Dumb gets dumber and dangerous in wild weather Story & photo Jann Gilbert While it may have put a bit of a dampener on New Years Eve celebrations the wild weather that has been lashing the north coast has caused more than a few headaches for local lifeguards, marine and SES personnel. A brief glimpse of sunshine on Wednesday brought people ﬂocking to Main Beach where, in the space of 30 minutes, lifeguards were required to help four people from the water who were being swept down the beach by the strong side-sweeping current. They also rescued another man who was swept from The Pass to Clarkes Beach. A young local girl who alerted lifeguards to his predicament spotted the man, a holidaymaker who could not swim. The man was subsequently rescued and ambulance ofﬁcers attended. Apart from suffering exhaustion, the man escaped unscathed and hopefully wiser.

The Lifesaver 4 helicopter and the Surf Club rescue jet ski were also called into action on Wednesday when a 000 caller reported a possible sighting of someone in trouble off the Cape. Despite an hour-long search there was no sign of anyone in the water and the search was called off. Steve Leahy, Northern NSW Lifeguard Coordinator with Surf Life Saving NSW, says, ‘Most people are smart enough to stay out of the water or swim between the ﬂags and not go out too far in conditions like this but there’s always a small percentage who seem to think they’re invincible.’ Senior Lifeguard, Al Mactier, agrees. ‘Our greatest concern in these conditions is with beginner surfers on hire boards or novice bodyboard riders. I’ve seen so many guys get into the water out the front here and within seconds they’re on an expressway to The Wreck in a huge swell and they’ve

got no idea how to get back in.’ Steve and Al would both like to see more responsible practices from board hire operators such as a no-hire policy when conditions are dangerous, and more water safety and local conditions information for people hiring boards. ‘Prevention is important,’ says Al. ‘If we can educate people on where to swim or surf then obviously there’s less rescue work involved, which is safer for everyone.’ Beachgoers who ignore warnings about the dangerous conditions also cause additional and unnecessary stress for lifeguards, not to mention putting their own lives and the lives of others at risk. ‘On one of the worst days over the past week the Lifeguard at Suffolk Park warned a family of two adults and ﬁve children that the beach was closed due to treacherous conditions,’ says Steve. ‘Despite repeated warnings they continued on page 2

Chief Log Yard Steward Colin Watson contemplates sorting and stacking 80 tonnes of woodchop logs at Brunswick Heads.

Story & photo Eve Jeffery Colin Watson loves the Brunswick Heads Woodchop. In 1966 in the event’s ﬁfth year, Colin started as a 16 year old lad helping out in the ring, picking up wood chips after the races. He has been involved in the chop every year since and is a Life Member, who 15 years ago became Chief Log Yard Steward. Colin, who lives in Ocean Shores, started preparing for the chop in mid December and will continue until the end of January when, after the event, he will dress the area with topsoil, re-seed and feed and water the new grass until it

returns to the condition it was in before the logs arrived. Last week four 20 tonne trucks loads of sized poplar logs were delivered to Banner Park in Brunswick Heads in preparation for this year’s Fish and Chips Festival, and Colin and his team of six set to work sorting and stacking the logs, a job that takes about four days. Each of the 34 races has a speciﬁc sized log and there are few spares, so Colin and his crew have to make sure they get it right when they are processing the load. The smallest logs are 250mm and the continued on page 2

refused to leave the water and when approached by the lifeguard again they simply got out and moved 50 metres up the beach before re-entering the water. That’s just irresponsible and dangerous behaviour.’ Lifeguards also want to remind people (particularly tourists) to take all rubbish with them off the beach. ‘Cigarette butts are a major problem,’ says Al. ‘If you have to bring cigarettes to the beach then bring a “Bin-ya-Butt” or

largest sawing logs are 375mm. In the two weeks leadup to the event, from the time the logs are delivered until the competition days, it is Colin’s responsibility to water and maintain the logs. ‘If the logs are left out in the sun they will dry out. If that happens they get really hard and the axemen start complaining that they are too hard to cut. ‘So the idea is to keep them moist so that all the sap that is inside the log stays inside the log. All the rain we are having is actually a great help to me as it saves time and money as I don’t need to water.’ During the four day com-

other container with you so that there’s no butts left behind.’ While lifeguards have been kept busy on beaches, publicity ofﬁcer for the Marine Radio Base at Brunswick Heads, Penny Fuller, reported that although conditions had been extremely dangerous there had only been one reported rescue of a surf skier who was swept out to sea. ‘Thankfully most people are sensible enough to stay out of the water in conditions

like this, which is just as well because there’s been a number of occasions in the past few days when we would have had no hope of getting the rescue boat across the bar.’ SES personnel have also been kept busy dealing with the hazards caused by ﬂooding to the west of the region. Noel McAviney, Local Controller with Byron Shire SES, reported that the majority of callouts involved 4-wheel drive vehicles that had become stuck in flooded creeks and causeways.

‘Driving through ﬂoodwater is extremely dangerous,’ says Noel. ‘So far there’s been no-one injured but in the worst of the incidents a 4-wheel drive was lost although, thankfully, the four occupants were brought to safety before the vehicle went under.’ Noel recommends that if you are heading out make sure you check conditions before you leave and don’t attempt to get through ﬂoodwater even if you are in a 4-wheel drive.

petition over 100 axemen and women will cut into around 1500 logs and Colin puts in 17 hour days, maintaining the log yard and the spectators area and clearing away the debris from the races which is reused as ﬁrewood. As well as organising the logs for each of the races, Colin then plays the part of

destiny. Through a system of selection similar to a lottery, Colin randomly draws marbles from a tin and allocates the logs for each race, and yes, there have been protests and he has even had competitors try to bribe him for a better log. ‘One year before the semiﬁnal of a race worth $1000, a bloke tried to slip me a ﬁfty

to change the logs for a whole race, but I wouldn’t be in it and he wasn’t very happy,’ said Colin. The woodchop arena is next to the Housie shed in Brunswick Heads. Wood chopping starts on the morning of Wednesday January 16 and events will be completed on the following Saturday.

A brief update on Mallams sale to Woolies Further to our story last week on the sale of Mallams to Woolworths, the two companies last Thursday released a joint statement. It covered much of the same ground as our story. In the statement John Mallam and John Waterhouse of the Mallam Group

said, ‘After nearly 100 years, this is the end of an era for the Mallam family in Mullumbimby but we are very conﬁdent that the agreement with Woolworths is in the best long term interests of our loyal staff members and customers.’ Ralph Kemmler, General

Manager Property for Woolworths, said, ‘We have enormous respect for the Mallam Group. They have a strong heritage in Mullumbimby and have built an excellent business based on great service and staff wellbeing.Woolworths looks forward to upholding these values.’

Open drain puts toddler in danger Story & photo Eve Jeffery We must wonder at times what part chance plays in out lives as every year too many toddlers die in freakish accidents.We are shocked when we hear of such sadness. Ocean Shores resident and mother of two Donna Teeling is still holding her breath after an incident that, if not for an unexpected visit from her father-in-law, may have ended in tragedy. Last Thursday when Steven Keen popped over to borrow some jumper leads, he hadn’t intended on visiting his 18 month old grand daughter Zoe, but when he saw a ﬂash of pink streak across the backyard in the pouring rain he knew something was amiss. A shocked Mrs Teeling said that as she came through the back door with an armload of laundry, her toddler ran out into the yard toward the drain which was gushing down the hill about 30 centimetres deep during the downpour. It was only her grandfather’s quick thinking that saved Zoe from drowning in the uncovered drain into which she fell. He raced across the yard and plucked the toddler, sodden and hysterical, from the deluge of oncoming water. When Donna moved into the Ocean Shores home which backs onto the new service road, an ATF (Australian Temporary Fencing) barricade was in already in place along the perimeter of her property as it abutted the sound protection wall, at the base of which is the stormwater drain. Eighteen months ago when Donna was told by the Abigroup that the fence would be removed, she voiced her concerns about the safety of the open drain. Donna says Abigroup representative Wendy Dooley inspected the drain from the front yard of the house and said it was safe, and she

heard nothing more from the company until the Thursday before Christmas, when she was told that the fence would be removed at some during the following week. Mrs Teeling immediately tried to contact Abigroup but felt that she was being given the ‘brushoff’ because she was a tenant and not the property owner. The only response she received was an SMS message from Mrs Dooley saying, ‘ATF tempo-

rary fencing will be removed by Monday. Owner is aware. Abigroup is not responsible for installing another fence on this property.’ Donna says she didn’t necessarily want a fence on her property, she simply wanted the open drain covered. The next day, four days before Christmas, a contractor arrived and took the fence away leaving the drain accessible not only to Donna‘s children but also to

other kids who use it as a short cut. After her daughter’s fall Mrs Teeling made several attempts to speak to Abigroup but got no reply to her messages. The Echo also tried unsuccessfully to contact the company. Mrs Teeling received a call from an Abigroup represenative Friday afternoon, and she said that their reaction to the news of her child’s accident was one of impassive silence, but they did suggest that even though the drain complied with safety regulations, they would erect another temporary fence. When Mrs Dooley contacted The Echo late Friday she said that even though it wasn’t their property, Abigroup would see to it that there is a fence erected as soon as possible. ‘We are responsible for the drain on behalf of the RTA,’ said Mrs Dooley. ‘We have a ten year maintenance contract for the work but according to our engineer the drain was made to the correct speciﬁcations. We will send a maintenance contractor out who will assess the situation and he will decide if it warrants any further action. ‘Wherever possible we try to solve these problems, and this is another case of us just trying to help out.’ Hero of the day grandpa Keen says that he is happy to resolve the issue. ‘I’m a builder,’ he said. ‘I’ll back up a truck with ten tonne of cement in it, that should ﬁx it.’

SDA op shop hands out $55,000 The Mullumbimby SeventhDay Adventist Op Shop provides a remarkable service to the community. At the end of last year Op Shop volunteers handed out a total of $40,000 in donations to eight community organisations. The recipients were Mullumbimby Bush

Fire Brigade, Main Arm Bush Fire Br igade, Brunswick SLSC, Brunswick Valley Rescue Squad, Brunswick Animal Welfare League, Amatayus Hospice, Hope Haven Women’s Refuge and Westpac Life Saver Rescue Helicopter. Earlier in the year $15,000

was donated to an African orphanage, bringing the Op Shop’s total contributions for 2007 to $55,000. Recycling at its best: secondhand clothes are contr ibuted by the community and sold back to the community; proceeds donated to the community.

Carnies return to the seaside Story & photo Eve Jeffery On Australia Day 1960 at the end of his ﬁfth season working the carnival at Brunswick Heads, Noel McGregor was sitting with some mates at the pub, when the idea was born to bring a woodchop along with the carnival. Noel had worked as an ofﬁcial at the Brisbane show woodchop and thought Brunswick Heads the ideal place to hold a competition. The next year 27 axemen competed in the inaugural event at Banner Park, and each year since, the carnival and the chop have gone hand in hand as the foremost source of entertainment on the Brunswick Heads calendar. The McGregor family have been in ‘show business’ since Noel and his bride Betty, a third generation carnival operator, took over from her parents. The newlywed couple continued a tradition started when Betty’s great grandparents came to Australia from England, bringing with them a horse drawn merry-go-round. This year the family, which is based in Brisbane, is celebrating its 53rd year in Bruns, and even though the inclement weather has allowed only a handful of operating days in the three weeks the carnival has been open, they just love it here and say that this wet patch will not keep them away. Noel says he can’t remember the conditions ever being like this in the past, though they have survived cyclones and even a mini tornado

which in 1964 blew the place apart, ﬂinging equipment in every direction. Glen was a little tacker when that happened, but he remembers it well. ‘We still haven’t found bits of some of the rides,’ he says with a laugh. 2008 is Glen’s ﬁftieth year working the carnival – the annual trip he and sister Leann have not missed once since they were born, and one to which each year they have brought their own children. Glen’s son 21 year old Joshua is carrying the banner forward and will be one of the next generation to continue the show. The carnival does travel to other parts of the country, and makes it as far north as Bamaga on the tip of Cape York, but as Glen spends

only about three weeks a year at his house in Brisbane, Brunswick Heads is the family’s holiday together in their home away from home for almost two months, and they enjoy seeing the same faces returning year after year. As well as the woodchop the McGregor family has always supported the town that supports them, and they are generous contributors to the coffers of both the Brunswick Valley Rescue Squad and the Brunswick Surf Life Saving Club. Noel and Glen both agree that coming to Brunswick Heads is the highlight of their year. ‘We really look forward to coming down here. We start getting excited and begin making plans about August.

