Byron Bay library gets go-ahead

Head cops it on chin for November Fair

Plan (DCP) guidelines, among other things. However her motion was lost 5-4 with some councillors concerned there was no report from staff on the proposal. Instead, an amendment from Cr John Lazarus to get a staff report ﬁrst on her proposal got the nod. Cr Barham backed her proposal

Michael McDonald After many years of waiting the new Byron Bay library on the Sandhills Estate finally got the goahead last week when Byron Shire Council voted 7-3, Crs Tucker, Tardif and Woods opposed, in favour of the option sought by Friends of the Library and the library committee. Mayor Jan Barham, who seconded the motion by Cr Jan Mangleson, told The Echo, ‘The approval of the library concept plan is a long awaited outcome and means that we can now proceed with the development application and some much needed fundraising. ‘The library will be a whole of community space, providing not only for education but also the enjoyment and appreciation of literature as well as arts and culture with an exhibition space being part of the plan. The commitment to a green building will be another feature of this project and will set a benchmark for contemporary building in the Shire. ‘Many thanks go the Friends of the Library and Council’s Library committee who have been committed to the library project for many years. We will be looking at options to seek community financial support as well as recognition for major donations.’ In a report Council staff had recommended a smaller library design, saying the favoured project ‘is still significantly over budget and the architect has advised that the project cannot be delivered at the scope specified in the current budget [of $3.7 million]’. During public access Bob Levett, president of Byron Friends of the Library, spoke against the option recommended by staff. ‘It has no community space and does not meet state government requirements for fitout grants in the future,’ Mr Levett said. ‘To go down this path seems quite ridiculous.’

The intrepid new principal of Mullumbimby Public School, Vlad Knaus, has bravely volunteered to be one of those to be christened with wet sponges at the ‘Splash Clash’ stall this Friday evening from 4.30pm to raise funds at the Mullumbimby November Fair.

Get in the queue early as Vlad will only ‘clown around’ as the target of your wet sponges for an hour, and there are a lot of excited school children also eager for the chance. The children can also enjoy Cup and Saucer, the Bat Tail, the Lost

Temple and the Mini Jumping Castle. Adults can visit the sculpture show, walk the tealight labyrinth and hear about its meaning from storyteller Jenni CargillStrong. Bargain hunters will appreciate the stalls while the auction offers

tickets to the Missy Higgins concert. Entertainment begins at 5pm – The Kindys will dance to ‘Splish Splash’ and a band of parents will perform, featuring Stewey of Sarah Tindley’s band on guitar and Dave Sanders, who drums for Lisa Hunt.

Council looks at climate change impact Michael McDonald Byron Shire Council voted 9-0 last week, Cr Ross Tucker absent, to consider the impact of climate change on its planning instruments and future land development. Council staff will bring a report to Council on climate change parameters proposed by Mayor Jan Barham. In a mayoral minute Cr Barham

moved that in determining its strategic planning processes Council will take into account temperature increases of 0.7 to 5.6 degrees C until 2070; sea-level rises of 18cm91cm up until the end of this century; increases in rainfall intensities of 5%-40% by the end of this century; increase in cyclone intensities by 2050 of 10% to 20%, with peak wind speeds 5% to 10% faster;

and increases in maximum rainfall of 20% to 30% and storm surges increases of 20cm to 50cm. She also favoured adopting a 100 year planning model which would look at applying the climate change parameters to coastline management; floodplain management, emergency management, and Local Environmental Plan (LEP) zoning and Development Control

Effective communication

From front page

Do you have trouble getting your message across or is what you say often taken in a way you didn’t intend? Is conflict something you know well: you either come out fighting, or you withdraw further into separation? If you’d like to change this pattern of interaction in your relationships and improve your relationships then ACE has a weekend course for you. ‘Effective Communication and Resolving Conflict’ is being offered in Mullumbimby over the weekend of November 17 and

Mr Levett said option C1 would attract grant funding which would help meet any budget shortfall. ‘Council needs to go ahead with C1. If it doesn’t, the new library for Byron Bay disappears over the horizon.’ As well as the 1120 square metre library, Option C1, which is expected to cost in total $4.8 million, will include a multi-function space for community use, a room for the Arakwal, a timber deck looking over Middleton Street, and a 17 space carpark. Mr Levett also described the current library in Law-

son Street as ‘a disgrace. While Council has re-roofed it, it still leaks, mould has to be washed from the walls and there are occupational health and safety concerns for staff.’ Q Comment: about bloody time! The home of the writers festival deserves it. Since Council ﬂogged off its old chambers in Lawson Street in 1996 and shifted the library into a makeshift space across the road, the Shire’s keen library-goers have been lobbying for a worthy replacement. They will likely have to wait until mid 2010 to enjoy it.

Historical society celebrates 25th Story & photo Lou Beaumont Mullumbimby based Brunswick Valley Historical Society had a twofold reason to celebrate on Saturday October 27. The BHVS celebrated the 25th anniversary of the formation of the society along with the centenary of the museum building which was originally Mullumbimby’s first permanent post office. After forming in 1982, the society won a contract in 1984 to clear the post office site in Burringbar Street to make way for a new building. They moved the timber structure in two stages and set about making a local history museum. The old building opened for business in November 1907. Current BVHS president and former first treasurer, Chris Gray, told The Echo, ‘A few of us felt as though a lot of history was vanishing. In the pre-computer world there were few photographs on record, only those few that appeared in the newspaper, and after 100 years of settlement many of us felt this was something that needed to be addressed. Robyn [Gray] then came up with the idea of starting an historical society, and after a few public meetings a committee was formed and the rest is history. ‘We spent the next two years trying to locate a premises. Ever ything seemed to be a dead end until the postal authorities told us they were going to build a new post office. We had only four months to get organised. ‘We had to follow the tight schedule of Australia Post to clear the old building off the new post office site as agreed. We needed to raise a

lot of money and did so through trash and treasure markets at the showgrounds, rafﬂes in the streets of Mullumbimby and through public donations. ‘We still needed to take out a bank overdraft to tide us over but we got there in the end. We had a lot of fun moving the building. We were a group of amateurs but we just got on with it!’ Robyn Gray, founding president and current secretary of the BHVS said, ‘It was the late Maurie Summers who then came up with the idea of introducing monthly markets in order to provide ongoing revenue for society maintenance. The surrounding park in which the Mullum markets are held are named after him, and he actually heard that the name “Summers Park” was approved on the day he passed away.’ Member for Ballina and early member of the BHVS, Don Page, presented a com-

also present at the celebrations. She told The Echo, ‘There is so much fascinating history attached to this area. There is a real opportunity for some of the younger people, particularly those into multimedia, to record stories and memories from people who have experienced the history ﬁrsthand.’

Golf club works to improve the land Thanks to the generosity of Wilsons Creek Landcare and Rainforest Rescue, Mullumbimby Golf Club has been able to augment the animal habitats on the golf course by planting 500 new trees. The trees have been planted in the south eastern corner of the golf course and can be seen from Myocum Road. Right: Paul Bellerby, one of Mullumbimby Golf Club’s directors (front left) works with Sue Riley (Wilsons Creek Landcare president) and Rusty Marsden (83 years and life member of the club), also in front.

Organisers expect 500 to climate action walk ‘I anticipate at least 500 people coming – there is a real buzz on the north coast as preparations are put in place for the Walk for Climate Action to be held at Byron Bay on Saturday November 3, said Kylie Flevell, a member of the North Coast Climate Action Alliance. ‘On that day there will be a dramatic action on Cape Byron, in which hundreds of people will send a climate warning to the voters of Australia that both major parties have failed the climate policy test.’ ‘Mt Warning is one of the parts of Australia the sun touches first. On Cape Byron, all wearing white, we will create a human wave, pointing to Mt Warning to send our message to the people of Australia that climate change is the greatest crisis to face humanity.’ One of the organisers, Jill Lemessurier, said, ‘We must use this election to make sure the major parties shake off their complacency because the next election will be too late. We’re warning voters that neither of the

major parties show they understand this threat to our climate life support system. ‘Neither party has short term targets for reducing carbon emissions. Only the Greens and Democrats have decisive climate policy. This is the most important issue of our time – whatever your normal political allegiance, vote to give these minor parties the balance of power in the Senate. ‘The support coming from the community for the Walk for Climate Action has been amazing. I have never before experienced such a wave of enthusiasm and generosity. ‘Climate Action Groups in Lismore Kyogle, Ballina, Mullumbimby and Byron Bay are all involved. We have percussionists, ﬁlmmakers, helicopter pilots, photographers all pitching in to make this dramatic event work and to get it into national media and on YouTube. ‘We are asking everyone to tell their friends to wear white and to walk, cycle, bus or car-pool to gather just north of the Clarkes Beach carpark before 9.30am on

Saturday. Wear a hat, comfy shoes and bring your own water from home. We will be walking up via The Pass and Watego’s to the Cape where the action and ﬁlming will take place, then back again via the forested walking track. The event will take 90 minutes to two hours.’ Simon Clough, for the Lismore Climate Action Group, said ‘We want people to know the scores that the peak environment groups have given the political par-

ties for their climate policy – these can be seen on www. thebigswitch.org.au. The major parties are failing us on this: the Coalition scores a pathetic 16%, the ALP score 36%. The Greens top score at 96% and the Democrats get 88%. We’re asking people to make climate the key issue when they vote, especially in the Senate. ‘The scores can be changed and we are hoping for signiﬁcant changes from the major parties.’

Splendour’s green creds Over $25,000 was raised through this year’s Splendour In The Grass Green Ticket initiative to neutralise the carbon emissions generated by festival goers and the event itself. Organisers believe Splendour is the ﬁrst music festival in the world to provide punters with the opportunity to neutralise their own carbon emissions associated with travelling to and from an event. Some 5,425 concert-goers or 31% of Splendour attend-

ees opted for the Green Ticket option for an additional $3.50, or almost $19,000 of the event’s $25,000 greenhouse footprint overall. Carbon offset business Climate Friendly purchased renewable energy credits with the money. ‘This is a fantastic outcome for a ﬁrst time initiative and really shows the level of environmental concern among the Splendour audience,’ Climate Friendly CEO Joel Fleming said.

with a report compiled from scientific documents by BEACON president Dailan Pugh. She told her fellow councillors she had also consulted with Council’s asset management director Brett Lee and Professor Bruce Thom, former chair of the NSW Coastal Council. ‘This addresses a very serious issue not just for us but for the world,’ Cr Barham said. ‘Neither state nor federal government has given direction to local government. ‘Climate change will affect the future settlement pattern of the region. We have a duty of care and responsibility to current and future generations.’ Cr Ray Kestle was the ﬁrst to raise concerns about the parameters proposed. ‘This is important enough that it requires a report – we need some analysis of Mr Pugh’s report. ‘This is a big deal. It will affect all future planning.’ Cr Tom Tabart congratulated Cr Barham on her motion. He quoted from an article by George Monbiot in last week’s Echo, which looked at the dangers of ice sheet melt. ‘The figures the mayor has put in this are modest,’ Cr Tabart said. ‘I hope the

state government looks up and sees Byron Shire leading the way.’ Cr Bob Tardif went on the attack, saying ‘introducing this as a mayoral minute is an abuse of the position of mayor. It is a very, very signiﬁcant piece of legislation and is setting a direction which is very, very proscriptive. ‘It should have been a notice of motion to get a report.We do have to address these issues; I’m really concerned about what it will do to the LEP.’ In moving his amendment Cr Lazarus said, ‘I’m 100% in support of this but we need to identify the impact on staff and resources.’ Supporting the amendment Cr Jan Mangleson said, ‘We need to know the full ramiﬁcations of what the mayor is proposing. The jury is still out on climate change. I do not necessarily agree with Mr Pugh.’ Questioned by councillors, planning director Ray Darney said, ‘This is a very important matter, and we’re working on it already. I think we can deal with it without delaying the LEP in a great way.’ Asset management director Brett Lee said he needed to know procedures to implement the climate

change parameters. ‘For instance, do we retrospectively apply it to the Tallow Creek Floodplain Management Plan which has already been modelled?’ In her right of reply Cr Barham said, ‘For eight years I’ve been trying to grab attention on this issue, particularly with the staff. I’ve taken this initiative because I believe it is one of the most important things we can do. If we don’t do it now, we’ll be seen as negligent.’ Cr Richard Staples foreshadowed a motion to thank Mr Pugh for his contribution. Cr Tardif voted against the motion. Q Comment, page 10

LOCALLY MADE PAINT HELPING COMBAT GLOBAL WARMING Every day we read or hear about climate change in our newspapers and TV news – our politicians are sure talking about it, but that is about all! It is an issue Nature Cover Paints have been broadcasting since the late 1980s in their product literature and advertising.

