Woodchoppers in full swing at Bruns Story & photo Eve Jeffery With so much rubbing, scrubbing, polishing, oiling and buffing, a spectator would think they were watching preparations for a prize pet parade, or a show and shine for hot rods. All this love and attention was lavished last week on a pile of wood. Logs to be precise. Banner Park became a poplar beauty salon as axemen and women prepared their wood for the chop. The 48th annual Brunswick Heads Woodchop managed to forge ahead with barely a drop from the sky. Chief handicapper Shayne Maxwell from Brisbane said the conditions were good. ‘It was overcast for most of the carnival and there were a few spots of rain,’ he said, ‘but it didn’t affect us at all. We didn’t have to stop events because of the weather.’ Event heats were battled out over the four days, where 118 competitors met from Australia and overseas. One hundred and eighty heats took place for thirty ﬁve prizes. Spectators were treated to a wide variety of cutting including the underhand chop, the standing block, tree felling and cross cut sawing. The twenty ﬁve member volunteer ring crew, without whom the event would not be possible, have a national reputation of being one of the most professional on the circuit. The crew kept the competition moving along at a fast pace with the arena and the log yard a constant hive of activity of stacking, denailing, sweeping and raking. The Brunswick woodchop has

Australia Day Australia Day activities are planned throughout the Shire for this coming Saturday. See a full program on Byron Shire Council’s website at www.byron.nsw.gov.au. The ofﬁcial ceremony will be held at the Brunswick Valley Historical Society Museum, Summers Park Stuart Street, Mullumbimby (wet weather venue: Byron Shire Council Chambers) from 11.30am to 12.30pm.

become a top event on the circuit, attracting the cream of both national and international competitors. The standard of competition was high and even though the battle was ﬁerce, there was also a great sense of camaraderie between the sawyers and axemen and women, many of whom brought their families along. Favourite events for the spectators were the relay where three

axemen teams raced from the underhand chop to the standing block then onto the tree fall, with one team having a 72 second handicap in the event that lasted only a few minutes. The other popular race was the Jack and Jill cross saw event which featured a mixed couple team. This year the ﬁnal was won by champion husband and wife sawyers Jason and Karmyn Wynyard from New Zealand, the pair travelling to

Opossum Creek Bridge to be demolished and replaced The partially collapsed and closedoff Opossum Creek Bridge is now to be demolished, says Byron Shire Council. ‘In September 2007, Opossum Creek Bridge was closed in the interest of public safety after it was identiﬁed that the eastern abutment of the bridge had par-

tially collapsed,’ said Council in a press release. ‘Council had intended to leave the bridge in place while the survey, investigation, engineering design and planning took place for undertaking major maintenance works or demolition and rebuilding. ‘Unfortunately, the structural

integrity of the bridge has suffered under recent wet weather prior to and over the Christmas/New Year holiday period. The eastern abutment has collapsed further into the creek. ‘Council has therefore engaged specialist demolition contractors to remove the bridge. Demoli-

tion of the bridge is expected to be fully completed by Friday February 15.’ Council says planning for replacing the bridge is on track. For further information contact Council’s Acting Manager, Infrastructure Planning, Hayden Kress on 6626 7022.

Scouts ride to aid medical research Story & photo Jann Gilbert Queensland Scout Members Jarrad, 23, Matthew, 26, and Ivan, 19, decided the best way they could contribute to the Scouts Queensland Centenary Project was to ride their bikes home to Brisbane from the recent Australian Rover Moot in Sydney to raise awareness and funds for the project. While spruiking their fundraising attempt at the Moot Canadian Rover, Kit, 21, thought it sounded like a good idea, and she decided to join the trio on their 1000-plus-kilometre journey. The four riders left Sydney on January 14, giving themselves seven days to make it to Brisbane (that’s around 120-130 kilometres per day). Travel weary but in good spirits, and pretty much on-schedule despite some setbacks, the four riders pedalled into Byron Bay mid-afternoon on Saturday. ‘It’s been an awesome trip,’ say the intrepid four, whose only mishaps (thus far) were a couple of punctures and ongoing problems with their support vehicle. ‘That’s been the most frustrating part of the trip,’ says Jarrad. ‘We’ve had to leave the vehicle and our support person Daniel in Ballina and just keep going. Everyone will make it, apart from the ute.’ ‘It just doesn’t like us,’ says Mathew. Thankfully, in true Scout style, Daniel was able to organise a replacement vehicle and arranged to meet the four riders in Tweed Heads on Saturday evening. ‘That’s the best thing about Scouting,’ says Daniel. ‘You’ve got a whole book of people to contact when you need help!’ Daniel and the four riders have been involved with Scouts for a number of years. ‘Rovers is for 18-26 yearolds,’ says Daniel. ‘We’re not leaders but we work like Apex or similar organisations to provide support in

the community. Rovers are often support backup for other organisers of major youth events. We also challenge ourselves, which is why the guys decided to ride home from the Moot.’ Jarrad, who is also a teacher, believes that it’s not just about raising money for a good cause or challenging yourself but that, ‘it’s a positive way to promote a healthy lifestyle’. And for Mathew, it’s also about reciprocating the support that Jarrod had for his own quest about a year ago – a 10-day trek through Kosiosko National Park. ‘That wasn’t nearly as hard on the legs as this one,’ says Mathew. Apart from sore legs and knees all four were clearly happy to be close

to the border and on the ‘home stretch’, particularly when the sun came out on Saturday to heat things up a little. ‘The cloud cover has made it easier all round. But since we came over the range even though it’s been easier riding because there’s less hills, we’ve had a headwind for the past two days,’ says Ivan. ‘The sun just makes riding more difﬁcult.’ Despite the difficulties, and the fact that the four are funding the trip at personal expense, all say they would do it again. ‘It’s been a great way to see the country,’ says Kit. ‘I’ve seen Australia in a very different way. It’s been fun and challenging, and it’s also raising money for the project.’

The 2008 Centenary Project is an ambitious initiative by Scouts Queensland as part of the 2008 Year of the Scout. The project attempts to have every Scout in Queensland raise $100 in order to develop a $1 million endowment fund for medical research at the Wesley Research Institute. All four riders hope to raise $1,000 each ($1 for every kilometre) for the project and need your help to do so. Donations can be made by cheque, payable to Centenary Project (send to PO Box 520, Toowong 4066 Qld); direct deposit (Westpac Bank, BSB: 034010, Acc No.: 246763, Name: 2008 Centenary Project) or through the website at www. centenaryproject.com.

BayFM finally pumps up the signal ‘Success – 3000 watts of power is blasting out BayFM’s signal to your radio once again,’ says the community radio station. ‘It’s been a long frustrating wait for the storm damaged antenna and transmitters to be replaced or repaired but on Saturday January 19

technicians hooked them all together and turned up the power. The radio signal will once again reach Tugun, Evans Head and Lismore, and be of very high quality for the people of Byron Shire.’ The new president of BayFM, Gayle Cue, is

pleased that the station is back to full power as it has been a very trying time for listeners and volunteers at the station with such a reduced signal. Gayle thanks all BayFM listeners for their patience, and encourages everyone to tune the radio to 99.9 on the FM dial.

Auction items include sports memorabilia, award winning artworks, dining vouchers, health and beauty products, and designer fashion. Call 6676 2852 for bookings or further information. Kaylee also has Insulin

Tips for first time renters Acting Fair Trading and Youth Minister, Verity Firth, has reminded ﬁrst time renters to exercise caution when moving into rental properties. Ms Firth said at this time of year many new university and TAFE students are leaving home and becoming ﬁrst time renters or share accommodation tenants. ‘Before they move out of home they need to be aware of their rights and responsi-

bilities and also what their landlord’s obligations are towards them,’ Ms Firth said. ‘By law, all tenants must receive a copy of the Renting guide and should read it thoroughly before they sign a lease.’ Fair Trading has a Student Guide to consumer rights and the Renting guide available at www.fairtrading.nsw.gov.au or by calling 13 32 20.

Gift of Life comes to Byron Gift of Life Australia’s mission is to raise awareness about the life saving potential of Stem Cell, Bone Marrow and Cord Blood transplants and to increase the representation of Jewish people on the Australian Bone Marrow Donor Registry. Only one third of patients find a relative whose tissue matches theirs, the rest need to find an unrelated donor to increase their chance of survival. Tissue type is inherited therefore patients with a Jewish heritage are more likely to find a match with someone of a similar background and the need for volunteers for the donor registr y from the Jewish community is urgent to save the lives of two Jewish Leukaemia patients, however the chance of finding an unrelated match is 1 in 50,000. Shula Endrey-Walder,

founder of Gift of Life Australia, will be in Byron Bay over the Australia Day weekend to test and register as many people in the community as possible. A simple blood test is all it takes to join the Australian Bone Marrow Donor Registry which is part of the World Wide Donor Registry. Potential donors must be in good health, between 18 and 40 years and should not have lived in the UK between 1980 & 1996 for more than six months. Free registration and testing will be conducted at Bay Centre Medical, 6 Lawson Street, on Sunday January 27 and Monday 28 from 10am to 4pm. Booking is necessary for your convenience. For further information please call Shula on 0414 780 444 or Rainbow Kehilah on 6685 4440.

Call for tourism support Shadow Minister for Tourism and Ballina MP Don Page has called on the NSW Minister for Tourism to come to the aid of the North Coast tourism industry. Mr Page said that the recent ﬂood and consistent rain has had an enormous detrimental impact on local tourism. ‘With many tourists staying away due to the ﬂood or people cutting their holiday short because of the constant rain, many local businesses are suffering,’ he said. ‘This is the peak tourism season for this area. Many

businesses rely on this period to get them through the quieter winter months. ‘I am calling on the Minister for Tourism to undertake a promotional campaign to get the tourists back to this area. Not just for the Easter holiday break but between now and then. ‘Promotion of the area for short breaks will also help to boost the tourism industry throughout the year and not just for the peak holiday seasons. We need to announce to the rest of Australia that the North Coast is open and ready for business.’

His profoundly gentled and stilled inner way of being re-awakens the same in those he encounters.

Open day for Ocean Shores garden Marie’s Garden at 42 Tongarra Drive, Ocean Shores is certain to delight visitors with its collection of plant treasures when it opens for Australia’s Open Garden Scheme on F ebruary 9 and 10. In just three y ears, David and Marie Ashton have created a garden of immense complexity on a small area where every plant is strategically placed for maximum impact and optimum g rowing conditions. ‘David and I moved from Victoria in la te 2004 and inherited some very interesting landscaping and a pool,’ says Marie. ‘Soon after w e arrived we removed some of the existing garden and decided to g row tropical plants, accepting tha t we lived in a subtropical zone. ‘These plants were all new to us and w e became v ery excited by their vibrant colours and their frequently large ﬂowers and foliage.We were also stunned a t their growth rate, especially creep-

ers! We purchased most of these plants from the local markets and John, one of my favorite stallholders, will be at the open weekend with a

variety of plants for sale. I have also enjo yed mixing various species together and have often added succulents, cacti and aga ves to

add form and sculpture. Some of these will be available for purchase on the open days from m y friend and expert Kathleen.’ Huge boulders and stepping stones blend har moniously with the impressiv e pole house. Marie has made striking use of str uctural palms, grasses, heliconias and bamboos. The interesting tree selection includes African tulip, leopard tree, dwarf poinciana and Cercis canadensis ‘Forest Pansy’. In a terraced area belo w the pool, David has nur tured a herb and vegetable patch. Marie’s garden will be open between 10am and 4.30pm, entry fee $5. Children are admitted free. This year Australia’s Open Garden Scheme marks its 20th anniversary. Over the years it has become the grassroots barometer of Australian gardening interests and tastes, as well as a source of information and pleasure. It has also raised millions of dollars for charities.

BVL scores $113,900 for environmental repair Brunswick Valley Landcare (BVL) has been successful in securing two grants in round nine of the Australian government’s Envirofund. ‘This is great news for the Landcare groups and landholders involved in the projects,’ said Judy MacDonald, BVL Project Officer . ‘Here in the Brunswick catchment we are blessed with having the highest biodiversity in NSW and the third highest in Australia, but this is under threat and w e have limited resources available to tackle the challenges. ‘This is ser ious funding for BVL which allo ws our members and g roups to continue with their environmental repair w ork. Onground works have now commenced.’ The ‘Riparian Restoration of the Br unswick River: Upper Mullumbimby Creek

sub-catchment’ project will receive $45, 454. Five neighbouring landholders at the top of Left Bank Road, Mullumbimby, are now working together to restore the endangered ecological community of lowland subtropical rainforest on their creek banks. New resident and project participant Julie Ryan remarked, ‘This joint project helps us to get to know our neighbour s and develop a common bond to improve our en vironment.’ Julie also enjoys the opportunity to get out and w ork with the exper ienced bush regenerators funded through the project and lear n ﬁrsthand from the experts. The second project, ‘Riparian Restoration of the Brunswick River, Main Arm -Middle/Estuarine sub catchment’, will also receive $45, 454, the maximum funding available.

