Byron blues festival a template for new events Mandy Nolan This year sees the Bluesfest reach voting age. After 18 years this festival has grown from an embryonic event at the Piggery where it was first conceived and nurtured into being. It’s changed parents, moved house, and is to become a parent itself. In a quick chat with Peter Noble, Festival and Artistic Director for this Pollster nominated ‘World’s Best Festival’ held in the humble surrounds of a seaside footy ground, he credited the Bluesfest as the mothership for a host of new events. ‘There’s the Nippean Music Festival, down near Torquay, featuring Ben Harper, John Mayer... there’s 46 road dates, we have programmed The Great Escape and the Great Southern Roots Festival and we are about to put on the West Coast Blues Festival [now in its fourth year]. May 1 we are putting on an International Blues Festival in Johannesburg with versions of the Bluesfest lineup. ‘Byron is the mothership to all the other events – they are nowhere near the level of Bluesfest. It’s like the mothership in Star Wars, with everything else growing around it. We have 121 different performances, and a large degree of that is the highest degree of talent. You can’t just take them to Byron. You have to establish circuits for them. It’s all part of our plan.’ So why has Bluesfest become the programming template for events all over the country? Peter is keen to endorse the Festival as an event of

Simeon Michaels is home but the fight for the forests is far from over

Tessa Hoffman Imagine if someone came to Byron Bay and wanted to build a pulp mill. Imagine if they had oodles of money and immense lobbying power. And imagine if the state government was willing to do anything, even change laws, in order to back them. Wouldn’t you want other Australians to stick up for you? This is the question Simeon Michaels is posing to our community, now that Gunns’ proposed Tamar Valley pulp mill looks one step closer to being built. Blues festival director Peter Noble.

vide, Simeon believes that the mill would be an economic as well as environmental disaster. Simeon set off from Sydney on January 2 kayaking 2,000km to Hobart to raise awareness and funds for a campaign, run in conjunction with Launceston Environment Centre, to present more sustainable alternatives to Gunns’ proposed pulp mill. The trip captured national media interest and was covered widely in Tasmania. He believes this has helped break the stranglehold that propulp mill advocates had on the Tasmania media. Simeon returned to Byron Bay last Monday after his

trip. While happy with his contribution, he says there is still much to do. Now that the Tasmanian Parliament has given the process the green light, Simeon said the next stop is the federal government. The mill requires Malcolm Turnbull’s signature to proceed. ‘History has proved that issues such as this can be stopped at a Federal level, just take the Franklin,’ he said. ‘If you want to help the campaign, get onto my website and find out what you can do.’ You can find Simeon’s website at www.paddlewithsim.com and contact him on simeon.michaels@bigpond. com.

This Easter the ďŹ rst annual Byron Bay Easter Charity Rafe will be held, with this year’s beneďŹ ciary the Byron Bay Surf Life Saving Club. Organisers Damien Antico and Dave Challis came up with the idea of a charity rafe as a way of bringing back some of the community spirit they feel is draining from the rapidly changing town of Byron. Damien Antico said, ‘Essentially Byron is a small coastal community in Australia that is growing quickly. Hopefully it will remain unique, but we thought a concept, where the whole community gets behind an annual cause to give something back, could restore the town spirit we enjoyed in the past.’ The funds from this year’s rafe will be used to purchase a new surf rescue rubber ducky and new surf boat for the SLSC. The ongoing aim is to raise funds for a

new worthwhile local beneďŹ ciary each year. ‘Next year we’d like to start organising earlier, with the new hospital as our focus.’ All of the 22 businesses canvassed for prize donations said yes to participating in the inaugural rafe. Prizes donated are generous and diverse. First prize is seven nights bed and breakfast accommodation together with a degustation feast and some spa treatments at Byron at Byron. Five nights bed and breakfast at the Byron at Byron is second prize and third prize is two nights in one of the penthouses at Rae’s. There are also many more prizes on offer. Two thousand tickets are on sale for $20 and can be purchased at the Rails from 4pm to 5pm on Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoons.

We will be installing wind and solar power, we will have biodiesel, we will be the best, and we will have the same motives through the whole festival.’ When pressed on future plans for festival relocation Noble was noncommital. ‘I have no plans right here this moment to do anything other than what I am doing right now.’ There’s still a slim chance of obtaining a ticket. According to Peter there’s still some Thursday tickets left. As for daily admission, there may be a small ticket release. ‘It’s like this – artists get an allocation of complimentary tickets, we ďŹ nd out if they have taken up that allocation, if they haven’t we might be selling a very small amount of day tickets, but can’t guarantee it.

The Refugee All Stars are a story of human triumph, Ayo is going to be the next Sade or Tracy Chapman, Ronan Shaw is going to be the next big thing. Vanessa Amarossi is a don’t miss event, so is Normie Rowe – he’s one of the best singers ever. And there’s people like Sara Tindley from Billinudgel – I wouldn’t miss her. We have Troy and Trevallan Banawarun who won the Deadly Award and Kev Carmody on the main stage. I want to see him get his dues.’ Bluesfest is at Red Devils Park, running Thursday through to Monday.

Tsunami warning for locals A tsunami which caused death and destruction in the Solomon Islands last Monday also resulted in the evacuation of local beaches. Fortunately there were no local consequences from the tsunami, generated by an 8.1 underwater earthquake off the Solomons. Surf Life Saving NSW followed advice from the State Emergency Service to close NSW beaches until the possible threat has eased. Swimmers and board riders were advised not to take to NSW beaches until fur ther notice. Experts estimated the tsunami would roll into the north Queensland coast at between ten and 20 centimetres in height.

Apparently Ocean Shores lookout was full of people waiting for the tsunami to roll in. Greens MLC and keen surfer Ian Cohen, who survived the Boxing Day tsunami in Sri Lanka, praised emergency services and Surf Lifesaving for their ‘reassuring response’ to the tsunami warning. ‘I am pleased not only with the effectiveness of the warning system but also with the way that agencies have worked together to disseminate information,’ Mr Cohen said. ‘My heartfelt sympathy goes out to those whose family members are missing‌ as well as those who have lost their homes.’

Moi and her husband Christian Nott were among the thousands who lost their lives when the Boxing Day tsunami struck Phuket in 2005. Parachute instructor Daniel Llewellyn made the tandam jump with Joy and told The Echo he was honoured to be asked to do the jump with her. ‘We’re all very close friends, and it was a fitting way to farewell Moi and Christian.’ Aerial ‘burials’ are being offered by the Gold Coast Skydive Centre – 07 5599 1920.

Whale watching season is under way Three humpback whales migrating past Cape Byron last Wednesday marked the start this year’s whalewatching season. National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) Byron Coast Area Manager Sue Walker said each year local residents and visitors are privileged to observe what is one of nature’s great spectacles, as whales migrate along the coast. ‘During their migration whales can come quite close to the coastline. ‘Land-based whale watching is safe and easy for all to enjoy.

‘Having left the cold water feeding grounds in Antarctic waters they are returning to warmer waters to calve and mate. ‘The two species most commonly seen are Humpback and Southern right whales. ‘Humpback whales are travelling north and are often seen in groups or “pod� of three or four. Passing along the NSW coast they are on their way to breeding grounds off the Queensland coast in the Coral Sea. ‘Southern right whales, have also been reported off

the north coast in recent seasons and may be seen in the same general area for a few hours or even days. This was the case last year when a female southern right whale and her newborn calf spent a the day a few hundred metres offshore near the wreck on Belongil Beach. ‘During these time it is especially important for people to remember to give these massive animals plenty of space. ‘The NPWS is the agency responsible for protecting whales in NSW waters. Whale watching is becom-

ing a popular activity, and if done responsibly and sensibly can be a rewarding experience. ‘Due consideration needs to be extended by all people approaching in boats or any other craft. ‘This is especially important in the case of the adults with calves, which may be either resting or suckling. Research has shown that whales can be highly sensitive to engine noises.’ For further information about whales and the marine mammal approach regulations visit www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au.

Story & Lou Beaumont The Byron Youth Service is in need of some community support in the form of second hand anything. Mullum BYS headquarters, Widows Cottage, is sorely needing some things big and small to help make it a decent place for our kids to live, learn and socialise in. The BYS program Youthlinx is run out of the cottage in Gordon Street, Mullumbimby, and there are three groups of young people who attend each week during school term, referred by Mullumbimby High School. Currently there are two young women’s groups and one young men’s group and every alternate Saturday up to thirty young males come for the day to play in card tournaments. Groups are structured around a discussion group, usually linked to a theme that relates to the ideas raised by the participants, for example the recent rape charges of their peers. After venting their opinions and feelings on the matter of discussion, the group has lunch together, followed by an activity. These activities are designed to assist participants in gaining skills in effective communica-

tion, managing emotions appropriately, team building, conflict resolution, information sharing and making positive choices in their lives. All the young people referred have experienced difficulties in some way in fitting into the school system and some are experiencing extreme difficulty either at home or in their personal lives. The ‘Sped’ groups (nicknamed by the kids who attend) operate as a safe place to talk about relevant issues in a confidential setting. BYS Youth Worker, Deb Pearse, says, ‘It’s also a place to have fun, to learn new skills, to learn compassion and support for one another and how and where to access help when they need to. The program uses interactive learning tools such as photo language cards, arts and crafts, group discussions, film, cooking and skills based activities. Activity programs have included a focus on enterprise education, along with quality vocational education, giving young people valuable skills and knowledge for creating opportunities for the future. Some of the group activities have included a snorkeling trip donated by Byron Dive

Centre, a surf clinic, wildlife outing, tenpin bowling and the movies. Most of the young people stay with ‘Sped’ for at least a school year and much progress is made in that time in how they relate in the world. Without exception shifts in awareness and functionality are made – some huge, others small, but all valuable. BYS needs help from the community to keep this vital youth service running at full capacity and benefit. Funding is always short and the cottage badly needs some care. Primarily the house needs a couch that isn’t falling to bits, kitchen utensils and cooking implements, chairs, computers in working order and anything anyone can donate that will make the cottage a more inviting place for young people to hang out. No donations will go to waste; what the kids can’t use will be re-donated to local charities. Youthlinx is funded by FaCSIA and is a part of Byron Youth Service. If you have any donations to make, either resources or time to volunteer to work with young people in a mentoring or support capacity, please call Deb Pearse on 6680 9029 or 0403 613 229.

Local News Crowd learns of Yelgun festival plans

A large crowd turned out for a meeting last week organised by the Ocean Shores Community Association and the Yelgun Progress Association to discuss the proposed festival site at Yelgun. Most of those who spoke were against the proposal. Byron Shire Councillors Tucker, Mangleson, Woods, Lazarus and Tabart turned up, as did Ballina MP Don Page.

According to a presentation by the YPAThe OSCA meeting on Monday April 30 at 7.30pm will invite the developers to once again meet the community. To ďŹ nd out more go to www.upbyron. com and click on ‘Ocean Shores’. Councillors, the developers and the community are invited to post questions, information and opinions.

Legal risk in Tallow Creek plan Environmental activist Dailan Pugh told Byron Shire Councillors last Thursday that Council would be in legal jeopardy if it adopted its Draft Tallow Creek Floodplain Risk Management Study and Plan. Mr Pugh claimed the study, prepared by consultants Sinclair Knight Merz, did not properly take into account the effects of climate change nor its impact on threatened species. Councillors subsequently resolved to refer the Study and Plan back to the Tallow Creek Floodplain Management Committee to incorporate recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change data, estuary openings and other threatening ecological processes and Aboriginal sites assessment; and comply with the NSW Government Floodplain Development Manual April 2005.

The Shed men have done it again Margo Sutton Ina and Isa Bradridge who run the Family Hope orphanage in East Timor love the Brunswick men and what they do with their sheds. As we reported in The Echo earlier this year these Bruns blokes get on their bikes once a year and spend the day cycling from shed to shed, playing games, organising competitions and demonstrations of this and that. The men have a great bonding session and raise money to help the thirty or so children who live in the orphanage and another thirty or so who live outside but whose families can’t afford food and schooling. These children are just a few of the casualties of invasion and war prior to independence in East Timor. After the March shed ride the guys raised $1200, and as a result of reading our article, the Goonengerry Landcare group also donated $1200 to the orphanage. The shed men raised money by imposing strict rules and ďŹ nes for riders. The last to leave each of the 15 sheds copped a ďŹ ne, so did any comment or indeed any suggestion about a shed, its owners or its function. Too much laughter was ďŹ ned, so was falling off your bike. At the last shed the thirsty men had a beverage and closed

the day with an egg ďŹ ght. A doctor was present, so the raw egg which landed on an eye didn’t cause much pain or lack of permanent function – just a temporary loss of face... Isa Bradridge, who has been staying in Brunswick, rode with the shed men and is enormously appreciative of local generosity. His wife Ina is back in East Timor and Isa and their three children Xyanna, Laetiticia and Ayden will join her in April. Isa is an Australian who feels that the orphanage children are as dear to him as his own. He feels passionately for their for their suffering; these children saw their families killed. Young Moisses, for instance, saw his family

killed in September 1999 and bears a huge scar on his forehead from a machete cut. He runs and packs his bag at any disturbance, ready to ee yet again. Isa went with a group of nuns to Dili ďŹ rst in 1998, met his wife there and now will return permanently, intending to make orphans his life work. ’Perhaps the orphanage will become a village one day,’ he says. ‘We need a lot of hard work and help.’ With the funds donated Isa has just bought 30 pairs of Croc-type shoes (thanks to FDB’s Ocean Shores for their help). Isa traced the outline of each kid’s foot three weeks ago. He is called Maun (big brother) in the local Tetun

language, and mourns the fact that there are still 100,000 displaced people living in tents in fear of going home, and with the present unrest, the number is growing. A couple of weeks ago the orphanage was nearly out of food, so they spent $2,855 (American dollars) on food and $675 on clothes. Now they need bed clothes and warm clothing (it gets cold at 2,000 feet) but cannot take clothing from here back on the tiny ramshackle plane Isa uses. So once again, if anyone feels like making a cash donation to the Family Hope orphanage in Gleno, East Timor, please do so at the Chalet motel, Brunswick or to Dr David Miller on 6685 0123.

