Becton’s 800 tourist resort goes on display Lesley Patterson Becton’s revised vision for its North Beach site in Byron Bay has a very Casuarina Beach feel to it. Pressured by Byron Shire Council to disclose plans for the entire site, Becton’s multi volume development application (DA) reveals a 431 bed tourist resort in an architectural style reminiscent of our northern neighbour, Casuarina Beach. The Becton DA is on public exhibition from March 3 to April 13. While you can view the weighty document at Council’s Mullumbimby offices and the Byron Bay library, the issue has been taken out of Council’s hands and it is to the Department of Planning that submissions will be sent and ultimately the decision made. Stage one of the DA confirms what we already knew, that a 117 unit tourist resort complete with a village centre (health spa, resort offices, cafe, bike store etc) is planned

for the central part of the site. Appealing presumably to the community’s desire to reclaim the ‘wholesome’ tourist market, the DA says the resort will be family oriented and contain a mix of hotel units and townhouses. The emphasis though is squarely on townhouses with over 100 two and three bedroom townhouses. What we didn’t know about were the details of stage two, which contains a further 57 two and three bedroom units or an additional 141 bedrooms. To put this in perspective, compare it to the Byron at Byron Resort which when complete will have a total of 90 bedrooms. There is a slight snag for the stage two plans in that the area is constrained by bushfire risk. However, the DA states rather optimistically that Becton doesn’t intend to lodge a DA until ‘the Bushfire Planning Guidelines have been revised

or amended to allow for tourist development’. Talking of amending guidelines, last year Byron Shire Council, in consultation with the community, came up with its own view of the amount and style of development that the Becton site could bear. Called a Development Control Plan or DCP, it stipulated a limit of 250 bedrooms. Stage one exceeds that by about 40 bedrooms, and combined with stage two the resort would contain a total of 431 bedrooms which equates to about 860 people at full capacity. In an amazing coincidence, last week the Minister for Planning (that’s the same guy who will be determining the Becton DA) introduced a bill into parliament which among other things allows him to over turn DCP’s already produced by councils. Beacon’s Dailan Pugh believes this is no coincidence.

She has also lived in Sydney where she completed a postgraduate degree in communications at UTS, so she is familiar with Australian culture. Ayu is thoroughly enjoying the experience of teaching at Mullum High, and has been impressed by the students’

eagerness to learn. She has been surprised, however, by the difference between Indonesian and Australian high school students. ‘I never thought Australian high school students would be so different from Indonesian ones,’ said Ayu. ‘In Indonesia, the children are much more disciplined, so I find it a challenge to keep the continued on page 2

Fine print foul-up for Byron LEP

What we might expect if Becton’s North Beach project goes ahead, pictured above, an artist’s impression of the tourist resort’s ‘village centre’.

Byron Shire Council appears to have shot itself in the foot over the document which dictates future development in Byron Bay and Suffolk Park, the draft LEP (Local Environment Plan). Led by the Holiday Letting Organisation and supported by some business sectors, opposition to the draft LEP has been building over the past few weeks, with calls for an extension to the public exhibition period and

talks of a public hearing. Byron Shire Mayor Jan Barham admitted during last Tuesday’s Council meeting that there are mistakes in the draft document, which is on public exhibition until March 17, and suggested that the LEP be withdrawn from exhibition to correct those errors. The suggestion was later ruled out of order when Council staff pointed out it concerned a resolution currently in force.

Cr Barham told The Echo that she was not aware of the errors when the LEP was exhibited. ‘They might be viewed as inconsequential but include some minor technical changes that may change the intent of the LEP. Some of the mistakes relate to holiday letting, environment protection areas and some issues around density and development potential’. continued on page 2

‘Some of the issues affect private land to a degree that could constitute a challenge. The important point is we have had a history of LEPs being challenged. I moved in June that we had all the legal checks done before the LEP went out on exhibition contrary to staff advice that we exhibit it at the same time as getting the legal checks done. ‘Since then people have highlighted mistakes.

However, on the positive side, students here have the freedom to express themselves and their opinions in class which Indonesian students don’t.’ Ms Keyte explained that she has targeted Year 8 for this program to offer continuity of learning. ‘Currently, Indonesian is compulsory for Year 7 students at Mullum High, but is not offered again until Year 9 as an elective subject,’ said Ms Keyte. ‘I have organised a series of

‘The clear message that he sends to the Byron community is that Minister [for Planning] Sartor has apparently already made his mind up to override Council’s DCP for the Becton site. The only certainty it provides to the community is that no matter what they do to regulate development, the NSW ALP is prepared to ride roughshod over them to give developers what they want,’ Mr Pugh said.

sure the document is watertight. It should have had the closest scrutiny possible to ensure we did not have the technical challenges.’ According to Cr Barham the exhibition period will be allowed to continue, then Council staff will prepare a report on the submissions received. ‘Councillors will then have to resolve what amendments to make and we will have to make a decision whether the changes mean the LEP has to be re-exhibited,’ she said. workshops for interestedYear 8 students who may wish to continue with Indonesian in Year 9 so that they don’t lose their skills.’ Ayu is delighted to be involved in the program and is very impressed by Ms Keyte’s knowledge of the language and culture, as well as the school’s excellent resources.‘Linda has planned the program really well and I’m really enjoying it,’ said Ayu. ‘I have to return to Indonesia as I’m on a contract with IALF, but if I ever get the opportunity to come back I’ll grab it.’

he couldn’t elaborate, saying, ‘the motel is further down the track’. Despite the history of animosity between Byron Shire Council and Becton, the two parties have been talking of late. It appears one area of common ground that has emerged is the provision of a 400 seat conference centre as part of stage three. Simon Stockfeld points out that the current zoning does not allow for a conference centre but that ‘the draft LEP provides for conference centres in that zone’. The good news in the DA is that Becton is planning to turn over 58 hectares of the

site to the community for environmental protection and undertake a fair amount of rehabilitation work. While this is a great gesture, it should be said that most of that land is protected wetlands and not zoned for development. Asked about the approval process after exhibition, Simon Stockfeld said ‘the Department of Planning will consider all submissions from the public and government agencies then they will go through a process of approval or approval with conditions. ‘We are expecting a decision around the middle of this year.’ If you get along to view

the DA don’t be fazed by the seven volumes of literature. Head straight to the State of Environment Effects which details the development proposals then if you’ve still got some energy start on the reference documents. Alternatively you could check out Becton’s website at www.northbeachbyron. com.au. Remember submissions must be sent to the Director, Urban Assessments, Department of Planning, GPO Box 39, Sydney 2001 quoting DA 10-02-2006 and not to Byron Shire Council. Q Comment, page 8

Tidy Towns ticked off by trashing Alex McAuley The members of Mullumbimby’s Tidy Towns committee are getting fed up. All three of them. The trio, ably led by Elaine Robinson, is putting in a huge effort to maintain the areas of garden they have planted and cultivated in public areas of Mullumbimby but are fighting an uphill battle. The reason? Vandalism. ‘The large garden bed near the Mullumbimby CoOp has been vandalised twice now: once before Christmas and once a couple of weeks ago,’ said Elaine. ‘They’ve hacked branches off the trees and stamped on the geraniums; they’ll recover eventually, but what really upsets me is that they’ve stamped down the big Yuccas (or Agaves). ‘Once the centre of these plants has been broken then they never recover. It’s so disheartening; it takes such a long time to get the gardens looking good and no time at all to destroy them.’ Elaine is also mourning the decline in the membership numbers of the Tidy Towns committee which was once a band of about 20 volunteers when it started in 1981. ‘We entered the Tidy Towns competition every

year and won our category in 1982,’ said Elaine. ‘In fact we won something every year for about a nine or ten year period.’ The committee, which is a subcommittee of Byron Shire Council which provides them with plants and mulch etc, was behind the planting of Palm Park, the maintenance of Heritage Park, the planting of the gar-

den beds on the main street and at the Post Office, and the building of the waterfall at Civic Park. That Elaine and her colleagues are responsible for the beautification of Mullumbimby is in no doubt; what is in doubt is their ability to continue with their work when there are so few of them. ‘Most of our original

members are now too elderly to continue to work, have died or moved out of the area,’ said Elaine. ‘Unfortunately, no new members have stepped into their shoes.’ Elaine would love to hear from anybody who is interested in becoming involved in this very worthwhile cause and can be contacted on 6684 2627.

Doctors refuse to assist coroner in Schluter case The investigation into the cause of death of Disha Schluter of Mullumbimby last September is still ongoing. Michael Knock, Coroner at Lismore Local Court, explained that there is a number of reasons for the lengthy delay. ‘It is the duty of the coro-

« V > «> À

ner to determine the manner and cause of any death, and in a case where there is a possiblity of inappropriate medical procedures, then the Health Care Commission (HCC) becomes involved,’ said Mr Knock. ‘Some of the doctors involved in this particular case have refused to

provide statements to the HCC, and while they are entitled to do so in the short term, in the long term they will be obliged to provide those statements to the police. Should they refuse to provide them to the police, I can open an inquest and subpoena those statements.’

At this stage, Mr Knock is waiting for the police to finalise the investigation and is confident that the doctors involved will provide their statements so that he can make his finding, but unfortunately he does not anticipate any conclusion before the end of March at the earliest.

The Byron Youth Enterprise Centre was officially launched last Wednesday at the YAC centre in Byron Bay to an enthusiastic and warm crowd. The centre aims to assist young people in Byron Shire to obtain information, support, mentoring and training. It also aims to help generate enterprising projects that produce income and establish businesses. Launching the initiative, coordinator Di Mahoney said, ‘One of the key skills we all need to learn is to be enterprising... that is to use our imagination and our abilities to develop projects and businesses that fit our values and that spring from our passion’. The Byron Youth Enterprise Centre consists of a state-of-the-art Apple iMac studio suite that is accessible

Invitation to Awareness Retreat The retreat is 3-days of direct experience. It is a subtle process that explores the apparent paradoxes of one’s existence. It is an opportunity to come face to face with the essential nature of your self and the essential nature of being. It is an opportunity to allow the natural processes of the self, confronting its conditioned tendencies, obstructions, distractions and contradictions in the light of its inherent desire for freedom, love and union. It prompts nothing less than transformation from non-acceptance to acceptance, from distraction to a deeper sense of reality. It is a simple and kindly process, in which each person’s unfolding occurs in his or her own time. Yet it may well be one of the hardest experiences of your life. Although there is $50 charge for the two nights of accommodation at Samaya, the retreat itself is free of charge. Donations are gratefully accepted but are entirely voluntary and not expected. You need to bring your own bedding, and food to share. Booking is essential as the retreat is limited to 20 participants.

to local young people via a membership card system. Access to the support of experienced youth workers, enterprise mentors and facilitators is also available, along with hospitality and barista training. ‘Starting a new project or a business, however small and fledgling, can create a great sense of personal achievement,’ Mahoney said. ‘Hard work and know-how then enable a financial return to come. My role is to help young people find their dream, and then turn it into a reality that offers a financially viable pathway’.

Storm sweeps Shire

Friday’s weather forecast sounded disastrous. Abnormally high tides, rough seas, heavy rainfall and a low pressure system heading straight for the Northern Rivers which was described by one weather watcher as ‘technically a cyclone’. Much to the relief of residents, and local SES controller, Noel McIveney, the predicted recipe for disaster didn’t eventuate and the Shire escaped relatively lightly, although a Lennox Head man died in a car crash early on Saturday morning near Broken Head. Much to the delight of surfers the surf raged, but the high winds experienced further north stayed away and the very heavy rainfall experienced further south failed to materialise. According to the Bureau of Meteorology, Byron Bay’s Local author and illustrator Stephen Axelsen just scooped a presrain gauges measured tigious Aurealis award held at Brisbane’s South Bank last Saturday.

Wilfrid Street at Billinudgel experienced its normal flooding after heavy rain, but luckily didn’t enter any premises. Be prepared is the advice from the SES, who warn the wet season is not over yet. ‘The main thing is to clean leaves out of the gutters as this is where a lot of water can get in,’ said Mr McIveney. ‘When you hear the warnings put furniture up high and listen to the local radio stations for updates. The SES are in constant contact with radio stations.’ And drive carefully. One BMW driver learnt this lesson the hard way near Uncle Toms at Mullumbimby after driving too fast through water, skidding off the road and ending up in a ditch. Mr McIveney advises walking through water first to gauge its depth. If it’s not too deep then drive through slowly in first or second gear and keep going until you’re clear of the flood waters. Don’t forget to test the brakes afterwards. The weekend’s bad weather claimed the life of a 21 yearold Lennox Head man in a single motor vehicle crash at Broken Head on Saturday morning. About 3am, the man was driving his 2005 Mazda sedan south along Coast Road when he lost control of the vehicle which rolled a number of times and landed in a ditch. The crash was not reported to police until 2:47pm as the vehicle could not be seen by passing motorists. Emergency Services attended the scene, however the driver was already dead. Crash Investigation Police from Ballina also attended and will be preparing a report for the coroner.

Chamber boss puts views on local issues Hans Lovejoy Byron Bay Chamber of Commerce President Greg Owens has been an active member of this community for over four years as a solicitor, and has a close association with Byron, having grown up in Alstonville. In the past he has been involved with environmental campaigns, particularly ‘Save the Hinterland’, spearheaded by the Australian Conservation Foundation around 1990. The campaign aimed at preventing the development of Gold Coast hinterland as golf courses and urban sprawls. ‘I was very proud to be a part of that,’ he said ‘I was part of a great team that included over 20 local and national organisations.’ Being the mediator for the Chamber meetings has given him a pragmatic approach to both developers and conser-

vationists. ‘Having seen both sides, it’s fair to say that there needs to be more open dialogue and both parties need to give more ground.’ LEP – ‘This document is the most significant to emerge in years, and will affect the community and businesses for many years to

come. From the advice that our town planner has given us, and from our own observations, we are concerned with the lack of town infrastructure and and traffic management plans. We strongly urge that the social and economic consequences of the LEP be explored. The Chamber has requested to Council that our response be in May, to give it the time and scrutiny it deserves.’ Urban development – ‘I’m in favour of town residential development rather than urban sprawls. That’s not to say that I want high rises; it is appropriate for small towns to limit the size of buildings. The community seems to agree that there should be height restrictions. Central growth protects the hinterland.’ Tourism – ‘We are united about moving away from being a party town to one

that encourages families. A balance needs to be struck where owners of rental properties and communities can co-exist.’ Byron bypass – ‘Council’s proposed bypass will unfortunately put traffic through the heart of Byron [next to the Railway Hotel], rather than diverting it around the town. This makes no sense, and seems like a band-aid approach to what is a very simple solution: build the road to come out at Mitre 10 with a roundabout with parking there. That way trafďŹ c can continue to Suffolk.’ Bad press for Byron – ‘One of the chamber’s concerns is the obsession by the national media in highlighting the rougher side of the town – reports have been received that there has been a downturn in trade during the Christmas and New Year period.’

