Oh say can you see our reluctance to conform…

This year the Graeme Dunstan inspired ‘4th of July, Independence from America’ parade in Byron Bay was also a celebration of the success of last week’s Peace Convergence at Yeppoon. Sunday’s colourful march led by the raucous Samba Blisstas and followed by 150 banner bearing supporters wound its way through town to the market. See story on the Convergence on page 8.

Bruns walkies raises hackles again Michael McDonald Byron Shire Council was divided last week on how it should respond to lobbying over the dog exercise area – and fines for going beyond it – at Brunswick Heads. After heated debate and a tied 5-5 vote, Mayor Jan Barham used her casting vote in favour of Council rangers assisting in managing companion animals compliance on Marine Park, National Park and Nature Reserve areas adjacent to Council’s companion animal exercise areas. South of the surf club at Brunswick Heads, Council will support

warnings where appropriate, for a first offence of a dog in a prohibited area; prioritise management and placement of advisory signs; and publish a notice in Council’s block advertising and issue a media release identifying Council’s 400m companion animal exercise area, with conditions of use. Council will also develop a memorandum of understanding with agencies controlling land adjacent to companion animal exercise areas including companion animal management. Cr John Lazarus put up the successful proposal, which was

opposed by Crs Tucker, Tardif, Woods and Kestle. Earlier Cr Bob Tardif moved that Council have the general manager and the director of planning approach the appropriate government departments to request a review of the dog exercise area at Brunswick Heads being extended by either providing an extension of the area to the extent of the permitted fishing zone on a timed basis of say 5am to 9am and 5pm to 8pm; or allowing the onlead exercising of dogs within the fishing zone; or a combination of the two.

During public access Mullumbimby resident Maggie Tardif supported the option later moved by her husband Cr Tardif and asked, ‘Why is there not clear and correct signage at Brunswick Heads Beach? ‘What needs to be considered is that a lot of dogs in a confined space will and do create havoc, it’s just natural and the 400m strip to walk a dog up and back only leads to dogs showing a bit of aggression to each other. Dogs are used to routine and once their routine continued on page 2

Celebration for highway completion A ‘community day’ will be staged to celebrate the next major milestone in the multi-million dollar conversion of the Pacific Highway to four lanes when the $256 million Brunswick Heads-Yelgun project opens this month. The Australian Government Minister for Local Government, Territories and Roads, Jim Lloyd, and the New South Wales Roads Minister, Eric Roozendaal, have announced that traffic will switch to the 8.7 kilometre new roadway on July 11. Mr Lloyd said: ‘It is great to see the Brunswick Heads -Yelgun deviation all but finished.When it opens next month, almost 40 per cent of the Pacific Highway north of Newcastle to the border will be converted to four lanes. Mr Roozendaal said the continuing Pacific Highway upgrade is one of the biggest projects ever undertaken in this country. ‘A community event will be held on July 8, the Sunday before the official opening. People will be able to walk or cycle along the full length of the project and have an opportunity to voluntarily make a donation for the privilege, with the proceeds going to charity.’ Final details are being arranged through the RTA’s Pacific Highway Project Office and an organising committee representing local community groups. Activities planned for the day include bus tours of the route; food stalls and market stalls; buskers, bands and a jumping castle; displays, and a colouring-in competition for local school children. Mr Lloyd said an auction associated with the opening would raise money for the local surf club and volunteer rescue association. The main item is a cricket bat signed by the NSW cricket team. The old Brunswick River name plates will be handed to the local historical society. Those wanting further information about the community day or wishing to participate can phone toll free 1800 071 144.

Byron Bay High marks 20 years Member for Richmond Justine Elliot, pictured centre with principal Barry Miller and Byron Shire Mayor Jan Barham, said this week she was proud to attend Byron Bay High School’s ofďŹ cial ceremony to mark the 20th anniversary of the school. Ms Elliot unveiled the commemorative plaque set outside the library beside the new Memorial Gardens. ‘Today is a wonderful opportunity to acknowledge the achievements of a truly great public high school, and to say well done to all the parents, students and teachers who have worked here over the past 20 years,’ Ms Elliot said. ‘It is also a time to acknowledge all those within the Byron Bay community who ‘Byron Bay High is a truly ing reputation for excellence worked so hard over many unique school. in academic, sporting and years to have this school ‘Over the past 20 years it cultural endeavours. built. has developed an outstand‘I wish Byron Bay High

changes, they do, and I repeat they do react and can show signs of uncharacteristic behaviour due to changes in their dog walking regime. ‘Over the last three years we have met and made friends with many dog walkers and we all maintain a community spirit, this is our beach and we love and protect it. Dog walkers at Brunswick Heads are very community minded and do the right thing and pick up their dogs’ droppings and after heavy winds and storms we pick up the debris that lands on our foreshore.’ Lance Ferris of Australian Seabird Rescue spoke in general of the dangers dogs represented to threatened native species, including birds and turtles.

‘Yes there are responsible dog owners, and I accept and commend all of those that may be present here today,’ Mr Ferris said. ‘However, given what I have seen on our beaches, I remain in a state of dismay and often total despair at the numbers of irresponsible dog owners who aunt the law and have total disregard for signs and the environment. ‘Undisturbed habitat is the last bastion of hope of survival for many species. I‌ consider that any extension to existing dog exercise areas on our beaches is a blatant disregard for not only the threatened and endangered species concerned but indeed to our environment as a whole.’ Andrew Page, manager of the Cape Byron Marine Park,

compliantly and there is damage to signs.’ He said Council needs to consider that the Marine Park Authority will be reviewing its own rezoning plan in ďŹ ve years. ‘If dog exercise areas prove onerous they could say from Brunswick to Ballina they are ďŹ nished.’ Councillors disagreed as to what degree native animals were being affected by dogs. During debate Cr Jan Mangleson described Council’s companion animals committee as ‘a war zone’. Q Council Roundup, page 18

Beware the $20 man... According to Julie of Bella Rosa Gelati in Byron there is a male scam artist working the local businesses by claiming he has been shortchanged from a ďŹ fty. Julie said, ‘He will buy a $3 drink or something, give you a $50 note, all the while talking really quickly to keep you distracted and bamboozled.

He acts like he’s in a real hurry so when you give him the change, he turns to go then whips back around and says you only gave him one $20 note.’ The $20 man is in his late 40s, has light brown hair, has a stocky, solid build and usually wears a big coat and some kind of hat or beanie.

told Councillors that the ‘12 months of grace’ for dog walkers intruding into marine park zones was over. During his speech Cr Tardif said that dog owners at Brunswick Heads were respectful ‘and probably do more for the environment than other people. If on lead, dogs are totally under control and it is quite reasonable to have a look at this.’ Cr Lazarus’s opinion was that the dog walking situation at Brunswick Heads was a ‘mess’. ‘A number of people have been acting non-

Petrac ‘oversight’ angers residents Story & photo Hans Lovejoy The toughest gig in town this week was trying to convince Suffolk Park residents that the new residential development planned for their suburb will address environmental and community concerns. Petrac representatives copped an earful from around 20 residents, with accusations ranging from increased trafďŹ c to environmental and social impacts. The lack of community consultation, however, appeared to be the sticking point. Public submissions close July 4, and the only community consultation was Saturday’s public information day, leaving only ďŹ ve days for submissions. ‘It was an oversight that we didn’t contact residents earlier,’ Director of Special Projects Stephen Bowers told the jeering crowd, although he said he ‘will take on board all these concerns’. The proposed site, Seacliffs, is on Hayters Road, which adjoins Baywood Chase and is being developed by residential specialist developer Petrac. The company claims to have a of history of creating environmentally and socially sustainable communities. Current projects include the Beach Road Holiday Homes project at Noosa North Shore, and PaciďŹ c Pines, a residential estate to be built at Lennox Head. Questions were rapidly ďŹ red at the trio, who appeared ill prepared for the public interrogation. Did you obtain information as to the ultimate acceptability of this project? ‘No.’ How many trucks will be using the road in construction? ‘I have no idea.’ Will this be a gated community? ‘No.’ There’s a 15 km speed limit on your site, but on Hayters Drive it’s 50 km. Surely this development will result in increased trafďŹ c and speeding trucks past our homes? ‘Yes, although the road has the capacity to handle the trafďŹ c. We will look at lowering the speed limit on Hayters Road.’

From left, David Cameron and Stephen Bowers of eco-development company Petrac.

But our road is a quiet street that children play on. Is there compensation for a children’s playground? ‘No.’ The proposed site is also a wildlife corridor, and many residents were concerned that this development will endanger native animals. The company’s ecologist Mark Fitzgerald, however, disagreed and said that measures had been effective at the Koala Beach residential estate. ‘The project will incorporate urban design that is wildlife corridor friendly, including the prohibition of dogs and cats. At our Noosa development, we installed over 100 nesting boxes in the trees that surround the construction site. We found that over 50% became inhabited by native animals such as sugar gliders and possums.’ According to Mr Bowers, Council won’t have to maintain the roads, lawns or manage sewerage and water, although the houses will be paying council rates. ‘The land has always been zoned and earmarked for residential development,’ he said. ‘We will do everything council

requires for this development.’ ‘That’s what worries us!’ said one resident. Another local stormed off saying ‘There’s no compensation or respect for the people that live here.’ Mr Bowers explained that they consulted Council before the land was purchased and invited two of its staff out to show them where houses had been pegged out. ‘In the space we allotted 30 dwellings, they said that 100 houses are allowed.’ The project is proposed to commence in early 2008, according to Mr Bowers, and will use low-impact designs to help protect the surrounding natural environment. ‘The residential precinct will occupy just 27% of the 16.1 hectare property and each home will be architecturally designed on a site-speciďŹ c basis,’ Mr Bowers said. ‘Each house will deliver the best practice in sustainable

design, and every care will be taken to ensure that this project does not adversely impact the surrounding ecosystem. The remaining 73% of the land will be reserved for habitat purposes, including the preservation of the rainforest on the western escarpment and ecological rehabilitation areas.’ Mr Bowers also said they will construct less than onethird of the number of dwellings permitted under the Byron Local Environmental Plan. Luke Whistler, Development Manager, told The Echo that he searched Australia for the best sustainable civil engineer for this job. ‘I grew up in Ballina and my folks live in Byron Shire so I know the area well. I want this to be the agship for doing developments well.’ As a PR exercise, Saturday’s meeting appeared to be quite a disaster. How did it happen? ‘We are based in QLD, where the applicant has the obligation to put signs up and notify the public. In NSW, local council are responsible for advertising etc,’ Mr Bowers said. ‘There was some naivety on our part and we are playing catch up. There is no requirement to undertake public consultations either, though we wanted to inform residents. Also this is one of our smaller developments – a tenth of the size normally undertaken – and it fell through the cracks. I urge anyone concerned about our environmental credentials to look at our other projects.’ Since Saturday’s meeting, Mr Bowers told The Echo Petrac is prepared to put up a bond to council to ensure against any damage to Hayter’s road.

Local News Goonengerry school feels the groove

Goonengerry Public School has just completed an eight-week Australian School Dance Program which involved all the students in a weekly dance class and culminated in a spectacular dance display at the end of term assembly. Kindergarten and Year 1 got in touch with their inner animal dancing to ‘The Jungle Book’, Years 2-3 danced to ‘Hey Mickey’, and Years 4-6 to ‘A little less conversation’.

Rising rents alarm Byron United after CBD survey Business lobby group Byron United recently conducted a rental survey of the Byron Bay CBD. Mark Timperley, organiser and spokesperson, said, ‘It was very pleasing to see a response of 25% and we hope that this information

will be helpful to our members and anyone looking at opening a business in the area.’ Mr Timperley was alarmed that the cost per square metre was similar to rents being paid in large shopping centres. ‘I am concerned that

winter is upon us and already businesses are closing their doors. We are certainly at risk of losing our village economy and niche retail outlets if rents continue to escalate. ‘I was certainly alarmed at the cost of rents in areas that did not get as much traffic as

Jonson and Lawson Street. High rents compared to low turnover are quite simply a recipe for disaster. People’s lives can be wrecked.’ The survey is available to Byron United members through its website at www. byronunited.org.au.

Businesses help green Main Beach The one thousandth in a series of trees was planted at Main Beach last Wednesday. Rainforest Rescue launched the Main Beach Tree Planting Project in February with a vision to revegetate the degraded sand dunes. Byron Bay businesses and individuals gave ďŹ nancially to the project. The Green and Clean Awareness Team volunteers took on the task of managing the regeneration of zones 8, 9, 10 and 11 and will implement after-care at their monthly activity days held on the third Sunday of every month. The planting plans were approved by Byron Shire Council in accordance with the Byron Shire Vegetation Management Plan and in consultation with the Byron Bay Surf Club. Local salt tolerant plant species were selected with a particular focus on low growing plants that will retain and enhance the enjoyable existing seaside walk and ocean views even once they have reached full height. Alice Moffett from Rain-

forest Rescue said, ‘There was a great response from the business community to help fund the project including support from The Green Garage, The Byron Bay Handimarket, Byronbay. com, Ed Silk Real Estate, Australian Admin Solutions, Dr. Doolittle’s Novelties & Kool Katz SurďŹ ng. We are

really happy with the response – the project had such appeal that we even received funds from outside the area from Zaishu and Blue Square, a furniture business based in Victoria. ‘We thank everyone who was involved including JHA Recruitment who donated in-kind labour support to the

value of $1,000.’ JHA is a locally owned and operated company which provides skill-hire, traffic control services, permanent recruitment, HR and OH&S and training service. Businesses who wish to support local tree planting projects can contact Rainforest Rescue on 6684 4360.

