Labor sweeps into power

It’s schoolies’ hour in the sun

Elliot holds Richmond Buoyed by the nationwide swing to Labor, ALP candidate Justine Elliot had a comfortable win in the seat of Richmond. She took 39,000 votes on preferences to 27,200 votes for Sue Page of the Nationals.

Ms Elliot took 58.9% of the two party preferred vote with a favourable swing of 7.5%. On the primary votes Ms Elliot was well ahead with 44.12% to Dr Page’s 36.58%.

Of the other candidates Greens Giovanni Ebono polled well to take 15.3% of the primary vote with a favourable swing of 1.65%.

The other runners managed less than two per cent each.

Ms Elliot told The Echo, ‘I feel very honoured and privileged to be re-elected to serve the people of Richmond. It’s clear from the election result that people are looking to the future, not the past. ‘It’s a fantastic outcome.

Across the whole of Australia people have shown faith in Kevin Rudd’s fresh ideas. I’m really looking forward to representing the electorate of Richmond in the new Labor government.’

Within Byron Shire, Ms Elliot was ahead on primary votes in 11 of the 16 booths while Greens Giovanni Ebono took the rest. Mr Ebono scored best in the smaller country booths, taking 58% of the primary at Wilsons Creek and 40% at Federal, but also had substantial support in Byron Bay (33%), and his home town Mullumbimby (35%).

In response to his support Mr Ebono said, ‘It is ďŹ tting that Northern NSW and Tasmania should emerge from this election as rural Greens strongholds. The Green movement began here

with the Nightcap Forest actions and then went on to save the Franklin. ‘On Saturday, we won a string of booths from Byron Bay to Nimbin on preferences, but we still have a lot of work to do in Tweed Heads. The people of Byron Shire know that we will all be living according to Green principles within twenty years and believe that we should start planning for it now.’

Jann Gilbert Like devotees being called to prayer, the sound of the ďŹ nal school bell heralds the start of the annual adolescent pilgrimage to adulthood.

It’s that much-maligned three weeks of the year that sees the return of slab-carrying hordes of (hopefully) 18-year-olds; an assortment of mobile ringtones competing for attention that, collectively, sound like an outof-tune orchestra; queues of obviously joyful, bleary-eyed kids at supermarket checkouts; and the sweet voice of exuberant youth that sounds more like a banshee after midnight and a generous smattering of alcohol. Not to mention the beginning of the annual migration of shopping trolleys (as one letter writer last year so eloquently put it).

In true Alice Cooper fashion, school is out and while it may be party time for kids, it’s somewhat more like sleepless nights for most parents, some residents, and police, hospital and ambulance services. ‘There’s a lot of kids in town but so far it’s been the

usual stuff, minors using false IDs, under-18s with alcohol, and other alcoholrelated problems,’ says Inspector Owen King from Byron Bay Police. ‘We want to remind kids that, while we encourage celebration, any anti-social behaviour will be acted upon.’ As a relatively recent phenomenon schoolies has attracted more attention than climate change. There’s no doubt that it’s a busy time in a number of ‘chosen’ destinations and, historically, there have been (and probably will continue to be) difďŹ culties with the realities of youth meets celebration, drugs and alcohol.

But if kids have learned an over-indulgence response to stress release then it follows that they have learnt it as an inherent part of our culture.

Most people can remember their own induction into adulthood.

In the late 20th and early 21st centuries it seems alcohol and drug use have become an integral part of the rite-of-passage for most kids but it’s generally the amount or combination not

necessarily the overall presence that can prove to be dangerous.

Relieving Principal at Byron Bay High School Ian Davies says, ‘We support the idea of the kids acknowledging the end of their school years in a safe way, and taking responsibility for their behaviour. We don’t give them any speciďŹ c schoolies information but the programs in the PD/H-PE (Personal Development/HealthP hy s i c a l E d u c at i o n ) curriculum cover a variety of issues including sexuality, relationships, and alcohol and drug use, and the Department of Education has a “safe partying packâ€? that’s sent out to schools.’ NSW Health and the State Library of NSW are also involved in a joint initiative druginfo@yourlibrary, which came under fire recently in a media release issued by Ian Cohen MLC condemning the use of the site to advertise accommodation in Byron Bay. ‘I fail to see how advertising a two bedroom apartment in Byron Bay for $3950 per continued on page 6

Plans for NYE in the Bay under way The Byron Bay Safety Committee has again been formulating the program for a safe community event for this year’s New Years Eve in Byron Bay. ‘With the success of recent year’s low key, community based, alcohol free, new year event, the same formula is planned for this year to ensure a safe night,’ said chair of the committee, Mayor Jan Barham.

‘Council has again resolved to provide a safe environment by the use of alcohol prohibition on the streets and parks in both Byron Bay and Brunswick. The format for NYE in Byron Bay will proceed as it did last year, focussing the event on the beachfront reserves and minimise the impact on local businesses. ‘The committee is also calling for stallholders to

make an expression of interest to have food and craft stalls on the night and there is an opportunity for community groups to have free stalls to showcase their work and activities. Details of how to apply are available on Council’s website and via advertisements. ‘The event will commence at 3pm with childrens’ activities and market stalls at the continued on page 2

Baggaley brothers arrested on drug charges Following a four-month investigation by the Drug Squad and Tweed/Byron Local Area Command, Byron Bay local and Olympic kayaker Nathan Baggaley and his younger brother Dru were charged last week with a number of serious drug offences including manufacturing and supply of a commercial quantity of a prohibited drug.

Both men were refused bail and appeared in Casino Local Court last Friday. A third man from Newrybar is due to appear in Byron Bay Local Court on Friday December 7 charged with similar offences, and a fourth man from Suffolk Park was arrested but released without charge

NYE plans under way

Civic hall work begins

From front page

Work has commenced on the Mullumbimby Civic Memorial Hall upgrade.

Residents and visitors to Mullumbimby will see that fences have been erected around Mullumbimby Civic Memorial Hall on Dalley Street as construction work has commenced.

North coast contractors, Ware Building, will be completing building work over the next six months.

The Civic Memorial Hall was closed in 2003 for safety reasons and the start of construction is a signiďŹ cant step forward in providing Mullumbimby with a muchneeded public meeting, functions, events, and multipurpose community venue. ‘Byron Shire Council’s ongoing commitment to this project was supported with funding partnerships with the Australian Government’s Regional Partnerships program for $335,743 and the NSW Ministry of the Arts

beachfront. The popular parade will feature again and there is a request to the community to join in by starting to prepare costumes and group presentations. ‘This year the support of Byron United is welcomed and there is a strong spirit of cooperation to provide for a safe, community friendly NYE in Byron Bay. ‘Licensed venues in Byron Bay will again provide exciting events but these are ticketed and size limited, so those wanting to celebrate the night will need to get in quick. Many restaurants in town will also be open and

require booking.’ The committee thanks those local performers who have offered their talents for the night and buskers are invited to apply to perform on the night. The Safety Committee also appreciates the generous donations from businesses for prizes for the parade and is hoping that there may be other support offered to assist in the provision of necessary infrastructure for the night.

Information regarding stallholder’s application, alcohol prohibition and trafďŹ c closures is available on Council’s website www. byron.nsw.gov.au.

Melanoma support group Margaret Barrett of Suffolk Park appreciates the value of support groups as she deals with the treatments for her melanomas. Now she would like to ďŹ nd others for a support group to start in the New Year.

If you are interested in forming a Melanoma Support Group please ring the Ballina ofďŹ ce of The Cancer Council NSW and leave your name and phone number for Di Fisher and you will be contacted.

The Mullumbimby Civic Memorial Hall is a landmark building and it is a thrill to know that it will soon resume its place at the heart of the community’s social and cultural calendar. ‘This will provide for the 1928 building to be restored to its grandness, ready for its much needed use by the community.’ Council general manager, Pamela Westing said, ‘The only downside of the work is that the existing public toilets will be closed throughout the duration of the work.’ A council committee will oversee the leasing of the upgraded hall.

MDMA tablets worth an estimated potential street value of $1.4 million. More than one kilogram of MDMA powder was also seized, which police allege had the potential to make tens of thousands of tablets

at a street value of approximately $1.1 million.

The operation follows enquiries by investigators attached to Strike Force Alawa, which was established in July this year to target the manufacture and supply of MDMA on the state’s far north coast.

The strike force comprises detectives from the State Crime Command’s Drug Squad, working with the Tweed/Byron Local Area Command and Queensland Police. Last week’s arrests bring the total number of men charged in NSW and Queensland during the investigation to eight. Strike Force Alawa is continuing its enquiries.

Local News Operator please! Rescue squad needs more help

BEDS & BEDDING 4 DAYS ONLY

Story & photo Eve Jeffery Our local volunteer Marine Radio Operators handle 10,000 calls a year, and those are only from the boat operators who pass by them on their way to and from the big blue.

These figures do not include the dozens of calls for help asking for anything from a tow-in after a breakdown or boaties who simply didn’t take out enough fuel for the day, to rescues of stranded kayaks or surfers, and plane crashes and a variety of other accidents.

This group of volunteers, who are part of the ever present Brunswick Valley Rescue Squad, are invaluable when it comes to marine safety and they provide a free 24 hour a day service, literally through rain, hail or shine.

Marine Radio Base coordinator Owen Danvers

says that summer is the busy season.

‘We get a lot of visitors to the area over the Christmas break, many of them are not familiar with boating or the waters around here and that can cause problems,’ says Owen.

‘We have eyes out the front all day and it takes only seven minutes from the time we take the call to when the rescue boat heads out past us here at the tower.’

It is this quick response that has saved lives.

Though the group gets a small amount of government funding, about enough to cover insurance, and a generous donation of $10,000 from Byron Shire Council, volunteers are constantly fundraising with rescue boat captain Rod Goodacre spending 500 hours alone doing just that last year, as well as his time on the boat.

But what the squad is desperately in need of now is more radio operators. The roster currently has a staff of 28 but really needs double that in order to make sure every shift is covered when members of the current squad take ill or are on welldeserved holidays.

It is to this end that the Marine Radio Base is having an open day on Sunday December 2. For anyone who is interested in becoming an operator, or if you would just like a squiz in the tower, the doors will be open from 10am to 3pm. This is also a good opportunity for registered boat owners to come meet the operators who look after them when they go to sea.

Brunswick Rescue’s boat, Sea Rescue One, with Boat Captain Rob Goodacre at the helm, will do a demonstration on the river and

across the bar, and VMR Point Danger are also bringing their brand new rescue boat down for the day to participate in display exercises with the local crew.

Open days like these also serve as a bit of a thankyou.

Squad spokesperson Penny Fuller says that there is one section of the community that goes unrecognised for their assistance in rescue.

‘As volunteers, many members have full time jobs, that they leave at a drop of a hat when a call is sent out.

The silent volunteers, their employers, get little recognition for the community service they provide. We really appreciate our rescuers being able to leave their jobs to help out,’ says Penny.

For more information about the open day or becoming a radio operator, phone Owen on 6684 2222 or Penny on 6685 1667.

E-forums meet modern challenges Story & photo Lou Beaumont It is the dawn of a new information and community engagement era in the Byron Shire. Byron Shire Council and the Byron Region Community College have collaborated in bringing online learning to the fore to more easily engage the community. Council has begun to bring more online information and discussion forums to the Shire’s residents, and the College has begun to transform existing courses into successful online programs for wider community access.

Richard Vinycomb of the BRCC said, ‘We have several short courses under the Living and Working Sustainably banner. It is the ideal subject to bring into this medium with the obvious environmental benefits of online learning. Dave Lawrence’s Energy Efficient Housing Design Course was chosen to pilot our innovative blended learning approach.

He worked with our team to transform his existing course into an interactive e-course.’

Dave Lawrence told The Echo, ‘We researched the best IT solutions for the program. Technologies such as wikis, blogs, pod and vodcasts make the course really exciting and interactive.

Rollover buttons, loads of visuals and mobile diagrams as well as video interviews make the course entertaining as well as informative.’

Vinycomb says, ‘The pilot program was so successful

the course will now be available to the public by ACE Term I next year. We are able to reach a wider audience and offer participants a variety of ways to engage in the same course.’

It is not just community college students that are to benefit from this project.

Councils around Australia are facing common challenges – how to engage community members on controversial issues like development, population growth and the environment. Interested parties work longer hours, maintain busy lives and are often spread over a wide geographical area.

Mayor Jan Barham said, ‘Byron Shire is a vibrant and educated community that demands Council progress on sustainability and this

presents huge challenges.

How to inform and engage residents so Council can move forward with confidence on projects has been on ongoing dilemma.

E-learning and online programs provide tools to meet this challenge and assist council in moving forward on the path of community engagement.

‘Council is realising that the development of online forums and information is the most efficient, equitable and cost effective way for Council and community members to come together.

Being online does not require people to be at a certain place. Time constraints due to busy lives can mean it is difficult for people to contact Council, a problem that online forums eradicate. It’s

all really exciting, I look forward to seeing what we’ll do next. It is a natural progression for local government and sometimes it is hard to believe it has not happened before now.’

The benefits of both the college and council e-learning strategies are obvious.

For starters, distance from a college or council is no longer an issue and greenhouse gas emissions as a result of travel are reduced.

As for council issues, it is hoped that bringing the community together with Council online will make council more user friendly.

With greater public access to Council, the aim is for more residents to be able to see and discuss issues before they become concrete decisions in chambers.