Petition lodged in favour of Byron brothel A recent petition lodged with Byron Shire Council shows strong support for the proposed development of a brothel in Byron Bay’s Industrial Estate. Despite early opposition to the application, mostly from residents at nearby Sunrise Beach, there is now evidence of a growing number of people who are in favour of the brothel. Ray Darney, Planning Director at Byron Shire Council, conďŹ rmed that a petition with 281 signatures had been lodged with Council, albeit after the display period, however he was not convinced that it would carry a great deal of weight. ‘The petition has been signed by people from all over the Shire who state that they have no objections to the proposed brothel,’ said Mr Darney. ‘What sort of weight it will carry is up to the Coun-

cillors, however Council generally gives consideration to written submissions giving planning reasons as to why a particular proposal should be approved or refused rather than a petition.’ Under state government planning policy, brothels are permitted in industrial zones, but not in residential or commercial zones. However, Mr Darney pointed out that a number of issues will need to be considered in relation to the proposed brothel in Byron Bay regarding its proximity to childcare, church and commercial facilities. ‘We are meeting with the proponents next week to discuss a number of points of social impact that were not adequately addressed in the original application,’ said Mr Darney. ‘In particular, we will be discussing the possible increase in crime that may

result from the approval of the application. It is likely that people would be encouraged to go into the industrial area at night who normally wouldn’t [should a brothel be built there] which may result in an increase in crime. Consideration also needs to be given to health issues and dr ug use which may arise.’ Mr Darney was of the opinion that the community had a ver y balanced approach to the proposal, with most people able to see both sides of the argument, especially considering the beneďŹ ts of a legal brothel over illegal street prostitution and the negative impacts that has on the community. The application was to go before Council this March, however problems with the on site efuent disposal have delayed the matter which will now be heard at the

council meeting on April 11. Earlier this year the Ewingsdale Progress Association and the Byron Bay Police registered their objections to the proposed brothel.

Local News Footbridge gets nod A cost blowout of over $250,000 has failed to derail plans for the Helen Street footbridge at South Golden Beach. Council had allocated $175,000 following initial estimates, however, engineering consultants have now revealed that the cost will be nearer to $430,000. For over ten years the local community has lobbied for a footbridge over the Capricornia Canal to provide pedestrian access to the beach. Maggie Brown, convenor of the footbridge project, has had to face more than the expected number of

Friends of the Koala is holding a basic training course on Saturday, March 11 from 9am to 4pm for people who want to get involved in helping koalas in the Northern Rivers region. The course covers topics such as basic koala care, food trees and diet, assessing a sick koala and koala rescue techniques. It’s a great opportunity to get involved with Friends of the Koala, a group which has worked on behalf of these

hurdles to get the bridge off the ground. ‘The delay and the length of time the project has been going means that the costs have increased,’ said Ms Brown. Last Tuesday the majority of councillors voted to go ahead with the three span steel truss bridge with timber deck, obtaining the extra cash from additional loan funds and development contributions from a new subdivision in Palmer Avenue, North Ocean Shores. ‘I’d like to thank the councillors for their support,’ said Ms Brown.

‘Circus is a craft that relies on trust, teamwork, discipline and creativity’, says Circus Yoga teacher Jo Hoy.

There would not be many Indian trained yoga practitioners who have also founded their own circus. Byron has at least one, Jo Hoy, the woman behind Circus Yoga. Jo was introduced to yoga in Byron about 12 years ago. A sprinter, a try-hard athlete who had never been taught to stretch, at the age of 25 she could hardly touch her knees. Her ďŹ rst experience of yoga was excruciating. However an invitation to work

with a Butoh dance company led her to undertake teacher training overseas in Goa. Jo stayed on to study for a year with K Patthabhi Jois in the Ashtanga Yoga tradition. Back in Australia, Jo discovered Vulcana, a Brisbanebased circus. ‘What I loved was the body conďŹ dence, the feeling that the body can change and achieve anything that you put your mind to,’ Jo says. ‘I was 26 when I started circus, and it was a big change for my body. It took

me three years to even do the ďŹ rst pullup! I had lived for so long as a vegan and a terrible cook that the journey to a strong body seemed to take forever’. A course with Bobbi and Simon from ‘Stillness in Action’ made Jo realise that one way to make a proactive change, and give something back to make a better community, was to encourage people to change their lives by developing a stronger body, and then to encourage them to take risks with that body. Jo gained community development funding to start a youth circus in West End Brisbane that she called Flipside. Almost ten years on, Flipside is a recognised circus training and performance company. Jo’s aim in Circus Yoga is to give children and adults a bit of the magic that can be gained from circus and yoga elements mixed together. Circus Yoga classes are held at the Arts Factory and are a blend of acrobalance, tumbling, handstands, aerials and juggling for all ages and abilities. For more information call Jo on 6687 5632.

John bares his heart for Trevor Vol 20 #41

March 7, 2006

Becton approval closer The long history of the former Club Med site (former Globetrotters caravan park etc) near Sunrise Beach is coming to some sort of resolution. After being stuffed around in the planning process since lodging a masterplan in July 2003, chiefly by the state government and their own indecision, Melbourne development company Becton has now lodged a development application (DA) for stage 1 of the site. With holiday letting the flavour of the month, Becton’s proposal will see 431 extra beds available to visitors. But wait, there’s more: another 141 bedrooms are planned for stage 2, which depends on bushfire planning guidelines being revised, a fact about which Becton seems optimistic. The danger for local residents passionate about the environmental values of the site and about the pressures on Byron Bay itself is in the fact the state government will determine the DA, not Council. There is no guarantee the state government’s values will match the desires of the local community. However the stage 1 proposal is not much bigger than the constraints of the current development control plan, so approval with those guidelines is likely. (In general, the planning minister’s new-found ability to override DCPs does not augur well for the integrity of the local planning process. Either you allow the third tier of government to get on with planning business or you dont; this constant moving of goalposts is an insult to the electors who have put their trust in councils to carry out their mandate.) The Becton DA is on public exhibition from March 3 to April 13. You can view the DA at Council’s Mullumbimby offices and the Byron Bay library; submissions must be sent to the Director, Urban Assessments, Department of Planning, GPO Box 39, Sydney 2001, quoting DA 10-022006. Have your say while you can.

ven John Howard’s own party president once described him as ‘mean and tricky’, and the polls show that most of us believe that Australia has become a meaner place under his leadership. But it has now been revealed that beneath that miserly and myopic exterior there dwells a generous and warm-hearted humanitarian, a seless altruist prepared to reach out and embrace the most disadvantaged in society. Take, for example, the case of Trevor. Trevor is what we now tactfully describe as differently abled. He is totally deaf in one ear and the other one isn’t too good either. He is a chronic amnesiac; he cannot remember where he has been, whom he has talked to, or what he talked about. From time to time he has kept diaries to jog his memory, but this doesn’t help much as poor Trevor constantly loses them. They are written out in longhand, since Trevor is unable to use a computer and is apparently incapable of learning how to handle even a word processor, let alone email. But even if Trevor managed to hang on to the diaries matters might not improve, since even when shown records of previous events at which he was undeniably present, he still can’t recall them. Actually there is some suggestion that he may be dyslexic, if not functionally illiterate: even when the words on the page are crystal clear to other observers, Trevor seems to have a lot of trouble grasping their meaning. To his credit he cheerfully admits that he is not exactly a rocket scientist; he sees himself more as a sort of ďŹ gurehead, someone who can do a bit of glad-handing while others get on with the real work. However, it is difďŹ cult to see him succeeding even in this limited

role given his propensity for unpredictable and anti-social exhibitionism: among other things he enjoys taking off his clothes and pointing pistols at people. He once stood as a political candidate, but was considered too silly even for National Party voters. He has spent most of his career farming, or in sinecures of various kinds provided for him by wellmeaning patrons, where he could do comparatively little damage – although this may have been partly because he usually forgot to show up for work, an oversight for which he was dismissed from at least one position. And of course,

and after a quick body search for concealed firearms our Trev was admitted, briefed, and provided with almost $1million in cash taken, incredibly, from Australia’s sparse foreign aid fund. Presumably the rationale was that Flugge was a foreign sort of name, and there was no doubt the loot would be used to aid him. All in all it’s a wonderful, warm-hearted story which shows how our Dear Leader has been misunderstood all these years. But now we know: not a lying rodent, but a living saint. When I gave a brief summary of this inspiring tale to a friend, he seemed lost for

All in all it’s a wonderful, warm-hearted story which shows how our Dear Leader has been misunderstood all these years. by Mungo MacCallum we are not counting the money wasted on his salary and not inconsiderable expenses. It is not an encouraging CV; if Trevor was a wheat crop (and coincidentally he has spent much of his life associated with wheat) you’d have to say he was quite a few tonnes short of the full silo. In the harsh world of economic rationalism, you’d also have to say that he was pretty much unemployable. But not for someone with the compassion of John Howard. When in need of a man to lead a delicate diplomatic mission to post-war Iraq with the task of rebuilding a bureaucracy dedicated to the continuation of Australia’s wheat trade, the Prime Minister did not hesitate: ‘Bring me Trevor Flugge,’ he snapped,

words for a moment, but then emotion got the better of him. ‘It’s enough to make you weep,’ he gasped. And when you think about it, he’s quite right. But seriously, folks – the whole Wheat for Weapons debacle is in the process of being reduced to a series of comforting fairy tales. When the heavies from the Australian Wheat Board solemnly tell the Cole Commission that they can’t recall meetings, conversations and events, we don’t believe them and we’re not meant to. We know they’re lying, but we can’t prove it, so we can’t charge them with perjury or fraud. When the public servants assure us that they took allegations of kickbacks very seriously and carried out the most painstaking investigations

before declaring the board innocent, again we know they actually either turned a blind eye or conspired in a coverup or both; we know they’re lying, but we can’t prove it so we can’t accuse them of dereliction of duty or corruption. And when John Howard and his ministers swear with their hands on the place where normal humans have their hearts that honestly, truly they knew nothing about it all, of course we don’t believe them: this is conďŹ rmed in the opinion polls. We know they’re lying, but we can’t prove it. Of course, we could always vote them out of ofďŹ ce. But we never have in the past, so why should they worry?

F

rom barefaced ďŹ ction to undeniable fact. Australia’s new chief scientist, Jim Peacock, is no wildeyed lefty; he is in favour of Australia adopting peaceful nuclear technology and is an advocate of genetically modiďŹ ed food production, so he can hardly be dismissed as being too politically correct. But Peacock also has absolutely no doubt about the reality of global warming and the human contribution to it.This is hardly surprising; the science has been there for many years and every new study conďŹ rms it. These days the magnitude of the problem is accepted by all but the lunatic fringe; unfortunately this fringe includes many fossil-fuel brained members of the Howard government and their at earth cheerleaders in the media. One can only hope that the opinion of their own chief scientist will carry more weight than that of the coal and oil lobbyists who have so successfully inďŹ ltrated the bureaucracy. But as we know, the Howard mob have always preferred ďŹ ction to fact.

Name the coast A recent suggestion by the Chairman of Tourism Australia, Tim Fischer, to brand the region ‘The Bold Coast’ was generally greeted with derisive laughter across the Shire. This region is well known for its scenic attractions, but also for its high unemployment rate. No, Mr and Mrs Bourgeoisie, not because of laziness, but due to the lack of job placement opportunities, lack of training and advantages, and the sense of hopelessness that long term unemployment can generate. Why not shake off the exacerbation of shame and blame that this conservative goverment’s Mutual Obligation policies have generated in the unemployed of the Shire by proudly declaring the region The Dole Coast? Let’s compulsorily require ‘The Dole Coast’ to appear on everyone in the Shire’s number plate – from capitalists to the unemployed alike! Caroline Gollan

Lessen depression Instead of all the depressed canaries meeting up to share their anxieties, why don’t we all join The Greens, or even just vote for The Greens! They seem to be the only group likely to provide us with some solutions, and give us some hope for the future, so there’ll be less reason to feel depressed. I’m feeling better already. Michele Grant

Holiday letting and the LEP Q It is insane that a town like Byron Bay which has marketed itself as a tourist destination is now trying to sabotage its main industry. A large percentage of this town relies on tourism to survive (myself included). If we take away hundreds of individual properties which will then supposedly free up homes for those who cannot ďŹ nd permanent accommodation (mind where those people are going to be able to work since jobs will be lost and businesses will suffer if not close down due to the lack of visitors to supply them with a reason to exist and funds to operate!) then how they will pay rents is another story. People, especially couples, do not always want to stay in multiple complexes, they want to be able to choose to stay in quiet, private, out of the way areas and not be subjected to the masses, the same goes for families wanting something special. We have community groups such as BRACE who are telling people not to put up with holiday letting in residential areas, yet some of these same people will happily go and stay in holiday houses in other Australian beachside destinations yet won’t allow this to go on in their home town Byron Bay! I have spoken to many local people regarding this subject and they are all very concerned regarding the impact this is going to have on their lives; we need tourism to sustain the reason we all moved here. Byron by no means is a cheap choice of lifestyle‌ the hippie years have gone and the town has progressed into a cosmopolitan destination with council rates as high as some city councils; as we all know ‘change is a part of life’ and Byron has evolved into a great north coast destination. It still has its community spirit, we can’t close the door and hope to turn the clocks back to the 1970s. Residents need to be proactive about how much this new LEP is going to impact on the big picture of life in Byron‌ some of us will not be able to afford to choose to live here any more. Ann-Maree Tomasetti

Byron Bay Q Byron attracts some of the nation’s hungriest investors who believe real estate’s prime purpose is proďŹ t. Purchase of residential property for maximum proďŹ t holiday renting is destroying the town once loved as a place to live. Our max return investors are doing very well out of

turning neighbourhoods into all night parties, depleting full time rental stock, and driving prices of residences and rents through the roof. Fewer ordinary people can either afford or even want to live in Byron’s once residential suburbs. In an attempt to address this demise, Council’s new LEP is proposing holiday letting be limited to eight weeks per year in areas zoned residential. The hungry lobby group of real estate agents and owners of holiday lets thinks this is preposterous. They tell us the town will die without them being able to maximise their returns. Lower rental returns may force some investors to sell off part of their property portfolios. Boo hoo! Council is truly dreaming, thinking they are going to be able to police the proposed eight weeks allowed for holiday letting. Council is not known for its ability to deal with compliance issues for the larger players of our Shire who engage QCs. The eight weeks is just the loophole our max return investors need and must not be included in the ďŹ nal LEP. It’s important that as many people as possible who share these concerns make submission on the draft LEP and say no to the eight week holiday letting residential loophole that is proposed for our hungry residential investors. Garry Scott

Myocum Q There is a hysteria and bias surrounding holiday letting. Maggie Luke is declaring the issue simple ‘black and white’ – the old ‘you’re either for us or against us’ ethos. The opponents of holiday letting are all ‘white and good’ and the renters and anyone associated with them all ‘black and evil’. According to these new neo cons, who probably moved here after a holiday, the streets will be paved with smoked salmon and sushi when we rid ourselves of holiday makers. They favour only those holiday makers who can afford to pay for Rae’s and Victoria’s, having declared houses in Watego’s and the Belongil off limits. As someone who once permanently let a house in Byron Bay I can assure you it was a commercial activity. As someone who lives near both a holiday let and permanent lets I know it is not black and white, especially a few years of party house tenants who live permanently next door. I look forward to Maggie taking up the cudgels in the Council and press against these illegal permanent lets and raucous residents with

equal vigour. I await her immediate solution for the job losses for the average income families who rely on letting to provide work and spend their income in Byron Bay, school their children here, donate to Greenpeace and the Wilderness Society and are part of this community. Sure, maybe they are not the elite forms of employment that the letting detractors seem to favour, but letting provides women in particular casual or part-time work between school hours in an area where childcare is either impossible to ďŹ nd or unaffordable. How do I know, simple, I am one of them.

anyone want to put up with this for eight weeks a year and then not know the rest of the year if the new tenants are family or just another paying group? This is not against tourism, most of the community in Byron Bay depends on tourism directly or indirectly, this is having a home to retreat to in peace at any time of the year.

always was, a total red herring, put up knowing it could not be built. (The LCAC would not allow a crossing this near the railway station.) Yet GM Westing is still trotting this out as ‘stage one of the full bypass’. The LEP is a blatant attempt to limit population, by refusing to plan and implement essential infrastructure. Cr Tabart admitted this publicly during a Chamber of Commerce meeting. (‘Now that the moratorium is finishing, we have to do something.’) Council’s leasing of the land beside Mitre 10 to the RSL for overflow parking is yet another indicator of their lack of will. One councillor even suggested that this land should be sold off! If the LEP is supposed to Basil Cameron give us a blueprint for where Goonengerry we will be in ten years’ time, God help us.

