not Council wins hearts and minds at auction (and a chunk of land) Reprieve result on Splendour DA

Indeed we can’t know what effect the protesters’ mass presence had on the eagerness of the other interested parties bidding on site and via mobile phone. Settlement is set for August 2008, a considerable time period during which Council will be considering all options for the site. Mayor Barham said, ‘Council will now consider the future use of the site, with a range of options under consideration. The community has suggested a farmers market and Council is looking for a site for affordable housing. ‘The land is zoned residential but previously had a semi-industrial use. The location, size and history of the site make it suitable for a wide range of uses.’

Jann Gilbert Splendour in the Grass organisers announced last week that they would be lodging an amended devlopment application (DA) to hold a trial event in 2009 rather than pursue proposals for an event at the North Byron Shire Parklands site this year. The organisers cited ‘logistical considerations’ as the reason for submitting the amended DA, which will take several months to complete before it goes to Council. The primary issue in contention with the 2008 trial event DA is said to be plans for a tunnel running under Jones Road to allow festival goers access to both sides of the site. Byron Shire Council Director of Planning Ray Darney said last week he considered the tunnel an expensive piece of infrastructure for a trial event that may never get ongoing approval. There were also a number of other government referral processes for the DA that would not meet reporting deadlines to allow for approval of a trial event this year. The announcement offers a reprieve rather than a result for the 25 or so lobby groups who oppose the development at Yelgun by North Byron Shire Parklands. However it was still cause for quiet celebrations for the Chair of the Byron Ratepayers Association, John Bailey. ‘It’s great news,’ said Mr Bailey. ‘It’s not the war but it’s certainly one of the battles.’ Opposition to the development is gaining momentum with a petition signed by over 70 businesses asking Council to reject the Splendour DA presented to Byron Shire Mayor Jan Barham last week, and other opposition groups committed to continuing the ﬁght. Splendour in the Grass organisers are expected to submit a DA to hold the 2008 festival at Belongil Fields, its location for the past seven years.

Auctioneer Colin Banks holds aloft Council general manager Pamela Westing’s hand after the succesful bid on the Mullumbimby site.

Story & photo Lou Beaumont Byron Shire Council drew cheers from the crowd when it bought the former Telstra depot site in Mullumbimby at an emotionally charged auction last Friday. It was a rapid response to an appeal issued by the Mullumbimby community. The site, next to the proposed Woolworths shopping centre location on Station Street, was bought by Council for $461,000 – the winning bid placed by the surprisingly calm Council general manager Pamela Westing. Ms Westing said of the auction, ‘I never thought I’d have so much fun at work!’ The Mullumbimby Community Action Group (MCAG) and other concerned Mullumbimby residents with placards were present at the auction and were making

themselves seen and heard, so the outcome was a welcome surprise. Mullumbimby residents, and speciﬁcally members of the MCAG, asked Council to purchase the land for the community just over a week prior to the auction. Council resolved to bid for the property the day prior to auction. Shortly after the auction Byron Shire Mayor Jan Barham told The Echo, ‘It just goes to show that local government is able to be responsive to the needs of the community. ‘We considered an urgency motion at our meeting on February 14 and we acted. We didn’t want to think in future about an opportunity missed.We are thrilled we could secure an important community asset that has such great potential.

‘Lots of opportunity comes with this land purchase, it has a number of potential uses. Council is not a major landholder, so any acquisition of this kind will be put to good use. There is a need for good land whether it is used for community infrastructure of some kind or affordable housing or whatever. It is a safe investment.’ Deborah Lilly, coordinator for the MCAG, said that she was ‘absolutely delighted. This really demonstrates the power of community. ‘I would like to encourage everyone to speak up for what they want – look what happens when we use our voices. The action group is a fantastic team and we have just witnessed a truly positive outcome for our community.’

Gaining the edge on the HSC Jann Gilbert Domenique Sherab is a highachieving student from Byron Bay High School who completed HSC in 2007. Domenique attributes her success to a combination of hard work and the specialised English tutoring program, Gaining the Edge, which is run by the school and funded by the P&C. Gaining the Edge is a special program that gives HSC students oneon-one tuition in the English curriculum at no cost. ‘It really consolidated certain ideas for me and reinforced them,’ says Domenique. ‘It also offered a different perspective which was really helpful. When you’ve got a class full of 30 kids it’s hard but in the program you get one-on-one time. You can express ideas, explore different concepts, it’s really helpful.’ The program has been running for six years thanks to the efforts of the P&C and the program tutor Lynne Wallis. ‘The advantage this program gives is that it helps the students writing skills,’ says Lynne. ‘Like structuring responses, developing arguments and analysing questions. They improve these skills and they gain an edge in, not just English, but most

other subjects as well. It has a ﬂow-on effect. It’s so gratifying. I just love it.’ This year, however, the program’s funding was in doubt, due primarily to a loss of income from Blues Festival car parking with the relocation of the Festival to Belongil Fields. Money raised by the school from the Festival has helped to ﬁnance everything from soap in the toilets and landscaping the school grounds to Gaining the Edge. Thanks to the generosity of the parents of a top-performing 2007 student, who

wish to remain anonymous, the program is being offered again this year. However, it’s become so popular that students would like the school to be able to offer more tutorial time. ‘All the year 12 students want to use the program. We wish there were more sessions,’ said one student. ‘The program could accomplish twice as much with double the face-to-face tuition and could double the students assisted if the school could raise more money to fund it.’ This year Gaining the Edge will tutor around 30 students

over two days per fortnight. Given the all-round success of the program, both Lynne and the P&C would also like to be able to offer more hours to more students. ‘It’s on a first come, first serve basis,’ says Lynne. ‘ We fit it into free periods, before and after school. Given their timetables in HSC it’s hard to accommodate everyone when there’s only limited resources.’ Anyone interested in making a donation can contact the high school on 6685 8188 or email Claire Oelrichs on highnoon@breakofday.com.au.

Battle with lands board goes to court Story & photo Lou Beaumont For some 28 years Russell Preston of Middle Pocket has been at loggerheads with the Rural Lands Protection Boards (RLPB). The story began in 1980 when Mr Preston received a letter from the RLPB outlining their services and enclosing a bill of rates for these services. According to the RLPB website, their services include management of livestock (disease control, identiﬁcation, stock travel etc), pest animal and insect control and support with natural disaster relief schemes. In 2003, with Preston having accrued $1676 in unpaid rates, the RLPB tried to auction his house in Middle Pocket, having written to Preston about this possibility in 1999. Alerted to the auction taking place by a neighbour, Preston was able to pay the debt minutes before the auction thus saving his house. Since then however, a new debt is growing as the principle remains the same and Preston refuses to pay the Board. To date he owes in the vicinity of $300. Last Wednesday February 20, a solicitor representing the RLPB and Mr Preston met at Mullumbimby Courthouse for a pre-trial hearing regarding the outstanding debt. There was little outcome and the hearing was adjourned until Thursday March 13. Mr Preston told The Echo, ‘If the outcome of all of this is just to let other landowners know that they are able to appeal against rates [part

of the Rural Lands Protection Act] then I have succeeded in something.’ Under the current RLP Act, all landowners who own four or more hectares of land, no matter what the land use, must pay the annual rates to the RLPB. However, Mr Preston and a growing number of landowners, including Patrick Morrisey of Goonengerry, are reluctant to pay the levy due to the belief that the RLPB takes their money without returning said services.

Disgruntled landowners who don’t run stock, like Preston and Morrisey, but who are perhaps regenerating forest or growing coffee or macadamia plantations (cane growers are exempt from paying rates for reasons inexplicable) – believe the RLPB leans heavily towards helping those who run cattle but whose response to calls for assistance with feral animals, such as wild dogs, leaves much to be desired. Fellow RLPB resister Mr Morrisey said, ‘Russell may

not be successful with his appeal but good on him anyway. Any method that brings attention to this issue highlights the inequities in the system and is to be applauded. ‘I have six hectares at Goonengerry, all of which is regenerating wet schlerophyll rainforest and totally inappropriate for livestock. The RLPB even suggested I could make it appropriate for stock by allowing exotic grasses to invade my property. ‘It is clear to all of us that the RLPB’s approach to land value is almost solely centred around cattle. They do not use any other indicators relevant to current issues such as climate change or methane production as they should. Additionally, this approach from the RLPB seems to run an argument contrary to NSW government policy.’ Mr Preston said, ‘I believe the pre-trial review on March 13 will be in front of a magistrate and an open hearing, so anyone who wishes to witness what’s going on is welcome at Mullumbimby courthouse on the day.’ Perhaps the more supporters there are of a reviewed system the faster the RLPB will arrive in the year 2008. We are, after all, immersed well and truly in a rapidly changing climate in more respects than one. Perhaps in the near future those assisting in our Earth’s protection and renewal could be rewarded rather than penalised.

Drug/alcohol forum seeks solutions Story & photo Jann Gilbert The recent comments by Prime Minister Kevin Rudd regarding his concerns about binge drinking (a phenomenon that’s regularly foisted upon, or practised by, some of the inhabitants of Byron Shire) conﬁrmed that the timing for a public drug and alcohol forum is nigh. Initiator of the forum, Byron Ratepayers Association (BRA), hopes it will offer an ‘all of community approach’ that can formulate possible solutions to some of the problems caused by drugs and alcohol in the community. Scheduled for March 15 at the Lakehouse, Byron Bay Beach Resort, the forum hopes eventually to evolve into a community ‘standing committee’ on drug, alcohol and related issues. With only a limited amount of time and a lot of issues and voices to be considered BRA committee members have been busy meeting with interested community members and organisations to set down a program for the day. One thing BRA wanted to ensure was the participation of a diverse range of people including young people. BRA had already approached Director of Byron Youth Service (BYS) Paul Spooner about becoming involved, which led to the recent meeting between Paul, BRA Chairperson John Bailey, Secretary Chris Coles and committee member Norm Sanders to discuss the program. ‘We just wanted to sit together and have a chat,’ says John Bailey. ‘To get a little bit clearer about our direction, identify any areas that we may have overlooked.’ Given that BYS runs the Street Cruise program in town, and has firsthand experience of the alcoholand drug-fuelled behaviour of kids and adults alike, the committee felt it was impor-

tant to have them involved. ‘I’ve suggested that they have a young local person speak directly about their experiences, and they’ve taken up that suggestion,’ says Paul Spooner. ‘I think the more diversity, the better.’ That’s certainly what the committee are aiming for with plans to include representatives from schools, teachers, councillors, young people, parent groups, police, health workers and as many others as reasonably possible. ‘The one thing we want to avoid is a bunch of people standing on stage talking at other people.’ says Norm Sanders. ‘After an initial presentation and Q&A session for each of the speakers I think we need to put people into smaller discussion groups, maybe in the afternoon, so that everyone has a say.’ Not an easy task with so many voices to be heard but both Paul and the committee members are optimistic. ‘I think the committee has come up with a good program. I’m actually looking forward to having a diverse group of people talking about it and seeing what approach we can develop

here. If you get people interacting, the focus is on ideas,’ says Paul. John Bailey believes part of the approach needs to include a discussion about the effects on young people of living in what’s often seen as a ‘party town’. In fact, the germ of the idea for the forum came from BRA’s concern about mega-festivals coming to town and bringing with them the problems associated with binge drinking and a cocktail of other drugs as well. ‘What message are we giving the kids in this town? Every month you could have approximately 20,000 people descending on the town and even if you move the festival out of town, people come to stay here because this is where the accommodation is. We could be giving a message that this is the party town of Australia. It’s got the environment, it’s got the climate, it’s got the surf culture, the beaches…’

And as Chris Coles says, ‘Those who come to party go home but they’re replaced by yet another group, and another, and we’re left to pick up the pieces.’ However it’s not only the mega festivals that pose problems but the underlying commercialisation of alcohol and its all-pervasive presence in modern culture. Paul Spooner says, ‘The Street Cruise program has been running for four years and it’s a direct result of the alcohol culture in town. Friday nights, we’ve got two youth workers out on the streets, making sure young people stay safe. I think those sorts of things need to be discussed. ‘Adults need to be honest about what sort of culture we are in.’ Anyone interested in the forum can contact John Bailey via email at johnbailey@ linknet.com.au or visit www. byronbaydrugandalcoholforum.com.

