Pollution prompts call Bay FM radiothon in full swing to revoke RTA’s licence Lesley Patterson Pollution of the Brunswick River due to the Pacific Highway roadworks has reached such a level say environment groups that they are calling for an urgent review of the RTA’s pollution licence. The move has been supported by Byron Shire Council which is also writing to the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) and the NSW Environment Minister, Bob Debus, about the discharge of sediment into the river estuary during recent rains. A coalition of local environment and community groups including BEACON, Conservation of North Ocean Shores (CONOS), South Golden Beach Progress Association, New Brighton Village Association, and the North Coast Environment Council, wrote to Bob Debus in June and again in July to ask for an

investigation into the pollution of the river by the highway upgrade between Brunswick Heads and Yelgun. Spokesperson for the coalition, Richard Whitling, says they have not yet received a reply from Mr Debus. On Friday Mr Debus’s office told The Echo, ‘We did receive the letters. The matter has been referred to the EPA for investigation. Letters are being prepared in response.’ The RTA, which receives its EPA licence through construction company Abigroup, claimed that runoff caused by heavy rains in late June did not contravene the existing licence. At that time the RTA said that sediment runoff had increased due to heavy rain but Abigroup had measures in place to deal with the situation. ‘We have continuing urgent concerns about the sediment runoff associated with the

construction of the Yelgun to Brunswick River Highway upgrade,’ says Mr Whitling. ‘It is apparent that the existing licence is not preventing significant pollution events associated with sediment runoff from the 10 kilometre long construction site,’ he added, saying that steps could be taken by Abigroup to lessen the pollution impact. Shortly after The Echo’s call to Mr Debus’s office, Richard Whitling was contacted by NSW Roads Minister Eric Roozendaal’s office asking for another copy of the letters sent to him in June and July. The RTA was asked for comment but had not responded by the time we went to press. Readers may wonder why The Echo does not ask Abigroup for comment – it is part of Abigroup’s agreement with the RTA that media liaison is handled by the traffic authority.

Local community radio station Bay FM 99.9’s biggest fundraiser, the annual Radiothon subscriber drive, is under way. This year more than ever before, listeners are encouraged to subscribe and help keep this vital and popular service on the air. Bay FM is a non-profit organisation and it is not government funded, nor owned by commercial interests. It runs on volunteer energy and community spirit. This year Bay FM became a regional voice: its broadcast footprint expanded, due to a 3000 watt transmitter upgrade. It can now be heard clearly throughout the hinterland and beyond Lismore, Ballina and Coolangatta. On June 2, the station moved to new volunteer-built studios in the Byron Community and Cultural Centre. Barry Melville, general manager of the Community Broadcasting Association of Australia, described the new studios as ‘leading edge and setting the benchmark for the sector’. The subscriber package for the 2006 Radiothon offers those pledging their $60 ($40 concession) the chance to win prizes and even choose which Major Prize draw to enter. Bay FM subscribers continue to ben-

the cost of Radiothon. The station offers special thanks to SAE, The Beach Hotel, Santos, TP Health, Supa IGA and The Rails. Call the station on 6680 7999 to subscribe.

Westheimer opts for shirewide LEP

Byron Shire Deputy Mayor Peter Westheimer has signalled his intention to support a Shire Local Environmental Plan (LEP) rather than the draft LEP for Byron Bay, Suffolk Park and Ewingsdale. This means the rescission motion to prevent the draft LEP being scrapped is now likely to be lost. In a press release last Monday Cr Westehimer said the draft LEP ‘has been a

lost opportunity overtaken by changing and mediocre bureaucratic process, entrenched interests and political agendas. It is time to move on constructively and and take the best aspects of the Byron draft LEP process into a Shirewide LEP. ‘The state government requires Council to have a Shirewide LEP by March 2009. The current Council

runs to September 2008, and I see it as an overarching political imperative that by mid 2008 a new Shirewide LEP is gazetted. The incoming council will then have a sound legislative base to inherit before they begin the inevitable amendments. The 1988 LEP is up to its 131st amendment now! ‘If Council fumbles further with a draft LEP that is continued on page 2

CE/Council in pilot program

Westheimer opts for Shire LEP

Country Energy and Byron Shire Council have joined forces in a pilot program designed to reduce the council’s operating expenses and at the same time showcase its already strong green credentials. The environmental partnership was launched last week and will comprise two stages. Initially, Country Energy’s specialist energy efficiency business – energy answers – will conduct an audit of council sites to identify energy saving opportunities. It is expected that the audit will be completed and a report submitted before the end of 2006. Stage two will involve the council implementing energy saving solutions and considering the acquisition of more green power, which will enable it to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and protect

I see it as an overarching political imperative that by mid 2008 a new Shirewide LEP is gazetted. The incoming council will then have a sound legislative base to inherit before they begin the inevitable amendments. The 1988 LEP is up to its 131st amendment now! ‘If council fumbles further with a draft LEP that is structurally outdated and so controversial the spectre arises of council ending up in the hands of an administrator, a scenario which would be unwelcome for most people. We need to retain the opportunities and controls that having our own council gives us. I’m not being a doomsayer here.

towards the Shirewide LEP has not been made lightly. I have defended the draft Byron LEP as long as I could and as much as the positive planning strategies in it deserved. Council however cannot keep defending a flawed document that was fear based. ‘The sewerage moratorium is over and there appears to be no rush to develop. We have the time and opportunity to stop floundering. The chief author of the draft LEP, one of Council’s community planners, has left which makes rewriting all the more difficult. ‘I believe that the process that we have gone through towards a draft Byron LEP has not been in vain and that much of the hard work, ideas and community input will be incorporated into a Shirewide document.’

Tread lightly in shorebird season: Council The shorebird breeding season has started, with reports from the Belongil Bird Buddies of the threatened Pied Oystercatcher (pictured), Red Capped Plover and Masked Lapwing nesting within the fenced area at the mouth of the Belongil estuary. Birds have been observed sitting on eggs and also a couple of Red Capped Plover chicks have recently hatched. The Belongil Estuary at the mouth of Belongil Creek is a vital site for resident and migrating shorebirds to rest, feed and, if given the chance, breed. Other important shorebird habitats in Byron Shire include the Brunswick Estuary, Seagull Rocks/North Wall Brunswick, the mouth of Tallow Creek and the Tea Tree Lake at Suffolk Park.

, ,

" * /ĂŠ /, /",-

Belongil Bird Buddies have been working with Byron Shire Council and Marine Parks to recover shorebird populations at the estuary. ‘Due to cooperation and support from the community the recovery effort is showing promising signs of success,’ said David Pont of Belongil Bird Buddies. ‘Over the past two years we have recorded over 130 species of birds using the area.’ ‘The success of the shore-

bird recovery effort is contingent on community support,’ said Council’s Biodiversity Extension Officer Wendy Neilan. ‘Shorebirds are under increasing pressure worldwide because they live in places that are popular for human recreation such as beaches, inlets and the edges of wetlands. ‘Migrating birds rest and recuperate on shorelines and their nests are often just scrapes in the sand. If these birds are to survive we need to learn how to share their habitats, be sensitive to their needs and not subject them to continual disturbances. ‘The birds are easily disturbed by walkers, joggers and especially dogs. We ask

that people take extra care near shorebird habitats. ‘Walk in the intertidal zone near the water’s edge and keep clear of any fenced areas established to protect shorebirds’ nest sites. If disturbed too often birds will abandon their nests and their chicks are particularly vulnerable to roaming dogs and predators such as seagulls.’ Council rangers will be increasing beach patrols over the next few months and issuing fines to dog owners not observing dog exercise areas when walking their dogs. People are reminded that dogs are prohibited on beaches outside of designated dog exercise areas. People ignoring signs and taking dogs into prohibited areas risk a $165 on-the-spot fine and if their dog is unleashed they risk an additional $165 fine. More information about shorebirds and biodiversity conservation can be obtained from Wendy Neilan on 6626 7119.

Trinity is intrigued by the etchings at Hang Up Gallery. Art teacher Neale Krahe, founder of the Mullumbimby High Print Studio, has brought together works by local artists and students of the print studio in an ‘Intaglio’ exhibition at the Hang Up Gallery in Billinudgel. An ancient etching technique dating back to the 15th century, intaglio was a print method employed by artists such as Rembrandt, Goya and Picasso. The Hang Up Gallery, next door to Billies Thai restaurant, will show the prints until Friday August 25.

Quarry DA withdrawn Peace and quiet is important to the residents of Left Bank Road, Mullumbimby, many of whom have been fighting an application for an eight fold increase in the operations of a local quarry. Last week, quarry owner Max Bower withdrew his plans to extract around 25,000 tonnes a year up from 3,000 tonnes in past years in the face of community opposition and a damning report from Byron Shire Council. ‘After a site inspection by Council on Monday [August 7] the applicant realised he would have difficulty in obtaining approval. They decided on that day that it wasn’t worth pursuing,’ said Council’s planning director Ray Darney.

Council’s reason for refusal included negative impacts on the natural environment and local water quality, unacceptable noise levels from extraction and increased traffic movements and unacceptable safety impacts as a result of increased truck movements along Left Bank Road. The application to expand the quarry has now been removed from Council’s assessment system according to Mr Darney, so concerned residents can now relax. However the operation of the quarry at its former capacity of 3,000 tonnes a year is now under scrutiny, with Mr Darney saying he will be looking at the issue of continuing use rights.

Resolving gender differences Do men and women behave differently in situations of conflict, closeness and intimacy? The answer is generally yes. So, how can we resolve or make progress in these relationship issues?

Cape Byron Lighthouse will be just one of 382 locations from over 50 countries to host the 2006 International Lighthouse/Lightship Weekend to be held August 18 to 20. Cape Byron Trust Manager Sue Walker said, ‘This is a worldwide annual event in which amateur radio operators set up and operate from lighthouses and lightships around the world.’ Summerland Amateur Radio Club will be operating at Cape Byron Lighthouse with the common objective

to make radio contact with as many people as possible over the period. The event will serve to promote public awareness of lighthouses and lightships and their need for preservation and restoration, promote amateur radio and foster international goodwill. ‘This is an important event working with the community and linking the historic Cape Byron Lighthouse with other lighthouses and lightships from all over the globe,’ Ms Walker said.

Gin-Murun-Gari retreat In the spirit of reconciliation, Aboriginal and non aboriginal women are joining together to facilitate a three day retreat in order to share the dreamtime practices of women over the centuries. ‘Gin-Murun-Gari’ will be held from Thursday September 14 to Sunday September 17 on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland. The retreat will enable Aboriginal women to enhance their connection with the dreamtime, and will

give non aboriginal women the opportunity to experience and understand that connection. This cultural experience will embrace the principle of reconciliation and offer meditation, story telling, dreaming circles and practical information on aboriginal food and remedies. For more information contact Margo Knox on 0409 476 803 or email margo@margoknox.com. There is a sliding scale of fees.

Local solicitor fined $2,000 North coast solicitor John Weller was fined in Lismore Local Court recently for illegally constructing a private boardwalk from his property at Ocean Shores through mangroves to access Marshalls Creek in 2004. After pleading guilty, Mr Weller was fined $2,000 and ordered to pay $350 in court costs. However, Mr Weller intends to appeal the fine as

the court accepted that the illegal construction was an honest mistake. ‘A title search into my property revealed that the boundary line goes right down to the river,’ said Mr Weller. ‘The boardwalk was built to environmental standards and stops 30m from the river, well within my boundary line.’ Mr Weller also pointed out that when he bought the

property, the land was not zoned SEPP 14 Coastal Wetland, a state government planning policy that offers environmentally sensitive areas specific legislative protection. ‘The reserve was gazetted [and zoned SEPP14] about two years after I purchased the property, and I was not made aware of the new zoning,’ said Mr Weller. Director General of the Department of Environment and Conservation Lisa Corbyn said the court’s decision sends a strong message about the need to prevent unnecessary damage to the environment. ‘Marshall’s Creek Nature Reserve forms a link between Billinudgel Nature Reserve to the north and Brunswick Heads to the south. Over 170 fauna species including 44 threatened species are recorded in the area,’ said Ms Corbyn. Despite the court’s decision, Mr Weller has not been instructed to remove the boardwalk. He hopes to be able to negotiate terms with NPWS to keep the boardwalk in place.