• Paints made with the highest quality ingredients • Suitable for interior, exterior, domestic and commercial • Environmental and health kind, giving zero emissions, 99.9% VOC free • Tough, durable, scrubbable, can be tinted to any colour from any chart • Easy to apply, no paint odours and a 10 year guarantee for the exterior range • Price and performance comparative to quality mainstream paints

ature Cover Paints have been enjoying 98% repeat custom since opening their store in Byron Bay five years ago. Manufacturer and inventor of the unique paint technology, Sam Shomali, has put many years of time and money into the research of the breakthrough paint formula… in which recycled, re-fined waste fossil oils are emulsified into a water-soluble all purpose paint range. Even over the past five years, Sam has been further improving the formulae, and he passionately believes, that aside from the environmental and health benefits, Nature Cover paints are one of the best on the marketplace for performance and quality. He has kept the technology in Australia and manufactures the paints locally.

Here is what some of their happy customers have to say: “As architects we are always on the look out for new materials. What drew our attention to the Nature Cover range of paints was the fact that they were environmentally friendly and made from recycled re-refined waste fossil fuels. As we were doing renovations in our own home we decided to give it a test run but ended up painting the whole house both internally and externally. We were very impressed with the depth of the colour in the

paint, which, on application gives it a very “I wish to give my recommendation to the uniform and consistent finish. 12 months later, paints from Byron Paint Factory. As a builder it’s still looking great and we now specify for 30 years I have used many paints, and Nature Cover paints on all our projects.” this is amongst the best.

Mullum’s young men are making music The boys from the Youthlinx Young Men’s group in Mullumbimby have been participating in a Music Makers program facilitated by Jo Tamiara. The boys are students from Mullumbimby High School and are referred to the program by the school. They attend weekly and have had a lot of fun learning how to write lyrics, record music and play instruments. Some of them have also been laying down tracks on the computers through Garage Band software. ‘I used to have them on my own and although I enjoyed them, they were quite a handful as there’s twelve of them aged 14 – 15 years,’ said Deborah Pearse,

the facilitator of Youthlinx. ‘Since they’ve been doing the music makers program they’re more focused, learning new things and getting to do something they love that

Year 11 Mullum High student Sara Momtazian, pictured right, has just won the ABC Heywire Competition for the north coast with her short documentary. Under this year’s umbrella theme ‘Have your say’, Sara interviewed fellow Mullumbimby High students about community, stereotyping and what life is like as a teenager in a rural area. Sara’s ﬁlm, Voices from the Country, was a culmination of a few hours of interviews with her classmates and one afternoon of editing. So to be one of the 34 regional winners nationwide at 16 years (with Heywire entrants ages ranging from 16-22 years) is not bad for a day’s work. Sara said, ‘I definitely didn’t expect to win. I really made the footage to build my portfolio. I am aiming to study film at uni, like a

Lou Beaumont With the devastation of the Ecuadorian rainforests continuing it is heartening to hear that the Rainforest Rescue team, set up and run by Byron Shire locals, is making a difference. Kelvin Davies, Executive Ofﬁcer of RR, told The Echo, ‘Our purchase of 200 hectares of pristine rainforest in Ecuador has just been confirmed. This most recent purchase is part of a greater 20,000 hectare corridor of rainforest we are trying to save. The corridor links two protected and hugely diverse areas of forest and is essential to maintain the current levels of biodiversity. And they are in a hurry to save it. With current destruction levels at a sickening 300,000 hectares per year, it won’t be long until it’s all gone. Ecuador houses 20% of all plant species in the world, and with twice as many bird species as Australia it is clear to see why the Ecuadorian ‘cloudforests’ – so named due to the altitude in which they exist on the Andes mountains – are considered a biodiversity hotspot. Davies adds, ‘It’s worth mentioning too that when looking at the causes of global warming, plane travel is repsonsible for approximately 3% whereas forest destruction is responsible for around 25%. Without halting forest demolition, no amount of turning off the lights will make any difference to climate change.’ The process by which RR is making a difference is a diverse and interwoven one. While the buying of forest on the open market and subsequent protection of these areas is an obviously essential part of halting the devastation, even more signiﬁcant is the work that the Rainforest Rescue team, with their UK counterparts Rainforest Concern, do with the local rainforest dwellers. Teaching poor local people sustainable practices and the

value of their homeland is vital as it is they who currently contribute most significantly to the culling of precious cloudforest. In order to scratch a living, locals who live in wattle and daub huts will cut down or burn huge sections of forest in order to pursue unsustainable agricultural practice. Often more land is burnt than used as it is difficult to control the fire on the steep slopes of the Andes and the locals do not value the land enough to try. Such unsustainable agricultural practices earn them $4-$5 a day. In contrast, locals who have set up ecotourism businesses with the help of RR and RC are earning around $40 per night per guest. Kelvin explains, ‘Local families have the option of entering into an agreement where in exchange for land being under our protection, the families living on that land receive assistance in the setting up of ecotourism businesses – that is, building a lodge and setting up business infrastructure.’ Most families would rather keep their surrounding forest while additionally making a much better living but without outside help they couldn’t afford to start

and logistically wouldn’t know how. Some of these locals have already won Relief of Poverty Awards for their ability to earn money from tourism instead of hard labour and forest destruction. For those local families not interested in eco-business, RR can work with them to strike fair trade agreements in order to ensure they receive fair prices for their produce. Therefore, growers of coffee, for instance, don’t need to extend their monoculture

so far into the forest as they receive much more money per trade. If you would like to see the valuable work of Rainforest Rescue continue in Ecuador and more locally, saving the Daintree, you can become a Rainforest Rescuer. Visit www.rainforestrescue.org.au or call 1300 763 611. People are encouraged to visit Kelvin and his team at the RR Mullumbimby ofﬁce to see the wonderful pictures of the areas they are succeeding in saving with your help.

Calling true blue angels A new project on the far north coast aims to provide support for True Blue Angels. According to the project’s coordinator, Ollie Heathwood, true blue angels are grandparents who are raising their grandchildren. Ms Heathwood said, ‘We call them true blue angels because they often sacriﬁce their own freedom just at the time of life when they might have expected to be footloose and fancy free having done the hard yards of work and raising a family. They may have to give up their retirement plans in order to offer a home, love, support

and protection to their grandchildren.’ The project has received funding from The Department of Health and Aging, The Ian Potter Foundation and The Northern Rivers Community Foundation. There will be a free morning tea for Grand-carers at the Brunswick Heads Community Centre. This will give grandparents a chance to meet the project coordinator and hear about services and beneﬁts that they may be entitled to. For more information please call Ollie Heathwood on 6622 8002.

NDC stages a day to honour the dead Mandy Nolan How do you honour family and loved ones you have lost? In South America they mark it with an event known as The Day of The Dead. According to celebrant and spokesperson for the Natural Death Centre, Zenith Virago, ‘They go to the cemetery and tend the grave, sometimes family members will travel across the country to be at the grave of their parents. They stay up all night and party and talk and celebrate with their family, living and deceased. I think it’s really healthy.’ For those who have lost someone they love, once the funeral is over, life sets back on its course and the grief becomes a very private and

often isolating emotion. Zenith sees the ﬁrst Annual Day of the Dead as a way to demystify and honour death and celebrate life. ‘We feel it’s valuable for people who desire it to have an opportunity to acknowledge and celebrate the people close to them who have died. This day offers everyone an opportunity to honour a loved one, whether recent or a long time ago that is poignant for them.’ The event meets with the spiritual vision of the Natural Death Centre. ‘It’s about promoting more acceptance,’ says Zenith. ‘That’s one of the key objectives, and by doing it we will make the experience less taboo and therefore

create a healthier community. If people deal with their grief, it improves the situation for everyone.’ The non-sectarian Day of the Dead Ceremony of Remembrance will be led by Zenith and will involve creating messages or symbols (with the assistance of community artist Sam Collyer) which will be burnt or sent down the river.The Heart Choir will be present at the community gathering to provide an aural dimension to the afternoon’s proceedings. According to Zenith, ‘It’s the opportunity to come and stand there silently.You don’t have to tell everyone about the person you have lost, you can be in your own space, acknowledge them in what-

ever way you want, but devote some time to the loss and the sadness and then finish by appreciating the people you love in your life. With any grief, it’s better to face it than to run away from it. ‘We want to reach all members of all communities within our local area. They are encouraged to get involved as a way of opening a dialogue on death. We especially reach out to many of our young people who have been deeply affected by deaths of friends and families.’ You can bring a photo, bring a ﬂower or wear white if you wish. Sunday 3pm at Heritage Park, Dalley Street, Mullumbimby.

Brunswick chamber semi-finalist in awards The Brunswick Heads Chamber of Commerce has been acknowledged as a semi-finalist in this year’s Regional Achievement and Community Awards. Last year the Chamber was a semi-ﬁnalist in the Community of the Year section, but this year they go forward to the ﬁnals in the Business Enterprise section for their Work for the Dole program partnership with Business

Employment and Training Centre (BETC). The partnership with BETC established a community Project Ofﬁce in the town centre, with an administration oriented Work for the Dole Program and parttime supervisory team. ‘The Project Ofﬁce is a dynamic engine room for a myriad of town projects, community events, the community website and Simple

Pleasures merchandise sales and provides the only tourism information service for Brunswick Heads,’ said the Chamber in a press release. ‘It has grown into a five day per week operation with the support of volunteers, and the huge output from the Project Office over the last year has spread benefits of this entrepreneurial partnership way beyond the participants, to the town and its

visitors.’ The Chamber will be represented by Michelle and Paul Begg from Print Rescue at the Gala Awards Dinner on November 10 in Newcastle, where the winners will be announced. The successful Work for the Dole Program has just been approved for a third six month term, and volunteers and participants are welcome – call Andrea, Carol or John on 6685 1003.

Turnbull looks after numero uno Vol 22 #21

October 30, 2007

Facing climate change Byron Shire Council is to be commended for taking steps last week to consider climate change in its planning instruments – see story front page – although debate on the issue descended into petty bickering at times. Congratulations to Mayor Jan Barham for bringing the issue to the fore, especially as the state and federal governments are slow to offer guidance to councils on dealing with climate change. This is despite the fact the state government’s Far North Coast Regional Strategy (available at www.planning.nsw.gov.au/plansforaction/ northcoast.asp) requires councils to take climate change impacts into account in its planning strategies. The mayor’s introduction of climate change impact parameters through a mayoral minute was not welcomed by all councillors, the majority of whom wanted staff input through a report. Cr Bob Tardif was churlish enough to claim the use of the minute was an ‘abuse of power’. His problem is really with the Local Government Act. Councillors had the opportunity to vote on the mayoral minute just as they would have had with a notice of motion. That said, Cr Barham would have done better to bring councillors and staff along with her. It seems she saw her minute as a stick of dynamite under comfy chairs after so many years of frustration in trying to get the message heard. Whatever the case, it is good that councillors and senior staff have expressed a sense of urgency over the impacts climate change may have on the Shire. There are many variables. The figures upon which Cr Barham based her parameters may be conservative. Her figure of sea level rises of 19cm to 91cm by the end of the century could be supplanted by a 25 metre rise if new evidence canvassed in last week’s Echo is correct. And last week a paper published by the US journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Science (available at www.globalcarbonproject.org) noted a decrease in the planet’s ability to absorb carbon emissions due to human activity. According to one of its authors, CSIRO’s Dr Pep Canadell, ‘Fifty years ago, for every tonne of CO2 emitted, 600kg were removed by land and ocean sinks. However, in 2006, only 550kg were removed per tonne and that amount is falling.’ This is serious stuff. It is imperative that likely impacts are taken into account in the preparation of the new Byron Local Environmental Plan. What’s the point of factoring in a future land release if in another 20 years the land will be under water? In the worst case scenario, climate change is about much more than the risk to property values. The State Emergency Service notes in its emergency risk management plan, ‘SES interest in the activity of the Australian Greenhouse Office has been in the work to have global climate change predictions – currently very coarse – refined to regional-level information.’ Both federal and state government owe it to local communities to ensure that vital information is available.

s we all know, the Liberal Party is all about the individual. The idea is to maximise personal freedom at all times. Labor may mumble about the need for collectives, for trades unions and other namby-pamby institutions which inevitably lead to dependence and misery.Your true Liberal knows that these are no more than crutches for the feeble, that people are perfectly capable of standing up for themselves and it’s best for them to do so. That’s what WorkChoices was all about: real workers can negotiate face to face with their bosses, decide for themselves what pay and conditions they will accept and then demand them, individual to individual. That’s why we give huge tax cuts, rather than spend money on things like health and education. It’s a matter of free choice: if people choose to spend their money on health and education, that’s up to them.You want to invest your tax cut in building a new teaching hospital, we’re not stopping you. Indeed, we urge you to embrace a life of rugged independence. Now get out there and look after yourselves, and enjoy your day. It’s all nonsense, of course: but it’s what the Libs claim to believe. So why are they so annoyed with Malcolm Turnbull when he simply follows the logic and tries to take care of number one? Turnbull, it seems, has dared to put himself in front of the Liberal collective. The Environment Minister has been pursuing a policy which goes against the consensus of cabinet, as determined by the Dear Leader, the Primus inter Minimos, John Howard. Turnbull has been urging the government to ratify the

Kyoto protocol, which has been anathema to our Man of Steel ever since George Bush told him it should be. There is, Turnbull insists, no good reason to hold back. Unlike many other countries, Australia will actually come close to reaching its very generous Kyoto target, and negotiations about a post-Kyoto protocol are about to begin. Only by ratifying the old agreement can Australia become a full participant in negotiating the new one. Moreover, Australia’s ratiﬁcation, however belated, would put pressure on the United States to do the same. It would also remove a major stumbling block to getting the developing countries, particularly India and China, involved in setting new targets for emission control; China

on a more urgent matter: there are votes in it. Turnbull has told various colleagues that he reckons ratifying Kyoto could be worth as much as three percent nationally, which is probably wrong; certainly it doesn’t allow for cynical punters dismissing a deathbed repentance as nothing more than yet another act of monumental cynicism. However, it surely wouldn’t do any harm. But Howard won’t budge – or, as Turnbull rather more graphically puts it, the little cunt is too fucking stubborn. (And how good it is to hear that old nickname for our beloved Prime Minister back in use! What a reminder of his glorious younger days, when everything was so much simpler!)