The Fern Beach cane toad muster Margo Sutton The first of this year’s Byron Toad Busters rally brought roughly 60 or so volunteers to Fern Beach on Friday and Saturday night, February 15 and 16. After a briefing from the experts – how to identify, how to catch, where to look for Bufo marinus, aka cane toad – we plastered ourselves with mossie repellant and set off with gloves, hessian bags ands torches. We were looking for mature toads – the hundreds and thousands of metamorphs, or baby toads, are scattered through the bushland, on the roads and pavements – but it was the adults, preferably breeding females, that the Toad Busters particularly wanted to remove from the environment. We set off in groups of three or four, having a great time getting to know each other, without much culling luck until it was dark. ‘Got one’ came the first triumphant cry. By 9.30pm on Saturday night 145 adults were removed from the environment, 223 juveniles and 11,056 metamorphs, which are toads just emerged from tadpoles. Each one of the metamorphs was identified by the experts, because toads

can be confused with native frogs at this early stage. Toad expert Michael Maloney, with biodiversity officer Wendy Neilan and other helpers, anaesthetised the toads with Aquis, a ﬁsh anaesthetic based on clove oil. This is the most humane way of killing toads. At home we should refrigerate for a couple of hours and then freeze the comatose toads for ten hours, which is still a fairly humane procedure. Michael Maloney reminds us that cane toads are live animals that did not choose to be here, so please catch and freeze, don’t stomp, bash or hit with golf stick. One of the best ways to

catch a fast moving toad or two is with a sturdy ﬁsh or butterﬂy net. We knew we should try to grab the toad near the back legs, rather than near the poison glands behind the eyes, but if you have your trusty kitchen gloves on, it’s not a problem. Some of the volunteers at Fern Beach had never picked up a toad, so it was a learning process accompanied by many involuntary shrieks. We noticed that the teenagers and children were particularly good at this task. For future volunteers, a torch with a good strong light is essential, (the ultimate is a miner’s headband

type torch which leaves both hands free) and at least two people – one to hold the sack or plastic bags and one to catch the toads. Some useful data were collected by bush regenerator and environmental science student Wendy Gibney, who, with bush regen associates Dave Rawlins and Rachel Heaton, examined the stomachs of 60 toads. They had eaten insects, beetles, spiders and snails, leaves, flowers and small twigs, small stones and metamorphs, but not as many ants as had been expected. This could be because the recent ﬂooding near Fern Beach has caused ants to move up to higher ground. About a score of people living in the area will be frog monitoring – tape recording frog calls at different places and different times, to see how many natives are alive and well in the area. Meanwhile continuous hunting and catching will prevail. The next Byron Toad Busters site will be at Whian Whian on March 14 and 15. For any more information, ring Michael Maloney (0401 034 942) or Wendy Neilan at Byron Council.

Brunswick Valley Landcare is holding a community tree planting day on Sunday March 2 from 9.30am in Mullumbimby. Come and help plant local rainforest trees alongside Saltwater Creek, on the corner of Whian Street and River Terrace. Brunswick Valley Landcare is working to restore more than 2km of riparian area in Mullumbimby. These areas are being restored to lowland subtropical rainforest which is classiﬁed as an endangered ecological com-

munity. Weeds and rubbish have been removed and trees have been planted on public and private lands from the Hospital to Federation Bridge. Riparian areas, deﬁned as those that adjoin a body of water, contain a high diversity of living organisms and play a crucial role as a corridor for the movement of animals and dispersal of plants. Healthy riparian land is important as it reduces erosion, improves water quality, protects native vegetation, increases ﬁsh habitat

and provides a home for other species living in the water and on the land. The planting is funded by Rainforest Rescue’s Plant A Rainforest Project and the NSW Government’s Environmental Trust. Brunswick Valley Landcare has just successfully received three years of funding from Environmmental Trust to continue restoration works on riparian land. Everyone welcome on Sunday. Please bring sun smart gear, water to drink and gloves.

Byron Shire Council has expanded its support for young people in the Shire by creating a new Youth Development Ofﬁcer position.The position will be shared by two new recruits for the ﬁrst year. Maggie Brown will work two days a week supporting the development of events and activities for young people in the north of the Shire under a project called A Safe Place To Be. Rita YoussefPrice will be focusing on the development of a long term youth strategy in close con-

sultation with young people and the broader community for the remaining three days a week. The position is funded partly by the NSW Attorney Generals Department. Rita said, ‘Council wants to see a cohesive longer term plan in place that outlines how Council responds to youth issues and how to communicate effectively with young people. ‘There are already a lot of existing youth organisations in place, we are now hoping to come up with a plan that

Film award for Bradbury Film Australia last week at the Australia International Documentary Conference recognised the work of local documentary filmmaker David Bradbury by presenting him with the Stanley Hawes Award for 2008. The award is for outstanding contribution to the Australian documentary sector and comes with a $5,000 prize. ‘David Bradbury is a filmmaker who has made a tremendous impact on the documentary sector in Australia,’ said Film Australia CEO Daryl Karp.‘He has worked tirelessly and often gone to extraordinary lengths to produce powerful films – and in doing so, has lifted the bar for other filmmakers in this country. ‘There are few Australian documentary makers with the passion and determination of David Bradbury. He has continued to produce exceptional stories, filmed under incredible circumstances and not all with the support of government funding. He has always been driven by his belief that the Australian public deserved be informed. In his acceptance speech Bradbury noted, ‘It’s not getting any easier to survive as an independent documentary filmmaker commit-

ted to making films that have a social justice, political or environmental flavour. They will deny it till the cows come home but in Australia our public broadcasters have joined the ranks of their commercial free to air programming colleagues to fill our screens too often with dross and lifestyle oriented documentaries that are geared to please the audience and often appeal to the widest common denominator rather than what is in the national interest.’ Local Byron emerging filmmaker Kamahl Druesne won the popular people’s award for his pitch for his film Moments of Madness: A Camel’s Odyssey which brought with it $l0,000 and free use of ABC archival footage.

Bradbury’s award was established by Film Australia in 1997 to honour legendary Australian documentary producer Stanley Hawes, the first Producer-in-Chief of the Australian National Film Board (1946-1969), later to become Film Australia. Previous winners include Mike Gissing (2007), John Hughes (2006), the Central Australian Aboriginal Media Association (2005), Robin Hughes (2004), Stewart Young (2003). Bradbury has produced 21 documentaries. He has won many international film festival prizes and been the winner of five AFI awards and two Academy Award nominations (Frontline, Chile: Hasta Cuando?).

Human rights at ﬁlmfest Troubled by China’s human rights abuse record, Steven Spielberg has pulled out of the Olympic Games as an artistic adviser; the Dalai Lama continues to raise awareness of the Tibetan people’s plight as he travels the world; and come March, the Byron Bay Film Festival will screen several documentaries about the plight of the Tibetan people, and place the ‘roof of the world’ at the forefront of viewers’ minds. The Year of the Underdog documents a year in the life of the Tibetan freedom struggle as 23 Tibetan students cycle across India in protest at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. Sarah Sifer’s documentary Fate of the Lhapa tells the story of the last three remaining Tibetan shamans (Lhapas) who live in a Tibetan refugee camp in Nepal. Finally, The Dalai Lama’s Cat traces the journey of two friends as they travel across Tibet to Mount Kailish, where a ‘kora’ around the base of the mountain is said to absolve a lifetime’s sins. On their journey, they witness the conditions of the Tibetan people, the magic of the plateau, and are given a poignant reminder that what you see is not necessarily the whole truth. Michael

Boswell, the film’s director, will attend the festival. ‘Byron Bay may not be the largest place on earth but a lot of people come to the festival and many of them feel very passionate about human rights issues,’ says festival organiser J’aimee Skippon-Volke. J’aimee believes the Byron Bay Film Festival is an important platform for issues like Tibet, especially with such a receptive audience. This year’s official selection includes a number of films that deal with important sociopolitical issues from Cuban politics to Byron Bay trains. ‘The festival is a platform for various under-represented issues and individuals with films about Iranian and Afghan women, black surfers in South Africa and Africa, street kids exploited by corporations, children

affected by AIDS in Cambodia and, what’s become an extremely topical issue, Cuba under Castro. There’s also a program of political films such as Michael Weatherhead’s Road to Palestine which looks at the Middle East conflict through the eyes of Palestinian-Australian, Fetah Sabawi. Plus there’s a bit of US politics in there, indigenous issues and lots more. ‘Though tackling serious issues the independent filmmakers often bring heart and humour to the stories which keeps these films and issues accessible to people coming for entertainment.’ The Byron Bay Film Festival runs from February 29 to March 8 at the Byron Bay Community and Cultural Centre.

Same environment, different day Vol 22 #37

February 26, 2008

Cat among the pigeons Professor Ross Garnaut has well and truly set the cat among the pigeons with his interim report to federal government on climate change – see www. garnautreview.org.au. His suggested cuts of up to 90% in some areas of emissions by 2050 have the feds gulping, with Minister for Climate Change Penny Wong insisting the government will stick to its 2050 target of 60%. Politics rules even when the Great Barrier Reef and the Amazon Basin are at stake; it seems we cannot prepare properly for disaster until disaster actually hits us. Australians, while greedy in the energy stakes, only produce a small amount of humankind’s emissions. As Professor Garnaut pointed out, Australia cutting its emissions will be a positive example to the world but won’t count for much unless other developed and developing nations – think USA, China, India – set strong targets as well. If not, Byron Shire will be one of the vulnerable areas – as the promotional slogan for the film Volcano noted, ‘the coast is toast’. Vulnerability is also the province of the poor, and already the signals are being sent they could be hard hit by climate change. The power providers see a need to increase prices to cover emission costs and to help subsidise alternative power sources – no doubt with a little margin built in to help out the shareholders and bulk up the CEO’s salary. Tony Nicholson, Executive Director of the Brotherhood of St Laurence, welcomed Garnaut’s concerns for the disadvantaged: ‘Disadvantaged people face a double whammy because they will be harder hit by both the impact of climate change, such as increased storms and flooding of low-lying areas, and by the essential action taken to counter global warming, such as a price on carbon emissions, which will increase energy costs and therefore the price of other goods and services. ‘Research the Brotherhood commissioned from the National Institute of Economic and Industry Research demonstrated that poor Australian families would be $558 out of pocket annually if carbon was priced at $25 a tonne and much more the higher the price is set.’ In his call for policies to assist the disadvantaged Nicholson said, ‘Poor households simply can’t afford to buy a newer, more efficient car or a low-energy fridge, for example. Renters don’t have the money or the authority to make the home improvements that would cut the use of greenhouse gases.’ It is essential that the blame game is avoided to help make resilient communities. Locally we have the tools to do that: already helpful information is available through the North Coast Climate Action group (www.nccag.org) and the new local website www.climateleadership.net.au. Don’t wait for any level of government to get its act together.

hile our ‘super hero’ PM Kevin Rudd appears to have an almost unblemished record of keeping his election promises (so far) not even he appears to be willing to take the leap necessary for immediate and positive action on climate change, despite the recent warnings of its impact on Australia. Unless you spent last week stuck down a rabbit hole then you’ve no doubt heard/read/ seen something of Professor Ross Garnaut’s interim report to the government on climate change. The state and territory leaders who helped commission the report all agree it sounds an important warning that needs to be regarded, Climate Change Minister Penny Wong says it will ‘help to inform the federal government as it develops its policies’, even the PM says it’s ‘vital’ that the government gets its climate change policies right. In light of a small story in last week’s media that barely raised an eyebrow, there are possibly a number of environmental groups out there who would beg to differ. To be fair, the Rudd government certainly doesn’t appear to be adopting the previous government’s Pollyanna approach to climate change, however reports of $6 million in environmental funding that’s about to be returned to Treasury’s coffers because the relevant committee can’t ﬁnd anywhere to spend it don’t exactly inspire conﬁdence. The Maintaining Australia’s Biodiversity Hotspots (MABH) program was set up by the Howard government (which may explain the committee’s lethargy) ‘to improve the conservation of biodiversity hotspots on private and leasehold land by enhancing active conservation manage-

ment and protection of existing terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems as habitat for native plants and animals.’ The program funds two activities in hotspot areas: stewardship payments for onground biodiversity improvements and voluntary acquisitions. It is to be wound up in June 2008 with funds remaining, apparently because suitable properties could not be found. The only comment on the issue appeared to come from Greens Senator Rachel Siewert, who said last week, ’If anybody from an environment group’s listening to this right now they’re having conniptions that there’s $6 million that could have been spent on purchasing properties and is now being handed back and not expended… It is

acteristically adolescent, no tomorrow, attitude. It’s clear from Greenpeace and other environmental lobby groups that the only real way to save the planet (or more specifically, all its inhabitants) is to phase out the internal combustion engine. Mention this, however, and the deafening gasps of disbelief and outrage can be heard around the globe, followed by the vitriolic responses that conjure up all manner of economic and social turmoil as a result. Clean(?) coal, biofuels, desalination plants and other likeminded proposals are simply a ruse to keep a fossilfuelled economy alive. Sir Richard Branson may have meant well with his recent biofuelled jet ﬂight but he was sadly mistaken. UN bio-

