An evening of escape from orthodox thought

Celebrate diversity on Harmony Day

The Northern Rivers Writers’ Centre recently announced it was thrilled to be hosting an evening with the matriach of modern feminism, Germaine Greer, at the Byron Bay Community and Cultural Centre on Tuesday March 18. The Australian writer and journalist is UK based but will be in the region presenting Shakespeare’s Wife: an evening with Germaine Greer. Ms Greer gained her PhD from Cambridge University with a thesis on Shakespeare’s early comedies,

Byron Harmony Day, a clebration of multiculturalism, will be held this Saturday at Railway Park and at the Byron Bay Community Cultural Centre from 12 noon to 10pm. ‘Byron Harmony Day will feature many of our local ethnic communities sharing their own cultural riches – dances, food, music,

poetry, martial arts and visual arts will be presented by local people of culturally diverse backgrounds such as Aboriginal, African, Indonesian, Spanish, Thai, Japanese, Greek, Irish, Scottish, Latin American, Chinese, Ukranian, Armenian, Indian, German, Islander, Afro-Brazilian, Mexican, French and Israeli,’ say organisers.

‘It’s an occasion for feasting and celebration, of people coming together.The Byron Harmony Day Festival aims to be a day of great rejoicing and fun. ‘How many of us are aware that in Mullumbimby there are over 28 nationalities represented within the community including 15 people of Chinese backgrounds, 11 Croatian,

47 Dutch, 69 Italian, 14 Maori, 10 Filipino etc. In Byron Bay nearly 20% of the population speak a language other that English at home, the highest percentages being German, Italian and Japanese, and a sixth of Byron Bay residents are from non-English speaking ancestry.’ continued on page 8

Plans for West Byron expansion under scrutiny Michael McDonald Byron Shire Councillors this week have to consider two large development proposals for the west of Byron Bay – the ‘applicant-intiated’ development control plan (DCP) for the ﬁve hectare ‘Bayshore Village’ off Bayshore Drive,

and whether or not to include in the current preparation of the shirewide Local Environmental Plan (LEP) lands known as ‘Area 2’ off Ewingsdale Road. The Bayshore Village proposal is for light industrial and residential precincts, a mixed use commercial

and retail area, and a habitat restoration zone. Plans for the Area 2 lands, which include Belongil Fields, have included a retirement village and a residential development of some 200 residences. The preamble to the staff report does not make it easy for Council-

lors to identify the best decision to make on potentially large developments at West Byron. It fails to even identify all landowners and presents a mish-mash of possibilities, although the planning director does note there is insufficient continued on page 2

and has taught Shakespearean studies at universities in Australia, Britain and the US. Shakespeare’s Wife was released as a book in 2007 and was quickly celebrated as Ms Greer’s most controversial book since The Female Eunuch. Leading lights in the worlds of history and literature pounced on the highly contentious and brilliantly argued hypotheses set forth and debate still rages. Germaine Greer has been in the business of jolting people out of established theories and complacent thought for decades. For an evening of entertainment, education and escape from orthodox thought, join Germaine Greer at the Byron Community Centre from 7pm. Tickets are available at the Centre or by calling 6685 6807. All tickets $25, NRWC members and students $20.

The ďŹ nal night of Byron Bay Film Festival 2008 provided a ďŹ tting conclusion to nine days of amazing film. A packed house watched the lights go down for the last time on BBFF08 and the crowd were treated to a trio of what later turned out to be award-winning ďŹ lms. Laya Project, a moving collage of music, sea and people ďŹ lmed after the 2004 tsunami was the feature for the evening and, deservedly, went on to win Best Film. The Brazilian animated short Tyger won Best Experimental Film, and producer of the third ďŹ lm The Sound of CRY, 25-year-old Lav Bodnaruk from Brisbane, took home the Best Young Australian Filmmaker Award. On the local award front, the BayFM Best Byron Bay Filmmaker Award went to Mick Waters for his surf ďŹ lm Believe, which judges said captured the spirit of Byron Bay perfectly. Director of the third annual festival Jâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;aimee Skippon-Volke was overwhelmed by the response to the festival from filmmakers and ďŹ lmgoers alike. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;All [the ďŹ lmmakers] were blown away by the warmth

Screening ďŹ lms that reďŹ&#x201A;ected the values and ideals held by Byron locals proved to be a winner. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I really think the festival has made its stamp as a cultural event that is enjoyed by the whole spectrum of people in our community.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; The nine-day festival attracted ďŹ lms and ďŹ lmmak-

ers from around Australia and the world (including Wolf Creek producer Matt Hearn, international surf producer Steven Lawrence, and Canadian environmental ďŹ lmmaker David ParďŹ t), which gave local ďŹ lmmakers an opportunity to showcase their projects and do a bit of networking. In closing the festival Jâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;aimee offered a heartfelt thanks to everyone involved who had contributed to

making it such a success. (She did, however, neglect to mention her own Herculean effort in watching the 800 ďŹ lms originally entered for the festival, and somehow selecting the outstanding 150 that made up the program.) BBFF08 called it a wrap to a round of hearty applause, lots of warm smiles and a great deal of curiosity about whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in store for BBFF09. To be continuedâ&#x20AC;Ś

They’re brave and they shave… Jann Gilbert At the tender age of 14, in the midst of adolescent angst, parting your hair on a different side is enough to warrant being outcast – let alone shaving the whole lot off. Proving that their young years belie a greater maturity, three Year 9 students from Byron Bay High School are defying peer group pressure (and preciousness) and have booked in for the snip on Friday March 14 as part of the Leukaemia Foundation’s World’s Greatest Shave. Stephanie Begg, Jake Creevey and Zoe Cue (aka ‘The Turkeys’) are excited as well as a little anxious at losing their locks for Leukaemia but they’re over the moon about raising money for charity. ‘We were looking through pictures of haircuts and thought wouldn’t it be weird if we shaved our heads,’ says Stephanie. ‘I’ve always wanted to do it so I thought we might as well do it for charity.’ For Zoe, the prime motivation was to raise money to combat a disease that she had already seen touch her family and friends. A good friend of Zoe’s lost his mother through cancer and she has also had a number of relatives with the disease. ‘It’s something we can do together,’ says Stephanie. ‘It’s really good to be able to help people and do something crazy at the same time.’ Zoe’s mother Briarne is

incredibly proud of their efforts and is even helping with the publicity and collecting donations so they can raise as much money as possible. ‘Teenagers making a statement,’ says Briarne with a laugh. ‘We do that anyway,’ replies Stephanie. As for what their peers might think, it’s pretty obvious the team don’t really give a damn. ‘Our friends will be supportive and excited,’ says Zoe. ‘Yeah, and people who don’t like us will probably call us lesbians or something,’ laughs Stephanie. The team hopes to raise at

least $1000 to help families who need away-from-home accommodation close to a treatment centre. At $100 per night per family that’s at least 10 nights they hope to provide for one family. ‘A thousand dollars would be great,’ says Stephanie. ‘But even more would be better!’ Sweet & Vicious hairdressing are doing the honours on Friday and owner Brianna and her able apprentice Anna Causley are looking forward to donating their chairs for such a worthy cause. ‘It’s a great idea,’ says Bri-

anna, who is planning a mass shave in the salon for next year’s Greatest Shave. Show your support for these young, courageous soon-to-be-skinheads and sponsor their shave online at www.worldsgreatestshave. com.au. Choose the ‘Sponsor’ option and follow the steps. Step 2 allows you to enter the group name (The Turkeys) so you can be sure you are sponsoring the right team.

MASSIVE AIR

Coast Public Health Unit, Paul Corben, said, ‘Whooping cough can be unpleasant for people of any age, but it can prove to be very serious in babies, even fatal. ‘With 60 cases reported in the ﬁrst two months of this year we have received over

two and half times the average number of cases reported in the same period over the previous ﬁve years. We are already well on the way to exceeding the 129 cases reported for all of 2007. ‘Whooping cough usually begins just like an ordinary

cold with a runny nose, tiredness and sometimes a mild fever.’ Information about whooping cough and whooping cough vaccination can be obtained from the North Coast Public Health Unit ofﬁce on 6620 7500.

Local News Historic hydro power station to be demolished Michael McDonald According to Byron Shire Council, NSW planning minister Frank Sartor has approved an order to demolish Mullumbimby’s historic power station. The hydro station, drawing water from Lavertys Gap and augmented by diesel engines, provided power to Mullumbimby, Byron Bay and Bangalow from the 1920s to the 1980s. Power provider Country Energy noted in an October 2007 newsletter on its Lismore to Mullumbimby electricity network upgrade from a 66kV to 132kV powerline that ‘The demolition of the old power station building located at the Mullumbimby Zone Substation will be necessary to ensure sufﬁcient space is available for the proposed network upgrade works. Country Energy will find an alternate suitable location to preserve and display the equipment currently housed in the building.’ In a 1993 heritage register then power provider Northern Rivers Electricity described the power station buildings as in poor condition. ‘This is the third hydro power station on the Australian mainland,’ the report noted, ‘and part of an important 1920s endeavour to make the North Coast selfsufﬁcient on hydro power. It is understood that the Peltonwheel hydro turbines

6680 7919 6685 5212 have rarity value; few others remain in operation (or in museums) throughout the world.’ The register recommended archival photos be taken of the power station and a permanent sign outlining its history be placed next to the Wilsons Creek site. A 1958 publication, Mullumbimby 1908-1958, produced by the Mullumbimby Star newspaper, noted that power generation schemes were in the minds of residents since October 1915. A poll of Mullumbimby ratepayers in December 1922 saw 77 vote in favour of building a power station and 51 against.

Mullumbimby ﬁrst received light from the power station on March 6, 1926, and Byron Bay and Bangalow shortly thereafter. ‘The way was then open for electrical street lights, which took the place of the old, troublesome gas lamps installed many years previously,’ the publication noted. The small hydro plant, with a capacity of 150Kw to 300Kw according to the 1993 register, was almost immediately augmented by diesel engines. As of 1958 the capacity of the station was 3154 kilowatts. A monument to the power station can be seen on the western corner of Dalley

However, Byron Bay Station Manager with Ambulance NSW, Don Hart, says that heroin doesn’t really appear to be an issue in the community. ‘I’ve been here for about five years and I’ve attended one overdose in that time. We’re more likely to get someone freaked out on Nimbin hash cookies or ekkies. I’ve seen a couple of people on ice and the occasional GHB but there’s only about one or two per year.’ Unconfirmed reports

about a month ago seemed to suggest that there was an increase in the purity of heroin that was reaching the streets. ‘You do hear stuff like that,’ says Don, ‘but there doesn’t seem to be any evidence of it. That’s not to say it isn’t there, though.’ Inspector Owen King from Byron Bay Police agrees with Don’s evaluation. ‘We haven’t seen any increase,’ says Inspector

and Tincogan Streets. A plaque at the site praises the foresight of the Aldermen of the Municipality of Mullumbimby (1908-1980) in establishing the power station. Designer of the Mullum station, engineer William Corin (1867-1929), also saw small hydroelectric plants established at Burrinjuck, Dorrigo and Nymboida. He was a hydroelectric enthusiast and in 1920 estimated the cost of the Snowy Mountains Scheme at two million pounds – in the end, the bill came to $820 million in 1970s money, having been started in 1949. Q Comment, page 10

Byron Shire deﬁes national heroin trend Jann Gilbert While recent national reports indicate a rise in heroin use and overdoses throughout the country, our little Shire appears to be defying the trend. Stories in national media suggested that the rise in heroin use, particularly in major cities such as Melbourne and Sydney, was a result of some methamphetamine users being lured back to heroin, and an increase in Afghani heroin reaching Australia.

King. ‘On the contrary, heroin use appears to be on the downturn here.’ However, while other drugs and their consequences don’t appear to be serious issues in Byron Shire both Inspector King and Don are in agreement about the alcohol-related problems that they regularly attend. ‘We’re not routinely called to deal with drug problems. There’s a much greater problem with alcohol-related incidents,’ says Don.