Story & photo Lou Beaumont Many remember looking forward to art class more than other lessons at school but many among us also know the creative process as a daunting one. Year 5 and 6 students (‘The Whales’) of Byron Community School have been guided through their creative projects by a local artist, sculptor James Brown. Brown, who is best known for his ‘kindling’ pieces (or as he describes them ‘crosshatch drawings in space’), has been working with the older students for a few terms as part of a greater Sculpture in the Schoolyard project implemented across all years in the school. The initiative of Rebecca Townsend, art consultant and co-director of artsCape and Casuarina Sculpture Walk, the project allows the children to experience an individual sculptural journey, with groups from kindergarten through to the oldest kids with their own sculpture projects each inspired by a different local sculptor. The kindy kids have been making nature mobiles based on local artist Virginia Reid’s beautiful shell chandeliers, Years 1 and 2 were inspired to make a rainbow mural from found objects by the works of

John Dahlsen and Years 3 and 4 had Hopi Steiner teach them how to make abstract plaster cast sculptures. Rebecca Townsend said, ‘We spent a considerable amount of time thinking about what projects would be suitable for which classes. We had to make them age appropriate and consider all sorts of OH&S issues in addition to all the usual logistical artistic measures such as non-toxic glues that would also be resilient to the outdoors. ‘We really wanted the students to create something permanent for the school so that there was a historical element to their projects. The kids can work and play in the school and identify with which parts of the sculptures they made when they see them.’ As for the students in the upper classes, Rebecca felt that one to one time with a practising artist would be a great experience to have before heading into high school. The students learnt quickly that the project with James Brown, based loosely on the theme ‘My Home’, surpassed just art. The children were challenged by the often unexpected need for skills such as maths and geometry and an architectural

Oliver, said, ‘I’ve learned how to join sticks together in a way that is different and new. I liked having an artist in the classroom. It was an inventive process that we’d never done before. At ďŹ rst mine was just a square – then I started weaving and it turned into this creative, bendy thing.’ Sam Price echoed his fellow students’ sentiments when he said, ‘I like that the process took a long time. It’s like when you are reading a favourite book – you never want it to end.’ So it seems all of the students learned something, even if it was ‘never to put cable tie around your ďŹ ngers!’ The artworks born of the Sculpture in the Schoolyard project will be showcased at Byron Community School Open Day on Saturday August 11 from 11am to 4pm. The day will be somewhat of a festival, with an art auction, sculpture tours conducted by the students, cultural stalls based on prior studies at the school and plenty of fun and food. Byron Community School, on the corner of Tennyson and Ruskin Streets, welcomes everyone to the open day. For more information you can call the school on 6685 8208.

viewpoint when interpreting their homes. James Brown said, ‘The project was at times challenging but they seemed to really enjoy it. As well as learning sculptural techniques they learnt to look at spatial relationships, take measurements, and think about scale as well as dealing with the familiar (for example their front door) in a less familiar way. They quickly became aware of what they do observe and what they don’t. ‘Mostly though it was great to teach them not to get too ďŹ xed on the outcome and just to enjoy the process, to guide and gently push them through their various blocks. It was an interesting balance between pushing them but not too much, luring them into making little breakthroughs.‘ The kids seemed to have got a lot out of it too though. The feedback is both inspiring and hilarious with testimonials as creative as the sculptures themselves. Student Maya Edin said, ‘It’s much easier to have a sculptor in the room with us to help. Mine started off looking like a weird line-box, then this weird teepee. Now it looks like a potato masher!’ Another student, Samantha

Converging for peace at Shoalwater Kelly Raison The 2007 Peace Convergence began on Monday June 25 with people protesting against the Talisman Saber war games ‘converging’ upon the Poinciana Tourist Park at Yeppoon. The Byron contingent travelling in the Peace Bus arrived on the Sunday night, as did larger buses from Melbourne and Brisbane, to ďŹ nd a meal prepared for them by Food Not Bombs as well as the ever present chai tent. The mood around camp was quiet as everyone began to set up their tents and prepare for the week ahead. Little was known about the preparations of a group of seven protesters from Melbourne, who were getting ready to enter the Shoalwater Bay Training Ground in the early hours of Monday morning. The group, who became known as the Super 7, were seasoned and well prepared campers who climbed through one of the flimsy barbed wire fences that surrounded most of the training area – only about 50 metres either side of the entrance gates had solid fences with rolled razor wire at the top. A media crew ďŹ lmed at least four members of the group beginning their journey and interviewed some of them

about their reasons for participating. Perhaps the most interesting participant was a 70 year old grandmother who was opposed to Australia’s involvement with US military forces and the possible social and environmental impacts that could have on her children and grandchildren. While the intention of the group’s presence in the training ground was to stop live ďŹ re activities, it was rumoured that the military denied their presence or continual presence in the area after seeing video footage of the entry. It was interesting to note that the local paper ran a story about the grandmother who had gone ‘missing’ in the presence of the protesters, and grave concerns were held for her safety. All the while she was braving the extremely cold and wet conditions in the scrub of Shoalwater Bay Training Area. The Super 7 were only found when they turned themselves in on Friday. All were arrested and taken to Rockhampton police station for processing. In the meantime, the Peace Convergence crew were quick to afďŹ liate themselves with the local group of activ-

ists known as the Shoalwater Wilderness Awareness Group (SWAG), who had an embassy set up in the local shopping centre. SWAG is a well informed group, some of their main concerns being the impact on the local environment and its residents. Environmental legislation has been altered so that the ADF is not required to carry out Environmental Impact Assessments for any activities that they deem unnecessary, and no detailed information on the weapons used in TS07 has been released or of the possible residues that could be left behind by the testing of new or conventional weapons. Local Byfield resident, Steve Bishopric, acted as a spokesman for SWAG and worked hard to maintain good relationships with local businesses and police. It was obvious that SWAG were working very hard to implement real political change to put a stop to the use of Shoalwater Bay as a military training facility. A meeting held at the SWAG embassy on Tuesday saw the organisation of the ďŹ rst protest of the week at the Green Gate Entrance near

Rockhampton, where the Peace Convergence encountered a police roadblock about 10kms out from the entrance. Negotiations were soon under way with the police liaison officers who eventually allowed Peace Convergence vehicles to pass through after being searched for lock-on devices. The rally of about 60 people was very peaceful, with 360 pairs of shoes being laid out to represent the 360,000 civilians that have died in the Iraq war. Continuing the theme of peaceful protesting was the small group of people who entered the training ground on Thursday with a letter of peace to deliver to the soldiers. It’s reported that upon meeting the soldiers and giving them the letter, a game of frisbee ensued, followed by offers of cups of tea before the police arrested the protesters. Another notable protest was held at the Blue Gate near ByďŹ eld on the following Friday, with around 200 people singing and dancing to convey the peace message to the police and military. A group of ten people then crossed the fence into the training ground and spoke to police and military before being released. From that group, four people decided to reenter the complex and be peacefully arrested to register their personal protest to the Talisman Saber war continued opposite

Rural ďŹ re volunteers honoured Over 50 volunteers from Ballina, Byron and Tweed NSW Rural Fire Service (RFS) brigades were honoured last Saturday in a ceremony recognising their exemplary dedication, commitment and service by new RFS Region North Manager, Chief Superintendent John Parnaby. Volunteer Ben McClymont of Main Arm Brigade in Byron Shire was one of many RFS members recognised. He was presented with the National Medal along with 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th Clasps. Ben has been in the service for 62 years, joining his local brigade in 1945. The ceremony also recognised the efforts of volunteers in conjunction with local community groups in developing an audiovisual trailer RFS Region North Manager, Chief Superintendent John Parnaby, congratulates Main Arm resident Ben McClymont on his 62 years of service. on ďŹ re awareness.

games. The protest then continued, with colourful political rhymes and beats being blasted out by Combat Wombat and her ‘friend’ Landmine Harry, a dummy made to illustrate the effects of war. Covered in blood and bandages, a PA made up part of Harry’s body to get his message across. Some of the events that were organised by SWAG

include a Speakers’ Soapbox at Yeppoon Town Hall on the evening of Friday 23 and a peace concert, also at the Town Hall, on the following Saturday. The highlight of the Speakers’ Soapbox was hearing Fanai Castro of Guam and Terri Keko’olani of Hawaii speak of the social, economic and environmental impacts of the US militarisation on their respective countries. They travelled to Shoal-

water Bay with a strong message of warning to the Australian people and to stand in solidarity with those opposed to TS07. The ďŹ nal ofďŹ cial event on the calendar of the Peace Convergence was the street parade organised by SWAG on Sunday June 24. At least 400 people participated in the march through the main street of Yeppoon, local residents and some people that

were either very tall, or using stilts. It was an amazingly colourful affair with rainbow peace ags, drums and protest signs being wielded by nearly all involved and many local residents of Yeppoon stopped to watch it proceed. The march ended at the beach, where people remained gathered to hear talks from politicians, wildlife experts and organisers of the event.

At the sharp end of Howard’s reforms Vol 22 #04

July 3, 2007

Why we are here If you are a newcomer to Byron Shire (that is, if you arrived later than sometime in the last century) you might occasionally be puzzled by the complaint of older residents that the alternative culture is not what it was. It is in the nature of things for the memories of oldtimers to acquire a patina of former glory, but although Byron Bay was never like Nimbin, it wasn’t like Double Bay either. There is no doubt that the Bay has been transformed by consumerism, just as there is no doubt that Main Arm is about to encounter its ďŹ rst middle-class residential estate, born in the belly of a Trojan Horse called sustainable development. However, the newcomers are right to be puzzled. Despite the gentriďŹ cation of the Shire it remains one of the most creative places in Australia, with more experiments in art, technology and politics per acre than any comparable community (California possibly excepted). Visitors detect this unusual openness to new ideas and the solid achievements it has made possible. If you are alert to sociological nuances you will ďŹ nd in Byron Shire a different way of doing things, with all the stages of life represented from natural childbirth to non-commercial funerals, and everything in between. Alternative schools, organic food and naturopathic health ourish here; local festivals of art, music, ďŹ lm and publishing have national proďŹ les; an information technology industry is taking root; there are even communes still surviving – just. Sometimes in straining for the ideal we can become oblivious to the actual, and miss the fact that so many enterprising people are doing such original things here. These achievements are more likely to be celebrated in ďŹ lm than in print. Alternative ďŹ lm-makers, in the sense of freelance, politically engaged and self-funded innovators, abound in the Shire and form the makings of a ďŹ lm resource the mainstream companies are beginning to notice. But even more important in communicating Byron to the world is the runaway expansion of the internet. It seems that hardly a week passes without the opening of a new site claiming to be the portal for ‘Byron Bay’, and that term prompts search engines to produce an astronomical number of references. The Echo has recorded, and been immersed in, the history of the Shire for over two decades, and has also operated a website for more than ten years. At present the site offers a page-for-page version of the printed newspaper, a useful aid for travelling residents and a source of amazement for curious foreigners. It is partly feedback from this site that informs the opinion that, despite an acknowledged myriad of problems, there is much in Byron Shire that we can be proud of. We shall retain this archival aspect of the site but later this year The Echo will present in addition a greatly enlarged and enhanced homepage that we believe will truly earn the title of ‘portal’. It is ambitious in the extreme to try to represent to the world the creative ferment and social melting pot that is Byron Shire, but the omens are good and the prototype bids fair to achieve this aim. What is unique and valuable in our community deserves a wider audience than newsprint can command, and even old-timers may then rediscover the reasons they were drawn here.

y and large Australians have been prepared to give John Howard the beneďŹ t of the doubt over his plans to recolonise the Northern Territory. They know him to be cunning, devious, mean and tricky. They note that he has lied to them before, constantly, and especially in election years. They realise that he has been getting increasingly desperate for an issue – any issue – which he can use to wrest the initiative back from Kevin Rudd. Nonetheless, most commentators and voters seem prepared to concede that he is at least partly sincere in his desire to tackle the sexual abuse of children in Aboriginal settlements. And even if he isn’t they don’t really care; it’s about time something was done, and if this is the only way to do it, well, let’s get on with it. The melancholy truth behind this acquiescence is that most Australians have never thought very much about the plight of the Aborigines and they’re not about to start now; it’s a lot easier to feel indignant about the problems that have emerged than to feel guilty about what caused them in the ďŹ rst place. As has been pointed out by politicians and editors since well before federation, there are no votes in Aborigines, and stories about them don’t sell newspapers. Howard hopes to gain ground from the exercise not by appearing compassionate but by appearing tough. However one substantial group of Australians remains unconvinced: the Aborigines themselves. They, after all, have been at the sharp end of Howard’s reforms all too often. They remember his

support for Pauline Hanson, his endless vendettas against ATSIC, his refusal to apologise for the stolen generations, his legislation to nullify the High Court’s Wik decision, his contemptuous dismissal of the idea of a treaty, let alone any form of selfdetermination, and his undermining of respected leaders like Pat Dodson. Unsurprisingly, they have generally greeted the current mobilisation with healthy scepticism. One of their ďŹ rst reactions was to denounce it as an excuse for repealing

were doing it because they could. But, said Howard, after ďŹ ve years their land would revert to the old community title, cross his heart it would. Well, up to a point, corrected Generalissimo Mal Brough: of course, if the community could be bribed or bullied into accepting individual title instead, the way some of the Tiwi Island communities had, then that would be the go. A lot could happen in ďŹ ve years, especially five years under effective martial law ‌ In other words, this is not

The melancholy truth is that most Australians have never thought very much about the plight of the Aborigines and they’re not about to start now. by Mungo MacCallum native title; the Howard strategy includes the leasing back of the settlements for ďŹ ve years and the abolition of the permit system by which communities can decide who comes onto their property. Howard immediately denied that his actions constituted a land grab, which should have prompted the immediate question: if it’s not a land grab, why are you grabbing the land? It apparently took the Canberra press gallery a week to ask it, and when the answer came it was hardly reassuring: it was necessary, Howard said, to make sure the troops had total control. If they decided to build houses, or for that matter to knock them down, they did not want be held up by any need for development approvals or the like. Essentially, they

all about the sexual abuse of children at all. The agenda is far wider. It is worth noting that the document which sparked all this, the Little Children are Sacred report prepared by Rex Wild and Pat Anderson for the Northern Territory government, does not even contemplate the kind of blanket takeover Howard and Brough have mounted; throughout its 97 recommendations runs a constant theme of the need for consultation and cooperation. Almost all of these recommendations have been ignored: instead we have a virtual invasion, an all-gunsblazing attack on a list of settlements chosen apparently more for their location – close to townships from which the invaders can access infrastructure and materiel – than for their actual problems.

Already some of the potential victims are complaining that their settlements are clean, they have never had cases of child sex abuse, but they are being shamed and humiliated by being treated as criminals. No matter. The one–size-fits-all approach, criticised even by Howard’s staunchest Aboriginal ally Noel Pearson, is the only one the government can manage. The implicit judgment is that they’re all the same – after all, they all look the same, don’t they? It is a plan which could only have been conceived and implemented by the most primitive of racists. It is also crushingly authoritarian: already the idea of compulsory health checks for children has had to be modiďŹ ed, not because it would have been invasive and degrading, but because it would have been actually illegal. This is all part of Howard’s refusal to be blocked by constitutional niceties – or any other kind for that matter. He himself has compared the situation to hurricane Katrina striking New Orleans, a belated but decisive response to a national emergency: once again the government, in due course, acted promptly. South Australian Premier Mike Rann compares it to the invasion of Iraq: Shock and Awe, devastatingly effective in the short term but degenerating into chaos and misery because of the lack of any long term planning. The analogy is tempting: Mal Brough, impersonating Donald Rumsfeld, predicted the invaders would be welcomed as saviours. So far at least, they haven’t. It has been a bad start which does not augur well for the future.

