Sam knows more than the science of spoons

Dressing for the planet Margo Sutton

Story & photo Lou Beaumont It’s a sign you’re getting on when you are impressed with a teenager’s maturity. Sixteen year old Sam Wightman from Mullumbimby High is a kid who clearly knows himself and is quietly proud of his achievements. As he should be. Sam just won second prize with his Year 10 Student Research Project (SRP) at the STANSW Young Scientist of the Year Award in the Earth Science and Environment division. And while he is obviously conscientious, he is no nerd. In fact, the contrary is true – he is socially adept, quite the charmer. Wightman’s winning experiment titled ‘Corn Growth and the Effect of a Recyclable Material on Countering Soil Salinity’, submitted by MHS Head Science Teacher Mrs Dawson, investigated the effect of varying pro-

portions of newspaper mulch and soil on the growth of the corn and the salinity of the soil. Sam found a balance of mulch and soil the best bet for fast corn growth. Too little mulch meant high salinity, slow corn growth and long roots (as they stretch to ﬁnd water in the soil). Too much mulch was too much of a good thing as although the corn shot up, growth soon halted as the roots ran out of soil to grow in. Once assured that no Echos were harmed in the mulching process, I asked him what inspired him to conduct this particular experiment. ‘The soil salinity problem in the Murray-Darling basin was in the news a lot at the time so I decided to do an experiment that was relevant and topical.’ This experiment also won him

the Year 10 SRP prize at school this year. Wightman also took out the Year 9 SRP Prize last year. Sam has always been into the sciences, in fact for three years in a row he and a team from MHS have achieved second, ﬁrst and second place consecutively in the Tournament of Minds competition in the Maths & Engineering category. The prize for coming second in a division of the Young Scientist Award was some prize money and vouchers. But the biggest prize for Sam was to be presented with his certificate at the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney surrounded by his peers. Sam met and played mind games, such as spoon bending, with science celebrity Dr Karl Kruszelnicki and Richard Saunders, past president of Australian Skeptics.

Sam’s dad, Peter Wightman, said his son’s spoon bending is becoming a bit of a habit: ‘Sam likes to practise his skills during the washing up, as well as investigating Newton’s Law of Gravity on the plates!’ Sam hopes to pursue a combination of science and law at university and is keen to make a difference in the ﬁelds of earth and environmental science. Sam told The Echo, ‘I was proud to be representing public schools at the awards in Sydney. I really want to thank all of the sponsors too as it is great young scientists are supported in this way.’ It could be our planet and our climate has something to look forward to with this guy in its corner. Hopefully other young adult minds also will be inspired to look closer at the nature of things.

Here at The Echo the (women) workers unite when we meet and greet. Our ritual hellos are followed by something like this: ‘Love your dress/top/pants/shoes/earrings/bag.’ ‘Thanks,’ is the reply, followed, quite proudly, by ‘found it at Vinnies/opshop/market/ preloved clothes shop.’ It has been ever thus, and we are proud of our ability to dress attractively at low cost. It’s not only that some of us can’t afford expensive new clothing, it’s that incessant, overpriced consumerism is not for us. Now that Life on Earth is heading towards Death by Greed, even the most egotistical have to take notice. Mindless magazines like No Idea, Women’s Daze and Vague are still relentlessly portraying people in expensive new clothes, but there are a few signs of hope. Eco-fashion is a growing trend in well-off countries. In England, for example, the Shaftesbury Youth Club had exposure on national TV when its Eco Fashion Project made it onto the catwalk recently on World Environment Day. Kids from 9 to 19 recreated clothes from stuff donated from a local Green Community Shop. Outﬁts included a skirt made from an old badminton net and a reconstructed Armani dress. Rebecca Earley, associate director of the Textile Futures Research Group based at the Chelsea College of Art and Design in London, investigates new techniques and theoretical approached to environmentally friendly textile design. Her focus is the reuse and recycling of fabrics and the reduction of chemicals and waste in small production runs. Here are some of her facts: • cotton cultivation accounts for around 10% of all pesticides and 20% of all insecticides used in agriculture; • cotton farmers experience everything from rashes to blindness continued on page 2

Many families have been involved with the ground for many years so it will be extremely valuable to have input from the community regarding its future.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

The Trust has engaged Good Nature, a small consultancy, to undertake the Plan of Management, within which results of discussions with the public will be incorporated. The Trust is keen to look at various areas of consideration relating to the ground such as the rich historical perspective, the economical component, access

and usage, infrastructure and of course the site plan â&#x20AC;&#x201C; how to best use the space. Those interested in having a say or hearing what others have to say are invited to join the Trust for a free sausage sizzle at the open meeting which starts at 10am on Sunday November 25 in the Food Hall at the Mullumbimby Showground.

Byron Bay braces for schoolies inďŹ&#x201A;ux Members of the Byron Bay Liquor Accord comprising licensed pubs, clubs, restaurants and hostels in the Byron Bay area are preparing for the inďŹ&#x201A;ux of schoolies over the coming weeks. In partnership with the ofďŹ ce of Liquor Gaming & Racing the Byron Bay Liquor Accord is hosting a free Responsible Service of Alcohol refresher course for all staff of licensed venues in the Bay on Tuesday November 13, 10.30am-12pm at the Community Centre. Accord coordinator Gary Charles says the refresher course will be an excellent reminder to staff of licensed premises of their responsibilities before schoolies begins. In addition the ofďŹ ce of Liquor Gaming & Racing as part of the Tweed Byron

Alcohol Response Task Force will be in the Byron Local Government Area over the next few weeks to conduct overt and covert audits. The audits will focus upon the sale and supply of alcohol to juveniles. In other news the NSW government is keen to emphasise to schoolies the risks and requirements for safe partying. The latest accessory to a good time is the new Schoolies button just launched on www.druginfo.sl.nsw.gov.au. The Schoolies button has been added to the website to deliver a one-stop-shop approach to the latest news, alerts and general information, targeted at school leavers, parents and carers. The Schoolies section includes â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Tips for staying safeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; which cover partying

risks and how to avoid them, alcohol and drugs, sexual violence and general safety, as well as requirements for proof of age, alcohol consumption and state laws. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;This new section provides the essential links to promote a safe, informed and fun celebration so students, parents and carers can be aware and prepared for the issues that can and do occur,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said Kate Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Grady, drug info @ your library coordinator, State Library of NSW. With Schoolies in NSW running from November 26 to December 4, www.dru-

ginfo.sl.nsw.gov.au is providing a timely resource that can be accessed from anywhere and at any time of the day or night. The website is a community resource supported by a collection of hard copy drug and alcohol resources available in all NSW public libraries. drug info @ your library is a joint initiative of the State Library of NSW and Community Drug Strategies Branch, NSW Health. No doubt the nurses at Byron Bay hospital will be preparing themselves for some interesting times as well.

The Mullumbimby Showground Trust is inviting everyone to have their say on the future of the showground. An open community forum will be held on Sunday November 25 to discuss ideas and issues that may directly inďŹ&#x201A;uence the development of the Plan of Management for the showground. Gavin Brown of the Mullumbimby Showground Trust Committee, pictured, told The Echo, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The showground is one of the most under utilised and under resourced local areas. It is a wonderful space and it would be great to hear the publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s input into how we can better use it.

Future of bridge under cloud Story & photo Lou Beaumont Byron Shire Council is proposing replacement of Opossum Creek Bridge on Possum Creek Road. It is currently closed while consultants undertake detailed assessment and design works. Council appointed consultants, who began work the day after bridge closure, have been asked to consider the feasibility of repairing the bridge and reporting the means by which this could take place and at what cost. The consultants will also undertake preliminar y design and costing for a new bridge and present options for consideration prior to embarking on ﬁnal detailed design drawings. One Friday Hut Road resident, Robyn Bekker, is more than a little concerned that the bridge will be closed forever. Ms Bekker told The Echo, ‘I am concerned that the trafﬁc counter that council has installed at the eastern end of Possum Creek Road (near the highway) will give

a “false” reading in that they will only be measuring resident trafﬁc with no real indication of its use as a thoroughfare as the road is only accessible to residents now. ‘There could be some dramatic consequences if the bridge were to close. At least twice that I know of the road and bridge have been used as a diversion when there have been accidents on Friday Hut Road. Occasionally

State Rail attend to the wooden rail bridge near the Buttery and if both bridges were to be closed at once that would pose very serious problems with regard to emergency vehicle access to local residents.’ Full closure of the bridge was considered by Council in the early stages of proceedings but since then, according to Council’s Infrastructure Planning Manager,

Michael King, Council has received feedback from residents resulting in an exclusion of that option. In a letter sent to those affected by the bridge closure, Council invites residents to provide comments with regards to the need for the bridge and whether it is to be rebuilt in its current form. The investigation and design process will take a number of months.

Ballina MP calls for action on radiotherapy unit Last week in Parliament, Ballina MP Don Page called on the NSW government to expedite the construction of the Radiotherapy Unit at Lismore Base Hospital. This comes on the back of the federal gover nment’s announcement they will kick in another $2million on top of the $8 million they have already committed to the project. He said the radiotherapy unit will be a regional facility designed to care for people on the coast as well as those inland. ‘I welcome the Deputy Prime Minister Mark Vaile’s announcement and urge the State Labor Government to get on with this project to enable them to take up this offer,’ Mr Page said. The federal funding comes

on the proviso that construction of Stage 2 commences in 2008. ‘The capital budget for the radiotherapy unit was $16 million when originally announced in 2004,’ Mr Page said. ‘That has now blown out to $23 million due to the state government’s lack of action. ‘This project is a priority for the Northern Rivers region, but the state government keeps putting it on the back burner. Their original promise was for the unit to be completed by January 2008. With construction not even under way that is clearly not going to be the case. ‘The situation at the moment means that public cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy treatment are required to travel to Coffs

Grammar guru spells it out

Cody gets the call to uni

How to write concise, punchy prose that gets the message across, accurately and effectively? First lesson will always be, understand the grammar. Grammar and punctuation are the hammer and nails equivalent of the writer’s toolkit and a sound understanding of them both is not just desirable for writers, it’s essential. Grey Areas and Gremlins: A Grammar and Punctuation Refresher is a two-day workshop with leading editorial-training consultant and grammar guru Deb Doyle. This workshop, presented by the Northern Rivers Writers’ Centre, is for writers of creative texts as well as all professional documents such as brochures, speeches, reports, theses, websites and formal correspondence. Secondary teachers, language teachers and anyone who uses the written word in

Imagine being so successful in your chosen field that a university would admit you from Year 11 without having to do the HSC. This might be a dream for many of the Year 12 students who have just finished the stress of their final exams but for Byron Bay High School student, Cody Butler, it is a reality. Cody, who is a singer songwriter and consummate performer, had her life change when she auditioned for the Bachelor of Popular Music at Griffith University. She was accepted and will commence her degree next February. ‘It’s amazing how everything could change within 20 minutes,’ Cody reflected on her escalation to university. Cody had been an active member of the school community throughout her High

Deb’s definitive grammar workbook is included in the cost. Strong writing style lends flair, authority and a sharp competitive edge. Send an employee or enrol yourself to

Cody’s powerful voice, songwriting skills and dedication to her music will ensure that she will be a performer to keep an eye out for in the future.

Are your children cracking up with laughter at the things they see and making you laugh as well? Mandy Nolan’s Funny Kids’ Workshop will enhance these moments and turn them into onstage standup routines. ‘Kids get a huge amount of amusement from everyday life that may appear to adults as peculiar,’ says Mandy. ‘It’s important to remember that the view from down there creates a totally different angle. This view, one that we have either overlooked or forgotten, is the source of amazing humour. ‘One of the best things about the Funny Kids workshop is that it gives every

child three minutes to shine. Often at kid’s shows there are ﬁve stars and your kid winds up wedged in the back row. Here every child gets a spotlight position as the star performer.’ This year Mandy is work-

ing in conjunction with the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and there is an opportunity for those 14 years and over to go to Brisbane to participate in the ‘Class Clowns’ Queensland ﬁnal.

Funny Kids comedy workshop runs January 21-23, 2008, and includes two rehearsals and a one-toone writing session with Mandy. The young standups then get to perform their three minute set at The Big Joke Comedy Festival in Bangalow on Saturday February 16. The workshop costs $120, limited places available. Workshops are divided into two age groups – Group A: 8 to 10 year olds and Group B: 11 – 16. Contact Mandy Nolan at mandy@mandynolan.com. au or telephone 6684 3443 for bookings and to discuss how this course may suit your child.

This year Federal Community Children’s Centre has undergone a number of positive changes that have reaped rewards and successes. Federal and the wider community is celebrating their accomplishments with an Open Day on Saturday November 17 from 10am to 2pm. It is a familiy fun day to showcase what the centre has to offer for families with children aged 3-12. FCCC

provides a quality Preschool and Long Day Care service as well as an After School Care service known as ‘Kidzone’. There will be fun activities for the children, a jumping castle and a sausage sizzle lunch. It will also be the ofﬁcial opening for the newly built playground structure – a great new play space for climbing and balancing. The community is invited to come along and chat to the

teachers and other parents, take a look around and enjoy themselves. Past students can reminisce and new families can be introduced to each other. The Centre has gone from strength to strength this year, with the Preschoool program having record enrolment numbers, the highest in over 15 years. The organisation has implemented an innovative ‘School Transition Program’ which entailed extra

support teachers, external programming activities and excursions to the three local schools. Additional funding has also allowed the Centre to restructure the fee system and offer lower fees. The historic old building that was once the Federal School’s principal’s residence has had a makeover this year including painting indoors. For any enquiries, phone 6688 4371 or email fedccc@ bigpond.com.

Naren King, Crystal Castle CEO and passionate supporter of Rainforest Rescue, inspects the new Leunig designed T-shirts.

