Make Oz Day ‘all-inclusive’ Story & photo Lou Beaumont With a good dose of characteristic cynicism and a touch of humour for balance, author John Bailey, former Greens candidate for Ballina and Australia Day speaker, told the audience at the ofďŹ cial ceremony in Mullumbimby that there were a couple of problems with Australia Day. ‘The ďŹ rst problem with Australia Day,’ said Bailey, ‘is that our indigenous population will always feel excluded. To many, it will always be Invasion Day. ‘The second problem is that the day is representative of the settlement of a convict colony in one part of Australia, and thus, too focused on Sydney and exclusive of the rest of the country. ‘My suggestion would be that we become a republic, select a day in the middle of the year and make that Australia Day – an all inclusive day.’

Snags and tatts on the Bruns breakfast menu Celebrations for Australia Day at Brunswick Heads went ahead despite the heavens sending down more rain.

Hundreds or early morning revellers descended on Banner Park for some faux ink and a sizzled sausage at the traditional event at the housie shed, where the Combined Services Clubs cooked up a storm for those ready to brave the weather and the early hour.

The Brunswick Surf Life Saving Club was on hand with several nippers who spent the morning inking everyone within arm’s reach with a fake tattoo of the

Local Citizen of the Year Kevin Ker-David with Mayor Jan Barham.

Mr Bailey’s suggestion appeared to be a popular one as it was met with enthusiastic cheers from the crowd.

This year’s Australia Day Ambassador was Nathan Brown, former rugby league player and now coach of

Brown said, ‘To me, being Australian is just about being happy. If you can be happy in life I think you must be

Favourite fashions for the day included elegant dark blue with a dramatic stars and jacks theme very popular with most of the crowd and a complimentary supply of ags was provided for those whose wardrobe didn’t extend to patriotism.

Punters were treated to entertainment from Coral Grogan and Tracy Devine in the housie shed with much Australiana sung about and everyone joining in for a good old singalong, the jam packed event creating enough volume to block out the sound of falling rain.

Photo & story Lou Beaumont Ballina MP Don Page successfully lobbied NSW Minister for Sports and Recreation, Graham West, pictured right, to ensure a grant was made available to this area.

Page welcomed the announcement that a total of $244,000 will be invested in Bangalow, Ballina and Mullumbimby under the Regional Sports Facilities Program. With a total of $1.5 million being invested statewide under the program, the $244,000 grant into the local area is one of the biggest provided.

The Bangalow Sports A s s o c i at i o n r e c e i ve d $200,000 which will be used to fund an extension of sporting facilities at Bangalow. The remainder of the money went to other worthy recreation and sporting applicants.

Mr Page said, ‘This is a very worthy project and I am extremely pleased that the Bangalow Sports Associa-

tion’s application has been successful.

‘This project will enhance the range, availability and quality of sport and recreational facilities for a wide range of sporting groups including soccer, netball, rugby union, AFL, softball and athletics. The development will also include a cycleway around the perimeter of the sporting fields.

‘The existing playing fields are not able to cope with the current demand for field sports in the Bangalow community and this project will

increase participation in sport and recreation.’

Other recipients were the Ballina Junior Rugby League with $15,000 for an upgrade of electrical lighting supply at Kingsford Smith Park; the Mullumbimby Tennis Association received $14,000 for an upgrade of surfaces of two tennis courts at Mullumbimby Recreational Ground; the Ballina Touch Football Association received $10,000 for an upgrade of lighting at Saunders Oval; and Le-Bar Boardriders Incorporated received $5,000

for the purchase of a trailer for sporting equipment.

Page said, ‘These grants are matched dollar for dollar by the individual sporting groups who have demonstrated their ability to financially contribute to their particular project.’

Minister West told The Echo, ‘This is a great community. It is involved and self-reliant.This grant should go a long way to help with upgrades but a lot more has been invested by the local community itself, both council and community members.’

Byron Shire Mayor Jan Barham thanked Minister West for his visit and the state government’s contribution: ‘Byron Shire council has contributed $450,000 towards this project that is driven by a local group of people. It is wonderful that the state recognises that with their help, Council support and a community like this anything can happen.’

Call to make Australia Day ‘all-inclusive’ From front page

of the honour. For over forty years he has given his time and energy to the mid-Richmond Lions Club, the Brunswick Valley Rescue Squad, the local NRMA and Byron Bay’s New Year’s Eve Festival.

In 1995 Ker-David was presented with the Melvin Jones Fellow Award, the highest honour the Lions Club can bestow on a member. Mayor Barham said Ker-David was consistently caring, willing and generous and someone who never says no to requests of help.

Junior Sports Person of the Year went to twelve year

old Gene Healey of Mullumbimby High School. His achievements in soccer and swimming are worthy of awards themselves but it was his level of achievement in tennis that really stand out.

Healey has been with the Mullumbimby Tennis Club since he was five and competing in the seniors competition since he was ten – yes, seniors, and he is ranked number one in his age group and second seed in the men’s A grade. He only recently competed in the Australian National Hardcourt finals and is no stranger to other national events. He currently trains with the Australian

Institute of Sport Tennis NSW and was congratulated for his passion, manners, skill and dedication.

The Byron Shire’s Community Event of the Year went to the Bangalow Christmas Eve Carnival – a safe, family and community oriented event. The event, entirely funded by the Bangalow community, has always included local performers and with the generosity of the town’s businesses, organisations such as Landcare, Bangalow Primary School and Bangalow Groundforce continue to benefit from the event.

Ballina MP Don Page also

addressed those gathered at the official celebrations.

Thirty-one new citizens were welcomed into Australia at the local ceremony and Page talked about what it meant to be Australian. Most noteworthy was his request that we don’t forget our democratic rights as Australians.

‘We changed our federal government last year, and not one person was killed in the process,’ Mr Page said.

‘We should never take for granted that we can elect new people into power without fear of repercussions for our choices. These privileges can escape us if we don’t put a value on them.’

Friends raise funds for Matt’s family Story & photo Eve Jeffery The beauty and the heartache of living in a small community is that everyone knows everyone, and if you are not connected to a particular person, the chances are you know someone who is. The theory of separation is about half the usual six degrees for the locals in the Byron Shire.

When fortune, celebrity, sadness or hardship arrive in our neighbourhood you can be sure that you either know the person or know someone who does, and as a relatively small group we tend to huddle together in pride or comfort when this happens.

I know several people who know Olympic Gold Medallist Petria Thomas, and I also know through my children and their various clubs and schools, several people who have recently been touched by the untimely death of Matthew Kidson.

Community is a good thing. It is right and proper that we help each other out and be a little gentler and a little more giving, forgiving and tolerant when it is time to pull up the strings of the net that holds us together.

Matthew Kidson had very few degrees of separation, he knew just about everybody and touched hundreds of lives. There are many folk in the shire who are helping each other come to terms with such a tragic loss, but even though there is much sadness there is also much expression of joy, as Matthew’s kith and kin remember what a great lad he was.

Matthew’s own expression of joy was sport. Not many days in the week passed without Matty expending energy in one of the many physical pastimes that he

enjoyed so much.

As a celebration of Matthew’s life and a tribute to someone so missed, some of the clubs and groups he belonged to are joining together and drawing up the strings of their nets for a day of remembrance to be proud of him and comfort each other over his passing.

Organised by Matthew’s football club, the day brings together the Mullum Giants, the Brunswick Heads Cricket Club and the Brunswick SLSC. Held at the Brunswick Heads Bowling Club, the event will start with social bowls and BBQ lunch and continue with rafes and an auction of sporting memorabilia as a fundraiser to assist Matthew’s family at this difďŹ cult time.

Spokesperson for the Giants Scott Hogan says the response to his requests for donations for the day has been amazing. ‘Not one of

the businesses I have been to has said no, and not only that, everyone has been really generous as well. The day itself is going to cost very little because so much has been donated, I can’t stress enough how appreciative the football club is. It means that every single cent can go to Matt’s family to help them with funeral expenses.’

Anyone who cannot make the tribute day but would like to contribute can leave donations at the Brunswick Hot Bread Shop or the Mullumbimby Newsagent.

Telstra is selling off its depot in Station Street, Mullumbimby, next to the site of the proposed Woolworths supermarket. The 1,625 square metre property, zoned 2(a) residential, is to be sold through Colliers International northern NSW industrial property executive Brett Swales.

Currently three buildings occupy the site – a 144sqm single storey office dwelling, a detached garage and a store shed. Mr Swales said that in 1975 Australia Post replaced

the depot built in the 1950s and during the 1990s the property was approved for commercial office use, storage, car washdown and warehousing which, in conjunction with its residential zoning, still stands.

Mr Swale expects ‘varied interest from superannuation funds and car wash operators to consultancy firms such as surveyors, town planners and architects’. The lot will be auctioned onsite at 12pm on Friday February 22.

Bruns park plan spooks residents Some permanent residents of the Brunswick Heads caravan parks have grave concerns about their future following the Department of Lands’s release of a draft foreshore strategic plan.

Colin Woodbry, business manager for the Byron Shire Holiday Parks Reserve Trust, has written to residents advising them of the plan.

One resident told The Echo, ‘The letter has caused considerable stress among residents… especially the proposal to move all permanent residents from Terrace reserve and Massey Greene to the Ferry Reserve Park.

This is social engineering of the worst sort.

‘Forcing disadvantaged, low-income earners, some of who are disabled and on a pension to live together in an enclave has been proven, worldwide, to never work (think Palm Island). That’s an extreme example. I know, but the point is how can the NSW Government/Lands Department expect it to work when the majority of people will be moved there against their will?’

According to Mr Woodbry’s letter, the plan will ‘increase the focus on holiday/tourist provision’ and ‘identify areas to provide additional holiday accommodation to meet future demand, and alternative sites for long term residents’.

At the Terrace park, the aim is to ‘relocate long term resident sites away from Simpsons Creek as a strategy to improve foreshore access and reduce encroachments by residents’ and to ‘phase out long term residency and expand tourist accommodation while minimising the social impacts on residents’.

A similar aim is intended for Massey Greene, while at Ferry Reserve the aim is to ‘investigate the potential to provide additional long term sites to accommodate long term residents from Terrace Reserve and Massey Greene holiday Parks’.

Mr Woodbry assures residents, ‘There are no hidden agendas and it is only a draft…’

as part of its response to the foreshore plan argues that this is ‘a significant change of use from low budget camping to upmarket accommodation provider and DOL has yet to assess the social impacts.

Byron Shire Council and the community have consistently recognised the need for affordable accommodation and supported current legislation which permits 30% permanent sites in crown reserve caravan parks.

‘DOL’s proposal to relocate permanent residents to the far flung Ferry Reserve is simply bad planning. Ferry is the largest park, the highway closure provides new opportunities and it’s ideally situated for tourist development.

‘The Terrace is the smallest and most constrained park, located within the residential area where potential conflict between tourists and local residents is greatest. It’s close to all shops and services, reducing the need for cars. It could easily be transformed into an affordable permanent or long term accommodation park.

‘DOL suggests there is a

demand for upmarket tourist accommodation but totally ignores the many reports detailing the serious housing crisis and the ever growing need for affordable accommodation.

The increasing cost of primitive camping in National Parks made headlines this Summer!

Maintaining affordability and diversity for low income families appears to have slipped off the state government’s agenda!’

Those wishing to support permanent residents or comment on other aspects of the plan can write to The Regional Manager, Department of Lands, PO Box 272, Grafton NSW 2460. The reference number is GF06H541, the contact officer is Richard Dunning on 6640 3403. Submissions close February 22.

The plan is 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.

Exploiting youth through work ‘trials’ Jann Gilbert As an adolescent venturing into the workforce the experience can be both frightening and exhilarating. There’s the whiff of independence, your own money and what you can do with it. But it also means confronting the real world without the comfort of a familiar school or home environment.

It would be nice to think that most kids’ first experience of work is positive but all too often in our community there are stories of under Award or no payment for ‘trial’ shifts, and generally less than Award conditions and treatment.

Sue Read thought that when her young housemate Rachel, 18, got a tryout at a well-known Byron restaurant that it would be great for her.

‘I thought yes, great, they’re a good local family, they’ve got a high profile, they’ll probably pay you Award rates … so she went there and she tried really hard,’ says Sue. Rachel worked for oneand-a-half hours on the first day, however, because it wasn’t particularly busy, they asked her to come back the following day to do a whole shift (of three hours). This would tend to indicate that they liked what they saw of

Rachel’s work. Why ask her back otherwise?

The following day Rachel returned to the restaurant for her next shift. Halfway through that shift Rachel was abruptly told that ‘she was useless’ and to ‘get out’.

Rachel believes that she did her best and, until that moment, the employers didn’t seem to have a problem with her work. (A couple of Rachel’s co-workers on those days can confirm Rachel’s account but don’t wish to speak about it for fear of losing their jobs.)

‘Rachel came home that afternoon and she was pretty shaken up,’ says Sue. ‘Thankfully, she got a call from a local supermarket to come in for a shift the following afternoon and she’s been there ever since. So she is employable.’