This will allow for the fencing off, restoration and revegetation of riparian zones on three properties at Durrumbul and the extension of BVL riparian restoration projects a t Coral Avenue and Heritage Park in Mullumbimby. The Heritage Park BVL locality group volunteers have been working over the last two years to restore and expand the park on the banks of the Br unswick River by Federation Bridge. The group coordinator Nina Bishop is thrilled with the $13,962 component it has received. ‘It is a huge relief to ha ve the funds to car ry on to engage the community ,’ she said. ‘Now we can ha ve the professional support of bush regenerators which means that our works are more likely to continue and the v olunteers won’t get overwhelmed

and burnt out.’ If you would like to get involved in an y of these projects and g roups please call Judy MacDonald on 6684 5390. The Australian government’s Envirofund offers grants of up to $50,000 for community groups and individual landholders to develop their own environmental projects.The next round of funding is due to be announced in F ebruary 2008.

‘When one looks back on the old year, one can see how much has been achieved, and it is surprising that the year was long enough!’ That’s how Chris Gray, outgoing president of the Brunswick Valley Historical Society, began his report on the work of the society through 2007 at the group’s AGM on January 19. Among the highlights Mr Gray listed were the celebration in October of the society’s 25th anniversary and the centenary of the old post ofﬁce now the society museum, substantial maintenance to the building, including painting and replacing guttering, support for numerous community events throughout the shire and co-hosting, with Byron Shire Council, of the ofﬁcial shire Australia Day function. In addition, the society had produced three publications, with more in progress, had mounted some very popular displays including those in the shop front window of Stewart’s Menswear in Mullumbimby and had offered an educational resource to visiting school and other groups. Mr Gray paid tribute to market manager Gordon Wright whose efforts at the monthly market provided

Permit system protects land rights Vol 22 #32

January 22, 2008

Brunswickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future Part of the charm of Brunswick Heads is that it is not Byron Bay. It still retains a 1950s holiday village feel, despite some of the town elements being schmicked up to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;modernâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; standards. Its wide ďŹ&#x201A;at streets and low building line still give it a sense of spaciousness, along with large areas of unoccupied public land. That land is now under scrutiny by the Department of Lands, whose new mission in life is to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;value addâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, according to its own lights, land which actually belongs to the public, land still fancifully known as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;crown landâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x201C; weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re sure Queen Liz would enjoy Housie in Banner Park. The department has produced a draft foreshore strategic plan, downloadable at www.lands.nsw.gov. au/crown_land/crown_reserves/management/draft_ pom/brunswick_heads and available for reading at the Brunswick Heads Library in Fingal Street. How the plan will affect Brunswick Headsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s atmosphere is something which should be contemplated by residents and enthusiastic visitors. The department sees an earner in expanding the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;holiday parksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which some of us still call â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;caravan parksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, just as we call the Myocum landďŹ ll site â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;the tipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. It is reassuring, however, that it promises to keep public foreshore access â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;unobstructedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and expand upon walkways/bikeways. It also makes sense to upgrade the boatharbour and integrate it into the life of the town, as long as a marina for rich yachties is not the ďŹ nal outcome. Dividing the town into nine precincts for the purposes of the study also makes it easier for residents to check out what is planned for their neck of the woods. The action plan summary table from page 43 on in the document is worth browsing. Restoration of Simpsons Creek in Precinct 1 sounds like a good place to start. However in Precinct 3, Brunswick Beach, there are plans for a cafĂŠ/kiosk in Torakina Park. Surely there are enough good cafĂŠs in town at present? The charm of Torakina is that it is so low key and undeveloped, that you can walk around the boundary or set up folding chairs and have a picnic, entirely unobstructed by the demands of commerce. There is no need to establish â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;a community recreation node around Torakina Parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it is already happening. Plans in this precinct for â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;commercial developmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; near the surf club and accommodation on land south of the club are also worrying. In other precincts plans to upgrade amenities and improve landscaping are to be welcomed. Plans to restore wetland are very welcome. Public submissions on the plan can be made in writing to The Regional Manager, Department of Lands, PO Box 272, Grafton NSW 2460. The reference number is GF06H541, the contact ofďŹ cer is Richard Dunning on 6640 3403. Submissions close February 22.

o itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s back to work, and the Rudd governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s honeymoon is already over â&#x20AC;&#x201C; at least it is if the Murdoch press has anything to say about it. Last week Aboriginal Affairs Minister Jenny Macklin announced that the permit system for Northern Territory settlements, marked for abolition under the previous governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intervention, would be retained; and the wrath of the Sun King descended upon her and all her works. Admittedly, this makes The Australian and its messenger, Nicholas Rothwell, a triďŹ&#x201A;e out of step with the mainstream. The permit system is favoured by the present federal government, the Northern Territory government, the Northern Territory police force, most Aboriginal leaders, most independent experts in the ďŹ eld and even the Arts and Media Alliance â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the union representing the journalists who have most to lose by being barred from entering the settlements without permission. And of course most of the communities affected were puzzled and alarmed when the gung-ho commander-inchief of the invasion, the late and unlamented Mal Brough, announced that the permit system was to go. But to Rothwell and his various editors, the system was anathema: a symbol of apartheid that provided very real protection for paedophiles and drug pedlars. The Australian has provided no evidence of how the system sheltered such criminals, and the police say it had the opposite effect of enabling communities to exile such offenders when they could not be charged. But it is true

that the permit system at least once kept Rothwell from visiting Wadeye at a time of unrest. Far from being some sinister and unique privilege granted only to aborigines, as The Australian suggests, the permit system is a simple recognition that land owned by Aborigines has exactly the same legal status as land owned by other Australians. The title has been granted by the courts under the Land Rights Act; it is therefore private property, no more or less so than Rupert Murdochâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own backyard. It is true that it is owned by a trust rather than by an individual, but that is irrelevant; the law allows for all kinds of multiple occupancy, strata title, gated communities etc and

their land in any meaningful sense; they were there only by the grace and favour of the government, which could be withdrawn (as the intervention showed) at any time. Land rights has been arguably the only substantial achievement on the path to reconciliation. The idea remains absolutely central to Aboriginal culture and to any aspirations towards genuine reconciliation. Rothwell and The Australian have, in recent times, provided serious and thoughtful coverage of indigenous Australia. We can only hope last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attack was an aberration. If they really must beat up the Rudd government, there are plenty of less sensitive areas in which to pick a ďŹ ght.

Once the communities could no longer control who came to their land it ceased to be their land in any meaningful sense. by Mungo MacCallum has for a very long time. The permit system reafďŹ rms the validity of the Land Rights Act; and one of the reasons there was so much distress and even outrage when Brough proposed to abolish it was that the proposal was seen as a covert attack on the whole system of land rights, a suspicion confirmed by Broughâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s insistence that the settlements would be leased back by the Commonwealth for the duration of the intervention. Once the communities could no longer control who came to their land (or the circumstances by which they came, as John Howard might have added) it ceased to be

t is possible to make out a logical case for killing and eating some nonendangered whale species. Shorn of the anthropomorphism on which much of the anti-whaling argument is based (admittedly no easy task â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the creatures are hugely appealing, at least at a safe distance) whales are just mammals; majestic ones, certainly, but not qualitatively different from cows, sheep or pigs. Indeed, there is a theory that the restrictions of a marine environment have meant they are less evolved and intelligent than many of the land animals we routinely domesticate and con-

sume. Farming whales is clearly impractical, but if you have no moral objection to eating meat, there is no reason not to hunt them in the same way as deer or kangaroos. Except one: it is just bad economics. For all but a handful of subsistence coastal tribes there are far cheaper and more reliable sources of animal protein. To suggest that a country as wealthy as Japan needs to send ďŹ&#x201A;eets to the Antarctic to maintain its food supply is clearly ludicrous. The lie, which no-one believes (or is meant to believe), that it is all in the name of scientiďŹ c research to establish conditions for a return to genuine commercial whaling is even sillier. And in the end much of the catch remains uneaten anyway: despite efforts to inculcate Japanese children into a nonexistent tradition of eating whale meat, much of it ends up as pet food or fertiliser. So why do they do it? Sheer perversity? Some misplaced display of national pride? Or just because they can? Who knows. But they are not going to stop, and if shortages in other areas ever make hunting the more prolific whales (minkes, for instance) worthwhile, we had better have an answer to the argument above. We may see killing kangaroos as humane and legitimate, but not everyone agrees, and it is hard to make a case for one but not the other. We can, however, refute one common libel: we are not the only countr y w h i c h e at s i t s ow n national symbol. The English may have run out of lions and unicorns, but the French remain partial to coq au vin.

Help Japan I would like to alert people to action started by Joanne Siddall of London. Upon learning of the ter rible famine in Japan she has star ted a campaign to send 2 minute noodles to the J apanese Prime Minister. As many people will know the star ving Japanese people, many of them school children, have been reduced to eating endangered whale meat just to stay alive. Worse still this whale mea t is sa turated with deadly lev els of mercury, dioxines and in some cases mad whale pr ions. Now Japan is an important friend and ally to us . Their immense pride may have prevented them asking for charity but as friends it is our duty to come to their aid. So I ask you all: help us sa ve a child, save a whale and pro ve that peaceful protest is humanity’s most potent weapon.

Bruns plans I have been per using the Lands Dept w ebsite which gives a detailed description of the proposed ‘revitalisation’ of the Brunswick Heads foreshore lands. To my mind, a lot of wha t is being suggested makes good sense. However I do have concerns over the suggestion of a café-kiosk dev elopment for the Torakina Park area. The park is a great tourist attraction as is, with the barbecues and picnic spots in ﬁne weather in constant use. The amount of trafﬁ c generated is already too much for the available area and adding a further attraction would seem to me to be a prime case of over development. My second concern would

What I love about Mullum is its sense of community . I am greeted by name in the shops and am happy to b uy almost everything I need locally. I don’t even lock my bike!

again making it a more exclusivist or elitist venue which is not available to the majority of the community, with a whole host of new rules of can and can’t. This is further erosion of the age-old right of public participation in the community. Similarly, Woolworths in Byron Bay, who are more than willing to take out in proﬁts massively more than they have ever put in or given back, also boast a ‘community’ notice board, albeit rather small and halfobscured. The rules above stipulate ‘strictly no business advertising’, however, that obviously doesn’t apply to some businesses, because over half the notice board is devoted to just that, advertising businesses. I guess everything’s for sale as far as Woollies is concerned, even community notice board space. Oh yeah, the ad-cards now cost. The rights of community are not taken away so much in open seizure but more often rather insidiously by degrees. Keep eyes open, Byron. Ron Curran

Import impacts Cheap imported goods from China, India and Asian countries are undermining our manufacturing sector. Australian manufacturers do not

have the advantage of using child labour, under-paying workers for long hours, ignoring workplace safety standards, paying no workers’ compensation, insurances etc. In a futile attempt to enable our industries to compete, the past Howard government’s lowering of our workplace standards didn’t work. It’s about time we brought the buggers (I don’t apologise for using this term) up to our standards and this could be quite easily done by imposing heavy tariffs on products imported from manufacturers who do not observe Australian workplace standards. Free Trade would apply for foreign manufacturers who have been certiﬁed by our unions and/or workplace inspectors, all others should be ‘Tariffed’. Peggy Balfour

Unhappy Very unhappy, Jan! I am very happy for the kids of Byron, especially Suffolk Park, with the opening of the sports ﬁelds and skate park. More of this stuff might alleviate some of the vandalism and crime happening lately. But what were they thinking (smoking?) when they decided to build it in our backyard? I and my neighbors have been talking to, begging and pleading with council to do

something for over one year. But nothing but lip service and patronising has been the result. We were promised noise and construction buffers, but then, after construction began (last year) we were told the buffers would go up/in after the construction. Does this make any sense to anyone? For months of construction, clouds of dirt/dust poured into our homes. In the middle of summer we had to

CIA’s role in the drug trade Every Australian should be shocked that our ANZUS buddy, America, is a criminal entity. Currently Byron Cinemas are showing American Gangster which shows US military aircraft ferrying heroin from Laos and Vietnam back to the US stashed under the corpses of the war dead. Far fetched? Not according to Professor Alfred McCoy who spent 20 years researching this nefarious trade and publishing his evidence in The Politics of Heroin in South East Asia (updated as The Politics of Heroin: CIA Complicity in the Global Drug Trade, Lawrence Hill Books, NY, 1991). Drugs were (are?) imported for sale on American streets through Miami. My friend Joseph M Gersten was Commissioner of

Dade County when he donated a dossier of evidence to the FBI. Shortly afterwards his Mercedes was stolen from his driveway and, when he went to collect it from police, he was arrested, imprisoned and accused of the murder of a transvestite prostitute. Ex Attorney General in Bill Clinton’s administration, Janet Reno, was at the heart of attempts to frame Gersten who ﬂed to Australia to escape political persecution (‘Miami Vice’, Weekend Australian, March 17-18, 2001, p21). He now practises law in Sydney. We can be certain that the Rudd government will not be raising any embarrassing questions at the Australian American Leadership Dialogue this week at Stanford.

