Water carriers up in arms over Rous Water price hikes Alex McAuley The trebling of water costs and changes to water cartage arrangements have left local water carriers up in arms. Last year, Rous Water took over from local councils as the regulating authority on all water filling stations after problems experienced during the last extended dry period. Wayne Franklin, Operational Services Manager at Rous Water, explained that there were numerous complaints during the last drought about water carriers’ practices and what the water was being used for. ‘People were concerned that truck loads of water were being put into swimming

pools and bought for businesses when there was such an extreme water shortage, and that it would impact on those who really needed it,’ said Mr Franklin. ‘There was a problem with water carriers filling up anywhere they felt like, often without paying for the water. They were also filling up outside residences at all hours of the day and night, leaving a muddy mess behind them. ‘We [Rous Water] consulted with all the local councils and it was agreed that we would assume authority over all water filling stations in order to better regulate water usage.’ The cartage companies,

however, are surprised by the extent of the changes, which they claim will have a huge impact on those relying on tank water should we experience another long dry spell. A spokesperson for one company explained that the number of designated filling stations has been cut back dramatically. ‘Previously, there were seven filling stations in Byron Shire, however now there are only two: one at Tyagarah and one in Bangalow,’ she said. ‘That represents a considerable increase in our fuel costs when we have to travel longer distances to fill up. Those increases will have to be passed on to the customer.’

Tributes flow in for King of surf

An outbreak of peace

Furthermore, with the revoking of the standpipe licences, the cartage companies will be using a new swipe card system which means that every time they fill up, they will be automatically charged on their credit card. In a long dry spell, this could represent up to six or seven transactions in a day, which will in turn mean increased bank charges. The most significant change, however, is the per kilolitre cost increase that came into play on March 1. It was anticipated that the price would rise from $1.10 per kL to $1.89 per kL, however it has in fact increased to $3.10 per kL, a whopping 182% rise. ‘We’ll have to pass on all those cost increases,’ said the spokesperson. ‘It will mean that the cost of filling an average tank will go from about $90 to as much as $150 or $160 depending on

Regional strategy has vision but no teeth

Tributes have been flowing in for respected surfer and Byron Bay resident Ben King who died unexpectedly on Sunday March 12. One measure of the man’s popularity is the overwhelming quantity of flowers sent to his home which have been fashioned into over 30 wreaths by friends. Around 300 bags of flower petals will be scattered over the ocean in remembrance of this special man during the paddle out from Main Beach this morning (Tuesday) by friends and fellow surfers. The paddle out will be followed by the funeral at St Finbarrs Church in Byron Bay at 2pm. Ben King’s son Kurtis (second from the right) with fellow Byron Bay Boardriders Club members Ed Riordan, Bryce Cameron and Paul Sullivan, took out time last week to visit Cosy Corner, which held a special place in Ben’s heart as his favourite surfing spot.

Lesley Patterson Created to manage the Far North Coast (FNC) Region’s future development patterns, the Draft FNC Regional Strategy has been widely criticised as a toothless tiger since its launch last week. Ballina MP Don Page said the Strategy lacks substance and detail and failed to address the region’s infrastr ucture needs, environmental groups have said it leaves the doors wide open to continued ad hoc sprawling development of the region and a group of prominent local residents

have said the document needs more work. The Strategy, which was produced by the NSW Department of Planning, predicts over 60,000 people will be moving to the Far North Coast over the next 25 years representing a 26% population increase. If current trends were to continue, around 75% of the region’s future additional housing would be located east of the Pacific Highway, says the strategy, leading to fur ther pressure on infrastructure and sensitive environments. The Strategy aims to counter this by

concentrating most of the growth into existing urban areas and restricting new urban development areas. In a letter to NSW Planning Minister, Frank Sartor, a group of local citizens representing the Northern Rivers Regional Development Board, the Social Development Council, the Northern Rivers Urban Design Awards and the Small Business Advisory Council has called for major changes to the plan. ‘You have set out the vision, however the lack of detail and implementation continued on page 2

measures in the draft strategy means that the vision outlined is unlikely to be achieved,’ it says, going on to ask for ďŹ rm guidelines for developers to follow and clearer plans for the provision of future infrastructure. The Total Environment Centre, which was involved with the early community consultation on the plan, says the ‘draft is not the future we’ve been asking for. It downplays many environmental considerations such as biodiversity. It allows development to occur beyond strict growth boundaries. And many of the good planning principles in previous plans and strategies for this region are gone.’ ‘The draft Strategy fails to deliver on many of the key fundamentals for this region - that is, protection of our biodiversity, our world-class environment, our landscapes, our coastlines and not at all least, our communities,’ said TEC Far North Coast regional planner Valerie Thompson. One person who has applauded the plan and what it delivers for Byron Shire is Mayor Jan Barham. ‘I think the document in terms of a long term vision does address core guiding principles for

the region and takes on board a lot of work that was done during the Northern Rivers Regional Strategy. For Byron Shire there has been a recognition that we are an important tourism area and can’t afford high population growth,’ she said. Cr Barham says she supports the Total Environment Centre’s calls for better map-

ping to include environmental and hazard restraints and says there are some questions over the land release areas for Lennox Head, Ballina and Evans Head, but overall is positive about the Strategy. Byron Shire’s local planning documents will not be superseded by the Strategy, she said and development will be governed by local

then we can review the situation,’ said Mr Franklin. ‘In the past, the cartage companies have been buying water from us below cost; we’ve increased the price to cover the cost of the water and the cost of the upgrade of the ďŹ lling stations. However, if people do experience signiďŹ cant problems with the cost increase, they should write to us and let us know. It is not out of the question for some of the water costs to be subsidised, but the freight costs are beyond of our control.’ Complaints should be addressed to the General Manager, Rous Water, PO Box 230, Lismore 2480.

how far away from the designated ďŹ lling station the tank is. It will be a major ďŹ nancial strain for some people, and water isn’t something you can live without.’ Mr Franklin agreed that the price increase was signiďŹ cant, but pointed out that it only represented an extra $10 or $15 on every truck load of water. ‘The rest of the increase will be freight costs, and we’ve tried to spread the ďŹ lling stations out so that there won’t be excessive distances to travel, however if this turns out not to be the case,

The Autonomous Regions Coalition (ARC) has been formed to research options and generate discussion on the best ways to achieve and maximise local autonomy in Australia, starting with the Northern Rivers Region of NSW. The ARC was to be formally launched at the Clunes Coronation Hall this Tuesday at 7.30pm.

Garth Kindred will deliver a brief presentation on why we should more vigorously pursue regional strategies and solutions, and seek to somewhat radically revamp our system of governance. The ARC also calls for the formal recognition of local government in the Australian Constitution and for it not to be under state control.

Armed robber shatters peace The Bangalow Pharmacy was the scene of an armed robbery late last Thursday afternoon when a man carrying what appeared to be a hand gun approached Denis Lee, owner of the pharmacy, pictured right, and demanded that he hand over the contents of the cash register. ‘Some of my staff noticed the man prior to the holdup and thought that his behaviour was a little unusual,’ said a remarkably composed Mr Lee the morning after the incident. ‘He was looking around the shop, then came over to the counter, pulled a mask over his face and drew a hand gun. He gave me a bag and told me to ďŹ ll it with cash from the register.’ Mr Lee explained that the man was wearing a light blue shirt with a fire brigade sticker on the arm, so when he pulled the yellow stocking over his face he thought it was a practical joke. However, after the hand gun was produced, Mr Lee realised that he was deadly serious, so

he complied with the gunman’s demand while at the same time thinking about how he could help provide information to the police. ‘Once the cash register was empty, the man left the shop and ran towards the hotel carpark,’ said Mr Lee. ‘I followed him at a prudent distance and made a note of the description and licence plate of the car he drove off in.’

The car, which was later identified as stolen, was found a short distance away in a side street and had been set alight. Sgt Mark Harris from Byron Bay Police said that the suspect was described as Caucasian, about 170cm tall, weighing about 65kg and somewhere between 35 and 40 years old. This is the second armed

robbery in Byron Shire in only two weeks after the Summerland Credit Union in Ocean Shores was held up late one Friday afternoon. Police are uncertain whether the incidents are related and urge anyone who may be able to assist them with their enquiries to contact Byron Bay Police on 6685 9499 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Maca farmer aims to be more earth friendly Bangalow macadamia grower Rex Harris has adopted a farming method which is kinder to Mother Earth, uses less pesticide and prevents erosion. Rex is encouraging wildlife on his farm by restoring wetlands and rainforest and installing nestboxes for owls and insectivorous bats. These approaches, combined with monthly bug checks as part of an integrated pest management program, have helped him greatly reduce his pesticide use. Controlling erosion in his macadamia orchard involves the use of soil fungi and

smothergrass. Rex reshaped the soil between tree rows to form a shallow central drain, and applied organic products to stimulate soil fungi to stabilise the soil. He then laid strips of sweet smothergrass turf across the interrow (the space between the rows of trees). The turf strips run across the slope of the drain and trap any soil eroded from under the trees. Eventually the smothergrass will expand to cover the whole inter-row. Rex’s innovative management will feature in a free ďŹ eld day at his property, Piccadilly Park, on Friday morn-

ing, March 31. A group of experts will lead a farm walk to inspect the erosion control works and look at the use of integrated pest management and promoting of biodiversity on the farm. On hand to answer questions and discuss the strategies used on the farm will be Kim Jones from the Australian Macadamia Society, DPI extension ofďŹ cers Kevin Quinlan and Abigail Jenkins, TAFE lecturer Allan Coates, Stephanie Lymburner from Land for Wildlife, Johanna Kemff from Richmond Landcare and Mark Dunphy from Firewheel Rainforest

Nursery. To attend the ďŹ eld day please RSVP by March 28 with Lee Bridges at NSW DPI on 6626 2200 or email leanne.bridges@dpi.nsw. gov.au.

New LEP: population implosion or explosion? Lesley Patterson Depending on who you listen to, Byron Bay and Suffolk Park are facing a population cap or conversely a doubling in the current population size. The debate about the repercussions of the draft Byron Bay LEP is beginning to reach farcical proportions with completely

opposing claims being made by different lobby groups. Anonymous advertisements in the local press claim the ‘LEP is effectively a population cap with no place for our children or the elderly’, this week local environment group BEACON revealed its calculations which put the growth at 100% increase on

current levels. ‘This is not a population cap, it is a population explosion,’ reads BEACON’s advertisements. Byron Shire Council staff have consistently claimed that they have planned for a 30% population increase and the LEP reects this, however, former Shire president and local businessman Oliver

Dunne believes the LEP does not contain enough housing data or population statistics for such claims to be made ‘A person looking at the draft Byron Bay LEP cannot make any claim with certainty as to whether it will generate future population growth or not. The study lacks any current analysis of Byron Bay population statistics and is mainly based on the 2001 Census data which appears not to have been updated. The make-up of the current Byron Bay housing market is largely ignored and there is very little analysis of household makeup, existing housing types and preferred choices or current rental markets statistics,’ Mr Dunne told The Echo. ‘Council is also releasing new urban residential land at Belongil Fields West Byron which could contain a population of around 500 persons if single dwellings are developed or around 800 to 1000 if the developer chooses multi unit housing. In comparison, Sunrise Beach Estate was approximately 240 blocks, which produced 400 residences and a population of over 1000. Despite being the biggest land release in the Byron Bay area since Baywood Chase, it is not

possible to gauge what impact Belongil Fields will have on the demography of the town as no hard planning data is provided in the Study.’ BEACON’s Dailan Pugh says he has spent days doing his own analysis of the LEP, counting the number of housing lots and what the level of development the draft LEP will allow. The introduction of garden ats throughout all areas, the continued growth of the CBD and subsequent shop-top units, new land opened up for development and the potential number of dual occupancies has led Mr Pugh to believe that maximum future population growth could vary from 80-120% on current levels. He also points to new land releases at Belongil Fields,

Crosbys Caravan Park and West Sunrise totalling some 500 dwellings plus the Becton proposal for 174 holiday units. Mr Pugh says he can ďŹ nd nowhere in the LEP or accompanying studies where a detailed supply analysis has been done, nor how Council staff ’ arrived at its 30% increase ďŹ gure. Oliver Dunne is calling for a housing supply analysis to be done now. ‘I would suggest Council should do this work ďŹ rst and then everybody will be in a better position to understand what the real impacts are. This is particularly so for the benefit of the Councillors who will have to make some very hard decisions in trying to produce a balanced planning outcome acceptable to the community at large,’ Mr Dunne said.