Renowned Australian cartoonist Michael Leunig has provided the image for the new Plant a Rainforest campaign now being launched by Rainforest Rescue. ‘In true Leunig form, Michael has got to the essence of what we are doing – the character is obviously getting so much pleasure from the simple act of planting a tree – something which all of us share,’ said Executive Officer of Rainforest Rescue Kelvin Davies in launching the new image. The image is featured on the new Plant a Rainforest Gift Cards which reﬂect that Rainforest Rescue is about not only protecting but also

regenerating rainforests in Australia. ‘In such a very short space even in our time, rainforest trees can be establishing ecosystems accompanied by a level of biodiversity unmatched by any other plantings,’ said Kelvin. The new Leunig was unveiled at the Crystal Castle near Byron Bay, where Rainforest Rescue has planted over 3,000 trees with the support of the Crystal Castle owners. ‘In only 18 months we have seen trees growing past two metres already and the beginnings of a whole new rainforest,’ said Kelvin ‘People are slowly waking up to the fact

that if we lose our rainforests, we lose the ﬁght against climate change. Deforestation in the tropics and sub-tropics contributes between 18 and 25 per cent of global carbon emissions, more than the world’s entire transport industry and second only to the use of fossil fuels.’ Rainforest Rescue is involved in several projects in Australia and around the world to protect and regenerate rainforests apart from those in the northern rivers of NSW. The Daintree Buy Back and Protect Forever Project has saved over 100,000 square metres of rainforest in the World Heritage value coastal area

adjoining the World Heritage area. A donation from Rainforest Rescue has helped secure the purchase of 200 hectares of vital rainforest in Ecuador in South America. ‘We’re calling on all Australians to recognise the importance of rainforests to our world and help make a difference by giving rainforest gift cards this Christmas,’ said Kelvin.

The whole of his 2004 camByron Shire Councillors had a spirited debate last week on what seemed a simple notice of motion by Cr Ross Tucker: ‘I paign was exposed as a lie move that Council does not consider the possible tenures of and his continuing claims of leases, tariffs and accommodation agreements in its merit superior economic manageassessments of development applications.’ ment revealed as frauduThe motion got up 5-3, with Crs Barham and Tabart lent. absent. A rescission motion has been lodged by Cr Lazarus Not that he was about to and with Barham and Tabart back next time one would admit it: as always, John expect a tied vote then Mayor Barham casting against it. Howard insisted that he had Cr Tucker’s intention was that planning staff not involve never said what he was on themselves in the merits of any leasing arrangements the record as saying, or if he did landowner undertakes, and this would include holiday letting. ‘In the absence of legislation, regulation, policy and it really meant something guidelines, Council is acting beyond its powers and in breach else: ‘It’s no one statement of natural justice/procedural fairness to apply an assessment that totally, well very rarely criterion that is unknown in the community it serves,’ he said is it one statement that sort in his notes on the motion, earlier referring to a particular of adumbrates the whole court case as proof that planning staff were exceeding their thing – it’s the aggregate authority. impression.’ Planning director Ray Darney took issue with that notion, Apart from demonstrating and advised that Cr Tucker’s motion would make life confusthat Howard has no idea of ing for planners. Staff went so far as to seek legal advice from Marsdens Solicitors which concluded that ‘if the Council what the word ‘adumbrates’ was to constrain itself in the terms proposed by the motion actually means, this was a it may result in a failure to properly characterise and then world class exhibition of assess a proposed development and in the granting of an weaselling, beaten only by invalid consent’.

The majority of councillors is already gung-ho in favour to office; indeed his camof holiday letting in residential zones and the shirewide LEP being drafted is likely to reflect that. Why that process needs paign slogan ‘Going for to be pre-empted by a notice of motion – without the bene- Growth’ could be seen as consciously thumbing his fit of public exhibition – is questionable.

The minefield of merit

Equally, a withdrawn notice of motion by Cr Peter Westheimer that ‘Council institute a development application system for holiday letting of dwellings shire wide as soon as possible’ pre-empts the process. The draft LEP may consider, for example, that holiday letting be restricted to certain zones or parts of zones, and the public should have time to consider that. Deﬁning ‘merit’ and the extent to which one should assess merit would keep a coterie of barristers happy for years. In this case it would seem appropriate to leave planners to do their work and then get the community to formally comment upon it instead of ﬁddling further with the process in an ad hoc fashion.

nose at the Reserve Bank and daring it to do its worst. Also, as Rudd had ceaselessly pointed out, Howard had for years failed to match growth with a supply of skilled labour and infrastructure sufficient to sustain productivity: this had added considerably to the strain. Howard was now in the position of a leader who had promised the impossible, contributed massively to the problem and continued to exacerbate it in order to fulfil his own ambition. There was only one way out: an even bigger lie than the one that had got him into this mess in the first place. So: yes, things had not turned out he way he had hoped. Of course it wasn’t

ﬁrm and experienced hands on the tiller, but the mere prospect of putting untried union-dominated sloganeers in charge should induce an instant feeling of mortal terror. Trust me – after all you did before, didn’t you, suckers? This was not only outrageous but, as Rudd noted, supremely arrogant: the statement of a genuine, fullyﬂedged megalomaniac. But, remembering what Goebbels said about the big lie, it was probably his best bet – and he had, more than once, managed to turn adversity to advantage through mammoth leaps in logic. Indeed, some of his own team appeared convinced: the member for Blair, Cam-

As always, John Howard insisted that he had never said what he was on record as saying, or if he did it really meant something else: by Mungo MacCallum his fault: nothing ever was. This time we could blame the drought and petrol prices and the American sub-prime collapse, and yes, dammit, the unprecedented success of the Australian economy, and he was actually prepared to take his share of responsibility for this last. But it had to be admitted that there were, or at least there could be, troubled times ahead, again not his fault, and not nearly as troubled as Peter Costello had suggested with his silly talk of a tsunami, but, well, the odd squall, perhaps even a minor earth tremor or two. Nothing to panic about at present, because you had

eron Thompson, opined that the rate rise might actually be beneﬁcial to the government by turning people’s attention back to economic management – where, incredibly, Howard was still well ahead in the polls. And of course The Australian weighed in with the headline ‘Business backs PM over rates.’ What the story in fact said was the Howard’s stooge in the Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry, Peter Hendy, remained loyal and that Stephen Knott of the Australian Mining and Minerals Association still liked AWAs. But funnily enough, business more generally was not

exactly delighted with the idea of interest rate rises continuing indefinitely, as appeared to be the prospect. Heather Ridout of the Australian Industries Group for one made it clear she was not amused. And the tabloids treated Howard’s pseudo apology with something approaching contempt: the Daily Telegraph said ‘Not as sorry as we are’, and The Hobart Mercury ‘Sorry, but it’s not my fault.’ The Brisbane Courier-Mail splashed simply: ‘Endgame.’ Which it very nearly is – it must be, because we’ve ﬁnally got around to the ofﬁcial campaign launches, which means that from now on the parties are spending their own money on staff and travel, and that can’t be allowed to go on for very long. Howard has invented what will presumably be his last slogan: ‘Aspirational Nationalism’ having sunk without trace, we are now to be invited to embrace ‘Oppor tunity Nation’. Kevin Rudd is still ploughing ahead with ‘New Leadership’. If the polls are even half right, this has worked a treat with the under 40s, but the middle-aged and older are likely to stick with Howard. Many of them, of course, have paid off their mortgages. The key to the election now is probably whether those who have not believe Howard’s current big lie about saving them from disaster or not. Or, as the SMH economics writer Ross Gittins more delicately puts it: ‘Mr Howard has form when it comes to misleading the electorate about interest rates. Is it going to be so gullible as to be conned two elections in a row?’

Screen time It was grest to see the article by Kali Wendorf (Echo, November 6) about the effects of the ‘screen’, TV or computer, on people. For years I have been informing, recommending, advising and often imploring children and parents with whom I work to be aware and informed about the effects of more than 30 minutes in front of a screen. It is now abundantly clear from years of research that the combination of effects from screens being powered by alternating current, and that they convey attractive but unreal content, means major neurological effects on the developing brain. Especially those brains already affected by stress, anxiety and/or low mood. There is abundant information on the web that can be found and absorbed, thankfully, in chunks of less than 30 minutes. What an interesting modern phenomena we are so comfortable with! Inviting an honoured, powerful and persuasive guest into our homes that is so unintelligent, unreal and damaging, in the form of television or computer. Good on you, Kali, and especially good on those parents who are informed and active about keeping screens in their right place in the home. Carl Moore

Value of Aunty In August this year I spent time in Java visiting my husband who was working for three months with an aid agency over there. Indonesia does not have a dole or health care system as Australia does and I was mightily struck by the natural support of family and community that exists in the Indonesian culture. They have few organised community groups as such, mostly they take care of each other. Two weeks ago I returned from three weeks travelling in Thailand and Laos where I was confronted with many things, among them the poverty in Laos but overwhelmingly the same evidence of family and community support seen in Java that is a very natural way of life in these parts of Asia. It is clear that in our western society we are fortunate to have health care and pension systems etc but our lifestyle continued overleaf

The council we love Q As a long serving past employee of Byron Shire Council and having personally witnessed the demise of consultation between management, staff and Councillors under the reign of the departing General Manager, Ms Westing, I am compelled to put on record what I believe is a lack of accountability that has happened with some senior and middle management staff employed during her reign. Had she been managing a private company she and senior management of Water and Recycling would have been accountable for the absolute blowout of costs for the augmentation of West Byron waste water and recycling plant. The fact that the Department of Commerce was employed by BSC to oversee this project on Council’s behalf does not absolve senior council management nor Ms Westing from responsibility for not preventing this cost blowout. The original tender accepted by Council was for $22 million, yet to date there has been no accurate inclusive costing figure given to the community on the total costs incurred. A figure of $28 million has been stated as the cost but I understand this does not include the wetland augmentation which was part of the original design concept. Having sat in on the original partnering and design concept meetings on the West Byron plant it was apparent to me that the newly employed operational manager was unfamiliar with a lot of the terminology being used during these meetings. I believe it would have been more beneficial to Council to have a qualified Council engineer at these meetings with experience in waste water treatment. What process monitoring results have been supplied to the community representitives, the Byron Waste Water Steering Committee, from this plant? Are the original EPA discharge requirements being met or have the licence requirements been altered? Can the departing GM describe the criteria used by the United Nations Association of Australia when they awarded Council their latest Environment Day Awards in 2007 and when 100% reuse from this plant was achieved as reported by the Director of Water and Recycling and relayed to a current Councillor when queried on his 100% reuse claim earlier this year? I would hope the next GM employed by BSC would get back to a genuine accountability of senior and middle management and pay particular attention that consulta-

tion without intimidation is encouraged between staff and management. Hopefully the present low staff morale and loss of experienced staff can be addressed by the incoming GM and this should also be part of the GM’s performance criteria. Finally I would hope he or she is employed under a transparent performance based contract. Alan Dickens

Brunswick Heads Q Amazingly the other day when the ratepayers in this shire received their rate notices, we also were presented with the glossy annual report to the community of Byron Shire Council ‘Achievements’ and the General Manager’s Message was that this council is now in ‘a strong financial position’. For years this council has bleated that it was poor and couldn’t afford to maintain this shire properly, so now with rate increases, proper management, and a strong financial position, why are we still living in a dump of a shire? Maybe our councillors and GM still can’t see the problems. Are they looking, or do they still think everything is rosy? We were told we are finally going to have a proper library, and they are patting themselves on the back before it’s done! Come on, get real, this will be the third Christmas in which Lighthouse Road still hasn’t been fixed, our parking in town is still pathetic for workers, the traffic problem has increased since they one-wayed Bay Street. As for the Byron bypass it seems long forgotten and our town stormwater drainage system has gone further backwards despite our hefty stormwater levy contributions. So hey, Byron Council, it’s no good giving us a list of your gunna-do achievements. The Manager and Councillors should try patting themselves on the back only when they finish these real jobs.

been more pressing. We are entering another summer season in a major tourist town. However, the only council facility for youth entertainment and activities in the Shire remains closed for young people. This at a time when frequent reports in The Echo from parents, police, business owners and general community members are expressing concerns about what young people are doing during their leisure time. These are the facts: Byron Council on August 29, 2006, allocated $111,000 to repair the YAC. To date this has not been done. On January 19, 2007, the YAC was closed down for entertainment because the condition of the building did not meet legislative requirements. Today it is still shut down. What do young people think of this? To use a very Australian phrase: ‘They are pissed off!’ And can you blame them? I think not. We as a community need to get our act together before we have another Rex Hunt Affair splashed across national and international media. I would hope that Ms Westing makes this a priority before her departure in March next year. In this way she will truly leave on a high note. To quote Antoine de Saint-Exupery: ‘The time for action is now. It’s never too late to do something.’ However, ﬁxing this situation is not just up to Ms Westing. It is up to the leaders in this community who can get things done to step forward. Byron Youth Service is happy to work with those who wish to make this happen.

Firstly, I believe it is fair and appropriate to acknowledge the financial management of the Council under Ms Westing’s time has been impressive.

often results in families being much more scattered and fragmented. This can lead to living in very small units, struggling to keep things aﬂoat without a strong family basis or community to support us. Programs such as the Aunty Program do contribute to assisting in bridging the gap which our western lifestyle has created. Aunty has currently lost all its funding which is in turn a great loss to our community because it means that we can no longer train more willing women in our area to become Aunties and also we lose the paid coordinators who have a vital job in the organisation. As an Aunty for the past two years I’ve personally gained so much from contact with a gorgeous teenage girl who has certainly enriched my life and taught

me plenty – I also hope that there has been some positive influence on her from me! We meet every week sometimes to pursue Aunty organised events, sometimes to do our own thing – mosaics; baking; gardening; shopping (our favourite!); going to a film; surfing which is arranged through our Aunty coordinator and is possible due to the wonderful generosity of Dean and Tam at Black Dog Surfing; sometimes we just hang out; we even occasionally do school projects together! There are more women all the time who are keen to become an Aunty and more girls of all ages who could benefit from having such a relationship. In many situations it also supports and benefits the family all round, becoming a win-win situation. How sad if this great volcontinued opposite

Splendour, wildlife corridors, and music Q I wish to respond to some of the comments made by Mat Morris (Letters, November 6) regarding the proposed Splendour in the Grass development for a trial event in 2008 and its impact on the wildlife corridor. The wildlife corridor axis goes east-west.The proposed Splendour in the Grass development goes northsouth. There is a huge carpark to the south situated on land surrounded by nature reserve, then going north a proposed access road from the carpark to the main area. That road cuts through part of the wildlife corridor. The main event area is situated on agricultural land in the middle of the corridor. Further north we have more camping and other infrastructure. Most of this setup is to be fenced off. There is no doubt that all this stuff with 25,000 revellers and associated noise and other pollution will have a very negative impact on the wildlife corridor and the adjacent nature reserve

formation re who makes the real money and how much of that ﬂows back to the community. I myself make about $5,000-$8,000 a year from various festivals, simply as semi skilled labour and I have many friends in similar positions. While that is not a huge chunk of change compared to the big picture it means a lot to us and for me that’s real money. The work ethic and management policies of Splendour in The Grass Festival would have to be the best regime I have worked under in 25 years of working on music festivals both here and overseas. At all times I feel supported, equipped, appreciated and that the wellbeing and safety of my coworkers and the festival attendees is of the highest priority. Re musicians making money and how it can be done a little quieter like on the internet, Karin. This is perhaps the heart of the matter and precisely the reason why music festivals are so

Perhaps these are some of the reasons why the Nature Conservation Council of NSW, Total Environment Centre, National Parks Association, North Coast Environmental Council, BEACON, CONOS, BEC, Australians for Animals, South Golden Beach Progress Association, New Brighton Village Association, Yelgun Progress Association and the Wooyung Action Group oppose the use of the site for a festival. After all, no amount of tree planting will compensate for the impact of 24,000 people on this sensitive environment and in particular threatened fauna species.

profitable and well attended. Music is only the all important binding agent that helps fulfil an absolute need to be physically and spiritually in the proximity of peers. But beyond the music, festivals celebrate life; how positive and productive they are is directly influenced by the policies of the promoters and the sprit of the hosts. Of all places on Earth I’d have thought Byron would want to take that positive energy, harness it and kick it up a notch. Re revegetating that land, creating a beautiful sustainable and community friendly site – looking after our flora and fauna, minimising and dealing with our waste, I believe there is nothing we can’t do and do better each time we try and no better model to try in. We just need to put our heads together and roll our sleeves up , harness the vibe and get on with it. Thank you, Karin, for raising some interesting points. D McNulty

Letters untary scheme gets shelved because of a lack of funding. What the Aunty Program needs to keep operating is a three year commitment for a total funding of $200,000 which covers two part-time staff, the cost of recruiting and training Aunties, making matches and providing continuing support for Aunties and Girls and compliance costs. That’s around $67,000 a year, which is really a very small budget. If you can fund our program please call 6684 6355.

believe – she was previously informed what it was worth $450,000. It is now listed at $613,000. The difference of $273,000 is for improvements, which I believe consist mainly of a wood fence (to separate the lots) erected so close to the house that its back door barely clears the narrow space between. The Echo comment warns its readers that they risk prosecution for daring to express negative opinions regarding Mr Kenny’s reputation. The law is an ass, as Jill Nickson the saying goes, but it can Coorabell also make cowards of us all.

