Local filmmaker held by troops Hans Lovejoy Filmmaker Leilani Gaze, 21, of Byron Bay, became enbroiled in political and civil unrest in East Timor last week. On the same day after arriving in the country, Ms Gaze was with her host family at their home when she was arrested along with three other Timorese men by the Australian Army. Ms Gaze told The Echo from her mobile phone in East Timor she spent around five hours being interrogated before being released uncharged. ‘They arrested me and three innocent civilians and treated us like criminals,’ she said. ‘They barged into the front of the house, knocking

over children to get to us. We were all taken in a van, blindfolded and told not to talk. We were then isolated and our bags searched. ‘I was arrested because of possibly being linked to [fugitive rebel leader] Alfredo Reinado,’ Ms Gaze said. So why is Alfredo Reinado a wanted man? Major Reinado was jailed for leading a mutiny with nearly 600 soldiers and deserting East Timor’s armed forces in May, 2006. He escaped from prison in September that year along with 50 other inmates. He has alleged in his defection from the East Timorese Army that it had acted illegally in firing on

unarmed protesters. Another local filmmaker, Chris McIlrath, agrees. Having just returned from interviewing top level politicians and rebel leaders in East Timor, Mr McIlrath worked with Ms Gaze on Conflicting Conspiracies – a soon to be

Story & photo Lou Beaumont Byron held its first Underwater Festival (UF07) over the weekend. From Thursday through until Sunday the Bay was awash with events, exhibitions and presentations of the underwater variety.

Highlights included The Marine Visions Underwater Art Exhibition and the Photo Shootout Competition. The art exhibition, organised by Retrospect Galleries and held at Mary Ryan’s bookstore until the end of this

week, had over 100 exhibitors, mostly locals, who put in a ‘huge amount of effort’ according to Wendy Hochgrebe of Planula Divers Retreat, organisers of UF07. The Photo Shootout continued on page 2

released documentary. ‘Their requests for better conditions were ignored by the President,’ Mr McIlrath said. ‘Normally the soldiers would have weekend leave, but eventually they didn’t come back and set up a base camp called Ermera, and went to town protesting. They then became known as the Petitioners. After he witnessed other soldiers killing protesters, Alfredo and his men retreated and hid out in the hills. That’s when I met him in July.’ Mr McIlrath claims that the current government is undemocratically elected and some factions are rife with corruption. ‘We have video evidence of priests, members of parliament, and other officials stating that members within the ruling Fretilin party are corrupt. The Australian government and army is supporting an undemocratically elected government that is terrorising its people.’ Ms Gaze also echos those sentiments. ‘Yes, the Australian forces are acting out of ignorance,’ she said. As for the assertions by Mr McIlrath that oil companies benefit from a government in disarray, Ms Gaze is more sceptical. ‘I am personally not seeing the connection. On the ground it’s not as relevant. The Petitioners are protesting for equal rights, and against the discrimination they have endured. ‘Although having a destabilised country helps the corruption within the government, it’s not everyone within the government who is corrupt.’ Ms Gaze was in the country to make a second documentary. ‘This film is more of a personal approach – how they are living and coping on

The National Day of Action for Whales and Dolphins was celebrated at the Whale tipi on Main Beach, Saturday midday. A circle of people, including Mayor Jan Barham, marked a minute’s silence for imperilled whales worldwide and welcomed Yumbalehla, Byron Bay’s icon whale and the northbound humpbacks. Twenty other coastal communities were also welcoming their ‘adopted’ humpbacks in participation with the Humpback Whale Migration Icon project supported by Surfers for Cetaceans, IFAW and Oceania Project. NDA coordinator Howie Cooke would like to thank Baysail Yacht Charters for continued on page 2 donating two whale watch

trips that were won by Andrew and Karl, and Byron Bay Dive Centre for two snorkelling trips on Julian Rocks that went to Shenteh and Jasmin for their part in creating wonderful sand cetacean sculptures near the Whale tipi. In the final week of May the International Whaling Commission (IWC59) will meet in Anchorage, Alaska. Howie Cooke and Dean Jefferys from the www.flightofthehumpback.org project are seeking $6,000 in sponsorship to speak and act at the IWC.

downtown Byron Bay Byron Shire Councillor Peter Westheimer has slammed the decision of some of his fellow councillors, including the Mayor, to approve a 316 bed, backpackers hostel behind the old council building in Byron Bay on the corner of Lawson and Fletcher Streets. ‘I have tabled a rescission motion with the support of Crs Staples and Lazarus to have the decision overturned,’ he said in a press release last Monday. ‘I will be moving as I did at the Thursday May 10 meeting that Council defer for one month its decision on this development pending further negotiations between staff and the developer Byron Ventlink Pty Ltd. ‘This is regarding the near $1 million section 94 car parking contribution discount and further major concession of allowing a less than required amount of onsite landscaping and open space such that the density of accommodation is too high. Staff recommended this partly in exchange for the developer complying with the heritage status of the building. ‘The developer has been allowed way less than the Development Control Plan required open space provisions to create a development half of the accommodation of which is six bedroom dormitories. According to the staff report the recreational areas of Byron Shire are sufficient to provide for the guests needs so the developer was given even more overgenerous concessions. This is scandalous for a town struggling to meet its infrastructure needs.

‘Staff did not clearly articulate in their report that landscaping provisions of the proposal did not comply with Development Control Provisions. No bus bay was provided, either, in a town often close to traffic gridlock. What this means in effect is that the rest of the residents of Byron Shire will have to fund the costs and maintenance of the open spaces in Byron Bay so that the guests continue to have somewhere decent and maintained to go to. ‘Remember the often disgusting condition of the toilets of Byron Bay, the lack of general public amenities, lack of a good playground, decent public seating, lack of public art etc etc. Council could pay a very high price of one and a half to two million dollars for the development as compensation to the developer for complying with Council designating a heritage status of a building.This is an unfair and unnecessary tradeoff for the community and for other developers who have paid their fair share of contributions in the past. ‘I trust that if my rescission motion is successful, that the issues can be renegotiated to obtain a fairer outcome for the community. I support tourist accommodation in the middle of town but not at any cost. ‘I also support appropriate heritage preservation and working constructively with developers to achieve positive outcomes however at this point in time the concessions are too great. I urge the community to let councillors know that these capitulations and concessions are not acceptable.’

an emotional level. I hope to convey the culture, traditions and the positive aspects of life in East Timor. It’s being filmed in the local East Timorese dialect, Petum.’ For the time being Ms Gaze plans to stay in East Timor to complete the film. ‘I am staying here for now as I am still working on my film. On June 30 there will

be parliamentary elections. There’s a lot of tension, and though everybody is uncertain what will happen, there’s a lot of hope held for those elections.’ For more information about the documentary Conflicting Conspiracies call Chris McIlrath on 6684 5045.

Underwater fest makes a splash From front page

Competition was the culmination of numerous photographic dives over the weekend. There were winners in several categories, including John Natoli from the Gold Coast who won a trip for two to Vanuatu for his close up portrait of a green turtle from Julian Rocks. Local diver Linda Clark was the winner in the Neville Coleman ‘Most Interesting Critter’ Category for her photo of a rare fish for this area. Festival guest of honour, Neville Coleman, underwater naturalist and one of the world’s diving legends, was on hand over the weekend to participate in many events, including dives at Julian

Rocks, critter identification and to deliver marine wildlife presentations. Neville Coleman is the author of over fifty books and wellknown for his passion for the underwater world and the small and unusual creatures it contains. He is a philosophical and inspirational man in his 70s and a staunch believer in the benefits of challenge. Innumerable dives and turtle snorkel expeditions took place over the weekend and Shearwater Steiner students from Years 11 and 12 got the opportunity to trial some professional dive cameras. ‘They really got in there and had a go, they absolutely loved it,’ said Wendy.

The nippers received the $1,000 cheque last week from Mallams. $800 was raised via a shopper docket box at Mallams checkout where a percentage of the totals from the customer’s dockets was donated to BSLC nippers. The $200 balance was made up by Mallams. Michele Dennis, said, ‘All the support John Waterhouse has given to the Brunswick Surf Club over the years is so appreciated and the shopper docket drive at Mallams is such a great opportunity for the nippers. It is great to see the community get involved and in such a simple way to raise so much money for much needed training equipment for children who are interested in surf life saving and surf safety.’ Photo Lou Beaumont

Celebrating Education Week NSW Education Week is being celebrated by public schools across the state from May 14 to May 20. Mullumbimby High School has organised a number of events to join in with these celebrations and to showcase the talent and diversity of its students. Running for the duration of the week is a student driven photographic exhibition in the foyer of the Byron Shire Council chambers. Entitled ‘A Day in the Life of Mullumbimby High School’, the exhibit depicts all facets of learning and daily school life. The exhibition closes on Friday May 18. Thursday May 17 is ‘Back to School Day’: a program that invites a number of successful people from the community who are products of the public education system ‘back to school’. The guests will talk to students about Year 7 guitarist Dale Rickards with other students. Photo Maggie their pathways to success. Van Kempen Acton, Year 10

Billycart derby wants you Get ready to race. Next Sunday May 20 is the 12th annual Bangalow Billycart Derby. ‘But in order to make this the best day of the year, we need you,’ say organisers. Organisers of the Derby are seeking volunteers. Traffic controllers, scrutineers, rubbish collectors, hay balers, parking attendants and general runabouts. If you would like to be a volunteer, you can register at the Bangalow Post Office or email byronbaypublicity@bi gpond.com On Billycart Derby eve, Saturday May 19, join your fellow volunteers at the Bangalow Bowling & Sports Club at 6pm for a briefing, a drink and a catch-up.

Green groups oppose Yelgun plans Green groups BEC (Byron Environment Centre), BEACON (Byron Environmental and Conservation Organisation) and CONOS (Conservation of North Ocean Shores) have voiced their opposition to the North Byron Shire Parklands (NBSP) site at Yelgun ‘being rezoned for a proposed regional cultural and event site to accommodate for festivals such as Splendour in the Grass’. A spokesperson for BEACON, Dave Saunders said, ‘To propose the festival at this location is a farce! It is contrary to the 1996 Local Environment Study undertaken by Rob Doolan of Balanced Systems Planning on behalf of Byron Council. Ninety two per cent of the submissions received by Council raised the issue of the need to protect the Wildlife Corridor. ‘It is difficult to comprehend why Council would now try to undo this process, particularly in view of the fact that two separate Commissions of Inquiry into the rezoning, recommended environmental protection due to the area’s outstanding

natural and cultural values.’ ‘The promoters of the festival site could not have chosen a more difficult site,’ said Bob Oehlman, a spokesperson for CONOS. ‘Not only is it constrained by such things as the current zonings, widespread flooding, Threatened Species and Ecological Endangered Communities etc, but it has a long and documented history of NSW state government investment, intervention and protection. For Council to revisit the zoning which resulted from a Commission of Inquiry instigated by the NSW planning minister can only be seen as “backward planning� rather than “forward planning�.’ A spokesperson for NBSP said, ‘Cultural activity need not be at odds with the community or the environment. ‘Few would argue the need for a sustainable long term festival venue in the Byron area. The current venues will eventually be lost to the shire and it is plain to all that these venues are far from perfect even if they were available in the long term. ‘A long term venue would allow for better management of noise, traffic, waste and

other logistics. â€˜â€ŚOne of North Byron Shire Parkland’s primary goals is to substantially improve the environmental values of this site which has suffered a long and well documented history of environmental degradation. ‘Indeed, the long term health and viability of the Billinudgel / Mount Warning nature corridor will require substantial regeneration work. The site in its present condition is far from optimal with regards to both fauna and flora – this fact is clearly agreed by all parties – including the National Parks and Wildlife Service, The Council and most [if not all] the

environmental groups that have acted to protect this area over the years. ‘With this in mind that the site’s new owners have commissioned a detailed and ongoing assessment of the site’s ecology. It is our hope that this assessment process will provide the basis for a host of environmental initiatives to restore the ecological integrity of the site. ‘We have extended an invitation to BEC, BEACON, CONOS and other interested environmental and community groups to attend one of our site visits and/or our environmental forum on June 4.’ See more at www.northbyronshireparklands.com.au.

