Storm surcharge seeks to lower flooding levels Lesley Patterson Easter Saturday’s deluge in Byron Bay was the third time in a year that the town has experienced an intense drenching. Around 220 mm fell on Byron Bay in a fairly short period on Saturday April 16 once again submerging parts of Byron, Lawson, Fletcher and Middleton Streets as the stormwater system failed to cope. Eight years ago in 1988, Byron Shire Council completed a plan for upgrading the stormwater system in Byron Bay. It came with a $2 million price tag for the necessary works and due to lack of funds none of those works have been completed. Luck-

ily over most of that eight years, Byron Bay has been spared from many intense rainfall events. Council’s general manager Pamela Westing says that forecasters are predicting more severe storms so from now on the problems will only get worse. Last week Councillors voted to introduce a $25 a year stormwater levy for every household in urban catchments in the Shire. Predicted to raise around $250,000 each year the levy will inject much needed funds for the upgrade of the ailing and ancient stormwater system. ‘In the past we put in pipes and connected to the existing

drainage system. This was often done in an ad hoc way and has been made worse by more intensive development on some lots than before,’ explained Ms Westing. Currently rainwater drains out of Byron Bay town centre either via a stormwater outlet at Clarkes Beach, known locally as The Drain, or through an open drain by the market site in Butler Street which flows into the Belongil. The volume of water coming out of The Drain on Easter Saturday night was evident by the height of the eroded sand on either side. ‘Byron Bay town centre is very low and very flat and it all drains to two main points. If intense rainfall coincides with high tides then there could be an issue because the rain won’t be able to get away,’ said Council engineer Michael King. Luckily on Easter Saturday the tide was

NSW Health Minister John Hatzistergos has given the official go-ahead for the call for expressions of interest to acquire land for the new Byron Shire Central Hospital. North Coast Area Health Service is now advertising for expressions of interest from landowners willing to sell sites larger than six hectares. ‘The new hospital will complement the planned expansion of services at Ballina Hospital, which includes community health, to meet the needs of the North Coast’s growing population,’ he said. In mid-late 2003, a 25-

member joint consultative committee representative of the Byron Shire and Ballina communities held several meetings to consider the planning of coastal hospitals and health services. Broad agreement was reached on the configuring of services at the two hospitals, and since then North Coast Area Health Service and the Department of Health have been working on further developing the best models for the facilities. Byron Shire Mayor Jan Barham welcomed the announcement but stressed that surgery services must be

included in the new hospital. ‘Late last year, as part of ongoing discussions, I spoke to both the Premier and the Minister for Health about the new hospital for Byron Shire and again reiterated the need for surgery services to be included in the hospital project,’ said Cr Jan Barham. ‘They both confirmed that the hospital was proceeding and that it was on track. I am very pleased that the Government has now committed to the project and guaranteed that surgery services will be available. There has been many years of hard work

done by community representatives on consultation committees and they deserve our thanks. ‘It is now vital that the new services be delivered as soon as possible. With the shire’s population increasing and the importance of tourism to the area, it is essential that there are adequate care services available. The excellent focus on birthing is a welcome recognition of the outstanding work that has been done in the area, particularly at Mullumbimby hospital,’ said Cr Jan Barham.

Who would have thought the words of a song by Mississippi country and western singer Tammy Wynette would be used in a campaign to support an Australian mayor? Stand By Your Jan T-shirts, supporting Byron Shire Mayor Jan Barham, made their debut at the recent Blues and Roots Festival. The shirt was the creation of a bunch of friends who, including Byron Bay resident, La Rosa, who wanted to reply to the recent Not Happy Jan T-shirt campaign. ‘There has been a lot of criticism of Jan Barham of late from various directions. We know what Jan has done and are supportive of her work. We thought the attacks

were too personal and thought this [the T-shirt] was a way of displaying public support for what she has done,’ said La Rosa. ‘I understand the idea was started by people out there who were insulted by the negative T-shirt campaign. It is lovely that people have chosen to do something positive,’ said Cr Barham on Monday. Renowned American musician and activist Michael Franti is among those who have chosen to don the new T-shirt. He has been taking surf lessons with Ian Cohen during his stay in Byron Bay and once he saw Ian’s shirt was happy to pose for the camera wearing one of his own.

Western highway upgrades threaten water supply The water quality for 30,000 residents is being threatened by the RTA’s PaciďŹ c Highway upgrade, says Rous Water. Rous Water has made submissions to the RTA aimed at protecting local water supplies at Emigrant Creek, which it is concerned may be affected by the PaciďŹ c Highway upgrade if it was allowed to go west of the current alignment. Four routes have been shortlisted by the RTA for the PaciďŹ c Highway upgrade between Ewingsdale and Tintenbar. Russell Kelly

from Rous Water told The Echo that the southern parts of routes A and B near Newrybar will be closer to the catchment of Emigrant Creek. ‘It is not just the construction period but runoff from the road and the threat of spills from road accidents. There are also some issues north of Bangalow where the alignment could be a problem for the Lismore Source,’ said Mr Kelly. Rous Chairman Philip Silver says he is concerned that despite making its position clear the RTA do not appear

low at the height of the downpour so the stormwater could drain away freely. The 1998 stormwater plan is currently being updated and incorporated into a new tome, the Belongil Floodplain Management Study, which Michael King says will identify what works need to be done. With an income injection of $250,000 a year Council

should ďŹ nally have the funds to start tackling the stormwater problem. However Michael King points out that Byron Bay alone could well require $2 million and other ood ‘hot spots’ in the shire will also need to access the stormwater levy pot. During the January oods Bangalow’s Deacon Street went under several metres of water, Wilfrid Street at Billinudgel regularly sub-

merges and problems have been identified in South Golden Beach, New Brighton, Mullumbimby, Brunswick and Ocean Shores. Depending on each individual situation state government funds may also be available to swell Council’s coffers, however Council says it will be a case of prioritising the works and tackling those areas which are most badly affected.

two routes, C and D, will be left on the shortlist. ‘Rous does not oppose the highway upgrade, and if it’s planned correctly, the quality of water in Emigrant Creek can even improve – but the alignment must be right,’ said Cr Silver. Emigrant Creek Dam supplies water to 30,000 residents in Ballina and Lennox Head, and is within the study area of the Tintenbar to Ewingsdale Highway upgrade.

NORPA is hoping the boys and girls of Byron Bay will be dancing on the footpath on Sunday May 7 to celebrate Dance Week. Dance On The Footpath is a community dance show in Apex Park from 2-4pm on May 2. Around 20 different local groups will be demonstrating jazz, neo classical, hip hop, belly dancing, highland, salsa, African, Tahitian and B Boys styles of dance. ‘The event will be MC’d by the lovely hula girl Suzy Leigh who will be inviting the audience to participate in a big ďŹ nale consisting of an African workshop run by Chese and some hot freestyling,’ said a spokesperson for NORPA.

ďŹ gure is conceived to revolve. They include modern, contemporar y, multimedia pieces, flamenco, classical and performance art,’ said NORPA.

Three performances are scheduled for Friday May 26 and Saturday May 27. Bookings can be made on 6685 5659, or 6680 9085 for school group bookings.

Three way tussle over Yelgun sportsďŹ eld site Owner of the Yelgun land which has been identiďŹ ed by Byron Shire Council as a site for future sportsfields says three separate parties are currently involved in negotiations for the land’s purchase. Landholder Chum Vidgen wouldn’t name the three parties, but said he is ‘trying to get people to clarify their position’. In addition to Council’s interest in acquiring the site for sportsďŹ elds, the Blues Festival organisers have indicated they are investigating land at Yelgun which The Echo believes is the same site. The identity of the third party is unknown. Two Shire councillors who

have been closely involved with the search for sportsďŹ elds for the north of the shire are Cr Tom Tabart and Cr Jan Mangleson. While Cr Tabart says the competition for the Yelgun land might not be a problem, Cr Mangleson has hinted that a cooperative arrangement with one of the other parties might be emerging. Support for the Yelgun site has waned among the Ocean Shores sporting community, according to Cr Tabart. ‘The view now being expressed by some councillors is to build up Mullumbimby and Brunswick as sports complexes. Ocean Shores will have train-

ing sites but players will come together on the big sports complexes at Mullumbimby, Byron Bay and Brunswick Heads. That is the thinking of a number of councillors.’ Cr Jan Mangleson does not share Cr Tabart’s view about the Yelgun site saying she’d be very concerned if Council ‘went down that path’. ‘We’ve been looking for a fairly major area to service at least 10,000 people if you look at the greater Ocean Shores area including the coastal rural north, New Brighton and South Golden Beach. To lose Lot 107 and then to lose any hope of a place to call their own is

definitely a betrayal,’ she said. ‘The ship seems to be sailing off into the sunset on Lot 107, so the other site [at Yelgun] is the only one left in the north of the shire. My understanding is that there could be a possibility of some kind of an opportunity for Council to purchase part of the site. This could provide enough space to satisfy the sporting groups.’ Byron Shire’s general manager Pamela Westing said, ‘Council staff have held discussions with Mr Vidgen’s representatives and exchanged correspondence with him about a possible purchase.’

New DVD released on water birth Alex McAuley Childbirth is one of the most powerful experiences any couple will share, and one which everyone who has been through it should look back on with joy. Unfortunately, that is not always the case as birthing can be a time of extreme pain and fear, especially for the labouring mother. It was the desire to control pain as naturally as possible and to reduce fear that prompted obstetrician Andrew Davidson to get the ball rolling on the construction of a water birthing unit at John Flynn Hospital on the Gold Coast. ‘I am very much in favour of water birth in the safety and security of a hospital setting,’ said Dr Davidson. ‘It has so many advantages for the mother and no disadvantages for the baby. It’s a good

method of pain relief and relaxation for the mother.’ There is a limited number of water birthing units in Australia, so this is an exciting time for the staff at John Flynn. It is also an exciting time for Cheryl Farrington, a local single mother who trained as a classical homeopath in the Northern Rivers before becoming involved in the promotion of the new unit through her skills as a ďŹ lm maker. ‘A friend had a video of her ďŹ rst child being born in the water and she gave the tapes to me to edit and set to music,’ said Cheryl, who is passionate about water birth and has experienced it herself. ‘When she became pregnant for the second time and wanted another water birth under the care of Dr Davidson, he gave her some DVDs to watch in

preparation for the event. She was so horriďŹ ed by them that she showed him the one I had made of her ďŹ rst birth. He must have liked it, because he rang me up and asked if I’d be interested in making a documentary on water birth, and I said yes.’ Despite her limited experience, lack of equipment (she didn’t even have a camera), and being scared stiff, Cheryl took to the project like a duck to water. With her friend and two of Dr Davidson’s other patients as subjects, she set about ďŹ lming, directing and producing the 40 minute ďŹ lm which she set to music by local female performers. ‘The ďŹ lm is to promote the water birthing unit at John Flynn and to help facilitate parents with their birth,’ said Cheryl. ‘It is informative from a medical point of view and

shows men how they can support their partners. It is also very sensuous, covering all aspects of labour. It shows how Andrew gives empowerment back to women and honours the sacred space of the couple with the security and safety of a hospital setting.’ Dr Davidson has been delighted with the response to the video which was launched recently with very positive results. ‘I’ve had lots of very positive and encouraging feedback,’ said Dr Davidson. ‘The midwives at the hospital are very supportive of water birth, and with 44% of women using water at some stage in their labour, it is wonderful to have this facility locally.’ For more information on waterbirth at John Flynn contact Andrew Davidson on adavidson@adavidson.com.au.

Local News Cat Empire busks for cancer care With the Blues Festival buzz still hanging in the air, one of the headlining acts The Cat Empire were seen busking on Jonson Street in Byron Bay on Tuesday night last. Sitting in with the young crew from Melbourne was local musician Dave Addes, who was instrumental in organising the night. ‘Every year we have a jam after the festival but because they were staying in Suffolk Park in a residential area, we couldn’t play music late at night,’ Addes told The Echo. Over $1100 was made and donated to the Palliative Care Community Service, based in St Vincent’s in Lismore. ‘Collectively we decided on that charity because they do a lot of work that goes unnoticed in the community – they provide support for people with a terminal illness who want the option to die at home,’ Addes said. Felix from The Cat Empire enjoys the company of fans. AmpliďŹ cation equipment was generously donated by ‘We had such a great time, and so generous,’ Addes Byron Music for the night. the crowds were fantastic said.

Comment

Pride, prejudice and reporting There has been a reasonable amount of scuttlebutt around town (notably Byron Bay) concerning the fact that our deputy editor Lesley Patterson is a member of the conservation lobby group BEACON. There is a view she should declare an interest when writing on issues involving BEACON (or perhaps the environment and town planning in general) and an insin-

uation that her reporting is biased. Firstly, consider the interest declared; it will not be appended at the end of every report Lesley writes. Secondly, The Echo has complete faith in Lesley reporting fairly on all issues. She quizzes BEACON on the accuracy of its ďŹ gures and seeks alternative viewpoints. If any lobby group feels it is missing out, please feel free to call us.