Letters

Think ďŹ rst Good on ya, Peg Balfour (Letters, June 26). Let’s think before we buy ‘Made in China’ and consider the issues of CO2 emissions, minimal or negligible pollution controls and so on. I would take it even further. Let’s look at our ecological footprints in the Western World – 7.9 hectares per person for every single one of us in Oz! That’s right, folks, we are living beyond the Earth’s sustainable balance – overshoot they called it! We get there quicker and quicker each year as we draw down the Earth’s future capital. The question I pose to everyone is not only to look at the label, but to ask yourself the question: Do I need it? How much stuff do we really need? A lot of stuff ‘Made in China’ and elsewhere is cheap – and that lures us – it ends up in the bin and adds yet more rubbish to our tip. What a waste of planetary resources, at what cost to the environment – and ultimately to all of us. Gayle Russell

Cultural merit Just who are the neighbours of the Mullum market who would want the drumming banned? I’m a neighbour, I wasn’t asked. I don’t particularly like it but hey, any artform has cultural merit from graďŹ tti to bongos. On one day a month, for a few hours, if it’s not raining, the drummers perform. I say let ’em live, you book burners. Edward Gray

More care on the roads Q The recent tragic death of a cyclist highlights for all road users the basic fundamental principle of using the roads in a way to suit the conditions whatever they may be, particularly at night. The prevailing conditions in Byron area include poorly engineered, badly surfaced and poorly lit roads. Road users of all kinds are often inexperienced, frequently intoxicated or under the influence of so-called recreational drugs. These conditions are not likely to change any time soon. Stupidity cannot be legislated against. How often do we see cars Merran Morrision’s concerns (Letters, June26) with Council’s Parks & Gardens department. We’ve been battling with Council & Parks staff for over a decade to protect our foreshore parklands from the concrete menace. Plans for a ‘hard surfaced’ foreshore walkway along the Brunswick riverbank have been rejected at least four times, by the community and Council, but Park Staff appear determined to continue on their quest to lay more pathways. Early this year, staff against all advice from Council, Arakwal representatives and our Landcare coordinators laid a 10m strip of tarred ‘cycleway’ within metres of the riverbank next to the Bowling Club. Efforts are now under way to have this toxic slab removed, unfortunately at the community’s expense. Currently two signiďŹ cant Coastal Cypress pine trees on Tweed Street road reserve alongside Massey Greene Caravan are targeted for destruction to make way for the coastal cycleway. This could easily be avoided by simply moving the caravan park fence which actually encroaches onto the road reserve and going around the trees, as recommended by

with faulty lights, cyclists with no lights and pedestrians in black clothing on the streets at night? No wonder incidents are all too common. Only when we all properly consider the prevailing conditions and use the road accordingly will we see a signiďŹ cant reduction in casualties on the road. Arnold Toynbee

We’ve yet to see if the trees will survive or the concrete pathway prevail, but if Council’s parks and gardens staff have their way, there soon won’t be an untidy blade of grass or a messy tree left in our community.

Bouquet A lot of people are quick to criticise the Council and no doubt it is deserved in some cases. However I think it is also important to be complimentary when things are done well. I recently applied for development consent to build a new covered deck at home and received approval in about ten days. That seems pretty efďŹ cient to me. Garth Luke

Adding to the mess One might think that the takeover of powers from the Northern Territory by the federal government in relation to the NT government report, ‘Little Children are Sacred’, is a positive response, until one realises there is a federal election six months away, and an emergency response to the plight of

Part of my duty as a doctor has entailed caring for the tragic consequences of bike accidents. One patient is now wheelchair bound with severe brain injury. Others have been ‘lucky’ with only broken bones or cuts and bruises. I suppose my question is, what has to happen to get people to take on the protection needed for safe and sane cycling?

Suffolk Park Aborigines was due two centuries ago. It is unlikely that draconian measures such as bans on alcohol and pornography – the ďŹ xing of symptoms – can provide any sort of relief other than boost the Coalition’s electoral rating. In fact there is every likelihood that it will make things worse for Aborigines in increasing their sense of powerlessness. Ben Bartlett who leads the Primary Health Care program of the Cooperative Research Centre for Aboriginal Health has also warned that sexual abuse checks would be ‘highly inappropriate and could themselves amount to sexual assault unless they were conďŹ ned to children in whom abuse was strongly suspected‌’ (SMH 2324/6/07). The likelihood of overreaction is very real. The federal government called out the army. Until the dominant white culture is prepared to look at the hole in our collective hearts, in all likelihood

we will simply add to the mess we have already made. We have trouble recognising the importance of the emotional body. We appear to assume that the negatives in the history of a person or race should have no relationship to who they are now. In fact, Professor Judy Atkinson, head of Southern Cross University’s Gnibi College of Indigenous Australian Peoples, while trying to get the government’s attention for programs to treat violence trauma, was told in 2005 by a senior advisor to a Howard cabinet minister: ‘We know all this stuff – can’t you people just get over it?’ There wasn’t just a stolen generation of Aboriginal children, but also deprived generations of white children. White children were typically deprived of emotional bonding with their parents that caused them to be convinced in adulthood that an emotional life’, the emotional body, had little relevance. The ensuing hole in the emotional heart was filled with materialism. Emotional deprivation for white children is centuries old. It was common practice in may parts of Europe for small children to be separated from their parents and bonded to tradesmen/ women or those who could teach weapons skills. In the 19th century children were idealised as people who should be seen and not heard. The schooling of children pretended that the 24 hour daily nearness of parents was unimportant, and mothers ignored the primal tugging of their heartstrings when children

exhibited feelings of desertion on their first day of school. To this day, breast feeding where arguably most bonding is able to occur, is still not a usual preoccupation, small children are routinely separated from their mothers in creches and others are placed in boarding and day schools. One could hypothesise that this constitutes an ages long pattern of emotional abuse. The studies of the importance of emotional bonding on individual wellbeing are legion, and yet in white society they are routinely ignored in practice. It goes somewhere toward explaining the apparent white callousness towards the stolen generation, and the shallow responses of successive governments toward Aboriginal distress. Professor Atkinson makes the point that ‘trauma must be treated, not just excluded or penalised’. Australia wold do well as a minimum to supply trauma treatment, for unless emotional trauma of white Australia is treated as well, one could envisage the continuation of the extremely sad situation where the abused abuse the abused.

Goodbye tree What can adequately express the sickness induced by the bureaucratically sanctioned destruction of a tree, whose only crime is to dare to grow where the ‘sacred god’ of concrete has spread its cold, dead, flat sterility? What slow, blinding soul-death has led humans to the unthinking acceptance of the idea that a carpark’s horizontal integrity

is of more worth than that which gives shade, shelter, air, and joy to the eyes and heart? Which was there first, the carpark or the tree? How many years did it take to grow, and how many minutes did it take a chainsaw to dismember? How can the stark ugliness of what is there now compare with what once grew freely? And in 100 years, how many trees will there be growing over your graves? David Brauchli

Transport poverty A recent report on ABC radio drew attention to the likely emergence of ‘transport poverty’ among large

sections of the Australian population unless governments start seriously addressing the serious lack of public transport infrastructure (www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2007/06/27/1963181. htm). We can’t wait until petrol prices reach the point where people can no longer afford to go to work, as the report suggested. As Louise Doran noted in last week’s Echo, the federal government needs to act on restoring the Casino-Murwillumbah rail line and linking it to Queensland as a key measure to address climate change. We can add the need to act to ensure the future social, economic and environmental sustainability

What happened to media neutrality? Q Mungo MacCallum’s polluted attempt (Echo, June 26,) to discredit the government’s initiative in dealing with child abuse issues in the Northern Territory is disappointing but not surprising. His euphemistic description of what is probably the wholesale destruction of the reproductive organs of countless numbers of prepubescent children and the murder of their souls as merely the degradation of Aboriginal children is beyond belief. No doubt this latest event in the tragic history of our nation will sustain this frenzied organism until something else comes along. Bill Tweedie

Mullumbimby Q Whatever happened to neutrality in the media? Don’t get me wrong, I’m not so naive as to believe that government in Australia is not elected on the back of

popular media but surely there should at least be a modicum of restraint. The cartoon run in your editorial section of The Echo on June 19 would have to be one of the most disgraceful examples of media bias I have ever seen; perhaps someone should check out your accounts, there is a fair chance they may contain some campaign donations from poor old Joe McDonald. Your ‘King John and the public purse’ article in the same edition is, if anything, an even worse example of bias. I know that many people prefer not to profess their political leanings but I’m happy to go on the record – I have voted Labor for the last three federal elections mainly because I believe there needs to be more protection for the average worker (not that there is many of them left in the Byron Shire compared to

ten years back). I was planning to go ahead and vote for Labor again in the upcoming election but I am starting to have some reservations. It would be interesting to hear what your female readers think of Rudd’s handling of his wife’s business interests or of his brothers for that matter. In addition, for a party that was founded specifically to promote union interests in the political arena it’s strange that Kevin seems to think he has a right to expell union members from the party. These are active union members that have spent a lifetime struggling for workers’ rights and supporting the labour movement! I am having trouble justifying a vote for an opposition that seems to be wholely interested in grabbing power. So far all of their policy releases in my opinion seem to be nothing more than bla-

tant vote grabs based on sketchy theory. Public service employees in the Byron Shire may do well to have a look at Rudd’s record while he was under the employ of the Goss governement up in Queensland as well – not what you would call supporting the average worker, that’s for sure. I’m not at all certain whether you will print this letter but I think your paper, in the interests of democracy, has a responsibility to represent both political parties and allow your readers to make an informed choice.

Peace protests It seems strange to me that in order to espouse the cause of peace that little thought seems to be given to the way of protecting that most desirable state. I remember only too well the statement of the English Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, after returning from visiting Germany, waving a paper and proclaiming, ‘Peace in our Time’. Here was a man prepared to accept peace at any price, a view which cost Britain and its Allies dearly. It does seem paradoxical, that to ensure peace a nation must train and be ready in case of attack by other nations and it might be well to remember that the troops at Shoalwater Bay are training to that end.

Time for peace

tions to support massive initial attacks on Baghdad. There were no valid reasons for this illegal invasion. Saddam could not have matched the slaughter it unleashed. Striking terror with terror begets more terror. Courageous leadership would have taken the more difficult moral approach of turning the other cheek. It is time for a new kind of courage and some universal spiritual principles of the kind espoused by Jesus and Mohammed. Not those of some of their more aggressive followers. It is time for a new US leader to admit the USA made a grave error, to ask Iraqis for forgiveness, to promise immediate withdrawal. As perpetrators the USA and their allies have forfeited any right to remain. Hatred towards them is an impediment to peace. Withdrawal is unthinkable to many. They can’t see beyond the inevitable. But the mere enunciation of this intent will set in train actions towards peace. The world won’t be found short of reputable peace brokers waiting to bring all parties into dialogue. The question is could the Democrats transform and produce such leadership in the face of vested economic interests? Could Australia or Britain conceivably evolve such leadership in the alliance?

Parrot debate rivals dog walking outbursts Q How embarrassing! Your article on page 17 ‘Welcoming the rowdy birds’ is a mine of misinformation. The bird pictured is a Rainbow Lorikeet, not a Rosella. Rainbows are the larrikins of the bird world, travelling in gangs and yelling and squabbling all day. Rosellas, on the other hand, usually travel in pairs and are quite quiet. I am surprised that you didn’t pick it up yourself, they (lorikeets) infest the palms on Mullum’s main street at dusk every evening. Andrew Hall

New Brighton Q One of the reasons that we are seeing the increasingly rapid extinction of all of our unique wildlife is because Australians have such little interest in the spectacular life forms around them that they

can never be bothered to identify one species from the next. Consequently, almost no-one notices the dramatic emptying of our forests and countryside of the delightful species that until recently inhabited them. A decade of a lack summer rains due to runaway global warming and the almost complete destruction of lowland forests and wildlife corridors in NSW and Queensland have devastated our ecosystems. But no-one notices because a handful of adaptable species, currawongs, crows, magpies, butcherbirds, kookaburras, mudlarks, wagtails, honeyeaters, etc with their wonderful calls ďŹ lling the air, make it appear that all is well. Of this small company of birds, I have rarely met anyone who can even

correctly identify any of these. The parrot that appears in the article ‘Welcoming the rowdy birds’ is not a rosella but a rainbow lorikeet. Eastern rosellas are common in our area and live in small family flocks and can be identiďŹ ed by the bright scarlet head, white cheeks, blackspotted yellow and green plumage with blue wings. They regularly feed on the ground and have a slow, undulating ight with soft musical chattering calls. Rainbow lorikeets are completely different and have blue heads, green backs and wings and red and orange breasts and underwing plumage. They have brush-tipped tongues to sip nectar and pollen from owers, have a rapid ight with loud musical screeching calls and congre-

gate in large ocks to socialise and roost. Although I mostly appreciate reading Mary’s articles, there is so little written about our living treasures, it does not help to publish faulty identiďŹ cations of even our most common species. Gary Opit

Wooyung Q In last week’s Echo, I wrote another article about local ecology and biology in general. With it was published my photo of a local parrot in a owering tree. As a cautious biologist, trained in NZ but working here in Australia, I asked NPWS to verify the name of the tree. I ďŹ gured I knew the bird. Judging from the emails and calls since the article was published, I am told I got the name of the bird wrong.

How did I get that wrong, I wondered? I checked back to NZ websites from Dept of Conservation, where pictures of rosellas illustrate articles about lorikeets. A search through online taxonomy reports outlines technicalities about whether and how lorikeets and rosellas should be grouped together or separately. Finally an Australian bird site explains that with some 20 species and nearly 30 subspecies, sometimes it is hard to tell the difference from plumage. They suggest the blue head might be a good indicator. I want to thank all the readers who kindly shared their local knowledge with me about the name of the bird. In over 15 years of work in community, I still ďŹ nd that local information is really important. Time and again, I

learn how much I have to unlearn. I also appreciate yet again the importance of scientiďŹ c names. I should learn from history. When Captain Cook and Banks journeyed in the Antipodes, they used common names from England willy-nilly. Perhaps in future articles, I should include scientific Latin names, plus local names, and some taxonomic references to boot. I look to the late great Oscar Wilde and add that not only are USA and UK divided by a common language, but so are Australia and New Zealand. And so can be ‘specialists’ and ‘locals’. In the end, let’s love watching the birds. Let’s mind the trees. Let’s celebrate being alive. Mary Gardner

Navigating the confusing immunisation maze Simon Haslam Vaccination rates in the Byron area are the second lowest in Australia.* Only wealthy Eastern Suburbs Sydney has a lower rate of full immunisation. Why do 30% of children in this region not receive the full schedule of vaccinations? Should that concern the rest of the population who do vaccinate their children? Should it concern those elderly people who were vaccinated when they were young, but whose vac-

cine efďŹ cacy has now worn off? Should we have a compulsory vaccination regime in Australia? With the overwhelming weight of opinion of doctors and public health ofďŹ cials in strong support of the current vaccination schedule, why would so many people not want their children to receive the beneďŹ ts of what is arguably a shining success story of modern public health policy? ‘Life Matters’ on ABC

Radio National at 9am (and repeated in the evenings) on July 10,11 and 12 will answer some of these questions. On July 13 there will be a talkback session. The program called ‘The Immunisation Maze’ follows four Byron couples (selected after responding to a story in The Echo) who had not yet vaccinated their children. In May and June this year documentar y maker Mel McMillan followed them into information sessions

with Meryl Dorey of the Australian Vaccination Network (AVN), an anti-vaccination group, and then with Professor Robert Booy, provaccination Director of the National Centre for Immunisation Research and Surveillance (NCIRS). For some people vaccination is ‘something that you just do’. But as the partner of an alternative health practitioner, and participant in the program, we were quite reluc- healthy boy with 12 different tant to inject our outrageously diseases in six sessions over 18 months. Was it worth the risk merely to inoculate against such seemingly archaic maladies as polio and diptheria? If there were 200 cases of polio in Indonesia in 2004**, what is the risk to our son in Mullumbimby in 2007? How risky is the vaccine? How would we feel if he had a fever induced convulsion after a measles vaccine (NCIRS risk 1: 100,000)***, or got weak lungs for life from pneumonia after catching measles (NCIRS risk 6: 100)? Are those ďŹ gures even reliable, given that everyone we talked to ‘knew of’ someone whose child had a worrying reaction to a vaccination? Anti-vaccination groups such as the Northern Rivers based AVN also exist in the UK and USA. AVN’s Meryl Dorey was very pro-vaccination until her child suffered what she is convinced was an injury from a vaccine. The AVN claims that under Australia’s voluntary reporting scheme, doctors refuse to acknowledge and report adverse reactions; that the true risks of vaccination far outweigh the risks of contracting the actual disease; and that children would be healthier if allowed to contract diseases naturally.

