Three youths charged over Suffolk mayhem Jann Gilbert Two youths aged 18 and 21 and a juvenile have been charged in relation to the recent break-in and motor vehicle theft in Suffolk Park.

Inspector Greg Jago from Byron Bay Police says, ‘A 21-year-old Suffolk Park man was arrested by police last week and charged in regard to a number of break and enter offences and steal motor vehicle offences, and he will be appearing at Byron Bay local court on April 24.’

The 18-year-old youth and the juvenile were also charged with

similar offences. All were released on bail.

Owner of the Alcorn Street property that was broken into and owner of one of the vehicles, Rod Lambert, is extremely disappointed that none of the alleged offenders was remanded, and that bail was set at only $1000.

Considering there was over $200,000 worth of damage and Rod is $3000 out-of-pocket on the lease of the car (not to mention the insurance excess etc) $1000 bail seems a paltry sum.

‘I’ve been advised by my solicitor that I can start civil proceed-

mooks

ings to recover the costs so I’ll be doing that, just to keep the pressure on him,’ says Rod. In relation to the robbery, a report from an unnamed source a couple of weeks ago indicated that police had discovered an Aladdin’s Cave of stolen goods in a house in Suffolk Park during their investigations.

Inspector Jago can now confirm that a substantial amount of stolen property has been recovered by police, and is believed to be the proceeds of the alleged offences.

Some of the property appar-

ently relates to break and enters and other alleged offences committed over the past several months.

‘We’ve been able to locate most of the owners [of the stolen property],’ says Insp. Jago. ‘But we’ve got a few items that we haven’t been able to track down owners for at this point, and we’re still working on that.’

The Echo reported on April 1 that some of the mayhem in Suffolk Park involved stealing two new BMWs and driving them off the side of the Broken Head quarry into the mud below.

Adopting the same principles used by free diving experts, these tail fins cause the wearer to undulate, resulting in efficient propulsion through the water for fun bodysurfing and elegant exercise. Mahina hopes to go into production soon. She is also developing a book and film script on this watery theme with a strong focus on the environment and ‘important messages for children’.

Mullum hydro tour sparks debate Story & photo Eve Jeffery Richard Crighton is adamant that the historic hydroelectric power station at Wilsons Creek stay just where it is.

Richard, who retired when the plant closed its doors in 1988, loves machines and enjoyed his work at the station immensely. ‘This was my home,’ said Richard. ‘It is sad to see it in such a state of disrepair.’

It is this decay that was the motivation for a tour of the facility last week. Representatives from the Brunswick Valley Historical Society, The National Trust and a heritage consultant joined Country Energy’s regional general manager Brian Glawson for a tour of the station on Wednesday.

The purpose of the tour was for Country Energy to seek the advice of the Historical Society and other interested community members to ensure equipment associated with the former power station is preserved.

Country Energy proposes to dismantle the rundown power station building as part of a redevelopment of its Mullumbimby zone station, which is adjacent to the building.The work will be incorporate into the major electricity network upgrade between Lismore and Mullumbimby currently under way.

Mr Glawson said the building was dilapidated and contained asbestos, making it an occupational health and safety risk. He said Country Energy wanted to remove the structure and use the available space for necessary improvements to the zone substation.

‘We considered relocating the zone substation in the same general area, but the cost would be prohibitive – more than $10 million – and create a greater impact both socially and environmentally,’ he said.

‘It’s a pity, but the state of the building and its location

and

within the zone substation means that at present there is no public access for enthusiasts to enjoy the old equipment. Today’s tour is a chance to show the Historical Society members and Byron Shire Council representatives what equipment is here and discuss its preservation and look for options for housing it.’

There was quite a bit of discussion from those gathered about the merit of moving the equipment and there were some who thought that it should be retained as a backup to the current system, a standalone power generator for a smaller area or as a ‘Power House Museum’ type tourist attraction. There was also a suggestion that the machinery could be rehoused at the recently acquired Telstra site.

It was agreed that a group of interested parties should convene a meeting to formulate a plan of management for the future of the station.

Country Energy no longer holds a water licence for Wilson’s Creek which makes running of the machinery impossible.

‘We think the best option now is for the equipment to

be located where enthusiasts can view and appreciate it rather than have it locked away and deteriorating,’ Mr Glawson said, ‘We’d like to work with the community to achieve this.’

Ex station employees Richard and Ray Musgrove would like to see the building remain where it is and

the machinery restored for the tourist trade by those who could benefit from the experience, for example trainees and apprentices.

‘If the opportunity arose,’ said Richard, ‘I would happily give my time to supervise the restoration of the equipment and the operation of a tourist facility.’

Healing wave Ki to health Universal life force, variously known as Chi, Ki and Qi, will be the focal point of an arts festival to be held in Bangalow on the weekend in conjunction with World Tai Chi and Qigong Day, an annual global healing event.

World Tai Chi Day, which is in its tenth year, endeavours to bring people together across economic and geographical lines for the purpose of health and healing.

To highlight the event the Qifull Qigong and Tai Chi Network are hosting the Australasian Qi/Chi/Ki Arts Fes-

tiival which will open at the A and I Hall on Friday evening.

Over the two days several eminent Tai Chi, Qigong, Aikido and meditation masters along with musicians, performers and other teachers in the arts of calligraphy, feng shui, Origami and the Art of Tea will be sharing their knowledge.

The festival includes a junior art exhibition and a variety of activities for all ages from a program that starts on Friday at 7pm. See more at www.myspace.com/ qifullnetwork.

Bluesfest plans single gig at new site Jann Gilbert Unlike the Blues Festival itself, the information session held on the new site at Tyagarah on Saturday was so low-key you’d be forgiven for missing it.

But despite little advertising or signage the planner, Greg Alderson, and bluesfest commercial manager Vickii Cotter were happy to provide details and attempt to allay the fears of residents, both near and far.

Number one question on everyone’s lips was, ‘how many festivals per year?’ In the words of Greg and Vickii, ‘one, and one only.’

According to the brochure the event will run for five days annually, have five event stages, cater for 20,000 patrons per day, and provide camping facilities for 7,000, car parking for 7,000 and public transport for 6,000.

‘We’re not applying for a DA to turn this into a permanent festival site,’ says Vickii Cotter. ‘We’ll be applying for a DA for one five-day festival, the Blues Festival, per year. It takes us a whole year to organise, and we have four other festivals that we run in other parts of the country, so we simply wouldn’t have the time.

When the land here isn’t being used for the festival it will remain as a working farm combining grazing and ti-tree plantations.’

With this idea in mind the DA will feature very little in the way of permanent infrastructure. Fixed infrastructure will be limited to roads, fencing and water storage tanks. All toilet and amenities blocks, and pretty much all other infrastructure, will be trucked in and out each year.

friendly but then permanent infrastructure would no doubt leave the bean counters anxious to have it pay its way, which would probably result in more festivals, so it turns out to be a blessing(?) in disguise.

Approximately threequarters of the site is already cleared and the festival will make use of these interconnected paddocks for the entertainment stages and catering, parking and camping, with no additional clearing of native vegetation necessary.

A site tour conducted by Greg Alderson highlighted one of the greatest problems festival-goers will face if the weather at that time of the year remains true to form.

The recent deluge of rain caused minor flooding at the site which, according to the hydrological modelling, is prone to minor and major flooding depending on rainfall patterns.

‘It’s a difficult site to manage,’ says Greg, ‘but we have no intention of using fill

apart from what is necessary for road structures. What we’ll do is seek to improve the drainage and direct it away to the natural watercourses on the property. In the worst case scenario, in years of very heavy rainfall, the festival may have to be postponed.’

As far as noise levels are concerned, with the nearest property 700 metres away across the Pacific Highway, it’s more likely the highway will produce greater noise impact.

‘The decibel level at the perimeter is expected to be 50 decibels,’ says Greg. ‘At both Sunrise and Red Devil Park the level was 60 but since this is a quieter environment it’s been set lower, at 50.’

Organisers trialled hay bales for sound baffling at the 2008 festival with good results, and they’ll use them again at the site if necessary.

Finally, traffic movement to and from the site appears to be well considered with all parking located at the north-

ern end in close proximity to the freeway entrance and exit. There will be regular shuttle buses from Brunswick Heads, Mullumbimby and Byron Bay, and a Blues Fest Train is even being considered between Mullumbimby, Byron and the festival site.

‘There was a station at Tyagarah years ago,’ says Greg. ‘It’s being discussed with the state government.

It’s a much greener way of moving people.’

Other issues such as illegal camping and social impacts are dealt with in the discussion paper published by the Blues Fest. For general information and answers addressing some of the concerns in the community the discussion paper and the brochure are worth the read.

No doubt they will be available from the Blues Fest office.

Landslip forces Possum Shoot Road closure Byron Shire Council has closed the entire length of Possum Shoot Road from the intersection of Myocum Road and Coolamon Scenic Drive. ‘Heavy rain experienced over the last 24 hours has further impacted an existing landslip, creating a significant traffic hazard for road users,’ said Council in a press release last week.

‘Signs and barricades for the road closure and detours

are in place at Myocum Road and Coolamon Scenic Drive to advise drivers. Barriers are in place at the slip to prevent any access.

‘All local residents along Possum Shoot Road will be allowed to access their properties from either end, but they will not be allowed to pass the slip, which is located approximately halfway along Possum Shoot Road. Any through traffic

will need to take alternative routes to their destinations.

All local emergency services have been advised, as well as the local bus operators who provide services to school children in the area.’

Further inspections and an assessment of the safety of the road will take place this week. Depending on the outcomes of those inspections, work will be car-

ried out to make the road safe for the possibility of reinstating ‘one lane’ traffic use. If the extent of works required are substantial, the road will remain closed until Council is able to plan and undertake the necessary works.

Council apologised for any inconvenience. Enquiries to Angelo Casagrande, Council’s Manager Works on 6685 9300.

Councillor moves to use Roundhouse site for aged care At this week’s Thursday meeting Byron Shire Council will debate a motion from Cr Richard Staples to revisit development plans for the 1.4 hectare Roundhouse site in Ocean Shores, which it acquired in the mid-90s.

Although Council has a

2003 consent for an 11-lot subdivision of the site, Cr Staples is urging re-consideration of aged care housing as an alternative. He points out that many newly arrived Shire residents are in the 50-60 age bracket and that their numbers are swelling

the natural ‘baby-boomer’ bulge as this age cohort approaches its senior years.

‘What I envisage is about 100 single room serviced apartments,’ Cr Staples said.

‘Instead of 11 mansions trying to out-build each other, a single integrated design

could maximise the advantages of this unique site, particularly the stunning views, while minimising impact on the neighbouring area.’

Cr Staples is proposing Council investigate financing and management options for the concept.

Local News Art up close and personal

As the acrylic dries on her most recent painting Sun’s Pathway, local artist Solveig (pronounced sool-way) prepares for her upcoming ‘Up Close & Personal’ show.

Featuring a handful of her latest originals, the exhibition will continue Solveig’s foray into a semiabstract world of natural close-ups shaped by her ‘graphic impressionist’ style.

Zooming right into her oft Byron Shire inspired subject matter, Solveig turns nature scapes into vibrant masses of high-contrast colour, and through her illustrative technique, she breathes life and movement into each of her artworks.

‘Your eyes just can’t sit there,’ Solveig says. ‘They get drawn from colour to colour creating a sense of aliveness.’

Solveig’s Sun’s Pathway, Grass Tree, Water’s Edge, Grounded and Jacaranda Time will make up the ‘up close’ element of the exhibition while the ‘personal’ part of the show will feature Boundary, Zen Witch and Life Drop.

Accompanied each by a haiku poem, these ‘personal’ works represent a new artistic direction for Solveig, which explores a poetic commentary of the human condition.

‘Boundary looks at the

barrier we as people put up to keep our feelings in and other people out. We don’t realise we ultimately build a wall that separates us from our desires and what we truly want.

‘Zen Witch focuses on our sensitivity and lack thereof to our own innate talents and ability to create magic in our lives.’

Opening night kicks off Friday May 2 from 6.30pm to 8:30pm at Café Mazah in Mullumbimby with the café showing Solveig’s originals until mid May. A complete gallery of Solveig’s artworks is available online at www.solveig. com.au.

Still the land of crash and burn Jann Gilbert A recent pile burn carried out in Tristran Parade in Mullumbimby highlighted the problems associated with burning off in general, particularly in the semi-rural landscape that characterises the area.

The five-metre-high by three-metre-wide pile of timber that remained after clearing had sat on the property for about two years. During this time it ceased to be a pile of felled timber and became a habitat for a variety of small animals.With building of the house imminent the landowner applied for permission to burn the pile rather than removing it, citing the cost of removal as prohibitive.

Neighbour, Nadia de Souza Pietramale, who is a bush regenerator, tried to dissuade the landowner from burning the pile and suggested that he drag the logs onto her property to let them mulch down or, in the case of the larger ones, become habitat.

‘Why do they have to burn?’ asks Nadia. ‘It’s not rubbish, it’s a resource. I’d be happy to have it here.’

Apparently this was all too difficult or costly or both and the landowner opted to burn.

(If Byron Shire Council went to a ‘no-burn’ status the landowner would not have had this option and would have been forced to find an alternative method of disposal.)

While it may have a rural outlook, Tristran Parade is within the Mullumbimby town boundaries and, when it comes to the issue of fire permits, the area falls under the jurisdiction of the NSW Fire Brigade rather than the Rural Fire Service. Because it deals with ‘in town’ situations, the Brigade’s central concern is in meeting clean air regulations when any burn is conducted. Permits for in-town pile burns are generally not issued mainly due to the proximity of other residents or businesses.

As Zone Duty Commander Inspector Chris Fabri says, ‘They’re a pain in the butt. The main complaint is about the smoke, which is understandable.’

Tristran Parade, however, was a fairly unique situation and when Mullumbimby Brigade Captain Josh Rushton received the application from the landowner he immediately consulted with Chris Fabri and decided to ask the advice of Council.

