towards the cost of the shade sail erected over the assembly area and the club continues to support the Seasons for Growth program – a loss and grief education program, which focuses on understanding the effects of change, loss and grief and develops skills in communication, decision making and problem solving. At the morning tea a further cheque for $1,000 was presented to the school to purchase equipment for a

Learning Connection Program. On receiving the cheque a very excited Liz Smart and Cheryl Tyler said the daily program would be beneficial to all children but particularly children who have a neurological delay. It helps concentration, general learning and visual and audio skills. The four learning stations will include the use of mats, barrels, tunnels, wobble boards and various growth motor equipment. Liz and Cheryl will attend training in Brisbane for two days in January 2006 and will be sponsored by the school.

Articles Lesley Patterson looks at the implications of lifting Council’s sewerage moratorium

A new wave of Seachangers could be heading our way A

ustralians love the beach. Over the past two decades our love of sea, sand and a laidback lifestyle has seen thousands leave the city for the coast. Byron Bay has become synonymous with the Seachange experience and ranks ninth in a list of towns* experiencing the greatest population change over the past thirty years. Heading the list are the Sunshine Coast, Hervey Bay and the Tweed and Gold Coast, however, in percentage terms Byron’s growth outstripped that of Port Macquarie, Coffs Harbour and Cairns between 1976 and 2000. It is unlikely that the exodus to the coast will stop in the near future and indeed Byron Bay’s share of the growth could be set to increase. In 1997 the brakes were applied to the development juggernaut when both of the town’s sewage treatment plants reached bursting point. Construction of a larger plant with the ability to process a greater quantity of sewage is now complete and early next year Byron Shire Council will be able to accept development applications (DAs), something it has only be able to do in limited numbers for the past eight years. Council’s head of planning, Ray Darney, says he is expecting a ‘surge’ in the number of DAs being lodged. With Byron Bay’s reputation as an iconic beach location and the rise in property prices over the past few years, it is easy to see how that surge could become a flood. Getting a handle on how much growth the new sewage plant will provide is not as straightforward as it might seem. Phil Warner, Council’s head of sewage services and the man in charge of overseeing the completion of the new West Byron Sewage Treatment Plant, says the existing ‘load’, or amount of sewage generated by the current resident and tourist

It is still possible to have a quiet moment at the beach, as Jeff Dawson’s picture of schoolies shows. But will this change forever with more development and more residents?

population, will take up two thirds of the new plant’s capacity. To my reckoning that means in rough terms we can expect around a 50% increase in resident and tourism numbers.

B

ack in Council’s planning department, Ray Darney says he is working on an expected increase in resident numbers over the next 10-15 years from 10,000 people to around 13,000. However tourists are harder to tie down and Darney says he is still trying to get an idea of the likely growth in visitor numbers and how they might vary throughout the year. In the past tourists have arrived at set times of the year, like migrating birds, but the off season is becoming increasingly rare. On the night of August 14, 2001, in what would traditionally be thought of as a non peak period, around a third of the people staying in Byron Bay were visitors. Byron Bay has very little land earmarked for large, new subdivisions. Much of the expected development growth is likely to occur in the centre of town as more landlords convert existing single storey buildings into

shops and units to take advantage of the three storey height limit. There are a couple of other areas where we are likely to see growth such as the Becton site where there is tourism potential, Brandon Saul has a development for mixed residential and commercial development in Bayshore Drive, and there is an area of 1d land [under investigation for rezoning] at Belongil Fields. With the removal of the moratorium, landowners will now be able to submit DAs to build dual occupancies and unit buildings, something which in theory has been prohibited for the past eight years. Many of the developments which seemed to have slipped through the moratorium net over the past few years obtained their approval either because they installed onsite sewage plants or proved they had existing sewage entitlements to cover redevelopment. Ray Darney says he is expecting some of the projects passed with onsite sewage to apply for approval to connect to mains sewage. A committed green community and a green-leaning Council have mounted an

Byron pandanus still copping dieback Recent surveys throughout the far north of the state have found that the insect that causes dieback in Pandanus Trees has been contained in most council and public land areas, however Byron Shire still contains some infestations. The dieback is caused by the planthopper insect, Jamella australiae, which has caused extensive death of Pandanus trees in south-east Queensland. A working group of land management agencies throughout the far north was established last year to tackle

this urgent problem in a coordinated manner. Chair of the group, James Brideson, said, ‘While much has been achieved in controlling the spread of the insect and in treating infested trees the problem is unlikely to go away quickly. ‘Summer is the prime time for breeding of the planthopper insect and we would like the community to remain alert to the issue and to monitor Pandanus on their own property. They should notify their local council if they believe their trees have dieback.

‘Anyone buying Pandanus trees should check them carefully for signs of infestation and preferably buy trees that have already been treated. It is essential that Pandanus trees with dieback, or their leaves, are not transported as this will spread the pest further. ‘A brochure on Pandanus Dieback is available from all coastal Northern Rivers councils, National Parks and Wildlife offices and on the Department of Environment and Conservation website www.environment.nsw. gov.au.’

almighty effort to change Byron Bay’s planning regulations before the lifting of the development moratorium. A new Local Environment Plan (LEP) is currently with the state government awaiting the rubber stamp and in what could be an eleventh hour race, all the stops are being pulled out to get the LEP in place before the moratorium lifts and the brakes come off.

C

hanges enshrined in the new LEP include protection of neighbourhoods with a heritage character and a reduction in density for certain areas to limit units or medium density development. However the other issue still to be wrestled with is the growth in tourism

numbers. Ray Darney told The Echo, ‘We need to find out what number of tourists is sustainable. A key task for us is to strategically examine the balance between tourism and residents. Also how do we extract the funds to cope with the high number of tourists and protect the town’s assets, such as our beautiful beaches?’ While the provision of sewage is no longer an issue, Ray Darney believes as the population grows the adequacy of roads and parking in the town centre could become problems. ‘Traffic is quite intense now from time to time and we need to look at how we cope with that. We wouldn’t want it to be any more intense that it is now. One of the issues raised has been the provision of cycleways and other methods of transport such as public transport. We will need to look at how we extract sufficient funds from new development to pay for the infra-

structure that’s required,’ Mr Darney explained. Phil Warner says the new sewage treatment plant is undergoing tests to determine whether it can satisfactorily handle the increased load resulting in the transfer of sewage from the soon to be decommissioned South Byron plant. After a three month monitoring period to ensure ‘stability of results’ a request will be made to the Department of Environment and Conservation to issue a new and more stringent operating licence for the upgraded plant. ‘The big test will be over the Christmas peak load period, but I am confident it will all work,’ said Mr Warner. All going well the all clear could be issued by May 2006, possibly the dawn of a new age for the Aquarius town. *From The Big Shift by Bernard Salt. See his website at www.thebigshift.com.au.

