Will letting landslide bury Byron residents? Lesley Patterson

market, ’ added Mr Darney, who is Council’s Director of Planning, Development and Environment Services. Byron Bay is not the only town in New South where a substantial number of properties are holiday let, however, Mr Darney says the town is unique in that we have a lack of alternative land for new residential development. ‘Because of our environmental and servicing constraints it is quite difficult to obtain other residential lands. With between 600700 dwellings lost to conventional ownership because they are holiday let, it is difficult to find houses to replace that housing stock,’ he explained. Some landlords are up in arms about the prohibition of holiday letting in the draft LEP saying it is ‘an unrealistic position to take’. John Gudgeon from the Holiday Letting Organisation (HLO), which represents landlords told The Echo that the group had retained a ‘top level

planner to go through the LEP with a fine tooth comb’. ‘Anyone who has a property has a right to let that either in the short term or long terms. It is a fundamental right of any property owner to let it how they want,’ Mr Gudgeon said. HLO’s position is that holiday letting should be permitted in all residential areas and that noise and nuisance problems can be dealt with via the Holiday Letting Security Hotline. Byron Residents Against Community Erosion (BRACE) don’t agree and talk about instances where a landlord simply resigned from HLO after repeated complaints to the hotline. BRACE is supporting Council’s proposed ban on holiday letting in residential areas, pointing out that landlords are still able to buy properties in the commercial areas of town and in tourism zones which can legally be holiday let. ‘There are a massive number of units being built in the centre of town and landlords should be looking to buy there,’ said Glen Lawrence from BRACE. Muddying the debate over the proposed changes in the LEP is the question of whether residents should be able to rent out their homes at Christmas or Easter when they go on holiday themselves. Council has decided to allow this often lucrative practice by permitting letting for less than eight weeks a year without approval. The woman voted as best companion by the dogs of Mullumbimby, BRACE claim this could create a serious loophole in the Joy Vogel with Bouncer, Possum and 8, at Saturday’s first birthday planning regulations and is celebrations of the Animal Welfare Op Shop in Brunswick Heads. Byron Bay is struggling to cope with a raft of social challenges, but perhaps one of the most significant is the lack of affordable accommodation. Some community groups claim that holiday letting is a major cause of rising rent prices with up to one in five houses in Byron Bay’s residential areas let to holiday makers. ‘The more residential premises that go over to holiday letting, the less are available for workers, renters and owners,’ says Byron Shire Council’s Ray Darney. Council has moved to ban holiday letting in residential areas through its new draft Local Environment Plan (LEP) for the Byron Bay Area, which is currently open for public comment. ‘Some evidence shows that a substantial amount of money has been paid to purchase properties which are holiday let. This forces purchase prices up and makes it an investors’ market rather than a home owners’

Coorabell goes daft about dahlias

Blooming beautiful: grower Steven Wedd among the dahlias. Photo Jeff ‘Precious Petal’ Dawson Lesley Patterson

‘It’s a boy thing,’ says Steven Wedd, explaining why men go mad about dahlias. Steven and his brother Bruce Wedd have been growing these vivacious flowers for around eight years at their farm on Friday Hut Road and picking up most of the dahlia prizes at the Coorabell Flower Show. There is something about dahlias which seems to appeal to the male of the species. On his travels to flower shows at Casino and Brisbane Steven Wedd says that the exhibitors he meets are predominantly male. Could it be that only men have the fierce sense of competitiveness needed to take out the top prize or that male retirees can spare the hours of work required to grow winning blooms? Motorists along Friday Hut Road can’t fail to be impressed by the sight of more than 350 beautiful, blooming dahlias at the Wedd’s family farm. Varieties range from the petite pink pompom called Pam to the stunning bright yellow

Eunice T with her 21cm wide cactus style blooms. Dahlia growing has always been a family affair with the Wedds. Bruce, Steven and sister Caroline started growing dahlias around eight years ago having caught the bug from their Aunt Joyce and Uncle George. Joyce and George have had dahlia fever for years and Steven reckons they could well have been exhibitors at the Coorabell Flower Show from the very beginning, over 40 years ago. According to Steven there is no such thing as a green thumb, success with gardening comes down to devoting enough time and attention. ‘I’d hate to think how much time I spend with the dahlias, it would be scary,’ he admits. Championship plants need a lot of TLC, regular watering, feeding, plenty of manure from the family cows and mulch. Every year after flowering each plant has to be lifted, labelled and stored in the old pig sheds, explains Steven, then replanted again in time for the next season. The delight at seeing a new

variety bloom and what he calls ‘the wow factor’ of some of the largest and brightest dahlias keeps Steven hooked. Rookie growers need not commit to such a regime and Steven’s advice is to use the same set up as tomatoes. Stake them strongly and choose the less demanding garden varieties over exhibition types. Although if you have a competitive streak then maybe ordering a few exhibition dahlias from a mail order specialist might see the start of something big. The Annual Coorabell Flower Show is on again this Saturday from 5pm at the Coorabell Hall. During the last few years the crowds have really started to build in numbers, attracted not just by the dahlias but by something which is becoming increasing rare, a slice of traditional country life. ‘People from the city come and say this is why they’ve come to the country,’ Steven says. Visitors will be guaranteed a stunning display of continued on page 2

Open days to explain the document which will dictate future development in Byron Bay and Suffolk Park are being held this week. ‘The draft Local Environment Plan for the Byron Bay area is on public exhibition until March 17 and Council is looking for feedback from the community,’ said Council’s director of Planning, Development and Environment Services, Ray Darney. Public information days will be held this Thursday and Friday from 12.30pm to 6.30pm and Saturday from 12.30 to 4.30pm at Council’s training rooms in Bayshore Drive on the Arts and Industry Estate. Council’s planners will have a computer mapping system that can zoom in to any part of the Byron Bay area and display proposed changes to zones, wildlife corridors, interim heritage conservation areas, and areas designated for holiday cabins. ‘The draft LEP is the single most important document for the defining the future of the Byron Bay, Suffolk Park and Ewingsdale area. It is the basis for ensuring the future we want as a community,’ says Mayor Jan Barham. ‘ I urge all residents to be aware of the importance of this plan and to have input, to avoid the uncertainty and inappropriate development of the past and set a vision. If people agree with the direction of the plan, it is important to make submissions that support the plan or aspects of it, it is not enough just to think that it is a good outcome and not comment.’ The Draft LEP is also on display in the foyer of Council’s ofďŹ ces in Mullumbimby until March 17. Issues raised in public submissions will then be reported to Council.

lobbying for the prohibition of all holiday letting in residential areas. ‘Council does not have the staff or the money to monitor the short term letting or to take action against offending landlords who let for longer periods per year,’ says BRACE. ‘Permanent tenants will be at risk of being ousted in peak holiday periods to allow the owner higher returns from short term holiday letting.’ Mayor Jan Barham is urging residents to support the changes to holiday letting and says that the unregulated practice has ’eroded our sense of community’. She argues that Byron’s appeal as a tourism destination is dependent on that sense of community. ‘It is the community that has created or protected much of the appeal of the place. If we lose the essential

ingredient of a resilient community, we may well lose the potential for a sustainable tourism industry,’ Cr Barham said. ‘Tourism development requires approval to ensure that ll public safety issues are met and that the appropriate fees are paid to council to manage the area,’ she added. ‘Because they’re [holiday lets] not approved they don’t pay development fees. Approved tourism accommodation such as bed and breakfasts pay development fees to pay for funding of infrastructure such as roads, parking and landscaping.’ By creating an approval process for holiday lets in commercial, serviced apartment and tourism zones, Council will be able to levy development fees and commercial rates on operators. Both BRACE and HLO are cranking up their petition writing hoping to engage

residents on both sides of this crucially important debate. Whether you believe in a person’s right to make money whatever the consequences or support reclaiming residential areas for the community good, the outcome of this issue could fundamentally affect the future character of Byron Bay.

David gives up the scissors after 31 years Alex McAuley David Kolb emigrated to Australia in 1971 from California on an assisted passage with the intention of taking an extended working holiday. Within 24 hours of his arrival he was in Brunswick Heads. Thirty ďŹ ve years later, he’s still in Brunswick Heads and he loves it. Most of us know Dave as the man behind ‘David’s’ the hairdressing salon in The Terrace, where for thirty one years he has cut, permed, coloured and teased the hair of generations of locals. His recent decision to retire from hairdressing has left many of his clients at in a state of near hysteria; let’s face it, a woman’s relationship with her hairdresser is nothing short of sacred. Having survived his high school education during the 1960s at one of the USA’s ten most dangerous high schools, Los Angeles’ Chino High, Dave’s arrival in Brunswick Heads was not entirely coincidental: his mother and her husband were in the process of building one of the ďŹ rst ďŹ ve houses in Ocean Shores. He spent his ďŹ rst two years in Australia working on a prawn trawler, and has fond memories of the bustling little fishing village that was Brunswick Heads in the 1970s. ‘There was a fleet of about 24 trawlers that used to operate out of Brunswick Heads in those days,’ said Dave. ‘Every boat went out for an average of four nights a week; now there are probably only two or three boats, none of which would go out anything like that often.’ After a short holiday, he

decided he needed a change, so he started working at Pearce’s Garage, which is now the longest owner operated business in Brunswick Heads. (Incidentally, his hairdressing salon went on to become the third longest running business after Pearce’s and Garrards Butchery.) It wasn’t long, however, before he decided to put his training as a hairdresser to use and decided to open a salon. So he rented a shop, put in a plastic chair, bought some scissors and got started. The rest, as they say, is history. Over the years, Dave has been heavily involved in the Brunswick Heads community, from the Progress Association to the Surf Lifesaving Club, but his main passion outside hairdressing has always been

Local News Fatal crash at Byron Bay A fatal car accident in Byron Bay on Friday night has claimed the life of a Goonellabah woman and a Byron Bay woman is in Lismore Base Hospital in a serious condition. During rush hour on Friday night a 55-yearold woman was driving into Byron Bay along Ewingsdale Road in her BMW when she hit a Mercedes head-on near Banksia Drive. The Mercedes driver was also travelling along Ewingsdale Road, towards the highway, and was hit when the BMW veered onto the wrong side of the road. Pa s s i n g motorists described the scene as ‘horrific’ with the obvious damage to both cars indic-

ative of a serious accident. Many motorists stopped to help, covering up the drivers with blankets and towels and calling the emergency services. Byron Bay Police Inspector Owen King said it took around one hour to cut the drivers free from the wreckage. The Rescue Helicopter landed close to the scene of the accident, which occurred around 5.40pm, and transported the BMW driver to the Gold Coast Hospital where she died later that evening. The 32-year-old Byron Bay woman was taken to Byron Bay Hospital and later airlifted to Lismore Base Hospital where she is said to be in a serious but stable condition.

Fr Mills’s 50 years in priesthood One of the Shire’s original locals, Father Bill Mills, celebrated his golden jubilee at St John’s Church, in Mullumbimby last Sunday. William Bede Mills was born September,1929, the eighth child of William and Elizabeth Mills, and was named after his father. At the time of his birth, his parents ran cattle at a dairy farm in upper Burringbar. By 1938, the Mills family had a total of of nine boys and four girls, and had settled in Mullumbimby, where they continued to run a dairy in Upper Main Arm. While Bill was a young lad at primary school in Main Arm, the parish priest Fr Tom O’Byrne suggested that he go to the seminary. This he did and the little boy from the farm headed off to college. Fr Bill Mills also spent time overseas studying and travelling – a year in

the Philippines at Ateneao University and a year at Providence, Rhode Island. He also spent time at Cambridge and Boston to

study spiritual direction, as well as time in India and England. In 1981 he appeared in a feature film produced

by BBC TV about author Thomas Kenneally. As a testament to his love of the area and its people, he has remained here and continues to serve the community.

Top UK TV producer gives local seminar North coast industry group Screenworks in conjunction with Film Australia is presenting a seminar with UK award winning television producer Robert Thirkell.

The seminar will be held on Wednesday March 1, 10am12.30pm at the Bangalow A&I Hall. Robert Thirkell, named Britain’s No 1 television producer in the magazine Broadcast, spent 15 years as executive producer for BBC business programs creating original and popular series including BAFTA winners, ‘Back To The Floor’ an ‘Blood on the Carpet’. Since 2003, Robert has specialised in formatting series at their inception for broadcasters and production companies, guaranteeing their quality and helping series get on air – as troubleshooter, consultant, and series editor. In his seminar, Robert will go through the seven steps of his landmark CONFLICTmodel which is about the importance of storytelling in documentary, and of traditional dramatic structure which follows transformation of character through time and conflict. The model gives seven useful tips on how best to do this based on Jamie’s School Dinners. ‘An absolute must for all documentary and factual program makers in the region, Robert Thirkell is a great source of information and ideas for anyone trying to sell this type of project to broadcasters,’ says Lyn McCarthy, Chair, Screenworks Board.

Gatya hopes Mungo is hung Having spent the last 20 years making a living as a graphic artist, in the last 18 months Gatya Kelly has turned her attention to her true artistic passion: portraiture. Faced with fairly limited exhibiting opportunities, Gatya decided to enter a portrait in the Archibald Prize, and chose as her subject Mungo McCallum. Why Mungo? ‘He’s a national ďŹ gure who has a very recognisable face,’ explained Gatya. ‘He’s a local with an interesting character and a very Australian, craggy look. He just really ďŹ ts the bill for the prize.’ Gatya chose to paint Mungo with one of his dogs as his passion for his pets is such a huge part of his life. ‘He really is at his most animated when he’s with his dogs,’ said Gatya. ‘The art of portraiture is to ďŹ nd the essential character of a person and then reproduce it on canvas. I felt that Mungo’s character was drawn out by his dogs. Plus he told me that he once won a competition to ďŹ nd an owner who looked most like his pet!’ The portrait is large – about one metre square –

Local News Bureaucrats play pass the (smelly) A vibrant Saturday at the Factory chook on Sunnybrand issue A solution to the smelly problem of the Sunnybrand Chicken plant at Byron Bay appears to be no nearer, despite continuing complaints to the Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC) by affected residents.

