Torch sheds light on human rights abuses

Lazarus leaves Greens after standoff Michael McDonald Byron Shire Councillor John Lazarus resigned from the Greens last Thursday after a standoff with other Greens councillors over his behaviour. Last September Cr Lazarus was censured 5-1 by his fellow councillors with Crs Barham, Staples and Tabart absenting themselves from the vote, citing a conflict of interest as moves were already under way to bring a complaint against Cr Lazarus to the local Greens branch.

Replicating the journey of the Olympic Torch the Human Rights Global Torch Relay arrived in Byron Bay on Sunday morning. The global relay’s mission is to highlight human rights violations in China particularly those against Falun Gong practitioners, which make up two-thirds of reported cases of torture from China’s labour camps. Other prisoners include democracy and environmental activists, lawyers, Christians and Tibetans. Accusations of abuse levelled at the Chinese government include arbitrary detentions, organ harvesting from living

prisoners of conscience and systematic torture. Ian Cohen MLC and Byron Shire Councillors Westheimer, Tucker, Tabart and Mangleson addressed the gathering in Railway Park and called for the public to lobby the new federal government and the state government to increase pressure on China over its human rights abuses in the lead up to the Beijing Olympics. ‘Medical experimentation using people who happen to be Falon Gong practitioners and harvesting their organs is a barbaric practice,’ said Ian Cohen. ‘Unless China changes its human rights record

the Olympics will be a farce. The Chinese government would do well to take notice of these issues, and the Australian government would also do well to stop blindly following the economic attraction of the Chinese marketplace and recognise that we can trade with China but certain basic conditions must apply.’ According to the Human Rights Torch Relay site – www.humanrightstorch.org – hundreds of thousands of Chinese citizens are held as political prisoners without charge or trial, including democracy activists, lawyers, human rights defenders, religious leaders,

journalists, trade unionists,Tibetan Buddhists, Uighurs, ‘unofficial’ church members, Falun Gong practitioners, environmental activists, health and reproductive rights activists, and political dissidents ‘People have been evicted from their homes to make way for commercial construction, and beaten or killed if they protest; any meagre payment offered to them is usually stolen by corrupt local officials,’ the site says. ‘Millions of Chinese are also sent without trial to slave labor camps, where they are tortured and forced to work long days producing consumer goods.’

The Byron Ballina Greens issued a brief statement of events which wished Cr Lazarus well as an independent on Council but what went on at the Greens meeting last Thursday was much more colourful. Cr Lazarus told The Echo, ‘The Mayor and I had a standoff when she was not able to get a resolution to expel or suspend me from the Greens. The meeting… did not come to a resolution that satisfied the Mayor. ‘The Mayor was initially seeking expulsion in the complaint, but moved to supporting a 12 months suspension (which would have prevented me standing with the Greens at the next Council election). After three and half hours of the meeting, and after straw polls and failed 12 month and six month suspension motions, the Mayor, looking visibly stressed, stated continued on page 2

Cormac Lally has been missing since last Tuesday November 27. He is in his late twenties and described as six foot tall (180-185cm) with blond curly dreads, blue eyes, an Irish accent and a bright nature and was last seen in Main Arm. Around 11pm last Tuesday, Lally went for a walk from the property on which he was staying on Main Arm Road, in the region of Durrumbul seen since and family and Hall, about 6kms out of Mul- friends are deeply concerned lumbimby. He has not been for his whereabouts.

The North Byron Farmers Market Inc (NBFM) is pleased to announce the opening of a new weekly local farmers market on Tuesday December 11, 8am11am at the New Brighton Oval. Mayor Jan Barham will ofďŹ cially open the market at 9am and patrons will be greeted by the polyphonic sounds of the Ocean Shores Peas Choir. ‘Weekly local farmers markets are becoming an increasingly important ďŹ xture of the local landscape

with Byron Shire Council actively encouraging their establishment through its Sustainable Agriculture strategy and Market policy,’ say market orgnaisers. ‘With the addition of a farmers market at New Brighton, Byron Shire will now host three farmers markets, each in different geographic locations, and there could still be room for more in the future. ‘The importance of genuine farmers markets – that is, local produce sold directly at the market to the consumer

by the farmer – cannot be underestimated. They are helping to create a viable local food economy, generating decent incomes for farmers; boosting local food production and strengthening the ability of the community to feed itself, in a time when security of food supply and escalating food prices are becoming important issues. ‘They also help to circumvent environmentally unfriendly “food miles�, whereby local produce is transported to wholesale markets in our capital cities

only to be transported back to their place of origin. ‘The NBFM is a not for proďŹ t community association that supports local food production for local consumption. It welcomes consumers as members, and all proďŹ ts made by the association will be ploughed back into the community by way of public education programs dedicated to raising awareness on food issues.’ The farmers market at New Brighton will be open each Tuesday from 8am to 11am.

quite forcibly that unless the meeting resolved to act on disciplining me then she would resign from the Greens. It did not appear that there would be any such resolution of the meeting. ‘I responded that I would not be responsible for the Mayor resigning from the Greens, and as the only other possible option, gave the meeting my resignation from the Greens party. I now stand on Byron Shire

Council as an Independent Councillor.’ Cr Barham described Cr Lazarus’s comments as factual, however said, ‘John indicating me being the sole source of complaints is not correct. It involved three Greens councillors and two ex-councillors – it was not driven by any one person. There were a number of meetings on the subject and attempts at resolution.’ Cr Tom Tabart supported Cr Barham’s version of

events, saying ‘Jan was always reluctant to do it – I forced her into it because of the stress she was under. We had two formal meetings requesting John change his behaviour but he was totally deďŹ ant. ‘The Byron Ballina Greens had gone through a constitutional conduct committee process which found the complaints validated. There was a provisional ďŹ nding he should be suspended for 12 months and be monitored

by the other councillors. ‘John appealed and it came to the Greens meeting last Thursday where the whole thing descended into farce. It was decided the conduct committee decision was not valid. ‘Twenty eight out of 100 members voted and they were mostly uninformed. It went round and round in multiple straw votes. Both Jan and I proposed resigning if John were not suspended.’

Cohen calls for checks on GM crops Greens MLC Ian Cohen hopes to provide checks on GM crops now that the state government plans to end the moratorium on their planting. He also hopes for public pressure on the issue. Mr Cohen told The Echo, ‘The government want their Gene Technology (GM Crop Moratorium) Amendment Bill 2007 to go through the Upper House of the NSW Parliament on Tuesday December 4 to allow the commercial cultivation of canola. GM food crops would destroy this state’s clean, green agricultural status and pose threats to our export markets for GM free produce. GM foods also

threaten human health and the environment. ‘I will be moving an amendment to impose strict legal liability on owners of gene food crop patents. I am also moving an amendment calling for transparency in the government’s GM crop advisory panel process (the Expert Committee advising the Minister). ‘I believe there is a major catastrophe looming for our food supply. There has been a lack of animal testing and clear testing as to the safety of long term human consumption. ‘Despite the federal ALP being elected on Greens preferences, at the state level

we are being alternately ridiculed or ignored. The Bill coming at us will create a huge corporate dominance, loss of farming diversity and attack on small to medium size producers in agriculture production. ‘My and other’s efforts over the last five years have failed, and we need help. ‘Please write to the Pre-

mier to stop GM food crops being grown in NSW. Once GM crops get the green light, there will be no turning back.’ Mr Cohen said Premier Morris Iemma can be emailed at ThePremier@ www.nsw.gov.au and mail can be sent to Premier Morris Iemma, Macquarie St, Sydney, NSW 2000.

Hamper appeal going well Organiser Ann Thompson says the response to the Christmas Hamper Appeal for farming communities has been ‘absolutely overwhelming again.

As well as food, people have donated hundreds of toys, gifts and toiletries – even two brand new girl’s bicycles! ‘A big thankyou to all who have donated already, but there is still time if you have not already done so. Most readers will know where they can drop off donated items, but if still in doubt, please ring me on 6629 1041 for your nearest depot.’

Byron HSC students high achievers Jann Gilbert HSC results are not out yet but a number of Byron Bay High School Arts students can already feel proud of what they’ve achieved. Students in Design & Technology and Drama have excelled at getting their work recognised both nationally and within the State. In fact they seem to be in so much demand that catching up with them is almost as difficult as getting an audience with the Pope! Byron Bay High School Drama teacher Rob Owens says he’s incredibly proud of what the 2007 HSC Arts students have achieved. ‘They have been a really interesting group. Wildly passionate and challenging: they have all the talent in the world and the energy to go

with it.’ It seems a number of prominent arts organisations think so too. Design and Technology student Katriya McDonald’s HSC project was chosen as part of the Powerhouse Museum’s Design and Technology exhibition, which will be touring regional NSW from March to June 2008. It was also shortlisted for the Powerhouse’s prestige onsite exhibition. Katriya’s creation is a wedding dress made from white garbage bags and is inspired by Pygmalion, which she studied in Year 11. ‘I had to have a cheap project, and I always wanted to do something with fashion and textiles, that’s why I took Design & Technology. The plastic bags fitted the bill, and the idea of the lace-

work comes from the paper snowflakes my Grandad used to make with us when we were little,’ says Katriya. Fellow student, Osha Shealey, has had her HSC Textiles and Design project selected for the Texstyle Exhibition, an exhibition of HSC major textiles projects, to be held at Vaucluse House in Sydney from 26 January 2008. For a textile project to be selected it must demonstrate a high standard of manufacture and a high degree of creativity and/or innovation. Other Arts students, Nell Pearson, Jordan Leser, Tane Richardson and JackYounger have had their work shortlisted for ARTEXPRESS, a joint initiative of the NSW Department of Education and Training and the Board

of Studies NSW in association with the Art Gallery of New South Wales. Jack Younger has also been shortlisted for the ABC’s ArtsNest award to be announced on December 6 and, at the time of writing, was in Melbourne for an interview with RMIT for a place in a prestigious photography course. They don’t normally take school leavers but the quality of Jack’s worked earned him an interview. Jack says it went well but he won’t know if he got a place until later this month. ‘It’s a pretty nerve-wracking time,’ says Jack, ‘but it’s great! When you’re talking about Arts, country schools have less opportunities. We can’t go to galleries every day so to achieve this much is fantastic.’