Your chance to plant a tree in Heritage Park On Saturday December 1 you can become a part of local botanic history by planting a tree in Mullumbimby’s renowned Heritage Park.

like. Morning tea, donated

by Dennetts supermarket, will be provided. Mayor Jan Barham and all councillors have been invited to join in.

The planting will be held near the north-western end of the Riverside tennis courts. The aim is to restore the natural vegetation alongside the riverbank and con-

tinue the fine tradition, begun in 1980, of the Byron Flora and Fauna Conservation Society. Some of the founders of this group will join in the planting.

Mullumbimby residents the late Russ Maslen and his wife Beryl were the driving force behind the creation of Heritage Park and the work of the society. Voluntary

labour cleared the unkempt paddocks of weeds and on June 7, 1980, the first tree was planted out.

Mr Maslen noted in 1996 that over 50 species of birds had been attracted to the park, which holds over 300 species of rainforest trees, and an enthusiast identified 25 species of butterflies over ninety minutes.

week for wealthy schoolies fits into their mandate of providing drug and alcohol information to the community,’ said Cohen.

No, it doesn’t appear to be a particularly good match but then perhaps it’s their way of attracting kids to the site?!

Whether kids take notice of any information provided is often dependent on a combination of things including the sort of boundaries and examples that have been set by parents and other adults, self esteem, peer group pressure and the effect of hormones. Adolescents aren’t renowned for having a great ability to judge the consequences of their actions – but most of us have been there, and some even continue to go there.

As Kerryn York, Nurse Manager at Byron Hospital (and mother of two teenage girls) says, ‘Schoolies is not something that stands out.

Splendour’s there, Blues Festival, Christmas holidays, New Year’s Eve, they all have an impact. Each night is quite different but it’s mainly alcohol-related injuries like lacerations or fractures.’

Encouraging responsible consumption of alcohol at any time of the year is reliant

on a number of factors including the cooperation of licensed premises. Schoolies is big business, whether it’s alcohol consumed on-site or take-aways.

In the majority of cases, as members of the Liquor Accord, licensees do behave responsibly. At a recent RSA refresher course set up by the Accord and conducted

by Liquor and Gaming, 120 security and bar staff from all major venues in town participated. Says Gary Charles from the Byron Bay Liquor Accord, ‘Even Liquor and Gaming were impressed at the turnout.’

On the other hand, there are those caught in the recent covert operation set up to coincide with the beginning of schoolies. In a press statement issued last week Inspector King reported that since schoolies began a number of Byron Bay pubs and clubs had been fined for ‘licensing breaches’ and in two cases under-age kids were allegedly discovered by police in licensed venues.

Gary Charles admits, ‘Obviously it’s an issue we need to keep working on and we’ll be bringing it up at the next meeting. The objective of the Liquor Accord is to reduce the incidence and impact of crime or anti-

social behaviour related to alcohol and we’re committed to doing that.’

Like other community organisations Byron Youth Services is well aware of the impact of alcohol and drugs on young and old alike. Its Street Cruise program runs throughout the year and will be in operation over the schoolies period weekends.

‘We’re also working in conjunction with “Free to Go” (across from the Beach Hotel), which provides information and alcohol-free entertainment for schoolies.

We want kids to have a good time but take it easy and safely, and stay with your mates,’ says BYS Street Cruise Coordinator Deb Pearse.

Generally speaking, the barrage of moderation and safety messages doesn’t seem to be entirely ignored by kids. Misinterpreted possibly, when you consider the difference between adults’ and kids’ definitions of moderation.

There will always be kids who push the envelope and cause discomfort or worse to themselves or others. Some will come through unscathed, some will bear scars large or small and the very unfortunate few may never make it home.

No doubt it’s these thoughts that have many parents in a state of high anxiety during this time, and all the safety messages in the world may not be much comfort. According to a recent ABC radio report, some parents have lessened the anxiety by becoming involved as a volunteer during schoolies.

As KerrynYork says, ‘In the end you’ve got to trust them.

Apart from locking them up you don’t have any choice.

They’re just kids having fun.

It’s up to parents and other adults to set an example and reinforce the message to keep safe, stick with friends, drink responsibly, don’t leave your drink unattended, and be aware of the effects of mixing drugs and alcohol. As a parent you also need to ensure your kids know what to do in an emergency, and who they can contact, no matter what happens.’

As for the rest of us: next time you want to scream at the airhead, egocentric prince/princess who appears to be oblivious to the existence of you or other adults, take three deep breaths, remember that you were young once, that acceptance doesn’t mean condonement, and that it will all be over in a week or so.

New community centre turns 5 Five years ago in December 2002 the Byron Bay Community and Cultural Centre opened its new building to joyful celebrations and a blessing. This year on that day, December 13, another significant event will be part of the celebrations marking those five years.

A plinth will be unveiled dedicated to the many families and friends in the area who have been hurt by the loss of loved ones through drug use and overuse. It will be unveiled by Theo Chang,

north coast coordinator of Family Drug Support, an organisation helping families adjust to their grief. He will also give the inaugural annual lecture on matters of interest to our community.

‘It is appropriate because the BCCC has in the past been responsible for support services for the community and in particular the mentally ill including setting up BayAMI, both the youth and general refuges, emergency relief and housing services such as the methadone

clinic, court support, legal advice etc,’ says BCCC. ‘The organisation hopes that in future years it will continue to respond to this community’s needs as they arise.’

Local News Dashing through the e ro roundabouts oun Jann Gilbert A chorus of nine golden bells greeted community members who turned out last Friday evening to see the lights go up on the Byron Bay Christmas tree. The tree, and other festive decorations and lighting around town, are funded by Byron United members.

Onlookers at the tree ceremony were entertained by Byron Circus Arts performers and Santa made a brave dash through Jonson Street traffic on this trusty motor steed, delivering a shower of lollies for all the kids.

As part of the official ceremony Father Gary Priest, Anglican Minister for Byron Bay, blessed the tree before the lights went on to a resounding cheer of approval from the crowd.

Byron United President Ed Ahern thanked everyone involved. ‘It’s just fantastic.

It’s a great community event and a symbol of the community spirit in town’.

As part of the overall festivities Byron United is giving business owners in town the chance to win $1000 for

Best Decorated Store, and there are also $700 worth of prizes for the Best Decorated Home.

‘This has brought life to our community and a sense

of unity,’ says Father Gary.

‘It’s wonderful to see families and children of all ages get together. Byron United can be proud of what they’ve achieved’.

Human rights light a flame At 10am on Sunday December 2 Byron Bay will welcome the arrival of the Human Rights Torch at Railway Park.

In the lead-up to the 2008 Olympics the Torch Relay aims to raise awareness of human rights abuses in China. The Relay is inspired by the Olympic Torch Relay and is particularly focused on the persecution and reported organ harvesting of practitioners of Falun Gong.

The relay visits major cities as well as regional areas throughout the country.

The Global Human Rights Torch Relay has already received overwhelming support in Australia, and throughout the world. Your support for the Byron Bay leg of the Human Rights Torch Relay will help make human dignity a priority in the lead up to the 2008 Olympics.

A gay old time ahead for Byron tourism Jann Gilbert As the advertising manager for the New York-based, gay The Guide magazine Matt Mathrani has a dream job: travelling the world to source stories, photos and advertising from premier gay tourist destinations.

Last week, as guest of Byron Bay Pink Guide publisher Michael Beasley, Matt was in Byron Bay to hold meetings with travel and tourism providers throughout the region.

Says Michael, ‘Byron is a favourite destination for gay

travellers and with the 30th anniversary of Mardi Gras next year The Guide is planning a big feature to attract international travellers.’

Dubbed a Lonely Planet for gays the The Guide features information on ‘where to stay, best beaches, bar-hopping, best restaurants, transport…

Basically it tells you what to do and where to go from the moment you get off the plane,’ says Matt.

‘The gay travel scene is a huge market and The Guide has grown out of that. We distribute 33,000 copies each

month to major cities all over the US and we’re building new markets in Europe.

There’s a lot of money in gay travel. They’re generally professional people, double income, no kids, they’re environmentally aware. Just the sort of tourists you want.’

Michael believes it’s a great opportunity for tourism providers in Byron Bay and surrounding areas. ‘The exposure that Byron will get from this is phenomenal. It’s worth around $70 million a year to the Northern Rivers region. Byron is likely to become the premier

gay destination in Australia over the next five years.’

Mayor Jan Barham, who was at the meeting, also believes that it’s a positive opportunity for tourism in Byron. ‘My prime concern is to attract people to the area who respect and appreciate it.

You’re talking about a market that has a high level of awareness that our community is comfortable with.’

Bruns craft studio opens to public Story & photo Lou Beaumont Wheel of Life Studios in Brunswick Heads is having an open day this Saturday December 1. The open day will be the first of an ongoing monthly community event featuring clay workshops, fresh and healthy snacks and textile craft activities.

Partners in the Wheel of Life, ceramicist Lucy Vanstone and textile designer Kathy Stefanac of Oiko, invite everyone to join them for creation and relaxation in the studio or under the tree in the garden.

Make your own clay reindeer with Lucy, with proceeds going towards a much needed new kiln for the studio. The gathering is casual so come and play with clay, have a go on the wheel and gain an experience in firing.

Lucy told The Echo, ‘I have a firing service here at the studio and in the past I have paid for kiln maintenance myself but unfortunately the time has come where I need help if I am to keep up this service that I like to provide.’

Lucy will be running a different project each month, giving kids something to look forward to each time.

The workshops also coincide with the Brunswick Heads

market day for extra family fun and convenience.

Kathy Stefanac of Oiko will be offering a sustainable Christmas decorations and cards project this Saturday.

Oiko, launched by Kathy in

2005 with a vision to create environmentally sustainable fashion and textile-based home furnishings, produces fair trade, hemp textiles and handbags. All products are handmade and produced

with a sound ethical business practice that empowers the skilled artisans in Laos and Vietnam, fusing contemporary Australian design and traditional South-East Asian handcraft techniques.

Kathy says, ‘Proceeds from the open day project will go to the Healing Family Foundation in Chaing Mai. It is an organisation that supports people with special needs. I had the opportunity to meet the weavers firsthand and was very impressed with their work.’

Both handmade creations, Lucy’s earthy stonewares and Kathy’s textiles, are sold in art gallerys and boutique homeware stores throughout Australia. On the first Saturday of each month, visitors have the opportunity to create a new pottery or sustainable textile project overseen

by Kathy and Lucy.

Starting this Saturday December 1, come and be creative anytime from 10-4pm at the Wheel of Life Studios behind St Thomas Church on Fingal St Brunswick Heads. Phone 6685 1442 for more information.

These open days also give visitors the opportunity to sift through seconds of Lucy’s and Kathy’s beautiful work at the studio shop.

Renewed call to practise safe sex With HIV/AIDS infection rates at the highest level in seven years, he hNorth Coast Area Health Service and ACON are calling for a renewed focus on safe-sex strategies, urging all Australians to remember that ‘prevention is everybody’s business’.

In a message to mark World AIDS Day, Saturday December 1, Professor Andrew Grulich, Acting Chair of the NSW Ministerial Advisory Committee on HIV and Sexually Transmissible Infections said, ‘Australians of all ages and backgrounds are affected by HIV/

AIDS – women, men, children, gay, straight, single, married, young and old. We need to continue to be informed about HIV/AIDS, in order to work towards reducing new infections as well as discrimination.’

Dr Tania Lienert, the manager of ACON Northern Rivers, says working together, both locally and globally, is the only way to stop the spread of HIV and reduce the impact of AIDS. ‘So on World AIDS Day, we’re asking people to protect themselves and their partners by using condoms when having sex. We’re ask-

ing people to never share needles and to get tested regularly for HIV and other sexually transmitted infections.’

More than 16,000 Australians currently live with HIV/AIDS, with an estimated 450 living within the area covered by the North Coast Area Health Service.

Despite the fact that it’s been 25 years since the identification of HIV, people living with HIV/AIDS are still facing barriers accessing healthcare services, accommodation and insurance, as well as prejudice within the work environment.

Alarmingly, as rates of new HIV diagnoses increase, so too has the perception in some quarters, that new treatments have lessened the seriousness of HIV/AIDS. Professor Grulich stressed that, ‘Early access to HIV testing and treatments allows many people with HIV infection to live longer and enjoy a better quality of life. However, people need to be aware that there is still no cure for HIV/AIDS.’ To find out more about local World AIDS day events, visit www.worldaidsdaynsw. org.au.

Local News

Holiday letting: nothing happened Michael McDonald A debate of some 90 minutes last Thursday by Byron Shire Councillors failed to resolve any holiday letting issues for Council or the community as a whole.

The debate was prefaced by comments from longtime locals Ann McCabe and Paul McCarthy who outlined the frustration of residents repeatedly having their peace and quiet disturbed.

Mr McCarthy said Council should have a management policy and put up as a guide the ‘house rules’ devised by the Holiday Letting Organisation (HLO) for short term lessees.

Ms McCabe said, ‘People are making a lot of money at the expense of the community. They’re absentee landlords and you won’t see them in front of the shopping centre selling raffle tickets for the community. It’s getting worse and it’s not going to go away.’

The debate began with a successful rescission motion (5-4, Cr Ray Kestle absent)

on a recent motion by Cr Ross Tucker that ‘Council does not consider the possible tenures of leases, tariffs and accommodation agreements in its merit assessments of development applications’.

