Nothing to do, cry youth at forum Hans Lovejoy A youth forum was held last Wednesday at the Youth Activities Centre (YAC) in Byron Bay to address the recent spate of violence in the town. Around 40 attended and included a crew of young people and representatives from Byron Bay police, the Chamber of Commerce, Byron Shire Council, Byron Bay High School, youth workers and concerned parents. In a frank look at the problems facing young people and the town, Street Cruise coordinator Deb Pearse opened discussion and asked the teenagers to speak. ‘There’s nothing to do and no facilities for youth at night’ was the overwhelming response. Addressing the specific incidents of fighting, the teenagers said that ever since the Rex Hunt incident, many tourists have been coming here looking for fights. ‘They provoke us,’ one teenager said. ‘They spit at us, throw

rubbish at us and on the ground and that makes me angry.’ Most of them agreed that they wanted somewhere away from licensed premises but near food and drink outlets. Mayor Jan Barham followed the discussion with a call for mutual respect and to acknowledge that the town is reliant on tourism. Police Inspector King echoed her comments and added that he has a ‘duty of care’ for the whole community, both the tourists and locals. He was particularly concerned about the underaged drinking by young girls. The media was also a hot topic for discussion; the teenagers said they were not getting a fair go from mainstream media. Recent stories of riots were exaggerated and assertions that text messages were circulated encouraging rioting were dismissed as lies. ‘None of us ever have [phone] credit’ was one

response. Another teenager said his words were taken out of context and manipulated. The exaggerated number of those fighting (around 300) was also dismissed by Inspector King. Po s s i b l e solutions included skate parks at the Butler Street Reserve and at Baywood Chase. The Mayor also mentioned that Apex Park at Main Beach could be developed into a designated youth area. The Youth Centre could be a night club venue for young people. Previously C-Moog night club (which is now called Play) did regular underaged events but problems arose when the teenagers didn’t go inside and instead hung around the carpark. A festival for youth was also mentioned, in the style of Rukkus, the skate event in Mullumbimby last April. ‘It was an amazing meeting and we thank everyone that came,’ Deb Pearse later continued on page 2

Alex McAuley Howard Furner is busy fine tuning his classic homegrown billycart in preparation for his tenth year of racing at the Bangalow Billycart Derby. Nicknamed ‘The Goonengerry Goer’, Howard’s original cart is one of three

he intends to enter in this year’s derby. ‘As well as the original homegrown cart, I’ve got one that I found at the tip that needs a bit of work and a three wheeler that I’ve revamped for the professional race,’ said Howard.

Howard, who lives in Goonengerry (hence the name of his cart), has a longstanding friendly rival in his ex-Federal neighbour Paul Dunn, owner of the infamous ‘Federal Flyer’. Both Howard and Paul have made the lead-up continued on page 2

told The Echo. ‘It’s notoriously hard to get young people to come to something like this; it’s scary and confronting for them. The tension eased once they realised that they are supported and respected.’ Pearse also added that the failure by the mainstream media to report the facts truthfully has exacerbated tension in the community. ‘They have been irresponsible, inaccurate and inammatory with respect to this issue and we ask that they take more care.‘ Street Cruise, the volunteer program that provides mentoring and support for kids in Byron at night, runs out of money in June. The program has been very successful in the past, but needs to be funded to pay for mentors to be on the street. Pearse is appealing to the business community to inject funds into this worthy cause. It was agreed to meet again this week with a view to working on how to best use the YAC space and to address the issues that face the younger people of Byron Bay. Everyone is welcome at the Byron Youth Activities Centre on Wednesday at 4pm.

have entered the Tag Team Race, various age category races, Homegrown and Professional. One year he managed to persuade one of the boys’ mothers to enter the mothers’ race, and last year, one of his young protĂŠgĂŠes was tremendously excited to not only race against but beat the Federal Flyer no less than five times. ‘He was only about 10 years old,’ said Howard, ‘and the Feddie Flyer is a legend around these parts, so he was over the moon. He went home that day really inspired and started working on drawings and

plans for building a new cart for the next derby.’ Howard has always loved building things, and after watching the ďŹ rst billycart derby all those years ago decided that he was going to have to get involved in the next one. Things haven’t changed, and he still relishes working on his carts and mentoring the neighbourhood kids. ‘This is really what the Billycart Derby is all about,’ said Howard. ‘It’s not just about blokes trying to beat each other across the ďŹ nishing line; it’s about building a better community.’

Council investigates beach scraping Michael McDonald Byron Shire Council is to investigate beach scraping, sometimes known as beach skimming, as a means of controlling erosion on the coastline. The practice involves moving sand up from the low tide line to the dune front by bulldozer and has been largely discontinued because of tighter environmental controls introduced by the state government. Council’s move at its planning meeting last week followed on opposing submissions from New Brighton lobby groups. Peter Withey, secretary of the New Brighton and South Golden Beach Residents Action Group, argued in favour of a staff recommendation to advise

the New Brighton Progress Association that Council does not support further investigation of beach scraping for the New Brighton beach until the Coastline Management Plan is complete. Faith Duffy of the New Brighton Progress Association and the New Brighton Dunecare Group called for a renewal of beach scraping. Mr Withey said his group comprised immediate beachfront landowners who saw beach scraping as ‘just tinkering. It’s a short term solution and there’s not enough evidence to indicate whether the beach is better or worse off from scraping.’ Ms Duffy described beach scraping as ‘a wonderful way of stopping erosion’. She

said the dunecare group was able to plant out dunes when the sand had been moved up and scraping had been effective at New Brighton for 20 years. She claimed scraping had very little impact on wildlife. Councillors were divided on the issue. Cr PeterWestheimer put up a motion that Council provide a report on beach scraping, which would also contain funding options, to the soon to be convened Coastline Management Committee. Cr Jan Mangleson then put up an amendment that Council receive a report on the process, possible environmental impacts and cost to conduct at New Brighton, in conjunction with the New Brighton Progress Associa-

tion and the New Brighton Dunecare Group, beach scraping for two years to provide a field trial study to assess the viability of beach scraping plus dunal planting as a way of accruing and stabilising the dunal system. The vote on the amendment tied 5-5 and mayor Jan Barham used her casting vote to defeat it. The motion then tied 5-5 and Cr Barham used her casting vote in its favour. Cr Mangleson argued that a trial could be a cost effective way of increasing the dunal system and getting on the ground results. Those opposed to her amendment were concerned about environmental impact, with Cr Barham also saying it was less than a scientiďŹ c study.

Report of Inquiry into PaciďŹ c Highway upgrades released The ďŹ nal report of the parliamentary inquiry into certain Pacific Highway upgrades has been released by General Purpose Standing Committee No.4 Chair, Jenny Gardiner MLC. ‘While there is, of course, community consensus that the Pacific Highway must continue to be upgraded, the inquiry found there is extensive community concern

about the level of some of the upgrades proposed by the state government,’ Ms Gardiner said. ‘Further, there is great concern about the NSW government’s lack of integrated transport planning for the north coast. ‘Throughout the inquiry, coastal residents told us that they were extremely concerned about the dangers of mixing local and heavy traf-

ďŹ c on the highway. They said that the impact of heavy vehicles had worsened dramatically since the longer and heavier B-doubles were allowed on the highway in 2002. However, they said that proposals for six-lane 110kph motorway-type upgrades were not always the best solution, and called on the NSW government to take a strategic approach

to highway upgrades. ‘The committee’s central ďŹ nding is that NSW lacks the comprehensive freight strategy needed to guide the Pacific Highway upgrade program. The ďŹ nal report is on the committee’s website at www. parliament.nsw.gov.au/ gpsc4, hard copies can be requested by phoning 02 9230 3544.

EnviTE trials cane toad traps Funding from the Northern Rivers Catchment Management Authority has been received by EnviTE NSW to undertake trapping trials with the target being the infamous cane toad (Bufo marinus). The funding is part of a larger bucket of money for vertebrate pest control. This includes animals such as toads, pigs and wild dogs.The trapping project aims to protect species and animal communities that are currently listed as threatened, by reducing the impacts from these amphibian pests. The cage traps being used were designed in the Northern Territory and have proved effective in controlling toads in backyards as well as isolated locations such as Kakadu. Traps have a 12 volt powered light which attracts insects and subsequently lures toads through the one way, perspex strip doors. Traps have been set up at

identified many native animals that have died as a result of eating toads. Species that are being targeted for protection Byron Shire include the Black Bittern, Bush Hen, Black-necked Stork, Com-

Highway upgrade will destroy agriculture, say growers Coffee growers and macadamia farmers north of Ballina are concerned that their industries will be destroyed depending on which route option NSW Minister for Roads Eric Roozendaal chooses for the

Tintenbar-Ewingsdale upgrade. Rebecca Zentveld, owner of Zentveld Coffee, one of the properties which could be adversely affected by the highway upgrade, said that coffee is not easily grown in

most soils, and that the quality of the ‘plateau land’ – that is Knockrow and Newrybar – is extremely high and provides an ideal coffee growing environment. ‘I understand that this region is one of the fastest

The Visions of the Valley competition will be one of the key events of the Brunswick Valley Nature Festival to be held at the Shearwater Steiner School in Mullumbimby on Saturday June 3 to celebrate World Environment Day. The exhibition curator is well-known local goldsmith, sculptor and artist, Christina Khumari, who describes it as a wonderful opportunity for people to step forward and share their precious moments from a precious valley. ‘We

We have complete confidence in James Young – very professional. We were confident from the start that James would sell our house as he had been successful before. As far as I am concerned Byron Bay First National is the best agent in town and Angela was very helpful. What I liked in James was that he was very professional and not too pushy.

We would like to thank you sincerely for your involvement in the purchase of our new property and for your honesty, integrity and your good nature. We particularly appreciate the fact you were available on Australia Day to show me the house and were able to lobby on our behalf. Liz

Su Reynolds in particular, is dedicated, hard working and totally professional. So why deal with another agent…when you've found the best?

James Young Extremely happy with the communication during the entire process of selling my property I found Su Reynolds to be a total professional at all times. Su and the Byron Bay First National team always kept us up to date and I wouldn’t hesitate to deal through them again P Middleton

Join Tim at the Clarkes Beach picnic area at 1pm for a ‘walk & talk’ event to identify nasty invaders of the ora and fauna variety. Tim Low’s visit to Byron Bay will also celebrate the ecological restoration works carried out by the Green & Clean Awareness Team. The Team has just received their second grant from Rainforest Rescue’s ‘Looking After Byron’ Program and is using this funding to restore the dunes and littoral rainforest vegetation at Clarkes Beach. They are also now focused on removing weeds from the adjacent Dwarf Graminoid Clay Heath, a Threatened Ecological Community in NSW. ‘The Looking After Byron Program shows that tourism can have a positive impact,’

It also identiďŹ es stumbling blocks and barriers and begins to transform these into stepping stones and gateways to success. Theo Chang said that there are no quick ďŹ xes and the meaning of success is different for each person. ‘Without exception, every parent, sibling, partner, friend or relative wants their loved ones to be free from drug use. ‘This is often their deďŹ nition of success. FDS promises no such success or any quick ďŹ xes. Doing the course will not magically stop drug use or change the drug user. ‘FDS does not condone drug use but we do deal with the reality of dependent drug use. The reality is the drug user will change when they choose to. ‘However, this does not mean the families are help-

less. The course aims to help families deal with changes in a way that will invite positive results.’ The course works on ways of increasing people’s conďŹ dence and competence in managing drug issues. Better ways of communicating and increasing drug knowledge are just some of the ways of creating a healthier environment for change – for both the family and the user. ‘Connecting with the drug user does not mean losing yourself,’ adds Theo Chang. ‘The primary focus is for people to start to reclaim their lives and to see themselves as valuable individuals.’ Stepping Stones to Success runs over two consecutive weekends – June 3-4 & 10-11.

