Reconciliation, protecting animals, demolishing sausages, and raising the ag will all feature in Australia Day celebrations around the Shire this Thursday. Byron Shire Council, along with community groups, businesses and various clubs, is again proudly sponsoring the shire wide celebrations. A Celebration of the Survival of the Indigenous Culture in Arakwal Country, part of the Bundjalung Nation, will be held at Byron Bay Main Beach Park between 11am and 4pm. A Welcome to Country by Arakwal Elders will be given at 11.30am followed by sausage sizzle, tea and coffee, music, face painting and other activities. The gathering will be hosted by the Arakwal people, Sisters for Reconciliation and the Byron Shire Council Australia Day Committee, who say that everybody is welcome in the spirit of sharing and caring. The Shire’s ofďŹ cial Australia Day ceremony starts at 11.30am at the Brunswick Valley Historical Society Museum, Stuart Street, Mullumbimby. The program will include a ag raising by the Mullumbimby Scouts, the Australia Day address by heritage adviser Donald Ellsmore and a Citizenship Ceremony for new citizens, conducted by the Mayor. Over 20 men, women and children will be receiving their Certificates of Citizenship on the day. Mayor Jan Barham will introduce members of the Australia Day Committee and, together with the Shire’s 2006 Australia Day ambassador, Olympic kayaker Shelley Oates-Wilding, will recognise the invaluable

contributions that residents in the Shire make within their local community with the presentation of awards. The Ocean Shores community is hoping Australia Day can launch a campaign to save endangered animals. Australian Animals 2020 aims to halt the extinction of all animals on the endangered list by 2020. Everyone, especially children, are invited to join in the Australia Day event at the New Brighton Oval from 3.30-5.30pm dressed as an animal. For more details visit www.oceanshores.byronbuzz.biz or call Tina on 6680 2029. Brunswick Valley service clubs will be holding their ever popular Breakfast in the Park at Brunswick Heads from 7.30-9am. Coral Crogan will be on the organ with Tracy Devine leading the community singing. Shelley Oates-Wilding is scheduled to arrive at 9am with the Mayor and community representatives. Brunswick Valley Coaches is providing a courtesy bus to the Breakfast leaving the Mullumbimby Newsagency at 7.30am and returning at the end of the celebration. Byron Bay’s Breakfast in the Park kicks off at 8am at the Surf Club with free Australian ags, stick on tattoos and live entertainment. It will be followed by the Celebration of the Survival of Indigenous Culture. Bangalow’s celebrations are scheduled for 3.30pm at the Moller Pavillion at the Bangalow Showground, and the Byron Rural Fire Brigade will be lighting the barbie at Gaggin Park in Suffolk Park from 2-5pm. For more information call Michelle Chapman at Council on 6626 7000.

Flooding interrupts a hot summer Emergency services were on evacuation alert last Wednesday night fearing a repeat of the June 30 heavy rains which saw widespread ooding in the Shire. Over ten inches (265mm) of rain fell in Mullumbimby overnight on Wednesday with Byron Bay not far behind. Roads were cut, roofs leaked and cars were stranded, but only one person was evacuated when water entered a house in a low lying area of Ocean Shores. Volunteers at the SES in Mullumbimby spent a busy day on Thursday ďŹ elding calls for help and by Friday morning had responded to all 58 calls for help. ‘We performed one rescue of a vehicle at Binna Burra where a campervan was washed into a creek and the driver knocked unconscious. We called in the Byron Bay Surf Club’s inatable boat which was able to get the driver out of the vehicle and into the ambulance,’ explained local SES Controller Noel McIveney. ‘Bangalow had a lot of problems with vehicles being caught in floodwaters and one lady was trapped for a while in her car with water rushing in.’ ‘It doesn’t matter how deep the water may seem, in these conditions it is always running fast,’ warned Mr McIveney who advises drivers to turn around and go back if they encounter water across a road. Water forced the closure of the PaciďŹ c Highway until Friday morning as well as the Lismore to Bangalow Road, Skinners Shoot Road, Balemo Drive, the Tyagarah end of Gulgan Road, Tunnel Road. Parts of Ewingsdale Road

Mark Patten sandbags the front of the Billinudgel General Store for the second time in six months, and he’s pissed off. Mr Patten wishes someone on Council would visit Billinudgel while it’s flooding so they could appreciate first hand the impact of their infrastructure plans on the town.

went under for a while and low lying parts of the Arts and Industry Estate caused the stranding of workers’ vehicles on Thursday night. Until 9am on Friday Myocum seemed to have been the wettest spot in the Shire recording 425mm for the previous 48 hours. Normally tame creeks turned into raging torrents flowing over whatever was in their paths, including the swimming pool of one unfortunate householder at Ewingsdale. Sodden campers at Brunswick Heads were forced to make a hasty retreat into local motels on Thursday and Billinudgel residents and businesses faced the usual inundation in Wilfred Street. Ken Barnham, licensee of the Billinudgel Hotel, said there was about a foot of water over the road but described it as nothing out of the ordinary. SES units from Tabulam and Kyogle were called in to

help out local emergency workers who worked tirelessly over the two days to man the phones and answer requests for assistance. Help was also at hand thanks to the NSW and Rural Fire Brigades and the Volunteer Rescue Organisation. Weather watchers are predicting a continuation of the wet weather and residents could do well to stock up

food cupboards and keep gutters cleared. Noel McIveney has been with the SES for 20 years and has monitored weather patterns during that time. He believes Byron Shire could be facing a period of wet weather until the end of March, bad news for traditional ood affected areas such as Billinudgel, New Brighton and South Golden Beach.

New plan for Byron Bay covers old buildings, the environment and holiday letting Lesley Patterson The protection of wildlife areas and historic buildings feature prominently in Byron Shire Council’s newly released planning document for Byron

Bay. The draft Byron Bay LEP lays out new regulations for development in Byron Bay and Suffolk Park, including limiting units in some residential areas and main-

, -

taining low height limits. St Pauls Church in Kingsley Street, the cemetery and the Hotel Great Northern are among 33 items placed on an interim heritage list designed to protect the town’s older buildings. They join the ten structures already protected including the railway station, post office and railway water tower. Three of the town’s older neighbourhoods have been identified as Interim Conservation Areas. Residents will be required to apply to Council for permission to carry out anything other than minor work to their homes in a move to preserve the older houses of the town. The precincts around Kingsley, Carlyle and Ruskin Streets; parts of Shirley and Byron Streets; and Burns and Shirley Street are the three Conservation Areas. Protection of our natural heritage is covered by wildlife corridors which seem to cover most of the undeveloped areas of the town. Development is restricted in

these areas which are zoned according to their ecological importance. New subdivisions are relatively thin on the ground, mainly due to Byron’s ecological significance. Suffolk Park and Bayshore Drive are mentioned in the LEP for new subdivisions, as has the existing camping ground at Belong Fields, which has been earmarked for residential and affordable housing, although the details are yet to be worked out. Another scheme designed to improve the supply of affordable housing is the introduction of garden flats in all urban residential areas. At a maximum size of 60 square metres, they are intended to squeeze into people’s gardens as rental accommodation, but cannot be subdivided. In a move which is bound to bring praise as well as protest, holiday letting is prohibited in all residential areas. However serviced apartments (which seem close to holiday lets) are per-

mitted in the town centre and in a new medium density zone covering key tourism areas such as Lawson Street, and parts of Lighthouse Road and Shirley Street. Current regulations allow units through all urban areas of Byron Bay providing the lot is large enough. The new LEP has partitioned the town into areas of low density, medium density and high density. The lowest density areas include Watego’s, Lilli Pilli Estate, Sunrise Beach, the Kingsley Street area, parts of Lighthouse Road and the majority of Suffolk Park. Previously three units were permitted on a 1200 square metre lot, however the new LEP allows only two units (effectively a dual occupancy), and discourages units by requiring a minimum of 1800 square metre for three units. Paterson Street, Shelley Drive area and the neighbourhood around Scott and Mackay Streets experience no change to the den-

s i t y o f d e ve l o p m e n t allowed, however areas closer to town are included in a new medium density zone which allows small units on 200 square metres (per unit) or 300 square metres for larger units. Height limits also remain unchanged with a two storey maximum in residential areas and a three storey limit in the centre of town. Anyone living in Belongil, Lawson or Cavvanbah Streets should take a close look at Map 16 which shows the areas in the front line of the erosion threat. With global warming predicted to increase sea levels and the frequency of cyclones, the LEP’s coastal erosion data is unsettling to say the least. The draft LEP together with large maps of the new zones can be viewed at Council’s Mullumbimby offices, the Byron Bay Library and Suffolk Park’s BP Station. Alternatively look on line at www.byron. nsw.gov.au. Submissions close on March 17.

on a violent rampage last Friday morning, assaulting a number of people and damaging several vehicles before being arrested at his home in Wilsons Creek Road. Witnesses and victims of the attacks described the man as appearing to be ‘seriously disorientated’. The trouble started at about 7am in Brunswick Heads when, an eye witness told The Echo, he observed a commotion in The Terrace involving an elderly man being chased by a younger man wielding what appeared to be a large lump of wood. The assailant chased the elderly man into the newsagency, stopping to hit an innocent bystander in the back with his weapon on the

the assailant was forcibly removed from the newsagency and then got into his car and drove off. According to Inspector Josh Burton of Tweed/Byron Local Area Command, ‘The man then drove to Mullumbimby Hospital where he assaulted several more people and damaged cars at random.’ From the hospital, he drove down to Mullumbimby Rural Co Op where he threatened Mullumbimby resident Rhonda Maher who had arrived to collect her car which had been left overnight for a service. Ms Maher explained that he turned his car around in the bus bays outside Mullumbimby High School and drove up to her

away from her before verbally threatening her. Having driven away from Ms Maher, the man nearly hit a Telstra van which was passing the Co Op. The driver stopped and got out of the van whereupon the assailant jumped out of his car and threatened the Telstra worker with a large stick. The Telstra worker ran away to escape harm, however the assailant proceeded to smash up the van with his weapon, causing extensive damage to both windscreen and back window. He then got back into his car and drove off, smashing into the side of another oncoming car causing considerable distress, but no physical harm to the driver.

back of yet another car driving out of Mullumbimby towards Wilsons Creek, causing the driver to crash into the Timber Slab Factory before ending up on the grass verge on the opposite side of the road. The man then took off at considerable speed in the direction of Wilsons Creek. ‘The police went to the man’s address in Wilsons Creek Road at about 7.40am,’ said Inspector Burton. ‘They found the man in a bus armed with both a large stick and a pair of scissors. A scuffle ensued followed by his being taken into custody. He will face court today [Friday] and will also be given a psychological assessment.’

Local drowns Tallow Beach claimed yet another victim last Tuesday with the tragic drowning of Suffolk Park man Lawson Jones. Born and raised in Port Pirie, South Australia, 44 year old Mr Jones had lived for the last six years in Byron Bay and was a keen swimmer. Despite the rough conditions at Tallow Beach on Tuesday, Mr Jones went out for a swim only to be pulled from the water half an hour later, drowned. Known for its treacherous undertows and currents, Tallow is a favoured

surfing beach but not especially popular among swimmers. An autopsy will be performed to determine whether Mr Jones suffered from any pre-existing medical conditions that may have contributed to his death. See eulogy, page 17.

Local News Whale of a symposium

Further delays for Coolamon Scenic Drive

Coolamon Scenic Drive at Montecollum will be closed to through trafďŹ c for a further three weeks because of heavy rain last week. Angelo Casagrande from Byron Shire Council said on Monday that through trafďŹ c will not be able to access Coolamon Scenic Drive this Friday as previously planned. The earliest the road will be open to one way trafďŹ c is now February 13, he said. As well as inconveniencing local residents, Beaumont’s Buses says the continuing road closure will severely disrupt school bus runs. Buses could be around half an hour late arriving at schools in Lismore and Mullumbimby as drivers navigate around the diversions. Lyn Beaumont says the company’s buses are too large to use the short cut along Possum Shoot Road and will have to divert from Montecollum to St Helena and along the PaciďŹ c Highway. With most schools starting their new terms

next week, Lyn Beaumont says parents should expect delays. For more information call Lyn Beaumont on 0408 216 231 or Errol Beaumont on 0416 216 231. One Montecollum resident has called the repair works ‘gross overkill’. George Lewin, who as inventor of the Triton Workbench has an engineering background, believes the repair job could have been a lot simpler. Council has defended its actions saying the site was assessed by experts and the repair works were based on that advice. ‘From a geotech point of view it is not overkill. If we do anything less it puts the road at risk of failing again,’ said Council’s Angelo Casagrande, who added that the steepness of the terrain and the degree of rain experienced in June were both factors in the complexity of the design. An edited version of George Lewin’s letter can be read on page 9.

Dean Jefferys from the Byron Whale Action Group will host a symposium on ‘How we can help the whales’ at Byron Community Centre this Friday at 6.30pm. Entry by donation. Local and international groups working to help the whales will give an outline of thier work and ideas how people can contribute to preserving the whales. Groups invited to speak include Sea Shepherd, Greenpeace, Australians For Animals, Surfers For Cetaceans, Byron Whale Action Group and International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW). A video projector will screen recent radical actions by Sea Shepherd and Greenpeace in the Antarctic trying to stop the Japanese whaling eet killing whales, segments from a Sea Shepherd DVD, along with footage never seen before in Australia of people swimming with humpbacks in Tonga. There will be Q&A and time to discuss an upcoming protest against Japanese interests in Brisbane. For more whale info, links and action ideas see www. worldpeacenow.org.au and www.shamansoftheamazon. com.

Tyagarah residents oppose boarding house DA A Sydney-based developer wants to build a three-storey boarding house at the top of Buckley’s Road, Tyagrah, which local residents claim will be used as accommodation for students of the SAE. The DA is for a ten-room boarding house with two people to each room, plus two live-in staff, a 25-metre swimming pool and 12 car parking spaces. That means the population on Buckley’s Hill could increase almost three-fold, from 13 to 35 people, with the consequent increase in trafďŹ c, noise and

dust. John Addis, a local resident, claims the development is designed to maximise returns at the expense of those who live on the hill, animals and people. He says, ‘The DA claims that wildlife will be unaffected and Buckley’s Road, which is barely adequate now, won’t require any upgrading. It doesn’t even mention that Gray’s Lane regularly oods or that we have a very active koala colony on the hill. It’s about making as much money as possible for the least possible outlay.’