‘No problem’ Council’s Environmental Health Officer, David Bell, says, ‘Council didn’t feel there would be a problem with pollution in terms of the clean air regulations and we gave that advice to the Brigade but we didn’t request them to issue the permit.’

To be fair to all concerned, the landowner did seek the correct approvals and permit, the Brigade consulted Council on the issue and there was a general consensus ‘that deemed the pile OK to burn’.

However, despite the existence of comprehensive information on pile burning (Standards for Pile Burning), which is freely available from the Fire Control Office or online, it seems that the landowner conducting the burn was either not made aware of this information or, in a worst case scenario, chose to ignore it. (In the absence of evidence to the contrary, it appears more likely to be the former rather than the latter.) The

Echo did ask for a comment from the landowner but no response was received.

Had the information on pile burning been made available, no doubt the landowner would have realised that the pile he had created was way outside the standards.

‘The piles are meant to be no more than 1.5 metres Serious threat high by two metres wide,’ Tree hollows are in short says Nadia. ‘And they’re not supply and can take 150 years meant to contain logs over to form. This poses a very 150mm in diameter. It’s not serious threat for the long a bonfire.’ term survival of local hollowTaking refuge nesting animals such as owls, This is precisely as per the micro bats, gliders and posbrochure. The reasoning sums. If these animals aren’t behind this is to produce able to find a place to roost fires of less intensity.

Not to menalso instruct to ‘disturb piles tion that burning releases immediately prior to lighting more carbon into the atmoto scare away animals … that sphere rather than storing it may be taking refuge in the in the ground.

Before deciding to burn, pile.’

‘After that, the idea is to think about the many other light them at the top, from ways the timber could be one end, so that you give any used. In most cases it’s taken animals time to escape a long time to get here and the greatest tragedy is to watch it safely,’ says Nadia.

Unfortunately, the pile simply go up in smoke.

simple communication. The information is already available it just needs to be provided with the fire permit.

Disappointingly, the Brigade’s take on it according to Josh Rushton is that ‘once the permit is issued, it’s the responsibility of the landowner to follow the guidelines for the burn.’

That’s providing of course that the landowner is made aware of what the guidelines are and how to get hold of them. Since the Fire Brigade issues the permit it would seem logical to also provide the information.

Ideally, burning should be a last (if any) resort.There are many other uses for this valuable resource such as garden borders, firewood, mulch for garden beds or, in the case of larger logs, habitat.

Mullum to Macedonia, and beyond...

Story & photo Lou Beaumont This is a story for those of you who live for the moment and meet life’s challenges and people with an open heart and mind. By the time you read this, one Mullumbimby woman’s curiosity will have led her to Macedonia. Tuesday April 22 sees Sabine Hellfaier joining Australian Ben Dale on the ďŹ nal leg of a pilgrimage that has taken him from England to Macedonia, and now to Jerusalem, all on foot.

Sabine and Ben have never met, and while the ďŹ nal destination and the word pilgrim are synonymous with religion, the journey’s purpose is less so. The positive consequences of such a journey are many but the overall motivation is simply goodwill. Ben’s philosophy is that no matter where he goes he is met with love and respect, regardless of culture, politics or religion and it is his intention to share this discovery with everyone.

On a self-ďŹ lmed YouTube clip, Ben tried to explain why he was walking, ‘I am learning a lot about myself and humanity by engaging in this pilgrimage. From Canterbury to Macedonia there have been numerous occasions where I’ve just been invited in off the street, sometimes my hosts can’t speak a word of English... they will invite me in, sit me down with their family and let me stay a night in their house, and it’s experiences like that that are just magical. It makes it all worthwhile. ‘We have a lot of preconceptions of what cultures are like based on the news that we receive, and generally the news is all negative, so there’s a lot of mistrust and fear of

I’m really enjoying capturing this on film and having the opportunity of sharing this with the world. ‘My goal is to dispel these preconceptions with regard to other cultures. I want to show the reality of the situation on the ground in these places.’ Ben set off from Canterbury, England, in May last year. For the most part Ben has been walking alone, but his mum, Stephanie Dale, joined him last September in Rome and they walked together to TiranĂŤ in Albania.

The journey was halted due to the icy winter that they met at the foothills of the Macedonian mountains.

help him and his new companion Sabine in their path through the Middle East.

So how is it that two strangers have decided to share a four month pedestrian journey? On her return to home town Mullumbimby, Stephanie Dale sent an email telling people of her son’s journey. When Sabine Hellfaier read the email Ben’s story instantly resonated with her.

Sabine explains, ‘My ďŹ rst thought was, “Here is an opportunity for adventure, to make a documentary and to fulďŹ ll an old urge to walk to Jerusalem.â€? It just felt right and I immediately called Stephanie.’ The two women had never met before, but as soon as Sabine called, Stephanie knew she was already committed to the four month trek.

Speaking from ďŹ rst hand experience, Stephanie said, ‘She has everything this journey needs. She has the mental, emotional and spiritual capacity that is required.

Physically it is possible but

you need to be strong in other ways too. ‘When you walk you meet the stories in your head straight on. Some days your thoughts will uplift you and others they will drag you down. As a walking pilgrim you meet life – whether in sunshine or snow. There is no driving around anything, you must meet it in the moment. You are of the places you walk through, it can take days to pass one landmark you’d otherwise drive past in a moment. You are truly walking the wheel of life.’ Naturally excited and a bit apprehensive about her trip, Sabine told The Echo, ‘I’m glad to be walking through the Middle East. I want to challenge all that I hear about the culture and see the true openness and loving hearts of the people there.’ You can join them on the journey at Ben’s website www.partypilgrims.com and also onYouTube. Email your support or get involved in some way by contacting the pilgrims via the site.

Awash in a ood of goodwill Vol 22 #45

April 22, 2008

War and consequences This coming Friday Australia commemorates ANZAC Day, on which we honour the war dead and reect on the nature of war – and the inevitability of death. It is part of the perversity of our national character that we would honour the ‘blooding’ of our youth with the Gallipoli defeat in World War I. In that conict English poet soldier Wilfred Owen debunked the idea that it was sweet and ďŹ tting to die for one’s country – see www.warpoetry.co.uk/ owen1.html. To die for one’s family and friends, as when Japan was about to sweep down to Australia, is another matter.

Some might think that ANZAC Day gloriďŹ es war. It might be a useful tool in the mind of a few politicians seeking to use patriotism as a career leg-up but for returned soldiers it’s mostly about remembering the mates they lost. As one World War II digger told The Echo, ‘When I march, a thousand ghosts march with me.’ As long as old men can convince young men (and women) it is sweet and ďŹ tting to die for one’s country – or any fabricated cause – then we will not learn from history how armed conict scars a generation and the generations which follow. We will continue to send our soldiers on militaristic incursions on behalf of powerful allies into conicts in far-away countries.

The fundamentalism, nationalist or religious, which produces war is anathema to the nation state.

It interferes with peaceful trade between countries and in some cases obliterates cultures built up over centuries. It leaves behind it grieving partners, orphans and families and countryside littered with landmines for the beneďŹ t of rich industrialists. Your average Bruce or Mohammed would be happy for life to roll along pleasantly.

Jihad is in the mind of power-hungry fanatics or those oppressed by the consequences of 19th and 20th century colonialism which still haunt us today.

America’s invention of the ‘War on Terror’ does nothing to ease the conict.

As Mungo MacCallum has noted on a number of occasions, politics may be unpleasant but it is much better than the alternative. As long as we can keep talking to each other, the bombs will not fall.

Individuals can engage in that dialogue by pressing their elected representatives to promote peace among nations – there are now global problems to deal with which will not wait on our petty conicts.

I

f it has achieved nothing else, Kevin Rudd’s 20/20 Vision Thingo has given new meaning to the term Mass Debate.

The level of self-gratiďŹ cation that owed out of Canberra at the weekend reached something close to flood proportions. If we only could have harnessed it we could have dispensed with coalďŹ red power stations for at least a month.

Most of the inundation came, of course, from the pushier summiteers; those who failed to get a word in edgewise were less effusive.

But as they emerged, blinking, to confront the real world, there appeared to be a general sense of catharsis, if not of actual achievement.

Whether this is maintained after the inevitable postsummit tristesse sets in is another question entirely. It will take the government the rest of the year to decide which items on the extensive wishlist are to be translated into reality. The timing is suspiciously convenient; a cynic might believe that the release of the government’s program will take place in the middle of the silly season, thus attracting a minimum of attention.

The same cynic might predict that when the program emerges, it will have more to do with the government’s own politically pragmatic agenda than with the aspirations of the summiteers, most of which will have faded in the public memory in eight months time. But at least Kevin Rudd’s carefully selected best and brightest have not made the task of reconciling the two approaches too arduous.

As most commentators have already noted a lot of the proposals are already

part of broad Labor policy, and none that I have seen is seriously incompatible with it. The summit has succeeded triumphantly in what was always its principal political aim: the ALP is now firmly ensconced at the political centre.

It is a long time since it could be called radical, but now it has become positively mainstream, even establishment. The summit has conďŹ rmed Rudd Labor as the one true representative of the Australian people, perhaps even (be still my beating heart) the natural party of government.

In the wake of this apotheosis, any criticism is bound to appear carping, but it must be said that while there was no shortage of ideas in

It will take the government the rest of the year to decide which items on the extensive wishlist are to be translated into reality.

by Mungo MacCallum Canberra over the weekend, very few of them were genuinely original and none that I have seen was of the kind which would capture the imagination of millions.

Sure, it would be nice to completely rewrite both the constitution and the taxation act, to abolish the states and have uniform laws and regulations across the country.

However, none of these things is likely to happen in my lifetime (nor in yours, gentle reader); Australia is not the place for a revolution, even of the bloodless political variety.

The best we can realistically look forward to is a reformed and revitalised federal system in an Australian republic; and

most of us would happily settle for that.

Until we see the results of the culling process it is hard to be any more speciďŹ c, but we can be certain that some ideas will receive more urgent consideration than others. The proposal for onestop childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s centres is neither original (it was first mooted in England some years ago) nor innovative (it is already widely implemented in Victoria). But given that it has now been claimed by Rudd himself, it will become a priority.

It sounds like a good idea, but there are other matters which could be considered more pressing. One of the disappointments of the summit was the panel on climate change, an area crying out

for an audacious and radical approach; its report was sadly timid.

We can only hope that the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own advisers are more courageous. If consideration of the summit reports and attempts to integrate them with the governments own program are seen to be delaying reform â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or worse still as a substitute for it â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the current euphoria will dissipate very quickly.

Rudd is already being accused of being too much talk and too little action; more sizzle than sausage.

Comparisons have been made with Malcolm Fraser, of all people. Absurd as the criticism is, Rudd needs to

dissipate it as fast as possible. Hopefully the budget will do the trick and convince the remaining doubters that the summit was part of the reform process, not an excuse to avoid it.

But overall Rudd will be well-satisďŹ ed. The summit has given at least the illusion of a government willing to listen to the constituents; it has conďŹ rmed his mandate for change, endorsed most of his platform and provided him with a springboard for his ďŹ rst term.

And of course, it has marginalised the opposition still further. Once again Brendan Nelson dithered. First he said he thought it was a pretty good move. But when he and his shadow ministers were invited to take part, the hardliners persuaded him that they shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get sucked in to Ruddâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s slipstream.

Nelson then became a critic, albeit a half-hearted one: while off on his own listening tour, he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bring himself to attack the concept as such. Instead, he niggled about the selection process and the absence of his own old organisation, the Australian Medical Association.

But when the summiteers assembled, Nelson played the political groupie; he attended, but only as a hanger-on. He was, he announced, a listener; he had no ideas of his own.

He could have put it better.

I was reminded irresistibly of another Liberal opposition leader, Billy Snedden, who opened his election campaign in 1974 with the line: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Wherever I go in Australia, people know there is something wrong.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; At least he survived to ďŹ ght one election.The chances of Nelson doing so appear more remote by the hour.

Developments at Main Arm It surely is no coincidence that both developers in the controversial Main Arm development have lodged their DAs at the same time.

The submission period of 20 days for the Davis DA for 24 houses ends on April 30.

Council has advised that the Regenesis DA for 26 houses and a supposed small shopping ‘mall’ was lodged on Friday April 11. Once more the community will be put at a disadvantage and it makes a mockery of ‘community consultation’. The Davis DA alone is a telephone book size document.

It is now only through the submission process that our local community can have any chance of input into the future of Main Arm. Overwhelming community opposition to this inappropriate development was ignored by BSC in December 2006 when it chose to support developers and an already outmoded Byron Rural Settlement Strategy [BRSS] by allowing the necessary rezoning. Now all we can hope to do is get the number of houses reduced and try and get the necessary developer

contributions to improve the access roads and upgrade the causeway, provide parking, bike tracks and more community amenities such as a community garden.The Byron community may recall that Main Arm was initially withdrawn from the Draft BRSS because of the inhibiting costs of improving infrastructure.

Both developments, as submitted in the rezoning stage, seemed to have impressed BSC councillors with their promises for community ‘development’ (sic).

MARA has many concerns with the Davis DA. Many of the proposals seem to be cutting the costs to the developer.

The original idea, welcomed by BSC, was that the 11 village lot houses would have one waste water system to reduce water contamination risks at the top of the Brunswick River catchment.

Now each buyer will be responsible for installing his own individual waste treatment system.

All the village houses are in designated floodplain – and five out of the 11 pro-

posed houses in the south village would be located within 50 metres of the environmentally sensitive Brunswick River or Blindmouth Creek. This contravenes BRSS guidelines and the Department of Natural Resources stated in its 2006 rezoning submission to Council: ‘The Department is opposed to the creation of any new properties which adjoin a defined watercourse in particular the Brunswick River and Blindmouth Creek in the Main Arm area...

None of the area which is subject to flooding should be rezoned within the village boundaries.’