Can Costello win over the voters? Vol 20 #51

May 16, 2006

Saving Whites Cottage Whites Cottage is an historic beachside cottage on crown land, next to the Clarkes Beach caravan park, under the care of Byron Shire Council. Made of red cedar, it had fallen into disrepair but now has a brand new roof. Other than that, not much progress has been made on its restoration. The Department of Lands seems to have no interest in its heritage value at all. The ďŹ rst resolution to see the cottage restored and put into use as a public ‘multipurpose facility’ was made some two and a half years ago. Last September Cr John Lazarus called for a Council 355 committee to oversee the cottage. At that time Cr Peter Westheimer lost a motion to inform the relevant Minister of the cottage’s signiďŹ cance, and that may have been a mistake on Council’s part. It was only last week, more than seven months after Cr Lazarus’s notice of motion, that a staff report came to Councillors on the 355 committee. Only three members of the public had expressed an interest in it and staff recommended Council not establish the committee as the Department of Lands would not release crown reserve funds for the cottage’s restoration. Last week Cr Jan Mangleson got up a motion for a less formal working group to deal with the cottage, and that group will include the public applicants Hilary Kerr, Anthony McCabe, and Stuart Willows – who used to live in the cottage – along with Crs Mangleson, Lazarus and Staples. It’s a good step but doesn’t take us very far given the Department of Lands’ recalcitrance. Mayor Jan Barham recognised the sensitive nature of negotiations with the Arakwal over the cottage site. Obviously any ďŹ nal decisions will come within the ambit of an indigenous land use agreement (ILUA) but there is still a case for protecting the cottage in the interim. Cr Lazarus pointed out last September that there had been discussions with the Arakwal, BEACON, Byron Environment Centre, and Green & Clean have been revegetating dunes near the cottage. There is obviously a will to have good things happen. We are told an email from the Department states that Council should wait on an audit of its caravan parks before acting on the cottage. That’s a joke. The audit was conducted in February 2005 and Council has yet to see a report from the department. By now it’s out of date and useless. Council corporate services director Elisabeth Brown’s comment to Councillors that the Department of Lands wants to see the cottage considered as an ‘entry point’ to the caravan park – that is, a reception ofďŹ ce – speaks of empire-building among Council’s administration. Improving Council’s caravan parks (and proďŹ t levels) is a worthwhile activity but not at the expense of a heritage cottage which could be a valuable public building as well. If Councillors want to save Whites Cottage, the north coast ofďŹ ce of Lands needs to be bypassed and their will expressed to the Minister. Given her knowledge of the ILUA process, our mayor is in the best position to do so.

A

lthough he’s looking more cheerful these days, our beloved treasurer, Peter Costello, still has plenty to complain about: as John Howard is swanning it at a White House banquet, Costello is slumming it with a counter lunch at Broken Hill. His ostensible task is to sell the budget, which, according to the editorialists, should be no more difďŹ cult than catching ďŹ sh in a small pond with the aid of gelignite, but his real job is a bit harder: to sell himself to a still sceptical public. If the Sunday Telegraph’s odious columnist Piers Akerman is right (and given that he is on a permanent drip feed from Howard’s ofďŹ ce, this is a fair bet) the Lodge may ďŹ nally be within Costello’s reach; the Howards are actually considering moving out of Kirribilli House at the end of the year. But nothing is set in concrete, and Costello still needs to shore up support in the electorate to convince the doubters in the party room that he can save their seats. Hence the tedious journey to Broken Hill, among other places the dilettante Costello would really rather not be. And while convincing the punters that handing them money through tax cuts is a good idea may be simple enough, there will still be questions asked: like why, as usual, the big pay-outs went to the government’s rich mates with only the leftovers for the workers; why the roads and rail money amounted to little more than catch-up; why the child care stuff did nothing about reducing costs; why there was bugger all for health

and education; and what about petrol prices? Costello will no doubt be able to provide answers, of a kind; but he will be very reluctant to tell the whole truth, which is that he would really have preferred to hand out less rather than more, and that the great tax cut splurge is in fact a huge political gamble. But he had no real choice; when it turned out that Treasury had once again grossly underestimated the size of the budget surplus and that he had a lazy $22

He is much happier being seen, unusually, as Santa Claus, handing out the goodies with a beaming smirk‌ by Mungo MacCallum billion sloshing around in the piggy bank, he would have been eviscerated by the taxpayers if he had not given a substantial chunk of it back. So he did: $9 billion a year for each of the next four years in tax cuts, starting in just six weeks. The danger is that this will give the economy a boost at precisely the time the Reserve Bank is trying to slow it down. This was the point of the interest rate rise, to put the brakes on ination by giving people less money to spend. By doing the reverse, Costello (and of course Howard, although he won’t be talking about it) is effectively thumbing his nose at the Reserve bank, and all but inviting it to raise interest rates again. The Bank will be reluc-

go out and buy things – they have to; but the rich can sometimes be persuaded to invest or save their spare cash instead. And Costello has made saving much more attractive with his changes to superannuation. He could, of course, have taken the far more radical course proposed by his predecessor Paul Keating and shoved the whole lot into super instead of giving tax cuts, but that would have required far more courage than our indolent treasurer possesses. He is much happier being seen, unusually, as Santa Claus, handing out the goodies with a beaming smirk –although he cannot yet quite bring himself to say ‘ho ho ho’. That, presumably, will come later in the year.

And if, just if, he is in control of next year’s election budget as prime minister, then we’ll really see Christmas come early. If you think this budget was irresponsible and proigate, wait for it. You ain’t seen nothing yet.

U

nlike most of the commentators, I actually thought Kim Beazley’s budget reply speech was rather good: punchy, direct and relevant, with enough new policy to give it some genuine substance. But the general media reaction seems to have proved what Beazley’s supporters had feared: given the depths to which his support has sunk, it was too little and too late. The Murdoch press, predictably, was particularly scathing. But then, it wasn’t too happy with Costello either. In spite of a lowering of the top tax rate and a huge jump in the threshold at which it applies The Australian is still screaming for ‘real’ reform – abolition of the top two rates altogether to bring the highest marginal rate back to 30 percent. If Beazley proposed this The Australian would make him a hero; the problem is that he would probably be expelled from the Labor Party before he could capitalise on it. Oddly enough, Paul Keating suggested this policy (or something close it) to Mark Latham before the last election; Latham knocked it back. So did Costello. Perhaps only Keating would be mad enough to try it. But then, perhaps a bit of madness is what Beazley needs. Nothing else seems to work.

tant to do so, but the chances of another hike before the end of the year – perhaps just as Costello is ďŹ nally taking over from Howard – are now much higher than they were. From Costello’s point of view, this would be the worst possible result. It is worth noting that he has taken what precautions he can. By angling the cuts heavily towards the rich Costello has done his best to ensure that any consumer spending spree will be kept to a minimum. When the poor get extra money, they

Rent gouging Byron CBD retail tenants are being pushed to the wall by unaffordable rent increases. Typically, they’re being charged a thousand dollars a square metre per year for shop space. That works out around a hundred thousand a year for a medium-large store. This means a retailer is paying around $300 per day rent. Typically, a retailer needs to sell around $700 a day just to cover rent, plus another four hundred dollars a day to cover a couple of wages. And in winter, the ďŹ gures just don’t stack up. If that’s not bad enough, the rents are all pegged to 6% annual increase (with

CPI just 2%-3%). Six percent compounding over an average nine year lease, and the rent doubles. The more long term a tenant is, the more rent they pay. This is utterly unsustainable. And now with the War on Tourism, and retailing down 20%-50%, there are many good established businesses in Byron CBD facing bankruptcy. It’s going to be a long winter for many, with consequences for the entire community.

remain in the workforce albeit on reduced hours where necessary and for young people to seek employment to bolster the economy is well known. A reduction in unemployment numbers by any means possible is preferable to an increase in Newstart numbers. What hypocrisy then if an estimated one million employees are to be denied this super guarantee. Are we to assume that the 9% will be included in their wage? Given the bribery that occurred on budget night there is every chance that John Howard does not need this low paid group. Great pressure will need to be applied for this group of workers to retain their superannuation right. R J Martin

Offended Rusty Harris and Michael Balderstone’s version of the Australian flag, with a Nazi swastika replacing the Union Jack, may be deemed clever, but it is highly offensive (Backlash, May 9). The flag was also present at the antiRuddock protests in Lismore last November. This flag’s message is that Australia is a fascist or Nazi state. Despite new laws on terrorism, against workers’ rights and those on welfare etc, Australia remains a democratic country with rule of law and political and civil rights, including the

right to campaign against the government and vote them out. While I understand the sentiment this flag is trying to convey, that there has been an assault on our civil rights and liberties, this flag is simply provocative and sensationalist. It may also be counterproductive by alienating political allies by its offensive nature. The Nazi swastika is after all the ultimate symbol for mass murder and genocide. Julie Nathan

Our neighbours The first rule of national and personal defence is to look after one’s neighbour as well as one’s self. The East Timorese and Papuans knew this and aided our defence in World War II. Shamefully, we do not now look after either. The East Timorese standard of living is nothing like ours. They should have been given all the oil in the Arafura Sea. There are rumours that the West Papuans are subject to genocide. Their sustainable culture is being destroyed. Their sovereignty has been forcefully removed. Many flee their own country in terror. Thankfully we extend them sanctuary. There needs to be an exchange of permanent diplomatic missions between Australia and Indonesia so that Australia can investigate abuses of Papuans, and Indonesia can investigate

abuses of Australians and their refugee guests. In this way we might more clearly see the human rights abuses that we perpetrate and understand a little more of why Indonesia currently despises our position of providing sanctuary to West Papuans. The current standard of international relations is extremely infantile. The phrase, ‘in the national interest’ so often used by nations as they plunder others, is the equivalent at a family level of a father seeing to his own wellbeing at the expense of

for the riot that never came. They just walked in groups of five through a gentle smiling crowd. One thing their presence did ensure was there was much less drunkenness evident this year. There was a higher proportion of locals and fewer interstate yahoos. There was plenty of marijuana still available in both edible and smokeable form for those who knew where to find it. Joint rolling took place inside and not outside in the street, but it still took place. It would be interesting to know just how much this exercise in over-policing cost

the public purse. It was probably in the region of ten thousand dollars for each marijuana notice handed out, of which there appeared to be about twenty or so. The police minister will have to ask himself if this is a cost effective use of police time and taxpayers’ money. No doubt Ian Cohen will be asking him that question too. It will be interesting to see his answer. Next year, about six police officers will suffice, to give directions and to keep drunks under control. That would be appreciated.

Q The kids at school were lovely – I had spent the day teaching Indonesian. Dinner was delicious – an organic pea and pumpkin curry. And a nice cold beer – aaah! Switch on the telly. Jamie and Fenella’s movie reviews were excellent (c’mon SBS – give them another series). And that bloke on Spicks & Specks seems nice. Then I flicked on Dateline – great journalism, George – and was reminded of the ongoing, terrific problems in West Papua, our next door neighbour. Suddenly I felt less easy about the comforts I enjoy as a lucky Australian. Concern for the plight of the trapped miners seemed to galvanise a collective compassion in us. Does that compassion extend beyond our national border? Australia failed the people of East Timor for too long. I hope we don’t commit the same crime against the people of Papua.

The riot that never came Despite the very heavy police presence, the annual Nimbin Mardi Grass was still a success after all, even though the numbers were down by nearly half. This regrettably cost stallholders and the local business community hundreds of thousands of dollars. The warnings of a blitz kept away the pusillanimous but encouraged others, including us, to go to show our support for reform of these quaintly outdated laws. The police must have been amazed at how peaceful and friendly the crowd was but this is what marijuana does to people, unlike alcohol. The riot squad was waiting

the rest of his family, or, seeing to the wellbeing of his family at the expense of other families. For the father – sustenance now, misery in the future. The same with nations.

Trawler trashing Tricia Pontin (Letters, May 9) echoes my feelings exactly, although I have never walked a dog on the Brunswick beaches. But I’ve learned from my time in the US that money has the upper hand. Unlike dog walkers, commercial trawlers (who have the money) are allowed to kill tonnes of sea life within Cape Byron Marine Park. For prawn trawlers, 90% of their total catch isn’t even prawns. Trawling also uproots the fixed sea floor life, eliminating the nurseries needed for the fish to regenerate. The dead vegetation and animals often land in rotting drifts on the Belongil beaches, fouling them vastly more than the rarely seen dog faeces. The New Scientist (June 14, 1997 and May 16, 1998) states that Jeremy Collie (University of Rhode Island Graduate School of Oceanography) concludes that it was sea floor trawling after fishing that eliminated the cod nurseries and hence the huge cod fishery in the Northwest Atlantic. Regarding proper habitat management, Collie said, ‘I think Australia is out ahead of the rest of the world on this.’ Eight years later trawlers win the right to rape the marine sanctuary while diverting attention to the

Important issues I would like to raise two issues of importance: (1) On average, five Australians, predominantly men, suicide every day. More than the number of people dying due to injuries sustained from car accidents. National campaigns focus on the dangers of driving fatigued, drink driving and speeding. When will we see the ‘Save Our Sons’ or ‘Stop Our Suicides’ campaign (as recently proposed on ABC radio)? Until federal and state funding is improved, it is largely up to us to help those suffering on the margins of our community. Many deaths can be prevented. We can provide greater support to those suffering from relationship breakdowns and health problems including clinical depression, post traumatic stress disorder, other disorders/diseases and alcohol/other drug addictions. I encourage anyone in despair to share their thoughts with someone they trust: be it family, friend or professional. Open discussion can reduce the stigma associcontinued on page 14

Our mental health shambles Alex McAuley Images of Victorian insane asylums and classic movies like One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest are stark reminders to everyone of how inhumane psychiatric institutions were in the not so distant past. It was not surprising, therefore, that about 15 years ago governments made the decision to close down all such facilities in favour of more humane ‘community based’ psychiatric care. This is an excellent concept in theory; in practice, however, it has turned into something that has been described as ‘Australia’s mental health shambles’. Dr Paul Morgan, Deputy Director of SANE Australia, an independent national charity helping people with mental illness, explained that lack of funding causes the bulk of the problems. ‘Recently, there was a world wide realisation that there was no longer any need for mental institutions, that the vast majority of people suffering mental illness can be treated within the community with medication and counselling,’ said Dr Morgan. ‘Unfortunately, because the project was not funded adequately, many people fell through the cracks. Most of those people have ended up homeless and a large number of them will end up in the prison system. Essentially what has happened is that these people have been reinstitutionalised by stealth.’ Dr Morgan claims that funding will continue to be a major stumbling block while federal and state governments refuse to recognise the extent of the problem.

