Only $400,000 in developer contributions for Becton as

North Beach gets the nod Michael McDonald NSW planning minister Frank Sartor last Wednesday gave the green light to Becton Property Group’s controversial 117-unit, 290 bedroom North Beach stage one proposal for the 89 hectare Byron Bay Beach Resort site. On December 20 last year Mr Sartor announced he was assessing the proposal himself under new legislation rather than leaving it with Byron Shire Council. As with lands minister Tony Kelly’s takeover of crown caravan parks, Council was not told in advance and learnt about the decision from the press. Of surprise to Council is that only $400,000 in developer contributions will be levied on a $51 million tourist resort. There is also concern as to how the restriction

on occupancy to 90 days a year will be enforced. Announcing the approval, Mr Sartor said almost two-thirds of the site would be set aside for conservation. ‘This decision will resolve a great deal of uncertainty around a proposal which has been the subject of a lengthy dispute,’ Mr Sartor said in his press release. ‘My department carried out a thorough assessment of the proposal, its environmental impact and community views on the issue. ‘The conditions attached to my approval address the key concerns and ensure the project meets the highest possible environmental and design standards. ‘The development can only be used for tourist or occasional accommodation and not for per-

A blooming good show

manent residential purposes, which was a key community concern. The proposal also involves the rehabilitation and dedication of important wildlife areas and habitat corridors.’ Asked to comment on the size of the developer contribution and restrictions on occupancy, North Beach development manager Simon Stockfeld passed on a press release from Becton CEO Hamish Macdonald. In it Mr Macdonald said Becton was ‘delighted with the result and proud of the company’s achievement in securing approval for the redevelopment of such a significant and environmentally sensitive coastal site. ‘This is the last significant waterfront site in Byron Bay and represents a great opportunity for Becton continued on page 2

Alex McAuley Orchid lovers will have an opportunity to buy one of their favourite plants or get some growing tips from the experts at the 51st annual Queensland Orchid Society (QOS) Show taking place at Mullumbimby Showground this weekend. This Friday and Saturday September 8 and 9 the society members will showcase their range of these flowering beauties and will also acknowledge three of the society’s long term members in an awards ceremony on Saturday afternoon. Daphne and Harry Jenkins of Mullumbimby and Merv Brown of Bangalow will receive the Queensland Orchid Society Award in recognition of the years of dedication to orchid growing and the society.

Merv Brown has dedicated many years to the study of the conservation of species orchids; that is orchids that have not had their genetic structure altered in any way. At a very sprightly 88 years old, he is modest about his achievements. ‘They tell me I’m an expert on species orchids, but I don’t think you’re ever an expert,’ said Merv. ‘I’m thrilled to be receiving the award, but I don’t know how I come to deserve it.’ Always a keen gardener, Merv focused on orchids 50 years ago before choosing to specialise in species orchids about 20 years later. Why the interest in species orchids? Well, according to Merv, ‘Everything a man touches, he buggers; continued on page 4

to continue its tradition of creating exceptional developments in exceptional locations,’ Mr Macdonald said. Becton said the resort will create 50 additional permanent jobs, at least $800,000 a year of additional expenditure in the local economy and 150 jobs during construction. Becton said it is ‘enjoying significant momentum’ with the recent announcement that it would exceed its FY2006 profit forecast laid out in the company’s prospectus and confirmation of $95m in acquisitions within its funds management business since June 30, 2006, taking funds under management to around $900 million. Mr Macdonald said, ‘The Byron Bay announcement caps off a successful first year for Becton as a public company, over-delivering on our prospectus promises and positioning us for great long term growth. Approval of the Byron development allows us to get going with a truly exceptional project in one of Australia’s most loved areas.’ Council’s planning director Ray Darney told The Echo a major concern for Council was the small amount of the developer contributions levied. ‘For a small restaurant in Byron Bay you could levy charges of $200,000,’ he said. ‘On our calculations it should have been $3,020,000 [for North Beach]. ‘[The state government planners] missed a $1 million open space contribution. There is a wrong assumption that people in a tourist facility don’t use open space. ‘There will be extensive roadworks due to the scale of

the development but they haven’t levied road charges which should be $1.2 million. ‘Over time ratepayers will have to pay for road improvements, so it’s inequitable.’ Mr Darney said there seemed to be nothing in the assessment which showed who would be responsible for looking after the 57ha conservation area. Asked about the requirement for visitors to only occupy the units to a maximum of 90 days a year, Mr Darney said, ‘The restriction would be on the owner’s title, it would be up to the body corporate to deal with it. Council would be unable to enforce it.’ Mr Darney said the ‘good things’ in the proposal were the creation of the 57ha rehabilitation area and the removal of cabins to help create a wildlife corridor with a tunnel under the road. Local conservation lobby g roup BEACON has

accused Mr Sartor of riding roughshod over NSW planning laws, threatened species, Council, and the community ‘in his determination to give Becton everything they asked for’. BEACON spokesperson Dailan Pugh said, ‘While it is astounding that the Minister has approved a quantum of future development without any assessment of its consequences, it is even more astounding that he has approved this development based upon an assessment of threatened species that his own consultants advised him was grossly inadequate and did not satisfy legal requirements. ‘Both the Department of Environment and Conservation and Council identified in their submissions that the development would have an impact on threatened species, particularly on shorebirds, and that the Species Impact Statement did not adequately satisfy the require-

ments of the Director General of DEC. ‘Contrary to their own independent advice the government decided to rely upon the flawed and inadequate SIS. Their decision to ignore their own advice makes a mockery of NSW’s threatened species laws and this government’s commitment to them. ‘They also ignored their own planning advice from Architectus that discounted the staged development and recommended that six units with 16 bedrooms be deleted from the first stage,’ Mr Pugh said. ‘They bent over backwards to give Becton what they wanted.’ Becton acquired the site in December 2001 for $12.8 million from Club Med which paid around $16 million for it in 1991. The Department’s assessment of the North Beach proposal can be seen online at www.planning.nsw.gov.au/ asp/ndetermination.asp.

Mullum bird boffins win trip to Sydney Alex McAuley Talented students in Years 7 to 10 at Mullumbimby High School seized an opportunity to showcase their skills at the Tournament of Minds regional competition held in Lismore recently. A team of seven boys put their heads together to come up with an ingenious solution to a very challenging problem in the Maths Engineering section of the contest. After six weeks of hard work and using only a very limited range of components, the boys designed and built a bird which they could mechanically release using elastic bands and balloons. They then had to demonstrate, in front of an audience and judging panel, that their bird could perform two tricks: playing dead and flying backwards. Despite some problems with the final execution and some fluffing of prepared lines, the boys impressed the judges so much with their improvisation and cooperative skills that they won the contest and will now fly to Sydney to take part in the state final. ‘When we first saw what

the problem was we thought there was no way it could be done,’ said the boys. ‘But we worked on it together and in the end it was not as hard as we thought.’ Head Teacher of Science at Mullum High Irene Dawson convened the team and was very impressed with their response to the challenge.

‘I was very impressed with their ability and application,’ said Ms Dawson. ‘They were all so supportive of each other. This sort of experience is extremely valuable as it teaches students to work with others and they grow so much out of it. It also teaches them to produce things in a timeframe which is a really

important skill.’ Ms Dawson and the team are very excited about representing Mullum in the state finals – a first for the school. They are looking for offers of financial support to help get them on their way; anyone who would like to help can contact Ms Dawson at the school on 6684 2600.

Police and local workers meet on domestic violence Superintendent Michael Kenny and the two Domestic Violence Liaison Officers (DVLOs), for the Tweed/ Byron Local Area Command (LAC) met with the Byron Shire’s Committee Against Domestic Violence (BSCADV) last week to discuss key issues in relation to domestic violence and policing domestic violence in the community. Supt Kenny said a large proportion of general police duties are taken up by domes-

tic violence. He has initiated a project to investigate good practice in policing domestic violence. BSCADV Committee member Cassandra Parkinson said the group was encouraged by Supt Kenny’s positive and informed approach to the problem of domestic violence and by his preparedness to work closely with service providers in the region. Supt Kenny indicated that the police were well trained in

dealing with domestic violence. The meeting acknowledged the strong commitment Byron Shire Police have to women’s and children’s safety. In NSW this year 12 people have been killed because of domestic violence. The committee members spoke of the scarce resources for domestic violence in Byron Shire. There is an urgent need for a full time specialist domestic violence worker and a women’s refuge in the Shire.

‘Anecdotal evidence suggests domestic violence is on the increase and we need resources to help alleviate the suffering and cease the generational effect domestic violence has on victims and their families,’ Ms Parkisnon said. ‘It’s shameful that support services are so under resourced across the region.’ Anyone interested in the work of the committee against domestic violence or wanting more information is encouraged to call 6684 4655.

Local News Council to spend $111,000 on YAC Kylie wins Hearts scholarship Michael McDonald It took Byron Shire Councillors over 100 minutes on Tuesday last week to decide the way forward for its dilapidated Youth Activities Centre (YAC) in Byron Bay and its tenants. In the end they voted 7-3, Barham, Lazarus and Tabart opposed, to allocate $110,000 in loan funding to repair the YAC to meet building code requirements and to offer lease agreements to Byron Youth Service over the YAC and the War Widows Cottage in Mullumbimby. It is Councillors’ express intention to donate to BYS

their rental costs, however that will not be considered until October when Council comes to grips with its donations budget. Fortunately for the Uncle project it avoided having to pay Council some $5,000 in alleged back rent. About 20 young people turned up at the council chambers earlier in the day, unaware the meeting had been set down for 3pm. A few showed again for the meeting. The debate went through several motions and amendments. Cr John Lazarus led off with a move to identify

BYS as the ‘overarching management body’ for the YAC and for Council to meeting with users at YAC and negotiate leases for YAC and the widows cottage – this was lost 7-3, with Cr Ross Tucker expressing concerns about the probity of a tenant having management control of a Council building.

Public risks Mayor Jan Barham put up an amendment to defer lease arrangements until Council’s buildings policy is finalised and to consider allocation of the $111,000 for the 06/07 budget – this was lost 8-2, with councillors concerned about public indemnity risks if building works are delayed. Her further amendment to a motion by Cr Ross Tucker sought to reimburse BYS’s rent payments from the donations budget, and this was lost 7-3. Cr Tucker finally got up the successful motion. It echoed the staff recommendation apart from the recommendation to pursue Uncle for rent. Later in the meeting Cr Ray Kestle was successful in a motion to not pursue action to seek payment from Uncle Project for unpaid rent and that the accrued rent amount be written off.

Hundred Hearts: Media that Matters, a community media outreach program launched by byronchild magazine, Santos and Creative Edge Facilitators, has announced the recipient of their first youth scholarship, to attend the Ethos Foundation’s upcoming social change retreat ‘Waging Peace – Relationship, Community and the Earth.’ From six short listed nominees, Kylie Ezart, a naturopath from Broken Head, will be attending the residential, multidisciplinary dialogue forum which focuses on waging peace between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people, with the earth and within communities. It is the third in a series of ‘Courageous Conversations’ hosted by the Ethos Foundation in Binna Burra, south east Queensland. Recipients of the scholarship must be between 18 and 24 years old and possess an exceptional concern for environmental and social justice and a drive towards social activism and responsibility.

Upon returning from the retreat, they must also carry out a specific project of their choosing that is reflective of their knowledge gained from their retreat experience. ‘I perceive that the conference will be a time to meet and network with people with similar interests and visions,’ said Kylie. ‘From this I would be interested in forming a local

action group in which I could represent the youth of the community on issues of sustainability, the environment and community.’ For more information about the Hundred Hearts program or their scholarship fund contact Ken McLeod at 0412 871 789 or email ken@clic.org.au or Kali Wendorf at 6684 4353 or email kali@byronchild.com.

Deadline looms on Main Arm plans Byron Shire Council will be accepting public submissions on rezoning requests for land at Main Arm until September 22. In recent meetings with the Main Arm community, almost the entire community expressed their opposition to the proposed development, citing a number of concerns. ‘The two access roads to Main Arm are already unsafe and dangerous with current traffic volume,’ said Shona Murray, president of the Main Arm Residents Association (MARA). ‘Adding more traffic from hundreds of new residents and the construction of all those homes would be a disaster.’ ‘Council data show 44 major reported accidents on the two access roads in the past ten years. How many have gone unreported? ‘The costs to widen and seal these roads and existing single lane causeways up to Austroad and RTA stand-

ards would be several million dollars which neither the developers nor Council probably can afford. ‘[And] does it make sense to locate so many new residents in an area that is periodically cut off from town during heavy rains when roads and causeways to town are flooded out? Will Council take responsibility for new residents who wouldn’t be able to access emergency services during floods?’ Residents are also concerned that the proposed developments are located in the prime catchment area, the Main Arm, of the Brunswick River. They claim so many new homes will result in the contamination of this important water source through runoff of silt during the construction phase, runoff of herbicides, pesticides and fertilisers used in landscaping and wastewater system failures. ‘No planning decisions should be made without

Local naturopath relocates Michael and Jeanne Reynolds, naturopath and remedial massage therapist, have opened their new clinic at 8 Marvel Street, Byron Bay. The shift was from their former premises at Iron Bark Avenue where they practised for 21 years. Michael has been established as a practitioner in Byron Bay since 1980 and was the Bay’s first full time

naturopath; Jeanne joined him in the practice in 1988 starting out as a massage therapist and expanding into beauty therapy. Some may remember Jeanne when she was part of the Rib Cage team, the first health restaurant in the Bay. They invite old and new patients to visit them at the new clinic where they can share their wealth of knowledge.

Lilly Pilly celebrates 25th Lilly Pilly Preschool is celebrating 25 years of operation in Brunswick Heads and ten years at Bayside Brunswick with an open day on Saturday September 9 from 10 am on. The Brunswick Community Preschool committee began in 1982 to fundraise for a new centre when it was realised that the Anglican Church hall was inadequate for future needs. In 1988 the committee members began lobbying the Council for the land to build new premises. In 1992 the committee succeeded in persuading Council to help fund the relocation of Brunswick Community Preschool to Bayside, Brunswick Heads. In September 1995 a steering committee was formed made up of Council and committee members to plan for the new centre. Construction began in November 1996 and on February 7, 1997, Lilly Pilly Community Preschool opened its doors at 96 Kingsford Drive, Brunswick Heads. At the open day there will be pony rides, food and drinks, craft stalls, live music, face painting, children’s

Man fined $9,000 for swallow deaths A Byron man was fined $9000 by the Land and Environment Court, yesterday (31/08), for causing death and injury to Welcome Swallows, a protected species, in an underground car park at Byron Bay Beach House in April last year. James House pleaded guilty to harming protected fauna by placing bird-repelling gel on overhead pipes located in the car park where the birds perched, causing at least 27 to die and injuring at least another 51. The bird-repelling gel is designed to prevent pigeons, sparrows and starlings from perching and roosting where

the gel is applied. The label clearly states not to apply the gel to surfaces where protected bird species may settle. The Court heard how in April, 2005, Wildlife Information and Rescue Service (WIRES) volunteers found a large number of distressed swallows covered with a sticky substance, in the underground car park. WIRES carers found some birds stuck on pipes, some were trying to fly, some were on the ground, flapping. Others were on the ground, lying still. Some birds had damaged or missing feathers and a number also had burns on their skin.

The Court heard that local veterinarian Matthew Allworth, of the Byron Bay Veterinary Hospital Clinic, endeavoured to treat 78 of the affected birds at his surgery but that some birds were already dead and some died shortly thereafter. According to Mr Allworth, over the days following the incident, swallows affected by the gel were still being brought to him. Welcome Swallows feed on-the-wing, eating insects such as mosquitoes. If the birds can’t fly, they can’t eat. Department of Environment and Conservation Director-General Lisa Cor-

that two out of every three Australian families are affected by cardiovascular disease,’ said Mrs Whitney. ‘So when a Heart Foundation volunteer knocks on your door, please dig deep.’ Heart Foundation NSW CEO Tony Thirwell said, ‘Cardiovascular disease is still the leading cause of death in our community and claims one Australian life almost every 10 minutes.’