Our delegation is led by ‘Bomber’ Beazley, well known for his sycophancy to the US, and includes Assistant Treasurer Chris Bowen, the Defence, Science and Personnel Minister Warren Snowdon, and a parliamentary secretary Bob McMullan. Despite the colossal harm done to Australia’s interests through Slaughterhouse Iraq, the occupation of Afghanistan (which has massively increased opium production), and, of course, the sub-prime economic crisis which wiped out $A40 billion from the stock market this week, we can be confident that Emperor Bush’s objectionable nakedness will continue with all eyes averted.

keep our doors and windows shut. And still dirt entered. Not to mention the noise! Imagine numerous trucks and excavation equipment ﬁve and six days a week constantly, starting as early as 6.15am, and only a few metres from our bedroom windows. If that wasn’t bad enough then they installed night lights for the tennis courts which blaze nightly into our homes. I feel like I live next to Olympic Stadium, without the beneﬁts. I say shame on those responsible. Our enjoyment of basic amenities of life in our own homes has not been protected. After countless phone calls and emails, most by the way not responded to, nothing of importance has been done. Oh, they sent a team of sound monitors a couple of months ago to see if the skate park was noisy. Duh! If we are all complaining, then it’s so obviously noisy. In fairness, they did put some ‘blinders’ on the stadium lighting, which now protect the skateboarders from the lights, not us. Can anyone understand this? Very unhappy, Jan! Jerry Altholtz

The cow in question most likely suffered a horrible death in drowning, and I personally do not ﬁnd it funny to make a joke about how cows shouldn’t surf. I’m sure there are people who will think I have no sense of humour but the death of an animal just isn’t that funny. A Hatch

Dog exercise It is not local ‘dog haters’, Brian (Milner, Letters, January 15), who are responsible for limiting off-leash dog exercise areas but the state government. Some on Council’s Companion Animals Committee have done their best to persuade the relevant departments to reverse recent decisions, notably the reduction of the Brunswick Heads beach exercise area, others believed this would prove futile – as it has – and the committee should concentrate on ﬁnding alternative areas, which it now is. There are still good-sized beach areas on which dogs can be exercised off-leash, eg at Belongil and some hinterland ones; the situation is not at all as grim as some like to present it, I don’t know why. As a dog walker and sup-

porter I think it’s important that people are informed about the realities of irresponsible dog ownership and Angela’s information should not be seen as antidog. Brian writes of the need to keep some balance in the debate and I agree. Jenny Coman

Brilliant Tom Tabart’s letter in The Echo was absolutely brilliant, about as brilliant as his representation on council, a pity he doesn’t spend even more time on representation of his constituents than he does putting poo on others and his fellow councillors. This year when council elections ﬁnally arrive, think hard, do we really need people of his calibre on council, or would they better serve the community elsewhere? Somehow this reminds me of the pathetic condition of the toilet amenity blocks not only in Brunswick Heads mentioned by Sarah Buchanan but all over the Shire. Council and councillors must also be congratulated on the brilliant condition of these services! Terry Hudson

Letters that affect me and many residents and visitors to Byron. 1.When the roundabout at Shirley/Butler Streets was built less than 12 months ago, why wasn’t a right hand turn lane set up for Butler street traffic? Traffic congestion coming into/through Byron could be reduced if this was done, especially on market days. 2. Why is there such a small opening across the railway line for pedestrians and cyclists near the Rails hotel car park? Considering the large amount of foot and bike traffic (and the relatively inexpensive cost of putting proper pedestrian and bike ways across the railway line] why hasn’t something been done? The current openings are quite dangerous when pedestrians and cyclists enter at the same time. 3. Why is there such a lack of street lighting on Burns Street? With no footpath, the

continual stream of backpackers and locals has to walk along the road in total darkness. Besides the chance of someone being hit by a car, many of the backpackers are young girls on their own who would likely be nervous walking alone in the dark. This letter has also been sent to Byron Council for their response.

Blokey ‘I’m a bloke, I’m an ocker and I really like your knockers, get my beer and get my fags and go away.’ This was part of a song I heard on ABC local radio this afternoon – all done with good humour and absolutely tongue in cheek. It was such a redneck song that I’m still chuckling about it a couple of hours later. There’s going to be a Blokes Day in a small town

Propaganda Imagine aliens have stationed an aggressive spacecraft in orbit round our planet. Who would be ﬁrst to attack it? Right! Now look at an atlas and ﬁnd the Straits of Hormuz. That’s where a United States warship was ‘attacked’ by

locals with fruit boxes or something, and radio threats. And which side complained? Would our ABC please stop unedited reporting of US press releases as actual news! Surely we have enough vision to include some insights and not just toe the US line. For example, that the US think it’s their oil under those Arab states. Or that their economy is suffering from the cost of war – which transfers public money (the army) into private hands (US weapons manufacturers). Or that the greatest rogue state on the planet doesn’t want anyone else to have nuclear weapons like it does. The list goes on. Duncan Dey

Letters

Differing views on the Splendour agenda Q I would like to respond to the letter published in The Echo on January 15 concerning North Byron Shire Parklands and the Splendour DA. The people behind Parklands have repeatedly stated that we are completely in favour of vigorous debate about the merits of the proposal â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the level of discussion and diversity in the Shire is one of our best community assets â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but we totally oppose personal victimisation and the spread of misinformation. It would take too long to itemise each inaccurate allegation that has been levelled at the proposal in this letters page, but I think that it is important to illustrate what we mean with a few examples. Sewerage: the Byron Shire Council sewerage system

Â&#x153;Ă&#x153;Ă&#x160;Â&#x2C6;Ă&#x192;Ă&#x160;Ă&#x152;Â&#x2026;iĂ&#x160;Ă&#x152;Â&#x2C6;Â&#x201C;iĂ&#x160;Ă&#x152;Â&#x153;

will not be impacted at all as we have received approval from Tweed Shire Council to take all liquid waste to their sewerage treatment plant if required. Water: potable water will be purchased from Tweed Shire Council so there will be no impact on Byron Shire Council water as stated in this website. This point has been clearly articulated in the development application. There will be no water impacts on businesses and residents. Greenhouse gas emissions: greenhouse gases associated with transport of water and waste will be neutralised through investments in Australian and international wind farms. This is done through the purchase of accredited Australian Greenpower and Kyoto approved Clean Development Mechanism carbon credits as has been done for Splendour in the past. The purchase of these credits is independently veriďŹ ed and audited through Climate Friendly. All documentation is publicly available. Splendour was the first festival in Australia to offer its audience the opportunity to purchase a green ticket and become carbon neutral for the period of the festival, including emissions associ-

ated with their travel to and from the event; 5,425 people or 31% took up this voluntary offer and neutralised over 860 tonnes of carbon. Loss of recreational areas: there will be no loss of recreational areas as the event is held on private lands. TrafďŹ c: local residents will not be affected with the set up and pull down of the event as a result of increased trafďŹ c as traffic movements will not increase by more than 30 vehicle movements an hour at its busiest, on a road designed to carry 1,200 vehicles/hour (Tweed Valley Way). Again, I make the offer to anyone interested in discussing the proposal to email us on info@nor thbyronshireparklands.com.au as we are happy to discuss any aspect of the proposal in detail.

North Byron Shire Parklands Q Residents of Byron must extend a big thankyou to the Splendour developers for their full page ads in The Echo. Helping to fund our local paper is an honourable act. Thank you also for in those same ads acknowledging that â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Get Splendour out of the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is a good idea. Good that they realised the

community of Byron Bay deserves better. But do two wrongs make a right?. Is an inappropriate festival for town automatically an appropriate one for the animals and plants of the already fragmented and under stress wildlife corridor and the nature reserve? Who will speak for them? Thank the Splendour organisers also for planting some trees, no really, no problem there. Keep planting! Cover the whole place. Think Globally Act Locally is surely a basic tenet we all will need to live by, if we as a society are to adapt successfully to the global warming/increasing population/peak oil future. It is easy to get caught up in our own lush backyard and not see the bigger picture. The planet is already under threat on every continent. Every minute we lose habitat and species, gone, extinct, never to come back. Be it jungles in Indonesia or the mega quarry and residential areas proposed for Wooyung just over the fence in Tweed Shire. Our planet is being subjected to death by 1000 cuts. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one more rock festival in one more wildlife corridor going to do? Our democratically elected Councillors will have to vote

IT’S NOT JUST MUSIC FANS THAT WILL BENEFIT FROM THE NEW SITE FOR SPLENDOUR IN THE GRASS. North Byron Shire Parklands is very aware that there’s more to life than putting on events like Splendour in the Grass. We have an obligation to do our best for the area and that includes aiming to make life easier for our furry and feathered fellow residents. Here are a few ways we’re helping:

• We are donating ecologically significant land to the National Parks & Wildlife Services which will increase the overall size of the Billinudgel Nature Reserve • A key priority is restoring native vegetation to link patches of fragmented forest for the benefit of animals and birds that live there and for safer movement to and from coastal and inland habitats • A koala plan of management has been developed by Biolink Ecological Consultants, respected koala specialists

• We have already planted in excess of 2,500 native trees and have plans in place to facilitate a long term revegetation program • We have consulted with the Minjungbal People regarding revegetation and rehabilitation programs and will continue to seek their input and advice • We will be undertaking additional comprehensive fauna surveys before, during and after the event to continuously improve our fauna and flora programs

Articles Blow-ins Woody Connette and Jane Harper sum up the local cuisine

Food in Byron Shire: you never had it so good

ictoria Cosford’s yearend discussion of the Byron Bay restaurant scene (‘Eating up the Year’, Echo, December 18, 2007) made us reﬂect on our food experiences in the community. We recently moved to Byron Bay from New York, where we made serious sport of sampling the city’s 30,000 restaurants. By comparison, Byron Bay is pretty good. Like Ms Cosford, our biggest disappointment has been the inconsistency of service. We also ﬁnd some restaurants’ pricing to be audacious. We think this is an inevitable challenge of living in a tourist town. Some restaurateurs seem content to charge holiday visitors stiff prices for limp food, since they do not need to worry about developing a local clientele of repeat business. Fortunately, Byron is a small town, and we are learning quickly which restaurants to avoid. Against this background, we applaud Ms Cosford’s favourite restaurants, one one one, and Muoi’s Feast. They top our list as well, along with Byron Street Bistro. For more casual meals, we really like Fish Mongers and Cypress Tree

in Bay Lane, and Twisted Sista. Running up the hill to Bangalow for supper is always a treat also. As newcomers, our biggest surprise has been the abundance, diversity and outstanding quality of fresh local produce, seafood and meat. Some places in the world stake their fame on particular locally grown or produced ingredients, but Australia has them all. Hawaii’s Kona or Jamaica’s Blue Mountain coffees have cult followings, but Byron’s locally grown coffee is better. Italy and Spain’s famous hams and sausages are matched or surpassed by Bangalow ham and the local butchers’ snags. The delicious cheeses, whether from Nimbin or Tasmania, are outstanding. There’s no need to hunt for Italian Mozzarella or Greek Feta, the Australian versions are just as good. Australian olive oil is as good as any in the world. In New York, many of the best restaurants have earned stellar reputations by serving food from the famous Union Square Farmers’ Market. We shopped there regularly, but by comparison the Thursday market

here in Byron Bay is wonderful. Think about the many varieties of delicious, locally grown bananas you have available, and try to imagine the hundreds of millions of Europeans, Canadians and Americans who have never tasted any-

thing but the nondescript agribusiness bananas that arrive green and go on sale if they ever turn ripe. Imagine those people paying two dollars for rock-solid avocados that have been refrigerated and shipped halfway around the world, and how

shocked they would be to see the varieties of fresh, earthy local avocados at the Byron Bay market. Honey? Try the red gum, spotted gum, ironbark or stringybark. No other place in the world has anything to compare. At home, we made pesto from pine nuts, but now that we know about Macadamias, we’ll never go back. In the States, Alice Waters with her Chez Panisse restaurant in Berkeley started a revolution by using only the freshest, organic, locally grown provenance. She had a hard time in the early days ﬁlling out her menu, because there was so little truly good, fresh food available for her to use. Alice would be in wonderland here. What would she do with produce like Jap Pumpkin, that locals here accept as commonplace, but that would be truly new and exotic to most Americans? Butcher shops are a disappearing luxury in the States, and many of the boutiques in New York can charge stratospheric prices for custom cut beef. Trevor Mead’s Butcher Shop on Jonson Street would be a star in that elite class. Indeed, his son,

Graeme, worked in one of New York’s finest butcher shops, where we suspect he taught them some new tricks. It’s always a pleasure to shop there, and we never leave without buying a few sausages for the barbie. The first time we shopped at the Byron Seafood Market, we were dazzled by the varieties of Australian seafood that we had never seen before. We were trying to decide on a purchase when Freckles admonished us, ‘Come back in a couple of hours. I’ve just gotten a call from a boat captain in Coffs Harbor who’s unloading a fresh catch of Yellowfin for us. It should be great.’ We have been returning there regularly ever since and feel grateful to have such a reliable source of freshly caught, properly handled local seafood. Many of Byron’s local restaurants and chefs take full advantage of the wonderful variety of local ingredients available to them, but as outsiders we see the potential for this area to earn a spot on the world gastronomy map if word ever got out. Selfishly, we hope that never happens. With all this extraordinary food, we can learn to live with spotty service.