Up to the states ‘The commonwealth government has pledged $1.8 billion over the next ďŹ ve years for mental health which is only a 12% increase, and that doesn’t include CPI. It is really up to the state governments which run on-the-ground mental health services to come to the party. Until both tiers of government can work together we will not be able to create a civilised mental health system in this country.’ Anecdotal evidence suggests that psychiatric illness in Australia is on the rise, but Dr Morgan was cautious about the accuracy of such ďŹ gures, saying that the normalisation of mental health issues has made those suffering from them more willing to talk about it. ‘In the broad sense of the term mental illness which includes depression and anxiety, there is a growing awareness that these are common problems and people are less likely to suppress them or turn

to drugs or alcohol,’ he said. As a result, there are many more reported cases of mental illness than in the past. An interview with Australian Medical Association President Dr Mukesh Haikerwal at the end of 2004 highlighted Dr Morgan’s observations. Dr Haikerwal said that Australia’s poor response to people living with mental illness has resulted in very limited access to services and a greater demand on already stretched emergency departments and services for homeless people. He said that the disease burden from psychiatric illness in Australia is underestimated and too many people with mental illness are denied access to a hospital bed in times of crisis. ‘Dollars saved from closing mental health institutions and acute beds in hospitals have not been redirected to community based care as promised, and vulnerable Australians are paying the price,’ said Dr Haikerwal.

mentally ill cry out about the lack of support for their loved ones. Mental health workers, nurses, general practitioners and allied health workers declare their frustration with a system that ignores the plight and fate of those they are meant to treat. Further, the report states that because they cannot obtain timely and appropriate treatment, increasing numbers of people with mental illness end up being criminalised and jailed. In the meantime, they can pose a danger not only to themselves but also their families and others. It also discussed the high level of homelessness among the mentally ill. Dr Morgan is concerned that these problems will increase as the impact of the use of serious mind altering substances becomes more widely recognised. Marijuana use, for example, was not considered to have long term side effects until relatively recently. ‘Genetic research Community care has shown that 20% of peo‘We need more beds and ple are vulnerable to developbetter community based ing schizophrenia as a result care.

We are also funding a Housing Support Initiative involving non government organisations as well as health and housing departments and expect to have 700 people living in that program by the end of the year.’ Any such programs are welcome and necessary, however this would appear to be only the tip of the iceberg. As Dr Morgan so eloquently put it, ‘Governments, both state and commonwealth, need to look further ahead than their short electoral cycles’.

I am a ďŹ rst time writer to The Echo, and am writing on behalf of my parents and a neighbour – at least, as a world citizen, I see them as my neighbours. Over the last ten years, the landlocked country of Malawi in Southern Africa has struggled under successive seasons of drought followed by a season of ood. This year, the ďŹ rst year in ten, the country has seen a successful harvest. A bounty for some, it means starvation for many. Malawi is one of the poorest countries in the world, and has no infrastructure for food distribution. Those in the south have no money to buy food from those in the north, and no means to

transport it. The successful harvest in the north means the country will see far less food aid this year, regardless that the success of the north will have little impact on those in the south. My parents are preparing to y to Malawi again on May 17 with as much money as possible to feed the starving and to build a school. They will hire trucks, buy maize in the north of the country, hire armed guards to help them get the maize safely to the south, and oversee distribution of it. Over the last four years they have raised $100,000 and flown to Africa to ensure every dollar raised is spent on food, not on

administration fees or pilfered by corrupt ofďŹ cials. I am writing to ask any and all for help, at whatever level you can. A $20 donation will feed a family of four for a month, so for a seemingly small amount of money, you can save a family from starvation. Of course larger amounts will save more people. My parents are Christians, so if you are as well, know there are no better Christians on earth than these. If you are not, as admittedly I am not, know that every cent you donate will be taken to Malawi by my parents to go towards feeding the starving, and

giving hundreds of displaced and orphaned children a home and school. No commissions, no administration fees, everything goes directly to the neediest of the people of southern Malawi.

side effects and I have been able to come home to my kids with a new outlook on life. I just wish Dr Smee could see that if we had at least one Cyberknife machine here in Australia that it could assist so many other people like it has me. This would be a tool that could work in conjunction with other treatments, stereotatic, brachy, chemo etc and make the journey of a cancer sufferer a lot more tolerable and give us options and hope. Oklahoma City has a population of half of Sydney but has one Cyberknife, two Gamma Knifes, Brachy, Chemo, other stereotatic and radiation devices so patients feel conďŹ dent of a successful treatment. My husband spoke to many patients waiting and they were successfully being treated for brain, lung, spine, prostate, breast, artery, eye cancers and more. My husband also got a call from a lady whose seven year old boy has a tumour which can‘t be treated here so she is looking at Cyberknife as it has successfully treated pediatric cases, but the cost of going to USA for treatment may prohibit this, along with his ability to undertake a long ight with the pressure on the brain. I don’t understand why doctors feel they have to defend inadequacies in treatment options here. I would have thought they would be lobbying for anything that can make their life and more importantly their patients‘ lives a lot better.

Vital surgery I have just got back from Oklahoma where I was treated by the Cyberknife as mentioned in The Echo a couple of weeks ago. Upon my return I read The Echo and saw a reply to my plight by a doctor claiming Cyberknife is available here in Australia. The generic technology is available here and is called Stereotatic. Although this is great to have in Australia it is not as efficient as other treatments. I had approached many hospitals in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne with current MRIs and CTs and was instructed by all that they could do nothing. This is the second time this has happened and instead of planning for my demise we (my husband and I) looked for options. We all need options when faced with a life threatening disease, something doctors could take note of. The ďŹ rst time I had eight brain tumours and so had to go to San Diego for Gamma Knife treatment. Nearly two years on and no recurrence. This time I had four brain tumours, one behind the eye and four liver. Noone could assist here so we had to again look further aďŹ eld. This time to Oklahoma for Cyberknife. What an experience. The doctors were so positive from the start. I had sent them my scans earlier and they were very supportive from the start. They have treated all of my tumours, without surgery or

Council Roundup with Michael McDonald

Planning gets fuzzy round the edges

P

lanning for Byron Shire in particular and the north coast in general looked a little fuzzy around the edges last week as councillors grappled with the issues brought up by their planning meeting agenda. After the spectre – or vision, depending on your philosophy – of beach skimming at New Brighton was got out of the way (for which see news pages), councillors came to grips with development at Skinners Shoot. How ad hoc has it become in recent years while the rural residential strategy waits to be reviewed, how much do approvals by staff under delegated authority make for dangerous precedent? The proposal which prompted these questions was from longtime locals and popular stalwarts of the community, Jan and Clint Dawkins. On a four hectare lot they want to develop a health farm (considered as a ‘recreational establishment’) comprising six cabins, a swimming pool and yoga studio, among other things, to cater for those recovering from cancer and utilising the local network of therapeutic services. The staff recommended refusal on the grounds of traffic impact, insufficient sewage disposal options and not enough evidence on the possibility of contaminated land. After considerable debate, councillors voted 9-1 deferring it to the next meeting of Council with staff to draft up a report on necessary conditions of consent, the Dawkins’s planner Chris Lonergan having advised councillors the problems could be overcome. You could see some of the councillors concentrating on the merits of the applicants rather than of their proposal; only Mayor Jan Barham stuck to her guns, opting for refusal and taking staff to task for other approvals allowed along the narrow Skinners Shoot Road. Cr Barham also put up a

Cr Agnes Agenda wears protective headgear to read a draft LEP.

motion calling for a report on ‘previous approvals on Skinners Shoot Road since refusal of the development application for five tourist cabins refused at Council’s Environmental Planning and Local Approvals Committee Meeting of 20 August 2002’. The vote was tied 5-5 – Crs Tucker, Woods, Mangleson, Tardif and Kestle against – and the mayor used her casting vote to get it across the line.

O

n the way to these votes we learnt there were holes in terms of deďŹ nitions in Council’s planning documents. While the proposal was looked at by staff in terms of a rural tourist facility it does not attract the same constraints because it is a ‘health farm’; if it were an actual rural tourist facility the land it was on needed to be at least 20ha. As it is, the constraints on a rural tourist facility depend on what the conditions of consent allow (and how lawyers argue about them), as seen by the long-running controversy over Mevlana’s activities. The problem for councillors is that a few metres down the road, according to Cr Lazarus, a garden centre with a cafĂŠ was recently approved by staff under delegated authority, hence Cr Barham’s call for a look at the approval history along the road. One would think the Dawkins would have a reasonable argument in the Land & Environment Court of prec-

edent being set if their DA is knocked back, in which case the Skinners Shoot area could be up for more developments than originally anticipated. Barham and Cr Ross Tucker differed as to how much staff should be trusted with delegated authority. ‘I don’t see this as a system failure,’ Cr Tucker said on the mayor’s motion to look at previous approvals. ‘Every time you make a decision [on the individual merits of a DA] you’re in danger of being inconsistent. ‘This takes staff away from their central job and could be used potentially as a witch hunt. What you’re questioning is delegation.’ To which Cr Barham responded, ‘Inconsistencies create a potential liability for Council. I’d like to know with conďŹ dence that if we ďŹ nd mistakes, we learn from them.’

U

nless councillors are totally supine, there will always be conict over the results delegated authority brings. Under the provisions of the Local Government Act 1993, a council general manager pretty much runs his/her own separate ďŹ efdom, with all the problems that that kind of enculturation can cause. Staff are meant to carry out councillors’ resolutions but don’t have time to get to all of them and in any case have their own ideas about what’s best for the

Shire. The use of delegated authority in the past certainly has set awkward precedent, either through slack conditions of consent or ignorance of history by new planning staff: for example, the approval of dwellings within a buffer zone. A bigger problem lies with the slackness of Council’s planning documents. In order to overcome this in the new draft LEP for Byron Bay and surrounds, planning staff managed to rack up $95,000 worth of legal advice in its preparation, much to the surprise of councillors, and no doubt to the ratepayers footing the bill. This advice remains a mystery to the general public, as it remains conďŹ dential. As does advice on the advice, which Cr Tucker reckons wasn’t really advice on the advice, from lawyer John Marsden, which cost $3,500, thanks very much. This led councillors to vote unanimously to ‘seek justiďŹ cation from Marsdens Solicitors for the fees charged for the advice given about the Draft LEP for the Byron Bay area dated 20 April 2006’. But wait, there’s more: the state government, the always unpredictable y in the planning ointment, is reforming the planning system, and it appears there is not much emphasis on ecologically sustainable development (ESD) in the new philosophy, according to Council’s planning director Ray Darney. You can read the Deaprtment of Planning’s view online at www.planning.nsw. gov.au/planning_reforms/ index.asp. We might learn what planning minister Frank Sartor is committed to when he gets round to determining the Becton DA. In the meantime, as the late famous American restaurateur Betty Talmadge, former wife of Senator Herman Talmadge, once said (appropriated by the late famous John Lennon): ‘Life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans.’

Love of cars drives Ben to success at TAFE Mullumbimby High School student Ben Robbins loves cars, and it was this passion that took him along a vocational pathway that led him to a major award and new career opportunities. Ben started at Mullum– bimby High School in year 7, and in year 10 he talked to the school’s careers adviser Marie Broad and indicated that as he enjoyed working on cars he wanted to study the TVET (TAFE delivered Vocational Educational Training) course in

Automotive – Vehicle Servicing. Marie saw that it was a good choice and approved him to undertake the course as a subject in his Year 11 program. As the course was held at Murwillumbah TAFE campus Ben had a fair bit of travel to contend with, but it didn’t faze him. ‘I had to get a bus from Mullumbimby High each Monday to attend classes from 2 pm to 6 pm, and didn’t get home until 7pm – made it a very long day!’ says Ben.