Local scout wins Baden Powell award Story & photo Lou Beaumont It was a proud day for lifetime scout and scout leader Reg Robinson when his daughter Michele was awarded the Baden Powell Award. Named after the founder of scouting, Baden Powell, the BP Award is the highest recognised accolade a youth member can receive. It is a rare event for someone to earn this award with only four BPs ever received on the north coast. In a parade held at Brunswick Scout Hall on Saturday, Michele Robinson received the congratulations of her fellow Cape Byron Rovers (scouts aged between 18-26) and her badges to represent this accomplishment. She now has the honour of having the award certificate presented to her by the Gover-

nor General in Canberra. A scout since she was 13, and a girl guide before then, Michele had to complete a series of challenges to earn the badges that amount to the BP Award. Michele earned her Community Service badge; her Project badge, where she decided to obtain her scuba certificate; her Scoutcraft Star badge, involving numerous camps; and lastly the Rambler Badge. Michele found the hike of the Rambler the most challenging of the four as she and her partner drove their way from Byron to Western Australia over six days. Michele chose to go after this difficult award knowing that it would require determination and commitment. The achievement is an uncommon one due in part

to many people in the Rover Scouts age group pursuing other life priorities such as family, career or university. Her persistence and resourcefulness paid off however and

she said although she is thrilled to receive the award and proud of her personal achievement, she couldn’t have done it without the support of her fellow scouts.

Horse lovers of all ages can look forward to another fun filled fundraising day from the Northern Horse Action Group (NHAG) with their annual Northern Horse Performance Show and Fun Gymkhana being held at the Bangalow Showgrounds this Saturday September 9. The show starts at 8am and will offer a range of horsey events, relays and races including the ever popular costume class which will be judge by Mayor Jan Barham at about lunchtime. The famous Beach Hotel NHAG Cup trotting race will round off the festivities. For the first time this year, NHAG has been charged an insurance levy for every participant at the show, and it is only thanks to the generosity of the Beach Hotel which covered all insurance costs that the gymkhana has been able to go ahead. NHAG was formed seven years ago to promote enjoyable riding for people of all ages and to secure safe places in which to ride locally. The major project NHAG is working on is the development of the Byron Shire Bridlepath – a network of trails

for riders, cyclists and walkers – and all money raised from the fun day will go towards the completion of that project. NHAG is a community, non profit, volunteer group that is supported by many generous sponsors and, hopefully, government grants in the near future! Come along, with or without your horse, to join in or watch.

Mental health first aid new program at Mullum High Mullumbimby High School has been selected to be part of an exciting new life skills pilot program: the highly popular and practical adult program ‘Mental Health First Aid’ is currently being adapted for young people by the University of Canberra. Mullum High is offering the course to 15 senior students who are interested in improving their skills in mental health support.

Head Teacher of Student Welfare at Mullum High Lesley Sayers was delighted that the program was so well received by students at the school. ‘We recognise that some of our students are supporting family or friends with mental health issues and many times take on a counselling role,’ said Ms Sayers. ‘This program will give them a chance to improve

their counselling skills and to learn what support is available to them and to those for whom they are caring.’ The program was developed by the Centre for Mental Health Research at Australian National university and will be presented by an experienced local facilitator Joy Peters. Mental Illness Substance Abuse (MISA) will help coordinate the program,

one of the last it will be involved with before it ceases operation when funding runs out at the end of October. This is a fantastic opportunity for students to receive up to date information, be part of busting some of the myths that still exist about mental health, and become familiar with a health issue that affects everyone in our community.

Local News Potts makes art from shipwreck Mullumbimby sculptor and graphic designer Potts, is seen here with components of his ‘Fishbones’ sculpture near ready for the upcoming Thursday Plantation Sculpture Show. This larger than life fish skeleton is made from an old shipwreck. The wreck was once a clinker fishing boat built in 1939. A Brunswick Heads character had it for years and in attempting to restore it, towed it on its last misbegotten voyage to the river mouth in 1999 where it subsequently broke up. The pieces washed ashore and from there were scavenged by Potts, who has been using its parts to make artworks ever since. See more about the show, which runs from September 24 until January 31, 2007, online at www.sculptureshow.net. Photo Lou Beaumont

Arakwal get chance to voice concerns Local indigenous people will finally have the opportunity to voice their concerns with the minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Milton Orkopoulos, set to make his first visit to the Arakwal community. Ian Cohen, NSW Greens Upper House MP, said, ‘I

look forward to Minister Orkopoulos’s visit which will be an opportunity for the Arakwal custodians to air their many legitimate concerns, most importantly the dire lack of housing and health services.’ Mr Cohen believes the

Arakwal and their needs have been ignored despite their generous donation of prime land worth approximately $2 million for a library. ‘The minister should address these serious concerns from the Arakwal without delay,’ Mr Cohen said.

Preschools set to protest Children’s Choice, the preschool funding lobby group, has announced that it will hold its second ‘protest play day’ this year to send a potent message to the Iemma government and highlight the huge inequity in NSW preschool education. Preschool staff, parents and supporters from both Sydney and country areas across NSW will rally on Friday September 8 to voice their concerns about the state government’s continued reluctance to make pre-

school accessible and affordable for all NSW four year-olds. At Mullumbimby Community Preschool a protest day will also be held on the Friday. All staff, parents and children will be dressed in red. The preschool will also be ‘bathed in red’. A picnic will be held at 1pm and everyone is invited to join in. The rally and protest play day follows on from the successful protests held in April this year when thousands of

Byron Bay Preschool fundraiser Byron Bay Preschool is holding its annual fundraising event on Saturday September 9 by way of an Auction Night at the Suffolk Park Hotel from 6pm. The evening, with MC Mandy Nolan, will include a silent and verbal auction, live entertainment and games and will aim to raise much needed funds for educational equipment and maintenance work. The preschool is a nonprofit organisation which receives some funding from the government. However, with two centres to maintain, and the lease of one of them due to expire, the preschool is in the process of building a new centre on Council land. In order for a high quality centre to be built more funds are required on top of those already set aside. Many local businesses have supported this cause by donating thousands of dollars worth of prizes for the fundraising evening, which include accommodation, surf lessons, snorkel trips, jewellery and much more. So come along and enjoy.

God is back in his heaven Vol 21 #13

September 5, 2006

Something fishy There is a number of things which stink about planning minister Frank Sartor’s assessment and approval of the Becton Property Group’s North Beach proposal. We can begin with the arrogant rudeness of the state government in not informing Byron Shire Councillors about the decision first up and leaving them to read about it in the press. This follows hot on the heels of the crown reserve caravan park takeover and shows that under premier Morris Iemma his government has no interest in properly consulting with local government. Then there is the propriety of Mr Sartor ruling on the development in the first place when his political party has been given a large donation by the developer. This would not be acceptable at local government level and should not be allowed by state electoral laws. It seems also in their assessment summary that the state’s planners have conveniently overlooked the advice of their own environmental consultants. The ecological review by Biosis Research states in part that impacts will occur to threatened species and communities, wetlands and waterbodies, and a significant impact may occur to shorebirds known to breed in the area as there will no longer be a viable breeding area due to human disturbance caused by increased visitation to the North Beach Byron site. Biosis also says Becton’s species impact statement (SIS) suffers inadequate assessment of affected species, inadequate mapping, and inadequate assessment of impacts and mitigation/amelioration measures. Readers can draw their own conclusions by looking at the assessment online at www.planning.nsw.gov.au/asp/ ndetermination.asp. In addition the developer contributions of $400,000 levied on Becton are laughable considering the size of the development. The state planners’ assessment seems to draw the bizarre conclusion that North Beach residents will not use public open space or travel further than Bayshore Drive on our roads. The benefit to the local community of employment in the building of the resort will be offset by the cost to ratepayers in unfunded infrastructure. It is also unlikely that anyone will be able to restrict residence in the units to the 90 day blocks required in the tourism zone – Council certainly won’t have the resources to police it. However if people overstay, this is not inherently bad. There is a smaller turnover of people in a potential de facto timeshare arrangement, and longer term residents are more likely to care for their surroundings and the interests of the locals. We hope. There are those who say we could have a far worse outcome if it were not Becton developing the site. Well yes, we could have a redneck government allowing six storey buildings in the dunal system. The point is that despite the approval laxities of the past, the site has high conservation values and deserves protection. It is better to push for the best deal we can get to protect the coastline rather than settle for second best because the general political climate is for growing the economy at whatever cost. A hope for the future lies in Becton being good neighbours. They have proven their worth to date in their support of the writers festival, the Byron Bay triathlon and Petria Thomas, to name a few. Now they could voluntarily kick in another $2 million in developer contributions so ratepayers aren’t out of pocket.

F

rom Kirribilli House we can finally report progress. Our visionary Prime Minister is at last prepared to concede that global warming is not just a conspiracy among subversive green elements in the community, but a fact. Moreover, he does not completely discard the notion – long since regarded as proven by the world’s scientific community – that people might have something to do with it. But this does not mean he is ready for the big breakthrough: that people should now do something about it. On this front nothing is so far established.We must proceed with caution, if at all; after all, doing something might involve some kind of sacrifice: it could even cost money. These are weighty matters. Is saving the planet worth the demise of Australian coal exports? At the end of the day, the bottom line is that only time will tell. Have another glass of diesel. If our dear leader has a weakness (and heaven forfend that it should be so) it may lie in a reluctance to distinguish between the real world and what he would like the world to be; a belief that if he just ignores the problems for long enough they will go away. Thus global warming may be taking place, but it isn’t all that urgent; and we are really winning in Iraq; and, simply by fiat, the Australian government can halt stem-cell research. In this he bears an uncanny resemblance to the papacy, which spent fruitless centuries denying that the earth could move – perhaps he is once again getting ideas above his station. But there

apparently believes that an Australian veto on stem cell research will have a universal effect. And to ensure it comes about, he has reverted to his meanest and trickiest. Abbott, in the intervals between warning that relaxation of the present restrictions will lead to the production of hordes of hybrid monsters and armies of mindless clones rather than a cure for Alzheimer’s (we mustn’t give people false hopes, he declares sententiously – false fears are obviously a much better bet) has said that he thought the whole thing was settled by a parliamentary vote two years ago; nothing has changed since then. Well, actually quite a lot has, not least the expert Lockhart report which recom-

mends that the restrictions be lifted. But low and behold, just when the scientific arguments advanced by the more enlightened members of parliament are gaining some traction, Howard is able to produce another report prepared in some haste by a Canberra PR firm, which says, surprise surprise, that Abbott is quite right: nothing has really changed over the last two years. (This may, of course, have been because the research has been banned for the last two years, but let us skip lightly over that).

Is saving the planet worth the demise of Australian coal exports? At the end of the day, the bottom line is that only time will tell.

can seldom have been a more pointless crusade than the one he is waging with the help of his personal Savanarola, Tony Abbott. Even his evangelical mentor, George W Bush, has stopped playing King Canute with the scientists; in the God-fearing USA the search for new cures for old diseases is allowed to proceed more or less unimpeded. Howard is fond of saying that there is no point in Australia acting alone against global warming, especially if America does not join in, but he

Thus those who want to reopen the subject have got it all wrong; they are clearly mistaken, and, wittingly or unwittingly, agents of the devil. The parliament of Australia has spoken, and once stated, its will is unalterable, whatever might happen to the facts. As Abbott sneers, why would you want to listen to a few scientists when you’ve got the absolute cream of Australia’s elected representatives giving their unbiased (and largely uninformed) judgment? End of argument, at least as far as Howard and Abbott are concerned. Stem cell research is ended, God is back in his heaven and the earth has stopped in its tracks. Or at least Australia has, and from Howard’s myopic perspective that’s the bit that matters.

B

ut last week wasn’t just about setting up the stakes and chopping the firewood for the scientists’ auto da fe. Howard also took the opportunity for a bit more slagging off at Australia’s Muslims, who, he ranted, refused to learn English and oppressed their women. In vain it was pointed out that quite a lot of first generation immigrants were not too fluent outside their mother tongue and that even some native born Anglo Australians had been known to act like male chauvinist pigs; it was the Muslims Howard was after, and for alleged failings that even he would have to concede have nothing whatever to do with the war on terror; it was a straightforward, old-fashioned sectarian slur. There was the usual kerfuffle but ironically the best reply came from the sports pages: in the perennial search for a clean-skin role model among the somewhat besmirched ranks of rugby league, the first choice was the Canterbury Bulldogs winger Hazem elMasri, who, as his name suggests, is a devout Muslim – and, as a Canterbury man, a one-time near-neighbour of Howard himself. Apparently it was just too hard to find what the Howard huggers would call a real, dinky di Aussie player who could be trusted not to have drunken brawls in pubs, indulge in illegal drugs, grope passing women and be arrested for indecent behaviour. Incidentally, many of them aren’t terrific at communicating in English, either. Maybe both rugby league and Howard’s Australia could do with a few more Hazems.

Good question I’d like to know why all of the governments of Australia over a very long period of time have allowed our country to be sold off for economic gain without thinking about what’s happening to the nature of our country – our environment and culture. To me it’s just like what we (whiteys) did to the Aboriginal people only on a planetsized scale – the scum overtaking the pond. Hannah Grace

Take heart Mr Cornell, take heart. The people who really matter in your life, your family, friends and many, many other people, particularly people of the Byron Shire, are fully aware of the many wonderful deeds that you have done and continue to do, together with the substantial donations you have made to many organisations for the benefit of your fellow man. Forget about these ‘grubs’ in the press who are vilifying your good self, because all people, even those who are not really bright, know that the press (in all western countries) ‘get off’ on sensationalising. And in this regard, the Murdoch press is an absolute standout. Please take heart, sir, from the fact that you have enormous support in this Byron Bay community, look after your health and leave these press ‘grubs’ in the gutter to do what they do best, eat sh*t and lots of it.

