In the pink for breast cancer awareness

Page unhappy with government stonewalling on St Helena speed camera Information provided by the NSW Treasury obtained by Ballina MP Don Page under the Freedom of Information Act shows the number of motorists booked on a daily basis at the Ewingsdale speed camera rose from 13 per day in October 2006 to a maximum of 129 per day in April 2007. ‘The ﬁgures provided by Treasury clearly show the camera booking eight times more people than normal during the relevant period (ie March 28 to July 24), which prima facie indicates the camera was faulty during that time,’ Mr Page said. ‘The October 2006 and late July 2007 daily figures supplied by Treasury show an infringement rate of 13 per day compared to an average of 97 per day for the March 28 to July 24 period.’ ‘On these ﬁgures I do not believe the RTA’s assurances that the camera was accurate during this period. Add to this the number of drivers who have witnesses in their cars

Byron Shire Council staff – and Mayor Jan Barham – frocked up in pink last Friday to draw attention to Breast Cancer Awareness Week. Unfortunately we nearly all know someone who has been diagnosed with breast cancer, in fact many locals will know the always smiling Julie Barr (holding the balloons) who has for ten years worked behind council’s front counter. Julie’s cat was doing that little cat massage thing cats do when it hit on a tender lump in Julie’s breast. Julie joked it was her cat scan. Friday was Julie’s last day before extended leave for her to deal with the rigorous treatment regime. People and businesses wishing to sponsor a ‘ pink lady’ for $20 toward cancer research can do so from the front counter at Council. And last Monday Railway Park went pink for Breast Cancer

Month as the Byron Bay Breast Cancer Support Group and Breast Cancer Network Australia hosted a Celebration of Life with a Miniﬁeld of Women. The Byron Bay Art Diary Project and Bangalow CWA supported the event by creating an art piece out of hundreds of preloved bras in all shapes and sizes to represent how breast cancer affects all kinds of people. Some of the proceeds from the sale of the Byron Bay Art Diaries will go towards supporting the Byron Bay Breast Cancer Support Group. The BBBCSG is also supported by Mayor Jan Barham and Byron Shire Council, The Cancer Council, the Breast Cancer Network Australia and the Petrea King Quest For Life Centre in Bundanoon. Each year 13,000 women and 100 men in Australia are diagnosed with breast cancer. While

survival rates are high especially when detected, diagnosed and treated early, 2,500 women still die from the disease each year in Australia. When the Byron Bay Breast Cancer Support Group ﬁrst held the Miniﬁeld of Women in Byron Bay in 2004, the rate for developing breast cancer in a woman’s lifetime was one in ten. Now it is one in eight. The Byron Bay Breast Cancer Support Group is run by volunteers who have had breast cancer. It meets on the third Wednesday of each month 12.30pm till 2.30pm at the Senior Citizens Hall, Marvel Street, Byron Bay. The group is offering a free seven week meditation course for those diagnosed, sponsored by the NSW Cancer Council, from Wednesday October 24. New people are very welcome.

who swear the driver wasn’t speeding and we have a good prima facie case for an inaccurate camera during this late March to July period.’ ‘There is also the fact that these speed cameras are extremely well signposted to alert motorists to their existence. I will be raising this new information in Parliament at the first opportunity because the implications for people falsely booked is not just the fines to be paid, but the points they lose, the loss of licence by some drivers and the loss of jobs (because they need their licence) by some people as well. ‘In light of this information showing an abnormally high infringement rate during the time when the camera is believed to have been inaccurate, I call on the NSW government to impose a moratorium on the imposition of speeding fines incurred during that period for three months while the whole matter is reconsidered.’

Caning the toad is their mission Last Friday, year 3 and 4 students at Byron Bay Primary School learned about the differences between cane toads and native frogs commonly mistaken for them, when they took part in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Trap That Toadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; activities conducted by the National Parks and Wildlife Service Discovery Rangers. During the frog and toad calling activity, the students performed the Common Eastern Froglet so well that an actual frog started calling from a nearby tree. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Trap That Toadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is a teacher resource developed by the Department of Environment and Climate Change (DECC) in partnership with the Northern Rivers Catchment Management Authority, the Foundation for National Parks and Wildlife. Included in the resource is a CD with images by local wildlife photographer John Pumpars and calls of both native frogs and Cane Toads supplied by local sound

Public Officer of Goonengerry Landcare, Alan Goldstein, said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Members of our community and the Landcare group recognise the environmental significance of our local environment and have spent a lot of time, effort and resources in revegetation and restoration works.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Goonengerry Landcare Group has been successful over the last ten years in raising funding for ďŹ ve previous projects.

Both Goonengerry Landcare Group and North Byron Shire Parklands, site of the controversial Splendour DA, have received grants from the Australian Government Envirofund. Goonengerry Landcare Group has been awarded a grant for $49,465 for their Revegetation and Restoration Project 2007. The project will cover seven sites in the greater Goonengerry area. The sites are situated in a high biodiversity area adjacent to Goonengerry Forest and Goonengerry National Park and near to Minyon Falls and Whian Whian and have been approved by the The Ngulingah Local Aboriginal Land Council. Project works will expand and enhance existing native remnant, regrowth and planted vegetation and provide habitat, and hence there will also be beneďŹ ts to biodi-

27 at 9:30am at Goonengerry Primary School. The North Byron Shire Parklands has won over $38,000 to support planned environmental restoration work. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The grant ensures an extra 10,000 trees will be planted within the wildlife corridor at the property, helping to restore around nine hectares of land and building on the 1500 trees already planted at our ďŹ rst tree planting ceremony in June,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said Mat Morris, general manager of the NBSP. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The grant will also help fund the placement of nest boxes to allow additional fauna and habitat and research opportunities. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The NBSP Foundation is working in collaboration with local bush regenerator Dave Rawlins and Madhima Gulgun, a local indigenous regeneration team, to facili-

tate the restoration of the site and to improve the wildlife corridor. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;A comprehensive strategy to revitalise the site which is currently seriously eroded is being developed. Further public tree planting days are also planned to maximise the educational opportunities for various sectors of the community. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;For every dollar gained from the Envirofund Grant more than another dollar will be spent by the NBSP on restoration of the corridor which will contribute to the overall revegetation of what is currently cleared and degraded land. We will continue to fund maintenance to continue the ecological restoration of the property.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Another tree planting day will be on Saturday November 10 and will expand on the foundation plantings carried out in June in the corridor.

Rescue squad celebrates 30th year Story & photo Eve Jeffery Sunday in Brunswick Heads was definitely the place to break your leg while getting stuck in a tree, that was on fire, lit by an arsonist, or, get bogged in your car on the beach with the door stuck, as the incoming tide threatened to drown both you and your dog, as emergency and community services turned out in force to celebrate the 30th birthday of the Brunswick Valley Rescue Squad. The Brunswick Heads Progress Association threw a shindig for the squad in the park. Guests including both the NSW and the Rural Fire Brigades, the police, the Brunswick Surf Club, the CWA and BARCO, among others, were on hand to sizzle sausages, eat cake and give visitors the feel of sitting in the driver’s seat of an emergency response vehicle and have the opportunity to find out more about these services. The rescue squad gave demonstrations of giant cutters and the ‘Jaws of Life’, while Road Captain John Wraight spoke about the team and many services provided the squad. The Squad was formed in 1977 in response to a serious accident on the Pacific High-

way in Brunswick Heads, when the injured were trapped for several hours due to the lack of appropriate equipment. A public meeting was held in October that year to create the Brunswick Valley & District Volunteer Rescue Squad as a community owned and supported land rescue organisation. They are afﬁliated with the Volunteer Rescue Association of NSW (VRA). Thirty years on, Brunswick Rescue is also only one of two VRA units in NSW to have both land and marine

based rescue units, and the only volunteer service accredited by the State Rescue Board for all forms or rescue. The group has over 65 volunteers and to date, four rescue vehicles, which means they can be on the scene in any emergency within minutes to provide help in rural, industrial and domestic accidents and vertical rescue, and to assist the police when needed in body recovery, and crime scene search and lighting. Their mission is to provide the very best rescue service

available in desperate circumstances. They baulk at nothing and are available 24/7, rain or shine. The current basic running costs for the squad is $60,000 per year, which doesn’t include equipment upgrade, so most members not only volunteer time to help the community, but also in fundraising and they can always use a hand. They would love to include more members in the squad. For more information about joining or donating to the rescue squad phone Lola Mills on 6684 7383

Bird Buddies create strategies for shorebirds Over two and a half years a range of strategies for the management of shorebirds at the Belongil estuary has been developed by Belongil Bird Buddies, now known as Byron Bird Buddies, in consultation with the representatives of local agencies including Marine Parks Authority, Byron Shire Council, and National Parks and Wildlife Service. ‘The Belongil Estuary Seabird and Shorebird Management Plan is the result of close teamwork and cooperation between all of these parties and is extensive in its actions for the relevant stakeholders,’ said BBB in a press release. ‘All parties involved have recognised the need to have a consistent and feasible management strategy employed at the Belongil

estuary and consequently have worked hard to develop this comprehensive and essential document. ‘The document has been publicly available for the last three months and can be viewed on our website at www.byronbirdbuddies. com.au – “Bird Conservation” and click on the PDF symbol to download the BBB Shorebird Management Plan. ‘The issues facing seabird and shorebird management are wider than just those faced exclusively at the Belongil estuary, as these birds breed, feed and rest in a number of locations along the Byron coast. Earlier this year, the focus for Byron Bird Buddies shifted to the length of the Cape Byron Marine Park and to the

north of the shire and initiatives employed in the development of shorebird management at these locations are based on the success of strategies implemented over a number of years down at the Belongil estuary. ‘Recently, Byron Bird Buddies has undertaken a significant and extensive community education program to promote the issues facing shorebirds along the length of the Cape Byron Marine Park and beyond. ‘During the peak breeding and migratory shorebird sea-

son, BBB members are very active both at the Belongil and at other locations, undertaking the placement of signage, monitoring bird activities and numbers, and reporting these both locally and to larger conservation agencies such as Birds Australia. These reports are available on the BBB website. ‘Byron Bird Buddies welcomes the participation of community members who are able to work in a respectful and cooperative manner for the conservation of shorebirds.’

Short story winners announced Story & photo Lou Beaumont The Nicholas Shand Beach Hotel Short Story Competition winners were announced last week. All winners were first time entrants in the competition and were surprised and pleased by the news. Mary-Ellen Stringer from Byron Bay won first prize of $1,000 with her story Something Blue. Rak Razam of Mullumbimby won second prize ($500) with Sushi Train and David Hertzberg from Byron Bay won the newly introduced under 18 category with A Blood Red Moon, also with a prize of $500. Byron Bay’s Jane Camens was highly commended for Title and Plot. As always, writers submitted stories under pen names to ensure fair judging. Stringer’s winning story, a fictional tale based on nonfictional life experience with undertones of cultural criticism, tells the story of a boy and a young girl who are unable to pursue a romantic relationship. She says, ‘He plays the trumpet and she dances, and together they form a relationship through their arts instead of romantically.’ Stringer incorporates some local political comment into her plot as well, which is a self-professed habit of hers. Youth winner 17 year old David Hertzberg from Byron Bay High, whose paternal grandmother Nancy Keesing was a renowned author and poet, has only ever written stories out of necessity for school. He says, ‘The Blood Red Moon is entirely fictional and is a story that was triggered by the horror youth road

crash on Broken Head Road.’ And just for the record, David’s maternal grandmother, present at the prize presentation, is his number one fan. Rak Razam, a newcomer to the Shire, only arrived four months ago, was happy to be runner-up as he would have liked an extra day to ﬁne tune Sushi Train. The biographical story was inspired by a recent relationship and was written from the point of view of his exgirlfriend. Razam, who found it challenging writing from the female perspective, told The Echo, ‘It was somewhat cathartic to write this story and I was pleased to submit it to the comp as it had a good emotional anchor and is set in the Shire. It’s all about the choices we make, following these choices and being happy with them.’ Former overseer of the competition, Raylee Delaney, told The Echo, ‘During

my ten years as Arts and Community Liaison for the Beach Hotel, this short story competition was one of my favourite projects. Not only was it an opportunity to foster the art of the short story – a tricky medium – but also wonderful to honour Nicholas Shand, who was a dear friend. This local competition has been a small but effective starting block for many budding writers. May it continue in ﬁne style.’ And continue it will. New co-owner of the Beach Hotel, Elke Van Haandel, told The Echo she is looking forward to continuing the tradition of supporting writers in the Shire. And as to the judges’ comments: ‘We felt that while the quality of stories entered has improved over the years – the dolphin count was mercifully low – the stories entered by the under18s showed more imagination and originality than most of the adult writers. ‘For those of us who have

done the judging more than once, it’s interesting to see how the subjects chosen change over time. ‘Even though the subject is only given as a Byron Shire story this seems to have been the year of the breakup story. As one judge summarised, “misunderstood goddesses running away from boring men”. But this was a more optimistic storyline than the year that every second entry seemed to have a theme of despair or suicide! ‘In general, it’s probably best for entrants to underplay the “Byron” bit – it doesn’t need to be hammered home – and pay more attention to the story, which is what we’re looking for. The Byron Shire inﬂuences should show themselves as an integral part of the story, not necessarily as the subject.’ The Echo will publish all three winning entries. MaryEllen Stringer’s Something Blue is published this week on page 15.

Scott Kenney of Byron Bay and his dance partner Joanna Zielinska of Ocean Shores have been chosen as NSW State Ambassadors for the 2007 International Day of People with a Disability (IDPWD). They have been invited to join 18 other starstudded Ambassadors at the state launch of the Don’t DIS my Ability campaign in Sydney on Monday November 5. Hosted by Wendy Harmer, the campaign will be ofﬁcially opened by Kristina Keneally, Minister for Disability Services.The campaign

includes a ﬁlmed dance performance by Scott and Joanna at the Sydney Theatre Company. Scott, a below knee amputee and current National Wheelchair Dancesport Champion, said, ‘Joanna and I were delighted to have our dance ﬁlmed and hope it conveys a strong message that society focus on peoples’ individual skills and talents, rather than any perceived disabilities.’ The Don’t DIS my Ability campaign is funded by the NSW state government and is organised by the Depart-

ment of Ageing, Disability and Home Care (DADHC). More than 110 events will be held in November and December to celebrate the 2007 IDPWD. Included among these events will be Lismore City Council’s third December celebrations entitled ‘My Story – celebrating the stories of local people with a disability.’ Visit the IDPWD website at www.internationaldayofpeoplewithadisability.com. aufor more information about the campaign, events, Ambassadors and YouTube video clips.

Pollies wanted for climate action walk Hundreds of far north coast residents are expected to join a walk around the Cape Byron Lighthouse on Saturday November 3 to send a message to all politicians that greater action to tackle dangerous climate change is wanted. Joining an expected 250,000 people taking part in organised walks in cities and towns throughout Australia in the lead up to the

federal election, local residents will call for real commitments from our political leaders to stop the worst impacts of climate change, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 30 per cent by 2020. ‘We ask our local politicians to take time out of their busy electoral schedules and join us,’ said Sue Fielder of the Ballina Cli-

mate Action Network. ‘From the Cape Byron Lighthouse they will have a 360 degree view of what is at stake.’ It’s a relaxed and fun day with a serious message, so bring your banners and make a statement.