Sue encouraged Rachel to collect her pay for the hours worked at the restaurant however Rachel was reluctant, saying that she was ‘quite scared because he yelled at me.’ Sue decided to accompany Rachel to said restaurant but was shocked to learn that the restaurant denied that she had worked there for any hours at all.

‘One of the owners said to her, “I don’t even know who you are”, and Rachel said, “I worked here” to which

the owner replied, “You mean you allegedly worked here.” I was astounded,’ says Sue. ‘It’s only three hours work but twice they said to us, “We don’t pay for trial shifts”.’

At that point Sue referred the employers to the Workplace Relations information she had received, which states quite clearly that there is no such thing as a free or unpaid shift. This however had little or no effect on the employers who have yet to pay Rachel for the hours she worked.

‘She wasn’t asked to sign a tax dec and she wasn’t given a sign-on or sign-off for those two days. All those things break the law for a start but the fact is you should just pay people for the work they’ve done,’ says Sue. ‘It was only 30 bucks!’

Instilling a healthy work ethic in young people is an important part of their journey to responsible adulthood.

It’s a competitive job market almost everywhere but particularly in Byron Shire where unemployment is considerably higher than the national average. This is not the first exploitation-of-young-people story that’s been heard in this town and it probably won’t be the last.

As Rachel says, ‘The corporate world exploits its sta-

tus to take advantage of young people, especially those who find it difficult reaching their own place in the world.’

That’s a pretty sad indictment of the adults who perpetuate this practice, and even sadder to hear the mistrust that the experience has left on one so young.

North Coast employers have a reputation for paying people what they can get away with rather than what they may be worth (‘the North Coast discount’), and that unfortunately has a big impact on job satisfaction and therefore productivity.

There’s also the other delightful practice that came to light researching this story; that of employing a load of young casual staff and getting them to compete for shifts. Not exactly what you’d call setting a good example.

If we want to encourage a healthy attitude towards work in young people then treating them with fairness and respect might be a good start. Wild idea, but hey, it just might work!

Suffolk Park arson attempt concerns police Jann Gilbert In what seems to have become a dangerously regular occurrence, an incendiary device was detonated and subsequently burst into flames on the timber deck of a property in Alcorn Street last week.

Around 9.45pm on Thursday 17 January the resident (who does not wish to be named) noticed the smell of smoke and saw flames flickering on the front deck of his home. When he went to investigate he found the

device in flames and heard the perpetrator(s) crashing through the dunes as they made their escape.

Thankfully the flames had not taken hold on the deck and the resident was able to kick the device onto the gravel below and extinguish the flames.

Unlike the recent letterbox bombs the device was made using PVC piping stuffed with flammable material and a fuse. The resident also found a box of matches with another fuse

inside, obviously dropped by the perpetrator(s) in their haste to leave the scene.

Some months prior to this incident the resident also reported a similar occurrence. In that incident a firecracker or similar was exploded on the deck.

Both the resident and police are concerned at the serious nature of the crime.

As the resident says, ‘It’s attempted arson. If I had been asleep the whole house may have gone up in flames.

My wife happened to be away

at the time and, thankfully, I had decided not to take the trip with her. Worse still, if I was away, my wife would have been here on her own.’

Inspector Greg Jago of Byron Bay Police says, ‘We’re very concerned as to the possible consequences, which may have been very serious. We’d ask anyone with information that may assist police or if they have been the victim of a similar incident to contact Byron Bay Police on 6685 9499 or Crimestoppers.’

Whale groups call for Japan boycott Fed up with the Japanese government insisting it must continue to kill whales, members from whale conservation groups in Australia and around the world are now are calling for consumers to boycott Japanese products and services.

Dean Jefferys, filmmaker, whale activist and founder of Byron Whale Action Group, along with Howie Cooke from Surfers for Cetaceans and other concerned individuals from Byron Bay and Brisbane delivered 786 anti whaling signatures to the Japanese consulate in Brisbane, along with a letter demanding Japan stop killing whales immediately in the Southern Whale Sanctuary.

The group also delivered a message to the head offices of JAL, Sony and Mitsubishi in Brisbane to inform them of the boycott campaign.

Jefferys said, ‘I can’t understand why Japan is prepared to keep killing these majestic defenseless whales despite a tsunami of world public opinion against them. Japan is disgracing itself internationally to satisfy the desires of a corrupt few.

Nurses angered by bed cut plan Furious nurses across the North Coast Area Health Service are demanding answer from AHS management about a plan to start cutting bed and nurse numbers at 14 hospitals across the north coast this week.

The NSW Nurses Association (NSWNA) became aware of the plan late last week, which involves converting six to eight beds in 14 hospitals, including Lismore, Ballina and Mullumbimby Hospitals, into ‘surge’ beds that will not be routinely staffed with nurses.

That equates to a cut of 86

beds across the NCAHS. The plan also involves reducing nurse numbers at each facility by at least one nurse per shift every day.

NSWNA acting general secretary Judith Kiejda said, ‘The North Coast is a region of high population growth and its health services are already under strain. Reducing the number of hospital beds and nurses will increase that pressure and asking community health services to do more, without a massive increase in resources, is hopelessly unrealistic. ‘Nurses and the NSWNA

strongly support developing new models of care, but they have to be developed through consultation with clinical staff. This exercise on the north coast is nothing but cost cutting and service cutting dressed up as new models of care. Our members will hold meetings across the north coast this week. Unless they get satisfactory answers from Chris Crawford [NCHAS CEO] and NCAHS management then stronger action will be considered.’ In related news, nurses at Byron Bay Hospital believe

patient care is being undermined by the amount of paperwork they have to do and they are seeking public support for their campaign to get fulltime clerical assistance in the wards. Nurses are asking members of the public to write to NCAHS CEO Chris Crawford asking him to provide the necessary clerical assistance so nurses can concentrate on patient care. Letters can be addressed to Chris Crawford, North Coast Area Health Service, Locked Bag 11, Lismore DC NSW 2480 or faxed to 6621 7088.

New ďŹ lm helps protect rainforest ‘In wildness is the preservation of the world,’ said author and naturalist Henry David Thoreau. If there is any truth in these words difďŹ cult times lie ahead. It’s been estimated that one hectare of the world’s rainforest is destroyed every two seconds.

Rainforest Rescue is a local organisation based in Mullumbimby whose mission is to protect our rainforests forever. It started out in 1999 with local projects aimed at saving and restoring the ‘Big Scrub’ rainforest, which originally covered much of the land extending from Byron Bay to Lismore.

They’ve since helped save the Daintree rainforest in Far North Queensland by purchasing and protecting nine properties and placing them into a Nature Refuge.

By harnessing community support they are now tackling problems of deforestation in Ecuador, Sri Lanka and Indonesia as part of their ongoing work. ‘Tropical rainforests are home to 50% of the world’s remaining species and also provide essential services including rainfall generation, climate regulation and carbon sequestration. Every person on the planet beneďŹ ts from these services, but none

of us pay for them,’ said Kelvin Davies, the executive ofďŹ cer of Rainforest Rescue. ‘The destruction and burning of the world’s rainforests causes 18 to 25 per cent of climate change. If we lose our rainforests we’ve lost the ďŹ ght against global warming.

We just need to keep the carbon in the trees.’ Rainforest Rescue does not receive government funding and relies on the public to support this invaluable work. Byron Shire residents have an opportunity to make a contribution by coming along to a special

fund-raising screening of the extraordinary new ďŹ lm Into The Wild.

With screenplay and direction by Sean Penn, the ďŹ lm was described as ‘an emotional powerhouse’ by Rolling Stone, and ‘stirring, entertaining and steadfastly thrilling’ in the Wall Street Journal. Freshly graduated from college with a promising future, 22 year old Chris McCandless instead walked out of his privileged life and into the wild in search of adventure. What happened to him on the way transformed this young wanderer into an enduring symbol for countless people. Was Christopher McCandless a naive idealist or a heroic adventurer, a rebellious 1990s Thoreau? In the end, he tested himself by heading alone into the wilds of Alaska, where everything he had seen and learned and felt came to a head in ways he never could have expected.

The screening will be held at Byron Cinemas on Thursday January 31 at 6.30pm.

Normal cinema ticket prices apply.

Jo makes it back to the ocean Story & photo Lou Beaumont A young green sea turtle, nicknamed ‘Jo’ by Australian Seabird Rescue volunteers, was released last Thursday into the waters around Julian Rocks after successful rehabilitation at ASR headquarters.

Found emaciated and near death two months ago on November 18 by Evans Head Kayak Adventures guide and ASR volunteer Sergio Jacomy and his kayak customers, the severely distressed turtle was stranded on the beach just south of the river mouth at Jerusalem Creek. Knowing just what to do, Sergio covered the turtle’s back in a wet towel and placed him in the shade in the kayak. Kayak customers Mike and Brenda Heagney then drove Jo directly to ASR’s Ballina Headquarters.

Brenda Heagney told The Echo, ‘It’s a pretty good feeling to see Jo released. If we weren’t all on kayaks we never would have found him so that feels great.’

Sergio Jacomy said, ‘Many people who find a stranded turtle will think they are doing the right thing by placing them back in the water.

Ironically that usually means certain death if they are sick.

onto their backs and get them directly to ASR hospital then they will have a great chance of survival.’

At only 10-15 years of age, Jo the turtle is only halfway to reproductive age which means it is too early to determine the turtle’s sex.

ASR volunteers determined that Jo was suffering from an intestinal infection causing gas to build up in the body cavity, a debilitating disease that causes a slow and painful death by starvation. Jo had evidentally been floating on the surface of the

water for some time as its shell had sunburn and parasites associated with floating on the water.

During Jo’s rehabilitation ASR developed a new scratching post technique which enables turtles in captivity the opportunity to scratch the top of their shell, natural sea turtle behaviour which assists in removing parasites and helps also with other carapace issues.

The method has since been adopted by Underwater World on the Sunshine Coast. The footage has been

posted on the website YouTube and can be view by visiting www.youtube.com/ watch?v=jTGA4mexJ5g.

Rochelle Ferris, President of Australian Seabird Rescue, said, ‘It can be quite emotional watching them go, after feeding them daily and making sure their water is just right. But today is a very good day.’

Liberals awake to a new dawn Vol 22 #33

January 29, 2008

Protecting children It is self-evident that for a society to be healthy and to have a healthy future, its children must be protected and nourished. Yet throughout the world millions of children are in peril, subject to famine, war, forced labour, forced military service and forced prostitution. While not subjecting children to all of the worst forms of abuse, Australian society, home of the ‘fair go’, still has an unacceptable level of psychological, physical and sexual abuse.

The National Association for Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect (NAPCAN www.napcan.org. au) points in horror to the latest figures on child abuse released by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW). The figures show the eighth consecutive increase in every national indicator of child abuse. There has been a 16% increase in notifications since 05/06, the number of children on care and protection orders has increased by 43% since 2002, and the number of children in out-ofhome care has risen significantly.

Governments have spent a lot of money to establish intervention strategies, so that children can be taken out of dangerous situations. In NSW we have the much-maligned Department of Community Services (DoCS), which serves as a useful scapegoat for the sins of society. It is a bit like the ‘flush and forget’ system of public sewerage. Once the problem is taken away, it is no longer ours. Inevitably though, the shit surfaces and confronts us.

Teresa Scott, President of Australia’s peak child abuse prevention organisation, NAPCAN, argues for a more downhome approach to prevention. ‘…While some children are protected from further harm, the current system is not designed to encourage families who are struggling to care for their children to seek help before they go into crisis,’ says Ms Scott. ‘There must be a greater emphasis on preventing abuse and neglect by assisting families to better care for their children before they reach crisis point. By the time a family is identified as abusing a child it is much harder to make a positive change for the child and family.

‘NAPCAN’s work has shown that prevention strategies can work. NAPCAN is collaborating with a number of individual communities across Australia who are working to ensure all children grow up free from every form of harm. These community action networks bring together professionals, services and the community to improve educational, work, health and other opportunities for children – all consistent with known protective factors for the wellbeing and safety of children and youth.

‘Short term, stop gap measures are not the answer, and removing children from their family home should be the very last resort.’

The Byron Shire Echo (established 1986)

L

ike shy rodents emerging from their burrows after hibernation, like snakes uncoiling from their torpor as they prepare to hunt again, like insects taking a first, timid look at the world through a crack in their chrysalis, the Liberals are awakening to the new reality. And a bleak one it is – so bleak that the former Dear Leader, having been revived by strict regimen of chicken soup and Milo administered by his beloved Hyacinth, is about to leave for America, where they still appreciate him.

Indeed, the Neocons regard John Winston Howard as a figure of historical importance: the most servile and unquestioning of their followers in the Coalition of the Willing, and therefore to be held up as a paragon when they rewrite the history of the times as a moral fable for their grandchildren.

In the meantime they are assembling crowds of likemindless unteachables to listen to his maunderings, for which he will be paid an absurd amount.

