One perfect day for the Bay’s big swim

New $7m power substation for Ewingsdale Construction of the new $7 million Ewingsdale zone electricity substation will commence this month, ‘providing enhanced reliability of electricity supply and catering for expected growth in Byron Bay and surrounding areas,’ according to power provider Country Energy.

Regional general manager Brian Glawson said, ‘If all goes to schedule, we are looking forward to commissioning the new zone sub either late this year or early in 2009. It replaces ageing infrastructure and will supply electricity to more than 12,000 customers – increasing existing capacity by 50 per cent, enhancing reliability and underpinning security of supply for residents, businesses and local industry for many years to come.’

Construction of the new Ewingsdale zone substation is part of the greater $70 million Lismore to Mullumbimby electricity network upgrade announced last year.

Securing supply

These gents were looking forward to a brisk swim in the 20th Byron Bay Winter Whales Ocean Classic last Sunday, along with around 1500 other swimmers. Gold Coast swimmer Meagen Nay, who will be representing Australia in the 200m backstroke at the Beijing Olympic Games, took out the open women’s division of the 2.2km swim from Watego’s to Main Beach and Trent Grimsey of Brisbane won the open men’s race.

Heritage listing a plus for owners: Council According to Byron Shire Council, real estate agents in Byron Shire ‘will soon be appending the words “heritage-listed” to premium properties if the recommendations of the draft Community-Based Heritage Study are adopted’. The study is on exhibition until Friday June 13.

In a press release last week Council’s Director of Planning Development and Environment Services, Ray Darney, said that heritage listing will bring certainty for many owners and intending purchasers. ‘Council will need to consider the effect of any proposed

developments on nearby listed heritage items and conservation areas when considering development proposals,’ he said.

The study identifies 200 heritage items and eight conservation areas as having potential heritage significance at a local level.

These could be included in the new LEP currently being prepared

by Council.

Heritage listing can bring a range of benefits to owners and the community, according to Council. ‘Heritage listing has served the Shire well in the past in protecting the charm and char-

acter of the township of Bangalow, which has been listed as a conservation area since 1987.

Bangalow is one of the district’s tourist drawcards, like Cape Byron Lighthouse, which is a heritage place of world renown.’

A number of other places have been recommended for protection by way of heritage listing, including the central part of Mullumbimby, precincts in Byron Bay and Brunswick Heads and a variety of privately owned houses, shops and buildings.

In addition, there are recommendations in the heritage study

to protect the distinctive features of the district’s landscape including some trees, rock walls, dairy industry relics and other items of special significance in the Shire.

The heritage listings were identified by community representatives from all around the Shire. They worked closely with Council and its heritage adviser over a two year period.

During the public exhibition period a series of public workshops will be held throughout the Shire.

For details on these workshops or to view a copy of the Study visit www.byron.nsw.gov.au.

The upgrade, which will cover the local government areas of Lismore City, Ballina Shire and Byron Shire, is planned to take place over the next seven years and ‘will secure the region’s electricity supply for at least the next quarter of a century.

‘We are continuing to consult with landowners along the preferred powerline corridors and thank all those who have provided input and feedback into the planning process,’ Mr Glawson said.

‘On the Far North Coast, particularly the coastal area between Ocean Shores and Ballina, we are experiencing ever-increasing demand on the electricity supply network.

‘According to the NSW Department of Planning’s Far North Coast Regional Strategy document, over the next 25 years the region is expected to grow by more than 60,000 people to 289,000, which is a 26 per cent increase on the current population.

High drama in the industrial estate

for the Bay The recently formed Beautiful Byron Committee has announced that Friday May 30 will be B Day. Committee members Sevegne Newton and Paul Prior said, ‘We are declaring war on graffiti, cigarette butts, stickers and litter. We want to get every single business in town out on the footpath at 8.30am on Friday the 30th with brooms, buckets and scrubbing brushes to clean up the town.’ Beautiful Byron Day will become an annual event and organisers are hopeful that businesses will become protective of their patch of turf and we keep it clean and free of litter and grafďŹ ti.

Sevegne said, ‘The idea behind the campaign is to get businesses concerned about the footpath, the gutter, the street signs and light poles that are outside their businesses. The number of stickers and grafďŹ ti stuck to street signs and our new rubbish bins is appalling and the only way we can get them removed is if every single business in town gets out there with a scrubbing brush and removes them. And then in future we keep removing them till the vandals that shame our town know that it is unacceptable.’ Every business will be issued with a letter notifying them of the event and there will be a prize offered by the Byron Bay Cookie Co to the business with the most enthusiastic employees.

The campaign is not limited to the CBD, and committee members are hopeful the Arts & Industrial Estate, Suffolk Park, and accommodation places will all join in.

Lynette Harris played Violetta in Co-Opera’s production of Verdi’s La Traviata last Saturday May 3 at the Byron Entertainment Centre. Pre-show the audience was wowed by performances high in the rafters by Circus Arts (the indoor circus centre at the BEC) while enjoying wine and canapÊs. As described on the website www.co-opera.com.au, La Traviata is a timeless story of a father who disapproves of his son’s choice of a woman for social reasons, breaks up the relationship and then regrets it when he discovers that she really is honourable and tragically dying. Saturday’s production was sung primarily in English and set in the 1950s among the glamour of exotic parties and the excesses of wine, love and living – so not Byron Shire. Photo L W Beaumont

Muso aims to save Coorabell music Local musician Deidi Vine, pictured, is calling on locals to sign a petition to keep Coorabell Hall as a live music venue.

Woolies’ new plans anger neighbour Story & photo Lou Beaumont Woolworths submitted a Section 96 to Byron Shire Council on Monday May 5 with new plans for the proposed site on Station Street, Mullumbimby. The new plans will be on display at council and the Department of Planning from May 7 to May 30, during which time the public will be able to make their submissions to Council. Additionally, Council planning director Ray Darney said that the previously promised community consultation meeting will be held at Council chambers on Wednesday May 14 at 6pm.

As part of the new plans, Woolworths intends to move the supermarket further north along the site, with the loading bay now at the north end. According to John Reilly of Station Street, this spells disaster.

Reilly told The Echo, ‘The plans were bad enough before, but now there will be trucks and B-Doubles driving down our street in order to get to the loading bay instead of coming straight off the main street into the carpark.’ Woolworths media relations manager Luke Schepen told The Echo, ‘We reviewed the carpark layout and delivery bay location to ensure maximum safety of our customers and local residents.

This change has been proposed to separate pedestrian trafďŹ c from delivery vehicle trafďŹ c. ‘We identiďŹ ed a number of safety issues with the previous plan which would see delivery vehicles reversing where residents and customers would be walking. There are safety issues with pedestrians walking behind trucks and we see this as an important safety mesaure.’ Reilly said, ‘Two Woolies reps came to my house to explain the new plans and they said the move was made in order to ensure pedestrian safety. This makes no sense to me. Their previous plan to

build a pedestrian walkway within the carpark would have been far more sensible than their new plan that will seriously compromise pedestrian safety along our small residential street. Also, it will probably mean they will get away with not having to invest as much in road improvements. ‘The way Woolworths contacted me offering a consultation was dubious in itself.