Roxby Downs, home of radiation

bali antara

Kelly Raison One could have been forgiven for thinking they had stepped into Springfield, home town of the Simpsons, on Saturday upon reading a poster saying: ‘Radiation... Part of Life!’ with a big smiley face underneath. It was, however, the BHP Billiton sponsored family fun day at Roxby Downs in central South Australia where David Bradbury and a small team of loyal followers made the long journey from Mullumbimby to show his latest documentary A Hard Rain. Roxby Downs is a small town made up nearly entirely of miners and their young families. It boasts the second highest birth rate in South Australia. Olympic Dam, the mine at Roxby, boasts the largest uranium deposit in the world. BHP Billiton is planning to convert Olympic Dam into an open pit mine, cutting a massive three kilometre wide hole in the heart of Australia that will release a proverbial truckload of carcinogenic radon gas into the atmosphere and leave behind thousands of hectares of radioactive tailings – tailings which can blow over the face of Australia, reaching as far away as Byron. The intention of the two screenings in the pro-min-

ing, corporate controlled town of Roxby was to expose the miners and their families to a side of the nuclear debate they may not be aware of, including health risks to themselves and future generations. Reception to the documentary was mixed, with fairly low attendance on the ﬁrst evening and slightly improved numbers on the second. Word around town was that BHP Billiton

employees had been told their chances of promotion within the company would be ‘seriously compromised’ if they attended the film. Still, some employees did attend and there were some heated moments in the discussion following Wednesday night’s screening. To add insult to the intended BHP Billiton injury, the trip was funded by Helen Lewers, who pre-

sented Frontline Films with a cheque for $20,000 at the Monday night screening – the profits from the sale of BHP shares she had recently inherited. Said Helen: ‘It would have been unconscionable to profit from a company whose uranium mine is going to bequeath an appalling legacy on the countryside surrounding its mine and even as far afield as Melbourne and Sydney.’

THE THEME â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;ALMOST CHRISTMASâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; will ďŹ&#x201A;avour the 108th Bangalow Show, which will be held next Saturday and Sunday, and it promises to be a great weekend with something for everyone.

beef cattle in the main ring and 330 pedigree dogs entered in the Championship Dog Competition starting at 9.30am. There will be poultry, pigeons, ducks, geese and caged birds in the poultry pavilion.

Due to limitations placed on the event by the current equine ďŹ&#x201A;u restrictions, the organisers have had to put on their thinking caps to provide the usual excellent show standard. And they have done that with bells on.

Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ring events will start in the morning with the Junior Ironkids on pushbikes. All kids who would like to have a go bring your push bike and be prepared to eat a cold spinach roll, drink a warm can of coke and ride the obstacle course. Ride-on lawn mower races will be run in the afternoon with a total prize money of $1000. Anyone who would like to race their ride-on mower but feel itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a hassle to bring it to the showgrounds can contact Gordon Parker 0427 871 172 and he can arrange transport of your mower.

New events for the show include the Tart of the Show held at 10am on the verandah of the Moller Pavilion, and taste tested by judges (who may be heckled if need be). There will be camel races held on Saturday afternoon, the runners being sponsored by local businesses, and with most of the jockeys yet to ever sit on a camel, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s set to be a laugh. The winners of the ďŹ ve heats will race under lights before the ďŹ reworks. Heats will also be held from 10am for Bangalow Idol so bring along your vocal chords.

One of the most popular events of the Bangalow Show, the Stockman Ironman Event, will take place this year without horses.

The legacy of the Howard years and beyond Q John Howard has kept his promise not to increase GST from 10%. Meanwhile in Britain their Labour government has raised GST to 18%. It is any politician’s dream: a tax that gets everyone and almost everything. I hope someone will ask Mr Rudd to say publicly if he will promise not to put up GST if elected and will John Howard renew his promise. P M Brown

Byron Bay Q Because of electoral intentions beyond my control, and because it was a noncore promise, please be advised, that the Australian federal election has now been called off. Do not turn up to vote on Saturday November 24. Sorry. Oh... I apologise… I didn’t mean to say sorry! George Poulos

Dover Heights

promised tax cuts. This will only increase inﬂation and then interest rates again… the dog chasing its tail. We have plenty of money in the kick but this is mainly because of the government’s sales of public assets. This needs to be spent on infrastructure and production. If you want to know the whole unvarnished truth about the state of the economy, type ‘Australia debt to GDP’ into Google and click the News section. Be properly informed before you go to the polls and remember it’s not what pollies tell us they will do, it’s what they do that they didn’t tell us about beforehand that’s the problem, eg GST, Telstra, Work Choices, Welfare to Work. Because of the things they spring on us unannounced, the Liberal Party should be renamed the ‘Surprise Party’. Peggy Balfour

Q No matter what Costello and Swan tell us about the economy, our national debt to GDP ratio has blown out to exceed that experienced during the 1890s and 1930s depression years. We are only hanging in there because of the mining boom but debt is even closing in on that at a frightening pace. Both major parties have

Mullumbimby Q Hollow promises, too little, too late.The latest NASA based UN reports state that current scientiﬁc predictions on global warming are well short of what’s really likely to happen. One of its spokesmen stated we are too late for sustainability. To dismiss this alarming forecast would

be to play Russian Roulette and place the Earth’s biodiversity at peril. The current caretaker government and opposition have disqualiﬁed themselves from the right to govern. They have failed the planet over their duty of care and as a result cannot plead ignorance. David Suzuki, the Greens etc have been telling us for three decades or more. We must take the most rigorous avoiding action now and stop just piddling around the edges. I doubt we can ‘oversave’ our planet. Better to err on the side of caution. Peter Rae

Condong Q I think the Howard years have been a long grieving process for millions of informed and empathic Australians. Years of lost opportunity... wondering how things might have been if we had had inspired leadership. Howard and his ugly Cabinet really should be tried for crimes against humanity for their illegal invasion of Iraq and for using this fatuous ‘war on terror’ to corrode democracy, making Australians legitimate targets for retaliation.

Each election round, as he used fear and lies to win office (Tampa and babies overboard) a little piece of me died. I have been poisoned by the adrenal stress hormone cortisol, from years of frustration, sadness and anger at the injustice. I believe there will be a ‘cancer cluster’ among many people like myself, who have ingested the chronic societal pain of this regime. I can see why sociopaths always rise to power – the rest wither and die. The meek will never inherit the Earth (another lie). As I see Howard clawing back into contention by demonising trade unions and repeating the mantra of Rudd’s supposed incompetence, it makes me sick to the stomach. Because Howard is such a master of wedge politics, I can understand Rudd’s ‘Me too-ism’, but it does reveal the corrupting power of the political-corporate oligarcy, and sadly, the conformity of frightened and ignorant people. This creeping fascism has conditioned the masses to accept political lies as a given. No-one, apart from the poor Greens, has had the temerity to deal honestly with

the real challenges facing Australia. It’s time for regime change in Australia – so please do your bit to make it happen for the long term health of our people. Michael Balson

The Pocket Q So Tony Abbot believes that the big danger in electing a Labor government would be that once in power the Labor Party would not be able to copy Liberal Party policies: ‘Kevin Rudd couldn’t rely on someone else to devise a policy. He would have to manufacture policy himself and “sell” it to a divided caucus’ (SMH, November 7, page 8). Even if there is a grain of truth in this analysis of Labor Party policy making problems, what this thinking reveals is a terrifying loss of focus on the intended functions of parliaments, government policy making and ‘democratic’ processes in general. In the Westminster system of Representative Democracy (ours in name) parliament is a forum where our elected representatives come together to debate the content and enactment of policies. The parties are not the ﬁnal arbiters of policies to be enacted (and public

monies spent) for the ultimate beneﬁt of the community – the parliament is. That is, a representative democracy depends on the ability of parliament to function as a collective form of wisdom. Independents and other non-government members (‘the opposition’) should have a role to play in the formation of government decisions to be enacted by parliament. That’s why we have a parliament; it is not a rubber stamp for policies pre-formulated in backroom deals between selfinterested groups and individuals. Well, that’s the theory, but as Abbot and most of his other party cronies from the two main camps believe, parliament is the ﬁefdom of the majority party. The Abbots of the world really don’t care about representative democracy at all. It’s win at any cost and to hell with the idea of elected representatives cooperating in parliament in the interest of devising the best policies for their electorates and the broader community. How can they have so utterly lost the plot and continue to get away with it? Tom Jagtenberg

The gloves are off, the boot is in Michael McDonald The boot is in, the gloves are off, or whatever metaphor you prefer, between the major candidates for Richmond in the rundown to November 24. Nationals Sue Page has taken aim at ALP candidate Justine Elliot â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;following Federal Laborâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s late promise to co-fund the PaciďŹ c Highway upgrade at Sexton Hillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I have been ďŹ ghting for Sexton Hill ever since I became a candidate,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Dr Page said. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Until Ruddâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s promise this week, Ms Elliot dismissed Sexton Hill as a State issue for her Labor mates in Sydney to sort out. This shows how out of touch she is with her own community.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Dr Page further accused Ms Elliot and Labor of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;backing the wrong horseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; with their support for the RTAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;B-doubles Option Bâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; of the upgrade. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;When asked about the upgrade options, Mr Rudd, said it was â&#x20AC;&#x153;a matter for the RTAâ&#x20AC;?,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Dr Page said. Justine Elliotâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s use of the boot has concentrated on Dr Pageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s IR views. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Sue Page is a vocal supporter of John Howardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s extreme workplace laws which hurt working families in Richmond,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; she said. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;When Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m out doorknocking locals tell me that John Howardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s extreme

workplace laws have cut overtime and penalty rates, and reduced job security. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Sue Page supports workplace laws that have taken away conditions from working families. She supports extreme and unfair industrial relations laws that hurt locals.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Ms Elliot takes the Rehashing the Same Rhetoric in the Most Number of Press Releases Award for 2007. Greens candidate Giovanni Ebono seems to have missed the point of putting in the boot and instead spent some of his time last week at a homelessness forum in the Tweed. He did however release his partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s preference recommendations for the

seat of Richmond. The order is The Greens, Democrats, Labor, Nationals, LDP, CDP, CEC. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Labor has received a free kick from the Greens members, as it has from the electorate as a whole, because it is not led by John Howard,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said Mr Ebono. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;There is nothing about their policies, the local representative, or the promises they have made during the campaign to signiďŹ cantly differentiate them from the Liberal party.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Noting that a How To Vote card is only a recommendation, he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Voters who care about the future of Australia will vote one The Greens and then preference the party of their choice.â&#x20AC;?

Humane Society International Campaign Director Michael Kennedy has called upon all political parties to make a policy commitment renewing the highly successful and critically important, Regional Natural Heritage Program (RNHP). Mr Kennedy said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;So far in this election debate, we have heard very few words, and seen even less commitment, in relation to the conservation and protection of biological diversity in Asia and the PaciďŹ c, a region in real conservation crisis.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; The Regional Natural Heritage Program primarily awards non-government conservation organisations grants for important programs conserving threatened habitats and species in the Asia/Pacific â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;biodiversity hotspotâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; regions (which virtually means every country in the region). With escalating rates of habitat destruction and the predicted wide-ranging effects of climate change on biodiversity, the need for these grants in becoming even more urgent. A reassessment of global hotspots in 2004 by Conservation International revealed a worsening situation, with regions in the PaciďŹ c that were once teeming with endemic species and large expanses of intact habitat now devastated by widespread illegal logging and the expansion of oil palm plantations. Yet alarmingly, the Coalition government failed to renew the program in the 2007 budget. The ALP had promised a similar regional program at its 2007 National Conference. Mr Kennedy said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The $10 million RNHP has been able to supply critical funds to a good number of neighbouring states in the region, including Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s priority aid nations. Those nations include Indonesia, Papua New Guinea,Vietnam, Laos, the Philippines, East Timor, Cambodia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand, Singapore, Tonga, Vanuatu, Fiji, Tuvalu, Marshall Islands, Cook Islands, Kiribati, New Caledonia, Samoa, French Polynesia, and other island nations and important bio-

diversity sites in Micronesia and Polynesia. The RNHP also managed to leverage a further $10 million, effectively doubling the value of the program.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; The work of the RNHP contributes signiďŹ cantly to regional stability, and hence Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own environmental, economic and political security â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a matter of great importance to all Australians. Australian expertise and know-how has also been exported through the implementation of the program. Recently the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) released the Fourth Global Environment Outlook (GEO-4) assessment report, highlighting the severe pressures being placed on the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biodiversity, coasts, ďŹ sh stocks, climate and human wellbeing as a result of environmental degradation being driven by population growth, economic activities and unsustainable consumption patterns. With the GEO-4 report calling for â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;effective policy responses at all levels of governanceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s RNHP program is an important piece of practical assistance for a region under severe stress. Mr Kennedy concluded, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We urge all parties to commit to renewing this essential program, making the RNHP a permanent part of Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crucial international aid program. We would also urge a considerable expansion of the program, allowing it to contribute to climate change adaptation and mitigation activities in biodiversity hotspot countries, allocating $40 million over the ďŹ rst three-year period.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Q Michael Kennedy was a member of the RNHP Advisory Committee established by the Minister for the Environment to assess grant applications and provide recommendations to the Minister. Further information including list of projects funded by RNHP is available at www.environment. gov.au/heritage/programs/ rnhp/index.html. See more about HSI at www.hsi.org. au.