The road accessing the 13 houses on the Community Title is gravel – not the best for a new road in a high rainfall area adjacent to watercourses.The proposal for making our perilous causeway safer is to erect two gates at either end. These will be locked in time of flood, the keys being held by the SES and BSC. What a novel idea – Main Arm is to become a gated community! The Davis DA also offers a safety rail to be erected on one side of the

Those who object to these trails must have been aware of the road’s existence when they bought their property or at least have been made so by their legal advisers.

‘global warming’ by growing biofuel has failed, and failed completely. If global warming doesn’t kill off civilisation then civilisation will kill itself off as it fails to come up with positive ‘thought through’ solutions to global warming.

We have to do much better than biofuel and carbon credits. Let us all crank up our imagination for survival, or start digging the graves of our children’s future.

Biofuel graves Biofuel in your tank equals many hungry families in the third world, and that’s a fact.

Man’s first attempt to control

causeway.What is required is a realignment of Main Arm Road to allow for a direct line of sight on the approach to the Blindmouth Creek crossing and also a new bridge.

The costs of an infrastrucure upgrade need to be met by the developers bringing this 500% increase in houses to Main Arm. If the community and BSC fails to get sufficient developer contributions at this stage it will be Byron ratepayers who will be footing the bill in the future to improve access roads and upgrade causeways. Unfortunately BSC has now set a precedent for development in Main Arm which will be increasingly difficult for the local community or even future local governments to reverse. MARA will be requesting that BSC extend the DA submission period to allow it reasonable time to respond .

In the meantime MARA asks concerned community members to lodge submissions to Council by April 30.

possibly be true, this release of fear does nothing to dismiss the reality of it, no matter how good it feels.

There’s no point wasting time on feelgood projects like saving the rainforests or keeping the streets clean, or worrying about the global warming or peak oil hoaxes, when chemtrails are changing our skies possibly forever and taking away our vital energies and natural birthrights to clean air, food, water and vitality and health.

■ A big thankyou to Michael McDonald for investigating further one aspect of the chemtrail saga (Echo, March 15).

The time has come for people to stop ridiculing what they don’t understand and acknowledge that quite possibly the most serious of all crimes against all of humanity and our only environment is occurring over our very heads on an almost daily basis, all over the world, poisoning our food and water supplies and stealing nature’s right to control the weather by natural means.

War is never a pretty scene, and war tactics over the past century have never been so hi-tech or secretive. Controlling the world’s weather is by far and away the greatest weapon the ‘military industrial complex’ could wield, deciding the fate of all nations and deciding who should starve, who should prosper, who will have to pay (and pay) for everything from basic food requirements to every other requirement for living (if a life of slavery can be called living).

Alan Watterson would prefer a conspiracy to be more ‘interesting’, perhaps involving his prefered dead celebrity or communist hoax.

Tibet history Is anyone else fed up with all the denunciations of China and eulogising of Tibet? Perhaps the Chinese administration doesn’t adhere to our high standards of respect for human rights – and given our recent treatment of asylum seekers and current role in Iraq and Afghanistan might we not be on rather shaky ground? – but the assumptions most people seem to be making about life in Tibet prior to the Chinese occupation are well off the mark, perhaps based on

some sort of idealistic adulation of Tibetan Buddhism and total ignorance of the realities of historical Tibet.

Tibet was no Shangri-La as anyone who is genuinely interested can discover for themself; an article by Michael Parenti to be found at www.informationclearinghouse.info/article19605.htm is highly instructive. Parenti describes a feudal society in which the majority of the rural population were serfs, treated little better than slaves and living without schooling or medical care.

They were bound to their masters and totally under their control; they were taxed heavily, women and girls were used as the landowners wished and cruelty was rife.

The theocracy’s religious teachings supported the class order and young Tibetan boys were regularly taken from their peasant families to be trained as monks and bonded for life, often being sexually mistreated in the monastaries.

Chinese crimes in Tibet appear to be greatly exaggerated and while it’s probably true that Tibet’s religious

culture is being undermined by the occupation, the Chinese did introduce some genuine reforms such as abolition of slavery, redistribution of land, removal of the most onerous taxes, introduction of secular schools and improvements in infrastructure such as running water and electrical systems in Lhasa.

The media has not served us well on Tibet and it was a relief to finally get some objective comment from Mike Carlton in Saturday’s Herald.

Mike also mentioned that the torch relay has nothing to do with the Greek Games but was invented by the Nazis for the Berlin Games in 1936; I think this has also been noted by someone writing in this paper.

Vandals at work Why does celebration often bring destruction with it?

Tuesday night at New Brighton (and Ocean Shores?) some unknown people were celebrating.

Bottles and cans of alcohol were discarded beside the road along the Esplanade and some houses and trees were well decorated with toilet rolls, not too terrible.

But then they decided to have a fire on the beach, at the Strand entrance. They did extensive damage to the walkway and the fence and the viewing platform to get wood for their fire. Not too smart because some of that timber was treated with that green preservative (copper chrome arsenate?) and

breathing the smoke would definitely be a health hazard.

Perhaps that explains the Neurofen Plus packet. The fire was still burning next morning.

I don’t begrudge them their celebration, but why do they have to destroy community property in the process? School and teenager celebrations, sports clubs also seem to often slip into destruction; a sort of random release of the highly disciplined energy of their daily lives, perhaps, combined with mob hysteria.

I wonder if there is some way to predict this, or to ‘vaccinate’ teenagers and young adults against it. It would be good to have some other response to this behaviour than angry rants and complaints to the police.

Any ideas?

Alternative views of Woolworths ■ I can only agree with comments expressed in letter by John Sharpe re Woolwoths (Letters, March 15).

Finally someone who is thinking laterally. In addition to his views I’m wondering if the organisers of the boycott are also thinking about all the businesses on the NSW north coast who are employing hundreds of people and are contributing millions of dollars to local communities: Madura Teas, Norco, Byron Bay Chilli Co., Byron Bay Coffee Co and many more. They are smart enough to use their national exposure at more

than 700 Woolies stores to build internationally recognised brand names and generate permanent employment and income for local families. How about giving more young people a future in our shires to work as managers, horticulturists, drivers, storemen and bookkeepers in these local companies?

Money spent at Woolies does actually flow back into the community. And then the issue of parking. Have you tried lately to park your car in Mullum? Pretty hopeless most times with cars parking in double lines. I’m

looking forward to getting additional space in town paid for by Woolies and not us ratepayers. Comments by Deborah Lilly (Letters, March 15) on so-called ‘green-washing’ sound like a cheap excuse and smell to me like ‘green-scaring’.

Mullumbimby ■ In regards to everyone complaining about Woolworths moving into town, I understand that it’s not great for the community, although I would love to know how many of of you complaining actually shop

locally? I highly doubt the majority of you go to either of the supermarkets for your main portion of weekly shopping.

Also, to all those people writing letters from Brunswick and Ocean Shores, it doesn’t have much to do with you at all, seeing as you more than likely shop at Bi-Lo anyway. Answer this, why not let Woolworths build their supermarket, and let it run itself right into the ground, as all I hear every week is none will shop there anyway?

Killer dogs Do you live within a 10 mile radius of Mullumbimby? Do you own a brindle-brown mastiff and a white-withbrown spots jack russell/fox terrier type dog? When they came home from their morning walk on Friday the 11th, did they have blood on them?

Did you wash it off quickly, hoping it wasn’t from anything ‘too serious’?

Well, sorry to give you the bad news, but your dogs are killers. This is the third time in three months that my sheep have been mauled, terrorised, tortured and killed.

They have been literally eaten alive and left to die of blood loss and shock. I know it was your dogs, I saw them running away from the scene of the crime, in fact I almost ran over them in my car as they came madly dashing out onto the road running away from my place.

Granted, I haven’t seen these particular dogs every time, but I saw them the other Friday and the modus operandi has been the same in each of the three attacks.

At the rate they are going the will have killed 50% of my production/income in a year.

I wonder if you would be pleased to have to work all year but only get 50% of your income and have the other 50% torn up and scattered all over your front lawn… and then there are the vet and medical bills for the survivors, the extra work and care, and the pain and suffering of the animals.

Can you even imagine what it is like to be eaten alive? To be held down while your hindquarters are being chewed to the bone?

Yes, what I write may be graphic and ‘disgusting’, but how do you think my sons and I feel when we are faced with this in real life?

How do you think we feel to find some still alive and bleating, their guts torn out and no hind legs, having to shoot them to put them out of their misery?

Oh, and to the owner of the charcoal-brown poodle – it is also a killer, but it prefers chooks. Though it tends to ‘work at night’, it woke me up 4am in the morning with its incessant barking about five, maybe six weeks ago. My son chased it as far as Valances Road to

try to catch it but it got away from him. It was after his prize chooks, and he was not amused.

I wonder if the owners of these dogs will ever ‘fess up’.

It would be nice to know you took responsibility and had your dog put down, or at least keep it on a chain always, or build a dog run with a roof (yes, they can climb). Would you ever be so responsible to offer to pay my vet bills, or reimburse me for the loss of my stock, so far 15 sheep at an average of $80 to $120 a piece. You do the math. Oh, and for the poodle people, my son’s chooks start at $80 each.

Phonebook blues After many phone calls from local residents complaining about the haphazard way that the telephone books were delivered recently, I sent off our written objection to the irresponsible and unprofessional manner used for deliveries this year by the 2483 delivery contractors.

For the past three years the Ocean Shores Community Association has thoughtfully and efficiently delivered your telephone books directly to everyone’s door, out of the weather. In fact we were obligated to do so by contract. This year the chosen contractor has been allowed to drive round in a Mitsubi-

shi van, with one fellow in the back chucking your telephone books on the driveways. Some made it in the gutters, some on the road, some got wet in the rain, some were run over on driveways by the residents.

If you’re not happy with the way your phone book was delivered this year, then please write, or fax or phone your dissatisfaction to Lamissa Australia Pty Ltd, c/- Panton Hill Post Office, Victoria 3759. Or fax to 03 9719 7627, or phone 03 9719 7625 or 0419 009 517 and let them know what you think.

Way out East Congratulations to Deb Cox for bringing us such an entertaining tableau of Byron dystopia in East of Everything. Not an engaging, sympathetic or interesting character in sight. They’re either scrabbling in the dirt for a dollar or scheming and scrabbling for a million dollar piece of dirt. And relentlessly irritating and unpleasant, self-obsessed to the point of needing heavy-duty therapy. When a couple of characters hissed and sniped across their yoga mats, I thought – we’re close to some civilisation end point here. The few characters who should engage sympathy, add positive colouring and so inject some hope into

this grim morality play are just vapid.

It calls to mind Kath and Kim, but stripped of humour.

Craving relief from the bleakness, viewers are left to delight in the bathos that pervades plot and characters alike. So when the terminally agitated and irritating Vance was ready to plunge into the sea and end his own and the viewer’s misery, our little couch chorus of three erupted with ‘Jump Vance Jump Go Go Go Oi Oi Oi’. Then, as if to pop our party balloon, this drip of a ‘carer’ pops out of the bush for no reason with a cheery: ‘Don’t do it Vance; think of all the good things.’

I threw Jaffas at the small screen in the hope of knocking them both into the drink.

Maybe a rainbow submarine crewed by angels could have spirited them both off to an octopus’s surgery for a session of ‘Intuitive Dolphin Healing’ (don’t laugh, it’s out there) or failing that, a round

or two of great white wrestling. Better than 30 seconds of screen time watching a shoe bobbing around in the waves refusing to sink.

It’s all enough to put people off coming here. Of course! Maybe that’s the whole idea. But then, it’s not just Byron dystopia.

Australian Orangutan Project needs your help Jann Gilbert While the rainforests of Borneo might seem far away, to Jodie Sheridan, who has just returned from a two-year volunteer stint, they are home to her other family of both the human and ‘orange’ varieties.

Jodie, a zoologist, has spent the past two years working as an Animal Care Coordinator at the Orangutan Care and Quarantine Centre in Central Kalimantan. The Centre is funded by the Orangutan Foundation International and the Australian Orangutan Project

(AOP), a sister organisation of the Foundation, also contributes to the Centre.

Jodie’s placement was part of the Volunteering for International Development from Australia (VIDA) program, which places skilled Australian volunteers in developing countries in the Asia Pacific region. Volunteers work with local staff to reduce poverty and achieve sustainable development through skill sharing and other practical methods.

but I feel very privileged to have been able to do it,’ says Jodie.

The rainforests in Borneo and Sumatra provide the only surviving habitats for the Orangutan, who is our closest genetic relative and shares a striking 97% of the same genes. With the plight of this primate now critical

our generation may be the last to see Orangutans in the wild, and this is essentially due to the destruction of habitat.

In the race to provide cheaper oil for biodiesel, food product manufacturing, cosmetics and a huge variety of other consumer products, vast tracts of rain and peat forests in Indonesia are being destroyed to make way for palm oil plantations.

This also has the added consequence of increasing the price of food because more acreage is under crop for machinery fuel than for human fuel. (The Terminator, now, doesn’t seem so far fetched.)

Carbon release In addition to the annihilation of the Oragutan’s habitat the destruction of forests (particularly peat) releases enormous amounts of carbon into the atmosphere: carbon that has been stored for millennia in the timber and peat on its way to becoming coal.

It’s this unparalleled devastation that has earned Indonesia the dubious reputation of being the world’s number one greenhouse gas polluter and number one destroyer of rainforests – hardly an achievement to write home about.

‘The last statistic I heard was pretty staggering,’ says Jodie. ‘Indonesia is losing something like six football fields of forest every minute, 24 hours a day. Unless the forests can be protected Orangutans are going to have to work really hard to hold on. It’s an issue of habitat at the moment.’

Part of the problem is the Indonesian government’s attitude to what it deems

‘unused’ land. If land remains uncleared and undeveloped for more than ten years the government can simply acquire it on the basis that it’s not being used. The land is then onsold to large (usually Western) corporate interests, which proceed to carry out environmental degradation on a scale that would never be permitted in their own countries.

Alternatively, the plantations are developed by regional corporate interests so companies like Cadbury and Palmolive can maintain a respectable distance from their precious, profit-rich palm oil. (For a frightening view of the destruction wrought by palm oil plantations see the Greenpeace website and related articles on palm oil.)