So Turnbull is not a team player; he is putting his own interests ahead of the party. How very Liberal of him. by Mungo MacCallum has specifically referred to Australia’s recalcitrance as a reason for refusing to sign up to any binding treaty. The argument is that developed countries like Australia are the ones responsible for the emissions already out there; it’s a bit rich of them to ask developing countries to agree to controls on their own future development without at least a token acknowledgement of their own past guilt in the area. But forget, if you like, all this airy fairy stuff about being a responsible international citizen: after all, it’s hardly part of the great Liberal tradition. Concentrate

And how very unsurprising that the story came out – or that Glenn Milne, the poison dwarf, celebrated it with a front page screamer in the Sydney Sunday Telegraph headlined: TURNBULL BETRAYS CABINET. According to Milne, members of the party believe that Turnbull himself leaked the story in order to save his own seat. The conspiracy theory runs that Turnbull has already made up his mind that the election is lost and Howard is ﬁnished. But if he can just hang on in Wentworth he could be starter for the leadership against Peter Costello – who is, of course,

Milne’s own candidate for the job. So Turnbull is not a team player; he is putting his own interests ahead of the party. How very Liberal of him. And what a surprise: having paid a fortune to organise the mother of all branch stacks to gain preselection and another motza to win the election and having devoted every waking moment since to scrabbling as far up the greasy totem pole as possible, Turnbull is determined to hold onto the bloody thing; who would have thought it? Certainly not the pusillanimous Costello or his acolyte. But perhaps Turnbull’s most recent target might recognise the symptoms. For more than a decade Howard insisted that he would only be leader for as long as the party wanted him and it was in the party’s best interests that he did so. Then last month when the party, through its senior parliamentar y representatives, announced to him that the time had come, he told them all to get stuffed and said he would ﬁght to the death to stay on, and bugger the party. It is Howard, of course, who has been Turnbull’s mentor and benefactor – until now. If the phrase ‘Liberal principles’ is not an oxymoron, the master and his apprentice are applying them like never before. And talking of wonderful phrases, Employment Relations Minister Joe Hockey got off a zinger last week: ‘Our scare campaign is based on fact,’ he solemnly explained to a boggling interviewer. Just think about that for a minute; the more you repeat it, the crazier it sounds. What will they be like after another three weeks?

There is a small proportion of dog owners who make life difﬁcult for other people and pose a threat to the rights of the great majority of responsible dog owners. Almost every morning on my visit to New Brighton beach, I am greeted by evidence of a dog’s visitation which has almost certainly occurred overnight. Some dog owners in the area obviously are in the habit of letting their dog wander uncontrolled. Another irresponsible element is the people who take two or three dogs to the beach and leave them unsupervised while they take to the water. Yes, let’s have greater council policing. But the rangers should be policing the things that matter, such as uncontrolled or roaming dogs and owners not picking up. Perhaps then, Council might be able to ﬁnd just one park in this part of the shire where dogs might be permitted, leashed or unleashed.

Some of my most enjoyable lunches over the past 17 years have been consumed at the café at Clarkes Beach. I would like to think I’d be enjoying more lunches when the Byron Beach Café opens in November (maybe in time for my birthday), but from the look of the sample menu mentioned in The Echo of October 16, it looks like it will be just another Byron Bay location catering to the rich and the visitor.

Less is more I wish to remind the busy business people of Byron United who are pushing to get even more tourists here, (as if a million and a half annually weren’t enough in our small town) that the vast majority of Byron Shire residents do not own small businesses. And while we don’t mind sharing this beautiful place with a few like-minded visitors, we gain nothing from hordes of tourists but ugly clutter and their free ride on our amenities, funded by local ratepayers. Oh, and of course we get the long queues of trafﬁc into town. Thanks a lot. So. How about we have fewer tourists? Why not?

What a good local election platform for someone. And what about the visual pollution that business brings, all the signs and advertising crap that make the streets of scenic Byron Bay as ugly as any other small town in the country. There are towns elsewhere in places of exceptional natural beauty, such as Banff in the Canadian Rockies and Carmel in California, where signage is strictly limited, often to just a plaque which identifies the business so customers can find it if they’re looking. Even our public Community Centre would have to stop cluttering the clean, elegant lines of its Federation-style building with gaudy banners shouting advertising slogans. For those of us who live here because of the sheer natural beauty of the place, the danger now is that the new freeway will turn us into an outer suburb of the Gold Coast. And that business will want to pave this place over, just so it can sell more junk to even more tourists. Please not.

Weedscapes

If Andrew Hall (Letters, Octobers 23) takes a closer look at my letter of October 16 he will see that I did not Grant Cameron mention that Madeira and Byron Bay Cat’s Claw take over degraded

soil but that they appear in degraded land. I am suggesting that European population degraded land by removing forest which is largely immune to weed incursion, and that European agriculture which

supplanted forest was unable or unwilling to recognise that weed growth, at its least, attempted to restore the loss of organic matter. Andrew’s comment that land planted with Madeira or

Singapore Daisy would give ‘a hell of a time getting any vegies’, is based in the short term – the reason why the society is unsustainable. In the long term, any soil given to dense vegetation of any

true democracy in this country. In theory every candidate has an equal chance of being elected. Campaign donations by big power blocks such as business and unions ensure that there is no level playing ﬁeld. Both major parties must dance to their tune. Pollsters tend to give us the ‘two party preferred’ ﬁnal outcome without much comment on how the preferences for other parties and independents will actually decide the result. I liken the process to a sport with only two teams. It would be all the better for having a league with many real competitors. In many elections no candidate attracts more than 50% of the vote. At present only one person is elected in each constituency so preferences from the other candidates are distributed until the candidate least disliked is elected. This means that more than half the people in most electorates get no representation at all! In order to improve gov-

ernance we need to improve the system. The Democrats call for a Constitutional convention to reform a political system devised more than a century ago when Australia was a collection of British colonies. We could end the adversarial bickering between ‘government’ and ‘opposition’ in favour of more cooperative processes. Many more people would engage in the political process as they would have reason to believe their point of view made a difference. Our preferential voting system at least allows voters to send a message, and still have their vote count in favour of the lesser of two evils. The Senate is the one to watch, as limited proportional representation allows for Democrats, Greens and Family First to represent other views and hopefully provide some balance in the next parliament.

The rule of law and adversarial politics Q Kevin wins the election. Next day he enters the vacant Prime Minister’s office and sits down to a clear desk. Thinks! The government has gone. Who can I copy now? What am I going to do? At that moment there is a knock at the door. And in stride ﬁve of his union colleagues. Ross Porritt

Byron Bay Q When the Office of the Governor General issues the Proclamation for the election, he prorogues(adjourns) the Parliament and causes a Dissolution (dissolves, terminates) the House of Representatives, all Members (MPs) of the House cease to be Members. Whereas the Ministers, under the Prime Minister, continue in office as Minister (Sec 64 of the Con) overseeing the governance of Australia in a caretaker mode. After the first week in election mode I found www.fed-

eralelection.com.au and decided to register as an ‘intending candidate’, however in searching through the site I notice certain references and web links in which ex Members of the House of Representatives were still claiming to be the Federal Member – this was disadvantaging other intending candidates. I contacted the Governor General and the Attorney General notifying them, that claiming to be a Federal Member after the dissolution of the House of Representatives was a misrepresentation of fact (fraud) and breached provisions of the Constitution, the Electoral Act and the Crimes Act. At the same time I informed IPrime who sponsor www.federalelection. com.au of the constitutional questions we had raised with the GG and the AG and of Primes responsibility/liability to only promote free and fair elections.

hours altered the site dramatically in line with the points of constitutional law we raised, thereby creating a more level playing ﬁeld up till nominations close and election day. So what? you might say. Well the point is the Governor General and the Attorney General are refusing/ failing to acknowledge or action any remedy. The rule of law and the Constitution is what is supposed to protect you and me, the Sovereign People of Australia. If you want real solutions to climate change, transport, health, dental,aged care and education etc. then the people must have their parliaments under their control and under the Constitution. Our Representatives must be just that, instead of following the party line. Look to the Constitution, and the higher laws of nature. When our parliaments are in respect of both these systems of law then we will have taken responsibility

and authority back to the people and away from the corporations. Who’s ready? Nic Faulkner

Intending independent candidate Q We are hearing about all the ‘goodie’ legislation that a Howard-led government would introduce. We don’t hear anything about what a Costello-led coalition government might, or might not, want to introduce. I now have my ear tuned to the possible difference between ‘Howard government’ and ‘Liberal government’ in any delivery of laundered legalese rhetoric. These Liberal Party lawyers are damn cunning wordsmiths. Peggy Balfour

Mullumbimby Q Peggy Balfour (Letters, October 23) is right: there is little difference between the major parties. The media perpetuate a ‘two-horse race’ myth to the detriment of

Letters species would improve in fertility because of it, and therefore potentially provide more food for many species, not just humankind. I am suggesting the development of weedscapes, but that weeds only have a chance of being controlled reasonably efficiently when sustainable agriculture is fully operational. However, since the society wishes the economic to be out of balance compared to the environmental and social, you wouldn’t want to hold your breath waiting for it. Geoff Dawe

For the whales I’ve recently returned from ten days filming and live streaming with the whales and dolphins in Hervey Bay for stage 1 of the Flight of the Humpback project and if Japanese whaling interests’ hacking of my site is any indication it was a great suc-

cess. I did about 28 live internet broadcasts and uploaded four edited clips from the catamaran. I plan to leave Brisbane around November 7 forStage 2, sailing, networking and internet streaming on the 55 foot Pelican catamaran to Sydney, arriving nine days before the federal election. I plan to be doing heaps of media along the way, promoting whale conservation and the various parties’ positions on whaling. Currently Labor’s position is far better for the 50 threatened Humpback whales than Howard’s. Labor said if elected they will take Japan to the international court of the seas and track Japan’s activities in Australian Antarctic waters with a navy ship. If anyone wants to participate in this important campaign I need to raise $2,500 for that trip by November 5. People can

buying a low lying coastal property (not that I can afford it anyway). Why isn’t the bulk of the proposed $34 billion in tax cuts going towards renewable energy power stations and research to reduce the carbon spiral. And that’s just the tax cut! Are we really that greedy and stupid that we vote for the party which promises the biggest carrot? What’s the cost going to be when many coastal towns on the east coast of Australia get ﬂooded. You can’t just build a levee around the coast and assume that it will keep the water out (think New Orleans). For the uninitiated, I’m trying not to sound too extreme. Do your own research. Sea levels will rise faster and higher than you think. Use your vote on November 24 (particularly in the senate) to demand greater change.

