This wheel’s on fire, rolling down the road…

It was a case of going, going, gone for Bangalow mum Donna Aboody. Her pirate ship capsized while trying to bridge the gap between her and her rival Samantha Rowling, from Alstonville, in the Broken Head Quarry cart. Donna wasted no time on the tarmac, picking herself up, dusting herself off and raising her hands to encourage the crowd. On the walk back up the hill, Donna’s son was heard asking her, ‘So, did you win, Mummy?’.

Story & photos Lou Beaumont The biggest and greenest Bangalow Billy Cart Derby yet was held on Sunday. With 249 entries in the races (at least 15% more carters than last year), an 8,000 strong crowd and some perfect autumn weather, the derby was a rolling, rollicking success. Green too, with recycling systems in place, organised by Natasha Morton, leaving a significant reduction in rubbish at the end of the day. As always, spectacular stacks were among the highlights of the day, as was the colourful street parade with local charity groups and businesses participating, including the Bangalow firies. Vintage cars and their proud owners formed a steady stream down main street and then it was

time for more races. Three Bangalow teenage boys of the West Side Racing team, A J Wilson, Rian West and Aaron Coleman, saw their late night practice runs pay off when they won every division they entered in their slick, barely audible racing machines. The afternoon saw the seniors races, the mothers races, the novelty races and the celebrity race. Leighton Jones’s spectacular ‘Titanic’ drew gasps from the crowd as it steadily set off down the track. Nothing could stop the giant billy cart with its perfectly regal exterior – it even managed to crash through an iceberg that appeared in its path. The celebrity race featured Scott McGregor from Better

Homes & Gardens who was victorious, a visiting Tashi Lhunpo monk Jampa Lama, Don Page MP, Simon Balcon from the Bangalow Rugby Club and XXXX Beer’s Jacko. Organiser Tony Heeson said, ‘As always the community help was incredible. Mick O’Regan (Radio National) was fantastic. We were short on commentators and he ran the show all day. Ron Murphy of Eden Country Stores donated all the hay bales and Ernie Grono loaded all the bails onto two semi-trailers, unloaded them, loaded them again after the derby and unloaded them once more. Amazing. All of the volunteers, as always, made the day. It was a wonderful family day – it couldn’t have been better.’

Sorry Day referendum anniversary Do you want to know more about the 1967 Referendum and some recent Aboriginal history? If you do, then get along to the Byron Community and Cultural Centre from 2 pm onward on Saturday May 26, Sorry Day 2007. This year marks the 40 year anniversary of the 1967 Referendum, which saw more than 90% of eligible Australians vote ‘Yes’ to count Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians in the national census of the population and to give the Commonwealth government power to make specific laws in respect of Indigenous people.

This event is often referred to as the first stage of the reconciliation movement in Australia. There was broad support for the amendments from the general community, church leaders, unionists, sports people and the media. The proposed amendments received 5,183,113 votes or 90.77% in favour, the biggest majority ever to be afforded to a referendum question in Australia. To commemorate the significant change to our Constitution in May 1967, the Arakwal People of Byron Bay, Sisters for Reconciliation (Northern Rivers), the Cavanbah Reconciliation

Group, the Byron Community and Cultural Centre and the Byron Shire Council are sponsoring the event on Saturday. Welcome to Country will begin the program at 2 pm, which will include Aboriginal dancing, speakers, Lousy Little Sixpence video, music, displays, information and souvenir items. Special guest speaker will be Aunty Pauline Gordon. The program will finish around 6.30pm/7pm with a dinner of kangaroo stew, fish, rice and salad. Entry is free, and food and drink are offered for a small donation. Everyone is welcome.

Byron Shire Council is inviting public comments on its Draft 2007/10 Management Plan and Budget. Council adopted the Draft Management Plan and Budget for 2007-2010 for public exhibition at its meeting on May 3. ‘The Management Plan is the most important document that Council produces,’ Mayor Jan Barham said. ‘It’s our guide for the future, it provides a plan for the next three years, with next year’s priorities identified. ‘Council voted unanimously to support a 5% rate increase to provide much needed additional funds to upgrade and maintain infrastructure. Byron Shire is still below the state’s average rate and we also had some financial disadvantage to overcome, including the state government resuming man-

agement of the Crown Caravan Parks, a reduction in government funding due to increases in land values, despite this not increasing funds to Council. ‘I am pleased that Council has supported a dedicated position for a Sustainability Officer who will have responsibility for overseeing the implementation of the Greenhouse Action Strategy and sustainability projects. There has also been some restructure of the Council to provide for greater integration and efficiency. ‘A number of projects have been prioritised including the new library, Bangalow Heritage House upgrades, Mullumbimby Civic Hall upgrade and sports fields across the shire.

Landcare workshop Brunswick Valley Landcare is holding a public workshop on restoring wildlife habitat in bush regeneration sites on Saturday May 26, 1.30pm– 4.30pm. The workshop will teach participants the basic principles of wildlife conservation and how to recognise, protect and enhance fauna habitat features in areas that are being treated for environmental weeds or being planted with trees. The workshop will be held on a property in the Upper Pocket. For enquiries and workshop bookings please contact Georgia Beyer 6626 7028 (Tuesday and Wednesdays) or Judy MacDonald 6684 5390.

No benefit from levy, say landholders John Campbell Contrary to what the grunge of Jonson Street might suggest, Byron Bay is still a rural shire. Many of its residents live on the other side of the highway, far from tinseltown’s madding crowd, and plenty of them own dairies, run cattle, are planters of citrus, macadamias and the boom crop of coffee, provide tourism amenities or are simply involved in attempting to restore the Big Scrub that preceded all comers. Regardless of their pursuit, each is liable to pay a levy to the Rural Lands Protection Board if they own four or more hectares of land, and there is a growing feeling among them that they are getting a raw deal out of the arrangement. Patrick Morrisey of Goonengerry is exasperated at the high handedness of the RLPB in taking his and other landholders’ money but not reciprocating with the provision of necessary services, particularly in the area of feral animal control. His public remonstrations have won support from a groundswell of locals who are similarly peeved.

The Hon Richard Bull has been appointed by the State Minister for Primary Industries to conduct a review of the RLPB’s rating system and last Friday he fronted an irate gathering at Federal Hall to respond to landholders’ concerns. The public meeting was well attended by representatives of all interested parties as well as the state Member for Lismore, Thomas George (MLA), Byron Shire Mayor Jan Barham and Councillors Richard Staples and Peter Westheimer. The major bone of contention proved to be the inflexibility of the RLPB in imposing yearly charges for livestock protection on people who have no livestock. What emerged was indication of an organisation that appears to have passed its use-by date and is now largely out of touch, in Byron Shire’s case especially, with new practices of land use. Notwithstanding the serious question of equity, underlined by the inexplicable anomaly of the exemption from payment awarded to cane growers, there was also damning anecdotal evidence

of the Board’s repeated lack of response to numerous requests for assistance with the eradication of wild dogs and foxes from our area. The overwhelming feeling of resentment was put down to the belief that the Board is only interested in dealing with primary producers. Brian Harbison, TweedLismore RLPB Chairman spoke of the wording of the Act that created the RLPB, arguing that regardless of his or anybody else’s sense of injustice, the Board could only function according to its specific guidelines. Cr Barham stressed that the value of the shire’s biodiversity was being put at risk by the inability of the Board to come to terms with its peculiar needs. Referring to a submission made by Council in 2005 to have a conservation rating included in the Local Government Act, she

suggested to Mr Bull that state government’s many layered approach to dealing with such issues was a waste of money and, in the end, not nearly as affective as would be the case if local councils were to have licence to do what the RLPB is currently billing people for without any return. Ms Barham also urged Mr Bull to mention in his report the anxiety that has been needlessly experienced by landholders after reprehensibly being threatened by the RLPB with the loss of their property for not complying with its demands. Mr Bull’s report is due to be tabled on July 1, with written submissions being accepted by his office until April 13. It is to be hoped that that long gone closing date is not an indicator of the disingenuousness of Macquarie Street in its regard of Mr Morissey and those who came to Federal.

Local News Big thumbs-up for Byron hospitals

North Coast Area Health Service chief executive Chris Crawford, centre, with, from left, Rae Cooper from Byron District Hospital’s Pink Ladies group, Chris Barron, acting child and family health coordinator, Narelle al-Manro, the hospital’s acting executive officer, and the secretary of the Hospital Auxiliary, Maureen Weir.

Volunteers from the Hospital Auxiliary and the Pink Ladies, two groups that North Coast Area Health Service chief executive Chris Crawford said ‘have done so much over the years to support the efforts of our staff,’ received special thanks at a ceremony last Friday to award four-year accreditation to Byron District Hospital and Mullumbimby & District War Memorial Hospital. The accreditations, also covering Community Health services at both locations, came from the Australian Council on Healthcare Standards, the nation’s foremost independent authority on quality health monitoring. Addressing nursing and general staff as well as mem-

bers of the volunteer groups, Mr Crawford said the ACHS audit measures how good a healthcare organisation is in terms of the standard of patient care. ‘Both Byron and Mullumbimby Hospitals play a central role in helping to care for the local community and all staff can feel proud of their teams’ achievements.’ Mr Crawford praised the professionalism of the staff who run the 24/7 services as well as the long tradition of volunteer support to the public health system. ‘Regardless of the size of budgets, it would never be possible to afford everything and the efforts of our dedicated volunteers are to be applauded,’ he said. The Byron Auxiliary’s sec-

retary, Maureen Weir, said seven months of fundraising had resulted in the purchase of high dependency unit monitoring equipment worth $35,000 that was handed over to the hospital on Monday. This was the major medical item donated in the past year. The Pink Ladies have also been active, with around $16,000 being spent recently on orthopaedic chairs, electric beds, ultrasound probes and a pulse oximeter. Half of the money came from the Pink Ladies’ hugely popular golf day (the next one is on September 9). Like the Auxiliary, they extended their thanks to the Byron Shire community for its ongoing generosity.

Pathways plans north coast camp The Pathways Foundation will be holding a North Coast Leadership Camp from Thursday June 21. The five to six day camp will be led by a group of experienced leaders and support staff, according to regional coordinator Daniel Prokop. ‘The program has been developed over the past twelve years,’ Daniel told The

Echo. ‘It begins with an orientation evening for parents only which usually takes place a week or so prior to the camp.’ Pathways to Manhood provides a community based, contemporary Rite of Passage for boys into manhood and is a registered harm prevention charity. ‘The main program consists of three

principal elements,’ says Daniel. ‘The Leaving Day/ Separation, The Bush Camp/ Transformation and The Return Day/Integration.’ The Pathways Foundation is a non profit organisation and all donations are tax deductible. For more info visit www.pathwaysfoundation.com.au or phone 6684 3392.

Public education is important, says retiring Mullum principal Outgoing principal of Mullumbimby Public School, Alex Benham, spoke to the history and values of public education in his last Education Day speech at the school last Thursday. Mr Benham, who will retire at the end of this term after ten years at the school, spoke to the assembled students, staff, and parents, about public education, the history of it in NSW, and the continued need for it now and in the future. ‘For our public education system we can be thankful to the Public Instruction Act of 1880, and to the Premier at the time, Sir Henry Parkes. If it was not for Parkes and his supporters, education in NSW and Australia could be quite different today. ‘Before Henry Parkes became a person of power and influence in NSW, class, race and religious prejudice had already taken hold in the colony. The few established denominational schools reflected the old world values of England and were supported in general by the colony’s rulers. Parkes could see that in order to survive and prosper, the [young] colony needed to reward ability and effort, from wherever it came. ‘Sir Henry Parkes was also the “father of Federation”, and in these later years of the 19th Century there was much talk about the building of a strong, robust, inclusive democracy for the federated Australia – what is often referred to as a social democracy. Such a democracy needed a particular foundation. That foundation was to be a public education system. ‘To quote Parkes at the time: “for a democratic society to prosper, it must be built on an education system of the highest standard, open to all without fees or religious tests and accessible

I’ve been out of the workforce too long...

wherever school age children live”. ‘Parkes could see that the strength of public education was its inclusiveness. The fact that it took all students regardless of religion, race, culture, disability or socioeconomic circumstance. A system that provided equal opportunity for all. ‘The system has done a wonderful job in providing a diverse range of young people with the core values that not only bind our community together but help it prosper – values like tolerance, honesty, excellence, respect, responsibility, cooperation, participation, care, fairness and democracy. Our public schools, with that total mix of society, mirror the challenges of society and better prepare students to be successful in their workplaces and communities. ‘Having that wide section of society doesn’t make life easy in a public school but by far the majority of our students are able to aspire to those values. For those who haven’t got there yet – that provides a challenge for us to work with – students, parents and teachers. That’s the

inclusiveness of public education, our greatest challenge and our greatest strength. It is the real world and what we celebrate during Education Week. ‘This year’s theme for Education Week is “A Love of Learning”. Whether that learning be done at school, at home or in the greater community – whether it be in the academics, in sport or in the arts, there can be no greater gift to give someone, or no better attitude to develop. If we can develop a love of learning, our success is ensured.’

Biofuels focus Alternative fuels and energy will be the focus of a forum at Casino on Friday May 25. Hosted by the NSW Farmers Association, the forum will examine opportunities for alternative fuel and energy production in agriculture and forestry.

Bruns Old and Gold Day a chance to recycle

Recycling your pre-loved treasures is great for the environment because it extends the life of manufactured goods and reduces landfill, say organisers of the Brunswick Heads Old and Gold Event. It has been condensed to one day, Saturday June 9 on the long weekend, provides two recycling opportunities – the all-town garage sale and the indoor secondhand fair, along with a household and business roundup of mobile phones and printer cartridges. Brunswick households wishing to hold garage sales on Saturday will need to register with Todd on 6685 1754 before May 30. Free promotion and colourful bunting will be provided to identify your location. Those who don’t live in Students from Wilsons Creek School have been monitoring the Bruns have the option of health of Wilsons Creek on a regular basis. Last Thursday they booking one of the few again counted the ‘water bugs’ they found in the creek near the remaining spaces in the popschool, continuing their learning about the ecology and health of our local waterways.

