Locals commemorate Anzac Day in poetry and memory

Top left: Though the main Mullumbimby Anzac Day address was delivered by Mullumbimby Bloke, Ray Essery, he then introduced Ocean Shores storyteller Dean Travaskis. Dean recited a poem dedicated to his grandfather Hec Hetherington after

he had retraced Hec’s war time steps on the Kokoda Track. Called ‘ The Power of Kokoda’ Mr Travaskis’ words moved the assembled crowd, as it obviously had the judges of Tamworth’s Blackened Billy Bush Poetry competition

who awarded him ďŹ rst prize this year. Top right: Frank (Franny) Mills and John Maslen remember the friendships and the hardships of war after the Brunswick Heads dawn service. In July Mr Mills will travel to Canberra to

meet Prime Minister Kevin Rudd as part of the 60th anniversary of the Australian Armed Forces (then known as the CMF). Franny was the ďŹ rst volunteer from this region to sign up in 1948. Photos Jeff Dawson

Writers’ centre funding under threat Jann Gilbert A review of Arts NSW Cultural Grants Program funding may have significant ramiďŹ cations for the Northern Rivers Writers’ Centre (NRWC). In September 2007, NSW Minister for the Arts, Frank Sartor, commissioned an independent review of the program, although Byron Writers’ Centre Director Jeni CafďŹ n and her counterpart at Lismore, Lois Randall, say they received no notiďŹ cation of the review. ‘I actually found the review by accident,’ says Jeni. ‘I was going to the Arts NSW website and I saw this hot news item, “Arts NSW to strengthen cultural grants programâ€?, and I thought, great, more money in the pot!’

Unfortunately Arts NSW’s deďŹ nition of strengthening the cultural grants program did not include more funding for regional writers’ centres. On the contrary, one of the ďŹ ndings of the review states that ‘consideration should be given to ceasing to fund the smaller NSW Writers Centres or devolving them to local government.’ The relevant recommendation is that ‘funding for regional Writers Centres be reviewed and that better outcomes may be achieved by addressing the needs of regional writers online.’ More remote-control government from Macquarie Street. ‘The only stated exemption to this is Varuna, which is the Blue Mountains writers centre,’ says Jeni. ‘One of

the people commissioned by Frank Sartor to perform this review is Sandra Yates, who is named as Director of the Sydney Writers Festival, but it’s not mentioned that she’s also on the Board of Varuna. I just think this is very wrong. It’s such a Sydney-centric review, as though culture stops at the Harbour Bridge. I thought we’d moved beyond that but apparently now funding stops there too.’ Similarly consultation, regional interests, past performance and a host of other democratic rights stop there also. ‘They haven’t even spoken to their own regional body, Arts Northern Rivers,’ says Jeni. ‘There’s no analysis; it’s all supposition, hearsay and opinion. There’s actually no

deep analysis at all.’ In fact, Jeni believes the recommendations in the review directly contradict the NSW State Plan, which is supposedly about building audiences and cultural pathways, and supporting regional arts programs. The NRWC plays a valuable role in the community and one of the most puzzling elements of the review is, of all the funding cuts that might be oated, why writers’ centres? ‘There’s no mention of anything other than writers’ centres,’ says Jeni. ‘It just seems so bizarre and inaccurate. It mentions what a marvellous job the Australian Writers’ Centre is doing with online services but noone’s ever heard of it. It doesn’t exist.’

The current grant funding represents less than 10% of the Centre’s total turnover but it is an essential component of its sustainability. Like other smaller arts bodies, the funds are used to pay staff wages and administration costs. And, as Jeni points out, the cuts in funding will also affect other regional arts bodies such as Screenworks. Arts NSW maintains that the review is just that, however, it’s difďŹ cult to believe given that Sartor has endorsed the ďŹ ndings and writers’ centres across NSW have been put on notice that 2008 is a ‘transition’ year. Presumably this means a transition to no funding. The NRWC has created a submission and enlisted the support of local members

Don Page and Janelle SafďŹ n to plead the case for writers’ centres. ‘The problem is, we don’t know whether it’s already happened,’ says Jeni. ‘We don’t know whether we’re going to have funding next year or not. As far as this Sydney-centric report is concerned, regional equals marginal.’ You can help the NRWC campaign by writing to the Director General of the Department of Arts Sport and Recreation, Ms Carol Mills, at mail@arts.nsw.gov. au putting Ms Mills’ name in the subject line. Your voice is essential to ensure continued funding of the Centre as a valuable, and hitherto healthy, expression of arts and culture in the Shire.

Council greenhouse action strategy changes go on exhibition Recently Byron Shire Council adopted a revision of its Greenhouse Action Strategy for public exhibition. The 2008 Greenhouse Action Strategy is designed to guide Council and the wider Byron Shire community in implementing practical actions to reduce local greenhouse gas emissions. Council’s Sustainability OfďŹ cer, Graeme Williams, said it was important to

review the original 2004 Greenhouse Action Strategy, as ‘our whole understanding of climate change is moving at a rapid rate and Council needs to keep pace with all opportunities to reduce greenhouse emissions’. Byron Shire Mayor, Jan Barham said Council has already begun implementing actions contained in the 2008 Greenhouse Action Strategy.

‘I’m pleased to announce that Council is about to launch a Community Solar Hot Water Heating Campaign. The campaign will feature discounts worth hundreds of dollars for Byron Shire residents to switch from electric to greenhouse friendly, solar hot water heating systems – making reducing our environmental impact more affordable than ever,’ she said.

For more information on the campaign, visit www. byron.nsw.gov.au/solar. The 2008 Greenhouse Action Strategy can be viewed on Council’s website at www.byron.nsw.gov.au/ PublicExhibition or at any library in the Shire. Submissions close Thursday May 22. For more information, contact Graeme Williams on 6626 7305.

Byron Shire Council has voted to join other local councils across the state in calling for a Parliamentary Inquiry into the NSW State government’s ‘pro-developer’ laws. Mayor Jan Barham said the draft planning changes will have serious implications for the community. ‘The State’s pro-developer laws are taking control away from local communities, which is why we’re calling for a freeze on the implementation of the changes as well as a Parliamentary Inquiry,’ Cr Barham said in a press release on Monday. ‘These laws will not only add more layers of red tape and cost ratepayers millions of dollars to implement, but they will also impact on councils’ ability to collect contributions from developers to provide crucial services. ‘As a result, rates and

pro-development laws.’ Council’s acting general manager and planning director Ray Darney said that while Council agreed with a philosophy to improve the planning system, all the Minister’s proposals do is make it more complex, while at the same time taking away citizens’ rights. Mr Darney said that primarily the system had become too complex by successive amendments over the past 15 years to the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act, which was gazetted in 1979. ‘The Department of Planning over the years had caused simple legislation to become too complex, to the stage that most citizens found they needed support from planning consultants to assist them through the process of making an application,’ Mr Darney said.

Some of the major concerns that Council has with the proposals include: s THE LOSS OF RIGHTS OF CITIzens to object to many developments including dwellings erected upon adjacent lands which might affect views, privacy or sunlight; s THE INCREASED POWERS being granted to private certiďŹ ers; s THE PROPOSAL THAT -R Sartor or other authorities can make local environmental plans in any shire within the state; and s LOSS OF 3ECTION CONTRIbutions from developers to enable councils to upgrade facilities due to growth. Mr Darney said that while Council had submitted an urgent response to the Minister’s proposals, he had no high hopes that submissions made by local government would hold much weight with the Minister. â– Comment, Page 10

Council wants inquiry into ‘pro-developer’ laws costs such as parking may need to increase so communities can still have essential services such as libraries and playgrounds. ‘Byron councillors have voiced concern that these laws will mean that private companies will have the power to approve residential development applications and oppose these changes create a situation where the first time our residents know that their neighbour is undertaking a major renovation is not when the bulldozer arrives next door. ‘The people of NSW deserve the right to have a say over local developments and these laws are stripping away those rights.

Whale’s tale in visual petition

New song, dance and music program at Byron YAC A new, free, music and dance program for autumn/ winter music is being launched for all young people 12-25 at the ByronYouth Activity Centre. TheYAC program, funded by Byron Shire Council, includes MC workshops from MC Ms Exotic, and hip-hop dance workshops from the North Coast Hip Hop School’s Dani and her crew, an extension of the DJ workshops from DJ Jackie Onassid. On Wednesdays 5pm7pm, BYS’s mentoring has begun the 2008 incarnation of the Riff music program the ‘Riff Jam Sessions’. Facilitated by local musician Nick Edin, the jam sessions are an opportunity for musicians aged 13- 24 to meet weekly to hang out and play music together – bring your own instruments and ideas, singers are also welcome. For more information on the Riff program contact Rosalie on 6685 7777 ext 4 and for all other inquiries contact Belle on 6685 5775. Don’t be shy, get involved, have a go and make the most of these fantastic free opportunities.

Towards the end of last year the locally based NGO, Surfers for Cetaceans (S4C), launched a petition with a difference called visualpetition.com. Since its inception, almost 5000 people from all around the world have uploaded a ‘petition photo’ to the site of themselves holding up an image of a whale or dolphin. The Visual Petition has received photos from people in all walks of life – young surfers on a beach in Portugal, 16 cops in a police department in California, families from the Czech Republic and students in China, as well as the likes of Jack Johnson, Kelly Slater, Mick Fanning, Michael Franti, Darryl Hannah, Ben Harper, Danny Wills, Captain Paul Watson and Dave Rastovich. Now S4C plans to present the Visual Petition on a 12 metre banner at the IWC60 meeting in Santiago in Chile in late June.

Leading up to this event, Dave Rastovich, local artist Howie Cooke and the S4C crew will travel up and down the Chilean coast, meeting with local surfers, school kids, artists, fishermen and marine scientists to exchange ideas on marine conservation and cetacean protection. Through these meetings S4C will also promote the Humpback Icon project along the Chile coastal community. Specific painting, mural and sculpture projects will take place (and in some places are already under way) in a cultural exchange celebrating our connection with the ocean and marine mammals. Surfers for Cetaceans invites everyone to visit surfersforcetaceans.com and add their photo to visualpetition.com and welcomes any sponsorship and support to enable S4C to get to Chile in support of whales and dolphins.

Business support groups merge Recently two local not for profit organisations, BETC and TETC, merged to form NORTEC (Northern Rivers Training and Employment Centre). NORTEC now has offices throughout the region from which they run a variety of programs connected to the Job Network and business incubators in Mullumbimby, Byron Bay, Ballina and soon in Lismore. Paul Jameson, Business Incubator Manager for NORTEC, said ‘We believe

that there are great opportunities for our local businesses in the areas of clean energy and environmental technologies and we certainly have a lot of enthusiasm, expertise and ideas. ‘Networking on an international level is really important in these cutting edge industries and we are now forming a global network of like minded Business Incubators: Gabiceet, The Global Alliance of Business Incubators in Clean Energy and Environmental Technolo-

gies. With members from around the world including in North America, India, China and Europe our focus will be on sharing information and technology to identify opportunities that we can exploit at the local level.’ Paul Jameson says he is always interested to talk to early stage businesses that may be suitable for the NORTEC Business Incubators. He can be contacted on 0408 866 651 or paul.jameson@nortecltd.com.au.

Training day for wildlife carers People who are interested in the care and conservation of local wildlife are encouraged to attend an upcoming training day being organised by Northern Rivers Wildlife Carers. On average Northern Rivers Wildlife Carers rescue 1,500 native animals a year and respond to 2,500 calls for advice and information. Many of the animals rescued are victims of increasing development and loss of habitat. ‘Although development continues in the Northern Rivers, there are simple things everyone can do to ensure the survival of our native animals,’ says spokesperson Cheryl Cochran. ‘That is what our upcoming training day is all about – how we can live in harmony with local wildlife. We also explain the hands-on role Northern Rivers Wildlife Carers has in achieving that.’ Northern Rivers Wildlife Carers is a local, independ-

Christopher the koala in rehab with the wildlife carers.

ent network of trained volunteers who are licensed to rescue, rehabilitate and release native wildlife. Established in 1992 the Northern

Rivers Wildlife Carers is licensed to care for native animals across one of the largest areas in the state: from Ocean Shores in the

north to New Italy in the south, from Byron Bay in the east to Tabulam in the west. Local Ballina carer Angela Parr says she’s been bringing home injured wildlife since she was a child. ‘I remember being out riding and ďŹ nding an injured bird. I tucked it inside my shirt and rode home. Sadly, back then there were no wildlife rescue organisations to consult, and the bird died. ‘How different today. Through training with the Northern Rivers Wildlife Carers I have successfully released many creatures back into the wild. The most unusual was a large male echidna which had become firmly wedged in the sump pit at the Ballina bus depot.’ The training day will be held on Saturday May 3 at McLeans Ridge Hall, 9am4pm, and costs $20, which includes a year’s membership. To book or for further information please ring Jo after 9am on 6624 7778.