Professor Booy believes that many parents seeking answers to childhood tragedies incorrectly blame vaccination, and fail to realise that refusing to vaccinate is a positive decision to place children at unnecessary risk. But with fewer of our anxious modern parents experiencing ďŹ rsthand the effects of vaccine-preventable diseases, ‘The Immunisation Maze’ shows that it is becoming harder for authorities to convince parents that the admittedly low risk of a severe reaction to the actual disease, is a ‘worse bet’ than the dramatically lower risk of a severe reaction to a vaccine. Can parents rely solely on Government recommendations, and on research sponsored by drug companies, to make the right decision on this issue for their children? If parents dissent from the orthodox view, what should doctors and health authorities do? *70.8% ‘fully immunised’ at 2 years in the Byron statistical area. 70.2% Mossman statistical area.

The days of knowing what your fellow worker is being paid are as dead as a dodo, comrade. ‘Workplace agreements suit us right down to the ground,’ I told her when she started whingeing. Fortunately, she had her mother, Faerie Queene, on the hunt with her. It was not so much a matter of asking for her help as not being able to keep the old moll off the scent. It was she who alerted the world to the presence in Our Shire of rugby league legend Graham ‘Wombat’ Eadie last month. [That’s another story he missed out on – Ed.] ‘She even goes to Australian movies,’ Cat Carer gasped. ‘Then she’ll know LaPaglia for sure.’ Faerie Queene’s quaint determination to support local cinema proved to be not in vain.

They pulled over to get Faerie Queene’s ration of Dubonnet, and there he was, The Man, sunning himself and reading This Paper. But was it him? An appended note read ‘Can’t find LaPaglia anywhere, but did you know that Simon Crean was up here?’ I plan to retain Cat Carer and her Mum (who actually reads Australian novels, too) for when the Writers’ Festival star gaze rolls into town. The organisers have breathlessly promised us ‘deep thoughts’ (or was it ‘deep throats’?), and already I’m worried that The Boss might send me off after one of the luminaries, like David Marr. ‘What was he in?’ Cat Carer has asked. ‘He’s not a movie star,’ I explained. ‘Oh. . .

John Campbell The Boss has been on my case to do a story about Anthony LaPaglia. He reckons that, as sports editor of This Paper, I have let our opponents steal a march on us with their cutting edge investigative journalism. ‘GUESS WHO CAME TO PLAY’ The Northern Galah squawked on its front page a couple of weeks back, agog with Anthony’s appearance as goalkeeper in a local game of football (ie, soccer). The headline’s type was the size normally reserved for a Paris Hilton incarceration or a Nimbin dope bust. ‘How can we compete with this, mate?’ The Boss railed. ‘Even the Byron Shire Snooze has had a picture of him.’ It’s a fair cop, I realised, riven of my native apathy and suddenly eager to be providing our information hungry community with all the news that ďŹ ts. Preoccupied with getting the last ounce of esh from the WWOOFer who foolishly lobbed at my place for a day (only to be assigned the task of ridding my yard of its rampant lantana), I called on Cat Carer to follow Anthony’s trail for me. She’s out of work again and needed to put in a few hours a week to keep the Member for Bennelong’s miraculous employment figures up. The girl doesn’t know how lucky she is to be in her situation but, as a snout, she’s shown considerable promise. ‘Is he the guy who looks like Simon Crean?’ she asked, trying to clarify her job description. Given her typical apathy towards politics, I was surprised that she made the remark, but I think she might have something there. I negotiated with her a cadet paparazzo’s fee as a sub contractor to This Paper,

The Generator goes ofine until election John Laws is not the only pair of golden tonsils hanging up his headphones this week. Giovanni Ebono, host of The Generator, a popular and inuential radio show running on Bay FM since 2005, will give up the panel at the community radio station until the federal election is over. He was elected Greens candidate for the federal seat of Richmond last month and has decided not to juggle the rigours of a weekly two hour radio show and an election campaign.

‘A hard-hitting show like The Generator can hardly promise to be politically neutral,’ said Uncle Joe, Ebono’s on-air persona. The Generator moved into the popular 9am Monday spot in November 2006 taking over from Nyck Jean’s Heart 2 Heart. ‘Nyck felt a Thursday spot would give him time to read The Echo and line up guests,’ Ebono claimed. ‘Every problem is an opportunity. We just stalked The Echo journalists and told listeners what

was going to be in next week’s newspaper.’ The Mullumbimby man appeared in Mandy Nolan’s Virgin SacriďŹ ce at the Byron Bay Bowling club on June 25. ‘I understand Sue Page is no relative to Don Page, or the seat of Page,’ he joked. Editor of Sustainable Living for Dummies and the forthcoming Global Poverty for Dummies, Ebono is also an author. He hopes that his forthcoming Guide to Saving the Planet will sell well enough to feed his family while he is

running a political campaign. ‘There is always the danger that I get so busy with the big issues that my own family misses out.’ BayFM management is currently experimenting with different approaches to the timeslot. The management committee hopes to keep it on air, even without Ebono at the controls. Right: Giovanni Ebono, right, and Wayne Wadsworth in the Secret Garden, a regular feature of The Generator.

Byron Bay Writers Festival

What it really means to be an adult Adult Themes: Rewriting the Rules of Adulthood by Kate Crawford Reviewed by Mandy Nolan

A featured writer at the upcoming festival, Kate Crawford is the author of Adult Themes: Rewriting the Rules of Adulthood, a book which identiďŹ es the cultural values implicit in the assignation of ‘adult’ and ‘nonadult’ behaviour. Kate Crawford is a writer, a composer and an academic. She’s worked as a journalist, she’s presented an ABC TV series, she’s a regular on ABC radio as a cultural commentator, she’s a lecturer in Media and Communications at Sydney University, and in her spare time when she’s not crocheting the edges of tea towels or hand embroidering her curriculum vitae, Crawford is a well known music producer, having released three albums and six EPs with B(if)tek and Clone. She rents, sports no ring and is currently listed on the relationship stock exchange as: ‘available’. While her career achievements are massive, Crawford falls well short of meeting the adulthood indicators and is a prime example of the much maligned and steretoyped generation now being referred to as ‘adulescents’ or ‘kidults’. Media commentators proclaim these well-educated, single, childless, travelobsessed young people as the scourge of adulthood, and they alone bear the full responsiblity for what is predicted as a social apocolypse: a childless future of property deficient gadget-obsessed geeks. In her impressive text Crawford deconstructs the mythology surrounding adulthood. Each chapter is another onion skin which

Kate Crawford, author of Adult Themes.

shrouds our social assumptions about what it means to be an adult. The well researched chapters deal with work, marriage, children and family, property, culture, politics and citizenship and conclude with an optimistic rewrite of a new narrative for adulthood, and point the reader in the direction of the Ethics of Adulthood. This is not the kind of book you pick up for a night time read. It’s dense with information. This text has been thoroughly researched, and Crawford interweaves resources from pop culture with philosophers, media commentators, literary theorists and more. In fact, this book is so well resourced that one assumes that this is a PhD project, as no ordinary writer would go to such extraordinary lengths to

develop such a careful argument. This is not supposition and prejudice. This is a precise negotiation that investigates the social markers of adulthood. This is a powerful and academic response to rhetorical clichĂŠs which don’t acknowledge the increasing diversity and heterogeneity of culture. The much maligned generation X and Y are operating in a different sphere to their ‘adult’ parents. Members of that generation often cite economic difďŹ culties for remaining childless and without property. In fact, as Crawford points out, these generations are heavily taxed, to cope with the burden of an ageing population. Although Adult Themes locates the generational oppositions established by the media, it doesn’t seek to fur ther the argument

between Baby Boomers and the X an Y crew. She points out very succinctly that the mere act of creating generational divides is simply a marketing exercise to identify consumer values, and is never indicative of people’s real experience. One person may be living in a housing commission at in Penrith, the other in a beachhouse in Watego’s in Byron Bay. They cannot possibly be ascribed the same values, although social commentators continue to do this through their generational labels. In Adult Themes, Crawford clearly identifies that the playing field has changed distinctly, and the way we ďŹ nd work, form families and engage in politics and culture has radically transformed. Crawford argues that it’s time the debates on social values recognise the variety of ways we choose to live. The gatekeepers of adulthood are asked to cough up the key, as the future is about embracing diversity in a landscape of shared values rather than arbitrar y attributes like age or property ownership. Crawford echoes the sentiments of Nobel Prize winning poet Seamus Heaney, and reiterates that we are in fact hunters and collectors of values on an ongoing quest for meaning. It is not so much what delineates ‘adult’, it is more about the failures and successes on the quest to being human.

Professionalism in glass splashbacks

O

ver the last 5 years Ocean Shores Glass & Screens has endeavoured to increase understanding (amongst both the general public and tradespeople) of what can and cannot be done when applying solid colour backing to glass. This has been an exceptionally worthwhile experience as there has been a noticeable drop off in people saying: ‘I’ve got no idea what you mean and can I give you my house paint to use?’ The so-called ‘back-yarders’ have all but disappeared and a large proportion of other tradespeople have realised the measuring and installation of ‘painted glass’ is not a simple process. At Ocean Shores Glass & Screens we actually mix and apply the formulation in our factory and because we are licensed glaziers we know what the client expects, so we are able to provide a completed installation to the best of industry and Australian standards. Why else would other glazing businesses use us to either apply the formulation

to their own glass splashbacks or recommend us to their clientele as the ‘experts’ in the Ă€eld? Here at Ocean Shores Glass & Screens we appreciate the honesty and professionalism of similar businesses that are now using our services and are still able to continue with their core business and assure their clients of a total packaged job. So if you have a client who needs some information, please do not hesitate to call us on 6680 3333. Even if we’re not doing your job, we’ll deĂ€nitely do our best to help.

Council Roundup

Barrows pushed vigorously in the temple of governance Michael McDonald I have been to the motherefďŹ n mountaintop, to paraphrase Eminem, and it was littered with rocks and crazed prophets, so instead last week I took myself along to the last meeting until August – supposedly – of Byron Shire Council. Everybody else had the same idea and public access was crammed with folk pushing various barrows, in a much more concise and eloquent fashion than councillors managed later. It began with the dogs on beaches debate, which is covered in the news pages. Maggie Tardif spoke in favour of extending the exercise area at Brunswick Heads to one kilometre, while Lance Ferris of Australian Seabird Rescue talked of the danger of dogs to native species, and Andrew Page from the Marine Park Authority was adamant that a 12 month period of grace for miscreants was over and the whip would be coming down. Paul Spooner of the Byron Youth Service and Katie Watts were next up, promoting the beneďŹ ts to young people of the Get Rocked concert to be held at Byron Bay High in September with the support of the state government’s Music NSW program. Later Mayor Jan Barham was

successful 7-3, Crs Tardif, Tucker and Woods opposed, in moving that Council support the event and waive the development application fees. She also got a 6-4 vote to give $15,000 towards the event, with some councillors expressing doubts about the viability of Get Rocked since the gig had fallen over before when a major act pulled out of the lineup. Gayle Russell, the convenor of the North Coast Climate Action Group, spoke in support of Council establishing a sustainability committee and the value of Council having a sustainability ofďŹ cer. Apparently Council is lodged somewhere between Milestones 3 and 4 in some Greenhouse Strategy or another whereas some 60 Australian councils have moved on to Milestone 5. So many miles to go before the apocalypse. The notion of Byron as a green shire ruled by green extremism is certainly a nonsense when you see how other places get along with doing environmentally sensible things without a fuss. Council later resolved 6-4 to establish the committee and to advertise for community representatives. Jeannette Martin, the ĂŠlan vital behind the Mullumbimby Community Garden, urged Council to get a move-on with

establishing said garden on its land next to the Mullumbimby tennis courts near Saltwater Creek rather than hanging about for a consultant to prepare a plan of management, which is required for land classiďŹ ed ‘community’. There are 77 paid-up garden members, said Ms Martin, ‘all busting to get their hands in the dirt’ and willing to pull together with Council to get a draft plan up in three months. Council later resolved 6-4 that Council support the preparation of a Draft Generic Plan of Management for Mullumbimby Sports Fields for general use which includes a community garden. Noted local journalist and standup comedian Bruce McKenzie spoke on behalf of his mum about the distress of permanent residents at Coun-

cil’s Suffolk Park Caravan Park who find they can’t onsell their van sites because the land is classiďŹ ed ‘community’. He described the park as an ideal place to implement an affordable housing policy and hoped that Council would meet with residents to resolve the issue. The problem is a vexing consequence of local residents’ concerns about Council’s attempts to reclassify the land as ‘operational’, being suspicious that it might then be sold for development. Can’t blame them, following Council’s asset fire sale in 1996. Council later voted 8-2 that pending reclassiďŹ cation of the park and/or adoption of a plan of management, Council not issue any leases for occupation of any ‘permanent’ sites on any part of the land; that a workshop be held with Councillors to discuss the issues surrounding Suffolk Park Caravan Park regarding its history, land classiďŹ cation, encroachments, long term leases, future use and development; and that a letter be written to all affected residents to advise them of Council’s resolution.

the sewer – as everybody who lives nearby knows, Sunnybrand holds its effluent in ponds. Mr Young emphasised that Sunnybrand is a major sponsor and supporter of the community and employs 253 people across the region (241 at Byron Bay). In a letter to Council MrYoung had offered to amortise the required payment of $4 million over 20 years with a quarterly payment in line with rate instalments and noted the (now abandoned) concessions on carparking Council had offered to a hostel development on the site of the old council chambers in Byron Bay. According to Mr Young his company has been approached by developers to sell the land but Sunnybrand is keen to keep it for its chicken processing plant. Council later resolved 6-4, against a staff recommendation, that the General Manager be given delegated authority to negotiate an amortisation approach for the payment of section 64 charges and that any negotiated outcome be reported to Council.

got their modiďŹ cations. Michael Worrall, Watego’s Beach resident involved in trafďŹ c engineering for some 30 years, spoke against making Marine Parade and Brownell Drive – parts of the same road – a one way street. He said it would increase the speed of trafďŹ c and make it harder for residents to get out of their drives. He noted the lack of space for pedestrians and the dangerous condition of the road into Watego’s – pedestrians, including mums with prams, forced to walk on the road, shoulders ‘never mowed or graded’. Council later resolved that in view of the objections raised by the residents the existing twoway trafďŹ c ow be retained. During public submissions Paul Spooner reappeared, this time with longtime local resident Norma Forest, 83, arguing for a safer crossing on Ewingsdale Road near the Belongil Creek bridge, following the recent death of Brian Brummell. They also called for the speed to be reduced to 60kmh from BP Ozigo into town and a safety audit of existing cyclepaths. All this before 10.30am, and then the meeting proper.

It may not be significant at first, but eventually we will notice our golf swing is not as smooth, or our reach with the tennis racquet has shrunk. This condition will probably start painlessly. You will notice it takes longer to warm up, and

injuries occur easier and more frequently. Chiropractic care is an ideal way for most people to improve this aspect of life. To make an appointment with Michael or Brent call us on 6685 8159. We are at 52 Shirley Street Byron Bay.