Not as much, though, as figures in the fantasies of his former deputy, the Prime Minister Who Never Was. Peter Costello is reported to have been offered a position by the Macquarie Bank, which, given his demonstrable contempt for any postministerial code of ethics, he will probably take. It is not clear what the position is – it may be no more than demonstrating a new range of mattresses in the foyer. But it obviously involves shitloads of money for very little effort, Costello’s long-cherished ideal. At least it will keep him out of the media.

Not so but far otherwise for the former room tem-

perature Foreign Minister, who is now setting himself up as some sort of Elder Statesman of Conservatism, a role so pompous and silly it could have been designed for him. In an article in The Bulletin (which promptly folded, although insiders deny any connection) exLord Downer proclaimed the need to retain the ancient principles laid down in the doctrine of WorkChoices, if not all the detail; feudalism should be kept as an ideal, but the use of the stocks and the dunking stool need not be spelled out in policy.

However, one innovation was desirable: in the words of the loony Lady Margaret Thatcher, the Tories should get passionate about the environment. Rapturous, even –

by Mungo MacCallum totally carried away. However, just what this would mean in practice, neither he nor anyone else could say.

His fellow South Australian reactionary Nick Minchin also has ideas, the most sensible of which is to abandon Howard’s thought-up-inthe-bath creed of Aspirational Nationalism. Bring back states rights and the blame game, he told the oxymoronic (or in some cases just plain moronic) Young Liberals last week. And while we’re at it, amalgamate with the Nationals. After which we will square the circle and invent perpetual motion before getting on to something really difficult.

But these are surely yesterday’s men, the rejected dregs from the Howard years.

Where, I hear you cry, is the fresh, dynamic, new generation of leadership poised to resuscitate the moribund Liberal Party?

Well, Malcolm Turnbull is always available to say the new government needs to pull its socks up, and it is rumoured that Brendan Nelson had a new year’s message, although no-one knows what it was. But apart from that it has been left to the state and territory leaders to make the running.

It is a measure of the fluid nature of Liberal politics that while Nelson has held his position for just two months, there are no less than three Liberal parliamentary lead-

ers with even less time in the job: those in Queensland, Western Australia and the ACT. Not one of the nine has completed two years: Will Hodgman in Tasmania is the most senior, having just passed 22 months. We know the need to keep abreast of rapidly changing times, but this is ridiculous.

Last week, in an effort to put a temporary brake on the revolving door, Victoria’s Ted Baillieu (himself reported to be near termination) called a meeting of his state and territory counterparts. Nelson was not invited, but was said to be supportive. And Western Australia’s Troy Buswell, who had been party leader for

just one working day, felt it wiser to stay home and cement his position.

He was, however, kept in the loop by phone, and was in complete accord with the meeting’s momentous outcome: a decision to ‘form a Council of Australian State and Territory Liberal and Country Liberal Leaders which would meet regularly to discuss and coordinate matters of state and territory importance’.

And if that was not enough to capture the imagination of millions of wavering voters, CASTLCLL (snappy acronym! Think of the logo!) will also ‘work together to end wall-to-wall Labor governments around the country’ and ‘ensure a revival of the fortunes of the Liberal and Country Liberal parties at a state and territory level which will lay the foundations of future national success’. Nelson must be vastly relieved.

It is easy to make fun of such pretensions (and damn good sport, too) but at least they’re doing something; which is better than lying curled in a foetal position in a darkened room crying, the principal occupation of the feds since November 24. The political wheel will turn, eventually; it always does. And it is the soul-searing time in opposition that sorts out those who are fit for government from those who aren’t – just ask John Howard.

This doesn’t make it any less painful, but it does give it a kind of purpose. It is time for the Libs to come back to the real world.

Safety concerns On January 3 my whole life changed when I rescued my 18 month old granddaughter Zoe from drowning in an exposed drain at the rear of my daughter-in-law’s rental property in Arika Way, Ocean Shores. Zoe is still undergoing medical care.

I was very irate at the time because my daughter-in-law informed me there had been a security fence placed in front of this drain and it had been removed by Abigroup only a week prior to Zoe’s accident. Being a licensed builder myself, I cannot believe how negligent Abigroup and the Byron Shire Council have been since then!

The Department of Fair Trading have stated it is up to Byron Council to rectify this lack of attention to detail

by Abigroup. It took up to four and a half days for them to erect another temporary star picket and shadecloth fence which is completely unsuitable. My plea goes out to all councillors, especially those who have children and grandchildren, to please address this neglect of safety

by Abigroup.

Do unto others?

Recently a dear friend’s son was bitten by a brown snake practically next to their front door in Sunrise. He heard voices out the front and discovered two men who had been mowing the lawn next door packing up. He told them he had been bitten and asked if they could drive him to the Byron hospital (a three minute drive).

Their reply: ‘Sorry mate, we’re going the other way.’ continued overleaf

Return to Splendour Q As for when the Splendour DA is coming to Council – we are still waiting for some responses from government agencies, which means that it is unlikely for the February 14 Council meeting. Most likely is February 28, providing we receive the agencies’ reports and that their submissions don’t require additional staff investigations.

In the meantime, perhaps Jessica Ducrou could enlighten us on her ‘carbon neutral’ claims by identifying where or how any of the thousands of tonnes of carbon produced by the Splendour event are removed by Splendour’s alleged carbon neutral schemes. Neutral means that what goes in is balanced by what is taken out. Building a green energy plant won’t add more atmospheric carbon from future power production, but it won’t remove the tonnes already produced by Splendour.

There appears to be no carbon sink in your scheme that removes, or neutralises, Splendour’s carbon pollution. The thousands of tonnes produced by each of your events appear to contribute a large and ongoing net gain on the environment’s greenhouse gas load.

I rang Climate Friendly (‘All documentation is publicly available’) when these carbon neutral allegations ďŹ rst appeared some months ago. They couldn’t identify where any of the carbon was removed. I emailed them, they didn’t reply.

Collecting donations to build a green energy plant, resulting in bits of paper saying you have a carbon credit, doesn’t physically remove your carbon pollution.

Byron Bay Q I guess Splendour’s defence (Echo, January 22) of their accusation that www.festival-watch.org is ‘unsubstantiated, sensationalist, baseless and defamatory’ was their best shot.

You’ll take all sewage to Tweed ‘if required’? You’ve either contracted to do it or you haven’t; tell us. And good on those 5,000 who bought green tickets, but Kyoto is greenwash in the face of already-biting effects of Peak Oil and Climate Change. The days of massive energy expended on travel, entertainment, etc, are over. We’ve been misinformed. We can either willfully resist this for a while longer or voluntarily reclaim the joys of real, localised sustainability now. I hope Byron Shire volunteers to become a ‘Transition Town’ – check it on the web, I’m all for it.

I’m grateful to Prof Waldersee for detailing how Splendour’s ‘economic beneďŹ ts’ to the Shire are based on double and triple dipping.

I recall that Splendour didn’t come to the last packed Ocean Shores meeting because they knew they’d have to face wellresearched criticism. So much for vigorous debate.

I don’t condone abuse that Dan Bode may have received (Letters, December 18); he also showed that he’s on first-name terms with the whole Splendour crew. What’s his role?

hope they remember their role as representatives of the community that elected them.

Yes, they should also consider the merits and demerits of the proposal as presented. But they should represent the weight of public opinion, particularly of those whose lives will be impacted by the development going ahead on that property. And that’s not to mention the lives of the non-voting environment, which this Council has campaigned to preserve in that very area for decades.

None of us opponents are asking Splendour not to happen. Please hold the Festival!

But the DA is about real estate: the annual Festival or the so-called Trial can happen anywhere with good transport access (most patrons are from ‘away’).

Once it had to leave its current site in Byron Bay, the Festival could go anywhere that wanted it. Instead, the proponents bought a plot of land and thus entered the real estate game.

They now ask permission (through the DA process) for the Festival to be held on their new land. It was a speculative purchase, hence the frequent huge ads in the paper. Smart would have been to lodge the DA before buying the land. You know, have a secure outcome rather than a speculative one.

No, Councillors should not have made up their mind before reading the staff report next month.

But, equally, Councillors should not hold themselves deaf to public opinion.

However, we must bear in mind that we Australians were for more than 100 years merrily killing whales around our own coastline and only in recent years saw the error of our ways, or perceived that such activity was immoral and unviable.

Why the Japanese are catching so many whales, in the alleged pursuit of research, seems puzzling, but let’s accept that the Japanese are not altogether stupid (we made that mistake in WW2) and will in due course cease their whaling activities. Certainly it is that the antics of ego-tripping activists will do little to deter them – in fact they may harden the Japanese resolve.

nese governments sensibly regarded the recent performance of two activists as little more than a self-promotion not to be taken too seriously.

They recognised that the two activists were illegally placed aboard by a vessel which then disappeared over the horizon leaving them to their fate; the two were well treated by the Japanese crew (and not tied to a mast in freezing weather); then taken off quite amicably by the ďŹ rst vessel to arrive on the scene. Be assured that, the Japanese whalers were only mildly impressed and will catch their 1000 whales. I personally believe that sooner, rather than later, foreign ministers, diplomats, and jurists will sort out the whaling problem without damage to international relations.

in order to respond to Mungo’s apparent plea for a decent argument as to why we can kill pigs and cows and not whales.

It’s a no-brainer, Mungo.

The pigs and cows we eat had wild ancestors that roamed the plains and forests. Early humans, however, managed to use their own brain to domesticate these animals, resulting in a reliable food supply that enabled the clever human being to go forth and multiply.

Habitat destruction aside, we now eat pigs and cows while leaving their remaining wild relatives alone.

As for kangaroos, the destructive effect sheep and cattle have had on the interior of Australia has in some areas resulted in kangaroo populations well above the natural balance, due primarily to the increased water availability through the many bores that have been drilled

to provide for the cattle. In such cases, culling the animals stops the entire population from crashing when the unsustainable numbers finally exhaust their food supplies.

So if the Japanese whalers wish to domesticate the whale, and can show that natural populations are not only at their original level, but exceeding them to the point of danger for the species, then they could use those old worn arguments to some effect.

Personally however, I have no problem with emotive arguments for the abolishing of hunting whales anyway.

After all, it is only those same arguments that stop us eating each other. Hmmm.

That’s a thought. The population of Japan is rather high for such a small land mass‌ any ideas?

Letters Court, Ocean Shores. From the little street it will probably look OK. However it backs onto a lake which is part of what is ostensibly a National Park. The current view of the lake was on the back page of The Echo dated November 27.

What the developer is proposing is to remove all the trees (many planted as part of the landscaping for the subdivision) on the lake side of the development. They intend to replace them with four isolated trees in what is basically a 50m-60m x 7m wall of buildings right on the edge of the embankment.

This may be acceptable for the wharf area on the Brisbane River or at Sanctuary Cove, but in an area more akin to a wilderness, will look repulsive.

As far as any potential purchases, being this close to the edge also leaves little room for outside entertain-

ing, except to watch flood waters rise directly below your property. Objections close February 6.

Deadly palm

Byron Shire has a proliferation of palms which adds to the tropical feel of the area.

However at least one of these palms could almost be classified as a killer.

Our streets and many public places are adorned by the Date Palm. This palm has very dangerous spines which are lethal. Just ask any doctor or recipient of their poison.

I have just spent four weeks recuperating from a spike which necessitated a two hour operation, three days in hospital, plus numerous doctor consultations and five hospital visits. Needless to say our four date palms will be removed ASAP. I hope our residents, Coun-

Only Terry knows.

As to his musings on ‘representation of constituents’ and the the obvious shortcomings of the Brunswick Heads Convenience there are two points he should ponder: the dunny is the responsibility of all councillors who have made many attempts to address the problem but have been defeated by the usual funding shortfall, and the constituents will make their own judgement in September.

With Terry’s self-proclaimed knowledge of council procedure and capabilities I would expect him to be offering his valuable services.

THE BIGGER PICTURE ABOUT FESTIVALS IN THE BYRON SHIRE. One of the most valuable attributes of the people of Byron Shire is their diverse values and belief systems. These differences provide for a culture of debate, agreement and disagreement across a range of important issues.

Few would argue that music and arts events are culturally integral to the Shire. It is something that has been happening here for a long time.

Most people would agree that festivals make up an important part of this cultural integrity. We believe most people in the Shire would also concede that current event venues are not ideal and that a sustainably planned event site would result in the community enjoying many of the benefits while minimising the impacts.

It is with this in mind that a handful of mainly music industry people have purchased the land at Yelgun. Having searched for many years for the right site we believe this property will overall provide benefits to the community.

The site allows better traffic management, reduction in noise emissions, sustainable waste and recycling options and an integrated and effective approach to environmental restoration and conservation.

We have spent a lot of time and money consulting with the community and not surprisingly there isn’t one unified point of view. We may not be able to keep everyone happy but we do believe that the majority of the Shire will benefit.

That being said we are sufficiently confident that these benefits will flow to the Shire and that is why we have applied for a trial event, before any longer term plans are made for the site. Our hopes are that the proposed trial event will provide accurate performance data that demonstrates these benefits to the wider community.

