2008: A Blues Fest odyssey

Lights out for Earth Hour

Jann Gilbert I set sail among a sea of people, all intent on the same course. They’re heading for a musical Mecca, to dance and writhe, experience the ecstasy (with or without artificial assistance) and commune with their favourite (or soon to be) melodious demi-god. This year it’s a different path but many of the same feet, and plenty of new ones or the re-initiated, religiously tread it. Programs are studied, along with the sky that is hung with high, dark clouds. Despite the prevalence of gumboots, and Mecca’s rainy reputation, the heavens hold back and many devotees bear witness to a Welcome to Country that’s set against a blazing sunset backdrop. It’s official; the pilgrimage has begun. For the next four days more than 15,000 novitiates tread the path to Mecca each day. Fairies in tutus, parents dragging children and children dragging parents, diaphanous girls with sequinned eyes and fedoras, blind men and their dogs, straw-hatted, be-thonged and crocfooted disciples, and time-trapped devotees from the 70s wearing high pants, bare chests and vests – they all come, wearing a look of blissful anticipation, and leave sated. Surprisingly, the pilgrimage is without the usual traffic chaos and many of the other not-so-entertaining elements that accompany it. It’s the new Mecca and it seems to work for almost everyone. If only this poor observer had a dollar for every time someone asked, ‘why isn’t this the permanent festival site?’, she’d be a wealthy woman. The crowd revels in the spaciousness of the new Mecca, so much so that, at first, many of the lost souls need to ask directions. But they’re quickly back on the right path, and Diana and Rae and the other tirelessly patient volunteers at the info booth spend much of their time happily reuniting the brethren with their (untouched) wallets, keys and mobile phones.

Byron Shire Council is urging residents to participate in Earth Hour 2008 by switching off their lights and other energy consuming devices between 8pm and 9pm on March 29. Mayor Jan Barham said reducing greenhouse emissions is a shared responsibility and local residents can help make a difference. ‘However, I encourage Shire residents to go beyond the Earth Hour event and make ongoing changes by becoming more conscious about energy use on a daily basis.’ Last year Council was one of the ﬁrst non metropolitan councils to support Earth Hour, and this year many more have joined in. A recent study by the University of Chicago revealed that in order to make a substantial difference for Earth Hour people should delay as many energy consuming activities until after peak energy demand periods between 6pm - 8pm by, for example, turning on the dishwasher before they go to bed rather than immediately after dinner. Other effective energy saving tips include turning appliances off at the wall instead of leaving on standby mode and investing in solar hot water heating. Council’s Sustainability Ofﬁcer Graeme Williams said that Council is about to finalise its revised Greenhouse Action Strategy which is designed to assist Council and the wider Byron Shire community implement practical projects to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Council also has a dedicated area on its website to promote Sustainable Living and provides information all year round to encourage individual action. See more at www.byron.nsw.gov.au/Sustainability. To calculate out how much energy you use, undertake an online energy audit, such as that found at www.nabers.com.au/ home.aspx.

It’s easy to see how they become separated. There’s so much music, they’re driven to distraction. Even the visiting demi-gods in the VIP tent are reeling; it’s a veritable feast. On day one, when Keith Urban comes on stage, the female disciples go wild. There’s a collective nod of understanding for Ms Kidman’s taste in men. No doubt about it, you’d pick Keith over Mum’s lamb roast every time. He looks, sings and plays like an angel. Next day, and Jeff Lang wakes a chilled-out afternoon crowd from their half-slumber. He’s got a big Confederate beard, an even bigger voice, and a wicked guitar that reels out across the crowd. They’re on their feet; toe-tapping, handclapping and captivated. By the time Seasick Steve takes the stage water has made way for liquid amber and other intoxicating nectar of the gods. The disciples are ﬂoored by his homemade, one-string ‘ge-tar’ and his Alabama sense of humour. As Steve from Byron says, ‘It’s cool as. About as grass roots as you can get.’

Later that night I’m being led up the holiest of paths that leads backstage. Front of stage, Sinead O’Connor and her band have the sea of devotees enthralled. The stage lights filter through the crowd and an unforgettable violin with a flute for a friend drifts along with it. Nothing compares. Backstage, it’s a different story. Amp stacks, instruments, and mikestands that look oddly like flamingos waiting in the wings, proliferate. A cast of anonymous but relevant thousands hurry back and forth intent on their work and, in some cases, keeping their pants up.They’re mostly thin, wiry, and they’re wiring everything for sound. Nobody would be here without them. It’s day four and the devotee’s steps are slowing but not their enthusiasm. There’s so much still to hear. Guy Davis astonishes the congregation with his lightning lips and 60-a-day, gravelly voice. Who would have thought you could make so many sounds with your mouth and a harmonica? Meanwhile, on separate stages, both Chris Wilson and John Hiatt

conﬁrm they are still the masters of the heart-gripping, painfully ordinary ballads of life, and Rodrigo and Gabriela send hips swirling like dervishes with their fast and furious Mexican guitars. But it’s when Gotye comes on that the energy communes with the divine. He’s playing a computer and the devotees, crammed to capacity, are screaming their approval. It’s a new age of music and he’s already the master. It’s hard to believe that ‘Wally’ is the only one on stage, commanding the throng with his talent and haunting Sting-like voice. Like dots on a bromide, desperate to connect, he’s bringing them all together. When it’s over, the ﬂock reluctantly move away still drenched in the glow of the performance. Despite the grubby feet and hoarse throats, they’re tired but content. This is what they came to see: this and a list of other music luminaries too numerous to mention. They came to live, breath, eat and sleep music. And they were not disappointed.

Birdie Girls in full ﬂight for Relay Story & photo Lou Beaumont The Birdie Girls, a group of friends and keen golfers captained by Denise Cole, are one Relay for Life team going out of their way to enjoy themselves for a good cause. In addition to taking part in the relay itself this weekend, the ladies have been busy holding garage sales, rafﬂes, and curry nights among other things. Their latest fundraising effort was a bingo morning at their club, the Ocean Shores Country Club. So far, the team has raised $4,000 of a personal target of $5,000, and that isn’t counting the bingo event. Relay for Life will begin this weekend at 3pm on Saturday at the Mullumbimby Football Grounds. The entertainment kicks off with the Spaghetti Circus, the Mullumbimby School Choir, Country Women’s Association choir, a Tug-of-War, head shaves, Helen Jarvis, the Mick Gooley Band, Ray Essery and the Russell Shaw band to name a few.

Cane toad survey ﬁnds more than pests Wildlife rangers took to roads, tracks and trails last month to determine the distribution of cane toads in national parks and other key areas throughout the Northern Rivers region from Evans Head to Tweed and west to Kyogle. Funded by the Northern Rivers Catchment Management Authority the second annual survey for cane toads found more than just the unwelcome pest, with a number of endangered species also recorded, including the Giant Barred Frog and a Fleay’s Barred Frog. National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) Pest Management Officer Lisa Wellman said it’s great to see native species still hanging on in these areas but it is

important to get a better understanding of where cane toads are. ‘The survey focussed on national parks and our efforts were concentrated on the invasion front and not in areas where we already know there are toads,’ she said ‘Cane toads readily migrate along roads, so the survey method was designed to take advantage of the toad’s laziness. ‘One new area where cane toads were found this year is the northern part of Bundjalung National Park, near Evans Head. ‘We are now looking at options to reduce cane toads in this area which may include trapping. ‘As with last year’s survey cane toads were again

detected in Border Ranges, Mebbin, Nightcap, and Mount Jerusalem national parks and Yarringully nature reserve. ‘A trapping program is already in place in Nightcap National Park and will soon be expanded into other areas, along with manual control. ‘Cane toads are a threat to biodiversity, particularly in areas such as the Border Ranges and Nightcap national parks, which are renowned for their native

frog populations, including threatened species. ‘Other threatened species found on the survey included a number of family groups of yellow-bellied gliders, sooty owls, koalas, one rufous bettong and one red-legged pademelon.’ NPWS is encouraging people to control cane toads on their properties.

Greer delights a packed house Jann Gilbert The matriarch of Australian feminism Germaine Greer left no doubt that her wit is still as sharp as a stiletto when she entertained, enlightened and enlivened a packed house at the Community Centre onTuesday last week. Speaking about her latest book, Shakespeare’sWife, and the enormous amount of research that went into it, Greer treated the audience to some rollicking as well as shocking tales of Elizabethan England, Oxford scandals,

and the status of wives, past and present. In contrast to the mainstream media’s portrayal of Greer (which is more akin to

Local bands to entertain at Brunswick Heads A lineup of local bands will take the stage at the soundshell in Terrace Park, Brunswick Heads on the evening of Saturday April 5. Organised by The Greens and supported by local businesses, the Sounds Unlimited event is part of the ongoing commitment to support young people by giving them an

outlet for their creativity and entertainment. The event will be free for the bands and the audience, and there will be a cash prize for the winning band. Bands can register to play in Sounds Unlimited up until March 31 by contacting Giovanni Ebono on Giovanni@ebono. com.au or 6684 6202.

Local businesses donated so many prizes to the Karaoke in the Housie Shed over the Christmas and New Year weekends that the Byron Ballina Greens had sufﬁcient funds to put on another event. Organiser Michele Grant said she wanted to support older musicians in bands.

She noted that the New Years Eve event, helped by wet weather, had been instrumental in avoiding the excesses of previous end-ofyear parties at Brunswick Heads. ‘One toilet was blown up, but we were right onto it and the boys took their home-made bombs elsewhere,’ she said.

Farewell to Blanche Reynolds Lou Beaumont Lifelong north coaster and Wanganui legend Blanche Reynolds died on Friday March 14, 2008. Born in 1910, in West Maitland on September 22, Blanche was 97 years old. She was the oldest and longest standing resident of the Wanganui hills. A mother to seven children (ﬁve surviving), Peter and Clarrie Reynolds, Joan Henstock, Zita Baker, Angela Fitzgibbon and the late Tom Reynolds, Blanche is dearly remembered as a woman who was strong, independent to the end and a person of kind nature who never thought ill of anyone. Daughter Joan elaborates: ‘She would make statements like “don’t say anything bad about anyone because you don’t know what it is like until you have walked in their shoes” and when someone did do something out of the ordinary mum would never criticise but just say that they were “a harmless innoffensive poor creature”.’ Blanche witnessed many interesting periods during her 97 years, including both World Wars, the Great Depression and the appearance of Halley’s Comet twice, once in 1910 and again in 1986.

Born in West Maitland in 1910, Blanche spent her young life on the move, living in a tent with her parents and siblings alongside the railway her sleeper cutter father was constructing from Maitland to Telegraph Point near Kempsey. Eventually they ended up in Grafton and then onto Tweed Heads where it was that Blanche met her late husband Peter Reynolds. Peter and Blanche Reynolds moved to Murwillumbah in 1947 but after three

ﬂoods in as many years they decided to move to higher ground. It was then that Blanche realised her dream of owning her own property, and she and her husband settled in Huonbrook in 1957 on 165 acres of spectacular scenery and complete serenity. The Reynolds’ Wanganui farm is now closer to 135 acres after subdivision at either end of the property. For a number of years a section of the property was used

by the Wanganui Cricket Club which was named ‘Blanche’s Oval’. To maintain her dream of owning her land, Blanche supplemented her income by spending long hours catching ticks for serum research. She would watch the weather in her eagerness for the tick season to begin and when it did she would roam her land with catching blankets and jars. She kept this up until she was at least 80 years old. Peter Reynolds had died of a heart attack in 1978 but widow Blanche remained solely devoted to her farm. She lived at Wanganui for 51 years and it was in her house that she passed away. Staunchly independent right to the end, Blanche declined offers to stay with her children. Son Clarrie told The Echo, ‘She wanted to die up there, she loved her place. She couldn’t have stayed there as long as she did if it weren’t for the fact that she had extremely good neighbours and friends, especially her tenant Peter Sladdin, who would check in on her daily.’ Blanche leaves behind a long line of descendants. In addition to the ﬁve children that survive her, she has thirteen grandchildren, ﬁfteen great grandchildren and six great great grandchildren.

Writersfest launched with sponsors party The countdown to the last weekend of July has begun: the Byron Bay Writers Festival 2008 was joyfully launched on Thursday 20 March with a party to thank sponsors supporting the twelfth annual Festival. Chairperson Chris Hanley thanked all present in body and spirit, noting that it is only because of tangible support from sponsors that this Festival can continue to ﬂourish.