DEC had imposed a December 31 deadline on the chicken producers to upgrade their waste water system which was thought to be the main odour culprit. That deadline has passed, however Council is still awaiting full details from

Sunnybrand on the design of the new waste water plant. DEC now claim that the smell is coming from the sheds which house the chickens and these are Council’s responsibility not DEC’s. ‘The continuing complaints [about foul smells] are largely conďŹ ned to the chicken sheds on the site, not the abattoir,’ said Mr Purves. ‘We believe that the smells are linked to the cycle of the chickens’ growth and as such the odour increases at particular times. However, Council regulates the sheds, not the DEC, so we can only act in an advisory role.’ This was news to Council. Ray Darney, Council’s Planning, Development and Environment Services Director, says the ďŹ rst he knew that DEC had shifted the responsibility was when The Echo called for a comment. Mr Darney says Council is waiting for clariďŹ cation from DEC, but says his department will ‘serve whatever notices are necessary if there are nuisances occurring on the site which Council has jurisdiction over’. Council has not been able to make a determination on Sunnybrand’s application for a new wastewater plant as ‘the information originally presented wasn’t in a form that we could approve it’. Mr Darney says Council has given the company a deadline of this month to supply the required information. Under normal processes if an application is incomplete then it is refused. Attempts to obtain a comment from Sunnybrand Chickens were unsuccessful.

Next meeting will be held on Friday February 24 at 2pm in the hospital meeting room. New members very welcome.

Local News

Condon Hill plan draws flak Alex McAuley The subject of the proposed development at Condon Hill has reared its head once again and continues to divide the Lennox Head community. The application was to go before Ballina Shire Council at its February meeting, however Council staff have recommended that the issue be dealt with at a single purpose meeting in March. Rod Willis, manager of Council’s Regulatory Services Group, explained that this is due to the size of the development and complexity of the reports relating to the application. ‘The documentation attached to this proposal is extensive and reports will be lengthy,’ said Mr Willis. ‘Public submissions are numerous and in order to give the matter due consideration it is our recommendation that it be dealt with separately.’ A recent submission to Council by geotechnical consultant for the developer, Douglas Partners, has upset some Lennox Head residents who feel they have been blindsided by Council. One such resident, Marelle Lee, is particularly concerned that the report has been kept out of the public domain. ‘I don’t understand why this report hasn’t been put on public display,’ said Ms Lee. ‘I had to ring Council when I heard about it and ask permission to see it. It shows areas of existing landslips, past instability, high risk of slope instability, zone of potential landslip runout and seepage. Accompanying text warns of hazards in testing the Condon Hill site, eg making test pits on extremely low strength rock.’ Mr Willis was quick to point out that while a late submission such as this one is unusual in the development application process, it is not unprecedented.

‘The original application was made 14 months ago,’ said Mr Willis. ‘Since that time, the applicant has submitted a number of additional reports and the proposal has been amended several times. At the most recent public exhibition, Council advised that the applicant was likely to lodge additional geotechnical information. ‘It is the normal course of events that Council will ask applicants for more information as needed. This particular application has taken longer than usual as the information has come in fits and starts,’ he added. Mr Willis said that Council is aware of the sensitivity of the site and the complex geotechnical issues associated with it. As Council has insufficient expertise and resources in this area, an independent consulting firm, Shaw:Urquhart, was brought in to liaise with Douglas Partners. ‘Council has always had the position that the geotechnical matters associated with this development need to be dealt with comprehensively,’ said Mr Willis. ‘In fact, Council took out advertisements in two newspapers back in November and December of last year which stated that there may well be the need for a geotechnical management plan in the future.’ In the meantime, Margaret Condon is satisfied that

the application not only meets Council requirements, but has also been modified in response to public comment, describing the two year process as ‘an exercise in balance’. With over 1,000 expressions of support for the development from within Ballina Shire and beyond, Ms Condon is confident that she is providing a much needed amenity to Lennox Head. ‘We have considered comments from both council planners, public submissions and the team of expert consultants advising council and our project managers to ensure that each stage of the development application process delivers a balanced outcome,’ said Ms Condon. ‘I would never do anything detrimental to the hill that bears my family name. ‘We have amended the look and scale of the project by reducing the number of units from 148 to 121. All the buildings on the site comply with the established height restriction for this area. This is not open to opinion; it is measurable and factual.’ Anyone who would like to view the latest geotechnical management plan may do so at Ballina Shire Council offices, corner of Cherry and Tamar Streets Ballina. Phoning in advance is a good idea, on 6686 4444.

The abortion debate is not yet dead Vol 20 #39

February 21, 2006

Plan your own future While pressure to further develop Byron Bay – onwards and upwards – is intense, the town has come out a lot better than many areas along the coastline, thanks to our council – lobbied vociferously by passionate residents – being prepared to put limits on height, density and environmental degradation. Now is a crucial time for concerned residents to make submissions on Council’s draft local environmental plan (LEP). You can be sure that special interest groups – those for a town bypass, those for and against restrictions on holiday letting, for example – will be lobbying as hard as they can. The 167 page document is on exhibition until March 17, unless the chamber of commerce gets an extension to the deadline, and is downloadable in PDF format from www.byron.nsw.gov.au/lep_ draft.shtml and is on display in Council’s Mullumbimby ofďŹ ce. Council is also staging three open days – this Thursday and Friday from 12.30pm to 6.30pm and Saturday from 12.30 to 4.30pm at Council’s training rooms in Bayshore Drive on the Arts and Industry Estate. It is amazing that this is the ďŹ rst major overhaul of Council’s planning instrument since the LEP of 1988, the provisions of which have been thoroughly tested and abused in the courts. Council has been notoriously slow to come to grips with the overlapping pressures of tourism and the Seachange growth phenomenon. The plan is easy to read, so don’t be daunted by its size. Its strategic objectives follow the people’s mandate given at the last election and the policy positions of many of its candidates, green or otherwise – low residential housing density, limited land release for new subdivisions, maintain and restore ecosystem functions, control and limit tourism developments, and so on. Some of the character statements for the Byron Bay area might be wishful thinking, given the existing impacts on quality of life and the generally miserable standard of local architecture, to name a couple. And you only have to look at a few existing buildings on ridgelines to realise that blending with the colours of the natural landscape and minimising night lighting might be beyond some home owner’s imaginations. Yet the goals have to be set and reinforced in legislation if you believe that, in a natural environment which is truly magniďŹ cent, less is more. Of course all this hangs in the balance in the shifting and tenuous reality which is planning at state government level. Planning minister Frank Sartor – or perhaps whoever is his successor at the next state election – will have the ďŹ nal say on the plan’s gazetting. Big business interests have shown they are able to get the ear of government ministers on behalf of their desires and it will be up to Shire residents to ensure the planning minister’s ear is not ďŹ lled with rubbish about ‘growth’ and ‘jobs’ at the expense of our social amenity and fragile environment.

T

he passing of the bill putting the control of the drug RU 486 back where it belongs – in the hands of scientists rather than politicians – is a win for rationality and commonsense, especially as the only reason it ever left those hands was a thoroughly corrupt one. Back in the days when the senate was still controlled by independents, the Roman Catholic zealot Brian Harradine named the suppression of the abortifacient as the price of his support for the gover nment, and John Howard grovellingly acquiesced. Now that Harradine is gone and Howard has the numbers in the senate, you might think there would be no problem in fixing the anomaly; but rather than simply repealing the egregious law, Howard decided it should go to a free vote of the parliament. And the numbers in the House of Representatives show why. Although no division was called on the ďŹ nal vote – it was overwhelmingly passed on the voices – the votes on previous amendments show that parliament was still very much split along party lines. The final breakdown was nearly two to one in favour of the bill to repeal the Harradine act, but this was so only because of the near unanimous support of the Labor party: only ďŹ ve members – all men – voted against it. Within the coalition, however, the result went the other way: there was a small majority against. Even among the coalition women, who were meant to be the driving force for change, eight of the seventeen voted with the Minister for Health and Papal

Authority, Tony Abbott. This means, of course, that without the free vote the bill would not have passed. The Labour caucus would have voted for it, but in the coalition party room the vote would have been narrowly against it. Thus it would have become a normal party lines (or unconscience) vote and the bill would have been killed in the House of Reps – indeed, even given the more rebellious nature of the senate, it may not have even got through the Upper House in the ďŹ rst place.

she had had an abortion. This experience led him to oppose the bill, presumably on the grounds that girls who had abortions should continue to do it tough; no room for the kind of choice which might make it less traumatic. Peter Costello told the Reps that his wife had once been treated for a brain tumour while pregnant, and he had been told that the treatment might endanger the foetus. Of course, the treatment continued, and as it happened the baby was

Abbott is already working up a plan to unleash the Godbotherers on any woman who seeks to exercise her right of choice. by Mungo MacCallum Howard may have believed this would happen even with a free vote; he spoke with low-key passion in favour of parliamentary control, but for once not all of his normally servile followers were willing to follow him into action. He may also have underestimated the consensus within the ALP, at least some of which was due as much to a burning desire to see Howard on the losing side for once as to an upholding of principle. In the end, of course, he lost by a considerable margin, but he held the numbers on his own side – just. Admittedly, even some of his own ministers appeared confused. In the senate the grey eminence Nick Minchin astonished everyone by announcing that (a) he had had a girl friend and that (b)

bor n intact. Costello described this as an agonising choice – what, was he really proposing to stop the treatment and kill his wife in the hope of saving the baby? I doubt if even Abbott would have recommended that option. And in any case, what has it to do with RU 486? But then, our Treasurer has never been very good at logic. Last week did not settle the abortion debate, of course; probably nothing ever will. Abbott is already working up a plan to unleash the Godbotherers (whom he has relabelled counsellors) on any woman who seeks to exercise her right of choice. But at least it won’t bob up in parliament again for awhile. With the numbers as they are, Howard will see to that.

T

here is little doubt that the parliamentary career of the hapless former opposition leader, Simon Crean, has passed its use by date. But although he will ultimately be seen as a failure, it will be as a much more distinguished failure than many of those now calling for his head in the name of what they describe as ‘regeneration’. This apparently consists of no more than swapping one ageing pack of Victorian factional hacks for another, slightly younger pack of Victorian factional hacks. The faceless apparatchik seeking Crean’s safe seat is one Martin Pakula, whose sole qualification for high ofďŹ ce appears to be that he is assistant state secretary of the Rodwallopers Union, or something similar. Crean, a former ACTU President, federal minister and party leader, has a rather more impressive record. Until someone better comes along he deserves to retain it, and his leader Kim Beazley, who may well be in the same position before all that long, should have the grace to show him more respect.

T

he slobber surrounding the obsequies of Kerry Packer has been truly chunderous – even that patron saint of the left, Phillip Adams, joined in with a posthumous grovel in the Weekend Australian. But among the opera house extravaganza, the television specials, the newspaper lift-outs and the ags at half mast, one media organ kept a sense of proportion. The front page of Melbourne’s Trades Hall Weekly read simply: ‘Capitalist Kerry Carks It.’ That just about sums it up.

Behold, the one true God!

Floods and myths

What a sad indictment upon religious belief systems that a simple cartoon can incite so much anger and violence among its followers. With so many diverse religious orders in the world, all of which have no evidence to substantiate true credibility, I feel obliged to add mine to the pot. And as ludicrous as my belief system may seem to others, it has just as much right to stand with all the others, Western, Eastern or otherwise, and possibly more so due to its lack of hypocrisy, rigid decrees and commitment to peace and harmony. I believe that there is only one God. His name is ‘PoohBah the MagniďŹ cent Who Farts a Lot’. The Big Bang theory is the scientific explanation for Pooh-Bah’s ďŹ rst fart, which brought our galaxy into existence. The incredible volume of gases throughout the universe is testimony to Pooh-

Bah’s infinite flatulence which continues the neverending process of Creation. Poo-Bah is essentially a being made up of pure energy but can transform into the image of anything He chooses. His human image is that of a bloated, bald headed, pointy eared cheerful fellow who wishes only that his most brilliant expulsion, that is, human beings, enjoy their short lives in peace and harmony, taste the fruits of whatever pleasures they can imagine, and judge not those whose pleasures or beliefs are different to their own. I believe that Pooh-Bah created a Heaven for all, be they murderers, pedophiles, rapists, compulsive liars or politicians. Pooh-Bah forgives all sins, for He is wise enough to realise that He bears ultimate responsibility for His own Creation, just as Doctor Frankenstein bore total responsibility for his

corrupted monster. PoohBah’s Heaven is a place where humans can drink all the beer they wish and fart as much as their hearts desire. They can smoke cigarettes, listen to way-out music and walk around naked and do other naughty things if they so choose. Pooh-Bah the MagniďŹ cent is the perfect God. Any rational mind knows that anger, punishment, genocide, and threats of hellďŹ re and damnation do not fit within the deďŹ nitions of perfection. Unconditional forgiveness and the promise of inďŹ nite and ecstatic after-life are the only feasible rewards from a perfect, non-judgemental being. ‘All hail Pooh-Bah The Magnificent Who Farts a Lot. The logical, one and only true God. Long May He atulate. Hallelujah and Amen.’

capital punishment due to personal spiritual beliefs. My opinions aside – I have one question for John Howard, the Australian federal police, and any persons in agreeance with the AFP’s decision to instigate the arrests of the Bali-nine, in Bali. Just to bring the problem closer to home, I ask you: Would you have done things any differently, if your son or daughter was amongst those involved?

limited resources. Most recently I saw it used in connection with a scheme whereby ‘triage nurses’ would be used to make up the shortfall in the supply of qualified doctors in our failed health system. Experienced unemployed nurses could diagnose and advise distressed callers online and take the pressure off. Of course this won’t be necessary now. The PM and the premiers have ďŹ xed the problems at their recent back-slapping meeting with an injection of funds. This will be assisted by their version of triage in the mental health arena. Everybody now knows that our youth are going mad because they are smoking that hydro

(seven times stronger!). All we have to do is to put all the Mr Bigs and pushers in the slammer for 20 years and all will be well. We could at the same time train lots of new stonemasons in the ensuing growth industry (perhaps