Buttery man takes his ďŹ nal ight The Brunswick Valley Butterfly man has spread his wings and left us for his ďŹ nal resting place after 95 years of making this world, and Mullumbimby in particular, a better place. Vic Richens died peacefully in his sleep last Tuesday morning March 14 after a long and active life followed by a period of decline after his wife Veta died in 1998. Born in Yass Junction, Vic spent much of his childhood moving from town to town before settling in Murwillumbah where he worked the family farm. After meeting Veta on a tennis court, they married and moved to Mullumbimby where they raised their five children Merv, Coral, Veta, Trev and Nev. He worked variously as a banana grower, avocado grower and dairy farmer before ‘swapping’ his banana farm for the milk run in town. It was on the milk truck, an old 1928 Chevy with running boards on the side, that most of the young lads in town learned to drive. Vic had a strong sense of community spirit, and was involved in all manner of local organisations from the Banana Growers Federation (BGF) to the Mullumbimby Sports Association; from the District Scouts to Rotary. He loved his sport and organised boxing tournaments in the School of Arts during WWI to raise money for the soldiers. As a primary producer, he was not allowed to enlist,

that he had done enough, particularly for the butteries. His son Trev recalls that it was only near the end of his extraordinary life that he accepted the enormity of his achievements. ‘I said to him “Dad, the seeds that you have sown with your family are the values you have passed on: honesty, sense of community, a good work ethic and love of family, those things are priceless and will stay with us forever,’ said Trev. ‘I think in the last few days of his life he actually started to hear me.’

much to his disappointment, so this was his contribution to the wartime effort. He prepared the grounds for the basketball courts and hockey ďŹ elds later known as the rec grounds; organised to clear the area for the old swimming club at the end of Dalley St in the Brunswick River; was involved in the building of the Riverside Tennis Court and procured the old bowling club house for the much needed scout and guide hall. However, it was for his work with Rotary to save the butteries that he will be best

remembered. It was his dream to turn the Brunswick Valley into the butterfly haven of Australia, and in collaboration with Rotary raised money to purchase of hundreds of plants in order to establish native habitats for the butteries, the Richmond Birdwing in particular. It was his brainchild to give all the local schools a number of these plants so they could grow their own buttery gardens, a project that was extremely successful. Despite such an enviable list of achievements, Vic was never completely satisfied

Michael McDonald ‘I have really enjoyed abusing owers,’ says Byron Bay artist James Guppy. Over the years Guppy has pierced owers with sharp hooks, transformed them into human body parts and turned them into sea monsters rising from the deep. This is all in acrylic paint on canvas. No actual ora are harmed in the making of his rich symbology. Now for his latest exhibition of 16 works Guppy has set owers loose in cloudcontorted skies. A dark iris broods in the air like some malevolent raptor waiting to swoop, a squadron of orchids sweeps through the clouds like a pterodactyl hunting party. Called Aerial Blooms, the exhibition is on at Jan Murphy Gallery (janmurphygallery.com.au) in Fortitude Valley, Brisbane, from March 31 until April 22. James takes the word ‘aerial’ to also mean out of the imagination, a definition the Shorter Oxford agrees with. ‘The paintings ver y obliquely refer to what’s going on,’ says Guppy, thinking of the apocalyptic nature of our times. ‘They ask, “What’s coming at us?â€?, there is something in the air.’ So what is it with Guppy and owers? A handwritten note attached to his studio wall, dominated by big canvases of the mysterious blooms, gives some clues: ‘Rational flowers can be found in vases. Irrational owers rise from the oceans, emerge from the clouds. Rational owers are decorative, they appear in wallpaper, embroidered on napkins. Irrational owers are decorative, they appear in tattoos, carved on headstones. Rational flowers are safe, irrational owers bleed, they are given to the dead.’ We can be pretty sure James is not plumping for the rational ower. ‘I ďŹ nd [paintings of] traditional owers in

a vase really boring,’ he says. ‘Such a clichĂŠ destroys the flower’s beauty, a clichĂŠ means you can’t see the real thing.’ An intriguing mix of intensity and affability, Guppy is a painter’s painter, an artist who loads the surface with subtly visible technique and multiple meanings. His realism slips cunningly into surrealism before your eyes. His work is informed by the centuries of artists before him and yet as fresh as the clouds

he spotted that day on his morning walk on the beach. And even more fortunate for the aspiring artist and collector, he is effortlessly eloquent about the artist’s life. (You can get more of his story at jamesguppy.com.) He is consumed by the artist’s perception of the world and cannot separate himself from it: ‘It is so much a part of who I am.’ And yet, like other artists and actors and writers, he ďŹ nds himself getting depressed when a cycle

of work comes to an end and yearns to get on with the next series: ‘It’s almost always not good enough but otherwise you would stop trying [to be better]. It’s a form of masochism. ‘There are moments of elation – otherwise you couldn’t keep going – but you pay for those moments.’ It is almost as if some predatory ower of the imagination has swept down and made away with the artist’s mind.

Cat rescuers hope to win over public Pets For Life is a cat rescue charity staffed entirely by non-paid volunteers. ‘We understand why some people see cats as pests and we don’t disagree, in fact we would prefer not to need to exist. However, we are actually countering the damage cats do to the environment by reducing the number of cats out hunting in the wild,’ said a spokesperson for the charity. ‘We trap and socialise feral animals, seven feral kittens alone were trapped last week. They have now all been or are being socialised, one already has a new home. Mother cat was also trapped and desexed.’

Pets for Life desex and microchip all the animals that come into their care and screen all potential adopters to ensure that the cats won’t become strays again. ‘We are a non-euthanasing group and are often the last hope for many cats across a wide area. We take in strays, including cats that have ended up in the Council pound and would otherwise be euthanased. We reunited

one stray with its owner two years after it went missing.’ Recently the organisation had the grim task of rescuing eight cats from a deceased estate in Casino which other charities were unable to take in and could only euthanase. All of this good work means Pets for Life are always in need of money, volunteers and good homes. Pets for Life is having a cat adoption and volunteer recruitment day complete with sausage sizzle, raffles and a band at the Billinudgel Hotel, this Sunday at 2pm.

Local News T-shirt protest over LEP

65 /+-2

65 /+-2

Story & photo Louise Beaumont Red is more of a traditional antagonistic colour than green, but not in this instance. A bright green Tshirt is being sported by some business owners and their staff in the Byron CBD. The project of local business owner Dan Beck, pictured above, the conspicuous Tshirt bears the message: ‘NOT HAPPY JAN – A Message from the Byron Business Community’. Dan, of the Byron Jewellers Workshop says, ‘Many local business owners, including myself, have been unimpressed by the present council for some time, but I was prompted to produce the Tshirts when I read the draft 2006 Local Environment Plan (LEP). Jan Barham is trying to keep the tourists out of Byron, but the fact is, we need them.’ A self-declared greenie, Dan agrees measures need to be taken to protect our local environment but feels the draft LEP is way too harsh. He believes that the decrease in trade is a direct result of Jan Barham’s direction of council. Ed O’Hearn of the Byron 5-Star and the other members of the Byron Bay Business Group agree. Ed says, ‘We as a representative group of the Byron business community are very unhappy with the proposed LEP. There are lots of elements to it that don’t suit business owners, it’s frightening.’ Dan and the BBBG estimate that some local businesses get 70-80% of their trade from tourists. They are concerned that the poor turnover seen this summer is only the beginning of quiet years to come under the Barham council. Some business owners say that with the increases in land tax and rent, the cost of doing business is enormous and it is a struggle to stay aoat with the current tourist numbers. They believe any further

decrease in tourist numbers will threaten the existence of some local businesses who rely on the summer trade to get them through the quieter winter months. Jan Barham suggests there is a more appropriate way to raise issues and voice genuine concerns than through a T-shirt slogan. Jan says, ‘It seems to me that those “not happyâ€? demonstrate a lack of interest in and/or understanding of the broader issues that affect us as a nation, not just as a business based in the “Byron Bubbleâ€?. I don’t adhere to the concept of increase in growth no matter what, ignoring important external factors; I am trying to manage sustainable growth for this community and the environment that supports us. ‘Council is currently involved in a marketing campaign for NSW tourism, contributing ďŹ nancially to the NSW Tourism brochure. I am working to inform and attract the kind of tourist that appreciates what the Shire has to offer. In my eyes, the irony of the “Not Happy Janâ€? drive is that it only fuels the notion that Byron is not tourist-friendly via the broader media. The negativity is driven by just those who are trying to attract business.’ Not all businesses support the T-shirts and their stance, and as reported in The Echo, the public NYE debrief meeting held in February could be described at worst as uneventful and at best positive. A large proportion of attendees agreed that less than perfect business over the summer could just as easily be a result of a nationwide general retail downturn as reported by the Chamber of Commerce, an increase in petrol prices causing a reduction in day trippers to the area, and/or the arrival of several new shops that immediately increased competition for tourists’ business.

Comment

Bomber lost in the swamp Vol 20 #43

March 21, 2006

Teeth needed for strategy Reading planning documents is only marginally more interesting than watching paint dry, however, their importance to the future development of our region cannot be overstated. Just as we were getting our heads around the plan for Byron (the draft LEP), the state government last week launched the plan for the entire Far North Coast (the draft Far North Coast Regional Strategy). Over the next 25 years, according to the boffins from NSW Planning, the region will experience a 26% population increase or another 60,000 people. Over the same period, South East Queensland is projected to grow by 1.1 million people, a change the strategy says will significantly influence the economy for the NSW Far North Coast. As land prices rise in Queensland, planners predict we will see people moving from the Gold Coast over the border into NSW for the ‘lifestyle, and more affordable housing and business locations’. Faster travel along an upgraded Pacific Highway is also likely to lead to a greater population increase and while it will undoubtedly deliver more turnover for north coast businesses, it will also put greater pressure on the environment and regional character. Byron Shire’s severe environmental constraints and pressure from Byron Shire Council has seen our area tipped for the lowest rate of population growth in the Strategy. Whereas Ballina, Tweed, Kyogle and Richmond Valley Shires are forecast to experience over 50% growth, Byron Shire’s predicted population increase is 19%. The vision painted in the Strategy reads well. To ease pressure on the coastal fringe restrictions will be placed on development east of the Pacific Highway with no land released for development other than that already identified by councils’ existing planning strategies. To encourage development west of the highway, land has been highlighted around Casino, Kyogle and Lismore for future residential and commercial expansion. To discourage urban sprawl, a third of future housing will be allocated to the existing regional centres of Tweed Heads and Lismore and Ballina has been targeted for development as a major regional centre. However, the release of the strategy last week attracted a raft of criticism from various corners, most of whom accused the document of providing a vision, but lacking the teeth to enforce it. New land release areas around Tintenbar and Lennox Head have caused concern, with the Total Environment Centre saying their inclusion in the Strategy could send developers the message that they have the green light, when important environmental studies have not been completed. The barrage of calls for a greater level of detail and accountability from the Strategy will hopefully force the state government into making substantial changes. However, the Far North Coast should brace itself for a change in pace over the next 25 years as the attractions of our climate and environment draw an even greater crowd.

P

oor old Kim Beazley must be feeling even more than usually confused after the weekend state elections. On the one hand, as a loyal Labor man he will be pleased that fraternal governments have been returned in South Australia and Tasmania with a minimum of fuss. The results bring Labor to an impressive record of 19 straight wins in all states and territories and confirm the party’s grip on government at this level. Equally, they point up the mess the Liberal and National Party organisations have got themselves into. With no rewards for their followers for many years in the past and none in sight for the foreseeable future the state officers are having a lot of trouble holding the interest of the rank and file. Foot soldiers to stuff envelopes, man polling booths and even buy raffle tickets are becoming thin on the ground, and this shortage may affect the conservative’s campaign at the federal level as well – although obviously it hasn’t in the past. The Bomber has at least some grounds for satisfaction. But, as always seems to be the case with federal Labor these days, there is a downside. For starters, Beazley himself can claim no credit for the victory and has wisely not done so. (Although, preposterously John Howard has, boasting that it was his miracle economy that put the state premiers on the path to victory. On this basis Alan Greenspan, former boss of the US Federal Reserve, should be considered the real architect of Howard’s last three wins). Beazley, backed up by the state leaders, claims that Howard’s coming industrial relations onslaught was an

influence in turning voters away from the conservatives, a claim Howard rejects. But even the most optimistic in the Beazley camp (and there aren’t many left) acknowledge that the state victories cannot be taken as a sign of hope for the feds. Indeed, they may even work the other way: there is at least some anecdotal evidence that voters rather like an each-way bet – one party in charge of the state government and the other in power in Canberra. If this is the case, Beazley’s prospects look bleaker than ever.

The signs are that he is rapidly moving into the territory Simon Crean used to occupy, a sort of political Limbo where no one is listening and nobody cares. by Mungo MacCallum But perhaps the most wounding implication from the weekend is a personal one: if every other Labor leader in the country can be a winner, why not Kimbo? True, Mike Rann and Paul Lennon were competing against pretty dreary opponents, but how else would you describe Howard? At least Rann can boast a kind of populist charisma which makes him a bit of a voter magnet, but even Lennon’s own troops refer to him as a Stalinist with a silly moustache, unsavoury connections and a pretty halfhearted commitment to the job.Yet he storms home while the amiable and diligent cleanskin Kim Christian Beazley wallows in a swamp of disapproval, unable to gain any political traction. It’s just not fair. And of course it isn’t, but

leadership role: Crean has had his chance, been judged a failure and discarded. Yet such is the state of the party that his absurd and divisive claim is taken at least half seriously. And as always when things get really messy, the call for a Messiah goes up, even if the only realistic candidate for the job is Kevin Rudd.With some reluctance, the commentators are starting to take the possibility seriously. Rudd, they agree, may be unctuous, prissy, self-righteous and smug – the kind of teacher’s pet who never quite grew out of it. But he is immensely knowledgeable, the hardest working member of the front bench, a man dedicated to a change of government. He has been the one making all the running in the wheat for weapons debate; Beazley, who promised the

most ferocious and forensic attack in parliamentary history, has been reduced to a sort of junior counsel. While Beazley bumbles about Howard and Alexander Downer engaging in misleading and deceptive conduct, Rudd stands up and calls them liars – not once but (just in case you missed it) 16 times. He has fire in the belly. And after all Bob Carr was also a nerd – a sports-hating, book-loving intellectual who made no secret of it, but who became New South Wales’s longest serving premier. And then there was Gough Whitlam... Phillip Adams has formally endorsed Rudd, a sure sign that the bandwagon is well and truly under way. Rudd himself is publicly saying nothing, which is sensible; while he obviously wants the job he may prefer to wait until after the next election rather than accept what appears to be a hospital pass before it –although he would probably use the more cultured term ‘poisoned chalice’. Beazley is under no immediate threat, but the state elections have done nothing to improve his position. Indeed, how tenuous it is was shown in a bizarre footnote to the weekend: Paul Lennon announced that the priority for his new term would be aboriginal reconciliation. This is an area Beazley has completely vacated, seeing it as a distraction from mainstream issues. And he’s probably right: but this does not make it any less compelling. And now it has been revived by the junior premier of the smallest state, and the only one that succeeded in wiping out its full bloods. At least someone’s still interested in the big picture.

politics is all about opportunity, and it appears that Beazley’s has passed him by. The signs are that he is rapidly moving into the territory Simon Crean used to occupy, a sort of political Limbo where no one is listening and nobody cares. The mere fact that he feels the need to respond at all to Crean’s incredibly arrogant demand for a partnership suggests that he has now reached a stage of desperation. While Crean has a point about the need to bring factionalism under control, he has absolutely no right to demand a