tied to the radar mast of the whaling ship for two hours in freezing temperatures. Who were the illegal pirates? I found myself wondering. Of course this has generated a huge amount of publicity globally about the court ruling and Japan’s illegal whaling activities. It has also put a lot of pressure on the Labor Party to honour its pre-election promise to do all it can to stop whaling and to enforce any court injunction. The whalers said they would return the hostages if a list of demands were agreed to, one being that Sea Shepherd agreeing to no longer interfere with their whaling operations. ‘The [Japanese organisation] Institute of Cetacean Research is acting like a terrorist organisation,’ said Sea Shepherd, Steve Irwin’s 1st Ofﬁcer Peter Brown. ‘Here they are taking hostages and making demands. Our policy is that we don’t respond to terrorist demands.’ ‘The activities of the Japanese whaling ﬂeet are illegal under international conservation law,’ said Sea Shepherd Captain Paul Watson. ‘We are upholding international law. ‘The Japanese are poachers and should be treated in

the same manner as elephant or tiger poachers.’ The Australian government eventually offered to use the customs ship the Oceanic Viking, which was in the area monitoring and collecting information for a possible international court challenge, to transfer the two Sea Shepherd crew, from the Japanese ship to the Sea Shepherd ship the Steve Irwin. If the government was serious about stopping the Japanese killing more whales, then this was the time to give the Japanese whalers the court injunction by hand then instruct them to leave Australian Antarctic waters, return to Japan and stop all whaling for all time. Instead Australian customs ship just picked up the two men and transferred them to the Steve Irwin early Friday morning. The hostage drama lasted for three days. Mr Inwood from the Institute of Cetacean Research says the Yushin Maru II is now headed back towards the rest of the Japanese ﬂeet in the Southern Ocean to resume whaling. It is unknown how many whales Japan has already killed this season in the Antarctic whale sanctuary or if

even Australian Humpbacks have been spared the harpoon. What is known is no whales have been killed in the last week or so while Sea Shepherd and Greenpeace have been chasing and harassing them and the whole world has been watching. They plan to continue their protest. Many people have asked me why does Japan still kills whales, especially when they have 6000 tonnes of frozen whale meat they can’t get rid of and they even use it in pet food and try to give it away in school lunches. When I have asked the same question, I have heard that the fishing industry and lobby in Japan is very powerful and even controls the Prime Minister. A few of these men like to eat whale meat and don’t like to be told they can’t. It is these people and the politicians, businesses and fisherman that support them who are now bringing the Japanese nation into global disrepute. They want to kill whales again for so-called ‘scientific research’. If they had no disruptions this season they intended to kill 900 Minke whales, 50 Fin whales and 50 humpback whales.

kill humpbacks this season they have said they will start killing them again as early as December 2008. As Sea Shepherd and Greenpeace do battle with the out-of-control Japanese whaling ﬂeet in our southern oceans it is our relationship with and, for many, their friendship for this majestic leviathan that is tipping the balance. From school kids doing whale drawings, to activists doing protests, to politicians representing community feelings, consciousness changes and action on this issue has come. As the Franklin Dam and Terania Creek protests of the 70s expressed and showed us that nature was worth

defending, so now we are taking on one of the most powerful economic forces on the planet and, like Malcolm Fraser, Japan too will fall to right thought and action. Some say it is only international courts that will stop Japanese whalers, others say diplomatic pressure, boycotts of Japanese products or the International Whaling Commission will stop them. Personally I follow the Gandhian style of achieving change effective. It incorporates many aspects: education, networking, positive visualisations, people power, direct non-violent action, media, boycotts, courts, negotiations and politics. All these activities have been

used in this campaign to end whaling by a broad cross -section of the community and no single action was ever going to succeed by itself. So congratulations to everyone who has played a part in this process. But it’s not over yet. You are invited to a screening of an inspiring whale action ﬁlm I have made plus some recent Antarctic action footage and to plan for a Boycott Japanese Products demonstration in Brisbane on Friday 25.

Suzanne Bourchier I just lo ve Exodus! Ha ving been to six out of eight of the many variations of that festival, held yearly on a beautiful property north of Tenterfield, I feel qualified to say it, and I believ e every person there this year felt the same way. Though Exodus is about music and dance, it is also about being with friends in a familiar and well-loved piece of bushland with a (this year) full and clean lake to s wim in, about acknowledging and honouring its or iginal owners, catching up with friends, many of whom left the area long ago b ut still make it back for the occasion, others from the international festival circuit. It is about honing highly inventive camping skills, hilarious moments in campsites, great food, watching kids instantly drawn together by their inbuilt kid-magnets and hooning around together, watched over by everyone. It is about a chance to get together with people of the Tenterfield area, including many Aboriginal families and fr iends, for whom Exodus has become known as a peaceful and friendly place to meet up. It is about outstanding entertainers doing ey e-popping acts and sounds tha t keep you on the dancefl oor until your feet bleed. It’s about healing and reviving the body and spir it. Even the babies reportedly sleep unusually well, lulled in their tents by the muffl ed heartbeat sound of trance. Exodus 2008 w ent off! The rain stopped just after the festival was opened at the live stage by the lake, with welcomes from Bundjalung elder Cedric from Bonalbo, some didge pla ying and onlookers joining in an emu dance performed by Duck, Kamularoi dancer from Drake who w as painted up for the ceremony. This stage was to see a div erse mix of excellent acts, local and

international, with tr ibal dance music of Ganga Gir i, live techno from Morph, tiny powerful singer Sarita, body art shows, samba dr ums, Fyah Walk’s roots reggae, and much more. It al ways provided an interesting stopover on the way to the other dance floors, dining areas, kids’ space and camping areas. Offa’s trance stage on the hill worked magic almost the entire festival and became the thumping hear t of the place. Backed by an impressive sound system, Tao and Ish, Algernon, Larrikin, Tryptich, were the pha ttyboomboom standouts for me. Offa had the recipe exactly right and great coffee too. Cabaret acts on two nights at the J ampot stage w ere supernatural, extraplanetary, extraordinary: sword swallowing, sexy spaghetti-whipping, androids stilt-dancing, bed of nails, beautiful glassball pas de deux with sassy Merlin calling the shots . Amateur trickster Coran, 12, from Katoomba, who earned over fifty dollar s in card tricks from unwary campers the first night, sat watching with one-pointed intensity at the feet of the master s and judged contortionist and fluorescent tube s wallower (two tubes at once, a world first) and f abulously cute boy, Manx, to be the most impressive. With you on that one, kid! Later acts on the same stage were unfortunately under-served by a disappointing sound system tha t couldn’t quite deliv er the wonderful goods of local faves Pob, Jackie Onassid, Nick Taylor, Dr Br ian and others. Other great bits: the sunshine, Rusty’s white-hot fi re display reflected in the lake, Jamaican chicken, the F&%k Off General Store, 17 y ear old break dancer s, Instant Rawkus from Coffs, the Orion nebula through Tim’s massive telescope, midday

on the hot trance ﬂ oor, cool breezes, swimming, unexpected meetings, Greg’s rock shop and so many more. Former Exodus shit-pit diggers who took o ver the organisation, Rachel Caulcott and Michelle Gibson from Mullumbimby (take a bow, love ya work!), said numbers were down (around 2,000 people made it), probably due to SES warnings to avoid it, Triple J and Bay FM mistakenly announcing its cancellation (later rescinded), and the chance of continuing rain. Stallholders suffered from the drop in numbers this year but some, like a couple we met at the Road Closed sign near flooded Boonoo Boonoo the w eek before, did not let tha t spoil their time. ‘It wasn’t busy so we got busy!’ said Lisa with a sexy twinkle in her eye! In case an yone is still in any doubt about wha t kind of time w as had, here are some Exodus-related words I collected around the site: ‘We know everybody, and everybody we don’t know is friendly!… Vibe, energy, vo d k a ! … Supremely happy!… F@#$n toasted!… Happy, cruisey!... Spacious, laidback, good people!... Awesome, especially the little green birds above the stage at night!... Exodus cleared up the weather!... Good mix of electronic and liv e!...I’ve never had so man y hugs a t the end of a show [Hemlock, acrobat]!... Nice people, can’t get any better, glad it’s in my town! We’re from Malabugilmah, we come ev ery year and meet up with cousins from Barayugil and Tenterﬁeld, it’s a good meeting place for us! Protect the land, honour the land and respect the land and the land will look after y ou. That’s what my grandfather told me and have a look, he was right [Duck]! And, from former Exodusmeister Urs, ‘Very harmonic, excellent job! The angels are looking after us.’ Yes, indeed!

Comment

Festivals: small is beautiful Michael McDonald Does Byron Shire need large scale festivals? No. Does Byron Shire need a festival site on its northern boundary? No. Of course this is merely my opinion based on my c u l t u r a l p e r s p e c t i ve , informed by seminal works such as E F Schumacher’s 1973 Small Is Beautiful series, which argues for sustainable development and attacks the concepts of ‘growth is good’ and ‘bigger is better’. Those not bound by my ancient Baby Boomer values might feel that Byron Shire needs even more parties or, in some cases, that the emulation of Parramatta Road, Sydney, is a good thing. In the 1980s and 1990s it was argued that Byron Shire was a living conservation area, the home of biodiversity, but perhaps that notion is now passé. However the refusal or otherwise of the Splendour site DA for a trial event – that’s an awful lot of money to spend for a ‘trial’ – does not need to be argued on cultural values but on planning matters. One could also throw in the social amenity of the neighbourhood but Byron Shire Council does not as yet have a social assessment policy.

Conservation moves Moves to protect the conservation values of the area, which includes the festival site traversed by Jones Road, began in the 1980s and culminated in 1995 in a petition to have the Jones Road area protected as a wildlife corridor. Conservation efforts also resulted in the declaration of the adjoining Billinudgel Nature Reserve, home of fragile wetlands. During this time Council was in argument with a previous landowner, Chum Vidgen. The then mayor Ian Kingston took this reporter on a plane ﬂight over areas, regarded as of habitat value, which had been cleared. Council knocked back a bunch of DAs from Mr Vidgen to develop various sites in the area. It would be perhaps ironic if Council now approved a development of much greater impact. In December 1997 NSW government Commissioner Kevin Cleland released the results of his Commission of Inquiry into proposed zonings of lands at North Ocean Shores – you can see a summary at www.coi.nsw.gov. au/report/1997-1998/6.php. He recognised the area’s high conservation values and supported Council’s zonings for sensitive habitat, introducing a property man-

agement plan for any agriculture on Mr Vidgen’s land, now part of the proposed Splendour site. Earlier in that year I walked parts of the land with Mr Cleland and other interested parties and it was obvious the land was ideal for retaining a wildlife corridor from the coast to the hinterland. Since then the state government has spent many millions in acquiring land for that purpose, and there is good argument for the government acquiring more. On September 25 last year Ballina MP Don Page, asking questions in parliament relating to the Splendour DA, noted the $15m spent by the government on conservation of the area and

tion objectives relating to ongoing management, enhancement and protection of environmentally sensitive land.’ Does a festival, or a series of festivals, for 22,500 patrons and associated infrastructure, ﬁt into that opportunity? Mr Doolan’s original recommendation seems far more sustainable. It can be argued that festivals, despite the plantings of NBSP, will not protect the high conservation values of the area. Those good works done and frequently advertised by NBSP are what one would expect from a good landowner in a high conservation area, whether lobbying for an entertainment venue, ‘envi-

it on. It was bought on spec without an appropriate zoning, after all. The Splendour crew could return to a Byron venue or spit the dummy and leave altogether. The loss? Entertainment and employment, but one would suspect Splendour wants to develop the northern site because it already has a good thing going in Byron Shire.

The A-Z of dance crazes POGO

For obvious reasons, at least to anyone who remembers the

pogo stick, the Pogo involves jumping up and down on the same spot, most often with the arms rigid and the legs close together. It resembles some African tribal dances but is usually associated with the punk rock movement; one theory has it that the dance was invented by Sid Vicious – see more at www.punk77.co.uk/ groups/pogodancing.htm

Cleaning the teeth not only feels fresh and brightens the teeth, but the build up of plaque can be the cause of much imbalance in the body including bacterial infection, bad breath, impaired digestion and the beginnings of periodontal disease. Regular observation of what is going on in the mouth can prevent later problems that can prove costly to both your health and bank account, so it’s good to include a check up in your visit.

a Very Bass Tale: The story of That 1 Guy

The uber comic Anthony Morgan has made his return to stand up with a performance at the Big Joke Festival in Bangalow on Saturday 15 February. We have a double pass to see Anthony Morgan, Gordon Southern and Jonathon Atherton in their full tilt headline extravaganza: Mad Dogs and Englishmen. Tix are valued at $37.50 each and we have two to give to you. Email mandypow@ echo.net.au with subject header ‘Funny You Should Say that.’