Free energy packs on offer Residents of the Northern Rivers are being given the opportunity to make their own contribution to the battle with climate change by installing free Climate Change Starter Packs into their households. Easy Being Green, the company behind the concept, has collaborated with northern rivers councils to distribute the free packs which contain six energy saving light globes and one AAA rated water saving showerhead for electric hot water users. By installing these packs, residents could expect to save $150 annually on their electricity and water bills and, perhaps more importantly, one tonne of greenhouse gas pollution from entering the earth’s atmosphere. Households will also save an average of 21,000 litres of water every year. As a further incentive, for every pack given out, Northern Rivers councils and Easy Being Green will donate $2 to a central fund created to help local schools become more energy and water efficient. CEO of Easy Being Green Paul Gilding said that the initiative is a world first, allowing householders to trade the pollution emissions they save. ‘Easy Being Green is accredited to trade carbon credits on to energy companies to assist them in meeting mandatory emission targets set by the NSW Greenhouse Gas Abatement Scheme,’ said Mr Gilding. ‘In order to meet their targets, energy companies can undertake their own energy efficiency and renewable energy initiatives and can also purchase carbon credits from accredited providers like Easy Being Green.’ Residents can collect their Climate Change Starter Packs at Ballina Fair from August 14 to 20, or Byron Bay Woolworths carpark

PM the victim of his own intransigence Vol 21 #10

August 15, 2006

Same-sex rights Last Sunday a National Day of Action was held in Australia’s cities and some rural locations, including Lismore, to protest against the 2004 law, backed by both the Coalition and Labor, which prevents samesex marriages and civil unions. While reported on in the national media, the protest was afforded nowhere the coverage given to the PM’s backbencher rebellion, the ongoing ‘war on terrorism’ or, in the Herald’s case, its Sydney to Surf fun run. Admittedly the fun run drew over 63,000 participants compared to the national protest’s few thousand, and good luck to them. Yet it is sad that little attention is given to a law which is intolerable discrimination against same-sex couples. One would expect that in the Coalition’s and Labor’s case, MPs are voting on the basis of religious belief or with a cynical weather eye to domestic politics, which is even more appalling. Yet we live in a secular society and loving couples of whatever gender should have the same access to civil rights. The denial of the same-sex union is not just governmentapproved contempt of the worth of the relationship – in practical terms it means, for instance, that even if a couple have lived together for twenty years and one of them dies, the other has no access to the deceased partner’s superannuation, which is manifestly unjust. Lismore organiser and civil celebrant Rose Hogan told the Northern Rivers Echo the day of action was ‘about raising community awareness that gay and lesbian people do not have the same rights as heterosexuals. We are saying that our relationships are as valid as anyone else’s and we are being discriminated against. ‘Formal relationship recognition is essential to achieve social equality and legal security for loving same sex couples and their families. It’s time for legal discrimination to end and for same sex couples to be treated with full equality.’ Another local organiser Ian Gray said homophobia is entrenched in Australian society and rates of homophobic violence are on the increase. ‘The ban on marriage and civil union represents institutional homophobia. That homophobia directly contributes to threatening our safety and legal protections.’ An ACON NSW survey showed that homophobia is alive and ‘well’ in country NSW, and there are probably several readers who have experienced it. Witness also Mandy Nolan’s recent editorial on the use of the word ‘gay’ as a common derogatory term in schools. We still have a long way to go before mindless prejudice is overcome but it would help immensely if same-sex couples were accorded the same rights in law as other citizens.

A

nyone reading the media lately could be forgiven for thinking that crossing the floor of parliament was a truly apocalyptic event – as fraught as crossing the Antarctic plateau and as irrevocable as crossing the Rubicon. But it was never intended to be thus, and it has not always been thus. In those halcyon days before John Howard purged the Liberal Party of all traces of Liberalism, its members used to stroll to the other side of the chamber with insouciance and impunity. Indeed, there were a couple of crusty (and, it must be admitted, slightly loony) senators who seemed to spend more divisions sitting with the opposition than with their colleagues, and far from being execrated and ostracised they were treated as lovable old eccentrics, living evidence of the tolerance and inclusiveness of the broad Liberal church. Others were more selective in their shows of independence, but took pride in the occasions when they exercised it – and a great many did. Before he traded in his conscience for a ministry even our baneful attorneygeneral Phillip Ruddock was known to cross the floor on a matter of principle. In the past this freedom was held up as one of glories of the Liberal Party and one of the features that distinguished it from Labor: Liberals could vote as individuals, while Laborites were bound hand and foot by the collective. And indeed the Labor rule was and is simple but brutal: if you vote in parliament against a caucus decision you are out – no second chances, no appeal and no reprieve. In

practice the party has sometimes chosen to turn a blind eye to minor rebellions, but at least members know exactly what they are risking if they take the fateful step. Liberals, however, have no such certainty. Under the reign of terror instituted by Howard floor-crossing has become something close to a hanging offence, which is why it has practically never happened and why the revolt over the asylum seeker legislation has generated such dramatic headlines. Yet the party rules have not

sent is always suspect and usually worthy of punishment. The problem is that since the party rules do not regard floor-crossing as a crime, there is no formal provision for punishment. Howard’s own options are limited; his most potent weapon in the party room is the power of promotion to the ministry, but since none of the rebels expect such promotion (if they did they would hardly be rebels) that one won’t work. He could threaten to work against their preselection for

Far from being cherished and protected, the ability to register public disagreement with the majority view is now seen as a crime against the party. by Mungo MacCallum changed; it is all in the ambience. Far from being a privilege to be cherished and protected, the ability to register public disagreement with the majority view is now seen as a crime against the party, the government and even against the Australian people. This deliberately overlooks the act that the Australian people have never been asked directly whether they like the idea of men, women and children seeking refuge in Australia being deported to a foreign penal colony and locked behind razor wire until many of them go mad; but the issue is not the point. The government was elected to govern, and this demands blind loyalty from all of its members and supporters at all times. As in so many other aspects of Howard’s Australia, dis-

next time around, but a series of nasty brawls in the branches is not what he needs going into an election year: he has already seen the consequences of such infighting in the struggle of his dear friend Pru Goward for the state seat of Epping in NSW. In addition most of the rebels are popular figures in their own electorates: Judi Moylan doubled her majority in the Western Australian seat of Pearce in the 2004 election. In practice all Howard can do is cajole and bully, and that obviously hasn’t worked. He has left the serious intimidation to his backbenchers; Moylan in particular has been subjected to an ugly campaign of threats and abuse from her fellow Western Australians, led by the gruesome twosome of Wilson Tuckey and Don Ran-

dall. That hasn’t worked either, and the fact that Howard encouraged it will be seen as another personal failure. Most floor-crossings take place when the party is in opposition and members want to support pieces of government legislation to which their party is generally opposed. To vote against your own government is more serious, and to actually vote down its legislation is very grave indeed. But the crisis should never have arisen. When Howard received the report of his own senators that the legislation was irrevocably flawed and should be withdrawn, he decided to press ahead regardless. When the rebels warned him that they could not support it he decided he could stare them down. Even when the House of Representatives vote proved they were determined, he thought he could still bribe, bluff or bluster it through the senate. A less arrogant, more canny Prime Minister would have withdrawn the bills and instructed his minister, Amanda Vanstone, to continue to make further concessions if necessary; or if there was no hope of compromise, to leave the bloody thing on the backburner and cut his losses with the Indonesians, the party and the public. As it is, Howard has the worst of all worlds. The Indonesians will feel betrayed, the rebels have been vindicated and ennobled, his authority in the party room has been badly damaged, the opposition is crowing, the media are frothing and the voters have been treated to his humiliation in full living colour and surround sound. And serve the rodent right.

Not impressed by Main Arm proposal ■Much to my great dismay The Echo’s August 1 issue informed us all that the Byron Shire Council and several developers have formally issued a Development Control Plan for Main Arm which initially will allow up to 50 new houses built near the sleepy, peaceful twelve house village. Once these are built, there are plans for an additional 50 more houses along Main Arm Road. Can you imagine Main Arm with 100 new houses! This will way overpopulate this peaceful rural area. The serenity and rural beauty of Main Arm will forever be changed! These developments could be approved under the questionable 1998 Byron Rural Settlement Strategy which calls for cluster style housing with homes close together just like a suburban style development. These types of developments are planned for all over the shire. Our beautiful valleys and hills could soon be covered with ugly, inappropriate suburban subdivisions. It should really be called Rural Suburbanisation Strategy. organisations that he mentions as his sources and discovered they have close connections and a shared objective to end the commercial culling of kangaroos. They also effusively promote each other’s literature and provide links to each other’s website. The president of one of the organisations, Pat O’Brien, who Richard mentions as the anecdotal source of some of his information, also contributed an essay to the book, Kangaroos Myths and Realities, which is the newest publication of the other organisation, the Australian Wildlife Protection Council, of which Richard is a patron (oh, and a contributor to the book too). One of the scientists he refers to in his previous letter co-edited the book and is quoted on the back cover as suggesting that we (the g reat unenlightened), should ‘all stand up and say, “I am a Kangaroo�.’ Well, maybe I could stretch to a

Is it so they can test out their still unproven Rural Settlement Strategy? Shire residents take note: Byron Council is keen to spread similar style developments and insta-cities all over the Shire. What we need is a new settlement strategy that results in slow, gradual, and appropriate growth in our rural areas, a strategy that benefits the entire Sue Jones community, not just a few Main Arm developers.

The growing concern I have is that the two roads that will provide access to Main Arm, namely, Main Arm road and The Pocket road, are inadequate and, without speed limits, already dangerous. The proposed upgrades concern me even more. As it is, Main Arm Road has enough road verges to cater for bicycles and horses but with each ‘upgrade’ it decreases further. Every day I bear witness to the angst of the passive aggressive resi-

dents further up the road as they hurtle to work and to workshops. And then there is the question of oil. Are we doing the right thing in locating housing where people are forced to commute by car in this age of greenhouse and peak oil? Road upgrades only encourage greater speed and more traffic. The engineer’s wet dream is my nightmare and I will oppose all future development up the road if it is based on creating more car heaven. Mac Nicolson

■The August 8 issue of The Echo reports the Council wants 48 more houses built around Main Arm village, with another 40 more in the future. How can that be? Is this really sensible planning strategy? Main Arm village now has only 14 homes. Overnight it could become an insta-city with hundreds of new residents, a fourfold small furry mammal, but I’m not sure about making the leap to a big marsupial. The book itself is not going to win any literary awards. In fact, it’s poorly edited and quite a disturbing read. The statistics and conclusions that are there are buried under a tirade of angry and emotional railing against anyone and everyone who holds a different viewpoint on the issue of shooting kangaroos. If you’re a scientist working for ‘the dark side’, your findings are derided and your motives questioned. It’s really quite an extraordinary publication and one definitely worth reading, but not for the reasons Richard has suggested. I am not ‘pro shooting’. But I am certainly opposed to having propaganda on any issue foisted on readers of The Echo via letters to the editor without naming sources and declaring interests. To repeat the point of my original letter, which actually has nothing to do with killing kangaroos, unless you know where someone is getting their information from, how can you possibly decide whether to believe them or not?

Speak out If ever there was a time when it is necessary for people to voice their opinions on a range of topics important to our wellbeing, it is now.

Main Arm ■The proposed ReGenesis project at Main Arm is a great concept for future development and as a development concept should be supported, however there is a serious question about whether it is in the right location. It is no fault of ReGenesis as the area was identified by Sadly, many people lack the confidence to express their strongly held beliefs and so remain what we call ‘the silent majority’. Fortunately, all is not lost. Help is at hand. For many years an organisation known as Toastmasters International has been encouraging and empowering people all over the world to do what I advocate, to stand up and speak out. Anyone can overcome the fears associated with public speaking, especially if that continued overleaf

Whale protocols Regarding the stranding and subsequent killing of a baby humpback whale at Cabarita on July 18 there seems to be some doubt about why the humpback was killed. A witness who was with the whale for 14 hours, Howie Cooke, said the whale was still healthy and that it was possible to tow the whale out to sea where the whale would have had some chance of finding its mother. This was also reported on Dean Jefferys’s website www.flightofthehumpback.org. Instead it was decided to kill the whale on the beach. With so much controversy around the Japanese killing whales illegally it seems very important for all of us to be

aware of where possible saving our cetacean friends in our waters. There should be good protocols in place to address such situations that give priority to the whale and its best interest Patricia Athena

Costly standards A publicly listed company, SAI Global, controls the distribution of Australian Standards. Australian Standards are the basis for many of the laws in the Building Code of Australia. Approximately 149 standards are referenced in the BCA including timber framing, brick construction, concrete construction, plumbing and drainage, etc. Is it right that the access to our laws is controlled by a company? Most designers, builders and tradies do not have many Australian Standards and yet these standards are the basis of the building laws they have to work with every day. One reason for this is the cost of keeping a current copy of the BCA and referenced standards is approximately $1309 per year. I suggest asking your builder friends how many of the 149 building standards in the BCA they own. You may be surprised at their answer. SAI Global Ltd is an international company that distributes over 100,000 standards worldwide. Most items manufactured in Australia have to comply with Australian Standards. SAI Global has increased

revenue by approximately 50% over the last year. The number of referenced building code standards has increased over the past couple of years by approximately 50%. Most laws including State Planning Laws, Council regulations, even the driving rules, are now available free on the internet. Inadequate low cost access to Australian Standards, in my opinion, is hindering buildings from being created to an acceptable standard and creates conflicts and errors in building

construction. Buildings are either built inadequately or overbuilt, and either way the consumer suffers. The Productivity Commission has currently released a Draft Report into Australian Standards. The Report recommends more inexpensive access to Australian Standards. Concerned citizens including owner builders, builders, architects, engineers, Councils, etc have the opportunity to respond to the current survey and comment on its recommendations. The report can be found on

Get involved in the political process ■ Progressives vs Conservatives? Byron is a bit different from the rest of the pack and definitely good so, provided that is for all the right reasons. However, if the current dominant political machine and its de facto party newspaper (Echo) believe that it is progressive to: • stop progress and retreat to restrictionism at all cost; • conduct and/or support mismanagement; and • treat local community majority wishes with absolute contempt and disregard; then we know that we are in the Byron that needs to be changed. Changed sensibly and skilfully with all the talent of the creative force of people that: • prefer a happy, colourful and pragmatic green over a dark shadowy green; and • seek balance, harmony and opportunity-building plus positive work and living environments. It is time to act! People for change unite!