Scores of young people from the Far North Coast have recently returned from a Youth Insearch camp, including eight students from Byron Bay High School. The camp, now being offered to this area, has helped over 30,000 teenagers for the last 22 years. According to Linda Casuarina, representative for the area, ‘The camp is an opportunity for young people to talk, decide on the direction they want to take their life, and make proactive, positive decisions.’ The program discusses such issues as communication, family breakdown, drugs and alcohol, bullying, grief and loss. Although there is a therapeutic side to the camp, it is also very social and youth friendly. Young people have a chance to meet other young people and discover they are not the only ones who may be having difficulties. Camp participants are guided by Youth Insearch leaders whose responsibility is to provide a positive role model, support and motivation to young people. Support is also available after the camp to help young people make positive changes and receive help from other community

organisations if necessary. Ms Casuarina’s sees a real gap in the community that needs to be filled. She says, ‘You would be surprised how many young people are hurting and needing counselling, especially grief coun-

selling. This is why I am inviting therapists to contact me if they can be available to offer some time to help teenagers.’ The camp cost is $100 for the weekend, however some young people cannot afford

Young, naive and seemingly bullet-proof, the ďŹ ve set out on a trek with a small pack of rare two-humped camels from the towering Himalayas of Ladakh into the sun-drenched deserts of Northern India and onto the famous Pushkar Camel Fair in Rajasthan. When they

Huey turns it on for disabled surfers’ day Jann Gilbert With Huey turning on a beautiful half-metre swell and a light north-easterly coasting across Clarkes Beach on Saturday morning, the Disabled Surfing Association (DSA) couldn’t have picked a better day for their latest event. After a 7.30 Report story some time ago DSA have now achieved a somewhat higher proďŹ le and attracted enough support to open a number of new branches throughout Australia. Not, however, enough of a proďŹ le to receive government funding. As Ted Kabbout, coordinator with DSA, says, ‘Apparently we’re not a sport because we don’t compete! So therefore, we don’t qualify for funding.’ Unfortunately it’s the setup costs that are prohibitive in getting more branches

As a result of an innovative new program that Arts Northern Rivers has been running this year, Mullumbimby based painter Robyn Sweaney will exhibit her paintings of classic north coast houses for the first time with Tim Olsen Galleries in Sydney from December 8 to 22. This is just one of number of new relationships that are now blossoming between northern rivers artists and galleries from across Australia and it’s all thanks to the VAN project (Visual Arts Network)– http://visualartsnetwork.net.au . The exhibition titled Emoh Ruo, meaning in reverse, Our Home, will feature her latest paintings and drawings of house portraits sourced from the north coast region. They are real homes, not the glamorous new wave of large and expensive houses being built in this region. With the rapid pace of development on the north coast these paintings may soon be all that is left of an architectural heritage that is often overlooked.

Robyn Sweaney’s painting of a north coast home, entitled ‘Blue Day’.

Robyn says she is drawn to the intimate and unique environments of other people homes and the way that each home reflects their owner’s lives and aesthetics. ‘We have taken these places for granted, and have not considered them to be important in either historical or architectural terms, though many of us have grown up in them or lived

existed and which continue, behind the familiar street façade and represent an era disappearing because of changing social trends and aesthetic ideals within our community.’ You can listen in to ABC Radio National on Saturday morning December 8 to hear Robyn discuss her exhibition.

Recycling seen as a spiritual response Byron Shire artist Lucille Martin’s exhibition ‘Naturally Selected’ takes recycling to a spiritual level. In response to global consumption at the expense of the planet, Lucille has created artworks that express the fragility of nature, and look at issues relating to the plundering of the earth’s resources. Lucille uses discarded textiles and wooden ornaments alongside computer embroidered representations of birdlife and nature in a fusion of the traditional craft practices of sewing and monogramming with modern technology to give new form to life’s discarded objects. The title of the exhibition is borrowed from the Darwinian theory of natural selection, and is an expression of the fact that humans are destroying nature at a rapid rate. Two pieces in particular, ‘Conference’ and ‘The Monarch’, are aimed at highlighting the plight of endangered wildlife, showing that some of our bird and butterfly species are fighting for their existence. ‘Conference’ especially

speaks about Australian native birds. ‘The important message of this exhibition is that we need to conserve our natural resources,’ says Lucille, who works from her studio in Mullumbimby. ‘Land clearing is wiping out our birdlife.’ She has primarily used textiles and objects that have been discarded, or items she has found for a few cents in the op-shop. ‘We need to

acknowledge what we have and reuse those things. I have cut up wooden bowls to create the association with trees, and other found objects. These things have now become something else, and will live on in someone’s life in another way.’ Naturally Selected displays pieces from as small as your hand up to 2.5 metres wide, and will be exhibited in conjunction with ‘Threaded Connections’, a contempo-

rary work embroidered by several women, of whom Lucille was the overseer. The piece, almost two years in the making, will hang in the Lismore Regional Gallery Naturally Selected will be showing from December 7 at the Lismore Regional Art Gallery.

Bangalow sewage treatment plant comes onstream Following commissioning and performance testing, Byron Shire Council has resolved that the new Bangalow Sewage Treatment Plant has capacity to receive additional load. Council’s general manager Pamela Westing said this means development applications that would increase the load on the sewerage system can now be assessed and considered for approval. The new treatment plant

is a membrane bio-reactor design and uses normal biological activity for the treatment of the sewage and then micro filtration through membrane straws as a final polishing process. According to Council, the final effluent has ‘significantly less nutrients than the old plant and will improve water quality in Maori Creek. Some of the other benefits from the new plant are low energy usage, auto-

mated control, and small land requirements with minimal odour and noise production. ‘In addition to lowering nutrients in the effluent, the impact to the creek is further lessened by irrigating the treated water on a bamboo plantation adjacent to the treatment plant. ‘The reuse scheme is currently using between a quarter to one third of average daily inflows, with the bal-

ance of flows being directed to Maori Creek. ‘The environmental impact of the reuse scheme is currently being monitored and the reuse amount will be slowly increased with the ultimate aim being 100% dry weather reuse in the future.’ The tender for the plant upgrade was a matter of public debate when it was let to a subsidiary company of Halliburton.

Rudd breaks through white picket fence Vol 22 #26

December 4, 2007

Reno on the run NSW planning minister Frank Sartor seems relentless in his efforts to minimise local councils’ role in development assessment – except for those occasions on which he wants them to do assessments for his department and bear the costs as well. The NSW planning system must be one of the most ďŹ ddled-with in history, review following on the heels of review, its execution mired in labyrinthine procedure rivalling Indian bureaucracy. The latest discussion paper is called ‘Renovating the Planning System’, a sort of backyard blitz for developers. It can be downloaded from www.planning.nsw.gov.au/planning_reforms/index.asp. Naturally Mr Sartor thinks it’s the bee’s knees, saying families and small businesses will beneďŹ t from it – you know, those mums and dads he has lunch with in expensive Sydney restaurants. For the discussion paper, the Department of Planning collated feedback from the recent ‘New Ideas in Planning’ forum. Fans of the ABC’s Stateline will realise this was the event moderated by Quentin Dempster, at which local government representatives tore strips off the minister – not that it moved him one jot, as the Property Council was busy praising him in his other ear. You can see more about the forum at www.planning.nsw.gov.au/forum/index.asp. The minister says, ‘Too many people feel the system is unwieldy and inaccessible and dread having to submit their plans because it could take months – or years – to resolve.’ We would have to agree with him there. The question is, though: will any fast-tracking as a result of the ‘renovations’ be for the beneďŹ t for the mums and dads or the developers who want to whack anything they like into a residential or business zone? According to the Local Government and Shires Associations of NSW, the proposed changes threaten the ability of families to have a say on what is built next door. Its main concern was the increased role of building certiďŹ ers together with regional panels. ‘Increased powers to building certiďŹ ers and the implementation of regional panels would reduce council planning powers and the ability for mums and dads to have a say on what is being built next door,’ said Cr Genia McCaffery, the association’s president. ‘Regional developments can be anything from a shopping centre to a block of units – which all have a signiďŹ cant impact on the look and feel of communities. ‘On the plus side we are relieved the minister has listened to local government and acknowledged the importance of e-planning, but we will examine the Planning Assessment Commission closely to ensure the government’s powers are not expanded. ‘Although we support reform, local government is disappointed it has not had the opportunity to provide educated feedback and has been sidelined while Minister Sartor drip fed his intentions for the NSW planning system through the media. ‘Local communities are the ones that will have to deal with poor planning decisions and they expect us to get the changes right. It is councils’ right and responsibility to be at the centre of this process.’ The discussion paper will be out for public consultation until Friday February 8, 2008. Comments can be posted to Planning Reforms, Department of Planning, GPO Box 39, Sydney NSW 2001; emailed to planningreform@planning. nsw.gov.au; or lodged on the planning department website.

f you have any doubt that the election of a Rudd Labor government has changed the country, consider this: a year ago, did you imagine that the Prime Minister would be sending an openly gay woman of Chinese ancestry to Bali to ratify the Kyoto protocol on Australia’s behalf? Because that’s exactly what Climate Change Minister Penny Wong will be doing – after she’s ďŹ nished reporting on her visits to a couple of schools and a homeless centre, and any other homework Kevin Rudd ďŹ nds it necessary to set before giving them all a day off for Christmas. The break with the past eleven years spent behind John Howard’s white picket fence could hardly be more dramatic. Kyoto, of course, has been one of the great symbolic differences between Labor and the coalition; another is WorkChoices, and Julia Gillard is already busy putting that to sleep so she can concentrate on what she rightly sees as her main job, implementing Rudd’s education revolution. And the third major symbol will be the long overdue apology to the stolen generation, now being prepared, as it should be, not just by the government, but in consultation with Aboriginal leaders. It would be nice to believe that this will be the start of a new surge towards genuine reconciliation, with a renewal of goodwill on both sides. But unfortunately it is not as simple as that. During the wasted years of the Howard era too much has changed for Rudd to be able to pick up where Paul Keating left off. On both sides, the politics are more complicated. The arrival of Noel Pearson and

his agenda of black capitalism has split the Aboriginal leadership and on the white side the discarded policy of assimilation is making a comeback. An apology is a necessary ďŹ rst step, but the distrust right across the board is now too deep for it to be the cathartic event it might have been when Howard first rejected the opportunity. One thing that needs to be made clear immediately is just what Rudd intends to do about the Northern Territory intervention, because the signals going out to the settlements have been very mixed. Rudd himself has said there will not be a review until the ďŹ rst 12 months are up, but even that is unclear: do the 12 months date from

Kyoto, of course, has been one of the great symbolic differences between Labor and the coalition; another is WorkChoices‌ by Mungo MacCallum the announcement in June or from the roll-out, which is still very much a work in progress? But in any case, much of Labor’s campaigning, by the Northern Territory’s Warren Snowdon and the now minister, Jenny Macklin, in particular, has implied that Labor will immediately reinstate the permit system which gives the communities power to control access to their land, and at least partially restore the CDEP, the Aboriginal work-for-the-dole program on which many communities depend. This should be clariďŹ ed at once; the communities are in a huge state of confusion already and the last thing

Labor should do is to add to it. The architect of the intervention, the now seatless Mal Brough, and the new Liberal leader, Brendan Nelson, have both issued emotional pleas to Rudd to keep the process going unchanged and Rudd has accepted the primacy of protecting vulnerable children. But before accepting Brough’s lines about how happy the communities are with the intervention taking place and how well things have settled into place, he may care to glance at some of the voting ďŹ gures from the Northern Territory. Warren Snowdon won his electorate of Lingiari, which takes in all of the Territory outside Darwin, for Labor by a margin of almost two to

one; but the vote in the remote communities was much higher – generally between 80 and 90 percent. In Yirrkala, where the most important of the elders, Gallarwuy Yunupingu, actually endorsed Brough’s plan, the Labor vote was 99 percent. And even in Hopevale, NoÍl Pearson’s own Cape York community, Labor scored 75 percent. Admittedly, Labor has always polled well in the communities and did not oppose the intervention; but even so, the figures can hardly be interpreted as a ringing declaration of support for Brough’s invasion. Reconciliation will be a long,

hard road and it is obviously not one of Rudd’s immediate priorities. But it is to be hoped that at least he avoids the worst of Howard’s mistakes and includes the Aborigines themselves in any proposals he makes. The opposition, of course, is still as confused about the issue as ever: Nelson still rejects the idea of an apology while his most serious rival, Malcolm Turnbull, regards it as a necessary break with the past. Actually it probably doesn’t matter much what the opposition does for the next six months, because it will be at least that long before they regroup sufďŹ ciently for anyone to take them seriously. Indeed, it may take another change of leadership before they settle down:Tony Abbott has already been honest enough to declare himself a contender in future, Peter Costello is lurking on the backbench with the suggestion that he just might reconsider and make himself available if they asked him really, really nicely, and of course no-one had any doubt about Turnbull’s ambition. Nelson’s leadership hangs by a very thin thread. And with the long-dreaded Labor monopoly ďŹ nally in place, it is tempting to say that the same applies to the Liberal Party as a whole: with no government base anywhere to fall back on, it faces a lean few years, as does its dwindling coalition partner. The Nationals’ stocks have never been lower and electing a new leader eight years older than his predecessor is unlikely to revive them. After 11 years as supreme rulers, the conservatives are at their lowest point ever. Thank you and good night, John Howard.