Articles Bill Pennington reports on repair efforts in Aceh after the Boxing Day tsunami

Optimism among the devastation and rebuilding

T

he blonde American woman was animated. ‘I’ve got Bill Clinton arriving next week, your Foreign Minister the week after that, KoďŹ Annan and lots of other world leaders between now and Boxing Day. We’re opening an international media centre and are expecting hundreds of journalists and TV crews,’ she explained. ‘You don’t know anyone who has spare accommodation do you?’ We are sitting in a coffee shop in Banda Aceh, on the northern tip of Sumatra. This is the city that received the brunt of the earthquake and tsunami of December 26, 2004. You may remember Banda Aceh from the television pictures where a muddy wall of water pushes trucks, cars and bodies down a city street. At the time, more than 150,000 people were killed, and half a million made homeless in this province of Indonesia. A third of the city was completely destroyed, while the rest was subject to ooding by seawater as high as most houses. While the city survived and is slowly coming back to life, there are whole communities on the west

coast, not far from here, that no longer exist. It is hard to understand the extent of the damage. In Aceh, the tsunami affected a broad coastal strip on the west and north coasts. Low lying areas were completely destroyed by the impact of a series of thirty metre waves. Other areas were severely ooded, while inland towns and villages became camps for refugees. All that remains in many places along the coast are the concrete foundations of mosques, houses and rice barns. Communities that relied on ďŹ shing and farming have not only lost most of their people but also their livelihoods. Prime agricultural land has been inundated with salt water, and will take years to recover its fertility. Fishing boats carried kilometres from the sea can still be found in urban back yards and rice ďŹ elds. A bizarre sight in Banda Aceh is a huge industrial barge, four stories high and the size of a football ďŹ eld, that has come to rest in the middle of one neighbourhood. The main road now makes a ninety-degree detour around it. Everyone here has lost family or friends. In one of the primary schools our

project is helping, there are only 130 students left from over 500 before the tsunami. The school also lost nearly two thirds of their teachers. ‘I asked the orphaned children to consider me as their own new mother, and I would look after them,’ the principal tells me. The trauma felt by survivors is sometimes hard to see, but it is still there. The principal has been interviewed many times by the press, but no amount of repetition can make her immune. Tears ow. After the disaster, billions of dollars have been promised from governments, international organisations and donations from ordinary people. The priorities remain food, shelter, clothing and prevention of disease. A massive clean-up operation has taken place. Villages were covered by more than two metres of debris, including many unrecovered bodies. It took several months before heavy machinery was brought in and many areas declared safe to return. Disaster relief is primarily an exercise in logistics, distribution and coordination, and despite many hiccups, it appears to be working well. While thousands of people still live in tents and temporary housing in camps, many of those displaced have started to return home. Tents are put up on the foundations of what were houses. Land issues have become something of a sore point between communities and the government. Aid agencies are helping with securing land titles and land use planning, not considered all that important prior to the disaster. Aid workers speak of the various ‘phases’ of disaster response. Aceh has now moved from the ‘emergency’ phase into one of reconstruction. This means promised aid dollars are now put into projects such as rebuilding houses, schools and health centres, restoring basic services or used for agricultural development and microcredit to get local economies moving again. These kinds of projects need local capacities and ownership to ensure they are sustainable, and not be

driven by what donors want to happen or can supply. Participatory development is cited as a mantra by aid agencies, but frequently overlooked in the hurry to be seen as ‘doing something’. After disasters, there can be an unseemly rush by aid agencies into high proďŹ le areas while many worthwhile, long-term projects are overlooked. With the world’s attention shifting to the latest natural disaster in Pakistan, it will be important to keep the focus in Aceh on the process of reconstruction and development, although it will not generate as many spectacular images or stories for the nightly news bulletins.

A

year after the tsunami, recovery may look slow, but it has been almost impossible to spend the vast amounts promised quickly and at the same time be effective. Visiting journalists should look not only at what has been achieved, which is considerable, but also at what has been laid down for the next phase. They should be conscious of what is likely to be sustainable. The problems facing Aceh are always going to be those of an underdeveloped province in a poor country. Most people in the province lived on a dollar a day before the tsunami, and addressing endemic poverty does not happen overnight, or over a single year. The tsunami did, however, have one powerful and positive impact. For the last three decades, the Free Aceh Movement (GAM) has waged a guerilla war against the Indonesian government. GAM has demanded an independent state for Aceh, which has a history different to that of other provinces. Aceh has long been called the serambi, or verandah, of Indonesia. Lying strategically on the trade routes from the Middle East, India and China, it is where Islam first arrived in Southeast Asia. Marco Polo was an early visitor on his way back from Cathay, and Aceh makes an appearance in the Arab legends of Sinbad. The Acehnese are still proud Muslims, and a special version of shariah law applies in the province. They are also

proud of their independent heritage, with local rulers never subordinate to a foreign power. Acehnese ďŹ ercely resisted the Dutch colonisers and were only incorporated in the Netherlands East Indies as late as 1905. GAM and its sympathisers often portray the modern struggle against Jakarta in the same light. More recently, GAM has played on the widespread dissatisfaction against Jakarta’s economic policies and natural resource exploitation.

M

any parts of the province, particularly in the mountains, are under the control of GAM. It is claimed that fighting between the rebels and the Indonesian armed forces has killed an estimated 12,000 people. However the true number may be considerably higher. Three months after the tsunami, Jakarta was so sensitive about its military operations that it ordered international aid agencies out of the province, citing security reasons and the danger posed by GAM in some of the relief areas. After much protest, and no doubt some diplomatic maneuvering, this decision was rescinded and the agencies allowed to remain. The presence of so many foreigners and the need to transport aid into rebel held areas, it has been said, was the trigger for peace negotiations between the government and GAM. It is hard to carry out counter-insurgency operations with so many witnesses. At the same time, Indonesia has been granting greater and greater autonomy to its provinces, and it was inevitable that with more political control in local hands, there would have been increasing pressure from ordinary Acehnese for a solution to the conict. A peace deal, brokered by Norway, was struck on 15 August between the exiled GAM leadership and representatives of the Indonesian government. As one of my counterparts told me, recalling Indonesia’s own struggle for freedom, ‘National day falls on August 17, so this is the ďŹ rst time in 60 years that we have genuinely celebrated it in Aceh.’ The deal, supervised by European peace monitors, involves consultations on a new organic law (or constitution) for the province, decommissioning of GAM weapons and the staged withdrawal of Indonesian troops. At the end of the fasting month of Ramadhan, during

the holiday period of Lebaran, it is traditional to return to one’s roots. In Indonesia this usually involves a massive exodus of people from the cities to their home villages. Jakarta TV stations provide live updates on the trafďŹ c situation, and recommendations of roads to avoid. In Aceh, military roadblocks and operations have always made this more difďŹ cult, if not impossible. For Lebaran this November, for the ďŹ rst time in years Acehnese were able to move and travel freely, without harassment. For some, of course, the journey home is a tearful one. Friends and relatives have died or disappeared, houses have gone and the village is now tarpaulins and tents amid rubble and ruined rice ďŹ elds. But there is optimism amongst the devastation. Peace presents huge challenges. GAM will have to make the transition to a political force to retain its considerable public sympathy. Already, full independence is on the back burner while a more diluted version, allowing Jakarta to retain control over defence and foreign affairs, is being discussed. The Indonesian government is conscious that any agreement avoids sending the wrong message to its other fractious provinces. But, as my colleague said, ‘Even if they do nothing but talk for the next ten years, it will be better than ďŹ ghting.’ On one of my ďŹ rst days here, I was talking to someone while we were both waiting for a lift. Pak Ahmed has four children and he was concerned, as parents all over the world are, about the future and the kind of life they would be growing into. He wanted them to find work that would help others, and not be greedy and just ‘chase money’, as he put it. My Indonesian is rusty, and I couldn’t quite catch whether Pak Ahmed was talking about himself, his family, or the peace process. Maybe it doesn’t matter. He looked me in the eye and said, ‘You know, things have changed. Before the tsunami what we thought and what we felt were often very different. But these days, our heads and our hearts are the same.’ Q Bill Pennington is an international development consultant currently on assignment in Banda Aceh. He lives in Middle Pocket. Next week he looks at the rebuilding of a surďŹ ng village.