Early Bird discounted 3-Day and Kids Passes have been released to coincide with the sponsors launch. Major themes of the program to emerge thus far include ‘You saw them ﬁrst at Byron Bay’, celebrating the brave new wave of Australian writing with authors publishing across all genres. Pornography will be under the microscope, together with the way in which the media manipulates our chil-

dren and the sexualisation of young girls. Family memoir and biography is a key element of the program and festival director Jeni Cafﬁn said, ‘In 2008 we have persuaded some very prominent people to join us at the festival to rattle the skeletons in their closets. Expect to be confronted and jolted out of your comfort zone.’ Chief Executive of World Vision Australia, Tim Cos-

tello, will provide an opening night address. Mr Costello has long been a social conscience for many Australians and is one of Australia’s 100 National Living Treasures. Following him centre stage on opening night will be Dr Shashi Tharoor. Their addresses will be repeated to Festival attendees on the morning of Friday July 25.

Jann Gilbert When Kate Moscatelli and Sophie McGregor signed up for the 2008 Brunswick Heads Green Corps Team they had no idea of the sort of adventure they were setting out on. Leaving their hometown of Inverell in their not-sotrusty vehicle the young women were on a search ‘for something bigger and better and brighter in Byron Bay’. ‘We initially joined Green Corps to give a helping hand to our environment and take a step into a new lifestyle; meeting new people and having the opportunity to experience completely different situations,’ says Kate. However, neither Kate nor Sophie imagined that the move and the program would have such a profound impact on them. ‘It’s just six weeks into the program and we’ve already seen things that have both shaken us and blown us away,’ says Kate. ‘What started as a whim to come here and work as a greenie because it sounded random and adventurous has honestly developed into a great appreciation of all the amazing aspects of the bush and the many ways we can strive to regenerate and preserve what we have left.’

For the past six weeks Kate, Sophie and the rest of the team of 10 enthusiastic young people aged 17 to 20 have been training with EnviTE NSW, the coordinator of the Green Corps program, and partners in the project, Brunswick Valley Landcare and Suffolk Park Dune Care. So far that has included a formal induction, OH&S and First Aid training, and an introduction to the work sites and environmental studies. The team’s training continues throughout the six-month program to complement the work they will be carrying out on site. Trainers for the team, including Team Leader Tony Owen from EnviTE, Judy MacDonald from Brunswick Valley Landcare and Helen Brown from Suffolk Park Dune Care, have all been impressed by the group’s rapidly-expanding knowledge and abilities, not to mention their sense of humour in the face of some of the challenges environmental work presents. ‘This group is fantastic,’ says Helen Brown. ‘They go above and beyond what you ask them to do, and they keep on going. I have to stop them every so often, particularly with their Bitou bash-

ing, and say, come on, five minutes break, remember to breathe!’ With much valuable environmental work already completed through the program but also much to be done, its continuation has been vital to many local environmental groups. ‘We couldn’t exist without EnviTE and the Green Corps programs,’ says Helen Brown. Judy MacDonald agrees. ‘We really appreciate what the team do on the ground and how they help. I don’t know where we would be [without them] because we have so many projects and so few resources,’ says Judy. However it’s not only the environment that benefits from successive team’s hard work.

The Brunswick Heads group is EnviTE’s forty-first Green Corps team which, as General Manager Graham Bird says, is a significant milestone for EnviTE itself. ‘We’re the only organisation that has continued the Green Corps program since its inception,’ says Graham. The 2008 Brunswick Heads Green Corps team will focus its attention on habitat and dune restoration and protection at Suffolk Park, rainforest repair at Yallakool Reserve, and indigenous planting and a boardwalk at Cavvanbah Beach. Byron Bay Herb Nursery will also benefit from the planting of windbreaks and landscaping works on the site. As for Kate and Sophie, they’re just keen to get on with their work and their adventure. ‘We’re just really enjoying what we’re doing at the moment,’ says Sophie. ‘At first I wasn’t sure if it was really for me but now, I know we made the right choice. And we’re beginning to learn that you really can make a difference, one Bitou at a time.’

Local News Cuts threaten environment Projects which protect threatened species, control weeds and manage our bushland are under threat because of federal government cuts to funding. The Local Government and Shires Associations of NSW has called for the federal government to reinstate funding for the Local Government Natural Resource Management Facilitator Network. The funding is currently used to employ staff to help councils coordinate and implement natural resource management projects and programs. ‘Natural Resource Management (NRM) includes a

variety of environmental protection projects such as weed control, bushland management and threatened species protection,’ Acting President of the Local Government Association of NSW, Cr Leo Kelly said. ‹Councils have significant NRM knowledge and experience, and the announcement by the Federal Government will impact on the coordination and implementation of these programs. ‘In particular, councils have fostered relationships with catchment management authorities to ensure a regional approach to managing natural resources.’

Residents not happy about campers Photo & story Jann Gilbert Neil Cameron of Suffolk Park believes that illegal campers in beach car parks have become so proliﬁc they now outnumber the bush turkeys. ‘On any given night in Byron, especially on weekends, there would be up to 100 campervans or cars illegally parking overnight,’ says Neil. As a long-time member of the surﬁng community Neil is often out early in search of a wave and, along with his surfing buddies, has seen ‘rows of vans lined up’ at Broken Head, Suffolk Park, Seven Mile and many other car parks on the beachfront. This is despite signage that expressly forbids camping or parking overnight. As if to illustrate the problem, last week at the Clifford Street car park, right next to the caravan and camping ground, four vans lined up for the evening and their occupants proceeded to make themselves right at home. ‘They use the showers and other amenities, all at ratepayers’ expense,’ says Neil. As travellers they may be on a tight budget but the $25 per night for a powered site at the caravan park next door is hardly a king’s ransom.

A happy camper at Gaggin Park, Suffolk Park, conveniently parked beside a Council sign that forbids camping or parking overnight.

One of Neil’s surfing buddies got so irate about the problem he took matters into his own hands. Donning a mock ranger’s outfit, ‘he woke them all up, knocked on the van doors and shone a torch in the window telling them all to move on or risk being fined. This was at about 5.30 in the morning at Broken.’ The car park at Broken Head is also right next to a caravan and camping ground. Alcorn Street resident, Rob Hoskins, who is an early morning dog walker and whose property borders a beach car park, confirms Neil’s reports. ‘Friday afternoon there was a whole group of them there with chairs and tables. They light bonfires on the beach, they urinate and defecate in the dunes. I leave notes on the windows saying

that I’ve taken their registration number and will be reporting them to the ranger if they camp there again,’ says Rob. According to both Neil and Rob it’s not just an issue at Easter or other holiday times but all year round. Part of the problem, Rob believes, is inadequate signage. ‘We need really large signs that make it clear to people that they will be ﬁned if they’re caught camping overnight. And then they need to actually be ﬁned,’ says Rob. One suggestion is to enlist the help of the campervan rental companies and have fines deducted from the bond of the vehicle (just as speeding or other traffic offences would be). Hopefully, this would spread the word among travellers that

they will pay the price for camping illegally. Unfortunately, it also assumes that we have enough rangers on duty to write the ﬁnes in the ﬁrst place. Due to the Easter break, a spokesperson from Byron Shire Council could not be contacted for comment on the issue, and the ranger on duty declined to speak to The Echo. It’s a pity really, I would have liked a comment on the 55 vehicles I counted during a 5am reccy of the beach car parks from town to Broken Head. Given that I only included campervans and cars that obviously had people sleeping in them, it’s quite likely that Neil’s estimate of 100 per night is not so far from the mark. Next question is, what do we do about it?

Lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just one pitch after another Jann Gilbert Kamahl Druesne is getting closer to fulďŹ lling the dream of completing his ďŹ lm, Collective Moments of Madness, one pitch at a time. After winning the Screenworks Lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a Pitch competition in December last year Kamahl recently took his project to the Australian International Documentary Conference (AIDC) in Perth, compliments of his $2000 prize from Screenworks, and won there as well. The AIDC is the largest documentary conference in Australia. It offers participants in the documentary ďŹ lm and broadcasting industry the opportunity to meet and network with industry members from Australia and overseas. There are also master classes and forums on everything from cameras to how to present your project, which helps to build a sound knowledge base particularly for newcomers to the industry. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like a Documart,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; says Kamahl. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;A three-day market place with commissioning editors, distribution agents, buyers, sellers, hopefuls and wannabees from Australia and all over the world.

or post-production, or to find buyers for finished projects.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Not so much a ďŹ lm fest as a talk fest, Kamahl was overwhelmed at the amount of talking that went on, especially over coffee and cake. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how the commissioning editors put up with it all day,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; says Kamahl. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re bailed up on their way to the toilet or getting a sandwich. It must drive them mad.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Ultimately, the conference was a great learning experience for Kamahl, and an eye-opener to the whole experience and politics of ďŹ lmmaking. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very complicated,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; says Kamahl. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of cynicism and frustration.

Everyone believes their ďŹ lm should get made. I just went with the attitude that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to tell everyone how awesome my ďŹ lm is, it just is, and I wanted to be with people who believed that as well.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Kamahlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attitude and the quality of his project were so successful they won him high praise from the panel, and the competition as well. In the feedback session following the pitch he was bombarded with positive comments and questions about the project, and is now talking to SBS about a deal. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a real feather in my cap,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; says Kamahl. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;For a relative unknown to win the best pitch is unheard of.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Kamahl expects to have word on the SBS deal very soon and, hopefully, it will be the good news variety. Whatever happens, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no doubt that the tenacity and talent that has got Kamahl this far will ultimately win him more than the pitch.

Youth Tobacco Free Day A new survey has found over three-quarters (76 per cent) of young people think the government should take action against smoking in movies, the results coinciding with National Youth Tobacco Free Day. When asked about the preferred action the government should take, a majority 46 per cent of respondents think anti-smoking commer-

cials should be screened before movies that portray smoking. More than 800 young people aged between 10 and 25 responded to the web based survey, which also reveals a strong misconception that smoking is more prevalent in adult society than the actual statistics relate.

No satisfactory answer for Tibet Vol 22 #41

March 25, 2008

Permits to pollute Professor Ross Garnaut’s latest release in his Climate Change Review (www.garnautreview.org.au) has drawn mixed responses, as you would expect as the economic reality of climate change measures begins to bite. The hot topic from the Emissions Trading Scheme Discussion Paper has been selling emission permits to industries which, in a nutshell, need to pollute to survive. The executive summary of the paper notes: ‘Some industries rely significantly on emissions-intensive production processes, and are substantially unable to pass costs of emissions through to customers because price of commodity or good is determined on international markets. Transitional financial assistance (possibly in the form of free permits) should be provided to account for distortions arising from major trading competitors not adopting emissions limits (or pricing).’ A free kick to begin with, and then the cost of emitting carbon is borne by the producer. This is particularly relevant to coal-fired power generators, upon which many Australian households depend, when emissions trading begins in 2010. In response National Generators Forum executive director John Boshier has been quoted as saying, ‘We are disappointed that he has not understood the fundamentals of the electricity industry.’ On the other hand, Tony Nicholson, executive director of the Brotherhood of St Laurence, welcomed the recommendation, saying ‘Auctioning permits for industry to emit carbon is essential to protect the poor because the revenue raised can compensate disadvantaged households for the effects of rising energy prices.’ According to Tony Nicholson, revenue from auctioning is needed to compensate low income households for the higher cost of power and other goods and services, and also to invest in new programs that help remove barriers to achieving greater and ongoing household energy efficiencies. (You can read about the Brotherhood’s own climate change initiatives at www.bsl.org.au. It provides an inspiring example to other Christian organisations.) Permits to pollute are necessary so that whole industries do not go under immediately, with the consequent loss of livelihoods. It is a bit rich of the power industry, however, to think that the government would subsidise its pollution rather than expect it to pay – the writing has been on the wall for decades, and neither dirty power generators nor the federal government, until now, have been prepared to take on innovative ways of dealing with pollution or to change over to non-polluting products, such as wind and solar. And while disadvantaged households can be protected from rising energy costs, there should also be upfront incentives in the way of further rebates to encourage use and development of alternative energy sources. Those who have followed the history of the developed world’s conspicuous consumption (and the sad adventures of humanity in general – read A Green History of The World http://ecobooks.com/books/history.htm and Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed) are unlikely to shed too many tears for industries now crying hard-done-by after a record of profit-gouging, polluting and greed.