Home for arts It goes without saying that Mullumbimby is the heart of Byron Shire: leafy streets, fine river parklands, a friendly community expressing a high level of creativity. This was more than apparent at a meeting held by the Mullumbimby Showgrounds Trust on Sunday November 25. A wide range of interests including pony clubs, men’s groups, treeplanting, landcare, the differently-abled, and the visual arts kept ever yone enthusiastically engaged for a couple of hours as suggestions were discussed regarding the use of the amenity. My particular interest, the visual arts, brought into focus the lost and lamented Easter Arts Classic which was previously held in the Byron Community Centre until it was redeveloped. Now homeless, why not relocate the Classic to one of the buildings at the Showgrounds? An unselected show, all entries were hung, bringing together work of many mediums and levels. Professionalism was not the criteria, the objective more to give everyone a go. As a result a true community event took place, providing that inestimable commodity, social capital. So how about it, arts community, a local event over the busy Easter holiday with plenty of parking in a noncommercial environment? Jill Keogh

Shire Council why the sewers of Mullum overflow several times per year. I’d suggest all residents, especially those who use the river, ask all their Councillors why. The problem will not be solved with the STP upgrade, in fact it’ll be made worse. When the STP is commissioned in a few years’ time, Council will lift its development moratorium and more bums will sit on seats. More sewage will be created and more of its ‘content’ will be washed out of the sewers into the river by rain. Perhaps we need a moratorium until the sewer inflow problem is actually fixed. To date, Council doesn’t even know the cause. It could be the deep sewers as Malcolm suggests. But it is more likely the massive web of shallow sewer pipes that service each house. Evidence for this is the rapid response of the overflow to rainfall bursts during wet weather. The town’s sewers act as a rain gauge! Almost as soon as there is water in the backyards of Mullum, there is sewage in the river. It is not a problem that individuals can fix. It is a

Make a splash Popular Lennox activist/ community worker Kay Warbrook, who died recently, had the vision of an enclosed rock swimming pool being established at the southern end of Seven Mile Beach. The nucleus is there, because early families moved rocks to form a series of pools. Unobtrusive surf-side walls would add to their safety and useage. Kay had fond memories of historic seaside pools at Sydney beaches. Blue-green algae has closed Lake Ainsworth for months. Is the ‘jewel in the crown’ permanently tarnished? People are defying swimming/boating warnings. A seaside rock pool would be an alternative for tourists and residents. Another Kay project was Lennox Head Community Centre, including Lennox

Reducing GHG Here’s a fresh idea. What if we could reduce our greenhouse gas emissions by a whopping 80% in relation to our daily travel? One hundred and ten grams of CO2 is emitted every kilometre by a passenger car so a reduction of 80% would reduce the amount of emissions per kilometre to 22 grams of CO2. Such a dramatic reduction is possible where a worker, student or other commuter has the option of taking a train instead of driving. As most of the daily trips we currently make involve travel between towns and centres connected by the CasinoMurwillumbah line, there is huge potential to turn this idea into reality. If just twenty per cent of

the road traffic travelling between Bangalow and Lismore was transferred to rail, there would be approximately 2,000 less vehicle movements a day and a reduction of over seven tonnes of CO2 emitted each day.The saving in a year is over 2,500 tonnes. Road transport is responsible for 12.1% of all greenhouse gas emissions and there has been a 25% increase since 1990 (National Greenhouse Gas Inventory 2004).

Australia’s relatively small population and large land mass will make it virtually impossible to achieve a cut of 60% in overall emissions by 2050 unless we get serious about developing sustainable transport systems. Now all we need is for the new leadership to recall their 2004 election promise and start working with their NSW counterparts to get commuter trains on the CasinoMurwillumbah line.

Flooding from across the border It doesn’t take a lot of imagination to realise the impact the Dunloe Park Sand Extraction Plant may have on the Tweed-Byron coastal floodplain. It contains two lakes covering a total of nearly 60ha. This area is to be bunded off to reduce contamination of the adjacent Mooball Creek and surrounding floodplain. It is 3km north of the Byron Shire border. Mooball Creek ? It’s the one which takes a lot of the coastal floodwaters north of Ocean Shores out to sea.

Anyone who is affected by floodwaters in this area is right to be concerned. A bit of healthy cynicism that perhaps the NSW Planning Minister does not consider all things equal is not a bad thing. The DA is in front of the Minister at the moment. The flood modelling that was provided in the DA was very rudimentary and failed to consider the cumulative effects of the onslaught of new developments along the floodplain. Most people are aware

there is an extensive TweedByron Coastal Creeks Floodplain Study being undertaken right now. This is supposedly a much more rigorous study than has been conducted in this area before.Would it be too much to ask the Planning Minister to hold off on making a decision on such a large development until the results are in? It is obvious to many people that as soon as these lakes are built there will be a sudden discovery that the demand for sand is not as

large as expected and the noise and dust and traffic problems really are too much and they will then volunteer to simply use the lakes as a residential waterfront estate. Voila! Magic! Problems solved. Except of course that flooding impact. Perhaps the North Byron Shire Parklands should be including a lot more wetland species in their tree-planting days – something that likes a bit of innundation… Chris Cherry

Letters appropriate time to show Mr MacCallum the door as one would imagine there is nothing left for him to write about with the former PM’s demise. Next to Mr Howard’s name are great accomplishments and abysmal failures, prosperity and struggle, peaceful times and war.

NHAGging If Mac Nicolson (Letters, November 27) doesn’t want to keep getting the finger, NHAGS need to stop treating landholders the same as John Howard treated the Australian people. Mike Nicholls

Q As a local ‘landcarer’ I was rather surprised to read of Mac Nicholson’s claims that landcare and the proposed bridlepaths project are compatible and relationships harmonious. The umbrella group for local landcare groups, Brunswick Valley Landcare, has recently expressed some of its environmental concerns re the bridlepath proposal to Byron Shire Council. I am only aware of one landcare site that is being used by horseriders and I have personally been called in to do some conflict resolution between the two groups with ‘issues’ ongoing. Landcare volunteers are becoming an endangered species and any funds we may have for tree-planting and environmental restoration works come from writing funding applications to state and federal bodies and being successful in an

increasingly competitive system. If the horse riding community wanted to engage landcarers in tree planting projects it would need to seek its own funding and approach local landcare groups for support. I have real concerns on the inadequate public consultation process involved in this proposal. Leaseholders of the paper roads identified and adjacent landholders have not been notified by either Byron Council or the Department of Lands. The text provided giving trail numbers and the cadastral map that shows trails with no numbers are confusing and difficult to interpret. I am sure there are many affected leaseholders in the community who remain unaware of the proposal and now the submission period has closed. Some of the paper roads identified are either not fenced or fenced in response

to physical constraints. The concerns of leaseholders regarding trail users encroaching on private land are very real. There will be issues as to who funds the fencing that is required and how fences will be constructed in rocky creek gullies. Mac’s suggestion that the horse riding community will roll up their sleeves and do the necessary work is laudable but unrealistic. Surely such an arrangement cannot be accepted by Byron Council (and ratepayers) who will have the ultimate legal and financial responsibility for trail maintenance and compliance. Judy MacDonald

Big Voice for youth Young people in the Northern Rivers will be able to voice their views on a range of issues and play a key role in shaping research activities through a group set up by Southern Cross University’s Centre for Children and Young People. The Centre has established a youth consultative group, known as Young People Big Voice (YPBV), made up of nine new members aged 13 to 21 years. Jennifer Parke, the facilitator of the group, said the participants came from a broad range of backgrounds and experience. ‘They will act as a bridge between young people and the Centre for Children and Young People,’ Ms Parke said. ‘They will be able to shed light on lots of issues affecting young people and they

will be able to influence the research undertaken by the Centre.’ Ms Parke said in addition to being a driver for research projects, the group would provide input into how research was undertaken and advise on what research methods could work best with young people. One of the first activities for the group was to participate in a meeting of international researchers from the Childwatch International Research Network. The researchers, who met at Southern Cross University last month, are planning an international study focussed on rural children and young people. Ms Parke said it was also hoped the group could provide input into other activities in the Northern Rivers region.

Threading connections through fabric, art and film Story & photo Eve Jeffery After being thrown into the spotlight because of her win in New York’s 2004 Shor t Film Festival for The Deep Pool, Sharon Shostak became a wanted woman, and found herself commissioned to make an ar t piece for the Lismore Regional Gallery. Though making documentaries was something she never imagined she would be doing , this is exactly what the Mullumbimby mother of two has spent a good part of the last two years working on. The film entitled Threaded Connections tells the stor y of over 40 women from the Lismore and District Branch of the NSW Embroiderer s Guild who together under the direction of conceptual artist Lucille Martin created a major contemporar y art

piece destined to g race the wall of the new galler y planned for Lismore. Sharon, who fi lmed at six week intervals, said tha t many of the w omen, some quite elderly, were on occasion doubly out of their comfort zone, for both the concept of the work and for being filmed making it. ‘Some of the women were very uncomfortable at first and chose not to be fi lmed. Of those who did, I had to find a way to capture them without being too intimidating,’ says Sharon. ‘I had to hold the camera in a certain way so as to make them feel as if w e were just ha ving a conversation. ‘Some of them only wanted to have their hands filmed. These women are a world unto themselves and I had to win their confidence.’

Sharon did win their tr ust and some of the w omen changed their minds about not being fi lmed once they saw her methods. At several locations around Lismore and at Lucille’s studio, Threaded Connections was filmed over a tw o year period which a t times w as tiring for all concer ned, as

the very different worlds of traditional and contemporary art were set to collide. Sharon says the challenge was for Lucille to keep the focus within the g roup and enthusiasm over such a long period of time. ‘At the end ev eryone felt quite relieved that it w as over, as happens with v ery

large projects, but with the film tracking the jour ney, it captured the passion and inspiration that carried it, as well as the sheer hard w ork involved. ‘The film shows the evolution of the piece, which in itself was fascinating, and adds a depth to the viewing of the completed ar twork

that would not be possible without it.’ Having a backg round as an artist herself, Sharon feels that she understood the creative process, and this was a major factor in her being chosen to make the fi lm. ‘I worked for many years as a mosaic ar tist. This project brought together several things tha t I lo ve, including old w omen and embroidery, and I am fascinated by the ar t making process. I w as also g iven sovereignty over the project so I was able to plumb the depths of m y own knowledge and pull the drama out of real life.’ The 40 minute film will be screened as par t of the Threaded Connections exhibition, which star ts on December 7, and will be accompanied by 40 individual works from the Lismore and District Embroiderers Group, and a solo exhibition by Lucille Martin.

