Robin imagines a better world

E P H E M E R A

Mates recall Matthew Kidson, loyal friend Eve Jeffery

The ever positive Robin Harrison beams with the prospect of an alternative future for all.

Story & photo Lou Beaumont

‘Imagine all the people, sharing all the world’... Lennon believed it to be possible. Robin Harrison definitely shares the vision and he believes it is time to make it a reality. He imagines current and future generations living together in energy efﬁcient villages of empowered, prosperous, creative people. He believes such sustainable communities, that combine current sustainability knowledge with corporate economic knowledge, could be the major growth industry for the 21st century. Globally we are facing unprecedented rates of population expansion. Until now, the only answer to such developmental pressures was suburbia. And, as Harrison points out, just as in any marketplace with only one product, that product will always be overpriced and substandard. Robin begs the question, ‘What if there was an alternative to suburbia? Fully funded, integrated, intentional communities have the potential to be considerably more attractive,

affordable and prosperous than suburbia. Village communities housed in high quality, sustainable dwellings – attractive to both investors and developers alike – would integrate sustainable methods such as permaculture, biodynamics, alternative energy, and most impor tantly, mutually empowering communication skills to live in harmony with the earth and each other. ‘The community group would be able to draw upon a multitude of individual skills to create a successful whole. Perhaps it is not the only option for our future, as humans are undeniably adaptable, but, perhaps it is the only option for a prosperous future. ‘In the global money market there is an enormous amount of money looking for a secure, sustainably growing investment home, preferably at better than market returns. There is the potential to offer superior products in both the investment and development markets, creating a corporate organism which,

in turn, produces superior products for a sustainable future. Such a corporate organism would be economically very powerful and certainly more rational than its alternative.’ Robin and friends have constructed a website www. livingsystems.com.au with the speciﬁc aim of making the connection between sustainability and corporate economic knowledge. Robin hopes it will explain this alternative opportunity and stimulate engagement from all walks of life. Robin feels strongly that this particular dream and vision is an amalgamation of many years and many visionaries. He believes it to be everyone’s vision, just as it’s everyone’s future. Any input on improving and enhancing the communication of this idea is welcome. Harrison hopes this concept will land under many corporate entrepreneurial noses. You may say he’s a dreamer, but he’s not the only one. Many have imagined for a long time that the world can live as one.

My name is Matthew. I like football, the beach and all sports. I just ﬁnished year 12. I miss school already. I hate people that are angry. Add (me) if you want but I am boring to talk to. These are the words written by Mathew Kidson on the first page of his My Space. Waiting On The World To Change by John Mayer is the song Matty chose for his web page guests to listen to. The rest of the page is full of tributes and the outpouring of love and sadness for a young man so deeply missed that most can’t believe he is gone. Matthew Ray Kidson was tragically taken from the world on the afternoon of Sunday January 6. He was thrown from the car he was driving when it collided with another on the Brunswick Valley Way and he died at the scene soon after. Speaking to those who knew and loved Matthew is to get a real sense of who he was: a ﬁne sportsman, a loyal

friend and a cheeky clown who could win anyone over simply because he was such a great person with a smile for anyone. Matthew was born in Shoalhaven Heads Hospital and lived at Nowra until he moved to Ocean Shores when he was eight, and many of the friends he has today were people who met him in those ﬁrst few months after his arrival, as Matthew, or ‘Kidson’ as his mates best knew him, was into everything. He gathered hundreds of friends as he travelled his path ﬁrstly at Ocean Shores Primary School then Mt Patrick’s College at Murwillumbah and through his association with several clubs. Joel Christie was Matthew’s rugby league under 18s coach for 2007. During the season Joel saw him four days a week. He said that Matthew was an excellent player who was in the rep team and in the academy squad. ‘He was a

brilliant kid,’ says Joel, ‘most people have something they are good at. Matty was excellent at sport, any sport. He was just good at it and he took his ﬁtness seriously.’ Joel felt, as did many others who knew him, that Matthew was a great team player. ‘His inﬂuence during a game was amazing. On the football field he was fearless. He lifted the other players and was a real protector to his team mates. I looked to him as a guardian for the team, because when Matty was out there we all felt safer. Others just didn’t have the same presence.’ Joel remembers Matthew as a happy person. ‘He was a massive lad but a big softie and I have never heard a bad word said about him. Even if he was mucking about at training I just couldn’t get angry at him, he had an infectious grin, you just had to laugh. Matthew’s club mates are broken hearted. ‘His team have all been hanging around continued on page 2

together every day. There are some really devastated kids out there, they are comforting each other.’ Matthew was also a member of the Brunswick Heads Surf Life Savers. He was travelling home from his ﬁrst shift patrolling the beach at Brunswick Heads when he died. Stuart White is the boat sweep and coach of the rowing team which Mathew joined last October. A week later he got his bronze medal. Stuart is another person who feels that even though he didn’t know Matthew for very long, the time they spent together was jam packed. ‘When you spend a lot of hours training in the boat and travelling to competitions you get to know someone pretty quickly.’

Stuart says he and the crew are terribly saddened by the sudden tragic loss of their team mate. ‘He was the sort of boy that everyone wished they could be like. He made everyone in the team get excited about competing and he gave everyone inspiration. He was not afraid of big surf and he got everyone geed up.’ The remaining members of the crew are doing the best to support each other. ‘The boat crew got together last Monday. There is only ﬁve of us including Matt, a small group and we are close knit. The boys have a plan to help each other through this.’ Best mates Sam Martin and Trent and Dean Richardson spoke to The Echo. They along with friend Sam Condie are the other members of the rowing team and

are still numbed by the loss. Dean was travelling in a another car behind Matthew on the day of the accident as they had both just ﬁnished a surf patrol together. ‘It was his ﬁrst patrol,’ said Dean ‘He was really happy about that. He had just got his Bronze a few months ago.‘ All three boys laughingly agreed that he was really excited about it. ‘He always wanted to wear the uniform!’ they said. Dean recalled his love of both football and his imaginary friends. ‘Bob Frawley was his invisible mate and he had an invisible sheep called Henry. I still don’t know how he made the noise of that sheep.’ ‘He did everything with a smile,’ said the boys, their words tumbling out over the top of each other in an effort to express how much they

loved Matthew, ‘Kidson was in the choir, he always said he made the choir cool. He had a cheeky grin that was infectious. No matter what he did he was successful at it, because he was a genuine person who was always accepting and inclusive. He never judged anyone. He was like a brother to us. He made us feel safe.’ No longer will his mates receive the famous ‘what’s doin’ text, Matthew’s call to come and play. His football coach Joel summed up what most felt. ‘If you spoke to Matty once or twice he was your friend. So many people who only met him once consider him a friend, he was that sort of person. When he died everyone lost a friend.’ The funeral for Matthew was held at Mt St Patrick’s on Monday.

Draft strategic plan for Bruns foreshore on display NSW Minister for Lands Tony Kelly has announced a draft strategic planning study for Crown lands at Brunswick Heads is on public exhibition. Mr Kelly said, ‘Now is the time for the community to have their say on the future of this important public land. ‘The study provides a stra-

tegic plan which revitalises the Brunswick Heads foreshore lands and improves public and commercial infrastructure under a cooperative and integrated planning and management framework. ‘It examines all of the Crown lands between the Bowling Club and the

Brunswick River, including land west of Ferry Reserve along the foreshore to the surf club. The study recognises Brunswick Heads is a coastal village in a unique location where the simple pleasures can be enjoyed and builds upon these unique qualities to improve connectivity between areas

and quality of enjoyment for residents and visitors.’ The study is on exhibition until February 22 and is available to view on the Lands website at www.lands. nsw.gov.au, Department of Lands Grafton ofﬁce, Level 1, 76 Victoria Street, and the Brunswick Heads Library in Fingal Street.

Skaters still wait for Bruns park Story & photo Eve Jeffery A few years is a long time when you are ten years old. Bibi Bradbury now 13, feels like he has been waiting forever to be able to skate in Brunswick Heads. Byron Shire Council has been to-ing and fro-ing about this issue and the kids are jack of it. Bibi’s dad David has also had enough. ‘There is a DA before Council. There have been a series of meetings and several attempts to speak to council. The kids get disillusioned as there isn’t any feedback from Council and it doesn’t seem to be progressing.’ David is concerned about safety issue with the kids from the north of the shire having to hitch to use a park. ‘I pick up kids all the time who are hitchhiking. They just want to skate but they have to go to Mullum.’ All Bibi and his mates want to do is to be able to skate without having to travel too far to do it. The people in Bruns CBD are getting sick of the kids on their footpaths and the kids are over using the paths. ‘I skate in town sometimes or over at the Mullumbimby park,’ says Bibi, ’but I can never get there unless Mum or Dad take me. ‘We don’t want to hassle the people in town. We try to get over to the Mullum park but on the weekend it is packed and the one over at Suffolk is even worse. At least if they had left the old wooden ramps up on the tennis courts we could have had some fun. But they took them down and kept promising us a new skate park.’ Byron Shire Councillor and Brunswick Heads resident Diane Woods feels for the kids. ‘It is essential for

Bibi Bradury and friend Mason Gwyther in the remnants of the old skating area at the tennis courts in Brunswick Heads,

these kids to have a skate park, and they get disheartened when we say it will happen and it doesn’t. The kids are learning at a young age

not to trust Council’s word because we told them it would be done by last year.’ Cr Woods says that the project is moving forward

but at a slow pace. The site at the Stan Thomson Park has been identiﬁed and the funds have been allocated but there are little niggling obstacles that keep cropping up. ‘We just begin to see a light at the end of the tunnel when another blockage appears,’ she says. As crown land the site was thought to not need a plan of management but it is a Council requirement. The plan, which was put on hold while the author went on holidays over Christmas, will go before council by March. The DA is currently being prepared and will be ready to be submitted to Council as soon as the other plan requirements have been met. The ‘Bruns SK8’ committee who is overseeing the manifestation of the park, are putting their all into getting this through. ‘It has been a complex process,’ says Diane, ‘it has been two years and we are still hanging in there. Some of the committee members have other jobs and businesses of their own and this is taxing of both time and energy, but they are doing their absolute best to push it through.’

Police wait on flood victim DNA test The body of a female flood victim, whose body was found near Williams Bridge at Main Arm last Wednesday January 9 during an extensive search, is yet to be formally identified. While friends of missing Main Arm resident and mother of three, Christy Moffitt, believe that the body could be that of their friend, Inspector Owen King of Byron Bay Police was quick to confirm that the body has

not been officially identified. Inspector King told The Echo, ‘DNA testing is continuing and we expect to have formal identification sometime this week.’ Inspector King also said it was not clear exactly what happened to the flood victim. It is believed she tried to cross the flooded causeway in her car which was subsequently washed from the crossing. The car, which was found

about 30m from the crossing, had its windows down and it is thought the woman was washed downstream as she tried to leave the vehicle. Her body was found another 100m from where the car was located. The search conducted by Police and SES volunteers was triggered by a missing persons report made to them on Tuesday January 8. The body of the ﬂood victim was found the following day.

Kite festival planned for Lennox Jann Gilbert As a child g rowing up in Holland Deborah Grea tbatch has many happy memories of fl ying kites with her father. So when she and husband Philip recently emigrated from the UK to the North Coast with their tw o young children and they couldn’t find a kite shop they just knew they had to open one. ‘Kite flying is such g reat fun for everyone; kids, adults, teenagers, all the f amily. There’s so much open space here.We have people coming in saying, “I want to get my son away from the computer” so they get a kite to get them outdoors. It’s a fun, healthy thing to do ,’ says Deborah. Since opening Cool Breeze Kites in Lennox Head only a month ago Deborah and Philip have enjoyed seeing more people discover the joy of kite flying, and they’d like to see it become a f amiliar part of the landscape on the North Coast. ‘We want to start planning for a kite festiv al on Good Friday this y ear. It’s traditional in Holland to fl y kites on Good Fr iday and w e’d love to see it become part of the lifestyle here,’ says Deborah. ‘We’d like to get the local schools and the com-

A competition for the most interesting design, with a gold coin donation as entry fee, would raise funds for local community organisations like the pla ygroup and the surf lifesa ving club, and we’ll donate one of our beautiful kites to the winners

Surrounded by family and friends, Mark’s beloved bike heads the funeral procession.