Were The Echo to require Lesley to resign her membership of BEACON – which it does not – it would make no difference to her interest in environmental conservation. Were there a bias it would still exist. If The Echo errs in favour of the natural environment on occasion, then it is an error we are proud to make. No human activity – commercial, cultural or recreational – can exist happily

without the benefit of a healthy environment. And now for the record, let me declare my interests – I am a member of the Northern Rivers Writers Centre, the Australian Society of Authors, the Pagan Love Cult (www.paganlovecult. com), and a friend of Horatio Bitemark. If I write an article about literary pagan entheogenism, consider me biased. – Michael McDonald, Editor

‘Lifestyle’ clash sidelines Catholic principal Alex McAuley The recent suspension of a well respected school principal over his marital status has left the local community in a state of shock. Paul Cronin, who has been principal of Holy Family Catholic Primary School in Skennars Head since it opened in 1997, has been suspended for the remainder of the year over ‘contractual matters’. A spokesperson for the Catholic Education Office said, ‘The Catholic Education office is currently in negotiation with Mr Cronin in relation to contractual matters and his continuing employment with Catholic education in the Lismore Diocese. ‘The contractual matter at issue is that relating to Catholic lifestyle. Quite simply, the term Catholic lifestyle refers in this instance to Paul Cronin’s marital status in the eyes of the Catholic Church. This means that he is unable to participate in the sacramental life of the Church and fulďŹ l his role as faith leader of the school.’ Mr Cronin’s marital status is straightforward and commonplace: he is divorced and has recently remarried. The problem as far as the Catholic Church is concerned is that marriage is a sacred union rather than a civil one, therefore divorce is not recognised. The only way to dissolve a marriage in

the church is through an annulment. Lismore politician Peter Breen MLC, who worked as a solicitor in Byron Bay prior to his election to NSW parliament, has been outspoken in his defence of Mr Cronin and the unfairness of his suspension. Mr Breen explained that he became involved after a number of parents of students at the school contacted him with their concerns. ‘The parents and a school counsellor contacted me in outrage; they couldn’t believe that he was sacked because he got married,’ said Mr Breen. ‘It’s all very well to talk about annulment, but that is an extremely lengthy and very intrusive process; you have to provide witnesses at a tribunal to testify as to why the marriage should be annulled. Lots of people don’t want to go through that rigmarole.’ Mr Breen has devoted

much of his political career to campaigning for human rights and religious tolerance, and as a Catholic himself, feels he has some clear insight as to why this sort of thing should not be allowed to happen. ‘The church has a somewhat duplicitous approach to these matters: it will enforce the rules to keep up appearances, but if someone breaks the rules and nobody notices, then it turns a blind eye. Mr Cronin has not behaved immorally; there could well be many other disordered relationships within the school community that would raise questions of morality.’ Mr Breen pointed out that only one in ďŹ ve of the students enrolled at Holy Family is Catholic, and that the taxpayers who are providing money for the education of these children would most likely be more concerned with the disruption of losing

such a popular principal than with his marital status. Mr Breen is also concerned that the parish priest, Fr John Kennedy, has exerted undue inuence over the Education OfďŹ ce’s decision based on his fundamentalist beliefs. ‘I have it on good authority that Fr Kennedy is an active member of Opus Dei, a Catholic Institution which has absolute views and will not compromise,’ said Mr Breen. He went on to say that the best course of action for the Catholic Education OfďŹ ce now would be to reinstate Mr Cronin at Holy Family, or at the very least give him a comparable position at another school with the same remuneration.

The mad dash for cash goes on Vol 20 #48

April 25, 2006

Communities under pressure A major report – Australian Community Sector Survey 2006 (available at http://www.acoss.org.au/upload/publications/ papers/561__Paper%20143.pdf) – shows community services operated by non-government organisations (NGOs) are under considerable strain. The survey shows that demand for services increased by eight per cent from 2003-04 to 2004-05, while 38% more people were turned away from receiving services during the same period. Lin HatďŹ eld Dodds, president of the peak body Australian Council of Social Sewrvice (ACOSS) which released the report, said, ‘Sixty-ďŹ ve per cent of service providers reported an increase in the complexity of needs of people in the past year which required more than one type of service. A jobless mother escaping domestic violence, for example, is likely to need emergency housing, counselling, ďŹ nancial and legal help. With budget deďŹ cits and staff shortages community organisations are under strain trying to help people with varied and complex needs. ACOSS Director Andrew Johnson said, ‘Lack of resources meant 132,000 people eligible for services could not get assistance from community services last year. Some services such as housing assistance and legal services really struggle to meet demand. ‘ACOSS urges the government to spend on services in this year’s Budget. This would provide real solutions to people who have difďŹ culty accessing services like child care, housing and legal services.’ ‘Clearly the pressure on NGOs is increasing in NSW,’ said Michelle Burrell of the NSW Council of Social Services (NCOSS). ‘Besides the overall growth in client demand, community sector agencies report that people coming through their doors have more complex needs than before. ‘Users of community services in NSW also face waiting lists with 46% of NGOs reporting that their waiting lists grew or stayed the same in 2004-05. Long term housing, health services (including mental health and drug and alcohol services) and crisis and supported accommodation services were those identiďŹ ed as most needed by clients of the NGOs surveyed for this report.’ Jenny Dowell, president of the Northern Rivers Social Development Council, said in response to the report, ‘The recent increases in the NSW SACS [Social and Community Services] award, petrol prices and insurance premiums are all putting enormous pressures on community service organisations in the Northern Rivers. ‘We have said it time and time again, early intervention will make signiďŹ cant savings for government further down the track. Dealing with issues before they get out of hand will beneďŹ t the whole community and will be cost effective in the long term.’ According to NCOSS the report also conďŹ rms that the vast majority of NGOs are already squeezing more out of existing resources. Seventy-four per cent of agencies agreed that unfunded work by staff and volunteers had increased between 2003-04 and 2004-05. It is obviously time for the federal government to use its budget surplus created in part by increasing tax revenue by eight per cent over the last year to help the community services which really need it. Too often both federal and state governments use the support of volunteers to avoid funding the services governments were originally intended for.

u s t r a l i a ’s m o s t endangered species, the Liberal Moderate, had a reprieve at the weekend with the reendorsement of backbencher Petrou Georgiou for the safe seat of Kooyong. Georgiou is best known for his opposition to mandatory detention of asylum seekers, but Peter Costello insists that the vote had nothing to do with tolerance or compassion. Such namby-pamby, dogooder, bleeding heart notions have no place in the war on whatever it is we’re at war with. Georgiou had better get used to the idea: the old PaciďŹ c Solution is back, and even if he doesn’t like it the Indonesians just might, and John Howard certainly does, end of story. Incidentally a caller suggests that the policy of moving inconvenient captives off shore is another case of Howard following George W Bush, and his infamous practice of rendition – sending prisoners to overseas camps like Guantanamo Bay where they are no longer subject to United States law and can therefore be tortured with impunity. Alas, the PaciďŹ c Solution actually predates September 11 2001; it was all Howard’s own work. Indeed, perhaps it was the inspiration for Bush’s own abuses of international law and human rights. It is to be hoped that when the history of the times is written our Dear Leader gets the credit he deserves.

O

n Friday last week Peter Costello invited us all to celebrate National Debt Free Day, thereby proving that The Treasurer Who Would Be Prime Minister is still as self-obsessed, lazy and irresponsible as ever. It is true that the federal government has now paid off its own foreign debt – or at least, the books more or less balance. But it is also true that the rest of us are up Debt Creek in a barbed wire canoe without a paddle, thanks largely to the ideological obsessions

the HECS scheme in order to survive. John Howard calls this choice; economic rationalists call it user-pays. But only Peter Costello has the smugness to suggest it is a cause for rejoicing.

During the Howard decade, private debt has gone through the roof. Money owed by companies, households and individuals has reached record levels, and the mad dash for cash shows no sign of stopping. And the main reason for this is that in order to pay off its own debt, the government has privatised some services it (or rather the public) used to own and has drastically cut back on others. As a result taxpayers now have to fork out large sums of money for services which used to be free, and in many cases they have had to borrow to do so. For example tertiary students, who used to receive free tuition now have to mortgage their futures under

Can West Byron STP cope with the load? I have read with interest the Byron Shire Council’s Director of Water and Recycling’s response to Cr Tardif ’s requests to have the moratorium on development in Byron Bay lifted now that the newly constructed West Byron Sewerage Treatment Plant (STP) has been completed (April 11). The Director of Water and Recycling Services informed your readers that: • Because of the Christmas load West Byron STP has exceeded its required phosphorus levels. Can the Director of Water and Recycling inform the community whether the phosphorus exceedences were after the secondary

treatment phase or after the tertiary treatment (wetlands) phase? This plant is designed to treat 6.95 megalitres (ml) of sewerage over a 24-hour period. Did the daily flow exceed the 6.95ml into West Byron STP over the Christmas period and if so, how many times? • The treatment plant had to be heavily dosed with chemicals to achieve the acceptable phosphorus levels. Can the Director of Water and Recycling inform the community was this due to the organic load West Byron was receiving over Christmas, or as he states as well, caused by rainfall?

• As the Director of Water and Recycling stated, this is now April and the plant still has not recovered from the Christmas load and substantial rainfall effects. Will the Director of Water and Recycling inform the community is this plant going to display the same problems with not meeting its required phosphorus removal requirements each Christmas and during high tourist numbers in Byron Bay or during periods of high rainfall? The Director of Water and Recycling has stated that the licence requirements for West Byron STP have not yet been finalised with the Department of Land and Water Conservation. The

Get creative

to investigate (and sack) our current council and that satyr Sartor all set to give developers carte blanche, I think that perhaps you are even more naive than me! Charles MacFarland last week (Letters, April 18) ‘mourns the loss of the unusual’. Individuals create `unusual’ things. That’s the basis of culture and it grows from there. That’s why people travel the world and return with unusual artifacts. With globalisation, you can buy whatever you want without travelling at all but you’ll be hard pushed to come home from abroad with a little something usual for the missus or mister and the kids. Charlie mate, I absolutely agree and mourn the loss of the unusual that once was Byron (and beyond).You and me had best start getting creative, eh, and support others who are. That’s if we have enough time left over after explaining why we ‘voted for this council’, and fighting Harvey, Becton and the state government who have no concept of creatively building wealth. ‘Little boxes on the hill side, little boxes made of ticky tacky, Little boxes, little boxes, little boxes all the same.’ – Malvina Reynolds.

I was naively perplexed as to why the great Financial Review would publish a news item about an incident between a Byron Shire Councillor and contractors for Becton outside Byron’s Woolworths a couple of weeks ago. Why would their national, business elite readership give a rat’s buttocks? Mmmmm? The Fin article was aimed at the developers and their shareholders who have billions of dollars biting at the bit to be unleashed on the development of this last, relatively unspoiled bit of Australia’s east coast. Which answers Anthony McNeil’s question (Letters, April 11) `Who the hell voted for this council and what were they thinking?’. Anthony, the reason we voted in four Greens councillors is that they are the only thing stopping Byron Shire from becoming another SurfRebecca Grenfell ers Paradise (freaky, hey, Mullumbimby when we call home `paradise’, too).

friends have beaten a hasty retreat. One wonders, is it really necessary to blow people’s heads off? Surely a system that good would sound even better not so loud. No offence to the sound technician but have you had a hearing check lately? If not, now would be a good time to have one. Finally, unless you only wish to cater to a limited market – deaf and prospective deaf people – I suggest you ask people if the volume is a tad over the top. Murray Bickley

Another view over Lot 107 In typical Echo style last week, you allowed two pages of misleading information to be given to the public regarding Lot 107, North Ocean Shores. Let’s start unraveling the truth with CONOS’s map. We’re talking about over 1300 hectares of preserved land, with pockets of threatened species across the North of the Shire, none of which are on or even close to Lot 107. The indoor basketball court (not stadium) belongs to and is within Ocean Shores Public School, which is only 1100 metres from Lot 107 (which was intentionally drawn in the wrong place). Basketball is one of our fastest growing sports locally, and we need more facilities to cater to the growth.The half tennis court/ half basketball court was provided to Fern Beach residents by the developer, but unfortunately is not even adequate to train on. Swimming and surfing is at the beach. Your ‘sportsfield’ at New Brighton is a junior soccer field, no room

for senior soccer here or at Brunswick Heads (and no DAs needed here to play soccer either). Walking or jogging is at the beach again. The 18 hole golf course, bowling greens and swimming pool are provided for and privately maintained for Members of Ocean Shores Country Club. We have two tennis courts that the community fought hard for in Waterlily Park, a recreational park, not a sportsfield. We desperately need integrated facilities for netball, hockey, athletics, football, AFL, cricket, and more soccer and basketball areas, as well as room for sports carnivals for our school and space for kids to just kick a ball! Brunswick Heads sportsfields complex (an integrated sportsfield) is not where your arrow points, it’s at the other end of Brunswick Heads and barely adequate for the needs of Brunswick Heads residents and sporting community (not to mention it’s outside the greater Ocean Shores catchment area). I’m sure

with time though, the six Greens on Council will overrule any local government legislation to address this obstacle. CONOS conveniently leaves out any reference to the 5,000 local signatures on a petition supporting sportsfields on Lot 107, a survey in The Echo which found 97% of the greater Ocean Shores community suppor ted sportsfields on Lot 107, not more nature reserves. You choose to ignore independent ecology reports against your views by well known environmentalists.You ignore letters from NPWS in 1996 and government ministers which state clearly that Lot 107 has ‘no environmental significance’, and you refuse to acknowledge all the submissions from OSCA, Brunswick Valley Sports Association, local environmental groups and residents, who all supported sportsfields on Lot 107. Yet you want the community to believe that two government interim protection orders, Council’s 1993 plan of management for open

space, numerous consultant reports on investigating suitable sites, NPWS studies, commissioner’s reports, Council’s plan and later amended plan of management for sportsfields on Lot 107, 2 secret meetings encouraging RTA to take our sportsfield land for compensatory habitat at Brunswick Heads, and an LES could not alter Council changing the zoning of Lot 107 from investigation (1d) to 6(a) open space for active and passive recreation area, not nature reserve. That is precisely why we need a public inquiry to surface the truth and determine why the past two councils have consistently robbed our sporting community and our kids of desperately needed sportsfields. All the history, original documents and the facts about this case are on our website www.brunswickvalley.com.au/sportsfields for the world to see and judge for themselves.