What influences our children the most? What has more influence over our children: Paris Hilton, The Simpsons, Facebook, mobile phones, trendy brands, sexy media messages... or you? That is one of the questions that will be explored by Associate Professor Karen Brooks at a public lecture at Southern Cross University’s Lismore campus on April 30. Professor Brooks, pictured, who took up an appointment in the media department in SCU’s School of Arts and Social Sciences at the start of the year, has recently released a book Consuming Innocence: Popular Culture and Our Children. In the book, she explores the complex relationship that tots, tweens and teens, never mind adults, have with popular culture. She considers the roles popular culture and, more importantly, parents, play in creating children’s ideas of themselves and the world they live in. Her book questions the involvement of corporations that target kids and promote sexuality, and the messages and values the other media surrounding them are imparting. Professor Brooks said the recent cases of cyber and real world bullying, where kids, desperate to become ‘cewebrities’ (a cross between celebrities and the web), upload footage of themselves beating another young person or use their mobile phones to film fights and

sexual exploits, had parents and teachers reeling. ‘We live in a world where we assume we have no control over the media, popular culture or the technologies that our kids are readily accessing and seem to be born using, but this isn’t true,’ Professor Brooks said. ‘My talk will discuss the changes in society brought about through digital technology and popular culture and our kids’ consumption of these things and examine the impact they’re all having on young people, families and communities and what we, as adults, can do about this.’ Professor Brooks has a national and international reputation in the area of popular culture and is a regular commentator in the media. The public lecture will be held at the Whitebrook Theatre, Southern Cross University Lismore campus at 7pm. For information contact Wendy Broome on 6620 3125.

Church stages concert to restore organ Story & photo Lou Beaumont On Sunday May 4, St Martins Anglican Church in Mullumbimby will be launching the Musical Friends of St Martins group with their ďŹ rst concert fundraiser. Musical Friends of St Martins is an evolution of the St Martins Organ fundraising committee and will focus on promoting musical events at the church venue, providing diverse musical entertainment to the Shire while raising funds for church and pipe organ maintenance. Bishop Keith Slater from the Grafton Diocese (from Port Macquarie to Tweed Heads) will be in Mullumbimby to ofďŹ cially launch the fundraising group at the concert. Father Ben Gilmour of St Martins told The Echo, ‘The idea is that the Musical Friends of our church will receive mailouts and discounts at concerts and events in exchange for subscription. We have some seriously talented musicians who give up their time to play at these concerts, so with six concerts already on the calendar it looks like a great year ahead.’ The organ within St Martins is the only public pipe organ in the Shire. Anne Wareing, who will be

playing the organ as part of the launch concert, said, ‘The parish gave me a scholarship to learn the organ. So in exchange for a weekly lesson I play once a month at service. It’s lovely that they believe me ready to play at the concert too.’ The St Martins Organ Committee invites all inter-

ested members of the community to become ‘Musical Friends of St Martins’ to help in the restoration and maintenance of the instrument. The launch concert will be held at the church in Stuart Street, Mullumbimby, on Sunday May 4 at 1pm. Other concerts to follow are the Kids Concert on June

29, the Hymn Fest on August 24, a trivia event to be scheduled, a Spring Concert on September 21 and Christmas Nine Lessons and Carols in December. Membership is $20 per household. Call 6684 3552 or visit www.byronshireanglicans.org and follow the links.

Ocean Shores under Council spotlight Michael McDonald With an election shaping up and issues surrounding Ocean Shores facilities still unresolved since promises made for the polls in March 2004, Byron Shire Councillors are focusing their minds on getting outcomes on sportsďŹ elds and the legendary Roundhouse site. It’s a cynical view, I know, but you could be forgiven for thinking the September 13 election deadline is fuelling councillors’ concerns. Whatever the motives, there was a surprisingly unanimous vote on sportsďŹ elds which bodes some good for the Ocean Shores community. Last Thursday Council voted 8-0, Crs Tucker and Kestle absent, to put the Northern Shire Sporting Fields Strategy on public exhibition for 28 days. The strategy looks at providing ‘significantly expanded facilities in the northern and southern parts of the study area: ie, at New Brighton and at Stan Thompson Oval, Brunswick Heads’. Council will also look at possible sports facilities at Waterlily Park, Ocean Shores, and South Golden Beach following suggestions during public access from Ray Ellis, on this occasion representing the local basketball and netball associations. Mr Ellis envisaged two hard surface courts and a grass court at Waterlily Park and a skate park and a BMX track next to the South Golden Beach community centre. Whether or not Ocean Shores folk will now lay to rest the spectre of sportsďŹ elds at Lot 107 Shara Boulevarde, North Ocean Shores – now subsumed into the surrounding nature reserve – is debatable. There is a lot of

political mileage to be made in dredging up the past, even at the expense of present offers on the table.

Roundhouse saga Talking of the past, Cr Richard Staples’s attempt to have Council investigate the option of ‘establishing a Council-owned aged-care facility at the Roundhouse site’ went down 6-2, only Cr Tabart offering support. Most councillors thought it an impractical site for an aged care facility and wanted to go ahead with the 11 lot residential subdivision on which Council has already spent $50,000 to $100,000 in development costs. Without regurgitating too much of a long and acrimonious history, the Roundhouse site – on the top of the highest hill off Orana Road and adjoining the country club – has cost Council a motza in purchase and court costs and the object of a 2004 resolution (based on a 2001 DA consent!) to subdivide and sell was to recoup some of the cost for the Byron Shire ratepayers. According to the Roundhouse Report of April 1994, the former owners of the Roundhouse received $1,165,708 in compensation for the

loss of opportunity for developing the site, plus $107,134 interest, plus $136,728 towards legal costs – a total of $1,409,565.25. Council had spent about $4m at the time ďŹ ghting that judgement. Once Council was forced to compulsorily acquire the site, the preferred option from community consultation in the 1990s was to use the land for a retirement home. A submission was made to the federal government for funds, but without success. Cr Staples, who was a councillor at that time, said last week, ‘I never had the option of aged care put before me’. I recall both the consultation and the funding application being public knowledge. Moves to block the Roundhouse site sale because of perceived Aboriginal heritage values date back to at least 2003. Council’s consultant archaeologist Jacqueline Collins told Council in a March 2003 report that, while there is no legal impediment to the development of the site, ‘the risk remains that protected archaeological materials may be unearthed during development. In the event that any such materials are recognised, development work must stop immediately and management advice sought from NPWS.’ The saga is not likely to end yet. At the next meeting Cr Jan Mangleson may table a notice of motion to put the Roundhouse site development on hold ‘until the community is consulted’.

Will Swan ruffle feathers budgetwise? Vol 22 #46

April 29, 2008

Property rights jeopardy It would be fair to say local councils have been at war with state government to some degree or another ever since their inception. They lead a precarious existence, dependent on funds from a miser constantly annoyed by them. Current planning minister Frank Sartor has taken annoyance with councils to an art form. It is not explicitly the intention of his proposed changes to the planning system – see the draft exposure bill at www.planning.nsw. gov.au – but pissing off mayors is probably a bonus. There has been a lot of excitement around these latest reforms and current planning scandals, with Sartor hosing down any suggestions he might not have the purest motives in mind. Some local government response has bordered on melodrama, and even the ABC’s normally sensible Quentin Dempster was trying to find a smoking gun in written comments by Sartor when they carried little import at all. However, hype aside, there are genuine concerns about the planning powers the minister is amassing to himself, as though he doesn’t have enough already. Of particular concern is a rejig of compulsory acquisition law, so the state government can then sell on the family home to developers for their projects. Already governments have the power to compulsorily acquire property for public works projects, such as a highway – the folks at Ocean Shores know all about that. But to acquire private land for the benefit of property developers smacks of robber baron mentality and would leave the state government open to allegations of corruption and collusion – even more so than now. Sartor’s attempts to reassure the ‘mums and dads’ have been singularly unsuccessful. SMH reports: ‘Homeowners will not lose their property to developers under proposed compulsory acquisition laws, unless an urban renewal project is in the works, NSW Planning Minister Frank Sartor says. ‘Mr Sartor said legislation has long existed for the government to resume land but the draft legislation will further clarify existing laws and prevent owners holding out for more money. He said a billion dollar civic project for Parramatta, in Sydney’s west, has been stalled by a number of small commercial property owners who refuse to sell up and get out. ‘”Why should we have one or two property owners standing in the way – it just seems crazy,” Mr Sartor told reporters in Sydney.’ Hardly reassuring stuff. Why should one or two property owners not stand in the way? When the power to declare a project of ‘state significance’ already rests with the Minister, what now will stop him acquiring property as if by divine right? Our bolshie council has of course joined in the protest and you can read more about it at www.keepitlocal.org. au. Read also about the Productivity Commission report which looks at the way the NSW government is starving local government of funds and the subsequent impact on libraries, childcare and local roads, to name a few.

nd now for the good news. Having spent the last few months warning us of the blood and toil, tears and sweat which lay ahead of us as he strove to repair the economic profligacy of his predecessors, Treasurer Wayne Swan now informs us that the budget will actually leave us all better off. Admittedly some will be better off than others: working mothers stand to collect an extra $6000 a year each, what with tax cuts and child care payments. But even childless unemployed males will not suffer unduly. Kevinism will certainly involve some austerity, but it will be tempered with moments of generosity. Firm but fair. This at least is the message Swan is rather belatedly trying to send, and not just to the punters. There is an increasing feeling among social and economic commentators that the blunt weapon of interest rates, the only one the Reserve Bank has in its arsenal, might be just a bit too blunt to handle the increasingly complex situation which is developing in the Australian economy. As the United States, representing more than a quarter of the world’s economic production, gets crooker by the day (restrictions on the sale of rice, for heaven’s sake – food rationing in the richest country in human history!) there are fears that the infection must spread. Australia has at least partial protection through the commodities boom and trade with China, but it would be naïve to think we can escape unscathed. A few wrong calls could easily push us into a recession – one which we don’t have, according to most of the experts.

On the other hand, the Reserve Bank is confronted with undeniable evidence of inflation well out of its comfort zone and apparently still on the rise. Under normal circumstances it would be very strongly inclined to raise interest rates again next week. What Swan and the commentators are now trying to do is to convince the Bank that these are not normal circumstances: that there are other constraints on economic activity emerging which will bring things under control and the Bank should hold off for another month. Or perhaps even that, for the moment at least, we can live with a slightly higher rate of inflation (Blasphemy! Sacrilege!) because the only

out to be too lazy even to write his own memoirs) will be more than enough. Meanwhile we have had a taste of the kind of social policy we can expect under Kevinism: the tax on premixed alcoholic drinks has been raised to bring it in line with the tax on spirits. The aim, we are told, is not to raise money (and admittedly Canberra hardly needs the extra $2 billion) but to discourage binge drinking among the young. Well, it might; an extra $1.30 per pop has got to have some effect. But it also begs the question: if we really believe that the socalled alcopops are causing serious health and social problems, why not ban them altogether?

Australia has at least partial protection through the commodities boom and trade with China, but it would be naïve to think we can escape unscathed. by Mungo MacCallum available cure of slamming the brakes on would actually produce results worse than the disease. Swan’s first budget is turning into a serious ordeal; what the selfappointed gurus in the Murdoch press will undoubtedly label a Major Test. It is probably too much to hope that it will be popular; too many interest groups are going to suffer cuts for that. But if it is accepted as responsible by the people who matter, that will do for the time being. The contrast with the Howard years, and the inaction of pusillanimous Peter Costello (who now turns

There is no real doubt that alcopops are a marketing ploy designed to lure teenagers and young adults into making a seamless transition between soft drinks and alcohol: they look and taste like the sweet, soft stuff while packing the kick of a double whisky. They would be no loss: those attracted to the style could mix their own, thus realising what they were really getting, and the rest of us would not be affected. But to ban them would raise cries of ‘nanny state’, ‘wowser’, ‘denier of choice’; it is apparently politically preferable to make consumers pay more for them, thus discriminating against the

poor (who will either give them up or spend more than they can afford) while having no real impact on the rich. Predictably the move has led to demands for a similar rise in tobacco excise: the same arguments apply. There is no real doubt that the overall decrease in smoking has been caused not by increased cost but by turning smokers into social pariahs. To do the same for consumers of a particular kind of drink would be more difficult, and of course any government which tried it with drinking as a whole would not survive twenty minutes. A simple ban on alcopops (as applies to confectionery cigarettes, a similar marketing gimmick) remains the best idea.

T

he announcement that the Chinese government has agreed to talk with representatives of the Dalai Lama should be treated with some caution; similar talks in the past have led nowhere and there is an obvious suspicion that the present move has more to do with taking the heat off the Beijing Olympics than with any real concessions on Tibetan autonomy. Nonetheless any movement in that direction has to be good news, and the proTibetan campaigners on every level deserve congratulations. These of course include our own Kevin Rudd, whose forthright comments in both English and Mandarin, inside and outside China, undoubtedly contributed. In politics as in sport, when you’re hot you’re hot, and when you’re not, you’re… well, hello Brendan.