Levy and is undertaking priority regeneration works throughout the Shire. Reflecting on the first year of works, Bush Regeneration Supervisor Heidi Lunn said Byron is a place of remarkable biodiversity; unfortunately that also includes many weed species. The team is currently working on more than 30 sites throughout the Shire, including many sites tha t are habita t for threatened plants and animals. ‘Most sites tha t we are working on require extensive initial weed removal in order to create favourable conditions for the regenera tion of native species,’ Miss Lunn said. ‘Fortunately, native plants often regenera te well once the w eeds species are removed. The team also has an ongoing maintenance schedule in place to ensure

that vegetation condition continues to improve over time.’ A remnant pa tch of Big Scrub rainforest at McLeod’s Shoot is typical of the challenges that the team has taken on. The site has an extremely high conservation value as one of the few remaining patches of vegetation of its type in the Shire. Weeds such as Madeira vine, Lantana and Easter Cassia had threatened the na tive

canopy and stunted the growth of na tive seedlings when the team fi rst arrived at the site in No vember 2006. One year on, the site is now a v ery different place. Cooperative efforts with volunteers, bush regenerators and the Nor thern Rivers Catchment Management Authority have also been an integral element of the achievement.

Promoter school encourages local youth Young people in the Byron Shire are getting the chance to learn about the music industry thanks to the support of Byron local and Splendour in the Grass cofounder, Jessica Ducrou. Promoter School, the brainchild of Ducrou, was developed as an initiative to support youth in the Byron area by giving them the opportunity to learn about the ins and outs of the music industry through a six week course. The course gives local youth the chance to see the music industry from an insider’s perspective learning everything from marketing, event management and publicity to booking artists and venues. It gives young people the chance to create a new skills set and get a true taste and understanding of the industry. Ducrou helped support youth events in Sydney before moving to Byron six

Katie and Tanj enjoyed Promoter School.

years ago and concerned about the lack of guidance and things for young people to do in the area created the program as a way to share her knowledge of the music industry, and encourage local youth to be creative and get involved in music events. ‘The opportunity was amazing and working at Splendour in the Grass was the highlight. The course is broad enough for young

people to get an idea of what part of the industry they are interested in,’ 2006 Promoter School graduate Katie Watts said. ‘Going onsite at Splendour in the Grass and learning, seeing and feeling what goes on at the event was priceless. ‘We also went on a field trip where we toured three different venues in the area, learnt how to walk a venue, book a venue space and look

at the differences between venues and which sort of acts suit each site. ‘I made a lot of contacts from the course who I still keep in touch with and I have now got a job at Splendour in the Grass each year,’ Watts said. Currently in its fifth year, Promoter School has had 30 students graduate from the course. ‘I think it is important to give back and encourage the next generation of music hopefuls and I’m lucky enough to be in a position to do that,’ Ducrou said. Splendour in the Grass has raised over $170,000 for the local Byron community with the Youth Activity Centre and ByronYouth Services both recipients of funding. If you are interested in taking part in the 2008 Promoter School please send an email to the General Manager at answers@splendourinthegrass.com.

Helping Street Cruise stay on the streets The future of Byron Bay’s Street Cruise initiative, which helps address safety issues for young people in the town at night, is in jeopardy. The program, which commenced in April 2003

and is run by Byron Youth Service (BYS), relies on community donations to stay afloat. Currently it only has enough funds to remain open until Christmas. A special charity screening of Moonshine Cinema at the Byron Bay Beach Resort is being held on Monday December 10, featuring The Pursuit of Happiness – with gates opening at 6pm and the movie showing at dusk.

Becton is working with the Byron Youth Service to hold this special charity event, which also includes use of resort facilities for the entire day. The resort passes cost $10 adult, $8 concession, $7 pensioner/ child, and provide use of all Byron Bay Beach Resort’s facilities including the golf course, swimming pools, tennis courts and cinema entry. Becton will give all resort

pass takings to Street Cruise, with the aim of helping the program continue over the summer months until additional funding can be secured to ensure its future. A total of $25,000 is needed to fund the program per year. Tickets to the resort and special charity season can be purchased on arrival at the gate, or prior at the Byron Bay Beach Resort reception.

Suffolk Park crime: problem or possibility? Story & photo Jann Gilbert Suffolk Park Progress Association president Peter Stolz has grave concerns about the disintegration of the community in Suffolk Park following a serious assault on two men in beachside Suffolk last weekend. Particularly in light of the recent spate of crime in the area and the community meeting that was organised in response to it. A community source revealed that two 18- to 19-year-old men were allegedly assaulted by a group of intoxicated juveniles wielding broken beer bottles. One of the men sustained serious lacerations to his head and required around 50 stitches. The other young man received injuries to his body that required around 30 stitches. According to the source the two men (schoolies in fact) were allegedly attacked when they came to the aid of a local teenage girl who was being verbally abused and threatened with physical assault. Superintendent Michael Kenny of Tweed Byron Local Area Command conďŹ rmed that a number of Suffolk Park juveniles were detained for questioning following the incident. Some were charged with causing affray and others with grievous bodily harm. ‘It’s an incredibly vicious assault. I know there have been problems in Suffolk Park recently but this is on a different level entirely, and very much an isolated incident. We want to assure peo-

ple that the alleged offenders have been charged and are on extremely strict bail conditions. Any breach of the conditions will result in immediate incarceration,’ Supt Kenny said. Assurances or no, Peter (and many other locals interviewed) believes that there’s a growing culture of fear and silence in the Suffolk Park community that is eroding the much-loved village atmosphere and contributing to the escalation of incidents. Peter is particularly concerned about the lack of follow-up to the recent public meeting regarding crime in the area. ‘To just drop the issue after a public meeting like that is simply not adequate. We have to keep talking as a community‌ if there are kids who have anti-social problems or tendencies then it comes from the lack of example from their parents Suffolk Park Progress Association president Peter Stolz. and other adults‌ People don’t seem to be aware of ing or destroying it, breaking that members of this group it downâ€?‌ and the worst have ‘glassed’ someone), what community is.’ thing is that that creates fear,’ harassment and malicious Social cost says Peter. ‘Where you have damage.

those people who are phoning around trying to beat a deadline that is already past. Now don't think that orders are not being taken, it is just that guaranteed delivery before Christmas for processed glass cannot be done if you have not already ordered it. OK, I believe the point has been made. Glass splashbacks in 6mm toughened glass is plus or minus 2mm tolerance Australian Standards. Over a couple of hundred thou-

‘I do understand the reasons for that. At the time it was a fairly threatening environment, there were 80 adults there, feelings were pretty white-hot at that point and I think a lot of people were just ofoading frustration. And that’s OK to some degree, as part of the whole community consultation process, but my concern is that there is something more that happens than just offloading frustration. The community needs to move on from that and to think constructively.’

Positive outcomes In fact there have been some positive outcomes from the meeting. Police report a downturn in incidents (apart from the assault) and, subsequent to the malicious damage to the Suffolk Park Fire Station, the RFS has recommenced a series of mentoring workshops reinforcing the idea that learning to use ďŹ re equipment, rather than destroying it, is cool. ‘It must be stressed that this is only a very small minority of kids,’ says Peter. ‘It’s not everybody and it’s not all of this age group. It’s only a very small proportion of the community but they are very visible because they tear down the sense of community, that’s the problem.’ All parties acknowledge that one of the problems, especially in a regional area, is the lack of activities for kids particularly on Friday and Saturday nights. Historically, the YAC has provided entertainment for kids however they ran into problems recently with building compliance issues (through no fault of their own). Some parents also expressed alarm at the idea that kids could actually leave these events. As one parent said, ‘Kids as young as 12 go to YAC events. That’s OK but they need to be in a “lock downâ€? situation. You can’t protect them or monitor their access to alcohol if they’re wandering the streets’. In terms of making kids responsible for their behaviour there are a lot of precedents for programs like those run by victims of crime

from their sample rack. That way everybody will then know its code number and more important, what colour it actually is. Take USA Antique White as an example, there are 36 different types and yes, they are all different. Transparent glass tiles are not acceptable as a sample, neither are samples of a colour in a 100ml sample pot when you ask for 1/8th of that colour. Please get a sample of the colour that your require.

and indigenous groups that could be used to encourage empathy and other cognitive behavioural changes in juvenile (and other) offenders. Ultimately, the only possible solution lies with the whole of the community. As Jan Barham says, ‘Discussion is the ďŹ rst step to problem solving’. In what turns out to be a cruel irony, the mother of the young teenage girl (who was helped by the two young men that were allegedly attacked) did not go to the last public meeting. ‘But I’ll deďŹ nitely be at the next one,’ she declares. ‘Although I have to say, I thought it was sending a mixed message to have a community meeting about alcohol-related crime at a pub.’

Friction The teenage girl’s mother, however, agrees with Peter and other residents that it is a small group of kids (mainly boys but girls are involved to some degree also) that have been implicated in the escalation of anti-social behaviour. She admits that her daughter had at one point been involved with this group of kids at school and the move away from them had caused friction. ‘These kids have achieved a slight hero status among their peers and that’s not the message that we want our kids getting. No-one came out to help my daughter except these two kids – schoolies! And look what they got for it. People don’t seem to care. I’m not saying my daughter is an angel but she’s now so traumatised that we’ve sent her away to stay with relatives and she won’t be going back to her school because four of the kids who’ve been charged go there.’ Let’s just hope that if a teenage girl has to go through the trauma of testifying against the alleged perpetrators that she knows she has the support not only of her family but her whole community as well. No doubt Peter Stolz and the Progress Association will be announcing a follow-up public meeting at which we can all show our resounding support.