Will ocean outlets save us from oods in the north of the Shire? Two letter-writers last week think so. The perpetuators of this myth, the Manglesons, repeat this line on regular occasions year-in-year-out. Of course many residents ďŹ nd this theory very appealing because it gives such high hopes. Jim Mangleson trots out his maps which actually show where the ocean has previously broken through the dunes, but his line is that these sites are where the ood waters have escaped to the ocean. I’m sure Jim does not understand why the ood experts do not follow his advice. Sure, a reasonable amount of scepticism of experts is healthy. But at what point does this scepticism become wretched denial? And are the hopes of many resting on his state of denial? The oodplain committee has ensured that Jim’s views have been examined by the experts. Their conclusion? ‘Construction of ocean outlets is considered to be relatively ineffectual, due to the small number of houses protected (eight houses), and impracticable due to the management and operational requirements’. The consultants say that

Abbott’s humbug The RU 486 bill was passed and Tony Abbott wants more counselling for women contemplating terminations of pregnancies. Women should now ask ‘What’s in it for us?’ If a woman does the right thing (according to Tony) she has the child then gets forced back into the workforce when the child is in primary school, she can’t afford childcare, or education fees, etc. She has to be a mother, a homemaker, a worker, a taxpayer, all at once. Where does this government get off thinking that there is no work attached to the mothering of children? It is the most labour intensive job of any occupation. It seems this government is only interested in the welfare of offspring while they are still in the womb, after that they, and the mothers are on their own. That is until the child is 18 years old, old enough to join the forces and be sent overseas to risk being killed. Don’t believe in killing, Mr Abbott? Well what the f**k are our young servicemen and women doing in Iraq? Peggy Balfour

the outlet would have to be about four to eight km from the Brunswick River mouth and managed by heavy machinery during the ood event to ensure that ocean waters did not enter and raise flood levels. This machinery would have to be virtually on permanent standby because of the short time that it can take for a ood to occur. If these experts are wrong, then so are the numerous experts within government departments which have reviewed the ood studies. And so are the other consultants and Council staff that have subsequently reviewed the studies. Jim has had a number of opportunities to convince the experts – to no avail. Perhaps Jim can publicly explain to his followers how Council can find consultants that would agree with his view, and how we can get government departments to agree also. As Jim would know, only with such agreement can we get funding from the state government to pay for the engineering works Jim proposes. Instead of relying on Jim’s word, I suggest residents read the consultants’ report on ood outlets.

Erosion lines I was intrigued by last week’s page 1 photo showing the immediate and 100 year prediction of erosion lines relating to Belongil Beach. As this information is available I feel it would be politic for the Council to publish these revelations of the entire Byron Shire coastline, not just Belongil Beach. I am aware of ‘buyer beware’ however, I feel that property buyers, ratepayers and non-swimmers should be made aware of what to be made aware of. Perhaps down the track it might help negate some of those nasty little court cases we have been experiencing. Actually it’s called protecting the thing you sit on. K J Hansen

Spend please Recently there have been a number of letters concerning the north of the Shire, prompting me to raise awareness about another issue – traffic safety and local amen-

ity in the village of New Brighton. For the past 15 years the New Brighton community has been calling for traffic calming measures. We have campaigned, signed petitions, written letters, attended meetings and addressed Council and its Committees. We have gone through the necessary political and bureaucratic processes in order to obtain traffic safety in our area. Finally the experts agreed. Council resolutions were passed and plans approved for a Local Area Traffic Management Scheme for New Brighton – six speed humps and two 2-lane angled slow points. That was in the year 2000, ie. six years ago. During this time traffic has increased with new developments to the north, effectively turning our peaceful village into a road corridor. Speedsters persist with a corresponding decrease in safety and amenity for residents and beach goers generally. The village also boasts an incomplete bike path in a narrow stretch of River Road, where bikes and prams have no choice but to move on to the road itself. This is extremely dangerous in an area with many cyclists and young families going to the local shop, river and beach. It is an accident waiting to happen and it will be Council’s responsibility when it does. The locals are getting used to the outrage of drivers forced to slow down (and sometimes completely stop), but please remember we have nowhere else to go. We recognise that there are many competing interests for Council’s limited

budget, however New Brighton is an important social and community asset to the Shire. We have been waiting long enough and now want this matter placed at the top of the list in the 2006-07 budget. We urge Council to fund this project, protect our village amenity and ensure the safety of the whole community. Kaylene Chamberlain

Hamas has not abjured violence ■ Subhi Awad writes (February 14), ‘Israel must simply withdraw its army from Palestine’ for peace to have a real chance. How that is going to work now is unsure, given that Hamas has control over the Palestinian Authority. The charter of Hamas still calls for the violent destruction of Israel. The Hamas government refuses to recognise Israel. The charter also includes quotes from the ‘Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion’, the notorious antisemitic conspiracy forgery. One member of the new Hamas government proudly stated how three of her sons were suicide bombers and that she has two more sons to follow in their steps. In areas where Hamas won municipal elections last year, they’re already beginning to introduce Sharia law. Israel accepts the creation of a Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza, but Israel cannot afford to have

a state next to it that aims and works toward the destruction of Israel. Israel has made tremendous moves towards peace and the creation of a Palestinian state, with the Israeli withdrawal from Gaza. However, since then, the Palestinian Arabs in Gaza have intensified their attacks of Kassam rockets into Israel, even hitting the major city of Ashkelon. Hamas does not want a Palestinian state next to Israel. Hamas wants a Palestinian state instead of Israel, with Israel, the West Bank and Gaza, a state that is to have no Jews in it. For peace, where to from here? Julie Nathan

Haifa, Israel ■ It’s not every day that I find myself agreeing with Bob Ellis, so to mark this rare event I feel I should publicly applaud his defence of freedom of speech in last week’s Echo. He, the self-proclaimed

descendant of a Jewish grandmother, he the friend and lauder of eminent Jewish scientists, writers and intellectuals, he of course one of the foremost practitioners and benefactors of press freedom in Australia, even as it is practised during the hated John Howard’s prime ministership. (Discuss.) Were it not so how else would he be able to so often proclaim in his comments that the Israelis poisoned the late (and unlamented by both Israelis and Palestinians) Yasser Arafat without the slightest skerrick of proof. How else could he subtly and slyly insert his anti-semitic poison into his writing, as he managed last week when commenting on Condoleeza Rice, ‘Can she order the Israelis to lay down their arms and hereafter abjure violence?’. (Discuss the absence of Hamas violence.) Klaus Schwarz

Follow the corruption trail ■ Kim Beazley declared in the parliament, ‘There is no smoking gun’ in the AWB affair, but will he miss the obvious? The affair itself IS the smoking gun. Within a week of his comments, we hear from CSIRO scientists that the Howard government has been suppressing the truth on climate change. Is it another scandal? Yes, it’s more evidence of corruption, but most importantly it is another smoking gun, another pointer to the same scandal, that is, the form of corruption perpetrated and spread by the Howard regime. Howard’s Way with corruption, you may recall, is to place an insulating layer between himself and any facts his picked staff know he does not want to know. Over time, Howard’s Way has extended to protect the cabinet and now all of his ministers from collisions with facts that might challenge his political line. Over time, this personal corruption has influenced political appointments and punishments as it has sought to guarantee a public service and even a defence establishment whose senior members’ ambitions exceed their qualms about serving corrupt political goals at the expense of the public good. How far is he willing to go with this? He is willing to tolerate the cutting off of intelligence to Australian troops in battle. As unbelievable as this seems, it is public record that it happened. He is willing to condone the supply of money directly to Saddam Hussein’s weapons program. Is it any wonder then that abusing asylum

seekers, lying to the Australian public about children being thrown overboard, or anything else that serves his ends, is perfectly acceptable by his corrupt standards? ‘So what?’ some say, and that they do so is a tragedy itself, but the question must be answered. So what? So Australian citizens get deported. So hundreds of asylum seekers get abused. Don’t care Australia? How about ‘So ministerial supervision ends along with ministerial responsibility’ and people die. They die in the water, Siev X. They die in Iraq, at the hands of a dictator financed by Australia, now known to be among the most corrupt countries in the world. They die in East Timor because Howard gives bad advice to the yanks because his department gives bad advice to him because they tell him what he wants to hear. Now if they bullshit about that stuff, how do you think they feed him on the less controversial subjects? We have a leaderless government, because the leader of the country has surrounded himself with yes men. I guarantee they never told him the truth about climate change. They wouldn’t tell him the truth about anything they knew he didn’t want to hear. This is corruption, Howard’s Way. Next week, if you’ll let me, I’ll explain his kick back. Matt Hartley

Byron Bay ■ Thanks to Matt Hartley (14 February) for drawing attention to the corruption of our government. At a time when the US is

trying to flog democracy to the world, the example shown by the governments of the US, UK and Australia are a particularly bad advert for what we’re supposedly trying to export. In fact, to refer to any of the three systems as democratic is no more than a joke in very bad taste. Here, and there, what is needed is an immediate commitment to electoral reform in order to actually deliver democracy – and end our leaders’ hypocrisy. Proportional Representation (PR) would give the elites that run the world (Big Business, Massive Media) less room to corruptly move. For those not in the know, PR means that each party is represented in the House by members in the same proportion as the vote those parties receive. Based on the primary votes cast at the 2004 federal election (www.aec.gov.au), this would have given the Coalition only 46.36% of seats in the House of Representatives – probably only enough to form a government with a miniscule majority even with the support of their One Nation friends (assuming the Greens and Democrats teamed up with the ALP). All of which would have been moot because the ALP/ Greens/Democrats would have been able to form a coalition government of their own with a clear majority following the 2001 federal election had it been run under PR. Democracy anyone? Don’t make me laugh. Thom Evans

one person described the debate as irrelevant, with no response. Not only are they not being questioned, zero tolerance is once more raising its vote-grabbing head. If you ask the Attorney General’s ofďŹ ce, they will tell you that the speciďŹ c aim of these laws is to reduce the harm to society from drugs. If that’s the case, they have been a spectacular failure. The illicit drugs industry is now the second largest industry in the world, according to KoďŹ Annan, and less than 2% of trafďŹ cked drugs are ever seized. (Report of the Victorian Premier’s Drug Advisory Council 1996). Whatever busts occur, the supply of drugs is never interrupted. However apparently large, no bust can ever be more than a percentage of that 2% seized. It’s clear that these laws are enabling huge amounts

of income for the really major operators, the cartels and the seriously unscrupulous. Indeed 98%, tax free, of the second largest industry on the planet. The conclusion is inescapable; a sizeable proportion of that huge amount of money must be ďŹ nding its way to the wealthiest people on the planet. Support for these laws is support for these people, none of whom are represented in our prisons. Only users and small-time dealers, often facing lengthy prison terms and even death, are cynically and fraudulently produced as evidence that the laws are working. Our youth are sacriďŹ ced to their proďŹ ts. The usual response to criticism of these laws is, ‘We don’t want our society overrun with drugs and the harm they cause.’ Well take a look, it already has been overrun and the drug laws

are facilitating that trade. Maybe it’s time to rethink our attitude to these laws, or maybe you’d rather support the major dealers, the cartels and the seriously unscrupulous? Those are the only choices. The prohibitionists and the administrators of these laws can no longer claim the moral high ground. Surprise, surprise, the people behind the armaments industry (No 1 in the world) and the oil and media interests (way up there), who have taken us into our current, Mad Max war for diminishing resources, are profoundly prohibitionist. What is their vested interest? Robin Harrison

School thanks My name is Kiya. I am the Student Representative Council (SRC) President of

Upper Coopers Creek Public School. I am writing to thank the community for helping us to raise enough money to sponsor a Tanzanian student at Gemma Sisia’s school of St Jude. We felt it was important to make a difference by supporting a child to have access to an education. We held two market stalls in Mullumbimby throughout last year. Everyone has been very generous and we have raised a total of $616. To sponsor a student it costs $550. We have greatly appreciated your support in helping us to raise enough money and more. We have just been informed by St Judes that we will be sponsoring a 12 year old girl called Violet Loth. It is Violet’s ďŹ rst year of schooling. We are going to use the money that is left over to send Violet a backpack full of school supplies. Thank you once again for your support

and we hope that you will continue to support us as we need to raise funds for her continuing education. Kiya

Farmers, note There are several dairy farms in the district so why is it impossible to buy locally produced organic butter, milk, yoghurt and cheese? Our health food stores supply Australian organic butter but Woolworth’s organic butter has to be imported from Denmark! How absurd. Australian farmers are slow to recognise the importance of the organic market. The organic wholesale and retail sectors are growing at between 30-50% pa whereas local production is growing at only 15-20%. The rest is made up of imports. We are one of the world’s

leading grain exporters but we are importing organic grains to meet the shortfall in production. Only a handful of local macadamia farmers grow organically and receive a premium for their product. Others use the highly dangerous endosulfan which is now being considered for a global ban under the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants. Local growers also use highly toxic organophosphates which have recently been linked to motor-neurone disease. Some farmers still use 2-4D and fungicides which are implicated in Parkinson’s disease. It really is time for our local farmers to go organic and start supplying both the local market and other nearby markets. It’s absurd to have to continued overleaf

import organic food from overseas when it can be grown here. It would also be healthier for families living on and near the farms, who would no longer be subject to these life-threatening poisons, and offer farmers a more sustainable long-term livelihood.

but how older, authoritative people react to it. Mr Debnam’s attitude that people involved in the violence at Cronulla are ‘violent thugs’ is not in the interests of healing, but in marginalising. Sadly, his attitude is part of the violence he wants extinguished. Geoff Dawe

Part of the problem Deterrence, a primary reason for the sentencing of people to gaol, is flawed. An 18-year-old teenager who bashed a man at Cronulla with a beer bottle, walked free from prison after 29 days. State Opposition leader Peter Debnam’s assessment of the sentence was that it was ‘no deterrence to anyone’, without apparently understanding the violence of his own attitude. For an older adult male, one who aspires to leadership, to suggest that one act of violence (the extensive gaoling of a young male) can cure another act of violence, is a major misery that logically leads to an escalation of violence in the whole society. Children and young adults reflect the role models that surround them. Geoffrey Atkinson, the youth sentenced, has been raised in a violent society, and Peter Debnam’s statement is proof of that. The whole world presently stands on the brink of escalating violence, and it does so because there is still major belief that punishment is its cure. Punishment performs as petrol thrown on the fire of violence. People are not deterred if they walk out of prison with the same or more violence in their hearts than when they went in. If greater energy went into looking into the violence that surrounded Geoffrey in his growing to adulthood, there would be greater compassion for his circumstances, and less desire to punish him and compound the violence of his past. Geoffrey made a mistake. There is no doubt of this. What matters is not that he made a mistake, because all people do, especially people on the verge of adulthood,

Once you have scooped the poop, don’t leave it in a plastic bag on the beach – take it with you! 3. Dog friendly does not equal dog toilet! Contrary to the dog owner martyrs’ beliefs, we complainers are not dog haters as such. Simply, fed up with what the owners who are ‘as dumb as dog shit’ are doing to our beaches.

