RTA ignores concerns of Yelgun residents Alex McAuley The RTA has washed its hands of responsibility for unacceptable noise levels say residents affected by the upgrade of the PaciďŹ c Highway between Brunswick Heads and Yelgun. Inconsistent noise impact studies have allowed the Roads and TrafďŹ c Authority to downplay the noise problem affecting some residents adjacent to the new upgrade. Paul and Jill Rogers bought a property at Yelgun in 1999 thinking that they were moving to their dream home only ďŹ nd that it has turned into a complete nightmare. The Rogers were aware of the preferred route for the highway which the RTA put on display in 1997, however the couple say that what the RTA did not exhibit at that time was a plan for a truck

stop, which is being constructed about 500 metres from their property. ‘When we got our ďŹ rst inkling that there may be a truck stop going in, we asked RTA representatives about it,’ said Jill. ‘They denied it almost until the ďŹ rst sod of earth was turned.’ Mr and Mrs Rogers are very concerned about the impact this truck stop will have on their property, particularly the constant compression braking as trucks pull into the rest area and the glare from the overnight lighting. To make matters worse, the original landscaping that would have afforded them some protection has been so altered by the earthworks that their property is now fully exposed to the rest area. ‘The RTA has referred speciďŹ cally to our residence

in relation to the truck stop several times; their website states that the Yelgun truck stop “is located in naturally shielded area where the surrounding terrain provides good natural sound bufferingâ€?,’ said Jill. ‘We are very disturbed to note that the naturally shielded area has now been removed and used as ďŹ ll for the major construction activity on the north side of the existing highway.’ A spokesperson for the RTA said, ‘The rest area is being built as part of the recommendations of the PaciďŹ c Highway Safety Review 2004 and as contained in the RTA’s Truck Rest Area Strategy. The site was identiďŹ ed as having the least noise impacts in line with the recommendations made by the continued on page 2

Surfers, family and friends bade farewell in style on Tuesday last week to much-loved local Ben King, who died suddenly of a heart attack at 42. Over 600 surfers participated in a farewell paddle-out at Main Beach and later that day around 1500 people attended a service at St Finbarr’s Catholic Church. Surfing Australia acknowledged the outstanding role Ben had played in laying a solid foundation over the years for the Byron Bay Boardriders and surfing in this region. ‘Ben was a special person in that he was prepared to personally work hard for the goals he helped set for the club and made the time available and had the interest, to support and mentor those around him to develop a team,’ said Surfing Australia in its press release. ‘Ben’s generosity in opening his house to many members of the surfing family during their travels brought him many friends and acquaintances. Surfing will miss the future contributions that Ben would have made, but his legacy is left for us all to nurture.’ Q Photo tribute, page 15, more photos photocompli.echo.net.au/echoextra

Lesley Patterson A plan to prohibit holiday letting in most residential areas of Byron Bay and Suffolk Park, but exempt existing holiday letting strongholds such as Watego’s Beach, received wide support at a meeting of business, community and tourism representatives last week. ‘The meeting was able to air concerns, discuss the legal and planning issues and then move forward with options that will assist council in reaching a position that will then be exhibited for community comment,’ said Cr Jan Barham. ‘There were a number of options presented at the meeting, but only one got

majority support,’ said Chris Hanley, who represents Byron Bay’s major real estate agents, at the holiday letting forum. The precinct plan, which Mr Hanley has described as a ‘work in progress’ permits holiday letting in a range of areas including Watego‘s, Shirley Street, Belongil, Alcorn Street and Lawson Street, but supports the prohibition of holiday letting in most other residential areas. Mr Hanley says the precinct plan received the support of some community groups as it only included ‘the traditional coastal precincts which have been holiday let for 20-30 years and

included none of the mainly residential areas’. Glen Lawrence from residents lobby group BRACE, says his organisation supports the precinct plan ‘as long as the community in each precinct have a chance to have an input and holiday lets are subject to a development application or similar Council approval’. Cr Barham is supporting the concept of a precinct plan but says the detail of the areas is subject to discussion by Councill. Landlords group HLO (Holiday Letting Organisation) did not support the precinct plan but championed

Dangerously Poetic Press has announced the birth of its third annual anthology, To The Edge, Poetry from Byron Bay and Beyond. Twenty-three local poets and four award-winning local artists are featured in this fresh, edgy collection to be launched by Echo editor Michael McDonald on April 5 at the Byron Bay Community Centre. Anthony Telford, chef on Channel 10â€?s Ready, Steady, Cook, and a poet in this collection, will be the MC. Everyone is invited to arrive at 5:30pm. for a 5:45 prompt start. Find out why Jill Eddington of the Northern Rivers Writers Centre has said for the back cover, ‘Reecting on the important themes of life including confession, betrayal, surrender and remembrance, this collection of poems is a delight for readers.

requests. Jill Roger s explained that the RTA divides the properties likely to be affected by the new road into noise catchment areas and that the noise impact studies can be conducted anywhere within those areas. ‘The Yelgun Brunswick Heads Environmental Impact Study (EIS) dated November 2002 shows that our property was monitored for noise in 1997,’ said Jill. ‘It would appear that after applying their criteria to the initial readings, the noise assessment for our property may have been acceptable for a highway if the standard noise mitigation measures were provided by the RTA. However, the noise level may well have exceeded their guidelines when the inter-

change and/or the truck stop criteria were taken into consideration. This may have meant that the RTA would have had to either relocate the interchange and truck stop or alternatively purchase our property.’ ‘It would appear that the RTA adopted a cheaper option by relocating the noise monitoring for our noise catchment area to a paddock approximately a kilometre away from both the existing highway and the two houses in the catchment area. Noise readings taken from this new location are all extremely low.’ When The Echo asked an RTA spokesperson why a further noise impact study could not be carried out actually on the Rogers property, they responded as fol-

lows: ‘The RTA will be undertaking further noise monitoring and modelling as part of the post construction works for the Brunswick Heads to Yelgun upgrade. The Rogers residence will be assessed against the EPA environmental criteria for road traffic noise at this time,’ which, in fact, does not answer the question at all. The final straw for the Rogers has been the lack of noise mitigation measures offered by the RTA, the ďŹ rst of which was external canvas blinds to stop noise, dust and glare. Subsequent offers have been marginally more acceptable but still not anything like adequate for the extent of the impact the highway construction is having on their lifestyle.

Banana bonanza for local growers Banana prices are set to boom after nearly three quarters of Australia’s banana crop was destroyed by Cyclone Larry. After around ďŹ ve ‘pretty ordinary’ years due to drought, the region’s 150 commercial banana growers are predicting a boom for six months at least while the Far North Queensland banana industry gets off its knees. Mullumbimby banana grower and president of the Tweed Byron Banana Growers Association, Peter Molinar, says the next six months are going to be pretty tough for the consumer with retail prices expected to reach as high as $6 a kilo as fruit availability dries up. Byron Shire will probably enjoy a two week honeymoon while stocks are used up, then prices are expected to escalate. ‘Prices will go up dramatically until around November, then we will probably ďŹ nd there will be an oversupply of fruit as all the North Queensland fruit comes on the market together,’ says Arthur Akehurst, District Horticulturist with the NSW Department of Primary Industries. ‘Banana plants grow a lot

faster up there [FNQ] than here. They have a lot of work ahead of them to cut those plants and clear up the rubbish. The biggest problem [for growers] is the lack of income and a lot of expenses,’ said Mr Akehurst. NSW banana growers are used to receiving a price of $15 a carton for their fruit. Last week Coffs Harbour growers were receiving offers of $50 a carton as shortages began to bite. ‘Growers will have to

decide whether to supply the local market or supply the city markets. There are lower market costs involved in supplying locally, but increased prices coming out of the Sydney market will see fruit going there,’ said Mr Akehurst, who pointed out that Cyclone Larry had also destroyed avocado, macadamia and other tropical fruit crops. Peter Molinar hopes that local growers will be able to use this opportunity to get a

stronger foothold in the market. ‘I hope that local growers can get in there and get themselves a reputation. If they pack two different grades, separating the premium fruit from the lesser grade, they could establish a good name for premium fruit,’ he said. Mixing of poor and high quality fruit in the same carton by growers could damage repeat business when the FNQ bananas come back on line next summer, he warned.

Mayors call for more highway upgrade funding PaciďŹ c Highway mayors are to ask the state government for increased funding for highway upgrades in the State budget. Taskforce Chairman, Kyogle Mayor Ernie Bennett, has called on Premier Morris Iemma to increase the government’s funding commitment. ‘Traffic on the Pacific Highway has reached historic highs – there are more

cars, more trucks, and there’s more community disruption and uncertainty than ever before,’ said Mr Bennett. ‘The construction that is under way is welcomed, but there are many areas that will take years to be improved to safe dual carriageway standard. While Sydney’s cross city tunnel is 800 metres of problem – the PaciďŹ c Highway is 800 kilo-

metres of problem, with over one million Australians affected by it.’ Cr Bennett said the Taskforce, which held a strategy meeting in Sydney recently, was preparing for a busy year and wanted to unite the community behind a highway upgrade. ‘The $160m. committed in this year’s budget is not enough – at this rate it will be twenty years before the highway is upgraded. In order to upgrade the highway within ten years, the state government should increase the amount of funds going into construction, starting with this year’s budget.’

Cr Bennett said that the Taskforce, which comprises over 18 councils and NRMA Motoring and Services, had been pleased with phase one of the campaign to increase funding. ‘The â€˜ďŹ xourbloodyroads’ advertising campaign had increased public awareness and even won an award for the NRMA for its striking road-side billboards. The issue will not go away, and will only intensify during the year.’ He repeated an invitation to new roads minister Eric Roozendaal to leave Sydney and visit communities affected by the highway.

After tantalising our tastebuds with outstanding food and excellent coffee for the better part of a decade, Greg and Jo Fowler, pictured right, will close the doors at Cafe Al Dente for the last time on Wednesday. Having lived in the area for 16 years, and spend eight and a half years running Cafe Al Dente, Greg and Jo are keen for a change and are moving their family to Brisbane. ‘We need a complete break from hospitality,’ said Greg, ‘and we feel that there are better opportunities for our children in the city.’ After closing for a short while, new owners Frank and Lee will reopen under the name Bombay Cherry and will specialise in Indian cuisine.

Tucker moves to shelve Byron LEP The draft LEP (Local Environment Plan) for Byron Bay and Suffolk Park narrowly escaped being shelved last Friday at an extraordinary meeting of Council. Crs Tucker and Woods moved to withdraw the document from public exhibition and discontinue any further action. An LEP for the entire Shire should be started, they argued, not by Council staff but by independent planners. Councillors were split equally over the issue, with Peter Westheimer voting with the Greens, and Mayor Barham had to use her casting vote to keep the LEP alive.

The problem concerned the release of 350 pages of legal advice on the LEP. The advice was obtained by Council staff late last year, but has only just been circulated to Councillors. After being assured by Council staff that amendments suggested in the legal advice were minor, Councillors voted to put the document on exhibition without further scrutiny. Cr Tucker argued that draft LEP now on public exhibition ‘in no way relates to the draft LEP passed by Councillors last year’, and hence the call to shelve the document. Staff defended their actions several times during the meeting, explaining that the changes made were not of

a substantial nature. However a signiďŹ cant point that emerged during the debate was that Abbott Tout’s legal advice included major issues which staff decided not to incorporate into the LEP, but consider after the exhibition period had ďŹ nished, at the same time as assessing public submissions. The Echo and the public gallery were in the dark about the nature of these major issues as the advice was deemed to be conďŹ dential. What seems worrying is that these major issues were not reported to Councillors at the time. Cr Jan Barham believes she and her fellow Councillors should have been alerted to what General Manager Pamela Westing has described as ‘substantial’ issues. After a weekend spent digesting the 350 pages of legal advice from Abbott Tout, Cr Jan Barham says she does not believe the draft LEP is fatally awed. ‘I have already accepted that what is on exhibition is not able to be adopted because of some mistakes. However, I think it [the LEP] is redeemable and achievable.’ Cr Barham says she would like to see a second period of public exhibition for the document, once public submissions have been assessed and technical issues ďŹ xed up.