Birthing at home, hardwiring for love Kali Wendorf In 2001, actress Ricki Lake gave birth to her second child in her home – in her bathtub to be precise – with the assistance of a midwife. She decided to birth at home after she experienced unwanted medical interventions while delivering her first child at a hospital birthing unit. This time she wanted birth on her own terms. Her experience became a documentary film, The Business of Being Born – a raw, potent testimony to the power of women’s bodies, and the power the medical system has over them. Homebirth is more than a lifestyle choice, it’s a commitment to an educated understanding of a baby’s neurological needs during the birth process, and how a woman’s body perfectly and masterfully meets those needs. It protects a newborn’s need for calm and connection. This connection – which is compromised through various routine nonessential medical interventions – hardwires the newborn’s brain for love. In short, through ensuring a natural, intervention-free environment, homebirth helps create a peaceful and loving society. ‘The evidence points to a short and yet critical period of time just after birth which has long-term consequences so far as our future capacity to love is concerned,’ writes obstetrician Dr Michel Odent. ‘We disregard the consequences of… interfering with or otherwise neglecting the physiology of that critical period at our peril.’ Regardless of the reams of research into the positive outcomes of homebirth, for mother, baby and society, the medical system has con-

vinced women in Australia that it is otherwise. Birth, we are told, is a medical condition. The majority of women are denied natural birth once they enter the system. Shockingly, now Australia has a caesarean section rate of 31 percent, double the safe level of 15 per cent recommended by the World Health Organisation and higher than the UK and the US. British childbirth guru Sheila Kitzinger, author of more than 20 books on the subject, accuses Australian obstetricians of ignoring women’s needs in favour of their own protection and profits. ‘The problem is that they [mothers] get forced through the hospital route by the obstetricians who don’t allow birth to progress naturally because of their workload or their fear of getting sued,’ she said in an interview recently. Less than one per cent of Australian women give birth at home, compared with ten per cent in New Zealand and 30 per cent in the Netherlands. Yet research shows that babies are safer born at home. Extensive statistical

Council’s good OH&S record Byron Shire Council’s Occupational Health and Safety Committee met recently to review outcomes from 2006/07 and previous years. The performance has been outstanding, said Council’s general manager Pam Westing. Council’s workers comcS pensation estimated premium has fallen from $1,020,769 in 2004 to $428,694 in 2007. Since 2004 Council has received workers compensation premium rebates totalling $405,801, and other rebates based on actual workers compensation premium and OHS performance totalling $243,148. These rebates add up to $648,949 that has been returned to fund other programs. ‘Council employed a fulltime Safety and Injury Man-

agement Officer in 2004, and this investment has really paid off,’ said Ms Westing.

analysis, accepted by UK government policy makers, concludes that birth at home or in small GP units is safer than birth in obstetric hospitals for mothers and babies in all categories of risk. Ricki Lake hopes to change Australia’s attitude towards homebirth, and reverse the soaring caesarean trend. Her transformative film, heralded as the ‘Inconvenient Truth of childbirth’ and yet to be released in the US, is being screened to sold-out audiences around Australia. Kindred magazine and

BIG TICKETS TO BIG BAND We have a double pass to see the Big Con Band at the Bangalow A&I Hall on Saturday. Email mandypow@ echo.net.au with subject header: ‘Bigger is Better’

Symbiosis brings together the musical and ethical beliefs of its founders Micka and Fraser. These two environmental science students also shared a love of Led Zeppelin, Reggae, dub and sustainability and in a few short years they have created a band that continues to inspire and invigorate communities across the country. Symbiosis means ‘living together for mutual benefit’, and it has become the artistic mission for the boys for the last three years. The band has been everything from a three piece to a nine piece, but now Symbiosis has pared down to five, something Micka credits as being the perfect number. (It also appears constantly in nature.)

‘There is less clutter and you can let the music breathe. Not having a horn section allows us to be more creative and true to the songs without big horn lines.’ The band has been busy recording their latest album for a February release. Micka is excited by how different this album is sounding. ‘I guess it’s bit of a cross section of the tunes that we play and there is a continual thread of that style running through. It was something we wanted to bring back so we weren’t just a big funk type band. It’s got some of that rock feel, inspired by Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin. It’s the kind of stuff that I was brought up on. There are dubbed out reggae surf tunes as well, with a bit of a grittier edge. There’s even some darker tunes which is unusual because we are seen as a more uplifting and positive type band.’

The darker material is where the band confronts more political subject matter, inspired by their environmental crusade. ‘One song is about fire and the history of fire, about traditional land managment and the burning of country.’

and people like Michael Franti do it so well, they are the ultimate purveyors of positve change and you feel empowered to do stuff and you feel enlightened and that you can actually do stuff to effect change.’

So how do you marry creativity and a political agenda?

This is inspirational at a gig, but do people take it home and actualise it in their own lives?

‘We have definitely got some politics in the band, definitely around environmental and social justice issues. Fraser and I both did environmental science, so we are privy to a lot of information and we seek it out too after having studied it for four years. It’s really important, and as a musician and someone with a potential platform, it’s good to inform, I don’t preach, but we are there to provide a platform. We don’t shove the message down people’s throats.’ ‘We have some political songs that are blatant with obvious lyricism,

‘People can take it to whatever extent they want to. It gets me down when people aren’t doing anything just take take taking.’ Symbiosis blend reggae with rock, gypsy with ska, hillbilly with hip hop. I suppose you could call it Gyp-Hop n Reggae Rock. Basically it’s a melting pot of musical flavours, uplifting soulful dub reggae grooves to downright foot stomping jump starters. They play the Beach Hotel in Byron Bay on Friday.

I am a shocking matchmaker. I am always trying to hook people up, whether they like it or not. I guess it’s because under the scab of cynicism is the bleeding heart of a romantic. I’ll admit it. Before my heart was torn asunder, I once wrote rambling poetry in notebooks about a boy called Peter Schloss with white blond hair and a silver tooth. I was madly in love with him until I discovered he’d bonked my best friend while I was sleeping. I think I wouldn’t have minded so much if I

was awake. It was my first major heartbreak and it fuelled my first creative release. I poured out pages and pages of blank verse, inspired by the Thoughts of Nanushka. I filled exercise books with my torment. It was really horrible. The tortured cries of a 15 year old who couldn’t comprehend betrayal, or that it was even possible for such incredible ecstasy to be transformed so instantly into pain. It was so unrestrained, so dramatic and so terribly terribly embarrassing.

What’s worse is I don’t know whatever happened to those books. I fear they’ll turn up long after I’m dead and my future great-grandchildren will read the early creative works of Nanna Nolan in shocked distaste. Flowery sentimental rubbish that is the literary equivalent of bonboniere. I have a lot of single friends who complain that they can never meet anyone. It’s like a quest. I am certain that with the right sort of intervention, I can locate their soulmate. My intentions are pure, but I haven’t been entirely successful. I’m yet to claim one happy coupling. But I persist. Like in Jenny’s case. Jenny is a very attractive, intelligent woman who I met through standup comedy. We developed an instant rapport and even though we aren’t close friends, there’s always been an easy intimacy between us. In the past I sent Jenny on a few dates

with another friend. We are sitting at my house chatting when the phone rings. It’s a single male friend who is asking for Jenny’s number. I say ‘You won’t believe it she’s sitting here beside me’ and hand her the phone. She looks uncomfortable. She politely deflects his invitations with ‘no, I’m busy’ or ‘I am not sure – I have the kids’ and ‘I think I have an assessment due that day, and that day... I’m washing my hair?’ He hangs up. Suddenly, I am a relationship counsellor on the attack. ‘Why did you do that? You should give him a go, he’s a really nice guy, you have to give men a chance, he’s got a job, he’s creative, he’s got his hair... really Jenny, you’ll never meet anyone.’ She looks at me exasperated. ‘Mandy, I am a lesbian.’ I’m gobsmacked. It had never come up, I just assumed she was straight, but I don’t miss a beat. ‘I have lots of single girlfriends.’

live music THE WORLD IS COMING TO WOODFORD Every year the unremarkable village of Woodford holds a most remarkable festival. The Woodford Festival program is out, and it’s like a glossy magazine of culture, music and experience. It’s a sit down read. I have a pen and I’m trying to mark a plan. I think you need a plan when you go to Woodford because there is so much on. Every crevice of the place is brimming with events, workshops, readings, installations, performances. I love that you don’t always know who you are going to see. I only know that if it’s on at Woodford than it’s sure to be good. There’s that element of discovery – of finding a fresh new voice, or an artist that hadn’t made it to the public light before. There is also the international program and this year it’s more extensive than ever. On their first Australian tour Babylon Circus, blenders of skapunk, chanson, funk, afrobeat and dancehall reggae, have been zigzagging the globe with their epic and infatuating sonic spectacle. World music sensation Te Vaka are a 12-piece mixed Polynesian cultural group led by Opetaia Foa’a. Their vibrant and unique blend of traditional rhythms and dances, indigenous instruments and global influences makes them the most internationally successful Polynesian world music group in the world. Raised in a musical community between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, Moshav combine powerful rhythms with poignant lyrics, injecting reggae and middle eastern influences and creating an edgy ethnic sound impossible to resist. Described as the French Jeff Buckley and compared to Ben Harper, self described

new program guide as ‘a manufacturer of popfolk-bluesy songs with intellectual pretentions’, Senegal born and raised in France, TeTe sings about universal subjects such as love, modesty, ego, and solitude. Rarely heard outside of France this is Chanson at its best and a unique voice. Sanskriti Shrestha from Nepal has been playing tabla since she was four, now an award winning artist and exquisite dancer she is gaining international acclaim for her music. Woodford Folk Festival tickets can be bought online or at the festival gate. For festival info and tickets go to www. woodfordfolkfestival.com or call 07 5496 1066.

WOMEN MUSICIANS SUPPORTING WOMEN The Women Supporting Women benefit concert at the Blue Birdy on Wednesday features an impressive lineup of super talented femmes, with Lisa Hunt, Sharny Russell, Elizabeth Lord, Nat Carey, Ange, Alicia Dawson and Leigh Carriage. The project is the lovechild of two locals: Graeme Batterbury of Lillian Rock and Wendy Royston of Tyagarah have just returned from a two-month trip to Bihar, in India. Eight years ago in Bodhgaya, the town where the Buddha became enlightened, Graeme met Sandeep Kumar, at that stage 14 years old. Sandeep asked Graeme to help him improve the lot of his village people, who are among the poorest people in India. They set up the Academy of Root Development as a Charitable Trust in 2002 and since that time it has been working in these villages, helping to establish a school and over 125 Self Help Groups (SHG’s) for women. The evening will be an opportunity to see

BYRON BAY COUTURE AT THE BUDDHA BAR ON SATURDAY

the latest photos and film footage of the work in the field and to talk to Graeme and Wendy. There will be an opportunity to sign up and make a regular donation to the project at this time. The event is to be opened by Byron Shire Mayor: Jan Barham. Doors open from 7.30pm.

THE BIGGEST SOUND IN TOWN These days you don’t really hear big bands. These dedicated members of perhaps the area’s only big latin/jazz ensemble, The Big Con Band, won’t hear a bar of it though. They have been rehearsing religiously every week for over a year now, and having opened this year’s Bangalow Jazz Festival, they are planning an end of year Christmas party for the Lismore Conservatorium at the A&I Hall in Bangalow on Saturday that will not only blow your socks off it will fill your Christmas stocking. (Metaphorically at the very least). Their repertoire covers the classique Ellington and Basie sounds,

as well as a few brassy latin and funk instrumental numbers. Special guest vocalists include Gabby Borgardts, Judd Brennand. Bandleader/saxophonist Ken Stubbs cracks the whip on the band, having earned his stripes from the English and European professional jazz circuit. His own CDs are available through ECM, and he relocated here a few years ago. These guys don’t get out much, but when they do, it’s worth the effort. Open your ears and your heart will follow.

a break from the studio for a quick North Coast tour and perform at the Bangalow Hotel on Friday, the Rails on Saturday and Nimbin Hotel on Sunday.

ACAPPELLA GROUPS SINGS FOR WORLD SUPPER It’s that time of year, when all the local acappella choirs gather for their end of year concert. They’ll be raising the roof of the Bangalow Catholic Hall on Sunday at 7.30pm. All your favourite choirs will be there, strutting their vocal chords: Allegro gone Troppo, the Jazz Drops, the Lennox Headliners, Choir Baby and the Peace choir. Tickets are only $15 and $12 at the door, and delicious food will be available, with proceeds going to African L.E.A.F.