n 1938 Kurt Godel published the proof of a theorem which made a lot of professional mathematicians very unhappy. He showed that any complete mathematical system will sooner or later produce statements which are inherently paradoxical; they can neither be proved true nor proved false. To some questions there can never be a satisfactory answer. In the abstract world of mathematics such problems can be treated as no more than curiosities to be studied in the farthest reaches of academe. In politics problems without solutions are rather more common and far more serious; they can be quite literally matters of life and death. One such problem is Tibet. The almost universal view from the west is that the Chinese occupation of Tibet is a crime. Tibet was, and should be still, an independent and peaceful nation minding its own business and threatening no-one. The Chinese takeover was an act of naked aggression which could not be legitimised by spurious appeals to history and geography, as Beijing has attempted for at least ﬁfty years. Since then there has been widespread repression and violation of human rights and attacks on people and property aimed at destroying the entire Tibetan culture. While the Chinese remain, things can only get worse. Morally, there is no alternative to a free Tibet. The international community should use every legitimate means to bring this about, starting with a boycott of the Beijing Olympics. If only it was so simple. For starters, an Olympic boycott would almost cer-

tainly do no good at all; the patchy boycott of the Moscow Olympics in 1980 did nothing to get the Russians out of Afghanistan. Indeed, given the paranoid state of Chinese politics, a boycott could be seriously counterproductive, leading to still tighter control from the Communist Party. Anyway, the Dalai Lama himself has advised against a boycott. So it seems only sensible to rule this out. But that leaves… what? Trade bans involving the world’s largest importer of raw materials and largest exporter of consumer goods are obviously impractical; they might eventually hurt China, but they would wreck the rest of the world economy in the process. And again, there is no

the constant authoritarian presence of the Chinese military. But this would involve an end to the protests in Lhasa, which are generally regarded by the rest of the world as entirely justiﬁed. To Beijing, of course, they are acts of open rebellion, a threat to national security, and must be treated as such. The mainstream view in China is that the arrival of the People’s Army signalled not an invasion but a liberation (sound familiar?) by which the peasants were freed from a cruel and intolerant theocracy run by bloated monks who stole the wealth of the people to create an obscenely opulent lifestyle for themselves and whose leader ﬂed to India to plot for his return to resume

The core fact that must be recognised is that, to Beijing, China’s territorial claim to Tibet is incontestable and nonnegotiable. by Mungo MacCallum reason to believe that this kind of punitive action would beneﬁt the Tibetans. All that is left is persuasion and diplomacy, and these have not been too successful in the past either. The core fact that must be recognised is that, to Beijing, China’s territorial claim to Tibet is incontestable and non-negotiable. In practice this has been the political reality for many years: Chinese sovereignty over Tibet is bipartisan policy in Australia, as it is in most of the world. Again, even the Dalai Lama accepts that Tibet will not regain full independence. The best that can be hoped for is a fair degree of autonomy, free of

his oppressive regime. In the years since then the material wellbeing of all Tibetans has increased immeasurably, particularly in the fields of health, housing and secular education. Society has been reformed and modernised, giving people from all backgrounds more choice of careers and lifestyles. The younger generation in particular now have opportunities of which their parents could not even dream. And this has been made possible by the sacrifices of their fellow Chinese, who have worked in a severe and alien environment to bring the benefits of civilisation to their benighted fellows; not many

Han Chinese actually enjoy life on the plateau. In the circumstances those demonstrating for a return to the bad old days must be seen as criminal reactionaries, enemies of the people. But of course they are not; they are the people, or at least the more militant representatives of the people. What the Chinese view overlooks is that the Tibetans’ hunger for independence can override any feelings of gratitude for increased material wellbeing, and that indeed the extra prosperity and education they have acquired will in themselves generate a desire for more control over their own lives. This should not be surprising; the Tibetans are hardly unique. In recent times we have seen the same drive in East Timor, in former Soviet states and in the Balkans. And perhaps we are still seeing it in Iraq. The Chinese themselves have gone through similar periods in their long history. Nationalism is a force which, once unleashed, is very hard to stop. But in the case of Tibet, Beijing is determined to show that it can be done, and nothing the rest of the world says is going to change its mind – at least in the foreseeable future. Kevin Rudd and other leaders can, and should, make the case for restraint, for a scaling down of the occupying forces, for a crackdown on proﬁteering and corruption among the Han Chinese, for a greater understanding and respect for Thibetan culture, for increased autonomy and more overall freedom. But they shouldn’t waste their time demanding full independence for Tibet. Not even the Dalai Lama is doing that any more.

Tibetan rights I must express my concern at the current situation in Tibet. I was in Tibet last September and witnessed the strong military presence already there and knowing that a buildup is occurring as I write this makes me feel very sad for the people there as well as their families who are refugees living elsewhere. I can’t help wondering how they are. Have they and their families been accosted by armed military personnel? Have they had their SIM cards snatched from their phones. Are they still alive? It’s appalling that China has got away with this for so long. I feel for the young Tibetans who are so angry and frustrated. Their parents have been subjugated for so long by Chinese oppression and now their children are rising up. Tibetans and their supporters will take advantage of the high proﬁle China is enjoying at the moment because of the Olympics to bring their cause to the forefront of human rights violations. I support them. Marie Sherd

Wild side I was delighted to read Eve Jeffery’s article in last week’s Echo about water, loos and sanitation. A very informative and important piece. It reminded me of something I heard on ABC Radio National last year which somewhat shocked me at the time. Apparently as recently as the 19th century our female ancestors in Britain – at least those of the polite ‘civilised’ class – suffered terribly from kidney stones and associated ail-

The cars that ate Bangalow The cars devouring Bangalow have escalated into a health threat. Forget noise aesthetics etc. I’m against the carpark along the railway tracks. It will cause more car movements in the main street as cars prowl and strike out looking for a park across the railway line. It will cause trafﬁc congestion around the roundabout and across the bridge. The main corner with Leslie Street is almost blind, dangerous. More cars. More fumes. People use that land. Kids walk to school across it. Kids and reversing cars? This empty stretch is a green lung for those living on the north side. Filling it with cars erodes our environment. Green space is not just a reserve for future development. It’s performing a great service already.

Here, context is everything. The highway decision was the worst possible option for Bangalow. Bangalow is encircled and cut by main roads. All of you are forced to drive through our streets to get to somewhere else. The main arterial road from the north is a steep road on a ridge. Many of our houses are lined along it. The constant braking and acceleration means pollution seeps downhill onto the houses on each side. Pollution is much worse at nights. Some nights I wake up with the smell of exhaust fumes in my bedroom, which alarms me. Some mornings I open my doors to ﬁnd a petroleum fug around the house. I get it from three directions. Still, moist days are worst. At present classic inversions are forming. A small LA is developing in

our midst. Our topography is perfect for it. Last Tuesday at an exercise class in town, windows were constantly opening and closing to deal with the trafﬁc fumes outside, which could not escape skywards. I worry about the dirty particulate diesel fumes, known for their damaging health effects. These will only get dirtier with dwindling supplies. At present new houses are being built near the edge of what will be the future freeway, condemning future inhabitants to unhealthy lives. This is disgraceful. When does the health of residents become an issue in public planning? We need a real bypass; and we need the proposed freeway to be further away from our lives.

ments due to the fact that ‘a lady’ just didn’t pee when she went out. The lady just had to wait till she got home, meantime accumulating possibly a whole day’s toxicity within her bladder. If that’s civilised, then I’ll opt for being a bit on the wild side any day.

Using biodiesel is an environmentally responsible thing to do. For ever 333 litres of biodiesel substituted for ordinary diesel you save one tonne of CO2 and many kilograms of particulates (soot). Given that ordinary diesel is a non renewable, very polluting fuel that is a major cause of global warming and that biodiesel is the exact opposite, it is impossible to understand why it is the biodiesel industry and the users of biodiesel are being penalised and persecuted by the government in the form of excise. If I buy a solar hot water system to save three tonnes of CO2 emissions per year and help with global warming I am rewarded with subsidies for doing my bit. Thank you very much to both state and federal governments. However if I use biodiesel which saves 8.8 tonnes of CO2 per year I get nothing but a warm and fuzzy feeling in the knowledge that I am doing the right thing by the planet and that is all I need.

It is my choice. But the industry that supplies me with that biodiesel is being screwed out of existence by legislation which is really bad for the environment. As to biodiesel being bad for modern, high pressure, common rail diesel fuel delivery systems, I defy anyone to supply me with any proof that any biodiesel made to standard in Australia was the cause of any failure in any engine made post the desulphuration of diesel. This is discounting minor problems like clogged ﬁlters due to the residual sludge left in fuel lines and tanks by ordinary diesel being dissolved by biodiesel. Why is the new government not giving this new Australian owned and operated renewable, green business all the help it can? Why

Biodiesel In Australia biodiesel, made to standard from a waste product, is available for sale to anyone who cares to make the effort to go and buy it from the manufacturer. Or you can make it yourself. When the owner of a diesel engine makes the decision to run that engine on biodiesel instead of its polluting cousin this is usually done with the environment in mind as biodiesel is a renewable fuel. It is carbon neutral and has 80% less particulate emissions than the diesel bought from the local petrol station. (There is also a considerable ﬁnancial incentive if you make it yourself.)

are not all diesel government vehicles running on at least B30 (30% biodiesel)? You signed the Kyoto agreement. Here is a fantastic opportunity to put your money where your mouth is. A healthy biodiesel industry owned by Australians could be saving millions of tonnes of CO2 per year. Why let the fuel giants get it (when it goes broke) and send all the proﬁts offshore?

Drive through Has anyone else noted the addition of a drive through restaurant (McHungry perhaps) in the tiny DA map on the fence of the proposed Greenfields service station site at Ocean Shores? Along with 16 fuel pumps (up from 12), 50 carparks (up from 30) and 5 truck /coach parking bays and total development covering 8000m2. A drive through. You’ve got to be kidding! Big consumers in big cars, belching big amounts of fumes into kiddies in the play area alongside (right alongside), only to drive off and when finished their orgy of gluttony and consumerism hoik their super-sized garbage all along our roadside and into our creeks and rivers. I am always proud to tell friends unlucky enough to not enjoy living in our bit of paradise how there’s not a drive through or Golden Arches/Hungries within our borders. In this time of global consumer hegemony threatening to take over our planet, I am always thankful of our little enclave of ‘difference’. Seems the north of the shire is becoming a battleground against inappropriate developments and smoke and mirrors campaigns by developers. The proposed DA regarding the drive through hardly mentions it and then only really as an aside. Please, not here. Let’s fight to maintain our environment our lifestyle and even our

‘brand’. Byron Shire has the chance to remain different, a little oasis in a desert of sameness. A drive through is not the way to pursue this – get out and walk. Brett Bishop

Bouquet Congratulations to all those at The Echo responsible for bringing about a great achievement. The permanent reduction of carbon impact to nil from your business operation deserves trumpeting on The Echo’s front page, rather than being buried innocuously on page 13. Could such a profoundly socially responsible initiative even be emulated by our ‘green’ Council? We live in hope... Hugh Ermacora

Gorgeous people I recently spent three nights in Mullumbimby hospital and felt so grateful to the staff and volunteers! The hospital is obviously being starved of funding and the doctors and nurses are stretched to capacity and yet I was warmly cared for in every capacity. The nurses were totally professional and thorough. They went to extra lengths to make sure I was on track and all bases had been covered. I felt heard and respected. The kitchen staff were gorgeous as were the cleaners, the maintenance crew and the Lilac Ladies! Thank you nurses and everyone at Mullum Hospital for your cheery smiles and humour on what could have otherwise been a completely miserable experience. Rebecca Ireland

Out of gas Remember when $20 of petrol would just about ﬁll your tank? In my car it was just before ‘Gulf War 2, the Empire Strikes Black’. I think I might have iso-

lated the fundamental cause of the current global economic meltdown (also known as the subprime ﬁasco, or the JP Morgan bargain bonanza shopping spree). Basically, everybody keeps running out of petrol on their way to the bank. ‘Sorry, sir, your repayments are late; we are going to have to sell your assets to JP Morgan.’ No surprise that the US is at the heart of the ﬁre sale, given the average american guzzler consumes 180 times more petrol than your common Australian counterpart. Amazingly, recent modelling has shown that by the time this letter goes to print, the majority of Australians will be working two jobs around the clock to pay for the petrol they consume going to work. Oh well, at least they stopped that madman Hussein. Can you imagine what the world would have been like if they left him in charge of all that oil? Albert Moses

