Council revisits Helen St bridge Michael McDonald

Byron Shire Council last week voted 8-0, Crs Tucker and Tardif absent, to receive a staff report on an amended Helen Street footbridge design by structural engineer Tony Baggio ‘as a basis for new construction tender specifications’. Mr Baggio put up the revised plan, which is considerably cheaper than previous tenders, on behalf of local residents. During public access, resident Maggie Brown told Councillors, ‘The bridge has been designed by a highly qualified structural engineer

and reviewed by two separate structural engineers, one of whom is a consultant to Council. We ask that you consider what the community has achieved in the last month – cost free – and let us continue to work with Council on getting a result. ‘We are confident that the design before you is realistic and correct in scale and concept… Council has already spent good public money on reports, studies and consultancies. If we let this go now all that work, money and time will have been wasted effort. ‘Today’s motion gives

Council an opportunity to honour its commitment and salvage the project, plus Council’s reputation for getting things done. ‘Obviously, building a bridge is more challenging than painting road markings to create bike lanes and traffic islands for Ocean Shores, but those measures will not stop our residents from driving themselves and their children the 5km round trip to and from the beach – but a 600 metre walk or ride over the footbridge will. ‘We are well aware that you have continuing concerns about the costings and

Kurt runs with the champs

that if it were to go out to tender again the end result might be another very expensive bridge. When we get to that stage, we, the community, would do our utmost to see that an affordable design and tender is submitted and responded to, in accordance with tender regulations. ‘There are plenty of local builders and construction companies who would be happy for the work and it is not a complex design to build. By doing this bridge properly we may end up with a template for the other continued on page 2

Imogen, Miah, Olivia and Georgia make friends with a large Tarantula who was part of a Bugs’n’Slugs display at Bangalow Community Children’s Centre open day on August 29.

The open day celebrated National Science Week and water experiments, erupting volcanoes, rocket science, socks with hair, a Van de Graaf generator (static electricity), archaeological digs

and sensory tables were all part of the fun. Kids tried their hands at and learnt about microclimate models, string telephones, parts of the body, lighting, bread making, growing sprouts,

dinosaur measuring, straw painting, candle batiks and sinking and floating – objects, not the kids. See more at www.bugsnslugs. com.au. Photo Lou Beaumont

Mullumbimby High School athlete Kurt Mulcahy, 18, raced against the world’s best on the weekend at Osaka, Japan, when he ran with Australia’s 4 x 400m sprint team at the world championships. The team missed out on a finals berth by a tenth of a second. Kurt’s inclusion in the team is a result of his silver medal in the 400m at the Australian nationals in March this year. He has also excelled at the 100m and the 200m. Kurt sent a text message to his father Kevin and mother Roslyn straight after the race and they spoke to him the next morning. He was very excited, racing in front of a capacity crowd and was really happy with his run. The whole experience went really quickly but

he was delighted. Roslyn thinks he may have run a personal best (PB) and Kurt is hoping to qualify for the Beijing Olymoics in his own right, that is as a 400m individual runner as well as in the relay. Roslyn hopes Kurt will have a bit of a rest when he gets home on Tuesday this week but he has the Combined High Schools state athletics championships in Sydney next week. ‘In general, he handles pressure really well,’ says Roslyn. ‘Being in Mullum helps as he can get away from the hype and just “be normal”.’ Kevin and Roslyn hope to get the whole family over to watch Kurt at the world juniors in Poland and then to the Olympics in China.

Binge drinking talks David Bradbury

There was a lively discussion and plenty of ideas put on the table when l5 parents and professionals met last week to discuss how we can best support our teenagers and tackle the issue of binge drinking in our community. The group first heard from Mullum High deputy principal Richard Heazlewood-Ross fresh back from a conference about latest research on understanding the adolescent brain. The conference emphasised the need to engage with our teenage children and to seek our own understanding of what happens during this critical stage of brain development when some phenomenal changes take place. Lesley Sayers from Mullum High gave the group an insight into how the school’s cutting edge Expect Respect program works. Expect Respect introduces Year 7 students to having healthy and informed attitude

towards themselves, drugs, changes in adolescent years, child and adolescent sexual assault and tips that seek to empower our teenagers in making their own responsible choices. The parents group agreed there is a need for a street crew similar to Byron’s Street Cruise for the northern end of the shire on weekend nights as local teenagers had no form of public transport and were often forced to hitch. It was noted that Ocean Shores school and South Golden Beach hall were potentially on offer to hold a teenage gig or event. If you want to know more and throw your energy behind supporting our kids through the challenging years of teenagehood, we will meet again Thursday September l3, 7pm at Patt Gregory’s place, 48 Main Arm Rd, Mullum.

Splendour DA lodged

All funds raised from the art and oral displays will be in support of the Bell Tower Restoration Fund. Sunday afternoon’s Vari-

ety Concert will cost $10 for adults and $5 for under 18s and the proceeds from the concert will go to the Organ Restoration Fund.

A development application (DA) has been lodged with Byron Shire Council for the Splendour in the Grass festival to be held at the controversial North Byron Shire Parklands site on 256 hectares at Yelgun, bordered by the old PaciďŹ c Highway and Jones Road. The DA for Billinudgel Property Trust proposes holding the event on August 1-3 or August 8-10 in 2008. According to the DA, accompanied by two volumes of a statement of environmental effects over many hundreds of pages, Splendour will be a trial event to assess the environmental impact on the site. The festival is expected to cater for a maximum of 22,500 patrons and maximum of 2,000 staff, performers and guests. Organisers expect 7,500 campers and 15,000 day patrons. The DA can be read at Council’s ofďŹ ces or online at www.byron.nsw.gov.au. Public submissions close on Friday September 28.

Parking ďŹ nes – where is the money going? On hearing of the $1.15 million in parking fines collected by Byron Shire Council in 2006/7, Byron United president Ed Ahern said, ‘Just where is this money going? The town is crying out for better amenities, lighting and security and apart from some new rubbish bins I don’t see any improvements. ‘Byron United is also keen to know what the Council is doing to rectify the parking issues in town – we need to be tourist friendly and I don’t think fining everyone into oblivion is encouraging this.’ In response Mayor Jan Barham said, ‘The ďŹ gures

raised for the parking ďŹ nes are actually for more than parking – they include littering, dogs, unlawful use of disabled parking and parking ďŹ nes in residential areas. In recent years substantial fines have been issued in residential areas during festival times as Council has responded to resident concerns about disruption and loss of amenity. ‘The state government centralised ďŹ ne management takes an administration fee of 22% which then leaves council with about $0.9m for the last year. ‘Council has been undertaking extensive work on

parking areas in Byron Bay in recent years including the redevelopment of the North Lawson Street carpark, the all day parking area at Sommerset Street, the walkway and works at the Main Beach carpark and the redevelopment of the parking area at the end of Bay Lane and Middleton Street area. The redevelopment of the Clarkes Beach carpark was approved by Council over a year ago and negotiations with the Department of Land should see the work being commenced shortly. ‘To address some of the trafďŹ c ow issues in the town Council has also constructed

new roundabouts with beautiďŹ cation work. ‘Council is currently conducting studies of Ewingsdale in relation to the increased development that is due to happen along the road, including Becton and Crighton as well as Council’s own development of the Ewingsdale Sport and Cultural site. These studies will also be looking at the interaction with the proposed bypass. Despite repeated meetings and lobbying efforts to the state government there has not been an agreement to allow the second rail crossing for the bypass.’

Local house demonstrates sustainability Story & photo Lou Beaumont Built by her own hands, Nina Bishop’s sustainably designed mudbrick home will be open to the public as part of Sustainable House Day. SHD has been organised nationally by the Australian and New Zealand Solar Energy Society (ANZSES) which is dedicated to the use of solar energy in all its forms, as well as promoting renewable energy, energy saving and water conservation for households. SHD offers the community the opportunity to explore actual solar homes, providing insight into the economic and comfort benefits of residential solar design. Nina’s house, for example, has a classic passive solar design with high thermal mass, maximum north glazing, a clerestory roof, and makes extensive use of recycled materials. It has solar hot water and a photovoltaic array (solar electricity) which is grid interactive. Most energy used during the construction was also sourced from or offset by green power. Nina said, ‘I wanted to design and build an energy efďŹ cient house that was carbon neutral from the start of construction. I have offset transport, freight and steel used by planting about 300 native trees on the three acre block.’ Aesthetically too, the house is environmentally sympathetic. It sits unobtrusively into the bank of the north facing Mullumbimby slope due to a curved roof, rendered walls, smoothed corners and an earthy colour. With $50,000 in one pocket and a lot of determination in the other, Nina set

about building a home which primarily nurtured herself, her son and the environment. The north facing house is cool in summer and warm in winter and was built from the ground up, literally, with the bricks made from the soil from the plot on which the house was made. Nina’s solar passive mudbrick house with steel portal frame (to resist a local termite population) is full of thoughtful details that can best be appreciated when viewing the house. Nina told The Echo, ‘Building a house like this was a dream of mine for almost 30 years. I remember visiting communes in my twenties where these wonderful, friendly people lived in these warm mudbrick houses.’ Nina, who laid 90% of the mudbricks herself, said there are many ways to build or modify an existing house to make it more sustainable. ‘It’s our behaviour and what we put into the home that makes it sustainable or not. For example, I chose aluminium frames for my windows which isn’t the

most sustainable option but it saves immeasurably in maintenance. It’s possible to pick and choose sustainable options to suit you and offset where possible.’ Nina Bishop’s house will be open on Sunday September 9. Gayle Russell from North Coast Climate Action Group and Dave Lawrence from Energy EfďŹ cient Home

Design will be at the house. While bookings are not essential, please book for house tours which will occur on the hour from 10am to 3pm by phoning Nina on 6684 1263. ANZSES charges $5 for each adult, children get in free. Visit www.sustainablehouseday.com for more information.

Eco-psychology workshop ACE is presenting the ‘Ecopsychology & Healthy Relating’ workshop with Gayle Russell. ‘Our Western lifestyles are ultimately not sustainable,’ says Gayle. ‘We live in a world out of step with the planet. We have an inherent connection and relationship with the planet and without the Earth’s bounty where would be? ‘The program will look at how our Western thinking has separated us from the planet and how we have become addicted to technology and a belief in technological ďŹ xes. The workshop will be experiential; it will

" / ,

focus on re-awakening our embeddedness with the natural systems of the planet and on developing an ecological groundedness. Wellknown American psychologist and author Chellis Glendinning afďŹ rms that we are all in recovery from Western civilisation and she is right.’ Gayle is a trained Gestalt psychotherapist and trainer. The program is offered through ACE on Saturday September 15 and Sunday 16, 10am-4pm in Mullumbimby. Phone ACE on 6684 3374 to book or phone Gayle on 6684 1119 for further information.

Hugh Mackay to speak at Byron Bay What will the next generation of children be like? Why did we lose interest in politics? Why are our houses getting bigger while our households are shrinking? These are all questions that Hugh Mackay, one of Australia’s leading social researchers, has addressed in his new book Advance Australia...Where? Hugh will be the guest speaker at an evening seminar, hosted by Southern Cross University and the Bellingen Institute, at the

Byron Community and Cultural Centre on Monday, September 17. Fifteen years ago, Hugh Mackay wrote the bestseller Reinventing Australia. Now, in Advance Australia... Where? he returns to address the big issues affecting Australians. ‘While we enjoy unprecedented levels of prosperity and the promise of more to come, we are still battling an epidemic of depression, taking on record levels of debt, and yearning for a deeper

sense of meaning in our lives,’ according to Hugh. ‘We are being swept along by the pace of the IT products, services and processes we have so enthusiastically embraced. Speed has become a virtue. And if speed is good, faster must be better. ‘Text messages, redolent with private codes, have become the contemporary equivalent of the love letter, though it’s doubtful whether they’ll appear in the love letters of the future...’

Chicken puzzle solved

The seminar will be held at the Byron Community and Cultural Centre on Monday, September 17, from 6pm (6.30pm start). Entry will be by gold coin donation. For information contact Callista Cooper, Southern Cross University, on 6685 8470. Advance Australia... Where? is published by Hachette Australia. It will be available for sale during the evening and at the University Co-op Bookshop, Lismore campus.

‘Turn your weedy block into a stunning native landscape’ will be of interest to landowners who want to get informed and started in bush regeneration without the formalities of undertaking an accredited course. This will be a hands on course taught on site at the tutor’s property in the Upper Pocket . It will be held over four Saturdays 9am-1pm starting on September 9. ‘We will look at lots of different sites which are typical of the challenges landowners face in Byron: lantana infested gullies, creek banks overgrown with environmental weeds, camphors out competing the natives,’ said Judy MacDonald, the environmental educator and qualiďŹ ed bush regenerator who will be teaching the

course. ‘Too often we feel isolated, lacking the right knowledge and overwhelmed. We want to do the right thing and start caring for our degraded native landscape but don’t know where to start. ‘Learning out in the ďŹ eld offers practical experience and is fun.’ Topics covered will include local native plant and weed identiďŹ cation, weed control treatments (both chemical and non-chemical), management strategies and tree planting techniques. Participants will also be able to get some answers to specific environmental restoration issues they are facing on their land. Course fees are $136 or $122 concession. To book contact ACE, on 6684311 or www.acemullum.com.

National robotics champs In news late to hand, nine dedicated students from St Finbarr’s School, Byron Bay took out the championship winner’s trophy at the 2007 Australian Robocup Junior Dance competition at the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre over the weekend. Mission Impossible, the St Finbarr’s entry, took on a ďŹ eld of 18 elite teams from around Australia that included all the current State Champions, the ACT Champion as well as a team from China to become the Aus-

tralian National Champions. The St Finbarr’s team wowed the crowd with a technically challenging rescue routine using chain reactions in which nine robots were sequenced to the Mission Impossible theme music. Paul Amar, a parent volunteer who coached the team, said this was the team’s ďŹ rst attempt at the national title and the children worked extremely hard for the competition. ‘It was a fantastic day with a very exciting atmosphere.’