Possum Shoot. If we had commuter trains running on the line (up to 16 services a day), I would suggest that substantial numbers of visitors to Byron would have made a trip out to Mullumbimby. Local businesses would have been protected and takings may have been higher than would have been the case had there been no road closure. New business opportunities would be opened up for tour operators based in Mullumbimby to take visitors to Crystal Castle, Minyon Falls and other hinterland attractions. Excessive dependence on road-only transport systems is not good for our social, economic and environmental wellbeing.

Rough crossing

Your article ‘Rail crossing halts bypass plan’ would be good material for a Gilbert and Sullivan opera. The Level Crossing Advisory Committee (LCAC), sends representatives to meet with Council staff to discuss how cars are going to cross a railway line that is being allowed to rot! While it is painful to realise that our taxes and rates are being used to finance meetings like this, it does reveal how Byron is the victim of a public service farce. Our Council has absolutely no intention of giving long suffering residents any relief from the traffic chaos that is Byron’s CBD. (The bypass does not feature in the Draft LEP 2006.) The mini bypass is, and

Why is Council spraying? As advertised, Byron Shire Council will once again begin the wholesale spraying of our streets, sports fields, parks, bus shelters and roadsides with glyphosate (Roundup) which it considers to be less of a health risk than the weeds it wishes to control. Glyphosate products are a class of neurotoxic chemicals and the Australian Chemical Trauma Alliance (ACTA) has documented cases of children with ADD and autism exhibiting periods of severe behavioural problems (including violence) following the use of Roundup in residential areas. Health care professionals of the Alliance say that hospital admissions for asthma also increase. Symptoms attributed to Roundup exposure documented by a number of scientific journals and observed by doctors working in the field of environmental health

include: swollen or itchy eyes, blurred vision, swollen glands, sore throats, sinus pain, headaches, foggy head chronic fatigue, itchy rashes, cough, tight chest, palpitations, dizziness, feeling overemotional and irrational, muscle aches, joint pain, jaw clenching, digestive upsets, disrupted menstrual cycle and heavy bleeding. It especially affects people with chronic fatigue syndrome and multiple chemical sensitivity. The American Environmental Protection Agency says that it off-gases for a period of 100 days after it has been sprayed, breaking down into highly toxic substances. So I urge parents to be aware of the risks involved to your children’s health when using the local playgrounds and sports fields and even the risk involved while waiting to catch the school bus. There are alternative methods of weed control which

Council has been researching. To make sure these are implemented we need parents and concerned residents to add their voice to the over two thousand signatures asking for change already presented to Council. Council regulations allow for residents to place their names on a register so as not to have spraying happen directly in front of their properties, if they take responsibility for keeping weeds under control themselves which can be as safe as using a jug of boiling water. Many of the streets to be sprayed just have a few clumps of grass growing in pavements and drains and this would be an effective way of reducing the amount of spray drift about to hit our streets. It might also inspire Council to use commercially available heat treatments.

good at excuses!

Trouble at the Co-Op Q I’ve had to sign a release form to say that I will not say anything about my time at, nor my payout figure from, the Mullumbimby Rural Co-operative so... this letter is to formally acknowledge the wonderful people who were so supportive and kind to me during my brief time trying to work at the Co-op. Also the biggest thank you to the excellent floor staff and Veronica Guy, my director, who saw what was happening and supported me despite efforts to the contrary – your hearts are in the right place and you are damn good at your jobs. I look forward to catching up with you all in the real world as I continue to settle into this beautiful area. Kym Beaton

Q I want to thank all those people who know what has happened at the Mullumbimby Rural Co-op and who appreciated a female being appointed to the board of the Co-op and a female appointed as the general manager. I was a director for over Glenda Barber three years and last year I Byron Bay joined the Australian Insti-

tute of Company Directors at my cost and purchased the course notes to complete the Diploma for Company Directors. This course is offered to people who have a desire to understand current compliance issues and current responsibilities of company directors after the corporate failures in Australia and beyond. It is unfortunate indeed that the board of the Mullumbimby Rural Co-op received the information I was able to disseminate from my course with less than enthusiasm or interest. I resigned from the board on January 12, 2006, after having attended a meeting with a special agenda. That meeting turned into a vilification of me to the extent that I felt I had no recourse but to resign. I wasn’t wanted on that board. Females bring a different viewpoint to boards; the ‘old boys’ club’ seems not to accept other points of view, including proper equity for shareholders. Dr Helen Nugent, one of Australia’s top female directors, laments that female director numbers are decreasing rather than increasing on Australian boards. My own

Co-op experience overwhelmingly tells me that female shareholders are delighted that there was a female director and a female GM. However, we are both gone from the Co-op, not because we wanted to go but there is only so much a girl can bear. Nothing will change at the Co-op unless and until the owners, ie. the shareholders, become more aware and demand accountability from the board. I was appointed as the ‘token female’ after the annual general meeting in 2001 which saw a large number of nominations for directorships come in from the floor. The ‘outsiders’ were defeated and I am sorry to say that I was part of their defeat. I now wish it hadn’t been so. Five years on nothing has changed. The Co-op still lives in the fifties and is unable to address current business practice and management issues. The shareholders lose out. Again, thanks to everyone for your support. Maybe in the future, things may change... I’m not holding my breath. Veronica Guy

Letters ‘Option B ModiďŹ ed meets the requirements of the RTA Road Design Guidelines and RTA Road Safety Guidelines.’ ‘The Proposal provides markedly safer conditions for buses than currently exists.’ ‘Safety improvements and a reduction in the number of trafďŹ c accidents are anticipated as a result of the Proposal, and would reduce the risks involved with the transportation of dangerous goods.’ So we know the existing highway can be upgraded safely. They could start right now. And we come back to the question: Why do they now want a motorway? There are at least 18,000 of us who don’t.

posal. The following statements refer to Option B Modified, a proposal to upgrade the existing PaciďŹ c Highway which was abandoned when the RTA expanded their study area. They are from RTA publication RTA/Pub.04.166 ‘Submissions Report – PaciďŹ c Highway Upgrade – Bangalow to St Helena’ prepared in July, 2004, under the supervision of Shane Higgins, Project Manager. This report refers again and again to safety aspects of the proposal. It is very clear that the RTA were particularly anxious to dispel any concerns that their proposed upgrade would not meet safety standards. Among the statements made in the RTA report were these: ‘Completion of the Proposal is predicted to bring about a marked improvement in road safety over the existing conditions.’

Human problem

Watching a Shia crowd in full emotion reminded me of nothing so much as the crowds being stirred by Adolph Hitler. Those of us of Northern European extraction are often repulsed and embarrassed by the emotionalism of Southern European and Middle Eastern peoples, but it is just beneath the surface of all of us. If the truth be known emotion trumps rationality nearly every time. We are still not much smarter than our short, hairy cousins. Xenophobia rules. Progress can be measured by how many people we can kill at a time without having to look them in the eye.

As we watch the insanity of the communal conicts in Iraq it is strangely heartening to see the orange and the green are at it again in Northern Ireland. It is not a Middle Eastern or Jim Nutter a Muslim problem; it is a Main Arm human problem.

Do

you realise it’s not the sharks’ fault, we are in their habitat and they are naturally hunters and anything in their habitat is food (but you know what, they don’t like the taste of humans). On the Gold Coast (love that name) the Department of Primary Industry protects swimmers with the placement of shark nets at certain beaches. During the winter months, eg May to August, the humpback whales migrate north from Antarctica along the east and west coasts of Australia. Mother whales give birth along the coast and at Hervey Bay where they rest until their calves are strong enough to migrate back south to Antarctica. On their migration path the humpbacks have to pass by the Gold Coast (love it more) where these shark nets are situated. For a long time these nets have been responsible for the

deaths of adult and baby whales, among other marine life, but the DPI will not stop the practice of shark netting. Why not? The DPI has been sitting on information presented to them of an alternative electronic device by an inventor on the Coast for the last two years. Why? Why can’t at least the DPI remove the nets during the whales’ migration for those months that I have mentioned above so the whales can travel in peace without harm? How many more whales and marine life have to be sacriďŹ ced, not only in the Southern Ocean but along our coastline? We are not the only species on this planet with intelligence, or think we are. For the whales. Paul Brecht

Mining approval N Anderson (Letters, February 14) wonders if anyone has knowledge of the approval process that permitted Barrick Gold to operate an antiquated, cyanide based gold extraction process at their mine on the foreshores of Lake Cowal. Lake Cowal is NSW’s largest ephemeral lake and wetland system and internationally significant migratory bird habitat. The state government approved the mine because it would create 300 jobs for 13 years, raise revenue from taxes etc and it is government policy to encourage mining in NSW, making NSW the third most attractive state/country in the world to develop a mine. The government approved the use of the new American Solvay Internox, Caro’s Acid technology, that will supposedly reduce cyanide levels in the 350ha tailings dams to a level so low that it would not pose any risks to the environment. The government refuses to advise me whether this technology has been tested under Australia’s extreme weather conditions, eg oods. I wrote two letters concerning this and other issues to the previous and current premiers.

Their government departments refuse to comment on this and most other issues, however the Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC) introduced new safeguards to address the risks of wind borne arsenic from ore stockpiles polluting the lake. This issue had not been addressed in the EIS or Commission of Inquiry during the approval process, nor was a risk assessment undertaken for ooding. This mine was approved with key environmental issues, such as a Cyanide Management Plan, to be addressed by additional management plans prepared after approval was granted. These plans are not subject to a rigorous assessment process open to public scrutiny and the DEC refuses to provide copies of them to members of the public. My concerns about these issues have been compounded by the discovery that the company who obtained development approval, North Ltd, is the same company that obtained approval for the nearby North Parkes Gold Mine. This mine killed 2,736 birds from cyanide poisoning. After an investigation, it was discovered the EPA/DEC were partly to blame because the provisions for cyanide management were not adequately addressed in the

development approval process. It is also the same company that obtained approval for the Ranger Uranium Mine, which was fined $150,000 for causing water pollution in the Kakadu National Park. A 2003 Senate Committee report found there had been 110 pollution incidents and numerous breaches of environmental requirements since 1981. This report was not taken into consideration during the development approval process of the Lake Cowal mine, nor was the WA Cooke Report, regarding cyanide seepage at Barrick’s joint venture gold mine in Kalgoorlie. It seems inevitable to me that there will be water pollution incidents at Lake Cowal and its tributaries, eg the Lachlan and Murray Darling Rivers. About 80% of gold is used to make jewellery. To think globally and act locally, join the boycott on gold jewellery. D Hamilton

Fear of dogs Cynophobia – an abnormal or morbid fear of dogs. It seems that Villiafe Espinile (Letters, February 28) ďŹ ts the proďŹ le of someone who is suffering from cynophobia,

what else can explain her complete over the top tirade about ‘man’s best friend’? It is no wonder that her ďŹ ve year old is terrified and screaming, the child is picking up on the mother’s hysteria. Children learn from their parents. I am a child care worker and sometimes I look after children that are scared of dogs, however after a few visits to my family’s house they are all smiles and happiness when they see our dogs. It is all about balanced education. And as for the possibility of contracting a dose of tapeworm or leptosperosis, I have had dogs for over 40 years and have never had either of those or known anyone who has had them either. We always walk our dogs in the dog exercise area and also pick up their faeces, and I’m sure most other dog owners do the correct thing too. You will always have people that don’t do the right thing, and this is where the rangers should step in. But I have yet to hear about any owners being ďŹ ned on people only beaches, or any stray dogs being rounded up on the people only beaches, I don’t think the rangers like to get their shoes sandy.

Artists wanted to win $35,000 More than 500 entries are expected in this year’s $35,000 Country Energy Art Prize for Landscape Painting. Recognised as Australia’s richest annual landscape art prize, the unique competition has enjoyed rapid growth and wide acclaim since its inception in 2003. Regional general manager Far North Coast, Brian Glawson, encouraged all regional artists to put paint to canvas, whether they’ve already enjoyed national success or just want to show off their backyard. Last year’s winner was local artist Fiona Bennell of Mullaway, whose entry was one of more than 470 received. ‘Each year, it is both exciting and rewarding to see so many high quality entries – from those who

have been awarded Sulman and Archibald prizes to those who simply feel inspired to drag the paint box out from under the bed,’ Brian said. ‘I’m sure the 2006 $35,000 Country Energy Art Prize will be no exception. ‘There’s no doubt that being a country artist can be tough, but winning a prize like this is a valuable opportunity, which could mean building a studio, hosting exhibitions or renting space, or even travelling overseas. Not to mention raised profile, increased sales and wider opportunities to showcase their work,’ he said. Entry to the prize is open to artists whose principal place of residence is within Country Energy’s network area, which spans more than 95 per cent of New South

FEHVA artworks seek good homes

Wales’ land mass. Entry forms are available at all Country Energy customer service centres and regional art galleries or by phoning 13 23 56 or visiting www. countryenergy.com.au/artprize. One change in the conditions of entry – allowing the submission of entries as digital pics on a compact disc or print out – is expected to attract more artists than ever before. The judging panel to select finalists will include Craig, artists Helen Eager and Euan Macleod and Maitland City Council’s cultural director Joe Eisenberg. Overall judge is Sydney artist Tim Storrier. Entries will close on 21 July 21 and this year’s exhibition and judging will be held at Goulburn Regional Art Gallery.

Learning to write on the road Planning to wash down the hiking boots, dust off the Olivetti and take three months off to write a bestselling travel book? Think again. There’s certainly more to travel writing than buying the ticket and loading up the camera. But despite the challenges, travel is a popular genre for writers with a strong profile in the marketplace. Travel writer and freelance journalist Mark Mordue, pictured, will visit Byron Bay in the middle of March to unpack the secrets of ‘writing about the journey’ in a one-day, interactive workshop examining approaches to travel writing and providing a practical overview of the contemporary market. Mark is an internationally published writer and the winner of a 1992 Human Rights Media Award. His best-selling travel book, Dastgah; Diary of a Headtrip, is a collection of stories, poems and impressions written during a one-year odyssey that took him through India, Iran, Turkey, France, the United Kingdom and the USA. In his workshop, Mark will show

that achieving a balance between the personal and a more external set of observations is central to good travel writing. ‘Mumbai to Marrakech – Writing On The Road’ will be held on Saturday March 18 in the Studio Room at the Byron Bay

Community Centre from 10am to 4pm. Cost is $45 for Northern Rivers Writing Centre members and $60 for non-members. Numbers are limited and early bookings are essential. For bookings and information call NRWC on 6685 5115.