Questions for councillors Over the past two years I have asked for answers to questions relating to performance criteria and actual results compared to design performance from our wastewater treatment plants. To date there has been no meaningful response from management of water and recycling. It is a fact that staff of Water and Recycling are now being asked to sign non-disclosure agreements. In a clear, transparent and open organisation this should not be necessary. This means that the public

and of greater concern, the elected Councillors, will not have access to any data coming from the Shire’s Wastewater Treatment Plants until that data is cleared by Council management. That being the case I now ask the elected Councillors: 1. What sites are being supplied with treated efﬂuent from West Byron Wastewater Treatment Works? 2. What volume is being supplied overall and to each individual site? 3. What income is being generated from the sale of the treated efﬂuent? 4. How many times has

the original EPA licence requirement been changed since the plant was commissioned because of the plant’s inability to meet licence requirements? 5. How was it possible for Mullumbimby to virtually run out of treated water recently when a full early warning telemetry system is in place throughout water and recycling to avoid such a circumstance? Would the Councillors be good enough to provide residents veriﬁable answers to these questions? Alan Dickens

Drumming The Brunswick Valley Historical Society (BVHS), at a recent meeting, refused to overturn its ban on drumming at the Mullumbimby market. This decision is a smack in the face for the hundreds of supporters of drumming and dancing in the community. It thumbs its nose at the over 1500 punters who signed the petition in support of drumming at the markets, and the hundreds who showed up to demonstrate through the streets of Mullumbimby last year for lifting the ban on drumming. It also goes against the preferences of the overwhelming majority of stallholders who support drumming at the market. It mocks the seven month effort at seeking a resolution, an effort that included Byron Shire Council ofﬁcers, Byron Shire Police, Cr John Lazarus, members of the Drum & Dance Collective (DDC) and BVHS. The DDC has been willing to compromise, looking at lateral solutions to achieve a win-win for all parties. The BVHS, however, has not budged one inch from their stubborn refusal to review the ban, a ban based on two complaints! The question must be asked: whose interests does the BVHS serve? Is the BVHS serving the needs of its own market stallholders? Is the BVHS in any way responsive to the needs of the broader community? The Drum & Dance Collective now calls upon Byron Shire Council to review the market licence of the BVHS, a process that is long overdue. In recognition of the cultural importance and role of drumming and dancing at markets in Byron Shire, the DDC calls upon Byron Council to acknowledge and

include this in the Mullum market licence. In addition, perhaps it is time to ﬁnd another market licensee for Mullum and a market venue more suitable to the long term needs of the community. We propose that the Mullumbimby Showgrounds be canvassed as a more suitable site, offering adequate space for stallholders, better parking and logistic facilities, effective noise buffers, the opportunity to collaborate with other cultural groups like Spaghetti Circus, all adding up to a vibrant, colourful and commercially far more viable market for the community as a whole. In the meantime, the Drum & Dance Collective will continue to explore creative means to challenge this absurd ban on drumming.

Chemtrails Some very odd goings-on right above our heads over the past decade might also hold some extremely valid clues, especially now that the German military has ofﬁcially admitted that clandestine weather control opera-

tions have been committed in their local skies which match perfectly with thousands and millions of other people’s observations around the world concerning the chemtrail phenomenon. A chemtrail looks much like a contrail at first, but unlike a contrail, it does not quickly disperse and will usually horse-tail or spread out and form artificial cloudcover, which looks to the untrained eye, not all that different from naturally formed clouds. I wasn’t surprised to see Monday a week ago the first of the expected chemtrails that always appear in the weeks leading up to Easter. I am not surprised to see the weather patterns altering again. Anyone remembering the three-year drought of a few years back might not now be surprised to learn that at that time, chemtrails appeared most frequently. I don’t wish to sound alarmist, but while the rest of the world governments are refusing to acknowledge what is really going on, it would certainly pay to keep an open mind on this and do some research for yourself. For example, see the exposure of the German military operations at this great health-oriented site, http://www.naturalnews.com/022838.html, and see the youtube video about the news report at http://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=MVc9GX5K_As . Rense.com has pages and pages about the issue, some more believable than others. Also at http://www.chycho. com/?q=Chemtrails there is a very good documentary under the title Aerosol Crimes (1:39:23). Ross Thatcher

‘Belonging’ the theme of OS Art Expo The theme for the Ocean Shores Arts Expo 2008 has been announced. About a dozen titles were tossed around at a meeting of the committee which was held not long after the formal ‘Sorry’ from the federal government to the Aboriginal people. Many in the OS Arts Expo group had been looking for a current and topical theme for artists to focus on. Lousa Miller spoke of a story she read in the media where Aboriginal people who were keen to have an annual commemoration for the Sorry Day said they would rather call it a day of ‘Belonging’. This word resonated immediately and the committee is proud to announce what they think will be an evocative theme for all kinds of artwork, whether representational or

Comment Those contemplating becoming a Byron Shire councillor might care to read this narrative from Byron Shire Councillor Tom Tabart

Learn about good and bad vines at Testing Times for Troublesome Tom Ocean Shores N

Yallakool Landcare member David Kemp with Envite hosted Green Corps team at Ocean Shores Yallakool workshop site.

Few things define living in our district like vines, they are everywhere in all sorts of shapes and colours, and in recognition of this Brunswick Valley Landcare is holding a vine identification workshop at Ocean Shores on Saturday March 29. The workshop will be held from 1-4pm at Yallakool Reserve, at the corner of Warrambool Road and Yallakool Drive (follow the signs from Rajah Road). Entry fee is a gold coin donation, please contact Colin Hastie on 6626 7028 for bookings. Brunswick Valley Landcare is hosting an Envirofund project to restore the native forest of the Reserve which provides an important wildlife corridor between the Brunswick Heads Nature Reserve and the Reserves to the west. The workshop will feature speakers on the good and bad types of vines. The amazing diversity and crucial importance of our native vines will be discussed as well as the terrible destructiveness of exotic vines, and how to get rid of them. Native vines are a crucial part of our forests, making up a high percentage of the plants in a healthy forest and playing many important roles. Many species of wildlife depend on vines for their survival as food plants and shelter. Butterflies are wonderful example of this, indeed they characterize the web of life due to the way they interact with different parts of the forest at different times in their lifecycle. The Blue Tiger butterfly involves at least two types of native vines in its life, and that’s not counting those used for nectar: the male’s extract chemicals from the leaves of the Monkey Rope Vine which make them more poisonous to birds and more attractive to females. The females lay their eggs on its host or food plant for the hatched young, the Corky Milk-vine, while the Monkey Rope Vine is in turn one of the host plants for several butterfly species including the Common Crow. The Zig Zag Vine is the host to the Four-barred Swordtail and Pale Triangle butterflies, while various native Dutchmans Pipe species are hosts to Dainty Swallowtails, Clearwing Swallowtails and Richmond Birdwings. The Blunt-leaved and Pointy-leaved Passion Vines are hosts to the Glasswing Butterfly, however several other non-native Passion Vine species are serious weeds, such as Corky Passion Vine and Passion Flower Vine. Butterflies are quickly e attracted to planted native vines, I know of people who have had Richmond Birdwings arrive within weeks of planting the host vine, as even small plants attract them. However the Richmond Birdwing caterpillars are killed by eating the Glasswing butterfl y emerging from leaves of the non-native chrysalis on Nativ e Passion vine. Dutchmans Pipe. I have no doubt that over time ating effect that we will learn of the devastating other introduced plants have on our wildlife. The destruction of native forests caused by vines that don’t come from here is a major problem, and so they are recognized as some of the worst weeds due to their vigorous growth habits and ability to smother and kill entire tracts of forest. In addition to the introduced Passion Vines, some of the many others are Morning Glory, Cats Claw Creeper and Madeira Vine. However no matter how enormous a problem they present at any particular site, they can be defeated quite efficiently with the necessary expertise and commitment. Indeed some of the best known success stories of native forest restoration have involved dealing with these vines, such as the restoration of the Wingham Brush Reserve near Taree. So come and see what’s happening locally to defeat the vine weed menace, hope to see you there.

ow, children, here follows a cautionary tale for any young hopeful considering a stint on council – a tale of secrecy, plots, lies, hatred, non-sequiturs and incompetence. It was a dark and stormy night sometime back in early 06. Candles ﬂickered as the wind howled outside. Crouched around the executive table of the Ocean Shores Community Association a small group was darkly scheming. Smarting over the multiple injustices perpetrated on the downtrodden prols of hither Ocean Shores, the solution suddenly presents itself – something has to be done about the disgraceful state of illegal building in the southern settlement of Brunswick Heads – the situation there obviously threatens the very foundations of local government. And what better place to start than with that annoying greenie councillor, Tom Tabart. 20 Jan 06, letter to GM Pam Westing: ‘We feel it would be beneﬁcial if you will look into allegations as to whether or not Cr Tabart obtained Council consent for the demolition of an old asbestos clad shed at the rear of the new building before the erection of the new building...’ signed Donna Hammond, Secretar y, OSCA. (It is claimed by the GM that a letter went back to OSCA at this stage stating that the matter had been investigated, there was no ‘asbestos shed’ and the works were renovations to an existing cottage. OSCA claims not to have received letter.) 4 Jul 06, letter from OSCA to Kerry Hickey, Minister for local Government NSW: ‘Minister, I consider this to be a very serious matter and

I request that you please take the time to investigate the allegations made in our original letter to BSC.’ (Reply to OSCA 21/7/06: ‘The matter has been referred to the Investigations and Review branch of the DLG...’) 23 Aug 06, letter from OSCA to Minister: ‘Thank you for your reply... regarding lack of response from BSC...’. ‘Minister, for your perusal I enclose some clippings taken from the Byron News sent in by disillusioned ratepayers showing their lack of conﬁdence in our “bumbling Council”’. (?) Sep 06, letter from OSCA to ICAC: ‘To clarify these allegations against Cr Tabart we request that your department investigate ...’. (The GM tells me that neither the Minister or ICAC is interested.) So, huddled in their footpath-deprived wilderness,

the OSCA plotters wait and wait and wait. Finally, it becomes unbearable and a brave volunteer is called for – he/she must cross the rapids on the treacherous Brunswick, make his way to the enemy-held council chambers and secretly enlist the assistance of ‘friendly’ forces to awaken the GM to the enemy within. But who could possibly accomplish such a perilous mission? Step forward Little-Jim Mangleson, estate agent to the stars and Marshalls Creek visionary – into the valley of Brunswick rides the gallant Jim... 27 Feb 08, phone call from GM to Cr Tabart: ‘On a request from Mr Jim Mangleson, Crs Tucker and Tardif have asked to see me regarding the OSCA complaint, the Mayor has been invited...’. (Only Cr Tucker makes it

and later rings me confirming that the complaint was ill-founded and obviously politically motivated.) Curses, foiled again – something must be done! ‘Jim, we know it is asking a lot but you will have to go “over the top” again...’ (By this time property has been on market for some weeks – Jim obtains a copy of the contract of sale.) 28 Feb 08, Jim Mangleson makes new verbal complaint to Director of Planning: ‘preferential treatment to a councillor, site has five dwellings, asbestos removed, floor heights too low’. (Council investigates again – finds nothing of substance.) Meanwhile back at the councillor’s room I discussed her role in the Get Tom Plot with Cr Jan Mangleson. My summary of what she said follows: I knew about the complaint but was not involved directly. As a member of OSCA I may have been at the plot-hatching meeting/s but can’t remember. I am not sure what Jim is up to and have no opinion on his actions. I know none of the details but how is it you have five dwellings on your block which is on four titles – OOPS! To be continued...