George helps school beat the heat

Students and teachers at Mullumbimby Public School will breathe a sigh of relief next summer, thanks to the generosity of local philanthropist and inventor George Lewin. George donated $10,920 to cover the costs of having four of the school’s roofs insulated with a heat barrier paint over the Easter holidays. The school approached George in 2006 to assist in reducing temperatures in the school’s eleven classrooms, which often reach 35-42C in the summer months. ‘Our school’s 300 children have been suffering in the summer heat – they can’t concentrate, they’re red, sweaty, tired and cranky – and by the afternoon they and their teachers often have to abandon classrooms looking for relief,’ said school principal Alex Benham. After meeting with George to outline the school’s requirements, a cost-benefit analysis on air-conditioning the entire school was carried out. ‘Due to a major power upgrade required on the street, air-conditioning at

$40,000 was deemed costprohibitive. As well the issue of on-going running costs needed to be considered,’ said Murielle Paviet-Fanolliet, Heat Reduction Project Coordinator. ‘George suggested we adopt an environmental approach to this project by considering a revolutionary paint known as Solacoat which provides an insulating coating to reduce temperatures.’ Solacoat is a waterborne acrylic emulsion based product with a special membrane additive which aids in rejecting the infrared rays from the sun. According to local repr e s e n t a t i ve , Graham Aldridge, ‘When applied to a roof, Solacoat will, on a typical summer’s day, give up to 94% rejection of solar radiation. Tests have shown that the surface temperature of galvanised iron is reduced by over 40C resulting in a drop of up to 20C within a building, creating comfortable working conditions. ‘ Says George Lewin, ‘I am delighted to be helping the local community and our

future generation by providing a cooler and more comfortable environment for the school. With the growing threat of greenhouse gases to our environment and the older nature of the school buildings, it made sense to choose a green solution. I hope this will be the first of many such projects undertaken in schools around the country, particularly as the paint is efficient, cost-effective and environmentally friendly.’ The school’s heat reduction project was a collaborative effort between Murielle Paviet-Fanolliet, Alex Benham, George Lewin, Graham Aldridge and Murwillumbah-based painter Tony Walsh. ‘The success of this project is based on the commitment and dedication of all those involved,’ explains Murielle. ‘We had a considerable amount of red tape to deal with in getting this project off the ground and George, Graham and Tony are to be commended for their patience and assistance.’

Dan’s casket, the Danocaster, was lovingly created by many of Dan’s mates.

Last Wednesday afternoon, amid friends and family, music and blessings, Shearwater and the wider community farewelled a dear friend, gifted musician and a beautiful son. Dan Morgan, only son of Sandra Morgan, died on Sunday May 6 in Southport Hospital as a result of injuries sustained in a car crash

in Lennox Head two weeks previously. Dan graced the lives of all who knew him for just shy of 20 years. In that time he touched many hearts and left a remarkable legacy. His warmth, sincerity, humour and passion for all things musical will stay with us always. Dan was a student at

Shearwater since Class 1 in 1995, and then went on to Southern Cross University where he was studying Contemporary Music. Over that time his obvious talent as a guitarist just grew and grew. He played lead guitar in several local bands and was destined for great things. Led by celebrant Ian Howden, the service at Shearwater, the Mullumbimby Steiner School was an expression of love, friendship, melody, song and grief. As Ian so eloquently reminded the gathered family and friends, ‘We are here to celebrate and to mourn.’ The

love that surged through the voices and instruments of the many mourners as they saluted their friend was palpable. Jim Kelly, Liz Lord, Leigh James, Shearwater students, Dan’s fellow band members and students at Southern Cross Uni were among the many musos who joined the celebration. At the end of the ceremonies, Dan was borne away in a guitar-shaped coffin, lovingly crafted by his former teachers and friends at Shearwater. Just one more expression of the feelings he inspired in all who knew him.

Group aims for ‘community empowerment’ On Thursday May 17, the United People’s movement in Byron Bay will present the world premiere of Collective Sovereignty – Our Time has come. ‘This film animation truly presents refreshing new material that has never been seen before,’ said the group in a press release. ‘It demonstrates how, through adaptation of the internet to politics, communities can orchestrate themselves and communicate with their elected officials, enabling individual and community empowerment that achieves true democracy. ‘The idea of true democracy, whereby governments

act as servants of the people and implement the people’s will, is not new. People have been discussing this possibility and working for decades to find a way of making it a reality. ‘But, in a world where politicians increasingly implement their own agenda while stating that they know what is best for the people, the problem has been that communities have had no platform to assemble and create a unified will. ‘Now a solution has been developed. In Byron Bay, an international team under the banner of the United People’s movement, is launching the world’s most advanced

Internet-based democratic decision-making technology at www.UPworldgov.org. This will empower all people to participate in policy making and will profoundly improve the way we relate to each other and our natural environment. ‘The producers of Collective Sovereignty – Our Time has come invite the community of Byron Bay to attend the world premiere before the film is released worldwide. As people in the Byron Bay area are hearing about this concept, even before the first showing of this film, they’re making statements such as Dan Vantari has made, “I think

The clash of the conservatives Vol 21 #48

May 15, 2007

Whose surplus anyway? It makes good sense, in both a household’s and a nation’s budget, to squirrel away a surplus of funds in case bad times hit. Our federal government has produced a large surplus and is using it as a war chest to fund goodies in the lead-up to the next election. It has worked at previous elections – one assumes the voters are not just selecting the Liberals for their good looks – and no doubt Labor would use pork barrelling too if it were in power. What should be remembered, however, is that the government is not doing us any favours with the latest largesse. It was our money in the first place, collected through various taxes and levies. Theoretically in a democracy a government is made to serve the people, not lord it over them and hand out gifts when it sees fit. A large surplus can indicate good economic management but it is also a sign that money has not been spent where it is needed most, in this case in education, childcare and health, particularly Aboriginal health. Now the government is playing catch-up for its own election purposes. Taxpayers are entitled to take what funds they get from government in whatever area as their moral right. Taxpayers are under no obligation to vote in any particular way as a consequence.

By George Congratulations are due again to local philanthropist George Lewin, this time for using his money to make school children at Mullumbimby Public more comfortable. He donated over $10,000 to have the school’s roofs insulated with Solacoat, making life more bearable for pupils and teachers alike, and as well creating an environmentally sound alternative to expensive air conditioning. Byron Shire is fortunate to have a number of well-off individuals who are prepared to fork out for the public good. Christopher and Lynda Dean of Thursday Plantation fame spring to mind, as do John Cornell, Tony Narracott, Margaret Robertson and the individuals and businesses who support the work of the Northern Rivers Community Foundation – see www.nrcf.org.au. We are also blessed with a number of small to medium size local businesses who time and time again give money or goods to worthy community groups. There are of course many more rich people in the Shire who could make a contribution and we hope kindnesses such as George’s are an inspiration to others. It could be anything from $10,000 to half a million, and worthy causes are easy to find. The warm, fuzzy feeling is well worth the dent in the wallet. In a hard-nosed free enterprise economy, philanthropy is a beacon of light. Long may it shine in Byron Shire.

T

he label ‘conservative’ carries a whole raft of connotations, few of them terribly appealing. A conservative may well be prudent, cautious, sober, calm and self-possessed; but the same conservative is almost certain to be slow, unadventurous, suspicious, untrusting, old fashioned, fuddy-duddy, locked in the past, the sort of person who wears grey cardigans and socks with sandals and whose proudest achievement is mastering an old family recipe for plum jam. Not, one would have thought, the ideal image for a 21st century politician; yet both our political leaders revel in it, albeit in their different ways. And both, in their different ways, are lying. In his first incarnation as Liberal leader, back in the 1980s, John Howard boasted that he was the most conservative leader his party had ever had, and that the times would suit him. They didn’t; he had to wait another ten years before being voted into office, not because his drabness had suddenly become irresistibly attractive, but simply because he was not Paul Keating. More recently he has moderated his description of himself: he is now merely a social conservative, vigorously resisting any kind of change that would offend such bodies as the college of cardinals. In economic terms he describes himself as a liberal, a classic free marketeer, and certainly there is nothing conservative about his approach to industrial relations: rabid reactionary, perhaps, but certainly not conservative. Indeed, his approach to

political institutions across the board has been more that of a wild-eyed nihilist than of the self-appointed heir of Sir Robert Menzies. He has destroyed the independence of the public service and even of the intelligence services, trashed ministerial standards, subverted public funds for political advertising, trashed the Westminster system of accountability and ridden rough-shod over the states and territories in order to fulfil his personal ideological agenda. The changes have been

ment, where maintaining a surplus at any cost and in all circumstances has now become economic holy writ. Howard berates Rudd for not having supported him on what he calls tax and workplace reform, but neither the GST nor WorkChoices could be described by any but the deluded as conservative reforms: they were very much radical changes. Rudd, by working to regain the status quo in industrial relations at least, is actually taking the conservative line. But Rudd would hate to be

Howard’s approach to political institutions has been more that of a wild-eyed nihilist than of the self-appointed heir of Sir Robert Menzies. by Mungo MacCallum nothing short of revolutionary; genuine conservatives like Malcolm Fraser have been appalled. Ironically Fraser is now seen as a lefty, so far has Howard moved to the radical right. Yet Howard still claims the title of conservative, not because he is one but because he thinks it will win him votes. So, from a different perspective, does Kevin Rudd. In social terms he is not as far to the right as Howard (but then, who is?) but he is still opposed to such minor reforms as gay marriage. On the other hand he describes himself as a fiscal conservative – a badge, he says, he wears with pride.This appears to mean that he would keep the budget in balance over an economic cycle – certainly a conservative position, though fortunately not as proscriptive as that of the govern-

described as an across-theboard conservative: anything but. In education at least he assumes the guise of a revolutionary, although his proposals actually involve building on the existing system rather than tearing it down and replacing it with another. And he pushes the fact that his approach to climate change is more comprehensive than that of Howard (again, not exactly a mammoth task) while continuing to insist that it is within the bounds of practicality. It is an interesting balancing act: Rudd is uncomfortable at being portrayed as any sort of visionary – too airyfairy and too far in front of the pack, shades of Paul Keating or even Gough Whitlam. But on the other hand he cannot be branded as a mere Tory. He has to maintain the con-

trast with Howard: youth against age, the future against the past, the modern against the outdated. The middle ground, as he sees it, is a sort of reformist conservative, or perhaps a restrained liberal. The ideas need to be biggish, but not so big that they frighten the taxpayer. We need to be forward looking, but grounded in a secure and comforting present. It’s a version of politics uniquely suited to the television age: Rudd offers us a bit of vicarious adventure, the chance to see Australia flex its disused muscles and turn a new and confident face to the world, but you can do it without leaving the safety of your own living room. It is the positive side of Howard’s successful electoral currency. Howard produces imaginary threats and terrors to scare voters, and then presents himself as the only one who can keep them safe from the hobgoblins he has conjured up. Rudd is trying to tell voters that he can lead them forward at no risk to themselves, their families or their mortgages. He will look after all the problems for them, and really, the problems should be seen as opportunities: the only way to go is up. It has an appeal, certainly – in a conservative sort of way. In his Devil’s Dictionary the American Ambrose Bierce supplies the following definition of Conservative: ‘A statesman enamoured of existing evils, as distinguished from the liberal who seeks to replace them with others.’ Another equally cynical American identified a third kind, the modern progressive: ‘That’s a fellow who stumbles forward every time someone shoves him.’ Come in, Kevin Rudd.