The glass should be toughened wherever possible because toughened glass is like your oven door and is capable of taking 200° celsius heat before failing and is several times stronger than normal glass. StarĂ€re glass comes in a maximum length of 3302mm while green (normal) glass comes in a maximum length of 4660mm. As you can see, sometimes you need to use two panels instead of one. The next item on the agenda is size. 6mm toughened glass is used for 2mm tolerances; which means that if we want it 1000mm by 1000mm, it can come anywhere from 998mm by 998mm, or 1022mm by 1022mm, or any combination in between. These tolerances are to Australian standards, which means they are legal and proper. Very rarely does toughened glass come at exactly the measurement we want because there is

an inbuilt 2mm variation in toughened glass as a result of the heating and cooling process during manufacture. Ocean Shores Glass & Screens is owned by Peter Carrick who, over the next few months, will use the Byron Shire Echo to enlighten readers about the beneĂ€ts and variations available when you use glass splashbacks. ‘Builders, renovators and interior designers should be aware that new homes and renovations can look fantastic with glass kitchen splashbacks, which are now available in over 150,000 different colours,’ Peter said.

Comment

The fix was in for David Hicks Vol 21 #42

April 3, 2007

A new library, please The saga of building a new library for Byron Bay stretches back further than the Great Lighthouse Road Walkway Repair, now two years in the making. The library found its ‘temporary’ home in cramped quarters in Lawson Street in 1996 when Byron Shire sold off its old council chambers, which used to house the library, and moved its digs to Mullumbimby. Since then the Friends of the Library (FOL) have actively fundraised and lobbied in order to get a new library, but no luck so far. There have been countless promises that the new library will be built on the Sandhills Estate but the wheels of bureaucracy – both state and local – grind extremely slowly. Take, for instance, the task of getting a design for the library in place. Byron Shire Council announced with some optimism in August 2005 it had met with David Jones of the NSW State Library to discuss the design brief. And now, less than two years later, Council has voted to proceed with a feasibility study for the project. Unfortunately it is not for the design the Friends of the Library wanted. Councillors voted last week to get a feasibility study from consultants Stephenson and Turner for two options: B, a 1700sqm library space with underground carparking of 17 spaces and a community meeting space, part of its area dedicated to the Arakwal; and C, a 1120sqm library space with onsite car parking and a smaller meeting space. What the library advisory committee unanimously wanted, in conjunction with FOL, was option A: a 1700sqm library space, underground car parking of 39 spaces, two meeting rooms and a top floor of 11 one bedroom holiday apartments. Renting out the apartments would gradually offset the cost of the project and then bring in further revenue. It is an interesting idea which was costed out by local real estate agent Chris Hanley. It may be an unusual use of public space but public services need to be self-funding these days with so little support from various tiers of government. If the community can’t get option A, then ‘option B is a compromise and C is a short-sighted option,’ according to advisory committee member Jay Pearse. Council’s own report shows that option C will cater for population growth for only ten years out. However Councillors also resolved ‘That the consultants include in their report on Option C their recommendations to achieve the project within Council’s allocated budget of $3m’, so it looks like we might get stuck with the short term fix. What is for certain is that the current space is totally inadequate for a community which likes to use its library. It is also incongruous, to say the least, that the town which hosts the renowned Byron Bay Writers Festival doesn’t have enough space to house writers’ books, to research or to use computers comfortably. We hope construction begins well before another decade of waiting rolls around.

n the end it hardly matters whether the Australian government conspired with the Americans to fix the David Hicks case. John Howard and his ministers have behaved so deceitfully, so hypocritically and so dishonourably for so long that if they didn’t, then they probably should have. The belief that they did is perfectly justifiable and in the absence of irrefutable evidence to the contrary a great many Australian voters will continue to assume that it is true. It was only appropriate that when Hicks finally got his day in court, the whole thing was a sham and a fraud, a charade conducted apparently as much for the benefit of the military commission itself as for the edification of the general public. After the judging colonel dismissed Hicks’s civilian lawyers because they refused to accept that the judging colonel could make up any rules he liked as the case proceeded, it seemed we were in for another long delay, unacceptable to either side; and at the stage the fix went in. Hicks pleaded guilty to a vague and essentially undefined charge which did not even exist at the time he was alleged to have committed it; this allowed the prosecuting colonel to claim that he had admitted everything and should be nailed to the wall. Both in America and Australia there was much huffing and puffing about his socalled confession, a carry-on that deliberately ignored the very core of the idea of pleabargaining, which is that it is a deal, a connivance where both parties give ground in order to achieve a quick and easy compromise. To suggest that Hick’s plea was to be

taken as the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth is not just to miss the point; it is by definition arrant nonsense. By a helpful coincidence in the very same week Faye Turney, a British sailor captured under disputed circumstances by the Iranians, appeared on television to say that yes, her ship had indeed been trespassing in Iranian waters, a contention vehemently denied by the British navy. Turney was promptly sent home, and no-one has claimed either that her admission was true or that

redoubtable Major Michael Mori, asked for a more lenient 20 months. After much deliberation the sentencing colonels agreed on seven years, only to be told by the judging colonel that the secret plea-bargain deal included a custodial sentence of just nine months. Then, presumably, they all went back to doing whatever it is that colonels do, having achieved nothing except to show that the military commission system is not only monstrously unjust, but ultimately absurd.

History will forever record him as the Prime Minister who betrayed and abandoned one of his own citizens to arbitrary imprisonment… by Mungo MacCallum she should be charged with perjury for making it. It was a deal, a plea bargain for release. But we are supposed to believe that when Hicks goes through the same process he is guilty, not only as charged, but of all the other allegations John Howard, Alexander Downer, Philip Ruddock and the rest of the grubby bunch choose to peddle to their media stooges as well. From the fabricated plea, the drama of the military commission descended into farce. The prosecuting colonel argued passionately that Hicks should serve another seven years, the maximum allowable for a plea bargain (another illustration of the fakery of the process: if Hicks was really guilty as charged, under the law he faced life imprisonment). Hicks’s remaining counsel, the

Hicks will come home, if a high security Australian prison inhabited by violent criminals who believe he is a terrorist who deserves summary punishment can be described that way, and will remain incarcerated and gagged until after the federal election. Howard hopes the voters will now forgive, or at least forget. They may, but history will forever record him as the Prime Minister who betrayed and abandoned one of his own citizens to arbitrary imprisonment and maltreatment by a foreign power. A side benefit of the Hicks fiasco was that it effectively eclipsed Kevin Rudd’s much trumpeted climate change summit, at least as far as the media were concerned. But for all that, the event should be accounted a modest suc-

cess. In spite of Aquaboy Malcolm Turnbull’s wild claim that no country has done more about climate change than Australia, it confirmed that the opposition was still firmly in charge of that agenda and produced a couple of useful initiatives, the best being the promise of an Australian version of Nicholas Stern’s report on the economic effects of change. But perhaps the biggest plus was the quality of the delegates. Despite a federal government boycott and a certain amount of arm-twisting, an impressive number of business leaders turned up, including quite a few of Labor’s traditional enemies. Whether their presence was due to a real interest in the cause or simply a desire to take out insurance against a possible Labor victory, it was a good sign for Rudd in a week which did not go all his own way. A bit of a stunt, certainly, but one that worked. It is a while since the same could be said about any of Howard’s tricks. And the best political news of the week came from the reluctantly regurgitated New South Wales government of Mor r is Iemma, who announced that he was appointing an independent as speaker of the parliament. This is a genuine and long overdue reform which both major parties talk about piously while in opposition but have never actually implemented, except when forced to do so in order to prop up minority governments. Now we have a real precedent, set, astonishingly, by a son of the New South Wales Labor right. Let’s hear it for Premier Iemma, an unexpected ray of hope in a gloomy world.

Parking paradise They took paradise and turned it into a parking lot (to quote Joni Mitchell).Watego’s residents received a proposal from our eminent council to make Watego’s traffic oneway. This, they tell us, will make more space for more cars and enable Council to build a boardwalk with a viewing deck. Has it slipped their minds that the one they built a couple of years ago is still in a sad and sorry state? In the event of some inclement weather can we look forward to trafďŹ c lights at Watego’s? Perhaps with this newfound money we could also address the constant trafďŹ c jams over the defunct railway line. Hey, we could make Shirley Street one way. That would be fun. Jean Pearson

Dreaming for youth I, for one, did not feel enlightened by Nancy Jo’s suggestion (Letters, March 27) that another police station would be a positive solution to the current youth crisis. In fact it deeply saddened me to see, once again, the youth being held in the community mind as criminal. I did, however, feel inspired by her suggestion that parents, citizens and the police come together and form some sort of association that addresses youth issues in the area. An asociation that could, perhaps, draw on the creative imagination and youthful spirit that ourishes in this region.

I would most definitely vote for any politician willing to resource a diverse and creative youth culture that honours and respects the youth as a vital and intelligent sector of our community. One that resources and encourages the positive imagination of our kids. One that provides safe places for entertainment and gathering. One that creates programs where the experience and energy of adults can inspire a loving and respectful attitude to life. The list goes on as to what we could do.Very little except the maintenance of neglect

has been manageable by a few youth workers and caring individuals up until now. Once again these times are presenting us with the double face of crisis and opportunity. I imagine that with or without the politicians the love of our kids can inspire us to offer them choices that may just show them that together we are capable of creating a world that they would want their children to inherit. ‘You may say I’m a dreamer‌’

me free green power of $1.50 per week if I would sign a three year contract to change from Country Energy to Integral Energy. Web inquiries revealed that both Integral and Country Energy are owned by the NSW government. The Integral price list showed energy charges (other than the Green Power Surcharge) identical to those I am currently paying through Country Energy. I was not willing to sign my life away under a three year contract to save just $1.50 per week. But what’s going on here? We have two state government

owned corporations competing in the same region with pricing structures that are obviously collusive. In fact the Integral price list made it clear that the schedule only applied to ‘Country Energy Regions’. Could this be inefďŹ cient, illegal under Trade Practices or just plain stupid?

Posters including: ‘Happy Holidays’ (Byron Bay Police/ Byron Visitor Centre), the comprehensive ‘Surf Safety in Byron Bay’ produced by Style Surf (Style Surf also produce a daily surf condition and safety report which is faxed to various outlets). ‘Rusty’s Byron Guide’ kicks off (ďŹ rst article after the intro) with a ‘water safety tips’ double spread and there are our own in-house surf warnings. Our staff routinely warns guests of the varying dangers of beach conditions as does the staff of other backpacker hostels. Accidents will happen and sometimes a plethora of signs in high use areas will not help. Take two of our latest tragedies. A Japanese student arrives in Byron. Spends the afternoon with her friends in Sunrise, and I assume walks through the Becton tracks to the beach and is lost that same day. Prior to this, a twenty something local lad is swept away at Brunswick Heads. In their own way, both these awful events were almost impossible to prevent. But Terry should know that there are a lot of people in the Bay who take their duty of care towards visitors seriously and are working hard to promote safe beach use. James Robinson-Gale

Sleepers, awake! Byron residents have indirectly contributed to the destruction planned at Shoalwater Bay in June. By not objecting when Byron Council gave its sewage contract to Halliburton, residents are implicated in the evil this company carries out.They are

also implicated in the evil this company has undertaken in Iraq. Halliburton made 7.1 billion dollars in Iraq. This same company built the prison at Gauntanamo Bay. Byron ratepayer money has supported this company which is one of the corporations involved in the American Military Complex. If you don’t want to support Halliburton watch carefully to see that the Council never gets into bed with this company or any others like it in the future. On the subject of who the Council sleeps with, I wish to correct Councillor Tucker’s statement that not to defend the Land and Environment Court action to challenge the brothel DA would endanger ratepayers’ money. This contradicts the statement put out by the Hultgrens which says that Council would not have incurred any costs if it did not challenge the action. Instead of allowing the challenge which was based on the fact the planning department gave the wrong information to councilors, the brothel DA was incorrect and that Council’s own guidelines were in breech; by defending the action, the council has forced the Byron Entertainment Centre owners to pay not only their own costs but Council’s as well. Council has also overlooked the fact that a large number of residents do not wish the brothel to go ahead in its present location. It is a shame that because of the likelihood of spiralling costs the Hultgrens could no longer sustain their opposition to a business which will impact on theirs. It is a shame that a venue giving much to the youth of Byron when Council cannot even provide sports ďŹ elds or skate parks, has been

Law and order? Recently I had occasion to contact the Byron Bay Police by visiting the station in Byron Bay. I was there to determine who might be best able to help me only to be interviewed by the receptionist whose ďŹ rst question, after I explained my

problem, was ‘Are you working at the moment?’, as though this was a criterion on which to base her assessment of whether I was deserving of assistance. After leaving the station I walked along Jonson Street and just outside the Great Northern hotel spotted some police who were conducting enquiries into an earlier matter where someone had thrown a chair through a car window and then done a runner. Two people who witnessed the fracas and were being asked to assist the police were rewarded for their assistance by having their alcohol taken from them and poured into the gutter. These two people, who did not participate in the matter being investigated and who were being helpful, were pun-

ished for their assistance – surely a word of caution would have been better. As one of the two witnesses said, ‘Well, next time we won’t say anything and just let the crime happen.’ After all, what’s the point if the police are just going to brutalise those they ask for assistance? Jim Barnes

Ostrich behaviour Interesting week, what with Nicholas Stern in Australia, Hicks’s guilty plea and the Libs wanting to ‘help’ Asian Pacific countries to halt deforestation over ďŹ ve years for $200m.

No talk about funds to increase the efďŹ cacy of the fire brigades as the fires become bigger, hotter and more frequent (and, therefore, more polluting).