Despite the fact that the DA was only made public a few weeks before Christmas, 24 objections to the development were made to Council, two of which included evidence of the local koala population. Residents also claim that the developer let it slip that the boarding house was to be used as accommodation for students of the SAE. They say this would make it a hostel, not a boarding house, something that the local environment plan expressly forbids.

NRCF finishes 2005 on a high note Since its launch in November 2004, the Northern Rivers Community Foundation has made considerable headway in its aim to suppor t community projects in the Northern Rivers region. Already, over $120,000 has been gathered in grants, donations and gifts through the substantial generosity of individuals and local businesses. The longterm aim is to grow this pool of funds to provide a substantial and ongoing stream of financial support to areas of greatest need within our community. The foundation was successful in attracting $50,000 in funds in 2005 from the Australian Government’s Sustainable Region’s Program, enabling the Foundation to undertake a small grants program assisting 11 diverse not-for-profit community organisations. Among those receiving

assistance from the foundation are Byron Youth Service, which received $10,000 to provide techology resources for disadvantaged young people, supported by multimedia training and industry mentors, and The Fatherhood Project which received $9,600 for research development and implementation of a pilot program that supports teenage and first time fathers from low income backgrounds in Byron Shire.

Further, the foundation has received funding from the Sidney Myer Foundation, allowing it to employ a part time executive officer. Peter Wood was appointed to this position in October last year. Peter previously worked as the marketing executive for the Sydney Opera House and recently with Arts Northern Rivers. The foundation finished 2005 on high note after a fundraising dinner held at the Byron at Byron Resort raised over $50,000 on the night. Christopher Dean, chair of the foundation, pictured above left, was delighted with the result. ‘The results from this single event were staggering and a wonderful example of the generosity of spirit that resides in so many of those who have made this extraordinary region their home,’ said Mr Dean.

When bribery goes beyond the pale Vol 20 #35

January 24, 2006

Dealing with depression As many commentators have noted, the resignation of West Australian premier Geoff Gallop in order to deal with his depression has brought an important issue into prominence and perhaps his courage has given hope to those suffering alone with the illness. Like child sex abuse in the family it is not an issue which should be swept under the carpet. We are told depression is a major malaise of the 21st century, at least in developed countries. According to beyondblue: the national depression initiative GP Review 2001, depression is predicted to become the second highest medical cause of death and disability globally by 2020. One in ďŹ ve Australians experience depression each year and about 100,000 are young people. In addition, depression is the most frequently reported, and arguably the most important mental health problem for young people (Medical Journal of Australia, 2002). In the 24 hours following the resignation of Geoff Gallop, online community depressioNet registered an increase of 48% in visitors and a staggering 104% increase in registrations to join the service’s online support community (messageboard and chat rooms). The greatest increase in activity occurred in the work and study forums, followed closely by those seeking help for a colleague or family member. ‘Depression in the workplace has been identiďŹ ed as the fastest-growing mental health issue in Australia,’ says depressioNet CEO Leanne Pethick. ‘We are seeing an increase in people coming to depressioNet who require tailored services to help them cope with the day-to-day pressures of the workplace and the problems involved in working while living with depression.’ According to depressioNet, self-help via the internet is now acknowledged by the mental health industry as an essential resource for people with depression. ‘The anonymity and self-determination of the online environment provides a perfect self-help solution for an illness that still has much stigma associated with it.’ More than that, people with depression need to feel that they don’t have to suffer alone. A good step can be in seeking appropriate counselling to look at the underlying problems rather than relying solely on medication. According to a survey by SANE Australia, counselling and exercise were reported as the most effective ways to deal with mental health issues, ‘however expense, medication side-effects, poor motivation due to the illness, and lack of referral by health professionals make it difďŹ cult for people to access these strategies’. Those seeking further advice online for their own depression or in order to understand the illness can visit www.depressionet.com.au, www.sane.org, and www.beyondblue.org.au. There is little space in this column to touch on the fundamental causes of depression, but we must wonder if a culture which places a premium on commercial success, competition and consumerism at the expense of close-knit community, self-exploration and connection with the Earth might have something to do with it.

O

ur macabre AttorneyGeneral, Philip Ruddock, likes to call them ‘facilitation payments’, or more delicately still, ‘machinery issues’. To the rest of us they are more straightforwardly bribes and kickbacks. And for those attempting to do business in certain parts of the world they are simply part of life; in order to get the contract ahead of the competition, it is usually necessary to slip the appropriate officials a backhander or two. This may be regrettable; it is certainly unethical and generally illegal. But it is also the way things work, and until the whole of society changes it is best treated just as commercial reality. Most of Australia’s successful international companies recognise this and factor a slush fund into their budgets, and no one, least of all John Howard, thinks any the less of them for doing so. Even when the bribes are used to secure agreements with countries of whom our own government purports to disapprove, there is no real problem: Howard himself has always maintained that trade and politics should be kept separate, and in his early years was the only member of Malcolm Fraser’s ministry to vote against placing trade sanctions on South Africa. Under normal circumstances he would undoubtedly privately applaud the Australian Wheat Board for beating the Yanks to secure a market, even if he felt compelled to do a little public tut-tutting at the way they went about it. But these are not normal circumstances; indeed, in Howard’s Australia nothing concerning Iraq is remotely normal or even rational.

Saddam Hussein was not just another tyrant, indeed quite a useful one in that he was a lifelong opponent of Islamic zealotry; he was the Antichrist personiďŹ ed, an apocalyptic threat to the Western world (this view, of course. often confused him with Osama bin Laden, his sworn enemy; but remember, nothing in Howard’s approach to Iraq is rational). To deal with Saddam was to sup with the devil. Therefore it is to the Wheat Board’s credit that when the compulsory invitation to dine arrived,

racy after a decade of Howard, it is easy to see why the department chose to turn a blind eye. It was clearly one of those pieces of bad news that the minister would rather not know; and indeed Alexander Downer has bleated through the letters column of The Australian (of all places) that he knew nothing, honestly; as always his ignorance was invincible. And of course, over time, the news got worse. The Iraqi demands increased, and a huge one-off payment was required to land a wheat

Either the government knew what was going on and acquiesced in both the crime and the coverup, or else it was almost unbelievably bumbling‌ by Mungo MacCallum the executives at least had the sense to take a very long spoon. The idea, of course, was to conceal the turpitude as far as possible from the United Nations, who would rightly see the payment of money, however indirectly, to the Saddam regime as a breach of sanctions imposed under the oil-for-food program. The problem was that the Australian government was already in the loop: the paperwork had to be approved by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade before it could be signed off by the UN. It is hardly credible that the shiny bums in DFAT were so stupid, lazy and incompetent that they failed to realise something about the everincreasing sums involved was a touch ďŹ shy; but, given the corruption of the bureauc-

shipment Baghdad claimed was contaminated just at the time Howard and Downer were denouncing Saddam most extravagantly. Then the AWB got involved in a very messy and grubby scam with BHP-Billiton to recover money for a shipment which had allegedly been a humanitarian gesture but which was really an inducement to secure oil rights. In the meantime warnings had come to the government from a number of outside sources that the AWB was involved in serious sanctionbusting. Still Howard and Downer laid low and said nufďŹ n. It was not until Paul Volcker’s UN report ďŹ nally blew the whistle that Howard had to respond, and then it was only to praise the directors of AWB as upright, downright and forthright

horny-handed sons of the soil. The main purpose of the inquiry he was forced to set up was to ensure that none of the said soil rubbed off on himself and his colleagues. But it hasn’t worked out quite like that. As the sheer scope of the AWB’s involvement with Saddam has emerged, with constant references in the paper trail about contact with the government at ofďŹ cial, ambassadorial and even ministerial level, Howard has been left with a stark choice: either the government knew what was going on and acquiesced in both the crime and the cover up, or else it was almost unbelievably bumbling and slovenly. We are, after all, looking at some $300 million paid over at least six years to the archenemy; and this, remember, was the time that Howard believed Saddam was building up his stock of weapons of mass destruction. $300 million buys a lot of guns, bombs and people-shredders. At the very least the AWB was guilty of war-profiteering on a grand scale; a harsher verdict might be one of actual treason. But even as the plot unravels Andrew Lindberg, the AWB’s amnesiac managing director, has no qualms: he just had a job to do, he insists, in a defence curiously reminiscent of the Nuremberg plea of only obeying orders. Lindberg clearly believes he had at least implicit backing from above. If so, he is about to learn how little old fashioned ideas like loyalty, accountability, responsibility, honesty and conscience count with his political masters. Golly, it wasn’t their fault. But then, nothing ever is.

Try something new Re Clive Lawler’s letter, Let us lettuce (January 17). If you couldn’t ďŹ nd the lettuce you wanted at the Farmers Market on Thursday, extend your tastes and try something new: sunower, mung or alfalfa sprouts, salad mallow, cos, parsley, basil, tat soi, pac choy, watercress, sorrel, mint, cucumber, capsicum, shallots. That’s just for starters, maybe some toasted pecans, fresh feta, and honey roasted sweet potato or pumpkin? So while some produce is unavailable at some times of the year, the Byron Farmers Market endeavours to supply affordable, quality, quantity and diversity in the products we offer the community. In the three years it has been on the ground, Byron Farmers Market has become a vibrant mix of over 60 organic, conventional and hydroponic farmers and producers. This mixture is naturally evolving. Each new season has brought with it new stallholders and new shoppers, visitors, sometimes buskers or local groups fundraising. If you haven’t been to a Farmers Market recently, extend your tastes and your shopping experience. Joni Teal

Kitten adoption Due to the large number of kittens currently in care (surrendered and dumped),

Animal Rights & Rescue Group are holding a special kitten Adoption Day. This will take place Saturday January 28, from 9am until 2pm. The location is 181a Keen Street, Lismore, next to Red Rooster, near Lismore Central. There will be volunteers available to answer questions on ARRG’s discount desexing programme, as well as on pet care and owner responsibilities. Each of the kittens looking for their special home is kitty litter trained, health checked, vaccinated, wormed and flea-treated. A small adoption fee applies, which covers pre-paid desexing and microchipping. While there are also adult cats and dogs awaiting adoption, they won’t be present on the day – they can be viewed on our website, or a volunteer can provide more information. Please call ARRG 6622 1881, or go to www.animalrights.org.au. Michela Brown

Respond to LEP The holiday season is well and truly upon us and Council has just released the draft Local Environment Plan for the Byron Bay Area (including Byron Bay, Suffolk Park and Ewingsdale). These two events are of extreme importance to all locals affected by holiday letting in residential areas. Fellow residents, now is the time to vent your anger and frustrations and voice your concerns. Silence hardly ever achieves results! As a member of the Council-initiated Holiday Letting Forum I urge you to: (1) share your experiences through the columns of our local newspapers, (2) raise your concerns with Councillors who, after all, are your representatives and (3) complain to the General Man-

Engineering gone mad at Montecollum? As a resident of Montecollum, I am amazed at what appears to be gross overkill in the repairs to Coolamon Scenic Drive, near Goonengerry Road, following the floods almost seven months ago. I am also bemused – to say the least – at the apparent stupidity and lack of common sense of at least some of the personnel in Council’s roads and/or engineering departments. In most modern countries – and even some Third World ones – a road which was damaged to the same extent would have been repaired and re-opened within a week, with teams working extended shifts, and with no major disruption to trafďŹ c. But no, we’ve waited more than six months, and now a massive excavation big enough to accommodate a toppled skyscraper

has been leisurely dug. It was doubtless recommended by some engineers and/or geologists covering their backsides sixteen different ways – at our expense. Did Byron Council, or the Department of Main Roads, instruct them perhaps that the repaired section had to survive a full-on nuclear attack? Though I’m not a civil engineer or a soil geologist, just a common or garden engineer, I believe we’re spending tens, or even hundreds of thousands of dollars unnecessarily, and wantonly causing huge trafďŹ c disruption for another two months. That section of road has been just ďŹ ne for the 11 years I’ve lived here – and presumably it was fine for many years before that – despite what any recent tests might tell us about the substrate

beneath the asphalt. It was a ‘Once in a HundredYears’ ood that washed away a narrow strip of road verge, about ten metres long, and did only minor damage to the edge of the asphalt – a 10m strip roughly 15-30cm wide. (Even this was avoidable if Council periodically cleaned out the roadside drains.) A similar verge washout, nearby in Goonengerry Road, was ďŹ xed with some Geotex, rocks and concrete – in three days without a total road closure. If the Coolamon substrate tested as worse than that in Goonenegerry Road, then surely some piles driven into the verge could stabilise it, perhaps with some shuttering, plus the Geotex, rocks and concrete. Half the road could have stayed open, and even such an easily (and cheaply)

repaired section would probably still outlast any other part of the road. Instead, a massive trench covering about three quarters of the road in width has been excavated to a depth of more than seven metres in places, for a distance of probably 170 metres! I think these long-awaited repairs are a disgraceful example of unthinking overkill by Council and the Department of Main Roads, and are inspired by the coveryour-backside syndrome. We are paying for it with our taxes, our time and our needless environmental degradation. Council should think long and hard about who it employs in these areas, and what sort of supervision is provided of their work in future.

ager of Council, as the regulatory body, about your particular problems: ring 66267000, email pamela. westing@byron.nsw.gov.au or use the ‘Customer Request/Complaint’ form on the web www.byron.nsw.gov. au. Council records of your communications with them will become an invaluable tool to your community representatives on the Forum, so please be noisy! The Local Environment Plan will be on public exhibition from Friday January 20 until Friday March 17 (deadline for submissions). Some provisions in this document will, once passed by Council and approved by the relevant State Minister, dictate the future of holiday letting in our residential areas. Please don’t delay your submission. Make your voice

heard so that Councillors have a better understanding of the wishes of the community. Don’t worry, holiday letting interests will do the same. Say no to holiday letting in our residential areas. Your voice is vital!