‘Many people have no choice but to clear the land,’ says Jodie. ‘If they don’t, it will simply be taken from them.’

Ecotourism Jodie believes ecotourism can play a huge role in providing locals with an alternative to clearing land. By supporting ecotourism in places like Borneo and Sumatra, Westerners can help protect the forests and the Orangutans.

‘Ecotourism is probably the only thing that will really save the forests,’ says Jodie.

‘Until Indonesians realise that there’s an economic benefit in saving the forests it won’t happen.’

On a positive note Jodie did notice in the time she was there that the locals were becoming more aware of the value of ecotourism and in saving their ancient forests.

‘Even though it was only 2,000 to 3,000 Westerners a

year that came to look at the Orangutans in the National Park, everyone in the community was aware of that,’ says Jodie. ‘It was a very strong vibe. It was actively on people’s minds because it did bring such a wealth of tourists.’

For the average Australian, apart from ecotourism or making donations, Jodie suggests writing to your local member or to parliament to request clearer labelling of palm oil on consumer products.

‘In Australia, a lot of the time, palm oil is just called vegetable oil so if you’re trying to avoid using it, it can’t be done at the moment.

Eighty to ninety per cent of the time you can’t choose even if you wanted to. If the government forced manufacturers to identify the use of palm oil as part of the labelling requirements then people would be able to make a choice.’

In response to the problems facing the Orangutan, the AOP is raising funds for habitat protection as well as care of the Orangutans and education of the local community. For as little as 75 cents per hectare AOP can protect the Orangutan’s habitat.

New doco To assist with the fundraising Jodie will be talking about her adventures in Borneo, and the state of play in the fight to save the Orangutans and their habitat. The evening is hosted by the Macadamia Castle and features a three-course dinner (including beer and wine), and a 20-minute sneak preview of a yet-to-be-released documentary, The Last Trimate, narrated by Mel Gibson. All proceeds go to directly to Orangutan conservation.

Owner of the Macadamia Castle, Tony Gilding, is also vice president of the AOP and is proud to be hosting the night.

‘Jodie is such a great ambassador for the cause and we’re looking forward to hearing about her assessment of the situation and seeing the pictures,’ says Tony. ‘Our chef, Simon Shannon, is using as much local produce as possible, many of our staff are volunteering for the evening, and items donated by local business and the community will also be auctioned to raise funds.’

Cost for the evening is $65 per head, which is incredibly reasonable. Numbers are limited so grab some people and book a table to help the Orangutans and their habitat. Enquiries and bookings through the Castle on 6687 8432.

Colourful life of chess great revealed Moral Victories: The Story of Savielly Tartakower by David Lovejoy Reviewed by Ian Rogers The cerebral activity of playing chess has only very rarely been well described, either in film or fiction.

On screen, movies such as the execrable Knight Moves (starring Christopher Lambert) have tended to reinforce Conan Doyle’s words that skill at chess is the sign of a scheming mind.

Updated by 20th century filmmakers, a scheming mind clearly implies a serial killer.

The best depictions of the chess experience have been in films that don’t mention chess at all: Shine which through the prism of a piano student shows the features of a tyrannical parent of a chess prodigy perfectly, and A Beautiful Mind, which shows mathematical problems being addressed in a form which is identical to chess calculation.

On the page, chess fiction pickings have been slim since Nabokov’s The Defence. Walter Tevis’s The Queen’s Gambit was widely promoted but in my opinion fell flat.

Historical chess fiction sounded even more unpromising, so it was

therefore with some trepidation that I began reading Moral Victories. Having already enjoyed Lovejoy’s autobiography Between Dark and Dark I knew that the author could write, but the book’s subject – a peripatetic grandmaster competing in the first half of the 20th century – seemed like a recipe for another failed chess novel.

Admittedly the facts of the life of Savielly Tartakower, upon which the novel is based, were unusual, but what could an author do apart from show Tartakower travelling from tournament to tournament, succeeding or failing?

Unexpectedly, Tartakower turns out to be a fascinating character, a poorly anchored man in an unstable conti-

nent, for whom chess is a means of covering both his gambling debts and other mishaps. Tartakower seems to have a sardonic aphorism for every situation, including ‘Moral victories don’t count’ from which the title of the book is taken.

Lovejoy’s story begins with Tartakower, having changed sides between the two world wars, in England as part of the French government-inexile. Through a series of flashbacks Lovejoy shows how Tartakower’s wanderings have brought him there; at various times a citizen of Russia, Austria and Poland as well as France.

Through chess, Tartakower has an entrée to many of the great and good in European society, from the artist Marcel Duchamp to the Russian revolutionary Leon Trotsky.

Whereas today the great and good might be seen at a restaurant such as Sydney’s Machiavelli, in Europe between the wars, a chess café was the place to be seen – even better if you could hang out with a world class player and wit such as Tartakower.

Some parts of the story, such as Tartakower’s being parachuted into France during the war, seem unbeliev-

able but turn out be based on historical record. In fact so smooth is the merging of fact and fiction in Moral Victories that the ten pages of End Notes which follow the novel prove many of the reader’s assumptions about what is fact and fiction to be wildly off target.

Ultimately Tartakower is neither a hero nor a failure; he lived through turbulent times, lost his family and maintained few close friends, but achieved some great feats over the chessboard and none at all over the roulette wheel.

Yet adapting and surviving gave Tartakower a fulfilling life and Lovejoy keeps you turning the pages. The technicalities of chess and chess tournaments are exceptionally well explained and this alone separates Moral Victories from most other pieces of chess fiction.

The great chess novel may not yet have been written but Moral Victories is a worthy aspirant and thereby a rare bird: a well-written and entertaining novel about a top-level chessplayer.

■ Moral Victories is available from The Echo’s Mullumbimby office for $24.95 (add $5.20 if ordering by mail).

New residents, new courses Peter Shepherd Every year a bunch of new residents quietly join our unique little corner of the world, and this year ACE Byron Shire decided it might be nice to put on a welcome with guest speakers and the traditional Byron Shire bring-your-own-lunch-plate-to-share.

Now, it’s traditional when you have a group of newbies, in anything, to play some sort of trick on them. The people at ACE, though, thought this may have been bad form, seeing as this was the first time such a course was run – deciding, instead, (this time) on the straight but informative approach.

So at the last minute the name was changed from Are you lost? to Seminar for New Residents. Fronting up before our new neighbours was the Mayor, Jan Barham, running through how to work with Council and some of the Shire’s history. She took questions, including a couple of curly ones.

Robyn Gray, from the Brunswick Valley Historical Society told stories, from the first colonial settlement at Brunswick Heads to swamp crossings, the declaration of Mullumbimby’s independence, and at least 112 other true tales – adding an entirely new depth to the experience of living in the Shire.

Robyn admitted she could have kept sharing stories for 24 hours (nonstop). Brunswick Heads Chamber of Commerce’s Kim Rosen raised the flag for the enthusiasm of local business people to help out other businesses and to support the community.

Passion and community was the recurring message about our shire, and Judy MacDonald from Landcare pursued this point vigorously – pointing out how getting involved was a great way to get established and connected in a new area.

Most of the attendees had come from capital cities.

Mayor Jan Barham addressed the first ACE course for new residents.

Richard Vinycomb, Director of ACE, facilitated, and took a moment (or two) to promote the new ACE Byron Shire Course Guide, for Term 2, as another way for people to get connected.

‘Every term hundred of people learn new skills for careers, for fun, and get to meet a lot of like-minded, enthusiastic people.’ He described this mini-speech as a ‘gratuitous free plug’. He also teaches the new ACE course, Acting for Fun. (In the spirit of free plugs, other new ACE courses this term include Learn to Play Harmonica, Podcasting and Indian Spices.)

The seminar (for new residents) will run every six months, so pass that on to anyone you see crossing the border with a big suitcase and that look of desperately needing a massage.

If you missed the new ACE brochure in last week’s Echo, it’s in key energy spots all around the shire, with the base of a very groovy rainforest tree on the cover.

Bangalow has been chosen for the Australasian Qi/ Chi/ Ki Arts Festival that will herald this international event with a fun and all ages celebration. The Festival provides the space to explore through a range of disciplines, ways of including Chi/ Qi (pron. Chee) practices into everyday life. All of these practices have the same underlying principles that are generally experienced when practiced in Tai Chi/ Qigong/ Aikido.

There is an extensive program of classes, workshops and of course talks and performances for you to experience and be entertained.

The fascinating Chi-Ki Kids and Youth Art Prize Exhibition will be on display throughout and prize giving at 2pm.

The Festival starts this Friday evening at 7pm with a forum on Qi/ Chi/ Ki in

everyday life. This inspiring and thought provoking evening led by a panel of speakers with disciplines ranging from Japanese Tea Ceremony, Tai Chi, Aikido (Stephen Myers), Meditation (John Allan) to Weaving for Wellness (Jan Barham) will present their understanding of the topic and then give you, the audience, an opportunity to air your questions and thoughts on this discussion.

The Saturday morning starts at 8am with a Push Hands Refinement workshop with Roman Czerniawsky, a practitioner of martial arts and Tai Chi for 38 years.

It’s followed with the free World Tai Chi and Qigong Day global event at 10am, that takes place in over 60 countries. Visit www.taichiday.org Concurrent sessions happen throughout the day from 11am ending with the evening performance at 7pm.

The inexhaustible hunger of the guns John Campbell It was one of those supreme days in the hills.

Sunny, warm and still.

Birdsong and bugs. Fluffy Renaissance clouds loafing across a cerulean sky. At my feet a butterfly, maybe the last of the season. Its petal wings black and gold, vibrant like the old Balmain Tigers’ footy jersey used to be before corporate sport started plastering advertising logos all over players’ torsos. It was being devoured alive by ants.

Friday is Anzac Day. More big TV. More everybody-in for the national chest beating. More Gallipoli myth making, as if those poor bastards who were slaughtered during the assault on the Ottoman Empire were doing it for Australia and not Britain.

Anzac Day is gold for the media. Bigger than the Melbourne Cup even. And with Australian soldiers involved in the ongoing theatres (such an awful appropriation of that word) of combat in Afghanistan and Iraq, it will be a long time yet before we are allowed to let it pass without all the hoopla.

My father spoke often of his time in Borneo and New Guinea with the AIF. Out of his years of service grew an abiding hatred of the Japs, something about which I am no longer prepared to be so righteously judgmental.

Nobody can know another person’s heart.

As an unskilled worker with not much to look forward to but a life of grinding, poorly paid labour, he had a

3 2 / $/ good war. He found purpose, camaraderie, self esteem, was on the winning side and, more importantly, he came back in one piece.

He marched down George Street every Anzac Day while, at home in front of the black and white Pye with my mother, sister and brother, I dutifully watched the parade on TV. From that moving mass of balding grey men with their tinkling medals and polished shoes, we half expected the ABC’s commentator, Martin Royal, to pick Dad out and whisper reverently ‘ … and there’s Bill Campbell with the Ninth Divvy …’

Neither we nor Martin ever did manage to spot Dad. He was a stocky, nondescript sort of fellow and he didn’t have the rat cunning of Uncle Fred, who always placed himself on the out-

side of the column, jauntily lengthening his stride as he and his mates passed the camera.

When the sparks of Haight-Ashbury ignited on our shores, I and a generation of hippy trippy longhairs rejected the bellicosity of the event, but Dad kept fronting for the dawn service and the reunion bevies until some time in the mid-eighties, when arthritis and age finally took its toll on his willing but weary bones.

In his later years, Dad contented himself with a session with the boys at the local RSL. But he gave up on that too as their numbers dwindled and the inebriated mob took over.

Like most old diggers, his coffin was draped in the flag, with a slouch hat sitting on top of it.

My niece has been to Gal-

lipoli for Anzac Day. What she remembers most is the drinking that began from early the previous evening.

Drunk young blokes wrapped in that same flag, with the Union Jack uppermost. She was vomited on by one such patriot.

April 25 now seems the saddest of days for the belligerent relish with which it is celebrated as something that defines us as a nation.

It leads me to wonder, as did the unnerving American writer Patricia Highsmith, ‘… how else could one really explain in mankind the continued toleration of wars, the perennial enthusiasm for wars when they came, if not for some primal pleasure in killing?’

My father’s proud memory and my uncharted self do not encourage me to follow that line further.

Profit motive should join the dinosaurs Laurie Stubbs Profit as a motive may have outlived its usefulness.

Bad things are often done in pursuit of profit – bad because people and societies are hurt as a result. Many profit-makers today ignore common morality, though it was not always so serious.

The Iraq war was started to lock in the West’s oil supply (as we know now despite the spin and WMD rhetoric five years ago) and the armaments lobby grinned all the way to the bank. Their lobbying has made untold billions for them, but 4000 American soldiers have died, and no one knows how many Iraqi men women and children have died – so far.

In Democratising Globalisation, Heikki Patomaki tells us: ‘Toward the last quarter of the nineteenth century… the Rothschilds and other important bankers were ready and willing to finance small wars for all kinds of purposes… [because] the

We have kangaroos, parrots, farm animals and a barista.

international monetary system itself was dependent on peace between the European Great Powers.’

Bankers and leopards don’t change their spots. They just ‘spin’ the truth to us.

You and I have been brainwashed about profit for decades. It starts with this spin: ‘profit’ conceals a dangerously wide meaning. It points to a range of practices. The bad end of the range is profiteering – the making of excessive, especially illegally or in a black market – and the good end is simply profit, financial gain, excess of returns over outlay. Societies frown on ‘profiteering’ or ‘scalping’ but are OK about profit, despite that term covering many levels of $ take.

Profiteering is clearly immoral. By implication profit, the other end of the scale, is morally OK. But, you have to wonder. When you see a corporate profit that jumps by say 25% or 45% in a year. If year one

was morally OK, then is 45% more still OK? Trouble is there’s no cutoff point between immoral and OK. And powerful groups are interested in keeping it that way. Investors (super funds managers etc and private investors) demand ever increasing profits to fund bigger dividends year by year. Increasing profits push up a corporation’s share price too, and that’s a second profit for investors, the most important one to many minds.