Terry Hicks: a father’s challenges Hans Lovejoy The phone conversation I had with him made me slightly nervous, though the tone was very amicable and relaxed. Were we on a secure line? Surely I am talking into a voice recorder linked to a bank of computers. Or perhaps the US and AU Governments have bigger ďŹ sh to fry now given that David Hicks has been well and truly sautĂŠd. Terry Hicks, father of David is coming to speak at a fringe event for The Fatherhood Festival on September 8. Civil liberties, terrorism and its causes, media manipulation and political incompetence, suppression and villainous behaviour are all connected to David, who was charged with Providing Material Support For Terrorism. Retrospectively, of course. And spending ďŹ ve years bloated on unknown chemicals in a small cage is the price one pays for being caught in the middle of changing US foreign policy. He’ll be free by December, according to his father, and is recovering in an Adelaide jail. ‘We visit once a week for half an hour,’ says Terry. ‘He’s improving. When I saw him in G Bay, he was over-

weight and very subdued. ‘It appeared most of the weight was uid. Luckily he lost it in four weeks. I have no idea what they were giving him.’ He is still in conďŹ nement, according to Terry, and David likes it that way. As far as Terry is concerned, David was in the wrong place. ‘When the US became involved [in the Afghan war], they dropped leaets everywhere that said “If you know any suspicious westerners involved with the Taliban, the US will pay you moneyâ€?. People were dob-

bing in relatives. He was on his way home, but they locked down the borders. That’s as much as we know.’ Does this experience demonstrate how divided our society is? Are we talking honestly about what terrorism really is? ‘It’s a fear factory. It’s become very political, in the US and here, as they keep pushing to keep credibility.’ Wasn’t not speaking to the media a condition of being released? ‘Yes, he can’t talk ‘till March. The longer he was kept there, the more

people looked at the background and started asking questions. How one of our own was treated. It’s a human rights issue but also government incompetence. I mean, compare this to Haneef and you can see a pattern. Essentially this issue has always been about giving David a fair go.’ What are his plans when he’s released? ‘He talks of study, perhaps university, as he likes ecology, geology and zoology. He’s a lot more chatty and outgoing now the pressure is off.’ So what will Terry be talking about at Bangalow? ‘This is a great opportunity and I look forward to this panel.’ And then he ďŹ nally says, ‘Everything your kid does, no matter what, you have to stand with them and protect their rights.’ Q The Challenges Of Fatherhood – a conversation with Terry Hicks at 8pm, Saturday September 8, Bangalow A&I Hall, hosted by Mick O’Regan. Tickets $20/$10 at the door at www.fatherhoodfestival.com, at all Southern Cross Credit Unions, Barebones Artspace in Bangalow, and Mullumbimby Book Shop.

Fundraiser for Taste of Byron festival A fundraiser for the Taste of Byron festival will be held this Wednesday September 5 at Earth and Sea in Byron Bay. The Taste of Byron, organised by The Lions Club, will be held over two days on September 22 and 23 in Denning Park at Main Beach, Byron Bay. Up for auction will be a three day weekend for two at The Palace, a three day weekend for two at Victoria’s, dinner for two at Dish, a didgeridoo, a western desert painting and a local Indigenous painting from Lynn. There is also a lucky door prize. ‘In all there is over $8000 worth of fabulous stuff to buy that has been donated by forty of Byron Bay’s most prominent establishments,’ says organiser Sandy McKee. Performers on the night

include MC Mandy Nolan, comedian Dan Brown as well as musician Mike Hudson, pictured above, performing solo. As a new arrival from Sydney ten months ago, Mike has already snared a swag of gigs and has recruited some of the area’s premier musicians. He will also be performing at the Taste of Byron festival with full band, which

includes Robbie Van Raak, drums, Robbie Nobilia, saxophone, Anthony Lycenco, guitar, Steve Russell, keys, Glenny Raye, violin and Eben McKirmmon, bass. ‘I came up to record my album at 301 studios and Rocking Horse,’ Mike told The Echo. ‘My parents also live at Eltham, and I just fell in love with the place.’ He describes his music as

having ballad, country and rock elements reminiscent of Rod Stewart and Cat Stevens. As a passionate human rights advocator, he helped establish www.silentvoices. org which raises funds for orphans in South Africa. ‘It started in April 2004,’ he says, ‘A friend went to South Africa and ďŹ lmed a doco about AIDS orphans. As a result, he met Margaret and Jessie, both South Africans who committed their lives to helping orphans. The money goes directly to them and helps them establish small free range chicken farms and vegie gardens.’ Cost for the Taste of Byron Fundraiser is $25 per head which includes an Earth & Sea pizza and salad feast. Reservations can be made on 6685 6029 at Earth & Sea.

More money for pensioners. More people now eligible. THINGS TO DO. • If you currently get a part pension from Centrelink or Veterans’ Affairs, you don’t need to do anything. If the changes mean that you’ll get a larger pension, it will happen automatically. • Many people who were previously ineligible for a payment due to the value of their assets may now be eligible for a pension. To find out if you qualify, go to the Centrelink website at www.centrelink.gov.au or call Centrelink on 13 23 00 or visit your local Centrelink Customer Service Centre. From 20 September 2007 we’ve halved the rate at which savings and other assets affect government pensions. This means hundreds of thousands of retired people, including some self funded retirees, will now receive more money. Some because they will receive a larger pension than before, and some because they will get a pension for the first time. Here’s how it works. There’s an amount of assets you’re allowed to have and get a full pension. That amount varies according to whether you’re married or single, and whether or not you own your own home. That’s because your home is not counted when your assets are added up. Your income is also used to work out how much government pension you can get. Currently, the pension assets test limits for a full pension are:

• • • •

Single homeowner $166,750 Single non-homeowner $287,750 Homeowner couple $236,500 Non-homeowner couple $357,500 For every one thousand dollars of assets above these amounts, the government pension has been reduced by $3 per fortnight. From 20 September 2007, that will be halved from $3 to $1.50. This means, for example, that a single homeowner with assets of around $500,000 will, for the first time, be able to get a part pension under the assets test. And a single homeowner who has $250,000 in assets (such as a holiday house) and doesn’t receive any other income will get around $125 a fortnight more from their government pension. This change applies to the Age Pension, Service Pension, Disability Support Pension, Carer Payment, Income Support Supplement and some other government pensions. Authorised by the Australian Government, Capital Hill, Canberra.

• For information about Veterans’ Affairs payments visit www.dva.gov.au, phone 13 32 54 or Freecall™ 1800 555 254 (regional callers) or visit your nearest Veterans’ Affairs Network Office.

Roberts faces her sister’s tragedy Mandy Nolan Everyone has a different way of dealing with tragedy. For actor, director and Artistic Director of the Dreaming Festival Rhoda Roberts, in the eight years since the discovery of her twin sister Lois’s body in the Whian Whian State Forest, it is a story she has rarely shared. How do you speak of the brutal murder of someone as precious and as missed as your sister? Rhoda is the courageous subject of a brand new documentary ďŹ lm A Sister’s Love. Directed by Ivan Sen, already touted as one of the most exciting new indigenous directors, the film’s narrative has an honesty that cuts right to the heart. Ivan ďŹ rst came to public notice back in 2002 when his ďŹ rst feature length ďŹ lm Beneath Clouds screened at Sundance Film Festival and won the Premier First Movie Award at the 2002 Berlin Film Festival and the 2002 Best Director Award from the Australian Film Institute. His first film traces his own story, to ďŹ nd his father. A Sister’s Love echoes the theme, as we join Rhoda as she returns to Lismore to confront the brutal murder of her sister. ‘Basically the ďŹ lm is about our relationship and what’s happened. What comes out in the ďŹ lm is how it was the ďŹ rst time I had told the story. Initially I wasn’t going to do it. But I thought, maybe if I do I can trigger a memory. Someone who knows something. By the end of the ďŹ lm, it was quite different, it was a really cathartic process.’ Rhoda Roberts is a TV and film industry professional. So how difďŹ cult was it for someone so used to focusing on other people’s stories to be so squarely centre frame? ‘I think I started by doing the 28 second grab. I didn’t want to expose myself. Then I thought, this was silly, Ivan kept asking me the same

question, over and over, he has an extraordinary talent for pulling that out of you. He is very patient – maybe it’s because he is a blackfella. It was a very intense experience, and after ďŹ lming, he will be a friend for life. In the end he thanked me: you were so honest. It is a brutally honest ďŹ lm. In every way. I had no makeup, the camera was 12 inches from my face!’ Rhoda admits that a predominant theme is her anger at how the investigation was handled by local police. ‘I came across a bit angry. I feel Lismore Police didn’t do enough. One ofďŹ cer actually said “She’s gone walk aboutâ€?. But she had serious head injuries from a car accident she had at 21. People with head injuries are very habitual. They don’t tend to just suddenly change their behaviour. ‘There was this one particular story that kept coming up, from my cousin in the courts and my cousins in the park. They talked about the same person being the last person she [and the other women who’ve gone missing] was seen with. I did go the police about that and they said we don’t follow every lead. I don’t feel they did enough. ‘They told us they didn’t

have enough resources, but when the German backpacker [Simone Strobel] went missing, they marched across the park with dogs. The reality is that Nimbin is such a transient community. People change their names, they live a different type of life. The women who go missing are always vulnerable, from the lower rung of society, I suppose it’s not worth trying to ďŹ nd them... That’s me being cynical.’ For Rhoda and her family it was the year until Lois’s body was found that was the hardest to deal with. ‘It’s interesting, every year in August when Missing Persons Week comes about I am reminded about what we went through. I went to a clairvoyant and she said, “She’s taking time out and she’s living in Melbourne.â€? That was really wrong of that woman to say that. It’s harder to deal with a missing person, than a murder. In a way, six months later, when her body was found was horrible but it was a relief that she wasn’t out there not wanting to know us. It makes us more aware of how those families [of missing persons] must feel, never getting closure.’ Making the ďŹ lm was more than telling her own story. For Rhoda is was about pre-

senting a different Lois, someone her children never had the chance to know. ‘I have had Emily [Lois’s daughter] since she was four days old. As she gets older she will want to know more. I think it has affected her. I spoke to a social worker about how to deal with it, and she said tell her everything, and as she gets older she will want more details. Making the film showed that Lois was a really good person.’ ‘Everyone deals with death differently. We had a head start on grieving with Lois when she was 21 and had a major car accident. She was never the same again. I didn’t grieve her then. ‘Steven my partner said before the ďŹ lm, “You are so angry at the world.You know you have never mourned the ďŹ rst Lois.â€? I remember when she had the car accident I would say: it’s not fair and Dad would say, “What have you learnt? We were lucky to know her for those 21 years, and now we have someone else. She taught us so muchâ€?.’ A Sister’s Love premieres in Lismore as part of Message Sticks Indigenous Film Festival, and will be showing on Thursday at Birch, Carroll and Coyle from 7pm. This is a free event.

Labor drifts further from its roots Vol 22 #13

September 4, 2007

Town of champions For a small town, Mullumbimby has produced an impressive list of sporting champions. Swimming star Petria Thomas, discus thrower Monique Nasca, and lawn bowler Cameron Curtis spring to mind. The latest among them is sprinter Kurt Mulcahy, a high school student who is already running among the best in the world. He ran last weekend for the Australian 4 x 400m team at the World Championships in Osaka, Japan. It was a big ask for the Australians to come anywhere near the Americans, Brits or Bahamans but the team performed creditably, only a tenth of a second outside of qualifying for the ďŹ nal, despite the withdrawal at the last moment of top 400m runner John Steffensen. Kurt’s sporting career is remarkable enough without considering the pressures of high school studies and adolescence itself. That he can perform at such a high level is a testament to his fortitude and talent. He has shown high promise at all the sprint events from 100m to 400m. Running second in the Australian 400m nationals in March gave him the opportunity to run at Osaka. And what an opportunity it is. Away from the glitz and hype of the Olympics, the world championships is the serious end of international athletics. The event this year showed great depth of talent in many disciplines and it is a life-shaping experience for Kurt to be among it. Whatever Kurt accomplishes from now on in, already Mullumbimby has every right to be very proud of him. We wish him a successful lead-up to the Beijing games in 2008.

A fairer place A new Australia Fair report shows a dramatic increase in the number of Australians living in poverty over the past ten years. The report, Australia Fair: International Comparisons 2007 shows that one in ten Australians, nearly 2 million people, are living below the poverty line. According to Jenny Dowell, the president of the Northern Rivers Social Development Council (NRSDC), the situation is particularly difďŹ cult on the Northern Rivers. ‘The latest census ďŹ gures show that over 22,000 people – nearly 13% of people aged 15 or above in our region – live below the poverty line. ‘These people have to survive on less than $250 per week, which is roughly half the median income of all Australians.’ NRSDC CEO Tony Davies said, ‘In the current climate of strong economic growth and record budget services, it is unacceptable that poverty is on the increase. Australia is getting less fair yet we have the means to make it a much fairer place for all.’ According to Mr Davies, the upcoming federal election provides an opportunity to get some real action happening to address poverty. ‘We call on all candidates in our local area to tell the community what they will do to address disadvantage and social exclusion in the Northern Rivers and across Australia. With strong investment in basic services like preschool, public dental services, community health, education, disability supports, transport and affordable housing, the government can make real inroads into disadvantage.’ That seems a better way to spend that budget surplus than on election advertising.