Netball group spreads sunshine Alex McAuley Whoever said that chocolate isn’t good for one’s health? Well now there is proof that it is – or at least that it’s good for someone’s health. Brunswick Byron Netball Association decided to sell pink and white M&Ms as last season’s fundraising initiative in order to raise money for people living with cancer as well as its junior rep players. President of Mullumbimby Netball Club Jenelle Stanford explained that they wanted to donate the money raised to a local cause. ‘Rather than hand the money over to the Cancer Council in Sydney we really wanted to help local people living with cancer, so I contacted the nurses at Mullumbimby Hospital for their advice,’ said Jenelle. Jenelle was put in touch with Tweed Palliative Care Support Inc who told them about their Sunshine Day Program which offers people living with cancer a ‘day of nurturing’. One of TPC’s vo l u n t e e r s Autumne Comidge explained how the concept works. ‘The program offers a day of centre based pampering with a focus on professional alternative therapies to give people a taste of the options available to them to make

their lives more comfortable,’ said Autumne. ‘We offer treatments such as massage and reiki as well as facials

and general pampering. We transport our clients to and from the centre and give them great food and cham-

pagne as well as an introduction to the various alternative and complementary therapies.’ The program has been running for two years with great success and there is a growing demand for Sunshine Day places. However, due to lack of funding the TPC has only been able to offer two Sunshine Days for a maximum of 30 people per session each year. ‘We have managed to increase the number of days on offer this year to four, and this is partly due to the support of associations such as Brunswick/Byron Netball,’ said Autumne. While all the therapists donate their services and TPC volunteers donate their time, there are still signiﬁcant costs attached to the program. Brunswick/ Byron Netball raised a whopping $2000 for the Sunshine Day project, enough to pay for 20 people living with cancer to enjoy a day of relaxation and therapy. The next Sunshine Day will be held on May 3. Anyone interested in attending or volunteering should contact Li Johnson, Cancer Liaison Ofﬁcer at Murwillumbah Hospital, or Tweed Palliative Support Inc on 6672 8459 or email palliative suppert@better.net.au.

Have say at health inquiry Member for Ballina Don Page has urged the local community to have their say about the NSW health system to the Special Commission of Inquiry. ‘I encourage anyone who has concerns about the treatment that they or their loved ones have received to make a submission to the Special Commission of Inquiry,’ he said. ‘The Auditor-General has highlighted emergency waiting times, bed occupancy levels, and the use of out of date equipment as areas that are not reaching even the standards set by the government themselves. ‘There has been a lot of

attention on particular hospitals. But I believe the problems are much more widely spread and it is important for members of the public to bring their experiences to the attention of the Special Commissioner. ‘Submissions from the public will help bring attention to the areas that need improvement’. Submissions can be made to Special Commission of Inquiry, Acute Care Services in NSW Public Hospitals, PO Box A4 Sydney South NSW 1235.

Local News Mandy previews Melbourne Show Learn to write a telling memoir Local comedian Mandy Nolan is taking her new one woman show ‘She’ll Be Right’ to the Melbourne Comedy Festival, but before she does she is going to present her hour long show to her home crowd. She is hoping the Byron show will help ﬁnance the Melbourne experience. ‘As a comic you have to perform at the Melbourne Festival, they are the comedy maﬁa and if they don’t know you, then you don’t exist. It’s like a public relations exercise that is funded by the comics themselves, we pay for everything, publicity, the venue, the sound guy and then we compete against 300 other shows. You can end up performing to two blokes and a labrador and that’s a packed show! I have gone for a word of mouth

It’s been a busy year already for Mandy who was the Festival Director for the second Big Joke Comedy Festival in Bangalow just a few weeks ago. As both promoter and performer, it can

Here’s what his customers say…. • ‘It was certainly refreshing! Not to be asked for a single cent to promote the property or to have the normal pressure to go to auction.’ • ‘We chose Winston because of our experience of his integrity and the positive reports from several who had used him in the past.’ • ‘This was indeed a stress-free experience. We felt very well informed at all times.’

be a difficult path, being one woman with many hats and one head! ‘I often let my own career as a standup take the back seat because I am so busy running clubs, promoting a festival and teaching other people standup. This year I made a pledge to focus on my craft as a standup. So performing in Melbourne is a big part of that. I will also get to do a bit of comedy shopping for The Big Joke 09. The Melbourne International Comedy Festival is the ultimate trade fair!’ It seems that even film makers from Sydney have discovered that there is something about Mandy. She is one of the subjects for an upcoming SBS documentary: About Women. The crew have been up filming Mandy around her home and will return to film her one woman show in Byron – which means you the audience members could find your heads on the box as well. Mandy Nolan appears with Ellen Briggs as MC and Divishti as support on Monday March 17 at the Byron Bay Service’s Club swanky new Pandanus Lounge. Tickets are $15. Show starts at 8pm. Bookings can be made on 6684 3443 or tickets can be bought directly at the club.

Writing memoir is often in itself a process of healing and renewal. But there is also a transforming power in the discipline of writing, and writing well. Life writing guru Patti Miller, pictured right, will explore these possibilities in a one-day workshop, Memoir: Writing with Heart and Style, to be held on Saturday March 29 in Byron Bay. ‘Patti is the country’s most experienced life-writing teacher and has been conducting workshops and seminars on life writing and memoir, both here and overseas, for 20 years,’ says the Northern Rivers Writers’ Centre. ‘She has two best-selling writing texts on the market and has also published two memoirs and a novel. ‘Whether you are a practising writer or just starting

Ms Freymark’s story At the Cliff’s Edge is based on a real life event, when she was accosted by a group of angry teenagers in a park. Twenty stories from the 350 submitted to Maygog Publishing were selected for publication. The anthology is available across Australia including at the Lismore campus.

Jenni’s story CD wins US award Local storyteller Jenni Cargill-Strong has just won an award in the US for her children’s CD ‘The Mermaid’s Shoes’. Jenni’s CD won Honours in the ‘Recorded Stories’ category of the 2008 Storytelling World Awards. All the other categories are for published books and hundreds of entries are sent from all around the world. Jenni’s ﬁrst CD ‘Wonder Tales of Earth and Sea’ won an award from the National Library of Australia back in 1999, but even though the Audiobooks market is growing rapidly, there were no competitions in Australia for Jenni to enter ‘The Mermaid’s Shoes’ into, which drove Jenni to look for a competition overseas. ‘I’m particularly thrilled for “Mermaid’s Shoes” to be recognised in the US, because storytelling over there is absolutely huge,’ said Jenni. ‘There are hundreds and hundreds of professional storytellers and many have CDs, so the competition is quite tough. In the US, some storytelling festivals are far big-

ger than Woodford Folk Festival – with up to 2000 people in one tent listening to one storyteller!’ The CD features six traditional stories plus two original songs. The title track of the CD is about the mermaid of Byron Bay. She decides to trade in her tail for human

legs after watching a full moon party on the beach. People are dancing gracefully and wildly by a flickering bonﬁre to the sound of funky drum rhythms. ‘It was Byron Bay locals who helped make this CD a world class award-winning recording,’ said Jenni. ‘So thanks to Michael Bates at Nomad Digital and also to musicians Rochelle Wright and Pete Haddock, who arranged and played the accompaniment to my songs.’ ‘The Mermaid’s Shoes’ is avaiable direct from Jenni at www.thestorytreecompany. com.au.

The Men of the Shed do it again Margo Sutton The Brunswick Shed Men had a good Saturday recently. During their February Day of the Shed they raised $1,500 for the Familia Hope Community, the orphanage they support at Gleno in East Timor. They did it with competitions outdoors – riding pushies up hills and down, and crossing the Bruns River without using the bridge. David (Belly) Bell’s shed is full of paddleboards, which he and partner Craig (Seppy) Allsop are manufacturing in Byron and which were used with great style by the Shed Men to cross the Brunswick river. The guys are making long boards which are like the first giant Malibu wooden surfboards, which Hawaiians used for fishing and riding waves over a century ago. These new age boards are made from epoxy resin and come with a deck grip and a carbon fibre paddle. Great for sea and river – paddling on the Bruns River with one of these is a wonderful way to spend a stress free day. Indoors, each shed owner provided beer and soft drinks and nibbles, plus games, a competition or a demonstration. A good bottle of wine from the Brunswick Cellars was auctioned and much knowledge was

exchanged – these sheds are used for amassing collections, indulging in hobbies, tinkering, sculpting, painting, storing etc. While enjoying themselves, the guys are fined, regularly and often, for many infringements. It’s all part of the fun and a great way to collect money. Treasurer and finemaster Michael de Constanza extracts money diligently. ‘It’s a big list,’ he said cheerfully. ‘Starts with anyone who turns up late for anything. ‘Riding on a bike with a beverage brings a fine, any spillage from a beverage, falling off a bike, any failure to lavishly compliment the

shed owner’s wife or any female, any backchat, any unsolicited advice about sheds, the last man to leave a shed, anything I can come up with really.’ The men pay up lavishly and willingly. Last year the Shed Men provided shoes, clothing and food for the orphans from their shed day. Isa Bradridge, the Australian who runs the orphanage, fervently thanks the shed men, who have consistently helped the orphans. These children saw their families killed, and some have machete scars to remind them of the violence in their past lives. Luckily the orphanage was undisturbed during

the recent attempted coup, but the kids need constant help for the basics like food, clothing and education. Brunswick shed man and GP David Miller visited them recently, and reported how rapt the children were when he became a teacher for a while and read them The Cat in the Hat. ‘They long for visitors,’ said David. ‘And they need educational material and musical instruments. There’s only one guitar in the orphanage and no music teacher.’ If anyone wants to help the orphanage in any way, drop in to the Silver Dragon in Mullumbimbi Street, Brunswick Heads, and leave donations etc there.

In this vale of tears, sorrow upon sorrow Vol 22 #39

March 11, 2008

Water over the turbine While it is sad to see the order given for final demolition of the Mullumbimby hydro electric power station established in 1926, it was hardly the model of self-sufficiency some folk tout it to be. It had to be augmented almost immediately by diesel engines and the hydro component had an estimated capacity of 150Kw to 300Kw. By comparison, small hydro plants these days can generate up to ten megawatts. And yet… Country Energy’s push to upgrade its Lismore to Mullumbimby line from 66kV to 132kV will see the Wilsons Creek site quarantined from hydroelectric use and the loss of a relatively clean source of power through water, something which the north coast often has in abundance. The foresight of the Aldermen of the Municipality of Mullumbimby (1908-1980) in committing to a hydroelectric scheme is not likely to be seen in the modern urge to sell more power for more domestic and commercial consumption, despite all the talk of ‘demand management’. How much greater will that urge be if our state power providers are entirely in the hands of private enterprise? The old Mullum scheme would be regarded as microhydro (www.microhydropower.net) these days, which is defined as generating up to 300Kw. Microhydro is a seriously considered source of renewable energy, the European Commission for example having studied it in depth. Unfortunately our council is prevented from going down that track by the priorities of the state government in power generation – and a lack of start-up capital. So it’s power to the people, and one alternative to hydro is solar, utilising another ‘commodity’ we have in abundance. Given current government rebates, it is an increasingly viable alternative to feeding off the grid. It was a different world in 1922 when 128 ratepayers of Mullumbimby municipality had their say on power generation and the sight of a motor vehicle on Australian country roads was an event. Now our profligate excess is coming home to roost, and anything we can do to reduce our power consumption – and make ourselves independent of centralised power generation – is a plus for the planet, not to mention an opportunity to ease our personal burden if it comes to a power or economic crunch.