Corporate management is the second really powerful group keen to keep profits high. Appointed by the investors, the manager’s job is to make better profits each year – come hell or high water.

Often today the manager’s pay packet contains shares or options to buy shares, so they focus on growing the share price as well as the profits.

But thousands of small business people are also

profit-makers. Their profit expectations usually aim at making a ‘good living’, which seems morally OK and right.

But surely it makes the corporate picture questionable?

Because the outlook underpinning corporate trading is about profit first, last, and all the in-betweens, whereas the small business is about a good living. That’s a big gap in thinking. Another huge difference is that small business tends to be highly competitive, whereas the corporate picture is more like monopolies which manipulate markets and collude with competitors. Perhaps the ultimate comparison is between say the CEO of Telstra with a take home of several millions and all the tax dodges, and the local computer doctor, or mechanic who takes home less than $100,000, but pays full tax.

It seems there could be many facets of the profit notion giving society a bad result.

Finding treasures in the middens of time Story & photo Mary Gardner â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Taking all my measurements, day by day,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; says my friend. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quite a feat of concentration.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; We look at the blanks on the data sheet. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I really meant to do it but I just forgot. Things happen.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Imagine, I say, to lighten the mood with a funny story.

Imagine trying to get information from another species!

Once I spent a year doing that with one species of shellďŹ sh. The idea was to track sublethal effects as a guide to environmental quality.

Austrovenus stutchburyi is an abundant New Zealand clam, with a shell like an English cockle. They ďŹ lter their sustenance from seawater. The rate varies but each 15mm creature can clear up

to several litres per hour.

They got rhythm. They pump for only several hours on each change of the tide.

They adjust to the progression over the month.

To measure their efforts, I had one chance once a month. I had to collect them from around the harbour before the tide came in. Back in the lab, as the tide was rising, I set them in their small spa pools ďŹ lled with algae. I sampled the waters as they started pumping and then after they ďŹ nished. I then counted all the algae in each sample vial.

Since I was comparing ďŹ ve sites with different levels of pollution from all around the Manukau, I had to drive for hours collecting the spec-

imens. All sites needed testing at the same time. Because of mysterious nighttime breakins at the university, new security rules meant I also had to complete the work before 7pm.

So the night before, I packed the old Corolla with equipment. Everything had to be thought of in advance.

When the sitter cancelled in the dark before dawn, I simply bundled up my girl. She could sleep in the back of the car. I took the picnic basket.

She woke when I was sampling at the steel mill cooling ponds. The hot water steamed in the chill grey winter morn. I made a breakfast on the cookstove. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at the edge of Mount Doom! Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your elf cake,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I said. I had been reading Tolkien aloud to her before sleep. But suddenly, literature became real.

Between the third and fourth sampling site, I dropped her off at school. She had had a hot breakfast. She had clean clothes. She had a dose of enchantment too.

Meanwhile, the shellďŹ sh.

Oh yes, them. This testing was one of a set of four I was doing. The other tests all had procedures to be scrupulously met. Finally hundreds of entries in spreadsheets were collected. Then the work on computers and with statistics really started.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a while since the days of intense sampling and parenting. I wanted to know the hidden mysteries of shellďŹ sh. I wanted my daughter to be involved and impressed with the wonders of the world.

The shellfish from polluted sites acted like asthmatics. Their gut enzymes changed. The book trilogy

a midden. To protect it, the ground is planted with native plants. At a glance in the rubble, I see shells of six or seven different species of shellďŹ sh that are still found on the shore here. All costars in The March of Time.

The layers of a midden tell of long gone feasts and clean ups. The shards of shells are witness to epochs of continuity. The beer tin speaks of very recent change. A sign says the site is dated around a thousand years ago.

That is also the date of a manuscript in Christian Spain showing use of Arabic numerals. Omar Khayam published an accurately calculated length of a year to the 11th decimal place. And about then, William Occam set out a principle that given any two explanations, the simpler is the preferred one.

Seems a thousand years ago, the attitudes of science started to come together.

Numbers. Timing. Concepts to interpret data. For all its whizbang facts, science is really a perspective. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a process that happens in our individual brains and in our collective society. We can hear it in our stories. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Yes, sometimes I miss the academic ďŹ eld and lab work, the buzz of lecture halls. But I still have this attitude. Now the ďŹ eld is exploring Byron.

Testing what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned with what I see now. And the all important communications â&#x20AC;&#x201C; writing up for The Echo.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

became a set of movies. My daughter, even today, likes to read books aloud to anyone who will listen.

My friend and I walk further along the beach. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Oh yes, with all that, I got another degree. But what really happened is my mind was altered. I never could see things quite like I did before. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Now, in my mind, even simple shellďŹ sh, ďŹ ltering and spawning, are part of imaginary feature animations.

They have roles in ďŹ&#x201A;icks like Water Quality and Marine Food Web. You know sometimes they set themselves into the currents and travel for kilometres? Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the original cast of Into the Wild. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Everything is connected.

And if I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see quite how, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s likely only for lack of data.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x2013; Mary Gardner is a writer, We reach a small hillock biologist and tutor. See more on the beach. It proves to be at www.mgardner.info.

Chayne Hultgren brings his 4-piece Monster Sideshow Spectacle featuring the country’s leading sideshow artists: Shep Huntley, Tiger Lil and Zoe Ellis. Zoe and Chayne live together in Byron Bay, in possibly one of the most functional albeit avantgarde relationships you are likely to encounter.

Zoe agreed that a Sideshow artist would be a difficult person to maintain a relationship with if you came from outside the genre.

‘I think they would be waiting for you to give it up,’ she laughed, ‘we take it up so seriously, we stay up all night inventing tricks and playing magic – we never go to bed, we are just playing ideas – Chayne’s got a whole office full of magic and illusion. We made my sword ladder together, I make all his decor and costumes, we make loads of things together, magic is a great place to go as you get older – you just go from sideshow, onto doing levitations! Although Chayne’s magic is different. He does the kind of magic that is believable.’

Originally from Sydney, Zoe Ellis is a circus/burlesque/ sideshow performer who found her feet quite upside down, quite accidentally.

‘I went to England when I was 18 and met up with a bunch of people living in vehicles and squatting theatres and putting on circus shows and ended up travelling with them and learnt on the job.

I lived in England for eight years above a pub and toured with Aerial theatre companies in Europe – I worked with Skinning the Cat, an aerial performance troupe – touring international art festivals, came back to Australia and started my own thing, Electric Dollhouse – so I have been performing circus artistry – trying to put imagery and theatre into straight circus – moving more into sideshow because it’s more reactionary.’

For Zoe, good circus is all about reaction. Just the evening

before, she and Tiger Lil had performed their famous synchronised angle grinding act at the Versace on the Gold Coast.

‘We performed for this bored corporate audience that were non reactive, after our performance they clapped and cheered! Lil and I are rolling around on the floor with angle grinders – it’s very edgy, we could end up with an extra c*** every night! And we could electrocute ourselves as well. People have done it in the past, but we have pushed it to the limits.’

Sideshow is all about pushing the limits.

‘Another act I am doing is a sword ladder, I walk up a ladder of swords barefoot – then I suspend my body across two swords and go up eight or ten metres into the ceiling spinning – I made that one up myself – and that is what Chayne does as well, he is just so inventive with his Sideshow stunts, it’s all about trying to put new twists on old tricks.’

Community Centre is their most successful to date. For fans of Chayne’s authentic old world sideshow skills, this new performance offers a very different window into his talent.

Like the fishhooks through the eyes. You don’t see that every day!

‘I am pulling someone on the stage in a cart with fish hooks. I did it for Ripley’s Believe it Or Not in 2003 when I pulled someone across the Yarra River with fishhooks in my eyelids. I will also be performing my most recent Guinness World Record – the heaviest weightlifting sword swallow.’

I wondered about fear. Just talking to Zoe and Chayne was making me break out in a nervous sweat.

‘You can’t be too scared – if you are then you probably shouldn’t be doing it. I don’t really get scared, but there are nerves involved.’ And what about mistakes? ‘They don’t happen very often. It depends I suppose because they are all calculated risks. If you are not

$2899 Kahlua – Mexican, Hazlenut, French Vanilla

confident then you shouldn’t do it. I visualise what I am doing and how it is going to happen.’

Space Cowboy has been working his very peculiar magic since he was a kid. He started training for sword swallowing at 16.

‘I put hoses down my throat. I had to practise controlling the muscles.

I do internal isolation techniques.

There are sphincters either side of the oesophagus, you need to keep them open because if they close then you cut yourself.’

Also on the bill is ‘The Mutant Barnyard’, a display of the collection of the odd and unusual from over 40 countries – it’s the only travelling freak animal exhibit in Australia.

Join Space Cowboy, Tiger Lil, Zoe Ellis and Shep Huntley at the Byron Community Centre on Thursday and Friday for one of the most spectacular sideshows you are ever likely to see. You will be blown away, these performers are world class genius freaks.

SWEET SARITAH West Australian conscious roots songstress Saritah brings her potent blend of melody, message and groove to the Sphinx Rock Café for the first time this Sunday from 2pm. This hardworking independent artist has toured consistently since the release of her debut album in 2004, performing over 300 shows at some of Australia’s most well known festivals and venues including the Big Day Out, the West Coast Blues n Roots Festival and Woodford Folk Festival. Her second release, the These Days/You’re the One EP was

Last night I was lying in the bath with my nine year old daughter and she piped up from under the bubbles: ‘Mum, can I tell you something?’ ‘Yes sweetheart, you can tell me anything.’ She looked intensely serious, the way people do when they are nervous about saying something they know might upset you. ‘Well today you were dressed a bit like a little girl. It’s weird when your mum dresses like a little girl.’

To me getting dressed has always been a bit like selecting a costume where I have the daily opportunity to find a theme and run with it. Every 24 hours I get to decide who I am going to be. I love waking up and scanning my wardrobe, selecting one piece I feel like wearing, like a velvet shoe, or a decorative bra, or a studded belt and then building an entire look around that. I have a girlfriend who shares the same peculiarity, and when describing the body wrenching depression that hits one at the demise of a relationship, she expressed it in the most eloquent terms I have ever heard: ‘I’ve lost the desire to accessorise’. I know exactly what she means. I have never ever woken up and put on a t-shirt and jeans unless I was intending to affect a ‘no makeup bra free post-feminist’ feel. It gives me a very

inconsistent relationship with fashion and a delightfully loose sense of self. Earlier this week I went for Trailer Park: denim skirt with high heeled uggies and flannel shirt, a few days ago I wore a kaftan and beads in a 70s tribute, and yesterday I went for one of my personal classics: French schoolgirl.

French schoolgirl has long been a favourite and is the perfect mid-season look. Long black socks, a tight cardigan and a black silk scarf all teamed with a flimsy floral frock. Too hot for summer, too scant for winter. I’ve been doing French Schoolgirl since I was 18. Perhaps at 40 it’s time to pack her away. (I can still hear her scream: ‘arrêt....arrêt’). Maybe Disco Diva has to go as well. Then there’s the girl guide biscuit drive outfit, I couldn’t do up the buttons anyway, and do you have any idea how hard it is to get the fellatio badge? I had never perceived an appropriate time to retire some of my clothes, and it’s the first time I’ve really had to confront the need to create some new looks to take me into my twilight years. I’ve never really been drawn to the timeless ‘Spiritual’ look: anything silk or cotton from India, providing it’s boxy and loose, layered, with a pashmina, wooden beads, red string for the wrist and

released in 2005. Nominated ‘Best Blues n Roots Artist’ in the 2006 WAMI (West Australian Music Industry) Awards, Saritah is currently working on her upcoming full length album in Brisbane with Paulie B (The Beautiful Girls, George), due for release in spring 2008.

a wicker basket with a yoga mat, fresh vegetables and a bottle of water scrawled with the affirmation ‘I am love’. This morning I had a go at affecting something that might win my daughter’s approval.

Something more maternal. First attempt was a high necked white frilled blouse with a tight floral skirt and sensible shoes but worn with black lace knickers and suspenders. I will call that Hillsong Hooker.

Wrong. What about Librarian? Tweed skirt. Woollen vest. Mohair stockings.

Looked more like one of the Kransky sisters. Wrong. Instead, I went for a costume worn by women cast as mothers in TV ads, making Tip Top sandwiches or administering Combantrim to children with itchy bums. It’s the look that I find the most fetishistic and frightening of all. I’ve always perceived the beige trousers, the neatly ironed cotton shirts and pearls to be the uniform of repression, a starched perfect mask to hide the quiet devastation of a disappointing life. My daughter loved it. ‘You look pretty Mum,’ she cooed as I modelled the pale pink uniform of discontent. I call it: ‘Manic Depressive Mother’. I have found my new look.

MORPH AT BEACH HOTEL ON SUNDAY

SARITAH AND WILD MARMALADE Two of Byron Bay’s internationally known music acts combine to present a night of passionate and inspired music at the Drill Hall Theatre, Mullumbimby this Friday. Saritah has toured extensively overseas including the UK, Canada, France, Spain, Holland, Belgium, Germany and Aotearoa/New Zealand. In October she returned to her birthplace South Korea, performing her vibrant, rootsy, earth grooves at major festivals and live to air on MBC TV. Saritah will be performing her songs both new and old, stripped back to the simple yet powerful format of guitar and voice.

Saritah’s songs feature lyrics that are both global and personal, political and spiritual. Her unique style of music is influenced by soul, folk, roots and world beats, with a sincere energy and passion that captivates audiences. Wild Marmalade is a high energy Organic Trance, Drum and Didj band. Blending the ancient sounds of the didjeridoo with contemborary dance beats, the Wild Marmalade sound is Didge Si’s rhythmic didjeridoo combined with the explosive grooves of Matt Goodwin on kit and log drum. Playing their instruments with ferocious intensity, they create inspired organic dance music, totally live – every sound you hear is made by the musicians.