It’s been just over three years since Akimbo Imports made the seachange to Byron Bay and, as always, the warehouse in the Byron Arts & Industry Estate has an ever changing and eclectic range of unusual antiques and one-off pieces to complement your home. Robert Boxell, on his new range of fabulous beads, ‘Well, it’s great, it’s about heart and giving. There’s a lot to be said for something when you made it yourself, hey, you may turn into a cottage industry! At worst you’ll end up with some fabulous jewellery.’ It’s about giving honour to Saraswati, the Goddess of Art, Music and all things creative and beautiful. By taking care of Saraswati, Lakshmi, the Goddess of Wealth, becomes jealous and takes care of you (hopefully!). So, people of Byron, thank you so much for your ongoing support and have a wonderful summer.

The Biggest Little Town Snaps MANDY NOLAN SPEAKS WITH PHOTOGRAPHER, YVETTE WORBOYS ABOUT HER UPCOMING EXHIBITION, ‘COMMUNITY’. Sometimes as an artist, you will spend days, weeks, and even months, researching a project and contriving it to meet your ends. And sometimes, an idea will occur in a moment, and it is literally up to the artist to have the intuition to realise the authenticity and integrity of a project. Such inspiration occured for Sydney based photographer, Yvette Worboys who found herself ‘trapped’ in Mulllumbimby for a few days, with only her camera for company. ‘I was in Mullumbimby a year ago. I was up visiting a friend in Tweed and she had to do some work in Mullum, so I went with her and while she was working I was left to my own devices. I actually went out and re-

ally checked out the town. I took my camera out onto the street and met up with Russell Marsden who helped me meet up with the older people. If it wasn’t for meeting Russell it (the exhibition) probably wouldn’t have happened. I went back, the second day, when my friend Michelle was working, and the third day I came back and interviewed everyone and got everyone’s story. It’s the kind of project I would love to expand on.’ Russell and his late wife Rita are beautifully documented in Yvette’s exhibition, which also includes some narrative, mapping their story hand in hand with the early development of the town and infrastructure of the village of Mullumbimby. ‘As it happens, Rita Marsden passed away this year. That’s why it’s such an important project. I would love to move forward and document the living history of Australia as it happens.’

For Yvette, it was about taking the photos ďŹ rst and falling in love with the story of the people in the photo afterwards. ‘I took the photos ďŹ rst – I just think it’s interesting to see the way people are living history. These are the old dairy people, they used to pay the levies to the Byron council, so basically, they built the infrastructure in the town, they aren’t going to be around forever, they are like the pioneers of the country...’ The exhibition embraces the nature of Mullumbimby, before the onset of the next wave of generational change. ‘The thing I really love about Mullum is that it’s not so tribal. Byron Bay doesn’t seem to have that same feeling, maybe it’s the tourist factor that tends to hide the village, but Mullum has created its own identity. I wanted

Yvette spends most of her time in Sydney teaching at the Sydney College of the Arts, and ďŹ nding ways to use her photography in a creative and artistic sense, rather than purely commercially.

Yvette admits that coming from an outside area, you tend to see a community differently. As for her ambitions for future projects, she admits: ‘I would love the local council to say they want to commission me to do a study of the area.’

‘I ďŹ nished studying a couple of years ago and I went to our grad show and I realised that I am just not interested in the commercial side of photography’. So how does a professional photographer compete with the barrage of everyday photographers out there,

armed with their digital cameras and photoshop? ‘It’s true, everyone can take a photograph but unless you have a speciďŹ c eye... I can make beautiful images...’

Yvette’s photographic exhibition features cow expert, John Scott and one of his cows, Ron Towers, the Marsdens, and a few other local identities and icons. The exhibition opens at the Poinciana in Mullumbimby on Thursday, from 6pm.

I have a lot of thirty and forty something single girlfriends who just can’t find a man, or at least one that’s house trained. They have applied themselves to pilates, painted their lips, wiggled their hips, and when that didn’t work they looked deeper within. What message were they sending out to the cosmos? Did they really feel so unworthy of a functional relationship that they had doomed themselves to a lifetime of solitary refinement? They healed their chakras, cried over their damaged relationships with their absent fathers, burnt the photos of all their bad boyfriends, tied red ribbons around love affirmations, and wrote a stranger’s name on a piece of paper locked in an ice cube. And still nothing. They surrendered to the endless well intentioned questions of friends: ‘So have you met anyone yet?’ with a polite smile, a sad nod and a deep resignation, that perhaps, at the end of their particular fairytale, not only will there not be a Prince, there quite possibly won’t even be a toad. I’ve watched women turn in on themselves, looking for that fateful flaw that dooms them to a life on the shelf drinking

chardonnay with the other solo sisters. I was attending a keynote by demographer Bernard Salt the other night, and after compiling census information he revealed a startling and liberating fact. We are in the middle of a very serious ‘Man Drought’. And around here, available women outnumber available men by almost 3:1. See, it’s not personal. It’s statistical. There’s no blokes! And like any drought, we have to start living on rations. No more than half a bloke to be used at any one time. Approved times to be used is an hour in the morning, and then later in the evening, to avoid evaporation. Further data revealed the numbers of men and women in any particular

As Demi seems to get younger, slimmer and sexier, Kutcher seems to have aged prematurely. In fact, I do declare he’s only 23 and he’s going bald already. He’s heading off, and he hasn’t even arrived yet. In less than 6 months, I predict that he will be Bruce Willis. So girls, it’s a big Man Drought, it’s not time to be fussy, for the sake of procreation and partnership, you just might have to sink a bore!

age group. It seems ladies, that if you are to increase your odds and work from a man surplus, rather than a man deficit, you need to start dating a few years younger. Demi got it right. It’s the ultimate feminist challenge, to procure a partner from the array of twenty something toyboys. This is easier said than done. Apart from offering the comfort of a good old fashioned breast feed, the older woman has to battle gravity to keep her assets on the market ensuring her DOW index doesn’t drop when the shareholders lose interest. The Demi Moore/Ashton Kutcher scenario does have a few drawbacks, a kind of doodlings of Dorian Gray factor.

LIVEMUSIC ii GYAN COMES A GUBRA Byron Shire’s own and Australia’s premier acoustic trio Coolangubra team up with the unique songstress Gyan at a special one-off night of music at Ewingsdale Hall this Sunday. Coolangubra features the world class skills of the extraordinary Cleis Pearce on violin, local legend Greg Sheehan on percussion, and acoustic wizard Steve Berry on guitar. They ďŹ rst came together in 1989, performing around the country as part of the campaign to save the South East Forests from the chain saw. This soon led to gigs at the country’s best festivals and venues including WOMAD, the Adelaide Festival, the Sydney Opera House and of course many appearances at Maleny and Woodford. Evocative of Australian landscapes, the combination of exceptional musical skills and heartfelt delivery offer a musical adventure that is truly unique. With three CD’s already distributed world wide, Coolangubra are also happy to announce a new album soon to be born. Now in its ďŹ nal stages of production, it promises to be the best yet, with the new material covering a broad spectrum of sound and expression. Most of this new music will be performed at the gig. Gyan has a similar unconventionality, and is well known to local audiences, who marvel at her ability to traverse the human spirit with only a melody for wings. Since her sellout Byron Bay Writers Festival performance where she collaborated with Michael Luenig – presenting his work set to her original music – Gyan has also been hard at work on a new album, and will be performing material with the assistance of James Cruickshank on piano and Simon Grieves on guitar. Join these sensational artists at the Ewingsdale Hall on Saturday.