GET INTO THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT Nothing gets you more in the mood for Christmas than a few carols. The world’s best composers have penned some unforgettable and nostalgic tunes that are bought together in choral presentation with music from Bach and Arcadelt, to Rutter and Beibl, with some Schubert and Bruckner in for good measure, and a few old-fashioned carols, plus lots more. Many

composers have written a musical setting to Ave Maria, an ancient prayer that has been dated back to the sixth century. Some, such as that written by Schubert were not intended to be used as religious works. But all have become favourites for weddings, funerals, or just relaxing. Hear this and more at All Souls Anglican Church in Bangalow on Saturday at 7.45pm. Tix are $10/8 at the door. Kid are $5

FATHERHOOD DVD The Fatherhood Festival DVD presents a slice of the magic from 2006 when John Butler and Pete Murray and some great local artists like Tommee, Soulman Nathan Kay and Juzzie Smith came and performed for free, kickstarting the expectant fathers groups which run out of Bangalow Community Health Centre and beyond. The DVD features great moments when John Butler, who had a five day old son, had come out for the first time after the birth to perform at the Festival. His birth stories are worth the $19.95 apart from his great music which many people came up and said was the best that they had ever seen him perform. Pete Murray was enchanting with him asking his son Charlie to play drums and then Charlie

getting a shock when the audience applauded – he shot off stage in tears leaving Pete to talk about the first time that he found out that they were going to have Charlie... the shock, the fear and the happy ending. This wonderful DVD is available on www.fatherhoodfestival. com – stay tuned for review in an upcoming issue.

JUMP IN MY CARR Jimmi Carr’s versatility and songwriting depth is so impressive, he has been described as ‘Ben Harper meets Beck’. He is currently on tour with his new album – All The Pieces. This impressive album represents the two sides of Carr, the first CD featuring a rock/post-grunge/funk sound while the second reflects his gentler acoustic folk/roots influences. Carr’s easy ability to cross genres is never more apparent than on this collection. The title track on the first CD sets the mood with solid, driving, get down ‘n dirty riffs. This vein continuing through the savage chorus of Bleed the Earth to Chow Down and the post-grunge Redneck Funk Machine – think Chili Peppers meets Queens of the Stone Age. On the second CD Carr’s delivery on Black Feathers is reminiscent of the emotional

intensity of The Frames’ Glen Hansard, whom he somewhat resembles, a tall Celtic redhead, but there are intriguing hints of the classic singer/songwriters, Paul Simon through Donovan to Cat Stevens, however, Carr stamps his own unique voice and vision throughout. The Jimmi Carr Band is Jimmi Carr Vox, Guitar, Keys, Nick Parkinson on drums, Morgan Lawless on Bass and Chris Wheatley on second guitar. Jimmi plays the Rails on Tuesday 11 December.

BOMBAY SALSA World music award winner Andy Holm is busy finishing off the year with a film score for local film maker Terry Bleakley and is leaving his studio for a few gigs during December. You can hear his global sounds at Bombay Salsa on Friday at the Ocean Shores Shopping Centre from 6pm.

GET WRIGHT BACK Over the past few months local singer songwriter Simon Wright has been strutting his stuff across our fine country. Spending a lot of time in what’s becoming known as Australia’s musical capital, Melbourne. He has taken his good time Byron vibes down to the big smoke to see what he can make of it and things have been rolling very smoothly for the young performer. Since first arriving in Melbourne in July Simon has put together a band featuring some of Melbourne’s finest musicians. This week Simon is back in the Bay and he’s brought with him some of the class that Melbourne town has to offer. Here is your chance to catch the perfect combination of Byron’s inspiration and Melbourne’s finesse live and uncut. Thursday night Simon Wright and

Lecia first played guitar when she saw her older sister playing as a young girl. She stole her sister’s guitar and she has been stealing the show ever since. Lecia has just returned from a tour though the US where she has played New York, Nashville, Texas, San Francisco, Hollywood, New Jersey and Vermont. As a guitarist she has supported the biggest names in the country including Killing Heidi, The Butterfly Effect and Grinspoon. She credits her inspiration to the videos that her step dad played to her as a kid of Jimi Hendrix and Jimmy Page. This girl is a legend in the making. She plays the Chincogan Tavern on Saturday.

sen

She is one of the most loved performers to come out of the Bay. Who could forget the warm and wonderful gigs by Jo Jo Smith – the woman who has a voice like warm honey. Last time she came back for a gig people were packed from ceiling to floor, so get your spot early, because she’s got one of the best voices in the business. You might say that Jo Jo has the Mo Jo. She plays the Blue Birdy on Wednesday 19 December and Thursday where she will be recording a live album. Be part of this very special experience.

After months in the making The Big Joke Comedy Festival is ready to launch. The Big Joke is now in it’s second year, so expect the happening hamlet of Bangalow to come alive from 14 - 17 February 2008. With international headline comics such as Gordon Southern, Julia Morris, Anthony Morgan and Peter Berner, this to be an absolute rip snorter. Considering Gordon Southern is being flown over for the Melbourne Comedy Festival, we are getting first bite of the cherry in Bangalow, because he plays our region before any of the capital cities! Julia Morris is a three time Logie winner and London Time Out’s Comedian of the Year. Peter Berner has had his own satirical comedy show Backberner (commissioned by the ABC for 3 years) and fronts the Einstein Factor. I saw Peter performing at last year’s Melbourne Festival and was blown out by what an amazing comic is. I thought at the time that he would be just the right flavour for the Big Joke: Smart, switched on and satirical. The Big Joke Comedy Festival is sporting 18 shows in venues from the A&I Hall to the Urban to the Bangalow

Pub, that range from free to $37.50, there is something for absolutely everyone! There’s The Village Idiot, the Festival search for the best new comic on the block with $500 up for grabs and a spot on the perpetual Idiot trophy, a burlesque workshop for aspiring dancers & a performance by Australia’s premier showgirl & Nick Cave’s support act: Lola the Vamp. There’s the live filming of Braindate, an interactive comedy dating show on Valentine’s Day that will see if swinging singles hit it off, with My Funny Valentine, a bent brash expose on love and all those marvellous catastrophies with Julia Morris, Amelia Jane Hunter, Vanessa Wagner and more. Amelia Jane Hunter also presents her show: Keith Flipp, the hit of Edinburgh Festival about the hidden twin that emerges every three months to perform a drag show at a local gay bar. Shooting From My Hip Replacement is a performance by local Seniors who present their funny take on life as lead in to their show at Seniors Week later in the year. Funny Kids allows over 20 kids from 8 to 16 a chance to take 3 minutes on stage to share their unique and hysterical world view. Anthony Morgan retired at the peak of his career after performing to over 2000 people at

Melbourne Town Hall. In 2007 he has re-emerged, funnier than ever, taking audiences by storm at Melbourne Comedy Festival this year. He headlines with Gordon Southern and global raconteur Jonathon Atherton in Mad Dogs and Englishman. There is a fascinating ‘In Conversation’ with Big Joke Comics titled ‘The Night I died’ where they confront their comedy demons about stage death. Think Thank Thunk is where we see the Einstein Factor’s Peter Berner go head to head with other comic smarties like Chinese/ Tibetan Nick Sun and Joel Ozborn. Cracked Eggs is the Big Joke Breakfast with 9 of the country’s most impressive emerging women comedians. This year we have a comedy debate that hinges on the very controversial theme: Bigger is Better. Comedians like Brisbane Triple M’s Greg Sullivan, Gordon Southern, Brendan Lovechild, Ellissa Jane Hawke, Nick Sun and Fiona McGary all battle to establish who is the superior team. It’s a standup comedy blood sport at its best. This year the festival includes kids workshops, with kids clowning and cartooning taking place on the Saturday and the Sunday. Funny Faces is a community exhibition running over the Big Joke weekend featuring 100 of the funniest faces from all around the area. Audience members are invited to vote a People’s

All glitterati keep your diaries clear for this Saturday at the Buddha Bar when it plays host to a very glamorous event – Byron Bay Couture. Twenty of the area’s most creative designers have been brought together for this inaugural showcase, displaying the range of modern fashion styles, from timeless to trailblazing, exotic and eco to boho and everything in between!

The Byron Ballet Dance Company present a return season of The Nutcracker, Tchaikovsky’s perennial favourite. This performance promises to be even more spectacular than last year. The cast of over 60 dancers includes young dancers from around the region and professional and ex professional dancers as mentors, choreographers and principals. Witness the Byron Community Centre transform from a Christmas Eve party into a forested glade with snowflakes, dancing and then into a fantasy land of sweets. All of the classic elements are there: a fair maiden, a handsome prince, an eccentric magician, a sugarplum fairy and a snowqueen. Be amazed as the Christmas tree grows to over 7 metres and threatens to burst through the roof of the community centre. This is a wonderful introduction to ballet and classical music for children and a special memory to share with your family. The Nutcracker at the Byron Bay Community Centre on Tuesday and Wednesday (11 & 12 Dec) at 7pm with a matinee on Thursday 13 Dec at 1pm. Adults are $18, Children are $12 and Family is $50.

with Jackie Onassid played along with the likes of DJ Shadow, Roots Manuva, Blackalicious, Scratch Perverts and the list just doesn’t end! Unlike Kid Kenobi and Mc Shureshock I felt Sampology needed to be introduced to highlight that this DJ is making this Saturday an outstanding lineup along with our local faves Nick Taylor and Sara Tonin.

Kid Kenobi hardly needs an introduction and unless you’ve been hiding in Sumatra for the past decade you would know that the rumble next Saturday isn’t an earthquake! Voted the number one DJ in the Technics In The Mix Top 50... gee how many No.1’s are there? He is joined again by the equally sought after MC Shureshock this Friday @ The Backroom. Sampology is an exciting addition to make this nite so bass-heavy, it’ll make the Schoolies’ seem like a mild tremor. Sampology is a member of Vinyl Slingers and used to play with Soma Rasa. Although savvy with scratching he‘s not nerdy about it and says, ‘I am a DJ who throws tracks together first and get my kicks out of rocking a party. It’s hard to describe my style because I am constantly moving around different genres month to month. I will always be a Hip-Hop and Funk DJ at heart but I play Breakbeat, Disco, House, Baltimore Club, Drum and Bass and all the good stuff in between.’ Q: What is Baltimore Club? A: Dance-music made by people that were/are into Hip-Hop for people that like to hear familiar tracks remixed for a club sound.’ Q: Will we hear the rumble of totally funked-up bass? ...and what else? A: ‘Yes and totally random tracks you may not have heard for years making you go, ‘I can’t believe you just played that!’ with driving bass underneath... and good party music that will explode through the system at the Great Northern.’

Q: What vibe will you add to this earthmoving event Nick Taylor? A: ‘A fresh appreciation of freedom!’