hat a difference a month makes. When I left on a camping holiday at the beginning of February the place was still in a state close to euphoria. John Howard was finally flushed, Kevin Rudd was in the Lodge, Kyoto was ratified, WorkChoices was dead, the troops were coming home from Iraq and the great catharsis of an apology to the stolen generation was imminent. Bliss was it in that hour to be alive. But just 30 days later, all is gloom and doom. Inflation is rampant and the current account deficit out of control.We are facing infrastructure blockages, skill shortages and a possible wages breakout. Just around the corner looms a horror budget which will condemn the old and the handicapped to a life of poverty and misery. Woe, woe is us. Well, frankly it was never quite that good and it certainly isn’t quite that bad. What has happened is just what most sensible commentators warned of many moons ago: the chickens so lovingly incubated by Howard and his government have developed into giant vultures which are now busily crapping all over the economy. The policy of continuous election which consisted of a steady stream of tax cuts, welfare payments and handouts to consumers across the board has led, inevitably, to unaffordable housing, runaway demand, an unsustainable stream of imports and an underlying inflation bubble which must be suppressed before it bursts; all this apart from the great missed opportunities for

reform of infrastructure, education, health, the tax system and all the other ills which continue to beset the lucky country. This is obviously bad news, but it is in the interests of the new government to make it sound worse than it really is. If Rudd together with his inner group of Wayne Swan, Julia Gillard and Lindsay Tanner can claim the situation they inherited on November 24 was truly calamitous, it will make the nasty medicine they need to administer if not more palatable, at least more acceptable. And let’s face it, some of the things which are going to disappear in the May budget should never have

would be kinder (and certainly more politically beneﬁcial) to leave this year’s lot in place but make it clear that from now on the system will be reformed. However, the Ruddites have obviously decided there is a need to dramatise the need for cuts across the board, so we are now being softened up for the punishments we have earned for leaving the Howard mob in power for far too long. But although those directly affected won’t like them very much, the punishments are not going to be overly painful. Swan and Tanner are looking for cuts of about $5 billion on top of those already announced. This sounds like an awful lot of

Irregular annual bonuses to carers and to the aged were always a cruel hoax: if carers and the aged deserve a better deal – and there is certainly a good argument to say that they do – then increases should be built into their fortnightly payments and guaranteed by law; to offer them occasional Christmas presents when their votes are needed is patronising, insulting and bad economics. The problem is that when such windfalls become part of the system people tend to budget for them and even spend them in advance; it

loot, but after the boom of the last few years it amounts to only a couple of percent of the budget as a whole. Moreover the waste and extravagance (not to mention the self-indulgence) of the Howard mob mean that many of the cuts will be not only necessary but popular: few will mourn a drastic reduction in the number of spin doctors, pollsters, personal trainers, astrologers and other hangers-on which used to infest ministerial ofﬁces. And of course, there are the coming tax cuts to administer salve to whatever economic wounds we do

sustain. And the other good news is that the Reserve Bank has signalled that the wave of interest rate increases may ﬁnally be taking effect, and therefore be coming to an end. No, it is not all doom and gloom; but we have been warned. The cynical materialism, the Panglossian smugness of the Howard years came at a price. It’s all about putting that message across, because if we don’t get it now, it could be the ﬁre next time.

nd speaking of messages, there was our nolonger Dear, once-was Leader raving away to a bunch of discredited American neocons about how he had left his country stronger, prouder and more prosperous than he had found it, just as he did on election night and just as he presumably will until the men in white coats with the big butterﬂy nets come to take him the retirement home with the padded walls and the waterproof sheets. His claims to economic management have been dismissed as fraud by Treasury Chief Ken Henry, his policies denied by former allies in the Business Council, almost every item of his platform discarded by his hapless political successors. The Howard years are already being seen not merely as wasted (Howard’s own term for the regime of Malcolm Fraser in which he prospered as treasurer) but as a time of breathtaking incompetence and near criminal neglect. And his legacy? The GST. That’s something to put in his Irving Kristol salad bowl.

He’s been getting great relief and healing from Zeolites, a mineral compound that removes toxins, heavy metals, even viruses from the body safely and effectively. My only investment in them is that they could help others in the shire. Rob’s doctors who said there was nothing more they could do have agreed there is no other explanation for Rob’s good blood readings and for us to stick with them. Latest news from Harvard Medical and American College of Surgeons is that inhaling oil of THC laden hemp seeds vaporised at relatively low temp is greatest anti cancer agent yet. Stops cancer spreading and reduces tumours too by at least 50% in lung cancer. Has unique blend of Omegas and other essential fatty acids and THC. Big push in America to legalise their medical use. I am willing to do whatever it takes to help my darling and I’m hoping that old mates in the Shire might help me obtain a supply of seeds for this purpose as well as getting into it themselves. The irony is delicious, non? The organic hemp seed oil one can buy commercially has no THC and therefore is not the go. If you can help please give me a call on 0428 698 882, reverse charges.

Q Last week Byron United publicly pointed the ﬁnger at Byron Shire Council for a short list of major neglects. I guess we are in for more of the same from Byron United and other interests groups leading up to the local government elections in September this year. But it is good to see issues being raised so as to inform the public and especially the voters. What a shame that Byron United neglects to put the blame where the blame lies. In truth, some of the blame can be laid at the feet of Council staff, some with the state government, and some with the collective decision making of the ten councillors. Byron United has chosen to dump all the blame on ‘Council’. This is misleading. The areas of responsibility in the issues raised by Byron United have been clearly spelt out in many articles and letters in The Echo and eslewhere. The ten councillors, with three Greens, one ALP and six ‘non-aligned’, actually have little power to ﬁx the most of the problems Byron United has highlighted. If we are going to have six

Does he honestly think that an occasional train passing through our rural villages is preferable to ever bigger highways slicing through our communities with constantly increasing car and truck trafﬁc through our towns? Maybe Mr Thatcher could rethink his numbers? One hundred ﬁfty million dollars to provide a fully restored line with a life of one hundred years. That’s a capital cost of $1.5 million a year for a line that services four local government areas and

is 130 kilometres long. By comparison, the cost of the Brunswick to Yelgun Pacific Highway upgrade was thirty million dollars per kilometre. So for the same money, we only get five kilometres of road with a substantially shorter life. If Ross is serious about finding savings to provide services for the homeless, then an investment in rail is clearly the way to go. Remember too that the capital cost of the line remains constant in today’s dollars, whereas the value of the benefits increases over time. For example in 1996, the Bureau of Transport Economics produced figures that showed that the cost of

each road fatality to the community was $1.5 million, but this would be much higher in today’s ﬁgures. If having a rail line provides a safe alternative that saves just one person’s life a year, it will have more than paid for itself.

the continuing ‘blame game’. Hugh, not only do the politicians not read their job descriptions but they also don’t appear to read their rule book, The Australian Constitution. Hospitals and Health: Since the 1946 referendum, medical, mental and dental services have been a federal jurisdiction which it shares with the State. (Federal and State governments share equal responsibility) (See: Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act Amendment to Section 51, page 11). For railways: part 5, Powers of Parliament. (xxxiii.) The acquisition, with the consent of a State, of any railways of the State on terms arranged between the Commonwealth and the State: (xxxiv.) Railway construction and extension in any State with the consent of that State: The politicians in our area made election promises to restore our rail service but have the federal members of the Northern Rivers region ever conferred with the state members regarding the Casino-Murwillumbah rail service? If

not, why not? Even members of a football team have to thoroughly know and understand the club’s rule book, or get disqualified. (Now there’s an idea). Peggy Balfour

Mullumbimby Q I agree with Ross Thatcher’s assertion that more bike tracks need to be built in this time of increasing concern about the availability and price of oil and the effects of road transport on global warming. But unfortunately bicycles are not a practical transport option for everyone, especially our ageing population, people with mobility problems and families with young children. Cycleways need to be part of an integrated transport system that can be used by everyone, including cyclists, not an alternative to rail. The fast growing Northern Rivers area, with almost two million tourists each year and where 85% of residents live within 5kms of the rail line, cannot be compared to a country town. It’s very myopic of our governments to be spending billions upgrading the Paciﬁc Highway, which will only

increase polution and trafﬁc gridlock in our towns, but refusing to provide the $60m to upgrade our rail system, which is what thousands of Northern Rivers residents are asking for. Yes, if you believe in Santa and the Tooth Fairy, you may believe the line could

be rebuilt in the future, but at a huge cost, as Queensland residents are ﬁnding out as their line to the Gold Coast is slowing being reconstructed. Our rail line is a very valuable piece of infrustructure which could provide a service to so many, including

cyclists. If only we had competent politicians who weren’t so obsessed with spending our taxes in Sydney, Newcastle and Woollongong and ignoring the needs of the rest of the state. Louise Doran

Ocean Shores

The pros and cons of kite surfing Q Imagine if the most fun thing in your life was banned at the place that you enjoyed doing it the most. For me that thing is kite surfing at The Pass in a NE sea breeze when the swell is up. So I was really disappointed to read in The Echo that Byron Shire Council had decided to place an interim ban on kite surfing on these parts of Main Beach.The article comments on statements that there are ‘frequent incidents of swimmers being hit by kite surfing boards or wires’ out there at Main Beach. As a regular participant, I have never seen such an incident. I am not denying that it could happen, however getting hit by a surfboard, surf ski, kayak or

windsurfer while swimming is just as unlikely. There are no wires controlling the kite – they are lightweight lines! In my opinion the ‘ban’ is an over reaction by an uninformed bunch of councillors, who haven’t consulted kite surfers to ﬁnd out what the issues are. When the wind is up from the North – which has only been a few afternoons this last summer – generally there are not many people in the water or on the beach. Those that are can rest assured that we can generally manoeuvre our boards and kites precisely, and we are always looking at the water around us, and can see swimmers and avoid them. As a responsible partici-

pant who is very safety conscious, I feel that it is an infliction on my personal freedom. So what is intended with the ban and how is it going to be policed and at what expense to the ratepayer? What, more signs in the carparks, a ranger on the beach issuing ﬁnes, clubbies chasing us around on the jet skis? Perhaps the council should start working on issues that affect every one of us every day such as ﬁxing infrastructure. Andrew Hauserman

Byron Bay Q I am writing to say well done in regard to to recently announced total ban that has been imposed on the sport of kite surﬁng on our

public beaches. Over the past few years I have written to both the council general manager as well as to the editor of The Echo expressing my serious concerns for public safety. I myself have been injured while standing on the main beach, when one of these ﬂiers lost his kite as he was leaving the water, even 60 metres away from him I was still sliced by one of his cords. Had I not done some very quick thinking who knows what injuries I could have received that day. As it was I still got deepslash cuts under my armpits – I still bear the scars. The power and the speed of these devices are awesome to behold and I certainly understand the attraction of

them especially to testosterone fueled thrillseekers.They are the V8 supercars of the water. Frankly I am amazed that they have not killed someone by now. I am glad that the council in its wisdom has realised the extreme threat that these people and their devices pose to the community. I strongly encourage the council to enforce this total ban. I suggest that council have published a telephone hot line so that anyone who disregards this directive may be reported without delay. Thank God no child was harmed before this law was put into place. The beach is for everyone to enjoy. Albert J Atkins

BHPA letdown Local residents would be very unwise to rely on Brunswick Heads Progress Association (BHPA) to protect them from the worse excesses of Department of Lands (DOL). BHPA’s lacklustre submission on DOL’s Foreshore Plan offers a very superﬁcial one-line ‘response’ to DOL’s recommendations. No evidence or facts are given to support BHPA’s stated position and they offer no solutions. The current executive appear to be completely unaware of longstanding issues and preferred outcomes championed by BHPA for over a decade. They ignore their own streetscaping and carparking plans prepared by BHPA together with C of C and BSC just a few years ago. There are also glaring errors. BHPA’s submission states, ‘The meeting resoundingly agreed with the closure of the former Riverside Drive and the resolution of the park boundaries.’ Not one person spoke in favour of closing Riverside Cres at BHPA’s public meeting held on 4/2/08. At

Letters least three people spoke passionately against this proposal. Although Ferry residents rudely interjected, when challenged, they were unable to provide one valid reason for closing the public road and allowing 2000m2 of prime foreshore land, currently zoned open recreational space, to be ‘resumed’ by DOL for caravan park operations. (ie cabins on the foreshore!) The resumption of Ferry foreshore was not mentioned in DOL foreshore strategic plan and many people attending the meeting were not aware of the implications of the road closure. Others were clearly opposed to the inclusion of Ferry foreshore within the caravan park. No vote was taken on the issue so it is extraordinary BHPA’s executive came to the conclusion that there was resounding agreement on this issue. No-one, including BHPA

members, were able to get a copy of the draft submission before it was submitted to DOL. Although common practice at BHPA, the current executive simply refused to release the draft or consider any review process. Local politics is often personal and in your face. But it is very disappointing when elected representatives allow personal issues to get in the way of good decision making.