MC Trey and Maya Jupiter, Culture Connect, Raz Bin Sam and the Lion I Band, scratching, break dancing, grafďŹ ti art and DJ’s Scooter, Goody, MSG, Tripod and more. This is an all ages gig that kicks off at 3pm for just $10 pre-sale or $15 at the door!

It’s been a few months of chill time for Aurora Jane on the Australian touring front. Well, the transient front woman Jane has been in Canada, Victoria and outback NT running songwriting workshops and cooking up a batch of new songs... And you guessed it, recording of the new album ‘Massive Change’ has commenced at Meridian Receiver in the Byron Bay hinterland. The band is ecstatic to announce the new rhythm section: Linden Lester – bass (Morph, Peshwari) and Ben Karsay – drum-kit and percussion (Groove Dalley). These guys have been making waves in the music scene for years, and the fresh groove that they bring to the new Aurora Jane sound is undeniably tasty. See Aurora Jane swing into action at The Rails on Sunday.

The team is encouraging emerging MC’s or hip hop acts to come along to the event early and get up and perform on the open stage.

Every Sunday morning in Bangalow 30 or 40 people gather to sing sacred songs and chants, meditate, and be inspired by readings from mystics, poets and philosophers from many different traditions. One of the founders of this ‘Sanctuary’ group, Alison Mackay was inspired to write her own songs for the group. These ‘Heartsongs’ have quickly become favourites of the group, many of whom asked Alison to record them so they could sing along at home with family and friends.

Sometimes it seems that life is just way too serious. Relationships split up, there’s money worries, you’re not thin enough, fat enough, rich enough, smart enough, or even enough enough. Life doesn’t seem particularly funny anymore, and frankly you’d be lucky to have a chuckle once a month, but that’s more of a restrained gasp when you open your Telstra bill. If you’re feeling alone and freaked out, then don’t despair. You have a friend in comedy! That’s right. Your life is the best comedy you can ever have! Over the past 6 weeks, I have been teaching a crew of local loops the ďŹ ner points of ďŹ nding their funny. The current crop of ďŹ rst time comedians hail from a diverse background, and feature an architect turned boardwalk builder at the Byron@Byron, a recently arrived American naturopath, an ex-skinhead mum of twins, a nature writer, a feldenkrais practioneer, a Lismore high school Teacher, an ex-journalist, a woman just returned from the desert and an angry young bass player. In developing material for their premiere 5 minute performance in the show titled ‘The Virgin SacriďŹ ce’, the students have had to rake through their childhoods, turning over memories, to look for the bit

of emotional chewie stuck to the bottom. They’ve had to expose their fears, their failures and near triumphs. They have had a chance to carthart about the universe, to throw textual tantrums, to rant on about revolution. How do you ďŹ nd love? Where did my job go?

Kolliope at the Buddha Bar, Saturday natural endorphin lift, without the drugs, then all you need is one song from the Spice boys. You’ll be dancing and laughing at the same time, and I reckon that Azo’s version of Kiss is funkier than the crown Prince of Pash himself. Come celebrate the spirit of excess on Keith Richards’ Birthday, or St Keith’s day of Binge and Purge! 4pm on Sunday.

is a local collective including Camilla on crystal bowls, Elvina playing Navajo ute, concert ute and energy chimes, Amna Kamal singing Indian ragas and playing tanpura and Daeva Skye on Celtic harp. They perform their celestial sound salad at Ambaji, 6 Marvel St, Byron on Thursday from 7.30pm. Bring a cushion.

Bowling Club, tix are $10/15. These nights have a bit of a cult following, so it’s advisable to book on 6685 4045.

in the arts. It’s time to mingle and meet some movers and shakers in the local art world. Jazz artist Sharny Russell cools the evening with her beautiful vocals and piano, Friday at the Mecca Cafe in Lismore.

Elation at the Beach Hotel on Friday Will I ever get laid? Whose children are these? These are some of the questions that perplex the group who have pushed themselves so far out of their comfort zones they don’t even know what a couch looks like anymore. It’s been 6 weeks in the making and it’s just one night in the taking. See this sensational group of ďŹ rst timers grapple with their gags under the glare of a solitary spotlight. Be there to witness their exhilarations, exaggerations and humiliations. It’s a remarkable feat in courage and the only tears this will end in, will be tears of laughter. Hosted by Me, but starring the fabulous Them! Monday, 8pm at the Byron

is the last big laugh before Xmas. So get ready to unwrap your gags with the divine Ms L. I’ll be there as Mc as well! Bookings on 6686 2135.

ii ART: THE GENTLE ART OF SCHMOOZE Do you ďŹ nd it hard to approach galleries? Are you keen to meet gallery directors and show them your work? Well we have a fun way to ďŹ nd the gallery director of your dreams. Unlike a blind date, or a formal meeting, there’s no pressure, no expectations and plenty of time for sparks to y. The evening is Mc’d by Rachel Vincent and guest speaker is Robert Bleakley, who will discuss the ďŹ ne art of networking

ii POETRY: DANGEROUSLY XMAS The Dangerously Poetic ďŹ nal reading for 2005 will be a Celtic Christmas Party so get those potatos ready and make sure your tribal tattoos are showing! Expect Celtic music and poems with such delights as Karl Farren reading in Gaelic as well as sharing some of his original songs and Russell Hibbs, another well-known local bard weaving his story magik. Since moving to Australia from Dublin in 1998, Karl has sung with Scots-Gaelic choir, CeĂłl Anam, as a featured soloist on the debut CD by popular local choir Allegro Gone Troppo, and with contemporary a cappella quintet Velvet Groove and the local folk trio, The Prodigals. Karl has found a new voice in writing and performing his own songs. Singer, song writer, poet, Russell Hibbs has long developed his unique, dynamic style. He weaves tales and songs into the loom of our imaginations. Everyone is encouraged to bring along their favourite Celtic poem for an extended open reading! Dress Celtic if you so wish! Sunday at the RSL Hall, Station Street in Bangalow from 1.30pm. Entrance $4/5

POONERISM

A spoonerism is a tip of the slung that hits your bunny phone. One can imagine the young lad idly changing his name from Willy Spooner to Spilly Wooner, having a giggle and inventing a whole new genre. His mother would have told him he had very mad banners. He couldn’t go outside

A to Z of isms because it was roaring with pain so he would stay indoors and play with his cattle ships and bruisers. He eventually became an Anglican clan of the moth, known as Reverend, and honoured by queer old Dean Victoria who was not only a pheasant plucker’s daughter but also shining wit.

synastry

sensational jewellery

Synastry is the Astrological art of analysing Love, Romance and Relationships. Each of us is born with the planets of our solar system in a certain position that is unique to us. Two Natal Charts have as much chance of being the same as two fingerprints. Someone would have to be born at the same minute, and at the same place, in the same bed/futon/Kombi van as another to have the same Natal Chart. When casting a Synastry Chart, we look to see where two Natal Charts touch, repel, react and support each other. If his Mars is squared to her Venus then this may be a relationship of constant challenge. If her Moon is in his 12th House then she may have to assert herself to get his attention. Whatever the aspects and influences, Moon Sun Astrology can show you a way over, under or through many problems before you decide to walk out the door.