ReGenesis sells the farm Hans Lovejoy Rumours that ReGenesis is selling its organic farm at Myocum have been confirmed. ReGenesis Enterprises Pty Ltd, which owns and operates the 130 acre property, will make a final decision this week to declare the farm for sale, according to manager David Stratton. He says that it will be put on the market if they are unable find local farmers to lease the production. ‘There are myriad reasons why it’s being sold,’ Mr Stratton told The Echo, ‘though economies of scale made it difficult to achieve triple bottom line sustainability – these three aspects being financial, social and environmental.’ Mr Stratton says that competing with larger farms has

made the operation financially unviable. ‘We have four hectares of citrus orchids, but are competeing against other farming operations in central QLD for example that are hundreds of acres.’ Besides citrus orchids, ReGenesis grows vegetables on one hectare, and has twelve hectares of long term native rainforests that will be harvested for cabinet timbers. A wind turbine also produces electricity for around four homes a day, and until the end of April, ReGenesis collected food waste from local restaurants as part of their Green Waste Recovery Program. ‘The market garden was suspended six weeks ago, and the green waste recovery program before that,’ Mr Stratton said.

As the farm has been winding down operations for a few weeks, employees have been laid off gradually according to Mr Stratton. ‘There’s no ill feeling and staff have understood that the operation was not competitive. ‘This is a significant blow to the community’s ability to be self sustaining. Locally owned businesses such as a Santos and Fundies will have to look elsewhere for fruit and vegetables.’ Mr Stratton claims this will result in a longer distance that food travels to a point of sale. ‘A lot of diesel is used getting vegetables to this area’ Mr Stratton says, ‘which is unnecessary as we have the ability to grow organic produce right here.’

Local News Farmers’ markets good National art school director joins FEHVA panel for local economies

This year Director of the National Art School Sydney, Bernard Ollis, pictured, will be joining Wendy Sharpe and Peter Powditch in a FEHVA panel discussion on Saturday June 30 to discuss the theme Exuberance and Sensuality, the figure as the central theme. The National Art School Sydney is the oldest and possibly most prestigious fine art training academy in Aus-

tralia. An artist in his own right, since arriving in Australia from the UK at the age of 23, Ollis has held over 30 solo exhibitions. Ollis will also lead a discussion with artists Van Thanh Rudd and Scott Harrower: ‘Off the Wall and onto The Streets’. For FEHVA program and booking details visit www.fehva.com. Tickets from Barebones Artspace Bangalow on 66871 623.

Wisdom of the Elders To mark the beginning of cultural activities at Mullumbimby High School, members of the community are invited to a film night on Tuesday May 29 at 6pm. ‘Renewing Women’s Business’ will be screened at the school’s John Pearce auditorium and will also include singers, dances, food and drink. Entry is by gold coin

donation. Mullumbimby High School will then be hosting a special event called ‘The Wisdom of the Elders’ again at the John Pearce auditorium on Monday June 4. Beginning with a traditional Maori Hangi, the night will be followed by three and a half hours of cultural activities. Admission is by gold coin donation or whatever you can afford.

Canberra reptiles thrash about wildly Vol 21 #49

Way to go According to Palliative Care Australia (www.pallcare.org. au), half a million people – as patients, caregivers, family members, work colleagues or community members – will gain firsthand experience of death and dying this year as an estimated 77,000 Australians die from a terminal illness. We can be sure this will be a well talked-about experience in Byron Shire, which has a substantial ageing population. This includes the Baby Boomers who, like Ian Anderson of seminal band Jethro Tull (www.j-tull.com), are ‘too old to rock ‘n’ roll’, but not too young to die. Knowing about illness and dying and, importantly, the questions to ask about the types of specialist care and support available – palliative care – is the key to get the best care when it is needed, says PCA. The problem is that not knowing what to say and do can lead to poor access and far poorer outcomes for the patient, families, caregivers and their communities. This week, Palliative Care Australia will launch a new National Community Education Initiative to inform more Australians about what to say and do about death, dying and loss in the community and to encourage every Australian to ‘make a difference’. The theme of the National Initiative is Make a Difference‌ to someone living with terminal illness – and PCA seeks to provide answers with the release on new brochures: What can I do, What can I say?, What is palliative care?, and Asking questions can help. Palliative Care Australia is currently holding the tenth National Palliative Care 2007 (May 20-26), which seeks to raise awareness of terminal illness and good palliative care. A National Palliative Care Story Collection will include the personal experiences of people with a story to tell about their palliative care experience. Some 25 national peak organisations have agreed to become Palliative Care Australia’s communication partners, assisting with passing on details of the palliative care initiatives to their memberships and in their own communities. Ten thousand Event Resource Kits are being delivered to communities across Australia, to councils, libraries, community groups, pharmacies and RSL clubs. A national television and radio campaign will echo what PCA is trying to do at a community level. PCA President Professor Margaret O’Connor says, ‘While terminal illness and death are natural parts of life that will touch us all – in some way, at some time – it is a taboo subject for many of us. ‘The National Initiative seeks to reverse this trend by giving all Australians access to important information and education about palliative care and its benefits for all. The time has come for us as a nation to talk and share experiences with each other – about living well and dying well – in whatever form it takes.’ Byron Shire is perhaps better prepared than many areas, with organisations such as the Amitayus Hospice Service and the Natural Death Centre, but we can always learn more about what it is to die, and what it is to make the experience easier for those undergoing dying. Whether it requires 100 micrograms of LSD in the style of Aldous Huxley or a farewell glass of champagne, it is what works best for the individual which is important and in learning that we prepare well for our own deaths.

I

t is obvious that the Canberra Press Gallery doesn’t particularly like Kevin Rudd on a personal basis. Nothing wrong with that; Rudd can be devious and evasive and just as hard to pin down as Howard or any other politician. But it is puzzling that the Gallery seems determined to seize any piece of trivia which they believe will bring him down, and then insist, contrary to all the evidence, that it has in fact done so. I’m not just talking about hacks like Dennis Shanahan, who in spite of his title as The Australian’s political editor, is as rabidly partisan a polemicist as any Piers Ackerman, Andrew Bolt or Janet Albrechtsen. Veterans like Laurie Oakes and Paul Kelly are constantly guilty of the same lack of judgement, leaping on unashamed beat-ups in what turn out to be futile and embarrassing attempts to knock the gloss off Rudd. The public has proved to be not only unconvinced but has reacted the other way, to the bewilderment and fury of the pundits. There was a splendid example of this just ten days ago, when The Australian resurrected Rod Cameron, Labor’s polling guru from the Hawke-Keating days, to lambast Rudd’s industrial relations policy. It was bad politics, Cameron said, because it brought the trades unions back into the game and everybody hated the unions: ‘You can’t go back to the regulated workplace environment of a generation ago and most people don’t want to return. The majority of voters are anti-union and they don’t want the unions back in their lives.’ Actually Rudd is not pro-

since Howard’s flipflop it wasn’t really WorkChoices anymore but something still more wonderful: the red gold has been gilded and the lily painted white. Whether the punters will be fooled is yet to be seen, but it is another illustration of just how far Labor’s IR policy has put it in front. If Labor has misread the public mood so has Howard, in spades; but neither seems to think so. Some of this may have dawned on Kelly during the week, because on Saturday

Labor’s IR policy is precisely the reason people are flocking to Labor in droves. Private polling by both parties has revealed the WorkChoices name is political poison. by Mungo MacCallum thinking that people don’t want a flexible labour market and fallen into the trap of an alliance with the trade unions on IR policy.’ Hang on minute: has he read the opinion polls lately? Labor’s IR policy is precisely the reason people are flocking to Labor in droves. Private polling by both parties has revealed the WorkChoices name is political poison; voters may not be great fans of the unions, but the mere mention of WorkChoices scares them rigid. Howard realises this even if Kelly doesn’t: last week the word went out that the name is to be expunged from the vocabulary of the government and all its servants. The new term is to be ‘Workplace Relations,’ nice and neutral. The excuse for this piece of semantic acrobatics is that

he tried to claw his way back to relevance by inventing a new theory of the cosmos. There were, he explained, two competing realities at work. One was the ‘inside the beltway’ (whatever a beltway was supposed to be) reality where everything was going swimmingly for the government and the opposition was floundering. This was the world according to Kelly. But in the ‘outside the beltway’ reality the voters were deserting the coalition for Labor. ‘These two political realities are both valid,’ Kelly blustered. ‘Within the engine room of politics the Coalition is now dominant but abroad in the nation Labor has a commanding grip. The truth, however, is that only one reality will prevail. Only one version can triumph on election day 2007. Either the

logic within the beltway will take the country or the mood in the country will overwhelm the beltway’s logic.’ There is just one problem with this scenario. The two realities were not equivalent. One is grounded in actuality and involves facts, measurement and analysis. The other exists only in Paul Kelly’s head. Public opinion may indeed change, but if it does it is unlikely to be just because Paul Kelly thinks that it should. Howard certainly isn’t relying on it. Yet again Treasury has been raided for another round of advertising to tell people all about the wonderful new safety net he has placed under The Policy Formerly Known as WorkChoices, The Policy That Dare Not Speak Its Name. This, we are assured, will be strictly non-political; just the facts, no spin. Howard seems unaware that this virtuous guarantee amounts to an admission that at least some of the other $1.7 billion worth of government advertising he has inflicted on us during his interminable regime was in fact political and therefore an improper, indeed corrupt, use of taxpayers’ money. And his refusal to tell anyone just how much more the latest exercise is going to cost suggests that even it is not completely above board. Rudd took the opportunity to promise an end to the rort if he was elected: government advertising of more than $250,000 would have to be tested by an auditor. It is a worthy idea and we will watch its implementation (or not) with considerable interest. Howard, unsurprisingly, is not about to follow suit.

posing a return to the regulated workplace environment of a generation ago; he is talking about the deregulated environment post-Keating, with only slight modifications to the system which prevailed before the introduction of WorkChoices. But Kelly, instead of correcting Cameron, took his misdirection as an excuse to pontificate at his most pompous. ‘Labor is deluding itself on a huge scale,’ he thundered. ‘It has misread the public mood, created a false sense of political reality, fooled itself into

Soil loss Pollution concerns from the new highway in regards to Emigrant Creek Dam and the Ballina/Lennox water supply may not be the only problem facing local residents. Should the heavens break open as the new pathway is laid on its back, disemboweled, and its heart cut out through the red soil country, the only thing sitting in Emigrant Creek Dam will be siltation and the tragic loss of rainforest soil that once housed the richest areas of red cedar recorded anywhere in the world.

Bad Mandy Does The Echo think Mandy Nolan’s funny? Her latest vomit, on the heads of dedicated monks, (Echo, May 15) in my opinion just shows the shallow depravity of her tiny mind. It appears that just because she can’t control her biological and sexual urges (or her venomous tongue), she wants to denigrate those who, in the interests of the evolution of human consciousness, do have the strength to do so. Perhaps, Mandy, it’s time for you to shut up and listen to the wisdom of the monks, who have dedicated their entire lives to the upliftment of humanity. Jillian Watt

Palliative care National Palliative Care Week, May 20-26 – Australia wide, the need for end of life issues to be addressed is finally being recognised! At all levels of established care, there are heartbreaking stories of inadequacies, and it’s not only regarding funding issues. As a society, Australains have been unwilling, and unable to really think about, much less talk about, the best way to leave! Doctors, nurses, sometimes even religious leaders have been quite unable to be honest about imminent death. So we need to talk about it, prepare for it and help those facing the unknown last days... In Byron Shire there is a wonderful organisation known as Amitayus Hospice Service. The voluntary, trained carers offer free, compassionate, holistic support for people living with

Perils of developer discounts Sometimes a brass plaque will do! What an amazing turnaround by Mayor Jan Barham in agreeing to a nearly $1 million discount on parking contributions for a 300 bed hostel on the old Council Chambers site in Byron Bay. Apparently, Jan negotiated car parking discount off her own bat without consultation with her colleagues. It’s easy to understand why they are not happy; the community still has to fund and build the required car parking. What a gift! As the lady in the movie said about Meg Ryan’s fake orgasm: I’ll have what she’s having! Becton and Gerry Harvey will be stunned when they read about it, after their treatment by the Greens. Sadly it also continues the sorry tale of mismanaged community assets; the old Council Chambers was sold for $2.7millon, then Council slaps a heritage order on the building; now Jan gives away a further $1 million – sorry, discount – which equals a return to ratepayers of $1.7 million. With the old Council chambers site now worth $7/8 million it confirms the stupidity of selling the site in the first place. I ask Jan: what’s the difference between surrendering development entitlement

because of building heritage laws and surrendering prime zoned real estate because of vegetation or wetlands conservation legislation? Absolutely none, I would suggest. Local developer Mr Eric Freeman gifted to Council 32 hectares of land at Suffolk Park in the 90s so his McGregor Street development could go ahead. Mr Freeman received no million dollar discount from Council on his development contributions in return for his voluntary surrender of prime beachfront land. In February this year, Council swapped Freeman’s gifted land with the NSW Lands Department; the Suffolk Park land to be added to the Arakwal National Park. Apparently, part of Eric’s former land was significant to the Bundjalung community; in exchange Byron Council received land from the NSW Lands Department on the Sandhills Estate next to the courthouse for the proposed new library site. The Bundjalung community has a current land claim over the balance of vacant Crown land at the Sandhills site and Watego’s Beach. Maybe, given Mr Freeman’s generous land donation to Council which has resulted in the community receiving the prime library

location from the NSW Lands Department, we should consider naming the new library ‘The Freeman Memorial Library’! A simple brass plaque is cheaper than a millon dollar discount on car parking, Jan. But let’s not worry about developers who can well look after their own interests. Instead, what about all the schools, the sporting clubs and other voluntary groups in the Shire when they want to develop? What about the Orthodox Home or the Feros Village looking after the old people? Shouldn’t they also get a discount on contributions, particularly when they are raising funds from raffles and donations? Aren’t the volunteers in our community just as deserving? You get the point. Where do the special discounts start and where do they end? If there is a special queue for one-off discounts on developer’s contributions, it’s going to run out the door and right down the main street of Mullumbimby and the Mayor will be very busy negotiating late every night. Bad call, Jan. Somehow, I don’t think negotiating with developers is your forte. Stick to saving trees.