National scandal The Treasurer has distributed our $236 billion. Budget headlines declare praise and prosperity. Local newspapers carry lavish four-page inserts (paid for by us) declaring how great our government is. But there’s a hidden, untold budget scandal – an Aboriginal child born today is statistically likely to be outlived by a newborn in rural Bangladesh. The new Budget addressed this shameful inequality by a mere $30 million annually, a trifling ten bucks of healthcare for every Indigenous Australian. At this rate we’ll stay forever a country below Third World standards as regards indigenous health. On May 27 it will be 40 years since 1967 when Australians passed an historic referendum affirming the basic rights of Indigenous Australians. But curable diseases like leprosy, TB and blinding trachoma still afflict our indigenous people. Politicians from Right and Left must explain why no gov-

ernment in 40 years has addressed this scandal. And Howard’s government must explain now why they are still not doing it. Aren’t we today more fabulously prosperous (according to them) than we have ever been before? The Australian Medical Association has an actionable health plan ready. There are absolutely ample resources at our nation’s disposal. Both ALP and Coalition must rise above election squabbling to close the gap through bipartisan action. The Greens understand this – why can’t anyone else? Let’s hear from our sitting (and our aspiring) federal parliamentarians – what are they going to do about it? Real Australians can show their concern by petitioning at www.getup.org.au/campaign/ CloseTheGap. Lee Andresen

Vandals at work On my way home from town I gave a lift to a young girl who was on her way to collect her newly purchased first car. During the course of our conversation I happened to ask her if the new car was a blue Commodore... to which she answered a surprised yes. The car had been parked outside a house with a for sale sign on it for several days. I then had the unpleasant task

to give her the sad news that her new vehicle had been vandalized – front windscreen, rear windscreen and driver’s side windows. Smashed. When we arrived at the place where the vehicle had been left it was not there at all, probably towed away due to its now ruined state. The young girl was visibly and understandably very upset. This has happened many times over the last few years on Huonbrook Road. Does this mean that any car left overnight will receive the same treatment? Who are the vandals? John Fitton

Living lightly Like Simon Hosking (Letters, May 1) I too am disturbed by recent views on limiting population because it assumes the way we currently view the world and use its resources is OK, so any problems must be because there are too many of us. Most people have lived on this planet without electricity and cars and have managed very well. In fact Helena Norberg-Hodge in her book Ancient Futures paints a picture of the Ladhaki people in the 1970s living sustainable lives with no more complex technology than the loom and the wooden plough in an area where weather is not ideal – it continued overleaf

snows for 7-8 months a year – and yet living far happier lives than our own. The idea that we have to suck off unrenewable resources in order to be happy is a myth – a mythconception limp-wristedly accepted by most Western people because of the apparent immediate comfort that we live in, and the erroneous and dangerous assumption that it goes on forever. Also, Mary Gardiner’s insightful article on grey bats was appreciated. I would suggest that houses within stink range of bat colonies are actually for the human gardeners who love to collect their manure. Move the humans or the manure around, not the bats! Geoff Dawe

Splendour doubts Australians for Animals has received an email from one Kate Little, North Byron Shire Parklands, aka Splendour in the Grass developers, inviting me to a site tour. According to the email, the tour will take one hour. A further invitation to an

environmental forum at council chambers on June 4 is included. For starters, a one hour tour of the festival site will not answer any serious questions about the impact of the many festivals planned at Yelgun by Splendour. A one hour tour will not protect the wildlife corridor, prevent the acoustic trauma to wildlife, ameliorate the impact of the festivals on the Billinudgel Nature Reserve or result in the protection of koala habitat and other wildife species. AFA is also curious to learn whether Council’s agreement to allow the environmental forum to take place in its chambers is an indication of support for Splendour In the Grass plans. One would expect that our so-called green Council would be taking all steps to ensure its objectivity and lack of bias in this matter. So who gave permission to Splendour to hold the meeting there ? Local environmental groups and others invited to particpate in these events should be aware that neither a one hour tour nor an in-house ‘environmental forum’ can possibly deal with the raft of

them water, what would they do with it? This tribe of car salesmen, real estate sharks and Peter Fosters in their gated, insecurityguarded, faux-Italianate palazzos and once-werewetlands marinas. Carry on hosing the dust from their 4WDs and the dying leaves from their acres of mockTuscan paving? With a ‘Thanks, suckers’, perhaps? Let them drink Perrier. Or dust. Or Coke. Scientists have warned of impending resource wars for nearly 20 years.We know peak oil is here or close. But Australia has probably already passed peak water. We have been robbing the environment of water for generations, getting away with it through an unusual wet period from the 1950s to the late 90s. Now as we enter The Long Dry, the debt is being called in – though it might deluge tomorrow. Ecosystems develop around and depend on the available water in the landscape. The water that flows down northern rivers is not wasted. Pumping water from northern NSW to subsidise the profligate overdevelopment of LA-SEQ will simply compromise the water security of communities here and further degrade this environment, while encouraging the SEQ business-as-usual boys to push for another 20 years of business-as-usual. The solution for SEQ is no more development, collect rain from every roof, harvest stormwater and replace flushing toilets with dry composting toilets. And what guarantee has this region of continuing high rainfall? But there’s a sinister agenda lurking behind Turnbull’s proposal. The SEQ ‘crisis’ creates the pretext for a sell-off of water and water infrastructure to private, probably foreign corporations. The cross-juris-

dictional issues raised in his proposal provide just the excuse to invoke federal powers to resolve the matter through a ‘private-public partnership’ on a ‘build, own, operate’ basis: a ‘market solution’ to a community problem. Enter Bechtel, Halliburton or the like, as happened in Bolivia in the 1990s.While we sleep both the water and the infrastructure will be taken from the community and handed to The Corporation – ‘Step right up, you thirsty masses! Have we got some water for you!’ Oh yes, there’ll be mateship in the deal, all right. But thirsty Queenslanders will not be the mates whose thirst is quenched. Adrian Gattenhof

Cycling woes Unfortunately the current Br unswick Road in Mullumbimby road re-construction does not include a bikeway (Nev Arthur, Letters, May 8). It does include new 2m wide shoulders on both sides, of which 1.5m will be paved. These shoulders only extend as far the Kings Creek bridge, with the remainder of the road to Gulgan Rd (Uncle Tom’s) being left as is. The Byron Shire Bicycle Users Group (BSBUG) has been campaigning for shoulders to be added to several dangerous major roads in the Shire such as Gulgan Rd, Ewingsdale Rd, Brunswick Rd, Bangalow Rd and Broken Head Rd, as they would provide far more safety for both vehicles and the more experienced bike riders who frequently use them. For younger and less experienced riders separated bikeways are desperately required throughout the Shire. After many years of almost total

Byron Shire Echo May 15, 2007 11

www.echo.net.au

Letters neglect, Shire construction of bikeways has increased to an average of 3km per annum for the past three fiscal years, however estimates by the Shire Bikeways Committee and BSBUG show that about 90km more are required to provide an effective bikeway network connecting the major community centres and schools within the Shire. Clearly, unless spending is significantly increased, it will take over 30 years to achieve this. So far there appears to be little tangible support by Councillors to allocate a greater percentage of the Council Roads budget to bikeways – it is currently at 6% and is apparently headed for a big fall. There is also no published plan or commitment to provide other road shoulders. Yet another expensive lot of consultants have just produced a highly flawed and unworkable bike-

way plan for the Shire. Bikeway work to date has been carried out by Byron Council staff. Based on surrounding Shires it is estimated that the cost could be reduced by over 20% (or get more bikeways for our money) by putting the works out to competitive tender. Compare all this to Sydney Mayor Clover Moore recently announcing that they plan to increase bike ridership six fold within ten years, or Wangaratta in Victoria (with less population than Byron Shire) building almost 100km of bikeways in the past 14 years, and achieving their aim that all schools are linked to their communities by bikeways. We are doing far less for biking than our neighbours in Tweed, despite popular demand here. Our Councillors have a significant opportunity to make a local impact and statement on greenhouse gas reduction, child-

hood obesity reduction, general health targets and youth activity, as well as attracting the right kind of tourists. A paradigm shift vision and committment to big goals and accelerated implementations are required, not empty slogans and less of the same. Bernard Grinberg

Police presence I was glad to read on the front page of The Echo that at the last Nimbin MardiGrass police were regarding the crowd as generally well behaved. Unfortunately this member of the crowd cannot repay the compliment, because I found that the policemen present at the

festival were generally behaving badly. On Saturday evening I was trying, unsuccessfully, to film the police horses dropping manure in the street near the food stalls, so I went to film the colourful and beautiful people near the Rainbow CafĂŠ. There I was stopped by four policemen and asked to show them the footage of my video camera. I asked if they had the right to do this, but as an answer they searched my backpack, wrote down my home address, forced me to give them the video camera and they were generally intimidating: ‘For your safety, it is better that you sit down.’ This harassment went on for more then twenty minutes, while they watched the content of the tape, almost emptying the battery of the video camera. Finally they let me go without an apology, and I was comforted by shopkeepers

nearby, who saw all and took pictures of the incident. I would like to encourage anybody who will attend the next MardiGrass to bring their cameras, videos, and picture phones, and to bear witness to the actions of the ones who are there to protect and serve, and not to intimidate and harass. If you’ll send all the footage to photos@nimbintelevision. com you can also win a prize. Sergio Scudery

We’ve moved on Mungo MacCallum’s blithering commentary on Australia’s industrial relations landscape (Echo, May 8) provides another clear demonstration of his usual recalcitrance and unwillingness to accept that our economy and the bulk of its workforce has moved into the 21st century, comfortably or otherwise.

Australia’s new industrial relations regime, at its core, is simply a reflection of the economic reality which leading edge employers and their employees have been compelled to realise and that is that rewards for both can only ever be related to measurable outputs or, dare I say it, growth, healthy balance sheets and sustainable profits and not meaningless and often contrived inputs such as overtime, shift penalties and other hours on the job. For them, such antiquated ideas have been relegated to the industrial relations history books. It is the case that your columnist’s plea to dismantle the new regime is to cater to just 15 per cent of the unionised workforce and those over 45 years of age, who are now in the minority. He has not informed your readers that today’s rapidly growing, educontinued on page 17 Dog debate overleaf

■Ms Baker should consider the negative ‘psychological impact’ incurred by people who are one moment enjoying the unparalleled splendour of our beaches and the next are stepping in dog poo. The dog walkers should feel privileged that they have a dedicated area on the beach to walk their dogs. Many people would like to see them banned altogether. They are pushing their luck to expect free rein on our beaches.

■With all the depressing news stories spread across our entire media, I want to thank our local Echo for printing the entire page 19 (May 8) dedicated to making us laugh. And how I laughed, till my sides ached and the tears would flow no more. What a fantastically funny story about an ex-NPWS Ranger of 13 years being the first dog walker to be fined for breaking the law, walking her dogs in a clearly marked and signed area designated as a no-dog area. But the comedy did not stop there. Even funnier still was the plea for community support to help pay her fines. Great story, guys. Maybe we could all share a further chuckle by sitting outside the Brunswick Heads surf club next Sunday to share poor Gina’s woes and don’t forget: ‘Dogs welcome.’ Of course all responsible owners know that their loveable canines should be on a leash and wear an ID tag. Thanks for the laugh. Keep it up!

release and the newspapers – in the streets during the drug law reform rally. If reporters had bothered to seek alternative accounts, their stories may not have conveyed the impression that MardiGrass was a massive police-fest. Nimbin Hemp Embassy spokesman Michael Balderstone said it was true the NSW police media releases were all the press had to go on because the organisers were still having too much fun to put out any news. ‘Anyway, journalists had been ignoring MardiGrass mostly and we didn’t anticipate the police putting so much negative spin on such a successful weekend,’ he said. ‘One assault, ten thousand people, no wonder many police prefer the mellowing affect of cannabis at festivals.’ Mr Balderstone said some real stories were starting to emerge. ‘The injuries sustained by police which sounded on the television news like they were sustained in battle came from them recklessly chasing someone through a

crowd, knocking over and injuring a bystander, and eventually hurting themselves by running headlong into a car. You can imagine how they sought revenge on the person they were chasing who had surrendered with his hands up. The big crowd watching, including many children, was less than impressed,’ he said.