I ﬁnally resorted, yesterday, to phoning Country Energy’s Supply Interruptions line 13 20 80. Amazingly, my phone call was the first report they’d received. What concerns me is not only that we are wasting precious electricity with these faulty street lights on 24/7 but, during the day, this power is drawn from the electricity grid during the prime Base-Load time – adding even more polluting greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. The council pays the bill for this wasted power, and who ultimately pays for this? Us ratepayers. I am also aware that the biggest component of the council’s total power bill is the street lighting so I am surprised that my repeated notiﬁcation of the problem wasn’t acted upon. Don’t we all know now that we really need to reduce emissions – do other people

notice faulty street lights or commercial buildings with external lights on during the day, doing absolutely nothing but burning coal? If we all became more aware of how the power grid works we could really make a difference to how much power we use. The main draw on power is during the day when all the businesses and industries are running. The day’s load is called the Base-Load and as the polluting, energyinefﬁcient, coal-ﬁred power plants can’t be turned off overnight it is the BaseLoad that determines the

24 hour cycle. At night there is heaps more power generated than is needed which is why off-peak power at night is so cheap. We could all make a difference if we looked to reduce our power use during BaseLoad time and the Peaks within that time. All it takes is thought, observation and more energy efﬁcient practices in our homes and our businesses. Now that shouldn’t be too much to ask of anyone? Let’s look after our planet and not just be blinkered to our impacts. Gayle Russell

The Woolworths intrusion into small town life Q The wonderful world of the Mullumbimby Community Action Group enthusiasts continues to gain momentum and support. Our hopes for the town centre remain buoyant but I wonder where the local traders are in all the activity and interest. As their livelihoods depend on retaining the status quo,I am surprised that there doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to be much involvement in the main street. As I go about my local business I often natter to shopkeepers about the proposed Woolworths or the activities of the Action Group but I am met with disinterest and even some disdain. A lot of the main streeters donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to know what is going on, and worse still donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to care! So, perhaps more information is required. The campaign table outside Santos is a great source of easily accessed information. The website and blogsite are available reference points and a letter box drop is planned. The public meetings have drawn good crowds and although the times have not necessarily been shopkeeper-

friendly so far, there are more planned. Disseminating information is vital to any cause and we are most grateful for the support of The Echo and the Byron Shire newspapers. Our coverage and that of associated ideas has been terriďŹ c, so there is really no excuse for ignorance. Does this indicate indifference? In a year or two, if Woolworthsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; huge supermarket has become our reality, there will be some sizeable gaps in the shopfronts in Mullum and it will be too late to say that perhaps it could have been different. So, if you care and are likely to be affected, please join our endeavours. There is much to be done and the need is fast approaching for serious fundraising and lobbyist activity. Carole Gamble

enough. For this reason I ďŹ nd it rather strange that the proposed supermarket in Station Street is ďŹ ve times as large in stage 1 excluding the bottle shop and seven times as large when stage 2 is built. It is fortuitous for Mallams that the proposal is large enough for Woolworths to be interested. Alternatively, one might come to the conclusion that Mallams was aware of Woolworths interest when the DA documents were prepared. This was in 2006 with the public being invited to comment in July 2006. At that time the community was not aware of Woolworths and only became aware early in 2008. The question I have is was Mallams already negotiating with Woolworths at that time. If it was, it should have informed the community and the socio-economic section of the DA should have been expanded to include the impact of a major supermarket operator coming to town. If Mallams did know, I am sure that it did not want to tell the community because it knew that there would be major objections. Another aspect that intrigues me is that I am told that Mallams did not wish to move to a site in Dalley Street because of the cost of purchasing the land and existing buildings. Surely building an 1800 square metre supermarket at Station Street (which seems to be far too large for a population of 4000) was going to be far more costly than building a smaller supermarket at Dalley Street including demolishing the existing building and dealing with any contamination. It does not make sense to me. Furthermore the site at Dalley Street is surrounded by retail development whereas Station Street is not. I am a relative newcomer to the area and would be

Mullumbimby Q By what is termed the Local Multiplier Effect (Google it), the impact of Woolworths will be far more radical than simply job losses in the food industry. Different NGOs calculate this in different ways, but if Woolworths turns over $10million/year, the loss to the local economy, per year, will be between $6-$10million.That is around 200 jobs (Your job maybe? Your daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s?) some of which may be as follows: the local food supply chain â&#x20AC;&#x201C; farmers, distributors, manufacturers plus one each of the bakers, butchers, greengrocers will close with a loss of 10-15 jobs. The ďŹ&#x201A;ower shop, the Co-op, the newsagent and Santos will be impacted. And these are just some of the direct job losses; consider the indirect ones: the hairdressers, the cafes, the computer store etc. The issue to be understood by everyone seduced by the allure of supposedly cheap and fresh food, the convenience of one-stop shopping, is that unless the community supports local business, particularly local food suppliers, we will wear the cost in extra crime and loss of amenity as poverty and boredom kick in. That is simply what happens when a big supermarket comes to a town. Alok Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien

Jim shares music passion for free Story & photo Lou Beaumont Jim Migdoll has a passion for classical music. A passion he wants to share with the world. Migdoll has created Jim’s Classical Music website, a rare site free of advertising and intrusive pop ups, it is full of music to lift the spirits. The site is bloggish by nature, with Migdoll offering his opinions on composers and compositions. He even has ‘Perfect Music’ and ‘Almost Perfect Music’ categories made up of his personal favourites for you to explore. As with all music and other art forms, classical music taste is entirely subjective, however, lovers of the genre or those interested in exploring it further should ﬁnd something they like on Migdoll’s diverse site. Jim Migdoll told The Echo, ‘I wanted to make it appealing to those who love classical music obviously, although I did try to include pieces that are a bit outside the box. I felt if I just used all the popular pieces then the site would be just like a top 200 site. ‘There are over 100 songs on the site currently and it is expanding all the time. ‘It has been a real labour of love.

reduced me to tears – I have made every mistake possible in the set up of the site.’ Migdoll openly favours the instrumental side of classical. His dislike of opera stems from a childhood memory of being cruelly evicted from the school choir and is further deepened by the fact

that he consistently prefers the sound of a well played instrument over the human voice. Migdoll was raised on large doses of classical music, particularly Chopin and Rachmaninoff, and had a frustrated musician as a father. His love of classical con-

tinued to grow, consistently favouring the Romantic era and certain composers from the Baroque period. His website www.jimsclassicalmusic.com is described by Migdoll as ‘ear candy and commentary for the discriminating listener’. Give your ears something to smile about.

Jann Gilbert You can’t miss them: the twisted and mangled or ﬂattened and disembowelled carcasses of amphibians that litter the roads after a night of heavy rain. To be fair, no doubt as they aim the wheel at the startled creature caught in the glare of the headlights, most drivers would sincerely believe they were doing their bit in eradicating that unprincelyest of toads, Bufo marinus, or more commonly, the Cane Toad. Unfortunately, more often than not, they’ve probably just called lights out for an endangered native frog. Many people have trouble distinguishing a native frog from a Cane Toad because they share similar features. Unfortunately a number of endangered native frogs bear a striking resemblance to the ominous toad and, in a tragic case of mistaken identity and a road-to-hellpaved-with-good-intentions scenario, the frogs are being literally squeezed out. Not to mention hit for six, ‘Dettol’-ed or subject to a host of other inhumane forms of eradication. Lisa Wellman, Pest Control Ofﬁcer with National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) Northern Rivers Region, is as keen as anyone to see the pesky toad gone but not at the expense of native frogs. In order to reduce the number of cases of mistaken identity NPWS has embarked on an education program that focuses on identifying the toad’s distinguishing features, and a ‘Stop the Toad’ awareness campaign to help prevent the spread of Cane Toads through accidental transportation. As part of the program, postcard-size fridge magnets have been sent to over 1000 businesses and industries throughout the Northern Rivers. The primary aim in contacting business and industry (apart from helping them identify frogs from toads) is to help prevent the accidental transportation of toads in products such as mulch, plants, timber and other stored products or in tyre wells and pallets. A map of Cane Toad locations clearly indicates that the sat-

ellite colonies established to the south and west are obviously a result of accidental transportation. ‘We wanted to say, look, we’ve got this information and we’re wanting people to be aware,’ says Lisa. ‘And the response has been great. Many of the businesses we contacted have asked if we could provide them with more fridge magnets to put on display or give out to the public, particularly with retail outlets like pet supplies and vet clinics.’ There are also general public information sheets available on the lifecycle of a Cane Toad, a ‘Super Trap’ method of catching them, and an excellent teacher’s resource kit to help kids learn to identify frogs from toads in all sorts of fun and entertaining ways. ‘In the kids education package that we developed, one of the exercises the kids do is listen to native frog calls as well as Cane Toad calls, and be able to differentiate them that way. So I guess there’s an audio observation as well the visual observation,’ says Lisa. NPWS only began the schools education program last year but they are hoping that kids will take the information home to parents and educate them as well. So what is the easiest way to visually distinguish a frog from a toad? ‘If you physically look at it and look at the features, as we’ve tried to show on the fridge magnets, they’re quite distinctive. They have a bony ridge on the forehead, an eardrum that you can see, there’s the large glands at the side of the head, they’ve got unwebbed feet or hands at the front and webbed toes at the back, and there’s also the general dry, warty appearance. You need to make sure they have all of these features. And again, there’s the call, which is very distinctive,’ says Lisa.

DETOX or DE-STRESS?

EXERIENCING - bloating, constipation, stomach upsets, skin problems, low energy, allergies, depression, chronic ffatigue, muscle pain or headaches? YES! Then we can help...

The lifecycle info sheets also differentiate frogs and toads through identification of their eggs. ‘Cane Toad eggs are like strands of spaghetti,’ says Lisa. You can pick them up, they’re long and stringy and pliable whereas native frog eggs are generally foamy balls of mass. They’re very different in that respect. If people know how to identify the eggs they can remove them before they become tadpoles.’ Unfortunately the tadpoles are a little harder to distinguish with the only difference being Cane Toad tadpoles tend to be very black in appearance rather than transparent like native tadpoles. ‘With most native tadpoles you can actually see through the body,’ says Lisa. ‘It might be a darkish colour or brownish but you can still see through them.’ The whole idea of the education program is to identify the differences between frogs and toads in all lifecycle stages so that people are then able to have an impact on the Cane Toad problem in different ways. Things you can try at home include removing standing water in containers below 50 centimetres in height if possible (they’re lazy little blighters and they don’t like to jump), removing rubbish and debris so they can’t find shelter during the day, and keeping lights off to avoid inviting Cane Toads to feast on the insects and moths that gather around them. Believe it or not, you can also fence them out! They’re not very bright and will bounce along a wall until they find an entrance. Naturally, if there isn’t one, they won’t get in.

Obviously this is not going to cure the toad problem per se. As Lisa says, a lot of the area in the Northern Rivers is private land where motivation on the part of the landholder is required to help control the problem.