Q: Where did you go and what mischief did you get up to when you were a schoolie? A: ‘In the first hour of arriving at the hotel we went door-knocking for random parties and the first door that opened had 10 policemen inside.’ Q: If there would be a guide-toparty for schoolies what would you put in it? A: ‘Drink lots of water, always have a mate close by and don’t have any regrets.’ Q: What gives you the biggest thrill when playing in Byron Bay? A: ‘Local punters showing their support with a big smile on the dancefloor. I genuinely look forward to play in the Northern ‘cos their system is great sounding.’ Having supported Grandmaster Flash and DJ Qbert, Sampology has further

ELSEWHERE has got another tasty weekender lined up too with the weekly Electronic Boogie Show being host to DJs Gareth D and Wongo this week and resident DJ Audun. The nite will show you all what understated electro and minimal disco nouveau can really do to you... Saturday motion:theory offers a live act called Sidechain plus DJs Murray Antill and resident Ben Abrahams blasting the future retro revolution atchya while Sunday Royale and its DJs Snosh, Pete and resident GIV from Toomba Records are crafting the more melodic tech along with new electronic house and bleeps that will give you the bounce needed for your 9-5 week! EXODUS Locals have until this Friday to snap up early-bird tickets for Exodus Live, 11 – 13 January 2008. The tickets are just $120 ($200 on the gate). Take local ID to Fairy Floss (Byron), Psyco (Mullum) or Yami’s (Brunswick Heads) and get yourself a massive discount for Byron’s longest established electronic and live music festival.

1. Jim Jarmusch is the director of Coffee and Cigarettes (SBS, Wednesday 10.30pm), a series of loosely connected vignettes with the likes of Tom Waits, Roberto Benigni, Cate Blanchett, Steve Buscemi and Iggy Pop. 2. The emotionally complex (gentlemen, run for your lives) movie Cold Mountain (Prime, Friday 8.30pm) exploits the acting talents of Nicole Kidman and Jude Law. 3. Best of the week, although at an absurd hour, is Kevin Smith’s Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (Prime, Saturday, 11.30pm). Perhaps not quite on the level of Clerks and Dogma (which feature the same characters) but very funny nonetheless.

TAURUS: Karma’s pretty instant at the moment, but this week helps you bounce back elastically from minor setbacks – so regard all setbacks as minor. Don’t take risks or be rash though – it only raises the likelihood of accidents, wrangles or personality clashes.

10 11

GEMINI: Geminis sometimes have a tendency to tell themselves everything’s ďŹ ne when that mightn’t totally be the case. This week’s hardest but most helpful word is listen. All feedback – even from people you vehemently disagree with, is ultimately instructive.

The Simpsons Movie Premonition License to Wed This Is England The Business High School Musical 2 After The Wedding

CANCER: The way to get the affection you want is to frankly (since this is the month of naked truth) seduce people with humour: the outstandingly entertaining, ruthlessly funny Cancerian kind – which also helps you tune into the amusing side of this week’s little contretemps.

ARIES: If people wafe on incessantly this week and you disagree or could care less, best not let them know or the ensuing debate could take all day. Instead of fretting, use the time productively by smiling politely and mentally ďŹ ne tuning your Christmas list.

LEO: There’s plenty to argue about this week, but why bother because who’s listening – they’re all too busy talking. Forget trying to convince anyone of anything and let them come to you. This is a powerfully romantic transit for attached Leos, and a loving one for singles.

LIBRA: With December’s focus in your 3rd house of networking, education and travel, it’s an especially Libra friendly month. Conicting pressures are operating, but so are workable solutions – and being generous will actually make your learning curves less expensive. SCORPIO: This week needs careful appraisal and a realistic outlook. A strong vision’s excellent, but more essential is seeing things as they are rather than insisting on them being the way you want. If you can’t have what you love, how about loving what you’ve got? SAGITTARIUS: You might ďŹ nd this week’s attitude pretty hardline about anything that’s outlived its usefulness, that needs replacing, adjusting or changing. There’s not likely to be much room for sentiment – only for what works. Which may require an upgrade in your thinking‌

CAPRICORN: Graceful disengagement’s the primary survival skill this week, which is over-supplied with those who think they know how to run the universe telling you – a Capricorn! – about that at length. Don’t they know you know best? Guess they’re about to ďŹ nd out. AQUARIUS: This week’s birthday writer C.S. Lewis noted that most people see the future as a promised land, rather than something that’s happening sixty minutes every hour‌ Aquarians like spontaneity, but waiting till the last mad frantic minute to holiday-plan really isn’t the most stress free strategy. PISCES: This is a lively, dynamic, supercharged time for the Pisces tribe, with December a busy month of business dealings and contacts with professionally helpful people. Though you’ll need to withdraw and plug into your creative source for a recharge whenever it gets too much.

Immediately after his elimination from the 2007 World Cup in Khanty Mansinsk at the hands of Magnus Carlsen, Australia’s Zhao Zong Yuan (pictured below) was ushered into the VIP room to give his first press conference. Expecting to be questioned on how he felt he had played against the teenage genius from Norway, Zhao was stunned to be asked by the Russian press corps: ‘I understand you were very interested in the outcome

of the Australian election yesterday. Do you think that this adversely affected your play?’ Zhao could have said something about the -25 degree temperatures in Siberia not being a positive for a Coffs Harbour boy, but instead his reply managed to put Kevin Rudd’s victory into proper perspective. ‘No. Compared to being here at the World Cup and playing Carlsen, the election didn’t matter.’ Zhao’s exit from the World Cup after only two days was a disappointment, especially since he had Carlsen under considerable pressure in the first game of their match before blundering away the game in

severe time trouble. Needing a win in the second game to send the match into tie-breakers, Zhao took too many risks and fell to a second defeat, given below. Zhao was lavish in his praise of Carlsen. ‘It was incredible analysing with Carlsen after the games. He is an absolute genius; I was amazed by the possibilities he saw.’ The Carlsen camp was also impressed with the Australian number one, describing him as ‘likeable’, ‘clearly underrated’ and ‘more than ready to play for his grandmaster title in Europe this winter’. Khanty Mansinsk 2007 White: M Carlsen Black: Zhao Zong Yuan Opening: Bogo-Indian Defence 1.Nf3 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.d4 Bb4+ 4.Bd2 Qe7 5.g3 Nc6 6.Nc3 Bxc3 7.Bxc3 Ne4 8.Qc2 Nxc3 9.Qxc3 0-0 10.Bg2 d6

Under normal circumstances Zhao would have played 10...Qb4 against Carlsen’s innocuous opening but, with a draw equivalent to a loss due to the match standings, Black must keep the game complicated. 11.d5 Nb8 12.0-0 e5 13.c5!

Refresh your looks for summer

Dr Craig Layt’s Restore Rejuvenate Respect, dedicated to rejuvenating you. Anti-ageing treatments have become very popular among both men and women of all ages in today’s society. With current technologies, there are a lot of treatments which can improve and maintain that healthy, fresh and vibrant appearance in a subtle yet effective way. Non-surgical procedures and products such as medical strength microdermabrasion, anti-ageing injections, dermal fillers, IPL, medical strength chemical peels, Thermage (a skin tightening and contouring treatment), skincare programs that contain Vitamins A and C, skincare makeup and advice can help achieve that fresher image. Conditions such as pigmentation, broken capillaries and blemishes, excess hair, and generally poor skin texture, can be treated with IPL. Anti-ageing injections address wrinkles on the forehead, sides of the eyes and between the eyebrows which are often caused by frowning, squinting and smiling. Local paramedical aesthetician Jodi Gibbs consults in Ballina on an individual basis and designs treatments and products

specifically for each person. Please contact our Benowa office to make an appointment in Ballina. Phone 1300 677 763.

This reminded me of the primary maxim delivered in ďŹ rst lecture on the ďŹ rst day of Chiropractic College; Structure Governs Function. In chiropractic we view the body as an integrated whole.

BEOWULF

BEOWULF The new buzz term (after ‘bellwether’) is ‘performance capture.’ It’s how director Robert Zemeckis describes his computer driven technique for making his actors look like cartoon human beings, with a weird sort of hyper reality that gives the impression that they have just walked out of a Shrek movie. For lovers of the green ogre’s icks who are also keen on ultra action with a touch of soft porn to ice the cake, this is about as good as it gets. It opens in Denmark, 507 AD. It’s a happening place, with the boys getting plastered on mead and enjoying some robust wenching. But Grendel, the most hideous monster you have ever seen, crashes the party and terrorises the subjects of raucous King Hrothgar (Anthony Hopkins). On a dark and stormy night, Beowulf arrives from across

the sea as saviour. Sure enough, he kills the monster after a humungous battle which is possibly unique in cinematic history, for he does it entirely in the nude, without his dick being seen from any angle. Grendel’s mother (Angelina Jolie) swears vengeance. She rises, also sans attire, from a luminous subterranean lake and Beowulf, agog at her shimmering protuberances, foolishly beds her, as they say. In the process he makes a Faustian deal that will come back to bite him when he is grey and feeling his age upon him. The hinted at psychological questions confronting Beowulf by this stage are unable to be properly explored because Zemeckis’s ‘performance capture,’ so successful at producing the 3D effect to which the eye becomes quickly adjusted, has lost its novelty and is exposed as a dead loss when emotion is called for. As

the eponymous, boastful warrior, Ray Winstone is unrecognisable. More comfortable with geezers in the East End, he is able to engage in only a superďŹ cial manner with his character’s understanding of himself as a man of destiny (one of Hollywood’s favourite archetypes). There is, too, the self-awareness of myth creation, the Freudian subtext at the end and the provocative dismissal of Christianity for its ‘weeping martyrs’ as opposed to the cult of the omnipotent hero. But all of that’s a cerebral no-go area for what is basically a slaughter fest, with Beowulf’s last big ďŹ ght with the golden dragon a ball tearer. Better than 300 but just as forgettable. ~ John Campbell

IRINA PALM Dowdy Maggie has a critically ill grandson whose chance of survival lies in a treatment that is available only in Australia. The family is broke, with no means of raising the money for the trip from England. As a last resort, Maggie secretly accepts the position of ‘hostess’ in a Soho sex club. The job entails sitting in a tiny room and wanking blokes one after the other as they stick their members through a hole in the wall. Maggie is as shocked as she is embarrassed but, after co-worker Louisa has provided a demo, she adapts to her task and (ahem) pulls it off to a nicety. Before long, with the stage name of Irina Palm, she is known for giving the best hand in London and, so much in demand is she, Maggie even succumbs to penis elbow.

judgement of those who work in the club. Nor does it offend the audience with anything visually explicit, though there is a scene shot from the other side of the wall that dispels any sense of cuteness that the general mood may have been encouraging. The bleakness of Maggie’s situation is lifted by the realisation that, condone it or not, for her the experience is a liberation. Her friends and family, when they ďŹ nd out, prove that compassion does not always follow understanding, but Maggie’s resolve does not waver. Marianne Faithful, in the title role, is not really much of an actress – in fact, she may very well have produced the best non-acting performance of the year with her minimalist portrayal of the sad, desperate but determined woman. It’s all in her world weary halfsmile and the brown eyes that are still singing As Tears Go By. Opposite her, Miki Manojlovic is terriďŹ c as the club owner, a migrant from Eastern Europe who is unrepentant about what he does for a living – ‘I hate to be poor.’ In accordance with keeping his dealings with Maggie purely ďŹ scal, his pragmatism leads him to sample Irina’s magic for himself. It doesn’t gel at all when she is upset by Mikky’s mercenary attitude to their relationship – what else could she possibly have expected? – but it is not only Maggie whose life is changing in this heart warming, uncomplicated ‘go girl’ story for grown ups. ~ John Campbell