Soft, furry and curmudgeonly approaches to Splendour

John Addis

Tyagarah Q Liz Nankervis has won me over. I get it now. By the time the relentless pulse and pump of bass, the screech and wail of voice and guitar, the pound and clash of drums and cymbals, ampliﬁed to 95 decibels (freight

train, non-stop); by the time this reaches the leafy quiet of Coorabell it will be ‘quite soft and furry’ indeed. The roar and press of crowds, the gridlock of the roads, these will fret the calm of Coorabell less than a dream of youth passing through a nana nap. Little surprise that from Arcady in Coorabell, Liz can gaze down upon the distant, crowded, rowdy plain serenely and donate to the event a latte-Buddhist smile of benediction. Spare a thought for those who dwell just outside the gates of Ground Zero. A Bex, a cuppa and a little lie down will not restore the rhythms of the rural day. With I’m-comin’-in persistence, the wolves of noise will pound down their doors of perception and tear through every house, devouring peace and quiet in every corner it tries to hide. And meanwhile all the cars that eat Yelgun will not likely drive to feed on distant Coorabell. The Splendour proposal embodies such a radical change in the area’s land use and such an enormous change in its amenity, I can only suppose its supporters have not recognised this, nor imagined the impact on surrounding residents, let alone

wildlife. We all have our NIMBY blind spots, but surely in this region, if anywhere, we could recognise that the big money project that wrecks my neighbour’s backyard today will threaten mine tomorrow. Adrian Gattenhof

Mullumbimby Q Re Liz Nankervis’s letter. Firstly the vote count that Ri referred to was for the resolution that was formulated at the meeting; we can only count votes from people who attended, not for those that didn’t. Perhaps the reason that previous patrons did not show up to voice their approval to hold Splendour and other festivals at the proposed Yelgun site is that they can see the horrendous impact these festivals would have in a wildlife corridor. You can be in favour of festivals and still be in opposition to them being held on this site. Secondly how would Liz knowif anyone against Splendour at Yelgun had been at the festival or not? Did she ask? I for one was at this year’s Splendour, not as a patron but as a worker, and I witnessed many scenes that caused me to worry about the reasons these mega festivals are held and

the reason for patronage. I saw many teenagers turning up with bottles of alcohol, which they quickly downed before entering the festival site. Reason: to get as intoxicated as possible before having to fork out mega bucks to purchase alcohol inside. And what did these patrons do with their bottles? Just throw and smash them on the ground for someone else to clean up. We had drunken youths openly urinating next to our stall, even though there were toilets only 50 metres away. At one point I saw someone next to my van and when I approached her and asked what she was doing, she slurred, Taking a piss.’ Lovely, this is someone’s daughter who has lost all sense of decency. I witnessed many people throwing up, stumbling around, being taken away by medicos etc. We had merchandise stolen right in front

of us, the thieves not caring at all. Even Splendour had many of their decorations stolen, again the perpetrators thinking that it was funny. This was at the end of the last night when security had seemed to disappear on the stroke of midnight. Festival ﬁnished – total responsibility gone. I have two young sons who will soon be teenagers. Do I want to see them behave like these teenagers that I witnessed urinating, vomiting, drunk and drugged? No. These festivals are too big, just by them happening we as adults are encouraging this behaviour. Conny Hogan

Ocean Shores Q Responding to Mac Nicolson’s letter (Letters, October 23), I mainly agree with Mac’s views. However, I didn’t see anything ‘chaotic’ at all in over 300 very concerned residents presenting

a wealth of information and views. Mac didn’t mention that the two who spoke in favour of Splendour both chose to open their remarks by invalidly accusing the audience. One accused us of not being there in the highway route debacle (ha!), and the other said we didn’t support Get Rocked as it was going under (we didn’t know it was cancelled till we read it in the press). Both of these people got the bird. So it goes. Further, I attend various concerts and festivals, and am clear that I don’t want just any festival near my home. In terms of impact, a few thousand genteel middleaged literary folk (I’m one myself) is one thing, tens of thousands of rockers partying til 3am is another; not a tricky idea to grasp. It’s just a question of ﬁnding the right place! All success to that. David Hall

Q Sorry to be unclear, Liz (Letters, October 23). Please allow me to clarify on the issue of adolescents drinking rum at bus stops: Firstly, I have no problems with anyone using public transport. Some of my best friends are buses. Secondly, Bundy Rum is an emblematic national symbol (note the use of capitals) and is therefore beyond reproach, especially under the current regime. In fact, I think you’ll ﬁnd a question on this very issue in the new citizenship test. Finally, it is obvious to anyone of middle age, especially curmudgeonly soccer dads like me, that young people should not be allowed to have a good time. This is a rule strictly enforced in my own home and I look forward to the day when our next leader legislates against youthful enjoyment so that the miserable among us need not be reminded that there is another way.

Hanging on to that sense of wonder Story & Photo Mary Gardner

This track on the sand catches your eye. Usually you wouldn’t give it much of a thought. But you can see it is getting longer even as you look. Sure enough, there is a moon snail ploughing along, going one way and then the other. For a moment you wonder. Stop and hold that moment of wonder. Let’s go very carefully forward, slowly. In Australia, the term Marine represents a wet internationally recognised zone twice the size of the mainland continent. An Invertebrate is any animal without a backbone. Of the two million animals identified on the planet, 98% are invertebrates. Eighty new marine invertebrate species are found each year and there is no end in sight. Of all the commercial fishing done, 40% of the tonnage and a full 75% of the dollar value is marine invertebrates: squid, shellfish, crabs and more. The Molluscs are a group of animals here for the last four to five hundred million years. They have soft bodies, often with shells, like this moon snail or like clams. Sometimes they have only a small internal shell like

squid, octopus and cuttleﬁsh. Sometimes they have none, like sea slugs. Their nervous system chemistry and structure is so much like ours. They learn and adapt using the same processes that we do. Studies show their neurons ﬁre and link together certain cells over and over again. These neural networks are the stuff of memory. The work won Eric

Kandel the 2000 Nobel Prize. Moon snails, sometimes called sand snails, are carnivores. They eat clams. They attach themselves ﬁrmly to the shell and use their sharp tongue called a radula to drill a hole. They spit into the hole and digest the animal inside, sucking up their meal. This takes days. That’s how clam shells you ﬁnd get

that small hole at the top. If you spot small sand and jelly collars on the beach, you have found their eggs. The thousands will hatch and start aquatic travels accompanied by complete body transformations. Eventually, some settle and do as molluscs have done for all these millions of years. Is that sense of wonder still with you? Listen. You now

know more of the secrets of nature than some 85% of people around. Now, you are indeed different. From here on, you are like one gifted. Stephanie Tolan would note you have a heightened awareness. A new emotional intensity. An appreciation of complexity and paradox. It’s possible this moment of wonder has kickstarted your potential for extraordinary decision making, based on ethics rather than emotion or money. You see new things. You ﬁnd yourself measuring the distance from a moon snail to the nearest clam. You see that oil or diesel in the water confuses the snails. They don’t move. Some die. You look at the greasy ﬂow from the stormwater pipe into the sea and suddenly see it as polluting a womb where baby creatures grow.You get passionate about pollution or beach revegetation or climate change. And when it starts to get to you emotionally, when you realise that one creature affects another and then another and another, when the tangle becomes painful, remember there are 15% of people out there different just like you. This is the wonder of it.

History shows that 15% is about enough to effect a social change. The suffragettes, the civil rights movements: Marianne Williamson points out examples where it took only 11% of the population to tip a social change into existence.You are now part of this type of group. So when Bob Brown says 15%-20% of Australians weren’t addressed by the recent televised election debate, your ears prick up. He talks about the balance of power in the Senate. Further, he says his solar panels on his house were just purchased from a Chinese company run by an Australian university trained inventor who couldn’t get government backing here when he needed it. He’s made his billions in China instead. You can see it’s like the complexity of life for molluscs on the beach. In the great domino effect which ends up affecting all of our snails and our beaches, different tactics are needed.You draw on your sense of wonder and unlike 85% of people out there, you feel hope. So would you vote Red, Blue or Green? Q Mary Gardner is a writer, biologist and tutor. See more at www.mgardner.info.

Local agent under scrutiny Win with a funny face Mullumbimby real estate agent Sean Kenny has received national media attention following an attack on him by Sydney-based real estate commentator Neil Jenman. The NSW Ofﬁce of Fair Trading is also looking at the matter. Mr Jenman’s website attacks Mr Kenny over his purchase earlier this year of two lots, one including her home, from elderly Mullum woman Mer ron Shackel for $350,000. Mr Kenny now has the lots in New City Road listed for $613,000. Mr Kenny has insisted he has done nothing wrong and has made improvements to the property since purchase. ‘Her solicitor was fully aware of the offer,’ Mr Kenny told The Echo. In a written statement, Mr Kenny said that in February he received a telephone call from ‘one of the daughters of Mrs Shackel advising me that Mrs Shackel wished to sell her house and move into a retirement home. ‘This daughter expressed her concern that one of her siblings was negotiating with her mother to buy the property for $200,000. I was also advised that a local dentist had been negotiat-

ing to purchase the property for an amount of $300,000. ‘I contacted Mrs Shackel with a view to obtaining a listing. She said she did not want to list the property but wanted to sell it quickly and for $350,000. I told her I thought it was worth at least $400,000. ‘She indicated that she required a quick sale because she wanted to complete the purchase of the unit in the Retirement Village in Murwillumbah. Mrs Shackel suggested that I buy the property and I offered her asking price of $350,000. ‘I then provided Mrs Shackel with a written market appraisal indicating a value of $400,000 to $450,000.’ Mr Kenny also said he instructed his solicitor to forward his market appraisal to Mrs Shackel’s legal representative and ‘to advise that I would pay for an independent market valuation for her use. Mrs Shackel and her legal representative were fully apprised of the estimated market value of the property at all relevant times. ‘Exchange of contracts was delayed as Mrs Shackel wanted to make an appoint-

ment with a Centrelink Financial Adviser and had to wait for some weeks before an appointment was available. ‘During this intervening period Mrs Shackel was approached by a number of parties offering higher prices and was free to accept any of these other offers. She did not list the property with my agency and was under no obligation to sell via my agency or to me. ‘Contracts were eventually exchanged approximately two months later on April 17.’ Among the remarks on Jenman’s website he notes, ‘And, as for the lady herself, well, she says she’s perfectly happy. All she needed was $350,000 to cover the cost of moving into a retirement unit. At her age, money’s maybe not that important.’ Q Comment: The Echo has received letters disapproving of Mr Kenny’s actions and in support. Readers should note that comment calling into question Mr Kenny’s reputation is likely to fall foul of NSW defamation law, and that Mr Jenman or his insurers must have deeper pockets than ordinary citizens in order to take that chance.

Gurning: a very old English tradition of ‘pulling a face’ dating back to the 11th century. Competitions were held in villages all over the country, at travelling side shows, fairs and freak shows. To this day the World Gurning Championship is held annually in Egremont, Cumria, as one part of the Egremont Crab Fair. In Australia the most common requirement for gurning competitors is the ability to perform the best ‘duck face’, which entails pursing the lips and raising the eyebrows. The Bangalow Big Joke Festival is holding its very own village gurning competition called ‘Funny Faces’. If you believe you can pull a really crazy face then come on down to the Byron or Bangalow farmers markets on Thursday November 8 and Saturday 10 and the Bangalow market on Sunday 25. There you will enter the ‘Gurning Booth’ and Mandy Nolan, our very own ambassador of humour, will be there ready to draw out your most uninhibited funny face. The Big Joke will have a continual powerpoint exhibition of all communities’ funniest faces. Kodak has sponsored the event and for a $20 you can have an 8 x

Charlie Burton demonstrates gurning. Photo Jules Ober

12 framed picture of yourself or loved one exhibited at the Festival and have the chance to cast your vote for the funniest face. If there’s a face you can’t live without you can purchase a 50x50 reproduction printed on canvas for $100. This is a non proﬁt event and any money will cover printing and mounting costs. ‘The vision of the exhibi-

ton is to capture the spirit of fun that resides deep within our diverse community,’ says Mandy. ‘A healthy community is one that can laugh at themselves!’ The Big Joke will commence on Thursday February and run until Sunday the 17th.

Articles The Dull and the Dutiful – Election 07

Nine runners for Richmond Michael McDonald So far there are nine intended runners for the seat of Richmond in the federal election on November 24. This does not mean there will not be more candidates when nominations close on November 1 or that some of the runners will not pull out or be declared ineligible. At the last election in 2004 there were eight runners. This year’s runners are Giovanni Ebono of The Greens, Justine Elliot of Labor, Daniel Farmilo of the Liberty and Democracy Party, independent Nic Faulkner, Craig Lees of Family First, Graham McCallum of the Citizens Electoral Council of Australia, Sue Page of the Nation-

als, Barbara Raymond of the Christian Democratic Party, and Scott Sledge of the Australian Democrats. You can view those with individual websites at www.federalelection.com.au/electorates/ richmond/index.asp. The two obviously Christian candidates in the race are Craig Lees of Family First, who ran in 2004 and picked up 1,626 votes or 2.1% of the primary vote, and Barbara Raymond of the Christian Democratic Party (Fred Nile’s mob). Of the other less known parties, the Liberty and Democracy Party describes its philosophy as classical liberalism and wants lower taxes and small government. I did their Australian Political Quiz and came in slightly

left of Labor and right of the Greens but not a creature of any of the major political/ social philosophies. The Citizens Electoral Council is perhaps the most conspiracy-orientated, with ties to controversial 85 year old American politician Lyndon LaRouche. The only independent, Brunswick Heads man Nic Faulkner, has so far spent much of his time (a) calling on the Governor-General not to allow the election as it is outside the G-G’s constitutional powers and (b) calling on Justine Elliot to not describe herself as the sitting member on her website now that an election has been called. ‘I will give you 24 hours to remove these references,’

warns Mr Faulkner. ‘Furthermore failure to remove will enable possible claims in the High Court of Australia now and after the election, sitting as the Court of Disputed Returns.’ Mr Faulkner also claims to be ‘a representative of the Sovereign People of Australia’, which may be a surprise to some of the people.