Some people are talking about an event DA currently before Council for 20 festivals a year.

Some people are also talking about music and arts events having impacts akin to a new housing development, desalination plant or quarry.

The truth is that after discussing the matter with many community members within the Shire, Splendour in the Grass decided to apply to Council for a single trial event.This is specifically to test the capabilities of the Yelgun site to deliver benefits to the community while simultaneously reducing the impacts.

We know there are a host of different opinions about how the property will fare as an event site. That is why holding a trial event is so important.

We believe it make good sense to gather the facts before making any final decision.

What kind of future will Woolies bring with it?

Q What kind of lesson will we teach our children and grandchildren if we allow Woolworths to move into Mullumbimby?

One of a defeated, sad community that doesn’t care. Well I do.

Woolworths promotes a multinational, industrial food market or should I say pharma’s market where profit at all costs is the bottom line.

You don’t have to be an environmentalist to have noticed the devastation to our waterways and oceans after the recent rains. More than 30km of the Richmond River with no oxygen in it and devastation along the beaches and estuaries with tonnes of dead and dying fish, rotting carcasses and toxic brown foam, 100 per cent caused by agricultural practices on the flood plain catchment. Companies like Woolworths sustain and support this madness.

When will we wake up?

It’s a simple lesson.

Locally produced, chemical free food equals community health and sustainability plus more local vibe than you can poke a tomato stake at.

Teach your children well.

Our community is precious

– cherish it. At all costs keep Woolworths out of Mullumbimby – or we will just keep on paying.

Diana Hart

Mullumbimby Q It seems that most of us are anxious to keep Woolies (who invest their profits in gambling, and other undesirable pursuits) out of Mullum, but surely it’s worth keeping in mind that the big problem with the original concept of Mallams expansion/relocation wasn’t that issue per se, but the fact of where they wanted to relocate – our beautiful green grassy residental entrance to the CBD of the town. So, if it’s a fact that Mallams has sold to Woolworth’s and there’s nothing to be done about ownership, at least can we do something about just where the new building is to be located?

The grassy paddocks fronting onto residences in both Station and Prince Streets seems to be just about the most undesirable spot imaginable, and as I wrote in a letter sometime during 2007, the industrial estate on the way out of town would seem to be the very best location for some-

thing rather large and, for many, quite unwanted in our small town. Somebody told me that Mallams desired the Station Street location because the land would be very cheaply bought from the rail authority, but since Woolworths has absolutely no worries with finding the funds to purchase land elsewhere in the region, then perhaps there is some way to at least block them from plonking their huge eyesore in the heart of part of our flood prone residential area.

At least, I most sincerely hope so. There’s also the consideration that if building is to go ahead on that site, perhaps the hope that trains will once again service our community may be diminished. Especially if those lodging a complaint against the frequent passing of trains is someone with as much money and clout as Woolworths.

Bronwyn Sindel

Mullumbimby Q My letter of last week was somewhat biased in that I was passionate about my concerns for the Mullumbimby community being adversely affected by the advent of Woolies. However

it was not my intention just to rabble-rouse the antiWoolies mob (as perhaps suggested by your heading).

What I’d really like to do is create a space – a forum if you like – where people from all sides of the issue, as well as the ‘don’t knows’ can come and safely let off steam, explore their feelings, hear different perspectives. Through a spirit of negotiation, respect and being open to the unknown, we can identify our common ground and allow new ideas to emerge. Maybe this process could even strengthen our sense of community.

Interestingly, the planning report of the DA for Mallams www.planning. nsw.gov.au/asp/2006_ndetermination_other.asp (DA 32-4-2006) shows that submissions supporting Mallams proposed supermarket totalled 1728 (form letters, petitions and other letters) while those who objected numbered 141. That is a big difference… I wonder whether those people who supported the project a) ever saw the DA and the drawings of the proposed building, b) signed by request as a courtesy while exiting Mallams, and c)

would have signed had they known they were paving the way for Woolies.

I would like to hear the facts and the points of view from the main players in this saga – Mr Mallam, Mr Woolies, Mayor Jan Barham and local shopkeepers – the butcher, the baker, the hardware shop, as well as Santos, the fuel outlets, the bottle shop and the chocolate shop, and the small businesses who supply these retailers. I would like to hear from people from Maleny and Kempsey whose towns recently acquired a Woolies. How are the small shops and the people of Ballina affected by the growth of their big shopping malls?

Will Woolies preserve shopping in this town by keeping locals here who normally go afield for their ‘big shop’? What do we know for sure and what are we not certain about? What have people heard and read, and whom do they trust and why? What do we think of the way this DA was handled – is this a ‘done deal’ and is it fair?

How is this situation affecting the physical/emotional health of our community? What do we care

about? What exactly needs to change here? What would it take for people to participate in change? What holds people back? What aspects of this saga interests people most? What do we value about this community?

Since our Civic Centre is still unusable, perhaps we could use the Council Chambers for this debate/ discussion/dialogue?

Deborah Lilly

Mullumbimby Q If I may please reply to the letter from D Lilly (January 22). I remember as a youth saying, ‘bloody Poms coming here ruining Australia’, forgetting of course my own family were late British invaders themselves.

Then later Santos came and it was bloody hippies with their nuts and rice ruining the town. Now it’s Woollies.

Mallams carried half the community on their books and employed the other half for 100 odd years and they are lucky to have anything to sell to Woollies. I say good luck to the Mallam family and thank you all for everything. Enjoy the peace of mind retirement brings.

Taking care of our coastal defence Noelle Tabart On a visit to a beach site adjacent to the surf club at Brunswick Heads, one spring Sunday morning in early October, long term dune care coordinator and bush r e g e n e r at o r Michael Maloney is at work with a group of other volunteers preparing the ground for a new batch of plants to be planted in the Brunswick Heads sand dunes.

Michael is a tall man in his early fifties, solidly built with short-cropped hair. He speaks with an easy fluent style, quietly and confidently and has an open friendly demeanour. He is dressed in working clothes that protect him from the sun and wears strong boots, gloves and a shady hat. He has been a volunteer with dune care at Brunswick Heads since he arrived in the area in 1998

and has led the group for the last four years.

People in the Brunswick Heads community, some of whom volunteer with his group, say that Michael is a quiet achiever and that he ‘never shouts his own praises’.

These residents are agreed that dune care, in this area, would not happen but for him.

The volunteers there today are a mixed group, three men

Multimedia Essentials – a short accredited FUNDED COURSE

and six women coming from a range of walks of life, some working professionals, some in local businesses, and some unemployed.

John and Adrian are sinking poles into the sand to mount plastic barricades to keep wallabies away from new planting. ‘They like the fresh shoots of Tuckeroo and other young plants,’ one of them says.

Already, there is an area of about an acre freshly planted and doing well marked by garden stakes and tree guards. ‘Three hundred mixed coastal and rainforest trees, under-storey plants

comes even the youngest volunteers. ‘A group of thirteen cubs and scouts came on World Tree Day. They are earning their Land Care badge – they need to do at least eight hours of work in a six-month period for the badge,’ he says.

In early October two of the cubs, eight year olds, came back with their scout mother, Kerry. ‘They each have a tree that they themselves planted two to three months ago.

They like to see how they are growing,’ she says.

Seeds are collected and raised in seed-raising boxes by volunteers in their own

Conservation Service for erosion control and has since become one of Australia’s worst weeds,’ says Michael.

A concern for all dune carers is funding. Michael Maloney explains the troubles with funding – we have only got significant funding in this last year. Before that we were doing it on the smell of an oily rag.

‘Last year Brunswick got $6,000 from the federal government’s Envirofund that has enabled us to do a lot – the money has been spent on materials and some training – we have to account for everything with receipts, the

and ground covers were put in at that site on World Tree Day on August 29 – seventy volunteers worked that day,’ Michael says.

But not everyone appreciates the volunteers’ efforts. As they talk among themselves a volunteer says, ‘At New Brighton some residents came down to watch us work. One said, “Don’t put that there – we’ll take it out.” The resident didn’t want any plants impeding his direct access to the beach.’

BettJoy, a volunteer with qualifications in bush regeneration, was philosophical about the negative stories of people doing the wrong thing, stealing plants and taking stakes for their own gardens. ‘It’s all part of the whole. I’m interested in what we are doing – we need to be focused on the positive.’

Coffee and cake are shared during a mid morning break and new plants about to go in are named and their distinct qualities discussed.

‘This is a dune fan flower – good as a frontal dune plant – it tolerates wind and salt,’ Michael says.

Coordinator Michael wel-

back gardens. The cubs are shown by Michael how to pot tiny plants, raised by the group, into larger pot sizes.

As Michael is working, he says, ‘At Brunswick Heads there used to be pockets of littoral rainforest (rainforest by the sea) but if you look at photographs when sand mining was under way the beach looked like the Sahara Desert.

‘The story of damage to our coastal beaches from sand mining started in the late 1870s and continued till the 1970s. Large processing dredges passed up and down the beaches mining for zircon, rutile and other minerals used in manufacturing processes.’

The 1970s saw the end of mining leases after a bitter battle with environmentalists over the sands on Fraser Island in Queensland.

‘Sand miners had a mandatory obligation to governments to replant and stabilise the dunes after mining.

Different plants, including native banksias and casuarinas, were used which was good, but Bitou Bush, a plant native to South Africa, was endorsed by the Soil

funding is not recurrent.

‘There is some justification for the work to be paid – the work is physically demanding – there are lots of jobs out there for people to do.’

Why do people volunteer for this work? Michael thought that in the early days the motivation was an interest in native plants and a sense of contributing to the local community.

‘Now some people have come on board because of concerns about climate change and threats to our coastline – people who join our group realise the importance of planting trees as a carbon sink to take up carbon. Their work is a way of reducing their ecological footprint on the planet – whatever the reasons we would love to have more people come and join us for their own personal rewards.’

Music holds a message outback Jann Gilbert Local musician Steve Berry almost followed in his father’s footsteps and became a scientist.Thankfully, for many kids in remote outback communities, at the eleventh hour he followed his heart and took to life as a musician instead.

Following a successful career touring and playing at festivals in the US and Australia (including winning the Australian National Bluegrass Championship) Steve was offered the opportunity to conduct a music workshop for kids and teachers in a remote indigenous community in the Northern Territory.

The impact of his experience was so profound it led Steve to establish the Music Outback Foundation, which has enabled more kids, schools and communities to participate in the workshops as well as making them a regular part of the curriculum in many remote Indigenous schools.

‘I’ve always felt there was some sort of a connection waiting to happen,’ says Steve.

‘My father was a professor of biochemistry and he went to med school in New Zealand with Fred Hollows, so my family had been friends with Fred and Gabi for years.

‘As a teenager I got to know them a lot better and at that time, in the 70s, Fred was running his Trachoma clinics, sending out teams of doctors to communities to address the problem of Indigenous eye health. There’s an incredible statistic in the first community he looked at, the Gurindji people at Wattie Creek, he looked at 80 people and found enough eye disease that you’d have to look at 800,000 white people to find!

As a teenager that had a really big impact on me.’

Wheel of fate Steve continued his friendship with Fred and Gabi, who often encouraged him to take his music to Indigenous communities but the opportunity just never seemed to materialise.

It wasn’t until 2001, when Steve got a call from a musician friend Tim Rickards in Alice Springs about doing an intensive music workshop in a remote community, that the wheel of fate began to turn.

‘It was at M’Bunghara, a little satellite community near Papunya, northwest of Alice. I took another musician with me, a local drummer Matt Goodwin, who had some previous experience working in Indigenous communities. When I got there my jaw just dropped. It was amazing. The first thing I thought was that we should have a passport to get here because it’s a completely different country. The language

is different, the culture is different, the people are different, everything is different.

And it astounded me, as a general population, how little we know about Indigenous people and culture. We never immerse ourselves in Indigenous culture but we expect Indigenous people to immerse themselves in ours.

And we don’t acknowledge the inherent talent of Indigenous people in extending themselves into our culture,’ says Steve.

After his first workshop experience Steve knew he had to find a way of taking music to more remote communities so he used the occasion of his 40th birthday ‘as a soapbox’ to get other musicians and friends involved in setting up a program.

Initial funding It took another ten months before Steve simply decided to go back into the communities and see what evolved.

He contacted his mate Tim from Alice Springs, who happened to be working for Glen Helen resort, situated on Western Arrente land. As a way of putting something back into the community the resort agreed to fund Steve’s trip to another three remote schools in the area. Ironically enough it was the workshop at Harts Range that led to the growth of the program.

‘The principal at Harts Range was over the moon with what we did there and wanted to tell all the other principals in that jurisdiction, so that put us in contact with a whole cluster of schools in Central Australia who wanted to get involved. Suddenly it was a program and I got the opportunity to shape it and try out other ideas in a more systematic way. Initially there were about 12 schools involved within a 400-kilometre radius around Alice Springs.

‘In the beginning I was out there for around 20 weeks a year in order to

cover all the schools.’

With family commitments and his own creative path to pursue Steve knew that spending that much time in communities simply wasn’t sustainable so he started calling all his muso friends who had expressed interest in the program and began to get them on board.