It’s the Northern Rivers’ version of Artbank. With over 100 artworks already submitted for the third FEHVA art auction, The Buttery offices are now bulging with some of the finest art in the region. And with the highly anticipated art auction and soirée still four months away, FEHVA coordinator Dee Tipping has come up with a plan: ‘With the concept of Australian Artbank in mind, we want to create another opportunity for local artists to have their work seen by a wider audience outside of the gallery setting and of course to ultimately encourage the

purchase of the artwork at the FEHVA sale in June. ‘Rather than keep these beautiful works bubble wrapped in the FEHVA offices we’ve decided to adopt them out to good homes in Byron prior to the auction and sale. For a very reasonable $28 a month you could have an Emma Walker or a James Guppy adorning the walls of your office or home. ‘We’ve already had a great response from a number of businesses and lovers of art including the Shirley Street Medical Practice, where Emma Walker’s work “Ship Shape” is producing a sooth-

ing atmosphere for Dr Hugh Macleod’s patients. ‘This is also an opportunity for people to live with the art prior to purchase to get a feel for it in their office or home, sort of try before you buy.’ All submitted works can be viewed at the FEHVA website:www.fehva.com, so you can browse the works, choose an artwork and contact Dee on 6687 1623 or e.dee@buttery.com to organise the adoption papers – she guarantees a quicker process than the Department of Immigration! Insurance details will also be outlined with prospective adopters.

Call for over 50s to check for bowel cancer The Cancer Council NSW has teamed with Rotary again this year during Bowel Cancer Screening Week to urge all Northern Rivers residents over 50 to check for bowel cancer symptoms with a simple home test available for $6. ‘Research has shown that a quarter of people at risk of bowel cancer can’t name a single symptom of bowel cancer – yet it’s the most common cancer for men and women, killing around 80 people in Northern Rivers each year,’ said Diana Fisher, Regional Programs Coordinator. ‘Each year around 210 people will be diagnosed with bowel cancer in this region.

‘Blood in the stools is a common symptom of bowel problems and the Faecal Occult Blood Test (FOBT) is a quick, easy and non-invasive way you can check for blood that isn’t easy to see, in the privacy of your own home. ‘Northern Rivers residents can pick up a Rotary Bowelscan FOBT kit from shopping centres at Tweed Mall, Tweed City, Kingscliff Shopping Centre, Murwillumbah Sunnyside, Grafton, some pharmacies and at many other locations. You can call our Cancer Helpline 13 11 20 for the price of a local call for information about where to get a kit.’ According to the Cancer

Council NSW, bowel cancer is highly curable, with up to 90% of cases treatable if detected early. ‘It’s really important that people over 50 perform an FOBT test every year and see their doctor if they notice blood in their bowel motions,’ said Ms Fisher. Other symptoms of bowel cancer include a change in bowel habits lasting more than two weeks, abdominal pain, weight loss, bloating and symptoms of anaemia. You may be at higher risk of bowel cancer if one or more of your close relatives have had the disease, if you have had bowel polyps, or if you have had inflammatory bowel disease for more than eight years.

Is there an end of the line for John Howard? Q A teenage friend of John Howard, who later became a minister in the Greiner government, said that when he was young he was obsessed about becoming prime minister. She told me that he had no vision, no grand plan for Australia, he just wanted to be prime minister. Matthew Hartley is very perceptive with his analysis of John Howard. His best asset is that he is a very skilled politician. He will do whatever it takes to remain in power. Even if this means being highly economical with the truth. The Howard team shines best at election time. It is very skilled at using fear. Fear of boat people, fear of terrorists, fear of rising interest rates. People run for cover, for security, when afraid. They like to keep the status quo. Many Australians are beguiled by the illusion that the economy is being run well by the treasurer. They seem blissfully unaware of the consequences of the current account deficit blowing out to 6% of our GDP and that our foreign debt has reached nearly half a trillion dollars or $59,000 per

household. We are in hock, as never before, to our neighbours. In the meantime, while we are living way beyond our means, hospitals, schools and infrastructure are grossly underfunded, the environment is being destroyed at an alarming rate and the gap between the rich and the poor in Australia has widened to unprecedented levels, with CEOs receiving over one million dollars a year and single parents struggling to survive. And the new IR laws will ensure the poor stay poor. The government fans racist fears, takes us into an illegal invasion of a sovereign country on a false pretext, allows coal companies to dictate greenhouse policy and funds the very dictator whose country we invade to remove! To cap it off, John Howard pays one million dollars from our cash-strapped aid budget to a pistolpacking mate to spend a few months swanning around Iraq opening doors, but too deaf to hear what’s going on. And this man was the chairman of the AWB! Those who have read Confessions of an Eco-

nomic Hit Man by John Perkins will understand why aid money was used to send Trevor Flugge to Iraq. When Milo Dunphy was dying, just after John Howard was elected, he told me he had received a visit from Neville Wran who told him that John Howard would be in for at least two terms. Milo said to Neville, ‘I’m glad I’m dying.’ How right he was. Richard Jones

Possum Creek Q He’s going down. For the sake of the nation he has to go down, and if the Opposition can’t manage the job on their own, we must help them. How? By honing watertight critiques and providing compelling reasons why he must go. But ďŹ rst, the good news. John Howard, he who is corrupt, he who knows nothing, is not undefeatable. Let’s look at his electoral victories. He won in 1996 defeating Paul Keating, a politician admired by some but despised by many more, and he won it by running a ‘small target’ campaign. So what? A jailer’s cat could’ve beaten Keating. In 1998, the ALP was still on the nose, but

Saving Ewingsdale I read with relief that Byron Shire Council has moved to ensure that ‘Byron Bay’s graceful old ladies be saved from the chop’ (Echo, February 28). It is very important that the surroundings of these buildings are well kept. To respect the memory of an early pioneer William Flick it would be a positive step if the irresponsible people who abuse the road and the cul de sac at the end of the newly named William Flick Lane in Ewingsdale could emulate the community spirit he showed in settling this lovely rural area. Despite the signs and regular surveillance by Council rangers it is still used by campers and as a dumping ground for rubbish, not to mention several other repre-

Howard got only 48.5 of the vote anyway. Many voters went Democrat in the Senate mistakenly believing this would prevent the introduction of the GST. Having introduced same, Howard was a dead duck until the Tampa and 9/11 turned him into the ‘Man of Steel’, or at least stealing, and delivered him a race issue and a khaki election. His next electoral victory? Against the sadly unhinged Mark Latham. What a surprise! So let’s not be intimidated. This guy has never won a straight ďŹ ght. He’s been lucky. Not any more. If you accept the above, you may see Mungo’s dire assessment that ďŹ nally nothing matters in the voters’ minds but the economy, and the punters think Howard’s the Man on that, is a little too pessimistic. Now I’ll present an argument you may ďŹ nd excessively optimistic, but which I think can be shown to stand up: Howard’s balls are hanging out all over the park, he’s vulnerable on every issue including the economy, and together we are going to club his administration to death. Really? Oh yes. For this week let’s begin with the economy. Referring

again to Mungo’s article of last week, and foreshadowing a more complete piece of my own, debt is through the roof, and stated in the old terms unemployment is over 10%. Let’s start from here. The debt has been taken on largely by private households, so you can’t pull the federal government up on that, right? You think? What’s the major cause of public debt? House prices. Who engineered the surge in house prices as a smokescreen creating ‘growth’ on paper? That’s right. Along the way, who locked young Australians out of home ownership? Now we’re moving. But will the increasing division of society into haves and have nots bother Howard’s Bastards? No. So dump them. Work instead toward his victims, especially in rural seats. And parents whose kids will never be able to afford to buy. And anyone with a conscience about the unemployed. So unemployment ďŹ gures are now compiled differently? Compile them the old way. That’s right: the way forward is to begin talking about ‘historically high unemployment’ and stating the ďŹ gures in the old terms. Tear down the illusions.

Talk about the decline in the economy. Apart from quarrying and wheat and the house borrowing madness, what’s going on? Well, elaborately transformed manufactures are going backward. So are intellectual property exports. So is ownership of actual wealth-producing assets. This economy business is supposed to be Howard’s area of strength? He’s taken the good luck of high mineral prices and thrown it to the winds. He’s manipulated the population into a national debt trap for his own political ends. He’s brought in high unemployment, unless you ďŹ ddle the ďŹ gures. Real wages have gone through the oor, unless you ďŹ ddle the ďŹ gures. He’s turned the Australian dream of home ownership into a nightmare. Amazingly, he’s done all this while a resources boom has been going on. Corrupt and incompetent. Keep talking it up. He’s going down. By the way, did you hear ABC correspondent Jim Middleton ask him about ‘claims you’ve created a public service that only tells you what you want to hear’ and Howard avoid the question? He is going down. Matthew Hartley

Auslink help for local transport infrastructure merits against standard criteria. I have written to councils, providing the program guidelines and details indicating how they should go about nominating projects,â€? he said. Nominations close on May 1. Mr Lloyd will announce successful projects later in the year. Mr Truss said emerging transport patterns and developments in agribusiness and the resource sectors required a new way of thinking about how transport infrastructure could be provided.This new approach included the possibility of industries contributing to projects where they received a direct beneďŹ t. Mr Truss said projects will be split into two notional funding allocations for larger and smaller projects. The large projects are those seeking an Australian government contribution of more than $1 million, while the smaller category is for project funding of up to $1 million.

ames Hardie Industries’ cold hearted and unethical actions to dodge its responsibilities to pay compensation to sufferers of asbestos related illnesses victims has spurred many individuals and councils to boycott the company’s products. At its meeting on Tuesday last week, Byron Shire Council voted to develop an ethical tendering policy which would allow Council to exclude tenderers which did not meet predetermined ethical standards. The awarding of a contract to Halliburton subsidiary, Kellogg Brown & Root (KBR), for the Bangalow Sewage Treatment Works, raised hackles among many in the community including Mitra Ardron from Byron Sustainable Ventures Network who spoke at Tuesday’s meeting. ‘We are being exhorted from many quarters to vote with our dollars and I do not believe this should be restricted to when we are purchasing as individuals. The businesses involved in the Byron Sustainable Ventures Network take account of ethics in their purchasing and I believe we should expect this of our collective purchases at all levels of government,’ he said, adding that we should be asking tenderers to disclose certain activities. ‘The most obvious disclosures would be of environmental offences for example. ‘It would probably have been relevant to Council’s decision on the Bangalow Sewage Works that KBR is under investigation by US senators for knowingly supplying water contaminated with sewage to the Iraqi army and preventing its employees disclosing this.’ ‘I am sure there will be ethical grey areas, and areas where values differ, but that is what Council was elected for. To make hard decisions on behalf of the community at large, and I believe that the majority of cases will in fact be particularly obvious. For example since KBR appears to have silenced its employees from reporting the sewage contamination of drinking water, why would we trust them not to hush up any similar event in Bangalow,’ said Mr Ardron. I should point out here that the shire’s drinking water is totally separate from the Bangalow Sewage Treatment Plant and residents should not be alarmed, on that score anywhere. There are plenty of

ignorance. All sea turtle species are endangered; when they beach themselves, it is because they are seriously ill or hurt. Since they breathe infrequently and lie very still, beach walkers usually assume they are dead. ‘Kicking sea turtles to see if they are alive, ignoring them, or putting them back in the water can be disastrous for them. An urgent response is needed if these vulnerable creatures are to be saved.’ Beached turtles should be covered in a wet towel, shaded or moved to shade if possible and guarded until a rescuer arrives; call the ASR hotline on 0482 862 852 for help. Mr Ferris is conducting a workshop on pelicans, seabirds and sea turtles in Ballina on Sunday March 12 from 8.30am and it is open to anyone with an interest in these species. The workshop costs $25 and includes all notes, barbecue lunch and refreshments. Early registration is essential by phoning 6686 2852 during office hours, or email admin@ seabirdrescue.org.

Group stages dog awareness day A group of concerned residents has formed a group called WatchDog whose aim is ‘to promote mutual respect in our community and the protection of our environment’. This group, which operates under the auspices of the South Golden Beach Progress Association, was formed in an attempt to rectify the uncontrolled dog situation in the area. On a recent Saturday the group held an Awareness Day at South Golden Beach with an aim to educate dog owners of their responsibilities and non-dog owners of their rights in regard to dogs. It also informed the general public of Council Resolution 05-751 which resolved that the beach stretch between South Golden Beach and New Brighton be designated as a dog exercise zone. This motion (points 4 and 5) were presented to Council by Cr Jan Mangleson, a representative of the Companion Animals Committee, who modiďŹ ed the Committee’s original motions to include two more. ‘We believe Cr Mangleson has a duty to make recommendations to Council after due consultation with the committee and the community,’ said a group spokes-

person. ‘It should also be noted that all members of the Companion Animals Committee with the exception of the Chair, Cr John Lazarus, are dog owners. ‘How can these committee members make balanced decisions for the community when the committee is so one-sided? Who is representing that section of our community who are not dog owners? ‘Even though it was not very crowded at the beach on Saturday it was a most positive exercise. It was gratifying to hear from many dog owners that they felt that there were already enough dog exercise areas in this part of the shire and that it was

important to retain beach areas for humans. ‘Some of these people had real concerns about dogs, often with no apparent owner present, running amok, defecating and intimidating their dogs in the dog exercise areas. ‘We did have discussions with a couple of grumpy local dog owners who basically stated that the beach belonged to everyone and they had the right to take their dogs wherever they liked regardless of Council regulations and respect for other beach goers. Fortunately, this type of person is in the minority but they are still highly visible in setting a bad example for others.’

View Club elects new committee

The new Brunswick Valley View Club committee was elected at the Brunswick Heads Bowling Club recently, and all the ladies are delighted to have the opportunity to continue the club’s good work. The View Club is particularly active in supporting the Smith Family projects, both locally and nationally.

Regional development board welcomes DSRD role change ‘The Premier’s announcement to expand the role of the Department of State and Regional Development (DSRD) will be of great economic benefit to the Northern Rivers region,’ said Margot Sweeny, Chair of the Northern Rivers Regional Development Board. ‘This region has signiďŹ cant growth and development opportunities, but it’s also facing challenges such as long term unemployment, low incomes, structural change in some of our key industries and cross-

border issues.’ The Board has been working to address these issues by developing a Regional Industry & Economic Plan (RIEP). The RIEP is the econ o m i c d e ve l o p m e n t framework for the region. This gives us greater capacity in the Northern Rivers to take advantage of the expanded role of the DSRD in realising regional development priorities. ‘A series of industry workshops for RIEP are currently under way to

identify industry priorities and it is possible that this expanded role will provide greater support to the region’s main industry and economic development activities. Details and dates of these workshops can be found on the Development Board’s website www.nrrdb.com.au ‘The Board is pleased to see that tourism, which is one of the region’s key economic drivers, has been integrated into DSRD. ‘This will be particularly

helpful in developing a cohesive approach for tourism development in the region,’ said Ms Sweeny. ‘The other key win for the region is the Department will now also include the investment arm of the Film and Television OfďŹ ce. ‘With the highest number of documentary makers outside of Sydney and Melbourne living and working in the Northern Rivers, our region is well placed to capitalise on this linkage.’

