Sad riff for garage band as much loved mentor dies

School of rock seeks teacher Story & photo Lou Beaumont If I was to ever entertain the notion of regret it would be with regard to quitting ballet when I was seven. My inspiring and compassionate teacher had died and with her my desire to continue. A young local garage band, made up of three boys of 11 years; Will Peters (drums), Sam King (guitar) and Nathaniel Wareing (bass guitar) and one 13 year old, Talib Bench-Kanjou (guitar); have recently lost their band leader and mentor, Bill Crooks. Bill, a private guitar tutor to three of the boys, helped form the four boys into a garage band only months ago. They were meeting each week at Bill’s house in South Golden Beach to perform rock ’n roll’ covers and were doing really well. However, several weeks ago their motivating teacher passed away suddenly at 46 years old, leaving the boys missing their friend and with limited guidance to continue their passion for music. Bill also had a plan to add a vocalist to

the group, and the boys agreed they needed the melody. Guitarist Sam said, ‘I was crying my head off when I heard. It was really weird, I didn’t believe it at first, it was all so sudden. He was so keen to get us into music and really encouraging of our stuff.’ The boys and their parents all agree Bill was a multi-talented musician. Bill played guitar, sax and drums and played in a band himself when he was younger. The boys told how he ‘really felt’ the music and loved music. His passion for music was obviously contagious with all four boys keen to continue in the band and find someone a mentor who is as Nathaniel put it, ‘as experienced and inspirational as Bill.’ Thirteen year old Talib said, ‘His solos were amazing, so fast you could barely see his fingers.’ Drummer Will said, ‘Bill was such a nice guy, all of us liked him immediately.’ Will’s mum, Virginia, said ‘Bill

A mellow MardiGrass

was so energetic, he had so much full on energy to give. It was a big shock to the boys when Bill passed away. They lost a rare mentor and it seemed inevitable the band would fall apart. They are still meeting, in some ways to honour Bill’s memory, but it is not the same without Bill.’ ‘He really made them believe in themselves and their musical ability’, said Talib’s mum, Linda Bench. Anne Wareing, Nathaniel’s mum, agreed, ‘He was incredibly dynamic and inspirational. He made the boys feel like they could all be superstars. The band is so important to them. It would be everything to them if they could just stay together and play music. Bill was the glue that held them all together.’ ‘Bill was just so giving – so unbelievably generous with his time and energy’, commented Fiona King, guitarist Sam’s mum. continued on page 2

The street parade was one of the highlights of the annual Nimbin MardiGrass last weekend. By most accounts it was a mellow event, with police regarding the crowd as generally well behaved. Among the festival themes was ‘Hemp Cools Global Warming.’ Michael Balderstone, spokesperson for the MardiGrass Organising Body, said, ‘In Nimbin we are acutely aware of the global warming issue, the whole reason Nimbin’s alternative community happened was because of our concern for what we were doing to the planet. Were hippies the first tribe to warn of global warming? Maybe, acting as the canaries for the environment our warnings went largely unheeded, now look at the mess we’re in!’ Dr Keith Bolton led a forum at the hemp expo in Peace Park explaining the role hemp could play in reducing greenhouse gases. ‘If only our politicians would let us,’ added Mr Beaumont.

Seas the day at underwater festival Byron Bay’s newest event, the Underwater Festival, running May 10 to 13, promises to be just the type of tourism event that Byron needs, according to the vice president of Byron United. ‘It will attract the highyield, low-impact visitors that we want,’ said James Lancaster. ‘And it will fill a space in the annual calendar during our “quiet� time.’ Byron United’s tourism cell is sponsoring the festival in its early stages, through funds allocated from the merger of Tourism Byron with Byron United. ‘We feel that such a good idea as this warrants support, particularly as it’s difficult to obtain financial backing in the first year of any event,’ said Mr Lancaster. ‘The Underwater Festival will add positively to Byron Bay’s image around Australia and overseas.’ While Julian Rocks and the Bay will be the focus of the event, no more boats than usual will be leaving The Pass. In addition, the festival will include competi-

tions, exhibitions, presentations and displays, all taking place on dry land. At Julian Rocks tropical and temperate currents meet, resulting in a unique mixture of marine life including three species of turtles, various rays and friendly

sharks and over 500 other species of fish. Macro life is also abundant with nudibranchs, crabs and snails, various coral and sponge species as well as sea stars, feather stars and urchins. Another festival highlight will be the Underwater Fes-

tival Art Competition including a launch event at Mary Ryan’s Byron Bay on Friday May 11. This event is being organised with the help of Retrospect Galleries. For more information visit www.underwaterfestival. com.au.

National day of action to protect whales Whale lovers across the country are coming together for a National Day of Action (NDA) to help Protect Whales on Saturday May 12. NDA Byron and The Humpback Whale Migration Icon Project coordinator Howie Cooke said, ‘The NDA is a platform for the whale watching industry and coastal communities to send a strong message to the Australian government that Japan’s “scientific� whaling program is unacceptable and to urge the Australian government to take legal action against Japan to put an end to whaling. ‘Diplomacy has failed and more talk will not convince Japan to stop killing whales. At the end of 2007, and for the first time in 30 years, Japan wants to add 50 humpback whales to their menu.

Time is running out to save the whales that swim past our shores. Despite a global moratorium on whaling, during the past 18 years more than 25,000 whales have been killed.’ In Byron Bay, people will meet at the Peace Pole near the Surf Club at 11.45am on Saturday for one minute’s silence to remember the whales that have died at the hands of man and to pray for their protection. Local aboriginal custodians will open the event and Major Jan Barham and other whale activists have been invited to address the crowd. There will be marine sand modelling throughout the day and at 2pm the best sculpture will win a free whale watching trip with Bay Dive shop. Trish and Wally Franklin,

founders and directors of The Oceania Project who are involved with the The Humpback Whale Migration Icon Project, will be giving a whale presentation at Byron Bay Community centre on Friday at 5pm. Following at 6pm Howie Cooke and Dean Jefferys will be talking about the latest issues affecting whales and the Flight of the Humpback project – www.flightofthehumpback. org. They will also be showing some recent whale clips. This is a free event. NDA occurs simultaneously with the Humpback Whale Migration Icon Project which helps and encourages coastal councils and their communities along the eastern seaboard of Australia to celebrate the annual humpback whale migration

by ‘adopting’ a known named whale as their local whale. This project will support the creation and unfurling of a large banner announcing the local adopted whale and greeting the whole migration. Last year Byron Bay adopted ‘Yumbalehla’, a large female humpback, as its iconic whale.

Virginia Peters said, ‘Their aim was to get a gig at the Brunswick by the end of the year. My husband Rodd, Will’s dad, has been supporting the boys and keeping them motivated and practicing in the interim, but it would be great to find another wonderful teacher like Bill.’ If there is anyone who has a passion for inspiring kids who would be interested in meeting the band with a view to teaching/mentoring the boys, please contact Virginia Peters on 6684 7660.

Local News Women’s business: new program launch

Photo Lou Beaumont

Mandy Nolan We are a community renowned for our innovation, for turning humble market stalls into empires, sweet organic chillis into mouth altering jams, baby slings into online eco-friendly enterprise. As women leave the workplace to have children, more and more of them are opting to create their own home businesses rather than return to their previous employment. So what happens when your business is ready to leave the garage and tackle a wider market? The Department of State and Regional Development has funded a new initiative, The Women in Business Regional Program, launched last Friday night at the Bangalow Bowling Club with guest speakers Julie Scott, who presented on behalf of the Minister for Small Business Lois Kelly and Jill Eddington of North Coast Arts and ex Byron Bay Writer’s Festival director who spoke on creative thought in business. Gillian Jones, the Tweed

Regional Manager for NORBAS (Northern Rivers Business Advisory Service) said the program was aimed at growing the diversity of business we have in the area. ‘The mentoring program is making best use of the seachange and treechange older women coming to the area who are helping younger business women to become more successful. We want to make use of the enormous amount of skills we have pouring into the area, and we are discovering that a lot of people coming here to semiretire are a little bit bored.’ According to Ms Jones, women are more willing to share information. ‘We are a lot more transparent with our information and are a lot more ready to share our contacts and secrets. This is important because a lot of women work in isolation so it’s important to share your optimism and develop strong working relationships.’ Home businesses are becoming the choice of more and more women, Ms Jones said, because of the flexibility

of the working hours and the prospect of becoming financially independent. Our local markets also provide the perfect microsystem for testing the commercial viability and appeal of new products. ‘Most people need hand holding when they are growing their business. We find there are incremental steps, it takes about three years to get your feet off the ground, then you start employing staff and then you have to start expanding your market. ‘Then your whole business model changes to managing staff and managing the future direction of the business, rather than actually working in your business.’ The Thursday workshops provided mentoring for 40 local business women who will meet with them regularly to provide support and inspiration. If you have a business and would like to get involved in future programs, contact www.norbas.com.au.

700 set for Byron Bay Triathlon The 12th annual Byron Bay Triathlon kicks off on Saturday May 12 at 1pm from Main Beach. The event features a 1500m ocean swim, 40km cycle and a 10km road run. Seven hundred competitors are set to take part in the race, including world class athletes such as the Gold Coast’s Luke McKenzie and Rebekah Keat, as well as Lennox Head local Pip Taylor. The youngest competitor to enter the race is 17 and the oldest competitor is 71. The once humble triathlon has grown to be quite a significant event on the Byron Bay calendar with many competitors travelling from overseas to take part in the event, including competitors from Ireland, USA, Fiji and a Samoan athlete who is using the Byron Bay triathlon as a trial/qualifier to get into the South Pacific Games. Many competitors believes there is uniqueness to the Byron Bay Triathlon that sets it apart from other events. ‘It’s definitely seen as one of the events on the calendar and many people identify it as being a bit different because of its afternoon start and old fashioned friendliness compared to the corporate style of many other events,’ says one regular competitor. The Coopers end of season party and awards ceremony will be held in the Backroom of the Hotel Great Northern from 7pm, Saturday evening. Live entertainment, everyone is welcome. Major sponsors of the event are the Hotel Great Northern, Coopers, Becton, Byron Village Apartments and Work Directions.

of waste going to landfill by offering recycling at the event. It is anticipated that over 8,000 people will attend the event on Sunday May 20 on the main street of Bangalow. Tony Heeson from the Billy Cart Derby said, ‘In the past our waste was piled together and just went to the tip. This year, we aim to successfully recover 50% for recycling with the help of the Waste Wise Events program we are implementing.’ To help the systems work, Tony encourages participants on the day ‘to look out for the recycling stations scattered down the street. Each bin station will comprise a waste and a recycling bin. ‘All drink containers including aluminum cans, glass, plastic bottles and paper cups can go in the recycling bin.’ He went on to say that the result of all the behind the scenes effort will be a litter free family event, ‘packed with fun and the knowledge that we have acted in an environmentally responsible way’. The Billy Cart Derby is participating in the North East Waste Forum’s Waste Wise Events project which is working with seven events across four councils in 2007 to develop Waste Wise Management Plans for events. For more information about the project go to www.northeastwasteforum.org.au.

Walking safely to school Friday May 4 was Walk Safely to School Day. The initiative is managed by the Pedestrian Council of Australia and supported by the NSW and Australian Governments. It aims to encourage our children to walk to school each day, promoting health, road safety, public transport and the environment. Lisa Parkes, local fitness instructor, parent and founder of ‘Yummy Mummy Fitness’ is the local ambassador of the scheme. She, and her fellow parents, would like to encourage parents, who may currently drive their children to school, to walk with their kids instead. Ms Parkes said, ‘We hope this initiative will help motivate families to develop regular walking habits and get healthier together. I believe encouraging kids to be active during childhood will result in them maintaining a healthy lifestyle into Lisa Parkes (front right) and fellow parents walk their children safely down the Bangalow main street.

Lions help out intervention service Story & photo Hans Lovejoy Byron Shire Early Intervention Service received $1500 from The Byron Bay Lions Club this week. Zoe Webster, Director of the Early Intervention Service, told The Echo ‘The Lions Club recently established a trust fund for the building and have generously donated $1500 to start our fundraising efforts.’ In 1998 the Service placed a successful submission to construct a building through the Department of Education and Training (Capital Works Funding), according to Ms Webster. ‘The building is to be constructed at Suffolk Park and will also include the Byron Bay Preschool and Toy Library.’ Despite the Lions Club involvement, the Service still needs more funds to operate. ‘Our service has been undergoing major financial difficulties over the past two years,’ says Ms Webster, ‘due to the withdrawal of rent funding by the Department of Aged, Disability and Home Care (DADHC) and delays in allocation of land for the proposed new building.’ After a lengthy process the building is now estimated to be due for completion in 2008. Byron Shire Early Childhood Intervention Service is a non profit organisation that

with the club for 17 years and has lived in the area for the last seven. ‘We came up from Manly in Sydney, and moved up here to escape the noise, air and traffic. I love Byron for its slower pace,’ he said. Kerry has children and grandchildren here. ‘Actually, after my kids moved up here my wife made the ultimatum – I’m moving up even if you’re not!’ Primarily the Club raises money for charities through in-house raffles and BBQs but is also involved with larger projects, according to Kerry. ‘Apart from Early Childhood Intervention Service, we raise money for The Craft Fair at Christmas, The Westpac Helicopter, The Taste of Byron Carnival [to be held September 22] and an orphanage in Thailand.’ Yaowawit School, Kapong, is a government-approved welfare boarding school in the South of Thailand. ‘The Lions Club committed to sponsor a child for a year which includes all medical, educational and fostering care,’ said Fiona Parsons, Yaowawit School volunteer coordinator. Fiona will be returning May 30 to continue working for the orphanage. For more information visit www.childrensworldacade my. c o m or email yaowawitoz@hotmail.com.

Local News

Out to change the world through film Story & photo Lou Beaumont In an initiative of Film Australia and SBS, nine filmmaking teams around the state have been selected (from 96 entries) to make short films that bring to life the concept Change the World in Five Minutes. The chosen submissions include five-minute documentaries, four-minute dramas and 30-second animations, all with a vision to make a difference to the world locally or globally. Chosen film concepts include those of fish finger energy consumption, shopping trolley makeovers, and children plotting to change the habits of their parents. Change the World in Five Minutes – Every Day at School is one of the nine chosen submissions and is a project written and directed by Tristan Bancks, a Bangalow novelist, filmmaker, columnist, film reviewer and actor. Produced by Wendy Gray, a TV producer who has specialised in children’s TV and worked for ABC TV for 12 years, it was the only non-metropolitan film in the initiative.The short documentary was shot over two days last week at Bangalow Public School featuring pupils from stage three. Tristan Bancks said, ‘In the film, the Bangalow pupils will show that kids can contribute to making this a better place to live, and hopefully the film will inspire other schools to

follow suit. ‘Kids are a powerful tool, and possibly our only hope if we are to change the future of the planet. They tend to be a huge influence on their parents and if their habits change then it is likely that the habits of their parents will. too, or else be shown up

by their own children! ‘The kids from Bangalow Public were really keen to participate in the project. They were motivated and at an age where they were not too cynical. I was blown away by how professional they were.’ Tristan’s inspiration came from many sources, but in

particular Al Gore’s movie An Inconvenient Truth. ‘I wanted to turn the inspiration, the facts and the statistics from the movie into actions. I wanted to base my film on really simple, doable stuff. I felt I could help promote the idea that we can do what we can with what we’ve got. I don’t believe people have to wait to be in a position of power or wealth to do their bit. You don’t have to be a president or a prime minister to make change, just be kind, share the love and the concepts, and do your small part.’ The film initiative, inspired by the book Change The World For Ten Bucks, has been made by Film Australia, SBS Digital Media, the Australian Film TV and Radio School and the NSW Film and Television Office (FTO). The film will screen later this year on SBS and will feature on the SBS website. Tristan also would like to take his film on a schools tour, and hopes kids from schools nationwide (or worldwide) will tap into the website to find inspiration. Tristan Bancks is running a one day screenwriting workshop based on the concept ‘Change the World in Five Minutes’ for children ten years and over on June 2. Please contact Susie at the Writers Centre on 6685 5115 or susie@nrwc.org.au.