‘People like Mal Web, Natalie and Carlo (from Blue King Brown) and Greg Sheehan said, “Yeah, we’ll do it too”, and then other people like Aurora Jane approached us who were also really keen. That enabled me to create little circuits within the program so that people could commit to say a week every term and fit it into their professional lives.

Even though it was just one week every term, as far as those particular schools were concerned it was the start of a long-term relationship.’

It’s a long-term relationship that has proven enormously successful. The Music Outback Foundation currently delivers its education programs to schools in up to 25 remote communities. Given that education outcomes and attendance in remote schools are consistently much lower than mainstream standards the goal of the Foundation is to develop the use of music as a means of improving general education outcomes.

Preserving culture Songwriting, in both Indigenous languages and English, is used as a means to support literacy and numeracy programs, and to help preserve local language and culture. Rather than a lesson in dry grammar, kids learn to count syllables as they shape the rhythm through the lines of a song.

The program has also been instrumental in encouraging greater attendance at remote schools and engaging children in education from an early age by using music as an education

resource in general classroom activities. It’s not only the kids who get more involved when Music Outback comes to town, the whole community often turns up to participate.

The program encourages adults who are musically inclined to take part in activities such as songwriting, concerts and the production of recorded material, which builds lasting relationships between the school and the community. Members of the community become musical mentors to children, and this often leads to employment as tutors and instructors within schools.

All of this serves as a powerful tool for diverting indigenous youth, in particular, away from dangerous substances and lifestyle choices, and engaging the whole community.

Education models ‘There’s an opportunity here, perhaps because we are independent, to build whole models of how education programs can be delivered and hopefully, down the track, influence policy in that way,’ says Steve. ‘For the moment our main focus is just to do something that works; for us and for the people in those communities, and continuity is an incredibly important part of that.’

Thankfully someone in the education department has seen the merit in the Music Outback program.

The foundation recently received news that their application for a substantial three-year grant to continue their work was successful, which is sure to create lots of smiles on the faces of Indigenous kids in remote communities.

Cocktail Waters: ‘shaken not stirred’ Mary Gardner One afternoon during this summer season the humidity was so high I couldn’t pick the difference between me sweating and the air dripping. I went to the sea for relief. I snorkeled off Clarkes Beach inspecting the water which was a thick green and murky with white particles that seemed like mucus or decomposing toilet paper. I thought it would clog my air pipe or stick to my skin in a gooey layer. I was surprised it didn’t.

It got me nostalgic about other waters I have known and loved. The Cuyahoga River of Ohio I knew as a child was so full of pollutants it caught fire.

Only two years ago, Hawaii, my first Pacific home, experienced a Year of Rain. It rained heavily for 42 days nonstop. Among other emergencies, this triggered a 48 million gallon sewage spill in the Ala Wai Canal, right through downtown Honolulu and into its famous recreational beaches.

And classic Raglan, my last New Zealand address, the counterpart community to Byron Bay, had its own public health scandal. A technical error by the local council meant the flow from the sewage settling ponds to

the outfall pipe was pumped out on the wrong time of the tide. This created a backwash on the inner harbour’s swimming beaches rather than the usual flow over the acclaimed left hand surf breaks.

Nearer to Byron Bay my home now, the next beaches south in Ballina Shire were recently closed to swimming for reasons of public health.

Unlike the people, the fish there had no choice and went belly up.

Now some people say, ‘I only drink water!’ or ‘I only swim in the sea!’ Wow. What a cocktail! I think of the changes in clarity. The visible additions: bits of plastic and cigarettes as well as dead plants and animals. Blue green algae. Sediments from the entire catchment.The less visible additions: chemicals from farms and industries.

The mix gets more complex. Human toileting: if not straight sewage, then filtered effluents, of different qualities. Most are stubbornly carrying hormones, viruses and antibiotics. The surface grime from all the streets, where the tyre marks, brake lining dust and exhaust emissions settle between rains.

As the rains cleanse the land, they also drain every-

thing into the rivers and seas.

Then there also are the obvious human efforts: all the points where dirtied waters are deliberately poured into waterways and coastlines.

And then the subtle ones: the nebulous zones where the human effect makes a more generalised impact.

The best example of this is a crowded beach with lots of sweating people, coughing and spitting. Many of them piss in the water too, especially the young ones. There is a certain level at which numbers of people and conditions on a beach become as risky as if you are part of a household where someone is sick with gastroenteritis.

The Cuyahoga River burning set off a social movement.

Today this movement is the global upwelling of political agencies and scientific methods dedicated to water quality monitoring. The once forlorn waters of the Cuyahoga have benefited from this monitoring which directs prevention and restoration works. Now, parts of the river are a national park.

The monitoring encompasses various aspects of water: clarity, pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen.

Then there is what water picks up: nitrogen, chloride, phosphorus, industrial

chemicals, faecal coliforms and E coli. These last two are bacteria that in temperate areas are typically associated with sewage.

In Hawaii now, water quality monitoring features ‘brown water advisories’ alerting the public about zones of heavy rainfall which result in storm water and sediment run-off into the sea. Thirty percent of their fabulous beaches are also monitored for risk of illness to swimmers and effects from frequency of use. Not only is the usual test run for faecal coliform/E coli but also one for C perfringens. In the hotter climes, E coli seem to grow in soil naturally so the extra test helps zero in on sewage pollution.

The results are part of beach watch reports on radio, television, the papers and the internet. Apparently the public in Hawaii, residents and visitors alike, would rather know and take precautions than be ignorant. Interestingly enough, the results of some beach monitoring is now public in Ballina. So why isn’t this happening in Byron Shire? Don’t we the residents and our 1.7 million visitors per year have a right to know the exact mix of our own cocktail?

‘I was 2 yrs old, and I went to my first ever live concert and heard a drummer who I thought was a magician and I wanted to be like him and when I went home I broke a couple of twigs off a bush and turned a bucket upside down and went from there – saucepans and buckets were my drum, I got drumsticks at nine and wore them down because I played everything – chairs, tables, concrete... you name it. I joined the school brass band, and got my first drum kit when I was 11. I taught myself by playing along with the top 40 on the radio, and one of the Catholic brothers showed me the basics. I think it got me off to a really good start, because now some of my instruments are still stainless steel bowls and saucepans.’

For Greg, it was his obsession that created his life path.

‘I left school at 15 and by 17 I was professional. I literally stopped on my way to a gig at 17 and thought I am making my living from making drums – even when I was 40 my Dad said when are you going to get a job!

Greg Sheehan

‘By the time I was 18 I was in a band that had a number one hit single for 11 weeks. They were called Blackfeather and the song was Boppin the Blues. If people want to laugh, then go to Youtube and type in boppin the blues blackfeaher and there’s a clip of me with long hair and the whole band miming to the track!’

Greg Sheehan is legendary, particularly amongst fellow musicians. He is and always has been a lot more than a drummer.

Early on Greg deviated from being just a kit and sticks man, and became a percussionist. Right now his first instrument is the humble tamborine.

‘Not a lot of drummers become percussionists, a lot of drummers become very specialised and get into talking about their gear, some of my most favourite drummers in the world are percussionists and they tend to be very creative.’

For Greg it happened because he was travelling.

needing to carry instruments so I would be able to jam with people.

The tamborine has become my first instrument now. It doesn’t really annoy the neighbours, the drum kit is such a hard instrument to practise, with the tamborine I can go for a long walk and use my walking as a metronome. I practise everyday if the kids allow it (he has three children).

Every time I practise, I actually learn something new. I am always searching for more rhythms. It’s really a case of the more you know the more you don’t know thing.

‘I have been developing a system of numbers, so that when you are on stage it’s more the feeling of what you are playing that you go with and the numbers are a great way to do it.’

Ok, so drum roll us a number.

‘Say if you have 8 beats, instead of grouping, there are so many combinations like 3 3 2 etc. They are like little sums that add up to 8, you can put the two at the beginning, there are tens of thousands of combinations. Some people say why use numbers? But numbers are right through what we do. An African musician wouldn’t use numbers, they learn the patterns, but then there are the Indians who have 120 different time signatures and they are very very mathematical. I have taken what the Indians do and given it a Western frame. It really works. I could have 200 people doing a workshop and within an hour I could have four different groups doing four different rhythms.’

disease alert!!!

All my children are immunised. There’s just one disease that I didn’t cover them for, and it’s the one they fear the most.

This disease can strike down any child at any time. It is virulent, non-discriminatory and most prevalent in Western countries.

Healthy children who have never been sick can get it and be rendered senseless in just minutes. It’s highly contagious and incurable. It’s the disease we dare not speak of. It’s boredom. My kids apparently nearly died from it this school holidays. I walked in to my son’s room and found him writhing on the floor clutching his stomach groaning. I panicked. All he could mutter was ‘I’m so bored, I’m so bored, I’m so bored.’ I suddenly felt a pang of mother’s guilt. Apparently 9 in 10 children who suffer from this deadly illness have working mothers who don’t provide interesting activities during the school holidays. I couldn’t believe that my negligence had caused this terrible condition in my beautiful boy. Ten minutes later my daughter was struck down. She screamed, knocked over furniture and was so delirious with boredom she punched her brother and kicked the cat. My usual cure wasn’t working. In fact it was making it worse. ‘Mummy will put on the TV OK? How about a DVD – I’ll let you watch South Park.’ The wailing continued.

They didn’t want to watch TV. In fact I suspect the 5 hours of non-movement in front of the box as being one of the chief instigators of the disease. The screaming wouldn’t stop. This was really bad boredom.

This was the kind of boredom that makes you want to bite people. I know it well, I get it during wedding speeches and Christmas lunches with relatives. Every mother knows the scenario, when a boredom intervention is required. ‘I’m bored’ ‘Read a book’. Read a book? Get f**ked! That’s a very unhelpful thing to say. Uncompassionate mothers say ‘there is no such thing as being bored, only boring people.’ Mothers who say this should be reported to DOCS. It is cruel and comes under the classification ‘child torture’. ‘What about a bike ride?’ NO ‘What about we kick the ball?’ NO ‘What about we get out the Monopoly’ NOOOO ‘What about we put bugs in daddy’s undies!’

There is a pause here. A moment of consideration before the resounding NO!!!

What about we build a city with your Lego?’

NO What about mummy goes shopping and leaves you in the car... they’re crying now. It’s critical. I’m even considering taking them down to Accident and Emergency.

I can’t wait to push my way to the top of the queue by lobbying the triage nurse with ‘quick, let me through, my children are bored.’ I wonder whether third world children get bored. Is boredom a luxury only afforded to us fat white first worlders? Do you have to be indulged to be bored? I can’t imagine two malnourished children eating rice with their fingers, huddled together in their tiny mud hut turning to each other and going ‘I’m bored’.

MUFFIN MAGIC Put UB40, The Wailers, Maxi Priest and Arrested Development together and what do you get? Answer: Raggamuffin, an innovative new event showcasing the best in reggae music, with a healthy dose of funk, dub, hip hop and soul! Known as the long-time home to the Blues and Roots Festival, Red Devil Park is the ideal home for Raggamuffin and this first class lineup of bands!

Promoter Andrew McManus said: ‘I’ve toured UB40 three times through Australia and New Zealand and they never cease to amaze me with just how good they are and how much their fans love them. That’s where the idea of Raggamuffin came from.

Reggae lovers rarely get a chance to see the music they love and that’s really the driving force behind putting this event together. We hope we can do it annually.’

Headlining the very first Raggamuffin will be UB40, arguably the world’s most popular reggae band. Their combined single and album sales are in excess of 70 million, which puts them in that elite category populated by the likes of The Police & Robbie Williams. They’ve had a staggering 51 hit

singles, which is more than ANY other British outfit apart from Status Quo (and, yes, that includes The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, U2 and everyone else); and they’ve had Number 1 smash hits in virtually every chart on the planet. You know how UB40 got their name, it’s the name on the unemployment benefit form. I imagine most musicians would be familiar with that. Imagine the Australian version, I suppose they’d just be called Dole Form. Someone should take it up. It’s an excellent name.

Sunday 17 February Doors open 4pm, music from 5pm. General admission tickets $112.50 from www. ticketmaster.com.au

WORLD MUSIC CAFE World Music Café concert will present a cultural performance featuring musicians, rich in the spirit of cultural diversity and eastern heritage, who now now live locally in Byron Bay! The first World Music Café is a fundraising event and includes a great line up of performers: Paul Serret who plays Santoor travelled to Iran in 1989 and studied his chosen instrument. He then went on to Paris for

further study and now lives in Mullumbimby. He will give a solo performance on Santoor. Also World Music Café is introducing Hari Bhakhti Dey to Byron Bay. He recently moved to NSW after many years of growing up studying singing in Mumbai.

Hariji is renowned in India and will perform bhajans (chanting) in the traditional classical raga style. Peter Davidian has musical training in Darabuka drum and went on to play classical sitar.