Council releases contaminated land policy Byron Shire Council has released a draft Management of Contaminated Land Policy for public exhibition and comment. The draft is a guide for interested parties who are considering the requirements under the Contaminated Land Management Act 1997, and State Environmental Planning Policy No. 55 – Remediation of Land. These requirements are designed to ensure that when land is being developed, past land contamination risks are appropriately managed. Council’s Director of Planning, Development and

Environment Services, Ray Darney, said it is important the community recognises the Management of Contaminated Land Policy is a regional response to land use contamination. ‘When development is proposed there are strict state laws designed to protect future occupiers of land, and also provide strategies to remediate land contaminated by past land uses,’ Mr darney said. ‘This draft policy has been produced to inform land owners of the processes the laws require Council to follow in considering development opportu-

nities. The information, flow charts, processes and references cover both scientific and legal terminology. The technical terms defined by the law make the draft policy a bit wordy, but the document is intended to be as comprehensive and informative as possible.’ Council resolved to place the draft policy on exhibition for six weeks to allow residents, consultants and interested persons to provide feedback on the document. The policy has been developed by Northern Rivers regional councils to provide broad guidance on effective

management of past land use contamination. Copies of the policy are available on Council’s website at www.byron.nsw.gov.au and at seven community information access points. The community is invited to comment on the draft document by 4pm on Friday December 21 so a ﬁnal policy can be reconsidered by Council for adoption in 2008. All responses should be in writing to the General Manager, Byron Shire Council, PO Box 219, Mullumbimby NSW 2482, or by email to council@ byron.nsw.gov.au, for the attention of Jon Rushforth.

Department of Lands, Byron Shire Council, The Northern Horse Action Group and other recreational groups. ‘Bridle paths can be good, if in the right place’ – Martin McGettigan, Letters October 30. True. The great majority of local residents seem to welcome the concept which will provide a great public asset for the future and will serve our community as a naturebased way to traverse our shire’s rural landscape on non-motorised pathways. Over the past eight years the NHAG committee has

worked closely and positively with NPWS, MPA and other government agencies to determine the best and most environmentally sustainable routes. It is a work in progress. NHAG representatives have attended five state and national conferences to deliver presentations, network and research best practice and procedures, eg rail-trails systems. Our local disused railway would indeed make a great recreational trail and simplify the process enormously. Correspondence with State Rail is under way for that purpose. Community consultation meetings were

advertised by the Compliance Team of BSC in the Council Notices for three weeks prior and an article was published in The Echo for maximum uptake by residents. With the completion of the current round of community consultation sessions for the second draft plan of the Byron Shire Bridlepath Project, new information and input provided by the stakeholders who attended will be analysed and incorporated into the next draft stage by Byron Shire Council staff.The Northern Horse Action Group would like to thank everyone who attended

and contributed to these sessions that will help shape the future of the recreational trail system for walkers, cyclists and horse riders. Kaya Femerling

Like paradise I felt like a bit of a drive the other day, put a few things in the campervan and took off. Taking things easy and looking around, four days later arrived in the drought ravaged town of Bourke, on the headwaters of the Darling River. I wanted to see for myself the full impact of the drought on the inland –

summed up in one word, devastating. Then back to Lightning Ridge, spent a couple of days there then off to St George, the country still very much in drought and sickening to see so many kangaroos and emus killed beside the roadway in their endeavour to ﬁnd some form of green food. At St George on the Balonne River the cotton growers water allocation for the year is just 5%. The population was 2,500 but some 700 people have just given up in despair and walked off the land. This has a big impact on the town’s business centre. On to

AEC7VS1_M6

Goondiwindi on the banks of the Macintyre River where cotton growers are restricted to 30% of their water allocation – not worth the money or effort to plant crops with that limited supply of water the crops could fail again. Off the main highway and onto country roads to Texas on the Dumaresque River with very little water ﬂow. Then on to Stanthorpe where the country was looking very much greener. Finally safely home after covering 2,634km and a realisation of how hard a lifestyle it is for the people trying to earn a living on the land in drought. How lucky we are to live in this part of the country – to the people out west it must seem like paradise. Kevin Mott

About two years ago my girlfriend and I visited Jamaica and ended up spending a week with a family in the mountains who were doing it very tough after Hurricane Ivan had torn through all the food crops. Our rent helped them buy supplies. They have seven children, all incredibly peaceful and well behaved, right down to the youngest Teddy. Last year at Christmas I sent them $200 used to buy special stuff for the kids or whatever, I don’t know. This year I will do the same, but I just received a letter from the mother saying that the second youngest, Mesha, 6 year old girl, is in hospital with maybe appendicitis and the bills are already at 25,000 Jamaica dollars (approximately $380 Aussie) without the actual operation. I don’t make a lot of money myself but I like being able to offer a little help to someone I know is going to get it directly. I am writing to The Echo to ask for the ﬁnancial help of anyone out there who wishes to offer help to this family in Jamaica. As for way of assurance that I’m legit I can offer the letters they have sent me so far, and ask them to send one thanking everyone who participates and of course a Western Union receipt to show that it went out. Please, if you can offer even $20 it can add up and I can assure you this is going to a family that would open your eyes to simple beauty in humanity. Please contact me on 0414 820 818 if you can help. Thanks. Ari Rozental

The Pirate Queen’s method of fortune telling Story & photo Mary Gardner Now the sea throws up cuttlefish ‘bones’ and ‘ram’s horns’. Is it only our landlubber culture that insists on making sense of marine life by constantly comparing it with life on land? Both items are buoyancy chambers for different squid. The ‘bones’ are a latticework of calcium carbonate and gas chambers, while the ‘horn’ is a delicate set of gas chambers connected by a tiny internal pipe. What does it mean to find these remains on the beach? Perhaps these are the innards of an aquatic system here for us to read like tea leaves? What fortune telling can we do? The common names squid and cuttlefish are both used carelessly to describe what are distinctly different species of cephalopod molluscs. Incredibly, their cousins are snails and clams. They are invertebrates, animals with no spinal cord, no bones. They have arms with tentacles. Their nervous system is complex and quite similar to ours. They have a well developed head with eyes that are as complex as human ones. They are highly expressive, changing the colours and patterns of their skin with meanings that go right by us. Inside their heads they have small calcium ‘bones’ called statoliths which, as in fish, are used to keep their balance. These also are personalised growth markers, with

rings similar to those in a tree. Squid put down a layer a day. The layers change according to how fast it grows. Counting the layers reveals the individual’s age. So we know most squid live for a year. Tropical ones average about 200 days. No one understands the giant squid life cycle enough to say how long they live. But in that brief period that squid are alive, they never stop growing. Their high protein diet is geared to create muscle, not to store any reserves as fat. By the end of the year, they become sexually mature and come together for massive mating ses-

sions. Large males try to dominate the females. But the females are on a mission for the species and accept sperm packets from many males of all sizes. They then lay strings of eggs which prove to be fertilised by different males. Different females lay their eggs together in common clumps. Both female and male die, leaving the eggs orphans. But as they lay the eggs, the female coats them with a bacterial paste which hatches a colony of microbes. These protect the eggs in ways we don’t understand, but seem to be unlike the antibiotics we use in our medicine. For all the mystery of the indi-

and tuna. But in places where these animals are fished out or declining, the squid population rises. Calculations suggest the biomass of squid now is greater than that of humans. In an attempt to manage the fishery, both New Zealand and Australia have set quotas and rules. But the squid defies our landlubber thinking. How to set limits to next year’s fishing of a stock which is not even born yet? For the infamous collapse of the Newfoundland cod fishery was part politics and part scientific: not only could we not cut back on fishing, but we did not include eggs in the models of the population changing due to fishing. Perhaps we should join the albatross that travel thousands of kilometres to the annual July spawn session at Wollongong where they go to gorge on the dying squid. The birds are desperate for food to build themselves up for their own breeding season. We are desperate for understanding. Ichthyomancy is fortune telling based on reading fish innards. I always thought marine biology was different. But maybe not. What if we start afresh with what I’ll call ‘the new ovamancy’? Let’s be watching the life cycle of eggs in the wide wet womb of the sea.

viduals, the squid as a group are an even greater surprise. The dynamics of the world’s oceans are changing because of fishing. Or more correctly, overfishing. Squid is a ‘new’ fishery. Biologists often say that as the fin fish stocks collapse, we fish ‘lower down the food web’. They imply that eating invertebrates is something ‘less’ than eating fin fish. But the real food web is somewhat different to this theory. The squid are top predators who depend on lanternfish who eat copepods who eat phytoplankton. Q Mary Gardner is a writer, biolSquid themselves are eaten by ogist and tutor. See more at www. marine mammals, sea birds, sharks mgardner.info.

Among the ancient magic of Fez Story & photo Suzanna Clarke On the surface, Byron Shire and the ancient medina (walled city) of Fez in Morocco don’t appear to have much in common. One was settled a couple of hundred years ago and is green, lush, and has ready access to the beach. You need a car to get your groceries home if you live out of town. Fez, on the other hand, is more than a thousand years old and one of the most densely packed pieces of real estate on the planet. Within its scarred sandstone walls sit thousands of flat topped houses that resemble a nest made by cubist termites. The only method of transporting goods is by donkey, hand cart, or wiry porters. Yet, despite these differences, living in Fez last year I was reminded of my time as a resident of Byron Shire during the 1990s. My husband Sandy McCutcheon and I had bought a traditional Arab courtyard house in the heart of the Fez medina, and spent a year restoring it. As we became immersed in the culture of that ancient city, I wrote a book about the experience, A House in Fez. When I ﬁrst saw Fez six years ago, I felt a sudden rush of admiration and affection for the beauty of the pale city, nestled into the foothills of the Atlas mountains. I hadn’t felt this way about a place for more than twenty years – since I ﬁrst crested the hill after Bangalow and saw Byron Shire stretched out before me in the late afternoon sun. Both locations, in their own ways, could have been an inspiration for Tolkien. If Byron Shire is The Shire, Fez is Minas Tirith. To walk those streets and alleys is to enter

another world, one that looks very much like the fourteenth century.There is a mélange of Arabs, Africans and Berbers, dressed in hooded tunics or colourful outfits. Scattered through the city are the workshops of more than 30,000 artists and artisans – painters, jewelers, carpenters, weavers, plaster carvers, shoemakers, potters, metalworkers, embroiderers, tanners and even wedding chair makers. In Fez, like Byron Shire, there is a strong sense of community. As I walk to my local market, the neighbours greet me saying, Sala’am Aleykum – meaning ‘Peace be with you’. And I respond, Aleykum Sala’am. ‘With you be peace’. They all want to chat, and my ability to do so is growing, as I slowly learn Moroccan Arabic. In Fez, it would be inconceivable for someone to die alone and not be discovered for months or years.When I stayed by myself in our house for a couple of weeks, the neighbours banged on the door regularly to check that I was all right. They could not imagine I would want to be on my own. There are more than 30 districts in Fez, each with its

own fountain, hammam (bathhouse), mosque, and school. Bread is baked fresh every day in the communal bakeries. In the markets, the stalls are piled high with fresh produce that has come straight from nearby farms. It is vibrant and bursting with life. There are no plastic packets and droopy out-of-season vegetables, fruit or herbs here. In spring the air is full of the scent of rose petals and oranges, as people distill their own rose essence and orange ﬂower water. Beneath the surface of everyday life is a strong spiritual aspect. The call to prayer rings out across the city ﬁve times a day from a multitude of minarets. Often in the Medina the drumming, chanting and blasts on long silver trumpets can be heard from one or other of the many Sufi brotherhoods. Each June, they are a highlight of The Fez Festival of World Sacred Music and hold their own against top musicians from all over the world. For us, buying a house in Fez was about far more than the exquisite ancient architecture; it was about beco-

ming a part of the city. When we completed our house, which we called Riad Zany, a local Suﬁ group offered to bestow a Baraka, a blessing, on it. On that evening our courtyard was filled with musicians and friends, both Moroccan and ex-pat. We served nothing stronger than mint tea, but as the chanting and dancing went on into the night, the lead Suﬁ called on the djinn Ayisha, and several Moroccan women went into a full trance, throwing their heads around in a way a 1960s go-go dancer would have envied.Afterwards, they said they remembered nothing of the experience – but we certainly did. Just as Byron Shire is not a resort, or a theme park, Fez is not a museum. It’s a living community. And if you are open to it, the life of the city will begin to reveal itself. It’s a magic place, and one I hope you get the opportunity to visit.