Plop-and-bash Does anyone understand the Council approach to road mending? In Wilsons Creek we get the Irish plop-and-bash method… except for now when the holes in the road are approaching two feet in diameter and deep enough to break a wheel. The back road from Federal, however – one of the better condition roads in the area, being wide smooth, even, good edges, no patches, nary a single hole that I could see this morning – was completely retarred today.

Comments on the new Byron LEP ■ I congratulate Council on the excellent presentation of their draft LEP this week, required reading by anyone interested in where Byron Bay will be in ten years time. Clearly one of the most controversial proposals is limiting holiday letting to eight weeks in residential zones. This will upset some residents living next door to properties owned by cowboys, particularly if they are being asked to act as vigilantes! Council planners estimate that there are 6,000 beds in homes, flats and apartments covered by this proposal. If all of these are suddenly withdrawn from tourists, our whole economy would be ruined. Council must arrange an impact assessment before adopting this and take good legal advice. Council also states, ‘Our roads and parking areas are overloaded to levels exceeding their environmental capacity’. This has been known for 17 years since the first traffic study. Subsequent studies have all stated the same, ‘Build a ring road or gridlock will occur.’ To date, Council has wasted at least $5m of our money on consultants, all telling them the same thing, build or else! Council’s DA for the proper ring road (coming out at Mitre 10) was deliberately sabotaged. Cr Staples’s proposed ‘mini bypass’ brought nothing but derision from Transport Minister Watson and anyone else who looks at the map. At least this year we were spared the fiasco of traffic being directed over the railway line at Legend Pizza for New Year ‘traffic management.’ An absolute joke. The Butler Street ring road opens up so many opportunities to manage traffic and parking properly. The market site on Somerset Street has long gone as a sports ground. This could be opened up as all day free parking. Access could be gained via the back of Short Stop, bypassing Shirley Street. (The removal of cars from Shirley Street would enable Council to allow much higher density devel-

opment in this key area, their planners’ goal.) Becton are about to obtain planning approval. This will require them to pay $3m in S94 funds. They are entitled to have a say in how this is spent on infrastructure. They offered it towards the ring road. This was rejected by Council. Why you may ask? In my opinion, some Councillors are deliberately trying to sabotage our main industry. All this year they have been putting people off coming here. Publicity about being unable to manage the number of tourists, particularly day trippers. (They plan to make visitors park their cars in the swamp Council owns opposite Island Quarry! An idea tried and failed in so many countries.) Every opportunity has been taken to say, ‘We don’t want you, go away’. Figures have shown this is starting to work. Your job could be lost and you will have to join Byron’s other huge economy, welfare. Tony Narracott

Byron Bay ■ Holiday letting in our residential areas is a debate the community ‘has to have’. The more we talk about it and look at the problem from all angles, the clearer the picture will become. It is not good enough to just pull a figure out of a hat and throw it in the ring, or to muddy the waters with a bit of baseless and biased scaremongering about job losses and our suffering local economy. I have just seen a map of Byron and Suffolk with lots of dots, each representing a holiday rental property. The scale of the invasion into residential areas is frightening. What it means is that many members of our community have lost their neighbours and gained just faceless visitors. They have lost neighbouring families, school kids and residents who are volunteers and contribute to the community. And all of us have lost some sense of community. There are places for the community and there are places for commercial activities. Holiday letting proper-

ties need not invade residents. There is plenty of tourist accommodation in the area. The draft LEP allows generously for serviced apartments, B & Bs and, of course, there is all that tourism accommodation such as motels and Byron at Byron, and soon coming on line from Becton, the Great Northern Hotel development and others in the town centre. We need the tourism industry for our survival as a vibrant community, both in terms of employment opportunities and the survival of our local businesses. We can and should, as a community, make the ‘right’ tourist feel welcome amongst us and help them to fully enjoy their stay and to come back again. What we don’t need and don’t want is to suffer the invasion of holiday letting into our residential areas, often unsupervised and sometimes owned by unscrupulous, indiscriminate outof-town operators who are not concerned with the impact their business has on the neighbourhood. Let’s move these businesses out of harm’s way. The Byron Bay draft LEP is out on exhibition and you have until March 17 to make a submission to Council. The draft recommends no full-time holiday letting in residential areas. This is highly commendable and deserves support. Unfortunately the draft also allows an exception of up to eight weeks a year. This cannot work: (1) It will be too easy to rort the system and (2) Council does not have the staff or money to regulate this short term letting. (3) It is unreasonable to expect residents to act as vigilantes and report on their neighbours. (4) If everyone lets for the same peak eight weeks, the residential areas will be extremely overrun by this arm of the tourism industry and (5) permanent tenants will be at risk of being ousted in peak holiday periods to allow the owner higher returns from short-term holiday letting. This part of the draft should be rejected.

As a member of the Council-initiated Holiday Letting Forum I urge you to: (1) participate in the debate through the columns of our local newspapers, (2) raise your point of view with Councillors who, after all, are your representatives and (3) contribute to a positive and community-supported LEP (Local Environmental Plan for the Byron Bay area) by writing your submission to the General Manager of Council. Just one last point: ‘What about owner/occupiers who have historically let their homes to families/friends over a holiday period to supplement their financial situation?’ I am often asked. Answer: ‘I sincerely hope we will never lose this tradition. It’s a part of our culture’. Peter Wegner

Suffolk Park ■ In response to Louis Navarone (February 14) and others who have expressed similar views, there is no shortage of tourist accommodation in Byron Bay and hinterland and, in fact, the legitimate tourist providers are not happy competing with people who have bought properties for short-term rental in residential areas where, under the existing LEP, these businesses are not allowed. There are many reasons for restricting holiday letting as proposed under the new LEP but I think one stands out: the need to protect residents, people who actually live here and deserve a reasonable residential amenity and a sense of community. Louis writes of people who don’t read the LEP being left in ignorance and therefore disadvantaged. What surprises me is that people are ignorant of the current rules and somehow believe that Byron is just a tourist town, everything up for rent regardless of residents’ needs.Those who promote unrestricted holiday letting no doubt reinforce this impression in their own interests (greed?) and it’s time residents spoke up in defence of their rights.

George Feros: the unorthodox Greek Geoff Williams When Ruby Brown, the only child of the eccentric George Feros, visited Bangalow last year to be part of the 25th anniversary celebrations of Feros Care in the Shire, she saw ďŹ rst hand the ‘wonderful work that Feros Care is doing, and I wanted to contribute in some way to the dream my father had all those years ago’. Ruby became determined to write George’s biography and donate the proceeds to Feros Care. ‘The pain of my early years with George has been outweighed by the effort I see people putting into Feros Care today. From the voluntary work I have done in aged care, I know ďŹ rst hand how much aged care is a valued part of our society,’ says Ruby. She was also surprised by the number of people who asked her to write a book about her father, the fondly remembered man who died in 1981. The manuscript has now been written and Ruby is looking for help to get it published, not to make any money from the proceeds herself, but to continue the work of her father by raising more money for the nursing home. Ruby’s aim is to raise enough to buy a bus for Feros Bangalow so that residents can get out and about, go on picnics, visit other towns and ‘do all those things that they should be able to do’. Ruby, who lives at Gunning, near Canberra, found that writing the book about George was cathartic, as it traces the life of a man who went from being an altar boy in Greece to an old man in Byron Bay who was almost committed to a mental home because some of the things he did to raise money raised eyebrows too. While writing it she had to ponder what it was that drove her father to devote over 20 years of his life to raising money for a much needed nursing home in the region. Was it a passion or an obsession? In the end Ruby believes it was an obsession and quotes examples of George ‘stealing’ things from his own home to sell to raise money, much to the chagrin of his wife, Ruby’s mother Edna, who banned Ruby as a seven year old from having anything to do with her father. In the book she retraces the life of George who, as a 20 year old Greek, arrived in Byron Bay in 1923. George and his brother Tony started a Greek cafĂŠ on the site that is now Feros Arcade and through being good business entrepreneurs, they largely succeeded. However, it was

Ruby Brown, who is a food technology educator, author and pastoral care worker, hopes that people will read and enjoy her book, even if they didn’t know her father George Feros, and by buying a copy, help Feros Care and keep George’s work an ongoing project.

much later when George’s other brother Jack contracted Parkinson’s Disease that George, seeing a desperate need for a nursing home in Byron Bay, set about devoting all his energies to getting one, and for 21 years that is all he did, much to the expense of his family. ‘It was this experience [with Jack] that prompted George into his single minded determination to see that the frail and elderly of Byron Bay should have well appointed care facilities in their twilight years. Jack died in 1969. By this time George was in full swing with his collecting. It may have been too late for a nursing home for his brother, but George wanted to ensure that in the future all frail, aged elderly citizens in Byron Bay would have aged care facilities available to them,’ Ruby writes. ‘George started earnestly collecting money for his cause. He thought of some very unusual ways to collect money. He would go ďŹ shing and catch some ďŹ sh and sell them. His rather tramp-like appearance would draw him to people’s attention. People would most generously give him food, which he would sell.’ Ruby writes of how ‘the butcher in Lawson Street would given him meat. George sold the meat, not for money for himself or his wife or daughter, but for his passion for a nursing home. My mother used to have to hide the meat in the back of the freezer, so it would be there when she needed food, otherwise George would ďŹ nd it and sell it. It is no wonder all the worry she lived with took her to an early grave.’ In another scheme ‘George used to collect day-old bread from the bakehouse, two doors up from where he lived in Lawson Street. He took the bread home and laid it

out on plastic sheets to dry. When it was dry, he would crush it with a rolling pin, do it up in bags and sell the breadcrumbs. ‘Anything in sight got sold. My mother had to hide things that were valuable or precious to her, or they would disappear to anywhere where George could ďŹ nd someone who would buy his wares and the money went to the nursing home project. ‘My mother used to say, he would sell her if he could! My mother had to rely a lot on donations of food. She used to worry that if people found out George was selling food given to them, people would stop the donations and she would not have enough food for her survival. In some ways my mother was the unknown hero in this story as she sacriďŹ ced a lot over many years, while George continued with his passion to sell things for the nursing home’. Older residents will recall George riding around Byron on his pushbike without any regard to the laws of the road, ringing his bell and raising money. Others will remember the incongruous sight of the old man collecting money under

the ashing disco lights at the Surfside Hotel, now replaced by the Beach. George would do anything for a few ‘pennies’ and was happy to let God take care of not only the ‘pounds’, but of what others thought of his sometimes strange ways. George didn’t live to see his dream built but his legacy still remains strong. The money he raised was added to a government grant, but it was a home for the aged that was built in Byron Bay, not a nursing home (after the state government said that one was not necessary). However, many others, fired by George’s passion, continued to raise funds until the nursing home was ďŹ nally built in Bangalow in 1997. The book, with insights into Byron’s earlier days, is a no holds barred look at an inspired life, written with compassion, brave emotion, detail, and in the end with a moving account of a profound experience as Ruby has an unexpected reconciliation with the spirit of her father while writing it. Q If you are able to help Ruby get her book published, please contact Geoff Williams at The Echo.

Report animal cruelty to hotline Animal Liberation has launched its 1800 number campaign for its second year. The campaign encourages people in rural NSW to report cruelty to farm animals. Last year over 200 calls were taken, three of which were investigated by the police with a view to prosecutions. The number – 1800 751 770 – provides a safe and anonymous avenue for callers to report cruelty to animals, said Mark Pearson, executive director of Animal Liberation.

‘Cases to date have included starvation, lack of shelter and access to water, disease, neglect and abandonment,’ he said. ‘The condition of some animals has been so terrible that officials have needed to euthanise them. ‘Reporting cases of cruelty in small communities is difďŹ cult as people depend on each other in times of crises and there can be potential negative ramiďŹ cations from “dobbing in a neighbourâ€?. It is equally difďŹ cult not to intervene.’

The Dowrick Index: how happy are you? Mandy Nolan Why do Stephanie Dowrick’s books have such resonance with readers? She has written a number of life changing best sellers including Intimacy and Solitude, Forgiveness and other Acts of Love, The Universal Heart, and her 2005 release Choosing Happiness. It was a response that took the publishers of her ďŹ rst tender footstep into personal growth texts by surprise, having to reprint every few weeks. Who would have expected such demand for a book mapping an inner jour-

ney? But according to Stephanie, the public was hungry for something which ‘spoke to their condition’. For New Zealand born Stephanie, who founded the prestigious publishing house The Women’s Press, writing has always been an obsession. ‘I am profoundly interested in exploring how we can look more positively at ourselves, our utterly precious gift of life and the society we are collectively creating. This exploration drives my life and work.