life threatening illness who choose to stay at home among family and friends. The group was formed in 1994/5 to fill a perceived gap in the care available for terminally ill people to assist them and their families and friends. The support is available for people of all belief systems on a non-denominational and non-descriminatory basis, and helps people to maintain control during the last stages of their lives. The volunteers work closely with medical practitioners, community and palliative care nurses and other community services. They have all graduated from the Amitayus Carers’ Training Course and provide a wide range of services, including nursing care, counselling, massage, respite care and companionship. Amitayus is reliant on donation and community funding, is a not for profit organisation. If you wish to know more about Amitayus, either to find out more about our services, or our next training course, we can be contacted by phone on 6684 3808, email amitayus@mullum. com.au, or post PO Box 696, Mullumbimby 2482.

opment by the Splendour in the Grass Festival, the integrity of this corridor would be destroyed. The corridor would be completely bisected by the large scale human traffic across it from one side to the other. Animals such as koalas, various wallabies and others – possibly already noisetraumatised – would not be able to traverse the corridor as they would run up against the barriers imposed by the traffic of thousands of people. The Marshalls Ridge wildlife corridor, although reduced in parts by the previous landowner, has now been strengthened by the RTA via its ‘compensatory habitat’ package. These additional lands are now in the ownership of DEC(NPWS). It may interest readers to know that all forest blocks within and adjacent to the event footprint are mapped as high conservation value vegetation under Byron Shire Council Biodiversity Conservation Strategy (2004). Byron Shire Council threatened fauna habitat modelling (BSC 2004) covers almost all forest vegetation within the event footprint. Similarly all forest vegetation within the event footprint is mapped as koala habitat (2004), with the drier floodplain forest and forest red gum dominated forests of the central and eastern portions of Property 2A mapped at the highest quality habitat for koalas. Byron Shire Council wildlife corridor mapping (BSC 2004) incorporates all forested areas of the site, as well as intervening pasture areas. For further information and more updates go to the Byron Environment Centre website at www.byronenvironmentcentre.asn.au. Mark Parratt

that BEC, CONOS and BEACON are finally voicing their opposition to the Splendour In The Grass development at North Ocean Shores, despite the Byron Shires Parklands website openly saying that they have CONOS’s support. For the past three months OSCA, the Yelgun Progress Assoc., Ocean Shores Tidy Town Committee and the Greater Ocean Shores communities have been bringing people’s attention to the threat to endangered species and environmentally sensitive tracts of land throughout this 660 acre site, the impact on the Billinudgel Nature Reserve, the social impacts on nearby communities and the lack of infrastructure proposed for such a large scale development. The forum on June 4 is a good way to consult with the wider community, and after an extensive tour of this site with other environmental and community groups, I can honestly say I’m impressed by Brendon Saul’s sense of integrity and passion to provide an eco-friendly, environmentally sustainable development. The Splendour crew have purchased a degraded holding and they will have a lot of work still to do on noise impact, flooding issues, environmental and social issues and infrastructure to convince the community that they are proactive with social and environmental protection and rehabilitation as they declare. However, I would recommend that all concerned residents take up the offer of a guided tour to see first hand what is being proposed. Only then can you make an informed decision.

Arroooh! Dog lovers bite back

■ The ‘dogs on beaches’ letters page (May 15) was a truly depressing outpouring. Whatever happened to laid back, easy-going, live-andlet-live Byron Shire? This push for greater bureaucratisation of everyday life seems at odds with what attracted most people to this area in the first place. The proliferation of signs in every public space with red crosses denoting the banning of just about every activity likely to be pursued in that space is surely more Tina Petroff worrisome than a happy Ocean Shores puppy dog frolicking on a beach.

■ I am writing to complain as no doubt hundreds of others have done about the ridiculous restrictions on dogs at Brunswick Beach. My main question is why? What difference does 400m or 4km make? It is a quiet beach at the best of times and the area past the surf club extremely so. The vast majority of dog owners keep our dogs away from the busy flagged areas, pick up their droppings and keep them out of the sand dunes. So why is it necessary to allocate one tiny area of beach? Dogs need to run and have a decent length walk. So do people for that matter and 400m is not far enough. Obesity levels are rising in children by approximately 1% per annum, predicted to rise to 50% of all children by

2025 (Zehle, K & Orr, N, 2007) We are constantly told to exercise more, spend more time with your family etc. For many of us the beach allows us to do this and is the only safe place you can walk your dog.They aren’t allowed in parks, farmers don’t want you in their paddocks so we have to walk the roads, is the council going to provide walking paths along all the roads instead? Why is it I can ride my horse along the beach (Thank God for NHAG) but not walk the dog? If you had a public referendum I’m sure most would support unrestricted dog walking south of the surf club for the simple reason that there is no good reason not to. Hey, let’s have one!

Letters nationaled with a bloody great box on the front! What is that supposed to do for streetscape? Meanwhile up at the beachfront opposite the surf club is not only surely one of the world’s slowest construction sites but what must be the dullest, most unimaginative way to pile up so many millions of dollars one on top of another. It has been a very long time since the Beach Hotel was built, and I think we have been dudded time after time. Exciting, challenging architecture does not have to be expensive, it just needs more thought and imagination, and no, I don’t mean more ‘wave-forms’! The town is littered with dull, uninspiring buildings – take Seadrift on Browning Street, straight from the generic suburbia file; and with Mooney Mansions going up (and down) soon,

don’t hold your breath for any iconic design statements there either. If we are the community that is so ‘creative, thinking, artistic etc‌’ why are they building for lowest common denominator bland dullsville? Surely we, and future generations, deserve better than this! Nick Buckley

Good blokes I would like to use the pages of this newspaper to publicly thank a couple of good blokes. These blokes came to the rescue of a valuable community initiative without any fanfare or asking for anything in return. Their generosity and community spirit ensured that our initiative did not go to the wall. They rallied others in this community together, they threw a big party before last

Christmas and gave us the money they made to keep our initiative going. Who are these blokes? They are Ralph and Mark from Fishheads in Byron Bay. Thanks, guys. The money you raised kept Street Cruise on the streets each Friday night since Christmas. This makes our town a safer town for everyone to enjoy. I looked at the finance books today and their money has just run out. Luckily, Byron Shire Council has just come to the party with a grant from the state government to keep the Street Cruise ship afloat through to next Christmas. I thank the Council and especially our Mayor Jan Barham who has been a stalwart supporter of this project. Street Cruise is a wonderful example of how community, business and the different levels of government can work together to enable good things to hap-

pen in a our town. I hope Byron Council and the state government can now work together so that Ralph and Mark from Fishheads can keep doing what they do well. A couple of good blokes running a great restaurant for the benefit of themselves, their staff and their community. If these guys are forced out of their restaurant this community will be the worse off. Paul Spooner

Consider nuclear There are three main reasons that people oppose nuclear energy: • concern that the uranium will be turned into bombs; • concern for radiation leaks from spent fuel rods in storage; and • concerns about radiation leaks from nuclear plants.

Afraid of nuclear proliferation? The solution is for Australia to lease the fuel rods to the countries and then take back the used ones. The uranium would be processed into fuel rods in the safest American nuclear plants then leased to someone like China, India or Vietnam. Australia then takes back the spent fuel and stores it in central Australia, which is the geologically safest place in the world to store this stuff. It’s possible to place satellite tracking devices in the rods so we know where they are at all times. Countries wouldn’t dare keep any of the fuel rods because if they did Australia wouldn’t lease them any more and they’d be stuck without electricity. People who are truly serious about preventing their fellow humans from being exposed to radiation from spent fuel rods should be

campaigning to create the world’s safest permanent storage location in central Australia so we can decommission the less safe temporary storage locations around the world. I’d rather Australia looked after the long term storage than someone like India or Vietnam. There are currently 435 nuclear power reactors in the world producing 17% of the world’s electricity. Chernobyl has been the only serious accident and that was because it was a very old fashioned Soviet design and the plant wasn’t properly maintained. While Australia doesn’t need to build nuclear power plants to reduce its carbon emissions there are many countries that aren’t so lucky. Australia can make significant reductions by merely being more energy efficient, but for countries like China and India any reductions due continued overleaf

to efficiency will be swamped by the growth in demand for energy. A large percentage of their population doesn’t even have electricity yet, and as they rise out of poverty their energy needs will double and quadruple in the next few decades. How are they to generate this extra electricity? People who oppose nuclear energy must provide a credible solution to this problem. Could solar and wind generation reliably produce four times as much electricity as China currently uses? I don’t think so. What is the alternative? Coal? In our current climate is coal any safer than uranium? I don’t think so. We know that carbon from coal fired power stations will increase the temperature, raise the sea levels, and cause millions of deaths from disease, starvation, and wars over scarce water and arable land. Given the global warming situation I believe that nuclear power has become a necessity for many countries and we should now be working out how to make it as safe

Just how lightly can we live?

■ Echo-less in Uki, at the plough with monks. I think that captures the flavour of Geoff Dawe’s recipe for living lightly (Letters, May 15). No technology beyond the loom and the wooden plough; definitely no cars or electricity.That means no Echo – and no letters, Geoff. I suspect The Echo’s own correspondent, Horatio Bitemark, and the other eccentric chaps at the Myocum Clubhouse enjoy the odd Galvanic jolt when invention flags in the small hours. Yes, we need to live much more lightly on this planet if we are to go on living here, but I doubt it will mean a reversion to an illusory, agrarian idyll. I asked the kids and they said yeah, cool, they’d like to come check it out but can they bring their mobiles, iPods, DVDs and computers and their pre-mixeds and ciggies and the guys’ll come in their hot Fords – for the conjugal comfort of the back seats as much as for the smoke and noise. The simple vision has little appeal, least to the young. Helena Norberg-Hodge continued on page 20

was with Satish Kumar at his Bangalow talk last Thursday night. I understand both live in lovely, temperate Devon and wondered how they’d got here until I recalled a comment in Simon Hosking’s letter of two weeks ago about ‘clean resonant technology… travel from Mullumbimby to Paris under one hour… no emissions’. Sounds like TransLove Airways founded by trippy folkie Donovan back in 1967. Although, sadly, TransLove was ‘grounded’ before really taking off when disappointed hippies demanded refunds on their ‘tickets’. After ‘landing’ they found themselves in the same brown bean bags in the same dingy London they were supposed to have left 12 hours earlier for San Francisco or Marrakech. Donovan’s ‘Fill the bags with lentils, man’ didn’t work. Richard Branson’s more conventional approach did.Those who eulogise rural utopias rarely plough real fields and those who recommend spiritual flight actually board real planes. We are probably destined to go on being ourselves

growing and consuming, spellbound by our capacity to manipulate nature to suit our needs and our whims. Sooner or later we will hit the wall and a different species of Homo will emerge on the other side. My grief and sympathy lies with the innocent creatures caught in our reckless whirlwind and who will not make it. Adrian Gattenhof

Mullumbimby ■ Having an interest in Tesla and the suppressed physics which he pioneered, I am fairly used to being boxed into the naive utopianism package, and enjoyed Adrian Gattenhof’s image (Letters, May 8) of the lion laying down with the lamb. Touché, old boy. While I am not squeamish about certain hardline political realities, my frustrations lie with the concept of democracy only being valid when voters are exposed to every alternative. As is Adrian, it seems. Voting on issues as important as global warming, tackling questions such as how we will power

our world into the future cannot be democratic under the present system because not every alternative is being placed on the table; therefore people are only voting within the confines of an economic model which does nothing to challenge the entrenched power base of capitalist smash and grab techniques. I’ll call that benign fascism, at least we can feel like we actually have some say. Now let’s get down to the nuts and bolts of energy and corporations. Google ‘energy wars’ and scroll down until you find information about the epic battle between Tesla and Edison as they vied for Wall Street funds (primarily J P Morgan’s) to back their respective companies. Edison was pushing a DC system, which had not previously been picked up because of the many limitations involved with shipping raw current into people’s homes. Tesla was pushing his AC system, of which he was the sole inventor, solving the problem of shifting current over large distances, becoming the boon for industry which

would see vast networks of wire bringing power into everyone’s home. Tesla won and the very system we use today to power our homes has not evolved one inch since 1900. Edison was broken and sent to obscurity, Tesla became a very rich man and the darling of Wall Street. Now it gets interesting, Adrian... your homework for this week is to find out why the fortunes of both Tesla and Edison should so dramatically switch that Edison is now a household name when his contribution to modern power techniques verges on zilch and Tesla remains an obscurity, his science relegated to the realm of eco-hippy thinking even though it is due to his efforts alone that you can switch on a light in your house. When you have done this, we will be on a slightly more equal field to discuss hardline politics, perhaps over a coffee and a game of chess, that would be fun. Watch out, though, I might bring my guitar. Simon Hosking

Hep C wake-up call

The Brunswick Heads chapter of the University of the Third Age (U3A) found itself packed to the rafters last Wednesday when filmmaker David Bradbury showed excerpts from his documentary A Hard Rain and other footage including a short film about the decimation of sections of pristine Australia. The U3A hall had a record turnout and many of the members were appreciative of the chance to hear an alternative view – most shocked to find out that almost 30,000 American and Australian defence force troops will descend on Shoalwater Bay next month to

blast apart a section of our precious coastline in the Talisman Sabre war ‘games’. See more at www.peaceconvergence.com. In true country fashion, in lieu of the bottle of wine accidentally left on someone’s kitchen counter, David was presented with a dozen eggs. Mr Bradbury is currently in search of locals who want to participate in non-violent protests at Shoalwater Bay. A planning session will be held this Thursday at 7pm at Gareth Smith’s house, 14 Cumbebin Street, Byron Bay. Call 6685 8410 for more details. Says Bradbury: ‘Welcome

to the Talisman Sabre travelling roadshow. For the next l7 years we will have to endure it all. Brought to a circus tent near you, just up the road at pristine Shoalwater Bay, near Rockhampton. Within winddrift of Byron from the heavy carcinogenic metals they use in conventional bombs even if they’re not using, as they say they won’t, depleted uranium munitions. ‘Just far enough out of sight and behind locked military gates so as not to upset the sensitivity of city based folks in the heavily populated southern ’burbs who might object to the most pristine

parts of their country being used for target practice by our good American allies. ‘Whatever it takes, please take that all important first step towards non violent active opposition to the Talisman Sabre wargames that Mr Howard and Mr Bush are getting away with until we tell them “No more!� ‘We don’t want to be involved in your desecration of this our sacred, ancient land. ‘We don’t want to be responsible for training our young men and women to be better killers to terrorise ordinary citizens living in a daily hell called Iraq.’