Dept support ‘I don’t support shelving the LEP, it has been a long time in the making. It is extremely relevant and we had the support of the Department of Planning to proceed,’ she said. A move to hold a public hearing did not get majority support on Friday. During the past few weeks, Cr Tardif has joined the business community’s call for a public hearing, how-

ever he voted against Cr Barham’s motion saying he felt it would involve ‘people being forced to pay money for solicitors and barristers’. The motion failed when it attracted the support of only

Crs Tabart and Lazarus. The LEP will be discussed again at today’s (Tuesday) Ordinary Meeting of Council this week. Q Comment, page 8, Letters, page 14

Diesel drivers can go earth friendly Lesley Patterson Biodiesel or fuel made from vegetable oil is not a new idea. Biodiesel produces much less greenhouse gas and pollutants, is cheaper than conventional diesel and doesn’t require any engine modiďŹ cation. So why haven’t we been swept away in a biodiesel revolution, particularly in an environmentally aware Shire like Byron? Less than a handful of service stations in Australia sell biodiesel compared to around 2,000 in Europe, says Anthony Michaels from North Coast Biodiesel, which officially starts retailing biodiesel in Byron Bay next Tuesday. Anthony’s company also supplies cooking oils to food outlets around the Northern Rivers region and collects used oil to send to a processor for recycling into biodiesel. The biodiesel revolution is only in its infancy and there are only a few plants in Australia currently recycling waste cooking oil. The process is fairly simple, but dangerous as Anthony found out during an early foray into the manufacturing process which left him several thousand dollars out of pocket after his shed burnt down. ‘Biodiesel is non carcinogenic, it has no sulphur or

benzine emissions. There are almost zero pollutants compared to regular diesel,’ explains Anthony. So why has biodiesel been so slow to take off? Anthony believes there is just not that much biodiesel around. ‘If all the cooking oil used in Australia was recycled there would still not be enough to fuel all the diesel vehicles. Most cooking oil is currently recycled but not all of it is going into biodiesel. A lot is going overseas to be used in soap manufacturing.’ Any diesel engine can run on biodiesel without modiďŹ -

cation, however the NRMA advises motorists should check with manufacturers to make sure the warranty will not be affected. The NRMA’s Jack Haley says there are plans under way to plant crops speciďŹ cally for conversion into biodiesel and government subsidies are available for building production facilities. However he questions whether the carbon dioxide savings from using biodiesel from dedicated crops will be outweighed by the carbon dioxide generated to produce, convert and transport

the fuel. The greener alternative, if ďŹ nances allow, is to switch over to a hybrid fuel car such as a Prius or Civic hybrid or a fuel efďŹ cient, low polluting car. To find out which cars perform best on the greenhouse friendly scale see www.greenvehicleguide. gov.au. In the meantime, diesel drivers can reduce their greenhouse gas emissions by ďŹ lling up with biodiesel. North Coast Biodiesel will be open to the public from April 4 every Tuesday and Thursday 7am-10am and every Thursday afternoon 3pm-6pm.

Finding himself unemployed, Jared Russell, pictured right, decided he wasn’t going to sit around and wait for something to happen; rather he was going to take the initiative and make things happen for him. So Rivercare Crew was born: a sponsored community service for environmentally minded people to work under. Jared approached a number of local businesses asking for $15 per hour payable at the end of each month, for which he will pick up rubbish littering the Brunswick River banks and surrounding areas. He fills an average of five bags per hour and has already collected over 55 bags from the riverside at Brunswick

Comment

Recognising the Papuan debacle Vol 20 #44

March 28, 2006

The cake has its limits The business community has offered no evidence for its claims that the draft LEP for Byron Bay could cause a tourist downturn of up to 50%. Over the past five years most Byron businesses have done well on the back of a healthy tourism market and a period of strong economic growth. At the same time the number of businesses in the town has increased. Even with stable economic conditions some businesses could well have felt the pinch as competition for the tourist dollar heated up. With a drop-off in tourism reported in many towns in NSW this year not just Byron Bay, it is unfortunate but not unreasonable to expect a downturn in income. If you think of Byron’s tourist market as a cake, there are simply a lot more businesses wanting a slice of it, so each person’s piece in theory is getting smaller. The LEP cannot stop tourists coming to Byron Bay. Currently between 1.4 million and 1.7 million tourists visit here each year and the LEP can only ‘fiddle around the edges’ to affect where they stay. It proposes prohibiting holiday letting from residential areas, but also permits the practice in the centre of town, serviced apartment zones and tourist areas. The LEP also permits development of other tourism sites such as Becton. What the LEP has tried to do is limit the spread of medium density developments, or blocks of units, in residential areas – a move which resulted from widespread community concern about increasing density in traditional housing areas. Landholders who want to develop can still build dual occupancies [subject to lot size] and garden flats are being proposed in most areas. A major drawback of the LEP is that it fails to accurately assess how much population growth will result through the changes it introduces. This has led to conflicting claims about population caps, population explosions, and a ban on tourism. Council staff need to allay fears in the community on either side of the debate by making these figures available as a matter of urgency. Maybe then everyone, from residents to the business community, can have a reasonable debate about the future character and size of Byron Bay and whether it is one that fits our expectations.

O

ur wacky Immigration Department has often been a serious embarrassment to its political masters because of its brutal incompetence – there are times when it appears that its operatives spend most of their waking hours prowling the streets in search of bewildered citizens to incarcerate just for the hell of it. However, successive ministers have invariably defended its misconduct in order to protect their own arses. It is therefore refreshing to report that the rogue bureaucracy has now caused a genuine diplomatic crisis by behaving with courage and integrity, and the government is absolutely horrified. By granting ten Papuan boat people temporary protection visas the Department has ruled that they have been subjected to unjust persecution and that their lives might be at risk if they were returned. And this in turn has reopened the whole argument about Indonesia’s occupation of the province it calls West Irian and Australia’s long-standing support for it. No-one seriously doubts that the occupation is unwanted and illegal; the selective referendum held in 1969 to legitimise it was recognised internationally as a fraud at the time. While the rest of the Indonesian archipelago (including East Timor) at least has a historic linkage as part of the ancient Javanese empire, Papua is utterly separate in every way – except one: it was part of what was known in colonial times as the Dutch East Indies. This is the sole basis of Jakarta’s claim to it, an act of blatant post-colonial imperialism. But at the time no-one else had the will or the energy to interfere, so the resource-

rich territory was delivered to its new owners to rape and plunder. The Javanese, reluctantly trans-migrated to become pioneer settlers and overseers, hated everything about it and took out their resentments on the locals, whom they regarded as savages. Army detachments, paid irregularly if at all, became privatised as enforcers for the exploiters, especially at the giant Freeport gold and copper mine. Gardens and fishing grounds were destroyed and villages burned. Dissent and resistance were ruthlessly suppressed with

Papua is even more tenuous, is clearly unconvinced. All the signs are that many influential Indonesians regard the refugee decision as the thin edge of a wedge -- a signal that the Papua issue is far from settled. Formal complaints have been made, the ambassador withdrawn, relations strained almost to breaking point. And Downer must now be wishing that the Immigration Department had stayed true to form and done its paranoid and dysfunctional worst. No wonder the minister, Amanda Vanstone, isn’t leaping in to claim the credit for reforming it.

All the signs are that many influential Indonesians regard the refugee decision as the thin edge of a wedge… by Mungo MacCallum random torture and murder. The escapees had every justification to be regarded as refugees, and it is to the Immigration Department’s credit that this boatload at least have been granted asylum. But it has thrown Alexander Downer into a terrible tizz. He has made what amounts to a grovelling apology to Jakarta for the department’s rectitude: it was an arm’s length decision, he whined, an independent process, things could have been worse if it had dragged through appeals, we really truly hate boat people, we just love the idea that Papua, whoops, West Irian is part of Indonesia and we’ll never, ever change that policy, scout’s honour. But Jakarta, with the memory of East Timor still fresh and aware that its title to

A

nd it’s not as if Downer doesn’t have a credibility problem already. It is now abundantly clear that he was telling a thundering lie when he told parliament and the public that his own Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade had cooperated fully with Paul Volcker’s United Nations inquiry into breaches of sanctions against Iraq. At the start Downer ordered the Department to stall on every front: no interviews, only the blandest of documents, a general policy of non-cooperation in the hope that it would all go away. The standoff endured for months; it was not until Volcker sent a stinging complaint which included the message that he already had the goods on the Australian Wheat Board and that it would be in Canberra’s best interest to stop playing

silly buggers if it didn’t want a public caning that the files were grudgingly unlocked. This, says Downer preposterously, was what he meant by full and willing cooperation. He could have put it better. Many years ago a fellow South Australian named Geoffrey O’Halloran Giles graced the parliament. Giles never reached the dizzy heights of the ministry, stalling at the lowly position of assistant whip. But he had a way with words. He was once left with the unenviable job of explaining why, in spite of overwhelming evidence of the urgency of problems with defence equipment, it had taken cabinet four years to come to a decision. Giles drew himself to his full height. ‘The government,’ he proclaimed indignantly, ‘in due course, acted promptly.’ Perhaps that was what Downer was really trying to say.

T

he Commonwealth Games have finally ploughed through the long-awaited closing ceremony, ending as they began: a defiant celebration of parochialism and mediocrity. They were most notable for the eagerness of the jingo-ridden crowds and commentators to greet anything remotely Australian with hysterical applause, regardless of merit. Against all tradition, this exuberance even extended to politicians although still in strict order of accessibility. Melbourne Lord Mayor John So easily outranked Victorian Premier Steve Bracks on the cheer meter, with our dear Prime Minister a distant third. Still, it was better than getting chiacked by cyclone victims in Innisfail, and the week watching sport with Janette must have been a nice break from the arduous task of not reading cables in Canberra.

Not happy Jan? I am thoroughly sick of the Byron business community regarding Byron Council as a fairy godmother who can satisfy their greed fantasies by a snap of the fingers. There is a constant flow of propaganda from the business community that what is good for them is good for Byron as a whole whereas increased business activity (especially tourism) actually results in higher prices for housing and goods in the shops no matter what your income. It doesn’t seem to occur to any of them that quite possibly Byron’s business downturn is because for some visitors Byron is already overdeveloped. More insensitive development will only take us further away from being the alternative lifestyle centre which gives us the edge over other holiday centres. We will kill the goose that lays the golden eggs. David Gilet

The dog debate refuses to lie down Q Good on Craig Potter (Letters, March 21) for having a go at Claire Lovejoy. I am a dog owner and am always totally disgusted by the behaviour of most dog owners I meet on beaches. My wife and I take our dog to Wooyung Beach about once a week always with a stout lead and always put him back on it if people or dogs are approaching. At that beach I have had to drag him into waist deep water to avoid the attack of an unrestrained huge dog, while the owner walked in the other direction oblivious to the situation. (It is easier to drown a dog than fight it off on land) After all the letters about South Golden Beach where we never go, we decided to visit one day and take him on lead for a walk in the designated dog exercise area. Guess what happened? The first person to enter the beach with her young child had an unrestrained dog, it ran flat out at us walking 100 metres away and attacked my old dog. I kicked the dog off and threatened it with a large lump of wood. The woman walked up and said, ‘Oh. it was just protecting my baby.’ I used to think cigarette smokers were the most selfish people on the planet. I’ve changed my mind. Dog owners who know the law and don’t do it are. And believe me, there are plenty around these parts. We have horses. Recently on Wooyung a pair of pit bulls dragged a young horse and rider to the sand and mauled the horse. Unrestrained dogs whose owner was totally clueless: ‘They don’t usually do that.’ I think militancy generally is a dangerous path, but my