The Spirit of Shiatsu is one of communication through touch, something that is sadly being threatened in this stress filled world we are living in today. Many diseases such as depression, anxiety, insomnia, headaches, digestive problems, sore neck & back can be a symptom of this basic lack of human contact. Although Shiatsu literally means ‘finger pressure’ it also involves stretching, holding & leaning body weight into various parts of the recipient’s body to improve energy flow, blood circulation, flexibility & posture. Shiatsu facilitates the body’s own healing process & helps restore vitality. Diana Ewing has 19 yrs professional experience treating all ages & conditions. She works intuitively & with empathy.

PARADISE NOW

hSTAGGERING SPECTACULAR EMOTIONALLY POTENTv 6ARIETY -AGAZINE

The Arab/Israeli conict is a bloody subject. But in this there is no violence, just the constant sense of it, the memory and expectation of it, the stark evidence of how it has impacted on countless families. Made by Palestinians, it is naturally and unambiguously supportive of the Palestinian cause, but it never argues didactically that one means of resistance to the Israeli occupation is more valid than another. Instead, it is critical of jihad and presents cogent, passionately expressed arguments against bloodletting. Khalid and Said are young men selected for martyrdom. One is gung-ho, the other doubtful. Over the next forty-eight hours, the eagerness of the ďŹ rst evaporates, whilst the misgivings of the other are overwhelmed by the clarity of self-discovery. Beautifully ďŹ lmed, with no music applied as emotional touchstones, the story forges ahead irresistibly and logically to the unbearable tension of its ďŹ nal scene. Charged by a superb performance from Kais Nashef as Said, director Hany Abu-Assad achieves the unthinkable and makes us feel sympathy for the suicide bomber. This is a great movie, one that our lords and masters might soon not allow us to see. Don’t miss it. John Campbell

Rize explores the groundbreaking dance phenomenon that’s exploding on the streets of South Central, Los Angeles. Taking advantage of unprecedented access, this documentary ďŹ lm bring to ďŹ rst light a revolutionary form of artistic expression borne from oppression. The aggressive and visually stunning dance modernizes moves indigenous to African tribal rituals and features mind-blowing, athletic movement sped up to impossible speeds. We meet Tommy Johnson who ďŹ rst created the style as a response to the 1992 Rodney King riots and named it Clowning, as well as the kids who developed the movement into what they now call Krumping. The kids use dance as a positive alternative to gangs and hustling: they form their own troupe and paint their faces like warriors, meeting to outperform rival gangs of / -/ĂŠ ĂŠ ‡/ MBUFTU!JO!EJHJUBM!TVSSPVOE!TPVOE "6 ĂŠ*, - / / " dancers or just to hone 1 9ĂŠ ,‡ " / "

Microbrewery opens at Alstonville What with boutique coffee, boutique bush tucker and boutique kahuna massage, it is only ďŹ tting that the north coast now has a boutique brewery. It is not the ďŹ rst experiment with the boutique alcohol label – the Great Northern in Byron Bay has its Watego’s Ale for instance and Coast & Country Cellars has bottled for it the Cape View wines – but it seems to be the north coast’s ďŹ rst actual production centre, if you don’t count the dedicated amateurs brewing up all sorts of exotic substances at home. We’re talking about the Northern Rivers Brewing Company, located in the Russellton Industrial Area of Alstonville. Not as gorgeous a location as the historic Cascade brewery on the foothills of Mount Wellington at Hobart, but it’s a start. The owners say they are brewing a large range of all natural, handcrafted, premium beers made with no chemicals, additives or preservatives. Years of research visiting breweries and sampling beers from both here and overseas have seen Kevin and Andrea Rowland settle in the area to brew different beers from around the world. The choice was to brew outside mainstream tastes. ‘It makes no sense to brew beers that are exactly the same as what is currently available,’ says Kevin. ‘We want to brew beers that we enjoy drinking and that are different to what people are normally used to. ‘The world of beer is a huge one but unfortunately here in Australia choices have been very limited, although that is now starting to change. The idea behind a microbrewery is to provide people with beer that offers different avours and aromas from beer style to

beer style. ‘If someone only wants to drink a runof-the-mill lager beer, then there are plenty to choose from. However, if they are more discerning in their tastes, enjoy really nice avours and are looking for something different, then they can turn to a brewery like us.’ The ďŹ rst beers released by Kevin and Andrea are Koshlong Blonde and Dusky Pale Ale. The Koshlong Blonde is a 5%, golden coloured beer which the owners say can be enjoyed any time (try stopping a beer drinker). It is smooth and refreshingly balanced with a hint of bitterness and a slight spicy hop ďŹ nish. The Dusky Pale Ale is 5% and light copper in colour with a distinct hop aroma and bitterness. The specialty malts complement its bitterness, giving it a zesty avour. ‘Most people who have tried these two ďŹ nd that the Blonde is a smoother, sweeter beer than the Pale Ale,’ explains Andrea, ‘Females in particular really seem to love the Blonde but beer drinkers in general have enjoyed both equally as much.’ Kevin and Andrea say there will be at least two new NRBC styles of beer released in 2006. There are also plans on having beer available in mini-kegs for home use. Further plans include having a tasting room and retail area at the brewery, giving the punters a chance to see how the beer is made, talk to the brewers and taste samples. There is already a number of tastings scheduled in the area and the beers are now available at local hotels, restaurants and bottle shops. For more details on the brewery, the beers, tasting events and a list of stockists visit www.nrbrewing.com.au.

The rare beast of The Balcony Vi c t o r i a C o s f o rd

Byron Bay

Newrybar

*Âœ}iÂ?½ĂƒĂŠ7œœ`ĂŠ Somebody ďŹ nally got it right: the place Byron Bay needed. Two bodies, actually – Geoff Coward and Eddy Naggar, who swept up from Melbourne a little over a year ago, snapped up a restaurant in a prime position in town and seemingly overnight transformed it into the success that it is today. That wrap-around balcony had tried being being alternately family-friendly and ďŹ ne dining and never properly worked; calling the restaurant The Balcony was as obvious a choice as was the notion of installing seats so high that the space became, suddenly, a balcony with views, and the place you wanted to be. Even that might not have been enough had the various other details not been in place. Geoff’s extensive experience in the hospitality industry, especially with John Lewis Food Services in Victoria, taught him the importance of micromanagement and the essential collusion of a corporate tightness and structure with a hands-on family ethic. This translates loosely into a staff (currently at 65, handpicked for both their skills and personalities) who are energised and motivated sufďŹ ciently to feel they have control, responsibility and ultimately a sense of personal pride in what they do. It is vital that they are educated with regard to Byron Bay, knowledgeable in all its aspects such as where to go, what to do, what to expect, for the type of clientele you wish to attract – that if you wish for clean-cut, well-behaved customers then that too should be the face you present. The Balcony is that rare beast, an establishment which manages to please all age groups, all demographics, all palates – and closer scrutiny will reveal that

all who come conform to the notion of couth respectability in a town infamous for its wild party image. Geoff and Eddy wished to convey some of the sense of magic for which the Byron Shire, and especially Byron Bay, is renowned: an indeďŹ nable quality best expressed as eclectic, surprising, unusual. And to this end they have adorned and dressed their space with constantly changing artworks, antiques and artefacts: big comfy couches in seductively lit corners, huge canvases by local artists, massive vases of owers, a brooding piece of sculpture. It is the most fun place around. Yet this would be meaningless if the food were terrible. The food is not terrible: the food is, almost consistently, just gorgeous. Breakfast, lunch and dinner offer great choices of contemporary dishes at affordable prices – but if all you want is a small dish of warmed olives to accompany your glass of crisp green Giesen, or a wedge of sticky cake to go with a decent coffee, then you may have that as well. Overhead fans spin on to tables set with tiny candles, vast palms spill from generous pots and there is a soft breeze rufing the awnings which drape over Lawson Street. The music, perfectly pitched, sets just the right mood. Two girls in bikinis sip imported beers – a blue bottle of iced water faces an elderly couple whose order of a cheese plate is arriving by somebody smiling – a group of adolescents are waiting for cocktails. I’m just up here meeting a friend for a drink, loving the fact I will leave in a better mood, and that this place exists.