Making a positive journey through cancer Last October local artist, writer and filmmaker Geraldine Bigelow was diagnosed with a very aggressive invasive breast cancer which had spread to her lymphatic system. Having lost five members of her immediate family who chose to treat the disease with Western surgery and oncology, she knew she had to approach it in a different way. ‘I had, you see, nursed my mother through such an oncology battle ground and basically watched her survive poorly from one operation to the next until she was hacked, poisoned and, in my opinion, tortured to death,’ said Geraldine. ‘I felt I just had to say no to such a brutal and aggressive approach. I chose to appreciate that cancer had come to save my life and so I started on the disciplined road to self- healing.’ This has been an interesting and curvy ride as Geraldine found herself branded mad and ‘castigated from the altar of empowerment out to the hell realms to die an “horrendous death� by specialist oncology! I have had friends and even alternative practitioners berate my

ignorance and lack of responsibility.’ Geraldine acknowledges that Western medicine works for certain conditions and with certain personalities, but is emphatic that not enough alternative options are presented to patients who do not even know there is another way to treat disease. Geraldine’s approach has entailed a front line of detoxification and organ support along with hormone clearance minerals, electric and magnetic pulse therapy, diet changes, lifestyle changes, energy work and lots of meditation and spiritual cleansing. On the creative front she has embraced the opportunity to make a documentary of her treatment approach in the hope that she could ‘inspire other patients to open up all the possibilities for their healing and not just accept a take away solution from the pharmaceutical establishment.’ She and local filmmaker Aliison Kelly won the audience award at a recent Screenworks pitch night and plan to continue with the documentary throughout Geraldine’s healing journey.

‘I am determined not to crumble under the auspices of fear that the authorities use to control us,’ said Geraldine, ‘In this way, medicine is no different to politics and media control in general.’ As Geraldine continued along her own path she started meeting many practitioners who have believed that her approach to nurture was far more appropriate to an aggressive disease and they have supported her fully. To Geraldine’s surprise one of this special and select team happens to be an oncologist. ‘He is a Mexican man named Carlos Orozco, who took my case on after I presented with rapid growth and metastasis from hormone cream. He respected my decision to treat naturally and started wo r k i n g a supplementary protocol into the one I had already been diligently practising. Carlos has never charged me and tries to source everything for me as cheaply as possible. ‘This is so important because approaching cancer alternatively means you have no financial support through Medicare and the products t h e m s e l ve s can be

prohibitively expensive – especially when you have to take them in massive doses over many years. Carlos does not believe anyone should profit from illness and that the patient’s energy should be focused on healing rather than financial ruin!’ Carlos has decided to help Geraldine muster help in her local community by doing a sponsored 10km swim to raise funds and awareness for her case. ‘This is no mean feat as Carlos suffered polio as a child and is no athlete.’ Carlos will be taking to the waters on May 13 in Brisbane with an official timekeeper and a documentary film crew recording his efforts. All sponsorship and support can be directed to Geraldine at gebigelow@bigfoot.com or deposited directly through Paypal using the same email address. ‘I have chosen life over the wounded history that has claimed my family members and it is with immense gratitude and love that I request the support of my community to help return me to total health as Nature would have intended it,’ says Geraldine.

Comment

A trick worthy of Houdini Vol 21 #47

May 8, 2007

What we need A federal government keen to make up some brownie points with the public will be targeting the family in its budget tonight (May 8). As part of the pre-election bidding war we can expect more childcare and health benefits. Having recently discovered the environment, the government will throw a bit more at renewable energies and at various dying ecosystems. The poor will also get some trinkets – a disaffected underclass can be dangerous. The Echo’s founding editor Nicholas Shand often said it was a measure of a society how well it treated the less privileged. Compared to many parts of the world, including the USA, Australia is fortunate in this regard but our ‘safety net’ – especially in the areas of health care, education and protection for the unemployed – is decidedly worn and frayed. The cults of war and money have a firm grip in too many societies and it’s a long way back to behaving decently to others and looking after your own. The Northern Rivers Social Development Council has set out its wishlist for the north coast. It points out the bleeding obvious – improving the availability of affordable childcare; increasing access to basic health services including dental care and home care for older people; increasing the supply of low cost housing; working to improve the job prospects and incomes of disadvantaged jobseekers; improving access for people with disability; significantly increasing funding for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities; and developing a whole-of-government anti-poverty plan. ‘With a huge surplus expected, the government has the funds to invest in the services and support that our community needs,’ said NRSDC president Jenny Dowell. ‘Access to dental services in the region is a priority. Public dental services are unable to cope with demand and our children have amongst the highest rates of dental decay in the country. Action to address the region’s growing affordability crisis in housing is another priority for NRSDC. ‘There is a growing number of homeless people on the North Coast and we need the government to dramatically step up funding for crisis accommodation through the Supported Accommodation Assistance Program. We also need funding to develop more affordable housing options for low and middle income earners who are in housing stress. ‘Essential workers in our community like nurses, childcare workers, agricultural workers, emergency services workers, are being pushed out of the region by the excessive cost of housing,’ said Ms Dowell. With high levels of unemployment and even higher levels of underemployment in the region, increased assistance for jobseekers is another priority. ‘We would like increased training support for jobless people through access to the Work Skills program, increased Austudy payments so that job seekers are encouraged into education and more intensive support to assist long term job seekers.’ Ms Dowell concludes by hoping ‘the politicians are listening and preparing to act.’ We hope so, too, and in the state government as well. Otherwise the ongoing Seachange phenomenon will lead to a larger accommodation crisis for those unable to pay ridiculous rents and, as Ms Dowell has pointed out, to the loss of essential skills from the region.

W

hen his opponents descr ibe John Howard as a clever politician, they don’t mean clever like Stephen Hawking; they mean clever like Peter Foster – a master fraudster, mean, tricky and cunning as a sewer rat. And in the past our Prime Minister has pulled off some beauties: the occupation of the Lodge, the Republican referendum, children overboard, the war in Iraq, and the great interest rates swindle, to mention just a few of the high points. But it must be doubted that he has ever run a better one past the gullible Australian public than last week’s apparent flip flop on WorkChoices. What has been widely interpreted as a backdown was, seen correctly, a trick worthy of Houdini at his best. To understand why we have to go back a few months, to the end of Howard’s advertising blitz on WorkChoices. Perhaps because the campaign was based on a big lie – the working conditions described as ‘protected by law’ were in fact there to be ripped away by unscrupulous employers – this turned out to be $55 million worth of misappropriated taxpayer money down the drain. A further $2 million was spent on surveying the effects of the campaign; corruptly, the result has never been released, but if the opinion polls are any guide it showed that the public were utterly unconvinced. WorkChoices was seen, correctly, as a device to lower wages and strip away working conditions. In particular the so-called Australian Workplace Agreements, far from providing a platform for individual employees to negotiate on equal terms with their

bosses (a preposterous idea in the first place) turned out to be instruments through which the bosses could remove the hard-won gains of the last century with the stroke of a pen, to offer their helpless workers a take-it-or-leave it contract of previously unthinkable brutality. There are some who can turn the system to their advantage: professionals and others whose skills are in short supply, like experienced miners, are able to drive worthwhile bargains, as always has been and always

lion fiasco could hardly be justified even under the most elastic definition of ‘public information’. An appeal to business to fund such a campaign was initially rejected, and Howard was buggered if he was going to use scarce Liberal Party funds to fill the gap. Better, far better, to go back to the Treasury: all that was needed was an excuse. And a change to the laws, even a tiny tweak, could provide that excuse. Hence the Stronger Safety Net for Working Australians. Needless to say, even the

Howard has miraculously changed overnight from being the remorseless man of steel into the warm and cuddly protector of the workers. by Mungo MacCallum will be the case in a market economy. But the vast majority on AWAs are workers in the retail and hospitality industries or factory fodder for our remaining manufacturers. They have been the casualties of WorkChoices, and day after day examples of their victimisation have appeared in the media. As a result, the system has become something of a symbol of the overall unfairness and arrogance of the government. With an election looming, something had to be done. Under normal circumstances this would have meant another raid on the public purse for another cynical and dishonest advertising campaign. But Howard was forced to rule that out: with WorkChoices so severely on the nose a re-run of the $55 mil-

headline is misleading. The Stronger Safety Net does not apply to any of the 350,000 plus workers already on AWAs. And for those about to be forced on to an AWA it will not restore the ‘protected by law’ conditions. All it will do is demand some form of compensation for their removal. The compensation will depend on the circumstances of the employer; if the business claims to be going through a bad patch, it can be waived entirely, with the mere offer of a job considered to recompense the worker for signing away all other rights. The Stronger Safety Net is largely an illusion. But that’s just the point. It needs to be explained to the Australian public, over and over again. A massive taxpayer funded media campaign is clearly not only justified, but

absolutely necessary, a positive public duty. And if, as the minister Joe Hockey inadvertently mused during the weekend, the campaign also happens to answer some of the claims made in the anti-WorkChoices campaign run by the trades unions (Boo! Hiss! Faceless tyrants terrorising honest workers!) well, that wouldn’t be such a bad thing either. Indeed, if the advertisements go on to extol the wonder and beauty of WorkChoices and the way it is delivering paradise on earth to those fortunate enough to come under its loving umbrella, then it is doing no more than reveal the truth, and the government can hardly be blamed for doing that, can it? The dancing bears in the media are, of coursed, mightily impressed: Howard has miraculously changed overnight from being the remorseless man of steel, the bosses’ friend, into the warm and cuddly protector of the workers. And look at the timing; just when Labor is having trouble from the miners in particular over its rejection of AWAs, they have become irresistibly worker friendly and by golly, won’t the government make sure everybody gets that message. At this stage we do not know just how long this brazen exercise will continue, or how much it will cost to finance it. What we do know is that it is all being done with smoke and mirrors and our money, and there is absolutely nothing we can do about it except express reluctant admiration for the audacity – and the cleverness. He might be getting longer in the tooth, but the lying rodent is back in business. Be afraid – be very afraid.

Wonderful world What a wonderful world! Almost everyone has a mobile. Emails and Viagra help us keep up. Baby boomers, seachangers and grey nomads. The lowest unemployment rate since the 70s. Self-employed and business owners exceed union membership. China and India economic powers. Byron Bay strangled by a defunct railway line. Spot the anachronism? Come on, Jan, think outside the box, just this once. We have a perfectly good railway crossing down the railway line at Old Bangalow Road. Just get a road down there and give the workers a fair go.

Travelling down the perilous nuclear path ■ The ALP’s decision to allow development of more uranium mines smacks of stupidity and cupidity. More uranium mining = more nuclear weapons = more nuclear power plants = more depleted uranium weapons = more ‘nuclear isotope plants’ within metropolitan areas = more nuclear waste, with a half-life to tens of thousands of years = more radiation sickness and radiation induced diseases such as cancers. Our knowledge of the dangers of the nuclear path simply does not matter in the politico-business equation. Allegedly the Green Party management has sold out our ability to exhaust our preferences and not allow a flow to Labor in the next federal election. This leaves two courses – running an independent, antinuclear pro-sustainability candidate who can better both Justine and any Nat contender, or simply casting informal ballots. In this two party dictatorship neither option is really viable or sustainable. Within the major parties it is verboten to disagree with party policies and platforms. Sounds familiar? Like maybe our capital is Moscow of Beijing and not Canberra? Why is it that the C and D students always control the A students! Ronald Wolff

Uki ■ Astonishing as it may seem, the public ‘debate’ about nuclear power and uranium mining is missing what is clearly the most important consideration: radioactive substances are bad for the health of humans and all species. Not only are they bad for health now, they remain bad for health into

the far foreseeable future. Unlike troublesome chemicals like carbon dioxide and hydrocarbons, which in theory can be easily mopped up, radioactive materials are far more insidious. Very small amounts, if distributed into ecosystems, have the potential to alter things utterly and irreversibly. This puts the nuclear issue in a totally different league to the problem of climate change and pollution by the wastes of nonnuclear industry. But who cares? Apparently not the vast majority of politicians and industrialists who have more pressing problems with the near future. History shows that, as far as public health issues are concerned, these two sectors will sweep whatever they can under the carpet and let future generations deal with it – after the maximum profits have been extracted. Think of Agent Orange. Think of all the other pesticides, drugs, and commodities like cigarettes that are known to be carcinogenic, and ask where the politicians and industrialists stood. At present both Howard’s mob and Rudd’s mob are so intent on not alienating the big end of town – the mining industry and the global nuclear network in particular – that all they can do is flog the economic issues. I have not heard a peep about the long term health risks posed by the nuclear industry. Even environmental commentators like Tim Flannery, the ubiquitous economics professors, and the various industry figureheads posing as good guys, are all really bean counters in the end. Their thinking is ultimately predicated on economic growth and the next appearance on think tanks designed to massage public fear, guilt

and anxiety – or worse still, persuade us to go gently on the nuclear issue. All will argue that in some circumstances it is rational to build more nuclear plants. As for nuclear wastes, the idea of burial in central Australia is about as good as it gets. And as for the use of depleted uranium by the military leading to the proliferation of radioactive aerosols in the atmosphere among other destinations – well, forget it. Too hard. The really hard fact is that ultimately economic growth is not as important as human health, even though the two are related – eg public health costs money. The difference between these two cultural processes, however, is never so clear as when we think about the increasing nuclear toxicity of the environment. The threat of radioactively polluted ground waters, atmospheres, food chains and ecologies is just too terrifying to contemplate. That’s probably why the subject is being avoided. Death and mutation is still a taboo subject, just like climate change was until the hard facts hit home. Do we really have to remind the talking heads that the half life of so many radio-

active substances is to be counted in terms of thousands of years? And do we really have to remind them that biological organisms and DNA tend to either be utterly destroyed by nuclear irradiation or changed into something else not so nice – radiotherapy notwithstanding? And finally do we really have to remind them that in a post-Chernobyl world there is still no magic way of absolutely containing these proliferating geo-hazards? Would some nice, sensible, economics professor or industry head care to put a dollar value on all that? Tom Jagtenberg

Byron Bay ■ I feel very upset and amazed that our local Labor MP Justine Elliot voted to expand uranium mining at the recent ALP conference in Sydney. Doesn’t she remember what we did to Larry over his support for Iraq? I’m also disappointed she didn’t find the time to educate herself further on the dangers of uranium mining and watch David Bradbury’s film A Hard Rain, which was painstakingly made and hand-delivered to her. If Justine had, she would

know that the Nuclear Proliferation Treaty cannot prevent our uranium ending up in nuclear weapons. There are always accidents at mines, at reactors and in computers. The best move is to leave it in the ground. If she and only seven other delegates out of the 500 voted the other way there would be no expansion. Even Peter Garrett, who Justine is happy to be photographed with condemning nuclear power (does that make her look more anti nuclear?) said at a recent speech, ‘Uranium mining poses threats to the environment and increases the risks of nuclear proliferation – risks that must never be forgotten.’ I hope people don’t forget Labor’s betrayal of their principled core values at the upcoming federal election and vote for the Greens or a delegate that not only votes no to nuclear power but no to any more uranium mines.