The letter they sent, while it was dated April 15, didn’t arrive until Saturday April 19. It looked to have been hand delivered as there was no Express Post or postal markings on it at all. The deadline for taking them up on their offer of a consult was April 18, the day before any of us got the letter.’ Mr Schepen said in reply that the letters were sent by Express Post on Tuesday

April 15. ‘We have met with many residents of Station Street and would be happy to meet with any residents who did not receive the letter on time.’ From where Reilly lives, he can see most of what goes on on the proposed site. He and his wife now have a new ďŹ ve week old baby girl, but while his wife was still heavily pregnant, Reilly witnessed a contractor in a ute ‘spraying indiscriminately’ on the Woolworths site. ‘Our house stank of spray for two hours after the spraying. The man was driving along in his car, with herbicide pissing out all over the place from the window and all over mature Silky Oaks and Coolamons and weeds alike. When he saw me taking his picture he took off. ‘I asked the Woolies reps about it and they said it wasn’t

them. I also called Council who called the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency), Woolies and Mallams on my behalf with none of them claiming responsibility. I can’t help think that developing a site is a whole lot easier when as the developer you don’t have to worry about Council and EPA guidelines surrounding healthy mature trees on site.’ Woolworths confirmed their lack of involvement and told The Echo, ‘Woolworths has not engaged any contractors for spraying on the site. We encourage anyone with information to provide the details to the police and the EPA.’ A community meeting will be held at Council chambers next Wednesday May 14 at 6pm. More information can be found on Council’s website www.byron.nsw.gov.au.

Suffolk meet sends a clear message Jann Gilbert Residents from Suffolk Park joined Mayor Jan Barham, Council’s Director of Planning and Acting General Manager, Ray Darney, and Councillor Ross Tucker at last week’s meeting of the Suffolk Park Progress Association in an attempt to achieve some clarity on the issues concerning Suffolk Park and the new Shirewide LEP currently being drafted.

The Shirewide draft LEP is to go on exhibition in August/September this year and is due to be lodged with the state government in March 2009.

Suffolk Park Progress Association’s President Bernie Petry’s major concern regarding the draft LEP is timing (given Council elections, Christmas etc) and the extent of community consultation that is possible in the timeframe. There are also concerns regarding the resources available to deal with the volume of public submissions, which are expected to number around 5000.

Too little time ‘There are a lot of issues to deal with in a limited amount of time,’ says Mr Petry. ‘For the LEP to reflect community values there needs to be consultation from the beginning of the process, and I don’t believe that this has occurred.’

In response to the concerns Mr Darney stated that Council intended to use the exhibition period to conduct public meetings to gauge community responses, and that Council had allocated sufficient resources to deal with the process.

Mayor Jan Barham also assured the meeting that Council had resolved to translate the existing LEP into the new state government format, and that only certain areas needed to be looked at for new zonings ‘They’re the areas where

it’s currently zoned investigation, and that’s where Council will be guided by pre-existing Settlement Strategies and other inputs,’ says Cr Barham. ‘It sounds like there is a misunderstanding that Council’s doing a completely new LEP but my understanding is that anything new, by way of developer submissions, will be dealt with as amendments following the first part of the process for a new LEP.’ Four areas in Suffolk Park are of particular concern to residents: the land on Broken Head Road adjacent to the Suffolk Park BP; the Suffolk Park caravan park; the former South Byron treatment works; and Crosbys caravan park.

Developers of the Broken Head Road site, which is currently zoned residential, have made a submission to Council to rezone the land as commercial.

$20m-$30m), it will only be a matter of time before it moves to private ownership.

Mr Darney stated that the decision for rezoning ultimately rested with Councillors, however, he didn’t believe that selling the site was an option that would be considered.

Rumours regarding the South Byron treatment works site, which some residents fear may also be sold off for development, were at least temporarily allayed. ‘[Rezoning] will be a matter for Council to consider sometime down the track,’ said Mr Darney. ‘At this stage it will be zoned as per one of its adjacent zones, ie, environmental conservation, perhaps rural, but it won’t be upzoned.’

The recent developments at Crosbys caravan park have also caused concerns with both residents and Council.

Mr Darney said Council was ‘upset that the owner was Environmental proceeding’ however there concerns was little they could do given Mr Darney said that this the State government’s new application was under inves- LEP template. tigation and he expected a report to go to Council in Zone restrictions ‘We would like to be able the next four to six weeks.

clear definition of a caravan park that could not be upgraded to a resort. However he said Council was struggling with this given the government’s proscriptive requirements and that, in the short term, Crosbys was a compliance issue that Council was trying to resolve.

Buffer zones Other issues that came up for discussion included buffer zones (yet another item not provided for in the State government’s LEP template), which Council has addressed through zoning some of these areas as environmental protection and implementing DCPs that include buffer zones. Holiday letting appears to be an ongoing conversation but most residents are opposed to it being allowable in the LEP via development application due to grave concerns about residential properties being converted to commercial.

Overall, Mr Petry felt the meeting was a success. ‘Residents got some issues clarified, and Council got a bit more of an idea about what Suffolk Park is about and what the community want,’ said Mr Petry.

However, given that a lot of grey areas remain and time is limited for public submissions, Mr Petry urged residents to make their views known to Council to ensure that unwanted development did not go ahead unopposed.

Healthy Ageing How Old are You REALLY? Tracey Lee Morley “Dear Tracey, I am writing to thank you for all your wonderful care and attention over the last 12 months. My first VLA test was a wake up call when it showed that my cells were ageing about 10 years older than my birth age! I was shocked as most people thought I looked younger than my 57 years and I thought that I had always eaten well and been proactive with my health.

I knew I was carrying excess weight around the middle area of my body but had always been able to dress as to appear thinner.

I was becoming increasingly frustrated trying to lose weight as I was eating less and less and still putting on more weight!

This is where Tracey’s program become so revolutionary to me as I was able to feel more satisfied and yet I managed to lose 8kgs of body fat and more importantly have kept it off for over 6 months now.

Not only have I lost a lot of weight but I feel more energetic and my whole quality of life has improved. I would urge anybody who is serious about creating wellbeing for themselves to try Tracey Lee Morley’s clinic and programs – they will give you a new lease on life.

Thanks again.

Kind regards Pamela Wright” Pam Wright: ‘I lost 8kg and feel more energetic and my whole quality of life has improved.’

Jann Gilbert Every year Child Flight saves the lives of many critically ill and injured children and infants. It remains the only emergency helicopter transport service in the Southern Hemisphere dedicated solely to the retrieval of children.

The two Child Flight helicopters are fitted out as mobile intensive care units and recently reached a milestone in transporting their 6000th small passenger in over 19 years of operation.

Last year alone the service averaged 1.2 missions per day. Each mission costs between $10,000-$15,000 and while Child Flight receives Commonwealth government funding it also relies on sponsorship and fundraising to continue its vital service.

‘Running these events raises awareness for Child Flight, and it’s a good way to fundraise and look for new entrants,’ says Odyssey Coordinator Dave Read.

‘The odyssey is a great way to see the country, off the beaten track, and with the camarader ie between entrants, it’s a great way to

have fun and raise funds at the same time.’

The week-long Telstra Child Flight Autumn Car Odyssey is an annual event that is open to any two- or four-wheel drive vehicles.

Leaving Muswellbrook on Sunday morning and staying overnight in Tamworth and Tenterfield, 15 Odyssey vehicles will arrive in Byron Bay this afternoon (Tuesday) for a two-night stay.

You can show your support for Child Flight by making a donation or sponsoring an entrant. And if you’re thinking of getting a team together

for a future car odyssey (or just interested in the journey) you can catch up with participants when they dine at the Byron Bay Services Club on Tuesday night and Bo’s on Wednesday night, both at 7pm.

‘Entrants come from all walks of life,’ says Dave.

‘There are builders and architects, farmers, accountants, they’re from every type of business you could possibly think of.’

Participants raise a minimum of $1,800 for the entrance fee and whatever they raise above that is a

bonus. As Dave says, ‘Some people have already raised over $20,000 for this event.

As an organiser, I’m really grateful for the ongoing support and generosity of people that makes these events such a success.’

There are two week-long odysseys per year as well as two weekend-long events, two motorbike events and a caravan, motor home or RV event.

For further information log onto www.childflight. org.au, and for future events information contact Dave Read on 0417 607 390.

St Finbarr’s students walk for health St Finbarr’s Primary School and the North Coast Area Health Service (NCAHS) have joined forces to promote the healthy benefits of walking to school on national Walk Safely to School Day. NCAHS Health Promotion Office, Maxine Molyneux believes that exercise needs to just be a part of what we do, not something else to fit into a busy day. ‘The Walk to School program promotes the health benefits of walking and helps to create regular walking habits at an early age.’