Cyclists of the Shire, unite! Who picked up on the irony in the account of last week’s Critical Mass bike ride (Echo, August 29)? Does a bunch of cyclists taking up as much road as a small truck and maybe getting a little carried away by the thrill of empowerment such a group enjoys (in contrast to the vulnerability of riding alone as most usually do) really justify impatience, hostility or aggression from other road users finding their own journeys delayed by a minute or less? Bicycle use in Australia is growing at a stunning velocity. More bicycles are being sold each year than cars, well over a million bikes a year. The website www.cyclingpromotion.com is an excellent starting place for anyone wondering why or how to take up and get the most from cycling at any age. Cycling is now the fourth most popular activity for adults in Australia, much more popular than golf, which is going backwards. While petrol prices skyrocket, wars are fought over

oil and we’re told Australia has ‘epidemics’ of obesity and mental health issues, there is also increasing consciousness of the well documented health, environmental and social benefits cycling offers. Riding a bicycle is a great way to integrate exercise into daily life. It exercises the heart better than walking without the high joint impact of running. Physical activity has shown to be as effective as psychotherapy and medication in alleviating symptoms of depression. The bicycle is a human scale, adaptable, astonishingly efficient, community friendly, life enhancing miracle machine. The Byron Shire Bicycle User Group (www.byronbug. org.au) is the official channel for lobbying on behalf of local cyclists’ issues such as sealing road shoulders, signage, bike parking and driver education. Critical Mass rides offer an opportunity to demonstrate to the rest of the community the size of the constituency that the BUG represents and thus to encourage Council to move

rectify some of the 30 years of neglect of this area by those before them and maybe earn back some respect by a large majority of the Shire’s ratepayers, but it seems Jan Barham and the Barhamites still have the head in the sand, if it’s not Byron Bay it does not matter attitude. Congratulations Suffolk Park on finally getting a sporting field and even Brunswick Heads got some crumbs of rates money for the much needed cycleway but when driving around Byron Bay on newly resurfaced roads, upgraded car parks, resurfaced road and carpark at Watego’s Beach (most important), new roundabouts going in, footpaths/walkways and new sporting fields being planned, it’s a bit hard to take. I suggest to the Mayor she actually take a trip across the Brunswick River, past the maze of witch’s hats, barriers and diversions of the misplaced new highway and turn into one of the rubbled entrances to Ocean Shores/ Golden Beach. Take a look at the crumbling roads and gutters, lack of footpaths and speed bumps (only natural ones), silted up drains/ storm water and waterways (yes! the flooding still exists), no recreation/sports grounds, swimming pool, no beach car parks or facilities and a lifethreatening bridge to name a few things just in the main areas. Make sure you come during the day not night as there are next to no streetlights either so you won’t see anything which is probably what

you would prefer. Some sort of response from you, Mayor, would be appreciated and let us know if Council has plans to do anything in this area in the next decade and don’t forget to pay your rates, Ocean Shores, so we get a bigger slice of nothing next year. Steve Hayman

Chalk one up It’s a sad day in Mullum when our creative chalk drawing on the sidewalks becomes illegal. About two months ago, the most uplifting designs started appearing all over the sidewalks. Some creative and talented person/s had, using thick coloured chalk, drawn hearts, flowing lines, flowers, patterns and other multi-coloured artwork. Each drawing was precise, artistic and drawn with full attention. My own opinion is that there was much love put into this project. People collected around the art and shared smiles and joy. A photo even appeared proudly in our own Echo. One person gave me their take on it: when the rain comes, it washes the chalk, the water absorbs the love intention, is evaporated and when it drops again as rain, it is charged with this love and spreads this love wherever it falls. I like that. Then, apparently, a ‘concerned’ citizen (concerned with what I want to ask) went to Council to get it stopped! It is now illegal! I wonder about laws like this. continued overleaf

the further development of bike friendly infrastructure higher up the list of budget priorities leading to an exponential growth of usage. The idea of Critical Mass is essentially to celebrate cycling and assert cyclists’ rights on the road. It’s about raising awareness, being provocative but not confrontational and claiming a voice to ask for improved facilities. It’s about networking, building and strengthening community and solidarity. It’s an opportunity for people who may be nervous about riding in certain places to experience how enjoyable cycling could be if there were less cars and more bikes sharing our roads all the time. CM has no leaders, and no central organisation licenses rides. For more inforvisit www.critical-mass.info. So get used to seeing more bikes on the roads, folks, and get used to seeing a monthly celebration of bike power on the last Friday of each month around Byron. Join in!

TAFE support I write in response to the comments made by the Shadow Minister for Training Don Page (‘TAFE needs support: Page’, Echo, August 22). TAFE NSW is one of the country’s best providers of vocational education and training. The Iemma government is providing more than $1.6 billion in funding to TAFE NSW. Last year, enrolments across its 134 campuses totalled 513,000 – up 25 per cent over the life of the current NSW Labor government. Locally, the Illawarra Institute has 14 campuses located throughout south-eastern NSW, providing training to 42,000 students each year. An independent report – Employers’ use and views of the VET system 2005 – found TAFE NSW had the highest level of employer satisfaction of any system in Australia. According to this report from the National Centre for Vocational Education Research, 96 per cent of employers using TAFE NSW for nationally recognised training, excluding apprenticeship and traineeship training, reported high levels of satisfaction.This compares

to a national average of 85 per cent. Additionally, TAFE NSW achieved an employer satisfaction rate of 78 per cent in relation to the quality of training it provides apprentices and trainees – significantly higher than the ratings received by both private training providers (65 per cent) and industry association providers (40 per cent). This strong industry support is a testament to TAFE NSW and its dedicated staff. TAFE NSW is doing its part to address national skill shortages. The current strength of TAFE stands in stark contrast to the situation it was in when the Liberal and National parties were last in government (1988-1995). During this period, TAFE enrolments slumped by 13 per cent. Carmel Tebbutt

Travelling trolleys So Woolworths has just announced that it has achieved its goal of one billion dollars profit for the first time this past financial year. Whoopee for them. In the past Woolworths has said it would be too expensive to control its trolley migration. Maybe they can now afford a system so that we do not see its trolleys abandoned on our beaches, our parks, walkways and in the streets where we live. Incidentally, when Woolworths opened its new supermarket in Maleny earlier this year, they installed face rec-

ognition technology. On opening day, one of the local co-op staff popped into Woolworths to have a quick look. The next day she went back again. On exiting the supermarket she was stopped by two police officers and was informed that she was acting suspiciously because she had been into the store twice and had not bought anything. It seems that Woolworths do have money for technology and control. Come on.Woolworths, you have stated in your company’s manifesto that you have a high level of social respon-

sibility towards the community that supports you. Stop playing Big Brother and do something for the community that supports your billion dollar profit. In the meantime, I get a real buzz every Thursday morning when I do my shopping at the Farmers Market and witness the ever-increasing support it deserves and receives from us locals. No mess, no trolleys, no billion dollar profit goals – just good service with a smile, good value for money, authentically fresh produce, and high level social responsibility.

Woolworths could take a leaf choose to live here? If the answer lies somewhere in out of their book!

Low key life just a Main Arm pipe dream? ■ There is a simple solution to the need to house more people in this shire. Let any landholder with more than 25 hectares build another house on their property, under the following conditions. It must not be within 500 metres of any existing house and it cannot be connected to the electricity grid, town water or sewerage. The landowner can sell the house and as much land as they see fit and neither owner can divide again. This concept solves many issues. Hundreds of land owning, rate paying residents of this shire will benefit rather than a few developers. The shire benefits because it doesn’t have to provide the roads, electricity, water or sewerage. The shire retains its rural atmosphere because development is spread lightly throughout the shire instead of in big blobs. And an even spread of population will encourage village life, schools and services.

If the residents of Byron Shire are sincere in their desire to keep Byron beautiful, encourage sustainable living and protect our fast vanishing environment and resources, we cannot continue down the same old path that replaces rural scenes with high impact, high maintenance suburbs. Nigel Eddy

Billinudgel ■ We are dismayed as green voters and people who work in the local Landcare and environmental movement that we need to lobby a Green Council to prevent the rezoning of land in Main Arm. Peter Westheimer proposes that commmunity title subdivisions will help bring about environmental repair in the Shire but we can’t see, in this case, how allocating rural land for a shopping plaza and convention centre plus 35 houses now – with a further allocation of 111 dwellings in the Main Arm district – is going to achieve his stated objective. There may be strict

development consents but with under resourced compliance officers and the ability of people to find neat loopholes, there is not much likelihood of compliance being enforced over time. Restoration of biodiversity values and bushland can happen without urbanised housing dressed up as eco developments! At this point it would be preferable to have the paddocks in Main Arm remain as they are because the bush is resilient and coming back. Ian Cohen MLC describes the environmental actions that Becton have promised as part of their development as ‘greenwash’ and the proposed developments in Main Arm are more of the same. The bottom line is that the proposed subdivisions have been planned to make profit for the developers. An ‘arrogant’ State government has just overridden local government and Byron community wishes to give the goahead for the Becton development and here we have the vast majority of Main Arm

residents totally against the proposed development of Main Arm village and have been trying to tell Byron Shire Councillors and staff for some time. When the Byron Rural Settlement strategy (BRSS) was being devised, Main Arm residents understood community title as a way for like minded groups to band together to buy a block of land and build their own community with afffordable housing – a concept which fitted the Main Arm spirit. Now with blocks selling for $300,000 how will they be affordable to locals wishing to remain in the area? Affordable housing is one of the key rationales for rural village development under the BRSS. Preserving cultural heritage is another and Main Arm is one of the very few areas left in the shire that has managed to retain its original iconic identity. This is where the first wave of the alternative settlers came in the late 60s-early 70s, integrating well with the local farming community.

It will be a tragedy if Councillors give the green light for rezoning Main Arm at this stage especially with a review of the BRSS coming up in the near future. Under the strategy there are many other hinterland localities slated for village development (Federal has already been blitzed) which makes this an issue of concern to all rural residents in the shire. We urge people to inform themselves and get involved. Currently submissions are being accepted by Council until September 22 on the rezoning in Main Arm – amendment 128 to the Local Environment Plan. See Byron Shire Council’s website for details. Judy and Nino MacDonald

Billinudgel ■ I agree with Sean and Jay Roche in last week’s Echo that it would be beautiful if no more people were to build houses in Main Arm in the next twenty years. In fact it would be even better if anyone who hasn’t

lived in the valley for at least twenty years be asked to leave, and their houses mulched and returned to rainforest. I think if this council was truly green, they should consider making this a shirewide policy. Wouldn’t it be ideal if all internal combustion engines were banned in the shire? We could block all exits from the highway, blow up the internal bridges, and visitors could walk, paddle or ride in, and stay in hand woven teepees.We could all grow our own food, eat it raw and go to bed before dark. Do we really need ‘The Grid’ – telecom, mains water or the WWW? There wouldn’t be any garbage to be collected no roads to be maintained, thus no rates and no bills. We could be an example to the world. I remember this, vaguely, as a pipe dream back in the seventies. Perhaps this generation can show us how it’s done. Gavan Higginson

Letters way Reconstruction For Trucks Tollway’ or ‘Super Truck Tollway’ or ‘Unsustainable, Multicorporate, Jobs for the Boys Tollway’? Do we want our rural landscape to change from what we know and love to that of a massive concrete vein? And what about the flow on effects of such an upgrade – more trucks, more pollution, quicker roads, more development. It’s starting to sound a bit city-like, isn’t it? Mark Bayley

Meerschaum Vale â– Twenty-one months ago (November 2004) the NSW government announced that they would commence an investigation into the proposed upgrade of the Pacific Highway near Byron Bay. We were told it the study would be completed by June 2006. A study area in our immediate area 25 km long and 5km

wide was designated. Similar investigations were started up and down the coast at a cost of hundreds of millions of dollars. A report was issued in October 2005 listing four route options. All four options proposed a duplication, not an upgrade, destroying thousands of hectares of valuable land with scenic, environmental and agricultural significance. A final decision was promised again by June 2006. In mid June 2006 the RTA confirmed they were on schedule. On June 30, 2006, the Roads Minister delayed the announcement on the basis that more investigation was needed. Some suspect that the RTA were about to force the minister back onto the front pages of the press defending the increasingly indefensible RTA. Twenty thousand residents of the area have sent submis-

sions to the minister asking for a decision that will give us back the certainty we need to continue our lives. The waiting game is hell for all with high levels of financial hardship and stress related illnesses being reported. Our greatest fear now is that the government will try to delay the decision until after the next state election. Another year’s delay would be a cynical political move that will directly cause another 50 fatalities on the highway. Safety now is the number one issue and there is a solution that can start saving lives soon. We are calling for a release of the RTA report and are demanding a firm date for a decision. A decision with a solution that will start saving lives now. Ministers should not play politics with the road toll.

Eye in the sky

It was really ingenious of you to find the website that you said would explain the eye in the sky [The cloud photo in Backlash, August 22 – Ed]. I would love to know how you managed to find a site with such a long address and also what the explanation was, as this site is no longer on Google. Perhaps the CIA freaked out and obliterated it when you published the address. There are a lot of different theories about the eye going around, one that it was a light ship, ie a space ship from a higher dimension and invisible except for the space it made in the cloud bank and another interesting theory, that it was the eye of the baby whale NPWS killed at Cabarita Beach a couple of weeks ago. It could have been her celestial eye as it was seen Tony Gilding near her burial site at the Newrybar Byron depot. Perhaps she is

calling for a ceremony and for her remains to be put back in the sea. This would be the best we could do for her after she was so badly failed by the department. It would also reassure local whale activists that her skeleton is not to be exhumed and sold for an exorbitant sum of money. However even if it was her eye, if I’d had a camera before the trail in the middle turned into the hazy formation that looks like tears falling, I could prove that it began as a trail. That is a chemtrail, I have many photos of trails turning into this stuff. Ashiya Austin

Good meeting I’d like to congratulate Cr Jan Barham and other Byron Shire Councillors for their active involvement in setting the objectives and aims for the Byron Shire Transport Strategy at a workshop on Tuesday. (Crs Barham, Westheimer, Tabart, Mangleson, Staples and Woods participated and Cr Tucker observed the first half.) Approximately 20 attendees represented various groups, including Byron Bay Chamber of Commerce, Simple Pleasures in Brunswick, NSW Police, Ballina Council, Northern Rivers Social Development Council, Bikeways Committee and TOOT!

A dangerous place The fifth anniversary of September 11, 2001, is just around the corner. No doubt we will be reminded, in dramatic speeches and rantings, how the ‘world has changed’ into a dangerous place, by our so called leaders who have so unselfishly volunteered to protect us, or rather, to protect those whose power and privilege depends on creating the fantasy of an ‘evil other’ for a fearful and obedient public. Being an obedient citizen myself, I never fail to shine a torch under my bed every night, looking for those elusive terrorists. And I pray to almighty Ruddock to take away the burden of whatever civil liberties there are left, so I could feel safe again. Finally, with all that hype

about the ‘war on terrorism’, it might be worthwhile to remember that, in December 1987, at the peak of concern over international terrorism, including state-sponsored terrorism, the United Nations’ General Assembly passed its major resolution on the matter, condemning the plague in the strongest terms and calling on all nations to act forcefully to overcome it. The resolution passed 1532.The only two countries who voted against it were, wait for it, the United States and Israel. Tom Koo

Last of the forests The recent announcement by the NSW government that it is going back to the drawing board in regards to the Draft Code on Private Native Forestry indicates that this government is not serious about the integrity of our native forests. It also indicates that this government is not serious about climate change or the effects of the greenhouse gases that are emitted into the atmosphere from logging and burning off practices by loggers. Acquiescing to a timber industry representaive being on the committee set to redraft the codes is akin to putting the fox in charge of the henhouse, the effects of

which every farmer would know. The state government has abdicated its responsibilities to the people of NSW by allowing others to become the law makers and not listening to those who have the interests of all the public of NSW at heart, namely conservationists, whose only motive is to save the remnants of forests left in the state before they are rendered into ecological wastelands fit only for weeds and feral pests.

No winners Re Fast Buck$’s reference to the Battle of Long Tan in August 1968 (Letters., August 29). The memorial day does not try to belittle or try to ‘rub’ anything into Vietnamese for losing that battle, but gives remembrance to the 18 young Aussies who died in that battle plus the other 500 Aussies who died in that useless war, most of whom were conscripts who were unlucky enough to win that wrong lottery ‘call up’. Their opposition that day was a battalion of North Vietnamese regulars who the Aussies say fought hard and brave and yes, if not for the artillery support, would have overrun the Aussie position. No, I wasn’t there but know some who were there,

one who didn’t return and some who still suffer from being there. Maybe when you were there you saw some of these young boys who abused your taunting appearance, but maybe they were just hiding their nervous position – after all, they were not brought up to be shot at or live in rain soaked terrain and trenches. Remember, these were mostly 17-20 year old conscripts. Our men were told they were fighting for freedom which you and I enjoy. If you have any barbs to fire, fire them at the people who send them. not the ones who serve.There are no winners in wars. I have been to Vietnam four times and have made many friends there, one who because he fought for the South is still limited to what employment he does and earns a pittance as a cyclo taxi rider.