Highs and lows In last week’s edition of The Echo on page 17 there was a great article about much admired Bruns resident Craig Rosenkranz who is going great guns at Toastmasters. Craig just happens to be a quadriplegic and his article was headed, ‘Craig reaches new heights’. However sadly on page 10 there was a letter which should have been headed, ‘Michele reaches all time low’. Yes, folks, Michele Grant has done it again, this time telling us that the proposed new coastal cycleway through Brunswick Heads will cause us healthy upwardly mobile citizens great discomfort because we will have to dodge and weave our way around, of all things, motorised wheelchairs. What a totally distasteful comment to make about any persons with a disability who choose to use a public parkland for their own enjoyment. Yet again from Ms Grant a classic case of NIMBY syndrome – not in my backyard. John England

Latex lechery

A few weeks ago I took a friend to have a look at the lake at Tyagarah and he was a bit turned off to find a used condom hanging in a tree by the path. Yesterday I was taken to the large lake for the first time. It’s a beautiful place with old banksias and grass trees. Unfortunately there were also too many condom wrappers, and worse, used condoms lying around. I ask these men to clean up after themselves and dispose of their unwanted refuse responsibly. More disturbing are the Tina Petroff ongoing experiences of Ocean Shores women being approached by Community Association men arousing themselves

and men being solicited for sex by other men. I support people to enjoy their sexuality in ways that are respectful to others. However many of us go to these lakes to enjoy the opportunity to be naked in nature, not for sex. If that’s your purpose, fine, but please don’t impose your desires on those of us who just want to swim. Some years ago these were wonderful places to go for everyone, but since I returned to the Shire after five years away I refuse to go there on my own. I just don’t feel safe and it’s such a shame.

Fluoride concerns Two recently published, peer reviewed studies, raise serious concerns about the safety of adding fluoride to drinking water, and should put an end to the proposal to fluoridate our water supply – anything less would be an act of negligence by the determining authority. Bassin et al, Cancer Cause and Control (2006) 17:421428, ‘Age-Specific fluoride exposure in drinking water and osteosarcoma’ found an association between exposure to fluoride in drinking water and the incidence of osteosarcoma (malignant tumours of the bone) in boys, with a peak in the odds ratio for exposure at ages 6-8 years when they are experiencing rapid growth. The National Academies of Science, Board on Environmental Studies and Toxicology, ‘Fluoride in Drinking Water: A Scientific Review of EPA’s Standards’ (2006) found associations between low levels of fluoride exposure from drinking water with increases in tooth enamel fluorosis, skeletal fluorosis bone fractures, joint

Shire. I don’t want to lose our lovely water and be connected to Rous, the cost of which has apparently exceeded previous expectations. The (cheaper?) alternative is to build a turkey nest dam in a local paddock, to be ďŹ lled in times of plenty, and need ood no valley. Furthermore, the Byron Echo has mentioned Rous Water price rises, and the Lismore Echo some months ago expressed concerns about the potential instability of Rocky Creek Dam wall. I’d like to know the full facts direct from the horses’ mouths and request a public meeting to discuss the future of Mullum’s sweet, independent water supply.

Mullumbimby water is Deborah Lilly sweeter! Our supply, from Mullumbimby the local catchment, tastes (to me) far more palatable Police protection than the comparatively In Nimbin, we have had ten chemical laden water from policemen arrive at 7am to Rous Water in the rest of the patrol the street until 5pm

since the week before Easter. The police are in blue overalls, caps, boots and big accessory belts. They are in riot uniform, it appears. The village people are bemused mostly. This usually happens in Nimbin just before the MardiGrass (without the riot gear) if something real isn’t happening elsewhere. They usually go away after a while and everything returns to normal (nearly). What upsets me is that they don’t intervene to protect people in abusive loud public arguments held right near the child care centre, though you can hear it all over town. It’s offensive. My workmate was robbed and his place trashed over Easter. He hasn’t heard back from the police yet (Tuesday). His wife is afraid to stay at home alone. Back in the village, a bit of pot changing hands may be illegal but it’s not crime

tisements on TV and in papers like The Echo, lauding its efforts to crack down on dole bludgers and threatening Centerlink customers with heavy penalties if they cheat the system. Too bad this crusade against corruption only targets the poor and defenceless, they may have spared themselves some embarrassment if their search for cheats and fraudsters had reached the executive ofďŹ ces at the big end of town, where fat cats were secreting kickbacks to Saddam Hussein. But it’s hardly surprising. Howard’s way has always been to patronise the privileged and demonise the disadvantaged. He never misses an opportunity to reap political reward at the expense of a minority. Over the years, his government has viliďŹ ed and abused unions, the ABC, state schools, students, academics, gays, greens, abo-

in my book. It’s the law against it that’s really the crime and Nimbin will be saying so loudly at MardiGrass. Anyway there was a lot of pot changing hands over Easter because the police weren’t here then and the Blues and Roots Festival’s just over the hill. Crime doesn’t take a holiday. If I were running the police force, I’d be putting police in riot gear around hotels at closing time, for just a few hours. That’s when serious stuff happens and people get hurt and need police protection, from others or from themselves. More effective and much cheaper for Aussie taxpayers. It could even save lives. Inez Price

Nimbin

Pro the big end The Howard government has spent a lot of money running ‘welfare fraud’ adver-

rigines, refugees, the antiwar lobby... the list goes on and on. But Howard never takes a swipe at the big end of town, he never stands up to the fat cats. Perhaps he really believes they’re all above reproach, honest, decent men like himself. Or maybe he’s looking forward to multimillion dollar commissions and all the perks that come with membership to the exclusive club of high ying corporate executives. Whatever the reasons, Howard has obviously betrayed his 1996 pledge to govern ‘for all Australians’ by pursuing a political strategy that requires hostility towards minorities, a pattern of behaviour that seems rampant in politics these days. The only minority that aren’t targeted are the rich and powerful. In fact, the corporate class seem to be continued overleaf

Dredging up sand and the Bay’s NYE Q I read with interest the article ‘“Classic Disneyland� Sand Dredging Plan Blown Away’ (Echo, April 18). I was on the Coastline Management Committee for five years and remember the laughs we had about ‘planned retreat’. What a joke! How in the middle of a storm could workmen and cranes etc load ‘demountables’ onto a truck and then somehow manouevre through the chaos along the only exit road that could itself be under threat?

Q I refer to your front page story on sand dredging, and to your editorial, and wish to point out that once again it seems that Council is acting as if north of the Brunswick river is not part of the Shire. Or have they ďŹ nally recognised that New Brighton and Belongil are two different parts of the coast and so need two different approaches. That would explain why the New Brighton Progress Association was not advised of, or invited to address, last week’s council meeting on the coastline and its management.

– but they’ve also decided henceforth not to lavish ratepayers’ money on New Years Eve in Byron Bay. Council spent over $106,000 on the 2005/06 NYE six-hour ‘event’. That’s a rate of spending Kerry Packer used to indulge in on the roulette wheels of Monaco. That $106,000 could have gone into permanent infrastructure improvements for the whole community. From here on I hope it will. Well done, Councillors. As for NYE in BB, I urge Council to follow the Bangalow Christmas Eve model, run and fully funded by the local community. Let those who want an ‘event’ pay for it. Adrian Gattenhof

Mullumbimby Q Back in September 2005 I posed the obvious question – what is so special, important and unique about New Years Eve in Byron Bay that it justified Council allocating from our own selďŹ sh folly of man-made global warming. Now is the time for us all to reject old traditional political thinking and face up to our responsibilities of reducing greenhouse gas emissions (particularly carbon dioxide) into our sensitive atmosphere. If not, the survival of our future generations is in grave danger. I Cooper

$140,000 of scarce public funds, particularly when signiďŹ cant cultural, sporting and community events elsewhere in the Shire receive nothing? Well it’s taken seven months (and the wastage of $106,000) for six councillors to stand up and expose the rort for what it is. Congratulations to Crs Westheimer, Tucker, Kestle, Tardif, Woods and Mangleson for stomping on the proposal by the Greens to raid Byron Bay’s infrastructure reserves of a further $100,000 to pay for their 2006-07 extravaganza. Those who want to ‘reclaim the town’ (one of the more ridiculous statements I have ever heard) will now have to do what the rest of us involved in various events throughout the Shire have to do – fundraising, sponsorship, volunteers, etc. In other words, old-fashioned hard slog. Should be a novel experience for some. Michael Malloy

Bangalow and there continues to be, great and pure individuals, men and women who strive and toil not for themselves but for the beneďŹ t of all, it is they who maintain hope and pursue solution, it is they who inspire noble thoughts and deeds in us. The source of their endurance, direction and purpose comes from deep within their hearts. It is there within our hearts united we will conquer that which plagues us, as human beings, together. Everything you desire for humanity, dear Hannah, then becomes possible not in division but unity. Unity of the heart. I feel what you feel, I want what you want, and I believe the ďŹ rst step in creating and realising our dream for all is about taking responsibility rather than indulge ourselves in making such emotive, irresponsible and ignorant generalisations, in an attempt to duck for cover.

War is not about men or women and it is not caused by men or women but it is caused and about us, man and woman.

Old friends support MS trek A nostalgic last hurrah? Alex McAuley For some people, the spirit of adventure never dies; it just takes a back seat when life gets in the way and resurfaces at a later date. Marie McDonald and Fran Slattery, both local nurses, are two people who fall into this category, and 20 years after their first adventure together, they are taking off again. ‘Fran and I went travelling round Australia together about 20 years ago, and then went cycling in Indonesia,’ said Marie. ‘After that, we both became busy with families, but over the years I participated in the Sydney to Wollongong bike ride to raise money for multiple sclerosis (MS). It was through one of the MS Society’s newsletters that I heard about the MS Challenge and we decided to take part.’ The MS Challenge is a new fundraising program run by the MS Society in partnership with Intrepid Travel and involves an eleven day trek in Ladakh, northern India. Participants must make a personal contribution of $550 and then raise a minimum of $5,500 to help support people living with MS. ‘Fran and I have both nursed people with MS, so we really know how debilitating this disease can be,’ said Marie. ‘We see this as an opportunity to have a trip while raising money for a good cause. It’s really exciting to be embarking on this adventure; it’s just like it was 20 years ago.’ In order to raise money, Marie and Fran have been running raffles and sausage sizzles etc, but now have been given an outstanding opportunity by Fishheads at Byron Bay to put on a dinner

Intrepid trekkers Marie McDonald and Fran Slattery.

from which they will be able to raise $20 per head. ‘Fishheads have offered us the dinner at cost, so we can charge $55 per person of which $20 will go to MS,’ explained Marie. ‘All the bottle shops in Byron Bay and Suffolk Park have donated wine and we’ve engaged Luke Vassella, a local singer/songwriter, to perform. There will be a speaker from the MS Society there as well to give a short talk.’ The fundraising doesn’t stop there, however. The girls have organised a bus trip to Brisbane, for women only, to see Menopause The Musical, with drinks and nibblies on the way home, and a Bhutanese film nigh following a recent visit to Bhutan by Marie and a group of her friends. Marie explained that MS is a chronic, potentially

ate

debilitating disease that affects the central nervous system. It affects more than one million people around the world with most people experiencing their first symptoms between ages 20 and 40. Because the nature of the disease requires many sufferers to be placed in nursing homes, often young people with MS are inappropriately placed in aged care facilities as there is nothing else available. Marie hopes that the money they raise will go towards the development of specific care facilities for people with MS. Anyone interested in attending the Fishheads dinner needs to ring Marie on 6680 7517 or 0434 552 283 by May 1. Anyone interested in taking part in the bus trip should ring Fran on 6629 1556. If you’re interested in the Bhutanese film night, please phone Marie.

John Campbell One morning I started watching the foreign news bulletins on SBS. The Commonwealth Games were happening and the hometown media were on the verge of frothing hysteria, their lust for gold cranked up by triumphs in a second-class sports carnival. Enough was enough. I tuned in to the Greeks and Arabs and Russians. No word of the Games. It’s easy enough to get the gist of what they’re on about but, like onto an electronic tabula rasa, you can project your own story. I especially like the Italian half-hour, with its dolce vita sex-kitten anchoring the show. Even better, all of them are Howard-free zones, though in the case of the Italians you get the impression that Silvio Berlusconi is similarly vomit making. And on this sanctified date, April 25, they are also blissfully ignorant of Anzac Day. ‘That’s like, so unAustralian to say that.’ Cat Carer’s disgusted, but her term of vilification is not nearly so hurtful as it once might have been – quite the opposite, unfortunately. In the narcotic sequence of endless public circuses, from footy finals and the Melbourne Cup, to Chrissy and Australia Day, the Grand Prix then Easter, Anzac Day takes its allotted place. ‘But it’s like, a really major event!’ ‘Exactly.’ It’s the politicisation and orchestrated emotion that is most galling. I haven’t got anything against Anzac Day as such, but there’s only so much you can take of Ray Martin’s sincerity and Anne

Sanders’s maiden-aunt solemnity, and the way that the mob is indoctrinated to celebrate the futility and waste of war and to swell with pride over our nation’s tragic eagerness to doff its cap to first Whitehall and now the White House. ‘You’re just jealous because you haven’t got any medals.’ Cat Carer’s a perspicacious little viper, but she’s not always right. My grandfather fought in the trenches with the AIF, was wounded, transported to a military hospital in England and then sent back to the lines to be shot to bits in France. He’s buried there. His letters home are heartbreaking. My Dad fought the good fight in Borneo and New Guinea. An uncle in Korea and a cousin in Vietnam maintained the family’s lauded tradition of being cannon fodder for royalty, politicians, and bankers. I honour their memory. ‘Then what are you whingeing about?’