It’s clear from Greenpeace and other environmental lobby groups that the only real way to save the planet is to phase out the internal combustion engine. by Jann Gilbert clear to me that the problem isn’t a lack of suitable properties to invest in. I believe that the Department simply didn’t look hard enough.’ It appears the government isn’t looking hard enough at a number of environmental issues. If the political will is not present to find somewhere to spend $6 million on the Australian environment how on earth is the government going to ask the hard questions, let alone act on them. Unfortunately, at a time in history when it’s critical to start behaving like intelligent, functional adults, the human race appears to be careering towards disaster with a char-

ing our children to a very dismal destiny indeed,’ then he’d be showing real leadership by amending the government’s timetable on emissions targets as recommended in Professor Garnaut’s report. Rather than the doom and gloom that opponents of emissions targets predict, as Professor Garnaut says, Australia is relatively well-placed to convert strong action on climate change into economic opportunity. ‘Sure now we’re very strongly a fossil fuel-based economy, especially coalbased, but we’ve got better opportunities for renewable resources – sunshine, like you see all around you, possibly geothermal, very good sites for carbon capture and storage…’ Not to mention loads of other ideas for solutions that are more efﬁcient and environmentally friendly, if the will exists to implement them. And while transitional programs may be costly and, god forbid, inconvenient, what is the alternative? Mad Max or Waterworld springs to mind. Chief Executive of the Climate Institute John Connor says Garnaut’s report not only sounds a warning but also outlines how Australia can become a low-carbon economy. ‘What’s signiﬁcant is that he highlights that Australia is one of the countries most at risk from climate change, but also has most to gain from early action on climate change,’ Mr Connor said. ‘So this is a real important curtain-raiser on a mature debate that we need to have, and that needs to look at strong action and decisive action.’ Sooner rather than later, hopefully.

fuel targets for commercial transport are already creating havoc with what’s left of the world’s old-growth and peat forests, God help us if we start using biofuels for air travel – we can literally watch what remains of the peat forests go up in smoke, and not for very great beneﬁt either. As an alternative, biofuels simply aren’t sustainable. We’d need to put the whole of Australia under biofuel crop to provide 10% of our energy requirements, and just imagine the effect that would have on food prices, inflation and everything else. If, as Prime Minister Rudd says, ‘failure to act is consign- Q Mungo is on holiday.

The transport buck Peggy Balfour’s encounter with the blame game is disheartening (Letters, February 19). Justine Elliot did promise to ‘save’ the Casino-Murwillumbah rail line prior to the 2004 election. In a letter to residents, Ms Elliot noted the cooperation between ‘Federal Labor and the NSW Government’ in ‘reaching an agreement to reinstate the train’ with Federal Labor committing $150 million. Ms Elliot won the election by 301 votes. Now that ‘Federal Labor’ has become the Federal Government, it is time for Ms Elliot to act on her commitment. As she reminded residents in her letter, ‘this result shows what we can achieve for the North Coast if we stop the buck passing’. May I suggest that others follow Peggy’s lead and contact Ms Elliot’s ofﬁce. Basil Cameron

Goonengerry Q In reply to Ross Thatcher (Letters, February 12) regarding ‘Rail versus Road’. Every country in the EU, Russia, Israel, Kuwait, Turkey, UAE, UK, USA is proposing and implementing the upgrading of railways in order to reduce road trafﬁc congestion, CO2 emissions, reduce trucks and heavy vehicle usage of roads. I could give links to government sites regarding the issue but I don’t think The Echo would have space to list them all so a few snippets may sufﬁce.

Doing business in Mullum Q I strongly object to David Lovejoy’s attempt to curtail criticism of Mallams decision to sell out to Woolworths on the ground that ‘the family’s hundred year association with Mullumbimby warrants better than such small-mindedness’ (Echo, February 19). I would have thought it obvious that a business and its community mutually support each other and so an ethical and socially responsible decision to sell out would not enrich one party to the detriment of the other. Where is the community beneﬁt in what Mallams has done? It goes against the expressed opposition of a sizeable cross-section of the community, and leaves many of us with the bitter taste of a Woolworths poison pill to swallow. And further, I take issue with Lovejoy’s lame assertion that we should not blame a local business for making a ‘rational business decision’. There’s so much more to it than that. That kind of narrow economic thinking, divorced from wider community and ethical concerns, is precisely what is compromising and destroying local communities and environments all over the planet.

railway land, got knocked back by Council, took their case to Frank Sartor and got their approval and were then forced to sell their freshly rezoned land and DA to Woolworths. Any developer looking to have land rezoned and proposing a DA could only expect considerable legal costs, risk, conditions and delay. Few developers are as fortunate as Mallams. Taking out costs, I wonder how much Mallams got for cashing in their chips in Mullumbimby. Exactly how big do our tears have to be? Garry Scott

Mullumbimby Q In regards to Michael Connolly’s letter (Echo, February 19) about Woolies doing home delivery, I believe that Woolies at Tweed city and most others are stopping home deliveries as they don’t make enough money to give a damn about the elderly or anyone else so I think this just proves that they are commercial giants and not friends of our beautiful little town. I will not support Woolworths, I’m with Maleny on this one. Deanna Rea

Europe: ‘Railway axis Berlin–Verona/Milan–Bologna, Naples–Messina–Palermo. The additional capacity and improved quality of service will attract new rail trafﬁc, helping to reduce road congestion along this key corridor by shifting freight and passengers to the railway.

intruding into my mind. Woolworths is a very successful Australian company on which so many independent retirees and superannuants rely on for income. It is a compliment to our area that Mullumbimby has been singled out as a town of stability with a bright future. Competition in business is hardly new, with each baker, hairdresser, or restaurateur being fully aware that, while they would indeed enjoy a monopoly in the town, it is a sad fact of life that unless they endeavour to provide superior service they will go to the wall. On a larger scale we have a free trade agreement with other nations of the world, we have removed tariff barriers, and while many businesses have suffered, the smart and adaptable ones have risen to the challenge and done well. Curiously, protests do not appear to be coming from local businesses but activists whose agenda might be worthy of scrutiny. Hopefully, those small businesses in Mullumbimby which the activists are gratuitously endeavouring to protect are at this moment sitting down and planning how they can take advantage of the Woolworths development. There are many positives to this situation which are not at present being given a fair hearing. Richard L Kidby

Low cost housing There is much palaver in the media about the shortage of low cost housing on the north coast but it pales into insignificance when compared to the buckets of real estate advertising which makes up a large portion of any local rag. There’s money to be made for some and unless the local populations regain a sense of custody over their towns, developers, hand in hand with the state

government, are going to sell the soul of every coastal village left on the north coast. It has been made possible by the corrupt practice of developer funding to state government coffers and intense lobbying by vested interests.The payback has meant a state government bending over backwards for developers in this region. For Brunswick Heads this has resulted in the state government seizing control of the three caravan parks with no valid reason being given to Byron Shire Council and which has resulted in a net loss to Council to maintain Brunswick Heads caravan parks and reserves. Byron Shire overall has a history of high rents and shortage of low cost housing and yet the caravan parks which are central to housing large numbers of people adequately and cheaply are to be turned over to more tourists and more residential holiday rentals. We need to retain residents who are able to walk to local shops all year round, providing a sustainable economic advantage for this small town. The added

bonus of access to the beautiful environment keeps everyone happy and gives the town its laidback ambience. If permanent residents do move on, the sites should be kept as

low cost housing sites, not gobbled back up for tourists. I work at the local bowling club and often hear tourists talk about their enjoyment and appreciation of the local

area not only for the environment but also for the friendly permanent residents at the Park. Local park residents also enjoy the company of a variety of tourists,

Listen to the people on development impact Q Garth Brien’s letter regarding Splendour’s DA for a trial event (Echo, February 19) ﬁnished along the same lines as many of the other pro Splendour letters published in the past. By suggesting that we who oppose the trial DA ought to lighten up, buy a ticket and have some fun. I would love to know why Garth and others are so relaxed about holding a massive festival in an already degraded yet vital wildlife corridor. Do you have some information that I don’t that has reassured you that they won’t further damage the corridor? I have studied ecology and worked in the conservation movement. I understand the importance of the Marshalls Ridge wildlife corridor and I have read the Splendour DA, all of it and

not just the pretty ads they put in The Echo. What I read made me very concerned. You suggest that we should ‘loosen up’, I suggest in return you ‘smarten up’. Buy yourself an ecology text book, actually read the Splendour ‘trial’ DA and do a little research about the Marshalls Ridge wildlife corridor. Then maybe you will understand why some of us are having trouble chilling out about this issue. Katharine Bell

Burringbar Q The Sustainable Villages Alliance is an alliance of more than 20 community groups across the Tweed and Byron Shires. It was formed in response to the common issues that communities are facing in the area and the need for residents to be

heard by planning bodies. One of these issues is overdevelopment and the cumulative effects largescale developments can have. Another is the issue of having developments foisted on communities regardless of mass opposition. On the border of the Byron/ Tweed Shires there are three major development sites within a radius under three kilometres. One of these is, of course, the Splendour in the Grass festival site. Combine this with the Wooyung tourist site, the massive Dunloe Park sand extraction proposal and add a further 94ha bought within the same radius by development company ‘No Limits’ Pty Ltd for an as yet undisclosed purpose and you begin to see the cause for concern from residents in the north of the Byron.

Any of these elements have the potential to have large impacts on the surrounding communities but together the cumulative effects could be disastrous – to the local infrastructure, to the environment, to the ﬂoodplain and the health of the people who live there. This density of development is not limited. It is happening right across both Shires. There is a strong groundswell of dissatisfaction in communites. The Alliance aims to give a stronger voice to communities which may not have the resources or the knowledge necessary to try and ﬁght a system which is clearly balanced in the favour of developers, councils and the government. To try and protect the communities that are already here and to ask

councillors and state government planning bodies alike to listen to the people they are representing. For Byron Shire the most contentious of these developments at the moment is the Splendour in the Grass festival site, and we say to councillors, listen to the people you represent, to the ratepayers who voted for you. If the choice is the North Byron Shire Parkland site or no Splendour, then the choice from communities in the north of the Shire has been made very clear. If the communities around Byron itself wish to keep the festivals of this size, then let them host them. Listen to the people. Julie Boyd

a lot of whom have built up good relationships over many years. Shifting all permanent residents from Terrace Reserve and Massey Greene caravan parks to an expanded Ferry Reserve caravan park is one of the more controversial proposals in a state government draft strategic plan for crown reserves at Brunswick Heads. Another is to develop an ecotourism resort on land south of the Bruns Surf Club requiring the removal of a large area of higher conservation value vegetation. You can view the study on www.lands.nsw.gov. au. The state government’s arrogance and disdain for the majority of Brunswick Heads residents needs to be greeted with howls of outrage or at the very least an avalanche of emails, letters, phone calls, soapbox tirades and if that fails a supported standoff by park residents to remain ﬁrmly where they are.