We can’t wait to get here,’ says Glen. Even though Noel at 76, and Betty are retired, they still join the rest of the clan in Brunswick Heads every year. ‘We love coming to Bruns,’ says Noel ‘It’s like coming home to family.’ The Fish and Chips Festival opens with a huge ﬁreworks display on Saturday at 9pm. The carnival is open from 6.30pm until 10pm daily until Australia Day.

Local nightclub Cheeky Monkeys has kicked off the new year with a commitment to reducing its carbon footpr int. Propr ietor Monique Phillips claimed that Cheeky’s was the ‘ﬁrst nightclub in Australia to become carbon neutral’. ‘The venue and all associated activities such as promotions, travel, vehicles, printing, power, rubbish management and gas had its annual carbon emissions calculated at 225 tonnes (114 tonnes of this is electricity),’ says Monique. ‘To offset this we’ve invested with the carbon trading network, Cool Planet, and purchased carbon credits in their approved projects.’ The projects include programs to cut agricultural emissions in Brazil, Mexico and North America, and

programs in Australia that address landfill methane ﬂaring. ‘The agricultural emissions programs captures methane from manure lagoons at farms and the methane is burnt as a renewable energy stream. With the landﬁll projects, instead of letting the gas escape into

the atmosphere, it’s captured and burnt to create an energy source, which also reduces odour and smog. On an annual basis this investment is not much to absorb, and it’s certainly viewed as a valuable investment by the management, staff and patrons of the venue,’ says Monique.

Personally, Monique, like many people, faces the dilemma of running a business and a life that leaves its mark on an already stressed planet. ‘Every day I still have to drive the kids to school, feed the family, make a dollar, pay the mortgage, run a business… That inner debate led me to evaluate and invest in carbon offsetting. ‘We already have local campaigns within the promotions and operations of the venue that ask patrons to “Respect The Bay”. But on a larger scale we feel that we’re contributing to a global campaign through an international network that we host under our roof every night. Our business has the power to make a difference. This is our New Years Resolution.’

Carbon trading possibilities down the track, says SCU researcher

Colour/Cut $99 (Full head of foils extra $10)

Future roles for the Australian rail industry in emissions trading schemes are under investigation by Southern Cross University researcher and lecturer Scott Niblock. Scott, who also lectures in ﬁnance at the Tweed Gold Coast campus, is analysing the scheme already operating within the European Union, assessing submis-

sions to the Australian Government’s National Emissions Trading Taskforce and interviewing Australian rail industry representatives as part of his research, which is being conducted in conjunction with the University of South Australia and funded by the national Rail CRC. ‘Australia does not yet have a national emissions

trading scheme so the time to do this research is now,’ Scott said. ‘Hopefully my data will help the rail industry to take a leadership role at a pivotal time, well informed about the possibilities and threats of future carbon trading. ‘All modes of transport – private and public – account for 15 per cent of Australia’s

greenhouse gas emissions. All the attention so far has been on the airlines and road users, which have been shown to be the bigger carbon emitters. If you consider that rail is already an efficient operator then there could be financial benefits in the industry participating in a future scheme as a seller of credits.’

Working with the kids in Timor Leste David Miller After a refreshing stop in Bali, I recently visited East Timor to re-connect with Isa Bradridge and the orphanage Familia Hope, situated outside the hill town of Gleno. In the three years since my first visit to Timor Leste, as the people call their country, it is apparent how far they have come, but also how really underdeveloped this tough and tiny country (Australia’s closest neighbour) remains. The flight from Bali with Merpati airlines took 90 minutes across a sea studded with so many coral-fringed islands as to make the inner yachtsman yearn to be down there in the turquoise seas, exploring. After landing at Dili, it was a relief to leave the sweltering and poorly maintained capital for a slow drive up the steep potholed road to Gleno. We passed a truck driver who had been stopped by police, who were punishing him with enforced pushups on the roadside. There is little money to pay fines. The orphanage is a further ten minutes drive past the outskirts of the town. The countryside is reminiscent of our own Main Arm Valley with expansive vistas into distant forests across a sweeping valley, scattered with many tall slenderbranched African trees, planted during the Portuguese occupation many years ago to protect their coffee crop. The 25 kids in the orphanage lost their parents during the struggle for independence in 1999. Some of these were killed in front of these children’s own eyes. One, Moses, has a machete scar across his forehead. A visible reminder of these times issues from the many ruined houses and villages still everywhere around, choked by huge spiky weeds, unusable to this day. With the love and faith of

Dr David Miller with some of the local children.

Isa the Aussie, his Timorese wife Ina and other helpers, this rather large family at Familia Hope is making great steps in resolving the shocking traumas through regular daily routines, around cooking nutritious food over the ﬁre, playing music and marbles and taking pride in their appearance with good modern clothes (a box donated from Singapore arrived while I was there). The older kids are 16, so style and appearance matter just as with any teenager. It is evident that they all survive on a wing and a prayer. The Gleno School has so many kids and so few teachers that the school day has three shifts, so that some pupils are home by 10.30am. GNIBI faculty at Lismore Southern Cross University, which works with Australian indigenous trauma, is starting a project to help this community in the healing of its own cultural trauma and enhancing education opportunities.

to security issues, although during my short visit I did not hear any gunshots or see houses burning. A UN police presence is very visible with considerable numbers of Toyotas driving around but not really appearing to do much. It’s almost a year since the Brunswick Shed men rode for the orphanage and the Mullum Creek landcare group generously donated to buy shoes for the kids. It can get cold up there at night and most of these kids still don’t have a jacket, rather just sit and shiver, accepting in a way which is beyond our Aussie understanding. In much the same way, the national ﬁgures for mortality in pregnancy are as bad as anywhere in the world, but the people seem to accept this as normal, because it’s been like this for so long. If a village woman dies in childbirth, I was informed

that it’s customary for the husband, without too much fuss, to just ﬁnd a new wife. Would Timor Leste be recommended as a tourist destination? The more intrepid traveller who does not expect to be lavished with ‘Bali style’ luxury will be rewarded by an adventure among the very hospitable and extremely polite people, but don’t expect too much. Gleno has no hotels, but a few simple eating places cater for the foreign aid workers from many lands. The doctors are mostly Cuban. There are police from Portugal, the ‘Share’ project is run by Japanese and there are missionaries from Singapore. It’s easy to get into Timor Leste. Just turn up and pay $30USD for a visa, but it furthers one to have somewhere to go or something to do. The greatest culture shock is coming back to our opulent country from such a place, so near in distance yet so far away. Even going back into Bali was a shock, in comparison, luxurious. Fifty years ago, after World War II, TS Eliot wrote these lines, which still resonate in today’s turbulent and unpredictable world: ‘We shall not cease our explorations, for the purpose of all our journeys is to return to the place where we started and to know it for the ﬁrst time.’ Q Anyone wishing to offer help can contact Isa at Familia Hope, PO Box 247 Dili, Timor Leste.

Thank You Mullumbimby and the Brunswick Valley The Mallam Group would like to announce that we have agreed to sell our supermarket and liquor businesses in Mullumbimby and Brunswick Heads to Woolworths Limited. It is anticipated that the actual takeover of the businesses will be in June 2009, but meanwhile it will be business as usual at Mallams. Over the past 7 years, the Mallam Group has worked very hard, under difficult circumstances, to develop plans for a new, modern supermarket and liquor store to better serve the needs of the growing town of Mullumbimby. The Station Street development site is part of the sale arrangement and we trust that Woolworths will help bring this worthwhile project to fruition. We have been serving the community since 1904 and are extremely proud of our heritage, but it is time to look to the future and ensure that the long term employment prospects of our loyal staff members are protected. Woolworths is also a long standing icon of Australian retailing and we have every confidence that they will take good care of our employees, our customers and our community. We would like to express our gratitude to our employees and to all residents of Mullumbimby and the Brunswick Valley both past and present, who have supported our businesses over the years.

Natural crisis beyond political means Vol 22 #30

January 8, 2008

Freaky weather While weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re contemplating the vagaries of the weather â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Byron Shire could not have hoped for a more felicitous distribution of rain in the leadup to summer â&#x20AC;&#x201C; let us consider the Bureau of Meteorologyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest Annual Australian Climate Statement, released last week. The Bureau (see www.bom.gov.au, for those who have yet to revel in its charts, satellite images and detailed warnings) advises that 2007 was the sixth hottest year on record in Australia; 2007 was the hottest year on record in the Murray Darling basin, NSW, Victoria, and South Australia; and Southeast Australia has now missed out on the equivalent of an average yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rainfall over the past 11 years, and under the current drought, water storages have had record low inďŹ&#x201A;ows. The Statement also reveals that 16 of the last 18 years have been warmer than the long term average in Australia. This in itself is not necessarily a consequence of climate change â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it could be a freakish hot spell â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but it does dovetail in nicely with the 2007 global climate change science assessment of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (www.ipcc.ch). On its climate change page (www.bom.gov.au/climate/change) the Bureau has a good selection of charts and maps which detail weather patterns, and the chart of global climate variability provides interesting data for sceptics, especially the upward trend in global annual mean surface temperature since 1980. It seems with the ratifying of the Kyoto Protocol, even as feeble as it is in its response to climate change, the new Australian government has gone beyond scepticism. Its climate change minister, Senator Penny Wong, has congratulated the Bureau for its work and pointed out that the government intends this year to work on a National Emissions Trading Scheme and on increasing the uptake of renewable energy. While the so-called Bali Roadmap is short on detail, nationally we can at least encourage the use of renewable energy through further rebates and incentives. Locally, Byron Shire Council, not without its share of sceptics, resolved in December last year to take climate change into account in its strategic planning and adopt parameters for consideration â&#x20AC;&#x201C; for example, that sealevels will rise by 18cm to 91cm by the end of this century. It seems a very modest consideration and we suspect the reality on the ground â&#x20AC;&#x201C; whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s left of it â&#x20AC;&#x201C; may surprise us all.

The Byron Shire Echo (established 1986)

s the nation reluctantly returns to work, one job looms over every other; and it is, of course, dealing with climate change. Surely the weather over the holiday period has convinced even the most pigheaded of sceptics that we are now facing increasingly violent weather patterns which can only mean massive changes to our lifestyles. Hit by cyclones in the north, faced with record heat waves in the south and west and ďŹ&#x201A;ooded out along the eastern coastland, Australians must surely be ready to take action. The question, of course, is what action. The ďŹ rst thing to get clear is that this is a natural crisis, not a political one, and that it cannot be solved by purely political means. This should be blindingly obvious, but it is hard to convince the politicians â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who will, in the ďŹ nal analysis, be the ones who decide what is to be done â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that we are looking for genuine solution, not simply a tactical victory. John Howard, although he ended up describing himself as a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;climate change realistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, never learned this lesson; he always insisted that Australia had to maintain its comparative advantage as a major coal producer as part of any international strategy. His instinct, indeed the habit of a lifetime, was always to look for an edge over the rest of the world, to be able to boast of having outsmarted those whom he saw not as fellow warriors in a common cause, but as economic opponents. He was simply unable to view the mining and export

of dirty coal not as a comparative advantage, but as an environmental crime. But this is how it will have to be viewed, and crimes entail penalties. These will be exacted as some form of carbon tax, and eventually we shall have to pay it. To avoid what could be a prohibitive cost, perhaps even culminating in economic sanctions against us, we would be wise to start weaning ourselves off coal as soon as possible. This will not be a painless process either, but it will at least make us part of the solution rather than a continuing part of the problem. Clean coal would of course be the ultimate breakthrough, but at present

Climate change is no longer a distant threat; it has arrived. by Mungo MacCallum remains a very expensive fantasy. By all means let us keep going with the research, but letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not abandon everything else in the hope that it will work out, because it probably wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. Apart from ďŹ nding alternatives, the only way to reduce the emissions that cause climate change is to reduce the overall use of energy, which we are trying to do: more efďŹ cient cars, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t leave devices on standby, change the light bulbs. These are all worthwhile because they involve ordinary people by making them feel they can contribute. But they are still no

as much of it as possible is clean and renewable energy, and to prepare to live with the climate change from the bit that isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. This is likely to be difďŹ cult enough, as the last few weeks have shown. Climate change is no longer a distant threat; it has arrived. And every single decision Kevin Ruddâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s government takes should bear this in mind. The priority in the year ahead will be not only to put in place a comprehensive plan of action, but to convince the public that whatever sacrifices it involves are necessary and worthwhile. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no longer a

question of winners and losers. Now more than ever we must act not as citizens of Australia but as citizens of the world.

any years ago a touring English cricket team, in a moment of nostalgia, decided to hold a fancy dress Christmas party. Each player was to draw a tile from a Scrabble set, and then come dressed as someone or something beginning with the letter he drew. Captain Bob Willis picked up a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;uâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, and arrived wearing a white jacket and dark glasses and tapping his way around with the aid of a white stick. He was, of course, an umpire. For visiting sides it has ever been thus, but few have gone through such a rough trot as Anil Kumble and his Indians, a potentially formidable team whose talent and performance is considerably better than the record books will show. A truly horrendous run of decisions disrupted their chances in the ďŹ rst test and cost them certainly a draw and very possibly a win in the second. This in turn has led to a lot of unnecessary ill-feeling, culminating in the suspension of a player whose crime appears to be overstepping the line in replying to abuse from the Australians. Given the remorseless use of sometimes dubious technology to expose umpiring mistakes to even the dumbest cricket fan, feuding between the teams has now left the sports pages to become an international issue â&#x20AC;&#x201C; along with the weather. Well, at least itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ nally got politics off the front page.