It then moved to a notice of motion by Cr Peter Westheimer for Council to introduce ‘a development application and/or licensing system or differential rate for holiday lettings in the Shire wide LEP’. The ambiguity of this proposal was gradually changed, by a process of debate best described as woeful, to that Council requires an approval system for holiday letting.

Cr Jan Mangleson then put up an amendment that Council ‘consider’ a clause in the draft LEP, workshopped the previous day with some councillors and planning staff, which in part would allow holiday letting in low density residential zones and medium density residential zones. Neither the ‘consideration’ nor the

call for an ‘approval system’ provide any immediate change to the status quo.

In any case the majority of councillors was not happy with either proposal. Cr Westheimer’s effort went down 5-4, and Cr Mangleson’s amendment bombed 8-1. No further luck was had

by Cr Tucker with his foreshadowed motion to have Council staff liaise with the HLO with the aim of developing a management system to set a standard of social behaviour for short term residential occupancy – lost 5-4.

It seems we may have a wait out until 2009 for the new shirewide LEP for any restrictions on holiday letting and, unless residents are particularly vociferous, they will be allowed in residential zones. In the meantime, as Paul McCarthy noted, it’s ‘lawyers at ten paces’ if Council tries to enforce its 1988 LEP. It is obviously a compliance issue which Council staffers don’t have the

resources to enforce – and the elected Council as a whole doesn’t have the will to do so. It is also a policing issue in relation to offensive behaviour, and Ms McCabe noted that police have been helpful in responding to residents’ complaints; perhaps they could use their new lockdown powers.

Mayor Jan Barham gave an impassioned speech about the loss of the soul of Byron Bay, the loss of 263 permanent residencies to short term accommodation at high rental, and ‘messages going back to the tourism industry we’re a rip-off town’.

Welcome to the free market economy, which any templates in the hands of NSW planning minister Frank Sartor are unlikely to moderate. In the unthinkable category, like death and the end of the world, is the possibility that visitors eventually will get jack of the Bay and go elsewhere, thereby freeing up homes to become homes again.

Byron takes major urban design prizes The elite of the architecture and development communities turned up at the new Fins at Salt restaurant last Thursday night, where Byron Bay excelled at the 2007 Mayne Investments Northern Rivers Urban Design Awards Dinner.

‘Byron developments took the top awards in all of the categories amongst a very strong line-up of projects,’ says Awards Chair Steve Connelly.

Troppo Architects’ commercial and residential development on the corner of Bay and Fletcher Streets received both the overall Grand Winner prize and the Award For Excellence in the Public Domain category.

The Byron at Byron Resort, Spa and Conference Centre received the Award for Excellence in two categories,

Sustainability and Private Domain.

Eight projects were awarded altogether, including the A&I Hall in Bangalow, which received a Merit Award in the Sustainability category and ‘Defining Bruns’ by University of Melbourne students, which took a Merit Award in the Planning, Analysis and Research Category.

The Urban Design Awards Jury Chair, Phillip Follent (City Architect for the Gold Coast City Council) praised the local industry, saying ‘The Jury noticed during its travels that there was a tangible community spirit evident in many of the projects and a desire by councils to firstly, capitalise on the best assets of the area and secondly, to make more of ordinar y and sometimes

neglected spaces to do something special for their citizens. Overall the entries exhibit quality in their intent and mostly in execution with some excelling on both counts. I wish many were in fact on the Gold Coast.’

Yet at the same time Mr Follent advised that councils be vigilant and have the right staff to assess the appropriateness of design decisions.

‘While it is natural for planning sections of councils to have planners, it is also essential that their skills are complemented by staff who are trained in design, such as architects and landscape architects, who can provide invaluable assistance in the assessment process… More well articulated, robust assessment decisions are much more legally defensible and the investment in

well trained and qualified credible staff is far less than potentially very expensive court costs.’

The legacy of John Winston Howard Vol 22 #25

November 27, 2007

A big job ahead Congratulations to Justine Elliot, who easily retained the seat of Richmond, helped along by the national swing to Labor.

Judging by Kevin Rudd’s acceptance speech, he expects a lot of all his MPs, and Ms Elliot has the added responsibility of a demanding electorate. Now she has been so convincingly returned by the trust of the electors, we expect her to fulfil that trust. It will begin with the honouring of promises such as $1.5 million for the sport and cultural centre off Ewingsdale Road. We also hope that Mr Rudd’s policies on health and education will see the much-needed injection of funds into schools, hospitals and outreach services on the north coast.

In the area of town and environmental planning, Ms Elliot can now do a lot to get herself up to speed on the issues facing the seachange councils. A long chat with the local mayors would be a good place to start.

Locally, the standard of the campaigns by the major contenders was disappointing, relying mostly on scare tactics and clichés. We are indebted to Giovanni Ebono of the Greens for providing some fun and some intellectual content. We hope Ms Elliot keeps in mind the influence of the green vote in the electorate and realises that we expect more than party rhetoric on environmental issues.

Mr Rudd began his career as PM with a promise to be inclusive, an appeal for an egalitarian society without the usual divisions such as big business pitted against unionism. It is a starry-eyed beginning which will be quickly subsumed into the realpolitik of dealing with vested interests.

Australia’s future is to a great degree beyond the nation’s control – despite departing PM John Howard ramping it up as ‘a great country’ – hostage to international market trends and the looming consequences of climate change. But Rudd’s election brings hope that the challenges will be faced head on.

And congratulations also to Julia Gillard, Australia’s first female deputy prime minister. It has been a long time coming but finally a determined woman has kicked a hole in the glass ceiling of the domain protected so fiercely by the boy’s club.

Playing safely Our reporter Jann Gilbert canvasses most of the issues associated with schoolies in her front page story this week. It’s an exciting time for teenagers released from the confines of school and also a potentially dangerous time partying in a town like Byron Bay with its dark underbelly as well as its bright attractions. Obviously there will be a certain amount of aggro and bad behaviour – which is not the sole province of visitors – but we hope most schoolies will have a fabulous time and respect the Shire’s environmental values which make it a great place to visit. A little politeness to locals would also go a long way.

We would especially like to remind schoolies and other visitors to be wary of drink spiking. Do not leave your drinks unattended and certainly do not accept drinks from dodgy strangers.

J

ohn Winston Howard was Australia’s second longest-serving Prime Minister, presiding almost unchallenged over the political landscape for well over a decade.

His time in government cannot be dismissed lightly.

However it can be dismissed heavily, so here goes.

Even on his political deathbed, Howard insisted that his government had delivered great economic reform. In fact in almost 12 years he implemented just three important changes, all of highly dubious merit.

The first was to move the responsibility for monetary policy from the elected government to the governmentappointed Reserve Bank.

This meant that he no longer had to take the blame for rises in interest rates, while of course continuing to demand the credit for falls. This early switch developed into a pattern: throughout his prime ministership, Howard steadfastly refused to accept responsibility for anything.

Only on Saturday night, with nothing left to lose, was he prepared to own up.

Howard’s second legacy was the never-ever GST, a particularly nasty piece of regressive taxation whose only virtue is its universality; if a GST is absolutely comprehensive it is impossible to avoid. By compromising with Democrats to exempt some so-called essential items, Howard destroyed even this advantage. The GST remains an unfair and lazy way of collecting revenue, and has led to an immensely complicated series of benefits and handouts to compensate for its ill effects. It is now entrenched as a monument to Howard’s political dishonesty and economic incompetence.

The third innovation was,

of course, WorkChoices.

Unheralded and badly thought out, this grab-bag of ideological thuggery was thrust upon a startled electorate when an unexpected opportunity arose, and the results are now clear. Some of its worst features have already been quietly disposed of, and most of the rest will go as soon as the senate allows.What is left will indeed constitute reform of the industrial relations system; but it will not be the ‘reform’ of which Howard boasted.

Howard’s other claim is that he leaves Australia a stronger, prouder and more prosperous country than he found it.

Stronger? Well, that it depends how you measure it.

Howard huggers have always claimed that in international

overall wealth has grown, although Howard has had very little to do with that. But we are also far, far deeper in debt, and less secure as a result. By an economist’s measure, our material wealth has grown; but if prosperity is seen as a wider indicator of quality of life, as genuine happiness, Howard failed us badly.

And if we are wealthier, at what cost? We are certainly not the people we were in 1996 when the government last changed.

For more than eleven years, John Howard led us on a voyage driven by greed and fear, into parochialism and paranoia, selfishness and racism, bigotry and corruption, and other dark places in the Australian psyche where we never should have gone. It was a

It was a mean and ugly trip, and it will take us all a long time to recover.

by Mungo MacCallum affairs, Australia now punches above its weight. What they actually mean is that Howard was duchessed by George Bush, who found him a very amenable acolyte. The rest of the world saw us in that light.

Stronger should mean more independent, and self-confident. The only bit of Australia in which those qualities are more obvious is the Australian cricket team.

Prouder, then? Certainly more arrogant, less tolerant – the pride that is counted among the seven deadly sins.

But prouder of real and lasting achievement? What achievement?

And more prosperous – some people certainly are, much; and the country’s

mean and ugly trip, and it will take us all a long time to recover.

As he left the Wentworth hotel on Saturday night surrounded by his weeping and cheering entourage of orcs my main feeling was not of exultation or even euphoria, but of relief – the same sort of reaction as I had to Cathy Freeman’s win at the Sydney Olympics, or at the moment, 17 years ago, when I stubbed out my last cigarette. The result was long-anticipated and entirely welcome, but how dreadful I and many others would have felt if it had not happened.

And on that note spare a thought for Labor’s patriarch, Gough Whitlam, who against

most expectations has survived to see another Labor government in Canberra.

The final word should be his: a great quotation which he used in another context altogether, but which is utterly appropriate for November 24, 2007: E quindi uscimmo a reverder le stelle.

It is the last line of Dante’s Inferno, describing the poet’s return from hell, and it means: And thence we emerged, to see the stars again.

But if Howard was wrong about most things, he at least got Peter Costello right.

For eleven years the man sat there drooling, lusting after the leadership of his party, talking up a storm to his credulous colleagues, plotting with sycophants, sending out his dwarfish messenger Glenn Milne to relate improbable stories of his talent and support. He never actually had the guts to do anything about it, but by golly he let it be known that when the opportunity came, he would show us all.

And when his party was not only ready to offer him the prize, was indeed in real need of his services, Costello spat the dummy right out of the ground. Prime Minister, with all the trappings of office and all the resources of government, would be just fine; but leader of the opposition, the challenge Kevin Rudd took on at precisely Costello’s age before sweeping to victory in less than a year, looked just a little too much like hard work. Poor Petey-pie, too old at fifty, too lazy at any time.

When his colleagues are considering a farewell gift for him, they should pass over the gold watch and all chip in for an iron lung. This would at least remove any lingering doubt over whether Peter Costello would work in one.

Council consulting Council is consulting and will contact approximately 600 residents to ascertain priorities for the coming planning period. In case you are not aware, every time we have a reasonable amount of rain (100mls or thereabouts) in Mullumbimby hundreds of litres of raw sewage pour into the Brunswick River and has no trouble reaching Brunswick Heads. If we get a survey it is hoped your number one priority is to repair/replace our obsolete and broken sewage piping system.

This should be done before we complete the new sewerage works at Valances Road (cost $30 million approx). Council intends spending $1.5 million over three years to try and fix the sewer pipes but they have been trying and spending big dollars (seven figures) for years to very little effect. The existing pipes are old, deep, affected by trees and located extensively in a floodprone, poor draining and waterlogged landscape. It would seem sensible to replace these old pipes with new ones, and $1.5m would go a long way to stopping this disposal of raw sewage into our river and onto our beaches.

Transgender issues If you blinked your eyes, you mightn’t have noticed that Tuesday last week (November 20) was worldwide Transgender Day of Remembrance. Sadly, it attracted no media attention whatever.

Transgender refers to ‘gender identity’. It means the person doesn’t behave according to what others

In defence of the bridlepath The bridlepath or community trail is a great project that will be of benefit to many in a very low key way.

It will inconvenience few, if any, although as usual there will be fears of the end of the world as we know it.

Unlike the festivals it will not have any adverse impact on our local infrastructure but on the contrary will add to it. As for those landholders who are objecting to it, I think you should also take a deep breath and recognise that no-one is going to demolish sheds or houses and no trail user is going to want to see what you’re eating for breakfast. In most instances solutions can be arrived at through negotiation. The bottom line is that

these crown reserves are community land and that the current legal situation means that anyone who knows where the reserves lie can legally traverse them even with a car.

The bridlepath will effectively do only two things. It will make the pathways clear and signposted and it will prevent motorised use. It will also allow more wildlife corridor plantings on the verges and can be a great co-project with landcare groups. The two are quite compatible and there are already locations in the shire where the two co-exist in harmony.

Finally, while the bridlepath currently enjoys full support from Council, the

reserves themselves are not under the control of Council. Nevertheless, I would hope that those councillors under pressure from objecting residents will maintain their resolve to continue to support this worthy project because at the end of the day they will be proud to bear witness to its completion.

Support, by the way, doesn’t mean Council’s money. We are a community group who roll up our sleeves and do what’s necessary. I reckon this shire could do with a bit more all-round friendliness, a few more waves and a few less fingers.

It includes Transsexual, Cross-dressing, Transvestite, and Androgynous. In short, people who are ‘different’ in ways that challenge our conventional notions of male and female, masculine and feminine.