Before you spend all the money on a three kilometre bike track to nowhere, try practising on a few hundred yards of essential connecting bike track, and preferably before there are any more accidents. If our mayor is so set on doing a deal with the RTA, isn’t the land adjacent to New Brighton Oval crown land, thus making it government owned? And if the mayor is so concerned about the welfare of the critters up this way, she might consider a fence along Shara Boulevarde. At present the animals benefiting most from the wildlife corridor to nowhere are the foxes feasting on roadkill. How many of you councillors drive this road at night? Or for that matter how many ride a pushbike around these

mentioned areas? Before you go spending all this money on ridiculous pie-in-the-sky white elephants, please have a good rational think about who you are supposed to be helping and for what reasons you are helping them. P Anderson

Call to heat Mullum swimming pool I would like to thank and congratulate the new management of our local Mullumbimby Swimming Pool for the excellent service they are supplying. In addition to the immaculate condition of the pool and surrounds you can always be guaranteed and smile or a wave or a chat with their friendly staff. I have been told by good authority that the takings for this season (only half way through) have well exceeded that of the whole previous season which should please our Council quite a lot.

In addition to attending water aerobics at the pool, I have bought a season pass, and would dearly love to upgrade this to an annual pass. Not that there is such a thing at present because the pool is only open for a six month period, closing for the winter season at Easter. I believe our beautiful pool is sadly under-utilised by being closed for six months. I also suspect that if we were able to swim year round there would be a lot of supporters from schools, clubs and individuals.

I understand that heating the water would be done with a pool blanket, a cost of approximately $50,000. From the same reliable source, two or three local businesses have offered to donate a significant amount towards this cost. Perhaps the balance could be raised by the community with a function or two. I would personally be happy to be part of a committee to make this happen. Of course there would need to be a restructure of management fees by the council to

cover the additional staffing and administrative costs. Should gate takings continue to exceed any other year, this may strengthen an application to them. If others think this is a good idea and/or would be happy to work towards making it happen, you could ring me on 0422 410 234. Alternatively please consider signing the ‘Support For Year Round’ Swimming petition which I have left at the pool kiosk.

compromise and go on with new things to learn from the past mistakes. Analysing this and projecting that the next 2006 event should be international it becomes clear that

the structure of BPC has to change and more members have to join. Presenting this results in a split 2:3. The upper-hand three become the only members of the

They are not recognised by the three head committee, even if they are founders and main sponsors of the incorporation. I was once part of the Byron Peace Carnival and was a co-participant in holding the public trust that included the caretaking of 108 banners sewn by community volunteers. It is now known that the Byron Peace Carnival Inc has been hijacked. My aim was and is to have a community incorporation with a structure to give an example to the world. Now it is time to wake this community up. Please declare your interest to join, your membership and lots of them only can give the BPC the needed attention.

the building industry. I live in a lovely house with my spouse and two children in Mullumbimby. I have a little flat out the back of my house that I let to a gentlemen with health issues. On a Friday I arrived home from work to find two thug-looking type people basically standing over the gentleman in his room. When I approached them and asked why they were in my house, their response was, go away, we don’t have to tell you anything, and refused to leave the premises. I told them if they didn’t leave I would remove them. At this stage my spouse came out to see what was going on, when she told me one of them was a mental health worker I then asked this person to identify himself. He said he was a mental health worker and at this I said because of their unorthodox behaviour they had two minutes to finish their business then get off the property. As they were leaving I again asked for their proper IDs, to which they replied that they didn’t have to show me ID. They left without so much as an apology for their behaviour and it is this behaviour that scares me to the bone. To think after doing eight years service to this country that the Australian government has given people from the mental health department permission to walk into anyone’s house, grab anyone they like and not tell anyone who they are.

Super Exodus

Cigarettes may appear to be different, but there is no healthier choice. Cigarette packs use different names, numbers and colours so they all appear to be different. But what you should know is that even though light, mild and low tar cigarettes feel smoother on the throat and easier on the chest, they can deliver the same amount of toxins as full strength cigarettes. The fact is, whatever the pack colour, whatever the number, whatever they are called – all cigarettes are toxic and they all cause serious damage.

Spectacular, stunning, superb… Superlatives just can’t describe the brilliance and vibrancy of this year’s Exodus Festival at Bald Rock. Highlights included the fire spectacular, incredible spinning magic VJs and DJs spinning magic, the local and international bands, particularly the Japanese band Dachambo which took us beyond the next dimension in sound, the endless drumming circle at the Chai Tent where even the straw was soft, all under a full Cancer moon. Thank you to everyone involved in organising and participating in the best festival ever! Heaven came to earth for a few days – just a sign of things to come. Mamawow! J McMahon

Letters parties (Lib/Labs) in relation to the upgrade of the PaciďŹ c Highway. Don Page would be better off as an Independent MP, the Nationals/Country party is past its used by date. Proposing toll ways to fast track completion, delivering proďŹ ts to private corporations, whilst abrogating their duty to provide forward planning and infrastructure, is just another kick in the guts to the average Australian citizen who is already underpaid and overtaxed. The APP has a simple strategy to deal with this and other infrastructure funding problems such as hospitals, schools, aged care, the environment, clean water, renewable energy sources, the list is almost endless. It is our policy and that of a number of minor parties, that a People’s Commonwealth Development Bank be created to fund all future capital works. This will deliver massive social capital

outcomes and real dividends for all Australians particularly to regional communities, not just proďŹ ts for shareholders. Section 51 of the Constitution provides the mechanism for a bank to be established. That is how and why the original Commonwealth Bank was established after WWI. It is the parliament’s duties under their constitutions to provide infrastructure, not to sell off the common wealth of this nation and its people. An option would be for Howard and Costello to give some of the extra, surplus (GST) $8-10 billion back to the people for infrastructure. We were promised it (GST) would be revenue neutral and other state taxes would be dropped. Just another porkie/lie/broken promise. Another option would be for the Double Taxation Act (Cth) 1954, which allows companies domiciled in off-

shore locations/tax havens to avoid paying taxes in Australia, to be repealed. Beside Crown land belongs to the citizens of Australia and is held in fee simple and cannot be legally contracted to a third party to eece more money out of the people. Does anyone remember why the people and the Barons forced King John to sign the Magna Carta in 1215? That’s right – taxation and a codiďŹ cation of liberties for the people. Has anything changed or have we just come full circle again? Have the corporations become the new monarchy that the parliaments have sworn allegiance to?

dered I wander off, wondering what time zone I had entered. Was I blind, not able to see? Did I not know the rules? I don’t understand, all this time I thought I had it ďŹ gured out, that somehow we were all here to ďŹ ll each other with love and forgiveness, joy and laughter. Oh, what could be softer.

I thought I had it right. Last week found myself going to a Mac user group meeting at the Mullum RSL. Walked in, started to head upstairs, then realised I had to sign in ďŹ rst. So standing on line, when all of sudden this man steps out from behind the counter and leaning past the folks in the line ahead of me, starts barking like an ex army sergeant. He yells out that I cannot come in the way I am dressed, which is sleeveless, I need a shirt, coat, something with sleeves. I mumble in some sort of amazement, to which he yells back that if I say another word, he will not let me in, then shouts he is allowing me in this time only because the meeting is upstairs and not in the main lounge area.

Pedal power

swerve at the wrong time for whatever reason and a tragedy may happen. While the estimated cost is not small, it occurs to me that for not only safety reasons but for strategic ones should Councillors take a big gulp and approve funding. The link allows more cyclists to access Byron from Ewingsdale and surrounding districts instead of driving their cars along an already often congested route. I have little doubt in tourist season, when trafďŹ c bankups and delays are common on the road into Byron, the bikeway would be very popular with locals and would reduce car congestion and inconvenience.

All pedal power to Shiobhan Oliver and her call for a bikeway from the Byron BP to the highway. The current road is very dangerous for cyclists with 100 km/h trafďŹ c whizzing Mark Bailey by and sheer verges on both Byron Bay sides making a serious injury or death here a real risk. I simply don’t use this Good news week section on my bike at all for That old Bible prediction of ‘all the ďŹ sh in all the oceans this reason. It would only take one continued overleaf

Leading the way It has been very interesting to see the cooling down of Byron Bay's New Years Eve celebrations and the subsequent change in the very nature of this controversial time of the year. I was in Port Douglas when the opposite occurred with the massive promotion and development of what was once a charming and laid back coastal town. The commercialisation took place very rapidly and the talk around town became more on the lines of the town being a good investment. The lifestyle that had been the main drawcard was being passed off as another inevitable casualty of progress. What actually constitutes progress is subjective and very debatable but it would seem that by observing the deliberate heating up of Port Douglas

and the equally deliberate cooling down of Byron Bay that we do indeed have the ability to determine what sort of progress a town can be guided towards. Amidst the

inevitable and no doubt heated debate on what is happening to our beloved region, it will be worth noting that given these two examples, it is possibly within our power to work

towards a direction for Byron that identifies how local business can be promoted and supported while still retaining a vibrant community. Could we lead the way in

deliberately creating a future direction that is not dominated by the disempowering march of blind progress ? David Warth

Byron Bay

More mileage made in the motorway debate Q I’m told that the RTA has said that 18,000 submissions rejecting its scenic superhighways is ‘not particularly significant’. Oh dear, if only we had collected 18,001 signatures, perhaps the RTA would listen to us. Who are they listening to? How many people actually voted for their sixlane monstrosity? We know the RTA listens to the community. They can’t just do what they want, can they? D L McDonald

Byron Bay Q Thank you, Ian Cohen. Your response (Letters, January 17) to my letter of January 10 has helped to focus the motorway debate and has clarified certain issues. Ian, while I am aware that you, the mayor and other prominent greens live some kilometres from route option D, I hadn’t necessarily expected that it would make any difference to your collective feeling of protectiveness regarding your little piece of paradise down there. It is heartening to hear you imply clearly that route option D noise impacts would be a non issue for the majority of the Broken Head community and by extension for Suffolk Park, which is equidistant from route option D. I am nevertheless concerned that, despite the very real threats on the plateau to the communities (73 houses gone; 200 people homeless: Newrybar village obliterated) and the environment (eg

impacts on the delicate catchment and the extensive reafforestation of the littoral rainforest around tributaries of Emigrant Creek Dam), you did not get involved in the original T2E debate. Yet you jumped pretty quickly when the extension of the study area was announced. Why? My concern was compounded by the following unique para. in the T2E RODR page 141 – ‘It should be noted however, that some residents in the coastal plain section of the study area have a broader definition of “newly affected” and consider the entire coastal plain area and those living in it or near it to be affected by potential noise… issues.’ Really? Why? Further, there were no chastising little letters to the editor from you when that dodgy anonymous media campaign ran full page ads in the local press blaring ‘6 Lane Motorway for Broken Head’ and ‘Broken Head under attack again’. Clearly as you have demonstrated, those were aggressively false assertions, but no indignant response from you. Why? I’m happy that you have clearly stated that you will not support any of the route options and that you will support the investigation of an alternative inland route. Well, that could be fantastic. If the Page Proposal works as a cost effective, efficient, socially and environmentally uncompromising alternative Motorway route then… RTA, get it under way. And if it doesn’t work?

What then? We’re stuck with the existing route options, all of which are less than desirable and one of which will be constructed. Let’s assume that my cynicism regarding the gaggle of greens residents at Broken Head is unwarranted. Let’s assume that they, like you as their mentor, also rightly regard option D as not impacting the Broken Head community (It is, as you say, some kilometres away). Can we then count on the support of the Greens in pursuing the least socially, agriculturally and environmentally damaging option? Ian, that is unavoidably option D. Please respond. Just an aside for D L McDonald (Letters, January 17 and 10) – your letters ring with the strident tone of the blindly devoted foot soldier. How about you campaign among the 300,000 strong New England community with the first and vital point of your petition – ‘Move the interstate freight back to the New England Highway now’? I’m sure they would be delighted to reap the benefits of this ultimate act of Nimbyism. Another one for Mark Parratt (Letters, January 17/1) – re your own campaign to generate civil non-violent action should the RTA start to build a motorway here. I’m sorry, Mark, but I don’t think you’ll get 18,000 protesters together for your show. You might scratch a handful of locals, but if you really want a result and you can afford it, then call the RTA

and get a few thousand of the names and addresses on the 18,000 strong anonymous submission. Then you can ring them all up in Germany, Sweden, Brazil etc and promise them a week or two of being warrior wooffers in Australia, chaining themselves to bulldozers on the highway. They’d love it! Mike Burless

Newrybar Q Re Richard Staples’s letter (January 17). Richard, I am a resident of the Bangalow area. You are a local elected representative on Council.You have a responsibility to your constituents to represent their concerns. Is there some good reason that you feel compelled to attack the Bangalow Heartbeat just because the editor feels he has a responsibility to inform his community of the advantages in not having a motorway on the village fringe? Contrary to your statement that an eastern option would have a hugely detrimental impact on highway access for 2479 residents, an eastern option would be hugely beneficial for nearly all 2479 residents – particularly residents of Bangalow. They wouldn’t need access to a new motorway for all their local needs – the Bay, Lennox, Ballina – they would have the clear, safe alternative of the safety upgraded old highway maintained as a local use/tourist road. It couldn’t be better. The 18,000 people who signed the CEPS submis-

sion (I didn’t know that CEPS had actually publicly claimed responsibility for that campaign and petition – do you know something I don’t?) agreed to a campaign whose #1 stated priority was ‘Move the interstate freight back to New England Now’ and that was the lure. It was not to do a ‘moderate upgrade on the existing alignment’ as you stated. You can check out your errors in the full page ads in the Echo November 8 and November 15 editions. The architects of that campaign have failed to achieve their primary objective. What does that say about their lesser objectives? Is it the Greens policy to misrepresent the facts as it suit or is it just a personal failing? Dennis Muller

Bangalow Q The ‘Green’ attack on Mike Burless in your paper last week is based on their claims that 18,000 people (and Cr Richard Staples admits to being one) can’t be wrong. Well, let’s see if that stands up to scrutiny. Item 3 of the submission signed by 18,000 people says, ‘Upgrade Tintenbar to Ewingsdale to a class A highway on the existing highway corridor’. When grilled by Mr Ian Cohen at the Parliamentary Inquiry Mr Bob Higgins GM RTA said, ‘in relation to an A class upgrade the RTA had a series of safety concerns’ and ‘there would be potential for

accidents’ for an upgrade to be built to that standard. Now, would 18,000 people want to see the upgrade built to an unsafe standard? Or were they hoodwinked because the pedlars of these submissions were saying ‘sign this and save lives on Tintenbar hill’? I’ll let your readers decide because many of them signed that submission. Could the reason why these ‘Green’ gentlemen want an unsafe upgrade of the existing highway be because the safe limited access motorway standard proposed by the RTA can’t be built on the existing highway and therefore brings the coastal plain route option D into play. This is where Cr Staples says he is an ‘affected resident’ and Mr Cohen claims he isn’t. Perhaps Mr Cohen would like to explain why, when the initial study area necessitated any proposed route option traversing the ‘protected environment’ of the Emigrant Creek drinking water catchment he took no interest in the highway upgrade. But when the study area was extended to the coastal plain he called for a Parliamentary Inquiry at the huge cost of taxpayers’ money. And for what result? I am an ‘affected resident’ with two motorway route options traversing my property. However I accept the RTA’s assessment of the class of road required to obtain the highest level of road safety.

