Preschools rage against ‘dismal’ state funding Story & photo Lou Beaumont Last week, NSW preschools and their families held another statewide rally aimed squarely at NSW Premier Morris Iemma. The rallies were organised by Children’s Choice, the lobby group for NSW preschoolers. Children’s Choice, a grassroots organisation established by preschool staff, parents and other preschool stakeholder groups from across NSW, presently have over 350 preschools under the Children’s Choice ‘banner’. In the past 12 months they have successfully lobbied for additional money for preschools, however, they believe there is still a long way to go. Children’s Choice spokesperson and mother of five Kerry Grigg said, ‘Mr Iemma’s attempts to position himself as the concerned family man and father of four in the leadup to the election are abhorrent given his government’s dismal record on preschool funding.

The statewide rallies will highlight the exorbitant fees and low participation rates that are proving to be a bugbear for the state Labor government and more particularly Morris Iemma who has staked his campaign on his credentials as a family man in touch with the concerns of NSW families.’ Nikki Kempnich, parent and spokesperson from Byron Bay Preschool, said, ‘We are all busy working families – we feel very angry that we have been forced to protest yet again to get the message across to the Premier and his government.’ Ms Kempnich said at the rally in Byron Bay on Friday, ‘We are outraged at what our state Labor government is doing to our preschools. Preschool is not childcare, it is an education system. We need more funding in order to be able to continue to hire qualified staff without further increases in fees.’ Children’s Choice has sent

tens of thousands of letters, faxes and emails to the Premier and relevant Ministers, protesting around the state in April 2006 and lobbying local members and candidates.The lobby group, made up of preschool parents and educators, is accusing the Premier of mishandling the preschool issue from the beginning. Kerry Grigg told The Echo, ‘NSW families pay the highest preschool fees in the country and as a result, NSW has the lowest preschool participation rate of any Australian state or territory. According to the Productivity Commission, NSW children have the lowest percentage of participation in preschool services at around 60% while other states’ participation rates are on average 96%. ‘In most other states and territories preschool is free or involves a relatively small voluntary contribution, so it’s easy to see why there is such

Two famous musos from opposite ends of the spectrum take time to embrace the new Buttery building project with each other in the grounds of The Riverview Guesthouse, Bangalow. Rick Grossman of Divinyls, Hoodoo Gurus and Ghostwriters fame gets a good dose of the David Helfgott charm and trademark hug as they discuss music industry efforts to help build the new Buttery, continued on page 4 an alcohol and drug rehabilitation centre. Rick, an ex resident of The Buttery some 20 years ago and in recovery for that amount of time, is coordinating members of the music industry to get behind fundraising efforts for the project.

David Helfgott, much loved patron of The Buttery, with his wife Gillian dropped in to give a morning recital to Buttery staff and residents and to update on fundraising efforts. Rick flew in from Sydney to pre-record an onscreen presentation for the Buttery’s fundraising launch in Sydney on March 15, as Rick flies to the US with the Gurus for a two week tour over that period. David Helfgott will give a recital at The Buttery Sydney event and Norman Swann from The Health Report will interview Professor Shane Darke, an expert in matters of drug and alcohol issues. The Help Build a Better Buttery fundraising coordi-

nator Dee Tipping said, ‘It was quite overwhelming to have such wonderful supporters of The Buttery all arriving at the same time but it provided an ideal opportunity for David, Gillian, Rick and myself to discuss some exciting news around a fundraising CD by top Australian artists.

$100,000 for Bruns skate park

Frustrated teachers, parents and the children of Byron Shire’s preschools rallied for a ‘Day of Rage’, part of a statewide action highlighting the lack of funding for community based preschools.

Michael McDonald Mayor Jan Barham used her casting vote last Thursday to commit Byron Shire Council to putting $100,000 towards the development of a skate park at the Stan Thompson sporting complex at Brunswick Heads. Cr Diane Woods put up the notice of motion to get the project started.

Greens councillors Tom Tabart, John Lazarus and Richard Staples voted against the proposals with Crs Westheimer and Mangleson, while the mayor found herself aligned with Crs Woods, Tucker, Tardif and Kestle. A Brunswick Heads resident, Cr Tabart was not opposed to a skate park for the town

but felt it was the wrong location, saying it was taken out of town because of objections by business interests. In an amendment, which was defeated 6-4, Cr Westheimer sought to have a report brought to Council on the upgrading of sporting facilities in the Shire’s north, continued on page 2

Dispute emerges over Tallow Creek sludge Hans Lovejoy Suffolk Park residents and Byron at Byron management are at odds over who is responsible for the buildup of weeds and low water level in Tallow creek. Residents say the resort’s bridge and the wire fence recently installed underneath have choked the flow of Tallow Creek, while the resort’s manager John ParchĂŠ claims that the low water level is due to the natural cycle of the creek. ‘The weed problem existed well before the wire fence and bridge were in place,’ he told The Echo. Tallow Creek runs through The Byron at Byron’s property, and in the past has been used by residents to access Tallow Lake further upstream by canoe. It has since been closed as it is private property. Neighbour Tarek Nabi is concerned for the life of the creek. ‘It’s very clear what is happening here. Nothing can move past the fence and the creek is now full of weeds.’ Mr Nabi claims the creek is dying slowly and calls on The Byron at Byron management to act to save the waterway. ‘If the creek dies, the trees die and the banks will fall apart and we will lose the biodiversity of the area. What’s this saying to

his [owner Gerry Harvey’s] guests – that we are more important than our ecology?’ Another resident Geoff Wright remembers paddling upstream to the lake before it was blocked. ‘There is no drought in the Northern Rivers – weeds have been dumped next to the bridge and it’s stopping the natural flow.’ However environmental consultant Peter Parker claims the weeds are a common problem. ‘Salvinia is one of Australia’s worst water weeds, and occurs in Tallow Creek,’ Mr Parker told The Echo. He points to an upstream location where it occurs in a pond opposite the BP service

station at Suffolk Park. ‘It has spread throughout the length of Tallow Creek and unless controlled will potentially result in deoxygenation of the water and fish kills. ‘North Coast Weeds have been spraying Salvinia in recent years with mixed results. However, a biological control agent has been introduced which shows considerable promise. Tallow Creek’s water level is related to the sand banks at the mouth of the lake which unblock and drain the creek after heavy rain, according to Mr Parker. ‘Many of NSW coastal lagoons operate by intermittent opening,’ he said. ‘This commonly occurs when rainwater buildup behind the

frontal dune is sufficient to cause the estuary to break out. ‘In some cases – for example Belongil Creek – Byron Shire Council has adopted a management regime whereby the estuary is mechanically opened. This has limited the amount of water building up in the catchment and consequently has reduced fish kills when the estuary breaks out.’ Tallow Creek is known to drain out naturally a few times each year. Council’s planning director Ray Darney told The Echo, ‘We have contacted The NSW Fisheries Department and will be talking with Byron at Byron to come up with a solution.’

himself favouring South Golden Beach as a site for a skate park. Cr Woods pointed out that an earlier resolution of Council had given support to the Thompson complex as the ‘preferred community option’. ‘This has been going on for eight years now,’ Cr Woods said. ‘There was full consultation with the community. ‘Torakina was knocked on the head [as a possible site]. We’re asking for $100,000 for seed funding; we cannot go out and source more

funding until we get that.’ Cr Barham said the skate park would be close to Bayside Brunswick, where ‘an application is in to the state government for a further 200 dwellings. It has credibility in that it is closer to an urban population and is in public view.’ In a speech which seemed at first in favour of the Thompson site, Cr Mangleson said the Brunswick Valley Sports Association (BVSA) would not accept a skate park there. Cr Woods revealed that a BVSA representative was in favour of the

proposal in the morning and ‘by the evening had changed his mind’. Both Crs Woods and Tucker indicated they would speak to the BVSA, Cr Tucker saying ‘this has become a turf war. I will speak to these people because they have been told the wrong information. A job has been done on Brunswick Heads.’ Most of the councillors in favour of proceeding at Brunswick Heads agreed that the design and size of the skate park is not set in concrete.

Narelle’s daycare role honoured Story & photo Lou Beaumont Narelle Anderton was recently recognised for 15 years working for the Ballina Byron Family Day Care Scheme, and for 15 years as a FDC Committee Member. Narelle was presented with a weekend away on the Gold Coast for her longterm commitment to the program, and after a decade and a half of caring for children in her home, in addition to raising three children of her own, no doubt a weekend break is just what the doctor ordered. Family Day Care has been operating in the local area for the past 21 years. The program provides quality child care for children up to 12 years of age in the homes of Family Day Carers. Narelle was inspired to become a carer after seeing an ad for the FDC Scheme. With her youngest child of three years still at home, Narelle immediately recognised an opportunity to simultaneously earn an income, rejoining the workforce for the first time since moving to the Shire, and to find company for her toddler. Narelle said, ‘At the time my mother thought I’d last just six months, but to this day it is something I really enjoy and I feel I have something to give to the children. ‘The children you care for become your extended family. Your own children know the day care kids and vice versa. They are each others’ stand-in brothers and sisters somewhat. The social aspect of the day care scheme is very beneficial for kids. In addition to establishing a routine for children, in which they thrive, having a group of

kids in a home environment is really wonderful for children who have no brothers and sisters of their own.’ Sue Lightfoot, Manager of the FDC Coordination Team, told The Echo, ‘Narelle is one of our longest serving carers. She has all the qualities we look for in a carer, particularly that ability and desire to assist in a child’s upbringing, working with the child’s parents to develop the individual. Our carers really do become fairly significant in the lives of the children. ‘While there are plenty of day care options out there for parents, the FDC Scheme combines the benefits of a home environment with the obvious advantage of having your child in a smaller care group, allowing for greater time spent with each child and hence better relationships between carers and children.’ The FDC Coordination Team gives families information about the scheme, helps

parents to choose a suitable carer, recruits and monitors carers and provides them with training, support and resources. They ensure that appropriate child care standards and practices are maintained and improved and administer Child Care Benefit and other government subsidies. The national Family Day Care Quality Assurance system ensures that all Family Day Care services meet quality standards beyond

the minimum requirements. The Ballina Byron FDC Scheme is always looking for people who are committed to providing children with a secure, nurturing and safe home environment. If you are interested in finding a carer for your child/ ren, or would like to know more about becoming a carer, contact Sue Lightfoot on 6686 7799 or email fdcballinabyron@bigpond. com.

Squad need about $60,000 a year to maintain their service. They get no government funding and rely on donations and volunteers. It makes you wonder about the thief’s karma now... it would have to be one of the worst kinds to mess with... when you consider how many people the squad have helped and what this person has taken away from the service by stealing the box. ‘The box is now chained to the counter. It is a shame we live in a place where we have to do that now, but it appears that that is what is necessary these days. Uncle Tom’s recently had their fundraising box stolen too.’ Lola Mills, secretary for the Rescue Squad, was obviously disappointed with the news. Ms Mills said, ‘We were due to pick up the box as it was full. Karen is always calling asking us to come and get it, they are a fantastic help to our service. ‘This isn’t the first time a box has been stolen, it’s a great pity as it is one significant way members of the general community can assist us in keeping the service alive. Financially we depend on fundraising, donations from individuals and companies, and, of course, the donation boxes.’

Kids commit to the cleanup

On the Clean Up Australia Day weekend the 1st Mullumbimby Scouts, pictured above, scoured the West Brunswick River for rubbish. Using canoes they retrieved 30 large bags of garbage totalling 450kgs as well as other rubbish. ‘We filled a mini-skip kindly provided by the Cleanup Australia liaison person (Russell) at the Byron Shire Council,’ say the scouts. ‘The Mullumbimby scouts have done this for eight years in a row with a similar result. ‘This year we camped for the weekend on private land on the banks of the Brunswick River in Mullumbimby, from where we launched the canoes each morning. It felt really good to remove a lot

of the floating rubbish and entangled bank rubbish from the stretch of the river between the bridge in town and the showgrounds. ‘This ugly stuff floats back and forth on the tides and does not go away by itself. Even when it clears in flood it ends up on the beaches around Brunswick Heads. ‘The team enjoyed the experience mixing it up with breaks for games and fishing. We had to take care because among the rubbish were syringes and even bongs. ‘We want to thank the two adults who spent the weekend making our work safe and fun, Scout Leaders Marc Heyning and Benjamin Phillips.’ And last Friday Upper Coopers Creek Public

School organised a cleanup of the Torakina Park area at Brunswick Heads. They found a great deal of rubbish associated with people using the park area for parties, such as glass bottles, aluminium cans and balloons. They also found a complete car wheel which was quickly recycled by someone after it was placed in the Council rubbish skip.

Senior surfer Phyllis rips it up Story & photo Lou Beaumont In 1964, at 27 years of age, Phyllis O’Donnell became the first women’s surfing world champion. In 2007, Phyllis is a vital 69 year old woman who still surfs regularly and swims three kilometres every day, spending five hours a day at the pool. With NSW Seniors Week coming up (March 11-18) Phyllis is a wonderful example of an active life participant who is ageing naturally and healthily. The theme for NSW Seniors Week 2007 is ‘Live Life’ and with over 700 events across the State, organisers are hoping to encourage older people to live healthy, active lives. And while Phyllis is a fantastic example of an active senior, she is by her own admission, ‘a bit of a freak’. You don’t need to spend five hours a day at your local pool to live life fully. It is clear that Phyllis’ personal ‘Live Life’ philosophy comes from more than a choice to be physically active. It is her attitude that really sets her apart. With gusto and cheekiness befitting a teenager, she is a huge encouragement to people around her who are apprehensive about getting out and about more. A 51 year old friend of hers wanted to learn how to surf but felt she was too old to start; with a little nudge from Phyllis her friend has never looked back. It is this natural ability to spur on her peers that makes Phyllis such a fitting ambassador for seniors activities. As one of women’s surfing pioneers, members of modern day surf society regularly seek out Phyllis to attend

tournaments, frequently asking her to present female surf champs with their trophies. A dedicated follower of the sport, Phyllis speaks with great pride about Australia’s surfing talent, particularly our female champions. A complete natural on a long board, Phyllis had only been surfing for four years when she took the World Champion title in 1964. She came from nowhere to beat the competition favourite, American Linda Benson. For those who remember the television series Gidget, Linda Benson was the series stunt surfer. Phyllis said, ‘She was a wild one, Linda, and a goofy foot. I think I took the title because of my spinners, [360

far greater there, very fierce,’ said Phyllis. Hailing from Drummoyne, a Sydney suburb that lies nowhere near the surf, Phyllis has travelled the world with her favourite sport.

