Beach protection plan to cost $50 million Lesley Patterson
Out in the waters off Cape Byron lies a huge deposit or lobe of sand. Sand which could be used to solve the erosion problems on the Shire’s coastline, according to a new report commissioned by Byron Shire Council. Property at Belongil and New Brighton are both at short term risk of serious erosion, if or rather when, stormy seas hit the Shire. Initially costed at just over $25 million, dredging sand from the Cape and pumping it on to beaches at Belongil and New Brighton will cost double that amount, according to the new study which says $53 million is needed to pay for the capital works. Council’s Planning Direc-
tor, Ray Darney, says it is unlikely the local community could cover the cost of sand nourishment, as the process is called, and believes the state government would need to ďŹ nance a large part of the project. In addition to the cost of the operation, residents would be faced with the prospect of dredges operating for around 22 weeks, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, as well as the noise and disturbance associated with bulldozers spreading sand along beaches for most of that time. The construction of a groyne, a structure which would extend into the ocean for 250 metres at right angles from the beach, is also pro-

The Australia Indonesia Arts Alliance celebrated ‘Colours of the World’, a multicultural festival, in Byron Bay last Saturday. The event began with a martial arts expo in Railway Park and continued in the Community Centre with Japanese music, Irish
dancing, African dance and singing, Indian sitar, Aboriginal ďŹ lms, speakers, dances of peace, and much more. Along with many artists volunteering their talents, the Alliance was assisted in the festival preparation by a Work for the Dole team.
posed to stop sand drifting north from Belongil Beach. A long list of potential side effects of sand nourishment are listed in the report, including potential nutrient/ toxic release, threats to marine ecology including disruption to the humpback whale migration, water quality, potential pollution, impacts on tourism, shorebirds and sea turtles. The study also mentions a possible need to close the beach during sand pumping which could take several months. The draft Scoping Study on the feasibility to access the Cape Byron sand lobe for sand extraction for beach nourishment by Patterson Britton and Partners has been distributed to Councillors but will not be formally discussed by Council until a ďŹ nal report has been prepared, says Ray Darney. ‘There are quite a number of issues such as environmental considerations which still need to be studied. Council will need to decide whether they want to proceed [with sand nourishment] further,’ he told The Echo. ‘The process so far has been funded dollar for dollar by the state government and we will need to get in line behind other councils to ask for funding for implementation of any solutions,’ he said. Paradoxically, sand nourishment is not Council’s previously stated preferred option for addressing coastal erosion in the shire.

Arakwal celebrate Survival Day

January 26 is known to Aboriginal Australians as ‘Invasion Day’ and more positively and most recently, is now named ‘Survival Day’. Thursday saw the Arakwal People, the Sisters of Reconciliation and the Byron Shire Council Australia Day Committee host ‘A Celebration of the Survival of Indigenous Culture in Arakwal Country’ on Main Beach. Bronwyn Sindel of Sisters of Reconciliation said, ‘The aim of this day is to come together and celebrate and rejoice in the survival of indigenous culture.’ After the ofďŹ cial Welcome to Country by Aunty Dulcie Nicholls and words from Arakwal member Yvonne Stewart, Bronwyn acknowledged the sprits and custodians of the land, and the Arakwal elders. Bronwyn highlighted the beneďŹ ts in looking forward together as a community, ‘White Australians have just
as much to celebrate today as our indigenous people because with their strong and dynamic presence in our society we have the most excellent opportunity for combining our sophisticated literary and technological heritage from Europe with the earth based spirit knowledge and wisdom of the oldest living culture on the planet in a place of great beauty, diversity and abundance.’ Yvonne Stewart believes, ‘We live in a wonderful community, one where we can learn so much from each other. This day of celebration is deliberately informal and wholly accessible to all people. It aims to bring forth harmony and acceptance of each other. Next year we hope to achieve even more community education, and with it, participation.’ Bronwyn and Yvonne agree that there are still some people who are angry, who speak of their stolen country
and are stuck in the past, and they believe a community cannot grow from these feelings. Those not willing to let go appear to be the minority however, with the indigenous community for the most part wanting to use ‘Survival Day’ to remember and reect on the lives of their forefathers but also to recognise that they, as a people, are survivors, and they are still here. Quoting Bob Marley, Bronwyn pointed out that all they need do is ‘Feed the Positive’. She said, ‘None of us can go back and change the past, we just have to move on and make the best of it‌ and keep our sense of humour.’ On behalf of Arakwal Elders Linda, Dulcie and Delta, Yvonne would like to thank the organisers and supporters of the celebration. With numbers growing each year, she hopes there will be even more opportunities for community support and participation next year.

buying in the area, has been in place since the 1980s. Rough estimates have been compiled to assess the cost of purchasing at risk properties, however Mr Darney says any work on producing more accurate costings have been put on hold. A high level working group charged with ďŹ nding a solution to Byron Shire’s erosion issues, involving various state government organisations, ‘is in abeyance at present’ according to Mr Darney. Instead the resurrection of a community and Council group, the Coastline Management Committee, which recommended against sand nourishment is on the cards. The Committee was disbanded several years ago. Mr Darney says positions for community members will be advertised shortly, ‘then it will be up to Council and the community to decide’. Several other north coast councils are considering sand nourishment as a solution to coastal erosion at sites such as Yamba, Brooms Head, Kingscliff, and Coffs Harbour.
On Australia Day the Beach Hotel in Byron Bay gave $2,000 each to the Byron Scouts, Jarjum Playground, the Uncle Project, Arakwal Youth Projects, and Byron Youth Service’s Street Cruise project. ‘The focus for this years’ Beach Hotel Australia Day donations is youth,’ said Raylee Delaney for the hotel. ‘Recently there has been negative press regard-
ing the young people of our Shire and it is a shame that we do not, as a community, see and value the more positive aspects. We often criticise our young folk and then are surprised when some of them act in a negative manner. ‘The Beach Hotel has selected ďŹ ve groups involved in youth activities and representing a cross-section of youth endeavours. The vol-
unteers involved work very hard and their service and relationship with our young is to be valued and applauded. ‘They are a dedicated few, guiding and teaching our future adults. We encourage other businesses in our community to engage youth and support them socially and ďŹ nancially so this important work can continue and valueadd to life in our Shire.’
Shire’s talent to screen at ďŹ lmfest Film premieres from prominent local ďŹ lm makers will be the highlight of the Byron Bay Film Festival in February, say festival organisers. Over 60 entries are currently being viewed by the judging committee who say the ‘depth of talent and creativity in these ďŹ lms is extraordinary’. After a process of culling down by the judges, a ‘short list’ of over 20 ďŹ lms will be screened February 18-25 at the Byron Bay Community Centre. While entries include ďŹ lms from outside of the Shire there has been a very strong showing of local talent. Directors include David Bradbury,
who will be premiering his latest ďŹ lm Raul the Terrible, and rescreening his documentary about depleted uranium, Blowin’ in the Wind. Other premieres includes Dolphin People from Richard Mordaunt, Kim Kindersley’s ten year effort about the peace movement as well as Andrew Banbach’s short ďŹ lm, A Mile High, and David Warth’s exposĂŠ of logging giant Gunns, Tarkine The Forgotten Wilderness. ‘SurďŹ ng ďŹ lm culture is very well represented and continues to be a strong element of the Byron lifestyle,’ said ďŹ lm maker David Warth, who is
on the judging panel along with Raylee Delaney, the Community Centre’s Greg Aitken, former ABC producer Vera Wasowski and a handful of local ďŹ lm makers, who were quick to point out that they are excluded from winning awards. Saturday February 18 marks the Festival’s opening night and party. Films screen throughout the following week winding up with the awards ceremony and closing party on February 25.

Mavis Fell: Byron’s Citizen of the Year Ros Elliott Mavis Fell of Ocean Shores has been named the Byron Shire Citizen of The Year in the 2006 Australia Day Awards. A cheerful, fit woman of 88, Mavis received the award for her service to the community. She has been involved in Meals on Wheels, first in Mullumbimby and later in Brunswick Heads, for 30 years. Mavis is the runner, taking meal trays into elderly people, and says she loves having a chat with everyone. Up until several years ago Mavis also helped the elderly with Community Transport; driving people to shopping centres and helping carry the groceries back to the kitchen table. After 12 years she had to stop because she was considered ‘too old’ by the insurers of the service. A tireless volunteer, Mavis also enjoys helping on the Driver Reviver. ‘That is when ever I can get a shift, because there’s quite a lot of good volunteers and you have a job to get a shift in it,’ she explains.

f{™xä Mavis is the sort of person who’d love to be able to do service for the community every day. Her motto in life is, ‘Just keep busy. I just like to live life – I just like to keep active.’ During the recent oods a freaky river ran through her hillside unit and she is cur-
rently living with the carpets pulled up for drying, furniture stacked in unaffected rooms and she’s feeling a little put out by all this and wondering just how long it is going to take to get repaired. But receiving her Award on Australia Day made her feel appreciated, honoured and
gave her quite a thrill. And she reckons she now knows what Russell Crowe feels like with all the paparazzi ocking around for the perfect picture. A short interview with Mavis can be heard on BayFM’s Go-Earthcare show this Wednesday between 11am and midday.
Volunteers’ hard work recognised on Australia Day The Australia Day Committee recognised the efforts of several local residents for their commitment to the community and sporting achievement. The BrunswickMullumbimby Lions Club fundraising effort for tsunami victims won this year’s Community Service award. Over $20,000 was raised by the club and approximately $3 million in total by all the Lions Clubs throughout Australia. Expenditure is controlled by local Lions

Clubs representatives in the devastated areas and has mainly been directed at replacing houses and rebuilding hospitals. Recognition for achievement in the sporting arena went to Kurt Mulcahy and Shannon HulbertGreen. Bangalow’s fashion show, Wrapped in Bangalow, was named the Community Event of the Year. The preservation of local heritage was the subject of this year’s Australia Day address which was delivered
by Heritage Consultant Donald Ellsmore. ‘The role that I am privileged to undertake in the Byron Shire is to work with the community to identify and conserve our local heritage,’ explained Mr Ellsmore. ‘Heritage places are important because of historical ev ents, or because they are rare, or they are highly valued by the community. Or perhaps they just contribute to the overall environment that we have created together, an
environment that we value and wish to keep. ‘When we respect our her itage we respect ourselves.’ Around a dozen children disguised as animals turned up at the New Brighton Australia Day event to support a local campaign to save endangered animals. Organisers were delighted when Australia Day Ambassador, Shelley Oates-Wilding, visited the area, a ďŹ rst for the north of the Shire.

Local News Byron Shire Council’s relationship with state government sours over Becton proposal Byron Shire Council has drawn the ire of Minister for Planning, Frank Sartor after a bid to hang on to some form of local input over the state government’s assessment of the Becton development application (DA). Last week Council asked the Minister to commit to a community consultation process that ‘is open and transparent and informs and engages the community’. It also asked that Becton be required to submit a plan for the whole of the Belongil land owned by Becton. The current DA excludes several lots already zoned to allow tourism development. Council also took the
opportunity to question, yet again, the state government’s right to decide on the DA which Council believes is its responsibility. In reply Frank Sartor issued a press release dismissing Byron Mayor Jan Barham’s claims confirming that he is not the appropriate consent authority and suggesting ‘if Ms Barham cannot understand the legal basis for the Minister’s consent powers and the requirement for public exhibition of the proposal, I suggest she spends more time familiarising herself with NSW planning laws’. Mr Sartor also took a swipe at Council for delays over the

approval of any development at the Bayshore Drive site. ‘The protracted dithering over this proposal for many years when the land has been zoned for tourism for a decade is an indictment of Byron Council and its handling of planning matters,’ he said in the press release. Local environment group, BEACON, weighed in to defend Council’s handling of the issue and attributed the delays to the state government’s mismanagement of the process. ‘In 2003 the then Minister for Planning determined to accept and exhibit Becton’s Masterplan. The Byron community spent considerable energy and resources in vigourously opposing the plan only to find out that that it had no valid legal basis and that the Minister should never have exhibited it in the first place,’ said BEACON spokesperson Dailan Pugh. ‘Even then the NSW government persisted with attempts to determine it for the next nine months before finally admitting that it was legally invalid. The government has steadfastly refused to apologise to the community for putting them through the farcical Masterplan process. ‘Since then Becton have continued to bypass Council. In 2004 Becton submitted a Development Application to
the Planning Minister and when his department didn’t automatically accept it Becton took them to court, before ultimately dropping the case. ‘In July 2005 Becton again submitted their Development Application to the Minister. This time Minister Sartor procrastinated for over five months before deciding that he wanted to determine it. Neither of these DAs were submitted to Council. ‘BEACON calls upon Minister Sartor to apologise for unnecessarily stuffing around the Byron community and for his latest attempt to transfer blame for his Government’s incompetence to Byron Shire Council. If Minister Sartor truly wants to expedite the process then he should tell Becton to come back to him with a proposal that covers the whole of the site and is within the constraints established by Byron’s Development Control Plan for the site.’ Mr Pugh added. ‘How can he consider a proposal for only partial development of the site when he has no idea how big or intensive the final development will be?’ A spokesperson for the Minister said the Becton DA would be publicly exhibited ‘early in the New Year’ yet Cr Jan Barham says she still has had no notification from the Minister’s Department when this might be.