Piano man keeps the dream alive Brian Mollet When this piano rolled off the factory ďŹ&#x201A;oor in Dresden in 1885 Otto von Bismarck was in control of the new German federation, Karl Benz was building the ďŹ rst petrol driven car, and Tchaikovsky was doing some of his best work. Built for a time that predates motion pictures, this Ernst Kaps walnut parlour grand was originally owned by the Blumer family who during the tempestuous 1930s relocated from Germany and the rise of fascism to Adelaide, then Sydney.The instrument still bears technicianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s marks continuous between 1934 and 1965 and was obviously well loved and maintained during those years. Current owner Jackie Ash of Bangalow obtained it through her aunt in 1980 from Beatrice Blumer. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;It was still playable when we ďŹ rst got it, but it needed work,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; says Jackie. Much relocation and many years took their toll. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I never had the time or the resources to have it restored, but I was determined not to let such a beautiful instrument with so much history be scrapped.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Jackie decided to go ahead with the restoration two years ago, but the grand old instrument was in quite a state when she called in local tuner, technician and piano guru Norman Appel. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;When I ďŹ rst looked it over I knew it would be a huge job,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said Norm, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The metal parts had corroded, strings were broken, and being such early technology many of the moving parts were made of leather, felt or paper and well beyond repair. It was a bit daunting, but such a lovely old piano and the owners were very attached to it, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why I decided to give it a go.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Daunting is a mild word when you consider that a grand piano has up to 5000 moving parts and each of the 85 keys have 30 separate

Layby for Christmas! Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m Bruce Martin, owner of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Free to Rideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in Byron Bay. As you can see, we carry an extensive range of cycles in-store.

adjustments that must be made when regulating the action. Norm also had to modify and install a new damper system, and call in other experts such as a specialist string maker from Sydney, and antique restorer Steven Thurston from Yelgun who repaired and polished the stunning walnut case. After 245 hours of workshop time the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;old girlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; looks and sounds every bit as good she did way back then and is ready to go home. Jackie is thrilled to have the piano back and full of praise for Norm and his restoration team. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also nice to think that now someone else can own it after me one day,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; she adds. Norman says he is delighted with how well the piano plays but it will be a while before he would again consider taking on a job of that size. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;My ďŹ shing gear hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen much use lately,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; he says. Norman also looks after the fabulous Steinway concert grand at the Byron Bay Community centre. Roger Woodward, the internationally regarded Australian pianist, has been quoted as saying he believes it to be one of the three best pianos in Australia. Certainly the calibre of performers attracted to Byron to play the Stein-

way is a coup for the Byron music community. After 30 years of tuning, Norm has worked with so many famous musicians that he can drop names like few others. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I grew up listening to rock and blues, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve worked for Dylan, Neil Young, U2, Santana and Sting, but I have to say that the classical musicians are by far the most skillful and versatile of them all. The things they can do are amazing. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;What not many people realise is that having the Steinway at the Community Centre is the equivalent of having a formula one racing car available; it is the ultimate machine for what it does.The elite players who have been attracted here by the chance to play it are like the drivers, your Mark Webbers or Nigel Mansells, and as the technician I see myself as the pit crew.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; The Dutch born Australian pianist Gerard Willems is the latest in a series of stellar performers brought to the area

through the efforts of the Byron Music Society and the Community Centre management. Willems is acknowledged as the ďŹ rst Australian or Dutchman to record the complete Beethoven Sonata cycle, a themed series of 32 pieces which are considered a sort of a Rhodes scholarship in piano playing, as they test every nuance of a performerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s technique. Also a multiple ARIA award winner, Gerard Willems appears at the Byron Community Centre on Sunday October 28 at 2pm.Tickets are $30 and can be prebooked at the venue. Norman Appel says, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I saw Piers Lane play the Steinway at the Community Centre last year and there were no more than 30 or 40 people. He played Debussy that night and people were moved to tears, he was fabulous. But I thought it was a tragedy that more people werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t there. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Even if you arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a classical music buff you will be amazed at what these players, and the piano, can do.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

BU bags state of beaches Business lobby group Byron United is calling for a ‘No Butts’ beach. A recent audit by Byron United representative Paul Prior, who volunteers ten hours of his own time each week to cleaning the beach, revealed some less than savoury results. Paul has collected thousands of cigarette butts off Main and Clarkes Beaches but that is only the start of the problems. He cited areas littered with broken glass, bottle caps and rubbish, dangerous drains and sub standard toilet facilities. While he commended Byron Shire Council’s new bins, he pointed out that for a green council there was no recycling policy and the bins in a matter of months were smelly and putrid as they were not being washed out. While Paul said there seemed to be an over-proliferation of signs, the ones that were in place were covered with grafﬁti, faded and rusted. While lawns were being maintained nobody was bothering to trim round signs, bins and seats which left the area looking shabby. Toilet amenities at Watego’s, Clarkes and Main Beach were described as nothing short of disgusting.

Why do so many independent hotel owners get into bed with us?

‘Disgrace’ ‘It is a disgrace that we are asking locals and tourists alike to use these substandard facilities,’ he said. ‘The men’s toilets at Watego’s have been leaking for in excess of 12 months.’ Paul suggested a new form of Council revenue raising that was directly channelled into preserving the beaches. Byron United president Ed Ahern said, ‘We fully supported a campaign to make Byron Bay beaches “Butt Free”. I think we need to lead by example – Byron Bay beaches are iconic and we need to do everything in our power to preserve them. ‘I would urge the Council to seriously consider this as part of their “Expect Respect” campaign.’

Wormâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s progress will be forgotten Vol 22 #20

October 23, 2007

A culture of compliance â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Sign Sign everywhere a sign/ Blocking out the scenery breaking my mind.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now 37 years since the Five Man Electrical Band (still getting gigs â&#x20AC;&#x201C; see www.ďŹ vemanelectricalband.ca) penned these lyrics, and they still remain true. Byron Bay is not downtown Tokyo but it sprouts ugly signs like cow paddocks do goldtops after spring rain. Our municipal authority is onto it. Given to manifesting signs itself, Byron Shire Council recently voted 6-4 to introduce some sign conformity to the Bay, one of those tasks which over the years has proven as difďŹ cult as knitting socks from live eels. There will be an â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;amnesty type consultation processâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for six months so business owners who foisted their bad taste upon the public without notice donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel ambushed. The aim of the amnesty is to encourage â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;a culture of compliance; consideration of a level playing ďŹ eld for business; and a visually more attractive commercial environmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Council will provide self assessment kits to business owners. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;If: A. My own sign makes me bilious B. People start ďŹ tting outside the shop entrance. C. I regard puce and lime as complementary colours, Then my sign is a danger to public health.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Actually the sign requirements are more to do with dimensions and placement, though there are merit-based considerations, for example: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Council will consider (a) whether the design quality of the sign is an embellishment to the environmentâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Now thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a job to keep architects, lawyers and a handful of art critics busy for weeks. We suppose itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too much to ask for a theme to run through signage â&#x20AC;&#x201C; other than Contemporary Australian Berserk. Perhaps Teletubbies Teaming, or, if we truly regard ourselves as part of South-East Asia, a mad proliferation of little signs rather than the half-arsed non-conformity we have at present. Further to the Council vote, the fearsomely named Compliance, Public Order and Safety Team â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;will continue to carry out compliance action on signage which pose [sic] an Occupational Health and Safety risk in accordance with Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Unauthorised Development Policyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. One can sense the ghouls of public indemnity insurance snifďŹ ng the air at that. There is another option, one more suited to the freeform Zennish society we sometimes like to imagine ourselves to be â&#x20AC;&#x201C; have no signs at all. Bring back the Dymo label maker and stick a line of 24 point type to each businessâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s front door to identify it among the uniformly painted facades, perhaps in a tasteful beachy-sounding variation of beige such as Driftwood or Dune. It would certainly make shopping more of a game.

abor supporters are understandably chuffed by the not so great debate, so they might as well enjoy it while they can; when people go to the polls in 30 days time it will be at best a distant memory and at worst totally forgotten. And this, of course, is just the way John Howard planned it: a single debate right at the start of the campaign hedged round with enough terms and conditions to make it stultifyingly boring for the few viewers engaged enough to desert Kath and Kim for a brief glimpse of their leaders. In the circumstances it is surprising that anyone watched it at all â&#x20AC;&#x201C; except, of course, the worm. Howard hates the worm and from the start it was clear that the hatred is mutual: every time the camera moved to the prime minister the annelid burrowed its way to the depths of the screen, only to leap back to life when Howard was replaced by Kevin Rudd. In the end the worm scored it 65-29, better than two to one Ruddâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s way, which was probably about right. Howard looked old, tired and ďŹ&#x201A;at while Ruddâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s initial nervousness was quickly transformed into a confidence verging on cockiness. But it should be stressed that the worm was no bleeding heart, latte-sipping elitist; one of Howardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s few good moments was when he defended his invasion of the Northern Territory. The worm didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mind a bit of hardball. And for this reason its verdict probably matters more than the Liberal spin doctors are prepared to admit. On the night, Rudd won on the bedrock issues which are supposed to be

For me at least the best thing about the debate was that Rudd ďŹ nally mounted a spirited defence of the trade union movement.

by Mungo MacCallum who step out of line. This has given some validity to Howardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s line about the awfulness of a front bench with a 70 percent membership of former union operatives: if their own leader is constantly demanding the expulsion of their colleagues from his party, they must be at least a triďŹ&#x201A;e suss. The coalitionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s line of attack has admittedly been a little confused: at least two of the frontbenchers characterised as union officials â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Wayne Swan and Craig Emerson â&#x20AC;&#x201C; have never been anything of the sort. They are certainly rank-and-ďŹ le union members, but even Howard admits that it hardly

context of economic and political reality. Union ofďŹ cials who have come to Canberra have included John Curtin, Ben ChiďŹ&#x201A;ey, Bob Hawke, Mick Young, Clyde Cameron, and Ralph Willis, all universally acclaimed. It is, of course, true that none of them had ever run a business, unlike John Elliott, Alan Bond or Rodney Adler, but you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have everything. Howardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s present cabinet, incidentally, consists of one army ofďŹ cer, one bank economist, one doctor (who is also a former union boss), one stock and station agent, two farmers and twelve lawyers. Our choice, then, is between a government dominated by representatives of the workers or one dominated by the hired guns of the legal profession. I know which Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d pick.

boom times can continue for ever and ever, if he can only become prime minister. It has taken Rudd to point out that most union ofďŹ cials, like most members of parliament, are dedicated to serving their constituents and to the wider good; that they are by and large idealistic and hard-working, and that while some might get corrupted by the system â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as indeed do some politicians â&#x20AC;&#x201C; their calling is an honourable one, and by its very nature is good preparation for a wider political career.

ronically Laborâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deputy leader Julia Gillard is a lawyer and not a former union ofďŹ cial, but that has not saved her from being the object of some of the coalitionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nastiest personal attacks. Last week she was outed as a former member of a university group called the Socialist Forum, a sort of lefty debating society whose membership also included (the horror! the horror!) some ex-Communists. For Peter Costello, this was the ultimate proof that Gillard had horns and a tail and was dedicated to the overthrow of society as we know it. Alas, others remembered Costelloâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own university days, when the long-haired ďŹ rebrand was a zealous devotee of Democratic Socialism, and frequently attended training camps with his fellow revolutionaries. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not on his CV, either. Funny, that.

Then Howardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own Workplace Relations Minister, Joe Hockey, claims that the unions are essentially ďŹ nished.

Better news for Grandma Response to ‘Grandma’s Parking Penalty’ (Letters, October 2) I am writing in relation to the letter about an Infringement Notice issued at Brunswick Heads for parking in a space for persons with a disability without a current permit. I can advise that Council has worked with the State Debt Recovery Office to have the penalty cancelled. I have also written to the family to express my apologies for the unfortunate circumstances.

Council’s Rangers are not authorised to cancel penalty notices once they have been issued. Council uses the State Debt Recovery Ofﬁce as a third party to review infringements issued to ensure a clear and transparent process for appeals. This reduces the risk of corruption or favouritism in enforcement of parking restrictions. Council has an obligation to the community to ensure that parking bays designated for the use of people with disabilities are maintained

for equitable access. Council will continue to enforce such parking restrictions. However, there is an appeals process available to recognise exceptional circumstances such as that outlined in the letter. I hope this clariﬁes the matter for the community as a whole. Requests for review of penalty infringement notices should be directed to the State Debt Recovery Ofﬁce.

wildlife, livestock and other animals including dogs are becoming far too frequent with more than two reported dog attacks every week within Byron Shire! This is unacceptable. The problem is prevalent in the hinterland, towns, coastal villages and the beaches. We are frequently told tales by exasperated dog owners about attacks and intimidation from other dogs. The culture of loyalty within the dog owning community, ie not reporting dog breaches to Council, only undermines the rangers’ efforts to improve the situation. Is this why so many dog owners habitually do the wrong thing and remain unchecked? The time has come to name and shame those owners who disregard their responsibilities by allowing their dogs to roam with no supervision and no identiﬁcation. Watchdog Alliance believes that there are two areas which can make a difference. Firstly, the allocation of more resources by the Ranger Service and stricter enforced compliance, and secondly, the requirement

for the community to work cooperatively with the Rangers to ensure more positive outcomes. The public has a right to expect and demand protection and support from those designated to provide it. It is unfortunate that the visible minority give a bad name to those who act responsibly. As the weather warms up we invariably see more dogs out and about, so let’s join together to try to improve the situation before more people and animals are seriously injured or killed. We implore dog owners to have a care, do the right thing and have the convic-

More on weeds Geoff Dawe’s polemic on weeds (Letters, October 16) is only half right and the half that is wrong is very dangerous. Sure, weeds can be classiﬁed as plants utilising marginal land that have no apparent use. But that only applies to ‘weeds’ that have evolved in an area, ie local weeds. Introduced ‘weeds’ such as Madeira Vine compete ver y aggressively for resources – sunlight, water and soil – and overwhelm the locals. (Think of the analogy of tourism in Byron!) There is nothing degraded about the soils that Madeira, Cats Claw and Buddlia take over. If you want to increase the organic matter in your vegie garden you could certainly plant Madeira Vine or Singapore Daisy, but you would have a hell of a time getting any vegies thereafter.

E-waste disposal

I read the article about the new disposal promotion for e-waste that is being instituted by the Byron council. I would like to ask if it is possible to suggest an alternative to just chucking waste in a hole or sending dumped computers for stripping to the poorer areas of China. As somewhat of an IT guru I have been trying to ﬁnd support for a project to obtain working recycled computers from the government, corporations and indi-

OS sportsﬁelds For too long now, the largest population in the Shire has been denied proper sports facilities and open space for our kids to just kick a ball when they feel like it. When Byron Council stopped Stage 3 of Ocean Shores, they robbed this community of a private hospital, a surf club, sportsﬁelds, a cultural centre, a high school (I have the original development maps), and a real bridge instead of a bund. When this Council sold off Lot 107 Shara Boulevarde last year (18 high, dry acres just 1,000 metres down the road from the OS School) for a piddling $250,000, they robbed this community of the last land large enough to support an integrated sports facility for a large number of growing sports groups. Now all we have left is

small potential pockets in Waterlily Park for netball and tennis, New Brighton Oval for soccer, South Golden Beach for a skateboard park, possibly Yelgun Creek Flats for football, and OS School for basketball, and that still does not accommodate all sports based here. Certain small groups are speaking within Council on behalf of the whole (10,000 population) of Greater Ocean Shores without any consideration of the many disadvantages experienced by parents, particularly those who have kids in multiple sports; families who have difﬁculties with transporting their kids so far to events, and the cost of sending their kids on public transport to distant sports every week. Are the Greater Ocean Shores families happy to accept Mullumbimby as their home grounds? If not, you might like to attend Ocean Shores Community Association’s next meeting on October 29 at 7.30pm, Ocean Shores Community Centre, to ﬁnd out what you can do to keep your sports here in Ocean Shores, or lobby Councillors to voice your opinion on this inequitable situation, or

write to the Minister for Local Government. This Council has promised us sportsﬁelds in Ocean Shores many times before elections, but they have failed in their duty of care to

provide adequate sports facilities to this large community. Are you going to let them get away with this ?