Phyllis adds, ‘Kirra was one of my favourites in the 60s and 70s, when Kirra was Kirra, before the sand built up there.

Local News

Mary Moody in full flight Mandy Nolan Mary Moody ran away from home. She was 50 at the time. She also had an affair. This prolific gardening author and former presenter of Gardening Australia was greeted with a headline that seems more suited to the era of Lady Chatterley than now: ‘Gardener commits adultery.’ ‘I couldn’t believe it really, I suppose it was because of my age,’ said Mary. ‘I’m a grandmother! ‘If I had been 30 and written a book about going to France and having an affair, I don’t think it would have created as much interest. When I wrote the books Running away from Home at Fifty and Last Tango in Toulouse, I didn’t expect such a reaction.’ The experience of being a novelist brought Mary face to face with one of a writer’s greatest dilemnas. Do you write the book that protects you honour, or do you take the dangerous road and and tell the difficult revealing and ultimately life-changing story? Upon returning to her Australian home Mary had intended to keep her rendevouz in southwest France a secret. That didn’t happen. ‘I was halfway through the second book, which was more adventures in France, and my marriage was falling apart. I spoke to my publisher and said there can’t be a book, my book is pearshaped! ‘I talked it through with my husband but he wanted a sanitised version. I wrote that and then I wrote another copy, the truth for me. I read both versions and realised it would have been a deeply unsatisfying read for some-

one to have the first draft. The character had undergone this huge change and you don’t know why.’ Mary made the artistic decision to go with the dangerous story. Not a decision favoured by her husband, but one he supported. ‘David said, “I am never going to like the book but I will support it� – it was a measure of a man!’ Mary faced criticism both within her family and in the broader public. In the media, she became a woman judged. A difficult personal route, but a wonderful marketing strategy for a second novel! ‘It was a difficult thing for my kids, I remember when I wrote that book, and David said, “You know our grandchildren will read it one day� –by the time they read it I’ll probably be dead anyway!’ Mary’s lifelong passion has been with her garden. During the emotional turmoil, it was something she avoided. But when the dust settled it became a place of solace. ‘I went right off it in the

midst of the affair and the marital turbulence. It was quite wonderful to get out to the garden again. It’s one of the workshops I am doing – about that connection with the earth when your hands are in the soil. I’ve had a bit a rough year – because of the drought – I almost lost our garden, our spring almost ran dry. I just had to stand back and watch it. I didn’t know if it would survive.’ It was a remarkable living metaphor for Mary’s longterm relationship, which also weathered significant unfavourable conditions. Her garden and her marriage have both survived, and both become a little more resilient for it. Mary Moody is a woman who enjoys taking risks. Her latest project is Catch Up, a five day live-to-air news and current affair program for women. She is one of the cohosts and represents women in their 50s alongside three other demographic representatives, including Libbi Gore.

‘It’s a huge challenge. I am on a huge learning curve. It’s extraordinary and nervewracking going live to air. If you say the wrong thing there’s nothing you can do about it. The girls are fantastic, even though we don’t agree on everything.’ Ms Moody is an inspiration to women who feel that opportunity has passed them by: she is a reminder to take risks, to choose the path less travelled. On Friday night Mary is one of the panelists at the Byron Bay Community Centre alongside Zenith Virago and Mahboba Rawi. ‘In The art of Living Dangerously I will be talking about women of my age who feel their lives have passed by and feel it’s more of the same. I would like to inspire women into realising that there are so many possibilities, that they should embrace life and have a sense of urgency to keep doing things.’ Mary has the door closed in the dressing room cubicle of Catch Up. She’s just finished filming. I can hear women chatting all around. We only have ten minutes before she has to scoot to her next press engagement. Time’s up. Like the target audience for the program that she now fronts on a daily basis, Mary is a busy woman with a jam-packed schedule. Mary Moody also appears on Saturday at Mantra at Salt Beach, Kingscliff where she presents a session entitled Stand Up for Your Life, which encourages women to be who they are. For bookings for Mary’s events phone 1300 660 367 or visit the website www. wholewoman.com.au, where you can find out more about the Whole Woman Festival.

Comment

When supping with the devil‌ Vol 21 #38

March 6, 2007

Council reviews itself It is unusual that Byron Shire Council is to undertake an internal review of its Corporate and Community Services Division. It follows on from concerns among Councillors that some of Council’s highly paid staffers are not innovative in bringing solutions and options to the fore when faced with challenges; there is also still a sense that the Council administration tends to have a bunker mentality. Coincidentally or not, it is frustration with the Corporate and Community Services Division which The Echo most hears about from individuals and community organisations. The biggest beef is about delays in getting things done. Councillors went so far last week as to consider commissioning an external review of the division. One of the reasons for deciding against an external review is that they would have to wait till the new financial year to fund it, costs ranging from around $10,000 to $40,000. According to Mayor Jan Barham, ‘Last year Councillors raised concerns regarding the workload and operation of the Corporate and Community Services Division and sought a report on the possibility of an external review. At a subsequent workshop with the GM [Pamela Westing], Councillors raised suggestions to improve the performance of the CCS. The GM assessed these suggestions and advised on some changes, which Council has now adopted. These changes will not only improve the operation of the CCS but the whole organisation with a more integrated and efficient management style. Council can now move ahead with the preparation of the Management Plan and Budget with the reorganisation model and additional resources to improve services.’ In a report to Council, general manager Pamela Westing sees several key issues for the division, among them direct responsibility for numerous projects falling on the director Elisabeth Brown; vacancies within the division; minimal staff expertise in areas of major project management; and multiple demands on the division from the community and within Council. As the review is to be internal, it will fall on Ms Westing to see it is done thoroughly. Will she have the necessary ‘distance’ to make the hard decisions? Ms Westing has already been considering the way forward in a report on Council’s organisational resources (or lack thereof) for 2007-2010. In it she advises Councillors: ‘The difficulty of attracting and retaining skilled staff is having and will have an increasing impact in future in many areas of Council’s operations, especially those requiring planning, building and engineering expertise.’ Ms Westing’s six-point plan for restructuring the Corporate and Community Services Division, if carried out, is likely to see some of that project burden lifted from Ms Brown’s shoulders. Among the changes, a property maintenance coordinator will be looking after all Council buildings, and responsibility for construction projects will be transferred to Asset Management Services. An internal review is small potatoes, however, compared to the larger problems which face local government in NSW. Fortunately the councils and the Department of Local Government are attempting to find a way forward together, rather than butting heads.

o those of us fortunate enough never to have met the disgraced Western Australian politician turned lobbyist Brian Burke, the real mystery is how he manages to exert any political influence at all, let alone set himself up as a sort of premier in exile.You would think even those unaware of his criminal record would be warned off by his appearance.The slightly too tight dark suit with the open-necked white shirt, panama hat and dark glasses simply scream spiv, shonk, sleazebag. If you saw him walking down the footpath towards you, you would hastily cross the street, keeping both hands on your wallet as you did so. If you had him in your home or office once, you would make sure it didn’t happen twice and you would count the teaspoons after he had left. Yet his friends (and he still has plenty, something which should alarm federal politicians on both sides) insist that this unsavoury figure is a bundle of charm, a charismatic con man in the style of Peter Foster. And what is indisputable that he, in partnership with the equally unlovely Julian Grill, gets results. His list of clients is an impressive one and extends well beyond the usually run of dubious developers and Labor Party cronies. On his home turf he is certainly loathed and feared, but he is also accorded a perverse admiration: he is man of respect, in every sense of the term. As the current investigation into his activities has revealed, he demands to be taken seriously. But having said that, it must be said that he is not, as John Howard and his attack dogs have sought to portray him, Satan himself, the lord of all evil whose very presence corrupts everything

it touches. It is a measure of the government’s failure to lay a substantive glove on Kevin Rudd in the last three months that Burke has been given such exalted status. So Rudd, two years ago when his leadership aspirations were still in the formative stage, thrice ran into the ex-con on the basis that he was a friend of a friend. Well, one might legitimately ask, so what? It was perhaps a little indiscreet, given that there was at that stage a ban on state government ministers meeting Burke, but no one has seriously suggested that any favours were sought or

that Burke never did anything without wanting something in return, implying that Rudd was now somehow in Burke’s debt. Alexander Downer said baldly that Rudd was lying about it all. Howard, assuming his role as firm but fair Elder Statesman, mused that Rudd had huge amounts of explaining to do but that whatever he said wouldn’t make any difference to the fact that he was now hopelessly compromised. This was hyperbole on a grand scale, but that was the point: it put Rudd in the position of having to give a detailed reply to charges that

But Burke was in the news, and the connection with Rudd could be made, so the heavies went in with all guns blazing. by Mungo MacCallum given. The results speak for themselves: if Burke was supposed to tout for caucus votes for Rudd in the leadership spill he did an unusually ineffective job, because Rudd ended up with just two out of the nine Western Australian votes on offer. Politicians meet scores of people every week, and it’s a safe bet that among them are many more dangerous than Burke. But Burke was in the news, and the connection with Rudd could be made, so the heavies went in with all guns blazing. Tony Abbott’s line, pinched from one of Crikey’s more excitable commentators, was that Rudd had supped with the devil – not once, but three times. Peter Costello said that everything and everybody who associated with Burke was morally and politically corrupted and

were so wide-ranging, so general as to be effectively unanswerable. And Rudd bit; he spent three days last week floundering, with the dancing bears in the Murdoch press chortling that the honeymoon was finally over, Rudd was back in the pack as just another politician whose judgement and honesty were both under question and who was clearly too naïve and inexperienced for the job. It was all good clean healthy fun until Burke’s office contacted The Australian to say that the arch-demon had also met one of Howard’s less horrible ministers, Ian Campbell, and what about that then? Campbell, sprung, rang Howard and Howard promptly accepted his resignation whether it was offered or not. As Campbell quite openly pointed out, he hadn’t

actually done anything wrong, but the important thing was to win the next election. If his presence was some kind of impediment to Howard and the gang throwing dirt at Rudd, he was quite willing to get out of the way, the unspoken rider being that it would only be for a little while, the political and moral corruption would undoubtedly dissipate straight after polling day. Campbell’s noble gesture allowed Howard to insist that Rudd should stand down; it was now a matter not just of judgement and honesty, but of that mysterious American concept, character. Rudd replied by challenging Howard to call an election based on honesty and see where that got him. But he had clearly been bruised by the week; he had overreacted and over– explained, suggesting that he might be vulnerable under sustained pressure. Given that the attacks from now on will become more intense, more personal and probably a whole lot dirtier, he will need to watch himself. But there must be some satisfaction in knowing that he has Howard so worried that the Prime Minister is prepared to sacrifice a cabinet minister without hesitation or compunction simply to get a clear shot at him. And it may not be over yet. Even if Campbell proves to be the only minister to have supped with the devil, what about Burke’s clients? Are there Liberal Party donors among them, and if so will Howard return their morally and politically corrupt money? And how does Western Australia’s business community feel about being pilloried by association, reduced by implication to a bunch of orcs capering to the tune of Burke’s Sauron? The full bill for Rudd’s humiliation has not yet been presented.

Congratulations Congratulations to the Arakwal Aunties Linda Vidler and Dulcie Nicholls and members of the Arakwal Clan on the recent finalisation of the first stage of their Native Title claim. Far from being just ‘handed back’ the process (as I have witnessed it) under the current legislation of proving ongoing connection to country has been onerous. Fourteen years of meetings, hearings and submissions require courage, guts and determination. Onya the Aunties, both those with us and those we have lost. Jill Keogh

Still waiting Congratulations must be extended to Bernard Grinberg for his excellent letter published February 22. His words certainly reflect the feelings of many landholders living along route A/B in T2E. I too wonder why the Greens’ policy has suddenly changed. It was interesting to read that CAPS, with the assistance of Ian Cohen, was able to meet with the roads minister. A group of farmers whose land is marked for resumption along the proposed route did try to organise a similar meeting. This request was forwarded through Don Page’s office but the group of farmers never received a reply. Robyn Hornery

Reality check on truth ■Reading the mish-mash of personal religious beliefs in your recent issues, it’s no wonder the world is at war! I would like to ask the questions ‘Why has religion been with mankind for so long?’ and ‘Why is it universal to all human cultures?’ and give a few answers that have occurred to me. a. All major religions are patriarchal and control women. b. Religion explains the universe and our place in it. c. Religion validates hierarchies. d. Religion replaces the ‘awe’ of life with fear. e. Religion validates war and killing. f. Religion is the bureaucracy of the spirit. g. Religion seeks to suppress the self. Spirituality, on the other hand, seeks to know the self and the god within. Spiritual seekers don’t go to war. Spirituality honours all life. Maybe it’s time we left religion behind and sought our Spirit.