Furthermore, I openly question the extreme party’s mandate that hangs on a mayoral casting vote and a bankrupt electoral system. That system is an insult to anybody with any respect for a fine sense of democracy. Where else in the world is it possible for candidates to get ‘democratically’ elected with a single vote? Nothing against that candidate that benefited, but everything against the system that allowed it, the ones that set it up, and the ones that have the power but fail to fix it. If in that basket, you have, in true essence, no democratic mandate! The error is simple: If you are mayor elect your votes as councillor can be redistributed, effectively giving you a double vote. If running in both races only one final race you contested should count, or better, mayoral elects should need a councillor elect quota to start with. If there is anybody that would ever deserve a double vote, it is for obvious reasons the ratepayers. They provide the funds to

run the show and have therefore much more at stake. Feedbacks please to byronfuture@yahoo.com. au. Rene Thalmann

Ocean Shores ■ The Echo is no party’s paper – Ed ■ I watched with dismay a recent program about the stacking of Liberal Party branches by religious conservatives. It reminded me about how important it is for average people to continue to participate in the political process at a grassroots level. With state and federal elections coming up I encourage people who have a little spare time to consider joining a community group or political organisation where your views can be expressed and a watch can be kept on our democracy.

Brunswick Heads ■ Byron Shire people, please wake up and focus for a while

on what is happening here. The majority of you live here because of our special alternative culture, naturally preserved coastline and mountains and you voted in a council to keep it like that. Therefore look at who is criticising our council and what their motives are. Don’t begin to believe all that it written against our council. Very few people go to the council meetings and see how the votes are going. Do you know that Bob Tardif who got into council with the Greens preferences has from the beginning of this council continuously voted with Ross Tucker on the developer side? Without the votes of Peter Westheimer on the green/progressive side one would think that our Shire had voted in a majority right wing majority developer council. This is why Jan Barham has to continually use her casting vote and is put under unnecessary stress. John Gudgeon when interviewed about Byron United

Letters documented issues and concerns within the Brunswick Heads parks. Mr Tilton’s PoM focused on maximising park profits and did not give sufficient weight to the significant environmental, aesthetic and social impacts of the upmarket makeover. The plans increased the encroachment of adjoining foreshore, road and crown reserve lands. In 2004 the Lands Department’s PoM for Ferry Reserve attempted an outrageous ‘land grab’ of public recreational foreshore land which was thwarted by Byron Council’s decision to reaffirm Riverside Crescent as the obvious natural and legal boundary of Ferry Caravan Park. Byron Council’s reluctance to endorse Mr Tilton’s redevelopment agenda has widespread community sup-

port and Council did not renew his contract last year! There is ongoing suspicion that unaccountable state bureaucrats have been dictating Park Management’s expansive redevelopment agenda. Anyone involved in the ‘consultation’ process can only assume Park Management, Lands Dept and DLWC (in all its various incarnations) have been complicit in undermining Byron Council’s efforts to develop sensitive, sustainable, equitable POMs for the caravan parks in Brunswick Heads.

Beachfronters There has been a tendency lately to regard property owners on the beachfront as the enemy. Rich bastards who can afford to lose their houses for the ‘benefit’ of the rest of us under the

council’s recently adopted coastline policy of planned (managed) retreat. This is unfair. I would like to point out that the cost of beachfront property is so high because so many people want to live there. It is not a random event, this cost, it is the Law of Supply and Demand; the foundation of our economy. Many, if not most, are not really millionaires. They bought their properties in the 70s and 80s when it was a risky thing to do, but if you needed somewhere to live, houses were cheap on the beachfront. There was a little talk of erosion, but a protective dune was being built. It was a great place to live and houses were cheap. Now that houses there are more expensive, they have become the superannuation and retirement fund for their owners who may have no other assets.

But what about the rich bastards who have recently bought in on the beachfront? Well, they pay their rates and support the local economy with costly renovations, shopping locally and employing locals. And they provide a nice balance for all those backpackers, broadening the tourist demographic. ‘The risk, surely they knew the risk they were taking.’ Firstly, it has been nearly 30 years that there has been talk of risk and the houses are still there. Secondly, much of Byron Shire (and Australia) floods. And in flood areas people are not forced to give up their homes permanently.No. Rather funds are found for flood proofing, levees, house raising and other works. Similarily for bushfire prone areas, people are not required to abandon their homes permanently.Though

sometimes it is necessary for the government to buy back the land and pay compensation. So how about a more compassionate approach to our beachfront home owners? These people have their homes under threat. After all, if the federal government can spend hundreds of millions of dollars in unfortunate wars in the middle east and donate a billion dollars to Indonesia, why can’t they help with the slow-motion tsunami of sea level rise? Especially as their energy policies have substantialy contributed to it. This is a highly emotional issue and the Mayor and council have received threats and abuse over it. This is unpleasant and unfortunate, as well as stupid. Let’s treat each other with respect and play the ball and not the man.

We beachfronters are not demons and neither is the Council. Andrew Hall

Supermarket DA Last week’s Echo tells me that ‘over 2,000 submissions have been received by the NSW Dept of Planning in response to a DA for a new supermarket in Station Street, Mullumbimby. Approximately three quarters of the submissions support the proposal said a spokesperson for the Dept of Planning on Monday.’ Can that be true? 1,500 submissions received in support of a supermarket in Station Street? I sent a submission saying I was against the development, and everyone I know is against it. Who are all these people who think we should develop this lovely continued overleaf

Horses, bikes and railway tracks ■In response to David Miller, Ian Kingston and Raelee Delaney’s letter concerning the future of our railway line, I wholeheartedly support the idea for a rail trail in the area! I moved here two years ago from South Gippsland in Victoria, and was extremely disappointed that I never got to ride the trains through what must be some of the most picturesque trails in NSW. While living in Byron I would often walk my dogs along the old railway line, and indeed, it seemed to be one of the only places where I could hear the birds and watch nature without a million people clamouring for the view. At ‘home’ in Victoria, we are blessed with highly active councils who actually get

things done rather than squabbling about things for years on end. We have a number of converted railway lines connecting towns where on weekends bike riders, walkers and horseriders take advantage of the safe passage. I am now living in Yelgun and have a horse but have really nowhere to ride her. I walk the dogs on the line from Yelgun north, but I am limited with them an hour into the walk because of an open bridge crossing a busy road. On that walk I pass through peaceful farmland, thick cane fields and tall eucalypt forests. As I walk I am always thinking to myself, ‘Why hasn’t anybody realised the beauty of this trail as a recreational asset to the shire!’ It seems crazy to me! What does the council of this area do with all of the

millions of dollars in rates we pay? There are hardly any safe walkways to the spectacular beaches, I have often seen older people and little ones struggling over the rocks to get onto the sand at Main Beach. The bins are overflowing in the car parks, and the vast majority of beaches have no toilet blocks and if they do these are largely dilapidated and filthy. Where are the murals? And the parks? That muddy, treeless excuse for a public space near The Rails can hardly be called a ‘park’! Maybe the locals need to take things into their own hands, like in the mythical days of ‘ye olde Byron town’ and organise funding and a workforce themselves.

So I subsidise the City! $600 plus per year! Great! I grow rainforest and keep up the oxygen supply for the city and pay for the privilege. And pay extra fees for ‘waste minimisation’, and ‘onsite sewage’. Insults added to injustice. Come on rural ratepayers? How long are we going to stand this?

Already!? Why does Australia need a Census? – ‘...to make planning decisions that shape the future of our community.’ In other words, to effectively control the population. Their ‘true’ care for your wellbeing is so important to them (I didn’t ask!) there is a ‘penalty for failure to comply’. So if you think they are looking after you, you are right: they are counting on your obedience to keep their own insecurities at bay. Census information is faceless, mechanical data which reflects nothing of what is real in us, our feelings and dreams. These critical times when every solidity, and therefore security, is melting, leaving us floating in uncertainty (you can actually enjoy it!), those with unresolved dramatic baggage are particulary vulnerable as they begin

Pardon me for being sceptical, but I just can’t help myself. After all, it’s only ten minutes to Ocean Shores for those who want a large cheap supermarket over and above what we have now in Mullum. Surely that makes more sense for local residents than reducing the quality of life for so many people living in the immediate area of the proposed development. Does the Minister have the addresses and contact details for all those 1,500 folks in favour of this overkill development for our already busy little country town?

Cancer carers suffer emotional toll An ongoing study into the experiences and needs of carers of cancer patients has revealed that roughly 50% of those surveyed suffer from abnormal levels of anxiety, with another 22% in the borderline range. Preliminary findings from the three-year study, which is being conducted by the University of Western Sydney and co-funded by The Cancer Council NSW, also shows that 48% of cancer carers experience high levels of depression, with 33% classified as atypical. ‘Each year more than 1400 people in Northern Rivers are diagnosed with cancer,’ said Diana Fisher, Regional Programs Coordinator. ‘We know that a cancer

diagnosis has a devastating impact on the person diagnosed but few realise the physical and emotional toll it takes on the family and loved ones, who ultimately become primary carers.’ ‘When you take into account all of the carers, cancer has a massive flow-on impact throughout the community,’ said Professor Jane Ussher, the study’s chief investigator at the University of Western Sydney. The majority of carers surveyed reported a number of unmet needs. Carers noted easy access to health professionals to discuss cancer issues; information on what to expect; advice on services and available help; having some-

one to talk to; assistance with fears, sadness, fatigue, and time for self among their most important unmet needs. ‘We are looking to recruit more carers for the study,’ said Professor Ussher. ‘Partners, family members or friends who care for cancer patients who would like to participate in this study should call 1800 19 20 02 or email cancercarers@uws. edu.au.’ Diana Fisher also said, ‘In the lead-up to Daffodil Day I want to remind carers that they are not alone, there is support available through our online support service program and the Cancer Council Helpline on 13 11 20.’

Council Roundup with Lesley Patterson

T

he first attempt to separate public access from Council meetings was a miserable failure last Tuesday morning. Two groups of ratepayers were assembled in the chamber at the allotted time of 9am, eager to address their elected Councillors, but it seemed some of the Councillors were not so eager to be addressed. By 9.45am only Crs Tabart, Staples, Lazarus, Westheimer, Woods and Barham were present and the session finally got into gear. Crs Tucker and Kestle were out of the Shire and had signalled their absence. Cr Mangleson turned up shortly after 9.45am and Cr Tardif only put in an appearance at 10.30am when the official Council meeting began. Unlike the former public access sessions which were recorded and attended by all Councillors present, this first session had a distinctly cavalier atmosphere. Anyone in the community who shows an interest in attending Council meeting should be encouraged, let’s hope the new scheme improves next time around. Residents of the Woodlands multiple occupancy in Old Bangalow Road have been waiting for 14 years for their application to convert to community title to come before Council. Vicky Henricks addressed Councillors in support of the application which will see 13 houses in total on a 100 acre lot. Vicky and her fellow petitioners waited around for the ‘official’ Council meeting to start at 10.30am when after some discussion about traffic, the

prohibition of dogs and cats, and stormwater arrangements the application was approved unanimously. The sailing wasn’t quite as plain for a six cabin health farm proposal in Skinners Shoot Road. Clint and Jan Dawkins have applied to convert their six hectare former cattle farm to a health farm which will ‘provide a sanctuary where persons with disabilities or health issues can come to receive respite, care, health and dietary training’. A noble enough concept, but one which Byron Shire’s planning regulations fail to cover in sufficient detail. A health farm falls between the definition for a recreational establishment and a rural tourist facility. On purely planning terms the proposal raised two problems. Firstly the bad condition of Skinners Shoot Road, which floods and despite its proximity to Byron Bay is still dirt. Secondly the minimum lot size for a rural tourist facility is 20 hectares, a rule which to date has been strictly adhered to.

A lengthy debate by councillors weighed the option of taking a generous view of the health farm, in view of the service it will offer to disabled people, versus creating a loophole for less altruistic landowners. It was argued that some applicants, whose land had previously been excluded as a rural tourist facility because of the 20 hectare minimum rule or due to the condition of the road, might suddenly develop an interest in running a health farm. Loopholes or precedents are dirty words in planning circles, but planning director Ray Darney had recommended approval and seemed confident that the sky wouldn’t fall in if Councillors voted to support him, which with the exception of Jan Barham and Tom Tabart, they did. It was Bob Tardif ’s and Diane Woods’s turn to vote against a motion when it came to a report on the new supermarket in Mullumbimby. Attentive readers of The Echo will know that

Chris Mallam and Ray Musgrave applied to the NSW Department of Planning for approval of their development application after Council had rejected it. Council staff got a second chance to comment on the development, now in a slightly different form, which they did suggesting the state government give it the thumbs down. Councillors endorsed the staff submission, (excepting Crs Tardif and Woods) adding some comments of their own involving regarding traffic flow. Coastal erosion and Council’s policy of planned retreat seems to be emerging up as the next big battle ground with the reformation of the Coastline Management Committee. A recent court case at Belongil upheld Council’s position of requiring landholders to move houses 20 metres back from the erosion escarpment. The Land and Environment Court ruled that proposals by Esplanade resident Mr Van Haandel to build his house six metres from the erosion escarpment was unacceptable and also noted that due to the coastal hazards affecting Belongil the site clearly called for a ‘cautious approach to any form of development’. Last Tuesday Councillors endorsed the terms of reference and the new membership of the Coastline Management Committee which will see residents, councillors, environmental and community groups, tourism bodies and state government representatives wrestle with a plan for the Shire’s coast over the next 12 months.