They create a musical force usually only heard from

computers and synthesizers, with the excitement of inspired musicians being moved by the energy of an audience. Wild Marmalade are proven players in the world dance music scene.

They have worked with Cirque du Soleil in Las Vegas and Montreal, toured Japan, Europe, and the USA. The night will feature V.J.Piratex blending live footage of Wild Marmalade with animations, created specifically for the band, by Japanese artist Spike Bloom. The night is a non-alchohol, kid friendly event, with Chai and munchies available. Doors open from 8pm, with DJ Booth playing world groove and tribal trance before and between the bands.

CHANGE WHAT YOU ARE THROUGH WHAT YOU HEAR The funky electro/groove Melbourne based Morph head back to Byron Bay to play the Beach Hotel this Saturday. If you haven’t

been to a Morph show before, expect to hear the musicians weaving in and out of composed themes, combining instrumental parts with the lush atmospheres of original sampled sounds and beats. Morph play with a DJ’s dance floor sensibility, the aim always to draw in an audience with a progressive layering of sound, until ultimately reaching high energy grooves that dispel inhibitions and get people of all ages up and dancing. The music is inspired by a variety of styles including breaks, ambient electronica, funk, world fusion and jazz.The band has recently re-invented their entire approach to playing live, with a whole bunch of new material and brand new loops and samples to crank through the sound system at the Beachie.

This is your chance to dose up live on some of the finest riffs ever put to tape.

LEARNING TO EVOLVE Singer, songwriter and long time local, Elen receives inspiration for her songs from the spirit that moves through all of us – her love of the land and nature can be heard in the medicine of her music and she is passionately dedicated to the raising of frequence ... hers and anybody else’s... through the means of song and dance.

MOODIE MAN Slowly but surely John Moodie is gaining a strong reputation as one of the most capable guitarists gettin’ around. Not many can boast an incredible knowledge and understanding of the greatest guitarist Jimi Hendrix, but this guy can make it look so easy. Backed by a wonderful rhythm section you’ll get to listen to a set close to that of Jimi at the memorable Monterey with songs such as Killing Floor, Hey Baby, Red House, before you can bust out some moves on the dance floor with some more great tunes from the 60’s and 70’s.

BANGALOW FOLK NIGHT Irish singer-songwriter and story teller, Mick McHugh, may be a relative newcomer to the shire but he is quickly making a name for himself on the folk music scene.

He is the appointed host of Bang Thai’s new monthly Bangalow Folk Night, the latest addition to Bang Thai’s ‘coming up next’ series of events starting Friday, where he will perform and present a featured guest every month. Mick is a very busy boy with a hectic schedule of regular live performances, a debut EP, in which he collaborates with musicians from Pete Murray’s latest CD about to be released and a follow up solo EP already in the pipeline. He has also written the theme for the forthcoming documentary, Irish Walk for Peace, from Perth to Byron Bay, in which he also took part.

Mick delivers his songs with a passion, reminiscent of the Irish Balladeers of old, but with the distinct contemporary feel of a young man who truly wears his heart on his sleeve. Mick’s

BROADEN YOUR SUNDAY AFTERNOON Broadfoot are kicking off at the Hotel Brunswick at 3pm. It’s rumoured that their elusive bass player/PA man will be there, not to mention the bone shaking Matt ‘I can see’ Cleary on guitar who, like a snowball down a hill, once started, takes a lot of stopping. Pianist ‘Q’ will have to be dragged off the golf course to the gig, and if you look closely there is a chance he’ll be wearing his golf shoes on stage. As for The Broadfoot within Broadfoot, he’ll be there trying to link the sky to the Earth by playing drums and harmonica simultaneously, at times a humourous sight as he

chases his harp in its brace as it opens up. If the impending anticipation is all too much and one needs to catch Broadfoot before Sunday, then they can be appreciated in their abbreviated format of restaurant ‘power’ trio at Bo’s Bar and Restaurant, Byron Bay, every Thursday night at 7pm.

BUSY BIRDY Lennox based surfer/singer/ songwriter, Birdy will play a string of local gigs this week with a variety of musical lineups.

WHY NOT OPEN MIC IS BACK For the third year running, Why Not Restaurant and Bar in Jonson Street, Byron Bay, open their doors to foster standup comedy in the Byron Shire. Why Not Stand Up is the open mic club where

‘talent finds its feet’. This is the only open mic club in the area, and this monthly performance offers new and emerging comics the chance to gain valuable stage time, for existing comics to try new ideas and for professionals to work alongside and mentor new talent. Open Mic clubs are the heart and soul of creating a thriving comedy industry, the only way you get to be any good on stage is by getting up time and time again. It took me over ten years to find my voice on stage. I was pretty awful at the start, but had a healthy self-delusion that kept me going. Fortunately, most of the comics who perform at the Why Not Open Mic are very much talents in their own right! The amazing thing about an open mic club is that you can get to see comics as they start out. Imagine if you had been there when someone like Seinfield first started his career! You could say that you saw him when his tuna sandwich joke died. Those early audiences are what go on to help create memorable comedians! MC for the evening is Steve Allison.

Steve has that rare gift of walking into a room and making everyone his mate.

He comes from a performing family and at the age of six was forced to spend hours juggling to impress his circusschooled dad. He’d shout ‘until you do 5 balls I’m not lettin’ you go to school!’ It’s in his blood. Steve is most at home on a stage with a bunch of people waiting to be entertained. And entertained they will be. Steve always ‘gets’ an audience. His laid back charm belies his real talent, and his routine is rapid fire, constant laugh delivery.

At Woodford Festival this year, Steve was without a doubt the strongest comic to hit the stage – he is a powerful performer who knows how to command an audience. Everybody knows a bloke like Stevo, fair dinkum and full-on funny. He’s a reminder of what we love about being Aussie. He’s a good natured larrikin always up for a lark.

STORY TELLING IT WITH TEA TOWELS Years ago I led a bunch of women in something I called a tea towel dance. I told them it was traditional, but it wasn’t. I made them put their tea towels in the middle and then dance around the room elegantly flicking and spinning. It was beautiful. A symbol of western woman’s most mundane task transformed from oppression, to sensual liberation. You just can’t do the same thing with a dishwasher. Awardwinning storyteller Jenni Cargill-Strong is inviting locals to sign up for one of her upcoming storytelling workshops. In early May, Jenni will be hosting guest tutor Ffrances Ingram who will lead a two day workshop entitled ‘Fabricating our Mothers’ and perform in a concert. Later in May,

Jenni will be teaching a new evening workshop entitled, ‘Telling Your Stories, Healing Your Hurts’. Ffranses’s work is concerned with notions of the domestic and our first encounter with domesticity in the world is usually with our mothers. In this two-day workshop, participants will be guided to explore their relationship with their mother by creating storyboards.

Both oral and visual language will be used to bring these stories into being. Images of mothers will also be explored briefly through fairytales.

Using the tea towel, perhaps the most undervalued and most used domestic item, yet used as presents and an endless medium for advertising, art, holidays, participants will create an art piece of story to hang in their home. No art experience is necessary and materials will be provided. Participants are asked to bring along photos, buttons, favourite pieces of material, momentoes or anything that inspires. Stories help families stay connected and keep memories of absent loved ones alive.

Stories build a stronger sense

of identity, which can make us more resilient. In ‘Telling Our Stories, Healing Our Hurts’ Jenni will playfully lead participants through fun exercises to mine their own family stories and then retell them. The course will be held on three Tuesday evenings from 27 May to 10 June, 6– 8.30pm at the Heartspace above Santos in Mullumbimby. For more information on either course or for concert details, call The Story Tree Company on 6684 6548, visit www. thestorytreecompany. com.au or email jenni@ thestorytreecompany.com. au.

FILM MAKING IDEAS HAPPEN

ALEX WARD ELSEWHERE SUNDAY

How do you turn a great idea into a real happening viable project? Screenworks are conducting their Development Clinics for emerging or professional producers, writers or directors who seek a professional consultation to develop their concept for funding and entry into film and television markets. This Thursday Anne Chesher, a highly experienced producer will be conducting one hour one to one appointments where you can get advice for your project. The appointments are scheduled to take place at Screenworks Office in Bangalow. To be considered for an appointment please email: events@ screenworks.com.au or call Screenworks on 6687 1599.

ORANGUTAN AND FOREST CONSERVATION FILM There is a film launch and fundraiser for Orangutan protection and forest conservation in Sumatra and Kalimantan Borneo at the Macadamia Castle on the highway south of Bangalow.

Dinner, BBQ and drinks start at 6pm to 9pm on Tuesday April 29. Tickets $65 each and go directly to fund forest patrols in forests. Phone Tony on 6687 8432 for more information. Mal Gibson has done the voiceover on this new film, and Jodie Sheridon, who has just returned from working on these projects in Indonesia will both be giving a talk and update.

A junior navy officer on sea duty for the first time overheard a recruit say he was going downstairs.

‘Listen, sailor,’ he snarled, ‘Downstairs is below, that side is starboard, that’s aft and that’s portside. If I ever hear you say one more civilian word like ‘downstairs’ again I’ll throw you through that little round window over there!’ Such a faux pas would of course never happen to Gopher Gold, as captain of the Love Boat this Saturday he understands all naughtycal terms!

The greatly anticipated red hot routines by King Corky and the Solid Gold Dancers along with this fresh-offthe-press interview with Gopher Gold make this event irresistible.

Q: Who is Gopher Gold?

A: ‘I am just a man, flesh and bone, ex Def Leopard roadie, Kabana boy from Beverly Hills and burger flipper at the Big Prawn. Now I’m living the dream, setting dance floors on fire around the world and bringing the hits to those in need.’

A: ’Rock (Solid) noticed me rigging stage for the KISS-Unmasked tour. He liked my handy work and pitched the idea to me. We clasped hands that day and made a promise to uphold the majesty of chart busting

hits, that they shall never be forgotten. For our master plan to succeed, we knew we must win the approval of the cast from the original Solid Gold TV show. We hooked up with the Solid Gold Dancers. They tested our mettle with a grueling dance off at Caesars Palace carpark in Vegas. It was a night of Lycra and sweat.

Our bodies ached but girls were gentle with us later in the Jacuzzi. The next day we brunched with Dionne Warwick (the original host) and she gave us her blessing. She proclaimed, ‘Go forth, spread your faith, there will be dancing, there shall be shout-alongs, let wigs abound throughout your reign!’ or words to that effect. The dream became the reality and today our crusade continues. Last year we rocked Splendour in the Grass then carried on to Sydney and Adelaide.

Bali is in our sights but the constant limos and private jets do become tiring. The Hotel Great Northern and the Byron Shire will always be our home.’

Q: Why do you think Solid Gold is such a success?

A: ‘Where do I start? Corky the King, the Dancers, Rock and I spinnin’ the steel wheels with feeeeling, the dance offs, the great tunes.

Yes the show is world class but we are nowhere without our fans. They make the place look so good with their amazing costumes and sensational moves. The venue is not big enough.

They promise renovations. I hope it happens soon, I hate seeing people turned away.

All dressed up and no place to go!?’

Q: Can you give us a little preview of what we can expect this Saturday?

A: ‘The great thing about The Love Boat was that everyone who was anyone took the cruise eventually – billionaires, heiresses, washed up Hollywood

starlets, magicians – so you can expect at least a lifeboat full of coconut bikinis, Hawaiian leis, mermaids, captains and first mates. No doubt some pirates will try and disrupt things but the Pina Coladas will still flow and the Limbo won’t stop.

WITH LILITH THE DALAI LAMA’S ADVICE TO OLYMPIC DEMONSTRATORS APPLIES PRETTY WELL ACROSS THE BOARD THIS WEEK: ANGER, CONFRONTATION AND CONDEMNATION CANNOT BRING HARMONY. HOSTILE ATTITUDES ONLY HEAT UP A SITUATION, WHEREAS A SENSE OF RESPECT GRADUALLY COOLS DOWN WHAT WOULD OTHERWISE BECOME EXPLOSIVE… ARIES: This week could test the strong new resolutions you’ve made recently as adverse Mars/Venus/Jupiter aspects activate classic power clashes – during which charm will work better than arguing.

for you to succeed as brilliantly as you’d like to this week. Is it you? Right now it’s not likely to be anyone else.

VIRGO: An earthy, Virgo friendly week with the odd trying circumstance on Thursday the only thing likely to throw you. Paperwork’s important right now – though when isn’t it? – and though others are stubborn, they’re also more reliable and dependable than they have been.

LIBRA: Tauran energy provides pleasantly grounding ballast to this week’s Libran balancing act as you assess what’s valuable in your life, environment and relationships.

Tread carefully around Thursday when your ruler Venus isn’t at her best – nor is the general public.

SCORPIO: With the weekend’s Scorpio full Moon wow factor still operating, your impact’s considerable this week and others are interested in what you’re offering. Slow to commit though, which suggests working smarter rather than harder till the cosmic tide turns.

SAGITTARIUS: Insisting on rushing or hurrying people

this week will only make them resistant. Waiting for them to make up their minds might be like watching paint dry, especially during late week Sagittarius Moon, but that’s your cue to see how gracefully you can play the waiting game.

CAPRICORN: Present energy brings a powerful forward thrust for Capricorns, offering opportunities for financial growth and throwing down a challenge to deepen personal commitments as this week keeps reminding you that the six degrees of separation between each of us is an inescapable reality.

AQUARIUS: If financial information or personal concerns you weren’t aware of surface this week, take whatever time you need to adjust to this new perspective.

Don’t let emotional pressure prompt you into making abrupt decisions, especially around Thursday.

PISCES: This week’s stars suggest being selective about who you hang out with and sticking to a compatible mix of companions. Being part of a supportive team will go a long way to help dealing with late week relationship pressures and tensions.

(02) 6685 8005 or email: laser@paradisobeauty.com Paranoia about cheating in chess has become endemic, even if actual cheating in chess is relatively rare.

Yet this week two cases showed that vigilance is certainly necessary.