But why ‘Remembrance’?

Why not ‘Celebration’?

That’s because of violence.

We remember the many who’ve lost their lives as a result of violence just because of who they are. They are murdered simply because others don’t accept their right to exist.

At least one transgender person in the USA loses their life each month because of social prejudice and religion-based bigotry. The same is probably true here – we don’t keep statistics.

Being the target of immense hatred and intolerance, transgender people have nevertheless been the first to proudly take a stand for social justice for all kinds

of people who are different.

So, next time you notice someone who doesn’t fit your preconceived notions of masculine and feminine, don’t turn away. Meet them and tell them how proud you are to have met a Very Special Person.

Because that’s what they are.

With one of the key insecticides used in chemical macadamia growing, endosulfan, slated for a global ban because of its persistence and bio-accumulation in the environment, it’s probably a good time for local growers to consider converting their farms to organic production.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if the Northern Rivers Region became a world leader in organic macadamia production!

Organic macas Lovers of macadamias and macadamia growers may be interested in a recent publication by the NSW Department of Primary Industries: ‘Organic Macadamia Growing’ Primefact 685. The Primefact provides the basic information for any farmer considering growing their macadamias organically, negating the use of toxic insecticides and herbicides currently used in chemical systems.

Despite repeated claims by many in the industry that it ‘can’t be done’, the very existence of the new Primefact is evidence in itself that it can be done and what’s more, organic macadamias command a premium price.

Letters continued from page 11

Splendour

the safety of land when a great white came up next to them during a surfing lesson last week (almost certainly the same shark that attacked a kayaker a few weeks earlier) should be truly enough warning that authorities should act quickly, and in a way that will have some positive outcome. Chasing sharks out to sea in a boat, which is what was done to the great white after the kayak attack, obviously doesn’t count for anything, as the sharks just swim back.

To say that humans are in the shark’s domain when they enter the ocean as a rationale for not taking action is like saying we shouldn’t protect ourselves from a virus, bacteria or other pathogen. Viruses and similar lifeforms have been on earth a lot longer than humans; we are in that sense, living in their domain, yet not many would argue that we should allow them to have free rein to decimate the population.

Gold Coast beaches, only an hour north of Byron, have been meshed for many years, as have Sydney beaches, and many others worldwide, such as in South Africa.

Meshing the beaches doesn’t eradicate sharks completely, but it does reduce the number of sharks, lessening the likelihood of attacks.

I would like to respond to comments made by Mat Morris of Splendour in the Grass (Letters, November 20).

The DA for Splendour mentions 22,500 patrons plus 2,000 staff and performers, so that is very close to 25,000 attendees. As well, 15,000 cars are expected on the site each day. This is an intensive use of the land.

While we are talking numbers: 66% is cleared land, not 70%, and that is a difference of 10ha.

As for Morris’s comment that ‘Billinudgel Nature Reserve and the forest blocks …will be fenced off’, this action will have a negative impact on the reserve and the wildlife corridor. The purpose of the corridor is to link the reserve to the hinterland forests. Stopping the freedom of movement of wildlife in and out of the reserve for 30 days is not a good idea. According to the DA it will take 21 days to ‘bump in’ the temporary infrastructure for the three day event and seven days to ‘bump out’. How many events will there be each year?

I note that the Splendour proposal includes rehabilitation planting to the south of Jones Road. This is good, however Splendour plans a carpark area south of Jones Road and the access road between the carpark and the Mark Abriel festival site will go through Byron Bay the proposed rehabilitation

area. So the rehabilitation will be of little value to the local fauna.

Good on you for organising tree planting sessions and allocating funds to worthy causes. Philanthropy is a wonderful thing but it does not change the fact that your proposed development is an industrial music event situated in the wrong place.

Serious issues for north Byron Shire Q Regarding Rene Thalmann’s letter (Echo, November 20). My desire is to make sure that all the correct information regarding the north of the shire is out there for all people to digest and make their own opinions. It is always backed up with evidence and proof, it is not my opinion.

The information I gave in my last letter is of grave concern to not only NOS, OS, NB, SGB, but also The Sustainable Coastal Villages Alliance (article, Tweed Sun, November 22.) This Alliance consists of all resident groups between Tweed River to the Brunswick River which are deeply concerned as they are affected by the same issues

of planning along this very ecologically sensitive part of the coastline. Because we have so many enormous DAs which are going to affect our floodplain you will be hearing a lot more about and from us in the near future. So my ‘narrow agenda’, as you put it, is looked at by these groups as terribly relevant, and in need of extreme consideration and worry for our area.

I would also like to let you know that the list of things you mentioned in your letter have already been looked into and approximately half have been deemed by different departments as not happening. Although the Alliance is in place and is an

active base, we recognise the potential that is there for the community when we share information with all community groups.

Kathy Norley

South Golden Beach Q I heard Kathy Norley’s recent presentation to the Ocean Shores Community Association (OSCA). It was fact-filled and informative, reflecting extensive research done by Kathy and by the community associations and groups who have recently banded together as a Byron/ Tweed residents’ alliance.

Kathy does not have a ‘narrow agenda’ as Rene Thalmann claims; she has an informed perspective that

shire residents need to hear.

As Kathy pointed out (Letters, November 13), the proposed Dunloe Park quarry, the Wooyung development, the Kallaroo Circuit Bund, and the relocation of Splendour in the Grass raise serious issues for those who live in north Byron Shire and south Tweed Shire. We must recognise the negative environmental and social effects that these developments, individually and collectively, will have on our lives. To do so, we need the broad perspective which Kathy offered to OSCA and that the new alliance offers to all area residents.

coast where we were sell food, bracelets and other things on the beaches to tourists to help raise money to keep their families fed, and to pay for English classes so they can hope for a job in tourism and hospitality when they get older (tourism is booming in Cambodia). Sadly, many of the kids are still selling late into the night when the beach bars are full and many people are drunk.

The sad fact is that those who are poorest and those who are uneducated end up either in very low paid employment, or in prostitution. Human trafficking of young women and children is rife in the area and Sihanoukville has become a haven for international sex tourism.

While we were in Southern Cambodia we were spending time with children, their families and the schools and also networking with family and friends back home. We have managed to get 14 children into school through our network. This involves a small payment direct to the school for tuition and does not involve any NGO or aid agency or wages and funds being siphoned off for infra-

structure, as the schools and teaching staff are already in place and have been so for a decade or more. It costs around $100 a year to intervene in this way and change a life.

If anyone wants to directly assist a poor child in a high risk situation, and by doing so assist their family and extended family network, please email us at russelllean8@gmail.com and we will put you in touch with Mr Sek Samrith, the manager of the Regent English School in Sihanoukville, and give you further information about the small costs involved in helping in other ways.

Please help the children!

Hypocrisy There are none so blind as those who choose not to see.

I find it interesting and rather curious that The Echo (‘Facing Climate Change’) waxes eloquent on carbon emissions and the link to climate change when the newspaper circulates 22,300 copies of a free newspaper each week.

Many of these befoul the footpath after rain, but regardless of this the key issue here is that the citizens of Byron Bay, some of whom

Credit crisis The crisis in the US housing and credit market continues to affect major banks and financial institutions in

the US and around the world. Mounting bank losses and tightening credit are deepening the housing slump and impacting retail sales, hi tech business and corporate profit as a whole.

Stockmarkets around the world are becoming more unstable, while confidence in the credit worthiness of major global financial institutions is dropping, causing banks to be more reluctant to lend to each other or other corporations.

The US dollar has dropped 16% this year, destabilising the global financial system. It hurts exports from countries with strong currencies such as the EU and Japan, and fuels

inflation in oil exporting Persian gulf states that base their currencies on the dollar. Countries with a lot of US dollar dominated assets are seeing the value of their holdings erode, fueling talk of shifting to other currencies such as the Euro.

On a foreign cultural level the dollar is also becoming less acceptable. In India for example, the dollar is no longer allowed as payment to visit culture sites such as the Taj Mahal, where it used to be encouraged.

The erosion of the dollar appears to reflect a crisis in a global economic system that is centred in the centre of the system itself.

Expanding the vision of the visually impaired Jann Gilbert Georgee Withadharma from Skinners Shoot has been having a wow of a time at her first Vision Camp, an annual five-day camp for visually impaired students.

Each year, Vision Support teachers organise the camp to enable vision-impaired kids from Years 2 to 12 to experience a variety of recreational and social activities. This year’s Vision Camp was based at Hastings Point and involved 32 students from across the North Coast and New England regions.

‘Ten of these students are blind and use Braille to complete their work at school.

Other students have low vision and use a variety of strategies such as; large print, magnification and special software,’ says Anita Raftery, Assistant Principal with Vision Support Far North Coast Networks.

Students on the camp get involved in many outdoor and indoor ‘hands-on’ activities. This year the camp included a visit to Dreamworld (a definite favourite of the kids by all accounts), and a trip to Byron Bay’s Circus School (another group favourite), the Lighthouse and Byron Bay Gliders.

‘The opportunity for “hands on” exploration

means that our students gain a deeper understanding of concepts, many of which sighted people take for granted,’ says Anita. ‘Apart from the fun of camp activities, we also focus on skill development in a number of areas, such as social skills and daily living skills. This year, the older students planned, shopped for, and cooked an evening meal for

all of us, while the younger students worked together to clean up after dinner.’

Some of the kids on the camp, like Georgee, have been blind since birth. Some, quite tragically, have become blind, like 14-year-old Kerry Field from Port Macquarie who, as a result of a tumour on her pituitary gland, became blind overnight when she was 11. In spite of her vision loss

and other health issues, Kerry is planning on doing law at Newcastle University.

Other students have vision impairment related to physical conditions such as muscular atrophy and some (who look perfectly normal) suffer from cortical vision impairment.What they have in common is their incredible determination and enthusiasm for new experiences, which they

take on with relish.

‘Just because they have a visual impairment doesn’t mean they can’t have a life,’ says teacher Beth Patterson.

And seeing the look of sheer joy on many of their faces on the flying trapeze and other circus arts activities certainly confirmed that.

Many of the kids also use the camp as an opportunity to catch up with friends they

have met on previous camps and, often, it’s the interaction with kids in similar circumstances that keeps them going. At camp, they’re not the odd one out.

‘They help one another, both younger and older,’ says Beth. ‘You’ll often see a couple of the little kids with canes leading each other. “Come here, I’ll lead you,” they say.

They never complain, they’re an amazing group.’

Amazing is probably an understatement when you consider that they feel lucky in comparison to 14-year-old Jake, who is also deaf but certainly doesn’t let that stand in his way. He’s the group’s computer wiz and cameraman (video and stills), and he’s also putting together a PowerPoint presentation on the camp. Jake does all this with five degrees central vision; sighted people have around 180 degrees vision.

He signs to his Vision Support teacher to tell me ‘that he wants to get as many donations as possible to buy all the kids the equipment they need because they need lots of expensive equipment and they don’t have enough.’

The goosebumps rise on my arms and it’s hard to keep the tears back. Jake heads off to catch the bus and his next adventure.

Mary Gardner Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that feeling of a carnival under way around the Woolworthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supermarket.

Cars clog the bitumen from the road to each of the parking spaces. People are everywhere. From the wildly varied looks of them, they come from everywhere. There is lots of movement and excitement. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the time of year?

Ah yes, November. Summer is coming. I remembered thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daylight saving and timed my walking so I reach the front of the supermarket as the dusk begins.

Between the footpath and the parking spaces, there are some Philodendrum selloum.

Camera at the ready, I am stalking them.

Oh I know the philodendrons are common enough plants. Although they originate in the Central and South American tropics, they traveled the world with European sailors since the 1600s. They are easy to grow, indoors and out. They do have roots of their own but when they can climb another tree and be supported, they will. They are epiphytes. Philo is Greek for â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;fond of, love ofâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Dendro is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;treeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

Recently I learned something so amazing I could hardly believe it. Now I am as 21st century as anyone else with my technology and my shopping. I like to think that after being here in Byron for a year, I am getting a bit integrated socially. I like music and I like red wine. I am getting to know Australian politics.

But in spite of this, what am I doing? Hooked by this bit of news, I am now like any intrepid jungle explorer.

I am off the beaten path, lurking under large leaves,

up to my ankles in blown paper, rubbish and big ants.

At the heart of each of these plants are three or four large green buds each as big and tough as a large green banana. There! Focus the camera. One of them isâ&#x20AC;Ś â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hey, you some sort of perv in the bushes there or what?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I look up, startled. There are two young men, beer bottles in hand, jeering at me. Uh oh, I guess Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not as hip as all that. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high school all over again. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still the nerd, the weirdo. Fair game for every amusing heckling spree that takes the fancy of those cool tough guys and gals.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re schoolies, arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t they? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard about them.

Young adults who come from afar to bask in the early summer heat, to soak up sun and alcohol in some bizarre ritual outing far from home. They seek

release after the last of their secondary school exams. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a weirdo, arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; After all these years, far from enrolment in any school, this canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be happening to me. No, it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Actually, nothing to do with me,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I say. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s this plant, actually. I mean you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe this.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Yeah, right.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I gesture to them. Come here.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know why they do but they walk over, snickering. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hold this here,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I say, pointing out the subject of my photo shoot. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Naw, look at it! It looks like a diddle!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; The other man reaches out and wraps his hand around the large white centre of the ďŹ&#x201A;ower in bloom. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Oh youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a perv, Greg, a real perv.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Shit, Jim, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hot. Wow.