Arakwal concern

I would like to acknowledge the wonderful community engagement demonstrated by Arakwal leaders. In parTina Petroff ticular, I believe all of us Ocean Shores have much to learn from

their genuine and consistent concern for the young people of our community. Over the last few years I have observed firsthand as the Aunties, Yvonne, Delta, Nigel and others have been

The choice is yours: use your vote wisely Q Voting for a minor party is not a wasted vote, in fact it effectively gives a voter two votes. If you are a voter disillusioned by both major parties use your democratic right to tell them so. The single member ‘preferential’ voting system we have in Australia means that only the ALP or the Coalition can be elected to government. Because the Electoral Act says that all preferences (below the line), on a ballot paper must be numbered, all preferences will eventually go to whichever of the two major parties indicated. Whichever of the two major parties gets the most votes after preferences are distributed wins. If for example, you put the Greens No 1 on your ballot paper you are registering your ‘protest’ vote but still get to vote for the party of your choice (your second

vote) according to how you number your ballot paper. The Greens, who want real action on climate change and fairer workplace laws, will indicate on their ticket which major party they recommend. The choice is yours! Vivien Royston

New Brighton Q John Howard’s proposal for a referendum to have a mention in the Preamble of Australia’s Constitution recognising the Aboriginal People as the original inhabitants is one of his most deceitful, contemptuous, cunning tricks leading up to the federal election. Recently the United Nations, after some twenty years of procrastination and haggling, has passed a resolution recognising the rights of Indigenous Peoples to their land and culture. If Howard was serious and

wished to give Aboriginal People just and rightful treatment he would urge that we embody within the Constitution principles recommended in the United Nations resolution. Giving mention to Aboriginal People in the Preamble is mere tokenism and is obviously designed to give white Australia a ‘feel good’ mentality while at the same time Aboriginal land can be easily resumed for mining and dumping uranium waste. ‘Me Too’ Kevin Rudd supports Howard’s’ denial of this basic and just right for Aboriginal People as is stated in the United Nations resolution, illustrating that both major parties prefer to ensure the proﬁt-making of large mining and pastoral interests. If there is to be a referendum we should at the same time also have a vote for a

infrastructure need improving. Carers need more support and recognition. The Australian Democrats bring honesty, compassion and tolerance to political life and these elements are essential to our national wellbeing. This election is about the big picture: who do we want to be? What sort of society will we become? Dare to dream it. Do we want to be like John Howard or more like Lance Ferris aka the Pelican Man? I hope voters will see Howard’s tax cuts for what they are – political grandstanding. If the Coalition was serious about tax reform why wait to announce this just in time for the election? Do you trust them? Now more than ever, we need the Democrats to keep the bastards honest. Scott Sledge

Letters involved in numerous community activities, projects and discussions that seek not only to make this community more peaceful and caring but also a community that looks after future generations, both black and white. If anyone has any doubts about how Arakwal people care about this community and the message they are trying to share with all of us I would suggest you take a short walk down the track that leads to the ByronYouth Centre in the Sandhills Estate. Take time to sit in the garden and observe the front door. There you will see a wonderful mosaic that highlights the totems of this region and shares the following message to all who pass through the doorway: ‘We belong this country, We look after this country, Don’t do wrong around here this country, We don’t harm this

country here, We belong to it this country.’ If such a message was placed on the road into town it may act as a clear reminder to all who live and visit Byron Bay that all of us are indebted to the wisdom and foresight of the original owners of this land. A people that have always looked beyond the needs of the individual to the greater needs of the wider community. The original sustainability experts. Paul Spooner

Alcohol ads Since when did alcohol advertising come back to our cinema screens – especially during school holidays? Last week I saw an ad at Byron Cinemas which has left a lasting impression on me. I only saw it once, and this is what I remember: The

scene is a toy village and in the street a little bride in wedding dress is standing with the groom. She says to him in a high pitched childlike voice something like: ‘I can hardly believe we are married at last!’ His response: ‘Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn’. A large item comes into the picture and smashes the couple with sudden and shocking violence. I am confused about what followed except hey, there’s the beer – and there are frolicking green hops fairies in a fantasy world of fun, freedom and innocence – a magical alternative to the marriage, the symbols of which have been shattered. To me, the themes of this ad are misogyny (the woman looks pathetic while the bloke is tough and abuses her on their wedding day); domestic violence (the way to deal with relationship is to destroy it); encouraging

alcohol consumption (the blissful escape from reality); and the targeting of a juvenile audience who identify with toys and cute cartoon leprechaun ﬁgures who are the ‘Hopheads’ Trevor and Spike. Furthermore, this beer is called ‘Little Creatures’ and its logo depicts a cherub holding a glass of beer… charming, adorable and so attractive to Little People! Deborah Lilly

Letters

The splendour of festivals: the melody lingers on Q Peter Noble and Bluesfest are at work again: keeping letter writers honest and The Echo onside. Peter ‘stresses’ (Backlash, October 9) that there has been no announcement of multiple large scale events on the property owned by Bluesfest at Tyagarah. Still, he chose not to clear the air by signing off on a statutory declaration that no other events of signiﬁcance will be held there. Hence the issue and the pressure. Kate Little (Letters, October 2), publicist for Splendour, still ‘fails to understand the local opposition’ to Splendour’s huge proposal in a sensitive and rural location with impact on the whole Shire, and it seems so do many of the councillors. Get it right. Bluesfest and Splendour want to extend the two biggest DAs (by numbers and by impact) in the Shire and yet they complain about and don’t understand opposition. For my part: cap the festivals and keep them close to Byron Bay. If the town can not handle that or the promotors do not like the restriction then they need to leave the Shire. Chris (Gyan) Moyes

Tyagarah Q Opponents of big gigs in Byron fail to understand the increasing importance of live events in the creative digital economy. The phenomenal growth of peer-to-peer (P2P) ﬁle sharing as a way of promoting and distributing music means live events are the way for creative artists to make money. Now able to create their own following on the Net by distributing their music for free, musicians are liberated from the monopolistic contracts of large recording studios who still insist on distributing licensed product on atom based CDs, a quaint twentieth century economic model. Many artists are appalled by the attempts of the large recording studios, mainly US based monopolists, to litigate P2P software distributors such as Kazaa out of existence. Consumers owe

no loyalty to recording studios that insist on ﬁning a single mum whose errant teenager obtained a movie for free through Bit Torrent. Being consumers of the nottoo-distant future, these teenagers will not forget. We need more big gigs, not less. Even more so where owners of the events such as Peter Noble and Village Sounds choose to live here, not exploit it from afar. Create and distribute for free – make good money at a big gig, thereby buying time to create more. Byron needs more creators, not servants for tourists and absentee landlords. Graham Bassett

Byron Bay Q I couldn’t quite ascertain exactly what you, John Addis (Letters, October 9), found undesirable about these people you observed at the bus stop round Splendour time. Was it a)that they were catching a bus, b)that they were drinking Bundaberg Rum. or c) they were having a good time while you were on soccer duty? Isn’t it a good thing that people are using public transport, especially if they’re under the inﬂuence of alcohol? Some people do not need a professionally printed and embossed invitation to a champagne breakfast in order to imbibe alcohol before noon. It is not a crime. Perhaps you abhor rum. Or is it simply you don’t want people round here who can’t afford to run a car and have to catch a bus? You imply you would prefer conspicuous consumer yuppies to visit Byron and not people locked into workchoice agreements and receiving the minium wage who love music and catch buses and possibly, God forbid, drink rum. Hey I’m not big on rum either but I don’t think people who do drink it should be discriminated against. If you’d been around in the late 1700s the people standing on the street drinking rum at 9.30 in the morning would have been the police. You would prefer it seems ‘high yield family-based tourists’ to frequent our

shire, people who don’t catch buses, people who will buy a whole lot of stuff they probably don’t need. It’s a bloody shame, isn’t it, when nourishment of the soul and the love of music is vilified, and the pursuit of economic growth is now apparently our life’s mission. People also seem to be offended by the fact that festivals sometimes make a profit. Are all people who kick a financial goal bad? Has every event these people staged in their lives made a profit? I think you get into the music industry because you love music, if you make money it’s because there’s a whole lot of people out there who love what you’re doing. The festival organisers seem to be committed to the preservation of the environment. I mean, the people in the north of the shire didn’t give a native rat’s arse about the wildlife corridor when they were going to build the sportsfield in the middle of it, did they? Yet John Addis and others paint a scene like something out of Apocalypse Now. The horror! I urge you again to look at the event from the inside and see that it’s all quite soft and furry.

young people who come to Australia for at least some time of their holiday. I don’t think this will ever change and I do think this has a lot to do with our number of music/alcohol venues and the volume of people they can hold and the frequency of the entertainment available. I don’t think these festivals will change property prices in Byron but maybe it won’t be a bad thing if they do. I think the reason we are ending up with so many chain based retailers is that the shop rents are so outrageously high that people entering business feel safer under the umbrella of a known brand. Protests stopped Club Med, but we got Becton. We didn’t get McDonald’s but we did get Domino’s, Legend Pizza and Subway. Maybe these venues won’t be as bad as what could come. Cass Emanuel

Mullumbimby

Liz Nankervis

Coorabell Q In John Addis’s letter he laments that Byron will lose its individual retailers and be replaced with chain based retailers if more festivals come to Byron. I am shocked that he hasn’t noticed that this has already happened and not, I think, due to the festivals we have. Byron has 18 chain stores that I can count, not including real estate agencies, day care centres, petrol stations and supermarkets. The town is already shaped by the music/alcohol venues we have now and people carrying alcohol at 9.30am is not uncommon at any time. Byron is not a family holiday friendly town, it is expensive, our public toilets are disgusting and our parks and public spaces (apart from the beach) depressing. For years Byron has been a town to come to to party and we attract most of the

Q My dear GM, council and fellow Echo readers: I have a long standing perception that authorities in this shire have developed a negative attitude towards events. Byron NYE celebrations is a classic example. In the 90s we were lucky enough to have tourists flock to our town for NYE. Fear mongering or short-sightedness led to an official decree to issue ‘locals only’ traffic permits for entry to Byron over NYE, and a ban was introduced on advertising the event outside the area, effectively making our customer base feel unwelcome. It was apparent to everybody that by 1994 the NYE event had outgrown the town centre but in any other town in the world, especially a town that relies on tourism, the potential would have been recognised and avenues explored to create appropriate venue sites in the shire. Example – when some friends of mine staged a three day dance party in Queensland the local chamber of commerce asked the promoters to join them in a photo shoot to go with a newspaper article to be

headlined ‘Kennilworth, home of Elixir’. Another example is the up and coming Exodus festival in Tenterfield. A neighbouring council, which is trying to poach the festival, has been tempting the promoters with sites and promises of help with traffic management and DA assistance. Incidentally Exodus is run by Byron locals. The reason it’s in Tenterfield is because of the difficulties involved in staging it closer to Byron. It has been obvious to me and many others in the area that events like Splendour, the Bluesfest, the local ‘bush doof ’ movement, Byron NYE celebrations, among others, form part of the fabric that make our society unique. In other words festivals create greenies.They are where the alternative movement was born. I still find it hard to believe that this community, my community, stood by while a small minority managed to prevent Bob Dylan performing at Eagle Farm, Tyagarah. The council’s sluggish attitude towards approving DAs did not help. When Ballina found out about Bob Dylan they approved him instantly and took our opportunity for themselves. I wholeheartedly approve of North Byron Shire Parklands and incidentally Bluesfest’s new site, the local ‘bush doof ’ movement, Byron NYE celebrations (perhaps at the NBSP), The Entertainment Centre and the IQ. I would like our council and the chamber of commerce to assist anyone trying to stage an event here, particularly in finding solutions to environmental issues that may arise. Myles Osborne

Seven Mile Beach Q After reading the letters to The Echo about the proposed festival site at Yelgun I think it is time for a lot of people to take a deep breath. I was present at the meeting in Ocean Shores and agree that the meeting was pretty chaotic and like some of your correspondents I thought it

bad form that speakers pro the festival were heckled. On the other hand I believe that anger is a perfectly legitimate response by those who feel their lifestyle is threatened. We just need to stick to the issue and not feel the need to demonise and denigrate those on the other side. This need not be an Ocean Shores/Yelgun shootout with the rest of the shire’s residents who may be quite happy to have the festival up here because they won’t hear it where they are. Both stances are equally NIMBYish. If you agree that the festival should take place, then you should be equally happy to have it across the road or valley from your house. The majority of people opposed to the festival site are not opposed to festivals. They are opposed to the scale and frequency. This is a perfectly legitimate position. The developers of the festival site are not evil people. They have their own dream. Many of us do attend and do enjoy both the Blues and Splendour festivals. Our home is the closest home to the Splendour site in all of Ocean Shores. I am personally happy to cope with one festival on that site per year but deﬁnitely not two. Just because the developers are planning a greening of the site, it does not, however, change the site from a bad location to a good one for the holding of festivals of 20,000+ magnitude. The community of Byron Shire as a whole needs to consider whether we can continue to cope with increasing numbers of tourists and the events that bring them here in ever greater numbers. Our infrastructure and natural environment is already buckling under the strain. Our sense of community (judging by the tone of the letters) is similarly under stress. Right now we are at the crossroads. One sign says ‘make a stand’. The other reads ‘it’s just progress’. Mac Nicolson

Local plumbers in line for green award St Helena-based Marriott Plumbing’s work in turning the Banyule District Scout Halls green has seen them being declared as a ﬁnalist in the national GreenPlumbers Awards – an industry showcase of environmentallyconscious products and services for the plumbing industry. Marriot Plumbing was approached by the Banyule District Scouts to help them maximise their recently awarded Commonwealth Government grant in achiev-

ing water savings throughout their facilities. They also wanted to create an educational experience for the scouts. Utilising volunteer labour from the scouts to reduce labour costs, Marriott Plumbing replaced 38 single flush toilets with dual flush suites across 15 halls in the district and installed flow control restrictors and push button timed taps to control and restrict water flow within the facilities. Waterless urinals and vandal resistant

taps were also installed, and two of the halls were ﬁtted with electronic Water Guard systems to stop water loss. Marriot Plumbing’s work in the design and installation of this system has seen the company being announced as a ﬁnalist in the Domestic Project of the Year category at the 2007 GreenPlumbers Awards. Winners will be announced at a luncheon to be held in Melbourne on November 20. Peter Marriott, Director of Marriott Plumbing, says that

the work on the scout halls has reduced the potential for major water loss through burst pipes or the disrepair of ﬁxtures. ‘It has been calculated that the works on the Banyule District Scout Halls will save a minimum of 369,000 litres of water each year based on the daily usage of water,’ says Peter. ‘The project is now entering its last stage and that is the educational stage, where the Scouts can be exposed to modern water saving tech-

nologies with the hope of this knowledge ﬂowing into the broader community.’ GreenPlumbers is a training and accreditation initiative developed by the Master Plumbers’ and Mechanical Services Association of Australia (MPMSAA) as the gateway to a ‘green’ plumbing business. The awards are a way for the association to acknowledge the contributions made to the environment by individual plumbers and manufacturers.