Letters continued from page 9

I feel the main problem at present causing the conflict between local businesses and Council is: can we, as small unique businesses, stay in business through the next few years of the changeover from groups of raging yobs to inspired ‘spending’ seekers? What our main problem is, is high rents! Paying city rents in a small town. Who sets the CPI prices? If it’s based on real estate prices, then it should be going down (as are real estate prices) not up as it is every year… Otherwise all this work, on both sides will be futile, as the small, different local shops won’t survive and the franchises will be the only ones able to pay the rents. So much for us inspiring tourism with our uniqueness! I say let’s re-evaluate the high rents. Then maybe we can all stay in business long enough to see the rise for the better. Anna Walsh

Byron Bay Q Byron residents, I don’t know about you but I am sick of hearing how Byron Bay is losing tourism due to the LEP. Let’s face facts, it’s about time. I’m sick of tourists, just about everyone I know is sick of tourists, it seems the only people that like them are the business operators so they can sell their wares at over-inflated prices. Byron needs other industries apart from tourism, to have too many eggs in one basket is to build your community on sandy foundations. So to all the people that paid too much for a house so they could rent it out at holiday rates, bad luck, you were sold a lemon, why not blame the real estate agent who gave you a good story or look in the mirror to see where you went wrong. Don’t blame the council. Greed is not welcome in this area. Rents are through the roof for crappy houses because of people like you and your real estate agent, so when people can’t afford to eat it’s partly your fault and it’s time that you are all held accountable for your actions. Oh, and by the way I have a firm belief that trade will get back to normal when the businesses reduce their prices to the national norms. Perhaps the locals would shop in Byron again instead of going to Ballina or Tweed to save money and you would earn their custom back. That’s right, people don’t shop here because businesses screw them. So if you want more people walking in your business, drop your prices. I will actively encourage people to boycott overpriced shops,

let them fail, go without the item, send them back to the cities or send them out of business altogether. The private advertising that says the council is screwing us is a farce; the ones that have been screwing us for a long time are the ones placing the ads, it’s time to take the town back for the people by any means necessary. Shane Webber

Mullumbimby Q In response to Tony Narracott’s letter on how I must be the only person in the Shire that thinks Council is doing a good job. Well, I could not possibly speculate on that, however I do think I am one of many who realise that being in Council is bloody hard work and it is very, very difficult to get the triple bottom line stuff right in all your decision making. At least they are trying. I have worked in local government and with this Council on many social initiatives and I know it is difficult to please everyone. I am not a participator in the Shire’s favourite sport of council bashing. I tend to think one gets better results through cooperation instead of antagonism.

Cover-all terms A logical flaw in many an argument is described as ‘comparing apples with oranges’. Politician Bill Heffernan suggests Australian ‘fruit lovers’, faced with a cyclonically induced shortage of bananas, might substitute bananas with oranges. After all, they are both fruit, aren’t they? This use of such cover-all terms for individual instances and disparate entities is typi-

tic earlier this year there were no whale deaths but its ship the Farley Mowat could not stay for the duration of the Japanese presence in the Antarctic and this year intends to return with a bigger and faster ship. Sea Shepherd vows to stop any whale deaths in the Antarctic this year and a large fundraising effort to purchase a suitable ship is happening worldwide. Volunteers are preparing to hit Byron streets this Easter, taking advantage of the large number of annual visitors to the Blues Fest, to both raise funds and to educate people about the role Sea Shepherd plays in whale protection. To keep its integrity intact Byron must have more than a token love for whales. We are all in some way graced by their presence and the town as a whole benefits economically. If you would like to become a Sea Shepherd volunteer, you can text your name and phone number to 0413 008 625 or email me at seapeace22 @yahoo.com.au. A training day will take place the weekend before Easter and a dedicated team of volunteers put together. Sea Shepherd can be checked out at www. seashepherd.org.

of pipeline that brings me the Rous Water I have paid for over the last 25 years. If you folks want some of my water – OK, have some but pay for it. Pay enough to make you kick yourselves for not installing more capacity yourselves, or kick yourselves for not getting off your bums and hassling your councils and local members to enable you to get what Sydneysiders get – a realistic subsidy for improved domestic water-storage capacity. Just don’t expect to get my water cheap. It’s not. In fact, I hope to pay more: that will help move Rous Water to installing more capacity, rather than relying on 50s facility designed to meet the needs of the 35,000 Lismore water ratepayers of the day. Yes, I’m waterwise – a mulcher, a waste-water user, a piddler in the garden and all the rest of it – but we need more storage capacity, and we need to start paying for it now. So let’s start by jacking up the prices that non-Rous Water-owners have to pay for the water I invested in! Viva aqua! Steve Creagh

Letters a bit of a reputation for not grasping issues! And she does use words loosely. What Council can and did do was to resolve to classify the land as community land and then council can and did, rezone the land as 6A ‘active open space’. More significant for me however, is the ‘slip’ by Coman of what I believe to be the real reason for Ocean Shores not getting Lot 107. The ‘greens’ loathe the likes of Chum Vidgen, Max Eastcott and Ross Tucker (check Coman’s letter), and therefore to support any negotiation conducted on behalf of the Ocean Shores community by those three would be abhorrent to them (and her). It was with some curiosity that I wondered why Coman did not include Ian Kingston in that list. He was also involved in the negotiations to buy the land from Vidgen. Vidgen’s condition for the

sale at a reduced rate was that the land be used for sporting ďŹ elds. I am also curious as to the reason Coman names Bob Tardif in her letter. It appears to me that this is another vindictive attack on someone who won’t kowtow to the green agenda of ‘our way or no way’. Make no mistake, Ocean Shores, there is no environmental significance of the land in question as the state government found some years ago; this is all about ‘Tucker, Eastcott and Vidgen won’t win, the greens will’. End of story. It saddens me to see this gross misuse of council power but there again I have watched the ‘greens’ in Byron Shire for a number of years now and they have no respect for the ratepayers or residents no matter what they say. We do deserve better but it is a difficult message to get

across. The ‘greens’ of Byron Shire are an embarrassment – they will do the cause a great deal of harm and I think already have done. Veronica Guy

Mullumbimby

Fluoridation It’s a relief to see that at least some people haven’t swallowed doses of propaganda along with their 8 glasses of water a day, unlike the 61% in favour of adding uoride to our water supply. McLachlan and other writers have effectively referred to the results of nearly 100 years of medical and scientiďŹ c research proving uoridated water amounts to nothing more than systemic poisoning. If cancer, osteoporosis and genetic changes aren’t alarming enough, uoride in water has also been found to cause: birth defects and perinatal deaths, chronic immune system disorders, suppressed

thyroid function, changes in bone structure and strength, gastrointestinal disorders, joint pains, headaches, visual disturbances, extreme tiredness and ironically, permanent damage to teeth. Studies have also conďŹ rmed that uoride in water causes brain lesions similar to Alzheimer’s disease and dementia and that children exposed to higher levels of uoride have lower IQs. To make water, a basic human right, a chemical cocktail demonstrates a complete lack of ethics and logic – defying statistics and research provided by independent and government organisations, health care experts and a growing number of dentists. More importantly, if 39% of this region isn’t in favour of uoridated water, including perhaps many more given the framework through which the survey was conducted,

same Council that has the money to hire a QC to help them to make sure the community lose their sportsďŹ elds. Incredible! I agree with Conny Hogan. The only way Ocean Shores will survive, let alone prosper is to seriously look at moving the present Council on and electing one that will show more respect for the needs of the ratepayers. That way we may have more say as to where our Regan Harding money is going. Lennox Head D Hammond Ocean Shores

wouldn’t that prompt consideration of the adage – if in doubt, leave it out? Uncertain or hazardous activities typically warrant insurance agreements. It therefore follows that if questionable survey results or alternative advice led to the uoridation of our water, a signed liability agreement should accompany that action. Who’s prepared to sign on that dotted line?

Join the Relay for Life this Saturday Kaye Hall It doesn’t matter whether you’ve signed up for the Bangalow/Byron Shire Relay for Life or not, just come on down this Saturday from 2.30pm onwards. You can either register and participate or just come along, see what happens and enjoy all the entertainment, fun, and delicious food that will be on sale. The entertainment which will continue until 11pm will take place on centre stage or at various locations on the oval. You could also support a very worthy cause by throwing a few dollars in the donation barrel or buy a few tickets in the fantastic rafe (details at the end of this article) or join in a short auction of high quality goods. As well there will be lots of

laughs when the Bangalow blokes get together for all sorts of weird and wonderful shaves, waxes and hair colouring (head, mos, chests, tummies, you name it), the challenge is out to the men in other towns. The Sunsmart Relay for Life will commence with the opening ceremony at 3pm followed by the Survivor and Carers walk – anyone with or who has ever suffered from cancer is welcome to join in this one special lap around the showground (please register ďŹ rst). Cancer survivors are invited to ask their carer to join them before they all share aftenoon tea together. The rest of the teams then take to the walking track. Another moving experience happens just on dark when the beautiful Candle-

light Ceremony of Hope takes place. It is a time for the whole community to show it cares. To help build courage in those ďŹ ghting cancer and to remember those we have lost. Tea light candles are placed in sand in paper bags on which messages of love or hope can be written and these are placed around the perimeter of the walking track. There is a short ceremony and then all walk together for this one quiet lap. In the relay for life there are no speciďŹ c rules (except No Smoking). Basically people form into teams, do a bit of fundraising then join together on relay day to enjoy themselves and walk around the oval as few or as many times as they like.

Teams are invited to camp around the outside edge of the walking track or if they wish, go home and return in the morning. For those that continue walking the canteen will be open all night before a wakeup call for a free donated Cancer Smart On The Track Breakfast at 6.30am. The rafe will be drawn around 8am. Cleanup will start at 8.30am with prizes for the kids who help – see Michael O’Meara. Everyone is then invited to walk the ďŹ nal lap at 8.55am. Relay for Life Rafe – First prize: 4-5 star accommodation in Sydney and Byron Shire (some meals) plus return ight to/from Sydney for two. Second prize: $800 Byron Shire products. Third prize: Children’s computer.

Terry’s a walking miracle in the relay

Alex McAuley Terry Knibb is a walking miracle; in fact, that he is walking at all is a miracle in itself. Three years ago Terry, who had been feeling ‘under the weather’ for some time, went to the doctor only to be told that he had spinal cancer and needed an operation immediately and that he had only a few days to live. He was operated on the next morning, but the prognosis was still very poor, and Terry was left almost immobile, requiring a trolley to get him around. Doctors told him he would almost certainly never walk again. It appears that Terry wasn’t listening. Terry took himself to a personal trainer, Lisa Parkes, who started him on an exercise program aimed at building up his strength as gently as possible. ‘We started with 20 minutes to half an hour per week,’ said Lisa, ‘basically doing light weight training to strengthen his leg muscles as well as lots of balancing and core stabilisation. Over the course of a year, we’ve built up to two one hour sessions per week

including weights, boxing and bike riding and the results have been amazing.’ Terry’s progress has stunned his doctors and physiotherapist. He has gone from wheelchair to buggy; walking frame to cane, and can now walk unassisted around the gym. Lisa puts Terry’s success down to his attitude.

‘He is a very headstrong, determined person,’ said Lisa. ‘He made up his mind that he was going to walk again and has made sure that it happened. He has taken up every challenge that I have given him in order to achieve what he wanted to achieve.’ Terry is a member of Lisa’s team in the Relay for Life being held in Bangalow this

weekend, and will walk the ďŹ rst lap unassisted; the furthest he has walked since his diagnosis. Lisa has a number of sponsors which have given her rafe prizes and donations of goods for use at the relay, however she is trying to raise money for the Cancer Council and is holding an aerobothon at Byron Gym in order to do so. Anyone who is interested in sponsoring Lisa or any member of her team can contact her at Results Based Training on 0429 878 902. If you’d like to witness Terry’s remarkable achievement and show your support for the Cancer Council, then get down to Bangalow Showground this Saturday and be a part of the Relay for Life celebrations. A spokesperson for the Cancer Council said that they have been overwhelmed by the generosity of the people of Byron Shire and would love to see their continued support by coming to Bangalow on Saturday. Currently, there are 37 teams registered and the Cancer Council is hoping that the ďŹ nal number will be more than 40.