Letters my wonderful companion of three years a few months ago because an arrogant and irresponsible pair of dog walkers who continually walked past our house with one dog (who liked playing) off a leash and another dog (who liked fighting) on a leash – a deadly combination which teases other people’s dogs to try to escape. They fixed the problem they were told they were causing by doing their walking past our house when they knew I was at work. My dog died a horrible, agonising death because these people knew at the time they had caused an accident but didn’t investigate or inform a responsible person there might be a problem. It was left to my 91 year old mother and myself to ﬁnd my dog hung. This has just been topped by one of the obvious pethaters that inhabit the New Brighton/Golden Beach

areas. My new 15-week old pup got led off down the beach by another dog and before I could get to him ended up near the entrance to the carpark. Marching up the beach towards the carpark was an adult male who could hear me calling the pup and the disoriented pup began to follow him. Did this person try to send the pup back or stop so I could catch up and get the pup? No, this so-called adult just marched to their car and let the pup follow them. I arrived at the carpark still calling the pup but this person just got into their car, made no attempt to help me retrieve the pup and then just backed out fast while the pup was almost underneath the car, just missing it. Of course, they then sped up the road so I couldn’t confront them. But I did get the numberplate and the incident will be reported to the police and RSPCA.

I had been told previously that there were people in this area who deliberately walked the off-leash area when they could walk elsewhere just to cause trouble and make complaints, but didn’t believe it. Now I do. A little research has shown that the ‘dog problem’ in this shire was started by a letter in The Echo in 1992 by someone called Anand Arup and it has been carried on ever since by a very small but energetic cabal of letter-writers. If your readers do this for themselves they will ﬁnd it is a small handful of people, many of whom are partners. As Brian Milner and others have pointed out in their comments about Jenny Coman’s call for ‘Balance’, there never has been any balance, as Jenny well knows. Dunlop and Co did support your last election as a councillor, didn’t they, Jenny? We have been denied the rights

Suffolk Park plans The recent article by Jann Gilbert regarding the Suffolk Park Caravan Park does not express the views of the Suffolk Park Progress Association, but rather those of the outgoing president of the association, Peter Stolz. In particular, the decision by Council to reclassify the land to operational is not entirely related to the community not having made a decision on the vision for the future use of the Park. The land is currently zoned as continued overleaf

JC isn’t the only writer contributing to the decline of The Echo.Too many stars and not enough talent seems to be the norm of recent years. If my own vast circle of Echoreading friends is anything to go by, many of your readers are growing tired of self-centred ramblings from the Echo’s glittering pantheon. So, well done, Melissa. The fact that ‘The Echo is very happy with John Campbell’s writing’ is probably a good explanation of why the paper is going downhill so rapidly.

Healing depression I recently became aware of the prevalence of depression in our culture and our community through struggling with severe post-natal depression myself. There’s a lot of people depressed, more than I know who have cancer, or heart disease or any other illness, and the most lethal illness too, among the people I know/have known..Why isn’t there more awareness of this widespread, terrifying, debilitating condition? Martin Seligman, author of Learned Optimism, attributes the steady increase of depression in our culture to the rise of individualism, and the decline of the commons (community). One of his suggestions for preventing, and healing, depression is to do something for the world at large, or other people, to help us feel empowered to make positive changes. I can fully appreciate that from my own experience, where I am blessed to have true friends who helped to carry my family and I through a very difﬁcult time. I had many helpful sugges-

tions: medication, exercise, herbs, homeopathy, blue sky therapy! But what prompted me to write this letter is something we as a community can do, and individually, in our own lives, recognising that the ﬂip side of our privileged ‘western’ culture is the sense of isolation and alienation it brings, and to nurture at least a sense of community in our hearts. It’s so important that we recognise our own ability to help, to be kind, to help make changes, to make the effort to get to know our neighbours a little, to take the time to listen – for some people, these basic kindnesses can mean the difference between life or death. And to remember that old saying, that love is truly what makes our human world go round. Laura Targett

What’s in the foam on our beaches? Hans Lovejoy Recent heavy rains have resulted in foam on our beaches. Is it chemical runoff from farming practices or is it a natural occurrence of organic matter and heavy seas? Undoubtedly the foam smells and looks bad, polluting our usually pristine beaches, and closer examination reveals that it may not be as safe to play in as previously thought. Wetland Care Australia’s Mark Bayley believes it’s a combination of a natural occurrence and pollutants. ‘Sea foam is formed when you get rough sea that churns up microscopic animals/ plants within the water column of the ocean (plankton),’ he told The Echo. ‘Rough sea basically split these microscopic animals open and the proteins contained within their cells are released to the ocean. This, combined with oxygen from the turbulent ocean, creates the foam. As it is a natural process, it is not seen as a bad thing. ‘However, pollutants coming down from catchments during rainfall events can bind onto the surface of the foam that may provide a health risk for people coming into contact with it (ie pesticides, hydrocarbons, heavy metals). Generally rough seas

that produce sea foam occur with heavy rainfall, so the foam is often brownish in colour. This may be caused by small particles of sediment getting incorporated into the foam. ‘Our wetlands have been destroyed and replaced with urban, industry and agriculture development, so the landscape has little ability to mitigate against storm ﬂows and catchment pollution. Wetlands can be seen as “kidneys of the catchment” helping to clean water on its way to the ocean. Wetlands also mitigate against ﬂooding, as they act much like a sponge – absorbing water in the wet,

letting it go slowly in the dry.’ Acquiring land for major wetland rehabilitation needs to occur for our landscape to become sustainable, argues Mr Bayley. ‘If we do not want to see major fish kills every time we have a significant flood event, we need to rehabilitate the “kidneys of the catchment” on a significant level,’ he says. ‘Unfortunately, much of the north coast wetlands have been lost to development. We can rehabilitate wetlands successfully if we have the land, but the hard job will be getting the land back from current uses. One option would be to target

land on the low lying coastal floodplain and pay owners a fee to management their land for wetland rehabilitation. The government could pay these landholders for the ecosystem benefit their restored wetland would provide to the landscape.’ NSW Sugar spokesperson Greg Sweetnam declined to comment on wetland rehabilitation, however he told The Echo, ‘My brief research found ocean foam can be caused by several factors including decaying and rotting fish and other agents in the water, both from agricultural and or urban sources, continued overleaf

Help save water A new campaign has been launched by Landcare Australia and Banrock Station aiming to save hundreds of thousands of megalitres of water nationwide – by asking all households across the nation to reduce their water use by 10%. The new Help Us Help the Earth campaign highlights that if all Australians reduce their household water use by just 10% this will lead to 210,000 megalitres of water saved every year. Olympic swimming legend Michael Klim has thrown his support behind the campaign. He said, ‘One leaking tap can waste up to a staggering 35 buckets of water a day – enough to ﬁll a family size pool during the year! And having a shower for one minute less saves another bucket of water. It is

not hard to see that simple actions around the home and garden can make a huge difference.’ New Roy Morgan research being released as part of the campaign shows that 15 million Australians have no idea how much water they use in their home but over 75% of Australians are concerned or very concerned about the country’s declining water levels. Campaign organisers are asking all Australians to join the challenge through a new interactive website www.helpushelptheearth.com.au, which shows many inexpensive tips to reduce household water usage. Visitors to the site are also able to submit their water saving ideas into an online pool and possibly win prizes for their suggestions.

such as stormwater drain run-off, so to pinpoint it as one of the many would not appear accurate.’ So what’s in the foam? Byron Shire Council’s Noreen Scott also agrees it’s a combination of natural and synthetic (human made) surfactants. She told The Echo, ‘When examined microscopically the scum contains unicellular algae such as diatoms and dinoflagellates, along with tiny particles of larger decaying algae (seaweed). Also in the mix are tiny crustaceans and a variety of body parts of other small planktonic animals, all bound together in a mucus film. In addition to these organic components tiny particles of sand and finer sediment that have been caught up in the foam are also present. Chemical analysis of scums from beaches reveal the presence of polysaccharides (the main component of the mucus) and proteins, both of which are released as

algae die and break down. ‘The runoff of nutrients, such as fertiliser, from land may exacerbate the problem by encouraging algae to ﬂourish in near-shore waters. The algae eventually die off as conditions become less favourable and their breakdown products are whipped into foam by the action of the surf. The foam, in turn, traps other debris and forms the familiar brown scum that gets left on the beach. ‘While the foam is generally considered to be harmless, Council does not advise people to swim in thick foam-affected waters, particularly after heavy rainfall events. The principal risk is that the water is obscured by the foam, and hazards such as not being able to determine the depth of the water (before diving in) or seeing sticks and other sharp objects may result in injury. The thick foams are also an indicator of strong currents and heavy wave action that are not conducive to safe swimming environments.’

How do they know there is nectar here now? The radio senses transmissions and relays to me a morning tune. How is it that there is a four hundred year old composition fresh in my ears now? I turn on the shower. How is it I can splash in the water of a river tapped many kilometres away and piped into my bathroom? As coffee is made, I slice bread. I look afresh at its texture. How is it microbes of yeast have digested grain to produce this morsel? The rain starts again.

Thank You

e have been overwhelmed by the genuine and heartfelt outpouring of love and compassion shown to our family after the recent loss of our beloved Matt.

The whole community has taken us under their protective wing and we will never be able to adequately express our deep gratitude. We have come to understand the true meaning of community. We would like to acknowledge the response from the business community which has been beyond generous, as well as all of Matt’s various clubs and associations who have been a tower of strength. Without the help of these groups our struggle would have been all the greater. We would like to thank our friends who kindly provided accommodation for our relatives from interstate, this allowed us the space to do the things that needed doing. We could not have managed without our team of angels who were there for us when we needed them the most, helping us in the daily running of our home and dealing with all the little things we were unable to address, and simply being there for us. We would like to thank everyone for their support and comfort especially Matt’s mates who have been so gentle and caring towards his sister Angela, who has not lost a brother, but gained a whole family of brothers and sisters whose unfailing care she has been left in, by her brother Matty. We would like to thank everybody individually but we know that there are so many who have done things for us that we may never know about. Please accept this as our personal and profound thanks. We would like you all to know that it is through the love and care that has been shown toward our family, that we have come to know Matt as more than just the son and brother he was to us, but as the great young man and friend he was in your lives, and this has been an immense comfort to us. Thank you. Jo, Richard and Angela

rain together with the summer heat and sunlight are like yeast and grain: they come together and grow something. The pipes which zigzag out of town are the new braids of an artiﬁcial mouth to a river which wouldn’t otherwise be here at the sea. When I see the sand myself, questions start in my head. They build on the learning of generations of scholars and communities of locals. The seagull cries as it takes off. On other beaches, the sands can change colour too. Green algae appear overnight; the sudden growth of single celled plants happens throughout the world. As dramatically, the sands on the Pacific West Coast of North America can go blue by day and then bioluminescent by night. The coastal water goes red. This is due to a bloom of dinoﬂagellates. These microscopic creatures use sunshine as does a plant and move through water

intentionally as does an animal. Different species have similar effects right around the world. Then there are cyanobacteria, making bluegreen layers of scum, rounding off this trio of ﬂamboyant microbes. These are ancient species of an earth whose ﬁrst microbial life dates back 3.4 billion years ago. Today, we notice these wild microbes seem to be revitalised by modern runoff and discharges into the sea. What happens in the sands we play in as kids? What is getting mixed up in the swash, that sand and seawater swirl we stroll through as the sun rises or sets? What cycles of life are growing in that coastal water in which we swim and surf? These questions are the sort of thing we could bring to our local science shop, if we had one. A science shop is known throughout the world as an independent participatory research group that responds to queries rai-

sed by people (www.scienceshops.org). Researchers work with locals in their communities to create knowledge and set in place practical applications. If knowledge is power, then getting science to work for people, not only for governments or big business, is about power sharing. At our local science shop, the team could check internationally about green sand. They would tell us about microbes. But they could also report the ﬁndings from the Clean Beaches Council, a national education and action group about beach sustainability in North America. The group is calling for national and international research into sand/microbe interactions in the interest of public and ecological health. It’s also encouraging a network of beachgoers dedicated to beach science education. The science shop team could also tell us about the Blue Flag Award, the prestigious program of beach quality standards which acts ‘as a guarantee to tourists that the beach they are visiting is one of the best in the world’. They could network with other Australian science shops to note national concerns. They could check with their lists of researchers and projects and see what could be done to learn more. Finally, they would look at us and say, ‘What would you want to do now that you know this much?’ See, for all the extraordinary that goes on in a day, what is so vital? What is that uniquely human quality we bring to the world? Paying attention. Q For more about science shops in the Antipodes, see www.mgardner.info/scienceshops.

Have say in SCU osteoarthritis study People suffering from osteoarthritis of the knees are being invited to take part in a new study to investigate the effect of a nutritional supplement program in reducing knee pain, fatigue and other symptoms many people experience as they get older. The study is being conducted by Southern Cross University’s NatMedResearch Unit under the supervision of Dr Joan O’Connor. ‘We are looking for individuals who have a conﬁrmed diagnosis of osteoarthritis of the knees, but otherwise in good general health, who are aged between 50 and 85 years,’ Dr O’Connor said.