Dubious benefits of corporate welfare ■ Recent letters by J Harrison and E Brunell highlight the illusions some people have when they hear of certain commercial projects proposed for their area. When my hometown Maleny had Woolworths forced upon it, all their staff were brought in from outside our area.Thanks to the lack of booming business they had no reason to employ more staff because most locals shop at the already existing IGA which isn’t only better stocked but also cheaper. As for new jobs in general, make sure you look at the increasing trend for less staff. In Brisbane Woolies just opened their first do-ityourself checkout, and there are more to come, no humans required, just technology. Regarding the claims that Woolies is ‘community friendly’ and lots of money flows back into the local community – dream on! That is only the case if most locals are also Woolies share-

Bridlepath blues Mac Nicolson’s and W B Crompton’s letters (Echo, April 22) require a response. Wal and Barbara Campbell (Letters, April 15) are totally justified in referring to Mac Nicolson’s complaint about low flying planes as a NIMBY response, given Mac’s (and NHAG’s) lobbying locally to develop horse riding tracks and cycle paths through wild and at present inaccesible threatened ecological communities in Byron Shire hinterland. And W B Crompton appears not aware that NHAG does not only want to open up long established roads for horses, cycles and pedestrians, but also develop paths through very steep,

holders, otherwise you just receive the ‘token gesture’ here and there as Australia’s farmers do, nothing extra or truly generous. Maleny still suffers shocking traffic problems courtesy of Woolworths arrogantly placing themselves into a traffic blackspot instead of settling for more suitable locations. Every time it rains there is ongoing pollution runoff from their car park and waste storage area next to Obi Obi Creek, a major tributary to the Sunshine Coast’s major water supply dam. Mullum deserves better than having its town centre spoiled by ugly development of a type that is more trouble than of any benefit to locals or to farmers. Gaby Luft

Maleny ■ Sarcastic letters such as John Sharpe’s attack on two scholars who spoke at the recent Mullumbimby Community Action Network¹s (MCAN) Information Day require a rational response. I heavily vegetated forests that have never had roads, trails or even a footpath constructed on them, in Byron Shire’s hinterland. The evidence is in NHAG’s proposed development maps to Council. Have a look, don’t be deceived. And Mr Nicolson, low flying planes in the air over your place is nothing in comparison to the damage your proposal will have on the ground, to clear and develop tracks through very steep (over 18 degrees) and wet rainforest country for you and your mates to run heavy hoof exotic animals and cycle trails through (Tour de Koala Kill).

(I am a graduate of both Tufts University School of Medicine, Boston, and Johns Hopkins University School of Public Health – hardly ‘Rainbow’ schools.) Sharpe’s letter gives no actual facts to counter the rather impressive set of data assembled by MCAN about the real costs of a Woolworths-like supermarket in Mullumbimby but rather stays at the level of namecalling. He ignores the corporate-welfare subsidisation policies that allow giant corporations to suck the capital out of local communities through predatory pricing practices that drive smaller businesses out of business, destroying the heart of town.

But the playing field is about to be levelled with the end of cheap oil and the crumbling of the financial house of cards that have allowed such unsustainable practices to become the norm. Corporate welfare, allowing companies such as Woolworths to pass on some of their costs to us in the form of government subsidies, as well as the exploitation of third world countries, is rapidly shifting. Let’s be prepared. Mullumbimby has an opportunity to become a national leader in the recreation of local sustainable economies. The first step is to prevent the backwards step of allowing a ‘big box’ supermarket to damage the town’s infrastructure.

Main Arm DA There are many questions to ask Council as they evaluate the DA for the ďŹ rst of the proposed style developments for Main Arm. How can Council approve this DA without getting the developers to pay for upgrading the dangerous, substandard access roads and Main Arm causeway, as was recommended at the rezoning stage? How can Council approve the south village site for development, as it is entirely on a floodplain, which contravenes BRSS guidelines against rural settlement in flood prone areas? How can Council approve the ďŹ ve house sites located 50 metres or less from the Brunswick River and Blind-

mouth Creek, areas disallowed under the BRSS ood buffer performance standards? Almost the entire south village site is within 100 metres of either of these two waterways. How can Council approve these 11 house sites with individual onsite wastewater systems, as the BRSS guidelines forbid such systems within 100 metres of waterways? How can Council approve the nine rural sites to be located on a steep slope, when the BRSS guidelines forbid rural settlement on land with slopes in excess of 20%, as it causes problems with wastewater treatment and erosion, and increases bushďŹ re risks? I hope that people making submissions objecting to this development will ask these questions of Council as well.

On the trail Googling is not research, Ashiya (Letters, April 22), it’s just opinion shopping unless you’re going to apply critical thought to what you ďŹ nd. But just to make you happy, I looked up your ‘award-winning scientist’. It appears Tom Beardon is president of the ‘tiny’ Association of Distinguished American Scientists, the main purpose of which seems to be awarding each other so they can be members. I don’t see how referencing an unbalanced ex-US Army ofďŹ cer helps the chemtrail case. I also found the he and his cronies have no publications in peer-reviewed journals and have made no demonstrations of their ideas. Before long I was reading about UFOs and

links up, doesn’t it? For a debunking of Beardon’s maths and a possible explanation for his behaviour, look up ‘Tom Beardon – a case study in psychosis’. Len Horowitz, the Messianic dentist who found ‘secret codes’ in the Bible, is no more credible than Scott Stevens, the AWOL weatherman, who thinks the Japanese are secretly creating major hurricanes. Sure. The most convincing and least disturbed member of your panel of experts is Will Thomas, but the fact remains that there is no confirmable evidence for the proposition that chemical or biological agents are being delivered with jet contrails. Constant repetition does not make something true, despite what you may have read in The Secret, nor does listing qualiďŹ cations, relevant or otherwise. I have a couple of science degrees, so what? The signiďŹ cant issue is that I have sufficient grasp of atmospheric physics and chemistry to understand published research. Back in the 80s I was convener of the ACF Atmosphere Action Group, and have been following the science ever since. There’s none supporting

suggest that the thousands of atmospheric scientists are secretly deceiving us, not one game to speak The Truth. During my time with the Australian Museum, I was not the only staff member who regretted having to devote time to replying to nutty theories. Mysteries of the pyramids, creationism, you name it. One guy wanted to ‘sex’ the mineral collection with his pendulum, so that they could be rearranged for happiness. I know what an irrational theory looks like. I don’t doubt the sincerity of chemtrailers, but any skeptic site will provide a convincing debunking.These energies would be better spent on real environmental problems. It might not make you ‘feel good’, Ross, but preserving biodiversity and slowing global warming will make future generations feel better. Can we please move on? Alan Watterson

Letters Arts funding Use your imagination and you’ll probably be one of the many who appreciate the underfunded local arts organisations. If you think the community is enhanced by literature, filmmaking, digital media, performance, music and visual arts, you’ll be surprised to find that the state government has such a dim view of these activities that they want to stop funding them. At a time when the federal government is asking us to be visionary, regional NSW is being cut adrift from creative thinking. So use your creative nous and stand up for an industry which is one of the major economic drivers in the Northern Rivers region. Doesn’t take much imagination to figure that out! Jill Moonie

Splendour DA At the request of Council, Splendour in the Grass has recently submitted amendments to their development application for a ‘trial’ festival event at their property in Yelgun. Council received nearly 1,000 submissions in response to the DA with the majority strongly opposed to the ‘trial’ festival because of the negative impact to amenity, environment, traffic and adverse social problems.

was no longer able to make a living as he can’t find enough kangaroos to shoot. He said for the past year he had been shooting 70% females as had his colleagues. He and another shooter told this to the National Parks and Wildlife Service at a meeting of shooters at Narrabri and their response was ‘we don’t want the Greens to know that, do we?’ Every time an adult female is killed her joey in the pouch is bashed to death and the older young at foot is left to die of starvation, dehydration or predation. Scientists in western NSW have verified that there is 100% mortality of dependent young at foot. Anyone buying kangaroo meat should be aware that it is the product of extreme cruelty. It is the equivalent of buying whale meat. In the meantime Green and Democrat members around Australia are asking questions in Parliament about this high level of killing of females and the cruKathy Norley elty involved, including our President, SGB Progress own local member Ian Association Cohen. Let’s see if they can get any action.

To lodge amendments to this DA six months after close of submissions is highly questionable in itself. Why didn’t Council instruct Splendour to submit a new DA? This approach has been successful in confusing the community, Council staff and no doubt Councillors alike. Splendour are now offering an alternate to their original proposal, ie tunneling through the Marshalls Ridge wildlife corridor. The alternative they are now proposing is an intersecting road (ground level) across Jones Road requiring removal of vegetation, excavation and the import of fill. Both options will impact heavily on the state signifcant wildlife corridor. Objections to the amended version of the Splendour in the Grass are currently on public exhibition with submissions due on May 14. Address your concerns to the General Manager, Byron Shire Council and quote Development Application No. 10.2007.462.1 for a ‘trial’ event in July/August 2009.

Wild youth A lady was recently scared half to death by two young boys who snuck up behind her as she was walking down

a street in Brunswick Heads. She said that she could feel their breath against the back of her neck seconds before they screamed at the top of their voices. The object, presumably, was to provoke a reaction. Had the victim been older or of weaker health the reaction might have been heart attack, although in this case it was just the severe shakes. These kids are obviously feeling repressed and dangerously bored. We live in one of the most sought after locations in the world, so why is that? Many have commented on the lack of respect kids these days have for their elders and community. An emerging youth orientated anarchy? I think the difference is that these days children are not scared into respecting adults. They call their teachers by their first name and are allowed to speak without being spoken to first but are often not given the physical outlets needed to reflect that. I think it is important to speak to children without dumbingdown the subject and freedom of speech is inspiring. But kids need more than words and this transition from silent to vocal youth is confusing when it is not supported by actions. By actions I mean a youth centre. The recent musical event in Brunswick that encouraged young bands

was a brilliant way to include what is becoming a marginalised part of society. Kids 11-17 are largely invisible, too old to be happy with toys and too young for bars. They are restless and frustrated. Their outlet is vandalism and provoking a reaction in a society that tries its best not to notice them. A government funded café would be a great idea. A place where they are not only welcome but specifically catered for. A youth club style idea, sports games, creativity and positive empowerment would give them the outlet they need. So if the council wishes to provide the money for this please contact me as I have many more ideas that need to be put into action. Rachael-Mae Smith

Carbon footprints Re Gayle Russell’s letter of April 15, ‘Modern Blight’. I always say when I read letters like this: ‘Let him who has no carbon footprint cast the first power bill…’ A whipper snipper is a great asset.

Also if you can get a good new or second handmower, it even catches the grass for you, what a good home food producer’s friend it is. I agree with Gayle, whatever happened to the old rake and broom, but here’s a tip – if you do love using the old leafblower, turn off all the power at the outlets of everything you normally leave on, and then do the blowing. The power you save from items on standby will far outweigh the juice a top of the line blower that has an energy efficient rating uses in an hour. Russell Lean

Protecting sharks a matter of life and death Jann Gilbert Rob Stewart didn’t set out to be a filmmaker. As a marine biologist and diver with a lifelong fascination for sharks he’d taken plenty of stills but had no film experience. However, necessity, as they say, is often the mother of invention and when the plight of Rob’s ancient, ocean-going companions

became evident he could not sit back and simply watch it happen. Renting a high-definition digital video recorder Rob set off to document the unparalleled demise of the shark – not an easy task given their media and mythological profile. Although sharks are one of the world’s most ancient species, they

are also one of the least understood. Sharkwater is the result of Rob’s ongoing campaign to raise awareness of the importance of protecting and saving the shark. It was recently released in the US and premiers in Australia as part of Byron Underwater Festival 08. Five years in the making, it’s a sobering and tragic reflection on how the fear and superstition of humankind can drive the last ‘dinosaur’ to near extinction. As a species sharks are approximately 400 million years old. They have survived three major extinctions and, in some cases, have remained relatively unchanged in that entire time. As an apex predator they have a relationship with everything in the ocean (and therefore everything on land) all the way down the ecological chain to phytoplankton (which has an intimate relationship with oxygen levels in the atmosphere). ‘Everyone’s talking about global warming and they’re all talking about inanimate objects. They’re talking about cars, about industry, about carbon and no-one’s talking about the fact that without life in the ocean there would be no life on land. Life in the ocean creates an atmosphere that

‘Moral Victories don’t count’ – S G Tartakower If you like historical novels to be brain teasers rather than bodice rippers we recommend Moral Victories by Echo publisher David Lovejoy. The life of Savielly Tartakower was marked by paradox. He was a passionate man who fought for the Austro-Hungarian Empire in 1914-18 and then for the Allies against Germany in the Second World War. He changed nationalities four times, being born Russian and becoming in turn Austrian, Ukrainian, Polish and French. A debonair gambler, poet and wit, he was yet haunted throughout his life by a youthful indiscretion in pre-war Vienna. And he was also a world-class chess master who left a legacy of beautiful play and fascinating accounts of the game. In life inscrutable, half a century after his death some of Tartakower’s mystery can now be fathomed. Available from the Mullumbimby Echo office $24.95 (add $5.20 postage if ordering by mail).

allows life on land to exist,’ says Rob. While the relationship of the shark to the ecological balance of the oceans is not specifically known, marine biologists, conservationists and environmentalists agree that you can’t lose an apex predator without causing an effect all the way down the line.