Byron Bay: whose town is it anyway? Q What a spin from Beacon, ‘Byron to drown in a ood of development, trafďŹ c and sewerage’.They obviously are feeling the heat, as our community questions the direction our Green dominated Council is taking us.They are clearly running scared.What are the real facts? According to the study on

exhibition, the draft Byron Bay LEP (DLEP) is based on the Byron Bay and Suffolk Park Settlement Strategy. Beacon addressed Byron Shire Council (BSC) on February 28, 2002, urging them to adopt this strategy, they were the driving force behind it. It was the foundation for a population cap based on

denial of infrastructure for new development such as sewer and roads. (Read town bypass.) This came before Council a number of times in 2001 and 2002, Council could not agree on it. Yet, today, we ďŹ nd this forms the basis of the DLEP on exhibition! Extraordinary. Council minutes of July 23, 2002, re new West Byron sewerage treatment works (STW), the following resolution was passed: 1. Seek Planning NSW endorsement of a DLEP based on the Settlement Strategy as reported to Council in 2002, or any variation of the strategy which will yield a similar population and tourism development load. 2. Investigate as part of the work for the DLEP the extent to which residential development in the 4a Industrial Zone might act against the population cap intended by the Settlement Strategy. 3. Investigate further the impact of festival events on the STP during peak ow periods, with a view to refusal if required. 4.Write to Planning NSW to request their assistance in maintaining the moratorium on new sewerage connections until such time as the DLEP is advanced sufficiently, for its intent to be applied to new development. (Wilson/Staples). Then GM Robyn Read wrote July 25, 2002, to Department of Planning as required by the resolution. Her letter outlined the real intent of the Strategy as a population cap.The Department replied they were not happy with Council’s proposed reductions in residential densities. Council has chosen to ignore the Department’s concerns. Beacon and those other Greens championing the DLEP want to lock the gates to new residents, downgrade the densities of large areas of the Bay, severely limit the tourism industry and essentially turn a thriving. prosperous community into a virtual welfare ghetto. Why is Jan still saying she supports tourism and housing choice, while at the same time trying to lock them both down? Why is she saying that Council has been working on the DLEP since 1988 and it is now based on the government’s new standardised template, when it clearly is not? Why did she want to withdraw it because of serious aws? Why is she reporting on the businesses moving out to cheaper premises at the Arts and Industry Estate, yet another compliance nightmare not dealt with by the

DLEP? Which bypass does she refer to, the proper one or the Staples red herring coming out into busy Jonson Street at Legend Pizza? Why hasn’t Council dealt with noise complaints, as they are empowered to do, with ďŹ nes up to $250,000? Their own excellent A4 sheet on problems with noises should be circulated to every home. Rangers should be used to clamp down on noisy homes as well as motorists. Byron Bay is the non-compliance capital of Australia, simply because Council has never done its job properly. Tony Narracott

Byron Bay Q The statement attributed to me in last week’s Echo makes little sense because a two critical sentences were omitted. These were: ‘In the draft LEP, Council is proposing to downgrade much of Byron Bay urban residential lands to a low or very low density zoning. This is a very signiďŹ cant move yet the impact is not measured in the Study.’ The article then included my remarks about the release of Belongil Fields and a potential increase in population at West Byron similar to Sunrise Beach estate in the 1980s. My remarks in relation to the omission of a housing supply and demand balance sheet reects a concern that it is not possible for either myself as a consultant or for the councillors as decision makers to make any meaningful decision about the impact of the draft LEP without a proper analysis of all the proposed changes. Any such analysis must include an analysis of the large scale removal of medium density entitlements throughout the existing 2(a) residential zone and not just the addition of new urban residential land at Belongil Fields. This work remains to be done. Hence my scepticism that others could argue coherently as to whether a population cap or population explosion is proposed in the draft LEP. Oliver Dunne

point is that those who irresponsibly holiday let without consideration for neighbors and community have stuffed it for the rest and if it takes a painful council policy to allow locals to live in peace then so be it. I am as wary and horriďŹ ed as any freedom loving soul with our increasingly controlled society but the freedom to sleep in peace is paramount and, Tony Narracott, I also think Council is at least trying to make a ďŹ st of a very difďŹ cult job. As someone who has been supportive of local businesses for years, my sympathy is beginning to wear thin. Especially after the treatment meted out to my hard working seventeen year old daughter who after being treated poorly at successive businesses has now left for Sydney. This is our brave new world under Howard where business owners have the right to mistreat, where the homogenisation of society has become a creeping cancer in our main street. Perhaps our ‘local’ ‘not happy Jan’ businesses could be a little more professional and scientiďŹ c in their analysis of the perceived downturn in local business proďŹ ts this past summer. For one, my investments in Australian shares have shown an almost universal slump in proďŹ t within the retail sector this past six months driven in part by soaring petrol prices which in turn have had an effect on families holidaying in cars. Simple, isn’t it? Just as it is absurd for Howard to take credit for our recent economic strength that is driven for the most part by global demand for resources so too it is absurd (but oh so easy) for ‘local’ businesses to blame a Green council for local economic performance. The second possibility that requires factoring into the equation is that the proverbial golden goose is beginning to choke under the sheer weight of too much tourism. I’ll invoice you for my consultancy fee. Mac Nicolson

Watego’s Beach Q The article makes perfect sense. Others can form their own opinion by reading it on page 4 of last week’s paper. – Ed Q I totally agree with you Ian Cohen (Letters, March 21). We are witnessing the cultural cleansing of the Bay. We are building a house near the beach right now and as we travel elsewhere every summer if we are able to holiday let it we will. The

Q In Michael Balson’s letter last week he states: ‘The Byron Bay Draft LEP 2006, while showing commendable regard for wildlife, treats much of the human community with contempt.’ I voted for our present leadership, I value this environment and wildlife, as most who live here do. Many relocated here for that reason – also fully aware Byron is a tourist town. We knew jobs could be scarce and therefore we would suffer a drop in income.

I have found people generous with their time and support for improving our far north coast world.This council seems short-sighted and stingy. (Blocking sports ďŹ elds and not endorsing the needs of the community at large.) Our environment is not only about trees and land and protection. It’s about people. Ocean Shores is a new area and with many young families, it needs a sports ďŹ eld, a skate park. It especially needs a better transport service. Teenagers need a normal balanced life. Our young people need attention in this shire as much as the fauna and ora do. Do our Mayor and Councillors have children? Are they concerned about them leaving home to find employment? Kids need healthy activity, sports and to learn good work skills, and be encouraged to mature in a town they can be proud of. If our young people learn to value this special place, they will remain here, raise a family, run a business – be good citizens/environmentalists and pay rates. I lost one daughter to Lismore when the train stopped running. One to Brisbane to ďŹ nd work and get off Centrelink, and my youngest to Sydney also to have a career not just a part-time job. All within the space of one year. My nest is now empty. What plan does the council have to create alternative business in this shire when tourism diminishes – already unemployment is substantial – with very few casual jobs for our under 18s, due to the discouragement of franchise businesses? How much worse will it get if we don’t embrace tourism and proďŹ table sustainable business? We live in a commercial world but with the correct planning we can maintain a balance so everyone wins. The alternative is the culling of a wonderful resource, our children, divided from their families, impossible for them to grow in Byron. Branches have been hacked away already – let’s not lop too many healthy trees, otherwise all this shire will be left with will be old twigs, no new growth. Wealthy babyboomers, retirees and the unemployed the only inhabitants. Families are endangered. many have lost their kids to Brisbane/Sydney or drugs. These are social issues and environmental issues that we seem to miss. Our kids need to be protected and nurtured so they can ourish. Let’s start thinking less about wildlife and a lot more about childlife. Kaye Irving

A man’s home is his portfolio John Campbell ‘There was music in the cafĂŠs at night and renovation in the air.’ OK, so it was revolution that was in the air, but hey, this is Byron 2006. Property and stuff and more stuff has put revolution to the sword. Cat Carer, weary of my grunge – ‘Kurt Cobain’s, like, dead, haven’t you heard?’ – gave me her copy of the latest Better Homes ThanYours so I could check out just how squalid my life has become. As if all those increasingly numerous McMansion ads at the back of The Echo had not already. The glossy pages fired me with appropriate envy and now I, too, am caught up in the house hysteria that has spread from the coast to the hills. Funny though, in all those spotless celeb pads, I couldn’t spot one litter tray. Which is a worry for Portnoy. Maybe I can make one for him. As a born again Handy Andy, I’ve moved on from bluetack and scissors and am seriousy tooled-up. I’ve even bought a pair of Blundstones, though I’m a wee bit overendowed with Allan keys. I get one every time I buy a new box of furniture. It’s the crucial go-to implement, the open-sesame thingy that enables you to put together today’s ďŹ endishly designed furniture kits. In my hours of numb industry I’ve often wondered who Allan was. Philip too, for that matter – and did the poor bastard really have a head like the pointy end of a screwdriver? I usually set aside a day to get the job done. It boosts my self-esteem no end to get up at the crack of dawn and have a brand new CD rack assembled by midnight. It’s the surplus nut or bolt that leaves me with the nagging doubt that the manufacturer’s best laid plans might have gone awry. Recently I had a sliver of prettily rippled black steel left over that bore no resemblance whatsoever to anything on the multilingual instruction sheet. Waste not want not is my credo, so I jammed it under

Local scriptwriters go Heart 2 Heart

For the past four months the search has been on for the region’s best story writers, seeking to identify and develop ďŹ ve stories that capture the history and spirit of the Northern Rivers region. The Heart 2 Heart project has received some fantastic entries from all over the region, and with the help of a panel of industry professionals has now selected six young scriptwriters who will have their projects developed and made ready for production. The budding scribes took part in an intensive script development workshop held recently at the Byron Bay Beach Resort with the objective of honing their concepts into functional scripts.

In the next stage of the process, they will receive individual mentoring from some of the regions best scriptwriters, who will guide the Heart 2 Heart crew as they craft their scripts to completion. To mentor these emerging ďŹ lmmakers a ďŹ rst class team of screenwriting talent from the Northern Rivers has been enlisted including Deb Cox, pictured above left, Charlie de Salis, Paul Davie and Belinda Chako, who between them hold a host of ďŹ lm and television credits and awards. Under the nurturing tutelage of their mentors, these young writers will, by the end of April, have six polished scripts that are ready for production.

Arts criticism mysteries revealed one of the legs of the computer desk that, despite my painstaking adherence to the manual, refused to stand ush on the oor. It’s steady as a rock now, another masterpiece of contemporary design, complementing the rest of my new household pieces that look for all the world like those webs built by the spiders that scientists gave LSD to. Ever the smarty pants, Cat Carer reckons my shonky

handiwork is the cause of my bad posture. ‘Not even Portnoy will get on that chair.’ It’s true, he refuses to sleep anywhere but on the floor. I argue that that’s because the oor is where all my clothes are and Portnoy has always been a cat drawn to the more pungent luxuries. She concedes the point and my honour is restored – I think. If only I could ďŹ gure what I’m supposed to do with all these satchels of silica gel.

Get yourself into stitches This year’s Stitches and Craft Show promises to be a treat for crafty types. Running from April 19 to 23 at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre, the show will include a display of stunning quilt designs from entrants in the Australian Quilt Show, smocking workshops and an exhibition of stunning needlework by students from the Sri Lankan Singer Fashion Academy. For a bit of fun there will also be a competition to ďŹ nd Aus-

tralia’s fastest knitter and crocheter, so if you think you’re up to speed you can battle it out among contestants in three minute heats. The show is open from 10am to 5pm daily and costs $14 for adults and $11 for concessions with special rates for families and those wishing to buy multiple day passes. The Echo has ďŹ ve double passes to give away; if you’re interested please ring 6684 1777.