(un)knowing’ (Letters, February 20) needs at least one major reality check. ‘Not knowing’ is actually a state that is highly desired by many players, big and small. We should be mindful that it is the deliberate promotion of spin, distortion and falsehoods, on an industrial scale, that is the greatest threat to ‘knowing’. In this respect ABC’s Four Corners is at the frontiers of knowing, once again. In ‘The Denial Machine’ (February 26, 8.30 pm) the politics of truth are very chillingly revealed. This episode describes how the ‘scientific’ debunking of global warming is a major conspiracy based on industry finance, PR company management, ‘rogue’ scientists posing as authorities, political end use in ‘doctored’ policy documents, compliant media outlets‌ and of course gullible publics. This highly organised campaign of North American misinformation is one of the main reasons ‘we’, the voting public, continue to remain relaxed as US and Australian greenhouse emissions skyrocket. Not enough people feel moved by the truth of global warming, and this is partly because big

New Brighton ■The Echo’s recent reflections on ‘the vortex of regenerating the slope of land that runs between the border of First Sun Caravan Park and the beach. I remember it was ‘opened’ with great fanfare by the mayor of the time, Ian Kingston. Within two or three years all the trees had died and the area had returned to the bank of sand and buffalo grass it had been before as there was absolutely no followup consolidation action for the project. I had a friend who was an enthusiastic volunteer bush regenerator. She stopped eventually because she too often saw all the work she had put into projects count for nothing because no

backup strategy was adopted. She had come to the conclusion that governments and others were only interested in these projects in terms of spin and self-congratulatory photo opportunities and thereafter they showed no interest whatsoever. Let’s hope the current project for the beachfront doesn’t turn out to be more of the same. David Gilet

business has paid big money to keep things quiet for as long as possible. Meanwhile the politicians of both our houses still mince words about what to do – who says humans are not closely related to lemmings? As this timely show also revealed, the same tactics (and scientists!) were involved with the tobacco lobby’s work to deny the link between smoking and lung cancer. That is, there is an industry devoted to unknowing, lies, deceptions, and the like, that far transcends the excesses of advertising. All this may not surprise many of The Echo’s readers, or ASIO or the CIA, but it may surprise contributors such as Sanatan Saraswati who worries about the lack of objectivity of scientific method, and others who worry about the insanity of religion. Worry more about the deliberate spin doctoring of big business, governments and churches. Truth is the first casualty of war, politics, the energy industry, most other industry, and of course, of individual self interest. Maybe truth is a commodity whose fortunes are declining?

ning a ‘withdrawal’ of British troops from Iraq, he was making a ‘reduction’. I went shopping, but first I had to go to the bank and make a reduction. Funny that, my account balance is still the same as if I had made a withdrawal‌ Oh well, them’s the breaks. I think, instead of John Howard sending more of our troops over to Iraq (he tells us our troops are there only to train Iraqi troops and police), he should bring all our troops home and the Iraqi soldier/trainees and train them here. After all we trained Indonesians here some years ago and it was recently proposed to train Japanese military personnel here too, so why not the Iraqis? Yep, they would feel really at home. We have plenty of desert in the outback, and lots of radioactive dust blowing around from the uranium mines, and not just the depleted stuff like in Iraq, we’ve got the real unprocessed stuff. We have American bases dotted around the countryside to add to the realism. Some outback country towns would be ideal as training locations. Lousy commu-

nications, few services, people living under the poverty line, miles from understaffed and under-equipped hospitals and schools. The US guards at Abu Ghraib will need to be replaced so the Iraqi trainees could do some work experience at some of our detention centres in preparation for the changeover. Some of the trainees might still be adjusting to life without a dictator. No problemo. A few days observing from the gallery in Parliament House watching John Howard will bring back some old memories. When accused of being ‘poll-driven’ he retaliates by saying how he makes decisions on his own even when 75% of the public object. Can’t get any more dictatorial than that. Peggy Balfour

Kev and ferals I’m a deadset hardcore nonLiberal voter. Today, the day that Cheney flew into Australia, there were some small protests and I heard Kevin Rudd on TV call the protesters ‘violent ferals’ – I saw the police being violent to the ‘violent ferals’, but I didn’t see the ‘violent ferals’ being violent to the

police. Resistance yes, but the Queensland border last violence no. Where’s your week. Amid the beams of cooperative largesse Mr head at, future King Kev? Hannah Grace Iemma stressed how taxis Mulllumbimby would be able to get return fares twixt the borders. No Train free mention of the train tracks Morris Iemma and Peter meeting up to cater for Beattie met calculatedly on future population growth

was reported. The state Labor government I believe has no intention whatsoever of re-opening the Casino to Murwillumbah line and this is reflected in the development of railway land in Mullumbimby. Perhaps TOOT

members and Don Page would be advised to read carefully the content documents and monitor the outstanding documents the developers have to produce, ie an Internal Site Traffic Management and an Infrastructure Concept Plan.

dollars to scientists willing to create papers that find fault in or discredit the report by the IPCC. Just as a reminder: this was the report assembled in a conservative way from studies done by some 2500 scientists from a hundred something countries that came to the indisputable conclusion that unless immediate and radical action is taken climate change will become so severe as to pose a serious threat to the survival of mankind. I expected the papers to be full of outrage against Exxon Mobil for actively trying to block urgently necessary and overdue measures to be taken but there was nothing. Think about this next time you pull over to buy fuel from Mobil. So, regarding climate change, since you’ve watched An Inconvenient Truth, which hopefully you did already,

what have you done personally to help with this issue? This one is a biggie. It will not go away by not looking or pretending that she’ll be right. And it is happening already and has done so for years and everywhere on earth. The biggest threat mankind ever had to face. If ever there has been a reason to become active then this is it. What will you tell your kids when they ask you what you have done about it? On the other hand simultaneously there is an immense spiritual evolution and awakening coinciding with these massive changes, which is great, but even enlightenment is more fun on a planet that humans are actually still able to live on. Though in case of human extinction there wouldn’t really be anybody left to worry about it, would there?

Towards green power on a living planet ■GreenPower is the only way we can immediately and affordably reduce greenhouse pollution. Whatever Aussie Greenpower electricity will be fed into our national grid, effectively diluting the amount of coal fired electricity required. Choosing 100% wind or solar power are the best options. Dailan Pugh (Letters, February 27) mentions one of the worst options which includes Country Energy’s 50% and 10% options which may include burning biomass. Origin Energy is most highly rated for its wind and solar GreenPower by the Australian Conservation Council and World Wildlife Fund. It offers a combination with hydro for $1 or $2/ week. For rented premises, cars and flights take offsets with Climate Friendly. It is great for cost conscious businesses, offering 100% internationally accredited wind

power for half the price of Aussie wind power. Join the grass roots movement, don’t wait for any level of government, switch on to GreenPower now. Climate Friendly tells me that over 300,000 homes and businesses have switched; GreenPower is already becoming a strong political statement. For info based on my participation in NCCAG, email me whistler@byrononline. net or call 6684 7266. David Whistler

Tyagarah ■Switching to 100% Green Power, is the biggest, easiest, and cheapest action any individual, business or organisation with mains electricity can make to reducing their contribution to global warming. Dailan Pugh, in last week’s Echo, was concerned that changing to Green Power was of only notional significance. That is indeed true for some

green options from some electricity companies. The trick is to choose the right company and the right option. There are indeed some ‘pretenders’ out there and one needs to look carefully at what is considered green. Switching to a 100% renewable Green Power, with say Origin Energy, means not one cent of your electricity bill will be supporting the coal power industry. For every kilowatt of power you consume from the grid, a kilowatt of power will be put into the grid at your expense from a 100% renewable source. Locally, the more people that take this simple step, the sooner we will see green power generators locating on the north coast. Sure, we can all put solar panels on our roof, as could Byron Council, however, some of us don’t own the roof, others don’t have the money and others are not

ready to do so for a while yet. Check out greenpower.nsw. gov.au and nccag.org. Signing up for 100% Green Power is the most immediate, significant, single action we can take for the wellbeing of our children’s future. Garry Scott

Mullumbimby ■A few weeks back when the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) published their findings which made headlines in the papers, that day right next to it on page 1 in The Sydney Morning Herald was an article about how Exxon Mobil, while just having announced a profit for last year of over US$50 billion (yes, that’s billion, the biggest profit ever made by a US company and yes, that’s the year that we paid over $1.40 per litre for petrol), was offering payments of tens of thousands of

Letters The Traffic Report summary although paying lip service to the Mallams site (which was moved to the eastern extreme of the corridor) needing to remain able to accommodate the railway authorities’ activities, the five ways roundabout detail, including its proximity to the railway crossing, does not include provision for the reopening of the line scenario.

Splendid plans OK, OK, sorry Tina for being so beastly about your electoral adventures. Very glad to hear (from Richard McLachlan in the Byron News) that it was all due to an unfortunate ‘campaign blunder’. No doubt this will be rectified next time. I did not ‘attack Tina’s integrity’ as David Hall claims in his confused letter.

Her logic, her knowledge, her florid claims and innuendo and her literary style, perhaps... but not integrity. Also I am sure she is the very model of a Devine’s Hill weeder, but environmentalist? – well, everyone seems to be one nowadays. Seems most correspondents aiming pejoratives at my head don’t understand the ‘approval’ situation... There has been no LEP amendment. The festival proponents have been advised to prepare an application. In the meantime they have submitted a DA for a one-off, trial event to test the viability of the project. This trial remains problematic for 07. My views on the subject will be informed by data, not invective, false claims or speculation, and will be made clear in due course.

Suffolk society

Thank you to Isabelle Delmotte for her letter (Echo, February 27) regarding proposals for a major commercial development next to the BP, Suffolk Park. In response to my own letter (Echo, February 22) my ever-informed neighbour Peter Wegner also gave me the postal address for Urban Economics: GPO Box 36, Brisbane QLD 4001 and told me to contact Ashley Perkins, (07) 3229 0954. Peter informs me that this consortium of Brisbanebased developers previously contacted the Suffolk Park Progress Association about their plans and were met with strong opposition. To quote his email to me: ‘The land is currently zoned residential and application would first have to be made to rezone the land to industrial. This requires not only CounCr Tom Tabart cil approval but also public Brunswick Heads exhibition and community

input, unless of course they do a Mallams and submit their application to the state government as a state significant development (within one kilometre of the coastline), in which case the Minister can override Council planning powers.’ As Isabelle pointed out it is indeed a flood-prone designated area and Peter tells me ‘water displacement is prohibited’. I have, myself, already written to Urban Economics to let them know my feelings – as well as alternative business suggestions for their land, edited out of my letter, including: an eco-supermarket with veggie garden, cafe and kids’ playpark (where local and environmental produce is made a priority and locals are encouraged to refill their own containers for household goods); an indooroutdoor play centre for kids from 0-18 years (with a rock-

climbing wall and the like) and/or a solar power station. Any or all of these could be great money-earners and – if built with sensitivity to the environment and careful planning – might even give the owners something that money can’t buy: a sense of the mutual respect that connectedness with the local community can bring... Hell they might even want to come and live here some day! Julia Hall

Intrusive tactics So Philip ‘Death’ Ruddock has sanctioned the banning of Philip Nietsche’s book The Peaceful Pill Handbook. I am increasingly alarmed by the government’s intrusion into private citizens’ lives. Firstly, Kevin ‘Bloody’ Andrews’ private bill overturned the Northern Territory’s legislation to allow assisted suicide

for the terminally ill. Secondly, Tony ‘Mad Monk’ Abbott’s spieling that allowing RU486 to be sold would decimate Australia’s population. Then we had Peter ‘Smirk’ Costello seducing parents by giving them dosh to increase their families in this overpopulated globe. I am sick of the ‘white picket fence’ mentality that has crept stealthily into our federal government in the past ten years. It threatens to subsume any scientific, humanitarian or technological advances we have made since the 1950s. People have a right to live their own lives and that includes ending their lives. By withholding access to methods that are congruent with best health practices, this government is leaving people to make decisions as best they can. And make decisions they will even withcontinued overleaf

Fragile Tintenbar Valley Seashells found in the Tintenbar Valley near Sandy Flat indicate an ocean presence in a bygone era. Cyclonic flooding spills through the area and follows a natural outlet via North Creek to the sea. Inescapable floodwaters mingle with Tintenbar Cemetery drainage and lay stagnant for weeks fighting an antiquated flood system on my property to reach Emigrant Creek. The area however plays a major role in floodwater dispersal and easing pressure on Emigrant Creek, its autonomy even more vital in view of the relentless succession of manmade blockages crossing the Cumbalum floodplain a little further downstream, the only alternative floodwater escape. Valley problems surfaced

abruptly in cyclonic flooding of 1976, when floodwaters backed up through buildings and housing well beyond Tintenbar village, aided and abetted by several major blockages, including the Sandy Flat highway barrier and newly erected Tintenbar bridge. With total disdain to the valley and its landholders, floodplain folly continued unabashed by those entrusted to govern, with a smaller Cumbalum bridge replacement, and other landfill blockages, all contributing to a hellish situation, as evidenced in June 2005 flooding, from a mere nine inches of rainfall. Yet little emphasis is placed on the area in flood study issues, with landholder input overriden, and plans drawn

up for a coup-de-grace of the entire valley. In addition to the onslaught of virtually half a million cubic metres of highway landfill across the whole of the Emigrant Creek floodplain, including the Cumbalum and Sandy Flat valleys, other developments include a behind-the-scenes housing project (landfilled of course), for the Sandy Flat floodplain section of the Ross Lane-Cumbalum housing corridor, and goodness knows what else. Little foresight is needed to perceive the valley’s future, and the perpetrators of this life-threatening situation must take full responsibility for the heinous act of their creation.

the government’s increasingly religious underpinning of legislation indicative of ‘father knows best’. This is supposed to be a secular society. It is being undermined by religious factions in government. I, personally, want to live beyond the pecking reach of the religious right. I don’t think I am alone, but it is becoming increasingly difficult. And that should make us all sit up

and take notice at what rights are being eroded by a government in its efforts to control us within the confines of our private homes and lives.

out the dignity they should be afforded. Governments can’t stop people from taking their lives.

SCU local uni? SCU works hard to encourage local kids, including Byron High students, to go to their ‘local’ uni. Getting there is OK so

long as they are on the bus at 7:30am, but what a pity these kids have no public transport to get themselves back home if their classes end after 4:30pm. Travelling in Sydney or Brisbane is a breeze and cheap – any time, day or night – all government subsidised. Where is our share of support regionally? – or are we supposed to be satisfied with the road-building projects that help our city cousins come to visit in their fast cars? Without getting deeply into the major transport issue entrenching this region, I would like to suggest that a little bit of logic might easily provide a more immediate solution. We need a couple of evening / night bus services… not just from Lismore, but between Byron, Bangalow, Alstonville, Lennox and Ballina. Byron High has kids attending from towns across the region and they are friends with each other. Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights would be a good start. We need to know our kids can go out for a full day or go to a movie… and get back … without hopping into a novice driver’s car (which is now more restricted), or resorting to hitchhiking (which I saw two 13 year old girls do during school hours on Wednesday).

After at least ten years and thousands of new residents, the same old bus schedules apply. The bus companies concerned (they know who they are) need to stop this one-way trip and get real. If your drivers knock off at the same time as your potential commuters, then of course they can’t use your services. Stop undermining the futures of our children and provide a decent service.