Keeping an Ensemble together has challenges of its own. It’s not like a band where the musicians tend to be fairly ďŹ xed, players come and go.

Karl farren interview p24

Traditionally composers and conductors of classically styled music tend to be men. Rae Howell is the artistic director for the Sunwrae Ensemble, and as the signature composer, player and director, she is pioneering an original and authentic voice in the genre she calls ‘cinematic music.’ To start off with, it’s hard to even ďŹ nd a genre for this 9 piece ensemble that constitutes vibraphone, grand piano, string quartet, alto ute, double bass and drum.

‘Some people call us contemporary classical’, Rae went on to say, ‘but I don’t think we are. They say: you are playing your own music so it’s not really classical. Contemporary music these days is a lot more concept art, I think cinematic music is what comes to mind because it is like something that evokes a vision...’

– there are no rules to composing and no one tells you what is right or wrong, but the most important thing is to ďŹ nd your voice.’ All the members of Rae’s ensemble are classically trained. ‘They have a strong improvisitory background. They know how to listen to each other and can be really solid. At the same time they have the freedom to play around with solos... often I leave sections of the compositions for them to interpret and improvise. It’s important that everyone has their own voice and their input into what they create.’ People talk about the difďŹ culty of touring a band, but how do you get a 9 piece on the road. And man, they sure are mighty big instruments. ‘I don’t have government funding like other ensembles. I don’t want to start to tell you how complicated organising a tour can be, this has been in the running since August last year – it’s not just something I have whipped up. And the instruments are big: harp, vibrophone, they are the bigger

Rae, who majored in composition at Melbourne University heads an ensemble that has been called one of the world’s premiere exponents of what we might call new classical. Interestingly she notes the similarities between the way composers like Mozart and Beethoven made their music. Sunwrae Ensemble doesn’t play the master composers, instead, it does what they did: create new innovative and ground-breaking work. ‘In half of their music, Mozart and Beethoven actually improvised. I am actually getting back to the roots of classical music, but they don’t really accept that, (classical puritans) because it’s big and dramatic. I am just putting my own twist on things

‘The Ensemble changes so much, people come and go, this is the ďŹ rst time I will have the same ensemble for 10 shows in a row. I guess the level of musicianship means that they can sit in or sit out, but the challenge with running an ensemble is that you do have a lot of players going through. I have reached this far with perseverance, a lot of people have helped me along the way. The interesting difference between ensembles and bands, is that bands might break up in a few years time, but I see Sunwrae as my lifelong project, it’s all my original music, and I am taking full responsibility!’ Creating music is an intense experience for Rae, who makes herself even more vulnerable, by also being one of the players. ‘I have had internal troubles about accepting what I do and who I am and the music that I create... because a lot of academics look down on someone like me because it’s not along the lines of traditional music... but there are a lot of conservative listeners and alternative listeners that enjoy it. It’s so luscious, and I think all you need to do is understand that it sounds good to your ears.’ It really tugs on the heart strings – I have cried in performances before while I am playing. Particularly if I am so focused and my head goes back to where I was when I wrote it. I always get a great response from the audience with a huge smile and they hold their hands to their heart.’ The Sunwrae Ensemble also features Kellie O’Dempsey painting in response to the ensemble’s musical creations. The Sunwrae Ensemble plays the Byron Community Centre on Friday. Tickets are $25/$20 and bookings can be made on: 6685 6807 8pm start!

GIVE AWAYS

[ mandy nolan ]

DIARY OF A PEANUT QUEEN Every life is full of regrets. Mine can be summed up in just one sentence. I could have been a Show Queen. But alas, I was never to feel the soft breeze of the satin sash against my skin, or the stab of the crown’s metal pins into my skull, and I was never afforded the opportunity to bask in the radiant glow of success, relishing my maiden speech as Miss Peanut Queen titled: ‘Girls with nuts.’ Perhaps that’s why I became a standup comedian, as a kind of compensation for a broken dream. I grew up in what was popularised in the Bjelke era as ‘Joh-town’. Kingaroy, the peanut capital of Australia. A country town populated by, yep, nuts. The slogans for Mental Health week were

fantastic: ‘We’re Nuts about Nuts’, and of course, what girl could resist the comeon lines of local farmers: ‘Hey darlin, want to have a nibble at me nuts?’ My teenage years were spent in the shadow of enormous red-dirt stained silos, giant agricultural monoliths that cast 100 metre shadows all over town. It’s hard to remember a time in my life that didn’t contain at least traces of nuts. Every man and woman I knew had red stained fingers from pulling out their peanuts from the rich volcanic soil. The soil permeated everything. It stained white thongs pink, red necks even redder, cream shag carpet became salmon overnight and unless you wanted the crimson arse of a baboon on heat, you

never sat down in white jeans. Kingaroy prided itself on having more nuts than anywhere else in the country. (I was born there – are you surprised?) The highlight in the calendar of most country towns is the annual agricultural show. In Pagan times they had a harvest festival, where fertile young virgins would dance in celebration of a bountiful year, but in the absence of virgins and with the genetic memory of charred witches’ flesh still lingering in the nostrils, locals preferred a more sedate occasion: The Show. Children leading prize poddy calves, grown men fondling their hand groomed roosters, glass cases displaying award winning sponge cakes that would never be eaten, and

ferris wheels assembled by carnie types who looked like they couldn’t manage a toothbrush, let alone a spanner. I loved the show. Each year, a vision of beauty would be crowned ‘Miss Peanut Queen’ and she would ride resplendent in taffeta and diamanté astride a giant peanut on the back of a ute. It was always the Doctor’s receptionist, or the bitch from accounts at Massey Ferguson. I came so close. Kingaroy Show, 1984. I am 17 and I have my eye on the crown. In the talent section I danced a solo from the ‘The Nutcracker’. In the public presentation I delivered a show stopping address which I titled: ‘How to enlarge your peanuts.’ Beverly Anne Gadiske and I stood on stage together.

SPLENDOUR IN THE GRASS TIX FOR YOU

I was convinced that I was a dead cert to win because I was the only one with a neck. ‘Miss Peanut Queen, 1984, is Mandy Nolan.’ Flo Bjelke kissed my cheeks and fitted the crown, made entirely from prize winning peanuts onto my head. I was crying. I was so happy. But then I couldn’t breathe, and my throat was puffing up. Suddenly my neck was gone. My tongue swelled and I started foaming at the mouth. I had gone into anaphylactic shock. Beverly Anne Gadiske was crowned Peanut Queen, and I was run out of town, exiled in shame and hatred as that weird freaky girl who was allergic to nuts. I could have been the Nut Queen. Hang on. I think I am.

Yes they are here, and so let the incessant emailling begin. I have a double pass to give away for Splendour and a box of 10 CD’s which I will give to the runner up. Start emailing me with subject header ‘desperate 4 splendour’ to mandypow@echo. net.au Please, only one entry per person! If you are carbon neutral and like to use the post you can post it to Splendour in the Grass Tix Giveaway, The Echo, 6 Village Way, Mullumbimby. 2482.

[ LIVE MUSIC ] * FINAL ACTS FOR SPLENDOUR It’s the hottest ticket in town. Everyone wants a bit of Splendour in the Grass. I have one double pass to giveaway here at The Echo and every week I am absolutely inundated with emails of people begging to win. Everyone has a similar heartbreaking story, some have leukemia with minutes to live and it’s their dying wish to attend, others have sold a kidney on ebay to score a weekend entrance, only to have their kidney rejected and weekend destroyed. I know it’s cruel, but I have to tell you about the final acts released for the program. Man you will sell your own nanna for a ticket through. He’s the bloke that brings women to his knees. Damien Rice, who’s incredible raw and sensual love songs appeared in Closer with Jude Law and Julia Roberts. This Irish singer songwriter’s debut album O was a critical success and his follow-up release 9, entitled in a similarly minimalist fashion, is another outpouring of achingly melancholic and beautiful, introspective folk songs. They’ve been named the most exciting British band since the Sex Pistols and they’re coming to

Splendour. Playing their first gig in September 2005, The Horrors, all big hair, feedback and monochrome clothes. They have played gigs everywhere from LA to Hull and Tokyo, been tipped by Jarvis Cocker as the future of British rock and appeared on the cover of NME after only two singles. They’ve been chased down the street by teenage girls trying to tear out locks of their hair in Rome. They’ve caused $10,000 of damage during a near-riot at a gig in New York after signing to Island Def Jam (home to Kanye West and Jay-Z) in America. Also hailing from Ireland are Ash, power pop belters who will appear at Splendour for the second time. Splendour welcomes one of the most significant singer/songwriters in Australian music history: Mr Paul Kelly. His narrative song writing style is infused with wry observations, bittersweet emotions and enormous appeal. As well as issuing an enduring body of work with his own bands, Kelly has produced and co-produced many artists including Archie Roach’s acclaimed Charcoal Lane album, and had his songs covered by many artists. From Paul Kelly and the Dots to the Coloured Girls and then Paul Kelly

CC | FRIDAY HESTRA | BB SUNRAE ORC

and the Messengers and his solo outings, Paul Kelly is a prolific musician who’s work spans generations and genres. He is the musical everyman. The band Lost Valentinos also perform at SITG for the first time. Known as one of Sydney’s finest proponents of psychedelic dance mania, 2005 saw the band immediately establish themselves as one of the most exciting acts in Sydney’s indie quarters. Also performing are The Beautiful Girls who, for the past six months, have been locked away in studios from Sydney to LA, putting the finishing touches on their third studio album, Ziggurats, released in June. Their 2006 release of the We’re Already Gone album received rave reviews and had critics highlighting the diversity of the trio. In Australia the album picked up an ARIA award nomination, a J award nomination, two songs in the JJJ Hottest 100 and high rotation on radio across the country. Ziggurats is another curve in the band’s sound. Saturday and Sunday, 4 & 5 August.

GET INTO THE GROOVE Armed with an explosive horn section, fierce percussion, rock-steady guitar riffs, skankin’ drum-beats & bottom heavy bass lines, De Jah Groove are a powerhouse of energy erupting in the heart of Australian music. Driven by sheer hard work and heavy adrenalin, this sixheaded reggae beast is fast becoming the most popular and professional unsigned band in the Australian soundscape. After a hectic 6 months recording their debut

album at Sing Sing Studios in Melbourne (entirely selffunded), De Jah Groove are back on the road to rock their fourth major east coast tour. This six-piece ‘Renegade Reggae’ outfit is playing 15 shows up the coast from the snowfields to Coolum Beach. The debut album will be released this year in Australia, and also internationally at a later date. De Jah Groove play the Beach Hotel on Friday and Saturday.

GIVING BERTHA TO SEDITION The soul sisters of rebel reggae and funk, Bertha Control, are set to release their second full length album, Songs of Sedition. The release will be launched through the hills of Northern NSW, at The Zoo in Brisbane and right up to the Sunshine Coast throughout July with the aid of some amazing support acts from these areas. The eagerly awaited release is a global cacophony of reggae, funk and the soulful harmonies they are so well loved for. Bertha Control have sold out shows in Brisbane, Melbourne and Northern NSW and have catapulted captivated audiences right down the east coast of Australia to their feet with their infectious grooves and worldly message. Songs of Sedition is their third release and beautifully captures their live feel with a collection of amazing reggae, funk and ska tunes. Flawless the songwriter explains: Songs of Sedition is the musical manifestation of the rollercoaster of the last two years of our lives. It is a dancing road trip of epic proportions.

Never say never (they say)... This maxim could never be more true than in the case of the reformed original Dinosaur Jr. The rift seemingly so bad between singer/guitarist J Mascis and bass player Lou Barlow, that Mascis informed Barlow that the band was breaking up, only to reform it the very next day albeit with a new bass player! Lou Barlow would go on to carve a niche for himself via his inuential bands Sebadoh, The Folk Implosion and as a solo artist, and Dinosaur Jr would also carry on (without Barlow and even later without drummer Murph) for a few years yet, but by 1997 it was all over. Time heals all wounds though (they say), and in 2005, some 16 years after that initial break up, Lou Barlow rejoined his fellow band mates: J Mascis and drummer Murph in a reformed Dinosaur Jr for a series of hugely received, ear shattering shows all around the world. The reunion going so well that a brand new album Beyond – arguably their best yet – was recorded and released in 2007 to further critical (and fan) acclaim. And if all this warm fuzzy feeling wasn’t enough, Lou Barlow, at the invite of J Mascis, has begun to play the occasional opening solo spot to his own band!

8 BALLS OF FIRE With a hot swamp-rock sound straight out of Far North Queensland’s Mareeba Delta, 8 Ball is an authentic Australian hippie-cowboy export. Having recently returned from a successful USA tour, with gigs in exotic locales including New York, Nashville, Connecticut, Los Angeles and even Fiji on the return leg, 8 Ball Aitken says he is excited about returning to play in Byron Bay. ‘We played two shows at the East Coast Blues & Roots Festival in Byron Bay this year, and I believe they are some of our best performances to date,’ enthuses 8 Ball, a former tropical North Queensland banana picker. ‘There’s something special about the people and the place. Byron Bay brings out the best in us, every time we have played here so far; the dance oor has packed out in the ďŹ rst song. That is the ultimate compliment for us as musicians, who love a fun crowd.’ Still touring in support of his most recent CD release, Odd Ball In, 8 Ball Aitken has pulled in for a pit stop and several quick gigs on the East Coast before embarking on his third Japanese tour that will take him to his next big festival appearance, headlining the mountain top festival ‘Rokko Sun Music’. He is being brought to Japan by the same promoter who imports the Red Hot Chilli Peppers.’The Japanese seem to like our organic, Aussie roots sound, which is why I am getting some good breaks over there,’ explains 8 Ball, ‘They often yell out “outu-backu!â€? which means outback. It is always a wild gig when I play there -- they can’t help wanting to touch my red beard, and will even stagedive for toy koalas! Japan is a fascinating, ancient culture immersed in the modern world, and it’s got a rapidly expanding music market. The Japanese are on the cutting edge of pop, and you never know what weird thing is going to happen next in the cool hangouts’ he concludes. After spending many years labouring in the mangos and banana plantations of Far North Queensland, 8 Ball began performing as a 15 year old. He’s now developed his musical passion into a full time profession and left the farm-work behind. International touring to major rock festivals is a dream he never thought could come true, especially after his high school guidance counsellor advised him to give up his music, in favour of becoming a bricklayer.

then hitch-hiked south to the Big Smoke of Bris Vegas. ‘I believe that everybody has a special talent, and it is only a matter of figuring out what it is, then following through with action,’ explains 8 Ball, ‘I encourage everyone I meet to believe in themselves and follow their dreams. New generations of young people are always at a stage where what they choose to do with their lives affects the rest of their lives, and I like to promote creativity and positive thinking.’ Shake the cold weather from your bones with 8 Ball Aitken at the Rails on Sunday from 6pm.