School Principal John Wilson was impressed with, and proud of, the children’s efforts.

‘We increased the number of children walking to school

by 32%. A month ago only one in every 100 students walked to school, today one in three did, which is a great effort.’

The children were treated to a healthy breakfast of fruit, banana smoothies, Vegemite and cheese sandwiches when they arrived at school.

Kindergarten student Erin Boggis thoroughly enjoyed her walk to school from Baywood Chase with about twenty other St Finnie’s students. ‘I loved walking to school with Mummy and my school friends.’

St Finbarr’s used the Walk

Safely to School Day to launch its new ‘Active Transport’ program in conjunction with NCAHS. ‘The program hopes to increase regular walking, cycling, skateboarding or scooting to and from school,’ said Mr Wilson.

‘Active transport creates time to socialise and develop friendships, reduces traffic congestion and pollution at school and even better, should save families money on car running costs.

‘We will be monitoring our program and hope to see changes that will stay over the long-term.’

More information about the Walk Safely to School program is available at www. walk.com.au.

IMPACT builds ‘safe place’ for parents Story & photo Lou Beaumont It has been almost a year since coordinators Tiffany Aharon and Nirit Feinstein started the IMPACT group (Involved Mentors and Parents Actively Caring for Teenagers). Since its conception, the group has been growing and evolving as it fills the constant need for a safe place for parents of teenagers to share experiences, learn strategies and support each other. To support the growing group, Patt Gregory has joined as a facilitator, and Mandy Hallinan, Mullumbimby High School’s new Community Liaison Officer, has also joined the coordinator ranks.

Hallinan’s focus this year will be to build better homeschool communication and to maintain that connection between home and school life. Patt Gregory, who runs Woodwork for Women classes and facilitates many community groups, helps to organise the evening IMPACT meetings and bring people together.

Aharon says, ‘Patt gives the meetings structure which means they are a more efficient means of communicating information and more fun too.

‘Also, for some of the lower income single parents that like to attend our meetings it can be logistically difficult

for them to get to Mullum meetings. Patt is a facilitator teacher so she has been teaching parents to host their own “satellite” IMPACT meetings so parents in the north of the Shire can come together more easily.

‘Nirit and I started IMPACT as we were looking for a support group to attend ourselves. We now hope to build on the existing structure, both with new coordinators and more parents attending, so that further generations of parents of teenagers can reap the benefits of such a group. It is our hope that it is substantial enough now to become a self-sustaining group that

will continue to exist and grow long after our own teenagers have grown up.

‘With that in mind, we would like to extend an invitation to parents of teenagers who are just about to go into high school. Be prepared instead of scared and come and listen and learn.’

Feinstein adds, ‘We encourage a fostering of a closeness with our teenagers.

Tiffany and I both feel teenagers need more love rather than less and that we want to love them and keep them close to home. We also feel that if parents feel safe and informed then the kids will also feel safe.

‘Both Tiffany and I have

got so much out of this ourselves, plus there is not one parent who has walked out disappointed. It’s been great.

We have fabulous guest speakers booked in all the way through until the end of the year.’

The next IMPACT meeting will be held at 7pm on Tuesday May 13 at Mullumbimby High School with guest speaker Michael Learner, a psychologist who has extensive experience in working with teenagers.

Contact Tiffany Aharon on 0428 555 561 or Nirit Feinstein on 6680 1665 to find out more. No bookings are required for the meetings, all are welcome.

Rous Water consults on water quality of catchment Local water authority Rous Water has initiated a catchment planning process to improve the health of the catchment and its water quality before it reaches the treatment plant.

According to Anthony Acret, Catchment Assets Manager of Rous Water, ‘The best way to ensure healthy water is to protect and enhance the natural ecosystems in the catchment area which produce clean water.’ Local drinking water is now sourced not only from Rocky Creek Dam but also from the Wilsons River, just upstream from Lismore at Howards Grass. This means that the whole of the Wilsons River catchment area becomes our drinking water catchment, stretching from Upper Wilsons Creek and Upper Coopers Creek in the north to Byron Creek in the east (near Bangalow) and Pearces Creek in the south (near Mcleans Ridge). All ow into Wilsons River and westwards towards Lismore.

The ‘raw’ water from the river is piped to the Nightcap Treatment Plant near Rocky Creek Dam, where it will be treated to a high

level for use.

Rous Water has engaged environmental scientists Ecos Environmental Consulting to develop a Catchment Management Plan. It will be linked with other management plans (like the new Richmond Estuary Management Plan).

Local consultants Sustainable Futures Australia are facilitating community consultation – this aims to ďŹ nd out from people in the catchment what they value about the catchment area, the main catchment management issues and get feedback on draft management options.

Ways for people to get involved in the plan making, which continues through 2008, include access to a webpage, newsletters and e-list, information days and a catchment planning working group.

Sustainable Futures Australia is looking for more people in the local community who would like to get involved in caring for the new drinking water catchment.

Selling off the public’s assets Story & photo Jann Gilbert Around 60 people attended a meeting at the Brunswick Heads RSL last Thursday to discuss opposition to the sell-off of the electricity supply in NSW, and to look at options for public ownership. Greens MP John Kaye addressed the meeting on the privatisation proposal by the NSW government.

In the first public tussle of Labor ideologies under the Rudd government the privatisation proposal was overwhelmingly defeated, however, while the battle may have been won, John Kaye believes the war is far from over, particularly given the Iemma government’s seemingly insatiable appetite for funds.

‘Privatisation is just an environmental and social disaster waiting to happen,’ says Mr Kaye. ‘There are all the arguments about jobs, about households, about the economy but the final nail in the coffin of the respectability of privatisation has to be the environmental argument.’

Whether it’s electricity or

other services, ultimately, privatisation means that the primary motivation of the service provider is profit.

‘That’s what corporations do, and what they do well,’ says Mr Kaye. ‘But if we privatise, we create a financial barrier to doing the right thing.’

In Victoria, where electricity supply was privatised, prices increased and newly created, profit-driven electricity retailers were offering cut-price deals on airconditioners to encourage

increased power usage: not exactly conducive to greenhouse gas emissions but certainly conducive to profit.

Mr Kaye also believes that, as Australia moves towards a more resource-based economy, it’s not just privatisation that we should question but ‘we’ll also have to think more carefully about how we hand out resource licences because we’re effectively handing out something we can’t get back.

‘It’s the same argument about greenhouse. Do we

have the right to do things today that restrict what people can do in the future? We are constraining the options of future generations.’

The defeat of the privatisation proposal at the ALP conference means the door is still open to begin a discussion on how we can manage resources and services that have farreaching impacts on the economy, society and the environment.

‘We’ve lost the excuse of ignorance, which means we have to act, and we have to act now,’ says Mr Kaye. ‘If we own it, we make the decisions.’

Mr Kaye is now contemplating what Messrs Iemma and Costa’s next move may be but, regardless, he is determined to continue the fight against privatisation.

‘It’s not just about stopping privatisation, it’s about starting a conversation about what we can do with public ownership. It’s a harder path than selling it off but it’s a far more successful path for society and the environment.’

So whose party is it anyway?

Vol 22 #47

May 6, 2008

Protecting water supply Regional water authority Rous Water (www.rouswater. nsw.gov.au) is currently seeking public input to its Wilsons River Catchment Plan. You can see the catchment map on its website and also find out how to make a submission.

The Plan follows on from its ‘creation’ of the Wilsons River Source – previously known as the Lismore Source until someone probably pointed out the catchment involved people beyond Lismore. This Source involves ‘pumping water from the tidal pool on the Wilsons River at a site adjacent to Howards Grass and pumping to Nightcap Water Treatment Plant for subsequent supply to consumers through the existing water distribution infrastructure’. It’s not exactly a low energy means of supplying water but it gives you some idea of how demand has increased if such measures are necessary. In any case, Rous Water’s concern is how those who live in the river’s catchment might affect the quality of the water.