Visions of peace ‘A perfect night gone wrong’, says Richard Friar in an article about his film launch Think About It at the Byron Bay Community Centre a week ago. I guess we have different views on what is a perfect night. As it was announced as a documentary about peace, I went to the showing with my 9 year young daughter. Before the event started together with my daughter, I saw Richard. He mentioned, ‘It is very important for kids to see this.’ The technical problems with the sound made space for an open forum, which turned into a screaming sessions of ‘You shut up’ and personal insults. Doesn’t peace start in our ourselves and our direct environment? The movie starts with a

beautiful wave, then Richard drinking beer and from then on a sequence of war images where people get blown into pieces and activists state their frustration. In between some strange images of David Gulpilil in the stars were shown. We left after about 15 to 20 minutes of terror. How can this be important to educate a young child? I find it actually completely inappropriate to give admission to children to this war documentary. It could be important to show how to obtain peace – show the wisdom of the Aboriginal people on living in peace and respect with this world. Provide some tools to have peace within oneself. Besides that the quality of editing, colour and sound is to be improved greatly, the direction of the content seems to need a total shift. When you announce a documentary about peace, please, Richard, show something that can contribute to world peace. Mariani Vermeend

State Election 2007 – a climate of change?

Your quadrennial chance to choose a pollie Michael McDonald Now only 18 promising days to go until we select a new state government on Saturday March 24. The State Election Office has set up a good website at www.elections.nsw.gov.au. Under the Media button, there is an information kit which can be downloaded in sections. You can also check which electorate you’re in, though the Australian Electoral Commission should have advised you where you are enrolled – if you are enrolled. For more background and colour, visit perennial pundit Antony Green at www.abc. net.au/elections/nsw/2007/ guide/default.htm and see The Sydney Morning Herald’s running list of stories at www. smh.com.au/nsw-election2007. Candidates’ names will be available on the Elections NSW website this coming Friday. So far for the seat of Ballina

The western hinterland of Byron Shire, which includes Federal, is in the much geographically larger electorate of Lismore – estimated electors 47,410. Running there are sitting Nationals MP Thomas George, ALP’s Peter Lanyon, Greens’ Andy Gough, and Julia Melland for the Australian Democrats. In both electorates it is going to be hard to topple the incumbent. In the 2003 election in Ballina, Don Page took 59.4% (21,354 votes) of the vote on final preferences against Labor’s Sue Dakin (14,581). Current Byron Shire mayor Jan Barham Relevant websites: polled a remarkable 8,337 www.thomasgeorge.com.au votes on preferences or www.donpage.com.au 19.6% for The Greens. Nic www.morrisiemma.com.au Faulkner also ran that time www.byron-ballina.nsw.greens.org.au and scored 727 votes. Antony www.nsw.greens.org.au/candidates/electorates/lismore Green estimates a 9.4% http://nsw.democrats.org.au swing to unseat Page, the – estimated electors 47,246 ALP’s Melanie Doriean, the local member since 1988. In Lismore George has – we know that the likely Greens’ John Bailey and Nic runners are sitting Nationals Faulkner of the Australian been in power since 1999. He took 58.1% of the vote member Don Page, the Patriot Party.

Page pledges $100K for Bangalow pool Member for Ballina Don Page has announced a NSW Liberal/Nationals Coalition government would provide $100,000 towards the construction of the Bangalow pool. Mr Page said the financial support would allow the planned swimming pool project, which is being advanced by the Bangalow

Pool Trust in consultation with Byron Shire Council, to become a reality. He said he hoped construction of the pool would commence during 2007, subject to council approval and the NSW Coalition winning the state election. ‘The Bangalow community has worked extremely hard to secure a significant

amount of financial and inkind support for this pool project,’ Mr Page said. ‘A pool would be well utilised in Bangalow by the entire community and is a project that has been on the agenda for some time. The injection of $100,000 would allow the project to start as soon as possible once council approval has been granted.

‘The Bangalow pool is a fine example of a community based initiative that the NSW Coalition is proud to support.’ Mr Page said the last time the Coalition was in government he pledged and delivered $100,000 for the Mullumbimby Pool which has been a great community facility for that community.

New partnership to fight cancer locally Byron Shire Council has announced a new partnership with The Cancer Council NSW, which aims to reduce the impact of cancer on local residents. ‘Congratulations to Byron Shire Council for taking this proactive step to help make its community Cancersmart,’ said Di Fisher of the Cancer Council’s Far North Coast regional office. The Cancer Council Community Partnerships program uses council outlets, networks and venues to get cancer prevention and support programs through to people and organisations in local communities. ‘For a small amount of effort and time and almost no out of pocket expense, councils in New South Wales can reap big health benefits for their community,’ said Ms Fisher. Byron Shire Mayor Jan Barham said, ‘The Council acknowledges the high level of physical and emotional suffering and financial burden caused by cancer in this community and has become a Cancer Council Commu-

nity Partner. Byron Council is committed to help lower the impact of this insidious disease in our community by supporting Cancer Council information and education campaigns that will benefit the community. ‘Councillors believe that by working in this partnership we can lower the impact of cancer in Byron Shire. One in three people will get cancer in their lifetime so it’s important we’re proactive about preventing cancer and helping and supporting cancer patients in our own community. ‘Byron Shire Council will make information available on our website and in libraries and Community Access Points. The Cancer Council also has made available cancer information centres to be set up in our local libraries so people affected by cancer can take home upto-date and accurate information and have held free shade workshops for Council staff to raise awareness in assessing, planning and designing shade needs,’ Cr Barham said.

(22,077 votes) in 2003 with Peter Lanyon polling 15,920 votes. The Greens’ John Corkill also did well, taking some 15% of the vote, or 6,079 votes on preferences. Julia Melland also ran that time and scored 600 votes. While an electoral boundary redistribution meant George lost some of his mar-

gin, it will still require a swing of over 8% for him to lose. Incidentally, The Nationals have made it easier to find their candidates online than has Labor. To track down details for Doriean and Lanyon you need to visit Morris Iemma’s website and enter your postcode.

Chiropractic during pregnancy Many people are still not aware of the great benefit that chiropractic care can have during pregnancy. The pelvis and abdomen undergo large amounts of stress and torsion during pregnancy and this can be transferred down the round ligament that suspends the uterus as well as to the sacroiliac joint at the base of the spine. Chiropractors can use a specific technique called the Webster technique which is very effective in reducing intrauterine constraint which means that the baby is able to move into the best position for birth. Both chiropractors at Byron Chiropractic are fully trained

Highway upgrade a boost to local job figures Brian Mollet Australian Bureau of Statistics figures show that unemployment has reached a 32year low Australia wide, and that Byron Shire was amongst the best-performed regions in NSW. This news came as a shock to many who cherished the notion that the north coast was a haven for dreamers, no-hopers and welfare recipients. Or could it be the road is driving the ambition? According to ABS figures, as of September last year our workforce of 14,333 recorded a jobless rate of 11.1 per cent, a real improvement on the recent days when levels were above 30 per cent.This means that over 1,000 new jobs over that period have been filled. Ron Rathborne and Debbie Fry, the GM and deputy GM of Job network member TURSA, and various local businesspeople agreed that the two billion dollar highway upgrade had a big effect on the figures. A public work of that size also boosts related industries like hospitality, entertainment, food and so on, and has a flow-on effect.

Does this mean the bad old days of employment are here again once the upgrade moves on? Ms Fry pointed out that the infrastructure of the highway would have a positive impact on jobs locally, and that people are more likely to travel to work in today’s job market. Mr Rathborne has been placing people in jobs locally for ten years, but would neither claim any credit for the figures, nor be drawn into debate about the IR laws. ‘We don’t think about the labour market in those broad terms at all,’ he said. ‘We prefer to deal with the problem on a client-to-client basis. ‘I’d be pleased to think we’ve moved a long way past the notion of the stereotypical “dole bludger”, but we do get people who are hostile to some of our programs like Work For The Dole. We treat this as a perception problem. ‘If you can present the idea that a client is doing a work experience program, that they are completing useful community work and gaining skills you’re half way

New to the workforce: 18-year-old Will Holloway of Mullumbimby has just started work at Betta Electrical in Burringbar Street. Will completed his HSC last year and went door knocking around town in the hope of snaring a job. ‘I had an open mind about what I wanted to do, but a friend gave me the tip that they were looking for a worker here.’ Like many jobseekers, he had to compromise to get into the workforce. ‘I have an interest in carpentry and would still look at an apprenticeship. This job has been good for me, I am learning lots about electronics and the staff here have made me feel welcome, and of course I enjoy earning the money.’ Photo Jeff Dawson

to solving that problem.’ Due to client confidentiality he could not talk about specific placements he has made but he was willing to agree that construction, renovation, aged care and service industries like cleaning make up a relatively high

proportion of placements. This would suggest that along with the highway the still buoyant real estate market, high rents, and our ageing population also have something to do with jobs growth in Byron Shire. He also added, ‘Quite a

few of our clients have had to adjust their perception about looking for a job. They might have left relatively high paying jobs and made a lifestyle choice to live here. ‘Many find they have to compromise or re-skill to break in to the labour market.’ Richmond MP Justine Elliott also put forward the view that the workplace laws are changing the structure of the business landscape in places like Byron Shire. ‘It has a homogenising effect. Small, often family run businesses find that they have to compete with capitalised larger operators who are now in a position to offer lower wages and fewer benefits for their employees, which keeps down costs. Many find they can’t compete and fall out of the system.’ Are we really churning out medium businesses at the expense of the corner store? The closure of the Popular Café in Mullumbimby and the influx of franchises in Byron Bay would seem to add weight to the argument. The Echo contacted ten

businesses in Mullumbimby, Byron and Brunswick Heads and asked if they were employing more people than a year ago, with the following results: Of the 30 businesses we canvassed, four had put on new staff, and two had lost staff. Four more said they had experienced an increase in turnover, but existing staff covered the work entailed. This is a small sample of the workforce but hardly indicative of 1,000 new jobs in Byron Shire, in fact those figures extrapolate to only 60. If this is indeed the case we have a long way to go before current employment levels are sustainable. The fact remains that when the highway recedes to the horizon we will be scanning that same horizon for the next ‘boom’ to arrive. Some comfort may be gained by the fact that if the departure of the highway upgrade leaves you an out of work builder, contractor or restaurateur you can always join the corner store proprietors and get on with the task of scrubbing the floors of middle management.

Showdown with Ranji and the James brothers David Lovejoy ponders the afterlife without the aid of substances When the famous cricketer Ranjitsinhji, travelling alone to fulfill some kind of religious penance, arrived at our home he charmed my widowed mother into inviting him to stay to dinner. Our house was a huge rambling priory, with an enormous front lawn as large as a cricket field. Ranji was perfect in every detail, with his athletic lope, doublebreasted blazer, MCC tie, shoes with spats, and shy and understated mannerisms. But I knew he was a fake. He accepted my mother’s invitation gracefully and was handed over to the butler, with whispered directions about the second-best guest room. I remained with her outside the great front door to the priory, where she had encountered him and where he had told her some nonsensical story about the purpose of his visit. ‘This is completely impossible, Mother. Ranjitsinhji was a cricket icon before the first world war. If he were still alive he would be over a hundred years old.’ ‘But his manners are so beautiful. He must be genuine. No-one can deceive me about manners, my dear.’ ‘He is a fake, a simulacrum, for all I know he’s been grown from a vat of genes, but he cannot be the real Ranjitsinhji.’ But my mother was smitten, and I had no alternative but to undermine myself in an attempt to save her. ‘Mother, he is lying because he wants something from you. I know he is lying because we are both men, and that’s what men do: they lie to get things from women.’ ‘I’m sure you do it very nicely, dear. Now come inside. We’ll have drinks in the library.’ After dinner we dispensed with the withdrawing ritual, as my mother was the only

female present. Instead we men tacitly agreed to forgo our cigars, although we did pass the port decanter around. Mother kept a glass of dessert wine beside her, but she hardly touched it. There were four of us altogether. The males were my cousin Dorian, myself and the enigmatic Ranjitsinhji. With an eye to drawing Ranji (as he insisted we call him) out from his cover, I turned the conversation to metaphysical matters. Life after death was my theme, but before I could broach it properly Dorian interrupted with one of his tiresome subWildean quips. ‘In some cases we’d do better to establish if there’s life before death, what?’ ‘Dorian, don’t be silly.Your cousin has a serious point, don’t you, dear?’ ‘Yes, Mother, I do. Only if life after death were possible could our visitor be a genuine prince. You, Ranji,’ and I put as much insulting familiarity into my tone as the scion of a fourth generation subcontinent civil servant could muster, ‘you, Ranji, are not the famous cricketer and Jamsahib of Nawanagar.That man died in 1933.’ And here I triumphantly produced my clinching argument, obtained during a preprandial browse in the Britannica: ‘What is more, Kumar Shri Ranjitsinhji only had one eye; he lost the other in a shooting accident in 1920!’ There was a stunned and slightly embarrassed silence, which lasted for about five seconds. It was broken by Ranji dropping his glass eye on to the cheese plate, where it rolled around with a defiant tinkle. ‘Why do you think life after death is impossible?’ he asked mildly. Fortunately I had left Dorian to entertain our guest before dinner. While they chatted I had turned away to

the bookshelves to cram up on my subject, so I was not as unready as one might suppose. ‘I don’t have to prove a negative,’ I said, ‘it is up to proponents of the afterlife to prove their case. But to start with, there are no reliable reports of such a thing as disembodied consciousness. Mind requires brain. All awareness depends upon a physical generator.’ ‘It could as easily be argued that it depends upon a physical receiver,’ said Ranji. ‘Oh no, argue for a receiver and you have to have a transmitter. In the absence of any evidence for this multiplication of entities, Ockham’s Razor determines that the simplest explanation is the most likely. The brain generates mind, which therefore dissolves when the brain ceases to function.’ ‘How absolute you are, my friend. It is at least as likely that the material world is brought into being by the operation of mind. Universal consciousness explains more than universal matter.’ ‘What about these spiritualist chappies,’ said Dorian,