Prior to that we had Alex Downer in 1997 saying to Tom Spencer from the Institute for Environmental Security that Australia wasn’t worried about climate change because ‘we have big beaches’. And Alex, according to Tom, wasn’t joking. The Libs’ climate conversion on the road to Damascus is just another electorally driven political issue, something you manage in order to take the electoral heat out of it till it can be

What rural groups want from Council Response to Backlash, March 27: What the various rural community groups affected by the Byron Rural Settlement Strategy are reasonably asking for is to be part of the process formulating the draft revisions to the BRSS, in particular chapter 4 – the rural land release program. We are not interested in being part of this process ‘after the horse has bolted’. As a group, we have a wealth

of knowledge and ďŹ rsthand experience to offer. The value of community participation is that we experience local conditions at ground level, unlike policy makers and planners whose workplaces are removed from this reality. Groups fighting to save Byron’s hinterland from inappropriate development no longer have any conďŹ dence in so-called community consultation conducted exclusively

through public submissions; this process has proved highly unsatisfactory in the case of the BRSS – not least because of the short timeframe involved but also because it is being used by Council in an expedient way to tick off the box called ‘community consultation’. As a strategy, the BRSS recognises the value of meaningful community consultation, which it describes as community participating in

the decision making to a high level. The Mayor herself recognises that this has not happened in the implementation of the BRSS and is the main reason for so much opposition and discontent over the strategy. Past mistakes need to be acknowledged so that we can move forward and achieve satisfactory outcomes for rural residents of the shire. Nino MacDonald

Letters returned to the political backburner. Malcolm Turnbull, smooth but not as polished as Howard, suffered a credibility crisis at the hands of Tony Jones on Lateline, fumbling over ďŹ gures and gainsaying the Stern and ABARE reports and not knowing enough about either report. Why do we have politicians making decisions way outside their areas of expertise? Most pollies are lawyers, not many have had ‘proper’ jobs and science would have been an elective at high school. And they don’t trust their bureaucracies either. It really concerns me and millions of others that our politicians seem unable to break the nexus between Australian economic growth and a viable Australia on which to continue economic growth. The Libs keep bleating that Australia only contributes 1.5% of global CO2

and that doesn’t matter. They throw up loss of jobs in the face of Stern’s economic analysis (Stern’s credentials are far more impressive than the whole cabal of Libs). Why don’t we factor in how much CO2 we export with our coal? A somewhat spurious argument but it would serve to show us just what we are responsible for. The Libs are throwing millions at the coal industry for research into carbon capture and geosequestration when China and the US are far better placed to develop that technology, considering we allow our best scientists to escape to the US for want of funding. Those millions could start redeveloping solar power in Australia (our early technology has already gone to the US, China and India and is coming back value added). Currently Australians emit

more CO2 per capita than any other people in the world. Ostriches, sand and Australia no longer make good bedfellows. Veronica Guy

Local is global Mike Burless thinks my ‘appalling tirade’ against Don

Page is completely unjustified (Letters, March 27) without citing any reasons. If one thinks globally and acts locally, Don Page is revealed as a representative not only of narrow local electorate issues but also of his government’s criminal complicity in the invasion and occupation of Iraq. Why did Don not condemn the US ‘shock and awe’ bombing of Baghdad when 50% of its population are children and most of the victims were civilians? Why did he not speak out against the lies that his government used to ‘justify’ the invasion? Why was he silent on the Tampa scandal? Why has he not supported the rule of law in the David Hicks case? Why does he not publicly endorse the UK Stern Report on global warming and push for a full carbon trading regime in

Festivals are not all fun Q It is interesting that just as a vigorous debate begins on the Splendour in the Grass issues at Yelgun, the Blues Festival schemes of Peter Noble at Tyagarah are in danger of slipping under the radar. Yet Mr Noble’s schemes are likely to impinge even more on the lives of ordinary Byron Shire residents. It is not just that he proposes a once-a-year Blues Festival with maybe 50,000 people, but multiple other events throughout the year which will bring chaos to the residents of Tyagarah, Brunswick Heads and Mullumbimby. Even Byron Bay will take a huge hit from fun-loving visitors from out of the Shire. To even consider the Ti Tree plantation at Tyagarah for an events site seems quite extraordinary. The site quite regularly oods to a depth of a metre or more, and anyone who has seen photos of rows of cars at Tyagarah with their roofs barely showing above the water will scratch their heads at the idiocy of Mr Noble’s plan. When we also consider the effects on wildlife, the highway and local road access issues, and the horrendous noise pollution over a very wide area, it is clear that such an event site does not belong here. Please, Mr Noble, go elsewhere. Maybe Queensland would welcome the dis-

will at least double over that when the township hosts a festival itself. Having a festival site away from the main accommodation centre forces visitors staying in Byron to drive their cars in and out each day at least once. Moreover for events where camping occurs at the Yelgun site every car driver and their passengers will want to travel to Byron Bay at least once during their stay. Byron Bay is the place and all young festival goers will want to go there as well as to the festival. It is not unreasonable to foresee an additional 5,000 vehicles entering and exiting Byron each and every day of a 22,500 person festival at Yelgun. Traffic jams will occur at the festival site, at Byron, Brunswick Heads and along the highway. The DA for the Yelgun proposal is reported to say that a 2km feeder road at the site will solve trafďŹ c problems at the site. This is not true as anyone who has ever been to the Woodford festival knows that 10kms of feeder road are needed. But the real problem for the local population is that splitting the festival site from the main centre of accommodation and visitor appeal will make Byron Bay and the whole region a trafďŹ c disaster area.

Australia? All these issues and many more have a bearing on the Ballina electorate. The cost of our involvement in the Iraq ďŹ asco could easily provide free dental treatment for everyone or return us to the time when students had free university education. We could have special schools for primary students with severe behaviour problems instead of trying to accommodate their needs while minimising disruption to the learning of others. The money squandered on war and its preparations, like the forthcoming 26,000 troop Talisman Sabre US/ Australian military excercises in the World Heritage Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, Shoalwater Bay, could help buy us a world class railway system. Why didn’t you ‘toot’ the opportunity costs of all this waste, Don? Thinking locally and acting locally is a recipe for disaster, yet this is what Don is good at. Unfortunately, the swing to the Nationals in Ballina and Tweed suggests that the bland are successfully leading the blind!

Our Association wrote a letter to the editor in the Byron Shire News two weeks ago asking that editor to provide some balance in the debate about ooding in the Shire’s north. However the editor didn’t respond. Similarly, Jim Mangleson’s views are regularly questioned, but Jim does not respond. Last week a News correspondent supported Jim’s view that the pump in South Golden Beach is a waste of money. That same correspondent previously attempted to derail the construction of the Helen Street bridge at the last moment – a community project some ten years in the planning. It appears that a similar attempt may be under way to derail the pump. Our efforts to improve our drainage have involved some 15 years of patiently prompting Council. The pump is one component of an overall strategy. After rain, not only oods, water sits in extensive open channels in our suburb for weeks. We want our suburb to drain better so that the threat of a child drowning or a car and occupants submerging is gone. Lessening Gareth W R Smith mosquito habitat is an obviByron Bay ous further motivation.

We hear the same misinformation perpetuated by the same few over and over. For example, we will address the myth that there was no community consultation connected with the development of the Floodplain Plan that now protects us to a large extent (note that Jim

Also we think that Council should encourage community members to address concerns to Council, which can easily clarify the situation. Surely Council has a duty to clear up confusion in the community concerning their own projects.

Dolphin update In an item in Backlash the other week it was suggested that readers should visit a website to view a gruesome video supposedly documenting the slaughter of dolphins paid for by the ‘dolphin-swim industry’. The video is truly gross, a document of human savagery almost unparalleled. It depicts the brutal slaughter of dolphins in a cove and in a slaughterhouse on the shore of a Japanese town. This video has been used as a shock tactic to inspire protest against Japanese dolphinkilling and whaling. To that end, it does some good. However, one of the main people behind the promotion of this video, and the petition one is asked to sign, has another agenda quietly attached to this campaign. I write this to make

spirit which has caused us to develop technology for example, but also to become self-conscious and ask questions about who we are, what is our destiny, and why is there a general feeling of unsatisfactoriness about life. Religions represent the search: the seeking. They become distorted when there is attachment to a particular interpretation. Religion, currently being discussed in The Echo, is, I would suggest, a soft target for those who feel annoyed by attachment to tradition, conditioning or ideas well past their use-by date. This civilisation is passing away as all civilisations have passed away. It is dying because most of the population is attached to past ideas and refuses to move beyond them. Many religions give advice about this particular condition, which is mostly ignored or distorted. We ignore too the wisdom of our forebears, one of whom, Epicurus, said, ‘One is rich not through one’s possessions, but through that which one can with dignity do without.’ It is not religion that is the

problem, but attachment. So attached are we to a materialist lifestyle, that we are prepared to countenance politicians who preach delay in attempting to overcome problems associated with the potential collapse of lifesupport systems on this planet. A previous writer to The Echo suggested that for humans to make mistakes was normal, but to carry on making those mistakes at redoubled effort was madness. So attached are we, that most of us dance with the madness and think it OK because most other people dance that dance too. Osho was reported to have said something like every generation has its quest in which individuals are drawn into a problem facing the whole society.

Alstonville Q For years, US authorities – political, judicial, military, intelligence, and US special forces – have ignored proper legal procedures vis-a-vis armed foreigners that were caught (or bought)in Afghanistan, procedures that are common practice in enlightened countries that respect Geneva Conventions. The use of ‘extraordinary

renditions’ (a euphemism for outsourcing torture to Egypt, Jordan and a few other unsavoury places) has been a favourite US method of breaking prisoners.

National cer vical cancer vaccinations begin April 2007. Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer in women worldwide which is almost always caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV).

cervical cancer vaccine available free to all females aged 12 to 26 under the National HPV Vaccination Program. For girls at school, the program starts in April 2007. A consent form will be sent home shortly for parents to fill in and return. For women who have left school, and are under 27, the free vaccine will be available from your GP or community immunisation clinic from July. The vaccine doesn’t prevent all cervical cancers, so regular Pap smears are still essential. But a free cervical cancer vaccine is still very good news for women. Help protect your daughter from cervical cancer. Sign the consent form.

Call to rate land on use, not tradition Dr Patrick Morrisey is challenging the NSW government’s Rural Lands Protection Board to assess his land as a regenerating forest and not as cleared land for running livestock. Dr Morrisey, who owns about six hectares of regenerating wet sclerophyll and rainforest in Goonengerry, is fighting his local RLPB over whether his property should be assessed for its carrying capacity of diverse flora and fauna and its value as a carbon sink, not as if it were cleared land for methaneproducing livestock. Dr Morrisey said, ‘It’s crazy. You would think governments in Australia would be encouraging people to protect forests on private land, not assess their land as if it were cleared land suitable for introduced livestock. ‘The appeals process intensified when the chair of the Local RLPB, cane and cattle farmer Brian Harbison of Mooball, told me that a bulldozer should be used to determine the carrying capacity of my rainforest block.’ The comment came when Dr Morrisey addressed the RLPB Board on Monday March 19 in Lismore, requesting a review of the

Will forest regeneration become a rateable quality as cattle grazing is now?

Notional Carrying Capacity for his property. The Board has assessed Dr Morrisey’s property as being able to carry ten livestock units, however Dr Morrisey considers the carrying capacity should be zero. He says his property is regenerating wet sclerophyll and rainforest and the forest should be considered on its merits, and not as if it were just weeds.

‘I was shocked,’ he said. I knew the Board were a conservative lot, but I never thought the Chair of the Board would consider using a bulldozer to determine a carrying capacity in a regenerating forest. ‘Brian Harbison said words to the effect, “We could get a bulldozer at the top of your property and work downhill clearing it... then you should

be able to run 10-12 livestock.” I said it was a steep, south facing rocky slope with rainforest on it, and he replied “then maybe a billy goat would be more suitable.. than cattle,” In response Brian Harbison told The Echo, ‘Dr Morrisey is twisting the truth, that’s the problem. He said his land doesn’t carry any stock, but that’s not the

issue. If someone owns over four hectares of land they pay rates, it’s a simple as that. Dr Morrisey has over six hectares which means he is clearly in the rate payer category. ‘The RLPB’s two tiered rate paying system – one minimum rate for landowners not running stock and the other animal health rate for those who have stock – is based on a government Act. It’s an the RLP Act. We must abide by the act. If we don’t rate Dr Morrisey, imagine who else will not want to pay rates. As far as I can see he is just objecting to paying rates... end of story. ‘If he wants to argue that his land is unsuitable for stock then he can appeal to the Lands Board or the Minister for Agriculture. I personally think it’s great that people plant trees on their properties. ‘As far as saying he could use a bulldozer, well I might have said that but I don’t remember saying it.’ Landowner Dr Morrisey says, ‘Imagine that, a board supposedly set up to protect rural land considers using a bulldozer to determine what land should be used for. If this is what the Chair of the Board thinks, and no Board

directors opposed him, what hope have we got for saving and enhancing the biodiversity we have left on private land? They should be applying measurable outcomes for different values in different contexts, not seeing all land through the prism of livestock.’ The RLP Act states that assessments of land returning to its undeveloped state must be based on its merits of the land at the time of assessment. However Dr Morrisey believes that despite this clause the system is ill equipped to assess land such as his that is regenerating, tending to bundle all vegetation under the ‘weed’ heading. ‘This is just one more reason why this organisation needs to be dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century,’ said Dr Morrisey. The Minister for Primary Industries Ian Macdonald has announced a review of the RLPB rating system. Patrick Morrisey is calling for submissions to be written now, while the review is taking place. They are to be addressed to Mr Richard Bull, RLPB Rate Review c/RLPB State Council, Locked Bag 21, Orange NSW 2800.

nj bknkho cWdkWb coFM I am fascinated with how animals and plants adapt to urban places. As a biologist, it’s one of my favourite themes. Or is it better to say I constantly wonder how creatures continue their lives in spite of how people change the land and water around them? I like reports from North America that falcons nest in skyscrapers and hunt city pigeons. In Brisbane, in a neighbourhood lacking trees of large size and old age, I saw osprey nests in high tension line towers along a restored stream near the sea. In New Zealand, a rare kakapo, ‘retired’ to a protected predator-free island, astounded everyone by proving fertile, successfully hatching a chick and raising it on a diet of regurgitated pine needles and other parts of an exotic forest there. This same forest was slated to be removed and replanted with native trees to provide a ‘proper’ food source for these beautiful and mysterious birds. Living creatures make the most of opportunities. One of the everyday skills and

small joys of biology is watching creatures do this. Everyone can learn how to observe more carefully and understand something of what is seen. So when I chanced on a lot of bird poo and various large soft black and white feathers on a small grass verge near the centre of Byron town, I stopped. These were signs. I looked up into two tall, spindly pines. I decided to return to the place about an hour before dark. Sure enough, this proved to be a roost of the royal ibis. This haunting stately bird is mostly white, with some dark speckled feathers at its tail. Ancient Egyptians worshipped the bird as the living symbol of Thoth, the god of knowledge. Thoth taught people the art of writing. The ibis has the long legs and long curved bill of a wader. Perhaps in these latter days, Thoth in turn guides the bird. This wetland inhabitant now makes its livelihood in the dry gardens and roadsides of central Byron. Over an hour’s time, I watched about 30 birds arrive. Each landed and

arranged itself in such a way as to be only so close to another. Wings were apped and beaks poked at each other to sort out this comfort zone. Are they the same birds each night? Does each return to the same branch? How long has this roost been used? What will make them change sites? Why do they bother to roost together? Does the ibis flock and roost together only when they are not raising chicks? Where do they nest anyway? I hear they breed from September to December. Do many chicks survive? Where are they? Knowing some biology makes me think these things. This is another dimension to being new in town. Sure I am learning where to ďŹ nd groceries and other goods, and where different members of my species congregate for different activities. But I am also on the lookout for how our companion species do this too. Q Mary Gardner is a writer, biologist and tutor. See her website at www.mgardner. info).