Remember replacement when culling your Camphor Laurels, says JanetTownsend, who is organising a free Camphor Laurel Control workshop at Tyalgum in Tweed Shire on Sunday February 26. This is the seventh of these popular workshops, run by Tweed Landcare and Department of Natural Resources, with the support of Tweed Shire Council and Far North Coast Weeds. The workshops are for landowners seeking the best ideas as to how to manage the Camphors on their properties. ‘We discuss the basics of putting together a long-term Camphor management plan for your property,’ said Ms Townsend. ‘However, a long-term plan can seem daunting, especially if you have a large property and need, say, ten to 15 years to get your Camphors under control, so we discuss priorities and short-term goals that give you a constant sense of achievement. ‘Whether or not Camphor is a declared noxious
weed in your Shire is irrelevant if you are following this steady but gradual approach because it is exactly what is allowed by the declaration wherever it applies in northern NSW.’ Ms Townsend says participants will follow a safe path environmentally when choosing which Camphors to cull year by year if they remember replacement (with native vegetation, often already present, with an emphasis on food trees for the birds that depend on the Camphors at present), habitat (for both fauna and flora) and bush corridors for wildlife. ‘The practical demonstration in the field after morning tea shows how to get it right first go when killing the Camphors you have targeted for the year,’ Ms Townsend said. ‘Both chemical and nonchemical options for an efficient kill are demonstrated.’ Participants need to wear sunsafe clothing and sturdy shoes ready for this part of the workshop. Interested people should phone Janet Townsend on 6677 9326.
Sydney writer robbed
A Ballina police officer photographs the crime scene.
A couple on holiday were burgled while they slept in their rented holiday unit in Henry Philip Avenue, Ballina. Roy Garner, a writer from Sydney, woke last Sunday morning to find a number of valuables stolen, including an Apple G4 iBook, an Orb Drive and handbags containing wallets and personal effects. ‘The computer has irreplaceable creative writing, photographic and editorial work for an international non profit organisation,’ Mr Garner told The Echo.
Based on a tip-off from police attending the crime scene, Garner went to a local pawnbroker and was lucky to find two people in possession of his mobile phone trying to sell it. He then made a citizen’s arrest. ‘One person has been charged,’ Inspector McKenna of Ballina Police told The Echo, ‘and we expect a further arrest in relation to this later in the week.’ Anyone with information on the goods not recovered so far can contact 0415 777 411 or the Ballina Police.

Real estate rises slow in NSW The smart money invested is in industrial land in the Northern Rivers in 2005 according to new figures released by the NSW Valuer General. Price booms in coastal residential properties seem to have slowed or stopped in most areas, including such previous gold mines as Lennox Head which jumped an amazing 53% between 2002 and 2004, but remained static over the past year. Landholders in 44 local government areas will be receiving their 2005 notices of valuation over the next few weeks, including Ballina, Tweed and Richmond River, however Byron Shire residents will have to wait until next year.Valuations are carried out on a three year rotating basis, with a third of the 144 local government areas valued each year. Byron Shire’s last valuation assessments were undertaken in 2003 and are not scheduled for an update until early 2007. ‘On average NSW residential land values have increased by two per cent over the latest valuation period of 12 months ending 1 July 2005,’ said Valuer General Philip Western. ‘The total land value for New South Wales had an overall increase of approximately four per cent.’ In the Northern Rivers, Casino and East Ballina
appear to have been the 2005 real estate hot spots with rises of around 20% in residential land. In the Ballina Council area increases were seen in East Ballina, Ballina canal front land, Alstonville and Wardell. Only Alstonvale moved in the right direction in the rural land category, with Lennox rural properties heading downwards and Rous remaining static. Industrial land skyrocketed by 49% in Ballina and 38% in Alstonville. Industrial land in Tweed Heads also increased by 5-15% depending on location, however residential values were less impressive with Murwillumbah, Pottsville and Tweed Heads West static, Banora Point and canal developments down and only Point Danger residential lots up. Rural land valuations are up in all areas of the Tweed, but Terranora showed the biggest per centage rise at 20%. The rising popularity of Evans Head was not reflected in the new land valuations with only small rises in all residential areas in the small coastal town. Rural land was a much better performer in all areas of the Richmond Valley showing gains of 5% at Coraki to 59% at Fairy Hill. Tony Farrell from LJ Hooker in Byron Bay said that local residential market
is definitely slower than it has been but is still ‘chugging along’. ‘Prices have softened by about 5-10% from the miniboom we had and rural prices have been patchy,’ said Mr Farrell. ‘The enquiry rate is still really high, but people seem to lack confidence to buy. ‘In the investor market there are a lot of people looking but not a lot selling.’ Asked if Byron has been part of the boom in industrial land he commented that there is an ‘over supply of completed sheds’ but not much vacant industrial land left in the area. If property prices in Byron Shire have rocketed out of your orbit, then you might want to look at Casino where the average price of residential land is still only a very affordable $57,000. Woodburn is a bit closer to the beach and only $80,000, although prices rose nearly 11% last year, alternatively Treacletown (Broadwater) is still an oasis of affordability at $68,000. Top pegging in residential land values on the Northern Rivers last year was Point Danger in the Tweed Heads local government area which reached ten times the Broadwater average at $688,000 and is still rising.
Car totals butcher’s front end in Mullum
The staff at Devine’s Butchery in Stuart Street, Mullumbimby, got a nasty fright Tuesday this week when a car smashed through one of their front windows in a parody of a ram raid. At about 2.10pm, a Holden Barina which appeared to be parking in front of the shop suddenly accelerated and mounted the kerb, crashing in through the shopfront and giving the staff and driver a serious fright. Describing it as a ‘bizarre accident’, Vince Devine was philosophical as he contemplated the clean-up ahead including the throwing out of up to $5,000 worth of meat, not to mention several hours of lost business.

Sports group goes for injunction on Lot 107 sale A rescission motion to overturn the decision to sell Lot 107 in Ocean Shores failed last week, however the Brunswick Valley Sports Association believe a court injunction will prevent any sale going ahead. Speaking for the Sports Association, Tina Petroff
told The Echo last week ‘Our barrister has taken out an injunction to stop the sale of Lot 107. We have tried hard to negotiate with Byron Shire Council but have had no choice.’ Council voted to sell Lot 107 to the RTA last year and has been investigating alter-
native sites for sporting facilities in the north of the Shire. A parcel of agricultural land at Yelgun has been identified by Council as its favoured site for sporting fields. ‘Council has resolved to further investigate the purchase of the Yelgun site,’ said Mayor Jan Barham.

Bright Lights Performance School has announced its program for 2006 with classes to be held in Byron Bay and Ballina. Bright Lights says it is Byron Bayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading performance school for children aged 8 and over and was started by drama teacher, Brian Dale and dance teacher, Lee Purdie in 2004. The school invites students from primary school classes 3, 4, 5 and 6 and secondary school classes 7 and 8 to extend their creative talents. Courses are held in dance/ drama and stage awareness/ performance skills and culminate in a fully staged musical production. Through the initial drama/ dance training course, students explore and test their dance and movement skills and their dramatic ability, especially through improvisation, role-playing and characterisations. All students are given the opportunity to display speciďŹ c talents or their own dramatic and movement ideas. At the conclusion of the drama/dance course, students are invited to participate in the stage awareness/ performance skills course which leads to the production of a stage musical. This involves auditions, script discussions, character

proposals, rehearsing, costume ideas and development, make-up techniques and the expectation of a professional attitude towards the show and all cast members. The ďŹ rst Year 7/8 courses begin in Byron Bay on Monday February 6 and run through to performances at the end of July. Year 5/6 courses begin in Ballina at the Masonic Hall on March 9. A second course in Byron Bay starts Term 2 with performances in October.
Yvonne Stewart has recently been appointed to the board of the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA). She ďŹ&#x201A;ew to Sydney Tuesday this week for her induction and to meet with the directors and board members. Ms Stewart told The Echo, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I feel honoured and absolutely privileged to be
appointed. I applied in the hope that I may help other Aboriginal communities with regards to the issues the EPA deal with on a daily basis. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I would very much like to broaden my environmental management role in the wider community and expand my knowledge
on environmental land management. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I feel I could bring some ideas to the table from my perspective and together with the EPA we can better address the issues surrounding Aboriginal communities such as contaminated land and waste areas. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;It is a fantastic opportu-
nity for the EPA to hear a lot of the issues that surround Aboriginal communities and hopefully it will result in getting resources to those people and places most in need. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Ultimately I would like to bring Aboriginal related issues further up the ladder of important environmental matters.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Byron Bay police have charged Myocum man Mark Newhouse, 39, with one count of supplying a large commercial quantity of MDMA â&#x20AC;&#x201C; more commonly known as the party drug Ecstasy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and one count of goods in custody. Newhouse appeared in Byron Bay local court last Friday and was granted bail with strict conditions including the forfeit of $10,000. Police allege that Newhouse was caught opening the locker of a storage facility
in the Byron Arts & Industry Estate which contained 2,500 Ecstasy pills and $30,000. Police told the court that owners of the storage facility had found the drugs after breaking open the locker when they were concerned the contents would be affected by ďŹ&#x201A;ooding. Newhouse denied knowledge of the pills and his lawyer told the court that as a number of people had access to the locker it was questionable who the drugs actually belonged to.
Newhouseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next court appearance is on March 31. One of the biggest Ecstasy hauls ever was made by Australian police in April last year when they seized more than ďŹ ve million tablets hidden inside a shipping container that arrived in Melbourne. They estimated its street value as more than A$250m ($192m). An X-ray machine was used to locate the tablets, which were hidden in cavities around boxes of ceramic tiles.

Water tank bug a Byron menace? Hans Lovejoy Are you suffering from abdominal pain, itching around the bottom and watery or loose bowel motions/diarrhoea? Those who drink tank water may be interested in a Blastocystis Hominus, or simply put: Blasto. Other symptoms caused by Blasto when it takes root in the intestine are hardly a bag of fun. They include abdominal pain, weight loss and excessive gas. It may sound just a tad funny, but being Blasto’d is no laughing matter. Lennox Head naturopath Greg Fredericks told The Echo, ‘In the five years I spent in Perth I treated two cases, but here I treat roughly five cases a week. ‘The problem is that it is usually wrongly diagnosed or is reportedly incurable.’ The parasite thrives on fatty foods, sugar and alcohol, according to Fredericks, and affects the liver and gallbladder. ‘Colonics help but do not cure,’ he said, ‘and even though a patient feels they have been cured, it can
come back.’ Fredericks claims Western medicine uses the onesize fits-all approach, but each Blasto case is different, with a patient’s constitution, blood type and health all playing a part. According to Greg Bell of the North Coast Public Health Unit in Lismore, it is not a notifiable disease (ie not tracked). ‘I can’t say that I have heard of many cases, in fact not for years,’ he told The Echo. ‘It is particularly common in developing countries without proper water and sewage. We do know it is not passed from human to human though we do get occasional reports.’ ‘It’s difficult to treat, and is often associated with other conditions or debilities, not necessarily bacterial in nature,’ local GP Dr David Miller told The Echo. ‘Not much is known about it.’ S u l l i va n a n d N i c o laides patholog ist Dr Jenny Robson told The Echo the jur y was still out on whether Blasto is a pathogen or not.
‘Experts are divided about it, and some laboratories don’t even report cases,’ she said. A pathogen is an agent that disrupts the normal physiology of a multicellular animal or plant, according to www.biology-online. org/dictionary/pathogen. Dr Robson added that ‘Prevalence (of Blasto) amongst patients submitting faecal specimens to our lab is approximately 7%.’ According to the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention’s web-site www. cdc.gov, many people with Blastocystis have no symptoms at all, as it can remain dormant in the intestines for years. This makes the parasite elusive and often misdiagnosed – it is also found along with other similar organisms. As little is known about how the infection is spread, the best advice is to maintain good personal hygiene practices, prepare food carefully, and boil your tank water if you suspect faeces are present.

The party with no pulse Vol 20 #36
January 31, 2006
Governed by money There is little novel in former government leaders sucking up to the private sector in search of a nice little earner. However it remains an insult to a jaded electorate repeatedly assured by said politicians that they are figures of high moral probity. The Sydney Morning Herald’s weekend round-up of state and federal government pollies who have gone fresh from office into private enterprise, trailing behind them glorious clouds of inside information and powerful contacts, only reinforces the public suspicion it’s who you know which runs the government engine, not planning or environmental considerations, nor even common human decency. This mightn’t be so bad if all of us could operate on a banana republic system of bribery, but it’s one law for the rich and bugger the rest of us – fill out the forms in triplicate and wait for the capricious result. It is particularly galling that state government ministers lecture and hector local councillors on their need to be accountable while the ministers themselves are busy having expensive lunches with mates they will one day join in a boardroom or two. Poison is added to this gall by the fact big business can make donations to the two major parties, and often do, and we’re expected to believe this will not influence the decisions of whatever party is in power. The electoral system needs serious reform, but why would the money-hungry Coalition or ALP move to do so when their senior members are so well looked after?
Terrorist democracies The quotation ‘Hamas has been democratically elected and that fact has to be accepted. But Hamas in return has got to accept that you can’t simultaneously behave like a democratically elected government and support terrorism.’ might be sobering if it came from the lips of a respected humanitarian leader, an elder statesman or even an insightful novelist. But it is the work of our prime minister John Howard and it oozes with hypocrisy or blindness, or both. Mr Howard is wrong. His government is democratically elected – though whether it behaves that way is a moot point – and supports terrorism. State-sponsored terrorism is called war and the United States, supposedly another democracy, is waging war in the Middle-East under various shoddy pretexts to further its global ambitions. It is to Australia’s eternal shame that we support such terrorism. Saddam Hussein was a tyrant, certainly, but we were happy enough to sell him wheat, and we were happy enough to play cricket in Mugabe’s Zimbabwe. When our plans change so that we need with noble words to justify our invasion of another country to support our lickspittle links with the Bush administration, then that is opportunism, not honour as our PM seems to think. No doubt Hamas will have many different and difficult realities to face in the business of government. Its election is an affront to the 19th century colonialist overlord attitudes of the United States and its allies. Freedom might be on the march, as George W Bush put it, but definitely not in the style he wanted it.