Media frenzy Historically, it’s the perception of sharks and the media frenzy that surrounds any attack on humans that has led to the decline of the species. Unlike the compassion aroused by cute, furry creatures the shark arouses our most primal fears. It’s mistaken reputation as an efficient and merciless predator has led generation after generation to justify the slaughter of some of the world’s oldest and largest sharks. However, statistically at least, we have more to fear from falling coconuts. Contrary to its public image as a predator of humans, Rob believes it’s a testament to the accuracy of sharks’ sensory abilities, honed over millions of years, that we aren’t attacked more often. ‘They rarely make mistakes,’ says Rob. ‘They’re senses are so refined they can feel you, feel your heartbeat. They’re generally more frightened of you than you are of them. Unfortunately the only way they can see what we are is to take a bite, which, for humans is often fatal.’ As any surfer, bodyboarder or kayaker knows, from underwater, a human bears a striking resemblance to the silhouette of a seal, one of the favourite foods of larger sharks. But no matter how much fear a shark may inspire, the footage of these ancient creatures being finned and thrown back into the water to suffocate or dangling at the end of longlines that are strung out across 30 kilometres of ocean, is nothing short of barbaric. Just as we now consider the slave trade or whale

slaughter by previous generations an abomination, so too will future generations look back on our actions with horror. As one commentator in the film observes, authorities would never permit the use of traps set across 30 or 60 kilometres of land (the equivalent of longlines in the ocean) particularly when the majority of the catch was simply thrown away because it’s not the target. Rob believes up to 85% of most catches are wasted, ‘while millions of people in the world starve’. Rob believes somewhere between 93 to 99% of the shark population has disappeared and, with the unfettered growth of illegal fishing and finning particularly in international waters around third world countries, the remaining population is critically endangered.

‘Out of control’ Paul Watson, captain and founder of Sea Shepherd who Rob teams up with in the film, doesn’t mince words, ‘We’re just a bunch of primates, out of control.’ Fortunately the situation in Australian waters does not appear to be so grave, however, given that there’s been very little research on sharks, the jury is still out on how population numbers are fairing. It’s also a controversial subject and one that most scientists working for government departments are reluctant to discuss or be quoted on for fear of repercussions. Robert Harcourt, Associate Professor at the Graduate School of Environment at Macquarie University, believes however that interest in research is growing. ‘There’s lots of shark research being done at the moment. In fact, there’s never been so much interest from the DPI [Department of Primary Industries],’ says Mr Harcourt, who was just about to get on a plane to WA to help with some research on whale sharks at Ningaloo Reef. Another prominent Australian shark biologist, who

does not wish to be named, believes that, for the most part, Australian fisheries are reasonably well-managed and shark populations appear relatively healthy. However, he expresses the same concerns regarding apex predators and the health of the oceans, and cites this as one of the major reasons that more research is needed. Despite the tragedy of the situation depicted in Sharkwater Rob Stewart believes that the film has produced some positive results particularly in areas where finning is rampant.

Saving the shark The film had a major release in Costa Rica and, as a result of protests against the practice, the government banned all ‘foreign’ landing of sharks (illegal fishing boats have, until now, been able to land and distribute fins from Costa Rica), and it is also responsible for the start up of a number of conservations groups intent on saving the shark. Ultimately, Rob believes that the best way to change the historical perception of sharks is to get kids interested in conservation. ‘Kids don’t look up to Al Gore, they don’t care about global warming, they’re not buying cars or driving cars, they weren’t around for the green movement in the 70s and they’re not writing cheques to Greenpeace or whoever but they got super excited about Sharkwater,’ says Rob. ‘Instead of a hypothetical about global warming they get to do something that feels right to them. They get to save the last dragon or the last dinosaur. We had one 15-year-old girl who had all of Canada running through the parks to raise tens of thousands of dollars for shark conservation.’ Sharkwater screens at 7pm Saturday May 3 at Byron Cinemas as part of the Underwater Festival 08.

There was no rest for the Spaghetti Circus Performance Troupe, Advanced and Super Mighty Groups in the school holidays! They have been busy flipping, spinning, rolling and pitching as part of the Holiday Intensive being run at Spaghetti Circus. The young performers are skilling up for their major work in September 2008 The Super Hero’s Show. Spaghetti Circus recently received funding from Regional Arts NSW and Australia Council to bring

specialised circus coaches to Mullumbimby. ‘We are so lucky to train with such highly skilled amazing performers,’ said Chloe Robinson, a member of the Advanced Group. Christian SchooneveldtReid, teeterboard, hand balance and tumbling demon, and Hazel Bock, foot juggling extraordinaire, have been sharing their talents with Spaghetti’s young emerging performers. In partnership with Gymnastics Australia, Lynn Martin, one

of Australia’s best Germen Wheel coaches, also facilitated a two-day workshop. Participants also had the chance to ‘fly’ with Steen and Holly from Flying Trapeze Australia on their outdoor flying trapeze rig that is back at Spaghetti Circus. Young people from Flipside Circus’s Performance Troupe and Stepping Stone Groups from Brisbane also took part in the workshops over the weekend. Families of the Flipside performers also took the

opportunity to visit Mullumbimby. Allyson Starky, one of the parents, said, ‘I thought that your trainers were fantastic and Georgia really got the chance to work on some skills. She loved the weekend, we all enjoyed the chance to spend a few hours relaxing in such a beautiful part of the world.’ For information on weekly circus classes call Spaghetti Circus on 6684 3038 or go to www.spaghetticicrcus. com.

Robert McDonald: soldier, poet, teacher, gentleman

L

ongtime Ocean Shores resident Rober t McDonald died peacefully at Feros Village, Bangalow, on Sunday April 20, aged 98. Born Rober t Allen McDonald on February 24, 1910, at Armidale, NSW, to William and Amy McDonald, he grew up in nearby Tilbuster and went to school there, later acquiring a Dip Ed and a BA in Armidale. He first aspired to be a journalist but jobs were short in the late 1920s so he chose to become a schoolteacher instead in 1929, following in his father’s footsteps. It was the beginning of a 42 year career, in which he became a much loved primary school headmaster before going on to become a vocational guidance counsellor. Robert met and married Mary Skewes Bray, also a teacher, in 1937 and they were together until she moved to high care at Feros in 2002. They had three children: Robin, Peter and Michael. A peace loving man but fearful of a Japanese invasion, Robert enlisted in the army in January 1942. At

least ten years older than many of his fellow soldiers, he became known as ‘Old Mac’. During his years of service he met Richard Echin of Camden, NSW, and they maintained a friendship and correspondence into the new century. To relieve the tedium of war they invented and farmed ‘wooly goonks’, their imaginary stock becoming a recurring subject in their letters to each other. On August 9, 1942, Robert lost his brother John when HMAS Canberra was attacked by a force of Japanese cruisers in the Solomon Islands. Robert saw service as a machine gunner – firstly with E Company of the 36th Battalion and later with 2/1 Machine Gun Battalion – on the coastal defences around Port Moresby, enduring regular air raids by the Japanese along with the everpresent threat of dengue fever and malaria. He also took part in the assault on Balikpapan, Borneo, in June 1945. After the Japanese surrender Lance Sergeant McDonald was responsible for arranging the return of

Robert McDonald in a quiet moment during World War II.

soldiers to Australia for discharge and was not discharged himself until February 1946. After spells of teaching in the bush and regional cen-

tres, Robert and Mary settled in Sydney from 1956 to 1974, when they retired to Ocean Shores. They built one of the first houses on the new estate and were actively

involved in the fledgling Ocean Shores Country Club, Robert carving out quite a reputation as a bowler. Forgetting an historical enmity between two Scottish clans, Robert forged a long friendship with another local identity, Gordon Campbell, who would often drop in for a chat and a wee dram. Apart from his dear wife, the great loves of Robert’s life were poetry, art and wildlife. He was one of the data collectors for the Atlas of Australian Birds published by the Royal Association of Ornithologists Union. Often Robert could be seen strolling across the lawn with a queue of magpies behind him, supplemented by his black cat Shadow which was too old to have murder in mind. A keen watercolourist, Robert painted many scenes of the north of the Shire, sold a few and gave many away to friends as well as donating them for good causes. He had a formidable memory for poetry and drama, able to quote Shakespeare, Tennyson and Yeats at length. In 1994 he published a book of his poetry, Zinnias by a

Kitchen, which covered his work from the war years on. He was also a good friend of The Echo, often climbing the steps to the Mullumbimby office to supply the staff with lamingtons, cakes and gentle charm. Several of his poems appeared in our pages over the years. Robert lived independently at Ocean Shores, and continued to drive his car, until 2004, when the death of his son Peter, followed by the death of wife Mary in 2006, sent him into a decline. He moved first to Feros at Byron Bay and then to high care at Bangalow, all the while maintaining a good sense of humour and a kind word for those who cared for him. His friend Richard Echin best summed up Robert’s character by quoting the artist Walter Savage Landor’s poem Finis: I strove with none, for none was worth my strife. Nature I loved, and next to Nature, Art. I warmed both hands before the fire of life; It sinks, and I am ready to depart.

Simba celebrated life through music and dance

K

eefe (Simba) Davidson-West (6/9/27 – 18/4’08) was born in Port Antonio, Jamaica. His life of 80 years brought us a man with the heart of a lion… thus his name Simba. Dentist, actor, dancer, singer, percussionist, artist and maker of musical instruments who always had time to have a chat and a laugh with everyone he met. During World War II the British Navy called for all young men aged 18 and older from the UK and colonies to enlist. At the time it was an opportunity for young Jamaican men to make a better life for themselves. Upon their arrival in the UK, the British authorities could not understand why the regulation boots given out to the young men were all too big for them… the fact was that many of them, including Simba, were only 15 years old. He trained with the British Navy and became a dentist. After the war he studied and performed in theatre in the UK taking lead roles in London West End theatre and also as guest actor in repertory theatres in Scotland, Wales and England. He was to go on to become one of the best -known Caribbean actors. His success in films came with John Boor-

man’s Cannes Festival award winning movie Leo The Last and Peter Brook’s Tell Me No Lies. After a long and successful running in the London hit musical version of Two Gentlemen of Verona, Simba was invited to join the National Theatre (Old Vic) under the direction of Sir Lawrence Olivier. A talented dancer, Simba was invited to be the lead dancer in the original film of

Cleopatra with Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. Later he was to work with Shirley Bassey as head dancer on her first tour of the UK. While touring with the Porgy and Bess opera in Germany, he was invited to record his original songs. He experienced immediate international success with his first song Turn on to Love. In London’s Notting Hill Festival Simba conducted

workshops which culminated in directing 100 school children to perform at the Royal Albert Hall. He directed the American jazz and poetry play Shakespeare in Harlem, Nottinghill Blues and Britain’s first Reggae pantomime. He also narrated the Brier Anancy stories. 1980 saw Simba teaching African and Caribbean studies at Melbourne University and performing at schools, festivals, folk and jazz music festivals. His distinctive baritone voice was heard on TV commercials and he also recorded with Australian jazz maestro Paul Grabowsky. In the mid 1990s Simba relocated to Byron Bay, where he ran percussion workshops and taught African dance and chants. He could sing in 17 different African languages as well as English, German and Italian. Many will remember him at the Maleny Folk Festival and also more recently in Byron Bay, for his Nigerian ‘Odunde’ chant, leading thousands of men and women in singing to welcome in the New Year. As an artist and musician in residence Simba lived at the Byron Arts Factory during the late 1990s where he became a popular and dearly loved celebrity. Unfortunately a major piece of his artwork, The Bob

Marley Tribute, went missing when Simba moved to Pinehaven at Suffolk Park in 2000. His family would dearly love to locate it. If anyone knows its whereabouts please phone Diti Dickson on 6684 2964. Simba passed away peacefully at Pinehaven Nursing Home on Friday May 18, 2008. He is survived by his five children, three grandchildren and two great grand

children. He has touched the hearts of many through his music, dance and song. There will be a celebration of Simba’s life at 2pm on Friday May 2 at Gummifera Gardens, at the Lismore Memorial Gardens, Skyline Road, Goonellabah, All are welcome. Anyone wishing to car pool from Byron to Lismore Memorial Gardens can call Andrew Mignot on 6685 7472.

Articles Jann Gilbert looks at reactions to festivals, future plans and hopes of alternative sites

Byron Shire not so festive about festivals

T

he word ‘festival’ would normally conjure up images of ‘merry making’ or ‘revelry’ (one definition according to the Macquarie Dictionary), however, in Byron Shire, it’s a term that often polarises opinions and people. Rather than the ‘wowsers’ that the so-called detractors or questioners are often portrayed as (and there’s probably that on the spectrum of objection as well), there are many people in the community who express legitimate (and often the same) concerns about the reality of two private festival sites in a small but obviously ‘state significant’ shire. The primary concerns regarding Splendour and the Blues Fest include the number of festivals per year, noise, traffic management, security, illegal camping and the increase of alcoholrelated incidents – all valid concerns, which both festival camps go to significant lengths to allay. The recent Blues Fest demonstrated that the community and the festival could cohabitate, given the right set of circumstances (venue, traffic management, security etc). Splendour organisers have also run relatively incident-free festivals, and both have made significant contributions to community organisations, and the local economy (although probably not quite the bonanza their marketing would have us believe).

Mistrust But the mistrust persists (particularly with Splendour) and, while organisers struggle to see the problem, many in the community become more jaded by the lack of understanding. It’s partly the old ‘we should be grateful for everything the event/business/ development is doing/has done/will do for the Shire and its people’. It’s rhetoric that’s commonly used when the community voices objections to an event/business/ development wanting to set up shop in the Shire regardless of the fact that no-one particularly wants them, and certainly not at the expense of the community. If a considerable chunk of the benefit from events/business/development did flow back into the community, no doubt most residents wouldn’t have a problem with some temporary inconvenience to their amenity. However, while the festivals have meant significant gains to commercial operators in hospitality, accommodation,

The crowd was blue but happy at the 2005 Splendour festival before most of the controversy erupted.

retail and so on, the average resident has seen no such gain in community infrastructure to cope with the influx of people these events generate. Two private, out-of-town festival sites appear to mean even less benefit for the community with on-site everything reducing the multiplier effect (money that is transferred into the local economy by local businesses and residents who earn income from the events). Does this mean the community will get all the inconvenience without any of the benefits?