Letters

When two great warrior tribes go to war‌ ■The land of Israel is the ancestral and spiritual home of the Jewish people. Jews have lived continuously in Palestine for thousands of years. In 1947 the UN voted to partition Palestine into a Jewish state and an Arab state. With the declaration of the State of Israel, five Arab states invaded. It is erroneous, although a popular misconception, to view the establishment of Israel as a western imperialist entity imposed on the Arabs. The more appropriate view is that the Arab/Israeli conflict is a clash of national liberation movements – two peoples each claiming the one strip of land. One view of the Arab/ Israeli conflict is of big powerful Israel, with USA backing, in conflict with the stateless Palestinian people. A broader view is of six million Jews in tiny Israel surrounded by 300 million Arabs in 22 hostile states, with massive oil money, who over the last 60 years have attempted to destroy Israel, and who with other Moslem nations garner a third of the votes in the UN. Both views are true. However, a more appropriate view is to take both views into account when dealing

with this issue. The only solution to the Arab/Israeli conflict is a two state solution – Israel next to a Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza. The great majority of Israelis support a two state solution. Unfortunately, the majority of Palestinians, and Arab states, still seek the destruction of Israel and its replacement with an Arab state, free of Jews, in all mandate Palestine. Hence the continuing conflict. The central issue in the debate on the current Israeli/ Hezbollah conflict is: How do you take out missiles which are landing among your civilians, when the missiles are deliberately located amid a civilian population? This is Israel’s moral dilemma. Does Israel not attack, to avoid civilian casualties, and in so refraining, allow its civilians to be hit? Or does Israel attack Hezbollah sites to prevent the missiles being launched at Israeli civilians, and in so doing, incur Lebanese civilian casualties? Dr Mounir Herzallah, a south Lebanese Shi’ite, stated how Hezbollah stored rockets in bunkers in his town then built a school and a residence directly over it. To quote Dr Herzallah: ‘A

local sheikh explained to me laughing that “the Jews would lose in any event because the rockets would either be fired at them, or if they attacked the rocket depots, they would be condemned by world opinion on account of the dead civilians.� These people do not care about the Lebanese population, they use them as shields, and, once dead, as propaganda. As long as they (Hezbollah) continue existing there, there will be no tranquillity and peace.’ The former Hezbollah leader Hassan Massawi said about Israel and negotiations: ‘We are not fighting so that you will offer us something. We are fighting to eliminate you.’ Hezbollah’s present leader Hassan Nasrallah has often bragged that Hezbollah will win this war because ‘the Jews consider life holy – we glorify death’. Hezbollah has the backing of Iran, whose President Ahmadinejad has repeatedly threatened to destroy Israel. His genocidal madness is rooted in an apocalyptic belief that the annihilation of six million Jews in Israel will herald the arrival of the 12th or ‘hidden’ imam (the Shi’ite messiah figure). Ahmadinejad stated in 2005: ‘We don’t shy away from declaring that Islam is ready to rule the BY world.’ )N THE TWO YEARS SINCE 6LADIMIR WIN A GAME AND WAS THE VICTIM Meanwhile, Israelis, Leba+RAMNIK NARROWLY HUNG ON TO OF THE TOURNAMENT S BEST ATTACK nese and Palestinians are HIS "'. 7ORLD #HAMPIONSHIP FROM "ORIS 'ELFAND IN THE FINAL dying.

Julie Nathan

Lismore ■I was interested to hear the US Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice, make the statement that rather than negotiating a ceasefire in the Middle East, they should be addressing the underlying issues of the conflict. Unfortunately she did not comment on what she thought these were. The main issue underlying this conflict, and all the previous conflicts between the Israelis and their neighbours, is of course the occupation of Palestine by Israel. The Israelis’ claim to a homeland in the Middle East is based on their belief that it was given to them by their God, Jehovah, as a part of their covenant. This argument has no justification to the Palestinians who are followers of Allah, not Jehovah. What we really need to discuss with the Israelis, though, is can they really justify their claim even from their own religious viewpoint, and this does not seem to be the case. The original covenant made between Moses and Jehovah included a Council of Elders, who were to act as

government and law courts. The first major infringement of this covenant occurred when the Israelites replaced the Council of Elders with a King, and Jehovah warned them that they would regret it (1Samuel 8:4-18). Their second major infringement occurred when they rejected Jehovah’s wife, the Goddess know as Shekinah or Ashara, as part of the reforms of King Josiah, and again Jehovah was not happy about it (Isaiah 50:1). The reason for this was to eliminate the pacifist Goddess worshippers and make the Jews more warlike before staged an offensive against the Egyptians, which was a disaster and Josiah was killed in the battle. The Babylonians then invaded Israel, ransacked the country and took the survivors to Babylon as slaves. The third and final major infringement of the Jews was the rejection of Jesus, who it seems was first accepted as being the Messiah by the Jews of his home city (Matt. 13:54, Mark 6:2 Luke 14-22), before being rejected for reasons unknown (Mark 6:4, Luke 4:23-29). This was shortly followed by the disastrous uprising 66-70AD, in which an estimated 680,000 Jews were killed (mostly by their fellow Jews), and another in 134AD, which led to their banishment from the Holy Lands. I don’t believe that Jehovah would have allowed this to occur if He still considered the Jews to be His Chosen People. The reestablishment of a Jewish Homeland may have been acceptable if it had been achieved justly and in accordance with international law, but it wasn’t. Nor was it in accordance with the Balfour Declaration of 1917, which stated that ‘nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine’. This obviously must include the right to ownership of their land and free access to their sacred sites. When we consider the current state of affairs in Israel it is hard to accept that Jehovah was involved in the return of the Jews to their Holy Lands. The reestablishment of Israel in 1948 was instigated by the Christian West, and was not the peaceful settlement that occurred when Jehovah did it before. Rather it has led to almost constant violence and upheaval and a massive death toll, many of whom were civilians, not trained soldiers. The Jews may believe that their gods gave Israel to them as part of their covenant, and they may still believe that

they are the Chosen People of God, but the Palestinians don’t, and nor should the Christians. The main reason for the conflict between the Christians and the Jews is that the Jews rejected Jesus, so if any religious group in the world is going to deny the Jews their status as the chosen people of God and a right to a homeland in Palestine, then it should have been the Christians who gave it to them. Once we accept that Israel’s occupation of Palestine is unjustified from either point of view, and especially from an Palestinian/Islamic one, then we must accept that the conflict will continue as long as the occupation does. Unfortunately, the Jews have not only had nearly 60 years to get established in Palestine, they have been given an incredible amount of military aid by the US (more money than the US has give as food aid to sub-Saharan Africa), and they have managed to obtain a sophisticated nuclear arsenal. Returning Palestine to the Palestinians without the co-operation of the Israelis could lead to serious consequences for the whole world, not just the Middle East, but as long as they stay there the war will continue, and the death toll will continue to rise. Matt Jackson

Byron Bay ■I have just been reading an excellent book about the 1967 war. Egypt was the first country to be attacked by Israel on day one of the war. A UN observer force had been stationed near the Egyptian border since 1956. On day one (June 5, 1967) three UN observers (Indians) were killed when their white UN vehicle was repeatedly strafed by Israeli war planes. Later that day five more UN peacekeepers were killed and dozens wounded when their long established camp was shelled by Israeli artillery. The UN observers moved out. The leader of the UN force said ‘they don’t want anyone observing what they are up to’. The Secretary General of the UN condemned the killings. The Israelis said surely you can’t imagine we did it on purpose. ( Info from Six DayWar by Jeremy Bowen, BBC’s Middle East correspondent for many years. It has been very favourably reviewed as an accurate and balanced account by The London Daily Telegraph and others.) And so it goes – with the additional wave of nausea bought on by the spectacle of Howard and Downer using the slaughter to make a bla-

tant bid to capture the (historically Labor) Jewish vote – proving once again that there is no depth which Howard will leave unplumbed in search of a vote. Not that he need worry. Beazley has been pathetic in his desperate attempt to hang on to said vote by the feeble expedient of saying nothing at all about a strategy that requires the slaughter of hundreds – maybe eventually thousands – of children, not to mention their innocent mums and dads. The guy is a total loser. Rudd has proven to be no better. The best he can do is blather on about getting Australians out from under the (cluster/phosporus) bombs. What about getting the Lebanese out? What about getting the Israelis out? What about stopping the bombs altogether? Can’t mention that – might offend the Jewish vote. The bellicose bombast of Howard and Downer – all the way with Olmert hey! – will also get innocent Australians killed. In another blast from the past their rhetoric exactly recalls their chest thumping gung ho reaction (in July 2002) to being briefed (in Washington DC) on the US plans for attacking Afghanistan and Iraq. Thousands of innocent Afghanis were at the time being pulverised by US carpet bombing. Downer and Hill rather jumped the gun by announcing that ‘anyone who opposes invading Iraq is a fool’. I was so shocked by their reckless and provocative language that I wrote to Downer predicting that his remarks would bring death to Australian civilians, that Australian parents would – like the Afghanis described in a New York Times article – be finding small pieces of their children hung up in the branches of blast-shattered trees. A couple of months later the bombs went off in Bali. Hezbollah has promised revenge for the slaughter in Lebanon. Who can blame them? Now we can look forward to subway bombs in Sydney and Qantas planes being blown out of the sky. Not to mention the attack on Iran that must proceed the November elections in the US if the neocons are to hang on to power – a desperate move with unpredictable consequences which could include world war. But that is a little way down the track. For now just consider whether or not you would feel comfortable being a UN observer when Israel has decided to go to war. John Weiley

Max benefits from remote learning As two-year-old Max chatters away while playing with his toys, most people would never guess that he’s deaf. But Max has a profound hearing loss, a cochlear implant – and speech and language which is above average. Max, the son of Karla and Jim of Bangalow, was first diagnosed with hearing loss when he was screened in hospital at three days old. Further testing confirmed the loss, which came as a huge shock to Karla and Jim. ‘It was a pretty emotional time,’ says Karla. ‘We were lucky we met people who could point us in the right direction. There was very little access around here to information – we just had to try and find out everything for ourselves.’ Karla was fortunate that she met another local parent whose child was on the Royal Institute for Deaf and Blind Children’s Remote Early Learning Program for regional families. At the time, Karla and Max were trekking to Brisbane every week for early intervention sessions. ‘I realised the RIDBC program would work better for us, and now we just go to Brisbane once a month,’ she said. ‘It’s taken so much of the legwork out for me, and

I don’t have to struggle any more to find appropriate resources.’ RIDBC teacher Sheeba Philip provides weekly assistance to Karla and Max by regularly phoning to talk about Max’s program and how he is progressing. Every

fortnight, she sends a big blue bag full of educational activities and toys. ‘She looks for ways to stimulate Max’s language through play – fun activities so the language kind of bursts out,’ said Karla. Recently, Karla and Max

also travelled to Sydney for a conference with other regional families, which Karla describes as ‘absolutely fantastic’. ‘I walked away with such a feeling of rejuvenation. I feel really ready for anything. ‘It was also great to realise that there are so many other people in the same boat, and to be in a place where deafness was completely normal. ‘It was a great help practically, too. For instance, I had a one-on-one session with Sheeba and she was able to fine-tune what I’ve been doing with Max.’ On the way home from a conference, in a bus, a woman watching Max commented to Karla that she must be a stay-at-home mum because he was such a chatterbox. ‘I laughed,’ said Karla. ‘I said, “Yes, he’s not doing too badly for someone who’s deaf!�. She didn’t believe me.’ More information about the Remote Early Learning Program can be found at www.ridbc.org.au or by phoning 1300 131 923. The program is an Early Childhood – Invest to Grow initiative, funded by the Australian government under the Stronger Families and Communities Strategy.

Parent groups call for school bus safety Concerned parent group representatives met in Sydney on August 9 to decide on further action to ensure the improved safety of children who are travelling on school buses throughout rural NSW in speed zones of 80 kph and above. The Roundtable agreed it is time for the NSW Government to ‘end the stalling and take action on school bus safety in rural NSW now’. Representatives of the Parents and Citizens Federation of NSW, the NSW Parents Council, the Isolated Chil-

dren’s Parents’ Association (NSW), the Council of Catholic School Parents (NSW/ACT) and the Belt Up for Safety Action Group were supported by other key stakeholder organisations at the Roundtable. These included Australasian College of Road Safety, Australian Medical Association, the Australian Lawyers Alliance, Kidsafe, Transport Workers Union and the Association of Catholic School Principals NSW/ACT. Parents have been calling for improved internal safety

measures on rural school buses in NSW since 2001. They have been waiting for five years and have had to deal with three Ministers for Transport. A School Bus Safety Working Group was set up by the then Minister for Transport Michael Costa in June 2003 and reported in December 2004 to Minister John Watkins. The Roundtable confirmed unanimous support for the commitment of taxpayer public funds to advance three objectives for every rural school bus which trav-

Local artist’s work selected for Blake Prize Miriam Naughton’s painting ‘The Destruction of the City of Sodom’, pictured below right, has been selected for the Blake Prize for Religious Art. Since 1946 this exhibition has made a significant contribution to the history of Australian art. It deals with the tensions that prevail in such a concept

as religion. Controversy and debate keep it dynamic and contemporary. This year 330 works were submitted with around 20 selected for exhibition. Miriam’s painting is of the Biblical account of the destruction of the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. God told Lot to leave the city with his wife and two daughters

and he sent two angels to guide him. God warned Lot not to look back and when Lot’s wife took a peep at the destruction she was turned to salt. The city is being destroyed

by a nuclear bomb and is set in the Australian outback. Miriam says, ‘I set it in the country I know and in the time in which we live.’ Miriam turned 81 this year and has lived in the Byron

Shire for ten years. ‘I have entered the Blake Prize seven times in my 59 years of painting and been hung every time. ‘This will probably be my last major exhibition so I am

very happy to be chosen.’ The exhibition opens August 31 at the The Gallery, National Art School, in Darlinghurst, Sydney, and will tour most state galleries.