‘For more than two decades writing has been my main occupation. I have written ďŹ ction that is concerned with psychological and spiritual questions as well as creative non-fiction that reflects and supports the search for meaning and connection in all our lives. For some years I also worked as a psychotherapist and in the writing of my books, I draw on a range of psychotherapeutic ideas, as well as the spiritual traditions of the East and West. ‘In addition to writing my books, teaching, giving talks and spiritual retreats I also write a fortnightly column ‘Inner Life’ for GoodWeekend Magazine. Each of these activities – along with personal study, spiritual development and spending invaluable time with friends and family – is part of the same whole: living life fully and reecting deeply upon it.’ Her most recent publication Choosing Happiness, Life & Soul Essentials was written in response to her friendship with a young woman called Catherine whose earnest quest for self-knowledge inspired Stephanie to adapt her format. ‘Catherine made a fairly startling request. Many people, she asserted, would be or could be as supported by my work as she had been, but might see themselves as too busy to read an entire book from cover to cover. Her generation particularly, Catherine suggested, had become used to wanting and getting information in highly focused, highly accessible chunks.They wanted depth‌ Was it possible to provide

depth – at speed? ‘Was it possible for me to present some of what I had researched and discovered through my psychotherapy training, and years of writing workshops and teaching, in a more concentrated, episodic form?’ The answer is most deďŹ nitely ‘Yes’. Choosing Happiness is constructed in parts. For the seasoned reader who likes to pick up a book and dive in at the usual entry point, emerging some time later, fully sated, head bobbing up only at the conclusion, then at ďŹ rst the format is a little obtrusive. Rather than complete immersion, readers ďŹ nd themselves continually popping up for air, as each idea is contemplated

with a meditative simplicity. The book is arranged in short, succinct sections like ‘Eavesdrop on your Self Talk’ or ‘Your Values are changing the World’. The reader is offered a series of ‘entry points’ and invited to allow sufďŹ cient time to consider each section. This is a bedside book, or spiritual companion, rather than a coverto-cover one night stand. Of the format Stephanie says, ‘You can read from beginning to end and I suspect that the people who get the most from it will read it from beginning to end. It was really about giving people what they want immediately‌ I have been writing a column for the GoodWeekend for five years and I have

learnt to write succinctly. It’s extremely difďŹ cult to do well. It’s challenging and you have to use the mind of a poet to get the absolute essence‌ this book really evolves through the dialogue between Catherine and myself.’ Being reminded to ‘Choose Happiness’ seems akin to that phrase ‘Remember to Breathe’. Why do we keep losing touch with our natural and internal wisdom? ‘I think the desire for meaning is a deeply entrenched and invaluable human desire and if the understanding of what makes your life meaningful doesn’t come from outside yourself then of course you have to ďŹ nd it yourself. You don’t always have to ďŹ nd it on your own. In a book, you are working it out alongside other people. A book is a very companionable way to work things out, alongside the reader, the writer and if the book is really working for you in a fertile way it will provoke you to have different conversations with people. It can be a catalyst that leads people to talking about their issues differently. It can give you permission.’ Q Stephanie Dowrick is a featured speaker for the Whole Woman Festival at two major events: The Art of Living Consciously at the Byron Community Centre on Friday March 10 at 7pm and Women Planting Seeds of Change at the Coolangatta Tweed Golf Club the following day at 10am. To make enquiries about any of these events, call 0424 604 028 or log onto www. wholewoman.com.au.

Claire aims to fast track journalism careers Freelance correspondent and author Claire Scobie is back by popular demand after sellout workshops for the Northern Rivers Writers’ Centre in 2005. Claire’s 2006 workshop series, entitled Feature Writing for ProďŹ t – Fast Track to a Successful Career in Journalism, is offered as a two-part package. The two full-day workshops, with ďŹ ve weeks between, will explore in depth the different stages of writing a feature article, from selling the initial idea to an editor to polishing the ďŹ nal product. Workshop One will be held on Saturday, February 25. It deals with how to impress an editor with strong ideas and has a thorough look at interview techniques and how to craft a feature story. At the end of the day each participant will, with

Claire’s guidance, decide on a story to write. During the five-week break they will conduct an interview and write a feature of their own. Before the second workshop they will have the opportunity to send their story to

Claire for suggestions. Workshop Two, to be held on Saturday, April 1, will discuss ways to improve and polish the story. Concentrating on writing and editing processes, it will discuss how and where to market your feature for best exposure, best price. Claire Scobie won a national UK award as BestYoung Woman Journalist of the Year in 1997. Since then she has worked as a freelance journalist for, among others, The Daily Telegraph and The Glasgow Herald in the UK; The Age and Sunday Life in Australia and South China Morning Post in Hong Kong. Her stories range from interviews to investigative reports,

travel articles and literary reviews. After working at the Saturday Telegraph Magazine in London, Claire left to become a roving correspondent throughout the Indian sub-continent before moving to Australia in 2002. Her ďŹ rst non-ďŹ ction book will be published next June by Random House, entitled Last Seen in Lhasa: a true story of an extraordinary friendship in modern Tibet. The total cost for this twopart workshop series is $90 for NRWC members and $120 for non-members. Numbers are limited and bookings are essential. Both workshops will be held at the Byron Bay Community and Cultural Centre in Jonson Street from 10am to 4pm. For bookings and information call NRWC on 6685 5115.

Hans Lovejoy At just 19 years of age, locally born and bred Julian McInerney has just started his first business. Pizza. His decision to team up with Eagle Boys was based on the fact that it’s a 100 percent Australian owned and operated company, and, because it’s fully franchised, all stores are owned by local community members. Julian, who was born in Byron Bay Hospital and went to St Finnbar’s Primary School, said he opened Eagle Boys in Jonson Street, Byron Bay, to give people a quality, cheap pizza alternative. ‘Sometimes, all you want is a quick, cheap pizza and at the moment that’s pretty hard to find in Byron Bay,’ Julian said. Julian said another reason he wanted to open Eagle

Boys was to provide jobs for local teenagers and train them in the workings of the fast food and retail industry. ‘All my staff are Byron Bay locals and for most of them it’s their first job so it’s great to be able to provide that opportunity.’ Julian said he would support local business by purchasing ingredients from local suppliers where possible. As rent for Byron’s lucrative main shopping drags are so expensive, larger outside companies such as franchises seem to be the only way a business can start and be given a reasonable chance at success. ‘There’s a lot of misconceptions about franchises,’ Julian told The Echo. ‘Apart from being Australian owned, the company provides great support, training and business strategies.’

Mums and Bubs are back

The Byron Mums and Bubs Support Group is starting up again in Byron Bay. The group, which was initiated over ten years ago as a natural progression for women after birthing, who gained support through the Byron Pregnancy Group. In a culture where parenting is often done in isolation, many new mums experience loneliness and the change of lifestyle a shock. Mums are separated from the ‘tribe’ and most new mums don’t have their mothers, aunties and sisters to help them through this time

of great transition. The Byron Mums and Bubs group is starting up on February 22 and will run regularly every Wednesday from 10am to midday at the Buddha Bar Dance Studio at The Arts Factory. There will be a 40 minute bodywork session before catching a cuppa and gathering for a discussion circle. A range of topics will be covered including, breastfeeding, nutrition, sex, isolation, juggling toddlers and babies and more. The cost will be $5. For further enquiries call Suzanne 0402 590 725.

living in Brixton who provided the vehicle for Britons to pay homage to the end of an era for a London institution: The Routemaster (RM), better known as the red double decker bus. A f t e r wo r k i n g f o r Byron Shire Council as water education officer for three years, Jane Saunders took herself off to London to pursue her passion of film. She spent the first two years cutting her teeth as communications manager for a film training organisation before volunteering for another film company which promptly offered her a permanent job. Within six months she found herself organ i s i n g e ve n t s at t h e Cannes Film Festival giving her the experience she needed to go freelance and allow her to travel more. She really made her mark on London when she organised the ‘Fare-

ten homemade shor ts which film enthusiasts put together at breakneck speed for the event. As a regular commuter on the 159, Jane was so touched by the decision to end the Routemaster’s domination of the London streets that, with just a week to go before the 159 made its final journey, she urged filmmakers to record its demise with the call: ‘A London icon is about to die’. She then spent every day of its final week ‘filming and collecting commuter stor ies,but really just trying to satisfy my RM bus fix’. Coinciding the event with the eve of the fiftieth anniversary of the RM’s inaugural journey, Jane was hopeful that she would create a community feel worthy of the RM. The final result was an eclectic mix of entries which so impressed and

ment media that she received accolades from s u c h we l l r e s p e c t e d journals as Time Out magazine. Jane is currently editing a short documentary she filmed while in Byron Shire when she

Council Roundup with Michael McDonald

If minutes be the food of love, play on

I

could think of no more romantic way to celebrate Valentines Day than to attend the first Byron Shire Council planning meeting of 2006. Lambs were gambolling in the park next to the council chambers, daisies lifted their smiling faces to the sun, birds twittered sweet nothings from branch to branch. Or maybe not. Little had changed since last year. Our ancestral aldermen glared down from the walls. The strelitzias at the

Burringbar Street window were higher and hid the traffic while a lone gym shoe sheltered behind them. All councillors were present apart from Jan Mangleson and at one stage they outnumbered the folk in the public gallery, which included two ex-cons, er, ex-councillors, Jenny Coman and Duncan Dey. First public access for the year was a happy one with Perry Wells, general manager of the Northern Region

Westpac Rescue Helicopter, thanking Council for its ongoing support of the last 15 years and the contributions of its employees through its pay scheme. Mr Wells noted that the service had flown 288 missions in the last year, seven so far this year, and was heading for about 5,000 missions in its life to July this year. Choppers do not come cheap, the next fleet upgrade in June 2007 expected to cost $5-6 million.

The second and only other public access was also relatively angst-free, with Telstra reps asking Council for an amendment to its Shirewide LEP so the telco could put in applications to lay cable in environmentally sensitive zones. The general vibe was that the current slow passage of the LEP to fruition would delay the web savvy in the bush access to ADSL and the glory of fast spam download, particularly at the Broken Head Coastal Foundation.

On the way to a 7-2 vote in favour, Crs Staples and Lazarus opposed, the Telstra dudes got a thorough grilling. John Lazarus asked if broadcast not cable was the future and got the reply it was not Telstra’s policy and line-of-sight was still an issue in some wireless networks. (At high management level Telstra execs must be burning the worry beads day and night over the anarchic way punters are turning to mobile phones and satellite connections.) On a motion from Mayor Jan Barham, Council voted 5-4, Crs Kestle, Tucker, Woods and Tardif opposed,

Councillors had been travelling nicely but the wheels fell off when it came to select the membership of a Biodiversity Working Group to carry out Council’s award-winning biodiversity strategy. A resolution had been made in September 2004, mind you, to establish the group but councillors felt the need to revisit the reasons why and revisit it they did in a generally meandering, undisciplined way. Cr Barham got stroppy with staff and Cr Kestle got stroppy with Cr Barham and got a recount on the 5-4 vote in favour because Cr Staples had been

to also enter into discussions with Telstra on who foots the bill for preparing the amendment. Readers should note the amendment does not give Telstra carte blanche but only allows it to lodge applications – which it was unable to do before in several zones – and these will be subject to the usual process of public exhibition and environmental assessment. Cr Barham had little trouble getting up her notice of motion 9-0 for her to attend the Local Government and Shires Association Tourism Conference in Sydney, a Sea Change Taskforce conference and the inaugural NSW Mayors Forum. The forum will look chiefly at planning issues. Bob Tardif was the only other councillor to put up his hand to participate, and he’ll be off to the tourism conference. Council is coming to the end of its $17,000 conference budget for 2005/06, so expect trips no further than Murwillumbah in the next four months.

slow to put up his hand. Those opposed felt expressions of interest should be called for publicly (rather than leave it to the landcare and catchment management umbrella groups along with several other interest groups). Cr Kestle suggested ‘everyone who pays rates should have an opportunity to nominate’, effectively disenfranchising the renting electors. The light relief was provided by planning director Ray Darney jokingly refusing to answer Cr Diane Woods’s question as to whether it would be easier for staff to implement the strategy without a committee. Councillors’ own meeting ‘procedure’ made the answer obvious. After that debate Cr Tom Tabart was about to launch into a spirited investigation of Council’s legal costs but I had a previous appointment with Cupid in a dark alley. It would involve knuckle dusters on my part, and harsh questions about a missing box of chocolates.

Whaling protest targets seafood business Dean Jefferys Eleven people from Byron Whale Action Group and the newly formed Sea Shepherd group dumped frozen Sealord fish and calamari next to mock whale sushi out front of the Japanese consulate in Brisbane last Wednesday to protest against Japanese whaling and SeaLord’s involvement in the whaling industry. Howie Cooke composed a special song for the event and two loud drums gave it a good Byron flavour. On the way to Brisbane in the hired bus I received a call from ABC Radio in Brisbane and was asked why we were targeting the Sealord company. I explained that the Howard government has refused to get serious about helping the whales and instead of taking Japan to the International Court of Justice it prefers to not rock Japan’s boat even if it kills whales. So it’s now up to consumers to put economic pressure on the whale killers and everyone associated with them. We are recommending consumers pressure Japan directly to stop killing whales by boycotting all Japanese products and services including Japanese

If people stop buying Sealord products this will put maximum pressure on Sealord and their partner Nissui to stop whaling as the lost sales will cost them more than what they make on selling whale meat. Straight after my interview I heard a spokesperson from Sealord being interviewed. I could feel his concern of what a boycott of Sealord products would do and he argued a boycott was going one step

to far. Yet when you have one of these amazing whales come right up to you as a real act of friendship and you think that they are facing Japanese harpoons within a year, I know I have to do whatever I can to help them. Boycotts against companies owned or part owned by Nissui are now happening all around the world and in Argentina and the USA these companies are under enormous economic pressure to stop whaling. It’s a matter of time and people exercising their consumer power and whaling will stop. Of course action needs to happen on all levels and our

prime minister should be lobbied to take legal action against Japan. Pressure should also be put on the local MPs and the state premiers to pressure Howard to take decisive action to help the whales. Here in Byron we have an opportunity and in fact an obligation to the whales to lead Australia in whale conser vation. Byron Shire could take the humpback on as our local symbol, hang a banner across the street and lobby the various bodies to help ensure they are not harpooned by the Japanese whaler s this December when they return back to the Antarctic. Throughout Australia the

whale watching industry makes $273 million from the whales without hurting one whale. Once one harpoon hits a humpback you can virtually kiss this industry goodbye as no whale will come anywhere near a boat perhaps for another 40 years. At a time when whale human interaction and connection is at an all time high it would be a tragedy to go back to the fear-of-death relationship these whales’ parents had with humans 40 years ago. Sealord’s chief executive Doug Mackay has labelled conservationists’ campaign to boycott Sealord products as ‘commercial terrorism’. Mackay confirms that dividend payments are shared 50-50 with their Japanese partner Nissui and that Sealord does not have a problem with what Nissui does in its own patch. If you sleep with the devil sooner or a later you have to pay the price and the price for getting into bed with whale killers Nissui is a boycott of all Sealord products, until Sealord sells its 50% Nissui share to a more reputable company or they convince Nissui to stop killing whales. We marched to the nearby Japanese Airline

JAL office to urge people to boycott Japanese Airlines. The doors seemed to mysteriously open and the police seemed to let me slip on through and up to the 14th floor where I proceeded to tell the manager of our campaign to boycott JAL and that he should tell the Japanese PM to close their countr y’s whaling industr y as it’s costing them a lot of business. Apparently the protest caused quite a stir in NZ. We have also been talking with some supermarket chains to see if they will stop distributing Sealord products. There may be a local protest coming up at Woolworth’s in Byron Bay to help them make a decision. Next Friday at 4pm at Little Watego’s Beach those people interested in helping the whales are invited to gather for a chat and a swim with our cetacean friends. If you want to express your concern about Sealord’s involvement with Nissui and whale killing you can call them free on 1800 732 5673. or email them at inquiries@sealord.com For more info and action ideas to help the whales see www. worldpeacenow.org.au, www.seashepherd.org and www.greenpeace.org.