Growing organic As a certified organic grower I’d like to respond to Jo Immig’s letter (January 1). With regard to the BFM I don’t feel there is a ‘rift’ between certified and non certified growers, merely a different approach to the growing and marketing of their produce. While I feel that only certified organic produce should be sold as organic so that the consumer can buy with confidence, the option to become certified or not remains with the grower. ‘Spray free’ is a very open term and gives no indication of additives and/or chemical residues in the soil. ‘Chemical free’ is a term that should only be used if the grower can provide a recent soil test report (costs approx $100) to support their claim. The education of the customer regarding the food that they consume is vitally important and we welcome questions regarding any aspect of our farming operation. The OGA/BFA (07 3350 5716) ‘small growers scheme’ gives the little guys/ girls the opportunity to become certified at minimum cost (probably around $10 a week). This certification cost would easily be recovered by increased sales and price premiums generally associated with organic produce. Lastly, the BFM on January 3 was held in the worst weather we have encountered in five years of growing and having picked and packed our produce we and other growers will always be

Woolworths in Mullum Q Can’t wait for The Echo’s ofﬁcial launch of their new coffee table book on letters to the editor re Woolworths in Mullum. No doubt it will be in a hardback form and one day become a collectible item in everyone’s loungeroom in the shire. I just wish the rain would stop so I can get out and reinforce the old letterbox so it can carry the weight of the forthcoming editions of The Echo. Then again, maybe I should be booking a crane so as to get it off the back of the truck and into the letterbox. God knows!

Q My reaction was of disdain when I read the headline about Woolworths coming to Mullumbimby. Woolworths for me represents most that is wrong in the corporate world: screwing down of our food suppliers, notably absent in supporting community, and not least perpetuating the disposable society. Local business can recycle our dollars up to several times within our community. Woolworths would be lucky to return a quarter of each dollar to Mullumbimby. Research in the US shows that these ‘big barn retailers’ John England can in fact be a net cost to Andersons Hill local communities. Would

Woolworths care? I acknowledge I have a vested interest – they will certainly take some of Santos’s sales, some of every Mullum retailer’s sales, even sell similar products at prices below what we can buy them for. (Who will go to the wall?) However Santos will continue to support our community, do fair trade with our suppliers and care for our environment. Can we invite Frank Sartor to care? – Santos certainly will. Mr Sartor is the NSW Minister who overruled our Council to allow this development.

been funding cuts to Lismore Base Hospital. The drug in question, Fludarabine, continues to be available at Lismore Base Hospital. However, like elsewhere in NSW the Hospital has to determine whether it is clinically suitable for each individual patient before it can be administered. The potential benefits need to be weighed against a number of factors, not least of which is whether the drug will actually improve the patient’s quality of life. Mr Page referred to two patients in particular. I’m advised that the ﬁrst has already had his case considered, and has been informed that his treatment will continue at Lismore when his specialist wishes. In regards to the second patient, I’m advised that the Hospital is still considering whether Fludarabine is the most suitable drug for her speciﬁc circumstances. The NSW government has increased Lismore Hospital’s budget to $92 million. And we’ve increased the budget for the entire North Coast Area Health Service to $681 million – almost 9 per cent more than last year’s and the biggest it’s ever been. Furthermore, the Hospital

is currently undergoing a major redevelopment and will be getting brand new cancer services such as radiotherapy. While the NSW government is investing record amounts into the region health service, there will always be a need to do more. If the National Party really cared about our public hospitals, they would spend more time acquainting themselves with the facts and less time spreading misinformation.

Untrue claims The other week the Member for Ballina Don Page alleged that ‘funding cuts’ had left Lismore Hospital unable to provide two local cancer patients with a particular drug. This is completely untrue. It is untrue that the drug in question is unavailable at Lismore Base Hospital and it is untrue that there have

different to all others that have gone before it. Our new global emergency requires new thinking and a new consciousness by all peoples. The manufacture and deployment of one military aircraft and its weapons negate all the power saving, recycling and every other effort taken to combat global warming/climate change by entire cities and in some cases whole countries. The ‘global people power movement’s’ ﬁrst objective should be to ban the manufacture of weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) by all nations, starting with the biggest, in order, the USA, Britain, France, Russia, China, Israel, India, Pakistan, South Africa, and, as it is all top secret (from the people that is), there could be others.

Transported Undermining TOOT’s hardearned initiatives, Ross

T h at c h e r , B a n g a l ow (December 18 letter), does not help to get your point across. Many towns in Australia and across the world have already established safe cycleways right alongside their train tracks, as well as providing light rail services to commute to work. The community deserves the right to choice, Ross, and our Council could easily utilise the old rail crossing at Old Bangalow Road to bypass the CBD and avoid constant traffic congestion if it had the will to enforce their duty of care to the Byron Shire. As for Council’s unpopular sale of Ocean Shore’s proposed sportsfields (Lot 107) to the RTA –18 high, dry acres for a piddling $245,000, monies which currently sit in Council’s banking accounts awaiting Council’s decision to honour its promise to the community to provide integrated sportfields, which was the original intention for our Section 94 Funds which helped purchase this land and Shara Boulevarde in 1995, long before any land surrounding Lot 107 was

sold to NPWS. Why should we continue to be used as a milking cow when our money legally must be utilised in the Ocean Shores catchment ? Tina Petroff

Amenities block from Hell I’ve been watching this ‘amenities’ block decaying since I moved here in 1994. Not sure when it was built. Looks like about 1894 to me. I am so embarrassed now when I see our visitors hesitate at the entrance to this unhygienic monstrosity. A hideous example of our aesthetically and priority-challenged council works dept. The Besser brick work is not in too bad a condition but all the windows, doors, ﬁxtures and ﬁttings have to be seen to be believed. This building looks like it has been imported from the most squalid, poverty ridden country in the world. The hole in one of the walls of a men’s cubicle has a most elegant use – for men (gay and straight) to service each other’s sexual needs... anonymously! The three other public toilet blocks in Brunswick Heads are not much better. This one at the surf club is the worst. It is quite simply, atrocious and gag-inspiring.

The toilet ‘block’ co-joining the sound shell in the busiest park in town has one female toilet and one male toilet and these both are old, grotty and stink the park out! The toilet ‘block’ at Torakina Park is dark, squalid and grotty. The amenities at Banner Park are the best of a very bad bunch but still dark, dank and scary for children. These amenities are meant to service mothers with new-borns, our elders, the disabled, pregnant women and everyone else.

The four blocks could easily have solar lighting, soap and hand towel dispensers, even composting toilets! They need to be user friendly, eg low cistern for small children, change bench for parents to use, lots of natural light, etc, etc. This is 2008 and it’s critical we show respect to all our visitors and to all the people who use these parks and frequent our businesses. Come on, Council, this is a priority. Sarah Buchanan

Q Basil Cameron performs an amazing about-turn with his latest letter (January 1), when all of a sudden, greenhouse gas emissions are no longer his greatest priority, nor are the day-to-day reality of actual working families. Not only that, but he has the magic vision of reading the word ‘should’ in my letter of December 18, rather than seeing that I was doing nothing other than pointing out that, for better or worse, it (the freedom of the motor car) is simply the way things are. Then, with a broad insult to all working people, he manifests an anacronym describing hard-working, time-stressed, local business people and assorted wageslaves as BUMs. Must be nice to look down from afar and idealise fanciful notions which will never see the light of day while the rest of us scrabble in the dirt attempting to etch out an actual living. Where were you, Mr Cameron, when the rail line was still tenable and a light rail system may have still been feasible? Why wait until the horse has bolted before realising there was a gate to be locked? Why try and ﬂog it now that it’s dead? The maintenance of the many wooden bridges between Casino and Murwillumbah was ceased a good five years or more

before the line was even closed. Where were you and the rest of the TOOTers back then? And even then, it is widely known that the maintenance was somewhere between five and ten years behind schedule. Do you really expect the taxpayers to foot the bill for up to twenty years of maintenance plus the total refabrication of an entire rail line? There goes the new hospital. If we are serious about traffic flow, not only will the bypass be implemented as soon as possible but pedestrian barricades and proper traffic crossings replete with traffic lights (yes! shock horror! Byron Bay needs traffic lights!) will be installed at at least two or three points in Jonson Street for pedestrians. What do you think those things at the rail crossing with baricades were, anyway? Umm... cow bells? Mr Cameron’s idealisation that thirty seconds is all it will take ‘at most’ to delay traffic while an hourly train service passes through town once again shows just how out of touch with reality he must be. Has he no recollection of how long the XPT took on its twice-daily trip through town? Or doesn’t his memory or experience stretch back that far? If we eliminate one minute of queues into town, yet some days it can take half an hour

or more to get into town, I have to wonder just who’s horn he is trying to TOOT here. Pull the other one, Basil. I agree that we need a ‘diverse range of transport’ options, but if we rely on massive infrastructure funded by big government, by the time it is available, it will need upgrading anyway. Just look at our highways. We cannot realistically say they will still be servicing us twenty to thirty years in the future. At least we can build bicycle tracks which could service us into the next century. Plus, they can realistically give us a safe option away from the killer trafﬁc, air pollution and steep gradients. It may even open up a whole new tourism industry which is both ecologically sustainable and familyfriendly. I’d love to see the old railway station in Bangalow, for instance, turned into a lovely little fresh-food café (farmer’s market supplied) with perhaps a friendly little overnight camping ground for passing bike riders. What better way to escape the mayhem of the highway, slow down, and enjoy the good life, than on the seat of a bike leisurely making your way to the coast and beyond into the hinterland for the ultimate getaway? Meanwhile, us workers need to get to work on time,

Ross he once again sights his intellectual armoury on the vexed problem of global warming and the ‘misguided’ attempts of the ‘roundearthers’ on Council to prepare for what could well eventuate. Now Ross has made some progress in this area – from bald denial of the phenomenon earlier this year he recently acknowledged that there appears to be something going on – but it is deﬁnitely nothing to do with human activity and will not affect us in our or our children’s lifetime. Ross, whose scientific knowledge of warming does not appear to extend much beyond a few good soup recipes, eschews attending any relevant forums such as the Coastal Conference – possibly on the grounds that they are populated by scientists and rabid greenies - and what would they know?