The crudest case came in the Intomart Open in Hilversum, The Netherlands, where an amateur player, Loek Koelman, was observed disappearing to the toilets after almost every move. Koelman’s results in the tournament were well above his ranking, yet in post-mortem analysis with his opponents after the games he seemed unable to explain many of his own moves.

When challenged by the arbiters, Koelman said that he had a renal problem, though he could not explain why he always preferred a cubicle to a urinal. One arbiter noticed a pda-sized lump in Koelman’s back pocket and asked to look at it but Koelman said that being searched would be ‘against his principles’ and he

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

decided to withdraw from the tournament, claiming that he would also leave the Dutch Chess Federation.

The second case, at the powerful Dubai Open, directly influenced the result of the tournament. Mohamed Sadatnajafi was a little-known Iranian player making up the numbers in Dubai until the fifth round, when the following remarkable game was played.

Dubai Open White: M Sadatnajafi Black: N Ibraev Opening: Sicilian Defence 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 e6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 a6 5.Nc3 d6 6.Bc4 Nf6 7.Bb3 b5 8.0-0 Bb7 9.Re1 Nbd7 10.a4! b4 11.Nd5! Nc5 12.Bg5! exd5 13.exd5+ Kd7 14.Nc6 Bxc6 15.dxc6+ Kxc6 16.Bd5+ Kb6 17.Bxa8 Qxa8 18.Qd4!

Nd5 19.Rad1 Nc7 20.Qxb4+ Ka7 21.Be3 N7e6 22.Qc4 Qc6 23.b4 Qxa4 24.Qd5! 1-0

Crushing a Kazakh grandmaster so easily was surpris-

ing enough but Sadatanajafi achieved this feat after turning up for the game 50 minutes late and thinking for little more than a minute or three on any of his moves!

To their credit, the arbiters in Dubai noted that Sadatnajafi was acting unusually while his opponent was thinking and determined to keep an eye on him in future rounds.

The following day Sadatnajafi was playing the Chinese GM Li Chao. After making his tenth move Sadatnajafi wandered away from the board, unaware that he was being following by an arbiter. Sadatnajafi unobtrusively pulled a mobile phone from his pocket and glanced at it, whereupon the arbiter pounced.

Sadatnajafi dropped the phone which was confiscated by the arbiter. When examined, the phone contained a series

of received text messages in Farsi, containing moves from both the current game and the Ibraev game.

Apparently, with Sadatnajafi’s games being broadcast live on the internet, a friend in Iran had been able to feed Sadatnajafi’s game into a computer and provide suggestions

by SMS in real time.

Sadatnajafi was forfeited and thrown out of the tournament but the free point proved invaluable to Li Chao, who went on to tie for first in the tournament.

With toughened mobile phone laws recently introduced by the world body FIDE, Sadatnajafi faces the possibility of a life ban from world ranked tournaments.

Had Sadatnajafi been a little more discreet he might never have been suspected and caught, so it is hard to escape the conclusion that a time delay on game transmission to the internet is an idea whose time has come.

Reread the above intro and treat others the way you’d like to be treated.

TAURUS: Happy birthday Taurus! Though with Mercury joining the Sun in your sign, the cosmic climate’s at its most stubborn just when an attitude adjustment on your part could bring you some influential assistance – especially when Thursday’s relationship planets are having a spat.

GEMINI: Your boss planet Mercury leaving the sign of ideas and arguments for the zone of show me the money brings recent discussions down to crunch time. When, how long and how much are questions that need answering at this week’s negotiating table.

CANCER: Relationships have taken a bit of a hammering lately and this week requires tolerance on your part. Not the lip service kind but genuine forbearance for people’s paths that may be radically different from yours – and that’s for your sake more than theirs.

LEO: Sun, Mercury, Jupiter and Neptune all in fixed signs.

You’re a fixed sign. Getting the picture? Something resistant or unwilling needs to change

www.echo.net.au

CINEMA THE BLACK BALLOON For only a short time at the beginning of this endearing Australian feature is there any concern about what path it might follow. Writer/ director Elissa Down, whose memoir it is, makes such an effort to establish the suburban ordinariness of the Mollison family that you get that all too familiar whiff of approaching ennui, thinking ‘oh no, not another worthy/ earnest/sensitive coming of age film.’ But the crisis soon passes, in no small way due to the terrific young actors who breathe such life into it. Sixteen year-old Charlie (Luke Ford), is autisitic with ADD. Looking after him is a real handful for his pregnant mother (Toni Collette) and soldier father (Erik Thomson).

Younger brother Thomas (Rhys Wakefield) is mates with Charlie but leaves the hard work of coping to Mum and a lesser extent

Dad. There is no sugar coating of the difficulties that come with having a disabled adolescent in the house, but Down manages to fill her acutely observed screenplay with equal parts humour and anguish. Ford is good in a demanding role, but the story is less about Charlie than how his presence impacts on the shy romance that blossoms between Thomas and school friend Jackie (Gemma Ward).

Human nature being what it is, Thomas is mortified by Charlie’s behaviour in front of her and his indignity is multiplied when one day he is forced to catch the spastics’ bus with him.

But Jackie is not a mocker and the bond between the pair grows stronger – their first stolen kiss, when they are at the pool doing bronze medallion training, is a beautiful moment for all ages to savour. In real life a supermodel, Ward shines

in her screen debut, being neither knowing nor ickily coy as the girl who takes both brothers into her heart.

Collette is as reliable as ever as the tireless mother and Thomson likeable as the steadfast father, but it is in their absence, when she enters hospital to have her baby and the focus is entirely upon Thomas, Jackie and Charlie, that the movie’s alchemy is realised. There are no earth shattering events, no devastating plot twists – in fact, not a lot happens at all, but it goes from strength to strength, leaving you sad to be saying goodbye to the kids at its close. Moving in a quiet, unnoticed way, it reminds us of the eternal verity: all you need is love. ~ John Campbell

FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL This is like the curate’s egg. It’s good in parts with some genuine belly laughs sprinkled throughout, but there are at least fifteen minutes of flab that might have wound up on the editor’s floor without complaint. The story is all over the place in its unfolding, too, and is peopled by characters who are hard to care about but easily identifiable with those young metrosexual types seen in so many US sitcoms of late. Peter writes the music for a hit TV crime series. His live-in relationship with the show’s star, Sarah, comes to an abrupt end when she dumps him for another man. This scene is remarkable for the fact that screenwriter Jason Segel, who plays Peter, does it stark naked with the dangly bits unconcealed.

A failed attempt to sabotage the power plant leaves Jerry energized and magnetized to such a degree that his mere presence wipes all of Be Kind Rewind’s inventory.

JODIE FOSTER, ABIGAIL AIL BRESLIN, GERARD BUTLER THURS-SUN WHERE ADVENTURE DVENTURE RULES 9.45AM, 11.45AM MON-WED 10.15AM, ‘A perfect holiday film for kids.’

1.20PM Lisa Hensley, The Movie Show

BE KIND REWIND Be Kind Rewind is written and directed by Michel Gondry (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind & The Science of Sleep). Much like his other films, this film takes place in a universe full of childlike charm and handmade wonders. The story revolves around a New Jersey thrift store and video rental emporium called Be Kind Rewind. While the owner Mr. Fletcher (Danny Glover) is away, his shop assistant Mike lets Jerry

customers are curious about the store’s new selections – which, it’s explained, come from Sweden, which is why they cost $20 and you have to request them 24 hours in advance. Much like Jerry and Mike’s re-shot versions of Driving Miss Daisy or Rush Hour or The Lion King, Be Kind Rewind is a film where the plot is less important than panache, where the lack of elegance is made up for by an excess of enthusiasm.

Be Kind Rewind is about feel more than focus – and who cares about a storyline when you have Jerry and Mike’s re-imagined films, with their inventive camera tricks and dime-store magic, to fill the screen? ~ Lounge Cinema

MOVIELINE: WEBSITES:

THURS 24TH TO WED 30TH APRIL

bloke is a serial flasher, for he manages to contrive another nude scene for himself near the end, again with his Hampton Wick prominent ... it keeps you on your toes, that’s all I can say. Peter turns out to be a pathetic wuss who cannot get over being given the flick, so he takes a holiday in Hawaii and, wouldn’t you know it, that is exactly where Sarah has gone with her new beau. Not only that but, yes, they lob at the same luxury hotel. Peter is struck by Cupid’s arrow when he meets Rachel, the pretty receptionist, and some decently worked out farcical moments ensue. What is tedious is the tendency (and it is a recurring one in today’s romantic comedies) to fall back on crassness as the default setting which establishes the tone of proceedings. Lewdness has playfully and juicily taken its place in storytelling forever – Chaucer and Shakespeare were demons for it – but Segel ain’t no Chaucer or Shakespeare.

All too often, what he concocts to plug narrative gaps is what was once dismissed as smut. Though demeaning, contemporary taste deems it that gags about cocksucking are the height of wit, their presence in any script ensuring that it will be designated as smart.

Segel, from the box’s ‘How I Met Your Mother,’ is a fine comedian however, and he’s done an excellent job here of putting himself centre stage, surrounded by a support cast whose main purpose is to complement his schtick – except for Russell Brand. As the vain, reprobate English rock star, Aldous Snow, he is an absolute scream and steals the show. Fun, but uneven and entirely forgettable. ~ John Campbell

CATERERS

This weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s special

Victoria Cosford I was a plump child convinced I was fat; looking back at photos I see that I was merely plump. What I also see now are, however, children who are seriously fat, fat in a way I recall maybe only one or two kids at my school ever were, and I see them everywhere.

Childhood obesity is at an all time high.

Over the previous decade, the prevalence of overweight children has almost doubled, and the prevalence of obese children more than tripled. It is now the most common health problem for small children, and the consequences are both substantial and alarming. Medical conditions and problems such as high blood pressure, diabetes, musculoskeletal discomfort, asthma, heat intolerance are some, alongside psychosocial ones, bullying and teasing which result in low selfesteem and even suicidal thoughts. In the United States, for example, obesity carries more stigma in children than any physical disability â&#x20AC;&#x201C; evident across all socioeconomic and ethnic groups.

Shamefully, as far as this international epidemic is concerned, it is Australia which bears one of the highest rates of childhood obesity among developed nations.

The reasons are by now well-known and unsurprising. As a child growing up in Canberra before the advent of computer games I was always outside, running around the block, doing handstands on the front lawn, playing sports, and most of the other children I knew did too. Children now sit in front of Playstations or television sets where meals are often served as well; busy modern lives and working mothers mean convenience, takeaway or microwaved food options; advertising entices young minds to desire sugary highly processed snacks. The list goes on.

One local woman is so passionate about this problem and so bothered by it she has set up a little catering company which supplies nutritional food for childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parties deceptive and delicious enough not to be perceived as such. Joselle Taiapa, a slip of a thing whose exotic looks owe to her MaoriSpanish parentage, decided that her sweetly named Cupcakes For Cuties

business was one small way in which she might be able to make a difference and educate other parents in the wisdom of providing good food, healthy food to their children. When her son was born with a pulmonary haemorrhage, predisposing him to diseases of the lung, she decided to seek the advice of a naturopath; from that point onward it became a mission to ensure his diet was devoid of additives and imbued with as much goodness as she could. At his preschool, the teachers were so impressed by the contents of his lunch boxes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; sushi, rice paper rolls, stir-fries â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that they started putting in orders for them themselves. Joselle believes that it is the responsibility of every parent to provide their children with wholesome food â&#x20AC;&#x201C; food, moreover, made with love. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;If a parent canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get up half an hour earlier to make a proper lunch box,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; she tells me, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just sad.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; She describes the sorts of lunches she witnesses constantly amongst her childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cohorts, appalled at the king-size packets of potato crisps, the soft drinks and the pastries and the sweets their parents have given them â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and I am as appalled. Having no children of my own I have no experience of what children eat for lunches, recalling, however, the ones my own mother would prepare.

To my acute embarrassment she would carefully glad-wrap brown bread sandwiches containing sensible savoury ďŹ llings which I would bite into with a sense of shame, envying the fat white bread sandwiches oozing jam, the sticky buns and the biscuits my friends were hoeing in to. Envying even more the rich kids whose every lunch was bought from the tuckshop: meat pies, sausage rolls, cream buns â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the apotheosis, I believed then, of glamour and privilege. When the privileged one was in fact I. Joselleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s party food uses organic ďŹ&#x201A;ours, specialises in gluten and dairy intolerances, contains no preservatives and additives â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and is much in demand.

She supplies menus to parents who select what they want; Joselle will then deliver, set up, leave them to it then return later to pack and clean up. For more information she can be contacted on 0431 077 486.

Sports Roundup with Eve Jeffery

results@echo.net.au

Water, water everywhere …

The weekend washout

David Lovejoy The wet weather has turned our sports editor’s mind towards indoor sports, but this is a family newspaper so I’d like to talk about chess instead.

There’s usually a small group of chess players to be found at the Poinciana Café in Mullumbimby on Saturday afternoons, and I believe there’s another which meets in the Byron Bay Services Club on Monday evenings. Also, about three people are believed to have read The Echo’s chess column on one occasion.

However, in general people no longer care to play chess face-to-face over the board: they prefer to sit alone hunched over their computers playing online with other friendless nerds.

It is estimated that at any given time internet lines are clogged with millions of games of chess fighting for space among a billion pornographic pictures.

As a result of this loner image, chess is not seen as a marketable sport and attracts no corporate sponsorship.

The pitiful dress sense displayed by most chess players may also be a factor.

To counter the lack of business interest in chess, entrepreneurs in Germany and Russia have developed

ham who landed 12 fish for 244 points and Col Fraser who bagged 11 fish for 76.5 points, a team total of 885.8 points.

Second in the round was the Byron Bay 2 team with 344.7 points with Lismore coming in third with 301.1 points and Lennox in fourth with 258.3 points.

The heaviest fish of the day was a jewfish landed by Michael Johnson from Lennox, weighing in at a whopping 13.17 kilos and the lightest winning fish of the day (I know what I mean), was a 460 gram luderick caught by Byron’s Mark Pierce.

Other fish caught in the comp were bream, dart, flathead, tarwhine, spotted hind and tailor.