Articles Mandy Nolan interviews the incredibly surviving man, Yossi Ghinsberg

Exploring deep in the jungle of pain In 1981 Yossi Ghinsberg’s Amazonian hiking expedition went spectacularly wrong. When the raft he shared with three fellow adventurers hit a rock, he was propelled down a waterfall and transported by the river deep into the forest. Like the actors in the TV show, he was Lost. Except Yossi’s fate was real. He was alone, with no usable provisions, no matches, no hunting equipment, no tent. He was one man alone in a primitive place. It is an environment fraught with danger. It’s the kind of peril that can turn your mind inside out. On the phone to Yossi in his hotel room in Cannes (6am, god bless him) he recounted the biological horror show. ‘It’s not the piranha you have to worry about, it’s the small ones that can push themselves into your most intimate site, and then more dangerous are the electric fish that can touch and kill you, you die instantly...’ Yossi’s book Jungle has been an international success, and it recounts his extraordinary story. ‘It first came out in ’85 in

its original version in Hebrew. It’s still selling in various styles – it’s timeless, it’s about four men deep in the jungle and there is no political or social relevance, it’s just about my survival.’ His latest book Laws of the Jungle is more interpretative. Yossi examines what he learnt from his three weeks alone in the forest. I asked him if he realised at the time that his experience was to be his ‘defining moment’. ‘I guess I did – of course, with perspective, it became much deeper and meaningful, and even while I was going through it I knew it was a big story with lots of meaning to me. I went through lots when I was alone, not just distress but sometimes elation. I knew it was a coming of age – I knew this was the story of my life. I finally got my adventure! ‘At this time I didn’t want to be rescued, I wanted to deal with it – there was also like the providence, I wasn’t a big believer before I went into the jungle. It was that experience itself that opened me, things felt like miracles and I don’t doubt them at all, but when they happened they were very, very power-

ful, and then the notion of providence just arrived.’ So what is ‘providence’? ‘Every day I would know I would find some food to sustain me through the day. This wasn’t simple. It was the

midst of rainy season. Fruits are scarce and usually trees are very tall and you cannot reach what fruit there is. I could not hunt – I didn’t have a gun or knife, I couldn’t fish to find food. That meant

I had to rob a nest, I had confidence, that eggs in the nest would appear, or the tree to sleep under, with buttress roots, so I could shelter under them. I had a strong sense of providence with these things. Once I fell off a cliff and it was only landing on a tree that saved my life – that gave meaning to my life, I was spared and all this was like the existential part that made me feel that I had been spared for a reason.’ It is unimaginable to think of how one would cope in such circumstance. To have to manage fear and pain on a constant basis. ‘That I think is one of the deepest understandings. Firstly when you are in such a situation, you know what you need to do and you are very good to at it. The confusion that reigns in lesser situations is gone. In survival the faculties get honed – it is more like a natural phenomenon.You rise to the circumstance. It’s elation, it’s an intoxicating experience. I think it’s very natural. I didn’t know I could do that, so it was a nice surprise.’ The ordeal meant Yossi experienced three constant weeks of high adrenalin fear.

‘I knew that fear would just hinder me. During the day I would just deal with it. Sometimes during the action packed days I would be very busy but at night it was very tough. With no fire, no weapon. ‘The way I dealt with it was to use my ability to cast myself into imaginary place. I didn’t sleep at all. That ability to cast myself away allowed me to escape the fear and also be nourished mentally. I managed to sidetrack the fear. In the survival situation there is constant adrenalin and where it feels bad in some circumstances, in others you thrive on it, particularly in a survival situation. But the pain is a totally different story.’ Having experienced three labours I could empathise. Most women know that place. ‘It’s a much deeper place. There was so much pain. It’s unimaginable how much pain. My feet were completely raw – I had no skin and I was bitten thousands of times by mosquitoes. I had larvae under my skin. I fell and really hurt myself. The pain was tremendous. There continued opposite

is that point when the pain becomes non-personal. It’s a very high place, you stop becoming victim when you reach that naturally and that’s a very big gift for life. When the pain comes, small or big, most of the suffering is mental suffering and you think why me and that you don’t deserve it. There were places where I used pain to distract myself. I would inict pain on myself to keep walking. My feet were so painful I covered myself in ďŹ re ants just to keep going. First of all I knew that I am using the pain and not a victim of it – and then the madness of it, in my situation it was not a risk, I had collapsed and could not go on. I used pain to go on.’ On a philosophical level that’s a remarkable statement. It indicates that depth of experience gives life meaning. Yossi’s understanding of the landscape of pain informs many of his inspirational keynotes. ‘The human condition is to avoid pain. But it is unavoidable. Suffering is avoidable. Being a victim is avoidable. That’s one of the biggest teachings that I’ve learned. It’s a choice. But pain is not avoidable.’ Yossi credits his ability to survive in incredible adversity to his primal connection with his survival wisdom – something he credits all of us with in adverse and ‘life’ threatening situations. Interestingly, this place is where Yossi has uncovered his greatest spiritual revelations. ‘To survive I needed very precise and focused action. I didn’t have many other choices, staying alive was the main choice, there was life or there was death. ‘We haven’t completely lost it, but we are not aware of it [survival wisdom]. You know that there are lots of

stories of survival that are not as glamorous as mine. The moment you are aware of death, there is nothing more important than living, when you are not aware other things become important – every day is life or death, we should live like that. ‘I think one of the most important things is to understand that death is a great friend.’ In retrospect, Yossi’s Amazonian experience was not much of a surprise. Before he made his way to the jungle, he’d just ďŹ nished his stint in the Israeli navy where he’d read Papillon six times. He was up for a life-changing event. And like Steve McQueen when he jumped off that cliff onto the coconut shell raft, he was changed forever. ‘After that experience, so much of my conditioning was shattered. To assemble the pieces back to what it was, was impossible. I broke the mould of what I was growing up in. Israel is a very strong mould, the country is in a certain mould, to become free of that is actually not easy.’ I asked Yossi about the nature of his life sustaining Amazonian fantasy. ‘They were contrived visionary expeditions. I would cast myself into my dream but then they would take off independent of my control. All the stories became about two things, ďŹ rst was food, and second was companionship. It wasn’t sex. These were the most precious things. The need of other people to be part of a family, or tribe, this was not something superficial, it came from a very deep place – a very existential depth – so until this day I know that companionship is the immediate thing after food. All stories were about that. ‘I give you an example – I

fell in love with a gorgeous Brazilian girl in one of the hallucinations, but all that happened was that I was invited to her house and there was a banquet and then I asked her family over to my place to eat with me.’ In the height of hopelessness, what does it feel like to be rescued? ‘The relief of the rescue was indescribable – I knew that I would probably die – and I was so weak and so sick but not defeated but deep inside me I knew that even though I was ready to keep going, looking back I wasn’t that far from death. Being rescued then, that notion of miracle and providence, this was one of the most obvious miracles. ‘The circumstances were so unlikely it was not a coincidence. The rescuer was my best friend who was on the raft when it went down. Him coming back for me was not a surprise, he said he knew I was alive. The circumstances were, they stopped to turn the canoe, to go back because they decided they weren’t looking any more. When they stopped to turn the canoe, he burst into tears knowing it was over, he was sobbing crying, but his inner voice was saying I am going to start again.’ I mention the differences between his friend and the companion who abandons his comrade in Touching The Void, a spectacular documentary about the survival of two men on a mountain climbing expedition. Yossi laughs: ‘I am actually on the way to London tonight for the screening of my movie that was made by the same company that made Touching the Void. The ďŹ lm has been released on Discovery channel and it was because of the success of Touching The Void – mine is like a sequel.’

Thank you

Yossi Ghinsberg travels all over the world, sharing his survival wisdoms. Ten seconds on his website and you are able to download his appearance on Larry King and a host of American chat shows. It’s no wonder, he’s inspirational, and a truly gripping storyteller. I certainly didn’t feel like I was getting the Anthony Robbins motivational schtick, but after our chat I felt acutely aware of that ancient survival part of myself. Damn, maybe I could survive without my makeup bag and wonderbra. Yossi modestly footnotes his tale with: ‘The story is just a good story. I think everyone has a story on that level. Everyone meets adversity, some are transforming, only I can tell a story. That’s why I rejoice in doing what I am doing. It’s the best way to touch people, not by lecturing, because story turns adult into child, people turn pictures into their mind, you live it when you listen.’ When not jetting around the globe, Yossi lives with his family in Upper Wilsons Creek. He returns to give a workshop at the Starlight Festival at the Bangalow A&I Hall at 11am on Easter Saturday. The Starlight Festival runs from Friday to Monday, log onto www.globalhealing.com to check the program.

SONG There are few stories as inspiring as Reuben Carrones, lead vocalist for the Sierra Leone Refugee Allstars. Reuben instigated the band back in 1998 when Sierra Leone was in the midst of a vicious civil war when he, alongside thousands of others, found himself in a refugee camp. In a few short years the Allstars were greeted with rave reviews in The New York Times and Billboard Magazine raved: ‘The music is so buoyant and joyful’. Ironically, this music was created by musicians in extreme emotional and physical hardship, in the confines of a refugee camp. African American poet Maya Angelou perhaps sums up this phenomena in her book that describes the gospel music of slave culture. Her famous quote is even more appropriate for this energetic music of pure elation from the depths of human oppression: ‘The caged bird sings the sweetest song, because it sings of freedom.’ After a few days of trying to catch up I took the call from Reuben now living back in Sierra Leone. His accent was very thick and there was about a 5 second delay. It took immense concentration to hear his extraordinary story. It took immense courage and spirit to live it.

CINEMA - PAGE 41

‘Well way back in 1998 I had a dream of forming my own band in a refugee camp and I was looking out for members. I met with Franco – he was very much interested, he

told me that he has been looking for somebody who can write songs and somebody who can sing them, and then we started to meet. We found the other two members and that’s how the group started... my intention was to plan a band in the refugee situation – I find the music as therapy. I had psychological problems. I missed my country and I missed my family and I missed my kids and my parents – all these things that kept me psychologically troubled – something that could comfort me that could keep me away and so I started playing music in the refugee camp and in a way I was healed. ‘I think music is therapy – it can help – I have experienced it, and I have seen the power to heal. It helped many many of them (in the refugee camp). People smile! People jump and dance when you play. Other people with problems who were highly traumatised, you could see them smile with relief.’ It’s almost impossible to imagine such traumatic incarceration, to be relegated to imprisonment as one of your country’s, one of the world’s unwanted. The Refugee Allstars were creating music for spiritual escape. Reuben catches his breath and says: ‘Sometimes music deals with the soul of man... because the music was our only way – and we thought everything was lost and we played music as our only hope.’

The situation of the band’s inception is crucial in developing their roots reggae sound, infused with deep traditions of West African music. With a limited availability of instruments, the band was forced to compose most of their music on one old acoustic guitar. ‘One of the things we had was one acoustic guitar, that acoustic guitar and the music was like all we had. We tried to take some songs and put them on the guitar. We try to improvise. The only other instrument was a traditional one and my voice.’ The band became a subject of an internationally acclaimed documentary, and their song Living like a Refugee became a hit world wide. The band behind the Razor Wire had managed to get out. The film traces the incredible journey of a group of musicians who fled their native Sierra Leone in the midst of a brutal 10 year civil war, eventually journeying back to be reunited with family and friends and realise their dream of recording in a proper studio. ‘It’s like a dream now’, says Reuben, ’because we were working in the refugee camp – to occupy our minds from what has happened to us and back in 2002 we were vistited by two American nationals and a Canadian, they told us they were looking at people in

camps and we played Living like a Refugee, they became excited – and they said, we were to make a documentary about you. I say, what is a documentary? I say, if you guys are wanting to make a documentaty film I am very much happy to have one copy. We organised a tour for us to all the refugee camps and that was very successful and then after performing we shoot interview, we need to group all these images together so when they went back to America in 2003 – we told them we have many songs, and they said they are going to help you guys, and they said we should come to Sierra Leone, I was very much reluctant, to come there, it was initial peace, but it was not finally peaceful, so most of us were afraid but we trusted them. We went to Sierra Leone and then to work in the studio where we made just 8 songs – then we came to America.’ It’s part of Reuben Carrone’s vision, to spread the awareness of people living as refugees. ‘When we played in 2005 in Los Angeles we won an award for best documentary – when I was in the camp I was teaching – now I have really started my mission… you have a lot of people who need teaching.’ SIERRA LEONE’S REFUGEE ALLSTARS PLAY THE EAST COAST BLUES FEST ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.