K

evin Rudd and Julia Gillard are pretty happy about their long-awaited industrial relations policy and the initial reaction to it. No-one else likes it very much except a few of their fellow Labor politicians, and in private even these have their doubts. But the proud parents are carrying on as if this is exactly what they had hoped for: if both sides are bagging their baby with equal vigour, then it is must be the perfect child. They have got the balance just about right. When you think about it, this is a most peculiar thing for a political leader to say. The whole point about the party system Australia shares with most democracies is that it is adversarial: you have allies and you have enemies. Naturally, you expect the enemies to disagree with your ideas and attack them by whatever means possible; there would be something wrong if they didn’t. But to take comfort from the fact that your friends and supporters are equally unhappy seems more than somewhat perverse. The Australian Labor Party is, after all, supposed to be the party of labour, not the party of capital. Obviously it has moved on from the days when it was simply the political arm of the trade union movement – as society has changed, so has politics. But it is hard to believe that the ALP has drifted so far from its roots that it actually welcomes the news that its traditional constituency is thinking seriously about giving its ďŹ rst preference to a fringe party which in the past has been regarded as a haven for the fairies in the bottom of the garden. Yet this is just what is happening: seriously tough-

minded unionists are now irting with the Greens as a more union-friendly party than Labor, and the ALP leadership takes this as a plus. And in terms of Realpolitik, they might even be right. It is a mad world, my masters. John Howard says that the union backlash is a pantomime, and his puppet in Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry, Peter Hendy, calls the whole policy window-dressing; somewhere in their bunkered headquarters, the pair claim, union bosses are chortling and cracking the champagne bottles. Well, no; they are grinding their teeth and preparing to try and convince the rank and ďŹ le that they have not been sold out. The ofďŹ cial line will be that at least Forward with Fair-

and even that will take far too long. But when it eventually happens, it will not, as the unions had hoped, restore their former access to workplaces. The restrictions imposed by Howard will remain, with only one serious exception: if a majority of workers in an enterprise vote to have a union negotiate on their behalf, the union will be admitted. This does not mean, as Howard claims, that a single unionist could compel the rest of the workforce to sign up, but it does mean that employers will no longer be able to completely disregard the wishes of the total workforce, as is now the case. As they say, almost anything is better than WorkChoices. And the other side of the equation is that business, with

For the unions Labor remains by far the lesser of two evils, but that does not make it a positive good. by Mungo MacCallum ness is better than WorkChoices – but then, almost anything is better than WorkChoices. The only thing that could be worse would be Son of WorkChoices, the monster anticipated by Finance Minister Nick Minchin when he assured business earlier this year that the whole award system and the Industrial Relations Commission were marked for destruction if the government was returned. For the unions Labor remains by far the lesser of two evils, but that does not make it a positive good. About the only aspect of Rudd’s policy they really like is the phasing out of AWAs,

the exception of the predictable Hendy, isn’t too unhappy about it. The heavies will, of course, continue to campaign for Howard; unlike Rudd, they are not interested in balance. But when BHP-Billiton says it can live with the Labor policy, then you know it can’t be too frightening. Howard’s scare campaign has been effectively strangled at birth which of course was the idea. There’s no denying that it’s good middle-of-the-road politics, and that it could well win the election for Rudd. But when the euphoria subsides, there will be a few old Labor warriors asking each

other: is this really what we were ďŹ ghting for? Coincidentally, just as Rudd and Gillard were proudly displaying their offspring to the public, the Fairfax papers came out with a truly horriďŹ c series about the way foreign workers were being exploited, cheated and in some cases killed by the 457 visa system designed to ďŹ ll the gaps in the local workforce left by years of government neglect. The writers produced example after example of almost unbelievable callousness on the part of Australian employers, showing that in some cases the cold-blooded and deliberate abuse of the system amounted to something very like slavery, and that the victims were generally powerless to ďŹ ght back: under Howard’s laws they could be sacked without notice and immediately deported at the whim of their bosses, who proceeded to demonstrate the truth of Lord Acton’s axiom about power corrupting and absolute power corrupting absolutely. The responsible minister Kevin Andrews lied through his paper-thin lips that the ‘guests’ had the same protection as other workers, and that the cases cited were exceptional; they weren’t, and the only reason they had come to light was through the media, and, dare one say it, the unions, which were not permitted to intervene directly, but had been able to gain some publicity for the most outrageous atrocities. Had they the kind of access they were guaranteed before WorkChoices, they would have saved considerable suffering and at least three lives. There are times when balance just doesn’t work. Rudd must not forget which side he is really on.

Picture perfect Congratulations to Hans Lovejoy for his amazing photo (Echo, August 28) of Philip Ruddock crawling out from under the rock where he lives. Catching Ruddock undressed (no suit and tie) is a major coup. It deďŹ nes the expression, ‘picture perfect’.

Thanks again Many thanks to Councillors for keeping faith with the community of South Golden Beach and North Ocean Shores residents and for giving us another chance to realise the long awaited Helen Street bridge. By reserving the funding for us until the new plan is evaluated and reported on we have a breathing space to have hope. The community intends to work closely with Council on this project to make sure that what goes out to tender is a realistic and affordable design in order to avoid wasting any more public money on expensive consultancies and studies that take us backwards instead of forwards. We have some excellent and experienced engineering help on hand to see this through to the end and hats off to Council for realising this fact and having the

Planning for the mums and dads The Planning Minister has never had – and still doesn’t have – the power to fire councils (‘Frank takes charge’, Letters, August 21). And no new laws relating to the planning system were passed in the last few weeks. The government can, however, appoint a planning panel or administrator to exercise planning functions of a council. This power is designed to be used spar-

ingly. In fact, it has been law for 15 months and has only been used once in that time – to appoint a planning panel to progress an LEP in Burwood which has been stalled for years. Importantly, Burwood Council voted in support of this move. Around 70% of development applications in NSW are residential; in other words, mostly mums and dads wanting to renovate their homes. They are enti-

tled to expect their DAs will be assessed in a timely manner. If there are systemic problems with a particular council, or an intractable issue which a council can’t resolve, the government will take appropriate action to get the system working efďŹ ciently. Where proposals are dealt with by the NSW government, our Major Project laws ensure the community

integrity to honour their promise to give us a go. We are so delighted with today’s outcome but cautiously see it as just another positive step in the right direction. We are holding off on the champagne until we can ‘crown the bridge with it’ . If all goes to plan that moment may come within the next 6 months. Many thanks again from all of us bridge supporters

in conversation but I am never prepared for the feeling of knowing I will never see her face again. Every day I smile and remember the fun we used to have, she made me laugh, and she made me mad, but most of all she was my friend. I struggle with the loss of my friend but more than anything I miss seeing the enjoyment she would have had with my boys. I want to show off to her and brag a little (or a lot) about how clever and funny they are becoming and just how much Jack looks like her. So I send this message to my mum, I miss you deeply every day, you would be proud of all of your kids and, of course, your grandsons. We stick together, talk a lot, but most of all we remember you as the greatest mum ever. You taught us to be strong and now that strength has bonded us to battle through without you. I love you heaps and miss you madly, I know you are by our sides every day (I can smell the patchouli oil) but I just wish we could share just one more bottle of red or a gallop through the mountains.

Missing Carol Who would have thought time would pass by so quickly. This Wednesday September 5 is the two year anniversary since my mum, Carol Page, passed away. Life has moved forward rapidly for our family since this day, we moved from the mountains to Queensland and our beautiful boys grow bigger every day. But like a kick in the guts by a big horse, the wind is knocked from me as I remember, like it was only yesterday, the day I walked into that cosy little cottage to ďŹ nd mum resting peacefully in her armchair never to wake again. It can happen in the middle of the night or while deep

In reply to Milica Loncar, Fresh Projects, re the Splendour residents survey (Letters, August 28). I was one of the 302 residents push-polled by their phone survey. How it could have passed any independent scrutiny is beyond me. I am not surprised the Splendour organisers had such an apparent positive response to their ‘survey’. On July 24 at approximately 2.30 pm I was one invited to answer some questions about festivals and other events in Byron Shire. The questions were offered without any of the usual – on a scale of 1 to 5, strongly agree/ strongly disagree etc. Instead, I was left asking for continued overleaf

is informed earlier and given more detailed information than before. For example, proponents are now obliged to respond to issues raised in public submissions and that response is made public. I believe NSW has the framework to support the best planning system in Australia. The government

is committed to further planning reforms to help achieve that. We will consult with councils and local communities this year to help make the planning system even more efficient for mums and dads and the State economy. Frank Sartor

Did anyone else have the same experience? I’ve actually doodled ‘Yes Minister’ in my diary, along with a few of their lines of questioning. But it was too amateur and brazen for Sir Humphrey. I’d only agreed initially to take part (normally give those call centre types short shrift) after I’d asked in passing who the survey was commissioned by and was advised I would only be told that once I’d completed it. Got me interested, who doesn’t enjoy a mystery?. So I said yes, ďŹ re away.. Then after the five minutes of farce, to ďŹ nd out it was a mob called Fresh Projects, Who? That was a bit of a fizzer. I thought afterwards it might have been the Bluesfest people. They had some questions about it as well as Yelgun. But no, it’s the City of Splendour aka the North Byron Shire Parklands (aka the Billinudgel Nature Reserve)

No joke I read the J Rose letter of July 24 concerning a memorial for the whale calf that was washed up at Casuarina Beach. So J Rose, you think that the death of a whale calf by human intervention should be classed as an April Fools’ joke do you? Well, I just hope you never have to call on a vet to put a pet of yours down for whatever reason, mate. Yes, we regard those whales as very special creatures, and every one that dies at the hands of humans is a crime against nature – yes, Rose, a crime. Just like the crime if the Japanese whaling eet have their way and slaughter 935 Minke, 50 Fin and 50 Humpback whales. That’s no April Fools’ joke, Rose.

Would we like to be on the Tweed side? Q Interesting to read that the President of the Ocean Shores Community (OSCA) Association, David Hall, says that his group has ‘no policy of merging with the Tweed’. Yet at least three prominent members of his association (including two recent presidents) have been promoting that cause for some years. Perhaps, David, you don’t read the Tweed ‘local’ papers that inundate our northern shire gardens. Your fellow members tend to promote the proposed merger in the Tweed papers rather than local. They say they have almost enough signatures to get a government review of

their proposal. David, have they not been telling you everything? And then you lament that other community associations in the north don’t want to play with yours! I would have thought that OSCA would be more interested in preventing a merger with the Tweed. Have you not noticed that Pottsville (like us, they are in the far reaches of their shire) is continually complaining about lack of funds and public works from the Tweed Council? What could we expect from Tweed Council’s administrators? (Did you hear their elected council

was sacked and an investigation into corruption was undertaken?) We’d get one hell of a lot less than we presently get from Byron (as little as that is). But we’d probably get a lot more interest from developers. Perhaps it’s lucky that Byron Bay residents are largely unaware of the merger push. Because if the north of the shire went to Tweed, that would leave Byron Bay hanging without an adequate rate base and hence a sure merger with Ballina or Lismore. Oh no, then Byron Bay would be on the far flung edges, and largely overlooked! Surely

these are scenarios that con- sports ďŹ elds and the danger of ood created by opening cern OSCA? R Whitling the Kallaroo Circuit Bund. Well, let’s get this sorted.

It was Jan Mangleson with others who voted for the opening of the bund that is now going to be a nightmare for residents living in the north of the Shire. Yes, we would all like and feel we deserve our villages to be given more money in the budget, and yes there is a way to get it. Think long and hard about who you are going to vote for in the upcoming elections but remember the grass is not necessarily greener on the other side.

Heavens! Having read John Campbell’s review of As It Is In Heaven, after seeing the film, I can only suggest that he stick to reviews of rugby league matches, where drama, character development, human interaction and intellectual involvement required are about as deep as the muddy puddle in the middle of the pitch.

I had the good fortune to see a film titled Into Great Silence the night before. Not for cynics or Hollywood action hero fans. This is a doco set in a 1000 year old Carthusian monastery in a secluded valley in the French Alps, and follows a year in the lives of its 30 or so monks. The film is nearly three hours long and moves at the pace of a snail on tranquillisers. The monks h ave renounced all personal possessions to live in isolation, observing rituals and routines unchanged for hundreds of years, in prayer and meditation, introverted and self-centred, shedding all worldliness, in an attempt to become one with their god. They are secure in the faith that everything that happens in this world is the will of their benign god. They are supported by the greater Catholic Church, as little

can be grown in the short, snow-free summer and the rugged terrain of their sun deprived valley. The Silence is about denial and self indulgence but also community, faith and voluntary simplicity. The film is a meditation in itself and I, a lifelong atheist, found it to be one of the most engaging movies I have ever seen. A greater contrast than that with Heaven is hard to imagine. In two hours it depicts the life of a passionately involved musical genius who, having reached the height of international acclaim as a conductor, burns himself out and nearly dies at a relatively young age, returning to live in the village of his early childhood in Sweden to recuperate. He becomes involved in the lives of the locals when he takes up the post of cantor for the very amateurish church choir.

Superbly cast and acted, beautifully paced, anyone with experience of living in a small country town with ‘traditional’ values will find it real and easy to relate to. With its many characters with their foibles, prejudices, secrets, violence, obsessions, narrow-mindedness, jealousy, but also love, solidarity and community, Heaven is unashamedly melodramatic, life affirming and feel-good. A great film, but not for cynics and Hollywood action hero fans. Ed Buivids

Mullumbimby Q Having read the jaundiced review of As It Is In Heaven by John Campbell in last week’s Echo I can only conclude that we saw different versions of this fine, uplifting Swedish film. Rather than being filled with the mawkish sentimentality described by John the film gently

embraces difficult themes such as domestic violence, intellectual disability and religious hypocrisy, while always paying primary homage to its characters. And what a wonderful bunch of characters they are: from the vibrant and beautiful Lena to the tortured and twisted Pastor and the talented and ailing conductor Daniel. The performances are fine and in the case of lead actor, Michael Nyquist, outstanding. The film celebrates the strength of community and the things that tie us together rather than wrench us apart. The choir was not a happy, simple group of singers but a volatile mix of strong, gentle and vulnerable people from a small community. There were tears, jealousies and cathartic moments encompassing the full spectrum of complex human emotions. And there was no

predictable happy ending. Rather when Daniel and Lena had finally found true happiness it was wrenched away from them. I make these comments without giving away the entire plot as too many film reviews do. John’s review told me all the major story elements rather than allowing them to reveal themselves. I for one am tired of film reviewers who give away the twists and turns of plot which make movies such a personal, engrossing and entertaining journey. I have sung in many community choirs and have always been fascinated by the way such a disparate group of people slowly reveal themselves and learn to trust and even love each other through the special bond created by singing together. I am not one of the ‘shire of healers’ he so disparagingly continued on page 16