Tiger Beetle, burning bright, in the forests of the night Story & photos Mary Gardner What have beetles to do with the end of the world? Around town, I spot four of them. There in the shop window is a bold sculpture of a Rhinoceros Beetle. In another are Ladybirds in mixed media. An arcade hosts Jewel Beetles cut from metal drums. And here on my coffee table, pictured with scientiﬁc precision, are pen and inks of Tiger Beetles. Learning about beetles seems innocent enough. The Rhinoceros Beetle is a local, one species of the 2,000 strong Australian Scarabaeidae family. Like every beetle, its life cycle begins as an egg which hatches a hungry larva that ﬁnally changes into the adult form. The larvae are often found in our compost heaps. The male sports the horn. But more than that no one really knows. Ladybirds are also local. Though their family name is Coccinellidae (meaning scarlet) they can be yellow, orange, brown or black with or without black trim or spots. Because the adults eat aphids, mites and scale insects, all major pests of important crops, these beetles are well studied. Since 1888, one species of the 260 Australian ones (black with

red splotches) is an import around the world, saving citrus harvests. Just as pretty are the Jewel Beetles, yet another local. Not so long ago, the bright metallic Buprestidae (some 850 species) were often used as gemstones for jewellery. We know so little about them. The larvae may live up to several years. The adults, intoxicated on the nectar of flowers, might live for two weeks. Since many species seem to depend on native plants in unmodified landscapes, biologists guess that many Jewel Beetles are quietly going extinct before they are even identified. And the Tiger Beetles? The Cicindela are a subfamily of the 2,000 strong Carabidae or ground beetles. These catch the eye because they are so brightly coloured and active. Some have been clocked running at 0.62 metres per second, leaping into flight instantaneously. Both larvae and adult are fierce predators. Throughout the world, local Tiger Beetles are extensively studied. They live on beaches and in sand dunes, along rivers and lakes, in forests and deserts. In fact, the life cycle of the study of Tiger Beetles is also a recent

topic of discussion. At the start, Tiger Beetles were enthusiastically described by observers who were all on the same footing. Gradually, the descriptions of species and life cycles became more technical. Tricky experimental studies were designed. These were

followed by modeling, statistics, biochemical and molecular studies. In this progression the people who got to know the beetles were more specialised; professionals talking to others who understand the lingo. Even as the information became of wider

THE EASY WAY

interest, fewer people knew. So today, specialists of Conservation Biology understand Tiger Beetles are important bio-indicators. They talk to governments and media about how the beetles are threatened by disruptions in their habitats and climate conditions. All these are directly linked with certain types of human activities and land use. By changing some human actions, we can watch Tiger Beetles recover and repopulate. When they thrive, this also means that there is an entire web of other creatures both smaller and larger than the beetles that are also now thriving. That the details of Tiger Beetles are well known to only a few people is a major problem. So is the fact that so many other beetles live unrecognised for what they are and do. A famous biologist once quipped that the Creator, if there was one, shows an inordinate fondness for beetles, there being at least 350,000 known species. What do we not know for not knowing more about one of the most abundant type of organisms? But even as our own human life cycles and

indeed our civilisations seem to crescendo and collapse, there is another pattern emerging. There are among us ‘pro-ams’. These professional amateurs are now seen as a major force of social change and human development. Salaried professionals around the world are learning to collaborate with pro-ams. Business and government are taking notice too. What has this to do with beetles and the end of the world as we know it? Well, each of us can take up knowing a beetle or two. Any of us can go ’pro-am’ with this interest. Knowledge, held by the 1800’s era of upper class natural history scholars, caught by exclusive club of science workers in the 1900’s, is now breaking out. The 21st century can be a new era of wider learning and kinder action. If there is a godly message to this world’s inordinate fondness of beetles, where else can it be read but in the compost heaps and leaf litter around us?

WILDFLOWERS FOR YOU We have a copy of Clelia Adams new album: Wildﬂowers available: email mandypow@echo. net.au with subject header: ‘wild is the wind’.

He's popped more ping pong balls than a Thai exotic dancer. Mullumbimby based circus performer and comedian extraordinaire Joel Salom has just embarked on his latest tour, where he and two of his best mates, fellow performers Jim Dunlop and Marko Symec present Gadgets, the reworking of the show that ﬁrst hit the stages back in 2002. ‘Gadgets is the remount of the show that I put together with Michael Lira, and Neill Duncan. Originally we had a short season in Sydney and then in Adelaide, Woodford and The Buddha Bar in Byron.' After a 6 year hiatus that has seen Joel working all over the world either solo, with Circus Oz or the man behind the shiny metal balls of the infamous Erik the Dog, Joel is back and describes himself as 'amped.' And why shouldn't he be? His small metal robot beast (Erik) has just been picked up by Virgin Atlantic for a series of advertisements. 'We were doing Circus Oz last year on a short tour playing Hong Kong, Mexico and America and Virgin America were the main sponsors and their marketing department saw Erik and said I like that dog and by the end of the week we had shot 3 commercials.' It would appear that Erik is destined to be as successful as his creator, as both seem to be on their separate, and secretly co-joined performance trajectories. It's a bit like having a personality disorder, Joel admits. 'I speak about him like another entity, it's weird trying to do a deal for him. Virgin just ﬂew out from Hong Kong to do a photo shoot with Erik, and so a photographer turned up in Mullum in our humble home and set up lights and cameras and I just stood behind the camera and Erik's working it.' Erik is a featured performer in Gadgets, along with laser juggling and musical inspired juggling/comedy that happens as the cirque du menage au trois of Jim, Marko and Joel give it a whirl.

'Jim, well he was in Circus Oz and we used to do some stchick at the start of the show. He's a drummer, and he's a very funny stupid man. Throughout the show it's generally Marko and Jim making the music – Marko plays keyboards – Marko is from Waiting For Guiness and Wicked Beat Sound System – so in the end I suppose you could say the show is multi genres – it's eclectic with its mix of styles and music – a lot of the comedy is around changing from one style to

another and using drama and dramatic sounds and feelings to mess about with – we hit each other a lot which is good.' As a solo

performer Joel is only too happy to welcome some mates on board. I do so many solo gigs that it's so much fun to have people to bounce off on stage. I am into music and you can set a mood – they set a mood for you to go into... there are bits that are set down and there are bits you can play with...having a four month tour means you can really change the show and reﬁne it.' Joel Salom is about as super slick as a circus performer gets. He is freakishly good in fact. And from a comedian's point of view, he's actually freakishly funny as well. Usually humour is a cover for a lack of real skill and real skill a cover for any natural humour. So how did Joel get there? Turns out he was, and always will be, a circus nerd. 'I was a bit of a square at school. I left in year 11, but I was into juggling and BMX, I learnt to juggle when I was eight – it's like music, it takes so long for it to become second nature, I am glad I started young because if I had an awareness of the social bias towards juggling I don't think I would have done it. It's not the kind of thing where people go “oh wow – a juggler, how sexy”.’ Gadgets is the witty and innovative show that combines technology and live music with his spectacular rhythmic juggling. The musicians perform an eclectic mix of pop, classical, death metal and jazz fused with gypsy swing. Gadgets is at the Star Court Theatre on Thursday and Friday, with tickets for $32/20. Bookings to 13000 NORPA Shows at 8pm.

Joel speaks highly of his cohorts.

Journey to the Placenta of the Universe There's a lot of pressure on women when they have a baby to do the 'right' thing. I wanted to have a natural birth, the kind of fantasy birth that you read about in vegetarian magazines where girls who don't wear shoes have 8 hour water births with boyfriends who don't have jobs. The hospital option seemed clinical and sterile, so I went to one of those pregnancy support groups for women having home births. I would have had a home birth, but at the time I didn't have a home. It was OK for all those middle class hippies living in yurts but I was living in a shed in Marvell Street with a cat and a dreadlocked dude who collected phone cards and windup tin toys. In the end I opted for the hospital. Babies, like pizza, can be ordered out or scheduled for a home delivery. The great thing about eating out is someone else cleans up the mess. Hello, home birth none, hospital one. So I decided that seeing as I had wimped out and taken the narcotic option, that I needed to do something meaningful with the placenta. I stuck it in a bucket and put it in the freezer. I know what you are thinking, but I didn't eat it. Although it was in the freezer so long and there was that one night I missed the shop, and I was stoned and had a hankering for osso bucco. I was tempted. Don't judge me, it's home grown organic. But I didn't ingest, as is

traditional in other cultures, instead I made a handbag, the umbilical cord made an excellent shoulder strap, and as nature had intended it went on to be the ultimate carry all. Alright, I buried it. I buried the placenta in the backyard under a special tree. I was only 27 and still smoking enough pot to want to make a moment of it with a hand crafted placenta ritual. I have buried all the children's placenta's under special trees – so that they will always have a living reminder of the life force that ﬁrst shielded and grew them. It's a beautiful connection of baby to earth, using the discarded placenta as food for a new seed, so that somewhere within the tree's cellular structure is the DNA echo of your precious child. Every birthday I take my children to their personal Mecca – a visit to their special placenta tree. Only problem is I have never owned my own home. I rent. And I tend to be a bit of a gypsy. Every time we visit a placenta tree I have to go door-knocking in old neighbourhoods. ‘Excuse me, we used to live here... my placenta is buried in your backyard. Would you mind if we popped out for a visit?’ I have a 100% vacancy rate. (Sometimes I visit places I have never lived, like beachfront at Watego's.) My last child was born in Sydney. Never guess where I tucked that little protein bag... I'll give you a clue. Placenta Point Towers ring any bells?

Blues Fest Update: Local Line Up Bluesfest Director, Peter Noble is a believer in backing local acts alongside internationals. In his opinion, it's what makes Bluesfest so unique and one of the many local community values it provides for the North Coast. 'We make sure locals are presented as well as internationals. Alongside Woodford, I think we put on more local acts than any other festival.' So who are the local acts that have caught the eye of Mr Noble and Bluesfest this year? ‘Mick Daley and The Re-Mains are one of them. Local to me means if you live between Gold Coast to Nimbin and down to Yamba. There's Mason Rack, we are getting him back, we discovered him a few years ago (from the Gold Coast) and since then he's getting spots all over the country. 'There's Juzzie Smith, who I discovered

at Woodford one year, The Mongrels of Passion – Vince Lovegrove's band – (used to play with Bon Scott in the Valentines) and they'll be representing the older people in the area! I heard Jess Clements singing on a Saturday arvo at an Italian restaurant in Lennox and I said, you can sing, would you like to play at Bluesfest? There's Marshall and the Fro – they won the buskers comp last year and since then they have been playing in festivals all around the country. 'Beau Young from Yamba – he's Nat Young's son. People often say they can understand that Bluesfest went into alt country but how did we get to Jack Johnson? I said hey the two major events here are surf culture and the Aquarius Festival, surf culture is a great part of the festival, (in truth it was my lady Anika who suggested Jack) – we have some of the best breaks in the world – we put surf culture on stage

because it reﬂects our area. 'And then we have Wil Connor – he's BC's son (of the legendary BC Hats). He grew up in Byron Bay. Jack Johnson picked him up to be his opening act on his tour. If you want to see something special on Saturday be at the Crossroads at 1pm. There will be a special guest who will surprise people. I can't say who, but it might be very interesting for people who like that kind of music. 'Other amazing locals are Cody Butler who was on as the Byron High showcase last year, and this year we are putting her on in her own right. Having said that we are stil doing the Byron High Showcase.' For those into a bit of Bluesfest nostalgia, there is a bit of a treat. 'We are going to bring Johnny Grey back from Rockinitis. Johnny used to be the lead guitarist in the Hawaiian House Wreckers who played the ﬁrst ever Blues Fest.' You'll also see Sara Tindley, and Bundjalung man, from Grafton, Troy Cassar Daley. The move to Belongil Fields this year means there is going to be room to move, 28 acres as opposed to the usual 8. With school holidays 2 weeks after the Easter weekend less punters than usual will be expected, so this could be the kind of Bluesfest that local punters have been pining for – one where you can stretch your legs and get an excellent possie in one of the new super-duper tents. Get your tickets now. It's an impressive program, check the website for details: www.bluesfest. com.au