S TA R S Lilith

A painter paints pictures on canvas. But musicians paint their pictures on silence. Leopold Stokowski

Mars in Taurus (heated energy, fiery feelings) and Mercury in Sagittarius (combustible tempers, itchy triggers) aggravate this week’s general feeling of prexmas tension. But there’s easy, effective ways to deal with PXT: like thinking laterally, not taking bad moods personally and taking the time to help others out‌

11

2005

GEMINI: If in doubt ask a Gemini is a saying that comes into its own this week - and your breezy, free and easy, informative and genuinely helpful side has people forgiving you the occasional tactless gaffe. A speed of light, land of a thousand dances type week – your favourite kind.

SCORPIO: Cash, glamour, toys, trappings – this week’s a material-world whirl of hunting gifts to thrill and gathering presents to impress. Unlike the rest of the zodiac, you’ll actually accomplish what you set out to and still have time left over for a spot of creative brooding about the future.

CANCER: A fiery week to crackle your crabmeat, so practise rage abatement cooling down in the shower, pool or surf. Get your warm glow powering through the million and one things on your hit list and giving this week what it needs: peace on earth and goodwill unto others.

SAGITTARIUS: You aren’t the only one who needs your space, so keep a rein on invader behaviour this week: crowding others either conversationally, energetically or by presuming on their time and assistance. Leave people enough room for them to make a move.

0H

CAPRICORN: Just as you’re approaching overload by swarms of small but timeconsuming details this week, grace arrives in the shape of a fortunately timed piece of information that could save you heaps of time and effort. Don’t be so busy you miss it.

/ 1,- 9ĂŠÂŁx

LEO: Like lightning, just like that, you could finally understand this week how others are unwilling or unable to change. Then how easy is it to order your life accordingly – how much more satisfying being the one who changes, how much more in control‌

ARIES: Aries can handle responsibility, though this week it’s hard deciding which ones to take on. Your aversion to protocol and authority’s working against you – if others think you’re making unnecessary waves, take the time to explain yourself. Not too much time though – it’s busy-busy week.

VIRGO: You hate taking short cuts, others want to – if you must do it your way just agree to disagree. It’s always tricky being helpful without interfering and caring without appearing to nag – but managing it this week will make others feel so good you’ll be deeply appreciated in return.

AQUARIUS: Aquarians are keen observers of human nature and behaviour but your perceptiveness may not be all that welcome this week, so kick back into lower gear and do a little judicious self-editing. Don’t be tempted to make a point at someone else’s expense.

TAURUS: Taurans are notorious for their persistence, but don’t let an idea past its prime become an albatross round your neck. If you can’t bring yourself to lay something to rest this week, then at least pencil it in as a future option further down the track‌

LIBRA: Full Moon always intensifies the energy of the sign it’s in. This week that’s mental as anything Gemini which simplifies your current options: 1) Start spinning out. Or 2) Start figuring out smart ways to make life easier and more gorgeously enjoyable over the next fortnight.

PISCES: This week’s communication upgrades help finally iron out recent mixed messages and misunderstandings. And your sense of humour, which had almost achieved endangered species rating, returns home at last with a smile for your dial‌

ii CD’S FOR CHRISTMAS I have a host of CD’s built up here over the year that I would love to bundle up and give to a few lucky readers.

News Extra Animal carers needed ‘The Animal Rights and Rescue Group Far North Coast started in 1995 and is totally run by volunteers who dedicate their time for our pet rescue program,’ says the group. ‘We rescue pets that are no longer wanted by their owners and others that have been cruelly abandoned. ARRF has no shelter and all rescued animals live with foster carers until a caring home can be found.

Aquatic theme for Ocean Shores mural

‘Would you like to become a foster carer? Foster carers need a suitable pet area and time to care for a foster pet, all food and vet care is provided. Call us on 6622 1881 and register to become a carer. There is no RSPCA branch or shelter in this region, that means ARRG is struggling to cope with all pet-related problems on the Far North coast. If you support a pet rescue group make sure it’s ARRG.’

Blowin’ now showin’ David Bradbury’s latest documentary Blowin’ in theWind will be screened for one night only at the Byron Cinemas next Wednesday December 21 at 7.30pm. The ďŹ lm was co-produced and edited by other local ďŹ lmmaker Peter Scott. This compelling film about the use of depleted uranium in US weapons has raised the ire of the Australian Defence Force and drawn attention to military manoevures by the US Army on Australian soil. Find out what makes David Bradbury tick when The Echo interviews the Brunswick Heads filmmaker in next week’s issue.

Call for local contact with ambulances The question of problems surrounding the despatch of ambulances in response to emergency 000 calls has arisen after an incident in Sydney last month. This ser ved as a sobering reminder of the local tragedy in April 2003, when Tyagarah resident Saxon Gaheirty died from an asthma attack while waiting nearly an hour for an ambulance that got lost on the way to her house. Local resident Brian Burns has also experienced problems with ambulance responses to his emergency calls and is of the opinion that the centralised call system is partly to blame. ‘I had to call an ambulance for my son one day when he suddenly became acutely ill,’ said Mr Burns. ‘I live in Coolamon Scenic Drive, and the operator in Newcastle who answered

my call was unable to establish exactly where I live. It took the ambulance at least 20 minutes to get there from Mullumbimby when it should only have taken about three. We were lucky: my son had peritonitis and only just got to the hospital in time.’ To add further insult to injury, Mr Burns explained that the ambulance ofďŹ cer on duty in Mullumbimby at the time he made his call is a friend of his. ‘If I’d been allowed to talk to the ambulance station myself, help would have arrived within ďŹ ve minutes,’ said Mr Burns. ‘The ofďŹ cer on duty at the time is a friend of mine and knows exactly where I live.’ Mr Burns wrote to the then premier of NSW Mr Bob Carr requesting that he ‘have a staff member study this incident [in which

Saxon Gaheirty died] with a view to introducing intelligent exibility into the system so that major traumas and fatalities can be eliminated from the 000 system’, with particular reference to rural areas where street addresses are often more obscure than in towns and cities. Mr Burns is concerned that no such thing has happened, particularly in light of the recent events in Sydney. According to John Wilson, media manager for the NSW Ambulance Service, it is out of the question for callers to have direct access to the ambulance stations under any circumstances. ‘Our operations have been centralised for over 10 years and are manned by trained operators experienced in dealing with emergency calls,’ explained Mr Wilson. ‘When people ring up they

are often panicking, so the operator asks a series of questions and offers advice to the caller on how to manage the situation. If callers are put directly through to their local station, there is a good chance that there will be nobody there because the ambulance is out already.’ Mr Wilson went on to say that even in cases where there is confusion about how to get to the scene of the emergency, operators using their discretion to put callers through to ambulance ofďŹ cers to help with directions ‘just wouldn’t work’. ‘We get over one million calls per year and in 55% of cases the response time is under ten minutes, and the rest of them are not far behind that. We are always reviewing operations; if we think we can do things better then we will.’