Mullum High actors tackle complex satire Axel Smythe Knowing that theatre craft is a highly complex skill, Drama teacher at Mullumbimby High School Marisa McEwan has taken on an enormous project with her Year 11 students in order to give them the tools with which to gain creative independence in the future. Taking her inspiration from mentor and local legend in the drama world Rob Owens, and drawing on her 20 years of teaching experience, live performance experience and her degree in Drama, Marisa has extended her students well beyond the HSC course requirements by directing them in a production of The Life of Insects. ‘Knowing that theatre is a powerful means of communication through art I felt it was really important to offer my students the creative independence theatre craft gives,’ said Marisa. ‘You can’t teach theatre in 50 minute time slots, so in order to participate in this excellence program the students have had to give up their own time to work on this production outside school hours.’ Drawing on the wealth of creative talent in this region, Marisa has been able to

build an impressive production crew including musical director Vasudha who has composed a soundtrack and worked on melody lines with the students; flautist Mia Forrest; costume designer Carissa Cox; lighting designer Bobbi RossiniSainsbury and production manager Jem Edwards, who was a scenic engineer for the Royal Shakespeare Company and now works for Rag

Doll Productions in the UK, who has given up his holiday time to work with the students on this play. Leonie Mills also conducted acrobatics workshops for the students who are performing the roles of ants, and the extremely talented Cerise took some stunning photographs and designed the poster. This challenging piece of theatre is the work of Czech

brothers Karel and Josef Capek, a prolific writing team that was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for Literature in 1936. The inspiration for the play was the ominous advance of Adolf Hitler and his eventual invasion of then Czechoslovakia.The brothers were vehemently anti fascism and anti war and used this work to portray the hideous manifestations of human nature through social insects. Karel Capek died in 1938 just after Hitler invaded Czechoslovakia; Josef died in Belsen in 1945. The play is based on the life of a vagrant who finds himself displaced in a world of insects, and demonstrates the different philosophies of life with a strong anti war message. A political satire, the very topical subject matter is given a lighter, more comic feel by the playful interpretation of the serious subject matter by the students, who have come up with some beautiful concepts to bring a refreshing youthfulness to the work. ‘The students have worked as directors and designers on the text throughout term one to come up with some really interesting ways to express themselves in this piece,’ said Marisa. ‘They have gained experience in

not only acting and stage craft, but also learned the bigger picture that is theatre production such as how to issue press releases, organise props and staging etc. ‘They have learned all the machinations of being in a theatre company; in essence they have formed their own theatre company, that is the Mullumbimby High Youth Theatre.’ Marisa has been delighted to have the full backing of the school for this project, in fact Mullum High has underwritten all the costs, making the production possible. She hopes to be able to recoup the outlays in ticket sales, and certainly this looks like a performance not to be missed. Tickets are on sale now at Mary Ryans Byron Bay, The Bookshop Mullumbimby, and from the school. Performances kick off on Thursday September 6 with a student preview at 11am, tickets $7 each; evening performances on Thursday 6, Friday 7 and Saturday 8 at 7.30pm; matinee on Sunday September 9 and 1pm and Sunday evening at 7pm. Tickets cost $15 for adults; $12 adult concession and $10 children. All performances at the Byron Community and Cultural Centre.

Dreaming a trip to Uluru ‘Have you ever wanted to go to Uluru ? Are you inspired by the ancient wisdom of our Aboriginal Elders?’ ask organisers of an expedition there. Oceana, well known for her OzTantra Workshops, and local naturopath Suzanne Staples will be taking a group of women on ‘an amazing six-day journey to the Heart and Spirit of the Centre to connect with the Earth and the Sacred Energy of this land. The group of women will be participating in Sacred Ceremony and Ritual with Aboriginal Elder women, a unique and rare opportunity. ‘During this spectacular Uluru Dreaming Heart and Spirit Retreat, September 24-29, the women will also be experiencing deep processes, meditations and rituals that will draw them into the sacredness of this powerful place, walking the Sacred Valley of the Winds Track at Kata Tjuta (The Olgas) and sleeping under the stars at Mt. Connor (a sacred site).’ If you would like to join them, find out more from Oceana on 6680 3504 or Suzanne on 6680 1918, info@heartandspirit.com.au, www.heartandspirit.com.au.

Letters

Drums keep pounding a rhythm to my brain Q Pro drumming letters in last week’s Echo confirm what some of us have suspected for some time. Hearing loss among drummers is widespread and their view of the world is limited to an area deďŹ ned by their own aura. It is also a mystery that the joy derived from drumming and dancing is so very site speciďŹ c. Recent reports of protests by drummers about the ban on drumming at the Mullumbimby market invite a review of the market and its origins, along with some of the issues raised by the

furore. Brunswick Valley Historical Society (BVHS) has been the licensee for the Mullumbimby market (beginning the market in June 1989) for the purpose of providing an income for the society which owns its own building and pays its own way. The society costs not one cent of ratepayers’ dollars, and gives to the community far more than it receives. It is still lost on many people that we are totally self funded, that the market is what keeps the museum there for Australia Day, school visits, exhibi-

tions, historical photographs, books and information and a highly regarded Work for the Dole program. Drummers seeking to impose their will on others forget this, revealing an annoying level of both amnesia and ignorance. Management of drumming at all Byron shire markets is done within the context of the shire market policy which is very speciďŹ c on many matters including noise levels. The issue came to a head at Mullumbimby because the agreement between the BVHS market manager and drummers coming regularly to the market was broken by drummers playing relentlessly for a long time beyond the agreed time and at noise levels well above the legal limits. There is no cohesion among drummers; they observe no binding self regulation. Harsha Prabhu is the oft quoted spokesperson for a Drum and Dance Collective (DDC) which we understand has met but reached no consensus on anything. Through the media he also claims to want to meet the BVHS management committee but has never contacted us to do so. The meeting we had with him and fellow drummer Kevin Jarvis on July 21 was arranged through Byron Shire Council, and it was a positive one. But public statements since then conďŹ rm that the drummers don’t remember why

Professionalism in glass splashbacks

O

cean Shores Glass & Screens & Splashbacks. No, that name won’t work; it’s too long to write on a cheque. Sorry about that, just thinking out loud? Glass splashbacks in over 180,000 different colours and then some. There are unlimited uses of solid colour mirrors. Well, that’s what your splashback, pool fence, balustrade, table top, shower and bathroom walls are going to be once your own colour choice is formulated and applied to ‘A’ grade toughened glass panels will look like. What’s new: Metallic – bright and bold, throw a couple of halogen lights on them and it’s just like you see in glossy magazines, very bloody impressive! What’s not: People who believe everything they see on home renovation type shows and who want silver mirror behind stoves and cook tops. NO, NO, NO, toughened silver mirror is a “NO – NO’, get the message!

the ban was imposed in the ďŹ rst place – they broke an agreement based on the need to comply with the market policy. This dialogue between drummers and BVHS has been going on for more than 12 months. Claims have been made that drumming is part of market culture and that tourism will suffer if it stops. At Mullumbimby market drummers made their ďŹ rst appearance only three or four years ago, so BVHS does not see it as part of the culture. Our market has also never been promoted as a tourist attraction, unlike the big Byron Bay and Bangalow markets. The Mullumbimby market is all over by mid afternoon, hardly worth coming from the other side of the world for. The fact that Harsha Prabhu is apparently still calling for the ban to be lifted, along with an extension of the time limit, shows very clearly that he has neither heard nor understood any of the issues behind it. The discussion he had in July with BVHS representatives and Byron Shire Council staff made the challenge for drummers very clear: keep the noise within the market policy limits of ďŹ ve decibels above ambient noise levels. continued from page 13

There may be some drummers who understand that limitation, but it’s obvious that most of the drumming circle don’t want to know. With that in mind, members of the Drumming and Dance Collective are invited to gather somewhere else. The policy, like the BVHS ban, stands. Robyn Gray

Honorary Secretary Brunswick Valley Historical Society Q I respect Robin Harrison as a community cultural activist of some standing. While I agree with Robin that the drum circle is an ‘impromptu gathering’, I take exception to his comment that ‘there is no ofďŹ cial organisation, no ofďŹ cial representatives’. The facts of the case are: the Drum & Dance Collective met as an ‘organisation’ on Sunday July 29 at Ewingsdale Hall, with over 50 members attending, including Robin. In fact, Robin was one of the key speakers and was instrumental in ensuring that a consensus approach to the issue of the drumming ban was adopted by the group. Further, at the end of this meeting, it was agreed that I would continue to represent the group (as I had being a suspect in the bombing at Glasgow Airport. He was traced by electronic cameras reading his car registration plate as he travelled along the motorway. Within a few minutes of the authorities putting a trace out, he was found and arrested thanks to state of the art surveillance equipment.

The problem is that many victims cannot afford

The Drum & Dance Collective, as an organisation, however unofďŹ cial, has been spearheading the campaign to get drumming and dancing the recognition it deserves for the last two months. This campaign has included: a support petition with over 1600 signatures (which has now been tabled at a meeting of Byron Shire Council); a meeting with Brunswick Valley Historical Society to resolve the issue of the ban (unsuccessful); two very productive demonstrations against the ban at the Mullumbimby markets; and submissions to Byron Council to include drumming and dancing in market licences. I understand and appreciate that Robin may have a congenital antipathy to anything that may appear to have the label ‘organisation’ to it. But, without the efforts of the Drum & Dance Collective, all of the above simply would not have eventuated. Put that in your pipe and smoke it, Robin! Harsha Prabhu

In Azerbaijan a nine storey building collapses and hundreds are killed and injured. Again, the authorities will spend days trying to identify the victims. A house fire in the USA claims the lives of ďŹ ve people, all burnt to a cinder – totally unrecognisable apart from dental records too out of date to really help. In Iraq a car bomb explodes killing 24, and seriously wounding 50 others. continued on page 18

Michael McDonald Byron Shire Council’s meeting last Thursday was a lively one. Toddlers rattled the wooden louvres, students from Wilsons Creek Public School listened attentively for an entire hour, and residents booed and cheered at appropriate moments. Two councillors missed the gaiety. Bob Tardif was ill, probably struck down by the u which plagues this correspondent and a good portion of the Shire, and Ross Tucker was savouring the tropical delights of Fiji, all thoughts on the Adoption of the Review of the Stormwater Management Service Charge Policy no doubt unheeded. There was also an outbreak of plaque presentation, Cr Lazarus offering up one from the Arakwal Corporation for Council’s help on NAIDOC, Stephen Long from the Surf Life Saving Association handing over plaques and ags, while Cr Jan Mangleson took on the role of Council photographer for the occasion. I wonder where Council stores all its plaques and certiďŹ cates of appreciation – The Echo’s walls are practically held together by bits of paper bearing ornamental ourishes. The chief barbecue-stopper*, as our beloved PM might put it, was of course the fate of the Helen Street bridge. Indefatigable bridge booster Maggie Brown led the charge at public access, supported by engineer Ross Harding. Their success is recorded in the news pages. You have to hand it to the Helen Street crew for their determination and their ability to pull in experts to aid their cause. Their bridge designer Tony Baggio was described to me as ‘the prince of darkness in bridge building’ in the nicest possible way. Ross Harding backed up that view of his virtuosity, saying Baggio’s design was easy to build, cost effective and would come in around $350,000, a good deal less than the $900,000 to $1.4 million quoted by tenderers. I checked our online search engine on this riveting saga

Cr Terry Gilliam guards the Bridge of Death, which took slightly less time to build than the Helen Street bridge.

and found that on March 23, 2004, just before the council election, we recorded on the front page: ‘SGB Bridge secured at last: Byron Shire Council has voted unanimously to foot the entire cost for the Helen Street Bridge. At an extraordinary meeting last Thursday to review the budget and management plan, Councillors resolved to take a loan for 100% of the construction costs, which at a rough estimate will run to around $175,000, and to repay the amount at a rate of $18,000 per annum until the debt is discharged. This momentous decision is sure to please hundreds of residents in the North of Ocean Shores and the inland section of South Golden Beach after an eight year long campaign of planning, lobbying and consulting.’ Eleven years and ďŹ ngers still crossed. Also during public access Bangalow resident Stephen Lewis lobbied for approval to use Tyagarah airďŹ eld for his skydiving business. Mr Lewis told Councillors he had been skydiving for over 20 years and had represented Australia. Council staff had recommended refusing Mr Lewis’s application as it does not meet the relevant policy. Councillors later voted 8-0 to defer the matter, chiey on Cr Kestle’s desire to discuss it with Cr Tucker, who is the man on the Tyagarah AirďŹ eld Management Committee. Apparently Cr Tucker does not own a mobile phone and thus cannot be hunted down on the white sands of Matamanoa. While the delays suffered by Mr Lewis are not as long as those of the South Golden Beach residents, it should be noted that his current DA has been with Council since March 2006. Peter Bundy of local ISP Linknet then asked Councillors to consider allowing him to use for a fee the communications tower at the back of the Mullum Civic Hall – he estimated an additional 100150 wireless punters could

be serviced via the tower.The tower is currently regarded as an eyesore and scheduled for removal but as Mr Bundy noted, most people say, ‘What tower?’. I waddled downtown to check it out and can report it remains much as I saw it years ago when amateur theatre was presented in the hall, from the Non-SpeciďŹ c Players’ The Alien Tapes to the edgling NORPA’s production of Lilies of the Paddock, starring two editors-to-be of this paper’s entertainment section.The hall facade, however, looks very sad, belying the Tidy Town plaques stuck to it. Sandy McKee of Byron Bay Lions called on Councillors to cut Council charges associated with the staging of the two day Taste of Byron carnival in September – see www.atasteofbyron.com. We learnt among other things that the Pope of Peppers from Albuquerque, New Mexico, will be ying in for the Chilli Festival day. As for omens, no chicken entrails were examined on the day but I can report that the paper map of North Ocean Shores detailing possible infrastructure spending fell off the wall towards the end of the bridge debate. As the Wilsons Creek children were leaving, Mayor Barham asked one of the staffers to see they had the relevant local government information brochures. ‘They’d probably prefer a lolly,’ suggested Cr Tom Tabart. * The origin of the word ‘barbecue’ is disputed. It may derive from ‘barbe a queue’, in which a beast is cooked ‘from beard to tail’ in French. It may also be a derivation of the Spanish ‘barbacoa’, perhaps from Arawak ‘barbacoa’ – ‘wooden frame on posts’ (used in cooking meat). Note also that the word ‘buccaneer’, for pirates of the Caribbean, comes from French ‘boucanier’, from boucan ‘a frame on which to cook or cure meat’.