Jann Gilbert A large crowd of family and friends packed St Finbarrs Catholic Church to say farewell to a much-loved son of Byron Bay, Mark William Edward Wallace. In an emotional ceremony Mark was remembered as a decent, loving, devoted and gentle man who loved a chat. Eulogies from family and friends highlighted his pas-

sionate, generous spirit and his infectious grin and laughter. Mark’s daughter Tara described their unique relationship and told the assembled crowd that the ‘most important thing he taught me is that life is what you choose to do in the time you have.’ Sister Becky Wallace remembered a brother who could ‘turn nothing into something and that if one

word could describe him it would be true; a true brother, a true son, a true father and a true friend.’ Mark died suddenly in tragic circumstances just over a week ago following an incident in Tweed Heads. Father Anthony called Mark’s death an ‘incomprehensible tragedy that came without warning and left his family and friends devastated.’

Ryan’s lucky day in the surf Eve Jeffery Last Wednesday was the luckiest day of Ryan Cullen’s life. What started out as a bit of fun at the beach soon turned to terror when Ryan and three of his mates found themselves at the mercy of a rip on South Golden Beach. Ryan, who turned 14 last Saturday, is grateful he made it to another birthday after he and friends Katelyn, Ashley and Hughie launched a blow-up boat into the surf. ‘We were in front of the ﬂags, our parents always tell us “stay in front of the ﬂags” and we did, but it all happened in such a small amount of time, it just happened all of a sudden. One moment we were in the boat having fun, the next thing we were all panicked.’ Ryan says that the boat got caught in a rip and moved off the sandbank they were near. A wave broke over them and the boat capsized and too late they realised that they couldn’t touch the bottom. Ashley was able to get back into the boat and Katelyn and Hughie who were

further ashore got a foothold on the sandbank and managed to catch the next wave in while Ryan was being sucked out. ‘Ashley started to wave for the guard,’ said Ryan, ‘and I just tried to stay as relaxed as I could and remembered all the things I had been told, like not struggling. ‘I didn’t swim. I just stayed calm and waited for the life saver because I have heard that some people swim and get tired and that’s what stuffs them up. I just ﬂoated on my back, I thought that’s the best way of staying alive, then the life guard came out on a surf ski and picked me up.’ Stephen Leahy from Surf Life Saving NSW says that conditions have been rough and that life guards have been kept busy. He says the guard on the beach last week was Greg Meharg from Ballina, one of hundreds of guards who patrol our beaches and save lives on a daily basis. Ryan says that he and his mates made a card for Greg and took it along with some chocolates to the beach as a

thankyou, a very small token of their appreciation. Ryan’s mother Sue says that living near the beach has made them aware of the need to educate their children. It was her words ringing in her son’s ears when he was caught in the rip. ‘We have stressed to them what to do in a rip,’ says Sue. ‘Every parent should talk to their children about what to do in a rip. Even the strongest swimmers get in trouble. One minute you think you are safe the next you aren’t. ‘Life guards have got to be appreciated for what they do. My day could have ended very differently if not for his actions. I can’t thank him enough, words just can’t express it.’ And has Ryan learned his lesson? ‘You always think “how could something happen, just out there?” You never really think anything could happen. ‘We are glad we listened to our parents. I think we were too far out for the conditions. I am just so glad Greg was there, he saved my life. Life savers are true heroes.’

Batbus takes to the high seas The Batbus Youth Committee from Byron Bay High School celebrated the holidays by kayaking with Go Sea Kayaks in the Bay. The students have met regularly at the school through the year to support and advise policies for the Batbus and they were ready to celebrate with something different. Go Sea Kayaks organised a wonderful morning at a very generous price for this community group. Batbus management committee members and the coordinator Melissa Armstrong also went along. The kayaking trip was a great way to unwind by being both relaxing and challenging and an opportunity to see Byron Bay from another perspective. ‘The Batbus Youth Committee provides a valuable service by ensuring that the Batbus meets the needs of the youth of Byron Shire,’

Local man assists Brazilian children Eve Jeffery The third highest cause of death in the Farol district of Brazil is murder . This includes children. A nine year old boy was shot recently when he stepped out of his home and into the ďŹ ring line of a drug war. Sixty ďŹ ve percent of mothers in this area are prostitutes, and this can often lead to disease which they then bring home to their families. Child prostitution is rife and life is cheap. In fact itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth $480, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how much it will cost to support one child for a year in a part of the world where even an intact f amily will still go hung ry because there is not enough work for the adults to feed their babies, yet a few miles down the road in F ortaleza, millions of tour ist dollars are spent yearly. This is a country where the contrast between the r ich and the poor is visible daily. Ocean Shores resident Ted Harvey intends to raise $480 enough times to support 100 children for ten y ears. Ted, who is the founder of Rock Photo Aid, is already using the money he raised from the first exhibition of his long lost Led Zeppelin photos to support young Brazilian girl Debra. On a recent visit to Brazil, Ted met his sponsored child through an organisa tion known as CLUBINHO , a charitable program whose aim is to pro vide hundreds of Brazilian youngsters with at least one meal a da y, as well as clothing and the

The Rudd team gets to work Vol 22 #31

January 15, 2008

Corporate responsibility In 1906 the great American journalist Ambrose Bierce (see the appreciation society at www.biercephile. com) defined a corporation as ‘an ingenious device for obtaining individual profit without individual responsibility’. Not much has changed in a hundred years, you might think. Many large corporations act as if they are above the law and, in the rarefied atmosphere of the corporate boardroom, the directors can delude themselves they are indeed masters of the universe. This happened to media mogul Conrad Black and the high fliers at Enron, and in Australia, the young bloods of corporate excess at insurer HIH. However there are many corporations who are not just islands of greed in the sea of society but recognise their larger responsibilities to the community from whence their clients come. The Northern Rivers Social Development Council (www.nrsdc.org.au) is helping local business, and national companies doing business in our region, come to an understanding of the role of the good corporate citizen. On its website is a downloadable brochure developed by the Northern Rivers Regional Development Board which outlines Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). It suggests corporations look at the environmental impacts of their business, the ways in which they can provide community support, and the ethics generated within the corporation itself. The advantages of a good corporate citizen in the community are obvious. There are also benefits to the corporation – consumers are attracted to companies which give back to the community, take into account environmental concerns such as climate change by for example buying green power, and create a positive work environment for their employees. A recent good example of CSR is that of Southern Cross University setting up an education fund with Peter and Julianne Bowen through the auspices of the Northern Rivers Community Foundation (NRCF) – see story page 19. It will help students pay for their tertiary courses, something the federal government should be doing more of in any case. Any corporations – and smaller businesses – getting an itch to be socially responsible will find the NRCF a good place to start at www.nrcf.org.au. It is supported by an enthusiastic bunch of local donors who are happy to spread the philanthropy bug.

The Byron Shire Echo (established 1986)

nd this, as they say, is where the story really starts. The government is officially back to work preparing to launch itself across the uncharted seas of its election promises. It is not as if the holiday period has been entirely unproductive; apart from the headline items like Bali and Iraq, there has been a fair amount of activity behind the scenes. Legislation is prepared for the early elimination of AWAs, work is well advanced on an apology to the stolen generation, and a review is under way of the grants system to eliminate the corruption of secret ministerial vetoes and approvals and end the pernicious practice of stopping grants to environmental and charitable organisations that criticise government policy. A government vessel is on the track of the Japanese whalers in the Antarctic Protection Zone. All the new ministers are receiving a crash-course from their departments (and, it is to be hoped, vice-versa) and in spite of the snide comments of the Murdoch tabloids, it is considered unlikely that our workaholic Prime Minister has spent the entire break with his feet up watching television while drinking beer and eating party pies. However this is the week where it all starts happening – or at least the week when Kevin Rudd and his merry band start making the hard decisions about exactly what ‘it’ is going to entail, at least for the next couple of years. As has been made painfully clear, some of the promises, especially those made with the intent of neutralising as much as possible of John Howard’s farewell

bribe fest, were, to put it mildly, extravagant. The biggest and meanest of them, the elephant preparing to rampage through an already over-heated economy, is of course the tax cuts. Rudd did not quite match Howard’s bid of $34 billion; he had the decency to pare a bit off the edges. But $31 billion is still a lot of loot, no matter how you spin it. In a situation where the smart money is on yet another official interest rate rise in February and when the banks are already slotting in unofficial rises to preserve their record profit margins, it must at least be asked whether providing a hefty increase in available spending money is quite the conservative economic manage-

are promptly eaten up by increases in interest rates, never mind the wider damage that a spending spree would do to the economy. The clever thing to do, from both a political and an economic point of view, would be to hand the money back to taxpayers, but as superannuation, not as an immediate cut; this would avoid putting any pressure on inﬂation while returning the cash. But this would involve breaking an election promise, and no amount of Howard-style legalistic weaselling could deny it. In this case honesty is simply not the best policy, and the cabinet will have to make the choice. Welcome to the real world of government, Messrs Rudd and Swan.

As has been made painfully clear, some of the promises were, to put it mildly, extravagant. by Mungo MacCallum ment Rudd and his treasurer, Wayne Swan, boasted of during the election campaign. Obviously, Rudd is anxious to keep faith with the voters; he would seriously hate being accused of carrying on the Howard tradition of core and non-core promises. But keeping faith can be looked at in a broader context than just the tax cuts. Rudd’s overall promise was to reduce the burden on working families; for months we heard it every waking hour and one suspects that Labor members were mouthing it in their sleep. This is what he is pledged to deliver, and he simply can’t deliver it through a bonanza of tax cuts which

nd while they’re at it, the ministers might like to consider whether other aspects of the me-tooism they indulged in as strategic electioneering should really be considered immutable. The year opened with the leaking of a report from the Education Department which conﬁrmed what every student of the subject already knew: the Howard government’s schools funding policy is simply unconscionable. Even in its own highly dubious terms (grants to private schools are calculated on the basis of the postcodes of the areas from which students come) it has failed miserably. The distortions in the sys-

tem have gone beyond the absurd into the truly obscene. They have resulted in huge overpayments to some of the richest schools in the country; the ones that actually declare annual profits of millions of dollars. It will be recalled that one of Howard’s justifications for making the payments to schools which quite clearly did not need them for any recognised educational purpose was that it would enable the schools to reduce their fees; perhaps some of the children of the deserving poor could also partake of the underground centrally heated rifle ranges and the annual excursions to the cheese and wine tastings of southern France. It need hardly be said that this has not happened; fees continue to soar above and beyond the rate of inflation. The evidence is clear, the official verdict is in: the system is a crock, and a pretty corrupted one at that. And yet, Rudd made a pledge to keep it going until 2012. This is a promise that can and should be broken: it is a promise akin to one that guarantees he will keep burning down orphanages for the next four years because that’s what his predecessor did.The whole point is that he is not his predecessor: that’s why we elected him. If he made some foolish promise in the process, he can sort that out with his religious advisers. Politics, economics and common decency, not to mention a new report which provides a perfect excuse, demand that it be declared non-binding forthwith. He should take a deep breath and give it the flick. And then he might like to take another look at the private health insurance rebate…

Woolies/Mallams Mallams have sold out the Mullumbimby community after waging a ‘poor battler locals’ campaign to garner support for their DA. In fact one of their central arguments for their development was that if they, a trusted local family business didn’t do it, one of the big supermarket chains were likely to move in. Do you think that all the people who signed their petitions would have signed if they had known that they were signing for a megacorporation that is rapidly trying to gain centralised control of our nation’s food and fuel supplies? This is a major step backwards for community sustainability, one which I’m sure the majority of Mullumbimby residents do not support. I call for an immediate boycott of Mallams and to support the true community food outlets of the farmers markets, Santos and Dennetts. Recently a similar community to ours, Maleny, fought hard and failed to stop Woolies entering their town. The community now boycotts the store and its nearly empty aisles must be hardly turning a proﬁt. Can we go one better than Maleny and stop them coming here to begin the erosion of Mullumbimby’s community spirit? I’d like to think we can. The ‘Mullumbimby Mall’ DA should be anulled as it is now a completely different

LUCY’S FIRE & THE REBELS

Byron in an effort to reduce the numbers of cars in town. Northern Rivers Trains for the Future (NRTF), the community group behind the TOOT campaign, was formed in January 2003 (16 months before the service was axed) to voice growing community concerns about the deterioration of the line and to advocate for the introduction of commuter services. Far from being a belated ‘nostalgia’ trip, the support for the line was broad based from the outset with early participants such as Lismore Council, Byron Council, NOROC and NRSDC continuing to advocate for rail services.