Writing reviews is serious business. Careers may be shaped by the process, and sometimes egos, too. Arts critic, broadcaster and concert host Martin Buzacott, pictured above, will conduct a workshop in Bangalow on Saturday April 8 to unravel the mysteries of arts criticism.

! ! " "

The Be A Critic: Reviewing for Pleasure, ProďŹ le and ProďŹ t workshop centres on arts criticism in the broadest sense and examines how ‘critical’ thinking differs from the act of creative writing. It is therefore suitable for aspiring arts journalists and also all writers who are determined to improve their own work. This workshop is a rare opportunity for writers with an interest in the arts to put their skills to the test under the tutelage of a seasoned arts critic. Participants in this workshop will need to role-play in real time, burning the midnight oil to beat the deadline as every good reviewer must. Thanks to NORPA, seats will be provided for all participants to attend a performance of David Page’s oneman show, Page 8, in Lismore on the Friday night before the workshop. Following this they will go home and write a 400 word review of the

show which they bring to the workshop next day. These reviews will be the basis of the workshop, with Martin exploring the medium of review throughout the day and helping participants to rework and improve their pieces. Anyone with access to a laptop is encouraged to bring it along. The outstanding review will be selected by the group for publication in the local media.

Has Byron Bay lost the plot on tourism? Lesley Patterson It’s been a bad summer according to some Byron Bay busineses who say their revenues have been heading in the wrong direction. There have been calls for an increase in the number of tourists, but many believe the drop in profits result from a shift in Byron’s image and a change in the type of tourists the town is now attracting. ‘We don’t need any more tourists,’ says Chris Hanley, principal of First National Real Estate in Byron Bay, which together with four other agents manages 60% of Byron Bay’s holiday lets. ‘We are loving the place to death. This is a really good place and we’ve lost sight of that.’ Estimates of the number of tourists visiting the Shire vary from 1.4 million to 1.7 million each year, but Mr Hanley believes the figure does not account for day trippers, so could be much higher. ‘Look at Vietnam. In a country of 80 million people they have 2.5 million tourists. In Byron Bay, a town of 7,000 people, we get 1.4 million visitors. People don’t have an understanding of the real impact this is having on the community,’ he explains.

Hit a wall Chris Hanley says Byron Bay hit a wall three years ago in regards to tourism and is calling for a study which would identify the types of visitors and discover why they are attracted to Byron Bay. He quotes anecdotal evidence that indicates a trend towards an increasingly younger tourist market and a reduction in the number of families holidaying in the town. ‘We need to examine who is coming here then we can determine whether the town needs to change and the type of tourism to attract,’ he explains. Professor Robert Waldersee from Queensland University of Technology, and a resident of Byron Bay, also believes we need a plan to manage tourism in the future. ‘The town now has declining numbers of largely low spending tourists and the

profitable tourists have long gone elsewhere,’ says Professor Waldersee. ‘Neither the town as a whole nor the individual businesses within it have developed effective strategies for competing in the tourism industry.’ ‘The drop in tourism numbers and spend is the market’s way of telling us that Byron Bay is bad value for money. Byron is not competitive with other destinations. One option is to lower prices, which is nearly impossible given Byron’s cost structure. The other option is to push up the benefit to the customer by improving the quality of the destination. Realistically this is the only viable option and must be done soon if businesses are not to go broke. ‘Differentiation is the jargon.When Byron was a hippy town it differentiated itself from its competitors. Only Byron had it, and tourists were willing to pay a premium to get it.

Like any town ‘But far from using differentiation to compete, the opposite has happened. The town centre now looks like any crowded, low end surf town. Downtown looks like Kuta. The businesses in the town have also failed to differentiate from each other and from what can be found cheaper in other destinations. Surf shops, internet cafes and fast food outlets have increased in number faster than tourist numbers have increased. ‘A few years ago, the then Minister Joe Hockey predicted exactly what Byron is experiencing now. He noted tourism businesses are notoriously ineffective relative to other businesses, but have survived because of the unsustainable growth in the tourist market. The market growth created a flood of dollars that protected the businesses from their ineffective strategies. In effect, the loss of the differentiation of the destination has left Byron competing on price. ‘More growth will further degrade the quality of Byron and thus put downward pressure on prices,’ says Prof Waldersee.

Byron Shire Mayor Jan Barham has given a lot of thought to the type of tourist Byron Bay should be trying to attract and how to do it. Divers, foodies, health and wellbeing devotees and agricultural enthusiasts are likely to bring, she believes, a respect for the town and an appreciation of the natural environment. ‘The local diving industry is bringing people who have an appreciation for the natural environment and they obviously spend their money with local businesses. The organic food industry is becoming really big with many chefs offering a Byron flavour. It is in all our best interests to cultivate that,’ she said. A strengthening of ties between the accommodation industry and local alternative health practitioners could result in holidays for those wishing to escape the city and revitalise at local yoga retreats or try out alternative health therapies. Visits to north coast coffee plantations, permaculture farms or organic fruit farms

could also provide an opportunity to grow the agricultural tourism business, explains Cr Barham. ‘We can’t restrict tourism numbers, it is more about building a cultural change and who we attract to the area. With good management, the numbers may not be the pressure point they are currently.’ Professor Walder see believes we must identify what we have that is valuable to tourists, that few other places have and will attract high paying visitors who

respect the town. Our artistic community, subtropical environment, beaches, festivals, alternative culture, party bars and shopping all play their part in attracting tourists. While some of those assets are unique to Byron Bay he says that ‘beds, booze, beaches and our current retail mix are not rare at all’. ‘The only capabilities that are valuable, rare, difficult to imitate and where the value is captured by the town are artists and alternative culture. All the other “special” things about Byron currently fail this basic strategic test.’ So how do we make alternative culture and artists a key part of our tourism appeal, reclaiming the unique character we enjoyed over a decade ago. ‘An artist sitting in a house in Mullum does not create an experience in Byron. However if the artist’s works are placed on consignment in a local shop then this provides a differentiated shopping experience for tourists. When sold, the income helps support the artist that created the experience.’ Using this same logic Prof Waldersee says a number of relatively cheap and fast actions can be taken. ‘For example providing space for performers, buskers and artists; markets in town during the week; artists’ wares on consignment in local retailers; streetscape changes to reflect an alternative culture (this can be as cheap as the flags on bamboo, and enforcing compliance with signage laws); plazas that spread tourists to create the quiet alternative feel; Council

breaks for strategically aligned businesses such as yoga, day spas etc and so on.’

Rate burden While it might sound mercenary, Byron Shire needs to make money from tourism to pay for the services visitors require. If we fail here then ratepayers will continue to shoulder an unproportional amount of the burden. Chris Hanley says that the town has ‘stopped extracting money from tourists.’ A voluntary bed tax or a gold coin contribution from day trippers is one suggestion he has put forward to raise income for services such as more rubbish bins, toilets and parking. ‘We [some real estate agents] have offered to collect a voluntary tax from holiday bookings but that has been refused by Council. We should just send a letter to Frank Sartor [NSW Minister for Planning] and say this is a way of self funding and we need it now,’ he said. Council produced a Tourism Options Paper in 2002 which took a few small steps to planning for tourism. The employment of a tourism planner and a tourism and economic officer on staff at Council is currently underway and the extra pairs of hands will undoubtedly mean more focus will be placed on the Shire’s main industry. However, a solution will not be found without considerable input from the tourism industry, the community and the wider business sector. The train has come off the rails, it is now up to everyone to get it back on track.

Celebration to honour early Italian settlers Sunday April 9 this year marks the 125th anniversary of one of the most significant events in the history of Italian settlement in Australia. More than 200 destitute Italian peasants landed in Sydney in April 188. Within a year a number of them had found their way to the Woodburn region of northern NSW and were granted selections of land. Many of the other families followed

and established a community that became known as New Italy. On April 9, descendents of those original settlers will gather at the New Italy Museum on the Pacific Highway about 10 km south of Woodburn to celebrate the 125th anniversary of their arrival in Australia. The occasion will be used to launch two new books about the settlement of New

Italy. Both books will be launched by Dr Brian Pezzutti, also a descendent of the early settlers. The celebrations will be attended by a number of first generation descendents (those who had one or more parents on the original expedition). Celebrations will begin with Mass in Italian at 10am and continue with Italian food, music and entertainment.

Healing Sexual Healing Sexual

MANDY NOLAN ENGAGES IN A POLYAMOROUS CHAT WITH BABADEZ AND MAYA. I FELT just like Carrie from Sex in the City. (Well maybe an overweight Aussie one with cheap shoes). I was late for my lunchtime interview with Tantric Arts Teachers, BabaDez and Maya. I rushed in, made my apologies and plonked myself in their midst, third coffee for the day kicking in, adrenals pulsing. It took me ten minutes to make my mind up to order tea. Dez and Maya are the Prince and Princess of Sacred Healing. They look like people who have great sex all of the time. In fact, it only took moments before they mentioned that they in fact do. It’s a little intimidating. I’m nervous that I’m suddenly going to blurt ‘How about a root’ and my sophisticated facade is going to slip away. I’m renowned for making jokes about Tantra, a subject, I have to admit, I have little, or no personal experience of, but something I’ve made countless gags about. But suddenly in the presence of such present people, it all seems terribly

natural, and not funny at all. In fact, I’m finding myself curiously intrigued by these gloriously gorgeous, sensual and warm people. I start by asking Dez the obvious question, what is it that makes sex sacred? Like any good Master, he returns the question without a blink. ‘Well, what makes something sacred for you?’ Hmm, good technique. I mumble ‘Scarcity’. He laughs. Oh my God, an enlightened person with a sense of humour! What a relief! BabaDez is a Daka, his partner Maya is a Dakini. This means they are trained in the Sacred Healing Arts to teach, inspire and support others in their integration of the divine masculine and feminine energies. This is Sacred Sexual Healing that incorporates the emotional, spiritual and physical body... for anybody who wants to enjoy their body. BabaDez, who has been practising the healing arts for some 25 years, admits that what happens in every group is always different. ‘We feel where we are at. We don’t want to overwhelm people, but we want to get into their abundance

and their health.’ Since the sexual revolution of the 60’s and 70’s I thought we had become a lot more comfortable with our sexuality. Are we still not there yet? ‘We are taking it deeper. How can we use our sexuality to manifest better jobs, better health, better relationships?’ Maya adds: ‘In Tantra, Tan means ‘soul’ or ‘inner self’ and Tra means getting closer to everything. One of the tenets of sacred sex is that it starts

your clothes on.’ Maya comes in with a smile ‘Always with the lights on. There are people who have sex and don’t even look at each other. It’s Intimacy: In to Me See... That’s what people are afraid of.’ While Dez has been researching his practise and teachings for over two decades, he and Maya only met up five years ago. Maya said: ‘When he learnt my last name, he knew the connection. It’s Yonika. It’s an old Lithuanian name which means, The

‘Having sex with your eyes closed, or the lights off is like having sex with your clothes on.’ with yourself... We want to change the context of sexuality from dirty to sacred. To take it to a place that feels good for people.’ Intimacy and connection is key to their sexual practise, and isn’t something they laugh, that you can get with the lights off. Dez says: ‘Having sex with your eyes closed, or the lights off is like having sex with

Great Spirit of Yoni.’ So how does one suddenly follow the path of Sacred Sex? For Dez, it was the intuition that there was a crucial piece missing from the puzzle. ‘I had the feeling that something wasn’t being said. One of my biggest teachers was the Desert. My name Dez came from that.’ The practise that Dez developed

$EBI21B 1<<5BI

was closely linked to developing the sacred masculine in both men and women. ‘When we get a taste of a healthy masculine, as it starts coming in, all of a sudden, they realise a whole world of intimacy with themselves. What women and men both need to learn about, is a healthy masculine. It becomes a witness without judgement that creates safety and holds the space. ‘We’ve all learnt to role model a dysfunctional masculine. The Knight in shining armour is inside of all of us. The Princess that needs rescuing is in all of us. ‘We teach what it is to walk the sacred paths of celibacy, what it is to walk the sacred paths of monogamy, what it is to walk the sacred paths of being polyamorous.’ Maya interrupts with ‘What it is to walk the sacred path of no path.’ I was keeping up. But got a little lost at this point. Be quiet my inner comedian. Maya explains that the path of no path is when you basically just take it day to day, making choices free of fear. Just the thought of the No Path CONTINUED ON PAGE 23

Responsible Babies

Into the Blues...