Bad and good news On Yahoo! 7 Answers they are saying that the epidemic of diabetes that is rapidly spreading across Australia and around the world is caused by the massive cloud of deadly, radioactive, depleted uranium dust that now encompasses the globe as a result of the use of depleted uranium munitions in war.

Fantastic news for those who keep pet mice. Studies have shown that Capsaicin, a substance extracted from hot chilli peppers, rapidly killed prostate cancer in mice and rapidly killed human prostate cancer in a test tube. The Washington Times says that men should eat more chilli peppers (or cayenne/chilli pepper extract tablets) (16/03/06). UCLA Professor Koeffler suggests it may also be effective against leukemia and pancreatic cancer. (nubella.com, 16/03/06). Peter Olson

Genuine democracy As a newly converted Echologist, I perused your letters column searching for the nationally renowned local wisdom that is your region’s primary export (Mungo et al), and stumbled across Noah Yamore’s response to a letter by the redoubtable Peggy Balfour, on the subject of Real Democracy. By incredible and no doubt celestially manipulated coincidence, I have written a book or two on this very issue. Furthermore, I am excited to announce that movements to launch genuine democracy ( government by the people, for the people) are springing up spontaneously all over Australia. Even in the darkest wilds of the Sunshine Coast where we

now paint our necks white. What is less known is that a national umbrella organisation, the Australian Independent’s Alliance, has been formed to assist local organisations, should we desire this. As Noah informs us, the common theme is that a special contract locks a preselected independent candidate into representing only the documented consensus of his or her electorate. As vested interests will actively disapprove, a backup is the candidate’s presigned letter of resignation. Each region develops their own take on developing electoral consensus and this is shaped by the extent of participant’s understanding of consensus protocols and conflicting belief systems. Should Byron Bay organisers desire this, we will be happy to extend our liaison with our southern cousins. Without doubt, exchanging techniques and new knowledge will strengthen us all. With the federal elections anticipated for August 4, 2007, time is of the essence. Tony Ryan

Articles Hans Lovejoy talks to author Nigel Turvey

Retelling the rainforest wars paper products and furniture, and we are turning it out of soft and hardwood plantations more and more. It seems we are meeting demand from hardwood plantation, though there is still a demand for native forest timbers. One problem I find is that we don’t share the resource of wood and water very well as a nation.

The 1979 battle between ‘loggers’ and ‘hippies’ at Terania Creek in the Byron hinterlands’ Nightcap National Park was a turning point for both the conservation movement and the timber industry. It marked a change in ascendancy over native forests. Just two weeks of protest led to a bitter war for access to all rainforests in New South Wales and an eighteen month long inquiry. It culminated in NSW Premier Neville Wran’s Rainforest Decision. When asked in 2006 what he was most proud of, he responded, ‘Definitely the rainforests. The rainforests wouldn’t be there if we hadn’t been there.’ In his new book Terania Creek: Rainforest Wars, author Dr Nigel Turvey weaves together over 25 years of research, interviews, photographs and court records, forming a compelling investigation of Terania Creek’s ‘spiritual landscape – the living archaeology of Gondwana.’ Winner of the IP Picks 2006 Best Creative NonFiction Award, this significant new book recounts the seminal confrontation between the conservation movement and forest industry over the moist forests of northeastern NSW. Dr Turvey, an environmental scientist and professional forester, has written a balanced history of the dispute, which has implications for the relationship between the industry and environmentalists today. Terania Creek: Rainforest Wars will be launched in Byron Bay at Mary Ryan’s Bookshop on Wednesday September 13 from 6pm.

headlines and changed public opinion. It seems that in my generation [30s] there is less awareness now about logging and environmental issues than there was then, and it seems that those die hard eco-warriors have disappeared. What sense of their community is left, and where can it be found?

New recreation hall at Lake Ainsworth The new recreation hall at Lake Ainsworth Sport and Recreation Centre has been completed just in time for the coming school holiday. Minister for Tourism and Sport and Recreation Sandra Nori said the one and a half million dollar state of the art facility will provide an excellent space for indoor games, dance activities and sports. She said the new recreation hall will also provide a much needed venue for community and school competitions in basketball, netball, volleyball and lifeball tournaments for senior citizens. How the community will

access the facility is a subject of some speculation, however, as the master plan for Lake Ainsworth is currently a matter for discussion between Ballina Shire Council’s Steve Barnier and the NSW Department of Lands. Executive Strategic Planner at Ballina Shire Council explained that a number of options went on exhibition some time ago and Council adopted option three, not the option advocated by the Department of Lands. ‘It is my understanding that the Department of Lands wants to discuss the option [adopted by Council]

with Council’s General Manager, John Christopherson, later this month,’ said Mr Barnier. ‘It was established by Council that the eastern road is not a legal access road [for the Department of Sport and Rec]. It is the intention of Council to close the eastern road and provide another access route. This will be done in consultation with the Department and we will of course provide a suitable alternative.’ The Department of Lands and Mr Christopherson are scheduled to discuss the options for Lake Ainsworth on September 13.

Once more to the Middle East with passion claims to Palestine, Julie Nathan fails utterly to acknowledge that Jewish claims on the area are made on exactly the same basis as the Muslim claim, ie prior occupation. Biblically based claims are dubious because unprovable and come down to a matter of faith, and Jews are also put in the bind that if you accept their biblical claim you also have to accept that Jehovah in his wisdom may have awarded the land to the Jewish people but they had to steal it from the Canaan-

ites to take possession. Such a claim involves a selective amnesia and a denial of history. If I was to return to Vervier in Belgium, my father’s family’s ancestral town and claimed all the property previously owned there by the Gilet family I would rightfully be laughed out of town. Jews are attempting to push back a similar sort of claim three thousand years. Jews may have been a constant presence in Palestine throughout history but most of the time (between the time

of the Emperor Vespasian until 1948) as a minority. It was certainly not an area under their control for all those hundreds of years. The Israeli vision of nationhood appears to be ‘the nation as gated community’. They seem to fail to recognise that by creating defensive walls and Jewish-only highways to keep out Muslims they are in fact creating for themselves a 21st century ghetto. One can only sympathise with the Jewish people in regards to the horror of the holocaust inflicted upon them. The victors in the Second World War chose to award the Jewish people Israel in compensation for this cruelty and genocide.

And I don’t mean to get all football again, but perhaps the poignant moment of the last few months for me was when the Lebanese Football Association was forced to pull out of the Asian Cup. I have been to Lebanon both before and after its last revival (more lives than a cat, old Beirut), and among the many achievements of which the Lebanese are proud is the fact that they managed to stage and host the AFC 2000 Cup. Given that in parts of Lebanon local clubs play on hard dirt, Beirut Stadium is iconic. Now, thanks to the academic bullshit upon which Middle Eastern policy is built, many of the Lebanese team were unable to be located (let alone escape) as they were being cluster bombed to oblivion. What could have been one of the few uplifting moments of this ‘well intentioned’ bloodbath became yet another statistic of the brutal arrogance with which some people conduct politics. After a mighty penalty

shootout involving American and Iranian arsenal? Final Score: Petrol $1.40, Human Spirit 0. What a surprise. Albert Moses

Mullumbimby ■One of the justifications we were given for invading Iraq was that Saddam Hussein was in cahoots with Al Qaeda and that they had access to weapons of mass destruction. Currently this is being reiterated by American Republicans as they try to ward off the malign electoral consequences of the Iraq fiasco, by linking Iraq to the ‘war on terror’. The Australian Wheat Board helped fund Saddam Hussein’s regime through bribery and thus its members and complicit politicians like Mr Downer are guilty of financially supporting terrorism. This is a serious offence under the Anti-Terrorism Bill and carries a maximum sentence of 15 years. The AFP should immediately apply for preventative detention orders and haul these suspects in for questioning. Gareth W R Smith

Byron Bay ■Being branded a supporter of religious bigots and genocidal maniacs by the inevitable Julie Nathan is pretty routine but it has cheered me up. It’s not much but at least it’s something to tell my grandchildren when they ask what I did to oppose the slide into WW3. The proposition that if you do not unconditionally support the activities of the government of Israel then you are a supporter of religious bigots and genocidal maniacs is used a lot by apologists for Israel. It’s the same shabby and dishonest argument used by the Ku Klux Klan against the (often Jewish) activists for black civil rights – that they were supporters of rapists and drug dealers. Ms Nathan tries to deflect the argument by pointing out that the Jewish vote is numerically small. If by that she is really trying to claim that the influence of the Israel lobby is small then I would have to say pull the other one – it whistles Hava Nagila. And it is indeed nauseating to watch politicians (Liberal and Labor) cast aside their broader principles to grovel for the influence of those voters. Read Anthony Loewenstein’s excellent book My Israel Question – published by Melbourne University Press and available locally – for the whole sorry story. Anthony Loewenstein, Robert Richter QC, Ian Cohen MLC and many other

courageous Australian Jews have expressed as much dismay as anyone at the mindless uncritical support given by people like Julie Nathan to every action of the Israeli government – no matter how brutal, racist or unjust. They rightly point out that this empowers the worst expansionist elements in the Israeli leadership and settler movement, undermines Israelis who are struggling for peace and at the same time fuels real anti-Semitism in the rest of the world. In most situations Australia is a practically invisible presence on the world stage but by marching in lockstep with the neocons currently controlling Israel and the US it is putting in jeopardy the lives of innocent Australians and doing its bit to frustrate all hope of peace. Our federal politicians are able to pursue their career goals confident that Australians are unaware that we reliably vote (with the US) in support of Israeli government actions that have been condemned by the entire world community. Noone else – not Blair’s Britain, not even the $2 votes of the poorest countries – can so regularly be marshalled as ours. This used to be seen as no more than sucking up to the US – a gesture to claim (desperately) that we were best mates. No longer. Now in the wider world we are counted as no more – nor less – than a vassal state of the US/Israel alliance. Because, on this rare occasion, Australia’s abject posture actually matters and because that posture relies very largely on the ignorance and silence of Australian voters there is something useful you can do: Call parliament house on 6277 7111 and ask for your local member or our foreign minister Alexander Downer or his Labor party shadow (and I do mean shadow) Kevin Rudd. You are absolutely entitled to such access and will be put through to a (usually) polite and friendly staffer who will register your objection to our slavish allegiance to the US/ Israel line. Or you can send an email to any member of parliament by following this formula: firstname.surname. MP@aph.gov.au. Your comment will be counted and may make a difference. You’d be surprised how little genuine feedback MPs get. Practically all they hear comes from powerful lobby groups like the Australia Israel Jewish Affairs Council which, for instance, strongly supported our invasion of Iraq while the opinion of the vast majority of Australians was ignored.

If you go public your action may well get you clobbered by AIJAC but at least you will have done something. Or you can try to live with the dread of being a bystander. John Weiley

Byron Bay PS Yes, I do support the right of the nation with the world’s sixth most powerful (nuclear) armed forces to exist (though I suspect it could manage that without me) but if it would like to do more than merely ‘exist’ it will have to try making peace. ■Geoff Dawe is spot-on when he says ‘the high moments in human endeavour can be replicated.’ They are, repeatedly, by most people. Whatever colour, creed, culture they may be, the vast majority of people are fine, decent human beings who want to get on with each other, not least because they benefit from it. (Matt Ridley, The Origins of Virtue – The evolution of co-operation in human beings.) Problem is, they are trying to do that in an economy that emerged from a patriarchal society; an economy that is voraciously exploitative and funnels wealth to a select few. Julie Nathan points out that Palestine isn’t the only conflict and she’s right. The other outrages are part of the same war, each one funnelling wealth to that select few. Amazing how racially tolerant that select few are. Anglo, Latino, Jew, Oriental, Arab, it seems Osama Bin Ladin’s family are part of it too. It’s not a conspiracy, that would suggest something hidden and there’s nothing hidden about this, just follow the money. The main proponents and activators of these conflicts and those profiting are one and the same. That’s not only obvious, it’s widely known. We are simply expected to believe this is coincidence. I can understand Julie Nathan, the people of Israel and Jews generally feeling under attack, they are. Those profiting from this conflict have done everything they can to nurture that scenario. If there is to be security in that region, or any other, everyone must feel secure. That means compassion for all. If we decide that either Jews or Arabs, or anyone else, is not deserving of compassion, there can be no peace. The vast majority of fine, decent human beings who want to get on with each other are not well served by this patriarchal economy. Robin Harrison

Articles Alex McAuley talks to Dr Des Fernandes

Learning about literacy at Lennox Head

More than skin deep If you’re a skin care sceptic who doesn’t believe that creams can effectively slow down the ageing process, then this rare public talk from world renowned plastic and reconstructive surgeon and founder of Environ skin care range Dr Des Fernandes is an opportunity for you to have the subject de mystified. Dr Des, as he is widely known, has an impressive resume which began in the late 1960s when he graduated in medicine from the University of Witwatersrand in South Africa. He then went to the UK with the intention of specialising in plastic surgery but was persuaded to change to cardiothoracic surgery by his professor who felt that ‘it would be an intellectual waste to specialise in a minor field such as plastics’. After gaining a Fellowship of the College of Surgeons in Edinburgh, he returned to South Africa to join Prof Christiaan Barnard in the heart transplant unit at Groote Schuur Hospital in Cape Town, but despite the obvious challenges of the work, did not ever feel completely fulfilled. ‘The work was satisfying but stressful,’ said Dr Des, ‘and your patients die! In those days there was a four per cent death rate for some procedures and transplant patients were in hospital for three months; it’s about ten days now. ‘I’d always wanted to be a plastic surgeon; I’d done a lot of painting and clay modelling and it seemed like the right thing to do. My first day [after returning to plastic

surgery] I felt vindicated; we reconstructed a child’s burned hand and fixed a cleft palate.’ In the mid 1980s he got the idea to make skin care creams for his patients, and after extensive research and experimentation came up with a formula that soon had people on a six month waiting list just to get the creams. ‘I never advertised [my creams] but my reputation grew by word of mouth,’ said Dr Des. ‘Unfortunately, consultations don’t pay well, and I needed to be operating to keep the practice going, and as the creams were in such high demand, I decided to offer them for sale outside my practice.’ So what is the great secret to younger looking skin? Well according to Dr Des, there is no secret. What he has done is to apply his scientific knowledge to skin care. And the key, it appears, is vitamins. ‘I am trying to help people to age better,’ he said. ‘You cannot stop the ageing process, but you can slow it down. ‘People are now living longer but still getting sick at the same age, so they have a longer period of sickness before

they die. My approach is one of active ageing; plenty of activity and taking good supplements. ‘I can also say quite definitively that using the right creams will slow the ageing process and can, in a minor way, reverse it. If a person’s skin is structurally OK but has fine lines, pigmentation and blemishes, the right cream will have a rejuvenating effect. High doses of vitamins A and C stimulate the production of new collagen to replace photo damaged collagen and rejuvenate the skin.’ Photo damage, or sun damage, is the major cause of skin ageing in Australia, with people who do not spend the first 18 years of their lives in Australia suffering 80% less photo damage than those who do. Of course, genetics help, as do plenty of sleep, no stress, exercise and plenty of water. But, living in the real world can make a good balance hard to achieve, and that is where Dr Des’s skin care range really can help. ‘These are result orientated products; I’m a doctor and I want to sell something that makes a difference,’ he said. Dr Des will be delivering his talk this Thursday September 7 at The Byron at Byron Conference Centre from 5.30pm to 7.30pm. His topics will include photo ageing in depth; understanding anti ageing; effective salon treatments; new ingredients and new product. Tickets cost $40 including canapés. Bookings are essential and can be made by on 6639 2110.