The study will investigate the safety and efﬁcacy of a commercially-available nutritional program in improving the quality of life, reducing fatigue and improving memory in participants diagnosed with osteoarthritis of the knee. ‘Arthritis is a leading cause of disability. The market for arthritis drugs and therapeutics is set to significantly increase over the next 5-10 years, reaching an estimated US$21 billion by 2010,’ she said. ‘Arthritis is very common, affecting about one in six Australians and nearly one in four Americans. Osteoarthritis is the most frequent cause of disability among adults in the developed world.’

Dr O’Connor said participants in the study would need to attend three clinics at the Lismore campus over a period of eight weeks. ‘We are expecting that there will be a reduction in fatigue and an improvement in memory,’ she said. Participants will be interviewed over the phone and, if they meet the study criteria, be invited to attend an assessment clinic. People who do not have x-ray conﬁrmation of their arthritis will be asked to attend North Coast Radiology to have an x-ray (at no cost). Anyone interested in taking part should contact Dr O’Connor on 66203649 or email joan.oconnor@scu. edu.au.

PORTRAITURE

Glo hair & makeup The Owl and the Pussy-cat went to sea In a beautiful pea green boat, They took some honey, and plenty of money, Wrapped up in a ďŹ ve pound note. The Owl looked up to the stars above, And sang to a small guitar, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;O lovely Pussy! O Pussy my love, What a beautiful Pussy you are, You are, You are! What a beautiful Pussy you are!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Pussy said to the Owl, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;You elegant fowl! How charmingly sweet you sing! O let us be married! too long we have tarried: But what shall we do for a ring?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; They sailed away, for a year and a day, To the land where the Bong-tree grows And there in a wood a Piggy-wig stood With a ring at the end of his nose, His nose, His nose, With a ring at the end of his nose. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Dear pig, are you willing to sell for one shilling Your ring?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Said the Piggy, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I will.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; So they took it away, and were married next day By the Turkey who lives on the hill. They dined on mince, and slices of quince, Which they ate with a runcible spoon; And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand, They danced by the light of the moon, The moon, The moon, They danced by the light of the moon.

‘What a wonderful sound she creates. Her highly developed technique of Arabic ﬂorid singing transplants itself beautifully into the ornamental balladic feel of ﬂamenco. Possessing a seamless purity of its own...’ (The Australian)

‘The songs are in a language called Ladino, all of the songs are passed down from generation to generation. No one ever wrote them down until my father, he preserved those songs, he stopped them from being lost – he went all over Israel with a big recording machine, I was one year and 7 months when he passed away – after recording so many people he wrote down the lyrics, and he wrote the songs down, before he passed away he published four books of romance and books of liturgic songs – my duty, my life is to spread them as much as I can. Ladino is a dying language and my generation no longer speak it and the only thing that will survive is those songs.’

‘I am in love with Australian audiences and the place. I have had no time to see everything, but everyone I meet is so enthusiastic – you are very lucky here, it’s a perfect place to live – maybe the reason why they come to listen to music, it’s beautiful and they come to listen to because they have no war.’

Yasmin Levy is modest with her success. ‘I have been talking about it for the past three days, I expected something but not that much – the reviewers, and people in the audiences are really enthusiastic.’ Yasmin is drawn to songs of pathos, they are the ones that she admits to feel more deeply in her performance. ‘I think there are many many funny and happy songs, I always personally go for the sad songs, this is where I feel more comfortable.’ Levy is continuing the story of a man she barely knew: her father. The songs she presents are Sephardic and cast back to Spanish origins when the Jews lived in Spain. In 1942 they were expelled and disappeared into the Ottoman and North African Empire. The songs are an oral tradition that exist and was in danger of

Perhaps Yasmin’s songs are infused with such otherworldly beauty because they are so deeply connected to her father. ‘It is everything for me, it’s not just beautiful to me, it’s my father, my history, my tradition, my mother taught me all those songs while I was cooking, and I brought those songs from the kitchen to the stage – this is the traditional way you don’t learn it in a class, you learn it in life,

‘I live in Jerusalem which is a melting pot. You can smell all the smells of all the food and all the music. It is the place that made me who I am. I am so much of everything. You go see a church then you see a synagogue and then a mosque. We give bad interpretation and everyone think he the best and everyone think he better and this is why I am against, it is important to corroborate – I have a mixture of musicians from different places and different religions. I am not going to change the world, but if I am going to, then this is the way, and it is with the music that I sing.’ Yasmin Levy and her 5-piece ensemble play their only non-capital city show at the Starcourt Theatre in Lismore on Thursday.

>>>Live MusiC... ... GET ON THE BUS

WHAT I WOULD DO IF I WAS YOU Don’t you hate it when people give unsolicited advice? All you need is a compassionate ear, but you end up with a smug and righteous tongue lashing. Childless women will tell you how to bring up your kids, vegans will suggest curing your cancer with a comfrey poultice and skinny bitches will share their diet tips. It’s so irritating you want to eat them. It all starts with that unassuming phrase: ‘What I would do if I was you...’ and ends in a diatribe of directives about how you should live your life. I’m like, if you’re so good at it, why don’t you live my life as well? Of course, it’s all done with the purest intention, to prove that you are a giant fuckwit incapable of making sensible wellinformed decisions. There is no greater joy than muttering ‘I told you so’ when your best friend’s husband turns out to be a serial killer. ‘I knew when you found a dismembered corpse in your front garden that he was trouble. But you wouldn’t listen. Post modern sculpture my arse.’ In pointing the ﬁnger I am alarmed to admit that in the realm of giving advice, I am

one of the worst offenders. Not only will I insist you listen to my well considered ramblings (I have always considered myself a big white Oprah without the chat show) I will place a few followup calls to check if you are on target with my mission statement for your life. In view of this, let me share my top ten: What I would do if I was you. 1. Drop him. If he won’t have a baby with you then he’s not ready to commit. Prick holes in a condom and procure the semen of an anonymous one night stand or go to a sperm bank. Men ﬁnd 38 year old women with children much less threatening than 38 year old women without children. 2. For god’s sake try internet dating. It’s sleazy and inappropriate, but then so is getting pissed in a bar and going home with your best friend’s husband, and you didn’t think twice about doing that. 3. Instead of giving up drinking try moderation. I was only joking. You’re an alcoholic. You only feel bad when you stop. Don’t stop. 4. If you run out of clean undies, then cut out the

gusset. It doubles as a post-it. 5. If you can’t change your man, then change men. 6. Take up yoga. Men dig serene chicks. 7. Get a colonic. You have to learn to deal with your shit. And if you can’t, pay someone who will. 8. Give yourself permission to shop. Buy something crazy and expensive that you don’t need, like a wheelchair. 9. Buy a bottle of red wine, put on Carol King and channel the angst of your life into the carpet. You don’t know pain until you have polyester pilling between your teeth. 10. Every Christmas miss out one of the kids. They’ll be traumatised, but bitter disappointment will help them become better people. Now you’re well on the way to living the life I think you deserve. I am actually considering quitting being a standup comedian so I can pursue my true calling: Life Coach. In the meantime I will continue to outsource all my major life decisions to the person who really does know best: my mother.

New Zealand electronic soul / funk / dub / hip hop outfit Rhombus are set to bring their unique and vibrant sound downunder later this month as part of their massive ‘Onwards 2008’ tour across New Zealand and Australia. With a reputation as one of New Zealand’s leading live bands, there is no doubt they will leave Aussie audiences gasping for more. Over the past six years, Rhombus has developed a strong following among international audiences for their eclectic, energetic and funky blend of music spliced together with socially conscious lyrics. Last year’s international release of Onwards: Remixes & Archives – a collection of remixes and unreleased tracks compiled from their archives and first two acclaimed and successful albums, Bass Player and Future Reference– was extremely well received across Australia, New Zealand and more recently Japan. For this second only tour to Australian shores, Rhombus’ ‘Onwards 2007’ show will feature the full 8 member lineup, ensuring that the eclectic yet cohesive sound Rhombus is known for will be on full display for the enjoyment of audiences across the country. They are joined by Tijuana Cartel, who after many sell-out performances have emerged as a popular live act due to their phenomenal diversity and somewhat intelligent and original sound as they bring flamenco and slide guitar, MCs, percussion,and scratch DJs to the live forum. The live performances are a concoction of multilayered grooves, splashes of Middle Eastern vocals, lilting Moby-esque soundscapes, Flamenco and slide guitar, electronic world beats and

The gig is balanced with Mihirangi, the woman who has been dubbed ‘the Kiwi sensation’ and ‘the Maori Princess of funk’. Mihirangi is a solo artist of contemporary originals and soulful world roots with a rare performance style. Creating her own band sound live in front of her audience using a loop pedal, the key to Mihirangi’s sound is the layering of her own vocal sounds. From the foundation of fat solid bass lines to intricately layered harmonies, rhythmic ‘ska’ chops, sensuous jazzy riffs and beat-boxing – it’s all done with her voice. Also a multi-instrumentalist Mihirangi plays percussion, guitar and traditional Maori instruments. Renowned for her distinctive vocal style with an extraordinary range of power, expression, vitality and intensity, Mihirangi possesses both feminine tenderness and grrrrl power. An activist and a dream weaver with a conﬁdence and credibility in her natural expression of stagecraft she is a performer who imaginatively reﬂects the moment. These three sensational acts perform at the Hotel Great Northern on Wednesday.

Mullumbimby Folk Club kicks off the beginning of its fourth year this Thursday when they welcome Lou Bradley to the stage as their feature act. Lou played a few months ago and blew everyone

away with her performance. Her authenticity and her vivaciousness is infectious, while her lyrics are poignant, hearfelt and real. From her roots in Sydney’s northern beaches to her home in the hills behind Mullumbimby Lou draws on her rich life experiences, and as a young mother of three those experiences are plentiful. After becoming the recipient of The John Butler Seed Grant, Lou’s career has had a decidely upward turn with supports for acts such as Troy Casar Daley and an Aria award nomination to boot. Her recently released album Love Someone has been produced by Rod McCormack and features Bill Chambers amongst other musical heavyweights contributing to create a disarmingly raw and heartfelt example of modern Australian storytelling. Lou brings a burst of originality and freshness to the stage, and this promises to be a very entertaining and touching performance. Chalkboard will be open from 7pm for any original songwriters who would like the opportunity to get up and perform a couple of songs. Old Drill Hall, doors open at 7.45pm, show starts at 8pm, tea, coffee and cakes available still only $5 entry.

palette of musical influences influences. Layer upon layer of sounds form an infectious style, which connects people through cultures. The power of The Idan Raichel Project’s music lies in the combination of ancient and modern with traditional instruments alongside guitars and electronica, live vocals and sampled sounds. Ethiopian songs, Arabic poetry, Yemenite chants, ancient Jewish psalms with rhythmic influences from the Caribbean and Africa

are weaved into a new and inspiring expression of modern music. Different traditions, different countries, different generations all come together offering a message of love and tolerance that resonates strongly in a world where headlines are dominated by conﬂict. Idan Raichel, the architect of this unique musical project is a musician, vocalist, composer and producer born in Israel of Eastern European Heritage. The Idan Raichel Project performs at the Bangalow A&I Hall on Thursday 6 March. Tickets: www. ticketmaster.com.au and also at local outlets: Santos in Mullum, The Byronian, Fairy Floss and Orgasmic Foods in Byron, Yami’s in Brunswick and The Urban in Bangalow.

training ground for Josh being around fellow professionals. ‘I would always surf everyday no matter what it was like.’ Josh has always lived close to the beach, which has made all of this possible. Like surfer turned musician Jack Johnson, Josh has also developed a musical career. He recorded his ﬁrst EP album in 2006 and continues to expand his track list. ‘I love constructing, writing lyrical rhymes and working on music everyday I can. I have always had a dream to be a singer/rapper but I never ever pursued the whole recording experience until 2005. I’m happy with the response people from around the world have given me on the streets and the internet.’ Josh performs at the Hotel Great Northern on Thursday with blues guitarist Jim Hamilton, folk duo, Enjun, Mark Ward on guitar and Darren Evans on drums. In a nutshell, its hip hop rap & rock.