However, Ben enjoyed the course so much he decided to continue with automotive while in year 12. Ben says that although he had many courses to select from and his friends chose other courses, he stayed with Automotive as it was the area he was interested in. ‘What I enjoyed most was learning so much really interesting stuff,’ Ben said. ‘The teachers were great and really very helpful – I’d recommend anyone interested in working on cars to do this course.’

As a result of his hard work he was awarded the TVET Student of the Year award for 2005 at the recent Student Excellence Awards staged by TAFE NSW-North Coast Institute’s Kingscliff and Murwillumbah campuses. This was a major achievement because there were over 500 TVET students enrolled at these campuses in 2005. Ben is now looking at wider horizons and seeking a traineeship or apprenticeship as a fitter and turner or welder/boilermaker.

A futurist in paradox Michael McDonald Futurist, journalist and raconteur Richard Neville will be giving the keynote speech at the Echo awards night – The Jasons – in early June. He seemed the obvious choice, given his long association with radical, independent media. For those not familiar with Richard’s pedigree, it runs back to editing the satirical Oz magazine in the 1960s, which resulted in a famous trial for obscenity. In 1971 he published the book Playpower, a venture into forecasting the future and an analysis of youth culture. In New York in 1977, Richard was commissioned to write a book about serial killer Charles Sobhraj, who preyed upon Western backpackers. The resulting biography (co-authored by Julie Clarke) was a global best seller. In the 80s, Richard returned to Australia and joined Channel 9’s popular Midday Show as a sort of resident counterculture commentator. In the 90s he published his 60s memoir, Hippie Hippie Shake, as well as co-launching the Australian Futures Foundation (www.futuresfoundation.org.au). You can ďŹ nd out a lot more about Richard at his website www.richardneville.com. Richard’s latest venture into mainstream notoriety came about when he put online a spoof message from PM John Howard apologising for his government’s record. Within hours the site was investigated by Australian Federal Police and the PM’s ofďŹ ce ordered Richard’s internet service provider to take down the site. ‘I was surprised at the rapidity with which they heavied Melbourne IT,’ says Richard. ‘They were later told there was no criminal activity involved and I’ve never found out on what grounds it was closed. ‘I was more surprised at the lack of interest from the mainstream press. If the government had closed a printing press there would be outcry but journos just saw it as a weird blog from an old hippie. ‘Even George Bush couldn’t close down whitehouse.org.’ The spoof message can be read on Richard’s website. It is all part of Richard’s interest in freedom of speech, the theme of his address at The Jasons. ‘I’m concerned about antiterrorism laws and secret trials,’ he says. ‘Freedom of speech is being compromised. The reaction to my John Howard page is an indicator.

‘And whatever you think of [journalist] John Pilger, he is effectively banned in Australia. When he says in the New Statesman that death squads in Iraq are organised and paid for by the CIA, it’s an interesting observation, but it won’t get published here. ‘We suffer badly under Newscorp. In his newspapers at least, Murdoch pretty much has a choir singing with one voice, and Fairfax doesn’t have a lot of derringdo. ‘There is also a lot of unconscious censorship. Some journalists don’t give a shit. ‘It’s like the example of Plato’s cave – people watch the ickerings on the cave wall and mistake it for real life. Just reading and watching mainstream media is watching the ickerings. We need more alternative media.’ And what future does Richard see for independent media? ‘I think it’s online. You can’t ignore those blogs. It seems it’s moving from textbased to visual media. If you look at www.youtube.com, for example, it’s not political but people are making political videos and you can download them from there. ‘There is a huge diversiďŹ cation but on the other hand most people don’t have time to escape the cave, they’re weighed down by workaholia and the mortgage.’ Richard describes himself as a futurist because he says it is a better title than ‘consultant’. Is a futurist by deďŹ nition an optimist? ‘Both optimist and pessi-

mist,’ he replies. ‘You’d be a fool not to be pessimistic intellectually, but emotionally I’m an optimist. ‘It’s better to think ahead than be trapped in history. There are reasons to be cheerful. But when you know that China is developing the world’s ďŹ rsy eco-city and at the same time is the world’s second biggest polluter – how do you react to stuff like that? ‘It’s paradox – you have to live in that paradox.’ Richard is also qualiďŹ ed to talk about the paradox of human nature, having delved into its dark side via the serial killer Charles Sobhraj. ‘In the end I concluded he was a psychopath,’ says Richard. ‘When I look at some political leaders, I can see it in them, and in leaders of corporations. They’re intelligent and charming but have an inability to see the suffering of their victims.’ But in the end Richard seems to come down on the side of optimism. Even though the executives he talks to as a futurist sometimes ďŹ nd themselves trapped in an unethical corporation, ‘at the same time they’ve got children. Everyone with a TV is seeing glaciers melting, you can’t hide that stuff. ‘Everyone’s connected, noone can escape. ‘You have to be engaging the future. The future’s not what it used to be, it’s coming faster and you have to deal with the acceleration.’ Q The Jasons are on Saturday June 3 at the Bangalow A&I Hall. There are only a few tickets left.

1. Will Smith and Kevin Kline star in Wild Wild West (NBN, Saturday, 7.30pm), a mildly amusing comedy. True fans will wait up for A Fistful Of Dollars (Prime, Saturday, 11.35pm). 2. Julia Stiles and Jason Lee romp in A Guy Thing (Prime, Sunday, 8.30pm), panned by the critics but liked by the punters. 3. For those of a more apocalyptic bent, there’s big Arnie and Gabriel Byrne in End Of Days (NBN, Sunday, 10.30pm). You gotta admit, the Catholic guilt vision makes for good SFX. There’s enough cheese to drown a cow in the Eurovision Song Contest Final (SBS, Sunday, 7.30pm). As the ABC’s production budget looks more and more like an anorexic supermodel, we’re left with Clive Robertson on Tuesday night.

Catholic Schools’ Week & Performance Catholic Schools’ Week is a celebration of outstanding education and achievements and will commence on Monday May 22. All schools will have various activities including open days, and importantly the week also signiĂ€es the enrolment period for 2007. The Catholic schools of the Northern Region are presenting a Schools’ Spectacular Performance at Central Park, Salt on Tuesday May 23 from 6pm to 8pm. Five hundred students from all Catholic schools from Byron Bay through to the Tweed, will perform, showcasing the talents and skills of students. There will be jazz bands, combined choirs, drama, dance, soloists, combined bands, choral speaking and much more. Bring a blanket and enjoy a fantastic evening of free family entertainment. Refreshments will also be available from the outlets at Salt. The theme of the performance and of the week is ‘Generation to Generation’ which highlights the signiĂ€cant contribution that Catholic education provides. In the Lismore Diocese alone (Tweed Heads in the north to Laurieton in the South) some 16,000 students are educated in Catholic schools. For details regarding enrolments or open days contact your local Catholic school for further information.

There is an active Parish School Forum where parents have a dynamic involvement in school life. This ensures an annual build up of resources in library, classroom resources, computers, sports equipment as well as assistance in the classroom and school activities.

St John’s Primary School A great feature of the education process at St John’s Primary School is

Mt St Patrick College

Mt St Patrick Primary School

the involvement of parents in all aspects of school – as classroom helpers, in the canteen and with fundraising. Quality learning can also occur because classes are small, particularly from Kindergarten to Year 2. St John’s is also mindful of the startling obesity statistics and to this end, pupils are exposed to a large variety of sports, including gymnastics with qualiĂ€ed instructors, PE each day and a healthy canteen. A ‘fruit break’ is also part of daily procedure – St John’s is known as a ‘tootie fruttie vege’ school. St John’s has recently undergone extensive refurbishment and now boasts a new administration building with computer network access. For further information phone 6684 2386.

D'Ari from Nine Mile

S

go back later...'

Since Bob Marley found his way on the planet, people have had a love affair with the grassroots charm of roots music. The spirit of independence, of connectedness and working outside the mainframe, it's gathered momentum around the globe with a rich scene here in Australia, reected by a sister scene in places like Canada. Hailing from such a cold place, Nine Mile make warm music that dissolves the lines that separate genres by melding rock, funk, Caribbean and folk inuences, to create their very original groove-oriented performance.

we were driving from Kingston to Negril and stopped off at Nine Mile. We just stopped to grab a beer and food and we were literally sitting there at the side of the road at the birthplace of Bob Marley and we said we should go back and set up a band...and we got back from the trip and spent some time in the basement of a house in the country just playing and there were no plans really except gigging around our home area...it was a laid back thing. Over the years it became more serious for us and some of the people that started the band have moved on to other projects. It’s been a constant evolution.'

I caught up with vocalist and acoustic guitarist D'Ari on the ďŹ nal leg of their Aussie tour to ďŹ nd out where it all started.

Nine Mile have just released a new EP, titled the Almanac, recorded in true organic style

Nine Mile have found themselves deep in the heart of the Aussie roots scene. Playing with Cat Empire for their Toronto shows, and touring with Pete Murray and Xavier Rudd.

'The spirit of our recordings are somewhat based on the spirit of the live show. Generally we all play together, a studio record is a little more thought out than that. The EP is very simple and maybe we'll

'It's been a sort of a uke really, our involvement in the scene was a uke. Some friends of ours in the Jack Jonson camp introduced us to the Beautiful Girls and I called them. It happened to be on the day

'We started in 2001 with a very different band. Initially a bunch of friends from my hometown. We were in Jamacia in 1999 for the year 2000 celebrations and

So has performing and living as a musician become the dream? Is life fantastic? 'I think it becomes more of a fantastic thing when you don't have a job on the side. On a lot of the original touring, there was so much oor crashing at people's houses, and now, we have such great friends all around the world we can't stay in the hotels we are booked into because they want us to come and crash on their oor.'

that an opener, Mason Jennings who was supposed to support their tour cancelled 5 minutes before. One phone call and we're on a tour. Through them I met Xavier Rudd's manager and they rang and asked if Xavier could borrow our van to get to Philadelphia – and it has built from there.' The independents in the music industry are thriving at the moment – based on the integrity of their music and their ability to call on each other for support. It's something that is vital to the survival and growth of this grassroots movement. Who needs a publicist when you have people? 'It's a great thing – it's the kind of situation where Xav's manager could call and ask for anything and it would likely get done. If your friends asked you to drive and drop a van off you'd be like, no...but within our world, it’s something that you would do. What's happening is really a beautiful thing.'

This beautiful thing is happening all over the world, and according to D'Ari, us Aussies might have the whole networking and all getting in there and helping your muso mates along a little more together than even his Canadian comrades. 'I would say that Australia is a little bit more advanced, I feel that it might be a little bit more competitive in the music scene in Canada...' The Roots scene has found its footing in the popularity of festivals. 'Festivals feed that sense of community because everyone is hanging out together – and to me that's what this is all about – those are the most precious moments out here – as a musician and as a music fan – that's right at the top of the heap – that's the ultimate – being pushed into a zone that 's outside of what is comfortable.' Nine Mile play the Hotel Great Northern this Wednesday.

THESOAPBOX with Mandy Nolan

In Malaysia, the milky Mums are getting together and staging a mass action. In an effort to promote breastfeeding above formula options the girls will be lifting their shirts and pressing flesh to gum in what they are hoping is the biggest titty action in the world. Over 2000 mums. And yes, over 2000 ravenous, suckling, opiated babes. Jesus, I reckon we could beat that here on the North Coast. We could do a lactating line up that stretched from Ocean Shores to Lismore and back again. I adored breastfeeding. In fact I did it for nine years and that was before I even had any kids. The bonding, the convenience, the health, and of course the shock value once the child starts approaching school age all makes the whole breastfeeding thing, totally, dare I say, tit-illating. I fed two of my kids until they were three. It's not so bad that they have teeth, I don't mind the odd nibble, the freaky

Hey big Splendour!!