His understanding of the ﬁeld is probably informed by such sources as Cr Mangleson who helpfully provided councillors with a tract from Lyndon la Rouche’s Citizens Electoral Council to assist them with their deliberations. Cr Mangleson also provides comfort for the future with her discovery that oil is being replenished beneath our feet at a rate equal to depletion. We have obviously nothing to fear with councillors of this calibre on the job... In the same bumper issue Harold Ross (Ross’s alter ego?) once more pines for the moral standards of the (Crimean) pre-war period while lambasting ‘rule-free families with an endless stream of welfare money’ – know your enemy... And there’s more. Obviously fascinated with John Lazarus’s recent resig-

nation from the Greens the author characterises him as a ‘wild cannon’. Now either some of those rusting pieces of ordinance in front of RSLs have been escaping and breeding in the shrubbery or it is some form of ecclesiastical reference. We have all experienced vicious vicars, predatory parsons, pickled prelates and conniving cardinals, so a wild cannon is not beyond consideration... But hardly appropriate. Perhaps they meant ‘loose cannon’ – Lord Nelson would understand that. I would normally address such letters as this to the relevant publication but the ‘Courier’ (very wisely) discourages such frippery. Cr Tom Tabart

WHO WANTS SPLENDOUR IN THE TOWN WHEN WE CAN ENJOY SPLENDOUR IN THE GRASS? North Byron Shire Parklands (NBSP) is being run by the team which has successfully staged Splendour in the Grass for the past seven years. NBSP is the perfect site for such events, because of its large land size, minimal number of neighbours and good road access. While we respect everyone’s opinion, we’d like to present the facts:

• Splendour in the Grass attracts world class entertainment to the Shire and is an important part of the local culture

• The event injects $5.7m annually into the local economy

• We will be restoring parts of the currently fragmented and degraded wildlife corridor using our money and funds from our successful Envirofunds grant

• 76.2% of the Byron Shire community aged 18+ say they supported music festivals

• Over 670 part-time, full time and casual positions are created for locals

• We are in the process of donating ecologically significant land to the National Parks & Wildlife Services

• Our aim is to plant tens of thousands of trees • The new site will provide far superior traffic management and dramatically reduce impacts on local traffic

• Due to the size and topography of the site there will be significantly less noise impact to residents

• To date, we have contributed almost $200,000 in community grants

• We will continue to provide education and training opportunities for Shire youth

• We will work closely with neighbours by providing on-ground rapid resident response teams

• There will be more accommodation opportunities both at NBSP (camping), as well as in greater Byron and Tweed Heads

Articles John Campbell recounts the dangers of venting a minority opinion

The indiscreet harm the bourgeoisie

e’re just back from the emergency ward at Mullum Hospital. We’d been to Lady Cadaver’s annual Christmas present trade at Main Arm. It’s a neat idea. Everybody gets to swap the gifts that they weren’t keen on or got more than one of. No way was I going to relinquish my Roman Holiday fridge magnet and, as it turned out, there was not much variety to choose from. I’ve never seen so many copies of Khaled Hosseini’s A Thousand Splendid Suns. ‘It’s like, achingly beautiful, Old Man.’ Which is Cat Carer’s code for dead boring. Her sense of irony is coming along in leaps and bounds, but, given the surroundings, she whispered it cautiously. ‘Culturally significant though, and an essential and moving insight into the world of The Other.’ I’ve not read it, but I’ve learnt how to work the crowd at these sorts of tribal clambakes. While there, Cat Carer’s dad, The Ferret, up for his annual hols, was persuaded to take back to Sydney the unwanted pup of Faerie Queene’s black poodle, Marc Bolan. ‘What’s its name?’ he asked,

to be told that it was still pending. Lady Cadaver has made representations to the Bundjalung People to use a name from their Dreaming. ‘Was Marc Bolan’s family also approached?’ The Ferret can be too ﬂip for his own good sometimes. I sensed an electrical disturbance in the air. ‘Or if you wanted to call

it Thor, would you write to the King of Denmark ﬁrst?’ With rain drumming a tattoo on the tin roof, I tried to usher him out to the back verandah to watch the creek rising, but his steady consumption of the holy herb had set him on a roll. ‘It’s exactly the same line of thinking that the mullahs

in Sudan followed when they decided it was only proper to lash that British schoolteacher who allowed her pupils call their teddy bear Mohammed.’ He’d drawn a crowd. Things were getting tetchy. ‘Don’t be ridiculous,’ Lady Cadaver said dismissively. ‘Perhaps you could explain

Kids shine at Karaoke 07 Wet weather didn’t dampen the enthusiasm of karaoke singers who performed in the Housie Shed over the Christmas and New Year long weekends. Hosted by Byron Ballina Greens, Karaoke 07 attracted over 200 performances, culminating in a ‘Night of Stars’ on New Years Eve. ‘We had children as young as three singing nursery rhymes and Christmas carols, some really talented young performers and family groups and lots of teenagers belting out their favourite songs,’ said Giovanni Ebono, who compered the event with 17 year old Nicole Gallagher. ‘A deﬁnite highlight was the “Von Trapp” family, a mixed group of young holidayers who entertained us over several nights with their performance of YMCA. ‘Watching young people overcome their nerves and gain conﬁdence with each performance was fantastic. Many had never performed on a public stage before.’ Nine year old Kyle Moir from Ocean Shores was the Outstanding Performer in

the difference.’ Unable to recite an answer, our hostess took out her frustration on an unshelled macadamia, cracking it between her jaws with one awesome grinding motion. The Ferret didn’t know it, but he was spiralling towards his own personal ground zero. ‘It’s patronising, it’s playschool, it’s... it’s political correctness at its most narcissistic.You only do it to make

yourself feel righteous.’ If you’ve ever seen film of a nuclear bomb being detonated, you’ll know that there is a disjunctive silence between the mushroom cloud going up and the sound of the explosion. That was the sort of quiet that prevailed. Sensing the peril in which he had placed himself, The Ferret tried vainly to talk his way out of it. ‘Look, indigenous Australia’s mumbo jumbo is every bit as valid and worthy of respect as Rome’s, Varanasi’s and Mecca’s … ‘ It was the last straw. ‘Blessed are the bourgeoisie, for everybody else is a racist!’ was his final sardonic cry before the frenzied mob overwhelmed him. Whatever you do, never call an Echo reader a bourgeois. Fortunately it was a quick drive to the hospital. ‘Are you allergic to anything?’ the nurse asked as she began the essential procedure. ‘I can’t eat shellfish or any crustaceans,’ The Ferret groggily replied. ‘Well I’m not here to give you a tray of prawns,’ she said, producing a heinously long syringe and driving it into his arse. It facilitated the removal by callipers of the Coopers longneck which had been inserted a frightfully long way up his rectum. If only they’d taken the bottle top off first.

drunken teenagers were noticeably absent in Brunswick Heads this year,’ according to event organiser Michele Grant. ‘Overall the kids were very well behaved and very entertaining. ‘We had a really festive, fun time marooned in the Housie Shed on New Years Eve with over 100 happy, partying teenagers, thanks to a great team of volunteers, and the generous support of virtually every business in Brunswick Heads, in particular Trish and Terry McCulloch at Hotel Brunswick, Glen & Warren from McGregor’s Amusements and Craig Reid at Bruns Surf Life Saving Club.’

Articles Jann Gilbert gives the latest update on the Lighthouse Road walkway saga

Never-ending story, never ever been told…

or anyone wondering when the Lighthouse Road boardwalk and road restoration will be completed, the good news is that the end is hopefully in sight. Permanent restoration of Lighthouse Road was scheduled by the RTA (under Natural Disaster Relief) for funding in the 2006/07 financial year. Given the complexity of the project Byron Shire Council has now been granted an extension and works will need to be completed by June 30, 2008. According to Council’s Acting Director of Asset Management Ser vices, Michael King, plans for the project are on schedule and, barring unforeseen circumstances, are due to be completed by the due date. According to Mr King the delays are due to the complex nature of the restoration works, in particular the geographical constraints for road closure and redirection of trafﬁc, which is not an option on Lighthouse Road. This has meant that specialised design and construction techniques were needed to resolve the geotechnical problems involved in resto-

ration including piling and anchoring to ensure long term stability of the wall, new boardwalk and of the entire hillside. A detailed structural design was also needed to ensure the structural integrity of all components. ‘If we could close the road

and redirect trafﬁc, as we did with the slip that occurred at Montecollum at the same time, the project would have been much simpler and readily completed,’ says Mr King. Other factors contributing to the delay include environmental planning constraints

Byron Ballina Greens congratulates our outstanding performers at KARAOKE 07

(the works require approval in accordance with the requirements ofThe National Parks and Wildlife Service NSW); funding and design constraints (the design and provision of funds must be in accordance with the RTA’s ‘declared natural disaster guidelines’); the contracting of specialist consultants for geotechnical

investigation and detailed design (the investigation and design are outside the normal scope of Council activities); and a tender process to engage specialist contractors to complete the works (which are also outside the normal scope of Council activities). Mr King conﬁrmed that the planning and design work had been completed,

as well as the construction of Clarkes Beach Cottage gabion wall and the construction of the Lighthouse Road stormwater outlet, all of which had to be completed before construction of the piled wall and boardwalk could commence. ‘The piled wall and boardwalk stage of the project is currently being advertised for tender submissions, which close at the end of January,’ said Mr King. ‘Providing suitable tender submissions are received I would hope that they can be presented to Council at its ﬁrst Ordinary Meeting on February 28.’ Construction is expected to take 26 weeks, following which Council will complete new road pavement, kerb and guttering along Lighthouse Road. While Mr King is optimistic that the project will be completed by June 2008 he believes that further delays are possible due to the complexity of the project. ‘It’s really dependent on the level of success we have with the tendering process and attracting contractors with the relevant experience, as well as minimising any unforeseen delays in construction once we have a suitable contractor,’ said Mr King.

Four years ago the Wollongbar Alstonville Quota ladies thought it would be a really good idea to have an automatic external defibrillator (AED) on 24 hour call in Alstonville.They raised funds and ended up donating one to the Lennox Head Alstonville Life Saving Club, and locating the other at the Fire Station in Alstonville. They were ahead of their time,

because in the meantime all fire stations have been supplied with AEDs, therefore leaving the Alstonville defib spare. So they presented it to the Lennox Head Alstonville Surf Club which will use it on roving patrols, and will endeavour to spread the word so the community of Lennox Head knows the importance of the defibrillator in emergency response lifesaving and

knows where to locate one in an emergency. The Surf club in Lennox is a pivotal location because the caravan park and lake are just over the road, so the area caters to numerous tourists and visitors. An automated external deﬁbrillator is key when it comes to diagnosing potentially fatal cardiac arrhythmias and then treating them.

Should Say that.’

As the rain buckets down in between small bursts of sky, no tour could be more aptly named than ‘Sunshine and Clouds’ – the gig that features Tim Freedman, Old Man River, Joel Plaskett and The Cuthbert Nightwalkers choir. Like its namesake, it presents just that, music that ranges from the dark and dirge-like ballad, to the bright stab of brilliant blue belief. Tim Freedman is quite possibly one of the best pop ballad writers in the country, and has been recognised as such with his recent invitation to play with state orchestras on a national tour. I grabbed a quick chat with Tim a week or so after he played with the Queensland Symphony. He was still pretty chuffed. ‘It was frankly an honour to be amidst 90 musicians, the ﬁrst rehearsal with the Sydney Symphony was a bit daunting, but it’s a conﬁdence game. I got to choose the composers. There were nine different composers from Peter Sculthorpe to Brett Dean. These are the fathers of Australian modernism.’ As we speak Tim is preparing for

Rafﬂes at the Middle

playing solo shows with Perry Keyes at the Basement. I wonder what it’s like going from nearly a hundred people on stage to the power of one? ‘Playing solo is like paddling around in a dinghy as opposed to being on the bridge of the Titanic and not being able to turn it around. You can’t turn around the Titantic.’ Tim reﬂects on a moment with the orchestra when he forgot his words. ‘It was like a car crash in the concert hall. They were all sitting there waiting for me. I think the audience loves mistakes. All they remember from a performance is the ﬁrst song, the last song and all the mistakes you made in between. I am renowned for missing words and forgetting things. Audiences applaud afterwards, and I don’t get it.’ That’s what you get for having well written lyrics that run like narrative. A lot harder to remember than a rhyming verse. ‘It happens when your mind wanders. It’s not always that you get to wash off the day before you perform and you’ll be up there

Tim has been known as the front man for the Whitlams for well over a decade. For much of that decade John Howard has been in power. So where was Tim Freedman when we were returned to a Labor government? ‘I was in Brisbane in the eye of the storm playing the Queensland Performing Arts Centre with the Queensland Orchestra. I took a big telly on stage and I would just lean down and turn it on between every song. I got Maxine making this conﬁdent speech, and I thought something is going to happen, so I started playing Maxine to Roxanne – the orchestra looked a bit confused, we don’t have a chart for this! It was a very highspirited evening. I came back after interval and said ladies and gentleman you are looking at the new chairman of the Australia Council.’ Tim has been working on songs for a 2009 album release as well as trying his hand at a bit of writing. ‘I am working on a bunch of funny stories at the moment as well – I

am not diarist so that can make it a bit harder.’ As for the other recordings, ‘In 2008 we are putting out a best of and we are also releasing one of the nights at the Sydney Opera House – with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra and then we’ll do the orchestra shows again. So Whitlams new album will be due for release in 2009 – it’s going to be a full studio album.’ So after all these years of being a recording artist, is it tougher being creative with such close public scrutiny? ‘It’s like going to war! I don’t want to be melodramatic but after 15 years under a magniﬁying glass... the writing of the last album was very rigorous, it doesn’t suit me to work like that, you have to be scheduled.’ So what constitutes a good song? ‘A good song is basically a short story concentrated into a few short lines. That’s the thing, you write too much, then you try and maintain the same sense while making it shorter and shorter...’ Catch Tim Freedman at the Hotel Great Northern on Friday.