Comment

The aftermath of Wheatgate might be wild

O

sama Bin Laden’s new tape, and his offer of a ‘truce’, make it clear at least that he isn’t dead, as ‘experts’ have been saying in the past few weeks. It’s an old CIA tactic: if the enemy is, or might be, dead, then we are, or might be, winning; or making significant progress at least. Thus Castro in 1961 was reported to be in the last stage of a mortal illness at thirty-four and Mao TseTung throughout the sixties to be already dead or in a coma, and his frequent public appearances those of a body double. Al-Zaqawi likewise has been thought dead or ‘near capture’ (whatever that means) a goodly number of times, Gough and Margaret Whitlam near divorce as recently as November 1975. Whatever might weaken the enemy in the public eye is what the spooks put out as plausible rumour, and the craven mind-slaves of Rupert loyally print. The WMDs, for instance, was one such rumour, and the story that Uday Hussein fed foes into a ‘human shredder’, totally wrong, it seems; and the triumphalist falsehood that the Taliban had fled Afghanistan or disbanded, and would trouble our brave lads no longer; or that cheering, rejoicing multitudes throwing red roses and spraying champagne crowds would welcome American tanks into Baghdad, and so on. A fair rule of thumb is that any story that favours our side and isn’t an actual photographed battle with thousands of actual, visible bodies is probably untrue – that the Abu Ghraib tortures were the work of ‘a few bad apples’; that David Hicks, after four years, is now facing ‘justice’; that George Bush isn’t back on the piss, that Condaleezza Rice, who called him her ‘husband’, isn’t his mistress and Ariel Sharon’s ďŹ rst stroke was ‘medically insigniďŹ cant’, and so on. If ‘reliable sources

close to Bin Laden’s secret headquarters’ or ‘medical experts’ or ‘War on Terror experts’ predict something good for our side, it’s probably a CIA, or ASIO, or Murdoch beat-up. Like the Hitler Diaries.

pity about Geoff Gallop. I helped on the campaign that won him office and found him as bright and decent and self-effacing and committed a man as I’ve met in politics. I believe that he believed that he didn’t deserve his fortune and he’d be punished for it by the Christian God that he also sincerely, truly believed in. A couple of hours with a chiropractor, probably, or a slight adjustment of his diet, or a couple of weeks in Oxford with his guru Peter Thompson, or a month asleep on the beach on Rottnest Island, might have left him more predisposed to continue, and have saved Labor a mess of trouble and loss of office in the West, which now might happen and if he’d continued wouldn’t have. And it’s a pity.

by Bob Ellis like the one Saddam waged on the Kurds for thirty years. It’s nice when conďŹ dent, plausible words by Howard, ‘encouraging the terrorists’, ‘giving aid and comfort and ďŹ nancial assistance to a violent ideology’, rise up foaming and bite him on the leg. Will Wheat Board executives spend even one day in

coction of euphemisms and diplomatic obfuscations that convinces anyone of their innocence? No. Will he try? Oh yes. For these are his friends and allies, what some would call the ‘mates’, the greedy, lazy, well-born bastards whose lifelong incompetence requires, in billions, government subsidy. These

are the men who belong to the Ruling Class he hopes and prays each night he can join in his early seventies, and live well among. Can this truly major scandal – let’s call it Wheatgate –be suppressed by the craven right-wing elites, the chattering fascists, in broadcasting and print? Or will it break out? I’m inclined to think it will, and my wayward, bumptious disciple Malcolm Turnbull (I’ve known him since he was eighteen, and can’t bring myself to detest his politics however I try) move his luggage into The Lodge by, say, August 20. For the Howard bandname now is poisonously tainted, and in its final, twitching throes. And a belated, failed Costello coup in March, round his tenth anniversary, will grievously wound him, and the compromise cleanskin candidate Malcolm triumphant by Father’s Day, which will give him a year to regain ground, if he can, against Beazley. And will Beazley win? Oh yes. You see if I am right.

apitalism didn’t look that good after Enron, Worldcom, HIH, Bhopal, Erin Brockovich, Rodney Adler and Halliburton’s corrupt arrangements in Iraq and New Orleans, but after the Australian Wheat Board’s bribes – all right, alleged bribes – to this era’s Adolf Hitler it looks – dare I say it? – as if the capitalist system carries within it the possibility, and the opportunity, for evil, and a kickback culture worse than that of Soviet Russia. I could be wrong about this, but I would have thought it was treason to send hundreds of millions of dollars – to buy WMDs with, and the uranium to fuel them, and the rockets to hurl them into the sky -– to a man, a modern monster, we’d already waged a war on, and were pretty likely to wage war

The lure of Queensland The lure of business friendly policies in Queensland combined with NSW’s lagging economic growth is signiďŹ cantly affecting unemployment ďŹ gures on the north coast, Ballina MP and Shadow Minister for North Coast Don Page has said. Mr Page said unemployment in northern NSW increased at a higher rate as you travelled closer to Queensland because people were opting to do business over the border. ‘If you compare the unemployment ďŹ gures for September 2004 and Sep-

tember 2005, the Tweed has had a 3.4 per cent increase in unemployment,’ Mr Page said. ‘Unemployment in Byron Bay rose 2.4 per cent, 1.6 per cent in Lismore and 1.5 per cent in Grafton. ‘The further away from the Queensland border, the rate of increase in unemployment lowers.’ Mr Page said the Australian Bureau of Statistics September quarter figures showed NSW had the most lack-lustre economic growth rate of any Australian state – just 0.3 per cent.

Bays visits the Bay

When worlds collide at Goonengerry

Brandon Bays, pioneer of ‘The Journey’, described by its supporters as the future of medicine and the ‘most radical, revolutionary tools for transformation on the planet now’ and whose Australian base is in Byron Bay, will be holding an evening at the Byron Community Centre Tuesday January 24 at 7pm. She has returned to Australia to give her last personal Journey Intensive weekends on the Gold Coast and Sydney before launching her new book Freedom Is. ‘Brandon Bays participated in her healing from a basketball sized tumor in only 6 ½ weeks – no drugs, no surgery!’ say her publicists. ‘The techniques outlined in the international bestselling book The Journey (published by Harper Collins RRP $29.00) are so simple, effective and practical that people from all walks of life are benefiting. ‘Building on the work of famed endocrinologist Deepak Chopra and renowned cellular biologist Dr Candace Pert (featured in What the Bleep Do We Know), Brandon Bays shares how modern science is the very essence of Journey work.’ Says Bays, ‘Emotional or physical issues are the gateway to realise our boundless potential and inner freedom.

ouis XIV’s Hall of Mirrors at Versailles has been reopened after a $19 million cleanup. That’s a hell of a lot of vinegar and newspaper – in anyone’s language. It inspired me to sling a few bucks at Cat Carer to do my windows. She’s been in a querulous mood, with Bartolomeo spending every other day at English coaching, but she accepted my offer on the proviso that I let her drive my Commodore from Bruns to here. She’s belatedly going for her licence and wanted extra lessons on a manual. Me instructing anybody about driving is like Warnie teaching discretion. ‘OK,’ I trembled, ever the gallant. The old Commie clung tenaciously to the road as Cat Carer thrashed it all the way to Goonengerry. If only the speedometer worked, I might have convinced her to slow down. An airy abyss at Coorabell loomed and for one bowel evacuating moment I thought that we’d go hurtling into it. I’ve always wanted my life to run like a movie – but not Thelma And Louise. Cat Carer cursed my sloth as she peered through the streaky arcs the wipers had made in the opaque brown of the windscreen. At the top of Mafeking Road we fell in behind a 4x4

juggernaut. QLD numberplate. Dad at the wheel, running over pythons while taking care not to ding his gleaming Pajero in our heritage-listed potholes. Mum in DKNY shades, keeping an eye out to snap picturesque ferals. A couple of cosseted darlings in the back, watching Harry Potter on indi-

vidual mini-screens. A scummy Kombi was heading west along Repentance Creek Road. Coming the other way a minibus full of jolly Europackers returning from a day trip to Nimbin, glass-eyed and giggly after sampling the local product. Dad was taken unawares

by Mafeking Road’s treacherous dip into the intersection. His pride and joy skidded to a halt inches from the other vehicles – the nearmiss was enough for the Kombi to shed a layer of rust. Cat Carer supplied the coup de grace by ramming the 4x4 up the arse. The hand-painted Kombi was like a motorised billboard – Free Tibet, No War, The Goddess Dances. The number of snot-nosed barefoot kids that spewed out of it suggested that the crushedvelvet goddess had been doing more than just dancing. Maybe the Lutherans are right about what it leads to. I make a mental note to scour The Echo for functions for mature-age revellers. Look under ‘gigs for desperates’. The minibus emptied one by one. A buxom Brunhilde emerged wearing a spray-on Benfica soccer shirt. Next out was Bartolomeo. Cat Carer had conniptions. She gave Bart a gobful and clipped the letter box when we finally swerved into my driveway. She scowled at Portnoy and got through half a bottle of Dubonnet before condemning me for her plight. ‘None of this would have happened if you’d cleaned your windscreen, Old Man.’ Love hurts, don’t it?

Alex McAuley After spending seven years flying around the world, Mullumbimby boy Ross Pelmore has settled back in Australia where he plans to fly around. On a flying trapeze, that is. Ross was born in Byron Bay and raised in Mullumbimby where he went to Mullumbimby Public School. He attended high school in Brisbane before starting a hospitality/management course at Kingscliff TAFE. Part of the course requirements was to clock up a number of hours of practical experience, so he went to work at the flying trapeze school at the Byron Bay Beach Resort. ‘I played rugby for the Mullumbimby Moonshiners,’ said Ross. ‘In a bizarre coincidence, out of that entire U19 team, most of us are now performers or instructors in flying trapeze.’ Ross joined Club Med and spent the next seven years working in their resorts all over the world as an instructor and manager of flying trapeze. In 2003, Ross returned to Mullumbimby

Tess Ferguson of South Golden Beach is a regular performer with and student at Zip Circus, founded by Ross Pelmore.

where he decided to build his own flying trapeze in order to establish a school, named Zip Circus, locally. Working to his specifications, North Coast Fabrications built the trapeze which Ross has taken to Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary for a trial period which will finish at the end of this month. ‘I decided to build the

trapeze to the same specifications as the ones used by Club Med,’ said Ross. ‘They’ve been using them for 35 years with no problems, so I figure that’s good enough for me. It’s [the trapeze] been a huge success at Currumbin; we’ve had between 150 and 200 kids per day using it, and seven kids are so addicted,

they’ve been coming back every day.’ Ross hopes to come to a permanent arrangement with the Sanctuary and set up his school there. ‘The school will operate one and a half hour lessons for $45 which will include six practice swings and then two attempts at a catch if the students have the position right,’ said Ross. ‘There will be three instructors with a maximum of 12 kids, so it should be lots of fun.’ The trapeze is limited to over fives only, however the under fives needn’t miss out on the action; Ross has designed a ‘Net Adventure Climb’ which involves climbing a nine metre net at the back of the trapeze while harnessed and supervised by an instructor. ‘My aim with all this is to get kids away from hanging out doing nothing at the weekend,’ said Ross. ‘They can come along and learn how to use the flying trapeze and a few circus skills like juggling as well.’ For more information on the flying trapeze, visit www. zipcircus.com.au or call Ross on 0404 234 480.

Articles Lesley Patterson Over Christmas and January holiday makers flock to Byron Bay to enjoy our beautiful beaches. Another creature also visits the area en masse during the summer, but is unseen by most of us. In the shallow waters of the Bay, Blue-spotted Rays settle on the sand, darting off into deeper waters if disturbed by curious snorkellers or swimmers. While they can be seen all year round throughout the Bay, the quantity of rays increase during the warmer months, probably as they migrate into local waters to feed. IdentiďŹ ed by the blue spots on its body, the Bluespotted Ray usually has two stings or barbs and a stripe along either side of its tail. ‘The barb is at the base of the tail where it meets the body,’ explained Rob Dalton from Byron Bay Dive Centre. ‘The barb is like a spear which goes in but doesn’t come out and is used as a last resort as a form of defence.’ Despite their numbers in the shallow waters off Clarkes Beach, reports of ray stings are rare as the rays tend to move off at the approach of a swimmer. Another visitor this Christmas has been the interestingly named Guitar Fish or Banjo Shark. Although

Close-up of the Blue-Spotted Ray, one of the inhabitants of the undersea world of Byron Bay.

often mistaken for a shark, the Guitar Fish is actually a ray and is a placid and nonaggressive creature. Growing to around three metres in length, a two and a three metre specimen has been seen in the Bay over the holiday period. Sometimes known as a SharkďŹ n GuitarďŹ sh because of the two tall sharklike ďŹ ns on its back and a large scythe-like tail, it spends most of its time close to the ocean bottom. It has a reputation for being inquisitive, approaching swimmers and divers for a closer look, but despite its

ďŹ erce appearance is completely harmless. ‘Guitar ďŹ shes are among the most sought-after ray for shark ďŹ n soup, but we know little about them,’ says Danny Bucher from Southern Cross University. ‘They are probably a tropical species which drift down the coast and tend to spend a lot of time in between reefs and in lagoons.’ Also found lying on sandy stretches of the Bay and commonly seen at the moment, is the Eastern Shovelnose Ray. Sandy coloured with dark blotches

it has a shark shaped lower body, but with a long triangular ray like snout. Growing to just over a metre in length it is partial to prawns, shrimps and crabs and occurs from southern Queensland to southern NSW. As sunworshippers lay basking on our beaches this summer, a wild and wonderful natural world co-exists just metres off shore. It’s a world worth protecting so if you’re lucky to see any of these marine marvels – look but don’t touch.