WELCOME MATT New Australian talent Matt Seaberg has sling-shot to notoriety and credibility

with his debut album, Geminis Many Sides. For an independent musician with little funding, and no industry knowledge or backing to receive national Australian airplay 2 weeks after his debut release is phenomenal. Along with producers, UK legend Paul Gomersall (Blur, Kate Bush, George Michael) and Mark Ward (OZ rock icon) Matt chose 9 songs from a catalogue of over 200 songs he has penned at the ridiculous number of gigs he has performed in recent years. Matt possesses a plethora of vocal styles and has a smorgasbord of influences. Some people can hear Chilli Peppers and Zappa, others hear Buckley or Led Zepplin, Neil Finn and The Beatles, Jamiroquai and Dave

Matthews. Yet, the album has a continuity and captivating sound that pervades all its tracks. Matt plays the Hotel Great Northern on Friday.

VISTA SOUNDS The Byron Vista In Concert Series present the pick of the crop of local singer/ songwriters and musicians. It’s long been the dream of Mook and Shanto Bahloo to bring the music and talents of this region to a bigger stage. Last year they ran the popular Byron Vista Social Club at Ewingsdale Hall and presented a series of concerts that have been beautifully recorded and now represent a significant slice of the incredible talent in the area. They presented their Pacific Songwriters Festival

and now they are in the next phase of their vision, to work in conjunction with Bay FM, presenting a series of fundraising events that are recorded and will eventually form the basis for regular live to air performances. It just keeps getting better, join them at the Byron Community Centre on Thursday when the Vista is treated to the musical genius of Gyan and friends.

BAKER AT THE BIRDY The Vanesa Baker Band plays an eclectic mix of deep groove, old skool funk and contemporary SoulnRnB. The live show is a booty shakin’, soul groovin’, spirit lifting experience. Vanessa’s vocals have graced the recorded and live work of countless Australian groove and funk projects including Tracky Dax, Deni Hines, Kurtis, Junkbeats, Jacky Orzasky. She has also worked extensively with members of acts such as Paul

Mac, Skunk Hour, and Sydney underground dance label Future Classics as her own diverse recordings and live performances. Vanessa has just relocated to the northern rivers region to incubate and record her first original solo project. Joining her in this quest for truth, justice and the futurefunkadelicment are locally based musicians Sam Shine (guitar), whose credits include various funk and RnB outfits in Sydney and elsewhere, Khari Simmons (bass) fresh out of Atlanta and a former mainstay of the India Arie band and local drumming tyro Sam Stanley. She performs with her band at the Blue Birdy on Wednesday. Also don’t miss legendary singer Jo Jo Smith the following week.

WELL LOVED DIVA RETURNS TO BYRON If you say to anyone around here, god do you remember Jo Jo Smith? If they say no, then it’s a fair indication

they have only been here for 5 years or so. Jo Jo is no stranger to these parts. Known for her soulful voice, powerful, warm and full of passion, she is returning to Byron for one show only. With groove masters Greg Lyon on bass, Steve Russell on piano, Dave Sanders on drums, Geoff Wright on guitar, Tony Buchannan on saxophone and Leigh Carriage on vocals. Jo Jo is fondly remembered as the lead vocalist with funk band Hip Pocket in the 80s and early 90s. Jo Jo is now living in Victoria playing in various lineups. Recently thrilling her audience at The Boite Music Cafe and The Brunswick Music Festival. Don’t miss this opportunity to hear one of Australia’s great singers at the Blue Birdy on Wednesday 11 July.

GET ON YOUR HIGH HORSE As if anybody is going to leave the cosy comfort of their lounge room, the fire crackling and warm, a hot choccy steaming in their hands to go out to see a band on a midwinter’s night. HighHorse who are Liz Nankervis (guitar vocals) Steve ‘Zoom’ Sanchez on bass and Phil Ashworth on drums hope you will make the effort to get to Bangalow Pub on Saturday. Their music is a kind of country phunk fusion set up with blue overtones. And remember Bangalow Hotel has an open fireplace, cosy booths and two pool tables.

IT’S A PROUD MOMENT FOR KARL FARREN, HE’S JUST GIVEN BIRTH TO HIS VERY FIRST SOLO ALBUM: AN IMPRESSIVE DARK AND SOMETIMES GOTHIC DEBUT TITLED: REPENTANCE CREEK. For Karl, one of the key players in the Mullumbimby Folk Club, it’s been something he’s been cooking up for some time now. ‘I have been planning to do it for the last few years. But as an independent musician there are a few challenges, like finance: you have to do it yourself. Then there’s the legistics of getting a bunch of musicians together. The better you plan the more you keep the costs down. ‘It’s a whole different process

to playing live. I’ve been writing with the mind of performing, so when I went into the studio, I had to work out arrangement, get charts and get people to learn parts. Early on in the process I decided that I would just give them a chord chart and see what they came up with. I am a bit of a control freak, so it was a deliberate choice. You never know what people are going to come up with, for example I am not a keyboard player, so I don’t know what a keyboard player is going to come up with. I still have the final say, but it’s interesting handing over. I remember reading a Pete Townsend interview about The Who. No matter what he wrote he had to hand it over to the monster, The Who, and it would came out completely different. ‘It was an interesting process for me just handing that over and I was really pleased with what people came up with. Music often is a collaborative thing. If I am going to get people to collaborate and I am

hiring a musician, not just a pair of hands, I want to give the musician a chance to bring something to the table. I got some comments, like, I hope I can come up with somehting that’s OK, so I guess there is the extra responsibility for players.’ Repentance Creek features songs that have been road tested live, and some that have only been played a few times. Selecting the tunes wasn’t a challenge for Karl, once he’d set the tone. The tone was set by the name: Repentance Creek. ‘It’s such a great name, to me it has this slightly sinister 19th centrury gothic American civil war feel. I heard some stories about it, one was about the cedar getters and they would put a mark on the tree to designate whose log was whose and they’d float it down the river. One time someone was changing the marks, there was a dispute about it the other guy who was jibbed was walking by and said ‘you will repent on

this’. The guy who’d changed the marks on the logs was shamed and went off and hanged himself.’ Being an Irish Catholic boy Karl admits to a certain fascination with religious language. ‘There’s a death ballad on there called Chickabee. That has fascinated me: in John Steinbeck the most loving thing you can do for someone is to kill them. It’s in ‘Of Mice and Men’, and Steinbeck is beautiful at creating the sense of place and character and that notion stuck with me... there is a long tradition in folk music for murder ballads... it’s in the catholic upbringing: the fascination with death and blood. The central notion of the religion after all is a blood sacrifice!’

Karl recorded with coproducer Antony Payne at Rocking Horse Studios, something Karl admits to being a very symbiotic relationship. But nothing compares to seeing your creation for the first time! ‘It was exciting seeing the box coming – it was a thrill! It was the first time I had seen it in it’s finished form, I hadn’t held it in my hand before, there were so many decisions: not just musical ones. I have been a musical obsessive my whole life. It’s a tactile thing. That’s why it’s in a cardboard folder because you pick it up and handle it. It’s tricky but one of those things that lets down a lot of indepently packaged CD’s because are when they look cheap and amateurish.

It’s a beautiful moody and even romantic album. I asked Karl finally if he defined himself as a Romantic? ‘I am a romantic by nature and cynic by practise. Although you hit the romantic very soon, I have a thin veneer at any time, I am a big wuss, I think that romanticism comes through on the album.’ Mary Cannon is doing a feature on her show on BAY FM on Wednesday from 6-8pm and Karl will be playing songs from Repentance Creek live in the studio. Karl Farren launches his new CD at Ewingsdale Hall on Saturday from 7.30pm with special guest performers. It’s $5 on the door and the CD is available on the night for $20. (It will usually retail for $25)

COMEDY STANDUP WITH AUSTEN There is nothing quite as exciting as an Austen Tayshus comedy performance. The audience is literally poised on the edge of its seats as the Big Man of Australian comedy engages in a relentless, rapid ďŹ re satirical assault. Its funny, frightening, ďŹ erce and informed. This is not just a collection of gags thrown together with a couple of catchy punchlines. Austen’s humour is about who we are and how we think and what happened in the cultural melting pot to make us that way. He plays provocateur to our values and measures them against our rather shaky identity as ‘Australian’. Austen Tayshus has been around since 1981, when a much younger Ray Ban-wearing loudmouth ďŹ rst burst onto the scene with his ‘83 hit Australiana. It sold over 200,000 units and went double platinum. There’s been probably 10,000 gigs in between: this one man comic rampage is relentless. In 1997, Austen wrote and starred in Intolerance – a ďŹ lm based on a true experience that developed into one of his stage routines. Intolerance won best ďŹ lm and Austen won the best actor award in tropfest. Austen’s appearance on Andrew Denton’s Enough Rope on ABC TV was highly acclaimed and watched by over one million people around Australia. Currently Austen is co-writing his ďŹ rst lead-role feature ďŹ lm with Robert Lewis Galinsky entitled, The Mudrock Briefs which will be released in late 2007. The ďŹ lm is slated to be directed by veteran Scott Roberts (The Hard Word). He is also starring in Doin the Splits, an Australian-US coproduction to be released in late 2008. He is joined on stage by one of the brightest new voices in Australian comedy: Josh Thomas. Josh was the youngest winner of RAW comedy in 2005, when at the tender age of 17 he took home the rubber chicken. This year he was voted best newcomer at Melbourne International Comedy Festival and in just one week after his Byron gig he jets off to Montreal Comedy Festival. I’ll be there as resident MC now 20 kilos lighter, and only 5 kilos away from selling her

And the big question is asked: Brad Pitt or George Clooney? I’d say deďŹ nitely George Clooney. Great actor and a real old fashioned cad. And that’s sexy. Pretty boy Brad is just a designer t-shirtwearing pram pusher. Join in this vigorous and lifechanging debate!

LIVE EARTH The North Coast Climate Action Group will be hosting a Friends of Live Earth event with a viewing of the Sydney concert on the big screen at the Bangalow Hotel on Saturday from 11am. For

THIS WEEK’S ASTRAL EMPHASIS IS ON FAMILY GATHERINGS, SOCIAL RELATIONSHIPS AND HOME IMPROVEMENTS – BUT WITH RETRO MERCURY’S GLITCHES, QUIRKS AND MISBEHAVING COMMUNICATIONS STILL OPERATING IT PAYS TO DOUBLE CHECK PAPERWORK, FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, ITINERARIES, INSURANCE, TIMETABLES AND ARRANGEMENTS.

ARIES: If your vision isn’t immediately accepted this week, the challenge is ďŹ nding a way to re-present it that’s likely to get the most favourable reception. Right now you’re better off sticking with what

LIBRA: You’ll probably need to take a break from some people this week – while others may need to take a break from you. Keeping your distance from what doesn’t directly concern you is highly recommended. And if you don’t feed dramas they’ll subside sooner...

CANCER: People have their guards up this week – you included. Getting through this protective armour will take patient and understanding dismantling, rather than trying to pierce weak spots with blame or accusation. Because in some peoples’ opinions, no pain... is good.

SCORPIO: If your personal demons start acting up this week – and it’s on the cards – suppressing them might only end up in an explosion. So give them a job instead – make creative use of their energy by putting them to work for a positive cause.

LEO: Venus in Leo makes this week about partnerships: marital, professional, friends, allies and inuential contacts.

ÂˆÂ˜ĂŒiĂ€Â˜iĂŒ

Ă•ÂŤvĂ€ÂœÂ˜ĂŒ

SAGITTARIUS: This week the ancient Greeks honored Athena, goddess of wisdom. And for

positive results during this touchy time, your wisest move when an opportunity to shut up presents itself, is to take it. With communication a mineďŹ eld of misunderstandings, the less said this week the better. CAPRICORN: Now that the Saturn/Neptune opposition’s stopped blocking and disintegrating your plans, that sense of weighty responsibilities sending your dreams receding into never-never land seems to lessen. This week everything starts to look more do-able. AQUARIUS: This isn’t the year’s most exuberantly userfriendly week – more a time of personal nurturing and deep listening to your inner needs. Brighten other people’s lives with your wild enthusiasms by all means, but don’t use that as an excuse to neglect your own. PISCES: Take note if you ďŹ nd yourself repeating past errors. Or letting others drain your energy this week – which isn’t a good one for making promises, signing documents or starting new projects. Wait till mid next week when everything’s a lot more promising.

VIRGO: Others are extremely receptive – and reactive – to your moods this week, so if you’re experiencing anxiety, expressions of love and appreciation are important to balance out the effect of those worry vibes. Just relax and this could be an extremely juicy week.

GEMINI: With another week still to go of your ruling planet Mercury’s second annual retrograde, extra care with cash, valuables and contractual agreements is indicated. If signing anything establish beforehand exactly what conditions apply, and allow extra time for getting to appointments.

Television Guide 1. The Chaser (seen here advertising themselves beside an Icelandic glacier) are repeating their best bits on ABC, Wednesdays 9pm. 2. Antonio Banderas (right) stars as an Islamic warrior helping a bunch of beserker norsemen ďŹ ght off a supernatural horror in The 13th Warrior (Prime, Saturday night at half past midnight). Sounds naff enough but it’s surprisingly atmospheric and convincing. 3. The staff at Hogwarts agitate for an increase in their clothing allowance. Harry Potter and the something something or other drags its slow length on to NBN again, Saturday, 7.30pm.

TRANSFORMERS Two Panadols and a jug of De Bertoli’s is what I sedated myself with after the mayhem of this incredibly loud but otherwise witty and satisfying sci-ďŹ smashorama. Shia LaBeouf, the grounded kid from ‘Disturbia’, reprises that role, playing Sam, the motor mouth teenager who unknowingly comes into possession of a car that can turn itself into one of the benevolent giant robots that have come to Earth seeking the miraculous cube that sustains life on their planet. Again he falls for the unattainable chick, Mikaela, who, again, turns out to be not so unattainable after all as the pair contributes to the struggle against inter galactic tyranny and the bad robots who are after the same cube. There is a lot of quick, subversive humour (a Police Dept’s motto is ‘to punish and enslave’) which, with a ďŹ ne cast, allows the ďŹ lm to retain a welcome lightness of touch. John Turturro’s Agent Simmons is as demented and deluded as any of the oddballs in Dr Strangelove, Tasmanian Rachael Taylor, allowed to retain her broad Australian accent, is sexy and savvy as a computer wunderkind and Sam’s gauche urban parents threaten to steal the show, particularly during a masturbation joke that drew a stony silence from the boys in the crowd. Of course they could never do that, what with the producers having spent enough money on their special effects and remarkable robots to house and feed for a lifetime the wretched poor of

Darfur. OfďŹ ce buildings are pulverised, tanks and other machinery go ying through the air and cars are totalled at the rate of about three a minute, but, despite the excessive violence (and it is violence, not just action), there is no bloodshed, or even any visible casualties. Profane language is also noticeably absent and, in accordance with the unwritten law of the Playstation ick, there is no sex. It’s on Sam’s mind, of course, and you know that when the dust has settled he and Mikaela will be rooting like rabbits. The metal monsters are brilliant creations and I’ll be damned if director Michael Bay doesn’t manage to eke out a strong emotional moment when one of them, Bumble Bee, is trapped, like King Kong, by hostile humans. As the lights went up at the end of the movie it looked like the last

humungous rumble had taken place in the cinema itself, so strewn was it with litter from the candy shop. Grubs. John Campbell