Wasted money The current intention of Byron Shire Council to spend approximately 40 million dollars on the new Mullumbimby waste water treatment works raises some questions that councillors should be asking the director of BSC water and recycling. The current sewer mains have been suffering severe infiltration problems for over 20 years. The infiltration problems are so bad that a small amount of rain will cause sewer pumps to double their hours run compared to non rain periods. I used to witness this because as a sewer operator I had to record daily pump station run times. The more rain that falls the longer the main sewer pump stations in Mullumbimby run until they can no longer keep up with the inflow and overflow – eventually straight into the Brunswick River. The current operations manager has tried to solve the problem by using Council staff plus contractors without success. The Mullumbimby mains system is extremely old and deep in places and councillors should be asking if it is worth fixing or should the problem areas be replaced with a vacuum system. There was a figure

mentioned of $500,000 per year being spent on the mains system over the next three years. Do the elected councillors know what work will be carried out and how much money has been spent on this mains problem since 2003 and what sort of reduction in inﬁltration and pollution has been achieved? Mr M Murray and his committee have been asking questions about this problem for years. It must be extremely frustrating for them at the little impact this current management in water and recycling has been able to achieve in solving this problem. I am amazed at the lack of comment of our supposedly green councillors on this issue. Are you people happy to have the Brunswick River and the Mullumbimby area polluted with raw sewage each time we have heavy rain? Alan Dickens

Plastic bags I see that Peter Garrett, short of a real issue to bolster his diminished political reputation, is back on the ‘plastic bag’ trail. No doubt this will appeal to his greenie supporters and idealists in the Byron area, but not to the majority of other Australians. The much-touted canvas bags, in various colours, can now be seen littering garbage areas and community dumps. Does he consider banning them too? These people prefer to forget that the majority of Australians cherish their free plastic bags, used for everything from bin liners to nappy bags, cossie and wet shoe collection, picking up dog droppings inter alia… the list is interminable! Many stores now have biodegradable bags, if plastic were ever a real issue, so what’s the

problem? Just another kneejerk ‘policy’ to get the campfollowers back on the streets, I’d suggest. If we lose our ‘free’ bags then we’re just going to have to buy them. Maybe that’s the hidden agenda, a devil’s advocate might suggest, more business proﬁts for the plastic bag industry? Or does Garrett want to ban them too? Jon Cassar

Dog debate It may come as a surprise to Angela Dunlop (Letters, January 1) that I agree with much of what she says. But ﬁrst, let’s get one thing clear. My letter was in the context of accompanied dogs walking on the beach. To quote Shirewide statistics of dog and cat offences (eye catching as they may be) was off topic. Based on my experience of two years beach

walking, I still doubt that there are many dog attacks on dog walking beaches. Unfortunately, just as there are irresponsible parents (witness the uncontrolled behaviour of many children roaming around at all hours of the night drinking and vandalising in this shire), there are irresponsible dog owners. I and dog owners associations such as BARCO deplore this just as much as Angela and the Dog Watchers. But what is to be done about it? Angela gives a hint of where she is coming from when she darkly refers to dog owners being conﬁned to a smaller stretch of beach than they would like (we already are, Angela, haven’t you noticed?). Just how would this solve the very problem to which most of her statistics relate given that it is the freely roaming dogs that are the problem, not

LIQUIDATION SALE BEGINS

accompanied dogs on the beach? Is Angela aware that included in Byron Council’s tips for dog owners is a recommendation that dogs be exercised regularly in a leash free area? In this shire, that’s virtually the beach, or what’s left of it after the dog haters have their way. Crikey, Angela, they just about have the whole coastline already. Whether you like it or not, humans and dogs are an inescapable part of the environment. Let’s keep some balance in this debate. Bryan Milner

Main Arm plans The death of a woman, whose car was swept off the dangerous single lane causeway into Main Arm during recent ﬂooding, is a tragedy to her family and our community. This unfortunate and untimely death raises key concerns about future housing development in Main Arm. Why did Byron Shire Council approve the rezoning of four rural lots around Main Arm when it is a des-

ignated flood prone area? This major development will allow 48 new houses to be built in the initial phase, with another 50 more being considered for adjacent lots. The 1998 Byron Rural Settlement Strategy specifically states that ‘...flood prone areas are excluded from future rural settlement’.” In this last single storm only, four cars were swept off Main Arm causeways, and some areas were isolated for several days. It makes absolutely no sense to knowingly locate hundreds more new residents in a flood prone area, periodically cut off from town and emergency services, often for days at a time. Flooding significantly increases the risks of accidents, injury or death. This seems like really poor planning. If Council wants to continue to promote this illadvised development, opposed by virtually the entire community, it better make sure that the necessary road and other infrastructure are in place to mitigate problems during future flooding. This would include

Letters a brand new two lane bridge replacing the dangerous Main Arm causeway and making sure that Main Arm Road back to Mullumbimby is passable and safe during flooding periods. Also needed would be major upgrades to The Pocket Road, which has a two kilometre stretch of single lane road and five single lane causeways which are also impassable during ﬂooding periods. This would cost many millions of dollars which the Council simply does not have. Unless the developers come up with the money, perhaps Council should seriously consider knocking back this unwanted, unneeded development at the DA stage to avoid the responsibility and liability for future deaths and injury caused by ﬂooding.

Freight on rails

It’s great to see academics like Scott Niblock from SCU putting their minds to the potential for trains to reduce our collective carbon footprint (Echo, January 8). If the Rudd government is serious about its national emission reduction target, a comprehensive program to get freight back on the rails, where it belongs in the 21st century, is essential. Moving freight by rail is ﬁve to ten times more energy-efﬁcient than the best road transport and this physical reality is here to stay. It’s the concept of moving heavy freight in massive rubber-tyred vehicles on roads shared with cars that belongs back with meatworks and whaling stations, not rail transport (new French President Nicolas Sarkozy has endorsed no further increase in road Guy Fisher capacity in France). Road Main Arm transport in future will be

limited to hybrid trucks for very short trips or connecting with rail terminals. Newly elected governments seem to do all their meaningful reform in their ﬁrst term, before the big end of town ensures they stop working in the public interest (vide the Howard and present NSW Labor governments). Since the Iemma government won’t, the feds should take over the responsibility of ensuring a modern freight system in NSW. Of course B-doubles will be obsolete anyway once Peak Oil really kicks in (I predict a 50% price hike per annum for the next five

years). It was disappointing to hear Saul Eslake, ANZ Chief Economist, say the other week that there’s nothing the government can do about rising oil prices. If he widened his vision he would realise that building a strong, resilient economy is not about politicians (or the Reserve Bank) ﬁddling with the levers. It’s about having an appropriate vision and fearlessly implementing it. Our current exposure to inflation due rising fuel prices is matched only by the US and look where its economy is heading!

Articles Jann Gilbert Fifteen-year-old Marley Berry-Pearce got an unexpected Christmas surprise when his father Steve and step-mum Moira announced they were taking him to Melbourne for Steve’s birthday, and to catch the announcement of the John Marsden Prize for Young Australian Writers; a competition in which Marley had entered the ﬁrst chapter of his novel. While Marley knew he had been shortlisted for the prize, Steve and Moira actually knew he had won the Under 18 category for Short Story/First Chapter of a novel but decided to keep it under their hats and surprise Marley at the Awards. ‘Dad told me that his sister in Melbourne had shouted us the ﬂights for his birthday. I still had no idea, even when I got to the Awards. It wasn’t until someone said, “has your Dad told you yet?”, that I found out I’d won. It was so cool. I was spun out,’ says Marley. The John Marsden Prize is Australia’s largest literature prize for writers up to 24 years of age, and considering that Marley is only 15 it’s a huge achievement. Marley’s prize includes a $500 cheque and publica-

tion of his story in the quarterly Voiceworks magazine. Publisher of Voiceworks, Express Media, works closely with John Marsden throughout the selection process to shortlist and ﬁnalise the winners from a large pool of very talented young writers from all over Australia. Each year the prize attracts more and more entries.

Marley’s 3000-word, ﬁrst chapter entry was titled Water and focuses on the joys (and perils) of bodyboarding. ‘It’s part of a larger work I think but I’m not sure,’ says Marley. ‘I’ll just keep writing and see what happens.’ Although Marley might be unsure, comments from John Marsden about the story reveal why Marley’s

entry was chosen for first prize. ‘This story flows with all the energy of water itself. It has what most other entries lacked: authenticity, life, engagement with the reader. Not only does the writer appear to know surfing, he appears to delight in it, and in writing about it. The end of the chapter is truly shocking,’ says Marsden. Marley is still getting over the surprise of his win but that hasn’t stopped him from putting his prize money to good use. ‘I bought a Manchester United shirt because they’re my favourite team, and I’m also going to get some new high hats for my drum kit,’ says Marley. By all accounts Marley is not only a first-class emerging writer but also an accomplished young musician. ‘I play drums in a local band. We’ve just started getting into doing more gigs, and we’re recording a CD in late January,’ says Marley. Regarding plans for his future Marley says he would ‘like to study journalism and work on magazine feature articles.’ No doubt, in one way or another, we’ll be hearing much more about Marley Berry-Pearce over the coming years.

The courtship of Waltraud and Gustov Eichhorn Story & photo Eve Jeffery When you think of romance, images of ďŹ&#x201A;owers, candle-lit dinners, long walks and dancing until dawn spring to mind. The courtship of Waltraud and Gustov Eichhorn reads more like a spy novel than a Mills and Boon, with gun ďŹ re and mayhem the backdrop for a love that has lasted 60 years. The young German couple met at Coburg Castle which had been turned into a hospital during the second world war. Coburg is near the border of East and West Germany. Waltraud, a resident of East Germany, was 16 at the time, and one among many who were members of the Hitler Youth visiting soldiers in hospital, which is what was expected of teenage girls at that time. Gustov was a soldier who was hospitalised with shrapnel wounds which were deemed terminal. Their courtship began in Coburg and continued when a recovering Gustov was transferred to a hospital in Dresden, where he stayed until he was incarcerated, as most soldiers were, as a prisoner of war by the occupying American forces in 1945. All this time letters traversed the border between East and West and when Gustov was released from prison in 1947, he crossed the line and went in search of his lady love. The two escaped from East Germany with the border patrol ďŹ ring on them, the bullets literally wizzing past their ears. They returned to Gustovâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s village where they married on January 10, 1948, in the village church at Heilingenn Zell near the Black Forest, and had in the ďŹ rst year their son Rainer. Waltraud remembers her wedding day well. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Half the village came out to see us get married. They wanted to see â&#x20AC;&#x153;thatâ&#x20AC;? girl.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; The newlywed Eichhorns didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a honeymoon, it

In 1956 Gustov emigrated to Australia to ďŹ nd a new life for his family. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I came out first on my own for six months. I had to make sure it was safe here for us. I loved Australia straight away.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Gustov was employed immediately as a foreman with Permasteel in Sydney and he sent for his young wife and son, who arrived by boat on Australia Day in 1957. The family first lived at McMahons Point then moved to SmithďŹ eld into a house which soon after burned down. It was in Horsely Park where they started a pig farm which was one of the happiest times for Waltraud. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The farm was really hard work but it was wonderful. We loved our animals.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; When the couple retired from farming they moved to the house where they still live in Ocean Shores.