Terrorist nature

Mullumbimby

Terrorists have no interest in the lives of the people they blow apart. Similarly, when there is a policy of non-negotiation with terrorists, there is no interest in what the terrorists’ grievances are. Both groups maladjustedly function by depersonalising the people they are dealing with. They deserve each other. Geoff Dawe

Lot 107 questions Jenny Coman, you may consider that Lot 107 is â€˜ďŹ nally laid to rest’ (Letters, March 14) but are the residents supposed to bury any hope of getting sportsďŹ elds? The only way to try to get a sportsground was to take Council to court! This bizarre situation has come about only because Council seems totally unable to get anything done. What have the residents of the Ocean Shores area got? Nothing but their rates expended on seemingly end-

lessly consultants’ reports and still no facilities. You state that Lot 107 was not designated as sportsďŹ elds; on Council’s website (ordinary meeting October 24, 2000) I read, ‘Lot 107 is currently classified as a sportsground. This is also the classification in Council’s land register.’ If you believe this is not the case then what was the site purchased for? Why did Council, not once but twice, pay for a consultant to prepare a plan of management (as a sporting facility) for this site? If you never intended this site to be a sportsďŹ eld when you were a Councillor, where did you plan to provide sporting facilities for the greater Ocean Shores area? Maybe you considered the small sportsfield at New Brighton sufďŹ cient to meet the recreation needs of a population in excess of 5,000 but did you ever ask the resi-

snake problem until late in the afternoon. If the snake had been a brown snake and not a carpet snake I would have had to close the centre. Such a closure would have inconvenienced all families and a large number of local businesses, as they would have lost a staff member for the remainder of the day. Surely as a community we can support George, perhaps we could have Council allow him access to a suitable vehicle. Per head of population this would be a small contribution. I for one would gladly pay to have anyone other than me (yes, I’m not too brave where snakes are concerned) remove a snake from my home or business. I believe George’s services is an essential service for our community. Lyn Barnham

Dog dangers Claire Lovejoy’s letter last week was probably the most offensive I’ve ever read in The

Echo. Claire, perhaps you’d like to explain the joke to a 12 year old member of my family who is terriďŹ ed of dogs after being attacked several times, most recently by a bull terrier while simply walking home from school. He escaped serious injury on this last occasion when local householders, who didn’t get the joke either, beat the dog away with garden implements and got him safely into their house. Unfortunately, he now has to deal with ‘that terrifying few moments’ (sic) you laugh about every time he is approached by a dog. Hilarious stuff! Perhaps you could ‘roll on the ground laughing’ while you explain your theories to the families of the young children and the elderly who have been killed by dogs in this country in recent years. I’m sure they weren’t laughing when they rolled on the ground. In the Medical Journal of Australia, the South Australian Health Commission estimated that in 1991 30,000 (yes, 30,000!) Australians presented to hospital after dog attacks. (Remember the vast majority

of bites go unreported!) By far, the biggest percentage of victims in their study were children under four years old with over 90% bitten on the face or head. It’s a pity those

kids hadn’t ‘got the guts to calmly walk away’ before they were mutilated. You laugh about the dangers of terriers, yet last year on Harry’s Practice, the Maltese terrier was

listed as probably the most unsuitable dog to have around the house due to its vicious nature. Remember, a terrier is a very big animal compared to a two year old. People who

Do not force uoridation of water upon us Q Re the uoride survey article. Seems like I am not alone in smelling some bullshit. So 60% of residents want uoride? Since when have residents been able to choose what chemicals everyone else should ingest? Perhaps 60% of Byron Shire residents might choose that some other substance should be put in the water supply to make us feel happier. Would that be signiďŹ cant enough to warrant dumping Viagra, Ecstasy, Prozac or Ritalin in everyone’s water supply? I wonder what Rous’s public liability insurer says about the blanket uoridation of the water supply, and are they aware of the risks, or is it also enough for them that some people who are entirely ignorant of the issue answered questions in a phone survey conducted at bizarre times. One wonders what the questions were, and who framed them. Certainly people informed on the issue would ask very different questions and provide very different results than what we saw in this survey.

There is a really good article on this, Debunking Fluoride: Cavity Fighter or Toxic Intruder? at www.mothering. com/articles/growing_child/ child_health/uoride.html. There is no way that force feeding uoride to everyone is a good idea. The science does not add up, particularly when most kids drink bottled, ďŹ ltered or rain water and very few drink town water from the tap. Why then put uoride in our water just to wash cars or water gardens with, and then presumably, to ultimately enter the ocean? Subsidising uoride tablets is another option, but that also does not work. Check the research, especially that done by neutral bodies. The real issue is kids drinking Coke and sweet sodas that eat the enamel of teeth that cause decay. Better to legislate against those than add another poison to our diet. Alok O’Brien

Mullumbimby Q The recent survey for support of fluoridation con-

tained among others the following question: (1) Do you agree with adding uoride to water to try and prevent tooth decay? What a loaded question. Of course people would like to see something implemented to try and prevent tooth decay. The questionnaire contained no questions such as: 1. Are you aware that virtually the whole of Europe has banned compulsory uoridation of water on the grounds that it’s inappropriate to enforce compulsory medication, especially when the side effects are unclear? 2. Are you aware babies fed bottled milk using tap water are almost certainly going to massively exceed the recommended dose? 3. Fluoride tablets are cheap. Not uoridating water does not prevent taking such tablets, and you will get the exact recommended dose this way. 4. Fluoride in water has been linked to cancer, osteoporosis, genetic changes and

other health problems. Those arguing its dangers include a recent winner of the Nobel Prize for Medicine, so it’s a bunch of real serious people with serious concerns. See www.nofluoride.com. Not just a bunch of whingers like the ADA would have you believe, serious scientists. Read 1 again. A whole continent too concerned over the dangers to do it. 5. The uoride compound placed in water is chemically very different to the trace amounts of uoride that naturally occur in water, and it’s far more toxic. The ADA who did this survey does not even note this on their website. 6. Fluoride is a waste product of many processes, and companies who produce such waste, seek to dump it into our water, rather than have to otherwise deal with it. Public water is for drinking, not for forced medication. Fluoride should be a choice. A survey showing 61% of people voted for uoridation of water tells me that 61% of

Byron Bay Q Fluoride in the water? Why? ’Cause some people can’t take the time to brush their teeth properly? I’ve never used uoride in my life, and after 32 years had one ďŹ lling and all my original fangs intact. It is outrageous to even suggest uoride in the public drinking water; where is our freedom going? So many of us choose to say no to uoride cause of the effects of longtime use. To me adding it into our water is contaminating the water – and if this happens, I’d just like to let you know you’re starting a war. I will refuse to be passive while my human rights are ignored. I will revolt and so will the rest of the free people still awake around here. Watch out, don’t push me over the limit! Enough is enough! A Dahlstrom

The cultural cleansing of Byron Shire? Q For years there has been occasional holiday renting. In the mid nineties, people moved out of rental premises over summer. While inconvenient, many people, generally on low incomes, were able to have a home for eleven months. Why do people consider it a right to buy a residential zoned house and turn it into a tourist facility? Buy into an industry, you buy in a commercial area, get a DA, pay appropriate contributions to council and commercial rates. Others have gained legal status. Is this ‘theft of business’? Council has had to deal with an ongoing lack of integrity. Resources have addressed illegal tourism development ruining the quality of life of residents, putting visitors at risk and making Byron a joke, high prices for poor standard accommodation. This impacts on Byron’s popularity. We are a tourist shire. People are attracted to uniqueness. Years have been spent campaigning to protect the natural environment and oppose inappropriate development. That is ‘money’ in the ‘community bank’. Investors, some locals, cash in on culture. I own a second house and rent it permanently at a fair rent. I could have holiday let. Isn’t it enough that Byron is nationally valuable real estate? Low cost housing equals artists and musicians, equals colour, means tourist attraction equals business. How thick are our burghers of Byron that they cannot see the equation that created a tourist Mecca? The value of community is often deďŹ ned as social capital, not a dollar value but a value immeasurable and unique. On the wane, globally, is a sense of belonging to a vibrant, caring community. Currently we have sociopolitical cleansing. Holiday letting has changed the character of our community.With 500 houses out of the rental market, add houses taken by the SAE property buy-up for student accommodation. Sale of residential properties for tourism has inated value, increasing difďŹ culty for residential homebuyers. Result – disrespectful holidaymakers and those who seek to make money while depriving people of ‘neighbourhood’. Some politicians relish this process. A vigorous campaign by business and a diminished progressive vote (economically induced) will see a Howardisation of Byron Shire. Be warned! A community on the south

coast is taking legal action against the council for not guaranteeing their right to live in a permanent residential area. Fiji and Hawaii have local only, tourist no go residential zones. In coastal towns in Wales houses which are holiday let have been burnt down. This speaks volumes about how fervently people feel about their right to live in community. Ian Cohen MLC

Broken Head Q I hope it is not just Cr Tabart that reads The Echo. As far as I can see, only Maggie Brown thinks Council is doing a good job! Now that the moratorium is off, I realise you had to do something to stop development, cap the population and make welfare our number one industry.However, a Draft LEP is not the usual way to do this. You must hate the light green Councillors, who tried to get their friends the right to go on holiday and let their homes at New Year and Easter?. The eight week compromise is just not on. If neighbours experience some people making money this way, they go dark green – with envy. Tom, you obviously do not like bosses and workers.They rarely vote green, expect Council to supply things like a bypass and say Muriel’s Wedding type stuff like, ‘You can’t stop progress.’ Well, you will show them. If the LEP gets up, Byron will return to the halcyon days that existed after the meatworks closed. There will be plenty of room at The Pass and we will all live in a green paradise. Tony Narracott

Byron Bay Q How many gourmet hamburger/pizza, imported clothing, and Balinese wares does a town really need? How much tourist accommodation can a town bear? Some shire councils do welcome business with open arms. It’s their priority to write and bend rules to bring money into their dying towns. I suggest the ‘Not Happy Jan’ business people might like to relocate to western NSW or Queensland, or even the Gold Coast where they may well get the status they believe they deserve. Byron probably more so than any other Australian location other than the Gold Coast gets a very good share of the tourist dollar almost year round. Byron is certainly one of Australia’s hottest commercial and investment locations, however, it should never come with the guarantee that all comers will strike gold – that’s the Gold Coast’s

and Southern California’s claim to fame. It’s the environment and social amenity that are under the heaviest pressure in Byron. Our Mayor’s, Councillors’ and new Byron LEP’s job is surely to protect us from destroying the place we love. I am privileged to have run a business for the last 14 years within this community, and it has been hard and frustrating at times. I wish the ‘Not Happy Jan’ business people all the best in ventures elsewhere. Garry Scott

Myocum Q Last week, I took the trouble to read the draft Byron Bay Plan and Study. Personally, its left me even more convinced that the holiday letting issue is a beat-up and in the Plan as mere distraction, just as Howard and Blair run news stories as a distraction from other more unpalatable news, such as the Iraq wheat scandal. It’s called spin. What this LEP actually does is downzone virtually the entire urban area of Byron Bay to single dwelling status, full stop. The little areas shown as medium density are just about all fully developed. This is the interesting story about the draft LEP and probably one of the political miscalculations that may undo it in court when it’s challenged. The only new land to score medium density is the Belongil Fields site, which gets its own Special Uses Zone. When you go to the Zone to try to ďŹ nd why and how it is special, it’s not! It’s a residential zone, full stop! It is almost equivalent to the other new Living Zones except the developers must devote 20% to welfare rental housing (or so Council and the planners hope). According to the Study, the land will yield the equivalent of 220 single dwellings but the developer can get the density even higher through multiunit development. You then ask the question: why was it necessary to zone it Special Uses, particularly when the developers themselves requested Living Low Density at the meeting I attended last year. A bit of delving reveals that if Council had zoned it residential, they would have been caught by the requirements of the North Coast Regional Environmental Plan that requires Council to maximise the densities in the existing zoned areas before releasing new raw land for residential uses. The Greens did not want this so they invented a subterfuge of Spe-

cial Uses zoning to get around the REP. What we have here then is a pretence, a sham. Zone it anything but residential and we don’t have to comply with the Regional Plan. Nice try, boys and girls. I have no problem with upgrading the zoning of the Belongil Fields site per se. But I do have a big problem when it’s done at the expense of all the other more appropriate existing zoned urban residential land in Byron Bay which is now about to suffer huge drops in values as a result of the removal of its medium density potential if this Plan were gazetted. This is daylight robbery affecting hundreds of landowners who own larger blocks in Byron Bay and Suffolk Park, nothing less. (Before you reach for your pen, it does not affect me). What’s worse, is that this week, the Minister launched a new Planning Strategy for the Far North Coast which will effectively force this Council or the next one to undo this LEP whether the Greens like it or not. Whatever people do they should not sell their properties to avoid this LEP. Even if the Greens manage to slip it past Minister Sartor because of some sneaky political preference votes deal they have with ALP head office, it will have to be repealed very quickly. Instead, everyone affected should take the time to sit down and write to Frank Sartor and request him to order an inquiry into the LEP so we get to the heart of the matter and make Council do it properly next time.

Q Many issues have emerged during the debate on holiday letting in our residential areas. I believe some are worth revisiting and looking at with absolute clarity, particularly now that we have an extension until April 7 for our LEP submissions to Council, imposed on us by vested business interests. The fundamental issue is proďŹ t interests versus community interests. Some rather simple questions emerge: Do we still want to have a cohesive community? Do we want to live next to people who will help their neighbours in times of need, who have children going to school? Do we want residents who care about our environment, volunteer their time to help the needy, the aged, dune care, trafďŹ c committees, who raise funds for the hospital etc? Or do we just want rows of houses without souls, owned by people who don’t live there and just pack them full of strangers, a new set every few days?