There are also complaints about the police horses knocking people around, and even over, as they chased suspects through market crowds. The horses’ manure was splattered in front of Sibley Street food stalls, bringing dozens of complaints from upset diners. ‘Supt Lyons stated that he was encouraged by the new roadside saliva testing,’ Mr Balderstone said. ‘Hundreds of festival goers were tested on their way to the MardiGrass and on their way home, yet not one positive saliva test was recorded! How could anyone be encouraged at such a gross waste of taxpayers’ money? Each of the drug wipe tests costs $40.’ Police said that Operation Maloo ‘made a substantial impact on supply’ when it captured 15 kilos of pot (which was actually mostly flour, water and dried fruit in a 12kg cake), plus other ‘cookies and muffins’. ‘All very misleading, like the sixty cannabis cautions being included as arrests,’ Mr Balderstone said. ‘At one

point police were writing cautions one after another like raffle tickets as tourists willingly surrendered their tiny stashes. They could have written thousands.’ Mr Balderstone said there was no evidence from cannabis users that the presence of the police or the Winnebago drug bus was going to make anyone stop smoking pot. ‘And, ten thousand at MardiGrass being so peaceful is surely the best possible example of how cannabis does not create psychosis or pose the health risk John Howard, Pyne and Abbott

keep trying to say it does,’ he said. ‘While they have been blaming cannabis for mental health problems, they should have been watching the ice age coming. Still their own revenue-raising drugs, alcohol and tobacco, remain the most damaging physically, mentally and socially.’ Oddly, one of the paragraphs in the police media release that didn’t make it on to the pages of the big press was the one in which Supt Lyons congratulated the MardiGrass organisers for making the festival such a success.

The day after a laidback Sunday at Nimbin’s 15th annual Mardi Grass I was astonished by the metropolitan newspapers’ treatment of the event. ‘More than 100 arrested at Mardi Grass,’ shrilled The Sydney Morning Herald, the Brisbane Times and numerous others. Story after story comprised large chunks of the police media release sent out on the Monday after the event. Most of them – The Age, The Sydney Morning Herald, the Brisbane Times and many others – repeated the police media hack’s error that it was ‘Nimbin’s 34th MardiGrass’. In fact it was the 15th. It is, however, the 34th anniversary of the Aquarius Festival which kicked off the transformation of Nimbin from a fading village to a vibrant hippy community. Nimbin promotes peace, love and the decriminalisation of cannabis and has inevitably become a thorn in the side of the NSW police. I have heard a senior police officer say that if he could clean up Nimbin, he would be the next police commissioner. It’s possible that ambition underlies the zealous overpolicing of the last two MardiGrass events, despite its long history of being a peaceful weekend with no crowd control issues. Mounted police, the dog squad and officers aping the paramilitary look intimidated many festival goers and barricaded the approaches to the town. This year they had a salivatesting unit set up at Goolmangar, 15 kilometres out of Nimbin, and here the vast majority of arrests were made and cautions issued – not, as you would imagine from reading the police media

Our fabulous fashionista reveals all A Big Life by Jenny Kee (with Samantha Trenoweth) Penguin Reviewed by Moya SayerJones

As a high school student I used to catch the train into Sydney after school and head straight for Jenny Kee’s shop, Flamingo Park in the Strand Arcade. I was a very straight suburban girl (who desperately wanted to be crooked!) and Jenny, with her cat eye spectacles, booming voice and bohemian attitude, seemed to me to be just the grooviest gal in town. I remember nicking money from my Dad’s bedside table to lay-by one of her koala knit cardies. (And probably nicked even more to pay it off!) Flamingo Park was edgy and arty. It fluttered with models and actors, people who radiated confidence. And for some reason everyone (except Kee) always seemed to have really long legs! More than three decades on and Kee is still a household name. She’s best known for her eccentricity – as a fashionista, an artist, an activist, a celebrity and of course, as an extremely gifted groupie. Kee bedded four of the 1960s hottest rock offerings: John Lennon, Eric Clapton, Keith Richards and Roger Daltry, before leaving groupiedom behind. (A tragic waste of talent!). She was, by then, all of 21. Jenny Kee writes about all of these public personas in A Big Life but one of the best things about this memoir is how much we learn about the other Jenny: mother, wife, daughter, lover, Buddhist and best girlfriend. At 410 pages there are more than enough stories and wondrous photographs to provide a compelling picture of this complex woman: fabulous

and flawed, brilliant and beleaguered. The first chapter about her family, her Chinese father and Australian mother is a revealing start. The portrait of Kee’s Dad, an inscrutable Chinese businessman, is fantastic. We get a timely reminder of Australian racism during the years of our White Australia policy and the stage is set to begin to understand the wild child who is about to emerge. ‘I discovered that boys liked me‌ It was a revelation. For the first time in my life I began to feel comfortable about my Chinese appearance‌ Boys, I learnt, found “exoticâ€? g irls “sexyâ€?‌’ As we follow Kee through the next forty five years: her years in swinging London, early affairs, innumerable friends from the hip list (including Richard Neville, Vogue’s Anna Piaggi, shoe meister Manolo Blahnik), her marriage to artist Michael Ramsden, her magical business/creative partnership with Linda Jackson, her survival of the Granville train crash with daughter Grace, her international successes

(remember a pregnant Princess Di in one of her koala jumpers?), her work on the Sydney Olympics, her 11 year relationship with Danton Hughes, son of Robert Hughes, who was 21 years younger than she was; Danton’s struggle with depression and his suicide; her discovery of Buddhism, the death of her mother‌ as Kee writes about all these things, it’s not hard to work out where they got the idea for the title of this book. A Big Life it is. Sprinkled throughout are Kee’s amazing, detailed descriptions of what she was wearing for almost everything! Starting from when she was a child‌ ‘red and white checked Liberty lawns with hand-smocking’‌ ...to her Fourth Form Formal.. ‘white organza with huge mauve-pink cabbage roses... tight bodice, bell shaped skirt‌ scooped neckline‌ matching-fabric stiletto sling-backs’.. ...to a dinner in Milan.. ‘I wore my Flamingo Park Collage coat, shocking-pink Thai-silk harem pants, turban and favourite Sex stilet-

tos. I cinched the coat in super-tight at the waist with a pink Thai silk cumberbund. Linda wore.‌ And while it took a little while for me to settle into the rhythm of her storytelling and what seemed to be too much detail about people I didn’t know (or even people I did), I soon let myself dive into this retelling as though Jenny Kee was a girlfriend and this was Friday night. Because one of the things I most enjoyed about this book is Kee’s willingness to talk too much. Just like a girlfriend who invites you into her mistakes and obsessions, her poor judgment, her unwise infatuations and her triumphs, her brilliant drive and energy. The charm of this book is that despite the famous names that litter the pages and Kee’s obvious pride in her celebrity relationships, it’s still a very inclusive book. The girl, the real girl, is somehow, miraculously preserved. This book offers an intriguing peek into a big life of a woman who has been brave enough to reveal the small and vulnerable as well.

What to do after saying ‘sorry’ Mary Gardner Norm Graham tells me he is one of Byron’s local kids who grew up and went away because education and opportunities were elsewhere. He trained at university and then worked in Melbourne at the state museum. Of course, he stayed in touch with the family back home. All his life, history was happening. In the same sort of way that the Berlin Wall came down, other walls in Australian society collapsed. Since the Referendum of 1967, celebrated on the 26th of May each year, there’s a new dignity for not only indigenous but every people here. Slowly, Australian society and government changed even more. Another moment in law was the passage of the Native Title Act. This made it possible in 2001 for the creation of the Arakwal National Park. A total of 185 hectares were safeguarded. Now, not only was Norm able to come back home and find work with the National Park & Wildlife Service, he was also able to return to ‘take care of country’. See, Norm is of Aboriginal descent. His family includes the elders who struggled for many years for the recognition and protec-

tion of this southern facing coast of Byron. Their old family stories centre on several campsites behind the sand dunes. These were the home bases for a living which included fishing as well as harvesting of coastal seafood and bush tucker. In 1936, they were displaced from one home site during the sand mining of Tallow Beach. ‘When I take people on the track from the ridge to the beach, there is a place where I always stop,’ Norm is pointing at the map of the parkland. ‘Here you can clearly see the native coastal heath land behind you. Then in front, there is this very different vegetation where the sand dunes used to be.’ I nod. I know the place on the track too. When I first walked it, I sensed the changes. The types of plants changed as well as the complexity of their community. Being recently from New Zealand, the names of the plants are a mystery to me. Being a biologist, the names of their roles and the processes that bring them together are plain.

Catastrophe. Disturbance. Whatever were the fore dunes, millions in years in the making, they cannot be the same again. From the grinding and gathering of grains of sand to the growth of salt kissed leaves that evolved from that same foundation. This area will be something else. Maybe new dunes. Maybe not. Revegetation. That horsetail she-oak, typical of sheltered bays, now on this open coast. Was it planted here in as a token towards rehabilitation? The bitou bush. A weed perhaps, but like any scab on a wound, it has an important function. Regeneration. Nor m knows the words too. The healing which steers a course into something new. ‘Since the park was established, you can see a change with birds and possibly bats spreading seeds that are now taking hold,’ says Norm. The plants of the rainforest, what’s around the Cape, are starting to grow in new patches elsewhere. Of course, this process is in addition to other things the park does.

Weed control. The planting of natives.� Restoration. One thing people can do is help support whatever natural processes are already under way. Helping seedlings, birds and bats is a subtle and patient approach that anyone can do, starting from their own yard. The birds from the park are also in backyards throughout town, eating fruits from exotic plants. They spread these seeds into the Park. ‘What I hope people appreciate is that everything is connected,’ says Norm. ‘What they plant in their small gardens, how this helps the local wildlife survive – it all matters a lot. Every native garden helps make for a weed-free coastal park.’ I mention that in New Zealand, gardeners who keep certain exotic plants that can spread make a point of removing fruits or seed heads before birds or wind can scatter them. ‘That’s an idea,’ says Norm. We look at the maps one more time. ‘It’s all going to take a long time, but I think it’s worth it.’ ■Mary Gardner is a writer, biologist and tutor. See her website at www.mgradner. info.

cated and informed workforce has an entirely different attitude to employment, reward mechanisms, organisational cultures and manager/ employee relationships than those prevailing in the now ageing and retiring workforce. Our new-age industries, in genuine partnership with an equally new-age workforce will continue to deliver the economic benefits that we have come to expect long after the so-called resources boom has passed. The proper role of the impoverished union movement, its political hacks and the likes of Mungo MacCallum is to reshape the thinking of those who are being left behind and others they are alleged to represent. Who knows... they just might reverse their declining membership and lift their prosperity at the same time.

excuse to excise his hardearned from him before he causes further harm to himself more directly. But I’ve looked around and I’ve decided that I’m already doing more than my share to cut down on greenhouse gas emissions. A United Nations report has identified the world’s rapidly growing herds of cattle as the greatest threat to the climate, forests, and wildlife. And they are blamed for a host of other environmental crimes, from acid rain to the introduction of alien species, from producing deserts to creating dead zones in the

oceans, from poisoning drinking water to destroying coral reefs. Though sheep, chickens, pigs and goats were also studied, by far the world’s 1.5 billion cattle are most to blame. Livestock are responsible for 18% of the greenhouse gases that cause global warming, more than cars, planes, and all other forms of transport put together. See http://www.rense.com/general76/cow.htm for more. The water crisis now affecting us could be easily reversed by adopting a more vegan lifestyle (let alone the health benefits). Raising livestock

requires five to ten times more water than it does to produce a similar amount of food which is actually good for us. One litre of milk requires as much as 990 litres of water to produce. But aside from the methane, which warms the world 20 times faster than carbon dioxide, at least 9% of the carbon dioxide released each year comes from the clearing of vegetation for grazing, and from the fertiliser produced to grow feed, produce meat, and transport it. Clearly, having a cow is causing the planet to, well, have a cow, man.