HE’LL LEAD you through

MY GOD I am so in the Present. I am so right here. Right Now. Ten weeks, no ciggies. No booze. Nothing. Just beautiful unďŹ ltered reality. I feel like I’m opening my mouth under the faucet of life and taking it in, giardia, parasites, cholera and all. Nothing like just sitting there in your stuff getting a good old fashioned look at yourself and your life. ‘Does my chakra look big in this?’ Jesus, now I feel like a cigarette. Not true. I love breathing. Every time I take in a lungfull I think damn, I can’t wait for another one. Don’t tell me I’m addicted to that as well. I am thinking of starting a course of Breathing Patches, for people trying to rid themselves of the harmful effects of air. You just stick a big patch over your nose and mouth and in about three minutes you’ll be totally detoxed. You will also be dead, but at least you won’t be dependent anymore. At least you won’t be using a substance to cram those feelings back into the box. Humans seek substances to suppress emotion. Look at babies – addicted to the tit, agrant abusers of breast milk. Gobbling it down as if their life depended on it! And, we all know that breast milk is full of opiates. Those little jug junkies! If more babies just dealt

with their stuff, then we wouldn’t have as many addicted adults. Babies need to ask themselves, ‘why am I crying?’ ‘what is it I seek?’ ‘Why do I keep trying to ďŹ ll that hole with milk?’ They might be very small, but babies need to be responsible for their own shit. I believe it’s as babies that we learn to put shit on others. And why wouldn’t you when it gets such an instant reaction? It’s as babies that we also learn that we don’t need to change ourselves, as other people will do it for us. They’ve got the whole thing sorted. ‘If I’m in the poo for long enough, someone is going to rescue me.’ Babies are way too dependent. That could be the root of some of our major codependency issues as grownups. Babies could start paying rent. They need to get jobs. Babies need to really start looking at themselves. It’s about time they thought of others. Babies need to do workshops. ‘Babies who love too much’, ‘The Baby less Travelled’ ‘How to win friends and inuence babies’. I adore babies. I’ve only just realised that’s how they do it. They suck us in. But it’s a one way street with the little cuddle bunnies. It’s take take take. Ask yourself, when’ the last time a baby’s done something for you? When did a baby

ring you up and say, hey, how you feeling, lets catch up for a coffee. NO. Never. It’s all Me me me. Or Wah wah wah. I’m cold, I’m wet. I need a hug. Well wah wah. I feel like a cigarette. So much stuff just itting around in this ‘present’. So much me. Oh my god, I don’t think I feel like a cigarette at all. Wouldn’t mind some breastmilk though.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 21 terriďŹ es me. I’m a Path girl. I don’t mind the odd trek in the bush, but I need to know there’s a way out! The workshops offer guidance with such matters. While their workshops and talks offer inspiration for those looking to heal relationships and themselves, they also attract people who just come along because they are happy in their life, and happy with their sexuality and spirituality, they just want to make it even better. ‘So if your life is great, and your sex life is great are you ready to bring in more? Are you ready to learn what it is that you don’t know that you don’t know?’ BabaDez and Maya present a Talk at the Byron Community Centre on Tuesday 11 April, with a one day women’s workshop the following day. There are also Men’s Talks, Workshops and private sessions.

LIVEMUSIC I SEE RED! If you missed Fat Freddy’s Drop because you couldn’t squeeze in, then this could be the next best thing. The Red Eyes are funk/reggae at its ďŹ nest and are considered by fans and critics alike as being one of the few authentic dub/reggae groups to come out of Australia. It’s a 10 piece monster band that has been shaking foundations around the country with heavyweight bass and mind altering dub sound since their inception in 2002. These dudes are brilliant – watch out for their debut full length album due out in July: ‘Rude World’. They feature at the Hotel Great Northern on Thursday with Hot Rubba Glove as support.

ASTERIX RISING We have a huge amount of talent in our local area. We are literally awash with singers, musicians, drummers, ďŹ re spinners... it is probably why so much that happens around here is of such a high standard, for what is in reality a sleepy little backwater. Asterix Kitchen showcases some of the best local talent, and this time features Luca, an eclectic 3 piece folk/ roots band who draw from traditional folk and gypsy elements and combine them with folk/pop. The dreamy melody lines create the perfect backdrop to the hauntingly lyric driven vocals of Tara Luca and take you back to a time when not only the fairies lived at the bottom of the garden, you did as well. It’s also a wonderful thing to see a woman on a banjo. It brings tears to my eyes. Barb Dwyer also joins the line up. Her vocals and hurdy gurdy take the audience on a time trance travel machine including stops at Romania and Old Europe. It’s experimental, circus inspired and neo-classical minimalist. The Click Beetles are newly formed and combine Afro-latin and gypsy funk with a touch of Irish bog to get you up and jigging. Doors open from 8pm. Channon Hall, Saturday.

THE ALCHEMIST HAS LANDED

Alchemy, the gentle art of turning base metal into gold. Something that Dave Calandra knows well. This is the title of his debut album released through Vitamin, a folk roots exploration of guitar and vocals, turning simple roots riffs into folk rock magic. Built around acoustic guitar and vocals, the organic production creates a continuity through the diverse collection of songs and adds to the intimacy. Dave is an innovative, solo acoustic performer who has spent the last ten years honing his sound. Originally a New Yorker, he has taken the inspiration of the East Village and brought it to our village. This is a gorgeous album. Dave Calandra plays the Rails on Tuesday 4 April. QUEEN LIZ A few years back Paul Mac picked her voice to feature on his album ‘3000 feet high’. He said ‘her voice has to be heard. Idiosyncratic and quirky... what I love about her voice is the honesty.’ In fact her ‘beatlesque’ ballad which also featured Ben Gillies and Chris Joannou from Silverchair, received rave reviews from everywhere. Her vocals are like putting your head under a tap on a hot day. Shockingly raw at ďŹ rst but undeniably sexy, undeniably cool. She’s the electronic musician’s most coveted singer. Situation is her debut single and is released through Vitamin. She plays the Rails on Wednesday.

HURRICANES, FLOODS AND HONEYMOONS.

They have survived the oods in New Orleans, and they continue to push the political boundaries of bluegrass music. Full of ďŹ re and fury, Truckstop Honeymoon are hillbilly banjo plucking courage at its best. With a Seattle music mag stating ‘We gots a fella pickin’, a little miss plunkin’ and both of ‘em hollerin’ – and together they get to work on some bent broke story tellin. Truckstop Honeymoon got the chops.’ There ain’t nothing nice about Truckstop Honeymoon. They play banjos and wash tubs. They sing about adultery and oil reďŹ neries. It’s breakneck breakdowns or heartbreak waltzes. Like a Dodge with a burnt out clutch, their music has two speeds and no reverse. Katie Euliss learned guitar, piano and bucket bass in the streets of New Orleans. She scammed enough money from tourists to buy Lucky Strikes and smoked oysters for six years. Then she met Mike West. Part entertainer, part snake oil salesman, Mike lived by pickin’ banjo and selling CD’s that he claimed were a curative for hangovers and smallmindedness. Together they began a perpetual tour of North America, Europe and Australia. They spent their wedding night in the Tiger Truck Stop, somewhere between Lafayette and the Atchafalya Swamp. Truckstop Honeymoon was born. They play the Byron Bowling Club on Friday.

Locally we have a FIGHT of peace activists, a FRENZY of letter writers and a FEAST of opinions, often leading to a FIT of piques.

DANCINÕ NIGHTS Everything. I’ve always loved roots reggae and heavy dub so when I started making records it was always going to be a feature. I haven’t nailed it completely yet (hopefully that will come this year with the album). I grew up on Shut Up and Dance, Rebel MC and Congo Natty, drum and bass and my heroes Smith and Mighty. Basically beats and breaks with a dub edge are where my head is at as a black man from South London – roots and rave combined inna unique UK style.

Tayo, Byron breaks favourite, is back on his annual pilgrimage to get booty’s movin’. Your latest mix album ‘These are the Breaks’ has just been released. How will this album stand out from the crowd? I hope it stands out because the style of breaks on there are dfferent from what’s generally around at the moment – dub breaks with heavy vibes but also with melody. I accept if you don’t like reggae you won’t like the album, but I wanted to put my head down and go in a certain direction. I’ve done enough mix albums now to be able to do what I feel like so that’s how it was. The next one will be really different again – I’ve changed tack once more, something that will be evident when I get there and play... What are you up to production wise? Is your ďŹ rst artist album in the wings? The ďŹ rst artist album is indeed waiting in the wings, being crafted under cover of darkness and in a cloud of weed smoke and with a stench of coffee. King Tubby is watching over it from on high

and Smith and Mighty and mad professor are overseeing it via the phone and emails... You’ve recently been given a slot on radio one in London. This in some ways is the pinnacle of DJing on UK radio. What do you have planned for your show? I’m going to do my thing that I’ve been doing on Kiss for the last three years and bring it to a wider audience. it’s an entry level show on radio one, and if I do it right then hopefully I’ll be there for a long time. I love radio, and for a specialist DJ radio one is where you need to be. Hopefully I wont waste the opportunity. What inuence has dub and reggae had in your taste in music and production style?

You’re not with Mob Records anymore. Any chance of you starting a new label? Yeah I’m thinking about it, especially to put out some different dub inuenced stuff, not necessarily danceoor bangers. A label is a statement of where you are at, a ďŹ ngerprint of your style, so it’s important to get right, so I’ll take my time over starting a new one. It’s gonna be called Cool and Deadly when it’s ready. You’ve been to Byron a few times now. What do you like about this area? All the obvious stuff like the weather and the beach and my fave place the lighthouse. but after all these years I’ve met a load of great people there who’ve treated me really

well, and always made me feel pretty welcome. I’m looking forward to seeing them again. What sort of set will you be dropping in Byron? One to make people dance I hope, hopefully the type of set they haven’t heard all summer and won’t hear again until I come back in 2007. Then I’m going to dance all night on the beach with my mates. Tayo rocks Play> Wednesday night (28th) with support from Noodles.