How many festivals? Then there’s the question of how many festivals? Are we going to be/do we want to be living in Festival Central with the possible consequences it brings? The Blues Fest is adamant that it’s one festival and one only, while Splendour is a little more circumspect and maintains it is concentrating on the trial DA before deciding how many permanent festival days it will ultimately apply for (that’s providing the DA for the trial event is approved). ‘Having a trial event is probably the best way to gauge if an activity of this nature does provide benefits to a whole range of stakeholders,’ says Matt Morris, General Manager of North Byron Shire Parklands (NBSP). Both organisers are aware that there’s a limit to the market, there’s only so many festivals you can have. However, when questioned regarding the rumoured 20 festival days per year that may be applied for in the permanent DA, Mr Morris could not confirm or deny it. ‘If we don’t get the approval for the trial event, everything else is just theoretical,’ says Mr Morris. ‘Until we know where the

issues lie, if at all, it’s very difficult to determine the number of events that we could feasibly put on that site.’ With regard to recent amendments to the DA and its timing Mr Morris maintains that NBSP had no indication that Council was preparing to reject the DA prior to the amendments. (Council was asked to comment but no response was received at the time of publication.) ‘It’s simply a matter of timing,’ says Mr Morris. ‘We were hoping that Council would make a decision in January or February but that didn’t happen so Splendour in the Grass had to make a call on where they were going to host the 2008 event.

DA changes ‘The only changes to the amended DA are the dates, and we’ve also changed the location of the emergency helicopter landing pad and the Tipi Forest, which is one of the proposed music stages. Council indicated that they would be happier with the relocation of both and we were happy to oblige. Council also asked us to provide an alternative to the underpass that was proposed initially for people and traffic movement between the north and south areas of the site and we’ve submitted a proposed overpass as an alternative.’ Despite the cooperation and transparency the doubt lingers and, in reality, it’s a wariness based on the result of previous clashes between commercial and community interests. As an exercise in gauging just how community-minded the festival organisers might be, a hypothetical was posed regarding whether or not they would consider combining resources to develop one festival site particularly in the event that their respec-

tive DAs are not approved. Interestingly, this concept was not one either promoter had particularly contemplated. Herein lies the other community aggravation: the notion that anything a promoter/business/developer believes is good for the community is presented as a fait accompli because we’re obviously just a bunch of hicks who don’t know how to exploit the natural talents of the place we live in.

Combined site? But back to the hypothetical. Following this year’s Blues Festival there was much discussion regarding what a great permanent festival site Belongil Fields would make. Unlike the good old days at Red Devil Park when every woman, man, dog, child, cat and god-knows-what-else was attempting to get from one side of town to the other the whole weekend barely raised a blimp on the town radar. The obvious question was, why not Belongil Fields as a permanent festival site? Gary McDonald, a director and shareholder of the syndicate that owns the Belongil Fields property, made it crystal clear that they were not looking for offers on the site. He and the syndicate have plans to develop the land for urban release, which is obviously far more lucrative than a permanent festival site. ‘Council resolved to include Belongil Fields in the new Shirewide LEP as a residential release area,’ says Mr McDonald. ‘Basically there’s only us and the neighbouring property left for any urban expansion in Byron Bay. That’s the direction we’ve been going in and we’re not really contemplating any alternatives because we basically believe it’s the most appropriate usage for the property. We are definitely not seeking interest from other parties,

and I want to make that clear, but, I guess, if something significant came along, we’d probably have to look at it.’ The Blues Fest did approach the Belongil Fields syndicate some time ago regarding purchase of the site however, quite obviously, the two had very different ideas about land prices in Byron at the time so the offer was not ‘significant’ enough to sway the syndicate’s hearts, minds and wallets. Splendour has apparently never contemplated the option, however, the reported $6 million it spent for the parcels of land that make up NBSP would not have been enough to buy it either.

Council land With Belongil Fields out of the picture there is another site that could be discussed. Council has designated a parcel of land to the northwest of Bayshore Drive as community sporting and recreation fields. Given that this location shares many of the benefits of Belongil Fields it could also be considered as a permanent festival site. With combined resources, who knows, it may succeed in being a world’s best practice site using environmental initiatives such as solar power, composting toilets and recycled grey and wastewater, with some permanent infrastructure that the whole community can use. Not to mention that with Council as a stakeholder (a lessor not a festival organiser), the entire community would benefit financially as well as the festival organisers. One of the drawbacks to this suggestion is the desire of some Councillors to put a cap of 10,000 people per day at events at the site. In commercial terms, this is simply not realistic. Ten thousand people per day will not generate enough profit after costs to warrant the entire

exercise. And with approximately 15,000-17,000 punters per day, the recent Blues Fest proved that numbers could be increased with minimal impact. If the West Byron site size is a problem, surely some of the adjoining land could be used to expand it? From past conversations with the Mayor it appears she would be happy to at least discuss the idea of a permanent festival site at West Byron. In response to the hypothetical posed, Matt Morris from NBSP felt that the time to sit down together had passed. ‘The situation we’ve got at the moment is that you’ve got two different groups who’ve spent large sums of money. In a perfect world if those three parties could have come together, who knows, maybe something could have happened but we’ve got what we’ve got at the moment. If the trial DA is not approved I would suggest to you that Splendour in the Grass will be looking for a new home outside of the Shire, and all of the economic benefits, all of the employment benefits associated with it will be lost because that’s the economic reality.’ Unfortunately the Blues Fest could not be contacted for a response to the hypothetical so we don’t know if they’re also planning on taking their marbles and going home if the DA is not approved. This, of course, could be music to some folks’ ears. However, it would be unfortunate to lose the opportunity to find a solution that benefits everyone particularly if either group decides to call in the Minister for Planning to decide the debate.

Profit and community Ultimately, the underlying concerns in the community are not so much about festivals per se (others like the Writers Festival generate no controversy) but whether profit-driven enterprise can be reconciled with community interest. A social ‘licence to operate’ does not mean a company will behave like an individual, and nor are they legally required to (unfortunately). If commercial interests can work with community instead of blindly pursuing their own grand plans at the expense of the average resident, and their humble but nevertheless valid opinions and concerns, the possibilities are endless.

That must certainly be the point of view of the countless numbers of sharks who are being slaughtered around the world in record numbers, in many cases literally to the point of extinction. To save lives, to feed the starving? No, so their fins can be sold through the Taiwanese mafia into the global food market in what has become a multi billion dollar industry. The screening is a feature event of the Byron Underwater Festival and is also a fundraiser for Australian Seabird Rescue. ASR's Rochelle Ferris will give a talk on the work she continues after the tragic death of her father Lance, and renowned underwater photographer David Hannan will share some of his experiences filming Sharkwater. Tickets $12.50, on sale now. To win a pass email mandypow@echo.net.au with subject header 'shark'.

For most artists, album releases are accompanied by a string of gigs. That won't be happening for some time, because right now, Jesse admits that it all seems a little surreal, like a different life. We did the interview by phone from his hospital bed. 'I am holding the CD so I can remember that I made it. I am supposed to be out of here in a couple of weeks. For a break. And then a couple more months back here. Six months out of my life. I don't know where I am living, or if it's going to change me. It's just hard to know anything. I am totally in the trenches.' For a man as sick as he is, he is surprisingly optimistic, and rather cheerful. 'Glenn (owner of Vitamin Records) came up with a box of CDs and the nurses have been playing it – I've been signing CDs from the bed – they want me to do a gig here!' The title track is a little prophetic in retospect, considering that Jesse's lack of energy and illness during the recording session at Lot 64 Studio in Goonengary with Christian Pyle was due to his undiagnosed condition. The creative urge is a powerful thing, and somehow, through the fog, Jesse and Christian created a remarkable album. 'I wanted to get it done, this was different to every other time where you booked a week and just did it. This was spread over months and it seemed to drag along, I wasn't really thinking about it, and I just

wanted to get it done. But it was just getting ridiculous – I couldn't walk 5 feet without being out of breath and feeling like I was going to pass out, but I had a job to do and I had to finish it. I knew I wasn't well, but I thought, I will check it out when I get to the other side. It was mastered on the Saturday and on Sunday I had the diagnosis.' Although he battled an unknown adversity, Jesse enjoyed the creative merits of working with a producer in a more relaxed

setting for recording. 'I kind of like this way of doing it. Getting to know how Christian worked as well and having a relationship and trying to connect with each song changed the way the album came out.

'We played a gig together a few years ago on the same bill and we met again the next year and we just started catching up and having beers and hanging out. The whole recording experience was very loose, especially as his studio is at home. One of the walks he took me on nearly killed me. I mean it could have actually killed me! I kind of liked it this way, at the time it was a real struggle, not just with how I was feeling, but with what we

were doing in the studio, you don't know how it's going to sound, and it has to be an element of trust, and you have to have the right to veto anything.' Although he's cooped up in a hospital bed, Jesse isn't listening to his own CD. 'I tend not listen to it once it's done – I don't see the point of listening to it, it's gone, and I am thinking about the next one.' The CD moves from simple uncomplicated arrangements to layers of violins or talking through walkie talkies. The end result is an album that is moody and emotionally evocative, fragile yet robust. I particularly love Hot Shot, which was recorded in one take with one microphone in the middle of the room – where producer and musician tipped their hat to the recording traditions of old. Jesse Younan's ' A Good Day for A Migraine' is available through Vitamin.

The Halls Aren’t Alive with the Sound of Music

T

his week I received an email informing the media that all the gigs scheduled for Coorabell Hall have been cancelled. It would appear that those close to the hall have decided to assert their right to a silent night. Great, just what we need. More wealthy wowsers moving into the area killing off what little cultural integrity we still have. Frankly, I'm tired of it. I have some advice for those who want a peaceful rural setting. Move to Grafton. Or Casino. Or Toowoomba. Or Maclean. In fact, nearly every regional area on the map will be characterised by one thing. At night nothing happens. People get pissed in their homes and beat up their families. Or swear at the telly. Then they go to bed. Apart from the quiet moans of loneliness and desolation and the occasional farmer shooting himself in sheer drought ridden despair, the only pin you'll hear drop is by the local ladies patchworking team as

We don't make any major decisions without a tarot reading. We are spiritually gullible. We are optimistic. We believe that affirmations and our spiritual enlightenment will change the world.

I was a bit surprised at first. I only know the pot plants on the heads and Whip It. I can't imagine what happens after that. Do they have other

garden equipment. Other sado-masochistic songs? But then as I reflected back I remembered Girl You Want, and Beautiful World and the mainstream success they had with Freedom of Choice. Christ.

This alternative culture, as spectacular and magical as the mushrooms that grew in shit after a good rain and a burst of sun, became the magnet that made this place special. In marketing terms, one would say that our creativity and our hippy history is our point of difference. It's an integral part of our identity and our branding. It is that indefinable X factor that fired the most extraordinary metamorphosis; where a working class whaling town blossomed into a billionaire's bohemian retreat.

the pub. It means that families can bring their children, who curl up on blankets by the fire while their parents dance, or talk about their last meaningful hug with Amma. It means that musicians can play outside of an environment focused on the sale of alcohol, all the while creating a rich social capital of culture, creativity and connectedness. We have some of the best music festivals in the world here. We have some of the best musicians and performers. It's the one thing that stands between an area being cosmopolitan or parochial.

It's getting ridiculous. No drumming at the markets. No festivals. No music in the hills. It's too noisy. I can't hear my motivational tapes. I can't count my money. Personally I can't stand drumming. It's irritating. I have never felt the urge to dance undieless at a 10am community market in a healing circle. But it's a cultural expression of people coming together. I find groups of people singing hymns at Sunday morning church just as annoying – and those frigging bells. But I'm not about to complain. Halls have played a vital role in fostering a music scene outside of

In saying this, it is with regret that I inform you that The Coorabell Hall Association are unable to have any more bands playing there. I hope the wowsers responsible are happy with themselves. They have managed to eradicate 30 years of hall music. It's the cultural equivalent to chicken pox blankets. We all know the moniker of the privileged: If you don't want to join em, beat em. And before you start whingeing that I wouldn't know what it's like to live next to a hall full of music, stick a Country Road sock in it because I live across the road from one.

But that's because the guy’s got curly hair. As those polar caps melt, bands like Sigur Ros are drifting south. Ethereal Icelandic sensation, Sigur Ros make their debut appearance at Splendour this year. The band are currently putting the finishing touches to their fifth studio album in New York. Rockabilly favourites The Living End are always good for a bit of rough and tumble, they're mucking in as are The Presets, and the whimsical soft hearted romantic, Ben Lee. He's only a feather and a red string bracelet away from enlightenment. The act that I'd be chomping to see is Tricky. Renaissance man

and recognised as one of the vanguards of a new musical revolution. Influenced as much by torchlight jazz as the beats of hip hop, his style has literally opened the door to numerous artists that fill the electronica landscape. Mercurial and enigmatic. He's like listening to music with a plush red velvet ear. Other acts are Vampire Weekend, Cold War Kids, The Fratellis, The Wombats, Pnau, Laura Marling, The Vines, Operator Please, The Grates and Band of Horses.