GETTING PRAGMATIC AT THE BEACH The Mighty Pragmatics are back. They are fully rejuvenated after having had most of last year off, with separate members recording solo albums, touring both nationally and internationally, having kids, building houses and not doing what they do best… playing cranking funk. Back with Sal Yates, Sonia Leeson and Joa McClain on vocals, Al Tilsley guitar, Stuey B bass, Dan Brown keys, Ryan Squiers drums and Dave Ades and Stu Currie heavy weight horn section, The Prags are back to strip bare the dance ﬂoor at the Beachy this Friday.

BYPASS AT THE RAILS Old fellas who can still funk. Paul McCarthy and his mates put on the Hawaiian shirts and head to the Rails on Saturday. They have a new band member, Caroyln Cleaki a singer songwriter who is keen to get in there and jam it up with the boys.

BLACK SWANS OF TRESPASS The Black Swans of Trespass is the original project of banjo player CC Thornley, a hugely versatile writer and charismatic performer. The music of the BSoT is a rebellious type of alternative country. The iconoclastic approach of the band has raised the ire of both the jazz and bluegrass police, mainly due to the ‘why didn’t we think of that before’ factor. The BSoT effortlessly fuses reggae, bluegrass, blues, funk and jazz with a minimal rootsbased orchestration, and yes, including the banjo. Think Tom Waits with Bela Fleck with Manu Chao. The Black Swans of Trespass, at the Rails on Thursday.

FRANKIE MY DEAR The Frankie Band return to the Beach Hotel fresh from their Melbourne tour. The boys have had excellent fun and personally couldn’t think of a better homecoming than warming the boards up at the Top Pub. They play Thursday night.

Mullumbimby band Broadfoot say a big thanks to Bruns Public School for keeping the show on road by lending US flautist, Pete Fries (Freezy) one of their flutes over the last couple of weeks. Freezy, whose hometown river in Ohio was so polluted during the 70s that it caught fire, joined Broadfoot for gigs at the Rails and Lennox Point Hotel. Unfortunately Broadfoot will be without flute in the immediate future as Freezy honours touring commitments in Paris and Copenhagen. The good news is that Broadfoot are now playing Bo’s restaurant in Byron each Thursday evening. Good news for fans but even better news for the band – regular food once a week.

<<< <<<CU <CULT LTUURE RE>>> >>> FILM FILM FEST OFFERS YOU THE BEST The third annual Byron Bay Film Festival celebrates the enormity and diversity of narratives in their screeening of over 150 films from 34 countries. With 30 sessions screening at all times of the day for the 8 days of the festival, beginning on Friday night and finishing on Saturday 8 March with an Awards Ceremony and big Closing Night Party, there is something for absolutely everyone. Festival Director Jaimee Skippon-Volke and the festival team scoured over 800 entries from around the world to secure the best selection of films to inspire and entertain.

Thursday March 6 at 10.30am has the Australian premiere of Mr Conservative: Goldwater on Goldwater, an incredible documentary about the fascinating US Senator Barry Goldwater made by his granddaughter – a man who helped define an era of US conservatism and yet supported gay rights and abortion. For the environmentally minded film-goers, Monday evening March 3 is the Australian premiere of Saving Luna, an incredible film about the struggle to save a lost baby Orca (killer whale). Monday night also sees the a screening of local filmmaker Dean Jeffrey’s documentary Peace at Shoalwater Bay 2007.

Being as it is held in Byron Bay, BBFF08 has three featurelength surf films making their Australian premiere; Down the Barrel which looks at surfing as part sport and part spiritual self-expression, Taking Back the Waves looks at how surfing changed Aparthied in South Africa, and Sliding Liberia follows the search for perfect waves in the war torn West African nation of Liberia.

Also on Monday evening is the world premiere of Ngali Na Mala Jugun, a ﬁlm about Wollumbin and many other sacred sites in Bundjalung country.

BBFF08 is also proud to have the world premiere Benjamin Safari’s documentary surf ﬁlm Byron Tales screening from 7pm Thursday evening March 6, which takes a comparative look at surﬁng in Byron Bay in the 1960’s and in 2007.

Check out the full program at www.bbff.com.au

On Wednesday March 5, the 7pm session focuses of Tibet with a couple of Australian premieres, Yoga Noga Reyoga and Fate of Lhapa, as well as the world premiere of Year of the Underdog, a ﬁlm about 23 Tibetians cycling across India in the leadup to the Beijing Olympics to focus the world’s attention on issues of Tibetian independence.

Saturday features a screening of the world premiere of The Outback Eclipse Story, a ﬁlm that documents the 2002 total solar eclipse and the music festival that was staged in South Australia.

FILM PREMIERE: ARE YOU SICK OR JUST LAZY? A new ﬁlm asks: is Motivational Deﬁciency Disorder a ‘real’ disease or is Big Pharma turning us all into patients?

Films about social justice and politics are also a feature of BBFF08.

In the film, The New Epidemic the disorder’s symptoms are said to range from mild sensations of being trapped on the couch to ‘the most severe cases where sufferers lose the motivation to breathe’ according to Professor Leth Argos who helped develop Strivor®, the drug used to treat the disease. Amanda Morrison, who is also interviewed in the film, claims that she suffers from Motivational Deficiency Disorder and describes a time when she was at her lowest ebb, ‘I lost my job, the bank came to take my house and my family just gave up on me.’ However, Ray Moynihan, co-author of Selling Sickness says that ‘the corporate sponsored creation of disease is classic technique used by Big Pharma to expand their market to include healthy people.…’

The 7pm session of Tuesday March 4 sees the Australian premiere of Choose Connor, a ﬁlm about a promising young 15-year-old becoming exposed to the dirty side of world politics.

The New Epidemic, produced by local ﬁlmmakers Miranda Burne and Ray Moynihan will be showing during the local session of the BBFF on Saturday March 8 at 10:30am.

Midday on Monday March 3 also has a couple of Australian premiere films about spirit; Through the Eastern Gate is a Swiss-made film following three westerner’s spiritual quest with Eastern spiritual traditions, while The Dalai Llama’s Cat is a film about two friends who travel across Tibet to Mount Kailash – filmmaker Michael Boswell will be at the screening.

READ MORE INFO ON THE BYRON BAY FILM FESTIVAL ON PAGES 28 + 29 COMEDY MS GANDHI AT THE RSL The country’s funniest most Easterly Indian returns to The Big stage when she fronts The Big Gig at the Ballina RSL next week. The comic has been carefully selecting her most satirical sari and is bound to have a swag of advice for the audience, whether they think it’s good for them or not. The night features a headline performance by Jimbo and MC Ellen Briggs. Thursday from 8pm and it’s free.

MANDY DOES MELBOURNE I have finally done it – I have committed to leaving the family behind and doing a 2 week season at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. It was a buzz to find out I’d scored a festival managed venue, and a bit of a chuckle to find out it is called The Carpet Room at The Forum and has only 30 seats. To give my one hour

show a run before I hit the Festival I am performing it at the Byron Services Club Pandanus Room on Monday 17 March at 8pm. I am being supported by MC Ellen Briggs and my old mate singer and satirist, Divishti. It’s just $15 and tickets are available now. Bookings on 6684 3443 or at the club.

ART FEHVA VIDEO The FEHVA Video Art prize provides an exhibition opportunity for artists, students and new media filmmakers, giving them a chance to screen their films in a unique festival environment at the Bangalow A & I Hall. The Video Art 2008 prize, sponsored by artciné (www. artcine.com.au) will be an award valued at $500 with trophy. The official launch of the 2008 Prize will be held at the Waywood Gallery on Thursday March 6 (after 6.30pm). Some video art projections, giving all an opportunity to view all the selected entries from the FEHVA Video Art Prize 2007 including the winning entry, Play Dead, will be shown on the night. Entry forms will be available in the Gallery on the night but are also posted on FEHVA website for downloading.

FORD RETURNS Ken Ford has returned to the Northern Rivers after 10 years of travel with his Journeyman Artist project. His ﬁrst solo show in two years will be in the Theatre Gallery (upstairs) and in the foyer during the month of March. Ford is known for his ceramics, works on paper, printmaking, photography and his mixed media. Ford will kick off an ongoing exhibition program to be held at the BCCC. Please come and meet the artist and his new paintings on Tuesday February 26 at 6pm. The show will be available for lunchtime viewings through March.

WRITERS @ THE RAILS The Writers at the Rails will return for their ﬁrst seasonal show of the year on Sunday. The featured performers are Canadian-born poet/ ﬁlmmaker Stefanie Petrik, who also manages Brisbane’s ‘Contraverse’ performance/ readings, and well known local performance poet Frank Coorey, who often reads from his laptop, and will have musical assistance from Slim Pickens. The afternoon show will also feature open readings and the ever-popular $100 Poetry Slam.

#&"54 / #014 DJVOX Instigator David Colkett cocreated DJVOX with a bunch of DJs including Bob Sinclair, James Zabiela and Lindstrom, to name a few. David felt there was a need for a web portal that caters for the global dance music community, a website easy to navigate for DJs, producers and clubbers. The site features an international mob of columnists relaying what’s on in their corner of the world, hence creating a potentially very interesting read. DJVOX encourages everyone’s input to suit the global dance enthusiasts. I had a chat to Chryss Carr who, as a PR agent has taken DJVOX under her wing. Q: What is your involvement with DJVOX? A: DJVOX contacted me as their PR agent due to the fact that I have a long music industry PR background AND was based in Byron Bay which they view as being an extremely rich dance music hub in the Southern Hemisphere. I was one of the ﬁrst record company promoters to break dance music through onto commercial radio; in fact I played a highly instrumental role in cracking Massive Attack in this country. I am helping them spread the word internationally, providing marketing skills and also gathering feedback from DJ’s to ensure the site is serving the dance music communities’ needs. Q: How do you see DJVOX being of beneﬁt to the Byron DJ-community? A: ‘Byron is rich with dance music talent, and therefore DJVOX provides a powerful avenue the community can take to gain recognition outside of Byron and Australia and simultaneously keep it in touch with the OS scene. It can also be seen as a great international communication/ marketing tool for our DJ’s here as the site allows them to post blogs/homepages so they can promote gigs, releases etc. They can also upload MP3’s for the world to play.’ Check for yourself at www. djvox.com

DJ FOXXY

STRIVOR – THE DRUG FOR MOTIVATIONAL DEFICIENCY DISORDER

Q: Foxxy, what made you take up DJ-ing? A: ‘Not long after I moved from Sydney to Byron I went to a bush party where Nick (Taylor) was playing and I pretty much had an epiphany and felt like he was playing just for me. Up until that night house music was fairly unchartered territory for me. Half a year later, it seemed like a natural progression to play music myself.’ STEFANIE PETRIK AT WRITERS AT THE RAILS ON SUNDAY

HOTEL GREAT NORTHERN LAST SATURDAY

Q: Producers that rocked your box of late?

with Jackie Onassid

A: ‘The Rapture, Switch, Zombie Nation, Slot Machine, CSS, Alex Gopher, Chromeo, SMD, Elite Force to name a few...’ Q: You have visited DJVOX on-line, do you think it is of benefit to Byron Bay’s DJs/ producers? A: ‘DJVOX is a great meeting place for artists from all genres, a fantastic way of exchanging ideas and keeping up with what’s happening globally on the music scene!’ Q: Do you dance less since you’ve become a DJ yourself? A: ‘Unfortunately I do dance less not only because I’m spoiled for music but also because it’s hard to find a venue or an event in this area with a good dance floor that caters to my taste in regards to the DJ lineup and the setting.’ Q: What do you enjoy about a DJ when listening or dancing? A: ‘The most important thing is the songs a DJ plays and in which order. Mixing plays a big part; however you can be a master at mixing and crossfading but you won’t see me on the dance floor if your tracks don’t make me want to shake my hips!’ Q: Where can we hear you spinning? A: ‘I have a weekly residency upstairs at Cocomangas and will fill in for Rock Hardson at La-La Land on Sundays while he’s away. I’m going overseas in April, but am booked to play at the next Castle party in Bellingen, May 17th.’ www. myspace.com/djfoxxy P.M.T. and Goa DJ Luke Psywalker plays this Saturday 10.30pm for the Byron Film Festival at the Community Centre in conjunction with a film documenting the Post Military Trip so many Israeli youngsters undertake after doing their time at ‘boot-camp’. Goa acts as a pressure valve and has become a holiday destination for Israeli ‘Trancers’ over the last two decades. The Great Northern, Wednesday 27 and Mista Micha’s Master Peace Productions bring us the deadly lineup of Rhombus, Mihirangi and Tijuana Cartel plus DJs Koa & Choice 1. This night might just console anyone who got disappointed about Tanya Stephens’ cancellation of her OZ tour. The Underground Duo Elscorcho and Magoo are delivering, as they do every Friday at the Winsome, cewl new tracks that will make you try out that silver pole at the edge of the dance-floor, and if you’re lucky you might see some truly underground poledancing!