Vote with your conscience, says NCCAG According to Gayle Russell, convenor of the North Coast Climate Action Group (NCCAG), ‘George Monbiot speaks volumes on the future for humanity (“Global meltdown could come suddenly”, Echo, October 20) if we keep on with “business as usual”. He and others are stating we need strong leadership, that we need our governments to get away from “business as usual”. As Monbiot says, we need a government that fears planetary meltdown more than it fears “rocking the (business) boat”. ‘Conservation scientist and Australian of theYear, Professor Tim Flannery, on a recent Lateline program stated that we are seeing an unexpected acceleration in the rate of accumulation of CO2 itself. He warned that huge industrial and economic changes

need to be implemented quickly to slow down the growth of greenhouse gases in our atmosphere. ‘Climate groups in Australia have responded to these calls and the increasingly rapid rate of global warming. In a collective effort many of the the seventy climate groups now in Australia have put together a call for action in an impressive draft “Climate Protection Bill”. NCCAG has taken the draft bill to the three key contenders for the federal seat of Richmond, to seek their support for this truly unique community initiative. ‘Labor’s Justine Elliot held to the standard party line – good rhetoric, but can it really get us there and why are we the taxpayers subsidising the coal industry on this issue of geo-sequestra-

tion? The Nationals’ Sue Page indicated support for the concept but fell far short of the line. ‘The only really supportive voice was that of the Greens’ Giovanni Ebono, who clearly indicated his preparedness to present this

community-initiated bill if elected on Saturday November 24. We all have a choice at the polling booth to make your vote count, in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. So vote with your heart and your conscience.’

A new democracy Launched last Wednesday in Sydney, New Democracy www.newdemocracy.com. au/ seeks ‘to provide realistic and innovative alternative models of government that are determined by the people. ‘We will achieve this by engaging ordinary Australians to discuss political reform and by empowering people to have a say in the process.’ Among its speciﬁc objectives are to: promote a proc-

ess for proposing an electoral model that improves government by encouraging consensus rather than division; hold a Citizens’ Parliament to review the current political system and recommend better alternative models; and host other supporting forums that enable citizen consultation on political reform. Its high-powered supporters include former senators John Button and Fred Chaney.

aikoku is a red-faced dragon with white teeth and beady eyes that stares down at me with the weight of ages. His green torso is tattooed in swirling floral patterns unfolding like spring vines, sitting astride a two-tonne yellow and white caboose with an ivory roof, which in turn is pulling over thirty dishes behind it on a trundling sushi train. I feel a bit like I’m on some Japanese game show instead of at O-Sushi. Maybe it’s some dormant memory of the hunter-gatherer on the open plains, scanning the horizon for their next meal. I dunno. A flare of flame from the kitchen in the middle draws my attention back to the Japanese chefs and their assistants gracefully preparing the food. I watch one rolling sushi rolls on delicate little bamboo covers like bonzai yoga mats and chopping them up with some Very Big Knives. Waitress surge by carrying bowls of steaming miso and udon noodles, or plates of teriyaki tofu and rice. The constant background chatter is like rain, and there’s a freedom, an abandonment being here, lost in the crowd.

by Rak Razam, runner-up in the Nicholas Shand Beach Hotel Short Story Competition – I knew I was really in the country when I went round the back of my local mechanics and there they were slicing up a lamb. It was like a big chunka meat, y’know. I ran out of there are fast as I could. – Well, that’s Mullum, ey. You just have to get used to it. You’re not in Northcote anymore, Ruby… – Well maybe I don’t want to be in Mullum, either. – Fine. – Fine. The truth is the quiet country life is growing on me – apart from the beasties, the snakes, spiders and the bugs, and the bluetongued lizards copulating in the backyard. And having to mow the lawn. Yet sometimes I feel like I’m losing it here, like I’m living in suburban Ramsay Street. Do I want the udon again or the tofu pockets? I just don’t know. Rex isn’t shy reaching for the spring rolls, that’s for sure. In the three months we’ve been in the Shire we must have come here like, a dozen times. Our daughter, Rainbow, loves watching the train and choosing plates from it: Green beans with sesame seeds over tofu and rice; golden brown spring rolls

with a perfect crunch, and not too oily; little golden chicken pieces dipped in a finger plate of home made mayonnaise. Kanpyo rolls with shaved gourd; Oshinko with pickled veg and Japanese radish; lean shavings of salmon on balls of sticky rice; carmelised tuna and wakame the green seaweed that sticks to your teeth and has that chewy bounce to it. – I just can’t choose, it all looks so good. – Oh for god’s sake, just choose something, it doesn’t matter. – Don’t tell me what to do, Rex. Alright. Sometimes when Rex is here it feels just like it would if we were a real family. But we’re not, we’re a ‘Claytons’ family: the family you have when you’re not having a family. It’s been almost five years since we went postnuclear and did the split. We’ve exploded but the half-life is at least 18 years. Sometimes I think we’re just going round in circles and hanging on, not moving on. And we’re just making this more difficult for the girl, setting up impossible expectations. God, why does everything have to be so hard?

I take my green tea and pass it to Daikoku’s lips as he trundles along the plastic tracks, offering it as a blessing. A sacriﬁce to the kitchen God of all my notknowings. Rex wants us to stay, to try life here in the Shire. But I just don’t know if I can. It’s not like I miss the city or anything, God no. But… it just doesn’t feel right. It might be paradise, but it’s not my paradise. I have to do this for myself, make my own choices. If only I knew what I wanted… – What did you choose? – The salad. – No, I mean, what did you choose? It’s not about the salad. – Yes it is. What do you mean? – The Sushi Train is like life. Have you ever noticed that some of the choices available aren’t there till you wait a bit? And if you wait too long they’re taken. But in the end it doesn’t really matter because the train will come round again and the dishes keep coming out. So just choose already, and enjoy your meal. – Ha. You can talk. Like, it’s not as simple as all that, and you know it. There’s the girl, and what this could do to her. She’s really coming out of herself and what do I do if this sets her back? How can I live with myself if my choice breaks her little heart? And how did I end up being the bad guy in all this? Rex was the one who wanted to move here. I only ever said I was coming for a holiday, to try things out. Different people blossom in different environments, why won’t he listen? – I heard you. The salad. If it’s what you want, then it’s a good choice. – Thank you. Maybe Rex is right. The sushi train is the eternal journey. And while some people think we’re in relationships for life, another way to look at it is we’re in them to learn something. To grow and be nurtured. And then when you’ve changed, either the relationship changes or your partner moves on, to their next challenge. – I’ll miss you. – And I’ll miss you. But I think this is my stop. I’ve gotta go. Daikoku gets closer and closer. Three lights at the front of the carriage ﬂare down at me. Round and round and round he goes, the kitchen God looking over us all, taking the crumbs of our woes and loves back with him to Heaven.

The Naked Launch Da Karpo and The Black Lullaby reveal their

ALPHA 32

most secret yearnings in a double album launch at the Byron Community Centre on Saturday. Celeste Chapple, lead vocalist for Da Karpo gave some insight into

the months and months of recording and ﬁne tuning that went into creating Notes in Another Order

‘We recorded at Top Cat Studios in Alstonville with Brad Wann. It’s taken us since March because we all work and we might only get to work on the album a week at a time, or a day here and a day there. We got to the point where we’d go that’s it... and then we’d go, well what about some strings? And that would take another three weeks! It’s really been a labour of love!’ Da Karpo have become known on the circuit for their dynamic live sound and the ability to move seamlessly between genres. ‘Our sound is a combination of so many different genres. We wanted each song to have all the parts. We go from a full metal sound to a lean sound with extra percussion. With the track listings we have tried to make the album a journey, so that it always has the Da Karpo sound.’

The band has been together just over 2 years and in that time Celeste has noticed how much the band has evolved creatively. ‘The live performance for us has stepped up. Every six months or so we do a gig and feel that we have really come up a step.’ The band has a very collaborative way of writing their music, and their closeness is reﬂected in their well crafted arrangements. ‘I write the lyrics and melodies to all the songs,’ Celeste admits, ‘and Adzy the bass player and Liam the guitarist, they write the music and usually they will write a riff and then the three of us get together at one of our homes and have a family dinner night and have a songwriting session.’ The band has just welcomed new drummer Byron Goodwin

on board. ‘The drummer we have now has a real dynamic sound. It makes all the music that much more passionate.’ In their extended recording process Da Karpo invited guest musicians to the studio to appear on the album. ‘We had people like Matt Ledgar from Wild Marmalade. It was very inspiring: he was fantastic. I was sitting there watching him play the tamborine and I thought Wow! Then he played the shakers and the hand drums... he kept pulling stuff out of his suitcase!’ Da Karpo are joined by Black Lullaby in a double album launch at the Byron Community Centre on Saturday. Entry is just $25 and that also includes a CD of your choice! Drinks and nibbles from 7pm, with the show at 8pm.

LOVELY LADY LUMPS

Mandy Nolan The Soapbox

Last night I stood in my g-string and bra and was photographed front and back. I was assured of total conﬁdentiality. These are not the kind of shots you want leaked onto the net, Christ, they’re such big ﬁles, they could shut down the grid. They were my ‘before’ photos. A few weeks back I was contacted by a woman who had a fascinating proposition. My emailer claimed to have the ability to drive

the evil cellulite from my thighs and butt. (Like Jesus driving the money lenders from the temple, except she doesn’t use a big stick. She uses a vacuum cleaner). I have tried all the creams, the massage, the exfoliating – all to no avail. I had moved onto the next phase: lumpy love. That is where you just have to deal with the body you have now and accept it’s never going to look like that tight taut tanned twenty year old you used to be. (Not that I ever was, but it’s my paradise lost). I like to see my body as an undulating landscape with the occasional pothole. My body is not so much a temple, it’s more of a community hall. I have a few effective strategies for maintaining positive body image: 1. Never

look down when you are in a swimsuit. 2. Never be photographed in a swimsuit. 3. Take up night swimming. 4. When wearing a g-string, back out of the room, never turn suddenly. 5. Sex with lights off, with self only. 6. Those who have seen dimpling ﬂesh to be offered witness relocation. After the NRMA knocked back my hail damage claim for a bit of panel beating I had given up hope. (‘Honestly, my butt got caught in that big storm, prior to that we are talking immaculate condition!’) I am dead against surgical intervention. So that rules out liposuction. (I have tried a bit of do it yourself. I ﬁgured it worked on the same premise as petrol siphoning. You make a small incision, put in the hose and

go stand on a hill.) So last night I met Nancy from the Body Oasis and gave endermologie a whirl. Basically it involves popping into a white body stocking aka Logan’s Run and allowing her to run a kneading suction device all over my challenging areas. It was painless. In fact it felt more like some exotic sucking ﬁsh. I was assured that in just two weeks I would start to notice some changes, like facial hair and a penis. Only kidding. According to Nancy’s measuring tape my right thigh is 4cm bigger in diameter than my left! Holy Heather Mills, I’ve got the wrong leg on! A few more happy hoovering treatments and I may be revisiting that long held dream to be a swimsuit model. Miss Beef Week here I come!

The Re-Mains, a Melbourne outﬁt known as Nothing Yet, the Bangalow Porkers Band and trophy presentations. ‘Perko’ Perkins, himself a known footballing fanatic who kicked 2 goals in the recent Federal/Bangalow derby, is ecstatic about this meeting of musical and leather-kicking minds. ‘I’ve played the Big Day Out before, but believe me, nothing will compare to this event. It’s been in planning for months, the brainchild of the most sophisticated minds the hills can muster. I’m excited.’ A mere $8 gets you through the door to musical and footballing history. Kids are free. And if The Wave hits that night, you’ll be high and dry.

NOTIFICATION OF REDUCED SIGNAL Bay-FM would like to inform its distinguished listeners that it is broadcasting at reduced strength. Some areas may be having difficulty in receiving a clear signal. The bout of strong winds we had during the past weeks has damaged beyond repair our array of antennas on the tower at St. Helena. THE SARUZU QUARTET, FRIDAY AT THE TWEED RIVER ART GALLERY, MURWILLUMBAH

I LOVE UKE The North Coast Ukulele Collective meet up at the Byron Bowling Club on Wednesday. Bring your instrument and get down and dirty at the free monthly meeting. Social Hour starts at 6pm and music begins at 7pm sharp.