Have you ever shared your need for emotional support in a challenging situation and been met with the reply: ‘Hmm, you seem to create that a lot in your life.’ Last time someone said that to me I felt like punching them and retorting,’Well, look what you just created!’ Implying that people are always the masters of their own fate is cruel and uncompassionate, and the result of a very awed philosophy. Has anyone ever stopped to examine the sheer stupidity of what they are saying? It’s the quasi-spiritual cult of the individual, where one’s desire to fulďŹ l one’s inner monologue reigns supreme over the greater good, that is to say, if it is good for me, or if it reects my ‘inner truth’, then it must be right. ‘Inner Truth’ is just shorthand for a

CREATION STORY arriving in Australia, declaring it Terra Nullius and asserting ‘Sorry chaps, we’ll be taking over now. Very sorry. Why don’t you all pop off and have a jolly good think about just what you did to create this?’ The manufactured ideology that the self can be totally satiated has given rise to a dangerous and disconnected belief system. It’s very convenient to see the suffering of others as being their responsiblity. It removes the need for intervention. It’s also supremely naive and dangerously reductionist. The rise of the individual isn’t a spiritual innovation, it’s the byproduct of a capitalist economy. In the comfy consumerist chair of our privilege, all we need to do is pull the curtains on First Class, and the whole stinking economy section disappears. Imagine popping over to visit a Cambodian

orphanage, where children have had their feet blown off by land mines. Imagine his big brown eyes staring deeply into yours as you utter: ‘Well Chantou maybe you need to think about what you’ve done to create this.’ It’s just plain stupid. I worry about a world that garners its spiritual instruction from crud like What the Bleep. As for the Secret, I’d be keeping it a secret too if I was watching crap like that. ‘Hey man you forgot to back your truck up to the Universal Warehouse and load it up...damn, only toasters left.’ The human condition is out there. A stinking, uncomfortable, fucking inconvenient truth. Try living your life for one day where the poverty, hardship and struggles of others are your responsibility. Because they are. Certainly makes the Moet taste bitter. Go create that.

self-focused decision. It’s the elaborate and highly decorative cover for being a selďŹ sh twat. Perhaps it would be more spiritual to say: ‘I’ll do what I want so fuck you.’ For a long time, the basic tenet of ‘new age’ thinking has been that one chooses one’s life circumstances. I am sure this is easy to come to grips with when you are resting in the silk folds of your robe, levitating in the languid lotus of a delightfully privileged life, but when you are an indigeneous family living in a remote desert town where your only shelter is a few scraps of corrugated iron, there’s no clean water and the kids’ playground is a pile of burnt out car bodies, I reckon the concept that you might have created this is downright insulting. Insinuating that the oppressed or disenfranchised ‘create’ their situation is probably what helps dictators sleep at night. I mean, just why would the Jewish nation ‘create’ a holocaust? It certainly made for powerful ďŹ lmmaking. Imagine Captain Cook

Annual Blues Association of S.E. Queensland Birthday and guest performance at Woodford are a testament to the sheer joy that BRK bring to the stage and audiences everywhere they play. ‘Big stage, small stage, no stage, private party, event or street performance, we give it all we’ve got, one hundred and ten percent!’ Jules Victor.(Groove Mag 2005). The Blue Rhythm Kings play the Rails on Sunday.

IT’S ALL WRIGHT Since ďŹ rst exploding on to the Byron Bay music scene about two years ago as the singer songwriter for The Wright Brothers, Simon Wright has continued to forge his name amongst the local punters. 2006 saw the end of The Wright Brothers format and the beginning of ‘Simon Wright and the Groove Collective’. Dave Wright, Simon’s father is playing lead guitars for the Collective. For those of you that have been around awhile, Dave Wright was playing regularly in the area over ten years ago with his rocking blues outďŹ t ‘Feeling The Pinch’. Dave has spent the last ten years in

Europe avoiding the limelight but has come out of hiding to support Simon in his quest to make an impression on the Australian music scene. 2007 will see Simon in the studio recording an EP as well as an east coast tour with hot Melbourne band ‘Still Thinking’, reďŹ ning his stage skills before taking the package to Europe, starting with a Spanish tour early 2008. If you’re not out at the Blues Fest be sure to make it in to the Rails this Friday for ‘Simon Wright and the Groove Collective’ and see what all the fuss is about. See the reworked version of He ain’t Heavy, He’s my Father.

THE KURTIS AND THE HAIR I have to admit that I miss the Kurtis hair of old. The sunbleached blonde fro that seemed to reect the same soulful and funk based abandon of the artist. I am still coming to terms with slick new dark haired Kurtis as being the same dude. But that’s hair man. Sometimes you just have to let go. And I suppose, like the hair, the music has got a whole

lot slicker. Kurtis loves to perform and his shows are always a turnon to dancing for audiences everywhere, with musical inuences ranging from Marvin Gaye, to Stevie Wonder and Earth, Wind and Fire. The infectiously funky new dance single Better than the Real Thing’has already created a buzz. MTV Europe with 480 million viewers (yes that’s more than a Sunday at the Rails) has chosen to feature Kurtis as hot new talent for their program ‘Leak’. They have also used Kurtis for 10 program ID’s. MTV have also chosen Kurtis’ video clip of Better Than The Real Thing for their new phone downloading system (already with 3 million users). ITunes and MTV are currently negotiating a collaboration to launch Kurtis into the European market. Back here in Oz, Kurtis proves you don’t have to slug it out on the live circuit when you can break into the electronic one. Foxtel Australia (Arena cable channel) has chosen Better Than The Real Thing to open their daily Entertainment News program ‘Exclusive’. Nova Australia-Wide has added the Kurtis single to

GRAB YOUR EARS AND SLAP YOUR LOVE HANDLES I’ve always lived in fear of Love Handles. That suspicious bit of fat that gets lovingly slapped and then grabbed in an attempt to lift you into some twisted sexual position. I’ve eliminated handles and had a disabled rail installed.

ROUS WATER FLYING THE FLAG FOR A HEALTHY CATCHMENT Arts projects are increasingly being recognised as a powerful tool for achieving community education and community development objectives. In this project Rous Water (the regional water supply authority) has teamed up with Arts Northern Rivers (peak body for the arts and cultural sector in the Northern Rivers region) to reach out and engage with the community using the visual arts as an innovative and effective tool in communicating ideas and messages regarding water catchments, ecosystems, and sustainable water management. A series of ‘flags’ has been developed that shall be highly visible expressions of these key catchment themes and capable of being installed and displayed in public locations and for community events. Flags have been used throughout time and by many cultures to assist in the identification and communication of important information. The Rous Water Future Flags project is intended to symbolise how we want our catchments to

Next Thursday night The Backroom at the Great Northern Hotel will host the last Mission Ignition performance before Tone Broker and Morgane move permanently to France with new bub (Naiah) and dog in tow. The band will feature the complete armada of 8 players along with silhouette dancers and with Morgane coming back from maternity leave to help Sal Yates and Tone on vocal duties. After a great summer with shows at the Big Day Out, Exodus and Beats on the Beach, the Mission will be fully operational and in fine form. As far as special guests go, joining Mission Ignition on the night will be Lucky Dollar (Lachlan Doley) who is known as Australia’s most exciting keyboard player. He has toured and recorded with some of Australia’s finest including Powderfinger, Billy Thorpe, Jimmy Barnes, Diesel, Andy Clockwise, Jade MacRae and The Hands to name a few. Often compared to John Lord and Keith Emerson for his onstage acrobatics and Herbie Hancock for his seemingly neverending flood of the funk which pours out and saturates everyone in its path. When Lucky Dollar’s magic hands take complete control over his organ, rest assured the whole crowd is right there with him when he starts to blow. To compare Lucky Dollar you could say ‘The attitude of OutKast, the funkiness of George Clinton, the rhythm of Stevie Wonder and the look and function in 20 years time and to signal the way forward towards a model for sustainability. Paul Muldoon, General Manager of Rous Water said: “The quality of water supplied by Rous Water is partly determined by the condition of our water catchment areas. Education

Ex Byronites, Noodles ‘n’ Noel Boogie will also be making the pilgrimage North for the weekend and will lay down some of the finest vinyl in the country as well as some of their tasty studio creations. They’ve been very busy of late with a million gigs in and around Sydney and with their mixtape compilation having been featured on the Ninja Tunes BBC Radio One presentation ‘Solid Steel’. Expect some of the best beat juggling and freshest wax this side of the equator when these two hit the decks. And lastly, fresh off the heels of their mega successful, sold out, world tour of Azerbaijan and other eastern bloc music mecca’s and unable to accommodate the Bluesfest organisers by appearing at the actual festival, ‘Ned Kelly’s Hammer’ will play a ‘one off’ special event, limited edition showcase to launch the ‘spirit’ of the festival and bless its punters with the ‘karma of good fun’. There will be a film crew in town to capture the gig and feature Mission Ignition in an upcoming ABC Adventure Travel Series called ‘Fanging the Kombie’ – so put on your craziest outfit (or don’t) and come be part of the action. Doors open at 9pm and the cover charge is only $5, so there’s absolutely no excuse for a no show.

The Bilbies will be slowly melting in the groove of an easy Easter Sunday, on the deck of Yami’s Café, from 1pm. is a key part of catchment management.” The Rous Water Future Flags project provides in an innovative and fun way a reminder that we can all have a positive influence on catchment health and water quality in the catchment systems where we live and work.”

Featured pics by Ted Harvey tell the story of their 1972 concert in Sydney. Zeppelin is a band that continues to inuence musicians to this day. You might say, we live in a culture that is easily Led. Exhibition runs from Wednesday until 19 May.

STARLIGHT FESTIVAL GO HEAL YOURSELF The Starlight Wellbeing Festival hosts its 22nd event this Easter long weekend. This is a wonderful opportunity to experience everything the new age has to offer. With healings, tarot readings, courses, crystal singing bowl meditation, and motivational inspiration, this is a weekend where we can ďŹ nd out how best to nourish ourselves. It’s the real deal, and you will meet some remarkable people. You’ll meet kooky people. It’s like a spiritual sideshow of remedies and cures in a range of alternative modalities. One of the featured presenters is Jane Merredith, a priestes of the Goddess. Jane’s rituals and workshops are held in sacred space with an emphasis on self-discovery, transformation and meeting with the divine. Many of her workshops are for women only, exploring topics such as sexuality, the Dark Goddess and love. Her workshops for men and women examine relationship themes as well as the creation of sacred ritual. She also runs hands-on Tarot classes and workshops and is an experienced Tarot reader. Jane has a passion for dynamic, creative ritual, the myths of the god and goddess and the patterns and cycles that exist in the Wheel of the Year, individual lives and our collective psyche. She is an innovative and

skilled facilitator, committed to the wellbeing of those who attend her work and to the evocation of the divine. She will be presenting her workshop on Monday from 11am. It’s informative, it’s deep, it’s challenging and it’s fun. Treat yourself to a day at the Bangalow A&I Hall from 9.30am to 5pm Friday to Monday.

ART FEHVA CALL FOR ARTISTS FEHVA 48 hours of Visual Arts will be celebrating its fourth year and this year takes on a bigger wallspace at the Bangalow A&I Hall.

DJ KEB DARGE + SNOWBOY

dANCIN WITH dan DEEP FUNK IN THE FOREST It’s back! bigger then ever! Saturday 14th April at Kohinur Hall will feature the legendary DJ Keb Darge (Scotland) one of the world’s leading collectors of rare funk, soul and disco. This is a Deep Funk affair not to be missed. Beginning his DJing career playing northern soul clubs in the 70’s Keb spent a lot of time scouring dusty US. Keb was the man responsible for coining the term Deep Funk to describe the sound of the ridiculously rare funk records he was playing at the Wag Club and later with Snowboy at a club night called Deep Funk which is still the leading nightclub in London for funk today. In the early eighties Keb had

developed an unique style of DJing. He would play popular records he did not approve of several times in a row, then break the record and throw it into the crowd shouting at them to wake up and realise they were being cheated by big name DJs. He would then in a threatening manner demand they pay attention to the record he was playing or fuck off and don’t come back until they had developed some taste. Around this time Keb and his DJ partner Guy Hennigan found a home at the ‘Top of the World’ all nighters in Stafford just south of Manchester. This became the club of the eighties and the pair became the top northern DJs, Keb being voted number one three times and Guy twice by readers of Blackbeat magazine. Today anyone

on the Northern scene will tell you that it is still thriving today only because of the work Keb and Guy did back in the early eighties. More recently Keb, with fellow DJ and producer Kenny Dope (Masters at Work) have established Kay Dee records the imprint for rare reissued classic funk records. Keb has also released several albums compiling classic deep funk tracks most notably Funk Spectrum with DJ Shadow and Keb Darges Deep Funk compilations on BBE records. If you love those great dance grooves I suggest you do not miss this night! The night starts at 8pm with Deep Funk in the Forest Regulars DJ Shufe (Funkyard 99.9 BayFM) and The Phunk Phanatik, $15 at the door and 10% goes to rainforest rescue.