Look! Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really cool.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I start talking. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The thick white centre stalk. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called a spadix. It has three types of ďŹ&#x201A;orets.

The female ones are at the top. The infertile male ones are in the middle and fertile male ones at the base. Yes, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hot: 38 to 46°C. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the very few plants in the entire world that heats up.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Why? Well thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aromatherapy: the warmth burns off an attractive scent. Beetles go wild. The whole bud itself becomes a cosy-up for these creatures who like a honeymoon suite in a hot romantic setting. The different ďŹ&#x201A;orets will open at different stages of the 24 hours of blooming. Finally, the male ones at the bottom open and dust the visiting beetles with pollen. The insects will take this to a new ďŹ&#x201A;ower.

For a moment, Greg and Jim, like me, are all caught up as are the beetles by the extravagance of the Philodendrum ďŹ&#x201A;ower. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something in our human imagination that responds with interest to these exquisite mundane details. But only if we notice.

How are we to notice?

How are we to get to know all these small facts? How can we put them together?

How can each of us learn to see beyond all the brand names and the latest gossip?

For all of the bingeing we do â&#x20AC;&#x201C; alcohol, petrol, ethanol, you name it â&#x20AC;&#x201C; how can we get a grip?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all there, from the most ancient times: these handme-downs. Each species.

Each history. Each interrelationship. Our ecology.

Help graphics boy wonder Jann Gilbert Tane (pronounced Ta-nay) Richardson is a talented and industrious young man who has managed to score a Distinction for his multimedia course at Kingscliff TAFE (through Byron High School) and get his artwork shortlisted for ArtXpress, a prestigious art exhibition in Sydney that showcases the best of HSC art and design – all without a computer.

‘He’s been accepted into Graphic Design at Kingscliff in 2008 and he really needs a computer to give him the same opportunities as the other students,’ says Tane’s mother Shelley. ‘I’m so proud of him. For the last three years, under less than ideal conditions, he’s achieved so much.’

Melissa Her tzberg , spokesperson for Byron Bay High School P&C, also acknowledged Tane’s list of achievements under difficult circumstances and encouraged his appeal for help.

Tane badly needs a new computer with a fair amount of grunt, a graphics card and software, multimedia programs and, in his dreams, wireless broadband. Anyone who can help, please contact Tane or Shelley on 6685 7213.

Dog attack DNA pack A new dog attack DNA kit will allow NSW local councils, livestock owners and police investigators to easily gather canine DNA evidence at dog attack scenes. The DNA kit has been developed

by DNA testing company Genetic Technologies.

Head of Genetic Technologies DNA testing, Ian Smith, says while estimates put the number of dog attacks in Australia as high as 100,000, most of these attacks go unsolved.

‘In the event of a dog attack, there is usually ample canine DNA material left at the attack scene,’ he says.

The canine DNA collection kit comes with swabs, gloves, tamper evidence bags and how-to instructions.

DNA collected is then sent to the Genetic Technologies’ laboratories where a team of scientists extracts the canine DNA. The extracted DNA is then compared to the DNA taken from dog suspects.

‘We are making DNA technologies available to all dog attack investigators who may require additional evidence to prosecute rogue dog owners,’ says Mr Smith.

Tim Edwards A few months back a Californian shark expert responded to an attack by a white pointer shark on a New York surfer with a piece of homespun wisdom that reflected his own experience, training and prejudices. In paraphrase, he told New York Times readers that the surfer who was surfing there today was unlucky... but the surfer surďŹ ng at the same spot tomorrow is just plain dumb.

By his standards, Byron Shire is full of a whole bunch of really dumb folks. In this town where the majority of our community have some kind of connection to the magniďŹ cent ocean that borders our town to the North, South and East, one would have to be permanently dwelling under a rock to not know that the last few months have brought us an unusually high number of shark-related incidents. Yet, day-in, dayout, surfers ďŹ ll our surďŹ ng spots from dawn to dusk, exercise swimmers swim across the bay from the Pass to the Surf Club, canoe and ski paddlers take their return journey to the Cape and recreational swimmers dot every beach from South Golden to Broken Head.

stories and the direct evidence of torn wetsuits, skin lacerations and teeth gouged surfboards and surf skis, residents continue their daily commune with the ocean.

Why is it so?

It seems the mainstream media would like us all to ďŹ&#x201A;y into a community-wide panic with their stories about local surfers fighting off crazed man-eating killers.

Local identity and champion surfer Rusty Miller described them as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Killer Shark Rapes Baby on Main Beachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; type stories. Yet, we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t panic.

are more about needing to rest aching shoulders than about avoiding dangerous or unfavourable conditions.

Saxon openly admits that this year he is spooked. Saxon explained that the number of shark skirmishes combined with the quantity of close encounters with that really big ďŹ sh so far this year have him very much â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;looking over his shoulderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; as he makes his way across the bay. He even admits that he has changed his normal swimming pattern. Deep down, however, he knows that this strategy might make him feel a bit better but it provides no guarantee of avoiding a meeting with â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;the landlordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. In recognition of his trepida-

tion, will Saxon stop swimming in open water? Not at this stage.

Johnny is one of the most popular characters in the local surf scene. This gentlemanly former professional surfer can be spotted at almost any one of the Bayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s magical surďŹ ng spots on any day. What he rides on and where he rides depends on the conditions of the day. Johnny, too, admits that the shark sightings and incidents this year have him feeling somewhat wary. However, he is quick to point out that every time he takes to the water, this year or any other year, these large predators of the ocean are nearby. This year is no different in that sense. He knows we are visitors in their domain and he feels privileged to be able to share the wild country that they inhabit, if only for a few hours each day. Johnny, like Saxon, has no intention of stopping his ocean activities.

Supernatural Alan is one of this regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s premier water men. He is a champion surfer and an expert user of almost any kind of surďŹ ng device. He also has dozens of years experience in ocean-sports administration. Despite his practical and business talents, Alanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spin on dealing with the oceanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s creatures borders on the supernatural.

Alan believes that his own senses are the best way of determining whether he should or shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be surfing. He believes that if something is watching him and sizing him up for its next meal, he senses the presence of the predator. When he has a feeling that something is prowling nearby, he listens to his feelings and gets out of the water. Alan also believes that his anxiety, at such times, is likely to encourage and excite any hungry predator nearby... so much better to remove himself from the food chain until his feelings (and the possible threat) move on. While Alan loves the ocean and all that it offers he also believes that if a rogue predator chooses to move into town and continues to harass surfers, swimmers and

other human inhabitants it should be encouraged to move on. Alan is fanatical about his surfing and wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop for anything... man or beast.

Attacked Jodie, one of our Shireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outstanding former professional surfers, is renowned for her courage. Not just a surfer... Jodie is a big wave surfer... a tag not often bestowed on women in a sport that has, in the past, been dominated by men.

Jodie is quite unusual in the world of ocean athletes in that she has not only had a close encounter with a shark but she has been actually â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;attackedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; by one. Jodie was probably the first of our residents this year to receive injuries from a shark when a bronze whaler took a chunk out of her hand while paddling out at South Golden Beach. Jodie explains that the attack left her feeling violated.

Her shark experience has left Jodie philosophical about the likelihood of nature playing a part in her own demise.

She says nature can play some pretty astounding tricks when it decides your time has come.

Back to our shark expert from California who has such firm views on how everyone should react to the threat of shark attack. Byron Bay folk who visit the ocean every day are not dumb.

Every one of them has a different spin on what is going on in the waters off the Bay at present and very few are completely unconcerned.

Some may even choose to stay out of the water for a while. Most, on the other hand, will continue their daily commune with nature... but will do it with caution and will respectfully attempt to minimise their risks. Their passion for ocean sports and nature itself has greater power than their fear. Their intelligent attempts to understand nature and to embrace its diversity inspire me and remind me why it is that I, too, love the ocean. May they remain safe in all of their aquatic adventures.

Shedless men push on with projects Eve Jeffery The response to the local Menshed campaign has been immense. There have been several offers of tools, with one bloke from the Tweed donating two large pieces of heavy machinery. Another fellow who suffers from depression said he would really like to join the group because he simply wanted the company, and a place to go with something to do.

As part of the move to get things up and running, early next month the group will be travelling to Grafton, as boys down that way have a very successful shed and are more than willing to share their collective experience with other men’s groups.

Meanwhile the local lads have started their first project. With the plans, materials and a prototype given to the group by Byron Shire Council, the men are well under way in producing 30 humane cane toad traps which will eventually be loaned to the public, and will also be used in bushland around the shire to help eradicate this species.

There also future plans to make toys and other charitable items as a community service, but even though the spirit is more than willing, the venue is weak. The proj-

ect is an absolute goer except there is still the small problem of not having a shed.

Currently the group use surrogate work spaces, and garages belonging to some of the members, but they are not big enough to house the number of men who would like to participate, or the type of machinery the blokes would like to use.

The local U3A who are coordinating the Menshed for this area are hoping that there is someone out there with a space that can be used

for a few hours a week, and as this is a structured program the space would not be needed all the time.

If you think you can help out, the Menshed group

would love to hear from you.

For the donation of a shed or tools contact Ron Westrup on 6680 4365, or for more information about Menshed visit www.mensheds.com.au.

History man made patron Brunswick Valley Historical Society has named one of its past presidents as a patron of the society. Frank Mills, a noted local historian, accepted the invitation at a recent meeting of the society.

President Chris Gray said

Mr Mills had been a great ambassador for the work of the society and was well known in the district for his local history presentations.

Mr Mills said to be named as a patron was a great honour.

Diana Marshall, the new team leader of MISA (also known as Life Style Support Program), says, ‘People with a bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, major depression or schizo-affective disorder as well as drug or alcohol problems often have fallen between the cracks of tradi-

The Disabled Surfers Association in coordination with Byron Shire Council will be celebrating the International Day of Disability by holding a Disabled Surfing Have a Go Day at Clarkes Beach, Byron Bay, on Saturday December 1.

The DSA with other community organisations has been working with Council over a number of years to provide greater accessibility and services to the disabled community within the Shire.

‘We are now fortunate

enough to have at Clarkes Beach a beach wheelchair that is available to the public, a wheelchair friendly picnic area and a ramp that makes accessing the beach that much easier,’ says the DSA. ‘Discussions are also in place to broaden these facilities to other areas within the Shire.’

The DSA Hands on Day sign-on is at the Clarkes Beach carpark near the café commencing at 10am. ‘We would like to invite all participants, their families, car-

tional service delivery. We’re back on board to offer help to these so-called “difficult clients” with “complex needs”. Families and carers can often feel helpless when they see their loved ones suffering and we are offering support to them also.’

MISA groups have a solution-focused approach, with the main emphasis on supporting people to make lifestyle choices that improve their wellbeing.

‘We often reflect with sadness on the lives of many of the fantastic clients we work with, who’ve had a long and exhausting “career” with

drugs and alcohol, an extended battle with mental illness, and an equally long and often turbulent relationship with the health system,’ says Diana. ‘When we ran the programs previously we were touched by the openness of young people to talk about the “tuff stuff”, their willingness to learn, empower themselves and by their incredible strength to support each other.’

MISA is funded by the Australian Commonwealth Attorney-General’s Department. Find out more on 6687 1658 or misa@buttery. org.au.

‘Heal Me’ is Lior’s single release from his upcoming album. It’s not what you would expect. It’s neither a song about desire or delusion, the places that usually inspire songwriters. It’s about the experience of relationship, smack bang in the middle where it quietly and honestly maps the day to day struggles of maintaining a marriage.

I can hear his small son in the background. He’s lying on the floor laughing, obviously being distracted while Dad does his interview. It’s something I have done hundreds of times, and it’s refreshing to hear a bloke do it. These are the kinds of experiences and events that Lior tries to give voice in his latest album: ‘Corner of an Endless Road.

‘When I was approaching this album, I took a while writing and I wanted to be in a place where I felt OK. Initially you are careful, but then you have to commit: I am going to write about what’s going on in my life. It’s honesty.’

‘Heal Me’ is a deeply stirring melancholic arrangement, complete with a 24 piece orchestra. The strings create a delicate musical fabric that gently supports Lior’s quiet and unforced vocal. The song is like that emotional resolution you reach after another one of those relationship ‘talks’. Lior was amused by some of the reaction to his choice of release after the success of Autumn Flow and ‘This Old Love’.

‘Some people said, really, that’s your first single? There’s this expectation that you are going to come out with a big pop record after you’ve had success. But I couldn’t do that. I am feeling I want to go out with that song.’

Lior is close to completion on his long awaited second album.

THE TRUTH ABOUT LIOR ‘It’s about 2 weeks away from being finished, and I am very very happy with it. The songs are landmarks of an emotional journey over the last few years. Heal Me is about the whole irony of love that the person who is the source of pain can be the only source of healing!’

Lior agrees that the stereotype of what it is to be a musician – an alcoholic lone wolf with a penchant for promiscuity is a little outdated.

‘A lot of the people who had long successful careers have had a steady family life behind the scenes – you have to do what keeps you going, it’s often the stability that keeps you focused, it really keeps you productive.’

was that made it successful, all I need to do is to stay honest.’

Autumn Flow as a kind of monogamous maturity. I wonder if that attitude was informed by Lior’s rather unrock lifestyle.