Tuesday’s the day to go fundraising Rhonda Galbally Community organisations are always looking for just the right moment to ask people to donate. Well, the answer’s in: Tuesday’s your day! A recent analysis of almost 28,000 online donations made through the Australian Giving Centre at www. o u r c o m m u n i t y. c o m . a u found that people appear to be at their most generous on a Tuesday. The analysis of more than $4.5 million donated through the online donations service, which is operated by www. ourcommunity.com.au with the support of Westpac Bank, showed that people gave an average of $207 per donation on Tuesdays, as compared with an overall average on all days of $161. Saturday was the quietest day for online donations. Interestingly, the time of day also seems to be a factor, with people tending to give more between 7am and 8am and 7pm and 8pm. There were gender differences too. Men were higher one-off donors, however women were more likely to be in it for the long haul and sign up for ongoing monthly donations. All this makes for interest-

ing reading and there are many whys and wherefores you can come up with to explain the peaks and troughs and the differences between the giving patterns of men and women. But the real lesson in all this for community groups is that you have to be in it to win it. Last year’s Asian tsunami saw Australians giving in greater numbers, in greater amounts and with more speed than ever before – and now they’re used to the technology, many people will only give if they can do so with their credit card, online, and

want to make the most of online donations you also need to tell people there is a new way to donate. You can do this by: • redesigning your website – put the link to online giving (a ‘DONATE NOW’ button) where people can see it and on every page of your site; • adding your donations link to your other material – your letterhead, your business cards, your yers, your brochures, your email signature, your PowerPoint presentations, your posters, your e-newsletters (with a hyperlink to the donations site), and your email signature; and • publicising the new feature in other ways – mentioning it in media interviews and articles, for example, or doing a mail-out to donors, supports, sponsors, volunteers, members and others. For more information about how you can sign up your group up for online donations, or give to an online appeal, go to www. ourcommunity.com.au/ onlinedonations

at a time and place that suits them. Another important fact is that people also tend to give more when they do it via a computer than if they’d had to dig into their pocket or write out a cheque. Many groups think that online fundraising is only for big organisations – but that’s deďŹ nitely not the case. Signing up with the free and secure service provided through the Australian Giving Centre is one way you can get online quickly and at no cost to your group. Q Rhonda Galbally is the But it’s not just a matter of CEO of www.ourcommunity. getting the appeal up. If you com.au.

Tax advice for NPOs Fundraising plays an important part in most non-proďŹ t organisations.The Tax OfďŹ ce booklet ‘Non-proďŹ t organisations and fundraising’ can help your organisation make the most of fundraising by helping you to meet your tax obligations and access all the tax concessions available. The booklet outlines how deductible gift recipients endorsed by the Tax OfďŹ ce can offer their donors and contributors tax deductions for donations and contributions to their organisation. It also details the GST concessions for non-proďŹ t organisations. Some concessions may be applied to an organisation’s fundraising activities, while others help non-proďŹ t organisations meet their GST obligations. ‘Non-proďŹ t organisations and fundraising’ also looks at

the state and territory government requirements for conducting fundraising activities such as bingo, rafes and door knock appeals. There is also information on local government authority regulations for fundraising in public areas. For organisations wanting more information on tax deductible gifts including the endorsement process for deductible gift recipients, the Tax OfďŹ ce’s ‘GiftPack for deductible gift recipients & donors’ provides more detail. You can ďŹ nd ‘Non-proďŹ t organisations and fundraising’ and ‘GiftPack for deductible gift recipients & donors’ along with other information on the Tax Office’s website www.ato. gov.au/nonproďŹ t or you can call the Tax OfďŹ ce on 1300 130 248 and order a copy.

Blueprint released to cope with Seachange surge The thousands of Seachangers ooding to coastal resorts are fuelled by a pehnomenon known as amenity migration according to a research report by the National Sea Change Taskforce. ‘Amenity migrants are those who relocate to a new area for lifestyle considerations rather than economic factors,’ said Dr Nicole Gurran, one of the authors of the report. ‘The growing number of people migrating for lifestyle reasons is challenging the traditional theories that people relocate mainly for economic considerations – which has generated most previous migrations. This is clearly not the case in destinations that are valued for their scenic landscapes or opportunities for recreational pursuits, such as water sports and ďŹ shing.’ Dr Gurran said several factors suggest that population growth in Australian coastal areas will continue for the foreseeable future. These include: the imminent retirement of the baby boomer generation, which will produce a sizeable new market for high amenity retirement destinations; the global shift away from manufacturing based economies

towards information, service and consumption based industries which are less dependent on a metropolitan location; and the growing exibility of work practices associated with new telecommunications technology, which enables some workers to relocate to small coastal centres or the rural hinterland. Dr Gurran said amenity migration is not just occurring in Australia. ‘The shift to high quality lifestyle destinations is also occurring in North America and Europe,’ she said. The past two decades have seen substantial population increases in many of Australia’s coastal communities and the highest rates of growth currently are being recorded in coastal areas adjacent to the state capitals in Queensland, Victoria and Western Australia. The research report released on Monday by the National Sea Change Taskforce sets out a blueprint for future planning and management of coastal areas facing the pressures of population growth and development.

"LACK TO PLAY AND BREAK THROUGH

for Sea Change Communities, was prepared for the Taskforce by the Planning Research Centre at The University of Sydney. It identiďŹ es the key challenges facing Australia’s nonmetropolitan communities and outlines the planning tools and strategies available to address the challenges. Cr Joe Natoli, the Chair of the National Sea Change Taskforce, said the research report has been hailed as a critical step towards achieving a sustainable future for Australia’s coast by the planners and ofďŹ cials who have seen it in draft form. ‘The research identifies best practice planning principles for responding to the governance, environmental, community, economic and infrastructure needs of nonmetropolitan coastal com-

munities,’ Cr Natoli said. ’It provides more than 140 examples of best practice for managing the effects of rapid growth drawn from Australia, New Zealand, the United States, Canada, the UK and the European Union. This will be of immense value to policy makers, coastal councils and others who have responsiblity for managing the impact of coastal growth and will assist in maintaining social cohesion during a process of rapid change.’ The National Sea Change Taskforce, which commissioned the report, was formed in 2004 to represent the interests of coastal councils experiencing rapid population and tourism growth. The Taskforce now represents more than 60 coastal councils, including Byron Shire.

of low cost housing supply are protected, or strategies to mitigate the loss of such supply are in place; and ensuring that all members of the community share access to environmental and physical amenities and services; and, where appropriate, maintain opportunities for lower cost holiday accommodation and visitor facilities. Best practice strategies and approaches to implement these principles include: • strategies to ensure that urban planning and design frameworks protect unique attributes of place such as: undertaking a study of ‘sacred spaces’ to identify areas of speciďŹ c importance to residents; using recreational access strategies to diffuse demand for particular sites, distinguishing between areas of high tourism potential and places for lower key local recreation, congregation, or contemplation; undertaking a local heritage study; establishing a “design review boardâ€? to facilitate community and expert input into decisions about new developments; and, holding award programs to recognise good design and to educate developers about appropriate responses to the local environment. Good examples have been developed by Surf Coast Shire, and Gold Coast City Council.

Under the section ‘Community Wellbeing – Best Practice Principles and Strategic Responses’, the report says, among other things, that strategic planning frameworks for amenity and high growth coastal settings must aim to: • protect and enhance the unique character and sense of place of coastal and hinterland settlements and surrounding landscapes; • build social cohesion, by actively seeking to integrate new residents within the community, and fostering an active civil sector through participatory activities and volunteering; and • maintain social equity and diversity, by ensuring that new housing opportunities and services cater to peo- Q More about the taskforce ple of diverse incomes and can be found at www.seachstages of life; existing forms angetaskforce.org.au.

Making picture books – a weekend of workshops Aged between eight and eighty and dreamt of writing a children’s book? Now’s the time to turn dreams into reality. Award-winning author and illustrator of children’s books, Frane Lessac, will present a weekend of workshops on the art of writing and illustrating picture books in Byron Bay on February 11 and 12 as a guest of the Northern Rivers Writers’ Centre. Frane was born in New Jersey but now lives in Western Australia. Travel is a major source of inspiration for her writing and many of the 25 published children’s books are based on the countries she has visited. Over the years her naïve painting style has captured the simplicity and reality of West Indian, African, Indian and urban American folk cultures and environments. More recently, her work has been inspired by the brilliant blue skies and distinctive red ochre of the Australian outback.

Better global understanding is something she cares about and Frane’s aim is always, she says, ‘to portray the people of these countries to children in a sensitive, accurate and educational way’. A dynamic presenter, Frane brings a wealth of experience and a range of valuable display material to share with her students; drafts, sketches, photographs, research notes, printers’ proofs and original artwork to convey the origins and inspirations of creating a picture book. Her students become involved in the whole proc-

ess of writing and illustrating books from the development of an idea through to the finished product. All in a day, Frane aims at getting students to draw on their resources to start working from roughs and drafts through to a piece of creative writing, illustration, and book creation. Saturday’s adult workshop on February 11, entitled Creating Multicultural Picture Books For Children, encourages participants to bring along a folktale and get practical ideas to develop, plan and edit their own book. Frane will assist them to research their subject and create cultural authenticity. They will learn about storyboards, dummy books, page layout, illustration techniques and mediums. This will be a productive workshop for anyone interested in writing and/ or illustrating for children. On Sunday February 12, a lively workshop for young people aged eight and over will kick off the Northern Riv-

ers Writers’ Centre new junior membership offer. Entitled Make Your Own Picture Book, this workshop is an exciting opportunity for young storytellers to meet and work with an award-winning artist and writer. Put on your old clothes and prepare to get dirty, this is a hands-on encounter with paper, pens and paint that has participants designing and working on their very own book. Both workshops will be held at the Byron Bay Beach Resort on Bayshore Drive from 10am to 4pm. The cost for the Saturday adult workshop is $45 for NRWC members and $60 for non-members. The cost for the Sunday young people’s workshop is $25 for NRWC junior members and $40 for non-members. Numbers are limited and early bookings are essential. For bookings and information call NRWC on 6685 5115.

A mad sweet genius is gone to the sea

,IGHT UP YOUR LIFE WITH AN !#% #/523%

A friend pays tribute to Lawson Jones, who drowned at Tallow Beach last week. Lives change every day, in ways most extraordinary. A year ago the tsunami came out of nowhere and created havoc in innumerable lives. Just like that. Whole communities were destroyed and lives altered forever. We thought about the bravery of those bewildered souls left behind when yesterday we lost our dear friend Lawson Jones in the surf at Tallows Beach. One minute he was on the beach, propped up on his beachtowel, chatting merrily about his new teeth and future plans to teach in Japan, and half hour later he lay on the shore, pulled in from the waves where he drowned. Just like that. He was a good swimmer, loved the surf and acting on mad impulses, and his run to the dangerous rough waves yesterday was entirely in character. Then the ocean took him. Only two weeks before, on NewYears Day, he had stood at the exact same point to throw owers into the water for the goddess of the sea Iemanja with our Brazilian friend Lia. He loved that. Lawson was a man who loved the mysteries of spiritual worlds, with a fascination for the benevolent dark side of the spiritual realm. He had the soul of a goth but loved wearing yellows, orange and green, ever contradictory. He loved H P Lovecraft, Edgar Allen Poe, Oscar Wilde and writers of surreal and morbid fantasy and loved decorating rooms with vines and creepers and bizarre flowers. Vampire movies were the only ones

, he considered worth watching and gory horror made him laugh, long after others had left the room, shaking. Such was his sense of humour that I had one nanosecond of hope that he was just kidding when we pulled him from the water‌ playing a macabre joke. Like no other, he had about him the way of a beautiful moth. His dance, his way of talking and moving about was a spectacle of uttering arms and feet and devious cheeky face. He was a dark and brilliant writer and noone but he could or would have perpetrated the scam that had readers and indeed the editors of The Echo sucked in a year ago with the Great Norfolk Pine debate in which he spoke eloquently of the inherited hatred of Norfolk

Pines dating back to his Uncle Bullfinch, incarcerated in the 19th century for twenty years in a stone box with nothing to look at but Norfolk Pines and the ensuing letter from ďŹ ctional sister Gitta Jones excusing the excesses of her mad brother Lawson, last of a long line of mad males (letters pages, December 7 and 14, 2004). He grew up in industrial Port Pirie and left early to seek out his destiny in Adelaide then Melbourne. He lived the St Kilda life to its extremes as a younger man, before ďŹ nally visiting Byron Bay for a week’s holiday with his partner Leon and staying six years. Here he found like-minded souls and expanded on many of the ideas that he had been formulating and reading about for years. He moved to

the rock houses in Huonbrook and read books and revelled in his isolation. His enduring love for Leon remained as strong as ever even though they parted last year. Though Leon is now in Melbourne they maintained a constant dialogue and were two complementary but very different halves of a whole. Then they created new lives as individuals, and allowed their love to exist independently. Even as I write this I can feel Lawson behind me, laughing at the sentimentality of this spiel. He was a man apart, there’ll never be another one unless the spirit of old Uncle BullďŹ nch stirs once more and the heavens throw out a new mad sweet genius a little like the one we have just lost. Vale Lawson, beloved.