Shearwater celebrates low budget filmmaking It’s time to dust off the diamonds, fill your champagne glasses and walk the red carpet as The Mullumbimby Shearwater Steiner School, in association with www. northcoastguitars.com.au, Cardog Design and Late Nite Video presents its first ever annual Mariachi Short Film Festival on September 16 and 17 at the Byron Community Centre. Created by director/film teacher Eliot Baring with the help of the current Year 11 students at The Shearwater Steiner School in Mullumbimby, the aim of the Mariachi Film Festival is to showcase the work of young, independent digital filmmakers from the north coast, Australia and around the world. ‘We were inspired by the staff and students of the San Fernando High School who organise the iCan Film Festival every year in California,’ says festival organiser Baring. ‘The standard of high school student film making at the Shearwater Steiner School is excellent; we have a creative student body, fantastic equipment, facilities and the technology to produce slick, low budget films. ‘The next logical step was to create a community showcase event to screen our stu-

dents’ films, together with the work of other short film makers under the age of 30, from around Australia and the world. Like its namesake, The Mariachi Film Festival is a celebration of low budget guerrilla style digital film making.’ Baring says perhaps the most prolific Australian example of guerrilla style digital film making of recent years that employed `punk’ techniques to produce and market a low budget digital film was the 2004 cult Japanese Australian surfing road movie Bondi Tsunami.

Writer/cinematographer/ director Rachael Lucas and her film making team – brother in law Anthony Lucas-Smith (producer), Michael Jones (editor) and Taki Abe (lead actor) – will be judging the short films on opening night of the Mariachi festival, and presenting the The Mariachi Toscar Awards to the top film finalists. Following the showcase and awards ceremony, Bondi Tsunami (in its original Japanese language version, previously unseen on the big screen) will screen, followed by a Q&A session with the

film makers. ‘We have received a huge amount of support from the local community and hope to make the Mariachi Film Festival an annual community event,’ says Baring. ‘Tickets are limited so it is best to book tickets soon to avoid disappointment, as this is shaping up to be an unforgettable night of independent cinema.’ Entries will be open until September 10 and entry forms are available from the filmfest website http:// creative.shearwater.nsw. edu.au.

Among the orangutan in Borneo Christine Lucke When I was young and heard about ‘the wilds of Borneo’ it sounded so remote and dangerous, I never dreamt I would go there. When a friend suggested a family holiday last year it seemed too exciting to decline. Our group, including five children, had our first stop in Bali and stayed at the Udayana Lodge, Jimbaran. This Lodge and the Rimba in Borneo are operated by a vet who fled Uganda several years ago with his family in a light plane. They now run the Ini-Radef Foundation which focuses on conservation and sustainability in rural and agricultural Indonesia. Our brief stay in Bali was lovely as always but our primary destination was Kalimantan, Borneo. There we stayed in a comfortable jungle lodge and spent our days cruising the Sekonyer River in a traditional river boat or ‘klotok’, so named for the sound of the engine, in search of wildlife. We were not disappointed, sighting both short and long-tailed macaques, black handed gibbon, monitor lizards, fresh water crocodiles and a range of beautiful birds, including hornbills, (revered by the local Dayak people), sea

eagles and kingfishers. The lodge offered its own wildlife experiences with cheeky macaque monkeys everywhere, even invading the dining room during mealtimes. The wildlife highlight, however, was the orangutan. We attended feeding sites where we came close to many wild and rehabilitated orangutans, ranging from the large and powerful males, majestic Kusasi, to the beautiful, human-faced babies. My daughter had a rare treat when Rosemary, a rehabilitated mother with a newborn baby on her back, sat next to her and held her hand. An unexpected and awe-inspiring experience. Our guides, Harry Roustamon (guide, interpretions) and his team, Jeni (Harry’s brother, who the children adored), Hati (fabulous

banana pancakes!) and Dodi (boat crew and singer), made us feel very welcome and cared for us wonderfully. They prepared fabulous buffet lunches from the tiny kitchen at the back of the boat, enabling us to sample a range of local foods. Cruising the Sekonyer River was spectacular, like gliding on mirrored glass. Early evenings however were the most beautiful, with endless lightning in the skies and millions of fireflies along the banks. Another memorable, if less positive, experience was the gold-mining. While the corporate miners have moved on, locals still mine gold and more recently copper, against government regulations, working in dangerous and primitive conditions, exposing themselves to toxins and destroying the forest and

river. The areas that have been mined are now deserts with little prospect of rehabilitation. This trip is a must for the eco-traveller with a sense of adventure but an appreciation of creature comforts. What made it particularly special for us was the relationship that developed with our guides and the wonderful care they took of us and our children. I am advised that the trip now costs about $2,000 exBali for two weeks, all inclusive with several days on the Island of Flores, home of ‘the Hobbit’ caves, to see endangered Komodo Dragons. The same team are currently purchasing and will soon open an elephant lodge in Sumatra. Throughout this trip you stay in Green Globe accredited eco-lodges and in terms of hospitality the Kalimantan leg is like a Bali experience from 25 years ago. For those with the resources, Kalimantan also offers rubies, sapphires, amethysts and beautifully hand-carved Dayak pieces. Find out more at www. orangutan.org.au; www. ecolodgesindonesia.com; and enquiries to Claire: highnoon@breakofday.com. au.

Lisa makes it back to the Bay from Lebanon Alex McAuley It took two weeks, endless backtracking and hours of nail biting anxiety, but singer Lisa Hunt is finally home in Byron Bay after her harrowing ordeal trying to get out of Lebanon. According to Lisa, the retaliation after Hezbollah kidnapped two Israeli soldiers came as complete shock to the Lebanese who refused to believe that the bombing would last more than a day or two. As time passed, however, reality began to set in and the scramble for safety started with people fleeing for the mountains. ‘I had shows booked for two weeks and people kept begging me no to cancel as they were convinced the whole thing would be over in a couple of days,’ said Lisa. ‘They’re shell shocked; they can’t believe the Israelis are doing this.’ Lisa explained that Lebanon is such a melting pot of cultures and religions that it has taken years for the community to reach a precarious balance of acceptance. ‘Walking through downtown Beirut you will see fully veiled women alongside women in hot pants,’ she said. ‘People are divided over Hezbollah with some strongly anti Hezbollah and some more undecided. They have done some good things for Muslims in Lebanon, like providing social programs for the poor.’ Surprisingly, Lisa said that communications were quite good throughout the bombings, with mobile phones working and television broadcasting despite the chaos. Unfortunately, however, the communication

with the Australian and US embassies was not good. ‘I registered with both embassies two days after war broke out and nine days later I still hadn’t heard anything. In the end it was a Lebanese friend who was getting some American kids out of the country who called me and said “The embassy isn’t calling anyone; this is where the boat is, get down there”. So my agent drove me down from the mountains and eventually I got on board a US naval ship. Under any other circumstances that would have been really cool!’ The four hour crossing to Cyprus turned into a 36 hour ordeal, for much of which Lisa and her 1100 travelling companions were on their feet. Her hopes that things would improve when she arrived in Cyprus were soon dashed as she still wasn’t able to get any sense out of the US Embassy staff. ‘Once I got to the Australian emergency task force, everything was very well organised and under control. It was the first time I cried; I told them I just had to get out of there and they got me on a plane that night.’ Despite the horrors she has endured, Lisa still feels a great empathy for the people of the region, and although she grew up hearing stories of violence in the Middle East, she said it was completely different when witnessed first hand. ‘Once you get a feel for the people and culture it is devastating to watch their hopes and dreams shattered,’ she said. ‘It’s going to take them at least ten years to get back to where they were.’

Television Guide 1. Anjelica Huston is popular this year, having at least four films in release so far. She also stars in The Witches (NBN, Saturday, 7.30pm), an entertaining kiddies’ romp in which witches try to turn all the children in Britain into mice, an idea with merit. 2. Johnny Depp is excellent in perhaps Jim Jarmusch’s best film, Dead Man (SBS,Wednesday, 10pm), shot beautifully in black and white. 3. Sharon Stone is one of the guests on Parkinson (ABC, Saturday, along with Stephen Fry and Bette Midler. The 2005 movie Heartless (Prime, Saturday, 9.30pm) doesn’t register on any radar, which is unusual.

Happy birthday!

You are invited to come celebrate with us! Seven years ago Yami was born humbly providing the community with the freshest and tastiest Middle-Eastern vegetarian cuisine and a comfortable and friendly meeting place. As one seven year cycle ends and a new one begins, we welcome our new neighbour Conti with whom we will gladly be sharing the deck dining area. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you, the community, who have given us your wonderful support over the years. Many Blessings!

The conception of our restaurant has been a long time in the planning and the help and support of many special individuals and their personal talents will allow us soon to give birth to a unique space that will be called CONTI. I would like to take the chance to thank all the people involved: Michael Judell, developer; Saul, builder; Kenny and his boys for the plastering; Ben and crew for the painting; Ben and Hayden for the bulkhead and unique storage areas; Jeff and Margaret of Bangalow Upholstery; Barry for the floors; Andrew’s support with the kitchen; Big Mark for his patience with all my changes to the stainless; all the boys from Australian Wood Design; Matt the plumber from H2O Essential with the neatest work ever seen; Martin Miller Electrical, Steve and Matt for the music; Eddy for the woodwork; Royce and Coolabah Refrigeration; Ian Harrison, the mind of graphic design, for his continual search for inspiration; Ian ‘push the limits’ Cooper; Optimus for the stainless steel signage; and Tanya for the incredible menus. CONTI will be a modern European/Mediterranean style restaurant, serving breakfast and lunch seven days a week with a relaxed environment where food, coffee and service are our main focus. Over the Christmas period we will be opening for dinners for a more formal dining experience. The goal is to create an environment where every person that visits CONTI feels as if it’s a home away from home and is always made to feel welcome. Genuine hospitality is our philosophy. I look forward to the official birth of CONTI and welcome anyone who wishes to join us. I would also like to sincerely thank the Bruns locals for their continual good wishes and support. Yes, we will be open soon! Stephen Tuckwell Chef / owner

Ben Whitecross fronts the Ben Whitecross Band, with a sound scape that provides a perfect canvas for Ben’s amazing voice. Ben is also the front man for King Mungi. So what’s it like balancing two creative projects? Is one the jealous wife and the other the mistress? ‘They make me feel like that sometimes, they are two completely different styles. I write for both – it’s different expression – I think it’s great to have different outlets.’ It can be tough for an up and coming band to

get the cash together to pay for studio time and CD release. Usually bands fund projects themselves or look for enthusiastic benefactors. Ben decided on another route. Of course it’s a little paper heavy, but the government grant can be a godsend. The Ben Whitecross Band’s EP was funded by Arts Queensland. ‘We got money for our first release. We had to word it correctly. You have to explain exactly what you want the money for. I said I’m a writer – it is hard work – it’s like doing a major essay at school. You are asking for one thing only so you have to supply a budget. It’s really a lot of hard work.’ But worth it in the end. Even with the grant, the band still partially funded their release. ‘We spent alone on this EP $20,000 of our money, plus other people’s money and time! You have to do it. It’s a bloody expensive hobby – we all have mortgages – I have a full time job – my work has an office in Sydney and Melbourne and I can work out of their databases.’ Flexibility makes an interesting schedule. Ben can gig and work at the same time. of course,

that doesn’t leave much time for partying or sleep. ‘We’ll travel through the night, go to the hotel, do the gig, and sometimes I’ll do a full day’s work the next day while the boys travel to the next city, and then fly to the next gig, work again do a gig – I’ve had to do it. I want to make sure that it all happens. ‘ ‘In this industry you are constantly learning. No one wants to help you, they just want money. We had a manager in King Mungi, and that made us go and learn about our business. We all learnt that someone has to look after the books – I took a real interest in that as well.’ Independent artists need business skills if they

are going to last in what can be a brutal market. ‘I think there are fewer artists staying independent. One of the things I love about this band is that we travel up and down the coast and return to places like Port Macquarie – we’ve been up there about 5 times just this year. My future plan is to target rural areas. We’ve been getting Triple J play, and Nova are adding it to their play list. What I really want to do is a series of town hall gigs in small towns.’

Ben Whitecross Band play the Hotel Great Northern on Thursday.

THE SOAPBOX MANDY NOLAN

Every five years the citizens of Australia are asked to fill in an excruciatingly detailed form called the Census. It’s basically a nationwide head count by the shepherd of his sheep. But ever since the creation of data bases and statisticians the powers that be have discovered they have a novel way of making mass generalisations about an entire nation as well as targetting untapped holes in the consumer market. Those well behaved amongst you would have sat down on Tuesday 8 August, census in hand and scribbled obediently. The back seat of the bus types would have had a little fun with it. When asked your ethnicity, it’s your chance to be anything from Egyptian to Croatian with just a dash of Kiwi. Of course, it’s also a wonderful time to improve your finances. The form actually asks you how much money you earnt last week. I was brought up never to ask those sorts of questions. According to my census, I pulled in $300,000 last week. I told them I was still on the dole, and I could refer to my occupations as ‘Drug Dealer’. When it requested birthplace, I just wrote ‘vagina’. One is also asked to recall where they were living when the last census occurred, and in an addition to the question, what they were wearing. I remember it well. A navy pair of trackie bottoms with white piping, flesh coloured knickers, imitation Ugg boots from Best and Less and a sweater I’d appliqued myself a la Tonia Todman of John Howard in the doggie position taking

Janette for a ride. The damn thing is so personal. It’s like a financial pap smear. The entire nation on it’s back, legs in the air with the government collecting our private details. Am I single, am I married, how much do I earn, can I wipe my own bottom? How many sexual partners have I had in the last five years? What’s my favourite position? (On the couch) Have I ever faked an orgasm, and if so was it with someone born in Australia? I was horrified. Why do they need to ask so many questions? The accompanying booklet provides cheery little stats that are sure to bring the average woman to her knees. For example, did you know that in 2001 there were approximately 350,000 more single females aged 18 years or over than single males ages 18 years or over? It’s depressing enough when you can’t pull a root, do we really need to know that it probably won’t ever happen? They promise confidentiality, but then ask for name and address. Apparently no personal information will be released to any government bodies. Yeah right, and I won’t peek at my Christmas presents or read my daughter’s diary. Right now all my personal information is sitting on my doorstep awaiting collection. I feel very protected. I’m testing their ‘non release’ of information. It’s a tad seditious, but I’ve listed ‘Osama Bin Laden’ as having a sleepover on census night. Let’s see how long before that knock on the door.