Propelled by the successful release of his debut album Megafauna, Melbourne based electronic producer Spoonbill lays his anticipated second album, Nestegg. This latest call from the wild is both cerebral sonic entertainment and smoothly-beaten groove, coming together as a heavily edited fusion of live recorded instrumentation and fabricated electronica. From antique tones to genrewarping sound art, Nestegg is a mastery of chaos. Enticing listeners with its smooth, shiny shell of downbeat tunes, Nestegg breaks open

THIS WEEK CELEBRATES THE FESTIVAL OF KUAN YIN, PRIMARY CHINESE GODDESS OF HEALING AND FORGIVENESS – ALSO AN ASTROLOGICALLY APPROPRIATE TIME TO LET GO OF LONG STANDING GRUDGES AND ALLOW OURSELVES THE HEALING FEELING OF FORGIVENESS‌ ARIES: This week’s Aries birthday person is Hans Christian Anderson who wrote The Emperor’s New Clothes about everyone pretending to see something that wasn’t there. Guess who’ll be speaking out against precisely this kind of communal collusion – and instigating some changes too. TAURUS: You’ll have to stay on the ball and think fast this week to prevent pushy persons taking unexpected advantage. Don’t lose perspective or overreact – just stay cool, keep your sense of humour and simply refuse to be railroaded. GEMINI: Not everyone’s as quick as you this week, so give people a chance to respond at their own pace. Express your affections – others love hearing you care, and this week your Geminian knowhow could be a lifesaver to someone in need of speciďŹ c information. CANCER: Don’t take other people’s behaviour personally, because everything changes. This week’s full Moon focus is on relationships, family matters and strengthening social ties – having discussions you’ve been putting off, clearing the air, improving communication and

understanding with others. LEO: This week carries an accident rating for ďŹ re signs, so as motorist, pedestrian or machine operator take extra care and stay aware when changing your mind or direction. And away from people, situations or substances that affect your concentration or dull your edge. VIRGO: Is your emphasis on giving more than receiving making it difďŹ cult for others to feel needed or get close to you? If you’ve been hard to reach on a personal level lately, don’t waste the full Moon of Togetherness – or this week’s very affectionate overtures. LIBRA: The year’s Libra full Moon has a fun loving, exuberant, let’s do it now, sassy, kick assy attitude that suits you just ďŹ ne. Your powers of non verbal persuasion are particularly impressive this week and there’s every likelihood of unexpected assistance. SCORPIO: Disagreement won’t mean attack or betrayal this week – simply not in agreement. While it seems inconceivable others don’t see things your way, smart Scorps will at least give differences of opinion a hearing and not absolutely rule out the possibility of

)3 ./7 !6!),!",% &/2ĂŠ

*"" ĂŠ- ,6 ĂŠ

compromise. SAGITTARIUS: This week’s Libra full Moon is a peak astrological window of opportunity to review relationships: personal, professional and casual. Are they really working the way you want – or is there something you could be doing to improve them? CAPRICORN: Your knowledge, talent or social savvy puts you in a key position with excellent leverage and bargaining power this week.

For your wellbeing

Last year I heard about the Calmbirth® preparation classes. With great excitement I attended a training and was delighted to learn firsthand that many women using the Calmbirth® approach report experiencing minimal pain. It is possible to birth with minimal pain. Calmbirth® is a valuable complement to my background in midwifery and more recently in the role of Doula. It provides a mindful approach that helps mothers to access their inner resources, allowing them to welcome birth as a gentle process of opening. It is then possible for birth to happen in a calm, joyous and peaceful manner. Calmbirth® is holistic and inclusive. Fathers come away from classes understanding the integral and valuable part they play in the birth of their baby. They know what it is they need to do and how to be. For me it just makes so much sense and ‘feels’ so right. I want to share it with everyone!

SPECIAL LIFTOUT PRESENTED BY

Welcome to one of the World’s best Festivals BEN HARPER Ben Harper famously broke to Australian audiences at the East Coast Blues and Roots Music Festival back in 1997, and returns regularly, in certain ways embodying the entire event. With the March release of his seventh studio album, the double-disc Both Sides Of The Gun, Ben Harper offers his signature mix of rock, soul, and folk music. Since debuting in 1994 with Welcome To The Cruel World, the California native has established himself as one of the worlds most versatile musicians. Taking up the offer to

With 121 acts performing over just four days, this is the ultimate musical smorgasboard, where you can sup at the table with the likes of Ben Harper, you can immerse yourself in the post Joplin enigma that is Ms Joss Stone, make goo goo eyes as John Mayer or you can use the time to uncover your prediction for the next big thing. With one of the most impressive line ups in years, this event has sold out in record time – you will be amongst the privileged few who in years to come will reect on the marvel that was Bluesfest 2007.

tour with the gospel musicians Blind Boys Of Alabama in 2004 produced the Grammy-winning collaboration There Will Be A Light. Ben says that working with these legends, on stage and in the studio, quite simply altered his entire approach to making music. In his own words, ‘Before the Blind Boys, I used to sing. With and after the Blind Boys, I may have become a singer.’ Throughout his career, Ben has bounced between recording on his own, with other musicians like Beth Orton and John Lee Hooker and with his long-time legendary partners, The

Innocent Criminals. He plays the Mojo tent on Monday.

In the late 90s John Mayer abandoned the Berklee College of Music to settle in Atlanta, Georgia, where he released his independent debut solo album, Inside Wants Out, in 1999. At the same time, he became a regular in the Atlanta club circuit, playing a steady stream of shows. Seven years later, John has released his third studio album Continuum following the mainstream and Grammy-winning successes of both Room For Squares (2001) and Heavier Things (2003). The album marks his ďŹ rst turn as producer and is his most soulful, cohesive collection yet. The last few years have seen John maintaining a frantic pace. In addition to his own writing, recording, and touring, he has collaborated with Eric Clapton, B.B. King, Buddy Guy, Herbie Hancock, Kanye West, the Dixie Chicks, and Alicia Keys. John also credits his collaboration with

Wolfmother

Steve Jordan and Pino Palladino (collectively known as the John Mayer Trio) and the intimate-venue tour that produced the 2005 live album Try! with shifting his musical priorities. He plays the Mojo stage on Thursday.

WOLFMOTHER Hailed at this year’s ARIA Awards with the gongs for Best Breakthrough Album, Best Rock Album and Best Group, Wolfmother Aussie rock trio Andrew Stockdale, Chris Ross, and Myles Heskett were conceived in 2000 and made a promising start with their self-titled EP in 2004, but the boys didn’t ďŹ nd real chart success until October 2005, when they released their self-titled ďŹ rst album. With its psychedelic brand of proto-heavy metal sounds, Wolfmother was quick to become certiďŹ ed platinum and won Album Of The Year from national radio network Triple J before picking up the gongs at the ARIAs. The band joins the festival after a world tour wowing audiences across Australia, North America, the UK, France and Japan. They play the Mojo on Thursday.

KASEY CHAMBERS

www.echo.net.au

AYO

A welcome regular to Byron Bay, Kasey Chambers is back again, having played the festival every year since her 2000 debut bar one! Kasey’s star has steadily risen over the years with the release of her albums Barricades & Brickwalls (2002) and Wayward Angel (2004). In August of 2006 Kasey released her fourth album Carnival, which debuted at number one on the Australian ARIA Album Chart. Following this accomplishment, Kasey – a regular winner at ARIAs past – was nominated at this years ARIAs in the Best Female Artist category.

Ziggy Marley

AYO is a German born soul, folk and reggae artist, the daughter of a Nigerian father who had come to Germany to study in the 1970s, and sometimes worked as a DJ, and a mother who is a gypsy. AYOs rather unusual name means joy in Yoruba. Her rich cultural background is also reflected in her musical influences. She grew up amidst Pink Floyd and Fela Kuti, the Soul Children and Bob Marley, and many others. AYOs nomadic lifestyle brought her to live between Paris and New York, two capitals that accurately sum up her musical identity. AYO’s entire album, Joyful, was recorded in New The Roots York under live conditions. She cries, laughs and moves us with her simplicity. Like her predecessors, she strives to naturally and sincerely Vanessa share her stories Amarossi and touch others,

What can you expect from a Kasey Chambers performance? A little bit of grit, partly born of tradition, partly of the times. More than a little bit of country, and a healthy dose of rock and roll. She plays the Mojo on Sunday just before Paul Kelly.

OZOMATLI Los Angeles band Ozomatli bring an artful touch to its mix of funk, rock hip hop and traditional latin forms, Asian instrumentation and more. With multiple laurels under their belts including two Grammy Awards, national tours with Dave Matthews Band and Santana, the band has ventured to new terrain; a community art space in the heart of their hometown. ‘We did an art installation at Tropico de Nopal, a gallery near Macarthur Park in LA’ recalls bassist-vocalist WilDog Abers. ‘We stayed there for two weeks, writing, each member of the band had a corner of the room which we decorated ourselves. visitors came in and each of us got a chance to show how we create music, individually and collectively. That environment Ayo gave birth to our new songs. I think we have created the most cohesive album yet.’ Experience the sheer power of ‘Dragon’ at the East Coast Blues Festival on Saturday.

TONY JOE WHITE In 1969, Tony Joe White brought his brand of Swampy Blues into a Top 10 hit with his song ‘Polk Salad Annie.’ This was followed very shortly in 1970, by Brook Benton’s soulful rendition of White’s timeless ‘Rainy Night In Georgia.’ Throughout the 1970s and 1980s White toured in support of artists including Creedence Clearwater Revival and James Taylor. In Tony Joe the 1990s Tina Turner recorded White four of his songs for her multi-platinum selling album Foreign Affairs, including the worldwide hit ‘Steamy Windows’. With the advent of that project, White formed an alliance with Turner’s manager, Roger Davie and his career began to soar. In Europe, White gained legendary status following a successful debut at the historic Isle of Wight Festival in 1970. His European following has spawned a career that has spanned the decades. In 1991 he issued the Closer To The Truth album and spent the next two years touring Europe in support of Eric Clapton and Joe Cocker, among others. He cut two more albums, 1993’s Path Of A Decent Groove and 1995’s Lake Placid Blues, the latter garnering the first of

two nominations for ‘Best R & B Album’ from the Nashville Music Awards. In 1999, White went back to his roots and recorded One Hot July, in the swamps of Louisiana. He then toured Australia and Europe once again in support of the critically acclaimed album. In 2001, he released The Beginning – a stripped-down acoustic album that received worldwide recognition and five star ratings in virtually every country. Most recently Tony Joe White has released The Heroines and the critically

cinema BOBBY If the West now believes anything at all, it is that its leaders are false. The summation is too often selfevident, but contributing to the malaise of such cynicism are unending proclamations from the good and the great pundits, such as John Pilger, when jealously guarding the high moral ground on which they have taken squatters’ rights. ‘Bobby Kennedy was a carpetbagger,’ he declared on LNL to Phillip Adams, who grunted sagely, like Pilger’s boarding school fag. James Ellroy did a less sanctimonious demolition of the Kennedy myth in his magniďŹ cent novel, American Tabloid, burying forever the Camelot fantasy. But that’s not the point of this wonderful, heartfelt and timely movie. The point is that ideals can heal a society – in this case one that was wracked with racial tensions and mired in a dirty war in Vietnam – and if an ideal has a ďŹ gurehead whom people can look up to as its embodiment, then bugger his questionable path to the pedestal and his feet of clay. The story covers the twenty-four hours leading up to the assassination of Senator Kennedy in 1968 at the Ambassador Hotel, LA. He is featured only in newsreel footage, the central characters being a group of ‘ordinary’ people living disparate lives but who were all employed or staying at the hotel on that day. There are excellent, understated performances from William H Macy as the manager having it off with the phone receptionist, from Sharon Stone as his jaded wife

who runs the hairdressing parlour and Demi Moore as a clapped-out nightclub singer on the turps. But it is Brian Geraghty and Joshua Jackson as the campaign volunteers who drop acid when they should be on the job and Freddy Rodriguez as JosĂŠ the busboy who catch the eye. JosĂŠ especially, as the baseball crazy Latino, represents the underclass that, misguidedlly or not, saw in Kennedy a liberation from their perrenial status as the downtrodden. Even more edifying is the passion that writer/director Emilio Estevez has invested in the recreation of that fateful day. ‘I couldn’t bring myself to see a Hollywood movie of what I experienced [as one who was at the hotel],’ sighed Pilger. Estevez, whose Mexican forebears might have had a truer understanding of what it was all about for the poor, would have told John that it’s not about him. John Campbell

STRANGER THAN FICTION Talladega Nights changed my mind about Will Ferrell. He is, I realised, not a complete goose after all. Here, as Harold Crick, he again shows range and versatility, playing a clock-watching, number-crunching taxman on whom it slowly dawns that he is merely the character in a novel in progress. Its author, Karen Eiffel (Emma Thompson), has writer’s block and is struggling to get to the conclusion, in which she will kill Harold. It’s a smart, existential idea that has been toyed with similarly in The Truman Show and the superior Adaptation.

The trouble is that, though the movie is clever, Eiffel’s book is dead boring. Nothing much of interest happens to Crick, other than his growing awareness of his own ďŹ ctional identity and the fate, which he cannot control, that awaits him. Unfortunately, director Marc Forster and writer Zach Helm are far too preoccupied with the mechanics of their story and consequently its strict formatting does not allow it air to breathe. There is a wonderful scene in which Ferrell accompanies himself on guitar and sings to Ana (Maggie Gyllenhaal), the Harvard drop-out who is now saving the world by baking cookies, and later, approaching its climax, you do ďŹ nally become intrigued by what might happen. But those two instances only add up to about ten minutes out of a hundred that are equal parts humdrum and pretention. The usually sublime Emma Thompson overacts and Dustin Hoffman is, well, Dustin Hoffman. Life afďŹ rming in its ambition, banal in its outcome. John Campbell

MEET THE ROBINSONS Walt Disney: ‘Around here, we don’t look backwards for very long. We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.’ Lewis, an orphan, feels unloveable. 124 sets of prospective parents have interviewed and decided not to adopt him. He’s just a little too kooky—an inventor, a dreamer, misunderstood. Like Walt. It’s not until he meets Wilbur Robinson, a kid from the future, that Lewis ďŹ nds a family as weird as he. This is a departure for Disney animation. The shape of the faces, particularly that of Bowler Hat Guy, the ‘baddie’, feel French, kind of Triplets of Belleville or One Man Band (the Pixar short). In some ways it feels daring and fantastical, a look back at the animation of Disney himself. It even opens with an old Mickey cartoon. In other ways it lacks the heart and depth of some of the better studio animation. The time travel stuff will be challenging to comprehend for younger

kids (or anyone who hasn’t seen Back to the Future, from which this ďŹ lm borrows heavily) but they don’t seem to mind. And apart from a convoluted twenty-minute sequence leading to climax, it’s coherent, fast-cut, inspiring (in a Disney kind of way) and funny. As the Robinsons say, ‘What if Louis Armstrong had said, “I can’tâ€?. Do you think he’d have walked on the moon?’ Tristan Bancks

PAN’S LABYRINTH Directed by Guillermo del Toro, this is a ďŹ lm for all ages, as long as audiences are open to gothic twists that scare them senseless. The ďŹ lm is horriďŹ c and heartfelt in the way it sees the trauma of war through the eyes of a little girl. To hail Pan’s Labyrinth for its visionary ravishments is hardly to do it justice. Set in the Madrid countryside in 1944 after the Spanish Civil War, when Generalissimo Francisco Franco and his repressive fascist guard attempted to quell rebel uprisings, the ďŹ lm makes no attempt to hide or soften the brutality of the period. As the ďŹ lm opens, Ofelia and her mother, Carmen, have arrived at a garrison commanded by the sadistic Captain Vidal, who is Ofelia’s new stepfather. You leave del Toro’s one-of-a-kind ďŹ lm feeling you’ve never seen the world before, not like this, not with such aching beauty and terror in the service of obliterating barriers of time, place, genre and language.