Why it’s worth writing a letter – new competition For many, email and mobile phone communication have become everyday events. But life requires balance. For some the humble letter has taken a bit of a tumble during this era of modern technology. To highlight the fun of receiving letters, International Pen Friends (IPF) has recently launched its ďŹ rst letter writing competition based on the theme: ‘In this era of instantaneous communication, I am writing to tell you why it’s worth waiting for a letter.’ There are four different age group categories for prizes (8-14 years; 15-20 years; 21-60 years and 61 years and over), with prizes ranging from US$25US$100. There is also a separate prize group category for students (from 10-17 years) who join IPF through its school class service, with

prizes ranging from US$25US$100 for the winning students, and prizes from US$75-US$250 for the schools of winning students. Julie Delbridge, IPF’s President said: ‘IPF receives a huge amount of feedback from people regarding their experiences of writing and receiving letters, including school teachers who incorporate the pen friend hobby into their language and cultural studies classes. ‘There are many positive aspects of written communication that cannot be

gained through speedy electronic communication. The competition is designed to be a celebration of those positive aspects and to promote both child and adult literacy skills.’ Entry is free to everyone who has a current IPF membership, including people who join IPF before the competition’s closing date of 31 July 31. 2006. Full details and entry form can be found at IPF’s web site www.ipf.net.au, or by sending a stamped selfaddressed envelope to: Inter-

national Pen Friends, PO Box 156, Suffolk Park, NSW 2481. IPF was founded in 1967 with the aim of promoting worldwide peace and friendship through sincere correspondence. Since then, IPF has provided over 1.5 million people aged from 880+ with pen friends. IPF also publishes a full colour magazine that is available by subscription. Julie Delbridge ďŹ rst joined IPF as a teenager in 1979 when the club was based in Dublin, Ireland. Subsequently, Julie has written to over 30 pen friends and travelled around the world from the Seychelles to USA to meet many of them. In 2001 when the club’s Founder, Neil O’Donnell, retired, Julie went to Ireland and took over IPF, bringing it to Melbourne and subsequently to its current home in Byron Bay.

Getting an iDEA of iOTA in the shadows. He’s singing softly to himself, taking in the ambience of a midnight stroll by Sydney’s famed harbour. This is his favourite place at night: stripped of the glamour that daylight brings, iOTA admits to being smitten with the late night cocktail of danger and beauty of the place and the people who go about their rather seedy business. He admits that that’s part of the inspiration behind his latest album ‘Tomboy’. ‘It’s kind of the theme behind the album, the dark city and the romance behind it. I like being down at the harbour at night. It has a beautiful dark feel to it.’ There is something of the wandering musical mystic in iOTA who is one of those remarkable people who seem to be able to ďŹ nd the awe and wonder in even the tragic. It’s broken poetry for the soul. ‘There’s this one song I really like it’s called Handle on It and it’s about two young punks in love

there’s that jangly guitar thing, which has that atmosperic Churchie ring to it.’ The album is yet to hit the market with iOTA considering the options of just how Tomboy is going to look. To date he’s always been very involved in the design process as ‘I feel it’s just as important as writing a song. It has to look a certain way. It sort of tunes people up to how

hanging out on the streets and hanging out by the harbour and they’re drug fucked and going nowhere, it’s really tragic but there’s something romantic about it as well.’ In crafting his latest album, iOTA has taken on a bit of a style change that should see Tomboy as quite a departure from the acoustic rootsiness of La Caravana. This time ‘Mr i’ decided to relinquish the role of producer and allow himself to slip back into the musician’s chair. ‘I met with Tim Powles who plays with the Church. He has produced the album. I just really liked him, we really got on. It is extremely important for me to be able to trust the producer – I co-produced the last two albums and I didn’t want to be so involved this time. I was actually quite willing to let it go – it was quite liberating to drop that and made for a more relaxed situation. All I did was write and sing.’ ‘I wanted to get away from the acoustic thing – so we have gone for a lot of electrics, occasionally

not something that gets turned on or off, it buzzes along on its own continuum. ‘It happens constantly. I am lucky enough to be able to do what I want – just play music, it can happen anytime. I walked up Oxford street this morning and got something in my head watching workers crack the street open – it’s how you express it – you could sit and stare at the carpet long

‘I like a bit of danger... although I haven’t been down to Cronulla Beach lately...’ they are going to hear you.’ So what are your favourite album sleeves or CD covers of all time? ‘Jane’s Addiction’s Ritual album is a great cover, Physical GrafďŹ ti by Led Zepplin... I’ve heard people say the White album actually sounds white...’ For iOTA, the writing process is

enough and still get something (probably a song about carpet... call call carpet call) – inspiration is everywhere.’ So why does a bloke call an album something like ‘Tomboy’ – conjuring an image of a grubby kneed girl collecting worms? ‘It means like I like boy things – I’m a boy

with feminine qualities who enjoys boy things, like climbing trees and jumping out of aeroplanes, I like a bit of danger...although I haven’t been down to Cronulla Beach lately...’ iOTA feeling a little iRONIC. I don’t know why, I suddenly felt compelled to get a bit Crossing Over. So I ask ‘Do you think about death much and how you’d like to be sent off?’ ‘All the time. I think I’d like to be burnt. Well you still need to be put in a box. It does seem terribly wasteful.’ iOTA ďŹ nishes with one fabulous idea for a spectacular send off. ‘I’d like to be burnt on a pyre and use it for my ďŹ nal ďŹ lm clip with all my friends around.’ God that would be one hell of a clip.

There is nothing more refreshing than a long cool dip in the ocean. Only last week I slipped into the icy cold waters of Bondi along with about 2000 others. I ignored the slick of sunscreen, which forms like milk skin on most of the crowded suburban beaches, the plastic bags that wash up like imposter jellyďŹ sh and the acres of perfect tits, some given by God, others from parents as a the ultimate gift for the 18 year old who has everything, (except a brain, and sadly these can’t be plumped up all pouty and shiny with a couple of neat injections). I marvelled at the woman who must be pushing 60 in nothing but a tiny black g-string. Breasts long and pendulous, butt-brown and leathery with a slight droop, a cigarette burning close to her lip. Shit that takes balls. Smoking on the beach is illegal. There’s no fat people at Bondi. Every second person you meet is rushing off to their next Pilates class. Pilates has become very popular amongst the beautiful people, who seem even more gorgeous, if not slightly more frozen looking than ever. Pill – lattes – drop an eckie, drink a latte. The next day I’m sitting in a coffee shop reading the Sunday Telegraph. AIright, I’ll admit I was a bit hungover and just looking at the pictures. There was a beautiful pickie of Bondi swimmers, I think I even picked out my cleavage in the crowd. Hang on. I think that’s two bald men. No, there I am, in my black g-string smoking a ciggie. Eek! Apparently Bondi failed the water test. As did a lot of Sydney Beaches. A lagoon in Manly was reported to have 168 times the acceptable limit of faecal matter. I didn’t even know there was an acceptable level of faeces one could safely freestyle in. Why have a city perched on the seashore if you’re going to ďŹ ll it full of shit? Who was the genius who came up with the brilliant idea of pumping poo into the sea? Human waste doesn’t magically disappear once it hits the deep blue. The ďŹ sh must be furious. The ocean isn’t

a big blue mat to hide your dirty secrets under, it’s a bloody amazing ecosystem. For our ďŹ nned friends, its their very own water world. But why stop at the ocean? Why not just stick a dirty great big pipe into the rainforest and pump it in there. Why not just cut out the middle man and take a dump in the surf? And hey, now they’re suggesting a desalination project to boost water supplies. Try an oldfashioned Main Arm composting toilet you poo pumping yuppies. No water needed. No water wasted. Better still eat white bread and you may never need to go again. When are people going to learn: you can’t keep pumping your crap into the sea. Just because you’re underwater, it doesn’t mean your shit doesn’t stink.

ii FRANKIE GOES TO

GOT A LITTLE DEEPER

BOLLYWOOD

The East Coast Blues and Roots Festival have just added some more names to their Easter event. The spunky Bernard Fanning joins the lineup, hot on the heels of his solo release ‘ Tea and Sympathy’. Jackson Browne is also heading this way. A man who over the course of three decades has written and performed some of the most literate and moving songs in popular music. The two piece: ‘The Black Keys’ are a power packed duo. These nerdy looking boys create a noise of unbelievable size. They play fuzzed out guitar and scratch and howl and growl. It’s unadulterated and pure and raw in the Iggy Pop and the Stooges sense of the word. Also coming are Femi Kuti, Martha Wainwright, Xavier Rudd, Roy Rogers and the Delta Rhythm Kings, and Doba Caracol. To get tix for this Easter Event: www.bluesfest.com.au or call 66858310

Well, actually not Bollywood, but the Byron Community Centre. The Frankie Band have been getting runs on

the past few years. LABJACD who pronounce their name lab jacked, describe themselves as somewhere between Ozomatli and Medeski, Martin and Wood and take their influences from a variety of sources. There’s elements of music from South and Central America, old-school hip hop

the spicy rhythms from the Balkans, the romanticism of Eastern Europe and dashes of Latin to create a musical alchemy that has punters simply begging for more or just plain begging to get in. Nadya, is the daughter of an Australian artist mother and an Eastern European father. She sings the

ii PUTTING ON THE BILLI Who needs Tamworth when you’ve got the annual Australia Day shindig at the Billinudgel Hotel on the National Big Day Off, Australia Day? Superbly curated by Lyn (Jezebel’s Fortune) Davies and partner Grant Robertson, the cast includes old time local country artist Stan Cetlinski, The Bongo Boys all the way from Byron Bay, Mary Loves to Yip Yah (Lyn and Grant are joined by Terry Demunga, Tom Cuyler and Rick), with special guests Tinny Ray Tam (definitely out of a more avant-garde genie’s bottle) and Ques. The music kicks off around 1pm in the delightful Billi beer garden and wraps around 6.30pm. It’s a free event and family-friendly. Be there on Thursday.

ii PLANTING THE The John Butler Seed Program are canvassing the country once again with their Seed Program. This multi-media funding program looks at funding a variety of artists and their projects. This is such an inspirational program that even Missy Higgins has chucked some cash in the coffers. She says: ‘There should be more grant programs like the JB Seed. Our country is bursting with talented, creative minds that aren’t able to express themselves because they don’t have the means to. I’m eternally thankful for my leg-up into the industry, and I’m proud to be supporting a fund that offers the same chance to other artists.’ The Categories include Social Activism Through The Arts Program: In light of recent intolerance shown towards the Muslim community, another priority under this program is arts projects that encourage respect and understanding of our cultural diversity, particularly focusing on the rights of Australians of Middle-Eastern descent to maintain their cultural and religious practices. Projects should aim to further assist the wider community to understand and embrace the rich cultural diversity of all Australians. A Professional and Skills Development Program to assist musicians and technicians in enhancing their skills and an Indigenous touring program for musicians with a recorded product who wish to engage a broader audience. There is also a Publicity and Marketing program and a management Workshop available. If you are interested in contributing to The JB Seed Fund please contact Danielle via The JB Seed website – go to www. thejbseed.com and then to the contributors page. Expressions of interest are currently being accepted and close on Wednesday March 8, 2006. For further information, interested applicants should please check the web site www.thejbseed.com and go to the categories page.

It’s been a rollercoaster ride that has seen them gain in momentum and strength all the way, scoring a support with local guru Kurtis at the Lennox Hotel and again at the Hotel Great Northern in February with a Melbourne band who saw them play in St Kilda.

Melbourne Street Press, Beat Magazine described their music as ‘funky latino beats, and bitten off, yet cruisy as hell lyrics, all making for a sweet groove-a-thon of mammoth proportions. Makes me want to grow a pencil moustache and finally prove my swarthy Latin charm.’ They perform at the Beach Hotel on Friday 3 February. This week though, don’t miss Blue King

ii NADYA RETURNS No-one holds a candle to Nadya. In fact, it takes 101 candles to get near the light this girl emanates. She brings

exotic twists and turns of her life through her music. As a child she sang along with the old songs of her Polish father and Jewish grandmother, beside the campfires of coastal Australia. At a young age Nadya, together with the family, set out on a two-year field trip which had them living in an isolated mountain village in the wilds of the Papua New Guinea Highlands. Nadya’s early teenage years were spent singing along with the village teenagers as they chanted their improvised flirting stories to the musical accompaniment of the sounds of the forest and the rushing of the mountain river. As a young adult she left for Poland, the country of her father, to sing with Gardzenice, an avante-garde theatre company. The Company toured the villages of eastern Poland, performing and collecting songs and myths for their creative venture. For Nadya the tour of the villages stirred vibrant memories both of her life in the New Guinea Highlands and of her singing, story-telling father and grandmother. Nadya then went to Paris, joined an acting school, L’ecole le Coq, immediately picked up French and started to exercise her performance talent in the small bars of the great city, as the vocalist with a group of local jazz musicians. Musicians of the 101 Candles Orkestra are from diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds, and their performances express the purity and integrity of musical traditions steeped in old cultures, handed down from generation to generation (mostly from Eastern Europe), combining to form an eclectic, diasporic sound. Both her gypsy albums are multilingual, sung in English, Polish, Bosnian, Macedonian, French, Spanish and Romany. On stage, Nadya and her 101 Candles Orkestra create a rapturous ‘experience’ of gypsy music and passion, a wild celebration of the world as

This Thursday at sunset, one of Byron’s favourite home grown products, Wild Marmalade – ‘duo edition’ gets restocked for weekly display at the Buddha Bar terrace. Wild Marmalade are an innovative high energy Australian dance act playing didgeridoo, percussion and drums to create totally live organic dance music. Wild Marmalade – duo will feature two of the band’s virtuoso players. Their cutting edge sound arises from the conjunction of Si’s percus-

sive didgeridoo playing with the explosive grooves of the Mat Ledgar and each week the band will invite guest percussionists to join them on stage. This is original Australian dance music at its wildest. By using only real instruments with astonishing skill, without any effects or samples, Wild Marmalade meld the ancient sounds of the didgeridoo with contemporary techno rhythms to create fresh vibrant dance music characterised by blitzing tempos and tasty grooves. Drawing on rhythms from all over the world and inspired by both indigenous sounds and the grooves of the present, Wild Marmalade’s high energy shows uplift audiences with their display of powerful, joyous and infectiously danceable music. Wild Marmalade will be followed by the infectious beats of DJ Dave Basek, entry is free.

ii KOK AND KOLL The bold electo-pop band Kolliope are back at the Buddha Bar this Saturday, to kick-off the new year with songs from their debut album ‘Oracles & Glands’ and to celebrate its being chosen as this week’s featured ‘Album of the Week’ in nationally famous 3D World street mag! There is more to celebrate, as the intrepid duo have also just learned that they are now being played regularly on PBS Radio in Melbourne! News of their very unique and vibrant live performance style will be taking them South to Sydney soon as well...

itticism

Unlike most ‘isms’ which are concepts descriptive of an act, or philosophical movements, witticism is an actual thing, even though you can’t touch or feel it. You just know it when it happens to you and then it’s gone. You can try to share it, but since wit is an intellectual humour which manipulates concepts and is generally spontaneous,

you ‘have to be there’ at the time, so wit suffers when relayed on. Oscar Wilde became so well known for his barbed and clever witticisms that the sayings of others were often attributed to him. Just a month before his death Wilde is quoted as saying, ‘My wallpaper and I are fighting a duel to the death. One or other of us has got to go’. The wallpaper won.