SOAP WARS

Last week I stood naked, cold and muddy as I faced a perplexing social etiquette issue. Should one wash with another person’s soap? I was at the Woodford Festival, and had just spent 20 minutes lining up for a shower. After stripping off and standing under the warm water I realised that I had lost my soap. Somewhere between my tent and the shower block I had lost my goats milk beauty bar in the stinking bog. I could just shower with water and vigorous rubbing. But it’s not the same as the kind of freshen up you get with a bit of perfumed assistance. If

the temptation wasn’t there, this would never have become an issue. Behind the nozzle was an arrangement of forgotten toiletries. Shampoos, conditioner and a selection of soaps. How convenient. Here I was soapless. If I was a believer in the Secret, I could even say that I had the power to manifest soap. Maybe next week I’ll be able to conjure up underarm deoderant. There are three possibilities. One is so small I was frightened that if I used it, I may in fact lose it. The other had that sticky congealed texture from being exposed to too much moisture. It was squishy and slimy and just looking at it made me feel nauseous. I chose the ﬁnal contestant. It was hiding out in a plastic soap container. I am ﬁlled with relief. Expensive soap. This is not the soap of some skanky feral girl. This is the toiletry of a nice well-kept middleaged woman. It has that seethrough swirly pattern in the middle and it’s unevenly cut. I have a sniff. And it’s delicious. I try not to think about where the soap has been before me. This innocent lathery friend has seen the most intimate places. God. That soap is a

slut. How many women have been in the cubicle before me? Someone has washed their feet, their bum, their armpits, their vagina with the same soap that is now on my face. I try to forget that I am spreading someone else’s dead skin cells all over my naked body. I go to return the soap to the plastic container when I notice that one of my pubes has become lodged in it. My nails are so short I can’t pick it out, so I return it to its box, with one single strand of Mandy Nolan’s DNA, captured as perfectly as a mosquito in tree resin. I towel up and open the door. A hand darts through. Its a small hippy girl. Some might say feral. She has dreads like thick rope and her feet are so gnarly and mud encrusted they resemble exposed tree root. She blurts ‘Sorry I left my soap in here’. She grabs the plastic container. I feel a kind of guilty shame – me and her soap had shared some intimate moments. She ﬂips it open to check the contents and exclaims ‘Fucking hell, there’s some bitches’ pube in here!’ I have worked out the delicate ettiquite problem of social soap sharing. If you are going to go to town with someone else’s lard, get a brazillian ﬁrst.

LIVE MUSIC MANDY MADE A MISTAKE It happens from time to time, but last week I accidentally made a typo and put the Byron Vista as $20 entry fee. That is not true. It’s only $10. It’s on this Wednesday at the Byron Bowling Club. Come and grab a cheap curry and a top night of music. Hosted and brought to you by Mook Bahloo and his impressive humble little uke.

UPRIGHT NOW You could put Eric Clapton, Randy Newman and Paul McCartney in a room together and wait for them to write the perfect basement song. Or you could discover the songs of Ross Nobel. Ross Nobel writes delicious McCartneyesque melodies with the insightful wit of Newman and the bluesy earthiness of Clapton. It’s intimate revelatory material that searches out the soul and faithfully records its pain and its triumphs. Culled from 35 years of songwriting craftsmanship, this collection of songs will both console and inspire. It is contemporary blues/rock from an ancient source. Ross Nobel and The Upright Men is a band of two fathers and their sons playing Cajuntinged gospel and rockin’ blues ballads. This crossgenerational band creates a perfect space for this very human, soulful music to reverberate across to whole families. This music is the story of a family man’s inner journey, its travails and its treasures and showcases Ross’s outstanding songs from his last two albums: Upright Man Vol 1 & 11. So what about the Fathers? Ross shares the name of one of the world’s funniest comedians – that can’t be a bad thing! Ross Nobel is a brilliant blues piano man and singer who has performed internationally supporting acts such as The Neville Brothers. The Charles Neville band featured a number of Ross’s Upright Man songs at the New Orleans Blues Festival and international tours. Back home he has played and recorded with some of Australia’s top musicians. He plays with fellow Dad, Bertrand Lalanne: Bert drummed with the famous John Mayall Blues band in the USA and led the cult rock trio Six-Foot Cake through its European tours from 1994-2000. He has since played with top-ﬂight players, here and overseas. He moved to the Shire in 2007. Now these are some pretty cool dads. My dad was also impressive. He used to get pissed and play the spoons at AA meetings. Their sons are keeping the talent ﬂowing with Holden and Tennyson Nobel along with Felix Lalanne takes care of bass, guitars, Hammond organs and harmonies. The boys (aged 14-16) are master players and have formed their

own band (Loose Cannon formerly known as the Chills) and are in the ﬁnal stages of recording their ﬁrst EP of original material. They bring a rocking energy to the mix and play with clarity and conviction.Their last gig was as support for sell-out concert with Mr Percival. See what magic happens when fathers and sons get together to make music. Ross Nobel and The Upright Men at the Bangalow Catholic Hall on Friday. Tix are $15/12 and at the door only or you can secure a place by emailing kupromo@bigpond.net.au. Doors open from 7.15pm for an 8pm show.

ROGUE Rogue State are an original four piece rock band who play protest songs with a hard edged retro sound reminiscent of the late eighties and early nineties. With a high energy rock show, Rogue State are not only visually entertaining, they rock the ﬂoor. The band is based in Byron and are currently mixing their ﬁrst independent CD due for release this Feb. David Bradbury chose to use their protest song The Whisper for the closing minutes of his latest doco, about Shoalwater Bay. Andy Bambach is the main songwriter and front man and hails from the Perth band Miscreants and Melbourne based band The Love Junkies. They play the Lennox Point Hotel on Thursday from 9pm.

SUNSHINE AND FLUID While Tim Freedman and his mates tour with Sunshine and Clouds, a rather cheeky take on it, is Carra who has called his Summer coastal jaunt, Sunshine and Fluid. Carra was born and raised in Jervis Bay on the south coast of New South Wales. He picked up a guitar at the age of twelve and has never looked back, playing in several bands throughout his adolescent years before realising his potential as a singer songwriter as he approached his 20s. He launched his album, Be Yourself last year. ‘Touring across was tough but very rewarding. Australia a massive place for artists to travel and connect with locals all around,’ Carra said. He plays the Rails on Sunday and Monday with both shows starting at 7pm.

AFRICAN EXPLOSION Be transported to the heart of Africa with rhythms, songs and spectacular dancing by visiting Master Musicians Valanga Khoza from South Africa, who will kick start the evening with irresistable harmonies from the back streets of Soweto. Valanga captivates his audiences with his wonderful sense of humor and velvety voice while playing an array of African instruments. Joined by Master Djembe player Mohammed Bangoura from Guinea West Africa. Mohamed doesn’t just play the drum he channels his African ancestors and lifts the roof! Something you have to experience to believe and he is accompanied by master dancer Lamine Sonko from Senagal. Lamine deﬁes gravity with his unique style of Sabar dancing and percussion. If you love African music get your booty out to Kohinur Hall on Friday. Doors open at 7.30pm, with food available by Loves to Eat. $15 at the door, kids over 10 are $5. A special kids show by international storyteller Andrea Darville at 7:45. 0411 843 384 or www. rhythmkonnections.com.

The members of Morph are ready once again, to crank out their signature trance jazz funk grooves. With all the original members, Morph will be teaming up with sensational groove guitarist Tim Corcoran to blast their way up the coast, kicking off at Lennox Point Hotel on Friday, then onto Exodus Live Festival, Fringe Bar Brisbane, Paciﬁc Hotel

Yamba and finishing off with the Beach Hotel in Byron Bay. This will be Morph’s fifth North Coast tour and to show appreciation for all the support they’ve received from the North Coast fan base throughout the years Morph intend to Rock out big time. Morph was formed in 2003 as a way of combining electronic music with Jazz Groove elements. With their morphing together of these fusions they create an interesting and different tone. They use shifting time signatures, displacement of beats and fat grooves from other planets. Morph continue to pave the way in electro acoustic music in Australia, being hailed as floor pumpingly extravagant. Their Europe tour took them across England, France, Portugal’s renowned ‘Boom Festival’ and Austria, playing at a multitude of festivals and events including Lintz ‘Pflasterspektakel’ buskers festival and Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

BROADFOOT AT BRUNS Just when you thought all the good songs about all the good places had been written – New York New York, London Swings, I Left My Undies in San Francisco – along comes Broadfoot putting Mullumbimby on the song map with Moon Over Mullumbimby. Broadfoot deliver a diverse range of locally inspired originals capturing a freshness and innocence that many thought was lost to the district – it’s like these guys don’t even know that Mullumbimby is turning into a Wooly’s town. Incorporating a surprisingly eclectic bunch of covers ranging from the Clash’s Rock the Casbah to Neil Young’s Like a Hurricane the net result is an original yet familiar performance with a distinct Mullumbimby aroma. The downside of Broadfoot is that it rains at more than 80% of their gigs – their New Years Eve gig at the Tumbulgum Pub bringing on the New Year’s deluge.

Returning home from their West Australian tour where they supported The Cat Empire the Hussy Hicks will be once again gracing local audiences with their quirky acoustic funk/folk tunes. The Hussies in question are gee-tar playin wunderkind Julz Parker and soul screamin local gal Leesa Gentz. We’ve seen them spend the past few years traipsing around the world performing gigs on every continent alongside superstars such as Tommy Emmanuel, Keith Urban, Travis and Damien Rice to name a few. This world class combination are a must see for music lovers. Their set touches upon funk-gypsy through folk/country to high energy blues/roots and with their harmonies and intense musicality they pump out a heck of a lot of sound for two small girls. Phil Emmanuel was recently quoted in Australian Guitar magazine saying that ‘Julz must be the country’s top female player’. They are currently in the process of completing their ﬁrst album with Bill Chambers – a mostly live collection of quirky tales, social commentaries and comical narratives due for release in February followed by a comprehensive national tour before the girls once again leave our shores for a string of shows across the globe. Catch them at the Ballina Hotel on Friday from 6pm or the Federal Hotel in Alstonville on Sunday 20 January at 3.30pm weather permitting.