DEATH OF A PRESIDENT

the walls of reality have been breached and you ďŹ nd yourself totally absorbed in a ‘real life’ drama, the scenes becoming uncannily realistic (and, in the case of the funeral, ethically questionable). The US, and consequently the rest of the world, is a different place from what it was pre 9/11. Anxiety, mistrust and fear have become tools of government. Measures such as the Patriot Act, taken in response to the threat of terror, have impinged like none before them on the basic liberties of a free society. If there is a culture war happening out there, it’s hard not to concede that it is the West that is losing it, as, like a mad dog chasing its tail, it abandons all of the values that its enemies are contemptuous of. This movie looks at why and how that is happening. John Campbell

TABLE TA TAL LK

CHEFS’ DINNERS About ďŹ ve years ago Darryl Kinneally from Cape Byron Foods started up a series of Chefs’ Dinners around the Shire as a way to introduce and showcase new products. This great initiative has been taking place at least twice a year since then in conjunction with Fruitos, local suppliers of fruit and vegetables; a venue is selected and about ďŹ fty chefs and members of the hospitality industry invited along. Apart from introducing chefs to exciting new lines and products and enabling them to sample them, the Dinners are a valuable opportunity for networking, exchanging ideas and simply having the sort of fun night out their profession obliges them to create for the rest of us. The most recent one, a lavish 8-course affair held at Utopia in Bangalow, featured several dishes using Jingilli Olive Oil, an Australian oil voted one of the top ďŹ ve best extra virgins by Choice magazine (June 2007) out of 28 Australian and imported oils tested. BEACH CAFE ON WAY Plans for the revamping of the iconic Beach CafĂŠ at Clarkes Beach are still in progress. Successful tenderer Ben Kirkwood, he of dish fame, and his planner Rob Doolan turned up at council public access last Thursday to argue for a few modiďŹ cations to their plans. Mr Kirkwood, who is developing the cafĂŠ in conjunction with wife Belinda and father John, reiterated earlier reported remarks that he would keep the friendly community atmosphere created by Peter Saulwick when he ran the cafĂŠ before the Lands department grabbed the asset from Byron council. He said he was ‘overwhelmed’ by the support expressed by community members and was keen to see locals reclaim their ‘birthright of breakfast’ by the beach. Now there’s a birthright we haven’t heard of before. That’s grounds for coffee. Sorry. LOG ON, MENU UP You arrive late in a big city and all you want is a meal cooked by a restaurant, but you just don’t have the energy to leave your accommodation. The online restaurant booking service menulog.com.au has now launched a national home delivery service. Log on to menulog.com.au’s search engine and choose a dish from any of the 350 restaurants on offer in Sydney, Melbourne, and Canberra. Byron Bay also gets a guernsey and the service offers 47 local restaurants. We managed to get results for ‘sushi’ and ‘pizza’ but not for ‘pubs’ - maybe the Northern, the Beachy and the Rails are too famous to need listing. NATURE’S POWERHOUSES Throughout history herbs and spices have been acknowledged not only for their avours but also their health beneďŹ ts. Recent studies have conďŹ rmed that herbs and spices are rich sources of antioxidants. Dietitian Karen Inge has nominated her top four herbs to be included in everyone’s diet, not only for taste, but also for health. They are – drum roll, please – garlic, ginger, oregano and basil. Garlic is rich in allium compounds which are released once the garlic is crushed. These compounds may support the immune system. Using garlic in cooking can also make signiďŹ cant changes to saturated fat in meals by switching from butter and cream sauces to using the good oils and fragrant aromatic herbs and spices such as garlic. Rich in antioxidants, ginger has traditionally been used as a remedy for relieving the symptoms of nausea, especially morning sickness in pregnant women and travel sickness. Oregano has a very rich antioxidant capacity, far higher than most vegetables and many fruits. The herb also has natural antimicrobial properties which assist in reducing the risk of bacterial contamination of food. Basil is also a good source of antioxidants and phytonutrients. It is also recognised for its high levels of bioactive components and its ability to aid digestion by speeding food movement from the stomach. It’s all part of a PR pitch for Gourmet Garden (www.gourmetgarden. com/au/kitchen) but their site is worth a visit for recipes and advice on healthy eating. You don’t have to buy herbs in tubes, however – they will grow without much fuss in your garden.

A friend once gave me a pincushion which read ‘Never trust a skinny cook’, and I carried it from house to house over a decade, propping it up on the windowsills of whatever kitchen I happened to be in. The thing is that chefs, like opera singers, used to be fat. Some time ago these two proponents of artistic expression dispensed with stereotype and a new breed of both evolved: sexy slender sopranos and lean rockstar-groovy chefs with their own television shows and a book just out. Up here I found three thin chefs cheerful enough about their lanky frames to allow me to embarrass them. Graeme Stockdale is a very tall man who matches the kitchen he runs at Bangalow’s Utopia, a long skinny space where he whips up food of a mostly Mediterranean persuasion. It wasn’t always like this: between Utopia and its sister cafĂŠ/restaurant Fresh in Byron Bay he was turning out superb Thai dishes at Bang Thai. It was a trip to Singapore and Malaysia in his late teens that opened his eyes to the joys of food and cooking, the textures and the avours and the fragrances. Born in Albany, WA, he was the son of a ‘meat and three veg’ cook but after that life-altering trip he set out on a single-minded journey toward becoming a chef, nagging the chef at his local pub to give him a job. From there it was to Thredbo where that same pub chef had several restaurants; within a month Graeme was head-chef at one of them and, three years later, he and his chef-wife made the move to Byron Bay. No apprenticeship, just learning on the job, and an almost obsessive sponge-like capacity to learn which continues to this day. Days off will ďŹ nd Graeme still cooking, trying out new dishes, hosting dinners for friends, making everything from scratch, still reading relentlessly. He’s 6 ft.4â€? tall and currently the heaviest he has ever been, ďŹ ve kilos up on his average, though with all that height how could you tell? A hop, skip and jump down the road at his restaurant Satiate, Shannon Debreceny exudes that same passion in his own quiet and gentle way. Shannon only looks about ďŹ fteen years old and yet his culinary background is formidable. He grew up in Port Macquarie on the Mid North Coast and after school moved to Sydney, undergoing his apprenticeship (from Home Science onward he had always known what he wanted to be) with the Mode Group, which did catering, functions and restaurants within such institutions as the Art Gallery of NSW and the Town Hall. After four years there he secured a job with the mighty Tetsuya where he remained for another two, one of sixteen chefs in a restaurant doing 120 covers ďŹ ve nights a week. From there it was to Bangalow where, together with partner Shawna, he ďŹ rstly set up an up-market deli called Ate then the sublime degustation-only restaurant upstairs called Satiate, which continues to ourish. Shannon loves pizzas and currently loud spicy Spanish food but he has always been a thin man and really, there is no justice. My third thin chef is Colin Bond from dish restaurant in Byron Bay, whose owner Ben Kirkwood suggested that chefs these days are thinner ‘because we work them harder’. Colin’s a South Coast boy, born and raised in Moruya to a mother who ran a simple restaurant, so there it was in the blood. He started cooking in Moruya then moved to Sydney but really only wanted to travel, which is how he ended up working on chartered boats and yachts around Europe. He did actually stack on about ten kilos in that period due to enforced immobility for days, weeks on end. Barely back in the country after several years of that he was offered the job at dish, where he is cooking truly lovely French-inspired food, and where his weight has returned to his normal lean surfer’s mass. Having eaten food cooked by all these skinny cooks, I can vouch for their trustworthiness – at least in the kitchen!

Sports Roundup with John Campbell Grouse grommets gravitate to Lennox

Byron’s Garrett Parkes at the Occy Grom Comp at the Gold Coast on Monday. Phot Steve Robertson.

The Rusty Gromfest is without a doubt the original and the best contest for up and comers on the surfing calendar. Past winners at this illustrious tournament are Stephanie Gilmore, Bede Durbridge and current ASP World Championship Ratings leaders Mick Fanning.This year’s event, the twelfth since its inception in 1996, will be held at Lennox Head from Friday, July 6 to the following Monday, with Tuesday July 10 in reserve as a back up day. Keen judges are already talking of the quality of entrants as being the best ever, with Byron Bay’s Garrett

Parkes (pictured), fresh from his sensational success in the world junior titles in Portugal, sure to be among the leading lights. Of the other young talent that will be on show, Laura Enever (Narrabeen), Todd Rosewall (Jan Juc), Ryan Hawker (NZ), Murray Antonieff (Stradbroke) and Tamaroa McComb (Tahiti) also have great things expected of them. These are just a small sample of the ďŹ eld’s gifted young surfers from Australia and New Zealand, along with overseas tyros, many having already attained national and international titles. With age divisions for boys

and girls across 12, 14 and 16 years, around 330 board riders in all will turn out and, with entries closed, there is an enormous reserve list on standby. Organisers and founders of the Rusty Gromfest, Max Perrot and Kellie O’Brien, summed up the enthusiasm surrounding the eagerly anticipated event, saying ‘a new era is being heralded at this year’s Gromfest. Attention will also be drawn to the undiscovered talent which is bound to emerge, with innovative turns to match the enthusiasm of the crowd. We are set to go on Friday!’

Uneasy lies the head The Byron Bay Rams continued the unsteady defence of their premiership crown with a 3-3 draw against Goonellabah on Saturday. Playing at home, the Rams got away to a great start and were leading 2-0 after just ten minutes, thanks to goals from Jordy Campbell and Patrick L’Orange.The visitors pulled one back but Campbell scored again before the break and, thanks to a ďŹ ne penalty save from Kai Connell, at 3-1 the Bay would surely have considered themselves good things to get the points and end what has been for them a series of unsatisfactory returns. Byron’s second half showing was less impressive and, compounded by injuries, the Rams were lucky to hold on to the draw as Goonnellabah got to even stevens courtesy of Ben Andrews’ beautiful volley past the keeper. The ultimate capitulation was avoided when, as full time approached, Goonnellabah twice found the woodwork instead of the back of the net. Byron are still comfortable on 19 points, third in the FNC comp, but they know that they need to ďŹ nd consistency in their game if they are to repeat the triumphs of the past two seasons.

Podium finish for local girl in Wild West Lenox Head triathlete Pip Taylor has continued her fine form overseas by finishing third in the Battle at Midway Triathlon in Utah. It was a terrific effort from Pip, given that she only arrived at the venue, which is six thoudsand feet above sea level, the day before and was competing against opponents who had been training at altitude in Boulder, Colorado.

Though not good enough on the day to beat home fellow Australian and three times ITU World Champion, Emma Snowsill, Pip was well in the hunt and led the winner by ten seconds after the swim before losing the lead in the bike ride. In the thin mountain air, she was overtaken in the ďŹ nal mile by Canadian Lauren Groves in one of the most gruelling runs on the international circuit.

Opportunities for netball prodigies The North Coast Academy of Sport is seeking applications for its new Netball 15yrs Talented Athlete Program (TAP). To be eligible for selection athletes must turn 15 in 2007, be playing with a North Coast netball club and be available to attend selection trials at Coffs Harbour on Sunday August 21. The TAP squad concept has been developed in response to Netball Australia’s introduction of an Australian 17 and Under Team. It is designed to ensure that current 15 year old girls from the North Coast and other areas of NSW will have a development pathway that identiďŹ es and develops those with the potential to progress

to state squads, and ultimately, the national team. Once selected, the NCAS 15s TAP Squad will prepare for the 2007 ASI Clubs NSW Academy Games. These games will be used to identify and select a squad who will become members of the Netball NSW Talented Athlete Program. Additionally, Netball NSW selectors will, from their observations made at the Academy Games select three speciďŹ c development squads, namely the 15 Years Talent Identification Squad, the Highly Commended Squad and the Tall Timbers squad. Applications close on July 16 and must be made on the application form available from www.ncas.org.au

Sports Roundup with John Campbell

The game that has found its feet and is ready to roll John Campbell Soccer or football, whichever you prefer, has been for too long the sleeping giant of Australian sport, perennially on the verge of taking off and becoming the mega entertainment that it is overseas. Events at Kaiserslautern in June 2006 provided the game in Oz with its greatest boost for yonks. Who didn’t go up when Tim Cahill slotted the ball into the back of the net in Australia’s opening game against Japan, becoming Australia’s first ever goal scorer at the World Cup ďŹ nals? And who didn’t go completely spare when John Aloisi dribbled through the defence to shoot in that scintillating third? But for mine, the memory most touching, the one that will linger longest, is of Rale Rasic after the game against Croatia. Rale, if you’ll remember, was coach of the Australian team led by Peter Wilson that made it to the World Cup, also in Germany, in 1974. It was, until 2006, our only appearance on sport’s biggest and most watched stage. In last year’s tie against Croatia, we needed a draw to progress to the second stage of the tournament. Nobody had really given the team much hope of getting beyond the preliminaries, but, after defeating the Japs

Juventus v Celtic at Goonengerry. Picture by John Campbell

and playing brilliantly against Brazil, suddenly anything was possible. Australia trailed 0-1 after a Zelco ‘Spider’ Kalac howler in goal and it seemed we were doomed. Then cool Harry Kewell got the equaliser, and the boys had done it. Back in the SBS studios, at some ungodly hour in the morning, was the panel of experts, Rale among them. Jowlier now, and with his hair turned silver, he sat with a green and gold scarf

wrapped around his neck. When the camera closed in on him you could see that his eyes were brimming with tears. I’d be the last bloke to have a dig at Rale for for being so lachrymose (I cried just in the previews of Eight Below), so I went out in sympathy with him. It has been a long road to hoe for Rale and the true believers. As fans, we all invest our strongest passions in the sport that we know best

and, almost invariably, it is the one that we grew up with. In my case it’s rugby league. But attending an inner city school at which names such as Kaladelfos, Mavromades, Bertocchi and Rissicato were commonplace, I was exposed to the round ball game at an early age. I could not make head nor tail of it and, like my Anglo mates, referred to it derisively as wogball (and don’t think for one minute that our Mediterranean cousins didn’t make

fun of us in return). At the back of the paper, buried behind the usual four or ďŹ ve pages of league, you would find reports of matches played between strange sounding sides in vertically striped jerseys; Yugal, Pan Hellenic, Hakoah, Apia. The establishment of these clubs was of inestimable worth to migrants newly arrived in this country who, as is only natural, sought out their own kind to help cope with the challenges of a new environment. But the clubs’ exclusiveness was unarguably a hindrance to the development of the game in the broader community. We’ve all moved on since those days, with the overdue decision to abandon the ethnically based competitions in favour of a professional, nationally based premiership a watershed. Two seasons in and the A-League, successor to the NSL, is ourishing, if not yet to the point where it is strong enough to challenge the two rugbys and ‘rules for a decent share of the winter market.’ I’ve been willing it to happen since my road to Damascus moment in England many moons ago. Living in London, it seemed only logical that I should check out a game (‘when in Rome, do as the Romanians’ has been a lifelong credo), so I got the tube to Stamford Bridge and

paid a scalper ten quid to watch Chelsea host Man U. It was a thrilling, end to end contest (Blues 1 Red Devils 3). In it I missed league’s raw physicality, but I enjoyed the other skills on show. Henceforth I became a regular at White Hart Lane, Highbury, and Loftus Road (home to QPR, my team sigh) and even learnt to accept the validity of a nil all draw, a scoreline which, probably more than anything, has curtailed the game’s growth in the more reward-oriented US. This month the Socceroos (don’t you reckon it’s time they lost that naf nickname?) are competing in the Asian Cup. Our presence there – and it won’t be just to make up the numbers – is testament to the quality of player we are now producing and, more than that, is a further step in Australia’s self realisation of its place in the world.