Whale site hacked Dean Jefferys’s anti-whaling website www.flightofthehumpback.org was the target of a Japanese hacking attempt on September 25. The Echo web server, the host of Jefferys’s site, was taken down by the attack for half a day. Creator of the site, Michael Kelly-Gleeson, said, ‘We had 21,000 infected windows computers being used as a botnet Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) attack probably controlled by Russian mafia whose services were paid for by Japanese whalers.’ Kelly-Gleeson explained that a DDOS attack is a common form of hacking. It is the equivalent of sending tens of thousands of people to your front door in order to stop real visitors from entering. It is difficult to trace and therefore stop a DDOS attack but the site has been sent to an ultra secure host specialising in high risk sites. The specialist is busy sending all the bad guys into a technical black hole. One look at www.flightofthehumpback.org, specifically the second video clip, may give you some idea of why Japan wouldn’t want too many people to visit the site. The footage is as distressing as it gets. There are also petitions to be signed on the site.

Amitayus Hospice Service says many people needing palliative care for loved ones are making contact too late, when everyone is exhausted and when hospital seems the only option. The sooner palliative care help is enlisted, the better the care, especially to assist coordination of other support. Amitayus is an ‘at home’ hospice service offering free, compassionate support for people facing end of life issues, who wish to die at home with the help and support of family and friends. Run entirely by trained volunteers, Amitayus can provide support for the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of clients. The volunteers work with medical practitioners, community and palliative care nurses, and assist primary carers. Amitayus often makes contact after a call from local doctors, oncologists, community nurses and discharge planners at hospitals.

Something Blue M

elancholy is a new word for Sarah and she tries it out on the tune floating in through her bedroom window. It fits. She knows it’s Louis playing the trumpet but it seems to her that the night, warm and still, has made up the music to suit itself. In the distance she can hear the waves rolling onto the beach at Suffolk, even the ocean is keeping time. If she had something to cry about right now she probably would. Not that the tune is especially sad. It reminds her of when Grandpa died of Alzheimer’s and her Mum cried but said she was glad he’d gone because he would have hated being alive without his mind. The music is like the quiet crying her mum did then. Glad crying, if there is such a thing. Side on to the mirror Sarah is admiring the shape of her body. Satisfied, she moves closer to the window and sits on the end of her bed so she can hear the music better. Her Mum is in the kitchen packing boxes and humming along. ‘How do you know this tune, Mum?’ she calls out. ‘It’s Miles Davis. Everybody knows Miles. Or they should.’ Sarah rolls her eyes at her mother’s annoying habit of calling musicians by their first names, like she knows them or something. Everyone at school knows Louis. He plays in bands already and he’s been to Sydney for work experience with a famous trumpet player. On the school bus Sarah had told him she listens to him practising and asked him to play something she would know. ‘Like what?’ he said. She named half a dozen songs. He teased her, saying the songs she wanted were lollipop music. But he played them for her, even though he’s in senior and she’s only a year into high school. She hasn’t told her friends about the night music. She doesn’t want them to ruin it. Sometimes she laughs out loud at the way he plays her songs. He can make rap into coun-

‘So you’ll still be around?’ he says, too keen. Stupid thing to say, from where they’re standing you can practically see what people are watching on television over there. He drops his head. If she notices his burning face she doesn’t say, which makes him like her even more and want to get out of her sight at the same time. He mumbles, turns away from her. Sarah watches him walk up his driveway. Her insides feel like a tantrum that hasn’t been thrown. She jerks her body forward but in the middle of the move she understands, almost in words, about glad crying. She lands in a perfect arabesque. Her whole body strains with it, arm stretched out towards him, palm up, eyes on his retreating back. That night Louis lets the sea set the rhythm, all he has to do is breathe in time and the trumpet plays itself. He pauses, looks at the empty house across the street. He wets his lips and the mouthpiece and closes his eyes. In the echo of the tune he’s been playing he can see her ‘Ever heard the saying “the dancing. He plays the feel, browner the berry the something proud, something sweeter the juice”?’ blue. Louis wants to drive his trumpet case into Brett’s red neck. Standing up, he swings his school bag over his shoulder hoping it will connect with Brett’s boofhead. ‘You know she can dance, don’t you?’ says Brett, scratching his head where the bag hit it. With some effort Louis ignores this comment. ‘I’ve seen her. She does classes with my sister. She can really move.’ Louis thinks - so can I and heads to the music room. With a bit of luck he’ll be in the big smoke next year, less rednecks. When he gets home that afternoon Sarah and her Mum are loading boxes into a truck. ‘Where you going?’ he asks, as if he doesn’t care. ‘Over to Baywood,’ she says, ‘to a smaller place. Cheaper.’ It’s clear she’s not happy about the move.

by Mary Ellen-Stringer, winner of the Nicholas Shand Beach Hotel Short Story Competition try, rock into classical, and what her Mum calls ‘white girls whining’ into thrash metal. But tonight he’s playing his serious music. She sighs and imagines her breath joining with the notes somewhere in the air above their two houses. Louis has put the horn of the trumpet up to the open window and concentrates on playing the feel rather than his technique. He’s ﬁnishing with Miles’s All Blues. He thinks Sarah is a Miles kind of girl; dark skin, dark eyes, long limbs. Proud. He puts the choke from his throat into his playing. She’s just a kid. Next morning in the bus line she gives him half a smile. He understands that their nights are secret. He takes his usual seat next to Brett. When Sarah gets off the bus Brett digs him in the ribs. ‘She’s jailbait, mate,’ says Brett. ‘Who?’ Louis knows he’s unconvincing.

ational at tio ona nal Wa W Water ter W ter We Week eekk was waass fi firrrst st held in 1993. The initiative is designed to help members of the community of all ages and walks of life to understand and take action to protect and conserve our precious water resources and habitats. During National Water Week Australians are encouraged to Protect, Conserve and Get Involved in water resource management. All the water needed by the environment, farms, households and industries comes from rain. Water is essential for life! As a valuable resource, water comprises marine, estuarine, freshwater (rivers and lakes) and groundwater sources in both coastal and inland areas. Quality and quantity are two closely linked dimensions that make up water. Agricultural development has continuously increased since European settlement. As our population grew, so did urban development in towns and cities. As a result, the need for water grew often at the expense of the health of our waterways. Now, Australia cannot sustain an ever-increasing use of water. We are reaching the limits of our available water resources. As a community we need to find solutions and be aware of the ways to manage our water resources today that will not threaten the ability of future generations to meet their needs. As individuals we can all help to protect and conserve our water resources.

Bangalow STP off offe ers sustainability The new Bangalow Sewage Treatment plant (STP) is an integral part of Byron Shire Council’s Integrated Water Cycle Management and addresses community expectations of sustainable water management and the desire to use treated effluent as a valuable resource. The plant is in the final stages of completion with testing to be carried out prior to a report being brought to Council. It features innovative membrane treatment technology and a range of features demonstrating best practice for the protection and conservation of our precious water resources.

The way of the future The old STP was built in the 1970s so the upgrade to latest design technology means there are many benefits: Effluent is filtered to a very high standard resulting in high quality water being discharged to Maori Creek. This offers greater environmental protection and greater compliance to today’s stringent environmental standards. Minimal operator input means that the plant can be remote monitored and controlled. High storm flows that cannot be treated are stored on site and returned to plant for treatment before any creek discharge. Small footprint results in savings in concrete and other high inherent energy consumables. High energy efficiency using modern controls and equipment. A reduction in the demand for potable water from our existing water supply. Reduced discharges of treated effluent into Maori Creek. Over 1000 native trees have been planted along the creek and on site with more to come. Over 800 bamboo plants have been planted on land adjacent to the new Bangalow STP with a fully automatic recycled water irrigation system. These crops of bamboo will be irrigated with treated effluent from the sewage treatment plant. The bamboo plants will uptake nutrients through natural processes of growth.

Nabropure Tank water is great for washing – don’t put it inside you! There are a lot of water-born diseases carried by wildlife to your tank and just carbon filtering is not always enough. Nabropure® has a seven stage filtration system, including Reverse Osmosis and together with UV sterilization gives you pure water. Water is essential for the growth and maintenance of our bodies. Water is lost from the body through breathing, urine and sweat and needs to be continuously replaced. Many people do not consume enough water. Lack of water leads to dehydration causing headaches, tiredness and loss of concentration. Chronic dehydration can contribute to a number of health problems, such as constipation and kidney stones.

Composting toilets less draining on water resources During National Water Week Ecoflo Water Management is challenging residents in New South Wales to make the switch to waterless toilets where they can to prevent thousands of litres of drinking water being flushed down the drain. ‘Waterless toilets are as efficient as flushing toilets, are cheaper to maintain, don’t smell and, more importantly, they don’t use one drop of water. Simply by installing a waterless toilet households could save 35,000 litres of water each year!’ For more information about Ecoflo visit www.ecoflo.net.au or call 1300 768 013 for a free brochure.

National Water Week October 21-27 Water stories launched this week

Quick tips for saving sa water in the home

Painting by Rebecca Kilpatrick

This week, Mullumbimby residents will receive the first in a series of water stories that offer information about the Mullumbimby water supply, its operation and simple ways that we can all help to make the most of our precious water supply. The water stories complement Council’s Long Term Water Supply Management Strategy for Mullumbimby. Council adopted the ‘Mullumbimby Long Term Water Supply Scheme Strategy’ in April 2005. This strategy was developed to ensure the reliability of the water supply to the town in the future.

Our water history

Everyday, there are many simple little things we can do around the house to save water, money and help the environment. Take a look through the tips below for some clever shortcuts to savings. Check for leaks in taps, pipes and hoses – one leaking tap can waste more than 2,000 litres a month. Install water efficient taps or tap aerators & mixers and use 6-8 litres per min instead of 15 litres. Put the plug in the sink instead of using running water when rinsing dishes, washing fruit & vegies or even your hands.

Mullumbimby is proud of its own water supply. This water supply is the lifeblood of the town and has a strong historical association with the community, going back to the cedar getters, who exploited the trees along the riverbanks from the 1850s and early settlers who made their first homes in the 1870s and 1880s

Automatic dishwashers can use up to 40 litres of water per load. By using a dishwasher with at least a 3 star/AAA rating, you can get this figure down to 18 litres per load.

Mullumbimby lies in the heart of the Byron Shire. It is in the catchment of the Brunswick River and is the service centre for the Brunswick Valley including the residents of Main Arm, Mullumbimby Creek, Wilson’s Creek, Goonengerry and Federal. The catchment sits within rich rainforests of the Bunjalung Aboriginal Nation on the edge of three Aboriginal tribal areas: Arakwal, Coodjinburra and Widjabul. The ridgelines are known to be a Dreaming Track for Aboriginal people and its rainforests were a rich food source. Mullumbimby’s water supply is sourced from Laverty’s Gap weir, an upper catchment system, of the Wilson’s River providing good quality water. Originally, the weir supplied power to the town’s hydro-electric power station, located at the foot of Laverty’s gap, which serviced Mullumbimby, Bangalow and Byron Bay. Each town received light from the plant in 1926. Power was also taken to Brunswick Heads in 1933.

The Race

The original water supply scheme was completed in 1939 and consisted of: the weir (a 7m high concrete arch dam on the Wilson’s River at Laverty’s Gap), a race/tunnel from the weir to the treatment plant, a water treatment plant (WTP), two reservoirs, water mains and pipelines. Tests of this water supply showed it was one of the best in the state. Since its initial construction upgrades have been made to the WTP to provide for the current capacity.

Wait until you have a full load in your dishwasher before using it. Install a 3 star/AAA rating showerhead and save around 9 litres of water a minute and around $100 per yr on your water and energy bills. Have a 3 minute shower and use 27 litres of water instead of 54 litres each time. Leave a cup in the bathroom for water to clean your teeth with instead of using running water. Washing machines with 4 star rating use around half as much water as a conventional washing machine – front loading machines use up to 60% less water and around 30% less electricity than most top loaders. Use a water efficient dual flush toilet and choose to flush only half the water in the cistern. The old style single flush toilets use 12 litres per flush instead of 4.5 litres. Save 40,000 litres of water per year!

Saving water outdoors

Today Laverty’s Gap Weir provides up to 3.9 megalitres of water per day to the Mullumbimby area, servicing a population of approximately 3,043.

How do we get the water?

Byron Shire Echo October 23, 2007 19

The Weir

Water comes form Wilson’s Creek and flows down through a tunnel to the treatment plant.

Our water flows downhill from Laverty’s Gap Weir to water reservoirs. Here the water is stored for use by the town of Mullumbimby.

There are many simple things we can do in our gardens to save water, money and the environment. Here are a few easy ideas to practice when you’re pottering around outdoors. Use a pool cover to reduce evaporation and the need to regularly top up your pool’s water level. Without a cover, more than half the water in your pool can evaporate over a year. Pool covers can save between 11,000-30,000 litres of water per year. Try to keep the water level of your pool halfway up the skimmer opening. Overfilling the pool stops the skimmer working efficiently and wastes water. Install a rainwater tank to provide water for topping up the pool or spa and watering gardens.

Mullumbimby’s water supply

Paths, patios, driveways must never be hosed. Use a broom or rake instead. Some houses in town have tanks to collect rainwater. Water is precious. Don’t waste water, always use water wisely.

Drought management pipeline on schedule The Mullumbimby Drought Management Pipeline will connect Mullumbimby to the Rous Water supply ensuring that water can be supplied to the township when drought conditions are threatening Mullumbimby’s water supply from the Laverty’s Gap Weir. Mullumbimby has being traditionally independent of Rous Water with water being sourced from Laverty’s Gap Weir (an upper catchment system of the Wilson’s River) since 1939.The pipeline will only be used in drought conditions. Stage 1 complete The pipeline has been in planning since 2004 and has been laid in conjunction with road work upgrades to minimise the impact on local traffic flow. The pipeline is being constructed in stages with Stage 1 – Kings Creek Bridge to near Mann’s Lane now complete. Stage 2 of the pipeline – Kings Creek Bridge to Uncle Tom’s Pies will be completed by December 2007 with Stage 3 – the final connection, to be completed after negotiations with adjoining Mullumbimby land owners are finalised. This is planned for early 2008. Compensatory planting has taken place to offset the removal of trees along the roadside. Over 1,000 trees have been planted at Vallances Rd, Road, Mullumbimby, in collaboration with Southern Cross University. A range of wildlife nesting boxes are also planned to be installed over the next few months. Regular users of Mullumbimby Road are thanked for their understanding, patience and cooperation during construction of the pipeline. This advertising feature is presented by Byron Shire Council

Wash your car, or boat or your dog! by using a bucket on the lawn instead of using the hose. You can fertilise your lawn! – car shampoos use phosphates that are similar to many fertilisers. Consider installing a drip irrigation system. It will cut wastage by making sure the water goes only where you need it. Water your garden in the cool of the early morning or in the evening. This reduces water loss through evaporation. Water by hand with a can or trigger nozzle. It’s one of the best ways to make sure your plants get just the right amount of water. Keep all your kitchen scraps, lawn clippings and garden waste – they’re perfect for homemade compost which your soil will love and use lots of mulch. These add nutrients, help to retain moisture and reduce evaporation and keep the weeds at bay. Choose local native plant varieties and other water wise plants – they attract wildlife and mean less maintenance and watering. When planting new garden beds, group plants with similar watering needs together. Try not to cut lawns too short. When mowing, cut only the top third of the leaf area, leaving it three centimetres or higher. Reduce water loss even further by saving your lawn clippings to use as mulch on your lawn or garden. When deciding on a lawn type, go for slow growing, water saving varieties like Palmetto. They have deep roots for drought tolerance and they don’t need mowing as much as other varieties. Watering a level garden for longer, but less often, promotes deeper roots and hardier, healthier, drought tolerant plants. Remember to only use a hand-held hose or watering can or install drip irrigation. (About 12 millimetres of water an hour is enough for most sessions.)