BLUE BIRDY GROOVES Jim Kelly has established himself as a leading Australian contemporary jazz guitarist, composer and educator whose reputation goes well beyond Australian shores. In the 70s he formed Crossfire, Australia’s most celebrated fusion group which toured extensively and recorded seven albums. From the late 70s Jim became a highly sought-after session player performing on countless jingles, documentaries, film scores, plus pop and jazz artists’ albums. The 90s saw Jim move to lecture at Southern Cross University, Lismore, where he remains Head of Guitar Studies. Jim’s latest creative projects are the newly formed Crossfire jazz fusion band with four of the original members, The Thrillseekers, and a guitar duo with young upcoming guitarist Matt Smith. Jim is a musician dedicated to the art of improvising, composing, performing and teaching and

When a bloke gets his dick out you are not supposed to laugh. Sure ladies, go back and have a chat to the girls about it. Hoot and holler about the banana shape, about the weeny little thing that looked like a thumb, or marvel with horror how it looked like something that had been slammed in the door. Men, for good reason are sensitive about their genitals. Until Simon Morley and David Friend came along. These two have built an empire on allowing women to laugh at their dicks. And they are spectacularly funny. Puppetry of the Penis was conceived by Simon in ‘96 as the title of a highbrow art calendar showcasing twelve of his favorite penis installations known as ‘dick tricks’. Years before, Simon’s youngest brother had shown him his installation The Hamburger. Natural sibling rivalry resulted in the evolution of a grand repertoire of genital gesticulation. I remember being shown the calendar in a cafe in Bondi. Jacqui, of Jacquis’ ﬂicked through the amazing but shocking months and I fell about laughing. Who would have thought that this would be the precurser of bigger things, pardon the pun, to come. It was New Years Eve in ‘97 with a garage full of calendars, or as is known in the performing world ‘a shit load of merch’ that Simon worked out the best way to sell the merch was to have a show. Most people work the other way around, but he was thinking with his dick and the merch came ﬁrst. It always had such innocence about it! Simon was joined by David Friend who kept himself busy creating a solid business performing his repertoire of installations at hens nights and private parties. Together, these two created the Puppetry of the Penis empire, which later became a franchise seeing blokes doing nob work all over the world. It’s frigging brilliant. And, having seen the show about 20 times

or more I have to add that while it is graphic, it’s kind of sweet – it’s in your face, but always remains tasteful. The Kangaroo is one of the cutest little things around... More on the Puppetry story next week. The guys get the tackle out for a special show at the Hotel Great Northern on Thursday 17 January. Tix are at the venue. If you’ve seen it before, come again, because unless you’ve seen Morley and Friend do it, the cockmasters, then you haven’t seen anything.

FROM YASHERE TO ETERNITY Gina Yashere is a woman to be reckoned with. She’s been called the next Whoopi Goldberg by the British media and just last year she made it to the ﬁnal cut of the Global Reality Stand Up competition: Last Comic Standing. She also took out the prestigious Best Female at the Black Comedy Awards. Gina hails from London via Nigeria and is a woman who obviously seeks unconventional employment: before her incarnation as a world famous standup comedian, she was a lift engineer. She learnt how to get people up physically and spiritually! She is well known on British television and has developed a cult following after having appeared as a regular on a panel show that ran for 3 years on BBC 2 (Blouse and Skirt). Her infectious personality and observations on everything from TV programs to the worldwide image of Nigerians has wowed audiences not just in the UK but in America, Dubai, Hong Kong, Singapore, Europe and pretty soon, Australia. Her recent American success has seen her relocate to LA, a brand new experience for this funny girl on a rise. According to Gina: ‘Life in LA has been very good. Love the apartment, tho parking is a pain in the ass, and there is no garden. Apparently, only rich people in LA get outside space, so I’m hoping to graduate to a balcony at some point, and maybe the sounds of birdsong in the morning, rather than the

I’ve been doing lots of comedy clubs in and around LA, and I’m getting recognized wherever I go, which I’m used to in England, but it’s really weird that it’s now happening to me in America! I’ve signed with new management here in LA, which is great, so I’m now a truly international comic in that I’m represented on both sides of the Atlantic! I did a showcase at the LA Comedy Store for a spot on this season’s Def Comedy Jam, and got booked, so I will be making history as the ﬁrst Brit to do it, and I promise I will be representing the U to the K to the fullest!’ As for her close call with international stardom on Last Comic Standing, Gina laughingly admits: ‘I actually voted myself off the show!’ Gina Yashere is in Australia for just 2 weeks while on a break from shooting her new series with HBO. While she’s here she has only a handful of gigs, and one of them is in Byron Bay at the Services Club, at the Pandanus Lounge on Monday 21 January. She performs alongside Mandy Nolan (ME as MC) and is supported by National Raw winner, Ellen Briggs and Gina Baker. Tickets for this international comedian are $20/25 and can be booked on 6684 3443 or bought directly at the Byron Services Club. Show starts at 8pm.

THERE’S SOMETHING FUNNY ABOUT BANGALOW

From Valentines Day, February 14 until February 17 the happening hamlet of Bangalow hosts The Big Joke Comedy Festival. This is one of only a handful of regional comedy festivals in the country. The program reﬂects the uniqueness of the region but also provides 3 nights of international calibre comedy. It’s designed on the Montreal rather than the Melbourne Comedy Festival format. This is because as a 4 day event, it’s imperative that punters are offered a host of shows that offer a kind of standup smorgasboard. Take Thursday 14 February show for example: ‘My Funny Valentine’. Hosted by Vanessa Wagner and featuring headline comic, 3 times Logie winner and host of It Takes Two, Julia Morris. She’s also joined by Lola The Vamp, a burlesque performer who recently supported Nick Cave, Amelia Jane Hunter who performed to rave reviews in Edinburgh this year and comedian/ hula harlot extraordinaire, Tina Trash. In this very edgy Valentine Day’s show standup comes face to face with, burlesque and cabaret to create a living, loving comedy critique of romance, raunch and beyond. There’s even an interactive comedy dating show for love seeking singles called BrainDate, Laughter Yoga, a comedy show with the over sixties called ‘Shooting From My Hip Replacement’ and the Village Idiot: the

weekend search for the best and brightest new comic on the block. Other nightly headline shows include Saturday 16 Febs, ‘Think, Thank, Thunk’ that features names like Einstein Factor’s Peter Berner, Nick Sun & Joel Ozborn. These twisted intellects are the thinking men of Aussie comedy who perform a comic autopsy on the cultural cadaver. The Big Joke also welcomes Anthony Morgan, who emerged from retirement this year to accolades at the Melbourne Comedy Festival. A comedy veteran, Morgan was best known for his appearances on the Big Gig and as Andrew Denton’s roving reporter. He is joined by global raconteur Jonathan Atherton & UK comedian, and Melbourne Comedy Festival headline performer, Gordon Southern. This will be his ﬁrst show on Aussie shores, so you can catch him fresh on his Festival circuit. This impressive headline performance is called ‘Mad Dogs and Englishman’ and offers 3 headline comics for the price of one. The Big

Joke has a commitment to providing innovative performance, and after the huge success of Funny Kids 2007, The Big Joke welcomes back 30 more kids from 8 – 16 to the talking stick. After a 3 day workshop and some intensive training the kids turn their everyday struggles and adversities into standup comedy. It’s hysterical, revealing and very very real. There’s a late night smokin Burlesque Show with 15 students of La Lola Salon, an exhibition of gurns (funny faces) by international photographer Jules Ober and a fascinating In Conversation with headline comedians titled The Night I Died where they share their most brutal memories of gigs that didn’t go so well and how they survived it. Cracked Eggs is the Big Joke Breakfast that features emerging female voices. Seven comics go head to head in a comedy debate that tackles a crucial issue: Bigger is Better, and the audience gets a serve of the ﬁnest gender bending comedy on offer: Amelia Jane Hunter is Keith Flipp,

he story of a twin who the vanished in utero and now appears one week every three months in a grungey drag queen bar. The Big Joke also offers clowning, circus and cartooning workshops for kids and has numerous small child friendly performances. Programs are in cafes and stores near you and tickets are on sale now at The Urban 6687 2000. A limited number of Gold Passes are available, with shows also ticketed individually. It’s a comprehensive and impressive 4 day program. To buy tickets to headline shows online, you can go to www. thebigjoke.com.au and select the show you want to see then just click on the link.

When local filmmaker and actor, Stace Martin had the opportunity to direct his first short film, Never Sell Out, perseverance and a determination to ‘never give up’ ensured the film was finished in the short time span he had to enter the film in the Byron Bay Film Festival 2008. After seeing many of the local films at the 2007 Byron Bay Film Festival and having recently relocated to Byron, Stace was inspired to give something back to the community. With partner, Lisa, he set out to downsize a full feature project they were working on during 2007. The project is based on a true story and explores transnational manipulation and one man’s determination to stand his ground… no matter what the odds. While the full feature has many twists and turns, they are hoping the condensed version will still take the viewer on a visual and entertaining journey. Stace and Lisa are currently in the preproduction stages of a pilot for a series which they are endeavouring to make and film in and around the Northern Rivers area. Never Sell Out will screen at the Byron Film Festival scheduled for March.

FILM FANTASTIC FLICKERFEST

This film debut from comedian Paul McDermott got the jury award at the Seattle Film Festival and the Best Animation from Berlin.

1. Sean Penn is utterly believable as an obsessed loner in The Assassination of Richard Nixon (SBS, Sunday 9.30pm). 2. Channel Seven runs nothing but tennis for six days of the week and then on the seventh screens its only decent movie at 11.40pm on Sunday, too late for most punters. The Limey stars Terence Stamp as a crazy Londoner taking on an LA sleazemeister played by Peter Fonda. 3. Jeffery Donovan and Gabrielle Anwar are the stars of the hit American espionage series Burn Notice (Ten, Tuesday 8.30pm). Unfortunately the 90 minute pilot has been split into two 60 minute parts (which means a content to ad ratio of just three to one) and the rest of the series may not be shown for several months.

with Steve Starz, Nick Taylor, Magoo, Zenna, Sean Candy and smooth it out with El Scorcho and Dr Brian. Cool off in the Electric Tipi with DJ Browning Mummery and the Electric Tipi collaboration. Indigenous Australians will be performing the opening and closing ceremony. This year they come from different clans including Bundjalung, Kamularoi, Turrubul and Bigambul. I brieﬂy talked to Garry, elder of the Bigambul and asked him what he would like to get out of sharing knowledge via the ceremonies. Garry’s response was concise, ‘people‘s understanding of Aboriginal way of life.’ Exodus has always worked with indigenous Australians and with more and more clans joining in it has become a truly crosscultural happening within the party culture. Quoting the coordinator of the ceremonies Rangimaria, ‘I want Exodus to be a platform for indigenous culture of Australia to be seen and heard...whatever keeps us connected will makes us stronger’ Exodus has made a point of having a good contingent of female DJs on their lineup, DJ Zeitgeist is one of them, from Sydney and savvy on the mixing, she has also got several years of dance culture

under her belt. Q: DJ Zeitgeist, is gender and DJ-ing an issue you feel needs to be addressed? A: ‘I think it’s important just like I like seeing so many female politicians on the front bench of our newly elected government. Over the years of DJ-ing I have noted that women bring a unique and necessary experience to the dance-ﬂoor.’ Q: What has your personal experience been regarding your gender in the DJ ‘scene’? A: ‘In the early 90s I had to be incredibly tough and warrior-minded just to do my art and after repeatedly proving myself the gender issues changed so much so that being a female DJ became a selling point and on a very positive note inﬂuenced a lot of women to become DJs.’ Q: Would you play a gig if you feel you’re being hired

as the token female DJ? A: ‘There was a gig once like that in the 90s with a notorious promoter who had been thinking... for some time now... of maybe getting ‘a girl’ to DJ. I accepted the gig and requested that my name be on the ﬂyer as DJ Token.’ Q: Any advice for the girls and boys out there regarding this topic? A: ‘Really it’s not about gender it’s not even about the DJ – it’s about people coming together and the sharing in the positive and uplifting spirit of music and dance – and if someone can contribute to the art of creating this atmosphere with their DJ-ing then fuck yeah!’ Q: What thrills you musically at the moment? A: ‘Mashed-up rave-e-gen with infectiously ridiculous rhythms and motifs. If you’ve got some energy to spare you might wanna try it.’