Landholders’ day Landholders, landcarers, mark it in your diaries: 11am Friday May 18 at Federal Hall. A little bit of polite and persistent agitation has resulted in the bloke (Hon Richard Bull) appointed by the Minister for Primary Industries doing the Review of the Rural Lands Protection Board Rating System coming to town to hear the concerns of local landholders. Landholders involved in nature conservation should be supported, not punished with a rate for how many cows they could carry. This is your chance to leave apathy at home, come for a drive to beautiful Federal and voice your concerns with the unfair RLPB rating system firsthand to the bloke doing the Review. Apparently our Mayor will also be there. So see you there, too. Patrick Morrisey

Within limits Simon Hosking (Letters, May 1) had me humming All You Need Is Love and by the time I got to ‘all roads can be gardens’ I was almost hypno-

tised by a Watch Tower vision of the lion lying down to play with the lamb, not to devour it. Simon’s views are representative of eco-hippy thinking about how to respond to the critical issues we face on this planet. This benign, naïve utopianism is fashionable among the many who oppose the smash-and-grab capitalism and consumerism we are living through, yet who are squeamish about political positions involving any curtailment of certain sacred-cow freedoms or rights – China’s one child policy, for example, or immigration policy. The broad, greenish left is generally tepid on these hard issues. If only we all became like H G Wells’s Eloi, clad like Socrates, strumming lyres and philosophising under fruit trees in eco villages. ‘Morlocks? What Morlocks?’ The idea that we can or should grow without limit is not a law of nature. It is the product and mantra of vested political and economic interests. It is contestable.Yet, like motherhood, it is sacred. Challenge is almost taboo. Those who benefit most from growth ensure that any real slowing results in recession – loss of jobs, loss of homes, ‘economic meltdown’, in the scare phrase. The impediments to a transition from unlimited growth to a steady-state economy and population are real and challenging. For a start we would need a government

prepared to get its hands dirty and wrest control from the corporations. Hugo Chavez in Venezuela seems to represent a step in the right direction. Leadership is unlikely from the English speaking world, in thrall as it is to road-to-hell America. The question is whether we reach a steady state by following the path of bugs in a Petri dish, or understand the available options and choose to live within our planet’s limits. Adrian Gattenhof

■ There is no doubt about the reality of global warming and climate change. Little is said about human productive activity and the effects it is having on the global environment. Utopian thinking and consumer personal responsibility have little bearing on the expansionary nature of ‘global market economies’. Fair trade is often touted as system that challenges the

brutalities of the profit system, however does not address the systemic injustices and only accounts for just over 1% of world trade. Climate change encapsulates what Marx called the ‘metabolic rift’ between humanity and nature – a rupture caused by the insatiable drive of capital for profit, a drive that knows no bounds and disregards environmental

and social consequences. The period ahead will be ‘an epoch of geo-biological crises’, when the laws of natural selection assert themselves with all the fierceness and lead the development over the corpses of plant and animal species. Just recently Australian business leaders are calling out for ‘market solutions’ – profit driven for dealing with carbon emissions and other

Who owns the water? ■ Richmond MP Justine Elliot’s petition to stop the ‘precious water from the Clarence and Tweed rivers’ being used to quench the thirst of ‘the over-developed Gold Coast’ seems to imply that the problem is due to too many people moving to the Gold Coast. There is an implication that these people should have moved to a location that has an abundance of water to support them… somewhere like the Richmond electorate perhaps? As rainfall declines across vast swathes of the Australian continent there is an obvious solution, which I believe Ms Elliot is hinting at. The solution is to encourage populations in drying areas of the country to migrate to where the grass is greener and you can enjoy a ten minute shower. Some residents of these lush rural districts may, however, place a higher value on their low-density rural lifestyles than they do on the millions of litres of unused water that daily flows out to sea from their rivers. They may take the view that exporting the water is better than importing the people. Who owns the water in Australia’s rivers anyway? When you buy a house in

town are you also buying the water in the local river? Is Ms Elliot suggesting that there is not a single drop of water which could be spared for our thirsty neighbours? Not 5% or 10% of the river’s flow could be spared? Is she Australian? Where is her sense of ‘mateship’? Isn’t helping out your mates in times of trouble the Australian way? Or has looking after number one become the name of the game? Lau Guerreiro

Mullumbimby ■ I wonder if Richmond MP Justine Elliot is as concerned with threats to the water in her own electorate as she is with those to the Tweed/ Clarence areas. The current level of Rocky Creek dam is only 69%. Could climate change be the reason the catchment did not receive the usual heavy summer/ autumn rainfall which would normally have the dam full at this time of the year? Meanwhile the Emigrant Creek dam is 98% full. This is probably due to its catchment being the most easterly in Australia and picking up the higher rainfall that occurs in the Byron Bay hinterland. In a recent letter to the

Watercatchers Association the Parliamentary Secretary for Roads gave details of the impact of the proposed six lane motorway on the Emigrant Creek catchment. In summary the motorway, carrying 4.5 million vehicles per annum, will pass directly above the drinking water of Rous Water consumers for a distance of three quarters of a kilometre. This represents a staggering 13.5% of the total length of the catchment. The RTA warns it cannot eliminate pollution risks which it states include airborne cancer causing compounds. And Rous Water advises that it is not yet convinced by the RTA that it can mitigate satisfactorily against pollution risks. This includes massive erosion during construction. Therefore will Ms Elliot launch a petition to demand her Labor colleague, Minister Roozendaal, review the preferred route decision so that her constituents’ water supply is not put at risk? Perhaps she could ask Greens MLC Ian Cohen to join forces with her, given his responsibility to Rous Water consumers also. Ian Cooke

Letters environmental crises. And there lies the rub, the contradiction between making profit and true sustainability. If commercial interests and the profit motive are the underlying factors in preserving our environment, it is a sad indictment on our values as a species. And for those who think the ALP will save the day, think again. This ‘fair and balanced’ party is about to unbalance and cave in again by making more concessions to their industrial relations policy, a milder version of Work Choices to business in order for them to maintain record ‘profitability’ in the national economic interest at the expense of ordinary struggling working families.

You live in a lucky part of the universe Farewell, Lennox Head. These are sad words coming from two Americans who have spent the better part of the last eight months here. I have been to Australia six times, always as a tourist; this is the first time as ‘pseudoresident’. We glowed with pride when we were told ‘you guys are locals’ and were given a ‘frequent flyer’ card at the Buddha Bar. I feel compelled to thank the community for making our stay so wonderful. We are here from California for my husband’s sabbatical from teaching mechanical engineering. He is supposed to be working on professional development – I suppose daily testing surfboard stiffness and other mechanical properties fits into this category. We have learned a bit

about the parliamentary system of government you have… that Labor are liberals and the Liberals are conservative; we have learned that minimum wage here is a living wage, unlike in the US; we have learned that iced coffees here are loaded with ice cream and whipped cream, not so back home. I went to East Timor in December and ended up with a deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, introducing me to your medical system. I have received treatment in Darwin and here in the Northern Rivers since January. I have good private insurance.They will decide to reimburse me or not upon my return. If I were to try and buy new private insurance, now that I have had this condition, it is likely that I would

either be denied or it would be out of our reach financially. Good thing my husband likes his job. In the US many people are forced to keep jobs they dislike so that they can keep their medical benefits. About 40 million (out of 300 million) don’t have benefits at all. I have received excellent care by compassionate physicians who have spent more time talking to me than I would have normally expected. The pharmacy staff in Lennox have been unbelievably helpful, printing articles for me to read and lending me a tape measure so I could measure my leg first thing in the morning before it swells so I can order special stockings (trusting me to bring it back… no worries, mate).

My husband and I thought that the bill for $580 including ER and overnight stay must have been a mistake. It included all tests except radiology. I work in health care in the US and can tell you that it would have been at least ten times that with many confusing bills coming from the doctors and the lab, and radiology, and the hospital, all billed separately (thanks to Ronald Reagan’s deregulation of hospitals in the 1980s). In the US just stitching my husband’s cut toe in the ER was about $600. My point is this: You are so lucky to be living in this beautiful, kind, and easy part of the universe, with good and affordable health care, lovely public parks that are prolific with excellent clean

facilities, clean water and beaches, fresh and delicious foods of which so much is grown locally, small shops where you still can get friendly and personal service (butcher shops and produce stores, and small private pharmacies are virtually becoming things of the past in the US). Be thankful for what you have, and keep up the good fight to sustain your quality of life. Of course there is always room for improvement; for example, having to pay 50 cents for ketchup for your fries – oops, tomato sauce for your chips – is highway robbery. Somebody do something about that, please. Thanks again for a terrific eight months. Michele Duero

Gem of a festival in Lismore

Detail of one of the fossil ammonites to be displayed at the Lismore Gemfest.

No wonder FEHVA coordinator Dee Tipping has a smile on her face as she is seen posing next to Angus McDonald’s submission to the FEHVA art auction and sale 2007. The artist is seated in one of his Moo chairs. ‘Needless to say this is a very significant piece of artwork to go under the hammer in June,’ said Ms Tipping. ‘I was thrilled when Angus said he had a “horse�

for us this year, knowing there are some very enthusiastic horse lovers out there who would also appreciate an Angus McDonald version of one, but when I saw this piece I just went “Wow�.’ Early bird tickets for FEHVA are now on sale and this includes early bird tickets for the FEHVA art auction if you purchase before May 20. Angus will also be a guest

speaker at FEHVA. Joining photographer Di Epoff and interviewer Rosy Whelan on Sunday July 1 the discussion will focus on the imaging of site – in Angus’s case his trip to digitally capture Antarctica earlier this year, sponsored by the Mawson Hut Foundation. For program details and booking information visit www.fehva.com or phone 66871 623.

Lismore’s annual Gemfest held on the third weekend in May is attracting some of Australia’s most notable collectors and miners. Apart from the usual huge range of gems and jewellery, some of Australia’s leading fossil experts are attending to display and sell rare fossils from around the world. Gemfest spokesperson John Hoffman says that since Gemfest began in 1990, the show had gradually increased in popularity and credibility to become one of Australia’s major crystal and fossil events. ‘New Zealand’s largest importer of precious stones was attending as well

as on of the world’s largest sapphire producers from Queensland,’ says John. ‘However it is the unique and rare fossils that seem to entice adults and children, and visitors are amazed at what can be purchased very cheaply. You can buy virtually anything nature produces in stone, including fossil fish, lobsters, dinosaur bones and extinct shells, all millions of years old.’ The show is run by Lismore’s Gem & Lapidary Club which itself has many members who are experts in jewellery, mineralogy and gemstone cutting. ‘One of our young female

members recently won first prize for gem cutting at the 2007 National Gem Show in Queensland,’ says John. ‘The Northern Rivers area seems to attract people with amazing talent and a deep awareness and understanding of the natural environment and that has helped Gemfest develop into an icon jewellery and crystal show able to attract Australia’s best.’ The 17th Lismore Gemfest commences at Lismore Showground on Saturday May 19 and ends on Sunday May 20 at 3pm.

Articles Mandy Nolan talks to a mother recovering from her daughter’s death by drug overdose

Helping families survive the sadness A few months ago The Echo ran a story about Family Drug Support and the Stepping Stones program they were running for family members of substance abusers. FDS coordinatorTheo Chang was keen to get a support group operating in the Byron Shire and after the success of the initial program held in Mullumbimby a regular fortnightly group has started to meet, to share stories and provide ongoing emotional support. The organisation operates out of the Australia-wide policy of harm minimisation, and has an inclusive philosophy that if it works for your family, then keep doing it. The support group aims to reach out to those family members, usually parents, but sometimes, grandparents, or siblings, with a drug-addicted family member, to refocus on their wellbeing and share their survival strategies. I spoke with a woman who attended the initial workshop, who is now one of the group leaders for the support group, about how this has changed her life. Sally* has three kids, two daughters and one son. ‘My middle daughter Bella* died from a heroin overdose in Byron Bay at just 20 years old. She had been an ordinary kid, who was experimenting with drugs. She moved to the city and into a house where someone was using heroin, she got involved and eventually hooked.’ Looking back, Sally wondered if there was something she could have done to protect her daughter, whether

information would have provided adequate immunisation against addiction. ‘We didn’t talk about drugs openly at home. I knew she would be experimenting, but I assumed, (and something I know now isn’t true) that a smart person wouldn’t do it. ‘She hadn’t been injecting that long before she died. She so easily could have not died. I had no idea. She rang me from Sydney and left a message on the answering machine: ‘Hi Mum, I’m coming home to get off heroin’.

That was the first shock. ‘She went to The Buttery, but that didn’t last. She ended up with me. I came home one day and saw the light on, the door to the bedroom was shut, the dog was acting strangely. I knew in my heart that something was wrong. I walked in and she was dead. Well and truly dead. It was ten years ago this year. I don’t talk about it much. I am going to speak about it this year... I think I was lucky, I had a lot of counselling for the grief, but it still comes in waves.’ One of the saddest thing

Portraits and pen competition Dangerously Poetic Press is excited to announce the upcoming Portraits and the Pen Competition: A Poetic Response to the Australian Portrait Collection at the Tweed River Art Gallery in Murwillumbah. Poets are invited to write on any of ten designated portraits in the permanent collection. Closing date for submissions is July 9, 2007. Brisbane poet and Director of the Queensland Poetry Festival, Graham Nunn, will be the judge. The award ceremony will be held at the Tweed River Art Gallery, in conjunction with the Olive Cotton Award for photographic portraiture. Overall First Prize is $200 and best poem for each portrait will be displayed next to the inspirational portrait.