David, Goliath and the ﬁ ne art of complaining Jann Gilbert For some y ears now the clash of commercial interests versus community amenity has been on the local agenda. Unlike the good old da ys, when the community’s voice was strong enough and loud enough to temper commercial greed, the past few years and the inﬂ uence of greater corporate power has managed to reduce the v oice of community interests to a barely audible whisper. And woebetide anyone who dares to raise their v oice, particularly if it means questioning a local identity and leader of the business community. Following up a recent letter to the Editor that hinted at problems between a resident and the Green Garage, The Echo contacted the complainant, Lesley, who lives in the units situa ted at the rear of the Green Garage. For some time Lesley has attempted a resolution with management on a number of issues including the noise generated from the refr igeration units, which r un ‘24-hours-a-day, seven daysa-week’. ‘I’ve contacted them a number of times about noise from airconditioning or refrigeration units, and problems associated with rubbish including the smell

and the f act that it a ttracts rodents. Also about the wind setting off the alar m four nights in a row. But the straw that broke the camel’s back was the use of a genera tor parked outside the premises in Browning Street that was running from about 10 a t night until four in the morning when they w ere having some work done on the ﬂoors,’ says Lesley. What concerns Lesley most (apart from the noise) is the alleged attitude of the proprietor and management.

‘What’s really upsetting is not being heard or respected,’ says Lesley. ‘My original complaint about the airconditioning units being f aulty because they w ere on all night was basically ignored until the Council stepped in and they found tha t there was in f act a problem with the units. The manager, Sean, ordered me off the property. All I really w ant them to do is ﬁ x the noise problem with soundproofing and put up a par tition wall. Sean told me they

couldn’t afford to do this, which is basically just fobbing me off.’ When initially questioned about the issues regarding the Green Garage, proprietor and Byron United president Ed Ahern referred to Lesley as ‘a serial complainer’. After detailing some of the practical responses undertaken to resolv e the issues, Mr Ahern’s attitude towards further questions from The Echo regarding management’s treatment of Lesley evoked a similarly terse response of ‘No wonder people hate journalists.’ Council conﬁrmed that previous complaints, including the issue of the generator, had been successfully resolved however there was an outstanding complaint about noise that was yet to be investigated, and the small matter of a ‘restaurant’ on the premises tha t does not have development consent.

and people who do the right thing are disadv antaged by unauthorised operators. If people don’t play by the rules then it impacts across the whole commercial sector,’ said Cr Barham. Cr Tom Tabart also commented on the alleged noncompliance, saying, ‘I would expect the head of the chamber of commerce to be more responsible in his obser vation of council and state government regulations.’ No doubt, so would everyone. In the meantime Mr Ahern has lodged a complaint about Lesley with the Department of Housing (DoH), who are Lesley’ s landlords, regarding alleged abusive behaviour towards Green Garage staff . Lesley denies the allega tions and has sent an affidavit to DoH in response to the complaint. ‘I was really upset, ’ says Lesley. ‘They (DoH ) w ere threatening to evict me. I might have been sarcastic but certainly not ab usive,’ says Lesley. ‘I’ve been putting Resolving issues ‘Council has used the nor- up with these issues for some mal methodology for non- time now and have felt percompliance and issued the secuted because I had the proprietor with ten da ys audacity to complain.’ notice to remove or respond,’ Good neighbours says Mr Darney. ‘Most busiIn his la test response to ness people are quick to the problems Mr Ahern resolve issues with Council commented that he ‘disputes and given that we’ve had no any negative relationship problems with resolving with neighbours’ and claims other issues at the premises, he has ‘a good rela tionship we would expect the same with his neighbour s apart with this one.

Education Fund donation provides opportunities for local students Jann Gilbert As a struggling engineering student in the 1970s Dr Peter Bowen remembers well the support from government and private sponsorship that enabled him to complete his studies. In order to acknowledge the assistance he received Peter wanted to put something back. Together with his wife Julianne, they decided to set up an endowed education fund in conjunction with the Northern Rivers Community Foundation and Southern Cross University (SCU). The Southern Cross University-Bowen Education Fund has been established with donations of $25,000 each from Peter and Julianne, and Southern Cross University. Investment income from the Fund will be used to support scholarships and bursaries for students who show outstanding academic achievement, but may be facing ﬁnancial hardship. ‘It’s important for people to get a good education,’ says Peter. ‘However, financial circumstances often make that difﬁcult for many people, particularly in regional areas. We wanted to support the Fund and also encourage others in the community to contribute to it.’

Donations of money and goods were received from a number of local companies. We would like to publicly thank • The Crystal Castle • Mullumbimby Chocolate Shop • Bridglands Retravision • The Echo newspaper for helping to make the festive season special, for a group of individuals who experience mental health issues on a daily basis.

From left, Peter and Julianne Bowen, Southern Cross University Vice Chancellor Paul Clark, and Northern Rivers Community Foundation Chairman Christopher Dean.

Vice-Chancellor at SCU Professor Paul Clark welcomed the very generous contribution from Peter and Julianne as ‘an exciting development in the support of student education and achievement.’ ‘It’s a great pleasure to form this partnership with the Northern Rivers Community Foundation. Southern Cross University is committed to providing opportunities for people who have the ability and drive to further their education, but

who may be ﬁnancially disadvantaged,’ says Professor Clark. ‘This is a long-term scholarship program, which we hope will grow signiﬁcantly in the coming years. It will complement our existing scholarships, which are supported by a range of businesses and individuals within our region.’ Peter and Julianne believe the Fund is an appropriate way to acknowledge the help that Peter received and to show their support for young

Aspects of novel workshops return The popular Aspects of the Novel creative writing workshop series is back in 2008 with an impressive new set of presenters and a revised format. Now a cornerstone of the Northern Rivers Writers’ Centre program, these workshops are equally suitable for new or emerging writers and provide the opportunity for participants to develop their writing skills from blank page to ﬁnal draft and build on their progress month by month. The workshops will be held from February to May this year and several master classes will also be offered in the series, enabling more

experienced writers and past participants to take their skills to another level. Kickstarting the series this year is Flow, a workshop designed to get the writerly juices pumping. Presented by Sydney author and creativity coach Sally Swain, pictured above, this workshop

explores simple, enjoyable techniques that will get the words pouring onto the page. Sally’s first book, Great Housewives of Art, was an international bestseller and she has specialised in group and individual creativity coaching since 1993, running her very successful Art and Soul workshops for major writing groups.

We appreciate the time and commitment of our volunteers and wish to say thanks to; • Thrillbilly Stomp • The Mulberries • Athel for making our Christmas celebrations fantastically entertaining. We would also like to thank our weekly volunteers who facilitate different workshops; Linda the ever relaxed meditation and yoga instructor and Margie our creative art teacher.

ep, that is it, holidays are over for another year so now back into it. Several hundred thousand colours in solid coloured mirrors, that’s what glass splashbacks really are. Remember only in glossy magazines are things perfect; in real life anything apart from perfect is possible. If you believe this then welcome to the real world. Buildings are similar to jigsaws, the main difference is jigsaws are made in one piece and then cut out. Buildings are thousands of different pieces that are cut out and hopefully go together into one piece. Buildings are not perfectly level and plumb. The edge work on toughened colour coated glass is a true straight edge so any gaps are due to slightly out of perfect buildings and that is life in the real world. All professional tradespeople know this and a large majority of the general population know this to be true. Australian Standards for 6mm toughened glass is plus or minus 2mm. Australian Standards for 10mm toughened glass is plus or minus 4mm. This is because the glass panel is heated in a furnace which expands the glass (makes it bigger) and then rapidly cooled with air (makes it smaller). Unlike just about every other building product used toughened glass cannot be altered in any way once it is manufactured. No

cutting, drilling, grinding or altering in any way. Remember if you or your client has never seen what is commonly referred to as glass splashbacks then come on in to Ocean Shores Glass and Screens and have a look at the real thing. Even if we are not doing your job we are probably applying the coloured coating to it. That is right we do work for the majority of businesses around the Byron, Ballina and Lismore Shires. On a different note if there is any one out there in BAY FM land in charge of sponsorship would they please telephone Peter on 6680 3333 to change our spiel that has been the same for about 2 years and yes we agree with all the beautiful people who would like to hear something new.

A match made in neurons

Thinking through life cycles

Why should couples have all the fun on Valentines Day? This year the joke will be on them as local singles get the chance to step onto the stage to take part in dating game show BrainDate as part of the Big Joke Comedy Festival in Bangalow. BrainDate is looking for single folk with a GSOH to take part in the dating games as devised by BrainDate host the Gold Brain, aka former Mullumbimby medic Colin Gregory, pictured right. BrainDate will put six singles on the stage at the Bangalow Bowling Club to ask them questions aimed at revealing the inner workings of their minds. The Gold Brain said the premise behind BrainDate was to match lovers whose minds worked in similar ways.

Lose Fat lose centimetres

Last year I lost 25 kilos. Everyone keeps asking me: how did you do it? There is no magic answer. No treatment, device or potion can get rid of excess weight. I did it the old fashioned way. Diet and exercise. I gave up booze, sugar and high GI carbs. Initially I was worried that with the fat I may also lose my personality and become one of those pious health nuts. I am pleased to say I am still afﬂicted with a healthy sense of cynicism, and am still a pain but in a slightly smaller ass.

A few months ago I was approached by The Body Oasis to trial a cellulite treatment called Endermologie. At ﬁrst I was a bit deﬂated. I had lost all that weight but my thighs and butt still looked like porridge in a body stocking, and someone had noticed! I am an advocate of ageing naturally and believe there have to be a few of us pioneers who say no to botox, tit jobs, butt lifts and liposuction. It’s called going with grace. Otherwise future generations may never get to know what an old woman actually looks like. I had never heard of Endermologie but was immediately suspicious. I imagined some invasive fat vacuum. I was assured that it was originally developed to treat scar tissue in burns victims. Turned out that their skin texture improved and cellulite disappeared. It’s this funny little roller

device that sucks and kneads connective tissue and triggers fat cells to release fat, while simultaneously stimulating the body’s blood and lymph ﬂow. It also boosts collagen and elastin production to give your skin a healthier rejuvenated tone.

I’m like ‘yeah, sure it does’. I have to admit, I thought that Nancy from the Body Oasis must be confident, because I told her that if I didn’t think the treatment worked I wouldn’t endorse it. In ten 35 minute treatments I was amazed. In fact I’d eat my words if they weren’t so high in carbohydrates. We did the initial weigh in and measure up, and in just 3 weeks with absolutely no kilo reduction I had lost 5cm off my waist (fluid retention) and 2cm off my thighs. My upper arms had lost 1cm each in circumference and the flappy bit that hangs over the bra under the arm (I call that the lady scrotum) had reduced from a bulge to an inoffensive curve. It was very relaxing (like a deep tissue massage) and left me feeling invigorated. I have a noticeable cellulite reduction and have just knocked back a request to be the centrefold for the next Senior’s Monthly. Only women get cellulite, and only men get man boobs. Endermologie will also reduce those man titties and love handles. Like me, its totally natural and it works.