He’s been described as a ﬁgure from a Dr Seuss book. In a way that is exactly what he is. Mike Silverman and his electric home fashioned metal pipe are the musical enigma: That 1 Guy. This is a story which should give inspiration to bass players everywhere. It is the tale of a bass player who dreamed of being out front. A bass player who decided to ditch the band and make all the

sound himself. They said it couldn’t be done. But obviously Mike Silverman didn’t hear them. ‘I love being a bass player and I was always drawn to bass players who were out front, playing lead bass, it’s hard to do without looking like a total wanker, I love the role of the bass and I think it should be the foundation of the music. I never thought I would be able to do this kind of thing. It seemed

inconceivable more than anything, it’s the biggest thing I have ever achieved, and really it was on a dare. I used to play this club with my 8-piece band every Tuesday. It paid $50 for the whole band to split. I told the club owner if I turn up next week can I have the whole $50, and he said yes. I turned up d bought b h my b dd and bass and drum machine. There was no stage, no light guy and I was supposed to set up on the bar and go through the juke box. So I did the gig standing on the bar. There were six people there, but they were real intrigued and I remember getting off the bar and going I can’t believe I just did that! The bar owner said why don’t you come back next Tuesday and I did it for two years. It became a workshop and I thought what would I do this week – I would come up with something each week to make it better than the week before. Humans are remarkably resourceful! When you have to do shit really quick, you just do it.’ As Mike’s confidence grew, so did his vision for the pipe. The Magic Pipe, as he fondly calls his musical Frankenstein, was something he conceived of to create the ultimate bass. ‘I thought I’d build the thing for my birthday to see if I can do it, having a gig is pressure. I spent all week building it, I finished it the day of the show, it forced me to cut all this extra stuff I didn’t need – the functionality dictated the form. I got it up and it worked, the gig wasn’t stellar – but then I made it to this next stage – and things ended up happening – the other dangerous thing about taking too long is you can lose sight of what you were setting out to do in the first place.’ The instrument came together and has only required the occasional bit of fine tuning. ‘I am happy with it – it came together with a bunch of happy accidents – I built it at the right height – I have been playing it for nine years and it feels like my instrument – it’s a llittle weird – it’s steel, and metal is unforgiving, but it doesn’t change and it’s a good thing, that would frustrate me in my upright bass because it would sound different in every city,

becau of the humidity. I love the because c put it in the cargo hold on fact I can a plan plane and it can be 40 below and when I get it out it’s still in tune.’ Not e everyone can claim they have invented an instrument. Mike’ creation is still completMike’s un ely unique – it is the only one. ‘I have haven’t been seriously approached to manufacture them, it’s such an obscure thing. There is this coffee shop near my place where I used to go and sketch it out. I would kind of have this idea, and I’d start hammering away – I knew what I wanted to do, but I had never built an instrument before. I would walk up and down the aisles of hardware stores and look at clamps and go this could be my tuning machine. I hardly did any modification to the instrument, the weirdest part was the strings where the screw is on the fingerboard and the fact that it is playable. All the parts were meant to be used for something else.’ Mike has just finished recording an album with the engineer who recorded Tom Waits. ’I reconnected with this engineer I worked with three years ago and we got in the studio and I hammered the album out in two weeks. You can’t be too precious about your ideas, it’s all you’ve got.’ That 1 Guy got a chance to see a master at work when he played bass on Wait’s new album. ’I was totally intimidated, the coolest part was I got to watch them work. Everything he did was first take, everything came together so fast, it seemed so crafted, it was actually very working class, in terms of the ethic – he clocked in and clocked out and hammered it out. Remember reading the Beatles anthology, they came from working class families and they would approach recording the same way. It wasn’t about sitting around waiting for genius. You got in there and did the work. You are a craftsmen rather than an artist.’ That 1 Guy plays the Bangalow A&I Hall on Thursday 7 February.

VIBE aLIVE Last year I gathered up my small brood and moved them from the suburban enclaves of Byron to a bustling, vital and slightly demented country town that has all the North Coast colour that the Bay now sadly lacks: Mullumbimby. It’s like dairy farm meets Newtown, with agricultural supply stores nestled amongst rainbow crystal healing colonic gluten free ﬂag shops. Even the homeless man I saw rolling his own and drinking from a paper bag in the park was reading ‘The Peaceful Warrior.’ Commercialism, rampaging real estate ratbags and the selffocused nouveau riche have branded Byron with values that have bleached culture and community from the town as surely as blue green algae has destroyed The Barrier Reef. I still love Byron, but in the way you love someone for the essence of who they once were, not what they are now. Loving Byron is like being petulant MySpace party outlaw Corey Delaney’s Mum and Dad, a curious mix of shame and public titillation. (One can only hope he gets old, fat and boring fast.) The closest thing to a Kombi in Byron these days is a Wicked Van, chock full of sunburned Poms, emblazoned with a selection of tasty

homophobic/misogynist grafﬁti. The van that passed me this morning was covered with smoking dinosaurs and the delightful inscription: ‘The real reason dinosaurs became extinct: too many fags.’ Crikey, I thought there was a law against that. Apparently no one cares anymore. We’re too busy being fabulous and rich to notice the plight of anyone else... but we are environmentalists, we have four cars, a dishwasher, an inﬁnity pool with a 24 hour water feature, a 1000 square metre house for three people, but hey, we’ve got a worm farm and once a month a direct deposit that goes to Greenpeace. Right here on the North Coast we are facing something much more sinister. I call it: Vibe Kill. It’s a pattern established worldwide. Creative, bent and cutting edge communities create a vibe. Only the poor know how to create a good vibe like that, it’s because they’ve got nothing fucking else. The vibe creates a sensation of excitement and vitality. Suddenly a shitty suburb or sleepy beach community has an energy about it that can’t be articulated, it’s just that when you are there, you feel more alive than ever before. That’s when money moves in. Money has no vibe. It’s

Festival favourite and Ozomatli presenting the same oppositional politics, the same live shows that erupt into drum-line blessed community parties, and the same devotion to polyglot urban sound clashing. But here’s what’s new: after 12 years of collaborative songwriting, 12 years of constant touring everywhere from Denver to Tokyo to Sydney, 12 years of supporting antiwar mobilisations and global human rights movements, 12 years of pioneering Spanish-English mash-ups of hip hop, salsa, cumbia, dub, and Middle Eastern funk, and most importantly, 12 years of facing up to internal battles and personal struggles, they’ve emerged anew with their fourth fulllength studio album, Don’t Mess With The Dragon, the band’s most cohesive, polished, and joyous record to date. Michelle Shocked is a two-time Grammy nominee who made a big impact on the music world with a trio of acclaimed releases, and according to the Rolling Stone: ‘A decade before Ani DiFranco emerged as this generation’s hardcore female troubadour, Michelle Shocked escaped the hills of east Texas (via Amsterdam and San Francisco) to play her revolutionary folk blues, a music that is less about

politics than it is a personal declaration of independence.’ But the big new is that The Cruel Sea are reforming for an exclusive Bluesfest appearance. This legendary Australian band ﬁrst formed in 1988 with the original line-up of Ken Gormley on bass, Jim Elliot on drums, Dan Rumour on guitar and James Cruikshank on keyboard and guitar. A year later, their then lighting technician Gregory ‘Tex’ Perkins began to join the band during their inner-city Sydney pub gigs, displaying his raw lyrical talent and eventually cementing his place as the Cruel Sea’s frontman. With the release of ‘The Honeymoon is Over’ in 1993, the band picked up ffour ARIA awards, including Best Australian Group and Best Australian Album. They followed up with ‘Three Legged Dog’, featuring the hit single Better Get a Lawyer, and a world tour. During a mid-’90s break, Perkins forged a successful solo career, and now returns to the stage with his Cruel Sea bandmates to deliver the solid Australian rock sounds we’ve come to love over the past 20 years.

CASS EAGER TOURS HER ‘BEAUTIFUL DAYS’ She’s played for our troops from East Timor to Eygpt, toured across US/Canada three times, and even given Prince Harry guitar lessons! Cass Eager returns home on the heels of her debut album release Beautiful Day. After a recent tour with Ash Grunwald, a WA Tour) and announced as a ﬁnalist for the MusicOz Awards in the Blues/Roots Category (featured on the cover of Sydney’s Drum Media), she is heading back north this month for the last of her ‘Beautiful Days’ Summer Tour. Cass’s sound travels the gamut from soul to blues, folk to funk and roots to reggae. Her distinctive pipes and guitar playing have drawn comparisons to everyone from Bonnie Raitt to Jack Johnson, Nina Simone and Ben Harper…with a hint of Janis Joplin always thrown in. Despite these comparisons, ‘soul sister Cass is no pale imitation’(NDL). She’s been described as ‘one of Sydney’s most gifted singer-songwriters, whose refreshingly honest, raspy, almost Joplin-esque like voice is hers alone, and whose eclectic songwriting will spellbind the listener.’ (Drum Media). On stage, Cass is armed with an acoustic and lap steel guitar, electric ukulele and stompbox, and she will be joined on tour by Steve Cummins on guitar/bass. She plays the Rails on Tuesday.

I NEED A WITNESS The Witness returns to the Beach Hotel for a feature performance on Sunday. The group has recently received a massive response for both their opening set at

the Amp Fiddler support in early January as well as their performance at the recent Exodus Live Festival. The lush vocal stylings of Miss Carla Versitano were an expected highlight at both gigs and never fail to move and inspire audiences. She has honed her sound and delivery into one of the most unique and recognisable voices on the Australian soul scene. The band itself has cultivated positive momentum over the last year and are primed for an uplifting afternoon of lush soul for the their first feature gig in Byron this summer. The lineup has settled into a defined 7-piece sound that’s continually getting stronger and more refined with every performance.The band has begun work on their first LP, which is expected to be out by the end of the year. This process has already taken the grooves to a higher level, much to the delight of the dance-floor. The Witness will perform with their new 9-piece band. The band will be the same lineup that seduced audiences at the Rous earlier this month. In just a few performances since the launch of the band in February 2007, The Witness has established itself as one of the best original acts on the coast. Since writing more tracks in the last month The Witness has a developed a lush blend of sounds based on R&B, soul and dub stylings. They play the Beachie from 4pm.

UPRIGHT MEN SELL OUT Last Friday hundreds of people were stunned by the talent of Ross Nobel and The Upright Men. This band of fathers and sons showcased the established Dad talent alongside the emerging genius of their superstar sons. Audience members at the Bangalow Catholic Hall gasped: ‘They knocked our crocs off!!!’ Ross Nobel’s songwriting is undeniably brilliant! It’s intimate revelatory McCartneyesque material that delves into the soul and faithfully records its pain and its triumphs. They are really great songs that work well for all age groups. The group combines two fathers and their three sons, playing Cajun-tinged gospel and rocking blues ballads. This music is the story of a family man’s inner journey, its travails and its treasures and showcases Ross’s outstanding songs from his last two albums: Upright Man Vol 1 & 2. This crossgenerational band creates a perfect space for this very human, soulful music to resonate strongly with the whole family. Ross Nobel is a brilliant blues piano man and singer who has performed internationally supporting acts such as The Neville Brothers. He has played and recorded with some of Australia’s top musicians including: Todd Hunter, Stu Hunter, John Butler Trio, Portishead, David Symes Darren Percival, Thierry

STANDUP COMEDY TAKE A WALK ON THE DARK SIDE Every comedian dreams for national success, regular TV exposure and a proﬁle that allows you to name your price. Anthony Morgan had all that, and he let it go. At the height of his career, with a weekly spot on Denton Live as the Melbourne reporter, Morgan moved to Tasmania, bought a cowboy hat on e-bay and lived the simple life. ROSS NOBEL AND THE UPRIGHT MEN AT THE BYRON COMMUNITY CENTRE ON THURSDAY

Fossemalle, Hamish Stuart and Felix Bloxom. Ross moved to the Shire in 2006 to live in Mullumbimby. Dad number two is Bertrand Lalanne: Bert drummed with the famous John Mayall Blues band in the USA and lead the cult rock trio Six-Foot Cake through its European tours from 1994-2000. He has since played with top-ﬂight players, here and overseas. He moved to the Shire in 2007. The younger generational members are aged between 14-16 and two, Holden and Tennyson are sons of Ross’s and Felix is Bernard Lalanne’s son. The fourth member of the Chills is Charan Hollingworth on drums. They are already writing fantastic original songs as well and having just released an EP which they had on sale for the ﬁrst time on Friday night. Susie from Ku is touting that the kids are ‘the next Silverchair’. The band perform a special show for all those who couldn’t make it, got turned away or want to do it again at the Byron Community Centre on Thursday. Tix: $18/$15 and $12 school age at the door only from 7.30pm.