Humour scholars tackle funny subject

Weil, Gotshal & Manges, together with solicitor Alison Patchett and Aboriginal Information Officer Blanch Lake. Regional Arts Development Officer Lois Randall said that Arts Law Week has been developed to make legal issues accessible to creative people, and to address a lack of specialist arts law expertise in the region. ‘While the region has a high concentration of artists and burgeoning film and music industries, there are few specialist arts lawyers here,’ she said. ‘Most creative people have to travel to Sydney or Brisbane for expensive legal advice.’ The full program is available on the Arts Northern Rivers website at www.artsnorthernrivers.com.au. To book call 6628 8120.

Comedian Mikey Robins might be the headline act, but don’t let that fool you – the Australian and New Zealand Humour, Health and Education Conference at the University of New England is going to be serious stuff. The keynote speakers at the conference – from Friday October 27 to Sunday 29 – will include three of Australia’s top humour scholars, as well as comedians Rachel Berger, Fiona O’Loughlin and Mikey Robins. And they won’t just be standing around telling jokes. Topics for discussion will include whether laughter is good for your health and how humour can be used to help school teachers connect with their students. ‘Humour is a really “funny” kind of a subject (no pun intended),’ said the conference organiser, Angie Smith, a lecturer in the INE’s School of Health. ‘There are a whole

Artists wanted by the law A trio of legal experts from the Arts Law Centre will present a full day seminar on Writing and Entertainment Law on Wednesday September 6 at the Byron Bay Community and Cultural Centre. Arts Northern Rivers, in partnership with the Arts Law Centre of Australia, is proud to announce Northern Rivers Arts Law Week. Artists, arts workers, and representatives of arts and cultural organisations are invited to attend a program of free legal sessions for creative people. Have you ever wondered: How do I get copyright? Should I be getting royalties from my music? Can I use music or images from the internet in my own work? My friend and I are mak-

ing a film – what business structure should we set up? Do I need an ABN to sell my work? What can I do if someone is using my work without my permission? These questions and more will be answered in plain English in the inaugural Northern Rivers Arts Law Week. The seminar will run from 9am to 3pm. In the afternoon there will be industry specific breakout groups (Writing, Screen and Music/ Performing Arts) for a discussion of contracts, royalties and collecting societies. Bookings are essential. The Arts Law Week seminars will be presented by Senior Solicitor Alida Stanley, who spent the last five years working for the top tier New York law firm,

Students at Lennox Head Public School recently got to do what students all over the world secretly crave to do – throw paper planes in the classroom and wear risqué fashion items at school. They were participating in these activities as part of National Literacy and Numeracy Week, an Australian government initiative aimed at rewarding achievements and raising community awareness of the need to raise standards in literacy and numeracy. In line with the theme of ‘LearningTogether’, a year three class taught a kindergarten class how to make paper planes. As well as being an exercise in cooperation with the older students guiding the younger ones, it was a fun way to explore shape and measurement as the students examined how the shape of the plane affected the length of its flight.

Year four, five and six students explored shape and measurement in a different way. They teamed up in small groups, elected a model and a designer then measured and fitted a winter/spring collection created from sticky tape and newspaper. The models then strutted their stuff on the catwalk accompanied by a commentary detailing the designer’s inspiration. Other activities included the performance of a space and measurement tabloid where years five and six students helped years one and two estimate the volume of containers then measure their actual capacity; estimate length by pacing it out with their feet then measure with a trundle wheel; describe two and three dimensional space and construct examples with drinking straws. Year two and three stu-

lot of people who believe laughter is an absolute science. But although research has been done on it, a lot of it probably hasn’t been as rigorous as it should have been. ‘Despite this, there is a huge humour-and-health movement, and the people involved believe humour improves health.’ Health is not the only area where humour is thought to make a difference. School teachers are being encouraged to ‘lighten up’ their lessons in order to engage students. Far from being a distraction, it seems clowning around in the classroom may actually help students to learn. ‘Engagement is vital in education, and the belief is that humour can help,’ Ms Smith explained. ‘There is a big movement to get teachers to use humour in the classroom. If it is indeed the case [that humour

dents assisted kindergarten students to measure mass and height and compared them with body outlines traced on butcher’s paper. These activities, combining theory and practical application, reinforced lessons already conducted in the individual classes and were enjoyed by all the students participating. It all culminated in the awarding of certificates to recognise levels of excellence already achieved. Five students from each class received Numeracy Certificates for achievement in the space and measurement strands and five students from each class were presented with Literacy Certificates for achievement in spelling. Ballina Shire Council is also participating in the initiative by providing certificates to promote excellence in oral communication.

aids learning], then all of us ought to be using it.’ She said the conference would look at how comedians use humour to tackle serious subjects. ‘Comedians are interested to come and discuss the social issues they are able to address in their acts. Comedy has changed. Comics are much more likely to raise serious issues in their comedy, such as sexual assault, poverty, and mental illness. ‘Comedians break down taboos and get people to talk about things they would never dare to usually.’ The conference will also feature comedic performances, a youth stream for high school students that will include oral presentations, and workshops to develop skills in various types of comedy including radio humour and stand-up comedy.

18 September 5, 2006 Byron Shire Echo

Lilly Pilly Preschool celebrates 25 years of operation in Brunswick Heads and ten years at Bayside. We wish to extend an open invitation to all those who have attended or been actively involved to help us celebrate on Saturday, September 9 from 10am. Brunswick Community Preschool committee began as early as 1982 to fundraise for a new centre when it was realised that the Anglican Church Hall was inadequate for future needs. In 1988 the preschool committee members began lobbying the local council for the land to build new premises. In 1992 the committee succeeded in persuading council to help fund the relocation of Brunswick Community Preschool to Bayside, Brunswick Heads. In September 1995 a steering committee was formed, made up of council and committee members, to plan for the new centre. Construction began in November 1996 Dress-up time for and on February 7, The Possum Group – Pictured 1997 Lilly Pilly clockwise from Community top: Ella, Fernie, Scarlett, Alex, Julian, Oscar, Mackenzey

Preschool opened its doors at 96 Kingsford Drive, Brunswick Heads. For all the committee workers, parents and children who have been part of this journey, Frances and all the staff would love you all to come to our open party and celebrate this milestone. This is also an open invitation to all families in the community to join our Family Fun Day. There will be pony rides, face painting, loads of children’s activities, a craft stall, white elephant stall, live music and fantastic food – a one-day children’s festival. Hope to see lots of our old families coming back to say hello. If it’s raining, still come along as we have a huge indoor area where it will still be happening.

Articles Don Hansen of Amitayus Hospice Service talked with Bangalow identity Kaye Hall shortly before her death

‘Fear is the problem, they have to rescue you’ For the past six years, I’ve been working with Amitayus Hospice Service, a small gathering of volunteers dedicated to helping people with life-threatening illnesses to remain in their own homes while they’re cared for by family and friends. Our role as volunteers is simply to support our client and their primary carer by helping out with the many practical jobs required to run the household, and to assist in providing as much respite and good company as we can. Most of our clients are people with advanced stages of cancer who have already explored and made use of the many treatment options offered by their doctors and/ or alternative health practitioners. Because we recognise that our so-called ‘dying’ or ‘terminally-ill’ clients are still ‘themselves’ and still very much alive, it’s our hope that everyone around them can help them feel completely supported, as comfortable as possible, and that their freedom of choice, their personal integrity and their sense of dignity are preserved. People ask what it’s like to be caring for people who may be close to death, often adding that it must be a very difficult and even scary thing to do. Well, sometimes we do have to deal with challenging situations, like anyone involved in health care. And, yes, on those occasions when people are in pain (and there’s not much you can do except be there), it can be extremely frustrating for the healer and rescuer in all of us. After all, we’re there to help! But most of our Amitayus volunteers will tell you that their work has been much more a gift (or a privilege) than a challenge. If there is a challenge, it’s often felt as a need to be open, straight, sensitive, honest, to listen

and not lay our own agenda on people we’re caring for. They need us to do all sorts of things, but above all to respond to their needs and keep it simple: they teach us to relate to them as living people, not dying people. Well, the above hopefully serves as an intro to the real reason for this article, which is to share a conversation I had with a new friend, a woman named Kaye Hall. I met Kaye when I went to her place in Bangalow to tell her about our service. She explained that she’d had lung cancer for almost three years, she’d had one lung removed, but the cancer had returned and was spreading. Her doctor had told her she may only have four to six weeks left to live. Apart from the business side of our conversation, our sharing of information, I noticed an amazing amount of activity around her bed: people coming and going, the phone ringing (and Kaye answering) every 15 minutes, paperwork and photos everywhere, Kaye planning on going out that night with friends, and she was also preparing to give the welcoming address for the Cancer Council Relay For Life event, which she also helped organise. I noticed two things: she was obviously not physically well, her breathing was laboured, she was on oxygen, yet she was enjoying all the commotion, full of energy and in charge! I later came to understand that that’s who she is, so why would she do anything different? A couple weeks later we had a conversation that I knew would be of real value to anyone who could have overheard what was said. Especially those of us who are friends of (or are caring for) anyone with cancer. Our talk went something like this. I had just asked Kaye how

what to say, so I just make a joke and try and lighten things up. I know they care about me and don’t want me to die, but I wish I could just tell them I’m not actually dead yet. And then there’s the rescuers. They don’t stop to think that I’ve survived for three years, tried chemo, radiation, all kinds of treatments, gone into remission, and now the cancer’s back and spreading and I’ve just got to go do a seminar with Miss Fancy Pants: she’ll save my life! And do people take no for an answer if you tell them you’re not interested?

she was feeling, and if her I think they feel uneasy breathing had been difficult: and they don’t like feeling that way. (We both laugh at No, it hasn’t been too bad the irony of the situation) this week. I felt pretty buggered when I got home last So what you’re saying is that night after dinner. Guess people can find it difficult to that’s to be expected in my relate to you when they condition! (We both laugh.) know that you’ve got cancer At least I’m not in any real and may be dying soon? pain, I’ll tell you I’m real grateful for that. (She pauses Yeah, and in a way it’s like to think for a moment.) I’ll you’re already dead, or at tell ya what, it is a strange least not the same as you were before. experience having cancer. In what way?

Well, you’d think all the symptoms and the bloody treatments and the uncertainty would be the worst part, but ya know, I think the biggest burden is the way some people tend to relate to you, it’s the strangest thing. You mean they feel uneasy with the fact that you’ve been told you’re dying, and they feel they’ve got to do or say something to make it better?

From what I can tell, you haven’t changed a bit! Last Thursday night when I called up to talk to (sister) Helen, she told me you’d been at the pub for a couple hours and were going out for pizza after that! (We both laughed again).

What else am I supposed to do, I’m still alive!

Kaye, I have a feeling lots of people with cancer must experience all sorts of similar reactions from people, even the ones they’re close Yeah, and you know what’s to. What sorts of things have the funniest thing about you had to deal with? that? Well, some people are just What? freaked out and don’t know

I think they feel they’re on a mission, they probably think I’m just resisting, so it’s their duty to insist. I’ve had dozens of people tell me I’ve just got to do this or that. And that if I do I’ll be cured.

choice in the matter. At least if I’m well enough to still enjoy it all. But nature seems random and sometimes not so warm and fuzzy. And anyway, we’re all going to have to die someday, right? Yeah, I can’t assume that everything happens for a reason or is caused by some karmic event. Nature does seem to be quite random and chaotic, and I find it too harsh to assume for example that all the tsunami victims in Southeast Asia somehow created that destiny for themselves. I find it a lot healthier and a lot less pretentious to admit that for me it’s all a big mystery why things happen the way they do.

Otherwise people in my situation would go around feeling guilty about having cancer, rather than getting on with their lives.

Why do you think people What do you think may be respond in these ways? behind our discomfort in relating to someone we I’m sure there are all kinds know having cancer? Is it of reasons, but I tell you, this that it makes us feel our is the hardest thing about own vulnerability and morhaving cancer. I know people tality? care about you, so they don’t want you to die. That’s fair Exactly! It’s fear! And that enough, I understand that. fear is the problem, right? But when demands are put When people feel that, they on you to get better, what if either write you off or they you don’t, does that mean have to do something to resyou’re a failure? Hello, I cue you. don’t think so! So maybe, despite their genHave you run across the uinely not wanting to lose belief that if you really want you, they unconsciously to get better, you will, react on the basis of their because after all, we create fear, and then they end up in our own diseases any way? a way wanting something from you other than you just Yeah, that’s a good one. I being yourself. We project believe you can do a lot with our own fears onto the very will power, positive thinking, same one we want to help. all of that. I’ve kept myself Yeah, when that happens, going for these last three years, for my family, enjoying I feel like I have to do my life, and I know I’ll stay something to make them feel around here if I have any better.

North coast chambers of commerce get the ear of roads minister Roozendaal Members of North Coast Chambers of Commerce recently visited the NSW Parliament to argue the case for fast-tracking the upgrade of the Pacific Highway. Fourteen Chambers of Commerce and Australian Business Limited Regional Councils were represented by the delegation. The delegation met with Roads Minister Eric Roozendaal, Opposition Leader Peter Debnam, Nationals Leader Andrew Stoner and Member for Port Macquarie Rob Oakeshott. ‘We had frank and productive discussions with all of the members of Parliament,’

said Sharon Cadwallader, ABL State Chamber Regional Manager for the Northern Rivers and delegation leader. ‘Business sent a clear message that we need to fasttrack the upgrading of the Pacific highway to dual-carriageway.’ Ms Cadwallader said that the delegation received a commitment from the Opposition Leader that the Pacific Highway would be declared critical infrastructure under a NSW Coalition government. Mr Roozendaal has also undertaken that the state government would consider

using the critical infrastructure provisions within State planning legislation to fasttrack the project. ‘Thirty four lives were lost last year, countless more people were injured and with each accident local economies take a hit. Perceptions about the safety of the highway are one of the reasons that Sydney families and holiday makers are no longer making their annual holiday road trip. ‘[The] meetings are the start of an ongoing campaign by the business community to put the Pacific Highway back on the political agenda.

Our next priority will be to meet with the federal government and opposition in Canberra to urge them for greater assistance in completing the upgrade.’ Ms Cadwallader said that the delegation included representatives from areas such as Port Macquarie, Byron Bay, Kingscliff, Camden Haven , Manning Valley, Ballina, Tweed, Woolgoolga and Nambucca Heads. The Pacific Highway Taskforce has welcomed the commitment from Northern NSW business chambers to support an immediate upgrade of the Pacific High-

way to a safer dual carriageway. Chairman, Kyogle Mayor Ernie Bennett, said the taskforce had been urging both the state and federal governments to commit more funding to the $8 billion project, to deliver a dual carriageway highway between Hexham and Brisbane by 2016. ‘We have always been aware that a safer highway will have a significant economic impact. Now businesses have identified that an unsafe highway costs jobs as well as lives. ‘It is a concern to north coast councils the state of the

highway is affecting tourism as more motorists re-think their holiday plans to avoid travelling on the Pacific Highway. What is needed is for the state and federal governments to commit to an historic level of funding to fix the Pacific Highway once and for all.’ Cr Bennett said the support of business chambers for a dual carriageway highway was a significant boost for the campaign. He said the Taskforce’s next step was to meet with both the state and federal governments.

It gets a bit tragic towards the end of the week but on Friday nightowls can fit in two winners: 1. The wonderful Julianne Moore and Dennis Quaid star in Far From Heaven (Prime, 8.45pm), in which a 50s dreamworld is shattered by cold reality – you get that. Later on, 2. Billy Bob Thornton, Bridget Fonda and Bill Paxton join the criminal class in A Simple Plan (NBN, 12.40am). In case you hadn’t noticed, next Monday is 9/11 and we’ll be treated to a thorough post mortem with arrows and diagrams on the demolition of 3. the World Trade Centre. Prime gets away early on Sunday night, when ABC begins an interesting series called The Worst Jobs In History at 7.30pm. Echo drudges, please note.