Local government leads on climate change Local councils across NSW will commit to ‘meeting or beating’ Kyoto targets as part of a climate change agreement. The Local Government and Shires Associations of NSW established the NSW Mayor’s Agreement on Climate Change following a motion by Waverley Council,

passed unanimously a last year’s Local Government Association Conference. By signing the agreement councils will agree to ‘meet or beat’ greenhouse reduction targets assigned to Australia by the Kyoto Protocol, by pursuing ambitious targets of up to 30% in their operations

Proposed Farmers’ Market in North Byron Shire. Local farmers interested in participating in a weekly Farmers’ Market (Monday or Tuesday) located in the northern area of Byron Shire can show an expression of interest by contacting Nino MacDonald on 6684 5390. It is proposed that a non-profit incorporated association be set up to run the market with all interesteed producers joining the association to allow them to trade at the market. The Association aims to encourage the growing and consumption of local food within Byron Shire and surrounding areas. This community advertisement funded by Santos Health Foods

and activities. They will also agree to urge state and federal governments to follow local government’s lead. ‘Climate change is arguably the most critical issue facing communities – and local government is leading the charge to tackle the problem,’ President of the Local Gov-

ernment association of NSW, Cr Genia McCaffery, said. ‘Councils have been increasingly aware of the potential for local council-led actions on climate change, given the Australian Government’s reluctance to commit to the moderate targets specified in the Kyoto Protocol.’

‘We need to address this issue in an evidence-based way, and continue to research and introduce new and better ways of reducing transmissions. Targeted education delivered before people start injecting, and greater availability of the means to prevent blood-toblood contact among people who inject drugs are essential first steps to take,’ Mr Loveday said. A blood-borne virus, hepatitis C causes very serious, life threatening liver damage. ‘Fortunately, for most people with hepatitis C, the condition is manageable and non-life threatening. Symptoms can be extremely debilitating however, but fortunately there is treatment available that provides a good chance of cure,’ said Stuart Loveday.

The Hepatitis C Council of NSW has welcomed the NSW Health Minister’s funding announcement and the release of the state’s second strategy to address hepatitis C, one of Australia’s fastest growing and most frequently reported notifiable communicable diseases. With more than 100,000 reported cases in NSW and over 225,000 Australia-wide, hepatitis C represents a major threat to personal and public health, and comes at a huge cost to the health system. There are estimated to be 10,000 new transmissions of this bloodborne virus in Australia each year, with almost half of those in NSW. Stuart Loveday, executive officer of the Hepatitis C Council of NSW, welcomed the announcement of additional funding by health minister Reba Meagher. ‘Greater investment by government in this key area makes sound public health and economic sense. This NSW strategy is a wake-up call for health administrators and for the community as a whole,’ said Mr Loveday. ‘But now our greatest challenge is finding better ways to stem the flood of new transmissions occurring when people inject illicit drugs.’ A recent study showed that parts of Sydney have one of the highest rates of hepatitis C transmission in the world among people new to injecting.

Articles Lou Beaumont reports on Satish Kumar’s visit to Byron Shire

Let us be joyful and sustainable If Satish Kumar could outlaw two things, they would be waste and speed. Once a Jain monk, he envisages a world that works less, plays more (especially in nature) and lives richer in spirit. An eco-visionary and spiritual activist, Kumar has lived a long life by the teachings of Mahatma Gandhi and E F Schumacher principally. Recently Kumar was a guest of Byron Shire and was here to offer us an up-to-date paradigm for a world that lacks a connection to the nature that sustains it and is full of people who simultaneously seek personal direction and a place within society. On a planet that is hurting and in an international community governed by globalisation, Kumar is a breath of soulful air. He spoke on ‘Soul, Soil and Society; The Power of Reverential Ecology’ in Bangalow on May 10 and it felt somewhat as though he was preaching to the converted. At least his words were absorbed and appreciated, receiving a standing ovation from the 200 strong crowd at the A&I Hall. Satish Kumar began, ‘You are here because you are looking for an increasingly sustainable, spiritually fulfilling, socially just and locally based way of life, and that gives me optimism. ‘Pessimism is so fashionable these days. People say,

“Oh what can we do? We’ve reached the point of no return!� My response is that we are not at the point of no return but rather the point of return! You don’t reach a brick wall and begin to bang your head against it – you turn around for a more sane, more wise, more do-able and more beautiful way of life. All pessimism does is breed disempowerment. It’s depressing. All human ingenuity and creativity is discarded. ‘With optimism, you just do your best. Starting with your own life you can begin to see the change you want to see in the world.’ A philosophy conceived by Gandhi. ‘There is greater integrity in words backed up by actions, so by walking your talk you begin to lead by positive example.’

Outdated paradigms

While Satish Kumar believes paradigms can be useful tools for people to hang their actions on, he suggests that most are not all encompassing and are outdated. Kumar suggests that the Christian faith’s ‘Father, Son, Holy Spirit’, for example, is purely religious and has male bias; the motto for the French Republic, ‘LibertĂŠ, ÉgalitĂŠ, FraternitÊ’ (freedom, equality, brotherhood) is an improvement but is too society oriented. A more current trinity ‘Mind, Body, Spirit’ stretched glo ÂœĂŠĂžÂœĂ•ĂŠÂ˜ii`ĂŠĂŒÂœ bally but is focused solely on the self, and our personal development. ‘“Soul, Soil and Societyâ€? !

the true spirit of Mahatma Gandhi, we must turn local. He believed to be locally sufficient was to be truly democratic, with spirituality and culture on a local scale.’ Gandhi coined the Hindi phrase ‘Swadeshi’ or ‘it is my country’s product’ or as Kumar puts it, ‘home grown’. Ela Gandhi writes, ‘Gandhi came up with the idea of Swadeshi which encourages local products through a principled buying of that which is produced by hand and locally, even if it is not the best.’ Local economy, national and communal spirit, encouraging people to help each other and building on local resources and skills all uphold the principle of Swadeshi.

When we see we are part of this magical web of life we begin to see we are not here to conquer and dominate it. Our very happiness depends on nature.’ Kumar believes that even with a PhD, a person who can’t compost is uneducated; ‘Without the soil our bodies would not exist, it’s that simple. Long live the worm! ‘My environmentalism is not driven by fear like so much of our society, but driven by the love of my friends, the love of children and my love of the earth. If globalism collapses I will dance in the streets. I am only interested in serving our earth, not saving this socalled civilisation.’

Do less, be more Kumar believes we are far too occupied to nurture our souls: ‘We are all too busy making money and destroying the earth. The more you work, the more fuels you need to operate yourself and the business. We are always working and rarely painting, dancing, walking, meditating or practising yoga. We need to do less and be more. We are not human havings, we are human beings.’ Kumar calls for us to begin to look after ourselves, and each other. He believes parttime work is the only way to ensure there is enough time in life for the nurturing of the earth, the self and society. ‘Half the world’s population goes to bed hungry and the other half is afflicted with obesity. Our current system

is unfair and unsustainable. ‘In order to live sustainably we have to learn to lower our living standards. An increase in economic growth may increase our living standards by default, but what of our quality of life? If everyone in the world tried to live like an Australian, British or American we would need six planets to sustain us. We only have one planet and it must be shared. ‘Currently we treat our planet like a mine. We take and take. We seem to forget that our ecology is the bigger picture with economy just a subtext of ecology. Economy has its place as we must know how to manage our home, but first we must know and love our home, the essence of ecology.

Local culture ‘So how can we best manage our home? Schumacher’s decentralised vision of expanding local products and culture, food and clothing would allow everyone a sense of belonging and with that, every locality, whether it’s a country town or a nation, would be nurtured and loved.’ Confusion arises when people think focus on local issues and concern for the dynamics of the global community are mutually exclusive. In fact, they are one and the same, as Kumar explains, ‘To love the world is to love your local community’. He continues, ‘Globalisation has been exposed as the cause of global warming. In

Describing this concept ecologist and activist Vandana Shiva says, ‘Economic freedom according to Swadeshi is based on endogenously driven development rather than externally controlled development. Swadeshi for Gandhi was a positive concept based on building what a community has in terms of resources, skills, institutions and transforming them, where they were inadequate. ‘Imposed resources, institutions and structures leave a people unfree and are non sustainable. Swadeshi for Gandhi was central to the creation of peace, freedom and sustainable development. Swadeshi is based on people’s economies and their ability to organise themselves. Swadeshi or self-organisation in economic affairs is the basis of economic freedom, and without economic freedom, there can be no political freedom, or self-governance and self-rule.’ Kumar says change needs to come from the bottom up. As individuals it is time to let our egos go and work

together. He says, ‘Social justice groups, decentralists, environmental groups, organic movements and seed savers, among others, are all part of the same bigger picture. They must all work together and support each other. ‘“Soul, Soil and Society� could be a new world view. The industrial, consumerist, wasteful, depersonalised, progress oriented society we live in today was created by us only a few hundred years ago. We created it, and we can change it. We have enough creativity and ingenuity and resources to change to a better system. We can make the “isms�, like capitalism, “wasms�. ‘If you want to go faster, go alone. If you want to go further, go together. Gandhi produced such a big movement for the better because there was enough urgency for people to come together and unite. We must now walk our talk and live with elegant simplicity in our lives. ‘Let us be joyful and sustainable and not wasteful. It is my belief that with action and optimism we can make the changes that are necessary.’ It was with these words that the crowd stood united in applause. ■Satish Kumar is the founder of the Schumacher College in England, an international college for ecological studies and holistic education. He is also the editor of Resurgence Magazine which specialises in ecology, art and culture.

Cancer Support Group tea On Wednesday May 16, the Byron Bay Breast Cancer Support Group hosted its first Biggest Morning Tea in the form of the Biggest Arvo Juice at the Senior Citizens Hall in Byron Bay. Mayor Jan Barham and members of the Senior Citizens Club and members of the public were served fresh fruit and vegie juices by members of the BBBCSG. Proceeds of the day go to the Cancer Council and the event was in keeping with Cancer Council research which shows that having two fruit and

three vegies each day can significantly reduce your chances of developing cancer. Other local activities the BBBCSG is involved in are Dragons Abreast (dragon boat paddling for those who have had breast cancer), the Encore Program which is a free exercise program for those who have had breast cancer surgery and later this year a free meditation course will be held for survivors of the disease.

Articles Michele Grant talks to the army of workers on the sometimes dangerous job of making a highway

Can’t stop when the concrete starts flowing The finishing touches are being applied to the $265 million Brunswick Heads to Yelgun Pacific Highway upgrade. Concrete paving and snaking tarmac is spreading rapidly between the new bridges at Brunswick and Billinudgel and the sprawling Yelgun interchange. The final 110th pylon has been pounded into the Marshall’s Creek floodplain and the last massive retaining wall was erected, demolished and rebuilt over Easter at Heartbreak Hill. Now as the guardrails and new signage is installed, Abigroup’s road workers are packing up and moving on. The RTA expects the new 8.7km dual carriageway to be operating by the end of July but the official opening date is yet to be announced. The highway reconstruction project has brought many tangible benefits. Over the past two years, road contractor Abigroup has employed hundreds of specialist sub-contractors with over 2100 people working on various stages of the project, pumping millions of dollars into the local economy.

Downside There’s also been a downside. For many residents who battled the RTA over route selection and design specifications, it’s been heartbreaking to bear witness to the environmental devastation. The initial shock and awe of the Abigroup invasion was replaced with stoic resignation during the occupation. The looming spectre of global warming and peak oil has overshadowed the undeniable need for a safe dual carriage highway and there remains an uncomfortable ambivalence towards the project and the public money

squandered so recklessly. The project may be mired in ideological angst, but the engineering achievements of the RTA are now boldly emblazoned on the realigned landscape. It would be churlish and ungracious to not acknowledge and pay tribute to Abigroup’s small army of workers who laboured to build this contentious piece of infrastructure.