The local economy needs tourism.Yes, tourists support the local economy. Yes, they support local businesses such as surf shops, trinkets and gift shops, restaurants etc. But that support won’t stop just because we are moving a small number out of our residential areas into other parts of the town, where they don’t impact, that’s all. Ample accommodation does exist and will be added to in the future, including B&Bs, managed apartments and so on. Whatever the outcome of the LEP, one thing needs to be absolutely clear: Any business, and holiday letting is a business if undertaken longterm, should be rated like any other business, should be subject to Council’s approval processes, inspections and regulations. Have your say and write to Council before April 7, and say no to holiday letting in our residential areas. Peter Wegner

RLPB rates subsidise animal farmers Laurie Stubbs Rural Lands Protection Board rates pay for services used by cattle farmers. That’s true in Tweed Lismore area and across all Board areas in the state. So, Russell Preston (‘Landholder defies unfair tax’, Echo, March 14) has around 50,000 mates in the same hole he’s in – statewide! Small landholders east of the Dividing Range mostly have nothing to do with animal agriculture. They are lifestyle and dormitory blocks, village margins and

The new grab ropes in many without the option, and without any democratic discussion. There has been no consultation with landholders, and the Ministerial decision (under the Regulations to the Act) is final. It’s a take without the option, done quietly so as not to disturb the non-farming community. Most small land-

holders don’t know the score and they’re prone to say, ‘It’s only $50, not worth making a song and dance about.’ It needs only some retired QC who’s gone ‘farming’ and resents the RLP rates to get the whole deal in front of the High Court. The definitions of ‘excise’ have shifted somewhat in the last several years and if the High Court agrees the RLP rate is an excise, then it will be thrown out. The Commonsense Lands Group says that landholders’ present recourse is to the local NSW parliamentar y representative. A big number

of minimum ratepayers have always resented the rate. This fresh rate impost could be the trigger so that the newly liable ratepayers, and the old resenters, get together. In Tweed/ Lismore minimum ratepayers are around 60% of the total so they have the numbers. However they must use those numbers directly with the local Board. And at the same time objectors should send copies to RLPB State Council, and local members. Ballina MP Don Page knows about the rorts, as do most of the parliamentary representatives. But most are

reluctant to stir the possum. The Farmer’s Association is dead set FOR the RLPB system. Hardly surprising; if the system weren’t there the farmers would be carrying the costs. Alternatively they might be arguing the toss for more funds from an already cash strapped state government. The RLPB system is all about servicing animal farmers – vet services, stock identification, disease prevention and control, and more. Despite the name, Boards have no function to ‘protect the land’ except from diseases and problems which affect

So on behalf of myself, all the mothers, babies, children and elderly, in fact all those frail people of Byron Shire, I would like to declare all public spaces in Byron Shire as places on the register of people and beings (let’s not forget the animals and flora) that are sensitive to the highly toxic (toxic as it kills living things) chemical RoundUp. Furthermore I would like the council to erect warning signs when they are using this toxic chemical so that we the public can at least avoid these areas (not some little insignificant advertisement in the back of another local paper). Although it is a shame other creatures can’t read also. If the council can’t see fit to do this maybe they can notify myself or the Byron Environment Centre so that we can go and erect warning signs for those sensitive people in Byron Shire.

I am writing on behalf of Byron Ballina Greens in answer to A Cookson’s letter in The Echo (March 14) and give my sympathies to him or her. I would like A Cookson to know that The Greens are in support of small local businesses and appreciate that they are the commercial backbone of this community. There has never been any sanctioning of any of our members ‘to make notes on all Byron businesses’. Nor do we, as Greens, make predictions as to what will or won’t happen on New Years Eve. There is plenty of energy and good will focussed on working that one out. We are well aware that there has been significant drop in takings in many of the small businesses in this town, and we support the Council working with the community to develop a win-win tourism policy which meets the needs of small businesses and the wider community.

Our Mandy War on peace. Our Mandy has hit the nail right on the head. We cannot live in peace even within our own families in many cases. In my lifetime I have been on many committees and Mandy’s description of their antics is spot on. The problem of course is human nature, which has been flawed ever since Eve gave Adam the fruit. So how can we overcome this problem without global genocide? There is a solution naturally or I would not be writing.The answer can be found in that four-letter word – love. There is no better description of love than that found in the Bible. Read 1st Corinthians chapter 13.Then remember it is guaranteed to work. However it may prove difficult until one discovers the secret. This is an individual thing and it means we all need to change our personal ways (me included). By way of suggestion it would probably mean Mandy ridding herself of the vulgarity in her art and writings. But it will be a great step in the right direction for true peace, and not a blow struck.

LEP TO DROWN BYRON IN FLOOD OF DEVELOPMENT, TRAFFIC & SEWERAGE Since 1998 Byron has been through a lengthy Settlement Strategy process that identified sufficient new development for a 30% increase in the population of

Byron Bay, Suffolk Park, Sunrise Beach and Ewingsdale. The Settlement Strategy proposed adding a further 1,080 dwellings and 325 garden flats. The Settlement Strategy proposed a moratorium on releasing new land for development until after Byron’s chronic traffic problems are fixed. The Sewerage Plant is now in the process of being upgraded to specifically cope with the Settlement Strategy’s projected population. The level of new development proposed is in line with what is needed to satisfy the population targets of the Regional Strategy until 2031.

The Draft Local Environmental Plan (LEP) allows enough development for a

100% population increase. In addition to the development proposed by the Settlement Strategy, it proposes to add an extra 1,200 dwellings as infill in residential areas, allows for a potential tenfold increase in garden flats (one on every lot), and releases land at Belongil Fields for some 220 dwellings, Crosby’s (Byron Tourist Park) for 150 manufactured homes, and West Sunrise for up to 130 dwellings. In addition to this there is Becton’s proposal for 174 ‘holiday units’ now on exhibition.

IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT? This is not a ‘population cap’, it is a population explosion! Some people say this is still not enough, they want more. High density residential houses and garden flats packed with tourists – is this your vision for your neighbourhood? If they get their way our elderly and children would not want to live here – would you?

IF YOU THINK THE TRAFFIC IS BAD NOW – YOU WAIT WE MAY BE ABOUT TO SOLVE OUR SEWERAGE PROBLEMS – BUT NOT FOR LONG

BYRON IS ABOUT TO GO UNDER FOR THE LAST TIME PLEASE HELP SAVE IT BEACON urges you to make a submission on the Draft Local Environmental Plan for the Byron Bay Area, and mention some of the following points: • Limit development to be compatible with the intent of the Settlement Strategy, the limitations of the upgraded sewerage treatment works, and the expectations of the recently released Regional Strategy; • Implement the Settlement Strategy’s limits on dwelling densities, dual occupancies, multi-unit housing and garden flats in residential areas; • Maintain the existing LEP prohibition on holiday letting in residential areas. • Implement the Settlement Strategy’s proposed moratorium on zoning of land for increased development until after Byron’s chronic traffic congestion and car parking shortage problems are rectified.

• Account for the future consequences of global warming in all aspects of the planning process, particularly when identifying flood liable land. • Extend environmental conservation zones to encompass all wetlands, rainforests, and endangered ecological communities. • Establish buffer zones and appropriate controls around all streams, wetlands and estuaries as part of helping to restore them to healthy and viable systems

• Retain the ability for Council to make Tree Preservation Orders. • Undertake the hazard and environmental assessments required by the Regional Environmental Plan before rezoning lands. • Maintain a diversity of tourism accommodation types.

• Limit new residential development adjacent to Arakwal National Park and native bush.

• Prohibit subdivision and strata-titling of Becton, Byron at Byron, Arts Factory and Rainforest Resort sites and limit development potential of Becton and Byron at Byron to what is already allowed.

• Maintain Byron’s scenic values by appropriately constraining development in all visually prominent areas.

• Maintain existing caravan parks for low cost housing and holidaying, with no subdivision or strata-titling.

Send your submission to General Manager, Byron Shire Council, PO Box 219, Mullumbimby 2482, by 7 April 2006. Your future depends on it.

BOYCOTT BECTON SUBMISSIONS Becton is proposing to develop a 431 bedroom resort, in the form of a 174 unit residential suburb, on the outskirts of Byron Bay. This is the site where in the early 1990’s the Byron community managed to defeat a 416 room tourist resort proposed by Club Med, and in 2003 a 379 ‘holiday home’ development by Becton. To avoid ongoing fights over outrageous resort and residential development proposals, Byron Shire Council adopted a Development Control Plan (DCP) for the site early in 2005 to limit development of the site to 250 bedrooms. Late last year the NSW ALP Minister for Planning decided that he would deny Byron Shire Council the right to determine Becton’s development and do it himself. Before Becton’s plans were exhibited he introduced legislation into parliament which gives him the right to over-ride Byron Shire Council’s DCP and potentially approve Becton’s 431 bedroom development.

Having taken away our rights, the Minister is allowing us to make written submissions to him. There seems little point as he has apparently already made up his mind to over-ride Byron’s planning controls. The NSW ALP already put us through a farcical public exhibition process for Becton’s Masterplan. That time the community spent considerable time and resources in generating 3,800 submissions opposing the development, only to find out that the plan was legally invalid and we had wasted our time. The NSW ALP has repeatedly refused to apologise for that farce, and instead are blaming Byron Council for delaying Becton’s development.

BEACON IS CALLING UPON PEOPLE TO BOYCOTT THE NSW ALP’S ATTEMPTS TO SUCK US INTO ANOTHER USELESS PROCESS. Authorised by BEACON Inc (Byron Environmental and Conservation Organisation), PO Box 445, Byron Bay 2481.

THE NSW ALP HAS TAKEN AWAY OUR RIGHTS AND MADE THIS PROCESS POLITICAL. Minister Sartor thinks he is safe from our entreaties tucked away in Parliament House. Though the NSW ALP has a local branch and a representative on Council who should be held accountable. Please write to Councillor Ray Kestle, Byron Shire Council, PO Box 219, Mullumbimby 2482. Email: cr.ray.kestle@bigpond.com ASK THE BYRON BAY BRANCH OF THE ALP TO: 1. Publicly state their support for the democratic right of Byron Shire Council to implement proper planning processes to establish development limits in Byron Shire. 2. Give an assurance that the NSW ALP will endeavor to ensure that the Development Control Plan for the Becton site is not over-ridden by Minister Sartor.

Eco-friendly burials in shady green places Robyn Lynch-Mills Recycled cardboard cofďŹ ns and freeze-dried body disposal were discussed at the ďŹ rst public meeting to establish a Natural Death Centre in Byron Shire. Local celebrant Zenith Virago and a team of community members are driving a proposal for a centre that offers alternatives to conventional funeral practices and cemetery options to those currently available regionally and nationally. One of the main aims of the Natural Death Centre is to inform, advise and assist people who wish to have a more personalised and ecological funeral that reects their individual lifestyle, philosophies and spiritual beliefs. Zenith made it clear at the outset that the meeting was not about euthanasia. Individual members of the Natural Death Centre team gave an overview of various eco-friendly burial options that are available in other parts of the world. As part of the global wave to embrace more natural processes, as has happened with natural childbirth, the centre would offer alternatives to institutionally controlled funeral and burial practices for a more natural and ecological

approach to dying and death. Low energy consumptive processes of body disposal such as liquid nitrogen freeze dr ying which reduces remains to a cup size of granules, along with biodegradable cofďŹ ns, are some of the more affordable and ecologically sound options currently on offer in Sweden and England. The Centre plans to maintain sustainable, non-pollutant internment practices that also reduce the impact on valuable resources. Natural burials incorporating organic processes of decomposition on reclaimed and regenerated land would replace traditional ďŹ elds of headstones with shady, reforested memorial parks. The proposal for a Natural Death Centre is in step with a recent New South Wales parliamentary inquiry into the funeral industry. The Council of Social Services NSW (NCOSS) instigated the inquiry in 2005 on behalf of pensioners and disadvantaged people and revealed overpricing and misconduct in some parts of the industry. This was partly due to a growing concentration of ownership of Australian funeral services, mortuaries

An episode of the TV show Six Feet Under highlighted eco-friendly burials when Nate Fisher was interred without embalming or casket.

and crematoria by a large corporation that has replaced traditionally family owned ďŹ rms. The consequence of this monopoly in the industry has led to rapid price increases and at times, irregular practices. The inquiry has also revealed the rising prices of internment spaces, particularly in our metropolitan areas and pointed out the necessity of planning systems to ensure sufďŹ cient space for cemeteries in consideration

of the increase in our aging population. Mayor Jan Barham spoke enthusiastically at the meeting, saying that current demographic research is indicating a population growth of 30% in the next 20 years for the Shire. She also highlighted the need for Council to respond to resultant issues of care and death in the community. Mayor Barham said that there might be obstacles in the creation of such a centre in the Shire due to land restrictions and

state and federal regulation. She noted, however, that Byron Shire was already an important place for life rituals such as marriage and birth and that death as a natural part of life, had signiďŹ cant ritual attached to it. Mayor Barham also shared her own dream of an alternative death centre that would be representative of the unique characteristics of the Shire. Our local Amitayus Hospice Service gave the proposal its full endorsement

seeing the centre as a complement to their established service of providing care for those who wish to die at home. Representatives from the Ballina and Lismore funeral industr y also expressed their support for innovation in the funeral industry and pledged regional cooperation to deal with legislation and industry regulations. Environmental concerns were discussed and everyone agreed that careful ecological and environmental consideration needed to be made in the plans for a Natural Death Centre. In the true Byron spirit of things, Zenith concluded the meeting with the suggestion for a National Day of the Dead to replace the imported Halloween with the inaugural celebration to take place in various communities of Byron Shire. Mayor Barham backed the suggestion by adding that Byron Shire could well lead the way in enhancing current funeral practices and providing green resting places for our deceased loved ones.