Camphor laurel: resource or menace? PROSTATE PROBLEMS? Eve Jeffery Theories abound about the how introduction of camphor laurel, Cinnamomum camphora, came to pass in the Northern Rivers area. One idea is that the original seeds were brought to Australia from China in 1822, with a mass introduction in 1855. Another story suggests that two trees, one from China and one from Japan, were planted in the 1880s. What is widely agreed upon is that the large-scale introduction of the species was a response to the vacancy left by the removal of the Big Scrub Rainforest and the establishment of farms. At the time botanists recommended camphor as a good replacement tree and it was used for windbreaks and the containment of soil erosion. The mass plantout took place to cover much of the Northern Rivers. Its value has been a point of contention ever since, and those early trees have become the founders of one of the most controversial dynasties in the area, one that has seen more bitter quarrelling than just about any reign since. Graham Lang from the Wollongbar Research Station says that in about 1910

Sawyer James McKenzie and mill owner Neil Mayne.

several trees were planted at the station. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Two of the trees that were planted along the driveway were starting to lift the road. Outside our fence they are considered noxious, so they had to be removed.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said Mr Lang. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Camphor is part of the heritage of the site and we are trying to maintain that for future generations, but the environmental side is pretty important to us. We replanted the area with about ten rainforest trees.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Six months ago when the trees were felled, one weighing in at over seven tonnes, they were offered for sale and were purchased by Bill Marshall, a passionate advocate of camphor for the last 25 years. Bill had the logs milled by local builders Neil Mayne and James McKenzie and

they now sit in storage drying. Bill says that camphor is a rich resource. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;One of the least known facts is that camphor laurel is a structural timber rated F8. Neil is building lost cost affordable cabins from a resource we are daily poisoning, bulldozing and burning.We are crying out for affordable housing and here is the means to do it. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;At the time the trees were planted, from 1880 to 1920, we slaughtered the native forest. We cleared the lot for farming. I believe the anti camphor mindset is carried over from those farming days when everything had to be pulled out, the idea was to get rid of all the â&#x20AC;&#x153;weedsâ&#x20AC;? to make way for more grass. But what a lot of people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realise is that the forest that was wiped out by the

farmers regrew under a protective canopy of camphor laurelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Mr Marshall believes that the Condong and Broadwater sugar mills plan is to clear 40,000 trees a year, that is 8,500 hectares of the species, to make way for more cane planting and as fuel for the boilers at the mills. He says there are trials at Tunnel Road, Possum Creek and Wardell to ďŹ nd the best method to harvest the camphor. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;They are poisoning 100 acre lot tracts of land. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve all seen Fern Gully. This is what it will be like.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Bill is vehement in his opposition to this clearing and also believes that the successful growth of the species gives surety of supply for more productive purposes. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Veet Mayo produces beautiful drums from camphor. Ken Staff makes cutting boards and local artist Prem makes urns that are seen in the top art galleries. With the right management we are sitting on a gold mine, all they need is appropriate pruning. A good haircut and they become more valuable.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Most people have an opinion about camphor. One sure thing about the debate is that it still rages on.

ational Recycling Week is a good time to focus on our recycling habits, and ensure we are all aware of what we can recycle, making the process more efficient. We all know that plastic bags are hazardous to our environment, but did you know that they also cause major problems in the kerbside recycling collection as well? Plastic bags cannot be recycled in the Council kerbside collection, either on their own or with recyclables in them. Residents throughout the Byron Shire do a fantastic job of recycling, removing lids, rinsing bottles and collecting all of their paper, aluminium and steel cans, glass bottles and jars etc for recycling. However, some residents then put them all in a plastic bag before putting them in their wheelie bin for collection, which undoes a lot of their good work. Mixed recyclables are sorted in part by a series of machines, which are designed to pick out different types of materials, and when they are all combined in a plastic bag this process is greatly affected. Contamination to recyclables threatens the viability of the

kerbside collection system, making it more difficult and costly to sort, and therefore manufacture into new products. It is important that all residents take care to recycle what they can, and leave out what they cannot. ‘Plastic bags are one of the main culprits of contamination to recyclables throughout the Byron Shire,’ said

Danielle McAtee, Solo Resource Recovery’s Waste Education Officer. ‘This is due in part to the misconception that they can be recycled in this stream, when in fact they cannot.’ According to the Clean Up Australia Organisation, Australians use 3.92 billion plastic bags per year, the majority of which end up buried in land-

fills around the country, whilst others remain in the environment, littering our parks and waterways and harming our wildlife. Biodegradable plastic bags, although breaking down at a quicker rate, still cause environmental problems. So the best policy is to reduce using them or better still avoid using plastic bags altogether!

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle Stop using plastic bags altogether. Refuse a plastic bag at supermarkets and use a reusable calico or green bag, or cardboard box. Line your rubbish bin with newspaper or not at all to avoid having to use a plastic bag as a bin liner. Reuse bags rather than accepting a new one. Recycle plastic bags by

Recycling makes the world of difference T

he next time you wonder whether recycling that piece of paper or that glass bottle each week is really making a difference, consider this. By recycling all the materials you can each week, you are not only contributing to reducing waste going into landfill, you are also reducing greenhouse gas emissions and saving precious water as well. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Last financial year 13,278 tonnes of recyclable household waste was recycled in the Byron Shire, Clarence Valley Shire, Ballina Shire and Richmond Valley Shire area,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said Linda Tohver Education Coordinator for the North East Waste Forum. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;In terms of greenhouse gas emissions, this converts to 6,667 tonnes of C02 being saved from going into the atmosphere â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the equivalent of 1601 cars being permanently removed from our roads. Recycling not only saves our valuable resources such as steel, aluminum and oil, it also saves water â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and lots of it! From all the recycling that occurred in the Northern Rivers in the last year, 219,929 litres of water was also saved. Make sure that your recycling is making a difference

during National Recycling Week and check that you are recycling properly in your household and work place. Your local council can help you if you are not sure what or what not to recycle. For more information on recycling in your area visit Plant Arks www.recyclingnearyou.com.au and the

Tom Gleeson is a comic who has enjoyed the kind of successes most comics only dream about. His own TV show (Skithouse), regular appearances on Rove, a twice invited performer to Montreal Just For Laughs Festival. It’s all been pretty much a dream run, that started in fairly auspicious company. We’re talking Sydney Uni, some time in the nineties, a comp called Five Minute Noodles, hosted by a younger Adam Spencer, (replete with hair) with featured contestants, Charles Firth, Chas, Craig Reucastle and physics major, Tom Gleeson. Tom won and credits this with the rather ironic fact: ‘those guys were all rubbish at standup and they will tell you that themselves. Chas was the worst. He would learn everything off by rote and just recite it to the audience, regardless of how they were feeling!’

E N T E R TA I N M E N T

a character and then I dispensed with that. I found my onstage voice basically from doing lots and lots of gigs. I’m pretty dry I suppose. But also quite complicated. I used to think being a comedian was about hitting one note, but I realised that you can be much more than that. I can be angry, ironic, self deprecating, blue, all those things and more, just on one night. ‘I try and take great leaps when I try new material on stage. I kind of don’t care anymore what happens. I don’t think I appear like I am trying to be funny, so if something doesn’t work, they don’t really notice! My material tends to get born out of festivals, I’ll do Adelaide Festival and then Melbourne, that’s two months of performing an hour a night. By the end of the run it’s pretty much a different show!’

For Tom his parents barely batted an eyelid when their clever son dropped maths studies and took up mass studies: stand up comedy.

A regular on the circuit here in Australia, Tom got his big break when his show went to air and he was invited to perform at Montreal’s Just For Laughs back in 2003.

‘I am the second youngest of ﬁve by the time it got to me they had a pharmacist.’ As for his motivations, they were pretty simple.

‘It’s amazing because you are chosen from the best comics all over the world all performing their best 7 minutes. The ﬁrst time I was chosen it felt like something I owned because up until then only comics like Judith Lucy, Carl Barron, Jimeoin etc had been asked – all these people were a really big deal in the comedy scene, so to be asked alongside them seemed like a really big deal.’ Gleeson went from being a hot name on the comedy circuit to being a face you recognised at the supermarket overnight.

‘I only ever did comedy to be funny, I never had any grand aims of changing the world, but I love being original and different, that’s for comedy reasons, comedy is about surprise.’

It was an experience that Gleeson explains with a very succinct analogy – something he’s spectacularly good at by the way. ‘I became the Australian Fast Bowler. My stocks in comedy were going up and at the time I described it by explaining that I was used to performing in packed venues where after the show someone would come up at the bar and say ‘great show mate’ and I’d say ‘thank you’. When I did Skithouse, you’d be somewhere like Lismore Coles and someone would come up and say ‘great show’. It was like you were always at the bar!’ My only question was, what the hell was he doing at Lismore Coles?

Most comics when they start out are pretty damned impressed with themselves. But no matter what a genius you might think you are, unless you have the goods, you just won’t make the distance. ‘It’s the arrogance of inexperience – it’s very different to the arrogance of discovery! You start out thinking that you are really special, and then you do a few more gigs and you realise that you are worth nothing, then after a while you think, hey maybe I do have something!

DRIVING MISS CRAZY I reckon they should ﬁlm Australia’s Worst Drivers in Mullumbimby. It is the place of some of the most spectacularly bad driving manoeuvres I have ever seen, and most of it in my own driveway. Question: When should you stop at a pedestrian crossing? Answer: When there is a pedestrian. Except in Mullumbimby, when you may stop randomly. Shit, if you see a pedestrian, why not speed up? Since moving to Mullum (which by the way I love) I have witnessed numerous near death situations. The crossing outside the Post Ofﬁce is a hot spot. One Friday evening not too long ago I saw a Mum taking her two young kids for a stroll. They were half way across the aforementioned death strip when there was a hideous screech and

a Range Rover skidded through the crossing. She let out a piercing mother’s howl and for a few moments I thought the kid had gone under the wheel. Fortunately no one was hurt. The next day a friend contacted me to ﬁnd out if I was all right because she’d been told Mandy Nolan had been hit by a Range Rover. Good news travels fast. The other day I saw a woman perambulate across two pedestrian crossings within 20 seconds and she almost got hit twice. I was led to believe that one is to slow down and cover the break at a pedestrian crossing, not speed up. I have instructed my children to run into the trafﬁc because it’s safer than a zebra crossing. Understanding the concept of ‘give way’ also seems to be a major dilemma, as is ‘Stop’. ‘Stop’ is usually

Mandy Nolan The Soapbox

interpreted as Stop, there ain’t much grey area. But in Mullum it can also mean: pause briefly or fucking floor it. Whoever came up with nose in parking must have shares in a panel beating company, because there’s nothing like backing into oncoming traffic that will neither give way nor stop, and you might even collect a pedestrian or two in the process. Mullumbimby by night is like Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome. Why are we are such dangerous drivers? We are either (a) stupid (b) unlicensed or (c) rule breakers. Have a look around. Part of the charm of Mullum is that Newtown meets Dairy Farmer feel. People live here because they don’t like being told what to do. Perhaps we need to update the signs with more appropriate messages like: ‘Stop if you

Keep your Eyes Wide Shut! NEXT WEEK IS THE ECHO’S

feel it resonates with your inner child’. ‘Hey like, if you don’t mind, it would be cool if you could sort of give way, but only if that’s cool with you, man.’ I prefer my own signage at pedestrian crossings, ‘Free Pot Here’. Now that’ll stop em every time! The only problem will be getting them moving again.

Come on a Journey with Archie Roach Archie Roach is an inspiration, both as a musician and as a human being. It has been his tireless challenge to keep Reconciliation a current public issue, to redefine it away from the landscape of empty politicking, and connect white Australia with the flesh and blood story of indigenous Australia. A few years back reconciliation was a hot topic, but right now it’s something that seems to have slipped from the political agenda. ‘It’s been put aside because of other things and the government right now is focused on other issues. The journey I made with Pete (Postlethwaite) was all about reconciliation and finding the true meaning of establishing it with a relationship to people, not just bandying the word about. The people need to take it back. The film we made is about the journey and the songs on the album are from that journey.’

The trek made by Patrick Dobson, Archie Roach and English actor Pete Postlethwaite was captured in the documentary Liyarn Ngarn. It’s a compelling tale of racism and a plea for a new future in black/white relations in Australia. In the language of the Yawuru people of the West Kimberly region. Liyan Ngarn means ‘coming together of the spirit, or spiritual bonding. Archie’s latest album is a legacy to those indigenous Australians who have lost lives through sheer inhumanity. It still seems inconceivable that in 2007, there are still two very distinct Australias; white Australia and black Australia. Black Australians must face higher levels of incarceration, poverty, less access to adequate housing, and now thanks to the Howard government’s most recent move, some communities are subjected to income quarantining. Archie Roach turns suffering into hope and art – something our country needs right now. We can be healed and reassured by one of this country’s great songwriters and singers, with a voice in the league of Ray Charles or John Lee Hooker, Archie Roach is the elder statesman of Aboriginal music. Archie Roach launches his album Journey at the Byron Community Centre on Thursday with special guest performers Shane Howard, Dave Arden and Amos Roach. Tickets are available at the venue.

CARUS & LOREN ON THEIR ROOTS ROADSHOW AT THE GREAT NORTHERN ON 16 DECEMBER

(live Music) YOU ROCK Let’s just say that you’ve always wanted to be in a band. But you’re embarrassed about your very average guitar playing. Man when you are alone in the bedroom after a few beers playing your lead solo in your undies, you are a rock god. But come morning, it’s just another broken dream to butt out and store in an old shoe. How do you get the conﬁdence to take that average ability and make it something better. Because basically, everyone starts off at everything they do as a beginner. The Art of Music is a music workshop that is about empowering people to freely create the music, whether they already know they are inherently capable or not. It’s a two day workshop for music lovers of all levels, from absolute beginner to professional. Participants experience and learn a powerful structure that empowers them to bypass limiting beliefs and patterns that can prevent them from achieving their music aspirations, or from even learning how to play. What they learn is a method to avoid the head-trip that can stand between dreaming about creating music and actually doing it. The next Art of Music workshop will be held in Byron Bay on 8 & 9 December, and will set you back $370. For more information,

GETTING ROOTS ON THE ROAD Some of the country’s best roots are coming your way. Carus & The True Believers, Loren & The Grow Your Owns and Rob Sawyer are jumping on the tour bus for their second annual Roots Roadshow. These guys are the holy trinity of the roots movement and are very much the favoured sons of the live circuit. They’ve each built a unique audience through unrelenting touring and performances that keep people coming back, their eyes Oliver wide begging: ‘Please sir, can we have some more!’ Carus & The True Believers released their Three Boxes album to massive acclaim and glowing 4-star reviews such as the West Australian Newspaper stating ‘Australia has been waiting for Three Boxes.’ Loren & The Grow Your Owns also released their new album Slow Burn, of which the ﬁrst single On By Day received solid rotation on the Triple J and young Rob Sawyer has just returned from his second tour de France where he completed the circuit on an acoustic guitar. The Roots Roadshow at the Hotel Great Northern on Dec 16.

ALABAMA 3 The Alabama 3’s origins are shrouded in myth. For a start there are 9 of them. They come from London, not Alabama. The band often claim that the three core members met in rehab, their Southern accents duping many into believing they are from Alabama. The truth is the founders met at a London rave and set out about creating an agenda of post-American, acid house, left politics, and subversive laughter. They formed in 1996 and started to recruit others who shared their vision. this combined with brilliantly theatrical live shows, meant the band attracted a huge South London following long before they had a record deal. Larry Love of the band slurred: ‘We are a Welshman, a Scotsman and a band of misﬁts who like to pretend that we are from Alabama. It is a lot of fun but it does make it difﬁcult for people to categorise us. which was good in the days of Britpop when every other fucker was jumping on the cool Britannia bandwagon. We stayed on the sidelines throwing our well aimed bombs in there. I don’t think the Brit pop fans like us at home because we are trying to be from Alabama. We are more popular in the States becasue of the Sopranos song and when we appeared on the episode in the Simpsons when Bart became a gangster.’ Man, you were on the Simpsons, then you must be good.