Biolytix Septics Every once and while, someone invents something truly amazing. Dean Cameron, inventor of Biolytix technology was one of those someones. He noticed how efficiently a wet soil ecosystem broke down solid organic matter. After years of exhausting research, Biolytix developed an aerated waste water treatment system that has become a recognized leader in the field of onsite waste water treatment (septic systems). By learning from nature, and harnessing the ecosystems amazing power, Dean created a multi award winning system that can convert solid and liquid household waste into high quality irrigation water for lawns and gardens. The secret to the success of the Biolytix technology is pure exploitation. Worms and bacteria work silently for free, whereas other systems employ power hungry, noisy blowers and pumps. Maintenance is a simple yearly inspection, unlike the intensive maintenance requirements of some other systems. With an optional 20 year guarantee, no other product on the market can match the support that Biolytix offers. If you are building in the bush, and want to save every drop, buy a Biolytix and watch your garden grow all year round. Call Stuart on 0427 897 496 for a quote.

Primary students have gone mad about water Schools in the Byron Shire have been forming m.a.d Water Teams. Each Team carries out a basic water check up to review their school’s water use and calculate an approximate water consumption figure per student and teacher. With this understanding they identify a list of possible water conservation actions. The m.a.d Water Team is a new Rous Water education activity. It is a fun and practical way for students to promote and help the whole school community to ‘make a difference’ for wise water use at school. Students can take their water conservation knowledge and ideas home to form a m.a.d Home Water Team. The home team will find a fun and interactive tool on the Rous Water website to help them explore and take actions for water saving at home too. All the participating schools in the Rous Water supply region are in with a chance to win a small rainwater tank and installation. Byron Shire Council planned to involve and support the schools in Mullumbimby to be active participants in the Byron Shire Council’s Long Term Water Management Strategy for Mullumbimby. To meet this aim they asked Rous Water to make The m.a.d Water Team activity available to the schools in Mullumbimby too. For team reports, the home team tool, educational resources or Rous Water education programs, dive into Water School on the Rous Water website www.rouswater.nsw.gov.au

Syracuse is unarguably Sicilyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most beautiful city â&#x20AC;&#x201C; at least that part of it, the two square kilometres of its dreamy, historical heart, Ortygia Island, is. Not that its architectural splendour is what attracted those Arabs. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Or Palermo and Catania,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I add. The capital and this, Sicilyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s traditional crime hub, are full-blooded cities that would survive even if there were no camera clicking cash cow to support them. We decided to bolt from the playground of the glitterati yesterday, while eating ice cream cones in the Piazza April 9th. Of the everlasting wonders that Italy has given civilization, from legal systems, aqueducts and roads, to Michelangelo, Christopher Columbus and Galileo, to Puccini, Fellini and Sophia Loren, gelato is surely at the top of the list. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Numero uno,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Faerie Queene agreed, displaying her adroitness with the lingo as a ďŹ&#x201A;ow of stracciatella and

pistachio lapped over her ďŹ ngers. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like, so good for your waistline, Old Man.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Cat Carer (she should talk), had opted for the fragola and cocco and was more concerned with earwigging the passing conversations, there being no Italian speakers within cooâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ee. We pricked up our ears. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Ooh itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gorgeous...â&#x20AC;&#x2122; drooled an Australian woman over the trinket that her friend had paid through the nose for. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve shot more than a thousand pictures,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; from an unquiet American decked out in Bart Simpson shorts, LaCoste polo (ironed!), NY Yankees baseball cap and Nikes that I guessed would have cost more than the combined life savings of those refugees in Syracuse. His missus in denim, with a Dolce & Gabbana studded belt (Alan Bennett: I saw Calvin Klein in a London restaurant and felt compelled to go to his table and tell him â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m wearing your underpants.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;). â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Were there any emails?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; asked of her boyfriend by a Scots lass with a loaded ash tray and a large bottle of Heineken in front of her. Neither of them was old enough to remem-

ber the thrill of poste restante. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Of what?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Cat Carer, though not in the least interested, humoured me â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I was paying for the gelati. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;It was the address from which travelers could collect correspondence at post ofďŹ ces when they arrived in town. I still have some,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I wax nostalgic, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;in battered envelopes with blue and red par avion stripes on the border, that were waiting for me at Bordeaux, Cairoâ&#x20AC;Ś â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Her eyes glazed over. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re treasures,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I pleaded. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;What are you going to lovingly hold in your hand in thirty years time, a printed email? A downloaded text message?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;My generation is not as materialistic as yours, Old Man.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I can never tell when sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s being serious or exercising her rapidly developing talent for irony. Making me suspect the latter, she has spent today buying up big in Catania. Winter is fast approaching and there is a lot of last seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fashion going at crazy prices. And more beads, bangles and sunglasses than you can point a stick at, sold on street corners by African hawkers.

Articles The Dull and the Dutiful – Election 07

The bland leading the bland Michael McDonald In the great rush to seem as beige and inoffensive as possible, John Howard and Kevin Rudd put on almost identical faces to meet the faces that you meet, though Howard at times seems in search of a cubicle in which to expel something abhorrent – Peter Costello, perhaps. The media scrum is reduced to picking up gaffes on the current interest rate or rerunning the umpteenth video byte of Rudd applying a stethoscope to a dummy. All the while, as the ghost of the original Peter Garrett would have noted, as our beds are burning. The TV campaign advertising is predictable, too. We learn with shock horror that Julia Gillard was a member of the Socialist Forum, according to Costello a vestige of the – gasp! – Com-

munist Party. If she gets into power, we’ll all be driving crummy East German automobiles, smoking handrolled cigarettes and discussing Hegelian dialectic before putting Young Liberals up against the wall pock-marked by an AK-47. The joint motto of both major parties seems to be paraphrased from H L Mencken: ‘No-one went broke underestimating the intelligence of the Australian public.’ They may be right. Will we still be salivating over a tax cut as the last of the icecaps slides into the sea? Locally, in our electorate of Richmond, Labor candidate Justine Elliot and Nationals candidate Sue Page seem pretty focussed on regurgitating the party line – we don’t intend to run much of it, though letters to

the editor with a bit of intellectual content would be appreciated. The main focus of candidates will be on the Tweed, a shifting demographic belying its reputation as a Nationals stronghold. Gladhanding national and state government ministers will be ﬂown in to bolster candidates. Elliot has a better margin (1.4%) than when she was elected, thanks to picking up Nimbin in a boundary redistribution, but it will still be a close race. More than ever, the electorate is going to be informed through the internet. Howard’s minders have discovered YouTube, a medium more suited to parody than sincere PM messages. If only John could come up with a good trick involving Mentos and Diet Coke – search that on YouTube if you haven’t already, some of the experiments are brilliant. The website FederalElection is a good one stop shop to find local candidates’ home pages – see www.federalelection.com.au/electorates/richmond/index.asp for links to Justine Elliot, Sue Page, Giovanni Ebono (Greens), and Scott Sledge (Democrats). According to the website, climate change is one of the most hotly debated topics.

Same sex, but not the same rights The Northern Rivers Community Legal Centre (NRCLC) has called upon all parties to conﬁrm their commitment to ending discrimination against same sex families. ‘Every state in Australia has now passed legislation giving equal rights to same sex couples,’ says Trish Mundy, solicitor at the Legal Centre. ‘Reform of federal laws that discriminate against same sex families is long overdue. The recent Galaxy survey shows that the general public overwhelmingly supports same sex equality, so federal parliament is now lagging behind community standards. ‘The Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission Report “Same Sex Entitlements” published in June recommended changes

to federal legislation in areas such as taxation, Centrelink pensions and beneﬁts and Commonwealth superannuation. We welcomed the Democrats tabling of legislation prior to the last sitting of Parliament, which implemented the recommendations of this report by removing or amending all federal laws which encourage or allow discrimination.We also welcomed the parliamentary inquiry initiated by the Democrats in September. ‘NRCLC provided a submission to this Parliamentary Inquiry highlighting the ongoing unfairness experienced by lesbian and gay partners and their children. The Inquiry quoted from our submission, noting that our long term work with the rural lesbian and gay community identiﬁed discrimi-

nation as a major problem. Issues such as a lack of access to the Family Court, Medicare safety net, veterans’ widows pension and tax breaks for families are among a number of areas where gay families are disadvantaged. ‘As one of our clients says, “Like everyone else, my family is special to me, so I guess I don’t understand why the politicians have such a problem with just making us equal.” ‘Our lesbian and gay clients are looking forward to the day when they will have equal rights under federal laws. The ALP, Democrats and Greens have committed to implementing the ﬁndings of the HREOC Report. It is time for all parties to state their position on this important area of law reform.’

Local ‘think tank’ targets Howard A stingray, a local philanthropist and a feisty new Byron Bay Institute are joining jorces to dislodge John Howard. And it’s all thanks to that other Byron Bay institution: the daily stroll or swim at Main Beach. The Byron Bay Institute, a local think tank founded by local swimmer, Ken Porter, is launching a national anti-Liberal advertising blitz funded by property magnate and beach walker Trevor King. Advertisements directing readers to the institute website have appeared in The Sydney Morning Herald. ‘Byron Bay is the ﬁrst to see the light, but the rest of Australia soon gets it,’ said Mr Porter, a member of the Sting Rays who swim the bay each day. We want to shed some light on damage John Howard done to Australia. ‘I was discussing politics at the Beach Hotel with the swimmers over coffee. ‘John Howard has mastered the art of spin so much, marshaled by con-

servative journalist commentators; I got so offended by his fraudulent ideas about how the Liberals have improved the economy, when actually the government has got bugger all to do with interest rates.’ Porter noticed how commentator Gerard Henderson’s ideas got more credence by forming the rightwing think tank, The Sydney Institute. So he decided it was time for a Byron Institute, to provide independent critique from a left-wing perspective. A few weeks ago, Porter met up with Mullumbimbyborn success story, Trevor King, after each had completed their morning recreation, inspiring the former owner of Lord Byron Resort to fund adverts launching the think tank’s website in The Sydney Morning Herald and The Australian. ‘There is a Melbourne Institute, and a Lowy Institute, a Sydney Institute, so it’s great that Byron now has one,’ said Mr King. The former Ewingdale

farmer is passionately opposed to John Howard’s entry into the Iraq war, and the media’s avoidance of Iraqi casualties. ‘The leftwing think tank will provide independent critique of the government throughout the election campaign, particularly targeting Howard’s commentators and their manipulations of facts and words. But it’s not a Labor party mouth piece. ‘Labor was once Left, but is not necessarily so now. We incorporate Greens and Democrats information. ‘I will be prepared to criticise Kevin Rudd, if he gets in.’ The Byron Bay Institute is looking for writers interested in investigating the federal government’s funding of health services, as well as researched articles examining what it sees as the federal government spin that the Liberal government has created a strong economy with low interest rates.

TONI&GUY are fashion interpreters, studying the most upand-coming fashion designs and creating hairstyles that complement the colours and shapes of the latest styles. In the salon environment these hairstyles are adapted to suit and complement the needs of every client. ‘For spring/summer we like this sexy bob. Bobs are now worn understated with

strong outlines and seamless layers creating a looser style that has the ability to be a wash and wear look.

Articles George Monbiot looks with alarm at research on the melt rate of ice sheets

Global meltdown could come suddenly

eading a scientific paper on the train this weekend, I found, to my amazement, that my hands were shaking. This has never happened to me before, but nor have I ever read anything like it. Published by a team led by James Hansen at NASA, it suggests that the grim reports issued by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change could be absurdly optimistic(1). The IPCC predicts that sea levels could rise by as much as 59cm this century(2). Hansen’s paper argues that the slow melting of ice sheets the panel expects doesn’t fit the data. The geological record suggests that ice at the poles does not melt in a gradual and linear fashion, but flips suddenly from one state to another. When temperatures increased to 2-3 degrees above today’s level 3.5 million years ago, sea levels rose not by 59 centimetres but by 25 metres.The ice responded immediately to changes in temperature(3). We now have a pretty good idea of why ice sheets collapse. The buttresses that prevent them from sliding into the sea break up; meltwater trickles down to their base, causing them suddenly to slip; and pools of water form on the surface, making the ice darker so that it absorbs more heat. These processes are already taking place in Greenland and West Antarctica. Rather than taking thousands of years to melt, as the IPCC predicts, Hansen and his team find it ‘implausible’ that the expected warming before 2100 ‘would permit a West Antarctic ice sheet of present size to survive even for a century’. As well as drowning most of the world’s centres of population, a sudden disintegration could lead to much higher rises in global temperature, because less ice means less heat reflected back into space. The new paper suggests that the temperature could therefore be twice as sensitive to rising greenhouse gases than the IPCC assumes. ‘Civilisation developed,’ Hansen writes, ‘during a period of unusual climate stability, the Holocene, now almost 12,000 years in duration. That period is about to end.’(4) I looked up from the paper, almost expecting to see crowds stampeding through the streets. I saw people chatting outside a riverside pub. The other passengers on the train snoozed over their newspapers or

played on their mobile phones. Unaware of the causes of our good fortune, blissfully detached from their likely termination, we drift into catastrophe.

r we are led there. A good source tells me that the British government is well aware that its target for cutting carbon emissions – 60% by 2050 – is too little, too late, but that it will go no further for one reason: it fears losing the support of the Confederation of British Industry. Why this body is allowed to keep holding a gun to our heads has never been explained, but [British PM] Gordon Brown has just appointed Digby Jones, its former director-general, as a minister in the department responsible for energy policy. I don’t remember voting for him. There could be no clearer signal that the public interest is being drowned by corporate power. The government’s energy program, partly as a result, is characterised by a complete absence of vision. You can see this most clearly when you examine its plans for renewables. The EU has set a target for 20% of all energy in the member states to come from renewable sources by 2020. This in itself is pathetic. But the government refuses to adopt it(5): instead it proposes that 20% of our electricity (just part of our total energy use) should come from renewable power by that date. Even this

is not a target, just an ‘aspiration’, and it is on course to miss it. Worse still, it has no idea what happens after that. Last week I asked whether it has commissioned any research to discover how much more electricity we could generate from renewable sources. It has not(6). It’s a critical question, whose answer – if its results were applied globally – could determine whether or not the planetary ‘albedo ﬂip’ that Hansen predicts takes place. There has been remarkably little investigation of this issue. Until recently I guessed that the maximum contribution from renewables would be something like 50%: beyond that point the difﬁculties of storing electricity and balancing the grid could become overwhelming. But three papers now suggest that we could go much further. Last year, the German government published a study of the effects of linking the electricity networks of all the countries in Europe and connecting them to North Africa and Iceland with high voltage direct current cables(7). This would open up a much greater variety of renewable power sources. Every country in the network would then be able to rely on stable and predictable supplies from elsewhere: hydroelectricity in Scandanavia and the Alps, geothermal energy in Iceland and vast solar thermal farms in the Sahara. By spreading the

demand across a much wider network, it suggests that 80% of Europe’s electricity could be produced from renewable power without any greater risk of blackouts or ﬂickers. At about the same time, Mark Barrett at University College London published a preliminary study looking mainly at ways of altering the pattern of demand for electricity to match the variable supply from wind and waves and tidal power(8). At about twice the current price, he found that we might be able to produce as much as 95% of our electricity from renewable sources without causing interruptions in the power supply.

ow a new study by the Centre for Alternative Technology takes this even further(9). It is remarkable in two respects: it suggests that by 2027 we could produce 100% of our electricity without the use of fossil fuels or nuclear power, and that we could do so while almost tripling its supply: our heating systems (using electricity to drive heat pumps) and our transport systems could be mostly powered by it. It relies on a great expansion of electricity storage: building new hydroelectric reservoirs into which water can be pumped when electricity is abundant, constructing giant vanadium ﬂow batteries and linking electric cars up to the grid when they are parked, using their batteries to meet

ﬂuctuations in demand. It contains some optimistic technical assumptions, but also a very pessimistic one: that the UK relies entirely on its own energy supplies. If the German proposal were to be combined with these ideas, we could begin to see how we might reliably move towards a world without fossil fuels. If Hansen is correct, to avert the meltdown that brings the Holocene to an end we require a response on this scale: a sort of political ‘albedo ﬂip’.The government must immediately commission studies to discover how much of our energy could be produced without fossil fuels, set that as its target then turn the economy round to meet it. But a power shift like this cannot take place without a power shift of another kind: we need a government which fears planetary meltdown more than it fears the Confederation of British Industry.