'PS TBMF o 4IPQ BOE 'PS MFBTF o 4IPQ TRN XJUI TRN VTBCMF PVUEPPS TQBDF QFS TRN

‘ouija boards and ectoplasm and so forth. Don’t they show there’s life after death?’ To my surprise Ranji dismissed this argument himself. ‘They have been shown to be frauds so often, that it stands to reason that those few who have not been exposed yet are merely better operators than all the others. No, the afterlife deserves better evidence than that.’ He looked at me. ‘I take it that you do not accept religious testimony about our subject?’ ‘No, I do not, and for the same reason as you have just given. Most religious thought would be seen for the drivel it is if it weren’t sanctioned by tradition. I am not basing my understanding of the universe on what some hallucinating stone-age shaman heard going on in his head thousands of years ago.’ ‘We don’t need to go so far back for mystical experiences. Do you reject per se that there are states of mind so profound, so pellucidly clear, so comprehensive that they effortlessly transcend our mundane consciousness?’ ‘There may be such, but

descriptions of them are merely subjective,’ I said and reached for my last Britannica morsel. ‘William James, who coined the term “cosmic consciousnessâ€?, was prevented by his place in the temporal sequence from enjoying better psychedelics and therefore employed nitrous oxide to transcend his mind. Generations of giggling dentists have watched over his shoulder as he recorded his insight: “Higamous, hogamous, women are monogamous; hogamous, higamous, men are polygamousâ€?.’ Mother laughed. ‘I’m not so sure James did not discover a profound truth,’ she said. ‘His brother, the novelist Henry James, saw the afterlife as something like a literary reputation,’ said Ranji. ‘If the creative consciousness interacts with the world on enough levels it becomes‌ permanent. Art and history provide a kind of afterlife, and if those terms sound too pretentious for the reality in which I find myself surviving here at this moment, then let’s just call it communication.’ We digested this, or, in Dorian’s case, ignored it while pouring himself a large port. ‘James saw afterlife not as a belief, but as a desire,’ Ranji went on. ‘And whether that desire gets fulfilled is beyond the capacity of our earthbound brain to know; in his words, our “poor palpable, ponderable, probeable, laboratory brainâ€?.’ ‘So the status of the afterlife has been declining over the years,’ I said. ‘It has gone from a fact, to a belief, to a desire. How much weaker can it get?’ ‘On the contrary, I think that’s an upward progression. There is nothing in the universe more powerful than desire. But aren’t you forget-

ting the most salient piece of evidence?’ ‘What’s that?’ said Dorian on cue, but I knew what Ranji meant. ‘My existence here in your dining room. I am either an impostor or proof of afterlife. In fact I can never prove to you that I am the real Ranji, because even if I answered your questions for a year and dictated the story of my life in twenty volumes down to the most minute circumstances, you would still prefer to believe there is some fraud involved. To look squarely at the case would require too much of a paradigm shift. So like an old scientist presented with a revolution in his field you turn a blind eye, so to speak, to the new evidence, preferring to cling to your old certainties.’ ‘Since you represent but one anomaly in a series of millions of events you are quite right that I do not accept your existence,’ I said with some asperity. Ranji sighed, took a sip of port and belched delicately behind his hand. I don’t know what turn the argument would have taken, because at that moment the butler announced that coffee was being served in the library. Somehow the subject had been changed by the time we all had cups in our hands, and the evening ended with nothing more controversial than the prospects of the Sussex team in the county cricket competition. Ranjitsinhji left in the morning to pursue his mysterious pilgrimage. I was relieved that my mother’s honour appeared to remain intact and the family silver unpilfered. In fact the household would have forgotten him altogether, but for the glass eye the kitchen maid discovered among the washing up.

Articles Sue Arnold recounts her misgivings about the home of the brave

The homeless regarded as noxious animals

A

s a pretty regular visitor to America for the last 26 years, I thought I was doing well coping with the growing and very obvious signs of collective insanity. But this trip brought home how close the world is to mania, rampant infectious madness. It’s hard to know where to begin. Let’s start with the funerals of young soldiers killed in Iraq. In some states, demonstrators armed with great big placards are turning the funerals into a bizarre protest against homosexualilty. ‘This is God’s punishment for homosexuality’ the signs proclaim. In Oregon, the Governor had to bring in a law prohibit these demonstrations at funerals. Southern Oregon is a weird place. Spectacularly beautiful, Mount Shasta dominates the scenery. So too, do the signs on the freeway. One huge sign was a hand, blood dripping down from its wrist. ‘This blood is being shed for your sins’ said the message. And a little further on, miles and miles of crosses in fields and finally a sign. ‘This is the number of abortions that take place in the USA every year.’ Moving on to Florida where the sun is supposed to shine in winter, I was struck by the numbers of homeless people sleeping in the parks in Tampa, sleeping under the awnings of shops. I found a newspaper with banner headlines ‘Do Not Feed the Homeless’. The article was simply astonishing. Communities are passing laws to criminalise anyone who feeds homeless people. In Florida, local government had actually put up signs in parks which say: DO NOT LIE OR OTHERWISE BE IN A HORIZONTAL POSITION ON A PARK BENCH. DO NOT SLEEP OR REMAIN IN ANY BUSHES, SHRUBS OR FOLIAGE. In the parks’ restrooms more signs: BATHING AND/OR SHAVING IN RESTROOM IS PROHIBITIED. Laundering clothes in a nearby lake was also prohibited. Orlando took the cake. In July, the city commission passed an ordinance regulating the feeding of large groups of people in Orlando’s downtown parks. Those who wished to feed more than 25 hungry individuals at parks within a two mile radius of City Hall could do so, but only if they obtained a ‘Large Group Feeding Permit’ from the Parks depart-

ment and no-one would be granted more than two feeding permits per year. That same month, Las Vegas criminalised giving food to even a single transient in any city park. A number of US cities have passed similar laws either restricting or outright prohibiting the feeding of the homeless. In Fairfax County, Virginia, homemade meals and meals made in church kitchens may not be distributed to the homeless unless first approved by the county. Apparently, the thinking is that if you drive the visible homeless out of downtown

America, cities can attract developers and big money. As one guy put it, ‘It’s a sorry state of affairs when you can feed squirrels, doves and pigeons but not a hungry person down on their luck.’ At airports, people are busy talking to themselves, blue lights flashing intermittently from one side of the head, a person could be forgiven for thinking the aliens had landed. If you happen to fly into Dallas Fort Worth, which is bigger than the city of Manhattan, you can only hope that there is a way out and you will not be lost forever on inter-terminal trains.

In Monterey, we booked into a hard to find reasonably priced motel. The young man behind the reception desk was watching Back To The Future. I said conversationally, ‘Would you like to go back to the past or the future?’ He said, ‘Oh I’d go back and fix up my debts.’ I said, ‘Oh I ‘d go back and make sure George Bush never got elected.’ Foolish remark. With that he roared out of his seat, foaming at the mouth, eyes rabid. What followed could only be described as a Hitler-like diatribe on how we should bomb Iraq

into smithereens, how wonderful Pres Bush is, how we need to kill all those terrorists. Man alive, it was positively terrifying. Like push button A and out comes Mad Max. For light relief, the saga of the astronaut who drove 900 miles in an adult diaper armed with mace, revolver, rubber hose, gas mask and other nasties to stalk her lover’s latest girlfriend was mesmerising. Environmentally, climate change is the big one. Health food stores and book shops are bending under the weight of magazines dealing with the change. Some of the

ideas are astonishing. Like the idea of building skyscrapers to house 50,000 people. Designed to recycle and provide food for this amount of people by re-using waste water, waste etc. there didn’t seem to be any provision for sunlight and fresh air. There’s few suggestions about cutting down, cutting back, living lightly on the earth. It’s hard to think about how anyone could do that in the USA. Business as usual with the new spin catching on fast – Being Green – as long as it doesn’t inconvenience. And don’t feed the homeless.

Between the tide lines Mary Gardner Being new in town, I especially enjoy reading the local papers. I love learning about local people. The other ‘daily read’ is the tide line along the sea shore. Here, in the debris and flotsam is where I can find out something about the local marine life. Back in New Zealand, my professor, John Morton, took us out to walk on every kind of shore within 350 kilometres of the university. He was a tall thin man, with a quick step and an endless supply of stories. We got very fit keeping up with him physically and intellectually. He insisted we memorise hundreds of names of marine species in both English and Latin. He was of the generation that still looked to England as the Home Country. He completed his academic training in England and was steeped in the classics of both science and art. Once, when he gave us yet another list, he reminded us of Plato and Aristotle. ‘Look at the famous painting at the Vatican by Raphael. Plato and Aristotle are in the centre, debating. Plato is pointing up, to the sky, to the ideals. Aristotle is pointing to the ground, to the details, to everyday life. If you want to

The subtle beauty of a clump of ascidians.

do ecology, you must do as Aristotle did.You must know the details first, the species themselves and how they live, before discussing any theory.’ He stopped walking, oblivious to the water splashing around his ankles. ‘You must recognize each species, in whatever season of their life cycle. Then when you examine the tide lines, you will be able to piece together a picture of the underwater world near and far and the forces that are acting on it.’ Recently, tough leathery grey lumps rolled up on the white sandy shore at Clarkes Beach and up to The Pass. I picked up one. Sure enough, the heavy mass, often stud-

ded with white and red barnacles, was a clump of sea squirts. It was nearly dead and wasn’t able to squeeze any water out in self defence. I looked out to Julian Rocks. Sea squirts, or ascidians, are sessile, living at sub tidal or deeper depths, spending their adult lives constantly submerged, attached to a hard surface. This can be rock or coral, a ship wreck or other sunken junk. All of the substrates exist along the sandy bottom between me on the shore and the Rocks two kilometres out. These ascidians are only on the shore because something like stormy weather or human disturbance ripped them

Sculpture up the Creek from their stable base. The tear in the side of the one I was holding revealed a long hollow from base to top, a smooth tough purple interior. The adult is a narrow sac that pumps seawater through itself, filtering for food particles. It clumps with others of the same species which means it is a colonial type. Some, you see, are solitary. You can’t guess by looking at them, but ascidians are hermaphrodites. Each can produce both eggs and sperm. Sensible enough if you are fixed to one place for your whole life and still want sex. Even more incredible is knowing that the young produced are small larvae that resemble tadpoles. But the showstopper news is that they have a spinal column and a nervous system, in common to every other kind of chordate, creatures with backbones. The larvae only have a few days before they must settle somewhere. So they don’t crowd their parents but they also generally don’t travel that very far away either.When they settle, they lose all trace of that nervous system and don’t develop into any sort of vertebrates like fish or birds or reptiles or mammals. Like us. But they are our relatives. Like it or not, they are simply distant parts of our family. In our western tradition we use a classification system by Linnaeus and other intellectuals of some five hundred years ago.This system groups species of every kind into a network of relatives, distant and close. The system is based on sex and development. The upshot is that we ascidians and humans both look at worms as spineless creatures.

Agritourism workshop

Organisers of the Farm and Nature Tourism Business Development Program are releasing places in the next stage of the interactive workshop program scheduled to run at the end of March. Landowners from the local council areas of Ballina, Byron Bay, Lismore, Kyogle and Clarence Valley can join the program. Conceived by the Sustainable Tourism Cooperative Research Centre (ST-CRC) and developed by the Australian Regional Tourism Research Centre (ARTRC) based at Southern Cross University, the program is designed to act as a catalyst for the establishment of Agri and Nature-based tourism clusters in rural and regional communities across Australia. Sustainable Tourism ■ Mary Gardner is a writer, CRC’s Regional Industry biologist and tutor. Visit her and Destination Developwebsite at www.mgardner. ment Manager Rose Wright info). said, ‘Farmers wanting to

investigate tourism options for their property should register their interest for the program. The Northern Rivers region has untapped potential to add value to agriculture and boost rural economies by connecting with the tourism sector. ‘Visitors don’t just want to lie on the beach, they can do that anywhere. Visitors are drawn to this beautiful place because of our rich fertile and clean environment. They want to taste our produce, meet our people and share our wonderful way of life. ‘If rural land is to remain economically viable, diversification and value adding has to be considered as part of the farm business. For some people tourism may be that value adding opportunity they seek.’ To register your interest in participating contact Rose Wright on 6626 9373, 0427 232246 or rose.wright@scu. edu.au.

Tony Hughes is in the middle of making a cup of tea when he takes my call. It sounds like a pretty relaxed Friday, with friends swinging through the door throughout our chat. It’s exactly the kind of ambient backstory you expect from one of the best reggae outfits in the country: Kingtide. So how did a former child star who featured in classic Aussie films like Puberty Blues find his way to reggae? ‘I think it’s a generational thing really – all these rock artists were becoming blues players, and the blues explosion happened in Chicago in the 30’s. There’s a thirty year gap that takes white people to catch on to the music. The musicians that played on the first Bob Marley album – Catch of Fire didn’t know what it was – you gotta get in the groove – find the zone.’ Kingtide haven’t felt the necessity to rush. They’ve taken it slowly. With their debut To Our Dearly Deported coming on the eve of their singer Sean’s sudden removal from Australian soil, the band has continued to build from its Jamaican influenced ska rock steady reggae.

‘We haven’t pushed any rivers, we have to go organically – building – it has to be like that. We haven’t really stressed on it – the band keeps working and we keep playing, there’s seven of us travelling and we pick up a horn element, wherever we go.’ Their most recent album, Scared New Worlds, brings the seven players together at their best. This is not an album put together piece to piece, it was a massive group collaboration. ‘We played live in the studio – it’s the nature of the beast.’ The origins or Kingtide are as uncontrived and organic as reggae itself. None of the band members had

any intention of hooking up. ‘I played in Bellydance and then didn’t do anything for a few years. This all came about because Glenn (Wright of Vitamin) was putting together reggae nights at Bondi, and he asked if he could put a band together, and here we are, it was never put together to conquer the world – we have had one rehearsal the whole time. Apart from our CDs, we learn the music – and turn up to the gig.’ Tony is not a fan of rehearsals. ‘Knowing what it’s like in the rehearsal isn’t the same as when it’s live, it’s never the same, it can get boring. We make mistakes all the time – but playing like that develops trust – we have the antennae out – we give special looks when you miss that beat. I try and learn the lyrics, and I don’t often get it right so don’t come to the Kingtide gig and expect to hear the album – it will be the album and more as well – it goes both ways.’