Al b 3 di to Alabama 3, pretending be from Alabama, but not being from Alabama at the Hotel Great Northern on Sunday. Irvine Welsh who wrote Trainspotting reckons, ‘they are the only band I can dance to without chemical assistance.’

JACK OUT OF THE BOX Melbourne troubadour Jack Mancor has just released his new album: Black Top Blues. His music is roots, country and blues oriented with strong ties to rural Australia. You can catch Jack at the Chincogan Hotel in Mullum on Friday and the Bangalow Hotel on Saturday.

THE KID’S ALRIGHT Kid Confucious plays the Hotel Great Northern on Friday. The Street Corner Soul Tour was launched with two sellout shows at Sydney’s iconic rock venue, The Annandale. In the words of one reviewer, ‘They make Soul Music, and they make it like no one else in Australia. If you miss this tour, you will be kicking yourself for a very long time.’ In the spirit of Aretha Franklin’s ground breaking 1969 shows at the Fillmore West San Francisco’s temple of rock music, Kid Confucius bring their soul music to traditional rock stomping grounds. The Street Corner Soul Tour is rooted in the Soul movement of the 60s and 70s but powered by the audacity and spirit of Australia’s hardedged rock scene. Busking

1. Baldrick (Tony Robinson) started it with Time Team (ABC, Tuesday 6pm) but now there’s a deluxe brand of pop archeology from Neil Oliver and Tony Pollard in Two Men in a Trench (SBS, Friday, 8.30pm). This week it’s the Battle of Flodden, brush and tweezers at the ready. 2. Anyone for pickled eyeballs? The made in Australia American flick The Forsaken (Ten, Saturday 11.55pm) makes a good fist of updating the vampire genre. 3. Red Eye (Prime, Sunday 8.30pm) manufactures a thriller out of the travails of long distance flight.

MULTICULTURAL MUSIC MAKERS Arabesk are a Sydney based quartet who have adopted the diversity of music from Africa to Arabian sounds and moulded them into their own unique style. Veren Grigorov on violin and viola, Rob Shannon on guitar and D’rrbuka, internationally renowned drummer/percussionist Calvin Welch and bassist

James ames Haselwood are the respected musicians that make up Arabesk. Theirs is a journey of constant discovery that has taken them from the traditionsteeped back streets of Eastern Europe to the bustling bazaars of Turkey. With such a wealth of musical experience it’s little wonder Arabesk are such a powerhouse of invention and innovation, fused with constant hypnotic rhythms and laced with the lushness of violins and guitars. Their music has been likened to a series of ‘conversations across the ages’ where all kinds of traditions converge into a modern day celebration of intoxicating global grooves. Thursday at Coorabell Hall. Doors open 7.30 for show at 8pm. Tix $18/$16 at the door only. Delicious food by Coffee Oasis, Come early for a meal!

BLUE LUKE Luke Escombe moved from London to Sydney in 1999 armed with an English degree and a Fender Strat. A few years ago he began to write a different kind of song. Inspired by artists like Bob Dylan, Frank Zappa and Gil Scott-Heron, and by the power that comes from fusing rhythm and melody with the right words, he started to use music as a way of responding to the madness of the post-9/11 world. After a long run of solo shows he is now performing with a collective of other musos and agitators under the banner ‘The Locals’. The band features the diverse talents of poet/ bassist Cliff Flax, drummer/ philosopher Tull Kidron and mercurial bluesman Dylan Eynon. Drawing inspiration from a wealth of styles including blues, folk, hiphop, funk and spoken word they deliver a show ﬁlled with memorable tunes, satirical lyrics, humour, musicality, theatre and chaos that has titillated audiences of all social, cultural, sexual and spiritual persuasions. Luke plays the Blue Birdy at the Buddha Bar on Wednesday night with the session musicians from his solo album, presenting the new tracks for the ﬁrst time. 8.30pm.

MISSY HIGGINS AND TIM ROGERS

Scoring a shit hot producer as a band member is the ultimate coup. That’s what’s happened for Sal Yates and Mick Daley when they hooked up with Christian Pyle (moody front man of Acre). This hill dwelling threesome have come together over a cup of tea, some impressive riffs and a swag of experience. (Not to mention a pile of rug rats in tow). Sal filled me in a little on Ghost Mountain. ‘This is still the project that Christian and I started nearly 2 years ago.’ That’s when I work out that the guy sitting on my left is Christian. I had only interviewed him over the phone. I admitted that I had always envisaged him as an 18 year old playing grungey guitar rock in the garage. Christian remarked drily : ‘I am an 18 year old in the garage at heart.’ Christian’s had 4 hours sleep after gigging and then getting up to the kids. It’s an uncompromising lifestyle, one I’m only too familiar with. Christian is in high demand as a producer at his Lot 64 Studios, and Ghost Mountain is a creative salvation: a more mature project, something created to tap back into the essence of why you’d be a musician in the first place. ‘Ghost Mountain started as an organic jamming process or a sociable thing, for me it was the opposite of what I was doing as a professional. With Acre, it all got really serious and we didn’t get to enjoy it and it’s a bit about being a kid again and finding the right vibe. Life gets in the way when you are older, you can’t just do what you did when you started.’ Like any North Coast naming, it took a while to find the right name. ‘We amalgamated with Acre and became the Fleetwood Mac version, and then Easy Tiger, and the Spills and I always liked the name The Creeps, but it was taken.’ For Sal, it was more about summing up the bigger picture about what the band was trying to do: ‘It was also trying to find something relevant. That’s really where Ghost Mountain came from. The old cedar loggers used to call (Goonengerry Ridge, where the band is based) Ghost Mountain because it’s a volcanic hill and a lot of sound used to travel through the hills... ‘ So how did Christian meet Sally? ‘What brought Sal and I together was songwriting – we are all (Mick, Sal and Christian) in a perpetual state of songwriting. It’s rare to see people who are in a perpetual state of song. Usually co-writing lyrics is near impossible. Everyone wants to say something in a different way.’ ‘We have the same drive, we are not driven by narcissism and a need to be famous – we are all too old and ugly to get on Australian Idol.‘ So what does Christian think of his self-produced debut album? In a nutshell: ‘It’s a pretty honest record, there is not a lot of crap in there. When you are making your own record you aren’t answerable to anyone, so it’s a guitar heavy album, that’s what I wanted to do. ‘ Ghost Mountain launch their brilliant new CD at Coorabell Hall on Friday. According to Christian, it’s a good idea to get there because ‘the band’ going to be fucking huge.’ The band is also committed to establishing a flourishing hall circuit. ‘We are trying to build up the hall circuit. We’re jack of gigs where you have to compete with pokies and people who aren’t there to see music.’ And for those concerned about venturing into the hills. ‘You’ll still get a root, it just might be your sister!’ Friday at Coorabell Hall, tix at the door for $12 with show starting at 7pm and featuring The Re-Mains, Jesse Younan, Phil Smith and Phoebe Black. Now that’s value! Ghost Mountain is distributed through Vitamin Records.

(cu lTure) STANDUP JIMEOIN STANDS UP FOR CAMBODIAN KIDS The audience won’t be the only ones laughing when Jimeoin plays the Hotel Great Northern on Tuesday, the kids at Cambodia’s Spien Shreiv Primary school will also be happy. Thanks to the commitment of a small group of Byron Bay and Gold Coast locals and the generosity of Irish comedian Jimeoin, this charity gig will raise funds for this school in Siem Reap Cambodia. Most of the parents of children at this school are survivors of the Pol Pot regime and as a result are uneducated. They are now rebuilding their lives through the next generation and are incredibly grateful for the opportunities the school provides their children. While Jimeoin is renowned

CINEMA MOVIES ON THE OUTSIDE There’s nothing like watching a movie outside. When I was a kid, that was the only way I got to see a ﬁlm. In country Queensland, we didn’t have anything as posh as a movie theatre, you had to go to the Drive In. And boy, what an experience, most of my memories of ﬁlms are punctuated with moments of physical horror like when Brad asked if I wanted a chip and I put my hand in the packet and he’d put his penis through the bottom. Charming! The real joy was that it was salt and vinegar and it only took a few moments for the stinging sensation to set in. Well, it’s not going to be like that – this is going to be beautiful – it’s cinema under the stars! Moonshine Cinema is kicking off at the Byron Bay Beach Resort Friday November 23 and will run through playing every Monday and Friday until 3 March (with public holidays as well). Ticket prices are $10 adult, $8 concession and $7 child/ pensioner. Patrons are welcome to bring their own blankets, or can hire funky beanbag chairs for $5.

ART THE PEARL STORY

for his sense of humour, he has shown a serious side by volunteering his services to raise money for the school. ‘Apart from the fact I love Byron Bay and I will use any excuse to visit, I also happen to have a soft spot for kids. I have children of my own and wish that every kid had the same access to education that mine do, that’s why I decided to do this gig.’ One hundred percent of all ticket sales will be donated to the school to assist with infrastructure running costs, additional teachers, the implementation of a kindergarten program and the provision of free education for 660 primary school students. The money will also contribute to the school breakfast program which provides each child with one meal a day. Doors open at 8pm, support by Harry Healy.

EXODUST

This month the ADFAS (Australian Decorative & Fine Arts Society presents Charlotte Nattey, a graduate of St Martin’s School of Art London, in Design, majoring in fashion and dress. I am a big pearl fan and she is going to give the nuts and bolts on the many aspects of pearls. Pearls seem to appear as if by magic, its amazing how something so perfect can be made from a single grain of sand. $15, Monday at 7.30pm at the Bangalow A&I Hall.

DAHLSEN OPENS GRADUATING EXHIBITION Internationally recognised local artist John Dahlsen opens the exhibition ‘Blended Space’ at Still @ the Centre, Waywood Framing and Gallery, Byron Bay this Friday at 6pm. This exhibition is the culmination of work produced over a course of intensive study by students graduating from the Diploma of Visual Arts, TAFE NSW – North Coast Institute, Arts & Media section, Murwillumbah Campus. Head Teacher Sandra Guy says that the diverse artwork, including

MR PERCIVAL OUT OF THE LOOP

i i i painting, ceramics, printmaking, sculpture and digital imagery is sure to inspire anyone attending the exhibition.

DECOUPAGE YOUR SOUL Soulcollage is a process developed by psychotherapist Seena Frost in the US, and involves making a deck of personal collaged cards from images you select, each card representing a different aspect of you, or of archetypes that have been important in your life. The cards are then worked with in various ways such as journaling, voice dialogue and ‘reading’ the cards like a tarot deck. Soulcollage is, rather unusually, both deeply therapeutic and fun. Karen Mann has trained in the States as a Soulcollage facilitator, and will be coming up from Melbourne to offer a one day workshop on Saturday November 24 from 9.30am to 3.30pm at the Bangalow Catholic Hall, cost $90 or $80. To book or ﬁnd out more, contact Alison on 6685 3213.

THEATRE LOUD, FAST, FUNNY, LOOPY Norpa presents a dynamic double bill of Mr Percival’s Out of the Loop and Marty Murphy’s ‘Happy & Clean’. Mr Percival is a one-man musical performance that can only be described as ‘painting with sound’. Percival has reﬁned the technique of creating layers of sound using only a looping pedal and his voice which becomes a spontaneous vocal creation that the critics hail as ‘intense and resounding’. He blew them away at the Bangalow jazz festival, and I can attest, having been an audient, it’s a mesmerising act. Main act Marty Murphy takes us on a surreal journey as he reveals how he became a B-Grade movie director with threeact tendencies and wrote an action thriller set on a turkey farm. A one-man Goon show of sorts, Happy and Clean contains supernatural themes, occasional coarse language and several random moments. This unique comic experience has Marty Murphy playing his own straight man to twenty-ﬁve other characters with lightning-speed vocal gymnastics. Star Court Theatre in Lismore on Friday and Saturday November 23 & 24. Bookings 13 000 NORPA

The Exodus Live Festival are cooking up another unforgettable Summer. This year is so organic, it’s rumoured that hair might start growing on Bald Rock. One of the unique aspects of Exodus is the diverse demographic, and punters are encouraged to bring the family for this round the clock experience that delivers live music, DJs, kid’s workshops, circus, cabaret and much more. The festival have released just 300 early bird tix for locals, so you need to bring your ID and get down to Psycho in Mullum, Yami’s in Bruns or Fairyfloss in Byron. Online you can nab one of these hot tix by logging onto www.exoduslivefestival.com and while you are there why not check out the program. Early Bird Tix are $120, and are available until 30 November when they go back to $200. Exodus is scheduled for 11-13 January at Bald Rock, Tenterfield, the smaller but kooky second cousin to Burning Man. When the gathering started back in 2001, it was quite aptly named Odyssey, but since then it’s grown up and changed to Exodus Cyber Tribal Arts and Music Festival. I asked the organizers Mish, Rachel, Zoe and Rob a few quezzies. Q: How do the locals and council deal with the influx of people and cars each year? A: From all feedback we’ve received they’re happy to have us and all the colourful people in their normally quiet town. The local communities in Tenterfield and Stanthorpe have welcomed our festival with open arms every year. Exodus is held on the outskirts of Tenterfield, the petrol stations love us! Q: You regularly involve and work with the indigenous community within your festival, what is their role? A: The local Aboriginal community is the

with Jacki e Ona ssid

guardian of the land we party on! We respect them by acknowledging this. They come every year to take part in the opening and closing ceremonies and share their culture, arts and traditions. Q: Are the council and rangers cooperative and supportive of the yearly festival? A: While we respect the surrounding national parks, leave no rubbish and make a donation as required the council is also supportive. The Tenterﬁeld Council and all Emergency personnel have been fantastic, we look forward to working with them again this year. Q: If there’d be a guide to partying at Exodus what would you put in it? A: Leave behind your dog and your hangups! Do bring party outﬁts for all occasions, comfy crash pad pillows, body paints and colored zinc, kites, games and badminton bats and a heart full of fun.

TAURUS: Taurans rightly pride themselves on staying calm under pressure by blocking out disturbing inďŹ&#x201A;uences. But you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want a boiling volcano bubbling away inside you, so exhaust strong emotional charges with work or physical activity till theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re manageable â&#x20AC;&#x201C; then open your heart and address them. GEMINI: While Geminis are undeniably brilliant at both improvising and looking ahead, the boy scout motto Be Prepared deďŹ nitely applies to this week â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which could produce dramatic surprises even you might not see coming after Mars turns retrograde on Thursday.

WITH LILITH A WEEK OF CONTRASTS IN WHICH THE PARADOX AND CONTRADICTIONS, FRUSTRATIONS AND AGGRAVATIONS OF HUMAN BEHAVIOUR ARE MASSIVELY APPARENTâ&#x20AC;Ś ALONG WITH INSPIRING INSTANCES OF KINDNESS, GENEROSITY AND COURAGE.