"

It’s the stuff that’s not said. The temper of the times. The overt moulding of the new nationalism. But the trouble with wrapping yourself in the Australian flag, like Pauline and the patriots at Cronulla, is that the Union Jack always seems to sit at the top, meaning that on this day there are more of them flying in our blue southern skies than there are in the length and breadth of Great Britain. It doesn’t sit well with me and seems contrary to the spirit of ratbag jingoism that presently grips the land. ‘But it’s about who we are. Our identity.’ Cat Carer’s been told this so many times that she repeats it like a mantra. Maybe. Or maybe Anzac Day has inadvertently become the last nostalgic hurrah of White Australia. You don’t see any grainy footage, repeated again and again on TV specials, of wogs, slopes, Lebs or even blackfellas in slouch hats. It’s a weird harking back to a society most of us wouldn’t fancy living in. For a start, they didn’t have pokies. If you shine a bright enough light on anything, like we do on April 25, you can’t see it properly for the glare. Digger, digger, digger! Oi Oi Oi!

in its estuaries. The Brunswick River and its tributaries are always open to the ocean, so water level rises within the estuary will directly correspond to sea-level rises. For the Brunswick estuary accounting for global warming is relatively easy. While detailed modeling is required to account for the full ramiďŹ cations of global warming (ie increased rainfall and storm intensities magnifying ood events), simplistically what is required is forward planning, at least until the end of the century. Planning that accounts for global warming by adding around a metre (vertically) to estuary levels and a metre to ood levels and planning for the consequences of this. A 50100m horizontal riparian buffer needs to be applied to

the one metre vertical buffer. Byron Shire’s recently exhibited Draft Local Environmental Plan for the Byron Bay area is actively promoting development within what would have naturally been the Belongil’s estuarine system, and within areas that that will become so thanks to global warming. Any decision to now allow increased levels of development of areas vulnerable to erosion or ooding due to climate change is likely to be irreversible in the future without massive compensation – particularly from the Council or government that ignored the evidence and allowed it to proceed. It is of course the community that will pay for the future consequences of the

folly of ignoring global warming’s impacts on our estuaries. It is the community that will be expected to pay for future remediation, protection and compensation. It is the community that will be effected as friends or families lose their assets, are dislocated or suffer distress and hardship. It is the community that will be expected to volunteer their time to rescue people and repair damage. Unless we leave room for them, our mangroves, saltmarshes and wetlands will be squeezed between the rising waters and coastal development. Their loss will have major consequences for many species and profoundly affect the productivity of our marine ecosystems and ďŹ sheries. Byron Shire already has too many people and too much property exposed to the consequences of coastal erosion and ooding as global warming proceeds. Byron Shire cannot afford environmentally, socially, or economically to continue to ignore the consequences of global warming for our estuaries.

Dailan Pugh After a six thousand year standstill, sea-levels are on the rise again due to the thermal expansion of the seas as they warm and the melting of the world’s terrestrial ice-masses. The melting of the Greenland ice-mass, when complete, will by itself raise sealevels worldwide by seven metres. Hopefully we have time to change our ways before the melting of the Antarctic ice-mass, and a raising of sea-levels by a further 63 metres, becomes inevitable. The International Panel on Climate Change’s 2001 estimate was that globally sea-levels could be expected to rise by between 9-88cm by the end of this century. Recent trends indicate that the rise is more likely to be 80-100cm or higher. For Byron Shire, depending on the slope of the seabed, sandy coastlines will retreat 85-135 metres for every one metre rise in sea level. Byron Shire has yet to account for the changes that global warming will initiate

Claire Lovejoy Lopes dos Santos People keep asking me what I miss most about Brazil. Is it Carnaval? Actually, being in a public place with so many people you can barely breathe and having every single male within groping distance, well, being groped while somewhere off in the distance some drums are playing is not my idea of a good time. Carnaval is much more fun for men, I have discovered. Do I miss the beaches? Well, Rio is a gorgeous city but trying to swim at Copacobana or Ipanema while ďŹ ghting for space with people and items of litter just doesn’t compare with being run over by a learner surfer at The Pass. Of course I miss Brazil, some aspects more than others. I have been experiencing a strange nostalgia for guns lately. After living in a favela (slum) for about a year I became very accustomed to seeing small boys carrying large rifles. I became an expert at telling whether they were shooting with their handguns or the ries (hand guns have a much higher pitched popping sound compared to the large cracking sound of a rie). In the favela, the dealers hung out right in front of my house. It was a ‘mouth’ (boca) in the favela. So when they were bored, they’d just

shoot. I started to really wish for their business to pick up so I could get some sleep. ‘Please, buy more cocaine, people’. It wasn’t a very big favela, and they were oversupplying. The police made regular raids though. Then the shooting would go crazy. The ďŹ rst time it happened when I was living there, even though I was inside the house (crap thin bricks) I slid on all fours to the safest spot inside the house, in front of the toilet (crap thin bricks), to wait it out. After the police had been chased off I heard that one of the dealers had been shot, just around the corner. People were going to look at the body, did I want to come? Ummm, no thanks. People often get shot by stray bullets in favelas. Someone told me after that ďŹ rst shootout that there were people who had been in the street when it started and didn’t run away, simply stood around and watched. One of them got shot in the face. Well, der! I will always associate my time in Brazil with guns. The very ďŹ rst week I was in Rio I had a big fuck-off police rie pointed at my head by a cop. They were pulling over our car because they thought the black guy in the back might be highjacking it. Love the Brazilian police mentality: ‘that guy might have a gun pointed at those people, why don’t pull them over and

scream and point guns at them, he’ll never shoot them out of fear or confusion.’ Watch the ďŹ lm Omnibus 174 if you want to see the brilliance of Brazilian policing. My second gun experience was also with a cop. An insane off-duty woman who deludedly thought we were being attacked at a bus stop and pulled her gun on this guy who was not threatening us, had been talking to us on the ferry before and was dressed in a suit, complete with fancy briefcase. Not that it couldn’t have been a ruse, dress up as a business man to try and rob women, but he’d had all the time in the world before she went ballistic. She dragged us on to the next bus screaming that we had to be careful it was very dangerous, lots of crazy people in Brazil. We stared at her wide eyed and nodded. We actually had to do a little fancy escape manoeuvre – we waited until she wasn’t looking and dived out of the bus when it was slowing to take a corner. Thank god she didn’t follow us. I can’t imagine what kind of mental problems she had but I reckon if they do any kind of psychological evaluation before they give guns to cops she would have brought up some ashing red lights. But in Brazil they made her a cop anyway. Being back in sleepy little Mullumbimby I haven’t had the same heightened sense of

tension as I did while in the favela, although when a car backďŹ res in the street I still drop to the ground, it’s a hard habit to break. I’ve been trying to think what I can do to reignite that spark of excitement in sleepy little Mullumbimby. I might get Nei to randomly drive past when I’m not expecting it and play some Brazilian gangster rap at full volume, complete with guns firing and people yelling obscenities, it’ll take me right back to the good old days. It wasn’t just in the favela that you had to be careful of crazy people waving guns. I used to teach in the business centre of Rio. Outside the headquarters of the biggest bank one day some guards were transporting money in an armoured car. One of the guards was standing in the street being a lookout, I was walking past and he dropped his rifle. The barrel was pointing right at me. I don’t know whether to thank the safety or the fact that it was probably just really badly made and only ďŹ res unpredictably. I had a mental ash of my feet being blown off. Police drive around Rio with their ries on their laps, sticking out the window. This is at perfect head height. They don’t slow down for speed bumps either. So I am not kidding when I say I spent three years with a gun being pointed at my head on a daily basis.

Pass needed to get into writersfest Ticket sales for the Byron Bay Writers Festival 2006 are up and running and already outstripping last year’s numbers. Festival dates are August 3 to 6 and if you have not taken advantage of the Early Bird special for the 3 Day Pass, it’s time to make a move. You must purchase a 3 Day or 1 Day Pass in order to gain admittance to the Festival site this year. Single session tickets will be available for the expanded range of off site events, but if you want to mingle with the writers at the Byron Bay Beach Resort, get online now. Why the change? Organisers say that in order to comply with council requirements, and to ensure the greater comfort and ease of visitors, the Byron Bay Writers Festival has been relocated within the resort grounds. Regular participants will have witnessed the Festival’s growth, in size and scope, since its inception in 1997, and to avoid bursting at the venue’s seams, a new layout has been designed. And because access to the site will be restricted to those holding the 3 Day or 1 Day Pass, long queues for author events and congestion in common areas will be alleviated. Expanded marquee accommodation will also be provided, giving pass holders a greater chance of participating in their preferred sessions. Headlining the writers list

is Janette Turner Hospital, who will also be delivering the Festival opening lecture. Fiction writers featured include James Bradley, Venero Armanno, Monica McInerney and Adib Khan. Returning to the Festival are Nick Earls, Peter Corris, Peter Goldsworthy and Frank Moorhouse, who will also be the focus of this year’s literary lunch at Fins. William McInnes, whose

memoir was a hit last year, returns in 2006 with his ďŹ rst novel and look out for the launch of Northern Rivers’ writer Stephen Smith, whose debut novel Stranger is being heralded by Random House as the ďŹ nd of the year. NonďŹ ction is splendidly served by Christopher Kremmer, the ever popular Gideon Haigh, Henry Reynolds, Cassandra Pybus and Patrice Newell, among a panorama of writers

whose concerns range from art to environment to sport to journalism to history. The series of book launches, featuring books of local and national signiďŹ cance, is given extra prominence this year with the launch of Making Waves, an anthology to be published by University of Queensland Press, showcasing ten years of the Byron Bay Writers Festival and many of the writers who have contributed to its evolution. And there’s more good news. If you cannot commit to the entire program, but are still keen to engage with the Festival, a diverse range of single session events will be held in the Byron Community and Cultural Centre, for which individual tickets may be bought. Many of the most compelling sessions and writers from the Festival site will be showcased at the Centre, providing a substantial and satisfying taste of the Festival. These tasty treats will be unveiled in June, at the same time as the release of the Festival program. There will even be satellite literary lunches, providing a sports focus with Gideon Haigh, a spicy Indonesian avour with Janet de Neefe and visiting Indonesian writers, and Di Morrissey presiding at Dish. Three Day Passes are available from www.byronbaywritersfestival.com at $145 ($125 for NRWC members) or call Jetset Byron Bay on 6685 6262.

Television Guide 1. The local dance party crowd (and others) should enjoy 24 Hour Party People (SBS, Wednesday, 10pm), which chronicles the Manchester music scene from the 70s to the 90s. 2. A distinguished cast including Gwyneth Paltrow fails to rescue flight attendant flick View From The Top (Prime, Friday, 8.45pm) from mediocrity. 3. Keisha Castle-Hughes and Rawirri Paratene star in Whale Rider (Prime, Sunday, 8.30pm), an excellent NZ film about a young Maori girl overcoming tradition to claim her rightful place in the tribe. TEN is to be congratulated for running the series Thank God You’re Here (Wednesdays, 7.30pm), an hilarious venture into the world of theatre impro involving some of Australia’s best comedians.

Wu Tao or ‘The Dancing Way’, is dance based therapy that balances and harmonises the ow of Qi (life-force energy in the body). Comprising ďŹ ve choreographed dances that journey through the Chinese elements, it has its foundations in Oriental Medicine and is a system of healing that restores balance to the person on all levels. This is achieved by activat-

ing and stretching the channels (called meridians), which are the pathways through which the Qi energy ows. The end result is an experience of beauty, harmony and balance, physically, energetically and mentally, during and after performing the dances. Willow was delighted with

the success of her ďŹ rst free class, describing the experience as ‘a wonderful way to share time; and what a wonderful place to do so. We met with open hearts and the longing to dance barefoot, the earth beneath our feet and the sun’s rays pouring down through our bodies. Awesome!’

Courses and ongoing classes are being held regularly at Coorabell Hall, Dunoon and Lismore and will soon be offered in Mullumbimby and Byron Bay. Willow would love to hear from anyone interested in taking part in this unique experience; please phone her on 0427 566 583.