The Riverside Reception’s Peoples’ Choice Award will be announced at the poetry reading on August 26 at 2pm. Winning poems will also be listed on www.dangerouslypoetic.com. A workshop, Portraits and the Pen: When Art Inspires Poetry will be held at the Tweed River Art Gallery on Saturday May 19 and on June 2. ‘We invite poets to “enter� into some of the portraits at the gallery, allowing them to trigger a visceral response,’ says Dangerously Poetic Press. ‘A deeply felt experience with a work of art that inspires a poem is called, from the Greek, ekphrastic poetry. ‘We will examine some famous examples of this. Then we will spend time

with the portraits experimenting with various approaches.’ The tutor, Laura Jan Shore, author of historical novel The Sacred Moon Tree, and poetry collection Breathworks, is president of Dangerously Poetic Press. Her poems have recently appeared in The Weekend Australian, Blue Dog, Famous Reporter, Five Bells, Yellow Moon, Eucalpyt and twice on Radio National’s Poetica. The workshop is especially designed to support and encourage poets who might like to submit poems for the upcoming contest but is open to all. For information about the workshop and competition submission forms contact Laura Shore on lshore@linknet.com.au or Pam Smith on 6680 1626.

about losing a child to drug addiction for a parent is that in the eyes of society their child becomes defined by the addiction, and that the person underneath is lost. ‘Bella was amazing. The world could have done with her. She was super intelligent and fun and funny, she was brilliant and fun and risky!’ In the short time Sally was dealing with Bella’s addiction, she struggled to find adequate support and counselling about just how she, as a mother should deal with the situation. ‘I’d be driving down the street, and I’d see her in a car in front of me. I knew it would be about scoring. I would have to keep going, go and do the shopping... I did try Community Health and they said, let her go, she has to hit rock bottom, kick her out... I never did that, but it did make me pull back a bit.’ Family Drug Support has no hard lines, it simply encourages families to do what they feel works for them. ‘Theo tells a story about a family who goes with the person to score the drugs to make sure that they are safe – I wish that I had had the guts. I was so obsessed with the angle that it was illegal and the police would come around... I wish I could have gone with her.’ It’s the desperation and the powerlessness that leaves many parents with addict children in a state of constant emotional trauma. Often they are so focused on the addict, they forget to maintain their lives as well. There are plenty of

resources to assist parents with behaviour modification for toddlers, but there is no handbook for parents who have to navigate addiction. This is your precious child. How do you turn away? Sally shared some of the isolation and confusion: ‘My friends would say, are you going to chain her to the bed? It does feel like there’s no help, but I could have got help, I could have got phone counselling... now, at Family Drug Support, I hear people’s stories and it’s what helps you keep connected.You keep expanding in your own life, and in a weird way it helps the drugdependent person. Part of the information you get is that it’s OK to have many tries, there will always be successes and failures on the way to change.’ Although it’s ten years since Sally’s daughter died, she still experiences the emotional benefits of being involved with the support group. ‘I feel like I have been waiting for something like this. I didn’t want to go to the Stepping Stones program initially. I felt like my story was deep inside me. The course was mind blowing and wonderful

and I decided that it would be my liberation. ‘If you had told me when my kids were small that one of them would die of a drug overdose, I don’t think I would have thought I would survive it – that I would go mad. But I am surviving it. I so want our government to have a realistic look at our young people – zero tolerance is dangerous, harm minimisation can save lives.’ For Sally, the support group continues to be a source of inspiration. ‘What I mainly noticed was the courage of the people there. The other thing is their relief in being able to tell their story and be listened to by people who know and the third amazing thing is to see just how much people love their children.’ Family Drug Support now has regular meetings at the Girl Guides Hall in Byron Bay on the second and fourth Monday of every month, 7pm-9pm. It’s open to anyone with a drug dependent family member. For information call 6680 3369 or 6685 7092. * Names have been changed to ensure confidentiality.

and masterly writer. At times lyrical, at times startling, the language delivers utterly complete image and sensation. ‘My throat is misshapen with all it now car-

ries. My heart is a sour, indolent fruit.’ Nothing in this book is superfluous: for all its beauty and elegance, the prose is spare, with the perfect word always in the

perfect place. Shakespeare permeates every aspect of this novel. From the violent death that unknits the fabric of the characters’ lives, to Stella’s spiralling retreat from reality into Shakespearean monologue, to Perdita’s very name, tragedy stalks the pages. Christmas provides a perfect setting against which family life unravels, and in Sorry this unravelling is both vivid and spectacular. In 1940, the family, Nicholas and Stella and the neglected ten-year-old Perdita, share their home with Mary, the Aboriginal girl who Perdita has come to love and Nicholas has come to abuse. Christmas Day brings a feast of roast chicken, but the reader knows from the outset that a day of peaceful festivity will not unfold. The detail of the identical rose print dresses worn by the females, Nicholas’ bitter pipe smoke thinly dispersing, Stella’s black Spanish shawl against the summer heat, the glistening oily pyramid of food combines to create an atmosphere fetid with portent and nascent doom. The sherry-fuelled

Stella launches into an increasingly shrill and impassioned performance of the last act of Othello, to Nicholas’s derision and his inevitable violence against Stella and Mary in front of the mute Perdita. The accelerating pace of the scene as the mood moves from geniality to hysteria to terror and subsides finally into grief is breathtaking. I found myself compelled to read and reread these pages, to luxuriate in the imagery and the bravura flight of a writer in full command of her art. The narrative voice travels between first and third person, which sounds awkward but never is so. I felt that it enabled me to get a 360 degree perspective on Perdita, as though she was being turned round about and opened inside out. And as for the title, Sorry: read the book. It could never have been called anything else. I finished the book last night and yes, am already reaching for it to begin again. Meet Gail Jones at the Byron Bay Writers Festival, the last weekend of July.

Meet Richard Roxburgh at film preview The Byron Bay Writers Festival is delighted to present an advance screening of the new Australian film, Romulus, My Father. This preview will be held at Byron Cinemas, Byron Bay, on Sunday May 20 at 4pm. Based on Raimond Gaita’s critically acclaimed memoir, this unashamedly emotional film is the big screen directorial debut for actor and stage director Richard Roxburgh. Eric Bana, one of Australia’s most successful international stars, plays the title role. Developed with Richard Roxburgh over seven years, Romulus, My Father has been adapted for the screen by acclaimed poet and playwright, Nick Drake. R i c h a r d R ox b u r g h , together with film critic Peter Thompson, will conduct a Q & A after the showing. ‘The singular thing about this story, given its tragic dimension, its almost biblical reach, is how strangely uplifting it is,’ said Roxburgh. ‘Somehow through the pain, there is not only a sense of possibility, but of promise, held in the relationship of that father and son.’ Appearing with Eric Bana is Franka Potente (Run Lola, Run, The Bourne Identity

Australian actors collaborate: Richard Roxburgh and Eric Bana.

and The Bourne Supremacy) as his wife Christina. Kodi Smit-McPhee makes his Australian feature film lead debut as Rai. ‘The film burns with a European intensity set in an arid and unforgiving Australian landscape,’ say writ-

ers festival organisers. ‘We follow the tale of a boy, Rai, trying to balance a universe dominated by his deeply moral father, against the experience of hear tbreaking absence and neglect from a depressive mother. Ultimately,

this is a story of intense love that celebrates the unbreakable bond between father and son.’ Tickets are just $15 for film and Q&A with Richard Roxburgh, and must be booked at the Byron Cinemas on 6680 8555.

It’s probably not so much the antediluvian ruby stud that adorns my left ear as the forest of unsightly hair that grows out of it that influences her selection. The Doobie Brothers are followed by the Eagles. I call for mercy when I recognise Elton’s unmistakable plodding piano at the beginning of track three, by which time Doctor Dahmer is ramming a sixth needle into my gum. There is something thick and numb in my mouth. When I speak I discover it is my paralysed tongue. ‘Bebwa, hab you gop awy

glakkikle?’ Debra regards me with pity. I try again, slowly., ‘Glak-kikle?’ ‘Oh, you mean classical?’ ‘Air. Mowtart. Obwa.’ The first song is a piece of fluff by Andrew Lloyd Webber. ‘Buck me ged!’ I think to myself, morbidly anticipating three hours of unrelieved torture. Thankfully, Sir Andrew gives way to Puccini as Doctor Dahmer gets stuck in. He chats non-stop, his schtick modelled on Billy Crystal’s. ‘Hm, that’s unusual,’ he says. He’s not so chirpy now. Uh oh. Debra frowns and Doctor Dahmer suddenly reminds

me of a sad sack whom I knew in the rag trade. Maurie Eisenstein. I half expect him to offer me a good price on the ream of cotton wool that I’ll need to staunch the bleeding from where he’s about to yank a wisdom tooth out of my head. He grips his pliers. Debra moves the suction thing to the other side of my mouth. Maria Callas wails in the corner. Doctor Dahmer heaves on the tooth and, for inspiration, I call to mind Johnny Sattler playing the 1970 grand final with a broken jaw. More than ever before I understand that I am no Johnny Sattler. I look up to Debra pleadingly. She leans across me and I can feel her soft thighs press deep against my arm. Lovely. I haven’t been this close for ages. I convince myself that it’s doing for Debra what it’s doing for me. I can’t wait to get home and tell Portnoy. Then plop. Out of the side of my eye I see the hideous bloodstained roots of the rotten tooth as Pavarotti sobs into his linguini in the background. Faerie Queene is waiting for me in the foyer when my calvary is ended. She’s got a litre bottle of Dubonnet and I envisage us opening it the minute we get back to civilisation. Debra rushes out from the surgery, calling my name. I knew it, there was something happening between us after all. ‘ ... and don’t forget, you’re not to drink any alcohol while you’re taking those antibiotics.’ My crest is fallen.

cies around the estuary since January. Some of these are land birds that use the estuary, but the whole bird scene is much healthier since the intensive protection effort has been in place over the last couple years. Thanks to the community for respecting the birds’ space and giving them a chance to rest and replenish their energy reserves around the estuary. They take up only a very small bit of the beach. The Little Tern flocks were smaller than in the past for reasons unknown. None of these special birds nested here this year. Experience from other places suggests it might take a few years and more knowledge before a nesting occurs, but once they start breeding in a particular

place they will settle in and often keep going. The new smaller fenced area will protect the Pied Oystercatchers from disturbance over winter and give some refuge to the tiny Red-capped Plovers as they prepare to begin their next breeding activities in July. The main migratory bird season won’t start until September. A new interpretive sign explaining the situation of the shorebirds will be erected at the Manfred Street beach access in the near future. A few reports from Tallow and Brunswick residents indicate visitation to those areas by shorebirds this year, including Little Terns. Byron Bird Buddies want to encourage people who might be keen to help these beautiful birds survive in the

Shorebird season comes to an end Belongil beach walkers might have noticed changes in the shorebird fence at the Belongil estuary entrance this week. The fence and signs that mark the main nesting and roosting areas have been drawn inwards to the ‘winter zone’ with a much smaller protected area. The occasional bird might still be found quietly resting in the dunes behind the fence but most activity is over. This shorebird season just ended was another reasonably successful summerautumn period, with visits by many migratory birds, and breeding by the resident birds. Many species of shorebirds were observed by interested watchers, and recorded by Byron Bird Buddies official observer Jan Olley who has listed over 80 different spe-

As I had recently driven Faerie Queene to Coolangatta Airport, the kind hearted old moll returned the favour and took me to the Gold Coast last week. My redoubtable Commie was at Federal Motors for urgent repairs. We’re neither of us getting any younger – the VK and me, that is – and while its greasy innards are having done to them whatever arcane thing it is that mechanics do, I am headed for similar treatment at the periodontist’s. Sitting in the Datsun when Faerie Queene cranks it to the max is like being inside a tumble dryer.With my bones rattling, I marvel at the endless awfulness of our boom city neighbour. Ugly architecture, a disproportionate number of bad restaurants and a strangulation of highways, all circling identical junkorama malls. A post cerebral environment where the personalised number plate is a higher goal, it’s a place where one can be entirely comfortable about abandoning the pretence of not feeling superior. Deservedly, my hubris is short lived. Faerie Queene drops me off and speeds away to do Australia Fair. Minutes later I am in the chair. Doctor Dahmer fiddles butter-fingeredly with his terrifying arsenal of pointy steel implements while Nurse Debra ties a bib around my neck and masks up. She has eyes like Sophia Loren circa Scandal In Sorrento. (And breasts too, for that matter. Not that I objec-

Farewell to Urban Thomas Reynolds Merv’s father operated the Boyd’s Bay vehicular ferry at Tweed Heads and Merv as a young lad often used to assist in operating it. At 15 years of age while operating the ferry for his father a mishap occurred during the night and a car rolled off the ferry into the river midstream. He quickly stopped the ferry, backed up and dove into the river, then proceeded to successfully rescue the occupants of the sunken vehicle. His actions were applauded and it was suggested that he be nominated for a bravery award but his father was reluctant for this to happen because of his young age being left in charge of the ferry. Shortly after with the help of his brother Pat, Merv acquired a job on the Kyogle to Brisbane railway line by putting his age up two years. His first task was mixing concrete by hand for the bridges, which for his age was extremely hard work, but with his determination he stuck it out. After finishing work on the railway line he then went to Billinudgel to

grow small crops and bananas. During the Depression years and against his father’s wishes Merv and a mate Arthur Doyle, decided to head to central Queensland to look for work. They spent many a night sleeping under the stars with their swags.

Merv took on any job that he was able to get and eventually he took on a fencing contract, and soon after he managed the Railway Hotel Bar in Emerald and from there he managed the bar at the Palace Hotel in Nanango until the owner Mrs McConnell finally sold out. He then returned to the Northern Rivers and ended up at Billinudgel working in bananas again. From about 19 years of age Merv had a love of dancing even to the point of seeking out Cloudland in Brisbane, winning many competitions over the years. At every opportunity he would attend local country dances. It was at one of these dances he met Dulcie King who went on to become the love of his life. Merv and Dulcie were married on July 6, 1946 at the Sacred Heart Catholic Church, Murwillumbah and the ceremony was officiated by the late Father Dennis Mullins who became a close family friend. This coming July Merv and Dulcie would have celebrated 61 years of married life. This in itself is a truly remarkable achievement. After their marriage they

took up residence at New Brighton, living there until 1963 then moving to New City Road, Mullumbimby, which to this day continues to be the family home. They had seven children: Terry, Elaine, Colleen, Camilla, Pauline, John and Debbie. They have been blessed with 15 grandchildren and seven great grandchildren, always taking a keen interest in their wellbeing, ambitions and achievements. Merv commenced work in the sand mining industry in 1950 where he continued until his retirement in 1977. He was never afraid of hard work, many times while working night shifts he would take on jobs such as house painting and tank rendering during the day. He was truly passionate about ensuring his family was always well provided for both spiritually and physically and this was sometimes at great personal sacrifice to both he and Dulcie. Merv would never turn his back on a challenge, I can remember during the later part of his sand mining career he was asked if he would learn to drive a dragline, which anyone who is familiar with would know, they are not an easy machine to operate and especially for a man his age. He not only learned to operate it, but became a very proficient operator as well as a competent front end loader operator. Merv has always taken a strong interest in community and national affairs. He was an active member of the progress association while living in New Brighton. From a very young age Merv had a passionate interest in politics, in particular the Australian Labor Party to which he was made a life member in the 1980s. It would take a brave person to challenge him in debate over a political issue. Another instance of his community involvement was his persistence in the relocating of the Byron

Shire Council headquarters to Mullumbimby. He worked tirelessly and passionately to ensure that his vision was achieved. To compliment his effort he was invited to perform the unveiling of the foundation stone for the new building. Throughout Mer v’s whole life he has held very strong religious beliefs. He believes his faith has carried him through some really rough patches, there is not a man born who would have been able to waiver or change his views. Mer v was fortunate throughout his life to experience good health, most probably from hard work. He always said, ‘Hard work would never kill you.’ For the whole of his life he has always loved his cups of tea. I am unaware of anyone who has consumed as much as he has. Even when he was going to school he would run miles back home at lunch time just to have a couple of cups of tea. Between the tea and his fondness for salt I guess they must have contributed to long life. The fondest memories Merv’s family will have is sitting around the kitchen table listening to all the tales and stories of his life experiences and the antics and jokes played out by his great friend of many years, the late Bill Healy. At age 92 Merv still held a driver’s licence, but then he had his first stroke and from that time on his health slowly deteriorated. The family would like to thank the carers from CCAPS and Respite who assisted over the past few years. It was his desire to stay together with Dulcie in their own home for as long as possible. Merv’s whole life has been to care, protect and provide for, firstly his parents, then his siblings, his wife, their children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. ■ Adapted from a eulogy by Terry Reynolds.

rban Thomas Reynolds, son of the late Thomas and Jessie Reynolds, was born at Piora near Casino on April 19, 1910. He was the sixth-born of eleven children and was known as Tom but more widely known as Merv. His siblings consisted of Pat, Clem, Teresa, Peter, Bill, Cyril, Reg, Mary, Amelda and Eileen, all of whom have predeceased him. Merv’s parents sharefarmed at Piora and life was extremely hard for the family. At a very young age the family experienced a severe drought and it was at this time his parents relocated to the Tweed. Merv’s father trucked his herd of cattle to one of his brother’s property on the Tweed but due to their poor condition only one cow survived. Merv commenced his short schooling life at Mount St Patrick’s at Murwillumbah. He left school at a very young age to help support the family, working on dairy farms around the Tweed area.