Mullum CTC bridges the generation gap Some days, raising teenagers is like ďŹ ghting a battle. On a recent Friday night, the parents of the Youth IT Gamers Club (PANDAS) got to cross swords with their children in cyberspace. By special invitation, parents attended the regular Friday Gamers night to partake in free gaming lessons and an opportunity to employ various weapons against their offspring. They were then subjected to a typical Gamers night meal of pizza and orange cordial. (With gratitude to Buon Apetito for their support). Good fun was had by all. March 3 was the ďŹ rst statewide CTC Day, and Community Technology Centres all across NSW showcased the various services and products available to their communities. According to the centre’s manager, Di Christie, ‘A considerable part of the success and energy at the Mullumbimby CTC comes from the remarkable group of youth members that attend “Panda-moniumâ€? every Friday night to share some time together and kill each other.’ (We presume she means virtually.) The CTC has been running now for over three years, and offers members of the community a multitude

of low-priced technological services, such as high speed internet access, CD burning, converting vinyl LP’s to CD, scanning, colour and black & white printing, free access to the NSW government website, personal assistance with all the above and lots more. For information about CTC, call 6684 6768, 9.30am – 5pm, Monday to Friday, or drop in at the corner of Burringbar and Gordon Streets for a chat with one of the friendly volunteer staff. CTCs across NSW will be

in fundraising mode to assist in raising money for community programs within their local centre through a statewide major fundraising rafe launched in March. The rafe includes three prizes in voucher format allowing the winners to choose what they like from their local stores with ďŹ rst prize being $2,500 of electronics, second prize is $2,000 of travel and third prize is $500 worth of petrol vouchers. Tickets are $2 each or three for $5 with all proceeds assisting the centre going

towards the provision of future community programs. The rafe will be drawn on April 18 with winners being notiďŹ ed by mail and notices placed in the Sydney Morning Herald on April 20. If you are looking for information about NSW government services CTC provides free access to the NSW government portal. The NSW government website www. nsw.gov.au, is the one-stop entry point where you can ďŹ nd information on government services, pay bills to government departments or access your HSC results.

Fantasy tail a reality for Hannah Local resident Hannah Fraser’s childhood dream has become a career. Keeping her vision over the years, she now travels the world to exotic locations being filmed and photographed as a mermaid. Hannah painted mermaids before the age of 3 and continues creating mermaid art to this day. At age 9 Hannah made her first mermaid tail out of orange plastic material. The waterlogged tail helped her develop strong dolphin-style swimming. In 2002 she created her second mermaid tail, a fully functional tail much faster than her childhood one. The unusual construction was a plastic boomerang, two coat hangers, flippers and a lot of duct tape inside wetsuit material. Hannah began underwater filming with local filmmaker Martin Selecki, who suggested design improvements. After much research and development the third tail was born. Martin included Hannah in his documentaries for the Belongil River Rehabilitation and The State Fisheries Dept. Next she swam the clear blue waters of Hawaii with Jack McCoy’s surf film Blue Horizon, starring Hannah’s husband, Dave Rastovich

and Andy Irons, pro surfers. Visits to the coral gardens of Fiji produced spectacular underwater stills by Billabong photographer for USA surf magazines. The next year Dave filmed the mermaid footage for Life Like Liquid, a surf/music film premiering in 2007. Hannah’s Mermaid Model website (www.hannahfraser. com) launched this week featuring film clips and photos from a range of locations and photographers. Although fashion modelling for over ten years, her greatest passion is to embody the mythical creatures of her dreams in

photos and film. Being a professional photographer gives Hannah expertise on both sides of the camera. The challenge of being a ‘professional’ mermaid requires graceful movement while holding the breath in a constantly shifting environment, hindered by blurry underwater vision and swimming in a costume that binds the legs together. A high level of confidence and practice under water is essential. Regular yoga sessions and breath control enable her to extend flexibility and lung capacity. Hannah’s enthusiasm isn’t dampened by the dangers

that mermaid filming entails. A recent shoot found her manouevring onto slippery rocks being pounded by crashing surf. The big wave that made the best photo also wiped her out, dragging her across the sharp rocks. ‘I love the challenge, and feel free and expressive while underwater,’ she says. ‘I think there has been a dreamtime when mermaids were part of our reality. But with the technological age, we’ve lost touch with that. I’d like to help awaken people to their personal experience of creative play, where the lines of fantasy and reality blend.’

Youth go kayaking

Staff of Cape Byron Kayaks accepted a certificate of appreciation from young people involved in the Byron Youth Service Mentoring Program. Cape Byron Kayaks recently made a group of young Byronians very happy by donating a fun-filled ocean kayaking trip worth over $1,000 to the Byron Youth Service (BYS) mentoring program. Highlights of the trip included close sightings of baby dolphins and riding waves off Little Watego’s. If you are interested to find out more about the BYS Mentoring Program call mentoring coordinator Rosalie Bryant at BYS on 6685 5694 or email mentoring@bys. org.au.

Improved business profits are a load of rubbish Lesley Patterson Samala Hogg is a self confessed waste nerd. Rubbish, particularly other people’s, is her passion, so much so that she recently spent weeks rummaging through the garbage bins of a Byron Bay business. Employed by the North East Waste Forum, an organisation whose charter is to reduce the amount of rubbish going to tips, Samala conducts free audits of businesses to help reduce rubbish and save money. ‘You have to have a strong stomach or you couldn’t get the results otherwise,’ says Samala, who has analysed the garbage produced by Byron Central Apartments. There is no clean way to analyse rubbish. Samala and her helpers rifled through rubbish bins, sorting half eaten hamburgers and food scraps into buckets, pulling out bottles and cans which should have been put into recycling bins and identifying ways in which the serviced apartments could produce less trash to start with. ‘Most businesses can learn a lot more about their general resource waste and where they can save money simply by looking at their rubbish,’ says Samala.

Scott Wanchap, the manager of Byron Central Apartments, estimates that the changes Samala has recommended could save as much as $260 a year and were ‘as simple as pie to implement’. Barely used guest soaps,

single serving UHT milk containers and disposable dish cloths featured heavily in the rubbish bins at the apartments. Staff have now replaced small wrapped soaps with liquid soap dispensers, changed over to

washable and therefore reusable dish cloths and feedback from guests indicate that the introduction of small cartons of locally produced milk has been a good move. Worms have also moved in to the apartments

to help reduce the amount of food scraps. Individual vegetable waste bins have been put in each apartment kitchen with instructions for guests about the onsite worm farm and how it helps the environment.

‘I was surprised at what could be achieved. The ideas Samala came up with weren’t obvious. Several other apartment managers have been contacting us to follow up and find out what they can do,’ said Scott Wanchap. ‘One of the main savings was implemented by Samala when she identified that most of the garbage was actually cardboard so she suggested getting rid of the waste trade bin and replacing it with a cardboard recycling bin (much cheaper and less waste). ‘We’ve had a dramatic drop in the contamination of our waste by providing separate bins within each unit for recycled waste and land fill waste whilst also making it very clear what could be recycled and what shouldn’t be,’ adds Scott. Businesses have their hands full with day to day activities and finding ways of reducing rubbish is often not a priority, even though it can mean improved profits. The North East Waste Forum, which is funded by five Northern Rivers councils, offers a free service to help identify waste reduction opportunities and can be contacted by calling Samala Hogg on 6685 8016.

1. Jamie Bell (seen here with the ever watchable Julie Walters) is superb as a working class boy who discovers ballet is his passion in Billy Elliot (TEN, Friday, 9pm). 2. Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman create as much sexual tension as a toaster in Kubrick’s ďŹ nal awed outing Eyes Wide Shut (NBN, Saturday, 11pm). If you want real interplay, rent Shainberg’s Secretary, in which James Spader and Maggie Gyllenhall burn up the screen. 3. Fellini is right on the money in his satirical depiction of provincial town life in 1930s Italy in Amarcord (SBS, Monday, 1.10am). Those interested in politics might like to see Hired Assassin: Political Cartooning in Australia (ABC, Monday, 11pm) before the sport is outlawed.

The Wright stuff for children’s music Mandy Nolan Driving with small kids in the car can be torture. To break up the ‘he bit me’, and the ‘stop her leg touching my leg’ shrieks from the back seat you end up playing ‘I Spy’ with the spelling challenged. ‘I spy with my little eye something beginning with p’. Turns out to be an elephant. Don’t even ask, it’s very surreal. Only Salvador Dali could win that game. Then there’s the Wiggles CD. After three renditions of Wake Up Jeff I thought I was going to fall asleep at the wheel. Ever wanted a CD for your youngsters that you could get some enjoyment from as well? Local musician Rochelle Wright has put together Jambu Tree, a collection of original songs especially for children that the

average adult can enjoy as well. Makes that trip to the Big Banana one big happy sing along. Brunswick Heads based Rochelle is a mum of two children, 5 year old Yasmin and 18 month Leila. Making the transition from stage to sink can be a little traumatic for a lot of us performing mums, but like so many north coast creatives, she has used her experience for ‘good’ rather than ‘evil’! For the past three years Rochelle has conducted Sing by the Sea in Brunswick Heads, a music program for under school age children. This has been the major source of inspiration for the Jambu Tree Project. Rochelle Wright plays music with her children Yasmin, left, and Leila. Photo Jeff ‘Xylophobic’ Dawson ‘I wanted to get the CD out that parents can listen to down to them, that isn’t age theme each week, it might be I want music to be a normal and enjoy that isn’t talking speciďŹ c – a lot of adults buy counting, or outdoors – we part of kids life.’ Singer/songwriters usually keep the rhythms pretty it as well,’ says Rochelle. Sure they’re popular, but basic. Once they are two or write about love gone bad or more serious adult themes, the Wiggles style of music three they really catch on.’ Children deďŹ nitely enjoy childrens’ music requires can be pretty patronising to kiddie sensibility. Rochelle music, but what are the real staying in touch with more of life’s simple pleasures, and agrees, and she assures that developmental beneďŹ ts? ‘Music is great in so many sometimes involves recalling Jambu Tree is a Big Red Car ways, getting in tune to give those evocative moments of free zone. ‘I don’t really like the Wig- them that conďŹ dence. Music your own childhood, as gles‌ what I do is different. is not just for performers, it Rochelle does in ‘Trusty At the music class I do a helps language development. Rusty Bike’.

‘I love nature, and being outside, there’s a song on the album called “Outsideâ€?. A lot of the songs are inspired by nature which was an exciting part of my childhood... the evocative songs from when I was a kid were like Puff the Magic Dragon‌ and Stevie Wonder! ‘I made the album with a friend in Sydney, Rob Shannon. We had talked about it for a year or so because we were both running kids classes. I’d been planning it for a while. ‘I was pregnant for most of it and when Leila was a little baby I was singing and recording when I was holding her.’ Rochelle is a student of Indian music and an accomplished tabla player. Jambu Tree could be the only children’s album that features tabla alongside acoustic instruments like guitar! Music for your children, and the child within. For enquiries about the album and music classes, phone Rochelle on 6684 3371. CD orders can be placed on the website www. jambutreekids.com.

Rolling the bones

AN INTERVIEW WITH BONEYARD’S MATT HARTLEY AND JEZ. Interviewing Matt Hartley is a bit like telling Jamie Oliver how to cook. In fact, I think Mr Hartley would be more comfortable in the interviewer’s chair! No passive question answer rallying here, like the band that he fronts, Matt is ďŹ ercely and courageously opinionated. And I know he would hate me saying that. But it’s true. It’s a passionate quality that can be initially intimidating but has you wondering why the rest of the world isn’t as equally engaged. Matt protests: ‘There are many things of which I am uncertain – I don’t talk about them stridently, I don’t go public until the opinion is formed... in Boneyard we are fortunate enough to be conďŹ dent people with some strong opinions.’ Opinion and passion can be easily confused with anger, something Matt’s encountered on numerous occasions. ‘Some people say: ooh you’re angry – but they’re only looking at one bit and usually it’s the part of themselves that they can’t handle.

You have to get it out and live it and realise what it is. If I am writing letters about John Howard in the paper it’s not that I am angry at him. I feel sorry for him. When I see someone driving a 4 wheel drive down the road... I see someone who is destroying the future of his grandchildren. I’m not angry with him, I’m just expressing an energy – I just feel very sad for them.’ For Boneyard, the musical experience is like having a Sunday picnic on the dark side. ‘Jez pointed out to me how funny Nick Cave is, and he’s as funny as hell if you don’t take him seriously... I think what Boneyard is about, is the thing that rises out of a lot of blues and a lot of traditional music and that is infused into rock and roll. An appreciation of the things that are essential in life which includes the darkness which much of entertainment avoids, most of entertainment only focuses on the bright side. True art needs to focus on the light side and dark side, people see metal or blues as being too negative, which isn’t true, it does both, which is very life afďŹ rming. ‘Historically many many people have had a very bad time and from

this arises an energy and if you take that energy and utilise it it becomes very life afďŹ rming.’ So great art occurs with balance? ‘If you dwell in just the dark you’ll end up with Nick Cave murder ballads (the only Nick which brings disparaging comment from Matt) or exclusively in the light you end up with Danni Minogue.’ ‘Music is like sex, sometimes it’s romantic and beautiful and sometimes it’s aggressive and dark and you bite and scratch and say stuff

and the ďŹ ne people who follow music here have – shown support for the type of thing we do so they afďŹ rm what we do.’ Singer/songwriter Jez steps back from his solo spotlight in Boneyard as lead guitarist. That’s two pretty feisty energies, add that with an eclectic line up and the occasional exploding drummer and you have the kind of on stage chemistry that spawned the phrase ‘she’ll be alright on the night.’ According to Jez, it’s the tension that creates the creative

Music is like sex, somtimes it’s romantic and beautiful and sometimes it’s dark and aggressive... that you wouldn’t necessarily say in public. In music you need to say those things otherwise it’s not a complete process.’ So how do you keep saying those kind of things without leaving yourself completely exposed. Doesn’t one automatically try and bury those deep dark secrets of the soul? ‘People with courage don’t hide – you may feel nervous, but thankfully audiences of the North Coast

cohesion. ‘We’re just a bunch of people rubbing open wounds together, that’s basically it – me and Matty ďŹ ght a fair bit – we ďŹ ght about mainly what we are going to play and stuff, but we never let it get in the way of music – even on stage when we’re shitty... We fought about me being late and rolling ciggies while songs are on. Playing by myself a lot I know what should be played next

and he (Matt) thinks he knows what should be played... he says let’s play this and I say no and he says it, and we go on for about three minutes until the audience gets bored and one of us gives in!’ Boneyard are another Byron band who have found their feet on the street. It builds a certain resilience, and teaches a performer, that if you don’t work the crowd, then you will probably go hungry. ‘It’s always been pretty fresh because we don’t really rehearse, so we don’t over bake the whole thing. Me and Matty played in the street a lot busking – and the sound is still there.’ ‘We have always gone pretty hard in the street – when I ďŹ rst heard Matty I could hardly hear him, but now you can hear him from 5 Star to the Creative Tattoo shop – although there was probably a northerly. Busking keeps you honest. You have to stay there when all those people walk past not giving a shit – you are just doing it for yourself – it’s like two old Greek guys having a chat and a perve and a play and then later maybe a beer.’ CONTINUED ON PAGE 25