Man’s world Hundreds of roadworkers have been dwelling among us over the past two years, coexisting in a parallel universe. It’s a man’s world. Virtually all the road workers are men, women work on the management teams. Many road workers are employed on individual contracts and work for specialist contractors on specific tasks. The men work in small highly skilled teams, often competing with each other to meet deadlines and performance targets. They work ten hour days, five days a week and eight hours on Saturday, plus overtime, regularly putting in up to 72 hours a week. Some share households, living far away from family and friends. The general rate for labourers is $19$25 hour, with penalty rates for overtime and weekends, plus the occasional bonus. For 20 yr old Rob* from Wollongong, the best part of the job is working with a great team. ‘Everyone helps each other out and there’s cooperation… No-one whinges or complains, the guys like cracking jokes.’ Friendly rivalry and graffiti is also used to motivate and maintain morale. ‘Guys draw some real funny stuff in the wet concrete.’ Working on the Brunswick River bridge, Rob’s most

memorable moment was completing four sections of the bridge in a single week, using the huge blue steel framework, called Modular Form Travellers (MFT). The North side team claimed a world record and the boss put $1000 down on the bar at the Brunswick Pub. ‘We let those slackers on the south side come to the party,’ added Rob proudly.

Heartbreak Hill Down the road, work on the sheer vertical cuttings at Gate 9 just north of Brunswick Bridge was so tough and dangerous, workers printed T Shirts ‘I survived Heartbreak Hill’. ‘Wet, mud and slush’ was Don’s* description. ‘Working on a narrow ledge with no room to move.’ The formworkers constructing the 16m-18m retaining walls had to avoid big scrapers, dozers and moxis – huge yellow 30 tonne tip trucks – clipping their heels every few minutes as they passed.

That’s why at ABC Learning Centres we are proud to offer:

‘A moxi ran right over one of those bloody big compressors, completely flattened it,’ said Adrian*, shaking his head in disbelief. ‘The driver reckons he didn’t see it.’ Working on the steel cages that formed the retaining walls was another incredibly dangerous activity. ‘Climbing over the cages was like walking on razor blades. The sharp ends mutilate your boots and clothes,’ said Adrian. who spent six months on the walls. ‘Tying them off was a shit job, you get so cut up.’ Adrian in his mid 30s lifted his shirt to reveal faint scars across his torso where he was ‘scratched not slashed’ and several nicks on his hands and arms. He clearly felt the dangers to life and limb far outweighed any financial benefits and copped flak from the mates for his wimpish attitude. They all agreed there was neither the time, nor money, nor much point to capping all the sharp ends to avoid lethal cuts.

Safety issues Abigroup supplied free bottled water from the canteen and portaloos were strategically placed around the work sites. Any workers caught urinating anywhere but the toilets received on the spot fines. The men were critical of OH&S and compo arrangements. ‘It’s all about protecting the RTA and Abi from any liability. It’s not about the safety of individual workers,’ said Adrian. There was scathing criticism of the JSA cards they’re forced to sign. Job Safety Assessment cards list the potential dangers workers are likely to face on the job – like getting run over by a truck. ‘So if a truck runs you down it becomes your fault,

you’re liable, cos you were warned,’ explained Adrian. Management hopes the JSA cards will reign in the cowboys and stop unnecessary risk taking. Safety is a big issue on the site and the RTA employed roving safety officers to patrol the workplace and has achieved an excellent safety record. Amid all the tales of near misses and potential long term damage, I heard of only one serious injury: ‘a traffic controller got caught up in a passing semi trailer.’ In the event of serious injury the roadworkers are realists. ‘They’ll just pension us off and leave us to rot,’ said Don.

You take the risks The guys don’t reckon they’re been exploited or pushed too hard, and seem willing to shrug off the risks. ‘Look, if you don’t get the job finished you can hold up the whole project, yah got hundreds of guys and expensive machinery hanging around,’ explained Don. ‘When that bloody concrete starts flowing you can’t stop, you just gotta stay till the job’s done,’ added Adrian. Each stage of the project is stringently tested by RTA supervisors to ensure the work complies with strict specification requirements. ‘One section of road at the bottom of the hill kept failing the compaction test,’ said Adrian. ‘They ripped it up and relaid it more than a dozen times, poor bastards.’ The men were very aware of the costs and complexities of road building timetables. ‘It’s a tradeoff – you can do things differently but it will cost more and maybe take an extra year to build,’ said Don. ‘Those extra things we did

to keep those greenies happy added a few mill to the bill,’ Pete added provocatively. Grudgingly the men conceded the mitigation ponds used to catch the runoff and stop silt getting into the waterways was a good idea. Pete was quick to blame the the Environment Protection Authority for the problems following the big flood in July 2005. ‘The guys went in to fix the silt fences and pump out the ponds and the bloody EPA arrived and shut down the site. No one was allowed back for three days… Everything was stuffed and we got blamed.’ The roadworkers were keen to wrestle with the issues and conflicting ideologies and resent criticism of their work choices. The project simply offered too great an opportunity to miss and pragmatism prevailed. ‘Someone had to build it’ or ‘It was gunna happen either way’ was a fairly universal defense.

Personal toll The roadworkers agree the six day week has been tough, and the deadlines and overtime fairly brutal. The job takes a serious toll on family life. ‘By the time you get home, you’re stuffed, yah working next to a noisy generator all day and yah heads pounding… You just wanna sit back, have a beer and a feed, and just relax… The last bloody thing yah need is a woman yapping in yah ear and the kids hassling,’ said Don, who divorced 9 years ago. The job seems more suited to the young and single, the divorced and those with grownup children. The men are personally very proud of their work and their contribution to the Pacific Highway upgrade. ‘You feel pretty good when you drive pass and see what yah done,’ said Jesse. ‘Our bridge will still be there long after we’re dead,’ said Rob, who hopes his yet to be born children and grandchildren will one day come and proudly admire his work. Don had the last word, ‘Even if we do run out of oil, it’s gunna be a bloody great road to ride yah bike on.’ * The names of the workers have been changed to protect future work prospects. All currently live in Ocean Shores and all have finished working on the highway project. The young bridge workers are relocating to Brisbane in the coming weeks, the other guys have started new jobs in the area.

Ă€ÂœÂŽiÂ˜ĂŠ i>`ĂŠ+Ă•>ÀÀÞÊ >Ă€ĂŒÂ…ĂœÂœĂ€ÂŽĂƒ ‘What’s in it for me? – good question! I love working with people. Three out of five shows are easy and straightforward.You get a buzz out of the technical side going well, and from the pleased smiles on people’s faces. The rest of the shows can be tough in one way or another, but I enjoy working with the people to solve the problems.’ Reflecting on people in the performance world, Jim said, ‘The professionals are great: they know! I’d say the biggest challenge is working with people who know what they want, but aren’t sure on how to do it. Making it happen successfully for them is the biggest thrill. It’s that stimulus which keeps you learning, and often helps others in a learning process. ‘I’ve always been interested in theatre. At school I acted in G&S plays. Later I got involved in teaching drama. Nobody around me then knew how to do the lights, and all the rest – so I got involved. ‘My way was to have students doing everything

needed to produce a show; all the backup roles as well as the actors on stage were opportunities for learning. So when BCCC wanted someone to look after the lights side of their theatre, I fitted right in. ‘A principle I use in this job is that I work together with everybody else who has a part in the whole scene. I want to understand and allow for what the maintenance people need, for the cleaners, for the booking office, for what the management is aiming at. The results are produced by all of us together. No-one can do it alone, and if we all take account of other’s needs, then the result is great – and produced in harmony.’ BCCC’s venue manager Greg Aitken said, ‘Having Jim as a volunteer has meant that we have been able to keep technical costs down. I don’t know an equivalent venue in Australia that presents the amount of work that we do, at such reasonable rates – without funding! ‘It’s tough when the venue

receives no funding for operational costs. We provide theatre hire for performances, spaces for meetings plus welfare and information services. All services are supported by volunteers – they’re a committed crew of people like Jim Higgins. ‘Jim and I produced a booklet for the future running of the theatre. And we have put together a new technical crew of five people who specialise in lighting or sound. Jim Higgins’s two years at the Centre have allowed Byron’s community groups to receive professional technical service at low or no cost. That’s the legacy Jim leaves us.’

the festival for thinkers

‘If you live in a community, then, I believe, you should be contributing to that community in some way,’ says Jim Higgins, who is moving on for family reasons from being a volunteer at the Byron Community and Cultural Centre’s (BCCC) theatre. Jim has spent two years doing the props and lighting for the BCCC shows in the theatre and enjoyed it all. ‘Some shows are good fun to work with. Some present challenges – and I love to respond to a challenge. Keeps you very much alive!’ Volunteers work at things they want to do. Maybe that ‘want’ is like Jim’s where he already had special skills and enjoyed using them. So here was an opportunity for him to do what he liked. Others might think of that ‘want’ as filling a gap in a community, and get satisfaction from learning how to meet that particular need. People’s reasons for doing volunteer work can be as varied as the people themselves, but the generic satisfactions are a feeling of doing something needed, and increased selfrespect, often translated into respect received from people in the group. When Jim was growing up on the land in NSW backblocks, that notion of put in before you take out was a great deal stronger than it is today. Communities need input like people need food, and it’s people like Jim who make communities real. Plus, there’s a difference between Jim and a lot of others who bignote themselves. Jim’s outlook is not about kudos, or ‘recognition’ or big-noting; it’s about getting the job done, and well done. ‘I feel best when someone I’ve worked with can take over the job and do it alone. That’s spread my skills into others in the community and the benefit goes to the group of people I live amongst.

Surviving the highest mountain – unexpectedly Dead Lucky – Life after death on Mt Everest (Random House Australia) by Lincoln Hall Reviewed by Howard Whelan

Everest is a graveyard littered with the bodies of friends. Beautiful Marty Hoey rests at the bottom of the North Face; Narayan Shresta, the joker, on the West Ridge. Rob Hall lies beneath the summit slopes and so it goes. Known by the Tibetans as Chomolungma, Mother Goddess of the Earth, the Earth’s highest mountain can be a demanding mistress. So last May when I picked up the phone in our

Mullumbimby home to hear, ‘Mate, I have some dreadful news – Lincoln’s dead’, you’d think I’d be used to it, but the floor still dropped from beneath me. I’d shared an Everest expedition with Lincoln Hall in 1984 and came away with an impression of a self-contained man with an acerbic wit and penchant for puns. Severe bronchitis put paid to his summit hopes, but he was key in helping those who reached the top to get down alive. Since then he’d pursued an adventurous path: physically through rock-climbing and expeditions to remote parts of the world, professionally through journalism and filmmaking, personally through marriage and father-

hood and spiritually through Buddhism. At 9am on May 25, 2006, in clear weather and seemingly good health, Lincoln reached Everest’s summit. He spent 20 minutes on top and as he began his descent, he was struck by cerebral oedema, a form of high altitude sickness. For the next eight hours, four Sherpas struggled to bring him down, but without success. Late in the day Lincoln collapsed and was left for dead. Just before sunrise the next morning, in one of the miracles of mountaineering history, American guide Dan Mazur and Jangbu Sherpa discovered Lincoln alive, ‘sitting cross-legged on the crest of the ridge at 8600 metres’. He had taken his arms out of his down suit, pulled off his gloves and yet had somehow survived. His first words were, ‘I imagine you are surprised to see me here.’ Surprised too were his family and friends, when late in the afternoon of May 26, emails began to appear suggesting Lincoln wasn’t dead at all! Live websites from Everest carried snippets of information that coalesced into fact. Within three days Lincoln was safely off the mountain, badly frostbitten but with an unbelievable tale to tell. Dead Lucky is an extraordinary book, not just as a chronicle of the lost hours that took Lincoln from life to death and back again, but because it sets the miracle of his survival in several contexts. Lincoln explains what

drew him back to the mountain, and is frank about his self-justification for leaving his wife, Barbara, and Dylan and Dorje, his two teenaged boys, to do so. Everest 2006 was one of the deadliest and most controversial years ever, with more than 480 people reaching the summit and 11 deaths. Lincoln’s account sometimes reads like that of a correspondent reporting from the battlefield. When he comes across two bodies lying side by side, less than 40 metres below the summit, he writes, ‘I knew the names of other bodies I had seen on the mountain: Igor Plyushkin, David Sharp, Marko Lihteneker. And I

must have passed, unaware in the dark, Vitor Negrete and Ja c q u e s - H u g u e s Letrange. Even Green Boots, the Indian man who had been lying half in a cave by the track for years, had some kind of identity. But I knew nothing about this pair.’ Lincoln also writes passionately about life and the love that drove him to survive. The commitment he’d made to return to Barbara, Dylan and Dorje was the strongest thing that kept him alive. I found it most interesting that after Lincoln had been ‘confirmed dead’, he experienced a series of complex, vivid hallucinations. Even before he began writing Dead

Lucky Lincoln had mentioned these to me and I was intrigued. When I first learned that Lincoln had ‘done a Lazarus’, I’d put it down to his decades of yoga and meditation practice. I was only half-right. Lincoln writes, ‘Meditation and hallucination are, effectively, opposites. Meditation is a stilling of the mind where thoughts no longer have control, while hallucination is the mind desperately scrambling for a foothold in a brain that is no longer doing its job properly. Hallucination was my friend on the mountain.’ As a practising Buddhist, Lincoln believes that he ‘had been drawn into the first and second levels of death, as described in the Tibetan texts ‌ From here I was able to turn back from my spiral through the levels of death.’ Buddhism gave him a spiritual road map to chart his passage across the membrane of life. Dead Lucky is Lincoln’s eighth book and his best. It will appeal not just to mountaineers, but to anyone with an interest in the journey of life and death. He writes beautifully of the impact his passing had on his family and friends and celebrates their joy in discovering he’s alive. Not many authors have been delivered such a golden opportunity. Lincoln makes the most of it.