The sub-occipital muscles located at the base of the skull are very important structures in the human body. As well as holding your head up these muscles work as one unit with the eyes and inner ear to provide very precise balance information to your brain. To test this out close your eyes and look left to right. Do you feel the muscles in the base of the skull twitch? The downside of this arrangement is that poor posture and spinal alignment mean that these muscles can become hypertonic which upsets this delicate balance system causing headaches as well as poor concentration and fatigue. Chiropractic treatment can restore the correct tone in these muscles.

Lies come home to roost

n Palestine, a terrorist government, democratically elected. In Britain, consternation over a videotape of ‘our boys’ beating Iraqis. In Israel, the ‘Lion of Judah’ comatose and sinking. In Washington, Rumsfeld proclaiming ‘We are losing the propaganda war’. In New York, the UN demanding Guantanamo be closed down. In Iran, an anti-Semite building nuclear weapons. In Virginia a Cheney hunting buddy falling, his hand clutching his chest. In a list of detainees let out of Guantanamo, Osama bin Laden’s bodyguard. In several countries Danish embassies burning because of a cartoon. All over the world, duly elected advocates of ‘freedom’ damning those who reproduce the cartoon. Vows by all governments to ‘speak out’ against ‘irresponsible cartoonists’. In Melbourne, Leunig pilloried as an anti-Semite because of a cartoon. In Baghdad, Saddam’s trial once more adjourned lest it look to the world unfair. In Samara, the Golden Mosque burning. Is ‘freedom’, then, winning the War on Terror? No. Are we, at last, negotiating with terrorists? Oh yes. You bet. By blaming Denmark’s cartoonists and admonishing our own, we’re negotiating: we don’t make jokes any more, you don’t burn down embassies any more. That’s negotiation. But we always negotiated with terrorists. Israel, Ireland, Algeria, Mandela’s South Africa, Rabuka’s Fiji, were born of such negotiations. The US broke from England by terrorist action followed by negotiation. The Catalonians last week gained a federalised independence by terrorist action, and then negotiation. Every suburban siege of a gunwielding kidnapper is a negotiation with a terrorist. Every suburban hostagetaker asked to come out with his hands up is a terrormonger being reasoned with. Every police department has an officer trained to reason, threaten, soothe, negotiate in this way, with hostagetakers who are what else but terrorists.

W

hat lies we secular Westerners tell. What lying swine the Islamic world must think us. There is no torture in Guantanamo. ‘A few bad apples,’ not Bush-Rumsfeld policy, caused Abu Ghraib. Colonel Ghadaffi, once a mad beast worth targetbombing (the raid killed two of his children), is now a good man, worth doing business with, negotiating with. And though we personally

bombed him, that wasn’t terrorism, oh no. That was ‘preemptive action’. ‘Shock and Awe’ was not terrorism. That was ‘pre-emptive action’. Saddam’s WMDs exist, I show you here certain proof, my name is Colin Powell. What lies, damned lies and statistics. Now ‘Condi’ is threatening Iran with a war she can’t deliver, and has ceased to threaten North Korea with a war she can’t deliver, and still expects to be henceforth believed. She too swore the WMDs were there, and the uranium yellow cake, and she expects to be henceforth believed.

And ‘Communist’ and ‘Ruddock’ and ‘Kernot’ and ‘Reith’ and ‘Latham’.The word ‘Howard’ is too now. Because it no longer occurs in any headline. The initials PM occur instead. Because the word ‘Howard’ no longer has the concept ‘honesty’ wrapped up in it. The concept ‘habitual dissembling’ has replaced it.

Leila and Saeed to visit friends in Byron

Having recently been given Permanent Protection to stay in Australia, the Iranian Khalilpour family, Leila, Saeed and their two children are looking forward to meeting the many friends in the Byron area who have supported them over the past five and a half years. It was the many letters of support

which kept them going when they were held in detention at Curtin Camp in Western Australia and Baxter in South Australia. Currently they are living in Adelaide where Leila is keen to complete Australian requirements which will allow her to practise her career as a pharmacist, while

Saeed is participating online in a 16 week course which will gauge how much further study he needs to do in order resume his profession as a dentist. The family will be in Byron from March 16 to 23. For information on the celebration details please phone Diti Dickson 6684 2964 or emailditi@linknet.com.au.

Former Byron fishers meet up again

by Bob Ellis Howard knew nothing of bribes to foreign governments, though the Department of Trade is there for no other purpose. No, no, it’s clear from the polls, no Australian cares if the biggest known bribe in world history, our three hundred million to Saddam, bought bullets to fire at Australians, or family trusts for suicide bombers who blew up Israelis. No Australian cares about such things, so long as the economy ticks over, and the stupid rich can buy university degrees the smart poor can only dream of, and bosses can grope their female employees and sack them if they resist, and high school kids can dream of jobs in call centres. With advantages like these why would we Australians care about the odd hundred million slung at Saddam Hussein, torturer of Shi’ites and gasser of Kurds? Why would we care if the Iraq we helped free from tyranny thinks we helped keep that tyrant in place and won’t buy our wheat any more because of it? Why should we care if lies like these are told, and harm us as they do? We’re getting used to it, surely. Well, if we don’t care any more, the two elections of March 18, when the Liberals

transparent second-rater ‘Condi’ (compare her with Colin Powell), the languagechallenged serial killer Rumsfeld and the friendlyfiring Fudd Dick Cheney among them, the lies, the Big Lies, are coming home to roost.

S

o is the weird idea that killing tens of thousands of people helps things, an early Cro-Magnon concept that still animates Americans’ thinking and powers their economy. Though killing on this scale did once help in wars between nations and pitched battles of ignorant armies in uniform, those wars and battles no longer occur. Nor does the need for Star Wars rockets built to knock down other Star Wars rockets in a time when atomic bombs arrive in suitcases carried by moonlight unchallenged across the Rio Grande by young men whose relatives, probably, were killed by Americans in Iraq. Killing tens of thousands of people makes hundreds of thousands of enemies, and it always did. But what is different now is that the opportunity to kill everybody doesn’t exist any more. Now your enemies fly to Mexico, and walk with suitcase bombs across the Rio Grande.

After a chance conversation Anne Biddulph from Banora Point was able to reunite her father Lester Phillips from Ballina, left, and Don Hopper from Murwillumbah. Lester and Don had not seen each other for at least 50 years when they had fishing boats together back in Byron Bay in the 1950s. A get-together was held at Don’s residence at Mountain View Retirement Village last month where many a fish tale was told, also remembering the big 1954 cyclone which took the Byron Bay jetty and the two cranes which had been used to lift the boats up from the ocean.

Scholarships available to rural nurses FPA Health Family Planning NSW is inviting applications for the Tony McGrane scholarship for Nursing in Reproductive Health. This scholarship provides funding for a registered nurse to complete the FPA Health Post-graduate Certificate in Sexual and Reproductive Health. It is named in memory of Tony McGrane, former State Member of Parliament for Dubbo and a strong supporter of FPA Health Family Planning NSW.

The legacy of the Scholarship is that at the successful completion of the course, the nurse will return to rural NSW with added expertise and skills to assist local people. Last year’s recipient Susan Brown from Brewarrina in north west NSW, 1000 km from Sydney, says, ‘The scholarship has been an amazing opportunity for me and for the health of rural women.’ The scholarship consists of a sum of up to $6000 to cover course tuition, travel

1. Heath Ledger is up against Heath Ledger on Saturday night with Prime showing The Four Feathers at 8.30pm and TEN A Knight’s Tale at 6.30pm. A Knight’s Tale is more fun, but where’s Heath’s far superior Aussie movie Two Hands? 2. Spanish comedy Kill Me Tender (SBS, Saturday, 9.45pm) has been described as Pedro Almodovar meets the Coen Brothers. There’s a dominatrix in it, if you like that sort of thing. 3. Ewan McGregor waves his wand about as the young Obi Wan Kenobi in a more bearable episode of the interminable movie series – Star Wars Episode 1 – The Phantom Menace (TEN, Friday, 9pm). Catch Lynda La Plante’s dark crime series Trial And Retribution on ABC, Friday at 8.30pm.

What Kate Miller-Heidke did next IT ONLY takes one look at Kate Miller-Heidke and you know she’s got that special something. As corny as it sounds, she’s got more X Factor than a whole stream of contestants on a Reality Show combined. Classically trained, Kate is an extraordinary vocal talent who has closed the door on her Opera career to pursue her passion as an independent creator of innovative and edgy pop-folk. For Kate, leaving Opera wasn’t so much of a choice but a necessity. ‘I studied classical voice at the Conservatorium in Brisbane and did an apprenticeship with Opera Queensland – I was booked to sing Mabel with Opera Australia at the Opera House later this year, but I had to pull out, I don’t have the time to do the exercises and the rehearsal... or the performance.’ Working in opera offers a stable career of comfort and regular schedules and for a beautiful young thing like Kate, also the opportunity to be an up and coming Diva. ‘I love classical music, but there is something in me that doesn’t like being constrained to the notes on a page, I have always loved singing and

writing my own music.’ Opera isn’t a discipline you can just dip in and out of. It requires commitment and discipline, early nights and long days. ‘It’s like being an athlete, but instead you use a small muscle instead of a big one. You have to keep it up every day. I was out every night in bars, singing and playing music, it just didn’t work. Playing my own music suits my personality a lot better... they are really two very separate worlds and I suppose that I felt that I never really belonged to the Opera world.’ Which I’m sure is something the Opera world mourns a little, only in her early twenties, Kate has performed opposite Todd McKenny and Tom Burlinson in concerts such as Spirit of Christmas and Last Night of the Proms. Something other divas would give their pearly eye teeth for. Kate has assembled a tight and contemporary band around her, with the players adding to the diversity that she herself already brings to the table. ‘The band has been playing together for 2 years, we have three guys in my band and they are also in Transport

and I also have Emma Dean – she plays violin and sings harmonies and she is a great soloist as well... she is actually from a jazz background.’ A voice like Kate’s is a glorious gift. One imagines the endless times she is coaxed to hit a high note for the glee of spectators. If she’d had my mother, it would have been a regular occurrence, being cajoled with the ‘Go on do one for Aunty Betty. You should hear her.’ But Kate admits to being less showy. Personally, I would have let one rip for Aunty Betty, but

having to organise everything myself, and getting an agent and then the new CD is getting licensed through Sony BMG and I still own it but they do the distribution.’ So how much success is attributed to status as an up and coming indy artist? ‘I think it is because I come from Indy land and my Manager does as well. I think that is really where my audience is, I’ve built my audience from the live scene... you have to grow your audience through your live

‘I try not to hit high notes too much, I don’t like the idea of being of virtuostic for the sake of it.’ I’m tone deaf and have a voice in the same comfort range as fingernails on a chalkboard. Miller-Heidke is the image of restraint: ‘I try not to hit high notes too much, I don’t like the idea of being of virtuostic for the sake of it.’ From opera to indy fame in only a few short breaths. How does that happen? What was the defining moment? ‘The turning point for me was getting a manager. It took the pressure off me

shows.’ This year saw Ms Kate touted as the ‘Queen of Woodford’ resplendent with fiery crown. I didn’t even know such an honour existed. For those who’ve been to Woodford, you’ll know that Kate is one of those acts that got the festival buzz of ‘you really should go see this girl’. Better promo than any publicist. People Talk. ‘Word of mouth at Woodford is so important. I won’t see anything un-

less it’s recommended.’ Not just a serious singer, Kate has released Comikaze, a 4 song EP of her comic material. ‘I always sprinkle a couple of comedy songs into my live performance, and they are just kind of observational – there is a bit of a spoof of Australian Idol – and I do a couple of operatic versions of pop songs: Psycho Killer and Staying Alive.’ On first listen, one is left with some retro references. There’s the tiny bit Joni Mitchell, a little Kate Bush and a whole lotta Heidke. Ironically, it’s Joni Mitchell who’s her hero, not the wailing Bush. For Kate, the essence of her music is very much in the poetry of the lyrics. ‘Lyrics are extremely important to me... I spend a lot of time trying to make it right – I usually write to clear my head – at the piano. I have a new album due out – it’s an EP, called: Circular Breathing – it’s really a metaphor for giving and receiving and when you do circular breathing you do both at the same time.’ Kate Miller-Heidke plays the Bangalow Catholic Hall on Thursday 23 March. Tix $18/15 at the door.

gritty details, but it would appear that our burgeoning peace movement has suffered a small setback. Squabbling. Factionalising. Arguing. Politicking for Peace. How can this be? How can an event as inspirational as the Peace Carnival, one that connected brother with sister in the human quest for harmony end up doing laps of the ‘He said’ ‘She said’ roundabout? The Peace Train has come off the tracks, and if it’s anything like NSW Rail, it could take a bit of time to get her moving again. We may even have to compromise and get the peace bus. And like any bus, you’ve got to be prepared for a few crazies sitting next to you. It’s important to tolerate and involve them, but under no circumstances let them drive the bus. And who does Peace belong to anyway? I didn’t know there was a patent on Peace. Pardon me if I thought it was a power to the people thing, that the commitment to peace and love should dilute any internal personality struggles. I think it’s time we stopped playing philosophical tug-o-war with the peace dove before we rip her wings off and end up with peace egg on our face. There’s some pretty peaced off people out there at the moment. Everyone seems to want a peace of the action. How is the Peace Movement going to save the world if we can’t even share our rainbow ags occasionally?

Like charity, peace really needs to start at home. You can’t sell Peace to the planet if you’re tearing each other apart. It’s just not good advertising. It’s like a Catholic priest instructing on some ofhis favourite sexual positions, or John Howard’s lecturing on compassion or Amanda Vanstone being voted the next It girl. It just ain’t ever going to happen. If you want the world to stop warring, then perhaps we should stop warring as well. To be effective, then perhaps we should be uniďŹ ed – to ensure that we are all on the same Peace Page or cooking from the Peace Wok. Peace shouldn’t be about ego struggles, or who’s right, or who’s wrong, or who’s idea it was in the ďŹ rst place. The hope for peace is a dream for human and planetary salva-

tion. A story which transcends our petty individualism. Stop acting like a pack of peacewits. Forget your bickering, have a hug and get on with it. If we can’t even manage to have solidarity and unity within our own local peace movement, what hope does the planet have? For god’s sake, and the rest of us humans, do what Mr Lennon said, and give peace a chance. While you sweat the small stuff someone’s clubbing a seal, a bomb has gone off in Beirut, more of our ozone has disappeared, whales are slaughtered, indigenous peoples are displaced, a civil war rages in Africa... silly power struggles pale in the face of our global armageddon. Pull a cone on the Peace Pipe and move on. Lets all go out and get totally, mind numbingly Peaced.