t would be safe to say that until last week not many people had ever heard of Julian McGauran, and that even those who had were not exactly agog. This applies particularly to the Victorian senator’s constituents whose relationship with their representative, where it has existed at all, has been one of mutual contempt. McGauran, the scion of a once-grand rural family, owes his preselection purely to patronage and judicious contributions to the National Party slush fund, and even so his position has become precarious over the years. Last week he jumped before he was pushed but instead of moving to the ranks of the independents, as many other disgruntled Nats have done, McGauran achieved his 15 minutes of infamy by announcing he would join the Liberals; he could, he felt, represent rural interests best from within the ranks of the senior coalition partner. Rural electors muttered that he could hardly represent them any worse, and that would have been the end of it except for what John Howard smugly called the laws of arithmetic. McGauran’s defection meant that the Libs had one more member of parliament and the Nats one less, which tipped the balance of the coalition agreement on representation in the ministry. The Nats went one down. Given that most of them were dead weight anyway this was hardly a problem for the quality of the government, but it was a humiliation nonetheless. The chosen victim was a Queenslander, De-Anne Kelly, which was an added complication; Howard had already told another Queenslander, the Minister for Fish-
eries, Conservation and Forestry Ian Macdonald (famous only for denying that he had tried to bribe independent Tony Windsor to vacate his seat) that his presence on the front bench was no longer required. Now the Sunshine State joined the Nationals in feeling hard done by and tensions mounted further. As usual, the Nats made noises about walking out of the coalition; as always, the Libs ignored them, knowing the Nats had nowhere else to go. Well, they have actually, but no one was tactless enough to
party status; Howard has allowed them to keep it by artificially including the Northern Territory Country-Liberal Nigel Scullion in their ranks. But even within the political Zimmer frame these arrangements provide, the Nats vote continues to fall.The decline is obvious not only in their numbers, but in their quality. Compared to the heavyweights of the past – Earle Page, Arthur Fadden, John McEwen, even Doug Anthony – the recent leadership, with the possible exception of Tim Fischer, has been derisory.
Compared to the heavyweights of the past the recent leadership, with the possible exception of Tim Fischer, has been derisory. by Mungo MacCallum mention it: their ultimate destination is down the drain. It is not just a matter of demographics; there are still plenty of rural seats left in Australia, and the regionals are actually increasing. The problem is that they are increasingly held by the Liberals, Independents, or even (especially in the state parliaments) by Labor. The only barrier between the Nats and a mercifully quick (and long overdue) demise is the coalition agreement which prevents Liberals from standing against Nats who are sitting members, which means that the Libs have to wait until the old guard die or retire before picking up their seats.The system of joint tickets, now very much on the decline, helps the Nats in the Senate, though there their numbers are now down to four, below official
Mark Vaile might have been a competent junior minister but the idea of him heading a party in government is simply absurd. Peter McGauran is only slightly more capable than his invisible brother Julian, yet for want of better talent he has a senior cabinet position. Even John Cobb, who would be regarded as close to unemployable in the real world, gets into the outer ministry. Imagine what that says about those left permanently on the backbench, like Ian ‘Mad Dog’ Causley... However, its dwindling band of adherents cling to the National Party as they would to an irreparably dilapidated part of our national heritage. One of their arguments is that if – when – the Nats are finally absorbed into the Liberal sponge before evaporating altogether they will leave a
political vacuum in the bush, and this may be filled by the real crazies from the biblewielding, gun-toting, conspiracy-mad right. Well, it may, but they’ll have to fight off both the Libs and Labor, who will have wellresourced battle plans ready when the moment for invasion comes. And even if the nutters gain a brief foothold, they will inevitably split and self-destruct quickly; organisations run by paranoiacs invariably do (remember Pauline Hanson). The only reasons to persevere with the Nationals are a tradition which no longer applies, and sheer sentiment – and, as Julian McGauran has reminded us, these are seldom enough to compete with really dedicated self interest.
A
nother week of the Cole Commission, and it is now surely clear to all but the determinedly purblind that not only was the Australian Wheat Board up to its ears, as it were, in bribery, corruption, sanction-busting and deceit, but that the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade must have been aware of it, and at a very senior level. The only remaining question is whether that awareness was passed onto the relevant ministers -Alexander Downer and Mark Vaile – and ultimately to Howard himself. Howard, of course, still insists it wasn’t, but his denials are not quite as cocksure as they were at the start of the debacle. Last week he commented only that, so far, nothing had emerged which contradicted the government’s version of events – hardly a ringing protestation of innocence. Can it be that, once again, the lying rodent is preparing to cover his own arse?

Q In a country which is internationally known for its horrendous road conditions, I am quite amused to see someone complain about too much money being spent on a dangerous section of road. (Coolamon Scenic Drive). I can understand why the council chooses to rebuild the road so it lasts 70 years, not ten. You appear to be complaining about the time inconveniences for you personally, disguised as concern for the community.
I had not informed members of dress standards for such venues in advance, something I mistakenly believed was common knowledge, else the misunderstanding could have been avoided. Many thanks must go to the Ex-Services Club for their generous provision of meeting rooms and facilities to non-profit groups, and I would like to remind everyone that such organisations are well within their rights to exercise their requirements and standards. On that note, with respect to the beliefs and preferences of individuals like Mr Liebovitz, I hope that all existing and future BSMUG members will appreciate that community groups and organisations are trying to cater for as broad a cross-section of the community as possible and to this end BSMUG welcome newcomers to attend meetings wherever they might be held or to connect with fellow members via the online forum www.ozshop.net/ozforum/ index.php.

This morning, Thursday January 19, I drove down Binna Burra Road to its junction with the BangalowLismore road. Due to the disgraceful and dangerous condition of the road, I was unable to exceed 40kph. The road surface was littered with ďŹ st size rocks and smaller gravel washed out from Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ridiculous â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;repairsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to road shoulders after heavy rain some months ago. Whatever happened to the days of about 20 years ago, when almost on an annual basis, Council machinery graded the road shoulders to form proper drains to cope with heavy run-off? These days, and for some years now, the drain is the edge of the bitumen, with subsequent washouts. Surely road maintenance would be a more sensible use of monies continually wasted on unwinnable court cases.

Self blame and personal responsibility enables others to offload the problem onto the individual.Yet, as the editor points out, the premium placed on commercial success, competition and consumerism by the dominant global culture may be inducing this pandemic of depression. There are all sorts of depressing situations and depressing people plaguing our planet. It’s depressing. It’s gunna take more than a website to help me overcome my depression. Selfmedication, endless counselling, plenty of exercise and a good diet won’t do it either. Personal transformation and lifestyle adjustments are needed on a grand scale to cure this dis-ease and help people marinating in their misery. I’m hanging out for the revolution – not the religious inspired armageddon so favoured by the mad fundies, but the green, hippy, peaceful, utopian revolution, where we all take care of each other and the planet and live in loving, respectful harmony. Unfortunately, it’s taking a depressingly long time to achieve! Michele Grant

Dirty water Mandy’s Soapbox report of last week lampooned our city cousins. Sydney folk do poop in the nest, however, they do provide signs to inform swimmers. Lets not pretend we on the north coast are ever so pure. Here in Mullumbimby with medium to heavy rain a large proportion of the town’s poop is unable to make it to
the sewage works and runs directly into the Brunswick River via an overflow pipe. The heavy rain periods of the last two weeks was such a time. Just as you suggested to city folk, a large number of Mullum people might as well have ‘cut out the middle man’ and have gone to the river for a dump. Even after the rain had passed, with the sun blazing and lawn mowers roaring, the raw sewage overflow pipe was quietly dumping a good part of Mullum’s load. This has been the case since the town’s sewers were built back in the 60s. Down the Heads end of our Brunswick – ‘The Dirtiest Little River on the Nth Coast’ – you will not find any signs to scare away our city cousins as they fish and swim. Our Council does not have a water testing regime that allows health officers to make comment on faecal safety of those Brunswick Heads waters, let alone erect a sign. Ask them whether the water is safe to swim in and watch them go around in circles. Dealing with one’s shit is very much a problem we share with our city cousins. Garry Scott

Palestine choices People who ask me about Palestine and Hamas often assume that it is really a very complex mess and that there are no real ways to clean it up. Perhaps the only thing that seems simple is that obviously both sides should just stop all that violence nonsense. Speaking from a Palestinian’s point of view, as I do, I try to gently point out
that rocket science or quantum physics is complex, but the Israel and Palestine issue is really quite simple. Israel being the outright power in the region has a choice to make about Palestine: either it has conquered it or is merely occupying it. If Israel has conquered Palestine (it has been 58 years) then it must give equal rights to all of its citizens (passports, the vote, security, law, education, social security etc). Obviously anything short of these basic rights amounts to terrible discrimination and indeed racism, not to mention utter contempt for human dignity and freedom. If however, Israel is merely occupying Palestine, another
country, then surely it should just leave. Occupation is a gruesome business requiring violence and again, utter contempt for human dignity and freedom. Freedom is an essential part of peace. Without freedom reasonable men and women might become less than reasonable; without freedom men and women of peace might reasonably become less than peaceful. All throughout history people have fought (against even impossible odds) for their freedom. This is obviously a fact that goes beyond race, colour, creed or gender and unites us all in a certain commonality. Incidentally, freedom has only rarely been given freely; rather it has been demanded and fought
for repeatedly. So why is everybody so surprised about Hamas gaining power? It is plain to see after 58 years of occupation that Israel is totally committed to keeping Palestine (the West Bank is a fertile and water rich area). The last so-called peace deal offered to the Palestinians (after excluding from the offer Israeli settlements and settlement security, plantations and water works/reservoirs, roads, army checkpoints, military bases, border controls, and a whole slew of things that cannot be given up for whatever reasons) was less than 8% of original Palestine. No government would be given a mandate by its people to give up all but 8% of its land, indeed the Pales-
Horstmann, a man with substantial means at his disposal. Unfortunately he appears to have attempted to treat the Association as his own. The committee met with him to discuss its concerns and to give him every opportunity to explain his actions. His motivation in attacking the BPC so publicly leads me to the conclusion that it is his intention is to destroy this fragile community organisation. However all democratic organisations should be open to public criticism and I am sure that the public will continue to support the BPC. After all, the Byron Peace Carnival is just a one day a year celebration, organised by volunteers in a non-profit community organisation. Our goal isto develop the awareness and strength of peace in our community and goodwill to the rest of the world. There is no place for personal power in that agenda.
The peace carnival is in a healthy state and is functioning well as a democratic entity. The Byron Peace Carnival welcomes applications from people genuinely interested in working towards peace without a personal or private business agenda. We welcome working cooperatively with like-minded people who understand democratic principles and are happy to work hard in community service as a team, without attachment to ego or financial or personal gain. I wish Dieter goodwill and hope that he can find peace on this issue. I join his call for increased membership of BPC and thank him for his constructive contributions in the past. Paul Joseph
President, Byron Peace Carnival Q As former vice president of the Byron Peace Carnival Committee (who resigned
two days after the event) I am left feeling somewhat embarrassed and disappointed that the perceived and unhealed split between former and present committee members could not be healed ‘in house’. These are times when the planet is calling for those who may have a better way of walking forward in to what appears to be an uncertain future to stand and walk their talk.This is a time to cease intellectualising about sustainable practices and to begin living it daily. I initially got involved because I thought that if we cannot pull off a new way of being in Rainbow Country, where else in Australia is capable of pulling us out of this spin that Bush, Howard and others have us in? To apportion blame on others is so ‘old world’. We must take responsibility for our actions and what we did or did not do.

Lot 107 questions
Will peace find the carnival committee? Q Dieter Horstmann’s proposition that the Byron Peace Carnival has been ‘hijacked’ (Letters, January 24) is ludicrous and completely misleading. The members of the executive committee that he mentioned have all demonstrated a long term commitment to our community and their personal histories reveal that they are effective peace workers and environmental champions. Indeed, rather than hijack, these people have been responsible for the organisation, production and subsequent rescue of this valuable community celebration at vast personal expense. Last year’s Carnival incurred a large financial loss caused by false promise and exploitation by commercial interests, who refused to honour their commitments. The losses incurred have been covered by one of the committee members, without any help from Dieter
tinian government, FATAH was not. The UN and many other groups have said a just deal should be 47%; you see this was the original Englishimposed settlement and so it should also be the final settlement, which includes East Jerusalem. Hamas is basically saying it is half your land and half mine, mate. Want more? Then you have to compromise as well, in full, and include reparations. Justice is not negotiable – it is either just or it is not. Hamas is long overdue. It represents a nation which has been driven to fight for true justice just like Malcolm X did – by all means necessary.
For the Byron Peace Carnival Committee to not be able to find a win/ win solution to an internal dispute means we have failed the community dismally. In my mind, we were the torchbearers for a gentler world where it is acknowledged that we are all interconnected in some way and that the answer for us all to live a fuller life lies in the arms of peace somehow. I now doubt that the remaining members of the committee are the right ones for the position. Certain conciliation skills appear to be missing. Personally I am sorry Byron for failing you. One positive aspect, at least for me, is that I am thankful through all this experience for gaining deeper understandings of the depth of peace and what it takes to maintain it. Peace is definitely not attainable when life is complicated. Binnah Pownall

Council has just voted to sell Lot 107, Shara Boulevarde, to the RTA. To Councillors and anyone who wants Nature Reserve at Lot 107, here are three basic questions for you regarding 1. the wildlife corridor; 2. an alternative site; 3. the secret RTA meetings. Councillors’ steadfast refusal to answer raises fears in Ocean Shores. As they are charged with the legal responsibility to provide the shire with sports fields – it’s not optional – they and supporters have an obligation to the community to answer all three questions. Firstly, regarding wildlife corridors, at present the corridor at Shara Boulevarde is 490 metres wide, lying to both east (290m) and west (200m) of Lot 107, with many animals observed in there. Lot 107 would add another 190 metres. The corridor may well be adequate, meaning animals and sports can both flourish. No research has been done. Those in favour of extending
Byron Shire Echo January 31, 2006 11
www.echo.net.au
Letters the corridor must substantiate their claim that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not already working, ie the incorporation of Lot 107 is vital for it to work. The basic question is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;which animals are not using the 490 metrewide existing corridor?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Secondly, many are alarmed that Council would sell what everyone knows is the last remaining site, while repeatedly failing to tell us where the sports ďŹ elds will actually go, nor offering any proof of negotiations or purchase documents on any alternative site. So, name the alternative. There is no spare land. Therefore, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sell Lot 107! The Yelgun proposal is 5km from the school, Lot 107 is 1km. No parent would expect their kids to cycle or walk to sports ďŹ elds at Yelgun. Separately, the mayor wants it for nature reserve. We are afraid that $1.3 million of our S94 sports money may be spent
on someone elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reserve. As with Lot 107! Thirdly, documents recently made available from the Ombudsman reveal two secret RTA meetings were held with local environment groups, in â&#x20AC;&#x2122;97 and â&#x20AC;&#x2122;99. Two points: a) it is known that the A2 route was approved by those at the meetings â&#x20AC;&#x201C; later opposed by 4,500 petitioners out of 6,000 residents. b) â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Compensatory Habitatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; was also decided on, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;repaying the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for the destruction of very high value reserve and aboriginal heritage, and our lifestyle on the Brunswick River. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Compensationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; includes that we should lose (!) Lot 107 (a cow paddock) to the RTA to repay ourselves for the loss â&#x20AC;&#x201C; we lost (!) a well-documented area of rich and endangered rainforest, a place of exceptional beauty. Many of us believe that we are being deceived
into giving away our sports ďŹ elds â&#x20AC;&#x201C; why? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to compensate ourselves for getting stuck with the A2 route we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want! The third question is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;do you believe that these decisions are transparent, legal and valid?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Fortunately the Brunswick Valley Sports Association has placed a legal injunction on Council to prevent the sale of Lot 107, in addition to their current legal challenge to Council in the Land and Environment Court. Many of us expect answers to these basic questions. Please, Councillors, respond. And respond to our circumstances and needs with assistance, please. David Hall