Back on stage, something to say John Campbell Rumours of the demise of the Drill Hall Theatre Company are premature. Founded thirty-five years ago, it has experienced an extended hiatus, a victim of our busier, more cluttered lifestyle that takes no account of the finer things. But its members will soon be on the boards again and those of us not enamoured with reality TV or the footy can make a deep collective sigh of relief. The production currently in rehearsal is Competitive Tenderness by acclaimed Australian playwright Hannie Rayson. Best known for Hotel Sorrento, her play which was adapted to film and nominated for ten AFI awards, Rayson wrote this piece in response to the way in which managerialism has impacted on all of our lives in general and on local government in particular. It’s about how once we were citizens but now we are customers. ‘The question needs to be asked,’ she insists, ‘is managerialism actually working? Or are we witnessing merely an excess of bureaucratisation?’

Rayson’s concerns are becoming more commonplace as our governance becomes more impenetrable and jargon riddled. ‘Managerial discourse may soon be taught in primary school as another second language option,’ she says, only half joking. Though being informed by the ideological nightmare that was Victoria’s Kennett government, the work remains every bit as relevant today, maybe even more so. ‘A play about local government, by its very nature, needs to be a farce,’ she adds, giving an idea of the manner in which some very serious material is handled. The Drill Hall Theatre Company’s recently elected president, Michael Borenstein, is the show’s producer and sees its subject matter as being of more than just passing interest in a Shire known for the feistiness of the relationship between its residents and their elected representatives. More than that, however, Michael hopes that the production will spark a revival in the performing arts in the

area. He is a great believer in the immense contribution that local theatre can make to the wellbeing of any society and is animated by the prospect of involving new blood in future projects. ‘There is a tremendous pool of talent out there that I’d like to tap into. Not just for acting either, but all facets of theatre craft. Costume, lighting, set design, props – anything and everything. Apart from helping build community, it’s a tremendously exciting, and fun, activity.’ Six performances of the show will run over two weekends, with the premiere on Friday, May 25. The DHTC is a non profit organisation and, after costs, all takings go towards maintenance of the hall. Refreshments will be available during interval and tickets, at $18 or $15 for concession card holders, can be purchased from the Mullumbimby Bookshop or at the door, with priority seating for those who have bought theirs at the bookshop.

Propaganda The government will spend more than $200 million of our money this year to tell us what a brilliant job it is doing. This spending will make the Howard government the single biggest advertiser in Aus-

tralia. By contrast, the Liberal Party spent an estimated $15 million on campaign ads for the 2004 election. So it seems control of the national treasury has given the Liberals a taxpayer-funded multiplier of 1300 per cent for financing their advertising. We, the taxpayers, are paying for the government to propagandise us for our votes to allow it to keep control over the treasury to spend more of our money. ‘We are now living in a PR state,’ summarises the Melbourne University political scientist Dr Sally Young.

A similar system exists at Flat Rock Creek near the Currumbin Bird Sanctuary and this illustrates how attractive the Wooyung system must have been. A concrete causeway at Wooyung set at the same height as that proposed for the additional pipes through the bund would allow the backwater to build up in the Billinudgel Nature Reserve, then flow directly to the ocean via the 50m+ wide overflow, compared to the 10m-15m wide overflow at the bund which would then flow into a flooded river system. In addition reopening the connection between Yelgun Creek and the east-west channel to the coast built in 1973 with a similar concrete causeway would allow a further 25m-50m direct access to the ocean.

Private Health Cover. Everyone gets a rebate on their premiums. Private health insurance plays a big part in making sure all Australians are well covered for their health care needs. In fact, over a third of all hospital treatments are done through private cover. Just imagine the pressure on Medicare if it wasn’t there. So it’s in everybody’s interest to keep the private system strong. That’s why the Australian Government supports privately insured people by giving them a rebate on their premiums. Everyone receives at least a 30% rebate. Everyone receives a rebate of at least 30% on both hospital a n d e x t r a s cover. The Australian Government has increased

the rebate for older Australians with private health cover. Higher rebates for older Australians. From the age of 65 you get a rebate of 35%, and when you reach 70, it goes up to 40% on both hospital and extras cover. And this is available right now. Different ways everyone can get the rebate. You have three choices. You can reduce the premium you pay to your health fund. You can claim it on your annual tax return. And of course, you can always claim it back through a Medicare office.

Whichever way you choose to receive it, the Australian Government rebate on private health insurance is there to make private health cover more affordable for more Australians. It’s part of the Australian Government’s Private Health Improvements.

Next time you reach for a bottle of chilled water consider the facts that were presented to me in an email out from the North Coast Climate Action Group: Bottled water and climate issues: bottled water costs from 240 to 10,000 times as much as water from the tap. The energy cost of producing, bottling, packaging, storing and shipping bottled water is huge, as is the environmental cost of the millions of tonnes of oil-derived plastic needed to make the bottles. Ask yourself the question: Do I really need bottled water? Dee Tipping

Participants challenged themselves to see how long they could forward roll, hula hoop, cartwheel, hold a handstand, walk on their hands or hang on a trapeze. There were some dizzying moments as Rosie McAndrew and Sienna Dillon forward rolled for 44 metres. Kirralee Castellano cartwheeled for a massive 176 metres and Ruby Fletcher for 88 metres. Rhianon Walker wowed the crowd with a perfect handstand for one minute and nine seconds. Jahlia Soloman walked on her hands for a huge distance of 31 metres. Rachel Turner hung from the trapeze for five minutes and Zen Ocean for four minutes. Spaghetti Circus’s president Joel Salom managed to MC while juggling non stop for one hour and 20 minutes. Pretty impressive considering he was sponsored $10 per minute! Isaac Dutton also juggled for nine minutes and 45 seconds. The annual event raised about $4,000 to support the fantastic work Spaghetti Circus does. Spaghetti Circus thanks all their generous sponsors, such as Stu Eadie Designs, Psycho Clothing, The Chocolate Shop and Sunrise Computers, for donating prizes. The Spaghetti Performance Troupe is currently working on their major work for 2007: The Ready, Set, Go! Sports Show that will tour schools throughout regional NSW later in the year.

When Naomi Rubinstein took part in an event two years ago in Victoria, she became the runner that sent up a shoot on Mothers Day in Brunswick Heads. Naomi says that after her dash through Melbourne’s Botanical Gardens in the annual Mothers Day Classic Fun Run/Walk’ she felt ‘so alive’, and when last year she looked around the Byron Shire for a similar event to participate in, she found none. She decided to create her own, and the So Alive fun run/walk to raise money for breast cancer research took root. With a team of dedicated helpers and what Naomi describes as an ‘enthralling response from local businesses with donations for the event and raffle prizes’, the inaugural run saw 100 runners, strollers and a few tiny riders enjoy a warmup in the park before the race start, and a healthy snack of wholemeal bread, fruit and spring water around the sound shell at the end. With the choice of either a four kilometre walk/run or an eight kilometre run, most folk took their time and enjoyed a beautiful Brunswick Heads morning. Those who like a challenge raced ahead, with

Rhombus are an exciting New Zealand electronic soul/funk/dub/hip hop outfit who’ve been together since 2001. The laid back isle that brought us Lord of the Rings has created a signature sound, with acts like Fat Freddys Drop, Trinity Roots and The Black Seeds to name just a few, Rhombus joins an impressive catalogue of musos putting down laid back beats with impressive vocals.

‘This particular configuration is pretty much set for all four shows, sometimes it’s a bit of a nightmare though, making sure the drummer hasn’t double booked – a lot of us are involved in other projects.’ I joked that unlike the tight monogamy of many bands, that theirs was more of an ‘open relationship.’ Koa, or I think it was Koa laughed: ‘Yeah, except we want to be number one!’ The band draws a line between Rhombus live and Rhombus in the studio ‘I think what happens in the studio is like having an open canvas really, when it comes to writing the music, we play all the instruments and record it all ourselves, then get in the vocalists later.

of respects, until recently there was a big difference between the studio project and the Rhombus live project, we have been trying to amalmagate the two a little, but having these open relationships can be difficult!’ The genre means that vocalists and MCs are given the opportunity to improvise – something that adds to the dynamic nature of the performance, but something that also needs to be kept in check by the other band members. ‘I guess our biggest challenge is exercising a bit of restraint at times, especially with the MCs!’ So how do you stop an MC who is suddenly off on a tangent? ‘You usually find they are controlled by the power of mute.’ For a band with such a spontaneous set, Rhombus

members are keen to monitor their performances show by show. ‘We pretty much record most of our shows and play it back. At times playing back can be challenging, the most important thing to remember is that listening to a two track recording doesn’t reflect the stage sound, but it does give you an idea with the freestyling and how to play the tracks, we play it back to the vocalist. For us, it’s emphasising quality control, the more we get together and play, the better it gets.’ In 2002 they scored an award for being New Zealand’s Most Promising New Act, Best Electronic Album and Best Album. Rhombus are in Australia next week with a spectacular 8 player lineup to perform 4 gigs and are joined by Mihirangi at the Hotel Great Northern on Saturday.

SOME SPLENDOUR LEFT FOR LOCALS

THE SCROTUM OF SERENITY Good news for blokes everywhere, you are sitting on the patent for nature’s prozac: semen. God’s happy juice is gushing through the gonads! It just so happened I was at home in the privacy of my office and I accidentally googled, (not gargled) ‘semen’. I came across an article from a reputable source – New Scientist, which quoted a study that had come to a remarkable conclusion – semen makes you happy. I don’t suppose men would have needed a study to verify this as it’s something most of them discover at puberty, conducting what is now referred to as ‘data collection’. In this study of 293 female students, it was ascertained that women whose partners used condoms were significantly more depressed than women whose partners didn’t. Apparently semen contains moodaltering hormones including testosterone, oestrogen, follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinising hormone, prolactin, several different prostaglandins and some sort of freaky glue. (It just backs up the theory that everything that’s good for you tastes gross). Apparently semen absorbed through the vagina will improve the mood of a depressed woman. I challenge any bloke to try and score a root off a damsel in the dumps, particularly with the come on line ‘Come on love – a bit of semen will cheer you up no end.’ I find the whole thing a bit hard to swallow. But if semen does contain a herbal high, then maybe that would explain why gay men are so much more fun to be around than straight ones. Women everywhere could end up with happy husbands, if the fellas just indulged in the odd spot of man-on-man action. (Similarly it might explain the ‘grumpy lesbian’ phenomenon and the homophobic prognosis for most gay women: ‘All she needs is a good root.’) While I appreciate the sentiment of the study, I can’t help but suspect the whole thing is a little ‘loaded’. Some of the happiest women I know are lesbians who have chosen a semen-free lifestyle. I can just imagine the funding application for the project. With science being a male dominated arena, the project would have had an instant green light. Selfless blokes forced to have unprotected sex in the name of science. A raunchy research root. The study is a little flawed – semen may contain some happy hormones, but an unwanted pregnancy and the prospect of contracting a sexually transmitted disease tends to bring on much more serious funk. It’s a rich anti-depressant resource, but bloody hard to market. Imagine the teste-monials!

Splendour in the Grass tickets went on sale on Monday and sold out in an unprecedented 5 hours. According to all the people who have emailed, it was frustrating, highly competitive and left some locals feeling like the door had been closed. Always keen to offer local Splendour fans an opportunity to purchase tickets, the organiser have a limited release of weekend event tickets that will be made available in upcoming weeks. Keep your eyes on this space – we’ll let you know as soon as they are available.

Having been nominated for a Dolphin Award in both 2004 and 2005, Karl took the Folk Category award in 2006 for Pilgrim Song, as well as nomination as a finalist in the Music Oz awards. He is currently putting the finishing

touches on his much anticipated debut album, Repentance Creek and will be showcasing songs from the album, prior to the official launch. Whether testifying like a revival tent preacher, or intimating in a tender falsetto, his finely-crafted songs take you on a journey, tracing songlines from the grit of working-class Dublin, through the peat bogs of an Irish glen to the red earth of the Australian bush: from the cool back porch in the Appalachians to the funky heat of the Mississippi delta‌ this promises to be a magical performance, don’t miss it. As usual there will be chalkboard spots up for

KRANSKY MAGIC They are the three spooky sisters from Esk who do the meanest Radiohead covers I’ve heard to date.

UKE BEAUTY AT THE RAILS The cruisy island style beats of the Blue Hulas are coming to the Railway Friendly Bar on Sunday from 6:30pm. Infused with the contagious sounds of the ‘weapon of mass affection’ (that’s the ukulele, in case you haven’t heard), driven by a pulsing rhythm section, and fronted by the incomparable vocal stylings of Benhur Helwend and the gorgeous Renee Simone, the Blue Hulas will have you sweating and swaying to their tropical sounds. Don’t miss this up and coming Byron Bay band!

YOUNG EARL AND MR TOM They have been described as enchanters and even shamans. Now is the time for you to make up your own

mind. Sydney’s Earl Gray and his Briswegan mate, Tom Clooney and special guest Leena team up to present an intense experience, so intimate that only the clang of glasses at the bar will remind you that they are not visiting your lounge room. Earl Gray is 24 year old Graeme Pillemer, who is enjoying some success with his Triple J play. He’s drawn on his bluesy roots and hasn’t been afraid to blend the sound of modern soul with Beatleesque melodies. They tip-toe through the tulips to the Bangalow Catholic Hall on Saturday. Show at 7.30pm.

RISING FEVER Hailing from WA, Veeva Feeva infuse a dynamic mix of genres from groovy funk to reggae, with charismatic live performances.

Salmonella Dub, Afro Cuban All Stars, Gomez, The Cat Empire, Bob Evans and Gyroscope. They play the Beach Hotel in Byron Bay on Friday.