It is an important concern, and it is up to industry and individuals to be aware of what they put into any drain, stream or river.

Since the drought of 2003 we’ve been pretty lucky with our water supply – as of May 2, the Rocky Creek Dam level was at 100%. And thankfully the previous Australian government’s harebrained scheme to pipe local water to south-east Queensland to support the construction of more McMansions has disappeared from the federal agenda.

However there is no reason to be complacent and many residents have realised this, investing in rainwater tanks and water saving devices. The abuse of a water source can result in disaster, as illustrated by Catalyst’s report last week on the Murray/Darling – it seems that only when the drinking water supply of a city the size of Adelaide is in danger will governments stumble slowly into action.

Byron Shire Council is represented on the board of Rous County Council, the body allegedly in control of Rous Water, by Crs Ross Tucker and Richard Staples. We are sure they would be happy to give you more information about local water supply.

Bullying the media We’re looking after our own interests here and consequently the interests of the public’s need to know.

Recently the West Australian government laid a complaint with the police which led to a raid by 16 coppers on the offices of News Ltd’s Sunday Times. Exits at the building were blocked and staff leaving had their bags searched. The officers were trying to find out what ‘government sources’ leaked information about a $16 million ad bill for taxpayers to help get the government reelected.

This is intimidation of the crudest kind. We hope Kevin Rudd will extend his review of freedom of information laws to look at protecting the media from such wanton bullying. If governments were accountable in the first place, ‘government sources’ would not feel morally obliged to leak information to the media.

xactly 40 years ago a disgruntled ALP delegate challenged his parliamentary leader with the question: ‘Whose party is it anyway – his or ours?’

The delegate was the left’s hero Jim Cairns and the question was written for him by his then scriptwriter Phillip Adams.

The leader was of course Gough Whitlam, who was attempting the crash-throughor-crash reforms to the party’s structure and policy which finally made Labor electable after 23 years in opposition. It is now a matter of history that Whitlam won, a win for which both Cairns and Adams became belatedly grateful.

But he did so without providing a definitive answer to the question: does the ultimate control of the ALP rest with the rank and file membership or with the elected parliamentary leader? The vote against New South Wales Premier Morris Iemma’s move to privatise the state’s electricity industry at the weekend is another attempt to find out.

The rules are clear enough: the ALP conferences, state and national, are the supreme policy making bodies of the party and all members of parliament are bound by their decisions. No ifs, no buts. But rules are made to be broken and strong leaders over the years have frequently interpreted conference decisions to suit themselves.

Recognising this political reality, conferences these days usually try to restrict themselves to statements of principle and long term goals which leave the leader plenty of room to manoeuvre. But there are times when they assert themselves in an attempt to establish, as one delegate put it on Saturday, who has the biggest dick in the Labor Party.

The current stand-off is one of those occasions. If he is to crash through Iemma will have

to defy a specific direction from conference, and one with overwhelming support. The vote of 702-107 means that it was not only the union delegates opposed to the sell-off; nearly three-quarters of the branch delegates joined them.

There are times when a leader can get away with a deliberate breach of party rules; Kevin Rudd did so when he announced that he alone, and not caucus, would appoint his ministry. But Rudd was a leader newly triumphant, the saviour who had led his party back to power after nearly 12 years in the wilderness. Iemma heads an old and tired government rampant with cronyism and suspected of more serious corruption. He himself is reasonably popular, but the leader of the privatisation push, treas-

mittee headed by former Premier Barrie Unsworth – a much respected figure in the party – that it is in fact in accord with broad Labor policy. It also has the support of Rudd and the feds, not to mention the business community. But it has been decisively kyboshed by the representatives of Labor’s membership.

So: whose party is it – his or theirs? Perhaps this time we will find out.

K

evin Rudd’s reforms giving gay and lesbian partners the same rights as straights have annoyed some gay leaders by stopping short of recognising gay marriage.

This is hardly a surprise; it was his clearly stated position throughout the election campaign and one thing Rudd has

by Mungo MacCallum urer Michael Costa, personifies everything the voters dislike about the Macquarie Street mafia. He has said in so many words that he is going ahead and his critics can get fucked: he doesn’t care if they expel him.

This of course is the ultimate sanction. It has actually been used: Premier William Holman was expelled for breaching party policy by supporting conscription during World War I. Admittedly that was nearly a century ago, but the precedent is there.

Iemma, more cautious than Costa, is still hoping to avoid it. He can point to caucus endorsement of his plan, and also to the finding by a com-

been absolutely firm about is keeping his election promises.

The reforms certainly get rid of most of the practical discrimination about which the gay community has rightly complained, and for that they have been welcomed.

It is true that they have not taken the final symbolic step, but symbols are surely pretty much in the eye of the beholder. Most of the gay couples I know couldn’t care less about getting a government document to formalise their relationship as long as it is recognised by law and society; for that matter, the same applies to most of the straight couples I know.

There is more to be done

– there always is. But at least we can report quick and decisive action, which is a lot more than the last government delivered.

A

nd speaking of the last government, was anyone really surprised when Colonel Mo Davis, the former chief prosecutor at Guantanamo Bay, finally blew the whistle on the David Hicks trial last week?

Appearing as a witness before the same tribunal as he prosecuted Hicks, Davis testified that whole process of military commissions had been corrupted by politics and what he called ‘inappropriate influence’. He had never wanted to charge Hicks, he said, because the case against him was not serious enough and evidence against him had been obtained through prisoner abuse. However, the politicians had demanded a show trial and that’s what they got.

Before the trial started Davis urged Hicks and his lawyers to agree to a plea bargain to short circuit the process; eventually, of course, this is what happened and Hicks agreed to plead guilty to a dubious charge in exchange for a light sentence worked out in what was clearly a political deal out of sight of the military commission which was supposed to be trying his case. Throughout this whole disgraceful process John Howard, Alexander Downer and Phillip Ruddock assured us that everything was fair and above board and justice was being done.

History will probably treat the Howard mob more kindly than they deserve, but they should never be forgiven for abandoning their own citizens to imprisonment and abuse by a foreign power; this is a denial of the first responsibility of a government. Lest we forget.

The day the music died in the Shire ■ Dear Mandy, I fully agree with your views on playing music in local halls – I heard that the Samba Blisstas were no longer able to practise in Bangalow show grounds and were having to move to Coorabell Hall.

Exactly how many people does it need to make a noise protest to Council, do you know? If it’s only a few we should lobby Council to have this changed so that you need heaps of people before the music can be stopped. And anybody who moved into the area after the music was already established should have no grounds for complaint at all – buyer beware!

Keep up the good work.

they ‘infect our fragile community with the blight of their pervasive and powerful mediocrity’.

Such a venomous tongue from one who purports to value the ‘cultural expression of people coming together’ and social connectedness.

Buffers needed Climate change, in combination with Byron Shire Council, represents a major threat to Byron Shire’s biodiversity and ecosystems.

A recent CSIRO report ‘Implications of Climate Change for Australia’s National Reserve System’ identifies that the principal threats to biodiversity in this region are extinctions due to the high level of vegetation fragmentation, reductions in rainforests due to increases in fire frequency, and reductions in mangroves, salt marshes and coastal wetlands due to sea-level rises.

Solutions identified by CSIRO include protecting more habitat, stopping habitat fragmentation, identifying and protecting refugia (areas where vulnerable species are best protected and most likely to persist), minimising interruptions to hydrological processes and increasing habitat values adjacent to and between national parks.

To its credit, Council has displayed a willingness to provide protection to most areas of remnant native vegetation and has belatedly decided to take global warming into

account in its assessments of sea-level rises and flooding My repeated efforts to get Council to apply buffers to vegetation, national parks and streams have been ignored, with Council refusing to include buffers in the Local Environmental Plan.