ART – ONE WOMAN, THREE EXHIBITIONS About a year ago a friend challenged Jay Pearse to review the work she had created as a professional artist over the past 25 years and to choose, from the works she still had, her 25 favorite pieces to show in a mythical exhibition. That friend was Sabine Pinon and at that time she did not have a gallery…Sabine is now the curator of Waywood Gallery where Jay will be showing Reflections II solo exhibition. She is currently showing at Lismore Regional Gallery with The Most Easterly Point and has her solar etchings on show at the WinSIM Gallery on the Byron Industrial Estate. Reflections II are the works that Jay has handpicked from her private collection. The exhibition opens at Waywood on Friday, and for those who want the full experience of Jay's remarkable work, turn up Saturday at Waywood from 12.30 for an Art Lovers Outing – a bus trip that takes you to the three galleries where you can enjoy the diversity and depth of Jay's work. At 2pm, she also invites you to lunch with her at The Left Bank Cafe. Artists are generally such solitary creatures, it's a rare treat to be offered such an intimate experience with such a talented painter who's paintings reflect her own

backyard landscape of Byron and the more personal adjustments that she has faced since recently being widowed. For inquiries re exhibitions and the tour call Di Roberts 6685 9970 / 0439 620 041. FIRST SHOW FOR LOCAL MAN Local artist Mehar Maku is now exhibiting part of his ‘Tullyman’ series at the Happy Dolphin Café in Brunswick Heads. His art provokes mixed reactions from annoyance in some to pleasure in others. All paintings are for sale and will be on display during the month of March. Come in, have a coffee, and feel free to touch the painting ‘She of Stone’…you too may be annoyed. STAND UP COMEDY – MANDY NARCISSTIC NOLAN It's been 9 years since I ﬁrst performed my one woman show at the Melbourne Comedy Festival 'Bimbo'. It was a totally inappropriate title. I was a breastfeeding single mum of 2 kids. I've been meaning to go back ever since. But when you have kids, time just gets away from you. And then there's the worry, how will the Byron Shire get on without me for two weeks? What if there's an issue of The Echo that

comes out without me in it? Will it be the butterfly wing flap that changes the universal balance, tipping us into catastrophe? I have said my affirmations 'I am worthy of being funny', I have mangled my mantras, and I have honed an hour long show that features my best bits and greatest hits. There's also a few new wobbly bits that will need a bit of ironing out. Because I MC everything around here, I virtually never present a feature show, so I decided that before I hit Melbourne I should share an hour of Mandy with my favourite people. After all, if it wasn't for your years of unconditional love, your ability to forget my faux pas, celebrate my satire, and tolerate my downright rudeness, I would just be another opinionated loud mouth tart. The North Coast, in all its gory glory and colour has really been my inspiration, a constant source of ideas! Although there are times when I think, damn, you must have heard that, but like any long term relationship, I rattle on and you make all the right noises and let me think I've just told you for the first time. I am performing She'll Be Right, the hour show I will be presenting at the Melbourne Comedy Festival on Monday at the Byron Service's Club, Pandanus Lounge at 8pm. MC is Ellen Briggs and

#&"54 / #014 ULTRA CLEAR AND LOUD DJ MK Ultra has been around the hills and forests of NNSW for many full moons. Duncan has had his knees up on various muddy dance floors and probably has admired the break of dawn with some special effects countless times. Electronic music and dance culture became his game in India and his involvement and commitment nowadays tells of a green party perspective. Q: MK ULTRA, when did you start DJ-ing? A: ‘Back in 1994, I had just returned from a study trip to Goa and Himachal Pradesh. I was living in this beautiful valley (back in NSW) wondering how I could find the amazing electronic music I had heard in India when a neighbor turned up with a bunch of CD’s and said, ‘this would be a great place for a party’ the rest is history.... Electric Forest was born.’ Q: Where are you playing next? A: ‘The regrowth festival in the Southern Highlands during the Easter weekend, REGEN. It stands for Random Evolution of Growth, Entertainment and Nature. They are a beautiful bunch of people who love electronica and planting trees. I see a future in repairing forests and developing positive relationships with communities.’ Q: How do you see that future manifest? A: ‘The Sustainable Futures Forum is my initiative to start a constructive dialogue with State Forests NSW to forge a sustainable recreational use policy for future electronic dance events with the largest landholder in the region, and to protect our beautiful sites.’ Q: What do you want to get out of the Sustainable Futures forum? A: ‘Too many inexperienced promoters have fkkd up great outdoor sites by blowing it with the locals and land owners with poor ethics and management. Kids trashed on alcohol and ice, are also a liability. So the challenge is to find a sustainable future for

with Jackie Onassid

the culture so it can evolve in a positive direction with less harassment. The intention is to create a sustainable use policy and a template to act as a guide for event promoters wishing to hold events on State Forest land. A secondary effect will be the protection of desirable sites from misuse and degradation…’ A long term management plan with clear guidelines seems to be the focus point. The Sustainable Futures forum will be held at Grafton regional ofﬁce of SFNSW. Anyone interested in participating can contact MK ULTRA via BAY FM 6680 7999. Q: Have you got an opinion on the new Splendour site? A: ‘I planted trees there with my family as a token gesture. It is a great site and the only suitable one in the shire for large events. I support Splendour in principle and the people who want to party in Byron. Splendour means ‘great and magniﬁcent brightness’, that will either include the community, or lose its radiance altogether. I also think Splendour’s proposed $200,000 donation to community groups is more than tokenism...’ Q: What is DJ-ing to you? A: ‘I love the magic of feeding good energy into a crowd. It is the purest form of fun on the planet, and a huge buzz. I started writing music in 1996 and the journey has taken me from DJ-ing to live performance and two independent CD releases.’ Q: You host a show on BAY FM? A: ‘The Psy Phi show on Bay FM is an extension of that journey and it pays homage to the beautiful people and the music that connects us all to nature, ourselves and each other.

JUNE HORDEN AT CAFE COMEDY AT BANG THAI ON FRIDAY

support The Divishti is the support. show is $15 and all proceeds go to my self-produced Melbourne season! Bookings on 6684 3443 or tix at the club. FEISTY FEMMES FEATURE AT CAFE COMEDY Blondes may be said to have the most fun, but as cabaret performer and stand up comedian Divishti only too readily testiﬁes, Redheads deﬁnitely have the most attitude! New Zealand born Divishti is the Down Under version of Bette Midler. With a singing voice that could tear the heavens asunder and a wit that could slice onions, she's a force to be reckoned with. She has a powerful on stage personality. Divishti is joined by comedian June Horden, a woman who has waited until her seventies to take up standup. Originally a model, June is the archetypal ageing Barbie doll, a gorgeous satirical grandma goddess who has enormous fun with all the stereotypes and negativity around ageing. June has been knocking the socks off audiences lately and it is advised that audience members wear incontinence pads because you will literally wet yourself! Divishti and June Horden are this month’s feature comedians at Bang Thai's Cafe Comedy which makes a welcome return after a short summer hiatus. The Bang Thai presents The Big Joke Comedy Festival, and is committed to keeping audiences' laughing gear well toned and ready for action with their monthly comedy dinners. I am the MC, so you have a chance to get a bite to eat and catch 3 spectacularly mouthy women this Friday. Tickets are $35 and include a Bang Thai two course dinner and the show. Previous shows have sold out so book

early to avoid disappointment at the Urban / Bang Thai at 37 Byron Street, Bangalow or by calling the Café Comedy line on 6687 2000.

In just 6 weeks people from around the community learn the gentle art of standup comedy. It's a course that asks people to investigate how they feel about everything from their body to their relationships to their world. It is a scathing philosophical and sociological personal autopsy. The group numbers some 12 performers rangeing in age from early twenties to nearly seventy, with backgrounds and life experience as equally diverse. Mandy maintains that it is this mix, this amazing melting pot that creates good comedy. Catch the comic debut of these stars in the making at The Virgin Sacriﬁce, at the Byron Service's Club, Pandanus Lounge on Wednesday 19 March at 8pm. Mc is me, Mandy Nolan, tix are $10/15 and can be booked on 6684 3443.

STORY TELLING WORKSHOP – WISE GUYS The tale of ‘Vasilisa the Wise’ is an initiation story for women. It comes from the rich folklore of Eastern Europe, and features the fabulous and fearsome witch Baba Yaga. Vasalisa is given a doll by her dying mother.

When Vasalisa's stepmother sends her deep into the forest to bring back ﬁre from the hearth of Baba Yaga, the doll in her pocket guides her safely through the experience.

>>>CINEM A... 10,000 BC With good reason, you can get your knickers in a knot when a movie shows scant regard for historical fact. When it shows none whatsoever, you may as well take it at face value, sit back and enjoy or, as in this case, endure the silliness. There is this tribe of hunters and gatherers living on top of a barren hill, with snowy peaks as a backdrop. Dressed in furs and rags and with long matted hair, they look like Nimbin ferals, only with a better command of English. Odd how the past insists that people speak more slowly, enunciating every vowel and never saying ‘can’t’ when ‘can not’ is on offer. Among them is a blue-eyed girl with a Destiny, but she gets abducted by a mounted gang of low life marauders. Their vile leader snarls at the prospect of having his rapacious way with the helpless captive while his 2iC, whose left eye is one

of those opaque numbers reserved in cinema for homicidal ratbags, is even horribler. The girl’s boyfriend, D’leh, sets out to retrieve her, much as the Indian did in ‘Apocalypto,’ only this time with helpers, including tribal head, Kiwi Cliff Curtis. Out of the mountains, they immediately find themselves in a bamboo jungle, where they have a run-in with the bad guys. Kiwi Cliff gets speared, but D’leh fixes him by sticking a scalding stick of firewood on the wound – Kiwi Cliff doesn’t even flinch. D’leh then ducks off to get some food, but he falls in a deep hole, already occupied by a sabre tooth tiger that is trapped under the branch of a tree. It starts to pour and the big cat is near drowning, so he saves its life and makes friends with it. Just as well too, for he needs the iconic beast’s help when he encounters some Africans after emerging into the savannah. The black guys

turn out to be noble savages and, woe upon woe, their chief’s little boy has been stolen by the pillagers too. Bastards! They join up and the pursuit continues, taking them across a desert and seven-and-a-half thousand years of chronology to arrive at Giza, where the three pyramids are all being constructed concurrently. The blue-eyed girl is there and ... well, you can probably guess the rest, including who shafts whom in the slo-mo all-in. Pretty hopeless, but good effects and design. Loved the woolly mammoths. John Campbell

RUN FATBOY RUN How far will a man go to win back his gal? For Dennis, it’s twenty-six miles in this near-miss romantic comedy. Knowing that it was directed by David Schwimmer, Ross from ‘Friends,’ raises the old chestnut; are there clearly deﬁnable differences in American and British humour? Localism survives in TV, but generations of cross cultural activity between Britain and the US seems to have resulted in much cinema wit (and pop music) bobbing about in mid-Atlantic. This stars and is co-written by Englishman Simon Pegg,

who was similarly involved in the superior ‘Hot Fuzz.’ A polished comic actor with exquisite timing and delivery, his skills are heavily relied upon in getting the movie over the finish line. Set in London, Dennis is an overweight, smoking sap who five years earlier abandoned his pregnant fiancé Libby at the altar. He dotes on their son Jake and comes to the realisation that he is still in love with the boy’s beautiful mother (begging the question, how did he pull her in the first place?). Not surprisingly, she takes him for a tosser and is now attached to Whit, or Peter Perfect as Dennis jealously refers to him, a wealthy American whose passion is running marathons. A race is coming up and Dennis decides he’ll bring the usurper down a cog or two by competing in it. Side bets are made among his dissolute friends and the daughter of his Indian landlord presents him with the ultimatum that if he doesn’t go the distance he’ll be evicted. It’s hardly novel, but originality need not be a prerequisite for success if a film satisfies standard expectations. Schwimmer, however, has

Television Guide 1. A chance to see Shrek 2 again on NBN, Saturday at 7.30pm. 2. A disaster movie stinker called Earthquake 10.5 manages to make the prime- time slot on NBN on Sunday night. Tellurian friends assure us that a genuine 10.5 Richter scale reading on the west coast would drop the whole of the United States into the magma without a trace. 3. Jim Broadbent and Judi Dench are splendid in the bioﬂick Iris (Prime, Tuesday noon) about novelist Iris Murdoch. Local content alert: actor Paul Mercurio hosts a food and travel show on Prime (Sundays, 5.30pm) and this week Byron Bay is scheduled to be on the menu.