Our shame Dear Prime Minister, It is with deep regret that
I see Australia following the lead of the USA in using weapons of mass destruction on innocent people including our military personnel. We are now aligned with the only country in the world currently using weapons of mass destruction. You are now even allowing them to use our beautiful country to test these evil weapons (in particular DU devices). This whole farce of the war against Iraq has resulted in us, the Australians, being allied with huge evil in the shape of the USA military. Economic rationalism has run amok. In many of the highest eschelons, capitalism is now the ultimate fascist system based on greed, money and power at any cost, even death and destruction of innocent civilians, women, children and unborn children. Have a look at: http://
seattlepi.nwsource.com/ national/95178_du12. shtml if you need any further proof. Human values of truth, love, goodness, peace and non-violence has dissappeared in the face of lies, untruth, deception, greed, corruption, money, ego and power. Surely you can see this? Yes, we do need a defence force. But this ridiculous â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;pre-emptive strikeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; scenario is just a way for evil political and military leaders to increase their personal control and power over this beautiful planet, and to build vast fortunes in war industries and associated farcical â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;re-constructionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; economics for â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;the boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. And now youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve brought in laws that stop us, the very people who you serve, complaining about this great evil that you are supporting, and into which you are leading
us, the unwilling peace loving majority of Australians. For Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sake stop this insanity. Take our troops out of Iraq! And stop supporting the evil intentions of a government of a capitalist society gone mad. Love and peace, Solihin Millin

could do a little shopping and come back in half an hour or so, the repair would be done. So off I went, no trouble ďŹ lling in 30 minutes in Mullum. All shopping done it was off to pick up the electrical repair, and to my surprise, was told the repair was $44, but as I already had been asked to leave a $10 deposit when I left the appliance originally, I owed a balance of $34. Was a little taken aback and enquired if some fault had been found and was assured no, just the cord replaced. I went back to my car feeling a little â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;ripped offâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; but what can one do? On to the jewellers, I wondered what a gold ring plus time, and a rush job was going to cost. A smiling lady produced an envelope with my name, phone number and details of the job and the chain was produced and the repair shown to me, for my approval. The lady turned to the man to enquire about the price as there was nothing on the envelope, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Oh,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; he said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;no charge for thatâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; I was speechless!

Food no crime I think Bob Ellis raises some excellent points in his â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The aftermath of Wheatgate might be wildâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; article; however, my moral sense of outrage prevents me from seeing supplying food to a starving nation as a crime. With 700,000 plus innocent people starving to death, the real criminals are the UN. I dare say in 100 years, if capitalism/imperialism is ďŹ nally over, such people supplying food to the starving will be considered heroes universally. Dimitri Schnarbenhurst

Head out on the highway, looking for adventure Q Mike Burless (Letters, January 24) has got it wrong again! The largely local 18,000 signatories were also kind enough to supply their email addresses, which of course provides a formidable mailing list of already empowered people. Option D has already been chosen which is why it was added to the options list at the last moment. Incidentally â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;essential infrastructureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; developments no longer require an Environmental Impact Statement. Option C has been dropped as it has Don Pageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s property in the way and Don is deďŹ nitely not a threatened species. The RTA doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like to take on politicians, ie when it moved the truck stop development from Sleepy politicians. Just consider: here we are, as humanity living in an environment that is year by year getting closer to dying. Sea levels are rising, ďŹ res, hurricanes, ďŹ&#x201A;oods on the increase, whole countries threatened with desertiďŹ cation and thousands of species with extinction â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all due to our worship of the golden calf, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;unlimited economic growthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. And what do we do about it? AfďŹ rm the need for even more economic growth but accompanied by just a little bit less of harmful greenhouse gas emissions than so far. Certainly our dependence on oil and coal is there to stay. And where are the voices of protest? Our government for one is proudly sitting on a surplus of billions of dollars, and the general talk is â&#x20AC;&#x201C; of investing some of those billions in the serious development of renewable energies? Of building giant wind farms, exploring solar energy in a continent blessed with empty space and unlimited sunshine, harnessing tidal power, developing a true biodiesel industry?

Hollow in the Tweed to Billinudgel (too close to the Anthonysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; property). The RTA is a paper tiger! When faced with stalwart opposition united in their opposition to the motorway they will collapse! Incidentally the ďŹ rst casualty in the RTA campaign against the community is the Bangalow Heartbeat â&#x20AC;&#x201C; taken over by a bunch of neo-con developers who canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even spell their headlines properly.

Binna Burra Q Some contributors to the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;motorway debateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; seem to be departing from the real world at speeds far in excess of 110kph. Perhaps I can offer a few grains of truth for the rest of us to consider. First, the 18,000 odd subtax free threshold anyway. Anyway, green energy is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;too costlyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;; and as for wind farms, they must be opposed because they spoil the view. But to make up for it, increasingly there is talk of nuclear as a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;greenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;cheapâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; energy source â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with noone ever factoring in the tremendous costs of decommissioning those plants when their use-by date approaches. Wake up, Australia! And realise that here we have a problem far bigger than terrorism or even the threat of a bird ďŹ&#x201A;u pandemic. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s join those few countries that are at least beginning to realise the potential threat and vote our politicians out of ofďŹ ce unless they make determined and convincing efforts of dealing with it. It may not be too late yet to save our planet, but will be soon if we blindly continue our dance around the golden calf â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which may well prove to be humanityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dance of death.

Bad behaviour Yesterday I went with three others for a late afternoon picnic by the beach at Lennox Head. The weather was beautiful and there was a relaxed air of pleasure and conviviality as other groups were enjoying themselves. We chose a shady spot at the
"
missions were not â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;anonymousâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Each of those submissions carried a name and address and a signature. They were no more anonymous than your driving licence. Second, yes, there were â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;foreignersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; who signed submissions. (18,000 of them? No, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really think so.) From Brazil? Well, I met one from Sydney. When told of the plan to build a monster freeway through the beautiful area she had come to visit, she said something like, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;They couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be that stupid!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; That seems a valid and appropriate comment from a visitor to an area which relies heavily on tourism. Third, all over the world, it is accepted that your signature on a document indicates that you understand and
agree with its contents. But here in Byron there is a breakaway movement. A few sharp-eyed observers here have a theory that your signature on a document might show that you have not understood it at all, or you do not agree with its contents. This theory does seem to be a bit dodgy, so until they have some convincing evidence, or any evidence at all, perhaps they should just give it a rest. Fourth, at the Parliamentary Inquiry Hearing on November 18, 2005, Mr Bob Higgins, GM PaciďŹ c Highway, RTA, did use some of the words attributed to him in the letters page of last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Echo. However many of them belong to somebody else. Mr Higgins indicated that there would be difďŹ culties in upgrading and making
the existing highway safer. That is hardly surprising. He did not say a safe upgrade was impossible. He did not even hint at an â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;upgrade built to an unsafe standardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. At the same hearing Mr Higgins also said. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;There are sections of the highway where what was proposed was to take a class A, and there are sections which are class M.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; So clearly, class A upgrades are not unacceptable to the RTA for the future PaciďŹ c Highway. But most important, Mr Higgins made it very clear that he knows the existing highway is unsafe. He did not explain why it has been left unsafe for so long, or why the RTA proposals mean it will be left unsafe for many years to come.
far end of a grassy area, while at the other end, 35 or so metres away, a group of about ten young women and men had set up with the Australian flag adorning their esky. Four or ďŹ ve of the lads were having a low key game of cricket with an inflated ball. There was plenty of space for both groups to co-exist. Very soon the game was aimed at us with balls and ďŹ elders deliberately harassing us. Their showing off went from juvenile to reckless as one lad threw himself over a fence into a patch of regenerating shrubs and trees adjoining our chairs. We ignored this and got on with our picnic, quietly sitting and chatting among ourselves. It deďŹ es reason why they wanted the attention of four women old enough to be their grandmothers. Were they looking for opprobrium? Suddenly a young man ran at speed straight at us, dived between us and crashed onto the table sending crockery and food in all directions and completely smashing our table.This was a most deliberate spear tackle. It was no longer a game of harassment, but an act of direct aggression and it was frightening. We were shocked and shaken by this unprovoked attack. During the ensuing discus-
sion with this grinning demolition machine and some of his friends we were told that â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;we were here ďŹ rstâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I was just getting the ballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bit drunkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;this is a cricket gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve lived here all my lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, (as two of our group are from Europe this statement has connotations). One of the young women apologised with a rider that â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;he was celebrating Australia Day and is drunkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. As for the physical danger which we experienced, the tableâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s destruction or the mess, there was not a word of acknowledgement of their responsibility. Please, women, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no need for you to excuse and condone the blokesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bad behaviour. These people were adamant that it was our fault for being there and the overriding right was their celebration of Australia Day to the detriment of others. This was made clear in that shortly after their women friends had calmed them down and the cricket bat was put away, a game of football was started, again with glances in our direction and progressively approaching ball-play. One is left to ponder if this incident reďŹ&#x201A;ects the personalisation of Australian neo-nationalism, the new individualism, the face of youth supremacy, attempted masculinist deďŹ ance, age-ist
harassment/aggression, a form of neanderthal revivalism, the north coastâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s version of Cronulla, or a presumption that the Australian ďŹ&#x201A;ag can be used to excuse bad behaviour. Whatever happened to sharing this great locality we have? Where are the fruits of the heightened community spirit that the north coast boasts? The sign nearby this particular place disallow animals, use of vehicles and a number of other things â&#x20AC;&#x201C; should ball games be added to that list? After all the beach is only ďŹ ve metres away! Personally I hope that individual and social values alike will increasingly emphasise the rewards and beneďŹ ts of people sharing facilities and developing awareness of cooperation and respect for differences.

Alex McAuley With the big wet looking like it could be here for a while, indoor activities are high on the agenda for visitors to and residents of Mullumbimby alike. Anyone who is interested in the history of the area should get themselves along to the Brunswick Valley Historical Society museum (on the corner of Stuart and Myocum Streets, Mullumbimby) where there is a display of old photographs of the district, many of which were taken by Mullumbimby woman Myrra Snow. Mrs Snow died in 1974 after living in Mullumbimby for more than forty years and made a signiďŹ cant contribution to the town, including the founding of the Mullumbimby Camera Club. Started in 1954, the club
comprised about 12 members with meetings held at the Civic Hall. The local chemist supplied chemicals and papers and members set up darkrooms at home in their bathrooms. Demonstration nights were held on how to process films and Myrra Snow gave talks on composition. The club was active for about ďŹ ve years before declining interest caused it to cease operating, although Mrs Snow and stalwart member Ed Watson continued to take photographs after the club had folded. Many of the photographs on display are those taken by Mrs Snow. Included are photographs of Stewart Motors, which looks remarkably unchanged, the only clue that the photograph is not a recent one being the vintage of the cars; Holling-
worth Sawmill, the Mullumbimby Saleyards, and (pictured) a photograph of Slogroveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fruit Shop in Burringbar Street, now the location of Jamesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Electrical Store. On the left of the fruit shop is the auctioneer Jack Basset, where the Chincogan Store is today, and on the right is the Courthouse Hotel before it burned down, now the site of the Chincogan Tavern. There is also a display entitled 24/7 which describes a womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s week using domestic objects from the museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s collection such as a copper for boiling clothes, scrubbing board, darning equipment, pedal organ and an early electric stove. There are stories of how women made their homes through the generations from the 1880s until recent times.
The museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opening hours have been very limited until recently, but thanks to Sarah Newson and Liz Walton, who are trainers with the Ballina Employment Training Centre Work for the Dole scheme, the museum is now able to open Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday from 11am to 3pm and every market Saturday. Sarah and Liz are training workers how to restore old photographs, scan them and put them on a database providing an excellent pictorial record of the township. Liz is concerned that many photographs of interest are not getting to them and is urging people who think they have something worth recording to ring the museum on 6684 4867. The photographs will be scanned and returned to the owners free of charge.
Summer ďŹ rst aid can help save lives NSW Health has called on the community to learn some simple ďŹ rst aid techniques that could help save a life this summer from natural hazards such as snakes and spiders or blue bottles that can ruin a summer holiday. Dr Robert Day, acting director of emergency medicine at Sydneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Royal North Shore Hospital is an expert in poisonous bites and stings. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;While bluebottle stings are generally not fatal, they can be extremely painful. If someone is stung the best treatment is to clear the tentacles away with water and apply a cold pack or ice for 15 minutes,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said Dr Day. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Victims should also seek professional medical treatment.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; He said people should also be aware of the blue-ringed octopus sting. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;It is quite dangerous
because the poison can cause paralysis, so recommended treatment in this instance is to take the patient straight to hospital,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said Dr Day. Enjoying more outdoor activities can also expose the community to the dangers of the bush including spiders and snakes. Understanding the correct first aid for a snake or spider bite can mean the difference between life and death, says Dr Day. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vital a bite victim receives appropriate ďŹ rst aid immediately. This should be done as a priority before calling for expert help,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; he said. First aid procedures for snake and spider bites include:
â&#x20AC;˘ place a ďŹ rm bandage to the limb commencing at the bite site, then going down to the ďŹ ngers or toes and then up the limb to the hip or shoulder â&#x20AC;&#x201C; use whatever material is available including clothing as bandages; â&#x20AC;˘ keep the limb still; â&#x20AC;˘ bring transport to the patient; â&#x20AC;˘ the patient should not attempt to walk or run; â&#x20AC;˘ under no circumstances should the bandage be removed until the patient has reached hospital; and â&#x20AC;˘ call 000 once First Aid has been applied. Dr Day said people living in bushfire danger areas need to be especially wary of snakes and spiders as in the event of a ďŹ re they may be frightened out of their natural habitat and into peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s homes. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Of course, prevention is better than cure. When it
comes to avoiding a snake bite the best advice is simply to leave the snake alone,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; he said. Dr Day said that in almost 80 per cent of cases seen in hospitals, people are bitten when they attempt to either catch or kill a snake. Brown Snakes and Tiger Snakes cause the majority of snakebites in Australia. The most dangerous spiders in NSW are the Funnel Web, Mouse Spider and the Red Back, which can all cause serious illness and can be fatal. In 2005 the north coast had 1,009 emergency department (ED) visits for bites and stings (insects, snakes and spiders), compared to say, 1,578 for Hunter and New England. Fact sheets about stings and bites are available from the NSW Health website at www.health.nsw.gov.au