Maggots! There’s lots to be said about finding them! For several thousand years they were seen as the creatures at the very crux of life. From dead and rotting matter, they came into existence. They were living proof of spontaneous generation. Some forms of life were observed to simply come out of inert materials. Folk recipes from the 1600s include making bees in two weeks by setting half buried, hollowed out carcasses of bulls in an open field. Mice were to be had within a month from mouldy bread or hay wrapped in sweaty rags. So, in 1668, what was the Italian physician and poet Francesco Redi thinking? He set out three sets of flasks all with rotting meat, but one was open to air, one was sealed tight and the other covered with gauze. Maggots only appeared on the meat in the open flask. History says he wanted to show his understanding that maggots were orderly, as befits Creation. They came from flies’ eggs, rather than arising by chance, at random. But in 1745, Needham, a Scots cleric, took the issue to a deeper level. He also set out flasks with boiled broth in them. He was pleased to announce that even with the seals in place, microbes still grew in the old soup. Spontaneously. How can we sense the changing moods of those far off times? Voltaire, among others, denounced Needham as an atheist and incompetent scientist. In 1768, Spallanzanni, an Italian priest, repeated Needham’s experiment but with a variation. He sealed the flask, drew off part of the air, and then boiled the broth. He explained how he believed microbes lived in the air and could be the origin of the rotten growth. The result – a broth still clean days later – was celebrated throughout Europe as a philosophical victory, with science as support. In 1860 the Paris Academy awarded Pasteur a prize for his variation of the broth and flask experiment. After

Pasteur put the broth in the ﬂask, he made a kink in the glassware so air could enter but not airborne microbes. The broth was boiled and stayed clean. The explanation was that microbes in the broth were killed and ones in the air were prevented from contaminating the broth. Spontaneous generation didn’t happen and all was right with the world. In this same time period, van Leeuwenhoek used a microscope and publicised the existence of little animals: protozoa and bacteria. Microscopes became more powerful. Everywhere, people now found microbes as well as tiny eggs. Microbes had life cycles, which sterilisation could interrupt. Needham’s work was now seen to be the typical result of partial sterilisation, not heresy. All organisms could be clearly seen to come from eggs. Inside eggs could not be seen any little versions of adults but a whole new world of growth and process: embryology. Two hundred years of religious debate and political upset gave way to new knowledge and a renewed sense of wonder. In the same time period, witch hunting came and went: the last victim was executed in Poland in 1792. Monarchy in England went from divine right to constitutional. Both Australia and New Zealand were wrenched from traditional ways to be new colonial outposts. The United States arose from the thirteen American colonies of England to first

independence and then civil war. Confederate physicians in that war developed the therapeutic use of certain maggots which would only eat the infected ﬂesh of wounded soldiers. Maggots became allies. They are used even today, ordered from laboratories that grow certain species in hygienic conditions. Not only are they packed into human wounds and ulcers, but also into the infected hooves of horses. The old horror of the common fate for kings and fools alike – digestion by worms and maggots — is seen with more detachment now. The various species of maggots and the ages of their larvae are part of forensic science which can infer the timing of mysterious deaths. We also can appreciate that the life cycles of these decomposers are important for the circle dance of life in which we are all part. And whatever happened to those centuries old ﬁerce religious debates? Ideas of spontaneous generation are on a new level now. Human understanding imagines and investigates origins of life billions of years ago on earth and in outer space. But arguments still rage on that personal and vitriolic level. If we could only, on one hand, let our logic grow. Meanwhile, on the other hand, fed by other experiences altogether, nurture our feelings of the numinous.

FUNKY FOOTWEAR Local photographer Arthur C Bird deďŹ nitely has an eye for the birds (the feathered variety, naturally). As a Byron Bird Buddy, Arthur has been photographing shorebirds in the Shire for over 20 years and has built an enormous collection of photographs.

Wanting to stretch his creative muscles with his photographic work Arthur started playing around with the images and came up with a graphic process that gives his birds a distinctly different look. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a simple idea but the effect is quite dramatic,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; says Arthur.

Ocean Shores Glass & Screens Confused about Vetrocolor and painted splashbacks? It’s a special two pack applied to the back of glass, giving you a Ànish like a solid colour mirror. It can be applied over existing tiles in most situations with no grout lines, and it enhances and colour coordinates your decor. In bathrooms and spa/sauna rooms, it doesn’t allow water egress to the substrata thus eliminating extensive damage to the rest of the house. It also works brilliantly in kitchens.

Gina Yashere iss quite possibly the funniest woman an on the planet right now. In the UK, K, it’s impossible to see her in anything hing under a 1000 seat theatre, and nd in LA where she now resides, she h iis something hi off a celebrity after making it through to the final rounds of Last Comic Standing. Standup wasn’t her first career choice. She started out as a lift engineer. ‘I studied engineering, and that’s what I thought my life was gonna be’, Gina says, ‘I was working for Otis – I was the first female engineer they’d ever had in their 100 year history, and they didn’t know what to do with me. Promotions were like gold dust already, and being a woman in the field, the odds were even lower, so I took voluntary redundancy. While looking for my next job, I did some open spots for a laugh, and the rest is history!’ Being part of a reality program can be an eye opener. It’s ruthless. I asked Gina what she learnt from being on the show. ‘I learnt it’s not always the best person wins, and that when there is US$250,000 at stake, integrity goes out the window. YOU HAVE NO FRIENDS!!! Also, don’t read the internet forums: some people will love you, some won’t. I had times of wanting to kiss some people, and stab others!’ Gina describes herself as a loud, cheeky, friendly, conversational comic. She is engaging from the get go. The minute she hits the stage, she’s the chick you wanna hang with. She’s not into changing the world, she’s into making you feel good. This girl is damn funny. ‘My subjects range from talking about my family and upbringing, to the news, to colonic irrigations... I’m an entertainer. That’s it for me. I wanna make you laugh.

hilarious, then you aint gonna hear ‘em.’ Every comic has their worst ever gig. It’s the stage death that you never saw coming. Gina Yashere shared her most cringeworthy gig. ‘My most recent was a corporate for a huge company in Scotland for a Robert Burns night (famous Scottish poet). I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I’m not Scottish. I knew it was gonna be a tough gig, but the money was so good, I thought I’d risk it. I was on after two famous Scottish comedians, so I was the headliner. Cut a long story short – I died the kind of death which had me waking up in cold sweats for about 2 weeks after. It took about 10 killer shows after that to reset my Gina-is-funny-o-meter.’ Gina is an English girl living in LA and now performing in OZ. How does that affect your delivery? ‘Australians have a similar sense of humour to Brits, so I basically cater my stuff to the local audience, i.e do a few jokes about wherever I happen to be, and what I’ve observed, and I can pull out whatever material in my repertoire I think they’ll like.’ Gina is a three times winner of Best Female at the Black Comedy Awards. ‘The Black Comedy Awards were set up as alternative to the British Comedy Awards, as black comics aren’t really acknowledged there. It is harder for us to get TV shows, as a form of tokenism exists in British TV. One black person gets a break every 7-10 years at the moment. To be acknowledged at the Brit awards, you have to have a TV show or a lead part in one. Even the award for best live standup is ﬂawed, as it is based on the comics who have had the biggest selling tours-which

In a lot of her media, Gina has been hailed as the next Whoopi Goldberg, why not the next Robin Williams or Chris Rock? ‘In my mind, I’m competing with Chris Rock, Seinfeld, David

Letterman. These are the careers I aspire to. I don’t compete on colour. I compete on success. ‘It has been easy being noticed as a black woman, I had to work a lot harder to prove myself. I’ve now built a reputation in the UK as a consistently funny comic, so I can work any club in the UK, and I’m on my way to also establishing this in America.’ Gina Yashere headlines at the Byron Services Club at The Pandanus Lounge on Monday with Ellen Briggs, Gina Baker and me as MC.

By the time you read this I will have turned 40. The big four-Oh! Despite the constant media barrage about the sudden onset of stretch marks, drooping knees, ﬂappy tits, spider veins and stray chin hairs, I have never had an issue with ageing. I have never thought of myself as young or old, and if I were to describe myself, I would be tempted to say: ‘a middleaged woman with a tendency to dress like a teenager.’ I have a well documented esteem problem. It’s unnaturally high. Even at my fattest and most tragic, I have always considered myself hot. People say, ‘Wow, don’t you feel great since you’ve lost all that weight?’ The only difference is that my photos now look like what I thought I looked like. So in my head nothing has really changed. Until the banana incident. The other day a

friend dropped off a couple of kilos of green bananas. They sat in my kitchen for days, alluring and full of promise, but inedible. We were all waiting for that fragile nexus in time when these underage nanies would be ripe and ready for consumption. But I missed it. In the middle of the silent night these petulant pillars of potassium had peaked. For a glorious hour they were ripe. Perfect. Soft but firm sweet banana flesh. A culinary orgasm of mouthwatering ecstasy. By morning they had turned. The skins had grown blackened, with tiny cracks, allowing putrifying flesh to seep through, in a sugar filled soggy sap. The smell of the bananas filled the kitchen. I stood barefoot and not pregnant and had an epiphany at precisely 7.25am just ten minutes before the first coffee of the day. I was a banana. I had gone to bed a green banana and woken up brown. When had my peak been reached? How had I missed it? Like the banana, had I reached it in the night? Even my skin felt different. Wet and soft. I

So I wanted to make banging tunes – tunes that people can bump to and be ignorant to.’ Educational and entertaining? They said it couldn’t be done! Dizzee Rascal plays the Hotel Great Northern in a Big Day Out Sideshow on Wednesday 23 January.

GIVING MUSIC A WURLITZER Matt Hill and Cleis Pearce are both music geniuses in their own right. Quite unassuming but ridiculously talented types, they tend to hang at the back of the room, conspicuously inconspicuous. But give each an instrument and they are both gloriously centre stage speaking their shared mother tongue: music. Matt and Cleis have been playing together in various forms for the past 10 years and this Friday they appear at the Bang Thai in Bangalow as a duo with Matt on the wurlitzer and Cleis on violin. Matt Hill is a composer and keyboard player who has recently returned to the Northern Rivers area after stints in Melbourne and Townsville. He plays keyboard and is the sound scape co-designer with the group Amphibian with whom he has recorded 3 CDs, toured internationally and

throughout Australia. Cleis is well known and regarded as one of the most exquisite violinists in the country. She is a regular performer at major festivals including appearances at Woodford and Bellingen, sharing the stage with Greg Sheehan, Rob Mackenzie, Kev Carmody, Jez Mead, James Cruikshank, Gyan, Steve Elphick and many others. For Cleis, music has always been about the timeless, sacred dimensions of existence and consciousness. The show is free but as the events in Bang Thai’s ‘coming up next’ series regularly sell out, it is recommended to book in advance to avoid disappointment: 6687 2000.

JOANNA NEWSOM & FRIENDS For such an impressive lineup, I have so little information. One thing I do know about Joanna Newsom, is that she is a January 18 baby just like me. A birthday shared with John Denver and Paul Keating. Auspicious huh? (Boring men and top chicks). Newsom is a harpist, pianist, harpsichordist, singer and songwriter from California. Newsom studied composition and creative writing and after touring with Will Oldham she was quickly signed to Drag City and released her debut album photo: Wiggy

SOMETHING TO BRAG ABOUT

FEELING DIZZEE School might be out for summer, but Dizzee Rascal will be dishing out lessons. Only three albums and 21 years old, Dizzee’s equation is complex and compelling: hip hop + grime + ragga + rock + electro + garage + found sounds + whateverfires-his-imagination = Dizzee. Or maybe the sum reads more like: distinctive vocalist + rapid-fire MC + old school rapper + thoughtprovoking lyricist + funny guy + razor-sharp tongue + ragga toaster = Dizzee. Man I am dizzy just thinking about it. Whichever way you add it up, the math is sound. Dizzee is the kid who won the Mercury Music Prize with his debut album, 2003’s Boy in Da Corner, is now leading the pack with his third long-player, Maths + English. Although Maths + English was born of lofty ideals, its ultimate mission is to move you. ‘It started out with a lot of more reflective tunes about how sad shit is and what a fucked up world we live in,’ says Dizzee. ‘But then I started listening to old OutKast stuff, Young Jeezy, Dem Franchise Boyz, that

The Milk-Eyed Mender in 2004. Shortly thereafter, Newsom toured with Devendra Banhart and her proﬁle has risen. Newsom’s work has become prominent on the indie rock scene mainly due to her penchant for the avant-garde, and her ability to perform bewitching 7-and-a-half-minute songs. Spunk Records in Australia is celebrating its 10 years as a record label on Monday and is bringing a stellar lineup to the Bangalow A&I Hall. Appearing with Joanna Newsom and the Y Street Band is Spoon, Jens Lekman, Andrew Bird and Jack Ladder and Holly Throsby. The event kicks off at 6pm and is something of a mini-festival.