THESOAPBOX with Mandy Nolan

Hands off my Aunty

IT’S SEEMS our dear old Aunty is struggling to get by. Her government pension’s just not enough any more and she’s going to have to take in boarders. Advertising on the ABC! God Forbid! The tone of our national broadcaster would be changed forever. The independent voice, would be independent no more. I can just see Kerry O’Brien lathering himself in some skin reďŹ ning Dove Body Wash. Oh what a feeling! In fact, I’d be very surprised if Kerry O’Brien wasn’t one of the ďŹ rst to go. ‘He just doesn’t appeal to the buying public’. Of course with a bit of botox and a Ray Martin type rug he might be able to move a few Toyotas, but he will have to tone down his interviews. In fact, for the sake of the advertisers, it might be a good idea to move the 7.30 Report to, lets say about 2.30am, where he will incur less ďŹ scal damage. And maybe he could get a less feminine name. Kerry is a bit poofy for a bloke, (just ask poor old Kim) it doesn’t rate. What about Brian O’Brien, or Derryn? Noone’s using Derryn at the moment. Maybe they could get a Daddo to host a kind of human interest, home renovation segment. Maybe even a take on the Great Outdoors, called the Great Indoors, featuring some of

the world’s great libraries. It’s an older demographic, so what about ABC’s funniest Ultrasounds. Video footage of inside Nanna’s plastic hip, then there’s the colonoscopy cam – lots of laughs there. Let’s not forget the lucrative kiddy market. Playschool is open slather for product placement. They’ve already got the jingle. There’s a bear in there... and some Huggies as well, and people with games, look Big Ted’s on the X Box... come inside, open wide... for a big spoonful of Nutra Grain. So what’s under the rocket clock today kids? A six pack of Coca Cola and a Mars Bar. Media Watch would be the perfect spot to sell toilet paper, it could even come with a relief print of Stuart Livermore’s face, extra absorbency for when the ‘shit really hits the fan’. Gardening Australia could help the advertisers reach a whole new market. Wheelbarrows, mulch suppliers, and let’s not forget difďŹ cult to market products like Mothballs and Incontinence Pads. I

can just hear Peter Cundall: ‘Come to terms with those wee problems around the garden.’ Enough Rope could be an abseiling program – Andrew Denton could be the ABC’s very own nerdy SOLO man. What about the Big Brother phenomenon, it’s an absolute money spinner for the commercial networks. The ABC needs a similar interactive program. They could call it ‘Big Grandmother’. A unique format which offers you the opportunity to vote oldies out of a nursing home and onto the streets. A compassionate and creative answer to one of the costly problems facing our public health system. Advertising will change the ABC forever. The promos claim ‘It’s our ABC’, but let the corporate dollar in, and I think you’ll ďŹ nd, in a pretty short time, it will be well and truly ‘Their ABC’. I can just see the promo. Instead of an every day Aussie tracing out the logo of our beloved broadcaster, they can get John Singleton to do it, with his middle ďŹ nger.

Into the Blues... MARTHA WAINWRIGHT’S not quite like anyone else you would have met. I have spoken with her only once before. She’s got one of those deeply sexy New York speaking voices, always on the verge of a particularly wicked laugh. She’s the only woman I’ve spoken to who says Fuck more than I do. I can’t help but like her. She is sexy and talented and vulgar all at the same time. Thank god. I’m so sick of the sweet pouting mouths of girls who gaze big eyed out of their publicity snaps and sing in their girlish voices. It’s great to be ďŹ nally talking to a woman who sings like a woman about a woman’s life. Martha Wainwright is blue blood talent. The Canadian Folk Tree of fame is deeply rooted in her family. Even her brother Rufus is a musical genius. When you’re surrounded by greatness, I suppose you become pretty blasĂŠ about your own.

It’s such a different thing having a crew – it’s more like being a mother... She released her self titled CD last year to some acclaim. It was damn good. Like Joni Mitchell had made it through. Sweet and honeyed, at times, but that terrible ferocity, of pain and sadness, and the inevitable well fuck you, leaking through. There’s even joy as well. It’s one of those bottle of red wine and a couple of ciggies at 3 in the morning type albums. Broody and sensual, with the smell of sex still on the sheets, but the bed is empty kind of feel.’ Martha was here last year on a solo tour. She returns this year as part of the East Coast Blues Festival, this time with

her band. ‘I am coming out so soon again – do you think it’s terrible?... I think it’s great. We’ll have a band this time... they’re fuckers I’ve known for years so lock up your daughters!’ ‘They’re New York cats, we’ve actually had a good year, and Jesus christ I’m taking them to fucking Australia, and, they get their own room because they watch too much pornography.’ Well that’s something women don’t tend to do in groups. Although Martha quips: ‘It’s a European thing I think french women do that...’ For Martha, touring with the band has an upside, and the bigger the stage the better. ‘It’s such a different thing having a crew – it’s more like being a mother – which is rewarding – thank God they’re on stage and no one can smell them...’ ‘We don’t rehearse – we have been playing together for a long time, me and the bass player and the drummer will be coming off a long tour... it’s not like the Dave Matthew’s bands, they are their own entities they just get paid and laid and it’s not my responsibility.. although if they get paid and laid I’ll be happy.’ Martha is obviously doing something as she speaks, she has that careless relaxed lack of attention, like a cat with one eye on a canary. ‘I am currently brushing my sheepskin rug that I bought in Australia – I got it a year ago – it’s very big and it’s been drying in my hallway for a couple of days now... I love it... sheeps beware...’ The inevitable question. What’s it like having famous folks? How do you rebel, become a tax accountant? ‘Well, I’m not as funny as my Dad... As long as you can

Wright On believe that you can usurp your parents in some way.’ Martha’s lyrics read like dark and twisted poetry. Funny and real at the same time. Writing is a real focus for her. ‘I think I like the sound of words more than even what they mean. I’m very aware of how good my parents and my brother – and other people are, it’s intimidating and inspiring... some of them don’t rhyme – I’m very proud of that – obviously I don’t try...’ Not someone who’s ever going to be told how or who with or with what to write a song, Martha is the poster girl for Independent Music. ‘It’s the only way it could have gone down – maybe people at one time wanted me to get a pop set or said, there is someone you should write with – I am also very

embarrassed and I write songs in a very embarrassed way, if someone walks in on me I stand up and look uncomfortable – maybe one day I will get over myself – but that will do for now. ‘I like to make the kind of music I like to listen to. I have always gravitated towards the B sides...’ Martha Wainwright: East Coast Blues and Roots Festival.

Dropping In

CONTINUED FROM FRONT PAGE So who are these illustrious characters, who esh out the body of Boneyard? Matt has a whole character breakdown going on: ‘Rocket Man – Chris Jones, he’s the percussionist otherwise known as shaking Steve Slaughter and the drummer – Screaming Steve Evil – on Thursday at the Beachie it will be Peter Wilkins and on bass Crawling Kilgore Trout – otherwise known as Paul Brewer, the guitarist is howling Jez Sex – and on vocals is Jai Gantor......’ Boneyard is good old fashioned Aussie rock n roll with some new fashioned sensibilities. ‘I think we are more like ACDC because we have the joy. Our sound isn’t from another planet – that joy and optimism which used to be a part of Australia, if we could throw away the racism and the the greed. There are two strands of Australian life and you can choose which one, you can’t have both...’ The Boneyard philosophy, is rich, and dark and satirical. According to Matt, ‘Life is backyard porn, if you’re lucky!’ They play the Beach Hotel on Thursday and the Lennox Point Hotel on Saturday (with Nick on drums).

GETTING THE HOP ON FAT FREDDY’S DROP – FROM ME TO MU There are some acts that just don’t need a publicist. Fat Freddy’s Drop are a New Zealand Dub outďŹ t who have taken their penchant for reggae beats to a whole new level. Reggae stylings, jazz and the Polynesian gift for harmony give the boys an edge that has audiences coming back for more. In fact, just last year when they played Byron, there was a line about 200 deep trying to get in. Grown women were scaling fences and being ejected by security. One group I’d spoken to had made the trip from Brisbane. How the heck did they know? Advertising? No. Commercial Airplay? No. Word of Mouth. Yes. In the hyped up music industry everyone’s got a publicist packaging their wares, vying for airplay, trying to get a foothold in the market. Then seven Kiwi boys swagger in, shyly looking at each other and the ground and you get that goose pimpley feeling of being in the presence of the real thing. These guys are really good. They’re so good that anyone who sees them become’s their publicist. People won’t just tell you that their music is pretty good, they give long speeches about just why exactly you should see them. And if you don’t, you’ll be out of the loop. No one likes to miss out on being in on the know! I had a quick chat with Mu from Wellington at his home studio, the back of a Fish and Chip shop. Man, you just don’t get any more humble than that.

Mission Ignition support Fat Freddy’s Drop this Sunday at The Northern

LIVEMUSIC LOVING LEIGH Leigh Carriage is one of the area’s most loved singers. I was unaware that Leigh was involved in a car accident late last year that almost claimed her life. After healing and support from her partner Steve Russell and her close friends and devoted students, she has returned to work part time. Her students have organised a tribute, which is a wonderful thing to have to celebrate the fact that all those people who love you still have you! In fact, I think we should call birthday’s tribute days, because they are a great reminder to give that extra cuddle. Her students performing on the evening will be 12 year old Ruby Ryan, Brittle FX, Nat Gay Trio, Tara Luka, Jay Kingdom, Sophie Wilson, Niesha Douglas, Anita Bellman, Rene Jonas and Sophie Young. Headlining the evening will be Steve Russell on keys, Jim Kelly on Guitar, Greg Lyons on bass, Dave Sanders on drums, John Hoffman on trumpet and Dave Ades and Tony Buchannan on sax. Drill Hall Mullumbimby on Sunday. Tix $20 at the door. Enquiries to Sharyn on 6684 0272.

TYING IT ON WITH BO

Bo Jenkins started his career in the delta regions near the famed crossroads, listening to the ‘King Biscuit Show’ through the week and all the Grand Ole’ Opry shows on the weekend allowing him to be inuenced by the local and touring acts of the day. Bo’s unique way of playing guitar left-handed and upside down has given him a style to call his own. He has been compared to both Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix by Rhythms magazine. Through the years, he has performed with or supported B B King, Albert King, Houston Stackhouse, Reba McIntyre, Earl Thomas Conley, Kansas and Survivor, making him one of the few musicians in the world to play major arenas in the three main ďŹ elds, rock, blues and country. The Bo Jenkins Road Train plays the Hotel Brunswick on Sunday.

WHAT A LITTLE PEARLER

Hannah Pearl talks of her transition from poetry to songwriting as a creative ‘coming out’. She says: ‘It

He’s a quiet sort of bloke and I can tell he can’t wait to get off the phone. I can understand that. Who wants to talk about making music, when it’s the doing of it that really separates the boys from the men, the women from the girls and the stayers from the ash in the pan talent. With their home recorded CD they have held the number one spot in the New Zealand charts longer than Crowded House. Must be a few major labels snifďŹ ng around now. ‘The majors have been after us but we’ve done the hard yards, we’ve played up and down the countries. We don’t really need them. We record everything at home.’ So what is the typical recording session for Fat Freddy’s Drop? ‘Writing songs for us starts on the stage playing out simple ideas, loud and long – a lot of our songs can go on for half an hour each. There’s a lot of jazz – we got the colours of jazz and soul and light of Reggae Drums.’ So why the buzz about FFD? ‘There’s not a lot hap-

pening like it overseas – we have toured extensively through Europe and the Uk, we’ve been going there for the last 4 years – and it took 4 years to break in. We are heading back to the UK and then moving on through the rest of Europe again. They’re a different audience – they are more discerning than Americans...’ With the phenomenon of bands like Arctic Monkey breaking through in a urry of hype and technological touting, it opens the gates for using the internet as the ultimate grass roots way for independent acts to access the globe at their ďŹ nger tips. ‘We have a fair bit of internet interest – our websites are really strong.’ Fat Freddy’s Drop play the Hotel Great Northern on Sunday.

Her sound is as vivid and diverse as her Nimbin upbringing. She plays the Rails on Monday. SINGING IT UP Have you ever wondered why you aren’t going anywhere with your songs? Are the lyrics working for you? Is the chorus letting you down? Are you missing something crucial? Songsalive is a song critique workshop that will get your creative juices cranking. Real feedback about how to make your music better. The ďŹ rst workshop has already happened – but to ďŹ nd out more, you can phone Jo on 0418 789 967.

FOLK LIKE US The Mullumbimby Folk Club is on again. This month’s feature artist brings a change of avour again. A multiple Dolphin awards winner and longtime exponent of celestial, world, fusion music, Tarshito has followed a diverse and fascinating path into the world of music.

Not being one to sit solely in his studio and dream, he has travelled extensively and gone ‘on location’ to feel out haunting atmospheres to enrich his music. Among his inuences are Indian, Latin, Brazilian, African and Aboriginal tribal music, Tarshito blends the ‘primitive’ with rock, jazz, folk, classical and ambience to give his work a unique power. It’s his ability to create such diverse soundscapes that sees him being called upon to score for many local, national and international ďŹ lms. Anyone who’d like a spot on the chalkboard (so you can perform, not so you can hang out with the duster) then be there from 7pm at the Drill Hall in Mullum. Performances start at 8pm sharp.