All’s well that ends well at Donnelly Field John Campbell It was as cold as charity on Saturday evening at the Les Donnelly Field. The NRRRL A Grade ďŹ xture between the Mullum Giants and the Tweed Coast Raiders was delayed owing to a serious injury in the reserves. Late in the second half, a Raiders player went down in a seemingly innocuous tackle, but he didn’t move after it. For half an hour trainers knelt over the youngster and kept him motionless in the northwest corner of the ground, with the scoreboard and glowing red light of the stopped clock as irrelevant props to the drama unfolding. A sponsors’ function was being catered to in the club house at the other end of the ďŹ eld and kids played touch footy at half way after it was announced that the game had been abandoned. Blankets were brought to protect the boy from the chill. It was not the sort of night that you’d want to hang around motionless in just shorts and a polyester jersey but, as you’d expect, his team mates stood by him until the arrival of the medicos. Even

Bad moon rising. The Raiders’ reggies moments before the abandonment of their game.

A Raider charges into but does not come out the other side of the Giants’ defence.

then it was a long and delicate procedure getting him on to a stretcher and into the van. The applause of the Tweed Coast players when it was done cracked the eerie quiet that had descended. At last the ambulance made its way slowly out of the ground and on to Mullumbimby Hospital where, happily, the player was later discharged from Mullum Hospital with an all clear. In the main game, the Giants leapfrogged the Raiders into second place on the ladder by giving them a 40-22 touch up. As victories go, it was a bit like the curate’s egg, good in parts. It has to be said, though, that those good parts were extremely so. Coach Damon Scott’s side has plenty of tries in it, with abundant speed on the anks and, making his debut at full back, Jy Hitchcox, who got the Giants’ ďŹ rst try, showing a willingness to run to all points of the compass in order to progress the ball. Regular custodian and new captain, Murray Brown, crossed a couple of times himself and looked comfortable in the centres, where he

Right. You’ve found the keyboard. More? Yes, there is more. There’s the monitor thingy, and the bit that plugs into the back so your modem can talk to the world. Then you have to turn it on and operate the, um, operating system. If all this seems as mysterious as international currency transactions, then have a chat to one of the computer experts in this service directory.

Page welcomes election funding inquiry Ballina MP Don Page has welcomed an Upper House Inquiry into the issue of political donations, campaign expenditure and disclosure initiated by the State Coalition. Mr Page said Labor had voted against such an Inquiry a month ago in the Lower House (where they have the numbers) but only agreed to support the same Inquiry when they realised the Coalition and the Crossbenchers had the numbers in the Upper House to force the Inquiry. He said the Labor Party is not serious about reform in this area and would likely ignore the recommendations of the Upper House Inquiry. ‘Nevertheless, it is good an inquiry will now proceed so key issues can be aired,’ Mr Page said. ‘There is community con-

cern about the possible connection between political donations and government decision-making.’ Mr Page said his personal view is that all political donations from people who don’t have a right to vote should be banned and individual donations should be capped. Capped public funding and capped election expenditure would also restore integrity to the electoral process. ‘A basic principle of democracy is that the people who have the right to vote determine the election outcome. However, we now allow associations, companies and unions to make large donations in an attempt to influence election outcomes when these bodies have no right to vote,’ he said. The terms of reference for the Select Committee will be ‘to inquire into and report

New paws on the helm at Lions

on the funding and disclosure of donations to political parties, and candidates in State and local government elections, and in particular: 1) all matters associated with electoral funding and disclosure; 2) the advantages and disadvantages of banning all donations from corporations, unions and organisations to parties and candidates; 3) the advantages and disadvantages of introducing limits on expenditure in election campaigns; 4) the impact of political donations on the democratic process; and 5) any related matters.’ NSW Sport and Recreation

New dance music website Byron Bay is ranked third in Australia as a centre for electronic dance music, behind Melbourne and Sydney according to Petar Cetinich, of Pirate Promotions. With this in mind, local dance music fans will be pleased to hear that a new website for the global dance music world will be launched in the next few weeks. Conceived and created by a group of experienced international and local DJs, journalists, artists and producers, DJVOX is passionate about uniting the various facets of the underworld scene to make it more cohesive, accessible and userfriendly for everyone, according to publicist Chryss Carr. ‘The Shire is extremely rich with talent and players in this field. DJVOX presents a solid opportunity with a strong business backing for such talent to get out into the worldwide scene,’ she says. The website www.djvox. com will feature underground sounds from all corners of the globe ranging from progressive, underground, tech, electro and commercial house to psy-trance and make them available as quality MP3 downloads.

DJVOX is committed to quality, and the MP3 downloads will be some of the best on offer at a 320 bit rate. DJVOX claims to be more than a virtual retailer. It hosts an on-line crew of DJ’s, writers and artists deeply connected to the scene that will scour the world for the latest news and sounds and report back to its online community. As well as featuring interviews and bios on the hottest DJs, artists, labels and producers from all corners of the globe, DJVOX invites punters to report on their scene so fellow online community members remain constantly in the loop. Like ‘myspace’, DJVOX users can create their own homepage/blogs. The format allows random music lovers to create their own homepage and host it on DJVOX, and depending on its hit rate could be upgraded to the magazine, converting the browser from web ‘pleb’ to web ‘celeb’. Further, aspiring DJ’s and producers, however young or inexperienced they may be, could have the chance to offer their own productions as MP3 downloads for sale.

‘Do nothing’ process Organisers of the Trains On Our Tracks (TOOT) campaign to get trains running on the Casino-Murwillumbah line say the joint NSW and QLD government taskforce on improving cross border transport links is ‘a process to do nothing about fixing public transport in the Northern Rivers for the next 20 years.

‘Based on existing transport corridors, geography, current and future projected population growth within our region, the best solution is to use the existing rail line as the spine of an integrated transport system for our region.’ The group called on all governments to work with the community on the issue.

Win a lighthouse tour Want a chance to win free tickets to tour Australia’s most easterly lighthouse? The Cape Byron Trust is offering five free double passes to the ever-popular guided lighthouse tours. ‘Interpretation of historic heritage plays an important role in conservation management of historic sites like Cape Byron,’ said Cape Byron Headland Reserve Manager, Sue Walker. ‘Major restoration works are currently underway in the old lighthouse keeper’s cottages and to celebrate the conservation works the Trust is offering the competition for the free tours of the Cape Byron Lighthouse. ‘These works are necessary to conserve and protect the heritage values of the 106year-old buildings and equally provide a way people can experience this heritage. The lighthouse tours provide visi-

tors with the opportunity to explore the maritime history of Byron Bay.Visitors will join an experienced guide and find out about the history and significance of this unique lighthouse. ‘As an added bonus the competition winners may be lucky enough at this time of the year to witness the northern migration of the humpback whale, from what is surely Australia’s best whale watching spot.’ To enter the lighthouse tour competition, and have a chance of winning one of the five double passes, answer the question ‘In which year was the Cape Byron Lighthouse built’? Competition closes July 31. Email your response with contact details to andyrobinson @environment.nsw.gov.au or post to Lighthouse Tour Competition, PO Box 127 Byron Bay NSW 2481.

Sixty five Lions members and friends attended the 55th Changeover Dinner of the Lions Club of Brunswick Mullumbimby on Saturday June 16 at the Ocean Shores Country Club. Outgoing president Terry Newling, above left, thanked members for work done that supported the local and

wider community and congratulated members on their efforts to support projects undertaken by the club. Incoming president Trevor Watts, above right, provided an instant laugh by saying ‘This year there will be some things I’ll probably mess up and other times I’ll be brilliant.’

Free course in martial arts for youth Because of a lack of alternatives for those not engaged in mainstream education, there is a need to engage youth in activities that will provide a stimulus for both mind and body while also increasing the range and depth of skills required to succeed in life. To this end the Inspired Life project aims to utilise the elements of martial arts training to affect improved outcomes in physical as well as social and psychological aspects. Ivan Howe and Richard Antonini, Wing Chun teachers, Matt Sproul, Inspired Life coordinator and Stephanie Sims from Byron Youth Service are offering the youth of the Byron Shire a free 6 week course in Wing Chun

Martial Arts. The Byron Shire Gym is generously assisting with equipment. Martial arts philosophy emphasises that people live in peace and harmony with each other, maintain nonaggressive attitudes, self-control and respect for one’s self and others, positive attitudes and to strive to achieve one’s best in life. The course starts on Tuesday June 26 and runs every Tuesday from 4pm to 5.30pm for 6 weeks at the Youth Activity Centre, 1 Gilmore Street, Byron Bay. For more information please contact Stephanie Sims on 6685 7777 or 0404 478 745.

Young writers competition The Transcultural Mental Health Centre in conjunction with the Schizophrenia Fellowship and Mental Illness Education Australia (NSW) are calling for final submissions for the 2007 Young Writers Competition, TranSCRIBE. TranSCRIBE, the 6th Young Writers Competition, aims to provide young people with an opportunity to creatively express their concerns, thoughts, feelings and experiences about issues that directly impact on young people living in a multicul-

tural society. The competition is open to all young people, not only young people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. The competition challenges all young people to think about the impact that immigration and cultural diversity has on families and young people living in Australia. Additional information, entry forms and ideas for discussion topics may be photocopied or downloaded from the website: www.dhi.gov. au/tmhc/transcribe.

Maui art show for whales

Pin This Up

The Whale Tipi, out of Australia, was raised on Monday June 25 outside the Maui War and Peace Art Exhibition in Makawao. Recently arriving from Anchorage, Alaska for IWC 59 (International Whaling Commission), Byron resident Howie Cooke, pictured right, cofounder of Surfers for Cetaceans, with Billabong free surfer Dave Rastovich, has put the Whale Tipi up at four different IWCs and in nine countries with over 100,000 people visiting it. ‘This latest extension of thinly disguised commercial whaling by Japan adds further insult to the continued slaughter of Minkes and endangered Fin Whales in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary,’ said Mr Cooke. Cooke is calling on the people of Hawai’i to show solidarity with the Australian public who are horrified at the intention of Japanese factory ship whalers to kill 50 Australian Humpbacks in the Antarctic at the end of this year in the name of science. According to Cooke, ‘The world over, people are enchanted by the benign gra-

ciousness of cetaceans and are increasingly disgusted by the cruel and barbaric perpetuation of whaling which had no place in the 20th century let alone in the 21st. Hawai’i and Australia have in common a close connection with Humpback

whales and their annual migrations. I hope Japan will follow the example of Hawai’ian and Australian whalewatch tourism and identify with affection and appreciation with all whales and dolphins, our friends in the sea.’

Historian to talk at OS Expo Ocean Shores historian and lifetime resident Frank Mills has great stories to tell of the local climate and environment that many of us are hearing for the first time. ‘As the local fire control officer for fourteen years, I saw many aspects of the local environment and yet I am still in awe of the great extremes of weather that we have experienced in the local area in my lifetime,’ Frank added. He is preparing his 2007 historical presentation to suit the theme of this year’s Arts and History Expo: The Environment, Our Place, Our Face. ‘My theme will be Tree change, Sea change, Climate change,’ he said.

Frank, who has extensive local knowledge, will look at the Ocean Shores and Brunswick Valley environment during the course of the last hundred years. Undoubtedly many locals will be interested to see historic photos of where their patch fits in to

the environmental picture. The Expo will be held August 10-12 at the Ocean Shores Community Hall and details can we seen at www.osartexpo.com. Artists are reminded that entries close on July 20. Phone Ri for more details 6680 3040

throughout NSW, the Country Energy Art Prize moved this year from being an acquisitive prize to a non acquisitive prize, allowing the winning artist to keep or sell their own work and still receive a significant monetary prize. Country Energy’s regional general manager Far North Coast, Brian Glawson, said the prize is growing in popularity and stature within the art community. ‘Entries have already been finding their way to the Dubbo gallery which is

indicative of the widespread interest and enthusiasm for the prize,’ Mr Glawson said. ‘I’d encourage country and coastal artists to enter before the July 20 cut-off date so they have the security of knowing that their entry has been received and they are in the running for a great prize.’ Entry forms are available at regional art galleries, Country Energy customer service centres or by visiting the website at www.countryenergy.com.au/artprize.

Once a thriving dairy farm this select 40 hectare (100 acre) parcel is situated only seven minutes drive from Bangalow’s thriving village atmosphere. The gentle acreage will comfortable carry 40 + breeders or would make an ideal horse stud with a plentiful supply of water from a registered irrigation license from Wilson’s River. The original farmhouse features all of the charms of yesteryear with original hardwood weatherboard and timber Çoors throughout. There is even an old tennis court out the back for a weekend hit up. The old dairy bales are still in place and would make an ideal studio or extra storage.

A reader writes: ‘Sadly my 3 year old daughter’s brand new pale blue bike was taken from our house in Bayside Brunswick Heads prior to the council collection. It was her birthday present and she has just learned to ride without training wheels. She is devastated and we would appreciate its return ASAP.’ Phone 6685 1847 or 0412 616 603 if you can help make a little girl happy again. Q Q Q Q The most interesting declaration of interest ever made at Byron Council came last week from Maggie Tardif, wife of Cr Bob Tardif, during public access: ‘I have lost the simple pleasure of enjoying my daily walk along the beach shoreline with my partner (who I declare an interest in both pecuniary and non pecuniary)‌’The never-ending canine argy-bargy is covered in the news pages. Q Q Q Q The Byron Ballina Greens are running an online survey – www.byronballinagreens. org/feedback/festivals.html – on where punters feel music festivals should be held in the Shire but it’s likely to muddy already muddied waters. It would be easy for those pro or con festivals to skew the results. Q Q Q Q The latest RTA TV ads which suggest that driving like a hoon indicates young males have a tiny todger are clever but there’s nothing intrinsically wrong with having a petite penis. It is just as prejudicial as saying women who drive badly behave like blondes. Q Q Q Q The strange repetition of the Stars is not Lilith’s fault but ours. We mistakenly put in the stars for last week the week before, so we had to run them again last week in the interests of stargazers

Not to be outdone by Lismore or Woodford, Byron Bay’s Main Beach has its own lantern parade. Every evening at sunset if you use the walkway to the beach opposite the northern end of Middleton Street and look west you’ll see the protection for the new dune stabilising plants light up in the last rays of daylight.

not getting overly confounded by cosmic prognostications. Q Q Q Q On Friday, June 22, nearly $400,000 was held by online betting agency Centrebet on the humble ‘garage’ game of table tennis – $20,000 more than the hold for the two NRL matches that night, as well as ahead of the AFL, and all other major sporting streams. The early rounds of the Japan Open had something to do with it. Q Q Q Q Congratulations to American newsreader Mika Brzezinski on MSNBC’s Morning Joe program for refusing to read yet another item about Paris Hilton and actually trying to set ďŹ re to copies of the story. It’s time we had more burning of bulletins about celebrity airheads – as long as the subsequent carbon is offset, of course, perhaps by planting out celebrities. Q Q Q Q ‘It just went whoosh’ – this was the reaction in an ofďŹ cial

press release by IT infrastruture director Helen Robson in response to the website hits by people looking at the

latest Census data. You can find it at www.abs.gov.au/ census. Who knows, you might go whoosh too.