Spankinhide join forces to bring the power of N’Jinji to communities across Australia. Throughout Africa Chris Berry is recognised as a master musician and spirit caller. In the West, he is hailed as one of the world’s leading practitioners of African music and dance. Californian born Berry’s study of African music began at the age of 13. This became an obsession which would soon take him to Africa and see him immersed in the rich musical and cultural traditions surviving upon its shores. Today, 23 years on, Berry is a master of mbira (thumb piano) and the ngoma drum, and has earned the title of gwenyambira (‘one whose music calls the spirits’), a distinction reserved only for those who have achieved the highest fusion of the technical and the magical in Shona music. He is not only the first white person, but also the first non-Shona person to receive this distinction. Berry returned to America after over a decade in Africa to follow the edict given to him by the ancestor spirits to convey the ancient knowledge of N’Jinji to the world. The hope is that people around the globe will become practitioners of this healing artform and use it as a means of strengthening themselves and their communities. Berry has invited Spankinhide to join him on this N’Jinji tour after having developed a decade-long friendship and musical relationship with Spankinhide’s leader Elliott Orr. With 17 years drumming under his belt, Elliott is respected as the leading proponent of African drumming in Queensland. He has been teaching and performing rhythms extensively, including original compositions by Berry. In many ways Spankinhide’s style is a blending of Berry’s sound and traditional West

MIHIRANGI AT THE HOTEL GREAT NORTHERN SATURDAY

TRIO APOPLECTIC AT THE BLUE BIRDY WEDNESDAY 7 MAY

Af i African styles. t l Saturday S t d att Kohinur Hall.

DON'T FIGHT THE PANICS It’s been an amazing year for The Panics. Not only did Cruel Guards debut in the Top 20 of the ARIA charts, it earned the band the 2007 J Award for Triple J Album of the Year and standout single, Don’t Fight It, a place in the Top 10 of the Triple J Hottest 100. The Panics also recently picked up two WAMI Awards in their hometown of Perth including the public voted Most Popular Act. The band are on the cusp of an international tour, taking in SXSW in Austin, Texas followed by shows in the USA and UK throughout March. The Panics then return for a major national tour in April and May, stepping it up a notch and playing theatre venues around the country. They perform at the Hotel Great Northern on Thursday.

MUSIC THREEWAYS Trio Apoplectic are as their name suggests, a trio. These accomplished young jazz players met when they started studying at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music back in 2003. Alexl Abel and Dave originally only formed for performances at the Conservatorium but it became evident that the demand for their new wave of jazz was calling from the broader music loving community. John Shand, music reviewer for the Sydney Morning Herald was suitably impressed with their playing: 'More evidence of the strength and depth of younger players. Accomplished individually, collectively assured.' Angry young fit and furious. Well, that's what Apoplectic apparently means. If I wasn't the complete opposite, passive, middle aged and unhealthy, I'd actually look it up to check. The trio are keen to assert the relevance of jazz as a contemporary

art form and take it beyond be ond the confines of metropolitan centres. The guys all grew up in regional NSW, so their latest regional tour is a bit like a homecoming. Trio Apoplectic play The Blue Birdy in Byron Bay on Wednesday 7 May.

SEEING VOICES The Annual North Coast Entertainment Industry Alliance's Dolphin Awards are on again. The finalists have been nominated and the votes are in. Musicians, artists, and entertainment industry folk gather to honour the best and the brightest in our local industry. The evening also offers fellow musicians and industry members a chance to sample each other's work. Described as ‘mesmerising’ and ‘hypnotic’, local favourites Invisible Friend will hit the stage on Wednesday at The One Nightclub from 6.30pm. Wear something fabulous, because Mary Gilhooley's is rolling out the red carpet. Tickets $25 with meal included and available at All Music and Vision Stores.

GOING PLACES WITH NO WAR No War is the first single from Mihirangi’s (me-heerung-ee) upcoming second album, due for release in the second half of 2008. No War, with its almost electronic feel created through hypnotic loops and effects, takes Mihirangi into new musical territories, moving her away from the world roots based styles she’s normally been associated with. This versatility showcases why Mihirangi is so remarkable a performer. Brandishing a powerful and evocative message, No War sets the standard for both the lyrical and musical strength of the album. Paired with Mihirangi’s amazing vocal talent the underlying impact of No War resonates with the tenderness and raw power that makes her

traditional sound so unique. Recorded and produced by Andy Baldwin (Cat Empire, Powderfinger) in New York, No War captures Mihirangi’s 'live-loop' appeal with an infectious energy and groove while making her cross-cultural ideals clear. The album is full of Mihirangi’s signature fusion of soul and roots and the single No War introduces a little electronica style sound into the mix revealing the progressive evolution of her music. Mihirangi’s mix of beat boxing, vocal harmonies, percussion, acoustic guitar and flute combined with potent lyrics addressing indigenous and environmental issues sung in both English and Maori have ensured her place as one of the most exciting solo performers in both her homeland and Australia. She performs at the Hotel Great Northern on Friday.

FLOYDS PROMISE F F Floyd Vincent is considering p politics, and what a platform he has. Sure, they're just shoes right this moment. But he's got the schtick that will just build. His latest promise is that ' No Australian child goes without an electric guitar and marshall stack after year 7'. That’s right! Just returned from the 20/20 summit where Floyd pushed the concept to the powers that be he and the

Childbrides will be rocking it up across the weekend at the Beach Hotel. Kev Rudd has pledged to look at the concept and only voiced a small concern that Fender amps might be more appropriate from his experience. Sunday is also Winter Whales day in Byron and Childbrides bassist Bill Jacobi will also be doing a solo set at the Beach Hotel from 1.30 pm Saturday 3 and Sunday 4 at the Beach Hotel. THE LYONS THAT ROARED Greg Lyons brings his funky band The Hip-0peration to The Blue Birdy. His impressive line-up features the talents of great young guitarist Ben Thompson and two fabulous singers, Vanessa Baker and Sophie Wilson.The band also features some classic vintage keyboard sounds from Howlin’ Bob Howlett on Hammond organ, as well as Alstonville’s funkiest export Scott Hillson drums and Shaston King on saxophones. The Blue Birdy will sing to the sounds of the Neville Bros., Ray Charles, Maceo Parker, Aretha and some New Orleans ‘second-line fonk’. Wednesday at the Buddha Bar from 8pm. ON YOUR MARK, GET SET, BO Bo's in Byron (opp. Gt. Northern) is hosting a musicians jam on Sunday arvos. Mullumbimby band Broadfoot play a set and then the afternoon will be open for those who wish to have a go, backed by members of Broadfoot if requested. It is anticipated that over the weeks, different musicians from over the shire, with differing musical styles will help coordinate the event which will give the jam a nice mix of flavours. The music will start from 3pm so bring your instrument and have some fun!

CULTURE ART – SEEING WATER The curators for Marine Visions at Retrospect Galleries have remarked on the high level of the quality of work they have had for their competition. The opening coincides with the Underwater Festival Opening. It's now time for the public to come out and view the show. As you know the judges are important influences in our community. Jeff Dawson, Jan Barham, Steven Alderton, Sue Muddiman, and Candy Baker have offered to select the work that they see as the

most worthy. With over 60 entries, this is a community event that includes artists and asks them to share their environmental awareness of marine life and the beautiful ocean we live so near to. The artist have been asked to use their medium to show just what the world beneath the water means to them. A seafood dinner is also planned for Bo's Cafe next door. Exhibition and launch opens this Friday at 7pm.

AUSTEN TAYHUS RETURNS If you haven't heard of Austen Tayshus, then you obviously having been paying very close attention. For over 20 years this Ray Ban-wearing icon of stand up has been at the helm of the Good Ship Satire. Austen is renowned for mouthing off. Big time. He is fearlessly funny. He says things that you wouldn't dare think. He's a cultural provocateur who loves a challenge. Never try and temper a Tayshus gig with a pre-show warning to the standup super star. Every one who has ever tried has lived to regret it. 'Mate if you could not mention the

STANDUP COMEDY GEORGE AT CAFE COMEDY Standup comedian George Smilovici is the feature performer at this month's Cafe Comedy in Bangalow. Renowned for his infamous 'I'm so tuff' routine, George makes his mark by voicing the inner monologue. Able to articulate the search for

bodgy renovations in the beergarden.' Austen will walk on stage and do a 30 minute set about the shit beergarden. He is not a suck. In fact, he's the complete opposite. A whirlwind of energy and attitude he never hits twice in the same spot. As a fellow comedian, one of the most impressive qualities about Austen Tayshus is his sense of danger. He loves to take performance and audiences to the edge. He sees himself as on a mission, to rediscover just what it is to be Australian. His standup calls into question, over and over again, our cultural values, our bigotry, our personal politics, the way we think the way we live. Every Austen show is different. He weaves together something from the room, something from his bag of tricks and something that is current. Personally I am quite interested to hear just what he has to say about Kevin Rudd! He performs at the Byron Services Club's glorious Pandanus Lounge on Monday 12 May with Mandy Nolan as MC and Mullum mumma, the very funny Ellen Briggs as support. Tickets can be booked by phoning 6684 3443 or are available at the club for $15/20.

As I’ve never really ventured too far into the commercial club-scene I felt it was about time to interview someone local that does. Kristin is a Hip-Hop and R’n’B girl at heart. As a resident DJ at Cocomangas, Byron Bay on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays in Byron Bay for the last five years and on Friday nights at the Ballina Hotel for the last three years, Kristin proves to be a pro. Her repertoire consists of a mix of R’n’B, Retro, Dance and Hip-Hop. As part of the Showgirls at Cocomangas, Kristin has also performed in many different characters at plenty of theme nights dancing around poles and on top of podiums. The girl knows that dance-floor! I am convinced she has got the clubbers wrapped around her fingers like she’s got her legs wrapped around the poles. Q: With a three and a five year residency under your belt you quite likely are envied by many other DJs in the Byron Shire, what got you so much regular DJ-work do you think?

You’ve and I say, say ‘NOW! to drugdrug kept a low profile, why? law-reform’ for all drugs.

Nimbin would be a holy town if it happened to be in the Himalayas! The big difference being that dreadlocked spiritual seekers smoking chillums are revered in India, but arrested in Nimbin. The developers who want to “clean up our act” forget so much of our north coast inspiration came from pot, and still does for many. In our village we did our own cannabis café trial some years ago and some of your readers will remember the pure joy of the sanity of being able to enjoy a hassle free purchase of reasonably priced cannabis. Until the local national party member Thomas George procured a bunch of letters, largely from Nimbin church elders, complaining about police inaction. Everyone seemed to know about the cafes and the town had never felt better. We were told by the police minister who had old months earlier officially told Parliament there was no evidence of cannabis cafes in Nimbin, he now had no choice but to authorise major raids on the cafes that were openly trading. Our point had been made, yet nothing has changed. s So a highlight of this year’s MardiGrass is a presentation by Dr Alexx Wodak (President of the e m Australian Drug Law Reform le Foundation) of a taxable ply pl regulated cannabis supply ed model. He will be supported ogy by Professor of Criminology Paul Wilson from Bond Uni, the legendary Ed Rosenthal from the USA and others who can’t be named because they get paid by the government!

Television Guide 1. If surreal black comedy is to your taste try Ferpect Crime (SBS, Friday 10.20pm). The Spanish do it so well. 2. Kate and Leopold is a sugary confection, in which Hugh Jackman is impossibly gallant, and Meg Ryan sleepwalks through her role. Like the eighteenth century, funny in spots. 3. Episode 3 of the second set of Star Wars, Revenge of the Sith (Ten, Sunday 9pm), is the best of the new bunch, with special effects and convoluted plot meeting in a fragile balance.

OUR RECOVERING LOCAL TOURISM INDUSTRY

I recently raised in Parliament the difficult times the tourism industry is experiencing in the Ballina electorate, the North Coast and, indeed, across New South Wales. The Ballina electorate experienced an extremely difficult tourist season during December/ January due to persistent rain and floods. The flood in the Richmond River in January led to a fish kill of enormous proportions, forcing the closure of the river to recreational and professional fishing. This, together with a long period of wet weather, did enormous damage to the local tourism industry. An economic impact survey undertaken by Northern Rivers Tourism estimated a loss of $18.2 million to the tourism industry in the Northern Rivers region. Ballina Shire receives, on average, 252,000 overnight visitors each year, which generates $79million worth of business

for the Shire. Byron Shire receives, on average, 653,000 overnight visitors a year generating $362million worth of business. These figures indicate the importance of the tourism industry to the local economy and the need for support and adequate promotion. A recent Tourism Business Alliance report recommended that the New South Wales Government increase its tourism marketing budget by $20 million a year above the current level with the aim of increasing New South Wales tourism’s share of the national market. I strongly support this recommendation because it will increase the number of visitors, both domestic and international, to New South Wales. This will in turn lead to an increase in investment, innovation and employment in the tourism industry, including in regional areas such as the North Coast.