FOR A lot of musicians, the place where you ďŹ nd your feet is on the street. If you are just starting out and haven’t managed to score enough live gigs to hone your act, then the street offers an instant audience that gives instant response. Invigorate and gain their attention, you’ll get spontaneous group adulation and a splattering of golden coins and bomb and you get a quick passing snicker. Lots of performers ďŹ rst cut their teeth with a hat on the pavement. In fact, I think it should be part of a musical apprenticeship. Unless you’ve done your time on the kerb, then you haven’t earnt the stage! Percussionists Natalie and Carlo credit a lot of their musical development to the years they spent working the crowds on the Byron streets. They now front the nationally popular, roots outďŹ t, Blue King Brown. For the fourth

year running the Byron Business Group, (a group of CBD businesses who raise money towards the beautiďŹ cation of Byron’s town centre) are organising the Blues over Byron, Busking Festival – offering players a chance to busk at Australia’s most prestigious music festival. Sandy McKee is one of the event promoters and says: ‘We’ll be doing the heats for the best original musician at the Rails, the front bar of the Hotel Great Northern and the Beach Hotel, and the ďŹ nal will be on at the Beach Hotel on the Good Friday. The winner gets a spot on Monday on the Apra stage at the Blues Festival. The standard has been fantastic, and last year all the ďŹ nalists were local, but the event is open to everyone. Only two years ago a guy from Mission Beach won, last year it was Engine 37 – Casey Dean’s band. There will be $100 people’s choice

prize.’ Anyone can enter, providing of course you have some musical talent! And will there be open guitar cases for the buskers for audience to shower them with shrapnel. ‘We have hats made up on the voting box,’ Sandy went on to say ‘and we do encourage people to chuck money in the box. We will be also organixing extra gigs for the ďŹ nalists. We also have a street performers side to the competition as well – running from Saturday 8 April to Wednesday 12 April. First place gets a weekend busking inside the festival and two runners up get to busk half a day at the main gate.’ Register your interest now. You can follow the link on the Bluesfest site: www.bluesfest. com or log onto www.byronbusinessgroup.com The event is graciously sponsored by the Lions’ Club with the ďŹ rst Heat Monday 10 April.

Getting the Dope on Doba MONDAY. I miss my appointment with Jenny Craig, pick up my friend’s car from the auto repair shop and fang it back from Lismore, having just taught my Tafe Comedy Class. I’ve got to drop the car to my friend and make it home in time to take my Dobacaracol interview before the furniture truck turns up to drop off my son’s desk and I in turn have to go do the school pick up. Phone Rings. It’s the delightful husky French voice of the Carole half of the French Canadian Dobracaracol. She’s got a voice like honey, sweet and musky but so fast, my pen is literally tripping to catch her words. ‘I really love being on the road. It feels better to get home though, and get back on track, it’s been such a big year. It’s been just crazy. We’ve been caught in a big storm, it’s so fast and so intensely fabulous. It’s all been a fabulous accident. Today we won a prize for the song that got the most airplay and we got the prize, and a lot of writers probably

set out to do that but we didn’t do it on purpose. It was something that started out of friendship. It has made it very strong between us. When I met her (Doraine) about 7 and a half years ago, we knew that something special was going to happen. It’s everything. Being very good friends and working together... when one is not feeling so good, the other can make it more powerful. We have two brains working in different ways. We don’t have the same strengths and weaknesses, so I suppose we complement each other.’ I ask her how they write music together. Of course, it always varies, but she has this rather unique approach with a fabulous name. Something Carole calls ‘cadaver exquie’ (excuse my French) but it means Exquisite cadaver, and according to Carole ‘is when one person will write a sentence and the next person will add a sentence. We do that with lyrics and sometimes with music. Sometimes it comes out really bad..and sometimes it’s really

great! We don’t ever want our writing to be a routine that you just fall into and that becomes too mechanical and lose our spontaneity... We want to write spontaneously because that’s how humans live... we live very day to day and sometimes my Mum is like, How can you live like that? But we feel that if you expect too much from life then maybe you’re not doing what you should be doing! We started our project for fun and we still have fun and things that make it more interesting is to be ourselves in our music... The main thing in the project is our friendship and we just wouldn’t have been able to do it without each other. We have never planned it and it is the history of 2 people meeting and the sparkle that came out of it... we are just so grateful... We are on the same page and we have the same values and share the same global vision of life and we have learnt to be able to talk about it and we know the other very well and we try to respect each

other!’ Both women are single mums with young children. ‘The moment we had children we became more inspired and more creative to make the most of the time we had. If you see things in life fulďŹ lling your life... the more you have to give...’ There is a knock at the door. There is a stocky bloke in shorts and a very noisy furniture truck ready to unload. There’s a delightful passionate warm voice on the phone. The blokes are starting to look impatient. I make my excuses to Carole, that I am at home taking the interview and will have to close a little earlier. She laughs and retorts ‘Ok. Enjoy your furniture.’ That was it. I never found out the bit about how to continue with fulďŹ lling creative choices... maybe you should just check them out at the Blues Festival and get an update. Warm, vibrant, and so uplifting, Dobacaracol are steeped in a tradition of eclectic chants and unique grooves. Tix are still available: www.bluefest.com But get in fast.

LIVEMUSIC THOU SHALT NOT: WORSHIP FALSE IDOLS

Love it or hate it, I suppose you have to admit that Australian Idol has become something of a phenomenon. It’s brought families closer together with Mums and Dads and kiddies gathering together to bask in the neon glow of the box, (although with the advent of plasma, it’s more like sitting around a manila folder) to watch people triumph and more importantly, stuff up. It’s a bit like watching a car accident. You know it’s bad for you but you just can’t stop. I don’t think any real musical talent has been unearthed, just lots of very good singers who may one day have a lucrative few months touring the Club circuit. But they do appear to be having fun. Well sort of, except for the tears and the desperation, where the glitz of celebrity and fame beckons. Of course, there is celebrity, in the form of massive exposure and the consequent fame. But it tends to be eeting. I worry that people care so much about being famous and wonder why they aren’t encouraged to create their own music. But why offer a chance to an up-and-coming musician who may have some real prospects: those guys get good because they struggle, they stay thin because they have no income, and they maintain their edge. Australian Idol is like the

emery board for edges, just niave and deluded kids who want to leave their job at Grace Brothers to become a Pop star. Yeah Right. For some unknown reason (and I have phoned the publicists several times) they have decided to come to Byron. No doubt canvassing our incredible talent, although I am a little suspicious of the ‘humour’ aspect, of these audition shows. I can only surmise that Byron has been chosen because the crew would like a weekend at the Beach and our rich diversity of drummers and stick twirlers will provide a hearty laugh for all those middle Australians out there who do so love to make hippy jokes. Of course, if you’ve managed to wade through this and you are still keen to audition, then I suppose you can’t be stopped but let me say it before you fall ‘I told you so’. Saturday at Byron Beach Resort. Of course you must be between 16 and 31, have enormous breasts and be only marginally articulate. And that goes for the blokes as well. Of course I was joking. You don’t need to be articulate at all. Host James Mathison and producers are coming to scour the area for talent kicking off from 8.30am. (For creative safety, try a version of Ramadam – 24 hours of non movement). You can register to a spot www. australianidol.com.au or 1900 926 435

BAREFOOT AT THE KNOB

GROOVING IN THE NEIGHBOURHOOD

Like its name would suggest, the Blue Knob Community Hall is a place of much excitement and colour! I am completely enthralled with the provocative name. I am thinking of renaming the Azure Phallus or the Marine Member or my favourite the cobalt cock. I would be tempted to set up an alternative venue, called the Violet Vagina. The hall has, in the past been the victim of many smarty pants penis jibes, and in that time, the Blue Knob has held her head high and been the venue of many vibrant dances from the 30’s to the 80’s with this nostalgic occasion providing something of a new Millenium reincarnation for the Blue Knob Community Hall Gallery. A night of fabulous handcrafted contemporary-traditional folk music is all lined up with Mandy Breeze and Doug Kelly playing beautiful ballads, lively tunes, haunting medieval dirges: sensitively and passionately on instruments chosen from Irish bouzouki, French pipes, banjo, guitar, mandolin, dulcimer, keyboard and bodhran. Black Train will be playing 1920s and 1930s hillbilly music – such as that of Woody Guthrie and Stanley Brothers. Adults: $10, under sixteens: $5. Supper available. Tickets can be purchased in advance at the Nimbin Artists’ Gallery and at the door on the night. Location: Blue Knob Hall Gallery, 719 Blue Knob Road, near corner of Lillian Rock Road, Tel. 6689 7449 for further enquiries.

Have you ever wanted to hang out with the coolest dudes? Then man, you oughta pop off to Brisbane, because the skanky hanky is just getting more fanky (meaning funky) by the minute. The Neighbourhood Groove Collective features members of George, AfroDizziAct, Promiscuous, Kafka, the Resin Dogs and Spankenhide, NGC (The Neighbourhood – Groove Collective) is one group whose inspiration and reputation rests solely on horny harmonies and golden vocals! Their ability to blend music and improvise performance produces a sound that meets somewhere on the corner between a seedy jazz bar and sparkly funk club. They play at the Beach Hotel on Saturday.

Sometimes collective nouns are so obvious we forget they’re there, like CAST (actors), CHAIN (islands), COLONY (ants) or even CONVOY, CLASS and CONGREGATION. Sometimes they are less well known, like a CRASH of rhinoceroses; sometimes they are stupid - a CONFLAGRATION of arsonists (when have you ever seen a group of arsonists in the one place?); and sometimes they are so obvious that you’d kick yourself (a COLLECTIVE of nouns!).

THE SOUND OF YOUR SOUL GROWING

For years Darpan has been a musical shaman working with music as a transformational tool. He creates evocative soundscapes that literally resonate on a cellular level. The Temple of Glowing Sound offers you the opportunity to be transported into deeper spaces within yourself. He is joined by fellow musician Bhakta, who has an incredible ability to create music out of the silence, which has the organic feeling of something that has created itself. It’s a reminder of the something that is the essence of our purest existence. It’s about waiting patiently for the absent dimension to take over. The two have put together a double CD entitled ‘The Temple of the Glowing Sound’ weaving vocals, percussion, harmonic overtone singing, electronic and ethnic sounds into a seamless tapestry of shapeshifting aural landscapes. From a rich blend of shamanic grooves to Amazonian atmospherics and vocal transmissions intended to uplift the spirit and soothe the savaged soul to ambient sounds designed to accompany the listener into deep trance. Warning. Do not

play CD two whilst driving! A percentage of the proceeds is dedicated to the preservation of the rainforest. They are performing in a special launch, where if you buy a CD at the door you don’t have to pay the $15 entrance. Also on the night is Amir and Avishai from the Israeli world music band, Sheva. A performance by Antara and the Kundalini Collective. Dean Jeffries will be screening selected footage from Shamans of the Amazon. DJ’s Nirgrantha and Svarup and DJ reforM will be rocking the house with up-vibe beats. Friday night at Durrumbul Hall from 7pm. HEY HEY IT’S NATHAN KAYE!!!

Byron Bay’s Good vibed, Slide-didgin’ and human Beatboxing song-smith, Nathan Kaye is still charged up from his packed out performances at this year’s Woodford Folk Festival and recent local warmup gigs for his show with the Dreamseeds at the Hotel Great Northern this Saturday night! On his last UK Summer tour he played the stages at some world renowned festivals such as Glastonbury Festival, and Scotland’s Edinburgh Festival in the world famous Spiegel Tent. As a multi-instrumentalist, he does human beat-boxing (vocal drums), plays 12 string guitar like its some kind of funky sitar, 6 string guitar and lap-steel slide at the same time as the SlideDidge (which is an innovative Trombone-like Didgeridoo made from timber) and stomp-box. But it isn’t his obsession with instruments that has attracted so much attention to his show. It is his heart-felt voice, lyrics and engaging, honest conversational style evoking the inspiring moods of Michael Franti that people are drawn to. Joining him onstage will be the Dreamseeds featuring the talents of Marty Jones on Kit and Zia Moreau on Bass plus in support will be our local world longboard champion, Beau Young and the Sunshine Coast’s Zia Moreau. Nathan Kaye and his very esteemed Dreamseeds are at the Hotel Great Northern on Saturdays.

ARTSEVENTS WOMEN’S FEST: LIVING CONSCIOUSLY

A curious title. My instant image was from one of those daytime soapies like the Bold and the Beautiful and one of the fabulous women with big hair is in a coma and we don’t know if she’s coming out... now that’s a living unconsciously. My Nanna has made a whole lifetime out of unconscious choices. And doesn’t she love it. Where would our families be without a few rounds of the Blame Game. Oh damn, I got the ‘You never loved me, it’s all your fault Dad’ card. Go directly to the pub, and shout three rounds. Perhaps we could all make more informed and conscious choices about our lives. That would have to be a good thing. Personally I’m all for the Living

with a Conscience as well. Makes it very hard to make a conscious choice about buying $700 shoes when you know that somewhere in the world that would have fed a family for a week. All these issues. How to die, How to Live and from me, how to laugh in the process. Featuring keynote speaker and author Stephanie Dowrick, the beloved Zenith and silly old me. Byron Community Centre. Friday. www. wholewoman.com.au

LINE UP OF FREQUENCIES

Last week Paul Francis’ ďŹ lm ‘Beyond The Line Up’ took out the best Surf Film at the Byron Film Festival. The Film takes us on a day to day journey with seven very different surfers from Australia to Japan to Indonesia, indulging us in the rich and ambient rhythms of surf culture. Music and surďŹ ng are interrelated. Water comes in waves, and so does music. The surf journey continues when one hits the lounge room, where with guitar in hand the same chilled out ride is sought. Look at Jack Johnson, and Xavier Rudd, and and and, I can’t think of anymore, but they’re surfers. It’s a particular sound. You only need to play Nick Cave for ten seconds to realise the mad don’t hang ten. It’s a particular sound. This week Dave Rastovich and his musical buddies support the release with an evening focusing on surďŹ ng and music. The ďŹ lm also includes some unseen footage of the legendary George Greenough. Band of Frequencies. Music and Surf Film – at the Hotel Great Northern on Sunday. ROCKING THE SPHINX The hills are alive with the sound of music this weekend it would seem. If you are in the Sphinx Rock area then you are in for a major treat as they have a gig which boasts a massive 16 live bands. Headling acts are Bertha Control, from Brisbane, a bunch of bright and brassy young broads who rock hard and play hard. Also featured are Blissmongers, Future Native and many many more. This is a fundraiser for the Murwillumbah Community Centre, so be there and lend your support. It’s only $20 per person with kids under 16 accompanied by an adult allowed in for free! This is an all day event, kicking off from 11am and running through until 11pm. Workshops, food and great kids activities. Phone John for tix, on 6679 7118. At the Sphinx Rock Cafe. VERY PLUCKY GUY Richard Thompson is an internationally acclaimed guitarist and songwriter – someone who has been called a musician’s musician! He has achieved more as a songwriter

in Byron this week. Featuring the works of Suzanne Carrick, Laurel Barickman and gallery curator, Tennille Hogan. The art featured deals with age, beauty and tradition. Works are powerful, funny and quirky with titles such as ‘Oh my God I’m so Catholic’ and ‘My mother hates the Hil’s Hoist’. Part french inspired, obsessed with Asian culture, others balancing in moderninty. All are invited to the opening at Arc De Art, 4/10 Wollingbar Street Industrial Estate on Friday.