RAISING THE MUSIC OF THE DEAD Kevin Borich, Mal Eastick and Steve Edmonds bring the legendary music from two of the greatest names in rock music to life in a very special event entitled: ‘Experience – A tribute to Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan.’ Like millions of people around the world these three performers have been inﬂuenced by the music of Hendrix and Vaughan and for many years have incorporated the essence of the two legends into their own playing, becoming disciples of the style. Hendrix’s music in particular helped shape a generation. His arrival and subsequent performances in the U.K. in the late sixties turned the British music scene on its head. Players such as Eric Clapton, Pete Townsend, Jeff Beck and many more were absolutely astounded at what Hendrix was able to achieve with his guitar and outrageous stage persona. He was a black superstar that had massive appeal to white audiences then and now. If

Hendrix is considered the greatest and most inﬂuential guitarist in rock music history then Vaughan would have to be in the top ten. His ferocious guitar attack was a sight to behold. Whether playing behind his back, over his head or in the regular position Vaughan would treat his guitar with contempt, dominating the instrument and ringing every last ounce of tone from his battered but beloved ‘59 Stratocaster. Vaughan’s resurrection of the blues is still reverberating around the world today, inspiring countless players along the way. Saturday at the Ballina Hotel and Sunday at Twin Towns.

WHO’S SARUZU NOW? You might remember them as Sars, but Saruzu are renamed but still infectious. Audiences are gripped by this fiery flamenco-tangojazz ensemble. The Saruzu Quartet’s interpretation of the rich harmonies of Argentine tango, the wild improvisations of gypsy jazz and the fire and grace of flamenco, is exhilarating. Their music is evocative of a 1920’s Paris cafe scene filtered through an edgy and contemporary sensibility. Saruzu is a celebration of the musical passions of its members – renowned violinist Luke Moller, sensual flamenco dancer & fiery percussionist Simone Pope, ferociously cool jazz bass

player Andrew Shaw and laid back guitar virtuoso Andrew Veivers. They play the Tweed River Art Gallery in Murwillumbah on Friday. Tix are $25 at the door/ or secure seats by emailing kupromo@bigpond.net.au Doors open 7.30pm for 8pm show with no intermission.

DON’T MISS MISSY It’s not every day you get the chance to see two of Australia’s ﬁnest musicians in the laid back rural setting of Mullumbimby. Missy Higgins is joined by Tim Rogers (front man of the legendary UMI) at the Mullumbimby Leagues Club on Saturday 24 November. The event takes advantage of the beautiful grounds and puts on food stalls and an outdoor bar to create the kind of shows that have a winery gig or minifestival feel. The ‘...For One Night Only’ tour will cap an extraordinary 2007 for Missy Higgins. Her latest album On A Clear Night is still ensconced in the top 15 of the national album charts and is nearing triple platinum sales with over 210,000 copies sold. The album’s success comes on the back of a second top 10 hit single – Where I Stood. The disc has received loads of critical acclaim both at home and overseas. One of the world’s most widely read and respected music commentators, US writer Bob Lefsetz, dedicated

a whole issue of his newsletter to Missy and her music. He gushed about her ‘sense of melody’ and the way she ‘touched our hearts with the truth’. Missy has been based in LA for the last 2 months, recording a song for a Cy Coleman tribute album and ﬁlming a special new video for her Aussie hit Steer for the Elevate Film Festival which takes place this weekend at the Kodak Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard – the same venue which stages the Academy Awards. For Missy’s tour Tim Rogers is celebrating the release of his new solo album The Luxury of Hysteria on his own label, Ruby Q Records. This new album is full of stripped back, string laden tracks of emotionally charged lyrics covering recurring themes of misanthropy, open mouthed wonder, disease, deep admiration, loss and desperate joy, which makes Rogers the poet he is. Shuttle services are available. Byron Night Shuttle: Ballina, Lennox, Suffolk, & Byron 1300 786 738.

FRIDAY 2

THURSDAY 1

WEDNESDAY 31

1. Greta Scacchi stars in Festival in Cannes (SBS, Wednesday 1.00pm), a mockumentary about the ﬁlm business. 2. Liev Schreiber as the disturbed candidate and Meryl Streep as his even more disturbed mother add class to the remake of The Manchurian Candidate (Ten, Friday 8.30pm). This is another example of the well-known Hollywood genre of movies that start out as stinging satire on the political culture of corruption and paranoia in Washington and end up in feeble melodrama so as not to rock the boat too much. 3. Too bad if you’re not a SF fan as Ten programs Saturday night exclusively for them. After the tedium of Star Wars ‘Episode One’ there’s the jolly but dated fun of Philip Dick’s Total Recall. Our picture shows John Goodman stealing scenes from the comedy What Planet Are You From? which deserves to have been scheduled before Arnie.

A MIGHTY HEART Trying to put the oeuvre of British ﬁlmmaker Michael Winterbottom neatly into a box (compare this to last year’s hilarious A Cock and Bull Story) is proving impossible. Here his subject is the murder of Wall Street Journal correspondent Daniel Pearl by Islamic jihadists in Pakistan in February, 2002. The viewer’s immediate concern is that the gruesome beheading (surely everybody who sees the movie will recall it?) might be too tempting to deal with in any other than tabloid garishness or (as in the case of a John Pilger) to take advantage of and construct a judgemental tower of ivory. Winterbottom is lured by neither of these populist stances. Not that he is disinterested in ﬁnding a mainstream audience, the presence of superstar Angelina Jolie

www.echo.net.au

assuring a place in the broader marketplace. She plays Mariane, Pearl’s ﬁvemonths pregnant French wife, and, unexpectedly if you think of her only as Lara Croft, she is brilliant in the part. Her performance is restrained and taut, but heart wrenching too. Winterbottom wisely resists dwelling on her, giving plenty of the camera to the rest of his outstanding cast, notably the Indian actors Irfan Khan as the police captain and Archie Panjabi as Asra Q Nomani, Pearl’s (female) colleague and family friend. The reconstruction of events is fast moving and the links between informers and conspirators dense and at times near impenetrable, as mangled as the networks of communication used to commit and unravel the crime. It jumps to and fro chronologically and starkly contrasts the comfort

A MIGHTY HEART

of Westerners and the privileged elites of Karachi with the grinding poverty and chaotic, seething streets outside their compounds. Where there is misery there will always be people willing to do what Pearl’s killers did – Winterbottom is unequivocal but evenhanded in making the point. The causes of terrorism are complex, the victims and perpetrators often one and the same. Edited in a fashion to at times mimic a television doco, the tension, even when you know the outcome, is palpable but, as you would expect from a work of such integrity, it does not stoop to graphically depict Pearl’s death (Winterbottom’s sensibilities are far removed from Mel Gibson’s). The widowed Mariane’s mighty heart, her preparedness to go on with life uncontaminated by hatred, is the saving grace of what is a confronting look at the miasma in which the world has found itself. ~ John Campbell

ONCE This is the rarest of cinematic beasts – an original movie. Ostensibly it is a musical, for it is crowded with performances from the two central characters, but it is a million miles from the style of the more traditional offering (exempliﬁed most recently by the ebullient Hairspray), in which a character will spontaneously burst into song as though it were part of everyday dialogue. Here the songs, and their creation and development, are as much subject as vehicle. To all intents and purposes it is also a classic boy meets girl love story, but again it veers radically from the anticipated norm, as writer/director John FULLY AIR-CONDITIONED EVERY WEDNESDAY ALL SEATS ALL SESSIONS $8 ONLY

Carney allows the romantic relationship to not only survive, but flourish without the obligatory grunt and groan of fabulous sex. Glen Hansard plays a brokenhearted busker on the streets of Dublin. Markéta Irglová is a single mother and classically trained pianist from Czechoslovakia who has fallen on hard times. She is selling flowers (not unlike Audrey Hepburn at the beginning of My Fair Lady) when they meet one evening as he is belting out one of his numbers to an audience of nobody. Their attraction is immediate, but he is at first too gauche to understand its potentialities, crudely putting the hard word on her when she visits his flat. The guy – we never learn their names, a factor which, contrarily, allows us to more easily share their intimacy – has the most mundane of day jobs for a leading man, repairing vacuum cleaners, but he is dedicated to his music. The girl recognizes his talent and is soon collaborating with him and agrees to help him cut a demo disc. The working towards this shared goal is what drives the simple but beguiling account of their emotional connection. Enriched by the naturalness of Hansard and Irglová, both of whom are screen novices, this is a diamond in the rough which is let down only slightly by (to my taste) its rather forgettable songs. ~ John Campbell `

SUPERBAD Superbad is not for the easily offended, but look past the fabulously crude dialogue, and Superbad is one of the most consistently funny and enjoyable teen comedies in years. While it captures the energy of the perennial teenage MATT DAMON quest to get drunk and laid, Superbad is smart enough to explore the bittersweet aspects of the story. None of the characters end up exactly where you expect, and by the climax, with the two main characters ﬁnally having to deal with their friendship coming to an end, Superbad is more genuinely affecting and intelligent than any crude, gag-packed teen romp has a right to be. There’s a genuine sweetness and emotional reality lurking beneath the crude surface, making the end result both funny and oddly poignant. ~ Lounge Cinema

THE AMAZING MR ED Ed Kuepper has just released his ﬁrst album since 2001 and to celebrate he and his newly christened Kowalski Collective take to the road to perform their two set show. It was Elvis Costello who once said that ‘writing about music is like dancing about architecture’. It took Ed Kuepper to prove it. In the early 90s, a select band of music critics at Melody Maker would regularly compete with one another to ﬁnd fresh ways to praise the moody Australian genius. He is still regarded and with good reason as one of the great men of music. He plays the Hotel Great Northern on Friday.

THE HOFF IS BACK This Wednesday, The Blue Birdy at the Buddha Bar presents the New John Hoffman Quartet also featuring the sublime vocal talents of one of Australia’s ﬁnest young jazz divas Hannah Macklin. The quartet comprises of the very gifted brothers Steve Newcomb, piano and Owen Newcomb on bass, Dave Sanders on drums and of course one of this country’s cultural assets, John Hoffman on trumpet and ﬂugel horn. This will be a night of sublime music and not to be missed. Hannah was featured at this year’s performance of the Brisbane Con Big band at the Bangalow Music Festival, she brought the house down! Hannah Macklin is a

Brisbane based jazz singer, currently in her second year of study at the Queensland Conservatorium. Hannah gigs regularly with the Con Artists Jazz Orchestra (John Hoffman), the West End Composer’s Collective (Steve Newcomb), and her own trio and quartet, as well as several other bands and duos. This year Hannah was awarded the Young Musician’s Encouragement Scholarship at the annual Magnetic Island Jazz Festival. Doors will open at 7.30 music starts at 8.30 $10.00

WATCHING THE BILL Bill Callahan is best known as SMOG, a kind of dark and gritty sound that just kind of settles on you. Earlier this year he released: Woke on a Whaleheart, a marker of 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 ﬁddle 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. Bill Callahan with a trio of strings at the A&I Hall in Bangalow on Thursday.

THEATRE KIDS ON SHOW Bright Lights Performance School presents its ﬁnal show for 2007. Half your Luck is a fun-ﬁlled musical comedy written and directed by Brian Dale with choreography by Lee Purdie. Have you ever considered why some people have all the luck? Others have good looks, personality or attitude. Many people, particularly children, put their faith in wishes and are rewarded, while others are left disappointed. This is the story of Cassie and her brother PJ. Cassie is your average girl. Friendly, thoughtful, a little shy but with a talent for dancing! Her brother PJ is not only popular and highly promising but also incredibly lucky. Cassie has friends. There are her dancing partners, Chloe and Courtney. A boy named Harold who is rather keen on her. Finally there is her best friend, Zelda. Zelda is different. PJ also has friends. There are the girls, Casey and Chelsea, the school bullies, Bulldog and Bluey and just about everyone else in the entire universe. In fact, in a parallel universe there exists various agencies that distribute luck, beauty, personality and wishes. All of these agencies are concerned about the health

and welfare of their favourite boy, PJ Stahr. Cassie and her friends set out to solve the mystery and discover the secret of PJ’s luck and success. Be prepared for several surprises on their journey of discovery. Thursday and Friday at the Byron Community Centre. Show at 11am and 7.30pm. Tickets available at the door prior to each performance or call 6680 7860. Adults $12 students $6

ACTING UP Actor Todd MacDonald is taken on an emotional roller coaster ride every time he performs in the play Construction of the Human Heart. The play charts the relationship of Him (Todd MacDonald) and Her (Maria Theodorakis) – two playwrights attempting to deal with the death of their only son Tom. MacDonald says the honesty of the writing and rawness of the content makes for a powerful experience as an actor. The couple reads scenes to each other from a script, scribbling changes as they go, making it unclear to the audience if they are watching a rehearsed reading or the start of the play. The text also places trust in the audience to construct the story themselves with

the aid of suggested line improvements from Him and Her, as the playwrights manically throw themselves into writing their story. MacDonald is no stranger to television, having made appearances in Neighbours over the last 10 years, as well as The Secret Life of Us and Blue Heelers. Catch the performance at the Star Court Theatre, in Lismore on Friday at 8pm and the Bangalow Catholic Hall on Saturday at 8pm. Tickets are available online at www. norpa.org.au or by calling the NORPA box ofﬁce on 1300 066 772.

the Frug The Frug comes to us from the wild swingin’ Sixties and had its birth in an earlier dance, The Chicken. It mostly involves hip movements while standing still and the addition of arm movements led on to The Swim, The Monkey, and The Watusi. Perhaps the most vigorous example is seen in ‘The Rich Man’s Frug’ from the movie Sweet Charity, choreographed by Bob Fosse.