The remaining two rounds of the comp will be held later in the year …

There are some humnas who like the wet too, so this announcememnt will come as good news.

The Byron Bay Beach Hotel Ocean Swim Classic will be held on Sunday May 4. The event attracts 2,500 spectators and over 1300 swimmers to the Bay. This year it is special as it is the 20th anniversary and for the first time we have introduced the Mini Classic,

an 800m mini swim for those who don’t feel they are up to the 2.2km main event.

Swimmers can choose to do either event but not both.

It has been a great 20 years for the event which started with less than 100 swimmers and has now grown, the organisers expect over 1,300 swimmers this year.

The main swim is open to all strong swimmers aged 12 years and over on the day.

The Mini Classic is designed for children 9 years and over, who are good swimmers, such as surf club nippers and swim club members.

Other events are the Open Elite Superfish Men and Women categories for cash prizes, or age categories of 12-15, 16-19, and then 5 year age groups from 20 to 74, including a 75 and over group. Medals will be awarded for the first 3 places in each age group.

The Classic first wave will start at 9:45am from Wategoes Beach.

Competitors should register at Byron Bay SLSC by 8.30am for the main event before travelling to Watego’s on the swim shuttle buses, and 7.45am for the mini swim.

For more information or to register for the swim, visit www.byronswimclassic.com.

a new hybrid sport, which combines chess with boxing.

Competitors alternate rounds of fisticuffs with games of lightning chess, and the last man standing is the winner.

Chess boxing is unlikely to take off here but a Japanese variant might prove more popular. The sedentary lifestyle and unhealthy

dietary habits of chess players tend to promote a physique that would favour the combination of chess and sumo wrestling.

Lacking such an exciting spectacle, however, it is likely that chess will remain a minority interest in the Shire, and only be mentioned in these pages when the rain washes out every other sport.

Apart from the local chess scene, many of the weekend’s events were ‘cancelled due to inclement weather.’

Some of the washouts were the Bruns Boardriders monthly comp, several lawn bowls competitions, golf and the local derby for the rugby union comp between Byron and Bangalow.

A quick ask around and I found that many had simply stayed in bed or watched telly with a stubbie and some corn chips.

Get off yer butts humans!

Locally there is a plethora of dry games including squash, indoor volleyball, darts, pool, backgammon, ping pong and those little soccer blokes on the table thingy …

There are some creatures who like the wet and fishermen and women in the region got out their rods and reels and sinkers and other fishy stuff to catch them in the first round of the Far North Coast Fishing Clubs Association competition.

Hoss McGrath, not surprisingly, caught the most fish for the winning team which was the Byron 1 team, with 19 fish for a total of 340.4 points.

His team mates were Jamie Larwil who got 14 fish for 244.9 points, Rob Gra-

Byron Bay Men Pennants cancelled. Next week as draw: 2’s away at Condong and 6’s home to Condong. (Rain affected matches played if they are needed.) Wed social bowls (played between showers): K Gillespie, M Barry; r/up L Daley, A Everingham, T Fenton. Names of teams to finish club pairs c’ship are on the notice board.

Please try and get games finished.

Sports Roundup with Eve Jeffery Local sport needs helping hand The Shores United Soccer Club is holding an Anzac Day weekend golf and bowls fundraising event, and is inviting golfeers and bowlers of all ages to join in the fun as a family day to finish off the school holidays.

The two events, bowls on Friday April 25 and golf on Sunday April 27, will be held at the Ocean Shores Country Club.

All proceeds go to benefit the club which, with the help of the committee of dedicated parents and friends, hopes to make a start on raising the $80,000 needed to erect lights for night games and training at the New Brighton Oval.

The golf day will feature a 4 person Ambrose event with a shotgun start at 12.30pm. There will be great prizes and raffles during the afternoon with a barbeque at the conclusion of the game.

For more information regarding either the golf or the bowls, phone the Ocean Junior Soccer players Jessie Leeming (center) keeps brother Nic Shores Country Club on and friend Audrey Chamberlain at bay while practices his footwork. Photo Tree Faerie.

6680 1008.

League’s title rematch a no-contest John Campbell Weather marred the keenly awaited clash between last year’s Retravision NRRRL grand finalists, the Mullumbimby Giants and Ballina. In the ‘07 decider, the Giants got home at the death in an epic encounter, but on Sunday, at Kingsford Smith Park, they ran out easy winners by 28-0.

It was a performance more workmanlike than inspired and built on impregnable defence.

‘I was really happy with that part of our game,’ coach Damon Scott said. ‘To hold Ballina to nought was a fantastic effort.’

Given the at times atrocious conditions, the Blue and Golds’ attack was also commendable. They proved conclusively in their first hit out of the season, having had the bye last week, that they will again be among the premiership contenders.

On cue, a filthy storm engulfed the ground as the teams took the field. A biting southerly drove spiteful

sideways rain into the faces of players and hardy spectators, potentially putting the kibosh on any prospect of open footy.

Mullum were the more likely lads straight off.

Quick hands created space on the fringes, with winger Chad Grant being held up over the line after a tremendous cut out pass from hooker and players’ man of the match, Jake Francisco.

The near miss only delayed the inevitable, with centre Glen Godbee swooping on a dropped ball and touching down to give Mullum the lead.

Shortly after, lock Andrew Moroney, scouting wide, burst through near half way, with Grant getting the try after fine support play.

Things looked bleak for the hosts when centre Joel Christie put the busy Moroney in under the posts and a 14-0 lead at the break. Second rower Jay Hampson was gone with a bung leg, but the Giants’ superior execution was evident.

Protecting kids a top priority With the winter sports season now in full swing, NSW Sport and Recreation is offering North Coast sporting clubs the opportunity to update their knowledge of child protection issues at a series of free child protection seminars during May. ‘The child protection information seminars will help sport and recreation organisations understand

risk management and the importance of establishing sound policies and procedures for people working with children,’ said Lyn Larsen from NSW Sport and Recreation.

‘Administrators, coaches, parents and volunteers will all find the seminars of value.

The main focus will be the Child Protection (Prohibited Employment) Act 1998 and

The second half was dourly contested, but mounting pressure told when Christie darted over to place the ball adjacent to the uprights.

Rick Oxley, having decided like Nellie Melba that he is not yet ready for retirement, capped off a typically forthright exhibition of prop forward play by storming over off an iffy pass from the dummy half. His work in the engine room with fellow front rower Joe Robinson – who, without his trademark headgear is like Stan Laurel without his bowler hat – will be a telling factor in the Giants’ campaign.

As the siren sounded for full time, winger Grant scooted away for the best four pointer of a trying afternoon.

Coming on the end of a fifty metre passing movement, it was vintage Mullum and warmed the cockles just long enough for the chilled mob to get from the ground to the comfort of their cars’ air con. the Commission for Children and Young People Act 1998 and the implications of that legislation for sporting clubs,’ she said.

There will be seminars held in both Lismore and Murwillumbah and they are free, but pre-enrolment is essential. For further information, phone NSW Sport and Recreation on 6618 0400 or visit www.dsr.nsw. gov.au and look for the link under Sports Clubs.

Good news for golfers Seniors golf has found a home at Byron Bay Golf Club with the PGA of Australia signing an agreement with the club to host the Australian PGA Seniors Championship for the next three years.

The new agreement follows the successful staging of last year’s event at the northern New South Wales club at which European Seniors Tour regular David Merriman prevailed to take the biggest share of the $65,000 in prizemoney on offer.

‘The unique hospitality offered by Byron Bay last year was an endearing feature of the 2007 championship and with the ongoing club and community support the next three years promises to be memorable for all involved,’ said MaxGarske, Chief Executive Officer of the PGA of Australia.

With the 2008 championship to be staged from 11-14 December, initial planning is already underway for this year’s event with Byron Bay Golf Club President Jim Black confirming 2007 naming rights sponsor Medidrain would continue their association with the tournament.

Mr. Black said that the Byron Bay club was confident the level of additional sponsorship provided for the tournament by local and regional businesses would increase significantly for both this year and for the tournaments ahead due to the overwhelming success of the initial 2007 championship.

‘The staging of the 2007 Australian PGA Seniors Championship event at Byron Bay Golf Club was seen as a major promotional boost for the region and the club is delighted to have reached an agreement with the PGA of Australia to host the championship until 2010,’ said Mr. Black.

The Byron Bay golf course has undergone impressive improvements over recent years and presents a true championship test for both amateurs and professionals.

When notified of the new agreement reigning champion Merriman said he was thrilled the Australian PGA Seniors Championshipwould return to Byron Bay Golf Club and confirmed he would return from the European Tour circuit to defend his title.

Further information on this unique event, including details on sponsorship and playing opportunities, is available from Byron Bay Golf Club by contacting John Bruce (Manager) or Mark Wilson (TournamentDirector) on 6685 6470 or email bbgc@bigpond.com.

Still on golf…

Lower back pain in golfers could be reduced and prevented as a result of a better understanding of the mechanisms responsible for its cause, a new study has shown.

Its recurrence rate could also be reduced, which can be as high as 86 per cent in the general population.

The study featuring in the April 2008 issue of The Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport (JSAMS), published

by Sports Medicine Australia, is one of the first to investigate the muscle activity patterns of the lower back and abdominals in golfers with low back pain.

Researchers Michael Cole from the University of South Australia and the Queensland University of Technology and Dr Paul Grimshaw from the University of South Australia, say those with low back pain exhibit reduced back and greater abdominal muscle activity which could contribute to their injuries.

‘As the back muscles contribute to spinal support, dysfunction of the muscles at this level could lead to a further potential for low back pain and possibly permanent disability.

individuals and any future preventive measures.

‘The most common site of injury in both amateur and professional golfers is the lower back which reportedly accounts for up to 63% and 36% of injuries developed in these sub populations, respectively.

‘As we develop a better understanding of the mechanisms that may contribute to the development of golf-related low back pain, our capacity to reduce the incidence of this disorder through preventive measures is also enhanced. ‘ Sports Medicine Australia recommends that any golfers suffering low back pain should consult a sports medicine professional before continuing with activity.

‘Increased abdominal muscle activity in low back pain golfers would also suggest that these golfers rotate their bodies at a much greater velocity than those without low back pain. Such an increase would exacerbate the pain in these golfers.

‘These findings may highlight neuromuscular deficiencies in low back pain golfers and could have important implications for the understanding of the development of this pain during golf,’ said Mr Cole.

Cole and Grimshaw say these results will also be important when considering the rehabilitation of these

SUN 2ESTORATIVE

Practised in a specially heated room, Bikram Yoga has 26 fun and challenging postures which are suitable for all ages and levels of ability. Each posture stretches, strengthens and prepares speciďŹ c muscles, ligaments and joints in preparation for the following posture. The Bikram method also stimulates the organs, glands and nerves, moving oxygenated blood to the entire body and restoring all systems to a healthy working order, as well as deeply cleansing the body by ďŹ&#x201A;ushing toxins and impurities via the sweat glands. The beneďŹ ts of Bikram Yoga are unlimited. It reduces stress, improves sleep, develops muscle tone and builds strength and stamina. It helps weight reduction improves circulation and boosts the metabolism. It strengthens the immune system, improves breathing and is excellent for back pain, sports injuries and bad posture. Bikram Yoga is so much more than an exercise, it is a therapy that heals the body, calms the mind and invigorates the soul.

LOCKE, VICTOR LEWIS (Blue Star), friend, support, comforter, companion & spiritual guide to Sue (Prema), carer and buddy to Oly. Ageless and Unborn, the compassionate Bodhisattva Victor departed the body quietly on Thursday, April 17 2008, at Australian Orthodox Home for the Aged in Byron Bay. The Angels wept for joy and rainbows marked his passage. Thanks to all who tendered such gentle care these past weeks: Karen and carers at Orthodox, Lorelei and nurses at Byron hospital, Donna Brooks at Tweed, and of course friends Danni, Joan and Ann. -Goodness and mercy followed him all the days of his life, And he dwells in the house of the Lord forever.

-They know me not Who think that I am Only flesh and bloodA transient dweller On the fragile spaceship earth That gave me birth. .

For I am Spirit eternal, indestructible, not confined to space or time and when my sojourn here is through my roles fulfilled, my assignments done I will lay aside this spacesuit called my body and move on to other mansions, roles, assignments in our Father’s house of eternal life. .

So dry your tears Weep not overmuch for me or for yourself Set me free In the love that holds us all And makes us one eternally!

Our paths will cross again Our minds and hearts will touch Our souls will shout with joy & laughter As we recall the lives we’ve lived the worlds we’ve seen the ways we’ve trod to find ourselves at last in God

A hard act to swallow: on Saturday March 29 Chayne Hultgren, aka The Space Cowboy, fulfilled one of his childhood dreams of breaking a World Record with his achievement of the most amount of swords swallowed plus the heaviest weight suspended from a sword. Chayne managed to chow down on a massive 22.4 kilos. So how does a mild mannered mentalist end up the star of the evening at The Crusty Demons Night of World Records in Calder Park, Melbourne? ‘Only eight people made records that night. One guy broke his back. I had a weightlifting bar welded to a sword handle and then I attached big gas canisters to either side of the bar, and they are resting on a table. I crouch under the sword and walk under the blade. One I have swallowed the sword the tables are moved. The previous record was 20.1 kilos.’

Jeff Dawson recorded the effort for an application to the Guinness Book of Records. See Mandy Nolan’s interview with Chayne and his partner Zoe on the front page of Seven. And of course, do not try this at home.

■ ■ ■ ■ OK, we couldn’t resist one more insurance claim from Allianz: ‘In a town in Northern Queensland, locals claim that a ghost lives on the bridge leading to town. One night a man was driving home and, crossing the bridge, had an accident. In lodging the claim and describing the accident circumstances, the man said that half way across the bridge he saw the ghost walking across the road… he swerved, causing him to run the car off the road, resulting in a total loss of the vehicle. While the circumstances of the claim were questionable, it was paid on the basis that it could not be proven that ghosts don’t exist!’