BEHIND THE SACRED KIRTIN Angelika is an internationally known performer, songwriter and recording artist, who dedicates her life to uplift, inspire and heal through the gift of her angelic voice and music. Angelika’s music reﬂects divine beauty. It is a gift to her and others to help soothe, heal and inspire, to remember who we really are, cutting through the ﬁlters of the mind to the essence of spirit. She does this by singing ancient Sanskrit healing chants, mantras, prayers in many

connects us and takes us back to our more primitive and essential selves. For the ﬁrst time in ten years, Austrian Reinhard Flatischler, the founder of the holistic group learning process known as Ta Ke Ti Na, and co-leader Cornelia Flatischler will be coming to conduct a workshop in Bangalow. Developed more than 35 years ago, Ta Ke Ti Na leads participants to their innate rhythmic knowledge as rhythms are layered directly into the body through stepping, clapping and the voice. It’s one of the most efﬁcient ways to learn rhythm, and its holistic approach creates an exhilarating inner silence as well as a wellspring of musical creativity. This simple, fun process is deeply relaxing and meditative, and requires no musical experience. Ta Ke Ti Na is part of the curriculum at music conservatoriums throughout Europe, and most recently at the University of Music and Performing Arts, Vienna. It is part of theatre, dance companies and corporate training programs and is used in pain management and psychotherapy, as well as in prisons, drug rehabilitation programs and communication programs. Ta Ke Ti Na creator Reinhard Flatischler hails from Vienna and teaches at universities in Europe and

Brazil, while also leading his international supergroup Megadrums, which includes Airto Moreira, Zakir Hussain, Glen Velez, Leonard Eto and others. He also researches ‘rhythm and pain therapy’, and is a scientiﬁc member of the Society for Music in Medicine. The ‘Rhythm for Evolution’ happens 7 – 9 March in Bangalow.

ANDY WAZ ERE Having visited the Andy Warhol exhibition in Brisbane recently the Wazporter Band have taken to wearing soup cans outﬁts on stage. This is not as it may seem, a statement about everyday products becoming icons with instruments, but more about the bands love of eating soup. Toby Andrews will be onion ﬂavoured, Ryan Squires pea and ham, with Waz playing the classic thick tomato. Bring your bowl to the Rails this Wednesday.

FILM SHORTS FOR THE SOUL

BROADFOOT BILLI Mullumbimby band Broadfoot are attempting to rid themselves of their reputation as rainmakers when they perform at the notoriously ﬂood prone Billinudgel Pub this Sunday arvo. While accepting responsibility for the rain Broadfoot don’t feel obliged to apologise because they don’t do it on purpose. Their rainmaking abilities seem to be astrologically based – each of the four members of the band are of earth, air, water and ﬁre zodiac signs – the combination of which joined rhythmically and harmonically in the form of a rock and roll band causes dramatic meteorological events to occur. Or it could be the major lows hitting a few highs and then hanging off the coast...now that’s a very Mullumbimby way of looking at it. Broadfoot take to the stage at 2pm and play until 6pm.

RED LAUNCH Local singer songwriter Ray Red launches his new CD at the Rails on Tuesday. He’s opened for acts like Big Audio Dynamite and the CD was given The Critic’s Choice star by Billboard magazine and they stated; ‘a new release, regardless of chart potential, highly recommended for musical merit.’ I hear one of Ray Red’s songs on ZZZ the other day, and was impressed by his breezy style. Each year he performs in the Hamptons area of Long Island in the US. His new release Touching Indians will be available at the gig.

Flickerfest returns to the Byron area for the eleventh year in association with Island Quarry to present three nights of short films which showcase some of the best films the world has to offer. Currently achieving record numbers at Bondi, this internationally recognised event just gets better every year. Last week I detailed some of the films, this week after viewing a selection I can assure you that they are fantastic. Like Silence is Golden, a film about a loony neighbour. Of The Harvest, a film about a farmhouse lady who had put up with her lazy husband’s drinking habits and idle talk. Gritting her teeth she has swallowed all the crap and focused on her work instead. But there is a limit to everything. When the man turns a deaf ear to her opinions, you won’t believe what she does. The Friday and Saturday night feature the international program and Sunday features a showcase of homegrown Aussie animation. With opening drinks on Friday from 7.30pm ($16/15) and Saturday and Sunday kicking off with films at 8.30pm, for just $10/12, it’s a great culturally expansive night of entertainment. Bangalow A&I Hall, Friday to Sunday.

Men with too much time on their hands and their hands on their... hang on, I think I’m onto something here. If you haven’t seen Puppetry than you have missed out on a genuine piece of Australiana – the boys played theatres all over the world, appeared on Jay Leno, ﬂashed a then living Anna Nicole on her show, played a Royal Command Performance and much more. It’s an hour and a half of amazing penile achievement. Stuff you thought couldn’t be done. Stuff you thought that shouldn’t be done. All performed and projected onto the big screen so you don’t miss a dick trick. Puppetry of the Penis is a must for every woman who has wanted to really enjoy the male genitalia and have a good laugh. It’s a must for blokes, and I might add is down right de-mystifying. Brave, bold & ballsy, Puppetry of the Penis rocks...(with cocks). Be there with bells on. Hotel Great Northern on Thursday. Tix are at the venue.

WAYWOOD GALLERY AS PART OF THEIR EXHIBITION ‘OCEAN NARRATIVES’ – OPENS ON FRIDAY

MEET THE OZBORN As a female audience member, I have to admit, Joel Ozborn has the ‘phwoar’ factor. As a rule of thumb comics are usually a little challenged in the looks department and have a dress sense to match. You go to comedy for the punchlines, not the perve. White volleys and baggy stone-washed jeans just don’t say sex appeal. Enter Joel Ozborn, a new cut of comic. Groovy, gorgeous and very very funny. Joel Ozborn also had pulses racing at the Adelaide Fringe when one reviewer gushed: ‘I fell a little bit in love with Joel Ozborn. This tall nonchalant Eric Bana looka-like was perfect… went down a treat in a packed house. People were rocking backwards and forwards, holding in their stomachs and letting out shouts of laughter.’ Now 29, Joel ﬁrst got a taste for comedy when he was just 12 and found himself in the company of magicians. ‘When I was 12 I snuck into one of The Amazing Jonathon’s shows. It wasn’t just the magic. I was blown away by his standup and this guy Jonathon who would kill on stage. When I heard the audience roar on stage I thought this is what I want to do! It was an epiphany. I got to know him better and I went and saw his show another two times and from that I met Akmal, because he was opening for him at the time. I was 15 and Akmal was really nice to me, I would go and see All Aussies are booftas with him and Anthony Mir.’ Akmal and the Amazing Jonathon have been comedy mentor’s for Ozborn, who opens for Akmal at the Sydney Opera House for their 12 – 21 January season. ‘I love performing in a theatre environment (as opposed to a regular comedy club). You can be yourself. You can be more vulnerable and give yourself, rather than just getting quick pub laughs. Dick jokes are for pubs, in a theatre, they want a bit more depth, they want to know who you are – it allows you to explore a lot more. For the last 4 months of last year I was working with Arj Barker, and he was saying that by the end of the tour he noticed how I went

FLICKERFEST AT THE BANGALOW A&I HALL FRIDAY – SUNDAY

from looking for the laugh to exploring it. It really works better and is creatively a lot more freeing, you get to work stuff out, and discover things.’ For Joel, the crucial step to becoming a comedian was about discovering who he was on stage. ‘Woody Allen once said, that it’s not the material, it’s the comedian, the people are there for the comedian. The persona has to be something that evolves. You see people that love Bill Hicks and get up and do fuck this or fuck that. It doesn’t work. You can’t fabricate anger or that outlook when it’s not really you.’ So who is Joel Ozborn? ‘The person you are up there becomes the extension of you or a magniﬁed you – I don’t know, I didn’t give it that much thought, it just happens. I still think I am ﬁnding who I am up there.’ Joel Ozborn appears with Peter Berner and Nick Sun at The Big Joke Comedy Festival in Bangalow at the A&I Hall on Saturday 16 February under the moniker: ‘Think, Thank, Thunk’ at 8pm. Tickets are $37.50. For more program details and to purchase a ticket go to www. thebigjoke.com.au or phone 6687 2000.

KARAOKE FOR KIDS

JOEL OZBORN THE BIG JOKE FESTIVAL FEBRUARY 16

Are the kids driving you mad these hols? Looking for something creative and interesting to expand their minds, rather than lock them in front of a telly or a computer, or a playstation. Get them up in front of a microphone – they are all such amazing budding performers, even if they’re not the best singers, they love giving it a go. Bangalow Bowlo are putting on a Karaoke arvo for kids from 3pm - 6pm Friday.

ART WATER STORIES ‘Ocean Narratives’ is the exhibition of exquisite contemporary oil paintings by Heika Braha and reﬁned kiln formed glass by Bronwyn Fee. Both are accomplished artists as well as being tutors with ACE Byron Shire and, in a very original way, these two artists from different media have worked together so that their works in painting and glass complement each other and could be purchased together. The two artworks rather than detracting from each other, simply emphasize the best of each medium. Braha and Fife collaboration

has created a wonderful ﬂow of colour, texture and form inspired by the depths and movement of the deepest ocean. Sunlight travels through the glass that is superbly coloured and this light shines across the multi layered surfaces of the oils. Transparent lead crystal glass ﬁsh in shimmering colours swirl in front of a turbulent abstract ocean represented in rich blends of turquoise, cobalt and ultramarine blue. These paintings and glass sculptural pieces are more than purely decorative, each one contains a moment or element of heightened awareness brought into its form.

with Jackie Onassid

THE DISPENSETRESS AND THE ART OF GIVING MC Puss‘n’Booty shot to our attention when singing for pUsS with an attitude that possibly corrupted an entire youth at Splendour in the Grass 2005. By 2006 Slot Machine with MC Puss’n’Booty on vocals again made it to Splendour and rocked the tipi-zone and subsequently EarthCore, Big Day Out and last year’s Exodus. Slot Machine are two dance music producers, a go-go dancer, a vocalist and a repertoire that includes Electro, Drum’ n’ Bass, Glam Punk Rock and Breaks. By describing their act as a bastard-love-child of the four members and after inciting group sex via their performance, one could comfortably say they have smut written all over them. With song titles such as No Fear, The Quick and the Dead, Black Widow, Dispensetress and Plug in Turn on, Puss’n’Booty certainly has my attention already. I’ve asked the dispensetress-of-lyrics herself about her past, present and future allure. Q: You have an extensive musical and performing history, how did it all start? A: My father dropped me at the ballet studio when I was ﬁve and he asked me, ‘do you wanna do this?’ I was always singing as well and I learnt piano and guitar when I was seven. I did music in school as well as theatre and performing arts graduating with a music degree in Jazz.’

Q: Your lyrics are tonguein-cheek, they are also very spiritual which one could easily overlook because you seem to address spirituality on a different note, what is the art of giving to you? A: ‘It’s kind of like putting things in the broadest perspective possible so that the ideas are accessible to people whether the message is spiritual or political or in any other way challenging. People get turned off by terminology.’