This is despite the commitment of the 2004 Byron Biodiversity Conservation Strategy to introduce planning controls for buffers and the State’s 2007 Planning Guidelines requiring them.

While wildlife corridors have been identified for years, Council has continued to allow new developments to diminish links between reserves, particularly the fragile link above Suffolk Park between Broken Head and Cumbebin Swamp Nature Reserves.

Now it seems certain they will allow the most fragile link between Billinudgel Nature Reserve and Mount Jerusalem (our last major coast-hinterland link) to be effectively severed by a festival site, roads and animal proof fences.

If we are to minimise our biodiversity loses due to climate change Council must

It is one of the few local venues where music lovers can enjoy local and touring acts without having to be exposed to the staggering drunkeness of venues such as the hotels.

With similar bans imposed on Durrumbul Hall and the Mullumbimby Market drumming, vital aspects of our local culture and community are at risk of being completely controlled and suppressed by the council and the commercial interests it serves. It would be a tragedy if we let Coorabell Hall be prematurely euthanised after over two decades of supporting the local music scene by hosting hugely successful gigs by original live bands.

Suffolk Park ■ Last Tuesday I attended a nationwide discussion on reconciliation. One of the main issues that stood out was that Aboriginal people do not have safe and accessible meeting places like the Maoris do in New Zealand.

The same day I also attended a samba drumming class held weekly in Bangalow.

Samba-Blisstas have been drumming at the Moller Pavilion for the last 4½ years stop fragmenting our wildlife corridors now.The new Local Environmental Plan needs to protect wildlife corridors, encourage replanting and rehabilitation of degraded links, provide areas for coastal ecosystems to retreat into as sea-levels rise, and apply buffers to national parks, native vegetation and streams.

without any complaints.

Recently a complaint was made and the council assessed the drumming to be ‘offensive noise’ under the Protection of the Environment Act. Under the Act ‘offensive noise’ is defined as the level, nature, character, quality and the time at which it is made.

The drumming classes commence at 5pm and finish at 8pm every Tuesday. The actual drumming sound is not random, but clearly defined songs that are practised one after another within an early and reasonable time of the evening. To assess the drumming as offensive and potentially harmful is essentially a personal opinion and not objectively quantified.

I have to put up with my neighbours mowing their lawn for at least three hours each week. Is my right to peace and quiet more valued and more important than someone else’s right to express themselves musically? I don’t think so. Now that Coorabell Hall has banned music, drumming now banned in Bangalow, where are our meeting places, where are our so-called community spaces for people to come together and express themselves creatively?

this piece of land surely you realise you don’t own it. As for maintaining it, I mow the footpath outside my home, but don’t feel I have the right to deprive others of its use.

To P Morrisey, if you think walking or riding on the bush is dangerous, try doing it on our main roads. In all my 62 years around horses I’ve never known anyone to feed their horse weeds, and if you find a bit of horse dung offensive to the bush, go look at some of the rusting car bodies and other garbage people dump. Riding my horse I’ve rescued several different species of wildlife that the car driver would not even have seen much less have taken the time to help.

Driving tips Here’s a note to the cretin who drove me off Wilsons Creek Road on the night of Friday April 25.

After more than 25 years without a motor vehicle accident, I’ve now had two in the space of a year, and the circumstances are virtually identical.

First I get driven off the road by a speeding truck between Federal and Eureka.

Now I’ve been blinded by headlights sufficient to illuminate the Sydney Cricket Ground attached to a vehicle rounding a corner in the middle of Wilsons Creek Road.

The first car was written off and the second might well be.

You must have seen my lights

and you must have seen me dip them before the corner.

My evasive action, saving you, my terminally dill pickle, from a head-on smash, put all four wheels on wet grass and I might as well have been on an ice rink. Only the good offices of a coral tree (let’s all be grateful for coral trees) saved me rolling down the bank and ending up roof down in Wilsons Creek.

If I’d been going a little faster or a little slower, the tree wouldn’t have caught me and you’d probably be reading my obituary now.

Now while I’m having a little difficulty at the moment dredging up any enthusiasm for the preservation of your life, surely if you have even a modicum of intelligence (say sufficient to exceed that of pocket lint) you do have that interest at heart.

So for you, and all you other morons out there, here are some tips for driving on narrow country roads: a) Drive at a speed appropriate to the road. b) Keep left. c) Dip your headlights before you blind an oncoming driver.

And if you don’t know where the left side of your car is, don’t drive.

I’m a pensioner. I can’t afford you.

Missing sign In 1996 when my family moved to the region we purchased a property in Federal and went to great lengths to

have a sign made to name the property after our two daughters Keira and Lisa.

The sign read ‘Keirali’ and was made of a very heavy timber and the letters were painted white.

It hung proudly over our property for many years.

With the split of our family five years ago and the sale of the property, the girls and I left and bought a new home in Mullumbimby on Coolamon Scenic Drive not far from the golf course. Very proudly we took the sign with us and hung it on the roadside driveway fence, just below the Williamma sign

that has been there for ever.

Three weeks ago someone stole that sign. I wonder who would take a sign with a name that means nothing to them.

I’d like to know if anyone out there has seen my sign or would like to return it.

Farewell Snoop I just wanted to express my great sadness at the recent loss of one of Brunswick Heads’ little icons, Snoop the Boston Terrier.

Anyone who has been down to Bruns to pick up a DVD will know who I am

talking about. She was the gorgeous little dog who met you at the door or peered out at you through the window near the returns slot. Many times I spent far more time in there patting Snoop than actually picking a DVD and truth be told sometimes I went in there just to see her.

And so it was that last week after a particularly emotional appointment at the dentist, I thought I would get a DVD and say hello to Snoop to cheer myself up. When I arrived I was greeted not with Snoop but a large photo of her in the window where she used to be. It broke my heart,

and topped off my emotional day as I cried all the way home in the car.

So here’s to Snoop, a beautiful dog who will be sadly missed.

Those phonebooks I write in response to a letter to the editor published in The Echo of April 22 regarding the distribution of the Yellow and White Pages directories in the 2483 area.

I would like to take this opportunity to explain that

China’s exploitation of Tibet deplored ■ Please, Jenny Coman (Letters, April 22), don’t rehash other’s unresearched opinions on Tibet. Read its history. Read what is happening there now regarding cultural genocide, human rights abuses etc, and I guarantee you will still not get the full picture. The Chinese propaganda machine makes no apologies about its debasement of truth. They actually tell the masses it is for their own good. Other ‘authorities’ pick up these snippets and think they’re fact.

I spent twenty months in Tibet. Education and employment for a Tibetan in their own country is abysmal. The Chinese push for a dominating Han population is killing their culture.

In Tibet you will get jailed for mentioning the word ‘Dalai Lama’. In Drapchi Prison, Lhasa, the Public Security Bureau violates and torture monks, nuns and everyday folk with all forms of barbaric hi-tech implements.

For nine months I taught English to Red Cross and MSF employees. I was told

from another NGO that I was under surveillance. I had to be very careful who I talked to, how loud I talked, for their sake. Three Tibetans who I talked to were interrogated and their homes ransacked. I never spoke politics with any of them.

People’s Liberation Army?!

Anyone with a semblance of intelligence knows that Tibet has been an independent state since their history began. They had protectorship relations with Mongolia, China, Manchurian run China, even Britain; even Russia tried to get in on the act; just as Australia has protectorship relations with the United States. Do we like the US? Do we think we are Americans?

Only a century ago, after Britain tried to extend their colonialist might, did China realise Tibet might be a strategic prize up for grabs. It was at this time that Tibet said sorry, thank you, but no thank you, we will now be officially independent, and ousted their Sino government reps. Two world wars went by and China invaded

Tibet in the 50s and said it’s ours, citing arguments like Tibet’s first king, King Songsten Gampo, had a Chinese wife. They fail to mention he also had a Nepalese wife and three Tibetan wives.