Leah lobbies for gamma knife for Australia

Alex McAuley Leah Chapman was just 36 years old when she was diagnosed with breast cancer four years ago. A masectomy removed the primary cancer, however secondaries had already grown in her lymph system, liver, bone and brain. Whole head radiation was performed to reduce the four tumours in her brain, but unfortunately they not only grew back, but increased in number from four to eight. ‘Whole head radiation can only be performed once,’ explained Leah’s partner Ashley Mackinnon, ‘so we really needed to look for other options. We heard about Gamma Knife, a noninvasive procedure used to treat brain cancer, but it is not available in Australia, so Leah travelled to the USA for treatment.’ Gamma Knife, also known as stereotactic radiosurgery, uses an instrument that emits finely focused beams of gamma radiation that intersect at the location of the tumour. Because the beams are administered so precisely, there is minimal effect on the surrounding normal tissue. ‘The patient has an MRI scan (magnetic resonance imaging) to precisely map the shape of the tumour,’ explained Ashley. ‘The computer then sends the radiation beam to the exact location that it is required. The best thing is that it is day surgery and there are very few side effects. When Leah had whole head radiation, she was very sick for weeks afterwards; with Gamma Knife she was on her feet again almost straight away.’ Unfortunately for Leah, one of the tumours was too large for Gamma Knife to be used on its own, so she required surgery to remove most of the tumour and Gamma Knife cleaned up most of what was left. However, due to its location so close to her eye, not

all the tumour could be removed and it grew back. Once again, Leah and Ashley needed to search for options. ‘Technology is moving so quickly that the Gamma Knife principle has been improved and a new gadget called a Cyber Knife has been developed,’ said Ashley. ‘The Cyber Knife can be used on cancers in the lung, breast, brain, liver, bone, prostate and pancreas, and because it is robotic, it has sub millimetre accuracy allowing it to work on tumours in difďŹ cult to get at places. Obviously, this is something that will give Leah a chance, but again it’s not available in Australia, so she’ll have to go back to the US.’ The cost for overseas patients accessing this sort of treatment is high – $50,000 in Leah’s case – and with two young children, this was a price tag that Leah and Ashley couldn’t afford. However, luck was on their side, and after accessing a Cyber Knife websiste, a doctor in Oklahoma has offered to perform Leah’s procedure free of charge if she is willing to be used in advertising material for the procedure. Leah will travel to the US again shortly in order to take advantage of this opportunity that gives her a really good chance to overcome her cancer. ‘We’ve been incredibly fortunate,’ said Ashley, ‘but not everyone will have our luck. I don’t understand why these treatments aren’t available in Australia – the technology has been around for forty years; India has Gamma Knife and it’s supposed to be a developing country. We are at the cutting edge of so many medical treatments, I don’t understand why we are so far behind in this one.’ Unfortunately, The Echo’s attempts to contact the Department of Health and Ageing for comment were unsuccessful.

Lior with strings attached by DJ Killjoy

LIOR RANG me while en route to his gig in Wollongong. He seemed very nice. I started with the banal niceties that anyone under 18 who logs onto myspace. com would love to read, then tackled Jung, Marxism, and bovine white middle Australia. Reading: Three books simultaneously Watching: My little boy Gem grow up Wearing: Standard fare: jeans and t-shirt Listening: Josh Pyke and Matt Tonks, both Sydney songwriters. Why play music and not sport? You seem to be in the minority. I love it. I picked up classical guitar at 11, and have always enjoyed songwriters. Led Zeppelin was big for me and then James Taylor, Nick Drake and Joni Mitchell.

Do you read? Not enough. Being on the road is hard to get the time, and most of my spare time is taken up with songwriting and my son. NB At this point I begin to chastise Lior; Art is not created in a vacuum and absorbing other artistic expressions is essential for self development. He agrees. What can we expect from the Lior Experience? Believe it or not, we will be have a string section for the Bangalow gig. I’ve always loved strings and have been lucky to have them on my albums. It’s a bit of a one off, we couldn’t get them for other shows, so this will be quite special. It is unusual for bands to be doing this, and it is a risk. What? Are you crazy? That’s way too sophisticated for the general

shmublic. Moving along, being of Jewish descent, do you feel pressured into taking a political stance over your heritage? No. I am very lucky. I understand the Jewish/Palestine situation but not enough to comment publicly on it. I don’t like it when artists use a platform to espouse views that haven’t been thought through.

ing society a moral compass. Politics has failed us. He more than anyone has this opportunity as his music and lyrics have depth. Most Australian bands sing about beaches, beer and titties – they are simple hedonistic good-time goof-offs that appeal to mindless alcohol comsumption. He is not sure he agrees but I continue to rant at him further

‘...most of my spare time is taken up with song writing and my son.’ They usually say something, say for example, against the Iraq war, but it stops there. They really should do more and back up what they say with action. NB At this point I begin to again chastise Lior; Artists are missing the opportunity by not provid-

until I sense a feeling of unease. Is nostalgia the enemy of art? (laughs) So when do you want my thesis by? NO! awww... done in moderation perhaps.... You seem like a nice guy. You sing very well and have obvi-

ously spent your time wisely on the planet, thanks and hope the show goes well. No worries. OfďŹ cial press release: Lior, considered by many to be one of Australia’s best independent singer/songwriters, plays a rootsy mix of styles that always harks back to the lyric and melody. With Israeli heritage, he keeps the music of his bloodline close to the surface and it is his voice that has drawn the most attention. Capable of both power and tenderness, he always delivers with soul in its truest sense. He has crafted a live show that has him regularly touted as one of Australia’s ďŹ nest new talents. Hear him Sunday May 7, A&I Hall Bangalow with support from IOTA. Tickets $20 pre-sold /$25 at the door if available Phone 6684 7921 or email kupromo@bigpond. net.au for more details.

I HAVE an irrational fear of spiders. I once leapt from a moving vehicle when a big hairy huntsman ran across the windscreen. I can’t explain why I get this sudden catatonic onset, I don’t ever remember any spider related traumas. A spider has never touched me in an ‘inappropriate’ way. I don’t ever remember a furry little leg moving it’s way up under my skirt. (Well, I do actually, but that’s for another article). A spider has never lurked in a dark street and exposed itself or tried to pull my children into a strange vehicle. I have never come home and found a spider wearing my underwear. A spider has never fucked my husband. A spider has never threatened to take my plane hostage or detonate a nuclear explosion. A spider didn’t sell wheat to a tyrant and then get candida-related amnesia. The spider is innocent. There is no reason to fear their fleshy little abdomens, their sweet segments, or their long

slender leggies. These little fella’s are the original owner builders – able to erect a home in a manner of hours, whether under the influence of coffee, marijuana or LSD. Spiders are resilient, rather beautiful and exotic. I hate them. They scare me. I once read that Freud claimed the spider was a signifier of the ‘vagina’, and therefore to fear the spider is to fear the female. Great. Now I not only have a fear of spiders, I’m also scared of vaginas. That makes undressing a completely freaky experience. I’m half way through slipping off my frock and next thing I know I’m on a chair screaming. ‘Get that thing out of here’ ‘For god’s sake, get a broom’, ‘can you catch it, put a glass on it’ , ‘quick get the Baygon’ ‘stick it in a jar’ and my favourite ‘Stamp on it with a shoe!’ Just the other day I was driving and a vagina ran across the windshield. Apparently it had fallen out of the mango tree. This morning I found one in my

LIVEMUSIC KILLJOY HERE. You may remember me from such articles as ‘I say hell no to techno, how about you?’ and ‘Media Shmedia.’ Mandy is taking a well earned break, and it is up to me to collate all the entertainment for this week. I just gotta say one thing people: and this goes specifically to all those folk who send in press releases. I can handle the bad spelling and bad grammar, but the moment adjectives are used recklessly and repeatedly to describe how special your little ‘sound’ is, my attention wanes and I find myself wanting to study the finer points of mass population crowd control that Hitler and more recently Bush seem to

have such good a grasp on. At least it cuts to the chase. Now that you all hate me, I am happy and will continue with this week’s roundup of ‘music and art’ – the closest thing humans have from distinguishing ourselves from primates (except techno; any monkey can press a button). Dance Writer disclaimer: And any hack can be a critic.

shoe and apparently there’s a nest of them under the garden furniture. I am not alone. Many women fear spiders. And so, I have noticed do men. Men have a special spider avoidance technique. They pretend not to be frightened, and persuade the freaked out female that it’s OK, and to leave it alone. This looks like courage, but is in fact cowardice. They are shitting themselves, thinking, man, I’m not touching that hairy mother. Men are just as scared of spiders as we are. They just don’t want us to know. To conquer one’s true nature, we must learn to sit with the spiders. I am thinking of running a women’s sexuality workshop that offers ‘Vagina Acceptance’ via a full spider immersion. I mean really, spiders symbolising a fear of the vagina? Freud was obviously off his nut on coke! That’s like implying a fear of snakes means you’re petrified of the penis. How ridiculous. I hate snakes. Help! I am too Jung to be A Freud.

SPIRITUAL SINGER Peruquois Frances has a talent for singing. It was this talent that would take her to the forefront of the Sydney Jazz scene. Yet she became weary of singing about the struggles and sadness of the human spirit and wanted to heal the people’s pain instead

of just singing about it. This led to a ten year study and travel odyssey with her teacher, a traditional Native American Elder who taught her to awaken her ancestral memory and the ancient ways of earth singing and chanting. Peru holds a deep love of creation and opens the voice and the whole body to The Earth Spirit through sacred and ancient women’s chants; breathing and singing into a deep state of union with the Earth. This music touches your mind, opens your heart and feeds your spirit. Songs and chants beautifully sung for the people, for creation and for the earth. Peru will play her only New South Wales show in Byron Bay at Coorabell Hall on Saturday, April 29. For bookings call 0438 945 766.

LIVEMUSIC BUSKING COMP WINNERS

SCREAMING THAT JOKE

The winners of the Busking Competition having only recently formed ‘The Firetree’ are already creating a huge buzz where ever they go. The Firetree combines socially conscious lyrics with a blend of hip hop, R’nB progressive rock and reggae.The band has left a great impression on fans at the Blues and Roots Festival and the Beach Hotel after taking out the Blues over Byron busking competition. They all hail from the Glass House Mountains and the Sunshine Coast, and had only played together for fourteen days before entering the comp (originally Lucy Gallant had entered as a solo busker). They got their gig on stage on the Monday of the Blues Festival & met a lot of artists eg Damian Marley & Yothu Yindi. Their drummer Matt was asked to jam on the main stage with Michael Franti for the ďŹ nale of the Festival. They will be appearing at the Buddha Bar next Fri April 28.

On Thursday, The Screaming Jets will be joined by legendary Melbourne comedian Chris Franklin to deliver over three hours of both music and mirth at the Great Northern. On the phone from Adelaide,

last six years in Sydney and has just recently returned to his hometown. ‘I grew up in Frankston – which is full of bogans. It gave me all the material I needed to start and maintain a career.’ Franklin appeals to the inner bogan in us – he is adorned by an impressive mullet along with the ubiquitous annel shirt, yet there is much more sophistication and depth to his persona than you would ex-

BYRON VISTA SOCIAL CLUB IS ON!

This week the Byron Vista Social Club cranks up again with a veritable plethora of talent to blow you away with their ďŹ ne songs and crisp, recorded-live performances. First up is Zahlu... a young man singing rock/roots/eastern-avoured songs with emotive, spirited, insightful lyrics and magnetic melodies. Rick Fenn (ex 10cc super-guitarist) teams with wife Heather to bring entertaining Music Hall-avoured fun songs to life before your very eyes .. and ears. Vista regular and popular sweetheart Rebecca Ireland returns with new material, adding to her CD collection for release later this year. The Atmospheres, Atmo and Bharti are back from much travelling, bringing their world/ spiritual music alive with guitar, bass and vocal harmonies. Sam Rayne makes her BVSC debut... an exciting young soulful female artist who laid ‘em in the aisles at the Rails Female Singer Songwriter night recently. Ewan James, gravel-voiced Nimbin songsmith will do his unique brand of music, with his unique writing and performance style. Sarah McGregor ďŹ rst-times it also... with material ranging through soulful groove, melodic funk, aching blues and plaintive folk... quite a varied collection! Vista regulars Gabi Bliss, Mook and Shanto and the Vista Crue will perform between the cracks and keep the night alive with harmony, comedy and great songs. See it all at the Ewingsdale Community Hall on Sunday night April 30 from 7.30pm. Cakes and teas and coffee available. PS. Tune Bay FM 99.9 on your dial on Wednesday May 3 at 1pm for the ďŹ rst-ever BVSC Music Show. Keep local music alive in Byron! Apologies for the wrong info in last week’s paper too, it was me, I can’t be trusted.

Rebecca Ireland at the Byron Vista Social Club, Ewingsdale Hall, Sunday Franklin explained the running order for the night: ‘The Jets will blast off early, and play new material for a solid hour or so. Then I’ll pop on for 20 minutes to give the lads a break and then they’re back on to play the hits from their back catalogue.’ Both the Jets and Chris hooked up in Perth last year. Comedians supporting

pect. He has been described as the ‘drinking man’s thinking man’, and wrote and performed the hit song ‘Blokes’ around six years ago. ‘There aren’t that many distinctly sounding Aussie bands anymore,’ Screaming Jets lead singer David Gleeson told The Echo. ‘We are in danger of losing our identity to America.’ According to Gleeson,

there is a fundamental aw in your logic.’ What can we expect from the new material on the upcoming album? ‘It is similar to our last album ‘Tear of Thought’, but a little more diverse. It’s been awesome since we started the tour in Tassy in late March.’ See them on Thursday at the Great Northern. BACK IN THE FORT After nearly 18 months, Byron Bay’s Fort return to rock the Great Northern Hotel. Since the band last gigged at home they have played continuously up and down the east coast, supported US rock legends Clutch in a sold-out run of shows, sold-out every copy of their ‘Never Comin’ Down’ EP as well as making some serious inroads into the North and South American rock’n’roll scene thanks to their recently released ‘A Place In The Sun’ CD. Singer Andy Walker told The Echo ‘This is a chance to showcase our new material, and since we’ve been away for a while, it will be a cranking show.’ Asked about the message in the music, he responded ‘It’s fairly hedonistic – we write songs about surf culture and having a good time.’ Their inuences reect the bands they meet and tour with. ‘Fu Man Chu, Nebula, Kyuss are all buddies of ours and they have inuenced us tremendously.’ Andy said, ‘These are all from the US – we have a strong connection with the Californian hard rock scene.’ For two weeks in May the ďŹ ve-piece will be ensconced at Backbeach Recording Studios on the outskirts of Melbourne laying down tracks for what will become their second full-length album, and ARIA nominated producer/ engineer DW Norton will be capturing the magic. With elements of their renowned sound and some biting, gritty new riffs, Fort will be blasting out a set of brand new tunes this Saturday at Byron Bay’s Great Northern, with support from Mary Tremble’s and Lennox Head locals The Ride. THE MULLUM FOLK CLUB PRESENTS... MURRAY KYLE

Fort at the Great Northern, Saturday bands is not uncommon in the US, but relatively uncharted in the Australian scene. Comedians such Richard Pryor used to open for Sammy Davis Jr in Vagas and Jerry SienďŹ eld has opened for Joe Jackson. ‘It all seems to work’ Franklin told The Echo. ‘Although you have to be careful; only certain types of music will work with comedy.’ Chris Franklin, though a melbourne native, spent the

bands are asked to change certain things to suit the US audience ‘Very few Australian groups have had success in the US on their own terms – they also want you to s-l-o-w d-o-w-n your talking.’ Unlike many Aussie bands, the Jets have a reputation for speaking their mind. ‘I’m not one to champion all of the wrongs in the world,’ he said, ‘but if you make decisions purely based on monetary reasons, then

Here at The Echo, we have an ILLUSION of workers. The Blues Festival saw an INDULGENCE of baby-boomers, an INSOUCIANCE of black musicians, an IMMODESTY of tattoos and an overall INFLUXION of visitors causing an great INCREMENT of poohs.