PAINTING YOURSELF CATHOLIC

They say you can always pick a catholic girl, and it’s true, she’s the one in detention. Three creative women combine their talents for a mixed media exhibition at Arc de Art on the Industrial Estate

and instrumentalist than most musicians do in a lifetime. His colleagues ranging back to Jimi Hendrix and up to today’s young giants, unify through time in admiration of his accomplishments. He says: ‘I always had a problem growing up in London around a British folk tradition but also listening to rock and roll and not ďŹ nding anyone who was playing the music I really wanted to hear. Really what I wanted to hear didn’t exist, so it was necessary for me to go out and create it.’ So how does one go about creating music that you want to listen to? Well, at the tender loin chicken age of 17, (sorry, I’m getting peckish. Either that or I’ve got a touch of Bird Flu) he was the co founder of Fairport Convention in the 60’s and has continued to write and perform some of the most distinctive and acclaimed music ever. The album Liege and Lief, long regarded as a milestone recording in deďŹ ning British Rock, revealed the extent of Richard’s talent as a songwriter. His ďŹ rst solo was Henry the Human Fly, regarded by many as a classic and his legendary 1982 album Shoot out the LIghts which was hailed by Rolling Stone as one of the Top Ten albums of the 1980’s. He’s been called Britian’s greatest living songwriter, which is a pretty big call. I’d say you probably shouldn’t miss him. Richard Thompson at the Hotel Great Northern on Tuesday 14 March.

Katalyst has gone from strength to strength. His ďŹ rst album Manipulating Agent won two DMA awards; ‘Best Producer’ and ‘Best Album’ at the 2002 Australian Dance Music Awards. He then went on to start Invada Records with Geoff Barrows from Portishead which was successful enough to start in England as well. In tha last few years Katalyst has played all the big festivals in Australia and toured with likes of Jurrasic 5, DJ Shadow and Ben Harper. What’s next? What are you working on Production wise? When can we expect a new album from you? I’m currently working on the new record and after the Invada Stage Invasion Tour is ďŹ nished, it will be all I’m working on till it’s done. I have a lot of it written but it will still take a few months to pull it together with all the guests I’ll have on the record etc. There will be lots of guest vocalists on the album from Australia and abroad. Still keeping the Katalyst sound it will hopefully be a progression from the last album. I’m still inuenced by the same type of sounds so I don’t think it will be a shock for anyone who has the the last record, but it will deďŹ nitely be different. Your Partnership with Portishead’s Geoff Barrow has worked out well by all accounts. How did you meet and what creative relationship do you share? It has worked out well. I met

www.echo.net.au

Geoff when he was here in Sydney on holidays at the end of 98. We had a lot in common, became friends and worked on a few projects together before entering into a business relationship with the label. Geoff came out for the summer in Australia every year since apart from the last couple as he became a dad. As soon as the next Portishead album is ďŹ nished he’ll be back out for a long summer holiday. I’ve certainly learnt a lot from

‘we are constantly bouncing ideas off each other, sending Mp3’s and playing each other tunes down the phone...’ him in many areas of music production, song writing etc, and he values my musical opinion so we are constantly bouncing ideas off each other, sending Mp3’s and playing each other tunes down the phone to get each other’s feedback etc. FDEL tours with a live band. How do you feel about the merging of acoustic and electronic sounds in live shows? Do you use artists and live sounds much in your production work? Most of the sounds I work with are acoustic in origin. It’s just that they may have been recorded some time ago and

ONE MINUTE WITH

PLUTO SAVAGE AKA THROBBING VENUS Pluto has been a performance artist working on the fringe since his ďŹ rst nightclub performance at Sydneys Club Kooky in 1996. His work deals with the taking the piss out of the dirty underbelly of our society. God: Some guy i made up when i was really pissed. Sorry, i had no idea it would go this far. Politics: Taking pleasure in the pain of others. Gender: An illusion ripe for destruction. Drag: A monotonous zombie art form denied evolution by a deplorable fear of risk The microphone: My second favorite weapon after the mascara wand. See Throbbing Venus perform alongside DJ Mark Murphy at Squeezbox March 16 @ Play.

pressed onto vinyl. So its not really an issue merging live sound with ‘electronic’ sounds. It’s all stylistically similar. Fdel is basically the drum and guitar parts of his songs replayed live and triggering the rest of the material from his sampler. Part of the reason some producers use samples as opposed to getting players to record the parts is that the recording techniques used today tend to give a far cleaner sound that often has less ‘character’ than the older recordings. There is a science in recreating the character of those recordings. I like to use artists and live sounds in my production when the sound is right. However sometime it is a very costly exercise to record certain elements live. Strings for example. So I might ďŹ nd myself searching for a string sample of an entire orchestra The Invada Label has been running strong with it being launched in the UK as well. What’s it like running a label? Is it more business than creative? Running a record label is a business. But if you can’t properly identify if someone is creative, or you don’t understand the creative process, then you’re not completely understanding your business. I’d like to be spending more time as an artist being more creative in the next few years as I’ve been

doing the business for a while now. As far as business goes, running a record label is very creative but at the end of the day it must be treated like a business if it’s going to survive in the tough environment that exists today. Ru C.L, Koolism and FDEL are label mates & tour mates. What will each artist add to the show? Even though there are 4 essentially hip hop artists on the bill – each act is totally different & brings something unique to the tour. Ru C.L is awesome live – I personally think he is Australia’s most talented MC. His mum is Jamaican & they speak Patois at home so this inuence comes through strongly in his lyrics & his style. Ru C.L’s live show consists of Ru C.L, MC Xela (Good Buddha) and DJ Leeroy Brown – these guys do a great live show together – the ďŹ rst big run of shows they did together was when they

supported the Black Eyed Peas, every time i see their show it just gets tighter. Koolism need little introduction, these boys have done so much touring. Danielsan & Hau have been rocking it since the early nineties. Their live show is full of energy, Hau has stamina on the mic and Danielsan keeps the crowd entertained. Danielsan’s breakdown of The Funky Drummer on the MPC is something to be seen, and throughout the show Dan gets out from behind the decks and cuts some moves – they are funny lads. This is the ofďŹ cial tour for their new album New Old Ground, the follow up to the Aria winning Random Thoughts. New tracks, whole new show... check it out Fdel’s live show is full of energy – it gets the dance oor bumping. Having not toured nationally since the release of ‘Audio Fdelity’, the boys are excited to be joining the rest of the Invada crew. Fdel

and his 4-piece band will be bringing the funk live – Fdel’s band consists of drums, guitar, DJ Armee (Downsyde) on the decks, Fdel on MPC. A show not to be missed – check it out for ya’self. Who do you think is blowing up nationally and internationally? Someone always got to be blowing up. Sometime for no apparent reason. I guess you could put a lot of people into the ‘Blowing Up’ category. One person who seems to have blow up in the last 12 month is Common. But why... he has had many fantastic albums, why did ‘Be’ blow up? Perhaps cause Kanye did most of the production on the record. So why did Kanye blow up... perhaps cause he signed to Roc-a-fella and Jay Z ‘retired’. It’s not always about what you know or what you do. Koolism, Fdel, Katalyst & RU C.L. will rock the Great Northern Wednesday night.

DJ SLINKY DJ Slinky, local breaks maestro, is moving to London. I caught up with him before his last gig in Oz.

Have you been producing lately? What have you been doing Music wise? I’ve been working on a few projects lately. A chill tune for Lee Groves (ex Terminalhead) due to be involved in new apple software. I’ve also just ďŹ nished a new remix for indie breaks label Amotiv from Manchester in the UK. I think it gets pressed to vinyl late April early May. It’s very dreadzone inuenced with a general midi breakdown. A very dub feel with snappy breaks, live ragga vocals from West Kenyan Tommy Motto, and live Timbali and cowbels from Jamie (ex Utungan percussion). Came up a real treat. Great high when you see people on the dance oor just having it and going off! The rest of my tracks I’m working on got lost unfortunately when I fried my hardrive with no backup! Start fresh and new! You’re off to the UK soon is

this a career move? What do you want to accomplish over there? It is both a career and personal. I want to go over there to further my music and get in studios with some big guns and learn some new tricks and how to speed up the process, but also to be with my girlfriend Liz, and hopefully start a fresh life together. Byron’s great for a holiday, but not much opportunity for a professional career in breakbeat! Sad how the whole town is after the tourist dollar and so blind to its hidden wealth of talent musically. I just want to have people like my music enough to want to buy it so I can make a living doing what I love. To make enough money to start a family while making music. Those opportunities don’t come very often in byron, I think in the UK you might be more likely to bump into the right person at the right time if you keep at it, and perhaps live your dream. I just live each moment to the fullest. What or who is exciting you in the breaks scene at the moment?

Well there are so many...Rouge Element is pumping out some psychedelic tinged breaks, while Madox from Italy is the funk man. Malente from Germany is pumping it out, and smithmonger from Tasmania is caning it as well. My favourite tracks at the moment would have to be some unreleased ones I have from BLIM, Krafty Kuts & ILS. Amazing production over clever beats. What can we look forward to the gig in Coorabell? Well that’s easy... good music! It’s s’posed to be a sorta going away party for me. Pob and Shelley have done this amazing but retarded yer with the heads of Brad, Pob and myself all on the bodies of the sound of music cast. Really freaky but funny too. That’s what the event is about... sharing good

music with people you love and not taking things too seriously and having some fun. I guess it will be one of the last chances I get to share my tunes with people and have everybody I know in the same place to say goodbye to them at once. Any last words to your loyal Byron Shire fans before you become a pommy? Never give up on your dream! Follow it to the moon and back, only then can you be truly satisďŹ ed you did everything you could whether you succeed or fail. Live every minute as if it was your last, and.... keep listening to breakbeat...its good for the soul, mind and body. Top 40 is evil! The Hills are alive 2 with Slinky, Pob & Vortex. Coorabell Hall this Saturday night.

BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN It’s 1963 and two cowboys, Ennis and Jack, are alone together in the mighty landscape of Wyoming’s high sierra. Slowly they discover their true selves and in their shared tent they inevitably consummate an intense, enduring attraction. After taking his time to arrive at this moment, director Ang Lee then compresses twenty years of their subsequent, separated lives into the second half of the story without ever seeming hurried in the telling. Eschewing the temptation to be a banner waving liberation ick, the ďŹ lm’s power lies in its intensely private mood. The role of Ennis is not a showy one – he is inarticulate white trash, overwhelmed by circumstance and his own ungovernable nature – but Heath Ledger lives and breathes it. Jake Gyllenhaal is equally good and there are no weaknesses in a supporting cast of precisely drawn characters who embody the outside world from which Ennis and Jack are forever alienated. The recurring theme’s melancholy is perfectly offset against a spare soundtrack, helping to draw you in deeper every minute until, just when you think it’s all done and dusted, Ledger nails it beautifully with his mumbled elegy in the poignant last frame. John Campbell

Shopgirl, directed by Anand Tucker ( http://movie-reviews.colossus.net/movies/h/hilary.html) from a screenplay by Steve Martin ventures into Lost in Translation territory. Although the relationships in this ďŹ lm are overtly romantic and sexual (as opposed to what was simmering beneath the surface in Translation), there’s the same sense of longing and poignancy, and a recognition of spirits touching, then passing by. One tends to associate Martin with comedy, but Shopgirl is a dramatic piece. There are humorous bits certainly, but taken as a whole, the movie goes for the heart, not the funny bone. Romance is usually seen by Hollywood as a convenient convention – something that can be sold to readers of Harlequin paperbacks. Rarely do we see a ďŹ lm that treats the subject seriously – exploring the highs and lows, the deating disappointments, the desperate second-chances, the awkward moments, and the delicious yearning. Shopgirl does all of these things. This is a smart, adult romance that rarely panders to clichĂŠs, and gives up the heady bliss of most such movies in favor of something bittersweet.Ross Goode

KINKY BOOTS The Price family of Northampton have been making shoes since 1895, but young Charlie (Joel Edgerton) makes a break and heads south for a more exciting life. Upon his father’s death he returns to take charge of a company near bankrupt. Serendipitously, while in London he met Lola (Chiwetel Ejiofor), a big black drag queen who can’t get a pair of shoes to ďŹ t him properly. Charlie decides that guys in dresses is a niche market and Lola moves north to be his designer. Initially you fear that the movie will waste its energy on boas, high campery and poofter jokes, but it moves unerringly into its characters’ uncontemplated lives, demanding that they reappraise their relationships and what they value most. It’s about identity and acceptance, not just of others but of oneself too, which is sometimes the most difďŹ cult ask. Meaningful questions are posed, but in a comforting rather than confronting manner – things need not always be hard edged to make a point. It’s unpretentious and good-humoured, with effective bites from Nina Simone, Bowie and James Brown and a look at Milan’s glorious Piazza del Duomo in the late afternnoon sun. John Campbell

Byron Shire Echo March 7, 2006 31

www.echo.net.au

S TA R S Lilith You know the bumper sticker that says: Shit Happens? Give it a positive spin by upgrading it to Shift Happens. Then make that true by using this week’s frustrations and aggravations to get you to a new level of expertise‌

GEMINI: If you’re irresistibly drawn to something gorgeous this week – and it’s highly likely – gestalt psychology would tell you that it’s an outward projection of your own internal beauty, and like the legendary Narcissus you’re attracted to your reflection. What do you think?

SCORPIO: As you’re probably aware, you’re experiencing the full spectrum of human emotions right now – not separately, but inextricably mixed. Setting one part of your personality against the other doesn’t work, as you’ve already found out – dark and light both need to be equally honoured.

CANCER: This week you’ll absorb even more energetic input than you usually do from the world around you. Personal dreams, postponed plans and adventurous enterprises tug at your attention, sending you meandering off on fascinating tangents – and it’s time you let them.

SAGITTARIUS: Mercury retrograde has extra stress factors operating this week, so be a smart banana and don’t make waves. If you’re not getting what you want try a different angle, think laterally, even just give up altogether – that often gets miraculous results.

LEO: Things to do this week to counteract the stress effects of Mercury retrograde: Treat all delays as opportunities. Regard setbacks as rest breaks. If you feel you’re heading towards the deep end, don’t panic and flap about – stay buoyant by relaxing and floating.

CAPRICORN: Fire signs like it hot and happening, water signs like it moist and touchy-feely, air signs like space and communication, but earth signs like things solid – which they aren’t particularly right now. But you are, and it’s a blessing. And the more you are this week, the better.

ARIES: The Aries retro Mercury fun to-do list: Go ahead and explore those time-wasting diversions and excursions. Experiment with giving in gracefully. Practise deep listening – the opposite of selective hearing. Find something to appreciate in everyone you meet. Have a great week.

VIRGO: Domestic harmony (which includes your personal brain space) is the urgent item on this week’s agenda, so downplay blame, niggling and arguing – upgrade patience, understanding and support. Most importantly, make peace with your own and other people’s shortcomings.