HUMAN MUSIC FOR WHALES Yep, you’ve heard of whale music for humans, now its time to help our large and blubbery friends with some human music for whales. The Byron Entertainment Centre plays host to the Byron Ocean Benefit, a unique music and arts event happening on Saturday 17 March. The evening features a host of local and national artists, including Beau Young, Crowfeather and Hungdonkey and brings cross-genre music to a youth audience, to families, to the older generations, and to whales. In fact you haven’t lived until you’ve seen a whale get down in the mosh pit. The benefit is aiming to raise awareness for Sea Shepherd and numerous other ocean conservation organizations. Event organizer, Kent Farrugia is convinced of the need for awareness. ‘After speaking to Sea Shepherd founder Paul Watson… I realised that awareness is the key. I have surfed for 20 plus years

(but) was totally unaware of some of the whaling activities that are taking place. While music is certainly the principal focus of the event, it is by no means the sole entertainment. Artists including Howie Cooke and James MacMillan will be producing works in situ, to be raffled during the event. Howie is famed for his deep connection to the sea and his tireless commitment to the saline shores. His paintings are underwater dreamscapes that leave you wondering if Howie isn’t part fish himself. The Space Cowboy will also be there. Actually, I have a bone to pick with Mr Cowboy. My young son Charlie is completely enamoured. My cutlery has never been the same. Just this morning I was brushing my teeth in the bathroom and my daughter yelled out: ‘Mum, Charlie’s bent the spoon’. Great. They don’t bend back. According to Charlie he’s using the power of his mind. I haven’t caught him yet, but I am sure mind power also includes two little hands. So Space

Boy, could you please reveal the amazing trick that turns cutlery back? I wouldn’t mind if it was a cheap K-Mart set, but the kid is bending Italian silver. Drumming and ukulele workshops will provide added interest to younger guests, with the licensed bar offering refreshments for all. Professional surfers, including Billabong freesurfer, Dave Rastovich, will also be present to voice their support, helping raise awareness through their celebrity. It will a whale of a time. Sorry, I know that’s corny but I was in a hurry to get my dolphin in.

5 DAY BLUESFEST TIX FOR LOCALS There’s only 300 left, so if you wanted the full 5 day Blues Festival immersion, you should get your blues lovin booty down to the Bluesfest office from 9.30am on Saturday 17 March.

You don’t need to show your address or ID, but a small on the spot urine sample is required. Later you

will be asked to perform your best version of Smoke on the Water nude on Bangalow Road, judged by Peter Noble and Mr Chugg. All right, I made that bit up. Just be there dude in your fleshy person.

and July including festivals and a month of shows in and around London. Paul Greene has now released his 4th independent album, and O’Connor his 2nd, both turning down offers from majors, intent on building their word of mouth discovery, rather than – (as Greene’s friend and comember of Hirst & Greene, Rob Hirst, put it in his ARIA speech) embarking on a ‘get famous quick’ career. (Yeah good on them. That’s what I’m doing. I mean, it’s not like I haven’t had offers. I haven’t. I want to do it on my own terms. I want to be poor. Struggle is cool. Keeps you hungry.) Greene is looking forward to taking a break from touring in Australia to introduce his music to both Europe and the US. Paul and Stuart, or Stu or Stewie as he’ll be dubbed here in Oz play the Lennox Hotel on Sunday and the Rails on Thursday 15 March.

I LOVE CHARLIE That was a t-shirt I bought in Sydney when I had my third child. I didn’t realise it meant I love Coke. I suddenly realised why they locked me out of the Greenwich Public School P&C meeting. Charlie is Charlie Parker – jazz legend. Jazz student Jason Delphin took the name The Charlie Parkers in honour of the great player, and as testament to the man this exciting young band are cutting their own way through the rock landscape. Jason Delphin (lead vocal/guitar) and Gavin Oliver (drums) have been playing together since early 2000. They formed The Charlie Parkers in 2002 in Tasmania with Michael Lord (bass guitar) and won JJJ’s unearthed with Jason’s ballad Something Wrong in April 2003. Something Wrong is used on internationally watched TV shows Home and Away and The Secret Life of Us. In fact every time there is an intense emotional scene on Home and Away, Something Wrong plays in

the background. They have supported Powderfinger, The Living End, The John Butler Trio, The Butterfly Effect, 1200 Techniques and The Church. Jason and Gavin moved to the Gold Coast in 2004 and have been playing with various other musicians and at venues from Brisbane down thru the Gold Coast to Byron Bay, developing the Charlie Parkers and working up to their current style until January 2006. They are a band people don’t stop talking about, and something tells me they are destined for big things. They are joined by Heart Attack, on tour from the US with Australian Sam Joole. They play the Hotel Great Northern on Thursday.

DRESS YOU UP IN MY DUB Start oiling those dreadlocks baby, break out the red yellow and green, it’s one love, one dub at Durrumbul Hall on Saturday. The night features

Dubshack, Lion I, Forest Dub, DJ Bodhi Seed, Truth and Rights Soundsystem and more. $15/12. The guys sent me a selection of photos, but my fave was the one with a huge reefer. Although there’s no proof it’s a reefer, it could just be a very large rollie. This is the debut for Forest Dub: the North Coast’s newest Roots Reggae Dub band, featuring the wonderful vocals of Simon Jerrems from Melbourne backed by a supergroup of North Coast Reggae bands. The band features Gary O’ Dread (Lion I) on drums ,Marky Power (Dubshack) on bass, Luc Bernard (Freakylou) on keyboards, Jesse Willaton (ex-Lion I) on guitar and Matty Williams (Bushman Roots) on percussion. Get down to support this very special combination of people playing this very special reggae and Dub gig. I was hoping for a bit more info, but nothing else came through. Computer got stoned man. It will be a very chilled and groovy night – nothing to gurrumble about at Durrumbul.

TO THE MAX 2007 is set to be a exciting year for Tweed/Gold Coast band, Max Judo. They kicked off the year with performances at the Woodford Folk Festival and now the boys are geared up for one heck of a year. With their E.P. In Transit selling well the boys are currently planning a mid year international tour with strong interest from Europe, Japan, Brazil and the US. The boys play their very own brand of surf rock at the Hotel Great Northern on Friday.

MURPHY’S LAW After a very successful CD launch a few weeks back local artist Cheynne Murphy returns to play the iconic Railway Friendly Bar. Cheynne will be performing on the night with Mark Heazlett, James Cox and a special guest appearance from Andrew Couttie. ‘This is a a very organic acoustic roots sound with James on percussion and Mark on acoustic guitar. I am kind of viewing music pretty fluidly at the moment and am working with some amazingly talented musicians who are sometimes working on their own projects. I have a small collective of people I am working with at the moment so my ‘band’ as such is constantly changing. Rather than seeing this as a limiting thing I see it as a way to explore new dimensions in my songs. It will be an interesting sound having percussion as the main rhythmic support. This Thursday.

She completed an ACE standup course last year and it was obvious that the girl had real talent. She moved to Adelaide, did the odd open spot, entered Raw, and in no time at all, the very same routine she’d performed at the Byron Bay Bowlo was performed on the telly and she took out the national title. Since then she’s performed at Edinburgh, Montreal and is a regular on the circuit. It’s the stuff

dreams are made of. Could this be you? Do you have what it takes? Sometimes all you need is the ability to translate your life experience into material and a resilience that will see you give it a go time after time. In a world about to expire, with terrorist threats, corrupt governments, cancer, dumb celebrities, the comedian is a godsend – a voice of questioning reason in a sea of stupidity. Every year Byron Bay hosts two fabulous comedy heats to offer local talent the opportunity to be part of RAW. Judged by comedy experts, come and support your local contenders. The winner of each heat will make their way to Brisbane or Sydney to participate in the semi-finals. For the past three years we have had a Byron person compete in the finals – Sharon Fraser, Sandy Gandhi and Liam Holm have all done us proud. If you are interested in competing, there’s still time to register for a Byron heat – www. rawcomedy.com.au. I will be your MC for the evening, and tickets are just $10/15. These are very popular nights so sometimes it’s a good idea to book ahead! Food is now available by Eats and Beats – yummy platters, rice paper rolls and cakes. Raw Comedy, Heat One. Hosted by Mandy Nolan. 8pm. Monday. Byron Bowling Club. $10/15. Bookings: 6684 3443 or tix available at the Club.

Have you ever felt like you’ve been to the Underworld and back? Maybe a few times? Few of us escape a whole lifetime without at least one experience that leaves us feeling like we’ve reached the bottom of a deep, dark pit to hang from a hook on the wall. The myth of Persephone and Demeter is perhaps the more commonly known myth of descent and transformation, but it is Inanna’s tale – the ancient Sumerian Love Goddess that local professional storyteller Jenni Cargill-Strong loves best. ‘There are many things that draw me powerfully to Inanna’s myth cycle,’ said Jenni. ‘The text is

richly sensual, the imagery deeply fecund. The myth paints a timeless portrait of human nature full of irony and humour and the story graphically portrays the struggles we undergo in our quest to become whole. Unlike some other Goddess stories, no one rapes Inanna, beheads her or conquers her. Despite all her trials, Inanna is ultimately triumphant. She just gets more and more magnificent – just as we real women (and men) can – if we dare to push beyond our limitations.’ Jenni will appear twice at The Whole Woman Festival Friday at 10am in Uki to lead a workshop ‘Our Stories Our Selves’ and Saturday at 10am in Kingscliff to perform Inanna as part of the Awakening the Sacred Feminine.

FILM BOYS IN BRAS Northern Rivers Screenworks is hosting the Byron Bay premiere of Bra Boys in the first of its Reel Talk series. The premiere, which will be attended by co-directors Sunny Abberton and Macario De Souza, is on Saturday at Byron Cinemas at 5pm.

www.echo.net.au

After the screening, the directors will do a Q&A session. Bra Boys is a film about the cultural evolution of the inner Sydney beachside suburb of Maroubra and the social struggle of its youth – the tattooed and much maligned surf community known as the Bra Boys. The story is narrated by Australian actor Russell Crowe and is told through the eyes of members of the Bra Boys. Tickets are $15 for Screenworks members and $20 for non members. Tickets are available at Byron Cinemas Ph: 6680 8555. For information about membership of Screenworks, call 6687 1599 or go to events@screenworks.com.au.

THEATRE AN INSPECTOR CALLS I love English murder stories. They are so formal. Everyone is so frigging polite. Usually someone is frigging dead. On the carpet. No one knows how. It’s a mystery. The Lismore Theatre Company drags out the classic An Inspector Calls for another showing. It is a thriller with a twist and takes place in the dining room of well healed industrialist Arthur

BLIM, The original ‘boy lost in space’ has long been one of the heavyweights in the breaks scene. Playing and producing – along side the likes of Rennie Pilgrem, Chris Carter and Meat Katie, he has also released a huge amount of wellknown tunes as well as an excellent debut album. As an international DJ, who just played in his 30th country, he is highly respected and is here with Tayo to promote a new regular ‘chew the fat!’ night. Blim talked to me about his record label, MP3’s and Napalm Death.

You recently DJ’d in your 30th country, what are some of your favourite touring experiences? My first tour of Asia in 2003 was incredible. To go to China for the first time and spend a bit of time there was incredible. I also ended up playing in a tree on a beach on Koh Tao in Thailand once which was ace. I always love my trips to Oz and NZ too. My trips to Eastern Europe are always very rewarding. Kazakhstan was my 30th country. I would never have guessed that when I started with my first international gig in Serbia in 1996.

How’s your label, Track Records cruising along? It’s just been rejuvenated really. The latest release with Diverted has gone down really well and the distribution situation has improved. Have also just launched a night and a radio show under the name Tracktion which should help the label’s profile too. I’ve got plenty of plans for releases over the next 12 months so I’m excited about the prospects.

You have a radio show on i-break, what’s your feeling on internet radio, podcasts and downloads? I love doing live radio. Love chatting to people. Haven’t really got my head round the podcast thing yet. It’s all changing and there’s no stopping it so I’m ready to embrace anything that comes along. You have some very diverse influences, such as Napalm Death, Beethoven and The

Birling during an engagement party. It was written in 1945 but set in 1910 and is very relevant to our own time as it examines how people can unknowingly affect each other’s lives with their

individual self interest set against the values of caring and community. The family learn more than they want to know as the mysterious Inspector questions them about the death of a girl they

barely know. The show opens Thursday 15 March and runs until Saturday 31st March at the Rochdale Theatre Goonellabah. Evening performances begin at 8pm on Thursday, Friday

be a track off my 2003 album. It’s called Skapurr and it never reached vinyl. So I’m going to do a new mix. It’s always been a hugely popular track down here.

You’ve been to Australia a lot, where do you like hanging out? Melbourne is kind of like a second home to me but I always love Byron and its surroundings and also the far north where I usually try to spend some time going bush. Where do you think the breaks sound is going? It’s really hard to say. It’s got very diverse but also perhaps a bit stale in some respects. Breaks has always had this tendency to absorb influences from a lot of different genres and maybe right now it’s taken on a bit more than is healthy. I agree with Renbnie Pilgrem that we should get back to the breaky sound that made it so fresh. I hear that a lot from people who’ve been into the sound for a long time. I’ve never really been one for predicting the future. I just get on with what I feel is next for me.

Cure. How do these artists influence your music? Napalm Death gave me a taste for raw energy, Beethoven was dark and yet

melodic and I guess I just loved the sound of the Cure more than anything. The Ozric Tentacles were a really huge influence too. They had

PAN’S LABYRINTH Seeing this twice within a fortnight, I was even more affected the second time around. It’s not the sort of film that comes along every day and, whatever you do, don’t be misled by the title or poster into thinking it is for kids. Far from it. If you are familiar with Mexican writer/director Guillermo del Toro’s The Devil’s Backbone (2001), in which the ghost of a murdered boy is avenged through the agency of a newcomer to an orphanage, you might have some idea of what to expect. Set in Spain in 1944, after the Fascists’ victory, he again places a

child at the centre of the action. Twelve year old Ofelia (Ivana Baquero in a truly remarkable performance), is a princess of the underworld who is destined, we are told at the outset, to one day return to her realm. She and her pregnant mother arrive at a military outpost where the daughter meets her stepfather, Captain Vidal, a vain and odious symbol of Franco’s oppressive rÊgime as well as of a particular type of masculinity. You know you are in for something special when Ofelia speaks directly to the unborn baby in her mother’s belly (it’s a moment to take your

breath away), and so it goes, as she is drawn by fairies to the labyrinth and into contact with a stern, task-setting faun. The simplicity and thrust of the narrative disguises the many layers upon which it is so soundly constructed. Del Toro, without a hint of the show-pony, tells his story with effortless fluidity, not for a minute distracted by cleverness or preaching. The world he creates is one in which everything is alive, everything has meaning. Visually painterly, in the mannered and dark tradition of Goya, Velazquez and el Greco, the landscape is wintery and the imagery is never quite unhinged, remaining at all times crucial to the content. The result is an intoxicating mix of fantasy with reality, paganism with religiosity, politics with humanism. Be prepared however – it is not as blood splattered as Apocalypto, but the scenes of violence, though not gratuitous, are unspeakably brutal. As is so often the case in Spanish cinema, it is a woman who is the most memorable, heroic figure. Maribel Verdu as Mercedes, the servant who betrays the Fascists for a band of Republican guerillas,

is just great. As a bonus, the movie also has the scariest and most original monster I have seen on screen for a long time. Profoundly spiritual at the same time as confrontingly carnal, it is overwhelming and, at its close, miraculous. John Campbell.

NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM Ben Stiller plays a divorcee who is on his uppers. In order to maintain a relationship with his ten year-old son, he accepts a job as nightwatchman at the New York Museum of Natural History. It’s a grand old institution that has held firm against drab modernity’s discrediting of the idea that curiosity and imagination can be stirred by tableaux and stuffed figures. Sluggish at first, the movie dawdles in getting to the crux of the story after the anticipated but overextended coming to life of the exhibits who are prevented by a Dorian Gray type embargo from being struck by daylight – if they are they will turn to dust. All is threatened when the golden tablet which animates them every evening is heisted by the doddering employees who have been

• Alastair Campbell: The Palace has sent over an advance copy of the Queen’s tribute to Diana.

THE LAST KING OF SCOTLAND

performance as the crazed Ugandan dictator Idi Amin. Whitaker’s portrayal brims with charm and outrageous humour, making Amin’s emerging savagery scary as hell. The film is based on the novel by Giles Foden, and views Amin through a fictional character, the young Scottish doctor Nicholas Garrigan (gifted newcomer James McAvoy), who signs on in 1971 as Amin’s personal MD. The script, by Peter Morgan (The Queen) and Jeremy Brock (Mrs. Brown), asks us to see ourselves in Nicholas, seduced by Amin’s charisma and awakening too late to his evil. Forest Whitaker is on fire, and as long as he’s onscreen, The Last King keeps you riveted. Peter Travers in Rolling Stone Magazine)

retrenched by the boss, a rather torpid Ricky Gervais. Despite the potential, there are no scary moments, nor is it hugely funny, even with Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson at their light-hearted best. But it grows on you, especially when the love pangs of Robin Williams (as Teddy Roosevelt) and Stiller come in to play. The clueless father earns worthy respect from his son after a rollicking chase through Central Park in the snow and all ends well. Silly but diverting, it made me (and the thirteen-year old whom I took) want to visit that museum. John Campbell

Australian coffee producers have done themselves proud, particularly in the espresso class of the Sydney Royal Coffee Competition. Part of the Sydney Royal Fine Food Show, the competition seeks to award excellence in Australian coffee production, and according to the results we have some fierce contenders in the global coffee industry. Organised by the Royal Agricultural Society of NSW (RAS), the Sydney Royal Coffee Competition was held on Monday February 26 and Tuesday 27 – 2007 was an impressive year with a jump in entry numbers. Over two days, 15 judges assessed 207 entries from 57 producers across Australia. High Trees Estate was the only company to take out a Champion award. The NSW company from Alstonville won gold for their Rainforest Single Origin espresso. High Trees Estate also won two silver medals and a bronze, resulting in a medal win for each of their four entries. Global Coffee Solutions (Fairy Meadow NSW) was the only other company to win gold for its Lazumba Latino blend.

‘Overall, the Sydney Royal Coffee Competition produced one champion, two gold, 19 silver and 45 bronze medals which is a fantastic result,’ said Fine Food Committee Chair Lyndey Milan. ‘Australian coffee producers have put in a tremendous effort, and the results are testament to this.

Zentveld’s Australian Coffee won gold for their exclusive dark chocolate espressobeans. The silver was awarded to Zentveld’s pure milk chocolate espressobeans. This is following on from the awarding of silver and bronze medals in 2006.

‘The judges were extremely impressed with the espresso class in 2007,’ said Chairman of Judges, Grahame Latham AM. ‘The standard improved greatly from previous years, with many espresso entrants paying closer attention to roasting detail and flavour profiles.’

‘We always aim to encourage and reward Australian coffee producers. The Sydney Royal Coffee Competition allows exhibitors to benchmark Australian grown coffee against imported beans, recognising Australia’s coffee producers as amongst the best in the world.’

The pretty little village of Uki does not have its own restaurant – but it does have Chef Baz. The first time he was brought to my attention was when a flyer landed on my desk at work advertising vegetarian cooking classes. I thought no more about it until a friend recently described with rapture a dinner party she had attended at his home. She told me that these events are held most Saturday nights for up to ten people; curiosity piqued, I contacted the chef in question. Barry and Meg Forrester meet me in a cafĂŠ in Byron Bay; it takes them a long time to order lunch because they both have strong opinions about food and besides Meg is, by her own admission, very choosey. ‘I won’t be inviting you to any of my dinner parties!’ I joke, and fortunately she laughs. She is Baz’s partner not only in life, as they say, but also in business. They met at the Miami Organic Markets on the Gold Coast where, after an extraordinary career crossing many continents, Baz was running a couple of restaurants. Together they came down from the Tallebudgera Valley in October of last year, found and settled in to the house at Uki and began running retreats complemented by cooking classes. Baz was born in New Zealand and, after completing an apprenticeship in Australia, plunged into jobs in pizza bars on Californian beaches, Canadian guesthouses in the Rockies, English countryside pubs and Austrian alpine pensions, Danish fishing boats and a thousand-acre farm in Japan, a restaurant in Seattle, an historic B&B on a remote island off the coast of Canada (where he learned the traditional American Indian method of hand-catching wild Alaskan salmon and created menus out of the local asparagus, raspberries and wild deer). There are so many stories in Baz, and so many achievements, and yet there is nothing self-promoting or boastful about this natural raconteur; on the contrary I find him amusing, charming, and self-deprecating. The self-deprecation becomes evident when he tells me that, to be sure, he has written a book about his adventures but he is not remotely bothered if it is never published: ‘if it is it is’, he says with enviable, graceful detachment. Selfdeprecation is even more eloquently expressed through the life he now leads, specifically these Saturday night dinner parties for small groups of strangers, born out of the desire he and Meg felt when they first moved to the area to meet other people. The dining component of the retreats they were running had become so completely satisfying that they decided to concentrate on that instead, and to serve glamorous, organic, vegetarian meals in the spectacular setting of their Queenslander with its 360 degree view out to mountains and beyond. They charge a modest fee – $50 for five courses – so it is barely and rarely profitable – ‘it’s a love thing’, inserts Meg, who I already see as the gracious warm hostess for these evenings, ensuring their smooth flow as Baz twirls around the kitchen creating divine dishes out of mostly vegetables. I am entranced by this concept – I am so looking forward to a Saturday night I have free in order to drive up to Uki and be one of the lucky guests. Baz makes practically everything himself – the whey he strains from his homemade cheese he uses as a starter for the sourdough bread he produces. Good-hearted neighbours allow Baz and Meg to plunder their vegetable gardens of mostly organic produce: the eggplant and the chilli and the okra, the salad greens and the garlic and the pomegranates and the figs. The dinners are based on and inspired by these rich, local, seasonal sources, and continually evolve, so that they are never the same. Baz believes that it is the responsibility of the chef to provide nutrition to diners, clean good food – to find somehow a balance between the whole sensuality of food, the textures and colours and flavours, and careful, correct nourishment: this is his mission. For more information about the dinners and cooking classes call 6679 4143.

There is something rather magical about strings. There’s an incredible buoyancy that lifts out of the music and a lyricism that translates across language. Ten years ago Fourplay took up a rather unique strategy, they applied their classical strings training to rock music. The end result is unexpectedly good. The atypical musical recipe transcribing some of the most challenging musical arrangements. The latest album – Now to the Future features eight original songs alongside some innovative covers. Shenton Gregory from the band had a quick chat. ‘We basically launched the new album at the end of June last year and we recorded it with a producer who’s worked a lot in the industry – a guy called Magoo – he’s more famous for working with acts like Regurgitator. We employed a rock producer to produce a rock classic album, the idea was to approach it with that in mind. ‘We spent 10 days in Tasmania writing the next album and coming up with the next generation of covers. Our newest weapon of choice is from Rage against the Machine... Lara is a beautiful vocalist and you don’t see that a lot with a string quartet, often you have a guest singer with a quartet.’

www.echo.net.au

So just what are the new songs that Fourplay have decided to cover? ‘On the album there is a cover of a Radio Head song, we were meaning to do it for years and finally found a piece we really liked: ‘2 plus 2 = 5. Our radio audience is incredibly varied and is split between ABC Radio National and Triple J and within that you have a huge cross section of an audience. We just did a show at the Opera House – we had 3 nights and broke it up with two concerts on each night, breaking up the genre, it was tough, two big shows after each other and two different genre shows.’ Shenton came prepared for such a demanding performance schedule. ‘I changed my shoes, everyone else brought extra shirts.’ When translating rock to strings, Fourplay stick very strictly to the format and construction of the original. ‘When it comes to any cover that’s written by anyone else – the law is that you can cover a piece of music as long as you do it as it was written, you can’t mess with it.’ This morning when I was playing the Fourplay CD, fellow Echo writer John Campbell leaned over and shared a little of his own

material. The Kronos Quartet who have a definite string Bollywood feel. I wonder if something of the Kronos hasn’t informed some of the Fourplay material, particularly in their original works. Their latest original material is cross dressed in genres. ‘There is one song that is a mixture of tango jazz swing and klezmer – and we call that swaz tango... we can cross a lot of different genres – the string quartet is not subjected to any pigeon hole of music, as long as it works, we tend to have a fairly argumentative process. RadioHead was eerie, we had a listen then had a bit of a play and in an hour it was done. We have tried to do things like Hendrix pieces, something within the music doesn’t work or string quartet can’t do.’ ‘That was the risk in the Killing in the Name of Peace (Rage Against the Machine), in the end it did work. We had people at the St Kilda Festival getting up off their bums and giving us a stumbling ovation the other day just for attempting it!’ Wow, people in St Kilda actually standing up and showing emotion. Top score for bowling out the cool school. KU PROMOTIONS PRESENTS FOURPLAY AT THE BANGALOW CATHOLIC HALL ON FRIDAY AT 8PM. TIX ARE $20 AT THE DOOR. Best strategies for handling this week: Treat all delays as opportunities. Use setbacks as rest breaks. Find something to appreciate in everyone you meet. Have a great week… ARIES: Devoting yourself single-mindedly to one thing and blocking everything else out can’t help but result in a one track personality. If personal dreams, postponed plans or adventurous enterprises tug at your attention this week, it’s time to follow their lead. TAURUS: Direct questions won’t necessarily get straightforward answers right now. If this seems frustratingly evasive, well, confusing ambiguities are this week’s flavour. The answer you want is right there inside you – at a deeper level, where perhaps you haven’t looked. GEMINI: Though present circumstances have been pressing your Getting Restless button – leaning on it hard, in fact – as Mercury moves out of retrograde, this week’s likely to come up with something delightful you hadn’t anticipated to change your mind. CANCER: Your instincts are sound this week so listen to your intuition even if it goes against what seems logical. And with people about to be more understanding and affectionate than they have been lately, a smart Crab won’t be knocking back friendly overtures…

LEO: The Sun in watery Pisces and Venus in fiery Aries gives this week a steamy emotional edge – and interesting interpersonal possibilities. It could make you passionately creative, volcanically dramatic or draw you into heated scenes – your choice. VIRGO: Virgos have precise aesthetics which they project on to the world. This week you may have to realise – yet again – that this is your own internal picture which no one else can provide for you. Your providing it for them could make this a wonderfully rewarding week. LIBRA: During this not entirely drama free week, trying to do too many things is likely to confuse issues and throw arrangements into a twist. So cull commitments, keep things simple and bear in mind the old surfing mantra: If it swells, ride it... SCORPIO: Harmony’s number one item on the present agenda so downplay blame, niggling and arguing – upgrade understanding and support. Make peace with your own and other people’s shortcomings, set definite goals and this week’s power surge will give you the assistance you need. SAGITTARIUS: Some people might be having a cranky time during this passionate casserole of a week, but I don’t see Sagittarians among them. You’re much more likely to be feeling splendiferously frisky, buoyant and bold right now due to Jupiter’s benefic influence.

CAPRICORN: Reason and logic aren’t featuring prominently this week and emotions could go OTT. If you don’t know the right questions to ask – and we don’t always – being observant is the second smartest policy. This is the transit of amazing realisations. AQUARIUS: No doubt about that red devil Mars, it does love to stir the pot and toss you right in. For various reasons, people won’t react well to pressure or criticism this week which has a surprise or two up its sleeve – a mixed bunch, but mostly pleasant. PISCES: This week’s Piscean birthday genius Michelangelo’s an appropriate role model for translating your ideas into reality. Not by struggling to overcome the mundane, but by finding the sublime in it – looking for the extraordinary in ordinary, everyday life.

Dharma and globalisation

New team at Bruns chamber

Community radio station Bay FM and Kindred magazine present Dharma, Gaia and Globalisation: spirit and community in an age of crisis, an evening of dialogue about earth, spirit, passion and community. On Thursday March 15 join Helena Norberg-Hodge, director of the International Society of Ecology and Culture, in conversation with Catherine Ingram, internationally acclaimed dharma teacher, as they explore a world where spirituality and engaged social action come together. ‘The crises that we face, particularly those of climate change and peak oil, have the potential to force us toward localisation and community and therefore greater well-being,’ says Helena Norberg-Hodge. Community action and sustainable strategies are not the only thing we need to survive these times, says Catherine Ingram on her recent visit to this area from California. ‘We need to be calm and

Friday nights to support young people. Byron Bay is a town which attracts close to two million visitors a year and the streets of Byron Bay are seen as the place of excitement and entertainment not just for the visitors but for the locals, including young people, said Mayor Jan Barham. At times this has led to conflict and some young people have been vulnerable to high-risk activities including drug and alcohol use, violence and sexual activity. Council’s Community Safety Plan is endorsed by the NSW Attorney General Department and is the basis on which the grant has been achieved. Council is eligible to apply for $50,000 per year for the duration of the plan to implement key strategies. Funded projects over the last year have included the recently launched Safe Party Kits and the Expect Respect street banners that were created in partnership with the local high schools and displayed over the summer period. The street banners came about as a result of the Expect Respect program operating in local high schools. In 2005 grant funding was achieved under the program and a successful poster campaign was conducted known as sex without consent is a crime. Posters were displayed in licensed premises where the message raised the issue of alcohol and drug facilitated sexual assault.