Yes, I agree there are people full of pretensions as to Tibet being a Shangri-La of Buddhist peace. I have seen violence on the streets. I have seen domestic violence.

Yet I have seen no less in Australia. Yes, they had a feudal society, but do you seriously believe the propaganda you regurgitated in your letter. Do you really think Tibet would have remained the same if China hadn’t invaded?

The cultural degradation feared in the Woolworths debate is not dissimilar to the cultural genocide of Tibet. The latter is obviously risking torture and death if you mention it in Tibet.

Craig Hearps

Mullumbimby ■ With so much media attention focused on the upcoming Beijing Olympics in August 08, the

Tibetan struggle against the brutal occupation by the Chinese Stalinist totalitarian regime is timely and deserving – particularly now as we witness the rising tide of Chinese nationalism worldwide.

Tibetan people deserve the right to self-determination to determine their future from Chinese rule, in order to develop any meaningful democracy and independence should they decide it.

Free Tibet!

Another under-reported issue is the Chinese construction workers at the Beijing Olympic sites – 10 hour plus working days, no weekends off, some not getting paid until the end of the year or not at all for $US5 per day!

While China marches relentlessly further on with ‘economic growth’ of around 10% per year, so has the Chinese working class grown enormously – in 2006 national workforce was 746 million workers.

China today is analogous to the pre-unionised period in Western industrialised

countries where workers were routinely exploited by industrialists and factory owners – www.clb.org.hk/en/ fils/File/research_report/ Wo r k e r _ M o v e m e n t _ Report_final.pdf Today we must expose the Chinese state capitalist regime for what it is: a brutal imperialist power whose ferocity against its colonial subjects is matched only by its hyper exploitation of its workers.

Boyd Kellner

Newrybar ■ The Olympic torch relay is one of the less sinister practices the rest of the world has adopted from the Nazis. Nevertheless, such facts should be remembered by those who believe the modern Olympic Games, saturated with nationalism, commercialism, and undetectable drugs, still have something to do with the Olympic spirit of the ancient Greeks.

The idea of the torch relay was first approved and put into practice by Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goeb-

bels, who could see the light, or rather the propaganda value, in staging such an event, as have all host countries since.

The same goes for the tradition of the opening ceremony, a disgusting exercise by the host countries in unrestrained self-adulation and shameless hypocrisy, since 1936.

I would not be surprised if during the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics we were presented with a performance by a group of dancing Tibetan monks displaying the wonders of Tibetan culture to a young Han Chinese girl who looks on with a benevolent smile on her face.

Seeing this, the millions of viewers around the world, having grown up on a steady diet of bread and plenty of circus, will reach for another tissue to wipe their teary eyes, overcome with the realisation that, after all, everything is just fine in Tibet, in China, in fact the whole world.

More proof needed on Council’s developer stance ■In last week’s Echo, Jan Barham expressed her objections to the State’s ‘prodeveloper laws’, promoted

by NSW Planning Minister Frank Sartor, by stating: ‘The people of New South Wales deserve the right to have a say over local developments, and these laws are stripping away those rights.’ It’s ironic, since Greens Mayor Barham and Byron Council have consistently favoured the rights of the developers over the rights of the community in the matter of the proposed developments for Main Arm. Main Arm was speciďŹ cally left out of the 1988 Draft Byron Rural Settlement Strategy (BRSS), as it failed almost every single environmental, social, and economic

criteria. Main Arm is too far from town on dangerous, substandard roads, has excessive slopes, is heavily forested, is ood prone, has prime Class 3 farmlands, and is surrounded by high ecological value vegetation and wildlife corridors.

But somehow, without any community consultation, a mysterious change in locations was made when the BRSS was ďŹ nalised, and Main Arm was ‘in the strategy’.

At the rezoning stage in 2006, the community responded with the facts and ďŹ gures in over 300 objections to Council, detailing how the proposed developments contravened BRSS and State planning guidelines. Yet only two councillors (Lazarus and Staples)

listened, and voted against Amendment No. 128, which led to these two DAs for 50 houses and a shopping plaza, which could destroy the rural character, amenity and heritage of Main Arm. Frank Sartor has recently come under ďŹ re in the media for approving inappropriate subdivisions far from towns, one of which would ‘overwhelm the heritage’ of a ‘tiny village’. (SMH, 12/04/08) It’s ironic because, in a press release after he approved Amendment No. 128, Sartor urged Byron Council to locate future rural settlement in ‘appropriate locations’.

We hope that Council staff assessing these DAs will carefully consider the facts, which clearly show that Main Arm is inappropriate

Sensis works with its distribution partners to deliver directories to nearly every household and business throughout Australia.This is a huge logistical exercise and our distributors follow rigorous quality control processes to ensure accurate distribution.

Sensis works hard to ensure contractors charged with the responsibility for delivering the directories exercise best practice in all aspects of the job. Diligent and respectful delivery of the directories is a mandatory requirement for all our distribution partners and contractors.

As a matter of priority we are looking into the speciďŹ c situation bought to our attention by Ms Petroff and in the meantime we ask anyone with any queries about the distribution of theYellow and White directories to contact us on 1800 810 211.

Community groups are welcome and encouraged to contact Sensis on the above number should they wish to play a role in the distribution of the Yellow and White Pages directories within their area.

Gayle Russell

Coordinator, Australians for Animals

Russell Lean’s ‘Carbon footprints’ letter of April 29 raises some really valid points in reply to my letter and on most of what he says I agree totally. My garden also provides me with lots of abundant produce as do my chooks. In fact, I consistently encourage others to be more resourceful and resilient to prepare for the future shocks as oil supplies dwindle and Climate Change continues on its march.

And I agree with Russell on the wastage of standby power in many homes and businesses. G Magazine calls standby power ‘a sleeping giant’ that annually adds up to around 10% of domestic power bills and in businesses, up to 30%. That’s massive.

I have no standbys on at home whatsoever. In fact in my household we use around 4-5 kilowatts of power per day, maybe a quarter of most others. So, if we all turned those devices fully off – at the wall – when no longer being used, maybe we could stop the proposed new coal-ďŹ red power plant to be built in David Lawrence NSW.

and Councillors in their endeavour to call for a parliamentary inquiry into prodeveloper laws and any changes to them. I’m sure these same groups would support a freeze on implementation of any changes to these laws until an inquiry is held.

Indeed we do have that right and have voiced our opinions on many occasions regarding Council’s complicity with the State’s push towards developer controlled developments. However our voices have been ignored, and inappropriate developments have been allowed to go ahead.

Now, back to the Byron Bay bypass debate ■ Bill Mackay’s letter cannot go unchallenged as it represents a stultifying logic that is disastrous for our town and towns like it. That logic at its core goes something like this: further social/economic/ population growth is bad, more people, more development, more cars and more pollution, therefore any activity that directly or indirectly supports that growth is bad.

A bypass for Byron is bad because it will encourage more cars, fixing the roads is bad because it will encourage driving, more parking in the town is bad because it will support further business, implementing proper drainage in the town is bad as it will allow further development, cleaning and beautifying the streets is bad because it will encourage the tourists. Many of us understand this rationale but some cannot step outside this logic and see it for its disastrous consequences. Indeed lateral thinking is called for to diag-

nose the problem inherent in the above statement. We may need to solve some problems not by removing the cause but by designing the way forward even if the cause remains in place (Edward de Bono).

The cause is life itself. A fundamental indicator of life is growth and since the beginning of civilisations we have been designing our way forward to cope with this messy life in a hopefully sensible and quality fashion. Short-term solutions are an essential tool to release pressure, to manage the chaos. Medium term solutions are often visionary, hopefully your vision. Longterm solutions are often totalitarian and deluded.

A short-term solution was the building of your road, Bill, from Suffolk Park to Byron, a visionary solution might be to rip up that road and stop the ever increasing traffic entering the town from the south. No, thankfully, common sense would prevail and the dozers detoured.