‘When you are being criticised and judged as an artist, hard to not take the door out. Initially I was bad at it, most of the artists I know who read things that are slamming them admit that it really hurts. I am taking it much better and it’s good,

‘You know, I look back at the first album and I didn’t know what it

A CLOSE BRUSH WITH A TALENTED STALKER On Sunday morning I woke up to a situation. I wandered out of bed bleary eyed, made a coffee and staggered to the computer to check my emails. I love what arrives in the night, drunken rambles by oldest girlfriends, penis extension requests from porn spam and strange unexplained contacts from people you have never met. I open an email from Ashlee. I don’t know any Ashlee. There is no text, just a jpeg attachment that reads ‘Mandy’. I scroll down and the painting becomes visible. It’s a woman looking straight out at the viewer being held in an intimate embrace by another woman who is biting into her neck and fondling her breast. In my foggy state I think it’s a painting of someone titting off Kirstey Alley. Then a strange darkness descends on me. No, I think it’s me. Christ, someone has painted themselves with me as their full bodied muse. I look again. That’s definitely my head, although I am a little mortified by the double chin, and my nose is more hooked. Hmm, that does look a bit like my boob, and I do have quite fleshy arms. Shit that’s my hair. Burnt orange blonde. Unmistakeable. Fuck, who is the chick nuzzling my neck. It’s 6.30am and I can’t stop looking at the painting.

I can almost feel her breath fuzzing those soft downy hairs on my nape. It’s kind of erotic. It’s kind of creepy. It’s a

is she outside?

Have I been standing naked at the window or being caressed in intimate situations in my black silk negligee long enough for someone to snap a polaroid or two? I wake my husband.

He’s hard to impress at the best of times.

He looks, grunts and mumbles: ‘Take it to the cops.’ The cops?

I don’t know if I could front up at the Police Station with a jpeg painting of me and a mystery woman. What would my complaint actually be? That they got my chin wrong? I don’t think using someone as artistic inspiration is against the law.

It’s weird, but it’s legal. I flick the image to as many friends as I can think of, I’m curious to know their reaction. I want to know if they would find it as unsettling as I do. Everyone emails back. Some are subject headed ‘Fuuuucck’. By midday, there’s not a person in my address book

super realist portrait. You don’t paint something like that in under 100 hours.

Fuck me, I have a lesbian stalker. I have to admit I’m impressed. It’s a class act.

It certainly beats jerking off outside my bedroom window. I magnify my admirer to see if I recognise her. Nope.

Looks a little bit like KD Lang. Wouldn’t that be amazing, if KD Lang had the hots for me. I’m flattered that she’s bothered to google me and develop an obsession. What if it’s not KD. What if it’s this Ashlee who sent the email. Shit

who doesn’t know about my lesbian stalker. Mum likes the portrait so much she wonders if she can get a print. I haven’t replied to the email. What do you say? Hi, thanks for watching me, what tree are you in? I don’t want to upset her. Another friend emails back ‘are you sure it’s a woman. It looks like a freaky boyish man’. Great. Now I have a male stalker. A fine boned lover who clings to the whopping German Aphrodite. By Monday I can’t get rid of this feeling of being unnerved. I have to reply to the email. I finally come up with something inoffensive and casual ‘thanks for your lovely portrait, I’m very flattered. Just wondered why you had chosen me for subject matter?’

I get a return email in minutes. I am nervous when I click on the icon to open it. Stalker talk has started. I must be careful. Keep her/him engaged, but don’t encourage. ‘You idiot, that’s a picture of my friend’s sister. I only sent it to you because it looked like you.’

Apparently I had met Ashlee in the video shop and she had told me she was going to send me this painting. I don’t have a lesbian stalker. I am instantly relieved, and then, I don’t know, disappointed. For just one day, I was the subject of someone’s illicit, artistic and passionate obsession. It was kind of nice. For one day, I was loved by my lesbian stalker.

FROCK 7

NEW FESTIVAL FOR BYRON BAY I don’t think I could possibly count how many festivals we have here now. I put my undies the other day and thought damn if there isn’t a festival in it. I suppose what it shows is that this is a town where people like to play. We are renowned for our love of entertainment, and I think in my 17 years of living here I have seen more live music than any of my Sydney or Melbourne friends. Sunday February 17, 2008 sees Red Devil Park, the long time home of Bluesfest welcome Raggamuffin, a reggae inspired festival of one big dub. Featuring headliners like UB40, The Wailers,

Maxi Priest and Arrested Development this is a brand new innovative reggae event. Headlining the very first Raggamuffin will be UB40, arguably the world’s most popular reggae band.

Their combined single and album sales are in excess of $70 million, which puts them in that elite category populated by the likes of The Police & Robbie Williams.

They’ve had a staggering 51 hit singles, which is more than ANY other British outfit apart from Status Quo (and, yes, that includes The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, U2 and everyone else); and they’ve had Number 1 smash hits in virtually every chart on the planet. Doors open from 4pm, music from 5pm. General admission

KU PRESENTS SARUZU Flamenco has the incredible ability of driving your energy up through your legs and into your heart. This controlled and vigorous stamping is some of the most sensual performance you will ever see, it’s hard not to be moved by the brooding power of a resounding thump. Paul Bodington of Brisbane’s ABC agrees.

‘The Saruzu Quartet are intuitive, innovative and they generate a musical energy that leaps from the speakers, gently massaging your mind one moment and seconds later lifting you away to dizzy

THE TRUTH ABOUT LIOR continued from page 21 if everyone likes what you are doing, it’s not a good thing. Creating music and art should be about being confronting.’

Back to the new album.

‘It really does represent the last two years of my life, and I guess because Autumn Flow took off, I am in the public, and experiences are heightened and intense, it’s like seven years rolled into two, it puts artificial strains on relationships, you are having all this buzz around you but you are having dark moments as well.’

Lior was a featured artist at this year’s Fatherhood Festival (see story later in Seven about the DVD release) having kids is now a big part of his musical trajectory.

‘My little girl (four and a half) came to see me for the first time, at the Spiegletent, I wondered what she’d think.

The whole place went quiet and she went ‘Hi Daddy’.’

Lior is very much a fan of the McCartney school of songwriting, admiring the elegance of a simple well crafted song over something more fussy or complicated.

‘When it comes to writing, I usually have a bunch of melodies kicking around and then I spend time refining them and then try and get into the zone of not thinking too much, to get the balance between words and music.

Thats what I love about lyric writing, is that every word is so weighted in place – there is no rule to lyric writing, but

I suppose I am trying to write timeless songs that have a purity of melody and the timelessness – and getting the timelessness is so much harder than coming up with a complex idea!’

In recording the new album Lior didn’t let how it would be interpreted as a live show affect his production decisions.

‘I didn’t consider the live show at all, because it would affect my decision, and I wanted to see what we could come up with, a song can work in more than one way, it’s the test of a good song, the strength of the song will carry it through, you don’t need a huge orchestra.’

Lior plays the Hotel Great Northern on Sunday 9 December.

heights of excitement…’

Audiences will be gripped by this fiery flamenco-tangojazz ensemble. The Saruzu Quartet’s interpretation of the rich harmonies of Argentine tango, the wild improvisations of gypsy jazz and the fire and grace of flamenco, is exhilarating. Their music is evocative of a 1920’s Paris cafe scene filtered through an edgy and contemporary sensibility.

Saruzu is a celebration of the musical passions of its members – renowned violinist Luke Moller, sensual flamenco dancer and fiery percussionist Simone Pope, ferociously cool jazz bass player Andrew Shaw and laid back guitar virtuoso Andrew Veivers. For this special show Saruzu are joined by Kacey Patrick of Stringmansassy. Time Off Magazine raved: ‘ Patrick possesses a voice of unparalleled clarity, so smooth and precise it’s like listening to a melting ice sculpture.’ Blistering, passionate and intense.

JEZ & CLEIS & LUCIE The astonishing Cleis Pearce and Jez Mead are reunited at the Drill Hall in Mullumbimby on Friday when they share the bill with Lucie Thorne. The beloved Jez no longer lives locally, but has been off gallivanting around the country with the new ensemble he’s knocked up called the Orange Bird supporting Angus and Julia Stone. Jez is keen to get back to basics. ‘ I’m back to do an intimate and cozy hall gig to try out some new songs in preparation for recording a new album.

The new songs are a bit more lively than the past album and I’m feeling very inspired after going round this big old country again.

I’ve got Cleis Pearce joining me and the results are quite country blues at the same time sounding like a cross between Neil Diamond and Ed Keupper. Cleis will be pulling stars from the the sky as usual. Jez is

joined by gracious support Lucie Thorne who has had a very busy year with several national tours and a beautiful new record ‘Where Night Birds Call’ released through Vitamin in March this year. She’s a remarkable songstress who is really hitting her stride. Tasmanian born Lucie made the album in an old wooden cottage in her new home of Bimbaya on the edge of the beautiful Bega Valley. Moving through Lucie’s sparse and distinctive folk songs, to ‘strikingly pared back rock’ (The Age), ‘Where Night Birds Call’ explores a dark, compelling intimacy and a rich emotional range that prove Thorne’s standing as one of the most lyrically exciting of Australia’s new crop of folk-inspired writers.

UTOPIANS IN YOUR FALLOPIAN According to a very informative chap from the Utopians who emailed me about their gig at the Chincogan Tavern on Saturday, Chincogan actually means dick and balls

in Japanese. Mount Cock or Mount Male genitalia seems rather a mouthful, but we do agree that it is one of the rudest little mountains in the country. I now understand why my Japanese exchange student gasped when I told him we lived under the shadow of Mt Chincogan.

of Root Development as a Charitable Trust in 2002 and now we are launching it here and Byron Bay and asking the local community to support. Local women musicians have shown their compassion and support by presenting a fantastic fundraising evening’ said Graeme Batterbury and Wendy Royson. Sandeep and Graeme established the Academy as a Charitable Trust in 2002. This extra income has helped the family in difficult times when there is no work, and is making it possible for the children to go to school and for families to save for their daughters’ dowries. The experience is also giving the women confidence and skills as they have been learning group management, conflict resolution as well as basic accounting and record keeping. Groups also support individual women if there is a problem in the home, for example with a husband being violent. ‘If 100 people commit to giving $5 a week the program can be sustained. It would be wonderful to know that we can do that. Let’s make a big start on December 5th,’ says Wendy. For more info ring Leigh Carriage on 6685 7215.

I WILL SURVIVE

GOODBYE ENGINE 37

In 1980 after Bob Marley and the Wailers visited Australia on their ‘Survival’ world tour, two members of the Melbourne reggae community, Andre and Naromon, went to Jamaica to have an audience with the ‘King of Reggae’. Part of that conversation was a plea to Bob about ‘what can we do to promote reggae in Australia?’ Bob’s response was clear and direct. ‘Start a reggae club and call it the Survival Reggae Club.’ So throughout the eighties and early nineties Melbourne hosted a thriving reggae club with weekly gigs, monthly club magazines and a warm friendly environment. When members of that original club found themselves landed on the north coast, the idea of starting a similar club developed and the Byron Bay and Nimbin Reggae Clubs emerged, and have been thriving for almost a decade. The two clubs are now joining into one universal movement, more in the spirit and goals of the original Survival Reggae Club. Survival is intended as a wake-up call for everyone to resist and fight oppression. Bob Marley had rarely been so pointed and persistent in his content. The days of the musical parable are more or less replaced by direct and confrontational lyrics. The message of this album is clearly a call to arms for those wanting to abolish the subjugation and tyranny of not only Africans, but all humankind. At the Byron Bay Community Centre this Wednesday

Engine 37 are getting ready to move down to Melbourne to have a crack at the Southern music scene.

They have just finished shooting their first film clip and have scored 12 gigs at the Tamworth Music Festival with the Remains and would you believe Shannon Noll!!!

The blokes are screening their new clip at their farewell gig at the Hotel Great Northern on Friday.

HEY GRASSHOPPER Local reggae band Grasshopper are ready to make you jump and shout all night long with their infectious original compositions. Under the confident direction of the ageless beauty of their lead singer Jima King, backed by Danni Salsa, Juan Salvadour, Jake Mann and the rest of the band, Grasshopper will deliver a mighty evening of thumping dancing music.

So come along to the Rails on Thursday to enjoy the band that at this year’s Nimbin Mardi Grass blissed more minds than a pound of Mullumbimby Madness!

Come help the Brunswick Board Riders celebrate the first day of Summer.

Saturday sees the summer fun day hit Terrace Park in Brunswick Heads. Truancy, Chris Edwards, Jack’s Union, Suzie Leigh and heaps more.

DANCE FLAMENCO FEVER

JESSE ROSE, A FREAKREATOR

Welcome in the Festive Season with a celebration of passion, beauty, and community spirit! Once a year the Serena Joy School of Flamenco bears its fruit and shares it with the community. This show is a feast for the senses and opens with an exhibition of Flamenco artwork with delectable food and drinks. The A&I Hall will be echoing the sound of rhythmic feet, strumming guitars, and songs and shouts of emotion from the soul. ‘Each year I aim to bring a new element to our show,’ says Serena. ‘The students have all grown and developed their skills and I want to complement their growth by having solo guest artists who will then further inspire them. This year we have Tomas Dietz, a dancer from Canberra, who captures the expression and essence of Flamenco.’ It is a titillating taste of what will follow with Solveig’s solo exhibition opening at the Wayward Gallery, Byron later in December. There is also a raffle being held on the night with the first prize being a piece of her work! If you are looking for a good night out, turn off the television and be entertained and moved by something very real, and with very very wonderful legs. Saturday at the A&I Hall Bangalow, 6pm. Exhibition opens, 7:30pm. Show starts 8pm. $12/10 Kids $5. Tickets available from Barebones Art Space.