THE AMAZING ADVENTURES OF MR SHEEHAN He drums here, he drums there, Mr Sheehan drums everywhere. He is the drummers drummer. He is the drummer’s drummers drummer. Every cell of Greg Sheehan is a percussive entity. Grey is getting ready to present a very special evening of percussion, one that will be something like biting a metaphorical mushroom and going

through a tiny door into an amazing place. Greg Sheehan presents Adventures in Rhythmland at Coorabell Hall on Friday. $15 tix at the door only. Show at 9pm.

MR WILLING NEEDS BASS Usually I wouldn’t do this, but Jimmy Willing is such a charming gent. He’s the only person who ever rings me up tells me his news, has a giggle and a chat, tells me a funny story and tells me he loves me. It’s delightful. And I know it’s in a nice warm way one eccentric loves another. If you’d like to get involved with one of the hardest working talents in local show biz, Jimmy is looking for a new double bass player. Applicants must have a professional attitude and be able to slap a bull ﬁddle. If you think you ﬁt the bill Please contact Jimmy Willing at jiimmywilling@hotmail.com

JOIN A CHOIR Local singer Parissa Bouas is not only acclaimed for her singing with The Hottentots, but is much appreciated for her vocal workshops and choirs. She’s just come back from the Daylesford Singer’s Festival in Victoria where she led warm-ups and Greek singing workshops. Her local choir, Byron Community Choir, for want of a better name, starts up again in the Byron Bay Community Centre on Tuesday 29 January, 7 – 8.30pm. Cost for 11 weeks is $187. ‘We had a lot of fun singing together last year and we did 4 little performances, just enough for people to get a taste for the buzz of performing…

but the main focus is to bring people together in their love of singing, release their inhibitions and have some musical fun. You don’t have to be a brilliant singer or have past experience. I’ll be starting with easier pieces and seeing where the group is at. I’ll also be using warm ups that improve the voice and train the ear to hear harmony and rhythm better. It takes a while for a choir to build its sound.’ In 2000 Parissa co-wrote the anthemic, ‘ Put Your Hand in Mine’for the Woodford Millennium Fire Event Choir of 700 voices, which she also conducted. The performance before a crowd of 20,000 was beamed across Australia and to 1.6 billion people in 61 countries. Those who want to continue improving their voices might also choose to have private tuition. Parissa has been a vocal coach for over 10 years and she was the Head of Vocal Studies at the Northern Rivers Conservatorium for 3 years and for the past 5 years she has lectured inVoice at Southern Cross University. She is hoping that some blokes get the courage to join up - and they don’t think it’s too wussy. Actually, what about spending one night a week with over 30 women. Gees, if I was a single fella... For more information on the choir and private tuition contact Parissa on 66808878.

Last year he made his welcome return to the Melbourne Comedy Festival. It was while on stage that he remarked of his ironic career. ‘A few years ago I was playing to 1500 f---ing people at the Town Hall and now I’m playing to 30 at a shitty bar in Fitzroy.’ Morgan’s most enduring and endearing quality has always been his willingness to admit he is a broken man. It’s the quality that the Aussie public ﬁrst fell in love with when he made his debut on the legendary ABC groundbreaking comedy show, The Big Gig, almost two decades ago. A reviewer at a recent Melbourne Comedy Festival appearance raved about the reappearance of his tragicomic genius. Anthony Morgan was as good as, if not better, than the legendary reputation that has preceded him for all those long years. It was side-splittingly funny and was as much about the comedy as it was the really quite marvellous storytelling.’ The comic who moved to Tasmania is in fact a little like Tasmania himself. Small, dejected, prone to isolation, but so unique it should be heritage listed.’ In a triple bill worthy of any international comedy festival, Morgan is joined by Jonathan Atherton and UK comic Gordon Southern

who are about to work together at Singapore’s The 1 Nite Stand Comedy Club. Jonathan laughed about their ﬁrst Asian meeting and then eventual performance just 5 weeks later in Bangalow. ‘It’s the African Tradition. When a friend is leaving you walk half way with them and then you walk home, that way in the end you have both walked the same distance!’ Atherton is another comic who is well versed in the language of the dark side, as it is a place he uses to source his brilliant routine. ‘I think we all have it, but as comedians we tend to dig more deeply into the psyche and we are generally more self absorbed! What’s amazing is that I don’t really think there is good and evil. I am trying to get into my comedy more that we are all one, that we are a random thought in the universe. When you can feed on the collective, that’s where the magic happens, then you become a conduit. You are just a humble messenger of something better and people feel a connection to each other.’ Mad Dogs and Englishman: Anthony Morgan, Jonathan Atherton and Gordon Southern, headlining The Big Joke Comedy Festival in Bangalow on Friday 15 February at 7pm at the Bangalow A&I Hall. Tickets are $37.50 and can be booked on line at www. thebigjoke.com.au or can be purchased directly at the Urban or by phoning 6687 2000

BIG JOKE FOR KIDS The Big Joke Comedy Festival is not just for grown ups, there’s a series of workshops and events for the kiddies. Firstly, there is the return of Funny Kids, a standup comedy workshop with over thirty kids that ends in a 2 hour megashow

TIM OBER – ONE OF THE MANY INCREDIBLE KIDS PERFORMING IN FUNNY KIDS, ON SATURDAY 16 FEBRUARY AT THE A&I HALL FROM 3PM

where the kids showcase their standup routines. The kids share stories about their life, about how they feel about their family, their school, their friends, their dog, themselves. Most importantly its kids talking about kid stuff to other kids! Local kids have also contributed to the artistic ambience of the festival with many of their faces featured in the Funny Faces gurning exhibition where over 100 men, women and children pulled their most frighteningly funny face. The People’s Choice Funniest Face will win the honour of being the Face of The Big Joke 2009. Those red faced moments are also captured by kids in an exhibition at The Urban: ‘OMG: How Embarrassment’. A week or so ago, a bunch of bored kids got together and dug deep into the shame bank to come up with goods. The paintings include ‘My Uncle Matt Singing in the Shower’ to ‘What happened to my nose at the pool’ to ‘the missing underpants’. (Proceeds raised from the sale of these paintings go to Kaylee MacKenzie, a young Tweed Valley girl with Cystic Fibrosis, diabetes

FREQUENT THE BLUE BIRDY The Frequents is a 9 piece Funk, Neo Soul, RNB outﬁt with rhymes. They have been frequenting the Nite Cat and Vineyard in Melbourne and are set to play to play the North Coast starting with a Wednesday gig at The Blue Birdy.

and Aspergers. At 16 Kaylee has just been accepted into The Academy of Design and her Mum (who is a single parent) needs to raise a substantial amount of money so that Kaylee can realise her dream.) Stand Up Comic and Circus performer Dolores will be running two major kids performance workshops. The ﬁrst is on Saturday 16 Feb, at 10am and is limited to just 15 kids. Called ‘Kids Clowning Workshop, it’s only $15 and in just two hours Dolores will have kids performing slick circus stunts. Kids are only required to bring enthusiasm and an impromptu costume. It’s for under 12’s, with a performance titled ‘Two Minute Noodles’ that features Suzy Leigh, aka Tina Trash at 12.30pm. The following day, Dolores will conduct a workshop she calls ‘Open Slather Fun’ – this is full on fun circus, comedy and clowning hoe down. For the kids who are more artistically inclined and would rather express their wit with a pen, standup comedian and cartoonist Brendan Lovechild is conducting a Kid’s Cartooning Workshop at 11am on Saturday. In two hours he will give the kids a quick history on cartoons and have them produce their very own comic strip. Each child at the workshop will produce their very own laminated cartoon and it will be projected in the Big Joke Bar as part of a preshow presentation later that evening. Saturday 16

POETRY STANZA AND DELIVER The Bang Thai kicks off the ﬁrst poetry night of 2008 with resident MC Angus Thurgate, adored for his penchant for puns and brilliant comedic poetry. Held on the fourth Friday of each month, January’s Poetry Night is on this Friday. It all kicks off at 7pm with children’s readings preceding the sometimes, more adult themed offerings from the ‘grown ups’. Admission is free and guest poets, children and adults alike, are invited for open mic participation. A prize will be awarded to the best of each night with the winner going forward to an end of year Grand Final with a grand prize to match. Bookings are essential and should be made by calling the restaurant on 6687 2000. THEATRE ROMEO ROMEO, WHY ART THOU IN LISMORE ROMEO? Trinity Catholic College have built themselves an impressive reputation for presenting high quality dramatic works. Jack Dods who ﬁnished Yr 12 in 2007 has been invited to perform in the prestigious On Stage in Sydney at The Seymour Centre. This year’s major production for Trinity Catholic College is the Shakespearean classic

Romeo and Juliet. One of the joys of a Shakespearian production is how the company chooses to set the piece. Trinity Catholic College has chosen Sicily in the 1950s. The Director Peter Derrett says this allows students to experiment with the Mafia concept and makes the striving for love overcoming hate even more moving. The Shakespearean text is underscored with Italian and a continuous cinematic live music score by Michael Marlin and Jude Magee. The central cast is the incoming Year 12 students who worked on this text last year as part of their preliminary course. They are joined by a number of incoming year 11 students and some Juniors. In all some 60 students and staff are involved. An audience treat is in the four ‘fates’…Year 12 acting students who speak fluent Italian. There are big fight scenes set against domestic conflict and all leading to the demise of the starcrossed lovers. Performances are as follows: Wednesday – Saturday, 30 Jan – 2 Feb at 7pm with a Saturday 2pm matinee. It’s held at The Champagnat Centre for Performing Arts, Hindmarsh Street, Lismore and tickets are available at Caddies Coffee Lismore.

with Jackie Onassid

At Exodus I heard many stories about Freakreation and they were mainly positive. I felt it fair to give the promoters a platform to speak their mind: Q: Ziv, what were your ﬁrst actions dealing with the increasing rainfall at the Freakreation site?

DJ KETAMIND

A: ‘Our first move was to call the SES early Saturday morning, the water rose so quickly. I was digging trenches around the office and the chill tent to protect our equipment and had others working to dig trenches around the main stage as well. Once we made contact with the Tenterfield SES they came out to assess the situation and talked to us about what we’d need to get through the next couple of days. We certainly felt as though everything would be alright. These guys really got the ball rolling with the council and DOCS to help us out.’ Q: How did you handle the food-shortage?

TRANCE-ISLAND ‘1000 stranded festival goers leave Island’ read a headline Wednesday 9 January. Flooding had cut off the bridge to Boonoo Boonoo Island during the Freakreation electronic dance music festival which began on Friday 4 January. The bridge collapsed and was being restored the following Tuesday afternoon. Cars had to be left, rental car

companies got handed in keys by party-goers that swam out from the site, others didn’t swim out to safety but instead swam across and into the party! For many revelers it was a oncein-a-life-time experience not to be missed and they partied hard. ‘Freakreation will deﬁnitely go ahead on a different site next year’, says Ziv aka DJ Ketamind and one of the promoters of the festival.

A: ‘It became apparent that a lot of travellers attending the party weren’t as set up as most of the local crews but after making an announcement on the main stage that we were in fact ﬂooded in, we asked that everyone pull together and look after each other. And once people realized they needed to take a little responsibility for themselves like collecting water from their tarps or boiling creek water, it took a lot of

pressure off us. Once the SES helicopter brought supplies, we began to distribute them equally amongst the people.’ ’A special thanks to the Tenterfield SES crew, DOCS disaster relief who funded the supplies, Tenterfield police and council for acting so quickly to ensure our safety and exit off Boonoo Boonoo Island. Next is an extra special thanks to our crew! We held tight and managed to feed hundreds of people whilst keeping order and addressing any issues from patrons.’ Q: I heard the people weren’t deterred from partying, how was the party? A: ‘For our team it was non stop. It is hard enough to run a festival under normal circumstances, but when you are in the middle of a declared disaster zone as well it kind of bumped it up a notch. The bad weather really brought the people together and created such an awesome vibe and the music didn’t stop for the whole five days.’

DOUBLE PLUGGA 2 Invasion Day, also known as Australia Day brings you DJs Audun, resident of Friday nights at Elsewhere and Sampology who certainly delivered the goods at the last Ambercam production supporting Kid Kenobi at the Backroom. Local DJs this Saturday are Brad Vortex and Sarah Tonin. Audun, a Norwegian expatriate calls his style bent electronic boogie. Audun is mindful of the signiﬁcance of January 26, ‘Having ‘invaded’ this wonderful country myself nine years ago, I suppose it’ll be appropriate to play a set focusing on bringing the people in the room together, uniting everyone despite our differences, and having a good ol’ carefree dance.’ Tickets are on sale now so hurry in ‘coz it’s going to be another sell out OZ-day gig after the success of the inaugural Double Plugga 2007.

SUNSHINE BURST AND IMMERSED EXODUS A full lake, good access roads to and within the party-site, all promises kept! The main stage’s sound lavishly accommodated for a great variety of acts and DJs. The Trance area was a pleasure to be in, even for a post-ﬂuro punter like me. The use of the site was the best so far and the musical diversity exceeded previous events.