J MAJIK i J Majik began producing Drum n’ Bass at the tender age of 14 to now become one of the UK’s top D n’ B producers. He can mix, produce bangin’ tracks and plays a mean game of scrabble so I decided to ask him a few quick questions before his gig in Byron. You started producing quite young, at 14 with Goldie and the Metalheads crew. How was it producing in the early days and hanging out with those guys?

When I ďŹ rst got into production I was like a lot of kids, wanting to be a DJ, and to me people like Goldie who picked up my ďŹ rst track, were a massive help and it was great having the support of the whole crew of people at the reinforced label. I was looking up to people like Manic, 4 Hero and Goldie and to have them interested in my music was really a massive boost It made me want to work harder, to make tracks that they’d play or the DJs at the time would look at.

DANCINĂ• NIGHTS

At stage they probably weren’t all that big, they were all starting out as well. Yeah, and obviously there was a whole buzz going around with what was going on with myself, Dillinja, Photek and Peshay. At the same time the whole metalheads sound was what the media was loving so it was a really great time to be making music and a great time to be getting into it. We were all vibing off each other so it was really really cool. Producing drum’n’bass goes hand in hand with new technology, was it much different writing drum’n’bass 10 years ago? Yeah, really different from today because we’d do most of the stuff on outboard gear, you’d set up keyboards and a lot of live instruments whereas today you can pretty much sample everything. In terms of the sample lengths we used to have maybe nine or ten seconds as actual sample lengths and then try and manipulate those samples. Whereas today you don’t even think about what you sample or worry about have I got enough time in the Akai memory, so you were limited but I think at the same time because you were limited

you had to work a little bit harder with what you had. So it all kind of evens out. It’s deďŹ nitely different these days production-wise because you can virtually do everything inside a computer, you can move around more, you can load a track up, work on it and put it to bed for a month while working on other tracks. Whereas when we were doing it back in the day you had the stuff mixed out of the mixer and you’d stay with the track until it was ďŹ nished and then move onto the next track. Now I think it is a bit easier, you can work on different tracks at one time and you’ve got your mixer in the computer. It was very different I think from today but it’s all kind of an evolution that obviously has

ii CONJURING: GOING MENTAL The Space Cowboy’s incredible performances push the boundaries of the human mind and the psychical body. He has performed in 27 countries in the last eleven years, amazing audiences in theatres, stadiums, festivals, and on numerous TV shows. With his unique use of psychology, perceptual manipulation, thought reading and extreme stunts, The Space Cowboy’s amazing performances have captivated millions! He draws pictures from people’s minds, bends spoons in their hands and swallows glass neon tubes that shine through his skin from the inside. His one-hour performance is jam packed with incredible stunts, and unusual displays of the mind’s potential. He describes himself as a ‘mentalist’. That doesn’t mean I’m crazy! I use different techniques to manipulate people’s thoughts and actions – I’m like a magician, instead of conjuring I use tricks to highlight my effects... I draw pictures of what people think about – I can control your pulse. It’s just suggestion techniques and beliefs to make it really happen.’ After three sell out shows last week he returns for two shows, Thursday and Friday at the Byron Community Centre at 8.30pm Tix at the box ofďŹ ce: 6685 5659. $18/12.

ii FESTIVAL: COLOUR YOUR WORLD WITH SUNSHINE In light of the recent racial violence in Sydney, it’s refresh-

ing to see Byron’s take on all things diverse and harmonious. With multi-culturism as the theme for ‘Colours of the World’ festival make yourself ready for a feast of cultural expression through art, dance and music. Bundjalung elder Bucky Robinson is opening the ceremony and his colleague Steve Fitzgerald will have a few words to say about the

to happen. At the moment you’re touring through Australia. Where else are you touring, you’ve probably been around the world by now? Yeah, the drum’n’bass thing, what’s so cool about it is that it’s in so many different countries‌ For example, in the last three or four years places like Yugoslavia, Russia, Hungary, all these places in Eastern Europe have really blown up. So along with the American scene and the healthy Australian scene, I’ve been pretty much everywhere. I’m going to Japan on the way back from here, I go there every year at this time. There’s a pretty good scene in a lot of countries where you wouldn’t even have expected them to have heard of drum’n’bass, big Russian towns ďŹ ve hours from Moscow who have got their own little scene and maybe two nights in a week radio stations supporting it. Is it very different the scene in Russia or Japan? Yeah it was years ago, I think it was more different then, when you’d go to places and you’d be one of the ďŹ rst international people over there and there wasn’t the internet and there wasn’t the connection

between the western world and what’s going on in their country. Now with the internet everyone is so clued up on what they’re likely to hear even before the DJ comes. How’s Infrared Records going, the label you started? Infrared has been going since 1993-94 and we’re onto our 37th release now. It started off as just an outlet when I was doing the metalheads stuff, to put my slightly more diverse music out. Being in the scene and being friends with a lot of other artists has in the end turned the label into one with a lot of different artists recording on it, which has been really cool. We’re really just keeping it underground and it’s still going from strength to strength. What sort of stuff do you think you’ll play on Thursday night? Well I like the drum’n’bass I play to be energetic, I don’t necessarily go dark or veer to one kind of style, I try and play a bit of everything but as long as it’s got an energetic vibe and it’s still serious I’m in it. I’m not into one style, I like to try and play a bit of everything.

MOVIEREVIEWS KISS KISS BANG BANG

GOOD NIGHT AND GOOD LUCK

Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang (like Pulp Fiction before it) doesn’t just understand movie violence as a pop cultural form but plays it like a virtuoso violinist. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, from writer-director Shane Black, is his directorial debut. This manic tribute to ďŹ lm noir, starring a wackily inspired Robert Downey Jr, is his breath-stealing, riff-running, ever-escalating piece de resistance. Downey plays two-bit burglar Harry Lockhart, whose bizarre luck takes him from a botched East Village robbery into the fear-and-loathing underbelly of Hollywood, where he’s astounded to ďŹ nd himself a contender for an acting role. This is just the beginning of worse and better to come: Harry’s caught in a double-crossing, life-threatening web of complications involving aspiring starlet and former high school crush Harmony Faith Lane (Michelle Monaghan), a detectivecum-movie-adviser called Gay Perry (a zesty Val Kilmer) and all manner of business-dealing, moviemaking and gun-toting scum. The story’s just a conduit, however, for lethal, black humor: the movie’s also inventive and funny. You get a lot of smart bang-bang for your buck. Ross Goode

Black-and-white lends authenticity to a ďŹ lm (eg, Schindler’s List) while also enabling it to seamlessly incorporate archival footage, a device used here with TV extracts inserted from the 1950s anti-Communist hearings of the odious Senator Joe McCarthy. Edward R Murrow and his crew at CBS swam against the tide of paranoia that was sweeping away America’s ideals of justice. ’The terror is in this room,’ the chain-smoking broadcaster warned - a disarming and dreadfully relevant comment in the context of today’s political climate. Shot almost entirely in the claustrophobic ofďŹ ces and studio where Murrow worked, (there are no outdoor scenes), George Clooney’s movie is terse, idealistic, complemented by the coolest jazz and awlessly acted - though nobody plays McCarthy. He is allowed to condemn himself from his own mouth. Its artistic merit is indisputable but it is just as praiseworthy for the way in which it speaks to us now. Murrow quotes Shakespeare in laying the blame for xenophobia, intolerance and abuse of power squarely where it belongs; ‘the fault is in ourselves.’ Last week in Australia a man was gaoled for burning the ag.

Cinema can never be one-on-one like a novel, and nor does it try. Rob Marshall, director of the high-camp Chicago, might not have been many readers’ choice to adapt for the screen Arthur Golden’s intensely private, almost whispered remembrances of the geisha Sayuri. Time and place (pre WWII Japan) is beautifully created, often with the feel of a pageant, and, if the book’s bittersweet elegiac tone is lost, faith is maintained with the basic narrative. Covering a long period, it is unavoidably episodic and at ďŹ rst unsettled, wanting to get to the tale of love that is at its heart without being able to sacriďŹ ce essential back-story (in which Suzuka Ohgo as the little girl is terriďŹ c). The problem lies with casting two Chinese actresses in the leading roles and not having them speak their native tongue. Ziyi Zhang is gorgeous as Sayuri, but she struggles to express the psychology and emotional depth of her character and an overwrought Gong Li, whose spiteful Hatsumomo is arguably the more interesting of the two women, simply cannot act in English. Alluring without achieving the alchemy of Golden’s writing. John Campbell

Raoul Duke: We had two bags of grass, seventy-ďŹ ve pellets of mescaline, ďŹ ve sheets of highpowered blotter acid, a saltshaker half-full of cocaine, and a whole multi colored collection of uppers, downers, laughers, screamers... Also, a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether, and two dozen amyls. Not that we needed all that for the trip, but once you get into a serious drug collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge, and I knew we’d get into that rotten stuff pretty soon. - Fear and loathing in Las Vagas

With this week’s Sun joining Mercury, Neptune and Chiron in the sign of the visionary Waterpourer, the words of great Scottish Aquarian Robbie Burns are not inappropriate: When first the human race began, The social, friendly, honest man‌’Tis he fulfils great Nature’s plan. Though political correctness isn’t looking big on the week’s agenda‌

GEMINI: Geminis can generally drum up money just like that, but this week it mightn’t seem so easy. An ambitious project turns out to be wildly expensive – is it really worth it? Or are wild ideas leading you towards carelessness and the mistake-prone zone? CANCER: This week’s Aquarian star scenario is guaranteed to winkle Cancerians out of their comfy rut. Before you start panicking, all that’s being asked is that you do at least one new and different thing each day – how hard could that be? LEO: Aquarian writer Virginia Woolf advised: Let us not take it for granted that life exists more fully in what is commonly thought big than in what is commonly thought small. And unless you’re careful this week, little things could cause problems out of all proportions to their size.

SCORPIO: This week’s frenetic, electric energies make maintaining a positive mental attitude absolutely essential, so stay calm, unfrazzled and as stable as you’re able to. Don’t get hooked into someone else’s bad mood or pessimistic viewpoint. Focus on good news, avoid the dark side. SAGITTARIUS: Four planets in Aquarius make this one of the year’s most contradictory periods, but with a major potential for group healing. Accepting its vagaries with good grace could open a window of opportunity for a healing reconciliation – or at least a ceasefire of hostilities. CAPRICORN: This week’s quite likely to hit Capricornworld with something completely unexpected, a wham bam out of the blue opulent offer, sudden retraction, promising start, arbitrary ending, change of direction‌ Nothing you can control either – you just have to work with it.

VIRGO: A good week to book in for a body service ARIES: You precocious, and tuneup. And if accepted impatient mob could run into medical practices raise problems if you push things doubts, it’s also an too fast in their early stages astrologically auspicious time this week. Projects expanded for exploring new ways of too quickly could collapse wellness in keeping with suddenly. Even just refraining current times and conditions from making assumptions and – rather than getting taking life step by step will spooked by pandemic health majorly upgrade your week. terrorism.

AQUARIUS: Aquarians are specialists in the sudden move at the unexpected moment – which can make others nervous, never knowing what to expect. Sharing your feelings and intentions will make intimacy much more available – and satisfying – this week. And happy birthday‌

TAURUS: This is the time the ancient world honoured Hathor, Egypt’s Venus – queen of heaven, love and beauty – and your planetary ruler. This week’s energy definitely needs grounding, so do your Tauran love thing by making life beautiful, sensual and harmonious for everyone around you.

PISCES: Anyone trying to change you this week won’t get far – they’ll just have to accept you the way you are: as someone who needs to live by their own rules, act on their own instincts and learn from their own experiences. If you’ve been angsting over a decision, this week makes it for you.

ii YOU WANNA INDIGO? The indigo craze has swept the shire. Suddenly our children are purple and don’t dig queues. I thought I had an indigo child, but then I realised she was just holding her breath. Tix for the screening of Indigo 2 at the Hotel on Monday. Email me, subject header ‘indigo child’

LIBRA: If you’re looking for a dose of stimulation this week, you’re better off generating it yourself. Freshen up the Life Of Libra – revamp the work environment, do a wardrobe makeover, give your romantic life a bit of spritz, take a holiday somewhere off the beaten track‌

ii HANKY PANKY ii FREE COLOUR

FRANKIE

I have a pass to the Colours of the World Festival at the Byron Community Centre for Saturday. Just thought I’d tell you that. Alright, if you want it email me, subject header ‘You don’t look 38, you’re beautiful & youthful’

The Frankie Band have some EP’s to give away to coincide with their launch at the Byron Community Centre on Sunday. We also have some very funky peaked caps. Email with the subject header ‘Thank me Frankie’.