MOVIEREVIEWS FAVOURITE MOVIE

QUOTATIONS TRANSAMERICA

DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE

Bree Osbourne is a man awaiting a sex-change operation. Unexpectedly he is called to New York to bail out Toby, his unknown son. The pair then head back to LA in what is ostensibly a standard road movie with weird twists. An actress playing a transexual man would be demanding enough, but making the task more complicated and multidimensional is the idea that Bree herself is also performing – but performing a role for which she does not know the script. Felicity Huffman does it brillaintly and writer/director Duncan Tucker never asks her to make a freak show of the character. The suspense of the situation – if and when Toby will discover the truth about his relationship with Bree, will Bree ultimately go ahead with the surgery – is constant. But with restraint and quick, subtle humour, the movie avoids browbeating you with gender politics. As bizarre as the story is, it is totally believeable and engrossing, and when Calvin the Navajo sings ‘Beautiful Dreamer’ to Bree on his New Mexico ranch, it is the sweetest moment you are likely to see on screen for a while. Funny, sad and blessedly humane. Don’t miss it. John Campbell

I had a little kip halfway through this and when I awoke nothing had changed. Just a lot of talking heads rabbiting on about quantum theory. There are physicists, mathematicians, a theologian and a mystic, Ramtha, who channels somebody or other – Zsa Zsa Gabor is my guess – in a movie that makes a cocky attempt to tell you everything about everything. If only that included the winner of the third race at Randwick next Saturday it would have been worth it. Breathing space comes with the storyline through which all is revealed. A photographer, Amanda, has one of those days where nothing goes right. Actress Marlee Matlin, the lip reader from Seinfeld, makes a valiant effort to bring sense to it all, but you hanker for Jerry to turn up and help out with a few good gags – not that Ramtha with her Sherlock Holmes pipe isn’t funny. I switched off when, reverting to self-deluding witchdoctory, the teachers started making god pronouncements. The cherry-picked science, targeting a google-eyed audience, ranges from the banal to the incomprehensible and, as cinema, it is bum-breakingly long and cruelly prosaic. All it lacks is the intro from Sandra Sully. John Campbell

Chris Rock: Bush did some things you could never get away with at your job. When Bush started his job, there was a budget surplus. Now there’s like a $70 trillion deďŹ cit. Now just imagine you worked at the Gap. You’re closing out your register and it’s $70 trillion short. The average person would get in trouble for that. Then he started a war? Now just imagine you worked at the Gap. You’re $70 trillion behind on your register and you start a war with Banana Republic because you know they’re selling better tank tops than you. So now you’ve got employees bleeding all over the khakis. Then you ďŹ nally take over Banana Republic and you ďŹ nd out they never made tank tops in the ďŹ rst place. ~ Never Scared (2004)

Syriana from writer-director Stephen Gaghan features a starstudded cast. The ďŹ lm examines the global implications and machinations of the incestuous relationship between America’s dependence on Mideast oil; the extremes the U.S. government will take to protect that ow; and the corporate world’s shady dealings in keeping others from encroaching on what they consider their turf. Told in the same multi-episodic manner as the Oscar-winning TrafďŹ c, which also was written by Gaghan, Syriana interweaves characters such as a CIA agent (a bearded and heavy-set George Clooney) who begins to uncover the truth about the undercover work he has been doing; a corporate lawyer (Jeffrey Wright) facing a moral dilemma as he tries to keep the government from interfering with the merger of two major oil companies; an oil broker (Matt Damon) who uses a family tragedy to further his career; an idealistic Gulf prince (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine’s Alexander Siddig) who wants to keep the proďŹ ts from the oil under his nation in his country to improve the lot of his people; and an unemployed Pakistani teenager (Mazhar Munir) wooed by fanatics with tragic results. By the end, all these stories intersect and layer each other. Syriana is rather complex, and at times difďŹ cult to follow. You need to pay close attention to keep track of who is working for whom, and who is following what agenda. Don’t let that deter you from seeing it, though. It is a mesmerising global economic and civics thriller that will — or should — start you thinking every time you turn the ignition in your car. Ross Goode

Lilith Mercury out of retrograde and the Sun in tearaway Aries suggest an excitable week in which too much is barely enough, tempers reach chilli temperature and boredom’s highly unlikely‌

GEMINI: This week definitely goes places and Geminis like that. As the cosmic gears gather speed you’re raring to get moving, but saying yes to absolutely everything will take you dangerously close to system overload. Exhaustion isn’t efficient – discipline and discrimination are.

SCORPIO: A volatile, emotionally charged transit. If you – or someone close to you – have been bottling things up, this week could blow the cork. Express your feelings honestly and talk them through – trying, if you can, not to lock into any kind of black or white, with me or against me stance.

CANCER: Turning adverse circumstances to your advantage may look to others like luck, but it’s actually a learned skill and the more you practice, the luckier you get. You couldn’t find a better week to start with, so ferret out its silver lining: some way you can benefit from the inevitable.

SAGITTARIUS: This enterprising, action packed, hot tempered week should tax your tact, patience and sensitivity skills to the max – but is that necessarily a bad thing, Archers? Just don’t be so strongly into full forward mode you forget to let caring, sharing, fun loving Sagittarius out to play...

LEO: Larger than life Leos (what’s space for, if not to fill?) usually evoke strong emotions in others, ranging from admiration to irritation. Your feisty flavour may not be everyone’s taste this week, but do you care? Unlikely, while you’re so busy giving an old idea a new twist and spin.

CAPRICORN: You’ll do your best thinking solo this week, but that doesn’t mean ensemble won’t be fun too. Don’t spend too much time alone, because others will appreciate your input – and have a richer week if you care enough to share your plans, concerns, frustrations or elations with them.

ARIES: It’s your birthday month, a new astrological year and a time of new beginnings: auspicious for a relationship makeover, career revamp, home reno, wardrobe refurb or mortgage refinance – any or all of them. Out with the old and time to reinvent your fiery selves – yet again.

VIRGO: The fact that this is Van Gogh’s birthday week gives you some idea of how stressed, driven, passionate and brilliant it could be. Difficult to relax, but that’s an absolute must, so do self-soothing things, don’t get too fussed – and it could be one of your year’s most creative weeks.

AQUARIUS: This week’s passionate, playful cosmic cocktail sparks wild ideas and some divine madness. And suggests an opportunity involving a major change will be successful – but that results could take longer than you expect to eventuate. Follow your instincts and you won’t go wrong.

TAURUS: Taurans tend to learn more from experience than theories, more from the school of life than they do from other people. This week you won’t listen, can’t be told, have to find out for yourself. You might make mistakes, but then aren’t mistakes always your best teachers?

LIBRA: There’s a demanding, argumentative edge to this week’s people, but they’re not unwilling to sit at the negotiating table – where as usual you’ll achieve peacekeeping miracles and make it look easy. And possibly find someone you judged a troublemaker may have a valid point.

PISCES: This week gives you the impetus to say no to messy situations, stressful connections and problem-creating arrangements in your life – to simplify whatever’s become too complicated. And a fabulous opportunity to fine tune your intentions for what you want instead.

YOU SING THE BLUES Congratulations, winner of our ďŹ rst round was Sarah McGregor. Two double 5 day passes to the Blues Festival are still up for grabs. Heat Two will be judged on Thursday 30 March, with key words ‘Factions, cream and multiple occupancy’. All you have to do is write a blues verse that contain the key words. The best and funniest wins. Words for Heat 3 are: ‘Holiday Lettings, labrador and divorce’. Email your entry to mandypow@echo.net.au or drop into one of our ofďŹ ces.

VUE TIX We have tix for readers who want to see the band that Rave Magazine has called ‘chic que amongst their Triple J contemporaries such as Jet and Wolfmother, armed with their own unique sound’. They play the Hotel Great Northern Friday 7 April. Email mandypow@echo.net.au

alongside Highly Gingered Tree Frog in a bed of Anxious Spinach, followed by an amusing Aniseed Sorbet lightly dusted with Cocaine. We toasted the great outdoors and its fondness for more oxygen than is strictly necessary with an excellent 1987 Frank Sartor Planning Takeover Cabernet Merlot, its bouquet simply stuffed with grace notes – or is that banknotes? – of hubris, the afterpalate a lingering testament to speculative subdivision cleared block weed fragrances. Among us was Cholmondley Nethergas, who was on secondment from the Moree Mad Toffs Club. He had been wearing a fragile look all morning, like a kitten with its paw stuck in a jar of Vegemite, and ďŹ nally broached the subject which had been occupying his thoughts. ‘I say, chaps, now that one has reached the tender age of 54, how does one tell if one is prey to – whatchacallit – a midlife crisis?’ ‘Why do you ask, Chummers?’ said Bosworth, who was busy picking dingo from his teeth. ‘It’s just that I’ve started dating a lass nine years younger than me and I wonder if that is a sort of symptom of chronological anxiety, don’t you know. To top it all, I own a red Jaguar XK-120.’ ‘Who doesn’t own a red Jaguar XK-120?’ replied Bosworth. ‘One’s companion needs to be at least 30 years younger, or preferably embryonic, before one is approaching a psychological crisis. That’s according to the Byron Shire Hopeless Old Lechers Tantric Pickup Manual, which is emblazoned with the motto, “You’re only as old as the woman you feel.â€?’ The conversation degenerated from there, and I wandered off to one side to privately toast lost youth. Time’s winged chariot hurries near, as the eminent politician Andrew Marvell once noted, and nothing will stay it from leaving deep wheel marks across one’s back. In the brief moment of existential grace which is the only glory life gives to us, I wrestled with a grass tick for possession of my forearm, and won out by drowning it in a wicked bead of absinthe.

ONE OF the more unfortunate provisions we accidentally packed for our picnic was the Not Happy Jam, a preserve which seemed constituted chiey of sour grapes. It had been issued in limited quantities by the Byron Bay Marmalade and Rent Gouging Society, whose aim other than the culinary seemed to be the application of crowbars and coconut oil in order to cram as many paying bodies as possible into the already bulging town. The jam proved inedible and we later consigned it to the munitions cellar for possible inclusion in explosives at the next ďŹ reworks night when we cleansed the neighbourhood of chihuahuas – more combustible than comestible. Yes, gentle reader, we left the elegantly comfortable comfort zone of the Myocum clubhouse and ventured out into the wilds for a picnic. Our convoy of black Bentleys took us up into the Mt Jerusalem National Park along the gravel road at the back of Main Arm Upper Upper In Extremis and onto the sleepy little hamlet of Uki, its hostelry marked chiey by the line of high-powered motorcycles – elegant Ducatis rubbing shoulders with sociopathic Harleys – occupying most of the nearby kerb, and thence to the Border Ranges and the Bar Mountain Picnic Area. Legend has it that the loop walk in the vicinity takes one to panoramic vistas of valleys and underneath moss-bedecked trees of extraordinary proportions but one would need a decent pair of lungs and the calves of Achilles, or at least Brad Pitt, to undertake such a venture. Instead, we had the more muscular Tongan valets clear the picnic ground of riffraff and spread out our damask tablecloths – one particularly ďŹ ne example was acquired from a descendant of emperor Louis Bonaparte III’s concubine, who used to sleep naked under it inside a gold-plated pyramid – and set to like devoted trenchermen, which indeed we are. Chef had prepared Rack of Dingo with Attenuated Coulis of Feral Apricot, nestled

I say tomato

Mullumbimby

Vi c t o r i a C o s f o rd ‘TOMATOES $1 a kilo,’ said the roadside sign on the way to Bangalow: I simply had to turn back and investigate. Limited time meant that the winding dirt track I chose over another could not be endlessly pursued – I had visions of driving deeper and deeper into wild goose territory – and so I was obliged to abandon the hunt. In my mind I had already been pouring boiling water over a big basinful of them, slipping off their skins, chopping them roughly and simmering them in olive oil and onions, then ďŹ lling my freezer with batches of gorgeous home-made tomato sauce. Now, of course, begins the time for such cosy stocking-up-for-winter pursuits. In Italy, it is late summer-into-autumn when families commence the bottling of their tomato salsas which generally see them through the year. It tends to be Mediterranean countries such as Italy where people experience their great tomato moments – moments, no doubt, enlarged and embroidered by memory – and yet it is too easy to despise the ones we grow here, which seem to improve all the time. Disregard the supermarket ones, gassed to a pitch of appetising redness but almost without avour; seek out instead those sold at growers’ markets or roadside stalls, grown on the vine like God meant them to be. Tomatoes fall into the category known as ‘fruit vegetables’ – in Europe they were originally referred to as golden or love apples. They are of extraordinary versatility, and could be considered a universal ingredient. Apart from raw and cooked they may be preserved by drying out, either naturally in the sun or commercially. The semi-dried variety – whereby colour, plumpness and avour have been intensiďŹ ed by rather than sacriďŹ ced to dehydration – seem to have replaced in popularity the chewy blood-dark sun-dried ones which, for a while, monopolised most cafe menus, and not a bad thing either. I ďŹ nd that the best ones are actually the ones you can do yourself in an ordinary old oven set as low as you dare. Roma tomatoes work most pleasingly, though any type will do: simply slice them in half and lay them cut-side up on a baking tray. Season with salt, freshly ground black

pepper and a little sugar, strew with the tiny leaves of fresh thyme, scatter balsamic vinegar over with restraint then drizzle olive oil on top. Into the oven for several hours – they will crinkle up and dry out but should not darken too much – you will know when they are ready. Packed neatly into a container and refrigerated they will last at least a week. This is one of the ways I will use those tomatoes when I go back to track them down – the other way will be to turn them into a Basic Tomato Sauce. (Garlic and onion softened in olive oil, peeled and preferably seeded tomatoes added and seasoned, the whole lot left to bubble gently for half an hour.) The best Tomato Sauce I ever observed in the making happened, unsurprisingly, in Italy. Back from the markets came the chef with a box of very ripe, bruised, awed and imperfectly shaped tomatoes: he washed them then tumbled them into a deep pot with a hefty slug of olive oil, some coarsely chopped onion, garlic, celery and carrot and a bay leaf. He brought everything to the boil then lowered the heat to a simmer, and kept simmering for several hours. After that, he passed it all through one of those giant sieves that look like witches’ hats, seasoned it, and pronounced it perfect. It was.