1. When Prime isn’t showing the winter games it’s reaching back into the vault for old episodes of Moonlighting (weekdays, 3pm) with Willis and Shepherd. They’re not as good as you remember. 2. Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis, however, can still carry Thelma & Louise (Prime, Friday, noon). 3. It’s no wonder the empire lost in the end (Star Wars V, Ten, Friday, 9pm): this is how they think military assault vehicles should be designed. 4. Ten atones for its ghastly Saturday night by screening the original version of The Producers on Sunday at noon – just after you’ve ordered a copy from Amazon on account of how new Bloom Matthew Broderick doesn’t measure up to Gene Wilder…

The A to Z of Collective Nouns

Probably the most commonly recognised collective nouns starting with A are an ARMADA of ships and an ARCHIPELAGO of islands. Lesser known are an AUDIT of bookkeepers and an AMBUSH of tigers (also used with the wonderful imagery of an ambush of widows). Then there is the witty an ANTHOLOGY of prostitutes (because they are pros), the wordplay an AARMOURY of aardvarks, and the sound-bite an ASCENSION of larks. An ABSENCE of professors gives us an idea of their mindedness while an AURORA of polar bears hints at their geography. Locally we can have an ANNOYANCE of sniffer dogs or an ARREST of Main Armers.

(thanks to reader Joan Mott for the idea)

Backhouse Blitz AN INTERVIEW WITH TONY BACKHOUSE, THE MAN WHO GETS AUSTRALIA SINGING Back in 1986 a group of singers assembled as a makeshift choir under the tutelage of Musical Director Tony Backhouse. They lifted the roof on every hall they practised in, and it wasn’t long before they were singing under the moniker of ‘The Cafe of the Gate of Salvation’. A celebration of the love of gospel, The Cafe has just turned 20 with about half a dozen original members still remaining. Backhouse is planning a big choir bash with all previous members, numbering some 100 for later in the year. Twenty years of talented tonsils, ďŹ lling the atmosphere with sonic delights. A night at the Cafe will restore your soul, for there is truly no greater tonic for the soul than gospel. So how do you take 30 people on the road and not manage to lose them somewhere along the way? ‘We do it rarely... it’s hard to transport 20 or 30 people and try and stay together, they are a pretty well behaved bunch, although they think they are rock and roll animals.’ Gospel emerged from Afro-

American culture as a voice of resilience and hope. The wonder of an unbreakable spirit. Is this why we love gospel? ‘I guess so, it’s hard to know what sort of effect we are having, there is always a lot of joy and enthusiasm – it’s rapturous. Gospel is very much about transcending your everyday life and about love and joy... well, yeah, ultimatley spiritual love and the joys of the heaven to come. There’s always a bit of inner pain and suffering but it’s about transcending – about how crap it is here and how much better it will be there!’ This is the kind of music that just keeps you going. So where does one ďŹ nd good gospel..is it something you have to seek out? ‘We have quite a big repertoire, and occasionally members of the choir write songs as well, up North we’ll be singing some songs from our last album. But I do try and ďŹ nd music that hasn’t been heard. Great gospel songs. I look for something with a lot of groove. I have a pretty extensive CD and record collection. Half of which I haven’t even played the B side of yet. I go to the States every couple of years and hang around outside the black churches...’

It’s a big jump to ďŹ nd yourself playing bass in a band to fronting a choir. For Tony, it was the realisation of a lifelong dream. ‘I started out playing guitar and bass in rock bands – in New Zealand. I played in rock bands for years and heard some gospel and thought I had to ďŹ nd out more about it but there was no way in Sydney – there’s not a huge Afro American population there. I started a male quarted called the Elevators, and that’s the reason I started the choir, so I could have that same experience.’ If Tony had to pick his top 5 gos-

‘there is always a lot of joy and enthusiasm – it’s rapturous‘ pel songs? Easy. ’Peace in the Valley, Life’s Journey, Careless Soul, What Then and Precious Lord, Take my Hand’. ‘Gospel is a bit of an oral tradition. Gospel choirs tend to funk up the songs and then the line is sometimes blurred as to who

@$EMENTEDLY 'OOD &UN 6ANITY &AIR

wrote or created the song.’ How do you decide who gets the solos? Is it a trying time for the choir? Do egos get trampled? ‘Well you have to split with all the basses – you audition for the solos within the choir – tension? – deďŹ nitely – we have a lot of good singers – not too many Princesses apart from me of course!’ Tony doesn’t just direct the Cafe at the Gates of Salvation he also teaches other community choirs. ‘I teach them some gospel songs, they just join in best they can (you don’t have to be a great singer) – there will be over 50

people and I’ll teach them 4 part harmonies and try to replicate a black gospel choir... I have done it at the Sydney Town Hall – with 1800 people singing along – but even a small group with intention can make a big sound.’ They say that Laughter does all

sorts of great things for the mind and body. Does singing have a similar effect? ‘Singing keeps you young, and boosts the immune system...’ As for Tony, he credits the workshops with keeping his interpretation of songs dynamic and fresh. ‘I learn something every time – it keeps me fresh. There will be a song that I have taught for years and I come across a group that doesn’t get it and I have to ďŹ nd new ways to communicate ways to sing the song. It teaches me about the song and enhances my people skills...’ The Cafe at the Gates of Salvation are what Sly and the Family Stone would call ‘everyday people’, all with day jobs. There are those who are lawyers, bankers, drug and alcohol counsellors, mothers, fathers... and they are there for the love of it. You can experience the euphoria of a little Salvation when they sing up the Bangalow A&I Hall on Saturday, or be part of an A Cappella Singing Workshop with Tony Backhouse at Suffolk Park Hall the next day. Bookings for the workshop are through ACE on 6684 3374 and tix for the show are at the door for $20/25. Doors open from 7.15pm.

I HAVE never been entirely comfortable with the concept of Valentine’s Day. Cards offering protestations of undying love and devotion from some anonymous purveyor of affection is tantamount to stalking. Really, on any other day would you accept such inane verse as ‘Roses are Red, Violets are blue... pass me the RU486, Tony, I’m done with you’. I am not a romantic. In the past, when lovers were hell bent on sharing their poetry I couldn’t help but feel embarrassed, and was inclined to dump them. Sentimental outpourings only serve to make me uncomfortable and nauseous. I’m a pragmatist. Why waste paper when only a few words will do. What I’m saying is, fuck the poetry, cut to the chase. I’d much prefer to open a card from my husband that said ‘I love you, how about a root?’ than 16 stanzas of Elizabeth Barrett Browning. What is this thing called, Love? My 4 year old son already has a crush on an older woman. She’s pushing 6. Almost twice his age. I asked him how he knew that he liked her, what made her different from all his other little friends. He said with quiet contemplation: ‘Well, when I see her, my heart

#!2,4/. #/,$ 345"")%3 %3

beats really fast... And then I want to be mean to her.’ Oh, I’m so proud, just like his Mum! I don’t know if I’m unromantic, or just plain lazy. Maybe I just don’t make enough of an effort – so this year I decided to give my man a little treat. I wanted to do something a little different. Something my fella would never forget. In Japan, business men pay top dollar to eat sushi from the naked body of a beautiful woman. Wouldn’t my Aussie bloke just love that? I was up early waxing and exfoliating, frying and toasting. You can imagine my husband’s surprise when he awoke to ďŹ nd his breakfast served on the naked body of a once beautiful woman. I’m talking fried eggs, hash brown, a few sausages, a side of bacon, baked beans... the works. The human body is amazing, it comes complete with a coffee cup holder, (this did reduce my talking, so it was a happy day). I even managed to fashion a makeshift toast rack with my cleavage. It was a wonderful moment for husband and wife and quite frankly, what woman hasn’t fantasised about being a plate. I’m a big girl, so we are talking the human bay marie. Now that’s what I call romance.

FUN OF THE FAIR Karnivool have just released their ďŹ rst full length album ‘Themata’ a much anticipated contribution to independent music. I grabbed a quick chat with band member Mark Hosking. So what do you credit your recent successes to? ‘ We’ve had a few Triple J presents – they been really good to us over the last couple of years – gave us the support on the last couple of songs – it’s another reason why Triple J are so good that they take semi risks in supporting emerging music.’ How long was this album in the making? ‘Themata basically took about 3 or 4 years – something we started writing a fair while ago, we wanted to take it apart. There are 5 in the band and we all come from different backgrounds. We didn’t want to limit that – we had a long recording process – in about

The feature act this month is local favourites The Hottentots, who have returned to the shire after a 3 month tour of Europe and Australia, with new songs and travel tales. Their inventive songwriting and smooth polished performance ensures they are favourites of the folk scene and winners of many songwriting awards.Their music and presence is ideally suited to the intimate setting of the Folk Club. These warm, passionate and talented performers should not be missed. And as Philip Adams once said: ‘Parissa has a voice that would aggravate the angels with its beauty’. If you are an original songwriter and would like a spot on the chalkboard, please turn up by 7pm to put your name down.

Into the Blues

A Fanning Fan

LIVEMUSIC Mullumbimby Folk Club, Old Drill Hall, Thursday, Doors open 7.45pm for 8.00pm start. $5 admission. Tea, coffee and cakes available.

ii ADDICTED TO LOVE Ian Rilen – the ageless veteran of some of rock and roll’s most destructive (and selfdestructive) outďŹ ts is donning the leathers and making his way to the Beach. Ian Rilen and the Love Addicts are regarded as Australia’s best exponents of gut-bucket, dirty

rock blues. Little wonder, when you consider Rilen’s personal musical pedigree, which moved one critic to dub him ‘Mr Rock and Roll’ and another to call him a ‘musical Dorian Gray’. Rilen cut his musical teeth playing bass in early ‘70s progressive blues band Band of Light and went on to found Rose Tattoo in 1976. He left Rose Tattoo because they weren’t hard enough but not before writing their all time classic song ‘Bad Boy for Love.’ Rilen teamed

MOST KNOW Bernard Fanning as the sexily scruffy chap who fronts PowderďŹ nger. Mr Fanning has emerged from the shadow of the ďŹ nger, to take a quick breather and record his very own and often rather private musings, in a sensually styled sepia infused brew ‘Tea and Sympathy’. Initially I am reminded of Cat Steven’s Tea for the Tillerman, and while Fanning has few of the vocal stylings of the aforementioned singer, there is most deďŹ nitely a tender poetic nod in the direction of the quietness and the passion of a well considered solo album. There is also the white suit. And the beard. And the word tea. For a brief time before my battery decided to drop out, I managed to grab a quick cuppa with Bernard. ‘PowderďŹ nger took a break (been going since 92) and it was the plan, to do the solo. I wanted to do something that was different.’ I love ballads. Most of all I love ballads played loudly in my car on my own. It’s almost therapeutic. I

with some unlikely novices in singer Steve Lucas, guitarist Ian Krahe and a journeyman drummer in Steve CaďŹ ero to form X, who landed like a suicide bomb in the middle of the burgeoning Sydney punk scene. X had a reputation for fast, incredibly loud and stunningly powerful rock and roll that deďŹ ed categorisation, but attracted a fanatical following of punks, skinheads and the disaffected. There has also been stints as a singer for the primal Skindiver and as a hired hand for ex- Cold Chisel guitarist Ian Moss followed, as did a brief spell back in the Rose Tattoo ranks. But it’s as a solo artist – and more recently as singer-guitarist for The Love Addicts – you get to see this timeless frontman with a raw vocal and six serratededge strings in all his broken glory. One radio host quite aptly described the mixture of dirty blues as ‘cocktails in the gutter’. They play the Beach Hotel on Thursday.

ii BEACHSIDE BORDELLO

Ian Rilen and the Love Addicts, at the Beach Hotel, Thursday

After a witness re-location program took Bordello from Perth to Melbourne in 2002, the band got straight to work building up their East Coast fan base. There’s been several return trips to keep their

admitted this to Monsieur Fanning who retorted ‘That’s because you are a sook.’ ‘I know I am, but so are you. You wrote them.’ Pause. ‘Yes, I am. I’m a massive sook.’ By his own admission. I took advantage of his tiny vulnerable moment to sneak up on one of the tunes, namely Songbird to see if he wouldn’t share a little of the inspiration. ‘I don’t like having to explain the songs because it ruins them. I tap into what’s happening for me. I don’t want to romanticise the process. I just sit and do it over and over. It doesn’t bother me. I love that process when I am writing a song. It’s like beating it into shape.’ In an interview I did with Tex Perkins recently, he mentioned how you can focus on just one word, and it’s all about getting that exactly right. A small change can inuence the whole feel of the song. ‘I think the best example of this was the Beatles’ albums – you can hear how songs went from being

acoustic, to masterpieces.’ For Fanning, writing is about tapping into that soft and silent place where sadness resides. ‘I think when you are writing songs, especially emotional ballady things, you are looking for that real honesty..one of those things that make you go oh fucking hell! No need to stretch it into caricature. Songs and sadness and melancholy.’ We tend to hide our sadness here. The emotional economy is very much focused on appearing controlled. ‘I haven’t really spent that much time out of Australia, but I was in

legions of West Aussie fans satisďŹ ed and literally hundreds of shows in front of thousands of East Coasters. Bordello hibernated to reinvent their sound, rewrite their set list, record a new EP and prepare an explosion onto the national circuit. Bordello formed in W.A. and after achieving everything possible on the local scene, they gravitated to the thriving diversity of Melbourne. Brothers Ben (vocals/ samples) and Josh Johnstone (guitar/ vocals) are the core members of Bordello. Their live performance is energetic to the point of being manic. They write the songs and produce the unique sounds and samples which are the creative force behind Bordello. Rany Benjamin (drums/ percussion) plays an unusual kit set-up, combining traditional rock kit elements with congas and other percussion, as well as triggering loops and sampled sounds. Audience members have often been surprised to discover that upon meeting him, he actually does only have 2 arms. They play the Beach Hotel on Friday.