THE GOLDEN COMPASS

This time last year a kerfufďŹ&#x201A;e was caused by the overt Christianity of C S Lewisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Chronicles Of Narnia. Controversy (especially in the US) has also attended the ďŹ lm of The Golden Compass, with umbrage now being taken as a result of ideas expressed by its author, Philip Pullman, a very public atheist. The jury is still out on the degree to which any ďŹ&#x201A;ick might impact on a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s understanding of the world (I still break out in a cold sweat at the recollection of Micky Mouse and those damned marching broomsticks and their pails of water), but there is nothing subliminal about its theme; the Magistorium, in whose hands power

resides, is threatened by the heresy of free thinking. It all happens in a parallel universe, where people have their own individual daemons in the form of animals as constant sidekicks. Overlooking the fact that this is a questionable way of leading kids to believe that there are such things as good and bad creatures (lest they grow up to wonder why itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OK to kill a chook but not a whale), it reveals how each particular character is reacting to another. The daemons can also be seen to represent the soul, and the forces of evil, somewhere up near the North Pole, are abducting children and stealing them. With the aid of the last remaining alitheometer (the golden

compass), the crusade is led by the fetching and feisty Lyra Belacqua (Dakota Blue Richards) and among her allies is craggy Sam Elliott, whose gravel voiced, Dodge City self-parody brieďŹ&#x201A;y turns proceedings into a cowboy movie. Structurally, it is not unlike many westerns, especially when Lyra has to talk a fallen hero now on the turps, in this case a polar bear, into taking up arms again to ďŹ ght the bad dudes. In a confusing tale that jumps all over the place, Nicole Kidman is perfectly cast as the nasty Mrs Coulter, whose daemon is a malevolent monkey who, early on, provides a particularly scary incident for the unsuspecting audience. She also scolds the monkey at one point,

triggering a moment of hurt and remorse which is surprisingly moving. More H G Wells than Tomorrowland (Daniel Craigâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lord Asriel might have been outďŹ tted by Bond Streetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ nest), there are thrills and spills, CGI that, for all its wonder, tends to overwhelm any other consideration and, it must be advised, some extreme violence, including a scene in which two polar bears meet in ferocious combat. Even with the proviso that there is to be an inevitable sequel, the story is not satisfactorily resolved, with the next Christmas holidays being too long to wait to learn what happens to Lyra and her mates. ~ John Campbell

SACRED GEOMETRY Have you noticed lately how the plants have been growing? No, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean how that grass that you just cut before the rain came down is now waist high, I mean just how it grows. The structure of it, the way it unfolds in a magical (if sometimes maddening) way. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a lot of activity going on at the Bangalow A & I Hall recently, what with the Starlight Wellbeing Expo four day extravaganza, and quite a bit of the program has been focussed on various aspects of Sacred Geometry. Sacred Geometry forms the basis and is the study of the underlying structure of everything on the material plane, and much more. It has been called the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;language of the universeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and was widely appreciated in many

Victoria Cosford Kate Platt has been an interior designer for about 15 years, both in Byron Bay and previously in Sydney. Her normal working day ďŹ ve days a week consists of eleven hour stretches without lunch breaks; she generally has about twenty projects going on at the same time and she jumps from one to the other. By her own admission she is a driven person who is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;hooked on workâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, thriving on the adrenalin it produces. And yet one of her favourite things to do is to devote time to cooking a beautiful meal then presenting it exquisitely â&#x20AC;&#x201C; candles, ďŹ&#x201A;owers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to family and friends. Hers is a party house â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all her houses always have been, drawing people to them like magnets â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and so there will be Friday night drinks or Saturday night dinner parties and always without fail a special Sunday lunch for her two sons, her mother and her brother. To Kate the crucial factor is to be extremely well prepared so that she can be part of the pleasure of the meal rather than just its creator, and to that end she has a huge freezer ďŹ lled with readycooked meals. The pantry is permanently well-stocked â&#x20AC;&#x201C; because she loves shopping she is constantly picking up unusual or exotic ingredients, and there are her own home-made preserves, chutneys and marmalades â&#x20AC;&#x201C;and the fridge is always full of fresh vegetables so she is never caught short. Her favourite cuisine is French (foie gras is one of her signature dishes) and she will often do a romantic little dinner just for herself and partner David Young, having spent an entire Saturday morning immersed in food magazines and cookbooks in pursuit of something new and special. Kate is fun, bubbly, colourful and creative so her secret to entertaining comes as no surprise: be creative and take risks because this is what makes it fun!

Luella Copeland Smith is a freelance advertising copywriter who works from home, largely for Sydney advertising agencies. Home, moreover, is an enormous Angus cattle stud farm she helps run with her partner, necessitating 5.30am starts seven days a week. The combination of that with very tight deadlines thrown at her due to the freelance nature of her job would make most women if not unable then at least reluctant to entertain. And yet Luella loves to do so â&#x20AC;&#x201C; since her twenties she has always had to do a lot of business entertaining and over the years has evolved tricks and devised systems to continue to do so. People are constantly dropping in to visit them on the farm (so endless cups of tea and home-baked biscuits), and apart from that she holds lunches and dinners two to three times a week. Her point of departure is a really good store cupboard, in which there will always be good-quality pasta, cans of pulses, biscuits for dips, olives and semi-dried tomatoes, and a freezer ďŹ lled with homemade stock, home-made pasta sauces, sourdough bread and her own icecream (like Margot she swears by her icecream maker). Her refrigerator will yield unsalted butter, sour cream, smoked trout, organic chicken and ďŹ sh, and cheeses. Bountiful herb and vegetable gardens mean that her meals are often determined by what is currently growing. Luella claims that being organised, having the best equipment you can afford, and having basic things on hand in both pantry and freezer are the most important factors in ensuring seamless entertaining for busy people, adding that it is best to stick to simple familiar dishes if you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t much conďŹ dence.

Not a local chefâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recipe but instead a heavenly summery one from Peter Doyle, head chef at Sydneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three-hatted est. restaurant. He created it to showcase the new release 2007 riesling by Taylorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the Clare Valley in South Australia â&#x20AC;&#x201C; described as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;boasting crisp aromatics of lemon and lime citrus and ďŹ&#x201A;oral spring blossomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but actually any respectable riesling works just as well ! Sugar Syrup In a stainless steel saucepan over a high heat, whisk together 250gr sugar and 250mls water â&#x20AC;&#x201C; bring to the boil then cool. Place 500mls sugar syrup in a bowl, add 750mls. riesling and 40mls fresh, strained lemon juice and whisk gently to blend. Churn in a blender at lowest speed until light and airy, then freeze in a cold stainless steel container until needed. Best consumed within 6 hours, it is an ideal aperitif to precede fresh seafood.

GEMINI: With January’s stars busy in your house of joint ﬁnances and untapped resources, ﬁnancial news looks promising this week. People mightn’t be communicative about their feelings (ideas yes, emotions no) so be attentive to loved ones who may need extra understanding. CANCER: This month focuses on partnership issues, with Tuesday’s new Moon possibly stabilizing a wobbly relationship. Dollars spent on home improvements and career necessities won’t be wasted right now – or time spent listening to new ideas on money management either.

LIBRA: With the whole of this month’s emphasis in your house of family affairs, this week a change of attitude or a new approach works wonders. If others offer sensible suggestions or unexpected assistance, you’d be mad to knock them back.

AQUARIUS: With Mercury in Aquarius you’ll want to shake things up and change them round this week – try something new. Tuesday’s new Moon gives plans a boost with a lucky break, then the Moon moves to Aquarius and the ball’s absolutely in your court.

SCORPIO: January’s planets in your house of communication say get out and about, meet new people, discuss contemporary ideas. Relying on old methods, holding on to old beliefs or keeping doing things the same old way won’t attract the opportunities you’re looking for.

PISCES: This isn’t the best time to indulge feelings of restless discontent – not while your astral calendar’s positively percolating with all sorts of attractive business and career openings. And this week wants to drop into your mind a brilliant idea that’s just ready to pop…

22 Fingal Street, Brunswick Heads 6685 1330 When the 2008 Australian Championships in Parramatta took a half-time break at the weekend, it was already clear that the old order is rapidly changing. As early as the first round, the progress of the top seeds was interrupted by a tide of junior players, with candidates for Australia’s 2008 Olympic team such as George Xie, Igor Bjelobrk and Igor Goldenberg all upset by rising stars. The biennial Australian Championships used to be regarded as the premier event on the Australian chess calendar but with the rise of stronger and more lucrative events such as the Doeberl Cup and the Sydney International, the national title tournament is no longer uppermost in selectors’ minds when the Olympic team is picked. Nonetheless, the winner of the Australian Championship has never yet been overlooked for an Olympic team.

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

A number of big names are missing in Parramatta, most notably Zhao Zong Yuan, who burst on to the scene as a 13-year-old by finishing second at the 1999/2000 Australian Championship in Mingara. Later that year, Zhao was on his way to the Bled Olympiad. Now 21 and Australia’s top ranked player, Zhao is in Europe hunting for the world class results which will earn him the grandmaster title. In Zhao’s absence, grandmasters Darryl Johansen and Serbian visitor Dejan Antic will be favourites in the battle for the $1,500 first prize. As a foreign player Antic is ineligible for the Australian title, which means the in-form Johansen is well on track for a record sixth Championship cup. Games from the Champ-

Sports Roundup with Eve Jeffery

Hellhound rocker gets lofty about birds When I was a kid, I used to spend my school holidays with my nana at her house in Bank Street South Melbourne. One of the fondest memories I have of those visits was waking up to her unrivalled breakfast, in the huge bed in the spare front bedroom. My nana was one of that ‘giving the right impression’ generation who thought it important to have the good bed and the never used pillows, inside crisply ironed cases, hidden under the nice bedspread. All of this was in full view through the door of the first room of the house leading off the central passage. Planted bang in the middle of the bed was a crinoline clad bride-doll sitting up on a cushion, wearing a sun bonnet and smiling sweetly at any lucky caller who might make it past the front door. The doll and the bed were gorgeous but the thing that I really loved about sitting up amongst the ﬂuffy pillows eating my bacon, eggs, grilled mushrooms and sausage, was listening to the sound of cooing from the ﬂock of pigeons that always seemed to gather around her front fence. Something about the luxury of brekky in bed and the rhythmic sopranic purring on the other side of the bedroom window, created an indelible memory that I recall often. That’s about all I ever knew about pigeons until I met Michael Farmer. Michael who is possibly better known as a musician and the front man for a few local bands in the late 90’s, knows tonnes about these cute feathered creatures as he is one among thousands who love to race them. Michael always kept pigeons as pets when he was a child in Sydney, but as he grew older he began his music career as drummer for well known Sydney bands Titanic and XL Capris and he fell victim to a common problem well known amongst olders pigeon enthusiasts, he ‘got interested in birds of another kind’. It wasn’t until he moved to South Golden Beach in 1992 that he rekindled his feathered love. ‘I hadn’t planned on keeping birds but a stray racer landed in South Golden and it somehow ended up on my doorstep. I knew a bloke who knew a bloke in the local club so I got hold of a hen, and she and the stray bird, which I

dubbed ‘Mick’s Favourite’, found each other attractive and so began my racing stable.’ While Michael’s pigeon clan grew he was performing in local bands the Dogs and Stonefish and was lead vocalist in both Hellhound and Farmer’s Friends, and over the next year he bread forty racing pigeons. In his first year of racing he won three first places and third in the young bird derby, a race for birds less than a year old. ‘That initial year of racing was great for me, and when I won my first race I was wrapped. When I won the second race, that was it. I was hooked.’ Because any pigeon generally returns to its own nest, its own mate and its own babies, it is relatively easy to selectively breed the birds that repeatedly find their way home over long distances. Male birds actually do a lot of the feeding and nurturing of the chicks, so when they are let out for a race, they can’t wait to get back to their bubs to give them a feed. Another form of teasing the pigeons into getting a move on, is to seperate the males from the females. The breeder will then show the males how pretty their girlfirends are without letting them have any contact. The boys know that when they get home they will have half an hour free time with the lady of their choice, and they also know that if one of their mates gets home first he may get the pick of the bunch, so the gauntlet is thrown down. This method works just as

well for the females who are vying for the affection of the most appealing fellow. Variously know as carrier pigeons, homing pigeons, messenger pigeons and racing pigeons these birds have been the subject of intrigue and drama thoughout the ages. In some countries they are regularly bird ‘napped’ with huge ransoms asked for their return, and bird owners and breeders will part with small fortunes for stock at auction, the highest price ever paid was £41,000. Using the sun as a compass and the effects of the earth’s magnetic field as a map, pigeons are extraordinary at finding their way home. Flights as long as 1800 kilometers have been recorded by exceptional birds in competition pigeon racing. Messenger pigeons were used as early as 1150 in Baghdad and also later by Genghis Khan. In 1860, Paul Reuter, who later founded Reuters press agency, used a fleet of over 45 pigeons to deliver news and stock prices between Brussels and Aachen. The outcome of the Battle of Waterloo was also first