The other day I had an interview scheduled with the two Mishas. It can be very confusing, both Mishas are DJs and both have shows on Bay FM. Fortunately they both have very separate identities: Micha is known as Mister Micha and Misha is DJ Shuffle. Misha and Micha have combined forces to create the closing party for Bay FM’s Radiothon on Friday at the Buddha Bar, and by all accounts, this is going to be one spectacular event. I asked the boys why they felt Bay FM was important to our community. Micha went on to say: ‘For me it is quite a clear contrast to commercial media and should be treated as such. I think it’s important to have independent media in your local area. I want to contribute to make it more colourful – there are just so many great programs.’ The other Misha added: ‘It also gives programs and music that wouldn’t get to commercial airwaves the chance to be heard‌ It keeps the community together. You listen and you know what happened down the road. It keeps all these little towns connected and gives local businesses a chance to attract more clientele.’ And according to Micha ‘You have the opportunity to change something. It’s also a great way of getting local arts out in the community, and basically it’s just a very interesting organisation to get involved with.’ Both Mishas have a background in the music industry. Mister Micha is currently working with Vitamin Records and has just started his own events company which will see him working with the Exodus Festival this year. DJ Shuffle originally

POSSIBLE OSS ‘came through the hip hop scene, and then funk and then started hanging out with DJ’s and musicians. I put a band together and also started managing the band (Mighty Pragmatics). I make the music and bring in vocalists. My stuff is mainly live with some sampling techniques. Basically I sample my own sounds.’ With Bay FM in their glamourous new studios, it’s

even more important for the humble little station to receive more subscriptions. The station now has to front rent and will still need to upgrade equipment. While the new surrounds make the station appear more affluent, it’s actually less. ‘The new studios will make it harder to sell the need for funding, but we have rent to pay now. It costs about $2000

On a positive note, the new studios have given local musicians, announcers and budding radio journalists the chance to work in a studio that is closer to those found in commercial radio. Misha: ‘It’s getting technically in the realm of professional radio. Although I did love the old shack, it kind of stood for

Byron. Funky groovy, very beachy. But this is great, now we have a spaceship!’ The Radiothon closing party is the final major event to celebrate the end of the month long drive for radio subscriptions. Micha: ‘Traditionally it’s a thank you to the community as well as a fundraiser.’ The other Misha adds: ‘We are putting together a quality

show for a broad audience. This year we thought to combine live music and the club environment by splitting the night across two venues. We have a party at Play later in the evening, but the Buddha Bar is really the one that kicks off the whole event.’ The Buddha Bar starts at 5.30pm with Greg Sheehan, Tommee from Tommee and the Neighborhood, Skankomatics, Rub-a Dub Sound System, DJ Del Larkin and headliners, the gypsy inspired Stipsky. Inside the Buddha Bar is even more activity, with DJ Martin B, Yeshe and the DB’s Jazz Quartet. The bottom floor of the Buddia Bar is the Red Hot Salsa Club and features Radio Latina DJ’s and sumptuous dance. Throughout the entire venue will be roving circus events and meals will be available all evening. Misha went on to say: ‘We want to create a festival feel for the closing event!’ The DJ’s start at Play at 10pm and go through until 3pm with DJ Madhu, Nick Taylor, POB and Si-Clone having their way with the decks. There will be a subscriber desk at the Buddha Bar, buses to take punters between venues and a massive prize draw with myself and the wondrous Pavitar. Make sure you are there from 5.30pm so you don’t miss out. Tix are just $10 for subscribers and non subscribers are $15. This gets you entry to both venues.

Pretty soon motorists won’t only be pulled over to test for alcohol consumption, they’ll also be tested for drugs as well. The days of blowing into the bag are well and truly over, it was so macho. These days the boys and girls in blue have a much more feminised system for ascertaining blood alcohol – one merely gets to count into the box. Last time I was pulled over I thought it was a roadside numeracy test. After I’d counted, the friendly officer then asked me the square root of 64. He then took the keys and drove me to the station where I was given some tutoring. Apparently I’d blown a number. I find the counting thing a bit ‘numerist’. I’m a literature major. Next time I’m pulled over, I’m going to request that I be allowed to recite a soliloquy from Hamlet. ‘To be, or not to be, that is the question. Whether one is sober enough to decide not to drive, or so pissed you think you’re fine.’ That is the conundrum. It’s no longer alcohol-affected motorists that will be targeted, the stoned, speeding and love trippers are up for it as well. Say hello to the roadside swab. A small sample of saliva will be taken from your

mouth with results in just minutes. (Next year Mr Iemma is thinking of introducing a pap amear and for the boys a quick prostate examination.) It would appear the targeted substances are speed, marijuana and ecstasy. That’s fair enough. But what about heroin and cocaine? Is one to assume that while speed is bad, it’s ok to do a few lines of coke before you hit the bitumen? At least coke makes you alert. The narcoleptic effect of heroin can make it a rather dangerous drug at the wheel. At no time while steering a moving vehicle should the driver take a quick nap. And what if the driver had a prohibited substance two days before? Will a few tokes on a joint on Tuesday turn up on a mouth swab on Thursday? I would never advocate driving stoned, but I’ve never had pot that good that it took you off the road for two days. The marijuana swab is sure to affect a lot of north coast motorists. I have had discussions with friends

who insist they drive better when they’re stoned. Hello – have you ever driven behind yourself? It’s when caution becomes a danger. The average stoned driver can take up to 10 minutes just to leave the driveway, and that’s just as a pedestrian! A mouth swab seems terribly invasive and the one can only worry about the infringement of civil liberties. Every mouth swab will contain DNA. What happens with it after collection? I don’t think you need to swab to test for drugs. I have my own non-invasive tests I am thinking of putting forward to Mr Iemma. To test for marijuana, simply offer a tray of Tim Tams. Soon as they reach for that choccy, you got em and for ecstasy, just pull the driver over and when he winds down the window say: ‘I love you’. If he says ‘I love you too man’, you got ‘em, swab free. The best way to test for LSD is to approach the vehicle and if it turns into a spaceship, they’re fucked.

live music GET ON THE BACK OF THE UKE The Vista is back, with a sharp new line up, new toilets and wheelchair access! To kick off the new Spring season Sara Tindley graces the stage again with her Aussie songs, choppy guitar and totally therapeutic vocal style. Tamworth born Guy Kachel crosses rock and country in a Byron way and you can also catch Rebecca Ireland. Ex lead singer from the Re-Mains, Mick Daley debuts at the club with his contemporary gutsy Country Rock sound and sharp songs as does local singer/guitarist Cheynne Murphy, who calls his music ‘Moody, melodic acoustic roots rock’. Guitar and sax street musos from the Tweed Coast, Hairy Pickle heard about the Byron Vista Social Club and called in to make a booking. Mook, Shanto, Gabi, Paddy and Evan make up the Vista Crue, and bring you five part harmonies and a bluegrassy sort of happening that usually involves everybody in the hall. To top off this talent-studded night, members of the North Coast Ukulele Collective (meets last Thursday of every month at 7pm at the Park Hotel Suffolk Park) will perform a few ukey tunes while plugging the Guinness attempt at ‘The World’s

Biggest Ukulele Orchestra’. This will happen at the opening of the inaugural Bangalow Pacific Songwriter’s Festival at the A&I Hall at the end of October. Sunday at 7.30pm. Admission still only $10. Ewingsdale Halle Berry. Donations lovingly accepted.

POP POP POP MUSIC It was my favourite era. Absolute cheesy disco pop. I still can’t hear Ra Ra Rasputin without remembering those heady nights in satin shorts taking out third place in a wet t-shirt competition. Hey, it wasn’t degrading, I won a free vodka. That was cool. I was underage. This Saturday night at the Beach Hotel, get with the gang with DiskoPop, a wild mannered yet entertainingly accessible beast, comprising of the titillating twosome – Miss T and Mr Disco. The elegant and flamboyantly attired DJs serve up a smorgasboard of indelible delights guaranteed to get you wiggling and jiggling your way across the dance floor as soon as they hit the stage. Expect a dazzling array of disco danceable 70s hiphop rockin electric 80s funk soul power pop to whet your whistle and tantalise your musical tastebuds urging your feet into action, followed by bodily abandon.

The hallmark of DiskoPop is the no holds barred, hands in the air, no shame whatsoever passionate addiction to music that is plain and simply: FUN. No superstar DJ egos here and no tune too tacky to be considered as a request. DiskoPop loves the cheesy, the corny and the cool. All Pop songs are equal, just some are more equal than others. Don’t forget to write up your favourite tracks on the request board on the night, or just email them to: diskopop@hotmail.com

FULL MOON FUNDRAISING As a lead in to the very organic and rootsy Wollumbin Festival, the crew are putting together a Spring Full Moon fundraising party at Durrumbul Hall. Starting off at 6pm with a traditional fire ceremony with Uncle John Roberts, an art exhibition by Patsy Bundjulahm Nagus, poetry by the dominatrix of verse, Gina Lacosta, and music by Two Colour Mountain, Folk’n absolute Soul, Evolove, Funky High Vibes, Bushmen’s Roots, Love Rock Reggae and more. With the Kundalini Cafe tickling your fancy with their sumptuous delights, and chai by Hari Hare Chai, this is going to be one full moon meltdown! Friday night for

just $13. Kids are free. (I would dispute that, kids are very very expensive! But they do get into the gig for nothing.)

MY FAVOURITE MARTIN Yes it’s true! After his highly successful recent Australian tour, Jeff Martin returns downunder to treat fans nationwide to an enthralling musical experience. This is what Jeff had to say: ‘Thankfully, the time has come once again to tour the great land of Oz. During past Tea Party tours I have been witness to the growing appreciation of world music elements that were central to the magic created by Jeff Burrows, Stuart Chatwood and myself. In this time, unfortunately we are unable to come together to reinvent those moments. However, the clouds have parted and an artistic friendship, which has been simmering for ten years has now been put on the front burner. Ritesh Das, one of the foremost tabla players in the world has been my coconspirator in bringing world music to the rock and roll front line. What this means musically and artistically is a reinvention and re-evaluation of the songs I have written in the past and present, with a tangent toward the future.

MARKETING YOUR MUSIC So you’ve got some musical talent. Maybe you’re a genius. Problem is champ, no one is going to discover you in your room. The business of music is probably the biggest stumbling block for most musos. Every week I get info from musicians and bands about what they do. In most cases it’s badly written and poorly presented. It’s no

indication of the music. The music is usually fabulous, it’s just one of those unpleasant difficult jobs that seems too hard to tackle. I mean who wants to ring people up or write stuff about how fabulous you are. What a wank. But the reality is your music is a business and you have to market it. Musicoz is running an accredited short course in Music Marketing through their Mullumbimby office starting on Thursday 12 October and places are strictly limited to just 8. This means the course will be personalised, intensive and interactive. This course is practically based with a marketing plan as the core outcome and it is designed for north coast artists/musicians and creative professionals who may be passionate about a career in the music industry but lack the confidence or skills to make this happen. This is accredited training and unemployed people are eligible to use training credits.

In the 6 week program you will learn about the latest music industry trends, how to write an artist marketing plan, how to develop the music ‘product’ including brand and image strategies, how to use the tools of music promotion to increase sales, how to use the internet to promote and distribute music, how to get publicity and much more. Any enquiries can be directed to Shane Murphy from Wingspan Music on 6680 4680/0414 855 997 or wingspan@optusnet.com.au

THE THRILL AIN’T GONE! Thrillbilly Stomp invite all their friends and lovers to come on over to the Bangalow Hotel on Saturday for a night of celtic, cajun and bluegrass music. Special guests for the night are local tap dance sensation The Mongrel Dogs. You’re never over the hill if you can stomp like an imbecile. Go on, have some fun, I dare you!

The North Coast Dance Festival (a not for profit organisation) was started by a group of local teachers as a way to provide our local dance students with an opportunity to develop and display theatrical performance and technical skills on stage in an environment of friendly and fun competition with their peers. Saturday is mainly solo, duo and trio dances and Sunday is the very entertaining group/troupe day. Throughout the weekend in true Byron style there are choreographic competitions

where students produce and perform their own dance pieces. Our area is well known for the many dancers that go on to professional careers, for many it is these festivals where it all starts. The Festival offers an opportunity for all dancers to get feedback on their work from dance professionals. This years adjudicator is Janece Graham. The funds raised from the Festival canteen and raffle will go towards Wilsons Creek School and Heart to Heart Foundation, (Sue Whiteman charity foundation raising money for the Tsunami victims in Southern Thailand). Enjoy great food, great entertainment and a great charity to support, get your tutus and tap shoes on and be there. 8.30pm until 10pm.

CHARITY AUCTION SHOP YOURSELF STUPID! Charity Auctions are the ultimate way to shop! It’s getting close to Chrissy, so it’s the perfect opportunity to snap up a few bargains! You

get to buy what you want, knowing that the money doesn’t go to business, doesn’t go in any one person’s pocket but to a very worthwhile charity: Byron Bay Preschool. I sent two of my kids there and can attest that it’s a great committed little pre-school. It’s getting tougher for pre-schools to survive as the financial landscape prefer’s the funding model for long day care, and therefore a lot of our community based pre-schools are under real pressure to stay operating in the preschool format. While long day care is a very needed service, it’s important to maintain services whose primary aim is pre-school education for the kiddies. Enough said. There are thousands of dollars up for bid and I’ll be your auctioneer in a black brassiere. Come along and join in for a night of fun: 6685 3932/0438 853 932 and ask for Nikki! Saturday night at the Suffolk Park Hotel at 6pm, and it’s just $5 for wine and cheese. Book with friends and have a ball!

WITH DENZIL

Inevitably dollars are the bottom line for most door policies. Obviously it’s a numbers game. One in, one out. The more heads through the gate, the fatter the swagbag for the bank on Monday. But here’s the rub. If a cue is comprised of mainly guys and you let them all in, what have you got? Yep, it’s a sausage sizzle. You might as well string a mirror ball up at a monthly footy club meet. Now, to some women, a ratio which renders a Pantene flick impossible without temporarily blinding at least three men has to be an

attractive prospect. But I reckon the consensus would be to the contrary, due to many women being besieged by randoms. To be honest, I can’t be arsed finding statistics to substantiate this, because they’re irrelevant anyway. It’s just the vibe, which we’ll come back to later. As a ‘sizzle’ counter measure, many bouncers filter the ratio at the door. If you’re a bloke, this means your eyes may frequently follow the length of a bouncer’s finger extended towards the end of the cue, or worse, the end of the street. But let’s not forget the prevailing circumstances of such a situation. You’re sporting some tidy clobber. OK. You’re out to ‘av it LARGE, but your sobriety is, at this point, still on a leash. OK. You’re rolling with your buddies, Ron and Don. OK. You forgot the baps. ACCESS DENIED! Now while you’re standing there contemplating whether you could strangle the bouncer with the dividing rope, such a policy may seem insane. Later though, when you return with three women and actually get inside, the penny starts to drop.

GOOD OL’ BBQ METAPHOR equilibrium. A harmonious balance between the sexes. There’s a bap for every sausage. Now I’m not saying that this ratio eventuates in action for every body. It

doesn’t have to be about that. It’s just the vibe. When it’s all in check, you lose the ubiquitous three guys trying to tune the same girl and the chance of brawls decreases.

Unfortunately, for many punters music is superfluous. It’s just a common ground, the soundtrack to getting some. So considering 1 + 1 = 2, it would seem logical to let an equal amount of Jim Beams and Melony Breezers through the door. Not surprisingly, in the long run, it fills the till as well. Patrons head home after a cracking night in hope of a HOT DOG, perhaps not consciously aware of why the night worked so well, and they soon come back to ride the vibe again. Well it works

in theory anyway. Back to the aroma of our good ol’ BBQ metaphor. Of course this theory is based on a 100% hetero model. Of course, only sausage and only bap barbecues suit some people down to the ground. Bread stacked on bread like the shelves of a bakery is heaven for some. Ultimately my attempt to end this piece with reference to the original metaphor has left me confused as to what the salad represents. So I’ll leave that up to you.