The Australian Film Television and Radio School (AFTRS) is offering help to radio people puzzled by the impending switch-on of digital radio, in a series of nationwide seminars being launched next month. The AFTRS half day seminars will cover all aspects of digital radio and are aimed at spreading information and enthusiasm for digital radio among all sectors of the radio industry. At the end of each seminar there will be an Indus-

try Networking Event so radio colleagues attending the seminar can discuss the new opportunities digital radio brings. Brisbane seminar dates: Friday May 11, 12 noon to 5pm, to be followed by an industry networking function at Eagle Street Conference Centre, Cnr of Eagle, Queen and Wharf Streets, River Prominade Level 1, Brisbane. See www.aftrs. edu.au/radio for details of how to attend the seminars or contact AFTRS Queens-

land on 07 3257 7646 for more details. While managers and industry leaders have been planning and engaging with digital radio for many years, staff at the operational level in stations have sometimes missed out on the latest developments. There are several digital radio trials on air at the moment (using an older transmission system), however, the official switchon date for Australia’s newest radio transmission system is 2009.

occupation, or by any other means’, ie no military bases and no claims of ownership are allowed. The Australian Space Office was discontinued in 1996 and, according to the Office of the Minister: Education, Science and Training, ‘to date there is no expression of Australia’s space policy’.

Global shifts On February 13 this year The Echo published a letter from this writer, stating that the

Greenhouse Effect would cause, ‘a massive migration of Australians, from the Eastern states to the Western states’ of Australia. Remarkably, Russian news services now claim that Australian PM John Howard has already asked America for assistance ‘in the “proposed” evacuation of upwards of 11 million of its 20 million citizens’ (1) – because of impending food and water shortages in the Eastern states. In addition to the previously reported disappearance of bees from America, Europe and Britain, bees Advertisement

are now also disappearing from Canada, Taiwan and Brazil (2,3). A recent survey of local people by this writer shows that virtually no-one recognises the significance of the loss of the bee. It’s like the removal of all bearings from cars, trains and planes. For example, no bees means no pollination of wattle or gum trees, meaning no reproduction of wattle or gum trees, meaning the even-

tual extinction of such trees, and hence the eventual and permanent loss of all wildlife that lives in and relies on such trees. Food not dependent on the bees includes wheat, oats, algae and mushrooms. (1) www.whatdoesitmean. com, 29/04/07 (2) AAP 02/05/07 (3) Reuters 26/03/07 Peter Olson

Space wars The discovery on the moon of helium-3, the highly potent nuclear fusion fuel will spell a space-based ‘gold rush’ which the US is intent on dominating (Russia suspects Washington has plans to monopolise fuel from moon, Sydney Morning Herald, May 2). Longstanding US plans to colonise and militarise the moon and space reach back to Nazi space scientists Von Braun and Dornberger who pioneered NASA. Their vision is realised by General Joseph Ashy, former C-in-C US Space Command: ‘It’s politically sensitive, but it’s going to happen. Some people don’t want to hear this, and it sure isn’t in vogue, but absolutely, we’re going to fight in space. We’re going

Articles New roof for Byron Visitor Centre The old Stationmaster’s Cottage in the centre of Byron Bay, which houses the Byron Visitor Centre, is sporting a new roof, thanks to Byron Shire Council. Staff at the BVC are delighted. ‘We won’t have to mop up after heavy rain any more,’ said Acting Manager Katharine Myres. After budgeting for the exterior painting last year, Council announced recently that the replacement of the old roof would go ahead. The Centre had to close for several days for safety rea-

New tours aim to aid Malawi

sons during the operation, an unprecedented action for the BVC, which is usually open 364 days a year. ‘The Cottage is a very special building and, together with our efforts in the gardens, this means that the precinct is becoming more and more attractive, as befits one of the busiest visitor centres in the country,’ said Katharine. ‘Now we are turning our attention to the bus stop. ‘It’s an eyesore and an embarrassment to the town.’

Hans Lovejoy Want to travel Africa in a way that only exists in Agatha Christie novels and Indiana Jones movies? zFor a fraction of the cost of standard African tours, local resident Mark Myers is offering grassroots tours of Malawi while also encouraging tourism as a way for the country to be less dependent on foreign aid. ‘As with many African countries, Malawi has its problems,’ Mark Myers told The Echo. ‘Thank God political instability isn’t a major concern – but Malawi does have huge problems including HIV and other major health and poverty issues and is heavily dependent on private and government foreign aid.’ Myers was inspired by an elderly doctor friend and found himself in the heart of Africa setting up a tourist industry in October last year. ‘These tours were not put together because of the good time I had – it was for a totally different reason.’ Malawi is a small landlocked country that nestles between Tanzania, Mozambique and Zambia. According to Myers, Malawi is known as ‘The Warm Heart of Africa’ and it is her people – who smile and laugh freely – that reflect this. As with all

of sub-Saharan Africa the scenery and wildlife are breathtaking. ‘The amazing thing about Malawi is its people and their culture, and the fact that for the most part their way of life has remained unaltered for hundreds, if not thousands of years. It’s a world without electricity, industry or the motor car – a world of round mudbrick huts with grass roofs, crystal clear water, baobab trees, hippos, elephants, monkeys and wonderful smiling people.’ Myers’s concern however is that foreign aid creates chronic dependencies. ‘People see no way out of their perceived poverty other than through this aid. It is difficult to explain, but it is as though they are waiting for something to happen – and I mean waiting both individually and on a national level. ‘I wanted to create a busi-

ness in Malawi that brings in foreign money – not as aid but as money paid for services rendered or goods received. I would like to see all of that money, or as much as possible, stay in the hands of Malawians instead of going to multi-nationals. ‘We are using Malawian owned businesses wherever possible, even so far as using Malawian travel agents to book flights to ensure the booking fee or commission goes to the locals. ‘This makes good sense because if something goes wrong in Malawi, an Australian agent is not much use. I hope that by so doing we can help out a little, give some people more options for the future. ‘Twenty per cent of any profit is an unconditional gift to the Elders of a certain village to do with as they see fit. They do not need to consult

with us, neither do they need our approval. ‘This trip needs to sell itself as a great and unique travel experience and not as a charitable donation if the venture is to be sustainable – and we believe it is. This is not ‘Theme Park Africa’, it is real Africa. It is a gentle journey in a style of yesteryear which includes six days aboard ship cruising Lake Malawi and four nights with our base in what was the residence of the British Govenors General.’ As a special introductory offer the Mterprises Magical Malawi Tour is $AU1,800 for this trip and the next only. The regular price excluding airfare will be $AU2,875. For more information visit www.mmmalawi.com or email mterprises@gmail. com. Photo Mark Myers

Articles Mandy Nolan interviews Gina Baker, the first person fined in the new marine park zone at Bruns

The perils of just walking the dog Every day Mullumbimby resident Gina Baker walks her two miniature daschunds, Charlie Brown and Scout, at Brunswick Heads beach. This has long been a meeting place for local dog owners who until the enforcement of Marine Park legislation last week enjoyed free rein on an area that stretched south from the Surf Club. The new laws dictate that the area now designated as a dog exercise area finishes just 400 metres from the club. On Sunday April 29 Ms Baker, was the first person to be fined in Council enforcement of the zone. Ironically, Ms Baker was a Ranger for some 13 years with the Cape Byron Reserve Trust. Gina pointed out some inconsistencies in new signage that may be confusing for dog walkers: ‘The sign was in the dunes, it was put in there last week and it says “no dogs past this point� but you practically had to have glasses on to read it. (Somebody had turned it). At the beginning of the dog walk there is a sign that says “Dog excercise area extends 1 kilo-

metre south of the Surf Club� whereas new signage clearly indicates no dogs past this point being 400 metres.’ Having been a Ranger, Ms Baker also questioned the style of enforcement being employed by Council Rangers. ‘The intertidal zone, 400 metres south of the Surf Club is actually under Marine Park gazettal – therefore the Cape Byron Marine Park needs to have authorised Council rangers to enforce marine park

legislation. The beach walkers were aware the legislation was in place but up until last Sunday April 29, the beach was never patrolled and the legislation never enforced.Without warning the Council ranger came to the beach and fined me on the first day of their enforcement. It would have been simple for Byron Shire Council to notify dogwalkers via their microchip registration list and let them know that the rangers would be

prosecuting. ‘I would have given people warnings, I wouldn’t have given fines on that first day. When I was a ranger we used to warn for up to a week – and with dogs it was three warnings before prosecution. The fines are outrageous.’ Ms Baker’s morning walk cost her a whopping $660. She commented that it was $330 per sausage dog, and they don’t earn that much. Gina insists that dog walk-

ers who use Brunswick Beach are responsible. ‘I have been walking the beach every morning for four and a half years. I have never seen an incident with dogs and wildlife. It’s self regulating, no responsible dog walk owner or walker would tolerate a dog going into the hind dunes. All regular and responsible users of the beach not only pick their poo they pick up deposits left by unaware visiting dog walkers.’ According to Ms Baker, the issue is not just about a dog walk, it’s about eroding community values. ‘It’s all very well to talk about environmental ecology of the beach, but what about the social ecology of the beach? For many dog walkers the sense of community gained by these daily walks nourishes them and adds value and meaning to their life and sense of community. ‘I got my dogs because of this beach. I met Arthur Phillips, who is 78 and now one of my closest friends through the beach walks – the psychological impact of coralling people into a short unusable area will

diminish the quality of this community. If Council decides to ban dog walkers altogether it will be a very sad day for all the community, not just Brunswick, but for all the areas where people come from to walk their dogs.’ Gina went on to add: ‘When you erode community values through legislation it affects people on a much deeper level and they will rally for what they believe in – some of the most responsible citizens in our community walk their dogs on the beach, including the deputy mayor!’ Gina suggested that there are alternative strategies the Rangers could adopt: ‘While the legislation may not be changed, perhaps a compassionate bureaucracy in a local area could use their discretion in applying the letter of the law.’ To assist Gina in paying the fines, concerned community members are invited to a fundraising BBQ on Mothers Day May 13 titled ‘A sausage for a sausage!’ rrom 11am at the grassy area outside the Brunswick Heads Surf Club. Dogs welcome.

Walking on the beach with Arthur This short story by Gina Baker was highly commended in the recent Nicholas Shand Beach Hotel Short Story Competition: We are walking Brunswick beach in the sun‌ just like we do on many mornings. Arthur, me and the dogs. Arthur is 76 and I’m 40. You know I think it’s good for Arthur to be friends with a 40 year old lesbian, observed one of the beach regulars. For weeks now Arthur’s been sorting his affairs. He talks to me about his Fukagawa dinner service circa 1950 still in its box, his meticulous rows of first day issues and his case of crazy war writings that no one wants. His language is pre anaesthetic. He’s taking his hardened innards to St Vincents next week. I went‌ the tunnel, you know, last time I had a general. I heard them say‌ we’ve got to bring him back. Well I’ve done everything I need to, I’m ready to go now. Arthur and I stride the beach with our trotting, ear-flapping dogs, his lean stringy brown legs take him way past the grey wooden pole that marks 2.5 km. He walks too on Brunswick sand traffic Sundays when whole families of dogs and people pass him often. He is always ready to talk. When I say dogs it really does them a disservice.There’s Tinker, mother of the pups.

Well not really pups anymore at 16 months. Scout and Charlie Brown live with me and Houdini stayed with Arthur. She’s dark with a few golden tigers eye stands wound into her coat. She’s a traditional, a throwback, Arthur says proudly like a Dad. They try and breed for that you know, I could’ve got fifteen hundred dollars for her if I sold her, but I wouldn’t part with her for all the tea in China. They’re diggers too! They do that this breed, dig. These ones like nothing better than a loose dig through sand scrounging for pipis. Arthur taught me how to throw a pipi. Flat edge out, index finger round the curl of the lip, then spin it on the wet flat after the wave recedes. They go for two, three hundred metres like this and Tinker only chases Arthur’s throws. Arthur can’t throw far this week, his usual long spins fall flat. He’s in pain and his pipi throws give it away with a grimace. Arthur walks the spit of Brunswick with sand pockets and rills forming temporary swimming holes for the dogs who dive under to retrieve pipis, the pipis that are left after the ‘hand collectors’ have scoured, dug and filled their plastic tubs and left before dawn at high speed. He walks the detritus of the beach, sometimes I point out

things he has not seen‌the poison azure and silver of a glaucus that feed on bluebottles and crawl on the underfilm of the sea surface. Aaah I see its foot faces the sky, he says as we pass a scatter of them drowned in sand. In rainjacket he walks on days that terns, gulls and occasionally curlew, sandpiper or pelican witness. He leaves his pile of sand bright towels quietly announcing his daily presence here. Crowded inside both of us our histories fall out in diluted conversations that are interrupted by pipi throws, remarking on the surf conditions, who’s catching how many Dart or Sweet Lips, what those commercial hand collectors are doing. Hit a dog last week in a four wheel drive. He often speaks‌ and he often speaks of other times. Of young times when the west coast was his frontier. One of twelve, he grew up a prince. His mother reminded him he was loved with every look. He carried wood and fetched meat, cleaned the grate and collected skate from the docks at dawn when the fisherfolk arrived from sea. At another time he had a family he hardly saw.There are mausoleums and stress fractures in these stories of golfing in Asia and due professional diligence.The time he spent in Vietnam and Maralinga are

painfully etched in his guts. My guts just don’t tick properly, they’ve gone hard from agent orange and fallout. He tells bittersweet stories of Longlei villiage in Vietnam. Where he found a Buddhist community and changed his heart about war. Absolutely good for nothing war. Quietly he tells of rescuing a naked stingray stung woman from the sea. Stung her on the foot, he says. Screaming she was, thought she was gonna die. Die be buggered, I told her. I’ve been in Vietnam, I know what dying looks like and she wasn’t dying. He passes comment on daily life. Why did that fisherman cut the tail off the spotted dolphin ray and leave its wonderful carcass to rot in the morning heat? He reminds me of the futility of empty death‌ the deaths only the beach knows before the footfall of daily observers. On Tuesday we walk in the slate grey drizzle haze. He reminds me he’s ready to die. All this melancholy sinking wind weighted into the sand. I prepare to have four sausage dogs at one pair of heels. He says don’t be sad for me. I’m sad for me. Why is love measured so easily in loss? We brace our bodies sideways into the angular sting of windy rain Arthur you do what you have

to do and if you go, I’ll know you were ready. He begins to speak to me of Kehan his grandson. He’s so deep‌ on Anzac Day he looked at me. Grandpop were you a soldier? I was I said. Did you kill anyone? Kehan asked again. He looked right into me. Arthur’s eyes fill, finally he breaks the silence Kehan kept asking me did you kill anyone Granpop? I couldn’t answer him, couldn’t lie or answer him, Arthur confesses. Then, finally Arthur turns to

me I’m not ready to go. See you next week then, I say. How’s Arthur? They all ask me on the beach with the four sausages. Today I walk with him again. It anchors me in the day, he says. Arthur’s guts are cut. He’s got four foot less of colon and no gall bladder. This is the family, he says regularly with a wave of his arm. He refers to our dogs, mothered by Tinker, our four. Today I know he means me as well.