ARIES: Aries enjoy organizing and taking charge, but this week requires intimacy and understanding. The people in your life need your attention, support, sympathy and guidance. Use your wild energy to bring as much beauty and light as you can to the world around you.

CANCER: Your magnetismâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s particularly strong this week so watch what you think and say, and the way you behave. Wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to offend the good luck gods and manifest unpleasantness by thinking mean thoughts when you could be attracting good fortuneâ&#x20AC;Ś LEO: Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t assume anything, jump to conclusions or let differences of opinion escalate into arguments â&#x20AC;&#x201C; do enjoy the people in your life rather than wrangling with them.

Your strong convictions and charismatic presence make major statements this week, so use those superhero powers for good. VIRGO: Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll quickly assess this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s potential strengths and weaknesses, but letting others try it their way might pleasantly surprise you. This is your week for lifting someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spirits with a smile or joke and attracting quite a lot of good fortune with a friendly attitude. LIBRA: Material activityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all systems go this week and ďŹ nances could get a healthy injection. Business beneďŹ ts look likely, and superiors or those in authority should be helpful if approached sweetly â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with Venus in Libra youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re unlikely to get many refusals. SCORPIO: Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not at the mercy of forces beyond your control â&#x20AC;&#x201C; your own choices and decisions will shape your week. You might have to give more than you get, but youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll ďŹ nd that the less you expect, the more agreeable, generous and cooperative people will be. SAGITTARIUS: You have plenty of perceptive ideas about whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wrong with the planet and how

the system needs changing, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good thing. But a big thing. Your stars suggest starting with something you can change this week: your own habit patterns. CAPRICORN: Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been resisting knowing about something for a long time. This week, if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ready â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and lucky â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it could catch up with you when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re least expecting it. And show you that what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been avoiding for so long is actually a precious part of yourself. AQUARIUS: This weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birthday celeb is your astro daddy astronomer Sir William Herschel, who discovered Aquariansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ruling planet Uranus. So have a cosmic birthday celebration â&#x20AC;&#x201C; doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s November. Treat yourself to something wonderful just for being an Aquarian. PISCES: Having an honest, heart to heart talk could set things straight and clear the air this week. But if others are stubborn and it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t â&#x20AC;&#x201C; well, know that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done your best, set your mind at rest and turn your attention to all the exciting possibilities on offerâ&#x20AC;Ś

A sponsorship deal with Bendigo bank ensured that the Elwood Open was the richest Melbourne Grand Prix tournament for a decade and the Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strongest players turned out in force. Johansen was seeded only third in Elwood but cut a swathe through the field, winning his first five games before coasting to victory with two short draws on the final day. The tournament scored a hit with their giant screen at the entrance to the tournament venue, the Elwood Council chambers. The screen projected the top game of the day to an enthusiastic audience and the show was only enhanced when during one round an arbiter decided to use the transmission computer to check his Hotmail account!

(c INeMa) DEATH PROOF The poster proclaims breathlessly that this is Quentin Tarantino’s fifth film, as though it were Moses’s fifth commandment. Inevitably, it will attract an audience keen to consume it like manna from heaven (even if it is at least his seventh). It is as hip as you might expect (enfants terribles are so predictable, are they not?), with grainy frames, weird, disjointed edits, constant references to the genre it is harking back to (his need for you to know is juvenile), and it even has a bit where everything jumps from B/W to colour. Radical, huh? Tarantino, we are browbeaten into understanding, is faux retro, but to what end? As always, there is an over reliance on soundtrack, which is not to say that it’s not ab fab to hear Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Tich’s Hold Tight given a spin. The horrendous collision it accompanies is the film’s

shameful crowning glory. Otherwise, there are what you fear will be interminable scenes of inane, repetitive dialogue among the groups of girls featured in the two episodes of which the movie is comprised. They are as dull as they are possibly in order to heighten the ‘thrills’ of the equally mind numbing screaming car scenes. Kurt Russell plays the man in both episodes, a smooth talking psycho who, behind the wheel, is a cross between Mad Max and the John Jarratt of Wolf Creek. It’s a nice turn from Russell, who never takes himself as seriously as his director and, if there were more of him in it, may have steered the show clear of the longeur which kills it. The vileness and stupidity might be overlooked, even the repulsive presentation of violence as cool kitsch can be (almost) tolerated because, hey, this is art, but what cannot be forgiven is the unutterable boredom.

We all have our prejudices and we should try to overcome them. With the exception of Jackie Brown, Tarantino has struck me as a show-off who tries too hard to shock and be on that dismal cutting edge (is there such a thing anymore?), so, though an avowed disliker, I came to this hopeful of a conversion. I left as convinced as ever that the bloke’s a wanker. ~ John Campbell

LIONS FOR LAMBS The combination of big cast and big issue rarely produces a movie with shades of grey in its meaning. And so it is here, as director Robert Redford attempts to prod into activism his mainstream audience. Clunky it may be, there is something to be said for baldly editorialising, without clever Dick qualiﬁcation, on an issue about which you have strong beliefs. Redford is Professor Malley, a jaded political sciences lecturer whose hope is that he might revive the waning social conscience of his prize student, Todd. Concurrently, in Washington, Senator Jasper Irving (Tom Cruise) is doing his best to convince journalist Janine Roth (Meryl Streep) of the the righteousness of his new plan for operations in Afghanistan. In that inhospitable, mountainous land, two of Malley’s former students are ﬁghting for survival against the encircling Taliban. Thus are government, media and military linked in what is a straightforward expose of the way in which we are all complicit in today’s troubles. Polished and with performances perhaps a little too studied – though toothy Cruise’s calculating fervour is creepy for how recognisable it is (what a good actor he is in a suitable

role) – there is a sense, nearing despair though it may be, that things might still be put right by a sort of Sundance idealism. Some ﬁlmmakers can spend two hours-plus saying virtually nothing, so, at 88 minutes, this jolts you with its brevity. In fact, it feels like there has been a bit lopped off the end, which is probably a testament to Redford’s common sense, for he has made his point and does not bother with padding. Nonetheless, there is a lot of dialogue worked into it, but it is not burdened by wordiness. The tragedy that unfolds goes against what you think is coming and, in its cold ﬁnality, provides an emotional charge in what is mainly a discursive, agitprop exercise. Redford might not be saying anything new about the ‘war on terror’, but sometimes it is only persistence that makes the breakthrough. Otherwise, as Malley stresses to Todd, the power brokers ‘bank on your apathy.’ Good on Redford for trying, I reckon. ~ John Campbell

THE KINGDOM The Kingdom opens with one of the most disturbing and shocking sequences of the year: families are gunned down by terrorists in Saudi Arabia, a suicide bomber detonates himself and THEN things get really bad. Almost immediately, the average moviegoer will be on edge and not just because of what’s happening on screen. Every moment in The Kingdom is shrouded with the threat of violence, until it finally explodes in a last reel that’s one of the most heartpounding action scenes in years. Without giving too much away, our heroes stumble into something very deadly in the final reel, and it’s such a well-constructed moment that even a jaded moviegoer will feel their heart race. For the first time, you really have no idea where the film is going, and that chaos – popping up in the middle of the chiseled perfection of Jamie Foxx and Jennifer Garner – is riveting. When The Kingdom drops the politics and throws everyone’s world into deadly disarray, it actually captures the state of emergency of the Middle East – the combat zone that so many men and women live in today The last twenty minutes of The Kingdom are so brilliantly constructed and perfectly executed that they alone make the film worth your time. ~ Lounge Cinema

RECIPE OF THE WEEK from Leah Roland principal of the Bangalow Cooking School

KOULOURIA Makes around 90-120 biscuits Means â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Circle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; rope twisted into a coil, ring These are traditional Easter biscuits, however they are eaten all year round.

Ingredients 1 cup milk 6 eggs 250gm unsalted butter melted 1Â˝ cups white sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla essence Self raising ďŹ&#x201A;our (aprox 5 cups) Turn on oven 170Â°C Mix well with your hands sugar and butter, then add all the rest of wet things. Keep mixing while adding self raising ďŹ&#x201A;our until you achieve a consistency where the dough doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stick to your hands and you can roll it into a ball with no cracks. Rest for 10 minutes. Roll into snake/ďŹ nger thickness and cut into 10 cm lengths. For the shape either tie one length into a open knot or twist two lengths as you would a rope. Place on oiled baking trays with spaces beside to allow for expansion. Brush egg yolk and sprinkle with sesame if so desired. Bake in mod to low oven 170Â°C 30 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 40 minutes. Then to dry out further return to the oven once you have turned it off. Enjoy

AT BYRON AT BYRON The Restaurant at the Byron and Byron Resort will once again be hosting a Christmas Day luncheon and a great New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eve this year, following on from the great success of last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s events.

There will be an entree, a main, a dessert and cheese, Christmas goodies, bonbons and a stunning Christmas tree, and the cost is $160 a head (less for children). New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eve will also consist of a four-course meal, a glass of sparkling wine upon arrival, great prizes, karaoke and the Neily Diamond Show â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and tickets for this are $155 per head. Bookings are essential for both events and can be made on 6639 2111.

NOOSA FARMERS MARKET Victoria Cosford Sunday is the one day of the week I permit myself to sleep in (as daringly late as nine oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;clock sometimes) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but not this particular one, mini-holiday and all: Mandy was determined to show me the Noosa Farmers Market and she wanted to be there around 6am. So there I was beside her in her shiny red car pretending we hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sat up late the night before drinking shiraz, grimly focusing on what lay ahead. The Market is really in Noosaville on the oval of the Noosa Australian Football Club; we climbed inelegantly over a collapsed wire fence to enter. Thin sun and the early hour made me long for the warmth of coffee, which I could smell in air ďŹ lling up with other luscious aromas as well, but we decided to do a couple of laps ďŹ rst. Even at this ungodly hour there were people milling everywhere, with most of the stalls set up and briskly trading. My entrancement was immediate. It was far too early to be hungry â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and we had dined heartily the previous evening â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and yet the visions and the smells were stirring up a different sort of appetite, or perhaps it was inspiration. Pomelos the size of medicine balls were arranged beside spiky pineapples, bulbous ginger, scarlet strawberries from Eumundi, beans and bananas and corn and vine-ripened tomatoes called Noosa Reds (whose owner was explaining to someone that they should never, ever be refrigerated because they are a fruit); dark purple potatoes from Spunky Spuds. Avocados and sumptuous displays of ďŹ&#x201A;owers, new seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nectarines, bushy bunches of herbs, bright gold zucchini ďŹ&#x201A;owers, glossy eggplant and pumpkins and spinach. We wafted, drawn especially to the bread and cheese stalls. I counted at least four of the former, each of them selling a selection of sourdough, spelt and fruit, olive and herb-studded, sweet and savoury, tiny rolls and farmhouse cobs â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and wondered for the zillionth time why on the Far North Coast, a mere few hours south, we have so few bread-makers. As for the cheeses! From areas like Gympie came cheese-makers whose boutique products were lovingly, tantalisingly arranged in wheels and wedges or individual moulds: there were goatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cheeses and washed rinds, oozey camembert-style ones and crumbly aged cheddars, and there was a Swiss stallholder whose range included gruyeres and emmenthals. We needed to sit down, have a coffee, regroup. It was 7 oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;clock, for heavenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sake â&#x20AC;&#x201C; by now buzzingly busy, with lots of gorgeous women in yoga gear and enormous sunglasses clutching armfuls of rocket and bags of passionfruit. From a stall called Bean and Gone we purchased respectable lattes and sat down at a shared table with strawberry and macadamia friands. Most other people seemed to be eating tiny pancakes though there were others with more robust constitutions wolďŹ ng down the fat German sausages whose fatty spicy fragrance ďŹ&#x201A;oated from the grill through the morning air. I wished I had been properly hungry: apart from the Momos, steamed Tibetan dumplings, the heart-shaped cakes and big softcentred meringues, the breakfast pies and frittatas, the fruit salads and the fruit breads, there were the Taiyaki. Behind a table stood a man and woman, both Japanese, in traditional dress, preparing pancakes in the shape of ďŹ sh. Soft oriental music ďŹ&#x201A;owed while the man poured batter into the ďŹ sh-shaped moulds like jafďŹ&#x201A;e irons and the woman ďŹ lled them with chocolate, or custard cream, or red bean paste, or, for the savoury version, ham, cabbage, mayo and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;special sauceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Instead I sought out the Mushroom Man, whose uncle has been cultivating mushrooms in a railway tunnel he rents from NSW State Rail between Bowral and Mittagong in the Southern Highlands. For 45 years, his nephew tells me, he has been growing them in these perfectly humid conditions, the last 20 including all the exotic ones as well, and transporting them to markets overnight. As we walked away, the beautiful aboriginal busker with dreadlocks who should have been playing Bob Marley was launching into his next country and western song â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even 8am and a whole day yawned ahead.

Sports Roundup with Eve Jeffery

I read the news today, oh boy, about a lucky man… John Campbell Sonny Liston is the only black man on the cover of Sergeant Peppers. He was the fearsome world heavyweight boxing champion who, in 1964, took on a brash Cassius Clay. Nobody gave the Louisville Lip, as Clay was known, a chance. According to Wikipedia, the challenger entered the ring at 7/1, a phenomenal price in a two-horse race. Liston, as hard as nails and mean with it, unexpectedly threw in the towel at the beginning of the seventh round, giving Clay the decision by TKO – and also giving a huge payout to those who’d taken the underdog’s generous odds. Gambling can be seen as an easy way to make money, as it was that night in 1964, or an easy way to lose money, as it is daily for countless mug punters. Taxation pays for civilisation, yet we whinge about it in the same breath that we bemoan the closing down of ever more public amenities. Enter the gambling goose and its endless supply of golden eggs to offset the gap between what we expect as a birthright and what we are willing to contribute towards. Governments, notably the reptilian Morris Iemma’s, are addicted to and inevitably corrupted by its revenue. Likewise sport, where the goose has been feathering its nest since forever. In the lexicon of the suits who profit most from it, gambling is called by the more sophisticated sobriquet of ‘gaming.’ Thanks to our Premier, the great unwashed will now be offered another exciting outlet for doing their dough cold through Betfair [sic], James Packer’s online bottomless collection box. Disturbingly, the opportunity to bet on any sporting event

anywhere has coincided with professional tennis players coming out of the woodwork to say that they have been offered money to lose. Perhaps the most celebrated (if that is the right word) sports rort involving betting occurred in the 1919 baseball World Series. Commemorated in the ﬁne 1989

movie, Field of Dreams, hot favourites the Chicago White Sox threw it for the Cincinnati Reds. Eight players, including the illiterate ‘Shoeless’ Joe Jackson (redeemed in the ﬁlm), were banned for life for their betrayal of the most basic tenet in sport – you always try your hardest to get the victory.