Sports Roundup with Alex McAuley Ocean’s eleven will swim in state carnival Valley combines youth with experience Brunswick Valley continues to improve its performances in the Anzac Cup soccer. In recent weeks it has been the youngsters who have stood out, but on Sunday it was the turn of the more experienced players in defence to have their turn in the spotlight. This week the A Division team fought out a gritty 2-2 draw against a very useful Bangalow side. The Valley boys were under pressure for most of the first half and were fortunate to get to the

break only 1-0 down, due to some great defensive work by Damien Kearns-Stokes and Justin Isaac. Bangalow hit the woodwork several times and Valley were only kept in the game by a couple of fingertip saves from veteran keeper Stevie Edmonds. Valley started brightly after the interval, and were soon level due to another outstanding goal from exciting new prospect Casey Mills. The striker pounced on a poor clearance by the Banga-

low keeper and kept his head to chip into the net, with the defence racing back to cover. Minutes later, Aaron Duffey had put the Valley into the lead with his trademark goal – a blistering run followed by a smooth finish. A late Bangalow equaliser saw the game finish in a draw. The B Division side had an unhappy time at Alstonville with midfield general Mark Stephens being sent off for only the second time in his long career.

Starting them young in Tens comp

Successful members of Ocean Shores Aquatics from front to back: Tristan Ludlow, Lorne Greenlaw, Jake Musgrave, Danni Rowland, Camille Moir, Megan Lacey, Ashley Sheridan, Sara Howard, Kaarly Moir, Jeda Greenlaw, Jasper Kelly absent.

As another season of swimming is coming to an end, Ocean Shores Aquatics would like to congratulate all of its swimmers for their tremendous efforts. They all have achieved so much in the short time OSA has been operating. The culmination of all the hard work everyone has put in this season is that 11 swimmers have been successful at regional level and will now go on to represent the North Coast at the state swimming championships later this year.

One youngster who deserves a special mention is Lorne Greenlaw, who in only his second season of swimming was the outstanding performer at the regional titles, winning gold in the junior boys 50m breaststroke, 50m backstroke, 50m freestyle and 200m individual medley in which he smashed the previous record, and silver in the 50m freestyle. He was also age champion and won the ‘Swimmer of the Meet’. ‘I have enjoyed the journey with every one of you, from

learn to swim through to squad levels, sharing many magical moments, disappointments, success and laughter!’ says Adrian Filipic, swim coach at OSA. ‘The parents’ dedication and commitment to their children’s swimming is amazing and appreciated. To the 11 swimmers representing this region at State level, it is a dream come true for me. As their coach, I feel very privileged to have guided them towards their success. I look forward to next seasons’ challenges.’

Red Devils to undergo rigorous re think Byron Bay Rugby League Football Club is undertaking a strategic review in 2006, the aim of which is to produce a five year plan to take the club into the future. Three local business people are working on the strategy group: Graham Bassett, a barrister, Rae McEwen of Victoria’s at Watego’s and Ewingsdale, and Lincoln Gillam, a radiologist who recently joined a practice in the area. They are working with two club committee members Luke McMahon and George Petrou. ‘Developing League in an ageing community in which the demographics are new arrivals with no children is a challenge for the club,’ said

Bassett.‘The club is excellent at developing young players. It needs to hold these players in the community and also attract robust outside talent.’ The club wants to diversify and seek new sources of income. The Blues Festival intends to seek a new venue outside the Bay creating an opportunity for new festival promoters who might want to use the club grounds,’ Bassett said. The strategic planning group will focus their efforts in three areas. Rae McEwen is examining promotional opportunities and ways of utilising club facilities; Lincoln Gillam is looking into club governance issues and

cooperative ventures with other sporting bodies; Graham Bassett will hold community meetings with club stakeholders including senior and junior players and coaches, parents of junior players, club sponsors, committee members and club members. The strategy group hopes to report its initial findings in September 2006 for eventual ratification by members at the December Annual General Meeting. Any person interested in contributing to the strategy plan or attending the stakeholder meetings should contact Graham Bassett on 0414 986 158.

NSW Sport and Rec holiday camps Forget the TV and play station and get active these school holidays with one of NSW Sport and Recreation activities. Cluster Coordinator Karen Howes said, ‘Not only do we have our previous programs on offer we have also introduced new programs includ-

ing white water rafting, new kayaking adventures and a chance to learn acrobat activities with the Spaghetti Circus.’ The holiday programs run from April 18 to 28 and are for boys and girls aged six to sixteen. Costs start at $54 and vary depending on

equipment, transport and food. Programs will run in Ballina, Coffs Harbour, Lismore, Mullumbimby and Lennox Head. For bookings or further information please contact NSW Sport and Recreation on 6687 7168 or visit www.dsr.nsw.gov.au.

Last weekend saw the inaugural Coast Cup Tens rugby contested by Byron Bay, GPS Old Boys, Lennox Head and Mullumbimby. Despite the venue having to be changed at the last minute to the Red Devils Leagues ground due to the weather, there was a great turn out from supporters of all four clubs. With competition points being awarded by quarter and not by game, all sides displayed great attacking rugby throughout the day. The usual passion of a Byron/ Mullumbimby game gave the boisterous crowd something to cheer about early on and left both teams looking forward to the ashes game later in the year. GPS and Lennox fought down to the last quarter to decide who would take the trophy in the most entertaining and last game of the day, and despite some fantastic individual play from Lennox, GPS held out to claim the Coast Cup. The day’s fun did not end at the last whistle, however,

as the teams moved on to the Rails Hotel to celebrate their achievements well into the night. This weekend Byron Bay plays Evans Head at Evans

Head in the first round of the Village Competition. All our supporters are encouraged to make the trek and support the team. For kickoff time call Matt on 0437 656 984.

An exciting night at Oz Tag finals Exciting finishes were the order of the night at the Mullumbimby Oz Tag Grand Finals. In C grade, the lead changed a number of times in a tense contest before the Coneheads finally triumphed 7-6 over Dangas Demos. B grade so the Merkins leading for the entire game until the last five minutes when the

Crankin

Bullrouts scored two tries to sneak home 9-8. In A grade, Shibby Kings had gone through the season undefeated and were hot favourites, however Dark Horses lived up to their name and played superbly, racing to a 6-1 lead. Shibby Kings responded but weren’t good enough on the night, and

ended up going down 8-6. Best and fairest for the season were Maree Nelson and Soddie Siamea; well done for a very consistent season. Winter Oz Tag will kick off in early May. If you have any any enquiries, please ring either Serge Brecard on 6680 1678, or Rick Bourke on 0412 758 701.

Sports Roundup with Alex McAuley Smith takes state carnival by storm

Callum Smith, a year six student at St John’s in Mullumbimby, has come back from the recent Catholic Primary Schools State Swimming Carnival with no less than ďŹ ve gold medals. Competing in the senior boys division, Callum won the 50m and 100m freestyle events, the 50m butterfly, 50m backstroke and 200m individual medley in which he beat his personal best by three and a half seconds.

Principal at St John’s Bernie Thompson, who was also the Lismore Diocesan team manager for the carnival, is very proud of Callum’s achievements. ‘Callum is such an unassuming child,’ said Ms Thompson. ‘He is a very quiet achiever and never boastful about his ability.’ She went on to explain that the Catholic schools run their carnivals by dividing the state into two regional

teams: Polding and McKillop with Polding representing country NSW. Because the two areas are so vast, it is usual that a child who performs well at the state carnival will go on to do very well at the PSSA state swimming titles. Callum will now go on to represent Polding at the PSSA state swimming carnival which will be held on April 12 and 13 and we wish him every success.

Register now Hard hitting Healey for Camp Willing and Able Around 40 children with disabilities will once again descend on Lake Ainsworth at the 11th annual Camp Willing and Able run by NSW Sport and Recreation. The camp gives participants the opportunity to take part in activities like sailing, canoeing, archery and beach games. North Coast Cluster Coordinator Karen Howes said that it is a great chance for children to have a weekend away, try some new activities and make some new friends. It also gives their mums and dads a well needed break. The camp is open to children aged between nine and 16 and will be held from May 6 to 7. The cost of the camp is $160 which includes accommodation, meals, activities and a free t-shirt. Enrolments close Friday 28 April. Anybody who is interested in becoming a volunteer carer for the weekend should also contact NSW Sport and Recreation. For bookings or further information please contact NSW Sport and Recreation by phoning 6687 7168 or visit their website at www. dsr.nsw.gov.au.

Mullumbimby Primary School’s school captain Gene Healey (pictured) is deďŹ nitely representing his school in his new role extremely well. He recently won every match at the Far North Coast PSSA tennis trials, qualifying him to participate in the North Coast PSSA Knockout Tournament in Sawtell. This event is organized to ďŹ nd the most talented Primary School tennis players from the north coast to then play in the NSW state ďŹ nals

to be held in Wagga Wagga in early May. Gene made it through the pools only dropping one set after a tightly contested tie break. In the ďŹ nal playoffs, Gene’s skills proved him worthy of a shot at the State titles. ‘Some of these kids hit as hard as the men’s comp,’ said Gene, who has been playing men’s A grade comp in Mullumbimby since he was 10. Gene is looking forward to playing against the state’s best ‘little guys’ in May.

Residents of the Cemetery Road area in Byron Bay should have a gander at the draft LEP. It has the potential to eventually exclude dogs from the area, though how Council would actually enforce this provision is beyond our ken. Q Q Q Q A Tibetan flag flew from Council’s agpole recently to show local support for Tibetan Uprising Day. To recognise the strong links forged between Australia and the USA, Cr Ross Tucker has moved that Council ies the US ag on American Independence Day in July. Defence agreements are possibly the best recognised links, Cr Tucker says in his motion, citing Australian support from Vietnam to Iraq. ‘‘For its part America has commenced to recognise that those ghastly Californian wines are vastly inferior to our products,’ he says with tongue ďŹ rmly in cheek. The issue will be debated at today’s (Tuesday) Council meeting. Q Q Q Q Balloonists in the Shire should be aware that natives in the hills are getting restless over the levels their conveyances reach when passing over over houses. Go higher for good times. Q Q Q Q Athletes visitng Australia for the Commonwealth Games or the Olympics disappear with such regularity we reckon Absconding should become a sport.

Simply forget anything about it and carry on as if you know nothing about series 5. Q Q Q Q There is apparently some good to come out of Cyclone Larry’s visit to Far North Queensland last week. Professor Ove Hoegh-Guldberg from the University of Queensland was expecting a potentially disastrous coral bleaching event on the Barrier Reef because of skyrocketing ocean temperatures. Larry’s wind cooled the ocean waters averting the bleaching and possible death of up to 60% of the reef. Q Q Q Q Thanks to the Commonwealth Games we all get an extra week of lying in bed. The end of daylight saving has been delayed until this Saturday, don’t forget to put your clocks back an hour on Saturday night and look forward to the sun peeking through the curtains at 5.56am. Q Q Q Q Clueless Kim wants to censor the internet, showing that in social policy the Labor leader is now no better than the worst of the Liberal Party. At the drop of a hat these ratbag warriors will conduct a war against porn, a war against drugs, a war against terror – all preludes to the war against personal freedom.