LIVEMUSIC CHEYNNE MURPHY The organicky acoustic roots rock of Cheynne Murphy is sneaking back to the Aussie Tavern this Thursday, 27th of April 8pm and on Monday night, May 1 at the Rails. Cheynne has been playing the last Thursday of the month in somewhat of a residency at the Aussie Tavern and he has been bringing his one man percussion band ‘The Secret’, aka Carl Hemmings, drummer/ percussionist/vocalist extraordinaire. These guys seriously rock out as a two piece with solid song-crafting, sweet harmonies and a stripped back but big acoustic sound. The music focuses on big dynamics, moving effortlessly from subtle quiet reections to big emotive choruses and he has been described as a cross between Jeff Buckley and Pete Murray. The past few months has seen Cheynne in the studio with Anthony Lycenko (Pete Murray, Scarlett Affection) and producer Carl Hemmings recording his second EP ‘Return to the source’, which will be mixed and mastered and available for sale on the night. Check out this ďŹ ne Australian singer-songwriter showcasing his new CD, 8pm this Thursday at the Aussie Tavern and on Monday night, 6.30pm at the Rails, Byron. THE WRIGHT STUFF Since ďŹ rst performing at the Rails over a year ago now The Wright Brothers have never failed to deliver an outstanding show, earning themselves a healthy reputation amongst the crowd. As of this Thursday The Wright Brothers will be starting a residency, performing every Thursday at the Rails. This year the group has been moving along in leaps and bounds. After recording two tracks with renowned producer Mark Opitz at the beginning of the year, The Wright Brothers have toured to Melbourne, playing at Melbourne’s live music hot spot the Esplanade Hotel as well as other top venues in Sydney and Canberra. More recently the Wright Brothers performed

CULTUREEVENTS SHIRLEY VALENTINE BY WILLY RUSSELL

“Gone to Greece. Back in 2 weeks.â€? Imagine coming home from work one day and ďŹ nding your partner has written this little note for you. Bit of a shock! The note is from Shirley Valentine, a working class woman from Liverpool who has never travelled abroad before. What on earth does she think she is doing? Well it might just be the 1980’s equivalent of what many of us here in the Byron area may have done. What dream inspired your leap of faith to come to a place of sea and sun? Was it to rediscover yourself all over again? This upcoming play is the second production for the newlyformed Sweet Whispers

‘I’m fuckin’ sick of it.’ was the word from THE BASS PLAYER in the reggae outďŹ t Stick. ‘Food platters, everyone pushing drugs down my throat... Oh, and don’t get me started on the threesomes.’ The usually shy and retiring BASS PLAYER has come out and set the record straight on life touring with perhaps the most infamous unknown ensemble ever to do the onedrop. ‘It’s the other guys’ he conďŹ des, ‘They are absolute pricks of human beings. You won’t print that though, will you?’

Theatre Company incorporated, a not-for-proďŹ t association based in Byron Bay. This company was formed to create exciting and honest productions that capture the imagination and the heart. And the play Shirley Valentine will take you into the weird and wonderful imagination of Shirley Valentine the woman, whose generous heart is aching with unfulďŹ lled life as her most faithful conversational partner is the kitchen wall. The play, an amusing and affecting comedy/drama, by British playwright Willy Russell, provides a witty, intelligent and touching story about Shirley Valentine’s mid-life crisis, or maybe more accurately her mid-life adventure in the search for

With little or no understanding of the media mechanism at work, he continued to denigrate every facet of music, art, expression, freedom until the editor pulled the plug fearing a murder of lawyers smacking lawsuits on this tiny publication. ‘Be assured this is the last time I ever play with them. Our tour manager has arranged for us to arrive in separate limousines to the gig, and make no mistake, when it’s over I’ll be torching the fucking place.’ Although previous threats of a Stick break up have been circulating for years, THE BASS PLAYER is adamant that this is ďŹ nal. ‘I’m going to get a job

happiness. This one woman show features the remarkable actress and story teller, Clare Wigley, as Shirley. She also stars as her ball and chain, wet blanket of a husband, her ighty daughter, her drop-out son, her friends, the Greek waiter Costas and many more colourful characters. With her national and international acting career, Clare has the experience and capacity to convey the emotions, confusions and desires of a woman wanting more from life. Danielle Coleman has been involved in the theatre as director, producer, teacher and actor in Europe and Australia, including directing a highly acclaimed production of the Vagina Monologues by Eve Ensler in Luxembourg. See it Wednesday, Friday and Saturday May 3, 5, 6 at

in a chicken factory and live in a yurt.’ The last Stick gig will be at the Rails Friendly bar on Friday from 7pm. THE NORTH COAST JAZZ FESTIVAL

The North Coast Jazz Festival will once again be on in the town of Bangalow. Those of you who came last year will remember that it was a high standard event, with some of the best musicians in this country. Not just jazz but hip hop, latin and other styles with a jazz inuence. Serious music lovers were overjoyed with the line-up. The Festival will take place on 9 – 12th June in 4 venues around the town of Bangalow. Included on this year’s bill is Axel Whitehead, presenter of Video Hits on Channel Ten, The Jackie Orszarczky trio, Badema featuring Moussa Diakite (former guitarist to Salif Keita), Circle of Rhythm (Ben Walsh, Bobby Singh, Greg Sheehan), Eric Ajaye (Straight up), George Washingmachine, Darren Percival, The Brand New Sweeties, Oh and a percussion group that will be put together by Greg Sheehan and Simon Barker (two giants in their ďŹ eld) on the outdoor stage on Sunday. Returning from last year is The Ted Vining trio featuring Bob Sedergreen and The Twelve Tone Diamonds. Master classes and workshops for aspiring musicians and vocalists will also be held over the weekend. Delicious food and drinks will be available. The town will be buzzing.... Get your ticket SOON!! so you don’t miss out. Tickets are $125 for the weekend pass or $55 per day, half day pass $40, half day conc. $20.

Audun has played at just about every decent club in Australia as well as making regular excursions overseas. He has a Friday residency at Elsewhere and is coming to Play at Byron this Saturday. I took the opportunity to ask him about Europe, vinyl and Gold Coast Cheese. How big is Europe’s inuence on the aussie scene? A lot of the artists leading the way in the genres being pushed over here at the moment are based in Europe, and hence would indirectly be quite inuential on the Australian scene.

Do you ďŹ nd the punters are more up for your style in different cities/countries? I’m very fortunate at Elsewhere since most of our crowd are regular members coming in every week, and hence are accustomed to my sound. This creates an environment and an atmosphere where experimentation, rule-bending, and introduction of new sounds are well received. When I play interstate I usually ďŹ nd the crowds to be really openminded, especially at places like Honkytonks, Revolver, and Onesixone in Melbourne, and Chinese Laundry in Sydney. Internationally, the best response I’ve had to my music would be in cities like London and Barcelona where punters are well educated due to the abundance of venues playing various electronic subgenres. How does the Gold Coast club scene rate nationally? If you ask anyone who’s not from the Gold Coast they would probably not rate it highly. But if you speak to interstate acts that have played at Elsewhere they would tell you it’s one of the best gigs you can do in this country at

the moment. It’s deďŹ nitely a small scene without abundant choices, but it’s got great energy and some really dedicated and talented people involved. The scene overall on the coast is getting stronger and stronger and increasingly educated when it comes to electronic music. So is the cheesy club stereotype of the Gold Coast valid? Still lots of cheese dominating the town, but that only creates great opportunities for the dedicated few to ďŹ ll the gap and bring something proper to the table. It generates an exciting dynamic that within a couple of hundred metres you would ďŹ nd some of the cheesiest clubs in the country and some of the un-cheesiest clubs in the country side by side. Where would you like to see house music in the future? I would like to see continuous evolvement of additional sub-genres. That way I would never get bored, less djs would sound the same, and it would make our job even more interesting in terms of being an avenue for personal expression. Will vinyl ever die? I sure hope not. In addition to offering superior sound quality,

CULTUREEVENTS SONGWRITING WORKSHOP WITH GYAN

So inspired was local singer/ songwriter Gyan from attending Sarah Armstrong’s course on creative writing that she has decided to start her own course on songwriting. ‘That writing course was fantastic, and it inspired me to apply similar teaching principles to composing lyrics and songs,’ Gyan told The Echo. Songwriting in the round is a term that Gyan coined – a Gyanism – which originated from the US. ‘Songs In The Round is where usually three performers will use the same back up band (rhythm section) to perform.’ She added ‘Song-

writing gives you the chance to either follow deďŹ ned and structured rules or throw them off and be completely free.’ The course is open to all comers, and it is hoped that it will encourage participants to not only learn the techniques from Gyan but to learn from each other. ‘Everyone has a strength that they can impart and it is a great opportunity to cowrite.’ Gyan will be holding the six week course every Wednesday mornings from 9.30am to 12.30pm, starting May 10. For bookings phone 6685 7584 or 0413 036 994. Spaces are limited so jump in quick.

it’s the pleasure of physically working with vinyl that makes them far better than cCDs. I have never played an mp3 throughout my whole career. Every track I play has been dug out from a crate, not downloaded off some web-site where the recording artist gets peanuts. I thoroughly enjoy all the work that goes into producing a piece of vinyl, including the sleeve artwork, and I think DJs that these days rely on downloaded mp3s burnt onto CDs in a way are disrespecting the people making it possible for us to do what we do. When a producer has put his or her heart into making a track and accompanying that track with artwork I would much rather pay 20 bucks for a piece of vinyl to help ensure the motivation for producers to release their material on vinyl doesn’t disappear. What kind of set will you drop at Play? It’ll be a concoction of electro, minimal, and acid. My friends have labelled it bent electronic boogie, and my girlfriend calls it ‘bleep bleep bloop bleep bloop – music.’ Audun is at Play this Saturday night with support from Byron veteren Dave C and leader of the new school Rock Hardson.

MOVIEREVIEWS FAVOURITE MOVIE

QUOTATIONS V FOR VENDETTA

EIGHT BELOW

V for Vendetta is a visually sumptuous ďŹ lm that combines political allegory, bloody action, and some stunning cinematic moments. V for Vendetta bears the earmarks of a comic book-to-ďŹ lm adaptation: rich images, deep shadows, and strong iconography in the tradition of Sin City. The ďŹ lm’s screenwriters are the Wachowski Brothers, well known for their Matrix ďŹ lms. The ďŹ lm is set in a 2020 London, and the world is in turmoil. Across the ocean, the United States has collapsed into civil war caused by plague, poverty, and civil unrest. Things are calmer in England, due to the totalitarian reign of fascist dictator Adam Sutler (John Hurt), whose bedtime reading is likely to be Mein Kampf. Terror roams the streets at night, not only in the form of the Chancellor’s thuggish enforcers, but in the masked person of “Vâ€? (Hugo Weaving), a mysterious swashbuckling ďŹ gure whose features are hidden behind the plastic likeness of Guy Fawkes. Set against this futuristic landscape of totalitarian Britain the ďŹ lm tells the story of a young working-class woman who is rescued from a life-and-death situation by a masked man known only as “V.â€? Profoundly complex, V is at once literary, amboyant, tender and intellectual, a man dedicated to freeing his fellow citizens from those who have terrorized them into compliance. Ross Goode

Before returning to Australia, light-horsemen who rode in the cavalry charge at Beersheba put down their animals lest they be maltreated in their absence. It’s a kind of love. This is the harrowing tale of the fate of eight huskies who were left behind after the abandonment of their Antarctic base camp. The environment is an unforgiving one, but fortunately we do not need to decide whom to barrack for if, in their desperate search for food, they come upon the marching penguins. Equal time is spent with their handler, Jerry, whose inescapable remorse drives him to go back and ďŹ nd them. Cinema veritĂŠ has never been the go of Disney Studios, so it would be a carping criticism to bag this movie for its shameless elevation of the somewhat outdated ideals of selessness, collaboration and responsibility. Not all of the dogs survive the ordeal – the separation of the twins is simply unbearable – but we know the ending will be a happy one and the reunion is as lachrymose as you would expect, or hope for. Blueeyed Max brings it home with a performance of star quality not seen since the legendary Ilsa the lioness. It worked for me. John Campbell

I don’t even know how long she’s been gone. It’s like I’ve woken up in bed and she’s not here... because she’s gone to the bathroom or something. But somehow, I know she’s never gonna come back to bed. If I could just... reach over and touch... her side of the bed, I would know that it was cold, but I can’t. I know I can’t have her back... but I don’t want to wake up in the morning, thinking she’s still here. I lie here not knowing... how long I’ve been alone. So how... how can I heal? How am I supposed to heal if I can’t... feel time? ~ Memento

Dave Douglas (Tim Allen) is an assistant District Attorney who lives in one of those impossibly neat California ‘burbs. He neglects his wife and hasn’t got much of a clue about the aspirations of of his teenage daughter and son. Enter a 300 year-old sheep dog stolen from Tibetan monks and transported to the US to be part of a scheming scientist’s plans to make a fortune from its longevity gene. The mutt nips Dave and suddenly he starts behaving in a strangely canine manner, gaining revelatory insights about his family as a result. A human playing a dog is a crusty caper. Allen does it as stupidly as any of his predecessors and there is something truly disturbing about the fat pink tongue that dangles out of his mouth. The best gags were revealed in the previews, but the one where Allen, in suit and tie and on all fours, chases a cat and skittles an old lady with a walking frame was well received by the little boys in the house. Robert Downey Jr, whose career lurches from the sublime to the ridiculous, hams it up to great effect as the baddie, but the movie is inextinguishably bland. John Campbell

Intoxicating chant, spoken word & song

Byron Shire Echo April 25, 2006 29

www.echo.net.au

S TA R S

GEMINI: Geminis rely on building up the goodwill and trust of others. If this week’s same old same old vibes have you craving change and stimulation sure, do something new – but not at the cost of jeopardising a long standing personal or business relationship.