ORGANIC FOOD ROCKS As the debate rages on about whether organically grown food is better for us than the ‘conventional’ produce we have become used to, a new study sides ďŹ rmly with organic. Scientists found that some organic food is healthier after tests on kiwi fruit grown by both methods. American researchers have discovered that organically grown kiwis had signiďŹ cantly higher levels of vitamin C and polyphenols – compounds associated with health beneďŹ ts including reducing cholesterol, improving circulation and preventing cancer. While sales of organic food are growing rapidly, some experts claim there is little scientiďŹ c evidence of health beneďŹ ts. Nutritionist Jennie Brand-Miller of Sydney University states that buying organic is simply a ‘lifestyle choice’, citing research that concluded there was no nutritional difference. Shane Heaton, nutritionist of the Biological Farmers of Australia, says: ‘This is a very rigorous study. There is clear evidence that a range of organic foods contain more beneďŹ cial nutrients and vitamins and less of things known to have a detrimental health effect such as pesticide residues, food additives and nitrates.’ The new research was carried out by Dr Maria Amodio and Dr Adel Kader, from the University of California Davies. Writing in the Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, they said: ‘All the main mineral constituents were more concentrated in the organic kiwi fruit, which also had higher asorbic acid (vitamin C) and total polyphenol content, resulting in higher antioxidant activity. ‘It is possible that conventional growing practices utilise levels of pesticides that may result in a disruption to phenolic metabolites in the plant that have a protective role in plant defence mechanisms.’ Researchers compared organic and non-organic kiwis grown next to each other on a farm in Marysville, California, simultaneously. It was revealed levels of sugars and acids were almost identical, so the avour would be similar. The organic fruit was darker and had thicker skin – likely to have developed as part of its defence against pests in the absence of pesticides. Organically grown fruit had 17 per cent more polyphenols – antioxidants that reduce the production in the body of harmful chemicals called free radicals. The organic produce was also found to have 14 per cent more vitamin C and greater concentrations of several important minerals such as potassium and calcium. And according to Macro Wholefoods Market, organic food is, on average, more nutritious than its non-organic equivalent because artiďŹ cial fertilisation produces lush growth that swells the plants with water. There is more dry matter (ie food) weight for weight in organic food. Hence, a kilo of organic tomatoes contains less water and is therefore higher in nutrients than a kilo of non-organic produced tomatoes. The correlation of this is that you need to eat more conventionally produced food to get the same nutritional beneďŹ t. Furthermore, a scientiďŹ c study published in the Journal of Applied Nutrition in 1993 showed that certain organic produce is more nutritious than if grown with the use of pesticides. Organically and conventionally grown apples, potatoes, pears, wheat, and sweet corn were purchased in the western suburbs of Chicago, over two years, and analysed for mineral content. The organically grown food averaged 63% higher in calcium, 73% higher in iron, 118% higher in magnesium, 178% higher in molybdenum, 91% higher in phosphorus, 125% higher in potassium and 60% higher in zinc. The organic food averaged 29% lower in mercury than the conventionally raised food. As for animal products, antibiotics are used extensively in conventional animal farming to promote growth and prevent disease. The upshot of this is simply that consumers of the resulting products are prone to developing antibiotic resistance. Australian organic farming standards prohibit the use of antibiotics meaning that farmers need to rely on better animal welfare and preventative health management, rather than medication. In addition to this, there are numerous studies that conclude that organic milk has higher levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids, compared to non-organic milk. In particular, average levels of omega-3 fatty acids were 68% higher in organic milk. Organic milk also contains a much lower omega-6:omega3 fatty acid ratio, which is considered beneďŹ cial, than nonorganic milk. A lower ratio of omega3/omega6 is more desirable in reducing the risk of many chronic diseases of high prevalence in Western societies.See more at www. macrowholefoods.com.au

I heard once that some 80% of the cafĂŠs and restaurants in the Byron Shire were on the market, a statistic I ďŹ nd quite staggering (and quite possibly exaggerated). And yet I am aware of the frequency with which eateries change hands, or direction; it’s a seasonal place, and there should be no surprise at its shifting dynamic. So while it is always exciting when a new place opens up, it is equally reassuring when you ďŹ nd one which endures, and not only endures but manages that rare and lovely thing called consistency. Cafe one one one at the cinema end of Jonson Street is still fairly young, though settling into its stride with conďŹ dence. It continues to impress and delight this particular eater, and after a handful of dinners there I can safely say that it has barely skipped a beat. A recent offering of Donnybrook blue cheese with house-made toasted bunyah nut bread and zucchini paste was a revelation of avour combinations, and especially good with an accompanying Austrian white wine offered by the glass from one of their ever-changing baby blackboard menus. One veritable stayer is Figtree out at Ewingsdale, where lately you may Sunday-lunch to live acoustic music. It’s the little touches like the fat warmed olives, the nuts, the slices of superb homemade bread and good oil brought out to you as you sip your pre-meal drinks by the pool that make this restaurant special. Another one lasting the distance is FatBellyKat at Brunswick Heads. After an absence I returned there recently, only to be bowled over by food so explosively gorgeous I vowed to repeat the experience more often. Their Oyster Monday special of $12.95 for 12 oysters selected from a choice of at least six different dazzling ways is extraordinary value. It’s rich food, however, heavy on cheese and nuts and things fried in breadcrumbs (a plain green salad on the menu would be welcome) – so come away expecting to feel, well, fat-bellied. I know that Lismore is beyond the Byron Shire but have to give a special mention to another enduring venue on the dining scene. Paupiettes, run by husband and wife David and Shirley Forster, is so absolutely worth the drive there: his glorious food is contemporary Mediterranean, and despite the restaurant’s inauspicious exterior what lies within is truly exciting.

Meanwhile, it appears that Bang Thai in Bangalow in its current location is no more – so it’s just as well for Bamboo, the new noodle bar up the road and opposite the pub. Owner Cecil ran Gourmet Bay in Byron for about 15 years up until seven years ago, dispensing similar Thai street food. There have been queues outside this little take-away since it opened, with people raving, especially about the duck dishes (there’s a Roast Duck Salad for $16.50 and a Red Duck Curry for $17.90 – how does he manage such low prices, one wonders?). In Byron Bay the Blue Olive Deli has been brought back to life, thanks to new owners Chris Botterill and Jackie Duss. Spick-and-span premises yield a display cabinet ďŹ lled with fantastic cheeses both imported and local alongside the usual gamut of deli offerings and their own salads and baked goods – but one of the best things they are doing is selling cryovac packs of spatchcocked chickens prepared in three ways, designed as a glamorous, inexpensive takehome option. There’s Moroccan in a rub of cumin, turmeric and olive oil; or Cajun smothered in cayenne pepper; or my particular favorite done in a marinade of preserved lemon, fresh oregano and bay leaf. Easily enough to feed four people, they are all free-range, will last in their cryovac packs for up to ten days, and are fantastic either thrown onto a barbecue or roasted in the oven; best of all they cost under $20. Other snippety news might include the fact that it is now possible to sit in the pleasant forecourt of Offshore restaurant further down the road and simply drink (which may in turn lead to staying on for a delicious dinner) in surrounds peaceful and unhurried; or that at Belongil Beach CafĂŠ they are starting to do sexy pizzas from 5pm in the latter part of the week, while next door at Cicada the Sunday night DJ is proving a drawcard. And best value in the Shire must go to the Byron Bay Golf Club where on Thursday nights they offer ‘Cheap Eats’. You don’t even have to know how to play golf in order to sit out on the deck, the serenity of lush green lake-studded landscape before you, and dine on rump steak, or tempura ďŹ sh and chips, or a pasta dish, and pay a silly $9.50 for the pleasure.

Sanctuary ‘We’ve created the type of church that we’ve always wanted,’ Sanctuary cofounder Alison Mackay told The Echo. Growing up the daughters of a Uniting Church minister, both Alison and her sister Kathryn Boorman were looking for a spiritual community that fulfilled the function of the church without the dogma.

sense of the numinous in their lives.

For the last seven years, around thirty people have been gathering on Sunday mornings at 10 am at the Bangalow Catholic Hall for some spiritual nourishment, according to Alison.

In between songs there are readings sourced from diverse traditions, mystics, philosophers and poets, both ancient and modern, according to Alison.

‘I think what we are doing is quite unique,’ she says ‘it’s spirituality without religion – It is not associated with any church, however it embraces many spiritual paths through music, meditation and readings.’ ‘For many local people, Sanctuary is a very important part of their week, a place where they can recharge themselves spiritually and face their week feeling inspired and renewed. I know that many people these days are feeling a gap in their lives, a place that used to be filled by church. Churches no longer fill that need for many spiritual seekers who perhaps do not consider themselves Christians, but still want a

‘We sing songs and chants in three or four parts from many different sources and traditions, from Taize, Africa, American Indian, Buddhist, Hindu, Latin, Maori, Hawaiian and Christian. There are also some songs which I have written, which are proving very popular!’

‘There is no one leader, but different people take turns to lead each week and are responsible for choosing the readings and the topic. Some examples of topics we have had are Living in the present moment, Gratitude, The spirituality of food, Music as a pathway to God and The oneness of everything. We also have a silent meditation time. Sanctuary will be performing at the Starlight Festival on Easter Sunday at 1pm, following their regular 10am service. For those wanting to take part in the regular Sunday gatherings, call Alison Mackay on 6685 3213 or just turn up. All are welcome, and a small donation is asked to help cover the cost of the hall.

Long before there was Gandalf and Sir Ian McKellen, there was Merlin (Prime, Sunday, 7.30pm). Here Miranda Richardson as Queen Mab gives good evil to Rutger Hauer’s Vortigern.

INTERVIEW MANDY NOLAN SPEAKS TO PAUL BARRETT

For the past fifteen years, band leader Paul Barrett has been bringing community together in celebration and noise. He is the man responsible for the Samba Blistas, a community based drumming ensemble that has been leading parades and creating a scene for the past four years. It’s a pretty big project. It’s hard enough to find a time that 4 people can agree on, let alone 45. ‘It’s an organic thing, we have some people who have been part of the Samba Blistas for 4 years and there are people who have been there a couple of weeks. Once they finish the course they can stay with it or not, how much they commit is up to them. It’s a little overwhelming, but it’s a team game – there are lots of people in the communuity who see it for the joy in it.’ Finding the appropriate rehearsal space for such a tumultuous gathering can also prove challenging. ‘I had to find the right place and the Moller Pavillion is perfect, and the local community around here like being slightly entertained from a distance once a week!’ So how does one man manage to bring order and discipline to such an unruly lot?

‘I’m conductor, bully , musical director – I try to allow for them to express themselves. When you finish a piece and everyone is excited there is that moment when everyone will start talking. You have to learn to be diplomatic and allow for that. As a team leader I use a lot of signals – I’ll stand there with my hand in a certain way until I have their attention and then we’ll start the next piece.’ It’s what inspires ordinary people to join such an extraordinary group that interests me most. What is the experience of being a Blista? ‘I’ll give you an example, some people who have just joined, whenever they call me and especially the women say they have been watching us around the area and were driven to tears, because there were all shapes and sizes, something they hadn’t seen in a presentation before, and everyone could have a go, there’s a realness to it – and they are coming to what that means for them.’ The drumming project is what Paul Barrett spent years pioneering in Western Australia. ‘Most events we performed at we were asked back again for 8 years in successon, nothing else could deliver the same thing that incredible sense of community joy – as long as you are having fun – being part of a drumming group is, well it’s like having a party with a drum on!’

Process – pretty much treat the community project – that’s what the Samba Blistas is for me , so I don’t change a lot of the tactics – and create the same sense of celebration as well’ Paul is convinced that drumming together takes people back to their more authentic selves. ‘I think they learn some hidden things about themselves – its like bringing

out their inner child, or the ability to show off and have fun – to have fun as an adult you need to tap into the fun aspect of being a kid. And I think a lot of people discover that they have a musical ability somewhere and it really helps develop a sense of confidence... and connectedness – the cross section of people who have come to these classes, it flabbergasts me where

everyone comes from, it’s a real cross section, various class backgrounds.’ Paul runs two major workshops a year to take in new members for the Samba Blistas – his next workshop will commence in August and enrolment enquiries can be made on 6685 0160. In the meantime the Samba Blistas are preparing themselves for their most prestigious show to date – when the crew take to the stage to play the last part of the show with Narasirato

from the Solomon Islands. For Paul it’s also a chance to collaborate with his old musical partner, the group’s Aussie mentor, Peter Keelan. This will be a wonderful night and a chance to support the performers towards raising money to build a cultural centre in their village in the Solomon Islands.