Surely, any human concerned about the environment, even just a tiny bit, must be a hypocrite if they still insist it’s okay to dispose of cow corpses with their digestive systems, or think that dairy products are good for themselves or the Earth. The fats from animal products cause heart disease, the proteins cause cancer. These

are known and documented facts. The production of these, these... killertastytreats, is destroying the planet faster than oil. And we don’t even have to go to war for that. See http://www.peta2.com/ p2vsk2_flash/index.html for more of what they never told you about animals. Thanks. Ross Thatcher

Bad drivers My last letter concerning some drivers in Mullum not stopping at the zebra crossing when people are on them just hasn’t sunk in, I suppose, has it? I ask when will it sink into drivers, when it’s too late and they hit someone on the crossings? I not only have the bad karma for that but have to face the law and a court case and prosecution. Come on, you drivers, look for people crossing the zebra’s and bloody stop before it’s too late for us and you. I’m sick of yelling at idiot drivers who don’t stop and I’m sick of writing letters like this. Be aware, drivers. Paul Brecht

Killer meat All this talk about Global War ming can only be heading in one direction: Nuclear Reactors. Why else would our ‘never ever be a GST’ leader, Honest John, suddenly do his impressive little turn-about and finally give the issue the recognition it has long been deserving? Surely not to justify more uranium mining and the nuclear power stations no-one wants in their backyard? In an already highly overtaxed nation, it also seems rather convenient that yet another tax, the carbon tax, is soon to be foisted upon us all, one way or another. All these high-publicity stunts like the Queen visiting the US ‘carbon neutrally’ or rock concerts already getting volunteers to start paying carbon rates, let alone so-called ‘green energy’, a poor working fellow could be forgiven for beginning to think that all this greenhouse talk is simply yet another

Television Guide 1. Johnny Depp delivers a brilliant comic performance in the big special effects blockbuster Curse of the Black Pearl (Prime, Saturday, 8.30pm). 2. Nine hasn’t done it any scheduling favours, burying it away on Saturday at 7.30pm, but Primeval is worth a look if you like, say, the new Doctor Who. 3. The amusing relationship between the characters played by William Shatner and James Spader is the heart of Boston Legal (Monday, Prime, 10.30pm). For the rest, critics of the godless left-wing ABC are proved right by Compass (Sunday, 9.30pm) and Andrew Denton (Monday, 9.30pm). SBS jumps in with John Safran vs God (Sunday, 11.15pm) and Chasing God (small hours of Wednesday morning).

Articles Sue Arnold anticipates the machinations at the upcoming IWC Plenary

Into the heart of whaling darkness Monday, May 28th will see the opening of the International Whaling Commission (IWC) Plenary in downtown extremely chilly Anchorage, Alaska. The atmosphere surrounding this meeting is likely to be even more frigid than the Arctic climate as the anti whaling and pro whaling nations line up for their annual stoush which has almost nothing to do with whales and everything to do with trade and oil. Some activists describe IWC meetings as ‘the heart of darkness’ and they’re not far wrong. Like some street theatre from hell, the actors play out their roles against a background of ever increasing threats to the survival of whales, coloured red with the blood of thousands and thousands of illegally harpooned whales. Some players stand mute, observing the annual game; some are silenced by their governments or their financial goals and security. A tangible stench of intrigue hangs over the hallways during breaks as deals are done and activists frantically lobby government delegates. NGOs are not allowed to speak at the meetings. We can only observe, even though conservation groups these days pay almost $200,000 to the IWC Secretariat for the privilege of attending meetings as silent

observers constantly under threat of expulsion. At the beginning of every meeting, activists from all over the world gather at an informal NGO meeting where some of the major policy issues are discussed. The tension between NGOs is every bit as frigid as between the pro and anti whaling forces. Major international conservation groups have different agendas to the international grass roots organisations. Some of the major groups want to see and have voiced their support for a return to commercial whaling ‘strictly controlled’. Without any means of enforcement, the IWC is a toothless tiger and any resumption of commercial whaling would not be controlled. Legal whaling has always encouraged illegal whaling because it provides a cover which can be circumvented. Many of the major groups are also members of the Antarctic and Southern Ocean Coalition (ASOC), the only NGO allowed to be present at Antarctic Treaty meetings where one would reasonably expect that Japanese whaling would be raised. Not so. ASOC coalition will not address the issue under any circumstances. Yet many of the group members are also IWC NGOs. Their silence on Japanese whaling in the

international arenas where their lobbying could make a major difference is inexplicable. Then there’s the highly contentious issue of aboriginal subsistence whaling. Grass roots groups oppose all whaling on the grounds of global warming, overfishing and of primary importance, the fact that most whales are too contaminated for any human to eat. Many of the major groups support aboriginal subsistence whaling even though it is highly doubtful that any truly legitimate subsistence whaling exists, although the Alaskan Inuits and Chukotkan Russians would object. But the reality of climate change and the state of the world’s oceans demand con-

servation not slaughter. Some scientists are arguing over these rights suggesting that it is better to allow indigenous people to send species to extinction rather than the other way round. The federal government will send its usual bureaucrats and no doubt, Malcolm Turnbull, the new Minister for the Environment, will put in an appearance as it always looks good back home to see Australia standing up for the whales. The fact that Australia really isn’t standing up for whales, that the Minister’s pronouncements are more street theatre, is largely ignored by the mainstream media and the nightly 30 second grab on TV. John Howard’s continued reiteration that ‘his government will only use diplomacy’ is starting to sound and look extremely hollow. But the PM has lots of company in this empty place. Neither the US, UK, New Zealand or any other anti whaling country will take the hard yards and seek arbitration on Japanese whaling in the International Tribunal of the Law of the Sea. The standard excuse is ‘we might lose’. Given that the whales are losing all round, arbitration has to be better than the do-nothing policy of the Howard government. Meantime, President Bush has torn up all the laws protecting the Arctic marine environment and opened the

floodgates to massive seismic and gas exploration. On the other side of the Bering and Chukchi Seas, the Russians are doing the same thing. The oil and gas oligopolies are rubbing their collective hands over the new gold rush which is on for young and old as the Arctic melts and the seas become more readily exploitable. The sheer extent of exploration and future proposals for drilling platforms, harbours, pipelines and other infrastructure is mind boggling. At a time when whales are struggling to find food, oil exploration impacts fish, krill, amphipods and all the tiny crustacea on which the whales depend for survival. Noise generated by seismic surveys drives many species to change their migratory behaviour, seek new feeding grounds and interferes with their communication. There are no heroes at IWC meetings. No loud voice speaks out for whales, no knights in shining armour. In January, the Japanese whaling fleet will begin killing Humpbacks. If the ALP wins the next federal election, if their policies are to be believed, Australia may be taking action in the international courts to stop Japan’s slaughter. The legal advices obtained by Australians for Animals and other conservation groups overwhelmingly

agree. Legal action is the only way that Japan can be stopped. But given the desperate search for oil and gas to fuel the corporate engines of the US, and the nature of the trade relationships between anti whaling nations and Japan, the only way anti whaling governments can be forced by their electors to act is at election time. Mainstream Australian, New Zealand, UK and US media should be demanding to know why these governments will not act against Japan. These governments should be made to table their legal advice which they claim says that no legal action will succeed. Members and donors to major international conservation organisations should ask these groups to spell out their policies on whaling. And more importantly, provide some explanation as to why these organisations, if they are members of the ASOC Coalition, will not raise the issue of Japanese whaling in Antarctic Treaty meetings. One thing is very clear. The governments of Planet Earth do not want to know about the reality of global warming. Otherwise, every single whale would be protected and conventions such as the IWC would be focussed entirely on protection, conservation and responsible management. It is indeed a tragedy.

Seven years ago four of the country’s best musicians came together under the one banner FATS. It was a sizzling jazz infused contemporary creation comprised of Thierry Fosmale on bass(F), Dave Ades on alto sax (A), Scott Tinkler on trumpet (T) and Greg Sheehan on drums (S). Their initial two CDs saw them heaped with accolades by some of the most prestigious reviewers in the country. John Shand of the Sydney Morning Herald initially raved about FATS as ‘an explosion of energy and vitality that no label can put a lid on.’ He also said: ‘Fats contains some of the most staunchly bold and original improvising talents Australia has produced and the music they make is even better than the sum of its parts.’ You don’t get much better than that. The band was met with rave reviews and ecstatic audiences, Ades noted one time: ‘We played at St Kilda Festival in front of 50,000 people and the crowd went nuts. They didn’t have a preconceived idea of what we do, they just related to the energy of it.’ Fats was one of the most original bands to come out of Byron, and it was something that didn’t go unnoticed by musicians passing through. ‘I got to meet Dr John when he was playing the Blues Festival and we got to talking and I played him a Fats CD and he just loved it. He said: you guys are amazing!’

Fats created its own unique idiom to service a market that wanted dance music but could be delivered with what Dave describes as ‘the same telepathy and interplay you get in the most cutting edge jazz bands. The common denominator was groove based dance music.’

Dave happily announced the reunion of Fats, who come together Wednesday 30 and Thursday 31 at the Blue Birdy in Byron to record their next album.

Fats has been a huge inspiration for a lot of other bands. ‘What has been incredibly interesting in the last seven years is that we have influenced lots and lots of musicians and bands have formed like 12 Tone Diamonds who were directly influenced by the elasticity of the music.’

After some time in the shade, the boys are enjoying dusting off the old tunes and adding some brand new ones. ‘When we come together we have so many tunes that we have to remind each other just what goes with each title. We bring in the charts of what we have and then we are suddenly all playing it together.’

It was a trip playing with The Cat Empire overseas that inspired Dave to consider reforming Fats.

‘When I was in New York I played Fats to some people and they said it was what a lot of the producers were looking for. We are seeing these two gigs at the Blue Birdy as a re-emergence, or a homecoming. We have always had a lot of community support behind the band. The first two albums were funded by the community and this third will be as well. We will be selling the new album at the door for $20 and that will pay for the production. The names will go onto the album and anyone who pre-purchases also gets a copy of our second album. These will be two of the last gigs at the Blue Birdy at the Buddha Bar as the venue has sold and the little Birdy will be looking for a new nest.

It will certainly be a night to mark in the calendar when these 4 prestigious musicians come together again. ‘We are irreverent rebellious ratbags not concerned with being hip or conventional. We are just concerned with what we are playing. Every time we play in front of kids, they go wild, they really seem to get it.’ BE PART OF HISTORY IN THE MAKING WITH A LIVE FATS RECORDING AT THE BLUE BIRDY AT THE BUDDHA BAR ON WEDNESDAY 30 AND THURSDAY 31 MAY. TIX WILL BE $15 AT THE DOOR. DON’T MISS OUT, AND BE THERE EARLY!