Whale watching from Ballina’s Lighthouse Beach lookout

I was therefore pleased to see the Federal and State governments announce a $600,000 tourism recovery package for the North Coast following the floods. Local State Nationals members lobbied for this assistance package, as did Federal members. The local tourism industry has contributed a further $215,000. Northern Rivers Tourism has established a committee to oversee the implementation of the promotional package, which will include advertising, publicity, skills development workshops and new promotional visuals for the Northern Rivers region. A further $1.1million campaign in conjunction with Jetstar was recently announced. I am sure that I am joined by local businesses in looking forward to seeing the benefits of the new promotional campaign.

Lobbying of state government to increase library funding

Recently, I met with Richmond Tweed Regional Libraries Director, Martin Field to receive petitions lobbying for increased funding from the State Government. I tabled the petitions in Parliament when it resumed this year. I am a strong supporter of Mr Field and the petitioners and agree that the State Government’s cuts to public libraries is a disgrace with libraries now receiving on average 7% funding from the State Labor Government. Library funding has been cut consecutively over the last four years. In the past decade this State Labor Government has cut their State subsidy from 17.7% in Ballina Shire to 9.27% and from 20.54% in Byron Shire to 9.27%. Former Premier Bob Carr in 2003, prior to the State election, promised to increase library funding, but in fact it has been cut drastically. Insufficient funding means local libraries can’t replace or purchase enough new books and can only provide limited services such as internet access. Libraries play an important role in the local community, providing facilities for people who may not have access to services such as the internet. Libraries have the potential to provide a wide range of important communication and information services for the community, if given adequate funding. I have previously met with Mr Field to discuss the decreased funding and the problems created for libraries due to the State Government’s cuts. I also attended a rally held in Sydney at Parliament House late last year protesting against the funding cuts. Regional areas have a greater need for library funding due to the lack of public transport and the number of smaller communities requiring library services. In the Ballina Shire library membership is well over 50% of the population. The NSW State Government are the highest taxing State in this country and yet they are providing much lower funding for libraries than any other State in Australia. Queensland provide more than double the amount of funding to their libraries compared to NSW Government funding. The library funding cuts were part of a long list of this State Government’s funding cuts, especially to regional areas.

I recently visited Ballina High’s Trade School, which provides leading edge facilities for training in the hospitality and construction trades. The completed facilities cost over $2million to build and are now being utilised to great effect by students. Ballina High School offers two HSC pathways. It offers the academic pathway to prepare students for university as well as the trade school pathway for those who wish to undertake a trade. The hospitality school incorporates state of the art stainless steel cooking facilities with the capacity for 24 students at any one time, cold and dry storage areas, all of the necessary equipment, utensils and an outdoor eating area. The outdoor eating area provides the opportunity for the school to host their own functions and at the same time showcase the talents of their students. One of the students, Lucy Westphalan, has already attained a school based hospitality apprenticeship with the Byron Beach Hotel. Ballina High School is leading the way among the three trade schools currently operating in NSW. Ballina has more apprentices and trainees than the other two schools, and Principal, Ros Mayberry, is hopeful that these numbers will continue to increase as more students take up the opportunity of courses in the Trade School.

Ballina Electorate Woman Of The Year 2008

I was pleased to announce highly respected Bundjalung Elder, Bertha Kapeen as this year’s recipient of the Ballina Electorate Woman Of The Year for 2008. It is hard to put a measure on the enormous contribution Bertha has made to greater understanding of the Bundjalung culture and to reconciliation between aboriginal and non-aboriginal communities. Bertha has been a tireless volunteer worker in many areas including aboriginal education and health. She was one of the first aboriginal people to be offered a position with the Department of Education and subsequently went on to advise on policy for Aboriginal education. Bertha maintains a strong connection and involvement with the Fox Street Preschool and also runs a program through Southern Cross University on cultural awareness for doctors. A large number of community representatives and friends gathered at the award presentation at the Ballina RSL Club to honour Bertha. The large number of people representing a wide range of community groups who gathered to honour Bertha was testament to the wonderful work she has done over the years. She has touched the lives of so many people in a profoundly positive way. She is extremely deserving of this award. I believe it is doubly appropriate that Bertha should be our Woman of The Year in the same year that the Federal Government and the people of Australia formally said sorry to the Bertha Kapeen receiving her Ballina Electorate Woman of the Year 2008 stolen generations. Award from Don Page On behalf of the Ballina Electorate I sincerely thank Bertha for her marvellous contribution in making our community a better and more harmonious place.

State Government’s Health inquiry backflip on 10km comes to the limit for older Northern Rivers drivers welcomed

I was pleased to see that the Coalition pressure on the State Governm Labor Government had resulted in the Government’s backflip introd over the introduction of a ten kilometre radius restriction for older drivers. Labor’s flawed plan would have severely restricted the travel ti i options off seniors in the Ballina Electorate and it was strongly opposed by the National Party. I’m pleased the Government has listened to the concerns we raised on behalf of seniors across NSW. But it is disappointing Morris Iemma and Eric Roozendaal have ignored other aspects of the Coalition policy and kept mandatory driving tests for over-85s and refused to commit to improved education for drivers of all ages. Many older drivers in the Ballina electorate expressed their deep concern at the Iemma Government’s proposed changes to the licensing of older drivers, which they believe to be unfair and discriminatory. After widely consulting with the community the NSW Nationals/Liberals Coalition have developed an alternative scheme, which replaces fear with respect. The alternate NSW Coalition licensing scheme for older drivers involves: • Abolition of mandatory aged based driver tests to bring NSW into line with other States like Victoria and Queensland; • Continuation of appropriate medical testing from age 80; • Opposition to Labor’s proposed 10km radius restricted licences; • Improved education for all drivers, including senior drivers. Whether a driver is 35, 55 or 85 the only issue should be whether or not they have an ability to drive. This reflects the approach operating in Victoria based on a ‘person’s functional ability to drive’ and aims to keep people driving for as long as they can safely do so. I believe older drivers with superior safety records deserve the community’s congratulations and praise for their diligent approach to road safety.

Opposition to privatisation of power generation Privatisation of electricity generation by the NSW Iemma Labor Government has not been demonstrated to be of benefit to the people of NSW. I cannot support the privatisation of power generation because it would leave the community exposed to rapidly increasing power prices and uncertain service levels, especially in non-metropolitan areas of the State like the North Coast. The NSW Labor Government has no mandate to privatise electricity generation. Indeed, prior to the last State election Premier Iemma said his Government ‘had no plans to privatise power generation in NSW’. The great majority of people I talk to do not support the privatisation of electricity generation – regarded as an essential item for households. The failure of the NSW Labor Government to invest in its electricity generation plants is the reason why they want to privatise power generation. I am also very concerned about electricity consumers in NSW being beholden to foreign or domestic power companies whose primary goal is to maximise profits for their shareholders. The NSW Labor Government has not made a convincing case for the privatisation of power generation. Generally the community is opposed and would like the Government of the day to retain control over such an essential service critical to almost every household in the State.

After strong lobbying from my colleague, Thomas George, Member for Lismore and myself the Special Commission of Inquiry into the NSW Health System met at Lismore Base Hospital on Monday 28 April. We called for the Commission to visit the North Coast because our hospitals are in dire need of infrastructure, beds and staff. Thomas George and I have both been lobbying for many years for the completion of the Lismore Hospital Redevelopment including the cancer treatment unit for example. There is also the need for the Byron Shire Central Hospital. The State Labor Government are not only guilty of severe mismanagement of the States health system, but also grossly underfunding the system. According to the National Public Health Expenditure Report compiled by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, NSW spends less per person on health than any other State or Territory in Australia. State/Territory Public health spend per person NT $273.08 ACT $100.86 TAS $80.27 WA $75.10 SA $70.48 VIC $65.19 QLD $64.11 NSW $62.29

Ballina bypass update

The preferred contractors who are to work with the RTA on completing the Ballina bypass have been announced. There are four contractors who will form an alliance with the RTA. The four contractors are Leighton Contractors, Maunsell AECOM, Snowy Mountains Engineering Corporation and Coffey Geotechnics. The 12.4km dual carriageway is due for completion in mid-2012. Tenders for the work are expected to be let in the next few months.

Update on the Tintenbar to Ewingsdale Pacific Highway upgrade The preferred route for the Tintenbar to Ewingsdale Pacific Highway Upgrade was selected in February 2007. Following the RTA’s submission of an application for approval of the project to the Department of Planning, the Director-General of the Department of Planning has issued a list of requirements to be addressed by the RTA in an environmental assessment of the project. The proposed Highway access strategy was released by the RTA in January 2008 and is on display at the RTA’s website at www.rta.nsw.gov.au, at the Ballina RTA office or the Ballina and Byron Shire Council Chambers.

Praise for high visibility policing I commend Local Area Commander, Superintendent Bruce Lyons on his policy of targeting crime hotspots in his command. The recent high visibility saturation operation in crime hotspots is what the community is looking for to reduce anti-social behaviour and criminal activity. Places like Ballina, Lennox Head and Alstonville do have small groups of people involved in anti-social activity and the community wants to see the police active in stamping such behaviour out. High visibility policing works in reducing antisocial and criminal activity and protects the wider community.

I officially opened the Hotel Henry Rous in Ballina recently. The redeveloped hotel is an open-plan, family friendly environment and shows the ongoing confidence people have in investing in Ballina.

$44,000 in sports grants for Ballina Electorate

Ballina Touch Football Association

Don Page MP, Jan Barham – Byron Shire Mayor, Councillor Ray Kestle, Minister for Sport & Recreation, the Hon. Graham West at the announcement of the $200,000 State Budget

I welcomed the announcement in January by Minister West of the $200,000 grant under the Regional Sports Facilities Program to be made to Bangalow Sports Association. The money will be used to fund the much needed extension of sporting facilities at Bangalow. I lobbied Minister West to ensure this grant was made available. This is a very worthy project and I am extremely pleased that the Bangalow Sports Association’s application was successful. This project will enhance the range, availability and quality of sport and recreational facilities for a wide range of sporting groups including soccer, netball, rugby union, AFL, softball and athletics. The development will also include a cycleway around the perimeter of the sporting ďŹ elds. The existing playing ďŹ elds are not able to cope with the current demand for ďŹ eld sports in the Bangalow community and this project will increase participation in sport and recreation. The Bangalow Sports Association has an excellent record of developing sporting facilities on their own over the past 30 years. The Association and the general community get behind all their projects in a big way and have not generally relied on Government or Council for support. However, for this signiďŹ cant project they have successfully sought funding from both the Department of Sport and Recreation and Byron Shire Council in addition to the substantial community contribution. It has development application approval and work is ready to commence. I am keen, however, to ensure the work does not worsen the ood situation for affected Bangalow residents. I congratulate the Bangalow Sports Association on their efforts to achieve this successful funding bid.

Ballina Junior Rugby League

Recently I announced four local sporting projects had received a total of $44,000 in funding under the Department of Sport and Recreation’s 2007/08 Capital Assistance Program. The popular sports grants scheme assisted with the establishment and enhancement of facilities across a range of recreational activities. The successful recipients were: I Ballina Junior Rugby League received $15,000 for an upgrade of electrical lighting supply at Kingsford Smith Park I Mullumbimby Tennis Association received $14,000 for an upgrade of surfaces of two tennis courts at Mullumbimby Recreational Ground; I Ballina Touch Football Association received $10,000 for an upgrade of lighting at Saunders Oval; and I Le-Bar Boardriders Incorporated received $5,000 for the purchase of a trailer for sporting equipment. These grants are matched dollar for dollar by the individual sporting groups who have demonstrated their ability to ďŹ nancially contribute to their particular project. This funding will be well received by the successful applicants and keen sports people in the community.

Relay for life I was pleased to support the Byron Shire Relay For Life held at Mullumbimby on Saturday 29th April. 43 teams took part in the event to raise money for cancer research and increase awareness of prevention, treatment and support for cancer sufferers and their carers. I congratulate the organisers and all those who took part in raising over $52,000, far exceeding their goal of around $20,000. Ballina also had a very successful Relay for Life in November last year. It’s great to see so much local support for a very important cause that affects so many in the community.

Ballina Youth Council Meeting

I recently met with the Ballina Youth Council. Acting Mayor David Wright joined myself and students from Alstonville High School, Ballina High School, Emmanuel College, Southern Cross K-12 School and Xavier Catholic College at the Ballina Council Chambers for the meeting. We discussed various topics including law and order issues, transport and changes to the drivers licensing requirements for learner and provisional license holders. It was a very valuable and informative meeting and it is intended to reconvene a further meeting later in the year.