Sports Roundup with Alex McAuley Road workers join local touch footy comp

Two of the teams participating in the Monday night touch football competition are construction workers with Abigroup who are currently in the area (pictured above). Due to privacy restrictions imposed by the RTA, we can’t tell you which particular piece of the Pacific Highway they are working on, so we’ll leave it to you to work that out for yourselves.

Girls Go SurďŹ ng day goes off with a bang The world’s biggest surf class took place last weekend as 65 surf schools and over 6,000 girls Australia wide took part in the 15th Annual Rip Curl Girls Go SurďŹ ng Day. The lessons that were held at 60 beaches around the country aim to promote a fun, healthy and non-threatening environment for girls to learn to surf. Kate Farmer from South Golden Beach participated in in the event for the ďŹ rst time this year and says she will be back. ‘It was awesome,’ said Kate. ‘ I had the best time and I think everyone should go next year.’ Surfing Byron Bay has been involved with the event for eight years, and owners Matt and Serena were delighted to have such a good turn out over the weekend with over 60 girls taking part. One of those girls, 13 year old Grace Jeffery from New Brighton, was back for the second year in a row.

Surfing Byron Bay instructor Jane shows Kate Farmer (left) and friends the art of standing up on a surf board at a class last Saturday at Cosy Corner.

‘We went to Tallow Beach on Saturday morning and it was beautiful; nice, small waves which were perfect for learning on,’ said Grace. ‘Even though I came last year, it was deďŹ nitely worth doing a second time, and I’ll deďŹ nitely do it again next year. The board I used this year was shorter than the one I used last year, and I

had lots of fun.’ Grace described the session as fun and relaxed with twelve girls in her group and two instructors. As an added bonus, every participant received a Rip Curl goodie bag containing a heap of great giveaways including two sample size perfumes, a lip balm, a t shirt and promotional material.

Shores lady golfers fundraising success Tuesday December 6 was the Ocean Shores Lady Golfers Christmas Party. The party was a celebration of an excellent year with fundraising for the Walter and Eliza Hall Medical Research Centre and, locally, the Brunswick Valley Rescue Squad. The theme for the day was either beach party or Christmas. The girls went to a lot of trouble organising their fancy dress and decorating their golf carts. The most outstanding outďŹ ts were the Grey Nurse Sharks; these ladies wore

(and played golf in) full length purpose-made grey suits complete with hood and fin and had brightly painted pink faces. Others wore the old fashion bathing costumes; some even borrowed uniforms and ags from our surf life-savers, with the life-savers’ team winning the award for the best dressed golf cart. The golf competition was followed by Christmas lunch and a cabaret act by the ladies’ Dancing Girls which was enjoyed by members and visitors alike. A Christ-

mas rafe was held raising $495 to aid the Brunswick Valley Rescue Squad, this in addition to the over $1100 for cancer research at their annual charity auction rounded off an outstanding effort in fundraising. The ladies continue to play golf throughout the summer, however the ofďŹ cial 2006 season kicks off on February 6 with a cocktail party and art exhibition. Keep an eye out for further advertisements in the New Year. All ladies are most welcome.

Sports Roundup with Alex McAuley Danny Wills causes sensational upset

The Banzai Pipeline, Hawaii, rolled out some solid twometre barrels to play host to round one of the Rip Curl Pro Pipeline Masters. The day was one of mixed fortune as the handful of locals and ASP Men’s World Tourers battled the challenging and changing conditions with former event champions Bruce and Andy Irons claiming wins while seven times world champion Kelly Slater was soundly defeated by Byron Bay’s Danny Wills. Creating a huge stir in his upset of Slater, Wills was happy to be competing against his favourite surfer and, as expected, was rapt to get a win over him. Slater

had not been defeated in round one of an event so far this year. ‘I was just glad to get some good waves out there. It’s harder conditions today compared to yesterday, so I’m happy,’ said Wills. ‘I like to get a good start quickly because I then get into a good rhythm. I felt really relaxed after I got a good wave at the start. Any time you get to beat Kelly is always good. It’s never intimidating coming up against him, it’s more exciting. He’s such a good competitor and a great surfer so any chance to compete against him is always good.’ Both members of the brothers Irons team were

solid in their respective heat victories and with the title race having now been decided, Andy looked relaxed, but stated he was eager to finish his 2005 campaign with a win. ‘With the race already over I don’t really care about how Kelly goes now,’ laughed Irons. ‘It was just good to have a win out of the three man heat as the waves were really hard today and getting one wave was really important. Pipe is probably the heaviest wave in the world so to win here means you get a lot of respect from other surfers. ‘To win here again would be a dream come true,’ added Irons.

Merv Hughes’ new cricket challenge Merv Hughes needs no introduction; his name is synonymous with Australian Cricket. Loved by the crowd in the outer, feared by opposition batsmen and respected by students of the game, Merv built a test record that lacks nothing in comparison to any Australian player across history. Now you have the opportunity to face off against Merv in the comfort of your living room with the DVD game Merv Hughes’ Cricket Challenge. In Merv Hughes’ Cricket Challenge, up to four players at a time have the opportunity to work their way up the

Crankin

challenge ladder by answering Merv’s cricket trivia questions correctly. Competitors must battle their way through the 16 ladder positions, and then through two semi-final matches to get to the world cup final. For world cup final winners, there is an opportunity to play Merv’s Grandmaster Challenge – special questions designed for hardcore fans of the game written by the cricketing legend himself. Winners of the Grandmaster Challenge will receive a password and be able to enter themselves into Merv Hughes’ Cricket Challenge

online Hall of Fame. Merv appears in the Cricket Challenge as your host. With tongue planted firmly in cheek, Merv will guide players and comment on their progress, personally celebrating or berating each player as they move through the game. The game enables up to four people to play at the same time and is great to play with family and friends. So whether you take up the challenge for yourself or give it to your cricket-mad loved ones for Christmas, this is definitely one for the shopping list.

Georgeson poised to take the world title This year’s Billabong Pro will decide the outcome of the race for the 2005 ASP women’s world title, which is a two-way tussle between Tweed Heads surfer Chelsea Georgeson and reigning world champion Sofia Mulanovich from Peru. Between them they have won six of the eight tour events staged this year and are tied with three wins apiece. Georgeson, however, holds the number one ranking going into the event with Mulanovich requiring a win or a second place finish to keep her title. Yet even with a win for Mulanovich, Georgeson must finish in a position worse than second otherwise Mulanovich will be forced to relinquish her crown. If Mulanovich places second, Georgeson can win with a

fifth place finish or better. The world famous break at Honolua Bau, Maui, Hawaii offers one of the most picturesque lineups in the world and has become synonymous with the Billabong Pro. Georgeson is competing in Maui as the world’s number one ranked surfer. She also leads the Vans Triple Crown of Surfing ratings, is defending Billabong Pro Maui champion as well as defending Triple Crown champion. Both she and Mulanovich are through to round three of the Billabong Pro, although it took Georgeson an extra heat to get there. Rounds one and two of the event ran in barrelling two metre surf over the weekend. Relegated to round two after failing to put together a combination of scores in her

wave-starved round one heat, Georgeson barrelled herself repeatedly to post a near perfect 19.10 out of a possible 20 point heat total in the elimination round. ‘I felt a lot better just being able to go out there and surf the wave, especially after that last heat. I really didn’t get to surf much in that one and I love this wave. It’s good to get some barrels and gain a bit more confidence,’ said Georgeson. In addition to deciding this year’s world champion and next year’s women’s WCT roster, the Billabong Pro is also the third and final jewel in the women’s Vans Triple Crown of Surfing series. Leading the charge in the Triple Crown standings is WA Melanie Redmann-Carr, with Georgeson just behind her in second place.