ELSEWHERE Friday 25 Electronic Boogie Show with Casey Steele + Audun Saturday 26 motion:theory w/ DJs Thomas J + Ben Abrahams Sunday 27 Royale with DJs, unannounced guest + Giv (Toomba Records)

Q: Did any internationals dare to play? A: ‘Yes! There were a few that got in early enough, Zirkin, Haltya , HighpersonicWoman, Headphonics, Justin Space, Psymmetrix, Dirty Safﬁ, Crazy Ducks, Sygmatix all made the journey and we were happy to have some of them play more than one set! ‘

TUESDAY’S LEO FULL MOON AMPS UP ROMANTIC HORMONES, AQUARIUS SUN/ MERCURY HAS EVERYONE WONDERING WHICH WAY IS UP AND AS FOR PLUTO JOINING VENUS AND JUPITER IN CAPRICORN – WELL, MORE ABOUT THAT NEXT WEEK…

ARIES: While this week’s tearaway energy provides plenty of challenging distractions, it’s certainly worthwhile taking care of unﬁnished business and tying off loose ends before Mercury turns retrograde for the ﬁrst of its three annual three-week glitch periods next Monday.

GEMINI: This week brings unusual people, offers or experiences which, variety being the spice of life for Geminis, is quite your cup of chai. Investigate new ideas on how to get more bang for your buck, but resist temptations to build on anything less than ethical foundations. CANCER: A beneﬁc Mars/ Venus contact sweetens the coming weekend’s togetherness, after which Uranus/Pluto inﬂuences could turn your world topsy-turvy. You can’t control abrupt change, but you can control the way you deal with it – wherein lies this week’s work and learning curves. LEO: Treat this week’s world as a problem solving mechanism which you present with dilemmas so it can whip hidden forces into action on your behalf while

VIRGO: Tuesday’s full Moon in your house of secrets looks set to illuminate something you weren’t aware of in a relationship, ﬁnancial or career issue. Then as Virgo Moon increases your prestige and popularity, you won’t have to work hard for admiration and appreciation. LIBRA: As small but powerful planet Pluto reveals new depths in people you thought you knew, this week requires attention to the home zone and family matters. Loved ones may need to assert their independence, but understanding and careful handling will defuse tension. SCORPIO: Present astral patterns are exaggerating your Scorpionic tendency to be a bit ﬁxed, a tad rigid or just a little stubborn about doing things the way you always have. But it’s also a peak week to check out genius new shortcuts for doing away with major amounts of boring slog. SAGITTARIUS: A week of opulent offers, unexpected retractions, rapid expansion, snap contractions, abrupt

beginnings, sudden finishes, grand plans and seductive schemes. Stay receptive to flashes of inspiration, but also be aware everything can change in a heartbeat right now. And probably will. CAPRICORN: The Capricorn born are now entering a particularly potent period of personal growth and progress – though not an easy time, since Pluto shadowing your Sun can feel like an eclipse. If you suddenly crave heaps of solitude and retreat, go with it. AQUARIUS: Happy birthday Aquarians, in the power point of your year. Expect an entertaining week with surprises up its sleeve, though you’ll have plenty of inspiration to deal with them. For serious challenges trust your internal guidance, even if it’s not what you want to hear. PISCES: While this week’s energies are still semidependable – a quality likely to be in high demand and short supply by next week – it’s worth getting basic business taken care of. Tuesday’s fiery full Moon suggests dramatic happenings which can still work to your advantage.

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

A week after the conclusion of the 2008 Australian Championships in Parramatta, pundits are already asserting that the Australian Open team for the 2008 Dresden Olympiad in November is already almost settled. With International Masters Zhao Zong Yuan and David Smerdon and Grandmaster Darryl Johansen already virtually secure after excellent results in 2007, the remaining two places in the team look likely to be filled by the two top locals in the Championship, Stephen Solomon and George

Xie. Xie is pictured above. Solomon, 45, is hardly a new face, having already represented Australia at seven previous Olympiads. The new Australian Champion has not played outside Australasia since the 2004 Calvia Olympiad but, despite his age, has maintained remarkably consistent form of late and will hit a career peak world ranking on the April international ranking list. For Xie, Dresden would be a first taste of Olympic fame after unluckily being omitted from the Australian team in 2006. The 22-year-old Sydney IM started the Australian Championship tournament disastrously, losing two of his first three games to Canberra’s young stars Gareth Oliver and Junta Ikeda. However Xie recovered brilliantly, claiming Johansen LATEST RELEASES INSTORE THIS WEEK

and Brazilian IM Herman van Riemsdijk among his victims. Xie came to Australia from Tianjin, China, in 1999 at age 14 with a serious chess pedigree; his father was a FIDE Master and Xie had already been talent-spotted by the Tianjin Chess Academy. Once in Australia, Xie was taken under the wing of former Australian Champion Fred Flatow, who helped Xie both with his chess development and his dealings with the Immigration Department. Xie’s breakthrough year came in 2005 when he was named Australian Player of the Year after a stand-out result at the Asian Championships in Hyderabad. A year later Xie went one better by winning the 2006 Australian Masters ahead of GMs Johansen and Dejan Antic. Xie’s most exciting game

in Parramatta came in the seventh round against Filipino FM Jesse Sales, a case of diamond cut diamond with Xie proving the sharper. Parramatta 2008 White: G Xie Black: J Sales Opening: Scotch Gambit 1.d4 Nc6 2.e4 e5 3.Nf3 exd4 4.Bc4 Bc5 5.c3 d3!? Far from the safe option which Sales hopes for. 5...Nf6 leads to lines well investigated in the 19th century. 6.b4 Bb6 7.Qb3 Qe7 8.0-0 d6 9.a4 a6?! 9...a5 is safer. 10.a5 Ba7 11.b5 axb5 12.Qxb5! Nf6 13.e5! dxe5 14.Ba3 Qd7 15.Nxe5 Nxe5 16.Qxe5+ Kd8 17.Qg3 Qf5 18.Bxf7? After 18.Bxd3 Black would be in dire straits, whereas now Black gets an unexpected chance to turn the tables. 18...Ng4?! 19.Bc4?! Ne5? Missing 19...Nxf2! 20.Rxf2 Re8!! after which White is helpless. 20.Qxg7 Re8 21.Bb5 c6 22.Bd6! Nf7? Now Sales collapses completely. 22... Bd7 keeps Black in the game. 23.Bxd3!

CLOVERFIELD The poor old Brooklyn Bridge cops it again in this smashing hybrid of Godzilla meets The Blair Witch Project. It does not start promisingly. At a Manhattan surprise party to farewell Rob, who has accepted a corporate vice-presidency in Japan (he seems far too young to be promoted to anything more demanding than sous chef), the characters we meet are pain in the arse smug rich kids. The girls, without exception beautiful, are all from the Perfect Size 8 With Tits Agency and the boys, of the insouciantly stubbled and suavely scruffy school, undoubtedly dump odourless number twos and, quite frankly, I didn’t have a care what horrors might await their manicures, coifs or cell

phones. But things take a turn when the monster rolls into town – and not only is it a kick-arse monster, but it sheds these horrendous squealing arachnoid things whose bite induces a delayed onset of lurid ebola. Rob’s friend Hud, who had been assigned the task of capturing with mini-cam the events of the send-off, inadvertently records for posterity the mayhem that is unleashed on New York City. Why he couldn’t frame a picture at the party which was anything remotely near square beats me, but the shaky, skewed, hand-held imagery becomes perfectly appropriate when he, Rob and a couple of skirts hit the streets with the mob as the monster’s blitzkrieg begins. Rob, being the alpha male

(remember, he scored that impressive job) becomes leader of the pack and, going against the torrent of evacuees, heads back into the carnage to save his sweetheart. For some unfathomably stupid reason, the other three follow him. The CGI is fantastic (is there nothing they cannot simulate now?), but tends to minimise the impact, or ‘truthfulness,’ as in Blair Witch, of the home movie presentation. Undeniably however, the action, when it takes off, is a roller coaster ride and the sensaround vibrates up through the seat. Heart stopping terror is never a factor, as it is in the ﬁnal sequence of Blair Witch (can anybody stand that panic stricken scramble through the abandoned house?), for monsters, by their unreal nature, do not have the capacity to cripple one’s rational responses in the way that an unseen maniac can. Nonetheless, this is the sort of movie that you can’t help being caught up in, clichéd but unpredictable and, most praiseworthy, not dragging on for ages. ~ John Campbell

JUNO As early as about ten minutes into this darling ﬁlm you can tell that you will be reduced to tears before the issue is settled. (In my case I had a strong inkling even before the folksy opening credits had run their course.) Ellen Page, the Canadian actress who put in such an unnerving performance as a pedophile’s torturer in Hard Candy (2005), is sixteen year old Juno, a typical teenager somewhere in middle America (or as likely Australia, if the FULLY AIR-CONDITIONED EVERY WEDNESDAY ALL SEATS ALL SESSIONS $8 ONLY

response of the Byron crowd is anything to go by). She discovers that she has fallen pregnant to her nerdy track and field schoolmate, Paulie Bleeker. After being told that her foetus already has fingernails, and being exposed to a dispiriting abortion clinic, Juno’s conscience is activated and she decides against a termination. Instead, she resolves to stay at school, go the distance and deliver her baby to a well meaning couple who have advertised their eagerness to be adoptive parents in the local paper. So begins Juno’s journey of self-discovery and growing up. Page, whom I doubted to begin with, conjures a thoughtful, natural performance, ridding herself imperceptibly, layer by layer, of youth’s wisecracking disregard for anything and anybody but itself. The couple chosen by Juno are Vanessa and Mark. She (a Julia Roberts twin) is desperate to become a mother, whilst Mark is a professional musician of unfulfilled ambition. Juno and Mark hit it off immediately and the relationship that grows between them is the catalyst for the drama that unfolds. You might think that you know where the story is headed at this point, but the turn it takes is concealed perfectly until the bombshell is dropped. Breezy and loaded with laughs without ever disengaging from the seriousness of its subject, Juno’s blossoming is complimented by delightful original music which might just as easily have gushed over into schmaltz but, almost against type, never

strikes a wrong chord. There is so much to love about this movie – Juno’s heart to heart with her Dad, Bleeker running from his athletics meet to the hospital when Juno is in labour, the birth itself (the best since Truly, Madly, Deeply) and a great

support cast – with director Jason Reitman doing the audience a huge favour by allowing Juno and Bleeker, in the front yard, to serenade us with the sweetest of closing duets. Too good to miss. ~ John Campbell

Victoria Cosford My last lady is the wonderful, energetic Wendy Taylor. OfďŹ cially retired, she is however a woman constantly on the run, involved in the Slow Food Movement, teaching cooking classes, painting, travelling overseas regularly. She talked about regional cuisine on ABC radio for three years, has cooked and entertained and read about food pretty much all her life, and is one of the most knowledgeable people on the subject I have ever met. Dining together at a restaurant recently she stunned us all when she asked the waiter if the lobster on the menu was â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;weed-eatingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; or â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;crustacean-eatingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. The waiter, equally stunned, said he would have to ask the kitchen and when he returned he admitted that even the head chef was stumped. So, we clamoured to know, whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the difference? According to Wendy those lobsters who feed on weeds have a watery ďŹ&#x201A;avour while the ones feeding on crustaceans are sweet. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s this sort of arcane knowledge that makes Wendy such interesting company, and also such a fantastic cook. I have been invited to dinner at her pink house and been served the most gorgeous food based solely on what her little vegetable garden has yielded that morning: fresh corn on the cob, a lemony broccoli soup with warrigal greens, croutons topped with a silverbeet cream and an anchovy ďŹ llet, baby green beans, a salad of baby radicchio, poached pears, parsley, blue cheese and walnuts. The funny thing is that what she considers simple and no-fuss, most of the rest of us would ďŹ nd daunting and time-consuming. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Keep it funâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, she insists, then tells me about the pickled

tuna she makes which keeps for two weeks, the pickled tiny threads of eggplant that keep forever and the Beijing pickled cabbage which also keeps for weeks and which goes well with grilled scallops! Not to mention her custom of serving green tea with roasted rice at the end of a meal in little handle-less bamboo cups. She suggests that you grow your own rocket so that there is always a ďŹ rst course salad â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and to keep the best oil and red wine vinegar possible. With the rocket you can serve fresh pears; spiced apples; julienned thin black bread, tomato chunks and red onion; prosciutto, smoked chicken or smoked ďŹ sh. There will generally be a big antipasto platter to which guests can help themselves, only requiring lots of crusty bread for accompaniment â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and consisting of all those pickled things, char-grilled capsicum and eggplant, thickly sliced tomatoes with basil and goatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cheese or fetta, olives and frittatas. Wendy has lots of tricks using canned food, ways to make them gourmet â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and so she will drain and rinse baby beets, roll them in cumin, salt and garlic then bake them; or she will soften onions in oil, add a tin of diced tomatoes, chicken stock, chilli, salt and pepper and serve it in a small bowl â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;along with a shot of the very best vodka you can affordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Or drain chickpeas or cannellini beans then whizz them in a food processor with garlic and oil to serve as a thick sauce with lamb or as a dip. Needless to say, Wendy has a well-stocked pantry and a glorious kitchen â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not to mention a husband who catches ďŹ sh all the time!