Some of the installations will be dealing with equine themes, so there could be timely links to equine inﬂuenza/Melbourne Cup the following week, but as you would probably expect, there’ll be strong environmental and political commentary too!

SOUL FOOD FROM THE STORY TREE Jenni Cargill-Strong, professional storyteller and director of the Story Tree Company is offering a tasty three course meal of soul food courses for you to enjoy over November. There are three different non-residential workshops on offer and they all can be done individually. For entrée Jenni is serving up ‘Bring Your Story Reading to Life’ on Friday Nov 9, from 10am4.30pm. Have fun in this highly participative workshop ideal for teachers, librarians, parents or writers who need to give readings. No storytelling or performance experience necessary. The following Friday, Nov 16, 10am- 4.30pm, Jenni will serve the main course ‘Storytelling from the Heart’. Skills touched on will be memorizing a story, ways to use eye contact, varied vocal tone, simple character voices, pace, pause, facial expression and participation. Participants will also work on telling from the heart or ‘casting the golden net’. The emphasis will be on how to tell a story rather than how to write or make up a story. Again no experience required. For dessert you can sit and relax under the shade of the proverbial Story Tree and savour its sweet fruits in the ‘The Armchair Storyteller’ Tuesday mornings Nov 20, 27 & Dec 4. For anyone interested in the art of storytelling and storycrafting, a very powerful way to learn is to simply listen – to many stories told by many tellers in many different ways. You will get to participate in fun discussions of each tasty tale and the way it was told. Feeling hungry? Each course costs just $90 or $70

The venue with six ﬂat screens for video projections, a bar downstairs and the DJj-booth upstairs sporting a mighty good sound-system is bound to become an intimate place where subculture and mainstream can comfortably merge. ‘I am open to new ideas and concepts, and I encourage musicians and visual artists to launch their new projects at my venue’, Michael points out. The lounge can also be booked for functions. You can get

Michael at michaela@ ceinternet.com.au. I suggest a ‘so-you-think-you-can-playlounge-music’ competition would be a hoot! Michael’s own ideas include karaoke nights as well as open jam sessions as long as a certain standard is kept to provide classy entertainment to patrons. Finger-food will be available alongside super-cewl cocktail trix. After all, the venue has won the Northern Regional Restaurant & Catering Award in 2005 for excellent food and service and made it into the ﬁnals again in 2006 & 2007. Located at Jonson St. opposite the top pub and close to the beach, we can expect this venue to become a bit of a hot-spot.

WITH LILITH LIKE THE OLD SUPREMES SONG YOU CAN’T HURRY LOVE, A PREDOMINANCE OF FIXED SIGN ENERGY MAKES THIS A SLOW MOVING WEEK. BUT A DRAMA CHARGED ONE NEVERTHELESS, WHICH KICK STARTS THE NEW MONTH WITH A FLOURISH…

ARIES: With November’s astral emphasis in your 8th house of legacies, savings and joint ﬁnances, the next few weeks are auspicious for overhauling ﬁnancial strategies and maximizing assets and resources. But not for hasty investments or clashing with people in authority…

GEMINI: With this month highlighting activity in your 6th house of dependents, colleagues and coworkers, it’s a prime time for ﬁne tuning your daily routines so they can more easily and with less effort give you the results you want in health, home and the workplace. CANCER: With November’s astral energy percolating in your 5th house of romance, creativity and recreation, who’s the lucky Crab then? Your healthiest strategy is getting as much as you can of the above, while keeping rogue emotions from running your life. LEO: With this month’s heavenly bodies affecting your 4th house of home, family, real estate and mutual agreements, it won’t be wise to make unsettling changes or issue ultimatums – but smart thinking to apply some of that genius for maintenance and

Broadband internet

upfront

VIRGO: An exciting and socially vibrant month for Virgos. With so much happening in your 3rd house of meetings, connections, news, networking, neighbours and short journeys, you’ll be experimenting with new ideas, the latest information, life style changes… LIBRA: This month’s star cards feature 2nd house themes: money, possessions and economic interests – making it time to give ﬁnancial matters some up-close and personal scrutiny, and creative opportunities that offer worthwhile returns more indepth consideration. SCORPIO: With Scorpio birthday energy revving up your 1st house of leadership, self promotion and change, whatever’s been on hold starts getting into gear again. Use this impetus to jump start new projects before mid-month Mars retrograde kicks in. SAGITTARIUS: This month activates your 12th house of personal investigation and self analysis, offering valuable insights into the part you’ve played in certain

misunderstandings and opportunities to resolve them. Take people’s feelings into account rather than acting too independently.

Crossword 024 by Mungo MacCallum 1

CAPRICORN: November’s emphasis in your 11th house of friends, new acquaintances and business income suggests it’s in your interests to strengthen friendships, participate in community affairs, investigate new career strategies and indulge in some upwardly mobile schmoozing. AQUARIUS: This month’s astral energy’s in your 10th house of prestige, popularity, reputation and career, so treat colleagues carefully and don’t make decisions without consultation. It’s a time to behave scrupulously, because what you do – good or otherwise– is being scrutinized. PISCES: With November spotlighting your 9th house of spiritual beliefs, education, future plans, overseas visitors and travel, life deﬁnitely gets more lively. Make the most of this auspicious transit by replying to messages and following up leads promptly.

Locall Australis 1800 288 871 www.australis.net Last week’s grandly named BlindfoldWorld Cup in Bilbao, Spain, provided a window on a skill which is much admired but little understood. The Bilbao tournament, featuring established stars Veselin Topalov and Judit Polgar, plus the three greatest prodigies of the past decade – Magnus Carlsen, Sergey Karjakin and Bu Xiangzhi – ended in a clear victory for youth. The ability to play chess blindfolded is a skill which does not always correlate to general chess strength; during a normal chess game, one is not required to keep track of all 32 pieces in your head. Experience at the annual Amber tournament in Monaco suggests that most top players can perform well at blindfold chess but, since the Monaco field stays virtually the same year after year, as a testing ground it is severely deficient. However in Bilbao, the top two seeds, Topalov and Polgar,

CHESS by Ian Rogers Play at Byron Services, Mon 7-10pm; Mullum Poinciana Café, Sat 2-5pm

were simply outclassed by the youngsters. Bu dominated the event, losing only a single game (to Polgar) when first place was already in the bag. Carlsen and Karjakin finished tied for second, while world number four Topalov played and scored disastrously, constantly forgetting the correct position and blundering games away. Polgar, a prodigy in her day and an experienced blindfold player, also struggled, suggesting that a 30-year-old’s memory may already be on the decline. Perhaps it is wrong to read too much into a single tournament but from personal experience I know that blindfold chess has become significantly more difficult as I have aged. Up until the age of 25 I could play a dozen games

simultaneously blindfold, not perfectly but without undue effort. However by 40, even playing five games simultaneously became a strain, and my visualisation of the board when blindfolded became noticeably more fuzzy. This week’s game, which sees America’s great hope Hiraku Nakamura taking apart Poland’s number one, also features the type of cut-andthrust tactics which would be almost impossible to recreate in a blindfold game.

RECIPE OF THE WEEK from Lawrence Nikora chef at Green Garage ROASTED GARAM BEEF with SMOKED BACON & COUS-COUS. 5kg organic beef rump (trimmed) diced approx. 2cm cubes 3 medium sized onions sliced 5kg sweet potato diced 2cm cubes 1 whole bulb garlic approx 200g fine chopped 3 tblspn garam marsala 2 tblspn mixed herbs 40g hazelnut dukkah 300g tomato paste 150ml virgin macadamia oil 1 tblspn salt flakes In a large bowl and using clean hands, combine ingredients until meat is well coated, using the hands in a gentle squeezing motion. Ensure your mind and body is relaxed – transferring love through your hands and into your food. Once you are satisfied all ingredients are combined, lay your mix onto a good-sized earthenware roasting/ baking dish, with at least a centimetre to spare from the top of the dish. Place a damp towel over the dish and allow to sit at room temperature for approx. 60 minutes. This will allow the structures of your ingredients to swell and meld. Pre heat oven to 200˚C, place garam meat in oven, after 15 minutess take out – gently stir then put back in oven, lowering the heat to 160˚C. Bake/roast further 40minutes – gently stir/fold the meat a further 3 times only. This will allow the meat to crisp throughout. 1.5kg organic smoked bacon (rind off) cut into 3mm strips, down the rasher. Using cast iron tray or pan, grill on high until crisp. Drain off excess lard (…otherwise keep!) 500gm cous cous. Follow directions as per the packet. Drain. Chop and add 1 bunch Italian flat parsley Mix the bacon and cous cous together… (especially that extra lard!!…if desired) Once the meat is done, turn oven off, remove tray from oven. Gently fold in the cous cous and place back into cooling oven. Allow to sit a further 20 minutes. This will allow the cous cous to soak up the juices from the meat, herbs etc. To Serve: On mesculin salad sprinkle with a little dukkah – a drizzle of macadamia oil and torn Turkish bread on the side. (This will feed 8 hungry people. Calculate and reduce/increase quantities to cater for however many.)

GRANT FOR BANGALOW The Commonwealth Minister For Health and Ageing, Tony Abbott, announced recently that the Bangalow Chamber of Commerce is to receive a grant of $181,040 under the Healthy Active Australia Community and Schools Grant Program. The Bangalow Public School and the Bangalow Cooking School were partners in the grant application. The grant will support and consolidate the Healthy Lifestyle strategies that have been developed at the Bangalow Public School over the last 4 years with strong support from the Bangalow community. These activities have included the school’s No Dig Organic Garden, Munch and Crunch Healthy Eating Program and the popular Kids in the Kitchen cooking classes. With Bangalow being used as a ‘model school’, its programs would be spread to 10 other small rural/remote primary schools in this region during 2008. Chamber of Commerce President Michael Molloy said he was delighted with news of the grant, which validates a lot of hard work by many people at Bangalow School over recent years. He said he knew the program was working when the owner of the local fruit barn told him that he can always pick the Bangalow School kids when they come in to his shop because they pester their parents to buy them fresh fruit and vegetables rather than sweets or icecreams.

Victoria Cosford Strawberries from Caboolture threaded their way through the post office queue recently on a tray clutched by a cheerful stocky woman, providing welcome distraction from the interminable wait. King-size punnets of glossy crimson fruit calling out for teeth to sink into its flesh: this now is their season. As we drove back from the Sunshine Coast the sign for Strawberry Fields was a temptation to which only limited time enabled resistance; at $10 a kilo for all you can pick, it threw up a sudden vision of my standing bare-legged among the strawberry beds, lips stained by the berries, like a character out of H E Bates. I regretted both our inability to stop there and also my failure earlier on to purchase strawberries from the sublime Noosa Farmers Market where giant punnets cost a mere $3 – especially because, back in Byron Bay, the local supermarket had the audacity to charge nearly $4 for punnets half the size. Strawberry season in Canberra starts a little later; my mother, whose birthday falls on the last day of October, manages to pick one small single one from the bed she has cultivated for decades, to eat solemnly as a birthday breakfast treat. Strawberries being available all year round have lost their specialness – or so you may think until eat one in its proper season, when the fresh is sweet and juicy and bright red all the way through. Up until the mid 19th century they were considered a luxury food due to their extreme perishability, and enjoyed only by the wealthy; once more rapid means of transportation were established and railways built they were able to be shipped longer distances and eaten by everyone. They are the only fruit with seeds on the outside rather than the inside – in fact, technically speaking, the seeds are the actual fruit of the strawberry plant and not its flesh. Cultivated as early as 200 BC by the Romans, they were sold in the 16th century in cone-shaped straw baskets – becoming, thereby, one of the earliest packaged foods. Lots of lovely folklore is associated with strawberries, unsurprisingly related to love and sex: they were a symbol for Venus because of their heart shapes and their colour; and in provincial France were regarded as an aphrodisiac, with newlyweds always being served a cold strawberry soup. I recall with a flinch of embarrassment sending out from a restaurant kitchen where I once worked a pink strawberry risotto in the shape of a heart to an awful man I happened to briefly fancy. At our place, Florian has suspended hanging gardens of strawberries in pretty baskets, and each day I am seeing a new little white flower. Growing strawberries is not difficult and unlike any other fruit the return is quick: plants set out in late summer will provide a crop the following one. The actual season only lasts three or four weeks, so should be seized! Eating them raw is best – with perhaps a sprinkling of sugar or balsamic vinegar to intensify their sweetness, and a little dish of cream. Or alternate thinly sliced strawberries with peeled and thinly sliced cucumber on a plate, seasoned with pinches of sugar and salt, lots of freshly ground black pepper and an even drizzle of white wine vinegar to accompany poached salmon (and barely a calorie in sight). Fold them through muffin batter or cheesecake filling, or fill tiny baked tartlet shells with mascarpone you have scented with honey and rosewater and top with strawberry halves. Or, if there is a surfeit of rapidly over-ripening ones, turn them into your own home-made jam, as the boys did recently. They presented me with a container of it and so I whipped up a batch of my buttery Perfect Pastry, lined a flan tin with it, poured in all the jam then composed a lattice lid. Gilded with egg yolk and in to a hot oven for 25 minutes, it emerged looking golden and glorious, a truly home-made affair.