ATE PHAT DUCKS Eight women set off on a food trail around northern NSW, eating and drinking and bonding and, ultimately, pouring all their experiences into a gorgeously presented book entitled ‘Ate Phat Ducks’. It all began one afternoon in 2005 when the women met at a local restaurant to celebrate a friend’s birthday; ďŹ ve hours and seven bottles later they decided to make it a monthly event, trying out a new restaurant every time. The launch, MC-ed by Mandy Nolan (who endeared us all by opening her speech with the comment that there is nothing sexier than a woman who eats) was held on November 22 at The Point restaurant, Ramada Riverside in Ballina, and attracted a huge crowd, among them nearly every chef mentioned in the book. The brainchild of Remy Tancred, the book is beautifully photographed by Fran Flynn from Frangipani Marketing, consists of restaurant proďŹ les and recipes, and would make a superb Christmas gift. It is available at Byron Newsagency, Book City Byron and Mary Ryan’s ABC Shop or online www.atephatducks.com

Victoria Cosford It was a quite magniďŹ cent Sunday lunch. At one end of the ample deck stood Luke Southwood systematically adding ingredients to the enormous pan of paella, while all around the forty-odd guests mingled with drinks, fertile Federal countryside below and the huge wooden Balinese-style house full of cool corners holding back the midday heat. And after that it was a simple matter of ďŹ ling up to have plates ďŹ lled with a tumble of saffron-gold seafood-studded rice before arranging ourselves around long tables whose centrepieces were big bowls of salad. There were local king prawns and mussels and calamari and chorizo and chicken and a glorious undercurrent of lemon – and there were our hosts, cucumber-cool while several pretty young things in black ensured the seamless ow. Paella is great group food, a perfect party meal – although the hiring of a chef whose specialty it is and who owns the appropriate equipment is the obvious way to go. Its origins are Valencia in Spain, the name deriving from the word for the wide at pan in which it is cooked: the Latin ‘patella’. Its three chief ingredients are rice, saffron and olive oil and its various versions are multiple – and yet, like so many dishes, it started out as poor man’s fare and a way of using up whatever ingredients were at hand. To this day – so suited it is to catering for large numbers – an enormous paella will be cooked in Spanish villages on festival days, enough to feed everybody. It is a dish which begins with the meat stir-fried in olive oil, followed by whatever vegetables are to be used, then water, and when a satisfactory broth has resulted the rice is added – ideally a medium-grain rice, which will absorb the liquid. Long before I discovered paella I had become almost blase about its Creole interpretation, Jambalaya. My mother would serve this, generally upon request, for special occasions like birthdays; our whole family adored it. The ingredients are almost identical, with rice the star supporting a colourful medley of meat, seafood, chicken and vegetables; the most distinctive difference is the fact that the rice is added together with the stock at the very end, when all the rest is cooked. Jambalaya, which started out in the French Quarter of New Orleans, was in fact an attempt by the Spanish to recreate paella in the New World, where saffron, not being readily available, had to be substituted with tomatoes. Again, what ended up as part of this dish depended on what was to be found in Lousiana’s rural swamp country – and so there might have been alligator, venison, turtle, oysters and boar. Then there is Risotto. (I am omitting Pilafs, Polos, Biriyanis and all the other rice-based dishes to dizzy our palates...) Similar in the sense that it may constitute an entire meal all made in the one pot – although Italians eat it as a ‘primo’ as they do pasta, preceding the main event – it is however distinguished by the fact that the rice is ďŹ rst toasted in olive oil before beginning its 20 to 30-odd minute journey of brothand-avouring-absorption toward completion. Properly made risotto is a sadly rare occurrence and you cannot necessarily rely on restaurants, especially those whose high turnovers demand that it be par-cooked. That slightly chewy unmushy quality to grains of rice into whose gradual swelling has penetrated all the essences of the added ingredients – still somehow managing to leave the grains intact – now that requires a skill borne of practice and patience. And the steady regular stir of a strong arm while the Sunday lunchers amuse themselves.

Cornish defeated Rebecca Woods (AUS), and Rosanne Hodge (ZAF).

Cornish scored a point total of 13.77 moving her toward the final which was a hard fought contest between Samantha, Australian’s Amee Donohue and Jessi Miley-Dyer and Peruvian Sofia Mulanovich, the former World Champion, who in the end beat all three the Aussies in the fourwoman final.

North Coast Area Health Service (NCAHS) is urging community members to become local walking leaders in its latest effort to promote the social, environmental and health beneďŹ ts of walking. Under an initiative with support from the National Heart Foundation, NCAHS is starting up a number of new walking groups across the North Coast. According to Jillian Adams, Nutrition & Physical Activity Coordinator of NCAHS, ‘Walking in groups is a great way to make new friends and get to know your neighbours. Walking is easier on the body than most physical activities, so is suitable for people who are overweight, elderly or those who haven’t exercised in a long time.

‘Walking is free, can be done at any time of day and can be performed at your own pace and is a great social form of physical activity. ‘Regular walking can help lose body fat, maintain a healthy weight, improve ďŹ tness and reduce your risk of developing conditions such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis and some cancers.’ If you would like to join a group, or start your own group call the National Heart Foundation on 1300 (www.heartfoundation.org. au). If joining a group doesn’t suit you, ďŹ nd a buddy to walk with every day or buy a pedometer and see if you can increase the number of steps you take in a day (www.10000steps.org.au).

Pap smear every two years reduces incidence of cervical cancer, says NRGPN By increasing the number of women having a Pap smear every two years, the Northern Rivers General Practice Network hopes to reduce the incidence of cervical cancer in the region. ‘In up to 90% of cases, two-yearly Pap smears can prevent the most common form of cervical cancer,’ said Dr Dan Ewald, spokesman for the division. ‘Having a Pap smear every two years can pick up early changes to the cervix, which allows closer monitoring of such changes and earlier intervention if needed.’ The biggest risk factor in cervical cancer is not being screened every two years. Three out of four women who develop cervical cancer have either never had a Pap smear or haven’t had one in the past ďŹ ve years. ‘In this area, 65% of women aged 18-69 have had their two-yearly Pap smear. We hope to improve on this and it would be wonderful if all women in this age group were having their Pap smears every two years,’ Dan said. Since the national cervical screening program started in 1991, new cases of cervical cancer have fallen from 1,091 diagnosed in 1991 to 725 diagnosed in 2003. ‘Women who have been vaccinated with the new cervical cancer vaccine Gardasil will still need to have regular Pap smears because the vaccine only protects against four of the most common virus types that are known to cause cervical cancer, so it does not prevent all cervical can-

cers,’ Dan said. Having a Pap smear can be combined with a broader well women’s check that might include checking menstrual cycle, contraception and sexual history, discussing continence and menopause issues if relevant. The NRGPN has employed registered nurse Jan Ousby to provide a women’s health check at a number of participating local general practices so that they can offer these women’s health services. She also offers training and support to existing practice nurses. ‘All GPs can provide Pap smear checks, however sometimes women prefer to see a different practitioner or a female practitioner just for this service,’ Dan said. As well as Jan’s well women clinics, there are also 16 nurses in other local general practices who are qualiďŹ ed to do Pap smears with more nurses interested in completing the required training. Other services that offer Pap smears to women include local community health centres, Lismore Family Planning Clinic, Women’s Health Matters in Lismore, which specialises in older women’s issues, and gynaecologists. A Pap smear every two years can prevent the most common form of cervical cancer in up to 90% of cases. Three out of four women who develop cervical cancer have either never had a Pap smear or haven’t had one in the past ďŹ ve years.

Main Arm students from Years 3-6 have presented more of their creative talents by dreaming up some amazing stories. As part of a specially funded writing extension program the students have written and illustrated their own children’s books. They have created every type of tale imaginable. From a boy called Wally who wanted a whale as a pet through to a surfer who was

taken to an underworld kingdom. Their wild imaginations saw other students write about a gang of cats who built a junkyard city while others loved exploring a couple of monsters called Gizmo & Mog. They even conjured up a boy called Dud who invented a pair of boots to bounce himself to the moon. Other writing extension activities at Main Arm

School have included an animation project and scriptwriting of their major film project which the students then produce for the big screen. Throughout the year, Main Arm School has continually showcased their students’ creative talents through various programs like the popular Art Show, the school’s film project, theatre sports and craft and gardening days.

We hope it’s good news for the north coast that Kevin Rudd has picked Justine Elliot to be his minister for ageing. You can be sure Baby Boomers will be in her ear as they contemplate the lack of retirement village places. Q Q Q Q The next task for Kevin Rudd is to learn to stop talking in such a beige manner, like he was still running for office. Lacking the wit of Whitlam, Kev could study the plain speak of Chifley or Curtin to see how real people do it. Meanwhile the Liberal Party has disappeared up its own rectum, electing leaders who make Howard look like a cool guy. Q Q Q Q Speaking of politics, Mungo MacCallum will shortly launch his latest book, Poll Dancing: The Story of the 2002 Election, the perfect Christmas gift for your Liberal Party friends. Watch out for it in bookshops soonish. Q Q Q Q And now for something completely different: join the Federal Film Club for a night under the stars watching classic Monty Python. On Saturday December 8 bring your rug and a picnic or enjoy the barbecue as you watch Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Set yourself up from 6.30pm onwards. The night includes prizes for the best dressed character – human or otherwise – from the film. Members get in free, with a suggested donation of $5 for non-members. Enquiries 6684 9313. We demand a shrubbery! Q Q Q Q Seen on Shirley Street, Byron Bay: a homeless gentleman wheeling his belongings in a shopping

trolley being overtaken on either side by schoolies with shopping trolleys full of booze. The great trolley migration has begun, not to mention the rubbishing of the beachfront. Q Q Q Q Class act of the week goes to the childcare business V & K Holdings which sacked one of its underpaid workers by SMS. The Workplace Ombudsman caned them $16K for that offence. If you feel you’re being hard done by in the workplace, check out www.wo.gov.au or call 1300 724 200. Q Q Q Q Here’s a worthwhile cause: ‘Save The Brisbane Multicultural Arts Centre’ which had has its funding cut by Arts Queensland. You can sign the petition at www. thepetitionsite.com/2/savethe-brisbane-multiculturalart-centre and find out more at www.bemac.org. au. Q Q Q Q Human identity has always been a vexed subject, no matter how church or state might try to constrain it.

Software company Symantec has surveyed cyberpunters about their online identities and found: Australians typically have more than ten online profiles or ‘virtual

identities’; 20 percent of Australians believe that their online identities are closer to their ‘true self’ than their real-world identity; and 77 percent of Australians believe that people share more information about themselves online, than they do in the real world. Kinda sad, but it’s probably the same loss of inhibition which accompanied a masked ball in Venice. Q Q Q Q ‘To a man travelling on his wits a newspaper was a useful treasure. Stuck down your shirt, it kept the wind off your chest.You could use it to light fires. For the fastidious, it saved a daily resort to dockweed, burdock or other broad-leaved plants. And, as a last resort, you could read it.’ – Terry Pratchett, Making Money. See more about Pratchett at www.terrypratchettbooks. com.