As the hype surrounding DJ PERIL and his ‘King of the Beats’ album release goes from strength to strength, comes the news that the veteran of the Australian urban scene will be hitting the road for a national tour alongside rising stars N’Fa and Suburban Intellect as well as local acts. They’ll be hitting Byron on Saturday 9th to play the Great Northern.

Last week I went to a barbecue where the ingredient ratios were all wrong. There was no salad and the sausages far outnumbered their accompanying baps. It was a sausage sizzle, in the truest sense. Unless you’re an avid carnivore, meat alone doesn’t make for a memorable meal. At some point, I imagined vegetarians and bread lovers uniting with scolding spatula in hand, and branding the chef with a timely reminder, it would simply read – REMEMBER THE BAPS. Although rather random, it takes no stretch of the mind to see this situation as a metaphor for nightclub door policy.

Earth 'n' Sea P Restauran

Celebration shows the big heart of a local business

September marks Earth 'n' Sea Pizza & Pasta Restaurant’s 30th Birthday! A party will be held on Tuesday September 19th. Earth 'n' Sea Pizza & Pasta Restaurant invites all past and present staff and pizzaholics to let down their hair and eat pizza for charitable causes. So if you’ve ever been a part of the Earth 'n' Sea culture – this is for you! ‘We have much to celebrate’, say David and Denise Woolsey, proprietors of the restaurant that has evolved into an iconic destination for travellers and is highly praised by the thousands of people who keep coming back. ‘Turning 30 years old in business is a great achievement and to come runner up in the ďŹ nals for best pizza in the state in the very same year has taken our breath away,’ continues Denise.

Prize winning pizzas In July, Earth 'n' Sea Pizza & Pasta restaurant was awarded the Best Cheese Pizza in NSW in the Dairy Farmers Best of the Best Pizza competition. This is the ďŹ rst time a pizza restaurant outside Sydney made it to the ďŹ nals. At the end of the day Earth 'n' Sea now rank in the top three pizza-makers in NSW!

Local staff Hundreds of locals have worked at Earth 'n' Sea over the past 30 years. Currently the business employs in excess of 40 local people. ‘We think it’s important to the wealth of our region’, says Denise Woolsey about resisting the growing business trend to employ transients at low wages. ‘It might cost us more in wages, but it adds to customer satisfaction and the welfare of community’, continues David Woolsey.

Local suppliers Apart from providing local jobs, the progressive business duo is committed to ďŹ nancially empowering the local business community. ‘Local suppliers come ďŹ rst’, says Denise. Cape Byron Foods, Fruitos for fruit & veg, local butcher Trevor Mead for fresh beef, and Country Fine Foods in Mullum for small goods. Minimising food miles plays a role in all decision-making processes.

Caring for the environment Earth 'n' Sea's environmentally friendly operational systems include recycled pizza boxes, bio-degradable grease traps, organic cleaning products and has an effective in-house recycling system. Earth 'n' Sea is also Green Partners with ReGenesis’ bio-recycling service.

Surf culture has always played a role at Earth 'n' Sea including the sponsorship of several surf clubs and surfers from the Byron Bay area. ‘Supporting local endeavour is an important part of our business. Believing in community is essential, we feed the Street Cruise workers every Friday night because they are doing an admirable job for our kids. With business ethics like these it is little wonder Earth 'n' Sea is embraced and supported by its loyal clientele.

Thanks to all Denise, David and Nora (smallest member of the management team) would like to thank their staff past and present – and their customers for their support over the last 30 years, and look forward to these relationships continuing well into the future.

Avoiding of course those loaded words should, must and ought. CANCER: This Friday’s full Moon in Pisces stirs things up, and weekend Aries Moon keeps on stirring. A niggly, argumentative week – so if you’re not feeling flash, lie low and keep out of the firing line. The truth isn’t out there, it’s in there. LEO: Even the most eloquent, entertaining words won’t count for everything this week. What matters most is the way you behave, what you do rather than what you say. And most of all – the real acid test – how you make people feel.

P : 6684 1777 F : 6684 1719 Pluto moves out of retrograde in Sagittarius. And indisputably the week for following your lucky impulse‌ CAPRICORN: Expect power plays with someone (else) wanting to run the show this week, and possible aggravating interference from authority figures. That said, the upside looks like bringing a successful business coup – always a number one mood enhancer. AQUARIUS: This week’s only interested in workable information, commonsense facts, nuts and bolts propositions. Anything too woo woo or out there is likely to get the rough end of the critical pineapple, so better wear your sensible hat and look serious‌ PISCES: With Virgo vibes hustling everyone to redefine their lives you might be feeling something’s missing without knowing exactly what that is.

There are some fine movies about making movies - Day For Night and State And Maine spring to mind - but this has got to be the best of them, with prodigious British director Michael Winterbottom successfully undertaking the enormous task of transferring Laurence Sterne’s 18th century opus to the screen. I have begun the book at least four times and always found it impenetrable, but Winterbottom, like a rodeo rider on a mad-headed horse, has gripped the reins and somehow held on. Instead of doing a page for page recreation, he transfers the focus of his story to the actors and crew who are making the film. Scenes move liquidly from the period to the present, often without costume changes, and there is a touch of the Monty Pythons in how the bizarre becomes commonplace. Sterne’s unorthodox and rambling fictional biography, a sort of Georgian literary scat, is more or less based on the observation that every man is the hero of his own life. Both co-stars, Bob Bryden and Steve Coogan, follow this dictum to the max as actors playing Tristram and his Uncle Toby - and themselves. It’s all over the place but it’s also brainy and hilarious. John Campbell.

UNITED 93 The revelatory component of any story is lost entirely when that story is as well known as this, but Paul Greengrass has managed an unexpectedly gripping account of what happened on one of the ill-fated planes of 9/11. United 93 departed Newark, bound for San Francisco, with a load of everyday people. The ensuing terror is tracked with meticulous research and great tact. More time is at first spent with air traffic controllers as the drama of that morning unfolds, but the latter stages are devoted almost entirely to those on board. There aren’t any weaknesses in an unfamiliar cast, none of whom is elevated to a starring role,

meaning that the viewer is more susceptible to the tragedy instead of to tawdry glamour. The film is also free of polemic - indeed, if there is any surprise it lies in the treatment of the hijackers. Though hardly forgiven, they are presented as men of different

Adrian Cronauer: Hey, we’re back. That last two seconds of silence was Marcel Marceau’s newest hit single, “Walkin In The Wind.� And now, here are the headlines. Here they come right now. Pope actually found to be Jewish. Liberace is Anastasia and Ethel Merman jams Russian radar. The East Germans, today, claimed the Berlin Wall was a fraternity prank. Also the Pope decided today to release Vatican-related bath products. An incredible thing, yes, it’s the new Pope On A Rope. That’s right. Pope On A Rope. Wash with it, go straight to heaven. Thank you based on the autobiographical account of Corinne Hofmann, a Swiss woman who immersed herself in a culture totally alien to her own. This is a fascinating film, a culture clash of intimate proportions. The view of Samburu life is amazing, they’re a tribe of the Masai, the insight into the Masai culture may not

appeal to all women, but it adds to the journey of this highly sophisticated Western woman who takes on her husband’s world - to an extent. The landscape is a big part of the attraction of this film as is the culture. It’s really strong, emotionally and culturally.

personalities, ranging from the firebrand to the introspective. Nor is Greengrass afraid to demostrate that they share the same emotions as the passengers whom they so pitilessly condemned.

IN THE RED Ho r a t i o Bi t e m a r k TOSSER DIGBY had just gone through his morning wake-up routine of two hours of Japanese water bucket martial arts, leaving three of the valets winded and sweating profusely in their padded jackets. Having completed my workout of a stretch, a yawn and a cup of coffee, I suggested we swan up the coast to see his pater for Fathers Day. ‘Well, Bitemark,’ replied Digby, removing the protective bamboo mask. ‘Two factors militate against it. Firstly, the day is a commercial invention of the damn Yanks, and secondly, it is a dashed sentimental thing to do.’

Digby was persuaded and I think, too, by the opportunity to ride in my new Audi TT, which I bought chiefly for the fact it beats the Maserati on nought to one hundred by point two of a second, and it came in a rather fetching teal, which is the name of the colour approved by the fashion police when blue-green simply will not do. Having turned off the highway at Sextons Hill we motored into the hinterland until we came to Digby Estate, some 200 hectares landscaped in the old English fashion and bristling with follies, shrines to Greek muses, lakes and demented peacocks. We were shown into the study by Frensham the butler, whose sangfroid almost rivals that of Sanders. Digby senior rose excitedly from his chair and rushed over to his only son, who protected himself with a large bouquet of red carnations.

‘Threw these together for you,’ mumbled Digby junior almost imperceptibly. This was the man who had walked a tightrope across the Abyss of Doom outside of Nairobi while shaving with a cutthroat razor for a varsity bet without a shred of fear.

‘I say, Aloysius, they’re gorgeous!’ exclaimed Mr Digby, a tear forming in his ancient eye. ‘Steady on, no need to blub,’ said a worried son. There is a rebellion from one generation to the next, they say, unless one is completely squashed under the thumb of a ruthless patriarch or matriarch or, in Bosworth’s case, by a child-rearing robot invented by his eccentric uncle. The child of the angel-headed hipster becomes an actuary, the progeny of the business tycoon assembles expressionist canvases in a seedy loft in Berlin. One could surmise that the roguish adventurer Digby fils is the equal and opposite areaction to Digby pere, a cultivated violinist and orchid breeder who would weep profusely at the sight of a ladybird struggling into a stiff breeze. Mr Digby greeted me warmly as possessing a soul more kindred to his own than was his son’s. He had in fact named a species of a rather florid orchid after me. Greetings done with, we sauntered into the dining room and Mr Digby ordered up from the cellar a 1982 Rive Gauche RisquĂŠ Wildean Epigram Pinot Noir. It hovered on the brink of greatness in the mouth, speaking of raspberry and pot-pourri, hinting at a destination beyond the ken of the human palate, where angels sup on dew shaken from butterflies’ legs. Waiters brought out Rapprochement of Trout Avec Oeufs PochĂŠ et Canard Surprise in support of the pinot noir and a fine time was had, quaffing, eating and conversing animatedly. After port and cheese we bade goodbye to a tearful Mr Digby and tootled south towards the beckoning Myocum clubhouse. ‘I say, Digby, that wasn’t too bad, what?’ I suggested, shifting the Audi into fifth. ‘I do believe you enjoyed catching up with your dear old dad.’ ‘Um yes,’ admitted Digby rather sheepishly. ‘Do you think you could pass that Porsche dawdling up ahead?’

A TALE FROM A RESTAURANT Vi c t o r i a C o s f o r d There was a restaurant she loved because of its anonymity, its dark lamp-lit tables where she could dine inconspicuously alone, a book in front of her to suggest comfortable self-reliance, those city single days. More often than not she would observe the other diners, absorb the conversations which eddied around her, as if some arcane truth might be transmitted, the secret of Happy Relationships, perhaps. This particular night the dining-room was less populated than normal. She ordered from the blackboard specials and sat back with a glass of wine. The couple at the next table appeared to be halfway through their meal, their flutes of champagne suggesting a celebration of some sort. She looked much younger than him, although his baldness might have been merely premature. All she could really see of the girl were the large plastic earrings which dangled either side of a dark fringe; she wondered if he had just proposed marriage, although there was something about the way they faced each other which intimated, rather, a challenge. They had not spoken since they arrived and so it came as a surprise when the conversation began. Hardly a conversation, this struck out as a clumsy monologue on the part of the man. He was sawing away at a prism of meat and with upward stabbing motions using his knife in between the serrations to punctuate the dullness of his story. She could tell the girl was bored by the way the earrings danced their way around the directions of her head: she seemed to barely look at him. That he was trying hard there was no doubt, except that no-one, presumably, had ever taught him that part of the art of conversation was to involve the listener, and he had thus far not asked of the girl anything about herself or any opinion she might hold. As for the girl, she had abandoned all pretense at toying with the half lobster she had so glamorously ordered, and had slumped back in her seat with the flute pressed grimly to her orange lips. She was thinking that, had her table not been right next to theirs, had it been at the other end of the dining room, she would have been able to add this couple to her gloomily-growing list of Happy Relationships: precisely the sort of partnership which so ruthlessly highlighted her own single, solitary status, her inability at striking the right emotional connection. It was obvious that these two barely knew each other, that it was a first date, that – quite possibly – she was even just a hooker whom he was wining and dining before bedding. And yet there was something so brave and good about the man. His steak finished, he had flagged down the flower seller, plucked a note from his wallet and purchased a rose in a cylinder. The flower seller had made a light-hearted comment about a rose for a sweetheart and the proud, hopeful face of the man as he passed the cylinder across the table was so intimate and so poignant she felt like a voyeur. She had to look away immediately – and so missed the girl rising and gathering up her handbag, though did hear her excusing herself to go to the bathroom. In the meantime her meal had arrived – the Prawn Salad this restaurant did so admirably – her wine glass topped up. Rain outside was audible; the room felt swaddled in cosiness, the prawns were sweet and the wine was mellow and she could see the man waving away the waiter who had approached with dessert menus. ‘I’ll consult the little lady when she comes back,’ she heard him say. When the prawns and the wine were finished she could see that the bald man was still waiting for the little lady to return to him. He was fidgeting – checking his wallet, fiddling with his tie, playing an imaginary piano with his fingers thrumming across the tablecloth. The dessert menus were sitting neatly in front of him, closed. She ordered her bill to arrive with a short black; despite the almost-empty dining room both took a long time to arrive. The tableau was becoming almost too sad to bear. As if on cue, the man pushed his chair back and stood up as her coffee arrived. There was a moment when he picked up the cylinder containing the rose and encircled it with his fingers, as if deliberating. Then he put it back on the table and walked over to the cash register by the door. Paid, and left. Another single soul out into the night air; a nasty girl somewhere on a bus home; an unwanted rose on a white table cloth. And her habitual sense of a universe of happy couples excluding her utterly rearranged.

bands sounded like we did. These days you can hear the Buzzcocks in lots of bands, but that wasn’t around then. And the standard of the songs too – even though we write them!’ When I invite Diggle to identify what it was that inspired the Buzzcocks originally, it reads like a treatise written by a punk impressario. ‘Anger, frustration, boredom’, Diggle replies. ‘We weren’t trying to sound like other bands. It was the end of the prog rock era. Songs were coming as long as the whole album. Bands weren’t saying a lot at that time.”