FEEEEEELINGS… EVERYONE HAS THEM AND THIS WEEK WE HEAR ALL ABOUT THEM AS ASTRAL ENERGIES DIVE FROM THE AQUARIAN EMPIRE OF IDEAS INTO THE PISCEAN OCEAN OF EMOTION. THIS CHANGEABLE WEEK ISN’T LIKELY TO RESPOND TO REASON OR LOGIC – WE NEED TO FEEL OUR WAY THROUGH IT… ARIES: If your planetary ruler Mars in Gemini brings a choice between two directions this week let your instincts advise you which course to take, because right now they’re spot on. Trust your intuition

At the end of February every year, around 10 million female monarch butterflies depart from the mountains near Morelia in Mexico and begin their journeys back towards the USA and Canada. At the same time, eight male grandmasters will begin their annual flight from Morelia back to Linares, Spain, to complete the second half of the only super-tournament split between two continents. The Morelia-Linares tournament, also known as the Wimbledon of chess, has as usual attracted a truly elite field, with teenage superstar Magnus Carlsen, the world number 13, being the lowest ranked player. In its first 22 editions, held in Linares only, the tournament became famous both for the dominance of Garry Kasparov and for the caution shown by the competitors, with draws outnumbering wins sometimes by a margin of four to one.

change and evolve as they need to, rather than staying the same and dying. VIRGO: This fertile week waters your Virgo earth, providing the ideal climate for a personal growth spurt – for deepening intimate connections and reacquainting yourself with dreams and aspirations you haven’t given much attention to lately. If postponed plans tug at your attention, follow their promptings. LIBRA: If you can get your head around its inconsistencies, let minor irritations slide and keep tuning in to your own subtle impulses, you’ll really enjoy the ﬂirting, artistic improvisations and stimulating ﬂashes of inspiration which enrich this highly intuitive week. SCORPIO: This week’s a bit of a mystery dance, but then a little dose of hocus pocus always keeps you on your toes. There’ll be some quite magical possibilities, some exciting surprises – and you’re the sign who could make the most out of this week’s witchy synchronicities.

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

However, since Linares joined with Morelia in 2006 after Kasparov’s retirement, the excitement level has increased dramatically. Players have repeatedly expressed their fondness for Morelia, a World Heritage listed city, and its beautiful surrounds over the industrial town of Linares. (Viswanathan Anand once went so far as to refuse his invitation to the world’s most exclusive tournament on the grounds that he had no desire to visit Linares yet another time.) Such was the fighting spirit in Morelia/Linares 2008 that after just five rounds no player had escaped defeat, an unprecedented occurrence in a top level tournament. As expected, World Champion Anand has taken the early lead, his new risk-taking style with the black pieces paying

dividends with three wins. As the tournament reaches its halfway stage, Anand is trying to put some distance between himself and a chasing pack which includes Anand’s second round conqueror Levon Aronian, Carlsen and former World Champion Veselin Topalov, who is trying to pull out of a mid-tournament slump including a heavy defeat to Carlsen. Morelia 2008 White: V Anand Black: L Aronian Opening: Ruy Lopez 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 a6 4.Ba4 Nf6 5.0-0 Be7 6.Re1 b5 7.Bb3 0-0 8.c3 d5 9.exd5 Nxd5 10.Nxe5 Nxe5 11.Rxe5 c6 12.Re1 Bd6 13.g3!?

SAGITTARIUS: This week’s rife with assumptions, so get your facts straight before you act. Try not to let impatience get the better of commonsense or over react just to get someone off your back. A lot of things aren’t at all what they seem right now. CAPRICORN: Even Capricorns won’t be able to impose order on this week’s events, which aren’t inclined to follow the straight line you’d like. But a curvy, serpentine kind of progress is possible – relax into it and you might be pleasantly surprised. AQUARIUS: With Venus and Mercury in Aquarius, expect thrilling insights, great inspirations, extravagant offers and unusual people with exciting plans of action – but you’ll need to listen carefully to your inner voice. Then get reality checks from experienced outer voices before proceeding… PISCES: With this week’s planetary emphasis in air and water, nothing feels solid. Discipline’s difficult too, which doesn’t help. If you feel you’re heading towards the deep end, don’t panic and flap about – stay buoyant by relaxing and floating. This is the transit of amazing realizations.

even if it goes against what seems sensible. TAURUS: This airy, watery, all talk, no follow through week could be challenging for fixed signs like yourself. If stable arrangements start slipping and sliding, changing and rearranging, then focus on the people, activities and attitudes that bring you the most joy and harmony. GEMINI: As the zodiac’s chameleons, you’ll be the least fazed by and the most able to take advantage of this week’s changeable nature.

Television Guide 1. Sean Micallef is back for another ten episodes of Newstopia (SBS, Wednesday 10pm). Our television has nothing approaching the sure satirical touch of the American Comedy Channel’s Jon Stewart or Stephen Colbert, but if any Australian is in their league it would be Micallef. 2. Rachel Weisz and Ralph Fiennes star in the screen adaptation of John Le Carré’s novel The Constant Gardener (Ten, Sunday, 9.15pm). The subject is a worthy one – the repulsive business practices of big pharmaceutical companies – but the ﬁlm lacks the force of the book. The ABC has aborted its season of classic movies for insomniacs at 4.30 in the morning in favour of ancient episodes of Parkinson. That leaves ﬁlm fanatics with only the late night SBS offerings, best of which this week include The Moustache from France (Wednesday, 10.30pm) and the Spanish Kill Me Tender (Friday 11.05pm).

>>>CINEM A... HEARTLINES European productions occasionally come along to interrupt our steady diet of Anglophone movies, but we rarely get to see cinema from places such as South Africa. More’s the pity, if Angus Gibson’s wonderful Heartlines is anything to go by. The story starts with a ﬂashback. In a black township, Father Jacob is preaching to his ﬂock when, outside, his brother Elias is gunned down in a gangland execution. Four years later, Jacob has moved to a more salubrious diocese with a predominantly white congregation. To them he reads from Corinthians, ‘if I have all the faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.’ The words are prophetic, for it is Jacob himself who will be sorely tested in his attempt to live by the demanding simplicity of their message. A former boxer, Jacob commits to helping Manyisa,

an embittered young man who is newly released from prison after serving a sentence for car theft. Jacob takes him into his home and sets him up with work in an auto repair shop, but Manyisa still has issues with Bra Stone, the heavy who runs the rackets in town and to whom he owes money. It is also believed by the police that Manyisa was implicated in the murder of Elias. There is a refreshingly unequivocal (and perhaps biblical) idea that Manyisa, the lost sheep, must choose one of the clearly marked roads of benevolence or malevolence. Among the cast there are no household names, but none fail to impress. Mduduzi Mabaso is outstanding as the troubled Manyisa (he reminded me of Anthony Mundine), while Mpho Joseph Molepo and the beautiful S’thandiwe Kgorogh exude kindness and forbearance as Jacob and his wife Thando. Child

actors can potentially wreck the best laid plans, but Thabo Tshabalala shines as Jacob’s son Sbu, who plays soccer with Manyisa and shows him the stars through his telescope. The incident that unexpectedly harms Sbu and leads to Manyisa’s most critical moment of self examination is harrowing and profoundly moving. A stirring ﬁlm of redemption, forgiveness and hope, it has a restorative quality that is a product of the unwavering moral sensibility that guides it. Heartlines will screen at 7pm, March 2, at the Community Centre as part of the Byron Bay Film Festival and, if for no other reason, you should not miss it just for the glorious singing of the Modderbee Offenders’ Choir at the end. ~ John Campbell

THE BUCKET LIST Jack Nicholson has become a much more interesting actor in the latter stages of his career. His balding, rotund maturity has belatedly encouraged him to distance himself from the rude-is-hip stance that, for better or worse, is still adored by his camp followers. As Edward Cole, billionaire hospital magnate, there are flashes of insensitivity, as when he dismisses his assistant with ‘nobody cares what you think,’ but even that is not quite laced with the nastiness of the past. Morgan Freeman is an old friend to the audience and (as in Million Dollar Baby) a reliable confidante when doing voiceover, having a bankable knack for sounding like he is talking personally to you. As Carter, a mechanic and self taught polymath, he finds himself in the bed next to Cole. The two are like chalk and cheese, but they have one thing in common – they are FULLY AIR-CONDITIONED EVERY WEDNESDAY ALL SEATS ALL SESSIONS $8 ONLY

both dying of cancer. It must be said that, to anybody who has had the heartbreaking experience of knowing somebody cut down by the disease, neither sufferer looks particularly ill (Cole appears positively robust), but that sort of maudlin realism is not what this is about. Time is passing, ‘like smoke through a keyhole,’ as Cole so eloquently puts it, and the men resolve to tick off a list of things to do before they kick the bucket. Director Rob Reiner, who has explored friendship before in his classic Stand By Me, gets the very best out of his veterans. Not without taking time about it though, for he understands that the journey upon which they will embark is not one for mere acquaintances, so a believable bond is forged in the long preamble of the hospital scenes before they hit the road. Their adventures give the story its visual impetus – a hilarious parachute jump, a conversation atop one of the pyramids, a walk around the Taj Mahal – while all the time their unlikely partnership is leading them to an understanding and acceptance of their own mortality. Reiner’s deft handling of his subject includes gentle irreverence, with the beaut ‘I love the smell of chemo in the morning,’ and some blokey ribaldry, as Cole warns Carter that, at their age, ‘you can never trust a fart.’ A simple but cleverly conceived sleight of hand concerning Freeman’s narration at the beginning of the movie allows for an unforeseen ending. This is a lovely movie, life afﬁrming and wise. ~ John Campbell Byron Bay Cookie Company presents

I’M NOT HERE I’m Not Here, directed by Todd Haynes (Far From Heaven) delivers this dazzling, experimental take on the life of popular music’s most revered and enigmatic artist: Bob Dylan. In keeping with the impossible-topin-down nature of Dylan himself, Haynes chose to cast six different actors to portray several incarnations of the groundbreaking troubadour. The result is a challenging, sprawling work that spans several decades and genres. Even in the

film’s most surreal moments, there’s an internal logic that keeps the viewer keyed in to where Haynes is taking you. With six actors on hand as Dylan, you might expect I’m Not There to unfold in six standalone vignettes. But you’d be wrong; instead, Haynes allows the different scenarios to flow in and out of one another. ‘Ultimately, the highest compliment you can pay Haynes is that he’s made a movie that looks, sounds and feels just like a great Bob Dylan song.’ ~ Ethan Alter filmjournal.com