SCORPIO: If others aren’t loving you the way you want – well, do they ever, for any of us? If you’re not being loved the way you had in mind, accepting love whichever way it comes – whatever shape or form it takes – mightn’t be a bad idea this week.

CANCER: Mars in Cancer can be a burning, churning aspect for Crabs. But you should know by now the consequences of not expressing how you feel: nuclear seething, digestive upsets, knotted nerves, snappy reactions. This week it’s time speak your mind – but keep it kind.

SAGITTARIUS: You might be in go-go mode, but this week’s universe is on go-slow as Sun in Taurus turns the cosmic wheel from fast and furious to slow and steady, from fiery and inspiring to sturdier, more worldly concerns. Your home page and heart department need quality attention‌

LEO: No need to knock yourself out, go overboard or exaggerate this week to impress others – you’re already impressive. And though you might want to surge ahead with something while others are boringly cautious, they have a point – as doing your homework will show.

CAPRICORN: Don’t go into overload mode this week. Relax the responsibility factor. Affection, warmth, caring and being cared for are far more important than perfectly done work. This is prime time for getting up close and personal, and letting yourself be pampered a little – better still, a lot.

ARIES: You want action not vague views or lukewarm enthusiasm this week, and might be inclined to express impatience in blunt, hurtful terms. But if considering people’s feelings is more important to you than getting what you want, you’ll gain more allies than you do opponents.

VIRGO: We all have tried and tested methods we know work – which can lead to the fatal mistake of becoming set in our ways. Predictability in habits, thought patterns, ways of behaving takes the spontaneity and freshness out of life. Stay available to outrageousness this week.

AQUARIUS: If this week puts you between a rock and a hard place and neither are particularly attractive propositions, don’t lock into either/or thinking. You’re Aquarian, so get creative. Look for a third option or figure out a fourth – by which time everything will have changed anyway.

TAURUS: Don’t take this week’s ups and downs too seriously. Let go of needing to be needed – step back and observe the passing parade from a different perspective. Even then appearances are deceiving – there’s plenty of fascinating, encouraging stuff happening behind the scenes.

LIBRA: Nice Venus vibes for Librans right now. The only fly in this week’s soup could be prickly feelings caused by Mercury in Aries’ lack of tact – annoying, but nothing you savvy diplomats can’t work with. There’s enough delectable diversions and pleasurable little pit stops to make up for it.

PISCES: Being down to earth is necessary and sensible – being obsessed with material possessions and concerns isn’t either. Refuse to let this week’s driven material world’s weights and worries give you concrete boots – keep your spirit strong, stay around friends on the same wavelength.

send pics to seven@echo.net.au please!

Lilith As Taurus the Bull puts its foot down and says Show! Don’t tell, this week’s people become less interested in ideas and more in things that actually exist. What they can see or touch fluttering in front of them like a bullfighter’s cape gets their attention...

FREESTUFF PERU We are giving away a CD and a double pass to see Peru at Coorabell hall on Saturday night. Simply email mandypow@echo.net.au with the email header ‘Peru’ and the ďŹ rst in gets the booty. Don’t forget to include yer phone number.

uninvited into his sleeping bag. I declined to tease him further and allowed him to tell his story in peace. He was a member of the Returned Stoners League, and had survived the Lebanese Hashish of StrathďŹ eld in 1969, the Aquarius Festival of 1973 and the Main Arm Raids of 1983. His life and thought processes had pretty much stood still since then but he had a gentle nature and after we reached the tenth crossing I surprised myself by accepting an invitation to his home. Home was reached via a dirt track overarched by a profusion of owering lantana, its coarse branches decorated here and there with faded Tibetan prayer ags. At the end of said track we came upon a faded canvas tipi with an incongruous annexure of a tin and weatherboard humpy. The interior decor was sparse, to say the least, consisting mostly of Artemis’s sagging camp stretcher and a rickety table. ‘Um, man, I’ve got a bottle of beer somewhere and some chokos out the back we can boil up, and we can always roll a number,’ offered Artemis. It was not quite the haute cuisine I was used to. I assured Artemis that, as grateful for his kindness as I was, his efforts were not necessary and I fetched from the Bugatti a picnic basket Chef had made up in case I became peckish. Artemis’s eyes lit up like a schoolboy’s in a chocolate shop as I unpacked the provender. We began with spring rolls and a chili salsa and moved on to the roast duck sandwiches accompanied by Lot 107 Contretemps Chablis with its rich afterpalate of smacked leather. It is safe to say that lunch was a part of nature that Artemis enjoyed merging with – if his cries of ‘Wow!’ were anything to go by – and may have led to a further step on the steep incline to ‘enlightenment and stuff’.

ON A pleasant Sunday I borrowed Tosser Digby’s Bugatti T41 Royale, with its modest eight cylinder, 12.8 litre engine, and took it for a leisurely spin in the countryside. Turning into Wilsons Creek Road from the golf course end, I happened upon a gaunt gentleman of about 60 with white hair owing over his yellow cheesecloth shirt. His spindly legs were encased in a pair of blue 1972 Amco bell bottoms, embroidered with dragonies and butteries and the knees darkened by what looked like crankcase oil stains. He held out a thin arm in one of the acceptable variations on the universal signal of the hitchhiker. I hesitated to stop, fearing I would be in the grip of some Ancient Mariner who would wafe on at length on a topic completely devoid of interest, but the remaining shard of my sense of compassion won out. ‘Thanks man, nice car,’ he said as he climbed into the front passenger seat, bringing with him the pungent aroma of cannabis sativa mingled with nicotinia rustica, beer and stale sweat. ‘My pleasure, dear chap,’ I said. ‘Where may I take you?’ ‘Tenth crossing would be far out. Name’s Artemis.’ ‘Bitemark. Returning home?’ ‘Yeah, caught a band at the Bruns. Cool, but miss the bush.’ ‘You are involved in one of the agrarian pursuits then?’ ‘Huh? Philosophy’s my bag, you dig, getting back to enlightenment and stuff.’ ‘And what would be the exact nature of the stuff?’ ‘You know, being one with, like, nature, and experiencing universal love.’ ‘Which part of nature, precisely, the red in tooth and claw or the inďŹ nite void of space?’ Artemis looked at me quizzically, as if I might be a scorpion which had crawled

Mouthfuls of Melbourne

Mullumbimby

Vi c t o r i a C o s f o rd ACKLAND STREET, St Kilda, Melbourne, an April Monday morning unseasonably warm. I am standing, nose not quite pressed up against the glass of the Ackland St. Cake Shop, in a city bustle of people with purpose printed in their paces and on their faces. That country bumpkin feeling again, every time I step out of my Comfort Shire, imbues my expression with a look of perpetual wonderment, like those laughing clowns at fun fairs whose open-mouthed heads turn their rictus endlessly from side to side. Just looking at these cakes, for example. This particular shop I have been reading about for years: it is old and famous, but I am still unprepared. Here are all the calories in the universe poured into edible shapes – puffs and whirls, rectangles and balls, cubes and pyramids – then arranged into art. Here, just in the looking, I feel six kilos fatter; when beside me an elderly man stops to gaze as well I say as much to him. I say to him that here is an example of when it does hurt to look, and he laughs, and in a thick East European accent tells me how the condition of his heart permits him merely the looking but never the caving in to the eating. We stand side by side and absorb the vision like so much jewellery: the Almond Tarts and the Strudels, the cherry-glazed cream-ďŹ lled French gateaux, the Coconut Slices and the Eclairs, the Walnut Slices and the Chocolate Tunnels, the French Vanilla Tarts and Rum Cigars and Meringues, the Nougat Logs and Chocolate Kugelhopfs and Apple Crumbles, the Chocolate Wafes and Pecan Slices and fruit-studded Snails. There are Rum Babas as large as a ďŹ st, glazed with blueberries, strawberries and kiwis then drenched in syrup; the Rygor Delight is four inches of chocolate mousse covered in ganache; the Nut Slices are layers of buttery pastry, jam and toasted coconut topping sticky with more sugar syrup. The meringues are the size of grapefruit and come in turquoise, lime green, hot pink and coffeebrown. The great thing is that I feel no desire to actually eat one of these creations: the looking truly is enough. Several shopfronts up I am inspecting another famous cakeshop, the Monarch, with its Blackforest Slices and its grotesque Rum Balls, its Florentines and Parisiennes, its Plumcakes and Polish Cheesecakes and Poppy Delights, its Strudels and Sachertortes and Cherry Kugelhopfs. The elderly men sitting inside look as if they have been there forever, constitute the tableau of a

heavy gilt-edged old painting. As if to rid my palate – even my literary palette – of all this sweet richness, I plant myself before the window of the Edelweiss Deli, where a different sort of swooning ensues. Why, with all the sea-changing sophisticates who come from such cities as Melbourne and Sydney, come furthermore equipped with money, inspiration, experience and vision, do we not have this sort of deli up here? The cakeshops I can understand, spawned as they are from tradition and having attained a timelessness untouched by fashion and change: this is not something we can merely graft on to the brittle, eager, inconstant face of our shopfronts. But we could manage a deli like this one, its streetfront window an irresistible invitation to spontaneous picnics, cluttered with amazing breads, vibrant salads, tarts and bakes, wraps and ďŹ lo pastries, tiny peppers stuffed with goat’s cheese, glazed ďŹ gs and apricots plump with mascarpone, olives in a host of sizes, cheeses from everywhere, antipasti, terrines and pates – a greedy girl’s heaven. This greedy girl burned from one end of St Kilda Esplanade to the other the morning she was due to leave, just one in a sea of joggers and power walkers, in order to justify breakfast at the Richmond Hill Cafe and Larder. Which, after all, turned out to be no more damning than one of their Hot Cross buns, darkly dense malty mouthfuls of mace, cinnamon and sultanas, and a superb coffee.

Sports Roundup with Alex McAuley Giants stand ďŹ rm while Devils roll over The Giants posted another win over the weekend, this time against Lower Clarence with a comfortable 28-12 away victory. Despite the win, coach Paul Latta was disappointed with their completion rate and the amount of dropped ball. ‘Our defence held up strongly, especially in the second half,’ said Latta. ‘The effort everyone put in was huge, but we need to improve our decision making when it comes to giving the pass.’ Latta was very impressed with prop Brett Archibald who came up from reserves after Corey Windle withdrew. ‘He was by far the best player on the ďŹ eld,’ said Latta. ‘He’ll be likely to earn a ďŹ rst grade position for next week’s game against Marist Brothers.’ Latta went on to say that he expects Brothers to be tough to beat, and that it would come down to ball control. ‘The less time that we let them have the

ball, the less chances they will get to score,’ he said.The game will be played on Sunday afternoon at Les Donnelly ďŹ eld, kickoff at 2.45pm. Final score Mullumbimby 28 d Lower Clarence 12; reserve grade Mullumbimby 32 d Lower Clarence 16; under 18s Lower Clarence 28 d Mullumbimby 10. Things are not looking so rosy for Byron Bay, however, after a huge 76-0 loss to Marist Brothers in Lismore. Devils coach Arthur Sauverain described the game as ‘frustrating’. ‘After 30 minutes the game was locked at 0-0,’ said Sauverain. ‘Then two silly intercept attempts allowed Brothers to score two simple tries, followed by one more before half time and all of sudden the game’s completely changed.’ According to Sauverain, lack of fitness and poor application to all six tackles let Byron Bay down, and he

continues to be frustrated by lack of training facilities and home games due to the grounds being unplayable after the Blues Fest. ‘The Blues Fest brings in lots of money for the club, but it makes running a team a nightmare,’ said Sauverain. ‘The grounds are still being ďŹ xed up so we’re training at Bangalow Showground which is far from ideal and we can’t have any home games for at least three or four weeks. It doesn’t make things easy when we are already struggling.’ Best players for Sauverain were Lee Funnell and Ben Coombs in the front row. They face Tweed Coast Raiders next week, once again in an away ďŹ xture. Final scores Marist Brothers 76 d Mullumbimby 0; reserve grade Marist Brothers 54 d Byron Bay 12; under 18s Marist Brothers 50 d Byron Bay 0.