News Extra Billiards club snookered Stillness retreat BYS offers business ‘This changed my life path Simon, a professional support for young parents by expansion plans and is the best value in town. mediator and community Hans Lovejoy ‘Monday a week ago I resigned,’ says Tony Hill, former director of the Byron Bay Services Club. Mr Hill handed in a letter of resignation because he doesn’t think the board is acting in the best interest of the services and snooker club members. For over 20 years the club has been running regular snooker and billiards competitions, according to Mr Hill, but the tables will soon be removed for renovations, making more room for functions. Mr Hill said the reaction of the board to his resignation was one of surprise as they didn’t think there would be a backlash over this. ‘There is no financial justification for their decision,’ said Mr Hill. ‘I put forward my own figures which pointed to no financial gain for this.’ ‘It’s a great loss of a social recreational activity for the people of Byron Bay,’ said Jurgen Barrow, President of the Byron Bay Services Billiards and Snooker Club. ‘Originally we were told the tables were being moved to another area but in the final

development plans there was no room left for them.’ The club’s expansion and redevelopment does not include the snooker and billiard tables because there is simply no room for them, according to David Green, secretary manager of the Services Club. ‘The board of directors would like to have the tables, but there just isn’t space,’ Mr Green told The Echo. The next stage of the club’s development incorporates an outside deck area, an inside lounge area and internal function rooms with movable operable walls, according to Mr Green. ‘There’s a new cold room, freezer and liquor store, and as soon as the council DA is approved, we will be starting stage four of development.’ ‘The club has expanded and membership has steadily grown – we now have membership of over 3,500. I’ve been instructed by the board that the tables be dismantled and put in storage. The floor space that the tables occupy is needed for functions.’ Anyone wishing to support the Billiards and Snooker Club can call Jurgen 6685 5081 or 0412 900 545.

Bangalow chamber complains to Minister about station disrepair The Bangalow Chamber of Commerce has written a letter of complaint to the Minister for Transport, John Watkins, regarding the dilapidated state of the Bangalow railway station. Michael Malloy, President of the Bangalow Chamber of Commerce, said, ‘These buildings apparently have some “heritage� value, although the disgusting state that they have deteriorated into calls such a status into question. Even if the rail service was to resume it is doubtful that the main building would be operable.’

The letter to Mr Watkins outlines the ‘damaged, vandalised and graffitied state of the railway buildings which are a blot on our heritage village’. In addition to the aesthetic issues surrounding the state of the station, Mr Malloy points out that there are major public safety issues involved that need urgent attention. The Chamber of Commerce believes the Minister has an obligation to repair, maintain and secure the buildings and platform of the station.

worker, adds, ‘We are very aware that the old habits of thinking and doing, individually and collectively, are now threatening humanity’s wellbeing. The climate change crisis is only one of many indicators of this. It’s easy to feel despairing, and start to close down.’ ‘Despair is “held� energy which can be released and transformed into the strengths of love, compassion, joy and courage.’ Bobbi and Simon will be leading a week long retreat over Easter in Ballina from April 7 to 14. The retreats are run at cost with a donation for the work of the teachers. For further details contact Simon Clough on 6624 2894 or see www.stillnessinaction. net.au.

Young parents are invited to attend a series of workshops that Byron Youth Service is offering as part of its enterprise program. The workshops will enable young parents to gather information and ideas on creating selfemployment or a small home-based business. Five local businesses will be telling their stories and sharing their experiences of starting out, including food businesses, internet-based businesses and crafty market stall businesses. The workshops will be relaxed and informal with plenty of chance to ask ques-

tions and interact with people who know the challenges and benefits of juggling kids and a business idea. The workshops will be held at the Byron Youth Activity Centre on three consecutive Mondays – March 19 and 26, and April 2. A healthy lunch will be provided and supervised on-site childcare will be available. The workshops are free for all parents under 25 years of age. Call Di on 6685 7777 for more information.

According to the donald has said. ‘This review will get to the study, 15 of the 40 most disadvantaged communities in bottom of concerns that NSW are located on the there are discrepancies in the north coast, including Iluka, current rating structure Tweed Heads, Bonalbo, administered by the state Casino and Woodenbong in government,’ Mr Macdonald said. the Northern Rivers. ‘I want to stress right from Northern Rivers Social Development Council presi- the start that this will be an dent Jenny Dowell welcomed all encompassing review of the report as call to action for the whole rate structure and the ultimate goal is ensuring all levels of government. ‘What this shows is that fairness prevails for all RLPB the benefits of more than a ratepayers. I recognise the decade of economic growth important work boards and have not been shared equally their staff conduct across across our community,’ Ms NSW. This review is not on the RLPB system, but to Dowell said.

North coast disadvantaged A major new study mapping levels of social disadvantage across Australia shows continuing high levels of disadvantage on the North Coast. Dropping Off The Edge is the most comprehensive national study of its kind and is the third in a series of reports written by the University of Sydney’s Professor Tony Vinson. The study compares postcode areas in NSW across a range of social indicators including educational achievement, income, unemployment, crime statistics and child protection

It’s a rare opportunity to look inward in order to act with strength and purpose outward,‘ said Colin George, director of the Fatherhood Festival and Project. The Stillness in Action retreats were created seven years ago by local Buddhists, Bobbi Allan and Simon Clough, and have been held several times a year, locally and in Sydney and Melbourne. ‘They offer a space for personal reflection on what’s most valuable and important in one’s life,’ said Bobbi, who teaches meditation on the retreat. ‘People learn to quieten their minds, let go of fears, doubts and other stressors, and free up their most intelligent and creative thinking.’

ensure the rating structure itself is fair.’ Minister Macdonald said the review will: assess the effectiveness of the current RLPB rating structure; analyse equity between ratepayers and how rates are calculated; examine alternative rating structures; and investigate standardised minimal rating arrangements across all boards. ‘Smaller ratepayers may benefit from the services of their local RLPB but the extent of these benefits is unclear, particularly when the need for services such as pest animal control may become less obvious when control programs are working well.’ Mr Macdonald said former National Party MP Richard Bull will head the review and brings a solid understanding of rural issues to the role.

Volunteers needed for raffle The Friends of Byron Youth Service will once again be raising much needed financial assistance at this year’s Blues and Roots Festival. As usual, a magnificent surfboard, signed by all the top acts, will be raffled. ‘We have learnt from previous experience that this is best carried out in two 2.5

hour shifts,’ say the Friends. ‘To do this we need lots of extra volunteers. ‘If you have an outgoing personality, love the Blues Festival and can spare a day or two to help this cause, please ring Paul Spooner at the YAC on 6685 7777 or send an expression of interest to info@bys.org.au.’

Tweed Range road closures To reduce risk to visitors, parts of the Tweed Range Scenic Drive in Border Ranges National Park will be closed Monday to Friday for two weeks from March 5 for the erection of a road safety barrier. National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) Area Manager, Amanda Bryant, said while the barrier was being installed the road between the Pinnacle Lookout and the park boundary

near Barkers Vale would be closed March 5-9 and 1216. ‘Visitors will not be able to access the national park from the Murwillumbah side throughout this period. The two camping areas at Sheepstation Creek and Forest Tops and other picnic areas will still be accessible from the Kyogle side.’ Further information may be obtained from NPWS Kyogle on 6632 0000.

Where there’s a will there’s a wave Members of Byron Bay’s Freeriders Cycling Club have extended an invitation to members of the local community who are interested in cycle racing to join them at the Byron Bay Industrial Estate. The club, formed in 2003, has received approval from Council to close roads in the Industrial Estate on specific Sunday mornings in order to safely conduct criterium circuit racing. The club has recently had four of its members attend RTA accredited traffic control courses to properly mon-

itor intersections and ensure the safety of members. ‘As well as Council, we are very grateful to all of the business owners and others who are very tolerant and patient when we close the roads for two hours on our race days.’ Sponsored by Julians CafĂŠ and Free To Ride Cycles, the club has over 50 members across four fitness grades and its next criterium will be held on Sunday, March 11. Marshalling starts at 6am in the car park beside Free To Ride Cycles. For those wanting to compete, day licences for non-club members are avail-

able for $30.00. The club is also investigating the possibility of obtaining approval to run an open road race over the winter months. For any keen cyclists who would like to join in on the club’s solid-paced training rides, feel free to meet at the clock tower in Jonson Street at 6am on Tuesdays and Thursdays. For more information, drop into Free To Ride Cycles on Centennial Drive in the Arts and Industrial Estate, phone Tony Clarke, 0412 693 073 or go to www.freetoride.com.au

Byron Bay’s Danny Wills was in outstanding form at the Quiksilver Pro at Snapper Rocks on the Gold Coast last weekend. Seen here on his way to winning his second round heat over fellow Australian Adrian Buchan. Danny posted two strong rides to easily defeat Buchan and progress to the next round of the $3000,000 tournament. This is the first event in the Association of Surfing Men’s Foster’s World Tour, with the US’s Kelly Slater as defending champion. Photo by Steve Robertson

Ugly duckling’s corner Surfing Life held its own Oscars last Friday at the Gold Coast. The usual glittering prizes for the usual line up of sponsor-contracted royalty – Taj, Layne, Kelly, Andy, Chelsea. But this year a unique award for (wait for it) ‘most underrated surfer.’ Does that mean the best surfer whom everybody else thinks is hopeless? Winner’s name withheld.

Ruck and maul Byron Bay Rugby Union is holding its sign on day this Saturday, March 10. All players, both men’s and women’s, as well as supporters and sponsors are invited. Drinks and a BBQ are being provided, with beach footy too. Afterwards a session at the Rails to watch the Super 14 games for the evening.

Sports Roundup with John Campbell A fire within at service of firefighters Budgie smuggler goes for a stretch John Campbell Rachel McKenzie is a young lady on the run. Hailing from New Zealand but now married to a local and living in Byron, she is studying for a degree through the Institute of Sports Medicine at the Children’s Hospital at Westmead and, in conjunction with that, is employed as a hospital scientist at Lismore. She also works as a personal trainer at the Bay, co-ordinates

a women-only outdoor exercise group at Suffolk Park and, just for fun, finds time to play in the Byron women’s premier soccer team. Rather than let an idle moment slip by, Rachel also likes to train for long distance races. She ran her first marathon in 2003 when living in Lon-

don. It was on and she thought she might as well have a crack at it. Since then she has been a regular competitor at similar events in New Zealand, the Gold Coast and, last year, the Brisbane Marathon. At thirty, Rachel is reaching her physical peak for such races, but still presents as a slip of a girl with a sweet smile and an unassuming manner that convincingly disguises the

steely resolve essential to reach her goals. ‘The mental challenge is the toughest part,’ she admits. ‘It’s just awesome when you finish.’ My legs were going to jelly just thinking of it. Rachel’s are tanned and sculpted and looked ready to carry her through the sternest chal-

lenge. Which is what Rachel is banking on, for this weekend she will be competing in what is generally considered to be Australia’s toughest ultra-marathon. Three kilometres longer than the standard forty-two, the race is entirely off-road, covering the arduous journey from Katoomba to the Jenolan Caves in the Blue Mountains. And she’s got some form too. In January she came fifth after a lung-busting race in New Zealand that took in a not very accommodating mountain range. ‘It felt like we were running uphill all the way,’ she said with staggering good humour. When I asked her why she put herself through what most of us would regard as an ordeal, she just shrugged her shoulders, as though the answer should be obvious to anybody who has set themselves a target. ‘For the sense of achievement.’ It’s as simple as that. She is hoping that her efforts might attract sponsorship, with all proceeds raised going to the NSW Rural Volunteer Fire Service. Champions like Rachel deserve as much support as we can give them, so any benefactors out there should give her a call - before she heads south - on 0419 260 404

Enhancing the Shire’s reputation for original poses, a member of the Byron Bay surfboat crew strikes a fine balance between supporting the craft and walking on water at the 2007 Wetpac NSW Masters Surf Life Saving Championships at Sutherland Shire. Photo by Harvie Allison

The 360 people who managed to get tickets to Tony Narracott’s Awakening will be gratified to learn not only did they experience an incredible fun-packed night, with great food and music, but also their generosity put $5,895 into the Byron Youth Service coffers. The spontaneous auctioning of Tony’s old rugby shirts helped by adding $1,300. Lois Hall from Ginger Nectar put in the biggest bid of the night, securing a historic West Berlin Golden Oldies shirt for $500. Ed Ahern from Green Garage also bought a rare shirt from the Patagonian Rugby team (the world’s most southerly), a steal at $400. The golf club had its biggest night ever, Tony is still with us. Everyone won. ■■■■Another busy session for Byron Shire Council last Thursday, the public gallery alive with petitioners for community grants on offer, and of course not everyone could be satisfied. Also remarkable is that Cr Ross Tucker lost his way in the agenda and began speaking

on the wrong topic – probably the first time we’ve seen it in the almost 16 years Cr Tucker has been in office. ■■■■And later in the meeting Cr Tucker got a bit stroppy during debate over the Brunswick Heads skate park and Peter Westheimer called a point of order objecting to Cr Tucker’s demeanour, which really isn’t a point of order at all, followed by mayor Jan Barham’s hurried call for a break, technically known as an adjournment, which went for nine minutes. When dealing with an old hand like Cr Tucker, councillors should really know the technical basis for calling a point of order before trying one on; in any case the storm would have blown over in a couple of minutes had everyone just stared at the ceiling instead of getting upset. ■■■■Councillors seem reluctant to release to the public the details of the options canvassed at the holiday letting forums in 05/06, the mayor losing a vote 7-3 when seeking to do so. In any case she

will call a public meeting to look at the options and consider the concept of precincts in which holiday letting would be allowed. In the meantime you can download from Council’s website the agenda for March 1 and see in Annexure 17 the options considered at a March 2005 forum. Precincts got the most votes among the the participants – 9 for, 3 abstain, 2 against. ■■■■Our description of the MEAD group in last week’s Backlash didn’t please them at all. They report: ‘We are a live steel full combat group of Dark Age re-creationists, not rehearsing choreographed sword fights. It’s real axes being swung at your head and these combatants train to do so safely, like a martial art.’ Our apologies for stuffing up, especially to people who use real axes.