He recently scored the music for a movie Donkey in Lahore to be released soon. David Ferdinand will perform with Peter, playing tablas. Saffron Moon is a local band who play a selection of instruments, sitar, dilruba, drums and keyboard playing their own original music. Shivala and Branan will introduce Drupad singing, which they studied in India for 3 years with the Gundesha brothers (who gave a concert last year here in Byron).

There are more surprises in store too. The concert is a fundraising event for the Byron Bay Community Centre which needs to upgrade the ageing theatre sound system. We will be holding regular World Music

Mihirangi returns from the Antarctica for some Australian and New Zealand shows. Solo performer of soulful world roots and loops fusion, Mihirangi returns to Byron after her trip to the Antartica on the Sea Shepherd’s Conservation Society’s ship ‘The Steve Irwin’. Mihirangi made the journey down to the Antarctica as one of the crew members of the Sea Shepherd to try and put an end to the illegal whaling in the Australian Antarctic waters by the Japanese whaling fleet. Whilst down there she was fortunate to film footage for her new clip working with producer Peter Brown whose past efforts include producing clips for Duran Duran and INXS. The shoot involved taking a helicopter to the top of a 150m high iceberg floating in the Antarctic waters.Having been involved in supporting the environment throughout her music career in many capacities this journey gave her first hand experience of the battle being fought over environmental resources in one of the world’s most pristine environments.

Live Mihirangi records and layers vocal bass lines, beatboxing, hand percussion, vocal harmonies, melodies and sings in English and Maori. In addition she plays acoustic guitar, kououa and a contemporary form of traditional Poi. Her songs are filled with Mihirangi’s unique take on political, indigenous, environmental and women’s issues, and her live show is renowned as a celebrated event that is sincere and inspiring. Friday 8 February at the Hotel Great Northern.

Over the last decade, the strength and power of women’s comedy has smashed the myth that ‘girls aren’t funny’, and audiences all over the country have developed a taste for the unique way that women present their material. Women comics rock. The Big Joke Comedy Festival is presenting numerous shows that feature very very wicked women.

Last year, Mandy Nolan, the Festival Director of The Big Joke, was asked to mentor women comics at the Jeez Louise forum at the Melbourne Comedy Festival.

She was so impressed by these funny girls she invited them home! These are the Fiona O’Loughlins, the Judith Lucys and the Rachel Bergers of the next 5 years – come and witness the beginning of something great!

AMELIA JANE HUNTER IS KEITH FLIPP Amelia Jane Hunter presents a very special show: Amelia Jane Hunter is Keith Flipp.

This is standup comedy theatre. Amelia Jane presents the story of her missing twin, the embryo

that went missing inutero and only emerges in a drag queen bar once every three months. It’s sensational, raunchy and one hell of a gender bending roller coaster ride from this Sydney based comedian with exquisite bogan grace who believes comedy is revolutionary and will save the world. She’s a trained actor and was a writer for The Glasshouse.

Witness the wonder that is Keith Flipp at the Bangalow Bowling Club on Sunday 17 February at 5pm.

‘Australian culture is such a contradiction. I think of us as a nation of poofta bashing red neck homosexual chardonnay sippers! Foreign Affairs and Trade should be giving me money to do what I do – the number of times people have come up to me and said (in India) I didn’t think

Australians could understand Asian culture!’

Jonathan can talk. A lot.

It’s like being under a philosophical avalanche that just keeps coming and coming. Everything is involved. He talks about the universe, politics, sex, men, women, and even the nature of the human heart.

For Atherton, the stage is the therapist’s couch, and in an hour of dialogue he unravels.

It’s mystifying to behold.

‘When I am on stage, I bare my soul. We all have that side, I think it makes people really comfortable, that they have a dark side or an angry line, there’s a fine line between rape and seduction, I like that fine line, sometimes it goes all terribly wrong.’

For a lot of comics it’s a rollercoaster. The onstage high followed by a quiet cab ride home.

‘You are on stage and you have 300 people adoring you and then you go back to your hotel room and masturbate alone! It’s very lonely. When you are on tour you have one hour a day where it all makes sense – when you are on stage when that analytical and dark side of our selves is being applauded.’

erson a chance to shine. shine person Lola’s mission is to find the burlesque performer that most suits you. Originating from vaudeville, this artform is as much about taking the piss as it is about seduction, so whether you choose to perform in a chicken suit or a glitter g string, it’s all completely in step with the values of burlesque which are the celebration of the human form, in all its wonder.

Big, small, fat, thin, old, young, male or female, black or white, burlesque is really for everybody. The workshop was booked out before Christmas, but a couple of the girls have chickened out, so we have two places to offer. Workshop is $250 and ends with a late night smoky performance at The Big Joke Festival in Bangalow on Friday 15 February.

Fresh from a hugely successful European tour, cult minimalist jazz trio The Necks (Chris Abrahams piano, Lloyd Swanton bass, Tony Buck drums) return to home soil for an eagerly awaited Australian tour promoting their new album Townsville.

On stage the players assemble.

No one ever knows what’s going to happen until it has. I asked Lloyd if they had any rules or framework to guide their impro.

‘Our system is very simple, the

only rule that we have is that one person starts, and that’s the way we set the agenda – we don’t nominate that person before we go on stage and whatever they come up with is what we work with. In doing that it’s like saying there is no good or bad in music, by the end of the piece, we are in a different place to where we started. It’s all about choices you make along the way. Each time you come to an intersection the music depends on what choice you make, who knows where you might have gone!’

In a sense The Necks are masters of creating destiny through choice.

‘It’s more about our perception of time, where we are the fearless explorers.’

Fans worldwide of this extraordinary band who have been lucky enough to catch them live will know that no two Necks concerts are the same. The Necks step onstage with absolutely nothing pre-

arranged, yet have managed to conjure intoxicating sonic journeys, frequently underpinned by an insistent deep groove, that often last for up to an hour and leave audiences hypnotized and transformed.

‘We are performers, we have to put on a show, its a raw and open show, we don’t hide anything, I could count on one hand the pieces that sucked, but we all managed to extricate them from the bog – it’s all about not being afraid to dive in to what might be a forbidding prospect!’

The Necks don’t cheat.

‘Everything we do is done by a living breathing musician in real time. There are two things about that, it has that reality, and the second thing is that we get to digest what and where we are going to play.’

The Necks play a variety of venues, from huge auditoriums to noisy little squats. Outside of a pub environment, one of the most riveting things to hear are the silences.

‘I am a huge fan of silence in music. I can’t believe people don’t grasp that if you don’t understand silence then you don’t understand sound. Sometimes I will chop the note off. Play it off and cut it short.

The Necks have always strayed from convention.

‘We are not having to worry about a hit single – we tend to do one track per album – it’s a musical immersion for our experienced punters.’

DECKS AND DIABLOS DJ Taya’s (producing as Con-x-ion) sound is deep, at times melodic and definitely psychedelic.

The 19 year old has been writing Psy-Trance for the last four years. He started DJ-ing at the age of thirteen and since has managed to build a solid reputation around the Northern NSW Trance scene performing Splendour in the Grass, Exodus, SuperFreakyKinky, Freakreation to name a few.

Whilst his style has PsyTrance written all over it he seems to be influenced by the Electro sound too which to my delight at Exodus became apparent particularly with the early tracks of his set where Electro and Trance got fused.

What a great combo! Taya’s influences include Broken Toy, Headroom, Commercial Hippies, Neelix, Tetrameth, Shadow FX, Kyle Dillaway.

Taya stood out not only because of his track choices but as a DJ with an open mind and a good mixer that is able to play a dance-floor into a frenzy.

and you must have been around performance for a while. How do you think this benefits you within the industry you are involved in now?

A: ‘Well, I guess growing up in a circus has given me good stage presence. I’ve always loved being a crowd pleaser and if you’ve seen one of my DJ sets then you’d know that I love hyping the dance floor up.’

Q: How do you go about writing your tracks?

A: ‘To start I usually think of what the songs are going to be about, just because most of them don’t have words, doesn’t mean they don’t have a story behind them. Every song I write is a story, i.e. it could start with walking through a rainforest, slowly approaching a massive waterfall and as the music builds up leaping off the edge into who knows what. I try to keep a pretty flexible mind when I make music, leaving it open for any random and quirky ideas to pop up there.’

Q: Why do you think, Trance is so big amongst young people?

Taya has studied electronic music production at the S.A.E. music collage in Byron Bay and is currently working on his first album.

A: ‘Because it is a slightly faster beat than House or Electro music and appeals to a younger more energetic crew.’

www.trikyentertainment. com or www.myspace.com/ conxionakataya

Q: Who has blown you away with a DJ set of late?

Q: What did S.A.E. do for you?

A: ‘S.A.E changed my life completely. It was probably one of the best choices I have ever made. It gave me a way better understanding on how electronic music is produced. I did music at school but after school there was only the Con in Lismore which didn’t provide what I was looking for. The opening of the S.A.E. HQ in Byron Bay was perfect timing.’

Q: I’ve seen you playing Diablos between mixing tracks whilst DJ-ing at Splendour in the Grass a couple of years ago. I know your mum is the instigator behind Spaghetti Circus

A: ‘Ok, now there’s a few I could mention. I have to say everyone at Exodus played like bandits and gave it all they had but the ones that really impressed me were Alg from Electroholics with his new deep progressive style and my all-time favorite Triptych but I think the best set I’ve seen in a while was One Tasty Morsel, man that guy makes killer tunes, if you ever get a chance, go check him out, his music is amazing!’

Q: When and where are you playing next?

A: ‘This weekend at a secret party for a good friend’s birthday, sorry cant say where it is you’ll find out on the day.’

WIN SOME IN LISMORE Friday night’s Underground at the Winsome Hotel has been going from strength to strength. A new sound system and resident DJ’s El Scorcho and Magoo have been keeping underground grooves alive and it’s proving to be a very popular night.

This Friday sees a special guest featured, UK / Ibiza DJ, Andy Newman.

For years Andy Newman ran Restless, a very successful House and Trance night at some of Ibiza’s hottest spots such as Plastic, Hush Bar, Cafe Parades and Eden.

He also spun weekly at the pre-party for Cream on Thursdays, at Bar M and the Paradiso Hotel pool parties.

Andy Newman takes the roof off just about everywhere he plays! The manager of Room 680 has described him as a genuine superstar DJ.

BIG ASTRO NEWS AT THE MOMENT IS PLUTO MOVING INTO CAPRICORN AND HOW THAT AFFECTS YOU. AND EVERYONE ELSE TOO, SO CHECK OUT THEIR SECTION AS WELL… LIKE NUCLEAR FISSION, PLUTO SEEMS TO RELEASE POWER – AND FALLOUT. DEMOTED PLANET? I DON’T THINK SO. ARIES: Pluto squaring Aries brings identity crisis time.

Challenges to your cherished self image: to who you thought you were vs. who you really are – uncomfortable confrontations and power struggles which, if you’re honest, could produce a new and vastly improved you.

GEMINI: On an up-close growth level Pluto’s about ethical challenges and personal responsibility. Can you afford any longer to be involved in ecologically unviable choices or ways of behaving – you, who could be at the forefront of ideas for assisting our endangered planet?

CANCER: Pluto in opposition to Cancer heralds deep personal transformation through radically renegotiating relationships, during which remember Kahlil Gibran’s elegant observation: Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding. Not a time for sentimentality about endings – you can’t do anything new without them.

LEO: As Pluto impacts your house of employment, Leos can expect some evolutionary shape shifting in their career zone. A new chapter in your work story could see you

altering your course in a direction more aligned with your deeper dreams and capabilities.

VIRGO: Retrograde Saturn in Virgo’s already a bit of a boot camp commando, and now with Pluto uprooting your house of playful creativity and the lives of those you love, it’s definitely time for the Ministry of Fun mandate: If it’s not fun, don’t do it. If you have to do it, make it fun.

LIBRA: Pluto unsettling your home and family zone looks set to give Libran equilibrium levels a workout. Glossing over nitty gritty aspects of domestic life won’t be an option and radical changes may be required.

Any personal time out is going to be worth its weight in tranquillizers.

SCORPIO: For Scorpions, Pluto tests your integrity: how you use your undoubted power.

And whether by being able to forgive common human failings you can activate the powerful alchemy that allows startling new possibilities to emerge and extraordinary alliances to be forged.

SAGITTARIUS: Pluto transits shake things up: anywhere from dramatic alterations to a complete restructuring of

Sagittarian reality. But the upside of these profound tests and challenges is a new sense of authenticity and a deeper understanding of what you can contribute to your community.

CAPRICORN: In Capricorn, Pluto smashes that broken record, the blame game, and brings everything on home to where it belongs – with you. Irrevocably rearranging partnerships, career paths, attitudes and outdated ways of operating into a newer, truer, richer, more fortified Capricorn mix…

AQUARIUS: Pluto ploughing its way through la vie Aquarius intensifies the necessity for introspection and self awareness. Tuning out from what’s going on around you and into your own intuitive wisdom won’t always be easy, but during this transformational phase it’s absolutely necessary.