WITH VENUS AND MERCURY JOINING THE SUN IN PISCES, THE ZODIAC’S MELLOWEST SIGN FOR INTIMATE BUSINESS, MAKE THE MOST OF THIS WEEK’S TOGETHERNESS ENERGY WITH A ROMANTIC INTEREST, CLOSE FAMILY, SPECIAL FRIENDS OR CONNECTING WITH YOUR OWN DEEPEST PERSONAL DREAMS... ARIES: The downside of this week provides the ideal climate for working yourself into an emotional extravaganza – not a pretty picture, so remember the best way to get even is to forget. If you

TAURUS: The spesh kind of indulgent week Taurans love. Yes, other people’s behaviour might seem inexplicably bizarre and contradictory, but midweek Moon in your sign shines unexpected luck your way, bringing precisely the information or offer required for your next step.

could still cause emotional fallout. The soft rather than hard line, purring in preference to roaring and paw in the velvet glove instead of claws are all highly recommended. VIRGO: This week asks you to let the ﬁner things of life feed the inner you: theatre, music, creative pursuits, spending time with friends, doing your favourite things… but it does advise care in not making decisions based only on assumptions or someone else’s say so.

GEMINI: This week tugs you out of your head and into your senses, pulling your focus up close and personal rather than all about like trout. Your intuition’s spot on right now for making the right contacts and connections, but avoid getting caught up in power struggles.

LIBRA: Emotions have their own mad logic this week, which is one of the year’s most magical if you can think outside your usual routine and tune into it. You’ll get best results by following your curiosity and instincts rather than sticking to a structured plan.

CANCER: Your resistance to environmental elements – accidents, upsets, other people – isn’t at its strongest this week, so emotions could easily boil over from excited to uncontrollable. Boost your psychic immunity with optimism, humour and doing lots of what makes you feel good.

SCORPIO: As Piscean vibes tenderize that guarded, protective part of your heart, this week won’t be at all offended by your dramatic intensity – and expressing affection will have a delicious ripple effect that boomerangs back to you from unexpected directions. Deﬁnitely your week for turning heads.

LEO: While others will appreciate and admire what you’re on about, this week an overly dogmatic approach

SAGITTARIUS: A week best spent at home or where

you feel at home, which for Sagittarians is often outdoors. During emotional moments, doing something to beautify your surroundings will lift your spirits. Ask rather than push or go it alone and you’ll ﬁnd others willing to help. CAPRICORN: Stalemates may resolve of their own accord as this week’s shifting, swirling world brings unexpected changes in arrangements – giving you the opportunity to take another look at where you’re headed and ask yourself is that what you truly deeply madly want? AQUARIUS: The way people feel, or their explanations, mightn’t make sense to you right now so use empathy: imagine you’re in their situation. Think of it as space travelling. Something you’ve always wanted becomes available this week, and mightn’t be this close again for awhile. PISCES: The cosmic lottery hands you a winning ticket this week, dissolving a long time deadlock and kicking off a bright new cycle of opportunities. One of the year’s best periods for touchyfeely stuff and psychic insights backed by solid, practical results and feedback.

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

When the new world rankings are published at the end of this month, the name of Magnus Carlsen (pictured above) will appear in the top ten for the first time, and most likely among the top five. The rise of the 17-year-old Norwegian prodigy continues to amaze, Carlsen’s latest stellar performance coming at the Morelia/Linares tournament which concluded in Spain on Friday. After Carlsen’s victory at the elite Corus tournament in Wijk aan Zee in January many pundits were expecting a come-down at Linares, the so-

called ‘Wimbledon of Chess’. However, after a slow start in the Mexican half of the tournament, Carlsen won four games between rounds 7 and 12 to challenge the eventual winner Viswanathan Anand for first place. Shy and modest, Carlsen appears to be somewhat stunned by his own performance, as can be seen by the tournament videos on www. chessvibes.com. Carlsen is always reluctant to be critical of his esteemed rivals and talks mostly about correcting the errors in his own play. Certainly the teenager has enjoyed a remarkable run of luck in Linares, with his world class opponents making uncharacteristic blunders under pressure. Yet, lucky or not, Carlsen is performing at a historically high level never before seen

by a 17-year-old, including Bobby Fischer and Garry Kasparov. Carlsen’s most impressive feat in the recent tournament was defeating former FIDE World Champion Veselin Topalov 2-0: a smooth positional victory in their first encounter in Morelia and an eventful attacking game in Linares, given below. Linares 2008 White: M Carlsen Black: V Topalov Opening: English 1.c4 e5 2.Nc3 Nf6 3.Nf3 Nc6 4.d3 A quiet system, looking to transpose to a reversed Sicilian Defence. Topalov obliges. 4...d5 5.cxd5 Nxd5 6.e4 Nb6 7.Be2 Be7 8.0-0 0-0 9.a4!? Be6 10.Be3 Nd7 11.d4 exd4 12.Nxd4 Nxd4 13.Qxd4 c6 14.a5?! Too ambitious. After 14.Rad1 the position is equal. 14...Nc5 15.Qe5 Nb3 16.Ra4 Bd6 17.Qh5 g6 18.Qh6 Be5! Avoiding any 19.e5 and 20.Rh4 tactics. 19.Bg5?! An error, according to Carlsen. 19.f4 was stronger.

19...Qc7 20.Be3 Nxa5 21.f4 Bg7 22.Qh4 Bb3 After 22...b5! Black could occupy the c4 square and claim a clear edge. 23.Rd4!? Rad8 23...

But, with Topalov running short of time, decides to go for broke. 28...fxe5 29.Bg5 Qb6 30.f6 c4+ 31.Kh1 Qxb5 32.fxg7 Rxf1+ 33.Bxf1 Kxg7?! Rather careless. Topalov thinks that he will soon be a safe three pawns up but he has underestimated White’s attack. After 33...Qd7 34.Bh6 Nc6 35.Bxc4+ Bxc4 36.Qxc4+ Qf7 37.Qc1 Nd8! Black can claim a slight edge. 34.Bd8! Nc6?? 34...Qd5 35.Qe7+ gives White a draw but Topalov wants more. 35.Qf6+ Kg8 36.Qe6+ Kf8 This was the position Topalov had played for when capturing the g pawn on move 33, but he has missed a big trick. 37.Bg5!! 1-0 After 37...Kg7 38.Qf6+ Kg8 39.Bh6, Black cannot avoid checkmate. N Morelia/Linares final scores: 1. Anand (Ind) 8.5, 2. Carlsen (Nor) 8, 3-4. Topalov (Bul), Aronian (Arm) 7.5, 5. Radjabov (Aze) 7, 6. Ivanchuk (Ukr) 6.5, 7-8. Leko (Hun), Shirov (Spa) 5.5.

The Urkel Dance

Pants too long? Clothes don’t fit? Don’t throw them, alter them. The Urkel Dance – blame the 1990s TV sitcom Family Matters and its character Steve Urkel for the novelty ovelty dance invented in the episode ‘Life of the Party’. Based around Steve Urkel’s character it incorporated movements to make you more like him:

Nothing to wear, don’t despair – call Kris.

‘If you want to do the Steve Urkel dance, all you have to do is hitch up your pants, bend your knees, and stick out your pelvis; (I’m telling you, baby, it’s better than Elvis!)’ The actor who was Urkel, Jaleel White, played a talent booker in the 2006 Àlm Dreamgirls.

Understanding our youth

Unity

Byron Youth Service is currently seeking volunteer mentors to become involved in its mentoring program for High School students in the region. Now in its ﬁfth year of delivery, the ‘Well-being’ program is designed to help young people to explore vocational and life pathways. This year the program will coincide with NSW school terms. Time commitment to the program involves two hours a week and training is FREE!

Life is a spiritual journey of love and loss which we choose to celebrate and honour through ceremony and ritual.

The beneﬁts of being involved in mentoring are numerous. Mentors help young people navigate the often variable transition from child to adult. In addition, mentoring fosters a positive future for our community through the empowerment of our youth. Moreover, mentoring experiences tend to encourage young people to develop stronger bonds with their family, school and community.

With inspiration and authenticity, I bring warmth, and a feeling of joy and fulfilment, that delivers true meaning to all of my ceremonies.

If you would like to discover how you could become a fabulous mentor to a young person, BYS invites you to attend an Orientation on Wednesday 12th March from 4pm-5pm.

With integrity and passion, it is my honour to be your witness, to such intimate and special moments of love and loss. Weddings, funerals, namings, blessings. Please contact 0414 720 081 or 6680 5488

Bookings are essential so please contact BYS Audrey Fisher J.P. Registered Celebrant audreylfisher@hotmail.com

Unlimited with Vetrocolour applications

U more thanare just your mouth, teeth and gums

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

That’s why at the Byron Dental Centre, we take the whole body into account in relation to your dental treatment.

Vetrocolor ’s appeal is enhanced with the added protection of Diamond Fusion, a process which gives a hard coating to glass, providing resistance to harsh chemicals (around pool glass) and has myriad other applications where a quick ‘wipe over ’ replaces repetitive cleaning.

WWW LUSCIOUSFOODS COM

Victoria Cosford It must have been that Dorrigo mountain air that inspired the notion of potato salad â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that and the fact we had just purchased a bag of the local spuds from the big fruit barn just outside Bellingen. Dorrigo is, after all, one of the country's top potato growing areas; Dorrigo chats feature on cafĂŠ and restaurant menus. Out the car window as we wound our way ever mistily upward there were occasional glimpses of the rich red soil which presumably generates them. On holiday, I had come armed with only smoked salmon and respectable coffee, and a potato salad would be just the right accompaniment. I once did a Google search for potato salad recipes and one site listed a staggering 295, a ďŹ gure I guess is conservative in the extreme. Nearly everyone has their own (sometimes jealously guarded) version, and most countries of the world some variation on the theme. In a deli where I once worked it was our biggest seller and so in the coolroom there would be buckets of the stuff. Was it the mayo dressing, I used to muse to myself as I chopped endless lengths of green onions and celery and added them to the mountain of cooked potato cubes. Certainly the combination of creamy potato and creamy mayonnaise seems to yield the sort of comforting, soothing food experience which strikes a universal chord. And yet not all potato salads are mayonnaise-enriched â&#x20AC;&#x201C; there is the other 'branch' of them which uses a vinaigrette dressing. Good olive oil and a slurp of either red or white wine vinegar â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or even just white wine, with or without a gesture of mustard results in a superbly simple potato salad â&#x20AC;&#x201C; provided that it be ďŹ nished with a handful of the freshest chopped herbs (parsley, dill, mint...) Mustard is close to mandatory, it appears, regardless of the medium in which the potatoes are dressed; two other important points are the type of potato employed and the timing of the dressing. The potatoes must belong to the variety known as 'waxy' as opposed to 'ďŹ&#x201A;oury'. Floury ones, sometimes referred to as 'mealy', have a high starch

content and a low water content which means that when they are cooked they become ďŹ&#x201A;uffy and break up â&#x20AC;&#x201C; ideal, then, for mashing or for roasting or even for chips. What you want are the ones that retain their shape once cooked, the ďŹ rmtextured ones which are low in starch and high in water content. My favourites are kipďŹ&#x201A;ers followed closely by pink ďŹ r apples, and these two, in my opinion, make for the best potato salads. As for the timing of the dressing, it is best that it take place while the potatoes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; peeled, chopped or otherwise â&#x20AC;&#x201C; are still warm. I ďŹ nd tremendous satisfaction in denuding kipďŹ&#x201A;ers of their skins not long off the boil with a small sharp knife â&#x20AC;&#x201C; you can even just scrape them â&#x20AC;&#x201C; before slicing that creamy yellow ďŹ&#x201A;esh into diagonal discs then enveloping them into a prepared vinaigrette, preferably one including garlic. (Saffron is dramatic too.) Well. There we were back at the beach house with him in charge of the boiling and, as we'd agreed, me in charge of the ďŹ nished product. I had hand-whisked a garlicky yellow mayo, thinly sliced red onion, roughly chopped some shrill green dill. When he pronounced the potatoes ready I was appalled: they were cooked beyond belief, mushy and semi-mashed, and they would not, for the purposes of my potato salad, do at all. And there he was staring at my reaction uncomprehendingly, and explaining that no I had it wrong, and that onions should not feature anyway, and where were the walnuts he had intended... It wasn't exactly a coming-to-blows, but it was a coming-to-realisation for me that one person's idea of a potato salad may be wildly distinct from another's â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or just that we shouldn't try to cook together. The smoked salmon was gorgeous.