Victoria Cosford It was absolutely worth the wait. With what passed for summer on its way out, with the departure of the madding crowds (perhaps the maddened crowds this season), I felt I could safely dine at the Clarkes Beach eatery, the Byron Beach Cafe. I wanted dinner there too, so as the dusk deepened Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be able to eat and drink while the waves rolled in, rolled out, in a way both soothing and uplifting at the same time. Out on the deck we sat eating ďŹ g and goatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cheese salad and ďŹ sh and spatchcock, each plate a joyous riot of colour and ďŹ&#x201A;avour, and I was conscious of experiencing one of those rare clutches of sharp, pure happiness. What, however, struck me later was the recognition that this place was making no effort to be slick (although the prices could be deemed so... ); that, on the contrary, it was retaining its character as a beach cafe. The wooden slatted tables are undressed and unlaid save for a cute wooden box containing paper napkins and cutlery, the staff friendly and casual without sacriďŹ cing deference. The menu is a litany of contemporary favourites â&#x20AC;&#x201C; safe without being boring â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with an emphasis on local and seasonal. And not a foam in sight. This is a cafe which so easily could have been made slick. As much as I love the theatre of dining out, slickness is not what I always want. Australians are gradually becoming accustomed to the notion of the whole restaurant culture, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a relatively new thing, unlike most of the rest of the world where the fact of public eating is entrenched in ordinary everyday life, part of the traditional fabric and not necessarily to do with special occasions or celebrations. The ever-increasing popularity of cafes, for example, gestures to our growing acceptance of dining out as a social outlet â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all the better if the food is good. At the hairdressersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; one recent Saturday I overheard a young man being coiffed remark, in answer to the

question â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;What are you doing tonight?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;, that he and his friends were going to the bowlo for dinner, where both food and prices were fair; he then went on to say that he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;get the restaurant thingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. The point is, not everybody cares about food to the passionate degree that many food writers and restaurant reviewers seem to think. There are scores of people quite content with an unremarkable experience because it still constitutes a night out and a meal cooked by someone else: the food is more the background to their getting together. Not everyone has tasted morcilla or knows what an amuse gueule is or has heard of Hester Blumenthal. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to forget â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and I am periodically ashamed of the loftiness of my expectations and my hypercritical attitudes. I remember once my mother producing with excitement a bottle of wine by a company called simply Browns, confusing it with one of the wellknown Brown Brothersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; varieties: it was one of those moments when I loathed my sophistication, when I became aware of some sweet ignorance I had replaced with a brittle, sneering sort of superiority. This attitude is an inbuilt part of the architecture, the trimmings and the trappings, the ďŹ ttings and the ďŹ t-outs of many slick restaurants, where cool serving staff present show-offy dishes composed of up-to-the-minute ingredients. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not for a minute suggesting we should accept mediocrity; on the contrary, in a region rife with it as far as restaurants are concerned I consider it the duty of all owners, chefs and managers to beware of complacency, vastly inďŹ&#x201A;ated prices for undeserving meals and arrogant, indifferent service, and to always try to do their best. There is, however, a valid place for unglamorous dining rooms, for surf clubs and to be sure for clubs in general, for suburban Chinese restaurants where â&#x20AC;&#x201C; look around and see â&#x20AC;&#x201C; everyone is having fun.

An amuse-bouche, also called an amusegueule, is a tiny bite-sized morsel served before the hors dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Ĺ&#x201C;uvre or ďŹ rst course of a meal. These, often accompanied by a proper complementing wine, are served as an excitement of taste buds to both prepare the guest for the meal and to offer a glimpse into the chefâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s approach to cooking. (Wikipedia)

This Saturday 1 March sees a fabulous day of food, wine and jazz at the Commonwealth Park in Canberra. Entitled Jazz In The Vines, it kicks off at 2pm, continuing through to around 10 pm, with a whole host of local wineries on site with their wines for sale.

Sports Roundup with Eve Jeffery

A shoe by any other name is still a runner Eve Jeffery When I was a kid I wanted a pair of adidas runners. We called them runners. Not joggers or sneakers. We didn’t jog in them.We didn’t sneak in them. We ran. Runners. Every kid I knew wanted a pair of adidas runners. Back in those days we just called them adidas – that is addy-das. These days they are known as ah-DEE-dus. What. When did that happen? What a load of crap. The bloke who invented the shoes was a German called Adolf ‘Adi’ Dassler. It wasn’t until later that he changed the spelling of his ﬁrst name to Adolph so as not to be associated with another famous German of the time. Adi Dassler chopped up his name, registered it in a lower case font and adidas was born, those three little stripes becoming synonymous with athletics, soccer and a bunch of other sports. Curiously, Adi’s brother Rudolph ‘Rudi’ Dassler with whom he started the monolithic company, went on to become the founder of adidas’s greatest rival: Puma. Anyway getting back to my feet – up until I was ten years old I had always worn DunlopVolleys – actually methinks it was the Clarke Rubber rip -off of the Volley that in reality I wore, but still a little white canvas and rubber shoe for running in.

Once a week or so I would get out the little pot of whitening stuff that came with its own little sponge on the end of a stick and diligently rewhitened my runners. Oh I loved white runners. When I eventually graduated to real Volley’s (probably when I was old enough to notice the difference), I would go through whitener by the gallon. I never had a moment’s trouble with my Volley’s. I could outrun anyone I knew and even when the old pair was too tight and the new pair too loose, I still managed to go pretty fast. It must have seemed like I was running somewhere because when I was in the under 11s, the week before the start of the athletic season, I was taken on a Satur-

day morning to a tiny sports store in Hampton Street. A real actual sports store that catered only for sport. I didn’t believe such a thing existed. It was a sweet rubbery-leathery smelling wonderland full of bats and balls and racquets and runners. Millions of runners. Well probably not millions but I was a short ten year old and the stacks looked big. The fellow at the store greeted us with a magical box. A magical navy blue box with the unmistakeable diagonal stripes across it. Could it be? I sat on the ﬁtting bench and when he lifted the lid, he pulled out a pair of size 13 adidas runners. The dark navy canvas slashed with the gleamingest white motif. I

was awestruck. When almost reverently he put them on my little tootsies, I thought I would explode. They were wafer light. So light America’s Next Top Model could eat three square pair a day and still look anorexic. My feet felt almost bare. Nirvana. The offering of $26 was deposited on the altar and the shoe meister smiled benevolently as we departed the chapel. Now twenty-six dollars might not seem like much, but 34 years ago, it was a lot of money to spend on the fourth child’s Saturday morning feet. Not a ﬁgure to be sneezed at or lost at the racetrack. Speaking of the track, the day after I got my new run-

ners our club was having a pre-season-warm-up-bonding have we got enough members to run the club this year, fun day at the home the Melbourne Racing Club, Caulfield Racecourse. We all met at the gates of ‘The Heath’ at the required time, and the bloke in muck covered riding boots let us in and onto the course. It was a beautiful spring day. The sun was shining after a night of heavy rain and it was fresh and warm all at the same time. It didn’t take long for us to work out why the gate keeper’s boots were all covered in muck, and it took less time for us to realise that the special training session devised by our coach was basically once around the track. 2080 metres of mud.Yik! By the time I had made it to the finishing line my brand spanking new adidas were simply the bottom bit of my thigh to toe ‘monster from the blah lagoon’ costume. I took them off in disgust and in a hissy huff threw them in my sports bag. So I thought. When I arrived home, still a little cranky miss, I opened the bag to clean the unholy nonwhite mess and was shocked to see that only one of the little monsters had made it home.

My kingdom for some whitener! Nothing beats the Dunlop Volleys. Photo Tree Faerie (I need to get a life)

in charge people, and tell them that one has lost one half of one’s brand new very expensive athletic footwear? One doesn’t remember the actual telling. One does remember the fallout being almost nil. In hindsight, one suspects that the look on one’s face was enough to convince the said adult humans that the loss of the item was punishment enough. We did make the trip back to Caulﬁeld but an hour long search turned up nothing and next Saturday at the opening of the season I was wearing sparkling white Volleys that I had dug out of the depths of my wardrobe and painted yet again. I still won my race but I would have done it faster in the adidas. Or not. Sometime during that season a brand spanking new pair of generic running shoes appeared on the kitchen bench one Saturday morning. Nothing was said as the adult human folk scrambled the eggs, but the runner faerie had obviously paid a visit. The blue wasn’t quite as navy and there were only two stripes, but they were wafer thin and methinks America’s Next Top Model could still have downed a couple without gaining a gram.

Sports Roundup with Eve Jeffery Film trio a must for surfers

NSW Country Rugby Union The ﬁrst game of the NSW Country Rugby Union Championship for 2008 is being played this Saturday at 5.30 pm at the Byron Bay Recreation Ground, when Far North Coast plays Western Plains. The Country Championships have developed from Country Week when country teams used to descend on Sydney during the Royal Easter Show. Things have changed and the Championship games now are spread all across the State.

Surfing feast at the Byron Bay Film Festival – www.bbff.com.au – Scenes from ‘Down The Barrel’ (above), and ‘Taking Back The Waves’ (below).

The Byron Bay Film Festival is doing its best to cater for everyone during the coming event. One of the ingredients in this ecletic blend is the Australian Premieres of three outstanding surf films. Thursday March 6 the festival will present ‘Down The Barrel’ which expresses surfing as part sport, part stateof-mind; an avenue for selfexpression, a metaphor for freedom; a ritual, a competitive event, a dangerous journey, and a dance. With nature supplying the power and given the proper balance of respect and resistance, surfers can enjoy the ride. From the North Shore of Oahu to the end of the road in Tahiti. From Australia to California, from Florida to France, the world’s greatest surfers share their insights, and show us how and why it’s done. Their skill and the thrill of the experience, are captured as never before. The secret to surfing’s global appeal is revealed by surfing greats Kelly Slater, Rob Machado, Kalani Robb and Joel Parkinson, in their own voices. This is a film anyone can enjoy. The two other new films will be shown at a screening on Friday March 7. The first, ‘Sliding Liberia’

is a story of war, peace and surfing as four surfers travel through the war-torn West African nation of Liberia in search of the perfect wave. They are forced to realize that Liberia is not a typical surfing destination. With the recent war written in the landscape, the group must face the everyday realities of life in a post-conflict world, where security is never taken for granted. The search for waves becomes a quest for understanding and the surfers record the stories of Liberians they meet along the journey, people like Alfred, who became Liberia’s first surfer after finding a bodyboard when fleeing from rebels. At first overwhelmed, they ultimately reconcile the simple pleasure of surfing with the violent history and daily challenges faced by the Liberian people. The second film of the screening is entitled ‘Taking Back The Waves’. It tells the story of Cass Collier and his family who were classified ‘coloured’ by South Africa’s apartheid system. Cass’s father Ahmed fought racial restrictions to take his family to the beach,

and teach his children to surf. Young Cass became a strong competitor and Ahmed helped him to go on the world professional surfing tour. Ahmed hopes that his son will become a champion, a black champion. When Cass returned to South Africa things were changing rapidly. Apartheid was officially dead and the beaches were open to everyone. After connecting with Cape Town surfer Ian Armstrong the two grow their hair into dreadlocks and push their limits in big waves. From different backgrounds the two forge a surfing path together, culminating in selection to represent South Africa at the World Big Wave Championships in Mexico in 1999. They emerge victorious, with the World Team title. Ahmed’s wish has come true, his son is a champion, a big wave champion but there is little recognition of their success. There will be a sprinkling of short films along with both of these screenings with each session presenting over two hours of great surfing action, so go and have way too much fun – you kow you want to.

Western Plains is the large area west of Dubbo. They won the Richardson Country Championship Shield in 2007 and have a strong squad. Zone President Tony Heeson, is confident that the Presidents XV will put up a good showing in the preliminary game at 4.00 pm, The Macadamia Cup, which will be played against a combined Village Competition team. It will be a great afternoon followed by a reception at the Great Northern Hotel.

Brunswick Boardriders Club had their sign on and first monthly comp for the year last Sunday. The day started with a great turnout of competitors, but average surf conditions made it slim pickings for waves. The results for the comp are in the Men’s Fleas; 1st David Logan, 2nd Jaden Thackery.

FARMERS' MARKET INC.

The speed and efficiency with which Byron Shire Council moved to acquire the Telstra site in Mullum caught many residents by surprise, including our local government commentator. The successful bid of $461,000 – not the $800,000 real estate agent Cr Jan Mangleson suggested it would cost – drew a rapturous response on the day, but no doubt other ratepayers, particularly those in the north of the Shire, will put up alternative ideas as to where the money could have been spent. Q Q Q Q It’s happening again. The dates are set for the council election on September 27. Rolls close Monday August 18, and nomination of candidates closes August 27. See more online at www. byron.nsw.gov.au/Council/ Elections.aspx. Thanks to a referendum at the last election, this year we vote for only nine councillors instead of ten, which will do away with the use of the controversial mayoral casting vote, unless of course only eight or six councillors are present at a meeting. Expect an outbreak of environmentally sustainable sentiments over the coming months from aspirants to a career in the House of Pain. Q Q Q Q The cops got involved with the latest bomb explosion in a Mullum public toilet, since someone almost got himself killed. It seems the young male brain cannot discern the line where larrikinism crosses over into violence and suffering. It would help if parents would advise their youngsters that home-made bombs can result in the loss of eyes and limbs, not to mention the cost to public conveniences. Q Q Q Q