Europe and the UK for about 6 months recording and one thing I noticed (by cultural comparison)I how we don’t show extremes. You can’t be ecstatic, you can’t be sad..I think it turns up into psychopaths... We are digesting the worst of American Culture as well... the danger is that we could end up becoming ...’ And then the battery died. So I guess I’ll never know. The album is brilliant. Moody, poetic, sad and inspired. Music to drink tea by. Or perhaps a bottle of claret. Bernard Fanning is a featured artist at the Blues Festival this year. For a full line up: www.bluesfest.com.au

Demand for remixes has been high; they have added their own stamp to tracks for A SKillz and Krafty Kuts, Skeewiff, Nickodemus, Kraak and Smaak, and Mo’Horizons among others, and they also produced tracks for Afrika Bambaata’s album, including the floor filling single ‘Got That Vibe’.

A lot of idiots you are, selling your own birthright for a saucer of cold porridge! The thrill of theft! Of violence! The urge to live easy! Well, I ask you what is it worth when we have undeniable truth – yes! Incontrovertible evidence that Hell exists! I know! I know my friends! I have been informed in visions that there is a place darker than any prison, hotter than any ame of human ďŹ re, where souls of unrepentant criminal sinners like yourselves...!

Sam Mendes follows convention in telling an unconventional war story. We meet the rookie marines at boot camp and hoon around with them during training before they are posted to Kuwait after the 1990 Iraqi invasion. The politics of the conict is not an issue, what is being probed is the violent nature of man and the unfashionable concept that being a soldier can be a brutish joy. Apocalypse Now is a major reference and the off-duty marines’ reaction to a bombing scene from that movie is hilarious and shocking. As in Coppola’s classic, Swoff (Jake Gyllenhaal), Troy (Peter Sasgaard) and their buddies are as driven to make a kill as Willard was in his mission to eliminate Kurtz. It is an acute and discomďŹ ting psychological study. In a surreal and nihilistic desert setting, Mendes succeeds brilliantly in showing the futility of armed combat without actually depicting it and, eliciting outstanding performances from all in the troop, exposes the unhealing emotional scars that are inicted on the universal soldier. Testosterone pumped and primed by a thumping soundtrack, this is no chick ick, but don’t be scared of that. John Campbell

JOYEUX NOEL Director Christian Carion’s soldiers are typical of the waris-hell genre. They are pawns of unimpeachable masters, whereas Jarhead’s wild bunch embrace their culture of violence and are not absolved of the consequences. Today’s is a different world from when French, Scots and Germans laid down their guns to carouse and play footy on Christmas Eve, 1914. The catalyst is provided by a German private who is also an opera singer and – stretching credibility to the nth – his soprano girlfriend. Their Nelson Eddy/Jeanette MacDonald love interest is horribly squelchy and they both make a hash of their miming, but other characters are more believable, especially the ofďŹ cers from the three camps and the British priest whose hateful sermon delivered when hostilities are resumed echoes the tripe we still hear. It’s a polished production that forcibly asks a noble question – what if they gave a war and nobody came? But for a desensitised and cynical western audience there is something of the boy-scout in its tone that smells of fromage. Though sweet the ideal and factual the events, it is the reality of Jarhead that provokes a deeper if grudging sympathy. John Campbell

Today’s the birthday of German philosopher Schopenhauer, who considered the human race unutterably stupid. While evidence suggests he might be right, saying so won’t be the go this week. With everyone extra sensitive, the stars are suggesting diplomatic inexactitude‌ ARIES: Aries always do their best, but when you start feeling that’s not being appreciated the bottom lip goes pouty and you get resentful. Trust that you’re loved this week and if acknowledgment and encouragement are what you need, ask and you’ll receive. TAURUS: Whirlwind Aquarius blew certain things apart, now Piscean influences continue dismantling them – and that’s a good thing. Yeah right, you’re thinking. Why, exactly? Because Taurans are builders and this process is rebuilding guess who on a sounder, more enduring level.

GEMINI: Mars has moved into Gemini and immediately started working on your behalf bringing to a head a situation that, ready or not, is ripe for change. Pushing the ruddy trouble button you might think, but with the wisdom of hindsight you’ll soon see why it was necessary.

SCORPIO: It’s not easy being objective about your own work. If criticism comes your way this week, rather than focus on the feeling attacked/planning payback response, try seeing your critic’s point of view – even though you vehemently disagree there’s still something to learn.

CANCER: The give and take in your relationship with work, a person or place has got out of whack. Either you’ve put in too much without getting a reasonable return, or expected more than the situation is able to give. This week that balance needs to be restored. Or at least re-examined.

SAGITTARIUS: Your emotional responses are strong right now, but don’t jump into something impulsively without considering the consequences. Step back. Think about it. Listen to what other people have to say, especially those you’re instinctively opposed to.

LEO: Leos suck up support and encouragement like wettex – but has your passion du jour been causing you to neglect certain other persons who are now voicing their displeasure? Or is it a neglected part of yourself that needs attention? Apply the Leo charm balm this week and make amends. VIRGO: Being the most flexible of the earth signs you’ll enjoy this week’s novel sensations, interpersonal nurturing, outrageous flirting and artistic improvisations. That’s if you can get your head around it being illogical, inconsistent and inexplicably slippery to get a grip on. LIBRA: This week’s balancing act is between your strong feelings and someone’s determined ideas. Or their intense emotions and your lack of interest. Or any combination of the above. If present healing energies unearth a deep seated issue, you’re strongly supported in dealing with it.

CAPRICORN: Though they’re dazzlingly apparent to others, it’s hard to find our own blind spots. This week offers a glimpse of yours if you’re interested – and turns you into a human satellite dish receiving so much information you’ll need extra sleep for your subconscious to process it.

(/4%, "25.37)#+ 0H " ĂŠEĂŠ/1 -

&2%%0//, / 1,- 9ĂŠĂ“ĂŽ Ăˆ\ĂŽä*

AQUARIUS: You’ll be a super soft touch for anyone wanting practical help, emotional support or sympathetic assistance this week. And it’s likely to be someone close to you who needs the most love and understanding. Maybe it’s you? Whatever, give whoever it is a jolly good nurturing.

")' -53)#

PISCES: Today’s birthday legend is George Washington, the US president who never told a lie – not the only thing you’ll have difficulty believing this week. If specific information’s bothering you, brainstorm with someone you trust and do personal research till you’re satisfied.

CHEF HAD had his ingenious way with a phalanx of echidna, roasted and laid on a bed of sequestered couscous and accompanied by a side dish of asparagus and fennel lightly drizzled with a secret hollandaise his grandmother had winkled out of the great chef Gaston Fromage, who had been Mata Hari’s childhood sweetheart. Fromage had passed the secret recipe to said grandmother on his deathbed, along with the collection of antique nipple clamps from which they had derived so much pleasure. Once the valets had issued the spine forceps so necessary for the more difďŹ cult parts of the monotreme, they poured each of us a glass of the 1974 Cyclone Havoc Cabernet Viognier, particularly pleasing for its afterpalate of disturbed sand and shattered mansions. ‘To Mr Packer,’ said Bosworth, raising a glass to the barely departed gambling magnate. For a loan of ten million, Bosworth once had the pleasure of cleaning Mr Packer’s polo footwear with the bottled spittle of Kings College choirboys. This was before the Bosworth ship came in, as it were, and he made a killing in selling bribery techniques and small arms to the Australian Wheat Board. We all joined in the toast, some more enthusiastically than others, some grudgingly admitting to themselves that if it weren’t for Mr Packer’s celebrated negotiation skills – which did not involve the rack and bastinado as often as commonly supposed – they would not have been fully blooded in the ways of rampant capitalism, or known how to acquire a television network for a song from the ďŹ scally confused. ‘It was ďŹ tting the people paid for his memorial service,’ said Abbotsleigh, dropping a spine painfully into his lap. ‘The family was distressed enough as it was without having to deal with such matters. Every time I see the common chaps arrayed in front of poker machines, their eyes gleaming from the reected light of digitally spinning fruit, I remember how much joy Mr Packer brought into the world.’ ‘Yes,’ said Tosser Digby, insouciantly pegging with his 9mm Beretta a dachshund 200 metres away in the trufe paddock, ‘one must not also forget the joy of being able to watch highly paid sportspeo-

ple with foul mouths and unhealthy mobile phone habits niggle the unfortunate from other continents in a game which I believe was once known as cricket.’ By this time the absinthe ice cream, garnished with Kylie Minogue’s Moulin Rouge Shredded Chocolate and novelty mints moulded from Condoleeza Rice’s left nipple, had arrived. The valets also set to stoking up the hookahs. ‘It was wonderful to see Russell Crowe there,’ said Bosworth, ‘and that other great Australian, Tom Cruise.’ ‘There is nothing like the presence of great actors to lend dignity to a service,’ said Frogmorton, who trod the boards as a youth but regretfully never played the Dane. ‘Mr Crowe epitomises the common Aussie millionaire who likes to play the gladiator now and then and Mr Cruise’s connection with Scientology, which brought the manipulation of tin cans to new heights, resonates with the seeker of truth in all of us.’ ‘Went looking for truth once,’ mumbled Abbotsleigh, the contents of his hookah beginning to take effect, ‘found instead Mrs Lascivia Throttleneck’s Palace of Water Sports. Close enough, I thought.’ ‘Do you think it is all dark after death, as Mr Packer proposed?’ Frogmorton inquired of the assembled company. ‘Not at all,’ said Tosser Digby. ‘I was once hired by a Tanzanian shaman to help hunt down a particularly vexatious demon in the afterlife and I can assure you it is a world rich in colour and activity, and best of all – ‘ ‘Yes?’ interrupted an anxious Frogmorton. ‘ – there is food.’

Lives of the well preserved

Mullumbimby

Vi c t o r i a C o s f o rd IN THE relentless adherence to the mantra that fresh is best, it is easy to overlook some long-life ingredients whose contribution to a dish may be compelling. I will never forget a pasta sauce I once made based on the ransacking of a bachelor friend’s pantry: I found ancient tins of sardines, peeled tomatoes and capers, and from the bottom of his tragic fridge scraped up half a oppy carrot and an onion only just beginning to gently sprout. I chopped and heated and stirred and simmered, sloshed in some wine from the glass I was sipping, icked in a handful of sultanas I noticed at the last moment and toppled just-cooked pasta through the whole shebang. It was actually fantastic. The thing is, many of the great classical recipes were borne out of a frugal gesture of ingredients, or from ingredients which were characterised by their keeping qualities: meat, ďŹ sh and poultry whose lives were extended via smoking (the experiment failed with humans); fruits and vegetables whose lives were extended (and avours intensiďŹ ed) by dehydrating, by pickling or by covering in a preserving solution. Curing meat and ďŹ sh in salt has been done for centuries and it is amusing the way this has become almost glamorous – the hostess presenting her gravlaxed salmon rosily pert still on its bed of rock salt; the esh of pigs (its thighs, its cheeks) which has been salted thickly for a month then hung for a year in a coating of garlic and herbs and ending up draped, sliced-wafer-thin, around crescents of rockmelon... The salt ‘cooking’, and concentrating whatever avour was there. I love using both smoked trout and smoked chicken, generally in salads and pasta sauces. These are great standbys to have on hand for precisely those meals for which you have not managed to remember fresh chicken, ďŹ sh or meat, and which do not even require a battery of other ingredients to form a delicious dish. Tinned tomatoes, capers, chickpeas, olives, sun-dried tomatoes and sun-dried capsicum, long-life cream, dried chillies, an enduring cheese like fetta, nuts, dried fruits, rice and pasta are all worth keeping a regular supply of, so that you may not only always eat, but always eat well. Byron Bay’s now-defunct Pasta Roma used to serve a gorgeous

100 mls extra virgin olive oil 50 mls lemon juice 1 tblspn red wine vinegar 1 clove garlic, ďŹ nely chopped 2 tblspns chopped mint 1/4 cup chopped parsley 1/4 cup ďŹ nely sliced green onions 1 stalk celery, ďŹ nely chopped 1 tblspn capers Salt and pepper Whisk the oil, lemon juice, vinegar and garlic together then stir through all the other ingredients.

years ago. Fiendy was famed for some spectacular stunts he could perform using only a scrotum and a squeeze. This is truly men’s business at its best. When we all gather together as a community and do something we have been dying to do for years: laugh at the penis. And this time it’s with permission. In case you are worried about seeing something rather small from up the back, the boys have screens, so their members are on the big screen. You won’t miss a dick trick. Puppetry of the Penis. All original Cast at the Hotel Great Northern on Thursday. Tix at the venue.

Of course, for those more visual, and less verbal, there’s always the art exhibition. Pictures of women talking!