Angel the turtle makes it back to the ocean Members of Australian Seabird (and Sea Turtle) Rescue celebrated another successful sea turtle rehabilitation last week in ByronBay. The magnificent Green Sea Turtle (Chelonia mydas) was found by Ballina Shire Council employee James Brydeson, stranded and distressed in thick polluted storm foam on Angels Beach on January 11. Suffering from severe Float Syndrome, ‘Angel’ was delivered to ASR’s WildlifeLink Sanctuary to begin an intensive rehabilitation regime to restore her health. One of the crankier turtles ASR has seen for a while, Angel had to be isolated

from other turtles due to her anti-social propensity to bite anything within range. ASR president Rochelle Ferris said, ‘It’s no wonder she was cranky. After a month in care, Angel passed ﬁbres of plastic orange rope. She must have had a terrible stomachache. ‘Sadly, this is another

example of our native wildlife suffering because of a habitat polluted with plastics. In every square mile of ocean it is estimated that there are over 46,000 pieces of plastic.’ Days after ASR members made the faecal discovery, Angel’s behaviour returned to normal. North Coast Branch representative Kath Southwell noted the acceleration in progress in the rehabilitation reports: ‘Sitting on the bottom!!! Hooray! Healthy appetite and more sociable.’ After a few weeks regaining strength and returning to a healthier bodyweight, Angel was released into the

bay at Byron under the watchful eyes of the Stingrays Ocean Swimming team. ‘We see turtles in the seagrass beds and reefs every day as we swim across the bay. We’ll deﬁnitely be keeping a lookout for Angel!’ ASR member and ocean swimmer Nicky Greenlaw said. ASR remains the only notfor-profit organisation in Australia licensed to rehabilitate sea turtles. With minimal government support, ASR survives on membership fees, donations and community fundraising. See more at www.seabirdrescue. org.

Digging the gardens of who we are Story & photo Mary Gardner There are bricks in the garden where I am digging. I put in silverbeet and bean seedlings alongside the herbs. I like gardening. It helps me think. I straighten up and look over my work. I must admit none of these plants is what would typically grow in the coastal heathland which is now my backyard. Native. Exotic. Natural. Modified. The ideas are about philosophy.The meaning of life. So honestly, what to think about Biobricks? Biobricks are sequences of DNA that code for a speciﬁc biological function, to create an enzyme or protein. The biotech company has cut up these parts of living creatures and slapped on a trademark. The catalogues are on the internet. The promotion info explains Biobricks are like a great Lego kit. Biobricks, like garden bricks, are a product of logic. It’s a special way of thinking. Building blocks! ‘Brick by brick’ is a powerful image of progress. Humans build walls and aqueducts, machines and factories. Now the same logic means humans can build cells. After all, we do picture cells as small factories with smaller machines inside. Resources

in and products out. All according to a double helix program handed down for generations. As always, there are noble aims as to why build cells. One is to mass produce vital medical products as in the case of wormwood which ﬁghts malaria without creating resistance. Or to make cells producing silk without worms. And the results to date? Bacteria are now created which include the light sensitive parts of blue green algae in them. The work births a living light sensitive film that can produce an image at a resolution of 100 megapixels per square inch. The ﬁrst image revealed at the conference? The yellow block letters on the red background spell ‘Hello World’.

The workers are laboratory scientists and students, in global competitions run to see who can create what. They imagine cells are ‘wetware’ to be reprogrammed for human-deﬁned computation. It’s not just Biobricks. There’s Synthetic Biology. Plus, on the atomic scale, there is Nanotechnology, building self replicating miniature devices. Leaders in the Nanotechnology industry in the USA published a Roadmap for Research. The document enthusiastically talks of three progressive stages: exploration, pioneering and full exploitation. Harsh words here in Wallum Country. I squirm. I dig a little more. Once again, we hear the language of power

pressed to service of science. As before, the images being called up are imperious. Imagery! It was a visual arts project that brought an artist to collaborate with a French biotechnology lab. Shared skills mixed rabbit embryos with jellyfish genes. Surprisingly, one embryo survived the violent ‘gunshot’ procedure. One day, there was ‘born’ a pretty brown creature. But it hopped into the night glowing fluorescent green. Imagery! What if we saw cells not as bricks nor factories? What if we pictured them as gardens? Or ecosystems? Why must our imagery become simplistic and mechanistic at small scale? Bricks indeed. To picture a cell as a garden forces us to see it differently and ask new questions. You and I, pondering these ideas, are not simply secluded residents here in our private Slice of Paradise. But as I water my exotic seedlings, shaded by native trees, I wonder if even gardens are images too full of conflicts and limitations. Maybe there are other images more potent. But which? There is an international movement called the Café Scientifique. Specialists join

the public for coffee and cake, in open discussions about science and civil society. They talk about biobricks, nanotechnology and more. How do these technologies work? What are the ethics? Reports are publicised. These types of conversations are also hosted by other governments. They use the forums to inform policy and open up funding. Different people come together: new projects begin. Imagine Byron becoming such a centre for intellect and innovation! Twenty-three years ago,

Donna Hathaway published a ‘Manifesto for Cyborgs’. She argued that if cyborgs are a mix of humans and their technology, what with our cars and mobiles and PCs, we are already prototypes. We already have joint kinship with both animals and machines. National governments to one side, we are now also citizens of global microelectric and biotechnical politics. How do we enrol and vote? From here in the Rainbow Region, our take on Paradise which includes neon green bunnies needs to be heard.

Gardeners raise more than seed Lesley Patterson Over 400 people visited Marie and David Ashton’s Ocean Shores garden recently as part of the Australian Open Gardens Scheme. As well as being keen gardeners, the couple are also keen supporters of local charity WellWishers, which funds the building of wells in poverty stricken areas in Ethiopia. Spotting an opportunity to help pay for another well, Marie and David donated part of the entrance fee to the charity, raising nearly $1,000 over the weekend. ‘Marie and David’s generosity is much appreciated,’ said Ross Allan from Mullumbimby-based WellWishers. Such is the group’s success that 24 wells have been funded already this ﬁnancial year, and Ross is aiming to hit his target of 35 by the end of June. ‘While donations have come from throughout

Almost 40 north coast high schools have the opportunity to develop a plan to make their schools more environmentally friendly. The second annual Schools Using Sustainable Strategies (SUSS) Forum is designed for regional high school students and teachers within the Northern Rivers to help them develop and implement sustainability action plans through a school environmental management plan (SEMP). The SUSS Forum Co-

ordinator Karen Rudkin said the last year’s forum was a great success with over 50 students and teachers in attendance at the Linneaus property at Lennox Head. ‘Planning for this year’s SUSS forum is well underway with invitations to teachers and students from 38 schools from Grafton to Tweed and west to Kyogle,’ Ms Rudkin said. ‘The workshops at this year’s forum will be speciﬁcally tailored to have direct links with the school curric-

Laws fail in greenhouse challenge In the battle against global warming one of the environment’s greatest allies can be climate-friendly law, a new publication has revealed. According to the latest issue, Hot Topics – Climate change, Australia has no major climate change legislation, divulging that ‘both the Commonwealth and the States have an enormous amount of work to do if they are to rise to the greenhouse challenge’. This new edition is available in all NSW local librar-

ies and is a plain-English resource on this important subject for the local and business community, as well as students. ‘Climate change is so hotly debated within business, politics and the media that it’s confusing people, so we decided to provide the community with an easy to follow summary on the current status and legal challenges of this major environmental issue,’ says Cathy Hammer, Hot Topics editor. The magazine provides an

overview on the history of climate change, and an explanation of the emissions trading proposal and how it works. Hot Topics is a magazine series on legal issues in NSW, published by the State Library of NSW, Legal Information Access Centre and this edition was prepared by the Environmental Defender’s Ofﬁce. It provides information for the community and students, and is provided free of charge to every public library in NSW.

Simple Way To Lose Fat

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

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

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

Willing sitters for FEHVA portraits In the spirit of the Archies and after the success of last year’s inaugural FEHVA portrait prize, festival coordinator Dee Tipping has secured the talents of two more willing subjects happy to bare their souls or indeed their all for the event. ‘I was lucky to secure two proﬁled subjects and artists themselves for the event and they are Ken Johnson and Mandy Nolan, who will sit for and judge the two separate prizes,’ Ms Tipping said. ‘The $500 cash non acquisitive prize monies have been donated by Ken Johnson himself and The Urban Café. ‘Ken has been so busy with his own exhibitions that we were lucky that he agreed to ﬁnd the time to sit and in fact he will be freshly returned from an international artists’ symposium in Syria to sit for the Bangalow based prize. ‘The delectable Mandy will provide a source of joy for the artist’s palette – we can also guarantee that the famous Mandy wit will probably keep you amazingly entertained while she sits unless she takes the opportunity to sit back and leave it up to the artists to entertain her! ‘This year you can start researching the artists prior to the sitting as the winning

OFF MY FACE I am a member of Facebook. I have a face, I have a proﬁle, and I have 203 friends. But I have no idea what the point of the thing actually is.

For a start it’s not a book. It’s a window. I just log on, click the appropriate buttons and log off. I wonder who all these people are who seem to be busy sending friend requests, and if they really want to be my friend so desperately, why don’t they pop over for a cup of tea? It’s a weird way to make friends.

Rather than a polite introduction and chit chat, there’s a message in your in box. It’s very school yard. You get the message: ‘You have a friend request’, it tells you how many friends you have in common and once you hit confirm, you have added another name to your inner circle. Then there’s the hotness request. What is hotness? I know a lot of menopausal women who suffer from hotness and they assure me it’s not a positive thing. I’m not going to click on a button and request hotness, because at 40, I’m less than a decade away from unbearable and uncontrollable hotness. There’s even the chance to ‘poke’ someone. My Mum told me that poking was rude. In some circles, a poke is the equivalent of a really dud root. I certainly don’t want a poke in the face. Myspace and Facebook redefine friendship. The Oxford Dictionary defines a friend as someone who is ‘joined to another in intimacy and affection.’ Within cyberworld, a friend is anyone whose data is captured in your profile. In fact, I suspect that My Space and Facebook are just elaborate devices where consumers willingly donate their data to science. There’s nothing intimate about Facebook. I don’t feel that I can turn to Facebook for emotional support during a crisis. Can’t wait to see the bulletin header: ‘Mandy is depressed and suicidal click on her profile for more information. Would you like to support Mandy during her breakdown?’ Confirm or Ignore. At least you have an option. Are Facebook and Myspace friends really friends at all? Does anyone really have a meaningful exchange, or is it just an elaborate cover for a network of stalkers? Boyfriends that you fucked over years ago can now log on, do a facebook search and find you and within hours they can be outside your home standing in the bushes jerking off. I’m feeling a bit unloved because no one from my past has bothered to track me down. It would appear I left a lot less impact than I thought I did. I realised this when I found myself in the bush outside an old boyfriend’s home watching him and his wife have dinner.

YUNASI – WORLD MUSIC Byron is a lucky town. Not only do we live in a beautiful place but we are blessed with some of the world’s best musicians and bands visiting our shores – like this one. Eight men from East Africa and a French woman make up Yunasi, and they sing in several languages including Swahili, English, French, Luo, Kisii and Luhya. In 2004, Yunasi developed a unique East African music style called Sesube which is a combination of sega, isukuti and benga. It takes sounds and inspirations from local Kenyan communities, cultural styles and languages and fuses those sounds with a European component. The sound is achieved by playing a variety of instruments, both traditional and modern. In December 2007 Yunasi were voted winners of the BBC ‘Next Big Thing’ competition. From over 2000 acts from 88 countries, Yunasi were voted outright winners by a panel of top music industry judges including Talvin Singh, William Orbit, Nile Rodgers

THE REAL GONE HICK-UPS FIRST SHOW FOR ‘08 In a case of taking coal to Newcastle, Jimmy Willing is finding more and more radio stations in America willing to give The Real Gone Hick-Ups airplay. ‘Overseas listeners seem to find the fact that we come from the bush to be a blessing and not something to cringe about.’ Jimmy told The Echo. The Hick-Ups’ back-block take on Blues and Country music is seen to have grit and a unique authenticity. ‘With calamities having put us out of action for some months, this will be our first gig for 2008. We hope to see our friends and fans turn out for another jam packed show.’ The Lennox Point Hotel Saturday at 9pm.