TELLING SECRETS

It seems that we just can’t get enough Monk Action here in the Byron Shire. Every time you turn around there’s a new batch of blissfully grinning devotees trying to get into your chants. I have to admit they are very cute, and they are much easier to market than batches of Catholic priests. In fact, it might be true to say that monks are the latest spiritual accessory. I’m thinking of getting some for the kids. More fun than a hamster and even less intrusive. They’d be hard to top at show and tell and could really come in handy during those heated family arguments. The punishment of ‘time out’ would gain a spiritual dimension, and I’d be able to send the kids to their room for a 20 minute guided meditation. And the kids could learn the ‘I must not punch my brother in the head’ mantra. Not all monks are equal, some are just the warmup act for the Dalai Lama (a tough gig when you know it’s the Lama dude they want), others are entire gigs unto themselves. There’s whirling monks, singing monks, dancing monks, thinking monks... they’ve really got the monk market covered. Now before you start getting all hot under the collar, or warm under your robe, let me make it clear – I’m not a monk basher. I don’t want to burn in hell, or get bounced at the door of Nirvana for putting shit on enlightenment. They seem to have a handle on happiness, although I think it misses a few crucial points. One of the major flaws of Monk ministry is that it neglects to mention the absolute serenity and euphoric sense of connectedness one can get in Bunnings. In fact monks are about the only thing you can’t get at the superstore. Is there any greater feeling than standing surrounded by hardware? Bolts and screws and brooms and planks and sunshades, it’s like the entire possibility of human evolution awaits. It’s not just hardware, it’s a temple. Imagine what Adam and Eve could have done with that overgrown swamp they called Eden if they’d been able to nip down to Bunnings on the weekend and hit that apple tree with a bit of weed whacker. When I am in Bunnings I know that I have the potential to build a better place. I feel connected to every lost soul who wanders through – warm in the knowledge that we are all united through our desire for temporary if not slightly bodgy improvement. I have put the pitch to Bunnings management and they are very impressed. We have auditioned the religious leaders ready to lead the zealots, the only thing we are having problems with is the name. Bunnings insisted on slipping in a B for branding purposes. My concern is that I don’t know how seriously any population, no matter how misguided will follow the Bonks.

He’s a small man who can make a big noise. Jeff Lang needs no introduction to Australia, he’s long been heralded as one of our greatest musicians, songwriters and guitarists. He is currently touring promoting his anthology that spans from 1994 to 2006. ‘One third of the album is unreleased stuff, and it seemed a good way to draw a line under all the music I’ve put out so far before I bring out my new studio album. I tried to strike a balance between songs that fans associate with me like London or Batemans’ Bay, alternative versions of songs that changed after they were recorded like Cedar Grove, Gina and I Still See You, and a few songs that never found a home on one of my solo records like Elvis Is Still Dead.’ He performs at the Bangalow A&I Hall on Thursday.

band looks set to increase with Channel V announcing Something With Numbers front-man Jake Grigg as cohost of the new program The Rock Room, along with James Mathieson.

The brainchild of ex Mr Bungle and Faith No More guitarist Trey Spruance – California’s Secret Chiefs 3 return to our shores after 9 years! With a major cult following worldwide, this tour will include 3 members of Mr Bungle on stage, together for the first time, since their breakup! Spruance, the chief composer is a visionary madman capable of instilling both fear and respect in his listeners. Book of Horizons is their latest album and is an alchemical fusion of Morricone-esque cinematic grandeur, midnight surf guitar, traditional Middle Eastern rhythms, demonic death metal, and electronic deviance that yields a work of undeniable force. This is the kind of music that really must be heard to be understood, bound by a surreal logic both ridiculous and unforced; a true accomplishment, indeed. Virtuosity, paired with a fearless love of divergent styles and the humor and talent to skillfully, unmercifully mash them up, pushes this album into rarified heights. It’s like the full WOW at the Bangalow A&I Hall on Friday. Tickets are $35 at the door. Food and drink by Eats & Beats.

JUST LIKE JANIS With the success of Triple J airplay on Roots n All, Dallas Frasca and her Gentlemen are fast spreading an epidemic of down and dirty roots rhythms around the country. She’s been described as a modern day Janis Joplin and she surely appreciates the comparison. She has an undeniable stage presence. Her powerful and commanding vocal style is one of a kind, gritty, raw, and unrestrained. She is joined by the upside down back to front side dobro and mandolin extraordinaire, Jeff Curran at the Lennox Point Hotel on Sunday.

MONK AND MONKER The Tashi Lhunpo Monks are masters of Tibetan Buddhist tantric ritual and their lives are dedicated to practicing tantric ideals. To be with them, to observe and be touched by their humanity, is to see kindness in action. For their return visit to Bangalow, the Tashi Lhunpo Monks of Tibet with Tibetan musician Tenzin Choegyal will offer an amazing week of cultural programs, enabling all ages to participate in sampling the ancient Tibetan creative arts. This will include the Tibetan Art of Divination (personal consultations) Sand Mandala creation, Harmonic Chanting, free daily workshops and guided Meditations, as well as two very special evening concerts. All of this combines to create the Compassionate Mandala Tour. All this monk action and more at the A&I Hall from 20 – 27 May. You might even get a flash off monk as they charge down the hill on a billycart!

It’s the music that pushes their honest and positive vibes and blues & roots music is what Marshall & the Fro love and do best. Forming in 2003 and performing in premier venues ever since, Marshall

& the Fro are: Marshall OKell on slide guitar & percussion, Nick ‘the Fro’ Ohlson on Bass and Jake ‘poods’ Mann on drums & percussion. Featuring Marshall’s strong delta influenced mojo working vocals and slide guitar, the band and their music has an appeal that’s beyond conscious control. Their songs echo traditional and contemporary blues, rock, have strong earthly rhythms, a bounce of reggae & the warmth of the sweetest of melodies. After spending some 12 months in the studio recording, Marshall & the Fro have an electrifying debut album. Launching at The Great Northern Hotel Byron Bay on Saturday, the thirteen track album encapsulates the essence of new, fresh and original Australian blues & roots music.

TRANCE CONNOISSEURS‌ CHECK THIS OUT! Australia’s biggest Trance Party visits the hills of Byron for one night only!’ This Friday, Coorabell Hall is promised a complete makeover by The Transmission Magic City crew. Transmission Promotions consists of a small team based in Sydney who coordinate 5-8 events a year held in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane ranging from intimate gigs of 300 people to 7000 people parties. The event not only promises to deliver musical diversity but also an opulence in design and production unlike any previous parties held in the Shire. I don’t want to give away too much and who can explain better what is planned than the Sydney crew themselves.‌ ’Well, the sound-system is a corporate setup and will surely blow your soxs off! The theme is Karma – so we guess whatever that means to you! Could be Buddha, Shiva, maybe fairies or Egyptian cats. With special chill-out zone decked out with amazing visuals by Squiffy Vision.’ How did Transmission Magic City come about?

‘Transmission has been running for just over 10 years, starting out at Sublime in Pitt Street, Sydney. TMC has been in various venues growing over the years but nowadays, most of our events are at the Sydney Olympic States Sport Centre in Homebush.’ To many, Trance is just ‘doof’ music, how do you define diversity within this genre? Well, Trance is the umbrellaname if you like. With that, there are many sub-genres, (some of which I don’t even know how to explain). Transmission mainly focuses on Electro House to uplifting melodic Trance through to the harder styles like Hard Trance. Basically, the earlier is more melodic, and you’ll find you have your hands in the air flowing to the music, and later you’ll be bouncing up and down to the heavy bass-lines trying to catch your breath in the crazy riffs and outrageous samples. In your opinion, does Trance-music and spirituality go hand in hand? ‘I wouldn’t say they go hand in hand, but I think there is a principle you can apply to both – you can enjoy it all on your own where you reflect or you can appreciate celebrating Trance

and spirituality together in a group. Either can be enlightening!’ Check out the biggest, best and finest DJs in Trance at the moment and dance your furry booties off to Bas & Ram, Europe’s hottest Trance act from the Netherlands along Jowan, producer of 2006 track of the year ‘Face Plant’ who is also from the country that’s famous for its legalization of Mary J, Nervous, Sydney’s biggest Trance superstar and Nobby, Damixstylin, Studly is Blair, Strange Planet and Dreamweaver. Transmission Magic City kicks off strong at 8pm ‘til late‌ and the rumour goes that there is an after-party. Pre-sale tix at Happy High Herbs $15 + BF.

DJ AND MUSIC PRODUCTION WORKSHOPS From 21st May to 29th June the YAC will be host to workshops held by Dave B (Junkbeats and 24/7) tutoring in producing electronic music and using the studio, Bilbo Taylor giving radio workshops and Jackie Onassid teaching how to spin vinyl and CDs.

Celebrating Public Education – Education Week 2007 Public, primar y and secondar y schools in Byron Shire will join with schools across Australia this week to celebrate both Education Week and National Public Education Day (Thursday May 17). With the Education Week theme - A love of learning, public education can be proud of its academic record, achieving some of the world’s highest levels of literacy and numeracy in international testing. Public education can also be proud of its important role in making our society a cohesive one, one which stands out as a model for the rest of the world. The inclusive nature of our public education system, which takes all students regardless of religion, race, culture, disability or socioeconomic circumstance, makes it ideal to instil a diverse range of young people with the core values

that not only bind our community together but help it prosper. It could be said that public education educates for the real world. Our schools, with that socio-economic and ethnic mix, mirror the challenges of society – better preparing students to be successful in the workplaces and communities they will one day be part of. In the Byron district, our local public schools have been serving this community for the past 120 years and this week will celebrate Education Week with a variety of activities. Why not visit your local public school and meet the students and their teachers. You will be proud of them and their achievements.

SCOOP

HAPPY N’EVER AFTER This is about what might happen if there were to be an inversion of the famous fairy tales we all know – though are they still as familiar as they once were? Have little kids these days heard of Rapunzel, Rumpilstilskin, the Sleeping Beauty or Cinderella, the star of this story? The wizard who rules the roost takes a holiday to play golf in Scotland (half his luck), leaving the repository of classic tales in the hands of a couple of half-wits whose mission is to not let the balance between good and evil go skew whiff. It’s exactly the same thing as what happened all those years ago when the sorcerer went off and left Mickey Mouse, his apprentice, alone and in charge of all those headless brooms with their multiplying buckets of water. What eventuated then was scarier than Psycho, but unfortunately a similar drama is not replicated here. Visually, the movie is fab. Animation is breathtaking these days, but the preview of Shrek The Third that preceded it only accentuated the lightness of touch that this movie never manages to achieve. Nor is there a character as loveable as the big green ogre, nor one as funny as Eddie Murphy’s donkey. Cinderella is an Audrey Hepburn type, the wicked stepmother a dead set hornbag in red and the Prince, as they always seem to be now, a lantern jawed, blonde-haired, barrel chested dill in tights. The plot is threadbare, with the cutest touch being the Seven Dwarves turning up as Tennessean hillbillies. The

newcomer in the mix is the guy with the bob who has been the Prince’s flunky and who is in love with Cinderella. Cartoons can fire like nothing else the awakening imagination. Bugs Bunny at the piano in tux and bow tie playing Beethoven was a mind expanding picture that endures to this day, but such inspiration is lacking here. John Campbell

RUNNING WITH SCISSORS Three or four times your heart will be lifted by the the promise of this movie’s termination, only for it to be broken by the fade into further drivel. How many more indulgent melodramas about dysfunctional middleclass families must we endure? The shambolic story clatters around the coming out of a young gay guy (Joseph Cross) and the mental disintegration of his Mum (Annette Bening). Apart from Gwyneth Paltrow’s ridiculous turn as the psychiatrist’s daughter who hears the voices of her cat, the performances are hackneyed but earnest. Bening is a reliable actress who has always done fragile well and to this she adds self-delusion in portraying the wannabe writer who is losing her mind. Brian Cox is excruciatingly spot-on as the manipulating and equally deluded psychiatrist who becomes her Svengali, and Joseph Fiennes is robust as the strung out swarthy poof who seduces Cross, the narrator, who seems too old to be fifteen. It’s primarily about the relationship between mother and son, but I was forever hoping that Alec Baldwin’s character of the divorced husband might get a few more scenes. The train wreck of everybody’s peculiarities is well depicted (there is little indication of an outside world), but a self pitying tone festers throughout and the try-hard humour is stale. When the hair of younger daughter Natalie (Evan Rachel Wood) is singed by the gas cooker and she berates Cross’s lack of response with ‘that was funny. You should be laughing,’ she might as easily have been addressing the audience on behalf of the film’s script. The flabby screenplay comes across as superior and, worse, I was unable to give an iota about what happened to any of the people. When the son in distress rings his father collect and is hung up on, it is meant to be touching but is instead not credible. The end result is an uncommon mire of the annoying and the bone crushingly dull. It was not a complete dead loss however. The soundtrack prompted me to dust off my old vinyl collection, go to S and dig out Al Stewart’s beautiful The Year of the Cat album. I haven’t played it for yonks. John Campbell.