PISCES: Pluto highlighting your personal role in the bigger picture makes it increasingly difficult to avoid your purpose in life: as you know, a procrastinator’s work is never done. Biggest issue right now is do the values and behaviour of whoever you’re involved with support your progress?

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

Vale, Bobby…

Anyone reading the accounts of the life of Bobby Fischer published after his death last week might imagine that Fischer was an eccentric, perhaps even deranged, individual who happened to be able to play a good game of chess.

Yet the facts of Fischer’s life – as opposed to the myriad myths – do not support such a critical view of him.

Fischer’s chess results were incredible enough, but he also fought against many of the malignancies that had led chess to stagnate in the 1950s and 60s: the poor playing con-

ditions, pathetic prize money and, worst of all, the team tactics used by the best players from the Soviet Union to set back their rivals.

Fischer’s famous 1961 Sports Illustrated article ‘How the Russians Have Fixed World Chess’ was viewed as paranoia at the time but later revelations proved that Fischer’s claims were essentially accurate.

His demand for respect by tournament organisers led to a number of walk-outs; for example, when a sponsor asked for Fischer to play in the morning so that she could watch his game and also go to a concert in the evening.

Even Fischer’s complaints during the famous 1972 world title match with Boris Spassky were, from a man of principle, eminently reasonable.

When the promise to film the match silently proved unten-

able, Fischer demanded the removal of the cameras. When the organisers resisted, aware of the financial consequences, Fischer forfeited the second game and played the third in a table-tennis room away from both cameras and audience.

In the years following the 1972 match, Fischer suffered from both bad luck and bad judgement. He became heavily involved with the Worldwide Church of God, a sect which convinced him to part with most of his fortune.

Fischer was mistaken for a bank robber and held behind bars in California, a landlord sold off his stored possessions during his time in Europe in the 1990s and he endured another stint in detention in 2005 when his passport was unilaterally cancelled by the US government – supposedly for playing a rematch against

Spassky in Yugoslavia 13 years earlier. Accepting a fee for playing the match was deemed to be ‘Trading with the Enemy’, although it is more likely that Fischer’s unsympathetic comments after 9/11 were the real catalyst for the decision.

Sanctuary from possible extradition from Japan to the US was provided by Iceland, the venue of his 1972 triumph.

Fischer’s final years with his partner and then wife Miyoko Watai in Reykjavik were the most peaceful of his life, principally because the Icelandic media treated Fischer as a private citizen and left him alone.

Having had more false stories published about him than Britney Spears, Fischer learned to hate the media with a vengeance, so his silent funeral near the Selfoss waterfalls in front of Watai, a handful of friends and no media, would have been just the send-off the greatest and most infamous chessplayer the world has known would have wanted.

Television Guide 1. Charlize Theron does an amazing job in rendering herself physically unattractive for the role of the serial killer in Monster (Prime, Saturday, 10.10pm).

2. Monsters of the extraterrestrial kind feature in the Men In Black sequel, imaginatively entitled Men In Black II, which Channel Ten is showing on Saturday night at 9.20pm, just one of the four old movies padding up the schedule.

3. Also on Channel Ten, Friends – out of production these past four years – is moving from 7pm to 6pm on weekdays to make room for the atrocious ‘reality TV’ series The Biggest Loser. The biggest loser is actually the TV viewer who has grown accustomed to Simpsons repeats at 6pm, an evening ritual that feels like it predates the Flood.

From nine episodes of The Simpsons a week we must acclimatise to just two – Channel Ten is thoughtfully providing a couple of repeats over the weekend somewhere. Since The Simpsons is still being produced, this feels like a bad programming blunder.

27 DRESSES They harvested all the corn in Iowa to cram into this lame romantic comedy. Working for an environmentally hip Manhattan outfit, Jane (Katherine Heigl), for some imponderable reason, is in love with her boss George, played by the mumbling hulk, Edward Burns, with all the animation of a Sequoia redwood. Jane has been bridesmaid at twenty-seven weddings and is getting a bit toey about being the centre of attention at her own. It’s something of a stretch, but we are meant to accept that her hobby is collecting newspaper clippings of Kevin Doyle (James Marsden), a cynical journo who is stuck in the ‘taffeta ghetto,’ writing gushing pieces for the marital pages of a great metropolitan newspaper.

Jane is never going to get

George and is fated to fall for Kevin – Blind Freddy can see it the minute the pair meet accidentally one night but, inexplicably, Jane, unaware that the bloke in the cab with her is the Kevin whose words have swept her away, cannot. The script bludgeons its way through similarly tiresome set-ups, with Marsden, as cute as a button, irritating beyond belief and with a conceited little cleft in his jaw that you long to see driven into a cow pat. Enter Jane’s bad sister Tess (Malin Akerman), who bowls over George. The girls have a relationship not unlike (actually, it’s identical to) the siblings’ from In Her Shoes – Akerman even looks like Cameron Diaz, in an unattractive sort of way. And that is not the only other film referred to in what is never more than a formulaic, whiffy

pot pourri of the old boy meets girl story. There was one decent gag, somewhere around the sixty-third minute, but what is unforgivably hopeless about the movie is its bleedin’ obviousness. Only candidates for drongo of the year will not anticipate its outcome long before the hapless Jane wises up. Then again, maybe that is the way it’s meant to be, with the very title suggesting that the ‘name it and they will come’ approach has been adopted in the marketing strategy. Heigl, whose charm lifted Knocked Up out of the mire, does her level best with a pathetic character and almost manages to keep things afloat, but, in truth, this is the sort of crock that gives chick flicks a bad name.

The brief flashback to the goth wedding was good. ~ John Campbell

CHARLIE WILSON’S WAR Hollywood often delivers intelligent, spiky but at the same time humorous appraisals of recent history and the way it impacts on us today. This is one such exercise, and it’s terrific, which is not surprising with Mike Nichols in charge (Catch 22, Primary Colours).

It is based on the real life activities of irascible Texan Congressman Charlie Wilson, a good ol’ boy with a penchant for whisky, feathering his nest and staffing his office with beautiful young women.

A wheeler dealer, Charlie

is unencumbered by any overriding scruples until, in 1980, he is made aware of the plight of Afghanis after the Russian invasion.

At the behest of Joanne Herring, a wealthy backer and lover to whom he dare not say no, he travels to that perpetual basket case of a nation and is confronted by the horror of a refugee camp. This is a Road to Damascus experience for Charlie and, henceforth, he devotes himself to procuring government money to arm the Mujahideen in their war with the Soviets. Assisting him is CIA agent Gus Avrokotos, an abrasive, chain smoking operative who knows every devious short cut in the diplomatic book. Initially you are lulled into thinking that this is going to be a scathing but jolly exposé of the corrupt ways of a blasé bureaucrat, a là Tom Wolfe perhaps, but it turns radically. The cruelty of the Russian occupation was beyond justification and the US’s covert activities in opposing and ultimately ending it might be objected to only by the most devout America haters. The movie, a study in ‘realpolitik’, is therefore unashamedly pro America, despite its greasy machinations, but unambiguous in its criticism of Washington’s lack of foresight and profound inability to comprehend the key role that religion plays in Byron Bay Cookie Company presents

the geopolitical drama.

Julia Roberts’s Herring, a widowed southern belle, is as blinkered in her Christian zealotry as the Mujahideen are in Islam. On one of his flights, Charlie tells an aide of how he became involved in politics after his dog was mistreated by a neighbour. It’s an elegant remembrance, simplistic and touching, and quintessentially American

in its self-perpetuating idealism. Roberts and Tom Hanks as Charlie are a treat, while a rambunctious Philip Seymour Hoffman gets to close the show with the tale of the Buddhist and the boy with the horse, within which is a lesson for those pious letter writers who would divide the world into goodies and baddies. ~ John Campbell

I have had, over the years, the abiding fantasy of running a country guest house somewhere remote and beautiful, attaching to it a restaurant serving simple rustic meals, paying loving attention to all the details which add up to ensuring my guests feel utterly cosseted; very occasionally I actually ďŹ nd the realisation of this fantasy, as I did recently at Mavisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Verandah.

Mavisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Verandahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s verandahs wrap around the stately white Queenslander near Uki that owners Peter and Charlie relocated from the Gold Coast and which, some six months ago, they ďŹ&#x201A;ung open as a restaurant to the public. There is wrought-iron lacing and mosaic windows and staircases which bring you up to the top level where tables are arranged outside, beyond the fulcrum of the main room and kitchen.

Because we have driven the forty ďŹ ve minutes it takes from Byron Bay to reach it we have opted to stay in one of the two lodgings available on the property â&#x20AC;&#x201C; our log cabin has already seduced us with the little touches such as Belgian chocolates and wildďŹ&#x201A;owers on the end of the bed, its fully equipped kitchen and fridge ďŹ lled with breakfast ingredients, a selfcomposting toilet and Lâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Occitane products in the smart bathroom. Not to mention its own wooden verandah from whence we have gazed out over the verdant lushness of ďŹ elds, the pond and the palms, the rockery and the rearing mountains.

Let Them Eat Cake

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a straightforward arrangement once you have been seated at your table. A blackboard menu lists entrees, mains and desserts, from which you make your selection then place your order. Cutlery and paper napkins you collect yourself and bear back to your table, then relax and be waited on. Peter and Charlie ran the building as a ďŹ ne-diner in Labrador and when they shifted the operation to the base of Mount Warning they wanted to be simple, more low-key and casual, reliant largely on their organic garden whose produce would inform a homely, less reďŹ ned style of menu. The centrepiece of the main room is quite spectacular: a long wooden table whose surface disappears beneath the bowls, baskets and vases profuse with the gardenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bounty. There are lemons and eggplant, garlic and shallots and onions, pumpkins in all shapes and sizes, bunches of basil and rosemary and macadamia nuts and jars of conserves and olives â&#x20AC;&#x201C; there is even a homely tin of shortbread wedges. Tea-light candles ďŹ&#x201A;icker on the tables, most of which, the night we are there, are full of chattering groups.

I eat Atlantic salmon and prawn pie in a creamy sauce which comes with a big square lid of golden puff pastry; my partnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roast pork with sticky pumpkin and apple is tender and sweet and the crackling perfect. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a side dish of baby potatoes and a mixed salad which positively sings with squeaky freshness. This is the ďŹ rst rain-less night we have had in weeks and we sit out in the fragrant night bathed in its softness, the cleanness of the cricket-clicking frog-gurgling mountain air, sharing raspberry and walnut torte moist and dense and spicy with cinnamon.

Next morning the Sunday newspaper has mysteriously materialised in time for the enormous breakfast we eat out on our verandah: eggs and bacon and toast, croissants and jam and fresh fruit salad and good coffee.

The only thing to do after all that surfeit of luxury â&#x20AC;&#x201C; despite a temptation to never actually leave â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is to drive the little distance to the foot of Mount Warning, and do the climb.

A NEW LOCAL BEER The Northern Rivers Brewing Company has released a new beer, available at this stage only on tap, called Cloudy Wheat Beer.

Described as a German-style fruity Hefeweizen, it was well received at the Brisbane Good Food and Wine Show recently. So far it can only be tasted at Earthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Sea and cafe one one one in Byron Bay. In addition, they are releasing more of their beer styles in handy 10-litre mini kegs â&#x20AC;&#x201C; ideal for any kind of gathering as they are so simple to use and easy to carry, without any need for hoses or gas bottles.

Sports Roundup with Eve Jeffery

Spectatorism: savouring the smell and taste of the view Eve Jeffery When I was a kid in Victoria, (the land of real foody), the St Kilda club had their home ground in Moorabbin, just a stone’s throw from my house. Actually it was a bit more than a stone’s throw, more like an hour or more hike, but when I was 14 that was too easy. An hour each way meant time to gossip with my besty Michelle about only important subject known to teenager-hood: Boys.

On both sunny autumn and icy winter days, a bunch of us would walk from my place in Cheltenham to the oval, and even though I wasn’t a Saints supporter (Go Pies!), it was the fun of being at the game and not necessarily the outcome of the match that was important.

This was back in the days when the only sport on the telly was Wimbledon and a a bit of a foody or cricketroundup at the end of the news. I couldn’t believe my luck when I saw my first Grand Final, front row seats and I didn’t have to pay a cent for a ticket, all thanks to the wonders of modern technology. But, there was definitley something missing.

The thing about actually being at the foody was the atmosphere of the paddock.

Too many people all

At close quarters – Sideline view of the 2007 Byron Rugby 7s tournament, a fast and furious feast of sport for any avid spectator. Photo Tree Faerie

squashed together to get the best view, the smell of the mud and the grass, the liniment if you happened to get a spot on the boundary line, the greasy junk food, spilled VB, instant coffee and some soup if you sat near someone who had brought a thermos from home.

The sounds around the game were part of the rush: the cheering, the booing, the vilification of referees, ‘the umps a poof’, (not that there’s anything wrong with

that), and the hype and hooplah all went in to making the experience of being a spectator a well rounded pastime. Being a spectator was more about participating than just watching.

These days we are more square than your average flower child would have ever imagined. We spend a huge percentage of our lives looking at square screens.