The heat so fierce it melts the identity of many. No-one knows who these poor people are. And that is just a sample of a day in our modern world. There is hope though. A proposal is being put forward to microchip all children at birth, and enter their personal data into a worldwide, centralised database. A simple injectable chip inserted in the nape of the neck is all it would take. We do it to our pets, so surely it cannot be all that bad? It would save time, money, resources and some say, help to reduce the spread of terrorism. We could read and reprogram these chips at any time. Use them rather than passports or other types of ID. Forget credit and credit cards – just stand within 1 metre of a terminal and your data would be read automatically and your bank account debited. You wouldn’t even need a car key – just simply walk up to your vehicle and the door would unlock. No cheque books. Crime would decrease as CCTV cameras would be upgraded to read your ID thus helping with anti social behaviour problems in our inner cities. Underage drinkers would be automatically refused entry to bars and clubs. The list of

advantages goes on and on. Tax and social benefit fraud would be all but eliminated. The downside? Personal liberty. But surely only those afraid of their personal guilt should be worried? Hugh Downie

Praising BBHS I am a Canadian teacher and an artist on exchange from Campbell River, BC, Canada. I have traded houses and jobs with another teacher for one year. I have moved to Lennox Head with my wife, and two boys, who attend Lennox Head Public school. I teach art at Byron Bay High School. We are loving our time here. This area is wonderful, full of friendly people and fantastic nature. The surf, sun, and sand are a magical combination. I spend much of my spare time painting local ocean scenes. The style of my paintings change as I am influenced by the students of BBHS. I often bring my paintings in for advice and suggestions from the students. People ask me if students are more difficult here at BBHS or in Canada. And I tell them that kids are kids, full of emotions and energy and ideas, all trying to figure out how to fit in. They are neither better nor worse,

they are all simply different. BBHS is a good learning institute that accommodates students with all their variations. The school has a welcoming comfortable feeling to it. Achievement seems to be high in all disciplines. Two programs that I have been involved with at BBHS are the fine arts and the sports programs. The arts program is strong at BBHS. I spend most of the time in the art department where I witness wonderful work getting done. There are some outstanding artists in year 12. Under the competent leadership of Mrs Hubbard they have created very mature bodies of work for their HSC. The year 12s will have their art displayed in the Performing Arts Centre for September 6. The opening for the show will be 6pm. The artistic talent spreads through all the grades. I am very impressed with the quality and creativity of all the levels, from year 7 to year 12. Students seem to be more artistically intelligent than the art students I teach in Campbell River. They have more knowledge of artists, art history, and art vocabulary. They possess an artistic confidence which allows them to creatively experiment. Thus, many students are creating quite mature works of art.

Driving up house prices Much is in the news about the threat of the sub-prime mortgage crisis in the US destabilising the share market and bringing down the economy. ‘The risk of massive defaults on sub-prime mortgages now poses a bigger threat to US economic prosperity than terrorism’ a panel of US business economists said on Monday August 27. Meanwhile the issue of affordable housing in Australia, with record home repossessions, is also growing apace. Property prices have doubled in many areas and interest rates keep rising in

spite of the federal government’s promise that they wouldn’t. But over the period of the ‘economic boom’ wages have only grown 2%-3% a year. Though most of the state budgets have cut land tax and stamp duty and increased spending on public housing, reports indicate that affordability is worse in Australia than any other English speaking country in the OECD. Developers argue that affordability could be fixed by releasing more land for residential development, but the reality is that only 10%

of people buy house and land packages, 90% buy established housing. According to property journalist Terry Ryder, the affordability problem relates to the high market price of established homes in established areas and opening new land will do little to change that. Record company profits, generous executive salary packages and a buoyant share market is what has driven the rise and rise at the top end of the residential property market

In comparison with other drama programs that I have seen, the program at BBHS is nothing short of outstanding. The passion and the maturity of both the teacher and the students is infectious. The performances that I have seen have been wonderful, full of emotion and creativity. I have been spellbound a number of times watching some of the HSC performances. I am amazed at the musical talent of students at Byron Bay High. I have listened to soft acoustic guitar sounds mixed with soothing soft voices. I have also found the need to protect my hearing with the loud teenagestyle drum and guitar music mixed with screaming singing. At BBHS music students have the chance to chase their musical dreams. Two other programs under the umbrella of fine arts are multi media and photography. In both of these two programs students are able to create art with cameras, both still and video cameras. Some of the work done this year has been of a superior quality. If I had to take one thing from the Australian system back to Campbell River, I would take the sports programs. Each Wednesday afternoon students are provided with a chance to experience many different activities: yoga, gymnastics, surfing, swimming, snorkeling, circus, skateboarding, tennis, and other sports. It exposes students to a variety of activities and encourages lifelong pursuits. How good it is that students get a chance to try all the activities that Byron Bay has to offer. From my point of view Byron Bay High is a good education facility with strong programs. I feel quite fortunate to be living and teaching in this area. When the time comes in January, it will be tough to leave this area.

The week’s ‘Horse Flu’ events have shown it can do the job well. But the joke is on RLP Board’s 130,000 (approximately) ratepayers – both the overwhelming thousands of minimum ratepayers and all the others. They are paying to keep the racing industry going. The racing industry laughs all the way to the bank – after it has stood down all its casual employees, all it has to moan about is a loss of income. ‘Non-users’ on RLP rated lifestyle blocks, macadamia farms, coffee plantations, wheat and other grain growers – and more – are seeing their rates used up while the horse industry contributes nothing but words – and ‘spin words’ at that. The public purse bears the cost of beating the Horse Flu problem, yet the industry bewails the fate of the workers. And adding insult to injury for the ratepayers Little Johnny opens the public purse to give ‘out of work’ support to these strappers, grooms, stablehands, jockeys – and all the rest. They should have help, yes, but from the industry – or from the public purse? And the industry should be paying for its own Early Warning System for Animal Disease. There’ll be lots of mud thrown, but here’s a clear picture: the objective of the RLP Act is ‘To provide for – the coordination and delivery of certain animal health, animal production and pest control activities, and drought and natural disaster activities’ – quoted from 2004 Report: Review of the Act. The key function of the Boards is an Animal Disease Early Warning system. That’s why all of the present ‘system’ is arranged around the veterinarians employed by each board. Now we see horses and their industries are part of the scene though most obvious diseases were clearly ‘mad cow’ and ‘foot and mouth’. But have a think about Avian Flu, and about pig farmers – and more. What of these?

The Act’s name must change to Animal Disease Early Warning Act or similar. Who should pay for this early warning system? Just change the question slightly – Who pays when disease strikes? A week ago I suggested the answer was those people who benefit from an industry free of animal disease. Now it’s the horse racing public, other related groups like trainers (and on and on), stud farms and other producers of horses – all of these benefit and are the true beneficiaries of the Animal Disease Early Warning System Hence, on the user pays principle, cost of the Animal Disease Early Warning System for horses should be spread across the horse groups. For sheep and cattle industries etc etc, those groups should pay, including the meat eating, wool using public. It is high time the load was removed from non-users who are the majority of present RLP ratepayers

Oh brother How is it that if I don’t vote, I get fined? The Exclusive Brethren openly defy voting in Australian elections, yet they get a chummy little visit from the Prime Minister? Howard says it is proper to talk with Australian citizens. Obviously he thinks talking to cults is also proper. That Howard is astonished that people are complaining about his meeting with the Exclusive Brethren is astonishing in itself! It’s time to get rid of this old, decrepit government, led by an old and decrepit man, who is jumping into bed with anyone if it means hanging onto power. Peter Conde

Articles Long may the Blue Fleet sail

Story & photo Mary Gardner

The recent stormy weather tests the branches of trees on land and whips up the sea. The wind blows the creamy waves and froth ashore. Of course we’re out walking. The sand blasts against our skin. The clouds puff up and glower. Between gasps of rain, we’re checking up on the tidal news of the Blue Fleet of the Tasman Sea. Sir Alistair Hardy, a marine biologist from Plymouth, UK, of the early 20th century, first named this assemblage of soft blue ocean drifters. Physalia. Glaucus. Janthina. Velella. Bluebottle. Blue sea slug. Violet shell. Blue ‘Sail by the Wind’. On the sand are the bluebottles Physalia utriculus. They are a colony, a marine beehive. One indivdual becomes the puffy air sac. Others become the trailing tentacles with their automatic harpoons full of venom. These nematocysts can be triggered regardless if the colony is alive or dead. The fierce stingers can pierce surgical gloves. Avoid treading on bluebottles! Sometimes, we spot another small blue wonder, a sea slug, a nudibranch, a snail with no shell, whatever. Glaucus atlanticus. With its special grace, it floats through the sea on the bluebottles, eating its tentacles. It ingests the nematocysts without setting them off. It stores them in a special sac and uses them for its own defense. Careful handling these blue blobs! On the shore are the blue to violet shells Janthina. There are three species but

we only see one. Why? Who can say? Using its special snail mucus, this creature blows blue bubbles which act as a raft of floats so it can travel away on the sea with its blue friends. It eats jellyfish. Perhaps even Physalia? We look for the tough thin Velella, ‘sail by the wind’. Its small blue tentacles are barely noticeable there under its clear blue disc and sail. But Velella is not to be seen today. The Blue Companions wander the open ocean, as alien to our landlubber ways as can be. Just as we do, they all start as eggs. But Physalia and Velella are members of the Cnidaria, a group who all have nematocysts. The Cnidarian life cycle can have two wildly differing stages: one as a medusa or jellyfish and another as an anemone. Different species do one or other or both. Meanwhile Glaucus and Janthina are members of Mollusca. Glaucus are hermaphrodites, being both male and female in one encounter. Are Janthina hermaphrodites too? Given their gypsy lifestyle, they could be. If only we could examine a few specimens. Snail dissections are a university biology class highlight. Of all the ones I did, I never did a Janthina. Likely someone has and I could look it up. Like so much of our knowledge of local ecology, the vital details of these four species are snippets passed on to anyone who will listen over literally the centuries. Different information comes from different directions. I

heard it from my lab instructor. I read it in my New Zealand professor’s book, published by an English University. He dissected many more snails than I did. He also told me what he heard from his professor. The stories go way back. Other snippets are passed on by the generations of local fishers and beach walkers. These are often anecdotes, oral notes so vulnerable to social disruption and changes in lifestyles and economics. Blowing on the wind much as the Blue Fleet does. So how to read this latest issue of the tidal news? Though the bedraggled stragglers are at their worst, there is a certain comfort in knowing the Blue Fleet is still out there. But how does the Fleet fare as a whole? In the 1930s, Sir Hardy designed a plankton tow and a sampling program of the North Atlantic which continues today. By 1990, two thirds of the catch is now identified as very small plastic, in sizes down to 20 microns, the thickness of human hair. Plastics don’t break down. They only get smaller, sink somewhat and start riding the ocean currents. Pesticides and other chemicals bond to the particles. These toxic bits are now ‘food’ for the Blue Fleet in other parts of the world. And here? Could we sample our plankton too? Dare we? Q Mary Gardner is a writer, biologist and tutor.

Field day on macadamia canopy management A macadamia seminar and field day is being held at the NSW DPI Centre for Tropical Horticulture, Alstonville on Wednesday September 26. It will commence at 2pm sharp with presentations in the CTH conference room followed by afternoon tea then a walk through the CTH orchard. The impact of canopy management practices on light relations, flowering and fruit set and orchard yield will be discussed. Results

will be presented from an experiment commenced in 2004 by Dr David Huett, where canopy architecture treatments were imposed on six year old cv.849 trees to improve light distribution in canopies. Macadamias have very dense canopies that cause severe internal shading. Shading is also an issue in mature orchards through crowding. Three years later, the impact of this shading will be presented and options discussed for the manage-

ment of both developing and mature orchards. The CTH Alstonville orchard is approaching optimum tree height above which excessive shading of the orchard floor will be detrimental to the survival of smother grass planted in the inter-row. NSW DPI staff will present both experimental and commercial data. For more information contact Dr David Huett on 6626 2443.

History and arts work together

From left, Gordon Wright, Brunswick Valley Historical Society Vice President, Joan Kelly, Arts Northern Rivers Museum Development Officer, and Christopher Gray, President of BVHS.

Members of the Brunswick Valley Historical Society met Joan Kelly, Arts Northern Rivers Museum Development Officer in Mullumbimby last week to share ideas of how they may work together in the future. Ms Kelly recently took up duty through an Arts Northern Rivers local government partnership designed to support north coast museums.

Ms Kelly has had a variety of museum experiences including at Norfolk Island and Winton in Queensland and is based in Alstonville for her new job. Matters raised by volunteers at Mullumbimby included how to deal with document storage in humidity, best housing for farm machinery, and the steps needed to complete a

collection inventory. A work plan is being devised that will allow Ms Kelly to spread her time across a number of needy museums and she is expected to return to Mullumbimby for specific project work later in the year. Anyone interested in joining the volunteer team should phone 6688 4356 for information.

Articles Alexandra’s zebras go gold for HK

Alexandra Spyratos body painted by Zen Player and Aly Cat. Photo Rachel Mackay

Ever extending her zones and reinventing her stripey representation of the regal zebra, local artist Alexandra Spyratos takes her ‘Shimmer Show’ to The Cat Street Gallery in the heart of the business district Sheung Wan, Hong Kong. For this show, her medium sees a new direction from uorescence into the elegance and glamour of gold

and silver leaf. Adding a fresh and energetic dimension to her art, the shine and shimmer is reective of the heat of the artist’s Savannah homelands. Her paintings, rich and heavily layered with thick oils between the metallics, recreate the physicality of the wild that inspires her. With 22 solo shows behind her Alexandra has become known for her contemporary

Moons rising stars in meteoric telco industry Steve Moon and the team from Coastal Telephone Services have won this year’s Rising Star Award from Telstra Business Systems Pty Ltd. Coastal Telephone Services provide businesses in the region with communications solutions, large or small, from two to 2000 handsets. ‘I have found the Northern Rivers a great place to do business and would like to thank all our customers for their support,’ said Steve. Steve and his wife Jacki came to Ocean Shores three years ago from Sydney. ‘The technology is mov-

ing at an exponential rate but often traditional solutions and lower costs are what regional business require. ‘I’m pleased we’ve been able to supply and service all clients’ individual needs while making sure they are on the right path for the future cost saving technology such as VoIP will bring. ‘We have grown the business signiďŹ cantly in the last two years by offering the customer hardware that Telstra helps ďŹ nance through rebates on their phone bill. It’s an attractive option for local business – a commitment to a carrier in exchange

for heavily discounted equipment.’ The company employs eight people and is growing, according to Steve. Coastal Telephone Services is soon changing its name to Coastal Voice & Data and will offer IT and Network support to new and existing telephone customers. The awards were presented by Olympic swimmer Giaan Rooney pictured below with Steve (centre) and Malcolm Flanagan, Managing Director, Telstra Business Systems Pty Ltd, at this year’s sales conference held in Coffs Harbour.