NEVER BACK DOWN Nobody would expect goofy teenage schoolboys to sit at home reading Pride and Prejudice in their hols, it’s just a shame that they are so easily exploited by the film industry. The title of this is warning enough and the story adheres rigidly to the orthodoxy of nice guy versus bully. Jake, widowed Mom and little brother Charlie move from Iowa to Florida. He has form as a gun gridiron player (he also has a terrific T-shirt with ‘Football is Everything’ on it – I wish I had one of them). Ryan is the blue-eyed psychopath at the new school. He invites Jake to his mansion for a party and all the kids arrive in their Mustangs and Corvettes, get stuck into the cocktails and frolic with drop dead gorgeous chicks, nearly all of whom are in bikinis. Jake’s eye is on Baja, who enters in slo-mo. She’s in

a low cut white dress, has long blonde hair and a pasty face (there’s no accounting for taste). Ryan challenges Jake, who of course doesn’t want to fight, and belts the living daylights out of the newcomer. But, like Paul Newman in ‘Cool Hand Luke’, he keeps getting up because ... well, see the title. Jake's pride is stung, so he joins the local back street gym, run by the charismatic Senegalese, Jean Roqua. His black mentor, played by Djimon Hounsou, everybody’s favourite noble African, pulls out all the stops in teaching Jake restraint as well as murderous martial skills. He flares his considerable nostrils, grinds his jaw and frequently breaks out in tiny beads of sweat all over his bald, goateed head. There are ‘bros’ and ‘dudes’ dropped at the rate of knots and a nod to popular psychology, with all of the

blokes – Jake, Ryan and Jean – having father issues. Jake’s was killed when he was driving drunk, Ryan’s belittles him in front of his crew and Jean’s disowned him back in Brazil when the older son was murdered in a bar. So everybody is neatly absolved of their behaviour and left free to carry on with the biff. It is just a matter of time till the showdown and when it comes, so assiduously have the numbers been written by, that it’s not impossible to enjoy the slugfest – yes, at one point Jake looks a goner – and, with the rest of the boofheads in the cinema, relish the thrashing of Ryan. Needless to say, like Mister Darcy, Jake gets the girl. John Campbell SMART PEOPLE About halfway through this excruciatingly dull movie there is a bite from a track off Led Zeppelin III. It is an acoustic number, all amber and melancholy, which doubtless was the mood intended for that moment on screen. The music was lovely and lifted me briefl y out of the doldrums, but do you think I could name the tune? The story is about Lawrence Wetherhold, a self-absorbed, disillusioned and rather boorish, widowed college professor who belatedly finds new love. He is a character altogether unworthy of sympathy. Dennis Quaid, who plays him, is asked to make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear but succeeds only in demonstrating why he has never stepped up from sterling support actor to leading man. With a livelier script he may have done better but, floundering between woebegone comedy and family drama, it is neither fish nor fowl and

SPIDERWICK CHRONICLES

struggles vainly to provoke any emotional or mirthful response – admittedly, many of the largely youthful female audience tittered at much of it, but I barely raised a smile. As Wetherhold’s daughter, Vanessa, Ellen Page reprises the role she so perfectly filled in Juno, but here the flipness and cute disdain she displayed in that film comes across as merely unpleasant and glib smart arsedness – let’s hope she’s not a onetrick pony. Thomas Hayden Church provides some drollness as Wetherhold’s adopted brother Chuck, a dope smoking ne’er do well, whose status as adoptee is harped on presumably to avoid any suggestion of incest when, unbelievably, Vanessa makes amorous overtures towards him. Sarah Jessica Parker, looking more like a straw haired scarecrow every day, is Janet, the former student who falls for the undeserving prof. I had no idea what she saw in the bloke and I reckon if you asked Ms Parker she wouldn’t either. The dourness is not helped by the picture’s depressingly dark, cold palette, while the intended jokes are as dead as doornails and usually seen coming from over the horizon – e.g., when Chuck, on the street, yells out to Wetherhold to remind him of his advice regarding what he should say to Janet. ‘Remember, I’m sorry, I love you!’ If you guessed that there’d be two black homeys in earshot who then look at each other like ‘what a poofter,’ then you got it in one. But there was a happy ending. Homeward bound, crossing Keyes Bridge, the Zepps’ song came to me. That’s the Way. John Campbell

THE DIVING BELL AND THE BUTTERFLY The Diving Bell and the Butterfly is directed by Julian Schnabel and won the Best Director Award at Cannes (2007). The film looks into the real-life experience of a man who is locked in his body, fully aware and sentient, but unable to communicate. A terrible torture, especially for a man of words. Schnabel, a painter, has applied his artistic aesthetic to making this film, pushing cinematographer Janusz Kaminski into extremes. Mathieu Amalric stars as Jean-Dominique Bauby, a successful and charismatic editor of French Elle, at the peak of his career. When he

suffers a stroke Bauby has to come to grips with his new life inside what sometimes feels like a diving bell under the sea; he begins to use the unaffected part of his humanity: his imagination, which floats like a butterfly across an interior world he has to create for himself. To communicate, he learns, painfully slowly, to blink his one remaining eye – once for ‘yes’ and twice for ‘no’ – and perseveres enough to turn his story into a book. This extraordinary true story is an inspiring reinforcement of inextinguishable inner strength and determination in the face of unimaginable adversity. Lounge Cinema

Victoria Cosford Food matched with beer? The mere notion made me feel full, not to mention dubious in the extreme. But then, I've long been a wine-girl - and, apart from a brief ing with light ales in the eighties and a foray into cider as an impoverished university student, I have rarely touched the stuff, let alone contemplated combining it with a meal. All these thoughts hurtled through my mind upon hearing that there was to be a beer lunch at Byron Bay's PaciďŹ c Dining Room, to be hosted by Dr Charles (Chuck) Hahn. After conversations with both him and head chef David Moyle, whose job it will be to match the lunch with the beers, together with a spot of research, I am now able, at least, to consider the possibilities. Chuck Hahn is the founder, director and brewmaster of a boutique brewery called the Matt Shovel Brewery, one product of which is the James Squire family of beers. These are hand-crafted quality beverages designed speciďŹ cally to suit the palate of the beer connoisseur, in an age when leaps and bounds have been made in the manufacture of brews, and with that a slowly-changing perception. Chuck was Technical Manager for Lion Breweries in Auckland, New Zealand before founding the Hahn Brewery in Sydney in the late eighties. Australia's largest microbrewery, this became part of Tooheys Brewery and Lion Nathan in 1993 and the Hahn Premium Lager and Hahn Ice brands became national brands. It has long been Chuck's main focus to encourage consumers to have an organoleptic appreciation of beers and to match them with ďŹ ne food, always mindful of moderation. In his campaign for quality over quantity, it is his personal quest to teach consumers about how to mix ďŹ ne beers with ďŹ ne foods, to change the way people look at beer and to address its image problem. He's not the only one doing this. In the States there is a brewmaster/author called Garrett Oliver who has published a tome entitled 'Matching Beer & Food at the Brewmaster's Table', who talks about 'avour hooks', that part of the beer's avour and aroma that 'matches, harmonises or accentuates the avours in your food'. In an article in a beer magazine he describes 'the sweet, luscious, complex beer wrapped around the funky, buttery cheese and the two dissolved into a perfect union', then 'the deep bready avour of doppelbock melting into the wondrous porky avour of roast suckling pig... or the spicy, pruny avours of a Belgian dubbel swooning as it caresses braised fresh bacon...' Now my curiosity is deďŹ nitely aroused! Chuck himself tells

me that any time food displays excessive spice, sour, pickled, battered, or sweet richness then it is probably wasted on wine, so that beer is the better choice. He talks about the three Cs to which other beer writers allude, namely Complement, Contrast and Cleanse (or Cut). Beer and food, he says, can do all three together. Quite simply, beer has a much wider range of avours than wine does as well as carbonation which cleanses and lifts the palate and cuts through any richness in the food. Cheese, for example, is apparently inďŹ nitely better suited to pairing with beer than with wine because it coats the tongue, thereby blunting any avour the wine might have. The familiarity most of us have with matching Asian food with beers is just the tip of the iceberg. Then there's the luxurious quality beer brings to cooking with food, when it adds a lush yeasty richness to a dish – like the peppery mussels I ate in an Angourie restaurant recently where they were simmered in stout, fresh thyme and honey. Quite sublime, especially to dunk puffy warm bread into. Strong stout, apparently, is perfect with chocolate desserts, because it is a beer made with malts that have been roasted like coffee beans, so it tastes like coffee and chocolate. Who would have thought? And meanwhile David has composed his menu for the lunch then submitted it to Chuck for the matching in the reverse of what I imagined would happen. There are seven beers to be tasted and they'll be served in wine glasses, sipped slowly and savoured alongside four courses which might include a spicy kingďŹ sh pastrami and a conďŹ t chicken with yeasted potatoes, soft egg and malted garlic. Even if this is something you only experience once, it will undeniably be a fascinating exploration into avour possibilities you might never have dreamed possible; I myself am already persuaded. The beer lunch is to be held on Friday May 2 at the PaciďŹ c Dining Room, Beach Hotel, at 12.30pm for a 1pm start. Tickets are $70 a head and may be reserved by calling 6680 7055.

nobody does it better® The first Grand Prix tournament in Baku, Azerbaijan, has exploded into controversy over the vexed issue of preventing players shaking hands on a draw when the game has barely begun. The Baku event is using the Sofia rules, which forbid draws by agreement but allow draws by stalemate and repetition of moves. The rule has been used with success in a number of high level events and has been credited with engendering a greater fighting spirit among top players generally.

Chess’s rise as a spectator sport, especially the internet audience, may in fact be the reason the problem of short draws has exploded in recent times. In the 1970s and 80s short draws were far more frequent among the top players but, apart from World Championships, there were very few spectators to complain. 17-year-old Magnus Carlsen, the top seed in the Baku event, later put the issue into perspective. ‘The Sofia rules don’t solve all the problems but they are still a good thing.’

Sports Roundup with Eve Jeffery

Giants back from the brink in thriller Crankin what’s happening surfside John Campbell In their first home fixture of the season, the Mullumbimby Giants gave their supporters plenty to worry about in Saturday night’s exciting clash with the previously unbeaten Kyogle Turkeys. Trailing 16-30, they rallied to overwhelm the visitors by 42-30. It was a contest in four quarters, with the first being all Mullum. The Blue and Golds started clinically and confidently, with tries to prop Robbie Goodacre and tigerish lock Andrew Moroney, who ran on to a deft pass from hooker Jake Wood and was unstoppable in a thirtymetre surge. They were pressing again when former Red Devil Chris King took an intercept and sprinted ninety metres to the line – it was the first time the Turkeys had visited Mullum’s twenty. Thereafter the Giants lost the plot. As Wise Kativerata, the fearsome Fijian lock, wrought havoc on the fringes of the ruck, the visitors skipped away to 18-10 before Bernard Browning burrowed over from dummy half after a typically chugging burst from Rick Oxley. Coach Damon Scott would have been relieved to get his charges into the sheds at 16-18, but a further setback awaited them. On the stroke of half time, a speculative chip scrambled the Giants’ defence. Full back Murray Brown was perfectly placed to defuse the danger, but the ball took a contrary bounce back towards the oncoming Kyogle player. He reached up and the ball flitted along his fingertips like a bird on a wire, until he was

able to haul it in and crash over. It was pretty to watch, but potentially a knife to the Giants’ heart. The telling moment came early in the second half. The Kyogle number twelve decked Moroney with an olde worlde coathanger and, encouraged by the partisans in the bleachers, the referee had no compunction in offering the offender first use of the showers. Kyogle were a man short with thirty to go, but still managed to score next. Mullum were looking down the barrel. The Giants, who had twice lost the ball on the first tackle

and twice not found touch with free kicks, pulled themselves together and, running on the last, they got winger Steve Carsons over and the revival was sparked. Further tries to Jake Francisco (2), Joel Christie and Chad Grant sealed victory. It was a flawed performance from the premiers, but their self belief prevailed. They are a team with a lot of heart – a fantastic long range cover defending tackle by Sam Roberts exemplified their spirit – and they got to the finishing post in top gear. The Turkeys, gallant in defeat, were stuffed.

The Bangalow juggernaut continued its path of destruction with a 71–3 defeat of a hapless Richmond Range. In a ruthless display of running rugby Bangalow completely dominated the men from Malanganee. Things never boded well for Richmond Range after winger Mick Busby opened the Bangalow account within seconds of the kick-off.

According to a recent SMH report: ‘Thirty years after Australia’s ďŹ rst automatic teller machine, the war on queues has opened a new front: the supermarket checkout line. Woolworths yesterday committed to installing self-service checkout terminals in 70 stores by the end of June and in all new and refurbished stores. The kiosks, operating so far in 16 stores and trialled for some months at several Big W outlets, allow customers to scan and pay for items without a cashier.’ â– â– â– â– Speaking of Woolies, Mullum Community Action Network’s call for campaign slogans resulted in the ďŹ rst prize, a $150 voucher from Santos Trading, going to to Gary Street for ‘Mullum: We Want Small Traders – Not Corporate Invaders. No Woolworths!’ The group is now looking for funding for bumper stickers, badges and T-shirts – call 6684 1415 if you can help. ■■■■‘The World Bank points out that “the grain required to ďŹ ll the tank of a sports utility vehicle with ethanol‌ could feed one person for a yearâ€?.’ And that’s not to mention the grain diverted for meat production for new consumers in Asia and Latin America.

Rod Ferguson from the Australian Academy of Tai Chi demonstrates some of the more unusual variations of the art at the Australasian Qi/Chi/Ki Arts Festival in Bangalow last Saturday. Fans were representative of the scholar in ancient China. It was always males who carried fans as only men were allowed to attend school. Ferguson demonstrated how the fan could also be used as a weapon if necessary. Ferguson’s demonstration was one of many that gave the audience insight into the diverse martial art forms, including Liu He Ba Fa (water boxing), Qigong, Wing Chun and Aikido. Origami, weaving demonstrations by our own mayor Jan Barham, meditation and music made up the two day festival.