‘I’m a would-be investigative reporter who has fallen in love with the object of her investigation.’ Scarlett Johannsen plays Sondra Pransky, an awkward college newspaper writer who is given a tip-off on the Tarot Card Killer by the ghost of a dead journo. She enlists the help of a bumbling magician, Splendini, and sets off to get her very first ‘scoop’. Weird setup, but it’s Woody Allen, so that can be forgiven. Scoop shares much with Allen’s last flick, Match Point but it owes a lot more to oldschool Woody, in particular, Manhattan Murder Mystery. The opening twenty minutes feel all wrong – clunky dialogue, Scarlett trying too hard to look clumsy, Woody a little wooden and some not very special effects (even by Allen’s standards). Not many films get better as they go along but, by mid-way, Scoop starts to hum. Allen has the entire cinema audience laughing with lines like, ‘I don’t need to work out. My anxiety acts like aerobics.’ Hugh Jackman plays Peter Lyman, the wealthy, debonair suspect in Pransky’s case, and the object of her affections. This love twist heightens the stakes and drives us towards the somewhat surprising (but a little bit Scooby Doo) finale. Scoop is great fun for Woody fans and could easily have sustained a longer film. Tristan Bancks

THE NAMESAKE The Namesake is directed by Indian-born Mira Nair who also brought us Mississippi Masala and Monsoon Wedding. After a couple enter into an arranged marriage, the newly weds move from Calcutta to New York hoping to make a new life for themselves while retaining their identity. The clash of cultures that is the basis of the film’s story is simply the beginning of a journey that is as emotionally dense as it is colourful. Adapted from the Pulitzer prize-winning novel by Jhumpa Lahiri, Nair is at her best as she allows us to view life, love and death through an Indian prism before being catapulted to one fashioned in New York. The lead actors bring superb performances and a depth of understanding to the complexity of issues encountered. This is a generational family saga everyone can relate to. Lounge Cinema 1 9Ê ,‡ " / "

‘Do you think genetic modification is a blessing or a curse, Bitemark?’ asked Tosser Digby as he casually tossed his Glock FM 81 throwing knife in the direction of a beach walker dragged inland by a ferocious dachshund. We had just had our morning exercise by climbing the 123 steps to the top of the Myocum clubhouse turret, modelled on the Norman beauty at Pevensey Castle. We were seated upon upturned iron pots originally intended to hold boiling oil. We hadn’t had much call for boiling oil of late, though Chef once overturned a saucepan of highly excited safflower oil on a scorpion which had strayed too close to his foot. ‘I am undecided, old boy, though I err on the side of caution,’ I replied. ‘Our very presence in history has genetically modified nature over millennia but the ability to do it almost instantly is worrying.’ ‘Could do wonders for food,’ said Abbotsleigh, who was still wiping his red face. ‘Imagine a turbot crossed with a cheddar.’ ‘It can have its consequences,’ said Bosworth. ‘My uncle Nathaniel, well known in a family of eccentrics as an eccentric, became a scientist. He went on to cross the Capsicum with the Doberman, working on the notion that as the capsicum is aptly described as the plant that bites back, a few dog genes might add to that quality. The first fruit almost ripped his throat out and it had to be both put down and ripped out. The local council ranger issued him with an infringement notice which he disputed in court, arguing that a vegetable was not covered by the Act in question. He got off, but in any case decided not to pursue that dangerous line of research.’ ‘Ah, the capsicum,’ said Abbotsleigh, threatening to wax lyrical. ‘Wonderful for the circulatory system.’ Lodgemuscle, a fan of Norman architecture and an amateur botanist and chemist, butted in: ‘It is the capsaicin, or more preciseiy methyl vanillyl nonenamide, which gives capsicum its bite. Interestingly this lipophilic chemical was “designedâ€? to protect the fruit from consumption by mammals, while the bright colours of the fruit attract birds to spread the seed. I guess on this occasion our ancestors declined to act like mammals, apart from those affected by a burning sensation in the anus when they failed to digest the fruit properly. ‘Even more interestingly, lipophilic substances interact with other substances through van der Waals forces. And when a molecule of a lipophilic substance is enveloped by water, surrounding water molecules enter into an ice-like structure over the greater part of its molecular surface – fascinating. And invariably they have large partition coefficients‌’ It was about this stage Digby had to be restrained from throwing Lodgemuscle off the turret and we decided to move to safer surroundings. By coincidence Chef had produced a capsicum-themed meal for lunch. We began with Yellow Capsicum and Leek Soup accompanied by a straw-coloured Hock, a dry white largely overlooked these days, followed by Grilled Orange Roughy in a Red Capsicum Sauce bolstered by Costello’s Post Budget Vigorous Shiraz, carrying a hint of pepper and smarminess. The meal concluded with Green Capsicum and Peppermint Ice-Cream assisted by Hercule Poirot Creme de Menthe. Outside it began to drizzle – a rare occurrence. We settled down for a nap in our armchairs in the drawing room, lulled by the raindrops sliding gently down the windows. Fortunately Lodgemuscle had gone off to study a rare orchid near Tabulam, and there was no chance he might blind us with science – or be blinded by a sudden wushu manoeuvre from Digby.

The two words Sunday and lunch seem made for each other in a way that no other coupling of a day and a meal manage. Certainly, for the majority of people whose lives are structured around conventional fiveday working weeks and two-day weekends, Sunday is the obvious day for languid, leisurely lunching. In cities the prospect has less charm than in the country, where much of the pleasure lies in the journey to the reward at the end. Anyone who has travelled the world must have at least one pungent memory of the tiny, nondescript place they stumbled upon as part of the loose, spontaneous pattern of their stay: often familyrun establishments devoid of a menu and instead serving up whatever dish was cooked that day. For such a huge and sprawling continent Australia continues to be disappointing in this regard – still too new, perhaps. There is such a lot of actual country where cute little eateries could pop up endlessly. The problem, possibly, is one of sustainability: how to keep alive a small out-of-the-way business in all those stretches of emptiness, without the dense populations of Europe and Asia. Up here on the Far North Coast – where soothing timelessness may be found in every velvet fold of valley and down every sun-stippled road which weaves and winds through forests and from every lofty lookout down to glassy spread of ocean – up here we have a mere handful of places to Sunday-lunch. (I am aware of the DIY option – a picnic, a barbecue – wherein resides a host of other pleasures, but which also involves forethought and effort on a day when you may be persuaded toward neither.) Pogel’s Wood Cafe has been around for a long time. It is in the village of Federal which on a sunny Sunday seems – it might have been our moods – to smile benignly onto strangers who initially mistake the funky cafÊ next to the general store for the restaurant. The funky cafe’s menu sounds rather good too – though not a patch on the one we are handed as we settle into comfortable outdoors chairs around the corner. Leela Toulkes and her partner Chris took over the place some eight months ago after operating her own catering business and manufacturing her own line of take-home dinners. Here, in a homely cottage whose garden forms the lush and fragrant backdrop to your meal, she sends out tempura oysters whose lightly crisp coating cracks at the bite to release the creamy briny centre; a squeeze of fresh lime and a dunk into the accompanying paprika mayo elevate them further, and my oyster-hating partner devours three of the half dozen even faster than I. After that I eat sweet-fleshed snapper on a sweet potato galette in a perfumed puddle of coconut and lime, while his knife slides easily through the melting flesh of beef fillet and its matching tower of earthy roast beetroot and spinach. The wedge of dense lemon and raspberry cake we share – required only, of course, in order to absorb our excellent Merlo coffees – is utterly superb, and we drive back home afterwards through the forest in a state of sleepy sated Sunday sensuality. Harvest Cafe at Newrybar is another institution, a Sunday-lunch destination newly changed hands. Owners Tristan and Cassia – who sound like Greek mythology if not Shakespeare – have so far made few changes to a menu which always successfully sought to appeal to a broad, smartly casual palate. Better still, they have kept on head chef Dave Ness and especially his heavenly signature dish of duck and udon noodles in a spicy broth with shitake mushrooms and Asian greens. If in doubt order that – but the corn-fed chicken breast on its bed of silky parsnip puree finished with a buttery almond sauce will similarly melt in your mouth. The house salad is a gorgeously dressed tangle of greens from which you can forage toasted pecans, Bulgarian fetta and slivers of fresh pear, while the toffee-topped vanillascented creme brulee with its heart of syrupy raspberry is little short of sublime. Sitting out on that verandah nursing a glass of New Zealand sauvignon blanc you look out at fertile fields of coffee and macadamias and feel, fleetingly, that all is right with the world – at least until the new week wheels its way sternly in.

Bangalow becomes our racetrack. Up to 9000 spectators & competitors converge on the town for the annual Bangalow Billycart Derby.

This year, amongst the traditional, homegrown, novelty and professional races, we have CarveBoard Australia staging our ďŹ rst CarveBoard street surf. ‘Nothing simulates the uid turns & hard carves of sea & snow sports like this wheeled street machine – it’s the closest you’ll come to surďŹ ng or snowboarding on asphalt’ promises the Carveboard team. We’ve seen carts of all shapes & sizes. A cofďŹ n, a buttery, a

see the most innovative carts in billycart history. So start building. If you have the sleekest, smoothest, speediest cart around, we want to see you in action. Sometimes simplicity is the winner, bring those carts your grandparents built. Packing cases & prams wheels amongst rear spoilers & high-gloss ducos. Bangalow Billycart Derby welcomes you all. To avoid disappointment on the day, don’t forget to visit our website, download the rules & classiďŹ cations and make sure your cart meets the required speciďŹ cations. While you are there, vote in our online poll – which shire will have the fastest cart this year?

Visit: www. bangalowbillycart. com.au & send us an

email to register your interest. You will go into the draw to win a FREE HELICOPTER RIDE on the day, thanks to Gold Coast Helicopters. The Derby not only needs competitors & spectators to make it the greatest day of the year, it also needs sponsors and volunteers. Let us know how you can help. See you there!

Sports Roundup with John Campbell World beaters on the Costa de Caparica

Byron Bay’s Garrett Parkes (pictured) is the new Boys’ Under 16 World Champ after winning his age group’s final at the 2007 Quiksilver ISA World Junior Surfing Championships in Portugal on the weekend. He was at his irresistible best in the final, locking in the highest single wave score of all of the divisional finals (9.6 out of 10). ‘I’m over the moon,’ said an emotional Garrett, dedicating the win to to his father who is recovering from a stroke. ‘He’s the man.’ Garrett and fellow Byron surfer Ellis Ericson were members of the Australian contingent that blew away their opposition to take out the Team World Championship for the second year running.