Last year the tickets to Splendour in the Grass sold out in just one hour. Now this wasn't just heaps of eager punters getting on line, this was heaps of ticket scalpers, getting in early and making a short term investment, knowing there'd be hundreds of disgruntled festival goers who'd missed out and would pay double or even triple the original price. This phenomenon isn't new. It's something that has affected every major festival in the world. After 12 months of planning, the festival organisers have made significant changes to their ticketing system, to ensure the integrity of their festival and that the people who enjoy Splendour, do so at a regular ticket cost, not at the benefit to some E-bay profiteer. So you know the changes, here they are. And remember Splendour in the Grass is July 22 & 23. Change One: Tickets can only be bought online or through the official phone sales centre. Log on to www. splendourinthegrass.com or phone 1300 762 545. Change Two: No more day passes. Only weekend passes are available. Camping tix are available but strictly limited. Change Three: All ticket holder's names and dates of birth must be supplied at the time of purchase. If you haven't been born yet, then you can't go. There is also a limit of 10 tix per transaction.

thing was that they had language. I'd be in Woolies and suddenly I'd hear 'Hey Mummy, put that Omo down and give me some titty.' (Yes, and sometimes that was the staff). I had even managed to perfect a unique shopping style, with child in the trolley's baby seat, breast lodged in infant's mouth, and hands still managing to snatch required products from shelves. The bigger the tit, the greater the shelf reach. Breastfeeding in Woolies had some real advantages. Even when the trolley was full, you could still take the Express lane. Nothing quite prepares you for the day your milk comes in. I went to bed a normal girl, and woke up with a chest like Pamela Anderson. Giant rock hard mounds. I called it leaky Baywatch. Those first couple of weeks really take some serious mammary management. If the baby unlatched unexpectedly I could take out an eye at a hundred paces. An attractive frock could be sodden in moments, and while the newly found cleavage was something of a novelty, there was a constant aroma of milk and vomit. I remember the breastfeeding years as constantly having either tit exposed. In fact, I was so used to it, I often forgot to pack it away once the baby was finished. One of my girlfriends once had to say at a cafe: 'Mandy, maybe you should put your tit away now. Your kid's been at pre-school for 3 hours'. It wasn't just the feeding, it was the soothing element. You don't need rescue remedy when you've got titty.

Change Four: Your name and date of birth will be printed onto the ticket. To gain entry to the festival, you will have to show valid photo ID with the same name and date of birth as your ticket. Change Five: Only people with three inches, no more or less, of visible underwear will be permitted onto the Festival site. Change Six: Anyone over thirty will be directed to Mullumbimby. Change Seven: I just made up those last two changes, but boy it was fun!

I once stopped to help a bloke who'd fallen over. 'You right mate? Like a bit of titty?' He calmed right down. Once women could only breastfeed in the privacy of their own homes, or in stinky old Mother's rooms. Most of us still remember ex-magistrate Pat Caldwell banning a breastfeeding Mum from his court. (You can always tell the bottle-fed boys.) There's a bit of an etiquette with public breastfeeding. As a lactator, you're either a shirt up or shirt open kind of girl. Personally I never had the abs for shirt up, so I've gone for the shirt open option every time. Once the bosom is exposed, there's this moment before the latch where the breast is on show. I used to love catching the peripheral perves of blokes who couldn't help but have a quick squizz. You never want to get caught checking out the nawks on a nursing Mum, so if you insist on going for a perve, I suggest you make it damn quick. It's the same as drooling over someone else's lunch. Breastmilk – it's the last untapped resource – lactose free, great for brain development and something we humans actually produce ourselves. For too long we've been oppressing our bovine friends. How would we feel if cows used our milk for their coffees?? We're sitting on a goldmine ladies – or at best lying on it from time to time. Let's open the first cafe in Australia that serves a tittachinno, a double shot Nipplé, or a Café Lacté.

Ceremony – an event that brings everyone together to honour the custodians, clan groups, ancestral creators and visitors from 160 clans across the world. Women dance up the sand circle, cleansing and welcoming and the men break the silence with their stomps, bearing witness to ancestral spirits. Dance is a major component of the Festival, and celebrates the powerful artform that is really the heart and voice of many Indigenous cultures. From the tradition of Mornington Island Dancers to the contemporary interpetations of The

Movement Hip Hop Crew, the Dance program is incredibly comprehensive. Yothu Yindi plays, as does Jimmy Little and also, Bundjalung man,Troy Cassar-Daly. With many Golden Guitars under his belt he is one of the country's most talented and successful artists. With forums and talks along with beautiful artwork in the many on site galleries, this is a festival that every Australian should find themselves at. The Queen's Birthday weekend – June 9-12. Why not camp out with the family! www.thedreamingfestival. com

Dreaming a little Dream of You Last year I participated in the Dreaming Festival. It was a spectacularly humbling honour. Graced with the task of teaching indigenous performers the gentle art of stand up comedy so they could perform at the festival, it was a challenging and rewarding involvement. Rhoda Roberts is the artistic director of the second The Dreaming – Australia's International Indigenous Festival. The Festival showcases Indigenous theatre, art, comedy, spoken word, music, song, poetry, dance, community, street theatre and more. It is a full immersion into the spirit of place. It's political, passionate, challenging, inclusive and very very moving. This year's festival feature's another diverse program, starting with the Opening

THE JAZZ SINGER With the North Coast Jazz Festival fast approaching, it's time to get in the mood. The Queen's Birthday long weekend offers a jazz-tronomical range of delights, and to tempt the musical palate, the Northern Rivers Conservatorium is presenting a preview Concert on Sunday 28 May at the Bangalow A&I Hall. This gig features the talents of Coolangubra and Mr Percival. The name should stir a memory in many people around the country, as they

Coolangubra Bangalow Jazz Festival A&I Hall Sunday 28 May were at the heart of a ďŹ ght to save our natural heritage from the pressures of old-growth logging and industry. Coolangubra represents expressive and sublime music. Music that extols the heart, rich in emotive power and able to evoke landscapes and country from which these musicians take their inspiration. With Cleis Pearce on violin, Greg Sheehan on percussion, and Steve Berry on guitar, Coolangubra is an acoustic instrumental trio that explores a style entirely its own. Cleis is one of the country's ďŹ nest melodic improvisers, and can keep an audience in raptures with her depth of expression, tone, and facility on the violin and viola. Greg Sheehan is a master of rhythm and percussive ingenuity. He can make a tambourine sound like a drum kit, and a drum kit sound like a thousand drummers. Steve Berry is a powerful acoustic guitarist, with a rhythmic feel that draws on his award winning prowess in at-picking bluegrass guitar. Together, Coolangubra are a tight and experienced ensemble, with 16 years of history as a trio. They are joined by Mr Percival, a man who has been called more than a singer, he's been called a Vocalite. Sunday 28 May Bangalow A & I Hall, with doors open 5pm for Show at 5.30pm. Tickets $15/$10 at the door only.

JAZZ FESTIVAL TICKETING

If you're considering getting your tickets, I suggest you commit right now.

Tickets are on sale through the website of the Northern Rivers Conservatorium Lismore, Barebones Bangalow

see your face again..no way get fcked fck off' (I actually think the audience added that bit. Rick and John Brewster (along with Doc Neeson), were the nucleus of the legendary Angels. A couple of years ago they started a new project performing acoustically as The Brewster Brothers. Using Harry Vanda’s Sydney recording studio, the brothers have worked up an original repertoire of ďŹ nely crafted songs with an acoustic and melodic avour. The songs are reminiscent to many of Pink Floyd and Dire Straights classic work. A CD of the project, ‘Shadows Fall’ has just been released. The guy's showcase tracks off the new album and maybe even some older Angels numbers. They play The Beach Hotel on Sunday.

SEEING RED The Red Paintings put the E in eccentric. Last time they were on tour they were joined by a statue of the Virgin Mary. In fact she's one of their biggest fans and seems to come to every gig. This time, former Geelong concept artist, Trash McSweeney has his wicked way with robots. Apparently crowd members are encouraged to bring their robots and then they will be destroyed at the show. Thats why it's called the 'Destroy the Robots Theme show'. Don't ask me why. I'm too old to have a robot. The only thing I could bring to the gig is my vibrator and if they destroyed that I'd kill ‘em. It's kookier than a conversation with Andy Warhol and almost as entertaining. The Red Paintings – at the Hotel Great Northern on Saturday. GETTING PRAGMATIC The Mighty Pragmatics make their glorious funk at the Soundlounge in Currumbin this week. This 10 piece soul collective are united in their desire to change the world through music. They are fronted by Sioban Robinson and Sal Yates and were the stand out crowd favourites at Brisbane's recent Groove and Grape Festival. Was that Grape, or Grope I wonder... Powerful and energetic. This will get your chakras shimmering. Friday. FULL OF FRUIT Michael Chugg says of the band 'to me, Fruit are one of Australia's best kept secrets, their energy and songs never fail to capture audiences, whether playing to 20 000 or 1000 and they are already one of our hardest working exports.' This power trio bring their soulful, harmonydriven, horn-laden sounds to Bangalow Catholic Hall Saturday 27 May. This past

and Stevie Wonder, Fruit’s music has been described as 'sensitive, embracing and disarming'. Tickets are $20 and available at the door only!

Once again the singers from 6 local choirs will gather to delight you with their harmonies at the Bangalow Catholic Hall, on Saturday starting at 7.30pm. The concert will feature the wonderful Isabella Acappella from Lismore, the all male choir from the Tweed, Ancestral Tones, as well as perennial favourites like Allegro gone Troppo. These nights always leave audiences and singers feeling joyful, and all proceeds from food sold will go to the Peru project, to help vulnerable women and children in Lima. Peruvian handcrafts made by these women will also be on sale. Tickets at the door, $12 and $10 conc, kids free.

A SPICEY VISTA The Old Spice Boys, Azo, Tim and Billy, are set for a big adventure at this year's Edinburgh Festival, but not before they wow 'em this Sunday at the Vista with their humorous, funky, mind-blowing songs and musical antics. A proud ďŹ rst for the BVSC. Songbird and Vista favourite Sara Tindley is back with her smart lyrics, catchy tunes, bouncy-beat guitar style and super-easy-listening vocals. Azo will accompany her on a couple of songs ... a double treat! Murray Kyle and Rebecca from the Blissmongers debut this week ... much-travelled and artistically-conscious Murray's lyrics invite the birth of a new awareness as we move through these changing times. More newcomers to the BVSC this time with Danni Bear, acoustic soul singer, Michael Downs with his 'songs of becoming'

COMEDY FINDING YOUR G-SPOT That's your giggle spot silly. And I know exactly where it is and how to ďŹ nd it. It's in that hard to reach space just behind 'regret', next to 'loneliness' and just up from 'shame'. I think you'll ďŹ nd it's quite a relief! Being a stand up comedian is tough. Being a female stand up comedian is even tougher. There are very few women stand up comedians, and that's not because girls ain't funny, but more because of the vigorous culture of comedy. To be a stand up comedian you really have to be prepared to laugh at yourself, to set yourself up as the centre of attention, and then poke fun at all those imperfections, mistakes and vulnerabilities that you spend most of your daily life trying to cover up. Socially, women exist in a culture that encourages perfection and most women are reluctant to put themselves on the spot in such a public way. That's why it's so important for women to do stand up comedy. It's a voice and a story that needs to be heard and should be heard. Funny Girls is a program that features women comics and celebrates their infamous hubris. Featuring Fiona McGary, 2002 winner of the National Raw Comedy Competition, this is an opportunity to witness her matter of fact charm. Fiona has a unique perspective

METHOD IN THEIR MADNESS

Method will be back in the area this week, bringing you another dose of their funked up acoustic grooves, having just completed a tour of southern regions that included a marathon 10 day stint at the Royal Easter Show. You can catch them at the Beach Hotel on Thursday, and Brunswick Heads Hotel on Friday, The Rails on Saturday and at C-Vue in Cabarita Beach on Sunday afternoon. WHY NOT WRIGHT Why Not in Byron is a happening thang on Wednesday night you can check out the soulful sounds of singer songwriter Simon Wright. You may have seen Simon performing around the area with his brother Jed in their band The Wright Brothers. Alone and exposed, this is a chance to hear the brother stripped back to the beautiful simplicity of songwriting, and maybe even his undies. Catch

and a laconic manner that has seen her become one of the most successful comedians on the circuit. Fiona regularly headlines in Brisbane and Sydney. Joining Fiona is local girl Renee Searles. Renee has that Judith Lucy style delivery mixed with a little something else. Renee is an incredible physical comic, petite and retiring, she's like an elastic band on stage. Warm, witty and wonderful, Renee mimics that little fashion critic in all of us and asks 'Does my brain look big in this?' When you are an Aussie girl with a cultural heritage of being half Welsh and half Chinese, chances are you are already imbued with a comic perspective. Sikim Wan has her wicked way with audiences, playing on their cultural misconceptions and slam dunking stereoypes. Mullum mum of twins, Ellen Briggs is also performing. This sharp tongued mumma says the kind of stuff most of us barely dare think. Kimberly Davenport, a new resident in the area laments her love of Lismore in an ecstatic and hilarious chant. No women's show on the North Coast would be complete without the big girl herself. Yes Me. What can I say about Me. I'm in every mirror I look in, and shit that's not just funny it's sad. I love comedy. There's no greater joy than making someone laugh, even if it is a sales assistant cracking it about the size of

BLEEDING HELL Orange County's Bleeding Through are bringing their pain, frustration and despair of the preyed upon and the forgotten of their new album 'The Truth' to Australia. Armed with long fringes, black stretch jeans and heaps of black hair dye, these guys make bleak the new black. It's young, energetic, underground, and quite frankly for this older music writer, a tad scary. I think my parents felt the same when I was into the Sex Pistols and had taken to wearing garbage bags.