Turn into Tandys Lane (next to Uncle Toms, Mullum) We’re 800m on the left.

The bypass for Byron Bay is way overdue. The traffic problems are obvious; they are environmentally damaging and seriously impacting on quality of life. Serious political will is needed, supported by a clear design and belief in its purpose to fix the situation.

Bill Mackay’s ideology undermines the way forward.

Construction of a bypass in Byron Bay is not the beginning of the end; it is a localised response to a messy, wasteful and polluting situation. A bypass is an opportunity to improve the current circumstances; it would improve quality of life and support sustainable economy. The big picture issues – pollution, climate change, cars, population increase, tourism, terrorism, capitalism etc – remain. Seeking solutions in theory, in invention, in scientific enquiry, in divine enlightenment are all essential, but at the grass roots level we pull our heads in, look around us and fix the situation.We clean up our act and prepare for a new day, in the meantime demand ethanol blended fuels in Byron Bay immediately!

Paul Anthony Jones

Byron Bay ■ Richard McLachlan, you request my stance on a Byron Bay bypass – I am opposed.

Addressing Byron Bay’s traffic issues involves town and social planning, as well as built infrastructure solutions.

In regard to infrastructure, the Jonson Street roundabout is your main traffic flow issue.

I’ll be standing for the next term of Council, and if the community supports and elects me then I will pursue, in the shorter term: s OPENING THE GATES ON THE existing second rail crossing to create an alternate access; s GETTING TOWN DESTINATION traffic into perimeter carparks; and s SPREADING VISITOR BEACH traffic destinations to the coming upgraded Bayshore Drive and new Belongil beachfront reserves.

Longer term: s CONSIDER AN ADDITIONAL beachfront access through the First Sun Caravan Park/ Lawson Street north carpark; and s A MULTISTOREY CARPARK ON the Lawson Street north site with access to grab the Ewingsdale Road traffic before it hits town.

Whatever infrastructure we have, it is the cars that create traffic. Petrol prices and commitments by all levels of government to greenhouse gas reduction targets will influence increased support for transport by cycleways. And as an obvious part of the greenhouse solution, I believe, it will bring the train back. Our pattern of development will also play a big part in traffic issues.

Council has commissioned another expensive traffic study. I am concerned that it is expected to give only infrastructure solutions, and concerned that the commitment to a study is being used by Council to support inserting increased development into the new LEP. Although road infrastructure will play a part, no town or city has been able to purely build traffic solutions. Mayor Ken Livingston

Peñalosa was able to fund a new bus network by increasing petrol tax. In Australia, there is a political imperative to reduce petrol costs and the road lobby ensures that any petrol tax is spent on improved roads. Both moves increase demand, driving prices higher again.

There’s no easy solution.

LlVlNG TAO – Byron Bay HEALTH & MARTIAL ARTS CENTRE 4!) #() s #() +5.' s (!0+)$/ ‘Training for a peaceful world’ BYRON LIVING TAO COMES OF AGE WITH 21 YEARS OF DEDICATED SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY

A VERY BIG WELCOME TO ALL NEW STUDENTS INTERESTED IN GAINING THE BENEFITS OF A WARRIOR TRADITION!

HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY Byron Living Tao is Byron Bay’s oldest continually operating full-time Health and Martial Arts Centre. This thriving centre on Jonson Street remains a landmark in the Old Norco Building (next door to Mitre 10). This year Byron Living Tao is celebrating its 21st birthday and its newly expanded range of courses.

The Centre was founded in 1986 by Shirsha Marie who recognised the need for a traditionally based ‘Dojang’. Her vision was of a place where the local community could train in warrior traditions to benefit their health, fitness and well-being. There are now many students participating. They come from a broad cross-section of the community and include a wide range of ages and a good gender balance. All benefit from a beautiful Dojang and expert tuition from its team of Instructors.

In the beginning Hapkido was the main focus. Today the Centre has expanded to become Byron Living Tao and offers a broad range of health and martial arts modalities, including Tai Chi, Chi Kung, Hapkido and Hapkiyusul Practice Groups. These arts provide physical training, personal development and a path of meditation compatible with all spiritual traditions.

Internal focus and energy cultivation are defining features of the training provided at Byron Living Tao. This inner work is inspirational to the activities of the Centre and provides a basis for studying martial arts for health and meditation, rather than fighting.

Shirsha frequently visits her teachers in Korea and Europe. She has lived in Korea, and it was there that she began to refine her understanding of the development and application of ‘Ki’ energy.

Her training has involved much attention to the Tanjien energy centres, and the physical movement generated around these fundamental bio-energetic phenomena.

In the last five years Shirsha has been training in the martial art of Hapkiyusul, a traditional form of Hapkido. This art complements the Centre’s unique range of health and martial arts, and the dynamic approach to meditation which underpins all of its programs.

HAPKIDO DYNAMIC MARTIAL ART OF CO-ORDINATED POWER INTRODUCTORY COURSE Practical, effective self-defence Fitness, flexibility and core strength Clarity, focus and self-confidence Harmony with self and others

Hapkido students and assistant instructors enjoying the thrill of a co-ordinated power

HAPKIDO Hapkido is a dynamic Korean martial art that integrates all of the major technical areas found in martial arts: strikes, kicks, avoiding moves, blocks, holds, jointlocks, pressure-point controls, sweeps, throws and weapons. It also incorporates breathing techniques, ‘ki’ energy development and meditation. As well as being a highly effective form of self-defence, regular practice will achieve fitness and flexibility, balance and co-ordination, clarity, focus and self-confidence.

The philosophy of Hapkido draws from Asian Spiritual Wisdom, including the Buddhist values of non-violence and respect for all life. The long-term aim of training is the cultivation of positive attributes, such as: respect, patience, courage, integrity, honouring commitments, taking responsibility for one’s actions and harmony with others.

Classes for adults, teenagers and children are available (see timetable). An introductory course in Hapkido starts on May 21 (see ad top right).

TAI CHI

Tai Chi has become well known for its many health benefits and is often prescribed by medical practitioners as complementary health care. Tai Chi is particularly renowned for its therapeutic effects on the spine and for promotion of good circulation and vitality.

This school teaches the traditional training methods of the Yang Style in the lineage of Cheng Man-Ch’ing. An introductory course in Tai Chi starts on May 19 (see ad below).

CHI KUNG This ancient Chinese self-healing practice cultivates vital life energy for radiant health and well-being. Gentle flowing exercises promote the smooth circulation of energy in the meridians and organs. These enjoyable ‘forms’ provide an internal massage that relaxes and energises the whole body. Chi Kung benefits the health of the organs, joints and bones, and the digestive system, nervous system and immune system. It improves posture, deepens breathing, builds inner strength, increases flexibility and ease of movement, calms the mind and improves all functions of the body.

Chi Kung also offers a very good introduction to the meditative art of Tai Chi. Byron Bay Daily Classes, Residential Health Retreats, and Mullumbimby Courses and are on offer (see ads and timetable).

Sportsfields for the north ■ Referring to Michael Mc Donald’s article (Echo, April 29): it must be election time, with strategist’s sudden realisation of the rather very large voter base in Ocean Shores!

I do urge Ocean Shores residents to use the momentum and make themselves heard, plus choose wisely when the voting spectacle finally arrives.

Regarding sports fields: I am sure that Ocean Shores will be supportive of any meaningful solutions (including part solutions) that bring sporting facilities to Ocean Shores. Ultimately however, assessment will be made on the full range of facilities created at Ocean Shores, and that has to stack up in line with Council’s legal requirements for facili-

ties in Ocean Shores. To export these local facilities (under the Northern Shire Sporting Field Strategy) as far away as Mullumbimby is totally unacceptable. Sports fields there count as Mullumbimby’s, not Ocean Shores’!