Australians will be familiar with such shenanigans in cricket.The script demanded that one of the miscreants be S K Warne. That the other was M E Waugh would have come as no surprise either, all tragics being familiar with Junior’s penchant for the gallops. They accepted money from an Indian bookmaker called

Byron Shire FUTSAL is Huge Vikings Futsal Far North Coast has been inundated with teams for the Byron Shire Futsal competition played at Ocean Shores Public School Hall on Mondays (10/11/12’s, 13/14/15’s, Womens) and Thursday (7/8/9’s, Mens) evenings. There has been a huge response from teams ranging in age from 7/8/9’s to senior men. The comp already has 25 teams entered and Futsal

FNC Regional Coordinator, David Major, couldn’t be happier. ‘It is so good to ﬁnally bring Futsal to Byron Shire, there has been people very keen in the area for a couple of years, and the initial response has been great,’ says Mr Major. The Byron Shire Futsal competition is still looking for teams to join in the mixed 13/14/15’s and Womens divisions, which play on Mon-

day evenings. You only need 6 or 7 players for a team and you don’t necessarily have to have had soccer experience to play Futsal. If you are interested in playing Futsal in Byron Shire please don’t hesitate to call the Futsal Far North Coast ofﬁce on 6622 4622 or drop by the Ocean Shores Public School Hall in Shara Boulevarde on Monday or Thursday evenings from 4.30pm.

John (pu-leeze!) for pitch and team information. The issue of match fixing was never pressed. The pair did a public penance and were permitted to continue with their careers, unlike the disgraced South African, Hansie Cronje. Cronje was bribed by bookmakers to ensure that a 1996 test was lost to India and, seduced by the filthy lucre, he maintained his relationship with the syndicate until Delhi police nailed him with recordings of incriminating telephone conversations. He suffered the same fate as the Chicago Eight. The turf has always been fertile ground for slings and fiddles, racing identities universally considered shoofty at best. When the humble jockey is charged with ‘not riding to instructions’ (a gorgeous euphemism), all that’s left for the downcast punter, having seen his good thing inexplicably proceed down the straight as though it were on its way to the knackery, is to sob into his beer. At the other end of racing’s food chain are the nobs in the champagne-andstrawberries marquee. Robbie Waterhouse, a gold-card carrying member of the Burberry set, proved that he

Crankin

and his ilk were not above the most base nefariousness when he was involved in the Fine Cotton affair of 1984, in which a horse was disguised as another. The sting backﬁred, with Robbie being ‘warned off’ tracks for his smart arsedness. Sonny Liston fought Clay again, in May 1965, by which time the great man was known as Muhammad Ali. In a fight even more controversial than its predecessor, Liston went down for the count in the ﬁrst round. The decisive blow, which nobody ringside noticed, came to be known as the phantom punch. In an uncorroborated interview many years later, Liston admitted to taking a dive. A fool and his money are soon parted – it’s an adage as old as the hills, but still the promise of making a killing while sitting on your bum doing nothing for it holds sway with an extraordinary number of people. Check out the blight of poker machines and the drones mechanically feeding them with money in our pubs and clubs, then join the dots that lead from there, through sport’s impoverished soul, to the mansions and yachts of the James Packers of the world.

This is worth the embarrassment. I fought through injury and a near fatal car accident so I could wear the green and gold. So, is this embarrassing? Of course! But nothing is more embarrassing than knowing my little girl is growing up in a country where almost half of the women will be victims of physical or sexual abuse in their lifetime. So if wearing this jersey makes Australian men realise just how serious this issue is, quite frankly, it’s worth the embarrassment. Brendan Cannon, Hooker Australian Wallabies, 2001-2006

Eureka Year 6 students Tai Merrall, Janice Reid, Simon Knight and Ben Curtis have returned home triumphant after winning medals at the NSW State Championships at Olympic Park in Sydney this week. The 4 were competing in the small schools 4x100m sprint relay. The Eureka ‘Jets’ as they are known, have been working incredibly hard for 3 months and coached again this year by Simon’s Dad, Rick. They won every race leading up to the North Coast Regional titles in Coffs Harbour a few weeks ago where they annihilated their opposition. All 4 have been working hard on their strength, mental toughness and speed. In wet conditions at Olympic park the Jets sliced a massive one and a half seconds off their previous best race time.

extremely close race and at the ﬁnish line only 3/10 second separated the top 3 places. Rick said, ‘Their determination to succeed has been amazing. They were very conﬁdent and full of Eureka School spirit. The four are good mates and have a lot of fun working as a team. Their timing and baton changes are perfect and I think this relay team is just as talented as last year’s State Champions. They now know that with hard work and a dream,

anything is possible.’ The school is brimming with pride as it is the second year in a row a team from Eureka has won medals in this prestigious event. Simon was also a member of last years’ gold medal winning team. Each of the sprinters is also very talented at other things: Janice is academically gifted and also a State medal winner in swimming and Gymnastics. Tai is very ﬂexible and performs with the famous Spaghetti Circus.

Ben is an excellent cricket player and one of the best defensive footballers on the Far North Coast and Simon is a State representative for cross-country and now a State dual medal winner in Athletics and is also a brilliant attacking footballer and Futsal player. The team would like to thank the local community for their generous ﬁnancial and moral support. Their wishes of good luck in Sydney have been well received by the kids.

MULLUMBIMBY MARKET DAY FIESTA Held 3rd Sat of every month 12.30pm â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 4pm CHINCOGAN HOTEL, MULLUMBIMBY Next event is this Saturday 17/11/2007 As part of the new managementâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s push to turn the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;CHINIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; into a cultural hotspot- Locally based band RAGGA JUMP will host the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Market Day Fiestaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; each 3rd Saturday of the month. Between sets will be devoted to various performers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from guest musicians and Rappers to comedians, jugglers and other surprises. The idea is to provide an after market venue which will evolve into a kind of local Community Arts Variety Show. A recent test gig on Market Day went over well with locals calling for it to become a regular event. Ragga Jump are a dynamic 5 piece band specialising in infectious tropical party music â&#x20AC;&#x201C; REGGAE / LATIN / AFRICAN and WORLD-BEAT styles. This music is tailor made for The Northern Rivers, instantly creating a fun holiday atmosphere, complete with irresistable dance grooves, explosive Timbale â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Conga percussion jams, and classic audience call and answer Reggae chanting. The band have become popular after playing regularly at prominent Byron Shire music venues and had them dancing in the surf at the New Years Eve Byron Community Celebration last year. They have been invited to perform again at this years concert on the beachfront. Any performers / artists / comedians etc who feel they could Ă&#x20AC;t into a Market Day Variety Show format in front of a supportive and lively audience can contact John Fog for information; 6684 1883 / 0405 436 412

Exceptional communicators, they think creatively to solve problems and are passionately committed to delivering a high quality employment service. As an Employment Advisor, you will manage a case load of jobseekers, supporting and assisting them with their employment search, with the aim of placing as many job seekers as possible into employment. This is initially a casual position with potential to lead to full time for the right person.

A degree or proven ability to think critically would be highly regarded. Knowledge of the Job Network and Centrelink processes and experience in welfare-to-work programmes would be a plus, but is not essential.

News Extra

Making the choice to change Clearing triggers hotter droughts Ronald Wolff I recall in 1969 reading the first edition of the Whole Earth Catalog, the sections about Clivus Multrum toilets and solar energy, and as a boy dreaming of the day when most people would produce their own power and fertiliser. Mainstreamers said it would never happen, too impractical, etc. Today our family lives with 18 solar panels and a C-M toilet and rainwater tanks. We power a big screen LCD TV, two laptops and a desktop, a 351 cubic centimetre electric fridge, power tools for building, kitchen appliances, all the devices found in a mainstream home--except reverse cycle air conditioning. Our house is built on a north face, with windows all round to take advantage of the summer cooling northeasters. We drive a Subaru Forester that consumes a litre of petrol per 10km in town and 15-18km on the open road. Best of all, we are not wealthy yuppie sea changers and live modestly by Australian standards. With all the discussion about global warming and

carbon emissions, it begs understanding why in an area of outspoken greenies, we have yet to obtain more than a few percent compliance with the low level carbon imprint of our family. This is not a brag, it is simply asking, with the technology available, and with the knowledge that Country Energy coal fired power and publicly supplied water and flushing effluent into sewage plants and/or the ocean and rivers is not sustainable, why have we not converted most households in Byron and Tweed to run the way ours does? It couldn’t be a lack of money. After all, we support over 2000 troops in Iraq and others in ‘peacetime’ deployment. When we finally turf Howard & Co out this month, all of them will collect Super Super, to the tune of tens of millions of dollars annually. Ranking members of the new Government will insist upon all the perks of the past, such as $25,000 per night penthouses when they visit Kuala Lumpur. Labor promises us, on the eve of election, that we will see sig-

niﬁcant investment in solar and wind power, and that nuclear power is not on the charts. Mr Rudd has set a 60% carbon emission reduction by 2050, yet has not revealed his plans to accomplish this monumental task. I ascribe the failure to adopt sustainable living to a lack of political will in Sydney and Canberra, as well as a lack of strong intent to do so on very personal levels. Green speak is good, and ﬁnding yourself is okay. As sure as the sun rises and sets, failure to make the political and personal choices to migrate to alternative energy and sustainable living, today and not in 2050, will cost the planet and condemn our children to a harsh world of 50 degree summers, water shortages, submerged coastlines, severe food shortages, and all other effects clearly outlined by Al Gore and eminent scientists worldwide. If you doubt the science, just ask those Tuvalu islanders who already have had to abandon their atolls for higher islands, as the sea has washed over their island homes.

A University of Queensland scientist has led groundbreaking research which shows that clearing of native vegetation has made recent Australian droughts hotter. Dr Clive McAlpine of UQ’s Centre for Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Science and Mr Jozef Syktus, principal scientist in the Queensland Natural Resources and Water Department (DNRW), headed a study which will be published later this year in Geophysical Research Letters, the journal of the American Geophysical Union. In an Australian ﬁrst, they applied the CSIRO Mark 3 climate model, satellite data and the DNRW supercomputer, and showed that 150 years of land clearing added signiﬁcantly to the warming and drying of eastern Australia. ‘Our work shows that the 2002-03 El Nino drought in eastern Australia was on average two degrees Centigrade hotter because of vegetation clearing,’ Dr McAlpine said. ‘Based on this research, it would be fair to say that the current drought has been

made worse by past clearing of native vegetation. ‘Our findings highlight that it is too simplistic to attribute climate change purely to greenhouse gases. ‘Protection and restoration of Australia’s native vegetation needs to be a critical consideration in mitigating climate change.’ Co-authors are Dr Hamish McGowan, Associate Professor Stuart Phinn and Dr Ravinesh Deo – all of UQ – Dr Peter Lawrence of the University of Colorado and Dr Ian Watterson of CSIRO. The researchers found that mean summer rainfall decreased by between four percent and 12 percent in eastern Australia, and by four percent and eight percent in southwest Western Australia. These were the regions of most extensive historical clearing. ‘Consistent with actual climate trends, eastern Australia was between 0.4 degrees Centigrade and two degrees Centigrade warmer, and southwest Western Australia was between 0.4 degrees and 0.8 degrees warmer.

‘Native vegetation moderates climate fluctuations, and this has important, largely unrecognised consequences for agriculture and stressed land and water resources,’ Dr McAlpine said. Australian native vegetation holds more moisture that subsequently evaporates and recycles back as rainfall. It also reﬂects into space less shortwave solar radiation than broadacre crops and improved pastures, and this process keeps the surface temperature cooler and aids cloud formation. The project, Modeling Impacts of Vegetation Cover Change on Regional Climate, was funded by Land and Water Australia Research and Development Corporation (Canberra) as part of their Innovation Research Program. UQ’s Centre for Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Science is part of the School of Geography Planning and Architecture, one of a wide range of areas at UQ conducting nationallyand globally-significant research into climate change and sustainability.

Melissa Ades, is keen to get in touch with buyers of his wife’s work (many have been bought at the Waywood Gallery) as there will be a retrospective at the Gallery of NSW. If you’re prepared to lend a painting you can contact David on adesd61@nrg. com.au. Q Q Q Q Halloween was probably lots of ghoulish fun for most kids but reports are in from Mullum mums that their kids were bullied in the streets by older kids, some of them carrying small knives and sharpened sticks. Not good. Please frisk your children for weapons and teach them manners before letting them loose. Q Q Q Q Another shark attack in the Bay demonstrates the dangers of wandering into wild wet habitat. Mind you, you could just as easily get skittled on a pedestrian crossing in Mullum – see Mandy’s rave on page 28. Q Q Q Q We were discussing among ourselves the problem of uncontrolled domestic animal predation on wildlife, and humans, and came up with the idea of Companion

Animal Takeaway, or CAT. Once cats and dogs had proved themselves beyond redemption they could be recycled as spare ribs or canine au gratin. It might take a while to catch on but it would engender greater

care among pet owners and cut down on damage to koalas and small children.Would you like ﬂies with that? Q Responsibility for election comment is taken by David Lovejoy, Mullumbimby.

Residents in the north of the Shire should be aware that Council has a DA (10.2007.627.1) on exhibition for its planned changes to the Kallaroo Circuit Bund at North Ocean Shores. Submissions close November 30. Q Q Q Q Since the nation has been in a betting mood, we thought we’d note that Justine Elliot is a clear favourite at online agency Centrebet to retain her seat. Centrebet is offering $1.08 for Elliot to win, $6.50 for Nationals candidate Sue Page, and $301 for Greens candidate Giovanni Ebono. All the other runners start at $2,000. Q Q Q Q During Byron Shire Council debate on holiday letting last week – see Comment page 10 – Cr Diane Woods put up the sensible suggestion that we have an economic and social impact study of the phenomenon undertaken along with the shirewide LEP, but this apparently is too expensive, according to planning staff. Cr Wood said 49.8% of businesses in Brunswick Heads are tourist related, and not allowing holiday letting would encourage larger scale tourism development. However, the bottom line in integrating tourism into town planning is: not everyone can have a slice of the cake. Q Q Q Q Don’t let the rain ruin your funny face – due to inclement weather Mandy Nolan and The Big Joke Comedy Festival camera crew have had to postpone their Funny Faces Gurning Booth to this week’s Byron Bay and Bangalow Grower’s Markets.