§ THE BUTLER DID ITts to We have ticke JOHN BUTLER AND THE

Fatherhood CD up FOR GRABS. JOHN’S ON Friday 1. Festival runs 1, 2 & 3 SEPTEMBER. TO be a contender email MANDYPOW@ECHO.NET .au with subject header ‘MAKE MY FATHERS DAY’.

There is something incredible about the work of Michael Leunig. It’s whimsical but it’s not contrived. It’s funny but it’s sad. It’s simple, but it’s profound. His drawings are poetic and his poetry is like a drawing. He has that remarkable ability of placing a compassionate hand on the shoulder of the common man and in a few quick strokes he’s managed to reveal a little something of the human condition. I don’t know how he does it. It’s never big show off stuff. It’s small. It’s quiet. It’s dark, but in a nice way. Every now and then two artists from totally different fields find they have what it takes to collaborate. ‘Billy the Rabbit’ is the genius progeny of singer/songwriter Gyan and Michael Leunig. Gyan has taken Leunig’s poetry and set it to music. Her voice

and composition echoes the qualities present in Leunig’s work. It’s an astonishing fit. The two were made for each other. Gyan’s voice wraaps itself like a tendril around the words framed in a melancholy melody. The poems are heartbreaking. I was in tears reading them. When I heard Gyan sing ‘Billy the Rabbit’, a throat chokingly great song that is just so ridiculously sad you have that peculiar feeling of wanting to laugh and cry at the same time. Oh my god. Billy the Rabbit is dead. He’s

found lying next to Sarah the guinea pig. The song is an aching lament. Much more touching than the stupid idiot James Blundell singing about some chick that dumped him. The Gyan/Leunig project features guest artists Paul Kelly, Tim Gaze (Tamam Shud, Morning of the Earth), James Cruickshank (The Cruel Sea), Cleis Pearce (McKenzie’s Theory), Thierry Fosmale (The Whitlams) and more. Presented as 18 beautiful and somewhat Beatlesque folk/pop songs and accompanied by a 48

page hard bound book of Leunig’s words and drawings, ‘Billy the Rabbit’ is an enchanting and original release. Leunig was so inspired by what Gyan had done with his words, he penned this little letter: Dear Gyan, What a glorious fabulous and inspiring wonderment I have found upon my returning home from a weary week on the road. I’m completely enchanted, honoured and amazed by what you have done with my poems. I hear my own words afresh… mirrored back to me by an angel! This is a healing miracle. Bless you, thank you… With all good wishes. Michael Leunig. ‘Billy the Rabbit’ will be officially launched as part of the Melbourne Writers Festival on Saturday 2 September, with a performance by Gyan, accompanied by Michael Leunig drawing live at the Malthouse Theatre. This beautifully crafted CD is something you’ll want in your collection. Delicately made, it’s an exquisite package. Buy one. No buy two. It’s the ultimate gift.

cultural and social event that celebrates the roles of fathers in our everchanging society. More to be announced next week.

CLASSIC FESTIVAL! FATHERHOOD – THE JOHN BUTLER EXPERIENCE Ever since we mentioned that we were running the John Butler ticket giveaway I have been inundated with emails. Not just entries, but people begging, pleading with me to let them in. One girl told me she was a Uni student who’s broke and her partner is feeling neglected and they need a fun night out together. Another woman told me that she ovulated on a full moon once after a John Butler gig and conceived her child, who she named ‘Butler’. I don’t think that’s a very empowering name for a kid. Kind of like being

Lismore may be the rainbow region but we are the fountain of festivals. Every year a few more festivals find their way into our program. In fact we have so many festivals I can’t even keep up. In the space of 5 weeks we would have had the Splendour in the Grass Festival, The Writers Festival, The Fatherhood Festival and this weekend, from Friday to Sunday we have the Bangalow Music Festival at the Bangalow A & I Hall. I love a festival but man, it’s getting out of control. I am thinking of creating a new festival all of my own. Maybe we should canvas for submissions. I did get an email about Music Oz running an independent Music festival here next year, there’s talk of

will experience a concert with renowned artists demonstrating and talking about their instruments. Bangalow A&I Hall from Friday to Sunday. Open those ears and placate the spirit.

DON’T DREAM IT’S OVER Hey Now Hey Now – I’m only one step ahead of you, and that’s just probably because I spent six months in a leaky boat, trying to keep afloat and what about the weather? Hey, talk about four seasons in one day. The Finn Brothers have created a song for every occasion. Looking like they went wild in Mum’s buto makeup and had a run on the Phaff as Split Enz they have created songs that define generations. They’ve been doing it for decades. Enjoy the nostalgia of the 70’s the 80’s the 90’s and more, right up to the emotional day when they told the world, or

Toowoomba. My heart goes out to him. Having grown up in Kingaroy, in the shadow of the Darling Downs, I know the creeping horror of country Queensland. I have a friend that refers to the population of my home town as ‘ghosts in thongs’. The sad thing is, I grew up thinking Toowoomba was a big city. Steve was born to be a musician. In fact he’s been playing the piano since he was four. He’s the son of journalist and musician Noel Russell and extraordinary jazz and classical pianist Peg Russell. Bring his sublimely talented sister Sharney into the picture and I’ll tell you that’s a family sing along I’d like to hear. I’d be the dickhead in the corner playing the spoons. Steve leads his own quintet, and is presently a member of the Jack Thorncraft Trio, Jim Kelly’s Thrillseekers, Sambamenco, and the Sharny Russell Band. He has performed with a huge list of

called mechanic. It’s also a tad creepy. There’s the guy who’s offered to shave his testicles. What I’m trying to say is people don’t like John Butler. They adore him. John Butler is very much the pioneer of what became a roots movement throughout Australia, encouraging audiences to get back to some of the simpler components of music – guitar with soul. It’s always about politics. John Butler makes the politics personal. He made himself a small fortune selling CDs at his shows, and to give back he runs the JB Seed Project. This Project offers aspiring artists from all genres the chance for funding for innovative ideas. John Butler is also a dedicated father. He plays the A & Hall on Friday 1 September. Tickets are available at Barebones and The Urban in Bangalow. The Fatherhood Festival is a rich, passionate,

a Bangalow comedy festival. I am thinking of a bikini waxing festival. We could have stalls and different techniques. Then there’s a colonic irrigation festival. Think of the sheer release! OK. I know it’s silly but its worth a go. I love the creativity and the dynamism that’s happening, it is just an extraordinary amount of festivals compared to somewhere like Grafton that has one. The Jacaranda. Nice and simple. Anyway, this weekend we have a Music Festival which presents an aural feast of 9 concerts over three days. Legendary Australian composer, Peter Sculthorpe described the Festival as ‘the most exciting festival outside a capital city that I have ever attended.’ Also for kids, the Festival is offering an Educational Concert on Friday 18 August at 11am. For only $3 – less than the half the price of a cinema ticket – children

Australia at least that they were retiring. The Crowded House/Split Enz concept band hit the stage at the Beach Hotel on Saturday at 9.30pm and Sunday at 4pm.

Australian jazz artists, as well as Chrissie Amphlett, Richie Cole, Georgie Fame, Chuck Findlay, Gerry Mulligan and Nancy Wilson. See him on Thursday at the Winsome.

RUSSELLING UP A PIANO

SWEET SCARLETT

Steve Russell returns and appears at the Winsome this week in the glamourous Piano Bar to tinkle the keys and trip the light fantastic. God knows what that saying actually means. How does one trip the light? Is it an LSD related event, or simply a stupendous stumble over a lamp? Perhaps we’ll never know. Perhaps it doesn’t matter. On with the show they screamed!

Band, the evening will showcase stunning, award winning songwriting. Free, 8pm, The Backroom, Friday.

THE JOY OF HANS LOVEJOY Young Mr Lovejoy and his tantalising trio have been turning up the gas in venues around the town lately. With a host of stylish covers, ranging from jazz, to swing to pop it’s going to get those toes a tapping. This is groovy jazz with a contemporary feel. It’s like a trip to Melbourne without the travel. Hans and the Lovejoys feature Hans Lovejoy on double bass, Phil from Fracas and William. (We’re not sure what William is doing. Possibly keys. You never know.) Saturday night at Why Not from 9pm.

multi-instrumentalist, he does beat-boxing (vocal drums), plays 12 string guitar like it’s some kind of funky sitar, 6 string guitar and lap-steel slide at the same time as the Slide-Didge (which is an innovative Trombonelike Didgeridoo made from timber) and stomp-box. But it isn’t his obsession with instruments that has attracted so much attention to his show. It is his heartfelt voice, lyrics and engaging, honest conversational style evoking the inspiring moods of Michael Franti that people are drawn to. He is the studio recording his new EP, ‘Burning The Candle.’ It includes many special guest performers including Paulie B from ARIA award winning band, George, on Bass, the incredible Lisa Hunt from New York on gospel vocals, Triple J Hottest 100 artist, Trapazoid and many more‌ Although he’s becoming known for singing about political & environmental events with uplifting social commentary, he isn’t shy of singing good love songs. You should hear his soulstirring lapsteel slide guitar interpretation of U2’s ‘All I Want is You.’ He plays the Rails on Friday.

experimenting and singing into a guitar delay pedal using the looping function. By working with the pedal Mr Percival could practise vocal techniques, like pitch and tone, with an immediate response. This perpetuated a new experience for him and a new sound was born. Performing his solo show ‘Out of the Loop’ soon followed and audiences were mesmerized. This man is loopy. He performs his one man show at the Byron Community Centre on Friday and Saturday 1 & 2 September. If you want to catch up with Mr Percival, join in his September Ensembleous Spontaneous Vocaleous at the Studio at the Byron Community Centre at 6.30pm on Tuesdays. Singing

in a circle: everyone can join in. For more information phone Darren 0406 628 173.

NOTHING LIKE A BIT OF FOURPLAY

STEVE RUSSELL WINSOME THURSDAY

NATHAN KAYE RAILS FRIDAY

SEEDS OF CHANGE With your eyes closed, you get absorbed in the driving heart-beat of the stomp-box, the eastern melodic rhythms of the guitar, the droning of the Didgeridoo, and then soaring above comes Nathan Kaye’s rich vocals. With your eyes open, you realise all of this is being skilfully woven by one person. People always rave about his innovative blend of beat-boxing (vocal drumming) and Slide-Didge (a trombone-like Didgeridoo). Last year Nathan did two blistering tours of England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales playing at some world renowned festivals such as Glastonbury Festival, and Scotland’s Edinburgh Festival in the world famous Spiegel Tent, not to mention receiving standing ovations at the last Woodford Folk Festival. As a

FourPlay started life as a classical string quartet. Inspired by the Kronos, Balanescu and Brodsky Quartets’ blurring of the boundaries between classical and rock music, they began playing rock covers. In 1995 they bought pickups and distortion pedals, and transformed themselves into an electric string quartet. In 1998 they released their first album, Catgut Ya’ Tongue? In April 2000 they released their second full-length album, The Joy Of... to glowing media coverage. FourPlay’s double remix album Digital Manipulation came out in 2001 to rave reviews across the nation. FourPlay’s live shows are unlike any other string quartet in the world. The energy and sound created is more like that of a rock band, as is their on-stage presentation and banter. This FourPlay gig at The SoundLounge is an affair not to be missed as it is part of their latest CD launch tour. FourPlay’s repertoire includes arrangements of diverse artists such as the Beastie Boys, Radiohead, Nina Simone, Jeff Buckley, Charles Mingus, Depeche Mode and Metallica together with a dash of contemporary classical music, and their own originals, inspired by wide array of diverse music such as dub, klezmer, electronica, post-rock, improv and avantgarde. They play the Beach Hotel on Thursday.

WITH DENZIL How does that provincial proverb go? You can take the boy out of the Bay‌ but you can’t take him for long, because he’ll soon return with a crate full of fresh tracks for your audio pleasure. Something like that anyway. Yep, DJ Noodles is back. Since inducing cusses from the lips, and sweat from the brows of several removal men, when he moved his extensive record collection to Sydney, he’s been busy. Burrowed deep in the studio, Noodles, and his partner in rhyme and beats, Noel Boogie have been tunnelling their sound into the OZ underground. Now their beats are breaking the surface with tracks such as ‘Spiro’ receiving JJJ airplay. GrooveTherapy has even adopted it as its promo sting. Noodles’ forte is Hip hop, funk, b-boy breaks, or what Noel refers to as a ‘round and brown’ sound. ‘Essentially it’s sample based production,’ Noodles says of their beat factory, â€˜â€Śparticularly because we write hip hop and there’s still so much you can do creatively in that medium. We’ve been working with a few vocalists. One track with Alex from Good Buddha will

hopefully be out on Invada later in the year. And we have just cut a track with our next door neighbour who also happens to be a dope singer.’ The girl next door with a pair of lungs to boot. Fancy that.