The UN Security Council recently voted for sanctions on Iran. Sanctions on armaments exports, and freezing of the assets of organisations involved in Iran’s nuclear and missile programs, are allegedly required because Iran has refused to stop enriching uranium. But it seems more like a plan to make Iran isolated and vulnerable to impending US aggression. Trumped-up charges, that bombs used against US patrols in Iraq are made in Iran, are based on shady evidence from unnamed sources, and parroted by a

media highly trained in delivering false propaganda. Accompanying these are blatant provocations, such as US military raids on Iranian government ofďŹ ces in Iraq, and armed abduction of Iranian ofďŹ cials. Intense diplomatic activity lately by US ofďŹ cials in Jordan, Egypt and Saudi Arabia, as well as Israel, is clearly aimed at building an anti-Iranian alliance. Meanwhile the military buildup in the Persian Gulf is proceeding apace with 50 warships already stationed in the area. Bush claims that the US has no plans to attack Iran. Perhaps he hopes to menace Iran into capitulation by threats and thuggery. But it is increasingly apparent that Washington’s policy is driven by a gang of warcrazed criminals setting the forces in motion for another US war. Jillian Watt

Better informed This week I, along with thousands of other shire residents, was surveyed by a Bureau of Statistics ofďŹ cer. Facts on employment, or lack of, water saving devices

etc, was sought. I was informed that one leaking tap can waste over 10,000 litres of water a year. Old shower heads use double that of the new AAA rated ones (a full bucketful a minute). I asked the lady if she realised that water waste from every house in this shire,could not equal the three million litres of water leaking from our Councilrun swimming pool. (This fact was advised by a consultant in 2001 and it is still leaking!) With an election coming up, I also asked if she knew that this country was one of the worst polluters in the world yet still insists on digging out more and more coal and uranium, adding to the world’s air pollution and cancer. With households in Australia accounting for less than a ďŹ fth of the greenhouse gas emissions, I suggested her presence was purely a political exercise. I’m sure she left much better informed than when she arrived! Tony Narracott

Breakthrough I ďŹ nd myself regularly tortured by what humans have done to the planet but I had a bit of a breakthrough on the despair thing yesterday. A Dr Che (pronounced ‘hee’ or close to that) was on ABC or SBS last night. He’s Chinese born, an Australian citizen and did his PhD at NSW University in solar stuff. He started a company in China, Suntec (or Suntek), ďŹ ve years ago making solar panels and already his company is worth $6 billion. He’s a really astute man (in many ways I reckon – I liked him) and he was at one

stage in his penthouse ofďŹ ce in Hong Kong and looking out the window and the ďŹ lth and pollution was so heavy that it was unbelievable that any living thing could survive in it and Dr Che said that within ďŹ ve years this will be clean and running on solar and that his company will be the utility company collecting the fees – not oil, gas or coal but solar. I liked him even though he was in there for the mega bucks (which he’ll get) he seemed to have a real passion for the health of the planet – he really did seem sincere. I reckon from lots of the stuff that I’m hearing, reading and seeing that there really is (ďŹ nally) a shift happening and who knows what can be done – never give in to despair there are always breakthroughs. Anything’s possible. Hannah Grace

Sleepwalking It’s obvious to me post NSW election that the Australian population is sleepwalking to climate disaster. They have lost sight of the huge climatic forces that threaten future planetary security. None of the major political parties offered to apply the brakes to stem the inevitable slide to extinction. Possibly ignorance of the electoral-political system left many voters with no viable choice. This ignorance also results in a lot of the numerous non-voters from signing onto the electoral roll.

Every piece of information helps Terrorists rely on surprise, so there’s no definitive list, however local and overseas experience has given us some possible warning signs to look out for. Examples include:

•Unusual surveillance, videotaping or photography of official buildings, energy installations and important sites •Vehicles parked near significant buildings or in busy public places for long periods of time •Packages or bags abandoned in public places such as malls, buildings or train stations •Suspicious purchases or possession of large quantities of fertilizer, chemicals or explosives •Unusual uses of accommodation such as garages being used at odd times of the day or night

Small pieces of information from members of the public can help keep Australia safe from terrorism. Police and security agencies are working hard but you could help them complete the picture.

SOME YEARS AGO a group of Mullumbimby ladies began meeting for coffee on a Saturday morning at the Middle Pub. This group has since grown to some 30 ladies, many of whom walked under the banner of The Mullumbimbos at the Relay for Life team event to fight cancer recently held in Bangalow. From our group, a big thanks to many local businesses for their generosity in kindly donating towards our various fundraisers. A total of $4024 was raised and will go towards helping cancer sufferers.

Sports Roundup with John Campbell

Sport’s sweet bounty soured by strange fruit John Campbell Somebody lit a candle at the extraordinary meeting of Lismore Council last week and the previously rejected application to use the city’s ovals for an Aboriginal rugby league carnival in October was passed. Pre-empting debate, the mayor, Merv King, had earlier knocked it back on the grounds that an influx of 5,000 people would be too much for existing infrastructure and accommodation. It was a different story in February. Everybody was as pleased as Punch when the NRL trial between the Titans and the Eels and a crowd of 10,000 came to town. It’s too easy to make the knee-jerk charge of racism, but it’s also pretty hard not to. Racism is a blight on any society. Contrary to our leaders, who deny it as they blow the dog whistle that reaps for them bigotry’s vote, it shows no sign of disappearing in Australia (or anywhere else, for that matter). If what occurs on a regular basis in sport is anything to go by, it is as virulent as ever. Examples of inclusiveness are as numerous as those of vilification, but it’s the latter that are heard loudest and copied by impressionable wannabes. Darren Lehmann, the good bloke who was with

David Hookes when he got in that fatal drunken punchup with the pub bouncer, was not at all gruntled when a Sri Lankan fieldsman had the temerity to run him out in a one-dayer. ‘Black cunt,’ Lehmann spat. It’s an expression normally favoured by footballers Souths’ former captain Bryan Fletcher hurled it at Dean Widders (now with the Bunnies) and Justin Harrison, playing for the Waratahs in 2005, shocked the tweed-jacketed old boys by using it to describe some upstart kaffir who had similarly got in his way. It’s not racism they all claim, genuinely astounded that it could be construed as such. It’s just something that gets blurted out in... wait for it ... the heat of battle. The lamest of defences, it’s frequently accompanied by the equally cretinous ‘what happens on the field stays on the field.’ As though behaviour in the sporting arena is exempt from standards of common decency. Surely it is the opposite? Should we not expect lauded athletes to exhibit humanity’s finer qualities? If they don’t, then the games they play are trashed. Nor is the scourge peculiar to us roughneck colonials. Our betters in the Old World are no slouches at racial abuse themselves,

some of it hateful enough to make even Lehmann, Fletcher and Harrison blanch. In European football, racism is rampant. Neo-fascist groups have infiltrated the outer and turned many fan blocs into verbal lynch mobs. Enormously wealthy

A smashing future for young Gene

After two dominating rounds in the regional under 12 junior development tennis series at Ballina, Mullum’s Gene Healey (pictured) has joined the Australian Institute of Sport Regional Tennis Squad situated in Coffs Harbour. Gene turned twelve in February, meeting the final criterion of the Coffs squad, for which he had been earmarked by talent scouts. At the Ballina tournament he contested eight round robin sets and lost only six games, taking the final 6-1.

His performance was a clear indicator to selectors that he is a young man with serious potential to be a future Australian representative. Gene was then included in the regional squad to compete at the Junior National Age Championships in Brisbane over Easter. ‘I’ve been training and playing about two and a half hours a day and I’d like to do more. I’m determined to do the best I can ... I’m a bit obsessed, I guess,’ he concedes, grinning broadly. ‘That’s what

Mum reckons anyway.’ Gene has been playing tennis with the Mullum Tennis Club since he was five and has been taking part in the seniors’ competitions since he was ten. ‘I play the Friday night juniors for fun and to be with my friends, but it’s the men’s comp that pushes me. They used to be a bit gentle with me at first, but that doesn’t seem to happen anymore. I’d whoop them too easy if they did!’ Gene adds, his laughter revealing the kid who is having the time of his life.

clubs such as Lazio in Italy, Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid seem incapable of countering the poison, despite the pecuniary actions taken against them by their ruling bodies. The great Cameroonian player Samuel Eto’o is still as likely to be met with monkey calls

whenever he plays away from Barcelona. A paltry if common rejoinder is ‘they do it too,’ and let’s not dodge the issue. Racism is not peculiar to whites. In Zimbabwe, where yesmen of the murderous autocrat Robert Mugabe are eve-

rywhere in the ascendancy, in a recent series against Sri Lanka no white player was picked in the team. The immediate decline of Zimbabwe’s performances meant that some have reluctantly been recalled, but, for their outspokenness, the country’s finest, Andy Flower, Heath Streak and Tatenda Taibu were ostracised and not discouraged from leaving the country. The national side is now a laughing stock. In the Orient, the Japanese, ever inscrutable, prop up their racism with the same argument they use to defend their slaughter of whales. It’s all about an inalienable right to ensure the survival of their culture (there’s that word again). Unimpressed, the UN Human Rights Commission called on the Japan Sumo Association to abandon its regulations which were seen to be a bulwark of racial discrimination. Within days, the Association told the UN to stick their human rights up their wasabe and that, based upon race, the sport would continue to limit the number of non-Japanese wrestlers. Discrimination based on skin colour diminishes us all. Lismore Council, by overturning the mayor’s veto, has done well in an attempt to counter it.

No props for running rugby Matt Alexander Saturday saw eight men’s and four women’s teams compete in Byron Bay for the Rugby Tens Coast Cup. Six local village competition teams were joined by Mullumbimby and a newly formed Gold Coast side in the men’s draw with three Brisbane Women’s sides playing with the Byron Women’s team. The day saw plenty of open running rugby with all sides displaying great early season flair by the simple expedient of leaving their props at home. Brisbane

Wests strolled into the Women’s final with Goodna and Pine River fighting a close game with Goodna going through to the final. The Women’s final saw the strong Brisbane side roll over the Goodna girls who, despite losing the final, impressed all with their style of play and willingness to help the other sides out. The men’s A Pool was dominated by Evans Head while in Pool B Mullumbimby and Bangalow fought down to the last game to see who would face Evans. The men’s final saw a youthful Evans

Head side go down in a ver y close match to Mullumbimby, who displayed excellent pre-season form in the runup to defend their second grade title. The skills on show from the young Evans side and from the other Village teams bode well for the coming Village Competition of 2007. The greatest effort of the day however was from two of the Byron women’s team, Elle and Jasmine Woods, who not only played seven games in hot conditions but also completed a six hour charity walk that night.

Rams charge into soccer final The Rams travelled to Goonellabah needing to beat Maclean to make the final of the ANZAC Cup. The revelry of the previous night’s jersey presentations at the Great Northern told on the Rams as they were sluggish at first and fell behind 0-1. This seemed to stun the Rams into action and Todd had a few long range shots and then hit the post. When Thiargo was

brought down in the penalty area Aaron Richter Steers converted the penalty for 11, the half time score. In the second stanza the Rams assumed the ascendancy and Tom Ruhl was on hand to pounce on a dropped ball by the Maclean goalkeeper and slot it into the net for 2-1. Maclean responded by going straight up the other end and after a long throw converted their chance for

2-2. The game went into extra time and Maclean once again took the lead for 3-2. But the Bay wasn’t finished and a marvellous shot from Bruce Morhaus saw him bring the scores level again. With minutes remaining the Rams grabbed the lead through Tom Ruhl’s second goal to come away 4-3 winners and take their place in the ANZAC Cup final, to be played on ANZAC Day.

Kids learn from Aussie rules For too many years it’s been a case of terriďŹ c effort but no cigar for the Bangalow XI in their quest to take out the second grade cricket championship. Three years ago, Rob Parkes returned to Bangalow with a mission – to change the tide of history and help the side attain its elusive goal. Rob’s previous experience in ďŹ rst grade was to prove invaluable throughout the season. Peaking at the perfect time, the boys ďŹ nally had good reason to celebrate when they downed Byron Bay in the ďŹ nal. Byron batted first and were limited to 9-174 at the close of play on day one. Bangalow’s bowling attack toiled magnificently, with Troy Harris, Aaron Simp-

son, Joel Rudgley and Sunil Singh in particular giving little away with their unerring accuracy. Nathan Phelps, Dave Altamara and Anthony Smith provided stubborn resistance for the Bay, but Byron were all out for 178 on the second day. Intermittent rain throughout the day threatened the outcome, with the wicket needing to be covered twice. Under difficult circumstances, the umpires made an appreciated contribution by allowing the battle to continue despite the inclement weather and, to ensure a result, the game was reduced to 53 overs. Pressure began to build almost immediately. Rob batted well in deteriorating conditions but was denied a deserved half

century when given out lbw for 47. It was left to Darren Wright to steer the side home and, batting with great patience and skill, he provided the backbone of the team’s reply, his 61 not out proving to be the decisive innings of a hard fought game. With the rain falling and two overs to spare, Bangalow were, at last, the champs. The victorious Bangalow team: Rob Parkes (capt), Troy Harris, Darren Wright, Nick Vale, Sunil Singh, Joel Rudgley, Alex Milenko, Dave Moulton, Dalpreet Singh, Aaron Simpson and Dustin Rudgley. Mention must also be made of Adam Meads and Ben Pederson who played through the season but were unavailable for the ďŹ nals.

Semi-final action at the regional schools AFL playoffs at the Brunswick Heads Public School. The young Bangalow Public School AFL team had a baptism of fire in their encounter and, though playing well, were unable to get over the top of Bruns,

who went on to win the final. All players agreed that the most important thing was the game – having fun, playing well and showing good sportsmanship. They’re looking forward to their next outing and now training just that little bit harder.

Backlash amazing boy with a bright future in politics. Q Q Q Q Kudos to Southern Cross University, which will soon take delivery of three new electric vehicles – saving about twenty four tonnes of carbon dioxide from being released into the atmosphere annually. The vehicles, which will arrive next month, are part of the University’s ongoing commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and working towards environmental sustainability, said Mike Cooper, director of Facilities Management and Services. The University’s car pool eet, as well as many other vehicles held by various departments, has already been changed to four-cylinder vehicles.

One of our drudges got the shock of her life when her car burst into ames just after she and her daughter got out of it – then it burnt to the ground. The cause? Rats had made a nest inside it and chewed through electrical wires, allowing sparks to reach dry leaves. It’s a good reason for local punters, especially round maca plantations where rats love to hang out, to check under the bonnet now and then for rodent hitchhikers. Q Q Q Q Does scufing with a government minister give you extra brownie points in the National Party? It seems that way, with Andrew Fraser – who abused Joe Tripodi in Parliament – getting the nod over Our Don for the deputy

leadership, despite his brilliant showing at the polls. Perhaps Mr Page should learn the Liverpool Kiss and nut the Minister for Derailing Trains the next time he’s in the electorate. Q Q Q Q Thanks to Sophia, 8, and Charlie, 6, for pointing out the oodlights at the Ewingsdale roundabout were on continuously during the day. The powers-that-be have now turned them off. Well done! Q Q Q Q We note that Cherie Burton is stepping down from the NSW ministry and this comment in her news release: ‘My ďŹ rst priority is raising my son, who is still only 7 months old and representing the people of Kogarah.’ An