READY TO GLO Mystic Beats has been generating a following as an exciting dance electronic outfit, fusing eastern influenced instrumentation with contemporary styles. With a fresh new sound, Mystic Beats brings a live infusion, with organic sounds, into the electronic world. Mystic Beats merges originally composed electronic grooves and a smooth blend of sitar, sarengi, guitar, tabla, jaw harp, oud, vocals and percussion. Deep dub, psy soundscapes and conscious beats combined with soaring melodies and percussive grooves, create a unique improvised live performance. Mystic Beats has existed as a music collective for over 4 years and all the members play a variety of different instruments allowing the music to fuse eastern influenced instrumentation with contemporary styles. Mystic Beats are followed by a pumpin tribal set by DJ Pulse to create a special night of free and wild dance. So to get your dance fix and some Mt. Warning energy head to Uki Hall in this Friday. Doors open at 8.30pm, show starts 9pm.

Tasmania’s Tim Logan is the boy from down under down under, and he is the guest MC for WhyNot! Restaurant in Byron Bay on Wednesday 30 May when 10 new comics polish their puns and garnish their gags. An open mike room offers new comics a chance to get stage time and seasoned comics a chance to roadtest material before they break it on the circuit. WhyNot! was packed from floor to rafter when they welcomed the monthly gig back, so book now to ensure you don’t miss out. It’s $25 for dinner, a glass of wine and a fab show. Dinner is served from 6.30pm and the show kicks off at 8pm. If you’d like a spot on the open mike call Mandy on 6684 3443 and to book the restaurant, call 6680 7994.

In the mid sixties Fred Lang, much to his horror, found himself lying in the crib in the Sydney Seventh Day Adventist Hospital. Six days later, after a daring escape, he crawled north east at a rapid rate until he happened upon an eclectic band of European immigrants. In time he came to know them as mum, dad, older brother and twin. The following 30 odd years have seen Fred also escape from 3 schools, 2 TAFE colleges, 106 employment opportunities, 53 households, 21 countries, and 5 relationships. (Having said that, he is very committed to his dog, Beau). In that time he’s also become one of the country’s most remarkable standup comics. He performs at the Ballina RSL with

Mista Micha’s MasterPeace Originally from Bavaria (Germany’s largest, oldest and most southerly state) or Franconia, as they called the region a ‘few’ generations back, Mista Micha migrated to Australia in 1996 and has built himself a rather good reputation as a DJ. Not that he was a novice to this world, having started DJ-ing in 1987 in Nuremberg racking up just about 20 years of music and dance culture by now. ‘I have covered many styles of music and played at a massive and diverse range of events, festivals, clubs and occasions.’ And naturally he has been promoting some parties around the Shire since 1999. MasterPeace Productions is his new project and DJ management company. Mista Micha has been host of Bay FM’s ‘The Chill Pill’ since 2002 and recently was appointed to the fund-raising coordinator at the Bay’s favourite community radio station. Please tell us what MasterPeace is about. MasterPeace Productions is about organising and promoting tasty events and

tours around the shire and the nation. I try and keep the quality of my events high and the prices reasonable, which isn’t always easy to achieve. With a MasterPeace-event, I aim to provide a solid night’s entertainment for my guests, starting early until late (as much as the venue allows), so people can stay and make it their night out. Usually a MasterPeace event features a couple or more great bands and DJs for less than $20 depending on the acts. MasterPeace is about quality, diversity and good vibes. That may involve local, national or international artists and DJ’s. What can we expect from the gig at the Backroom? I think this night has the potential to be one of those truly spectacular Byron nights that people rave on about afterwards, and we all know what it’s like to miss out on those ones… After all, Rhombus are one of the biggest independent and alternative acts in NZ, together with the likes of Trinity Roots, Fat Freddy’s Drop, Shapeshifter, Salmonella Dub… they

enjoy a bit of a cult status there. Rhombus are a brilliant, eclectic and soulful high energy live-act that has never played in Byron before. This is astonishing given the popularity of NZmusic globally over the last 5 years or so and Byron’s busy touring calendar as well as Rhombus’ quality and popularity! Then of course there’s Mihirangi as a support, who doesn’t need much introduction around here, she’ll bring her own unique flavour and amazing talent into the occasion.Then there are DJs Koa and Choice 1, both from Rhombus, they will treat us to some authentic kiwi-style tastiness. I’ll play some deep-bass-funked-uptunes with a dubby flavour at some stage during the night, we have until 3am after all! I’m really excited and a wee bit proud about pulling this event off, not only the fact of having Rhombus in town but also the fact that Mihirangi (who is from NZ originally) will be a part of the event as well, this is a spectacular double-bill, really.

BEAT IT Beat It presented by Ambercam Productions is the first of a fortnightly event held on Saturday at the Ballina Hotel’s Back-Alley Club. After the demise of Play> there hasn’t really been an outlet for the cutting edge sound that used to enthuse clubbers into wild frenzies on the dance-floor… but as it goes, this culture and perpetrators always find a way… yay! This is a strictly over 18s event full of Electro House, Tech and Funky Breaks with Play>’s Saturday nite favorites djs Flynn ‘n’ Clegs, Daniel Webber who brought you Summer Excuses, Sarah Tonin from the Fling parties plus a live VJ… $8 and ID gets you in.

COPYING BEETHOVEN

"6 ĂŠ ĂŠĂˆĂˆnäĂŠnxxx

Art is the ultimate magic. We might never understand how it works, nor be able to identify the well that it springs from but, as in ‘8 Mile’ and Mike Leigh’s gilded ‘Topsy Turvy’, the exploration of its source can often be equally rewarding. This is set in Vienna, 1824, and the great composer Ludwig van Beethoven is absorbed in the final drafting of his monumental Ninth Symphony. Into his disorderly old bachelor’s apartment steps Anna Holtz, the gifted student who has been assigned the task of transcribing the maestro’s messy notes. Director Agnieszka Holland does a smart thing by allowing Beethoven to be won over almost immediately by the

young lady, sparing us the prospect of another film built tendentiously on the weary theme of ‘woman makes good in man’s world despite enormous obstacles.’ Anna’s determination to be liberated from the confines of gender is always there, but she establishes herself as the precocious type early on by being bold enough

to correct the boss, so we understand that she is no doormat. Henceforth, everything in the story plays second fiddle to the music in general and the Ninth in particular. Some dialogue and characterisations are more Rodeo Drive than Hapsburg Empire, but when Anna (Diane Kruger) and Beethoven (Ed Harris in his most convincing part for an age) are together, in the throes of creativity, there is enormous energy at play. The buildup to the premiere of the symphony is all consuming and when the choir bursts into the famous ‘ode to joy’ I was transported heavenward. Holland does her second really smart thing by then allowing the concert to run for much longer than is normal screen practice, with the rapport between composer and copyist highlighted. Coming quite a way before the end, the scene is oddly timed, with the risk of anti climax following. But Holland maintains the momentum until, on his death bed, Beethoven dictates to Anna his last beautiful composition. It’s fictitious and scholars might carp, but I thought it rapturous. John Campbell

PRICELESS If not exactly a re-run of last month’s morbidly unfunny ‘Le Valet,’ this curiously beguiling number is similarly about a deadpan schmuck, Jean, who gets the girl of his dreams. This time around, the girl, Irène, is played by Audrey Tautou – what a gorgeous creature she is, and how awesomely sexier she would be if somebody gave her a good feed. The leading man, once again, is Gad Elmaleh, and he still comes across as a Ray Barrone clone. Irène is a tart who works the casinos and five star hotels of Biarritz and the

Riviera. At one of them she mistakes the barman, Jean, for a Havana-cigar smoking moneybags. She seduces him and when her current sugar daddy discovers that she has bonked the younger man, he ditches her, leaving her in the arms of gormless Jean. Sprung with Irène in the sack of the emperor’s suite at work, Jean is shown the door. He tracks Irène to Nice, but his credit card is no match for her taste for luxury and when his Euros run out she gives him the flick. He is saved from total degradation by being picked up in the lobby of another grand hotel up by Madeleine, a filthy rich woman of a certain age who is a dead ringer for a cross dressing Bill Nighy. Barrone and Nighy is a coupling to give any viewer the heeby jeebies and it threw me every time I saw them together. Jean reluctantly adapts to his role as Madeleine’s gigolo but you know that he and Irène will eventually get together. Before they do though, the plot manages a couple of unforeseen snags for both of them, including a clever setup whereby Jean plays a Dutch prince in order to help a desperate Irène win back the bloke who dumped her at the outset. The movie is pretty to look at and not entirely humourless, but its success depends on Tautou who, as the gold digger who finds true love, pulls it off nicely. John Campbell

THE SCIENCE OF SLEEP is from French writer/director Michel Gondry (Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind). Sweet, crazy, and tinged with sadness, Michel Gondry’s new film is a wondrous concoction. The film is characterised by a tricksy romantic narrative in which Gael García Bernal (from Motorcycle Diaries) plays a hapless, Chaplinesque madman. Largely set in the very active subconscious mind of Stephane (Gael Garcia Bernal), the movie bounces back and forth between his vivid dreams and mundane real life, which involves living in a Parisian apartment and working

at an office with a strange crew of characters. When Stephane meets Stephanie, a shy neighbour from next door (played by Charlotte Gainsbourg), the two form an unusual friendship, one that may or may not lead to romance. The Science of Sleep is an extraordinarily playful movie; its unpredictable and engagingly odd sense of storytelling is sure to intrigue fans of other independent classics like as Amelie and Punchdrunk Love.

SCARED OF FAT? Sally Fallon, bestselling author of Nourishing Traditions, researcher, journalist, real-food activist, and founder and president of the Weston A Price Foundation USA (www. westonaprice.org), has been in Australia to give a series of lectures which challenge ‘politically correct’ nutrition. She says we must eat ‘real foods’, cholesterol and high-fat foods to survive.

‘The body and brain cannot function without them.’ says Ms Fallon. ‘Fertility, bone and teeth structure and heredity strengths will deteriorate if we continue to replace these foods with highly processed, synthetic substitutes. Obesity is prevalent, alongside asthma, infertility, allergies, learning and behavioural problems, heart disease and diabetes as a result of these changes in our diet.’ Ms Fallon explores the roles that ‘shaky’ science and vested interests have in dictating our food choices. She looks at the dangers and results of replacing a traditional diet of natural, nutrient-rich, unrefined foods and animal fats with a diet of highly processed, low-fat, nutrient-poor, synthetic foods and so called ‘health foods’.

She says we must reintroduce the foods we have denied ourselves for so long. Foods the ‘diet dictocrats’ and vested interests have made us afraid to eat. She says traditional foods rich in natural fat and cholesterol such as butter, cream, full-fat natural milk and butter, as well as organ meats and cultured foods, are essential for physical integrity and our survival as a species.

Visiting family impelled the delicious prospect of a feast. Initially I considered tagines, casserole, lasagna – whatever it was to be, needed to be prepared well in advance in order that I could be part of the party – but remembering how mostly vegetarian people seem to be these days, I settled on the simplicity of antipasti. I composed my shopping list; it was quite clear that, with mostly vegetables required, a trip to the farmers market was in order. And so I paid a Thursday morning visit to the Byron one. It was a heavenly day, defiantly warm for late autumn, and I crossed the road in a state of pleasurable anticipation, with visions of wafting serenely from stall to stall perusing and browsing, running into people I knew, chatting to the growers about their wares. I clutched my list but was flexed for seduction by things not on it; it felt, somehow, a little like arriving at a department store for an undisciplined few hours of Christmas shopping. And, to be sure, that particular analogy could not have been more apt. My expectations of wafting were rudely shattered at the first stall I attempted to penetrate. The lettuce and herb stall has always been a popular one but nothing prepared me for the bank of belligerent customers, most of them women, forming a formidable front before it, their green bags of burgeoning produce preventing the slightest possibility of even glimpsing the contents of the tables. Pushing and shoving, their faces wore the tight focus of the grimly greedy, reminding me precisely of that competitive self-serving air which swirls around department-store shopping at times such as Christmas or, worse, the post-Christmas sales. When I managed to finally work my way to the frontline my heart was pounding; I scrambled together quickly a handful of squeaky little zucchini, half a butternut pumpkin and far more green beans than I needed and decided to relinquish the herbs and lettuces I had so looked forward to. At the potato stall where I distinguished, in snatches, precisely the sweet potatoes I desired, my view was soon blocked by a tall bald man in Thai fisherman’s trousers who was monopolising the pumpkins in a way I found both aggressive and selfish; I did not even bother to compete, and drifted wanly on. Most of the faces I passed looked joyless and purposeful – where was the jolly community spirit I had experienced on many previous visits? Who were all these pushy, pushing people – did they even live here? And then I moved in to a quieter space. There was gorgeous bearded Kendrick, patiently pressing avocados for a customer to ascertain ripeness, face brightening at the sight of me, then describing the best uses for his little white and striped eggplant (better in curries, was his advice – so go for the standard black ones, he urged, even though it meant he would not make a sale out of me.) It was like a haven of calm, away from all that madness. At one end of his clothed table were exquisite bunches of herbs and salad leaves as pretty as bouquets of flowers; he told me that one customer sits a bunch on her desk at work for two days before taking it home to eat. Further along at another quiet stall the gentle-faced man selling Meyer lemons the size of tennis balls told me that no, unfortunately, they were not good for grating given their thin skins but definitely were for squeezing in to a glass of warm water every morning. This is what I had come for: cosy conversations and confidences exchanged with the growers of this lovely produce. I found my black eggplant, and I found tiny beetroot which were not on the list but which suddenly inspired the notion of a crimson element to my antipasto platter. I admired dragonfruit and fat little bananas and fresh galangal and turmeric and chillies of all shapes and sizes, and the splendour of the Byron Muffin Men’s array on a snowy tablecloth of baby carrot cakes and fudgey chocolate brownies and savoury tartlets and of course muffins – but I was actually relieved to leave.

ARIES: This week’s the kind you love: full of chances to show off your wickedly articulate wit. But those smart comments could also get you in trouble – so run them by your inner minder, invisible editor or whatever sixth sense protects your interests.