In the red

Ho r a t i o Bi t e m a r k

The rain came just in time; the last of our iceberg had run out and we needed some other form of relief from the summer heat. The Myocum clubhouse, as you know, sits atop an imposing hill. We relaxed on the deck as the rain beat down and watched with interest as, far below us, the Myocum Road went under water in several places. Kombis oated gently into paddocks and the stunned occupants fell under the gaze of curious cows. Abbotsleigh, who had been partying on the Gold Coast, attempted to reach the clubhouse at 3am in the height of the storm and found himself ushed into a drain off the highway at Tyagarah and into the labyrinthine depths of Mullumbimby’s stormwater system, discovering a lost Viking longboat on his way to being sluiced into the Brunswick near Federation Bridge. There were some fears that the club helicopter might not be able to get through with supplies – these proved unfounded – so Chef made sure that the alcoholic beverages were extended in case of an emergency. This was done simply by infusing vodka into a sugar syrup. The Myocum Inundation Infusion, based on instructions from the online Miss Cocktail, is made thus: take fresh fruit and cut it into manageable pieces. Fill a jar about halfway full of fruit then ďŹ ll remainder with vodka, leaving some space at the top for breathing. Let it sit at room temperature for about a week. The sugar syrup to accompany it is made by mixing half a cup of water and one cup of sugar over heat and stirring until sugar is completely dissolved. Mix the syrup and the vodka infusion together. Go wild if you like – that is the club spirit after all – and experiment with also mixing in herbs, vanilla extract or citrus fruit for a sweet and sour. The daring might also include hot peppers. For a jolly decent Bloody Mary, rim a glass with garlic and salt and top it with a sprig of basil. This was the suggestion of the divine Miss Cosford, who often visits Chef to swap recipes over a bottle or two of Salitage. Chef also invented the Myocum Chaps Delight to pass time in the deluge: one part vodka infusion, one part tequila, and a good dash of soda water poured over crushed

ice, all garnished with a mint leaf and a little shredded chocolate, reminiscent of the chocolate martini introduced to the Shire by dish restaurant. ‘This is vastly superior to our encampment among oodwaters near the Limpopo in 1989,’ noted Tosser Digby, pausing to remove a mosquito from his hunter’s vest. ‘There we had to purify groundwater with sulphur, add a tiny dash of Gilbeys Gin and a slither of the local mushroom which, fortunately, proved to be entheogenic. Sadly we lost Sally Tangerine-Dreme when she imagined herself to be a canoe and plunged into the great green greasy river. Croc got her.’ ‘Speaking of entheogens, Dr Albert Hofmann turned 100 the other week,’ I said, ‘proving that the judicious use of mind-expanding substances is no barrier to longevity.’ ‘Ah,’ replied Bosworth, ‘one could hardly accuse us of being experts in judicious use. But seeing that many among us are in their ďŹ fties and sixties, the damage cannot be too bad. Witness also that Mr Keith Richards is still alive, if carefully embalmed.’ ‘Surely it is the quality rather than the quantity,’ noted Digby. ‘Better to burn out than rust out.’ At this stage the skies parted and our Sikorsky S-92 landed on the helipad next to the trufe paddock and the valets collected a dozen boxes of PaciďŹ c Tollway Collective Spleen Cabernet Sauvignon. Far below us, a herd of Kombi drivers began to forage prematurely among the cowpats for the district’s famous Copelandia cyanescens.

A kingly herb

Federal

Vi c t o r i a C o s f o rd It is a symbol of love in Italy, yet in ancient Greece represented hatred. In European folktales it may symbolise Satan, and in Africa is considered protection against scorpions. This is basil, regarded by many as the king of herbs; in fact, its name derives from the Greek meaning ‘king’ or ‘royal’. Bunches of it as big as bouquets call out to me from market stalls all summer long. Summersmell. Licorice and spices. The vibrant green leaves asking to be arranged against deep red tomatoes and snowy white mozzarella, the colours of Italian ags, for the famous Caprese salad. In fact it was originally native to tropical Asia, and characterises as many Thai and Vietnamese dishes as it does Mediterranean. Not to mention Indonesian and Chinese. Elizabeth David describes how it â€˜ďŹ lls the kitchen with a quite violently rich spice smell...’ and Marcella Hazan its fragrance as ‘never more seductive than when it is raw’. My most ungreen ďŹ ngers mean that all attempts at growing basil in small windowsill pots have failed miserably – and yet how I would love to be able to pluck at will a handful of its leaves to strew throughout a salad. The varieties of basil sound like a poem: cinnamon, clove and camphor, lettuce leaf, licorice and lemon, purple and holy. Holy basil may repel mosquitoes, and is used to prepare holy water in the Greek Orthodox church. Its leaves are said to aid digestion, and wine extracted from them to

be both a tonic and an aphrodisiac. Leaves which bruise easily, like soft esh. Unless you are making a chiffonade of basil – a ďŹ nely-shredded garnish – it is best to simply tear it up. It blackens quickly, and a freshlymade pesto or its French equivalent pistou should always be protected by a ďŹ lm of olive oil, to keep the green intense. (Lemon juice will do this too, though introduces a chord of inauthenticity). So many things to do with basil, because of its compatability with so many foods, the obvious ones: tomatoes, zucchini, eggplant and capsicum. Chilli and garlic, parsley and mint. Fresh cheeses. Fish like tuna, swordďŹ sh, mussels and prawns, octopus, calamari and cuttleďŹ sh. Pinenuts and walnuts and coconut milk. Poach salmon ďŹ llets in a court bouillon then serve with a dollop of softened unsalted butter into which you have pounded a cup of basil leaves and a squeeze of lemon juice. Marinate gutted sole in an emulsiďŹ ed blend of best new olive oil, lemon juice and a shred of basil leaves, strain then bake for ten minutes before pouring over the heated marinade, to which you have added a handful of chopped pinenuts, and leave in the oven for ďŹ ve more minutes. Chop 24 large basil leaves and add to a lemon sorbet mixture before freezing. Marry with strawberries. Bury your nose in its heart. Use it to ward off scorpions, unless, like me, the one you love is one.

AKIMBO IMPORTS

FUNKY MOVES DANCE STUDIO

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.

choose to return their form after the end of the assessment period to make sure they provide correct details of their earnings, however, their payment will be delayed. ‘Centrelink will only advance payments by one working day to minimise the disruption to customers. ‘Customers should be aware the next payment will be paid on their normal payday, so they need to budget carefully to make sure the early payment lasts for an extra day.’ All Centrelink offices and call centres will be closed on Thursday January 26. ■How can you be customer of you have a payday? – Echo query

Sports Roundup with Leonie Jackson

Australian grommets claim titles Train to become a basketball referee NSW Sport and Recreation and the Lismore Basketball Association will hold an accreditation course for upand-coming referees. The one-day course, open to Aboriginal men and women aged 16 years and above, will be held on Saturday February 11 at the Lismore Basketball Stadium, Albert Park, Lismore. The Level 0 accreditation course is the ideal introductory program for players or non-players to learn the basics, have fun and develop the confidence needed to referee competition games. This is the ďŹ rst step towards gaining a referee’s badge.

Queensland’s up-and-coming junior surfers have ended an international onslaught, claiming 5 prestigious titles on ďŹ nals day at the inaugural 2006 Surfing Queensland Grommet Challenge. One hundred male and female junior competitors were reduced to just 28 finalists in multiple divisions. Powerful top-turns, 180 degree-tail slides and full-blown carving rail manoeuvres were showcased as some of the world’s finest grommets went to town on 2 ft punchy left and right handpeaks at Miami beach, Gold Coast.

North Coast Boaters warned to take extra care Boaters should take extra care on waterways on the NSW North Coast during and after the current deluge of rain, NSW Maritime North Coast Regional Manager Jim Green said today. Mr Green said the current downpour had caused waterways to rise all over the North Coast, with oating debris causing an increased risk to boaters. ‘Skippers, and particularly

Byron Bay’s Sol Bailey was super impressive on finals day, snatching a great victory in the under 12 boys division ďŹ nal. The lead changed several times in the closing minutes of the blue ribbon U18 boys final when Coolangatta’s Josh Lee totally outclassed his competitors with a series of powerful backhand turns and lighting-quick re-entries to seal victory. SurďŹ ng with a great sense of ow, Lee Lee was up against some stiff competition from Sunshine Coast’s those who are towing waterskiers, should be careful as the water is quite murky and there is a heightened risk of colliding with semi-submerged objects,’ Mr Green said. ‘It would be advisable for boaters to travel at a reduced speed until after the water levels have dropped.’ Mr Green said boaters should seriously consider the need to cross coastal bars in the current conditions. ‘Conditions on coastal bars will be more dangerous than normal,’ he said. ‘Always check the weather and tides

Harrison Roach coming 2nd, Eli Jacob from Palm Beach 3rd, and Blake Ainsworth from Coolangatta 4th. ‘It’s great to ďŹ nally win an event,’ said a happy Lee. ‘I compete against Eli and Blake a lot, so I’m totally stoked to get one up on them.’ When asked about what tactics he employed for the heat, Lee said ‘Everyone was sitting in the middle of the peak, so I just went and sat by myself. I guess it paid off in the end.’ before attempting to cross a coastal bar, and if in doubt, don’t go out.’ Mr Green also warned that navigation markers may have moved from their intended positions. ‘Our Boating OfďŹ cers have already recovered one channel marker that had shifted signiďŹ cantly from its intended location on the Tweed River.’ Anyone with information about missing or damaged navigation aids, or details of significant hazards, should contact the NSW Maritime Info Line on 131 256.

The course covers all the rules of the game, correct hand signals, court positioning and advice on communicating with players, coaches and ofďŹ cials. Participants will also learn the importance of developing skills such as decisiveness, observation, handling conflict, mediation, teamwork and leadership, as well as the physical skills required for good refereeing. ‘This cour se g ives participants the skills and conďŹ dence to take charge on the court, keep the game owing and make sure that everyone gets the most out of their time on the court,’

Rain slows ďŹ shing down The heavy rain experienced recently slowed down ďŹ shing so much that very few even ventured out of doors, never mind down to the beach or river. However the other side of the rain brings dirty water down the rivers and onto the beaches. This should bring Tailor and Mulloway onto the bite, and Mud Crabs down the creeks. This was evident at Seven Mile Beach early morning when some nice ‘chopper’ Tailor put in an appearance and there were reports of JewďŹ sh from the South Wall and Black Head. In the river, there have been plenty of small Bream from the banks through the CBD, with a few up to 800gm from the hole near the Coastguard Tower. Whiting were fairly plentiful from around Pimlico Island before the “Freshâ€?,

so it will be interesting to see if they return when the water clears up. Drifting the incoming tide along the Porpoise wall seem to have been the best way of picking up a Flathead, although one junior angler landed three from the boatramp in Fisheries Creek. Plenty of Dart and Tarwhine were about off the beaches with fresh prawns the preferred bait for the Tarwhine. The Dart were mostly caught using fresh Pippies, with live worms also being good bait for them. Whiting were mostly fairly small, with an occasional good “keeperâ€?, such as young Jack Kelly took from the Breamhole at Lennox. Offshore ďŹ shing was fairly good when the weather allowed, with Snapper from all the inshore reefs, Mahi Mahi from the buoys, and Pearl

said NSW Sport and Recreation Cluster Coordinator, Karen H owes. ‘With training and experience, beginner referees become better able to read a game and create good game ow. Courses like this can also provide a foundation for future employment in the sports, health and leisure industries,’ she said. Future courses will be conducted to give the participants an opportunity to increase their referee accreditation level. For more information and bookings, phone NSW Sport and Recreation.

Compulsive weather watchers will be interested in the lowdown on the rainfall last week courtesy of the Bureau of Meteorology. The view from Mullumbimby’s Fairview Farm wasn’t that fair last week with 265mm recorded in the 24 hours to 9am Thursday. Over the 48 hour period to 9am Friday Myocum received a drenching 425mm (that’s sixteen and a half inches for the metrically challenged).The extremely helpful folk at the Bureau tell us that the mean rainfall for the month of January is 160mm, although March is usually wetter. In March 1974 Byron Bay received 652mm for the month, the highest monthly rainfall for the town on record. Rainfall was extremely variable throughout the Shire, and indeed throughout individual towns.While the automatic weather station at the Byron Bay Lighthouse was

let off with a mere 200mm for the 48 hour period to 9am Friday, Jacaranda Drive in Sunrise Beach recorded double that amount. Q Q Q Q One of the consequences of the heavy rain was a huge wash-off of sediment and polluted water into the Billinudgel Nature Reserve and wetland system from inadequate control fencing at the Yelgun roadworks site in particular. The RTA and Abigroup must do better to protect the environment under subtropical conditions. Q Q Q Q Following the story in last week’s Echo about AAPT’s questionable marketing techniques, Ellice Rose from Bangalow told us about her experience with the telecommunications company. Having received a call from

4HINKING 2EAL %STATE 4HINK

AAPT last October, Ms Rose said she may be interested in switching from Telstra, however a few days later changed her mind and rang AAPT to tell them. She was informed that was ďŹ ne. However, at the beginning of November she received a bill from AAPT for a service she had never received. She rang them again and was told everything had been ďŹ xed up and no need to pay. The same thing happened in December, and then last week she received another bill including a summons threatening her with legal action. Again, she rang AAPT and was told there was no need to pay, however they couldn’t guarantee she wouldn’t receive any more bills. So make sure you check your bills before you pay. Q Q Q Q Biil Pennington, who wrote us two articles on post-tsunami reconstruction in Aceh, reports

that ‘some action is happening regarding the village of Lampu’uk. Surf Lifesaving in South Australia is donating ags, rescue equipment etc. Some secondhand surfboards have also been collected.’ If anyone in Byron Shire is able to donate old (but still good condition) boogie boards, surfboards or other surďŹ ng paraphenalia, Bill should be able to organise shipping (although if anyone wants to help out there as well‌). Interested people can contact Bill on 6680 4700. Q Q Q Q Greens Senator Bob Brown is launching a bid in the federal Court to protected endangered species against their exemption from protection under the iniquitous Tasmanian Regional Forest Agreement. Hearings continue in Hobart in February and May.You can ďŹ nd out more and perhaps help with the legal costs by logging on to www.bobbrown.org.au.