Q: Please elaborate on what we get to graze our eyes on and bend our ears to when you’re performing live? A: ‘The live show is a mixture of theatre and cabaret. We try to make each show unique by changing our costumes as well as adding themes depending on the gig itself and the audience we think we’re going to be performing to. Performing in a club for instance is different

than performing to a crowd at a festival.’ Q: Your current projects and releases? A: ‘I just came back from Japan where I did a track with Funky Gong from Joujouka for his solo album. Slot Machine is ﬁnishing the ﬁrst album to be released this year and I am collaborating with other producers for various solo projects as well. Slot Machine’s music is being used for a TV commercial

and a new series called ‘Underbelly’. We’re planning to tour Japan mid year.’ If you’ve loved Slot Machine’s DJ-set at Exodus, programmed and performed by Sean Candy and Nick Taylor, you’re going to beg for more at the end of their live show February 16 at the Great Northern.

THE CONCEPT THAT THERE ARE NO ACCIDENTS TAKES ON NEW MEANING THIS WEEK AS THE LINKS BETWEEN CAUSE AND EFFECT GROW MORE OBVIOUS AND THE INTERCONNECTEDNESS OF EVERYTHING MORE APPARENT. PATIENCE AND TOLERANCE ARE ARGUABLY THIS WEEK’S HARDEST, BUT STILL MOST WORTHWHILE AND PROFITABLE EXERCISES…

ARIES: Present astral energies have business hormones pumping, and this is one of the year’s ﬁnest times for tightening ﬁnancial leaks and planning new money moves. But do your homework carefully and get

as many different points of view as possible so you can make an informed choice. TAURUS: A gung-ho goahead time for Taurans, so resist any Lot’s wife type temptation to look back longingly at the past. While new ideas might seem daunting, they’re worth serious consideration because this week career, relationships and creativity all beneﬁt from a fresh approach. GEMINI: Your ruling planet Mercury in mischievous, resourceful Aquarius is guaranteed to provide plenty of amusing adventures in this week’s group manoeuvres. And this weekend Moon’s a beauty for shimmying your booty, shaking your tailfeathers and taking your dancing shoes out on the town. CANCER: The stars are ripe and the time’s right to take a long, hard, unsentimental look at your gifts and abilities and choose the best way to make use of them this year. Doing what you really love – not just shrinking your thinking to what might be economically possible.

LEO: The present star scenario supports your plans for this year, though not necessarily in ways you expected or imagined. Rethinking priorities will be necessary before you can get what you want and where you’re headed – more of some things, less of others. VIRGO: With an earthy grand trine rendering present energies Virgo-friendly, this week’s success depends on how much pleasure you’re getting from what you do. If either work or play isn’t enjoyable, give stale routines the boot, decide what you’re passionate about and do more of it. LIBRA: Your planetary boss lady Venus in Sagittarius promises a week of vivid socializing, sudden insights and unexpected experiences with unusual people. If Uranus is giving you a case of itchy feet and tempting you into new territory, this is an auspicious time to follow its lead. SCORPIO: This week’s planetary lineup has the ingredients you need for getting down and determined about the business of getting your year into gear. Try not to take things too seriously though, because what’s bothering you won’t even be

an issue in a week’s time. SAGITTARIUS: There’s not a lot of divine fire in either the cosmic climate or planetary weather conditions at present, but Venus of the charming ways is giving Sagittarians a glamorous dazzle where friendships, partnerships and groups are concerned. You’re this week’s hot item. CAPRICORN: Don’t worry too much if some things just don’t seem to add up this week. The present grand earth trine’s a superb period for reveling in the pleasures of the senses and why not? This is a beautiful world – enjoy it while you’re here. AQUARIUS: You can be as wickedly sassy as you want right now, because with Mercury in your sign this week your radical talents can’t help but shine. Current projects get extra star support for the next fortnight, so take advantage before Mercury retrogrades on the 28th. PISCES: If a past pattern is repeating itself, you could make this the final replay because this week’s auspicious for completing something that’s been going on for a very long time. New plans and ideas are waiting to manifest, but old ones need finalizing first.

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

Stephen Solomon showed typical persistence and resilience to win his first Australian Championship title in Sydney on Friday. After 13 unsuccessful bids for the biennial national title – including twice losing a playoff for first place – Solomon was forced to exhibit his legendary survival skills to emerge from the 11 round contest undefeated. Opponent after opponent could claim that they had enjoyed a superior or even winning position against the Queenslander but none man-

off 2007 by scoring 4.5 points from his final five games to snatch first place. As expected, the 2008 Championship also proved to be a breakthrough event for a new generation, with two members of Australia’s 2007 U/16 Olympiad team, Max Illingworth and Moulthun Ly, finishing only a point behind Solomon; Sydney’s Illingworth missing his first International Master result by just half a point.

aged to convert their advantage into a full point. At 45, Solomon has sometimes been written off as a spent force but the Queenslander led the tournament from the start and then overcame many nervous moments to finish just clear of a fast-finishing George Xie. The race for the 2008 title was complicated by the fine showing of two foreign players who were ineligible for the title, Grandmaster Dejan Antic and International Master Herman van Riemsdijk. Brazilian veteran Van Riemsdijk played outstanding chess throughout the event and could even have taken the $1,500 first prize but for suffering his only loss of the tournament in the final round, against Xie. In the end it was Antic who continued 2008 as he had left

Television Guide 1. Best of the week is O Brother, Where Art Thou? the Coen Brothers’ version of Homer’s Odyssey. Set in a meticulously recreated American Depression, it has three convicts on the run, incredibly funny performances from all concerned and great bluegrass music. Channel Ten chooses to broadcast it at 11.40pm on Sunday night. 2. On the other hand if you are an insomniac and you aren’t interested in a film made by creative artists at the top of their form, why not try some indigestible science fiction stodge made by a man with too much money and an unhealthy worship of Scientology founder Ron L Hubbard? John Travolta produced and starred in Battlefield Earth (NBN, Sunday, 12.40am) which is based on the dated and unstylish SF of his idol.

AMERICAN GANGSTER There is no best time to go to the flicks when it’s raining in the school hols. Somewhere nearby will be a gaggle of airheads with the attention span of a gnat who lose the plot after ten minutes and fidget and talk for the duration (‘I thought he was already dead’). Sartre was right about other people, but don’t let that stop you from seeing this terrific movie. It’s the true story of Harlem crime boss Frank Curtis (Denzil Washington), who amassed power and fortune importing heroin from Thailand in the sixties, and how he was brought down by the persistence

of investigating ofﬁcer Richie Roberts (Russell Crowe). The questionable charismatic outlaw syndrome is a constant, that idea most clearly illustrated by a scene in which Curtis distributes turkeys to the poor at Thanksgiving. Maybe it actually happened but, having already cast Washington, always a good guy, as Curtis, director Ridley Scott gets worryingly close to elevating a character unworthy of esteem. In the machinations of plot and dynastic ambition of its protagonist, there is a lot of The Godfather, but it doesn’t scale those formidable heights and it’s tricky putting your ﬁnger on why.

to Curtis and Roberts, the film suffers for a want of unity – it’s a bit too broken up. Whatever shortcomings there are, none can be attributed to the leading men, whom you wish could be on screen together much earlier than they eventually are. Washington manages the part of businessman, psycopath and family man with great depth and, in a role that allows for no flash (he is a less flamboyant Popeye Doyle), Crowe, carrying a few excess pounds, is in his element. News footage of the Vietnam War begins to reflect the fate of Curtis as Richards homes in on his elusive target. Period recreation is hit and miss (and never as richly evoked as Don Corleone’s), with the best moment being at an Ali-Frasier title bout. This event also marks a turning point in Curtis’s career (as it did Ali’s), for, by wearing the sable coat and hat given him by his wife, he ignored his own maxim that the loudest man in the room is the weakest. Without it ever being gratuitous, as is Quentin Tarrantino’s penchant, Scott includes moments of uncompromising brutality and drug use, but the end result doesn’t quite match the sum of its polished parts. ~ John Campbell

I AM LEGEND The last lonely man scenario has been an evergreen in literature and cinema ever since Daniel Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe was washed ashore on his deserted island in the early eighteenth century. Plugging in to our age’s prevailing fear of apocalypse adds a pleasing plausibility to this story and, with the terrifying ‘dark seekers’ (aka zombies, and yikes! nightmare zombie dogs too!) thrown into the mix, you know you are in for a rollicking good time. Instead of Greenhouse, it is a virus which has brought the end of days to the planet. The drolly named Dr Krippin, played by Emma Thompson with a mouthful of ghoulish teeth, announces at the outset that the cure for cancer has been discovered. But what people were being injected with was a serum that turned them into cannibalistic loonies. Humans devoured each other worldwide, leaving our hero, Robert Neville (Will Smith), holed up on his lonesome in New York, stayin’ alive and working on developing a new serum, using his own blood, which will counter the rabid one. His Man Friday is Samantha, a beautiful

German Shepherd. Sam was just a pup when, at the time of the outbreak, Neville’s little daughter handed her to him as she and her Mom were being evacuated by helicopter from Manhattan in a futile attempt to quarantine the island. That was three years ago. Since then, Neville, with the loyal dog his only company, has ﬁnally stumbled on the restorative formula. The weedy, deserted streets of the great metropolis are convincing and the the zombies are marvellously grotesque, if not as personable as those in Thirty Days Of Night, and, like all of their ilk, they cannot be caught in the light – God help us all if zombies are ever able

to cope with daybreak. And, again in keeping with tradition, there are always more of them, no matter how many of the bastards you mow down. A ripper movie, with an undeniable Stephen King feel about it, it is only a bit spoilt by the silly deiﬁcation of Bob Marley and the cringeworthy bible belt symbolism in its closing message. Special mention must be made of Abbey, the mutt who played Sam in the ﬁnest canine performance since Rin Tin Tin: ‘I cared heaps more what happened to the dog than I did him.’ I could not have agreed more with my niece. Who said the young were irredeemable? ~ John Campbell

Victoria Cosford Sarah de Nardi runs her own Food Media company, an agency which ďŹ ts people to food-based projects, tests and writes recipes, writes about food and travel, creates food advertising and produces cookbooks. She is, in her own words, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;very very busyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, juggling a family of three small children with a lot of work-related travel, not to mention a busy husband who runs a fruit and vegetable wholesaling business. The latter, of course, poses distinct advantages when it comes to being prepared for entertaining. Sarah loves to entertain but these days will do so on an informal and often impromptu basis. The well-stocked larder, pantry and freezer are mandatory â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Sarah has not only a pantry full of things in jars but a back-up pantry where there is more of everything, so she will never run out. In the freezer is always her own chicken stock, pastry shells, meat, pesto, herbs from whenever there has been a glut of something, pre-soaked chickpeas, ground-up nuts, peeled broad beans, home-made pizza bases, fruits like mangos, berries and peaches which can be turned into cakes, smoothies or daiquiris. Whenever Sarah cooks she will try to double the quantity in order to freeze it for later. She claims that a lot of her â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;styleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; has developed as a result of being a mother, and that being better prepared for entertaining is a by-product of being well-prepared generally. More of a rustic cook than a ďŹ ne-dining one, she ensures that there are always two vital ingredients in her refrigerator: a tin of duck fat (essential for her roast potatoes) and a block weighing about four kilos of Parmigiano Reggiano (could this be my dream fridge?). Chryss Carr is the managing director of creative marketing and public relations company AUM; she spends a lot of time travelling interstate and is the mother of a teenage daughter. With what sounds like a contradiction in terms, she answered my question â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;are

you busy?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; with the comment that yes, she was extremely busy balancing her life! Part of this balance is about food, and as far as Chryss is concerned, food is just fuel, and only to be consumed if it has nutritional value. Furthermore, unlike my other women, she is antifreezers because she believes it is more natural to eat what is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;right here right nowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, and that if she ate a lot of frozen food she would turn into a cold person. Well, she may have a point: she is toasty-warm, a vibrant and beautiful woman of Greek background â&#x20AC;&#x201C; even if she then goes on to say that she is antisugar too! I am fascinated to know what she serves when she entertains after I have stopped being relieved that she actually does entertain â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and certainly her descriptions of whole baked ďŹ sh stuffed with coriander, ginger, chilli and turmeric, freshly juiced green apples and ginger to serve with vodka and generous platters of Greekstyle appetisers like dolmades and olives reassure me sufďŹ ciently. For desserts, she relies on the Golden Door cookbook which offers a great range of sugar-alternative sweets. She buys wholesale from Santos each month, tries to eat raw food whenever possible, and uses a lot of superfoods such as bee pollen and blueberries in her daily life. Her permanently wellstocked pantry is a shrine to organic food: the peeled tomatoes, olive oils, ďŹ&#x201A;ours, rice, pastas, porridge, honey, rice syrup are all organic. Fruit and vegetables she buys daily, preferably from farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; markets. The rice cooker is her best friend in the kitchen, and she subscribes to the belief that you are what you eat. And yet any notion of holier-than-thouness that might be expected in someone who lives so carefully is instantly dispelled by the occasional sight of Chryss sitting in front of her computer with sunglasses on greyly describing the rather too many bottles of red wine consumed during the previous eveningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entertainment...