Between frequent visits to her homeland of Kenya to recapture the essence of the wildlife, the artist travels the world with her vibrant paintings showing her work internationally in New York, Miami, Milan, Sydney, Kenya and Uganda.

Community radio/TV rock Community radio and TV stations are hugely important to the vitality of local communities, say the authors of a groundbreaking study being the other week In the largest project of its kind in the world, researchers from GrifďŹ th University have spent two years interviewing audiences across the country, including listeners of Indigenous stations, ethnic language programs, metropolitan, suburban, regional, rural and remote radio, as well as TV audiences in the emerging community TV sector. The resulting report, Community Media Matters – an audience study of the Australian community broadcasting sector, reveals

the integral role played by community broadcasting as described by some of its more than seven and a half million listeners. Community Media Matters finds that audiences’ reasons for tuning in were overwhelmingly similar – their station offers diversity, alternatives and intimacy, an afďŹ rmation of their community and its values and a welcome escape from the predictability of mainstream media. Audience members were passionate in their responses; people talked about their stations as if they were part of a big family – as accessible and approachable, offering places where communities can connect and providing

accurate representations of Australia’s social and cultural diversity. ‘The community broadcasting sector is a valuable cultural resource,’ says Griffith University researcher Associate Professor Michael Meadows. It contributes to Australia’s rich and diverse heritage through its commitment to maintaining, representing and reproducing local cultures. No other media sector is able to do this.’ Countries around the world look at Australia’s large and dynamic community broadcasting sector with envy – it’s grassroots vitality providing much needed diversity to the Australian media landscape.

Dog owners asked to help wildlife The National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) is asking pet owners to help protect local wildlife by leaving their animals at home when visiting national parks, nature reserves or the marine park in the Byron area. NPWS Area Manager, Sue Walker said everyone is reminded that these areas are important refuge for wildlife and because of their impacts domestic animals including dogs are not permitted.

‘Where conser vation reserves, such as Arakwal National Park, Cape Byron State Conservation Area, Broken Head, Tyagarah and Brunswick Heads Nature Reserves are established the community expects wildlife to be safe from unnecessary human impacts,’ Ms Walker said. ‘It is important people appreciate that the parks and nature reserves include the beaches. ‘These areas are special

places for wildlife and for people to experience a peaceful and natural environment without domestic animals. ‘Domestic animals such as cats and dogs are not permitted in these areas as they prey on and chase native animals, causing them stress and leaving their young unprotected. ‘Dogs can leave a lasting scent that can easily scare small animals and birds away from their homes. Dogs can also interfere with the enjoyment of other people using the parks. ‘There is a high level of awareness within the community regarding the situation where dogs are not permitted in these areas. ‘Advisory signs have been erected to remind visitors that dogs are not permitted in national parks, state conservation areas or nature reserves. People who take their dogs into a national park or a nature reserve risk being issued with an on the spot ďŹ ne.’ Dog exercise areas are provided locally and full details of these areas can be obtained from Byron Shire Council.

Byron Chiropractic Centre Chiropractic is based on the premise that optimal health and wellbeing is governed by the proper functioning of the nervous system. A modern complementation to chiropractic is some of the rehabilitation approaches pioneered by Dr Janda, a Czech neurologist. Janda believed that many problems experienced in modern society stem from a lack of sensory stimulation to the nervous system. Just think about how often we deny sensory input to our bodies by walking on level footpaths, wearing heavy footwear or just lying on the couch. The solution to the problem lies in optimising the functioning of the nervous system through spinal adjustments and then implementing exercises that help restore the normal sensory awareness of the body.

Y O U R

Kat Frankie is a refreshing female artist. For a start unlike a lot of singer songwriters, there is nothing prissy or cutesy pop about her. She’s passion and vigour personiďŹ ed. In fact I’d be more disposed to likening her to Jeff Buckley than Frente. This 28 year old art school graduate is keen to do things her own way. So much so, that back in 2004 she up and moved to Berlin to pursue her career there. ‘I never really felt very much part of the Sydney music scene. I don’t really pay attention to what other people are doing musically. I try to deliberately not listen to other stuff, mostly because when I am not into listening to music I am making music. I like to be on my own trip. For me moving to Berlin was about having a new context and enjoying what the tension of being in a new environment creates. But on taking the risk? On my way there I was scared shitless that I had done this. The plane stopped in New York, and I was sick with fear, I was petriďŹ ed.’

‘The ďŹ rst thing was I did when I was there was go to a show at a place called Chokoladen. I went there and it was a squat venue and there was a band playing called Kitty Solaris and a few weeks later I thought I need to do some shows, and maybe I will track down this chick and so I tracked her down by google and emailed her and she put me onto other people, it was super organic – it amazes me about this town that everyone is so into music. It’s not a competitive place at all. There’s not so much money here but there are heaps of places to play.’

‘That song is a bit of a fairy tale. It’s about the seductive nature of liars and lying and how you can be corrupted by the things that you want to hear even though they are not necessarily true.’

From Berlin to Byron, introducing Kat Frankie

Fortunately Kat Frankie made it to Berlin and got off the plane.

Kat Frankie’s debut album Pocketknife was recorded all over Berlin and is being released through Vitamin here in Australia. The album opens with some curious humming. And then leads into an impressive ballad, Boy Wolf.

CHOOKS CARTONS MEAT TRAYS

The landscape of relationship demise is one of Kat’s favourites for song inspiration. ‘I used to write a lot of break up songs because I enjoy the tension, that critical moment and that internal tug of war, I love that conict. I also write break up songs about my friends break ups. I don’t tell anyone if they are in a song, it’s my secret – it’s never biographical. Sometimes if I am writing about things that are sensitive around me I tend to be more abstract than that, because when I do write it can cut to the bone emotionally.’ Track 3 is Everything Everything. It’s deeply emotional. Raw,

powerful, and intoxicating. But it’s Serves You right for Using Violence where Kat really delivers her massive emotional blow. ‘The song was about friend of a friend who told me about what was happening and it was something where both people were frustrated and they weren’t able to express themselves and communicate properly and violence tends to occur when people feel they can’t communicate, and it’s a document of that. When you don’t feel respected and you don’t have control or power in your relationship.’ One particular track is Berlin Cops

and it reects Frankie’s rather tense relationship with the German constabulary. ‘Berlin cops are pretty intimidating. At any demonstration, the cops will outnumber the demonstrators seven to one. In Berlin they are totally into their public dissent though. The ďŹ rst time I went to May Day where they have a big party and protest, friends said, just make sure you leave before 6pm because that’s when the riot starts. What a typical German thing to do – to schedule a riot!’ KAT FRANKIE PERFORMS AT THE HOTEL GREAT NORTHERN ON SUNDAY.

HOLLY TIX You might have seen her at Splendour in the Grass, so catch her again up close. Holly Throsby headlines at the Bangalow A&I Hall on Tuesday 18 September. We have a double pass giveaway email mandypow@echo.net.au with subject header ‘Good Golly Miss Holly’.

JOKING JORY We have two double passes to see Dave Jory at the Byron Bowling Club on Monday. Email mandypow@echo.net.au with subject header: ‘The Jory Experience’

It’s been a devastating week in Australian sport. Andrew ‘Joey’ Johns had to fess up to being a rampaging Ecky addict, the racing industry is in shutdown with horse flu forcing gambling addicts back home to their families and it’s the end of my first season as the under 10s netball coach. Crikey, I’m surprised it hasn’t been declared a State of Emergency. There’s a wonderful irony in the fact

confessions of an ecky eater that our most brilliant sporting heroes are drug-fucked party boys. King of Cricket, Shane Warne was renowned for his penchant for the love drug and free-balled his way around the globe taking out wickets and women at lightning speed. He’d barely left the pitch and his dick was out. He was Lord Spin. So why did the media get all moralistic about his off the field behaviour? It’s not like Warney was receiving blow jobs between overs. As long as he was on his game who cares about Simone? Frankly, if I was married to Simone Warne I think I’d root around as well. I hate sport. I particularly hate cricket. Yobbos like Shane Warne make it mildly entertaining. If a fella can bonk himself silly and still take wickets then great. The latest victim of media moralising is poor old Johnsy. I think the fact that anyone who can smoke, drink,

snort coke, drop ecky and the occasional tab of acid and still manage to play football is remarkable. Actually it’s more than remarkable, it’s frigging Australian. Jesus, it’s not like it’s performance enhancing. Sure Ecky might make you a bit of a love machine in the bedroom (well at least in your own mind) but when it comes to violent physical sport like footy poor Joey Johns has been at a significant disadvantage. Anyone who’s ever popped a party pill knows the chemical fry that sets in days later. Ecky Tuesday is not a pretty sight when you are being pursued by twelve 100 kilo men. Neither is professing your love in the changeroom and asking for a cuddle. The Telegraph even carried a story of a Newcastle mother of three who thought that Johns should be punished more severely for the possession of

one measly ecstasy tablet. (Fuck, isn’t being born in Newcastle punishment enough?) She claimed that he had failed the kiddies as a role model. Bullshit, teenagers all around the country might suddenly start attending football if they think it’s going to turn into a rave party at half time. Role models are people too. They are not two dimensional Sunday liftouts. They’re blokes sitting at home in their undies pulling a bong in front of MTV, weeping into a blank form guide wondering why success is suddenly so meaningless... but they never print posters of that. As for the horse flu. I think it’s all a sinister coverup. It’s not just footballers, horses are using drugs too, people. Makybe Diva was seen with Johnsy at the London nightclub. In fact, it’s been alleged that the mare was the one who planted the tab in his trouser pocket.

I don’t do topical stuff because it goes stale. I think you can do a lot of the work on paper, I don’t take it out until it’s been drafted and drafted. Also, I tape my gigs, so if I tried something new, or I need something more in the middle then I know how to make the changes.’

expert on the little petty things in my life. Hearing the audience laugh is such an addiction. It’s really the only gauge you can ever use for being funny.’

Back in 2003 Dave Jory was a copywriter for a Sydney ad agency. He was like any other advertising schmuck, unremarkable except for a dream. Like a fridge at midnight, a tiny light that burned inside Dave, that only came on when the door to comedy was open. He asked himself, why live these precarious moments of fulfilment? So he quit his job. His partner freaked. Standup comedy? You’ve got to be kidding. And he was. And it turns out he kids very well. After 3 months on the couch on the edge of what felt like a rather grim decision, Dave Jory found his feet. From ad man to comedian, the ultimate metaphysical bungey jump. His curious mix of talent, courage and passion has seen this capable jingle writer kick comedy in the ass. Dave did what we all want to do. Follow the dream. Dave laments that for a moment he was suspicious that there was going to be no dream to follow, just a very long and unforgiving unemployment queue.

have to be out every night.’ Dave was under pressure. It’s pretty embarrassing to toss in the towel on one life path only to find yourself standing in a public place without your underpants. (Well, you know what I mean. It’s a metaphor.) Jory’s time in advertising served him well. ‘I am a good writer. Initially I was always a better writer than performer.

I realised that if I focused on improving my performance than I would make some ground. I used to be really dirty. I used to be so nervous that I’d do pretty blue material. Then I figured if I could write a good dirty joke I could write a good clean one. I started to tailor it to something that felt a lot better for me. There’s a lot of misogyny in comedy. I think it’s important to side step that. There are enough boys’ jokes out there. There are places I just won’t go in my writing. Like making jokes about fat people or people in wheelchairs or gay jokes. I would rather do something that is clever. I have gay friends and I don’t want them coming to a gig ‘When I quit my job I was well ahead of myself. I didn’t that they would find insulting.’ get a paid job for three months. It was a tough time. Jory isn’t into performing But it started to happen.

So what is Mr Jory’s world view? ‘Peppy indignation. It’s about the small stuff. I think it’s good when someone gets up and sweats the small stuff for you. It’s more funny than trivialising big things. If you are not Richard Pryor or Bill Hicks then you should leave the big things alone. I am an

RIE WILL GUTH R BUDDHA BA Y WEDNESDA

AITKEN HEART It’s been a disastrous year for Wilde Aitken. Uncle Dave ‘Wilde’ Durrant disappeared, last seen on the side of the highway looking for a hubcap for his car. Adopted love child, David ‘Wilde’ Velja was taken by aliens. Nephew Josh ‘Wilde’ Aitken was forcibly removed from his home by a group of terrorists masquerading as a wedding party and has not been seen again. All had tested positive for bird u and are unfortunately still in the community somewhere. Regardless of these personal family tragedies, the band is still hoping to resurrect itself for the trip back in time to the ďŹ fties, sixties and seventies on Saturday at the Bangalow Bowling Club. Featuring Uncle Wilbur Wilde (saxaphone /vocals), Uncle Freddy Skyhooks Strauks, (drums) Nephew Shem Wilde Aitken (bass), Aunty Andy Aitken, niece Holly Aitken, nephew Josh Aitken, Uncle Dave Aitken and the oldest living family dog in the world, 50 year old family pet Dog Sparkes on guitar and vocals.

WILL HAS GRACE This week at the Blue Birdy at the Buddha Bar is a real treat with Australian drummer/ percussionist Will Guthrie taking centre stage. Will uses home-made instruments, ampliďŹ ed sound and junk, microphones and speakers alongside more conventional drums and cymbals. Originally a jazz drummer he has worked in many different settings of music: live performance, improvisation, studio composition. He is joined by Dave Ades, Elliott

Dalgliesh and Thierry Fosmale on electric bass. Will has a long and illustrious history in Australia and has played with just about everybody in the modern jazz and improvised music scene. He is also gaining an audience and a great reputation in Europe where he now lives as a solo percussion artist.