MAKING STRIDES The Strides consist of some of Sydney’s ﬁnest young jazz, blues and world music instrumentalists, and are embarking on a North Coast tour as well as recording their debut album. Having met during their teens on the South Coast of NSW, they all spent time maturing in places as far away as NYC, Senegal Africa, Oslo Norway and locally at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music and Byron Bay NSW. Recently reunited back in Australia, The Strides were inspired to draw together their new experiences and attempt to broaden the scope of the jazz genre. The Strides music ranges from joyous AfroCarribean dance rhythms to

TWO RULES ABOUT FOLK CLUB Folk Club Mullumbimby returns this month on a Wednesday night instead of Thursday and the feature artist is Carl Cleves. Carl’s warm rustic voice plus his ability to tell poetic and emotional stories bring to mind Tom Waits and Joni Mitchell, and have won him many awards in world and roots categories. A nomadic past and immersion in African and Brazilian music and culture add spice to the folk and blues stew of Carl’s songs. He explores through his lyrics the lives of refugees, addicts, a child beggar, a drunk driver, the rage of obsession, the joys of solitude and travel, the smell of money and the tears of broken hearts. Carl will be showcasing his brand new solo CD All Alone on the night. As usual chalkboard opens at 7pm, so if you

wish to perform please get there early to put your name on the board. Doors open Wednesday 7.45pm show starts 8pm sharp. Admission $5. Tea, coffee and cakes available. Old Drill Hall Mullumbimby.

CARRA ON RAILS Born and raised in Jervis Bay on the south coast of New South Wales, Carra picked up a guitar at the age of twelve and has never looked back, playing in several bands throughout his adolescent years before realising his potential as a singer songwriter as he approached his 20’s. Carra’s new single Gaia is a word in Latin meaning Mother Earth and was written while inspired for ﬁve months in Malta 2006. Late 2006 James (bass player) and Carra were auditioning for a new drummer and had JJ (current drummer) come in for his ﬁrst audition. At the end of the audition, Carra bought out Gaia to keep the jam going and the rest is history. The band is formed and the song Gaia is truly spinning heads. See them Saturday at the Rails. Also at the Rails this week is Matt Seaburg Wednesday, Paul Haselgrove and Rusty Steel Thursday, Bohemian Cowboys Friday, Bluesville Station Sunday, Whiskey

Angels Monday and Olive Grove Tuesday.

Never mind the good causes, good on them for serving us up some juicy tunes for peanuts! Beats start at 12pm, and end at 2am. Bring cushions, fun stuff, kids and other playful material. Food will be available at the hall. Instead of an interview, this week we’ll get a quick preview of each DJ on the lineup, here’s the ‘Players’ from the organiser’s perspective:

D YSEULT: IN TRISTAN AN APRIL 17 BYRON FROM

Kayhat, that’s me. I’ve been on community radio (Byron, Lismore, Nimbin, Melbourne & Sydney) on and off since I was 14, that’s how I learnt to DJ, as well as jamming with two tape decks with some friends to old school acid house/rave music and rap. Only in the last couple of years have I been really dedicated to mixing with records, and I’ve started playing around with Ableton Live 7 for mixing purposes and creating my own samples, so we’ll see what happens. I’ve decided to play a set that will bridge the gap between minimal and harder edged tech/electro.’ DJ Orion has been playing within his genre

of music of m us since usic us sin the late 80s, when the whole 80 80 0s, right rig ght h w tech and the teccch movement te mov o em electronic scene ele el le ectrron nic c party p started to rear its head in Australia. He was a promoter down in Sydney and created many killa warehouse parties. Orion played with some of the biggest underground names of the time, including Carl Cox & Christian Vogel. He’s also held residency at the Verve (with the Booty Sessions), when that was happening in Byron. He once melted down many priceless records to make a sculpture just because he could. I’m still spewing at him about that, but he’s still got another 20 crates of ammo, old and new. Well worth a listen and dance, the guy knows his craft. Anton was a resident of a creative warehouse in the centre of Lismore. He and his mates had a great party with Thrash-y Metal and some Psy-Trance. I then found out he had a couple of mammoth crates of records and some ability to play as well, so we started mixing together on the regular. He’s got a really diverse collection, ranging from reggae, to hip-hop, to trance, to tech, to breaks, and even more. He also has a Faith No More record that I really want, so it should be a pretty mysterious blend well mixed. B.O.A or Bunyip On Acid. Jimmy contacted me via Oztrance and sent me a couple of banging dark Psy demos. They are still in my CD player on shufﬂe. I found out about his 4tl (4 the love) parties up in Brisbane and found that his intent was the same as my new change of heart, to provide excellent non-proﬁt parties for the people and start bridging social gaps with Gen-Pop Culture and the Psytrance movement.

BugAlugs aka Loren is Jimmy’s partner in crime up in Brissy. It’ll be great to hear a fresh new DJ out there, and we need more girls attacking the decks. Jules likes deep music and a bit more rich in texture, more based around sonic tonal variety. Cortex I’ve found that we were traveling along the same parallels of the party being about the party, and that things are possible with just a bit of spontaneous affirmative action. Steel is a Kiwi who stenciled his walls and played grungy drum and bass and grime, which I’d never heard before. He used to put on warehouse parties at the old butter factory in South Lismore. He is also a gun at the didjeridoo and the drums. Steel really personifies a movement of punk/ragga/dub/massive music that I came to associate with the Lismore underground scene. Iki Jima is a real ‘grunger’ mixer character also from the butter factory era of Lismore. Mark has mixed frequently around the traps here, and makes quite a few visits up Brisbane way for the Monster Mash sessions. He has a love for the frequently bizarre and experimental styles of music and has supported many underground experimental outfits like Kevin Blechdom, Monster Zoku Onsomb, Otto Van Strirach and Snog. Anika & Emmy-Lou are two girls who ‘rup’ up the Psy-beats. I caught up with Anika & Emmy’s set around the midnight hours at the recent Fairy’s Ball gathering in the Pocket and I had trouble finding my brains on the ground in the dark from such a good Psy set. Expect the stakes to be raised for a wonderful finale to the night.

WINSOME HOTEL, LISMORE Friday Underground is back after Easter and this Friday Nick Taylor and Elscorcho give you some! Deﬁnitely a win-win situation, go win some… and then go elsewhere where they party from Friday to Monday into the early morning hours.

WAVE is back!!

After deciding to change the performance dates to May in preference to October, because of clashes with the HSC, Shearwater’s Wearable Arts Production is racing enthusiastically down the track towards another spectacular production. Costumes are beginning to ﬁll up every bit of available space, and rehearsals span the afternoons. Hundreds of participants are engaged in set making, prop building, as models, performers, costume entrants and musicians. The storyline this year is based on the journey of Christian Rosencreutz and, with a feminine theme, is centred around a journeywoman. Students from Shearwater are involved on every level, from costume making, audio visuals, performing as musicians, dancers, actors or models, building the stage, designing lights as well as stage management of the different sections. There are 7 possible entry sections; The Garden of Earthly Delights, Crossroads & Crosscultures, Queen of the Night, Icon, Alchemia, Wings and The Chymical Wedding. If you are a designer, an artist, or just enjoy transforming unidentiﬁed objects into something incredible, then let your mind wander over these themes, grab an entry form, if you have not already done so for more information of the section themes, and come up with your own unique costume! The costume entry date has changed to the April1 so there is still time to enter a costume. Tickets will be on sale from 1 April at Shearwater. For enquiries or a brochure call the school – 6684 3223. Performance dates Wednesday May 7 (student performance) to Saturday May 10.

DRILLBIT TAYLOR There is a moment of unintended pathos in this movie when Owen Wilson, turning forty and terminally cast as the adult adolescent, exasperatedly asks himself ‘when are you going to grow up?’ Wilson reportedly attempted suicide last August and if it was because he had just seen what has become of his career through viewing this, well, you can’t blame the bloke. As Drillbit, a former soldier who went AWOL in the Middle East after discovering that he was unable to cope with confrontation, he is now a California bum of no ﬁxed address who begs and does his ablutions at the free public showers on the beach. Needing money to travel to Canada, he answers an ad and is hired to protect three gormless students who have just started junior high from a couple of bullies. The ‘hired gun’ is one of the oldest stories in the book. Kurosawa

did it with Seven Samurai, Robert Sturgess followed suit with The Magnificent Seven and here it is brought to the juvenile world, only with less memorable effect. Wilson, entrapped by the stereotype he has mastered, makes every minute that passes without him as flat as a tack. It’s a pity, for you feel that he is capable of better, a sense that is reflected by the actor himself as he puts in more than just a cursory effort at revealing his under achieving character’s selfanalysis. The three boys are (if you couldn’t pick it) i) tall, skinny and bespectacled, ii) short and fat, and iii) tooth-braced, runtish and presumably destined to grow up gay because he wears T-shirts from Cats and RENT. The guys who pick on them are old enough to drive and shave, making you wonder from the outset why they are spending so much time giving wedgies to little kids when they should be out

screwing and taking drugs. There are no shootings, but the physical violence with which matters are inevitably resolved is surprisingly brutal and unbecoming for a high school comedy which might have aimed at a message less base than an eye for an eye. The funniest scene comes at the end, when the defeated bully makes his last desperate attempt to recover his alpha male standing. He does so by hurling, of all things, a Samurai sword at the hated squirts. What Kurosawa would have thought of the homage is anybody’s guess. ~ John Campbell

STEP UP 2 THE STREETS The crowd in the Olympic Stadium a couple of Friday nights ago waiting to see the Rabbitohs v Roosters were treated to the most exhilarating and vibrant of pre-game entertainments. One thousand choreographed youngsters, accompanied by drummers, guitar and bass and a pipe band set the place alight. Dance can work wonders for jaded spirits, there’s no doubt about it, regardless of what Australia’s doyenne of the hoof, Meryl Tankard, might dismissively say of current practitioners. This surprising sequel to the 2006 original (surprising because they bothered to actually make one), is in many ways identical to its predecessor. Built around the most called upon but forever fecund of themes, boy meets girl, it is a mish mash of any number of other movies which stays alive thanks to the in your face energy of its cast. Like Hairspray, the location is Baltimore, only in the present day. Andie, the Girl from the FULLY AIR-CONDITIONED EVERY WEDNESDAY ALL SEATS ALL SESSIONS $8 ONLY

wrong side of the tracks, is accepted as a student at a prestigious college of the performing arts. Her school commitments result in her expulsion from the ‘crew’ with which she had been taking part in hip-hop showdowns with other street gangs. Her new buddies, including Chase, the Boy, decide to take on the ruling crew, ‘410,’ and beat them at their own game. Read into it Jets and Sharks, Montagues and Castanets (or was it Capulets?) – except that the two lovers are both in the same mob. ‘410’ are decent folk when we meet them, but after Andie is turfed out they are transformed into bad dudes, led by a black guy who wears a whopping gold chain around his neck that you wouldn’t burden a draught horse with. The first time Andie’s new crew meet the enemy is at a happening warehouse and, like Eminem in 8 Mile, they tank it. But do you think they’re gonna give up? What there is of plot is awfully skinny and far too trite to be emotionally involving and, with an eye on the boards of classification and contrary to the pelvic gyrations, it is totally sexless. The dancing, however, is terrific, if not exactly graceful – people spinning on their heads loses its dizzying appeal after a while. The final showdown, in which, again like Eminem, the crew triumph before a rapturous audience is done in a downpour, rather like an old time flick with Gene what’s his name in it. ~ John Campbell

THERE WILL BE BLOOD There Will Be Blood is based loosely on Upton Sinclair’s novel Oil. The film depicts the rise of fictional oil barren Daniel Plainview (Daniel Day Lewis) and this crazed lonely man’s destiny. Lewis’s performance never falters, and Anderson’s direction is impeccable. The soundtrack by Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood is landmark movie music. Lewis masterfully portrays a hateful character who can’t help but grab our attention DIRECTED BY THE COEN BROS and at least a portion of our sympathies. It’s an achievement comparable to SWEENEY De Niro’s in Raging Bull or TODD Brando’s in The Godfather. Tension mounts scene after scene until an explosive finale smacks you over the head.

CATERERS I have never developed indigestion from

Made with love and served with Macadamia Ice Cream

eating my words.