When it comes to collective nouns starting with the letter E, it’s not exactly an EMBARRASSMENT of riches. An ECONOMY of scale isn’t but an EXALTATION of larks is. An EXAGGERATION of fishermen might be, and an ENIGMA of platypuses should be. Could an EIDER of down qualify? Or an ELAN of deer? An EISTEDDFOD of leeks sounds wrong but an EMBRACE of lovers sounds right. Would an ERSTWHILE of divorcees or an ESCORT of hookers count as collective nouns? How about an EQUERRY of corgis? (We guarantee that two of the above are right).

It’s realistic. Just accept nothing is perfect or under your control and move on. Cheynne Murphy brings his unique spin on the roots upsurgence to the Aussie Tavern on Thursday and hopefully nothing will go wrong. Like a tsunami, or a power surge. Although I reckon he’s the kind of guy who would be able to cope. You are going to be impressed by this powerful singer and acoustic guitar exponent. He is backed by the effervescent and deft touch of Carl Hemmings, on brush drums and percussion. Cheynne has supported Christine Anu and Richard Clapton. His music is a journey through the shadows of dark and light and he plays a combo of his own original material as well as the music that inspires it... in that order... he has been described as a cross between Pete Murray and Jeff Buckley.

CABARET: PRYOR KNOWLEDGE

Not too long ago I reread one of my favourite autobiographies: ‘Pryor Convictions’ by the comedian Richard Pryor. It is an earnest, funny and touching account of a very challenging life. He is such a sinner that you can’t help but love him. He was constitutionally incapable of keeping it in his pants and had a succession of wives and girlfriends and lovers. All, I imagine, wanting to kill him at some stage. For Richard, ďŹ nding who he was on stage was the key to his success. For years he tried to sound like Bill Cosby. But then it just fell into place. How else should a guy who has grown up in a brothel in a pretty rough neighborhood sound? Richard Pryor took the voice of the black man to the stage. UnmodiďŹ ed for middle class white consumption – and the world, well, most of it just couldn’t get enough. His daughter, Rain Pryor is also a performer. She’s a comedian, but not a stand up. She’s a dynamic speaker, a spokesperson, a writer, a singer and an award winning actress. That’s a lot of hats to wear. Life has handed Rain a script, and this self confessed ‘little black Jewish girl’ is only too keen to bring that story to life. She brings her extraordinary award winning one woman show to the Byron Community Centre on Thursday 30 March. Bookings for Fried Chicken and Latkes, $45. Bookings to 6685 6807

Locall Internet ‘When I ďŹ rst realised that my business needed broadband to speed up our online activities, I walked the well-trodden path to big boys such as Telstra, Dodo and Optus. I then decided to see what local providers there were who could supply me with broadband, phone deals and a complete set of internet solutions. I found only one that could do all this: Locall Australia Internet provided me with better pricing without hidden extras, faster, more personalised service and at the same time was keeping my money local. If you’re thinking of getting connected to broadband or dial-up or you want to ďŹ nd a

better deal on your phones and general internet products phone Melissa on 6685 1500 and compare. You’ll be impressed.’ – Todd Buckland, Byron Shire Real Estate

Good Night, and Good Luck is directed by the star of Ocean’s Eleven (George Clooney). You have to wonder why he would risk his standing as a pinup to direct, co-write and co-star in a movie set in the 1950s, shot in black-and-white and focused on a ďŹ fty-year-old battle between TV newsman Edward R. Murrow and the Commie-hunting Sen. Joseph McCarthy. Clooney blows the dust off ancient TV history to expose today’s fat, complacent news media as even more ready to bow to networks, sponsors and the White House. As Murrow said in a 1958 speech, which frames Clooney’s dynamite ďŹ lm, the powers that be much prefer TV as an instrument to “distract, delude, amuse and insulate.â€? With Good Night, and Good Luck -- the words used by Murrow to sign off his broadcasts -- Clooney emerges as a powerhouse ďŹ lmmaker. Ross Goode

CAPOTE We are indebted to Truman Capote for more than just his priceless put-down of Jack Kerouac, (‘that’s not writing, it’s typing’). In Cold Blood, his book about the fate of the two murderers of a Kansas family in 1959, aroused respectable society’s pervy attraction to the vicarious experience of terror, recently exempliďŹ ed here in the nexus between the Falconio case and Wolf Creek. This portrait of Capote at that time is complex and unsympathetic. He is vain and snobbish, duplicitous and self-absorbed. In dealing with Perry, the handsome killer whom he describes as a ‘goldmine’ for his project, he lies and cajoles, but he also sees him as his outcast alter-ego and, unsurprisingly, falls in love with him(self). Nor is the prisoner above exploitation, understanding that the writer’s attentions are all that stand between him and the gallows. Philip Seymour Hoffman’s Oscar winning performance sails close to mimicry but, surrounded by an outstanding cast of straight players, he remains focused throughout. Gripping, dark and cold, and, by challenging you to engage with a not very likeable character, the ďŹ lm holds up a mirror to a culture that operates only in the ďŹ rst person. John Campbell

AEON FLUX Futurists invariably see tomorrow’s world being dominated by a stuggle for power between ruthless, unelected elites and a spied-upon, molliďŹ ed citizenry. The year is 2415, the place Bregna. Rulers are the Goodchild dynasty, descendants of the man who discovered a medicine that saved 1% of the Earth’s population from a disastrous pandemic. Opposing their tyranny are the Monicans, so named, judging by the coiffure of Aeon Flux, their feline Gladiatrix, after the character in Friends. She falls foul of them when they believe she is in cahoots with a bloke from the evil side with the unlikely name of Trevor. But Trevor is making his own rebellion and, one way and another, the pair get to do some time-honoured shagging. It’s not ‘til too late in proceedings that the interesting theme of cloning v nature emerges, but by then you’re staring blankly at the screen trying to remember what to get at Woolies when the movie comes out. Gaultier would love Beatrix Aruna Pasztor’s costumes and sfx are as expected. Strictly for fans of the comic strip, with, as the amehaired queen of the Monicans, Frances McDormand looking like she can’t believe it either. John Campbell 1 9ĂŠ ,‡ " / "

QUOTATIONS Danny Vinyard: So I guess this is where I tell you what I learned - my conclusion, right? Well, my conclusion is: Hate is baggage. Life’s too short to be pissed off all the time. It’s just not worth it. Derek says it’s always good to end a paper with a quote. He says someone else has already said it best. So if you can’t top it, steal from them and go out strong. So I picked a guy I thought you’d like. ‘We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory will swell when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.’ - American History X

Lilith Today Sun in Aries – dadahhh! – lights up the first day of the astrological year. Plus it’s the autumn equinox. And the day ancient Romans held their annual Festival of Joy‌ at least three good reasons to celebrate this wild and fiery week. ARIES: Though Mercury retrograde’s still chucking trouble dust in your path, who cares? Your birthday month’s started, changes are on their way and cheeky charm will get you through. Don’t be too annoyed at what’s not working to notice all the fabulous things that are happening. TAURUS: In Japan people are now dropping dead from Overworkers Syndrome. And as in everything else, Australians are fast following the U.S. to becoming another nation of overworkers and holidaying less. Under No Circumstances Add To These Statistics This Week!

GEMINI: This week generates a tremendous amount of nervous energy. If conflicting opinions and emotions start giving you a headache, stay calm and as stable as you’re able to. Ask for support, keep the home zone a serene haven and try to finish one thing before starting the next.

SCORPIO: You won’t be happy taking a back seat or dealing with too much red tape this week. If a particular thing’s frustrating you, set it aside for something more likely to give instant results and a feeling of progress. On Saturday Mercury and everything else starts moving again.

CANCER: As the new astrological year gets into gear, this week favours forthright action over long winded discussion. Though others will expect you to know what they mean without explaining themselves, making crossed wires almost inevitable – because even Cancerian intuition has its limits.

SAGITTARIUS: Sagittarians, like present astral energies, are straightforward, direct and upfront. This week’s birthday mime Marcel Marceau forestalled potential problems by not talking at all – a radical strategy, but hey, if it stops you getting someone offside you’d rather have onside, why not?

LEO: There’s no nice way to say it. Historically, this was the week Benito Mussolini, a Leo, formed the Italian Fascist Party and Hitler became Nazi dictator of Germany. It’s Big Bossyboots Time, when your inner control freak likes to get out of control. Better give it a pat and let it know who’s boss.

CAPRICORN: This is the time of year people start getting passionately argumentative – and while you needn’t agree, disagreeing could be more trouble than it’s worth right now. This weeks challenge will be tactfully leading discussions and negotiations back to a productive track.

VIRGO: You won’t get your way easily this week, with others just as determined as your resolute self. You’ll need to be on the ball. And very discreet. And shaking the world’s worries off your shoulders by helping where you can, delegating where you can’t and suggesting workable alternatives.

AQUARIUS: While others might feel overwhelmed by suffering humanity and the tragic state of our planet, Aquarians will probably just go ahead and try to make the world a better place this week. Which you’re in a unique position to do – at least a part of it anyway.

PISCES: Others are easily enchanted by the way you find the extraordinary in the ordinary, the magical in the everyday. As the astrological year begins you’re now required to bring that creative freshness to life at ground zero – a hard ask, but a necessary one.

LIBRA: People don’t want complications this week, or dealing with people who make them. They want instant progress and quick results, but don’t let them pressure you. Go at your own pace. Others might like fast, but hey – you know what looks best.

JUICE BY THE BEACH: Hot and thirsty beachgoers in Byron Bay can now get their pick-me-up without having to stagger all the way into town. In fact, they probably don’t even need to get dressed. Naked Juice – Espresso Bar is a new juice bar that has just opened at 14 Bay Street, Byron Bay, just behind the surf club. Brainchild of Bangalow couple Jacky and Jess Mott, the juice bar has all the credentials for becoming a great success. Jacky started her career in hospitality 25 years ago when she attended the Salzburger Hotel Management and Tourism College in Austria. She went on to hold various hospitality positions such as restaurant manager, hotel manager, maitre de and chef before opening a coffee shop Olga’s in Thredbo Village. After ten successful years, she sold up and with her husband and two sons spent 12 years travelling round Australia before settling in Bangalow three and a half years ago. ‘I’m really looking forward to running my own business again,’ said Jacky. ‘Now my children are older I can afford to spare the time, and the boys can help in the shop as well, so it’ll be a real family affair.’ Offering a range of healthy, fresh juices, succulent smoothies and tasty turkish rolls, wraps, toasted sandwiches and salads, there is

bound to be something for everyone. Coffee is also available, of course, and freshly ground, organic beans guarantee a good cuppa to wash down mufďŹ ns and gluten free cookies. Open seven days from 8am to 6pm for all day grazing.

THE NIGHT IS YOUNG: More night openings for popular local eateries include Harvest Cafe at Newrybar, where on Saturday nights you can sit out on the wooden verandah and dine from Dave Ness’s superb menu, including such temptations as Marinated Roasted Quail, Mango & Green Chilli Salsa on Wild Rice; Pan-seared Duck Breast with Herbed Buckwheat & Asparagus Risotto, Roast Beetroot & Pomegranate Glaze; and Sour Cherry Creme BrulÊe with Pistachio Nut Biscotti; and Ate at Bangalow, where after Easter they will be inging open the doors to their new upstairs restaurant called Satiate and offering 5-course degustations, with vegetarian options, for a mere $50 a head. Shannon’s gorgeous produce-driven menu will be available from Tuesday through to Saturday nights.

When things go pear-shaped

Mullumbimby

Vi c t o r i a C o s f o rd WHY, WHEN things go awry, are they often deemed to have gone ‘pear-shaped’? The shape of pears is a lovely one, all gently aring hips and slender torso. Now is their season; now is the time for me to unearth all my favourite pear recipes. As for eating raw, I ďŹ nd it hard to detect that moment of perfect ripeness when the fruit has moved from bland to sweet yet stays ďŹ rm; the colour is not always a reliable guide. Raw pears as a result constantly let me down, and yet the multitude of ways in which I may cook them can leave me dizzy with choice. It is, in fact, precisely that delicacy of avour – delicacy seems kinder than blandness – which endears them to a whole host of ingredients more robust and more vibrant. For savouries, cheese is an immediate start, particularly blue: the combination of Stilton and pears is a classic one. But think beyond that: make a creamy blue risotto and, before serving, dollop on some pears you have cubed and sautĂŠed golden in a little butter. German and Swiss recipes abound in which fruit is coupled with meat and vegetables, and Jane Grigson cites a heavenly way with new potatoes in which they are simmered in buttery onions, reconstituted dried pears and honey till glazed and tender. Or beans in a gentle braise of diced fresh pears, translucent speck and stock. Serve roast poussins alongside pear slices you have browned in foaming butter, sprinkled with a little sugar then deglazed with some water and a squeeze of lemon juice. Or, for a rich breakfast treat, grate half a kilo of cooked and peeled potatoes and one pear, squeeze out the excess moisture, add some crisply fried bacon, a little potato our and one egg yolk then form into cakes to fry in vegetable oil until brown and crunchy. Sweet options know almost no limit. Pears in a syrup of red wine, lemon rind, cinnamon stick and cloves is an effortless dessert for cooler weather requiring almost no cooking skills whatsoever, merely a dollop of thick cream or, more extravagantly, mascarpone. Or pears cored and baked with cinnamon sticks, honey and white wine until tender. Pear crumbles, cakes and pies all go without saying, one of the world’s simplest desserts being pear tarts

in which you roll out store-bought puff pastry into rounds, cover them with paper-thin slices of pear, a scattering of caster sugar and a dab of butter and bake in a moderately hot oven for 40 minutes. Of all my pear recipes, however, the favourite one is for a Pear Loaf. This is a beautifully moist ending to a meal, either served thickly sliced with gorgonzola and freshly shelled oven-crisped walnuts, or with a tumble of blueberries and some double cream; the recipe, moreover, makes two large loaves, one for immediate consumption and one for freezing. Nothing awry about this sort of lusciousness!