LIVEMUSIC since the birth of our beloved Echo, and 20 years since Kangaroo Moon ďŹ rst hopped into the spotlight. After a long absence, the band has returned to give friends and fans a rare opportunity to gyrate to an old favourite. Their music weaves many strands from world, rock, folk and dance, brimming over with both acoustic and electronic inuences. It all combines to create a funky, trance-y, richly melodic and danceable sound. As one UK newspaper put it – ‘electro squelchy psychedelic funk meets ethno celto folk.’ 2006 sees the Australian line-up regrouping for 2 shows only. Mark Robson (keyboards, vocals, whistles and didge), Mat Ledgar (drums), Maurice Cernigoi (bass), and Steve Berry (guitar). Kangaroo Moon will be playing at The Channon Hall on Saturday and Coorabell Hall on Friday 3 March. Doors open at 7:30 pm, wild dancing soon to follow! Tasty food available.

This is the ďŹ rst time Zuma And Mario have done a gig together for quite a while. The old guard are back to a new millennium.

The three wise nerds are back. Gatesy, Scod and Yon are the holy trio that are Tripod. More stylish than a ping pong champion, more sex appeal than a middle aged man in a comic shop, Tripod are out to show you just why they took home the Aria last year for their collection of hits that aired on the Skithouse. With hits like Boobs, and a love song which declares that instead of getting your name tattooed, I’ll just get the alphabet and circle the relevant letters...these guys ask questions like : ‘If the barmaid doesn’t like me then why does she keep bringing me drinks?’ Funny for the whole family!! Tripod at the Bangalow A&I Hall on Thursday. Tix $25 at Barebones 6687 1393, or at the door. Show at 8pm.

Last summer he toured the UK playing stages at some of the world’s best festivals: Glastonbury and Edinburgh and in the world famous Spiegel Tent. As a multi-instrumentalist, he does human beat-boxing (vocal drums), plays 12 string guitar like it’s a funky sitar, 6 string guitar and lapsteel slide at the same time as the slide didge and stomp box.

ii ART: ENDANGERED SPECIES Sharon Muir has painted some fabulously detailed and beautiful works for her latest exhibition ‘Caldera Shields’. Her pastel drawings capture the distinctive colour, texture and character of 11 threatened plants and animals in the caldera. Expressed in the shape of shields, they also embody the urgent need to protect species like Fleay’s Barred Frog and the Davidson’s Plum before it’s too late. Sharon says: ‘I’ve never chained myself to a tree, so this is the ďŹ rst time I’ve made a public statement about the environment. Many Australian ora and fauna are found nowhere else on Earth. I hope this work will raise awareness of the species we are losing at an alarming rate.’ The exhibition opening is This Friday from 6.30pm at the Tweed River Art Gallery.

area. NRMA’s new Country Petrol Watch website monitors more than 300 service stations in country NSW and lists the average petrol price in most major regional towns. It will inform motorists on the cheapest place to buy petrol and provide a benchmark for how much motorists should be paying in each town. It will also help motorists travelling across the state to identify which towns are offering the cheapest petrol. NRMA local director Wendy Machin said the new website was a practical way of providing north coast motorists with some relief at the bowser. Motorists on the north coast can access the new website at http://www.mynrma.com.au/countryprices. asp.

Tony Zahra, owner of James Hardware in Mullumbimby, was shocked when his business became the subject of a break in recently. During the early hours of February 8 a single perpetrator driving a white station wagon broke into the hardware store and stole about $7000 worth of power tools. ‘There’s no doubt that this person was a professional,’ said Mr Zahra. ‘All the tools were well known brand names including Makita, Hitachi and Ryobi, and were in their boxes, so if anyone is offered any suspicious deals, please let the police know.’ Unfortunately, the alarm didn’t go off, however the

Broadcasting inquiry The Community Broadcasting Association of Australia welcomes the announcement of a new House of Representatives inquiry into ‘ways to support a vibrant and diverse network of community broadcasters’. President of the CBAA, Paul Terdich, said, ‘We have had a good, ongoing dialogue with government over the past few years and I think they’re really starting to understand the true value to the community and the social and economic beneďŹ ts provided by the sector. An increase in Government funding in 2004 to support accredited training and transmission infrastructure certainly indicates this. But the inquiry allows us the opportunity to really demonstrate in detail what this sector is doing, where we believe it’s heading and to identify the best opportunities for further development.’ For full details of the inquiry and how to make a public submission, visit www. aph.gov.au/house/committee/cita/community_broadcasting/index.htm.

SCOPE buys defibrillator for Ballina hospital

Brunswick world day of prayer

Held at Our Lady Of Lourdes Catholic Church on March 3 at 10am, Anne Mahera will speak on Life in South Africa, as a child and now. The children’s choir from Brunswick Heads School will sing, please come and join in a Mullum world day world wave of prayer in these troubled times and share of prayer morning tea with our local Will be celebrated at St Martins Birth and Beyond Church, Stuart Street, Mul- Birth and Beyond is open to Christian churches.

SCOPE members and President Leonie Dahl presents Anthony Steel of the of Ballina Satellite Chemo Unit with the cheque that helped buy the defibrillator. Tanya Woolley, daughter of Joan Higgs is also present.

Ballina based fund-raising group SCOPE (Service Community involvement Opportunity Purpose & Education) has just presented Ballina Hospital with a new defibrillator. When SCOPE member and palliative care worker Joan Higgs was diagnosed with cancer in 2003, fellow SCOPE members focused their fund-raising with her in mind. A total of $16,950 was raised throughout Joan’s illness and up until her death in May last year. An additional $1,145.00 was donated by family and friends at her funeral in lieu of flowers. Following discussions with the Ballina Chemo Unit and Ballina Hospital, it was decided that both the Chemo Unit and the

Potters workshop Indigenous ceramicists of Central Australia ‘The Hermannsburg Potters’ will present a two day workshop at the Wheel of Life Pottery Studio in Brunswick Heads on March 4 and 5. Bookings: Wheel of Life, Sally Bull & Luci Vanstone, on 6685 1442. Places are limited. Hermannsburg, 125 kilometres west of Alice Springs, was established as a mission in 1897. Since this time the Aranda Indigenous Artists have enjoyed a rich and dynamic relationship with contemporary art. This has included the vibrant and unforgettable images of their desert country painted by Albert Namitjira and his sons. The artists exhibit their work globally and enjoy a national and international reputation. See more at www.hermannsburgpotters. com.au.

Vandals at work Byron Bay Police are appealing for witnesses to the deliberate damaging of four cars outside the Beach Hotel around 1am on Sunday morning. ‘About three or four males ran across the roofs of four motor vehicles,’ said

Hospital would greatly benefit from the purchase of a defibrillator, a machine enabling them to respond swiftly in the event of a patient in cardiac arrest. The Lismore cancer unit opened the Ballina Satellite Chemotherapy Unit, situated within Ballina Hospital in February 2005 to enable Ballina and surrounding residents to be treated with chemotherapy closer to home. Joan Higgs was a much loved lady who made a big difference to many lives while fit and well, while terminally ill and even now on her departure. She would have been wrapt to know that one last article about her good deeds and those of the SCOPE gals will make her scrapbook.

Inspector Owen King. ‘Nobody reported it to us at the time or spoke to the kids so by the time it was reported to us the offenders got away. If anyone sees anything like this they should report it to police straight away.’ The action caused considerable damage caving in the roofs of the vehicles involved. Anyone who witnessed the event is asked to call Byron Bay Police. Examination of closed circuit television (CCTV) footage has not provided any clues to the identity of writers of racist slogans on several Byron Bay businesses recently. Anti-Japanese slogans were daubed on seven premises in the town centre and police had hoped CCTV surveillance might have captured the perpetrators on film. It seems the daubers were out of camera range and their identity and motivation remains a mystery.

Psychodrama training ‘Psychodrama is the drama of the soul. It is the theatre of truth,’ says psychodrama trainer Diz Synnot. ‘The psychodrama method developed by Dr Moreno is based on the idea of highly motivated human beings acting

the aspirations and deepest concerns of society or small groups in which we live.’ Diz Synnot will be conducting core Psychodrama Training in Byron this year, details of which are available at www.anzpa.org/ qtip.pdf. ‘I keep doing psychodrama work because it is the best thing when we overcome our self defeating patterns. My heart sings when dramatic enactments release the juice of life in us all.’

New strip for Byron RU Byron Bay Rugby Union is entering its 103rd year in a new competition, with a new royal blue and white harlequin strip, a new vision and new drive. Finishing second in last year’s third grade competition, the Bay has been placed in the Village competition in line with new zone policies. Despite this, the club intends to dominate the expanded Village format to prove to the zone that we belong in the mainstream competition. The return of coach Warren Fisher and most of last year’s squad along with some great new talent will go a long way

to achieving this goal. The club also has a new patron, former Kangaroo Kevin Junee, who has graciously accepted the position. We look forward to seeing Kevin at games and functions where we can all learn from his experience. With a successful sign on day on Saturday and training starting this Wednesday at the rec grounds at 6pm, the club looks forward to showcasing its strength beginning with trials in late March. Anyone who would like to play for, sponsor or support the club contact Matt Alexander on 0437 656 984.

Saying something stupid is a sport This is just for a laugh; these quotes are from various highly intelligent and articulate sporting commentators over the years, exemplifying their talent for saying incredibly stupid things on telly. ‘This is Gregoriava from Bulgaria... I saw her snatch this morning and it was amazing.’ Pat Glenn, weight lifting. ‘He’s pulling him off! The Spanish manager is pulling

his captain off!’ George Hamilton, soccer. ‘The lead car is absolutely unique, except for the one behind it which is identical.’ Murray Walker. ‘Sure there have been injuries and deaths in boxing – but none of them serious.’ Alan Minter. ‘I owe a lot to my parents, especially my mother and father.’ Greg Norman. ‘He dribbles a lot and the

opposition don’t like it – you can see it all over their faces.’ Ron Atkinson, soccer. ‘Well either side could win it, or it could be a draw.’ Ron Atkinson again. ‘I’ve never had major knee surgery on any other part of my body.’ Winston Bennett. ‘If history repeats itself, I should think we can expect the same thing again.’ Terry Venables. Impressive, aren’t they?

Sports Roundup with Alex McAuley Craig Hill makes the semi ďŹ nals of an international veterans’ tournament Byron Bay tennis coach Craig Hill took part in the Australia/New Zealand veterans championships held in New Zealand recently. Competing in the over 35s division in both singles and doubles, Craig got through to the quarter ďŹ nals in the singles and the semi ďŹ nals in the doubles. Despite progressing as far as he did in the singles, Craig was a little disappointed with his performance. ‘I didn’t win the important points,’ said Craig. ‘I had three breaks of serve in the ďŹ rst set only to come out and lose my service game straight after. I was also up a service a break

in the second set.’ Craig blames lack of match play for his ‘lack of mental toughness’ and plans to rectify the problem by travelling more to compete in tougher competitions. He will start by taking part in the Victorian veterans championships in March which will earn him world ranking points. After being ranked at 81 last year, he hopes to improve on that this year. His doubles performance, however, was a different matter altogether, and Craig was delighted with how he and his partner played in the semi ďŹ nal. As an unseeded pair, they faced the number one

seeded pair at took the match to three sets, even managing to break serve a few times in the third set. ‘They won the ďŹ nal easily,’ said Craig, ‘So we did really well to stretch them as much as we did.’ Byron Bay tennis coach Craig Hill (right) enjoyed a mixed performance at the recent Australa/ New Zealand veterns championships. Despite being disappointed with his singles match, Craig was very happy with his doubles performance and is now looking for the opportunity to improve his mental toughness, which he feels is the weakness in his game, by getting more match practice.

Our photographer Jeff ‘Soft Focus’ Dawson produces far too many images to accommodate in our paper paper, so he has hung his ďŹ rst exhibition in cyberspace at http:// photocompli.echo.net.au – it took only 20 years. Some of you might not know that the ubiquitous Jeff also takes on assignments for the major media such as SMH. â– â– â– â– Following the January 4 screening on Network Ten of excerpts from In Plane Site, local ďŹ lmmaker Christopher McIlrath was invited as a 9/11 expert on to an Asian TV panel show with 830,000 cable and TV audience of English speakers in Hong Kong and China plus a live worldwide web audience. He says this has also triggered sales of hundreds of sets of his updated DVDs I’m Feeling Seditious and Between Iraq and A Hard Place through www.mcďŹ lms.cx. â– â– â– â– What did you think of New Years Eve in Byron Bay? Council has called a public meeting to review last year’s event on Wednesday, February 22 at 6pm in the training rooms in Bayshore Drive. Do you favour the new low key look or want to bring back party central? Community feedback is needed to plan this year’s celebrations, so come along and have your say. â– â– â– â– It used to be the established protocol that the local state MP of whatever political persuasion would get to release news of funding to local bodies. Now it seems in the leadup to the election the state Labor government is trying to squeeze Nationals MP Don Page out of the act. Labor’s ‘duty MLC’ for the north coast Amanda Fazio was up last week handing out certiďŹ cates and we had the

absurd situation of Tweed MP Neville Newell announcing further funding for Mullum High when it’s not even in his electorate. Backlash has no great compassion for the Nats but it’s pretty poor form when the person voted in by the electorate doesn’t get to be the bearer of relevant news. â– â– â– â– Kerry Packer: a lovely chap of course without a mean bone in his body, but a state funeral? Was he truly great or just obscenely rich? â– â– â– â– Rous Water gave us the wrong phone number to call to sign up for its tours of regional water systems covered in the news pages last week. The correct number is 6621 8055. Byron area tours start on March 29 at Ocean Shores – be sure to book in advance. â– â– â– â– The oleaginous Abbott provides $60m so you can enjoy church-based Medicare counselling against abortion. Pity you can’t get Medicarefunded counsel for churchbased child sex abuse. â– â– â– â– Marc Ecko’s Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure, was refused classiďŹ cation by the Federal Government’s doddery ClassiďŹ cation Review Board last week. What is this? A hardcore splatter ick? No, ironically it’s a video game about street-smart graffiti artists led by a character called Trane outwitting a tyrannous government that prohibits free speech. If you have no time for tyranny why not bypass the thought police? Yes, we suggest breaking a stupid law. Ecko’s new work comes on Play Station 2, costs US$50, has an M (adults only) US rating and we leave it to you to google it for mail order outlets. Trane rules, OK!