Victoria Cosford One of the great things about many art galleries â&#x20AC;&#x201C; especially the larger ones â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is that there is a cafĂŠ or restaurant attached, almost invariably stylish and almost reliably dispensing excellent food and coffee. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Doingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; a gallery can at a certain point be exhausting if you are really concentrating on the exhibitions â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s little nicer than taking a break midway, or collapsing at a table with a menu when you have ďŹ nally ďŹ nished. There do not seem to be too many reasons to go to Grafton; the annual Jacaranda festival is one, and the regional art gallery is another. The restaurant there is called Georgieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at the Gallery and quite a reason â&#x20AC;&#x201C; possibly the best â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in itself â&#x20AC;&#x201C; especially if you choose to have dinner there, when the gallery proper is closed. We had been earlier in the afternoon, browsing through the various exhibition spaces in the glorious 19th century Prentice House down a quiet part of town, intrigued by Nigel Helyerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interactive soundscape â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Naughty Apartmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x201C; eight laser-cut acrylic miniature rooms reconstructing vital scenes from a Bulgakov novel while your headphones provided narration â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and a room full of handmade silk ďŹ gures depicting the characters of the Peking Opera. At night the central courtyard is lit by a phalanx of tiny lights like stars, the service is spectacularly warm, and the food nothing short of fabulous. Left Bank restaurant at the Lismore Regional Gallery is another gem, and like Georgieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offers dinners as well as standard all-day cafe fare. If itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ ne you can sit outside ďŹ&#x201A;anked by a rose garden beyond which the river soundlessly courses â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard, actually, to tell you are in Lismore. Most gallery eateries, however, operate only within the hours of the gallery itself, and so will only serve up lunches, snacks, coffee and cake. At the Tweed River Art Gallery in Murwillumbah, stunningly situated on a hill just out of a town, the smart Gallery Cafe occupies the northern ďŹ&#x201A;ank of the building, a long narrow space looking out over the panorama of mountains and the Tweed River. The cakes are to be drooled over, if not guiltily eaten; they do an impressive lentil burger and good salads, and the coffee is lovely. Brisbaneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exciting GoMa has the Foyer Bistro which, too, looks out over river and

mountain: a modish space with a clubby feel whose menu is modern and seasonal, where you can have a glass of boutique wine unless youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re opting for tea and delicate pastries. I have been reading lately about a Gold Coast gallery called Tokonoma which Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m keen to try. Just outside Mudgeeraba in the hinterland, its settings are lush gardens and spacious decks; the art in which the gallery specialises is minimalist modern Japanese ink; and part of the venue is a green tea cafe which serves original green tea drinks and desserts such as black coffee jelly, or glutinous rice dumplings spiked with cream cheese and topped with a sweet soy sauce. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not quite sure how I feel about curry icecream â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but the whole place sounds fascinating. Then of course there are places more farďŹ&#x201A;ung â&#x20AC;&#x201C; such as the National Gallery in Canberra, currently exhibiting â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Turner to Monet : The Triumph of Landscapeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x201C; so thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be Cezanne and Gauguin, Van Gogh and Constable as well. Not to mention the superb Sculpture Garden and its restaurant, currently manned by French chef Fabien Wagnon who is turning on a special menu to match, including a Blueberry Bombe Alaska up until early June, when Canberra actually begins to feel Alaskan... At the Art Gallery of New South Wales, oasis of serenity on the edge of the Royal Botanical Gardens, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Archibald Prize time, with the Pavilion restaurant opposite providing a gourmet distraction with an all-day menu of share plates and appetisers like ConďŹ t Ocean Trout with Pickled Cucumber Salad and Sea Salt Icecream. (Why, suddenly, these strange savoury icecreams?) If in Melbourne, a train ride out of the city and a bus will eventually deposit you in the bleak and unlikely surrounds of Bulleen, an outer suburb where the birthplace of Australian Modernism can be found. Heide, three galleries in a sprawling garden on a site once owned by wealthy art collectors and patrons John and Sunday Reed, is worth the commute â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and at its very glamorous cafe you can wash down a Gippsland cheese plate served with pear, walnuts and Heide honeycomb with a ďŹ&#x201A;ute of Chandon vintage brut before recklessly deciding that yes,you can afford that little painting you were previously admiring...

NUTS TO DIE FOR

Available locally for some time has been a range of nuts made by 2Die4 Live Foods â&#x20AC;&#x201C; odd choice of name â&#x20AC;&#x201C; produced in Byron Bay; these nuts can now be found in gourmet food outlets and health food shops around the country. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s special about these nuts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; walnuts, pecans, almonds, pepitas and brazils â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is that they are fermented by a unique process, developed by food alchemist Clive Lawler, involving lengthy soaking in ďŹ ltered water, salt and whey then slowly dehydrated at low temperatures. The end result produces fantastically fresh, crunchy and tasty nuts which, moreover, are easily digestible and free from toxins and anti-nutrients. This process means that the nuts swell during soaking and, racing towards sprouting, their natural defences drop away; unlike heat or roasting, it also preserves the superb but delicate oils in the nuts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; hence their superlative ďŹ&#x201A;avour. Now if they could just work on that name.... For details of retail outlets ring 6680 9411.

Television Guide 1. Spot the Byron celebrities in the premiere of the drama series East Of Everything (ABC, Sunday, 8.30pm), filmed in a café, backpackers and council chambers near you, and starring among others Richard Roxburgh and Tom Long. Will the warring brothers settle their differences and settle down to a life of writing letters to the editor about deficiencies in the Local Environmental Plan? 2. Billy Bob Thornton, along with the wonderful Frances McDormand, stars in the excellent film noir recreation The Man Who Wasn’t There (Prime, Sunday, 1.15am), preceded by American Beauty at 10.50pm on Saturday – at last a feast for night owls. If you’re tired of plodding British coppers (how come the town of Midsomer still has a population?) and overhyped American law officers (do you have to be anorexic to join Women’s Murder Club?), then turn to finely nuanced, subtitled European fare, such as the Danish Unit One (SBS, Thursday, 8.30pm). You will believe a policeman can think.

STARS

WITH LILITH WITH THIS WEEK’S SUN WISHING ENERGETIC ARIES HAPPY BIRTHDAY, COSMIC WEATHER CONDITIONS COULDN’T BE BETTER FOR GETTING OUT AND ENJOYING THE HEAT OF THE BEAT ON THE STREET…

GEMINI: Nobody combines work and pleasure better than Geminis, and present astral aspects look set to send you into a networking frenzy. This week goes places and you like that – just know that some of those places will be thrilling, some temperamental, others confronting… CANCER: With this week’s Sun in another cardinal sign, signals in the domestic sector will be loud and clear, though possibly not entirely what you want to hear. But as long as you don’t overpersonalize things, this could be a highly exciting time in the partnership department.

VIRGO: This weeks rash, brash, slapdash citizens initiating things without finishing them will definitely test Virgo perfectionmeisters. Even so, their cheeky charm and vivaciousness are a big plus and with you supplying the necessary finesse and follow through, admirable results could be achieved. LIBRA: It’s the time of year to get clear about what you want because several versions are heading your way and you wouldn’t want to pick the wrong one, would you? Fortunately the Sun in Aries, your astrological opposite, brings the ability to make decisions instantly this week… SCORPIO: Attractions to people, deals or ideas are magnetically compelling during this week’s power and passion transit, so use your trademark cool to think things through before saying, doing or committing to anything you might regret – especially during Monday through Wednesday’s Scorpio Moon.

Sagittarius Moon combined with Jupiter in a generous mood suggests unexpected assistance, a brilliant idea or lucky break. CAPRICORN: This week delivers a welcome energy surge, but it’s also the annual do-it-my-way transit with people refusing to play by the rules and ignoring the fact that Capricorns know best. Get over it and make the most of this adventurous, patiencetesting week. AQUARIUS: This week’s receptive to original, progressive ideas so expect some stimulating developments. Its electric energy injection could send you in an exciting new direction (not that Aquarians ever need much encouragement) or if not, then operating with a fresh approach, different style and revamped image.

ARIES: This week clever Aries will play the balance Quick Clues Cryptic Clues card between leading and LEO: This week ushering in a letting others call the shots.

Sports Roundup with Eve Jeffery

results@echo.net.au

The future of women’s surfing set in stone – Jade When I was a kid there wasn’t any surf near my house. If we wanted to surf we had to trek for miles. I remember once when a bunch of us all hopped into two ‘74 Combie’s and headed to Lorne for the weekend. After a small detour to Torquay for sublime pizza, we climbed back into the buses and hit the Great Ocean road. By the time we got to Fairhaven – they used the lighthouse in Mad Max one – we decided that as the sun was about to fall over the hill, we should get out and catch a wave. Now my entire surfing experience up to this point had been sniffing the wax, trying on bathers at Mordy Surf Shop and taking a photo of Mark Richards, but really – how hard could it be? So feeling a few feet taller than I actually was, I put on the steamer that someone threw at me and headed oceanward. The first really fun bit was paddling out. WHO EVER THOUGHT OF THAT? What a stupid bloody idea? If we were meant to paddle we would be ducks. After twenty minutes I had traveled nineteen metres and I was stuffed. All the others were way out the back having way too much fun and I was stuck not here nor there, with waves pushing me in and the tide pulling me out. My friend Michelle had stayed ashore and was sitting on the Combie roof taking photos. She must have thought I was doing really well because she kept waving at me, so I waved back and she gave me the thumbs up. Or was it the thumbs up? It was the something up. Then she stood up. Up on the roof

PLAYER PROFILE Name: Jade Cody-Ward Birth sign: Cancer Favourite food: chocolate Last read: Hitler’s Daughter Last saw: Cloverfield Claim to fame: Cadet’s, Open Women’s and Women’s Club Champion for the Brunswick Boardriders 2007 Would love to have dinner with: Mark Occhilupo of the Combie. It was when I was thinking that if she kept jumping up and down on the car she would go through the roof that I noticed the thing. The big thing. The big thing that was under the water right under me thing. What to do? If I tried to get out to the others I was destined to fall off and have to swim in, and even if I reached them, what could they do? Help me scream? If I tried to get to shore, my surﬁng skills guaranteed I would end up in the drink and the thing would have me. So I did the only sensible thing I could think of: nothing. Michelle was still jumping up and down on the V-Dub but I wasn’t game

to look down again so I just lay there and held on. I am not sure what happened first. Either the fin of my board hit sand or the thing thung off, but I was sooooo happy to be on the beach. Michelle jumped off the car and I ran up the sand and we just stared terrified into each others eyes and never spoke of it again. And that was my surfing career. Now when I look back on that day I think: sunset, shadows, nervous hysterical girls – seaweed? Meh. The stuff of legends. In Jade Cody-Ward’s opinion, Mark Occhilupo is a legend, but it seems that Jade is building her own legendary status. Jade’s dad Dave is very

proud of the fourteen year old who he says is a quick study. ‘The day she learned to surf was the day she won her ﬁrst competition.’ Jade, who was originally from Sydney, moved to Brunswick Heads with her family when she was six years old. She took another four years to get into surﬁng, but since then she has been blitzing the competition winning the Bruns Boardriders 2007 Cadets and Open Women’s awards as well as being the female club champion for the last two years. Jade recently represented the Bruns club at the Kirra Teams challenge. She is only the second girl to compete in the event, and of the two she is by far the youngest. Jade

put in a great effort coming third in the junior division, competing against two 20 year old blokes! Jade, a goofy footer, is currently riding a 6’3’’ thruster but says her next board will be a ‘ﬁsh’. Her favourite local beach is Watego’s because she says it so much fun. She has just joined the Lennox Heads All Girls Surfriders Club and as well as surfing she has played representative netball and is an accomplished dancer who is a student at the Brunswick Valley School of Dance. Presently a year eight student at Mount St Pat’s in Murwillumbah, Jade says that her future lies in the waves and the ocean and she may study to be a marine biologist though she ﬁnds the idea of a professional

surfer’s life very appealing. ‘I reckon it would be the best job in the world.You get paid to surf the best waves. I would like to go into a wider variety of competitions, and maybe travel to surf and compete as well. It would be great to be the next Layne Beachley, Carissa Moore, Stephanie Gilmore or Pauline Menczer.’ Something she already has in common with Layne Beachley is her coach Steve Foreman. Steve who is the Vice President of the boardriders has been coaching Jade for a few years and it is obviously paying off. For the near future Jade will continue at the Bruns club and the All Girls to improve her skills but at the end of the day she likes to have fun. ‘I like to go surﬁng with my friends and my dad,’ says Jade who surfs all year and likes to get out in the water as often as possible. ‘One of my best memories is when I caught my ﬁrst green wave (not whitewash), and I love it when there are heaps of dolphins.’ Well Jade, I like to get out there with heaps of dolphins too but I can’t stand it when they act like seaweed!