Warmer water brings on the pelagics In his last fishing report before Christmas, Paul Woolford and his wife Deidre from Lennox Head Bait and Tackle would like to take this opportunity of wishing everyone all the best for the Festive Season, and hopes you will call into the shop for your supplies and to say hello. The Marine Parks Authority has finally made its decision on zoning of the Cape Byron Marine Park and is bringing in the restrictions on April 1 next year. In the north of the Marine Park, off Byron Bay and Brunswick Heads, the area locked up as a sanctuary zone includes all of the regular areas used by boaties and many of the rock fishing points. Anglers are upset by these moves, mostly due to not being shown any actual scientific facts that these are areas of significance which need protecting. As with the Breamhole at Lennox, also being closed as a sanctuary, if the facts behind the decision were presented in an open, understandable form, and could be seen to be of benefit, the angling fraternity would accept them fully, instead of the present climate of mistrust of the bureaucrats responsible. Meanwhile, Seven Mile Beach is specified as being useable by bait netters to operate, while all other beaches in the park are closed to them. These people pay their licences to run their businesses, and should not be restricted to just gathering from this one area, which will throw added strain on the stocks here. Either all beaches within the park should be closed to them, or none at all. Once again, no reason for these selected closures has been offered.

Jack Kelly aged four from Lennox Head with a 0.346kg bream he caught in the Breamhole recently. Well done Jack!

Having got that off my chest, I can now get down off my soapbox and report that fishing conditions recently have been quite good from the beaches after the continuous strong winds have died down for a while. From most beaches, good catches of bream and whiting are being taken, with the occasional nice run of flathead around sandbanks and the edges of gutters. Best baits have been worms for the whiting, fresh cut mullet for the bream, and whitebait for the flatties.

Offshore last weekend, the water in close was like a millpond, and plenty of squire, pearl perch, and mowong were caught from the close in reefs. Out wide the water temperature has started to rise, being up to 24 degrees on Saturday, which is the sign that pelagics should start to move south on the current. Mahi mahi are around the FAD, with amberjack and sampson fish coming on the bite riding the currents. So until next year, happy fishing and tight lines.

Sports Roundup with Alex McAuley Kieren Perrow, what a wipe out!

New challenge for adventure sport fans

This spectacular photograph shows Byron Bay surfer Kieren Perrow being catapaulted from his board while surfing a huge five metre wave during competition at the O’Neill World Cup held in Hawaii recently. Photo Tostee Karen

Byron Bay’s Kieren Perrow was launched into the air by a powerful ďŹ ve metre wave during the O’Neill World Cup at Sunset Beach, Hawaii last week. Perrow charged the surf to win his heat and advance to the quarterďŹ nals. The O’Neill World Cup, a six star World Qualifying Series (WQS) event, is the ďŹ nal WQS event of the 2005 season with US$125,000 in

prize money and is the second jewel in the Vans Triple Crown of SurďŹ ng. West Australian Jake Paterson went on to win the O’Neill World Cup title after facing reigning three times ASP world champion and defending event champion Andy Irons, who seemed unstoppable on his local turf where he had the support of the crowd. However, Paterson, who won the event in

2003, found the high scoring waves he needed to post an impressive 17.10 out of a possible 20 points to claim victory ahead of Irons. Paterson dedicated his win to Tahitian surfer Malik Joyeaux who was tragically killed while surďŹ ng nearby Pipeline last week. Bede Durbidge from the Gold Coast and USA’s Pat O’Connell ďŹ nished third and fourth respectively.

Just when you thought sports couldn’t get any more challenging, somebody comes up with a new one that deďŹ es belief. Going by the name of ‘Multisport Adventure Racing’ this sport is like a team triathlon with a twist. With a team of three competitors required to complete each leg of the triathlon, each competitor must be within 100m of each other at all times, making this a true team effort. Adding to the complexity of the race, there is a number of checkpoints along the way, each one with an extra challenge to complete or else the team picks up time penalties. The extra challenge may be physical – crossing a particular section of terrain on stilts – or mental – complete a cryptic crossword. The sport is gaining popularity from as far aďŹ eld as Tasmania to Vanuatu, and has a very strong following on the Gold Coast, including ex iron man Guy Andrews. Locally, Byron Bay Dive Centre ďŹ elded a team in the championship round of the Teva Adventure Series last weekend, which took place from Carrara Stadium to the Nerang State Forest. Making up the team were three hardy souls: Danielle

Loveless, Perry Bartholomew and John Thomson who were required to kayak 10km, mountain bike 35km, orienteer 15km and, among other things, carry an egg from checkpoints one to ďŹ ve without breaking it. Relative newcomers to this sport, the team ďŹ nished a very creditable seventh in a

race of over 150 entrants, in an impressive time of just under seven hours. ‘We’re all absolutely hooked,’ said John Thomson. ‘We all agree that this race was the most challenging and exciting event we’ve ever been in. My legs were cramping for the last two hours, but I ďŹ nished the race.’

present for their four-legged friend as well. With 74 per cent of women surveyed saying that they buy a Christmas present for their dog, you will be showing that you understand their dog is part of the family.’ Hell, why didn’t we think of that? The service also offers: ‘It can be fun to dress up your pet for a Christmas party and many pet shops sell Christmas themed pet accessories.’ For more information on pets and dress-ups, see photo this page. Q Q Q Q A pair of Spangled Drongos (birds to the unintiated) have decided to build a nest in a gum tree in Backlash’s garden. Puzzled by the distances the birds were travelling to ďŹ nd each choice twig, we discovered that they were searching out stems with an added bonus, spider webs. During the delicate building process, the nest constructors were hassled by a second pair of Drongos in what local bird fanciers tell us was probably a territorial spat over prime nesting sights. Q Q Q Q Harried parents wondering what to do with anklebiters while visiting Brisbane might care to check out the ‘Kiss of the Beast’ exhibition at the Queensland Art Gallery. It traces the history of the King Kong tale – see more at www.kissofthebeast. com. It should at least make their nightmares more interesting.

Just a reminder that the Roman festival of Saturnalia falls on this coming Saturday. Those not into Christmas might care to celebrate instead this ancient day of revelry – see further details at www.novaroma.org/religio_ romana/saturnalia.html. Slaves should note that they get to be the master for the day. For more details on slaves, see the photo this page. Q Q Q Q The Mullum Soup Kitchen Hamper Drive has had a generous response, receiving excellent donations of kitchenware. If you wish to help out, donations of non perishable food items can be left at both the Byron and Mullumbimby ofďŹ ces of The Echo until Friday December 16. Q Q Q Q Due to the power blackout last week, the Elders colour ad in the classiďŹ eds was not updated and was published with an error in it. We had Kaye Wilkie selling two properties a week for the past eight years, but this should have read ‘for the past eight weeks’. So Kaye has only got 407 weeks to go now. Q Q Q Q Speaking of blackouts, the decrepit baby boomers at The Echo are delighted they can exploit the buffed biceps of Generation X in the art department for moving around heavy generators and other donkey work. And there’s no rest for the young, there are more of us arriving – see Lesley’s story on page 15.