Television Guide The feature movies have been abandoned almost altogether, apart from Almodovar’s confronting Bad Education (SBS, Wednesday, 10pm). 1. If you like your crime tough, the award-winning Danish series The Eagle: A Crime Odyssey (SBS, Thursday, 8.30pm) has plenty to offer. 2. The Danes can be seen in a softer aspect on the Eurovision Song Contest (SBS, Saturday and Sunday nights), the feast of cheesy glam nonpareil. 3. Homeless people come together and sing their hearts out in the moving Choir of Hard Knocks (ABC, Tuesday, 8pm). See the choir’s website at www. choirofhardknocks.com.au. Four people in every thousand in Australia are now homeless and it’s only a short step from TV reviewer to cardboard box dweller.

It’s photos like this of my daughter and I that really inspired me to present and preserve these memories for years to come in the form of Scrapbooking. A dear friend introduced me to the world of Scrapbooking a few years ago and when I recently moved from Brisbane to the Northern Rivers area I realised there were no Scrapbooking suppliers within close proximity to me. It was then I decided to start my own Scrapbooking website (www.scrapturethemoment.com.au) in this area and I also sell stock at the Brunswick markets. Have a look at what is on my website and take a peak at ‘My Last Page’ section where I invite comments on my own personal work.’ For all your scrapping needs Call Alison. 0448 429 483

E N T E R TA I N M E N T a bowl of fruit, but I just wasn’t inspired, I think it’s the unseen stuff that I draw inspiration from.’

Locally based Melissa Matveyeff has used the iconic image of Mexican artist Frida Kahlo as the nexus for her exhibition, Deer Mother Mexico, after spending 12 months of painting, combining her understanding of abstract images with stencilling. For Melissa, former resident of the Buttery, painting has been a journey back to herself.

But the real inspiration behind the exhibition is a deep resonance with what the image of Frida signifies for women. ‘I have done all this on instinct and I met with someone the other day, who told me that the deer is part of the Aztec sacred trinity, there’s this story that once the deer is wounded by the arrows it experiences transformation – it’s a sacred trinity, I have drawn Mary as a deer on the cross, and because Frida couldn’t have children she had a pet deer.

‘I am an addict and I come from a fairly intense background. I went off the usual track that I was expected to be on artistically, and I went on to working with street art. I did a lot of stencil art and got interested in that movement. It spun a lot of people out, because it’s very bold and very strong, but it’s not commercial. I went through the Frida Kahlo thing. As a woman I was in a lot of pain, I had a physical health problem, and lot of problems with my partner, so I related to her and the paintings gave me an outlet. It was a healing process of what it meant to me, to be a woman.’ Emotional and physical pain became inspiration for Melissa’s raw work, which she admits doesn’t necessarily match the couch. ‘There was one piece that I did in the end that was called Emergency, and it’s of my body but with Frida’s head. I have spent a lot of time in hospital – I have a lung problem. Every painting I have in the series is an amazing personal reflection, if not me personally, but someone very close to me.’ In Deer Mother, Matveyeff also examines the absence of her relationship with her own mother. ‘I grew up without a female role model, she’s around, we talk but we are different. I am confronting my demons but she never did, so she lives this life crippled by her experiences. I am trying to pull them out and put them on canvas. I have a lot of skulls and skeletons which is representative of day of the dead, and of the continual letting go that I have to do in my recovery. I am definitely an emotional painter!’

‘Frida was a victim to her heart, and I am a victim to my heart, I am so sensitive to the world and to people and I pretty much work by myself and it’s the only way I can be in the world. So many artists say it, I don’t choose to do this I need to do it. If I don’t paint I am a mess, I end up with major depression. ‘Frida was probably most famous for the paintings that exposed her deepest pain, with her organs depicted brutally and visibly on the canvas.

The Frida Factor

Melissa started out painting, providing commissions for a local interior designer. It was something she soon found less

than fulfilling as the need to realise her own artistic voice was always stronger than the one that sought commercial success. ‘I made the decision about twelve months ago that I was going to follow my heart more than I was going to follow external things like having enough for a new car. It can be a sad story though, it’s almost self defeating sometimes, you know what sells and you know what doesn’t. I sometimes feel like a contemporary artist in a country town, one of my closest

friends is Carla Dickens (a fellow contemporary artist) and she has been an amazing inspiration to me, she has given me the belief in the backbone of the essence of what it means to be an artist, it’s very raw.’

As an artist and a person, Matveyeff admits to being someone who feels stifled by conventional expectations. ‘At art school I was a ratbag – I was the one that refused to do realistic things, I always put my abstract edge on it, and the lecturer said one day, you’ll make a fantastic abstract artist, but you have to learn to draw

‘She was such a gorgeous woman, there is one quote I love: ‘I drank to drown my pain, but the damned pain learned how to swim and now I am overwhelmed by this decent and good behaviour. ‘It’s hard being a good girl! Sometimes I just feel this outrage so I suppose the exhibiton is about growing up and becoming a woman.’ Melissa’s work has just been selected for Queensland’s Churchie Emerging Artist Award and she is an invited exhibiting artist for this year’s FEHVA. Her current exhibition was originally planned for Byron Fine Art Gallery, but when the business sold, Melissa found herself with a ready to hang exhibition, but no place to hang it. Lismore’s Alleyway Gallery recognised her talent and invited her to present her showing at their gallery at 89 Magellan Street in Lismore. Opening is Saturday 19 May, at 6pm, all are welcome.

LISTEN TO THE BACKBONE

FOR WE ARE YOUNG AND FREE The other day I was sitting outside the cinema, and I got to observe some young kids hanging out. Spotty teens with badly dyed hair and too much eyeliner lighting up ciggies. I could still see the baby etched into their faces, which looked kind of comical as they all tried to casually smoke. Their selfconsciousness was so apparent I winced. I tried to eavesdrop but I couldn’t understand what they were saying. I know there is now a woman who has patented the Dunstan Method for decoding the cries of babies, but has anyone even attempted to decipher adolescent grunts? ‘euggh’ could be interpreted as ‘I hear what you are saying Mum, but I feel that I should challenge myself’ and ‘uuuggh’ is possibly,’Oh no, disaster, no more three quarter tights left at Supre.’ It’s so easy to forget, that the surly kid with the greasy fringe smoking a durry outside the cinema was once us. Kids teach you a lot. I know that your sunnies can never be too big, it’s a fashion crime to be in a public place without two inches of lip gloss and the mullet is not a prison punishment but the hair cut of choice. I burn candles outside salons where beautiful young teenage girls willingly allow their lovely hair to be mutilated into what often resembles chicken feathers which makes them look like long fringed ferrets. The Emo look is rather amusing. I adopted the same look myself when I was a teenager, except we really were punks. We weren’t emotional. We were angry. We were anarchists who wanted to subvert the dominant paradigm, until Mum and Dad stopped paying our rent and we had to get jobs in the public service. I once wrote for an Anarchist magazine, where it was my duty to typeset and plagiarise articles from underground UK publications. On one issue I reported on the importance of shoplifting from chainstores. Small businesses were a no no, but it was one’s civil duty to steal from the conglomerates. I felt politically compelled to raid David Jones. Underneath my anarchist rags I was wearing designer bras and diamante g-strings. I was on the verge of destroying the capitalist system when I was caught, trying to slip a copy of Dostoyevsky’s Crime and Punishment into the back of my jeans. If he’d been less of a socialist realist I wouldn’t have had such a whopping bulge. Anarchy had served me well. I had the best underwear of any undergraduate. Unfortunately I also had a fine and the dominant paradigm continued to be un-subverted. I joined the Socialist Alliance for two weeks. The boys were so ugly I left. I became a swampy, but wearing black jeans and black polo shirts with three inches of white pancake was so hot in a Brisbane summer I thought I was going to pass out. I became a feminist and went home and frightened my grandmother with my armpit hair and lesbian overalls. I dropped out of uni for a semester and attempted to discover the lot of the worker by joining a road crew. That really sucked. The liberal life of the privileged intelligensia was way more appealing. Then one day I had this revelation that you didn’t have to try so hard. I was 30. Now I’m almost normal. Teenagers need our compassion, not our judgement, because in years to come, they have to make peace with what a complete and utter twat they once were.

Jazz has always attracted young musicians who get restless and bored with the predictable and cliched constraints of most commercial music. Backbone is the latest collaboration of the cream of Byron’s new school contemporary jazz players. Fresh from a tour of Melbourne, where they picked up drummer Aaron McCoullough (who has worked with Bob Mintzer (USA), Paul Grabowsky and Scott Tinkler (to name a few), Backbone will be recording live at the Blue Birdy on Wednesday, finishing a week of performances in the various north coast jazz venues. Presenting contemporary material composed by Backbone as well as a couple of select tunes from the modern jazz masters, this is going to be a firing gig showcasing the amazing precocious talents of Aaron McCoullough on drums, Thierry G R Fossemalle on bass, Matt Smith on guitar and Mitch Carey on tenor saxophone. Backbone at The Blue Birdy at the Buddha Bar 7.30pm on Wednesday. $10 entry.

SPLENDOUR SPENDERS Last year tickets to Splendour in the Grass went faster than condoms at a lovein – so I’d suggest you start warming up those purchase muscles. The same ticketing system will be in place as last year to ward off evil scalpers. Tix are on sale from 9am Monday morning, and can be purchased on the internet: www.splendourinthegrass. com or you can phone 1300 762 545. With headliners like Powderfinger, Kaiser Chiefs, Lily Allen and the

Arctic Monkeys, it’s going to be a Splendour of Extreme Excellence. Splendour in The Grass 2007 will be taking place at Belongil Fields on Saturday and Sunday 4 & 5 August.

BEAT YOURSELF UP Witness Australia’s best up and coming drummer of the year and the winner of the 2006 Billy Hydes National Drum Play-Offs at the Byron Community Centre this Saturday. I saw him years ago when he was just a kid at the Dolphin Awards and was astounded by the enormity of his talent. He can take percussion to a new level and displays a mind blowing multilimb coordination, blistering speed, and groundbreaking foot/hand techniques in this rhythmic spectacular. From technically astounding drumming, to humorous novelty acts, and with special guests including master drummer Greg Sheehan, internationally awarded beatboxer Tom Thum and dancers from Raw Dance Company, this promises to be an exhilarating and unique musical event for all ages.

punchy horn lines, five vox melodies and awesome percussion breaks. They play the Beach Hotel on Friday.

I LOVE YOU LANG TIME Jeff Lang needs no introduction to Australia. He’s long been heralded as one of our greatest musicians, songwriters and guitarists. Now he heads out on the road to coincide with the release of Prepare Me Well; a Jeff Lang anthology from 1994 – 2006. This new album is a must have for lovers of folk, roots blues, acoustic music and lovers of fine music. The CD serves perfectly as an introduction to Lang’s work, or as a complement to a collection for an avid fan. He’s been called a rock god, his slide is powerful and original and his fingerpicking is unique and inspiring. He plays the Bangalow A&I Hall on Thursday 17 May. 8pm.

DUST TO DUST Thursday sees Jeremy Edwards and the Dust Radio Band play the Rails. Apparently these guys are

rather snazzy and Mick Daley gave them a glowing rave in his Northern Star column, saying that he and his band enjoyed them so much that their CD is no longer playable on the Re-Mains van stereo. They were even called the highlight of the Tamworth Country Music Festival – and that’s no mean feat. Youse better git youse butts down to yonder Rails.

ARE YOU OKA? Byron Bay favourites OKA will be bringing their organic world sounds to Durrumbul Hall on Friday. Fresh from a Broken Head recording hiatus,their performance will include a mix of news songs never played live before, and a fusion of electronic beats, didgerdoo and world percussion from their previous three albums that we have all grown to love. This will be the last Byron show for some time as OKA head off to Japan and Canada for an extended overseas tour. OKA will be supported by the raw energy and incredible song-writing talent of Saritah. From 8pm till late.

WORLD WIDE WOOKIE Rastawookie is a fusion off many different genres that creates a unique universal musical language. A multicultural clash, their compositions are influenced by music from South America, the Caribbean and across the globe to the modern western world where organic meets electronic. There are six core members who always come up with a massive horn section. Rastawookie shows are known for their mashin up skankin guitars with deep bass lines, rolling drums,

[ culture ] * DANCE RUNNING OUT OF TIME Climate change has finally made it on to the political agenda, although the clock is ticking and we are reminded of the incredible urgency for radical change. In Tales of the City 11 at the Byron Community Centre this week, dancers tackle this challenging theme in a piece they have entitled: Time is running out. Jen Murays work explores the relentless speed and mechanisation of urban life and the sense of alienation and helplessness that people may experience. Jen will also present her dance film Brief Encounters that was devised in Canada. Michael Hennessy has choreographed a work titled Streams that evokes the significance of our interaction with things around us both animate and inanimate and the impact certain decisions which are made have on our environment. Dale Hutson and Natasha Middleton’s Earth Tone is inspired by nature; the innocence and purity of nature’s random yet perfect intricacies. The piece is beautifully supported with visual designs by Sean Watson and costumes by Kellie Donavan. Natasha will also present her beautifully rendered dance film Swimming the Lunar Sea choreographed by Crissy Parrot. Other works include a powerful duo by Cristy Kilkeary and Mia Cuyler; a lyrical solo by French dancer Juliet Elena and intriguing interludes by Jacinta White and Tinuviel Walker. Tales of the City 11 provides beautiful imagery and offers richness

and diversity in contemporary dance works by some of the region’s leading choreographers and dancers. Byron Bay Community Centre on Wednesday and Thursday. 8 pm, Tickets $18/ $15, available at the door or phone 6685 5659.

ON ING SENSATI EN DRUMM E SATURDAY RS TE PE E TR GEN MUNITY CEN BYRON COM

in all its seasons Brian has taken hundreds of colour slides, selecting the best to compare with Monet’s magnificent paintings. More than half of Monet’s painting life was spent at Giverny, 43 years during which the garden – and painting it – became his life’s work. To walk in that garden today is to walk into and among his brilliant paintings. $15 with supper after the lecture.

SEEING SPOTS The Federal Hall presents their monthly movie night in May and features: Spotswood on Saturday. Winner of 3 AFI awards and directed by Mark Joffe, this quirky film has a great cast, including (all very young) Russell Crowe, Ben Mendelsohn, Anthony Hopkins, Toni Collette and Alwyn Kurts, Anthony Hopkins plays Wallace, a time and motion study expert who has come to Spotswood to turn the workers at the local moccasin factory from a bunch of eccentric oddballs into a well-oiled production machine. Alwyn Kurts is wonderful as the longtime factory owner who values people over money and eventually wins the day. Plus a range of beautiful curries and condiments supplied by Coorabell School P&C with cakes and beverages. BYO booze and cushions. Door open at 7pm and no entry after 8pm.