If like me you’re a bit ‘unco’ you may have marvelled at the level of skill required for juggling. Even my rash attempts to improve hand eye coordination result in squashed tomatoes, broken eggs and nothing to eat for dinner. In the aftermath of such a sorry sideshow an idea bulb illuminates the messy conclusion; ‘I’d better order take away– juggling is difďŹ cult’. Yet juggling could be trickier; what if it was your ears not your eyes that guided your hands? Impossible? Not for heavyweight turntable terrorist Grandmaster Roc Raida who juggles numerous beats from several turntables into original real time rhythms.As one of the founding members of New York’s premier DJ crew The X-Ecutioners, Raida has risen to the top of a ďŹ eld littered with talented wax scratchers and wiki-wiki wunderkinds. Over the years he has literally been one of the ďŹ rst artists to cross over

Your last X-Ecutioners record was a collab’ with Mike Patton, how was it working with such a unique artist and what do you learn from collaborating with non hip-hop artists? It was dope making that album. He’s a real creative dude. It took a long time to do, but it came out real dope. When you hit the charts with the Linkin Park collab’, do you now think that was a pivotal moment in the evolution of turntabilism, which could now be a force in chart music, or because it crossed a few genres, do you think that turntabilism still has a while to go before coming a mainstream force? The only thing that we are missing is a real strong turntablist album, once that happens everything else will fall in place. Its still slowly breaking through to the main stream, everybody knows what a turntablist is. Well almost everybody.

sport. It is emotion. Men think women don't talk about sport because we haven't grappled the deep emotional complexity. We just ďŹ nd it dull. Boys' Night In lifts the lid on Secret Mens' Business – what is the quintessential Aussie bloke? These guys explore everything from post coital conversation etiquette to using the L word.

CABARET ABSORB THE ORB One of Australia’s most outstanding vocalists and respected tribute artists, Dean Bourne, takes the audience on a thrilling and emotive roller-coaster ride through the recording history of Roy Orbison, at a candlelight dinner cabaret show at Ballina RSL Club on Friday

On the producer side of things do you think when you get older you will slow down on the DJing front and spend more time in the studio or throughout your career do you think you will always get up on the decks in front of a crowd? I will be a DJ for as long as I can. I always do production on the side anyway. And I do plan on doing a lot more production soon. But I will always be a DJ ďŹ rst. Looking back on a remarkable career, which I know is far from over, what has been the highlight thus far? All of the things we did as the X- Ecutioners/ Xmen. We took it way futher than we ever thought to be possible, so I’m very happy with all the things we’ve done together. Warming up for the Roc Raida midnight showcase, this Wednesday at PLAY, are DJ Name and E-Murda, aspiring Byron turntablists. Also back in Byron for this special event is Noodles, scratching up his own mix of interdecadal hip hop. $10/$15. THE HILLS ARE GLO’ING‌ A new dance event in Uki, near Mt Warning, is happening each month to coincide with the Ukitopia Experience market weekend. Hamilton Barnett, its creator, says ‘Glo is an alternative dance experience, we open at 7.30pm with great food and chai and then at 8.30 - 9pm everyone gets up and we all dance like crazy for 2 hours. People then hang

2 June. The candlelight dinner concept, which began in February, was designed to put Vegas style candlelight cabaret on the entertainment calendar at clubs and venues around Australia. This month’s guest artist, Dean Bourne, has performed his ‘Orbison the Tribute’ show to packed houses throughout Australia, constantly receiving rave reviews for his uncanny resemblance in vocal quality, looks and stage presence to the Big O. Just like Roy, Dean’s stage presence is heightened by an almost motionless delivery, black clothes and the trademark ‘Big O’ dark glasses. In his show, he explains the meaning behind the lyrics of some of Orbison’s bestknown songs, and he also talks about some of the most poignant moments in Roy’s life. Ballina RSL 2 June.

out and socialize enjoying the chai and cakes. So the whole idea is you can come and have an awesome dance in a really friendly and clear atmosphere without having to stay out all night and do the whole doof or club thing.’ Hamilton is a local dance teacher and performer. ‘It’s interesting, the DJ’s who come and play always comment on how free the vibe is at Glo and how expressive the dancing is.’ This months guest dj is DJ Blue Llama. It’s a child free event and when you arrive you will realise you probably won’t need drugs or alcohol. This Friday 19th May @ Uki Hall, main street Uki. $10. For info contact Hamilton 6679 5534.

This Friday @ elsewhere check Scott Walker & Magoo (DROP, Bris) with their fusion of dirty tribal, funky tech & bass driven house teamed up with resident Audun delivering his signature bent electronic boogie. Also on Friday get ďŹ red up with some Red Hot Salsa from 7pm followed by the unique sounds of Dave C at the beautiful Buddha Bar. Get out of town! It’s Taurean Stomp this Saturday at Durrumbul Hall kicking off at 8pm with DJ’s Xfakta, Benji Booth, Mardhu, T-learyus, Tone Broker and Pob. $10.

SCARY MOVIE 4 Scary Movie 4 skewers everything in its path with a wildeyed glee that's contagious. Writers Craig Mazin and the legendary Jim Abrahams of Airplane! and Hot Shots attack pop culture and politics with equal fearless enthusiasm. The ďŹ lm is directed by David Zucker of Airplane!, Ruthless People, Top Secret, The Naked Gun fame. Of course it’s frighteningly silly, intentionally incorrect and stupendously stupid. The ďŹ lm takes speciďŹ c aim at several recent movies including The Village, War of the Worlds, The Grudge and Saw, but also veers wonderfully off on Brokeback Mountain, Million Dollar Baby, George Bush and a host of other targets. Scary Movie 4 offers us a chance to laugh at ourselves, at our obsessions and diversions, our failures and fears. Ross Goode

For some time, new Woody Allen features have been generously hailed as ‘vintage Allen.’ This one is unarguably so. Set in London rather than Manhattan, the story develops patiently as a standard drama about love, betrayal and deceit. Chris (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) is a tennis instructor with an unscrupulous talent for social climbing. He meets Chloe (Emily Mortimer) and marries into her family of complacent toffs. He also manages to have an affair with struggling American actress Nola (Scarlett Johansson), herself betrothed to Chloe’s brother. Eventually, the web that Chris has woven becomes horribly sticky and, through his own weakness, he becomes inextricably enmeshed in it. Allen’s last ďŹ lm, ‘Melinda and Melinda,’ was concerned with fate and how, depending on its ďŹ ckle ways, anybody’s life could become comedy or tragedy. It is again a major theme but the question is dealt with far more convincingly. Events take an odd Shakespearean turn near the end, with Chris talking to spectres about the consequences of his actions, but gorgeous design, typically clever use of music (a recurring, portentous operatic aria) and great acting lead to an unforeseen climax and gripping conclusion. As juicily noir as you could ask for. John Campbell

TWO FOR THE MONEY As Michael Corleone, Al Pacino was a study in cool understatement. Since then he’s been eating aggro pills. Here he is in high-voltage godfatherly mode as Walter Abrams, head of a sports gambling agency. Matthew McConaughey is John Anthony, an ex football champion employed as Walter’s celebrity tipster. He cannot put a foot wrong, but his luck inevitably turns sour. The ďŹ nancial stakes are high, the emotional ones are more so. There are strong echoes of Wall Street in the way that the ďŹ lm deals with greed and power, but as Anthony’s career surges and spirals, I kept thinking of The Hustler, with Paul Newman’s self-conďŹ dent pool player living in a strange netherland of addiction to winning, risking everything to satisfy that hunger. As a morality tale its lesson is unclear – are we meant to pity those who lose so much of their hard-earned on the punt? Is the grasping nature of their obsession condoned? The story has no surprises and might have been trimmed of some superuous scenes – notably Armande Assante’s Mr Big diversion – that only underline what we already know about the buckets of money being wagered. But it maintains a ash if ignoble appeal. John Campbell Favourite Movie Quotation Arthur: I am your king! Woman: Well I didn't vote for you! Arthur: You don't vote for kings! Woman: Well 'ow'd you become king then? (holy music up) Arthur: The Lady of the Lake-- her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite, held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water, signifying by divine providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. THAT is why I am your king! Man: (laughingly) Listen: Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government! Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some... farcical aquatic ceremony! Arthur: (throwing the man around) Shut up, will you, SHUT UP! Man: Aha! Now we see the violence inherent in the system! Monty Python and the Holy Grail

Gemini cusp energy gives you a strong compulsion to push forward rather than wait. Follow it, because right now your intuition’s spot on and not likely to steer you wrong.

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

CANCER: Mars visiting the Cancerian home zone is always an energetic but touchy time, so be extra respectful of family members’ feelings this week. Try and maintain the Crabcave as a dedicated place of grace until Mars packs up and takes off in early June.

Merciful Management! Not another week’s whirl in the material world of business and figures? ‘Fraid so. But look on the bright side – this nuts and bolts week helps get boring chores sorted before next week’s Gemini party stars kick in… ARIES: Today celebrates the feast of St John of Nepomuk, patron saint of bridgebuilders – and it might be worthwhile flashing off a quick prayer for assistance in expressing your vivid opinions this week so listeners are able to hear them without taking offense.

LEO: This week has the potential to give you what you want – but then will you still want it? It’s also the week Britain detonated the first hydrogen bomb on Christmas Island and the first machine gun was patented, so give some thought to the possible repercussions of what you ask for. VIRGO: This week commemorates the $10.5m US government award to Karen Silkwood in compensation for contamination from a nuclear power plant. Sometimes justice can be a long time coming, but you’re likely to finally get to see or receive some this week.

TAURUS: Taurans don’t like feeling uncomfortable – but would you call those critical, judgmental, blaming thoughts comfy? Tolerance of other people’s humanity is necessary this week, even if you aren’t able to tolerate their ideas or behaviour.

LIBRA: If your giving and receiving ratio seems out of whack this week, try and be guided rather than driven. Charm and light heartedness will take you further than hard work anyway – and with everyone else busy battling uphill, the present dense energy could definitely do with a hit of Libran spritz.

GEMINI: This week the Feast of Twins is celebrated in Nigeria, and

SCORPIO: Today is the anniversary of the first Academy Award

ceremony, which gives you an idea what to expect from this week. Yep, b******t dressed in glitter. Everyone playing the game, which you can either join in or opt not to – as always it’s your choice. SAGITTARIUS: Sagittarians say what they think, take it or leave it – which wins support in some quarters, hostility from others. While in theory being upfront reduces problems, if you do it with attitude it actually creates more. Be aware of the energy and intent behind your words this week. CAPRICORN: This is a great work week – now doesn’t that get you going? But wait, there’s more: it’s also one of the peak pleasure transits for revelling in the empire of the senses and the oh, so solid flesh. You could eat this week on toast. AQUARIUS: People sometimes think Aquarians live in their own private dream world. This week you could easily show them who’s dreaming by producing some very concrete results from that innovative imagination. An older person or mentor has something of value for you. PISCES: This week’s straightforward, fundamental, bottom line, let’s get down to basics energy isn’t interested in dealing with complications. While Pisces realise that life’s infinitely more complex, it’s still a good opportunity to sort out and simplify knotty material world problems.