GETTING THE

STEVE DIGGLE CHATS WITH PATRICK EMERY

It’s hard to imagine what the snotty young English punks of 1976 would’ve said if it’d been suggested that some of their lot would still be playing 30 years later. After all punk had been constructed as a razor sharp reaction to the boring old farts saturating the commercial airwaves in the mid 1970s. One of the protopunk bands, The Buzzcocks, burst out of Manchester having been inspired by the Sex Pistols’ attitude and sound. In contrast to the Pistols’ nihilistic interpretation of the simple roots of rock’n’roll, The Buzzcocks

ON BRILLIANCE

created a sound that blended the energy and enthusiasm of punk with the melodic quality of pop. Thirty years later the Buzzcocks are still going, and show no immediate signs of stopping, having just released a new album Flat-Pack Philosophy and embarking on a world tour to promote the album. So what is it about the Buzzcocks that’s so inspiring? ‘We made our own records’, Diggle says. ‘That inspired a lot of bands to make their own records. And no other

presents its 2006

As with many successful punk bands, a large percentage of the band’s initial attraction can be traced back to empathy between the band and its audience. “People saw us as ordinary guys, not big rock stars”, Diggles says. ‘We never made records to have hits. We made them for ordinary people. We thought ‘let’s make a statement about things’. Hopefully we inspired people to think, read books.’ Diggle may be older and wiser in 2006, but he’s still angry. ‘Oh yeah! That’s why there’s songs on the album like Big Brother Wheels and Sell You Everything. It’s now marketing people, not politicians who are directing our lives. But we’re not necessarily saying it’s a bad thing or a good thing – we’re just pointing out things.’ A notable deviation from the standard operating bullshit of

the music industry was the late John Peel. Peel spent his life championing new music, including the fledgling UK punk movement in the mid 1970s. In late 2005 a group of artists, including the Buzzcocks collaborated on a version of the Buzzcocks’ Ever Fallen In Love as a tribute to Peel. Diggle doesn’t believe anyone has – or maybe ever will – take over Peel’s role as a passionate advocate for new music. ‘There doesn’t seem to be. John Peel was a unique thing at the time. He was playing weird records before punk, but when punk came along he changed his whole show. It was a pleasure to do that song – his family asked us to do it, which was very touching.’ Despite the omnipresent hyperbole about the impact of on-line access to new music on new and established artists, it has seen the single return to its historical glory – albeit in a different guise. Diggle, not surprisingly, still loves the single concept. ‘The single was always an important part of punk. Downloading songs now is almost too easy!’ Diggle cherishes the single, seeing it as something far more important than a simple transaction. ‘It’s one of the greatest things’, he says. ‘It’s as good as sex in some ways. You put it on, and it’s like ‘fuck!’ It’s like going to the local supermarket and buying a Picasso!’ THE BUZZCOCKS PLAY THE HOTEL GREAT NORTHERN ON THURSDAY.

There’s a quiet softness to the music of Holly Throsby. After recording an album with ‘the windows open’ Holly suddenly found herself on tour. It was all unplanned, unexpected, but gloriously perfect. Her first album and this most recent release ‘Under the Town’ was produced by Tony Dupe in his modest dwelling on the South Coast. The smallness of the production gave Holly the chance to get ‘hands on’ from the outset. ‘I like to be pretty involved, the first album I made was a lot quieter – a lot of field sounds – from having the windows open, you can hear lots of birds. This time we closed the windows.’ ‘I have a strong sense of what songs are like, and what kind of sounds I enjoy hearing. I tend to prefer music that is underproduced rather than overproduced. We recorded onto an 8 track tape machine – a lot of the time these days if you work in the studio, most people go straight to computers. The old time version of recording creates a lot warmer sound and you do get a lot of imperfections as well, you can just hear the room – I was happy with that.’ ‘I think different kinds of production suits different types of music, and that’s why I worked with Tony. He really listens and is quiet and

Give awaY

thoughtful and very respectful. He has a lot more respect for songs in their original state but he certainly leaves his mark in a very loving way.’ So how do you find a producer who’s so sensitive to the needs of a musician? It must be harder than finding your soulmate! ‘It’s difficult to find people that you feel 100% comfortable with. I went down to his house at Saddle Back Mountain to do some vocals for a friend and I demoed some songs. Tony really loves that haphazard feel, he’s almost documentarian in his approach and I decided that I wanted to make an album with him.’ Holly went from being a university literature major who occasionally dabbled in collaborative musical projects, to having her very own album and having to play live. ‘I had never played a solo show. I always made someone share the stage with me. When I got signed to Spunk records and I got to open for my favourite artists like Bonnie King Billie, I played it really cool and just said yeah – I didn’t say I’d never played out of Sydney, or taken my guitar on a plane before!’ Holly Throsby plays Byron Bay Community Centre on her ‘Under the Town’ tour on Saturday.

The Echo

The production of the fourth edition of the popular Brunswick Heads Business Card Directory for 2007 is off to an early start. All businesses, including retail, trades and professionals are invited to participate in the town’s ‘buy local’ campaign strategy by including their business card in the directory. It’s also a great opportunity for home businesses to let people know the services they offer. This production is different from other similar directories around because it sets out to include all businesses in the town by keeping the business card entry fee at a nominal and affordable $35

per business, made possible because of volunteer organisational input. Opportunities are also available for inclusion of other Brunswick Valley businesses that are not in direct competition with those in Brunswick Heads, at a cost of $50. With a print run of 4,500 in a handy DL size, the directory will be distributed to every household in Brunswick Heads, Ocean Shores and Billinudgel. The directories will also be distributed to every holiday accommodation provider and tourist operator in town. Contact Kim Rosen on 0412 316 299 by Friday.

Sports Roundup with Alex McAuley Criterium season kicks off in Byron Bay Local cyclist Chris Pratt returned home to Suffolk Park from the Cycling NSW Northern Division Championships held in Coffs Harbour at the end of last month with a gold medal from the road race and silver from the criterium. It was a tough weekend of racing, the criterium was hard from the start with buffeting headwinds increasing the difficulty. The road race saw the Freeriders team having to chase down a determined Grafton squad to get a fast charging Chris across the line for gold.

It was a great result for Chris and a good precursor to the Byron Bay Freeriders third criterium season which begins this Sunday September 10. Riders will compete for prize money and points toward the major prizes which will be presented at the end of the series. The races take place on Sunday mornings in the Byron Bay Arts and Industrial Estate, behind the BP service station. Registration is at the Free to Ride bicycle shop, Shop 1, 102-104 Centennial Drive at 6.30am and

racing starts at 7.00am. All cyclists are invited, especially visitors to the region. Remember to bring your race licence and money; day licences are available. The series dates for 2006/2007 are September 10, October 8, November 12, December 10, January 14 and 28, February 11 and 25, March 11 and 25, and April 8 and 22. There is a club meeting on Wednesday September 6 at the Hotel Great Northern and all club members are encouraged to attend.

Fish return to new beach gutters For the past few weeks the fishing from beaches has been very quiet with reports scarce. Most dedicated anglers have stated that apart from the occasional quality bream, dart have been about the only activity around. Last weekend however, saw some changes in beach shapes, with some nice gutters being formed along Seven Mile Beach and South Ballina Beach which should produce some good catches. Reports of whiting have come from the sandflats in North Creek and from Tal-

low Beach, with best results using worms or pippies. At the moment pippies are hard to find as they are down in the sand about a foot, but persevere and you will be pleased with the results. A bait thrown into Shaws Bay can also turn up some good whiting, but remember that there is a restriction of only one line per angler there. The leatherjackets offshore appear to have thinned out a bit, with baits able to get to the bottom and some nice small snapper coming from

down south at Reardons and the four mile reef off Lennox. Further north off Brunswick there were good teraglin last weekend, with a story about a hookup on a black marlin – very early in the season if it was factual! There have been some early season mudcrabs starting to move about in the creeks following the heavy rains of last week. Whether the fresh water has flushed them out is up for question, but let’s hope they turn up in better numbers than last year.

New season imminent for Brunswick nippers

A determined Bangalow side put on a first class grand final performance in a convincing defeat of Evans River 17-5 in front of around 1200 spectators at Bangalow. It was country rugby at its best, with two preliminary games – for the bowl and plate – preparing the large crowd for what was to be a tough game. From the outset Bangalow were strong in the backs. Kerry Jennings and Ben Cummings gave great service to Steve Jennings and Matt Bleakley, who soon broke through strongly to score the opening try. Shortly after there was another breakthrough that was well fin-

ished by fullback Nick Hornery. Both tries were converted by Kerry Jennings, who then kicked a difficult long range penalty and it was 17-0, a good lead at half time. Premiership coach Simon Balcon’s half time talk paid off as the team delivered a well controlled, error free second half. Consistent lineout wins to Brendan O’Meara and Jock Craigie, well supported by Neil Moran and Simon Leighton made sure that Bangalow stayed on track to win. To their credit, Evans River never gave in and came back in the second half to score a try, but it was far too late.

All the bench players got a run, and the large crowd cheered their team on to victory, winning back to back premierships. Ben Cummings received a trophy for highest points scorer in the competition. The Bangalow Rugby Club 2006 statistics are excellent, having won 17, lost 1 (semi-final 7-6 ); points for 397, against 84. Congratulations should go to all players, coaches, managers and other workers and supporters who have made this a fantastic year. Presentation will be held on September 23 at the Bangalow Hotel commencing at 7 pm with entertainment and band.

Moonshiners enjoy their day in the sun

Mullumbimby Ocean Shores rugby union club is on the verge of their biggest day every when the Moonshiners take on Lismore at Oakes Oval in the grand final next Saturday, kicking off at 2pm. The Moonshiners won the final against Ballina by 20-14 last Saturday with a last minute converted try. Forwards Adam Watson, Peter Anderson and Russell McLeod dominated the tight

play while Damien Browning won more than half the line out balls with Robbie Blair and Lee Funnell adding thrust at the back of the line outs. Kim kent, with the late addition of Matthey Perry, kept the scrum rock solid. Mark Hartley, with sweepers Cheyne Hampson and Scott Potts, were the last line of defence after Luke Hampson and Terry Wrist control-

led the mid field. Sati Siamon and Mitchell Lambert called the shots as they have all season. Jay Sunshine was the only player required from a full, quality bench. The Moonshiners supporters bus will leave the Billinudgel Hotel next Saturday at 11am. Remember presentation day is September 16 at 12 noon; please return all perpetual trophies to Darryl Quigley.

Byron rugby displays renewed vigour Matt Alexander Byron Bay Rugby Union won last weekend. A simple statement, yes, but one with such profound consequences for our club. We now have the first piece of major silverware our proud club has won in over a decade with our 12-0 nil win over Kyogle in the Village Competition Bowl final. Though there may be other clubs who have won more games this year and other clubs who have won greater awards, we won something on Saturday that is more precious still. It was

the fulfilment of the renewed spirit and vigour of our old club; a testament to Byron Rugby’s new strength in not only the belief that each player has in his mates but in the belief the entire Byron community now feels for its own club. We have endless thanks and praise for each and every supporter who screamed themselves hoarse and made this year a possibility; for each of our sponsors’ selfless contributions to our club; and to the tireless work of our volunteers. Our victory in which each player gave his

all has given us a new belief in our future and showed the character of the club. In the words of our coach Warren Fisher, ‘As long as I am involved with this club we will always play rugby hard, with passion and always in the spirit of the game. We will honour our opponents’ strength and courage and always enjoy a drink with them afterwards.’ This year we all had those words at heart and our success on Saturday against a strong and always valiant Kyogle side showed that for all to see.

Sports Roundup with Alex McAuley Rams victorious in nail biting finish On Saturday the Hotel Great Northern Rams played host to Goonellabah, their opponents in last year’s grand final. The premier reserves started a little flat and Goonellabah took advantage of some loose marking at the far post to scramble home a goal for an early lead. This seemed to spur the Rams on and they started to exert pressure on the Goonellabah team. With captain Mark Shepherd leading from the front, eventually a trough ball found Satis in the box and he calmly rounded the keeper for the equaliser. The Rams continued to apply pressure to the Goonellabah defence in the second half resulting in John Bradbury finding space on the right, crossing to an

unmarked Patrick L’Orange who calmly scored his fourth goal in a week and the winner for the Rams. This highly talented team has finished second and should have a home semi final next week. In premier division the Rams once again started promisingly with Keith Ryan pouncing on a loose ball in the box to open the scoring. The Rams’ composure on the ball and slick passing had the crowd calling for more, but just before the break Goonellabah scored a spectacular goal to make the half time score 1-1. The game see sawed in the second half with both sides having their chances; captain Shaun Packham had his 30 metre shot saved spectacularly by the Goonellabah keeper

before Kai Connell made a wonderful reflex save to deny Goonellabah the lead. Finally Jonathon Pierce scrambled the ball over the line to make the score 2-1 in the Rams favour, but before the crowd finished celebrating Goonellabah scored again to put things back on an even keel. The game looked headed for a draw before Bruce Morhaus scored directly from a free kick which gave the Goonellabah goalkeeper no chance. The Rams weren’t finished yet, however, and to the delight of the crowd Jonathon Pierce took the final score to 4-2 when he finished off a wonderful length of the field raid. Premiers have next week off before a home game the following week.

Gutsy performance from Brunswick juniors

Lismore was far too strong for a determined Brunswick outfit in the U14 AFL semi finals held over the weekend. Despite being completely outplayed, Brunswick put in a determined effort and never quit, however the Lismore boys were far too big and utilised a height advantage to dominate a one sided affair. All players worked hard as a team contributing to the end result on each side, so no one player on either side could be singled out as player of the match.

RUGBY LEAGUE Mullumbimby Juniors Ocean Shores Bakery U/11s finished the season with a 20 to 6 win against the Colts. Fittingly the team saved one of the best trys of the season till this game, with the ball passing through at least 10 sets of hands before Murphy crashed over to score. The team finished fifth on the table and next year should be a real force to be reckoned with. aussiegateways.com U/13s easily accounted for Seagulls 76 to 6 to finish the regular season second on the table. A very clinical display with the boys doing everything right in a good warm up for the semis. So far this team has exceeded all expectations having never before made it through to the semi finals. Mullumbimby New Brighton Store U/16s won convincingly 44 to 14 against Tweed Coast Raiders. Stung into action after trailing 14 to 4 at half time, the team scored 7 second half tries, bamboozling Raiders with speed and skill. Congratulations to the U/13s, U/14s and U/16s who have all made the semi finals. SOCCER Brunswick Heads Juniors 2/9 Brunswick Heads Bullsharks 1 Shores United Whalers 1 Ferocious defence against superior numbers saw the Bullsharks concede only one goal in the first half. The tide turned in the second with Connor, Hamish, Jake and Jaden mounting relentless attacks and snapping up an equaliser. Tenacious keeping by Ciara, ably supported by Otis and Willow, continued to keep the hungry Whalers’ forwards at bay and deny them a win. A great team effort. Mullumbimby Juniors 9 Seahorses v Byron Bay Lions. A tough encounter where the Seahorses struggled in the wet conditions. Byron jumped to an early lead but the Seahorses slowly caught up. Final score 3 to 2. Goals from Jasper, Jay and Rowan. Player of the match went to Isaac for his beautiful passing and his goal keeping.

Backlash While Byron councillors were busy last week discussing the dilapidated state of buildings under their care, our reporter was busy manoeuvring a plastic waste paper bin into position to catch the water dripping from the chambers ceiling almost above the press table. It was a more riveting activity than listening to councillors flounder around in debate; the water moved straight to the point, driven urgently by the gravity of the situation. ■■■■Good news for some local sporting groups that Council is proceeding with a traffic study for its Ewingsdale Road site, to be undertaken by Roadnet Pty Ltd. A senior Roadnet traffic engineer gets costed out at $130 an hour, and his/her accommodation costs $140 a night. Beats slinging eggs in a diner. ■■■■Local government minister Kerry Hickey has lamented the rising cost of fuel for local councils, with a survey showing an average increase of 21% on the fuel bill from 2005 to 2006. We asked Byron Council how it was faring and learnt that fuel cost $553,376.30 in the financial year 04/05 and $673,957.46 in 05/06, which is a 21.8% rise. ■■■■Got to know when to hold ‘em, know when to fold ‘em: if you fancy yourself as a card sharp, Mullumbimby Golf Club will hold their first Texas No-Limit Holdem Poker Tournament in conjunction with the National Poker League (NPL) this Friday September 8 at the club. Registration starts 6pm, tournament at 7pm. Season runs for eight weeks and the top five players at the end of the season will qualify for the NSW state final in Sydney, where the winner will receive