Asylum seekers turn spotlight on West Papuaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nightmare Lesley Patterson The arrival of 43 asylum seekers from West Papua has focussed Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attention on the plight of this largely forgotten land. Its people have been pushed into the shadows as the spotlight shone on the emergence of East Timor as an independent nation. West Papuans have been fighting for independence since the 1960s when the Dutch surrendered their former colony. With the prospect of independence alluringly close in 1962, Indonesian troops stepped in to take control. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Once living in relative isolation from the world, the Papuan people in the last 50 years have been relentlessly confronted by modernity in the form of foreign mining companies and the Indonesian army,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; says the Australian West Papua Association. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Since the late 1960s the West Papuan economy has been based on the extraction of gold, copper, timber, oil and gas. The Papuan popula-
tion is largely excluded from this economy.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; The American owned Freeport mine, based in the south of West Papua at Timika is the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest gold mine and third largest copper mine. After nearly 40 years of Indonesian occupation, the native population of West Papua saw a glimmer of hope for independence in 1998 when the hardline Indonesian leader Suharto fell from power. Steps towards freedom were taken and in June 2000 a meeting of Papuan delegates elected a Papuan Presidium and nominated Theys Eluay as their leader and a law was passed to grant the nation ďŹ scal and administrative autonomy. Indonesian military forces in West Papua were not keen to surrender their control and several members of the Presidium were arrested and in November 2001 Theys Eluay was assassinated. Nine members of the Indonesian military were accused of the killing but according to the

Australian West Papua Association, mere two year sentences were handed out to junior ofďŹ cers. Myocum resident Susan Skyvington organised a rally in Byron Bay last week with members of the Byron West Papua Action Group, to draw attention to the plight of the Papuan people. Susan became involved in the Indonesian controlled provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s struggle over six years ago when her son was arrested and spent six months in a West Papuan jail. Saul Dalton, who was 26 at the time, had volunteered with the United Nations to help with the independence referendum in East Timor. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;To escape the sudden escalation of horriďŹ c violence in Timor, Saul jumped on an inter-island passenger boat on September 6,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; recalls Susan. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The next day John Howard announced we would send troops in to stop the massacre, and suddenly Australia was number one enemy of Indonesia.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Changing his plans to leave the passenger ferry in West Timor because of the
aggressive military presence, Saul stayed on board until he reached Jayapura in West Papua. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;He phoned me and I urged him to fly back to Australia rather than return by boat to Timor...I had discovered a weekly direct ďŹ&#x201A;ight from Timika [in the south of West Papua] to Darwin. Still naive, I did not know that it was the airline servicing the giant unscrupulous Freeport gold and copper mine. No wonder that Saul, with a checkable history of opposing abusive mining ventures, sounded reluctant..,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; explains Susan. As Australian Interfet troops entered East Timor, Saul was arrested boarding the flight from Timika to Darwin on September 24. So began a six month nightmare for Susan, taking her to Jakarta and West Papua in an attempt to free her son. Initially she believed Saul would be free within a week, but as negotiations between her lawyers and the Indonesian military police became increasingly deadlocked her hopes of freeing him faded.
Saul had been branded an Australian provocateur and a spy, partly based on the discovery of a small Papuan independence flag in his belongings, and was facing up to 27 years in prison. After two months detention without charge, Saul was ďŹ nally accused of travelling to West Papua without the correct visa and carrying a knife, which he had bought to cut open coconuts. The threatened 27 years in prison was reduced to six months incarceration in the jungle detention centre near Timika followed by a move to a prison in Jayapura. Since1999, Susan says
both she and Saul have been involved in the ďŹ ght to secure West Papua its freedom. One of the asylum seekers on the boat which landed at Cape York on January 18 is Herman Wanggai who made the journey with his wife and two children. Mr Wanggai was jailed for two years in West Papua simply because he dared to raise the Morning Star, the ďŹ&#x201A;ag signifying the West Papuan peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ ght for freedom and the same ďŹ&#x201A;ag which was found on Saul Dalton. The asylum seekers were escaping a violent regime and the boat carried a banner asking for West Papuans to be saved from genocide, intimidation and terrorism from the military government of Indonesia. Constant reports of human rights abuses by the Indonesian military have been ďŹ led by sources such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch. Last year a report produced by the Yale Law School described the actions of the Indonesian military over the last 30 years as genocide. The Australian West Papua Association and a local group, the Byron West Papua Action Group, are lobbying the Australian government to work towards the demilitarisation of West Papua and establishing its legal status as a nation. For more information contact Susan Skyvington on 6684 7878, Michelle on 6685 3388 or Matthew on 0418 291 998.
Call for regional investment The NSW government has urged the federal government to make sure regional communities benefit from jobs and business generated from foreign investment. NSW Minister for Regional Development David Campbell said booming regional centres want investors and the federal government needs to ensure
Invest Australia encourages foreign investment in country towns and regions. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Since 1999, the NSW government has attracted more than $4.3 billion in regional investment,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Mr Campbell said. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve actively targeted jobs and investment with our practical and workable programs and key support. Now the federal government needs to make sure Invest Australia is working with us to attract foreign investment in country NSW. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Invest Australia needs to promote regional NSW which is an economic powerhouse, generating jobs and exports that benefit the NSW community. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s essential the Federal government works closely with the states and territories. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We need to streamline the investment process and to do that we need everyone to work together to make the most of competitive regional advantages and niche markets. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve written to the Federal Minister for Regional Services Warren Trussâ&#x20AC;Ś to voice my concerns.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Our bodies are lasting longer: what about our state of mind? according to psychologist Professor David Kavanagh, recovery often lies in reaching out to others. The University of Queensland researcher is pioneering a free program to help people deal with depression, par ticularly those in regional areas. ‘The program is helping to build lives and build strength. Getting people to develop their good aspects through strong personal relationships, getting involved in their community and helping others. ‘The critical thing is being able to detect the early signs and act quickly to head off a full depressive episode,’ explains Professor Kavanagh. ‘For some people these can occur at regular times like the anniversary of a death or at a particular kind of difficult or negative event, such as going for a job interview.’ Increasing physical activity is also a part of the On Track program which recommends walking as a good emotional pick-up. Professor Kavanagh agrees that depression is emerging as a key source of early death and disability in industrial countries and says that the very stressful nature of modern life is partly to blame. However he points to advances in the treatment of other diseases which previously accounted for early death, Negative track leaving a vacuum which Like ball bearings rundepression and other menning down a well-worn tal illnesses are filling. tack, thoughts veer uncontrollably into the negative, Anti-depressants stifling any enthusiasm to In line with the rising socialise or climb out of the incidence of depression, deep it. the prescribing of antiSleeping and sitting depressants increased draglued to the television matically dur ing the seem to be the only escapes 1990s. at these gloomy times, ‘Medication is the most which can last for days or common solution [for even weeks. depression], the most readIt is not abnormal to ily available and the cheaphave feelings of unhappi- est, but it is not the perfect ness at times.

Socialising is an important step in overcoming depression, some experts say.
practitioner, many of whom can’t spend the lengthy time often required for depression. ‘Up to 30% of patients in any one general practice have had depression according to our research. This means a large number of people that GPs could
spend time with,’ he said. The University of Queensland research project is aiming to find ways of working with GPs to treat depression and the current program is exploring the use of mail and email to help patients. Many sufferers of depres-
sion do not seek help and it is a subject that up until now has not been commonly discussed around the barbie. Finding someone to talk to about treating depression is not hard. Lifeline’s Justask helpline number is 1300 131115 and its web-
site at www.justask.org.au contains a tool kit for beating the blues. Suggestions include seeing a doctor, taking more exercise, doing something you enjoy even if it is as simple as buying a magazine or taking a hot bath, and making regular contact with friends and family. Help is also available from SANE Australia’s helpline and Beyond Blue has an informative website. The Australian National University says there is evidence that training programs using cognitive behaviour therapy might prevent depression before it occurs and has launched an online program called MoodGYM (www.bluepages.anu.edu. au). While it was designed to help young people they say it will work as well for those of us who are a ‘bit longer in the tooth’. One of five Australians will experience depression during their lifetime. Mental health has long been underfunded in the health budget and an injection of funds is now sorely needed to provide help for this growing disease. It’s also time our mantra for a healthy life included some direction on how to avoid the black holes.

Lesley Patterson Eating sensibly and exercising regularly have become the mantra for a long and healthy life. While much attention has been focussed on our bodies it appears our minds have been heading into a state of bad health. I was disturbed to learn recently that depression will be one of the developed world’s top five illnesses in the next 15 years according to the World Health Organisation. Even today around one million Australians are suffering from the disease. Why, I wondered, is this happening? As a society we must be doing something seriously wrong somewhere – is it that the stresses of modern life are too much for many of us, that the daily assault of bad news is overwhelming, or that a diet of television, junk food and lack of exercise is bad for the head as well as the heart. I have a friend who has suffered from depression over several years and have watched how it has affected her life as well as that of her family. Since her 40s she has been affected by periods of profound unhappiness and anxiety. During these times she seems to ‘disappear’ down a black hole, unable to communicate except by a massive effort of will.

AKIMBO IMPORTS Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Well, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about heart and giving. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot to be said for something when you made it yourself, hey, you may turn into a cottage industry! At worst youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll end up with some fabulous jewellery.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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.

Getting the hang of it EVERYTHING YOU EVER WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT PIERCING BUT WERE TO AFRAID TO ASK!: SPACE COWBOY UNPLUGGED. Ever since I took my kids to see the Space Cowboy, no cutlery is safe. I ďŹ nd my progeny perched under the kitchen table, under their beds, locked in the toilet, performing what I could only describe as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;reikiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; on a dessert spoon. No bending has occurred through any magical mind melding, but a few forks do show noticeable kinks from being driven into the carpet in sheer frustration. Chayne Hultgren is a Byron boy who grew up to be the Space Cowboy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a bizarrely talented twenty something sideshow freak. Now I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean that unkindly. After witnessing his show with mouth agape as he mind read, sword swallowed and bent spoons I could only wonder how someone discovers such an untrodden life path? â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;School wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t my favourite thing. I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t brilliant at school, but as soon as I left school I started collecting heaps of books and getting into what I wanted to do. It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem like I was learning what I needed
at school...Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m dyslexic and being labelled as this and being told I had a learning disability can make it tough at school. I went to Byron High last time I was here and did a motivational speech for the kids â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a lot of people who get labelled dyslexic become encouraged not to learn â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they need to understand that they get their information in a different way.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; So how does a parent support their child when they have chosen such an unconventional career? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not like they offer piercings and sword swallowing at Tafe. I wonder how his Mum can even bare to sit through a show without running shrieking from the theatre. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;My Mum and Dad both come to the show and my dad, I remember years ago when I ďŹ rst started performing the Freak show I put a kebab skewer through my throat and then swallowed a sword. When my Mum saw it she stood up and started clapping. Years ago my Mum said any piercing is barbaric!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Chayne has 16 piercings at any one time, implants, tattoos. I wonder whether the piercing is a prelude to the pain acceptance and management so much of his performance
demands. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been piercing myself since I was ten â&#x20AC;&#x201C; dealing with pain is about acceptance, if you suffer for a reason you arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really suffering at all, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not really pain at all.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know about that. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had three babies, and man, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re suffering for a reason, but it still bloody hurts. I ask Chayne about his implants. He has one very noticeable spine that
needle I pierce with â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I take out the rods through a healed pocked inside, and the hook goes into the scar tissue â&#x20AC;&#x201C; then itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only two little cuts that need to heal â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I will be doing the suspension from my back on Friday.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Such a suspension obviously takes great mind control. I curse when my hairbrush gets caught in my sleeper, but I certainly didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realise that I could be using the pain to reach a
â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;(It will be) the ďŹ rst underwater upside down sword
swallow...â&#x20AC;&#x2122; juts out from his sternum. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s carved out of PTFC, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a plastic twice as slippery as ice. You make a little insertion â&#x20AC;&#x201C; make a pocket under the skin â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it heals in a couple of days â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard but ďŹ&#x201A;exible as well. I also have 2 rods in each pec - they are like about 10 or 12 cm. I use them to stop scarring when I perform the Indian Sundance. I use a slightly 1 mm thicker hook than the
higher spiritual plateau. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Sundance is in a few cultures, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still going today â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for healing, because you go through such a traumatic experience and if you believe enough then itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s healing you. Traditionally you could be hung up from a few minutes to a few hours â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the most Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been hung up is half hour. I was with the Kamikaze freak show (Scotland) and I was with John
Kamikaze â&#x20AC;&#x201C; he was the human pin cushion and for one publicity stunt we hung him in a butcherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shop window and hung him up like meat for 5 hours â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it was a World Record.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; The family of Sideshow performers is a small one, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not surprising that Space Cowboy has worked alongside nearly every living freakshow star you could name. I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but ask if heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been inspired or worked with Jimmy Roseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s phallic attraction, Mr Lifto, the bloke who can life weights with the piercing in his penis. Of course he had. And Chayne admitted to trying a few stunts, but felt it was a little too revealing. It is a courageous but very clean show! Of course, some of Chayneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still give it a go. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I was in a show with Power Tool the Penile Phenomeneon. He was under a metre tall but had quite a large member, he got a girl to come out of the audience and sit on an ofďŹ ce chair, he lifts up his kilt, attachs the chain and drags the girl around the stage on the ofďŹ ce chair...â&#x20AC;&#x2122; As Chayne admits in his show, Sword Swallowing has a pretty high mortality rate.