Sports Roundup with Eve Jeffery Ocean Shores runner win Aussie bronze Mullum Club plays for Rescue Squad

Bronze medal winner Michael Ensor (centre – number 146) in his race at the Sydney Olympic Park Athletics Centre. Photo Erin Ensor

Mullumbimby High school student Michael Ensor won a bronze medal in the Under 18 boys 400metres final at the Australian All Schools and Youth Athletics Championships held recently at the Sydney Olympic Park Athletics Centre. In the leadup to the event, for which he trains six days a week, Michael competed in heats at the NSW State Combined High Schools event, where he won the 400m, running a personal best time to qualify for the final against the best Under 18 runners in Australia. In the final Michael produced another personal best time of 48.99 seconds to

take third place and the bronze medal. Originally an 800metres runner, Michael only recently competed in the 400metres event at the Gold Coast, producing the national qualifying time. Since July he has dramatically reduced his personal best time by four seconds. In doing so he gained selection in the New South Wales Athletics team. Michael has been the training partner of Mullumbimby athlete and Beijing hopeful Kurt Mulcahy, under coach Robyn Wright for the last few years. Kurt made the trip up from the Australian Academy of

Sport in Canberra to support Michael in the ﬁnal. The bronze medal capped off a big week for Michael who turned 17 the day after his win, and then was presented with a Sporting Blue, the North Coast’s highest sports award at a presentation in Coffs Harbour. Michael will spend 2008 juggling training and his year 12 studies as well as competing. His next major event will be the Australian Under 20’s in March at Grifﬁth University. Michael has decided that he will now run in the 400m events exclusively, and he eventually would like to train at the AIS in Canberra.

Healthy rivals are brothers in arms

The Mullumbimby Golf Club and major sponsor Peter Laverty Engineering, will host the annual Charity Golf Day in support of the Brunswick Valley Rescue Squad on January 19. The day is organised by Peter Laverty’s brother Mathew, a professional golfer and the owner-operator of Mathew Laverty Corporate Golf, one of Australia’s major corporate golfing event managers. The event is held for the sole purpose of raising funds for the Brunswick Valley Rescue squad which is constantly in need of support for the ongoing operation of its high quality volunteer service. Golfers from all over the area support this day in recognition of the fine work the Rescue Squad performs. Many survivors from car accidents, ocean assistance on the Brunswick bar and many other situations have benefited from the service provided by the squad. Money raised from the entry fees, the BBQ, raffles and from the sponsors will all go to the squad. Last year the total donated to the squad was almost $5,000. The event is a four ball Ambrose with the allowance for one non-golfing or novice participant in each group and competitors will be vying for $3,000 worth of prizes. ‘Ambrose is the easiest way to play golf,’ says Mullumbimby Golf Club Professional Damian Webber. ‘And having a non golfer in the team adds another dimension to the game. It’s a great introduction for anyone who has never played but would like to have a go.’ The nature of the Ambrose gives the competitors a wider expression of play as it is a team event, each group selecting the best shot from which to play on from, and each team having to choose at least four of every member’s Tee shots.

Damian, who has been the pro at Mullum for the last eleven years is really looking forward to Charity Day. ‘I can recommend it as one of the best events of the year. The day is for fun and to raise money for charity, but really everyone is a trophy hunter at heart, it’s just the most people don’t like to admit it.’ Damian says that he can guarantee that on the day there will be a few stacked teams, and he quite cheerfully told The Echo that his team will definitely be stacked to the hilt. As well as $1,000 of place getters’ trophies, there will be prizes for both men and women for the longest drive, and for nearest the pin on all par 3 holes. Starting at 1pm the competition will feature a shotgun start, all teams hitting off from tees around the course at the same time, ensuring everyone ﬁnishes at approxi-

mately the same time. Players and visitors who are interested in participating are requested to ring the Pro-Shop and book a tee time. The famous Rescue Squad food trailer will be catering with their usual succulent array of burgers and sausage sandwiches, and will be manned by the rescue squad volunteers. The Charity Golf Day will ﬁnish up with the presentation in the clubhouse at 6pm. This is an absolutely fun event open to men, women and kids, and if you don’t have a team, ring Damian at the pro shop and he can match you up with a one. The cost of entry into the event is $15 and after the recent rain, this is the perfect opportunity for all the cabin fever golfers need to get out there. For more information about the charity day or to get hooked up with a team contact Damian at the pro shop on 6684 1688.

Brunswick SLSC Masters cancelled

Sometimes playing sport can makes best of friends from the best of rivals. Very often it is appreciation of another competitor’s technique, skill and ability that creates respect and friendship through common interest. Byron and Lennox surf clubs have always enjoyed a healthy competiton but there is nothing like a little outside competiton to turn rivals into better friends. When the South Coast representative club from Queensland turned up to a local carnival, the challenge from afar put a bit of fire under the kids. Here is a photo of Sebastian Fahey from Lennox, and Josh Brown from Byron Bay at the Country Carnival last year. Good friends and fierce rivals. The way it ought to be.

Due to inclement weather the Brunswick Heads Surf Life Saving Club’s 12th annual Masters Tournament scheduled for last weekend, had to be cancelled. The event will be run on February 2. It was decided on Thursday that for safety’s sake, it would be appropriate to hold the event at a later date, as up and down the coast was pounded with the fallout from the cyclonic weather pattern in south eastern Queensland About 200 visitors a day took advantage of a break in

the weather and headed to the beach, keeping patrollers on their feet. Bruns SLSC president Craig Reid said that even though conditions had improved over the weekend, there was still good reason to be alert. It is still important to be aware of swimming between the ﬂags and to watch out for debris in the water. ‘There is a lot of stuff ﬂoating around out there. Debris has been floating down the river because of the rain and that is an added danger when swimming.

We have had logs, car tyres and all manner of junk washing up on the beach and there are a few holes and rips still around, so swimmers need to be careful.’ As always the message for swimmers and especially parents to be vigilant can’t be made strong enough. Swim between the ﬂags and keep small children within arm’s reach. For information about joining the Brunswick Heads SLSC or the Masters Tournament, phone Kris Southwell 6685 1624.

Highway noise, climate and a supermarket capture Byron Shire Council’s attention At its last meeting for 2008 on December 13, Byron Shire Council considered, among many other things, the issues of highway noise at Ocean Shores, planning for climate change and the advent of a new supermarket in Byron Bay.

Highway noise at Ocean Shores Council resolved to write to the Minister for Roads and the Minister for Planning informing them that: 1. Noise testing has been carried out on the Pacific Highway at Ocean Shores and Billinudgel indicating that highway traffic noise is higher than the predictions made and exceeds EPA noise goals. 2. Vehicles running over the audible edge lines (ripple strips) now in place on the new highway section and entrances exceed the traffic noise by at least a further 10dBA. 3. The Minister for Planning on 19 August 1999 stated that ‘the Proponents shall ensure the implementation of further noise measures such as inclusion and/ or heightening of noise barriers etc or any other measure as agreed to by the EPA. 4. The report from the Director-General of the Department of Infrastructure, Planning and Natural Resources dated September 2003 regarding signing off of the approved modified design of the Brunswick Heads to Yelgun Pacific Highway upgrade states in Clause 34 “Monitoring of the noise when operational shall be undertaken as part of the Noise and Vibration Management Subplan. The proponent shall, in consultation with the EPA, assess the adequacy of the traffic noise mitigation measures. Should the assessment indicate a clear trend in traffic noise levels which are higher than the predictions made and exceed EPA noise goals, the proponent shall ensure the implementation of further noise mitigation measures such as consideration of open grade asphalt road pavement, inclusion and/or

Pin This Up Theatre Ushers

heightening of noise barriers, insulation of buildings, partial or total acquisition of properties or any other measure as agreed to by the EPA. Notwithstanding the above, the proponent shall ensure compliance with the noise assessment criteria as described in the EIS unless otherwise approved by the EPA’, and Council seeks compliance with this report. 5. Council request the Minister as a matter of urgency to take all steps necessary to comply with their own conditions of consent for the highway upgrade and ensure trafﬁc noise levels are reduced, including measures such as the removal or modiﬁcation of audible edge lines and the construction of sound walls on both sides of the Highway.

Strategic planning and climate change Council resolved to adopt the ‘BSC 100 year Climate Change Flood Planning Scenarios’ contained in the agenda for future flood studies and floodplain management plan projects and endorse their application as follows: a) For the Tallow Creek Floodplain Management Plan, Council will consider the results of modelling the Climate Change Flood Planning Scenarios and adopt a new Flood Planning Level (FPL) for Tallow Creek prior to adopting the final management plan. b) Future flood studies will model the 100 year event using the Climate Change Flood Planning Scenarios .The results of this modelling will be reported to Council prior to continuing with further modelling. 2. That Council adopt the following Climate Change Parameters: a) temperature increases of 0.7 to 5.6 degrees C by 2070; b) sea-level rises of 18 91cm by the end of this century; c) increases in rainfall intensities of 5 - 40% by the end of this century; d) increase in cyclone

intensities by 2050 of 10% to 20%, with peak wind speeds 5% to 10% faster, increases in maximum rainfall of 20% to 30% and storm surges increases of 20cm to 40cm. 3. That Council endorse a 100 year planning period as the preferred planning period for any strategic study, document, policy or plan that may be affected by climate change. 4. That pending incorporation of the Climate Change Flood Planning Scenarios and the Climate Change Parameters into all, or all relevant, flood studies and floodplain management plans and subsequently into all, or all relevant, strategic planning documents: a) Climate Change Flood Planning Scenario number 4 (#722339) be used for the purpose of all Council’s land use planning and operational responsibilities. b) For all large scale developments, major infrastructure upgrades, new land releases, rezonings and subdivisions in areas below 5m Australian Height Datum (AHD), an additional 1.0m to the Flood Planning Level (FPL) be applied and above 5m AHD, an additional of 0.5m to the Flood Planning Level be applied. c) For all large scale developments, major infrastructure upgrades, future land releases, rezonings and subdivisions, which are subject to any requirement for the completion of a new flood study, Climate Change Flood Planning Scenario number 4 (#722339) be used to prepare the flood study. d) For all infill development within existing residential and commercial/ industrial zones, the surrounding floor levels, building flood protection requirements and/or proposals and the existing Flood Planning Level be considered in terms of adequacy and assessment of risk prior to consideration being given to adding any additional requirements resulting from the Climate Change Parameters. 5.

That Council lobby the Government and State authorities to examine biophysical and socio-economic issues as they relate to New South Wales Planning and Climate Change. 7. That Council advise the federal Minister for Climate Change and state Department of Environment and Climate Change and Department of Planning of this resolution and seek their advice on and/or concurrence to the actions contained in the resolution. 8. That Council pursue grant opportunities to further examine climate change issues as they affect planning and infrastructure provisions. 9. That Council note that Climate Change Flood Planning Scenarios and Climate Change Parameters will need to be reviewed and/or updated upon receipt of further Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports and/or Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) or Department of Environment and Climate Change (DECC) recommendations. Crs Tucker, Woods and Mangleson voted against the motion.

New supermarket for Byron Bay Council voted to approve a three storey building comprising a supermarket and 260 bed hostel at 1 Byron Street, Byron Bay. A move by Crs Westheimer and Lazarus to refuse the development on the grounds of public interest and a shortfall in landscaping and landscaped areas as required within DCP 2002, failed 7-2. The site in question is the new development behind the Great Northern hotel. The hostel was originally intended to be a motel. ALP is meeting on Tuesday February 5 at the Ocean Shores Country Club at 6.30pm. Further enquiries phone 6684 3434 or 6685 1452.

For those unaccustomed to this area, please do not go in the dangerous surf and on no account drive your car into rushing water. Better not stick peas up your nose, either. Q Q Q Q A quiet NYE celebration in the Bay, aided and abetted by the weather, was all the organisers could have hoped for. In fact the bad behaviour reported was less than on many ‘normal’ weekends. Those who wanted to party hard had plenty of opportunity at events in the hinterland, including ‘private’ house parties which cost up to $50 a head.