WHAT’S HOT HAMPTON & LARSSON At last – a timber company that cares for the environment! In August 2005 Hampton & Larsson became the ďŹ rst joinery in Australia to obtain international certiďŹ cation from the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) for joinery manufacture. Our new FSC Chain of Custody certiďŹ cation means that timber used in the production of so-labelled commercial and residential doors, windows and stairs, is guaranteed to have been sourced in forests which are managed according to a strict set of environmental, social and economic standards, recognised worldwide and/or from non-controversial sources. Until now, no joinery company in Australia could offer the sustainable building industry a source of timber guaranteed not to contribute to the destruction of the world’s forests. The company’s new qualiďŹ cation identiďŹ es timber it uses to be sourced from FSC-certiďŹ ed forests, so the ďŹ nished products can be labelled as FSC-certiďŹ ed.

SPLASHBACKS BY OCEAN SHORES GLASS & SCREENS Firstly there are two types of glass – optically clear, which gives true colour rendition and is usually called starďŹ re, opti, white or diamant. The other is known as clear glass, which gives a green tinge to the colour applied. The glass should be toughened wherever possible because toughened glass is like your oven door and is capable of taking 200° celsius heat before failing and is several times stronger than normal glass. StarďŹ re glass comes in a maximum length of 3302mm while green (normal) glass comes in a maximum length of 4660mm. As you can see, sometimes you need to use two panels instead of one. The next item on the agenda is size, 6mm toughened glass is used for 2mm tolerances, which means that if we want it 1000mm by 1000mm, it can come anywhere from 998mm by 998mm, or 1002mm by 1002mm, or any combination in between. These tolerances are to Australian standards, which means that they are legal and proper. Very rarely does toughened glass come at exactly the measurement we want because there is an inbuilt 2mm variation in toughened glass as a result

of the heating and cooling process during manufacture. ‘Builder, renovators and interior designers should be aware that new homes and renovations can look fantastic with glass kitchen splashbacks, which are now available in over 150,000 different colours,’ Peter from Ocean Glass & Screens said. For more information phone 6680 3333.

SAVOUR THE PLANET Rainbow Power Company has just taken delivery of 120 solar cookers from India. They come as one metre dish cookers and box cookers of different sizes. There are thousands of these cookers in use all over the third world, and their efďŹ ciency

has been tested and proven over many years. Indeed, one ashram in India feeds their 15,000 devotees entirely on solar. That’s 45,000 meals per day. In this instance they use solar to make steam. As the food can’t over-cook there is no need to stir or watch it, saving time, energy and pollution. Simply put the food in the pots, point the

cooker at the sun and come back in two to three hours for a delicious and healthy meal. The concept of the parabolic reector to concentrate the sun’s rays was developed aeons ago, and the design is very simple to assemble. The box cookers are ready to use straight from the box and come complete with stainless steel cooking pots.

Assessment of Environmental Impact of the NSW Commercial Ocean Trap and Line Fishery

PUBLIC EXHIBITION The NSW Ocean Trap and Line Fishery is one of seven major marine commercial fishing activities in NSW. It involves licensed fishers catching fish using trap, line and spanner crab fishing methods in ocean waters under NSW jurisdiction. An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) has been prepared for the Ocean Trap and Line Fishery. The EIS incorporates a detailed description and risk assessment of the existing fishing activity, a draft fishery management strategy with proposed management controls, and an assessment of the likely biological, physical, economic and social impacts of implementing the draft fishery management strategy. The proponents are the persons who are entitled to be allocated shares in the NSW Ocean Trap and Line Fishery. The EIS will be available for public inspection at all previous coastal NSW Fisheries offices, now incorporated within the NSW Department of Primary Industries, during office hours from 23 March, 2006. The EIS may also be inspected during normal office hours at the following locations: • • • •

The head office and regional offices of the Department of Planning The NSW Government Chief Information Office in Sydney The Sydney office of the Total Environment Centre (NSW) Pty Ltd Principal Council offices of local government areas in which the activity is proposed to take place (this includes all Councils/Shires in coastal areas and most Sydney metropolitan Councils).

The EIS will be available for inspection until 21 April 2006. An overview of the EIS and the three volumes of the complete EIS are also available on the NSW Department of Primary Industries web site at www.dpi.nsw.gov.au For a complimentary printed copy of the overview paper, or to purchase a printed or CD copy of the full EIS (at $25 per copy incl. GST), please phone 1300 550 474 during office hours. Any person may make written submissions about the proposed activity before the 21 April 2006 closing date. Submissions should be sent to:

Money needed for Lesotho orphans project In the middle of South Africa lies the small, independent mountain countr y of Lesotho. Lesotho, a British protectorate until 1966, managed to escape the oppression of apartheid but didn’t, however, escape the devastation of the AIDS virus as the pandemic swept across Africa. OfďŹ cial ďŹ gures state that around 30% of the population is HIV infected though unofďŹ cial ďŹ gures say more like 50%. In this small

nation, there are 200,000 orphans. Most of Lesotho’s eastern side is 10,000 feet high. Most people are subsistence farmers who live on the edge of poverty. Lesotho is a harsh and rugged environment with thousands of villages‌ one behind every mountain, as they say. It is now autumn in Lesotho and the people are readying themselves for the onslaught of winter when

much of the country is covered in snow. Their traditional winter garment is a blanket which they wrap around themselves to keep out the cold. The Lovelight of Byron Bay Charitable Trust is currently in Lesotho to begin their Thusanang project. Thusanang is a Basotho word meaning ‘helping each other’.The aim of Thusanang is the creation of care centres for vulnerable children in Lesotho.

Sports Roundup with Alex McAuley Mixed fortunes for Brunswick Valley

Bream are biting brilliantly again Fishing report courtesy of Lennox Head Bait and Tackle. First light on rising tides has been the most productive period for bream over the last couple of weeks, as well as evenings as the light fades. Most fish have been taken using cut mullet or mullet gut for bait. Whiting are making their presence known again, with some nice sized fish being caught from the Breamhole at Lennox, and also from a good channel between the Surf Club and the Recreation Camp. The sand flats at Missingham is another top spot for them, using live worms or freshly pumped yabbies. Mobbs Bay was definitely the pick of the spots in the river system for flathead using

Action from the Anzac Cup double header at Pine Avenue on Sunday when Brunswick Valley A division team (pictured) were unlucky to go down 2-1 to Richmond Rovers, however the B division team drew their match agains Thistles. Photo Jeff ‘A Totty and Hot Spurs’ Dawson

The younger players were again s h ow i n g the way for Brunswick Valley Soccer Club in their Anzac Cup games over the weekend. Both A and B division sides were drawn to play at home, and the boys were keen to improve on last week’s performances. The B division side fought out a tough 2-2 draw with Lismore Thistles despite being 1-0 down at half time. A sensational double strike from Quincey put the Valley in front with only minutes remaining, the youngster showing composure and awareness to chip the ball into the net over the advancing Thistles keeper on two occasions. A late Thistles equaliser saw the game finish

in a draw. Standouts for the Valley were Seb Hardy and colourful local identity Brad Warner. The A Division side were boosted by the return of defensive enforcer Matt Hughes and playmaker Adam Goodhand. The Valley started well and was rewarded after 20 minutes with a breathtaking goal from new recruit Casey Mills. Spotting the Rovers keeper off his line, the striker hit a magnificent 35 yard shot into the top of the net. Rovers fought back well, however, and equalised just before the break. In the second half the Valley soaked up some sustained pressure before Adam Goodhand released Dean Treveton with a fine through ball

against the run of play. The striker finished brilliantly but was denied by a controversial offside decision. More controversy was to follow when the referee awarded Rovers a disputed ferric inside the Valley box. The shot managed somehow to wriggle between jumble of legs in the goal mouth and put Rovers into the lead. The game finished 2-1 with Rovers coming away with a lucky victory and the Valley boys feeling robbed. A late Terry Partridge header which cannoned off the inside of the post but failed to cross the line summed up a frustrating afternoon. Both teams are in action again next Sunday afternoon at Pine Ave, Mullumbimby, kicking off at 2.30 and 4.30.

whitebait. One way to rig up with these soft baits is to thread one right up the hook, and then pin two or three through the eye with their tails trailing. This presents the bait quite naturally and often proves irresistible. There is still a few tailor around off the beaches, mostly are first light. They are just about all ‘choppers’ around the 1 kg in size, and are being caught using strips of mullet on gang hooks. There have been reports of a few better sized fish from the rocky headlands and the walls, caught using shiny lures, although determination and dedication is needed as they are not plentiful. This is usually one of the best times of the year in the river for jewfish, but the

floods we had early on seem to have put them off a bit. There are, however, still ‘schoolies’ and ‘soapies’ to be had. Take fresh live worms or yabbies for them at night from locations such as the back of the RSL and the banks near the ferry for best success. Offshore has been a mixed bag, with snapper and pearl perch taken by ‘bottom bashing’ with squid baits from the southern reefs. Out wide at the 32 fathom mark, there has been cobia and mahi mahi aplenty. Reports came in over the weekend of a three knot southerly current at 27 degrees; if that is correct, we should see pelagics in the near future, which most of the boaties have been waiting for.

Rams continue their winning streak

Eureka Public School entered its relay team into the North Coast Swimming Carnival last Thursday and won a well deserved third place. They managed to better their previous efforts by a massive eight seconds. The team has qualified for the State Championships on April 12 where in 2005 Eureka won the silver medal for this event. The swimmers are Riley Driscoll (back left), Lukie O’Connor, Janice Reid (front left) and Sarah Parkinson and are coached by Letitia Scott.

The Rams Anzac Cup squad travelled to Lismore to take on Thistles over the weekend. Both teams had won their first matches and were vying for top position in the group, and with coach Peter Ware still experimenting with the team, it was pleasing to see so much fluency in the Rams’ play.

The Rams dominated the whole game but couldn’t produce a scoreline to reflect it. A solitary goal, which was a fine solo effort by Bruce Morhaus, was enough to win the game 1-0. The Rams will need to convert their chances if they are to beat the better teams in the competition. Next week Byron Bay will

play host to Richmond Rovers at the Rec grounds on Sunday at 4.30pm. The club is currently running a raffle with a major prize of two five day passes to the Blues and Roots Festival. Tickets can be purchased from club members or at the Rec grounds next Sunday for $2 each.

Sports Roundup with Alex McAuley Marty ďŹ nds Paralympics ‘incredible’

Competing at his first ever Paralympic Games in Torino, Marty Mayberry (pictured) had an excellent result in the men’s standing slalom event where he finished 19th in a time of 1.27.76. After his race, Marty commented, ‘I’m glad it’s all over and I’m more happy with that second run although Toby [Marty’s roommate] beat me.’ About the games as a whole, Marty had the following to say: ‘It’s a lot more pressure and you can’t really prepare yourself for that. It’s not even similar to World Cup, which is a pretty big event. But in the end, it’s an incredible experience and I hope I’ll use that to deal with it better next time. The experience of skiing with the quality of these athletes from everywhere in the world has been excellent.’ Photo courtesy of the Australian Paralympic Committee.

Over 150 of Australia and New Zealand’s hottest junior surfers descended on Manu Bay, Raglan for the second annual $13,000 Billabong Pro-Teen Series surf event, the sixth event on the Australasian Junior Series. Byron Bay’s Ellis Ericson was in good form progressing through round two and in the process knocking out Australia’s number one rated pro junior Matt Wilkinson in excellent conditions, showing intelligent tactics are as just as important as talent.

Coast Cup 10s in Byron Bay And just for Matt Alexander If you see any young man walking the town of Byron Bay this week looking like he owns the place, then it is more than likely that he plays rugby for the Bay. The reason for this was found on Saturday when Byron travelled to Grafton for their ďŹ rst trial game. Despite having a host of new players and the hot conditions, the Byron team walked away with a solid 2212 win displaying great mental toughness despite the heat. Coach Warren Fisher praised all with particular mention going Prop Liam Holm, Kiwi centres Connor Crichton and John Liddicoat and ďŹ ve eighth Matt Alexander, who also walked away with a neat hat trick of tries. With the trial out of the way, the Bay is now looking

forward to this Saturday’s inaugural Coast Cup Tens, which includes teams from Byron Bay, Mullumbimby, Lennox Head and Brisbane. The 10s is the ďŹ nal chance for a hit out before the competition opener on April 1 and will kick off at the Byron Bay Recreation Grounds at 11am with Byron playing Brisbane GPS in the ďŹ rst of a day of round robin competition. All supporters are welcome for what should be a great day of running rugby. Following the day’s action on the ďŹ eld, all teams will be heading to our major sponsor the Rails Hotel at 6pm to see who can talk up their efforts in the most outrageous way. For more information on the 10s or any aspect of Byron rugby, please call Matt on 0437 656 984.

the record... A recent press release from the Minister for Education and Training’s ofďŹ ce comments on the high number of ex students of NSW public schools competing at the Melbourne Commonwealth Games. While that in itself may not seem like exciting news, what is very impressive is that with the exception of Westfield Sports High School, only two NSW high schools have more than one ex student competing. One is Tamworth High School and the other is good old Mullumbimby High School, with Monique Nacsa and Brad Davidson. When you consider that Tamworth has a population of over 30,000 and Mullumbimby about 5,000, I think it proves what we’ve known for a long time: this region breeds more than its fair share of top class athletes.

There is enough food in the world to feed everyone, but not everyone has equal access to it, explains The Future of Food which is screening on Wednesday March 29 at the Byron Bay Community Centre. This chilling ďŹ lm tells the story of how chemical companies like Monsanto are taking control of the food supply and why they are suing Canadian and American farmers whose fields have become ‘contaminated’ with Monsanto’s genetically modiďŹ ed canola seed. Pull up your petunias, plant those organic vegies and keep an eye on developments on your home soil. Q Q Q Q The recent Council kerbside cleanup had an unintended result for one resident. He managed to pick up a cordless drill and torch from the kerbside and had them working again in no time with a few simple repairs. One small victory against the throwaway culture.

GetUp has created a new ad to get past the spin. Watch it online at www.getup.org.au. Q Q Q Q According to the SMH, a spoof John Howard website that featured a soul searching ‘apology’ speech for the Iraq war has been shut down under orders from the Australian government. Richard Neville, Australian futurist and social commentator, discovered his satirical website johnhowardpm.org had been blocked on Tuesday with no explanation from his web hosting company. You can ďŹ nd the ad at www.richardneville.com. Not that we’d be encouraging satire or freedom of speech.