Booyun St Bruns Village

'I SAY, Abbotsleigh,' asked Bosworth while stoking up the bronze hookah handed down from Hassan ibn Sabbah, the Old Man of the Mountain, 'have the tax cuts in the budget made much difference to you?' 'Tax?' 'It's the part of your income you give to the government each year.' 'Can't say I've ever paid it, old boy. My accountant in the Bahamas doesn't believe in it.' It was the Mothers Day Sunday, and we were sitting on the deck at the Myocum clubhouse, resting after a splendid repast prepared by Chef. We looked down to the Tyagarah airďŹ eld, where a trio of young lovers, in true D H Lawrence style, was copulating in the grass alongside the runway, no doubt enjoying the frisson of possible discovery or squashing. Above in the clear sky, parachutes opened like silken bubbles seemingly suspended in the ether as the enthusiasts hanging from them gave forth with old-fashioned rebel yells or paler New Age ejaculations. Out to sea a yacht skipped among dancing whitecaps, and for a moment one might believe that Mother Nature, the mother of all mothers, was entirely benevolent rather than a callous recycler of sentient beings. Chef had taken a French theme for lunch, adapting dishes from the renowned chefs of that nation. We began with a coconut and cream soup, the sweetness tempered by onions and leeks, its consistency thickened with potatoes. This was followed by an entrĂŠe of asparagus in a hollandaise sauce; marlin with thyme and tomatoes drenched in a white wine; a Bloggers Valley cheddar with raspberries; and thence to a praline ice cream drenched in Grand Marnier. Each dish was accompanied by an appropriate wine from the J Pierpont Morgan Memorial Cellar, and the dessert brought with it a cloyingly sweet Mata Hari Decolletage Spat-

lese Lexia, a bouquet of crushed innocence and an afterpalate of brimstone. As the contents of the hookah took effect and we nursed our snifters of cognac, we exchanged tales of our mothers, most of whom had departed for the elysian ďŹ elds – or at least an opulent marble sarcophagus in a family crypt. A nostalgic atmosphere pervaded the deck and a tear or two gathered in some chaps' eyes, especially when Haberdash told how his stepmother had rescued him from the Montmartre Existentialist Detention Centre, where he had been held as a small child for failing to wear his black beret at the correct rakish angle and for allowing his face to break into a smile instead of maintaining the regulation world-weary sneer. And as the afternoon wore on further still, the effects of the 500 micrograms of lysergic acid diethylamide I had ingested at breakfast began to kick in. I conceded to myself it might have been a mistake to have lunch but I managed to weather the sudden shock of my stomach rumblings sounding like a trumpeting herd of elephants. That past, the magniďŹ cent strangler ďŹ g below the trufe paddock uprooted itself from the ground and strolled insouciantly to the deck, the passage of its limbs marked by an iridescent blue afterglow. It looked down upon me – of course the other chaps were oblivious to this phenomenon – and the beaming face of Aldous Huxley loomed out from each of its purple leaves. I waited for an oracular pronouncement. 'I say,' said one of the vegetablised Huxleys, 'pass me that digestive biscuit, would you?' When Huxley took the proffered Gentleman's Favourite Ginger Digestive, it transformed in his hand into a golden tablet decorated with the sigil of the Sorceress of Stokers Siding, an echidna surmounted by a raven's feather. Huxley ate it, and in an explosion which was more subatomically metaphysical than part of one's quotidian his face burst open with a thwump! like a parachute, which, of course, was what I was actually observing.

Food frauds and fancies

Mullumbimby

Vi c t o r i a C o s f o rd I AM deeply suspicious of fakeries and pretenders in all areas of life, and food is no exception. Many years ago tuna was referred to as Chicken of the Sea, as if the notion of consuming the ďŹ sh were unpalatable or even disreputable. Food, like everything else, should be honest, its names and descriptions to denote as faithfully as possible what is to be eaten. And so I found myself outraged recently by reading an article about an exciting new product – 'an alternative for when only the best will do!' gushed the spiel about the invention of a foodstuff which completely replicates 'the avour, texture and appearance of the ďŹ nest Beluga caviar'. True caviar is the unfertilised egg of an ancient and endangered ďŹ sh called sturgeon, inhabitant of the Caspian Sea, and of the three species of sturgeon which produce this roe, the most highly prized is the Beluga. An Australian company called Eco Caviar has managed to develop a product which in taste, texture and appearance is identical – 'The taste is sensational,' its creator is quoted as saying, '...the result is pure glorious caviar. He goes on to say that experts who have experienced samples of it 'have trouble distinguishing it from the highest quality caviar...' Pure? The thing which bothers me is that whatever this miraculous product is, and however gorgeous it tastes, it is not what it is imitating, and I fail to see the actual point behind it. It's like those people who whip over to Hong Kong and return with a boastful booty of fake designer watches and T-shirts, for which they have paid some amusing pittance. This level of insincerity I ďŹ nd disturbing by its intrinsic premise of deceit and its promise that a mere label of prestige may deliver a value and a quality not otherwise there. I am looking at a selection of tinned foods for vegetarians: an Asian range with a Wu Chung brand. Small tins with ďŹ ercely cheerful labels describe themselves as Vegetarian Chop Suey, or Vegetarian Mock Abalone – scrutiny of the ingredients

reveals such items as fried gluten, soy beans, mushrooms and soy sauce. This is a more acceptable form of food fakery – products with names like Not Bacon and Mock Duck which render bearable the prospect of vegetarianism all in the sweetly earnest and well-meaning pursuit of harming no animals. Perhaps the question is: why does the vegetarian who has renounced the eshy fatty fragrances of deceased beasts still pine for their avour? Why, if I cannot afford the experience of Beluga caviar, would I be so easily fobbed off with a product which claims to be identical but which I know is just the result of an 'exclusive recipe using poultry eggs and seafood products'? I was feeling so heartened by changed attitudes to food until I read the caviar story. An ancient copy of the Australian Women's Weekly Dinner Party Cookbook offers many dishes whose ingredients are utterly unidentiďŹ able, food altered beyond recognition into moulds and rings, patĂŠs and parcels, melanges and mousselines, jellies and purĂŠes. Piping bags ďŹ gure extensively; one colour plate depicts a salmon mousse in the shape of a ďŹ sh with paper-thin slices of gherkin for scales and green olives for eyes; platters of poultry are bathed in glazes of cornour-thickened sauces. Though when I think about it, the recent culinary affectations by chefs like Heston Blumenthal and Ferran Adria with their preposterous foams and scientiďŹ c experiments could well be regarded as the contemporary equivalent of faddishness, fakery and fancy. Food, our mothers cautioned us, should not be played with, advice which should continue to be heeded by all.

MAY 21

Derby Day is upon us again and organisers are promising us another fun ďŹ lled family event with a racing category to suit everybody. Cart classiďŹ cations are traditional, homegrown, professional and novelty, each of which has its own speciďŹ cations. All competitors must wear helmets and full clothing is recommended.

outside the hotel. The Corner Shoppe will be open for ice creams. Of course, the hotel will be open for business as usual featuring live music from local band Hudibrastic Funk to wrap up the afternoon. Bangalow Cellars will also be open for take away libations for thirsty spectators and competitors alike.

Registration will take place between 7am and 8.15am at the Bangalow Hotel with racing to start at around 9am with junior competitors racing within their own age groups. Children from ďŹ ve years are eligible and entry fee for all competitors is $15. Everyone gets a practice run before their race. This year, organisers have decided to ‘get back to basics’ and capture the essence of the early derbies. An initiative of the Chamber of Commerce in 1994 to attract visitors to the town to compensate for the building of the PaciďŹ c Highway bypass, the derby was always intended to provide a boost for the Bangalow economy. So this year, there will be no food vans on the streets; instead the local cafes and restaurants will be offering a wide range of tempting treats for the hungry punter. Bang Thai will be offering curries and satays; Urban will offer wedges, chips, pies and chicken nuggets as well as full cafe menu inside; Ate will have egg and bacon rolls, nori rolls, salads and toffee apples, while Basic will offer wraps, salads, pies, pakoras and samosas. Bangalow Seafood will be open as usual, as will Fresca which will also be cooking ďŹ nger food on a barbecue

Once again, the lunchtime Grand Parade will be led by Byron Shire’s best known centenarian Frank Scarabalotti. Hot on his heels will be the Ballina Pipe Band, vintage cars, children from the Bangalow Community Children’s Centre and colourful representatives of various businesses in the town. Following the parade, winners and runners-up of the junior races will be presented with their unique ceramic trophies crafted by Young at Art.

an array of great prizes including a liquid shredder surf board, party packs and meal vouchers from many of Bangalow’s cafes and restaurants. There will also be a silent auction for beautiful gifts donated by local businesses. This community event relies heavily on volunteers; Tony Heeson and the Bangalow Rugby Club once again thank all volunteers for their contribution. A meeting on Saturday May 20 at 6.30pm at Bangalow Bowling and Sports Club for all volunteers will ďŹ nalise the arrangements for the big day. All money raised on the day will be put back into the community with proceeds being donated to Bangalow Primary School, Bangalow Rural Fire Service, Bangalow Pool Trust, Bangalow Chamber of Commerce and the annual Christmas Eve Kids’ Party.

"RING ON THE "ILLYCARTS

Highlights of the day once again will include a skateboard slalom race and a celebrity race to wrap up the day. Included in the celebrity line-up are Mandy Nolan, Jan Barham and Don and Morag Page who will be pitted against each other.

Articles

Better the Devils we know? John Campbell Iran’s President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, recently passed a decree allowing women to go to the footy. Last week the country’s religious leader, Ayatollah Ali Khameini, trumped the Prez and said they can’t. ‘That’s like, totally medieval!’ Cat Carer’s colour is up. I caution tolerance. ‘Even of what’s intolerable?’ She asks some damnable questions. ‘Anyway,’ she muses, ‘why would they want to go to the stupid football in the first place? It’s so demeaning. Like when actresses call themselves actors. How come the man’s title has more value than the woman’s?’ Hmm. She might have a point about the football, too. At least in these parts. Try as they might, the Bay’s rugby league team can’t crack it for a win. I mean no disrespect – the greatest game of all is also the most punishing – but they’re beginning to make the South Sydney Rabbitohs look good. At least the slough of despond that I slip into every Monday morning after yet another routing of the Bunnies is partially tempered by news of the Red Devils’ own debacle.

An unexpected upshot of this ongoing tragedy is the ghoulish fascination with which I wait to see which, if either, of the two outfits will break their duck first. Or, more surreal, will they both make it through the season without savouring the sweet taste of victory? What I really love about the Devils, though, is how they take me back to my own playing days with Tempe Primary School. ‘You mean you’ve had worse bruises than bed sores?’ Cat Carer comes up with stuff like that all the time. I don’t know what Portnoy sees in her. Like our local boys, TPS found a comfortable home at the bottom of the competition ladder. To get there we suffered the most pitiless thrashings every Friday afternoon at

such picturesque venues as Tempe Reserve, Erskineville and Camperdown. We even had the same colours – red and black with white shorts. By God we cut a dapper image as we took to the field. How proud of us our mothers were when we got home with our kit as spotless as when we set out. The opposition would line up to run in tries at intervals of usually no more than three minutes, whereas we hardly ever bothered the scorers. Our one player who might have troubled the other mob, Donald Choy, could run like the wind, but none of us had the wherewithal to get the ball to his wing. On the rare occasions that we did, he juggled it as though his hands were coated with butter or, in Donald’s case, the pork fat from his lunchtime spring rolls. Just once he held on to it and scorched the earth as he fled in terror from the homicidal Cleveland Street defence.You could smell the fear. Talk about Mao’s last dancer – D Choy had wings on his feet that day. The Devils have at least been suffering their tribulations away from the limelight, for Byron is not a particularly sporty place these days, being consumed instead by eating

Get into Kids’ Day and drinking, massage and neurosis. Which is a shame, because the boys are bleeding for the town’s honour. I only hope that their new coach doesn’t employ the method of TPS’s to try and stop the rot. After a defeat, our coach, The Tooth, would work us harder during the week in preparation for the next contest. We wised up early and started conserving our energy on game day so as to be able to cope with Tuesday’s gruelling training session. Consequently we’d follow it up with an even worse loss, meaning The Tooth would work us harder… ‘A classic Catch 22!’ Cat Carer cackles. We were a team of little Yossarians. Beaconsfield, Iraq and Keef falling out of the coconut tree have been getting all the headlines, but spare a thought for the travails of the Red Devils. And listen closely as you drive past their home ground. Long after the Haj of the blues festival has moved on, the team song, Somewhere Over The Rainbow, (Thorpie’s immaculate version, of course), still haunts that field of dreams. So hang in there, boys – at least you won’t have Cat Carer or any Iranian women heckling you from the sideline.

Ever crept into a bookstore, crumpled paper in clammy hand, and whispered to the bookseller, ‘I’d like that children’s book about bums, please’? Thousands of Australian parents have done exactly that, in quest of Andy Griffiths’ bestsellers, The Day My BumWent Psycho or Zombie Bums from Uranus. Andy, pictured, as well as being the author of many adult blushes, has sold more than two million books in the Just… series, as in Just Disgusting, Just Crazy etc and is one of the star attractions at the Kids’ Day at Byron Bay Writers Festival 2006. Andy has often been credited with launching reluctant readers into books with his extremely

silly stories, and there is a new book to look forward to at the Festival. Kids’ Day Passes are available now at an Early Bird Special Price of just $20 ($15 for NRWC Junior Members) at www.byronbaywritersfestival.com or call Jetset Byron Bay on 6685 6262. For details of primary and secondary schools’ events, contact your child’s school in the Northern Rivers region. Kids’ Marquee sessions at the Byron Bay Writers Festival will sell out, so avoid the tears and book now. Tickets for single session events at the Byron Community and Cultural Centre will be available on release of the Festival program on June 9.