CHINA BLUES NEWS China Blue have quickly become renowned for their powerful and captivating brand of urban blues. Still with a little West Australian sand in their shoes, the band presents a mix of originals and covers characterised by intense and passionate vocal and lyrical lines set on a bed of roots rhythms. They perform at the Rails on Thursday.

DOING IT HARD Local funkisoul combo The Hard Word hit the boards at the Beach this Friday with some deep old skool grooves for your dancing pleasure. Singer Mohini Cox is back from overseas and raring to hit the big notes beachside. Some tracks from their new album The Devil’s Road might get a run if they’re in the mood... be there and be aware.

RADIOTHON WRAP PARTY Bay FM’s Radiothon wrap party ‘Outta the Cage’ promises to be a celebration of epic proportions at the Buddha Bar on Friday. There are four different areas with four different feels. From lounge-avoured housey funk tunes, with Aqua, Dan

MUSIC FOR CHILDREN AND INNER CHILDREN Michael Turner is a singer songwriter who many know from the Durga Babies. Recently he’s been working on a children’s album, that reects the sophistication of our youngsters’ musical tastes. Mike rang me to let me know he’d sent a CD home with my 6 year old son Charlie who goes to the Community School where Michael runs workshops and classes with the kids. It was meant for me to review, but Charlie won’t release it from his grip. He loves it. It’s his

ďŹ rst CD, I don’t have the heart to tell him it was for me. He took it straight home and went into his bedroom and closed the door. He has played it fairly well continuously. It’s a 2 CD set, with a Day CD that is funky and dancey featuring some Mum warmers like Yummy Scrummy Mummy and the Dreams CD is the chill down. Charlie was asleep by 7pm. I was very impressed. It’s a beautifully produced CD, the songs are lyrically and musically simple, but elegantly crafted. They appeal to young children who don’t want to be hammered by the Wiggles. This is deďŹ nitely a superior release! Michael Turner and the Peaceful Stars: Days and Dreams. Check out the CD preview at the Byron Vista at the Byron Community Centre on Saturday 15 September.

Television Guide 1. Nicole Kidman and Sean Penn bravely soldier through Sydney Pollack’s thriller The Interpreter (Ten, Wednesday, 8.30pm), but it’s a dud. 2. Isabelle Huppert plays the title role in The Piano Teacher (SBS, Friday night, 12.45am). This is a ridiculous time to show a thought-provoking movie about sexuality and self denial, and another reason to believe that SBS management has fallen into the hands of philistines. But Isabelle does play her own piano. 3. Rachel Weisz redeems the thin and unbelievable story of The Runaway Jury (NBN, Sunday, 8.30pm), along with the acting of co-star Gene Hackman.

DANCE FESTIVAL RAZZLE DAZZLE AT BYRON HIGH The North Coast Dance Festival is gearing up for its 10th year of competition. Hundreds of local dance students congregate at Byron Bay High School this Saturday and Sunday in a Razzle Dazzle expose of stunning costumes, great music and loads of up and coming talent. The North Coast Dance Festival started a decade ago by local dance teachers to provide local dance students with an opportunity to develop and display theatrical performance and technical skills on stage in an environment of friendly competition with their peers. Saturday is mainly solo, duo and trio dances and Sunday is

the very entertaining group/ troupe day. This dance event is a must for all dance lovers and enthusiasts.

FILM BLOOD AT FEDERAL HALL The Coen Brothers do it again. A rich and jealous husband hires a private investigator to terminate his cheating wife and her lover. Sounds like a straightforward plan, but when blood is involved, nothing is simple. Pays homage to the great noir thrillers of the golden age and stars the hugely talented Frances McDormand. Saturday at Federal Hall with doors open from 6.30pm and the movie from 8pm.

STAND UP COMEDY FLAMING AKMAL A few weeks ago local comedian Brendan Lovechild

had what The Echo described as ‘a substantial bushďŹ re’ at his Mullumbimby property. Volunteer ďŹ reďŹ ghters sprang into action and thanks to them, no lives or property were lost. Unfortunately, while attending the ďŹ re, the Wilsons Creek ďŹ re depot had its windows smashed and a volunteer’s car was broken into by vandals. Feeling a tad responsible, Brendan wants to give something back to the ďŹ reďŹ ghters in the form of a charity comedy show, with proďŹ ts going to the Rural Fire Service. October 6th will feature comedians Akmal Saleh, Dave Grant and Greg Sullivan in a ‘comedy supershow’ hosted by Brendan. Mullumbimby ExServices Club at 8pm. Tix $30 at the door.

WITH LILITH SEPTEMBER ALWAYS BRINGS AUSPICIOUS ENERGY FOR A SEASONAL SPRING CLEAN AND CLUTTER CLEARING, FOR REPLACING THE EXCESSIVE WITH THE EXQUISITE – HELPED ALONG THIS WEEK BY THE PLANET OF DISCIPLINE MOVING INTO THE SIGN OF IT’S GOT TO GO‌

ARIES: Aries don’t like changing their minds once they’re made up, but there are times – and this week’s one of them – when you have everything to gain from an attitude adjustment and absolutely nothing to lose. The results will speak for themselves.

GEMINI: Even with Mars and the Moon in Gemini you mightn’t ďŹ nd this week’s negotiations easy – people will insist on value for dollars and drive surprisingly hard bargains. They’ll be pretty speedy on the roads too, so drive carefully and resist trafďŹ c angst. CANCER: This week’s atmosphere might not be overly tolerant or understanding, but no need to defend yourself – stay buoyant by using criticism if it’s helpful, forgetting it if it’s not. Don’t waste energy in head on clashes – you’re the master of lateral strategy, remember? LEO: Consider the path of least resistance rather than doing the hard yards – uphill battles, complex involvements and complicated situations are tremendously draining, so keep it simple. There’ll still be plenty of interesting challenges with this week’s tough customers.

VIRGO: Elizabeth I the Virgin Queen and French Sun King Louis IV are this week’s Virgo birthday royals – both over the top trend setters and eccentric as all get out. This is your time to shine, so forget sensible and practical – be as outrageous as you dare. LIBRA: If you’re not feeling ash, keep out of the ďŹ ring line this week. If its strains and stresses get you in a dither, stop. Calm down. Tune into the rhythm of things. It’s easier to work with the energy that’s happening than trying to escape it. SCORPIO: While this week wrestles ďŹ nancial and domestic affairs into shape, it also asks you to get a handle on a healthier lifestyle. Get those stress busters working and start a course of self nurturing – be good to yourself, and accept others the way they are‌ SAGITTARIUS: If a faultďŹ nding edge creeps into this week, remember everyone’s trying to ďŹ nd a way of living with the difference between how things could be and how they are – same as you.

Differences will be more easily dissolved by communication than confrontation. CAPRICORN: Your ruling planet Saturn’s moved into Virgo for three years, so where does that leave Capricorns? Embarking on one of your more successful life periods, that’s where, as promising planetary circumstances present you with opportunities to do something you’ll be really proud of. AQUARIUS: This week requires ďŹ nding a difďŹ cult person or situation’s positive qualities, even if you have to use a magnifying glass – the sort of thing your inventive Aquarian mind was designed for. And being clear with others will save misunderstandings, complications, angst and expense. PISCES: This excellent organizational planning week beneďŹ ts from some serious thought about direction: where you’re going, what you’re doing and who with. If you have to speak up, it won’t hurt to rehearse in the mirror ďŹ rst. Pick your moment for delivery though.

THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM

current predicament with a bad thing that happened years ago. It’s all to do with the CIA, everybody’s favourite hated organisation, which means that it’s OK for our hero to wreak as much havoc as he pleases. And does he go for it? Does he what! Bourne is omnipotent, indestructible and cool as a cucumber, but, unlike Bruce Willis’s neighbourly Detective McClane, entirely humourless. The absence of that character trait makes it tough going in blockbusters like

I didn’t have the foggiest idea of what was going on for nearly the ďŹ rst hour of this, other than knowing that there were some pretty heavy dudes out to get rogue agent Jason Bourne (Matt Damon). But it’s the singer not the song in this border-hopping, smash-up, gloriďŹ ed game of chasings. Splintery ashbacks to his training and to the previous episode of the franchise tell you that Bourne is struggling to reconcile his

these, for they cry out to be not taken too seriously. As far as the visuals go, you can’t deny the thrilling aerial shots of London, Paris, Madrid, Tangier and NYC, nor can you carp at the technical prowess with which everything has been assembled – the stunts are topdrawer (though you’d like Bourne to be able to jump through an open window occasionally), the technology-as-player aspect chillingly persuasive (I’m even more committed to not owning a mobile) and the music ceaselessly verging on the cardiac arrest. When the story is revealed, there is not much to it, just the usual thing about a couple of rotten apples in the system who have taken things too far in their lust for power. The token girl (Julia Stiles) is lovely and nothing else. What is most distasteful is the almost pornographic portrayal of violence – the ďŹ stďŹ ght in Tangier, concluded over a squat toilet, is sickening. Also, without wishing to sound like a wowser, isn’t it time ďŹ lmmakers, before shooting scenes in which the leading man emerges unscathed from an impossibly twisted car wreck after throttling through crowded city streets, were taken in person to the site of crashes in which impressionable youths are reduced to bloody pulp after trying to live the macho fantasy? John Campbell

LA VIE EN ROSE Here is a ďŹ lm to attract cinephiles of a higher sensibility who loathe what they routinely refer to as ‘American crap.’ In their gated community of high culture, any old Euro schlock is superior to Hollywood simply because of its provenance. The trouble is that La Vie En Rose, to all intents and purposes, is an American ďŹ lm with subtitles. It is a cob of corn and, if not battered and deep fried in 1 9ĂŠ ,‡ " / "

butter for the discerning taste (like As It Is In Heaven), it follows to a tee the format of the likes of Ray and Walk The Line, which for mine were both terriďŹ c biopics. Edith Piaf is adored in France, but the story of her tragic life is broken up by director Olivier Dahan into an unconnected series of time jumps that tend to reduce it to the episodic. It’s all over the place like a mad woman’s breakfast – which might be the point, given the almost obsessive take on Piaf as drug addicted, drunk and volatile. It’s a disconcerting approach, fracturing the narrative and making it difďŹ cult to keep tabs on the many signiďŹ cant other characters who contribute to events. But it gets by, for, in a genre totally reliant for success on the portrayal of its subject, Marion Cotillard (like Jamie Foxx and Joaquin Phoenix as Ray and Johnny) inhabits the legend, showing the heroine to be not always the most pleasant company and managing remarkably to transform herself from rambunctious performer to arthritic crone. The music is splendid (if you like Piaf, of course) and untampered with, while the period recreation is evocative, particularly the early Paris sequences.

know what to do with. If you were worried that Bruce Willis at 52 might pass the baton to someone younger in this fourth of the series, think again. If anything, Willis is ďŹ tter, leaner and his sardonic humour is better honed. The story is simple and well told – the threat of virtual terrorism is the ďŹ lm’s focus and we are aware of everything that goes into the plot, so we remain fully engaged and involved. The ďŹ ght scenes are superbly choreographed, and shot, for maximum reality, and the many, generous stunt sequences are breathtaking. Lounge Cinema

the dying moments a traumatic loss in the singer’s past is a bit of a cheat and quite purposeless. It’s a far from happy outing, but with the spine-tingling Je Ne Regrette Rien saved till last (the mother of all clichÊs), the Little Sparrow brings it home like a beauty. John Campbell

RECIPE OF THE WEEK from Graeme Stockdale, Head Chef at Utopia in Bangalow. tuesday to saturday bar open from 4pm extensive wine list degustation fr $55 p.h

I think I shall do a salmon recipe. How to cook a piece of salmon is easily the question most asked of me at Utops. I guess practice would be the answer if you had the time (and a lot of salmon going through your kitchen). But since you don’t, we’ll try to take it from page to plate with minimal wrongnesses.

INDIAN CURRY HOUSE

The Eltham Valley Pantry, midway between Lismore and Byron Bay, is a delight of a discovery. It is a farm growing coffee as well as pecans (and the excellent coffee accompanying our breakfast is their own), which ings open its doors to the public from Wednesday through to Sunday, either for guided tours and viewing of the pecan and coffee growing processes or simply to serve up breakfast, lunch or morning teas in the bucolic tranquillity of its glorious surrounds. Husband and wife team James Payne and Julie Rhodes left computing jobs in Sydney about ďŹ fteen years ago to take over the running of James’s family farm; several years later James planted the ďŹ rst pecan trees, and today they are producing respectable yields of these gorgeous nuts. No pesticides are used to feed the trees, just regular doses of compost products such as worm juice and worm castings. James is a mine of fascinating information on the subject; eloquent and articulate and funny, he makes it all sound colourful and fun as he leads us down to the neat rows of trees then in to the little factory, where to the roar of machinery we witness the unshelled nuts sorted for size, cracked open then sorted again to separate the pieces from the perfect halves. Everything is done at the farm: the growing, the harvesting, the processing – which includes the essential drying-out – and the ďŹ nal packaging. Pecan nuts, inexplicably, are one of the lesser known nut varieties in Australia, with their use mainly conďŹ ned to baking and cooking. Strictly speaking they are not even nuts, but seeds (kernels) – like walnuts, to which they are related (and in fact many recipes call for the interchange of one with the other). They are more buttery than walnuts - and in this regard more similar to cashews. Native to North America, they have been cultivated there for commercial purposes since the middle of the nineteenth century, living to be very old and capable of growing to great heights. The climate in the northern areas of NSW is highly conducive to their ourishing, which is why pecan production in the river valleys up here and around Moree (where Stahmann’s, the country’s greatest producer, is based) is becoming an established industry. Trees start bearing after four or ďŹ ve years and harvest time is April through to July. I could of course simply snack on my cute take-home pack of Eltham Valley Premium Natural Pecans; full as they are of vitamins A and E, zinc and the plant sterols famous for lowering blood cholesterol levels, I could with impunity devour a cup of them a day. Except that, because I prefer cooking to snacking, I suspect I will drag out my ancient Women’s Weekly Dinner Party Cookbook No. 2 and whip up that American classic, the ultra sweet Pecan Pie, whose recipe, updated somewhat, is as follows:

There are about twelve of us one moist Saturday morning at a late breakfast in Eltham, a Slow Food initiative to learn about the production of pecan nuts. My warm puffy cinnamon wafes are strewn with the things, lightly toasted, crunchy and buttery in a sticky honey syrup; having just returned from a tour of the orchard and factory, I am appreciating them more than I otherwise might have.