1pm sharp on race day, with a 1.5km ocean swim, a 40km bike ride, followed by a 10km run, and it will conclude at 5pm in front of the Surf Club on the main beach at Byron. Saturday evening competitors and friends are invited to a free awards event and end of season party held at the Hotel Great Northern from 7pm. The swim leg is an ocean swim out from the main beach, followed by an out and back course from the main beach transition area to Lennox Head on the Byron Bay to Lennox Head coastal road and concludes with two laps of an out and back run course along the streets of the Byron foreshore. The Byron Bay Tri raises much needed money for the Byron Bay Surf Life Saving Club as well as the Brunswick Valley Rescue Squad and the organisers are grate-

ful for the sponsorship from the many local businesses who have really got behind this important community fund raiser. As part of the fun of the day there will of course be the usual comedic efforts with teams running under absurd names and colour combinations and the event is not just about speed and style. Just ﬁnishing the swim, bike and run is a feat in itself and race organisers are encouraging local businesses’ to enter a team and support this year’s Byron Bay Tri. Local triathletes are also invited to come along and enjoy the experience of racing alongside some of the best in the business. Entry forms are available online and you can ﬁnd out about the course descriptions and all the course maps are available at the website. Visit www.byronbaytri.com or call Jacque Hogan 0400 788446

Suffolk Park Surfer Jarrad Sullivan was a very happy chappy after his win over reigning champion Yerin Brown at Broken Head on Sunday. Photo Jeff ‘the wetter the better’ Dawson.

Last weekend saw the running of the 33rd Byron Bay Easter Classic in Memory of Ben King. The event drawing entrants from as far north as the Sunshine Coast to as far south as Sydney, was held in solid metre to metre and a half solid beach breaks at Broken Head. Maddi King, daughter of Ben King, placed 2nd in the Junior girls final, with Maddi’s brother Kurt also performing well in the event dedicated to their father who passed away suddenly in 2006. The competition was tough and the 120 athletes put in solid work to gain their places. Byron Bay surfer Jarrad Sullivan out surfed 47 rivals to be crowned this year’s Byron Easter Classic Champion. His victory was only narrowly snatched from the clutches of the 2006 Champion,Yerin Brown. Sullivan’s progression through the heats was slow but steady before pouncing in the final. The twenty-four year old from Suffolk Park displayed why he has in the past surfed as a professional when he showed that he meant business from the first wave but was matched by Brown wave for wave. In the end Sullivan’s total commitment

proved too much for Brown who surfed well, but did fall on a few rides. Sullivan scored an 8.33 for his 3rd wave where he executed two ridiculous beyond vertical inverted fin-free reentries, a real treat for the crowd. His second last wave scored 7.2 sealing victory by leaving Brown to find a highscoring wave of 7.67 to beat him. The end results for the Open were Sullivan 15.53 to Brown 15.19. Yerin did have a victory at the event, convincingly winning the Senior Men’s division only 40 minutes before the Open final. In an all Byron Bay Open final, super grommet and 2007 U16 ISA World Champion, Garrett Parkes picked up 3rd place, with Corey Garcia 4th plus the highest scoring wave of the event (9.5 points) in his semi-final. Parkes also placed 3rd in the Junior final as well. The Junior division was won by Damien Chadouy of the Reunion Islands, Kirra surfer Jack Freestone 2nd, Parkes 3rd, Jason Jamieson (Cabarita) 4th. Nine divisions were contested, with the level of surfing way in each division way above the levels of previous years. Much celebrating was had

after the event at the Great Northern who were sponsors of the event along with Corona. Other results for the day were Junior Men, 1st Damian Chadouy, 2nd Jack freestone, 3rd Garrett Parkes and 4th Jason Jameson. Senior Men, 1st Yerin Brown, 2nd Mark Richardson, 3rd Anthony Mikeliedes and 4th Shane Lawson. In the Masters the winners were: 1st Dave Sparrenberg, 2nd Mark Trauncniks, 3rd Max Perot and 4th Nick Pearson. The Women’s 1st place getter was Kirsty Shaw followed by Carly Smith and 3rd Steph Slallis, 4th Ebony Laird. The Junior Women were, 1st Cody Clein, 2nd Maddi King, 3rd Stephani Single and 4th zKelly Delang. In the Cadets the winners were 1st Damo Norman, 2nd Sol Bailey, 3rd Jackson O’Donnell and 4th Tommy Boucat. To the young and the old the Fleas winners were1st James Young, 2nd Blaine Robinson, 3rd Corey Flanagan, 4th Scott Kerr Jnr and 5th Dylan Totten and Legends 1st Neil Cameron, 2nd Paul O’Donnell, 3rd John Skinner, 4th Chris Bourke and 5th Gordon Barnes.

Planting adds the finishing touch The Bangalow Community Children’s Centre (BCCC) is now benefiting from rainwater tanks installed with the money received from the Australian Government Community Water Grant. As many will recall this grant was received by BCCC early last year. It allowed for the installation of two tanks to flush the toilets and run the washing machine. This installation is now complete and the Centre has supported the grant by installing filters to ensure the water is suitable for the children to drink and use in their play activities. A final step in the process has been the planting of a green area outside the Centre. Last month a row of Lillypillys and Grevilleas was rees)will be held at 9.30am, Ballina RSL on Fri April 4, when the guest speaker will be Allan Clarke, from Border Range Fresh Farmed Rabbit.

Men and Change The Changes program is a twelve week program, of one night per week, designed for men who are experiencing, or have experienced, the impact of signiﬁcant change in their lives and relationships. Change is often about a loss or a death of; loved ones, relationships, family structure, career, lifestyle or aspirations. Unfortunately men’s health and wellbeing statistics show that men, for whatever reasons, are not as open as women to the opportunities and challenges that change often brings. The Lismore Men and Family Centre is aware of this and is now offering a new innovative approach to assist men to understand, talk about and explore how the impact of change has, or is, affecting their lives and relationships in an open and supportive environment. The Changes program will be run in the Byron Bay/ Mullumbimby area from the evening of Thursday May 1. For more information please contact Lismore Men and Family Centre on 6622 6116.

News Extra State must address tourism decline: MP Shadow Minister for Tourism Don Page has said the latest figures showing a sharp decline in visitors to Sydney is further evidence of the State Labor Government’s lack of commitment to promoting NSW as a travel destination. ‘While other States like Victoria and Queensland are experiencing a thriving tourism industry NSW is steadily going backwards,’ Mr Page said. The results of the National Visitors Survey show a decline in the number of visitors and visitor nights in NSW during 2007. Visitors from Queensland to Sydney declined 13% last year and visitors from Melbourne declined 7.2% according to the latest statistics. ‘The State Labor Government would like to blame the declining number of visitors on external factors, but the rest of Australia are subject to those same affects. ‘The Iemma Government refuse to admit the glaringly obvious cause of the decline is their consis-

tent reduction in their tourism promotion budget. ‘The NSW promotion budget has declined 11% in real terms over the last 8 years while Victoria has increased their budget by 44% over the same period. The serious situation with the Tourism Industry in NSW needs urgent action from the Iemma Government. ‘The report commissioned last year to address this issue is now being withheld by the Premier. ‘The industry is crying out for this report and its recommendations so that they can begin to claw their way back to improving the industry and reverse the declining figures. I again call on the State Labor Government to release the O’Neill report into the State’s tourism industry immediately. ‘While the tourist numbers continue to go into free-fall, businesses are suffering. They have been suffering for a long time and will continue to do so if the Government doesn’t address the problem now.’

ADVERTORIAL

Suffolk Park property leads the Byron region

Similarly, the increase in direct flights from around the country to the very accessible Coolangatta airport, is attracting more interstate visitors and astute property owners.

Unique chance to secure an absolute beachfront Villa. For many people the dream of owning their own little piece of paradise on the vibrant coastal region surrounding Byron Bay is fast disappearing. However, others recognise that this stunning location still offers a few rare and affordable opportunities to purchase their dream home - and the dream lifestyle that goes with it. The future of the property market surrounding Byron Bay has never been brighter, or more in demand, with the $543 million Tugan Bypass meaning the area will soon be just a 40 minute drive from the Gold Coast. And when the bypass opens - in approximately mid 2008 - the Byron region will be as close to Brisbane, as Brisbane is to Noosa in the north. Making Byron a very comfortable distance, and a popular alternative, for a weekend or day trip!

One of the star performers in the property market has been Suffolk Park, a small community just 5 minutes south of Byron Bay. According to a number of seasoned real estate agents and trend watchers, Suffolk Park is one of the hottest areas on the east coast and it is leading the surge in property prices. In fact, in property investment terms it is performing better than traditional hot spots, including Noosa, Port Douglas and the in-demand areas of the Gold Coast. Indeed, property prices in Suffolk Park have been rising by 20% on average per year, for the last 5 years. Described by residents as reflecting ‘the way Byron Bay used to be many years ago’, Suffolk Park consists of a limited number of homes - and an even more limited number of beachfront homes surrounded by natural bush. With this strictly limited number of home sites, the area is set to remain both peaceful and exclusive - and yet it has the convenience and the benefit of local amenities including shops and a pub. So when an opportunity as unique as Whipbird Blue comes onto the market - you know it will never be repeated. Whipbird Blue is a prestigious development consisting of just two

private Villas, located on a unique absolute beachfront site. With the pristine surf of Tallow Beach just metres from the property, these Villas have already attracted the attention of buyers who want luxury beachfront living - without the $10 million plus price recently being asked for Gold Coast beachfront. The architect designed Villas are beautifully secluded and surrounded by natural bush, including large, shady Tuckaroo Trees. The luxurious design makes the most of the private location with floor to ceiling windows that open to catch the sea breezes. The elevated two-level contemporary design has it all - including high ceilings, spacious open living areas, 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, rumpus room or 4th bedroom shady decks, private plunge pool and a cosy built-in fireplace.

Blissfully removed from the hustle and bustle of the centre of Byron Bay, the friendly, laid back atmosphere of Suffolk Park attracts those who want to enjoy the natural location and lifestyle. And according to local real estate agents, the demand is set to continue to outstrip supply – with homes being snapped up within a week of going on the market. Which makes Whipbird Blue an astute purchase to enjoy now and a strategic investment for the future.

It was heartening to hear Australian government ministers, particularly health minister Nicola Roxon, talk like real human beings last week when Kevin Rudd committed to a nine point declaration of intent to improve the health and wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders. The statement of intent was drafted by Close The Gap, Australia’s largest ever campaign to close the 17-year life expectancy gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. It had a strong internet presence, and you can still add your support at www.closethegap. com.au. Q Q Q Q Talking about internet campaigns, the GetUp organisation points out: ‘As Australians, we are in a unique position right now to help stop the cultural genocide taking place in Tibet. That’s because Kevin Rudd is visiting Beijing to meet the Chinese President and Premier – the two men who are able to put an end to this crisis. With the impending Beijing Olympics, where the world’s eyes will focus on China, we have a once in a decade chance to make a real difference.’You can sign a petition to Mr Rudd to use his inﬂuence - and his Chinese language skills - to stand up for the human rights of Tibetans at www.getup.org.au/campaign/StandUpForTibet. Q Q Q Q More local businesses are getting involved in Earth Hour (www.earthhour.org), a global campaign to inspire people to take action on climate change. The latest are Rose Wanchap’s Byron Central Apartments Management and Red Rose Realty. Says Rose: ‘We will be turning off the lights in the 35 units which we manage at

They shot at the speed camera and missed. Jeff ‘More Glass Than Class’ Dawson snapped this image of the view through the glass wall on the St Helena hill.

Byron Central Apartments for the hour. We will be advising our holiday makers that this will be happening. We will be offering a free BBQ to our guests around the pool to encourage them to think about the ramifications of global warming on our lives.’ Rose also hopes other similar local businesses will join in the campaign. The hour begins at 8pm on Saturday March 29. Q Q Q Q Too late for the letters pages, Michael Balson writes: ‘Welcome to Byron Bay! Another holiday season, and parking fines rain down like confetti on our Easter guests. A $79 fine certainly spoils a good breakfast, and sours the “Byron experience”. After the wettest and worst trading summer for decades (plus mandatory 6% rental increase per annum) and draconian parking fines, Byron CBD retailers are certainly doing it tough. It is the only town in the Shire with one-hour parking restrictions. How

about being a bit more generous to our guests and local retailers, and extend our CBD parking limit to two

hours, so visitors can enjoy their shopping experience without being slugged for it?’