Blue Cheese Creme Caramel, one of the signature dishes of Colin Bond, Head Chef at dish restaurant in Byron Bay. Ingredients/creme caramel 500ml milk 500ml thickened cream 1 vanilla bean 125g blue cheese (add more according to taste and strength of cheese) 6 egg yolks 3 whole eggs 190g sugar Ingredients/rum caramel 250g sugar 200ml water 60 ml rum 8 dariolle moulds To make the caramel; caramalise the sugar and 100ml of the water in saucepan until the sugar cooks and goes a caramel colour. Take off the heat and add the rum plus another 100ml water, be very careful when pouring in these ingredients. Pour caramel into your moulds only about 3ml deep, and set aside in fridge till caramel cools. You could add rum soaked raisins to the caramel as we do at 'dish'.

RECIPE OF THE WEEK

To make the custard bring the milk and cream just to a simmer with the vanilla bean sliced down the middle, add the blue cheese by putting a bit in at a time. You may have to add more according to the richness, and remember more ďŹ&#x201A;avour will come out when we add the sugar. Set cream aside to cool slightly Whisk together egg yolks, whole eggs and sugar until well combined, whisk in cream base over eggs untill well incorporated, allow mixture to cool and pass through a ďŹ ne sieve and onto your caramel base. Cook creme caramels in a warm water bath, in the oven at 100o celcius for 40-60 minutes until caramels are set. Allow creme caramels to set at least 8 hours in the fridge, make a day before a dinner party for best results. We serve our creme caramels with port poached pear, almond praline and a tuille biscuit, but recommend serving them with any poached seasonal fruit. The sweetness in the fruit really marries well with the ďŹ&#x201A;avour of the creme caramel and balances everything out nicely.

Sports Roundup with Eve Jeffery

results@echo.net.au

Monkey see, monkey do… John Campbell I tuned in to 94.5 on the dial the other day for my weekly dose of ABC Grandstand. A young woman by the name of Kim Crow was being interviewed after her selection in Australia’s rowing team for the Beijing Olympics. Upon being introduced she said ‘thanks very much for having me.’ Kim then went on to talk about herself without drawing breath, displaying with absolute certainty the belief that the entire world is as obsessed with the minutiae of her career as she is. It’s a mandatory attribute for successful people in most walks of life, but particularly in competitive sport – how else to rise above the pack? But it was that initial expression of gratitude that appealed. You hardly hear it anymore. I was reminded of it when the news broke that some rugby league players had been involved in a shooting incident in Kings Cross after Origin star Mark Gasnier was refused entry into the Vegas Hotel at 4 am (he’s all class). It was asking too much, I suppose, for the gunman to have been Harbajhan Singh, the Indian cricketer who did so much to keep the Great

Unwashed’s mind off the game and on the controversy during the summer of cricket. Aping the behaviour for which his hosts are notorious, his feud with Ponting, Hayden and Symonds threatened to descend to the bloody enmity of the Hatﬁelds and McCoys. The Turbanator’s presence that night on Sydney’s mean streets with a smoking barrel would have been only ﬁtting. Bhaji is now back in The Punjab, and I was going to say that I’ll miss his hubris

and his pea-brained antics. Then I looked at what other footy blokes have been up to and was able to relax in the knowledge that Ms Crow’s manners will remain an aberration for at least the next six months. If early indications are anything to go by, we are in for a bumper crop of assaults (apologists and spin meisters opt for ‘fracas’) followed by scripted and disingenuous statements of remorse. Before a ball was kicked in the trials, we had Lee Tama-

ari and Ben Rogers of the Bulldogs behaving like Neanderthals outside a Wollongong nightclub (what with blueing footballers and rooting councillors, the Gong certainly is a happening place these days) and Souths’ David Fa’alogo king hitting some Yank at a taxi rank when on the Bunnies’ Florida junket. And so they’ve carried on, pummelling the heads of bouncers and innocent bystanders with gay abandon – and I use the term

deliberately, for these boys love nothing better than to parade around in lippy and drag on their turps-soaked end of season bacchanals. Nor are the leagueies on their own. The rah rahs seriously unappealing Matt Henjack smashed the jaw of one of his own teammates (‘what are you looking at mate’) and, surely a first, AFL champion of yesteryear, Wayne Carey, managed to be arrested in both Melbourne and the US in the same week for allegedly beating his female companion. When it comes to the knuckle, it appears Carey prefers the softer target. Sadly, you can bet London to a brick on that for every incident reported, there is at least another one hushed up. Invar iably, g rog is involved, with the consumption of two dozen schooners being euphemistically described as ‘having a drink with the boys,’ the indeﬁnite article hiding a blight of contemporary society. We are a pissed nation, but drunkenness is only the doorway through which the drongoes stampede. It is hero worship, for which the media must take much of the blame, which creates in them the belief that they

need not be held accountable for their actions. They have become a law unto themselves, gobbling up by the bucketload all the clichéd tosh that comes their way from slavish hacks, image consultants, agents, managers and their personal coterie of ego masseurs and running dogs. A cat may no longer look at a queen. The behaviour of sport celebrities, or elite professional athletes as they’d rather be called (oh for another C R Miller to tell the TV audience, as ‘Funky’ so refreshingly did, ‘I’m no professional athlete, I’m a cricketer’) is, frankly, on the nose. As a little cacker, I sprinted frantically across Henson Park to get my idol’s autograph. I didn’t just look up to him, I tucked-in the collar of my jersey as he did, tried to run like him and once, after seeing him injured, began limping like him. I wonder if Harbhajan, Gasnier, Carey and the rest of today’s crop of indulged boneheads ever consider how their demeanour might influence impressionable young minds. A lesson in humility from Kim Crow might be a good ﬁrst step in getting them to wake up to themselves.

Riverside tennis is all about Tuesdays

What gossips and giggles, chuckles and chats, and spends Tuesday mornings leaping around in runners while swinging a tennis racquet about the place? No it’s not the year nine PE class from Mullumbimby High School, but the Riverside Tennis Club’s Tuesday Ladies group. The social ladies club which has been meeting almost every week since the club was established in 1946, currently has about twenty members and the ladies are always happy to welcome more players. The group, who meet every Tuesday, have structured the matches to suit all levels of play. ‘We like to make sure everyone has a fair go,’ says member Barbara Campbell, ‘We do play to grades but we mix it up a bit so everyone gets a good game.’ The ladies play competition tennis from February to December and have purely social play over the summer to keep their hands in. The girls love their tennis but are not fanatical. ‘We are not too serious,’ says Barbara

Mullumbimby Giants Junior Rugby League The Mullum Giants season starts this Saturday with a home game against Tugun.

Enquires can be made to Jeff Thomas, 6684 1184. Go The Giants!

The small town club plans to keep heading that way each year and continue growing stronger as a team. The club would like to thank competitors Tom Franklin, Jamie Nicholson, Paul Brown, Jeremy Bennet, Dylan Connors, Ben Webber, Corey Strickland and Trent Foreman for surﬁng for the club.

due to the small number of teams competing, they will bypass and head straight to the NSW State PSSA Swimming Championships in Homebush next month, along with teams from Corndale PS and Wiangaree PS. The swimmers in the relay team are Isaac Chambers, Jaya Shipley-Smith, Daoluka Johnson and Carson King. The school is currently fundraising to help cover the costs of this trip to Sydney. After recent great performances, Ocean Shores swimmers Sam Plater and Tristan Ludlow have good reason to smile. The boys have made a clean sweep winning their respective age divisions at school, district, zone and regional carnivals. The Ocean Shores boys who are trained by Adrian Filipic were back in Byron Pool again this week training for their state swim in April.

News Extra

Private certifying: the shape of things to come? Jann Gilbert When Judy Beavis took her usual walk to the beach one morning through the dunes at the back of her house she noticed a stormwater pipe protruding onto the hind dune area from a neighbouring house that was being redeveloped. As a long-time resident of beachside Alcorn Street and former member of Dune Care Judy is aware that it’s acceptable practice for stormwater from the area to drain into the hind dunes because there isn’t enough fall on that side of the street to get it into the stormwater system. However she also knows (and this was conﬁrmed by Council) that the stormwater is supposed to drain into a gravel sump pit

located on the property (usually at the rear boundary) and then disperse gradually into the dunal system behind. This avoids any erosion of the dunal system from freeﬂowing stormwater. Judy could ﬁnd no evidence of the gravel pit either at the rear of the property or on the hind dune and, in response to her enquiries, the builders at various times said they had put one in or were going to. ‘But they’ve already had the bobcat in. If they’ve put in a gravel pit then it certainly isn’t on the property, and that’s where it’s meant to be. And there’s no gravel on the hind dune either. The water is simply pouring out onto the dune,’ says Judy. It’s obvious from the chan-

nel carved down the bank of the hind dune that the unimpeded flow of water from the pipe (which extends well beyond the rear boundary of the property) has the ability to cause erosion, particularly with heavy falls of rain over an extended period of time. It’s also likely to impact on the amount of water that collects in the gully between the dunes, which is already prone to flooding. This would appear to be in direct contravention of Council’s Development Control Plan (DCP) 2004, Part N: Stormwater Management N3.3, which states that ‘any connections to a natural watercourse must be designed so that the receiving watercourse has sufficient capacity to cater for the

additional flow without adversely affecting upstream or downstream flooding’ and ‘that adequate measures are provided to prevent stream bank erosion, scour and other damage for flows up to the 100 years ARI event.’ In response to enquiries from The Echo, Byron Shire Council’s Director of Asset Management Services Phillip Holloway said that the property did have DA approval for works on site but Council officers had not been directly involved with the works because it was being privately certified. And it’s this aspect that particularly bothers Judy. ‘Is this what we can expect with private certifiers?’ says Judy. ‘Council have no involvement with the build-

ing so how can they know what’s going on? By the time the Council come to approve the works they’ll have covered over the pipe.’ Indeed, even sooner. By last Friday afternoon the channel down the hind dune had been filled with sand and the end of the pipe covered. No doubt, however, the next downpour that eventually finds its way into the pipe and onto the dune will change all that. When asked what action Council was taking regarding the issue Mr Holloway said, ‘The matter has been referred to our compliance officers who will be requested to investigate the stormwater discharge arrangements and if non-compliant will take appropriate action.’

Prostate Cancer Meeting

Given the fact that Council is simply piggy-in-themiddle and not the certifier responsible for the works there isn’t really anything else they can do. More disturbingly, unless situations like this are brought to the notice of compliance officers, they are likely to go entirely unnoticed. Unfortunately the changes to planning legislation proposed by the Minister Frank Sartor give even wider powers to private certifiers and further undermine the authority of local government (this makes things so much easier for developers). If Mr Sartor’s changes are legislated, chances are, there’ll be more than just stormwater issues to deal with.

cial mention at the inaugural festival by kids for kids. Stay tuned for a fundraiser screening to be held in early April at the Drill Hall. Q Q Q Q Kevin Rudd says he never smoked cannabis. Now there’s a surprise. Q Q Q Q Mullum resident Peggy Balfour poses some pertinent questions: ‘After say 20 years in parliament, some politicians will be retiring soon on a pension of around $130,000 a year from the public purse. Many old age pensioners retire after 50 years in the workforce and are subject to a means test (introduced by Paul Keating). Will retired politicians be subjected to a means test? If politicians can retire, take on another paid job, and retain their full pension, why not the same for old age pensioners?’ Yes, Prime Minister, why not?

Last Saturday locals participated in the World Naked Bike Ride, which has noble aims other than getting your gear off – see www.worldnakedbikeride.org.

Q Q Q Q And overall, whether male or female, the majority of Australians continue to put in extra hours at work only to receive no extra money, with 79 per cent claiming they are not being paid for overtime, a NEWS.com.au survey has revealed. Of those who

worked overtime, on average they worked an extra 10.5 hours in one week, up one hour from the last survey conducted in May 2007. What’s wrong with this picture? Q Q Q Q Why is it so hard for Council planning staff to identify the owners of land being considered for development? A large report on a village development proposal at West Byron, which required an ‘applicant-initiated’ Development Control Plan, fails to easily identify who owns the land. And does the word ‘village’ make it seem more friendly? Q Q Q Q Mullumbimby Community Action Group has been