Sports Roundup with John Campbell

Rams shot down by Stars

Bouquets for Bruns soccer

Fred Bushell The Byron Bay Rams, FNFC champions for the past two seasons, made a horror start to their finals campaign when they were beaten 4-1 by the Italo Stars at Lismore on Saturday. The quaintly named Barrow Lane home ground of the Stars was a balmy setting as the players took the field under a cloudless sky, and it was Byron who had the first shot on goal after a cross from Jonathan Pierce on the right. The Rams’ defence was composed and their attack well structured, but the Green Men looked more dangerous on the break. It was tit for tat in the first half hour, as play hurried from one end to the other, with neither side establishing ascendancy in the midfield. Eventually the opportunities came, but the Rams were haywire in their shooting, with Jonathon Pierce (worthy co-winner of the 2007 Golden Boot award) Todd Knaus both missing chances to open the scoring by kicking over the bar. The stalemate was broken by a header from the Stars and suddenly being down 1-0 put a bit of spice into the Rams’ effort, unfortunately culminating in a yellow card for Bruce Morhaus. The second half was only five minutes old when a disastrous mess-up in goal saw the Stars go to 2-0 and the Rams’ keeper

Steve Edmonds The season is sadly over for Brunswick Valley, with both the thirds and sixths losing their semifinals by narrow margins. The thirds were desperately unlucky to be on the wrong end of a 2-1 scoreline against Richmond Rovers, having had two goals disallowed. Their opponents’ early strike seemed to have been cancelled out when first Ben Wills and then Bumpy hit the back of the net in a torrid first half, only to see the linesman’s flag go up on both occasions. It was always going to be an uphill battle when the Rovers scored again after the break. A late screamer from Lucas Mott gave the Mullum boys some hope, but Rovers dug deep and hung on for the win. Dougall Forrest and Leon Maclean were magnificent in the midfield engine-room and looked threatening all game. The sixths played two semifinal games this week, seeking that elusive booth at Oakes Oval. On Monday night the boys travelled to Goonellabah for a hard fought battle against a strong in-form team. The hosts scored first with an unstoppable free kick that cannoned in off the post 15 seconds from the half time whistle. Grub equalised following the break and the Valley

went on to hush the partisan crowd with some excellent football and came extremely close to producing a winner. With the scores locked at 1-1, the game went into extra time and Valley lost 2-1. On Saturday, in front of a sellout crowd, the Mullum boys faced Lismore Workers in a must win tie. The Valley went one up against the run of play and were looking good, but somehow their brave ‘keeper Glenn Lawlor was lobbed and it was 1-1 at the break. The lads did not drop their heads though, and every player gave his last drop of sweat. But it was not to be. Valley had their chances, but it was Lismore Workers who converted theirs, running out winners 3-1. Valley’s season was summed up very nicely by Ray Musgrave when, chasing an impossible ball, he did a flying backward flip in the dying seconds only to land on his scone. The entire team shared his headache. With the football over, all heads start to turn to the highlight of the Mullumbimby social calendar, namely Presentation Night at the Middle Pub. The date will be confirmed shortly - ring Chris Fenwick on 6680-2223 for details. All are welcome.

replaced not long after. Byron Bay were off the pace now, as the Stars, smelling the victory, took it up a gear and began to play with more enthusiasm and tested the Ram’s scrambling defence. Twenty minutes into the second stanza the Rams’ substitute goalkeeper gave away a penalty when he brought down an attacker and, being the last man defending the net, was lucky not to get a red card

for his indiscretion. The penalty was converted, just, going in off the post, and at 3-0 all of the talk was coming from the Stars, while Byron was doing a Marcel Marceau routine and unable to produce any cohesive attack. Pierce, one of the better players in the white shirts, found space again and crossed to Morhaus who was unlucky not to pull one back and then the pair were involved again when

Morhaus returned the favour, passing to Pierce who slotted a left footer into the net to give the Bay a faint sniff. The Rams were revitalised but the Stars not about to ease up. Time ran down without the Bay threatening any further, instead having to swallow the bitter pill of a fourth goal to the Stars who ran out deserving if not quite so comprehensive winners. If the premiers are to successfully defend their title they will have to do it the hard way, with three straight wins required from them, starting next week when they take on Goonellabah at the Rec Grounds. On the Friday night, the Premier Reserves played host to Lennox Head in the major semi final. It was an enthralling encounter from the outset, with both teams playing end to end football. At half time it was 0-0, and the Rams took the lead only to see Lennox equalise and snatch the win with a goal in extra time. This week the Rams will play in the minor semi at home. Presentation night is on Friday, October 5, at our major sponsors, the Hotel Great Northern. Tickets are $15 (including for meal) are available from Vlad Knaus on the next two Mondays and Thursdays at Training.

Sports Roundup with John Campbell

Bangalow triumphant

Nippers sign-on

Tony Heeson Bangalow won their third successive Village Rugby Competition with a comprehensive 27-0 win over a gallant Evans River at Kyogle on the weekend. The main game was preceded by the play-offs for the Plate ( 5 v 6), in which Richmond Range defeated Iluka, and the Bowl ( 3 v 4 ), with Kyogle narrowly accounting for Woolgoolga 12 - 10. Before the major ďŹ xture got underway came the presentation of the jerseys by Richie Allen, the Bangalow player severely injured earlier in the season. He had been own down from the Spinal Unit in Brisbane where he is receiving treatment specially for the occasion. Fellow players, supporters and the wider community had kicked in $4,400 to bring Richie, his wife and daughter down for the game. It was a tremendous effort from all involved, and the boys on the park made sure that the day would end on an appropriately high note. In front of a large crowd, Bangalow never looked like losing, being in control of most facets of play. Kerry Jennings opened the scoring with a penalty after five minutes, the ďŹ rst of his ďŹ ve successful shots at goal, made up of two penalties

Surf life saving has celebrated its centenary year in 2007. In that time more than 500,000 swimmers have received assistance from the volunteers whom we take for granted on our beaches. Uunderpinning the life saving movement are the Nippers, the kids who join up at their local surf club at the beginning of every summer. Nippers is about having fun, being physically ďŹ t, and learning teamwork and surf skills. The education program gives youngsters the confidence and abilities that will last them their lifetime. In a community where beach culture is so popular, knowing how to read the ocean and get out of danger is vital. Brunswick Nippers is preparing for the summer with its sign-on day this Sunday, September 9, between 10.am and 12 noon at Mullum Pool. Those nippers who need to complete their proďŹ ciency swims can do so at the sign-ons. Any enquiries to Michele on 6680 3082. Sign-on day for Nippers at the Lennox Head-Alstonville Surf Lifesaving Club will be from 10 am to 1 pm on September 16, 23 and 30. Come along to be part of something great or to simply ďŹ nd out more information. The Nippers’ season begins at 9 am, October 7.

and three conversions. A strong Neil Moran pushover try and, with Bangalow showing their strength and ďŹ tness, they went to the break with a 10-0 lead. A penalty and then the smallest of gaps in the Evans defence was enough for Chris Bleakley to get through, step inside and score a great try and, at 17-0, it was always going to be extremely tough for Evans to come back. It was made even harder by the fact that Bangalow were winning the line-outs, the turnovers and scrums. Another penalty and strong forward try by Neil Moran, converted by Jennings, made it 27-0 and game over. It would be unfair to pick out individual players as it has been a team effort all year, with a great forward pack, good defensive backs, and Coach Simon Balcon justly rewarded for all the hours he has put in. Captain Jock Craigie led by example and was deservedly presented with the Premiership trophy. A big thank you also to the support staff, doctors, trainers and also everybody who came to our games throughout the year, all the supporters, who were at every game. Presentation night will be held on September 22 at the Bangalow Hotel.

Mullum students bound for glory

In case you thought that it was all about Kurt Mulcahy at Mullum, think again. Following in the footsteps of their outstanding international runner, and under the astute tutelage of trainers Robyn Wright and Polly Fung, eighteen students from the school have earned places in the upcoming NSW Junior State Championships to be held at the Olympic Centre, Homebush. It is a fantastic result for a regional school and all involved are to be heartily congratulated. Photograph by Lou Beaumont.

Giants let home grand ďŹ nal slip

It was a case of so near and yet so far for the Giants on Sunday. Photo by John Campbell

John Campbell The Mullumbimby Giants suffered the curse of the lay-off in their major semifinal against Ballina on Sunday, thus forfeiting a chance to host the 2007 NRRRL grand ďŹ nal. The Giants were sluggish at the start, allowing a try under the posts to the visitors after just ďŹ ve minutes from a nicely worked move which should nevertheless have been contained. Mullum gradually got out of ďŹ rst gear and got an equaliser through winger Chad Grant, but Ballina went ahead again through their elusive centre Brenton Cochrane. This fellow is a joy to watch, even if he is on the wrong team, and his forty metre effort, taking the ball on the burst and making something from nothing in a thrilling run, set the Giants back on their heels. The visitors should have taken their 12-6 lead to the sheds, but a dropped ball near the Giants’ line, ironically from Cochrane, saw Travis Drought swoop on it and, realising he did not have the legs to go the distance, shoot it out to Jy Hitchcox who sprinted eighty metres for an equaliser that saw the crowd in the wester n bleachers go berko. Fifteen minutes into the second half and the speedy anker had got two more, the second from a furious pursuit of a tantalising chip by five-eighth Drought which the Ballina fullback was unable to get to ďŹ rst. What is most loveable in the Giants’ make-up, what brings the casual observer back time and again, is their willingness to push the envelope, to go for the impossible. When their adventure pays off there is no better team in the comp

to watch, when it runs aground they are prey to well organised and totally determined opposition, as the Seagulls were on the weekend. At 24-14, Mullum were on ďŹ re and Ballina looking ready to disintegrate. But the ame can as easily abate as are for a team like the Giants and though they didn’t rest on their laurels they forgot that for air to succeed you must also cross the Ts and dot the Is in structure and commitment. Occasional shoddiness against a quality if methodical outďŹ t such as Ballina can land you in deep trouble, which is exactly what happened to the Blue and Golds. Primarily through their combative half back, Willie Hammond, and sensational number four, the Seagulls were able to capitalise on Mullum tardiness and get the score back to 24-24 with twelve to go. Hammond kicked a coolheaded ďŹ eld goal to put the visitors ahead 25-24 and the Giants were stung into their last grand rally of the contest. They got terribly close and, with six minutes on the clock, opted to go for goal when awarded a penalty ten metres in and twenty out from the goal line. It was a death or glory decision and there is no point in being critical in retrospect. Drought’s kick was close but wide and the one point lead it might have secured was soon a match-losing seven point deďŹ cit after Ballina went over in the corner following yet another Mullum handling error. To get another crack at Ballina in the grand ďŹ nal, the Giants will next weekend need to deal with the formidable Lismore Marist Brothers, the team they

defeated in the 2004 premiership decider. The game will be at Les Donnelly. Come and get behind the boys.

81 STUART ST MULLUMBIMBY

Due to the further spread of Equine Inuenza the Northern Horse Action Group Performance Show and Fun Gymkhana set down for September 8 is now postponed until Anzac Day 2008. The NHAG committee met Friday to reassess the situation, and, although there have been no local cases, the transport lockdown is still in place to minimise risk to all riders statewide. ‘Our group, like all riders, hopes that this epidemic will burn itself out soon so that our recreational pursuits and horse events can return to normal.’ Q Q Q Q Threeways restaurant at Wilsons Creek recently had its outdoor couches stolen. To prevent injury to patrons’ delicate bottoms, could the couches please be returned or someone offer up secondhand replacements? Q Q Q Q Byron Shire writers are again reminded to get their entries in for the Nicholas Shand Beach Hotel Short Story Competition, which closes on Friday September 14. Pick up your ofďŹ cial entry form from The Echo ofďŹ ces in Byron Bay and Mullumbimby or at the Beach Hotel. There’s a tidy $2,500 in prizes on offer. Q Q Q Q This week the Backlash Award for Brevity in Local Government Speechmaking goes to Byron Shire Councillor Richard Staples for his comment on a foreshadowed motion by Cr Ray Kestle: ‘I support it.’ Q Q Q Q The achingly beautiful actors of Mullum High Drama will this week present a play by noted Czech writers and brothers Carol and Josef Capek – see page 15 for details. Trivia night contestants should be aware that it

The latest comment on the amount of time it is taking to repair the Lighthouse Road walkway.

is the brothers Capek who in 1921 invented the word ‘robot’, from the Czech ‘robota’ for ‘drudgery’. Q Q Q Q Nimbin HEMP Embassy, with the Museum, the Oasis CafĂŠ and other businesses, is sponsoring a ‘Chalk 4 Peace Day’ on Saturday September 15. Starting from 8am chalk will be available on the day and artists will have until midday to complete their drawing or message for this global public art project for peace. See more at www. inďŹ nitepossibility.org. Q Q Q Q Snippets from ABC radio news submitted with comment by a reader: ‘National GDP is now just over $1 trillion. Since the GST was introduced, Federal funding to the States has fallen from 7% of GDP to 5% (not counting foregone State tax revenue). On today’s figures, that’s $50 billion instead of $70 billion. $20 billion is a lot of schools, hospitals, trains, roads, bridges, police, dental services and public housing the

States cannot afford. Meanwhile Treasurer Costello crows over his $17 billion surplus and Our Inimitable Leader generously promises

citizens in marginal seats assorted State services from this Federal largesse, so far nowhere near $20 billion worth. This is responsible economic management. Go ďŹ gure.’ Q Q Q Q Peggy Balfour notes from The Australian that Tasmanian premier Paul Lennon ‘attacked the campaign against the Gunns pulp mill being waged by prime ministerial conďŹ dant and businessman Geoffrey Cousins, along with a group of prominent actors, sportsmen and businessmen. Dismissing them as a gang of millionaires, Mr Lennon also made a veiled warning to Mr Turnbull that the state would watch closely to ensure he did not exceed his powers.’ Peggy also sent us the annual report for Gunns which would suggest that the company’s directors are also – ahem – millionaires.