Dyson Struck Down Earlier this year, Mia Dyson emerged from her home based recording studio triumphant. For the third time in a row she had successfully written, performed and co-produced her album. Struck Down, is her latest, and most impressive creation to date.

Dyson is making her mark as a recording artist to be reckoned with. She puts a lot of her success to being handson from the get go. ‘We recorded the same way as the ﬁrst two albums. We hired all the equipment and set up a makeshift studio. We hired two cottages in Lorne – so we could be away from the city.’ Mia admitted to the clean country air seeping into her sound. ‘I have never recorded an album in the city. There is a different atmosphere where we are working. I think it even translates more so on this album. It’s quite loose and raw, its not very polished and that’s been a conscious decision. When we are recording we are really looking for those passionate performances.’ In creating the songs for her

‘I didn’t know what I was going to create when I ﬁrst set out, but I can say that there are certain songs on this album that are my best work. I’d probably say the title track, Struck Down, With The Blue Sky and Heavy and Never Felt Young – I don’t want to discount the other songs, but those songs are a real step forward for me as a song writer and regardless how the others work for the listener, for me as a writer I really feel like I made some creative progress. This album is much less genre based and more song based and I have spent a lot of time working on lyrics and melodies.’

‘The vocals is the one thing, and even though we did record them live, it was a guide vocal, I try them in many different ways, and particularly in the second record, I did so many different vocal takes trying to get it right. The emotive pull is certainly on this record. Over the course of working the album, so much will change, and the ﬁnal result is only one option, I think that is the great thing about music – there are so many possibilities and sometimes the hardest thing is making a decision about just what it is going to be.’ Mia Dyson launches Struck Down at the Hotel Great Northern on Thursday.

‘I don’t tend to put too much on any one track but I do try to do lots of different things and keep on working at it. Sometimes the song or the arrangement is a riddle, and you have to ﬁnd that right instrument that clinches the song, like on Never Feel Young we tried everything, and in the end I got in Jodi Moore from Dirty Lucy on viola and it just came together. Each song has its own long journey from writing to putting out the album. You might like it when you write, but it’s not like when you demo it and then some songs go from being your favourites to not being what you wanted. Maybe you are sick of it and you don’t have the same fresh ears. You never have this moment when the whole record is ﬁnished and go that’s just great, there are only little

Mandy Nolan The Soapbox

Driving to a gig in Lismore last night I developed the ultimate roadside personality test for the modern girl. All you need is one woman, alone in her car on one dark night... oh, and one flat tyre. At about 7.15pm last night my tyre decided to let itself go. When I first heard the thumping under the bonnet I turned the radio up. When it got to the point that not even hardcore thrash would cover the racket, I decided to pull over. Oh my god. I’m getting images of Fiona Lees and hoping no deranged drug trafficker decides to do any Clunes based Wolf Creek re-enactments. I was so not in the mood to

be chained to a wall in an industrial shed and tortured. For god’s sake I was wearing my best cashmere sweater. Prospective serial killers better wash their grubby mitts or else they’ll owe me a new cardie. Back to the deﬂated rubber. For a minute I just sat in the car. I contemplated having a bit of a cry. Tantrums seem a bit pointless alone. (As does tantra. Nothing like an 8 hour wank.) As I lay kicking my heels in the gravel screaming at a dark moon about the injustice of my predicament I came up with the test. If you are travelling alone and blow a tyre do you (a) get out the jack and change it yourself (b) call your husband and demand he drive 30ks in his jim jams to deal with it (c) call the NRMA or (d) ﬂag down a strapping young lad. If you answer (a) you win. You are self-reliant. Those who answer (b) are chronically dependent and manipulative and will avoid all situations where they are forced to take action. The (c)s tend to be the types that colour within the lines. Like Rapunzel, they

patiently wait to be rescued by their roadside prince. Those who answer (d) are ﬂagrant opportunist sluts, who declare feminist values as long as they don’t have to get their hands dirty. ‘Women can do anything – except put the bin out.’ Guess which one I am? I phoned my husband. He was home with the three kids and out of petrol. So I got him to phone the NRMA. The NRMA refused to come because the location was too vague. Vague! Six foot blonde standup comedian in skinny jeans and skin tight cowgirl top on her way to gig at Cock and Bull Tent at Lismore Show kicking a gold 2002 Ford Laser somewhere on the Lismore Road. It wasn’t looking good. Pretty soon they’d be announcing me on stage and I’d be standing forlornly 20ks from nowhere performing standup in a two cow paddock. Unable to ﬁnd a torch I decided to employ some of the principles of The Secret. Jesus, this was the perfect opportunity to see exactly what I could create. I stood by the car

and spent about 20 minutes manifesting an inﬂated tyre. ‘Puff puff puff yourself up’ I chanted. Nothing happened. (But I did pop a button on my shirt). You can’t change a tyre from within. Suddenly I was blinded by brilliant light. A gleaming white stead pulled in and a handsome young knight wearing short shorts and sock protectors dismounted. At last, my Prince had come! Within ﬁve minutes Ben, who I discovered works for Steve Garrett Fencing in Bangalow had replaced my wheel. All the while I stood by cooing encouragement ‘That’s great... you’re so strong!’ ‘Wow you really know what you are doing – I bet a big boy like you doesn’t even need to use a jack!’ At 8.30pm I was on stage. The powerful loud mouthed satirical assassin who can’t even change her own fricking tyre. Feminist Fraud saved by a bit of old fashioned roadside chivalry. Thanks! My new years resolution is to achieve adequate competence with my tyre iron so as to loosen my own nuts.

you on a sensual journey into deep bassy soul-scapes and some heavy throbbing dub. The Witness have been chosen to play Peats Ridge Festival and Exodus Live this summer. Following up is the super crafty DJ Sal who will play more tasty deep tunes until Fyah Walk heat the stage. Born at Exodus festival in 2007 this band of noise and ideas, bring together the vocal and song-writing talents of Simon Jerrems backed by a unique combination of some of the Coast’s best reggae musicians. Featuring core members of Freaky Lou, Dubshack and the Lion I band, Fyah Walk have an original sound and an energetic live show.

If you love fiery flamenco then The Saruzu Quartet are the ensemble for you. Paul Bodington of Brisbane’s ABC said of them: ‘they are intuitive, innovative and they generate a musical energy that leaps from the speakers, gently massaging your mind one moment and seconds later lifting you away to dizzy heights of excitement.’ You’ll want to stamp your feet, grit your teeth and flash your pins in this exhilarating return to the Paris cafe’s of the 1920’s. They play at The Tweed River Art Gallery on Friday 2 November. Tix are $25 at the door. 8pm. Seats can be secured by emailling kupromo@bigpond.net.au

Would you like to try some LSD. It’s legal, and it’s life changing. LSD stands for Luscious Soul and Dub and this Friday it features two of the shire’s most exciting new bands, The Witness and Fyah Walk. The night kicks off at Coorabell Hall at 8pm with tunes by DJ Mista Micha who warm the seat for The Witness, a 7-piece soul-dub outﬁt that features well known local and international musicians such as Carla Versitano on vocals, Ben Karsay on Drums, Khari Simmons on Bass, Bryson on Mulholland on keys, Stuart Currie on Trombone, Tim Corchran on guitar and James Cox on percussion.

PULLING BILLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S STRINGS WITH A TRIO OF STRINGS Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss one of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most unique songwriters, Bill Callahan, when he plays the Bangalow A&I Hall on Thursday 1 November. Bill was with Smog who played here last year, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also the partner of Joanna Newsom and Susie from Ku Promotions has raved â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I saw him on his last Aussie tour and was totally blown away... just love him.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Bill Callahan graced fans with his EP, Woke on a Whaleheart earlier this year. This release signiďŹ es a new phase for Callahan as he moves from experimental country to a funk and western sound

mixed with gospel, relying on formal structure and texture. Funky baselines and raggedy ďŹ ddle sounds focus rhythm on being the forefront of his music. This new sound employs all his strengths as a writer of lyrics and music and stretches the canvas of his colourful if sparsely arranged tapestry. Tickets are $25 on sale from Barebones and All Music & Vision now, or www.oztix. com.au

Television Guide 1. Paz Vega stars in the Spanish drama Sex and Lucia (SBS, Friday, 10.55pm), a moody, shape-shifting alien of a movie that rewards close attention, and not just because of Ms Vega. 2. Pitch Black (Prime, Saturday night, 12.30am) is a cut-above the usual SFX SF. It was ďŹ nanced in the US and made in Queensland. The movie screening immediately before, Darkness (10.30pm) is a Spanish horror ďŹ&#x201A;ick, long on atmosphere, short on SFX, and none the worse for that. 3. Pick of the week has to be the hilarious zombie comedy (yes, it is a genre), Shaun of the Dead (Ten, Sunday, 10.20pm). Simon Pegg does with corpses what he later did with policemen in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hot Fuzzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. It is to be hoped that his career will soon encompass campaigning politicians.

The band is known for weaving a fresh approach into her music by

You ﬁrst met him on Australian Idol. It’s something he’s used as a bit of a springboard to launch his career, and I have to say he’s one of the only truly interesting acts that have ever pushed through. Bobby Flynn and the Omega 3 have mesmerised audiences with their unique brand of alternate folk/pop/ jazz, and left no doubt in anyone’s mind about their collective talent, and Flynn’s incredible vocal ability. Their live performances create an intimate ambience, which takes the audience on a musical and visual journey. Bobby Flynn the Omega 3 are consummate live performers, and all takes place in front of a transcendent VJ backdrop. They play the Hotel Great Northern on Saturday.

ON YOUR MARK, GET SET, GLO! Adventures in RhythmLand is legendary percussionist’s Greg Sheehan’s dance project who play this month at Glo Dance Dance in Uki along with a deep dance set from DJ Pulse. Adventures in RhythmLand began with Si Fixion (The Bird) sampling a stack of Greg’s old world music records. These samples and loops formed the map for a musical and rhythmical journey that travels around the globe. The journey features Greg’s phenonomal playing of electric bass, electronic stomp box, gongs and a host of other world percussion. The final part of the mix is drums and percussion from Matt Ledgar (Wild Marmalade). The result is fresh dance music from this very talented and experienced trio. Greg Sheehan is one of Australia’s premier and most innovative percussionists, widely regarded internationally as a leader in his field. As a performer, he is significantly represented in the last three decades of Australian contemporary music as both a live band member and studio musician on hundreds of recordings. From such

till 12 midnight. It is a 15 years and above event and is drug and alcohol free.

The workshops are coordinated by Greg B and also by Community Connections

Wednesday October 31 is Halloween. Traditionally it’s the day where you dress up in something a bit spooky and make a pest of yourself by going door to door begging for sugar. I think the real appeal of Halloween is the free reign to unleash your dark side. To dress up in something inappropriate and have a shot at spooking your neighbours. This year Why Not Restaurant’s ever popular standup comedy open mike falls on Halloween, and it’s the perfect opportunity to get in touch for comics to try their scariest gags! Standup comedy is about taking risks – about admitting to faults and struggles that we are often ashamed of. In fessing up we often discover that we have a lot more in common with each other through our ﬂaws and failures then we do in our ﬂourishes! For over a decade I have been drawing on my innermost

thoughts and translating them into standup comedy. It’s always a challenge, most comedians travel and work rooms in metropolitan areas so you can basically do the same set every night for 5 years without much of a change. It’s not the same for me. I often have the same people sitting in the audience, so I am always faced with having to re-invent old ideas, test drive new material and trust in the gods by improvising on current topics and themes. In a way its a chance to constantly work new material – but you have to be careful, I feel like there’s not much an audience doesn’t know about me! Except for this stuff! At the next Why Not I am going to take advantage of the fact that it’s Halloween to delve into the deeper and more twisted material – and I am encouraging the other comics to explore the strange! This is the material that I have always thought was too edgy to run, but you know what, I’m going to

wear a wig and give it a go. I may even keep my clothes on! Now isn’t that a spooky and unusual thought! I will be the MC for Why Not Standup on Wednesday 31 October. Audience members are encouraged to embrace the theme and come in their freakiest outﬁts. If not, we suggest they just think dark thoughts. You will be howling with laughter!!! Bookings are essential. $30 for a meal and the show. Meals from 6.30pm with show at 8pm. For performance enquiries: 6684 3443 and show bookings: 6680 7994.

DANCE ARABIAN NIGHTS The Ocean Shores Community Centre comes alive with Arabian Nights, an evening of Middle Eastern Music and Dance. Featuring Cleis Pearce on violin, Guy Madigan and Greg Sheehan on percussion and Yuval Ashkar on oud, percussion and vocals, this is a great night with amazing music and gorgeous bellydancers.

encourage in the workshops and try to develop a more profound creative process as opposed to gangsta-rap style lyrics that revolve around a limited misogynistic message of violence that is pushed by some quarters of the commercial music industry. The lineup features a number of rockin female acts, Sista Gurl, Native Instincts and Lady Biz. Combined with the other artists this show is a great opportunity to see acts you would not usually see in this area as well as helping to support a group of people who are helping underprivileged youth learn creative skills and to interact with community in this region as well as in more remote regions of Australia. Crankfest Xtreme is the region’s biggest youth festival, make sure your kids, or if you are a youth reading this, check it out. For more info call Nadine on 6621 5776 or 0428 486 880.