Controlled thuggery retains Ashes for Byron

Matt Alexander Byron Bay Rugby Union gained its ďŹ rst win of the year with a hard fought and passionate victory over old rivals Mullumbimby on Saturday and made sure the Ashes stay in the Bay for another twelve

months. With the Mullum/ Tweed U19 and the Bangalow/Iluka games setting the stage for the day, the large home crowd was treated to a typical Ashes spectacle with the game tight all the way to the final whistle. Byron

opened the scoring early with a charge down try to Matt Alexander built on the ferocious domination of the Byron pack at the breakdown in the ďŹ rst minutes of the game. Play then seesawed as neither team could gain a stranglehold on possession and both sides were defending hard all over the ground. With a half time lead of 5-3, the revelation of the game so far was that of the much maligned Byron forwards. This group of trained thugs was inspiring at the set piece with their ďŹ rst tight head of the year as well as around the ground where they provided clean and controlled ball for the backs who again showed their pace and precision. With 10 to go, Byron scored a penalty but it was not until the last seconds of the game that the issue was beyond doubt. Byron strung two perfectly drilled phases together, straight from the coaches manual, to send Rob Caldwell over in the corner to secure the Ashes with a 15-3 score line. Special mention was made of towering second rower Ant Barchard, Welsh battering ram Mark Ainsworth in the centres, rookie prop Ash Burnet who showed great mental toughness and our own French sensation Stephan Petitgirad at number eight. The glories of the day can be best summed up by Coach Warren Fisher who was found still celebrating the win with some quality Cognac, stroking the trophy at dawn on Sunday. This weekend Byron travels to Iluka; to join the bus call Matt on 0437 656 984.

Ellis Ericson makes international waves

At just 16 years old Byron Bay surďŹ ng sensation Ellis Ericson is making waves across the big pond with his ďŹ lm debut in Jack McCoy’s ‘Free as a Dog’ about to hit the west coast of the USA. Ellis will be travelling to the US with Jack to promote the movie as it premieres in San Diego before travelling round California for three weeks. This talented youngster has been snapped up by Billabong whose scouts spotted him while he was competing in the big junior events around Australia, the biggest of which being the GromFest which he won last year. He has taken the plunge and left school to pursue his dream to become a professional surfer, and judging by his perform-

ances so far he looks almost certain to succeed. ‘Ellis presents a really good all round package,’ said his father Bruce. ‘He performs well in competitions, he speaks well in public and is trustworthy enough that his sponsors know he will do the right thing by them when he is travelling.’ Ellis will return to the US later this year to promote ‘Free as a Dog’ on the East Coast where his image has been on a big screen just below MTV studios where Billabong has a agship store in New York City. ‘Waves’ magazine, a New York surfing publication, quipped, ‘I wonder if 16 year old Ellis Ericson knew that every day half a million New

Shores basketball success Philharmonic A new local under 18 men’s rep team has assembled to compete in the North New South Wales State League. And although proudly wearing the name Ocean Shores the team consists of players from Byron and Mullum as well. The boys played their ďŹ rst monthly round in a chilly Tamworth against Coffs Harbour, Port Macquarie, Lismore and the hosts Tamworth. Shores only won one game but in every loss they held the lead early to see it wither in the later quarters. Besides Tamworth, which is a team with mature, focused point guards and easily the biggest bodies in the league, all the other teams sit closely aligned talent and size wise, Ocean Shores included. And although they lost three games the boys feel positive knowing they are in with a sniff in the next round if they tighten up their game. Six foot five vegetarian Dario (streetball) Strebl scored 39 points against Coff’s Harbour in a solo per-

formance that tournament organizers said was easily the stand out of the weekend. He’s been picked in the Northern NSW rep team to play in Sydney. Casey Fung, when not bothered by an array of niggling injuries, was the most explosive guard there. Ry Healey was a monster against Lismore and would have outrebounded Dennis Rodman on the day. Bijan Mashagh brought a forceful presence in offence and defense. Sixteen year old big man Dan Ashton brought bulk and intensity, while Zac Whitehead, Dale Morrow, Jack McKenzie, Dylan Harris and Diego Sabaraini stepped in and performed to their best when needed. The weekend cost the team around $1800, so to make sure they can afford to keep competing the boys are thinking of creative ways to lure some sponsorship support from local business. Anyone interested in sponsoring or offering items to rafe, please contact Brett Madden on 6685 9914 or email him on bret@internode.on.net.

Yorkers and tourists watch him do a nice frontside snap to slide?’ Good question, but regardless of his launch into surďŹ ng superstardom, he continues to work hard at the grass roots where it counts.

Sports Roundup with Alex McAuley Bangalow shows strength in scrappy game Valley

continues its winning ways

Despite weaknesses in some areas of play, Bangalow continues to win games with the whole team pulling together against tough competition. Photo Jeff ‘Grab For Gold’ Dawson

Last weekend’s home game against Iluka had to be relocated to Byron Bay as there were no sports grounds available in Bangalow. It was generally a scrappy game but capably refereed by Byron legend Kevin Maher. Bangalow were stronger in just about all aspects running out winners 12-3. It is early in the season, but a few issues such as goal kicking – one from four – and touch kicking – less than 50% successful – need to be addressed. However Bangalow’s general play was very reliable; strong, steady scrum winning two tight heads, line-outs almost 50-50 and

backs strong in attack and defence. The two new wingers performed well; Chris Bleakley showed a great turn of speed, and Mick Hornery put on a good performance all round. All of the new players did well with Damon Jackson scoring a try in his first runon game. It was not easy playing against Iluka with their spoiling tactics, but Bangalow just could not turn opportunity into points. It was difficult to pick out individual players from a good team display, however centre combination of Matt Bleakley and Steve Jennings was terrific.

Forwards Neil Moran (first try scorer converted by Kegs Jennings) and Greg Cromwell were in everything, with Jock Craigie a great scavenger in the loose. Players’ player was Matt Bleakley and the points went to Daniel Hill (1), Jock Craigie (2), Matt Bleakley (3). Training is on Wednesday night at the sportsgrounds at 6pm; the round four game next weekend will see Bangalow travel to Kyogle, a replay of last year’s grand final. Kyogle was the only team to beat Bangalow last season. Meet at the Bangalow Hotel; bus leaves at 12.30pm sharp.

Rams outclass Stars with a 6-1 win Last Saturday evening the Rams premiers and premier reserves travelled to Oakes Oval to play Italo Stars in what was expected to be a tight encounter. The premier reserves led by Mark Sheperd, Andy Marks and Mitchell McGrath dominated the game as they created chance after chance and took the Rams to a 2-1 victory. In premiers the final outcome could not have been better scripted for the Bay if it had been a movie. Coach Peter Ware has the young Rams side playing outstanding soccer with the fluency of the attack second to none. The first half saw the Rams attack the Italo Stars defence

relentlessly with chance after chance going begging.Whenever the Rams got the ball wide, flankers Eden Robinson and John Bradbury mesmerised the Stars defence. When Stars did attack, the Rams defence was as solid as a rock. Kai Connell in goals is going through a purple patch and was outstanding. The second half started at nil all with the Rams continuing the onslaught, but this time turning it into goals. First Patrick L’Orange scored with a header to make it 1-0, then captain Shaun Packham unleashed a 25 metre bullet that ripped into the back of the net for 2-0. The floodgates opened and L’Orange added a second, Jonathan

another, Richter Steers the fifth and an own goal for the sixth. Stars did manage a consolation goal for a 6-1 win to the Rams. The whole team played well and, with Bruce Morhaus returning this week and the signing of former Perth striker Keith Ryan the coaching staff should be very pleased at this stage of the year. This week the premiers play in the Anzac Cup final and the women’s side plays in the Callum and McMillan Shield final. The premiers play their first home game against Lennox on Saturday. The as yet undefeated third division side played Goonellabah and came away with a 2-0 win.

Once in a lifetime auction for the Kings An auction to raise money for the King family will be held at the Byron Bay Services Club on Saturday May 6 and proceeds go to the King family. Almost 150 auction items have been locked in, from unique collectable surfboards from the 1960’s until today, including a signed Midget Farrelly 10ft surfboard. Also

up for auction will be signed surfboards from past and present professional surfers including Kieren Perrow, Danny Wills, Occy, Andy Irons and Layne Beachley. Other items up for auction include a rare Newtown Jets signed jersey; a cricket bat signed by the Queensland team; a Susie O’Neill signed swimming cap, holidays,

clothing packs, and many NRL team’s jerseys. All items like Ben King himself are real, valuable, and something that only comes along once in a lifetime. Viewing and registration commences at 1.00 pm on Saturday May 6 at the Byron Bay Services Club; auction and entertainment commencing at 4pm.

Pine Ave, Mullumbimby was packed to capacity again on Saturday with Brunswick Valley Soccer Club hoping to continue its successful start to its 2006 campaign. The second division side was held to a 2-2 draw by a dogged Italo Stars team; despite being well on top in the first half, the Valley boys found themselves 2-0 down at the break. After the interval, Valley came back with renewed purpose and after some sustained pressure finally got the breakthough with a well taken goal from Casey Mills. Seconds later, classy leftfooter Jimmy Whiting levelled the scores. With the clock ticking down, the Valley came close but could not deliver the knockout punch. Great performances from Shane Anderton and Damien Kerns-Stokes were the highlight of the day. Lowlight of the day was an ugly stamping incident late in the second half which led to debutante Valley keeper Bruce ‘Bruiser’ Lang requiring stitches in his hand. The third division side had better fortunes with a comfortable 3-2 win over Richmond Rovers. Going with the wind in the first half, the boys went ahead with a superb goal from marksman Dean Treveton. A trademark glancing header from Leon ‘Bumpy’ McClean and yet another goal from Jacksone Sweaney put the Valley firmly in the driving seat. Some late lapses in concentration allowed Rovers to pull back two goals, but the result was never really in doubt. A masterful display at the back from Jerry ‘No relation to Stan’ Bowles laid the groundwork for the win. The fourths fought out a tough 0-0 draw with Lismore’s Italo Stars. An arresting performance from Mark Patten and a typically solid game from player coach Mick Hardy were the highlights. They have been boosted by the return of the evergreen Ray Musgrave and the last minute signing of Vegetarian Mikey, whose deft footwork and sausage-free diet have quickly made him a club favourite. The fifths went down 1-3 to Murwillumbah despite a stunning strike from controversial French striker Mitya V i b e r t - G u i g e . Yo u n g e r brother Pascal was a standout along with Lucas Mott and Fritz. The Valley looks forward to the return of coach Matt Woods from Sydney, where he has been assisting Socceroos coach Guus Hidink with his World Cup preparations.

Apologies to those who turned up to local ďŹ re stations on Saturday hoping to climb all over a ďŹ re engine only to ďŹ nd that we had published the wrong date last week. The Fire Brigade open day is on this Saturday, April 29 from 10am to 2pm. Find out why you need a smoke alarm, and if you drop into the Mullumbimby station grab a sausage from the guys ďŹ ring up the barbecue. Q Q Q Q It might not feel like winter yet, but in a month or so the nights will turn chilly – no fun if you are sleeping outdoors. For many homeless, the closest they come to snuggling under a warm doona is sheltering under a cardboard box or wrapping up in yesterday’s newspaper. The Echo is once again running a winter appeal for blankets, scarves, beanies and socks. If you really want to put some love into your donation, how about knitting a scarf or getting together with some friends to knit a few squares and then sew those into a blanket. Bring your winter warmers into the Echo’s Byron Bay or Mullumbimby office by May 8 and we will forward them on to the Mullumbimby Neighbourhood Centre and Byron Bay Uniting Church to help them with their services for the homeless. Q Q Q Q At the tender age of 16, Mullumbimby identity Richard L Kidby, who is now 86, rode a bicycle with his brother Lester from Melbourne to Townsville. Ever since then it’s been a long history of achievement, from creating Australia’s ďŹ rst solar powered boat to representing Australia in three different sports.You can ďŹ nd out all about Richard’s life when he addresses U3A Brunswick Valley at the Uniting Church, Brunswick Heads, at 10am on Tuesday May 16. Richard’s message to listeners will be:

No comment necessary really. Snapped on the Burringbar Range by Peter King.

‘Just go out and do it now – tomorrow you’ll be dead.’ Q Q Q Q An article in the Daily Telegraph on the ‘grinch-like’ nature of Byron residents drew the attention of Crikey, which asked Mungo for a response. We thought the result was hilarious – www. c r i k e y. c o m . a u / a r t i cles/2006/04/20-1537-6084. html. Q Q Q Q We are pleased as Punch to report that Our David won the inaugural Seniors tournament at the Doeberl Cup, Australia’s prestige chess event. One of his victories was described as a ‘massacre’. Q Q Q Q You can now overcome your aversion to big pharmaceutical companies! The Onion magazine shows how – www. theonion.com/content/ node/46032. Q Q Q Q The Centre for Independent Studies (CIS) has announced that Tax Freedom Day this year is April 25 – Anzac Day. Every year the CIS calculates the day when Australians will ďŹ nally ďŹ nish paying for the government’s spending for the

year so they can start to work for themselves. This is ‘Tax Freedom Day.’ Q Q Q Q One hundred years ago, Tax Freedom Day fell on January 24. At the outbreak of World War II it fell on February 26.

By the late 1950s, it had extended to March 19, and it shifted into April during the Whitlam years. According to the Centre, the Howard government has beneďŹ ted from a total tax revenue increased by eight per cent over last year.