DROPPING A FEW RENNIES Rennie’s Punkadelic Pilgrimage to Byron Bay... to the question, ‘Which actor would play you in The ‘Rennie Pilgrim Story’?’ Rennie answers, ‘Mike Myers: First thing I’d do, I would have to have the scriptwriter beheaded for spelling my name wrong...’ OK folks, it’s RENNIE PILGREM with his first album in more than two years, hot off the TCR production line playing at La-La-Land this Thursday, returning to beats, the core of the ‘true’ breaks sound. The album Punkadelic is jam packed with electro-punkfunk-breaks, live instruments and ‘proper’ breaks. His tour of Australia will feature hot releases from Punkadelic as well as live keyboards and live digital mixing. I’ve caught Rennie via the ether and here’s what he’s got to say to tease you all into La-La-Land for his set. In my opinion Rennie is always well worth seeing/ hearing because he is usually living up to the expectation of overseas DJs having to excite us with fresh tunes. How has the breaks scene changed in the last 3 years & how do you see it evolving? ‘Breaks has always fed off other scenes and

incorporated their sounds and ideas into a non 4/4 format. It’s happening currently with the omni-present electro-house sound that is everywhere at the moment. Personally I think breaks has lost its way a bit and needs to get back to having proper breaks in it again. A good breaks tune will rock a crowd with just its beats (that’s where the term came from) most tracks today have lamearse beats and it’s not good enough I tell you.’ Is vinyl still relevant in 2007, or has it become merely a fetish? ‘Actually I think quite a few labels have realized that, as well it being important to keep vinyl alive for historic reasons, it’s approx 3 times more profitable than mp3’s, so it still plays an important role in keeping small labels going.’ As a label owner as well as an artist, how easy are you finding it to adjust to the digital download revolution? ‘I’m finding it tough to be honest. It looks good on paper, no manufacturing, instant availability but each site has a different requirement for uploading (which is a pain in the arse) and you get a hell of a lot less ($) for your music. The other downside is it will affect the way albums are made because the public can cherry-pick which tunes they want rather than get the whole album. So artists and

stars

their labels may get more conservative in their choice of material.’ What’s your favourite plugin this week? ‘What a nerdy question, may I suggest you get out more? It’s not a plug-in, it’s a real one called a Morley Wah-Wah peddle which has got a great ‘Fuzz’ dial on it.’ Which are your fave countries to go & play? And you don’t have to say Australia. Most open-minded? Most nutbags crowd? ‘Ambar in Perth takes a lot of beating for all the above. Other than that I would say England because you know you’ve done the business there when it ‘goes off’. At La-La Land, are we going to expect a live-set too? ‘As long as you can keep away dickheads who drop water bottles near my laptop (thanks pisshead in Hobart)’. A DJ and producer not to be missed by people who like a stimulating and unpredictable set of fresh choons – I’ll be that sweaty punter on the dance-floor!

ASTRAL INDICATIONS FOR THIS WEEK SUGGEST EARTHY PLEASURES, ENJOYABLE SHORT TRIPS, STIMULATING COMMUNICATION WITH RELATIONS AND SOME EXTREMELY HEARTY TAURAN PARTYING‌ ARIES: Imagination’s a great asset in the creative department, but much less helpful in assessing other people’s motivations. Don’t be too quick to misinterpret a lack of understanding, sensitivity, communication skills or available time as a lack of caring this week.

LEO: Leos have great stage presence and know instinctively how to connect with an audience – which also makes you good teachers. This powerful intuition has a message for you this week about using your theatrical talents to work with the less fortunate and gifted.

TAURUS: This week’s birthday hoofer Fred Astaire’s your fabulous example of what Tauran poet Robert Browning called this dance of plastic circumstance... Don’t struggle with whatever challenges present themselves – channel a dancing deity and glide like Fred.

VIRGO: This week needs you not to be a loner – spreading yourself around will lift your spirits, change your luck and rearrange your state of mind. If you need help, don’t hesitate to get it – you won’t lose face or status by acknowledging you can’t do it alone.

GEMINI: This is one of the year’s peak times to let your body talk – and really pay attention to what it’s saying. Make appointments for any checkups you’ve been putting off and book yourself in for a deluxe service – with the works.

LIBRA: This is an especially creative week for Librans – aesthetically, business-wise and of course in the finest art of all: getting along with others. Plus the present no nonsense energy makes it easier to cut to the chase rather than taking the usual Libran scenic route‌

CANCER: Lady Venus of the graceful ways moves into Cancer corner this week with an unexpected, though of course not undeserved, gift or windfall. Plus the likelihood of precisely the practical help, sound counsel or magical assistance you most need when you least expect it.

SCORPIO: Your connection to your environment and the natural world are particularly significant at the moment. Decisions about upgrading your living situation, improving your surroundings, even moving to new quarters are on this week’s Scorpio storyboard.

SAGITTARIUS: Midweek Venus quitting the sign of the gadabout Twins for stay-athome Cancer settles travelling Saggies down for some cosy domesticity with friends, family or your own company. Sound boring? It won’t be – there’s no place like home for real life drama. CAPRICORN: Let others rabbit on – what you do speaks for itself. This week showcases your talents as one of the zodiac’s most impressive self-starters – cool and assured, firm and effective, unimpressed by threats‌ in a word unstoppable. AQUARIUS: Just when things are heading one way they turn a corner. One minute they’re there, the next – where? In the immortal words of Elvis Costello, it’s a mystery dance. But a surprising insight or unexpected suggestion will reroute fortune back in your direction. PISCES: If your refusing to take things too seriously doesn’t amuse others, too bad – a light heart is this week’s best medicine. And if your making an unexpected choice shocks or surprises those closest, allow them time to process it. But follow, as they say, your bliss.

SPIDERMAN 3 The super hero movie is not this reviewer’s favourite genre, but I do recall enjoying Spiderman 2. The thing is, I can’t remember one scene from it, so it would be bogus to make comparisons. Maybe instant forgetability is part of the nature of the beast anyway. With so many humungous SFX and CGI features being released, it’s too easy to just dutifully turn up and marvel at the spectacle but totally disregard the story. But this instalment of the challenges of nerdy Peter Parker’s alterego always stays a cut above the slothful sin of style over substance. Because studios must provide bang for buck (reportedly 250 mill of them), the fights are, as you’d expect, a triumph of technology (yawn), but, if momentarily impressive and always state of the art, they only distract from the personal problems being addressed. As an individual, Parker/Spiderman has become a love-me-do who is incapable of giving his girlfriend, Mary Jane, emotional support when she needs it. More convincing as a failed Broadway starlet than a Queen of France, Kirsten Dunst (what a humble beauty she is) discovers that her beau is the type of guy that, if you’re not talking about him, he’s not listening. It is the pair’s romance that binds together all of the intricate plot lines and when their relationship falters

Parker loses himself to the darker forces that are ever present in all our lives. It’s a nice twist, with Spidey’s adversaries also shown to be victims of the struggle between good and evil that besets humanity. It’s funny too, with terrific comic cameos from the editor of the Daily Bugle and the gawky daughter of Parker’s landlord. It might have done without the religious overtones in the big barney at the end, and it might have delivered its message of forgiveness so that it didn’t seem so twee, but its decency is genuine and its characters worthy of our concern. John Campbell

his earphones and video games. Johnson has got it all, including a beautiful wife and daughters. Writer/director Mike Binder gives him the early scenes, watching him at work and at home, where the veneer of his contentment is exposed. As he insinuates himself into the other man’s life we get to understand the awful grief that Charlie has been unable to bear and it is he who then takes prominence. The main sub-plot concerns Johnson’s rebuttal of Donna, an obsessive patient on the rebound from a marital crisis.

THE LAST KING OF SCOTLAND

REIGN OVER ME Don’t be deterred by the ‘starring Adam Sandler’ header, this is a fantastic film. As Charlie Fineman, a traumatised widower who lost his family on 9/11, he plays it straight and handles the assignment with surprising conviction. Seeming to channel Dustin Hoffman’s unhinged and introverted Rain Man, Sandler’s performance is perfectly countered by Don Cheadle’s calm. Cheadle plays Alan Johnson, a New York dentist and former college buddy of Charlie. After not seeing each other since their student days, they are reunited and Johnson determines to help his old friend out of his emotional hole. Charlie is friendless and cuts himself off from the world with

they are more than compensated for by the poetry and lustre of so many others – at their first meeting, when Johnson jumps aboard Charlie’s motorised scooter for a late night burl around New York, the screenplay’s warmth is given full reign. Its target is the heart so you would be advised to abandon weary cynicism when entering. The loss of loved ones can never be compensated for but the lives of those left behind can always be retrieved. John Campbell

She propositions him, wanting to be comforted by him as he wants to comfort Charlie. Her character fulfils an important role, but it is less convincing and when she turns up as a client of the shrink who treats Charlie it clangs as an unnecessary contrivance. The Donna diversion does, however, contribute a number of good gags in a script that is leavened by much dry humour. There are occasional flat moments, but

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

‘You know what? When I look back on my little life and the birds I’ve known, and think of all the things they’ve done for me and the little I’ve done for them, you’d think I’ve had the best of it along the line. But what have I got out of it? I’ve got a bob or two, some decent clothes, a car, I’ve got me health back and I ain’t attached. But I ain’t got me peace of mind – and if you ain’t got that, you ain’t got nothing. I dunno. It seems to me if they ain’t got you one way they’ve got you another. So what’s the answer?

COOKIES CUT IT Byron Bay Cookie Company (BBCC) was recently accredited with the British Retail Consortium (BRC) Food Technical Standard. This makes BBCC now one of only 14 or so companies in Australia to have the BRC accreditation and the only company certified in the bakery sector. As well as obtaining this prestigious benchmark for quality, BBCC received the highest possible rating during the auditing process. Responding to industry needs the BRC developed and introduced the BRC Food Technical Standard in 1998 to be used to evaluate manufacturers of retail food products. While primarily developed for the UK and EU markets needs, this standard has became invaluable to other organisations across the industry. It is regarded as the benchmark for best practice in the food industry. This and its use outside the UK has seen it evolve into a global standard used not just to assess retailer suppliers but also as a framework upon which many companies have based their supplier assessment programs and manufacture of some branded products. The majority of UK and many European and global retailers will only consider business with suppliers who have gained certification to the appropriate BRC Global Standard. ‘It had become a requirement from some of our major UK customers such as Harvey Nichols, John Lewis and Waitrose to be BRC certified,’ says Richard Raffaelli, BBCC general manager. ‘While we’ve had the HACCP accreditation for a number of years, BRC was the next major milestone in achieving certification for food manufacturing excellence. ‘BRC is one of the toughest standards in the world to achieve and the auditing process was stringent. The team worked exceptionally hard to achieve the accreditation and this certification certainly recognises the entire team’s dedication and commitment to continued excellence in food manufacturing for our local and international markets.’ Byron Bay Cookie Company will be re-audited every year. BBCC manufactures gourmet cookies and savoury products and recently opened the Byron Bay Cookie Company Gourmet Foods Store in the Byron Industrial Estate. The store showcases their full complement of products as well as other locally produced gourmet foods.

COOK UP A STORM FOR PREMMIES Cook up a storm in the kitchen and help Australia’s premature babies get the best possible start in life. Charity initiative The One-Armed Cookbook contains a collection of easy and delicious recipes from celebrities, mums, dads, friends and family – specifically chosen for busy people wanting to create tasty food on the run. All of the funds raised through the sale of the book (100% of the $29.95 purchase price) will go towards helping Australia’s premature babies get the best possible start in life, and at the same time help women become mothers of healthy babies. The money raised will be donated to Australia’s largest Perinatal Research Centre (PRC) at the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital (RBWH) as part of the 2007 RBWH Research Foundation’s Mother’s Day Appeal. Recipes donated by celebrities include international celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay’s Hot Chocolate Fondant; Lorna Jane’s Toasted Muesli; from national TV show Sunrise, Mel’s Fruit Crumble and Kochie’s Hello Dolly Squares; Channel Ten’s Kim Watkin’s Penne Carbonara; Channel Nine’s Kerri-Anne Kennerley’s Beef Wellington; Tim Horan’s Spag Bol and Professor Paul Colditz’s (Director of the Perinatal Research Centre at the RBWH) Watercress Soup, which was donated by Princess Diana to the Neonatal Unit at John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford where the Professor was undertaking research in 1987. Over 150 people have given their time, talent or financial assistance to help produce the book. The One-Armed Cookbook concept was created by three Brisbane mothers: Tara Castle, Sally Warren and Victoria Brown, who meet regularly as part of an informal mothers group and all share a passion for good food, family and friendship. The book includes recipes gathered from mums, dads, friends, family, chefs and celebrities from around the world. Many of the mothers in the group were blessed to have had an incredible pregnancy and a very healthy birth at full term. However, a number of the mothers had a more challenging time and gave birth prematurely with some babies weighing just over 1 kg and having to spend over two months in hospital. These problems inspired the group to develop the Cookbook and help raise funds for the hospital that helped their friends. Find out more about The One-Armed Cookbook at www. onearmedcookbook.com.

WHEN CRABS ARE ACCEPTABLE

Suzanne stands beside me at the fish shop ordering crab. I, who have come for the hot-smoked salmon whose flesh I will slide easily away from skin and skeleton, am visibly impressed. When I ask her how she plans to serve it she nonchalantly reels off flavourings like lime and ginger and chilli, though stressing the simplicity of it all. Simplicity! The faithful old smoked fish and potato salad I have planned for dinner is my definition of simplicity; to be mucking around with gadgets in order to extricate slender tendrils of flesh is definitely not. I leave the shop feeling briefly ashamed at my cowardice, or laziness, or both. Out of all the crustaceans it is crab which I resist most, and it’s not only the preparation. There was a time in my Sydney days when friends would throw crab feasts, cooking potfuls of the beasts in fiery broths or sauces; there would be lots of bread for the mopping-up and apparently, because I never attended one, a fantastic time was had by all. I wasn’t remotely tempted to go: it just sounded messy and chaotic. At Surfers Paradise last year when we Sunday-lunched at the Crown Plaza, languidly spinning on high within its revolving restaurant so smoothly and imperceptibly that it was a shock each time our outlook altered, we piled our plates from the lavish buffet of superbly fresh seafood but it was the crab claws we left untouched at the end, fat though they were: too much fiddling around for such little reward. There is, however, one type of crab for which I will always make exception and that is the soft-shell crab, which you can consume in its entirety, shell and all. Certain types of crab are captured at precisely the time they begin to shed their skins – or moult – when for several days all they have is a soft covering. Gerhard Spatz, executive chef at Spinnaker’s Restaurant in the Ballina RSL, once executed one of the loveliest dishes utilising soft shell crab as part of a degustation: the memory of its crunchy carapace and ethereal interior remains with me still. Steve Snow’s version at Fins restaurant in Byron Bay – served in a chilli tempura – comes very close... There are 52,000 species in the crustacean category of seafood, although the most commonly known are a mere handful: crab, shrimp, lobster, spiny lobster, scampi, crayfish, bugs and yabbies. (Barnacles belong here too, bless their hearts, described generally as shrimplike animals which stand on their heads.) Distinct from shellfish – which are characterised by their hinged two-part shell – these aquatic beings have jointed legs, a hard shell and no backbone. Their hard shells are used for protection, and they are shed and replaced several times during the course of their lives to allow their bodies to grow.

Is it because the preparation of most crustaceans is daunting or bothersome to many people that they belong to that echelon of posh food, fancy food, luxury food? It must be a factor, surely. The most obvious luxury crustacean is the lobster – although interestingly up until the 20th century in North America local lobster was unpopular and eating it a measure of poverty. (It was often used as fertiliser on farms, forsooth.) To eat lobster, fresh is best and to cook it the lobster should be purchased live. This throws up the debate about ‘humane’ ways of killing it (which has always struck me as a contradictory proposition): should the lobster be frozen, or thrust into boiling water, or micro-waved? Someone recently invented a method of electrocuting them – an electric shock lasting five seconds – a prospect I find grotesque, irrationally. Apparently the flesh has more flavour the boiling-water way of murder; I personally would prefer to leave that whole sad side of things up to others. Lately the crustacean I have been loving is the bug, a type of slipper lobster. At the Byron at Byron Resort they are serving a most gorgeous salad of bug-meat in sweet big chunks strewn through shredded fennel, baby rocket and kipfler potato slices spiked with slivers of fresh red chilli. And David Forster at Paupiettes in Lismore does a sensational entree in which he coats his house-made rag pasta in garlicky butter and serves it coiled and steaming and crowned with fat split grilled bugs faintly charred, whose lightly briny sweetness drips into the depths of the perfectly chewy papardelle. Sublime stuff I will never cook for myself or for others, and for which I am ever grateful that there are crustacean experts who will.