Tickets are $15/12 at the door. Check the website for more information: www. ashkarmusicanddance.com

ART THE BEST OF THE CAPE

STANDUP COMEDY PEOPLE ARE STRANGE

and are currently running in the Northern Rivers region and are based around hip-hop culture including break-dance, rap grafﬁti art and DJ and MC’ing and will teach technical, recording and performance skills as well as business aspects of the music industry. This is a program that involves follow up workshops that develop the participant’s skills over a period of time and it is hoped that will help the youth involved to learn skills and the beneﬁts of working with others in a creative process within the community and potentially develop career paths for themselves. Beyond Empathy and Community Connections are providing the logistics for the workshops. Hip-hop is a movement that youth relate and identify with and is diverse and creative; look at some break-dancing or the poetry and political comment of some hip-hop artists in Australia today. It is this sort of creative expression we

The Cape Gallery offered up a line of poetry, ‘...and the brightness begins,’ from the greek poet Pindar to seven of their artists to see what they might make of it. Not surprisingly, considering the calibre of the participating artists, the results are as beautiful as they are broadranging in approach, subject matter and palette. Yet the common starting point and it’s suggestiveness of light and its necessary companion darkness, has uniﬁed the works with a palpable luminosity. With paintings contributed by Rodney Black, Cornelia Burless, Michelle Dawson, Stephen Phibbs, Robyn Sweaney, Emma Walker (Courtesy of Tim Olsen Gallery) and Charly Wrencher, it is a show not to be missed. The show opens at The Cape Gallery on Friday. Located at, 2 Lawson Street, Byron Bay. Ph 66857659. 6pm.

SCULPTURE IN THE HOUSE This Saturday and Sunday Suvira McDonald opens his home studio to invite the public to view his work. Its an exciting opportunity to see where the artist creates his forms and where he draws his inspiration. The artist’s signature ceramic landscapes are sought after by collectors from around Australia and abroad, and this year gained him a ﬁnalist spot in the prestigious Waterhouse Natural History Art Prize. Produced as ceramic panels and mounted on perspex, these exquisite images are inspired by the Australian land. An accomplished potter, Suvira makes tableware inﬂuenced by oriental glazes and styles. These lustrous platters, bowls, vases, teapots and mugs are ideal for gifts. His sculptural works range from elegant steel structures to rugged clay and wood totems – many of which are designed to withstand outdoor display. During the weekend of the Open Studio, visitors will have the chance to acquire Suvira’s distinctive works at studio prices. Hours are from 9 am to 4 pm. The studio is located at 300 Mafeking Road, (off Federal

Road), 30 minutes from Byron Bay and Lismore. For more information call 6684 9194, or download a map from his website at www. suviramcdonald.com

PRETTY AS A PICCINNI There is something unnerving about Patricia Piccinnis work. Her work has an eery quality that more closely resembles another species rather than simple sculpture. Patricia Piccinini looks at the present, what is happening today, rather than the future. Our world turns very fast – space travel, cyborgs, mobile phones, genetic engineering. The unfathomable has turned into the everyday, and what we once dreamed of is happening now. Piccinini is not about making predictions as much as responding to stuff that

www.echo.net.au

aalready exists. Piccinini iinvestigates the place where sscience is presently taking us and questions our role u aas caring and nurturing beings. The artist wants us to care, nurture and look after what humankind creates. Piccinini’s creatures need your love! There is often double meaning in the works; the two sides of the argument that each work expresses. Importantly, the exhibition is about doubling up on the love. Piccinini investigates the place where science has, and is, taking us, and questions our role as compassionate and warm-hearted beings. The artist wants us to care, nurture and look after what humankind creates. Her work is currently on show at the Lismore Regional Gallery.

ONE PIECE AT ART PIECE GALLERY Art Piece Gallery in Mullumbimby presents: ‘One Piece’, an exhibition of ceramics celebrating the region’s wealth of exceptional ceramicists and the strength of the work being produced here. ‘Sculptural ceramic pieces can easily find a home in today’s modern living spaces,’ says Nadine Abensur, director of Art Piece Gallery. ‘Contemporary architectural design practices leave less wall space for traditional hanging art and this has led to a new wave of interest in ceramics and three dimensional interior decoration. With the One Piece exhibition I have selected one piece of work each from ten of the area’s most outstanding ceramicists.’ Ceramic creations by artists including John Mawhinney, Áine, Tamasin Pepper and Garth Lena will sit alongside each other. The result is a diverse collection of stunning contemporary pieces which also reflects an incredible range of cultural influences and ceramic traditions. ‘One Piece’ runs until Friday. All enquiries should be directed to Nadine Abensur, Gallery Director at nadine@ artpiecegallery.com.au or 6684 3446.

#&"54 / #014 > A WELL DESERVED WIN! BEST MUSIC OFFERING 2007 Hundreds of industry professionals and DJs converged on Sydney for the two-day Bar Show at Darling Harbour and Gala Awards night at the Hilton Hotel Ballroom to recognize the best venues, operators and bar hospitality staff in the country. Elsewhere, the sole Gold Coast nominee at the 7th Annual Bar Awards was crowned with offering the Best Music in Australia. Elsewhere had secured highly coveted nominations in three categories – Operator of the Year (Benny Roney), Bartender of the Year (Mark Walker) and Best Music Offering. Both Benny and Mark are to be congratulated for their ﬁne nominations alongside the country’s best and while they missed out on a win, their efforts, skill, passion and commitment to what they do are highly valued and respected around the country, and certainly on the Gold Coast. Elsewhere has never tried to earn its music quality kudos through an entourage of big ticket internationals, but rather the backbone of the Elsewhere music experience is steadily built on a music policy that focuses on the ability and experience of its local resident DJs. This team is headed up by Audun (Electronic Boogie

Show; Friday nights), Ben Abrahams (Motion Theory; Saturday nights) and Giv (Royale; Sunday nights). These popular spinners are joined on rotation by Thomas J, Katharine, DJKhris, Chef, Gareth D, Casey Steele, DJ Pete, Rhys Llewellyn, Snosh and Byron’s Strawberry Syme, and it is these DJs who are to be congratulated for the musical direction and foresight of Elsewhere. Of course, Elsewhere DJs are often joined by some of the ﬁnest talent around Australia and indeed the world; however it rests on the shoulders of the venue’s residents to maintain the highest standard of music deserving of the Elsewhere music lovers and it is this balance of education and enjoyment that has prevailed for four years. I caught DJ Strawberry Syme and was able to distract him from his busy schedule to answer a few quezzies... Q: What is your favorite experience at Elsewhere? A: Fancy dress night, I was Disco-Spew from the Simpsons and rocked it although I couldn’t see through my afro wig. Q: As one of the named inspirational DJs at Elsewhere what is important to you when playing there? A: To connect with the

dance floor as well as everyone in the club. It’s most important to create a high energy dance floor throughout my set. Q: Your latest favorite track/producer? A: Idiots by Audio Jack Q.How do you feel about the win of the award? A. I take my hat off to Benny and Simone who created Elsewhere and thank them for my 3-year residency ... many thanks to Ben Abrahams for putting up with me. Q. When are you playing next? A. November 24 Q. Expression of the week? A. ruckn fockn. Elsewhere returned from Sydney, trophy in hand and modesty in check, to continue to provide the award-winning standard of music and overall supreme nightclub experience to the Gold Coast. ‘We are humbled to have been nominated amongst such an amazing group of venues and operators, and would like to very sincerely thank each person who has ever been a part of Elsewhere – either as a guest or staff member – everyone who nominated us, every judge who made the final decision.’

Electric Slide The Electric Slide is a four wall line dance, so it’s more noted for its cultish resonances than a sense of personal intimacy. Dancer Ric Silver (http://the-electricslide.com/) created it in 1976 for the reopening of Vamps Disco in New York. It was choreographed to the international hit song Electric Boogie, written by Bunny Wailer for Marcia Griffiths. It even gets a mention in ‘Family Business’ by Kanye West.

BLACK SHEEP Still terrified of sheep despite all the therapy, Henry Oldfield returns to his family’s farm to sell out to his older brother Angus, unaware that something baaaad is going on: Angus’ reckless genetic engineering program. When a pair of inept animal activists release a mutant lamb from Angus’ laboratory, thousands of sheep are turned into bloodthirsty predators. Henry finds himself stranded on the farm with his childhood mate Tucker, and activist girl Experience, trying to defend themselves from a killer were-sheep. Henry’s worst nightmare has come to life.

Battling their way to safety the intrepid trio discover there’s worse to come: one bite from an infected sheep seems to have an alarming effect on those bitten... With Angus acting suspiciously sheepish, a delegation of international investors gathering at the homestead and a ravenous ﬂock descending from the hills, Henry must ﬁnd the farmer within to wrest control of the farm from his monstrous brother, defeat an ovine invasion and save New Zealand from the violence of the lambs.

FORBIDDEN LIES Forbidden Lies is a documentary that delves into the story behind Norma Khouri’s book about honour killings in Jordan. In 2001 Norma Khouri wrote a non-ﬁction book titled Forbidden Love. It became an Australian best seller, was published in 15 countries and translated into numerous languages. The book supposedly detailed the murder of a friend in Jordan – killed because she fell in love with a Christian. The book drew widespread attention to a phenomenon called ‘honour killings’. But in 2004 a Sydney Morning Herald journalist wrote an expose revealing that the book was full of holes and inaccuracies. Was it a factual story or the greatest literary hoax? This ﬁlm is a head-spinning, brain-pumping avalanche of information but makes one thing clear: it’s your call. Lounge Cinema

Vianne Rocher: Oh, I see. Well, it’s been 15 years since the war... Guillaume Blerot: No, not that war. Monsieur Audel was killed on the 12th January 1917. It was quite a blow to Mme Audel.

Victoria Cosford At the end of a dinner party recently a block of chocolate was brought out to have with coffee: it was a new variety in the popular Lindt line and it was Chilli Chocolate, and no surer indication that this particular variety had entered mainstream chocolate culture (unless you count TimTams... ) I ate a square and to be sure there was that exciting little hit at the end once the smooth dark chocolate had dissolved on my tongue â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a patch on the SeatonďŹ re Chilli Chocolate I had tasted a week beforehand. I had met its creator at the recent Taste of Byron event into which attempts had been made to weave a chilli festival of sorts. Lynne Seaton Anderson, a glamorous woman behind large sunglasses, was presiding over her stall of chilli products and told me that the best chilli festival was the Sawtell one, several months previously. Nonetheless there she was, having journeyed down from Murphyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Creek in south east Queensland, recounting the trip she had made to Europe to taste chocolate, and speciďŹ cally chilli chocolate. Which sounded like a fairly glamorous research-and-development exercise to me! Murphyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Creek is roughly near Toowoomba, and it is on the creek ďŹ&#x201A;ats of a place evocatively named Lazy Acres where Lynne organically grows the tiny birdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eye chillies sometimes referred to as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;red devilsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. She started growing them to sell fresh to markets in 1998, until black frost wiped out the crop. With what remained, Lynne started to make sauces, chutneys, cordials and jams; cooking had been in her blood since a family cafe in Goodooga, NSW, in 1964, not to mention thirty years of feeding three sons. And so she began the circuit of farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; markets and food festivals, setting up stalls to sell her chilli-based products. At a certain point one of her sons, Jason, decided to abandon his career in marketing for global ďŹ rms and become her manager; in addition Lynne was beginning to experiment with making chocolate and blending it with the chillies. There are still people who baulk at the notion of chilli plus chocolate â&#x20AC;&#x201C; my partner is one (he calls it a travesty) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but in fact it is nothing new. The combination has been popular in South America and Mexico since the Mayans and Aztecs; in the book (then the ďŹ lm) Chocolat by Joanne Harris the character Vianne who runs a chocolate shop in a small French village puts a little chilli in her chocolates, an ancient Mayan recipe passed down from her grandmother. A well-known Mexican sauce is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;moleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, whose most famous recipe is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;mole poblanoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, an exceedingly rich dish containing several types of chillies, spices and nuts, and ďŹ&#x201A;avoured with a bitter hint of chocolate â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it is traditionally served with turkey. In the early 1500s, Montezuma drank chocolate every day in his palace in Mexico City and he usually added red chilli to it. Chilli ampliďŹ es and enriches the taste of chocolate; it provides another dimension, a layer of warmth, a tiny after-shock, a seam of spiciness to slice through the sensuality of the chocolate. After ďŹ ve years of experimenting, Lynne decided she was serious enough about it to begin professional studies; three years later and That Trip to Europe to see what other chocolatiers were doing, especially with chilli, have culminated in the SeatonďŹ re Chilli Chocolate she is now producing for global export. Lynne uses both milk (36.1% cocoa) and dark (57% cocoa) Belgian couverture chocolate and she blends it with the chillies she grows chemical-free, the result being two types, the Mild and the Wild. Beautifully packaged, they are also absolutely divine â&#x20AC;&#x201C; moreover, their exquisite richness and complexity renders them the sort of chocolate Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been searching for all my life, the type of which you only need one or perhaps two squares to satisfy your chocolate urge (and this from a woman customarily obliged to consume an entire Family Block before satisfaction has struck). Lynne says that she never gets sick of chocolate and that she eats it every day (the Mild from 9am to 5pm and the Wild, in her words, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;from cocktail hour onwardsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;), Below is her recipe for Hot Chilli Chocolate; for stockists of her product and further information, the website is www.seatonďŹ re.com HOT CHILLI CHOCOLATE Pour hot milk over two blocks of either MILD or WILD chilli chocolate. Stir and then grate one block over the top to make the most amazing hot chocolate ever!

closeness, creative activities and spiritual practices could all be strong sources of support and joy this week. GEMINI: When your ruling planet Mercuryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s retrograde it can be frustrating if you work against it â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but easier this week if you use the cycle when the force isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t with you for research and preparation, so when things move forward again youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re so ready to roll.

WITH LILITH MERCURY RETROGRADE AGGRAVATIONS CONTINUE AS THE FLY IN THIS WEEKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S CABERNET, BUT THEY WONâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;T LAST (FOREVER) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; THEY WILL PASS (AFTER NOVEMBER 2ND)â&#x20AC;Ś

ARIES: Aries are usually prepared to give 110% of themselves to whatever theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re involved in. Others might prefer a touch less if your input overrides their own freedom of choice or action this week. Try to be mindful of conďŹ&#x201A;icting interests.

CANCER: Feeling a bit neglected? Then thank your lucky stars. Because if this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s people werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t so busily engaged elswhere theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be trying to organize, change and improve you, and not too subtly suggesting youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d better shape up or else. LEO: Leos are born with a profound sense of self belief (We are the chosen ones) something this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s energy activates to the max, rendering you impervious to discussion or second opinions. At least appear to be attempting to entertain the idea of being ďŹ&#x201A;exibleâ&#x20AC;Ś.

week â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go getting your mind in a twist about that either. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so much going on theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not able to just yet â&#x20AC;&#x201C; things need time to work themselves out. LIBRA: Libraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an air sign, and this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s air pulsates with a mad mix of exciting ideas, unexpressed tension and passionate feelings... So what kind of cocktail can you put together out of these convivial, stimulating, intense and emotionally taxing existential ingredients? SCORPIO: Sharing more of your thoughts and plans will prevent misunderstandings or misinterpretations of your intentions this week. If thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not enough and people want more, well youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a Scorpio: you know how to say back off without even saying it. Just give them The Look. SAGITTARIUS: With the present star scenario the way it is, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worthwhile letting silence work for you and actions speak on your behalf. Letting others have their say will be a smart move, because youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll learn a

whole lot that you wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have otherwise. CAPRICORN: This week makes stability difďŹ cult: as soon as one thingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sorted, something else slips out of control. Group effort will be more effective than solitary slog as long as you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t insist on total compliance. Expressions of individuality arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily incompatible with the greater good. AQUARIUS: Emotional undercurrents bubble like ferment through this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s social buzz, with people possibly in contrary and argumentative mood. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quite a high accident rating too, so be aware of the effects of what you say and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take risks on the road. PISCES: If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re determined to make changes this week, check in with whoever will be affected by them â&#x20AC;&#x201C; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re likely to have ideas of their own. You may have to settle at present for small, incremental steps rather than large, life changing ones.