THESOAPBOX with Mandy Nolan
Throw the book at me I LOVE LIBRARIES. I grew up in a tiny country town that offered a public facility not much larger than a medium sized caravan. It housed mainly Mills & Boon and Westerns for the intellectuals (those that could read) and a comprehensive collection of National Geographic for those who preferred pictures. Particularly of breasts. (This is what men had to do before SBS). Although poorly stocked, I managed to work through all of the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;What Katy Didâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;sâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; (although she never seemed to do anything at all. I want to write a followup where she pierces her nipples and joins an underground separatist lesbian feminist cell). I read Little Women, but grew to be a Big one instead. I empathised with Pollyannaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sad tale in pigtails and calipers and a part of me wished I had polio too. Damn, I was just one generation short of rickets. At puberty I devoured countless Agatha Christies, Hardy Boys Mysteries, Nancy Drew and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m ashamed to admit that I was once a devout Trixie Beldon fan. The idea of children catching criminals was eminently appealing, particularly as I lived in a town full of
FROM PAGE 1 â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only 50 - 80 sword swallowers alive at the moment, (the oldest being a 75 year old Russian chap). There are a lot of injuries: mainly puncturing of the stomach and internal bleeding. There are two records for the longest
paedophiles. I loved reading. It freaked my family out. Mum would yell â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;put that book down and come and watch TV.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d worked through the readable texts at my local library, and had to start sourcing from secondhand bookshops. I was only 13 when I read William Whartonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Birdieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; the delusional tale of a returned soldier who fantasises that he is a budgie making love with other budgies. It was a big jump from Pride and Prejudice, where there is not even a single passage on feathered love. But it was at University that I found my library fetish was most fully satiated. Floors and ďŹ&#x201A;oors of books. Countless rows. Fields of narrative. Millions of pages of texts I would never read. It was overwhelming. I just loved the smell of it. Then someone told me thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because old books contain mould which is mildly hallucinogenic. Wow. Why take acid when you can drop a book? The Byron library has always reminded me of my hometown facility. On a whim I popped in the other day, and applied for a card. I was shocked to discover that I was already a member. I owe the library $66 for lost books. I have
sword swallow â&#x20AC;&#x201C; me and this giant : I have a weird shaped stomach. When I was a kid I had digestive problems â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they found out I had a congential division of the stomach, meaning my stomach is split â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help me swallow any easier, but it helps me to

borrowerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blackout. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even remember reading the damn things. They are as follows: (and I am not making this up) â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;What am I doingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Little Bear Lostâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Sally wants to Helpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Good Dog Carl.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if these are kiddies titles or self-help books. Either way I am plagued with guilt. Some childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life could have been changed forever with a reading of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Good Dog Carlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve taken that away. I am a bad borrower. A non-returner. I have broken the library code. I have offended the big librarian in the sky. I am in literary exile. Left to wander a dreary literature free landscape, without the solace of even a post-modern paragraph as salve for my shame. OH the Winton free Woe! I suppose I could just pay the ďŹ ne and stop whingeing, but where is the tragedy in that? I deserve a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;novelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; kind of reprimand. They should throw the book at me, tie me to a pyre and throw paperbacks, hard covers, Encyclopedia Britiannicas, bookcases...OK. Sorry. The chequeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the mail. You wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen to have a more recent edition of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Good Dog Carl?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;
swallow longer swords. Most sword swallowers only swallow into their oesophagus.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; The 6 million dollar question... How do you teach yourself to swallow â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is there a secret over ride button for the dreaded gag reďŹ&#x201A;ex?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I got some advice from a sword swallower in England and then one in Australia â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but because thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so few no one wants to give away information â&#x20AC;&#x201C; you have to show them that you have put in a lot of effort. I started with a piece of string with sponge on it and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d swallow it down a little, then meditate as it goes to each spot, isolating the muscles and contracting. It was a long time before I swallowed my ďŹ rst sword, (hoses were next). When I was actually doing it I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be fearful.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; There is something of the Houdini in Hultgren who randomly picked me from an audience recently and drew the image I was visualising in a matter of minutes. There I was drawing a red dragonďŹ&#x201A;y with silver wings, and after a few questions he had discerned my image precisely.

I have a weight lifting bar welded onto a sword handle, I swallow the sword and then I get two gas canisters and some barbells and then stand up and suspend the whole thing from the sword in my throat ..I also swallow a microphone so people can hear the gag reďŹ&#x201A;ex..â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Such acts of sensation and shock from a very polite and sweet young man. I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what makes him such an impressive performer. His work, while risky, is life afďŹ rming, you can tell that Chayne really loves his work! â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not out there to gross people out. I love what I do. I love my body and I love myself, but I am into self adornment and pushing the body and the mind.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; And heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll certainly push a few comfort zones.

Freak Show his upcoming offering, is not for the faint hearted. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Both nights are different â&#x20AC;&#x201C; on the ďŹ rst night I will be pulling someone across the stage in a cart with pierced eye sockets, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sword blade that I put into an electric drill and it spins around and then I set the handle on ďŹ re (while swallowed of course).

This Friday sees reggae groove guruâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tommee and the Neighbourhood supported by Freakylou jumping on the lounge for one ďŹ nal bounce before she gets a little metaphysical re-upholstering. Tommee and The Neighbourhood was a crowd favourite at 200506 Woodford Folk Festival where the audience was still cheering 5 minutes after they left the stage. They combine roots, reggae, blues, latin and afro beats to create their own urban jungle groove. Freakylou is a Brisbane-based seven piece jazz reggae band with an extensive repertoire of original dance music. Backed by one of the heaviest rhythm sections in the land, and featuring soloists on sax, trumpet, trombone, lead guitar, keyboards and voice, the sound is irresistibly danceable.

ii GETTING HIGH ON THE FUMES Steve Merry, Bob Brozoman and Joel Battersby are The Fumes. They deliver multifacetted, stylistic raw blues tunes mashed with healthy rock riffs and snappy beats. Having left Sydney an already accomplished exponent of the resonator guitar, Steve is now more than ever strongly articulated in the ďŹ nger picking rhythms and slide techniques that are relatively rare in Australia. During 2005 The Fumes surged through with lightning pace. Support for others came in packages that ranged from The Beautiful Girls, Dallas Crane, Ash Grunwald, The Pictures, and Dan Kelly. The Fumes released their ďŹ rst ofďŹ cial single to the media in July of 2005 and the newly minted â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Oh My Babylonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; with its beautifully built arrangement, a big intro and a huge rousing ending it had radioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s instant attention. The Fumes also made their festival debuts in 2005. The Great Southern Blues Festival sold out of their pre-release EP before the end of their encore. They garnered the same â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;sell outâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; result at Newtown Festival (Sydney) and Peats Ridge Festival (Central Coast NSW). To cap it off, The Fumes went on to take out â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Blues Artist of The Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; at the Music Oz Awards, with a spectacular live performance televised nationally on SBS. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2006 and The Fumes are putting ďŹ nal touches on their ofďŹ cial debut album produced by Lindsay Gravina at Birdland Studios in Melbourne. The chemistry is good and the album promises to be chock full of swagger, groove and assured great times. The guys have signed a recording deal with Silent Partner thru Inertia. The anticipated album is due for release in March 2006. Catch a whiff of the Fumes while you can. They play the Hotel Great Northern on Sunday.

ii THE RE-MAINS HAVE THEIR DAY Following their recent escapades at the Tamworth Country Music Festival, upstaging Golden Guitar presenter Russell Crowe with impromptu Gladiatorial contests in the front bar of the Courthouse Hotel, the Re-Mains return to one of their spiritual homes, the Nimbin Hotel on Saturday. It all started for the country rock and roll renovators behind those venerable walls. Nimbin recognised the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s potential for creating magniďŹ cent mayhem early on and hosted many of their early shows, lighting the fuse for the country rock and roll explosion that has since taken the band all over the country and threatens to send them overseas at any tick of the timebomb.

LIVEMUSIC ii A UTOPIAN SURPRISE One of the Shiresâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; most loved funk outďŹ ts warm up their horns for a Thursday night blast at the Beach Hotel. The Utopians released an album last year, a true testament to their signiďŹ cant talent. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s swing, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ska, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blues, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jazz, and if you know whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good for you, there should be you too!
and mournful, ancient and contemporary. Everytime they have that debate about the national anthem I think stuff
thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no way you can sing along, because man, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be dancing. Used to be that Rolf Harris was the only whitey who had some of the mastery of this wooden pipe, but over the years, a few others have stepped up to the plate and
ii RIDGEY DIDGE Australia Day has come and gone and I have to admit, the National Anthem doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it for me. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to encapsulate the stories of this place â&#x20AC;&#x201C; nor does Waltzing Matilda, a strange tale of a man and a sheep and a very sturdy backpack. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the didge that seems to conjure up the spirit of the place. Like a blast from the Rainbow Serpent itself from the unique gutteral and meandering bass of a long desert night to the piercing shrills of 8am Oxford Street peak hour, the didgeridoo traces the landscape, tells the secret stories both triumphant
The Re-Mains, at the Nimbin Hotel, Saturday it, they should have the didge, then we really would have something to be proud of and

And the Lord said: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;A drum in every home and in every second home a drummer.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play drums for shit. But that shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop me. We have a god given right to bang out our pulse, however erratic! Of course, you could always learn a few techniques and become part of a growing percussive community!

ii A CHANCE TO CHANT Deva Premal and Miten the poster couple for loving chants are running an ecstatic chant and devotional singing retreat. Now, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be honest here. Chanting is not my bag, and neither is devotional music. I would rather have carrots shoved in my ears and my head dunked into a bucket of tofu then have to chant, but I probably have issues. The main issue is that I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stand chanting. Now, while I may hold that view on chanting I am well aware many of my beautiful
brothers and sisters have found solace, enlightenment and buckets of joy chanting. So what better opportunity to take your devotional singing to a higher plain then by coming together with Deva

They are inclusionists and state: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Everybody with a voice can sing, and everyone with a breath in their divinity. Our nourishment and lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work is to create spaces around the planet where the silence that follows the chant is clearly tangible. We share with others the healing power of the voice, and the bliss that it brings.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Funkey Forest Mountain Retreat Centre in the Main Arm Valley.

mic comedy competition. The lucky likelies then progress through a series of semi and state ďŹ nals, before slugging it out at the National Grand Final (NGF) at the Melbourne Town Hall (MTH) as part of the 2006 Melbourne International Comedy Festival (MICF) in April (A). The RAW Comedy Grand Final winner is then ďŹ&#x201A;own to the Edinburgh Fringe, the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most prestigious and voluminous comedy event. RAW has unearthed a heap of high proďŹ le talent who keep Australia laughing in their established careers. Who isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t
didge is capable of sophisticated sound. For musician and composer Ganga Giri, his mastery of the didge has seen him receive international acclaim and he has just returned from a successful tour of the US and Canada to perform one show only at Coorabell Hall. (Apparently he was heard to proclaim: Damn it, get me out of Vegas, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m on at Coorabell where people know how to dance.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;) GANGA GIRI is joined on stage by some inspirational indigenous musicians and dancers, world musicians and some top DJâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. His music is energetic, live and powerful. Ganga melds techno dance music with the natural sounds of the indigenous instruments creating an uplifting unforgettable dance music experience. Ganga has a powerful rhythmic style. His ensemble mixes pumping percussive didj with fat tribal beats, funky bass lines and world percussion to create a unique tribal technological deep earth dance experience. Explosive and pulsating at times, ambient and ďŹ&#x201A;owing at others, the music is a experience of complex grooves and raw, natural sounds. Coorabell Hall Saturday 11 February, from 8pm. Tix $18/15 and available at the door.
glad that Adam Spencer, Peter Helliar, Dave Callan, Lawrence Mooney, Damian Callinan, Chris Lilley or Sarah Kendall were given the encouragement to keep holding the microphone? And not all of these were RAW winners â&#x20AC;&#x201C; so even if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t win it, the ride is worth every nervous twitch. Last year over 700 newbies tried their luck with 14 making it through to the National Final. The other 686 or so also had a great experience. Many have continued throughout the rest of the year doing spots at other open mic nights in their town, and they all got a few laughs along the way. So this year, to recognise all new entrants, MICF is introducing a new prize, the RAW Recruitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Prize. In addition to announcing Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best RAW Comedian at the National Final, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll also declare the best ďŹ rst-time entrant in RAW to be our RAW Recruit Winner. With heats for the 2006 RAW Comedy Festival just around the corner, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to get entries in. Log onto Raw Comedy at www.comedfestival.com.au We have two heats in March at the Byron Bowling Club. So click on for your chance to make the country chuckle.

ii THE JAXSON FIVE Five things you are going to love about Jay Jaxson: the ďŹ rst is the depth and the power of her voice. Secondly, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s her status as an accomplished songwriter, putting out lyrics raw in their
honesty, conveying a keen perception for matters of the head and the heart. Thirdly, the girl is a ďŹ ne acoustic guitar player and for Four sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a master of the harmonica and ďŹ&#x201A;ute as well as bass, rhythm guitar, keyboard, percussion and didgeridoo. Now youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re wondering, can this woman do no wrong? What can the possible ďŹ fth reason be: well sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just got that high energy style that seeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s her fronting a band or performing solo. Jay Jaxson, a woman with talent, drive and motivation with her roots in the folk and blues scene, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be playing a heart string somewhere near you. She plays the Bangalow Hotel on Saturday and at the Rails on Tuesday.