AQUARIUS: This week’s birthday celeb is Yuri Gagarin, the first person in space. And with Venus moved into Aquarius you’ll be concentrating on examining the space around you in some way or other: whether it’s mental, physical, emotional, creative or work space.

TAURUS: Yes, minds are changing like traffic lights: this way, that way, couldn’t care less, but it must be like this‌ One way to help you stay on an even keel this week would be to start appreciating yourselves more for who you are, rather than what you do. Or have.

LIBRA: People’s defenses aren’t easy to penetrate this week. Others may not be emotionally robust or particularly forthcoming – you’ll have to draw them out, carefully and patiently or they’ll retract and withdraw. Consider it a challenge to your charm and expertise.

PISCES: This week’s Piscean birthday poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning observed that prayers often thrust the thing we pray for in our face, a gauntlet with a gift in it. Present transits are likely to give you what you put out for – and prove challenging as well as helpful.

YOU SING THE BLUES Ok. So you wanna win a ticket to the Blues Festival. This year, I don’t want no more beggin. You wanna get a leggin, you gotta put your pen to paper and give me what you wanna be gettin. See I’m a natural. We have 3 double passes to give away. Each week I am asking readers to submit one verse of a blues song which contains some key words. The best blues verse will be published and the winner awarded accordingly. This week’s words: Wheat, Caravan and Breast Augmentation. Email your entry to mandypow@echo.net.au or drop into one of our ofďŹ ces. Deadline for the ďŹ rst Heat is noon on Thursday 23! I’ll let you know the criteria for heat 2 next week!

BYRON GETS MEDALS IN COFFEE Byron Shire and surrounds has always done well at the Sydney Royal Show annual coffee competition. This year Byron Organic Produce picked up a silver in plunger coffee. Bronzes in a number of classes went to local companies, including the Byron Bay Coffee Company, Zentveld’s, and Bun Coffee. Full competition results are available at www.sydneyroyalshows.com.au. CHECK YOUR MUSSELS Reader David Gilet who has Belgian ancestory writes in to us with a delightful tip on how to tell when a mussel is bad, based on his boyhood memories. The cleaned mussels were placed in a copper (otherwise used for washing clothes) without added water and with chopped onions, celery and carrot. The gas was lit and a large white peeled onion placed on top. If the onion discoloured it meant there was ‘a crook mussel in the mix which had to be looked for...’ NO GOLD FOR PASTA Wheat is not only a problem for the federal government. Judges decided not to award a gold medal in the 2006 Sydney Royal Fine Food Show Pasta Competition. Entries from around the country competed in the 100% Durum Wheat Classes, 100% Wheat Classes and Fancy Classes, with

only one silver medal and ten bronze from the 53 entries being awarded. ‘What we see at the Pasta Competition is reective of Mother Nature and from where the our is transposed into pasta,’ said Grahame Latham AM, Chairman of Judges. ‘This year seems to indicate that Mother Nature didn’t provide as well in the raw material department which produced a considerable challenge. But there were some very good products. Class 9 (Innovation and Fancy Class) produced two very signiďŹ cant pastas suitable for special dietary requirements, which will beneďŹ t particular sectors of the community – these were the Orgran Rice and Corn Pasta Spirals and the Orgran Gluten Free Pasta.’ The silver was awarded to Passion Pasta from Victoria for its Saffron Angel Hair entry. Most of the bronze medals came from the dried pasta category, which included fettuccine, parpadelle and linguini exhibits. NSW produced most bronze medals including Bellatta Gold in Tamworth, Pasta Fina in Wollongong, Pasta Italia in FairďŹ eld, and Pastabilities in Marrickville. Full competition results are available at www.sydneyroyalshows.com.au. BOUTIQUE WINERY WORTH A VISIT Seeking to overcome the effects of bushwalking at Binna Burra in the Lamington National Park, our bibulous editor stumbled upon the Mt Nathan Winery on his way back to Nerang. Their chardonnay is superb and reasonably priced, and they do a very nice line in honey liqueurs. Find out more at www.mtnathanwinery.com.au.

GETTING YOUR GOAT RIGHT Brisbane residents and visitors will have the rare opportunity to taste a traditional goat feast when Dr Mudenta Rita Bridgwood cooks for the Afrika festival weekend at Brisbane Powerhouse on Sunday March 12. Mudenta Rita will cook two styles of goat for the day, a roast and a stew. She says that even though she cannot give away the recipe, she will give away a few of the ancient secrets to cooking the perfect goat. ‘In truth there is no exact recipe because a large part of African cooking is improvisation, but I will share tips that have been passed on over generations from women in my family,’ Mudenta Rita said. The Zambian-born chef grew up watching her mother and stepmother cook for their entire village to celebrate coming-of-age, weddings and visits from outsiders. For bookings and info visit www.brisbanepowerhouse.org and click on the Afrika PasiďŹ ka banner.

‘ITALIA SI, Italia no, una pizza in compagnia!’ Omero used to sing to me as we worked the stoves, though never beyond that one refrain. A pizza in company sounds so jolly and cosy, suggesting the reverse in solitude – and yet a pizza in solitude was what I enjoyed every Friday night for quite possibly a year in my innercity Sydney days. Old Castille was my outlet of choice and their pizzas were magniďŹ cent with toppings way ahead of their time – for all I know they still are. Well before the advent of thin-crusted pizzas with funky toppings, this company was offering the most creative and gorgeous combinations to grace their plump and puffy bases; their inexplicably named French one, consisting of fresh rosemary, thinly sliced potatoes and a punchy salami, was particularly splendid. A restaurant called The Edge opened just off William Street, and gave way to the vogue of thin crunchy crusts and increasingly ambitious toppings. By the time tandoori chicken arrived, things had got seriously out of hand. Starting out life as humble street food, pizza began as bread dough stretched and baked till crisp and sold with nothing more than olive oil and salt on top. In the late eighteenth century, allegedly, a sweet red strain of tomato was developed around Naples in southern Italy, giving rise to a fancier version of pizza – the Napolitana remains to this day one of the more popular types of pizza in its classic simplicity. A calzone is a pizza folded over to form a yeasty envelope for its ďŹ lling – and I wish more places offered this variation on a theme. Puncture its puffy pastry and you may catch the exhalation, like a tiny sigh, of fragrant steam as your meal deates before your eyes. Next time you happen to be in Florence, ask to be directed to Yellow in the heart of town where the calzoni come stuffed with a hot and spicy sausage and molten mozzarella. Everyone in the world now makes pizzas – it seems you may dispense with the essential ingredients of wood-ďŹ red oven and pizza chef, or pizzaiolo, whose doughstretching talents were learnt from generations before him. Pizzas made at home in domestic ovens are rarely successful because the intensity of heat is not there, although placing them on a pre-heated

ceramic tile will improve their crisping ability considerably. Franchises abound and invade. Yet sometimes one discovers a really good pizza in a place most unexpected. Liz Jackson out at Luscious, her snug little eatery at the Byron Arts and Industry Estate, has a loyal following for her gorgeous ones with their modest range of toppings, whipped out of her cafe’s centrepiece, the wood-ďŹ red oven. And at the Buddha Belly Cafe at the Crystal Castle I sat outside under a big white umbrella with a postcard picture of lush hinterland before me and mountains rising mistily in the distance and shared a fantastic pizza of quite perfectly roasted fresh beetroot, pumpkin, tomato ďŹ eld mushrooms, pesto and cheese, on a meltingly soft outwardly crisp light and lovely base. And this is the thing. In my best pizza experiences, the crusts have had substance and volume, and a presence as valid as what adorned them. And invariably enjoyed more vigorously in company.

Sports Roundup with Alex McAuley Hard Core win for All Above Board

Monique hopes for a medal in Melbourne

Lennox Head’s All AboveBoard surf team have 10,000 reasons to celebrate after winning Quiksilver’s second annual Core Store Surf Challenge held in perfect one to one and a half metre offshore waves at Snapper Rocks on the Gold Coast. The Lennox team of Dan Thomson, Carly Smith, James Wood (pictured above) and Noel Graham teamed up to overcome six other

Mullumbimby’s Monique Nacsa is once again revving up for the Commonwealth Games, having competed in Manchester four years ago. Her passion for athletics started at the age of five when she joined Little Athletics in Mullumbimby competing in the hurdles, long jump and discus. At about 13 years old, she realised that she had a particular talent for discus throwing, and decided to ‘give it a go’. She was talent spotted by a coach in Brisbane at 15 years old, and when she reached 16, she left Mullum for Brisbane to concentrate on her sport. Having competed in the world juniors in 1994 where she finished eighth, and the Goodwill Games in 2001 where she also ďŹ nished eighth, she is really hoping for a medal in Melbourne. ‘Two years ago I ďŹ nished in the top 50 in the world, which I was really pleased with,’ said Monique. ‘At the moment, I think I’m about

teams from around Australia and New Zealand to take out the whopping $10,000 ďŹ rst place prize. In the 45 minute tag-team style ďŹ nal that sees each team member ride just two waves, with all scores counting towards a combined total, the Lennox team stormed ahead of runner’s up to ďŹ nish on a staggering 56.63 points, nearly 17 points clear of their nearest rivals.

James Wood, the 2003 world junior champion, was the undisputed standout competitior for All Above Board, easily locking in the highest scoring waves of the ďŹ nal with the same panache that has seen the 19 year-old scale to the top of his class as an individual performer. His near-perfect 9.67 out of a possible 10 was the clincher on a day that saw great rides from all the other teams.

Byron Bay athletes win a record number of medals

Successful Byron Bay athletes showing off their swag of medals, pictured from left to right: Tayla Redhead, Tim Knight, Petra Goodall, Jasper Goodall, Niki Baltakova, Isabelle Redhead, Simon Knight and Indigo Rawson–Smith.

A team of 22 young Byron Bay athletes travelled to Ashmore Stadium on the Gold Coast recently for the annual Zone Athletics Intercentre Games. Eleven clubs from the Queensland South Coast and Northern Rivers took part, with athletes competing

for selection for the Queensland State Championships. Some of the top young athletes in Queensland and Australia were there and it brought out the best in the Byron Bay ‘Hogsbreath’ team, with almost everyone recording personal bests. The

club is thrilled that a record nine Byron athletes won a total of 14 medals and selection to the State Championships in Townsville. Niki Baltakova blitzed the ďŹ eld in the U9 high jump winning the gold and jumping 4 cm higher than her closest rival. She also qualiďŹ ed for the 70m sprint and 60m hurdles. Tayla Redhead ran a very close third in the U10 70m sprint, missing out on silver by only two hundredths of a second. Petra Goodall beat the U11 girls 400m qualifying time by an amazing three seconds to win the silver medal; Simon Knight fought brilliant long distance races to win silver in the U11 boys 1500m and bronze in the

1100m race walk. Clea Pratt ran creditable third places in both the 60m hurdles and 200m sprint in her age group, both well under qualifying time. Tim Knight qualiďŹ ed for his fifth consecutive state championships in four events. He is currently ranked third in Australia for the long jump in his age group and he blew his competition away winning gold by a huge margin of 89cm. He also won gold in the U13 boy’s triple jump by 42cm. He won silver in the 80m hurdles beating inside qualifying time and ran a PB in the 100m ďŹ nal of 12.79s to win bronze. Indigo Rawson-Smith competing in her ďŹ rst zone championships won an amazing three U14 girls bronze medals in high jump, 80m hurdles and 200m hurdles; Amy Buchanan beat the qualifying distance in the U14 triple jump by 7cm, and Sequoya Rawson-Smith qualiďŹ ed for the U9 boy’s shot-put. Although U7 and U8 athletes don’t compete at state level, it was great to see our champions of the future doing so well at Ashmore, particularly Aisha FairburnHarwood who won both the U7 girls 100m and 200m sprints. Congratulations to all 22 athletes who represented Byron Bay at the Gold Coast for showing excellent sportsmanship all weekend while having lots of fun, and the best of luck to all those who will compete in Townsville at the state championships.

sixth or seventh in the Commonwealth, but I may be higher, I’m not completely sure. My personal best throw is 59.91 metres, and to really get noticed on the world stage I need to break through the 60m barrier, which I hope to do in Melbourne.’ Juggling an intense training program with full time work is very demanding,

however Monique says she is lucky to have some support from the Queensland Academy of Sport and lots of support from her parents. ‘Mum and Dad help out so much,’ said Monique. ‘After Melbourne I hope to get a crack at the Beijing Olympics, so I should have at least another two years of competing in me!’

Top tailor catch at Seven Mile

-/.4(,9 -!2+%43

Some really good tailor were landed last week before the rains came, with plenty of ďŹ sh in the two to three kilo range taken, and occasionally a larger beast coming in. The best catch, from Seven Mile Beach, was Byron Bartley’s 4.458kg whopper, which equates to 9lb 14oz. Some good ďŹ sh were also around the rocky points such as the Peg, Flat Rock, and the river walls taking pilchards. Bream, dart and whiting were also about in good numbers, with the whiting best from the Broken Head area, and bream off Lighthouse beach. The river was the pick of locations for jewďŹ sh, with a few ‘schoolies’ around the CBD and smaller ‘soapies’ up towards Wardell. Cape Byron, Brays Hole, and Jew Point all ďŹ shed well for them prior to the big swells which basically closed these spots. In the creeks, bream and whiting have been the dominant catch, with mud crabs again starting to appear after the flood. With last weekend’s rain bringing dirty water down the river system again, it is hard to say what conditions for ďŹ shing will be like there for a while. There have been few reports from offshore, with the main area of activity being down south towards Evans Head. Marlin to 70kg and some spotted mackerel were mentioned as having been taken down that way.

Sports Roundup with Alex McAuley North coast juniors take off with TFI

These talented young soccer players from the Far North Coast have been selected by the Futbol Institute (TFI) for their touring teams following eight weeks of trials last year. The boys will be playing in the Dana Cup to be held in Hjorring, Denmark and the Gothia Cup in Gothenburg, Sweden in July of this year, followed by a trip to the UK including games with English clubs. Natalie and Danny Chatterton (not pictured) will play in the Kanga Cup in Canberra in early July. All the players are very excited about the opportunity to participate in these tournaments overseas and would be delighted for any sponsorship to help them in their endeavours. Please call Marty Brennan on 0437 475 407 or Bernadette Pollard on 6687 7412. For more information on TFI contact Michael Cook on 0438 171 292 or Digby Reed on 0433 766 237.

Wild weather brings Quiksilver Pro to a halt

Byron rugby union Matt Alexander introduces us to some of the club’s peculiar wildlife. It has long been known that the better a rugby player is, the more odd his nickname will be and this is no better illustrated than by Byron Rugby’s own Wombat. Otherwise known as Michael Lecce, Wommy has led Byron Bay on and off the field for the last few years and has always managed to inspire his team to greater heights. Well known for battling on with only one good leg, a five star hangover, several cracked ribs and a head that can only be described as well lived in, Wombat is always the first onto the field and last off it. With many new players having joined the club this year they will be able to learn at the feet of one of the club’s and zone’s oldest and best players both on the field, in the bar and on the bus. Anyone who would like to learn from and play with the master Wombat at Byron Rugby contact Matt on 0437 656 984.

At the substantial vote several ALP members opposed the motion and it went to a vote.