Locall Australis 1800 288 871 www.australis.net World Champion Viswanathan Anand has survived unruly scenes and extraordinary media attention since his return to India. After winning the world title in Mexico Anand reconfirmed his superstar status in India, but even he could not have expected the throng of fans and press awaiting him after midnight at Delhi airport last Sunday. Anand was supposed to have a press conference at the airport but the chaos forced Anand to escape to avoid further disturbances. Over the week, Anand has travelled around India, playing exhibitions, performing countless interviews and opening chess academies created by his long-time sponsor, information technology company NIIT. A half-joking comment by Anand when asked about playing Garry Kasparov â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Yes, if Kasparov is interestedâ&#x20AC;Ś there

is a match waiting for him if he wantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x201C; became an Anand challenge to the retired former World Champion, now a Russian presidential hopeful. Similarly, after saying in the days following his Mexico win that he was interested to see what the reception in India would be like, Anand was also forced to deny that he had hoped for or expected a tickertape parade similar to that received by the Indian cricket team after they returned with the Twenty20 World Cup two months earlier. Anandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most pleasant interactions on his tour seem to have been with the Indian junior players, for whom Anand is close to a god. Overall, however, the publicity-shy Anand is probably grateful that more than a decade ago he moved from Chennai to Madrid, where he

can lead a relatively normal life. N This weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game is a major upset from the ongoing Essent tournament in Hoogeveen, the Netherlands. Tiger Hillarp Persson is known as the most aggressive grandmaster in the world â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in one victorious tournament he sacrificed his queen in all nine games! â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but here is overwhelmed by a local Dutch player on an inspired day. Hoogeveen 2007 White: T Hillarp Persson Black: H Grooten Opening: Sicilian Defence 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 a6 6.Be3 e6 7.Qd2 Be7 8.f3 Nc6 9.g4 0-0 10.0-0-0 Nxd4 11.Bxd4 b5 12.g5 Nd7 13.h4 Rb8 14.Be3!? 14.Rg1 is a more standard way to prepare the h5 advance. 14â&#x20AC;Ś Qa5 15.Kb1 b4 16.Ne2 Nc5 17.Nd4 Bb7 18.h5 Rfd8 19.g6 Bf6 20.gxf7+ Kxf7 21.Rg1 Na4 22.Bh3 Nc3+!

The calm 25â&#x20AC;ŚBd5 may have been objectively stronger but would certainly not have won the game as quickly, if at all. 26.axb3 Rb8! 27.fxe4?

Sports Roundup with Eve Jeffery

Parent Pounds Pavement to Preserve Pinnacle Position Eve Jeffery I’m the fastest runner in my street. And I have been for a long, long time.’ A bold statement from anyone. More of a challenge really, and when Damian Farrell uttered the phrase, I immediately told him to put his money where his mouth is. For the past six years, Damian has run a race at Clifford Street South Golden Beach, and has been victorious on every occasion. When I asked him how he had managed such a long reign, he said it was a complicated matter of selectively culling the competition. ‘I usually wait until surf’s up, that pretty much gets rid of the teenage boy contingent, and I make sure no-one else any good is around. That way when I stand at my front gate and yell out that I can beat anyone in the street in a race, I am pretty sure that I am right.’ The inaugural race in 2001 was a quiet affair with sprinkling of small children, mainly Damian’s daughter Kinta, her friends and a few strays. Damian was a shoo-in that year, and the next, remembered fondly by neighbour and supporter

John who said, ‘I recall the 2002 race. Damian was seen running down the street on his own that day. That was a great win.’ It wasn’t until 2003 that the race was formalised and a trophy taken home by the winner: a trophy donated, engraved and as you may guess, won, by Damian Farrell. ‘It was stiff competition in 2003,’ said Mr Farrell, ‘at least half the Ocean Shores preschool was there. It was a real challenge, but fortunately, the

surf was good that day and I managed to pull it off.’ This year, note was taken that the ﬁll-in sports editor was a total slacker and would put anything vaguely sporty in print, so a request for Echo coverage of the north of the shire’s most prestigious athletic event, was put forward. The date was set to coincide with Damian’s fortysecond birthday, as he would spend a weekend day of intense preparation with

his feet up having his toenails clipped by his entourage and generally relaxing. After a quick whip around Clifford Street, with a promise of a photo in the paper for the winner, Damian and his family managed to rustle up over twenty competitors for this year’s event. Team Farrell, consisting of wife Nikki and 8 month old baby Jarrah, were very supportive of the race, with cheers of ‘go Day-mo, go Day-mo, go, go, go Day-mo,’

ringing up and down the street. After several false starts mainly due to Mr Farrell’s insistence that he begin the race a little ahead of the others so they could see the trophy held aloft as they ran, the race was run and won. Alas the surf was ﬂat on Sunday arvo and the prize was stolen from the champ as he was just a bit more than pipped at the post by whipper snapper 14 year old Byron High student Julian Alcorn. When The Echo asked Julian how he felt about his win, and the fact that he had knocked the only known champ of Clifford Street off his perch, his response was simple. ‘Um. No um. It was great winning this um great race.’ Needless to say race LOSER Damian, suggested that he hold onto the trophy for safe keeping, with Team Farrell letting it drop that the house mantle was a little light in the trophy department, and that the now ex-champ was very attached to the ‘Fastest Runner In The Street’ trophy, one he had been polishing religiously for the past four years. The Echo asked Mr Far-

rell if he would attempt to regain his title next year, a very polite ‘no comment’ was the only response, though I did hear a mufﬂed mention of the fact that the pre-schoolers had somehow grown into high schoolers and that there wasn’t much hope from here on in. Damian was last seen with pocketed hands, wandering through the neighbourhood testing the durability of his Dunlop Volleys by scuffing the asphalt on lower Clifford Street, and rambling on about how when he was a lad they were so poor that when he went to the beach the seagulls threw chips at him. There was a suggestion made by Team Farrell that he get a larger violin, or at least one that was in tune. The Echo would love to hear about the fastest runner in your street.

Sports Roundup with Eve Jeffery Mullum Tennis Ace Heads To Texas

Margaret Gort is the biggest fan of son Stephen and she will give all she can to get him to Texas Photo Eve Jeffery

Having a ten year dream is a major thing in anyone’s life, but when that dream is more than half your life it seems all the bigger. Eighteen year old Mullumite Stephen Gort has been impelled to play tennis ever since he experienced it ﬁrst hand as a seven year old, when his grandmother gave him a gift. ‘Gran Neta saw an ad in The Echo for a tennis coaching camp and signed me up as a treat in the holidays,’ said Stephen. Little did she know that the kind gesture to her grandson would set the ball flying into his future. Since that camp Stephen, who won his ﬁrst tornunament at age 8, has accumulated over 60 trophies and several titles including both the Under 16 and Under 18 National titles in the Junior Development Series, and State titles for Tennis NSW. He has been a ranked Australian player since he was thirteen and is currently seeded number 149. As a member of the Mullumbimby Tennis Club, Stephen feels he has been supported wonderfully over his short career and has special thanks for past coach

Crankin

John Parson, President of the club Greg Southern and Dave Runnican who was instrumental in Stephen being invited overseas. ‘Dave rang Clint Newcombe who agreed to give me a half an hour hit. That half hour turned into 2 hours, and ended with Clint giving me a 1/2 Scholarship to the John Newcombe Tennis Ranch in Texas.’ Biggest fan and mum Margaret is all praise for her boy. ‘He would work as hard as anyone asked him to. If he could ﬁnd someone to hit the ball back, he would train 16 hours a day just to learn more about tennis and improve his skill. All his coaches say he has a big heart.’ But it will take more than a heart bigger than Texas to get him there. Margaret who has brought up her family alone since his dad passed away when Stephen was four, struggles constantly with the ﬁnancial burden that goes along with growing an elite athlete. Tennis can be an expensive sport and the cost of racquets and shoes alone are a huge expense in the Gort family pocket. ‘Stephen was offered the

Story & Photo Philharmonic. There is an old adage: ‘It’s about the journey, not the outcome.’ Well let me say that after being privileged to travel to Grafton to watch the Byron Men’s Basketball team compete at the oldest established Tournament in Australia, that the journey was close to life changing! Picture this. Teams from all over eastern Australia littered with highly skilled players that have competed at the highest level, not just here but overseas, gathering at Grafton Stadium to take home the prize. And this is basketball, a game of giants, so there are bodies ranging from six feet (180 cm’s) to six feet ten (205 cm’s) everywhere. Enter the Byron Men’s team, a combo of local boys and men, some who have left The Bay for Melbourne and Sydney returning to go to Grafton, to reunite to play. After two days and four preliminary games, while maintaining a very Byron outlook of openmindedness, wild naivety and fearlessness throughout, the boys found themselves amongst the surviving four teams playing against Logan in the semi final, with a win sending

them for the first time ever into the big GF – the grand final. This is how the semi went; it was like being in a Mighty Ducks movie. The game starts with the news our big man Jason has torn a ligament in his foot – he’s out and we’re down to eight players. Within minutes Grant (Silky G) has his knee twisted by an out of control Logan player and is soon in the ambulance on his way to Grafton Hospital. We’re down to seven. Just after half time with Byron and Logan tied on the scoreboard, Nash Campbell is fouled out. We’re down to six. The pace is furious, the crowd getting bigger and bigger as the word goes out that there is a rumble going on at court 2, and that those ‘Byron hippies’ (as we were deemed) are going off!!! With minutes to go with the score still seesawing, point guard Dan Northey is ejected for fighting – naughty Dan. We’re down to five, and we now have two seventeen year olds on the court forced to battle with a very physical, very focused opposition. With seconds to go we are down three. That’s when A.Web launches a three while falling, while being fouled.

The ball hangs in the air then drops to send the game into overtime. The crowd goes crazy. We go crazy. Our smiles are so wide our faces hurt for days. Games on the other three courts stop and everybody attending, two hundred odd people, gather to watch the Hippies over achieve. Anyway, the teams thump it out for another 5 minutes. We have no subs and are red and exhausted, but maintain. With 15 seconds to go we’re down by two. We need a three pointer to win. We call a play. Seventeen year old six foot five Mullum’ High guy Dario is chosen to take a three before the clock expires. And he does, he lets it fly with a second to go. The magic boomerang spins over head as time stalls. The hooter sounds with the ball still in the air. This is the Mighty Duck bit. If you could take snap shots of the crowd you would see we were all stuck in a special moment together. The ball hits the lip, loops around the rim, then flips out. We lose. They win. The crowd screams. But we are happy. The journey was profound. Next year we’ll win. But it doesn’t matter if we don’t.

scholarship last January and we have missed all the intakes at the ranch this year as we have not yet been able to raise the rest of the fees and airfare to get him there,’ says Margaret. ‘The ranch tuition and accommodation is $13,000 so we have to come up with half that, and then the cost of the flight. We are aiming for the January intake if we can. The Bruns pub have been very supportive as has the Mullum Tennis Club who recently held a fun day.’ For now Stephen will have to bide his time with finishing his Certifiicate in Fitness studies at Kingscliff Tafe, and eyeing off the career of Raphael Nadal, a player whom Stephen hopes to meet one day and possibly even play against. ‘Pat Rafter and Nadal are my inspiration. Nadal can beat Federer, not many can do that. I’d like to play for Australia in the Olympics or the Davis cup, and I really want to win a grand slam event,’ says Stephen Anyone intersted in supporting Stephen on the road to Texas can contact Margaret on 6684 1526 or email: L-R Nash Campbell, Dario Strebl, Dwayno (kneeling), Dan Northey, Josh Rookie, Brett Madden, Matt gort@westnet.com.au Ogle, Jason Golding, Mick Murphy (strapper) Grant Jenkins.

15:31 minutes, Jordan found himself in ﬁrst place and the winner of the gold medal. He also ran a leg of the 4 x 1 kilometre relay, and the team won the bronze. Amusingly the thing that Jordan most liked about his adventure west was the railways. ‘I liked Perth’s transport system,’ said Jordan ‘but racing was fun too. It was a good competition and a great challenge.’ His peers at Brunswick primary have been very supportive of Jordan. ‘The kids at school have been congratulat-

ing me, and Mr Channells (the school principal) says it’s all about raising the bar.’ Jordan is hoping next year when he attends Mullum High that he will be able to continue his gold run in the high schools section of the event.

TOOT wants commitment to rail from pollies TOOT organisers have called on both major parties to commit to restoring rail services and get on with building a link to Queensland. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time for the government to invest some of the budget surplus in rail,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said TOOT spokesperson Karin Kolbe. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;There is a very strong feeling in the community that more money needs to be spent on infrastructure and services. There is also a very firm view across the region that commuter rail services and a rail link to Queensland are appropriate to the needs of the community and provide a broad spread of economic, social and environmental beneďŹ ts. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;These community views are contained in hundreds of letters from residents to both parties that we have collected from the voters of Richmond and Page.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; TOOT has written to the leaders of both parties as well as all candidates in

Richmond and Page seeking their commitment to get trains on our tracks and a link to Queensland. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We are now inviting the public to have a say as well and send personalised messages to both parties,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said Ms Kolbe. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The initial response has been very strong.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve collected over ďŹ ve hundred letters in the last few days and expect many thousands to come in over the next few weeks.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;People should look out for TOOT stalls and other events or go to www.toot. org.au.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Letters collected by TOOT will be presented to local candidates for forwarding to Transport Minister Vaile and Shadow Transport Minister Ferguson. TOOT organisers were hoping to be able to present letters directly to the Federal Transport Minister when he visits the Tweed.

It’s a great opportunity to see some new flicks and to support our local ﬁlmmakers. Q Q Q Q The Great Debate on Sunday night was about as riveting as watching paint dry but we did learn that John Howard intends to do something about climate change in… um… 2011. More interesting was the following ABC broadcast of the 2007 Andrew Olle lecture on journalism by John Hartigan, the big cheese, apart from Rupert, of News Limited. You can read it online at www.abc.net.au/sydney or download an mp3 of the talk.

Q Q Q Q Following our Backlash last week on the increase in McMansions in the Shire, a reader laments, ‘I now have a McMansion in my backyard. The DA for this was lodged over ﬁve years ago so surrounding neighbours who bought in the last ﬁve years had no avenue to object. A warning to other buyers to search for DAs lodged over 5 years ago.’ Q Q Q Q Two custom made gold tracksuits and matching motorbike helmets were stolen between 3am and 9am from the Great Northern Hotel band room on Saturday October 13, after another successful Solid Gold Disco night. Anyone with information please contact Pip 0411 482 365. They would be hard to miss.