A Buddhist master in the Karma Kagyu tradition of Tibetan Buddhism, Danish born Lama Ole Nydahl and his wife Hannah have been travelling and teaching in a different city virtually every day for the last 30 years. Under his guidance Diamond Way Buddhism has become established in western countries and is now one of the largest Buddhist organizations in the world. Lama Ole always gives his audience a broad overview of Buddhaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teach-

the overall producer. Actors, backstage crew and techies are all needed too. So if you want to get involved, there is plenty of opportunity. If you want to either submit a play or get involved as either a director, actor or crew then please phone Geoff Phair to register
your interest. 6687 4278 or email baywritetheatre@yahoo. com.au for this July event at the Byron Community Centre.
ii ART: ON THE VERGE OF A MERGE e- (Merge) is the ďŹ rst in the Show Case project at the Piece Gallery. The title reďŹ&#x201A;ects on two signiďŹ cant aspects of this exhibition. The ďŹ rst is the e-mergence of two established local artists, John Smith and Shelagh Morgan, who have lived and worked in the Byron shire since 1983 and yet whose work is not easily accessible to the local community. The second is that these two artists, who share a common address and a dedication to their art practice, manage to merge most things in their lives, except the way they work and the images that they produce. Although they have had some 40 solo exhibitions in the last 24 years this is probably only the third time that they have exhibited work in their home shire. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The stories we tell â&#x20AC;&#x201C; through a visual language â&#x20AC;&#x201C; about our lives here are rarely seen in a local context, although this exhibition is really a very small slice of the breadth of our practice it is personally signiďŹ cant to be able to exhibit it here,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said John Smith. Shelagh adds: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We come from such different backgrounds and histories that it would be difďŹ cult to image how we could ever make work that looked even vaguely similar, Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work is expressive and gestural and in many ways an ongoing self portrait in process, whereas I work from a much more structured language based position.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Opening on Friday from 6pm.

Vincent: Ah, so by that rationale, if a pig had a better personality, he would cease to be a ďŹ lthy animal. Is that true?

8 Mile (or Boyz n the Hood) it ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, but the bio-pic of rapper Curtis â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;50 Centâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Jackson is an absorbing though strictly conventional entertainment. Jim Sheridan is an expert ďŹ lmmaker who knows precisely when to press the right buttons for maximum effect on his target audience. The movie looks great, has some memorable scenes (the homo-erotic savagery of the prison shower ďŹ ght is pure Pasolini) and ďŹ nds an agreeable if repetitive rhythm. It succeeds as mythology but, not surprisingly, makes no attempt to rattle the attitudinal cages from which its subject/product has emerged. The story of 50 Cent powers from victimisation to redemption to apotheosis, perpetuating the hipness of violence and the self-pity that presently goes hand-in-glove with depictions of the anti-hero. And why would media companies want to kill the goose? Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Byron crowd of middleclass white kids lapped it up. By its close, you feel that you have been exposed to an intensive PR session that is so conservative in its gloriďŹ cation of the rebel without a clue that the bloke whom it lionises seems as corny and likely to change the world as Kamahl.

Little Wallop is the kind of bucolic setting that you see most Sunday nights on ABC TV. Pretty lanes, shrubberies, a chocolate-box church and a woollen-clad congregation that actually attends its services. Unknowingly, the vicar, John Goodfellow (groan) becomes the centre of a murderous maelstrom. His son is bullied at school, his airhead daughter is a raving nymph and his neglected wife is being won over by her gigolo golf instructor. Into this Pleasantshire teetering on meltdown comes Grace, an old lady with a criminal past and whose secret relationship to the family is made too obvious at the outset. She acts as an avenging angel in dispatching their problems, a sort of Miss Marple in reverse. The movie is established on the strange premise that its audience will laugh at the slaughter of innocents but draw the line at adultery â&#x20AC;&#x201C; meaning that the more commonplace indiscretion is never allowed to sour the frivolity. It tries to ďŹ nd the rich vein of humour mined by the classic Ealing comedies, aiming perhaps for the whacky tone of Arsenic And Old Lace, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not very funny. John Campbell

S TA R S
SCORPIO: The year of the idealistic woofer finds you getting on your high horse where human rights and political hypocrisy are concerned. The Dog is fiercely faithful and absolutely committed which suits your loyalty requirements, and emotional honesty gets a helping hand as well this year.
CANCER: Every dog has its day and traditionally the year of the furry four footed one brings peace and harmony in the home â&#x20AC;&#x201C; resist the impulse to snap and nip over minor niggles and this could be a year of domestic serenity. Plus you can pass off your passion for hoarding as eco-recycling.
SAGITTARIUS: Dogs like yapping and this year thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be no end to those long, philosophical raves on the Sagittarian View Of Life, The Universe And Everything. But the Dogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s altruistic influence shows you how frankness tempered with thoughtfulness and compassion neednâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ever be offensive.
LEO: The year of the noble Dog is dead against wasteful extravagance, so better start recycling those MĂśet corks to Taronga Park Zooâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s environmental education and wildlife conservation fund. Forget about excess spending or careless investments. Moderation, yes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; speculation, no.
CAPRICORN: The Dog Year prizes the qualities of plain talking, unpretentiousness, social justice and taking responsibilities seriously â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all areas where Capricorns excel. In business Dog Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s traditionally cautious, pessimistic and stingy, favouring ethical investments and modest returns.
ARIES: Apparently the Dogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inflexible sense of right and wrong can cause major confrontations â&#x20AC;&#x201C; sound like anyone you know? Being top dog gets majorly stressful and this year of Ping Hsu, the Sleepy Dog, suggests spending less time barking and growling, more lolling and relaxingâ&#x20AC;Ś
VIRGO: The concerned canineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an over-anxious worrywort alert for trouble lurking round every corner, which could play havoc with your nerves. So rather than continually thinking Beware! try to just be aware of taking on the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s problems â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the Virgo/Dog Year cross produced Mother Teresa.
AQUARIUS: The year of the egalitarian, humanitarian hound will keep you involved with controversial issues and getting unconventional technologies up and running. Cars fuelled with used chip oil, photon powered mobiles, biodegradable buildings â&#x20AC;&#x201C; yeah, bring it on, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your kind of year.
TAURUS: The Dog Year favours social issues over material benefits â&#x20AC;&#x201C; disturbing news for comfort loving Taurans. But who knows: being involved in community projects or helping others in need could be more heartwarming than a new plasma screen and twin fridges.
LIBRA: The peace keeping Dog is said to be the Eastern equivalent of Libra â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and with this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s people seeing things in either/or, black or white terms, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have your work cut out presenting grey as an attractive option. And Chinese folklore says a Dog Year sorts out friends from enemies.
PISCES: The year of the canine quadruped is likely to shift Fish focus from first person singular survival to wider issues of group, community and planet. A supportive year with friends ready to help, and wellbeing within reach if you can be grateful for whatever comes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and goes.
Lilith
J Majik at Play
GEMINI: This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dog days could see Geminis developing a stronger social conscience and higher community profile â&#x20AC;&#x201C; spending more time livening up neighbourhood meetings and fundraising for charitable causes than hanging at openings with the Bolly/Stolli set.
Happy New Year again for the Eastern New Year of the Fire Dog â&#x20AC;&#x201C; traditionally a year slim on profits, strong on justice, with quite a bit of barking. And one which predicts the emergence of a more compassionate society. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hope. And to satisfy the chorus of Me! Me! How will it be for me?...

Ho r a t i o Bi t e m a r k
Bosworth, intent on celebrating Australia Day in the best possible manner, put through a call to a high-ranking friend at the American embassy to see in what way relations with our good and powerful ally could be strengthened. He was advised, after some reminiscing with his chum about a game of hand grenade golf they had played in Laos in 1968, of an Adopt-A-CIA-Agent program which had been instituted especially for the occasion. Before we knew it, Bosworth had arranged for one of the spook chaps to drop round to the Myocum clubhouse for a spot of glad-handing and imbibing. We had feared the arrival of some buzzcut beefcake oozing machismo and steely intent of the lowest order but our alloted agent turned out to be a man of considerable charm who chieďŹ&#x201A;y used said charm to woo information from the wives of embassy ofďŹ cials while in his spare time constructing an uncrackable code based on the poetry of HaďŹ z of Shiraz: thus â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Open my grave when I am dead, and thou shalt see a cloud of smoke rising out from it; then shalt thou know that the ďŹ re still burns in my dead heart â&#x20AC;&#x201C; yea, it has set my very winding-sheet alightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; would become â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The tanks are gathering in numbers at the Kazakhstan borderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Agent Mike Throttleby had graduated from Harvard with a degree in particle physics. He spoke seven languages ďŹ&#x201A;uently, could get by in another six, and was regarded as an international authority on Middle-Eastern mystical poetry. In his late thirties, he had a handsome, boyish face and a sweep of blond hair across his forehead guaranteed to part suggestible and/or bored women from their undergarments. He brought to the club by way of introduction a sports bag full of LSD25, left over from the Companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s infamous dosings of the late sixties. As we partook on the deck that night â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the stars seeming to ďŹ ll the entire sky, ready to embrace us in their diamond light â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the valets handed round bowls of lychees and pistachio nuts, accompanied by glasses of soda water garnished with a slice of lemon. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very good of you â&#x20AC;&#x201C; whaddyacallit â&#x20AC;&#x201C; chaps to invite me to your place,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said Throttleby. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;It can get kinda lonely out in the ďŹ eld where youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re always engaged in, you know, role play.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Think nothing of it, dear chap,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;though one might regard all of our interactions as role play.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; There was a long silence as several intoxi-
cated men tried to fathom if this was a deep and meaningful pronouncement. It probably wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, and we soon moved on to throwing grapes through a ceiling fan amid much giggling. Throttleby was made of more driven stuff than the rest of us, who would have been happy with the fan experiment for several hours, and he began running up and down three ďŹ&#x201A;ights of stairs in the clubhouse. We wandered over to a railing purloined from the Vatican in 1879 and looked on. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;You know, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kinda like the three worlds of shamanism,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said Throttleby, barely puffing from his exertions. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;That billiards room is the underworld, the reading room the middle world and this here deck the upper world, the abode of sky gods.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Steady on,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said Abbotsleigh, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want any gods after my lychees.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; He had by this stage decorated his forearm in lychee skin, imagining that he was some kind of fruity reptile. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Kinda the Chaos, Gaia and Eros of Myocum, as the poet Ovid might have it,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said Throttleby. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The interrogation rooms at Langley were never like this.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Indeed, I thought to myself, not wishing to offend a guest, and the CIA and its machinations cannot hold a candle to the stealth with which Mother Nature inďŹ ltrates the human heart and will one day bring down all the tarnished ediďŹ ces of power.

An Oriental ineptitude
Federal
Vi c t o r i a C o s f o rd Deferring, albeit unconsciously, to the imminence of Chinese New Year, I tracked down a baby spring chicken from Wholly Smoked and several exotic bottles from Red Ginger, then set about reproducing a recipe I had found for Ginger Soy Chicken. It sounded foolproof and its accompanying photograph of dark and sticky thighs under a veil of sesame seeds made me want to eat the page. Instead I blanched broccolini and steamed jasmine rice, arranging symmetrical mounds of the latter on to my homely plates upon which I then draped the baked chicken. It just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work. It neither resembled its photo nor tasted of very much, but rather than blame the recipe I decided to blame some absent gene in my culinary makeup, the gene in charge of understanding Asian food. Hand me a bottle of olive oil, a tin of peeled tomatoes, some garlic and cheese and almost any vegetable and I will whip up a dish of divine, Mediterranean ďŹ&#x201A;avour: eyes closed I would still get it right. This is not brash preening at all â&#x20AC;&#x201C; merely acknowledgement of an understanding which has turned into an instinct. And so I am obliged, when the craving for Asian food strikes, to go out and be cooked for by experts. What the far north coast may lack in cutting-edge Asian restaurant experiences (think Sydneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tetsuyaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Longrain, Billy Kwong, Yoshi, and not forgetting Melbourneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sublime Flower Drum) it makes
up for in its range of affordable, friendly and mostly faithful ones. And so, in a Japanese mood, I may sit outside O Sushi in the decidedly unglamorous Woolworths carpark, popping warm salty endamame beans out of their pods and into my mouth as I await my Salmon Teriyaki and covertly observe the ethereal women in their minimal yoga garb select raw ďŹ sh and green seaweed from the hypnotic sushi train. Or seek out the coolness of Sushi Wave up the Pier Arcade for more revolving train tracks bearing dishes like jewels. Wistful for Vietnamese I will wend my way to Muoiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Feast where in the courtyard I could eat her green pawpaw and prawn salad endlessly or, more expansively, her meltingly good Wicked Duck. For Thai food the choice is harder: Templestone in Brunswick Heads means the long wooden table out the front and the river over the road and the Garlic Pepper Prawns and the Cashew Salad. Bang Thai in Bangalow means superb degustation nights and stylish, exciting modern tastes. Byronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Thai Lucy guarantees reliable, traditional and fun, and Thai@Byron a warm and mellow family-friendly meal. Or Billiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Thai cute-as-abutton in a cosy old house in Billinudgel. For Indian curries there is Oh Delhi and the Byron Orion, a pappadum apart in distance. Or I could ring Monique at Seaweed Cuisine or Eki at Misaki Byron and conspire that they come and do it all for me in the comfort of my own sweet home.