Youngsters benefit from rugby’s nurturing A bleak Friday night could not diminish the enthusiasm of the latest team to join the Far North Coast Junior Rugby Union’s 13 week competition. Bangalow’s Under 12s ran out handsome winners, 25-5, over Lennox Head in a debut that pleased their coach, David Wiseman no end. David was not a bad player himself, representing at CHS level and making the grade for Northern Suburbs in the tough Sydney comp in the eighties. Like a lot in the fraternity, he is keen on putting something back into the game. ‘It’s not just about running on to the field and playing,’ he explained. ‘It’s about the values that we want to pass on to kids. Sportsmanship, teamwork and nurturing a sense of community.’ This is David’s second year in coaching, after being at Lennox last season, and working alongside him at the new venture is Paul Delfino, who has also been heavily involved with the formation of the club. ‘You could say he is my mentor,’ David added. ‘And there are plenty of others who are putting their hand up to

be part of it, with members of the Bangalow seniors giving their time to assist with the kids’ individual training. ‘Most of them have come from soccer and aren’t very familiar with the rules and skills of Rugby, so it’s great to see the older blokes willing to be part of it. We want

honours by being included in the NSW Country selection squad. A tight head prop who also plays lower grade league with the Byron Red Devils, Harry was a late replacement in the 2006 Far North Coast side and has gone one better this year. ‘He’s just so proud to be

the kids to feel that when they join up they are not just becoming part of a football team, but also inheriting thirty new uncles.’ Meanwhile, at the next level, fifteen year old Byron High student Harry Warnes (pictured) has made the first step on the long road to rep

identified by the selectors,’ said his proud mum. ‘And he’s also really aware of breaking the stereotype of Rugby players being strictly from private schools.’ Well done Harry and the Bangalow Juniors. The future for the Rah Rahs are in good hands.

Vlad Knaus The crowd at the Byron Rec Grounds on Saturday were treated to one of the best exhibitions of free flowing football that has been seen there in recent times. The Byron Bay Rams’ opponents, Burringbar, were fresh from a 7-0 rout of Lismore Workers and were confident of victory against the premiers. But the Rams’ juggernaut proved to be unstoppable and the visitors had no answer to the Rams’ flair and style. The game was only seven minutes old and the Rams were leading 2-0 through goals to Tom Ruhl and Tom Ryzac, suggesting the mayhem that was to follow. The Rams led 5-0 at the

break and carried on with it in the second half. Ruhl and Jordy Campbell stole the limelight with Ruhl netting five goals all up and Campbell three in an astonishing display of clinical finishing as the side slotting in eleven goals to Burringbar’s one in reply. Others to get on the score sheet were Aaron Richter Steers and Jonathon Pierce. The Rams are playing an inspiring brand of football and all players and the entire coaching squad should be proud of the team’s development. Confidence has grown with the good results and the Rams are itching to take on all comers. The premier reserves had earlier set the scene with an inspiring 10-1 victory. The

Rams were in control from the start and led 4-0 by half time, with goals to Mark Shepherd, Alex Cruse, Paulo Andrade and Gareth Bevan. The second half saw further goals to Shepherd, Steve Kirkpatrick, Andrade and a fine hat trick to Thiago Priori. The Rams played solidly with Shepherd, Bevan and Priori the stand outs. The fourths played much improved soccer against the Lismore Thistles. They were unlucky to go to the break with the scores locked at 1-1 after having two goals disallowed. In the second half the ball was moved quickly from one end of the field to the other, only for the Thistles to get a 2-1 victory with the last kick of the game.

Steve Edmonds The Bruns Valley superior seconds went down 2-0 to Goonelabah despite dogged defending by Heath Ogston and Kirk O’Sullivan and a brilliant penalty save by keeper Bruce Lang. The boys came close in the second half when Dean Treveton sent a thunderbolt into the post, but it was not to be their day. Luck deserted the thirsty

thirds in a classic game of two halves against Rovers. An energetic first half saw the Valley go to the break 2-0 up, following goals from Leon McLean and Ben Wills. The turning point came early in the second half when a Des Mayblom challenge had the referee pointing to the spot. The spot kick was duly converted to make it 21. Rovers scored another two quick goals, but Leon

McLean pulled Valley level with a thunderous header. In the dying minutes, the opposition sneaked a late winner as the defence began to tire. Despite good work from Dougall Forrest and Mitya Vibert-Gigue, the way through could not be found and the game finished at 4-3 to Rovers. The Sixths went to the top of the table by beating South Lismore 2-1.

Sports Roundup with John Campbell

Seconds out of the ring, quiet on set and ... action! John Campbell It is indeed an oddity that, in a sports crazy nation like Australia, we have not been able, or willing, to produce a great sport movie. There can no longer be any doubting our ability to do so, for Oz is blessed with people working in the business who are as highly regarded as any in the world, both in front of and behind the camera. And only a complete mug would deny the wealth of material that is available to anybody inclined to use it. I suspect that the dearth has a lot to do with the fact that the vast majority of films made in Australia are done so with partial or total funding by government offices. Which is to say, the people holding the hoops through which one must jump to get money to develop a project are bureaucrats whose imagination has been made flaccid by political correctness but whose ambition allows them to cling like raptors to the rusty old concept that art equals smart and games equal dumb. Phillip Adams, a champion of the Australian film industry and grande fromage of the intelligentsia, boasts

about knowing nothing of sport. It is below him. This is a philosophically stunted stance that only underlines the paranoia and insecurity of those who believe that, lest they descend into the despised mediocrity

box office, on top of having a cherished place in the national psyche. Australian Rules (2002) was outstanding, but last year’s Footy Legends was less noteworthy. Dealing with rugby league, it probably got

without trace. But where is the great movie about Bradman (I know, he seemed a boring old fart, but there must be something there for screenwriters), about the magnificent Ella brothers, three

of popular culture, they must walk the narrowest of black shirted Proustian paths. It’s true, the local cinematic landscape is not entirely barren of sporting subjects. Phar Lap (1983), if hardly a classic, was a story crying out to be told, satisfying all the prerequisites demanded by the

the nod from funding bodies because its young Vietnamese director Khoa Do’s previous independent effort, the brilliant The Finished People, was a ‘proper’ movie about drugs and street kids. Footy Legends made a rod for its own back by casting Mario Fenech as himself and it sank

Aboriginal boys who emerged from Matraville High to set the world rugby stage alight? Or Fanny Durack and Mina Wylie? Who? Theye were swimmers who, scorned by officials and condemned by prominent feminist Rose Scott for showing too much leg, made their

way with the support of public subscription from Coogee to the 1912 Stockholm Olympics, where they won gold and silver medals. Is there a script in there or what? The list of fine British and American sport features is long - A League of Their Own, The Natural, The Babe, Chariots of Fire, This Sporting Life, Fever Pitch, Bend It Like Beckham, Friday Night Lights (a personal favourite) - and I’m sure it will be added to. Undoubtedly, the sport most appealing to movie makers has been boxing. And is it not frustrating to see Russell Crowe nominated for an Oscar for his portrayal of the heavyweight Jim Jeffreys when he might as easily have been playing Newcastle’s far more complex, ill-fated hero Les Darcy? Commitment and struggle, conflict, triumph and defeat – boxing is the human condition writ large, a drama lending itself ready-made to the big screen. From the soap opera of Rocky to the Greek tragedy of Raging Bull, from Clint Eastwood’s heartbreaking Million Dollar Baby to the elevating documentary of Muhammad Ali’s 1975 rum-

Cool hand Luke takes Giants prevail in epic struggle out triathlon

Luke McKenzie of the Gold Coast chills after beating the field of 700 home in last Saturday’s Byron Bay Triathlon. The first woman across the line was Brisbane’s Rina Hill. Local hope Pip Taylor came in third after being penalised thee minutes for drafting on the bike leg. Pip had the race for the taking at the time and her placing was an outstanding effort given the setback she needed to overcome. Picture by Jeff Dawson

John Campbell Saturday night’s final scoreline of 26-6 for Mullumbimby over South Tweed belies the closeness of what was an absorbing, warts and all game of football. The Giants approached the encounter with patchy form. A heavy loss last week at Ballina, an uneven win over a depleted Cudgen outfit and a draw on the bell against the Kyogle Turkeys did not suggest that the team was yet playing with any consistency. Though back home at the Les Donnelly Field, the crack visitors were always going to be a major hurdle for the Giants to overcome if they were to not fall behind the pace of the competition’s top five. Captain Adam McKenzie, returning from injury, and fellow prop Rick Oxley tore in hard from the outset and found eager support from a workhorse back row. Robbie Wark was busy at dummy half and in the fourteenth minute the Giants were over, only to be called back for a forward pass. It was the first of many that the ref found on both sides as he threatened to spoil the contest by blowing the pea out of his whistle. Full back Murray Brown, ever dangerous with his incisive running in broken play, was also denied a try,

as was South Tweed on two occasions. By this time Foghorn Leghorn and the howling banshee in the visitors’ bleachers were going right off and the tension becoming palpable. Weight of position finally got Tweed the opening try and they went to the sheds at 6-2 after a Paul Latta penalty on the siren. The intensity was cranked up noticeably in the bruising second stanza. When Mullumbimby’s lock Paul Mitchell was stretchered off with concussion and Brown limped off soon after with a strained calf muscle it was time for the Blue and Golds to dig deep. In the seventh minute, after a scramble near the South Tweed line, Rob Goodacre barged over and Latta’s conversion put them ahead 8-6. South Tweed’s Goliath front rower then joined Mitchell in Disneyland, his carting off providing the sagging stretcher and its puffing bearers a monster workout. A spear tackle on a Giants player almost resulted in an all-in and, with things getting willing, the captain’s blood pumping call went up; ‘let’s give it to ‘em Mullum!’ The next scorer would win the game, you could tell. The Giants knew it too and made errors in their anxiety to get the try. But come it did in the

23rd minute when winger Chad Grant crossed in the corner. Latta’s sideline conversion never looked like missing and at 14-6 Mullum had some breathing space. Cue the veteran number three for a piece of magic that sealed South Tweed’s fate. Weaving his way downfield, Latta had not a hand laid on him as he sprinted sixty metres to link up with the flying Joel Christie who raced over for an 18-6 lead with thirteen remaining. The sin binning of a South Tweed player was followed by a try to tireless second rower Brett Archibald and the conversion from the eastern extremity gave Foghorn and the banshee one last opportunity to dump vitriol on the ref. It was enough to make this timid reporter blush, but Latta remained calm and guided the ball through the sticks for 24-6. Suddenly remembering a penalty he had not awarded, the ref blew for an old fashioned shepherd against South Tweed and Latta kicked a long range goal to complete the hard-earned 26-6 victory. ‘That was our best effort all year,’ said coach Damon Scott. ‘It was all about heart out there tonight.’ The Giants are back in business.

ble in the jungle with George Foreman, When We Were Kings, the genre is a consistently successful one, a canvas rich in colour, movement and meaning. Why our filmmakers have not been able match this output is damning evidence of the schism that exists between sport and what Sir Les Patterson, himself a grotesque parody of one group by the other, irreverently calls the yarts. Interestingly, when the first black man to win the world heavyweight title, the American Jack Johnson, took the crown he did it by knocking out the Canadian Tommy Burns in 1908 on the site of the old Sydney Stadium. The early rounds were captured on film, but when it became apparent that the white bloke was copping a hiding, the cameras were stopped. For want of imagination, or through snobbery, they remain so.

A reader writes: ‘There are no bad dogs, only bad owners. And the guy in the orange shirt who was walking his dogs without leads down Stuart Street, Mullum, at dusk on Thursday was a prime example. Not interested in calling his sheepdog away from rampaging through unfenced gardens along the way, he stood and watched impassively as his two dogs aggressively circled and then quickly closed in on a very elderly, deaf and peaceful cat which was sitting enjoying the last warmth of the day in its owner’s driveway. A young father out walking with his toddler was left to try to chase the dogs off and give the cat a chance to escape. Your dogs might be pedigrees, mate, but you’re just a mongrel.’ ■■■■Speaking of dogs, there is nothing which stirs the passions of letter writers like the dog issue – see page 12.