Sports Roundup with John Campbell

A rose by any other name would still be on the nose John Campbell It was a nightmarish moment. Returning to Oz, I ﬂicked on the tube and, whichever channel I turned to, I couldn’t get away from the odious Member for Bennelong and his frumpy Lady Macbeth. On and on he droned ... and on. Everything he said went in one ear and out the other at express pace. With eyelids weighing heavy, I was alerted to an expression used by Australia’s next former Prime Minister (please god, let it be so). In terminal obfuscation mode, the horrible man alluded to he and his sterling government having ‘made all the running’ on a particular issue. I irreverently visualized him and his pea-hearted Treasurer, the silver-spooned Turnbull and the pompous Downer (in fishnet hose) scrambling around an athleticss track. For the term is from the world of sport, one of many that has found its way into everyday speech. Language is constantly evolving, lending and borrowing from different sources. It’s a lovely process, like totally sick. At the source, in print, TV and radio coverage of popular games such as cricket and football, there are any number of repeated and much loved turns of phrase employed by our favourite commentators. Many of them are borrowed too. Theirs is a tough job which should not be scoffed at. How do you think you’d perform,

given a mike and ninety minutes of rugby league to describe without a script? The ABC’s David Morrow does it without missing a beat and inserting a surprising number of Biblical references into his call. From the Old Testament

there is the David and Goliath line, universally used for a little bloke v big bloke contest, while to Jonah somebody is also well seasoned. Teams who concede defeat give up the ghost (Shakespeare used the term, in Julius Cae-

sar), and from the New Testament there is in the blink of an eye (2 Peter 3:9) and I could not guess the number of times I’ve heard Morrow exclaim that a player has gathered the ball like a thief in the night (1 Thessalonians 5:4).

But to return to our PM’s verbal water-torture. Again the question of leadership was raised, and if the interviewer didn’t suggest it he was clearly thinking that it was time for the grubby old monarchist to throw in the towel. It’s what a boxer’s trainer does when his boy has had enough and is an eloquent example of the fight game’s contribution to the lingua franca. Another is at the drop of a hat, which Brewer tells us had its origins in frontier America, where it was a signal for a stoush to begin. Being as adversarial as it is, politics provides fertile ground for sporting terminologies to take root. Between elected officials and the media there is constant sparring (boxing again) and, inevitably, whoever is least adept at working the factions turns out to be the fall guy (from corrupt wrestling bouts in nineteenth century America). As in all other facets of our lives, Australia has been colonized by American sports jargon. The PM touches base with his electorate to find out how unloved he is. Any idea that he might take his bat and ball and go home comes out of left field – why left field is considered more quirky or, as is commonly understood in the expression, unexpected, is a mystery. The PM would undoubtedly rather avoid any such nastiness, particularly the question of how he’ll fare

against Maxine McKew, and let it go through to the ‘keeper. To sell a dump has come into vogue, but meaning the same thing and more poetic is to throw a hospital pass (I’ve heard Fran Kelly use it on RN). Having given marginally more of them than I collected in my brief and inglorious playing days, it is a euphemism of which I am particularly fond. As the poll nears, we can bet the Team Howard game plan will be to run a predictable alarmist race – it’s par for the course – pretending to be unfazed by its genuine underdog status, while Cuddle Pie Rudd, hoping like crazy to not get off side with the fans, has ﬁrmed into strong favouritism while repeating, po faced, that the ALP is not yet past the post. To the Greens or Democrats will go the unwanted wooden spoon. I’ve known about it ever since I started anxiously studying the league ladder and it seems to me that it is now a generally understood concept. So it came as some surprise to learn that its provenance is not in competitive sport.

Sports Roundup with John Campbell

Great future for chicks on links Story and photo by Eve Jeffery Twenty-two girls aged from six up to ﬁfteen took part in the sixth annual Womens Golf New South Wales (WGNSW) junior development camp at the Byron Bay Beach Resort over the weekend. The objective of fundraisng in eighteen golf clubs from the border to Grafton, the junior golf development program is the seedbed for future champion amateur and professional golfers, displayed in such escalating careers as Brianna Malcolm from the Murwillumbah Club, who is heading off to the US to play college golf, and Emily Gray, who was herself a part of the program and who now, as a trainee professional in Brisbane, has

the opportunity to volunteer her time to the project that got her started. WGNSW Junior Promotions Ofﬁcer Ann Kafer says that the camp is a great way for the girls to get specialist training while at the same time having fun and meeting other juniors. ‘The purpose of the camp is to get the girls together with other girls who enjoy golf,’ says Ann, ‘many of these girls are the only junior girl in their club.’ The girls get a good taste of the sport, with fun and games as well as ﬁrst class coaching from a variety of sources, including lessons in chipping, putting, the short and long game as well as the rules and etiquette of the game. Also as part of the pro-

gram, the girls receive a computerised swing analysis by Jack Newton, Junior Foundation coordinator and Mullumbimby Golf Club Pro, Damian Webber. The girls, who came from the Casino, Murwillumbah, Ballina, Ocean Shores, Mullumbimby and Byron Bay clubs, enjoyed an overnight stay at the resort as part of the program and got to hone their skills alongside NSW State Junior Squad member Jessica Dengate from Mullumbimby and Murwillumbah Club player Sheridan Gorton, who is also a member of the NSW Primary Schools State Team. You can discover more about junior golf development at your local club or by visiting www.wgnsw.org.au

Kiaron Assan in his sea of ribbons, medals and trophies.

Story and photo by Eve Jeffery The hardest part about being a natural at everything is having to choose what it is you want to do. This is the dilemma that faces twelve year-old Brunswick Heads student Kiaron Assan. Kiaron is in the enviable position of being a champion sprinter, long and high jumper as well as being an excellent rugby, cricket, softball and soccer player, in which he represents his school. While he is in the process of ﬁnishing off his primary education, Kiaron, who was the boy champion at his school athletics carnival, has taken time out of classes in the last few months to become not only the zone boys’ champion at Kingscliff

in August, but the regional champ at the September carnival in Coffs Harbour. The next step for Kiaron is when he and mum Kim travel to Sydney, where he will compete at the famous Homebush Olympic Stadium in the Primary Schools State Finals, and hopefully become the state boys’ champion. Kiaron, whose heroes are the Socceroos, Cathy Freeman and local runner Kurt Mulcahy, has so far blitzed his competition, running a 14:13 hundred metres and jumping 147 cm high and 4.62 metres long, and will compete in all three events in Sydney. ‘I enjoy them all, but the 100 is my favourite,’ say Kiaron. ‘Each event is a new experience.

The North Coast Academy of Sport (NCAS) is seeking a manager and two apprentice coaches for its high proﬁle netball program. The program aims to assist the individual development of each athlete (aged 15 – 18 years) so that they might progress further in the sport. Underpinning the Academy program is the support of the regional associations of Ballina, Brunswick-Byron, Bellingen, Casino, Coffs Harbour, Grafton, Kyogle, Lismore district, Lower Clarence, Macleay, Murwillumbah, Nambucca Valley and Woolgoolga. Applicants should be associated with one of these associations. Selection of athletes for the 2007-08 squad took place on the weekend of October 20-21, having attracted 60 trialists. The

squad of around 24 will be announced shortly. The program will be conducted over 12 days of activities presented by locally based coaches, a program manager and consultants. All program staff positions are voluntary. Apprentice coaches will support the assistant and head coaches while at the same time developing their own coaching skills under the mentorship of NCAS Netball head coach, Maureen Clarke. The manager’s role, which receives a small honorarium, is to coordinate the administrative functions of the program in conjunction with the NCAS ofﬁce staff. Applications, which close on Monday, Nov 5, can be obtained by downloading an information pack at www. ncas.org.au or phoning the NCAS on 6620-3073.

Breast cancer update breast cancer in mothers who were given DES and the daughters who were in utero at the time DES was administered. The Byron Bay Breast Cancer Support Group is keen to hear from people who may fall into either of these categories as the recommendation is for people to have a yearly breast scan and checkup and have any changes checked early even if there has been a recent normal scan done. Exposure to DES also increases the risk of developing cervical cancer and a speciﬁc DES pelvic scan is recommended yearly.The Cancer Council research also shows that eating two fruits and five vegetable serves per day, reducing alcohol intake and getting regular exercise can reduce the risk of developing breast cancer signiﬁcantly. The BBBCSG is continuing to celebrate Breast Cancer Month with the commencement of a free ‘Living Well With Breast Cancer Meditation Course’. The group meets on the third Wednesday of each month from 12.30 til 2.30 at the Byron Senior Citizens Hall. For inquiries re both groups please phone Barb on 6685 4748.

At the recent Breast Cancer Day in Byron Bay, volunteers from the Byron Bay Breast Cancer Support Group gave out information and spoke with many members of the community about breast cancer issues throughout the day and many signed the petition to have the radiation and cancer unit promised for Lismore to open in 2008, to commence in construction. Greens MLC Ian Cohen tabled 20,000 signatures in Parliament last week in support of having the unit built. Currently people have to travel to the Tweed for treatment and with patient transport for these people being non existent in the area, they have the options of a friend or relative driving them up and back every day for ﬁve or six weeks. Some drive themselves, which is very dangerous as radiation can lead to extreme fatigue and some people opt to just not have that part of the treatment. The Cancer Council has recently released a position statement saying that Diethylstilbesterol (DES is a synthetic oestrogen given to many women in the 1950s and 60s to prevent miscarriage) increases the risk of

Literacy skills are something that many of us take for granted. We use these skills every day, perhaps to read the paper, ﬁll out forms, pay bills or do the banking. However, the sad truth is that not all Australian Adults have been able to connect with literacy learning opportunities at school. Many experienced disrupted schooling, a different style of learning to that ‘in vogue,’ or a myriad of other reasons. Many adults would prefer a more private, communitybased teaching and learning opportunity. In response, the Kingscliff TAFE is offering a course that will help the participants to develop the skills and knowledge necessary to tutor, in a voluntary capacity, in a range of educational and community settings. A Literacy issue is intensely private for many individuals who may suffer feelings of embarrassment, pressure to perform or general insecurities about themselves that may stop them seeking help. This is why community based education is so important. The Minister for Education and Training, John Della Bosca said, ‘The time is right to recognise the important contribution adult and community education providers make in enriching their communities. Community education contributes

to strong and resilient communities, provides opportunities for learners to grow and achieve their goals and is a key part of the continuing development of a skilled workforce.’ The course offered by Kingscliff TAFE ‘Tutoring Adult Foundation Skills’ has no formal entry requirements, but a genuine and enthusiastic desire to help and teach adult learners is essential. The course is also accepted as a qualification enabling participants to perform as volunteers in the Department of Education and Training in-school tuition program. Participants will be trained to define the roles and responsibilities of an adult literacy tutor, access their own skills for tutoring, and develop strategies to tutor learners with literacy needs. The course is part time and consists of seven consecutive Thursdays (3-6pm) plus fifty hours of fieldwork. This course is exempt from the TAFE NSW fee although students may wish to purchase a textbook for $20. Interested applicants should attend an information and enrolment session at Kingscliff Campus of the North Coast Institute of TAFE 3pm on Thursday October 25 (room FG12) or contact Sharyn Lane on 6674 7267.

All done with mirrors? Top-hatted Greens candidate Giovanni Ebono admires Alan Roberts’s solar concentrator at the Eagle Farm open day at Tyagarah on the weekend. Ebono reckons clean, renewable energy can power Australia and replace the contribution that coal currently makes to our economy. ‘Both establishment parties fudge the figures on coal and perpetuate the myth that we need centralised industrial power stations to provide baseload,’ he said. ‘Solar thermal power can provide the nation’s electricity needs, and create an export industry to deliver over 100,000 new jobs.’ Alluding to the loss of three separate world leading developments in solar cells and solar thermal generation, Ebono said, ‘Australian technology is now making millions for German, Chinese and US companies. It was driven out of this country by this government’s obsession with clean coal and uranium exports.’ Photo Jeff ‘The Sun Is The Same In A Relative Way’ Dawson

Q Q Q Q Police can now issue you with ‘on the spot’ fines for minor criminal offences, freeing them up of a lot of paperwork, or so the story goes. These offences include offensive language, offensive conduct, obstructing traffic and breaking into a car. Fines range from $150 to $350. You have 21 days to pay the fine or elect to have the matter herd in the court. One man’s offensive language is another man’s routine backchat.