News Extra Natural disasters pose increasing risk, says researcher Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tourism industry needs to plan carefully for natural disasters which are claiming an increasing number of lives and creating a huge financial burden, according to a Southern Cross University researcher. Associate Professor Alison Specht, a lecturer at Southern Cross Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s School of Environmental Science and Management, is the author of a chapter titled â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Natural Disaster Managementâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in the book Tourism in Turbulent Times, launched in London last November. Ms Kay Dimmock, a lecturer in SCUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s School of Tourism and Hospitality Management, has also contributed a chapter (written with Damian Morgan), titled â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Risk management in outdoor and adventure tourism.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;
Professor Specht said the cost of disasters to the community and regional economies was enormous, as illustrated by events such as Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans and the tsunami which devastated much of southern Asia. She said there was no evidence as yet that the number of extreme natural events, such as earthquakes, ďŹ re, or ďŹ&#x201A;oods, was rising, but there was an increasing impact on life, property, and the economy. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The tourism industry is especially vulnerable because of its dependence on outsiders for income, and on other components of a region for goods and services. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Tourism is a discretionary expenditure and tourists are easily able to change their plans.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Fish might be good treatment for asthma Researchers at the University of Newcastle are investigating the role of dietary factors in the regulation of immune responses that are linked to asthma. These studies will provide insights into the role of dietary factors such as omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids that are contained in seafood, in the regulation of asthma. Principal Investigator, Dr
Phil Hansbro, Head of the Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bacteriology Research Group and CoInvestigator, Professor Paul Foster, Head of the Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Allergy/InďŹ&#x201A;ammation Research Group, believe that the decrease in omega3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in the diet may be a factor in the increasing incidence of asthma. Dr Hansbro and Professor
Foster say that the incidence of asthma has increased dramatically in the last 20 years and that a likely factor in this trend is the substantial change in our diets. The consumption of omega-3 fats from marine and plant sources has decreased over the last 50 years while the intake of other fats from fast/ processed foods has increased dramatically.
â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Epidemiological studies have shown that these dietary changes may be associated with increased asthma and allergy, especially in children,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; says Dr Hansbro. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We are in a strong position to investigate the prevention and treatment of asthma using a diet high in seafood components which have high levels of omega-3 fatty acids.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Sports Roundup with Alex McAuley Ballina swim team scoops the pool The Ballina Indoor Swim Team entered a number of competitors for the NSW State Age Swimming Championships held at the Sydney Aquatic Centre earlier this month and enjoyed some excellent results. Oliver Hubertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard work at training paid off when he took an incredible eight seconds off his personal best time in the 11yrs 200m freestyle to come ďŹ fth, and three seconds off his 100m freestyle. Lauren Casey swam personal best times in the 12yrs 100m butterďŹ&#x201A;y, 100m freestyle, 100m backstroke and 200m individual medley. Gemma Johnson had an outstanding champion-
ship, continuing her good form from last year. In the 15yrs events she won gold in personal best times in the 50m freestyle, 100m freestyle, 100m butterfly; silver in a personal best time in the 200m freestyle; and bronze in a personal best and national qualifying time in the 200m individual medley. Kate Johnson also had excellent results in the 18yrs with a gold in the 200m butterďŹ&#x201A;y, silver in the 400m freestyle, silver in the 200m freestyle, bronze in the 200m individual medley and bronze in the 100m butterďŹ&#x201A;y. Dean MacKay won bronze in the 400m freestyle in the 16yrs, while the
Top results for Brunswick nippers
highlight of the championships was Sean Johnson who made his ďŹ rst ďŹ nal at this level of competition in the 18yrs 50m freestyle. He then went on to swim a personal best time in the 100m freestyle to make his second ďŹ nal of the championship where he recorded yet another personal best time. Keely Morris put in good performances in the 16yrs 50m freestyle, 100m freestyle, 100m breaststroke and 200m breaststroke in preparation for the Commonwealth Games trials in Melbourne. All swimmers are to be congratulated on their outstanding performances and well deserved excellent results.
Surf lifesaving, Canadian style
A small but determined group of Brunswick juniors produced excellent results at the country lifesaving titles held at Woolgoolga recently. In rough and testing conditions against over 30 other clubs, most of the Brunswick juniors ďŹ nished in the top ten positions in surf events. Highlights of the carnival were achieved by Luke Condie who won bronze in the U/10 surf swim; Callum Smith who came fourth in the U/12 surf swim; and Ben
Martin, Ben Condie, Nathan Diehm, Grace Hamilton won the silver medal in the U/13 surf teams race against a very competitive ďŹ eld. In the senior board rescue event Ben Condie and Ben Martin, competing against an older age group, put in a huge effort to reach the semiďŹ nals. All competitors deserve congratulations for their tenacity and sportsmanship in attaining their excellent results, which can be read in full in sports results.

"YRON "AY #AMPING $ISPOSALS Resourceful people the Canadians. Just look at how theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting ready for Rescue 2006, The World Lifesaving Championships, at a time when most of their country is enveloped by the deep northern winter. Carla St Germain and her St Laurent team-mates have come up with some novel ways to get around the lack of unfrozen water or sand. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;For paddleboard and surf ski practice, we train at an
Crankin
indoor pool and we tether the boards and skis to the wall and paddle against it. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Since the beaches are now all covered with snow and ice we do our beach sprinting and beach flags training in the snow, running with snowshoes.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Extra incentive is added by replacing the ďŹ&#x201A;ag with a warming cup of coffee. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tough running with all the winter gear on so we should feel fairly lightweight
with a bathing suit and bare feet,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; says Carla. Rescue 06 will be held in February in the new Kardinia Aquatic Centre in Geelong and on the beach at Lorne, where the Canadians will ďŹ nally get the chance to get some of that warm stuff between their toes. Photographed from left to right are Daniel Berube, Susan Kelly, Carla St Germain and Oliver Gomes diving for the coffee/ďŹ&#x201A;ag.

MP takes surfboard trifecta In what has become something of a tradition, local greens MLC Ian Cohen entered the Australia Day surfboard Challenge for the third time, and recorded his best paddle ever with a time of 33min 40 secs. Ian ďŹ nished fourth in the 50 years and over and 43rd overall including the open contestants. Ian was nine seconds behind the third place getter and put the per-
formance down to the board supplied by Rusty Miller, who placed fourth on it last year, and on the meticulous coaching regarding tactics by the old surf legend. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Rusty had me so focused on the race I paddled under the Harbour Bridge and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even notice it,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said Mr Cohen. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I was deďŹ nitely ďŹ rst politician across the ďŹ nishing line!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; he added.

Sports Roundup with Alex McAuley Brilliant 18th birthday present for Happy Stephanie Gilmore
The Roxy Women’s Surf Festival held on Victoria’s Phillip Island last week turned into a showdown between the youngsters of the sport, with Stephanie Gilmore, Chelsea Georgeson and Jessi Miley-Dyer all putting in strong performances in the excellent five-to-six foot waves at Surfers Point. Gilmore, the current and two-time ISA world U/18 amateur champion, smashed her opponents in round four of competition, nearly doubling the scores of her nearest rivals with a combined two wave heat total of 17.67 out of a possible 20. ‘I was having a lot of fun,
there was some good clean right handers coming through which reminded me a bit of home and it’s always good to surf on your forehand,’ said Gilmore. ‘I really want to qualify for the 2007 World Championship Tour, so it’s really important to win or at least make the final this week and I guess it’s inevitable we’re going to draw each other at some stage if we keep surfing the way we are.’ In one of the tighter round four match-ups, Georgeson failed to find her earlier event form but did enough to hold off a spirited challenge from former world number two Serena Brooke.
‘Phew, that was a close one! I just didn’t seem to be able to get any good waves, I was lucky to get through that heat,’ admitted Georgeson who is good friends with Brooke and has faced off against her many times over the years. Nineteen year-old MileyDyer was also relegated to second in her round four heat, finishing behind former world-ranked competitor Amee Donohoe who has returned to the competitive arena following two seasons troubled by a knee injury. ‘I’ve been watching all the girls and the standard’s really lifting,’ said Miley-Dyer. ‘I had trouble finding the right
waves, just trying to get into position but I got a good one right at the end that broke through to the inside so that was enough. If I draw Chelsea it’d be an honour. She’s the world champ and has achieved everything I’m trying to achieve so I’d think of it as a privilege to surf against her.’ The final was an epic encounter between two world champions: Gilmore and Miley-Dyer with Gilmore winning herself the best 18th birthday present she could have asked for with a resounding victory in the clean four to five foot waves. Gilmore easily outpointed Miley-Dyer 17.67 points to 9.00 in the 30 minute final, showing the free-flowing class and maturity that first rocketed her to international surf stardom one year ago when she claimed the Roxy Pro on the Gold Coast as a wildcard. The victory is Gilmore’s first WQS win from just two starts and earns her valuable ratings points in her bid to officially qualify for the 2007 ASP Women’s World Tour. Along with the appearance of reigning world number one Chelsea Georgeson, the performance of Australia’s young stars further showcases the current supremacy of Australian women’s’ surfing. ‘I’m just blown away!’ said Gilmore. ‘After working so hard all week and with so many girls from around the world in the comp, to come out on top is

Surfing FNC rewards life members
just amazing! From the start I wasn’t expecting a win, that’s for sure. I’ve been watching Chelsea and Jessi and all the other girls ripping and was thinking maybe I’d make the quarters, or the semis, then far out … everything just fell into place. It’s just blown me away. I couldn’t ask for a better birthday present that’s for sure!’ 1993 World Champion Pauline Menczer from Ocean Shores was a surprise elimination early after the tour veteran made an uncharacteristic error in the latter stages of her heat with Gilmore and Mayaguchi. Sitting in third with a good scoring ride of 7.83 under her belt, Menczer required only an average wave to lift her into second, but dropped in on the Japanese surfer. The subsequent interference penalty saw Menczer remain in third on just 9.75 points and she was eliminated. Menczer’s performance, however, was enough to overtake Samantha Cornish in the Evian Longest Tube Ride speciality award. Cornish scored a seamless disappearing act midway through one of her early heats to put her in the running for the bonus $500 from Evian, but Menczer managed to position herself inside a much larger wave and emerge triumphantly to hoots from the gallery watching on shore, winning herself a well deserved consolation prize.
Several members of Surfing Far North Coast received their life memberships at the inaugural Surfing FNC presentation and awards night held at the Hotel Great Northern recently. All members were appointed for having completed at least ten years work for surfing, with many hours done voluntarily. The first of those appointed was Geoff Brodin who had the foresight to recognise the need for a branch south of the Queensland border after the Seahorse Boardriders club was admitted to the Australian Surfing Association of Queensland (ASAQ) in 1979. Geoff had directed several ASAQ state titles and was supported by all members after applying to the ASAQ committee to take the border from New Brighton down to Evans Head. The inaugural meeting was held at the Shaws Bay Hotel in 1982 and Geoff was elected president. He was president again in 1984, vice president in 1983, 1985, 1987 and 1988; secretary/treasurer in 1987 and 1988 and was heavily involved in local, regional and state administration. He now lives at Minnie Waters and is still surfing. For more details about Surfing FNC events and results of recent competitions, please see Crankin’ column on previous page.
potential presidents, secretaries, coaches, managers, treasurers, canteen workers etc are invited to attend. Contact Darryl Quigley 684 7151 or Frank McDonald 6685 3416.

Better than hot curry and chips â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a packed Byron Bay Bowling club was treated to Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most easterly Indian Sandy Gandhiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birthday bash on Saturday night. Rusty or was it Rosti SpringďŹ eld alias Rosie Lee with the Love Joys pounded out some great music and Sandy was joined by fellow comedians to send the audience off home with more than their pappadamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth. A special mention to the caterers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; hot stuff and we want to know where we can get those sausages. â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; Internet accommodation booking company Wotif.com has published â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from its domestic and international booking ďŹ gures â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the top ten destinations in NSW. Byron Bay comes in at number ten, behind Wollongong, Port Stephens, Newcastle, Albury, Port Macquarie, Hunter Wine Country, Coffs Harbour, Blue Mountains, and Sydney, in ascending order. The popularity of most of the locations we can understand, but Albury ahead of the Bay? Perhaps an Alburian who reads this on the web might like to enlighten us to the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attractions, and why specifically itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better than Byron Bay. Incidentally, Australians book 7.4% of total accommodation booked on the internet, compared to the Americansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 18.3%. â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; One thing we did on the public holiday was take the CIA personality test â&#x20AC;&#x201C; www. cia.gov/employment/ CIAMyths.html. Our editor came out as an Innovative Pioneer, but he was probably fudging it. The CIA might torture and disappear people on the ground but they have great PR working for them in cyberspace, though what actor Jennifer Garner would really know about intelli-
gence-gathering is a mystery to us. â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; The NSW Ombudsman is reviewing the new police â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;lockdownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; powers which enable them, among other things, to seize your car and your mobile phone. You can submit your comments on this powerful legislation to review@ombo.nsw.gov.au or ďŹ nd out more information on 0438 248 617. â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; Proof of how proďŹ table toll roads can be to the private sector is evidenced by the proposed privatisation of the Indiana Toll Road in the USA. Companies are scrambling to hand over around $US3 billion to gain control of the road which last year produced $US85 million in tolls, according to the Sydney Morning Herald. Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels is planning to use the windfall to upgrade the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s road network, although concerns have been raised that tolls could rise to unacceptable levels if the road falls into private hands. â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; Press release header of the week goes to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Virtual sheep management a realityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; from the NSW Dept of Primary Industries. Apparently the esheep scanner can keep track of the woolly jumpersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; condition when they come to the yard for water and feed. Find out all you need to know (and possibly more) at www.sheepcrc.org.au/esheep. It reminds us of Philip K Dickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s novel Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?, from which the ďŹ lm Blade Runner was created. â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; In the aftermath of Australia Day it is perhaps sobering (if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re into being sober) to remember the words of H L Mencken: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Samuel Johnsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s saying that patriotism is the

last refuge of scoundrels has some truth in it, but not nearly enough. Patriotism, in truth, is the great nursery of scoundrels, and its annual output is probably greater than that of even religion. Its chief glories are the demagogue, the military bully, and
the spreaders of libels and false history. Its philosophy rests ďŹ rmly on the doctrine that the end justifies the means â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that any blow, whether above or below the belt, is fair against dissenters from its wholesale denial of plain facts.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;