All Noodles’ production is piggy-backed on residencies at Chinese Laundry, the Loft, Bump, DustTones, Break Inn, Kink and Fringe bar. Undoubtedly Noodles will now be finding fewer opportunities to suck a wiggle from his ‘unhealthy obsession with the Mi Goreng 2 minute

Noodle range available nationwide at Woolworths’. (He ensures me this is not an endorsement). So how did Noodles get a PHD in mixing more flavours than an ice cream shop? ‘It’s the usual clichĂŠ, but I’ve been obsessed with music since I was a kid. I played guitar from 5 years of age and have been collecting music since my first pay cheque. It just enriches my life, not necessarily performing or making music. Just listening is my greatest pleasure.’ His musical training comprises watching Professor Mark Walton play at Goodbar in the 90’s, and living with Dr Dave Basek. Noodles has been on a boomerang’s trajectory since ‘91 when he moved to Bellingen from Sydney. The next step from there was obvious. The Bay. Why? ‘Because there was, and still is an amazing electronic music scene, heaps of good DJs that also happen to be good people, and it’s a beautiful place.’ However, for his love of music in a flat black form he gravitated back to Sydney to take advantage of the record stores before they go the way of the Dodo. Noodles describes the move, ‘Sydney certainly has a few more opportunities in some areas, but as general lifestyle I’m not feeling it, I prefer the

north coast.’ So while he’s here Noodles will spin at PLAY on Thursday with Lindemon & Jmez. All of whom are ex-local DJs. Beyond the reunion vibe he plays on Saturday at Future Fling. ‘I try to come back as regularly as possible just to stay in touch and yeah I do miss it.’ Naturally, with so many standout memories like; ‘this one time I was playing at a certain Byron Bay nightclub when I happened to notice 12 police officers and a nice doggie who were there to respond to a noise complaint.’ Or ‘a night at the Carpark when I saw local DJ Uncle Bulli trying to escape from an overenthusiastic groupie by running out of the DJ booth and concussing himself in the process‌ golden!’ IF YOU WANT TO CHECK NOODLES IN ACTION CHECK HIM ONLINE AT WWW.MYSPACE.COM/ NOODLESDJ. BETTER STILL, CHECK HIM LIVE AND DIRECT AT FOR FUNK’S SAKE AT PLAY (THURSDAY), OR FUTURE FLING ON SATURDAY. THAT’S A RAP.

The Fatherhood Festival is inviting artists to submit works for display at the Bangalow A&I Hall over the weekend of 1,2,3 September. It can be photography, paint, mixed media, printmaking, drawing or 3D. The work is themed around ‘Fathers and Families, all shapes, all sizes.’ My favourite portrait is of an absent father. It’s just a mower sitting lonely in the garden with a space where the man used to be. All works must be for sale and entries are required at the Waywood Gallery by 28 August.

Most of us, at one time or another, have stood at the precipice of a decision and surveyed the scene beyond, intrigued or enticed by the view that is obscured. What is it that compels us to step off into the unknown, or into fear, longing, destiny? Is it a leap of faith? And if so, faith in what? Cape Byron Playback Theatre company invites you to an evening of stories exploring why we take that leap of faith and where we end up. Come and join Cape Byron Playback Theatre at the Drill Hall on Saturday at 7.30pm. Entry by donation.

TAURUS: Opinions won’t be heard, heeded or appreciated this week so don’t bother – just enjoy what’s on offer. When those who didn’t listen to your wise advice come to you with their problems, resist the impulse to say I told you so. Take it as a compliment and give them a hand. GEMINI: You’ll have to adapt that high voltage Gemini energy so it’s compatible with more conventional appliances or you could burn others out this week – not to mention frying your own wires. Make a point of not

promising anything you mightn’t be able to follow up on. CANCER: Present portents are ragingly favourable. But are they struggling to fill up your cup with love and money because it’s already chokka with fossilised security props and ancient attitudes? Abundance needs space, Crabs – clear it a landing pad if inundation’s what you want this week. LEO: This is your dazzling Majesty’s prime time – birth week of Napoleon, Madonna, screen bad boy Sean Penn and witty Mae West (When I’m good I’m very, very good - but when I’m bad, I’m better). You’ll be infuriating, push people’s buttons – and be so adorably funny they’ll still love you. VIRGO: Leo Venus escalates relationship heat this week, wanting increasingly demonstrative expressions of affection – and sulking if she doesn’t get it. Sure you’re busy, and yes they’re demanding – but even so, neglecting the luurve sector isn’t good for anyone. LIBRA: This week has the rampant blessing of the cosmic party gods. They’re in an

SAGITTARIUS: This is the week that ancient Romans celebrated Diana the huntress, that independent, outdoorsy Sagittarian deity who lived life entirely on her own terms, unaffected by peer pressure or bad press – your own best course of action right now. CAPRICORN: While you consider it treason to put feelings before reason, this week has a low boiling point and won’t suffer in silence. Conducting its volatile energies into a productive symphony will be an interesting exercise, since everyone else has their own

But when its glass is half full of generous gestures, great entertainment, romantic stimulation and excellent business connections, does that really matter?

Movie§ Reviews

FAVOUR ITE MOVI E QUOTATION : ALMOST FAMOUS

MIAMI VICE Two pampered pussycats, Colin Farrell and Jamie Foxx, leave their millionaires’ ghetto in Beverly Hills to play hardnosed cops fighting the drug cartels – this is Hollywood with a brain explosion. It’s also celebrity law enforcement at its most unreal and clichÊd, begging the question

sunglasses. Camera work is fabulous, but too often you feel you are watching a glossy ad that promises sex and and like wow coolness if you buy the product that turns out to be Tia Maria or double-strength toilet paper. Near the end, Farrell calls the once majestic Gong Li and asks ‘what the fuck’s going

and menace. Lively is an odd word for something called Dead Man’s Chest, but lively it is. Johnny Depp could have hit paydirt just by repeating himself as Capt. Jack, the saltiest pirate on the high seas. How easy it would be to let the dreads, the mascara and the gold teeth do the acting for him. Instead, Depp builds on the role, investing his pirate prince with quick wit, erotic mischief and a sneaky sense of decency. Depp’s Capt. Jack is a classic comic creation and also the most subversive hero ever in a Disney movie.

PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN Dead Man’s Chest does more than improve on the original, it pumps out the bilge and offers a fresh start. Returning director Gore Verinski and the screenwriters have wisely taken a cue from Depp and learned how to play fast and loose with the material.

Lester Bangs: You CANNOT make friends with the rock stars. That’s what’s important. If you’re a rock journalist – ďŹ rst, you will never get paid much. But you will get free records from the record company. And they’ll buy you drinks, you’ll meet girls, they’ll try to y you places for free, offer you drugs... I know. It sounds great. But they are not your friends. These are people who want you to write sanctimonious stories about the genius of the rock stars, and they will ruin rock and roll and strangle everything we love about it.

TEN CANOES

on?’ It’s exactly what I was wondering, for it’s the sort of flick that it is too easy to daydream through. Inevitably, it comes to a blazing shoot-out (yawn), but the boys survive it unscathed and look in fine fettle for their next awesome adventure. What an ordeal. John Campbell

Keira Knightley as Elizabeth and Orlando Bloom as Will, her intended, are finally asked to do more than stand around and look pretty and oh so pleased with themselves. The film also boasts one of the best villains: Davy Jones (Bill Nighy), the squid-faced captain of the Flying Dutchman who bargains for the souls of those he captures. Davy and his crew of the undead have lived underwater so long they look like something out of an aquarium. Who knows how the computer wizards accomplished the visual miracles – just wait till you see the Kraken, a giant sea monster who sucks entire ships down into Davy’s locker – but Nighy’s performance as the buccaneer Jack calls “fish face� brims over with mirth

Trivia

SHALL WE DANCE

• About $4,000 worth of jewellery worn by Susan Sarandon during the filming of the movie was stolen and recovered at a murder scene in Winnipeg on 4 July 2003. According to news sources, the jewellery was stolen from a vehicle on the movie set and found in a downtown hotel room. • The filming location was moved to Winnipeg from Toronto because of the SARS “scareâ€? in early 2003.

ĂžĂ€ÂœÂ˜ĂŠ ˆ˜i“>Ăƒ

Australia’s vitriolic ‘history wars’ have made it inadvisable to express a less than rapturous opinion of this movie for fear of being branded a genocidal fascist. Set before our mob arrived, it follows a young man who, on a hunting expedition with his elders, is told a story, passed on through millennia, about the ancestors. Native dialogue is subtitled and time shifts between the two eras are marked by alternating from B/W to colour. Narrator David Gulpilil states twice that it is ‘my and not your [ie the white audience’s] story’, but director and co-writer Rolf de Heer seems at pains to show that the characters’ motivations, desires, fears, foibles and humour (including a fart joke) are identical to ours. This approach helps us identify with the people and its ultimate triumph is in highlighting our common humanity. The photography is spectacularly beautiful, but Gulpilil’s sometimes gratuitous English voice-over is delivered in a Thomas The Tank Engine style that needlessly accentuates the gaucheness of the non-professional actors and, more damaging, gives proceedings an infantile feel, thus shunting the tone of the film uncomfortably close to the patronising. Idealistic and empowering (hopefully), but pedestrian and flawed by cuteness. John Campbell. 1 9ĂŠ ,‡ " / "

IN THE RED belongilbeachcafĂŠ

Ho r a t i o Bi t e m a r k THE WEEKEND THE MYOCUM clubhouse was having its crypt drained by noisy pumps – we had burrowed too deep and met the Tyagarah swamp water table – a chap travelled into the countryside for another chap’s birthday. I fired up the Bugatti and my charming consort Lavinia and I headed into the wilds of Mullumbimby Rivulet Upper, where William Wordsworth III, an old school chum, and his good lady wife Lillian, also known as the Princess of Darkness, put on a splendid brunch at their country estate of Necromanica. The Wordsworths were enamoured of the dark arts and their interest manifested in the form of ritualistic hand-thrown pottery and occasionally an odd poltergeist or two in their neighbour’s banana plantation. It should be said that William is no relation to the tepid poet of the Lakes District, which is only to his advantage. After the ritual sacrifice of an eggplant with a sharp sword on a granite altar, we toasted our chap’s good health with a few cases of Krug Brut and orange juice squeezed fresh by Lavinia’s valets from her extensive orchard. By lazy degrees the rest of the revellers arrived – sumi-e artists, senior counsels and gourd wranglers – and we took to the croquet pitch before attacking the food. Under some perverse urge the Wordsworths had set their pitch in a raked white pebble Zen garden studded with boulders and bonsai trees. Progress was difficult, the pebbles checking any momentum with unrelenting severity. Several powerful hits shattered balls against the unyielding rocks, sending shrapnel dangerously close to eyes and wine glasses, and the ultimate act of bastardry, the unfriendly roquet, was rendered useless by the opponent’s mistreated ball travelling a metre away at the most. After an hour of failing to get past the third hoop we agreed to abandon the game, Ditzy Minx injudiciously kicking the terra cotta image of an ancient gardener in her frustration, releasing a hayfever sprite which plagued her sinuses for the rest of the day.

If any man has drunk a little too deeply from the cup of physical pleasure; if he has spent too much time at his desk that should have been spent asleep; if his fine spirits have become temporarily dulled; if he finds the air too damp, the minutes too slow, and the atmosphere too heavy to withstand; if he is obsessed by a fixed idea which bars him from any freedom of thought: if he is any of these poor creatures, we say, let him be given a good pint of amber-flavored chocolate... and marvels will be performed.

That ordeal done with, we returned to table on the marble terrace overlooking the lake where, it is said, a plesioaur trawls the bottom among the ruins of a drowned monastery. To the strains of the Palmwoods Spliffmeister Chamber Quartet, we tucked into a feast of scrambled eggs au parmesan on grilled olive and thyme bread, sausages made from the Wordsworths’ own pampered porkers, bacon rashers, grilled mushrooms and croissants with cherry jam, accompanied by the Main Arm Village Planning Debacle Cabernet Sauvignon, its bouquet redolent of legal challenges and just a hint of tangelo. The Scandinavian surrealist Thelma Thorsdottir then brought out individual butterfly cakes filled with mescalin-laced macadamia cream and topped with a candle. Most of us successfully lit the candle and sang the requisite ditty to our host but Milo Frankfurt, the import agent, set fire to his silk jacket and had to be hastily extinguished with a magnum of Krug. ‘Joy and survival’ were the themes of the conversation and most of us fell down, some literally, on the side of joy, though it is hard to separate these conjoined twins who so much depend on each other. In asides the senior counsel lamented the difficulty of getting staff to properly detail a Porsche, the hotelier confessed her addiction to daytime TV, and Lillian revealed she had been channelling the spirits of deceased Japanese empresses.