Sports Roundup with Alex McAuley New format for Triathlon a big success Rams prove they are the team to beat

Saturday afternoon was bright and cool in Byron Bay; perfect conditions for the 11th annual Byron Bay triathlon. The 350 individual competitors and 120 teams completed a 1500m swim in the bay followed by a 40km bike ride to Lennox Head and back on the coast road, and a 10km run. ‘We changed the format of the swim and the run this year to make the event more spectator friendly,’ said event organiser Faron Young of F2R Promotions. ‘The swim

was in an ‘M’ shape with competitors running down the beach to the water for a 375m swim out to a buoy and back, then a run around a marker on the beach and back down to the water for the other half of the swim. The beach was thronged with spectators and it was fantastic.’ The run has always been completed over two 5km laps, but this year was over four 2.5km laps which again attracted the crowds. While there were 16 professionals

in the line up, according to Young the vast majority of competitors just want to challenge themselves and finish the race for fun. ‘This is known as the party triathlon because it’s the final one of the year,’ said Young. ‘It’s carried out in great spirits and everyone goes to the after party for a well deserved drink at the end.’ One of the highlights of this year’s event was ‘the final winner of the day’ – a 60 year old competitor who finished the race just inside the cut off time of four hours. ‘I followed him home for the last two kilometers of the run just to give him some encouragement,’ said Young. ‘He finished with two minutes to spare and was absolutely delighted with himself. He was also a crowd favourite.’ Final results were: 1st Levi Maxwell from Brisbane in a time of 1hr 55min 37sec; 2nd Clayton Payne from the UK but based in Burleigh; 3rd Clayton Fettell from Alstonville, who had a terrific swim and was first out of the water. The organisers are indebted to Max Tutt and the boys at Byron Bay Surf Lifesaving Club who provide water safety and give them the run of the club facilities.

Sauverain ends his spell with the Devils Devils coach Arthur Sauverain has finally called it a day and decided to leave Byron Bay Rugby League Club after his frustration with the job was impacting on his work and personal life. Sauverain decided that he needed to make the break for his own peace of mind. ‘Things had come to a head,’ said Sauverain. ‘I’d gone to the committee with some suggestions as to what would be beneficial for the players and they didn’t want

to have an open discussion about it. They had their own agenda , and while they are trying to do the right thing by the club, I felt they were looking too far ahead instead of dealing with the problems that exist now. ‘I was sick of poor numbers at training, sub standard training conditions and lack of players in the club. Having said all that, I wish the club every success and am happy to help the players in any way I can.’

Byron Bay didn’t fare any better this week and were beaten by Murwillumbah 62 to 22. They forfeited reserves and U18s drew 12-12. A tenacious Ballina side frustrated Mullumbimby over the weekend and despite being the less impressive side managed to snatch victory over the more fancied opposition. Final results Ballina 23 d Mullumbimby 18; reserves Mullumbimby 16 Ballina 16; U18s Mullum 26 d Ballina 24.

Two knock-outs for Brunswick Valley A mixed bag of results this week for Brunswick Valley Soccer Club with a win, a loss and two draws across the four grades. The second division side fought out a spiteful 2-2 draw against an uncompromising Banora Point outfit. The Valley boys found themselves on the receiving end of some fierce tackling and were lucky to come away with their legs intact as well as the point. A Terry Partridge penalty put Valley in front, although the opposition struck back twice to take the lead. A late goal from wing wizard Chris de Carvacho saw the game finish at 2-2. Valley keeper Bruiser Lang was knocked

out during the match and had to ask his team mates the score at the final whistle. In a bizarre coincidence, goalkeeper Stevie Edmonds was also knocked out cold during the third division’s 52 win over Dunoon. A sickening clash of heads left him requiring stitches to his face, prematurely ending a promising modelling career. Some sloppy defending resulted in the Valley being 2-0 after ten minutes, although a spirited comeback with goals from Ben Wills and Bumpy McLean saw honours even at the break. Seconds after the restart the Mullum boys took

the lead through a magnificent Dean Treveton header following great approach work from Phil Morfee and Jason Loewenthal. Late in the match, an outstanding Tim McLean strike from outside the box put the result beyond doubt. The icing on the cake was a spectacular volley into the roof of the net from the ageless Ben Wills. The fourths fought out a gritty 0-0 draw against Casino. Hard work from midfield general Mark Stephens and Brian Hedge secured the point. Division five went down 6-2 to highly rated Alstonville, with two goals from Red Rory.

On Saturday the Rams premier and premier reserve sides played host to second placed Ballina. The premier division Rams delighted the crowd with a sweeping brand of soccer that had their rivals chasing shadows all afternoon. Their pace and movement off the ball was a delight to behold and up until the last five minutes of the match kept Ballina well and truly out of the game. An opportunist’s first half goal from Tom Ruhl gave the Rams the lead at the break, and Byron continued to dominate in the second half without adding to the score. Finally Tom Ruhl was up ended in the box and Aaron Richter Steers converted the

Crankin

penalty to make the score a well deserved 2-0. However Ballina weren’t to be denied and they scored with a header to Clint Colless making the last five minutes anxious ones for the Rams’ coaching staff. The win has placed the Rams four points clear of its nearest rivals. Reserve grade had a well deserved 2-1 win with keeper Ryan Gray saving an eleventh hour penalty to give the Rams the win. The women’s team played host to Lismore Workers and even though they played well in patches couldn’t keep up with the pace of the game going down 4-1. In third division the men’s

team continued their unbeaten run with another 3-1 win. Once again this team which is a mixture of youth and experience has continued its meteoric rise. Over 35s went down 1-3 to Thistles. Saturday June 10 the club will be holding its annual fundraising night at the Backroom of the Hotel Great Northern at 6pm in the form of a mini trivia night to celebrate the World Cup. Teams are to be in tables of eight; come dressed as your favourite team. Phone Vlad on 6685 6676 to book a table. Every junior and senior team should organise at least one table. Proceeds to both presentations.

Byron Rugby Fettell finishes in fine fettle Union For those players who missed Byron’s game against Malanganee on Saturday they have missed out on the chance for rugby immortality. Only fifteen players were able to take make the trip and all stood up to be counted. The tone of the game was set from the kickoff as fullback Rob Caldwell slid through several ineffective tackles and was then followed by the rest of the backs who gave Range a pointed lesson in running rugby. The forwards were the real heroes of the day as they played a fast and mobile game around the paddock to support the backs. The inside backs again showed why they are the best in the competition, continually tearing holes in Malanganee defence and showing excellent defensive skills. Five tries in total gave Byron a 34-0 win. Next weekend an in form Byron plays at home.

Clayton Fettell was the first of the locals over the line in the Byron Bay Triathlon on Saturday, and despite falling off his bike at the start of the ride, he still managed a very creditable third place. Photo Jeff Dawson

Sports Roundup with Alex McAuley Top seeds tumble at Teahupoo

Byron Bay’s Danny Wills was back to his best surfing the impressive barrels at the Billabong Pro in Tahiti last week. Wills progressed to round four before being eliminated by current ASP ratings leader Kelly Slater. Photo ASP Karen

Spectators viewing the Billabong Pro Tahiti were treated to an incredible display of tube riding as the infamous Teahupoo served up waves of amazing quality. Some of the big names on the tour were defeated in early rounds by lesser known contestants; both Andy Irons and Mick Fanning were forced into second round heats. Irons recaptured his top form and progressed to round three, however Fanning was a shock elimination, beaten by little known Polynesian wildcard entrant Heiarri Willams. Byron Bay’s Danny Wills

fared better and posted a strong round three heat win over South Africa’s Travis Logie. He was eliminated by world champion Kelly Slater in round four, but not before some magnificent surfing and a return to his top form. However, it was rookie Bobby Martinez from the USA who turned the surďŹ ng world on its ear by pushing past a host of established pro tourers to claim his ďŹ rst-ever major event win. Defeating the 2005 ASP Men’s World Tour Rookie Of The Year Fred Patacchia Jr of Hawaii, he jumped into second place

on the world rankings behind Kelly Slater. The girls also competed at Teahupoo with Australians once again dominating the Billabong Pro, making up ďŹ ve of the eight quarter ďŹ nalists. Tweed Heads surfer Chelsea Georgeson was attempting to defend her title in Tahiti, but was beaten by West Australian Melanie Redman-Carr in a close ďŹ nal. Former world champion Layne Beachley was eliminated in the semi ďŹ nals and is now in second place in the world rankings behind Redman-Carr. Georgeson is just behind them in third.

Size counts in rep basketball Bangalow Rugby Union Philharmonic size: Ocean Shores is by far The Byron under 18 men’s rep Basketball team (actually named Ocean Shores) went to Grafton last weekend for the second round of the Northern NSW Country State League. The boys silenced the massive home crowd when they came back from a 17 point deďŹ cit to beat Grafton, which is the number two team, in the last minute. The excitement was overwhelming, too overwhelming actually as the boys went down narrowly in their last two games and looked very at. One of the problems was

the smallest team, and to remedy that situation the players are getting classes at Fit Fix Byron to help beef them up so they can absorb the size and strength of teams like Tamworth, which has an average player height of six foot ďŹ ve inches and is twice Byron’s weight. The next round is in Port Macquarie in four weeks time and the team is still looking for sponsors to help cover the costs of accommodation and transport and registration fees etc. If anyone interested in helping out, contact Brett on 6685 9914.

Bangalow Rugby Union Club faced Woolgoolga for the ďŹ rst time last weekend and as such were up against an unknown quantity. The premiers took it all in their stride with a good early try from the ying winger Chris Bleakley. Accurate goal kicking from halfback Kegsy Jennings took Bangalow to half time leading 13-0. Several opportunities early in the second half went begging before a spectacular mid ďŹ eld break from Ben Cummings put fullback Nick Hornery across the line near the posts. Final score Bangalow 20 d Woolgoolga 0. The match was not as one sided as the score line suggests; Woopi tried hard all day, and were simply beaten by a tight forward pack and a slick backline. With more experience, Woopi will be a competitive force. Next Saturday Bangalow travels to Evans Head to take on the other form team in the competition, Evans River, the result giving a hint of the season ďŹ nale.

It is totally private and all you can hear is the sounds of the forest. The owner is committed elsewhere and has the property priced for a quick sale. Do not hesitate; call now before it is too late.

Two single garages are built onto the house and there is a separate double garage next to the house. The property is newly fenced and there is plenty of room for a pool and some horses.

Backlash of notable community gatherings for thirty years or so. Q Q Q Q One of the consequences of the latest federal budget is the incredible waste of paper. Every pollie and his/her dog faxed us a press release with an opinion, amounting to about 300 pages. Imagine how much stuff a metro daily has to cope with. Q Q Q Q Look, this is probably the last warning you’ll get. If you want to book a ticket to The Jasons, get in now as there are only a few seats left. You can also read an interview with the keynote speaker Richard Neville on page 19. Q Q Q Q Donations can be made to the Larry Knight Appeal to help the family of the miner killed at Beaconsfield by posting a cheque to The Australian Workers’ Union, 6 Lefroy Street, North Hobart, Tasmania 7000.

Watts goin’ on ‘ear den? Broadcast consultant Peter Jamieson, electronics engineer John McCubbray, builder Koba and Sean Latham, project manager at the St Helena tower of power. Thanks to additional funding from the Community Broadcasting Foundation and the work of the volunteers, Bay FM is now broadcasting at 3,000 watts. Sean Latham secured the grant for the project and the hard yards were done by KB the builder and Ros Elliott on the paint brush, the electrical upgrade was installed by Mahdu of Kanchan Electrical and the electronics handled by John McCubbray with the transmitter supplied and installed by ARFC based in Toukley. The result of the upgrade is that people living in valleys, behind hills and at the edges of Byron Shire will have much better reception, but if all else fails you can stream Bay FM into your computer from www.bayfm.org.

Q Q Q Q There are several excellent publications serving the needs of the Shire’s villages. Perhaps the longest-running is The Village Journal, which now has a new website. Visit it at www.villagejournal.org. au and see the splendid picture of the possum. Q Q Q Q Despite constant advice to drink more uids, a national Newspoll survey has revealed disturbing findings about how much and what Australians are drinking. The survey found that 4.5 million adult Australians (or three in ten) are drinking just three glasses or less of water each day, well under the recommended daily intake of eight glasses. Even counting all non-alcoholic drinks (tea, coffee, juices, soft drinks and the like), an estimated 1.2 million adult Australians (almost one in ten) have just ďŹ ve or less glasses a day.