LEO: Of course you’ll be drawn to what excites and inspires you this week – and in your enthusiasm be inclined to overlook caution, warnings and important details. But everything needs to be taken into consideration right now, not just the bits you like.

TAURUS: Taurans don’t like being told what to do and everyone knows how difficult it is to change your mind once it’s made up, but this week could do it in the cleverest way possible – by convincing you it was actually your idea.

VIRGO: The pause that refreshes and the twoletter word starting with n and ending with o are your best friends this week. Gemini time’s about two heads being better than one, so let teamwork make the dream work rather than doing absolutely everything yourself.

GEMINI: According to Gemini birthday person Malcolm Fraser, life wasn’t meant to be easy. The present Sun/Mercury alliance indicates otherwise with funding, support, creative ideas and travel all yours for the enjoying. You could eat this week on toast – anything’s possible.

LIBRA: A five star week that solves problems in a flash, mixes a dynamite social cocktail and provides plenty of willing Libran fans to give you a hand. Your planetary ruler Venus is in a variable mood, but present cosmic conditions will accommodate it...

CANCER: If someone lets you down this week, something else comes good. If plan A gets shelved, plan B works better. Doors may shut, but windows of opportunity fly open all over the joint – in Gemini time the glass half full theory really comes into its own.

SCORPIO: This lively week sizzles with too much positive potential to let old scores and grudges stand in your way. You might be surprised to find former thorns in your side turning up as allies, so take the advice of Lola in Kinky Boots: change your mind about someone.

SAGITTARIUS: Thinking about reinventing yourself? There’s no better time. Does the cosmos support adjustments to your career, relationships, finances and life path? It does. You could change tack fast and make it work right now, because Archer stars are in full spectacular flight. CAPRICORN: Like this week’s birthday author Arthur Conan Doyle’s character Sherlock Holmes, nothing stops a Capricorn finding out what they want to know – which right now is how to develop your work into successful new variants, spinoffs or productspawn. AQUARIUS: Aquarians are usually definite about their beliefs and opinions – but goodness gracious, how audacious! This week you’re capable of outrageous behaviour that completely contradicts your strong and often stated views. Leaving others wondering what the...? PISCES: Things come in couples during Gemini time, so here’s two thoughts for the week: People are actually a lot more complex than their easygoing presentation suggests. And they can only take up as much space as you’re prepared to allow them.

Sports Roundup with John Campbell

Unconvincing makeover for white hunter with black heart John Campbell ‘Peace has come to Zimbabwe…’ Do you remember the stirring lyric, the pulsating riff? There was a new dawn in southern Africa, a black leader to champion the cause of the downtrodden. ‘Now’s the time for celebration, ‘cause we’ve only just begun.’ The words were sung by Stevie Wonder on ‘Master Blaster’ and, you’ve got to say, they could not have been further from the truth (and they also beg the question; what does a blind man make of race?) So complete has been Robert Mugabe’s fall from grace that the Member for Bennelong has forbidden the Australian cricket team to tour his benighted state. How convenient the intervention is for the spineless crew at Cricket Australia. Fearful of having a fine imposed on them by the bloated suits in the snake pit of the International Cricket Council, itself in the pocket of mega media slime, they can now wash their hands of making the decision and settle back with their G&Ts, quarantined from any charge of breach of contract. It’s hard to argue that the tour should proceed, though former test player Greg Matthews did his best on ABC radio recently. Prattling on with his ridiculous dude talk (he’s such a pill, isn’t he?), all he could come up with was that the ‘brothers’ should tour because ‘spor t br ings people

together.’ Like it did at the 1936 Berlin Olympics. Dachau was already in operation. ‘Don’t shake the bad man’s hand,’ was Matthews’s suggested protest. I think he was serious. During the tenure of his murderous and increasingly lunatic regime, Mugabe has turned a flourishing and stable nation from bread basket to basket case. None of it has happened overnight, though. The tyranny was well entrenched when our boys

toured in 2004, but there was no move then from Canberra to stop us ‘providing the monster with a PR victory on the world stage.’ Why now? John Howard, looking anxiously over his shoulder at Kevin Cuddlepie, clearly figures that, as a novelty, he might try and win a few votes for his humanitarianism (pardon me while I vomit). Rudderless, the PM has sailed into uncharted waters and gone against the tide of all his previous convictions. He opposed sanctions on South

should be observed, so he quit the team on principle and was never recalled. Alone of the party chosen to tour Zimbabwe three years ago, Stuart MacGill gave credence to his conscience and, unable to countenance any dealing with Mugabe, he sacrificed his baggy green cap for a higher ideal. Sadly, the Booths and MacGills of professional sport are as rare as hens’ teeth. If anything, today’s champions are more likely to disregard principle entirely if a buck is dangled before them. Scores of white flanneled mercenaries and rugger buggers snubbed their noses at the world’s and their own government’s sanctions against South Africa to go compete with and therefore legitimise the Boers’ odious Apartheid regime. So let’s not hold our breath waiting for the players to say anything more tiny-brained than the self-absolving ‘I’m paid to play sport. It’s got nothing to do with politics.’ Of course we should not go, but the vast majority of soccer mad Zimbabweans will just shrug their shoulders. Cricket is not their game and Mugabe himself will not give a rat’s. He will simply sell it as another example of the West’s contempt for black Africa. So please, Prime Minister, go easy on the blowy rhetoric and remember, lest Australia one day be similarly ostracised for your actions, what you do to one man you do to all men.

Sports Roundup with John Campbell Red faced Devils beat themselves

David Strachan never stopped trying on a bad day for the Devils. Photo John Campbell

John Campbell It was meant to be the day that the Red Devils turned it on for their sponsors. A marquee was set up under a cloudless sky and an air of expectation had settled over the ground by the time the reserves had finished their 30-0 demolition job on the Tweed Coast Raiders. The undefeated A-graders started well against their dayglo opponents, looking sharp and well drilled. It seemed that it would be another successful day at the office when winger Noel King scored a converted try in the fifth minute for a 6-0 lead. Straight after the restart, talented five-eighth Jared De Thierry made a long break that resulted in fullback Nathan Cross galloping for the line, only to be recalled for a forward pass. But what the hell, it was surely only a matter of time before the Devils went further ahead. Unfortunately, the visitors didn’t follow the script. Three successive penalties in short order gave the Raiders enough ball and territory to cross in the thirteenth

Crankin

minute and, at 6-6 the game had a whiff about it that did not auger well for the Bay. They hustled and bustled, with their big forwards charging into the fray, but the other mob refused to buckle. In the twenty-sixth minute, the Raiders’ number 12 was sin binned after some argy bargy and shortly after Byron’s David Black was also sent for a spell on the sideline. Byron were not exactly losing their rag, but their play was showing signs of frustration. A long distance penalty saw the Devils go to halftime with a not wholly deserved 8-6 lead. The Bay were unable to correct the tardiness of their ball control or sharpen their kicking game after oranges. If anything, it was Tweed who emerged the more likely to produce the goods. They did in the fifth minute when a beautifully taken bomb was quickly despatched to the winger for a try in the corner and a lead that the visitors clung to tenaciously. In the seventeenth minute they were in again and, at

18-6, the Devils’ ragged performance seemed beyond recovery. Their effort across the park was honest, with hooker Cory Bond and centre David Strachan always likely to make a telling break, it’s just that nothing was coming off for the boys. Nor were they helped by some questionable refereeing decisions. With twelve minutes left on the clock, hooker Bond made one of his typical darts only to be brought down within a whisker of the goal line. The ball was moved urgently to the left, where full back Cross floated a perfect pass for an unmarked Tobin Couples to dash over and, at 12-16, the game was still there for the Devils. Time was not on their side, though, and nor was the willingness of the Raiders to throw away the win that they deservedly got. A desperate flurry from the Bay with seconds to go gave a heart stopping moment of hope to their supporters, but it ended, appropriately with a knock on.

Looking after our bodies In case you hadn’t noticed, personal fitness has become a boom industr y and, whether you agree devoutly that a healthy body is the gateway to a healthy mind or that the trend is narcicism run rampant, you can only ignore it at your slovenly peril. If you want to be part of one of the bourgeoning businesses on the North Coast, NSW Sport and Recreation is offering a course at Lennox Head in July which will pave the way for a career in the lucrative world of the personal trainer. The eight-day ‘Certificate IV in Fitness – Personal Trainer’ course is the final step towards gaining nationally recognised qualifications and could lead to a wide range of employment opportunities within the fit-

ness industry. ‘This is the perfect opportunity for people in the North Coast region to become a qualified personal trainer without having to travel great distances to access the training,’ said NSW Sport and Recreation’s Development Officer, James Roberts. As is the trend in all endeavours, if you’re not armed with a certificate of some sort it doesn’t count and to cater for this the Certificate IV course is being seen as a basic prerequisite for getting work in the industry. ‘Lecturers from the FIA (Fitness Institute Australia) will present the course,’ James continued. ‘Among them will be Andrew Richardson, a for mer national judo champion who represented

Australia in the Commonwe a l t h a n d O l y m p i c Games and who presents regularly at international fitness conventions.’ The course will be offered via a series of face-to-face intensive workshops (July and August), online delivery, home study and workplace training. It is suited for those students/instructors who want to get straight into the industry as a personal trainer and have several hours a week available for home study. The fee of $1,900 covers eight days of lectures and workshops, examination fee, text book, study guides and a certificate of attainment. ‘I encourage anyone who’s thinking of moving into the industry to take advantage of this terrific learning opportunity,’ Mr Roberts added. For further information and enrolment forms contact the NSW Sport and Recreation on 6618 0400.

Byron lose heart breaker Matt Alexander Byron Bay Rugby made the long trek out to Malanganee to take on Richmond Range on Saturday needing competition points to give their season a bit of momentum. The game started well for the Bay with territory and possession all in their favour and the players were patient with the ball and used it wisely. Sustained pressure for two long periods saw Byron up 10-0 with tries to David Matasio and Mick Leece. Once in front however, Byron’s urgency dropped off and a yellow card left Byron with only 14 men. A Range try on the half time bell left the score at 10-5 at the break and the second half saw

Byron’s intensity and discipline slip further as Range put on two more tries to take a 15-10 lead. Despite a revival late in the game, Byron were unable to get across Range’s line, with fatigued players making poor choices in attack. Best for the Bay were Ant Barchard, Chile and David Matasio, who also secured the players’ player award for his brilliant performance. Despite the loss, the form showed by the boys in the first half showed where Byron can be. A similar display will be needed against Woolgoolga this weekend with the Dead Man’s Chest Trophy again being fought for at the Byron Rec grounds from 2.30pm.

Countering cretins You’d hope that it was not necessary for a government minister to call for parents and coaches to behave like mature adults when attend ing kids’ sports. But the stupid factor is still present. The Minister for Sport and Recreation, Graham West, has cited recent incidents of abuse as a blight on junior sport that

must be remedied. According to Mr West, over 4,500 education kits have been distributed to sporting clubs throughout the state to counter the problem, but placing pleasure above winning is the starting point. So please, all of you people who feel justified in giving kids a mouthful, grow up and pull your heads in.

We received a reply from the ‘mongrel dog owner’ castigated by a reader in last week’s Backlash: ‘I was the so called “mongrel dog owner� and I do very much regret the incident that occurred last Thursday week. My usually passive dogs aged 13 and 14 years, did indeed circle then chase a cat into a garden in Stuart Street. While I attempted to control the dogs this proved difficult as due to their age both dogs are somewhat deaf and one is quite blind. Of course I admit that I was wrong in not having them on leads and for this I apologise to your reader. I would like assure him/her that I will endeavour to be a more responsible dog owner in the future. However, I would like to ask your reader what he/she thinks of cats in general being allowed to roam free in the Mullum township? Judging by the number of dead native birds from obvious kills that I see around, this is not such a good thing. If I can be a more responsible dog owner is it possible for this cat’s owner and others to also be more responsible?’ ■■■■A letter to the editor re dogs last week from Karl Vockler and Angela Dunlop should have noted they are representing the community group, Watchdog. According to Vockler and Dunlop, ‘Watchdog’s vision is to promote mutual respect in our community and the protection of the environment. If you have any funny or foul canine anecdotes to share we would love to hear from you at watchdog4@bigpond. com.’ ■■■■On the eve of the annual meeting of the International Whaling Commission in Alaska, beginning May 28, Australians for Animals

Those waiting for the Lighthouse Road walkway to be finally reconstructed have taken to appending notes to Council signs at the site. This one suggests in part that the TV series Fawlty Towers represents a good model of Council process.

commissioned a Galaxy Poll held over the weekend of May 12 and 13. The results showed that just one in ten (11%) of Australians believe that John Howard’s government is doing enough to protect humpback whales, while 81% would like to see them do more. Four in five (77%) Australians approve of the ALP policy to take Japan to the international courts to stop whaling (41% strongly approve, 36% approve). Just 12% disapprove of this policy with ll% undecided. ■■■■Among many other important weeks possibly happening this week, May 21-27 is Australian Library & Information Week. According to the Richmond-Tweed Regional Library, library membership and book borrowing is well above average in the Northern Rivers Region: ‘Richmond-Tweed Regional Library loaned 1,677,822 items in 2005-06: 8.54 per capita which is well above the NSW state average of 6.85, and the library has over 107,000 registered members – well above 50% of the population. The

Library provided over 67,400 hours of free public access to the internet in 2005-06.’ See more at www. rtrl.nsw.gov.au. That new libary in Byron Bay can’t come soon enough. â– â– â– â–

The Prime Minister said yesterday, ‘We’ll make sure the public is kept safe from David Hicks – at least until the next election is over. By then he’ll be probably be less dangerous to our chances, I mean, our nation.’