The telly, computers, mobile phones, iPods, Nintedo, Sega, X-box and

the microwave.

Pay for view TV has whole channels dedicated to sport viewer-ism. There is actually no need to ever leave your house again to watch any sport that you could possibly imagine.

I admit that not everyone is going to get the chance to go to the Olympics, and especially as I now won’t be competing in the over 40s triple jump, I know I certainly won’t be travelling to Beijing.

Events like Wimbledon and the World Series soccer are the realm of elite spectatorism and the reality is that there are unfortunately only a small percentage of humans who can afford the gate fee.

Putting aside gold passed and sponsor boxed sport spectatorship, there is a plethora of activities going almost every day, and certainly every weekend day in this sports mad country for the viewer to not have to travel too far to get in on some live action, and often you can find yourself watching top grade stuff.

Most weekends you’ll find some form of rugby being played in the Byron Shire, the Giants even have night games for the vampires and owls. We have soccer, tennis, cricket, surfing, netball, even pool and darts for those who like their view with an accompanying tap of flowing ale.

Many of these activities are available for a nominal gate charge and some are absolutely free.

And at the end of the day, sportshumans are like actors, they perform well with an audience and a rev up from the crowd is likely to produce a little drama as well as that touch of extra adrenalin that adds the special edge to a game.

Where would John McEnroe be without a bunch of

people cheering and booing him on. I can’t imagine his confrontational on court behavior or the birth of his catchphrase ‘You cannot be serious!’ ever coming to pass if there hadn’e been a bunch of folk watching from the sidelines. John was able at the flick of his wrist and a twitch of his tongue to turn a lynch mob into a crowd of purring, cheering fans, and he played off that.

If the entire audience had of been at home watching from their Jason recliners, how would he have ever know when to switch on the honey? He made an artform of spectator manipulation but he needed folk at the courts to do it.

The whole idea of sport is to be active. Even the Romans lounged around the Colliseum on a Sat’dee arvo, jiggling a thumbs up or thumbs down.

You don’t have to play sport to be a part of it, have a good time and get some air in your lungs in the process.

There’s no rule that says you have to compete in a sport to participate, but watching from home means you get to miss out on half the experince.

So, get yer butt into gear, check out the sports pages and find out who is playing at your local oval, court, pitch or beach, and have way too much fun!

Sports Roundup with Eve Jeffery Australia Day honours for Gene

Ex-NRL player and current coach of St George’s Illawarra Dragons, Nathan Brown, presented Gene Healey with his aware at the official Australia Day Ceremony in Mullumbimby last Saturday.

Healey was recognised for his achievements in tennis particularly but is also a keen player of soccer, a

swimmer and is a winner in track and field too.

The twelve year old from Mullumbimby High School has been with the Mullumbimby Tennis Club since he was five and competing in the seniors competition since he was ten.

Healey is ranked number one in his age group and second seed in the

Talking over the tennis atmosphere Michael McDonald The fascination of TV commentators with their own brilliance almost overwhelmed enjoyment of the [insert sponsor’s name here] Australian Tennis Open last week.

It is a problem unique to television. At least with newspaper commentary you can throw the paper down and not be bothered.

But if you want some of the atmosphere of the crowd, the whack of the ball, the grunt/squeal of the players while watching TV, then you need the sound on.

A friend of mine got round the dilemma by leaving the TV on mute while listening to the radio description.

The commentators get paid to talk but many fail to realise that less is more.

The problem was compounded last week by Channel 7 running selfpromotion between games, so there was no opportunity to blab while the players towelled down/swallowed sports drinks.

Former world number one Trac y Austin was enlightening and sparing with her words, Jim Courier was OK in patches, while Roger Rasheed positively ran off at the mouth.

The commentators also fail to realise that your average Saturday arvo hit-and-giggler can

figure out what’s going on on the court.

You soon see how each player works to exploit the other’s weakness and capitalise on his/her own strength, and where their games might be off on any particular occasion.

You look on in envy at near-perfect lobs, drop shots, passing s h o t s a n d d e va s t at i n g ser ves, but it’s highly bloody unlikely you’re going to get confused about what’s going on.

That aside, you’d be hard-pressed to find a more exciting grand slam event than last week’s humdinger. From round one on, women and men p r ov i d e d d r a m a a n d thr ills of the highest order right through to the finals.

The ever-reliable Federer was less than ever-reliable at the semi-finals hurdle and it gave the opportunity for two exciting youngsters, Tsonga and Djokovic, to battle it out for the over-ornate trophy.

Fabulous stuff .

The only problem now is what to do with the evenings until the next g rand slam title rolls around. I know I won’t be listening to Rasheed explain how Tsonga should play his game if h e wa s r e a l l y, r e a l l y good at it.

men’s A grade. He just competed in the Australian National Hardcourt finals and has competed in other national events.

He trains with the Australian Institute of Sport Tennis NSW and was congratulated on Australia Day

by Mayor Jan Barham for his passion, manners, skill and dedication.

Acclimatisation: can it help beat the heat?

Does acclimatisation make a difference to an athlete’s performance in hot weather?

Can it help prevent heat illness? How much is enough – or optimal?

Each summer, overseas athletes travel to Australia to take part in international tennis, cricket, cycling and other events.

These events provide differing examples of players’ capacity to cope with extreme heat. Are those who cope better with the Australian heat simply better acclimatised?

Writing in the latest (February 2008) edition of the Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport (JSAMS), a team of Monash University researchers led by Mr Cameron Gosling detail more evidence for the importance of acclimatisation.

The Monash team used injury data from two triathlons held as part of the 2006/2007 triathlon series.

Weather conditions were virtually identical for both.

At the first, held in December, there were 15 heat-related injuries; the second,

held in February, had no heat injury presentations.

Cameron Gosling puts this difference down mainly to the fact that by February, the athletes were better acclimatised to the hot weather.

‘This evidence suggests that the risk of heat injury is greatest earlier in the season when athletes may be inadequately prepared and have not yet acquired natural acclimatisation to heat,’ Mr Gosling said.

‘Another telling piece of evidence was that the first race day was markedly hotter than the preceding 10 days, making it even harder for the participants to have been acclimatised.

‘For the second race, event organisers followed Sports Medicine Australia recom-

Lennox junior runner up in Burleigh Pro

mendations for exercising in hotter conditions and made a number of changes including an earlier start, reducing the race length, increasing drink station numbers and providing increased education to participants about heat illness.

‘Event planners must be prepared to provide medical assistance for post-exercise collapse, which could include heat stroke, regardless of the environmental conditions,’ Mr Gosling said.

Sports Medicine Australia recommends at least 5 days of training in hot or humid conditions, progressing from moderate intensity and duration as acclimatisation develops.

However, event organisers, especially for events requiring sustained exertion from participants – such as triathlon – need to be aware heat illness can occur even in cool conditions and with well-hydrated participants.

Pro Junior Series leader Stuart Kennedy on the Gold Coast. Photo Jake White – Surfing Queensland

On the weekend Tahitian born Tamaroa McComb (Coolangatta) made the perfect start to the Queensland leg of the ASP Australasian Pro Junior Series, taking out the coveted Hurley Burleigh Pro Junior crown in 1-1.5-metre surf on the Gold Coast.

Sixteen year old McComb lived up to his reputation as surfing’s next big thing, blasting past no.2 seed Julian Wilson (Coolum) in the day’s quarter-finals, NSW whiz kid Heath Joske (Nambucca Heads) in the semis

before dispatching top seed Stuart Kennedy (Lennox Head) in the championship final.

Showing no signs of nerves in the highly anticipated final, McComb raised the bar, bouncing back from a slow start to bag a 7.83 and an 8.93 to finish with a two-wave combination of a 16.76 (out of a possible 20) to Kennedy’s 15.70.

Stuart Kennedy, pictured, won the opening pro junior of the year in Victoria, and strengthened his series ratings lead with

his runner-up finish. He sits on top with 8338 points, nearly 2000 points clear of Nick Riley in second with McComb (6219) in third.

‘I had a bit of a shocker out there today. I fell on a few waves and couldn’t capatalise on the sets, said Kennedy, ‘I’ve got a first, a second and a fifth from the opening three events. I couldn’t have asked for a better start to the year.’

Finishing equal third in the event was Nambucca Head’s Heath Joske and Sawtell’s Billy Kean.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIMON from your Echo Family

A brief return to the Shire Horatio Bitemark I returned to â&#x20AC;&#x201C; ahem â&#x20AC;&#x201C; peaceful Byron Shire after an expedition in the jungles of Borneo to protect the Lesser Moustached Hornbill turned into a de facto rescue of Johnny Weismullerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grand-nephew Ted, who had a strange ďŹ xation with vine-swinging.

Like H G Wellsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sleeper awaking, I found the Shire much transformed in my absence. Rather than a whiter shade of pale in ascendance, there was a paler shade of beige: its art imitated life and the life imitated a double page spread of an interior design magazine, possibly Coffee Tables of the Idle Rich. Only in the remaining rainforest of the hinterland hills could one sense living organisms, the fragrance of wet earth, and leeches which fed upon humans in a non-commercial sense.

Upon my return to the Myocum clubhouse I was

met with the customary sangfroid by Sanders the butler, though I perceived a jauntiness in one of his eyebrows which offered a smidgen of a hint that he may have been glad to see me. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Welcome back, Sir,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said the gentlemanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gentleman, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Your rosewater hipbath has been drawn.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Abbotsleighâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greeting was far more effusive, though I sought to avoid his embrace which would have transferred some of his breakfast egg from his shirt to mine. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I say, old chap,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; gushed Abbotsleigh, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a sight for sore eyes! The place has gone to the hounds since youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been away. A chap feels one needs old Doctor Frankenstein to put a bolt of life through it!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Which is precisely what we did, once we had bolstered our spirits with Chefâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best dish of Attenuated Cassowary in a Frisson of Creme Anglais and Pine Nuts, harried by Fractious New Pota-

reality. SufďŹ ce it to say that several of the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s staunch burghers came to recognise a love whose name they did not even know, let alone dare to speak, and the spirit of Pan drove out the fetish of commerce for a while with a number 2 Spear & Jackson Eight-Strap Naugahyde Flogger. Abbotsleigh momentarily came to harm when he sought with a skank of schoolies to down a record number of Red-Bull-andTequila slammers, but Bizzy Lizzy clutched him to her bosom in the nick of time, a rescue which all of us could but envy.

The following morning I relaxed on the clubhouse in the appropriate state of deshabille, a black coffee fortifying my senses. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;What was it, Sanders, that chap Browning said about whatsisname being in his heaven and all hunky dory with the world?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Sir might be referring to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;owls and bats, cowls and twats/ Monks and nuns, in a cloisterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s moodsâ&#x20AC;? adjourning to to the oakstump pantry.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I detected irony, or at least a little ribaldry, and my return to the Shire was complete.

The chaps toasted my return with the Mega Festival Multi Decibel Shiraz, a full-bodied drop speaking to us of verdant wildlife corridor, elderberries, disturbed potaroo and prone reveller. The session which followed in the oxymescalin chamber had us raring to go, apart from Dewclaw, who sprained his wrist while snifďŹ ng a golf ball.

My ďŹ rst act was to call up Bizzy Lizzy, the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dominatrix-on-call, and have her assemble her crack troupe of burlesque dancers, clad only in their best black leather g-strings and black feather fans. Tosser Digby cleared a path to the ďŹ&#x201A;eet of Bugattis through the horde of feral lapdogs mislaid by society hostesses with the Colt 45 bequeathed to him by Wyatt Earpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grandsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s French mistress, and we were off.

When it comes down to the wire, however, it’s about people’s shopping habits. And options: if you’re strapped for cash, you might feel the megamart is all you can afford. Of course a change in lifestyle from white bread and Coke to growing your own carrots can make all the difference. All of us may be reduced to growing our own carrots when the oil runs out: those electric B-doubles will take a lot of charging up.

The wild weather has played havoc with the Crested Tern population which nests at Julian Rocks. The high seas have washed a number of the Terns onto Belongil Beach, both young and old alike. Many of them can be saved but please, don’t try this at home! If you find a Tern put it into a well ventilated box with towels as cushion and cover and call Australian Seabird Rescue on 6686 2852 or WIRES on 6628 1898 (24 hours).

Q Q Q Q Indomitable reader Peg Balfour recalls a news item from the ABC’s Lateline of October 3, 2003: ‘Patagonian toothfish poachers caught.’

Snippets from the site: ‘The outmanoeuvred Viarsa was eventually boarded and escorted under navy security back to Fremantle’. ‘Senator Ian Macdonald, Fisheries Minister: “It really does send a message right around the world that Australia will chase these pirates, will chase these plunderers of our oceans to the end of the earth if needs be.”’ Says Peggy: ‘I wonder if the Senator would care to repeat that to the Japanese.’

Q Q Q Q The Department of Lands draft strategic foreshore plan for Brunswick Heads was bound to get people nervous, especially long term park residents. And if their standard of consultation is as good as the RTA’s, be very afraid.

...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