Having done my ‘homework’ listening to Jesse’s sound which hurls kooky reversed vocals in with catchy beats and percussion arrangements, I perceive Jesse’s music as qualifying for being categorized as Electro but he interjects, ‘I wouldn’t call what I do Electro but I do love a fat b-line and tracks that make peeps freak out, so there is a similarity I suppose.’ Nevertheless and after listening to his music on Jesse’s myspace I can promise Electro and House lovers alike that they will get their rocks off with Jesse’s chunky, skipping and glitching sounds and beats. While Jesse’s remix of ‘Playmate’

by Armand Van Helden might illustrate how Jesse has become the current flavour, he has also had plenty of releases on labels such as Compost, International Dee Jay Gigolos and PIAS Recordings.

ART A CREATIVE EXCHANGE Shane Harle is a Canadian artist who has been residing in Lennox Head with his wife and two boys teaching art at Byron High. It’s been a great time for Shane who has been inspired by our beautiful landscape, taking time out to create 20 acrylic paintings on canvas for sale.

I will be the MC and will be showing a few of my special turns on the catwalk, so come and check it out. I believe there is still a calling for middleaged women who dress age inappropriately.

This is a sit down event with food catered by Butlers and complimentary champagne for just $40. Tickets are available on 6685 6807.

Jitterbug Along with the Charleston, the Roaring Twenties gave rise to the Jitterbug, a swing dance which got its name from the slang for an alcoholic suffering the ‘jitters’, or delirium tremens. Musician Cab Calloway popularised the term in the 1930s through his recordings and the film Cab Calloway’s Jitterbug Party. Swing dances predated swing music, however, and had their beginnings in African American folk dance.

Television Guide 1. Will Smith tracks down the delinquent droid in I, Robot (Prime, Wednesday, 8.30pm), interesting SF marred by a silly derring-do ending.

2. Matt Frewer makes a decent fist of Sherlock Holmes in The Sign of Four (NBN, Thursday, midday). A Canadian in the deerstalker! Whatever next? Quick, Watson, the five per cent solution.

3. Bill Murray is, well, Bill Murray in the highly original comedy The Life Aquatic (Prime, Friday, 10.30pm). The station misses the opportunity to schedule the film where people might see it, preferring to run an undistinguished and much older potboiler in the prime evening spot.

CANâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;T CHANGE BEARABLEâ&#x20AC;Ś

ARIES: If your efforts get a luke warm response this week donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go The Red Sulk. Lighten up. Be smart. Figure out how to make the situation work for you. And if you have to make waves, make those waves of change as

positive as you can for everyone involved.

TAURUS: If expressing your truth upsets others, that only boomerangs back to upset you, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth considering how youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d want the same thing said to you â&#x20AC;&#x201C; ideally from the saddhuâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s viewpoint that other people are none other than yourself with a different name and form.

GEMINI: If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re aiming to upgrade present conditions, you observers of group dynamics will have noted that right now people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be locked into anything. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to provide believable exit clauses and attractive prospects backed by solid facts. A demanding weekâ&#x20AC;Ś CANCER: This ďŹ ery week applies high pressure and needs careful negotiating â&#x20AC;&#x201C; you may have to concede less important issues so you can stand ďŹ rm on what you care most about. The good news is that calm determination, your best friend at present, will help you through.

LEO: Leos usually distrust all authority but their own â&#x20AC;&#x201C; others may feel the same this week and (shock horror) ignore yours. With the Sun in a fellow ďŹ re sign,

youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hot â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but whether stirring the pot, closing a deal or on the war path, aim for being sensitive as well as effective.

VIRGO: People will talk big this week, but all information needs checking â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be wise to rely on follow through either. If others seem tremendously inconsistent, pointing this out will only be wasted breath â&#x20AC;&#x201C; let them do their own thing and you do yours.

LIBRA: Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re presently in a major creative phase with Venus busy behind the scenes furthering your personal and professional progress â&#x20AC;&#x201C; though favouring friends in business wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily be your smartest move. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let social insensitivities spoil this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s astronomical fun factorâ&#x20AC;Ś SCORPIO: If this week lights your romantic ďŹ res but puts others more in the mood for independence than togetherness, then enjoy your friends â&#x20AC;&#x201C; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re better value right now. Handle over-the-top emotions via the tried and true K.I.S.S. system: Keep It Simple, Sweetheart. Real simple.

SAGITTARIUS: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;My mother groaned, my father wept,

Into the dangerous world I leaptâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, wrote this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birthday Sagittarian William Blake. Exuberance is beauty he also wrote, and both quotes poetically describe your present energy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; may it bring you the success you deserve.

CAPRICORN: Capricorns tend to be thorough, hard working and reliable. If others arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t inclined to value those qualities with ďŹ nancial recognition right now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s their loss, because this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s circumstances are changing far too fast for you to lose any sleep over it.

AQUARIUS: This weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s people are walking paradoxes (rather like Aquarians). Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to tell whether theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re serious, joking, just plain nuts or stirring you up for the fun of it. Being an Aquarian youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll fortunately be able to see the funny side of this sooner rather than laterâ&#x20AC;Ś PISCES: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Wooing, so tiringâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; wrote this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birthday wit Nancy Mitford â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and if the up close and personal departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in disarray, just leave it be. Do nurturing, nourishing things and be very non confrontational until Mars and Venus are on better terms.

Despite being World Champion between 2000 and 2007, Vladimir Kramnik (below) has only once topped the world rankings, a decade ago.

A series of fine results in 1996 earned Kramnik equal top spot on the rankings alongside Garry Kasparov, with Kramnik becoming the official number one due to Kasparovâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relative inactivity.

On January 1, history will repeat itself.

After an outstanding win at the Tal Memorial tourna-

Ph 02 6687 2088

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

ment in Moscow this week, Kramnik has earned enough rating points to tie with the man to whom Kramnik claims he â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;lentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; the world title in September, Viswanathan Anand. Since Anand has barely played since his world title triumph in Mexico and is not scheduled to do so until the great Wijk aan Zee tournament in January, Kramnik will again be awarded the number one ranking on the activity tiebreak.

Kramnikâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s win in the powerful field in Moscow was utterly comprehensive; undefeated, with a point and a half margin over second placed Alexey Shirov, whom Kramnik defeated in their individual encounter. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect this at all,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said Kramnik, 32, after the tournament. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;After the Mexico World Championship tourna-

ment] you will be tired and it is difficult to get back motivation. But suddenly everything started to go well. With this result I will be number one on the next FIDE rating list and of course this was [also] a surprise for me.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Losing â&#x20AC;&#x201C; sorry, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;lendingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the world title seems to have freed Kramnik up to start playing more ambitious and risky chess, as the following game shows. As World Champion Kramnik often appeared too scared of losing to take the chances needed to win against high level opposition, but that fear appears to have faded.

Or perhaps Kramnik was just paying a secret compliment to the man after whom the Tal Memorial was named: Mikhail Tal, the Latvian genius and World Champion who turned risk-taking chess into an art form.

MAKE YOUR MORTGAGE WORK FOR YOU!

When mathematician Gavin Whyte developed a formula to save thousands of dollars of interest on his home loan, he was understandably chuffed that he’d helped his family save so much money. Gavin used the formula for his own mortgage and then started a new career as a real estate agent. In that role Gavin met a young single mum who was at risk of losing her home, and unable to just stand by and watch her lose everything, he implemented his mortgage system for her as well. It allowed her to keep her home, and it suddenly dawned on him that here was a system everyone should have access to.

Mark Burton is the local consultant for EquityExcel and he’ll gladly organise a no obligation free consultation in your own home. He’ll also prepare a free report so you can see the amount of interest you’ll save before committing.

‘You’ll see first hand how you can achieve your dream faster,’ said Mark. ‘We’re happy to do this because the results speak for themselves.’

To arrange a free consultation phone Mark today on 1300 880 637 or 0416 066 880.

(c INeMa) GAME PLAN One of Byron’s friendly (and forgiving) staff called to me as the lights dimmed that I was in the wrong cinema.

I hurried from number 2 to number 3 and as soon as the opening credits had stopped rolling I felt like the passenger who rushed to get the last seat on Buddy Holly’s Cessna. The film was going to be a crashing bore, I just knew it. And I was right until at least halfway through. Then something happened and I am still not sure what it was, but I ended up thoroughly enjoying myself and being won over by the story. Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson’s previous life as a pro wrestler obviously taught him enough about acting to do a reasonable job here as Joe Kingman, the (fictitious) Boston Rebels’

legendary quarter back.

Despite all of the glory and kudos that he has been showered with, Joe, who looks like a pumped-up Stan Grant but with even more pearly whites, is in the autumn of his career and has never won the coveted championship - so you wonder, will he get it in the last reel? Eight-year old Peyton, the unexpected daughter from his failed marriage, turns up on his doorstep - so you wonder, will she inspire him to his crowning glory? He meets Monique Vasquez, Peyton’s beautiful Latino ballet teacher - so you wonder, will the pair get together?

Pop songs bloom from the outset, setting the upbeat tone - again you wonder, will Smokey Robinson’s My Girl get a run? Only undiscovered

GAME PLAN

tribes in Borneo might not expect the answer to be yes on all counts, but even their oral traditions probably have identical set-ups and pay outs. Daggy as it is in the yarts, familiarity has its appeal. The cute little girl is of the Disney genus that makes infanticide seem not so objectionable, but Joe’s foolish hubris, his cheerily stubborn self conviction and growing realisation that, he too, has feet of clay, are the working ingredients in the mix. The support gang of four team mates - growly, dumb, wise and flash - are agreeable and Roslyn Sanchez as Monique is lovely. By kick-off in the big game I was dutifully rootin’ for the Rebels. Take your kids. Its message is loving without being condescending. ~ John Campbell

THE HEARTBREAK KID There are some illustrious names behind this. Neil Simon, from whose play it is adapted, might be less than impressed with how his reputation for wit, subtlety and depth is tarnished, but the Farrelly brothers, as directors and co-writers, perhaps believe that, through their laboured attempts at being un-PC, they have brought his work into the 21st century. With any luck, they will have discovered that it’s a rare thing to repeat the winning formula of a one-off, in this case the much loved There’s Something About Mary (1998), and will be encouraged to try something new next time. Ben Stiller is Eddie Cantrow. He lives in San Francisco (the opening aerial shot is of the Golden Gate Bridge, so you can FULLY AIR-CONDITIONED EVERY WEDNESDAY ALL SEATS ALL SESSIONS $8 ONLY

immediately delete originality from your list of expectations), where he owns a sporting goods store. His father, played by his dad in real life, Jerry (who should have given it away when his TV role as Frank Costanza became redundant), nags him into marrying pretty Lila. She turns out to be all wrong for Eddie, with, as the young bride, actress Malin Akerman given some unusually humiliating scenes to negotiate. On their honeymoon at a Mexican resort, Cantrow falls for Miranda and standard double entendres and misunderstandings allow her to be won over by him without earning our ire. There is potential for farce but the easier option of smut is preferred. It is interesting to note the level of coarseness which is now de rigueur in contemporary romantic comedy. We have swearing (‘fuck me’ is the closing line), pervy nudity (hers, not his, naturally), dope smoking, an erect donkey about to mount a woman, a close up of Lila’s pubic hair and then the sight of her pissing. Is the target audience really so crass? Does it make it funnier, as it did when we were teenagers yukking it up in the school dunny over similarly puerile attractions?

This movie is not in the same street as Mary, owing primarily to the fact that Stiller’s feckless, self-pitying and deceitful Eddie is not appealing in any way, and made less so because we are meant to see him as a nice guy. It left me stone

THE HEARTBREAK KID

cold, but the young lady nearby with her smelly feet all over the seat in front of her thought it was uproarious. ~ John Campbell

MICHAEL CLAYTON Michael Clayton is the kind of Hollywood movie we could use a lot more of. An engrossing intellectual thriller with a shrewd grasp of crowd-pleasing storytelling, its layered narrative uses a morally ambiguous lead character to explore a system where ethicallychallenged behaviour leads to major financial rewards and it’s easier to go with the flow than to take a stand for what’s right. Plus, the acting is first rate. George Clooney drops the cocky, selfassured persona of Danny Ocean to present a troubled, conflicted façade. When it comes to motion pictures, there are essentially two kinds of thrillers: visceral

thrillers, which rely on action to generate tension and excitement, and intellectual thrillers, which burn more slowly but are often more satisfying in the end. Michael Clayton, the directorial debut of screenwriter Tony Gilroy,

MICHAEL CLAYTON

belongs in the latter category. The movie unfolds at its own pace and makes few concessions to impatient viewers or those who don’t pay attention.

The film builds to a fitting conclusion and doesn’t need surprise twists or cheap theatrics to get to that point. ~ Lounge Cinema

cost, availability and affordability of a standardised healthy food basket in ďŹ ve areas of metropolitan Adelaide, and found that the cost of healthy eating relative to income was very expensive for Adelaide families on lower incomes. The ďŹ ndings support the comprehensive obesity strategy of the DAA which calls for more of a focus on helping lower income families most at risk of nutrition-related problems to have healthier eating habits.

A yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth of ďŹ ne dining and wining has a way of getting you in the end. Brooding darkly over the fact that it has been months since I have worn my Skinny Clothes (like many women I have a wideranging wardrobe), I soon discover that I am a merely minor part of the seasonal trend. In town I keep crossing paths with friends who are on some program or another: Amy* is on Day Eight of her annual juice fast, clothes are ďŹ tting again and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never felt better; Josie*, like half of Byron Bay, is on the Chemist Shop Diet; Leonieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s* having another go at Jenny Craig. I lie awake at three oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;clock in the morning contemplating the impossibility of losing weight at this wretched time of year, a time when invitations keep arriving for drinks, Sunday lunches, parties, restaurants and General Fun all in the name of Christmas.

Never having been good at Moderation I wildly consider Total Abstinence, except the visions of myself drinking soda water and waving away the passing trays of canapes all night lack conviction, let alone any appeal whatsoever. With an emotion akin to relief I realise that there are only about six weeks through which to somehow grimly soldier before a perfectly clear unrufďŹ&#x201A;ed space presents itself: I cheer up instantly, and nobly continue abandoning myself.

Besides, the various programs my friends are on seem dubious, even spurious. A Juice Fast beyond several days strikes me as outright dangerous; doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the body require protein every day, for a start? The Chemist Shop Diet arouses my curiosity brieďŹ&#x201A;y, if only because of its popular appeal - the trouble is, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just substituting real food with shakes, soups and bars, too reminiscent of the decades-ago horrors of products like Metrocal and Limmits. I actually buy one of the bars, conďŹ dently named â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Successâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and ďŹ nd it utterly delicious, chewy and caramelly and quite ďŹ lling, except the notion of eating one of those in place of a meal like a lovely big green leafy salad with things like asparagus and sweet tomatoes and crunchy cucumber alongside some plainly grilled ďŹ sh, a similar number of calories, seems totally mad. As for protein shakes! Very good friends of mine in their late ďŹ fties who ballroom dance and swim and are in amazing shape have been dining on protein shakes for years: they pour the stuff into big goblets and toast each other solemnly. And all I can think is that these are people for whom food is the enemy, or certainly a source of indifference; it will never work for me.

Despite being on the Chemist Shop Diet, and apparently enjoying it, and noticing the kilos drop away, Josie* invites me to dinner, and bowls me over with a gorgeous three-course meal. To be sure, the ďŹ rst two courses are wholesome and relatively low in calories: we begin with a smoked trout, avocado and rocket salad, then move on to mussels which she has simmered lengthily in a spicy tomato sauce. All well and good except for the loaf of fresh bread on the cutting-board and the serrated knife alongside. That heavenly tomato sauce insists that fat chunks of bread be dunked into it, and so we dunk. And dunk. Dessert is a little creme caramel which really is unnecessary; sheer politeness impels me to eat it, and besides, it is Josie* (also eating one) on the program, not I. The great thing is, it will all be over soon... * Names have been changed to protect the overweight

Sports Roundup with Eve Jeffery

Rugby Giant Joe is a Big Bloke When I was a kid I lived in the Land Down Under, the land under New South Wales: Victoria.

In those days football, real foodey, was played in the Victorian Football Le ague, an exclusive club because Victorians were the only ones with enough class to understand what real football was. Taking the bait? Good.

We could also laugh along with our northern neighbour’s jokes about our game of ‘aerial ping pong’.

When the VFL became the AFL in 1990, we let the rest of the country in on our secret, and reminded everyone that the A in AFL stood for Australian – a game from here, Australia, the big Land Down Under, and the F stood for football, which is a slang term for foodey.

AFL. Australia’s game.

Not this bloody rugby rubbish. Chewing that hook?

Tasty? Mwahahaaaa Now that I live here, well up into enemy territory, I figure if I am to get on with the locals, I should investigate rugby. Nightmare.

Apparently you have two sorts. Rugby union and rugby league, but you don’t have to call rugby union, rugby union, but you do have to call rugby league, rugby league.

Easy? Not. Around town it’s just called rugby, that is rugby league is just called rugby and you are supposed to know that. People in the street say rugby, and you should know they mean rugby league, but goddess help you if you say rugby to a rugby union fan when what you are talking about is

PLAYER PROFILE Name: Joe Robinson Age: 25 Birth Sign: Pic ses Weight: 101 kilos Height: 6’2” (big bloke) Favourite colour: blue Drinks: water Eat: All food Last read: last week’s player profile Last saw: Oceans 13 Claim to fame: Best and Fairest player in the NRRRL premiership team rugby league, and they look at you like you have the pox and snarl ‘leeeegah!’

Union and league, always at war, and never ever the twain shall meet. Unless you are talking World Cup, then you all seem to be lovey dovey brothers in arms.

Sheesh. You lot are mental!

Can someone please hold my stubbie of XXXX while I reel in this line?

A man who does know all about rugby, (see I am showing off now because I mean rugby league), is Joe Robinson.

They breed ‘em big in the islands and Joe is a big bloke.

He weighs one hundred and one kilos and is 6 foot 2 tall.

A really biiiig bloke. I don’t care what 6-2 is in centimetres. Metric height is just not as effective. He’s just 6 foot bloody 2.

Born in New Zealand, he moved to the Cook Islands when he was 8 and had his first taste of rugby league on

a visit to Australia at the age of 9. At sixteen he moved to the US which put a damper on his rugby career. ‘I went to the states for four years and they don’t even know what the hell rugby league is up there. I played grid iron, a game where you are so fully padded you don’t feel a thing.’

Going back to the Cook Islands after being in the US was a shock. ‘I just got hammered by the other players.

It was like running into tanks. They are all really big, heavy, solid, strong people.’

But Joe re-learned the tough game and soon found himself touring Australia, New Zealand and Fiji with the Cook Islands International squad, in the front row, a position whose role is to take to ball forward towards the try line. ‘We are referred to as the ‘pigs’, says Joe, ‘the forwards who do all the hard yards, are the pigs, and the boys in the back line

score the tries.’

Joe played in the Cook Islands Rugby League for four years, the last two years overlapping with the finals games at Mullum, (the Cook Islands season is shorter), before becoming a full time Giant.

It took time to settle in to Giants life and Joe felt that his team mates, a closeknit family, took a little while to warm to him. But when they did, they embraced him wholeheartedly. ‘Once I was in there and we all got to know each other I felt really welcome. They really looked after me and seemed happy to have me, though my game felt a bit rusty. It took me a season to hit my stride, but I made sure I had my game right before I stepped onto the field that second year.’

As a straight A student with his HSC in his pocket, Joe did a junior varsity year in the US studying biology before returning to the Cook

Islands and work as a digital film editor assisting the crew on Survivor: The Cook Islands, One Network News for TV New Zealand, and various other productions.

He is currently studying for his Certificate III in personal training. ‘I have always been into a healthy lifestyle.

I rarely drink and I don’t smoke or take drugs. I am the same sober as I am drunk, so drinking serves no purpose for me. I just save the money and have a good time anyway.’ Except for the grand final night.

‘I promised the boys that if we won the grand final I would have a night out on the piss with them. I thought we’d never win. At the beginning of 2007 you wouldn’t have bet a dollar on us winning. We had no coach, we had no players, we had no funds, we had nothing! Honestly, this year was the fairytale year.’

And of course the team

did win. Drawing from their own ‘family’, ex player Damon Scott stepped in to fill the void and the rest, as they say, is history. Scott got NRRRL coach of the year, the club won the Premiership and title of Club Champions, as all three Mullum teams collectively played better than any other team in the comp. And Joe? He won the club award for Best and Fairest, something he is coy about admitting, but an achievement he is proud of.

Currently employed by the council doing general maintenance, Joe has a happy relationship with girlfriend Elisha whom he refers to as a ‘Palmerston Princess’, and will continue to play for the Giants as long as he lives in the area, but he sees rugby as a shortlived career.

He would love to play professionally but doesn’t know if that opportunity will arise. At 25 he feels he is getting up there in years.

‘You don’t get many who play past 35, that’s why I eventually hope to work as a personal trainer. There is no longevity in rugby league.

But as long as I am playing the game I am stoked.’

I am also stoked, as it seems my old mates the Victorians have learned a few things about foodey in the last few years. As in rugby league. That is ‘leegah’ with a capital M . E . L . B . O. U. R . N . E .

Sports Roundup with Eve Jeffery School Surf League Competes In Byron

Around 150 students from twelve schools between Nambucca and Tweed Heads converged on the Byron Bay Surf Life Saving Club last Friday, to compete in the annual School Surf League.

Conducted by North Coast School Sports Association and Surf Life Saving Far North Coast, the annual School Surf League program gives all high school students the opportunity to participate in surf sports events, exposing them to a wide range of disciplines and is aimed at encouraging more teenagers to join the surf lifesaving movement.

With a primary emphasis on participation and fun, the carnival not only provides a unique sporting event for many students who would not previously have participated in surf sports, but also aids development of the participants’ personal, social

and technical skills.

‘The School Surf League has been steadily growing each year since we first started participating in 2004,’ said event organizer Alan Duroux. ‘It is a great event on the schools sporting calendar and is one that the students have come to look forward to just like swimming, cross country and athletics.’

With a 6am start the carnival promised a very full program which included both individual and team events in surf swim, board racing, a beach sprint and relay, an ironperson event, beach flag races, and a board riding-beach flag, tag team relay. These games covered many of the skills needed in surf life saving.

Kingscliff, scoring 259 points, ran away with the title of Champion School, with Southern Cross (122) and Woolgoolga (54) trailing

Club November A huge thankyou to all our Results local businesses who supThe All Girls Surfriders Club held their November Club Round at Lennox Head beaches. This was a prize round as well as the final round for 2007. A light easterly wind and 1m choppy waves, with a heavy shore break, made conditions difficult. Congratulations to all girls who surfed, and especially to the following finalists: Advanced 1st Jade Fenech, 2nd Lana Parkes, 3rd Lyla Wright, 4th Rachel Bonhote Mead: 30+ 1st Maz Pentecost, 2nd Kate Poulos, 3rd Melissa Wright, 4th Tamsin Franklin: Junior Beginners 1st Tiana Whyatt, 2nd Madeline Tresselt, 3rd Leesha Preiser, 4th Georgia McFee: Intermediate 1st Cassie Jo Neville, 2nd Ella McCrossin, 3rd Taylor Butler, 4th Isabella Springis: Longboard 1st Mel Mott, 2nd Kara Nobbs,

ported the club with vouchers and prizes throughout the year. The end of year presentation will be held on Saturday 1st December at the Lennox SLSC starting at 6pm.

Bodyboarding The Headlanders hosted a Teams Challenge with the Gold Coast Bodyboard Club at Byron Bay’s Cosy Corner –Tallows beach on Saturday. Each team was made up of 12 riders who each surfed 3 times over 18 rounds, hopefully beating the opposition with better average wave scores and accumulating maximum points for their team.

After 8 rounds, a gap of only 2 points separated the teams but as the day progressed, the eventual winner clearly was the Headlanders with 334.8 points to Gold Coast’s 289.5.

Keep Watch on kids in the water

Parent s in the Byron Shire are urged to learn life saving skills as Royal Life Saving gets the 2007 Keep Watch campaign underway to help prevent toddler drowning.

Royal Life Saving CEO Rob Bradley, warns a child under 5 has drowned on average every week over the past 10 years and says drowning is a hidden epidemic.

Latest figures show 35 toddlers drowned in the last financial year in preventable tragedies – 46% of them drowned in swimming pools and 17% in bathtubs.

Mr Bradley warns that it them in second and third is critical that parents learn position. how to resuscitate a child, Byron Bay and Mul- and he also wants to highlumbimby high schools came equal seventh with a score of 43 points each.

Local school competitiors had more luck in the girls age divisions, with the 15 year age group title going to Bridgett Barnes from Byron Bay and the 16 years title shared by Jade NelsonChapman from Byron Bay and Jeda Greenlaw from Mullumbimby.

In a country where much of our recreation takes place on our beaches, there is always a need for surf lifesavers. Mr Duroux hopes that the day will attract new members. “It is a great opportunity for high school students to get a taste for what Surf Life Savers do and hopefully encourages more students to become involved as a volunteer.”

Everyone obviously enjoyed the day and by surfing for their team instead of just themselves, the guys put in a little more effort and creativity without the pressure of being eliminated as in most other club meets.

Highest wave scorers were Ben McDonald with an average of 14.6 for his 2 counted waves, Jack Cerne 14.4, Sam Boulton 14.3. Sam was also nominated as a double points rider for the Gold Coast so effectively scored a massive 28.6 for his team in that particular heat.

Highest overall scorers in their categories were Casey Robinson, Brody Zagar and Corey McLean for the Headlanders and locals guys Jackson Lewin and Sam Boulton for the Gold Coast.

The challenge has been thrown down and Gold Coast swear they’ll take the trophy home next time – State of Origin in Bodyboarding is now on everyone’s mind ! At Headlanders, all we can say is ‘BRING IT ON’.

Royal Life saving says that appropriate supervision is much more than an occasional glance – it is a constant watch as well as keeping your child within arms reach.

Pictured below, Olympic swimming star Samantha Riley, who is a long time ambassador of the Royal Life Saving’s ‘Keep Watch’ program, says it’s vital that parents are constantly alert when their children are near water.