Their responses are surprising, refreshing,, and as distinct from each other as the chefs themselves, while the intimate portraits are informed by ns their answers and reveal the passions cted and personalities of the most respected names in the business. The guest chefs â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Jonathon Waxman from the USA, Fergus Henderson from the UK and Vimal Dhar from India â&#x20AC;&#x201C; will join local chefs Neil Perry, Guillaume Brahimi and Philippe Mouchel and will take the opportunity to showcase their particular cuisine in various restaurants within the Crown.

Sports Roundup with Eve Jeffery

The day the music died at the SCG John Campbell I can’t ever recall not being fond of Australia’s cricket captain. Some, notably Graham Yallop, who was out of his depth, and crybaby Kim Hughes were less than inspiring, but the likes of S R Waugh, A R Border and even chatterbox M A Taylor were men to be admired. Tasmania’s R S Ponting is a different kettle of fish. Routinely unshaven and not bothered with the nicety of changing out of soiled creams during a break, beady-eyed Punter has a unique way of chewing gum that makes it look as though he is rolling a swollen maggot around on the tip of his tongue. Worse, he has also managed to make a champion team universally disliked in the cricketing world for the way it plays the game. Bad losers are one thing, bad winners are reprehensible. And that is what we appear to have become. As skipper, the buck stops with Ponting, but is he merely a child of his times, a mirror image of the mob on the other side of the fence? Is he the monster created by the Frankenstein that is the Australian sporting public? To give him his due, Punter is as cunning as a shithouse rat. The turning point at Sydney, in what became one of the most

controversial tests in recent times, came in Australia’s second dig. Ponting arrived at the wicket and Anil Kumble immediately introduced the Sikh off-spinner, Harbhajan Singh, into the attack. Bhaji has the wood on Punter and, as in a boys’ own melodrama, he got our captain out with his first delivery. Storming back to the sheds in a purple fury, you could almost see the bubble above Ponting’s head: ‘Will no one rid me of this turbaned beast?’ Then - ping! ‘Of course, the match referee!’ The plot to wipe out Punter’s nemesis was hatched.

For ages Australia has been known as a team of relentless sledgers. A classic example is attributed to M E ‘Junior’ Waugh. The laid back twin, fielding in the slips, called to an Englishman at the crease, ‘hey mate, you’ve got a turd at the end of your bat.’ The batsman reflexively looked at the bottom of his willow. ‘Other end,’ Waugh quipped, to guffaws all around. It’s funny, in a way, but six hours a day of it? Following the ‘when in Rome’ line, but without a finer understanding of what is acceptably offensive, Bhaji called Andrew Symonds, a

player of West Indian extraction, a monkey. It was a racial slur and totally unacceptable. Ponting’s incendiar y response, though, suggests that his precious boys can dish it out by the truckload but are unable to take it when it is hurled back. Hitherto, they have sanctimoniously maintained that what is said on the field stays on the field. Not anymore. Ponting dobbed in Harbhajan to officialdom and when the dust settled the Sikh had been banned from participating in the last two testsof the series. Kerry O’Keeffe, in the

Lennox Playgroup

ABC commentary box, predictably dismissed criticism of the side as being part of the ‘tall poppy syndrome.’ Hands up if you can remember when irreverence was considered an admirable Australian trait. Now we are meant to fawn over movie stars, pop idols and sport celebrities. The brouhaha conveniently diverted attention from the manner in which the Australian team goes about achieving its victories. Not content with having nearly all of the contentious decisions go their way, our mob, with Ponting, a graceless and petulant character, showing the way, played like a pack of schoolyard bullies. Adam Gilchrist’s appeal for a catch off Rahul Dravid was shameful. Dravid’s bat went nowhere near the ball and good bloke Gilly, witnessing it under his nose, would have known that. If he did, by kidding the umpire into believing that he had taken a legitimate catch, Gilchrist did something abhorrent: he cheated. Indian commentator Harsha Bhogle is right – if you want to wear the cap of piety and proclaim your honesty, as vice-captain Gilchrist frequently does when modestly explaining why he walks, then you must be one hundred per cent honest.

Otherwise it’s like being a little bit pregnant. It is simply not possible. But for mine, among a number of indictable incidents, Michael Clarke’s standing and waiting to be told he was out after snicking the ball straight into the hands of Dravid, not two metres away, was appalling. What are they teaching our young sports people? Apart from the tripe that they go on with about the baggy green (have you noticed the nauseating way in which Matt Hayden and Phil Jaques, aping him, stroke the Australian ﬂag as they leave the sheds?), are there any worthy values being instilled in our flannelled Jihadists? The Indians are no angels, but Anil Kumble was justified in paraphrasing the Aussie captain of the bodyline series, Bill Woodfull, who famously remarked after an ugly day’s play, ‘there was only one side playing cricket out there today.’ Let us hope that our team has rediscovered its moral compass in Perth, for the manner in which the Australian XI deports itself is a reflection of the national character. The recalcitrant R S Ponting either doesn’t get it or, happy to trample over traditional sporting values in pursuit of a win, just doesn’t give a rat’s.

Sports Roundup with Eve Jeffery Mullumbimby Tennis Club holds court

Mullumbimby Tennis Club coach Justin de Candia gives club president Greg Southern a few backhanded tips. Photo Tree Faerie

You can turn on the tube at this time of year without ﬁnding yourself looking at someone slogging it out on a tennis court. Between the Australian Open, the Hopman Cup, the Davis Cup and the various state open tournaments, there is enough tennis over summer to satiate the hungriest of fans. Tennis is one of the world’s favourite sports, with most countries participating and the reason is that it such a great game. It requires skill and speed, strength and it also has enough scope for tactics to placate the interlektchals, while at the same time it is a game that anyone of any level of ability can have a go at. Tennis is a game you can play for life. It is a perfect way to maintain health and ﬁtness, get a great workout and have fun at the same time. The Mullumbimby Tennis Club has a long and proud history and is continuing forward in leaps and bounds. The club committee will be saying a fond farewell to two of its great supporters, the husband and wife, secretary and treasurer team of Dave and Jeanie Runciman

will be stepping down from their positions of fifteen years at the AGM which will be held next month. Club president Greg Southern says that it is people like Dave and Jeanie who have put the club in such great shape. ‘We have been left a wonderful legacy from previous coaching staff and committee members and we are now building on that great foundation.’ 2008 will see the club getting a start on a court resurfacing program and other works around the club. The club offers tennis for age groups and skill levels, including competition tennis and social play. The club is also fortunate to have in his fourth year of coaching at Mullum, Justin de Candia a TCA coach who takes both private and group classes and has been the coach of up and coming players Stephen Gort who is off to Texas on a scholarship, and junior Gene Healey who will be a player to watch. ‘Tennis has been good to me ,’ says Justin, I have been coaching for seven years. This facility here at Mullumbimby is the best on the north coast and we want to share it with everyone.’ To this end the club will

be holding two open days over the next two weekends. This is a great opportunity to see the facilities of the club and try out some new racquets. Two international racquet companies Head and Volkl are providing demonstrations packs of tennis racquets. About 30 racquets will be available for people to try out. There is no obligation to buy, and the demo racquets will be available for sale at a reduced price. Justin will be giving tennis tips during both days and there will be activities, mini courts and low impact balls for children, as well as a sausage sizzle. The courts are located at the recreational grounds in Byron Street Mullumbimby, near the netball courts. The AGM of the Mullumbimby Tennis Club will he held at the clubhouse on February 13 at 6.30pm. All members are invited to come along. Open days will be held on January 19 and 26 from 3-8pm. If there are any members who would like to volunteer on either of the open days or if you would like more information about the club, phone Greg Southern on 0427 788 773.

Austswim qualiﬁcations invaluable Teaching children to swim would be not only a satisfying career choice, but also a helping hand in the regional community. NSW Sport & Recreation are offering an extensive range of Austswim Accreditation courses and workshops. ‘New statistics from Royal Life Saving NSW still reveal that regional NSW had 8 drowning related deaths in 2006/2007 for children under 14 years of age, this being an increase from 2005/2006,’ said Debbie Grant of NSW Sport & Recreation. ‘The more qualified Austswim instructors we provide in the region, to teach people of all ages to swim, we hope will reduce this ﬁgure.’ The Austswim Accreditation courses will be held in Casino, Grafton, and Mul-

lumbimby from February to April 2008. Workshops will be available in Ballina, Coffs Harbour and Lismore. Workshops allow Austswim accredited instructors to maintain their skills and accumulate professional development hours. The Austswim certiﬁcate is valid for three years and includes both theory and practical sessions. The course is of national industry standard for those wishing to teach swimming. NSW Sport and Recreation will also have courses to teach swim coaching. The Nationally recognised course – Junior Coach & Assistant Squad Coach – is a fantastic additional accreditation to hold for potential swim coaches. This course will allow the instructor to learn advanced swimming skills and the mechanics of swimming.

Parents are reminded that even children who have under taken swimming classes should still be supervised when they are in the pool, and those who are supervising toddlers in and around the pool must make sure that they are always within arm reaching distance as it takes only seconds for kids to slip under the surface. Austswim Accredited instructors are in your area. It is important that children learn to swim as much of their recreational time is spent near water. An Austswim Accreditation will also expand prospective employment opportunities. Participants must be 16 years or older. For bookings or further information please contact NSW Sport and Recreation on 02 6618 0400 or visit www.dsr.nsw.gov.au.

The Mullumbimby RSL Memorial Band Fund commmittee sponsored Lorne Greenlaw from Ocean Shores so he would be able to compete at the NSW State Championships over the weekend at the Sydney Olympic Pool. Lorne a year six student at Ocean Shores Primary, swims for the Twin Towns Swimming Club. Lorne swam several qualifying times at recent regional carnivals and performed well at the competition. He competed in races on both Saturday and Sunday and successfuly achieved 2nd place in the 200m, 3rd place in the 100m Butterfly, 4th place in the 200m freestyle and 9th place in the 100m backstroke, all of which were personal best swims.

Lennox Surfer in opener semis The Kustom Jetty Surf Pro Junior is the ﬁrst event for 2008 and the richest ASP Pro Junior event in the southern hemisphere. It features $35,000 prize money across three divisions: Pro Junior Boys $30,000, Pro Junior Girls $4,000 and the Cadet Cup $1,000. Lennox Head surfer Stuart Kennedy made it through to the quarter ﬁnals at the event. This was already a big result for Kennedy as it’s the opening and biggest Pro

Junior event of the season. Number One Seed Julian Wilson was eliminated in searing temperatures at the competition last Thursday.