FLOOD RELIEF The recent bout of ďŹ&#x201A;ooding has impacted severely on many country areas â&#x20AC;&#x201C; so much so that a local restaurant has stepped forward and joined forces with Kyogle Flood Relief in presenting a special fundraising evening. The Bayside Bar & Grill in Fletcher Street, Byron Bay, will hold a three-course meal with matching wines, live entertainment and special guests on Tuesday 29 January at a cost of $150 a head, with all proceeds going to the ďŹ&#x201A;ood relief. With chef Tippy Hengâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s award-winning food complemented by carefully selected wines hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a way of combining hedonism with altruism! The evening kicks off at 7pm, and bookings are essential. Phone 6685 5151 for reservations and further information.

Sports Roundup with Eve Jeffery

Does my netball look big in this? Eve Jeffery When I was a kid you couldn’t keep me down. All I can ever remember doing as a little tacker was running. I ran from the bathroom to the bedroom, from the classroom to the netball courts and from one neighbourhood house to another. ‘STOP RUNNING IN THE HOUSE!’ still echoes in my ears. When I was about seven I made running official and joined a Little Athletics team. I ran for Cheltenham North which was one of fourteen clubs in the Moorabbin division. Once I started little aths I also discovered jumping, hurdling and throwing, add to that the warming up and socialising and Saturday mornings became a four hour workout which if I did it today I would be as fit as a Mallee Bull, but in those days we didn’t think of it as work. It was fun! When I was in primary school all I wanted to do was hear the bell ring so I could get to the netball court, and in summer we played softball. Netball, softball, netball, softball, year in year out that’s what we did in any spare moment from the classroom. At our school once you were in grade 5 you could become part of the team that played against other schools and as far as I was concerned that was my goal in life, sad but true, as an eight year old all I wanted to be for the rest of my life was a fifth grade netballer. I nagged and nagged my teachers all through the third

and fourth grade to the point that, at the ripe old age of nine, they let me play representative netball a year early simply to shut me up. Queen of the world before I was ten. I had achieved all that I set out to do. Once I reached high school my life was complete. Physical Education was a real actual subject that was part of the time table and everything.YAY! I had found the Holy Grail. Every week home economics (can you believe they call it that?) and French blurred past in a fuzz of ﬂour and frou frou as merely the price you had to pay to be rewarded with PE. The greatest reward came in form four when a happy lassie was able to add four hours a week of elective PE to the 3 hours required by the board of education. I

wonder if school had continued up to form one hundred and eleventy, I would have stayed until the whole week was made up of elective PE? In the two glorious years that I didn’t learn to type, sew, parler français or keep my home economically, I did learn to play squash, tennis, basketball, badminton, ping pong, cricket, soccer, hockey and to save another swimmer. I also had the chance to ski, surf, canoe, ice skate (oh I loved that – way like ﬂying), ride a horse and high dive. BLISS! At the same time, on the weekends I was playing netball and riding either my bike or my skateboard to everywhere I needed to go. By the time I was 16 I reckon I was burning seven hundred and thirty million calories a week.

After twelve and a half years of education, I decided that I knew everything there was to learn and joined the work force. I had several jobs as a performance artist and as I was singing and dancing my way through my days, I ﬁgured I was doing enough exercise and besides all that, netball was so 80’s and there wasn’t the time. When I was a rich and famous I would hire a personal trainer. Not. The fame somehow found Cate Blanchett’s house instead of mine, (like she’s talented), and the rich went the same way. I suspect Cate has my buffed personal trainer as well. Bi-otch. When I found myself the size of a brick shite’ouse I knew that I had made a boo boo. I did try for a while after my second bub to play net-

ball again, but soon found that there were new parts to my body that hadn’t existed when I was teenager and it was virtually impossible to play over or around them, and I thought I looked too much like one of those early thirties mothers who had let herself go to be running around in the little pleated skirt. I was talking to a group of young dancers a few months ago. Gorgeous girls of all shapes and sizes with fantastic figures and fabulous flexibility. We were discussing the next few years of their lives and what they were going to do. They were all shooting off in different directions and most of them didn’t plan to continue with their dancing. When I asked why, the responses were the same moving/working/boy friending/uni-ing/I-get-enoughexercise-at-work type excuses that I had used to convince myself twenty five years ago. I immediately put on my ‘miss important pants’ voice and gave them what for. I was half way through my rave when I remembered the voices from the past telling me the same thing. Echoes of ‘don’t give up you will never go back’ and you’ll get too unfit then it will be too late’ shot through my memory like a starters gun. I realised that these young women would take about as much notice of me as I took of the fatty boombah who told me what to do. I always thought I was never going to be like her because I was a fit chicky and a week or two

A blast from the blurry past. 1970 something OLA netball champs

on the court would fix any unfittery I gained smoking pot, eating pizza and drinking bourbon. My bad. At the ripe old age of 41, me and my fat butt took up lap swimming for the first time ever. That day I swam 6 laps and knew I was a lost cause. After three months I could swim a kilometre in almost half an hour. Apparently you can teach old dogs and bitches new tricks. Last year I took the final leaap of faith and started dance classes after twentyfive years away from the barre. I can honestly tell you it wasn’t a pretty sight, BUT, somehow my body remembered the discipline from all those years ago. My muscles knew what to do before I even asked them. Way too amazing. I had wasted all those years waiting for the right time, place and fat hiding technology to do something that I loved and enjoyed and never should have given up in the first place. I see so many parents these days buying all the necessary gear and throwing around ridiculous amounts of dosh kitting out the kids, and they look at me like I am a loon when I suggest they get the same for themselves. The thing is that cute little netball skirt is never ever goin to fit me again, but the fun I used to have playing sport and dancing hasn’t left, it’s hiding on the shelf of my closet piled inside a nice comfy pair of tracky dacks and a well worn-in pair of Dunlop Volleys that I used to use for house work.

The girls had a great showing as well with a not unexpected win in the Women’s Champion of Champions which went to

Karmyn Wynyard NZ. Karmyn was also the most successful Women’s Axeperson, and the Most Successful Boys Champ was Carson Jones. The event was of the highest level and both organisers and competitors were happy with the event and the growth that the carnival in enjoying. Overall 35 events were fought and won.

SLSC Country Championships Warilla-Barrack Point continued their strong form in the NSW Surf Premiership to win back the overall pointscore title at the 2008 Stramit NSW Country Surf Life Saving Championships, which concluded Sunday at Tacking Point SLSC on Lighthouse Beach, Port Macquarie. Featuring more than 240 events over three days of competition, the Stramit NSW Country Championships held events for all age groups from Under 8s to 50+yrs, and included almost every surf sports discipline from the Flags to R&R, Ironman and Surf Boats. Conditions were extremely rough over the competition days and a lot of rowers were swamped during the course of events, with one of the women’s races having all it’s competitors rolled on the way out. Local winners over the weekend were Byron Bay’s Kim Chappel, who won ﬁve gold, one silver and five bronze places, while club mates Shannon Hulbert Green won four gold, three silver, and three bronze. Emily Battese bagged four gold, one silver, and three bronze, an excellent effort

for these three athletes. The Brunswick team also had an eventful weekend. The under 19s had a fantastic start to their boat race and were leading all the way out. Unfortunately equipment failure was their undoing and a broken rowlock ended the race for them before they could catch a wave in. Brunswick Heads and Byron Bay came head to head in the Open section of the boat race. The two teams were evenly matched and both caught the same incoming wave in what promised to be a dead heat until the Byron boat slewed and the Bruns boys took the ﬁnish in ﬁrst place. The team Luke Alexander, Baden East, Matthew Went, Greg White and sweep Stewart White were over the moon with their win and were chuffed at defending their title, Byron Bay coming second and Minnie Waters coming third in the event. February 2 hopefully will see the running of the recently cancelled Brunswick Heads Surf Life Saving Club’s 12th annual Masters Tournament. One hundred and thirty competitors from clubs

Small Fry Soli takes on the U16s Twelve-year-old Soli Bailey from Byron Bay, NSW outclassed a hot field of surfers upto four years his senior, during the first round of competition at the Billabong Taj’s Small Fries, in Yallingup, Western Australia, last Friday Competing in the premier U16 division, Bailey posted the highest wave scores of the day, including an excellent 8.50 (out of a possible ten), on a clean right-hand set wave, to defeat the Western Australian surfers Jayden O’Neill, Liam Van Den Ham and Dean Underwood. ‘Sometimes I feel a little intimidated surfing against

the older guys,’ admitted Bailey. ‘I knew the best waves would be the “rights” so when I saw one of the other guys paddling left on a bigger set wave, I went right and it walled up perfectly and luckily I was able to get that good score.’ The local lad, who has a promising surfing career ahead, placed second overall in the under 14s and placed 3rd in the under 16s after losing his semi. Soli is picutred below during his semi ﬁnal contest on Sunday atYalingup,Western Australia, Photo courtesy of Kirstin Scholtz, Surfing Australia.

The ever-lovable planning minister Frank Sartor has attracted the ire of local government (yet again) by suggesting in a radio interview that council building surveyors are ‘old and fat’. Bit of the pot calling the kettle black, hey Frank? We’re sure there are many building surveyors out there who are lovely and svelte. Q Q Q Q There is growing interest in establishing a communitybased Montessori Primary School in our shire. Montessori is holistic education that inspires independence and self-directed learning. If you are interested email school@ byronmontessori.org or call Amber on 6687 0646. Q Q Q Q A young reader writes: ‘On Sunday January 13 my sister and I had our brand new pink Playstation 2, which was still in the box, stolen out of our parents’ car on Bottlebrush Crescent in Byron Hills. We (my sister and I) only had the Playstation for two weeks, it was our Christmas present, and we are really distraught. If you have or know someone that has acquired a new pink Playstation 2 in the box please drop it off at Suffolk Park bottleshop - no questions asked. Please do!’Yeah, do the girls a favour. Q Q Q Q A resident of Brunswick Heads notes our article on the plight of Brunswick youth waiting for their skate park and further elaborates: ‘Perhaps this explains why [young skaters] ﬁnd it so necessary to harass at all hours the residents of Mullumbimbi Street who live above the business premises, including up to 1am with their incessant noise riding along the footpaths. And perhaps also explains why said youth have nothing better to do than to risk their lives jumping across rooftops, over laneway

gaps, and generally making a nuisance of themselves being rude to anybody who cares to point out this is a very dangerous pastime. Maybe until the promised skate park is realised, the police or the council can ﬁnd some community work for these hapless boys to keep them out of trouble, and let the residents get their welldeserved peace at night.’ Q Q Q Q And the aggro keeps coming. Local busker Jock Burns alleges police have been hassling him every night for the last three months. He seeks legal advice on changing the busker permit rules – if interested email him on jockburns@hotmail.com.

Our first stop in the morning, a frequent destination throughout the day, and the last thing we see before we hop into bed, the bathroom may be the smallest room in the house, but it looms large in importance. Bathrooms must fulfill a host of expectation: we demand that they be functional, hygienic and safe, but we also expect them to serve as a place of ritual. A long soak in a bath represents a retreat from the world of work and family responsibiilities. A bathroom must be attractive and serene and this is where tiles can play a strong role in establishing the function and beauty of a room. The Tile Studio has a great range of floor and wall tiles as well as beautiful stone tiles and outdoor/pool tiles. See you in the new spacious showroom!

Grail Quest

Introduction to Grail Quest (an 8-week Course) which is the opening term of the two year part-time foundation course.

...a journey into the Spiritual Science of Rudolf Steiner...

GRAIL QUEST offers a modern form of adult education based on the work of Rudolf Steiner. Through a deepened understanding of the inner workings of the world and ourselves, inner development and soul transformation are brought about. This in turn leads to an enhanced capacity to transform the outer world. The course consists of lectures, discussions and meditation which are expanded through artistic experiences in music, painting, sculpture, story telling, speech, writing, drama, craft and the new art of eurythmy. No previous artistic experience is necessary. The emphasis of the course is away from competition and is focused on individual growth. The course aims to teach through the heart, hand and mind and to bring our efforts to fruition through love of the deed. GRAIL QUEST is also the prerequisite for the Steiner Teacher Training Program.

Some of the themes explored in the course are: The Quest for Meaning. The Elements. The Temperaments. Sacred Geometry. The Origins of the Earth & Humanity. The Evolution of Consciousness. Christology. Mystery Schools & Mystery Centres. The Birth of Modern Consciousness in the Renaissance. The Search for the Holy Grail. Life Phases: an Exploration of Biography. 8 week Introductory Course: $600 Monday & Wednesday 4.30 – 7.30pm plus 2 Saturdays 9.30am – 3.30pm Commencing 11th February Venue: Cape Byron Rudolf Steiner School, McGettigans Lane, Ewingsdale Enquiries: Kristy Brake 0431 833 959 or Gerry Josephson 6684 8280