NRCF supports WIRES conservation The Northern Rivers Community Foundation (NRCF) has come to the rescue of our local threatened fauna species by providing funding for a Community Conservation Toolkit which was initiated by the Wildlife Information Rescue and Infor mation Ser vice (WIRES). Concerned about the impact of climate change on local wildlife, Sharon McGrigor and Virginia Seymour, both WIRES members, originally teamed up to commence a three month monitoring trial at Rosebank.

Sharon McGrigor from WIRES and Virginia Seymour from Greencorps, show Megan Edwards from NRCF and Joseph Moriarty how a hair trap works

NPWS community representative. Virginia is an Environmental Scientist, WIRES rescuer and Team Leader with GreenCorps. ‘We chose the Rosebank project site, because it lies in the path of where wildlife may migrate southwards from the Nightcap World Heritage National Park and it also borders the Whian Whian State Conservation Area,’ said Sharon. ‘We then set about obtaining the equipment and relevant licences required to undertake the project and found that the equipment was difficult to obtain and expensive to hire. So we asked WIRES NR if they would support the project and went searching for funds.� The application was sent to NRCF in response to last year’s Connecting Community’ Grants Program and was allocated a grant of $2,000 to purchase the equipment. ‘What we enjoyed about this project was that it was an innovative community

response to an emerging environmental issue, that can be used for many years to come by various members of the community,’ said Megan Edwards, NRCF Executive Officer. ‘Funding this project also helps NRCF let the community know that we support environmental projects.’ There are a number of partners in the project, who have helped it eventuate. Fox Road Landcare provided funds for the testing of the hair samples collected. Newtrain/GreenCorps helped coordinate a Wildlife Team of ten volunteer 19-20 year old people, who want to learn more about wildlife conser vation. WIRES assisted further, by putting the GreenCorps Wildlife Team through a Rescue and Immediate Care training course, specifically tailored for wildlife identification. The project site involves ten private properties and the landholders, all Fox Rd Landcare members, have volunteered their properties and time for the project. Brunswick Valley Bird Watchers and Birds Australia members have offered their assistance in identifying bird species and Jan Olley, NPWS Advisory Committee President, has also assisted the project. Another supporter of the project is the Brunswick Valley Landcare Community Support Officer Georgia Beyer. Georgia says, ‘It’s about understanding the biodiversity that lives around us, because if we understand it we can manage it much better.’ The Community Conservation Toolkit is the first of its kind, and includes a collection of wildlife monitoring equipment that can be used to record and detect wildlife, in particular threatened species. The kit contains hair funnels and wafers (with sticky tape that collects hairs from gliders, possums, native mice and bandicoots trying

to get to bait), Elliott traps (for catching small ground dwelling mammals), drift nets and buckets (for little planigales, frogs and reptiles), spotlights and binoculars (for spotting nocturnal animals), megaphone, MP3, and call playback equipment (to locate sugar, squirrel and yellow bellied gliders, owls and koalas who sometimes call back to the played sound), CDs of frog/bird/ animal calls (for call playback and for identification), Site Assessment Forms, reference and identification books, a Global Positioning System (for recording the site location accurately), gloves, carry tubs and the Threatened Biodiversity Survey & Assessment Guidelines Manual (prepared by NPWS). The two WIRES members are concerned about the effects of climate change on threatened species, and are wondering if it is already making its impact felt on our threatened species. ‘Climate change models have predicted that wildlife may migrate to more elevated areas and towards the south of the continent, seeking a cooler environment,’ says Virginia. ‘This will mean that local wildlife may move from the protected areas of National Parks onto private lands which lie on these migrational paths.’ ‘Taking this into consideration, scientific data is required in order to monitor the effects of climate change and the migration of fauna. You can’t monitor such an event without first knowing what wildlife is already present,’ Sharon said. ‘Monitoring is seen as the first step. With the Community Conservation Toolkit held and maintained by WIRES, it will be far more accessible to the broader community.’ WIRES NR Rescue Hotline can be called on 6628 1898.

Bangers fifteen mash Kyogle Grant O’neill Bangalow Rugby headed west to record a solid 17-8 win in last Saturday’s Round 4 match against Kyogle. In a dominant performance, Bangalow scored two impressive tries, one to Ben Cummings and the other to Matt Bleakly. Cummings also kicked two conversions and a penalty goal. Kyogle finished strongly, but Bangalow’s defence didn’t falter until the last ten minutes. Coach Simon Balcon was wrapt with the team’s effort. The forwards hunted as a pack and ran out decisive winners in the battle up front, while the backline used the ball constructively

and converted opportunities into points. Players’ player was a draw, with Simon Leighton and Rob Lynch taking the honours. Lynch 3, Cummings 2 and Nick Hornery 1 were the standouts on the day. In juniors, Bangalow went down to Ballina 10-15. Try scorers for Bangalow were Zac Hill and Nick Sherman. It was a fine effort from everybody, but special mention goes to Davis Jenson, who was the players’ pick, and Angus Page, who toiled throughout at halfback. The forwards were willing and the backs continue to improve. The side is looking ahead to next Friday night’s

Sports Roundup with John Campbell

Surfer drops in on Olympics’ endless bummer John Campbell Australia’s Wayne ‘Rabbit’ Bartholomew, world champion board rider in 1978 and now President of the Professional Surfers Association, is calling for surfing to be included as an Olympic event. It is already among a number of sports that are recognised but not granted full participatory status by the IOC. The list is a beauty, ranging from the less than vigorous billiards to the backyard tug-of-war. Preposterously, power boating also gets a look in, as does wushu, yet another limb flailing martial art. Sadly, and given that it is the one thing in which the Poms might fancy themselves as having a better than even chance of picking up a medal, there is no darts. There are plenty of others that have come and gone over the years. Rugby, lacrosse and polo were once part of the Olympic family (does that self-bestowed term win gold for wankery?) and, spare my days, cricket! Could we bear the boys in yellow having another mid-pitch love-in? Team sports in general don’t feel right at what is meant to be an orgy of individual excellence. Soccer especially, a globalised industry, is surely there as an impostor. Craig Foster (what do they know of football who know only football?) would argue that its presence is valid because of the numbers obsessed by it world wide. But isn’t 24/7 a reasonable amount of coverage for the beauti-

ful game? With more cups and championships to compete for than even SBS can keep up with, does it really need to muscle in on what was once a celebration of amateurism? So surfing, a singular pursuit if ever there was one, should at least be given preference to the conglomerate

ball game. Which raises the question of its self-image. Is it, in fact, a sport? Or is it a lifestyle? An expression of a particular culture? The guys, and gals too now, despite being more brand conscious that most groups, are inclined to be a tad precious when speaking of the pastime. You will often hear them sprin-

kling their terminology with no-brainers like ‘spiritual’ and ‘mystical,’ as if these things weren’t to be found anywhere, anytime, in every grain of sand. (I experience them when sitting on the lounge with my cat watching ‘My Name Is Earl’). Compliance with the Olympic anti-doping code

might also be problematic. Without wishing to tar all surfers with the same brush, it’s fair to say that more than a few of them have been known to ‘experiment with’ (don’t you just love that expression?) bongs and eccies and other substances not condoned by Pierre de Coubertin. Can you imagine, too, the scarring of the coastline if developers were to get on board to construct the ‘environmentally sensitive and tasteful’ seating arrangements demanded by the hoi polloi who would want to attend? Most of these people are, like Pavlov’s dog, reacting to strict social engineering designed to make mindless event goers of them. They’ll turn up in flag waving droves at anything that attracts a headline. At Sydney 2000, punters went berko in the hope of being present at whatever event was not already booked out by nobs and insiders. I heard one bloke say on radio how thrilled he was to have got tickets for his whole family. When asked to what sport, he said, like the gullible drongo of the year, ‘badminton.’ Competitive surfing, if not an oxymoron, is also based on subjective marking. This would not make it unique at the Olympics – diving, gymnastics, and others are too – but it is nonetheless a shonky way to determine the winner of any contest. ‘We wuz robbed’ is a common cry from those who thought their 7.5 should have been

Devils deliver for the faithful

John Campbell The Red Devils confirmed for their die-hard fans on Sunday that last season’s ignominy has been buried. Their 60-0 win over the Grafton Ghosts was every bit as comprehensive as the scoreline suggests and marred only by the dislocated elbow suffered by centre Jay McDermott fifteen minutes into the game. The

Bay was already in charge, though, leading 12 – 0 after converted tries to winger Tobin Couples and nuggety hooker Corey Bond. Grafton’s spirit was willing but their skill level and fitness were not up to the home side’s. With the question of by how far entering the mind, the ref unexpectedly stole the limelight by going base over apex, drawing from the

crowd the obligatory Bronx cheer. Not that you could blame him, for the surface of the ground was in parts as sandy as the Sahara. What the Devils might have turned on with firmer footing is anybody’s guess. Under a chalky blue sky and with a gentle nor’ easter ruffling the flags, winger Noel King then took an intercept and sprint 70 metres to go in under the posts. A knock-on from the restart would have had coach Vince Nicklin spitting chips, but Grafton never really threatened and in the ten minutes before half time the Bay’s lead was bumped up to a demoralising 36-0. Nicklin’s instructions at the break were to stay focused and work for a nil scoreline. Seventeen minutes later, the Devils were up 48 nil and the Ghosts’ return to halfway for the resumption

was funereal. The Devils began to force the pass in their eagerness to get the ball to their flanks, resulting in some scrappy play that gave the visitors some hope of breaking their duck. But it was not to be and with five minutes to go five-eighth Jared De Thiery (pictured) got a deserved eighty-metre try for 54 zip. And so it seemed destined to end, until the bizarre finale. With seconds left, the

an 8, as ancient national or ethnic antagonisms frequently raise their head. Not least of the issues that would need to be resolved would be the location of the event. Obviously, there would have been no probs at Sydney, but Beijing is not known for its point break and neither were Athens, Seoul, Moscow or Montreal. Instead of adding more, I reckon that there is an equally worthy argument to reduce the number of sports in the Olympics. Better still, drop the farcical circus altogether. With its obscene and wasteful spending, juvenile jingoism, media ratbaggery and obese body of greasy officials, it has become, like the Eurovision song contest, a maggoty cash cow. Just another tool for keeping a supine populace relaxed and comfortable and a wipeout for surfing’s traditional values.

/ Ê/ Ghosts hurried to force a ten-metre scrum with their feed. A face-saving try was on offer, but a spilt ball saw fullback Ryan O’Connell run ninety metres and place the ball under the crossbar as the hooter sounded.

Sports Roundup with John Campbell Turn on, tune in, front up

Back into the swim for Pip at Byron A capped field of 700 competitors will take part in this year’s Byron Bay Triathlon on May 12, heading off from Main Beach at 1pm. The race will include a 1500m ocean swim, a 40 km cycle leg and a 10 km run. A pres-

old Lennox Head athlete Pip Taylor, who will commence her international schedule immediately following the race, hoping a good result in it will prove to be a springboard for her next engagement, the Escape From Alca-

into the sport of triathlon. It was an obvious path to follow for one so gifted in cross discipline activities. Having made the transition, Pip has not looked back. She was Australian Junior Elite Triathlete of the year, then Austral-

tigious event on the triathlete’s calendar, it attracts first timers as well as professionals of the highest level of achievement. Among the pros competing will be twenty-seven year

traz triathlon in San Francisco on June 3. A former school billycart champion, Pip came through the Little Athletics program where she proved to be a real natural, graduating from it

ian U23 Triathlete of the Year and in 2003 she stepped up to the Senior level to win the Manchester World Cup Triathlon, place 2nd at the New York World Cup Triathlon and be the anchor leg in the

Australian Team at the Triathlon Team World Championships, winning a World Title. Byron Bay is the last Olympic distance triathlon of the Australian season and entrants from the USA, Ireland, New Caledonia and Fiji are among the those who will be vying with Pip for the major cash prizes as well as for the spoils on offer for the first three place getters in each of the twelve age categories and team awards. ‘I’m really excited about the Byron Triathlon. To have a race that virtually runs past my house is fantastic. Unfortunately I missed last year’s event due to my international racing schedule but this time I don’t head overseas until after that weekend,’ Pip explained. It will also be a welcome return to competition for Pip, as she has had the last nine months off, including six months off training altogether. As it is for all professional sportspeople, the decision to take the break was difficult, but it was one that her body demanded of her. ‘I decided that I really needed to have some time away from it all. I was constantly fatigued, battling with myself and not able to perform anywhere near my own expectations. It’s the best

thing that I could have done. I’ve come back so much stronger and am much better able to cope with and recover well from increasingly demanding training loads.’ As important as the body’s preparedness is what goes on in the head, and Pip is convinced that she has benefited in this too. ‘I feel much stronger mentally and confident of achieving some of the very tough goals I have set for myself this season. I am really happy with how things are going and am keen to find out how I’m progressing. It will be the perfect start to the season for me.’ After that Pip will head off to the States for four months of gruelling competition. But she’s not complaining. ‘While triathlon is my job and I treat it seriously, it is also something that I love and feel extremely lucky to be doing. I think you have to love it – it’s such a huge commitment, day in and day out. It’s extremely satisfying and a good training session gives me a huge buzz. The other thing to remember when you are having a bad day is to look around you and enjoy your ‘office’ environment of beach, forest trails and country roads! That’s got to be hard to beat!’

Local sportspeople and their families now have certainty whether their training or games are on or off with the launch of a new nation-wide sporting service called Game On SMS. Players simply check their mobiles for received Game On SMS notices. Any relevant cancellation or change will be sent by their sporting associations hours before most competition or training. If they don’t receive a message, it’ll be Game On as usual. At 7.00am on a rainy Saturday morning, that will be welcome news to parents everywhere. The largest and smallest sporting associations in Australia have already signed up to use Game On SMS and it is now available for all sports in our region. Local associations receive Game On SMS sponsorships, use the service for free and have unprecedented capacity to contact the majority of their players and managers in seconds. Players wanting the convenience of customized sporting text messages for their training or competition should encourage their associations to contact Game On SMS through info@gameonsms.com.au

Cocktail mix cartons were the height of millinery fashion with this group of young people at the Nimbin MardiGrass on Sunday. It was a generally mellow event, though the police did make over 100 arrests by the end, albeit 62 of those cannabis cautions. The drug testing bus recorded no positive results, which means it’s working as a deterrent to drivers or it just doesn’t work properly, which has been the allegation of the Nimbin Hemp Embassy and various drug experts. Some woman got stopped at the police checkpoint with around 12kg of cannabis cake – how dumb would you have to be? Photo Lou Beaumont

■■■■You were hanging out to learn that May is Senior Pet Month. We learn from a promo from Hill’s that the oldest recorded dog in Australia was Bluey – a cattle dog, of course – which lived to be 29. The Hill’s pet food dudes have a free advice line on caring for old animals at 1800 679 932. ■■■■We hope they’ve got their act together by the time you read this, but when it was launched on Thursday the government’s online register for people who don’t want telemarketing calls looked like it was being operated on a dialup link of two coconuts connected by a string. Still it’s worth a wait to avoid those irritating calls in the middle of The Simpsons. Try www. donotcall.gov.au and be prepared to wait when you press the register button.