SOME YEARS AGO my friend Kate announced her decision to throw out all of her food magazines more than twelve months old. I was firstly shocked at her ruthlessness and then impressed; for several seconds I considered the possibility of doing the same thing myself before abandoning the notion in terror. What if I threw away something vitally important, cutting-edge, fascinating? The minor fact that I rarely dip into the really dated ones – and my collection spans about twenty years of mostly ‘Gourmet Travellers’ and ‘Vogue Entertainings’ – I decided was beside the point; the larger one – that every time I am required to move house the weight of all the boxes of all those magazines is hernia-inducing – as easily dismissed. Are these not, after all, records of not merely culinary but also more generally of historical and sociological interest? Thinking about Kate had sparked the memory: out of curiosity I hauled out a selection of very early magazines to see if indeed they contained anything of value. And of course became immediately engrossed – and simultaneously amused and horrified. The photography, for a start! Australia is now widely considered as producing the best food magazines in the world and especially with regard to food photography – something to do with our quality of light, I once read. In 1987 we were a long way away from that accolade, with food often barely resembling itself, and often suspended in a lake of some sauce, vegetables peeled and sculpted into polite shapes, and a dubious brownish hue to everything. Many recipes are as dubious. In the request-a-recipe section of one magazine someone wrote in wanting a dish they had tried at an upmarket Manly hotel, ‘a mixture of dried fruits and sauteed meats made into a roll (and) covered with a layer of dough and spinach’.... as if that wasn’t enough, it was finished off with a creamy orange sauce spiced with Pernot. Fruit of course did abound in cooking fifteen-odd years ago – Apricot Chicken and Quail in Port were the suggested stuff of Dinner Party menus before people realised that all that cream, sweetness and cornflour-thickening was turning savouries into desserts, apart from being bad for you. Ingredients folded through bechamel were popular – especially when, how glamorous, they were then piled inside a warmed croissant. Endless litanies of ingredients were another hallmark, and dishes requiring nine stages of preparation. On the whole, though, most of the recipes still stand up – some are utter gems (a divine-sounding Golden Parsnip Cake I plan to make soon, or a Warm Mandarin Syrup Cake, or Prawn and Sweet Potato Flat Cakes), and many still manage to give me ideas. Even less able am I to throw away my home-made recipe books, composed when very young. Botany Books, Croxley Mapping Books and Tudor Exercise Books (feint-ruled) were divided into earnest categories, numbered pages and sad Contents lists up the front. One of the books I even titled, hopefully, ‘Recipes For Eager Cooks’. Most of their recipes I have never tried out – some are bordering on the grotesque. Seafarer’s Fish Hot Pot consists of one pound of fish fillets cut into small pieces, floured and browned in hot oil before being removed from the pan. Chopped onion is added to the oil and cooked till tender before throwing in black olives, lemon juice and a 16 ounce tin of Heinz Baked Beans and when this sublime sauce has simmered for a while the fish is readmitted. The mind boggles. Golden Glow Casserole is simply too embarrassing to describe – let alone Tuna Square whose topping consists of All Bran and melted margarine... And yet, and yet. These same trusty little tomes yield such treasures as Apple Gingerbread and Walnut Meringues. They also ensure, as the magazines do, that I will never run out of ideas, or recipes. They assure me that, with regard to the vital and ever-exciting business of cooking and food, infinity exists.

Snuggled away off Bay Lane is this great little cafÊ where the food is not only fantastic but fantastic value as well! Start the day with housemade coconut bread and lemon curd, or splash out on Krazy Dave’s breakfast which includes eggs, roasted sweet potato, avocado, caramelised lemon, wilted spinach, tomato relish and char-grilled pumpkin bread. For lunches there are lavash wraps, housemade burgers, super salads and perfect pastas. This must also be the only place in town where all standard coffees cost only $2. How delightful is that?

Tree disputes

You will believe an MP can surf

The NSW government is set to update the process of resolving disputes about neighbourhood trees from antiquated laws set up 600 years ago to a simpler, less expensive scheme. The proposed bill will be in addition to new mediation programs that have already been introduced to address disputes such as noise and fences. Tough new penalties accompany the new laws, with fines up to $110,000 for failure to comply with a court order made under the bill. The more modern law is proposed to provide a simpler remedy for tree disputes when the preferred Greens MP Ian Cohen catches a big one in Bali. It’s a tough life. route of mediation fails.

Postpone the passage of the Aboriginal Land Rights Act Bill implementation of the legislation and until landowners have been informed and given the opportunity to provide input into this process. ‘The federal government has not consulted with Aboriginal landowners on significant aspects of the legislation. Minister Brough claims that these amendments have been negotiated over the past nine years, however new amendments were added to the bill

just before its introduction – the 99-year lease provision is one such amendment.’ The proposed lease provisions will effectively take away the rights of the traditional owners to decide who and what takes place on their ancestral lands for 99 years. Companies, services and non-traditional owners will be able to lease land from the government rather than obtaining consent from the

landowners on a case-by-case basis. ‘In effect, the landowners will lose control of their land for four generations. The provision for extension of the 99-year leases means that the land may never be returned to my people should this experiment fail,’ said Mr Calma. ‘I don’t think 99-year leases will provide that economic opportunity.’

Sports Roundup with Alex McAuley Rep netballers continue their winning ways Geckos lead the charge to NSM finals

The Brunswick/Byron 14 year representative netball team put on an outstanding performance to win second place in the State Age Netball Championships held in Newcastle recently.

Brunswick/Byron netballers have once again performed outstandingly at the recent State Age Netball Championships held in Newcastle. After a very successful season on the carnival circuit, the 14 year division three team enjoyed a very successful weekend of netball finishing the tournament in second place; their coaches Jo Lowe and Lesley Moir were very proud of them. The icing on the cake was the selection of two girls into

the elite Tall Players squad: Avril Robinson and Georgina Tait were selected from over 1,500 players throughout NSW. The 2005 15 years division two winning team also performed well carrying a number of injuries. Both Moira Ryan and Karly Moir put in solid performances; their coaches Narelle Anderton and the first ever male coach Steve Hansford were pleased with the results. The 13 years team blew

everyone away finishing sixth. Coach Sandra Hansford and her trainee Kimberly Stanford couldn’t name a standout player from the squad as they all performed brilliantly. Great things are expected from this group in 2007. Nominations for 12 to 17 years players and coaches will be out soon for the 2007 season. Twilight netball will start in early September so start getting your team organised. Details in The Echo shortly.

to each pack hammering at each other. The second half saw more of the same with the highlight being prop Liam Holm showing he has a future in the centres as long as the field is only twenty yards long. Special mention was made of players’ player Andrew Bond, centre Connor Crichton and fullback Rob Caldwell. Byron took the bonus point out of the 24-nil victory, and if Evans Head lost to Range this will put Byron in second place on the ladder. A win for Evans Head will see Byron finish third for

where Greg completed the catch. Geckos stalwart Pete Wynne Moylan bounded round the field like a wallaby with a pack of domestic dogs on its tail and snared a fine running catch, then backed up with the ball to have Slats caught behind and give his team the early edge. Rich moved to 29 with his third huge six and looked like dragging Eureka into the game when the crafty Derek slipped in a Yorker that left his stumps looking like the work site of a dodgy weekend logging crew. Hank and Matt put on some fast runs just before the break, and at four for 71 the match could still go either way. After drinks it was like an exhibition of the great masters: the Ted and Ed show. The chirpy Ted scurried in like a greyhound with a rectal implant, and from the other end the Witch Doctor teased and tantalised like a well trained Geisha. Both grabbed three wickets to

Little As signing on

The season Make sure you come out in runs from September to force to support the Bay in March and children are its run towards the grand grouped by age. final.

Finals time for Byron Bay rugby union Matt Alexander The Byron Bay rugby union team made its last bus trip of the year down to Iluka on Saturday where the team put in a performance that took some of the grey out of the coach’s hair. The first fifteen minutes saw the Byron backline tear Iluka apart as the forwards gave clean and fast ball phase after phase. With coach Warren Fisher’s pre-game speech boiling down to put up or shut up, the whole squad showed it is ready for the finals. By the time Iluka woke up Byron had 19 points on the board and the game settled down

Brian Mollet According to Mick O’Regan cricket is a game that ‘mirrors life, a slow process punctuated by bits of pleasure and despair’. Social cricketers know that it is the other way round, and life in fact mirrors cricket because the rules are incomprehensible, the goals obscure and the team with the most bastards usually win. Game seven of the Nick Shand memorial cricket series saw the tree-hugging eco-warriors of Eureka Grass take on corporate superteam the Geckos. Eureka skipper Hank won the toss and was happy to bat in the near perfect mild conditions. Rich and Sam started well for Eureka, showing equal proficiency with the delicate finesse and the resounding thump, moving the score along to 20. Like an old Chevrolet, new ball bowler Glenn burned lots of fuel but kept things lively; he got one to bounce on Sam who could only fend the ball to gully

Byron Bay Surf Club’s Kurt Tutt (pictured above) easily defended his Brunswick River kayak marathon title on Sunday. Tutt won by 4 minutes in the open K1 race over the 18km race from Brunswick to Mullumbimby and back. Byron Surf Club had 20 paddlers in the race, several on two person kayaks. Tutt was the only paddler in the field with the power to hold on to these faster craft, and despite being dropped a number of times, used his superior speed and endurance to catch the leading double kayaks again. Kurt does not get to race the kayaks over the marathon course very often as he concentrates on the Men’s Health ski races where he finished second overall in last year’s series. Byron was well represented with the first four kayaks across the line all being members of the club, which shows their preseason surf work is paying off. Brooke Yopp won the U/14 girls ski section in a promising first race.

bring down the innings like a Beirut housing estate, the shell shocked Eurekans mustering a paltry 89. Like the New Zealand flag the Geckos have been missing a few stars lately, but with the return of Craig, Matt and Greg to the team list and more form than the census office they look the team to beat in this year’s series. Dan tried his best and picked up the only wicket for Eureka as Craig rattled up 30 unbeaten runs, then the stylish Matt joined Glenn to run down the total like a dazzled cane toad with a massive 16 overs to spare. Eureka will now have to beat the determined Left Bankers to snare fourth spot for the semi finals, and the Geckos will fill first or second depending on their clash with the troublesome Main Armers. This week the Mullum Driftins take on Main Arm in a match that is sure to stretch the boundaries of polite interaction.

Sports Roundup with Alex McAuley Young Mullum athlete wins USA scholarship Bruns Valley soccer Another Mullumbimby born athlete is making tracks on the running circuit as Ross Ridgewell (pictured right) has recently been awarded an athletics scholarship at the University of Georgia in the USA. Ross starting his athletics training with local coach Robyn Wright before going to study at the University of Canberra where he was coached by Dick Telford. After missing out on the Commonwealth Games, Athletics Australia coach Sean Crichton took Ross and a few other rising stars to the USA where his talent was recognised and he was awarded his scholarship. Ross’s mother Jill Ridgewell said that this is an excellent opportunity for Ross, who started his semester this week. ‘He will be studying for a Bachelor of Commerce majoring in accounting and continue his 800 metres training with coach Dave Hartman,’ said Jill. ‘The scholarship will be reviewed after 12 months and hopefully it will be extended to three years.’

Rams face tough run up to finals series The Great Northern Hotel Rams entertained the home crowd last weekend with some magnificent passages of play against a desperate Lismore Thistles team which is facing almost certain relegation from Premier division. The 6-3 final score flattered the opposition as the Rams had many more scoring opportunities that either resulted in near misses or bungles in front of goal. Despite the Rams being totally in control for the vast majority of the match, This-

tles were not going down without a fight resulting in several yellow cards being issued. Unfortunately, some Byron players were on the receiving end which may prove costly with some tough games coming up. The backs were rock solid in defence, while the midfield, led by captain Shaun Packham, controlled the game and fed some great passes onto the speedy flankers and front line. This result takes the Rams one step closer to becoming minor

The victories keep on coming for Brunswick Valley Soccer Club with comprehensive wins this week for thirds, fourths and fifths. The thirsty thirds outclassed a hard working Nimbin Headers outfit by 5-1, with the opening goal coming from controversial striker Mitya Vibert on his return to fitness. An inspirational game from nimble winger Jason Loewenthal had the opposition struggling to contain his probing runs and he was rewarded for his efforts by claiming the second goal. He was well supported on the right by the excellent Adam Mangleson, who did not put a foot wrong all afternoon. Nimbin pulled one back after the break before freescoring striker Dean Treveton hammered in two superb goals to make it 4-1. A late goal from Mark Stephens capped off a great afternoon for him as he had previously bagged a hat-trick in the fab fourths 5-1 demolition of Richmond Rovers. Goals from Jake Duffey and man of the match Ray Musgrave put the fourths into second spot on the ladder. The fighting fifths extended their recent run of form with a 3-0 win over Rovers. Two goals from Jerome Brecard and a belter from Lucas Mott grabbed the points, although a big share of the credit must go to Fritz who was outstanding.

Lesley’s last Council Roundup on page 13 reveals that some of our local representatives and bureaucrats were less than enthusiastic in the set-up of the new public access times before council meetings. It shows too much contempt for those who elected them and/or pay their wages. ■■■■For those wondering about the rescission motion on the canning of the draft Byron Bay LEP – Mayor Jan Barham deferred it until the meeting of March 22 because she felt it was unfair to vote on it with Crs Tucker and Kestle absent. The rescission motion is unlikely to get up now that Cr Peter Westhe-

imer is putting his weight behind a shirewide LEP. What seems to be getting lost in the debate is an appreciation of the hard graft many community members put in over a number of years to get any planning mechanism at all in place to temper the speed and nature of development in the Bay and surrounds. The Echo still believes that due process has been stuffed by factional interests. â– â– â– â– As to the caravan park takeover, minister Tony Kelly has postponed the meeting with our mayor and acting GM Brett Lee until this coming Friday. Councillors will get a look at some of the

The Echo is very sad to say goodbye to deputy editor Lesley Patterson (seen here with farewell bracelet) who, after some nine long years toiling in the drudgeworks, has discovered there is life beyond council meetings and is off to explore it. We wish Lesley happy adventures and thank her for her wonderful company and her dedication to investigating the details of town planning issues (which would have rendered the less hardy comatose).

background to the debacle in a business paper this week. ■■■■You’ll learn from Kerry Collinson’s sad letter on page 9 that unrestrained dogs are still killing off much-loved domestic stock in the Shire. While some of the dogs may be wild – and how did they get that way in the first place? – others are family pets allowed to roam at night. Even the smallest fluffy dog can turn savage and inflict damage in a pack – Backlash has seen it done – and it is criminal behaviour to let your dog wander at night, attacking not only livestock but also wildlife, including koalas. ■■■■It is fairly common to see cars at night with only one working headlight but it was a bit of a surprise to see one navigating the darkness on Left Bank Road with just a