One however shall never forget the shameful betrayal of the local community (and democracy) created by the Lot 107 saga. This disaster deserves strong lasting condemnation, and just as strong compensatory measures.

Regarding the Roundhouse saga: The community this time will have a voice safeguarding their interests.

So whatever the final solution may be, make sure it is fair to, and in consultation with, the broader community of Ocean Shores!

The current Council majority deserves to be redcarded as it has failed Ocean Shores (and broader Byron Shire) miserably on just about all fronts.

We need a strong proactive can-do team to lead Byron Shire.

The basis of the government’s decision to authorise the closure of the CDMA network is a report completed by the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) and presented to the Communications Minister, Senator Conroy in January this year. Here are some aspects of the report that Telstra will not talk about.

1. The ACMA report canvasses the legal argument that allowed the meaning of ‘equivalent’ to be redefined as ‘virtually the same’ in Chapter three on page 10.

2. To map coverage of the two networks, ACMA conducted a series of ‘drive’ tests around Australia using computer equipment and external aerials. No coverage tests were conducted using mobile phones in handheld mode.

3. None of the drive tests occurred in our region, the closest being at St George in Queensland.

4. Based on the drive tests, the ACMA states ‘actual coverage of Next G is not identical or better than CDMA coverage in all areas from all base stations’ [and] ‘it is likely to be inferior to CDMA coverage in some places from some base stations’ (page 7).

However, based on the above definition of ‘equivalent’ and without further testing the ACMA report was able to draw the conclusion that the Next G is ‘equivalent or better’ (page 8). The report states that ‘reasonable minds may differ in determining whether a given area of inferior actual coverage is significant or material’ (page 8).

5. The ACMA report takes the view that differences in coverage between the networks of up to 3km are ‘immaterial’ (page 4). In

Those with elephantine memories will recall that Bob got into council on Green preferences (oh dear) but it was not long before he defected to the Tucker camp where he has become a loyal factional warrior – even accompanying Ross to numerous Byron United meetings (true grit) where he probably hopes for a new constituency.

As the Courier found it necessary to inform its readers that Bob was a Byron Shire councillor after he has completed two terms it seems likely he is clutching at electoral straws.

The gall of it all From where I am sitting I can see three Crown Galls on Eucalyptus trees. Recently the writer concluded that the harmless Agrobacterium that causes Crown Gall may well cause human extinction.

The writer didn’t know whether to faint or cry when he discovered last week that 100 percent of people infected with the new, terrifying and contagious Morgellon’s Disease tested positive for the presence of Agrobacterium in their skin, while none of the people without Morgellon’s disease, tested positive for Agrobacterium. The writer would describe that obscure finding as the biggest disaster in human history.

Agrobacterium has the unusual characteristic of being able to transfer foreign DNA or genetic material into the DNA of its host and Agrobacterium can also transfer foreign DNA into the

FEHVA support I appreciate the support of Mayor Jan Barham and acting BSC general manager Ray Darney for taking to heart the notion of improving our community aesthetics by participating in the FEHVA Visual Arts Festival sessions that outline this area – so much so that they have moved in a council meeting to establish annual awards to recognise outstanding achievements in the areas of residential dwellings, commercial building, heritage and environmental management that contribute to the enhancement of Byron Shire.

As a member of this community who dearly wants to see our villages develop in the best possible way I encourage others to engage and encourage council members in a constructive way to support our efforts to improve our urban environment.

Ocean Shores ■ Thanks to Michael McDonald for the article ‘Ocean Shores under Council spotlight’. Yes, looming Council elections could lead to a cynical view by Ocean Shores residents. However, to be fair, credit must go to Mayor Jan Barham because at a community forum in Bangalow in 2006, she suggested that I meet with Leslie Kirk, President OS netball, and put in a joint

submission for netball/basketball courts at Waterlily Park. This was done on 2/11/06. With help from Councillor Jan Mangleson the concept has been progressing through Council.

This project and the Skateboard/BMX bike park at South Golden Beach and any mention of Ocean Shores Basketball, the largest sports club in OS, were inadvertently left out of papers presented to Council on Northern Shire Sporting Field Strategy (being corrected).

OS residents have a lingering anger at lack of sportsfields. Votes? Yes, an immediate start on work at Waterlily Park could soften the anger.

Ocean Shores other words, the Next G network can have up to 3km less coverage than CDMA, but still be considered to be equivalent. It may be the case that in outback areas a distance of 3km will be considered marginal, but in our shire this is a significant difference. For some home, work, school, emergency services etc may all be located within a few kilometres of each other and if that happens to be in a fringe coverage area, then some mobile users could find that Next G will provide a dramatically reduced mobile service.

6. Handset choice will make a big difference to coverage, but the flawed mapping of coverage means that even the best handset may not give the consumer equivalence as defined by the consumer on a ‘like to like’ basis.

If you want to know which handsets performed best in the ‘handset sensitivity’ tests conducted by ACMA (chapter 7), you won’t find out by reading the ACMA report as most of the critical information has been blacked on the basis that it is commercial in confidence.

Don’t expect Telstra to discuss the detail of the report beyond sticking to their ‘equivalent’ mantra. The report is available for download at www.dbcde.gov.au/__ data/assets/pdf_ file/0019/80704/ CDMA-Next_G_Coverage_ Equivalence.pdf Basil Cameron

Under the spell of the nautilus Story & photo Mary Gardner Walking under the influence of this autumn full moon, I spotted the nautilus shell, lying in the sand. It woke in me a very old hunger. That creature had cast its spell on me as a child. It is an ancient kind of squid, with an external shell, like the majority of creatures who dominated the seas some 500 million years ago. The Nautiloidea are the only survivors of this form from that era. Imagine getting close to one in these latter days!

When a nautilus hatches, it is a three centimetre miniature of its adult form. As it grows, it moves into larger chambers of very hard shell which it builds. It seals off each older section with a thin wall and a small hole.

The entire spiral remains cunningly united by means of the holes which are used by the siphuncle. This is a long tubular extension of the creature’s body which runs through all the holes, right back to the infant chamber.

No one knows how long it takes to grow from one chamber to the next. These chambers hold a mix of water and gas. They are regulated by the creature as it rises each night from depths of almost 500 metres to 90 metres or less. Under cover of dark, it hunts small shrimps.

I picked up this shell. The nautilus itself was long dead.

The edges broken. Inside sea lice swarmed a moribund oyster. True to the Greek of its name (which means sailor) the shell seems to have roamed the sea for likely years. Attached were gooseneck barnacles, of the kind picked up in the driftlines of the open ocean.

I chipped away the oyster

shell and uncovered the siphon hole. I cleared away the barnacles. In my mind’s eye, I watched again the live creature. I first saw it in the aquaria in Hawaii. This, in the 1980s, was one of the first places in the world where captives were safely kept and displayed. The keepers learned to set the tank water temperature to 18 degrees centigrade.

Although native to the Indo Pacific tropics, the deepwater nautilus likes cold.

The animal, about 20 centimetres in size, swims with its frill of 70-90 tentacles at one end. At the other end is the bouyant shell. It sucks in water under its mantleand then expels it through the siphon amid the tentacles.

Its silent billowy ways entrance me.

In the 1990s, aquarium staff have seen their male nautilus deliver a packet of

sperm to the inside of the female. Later still, she carefully cemented eight to twelve very large eggs to a surface. These took about nine months to hatch. Sadly, the little ones did not live for long.

Nowadays, the skill to keep live nautilus is a specialty for major aquariums. Meanwhile the fad for collecting their dead shells is strong. This means tens of thousands of the animals are killed each year for this market. Although some countries ban this harvest and export, the fishing continues.

The fad, I guess, goes back to the early days of western natural history about 300 years ago. To be a patron of science, you had to display prize specimens.

Cabinetmakers made special furniture for this. To be a hero, you had to travel to the ends of the earth and

)NmATION HIT AND MYTH

Fast Buck$ My recent comments about inflation and its causes turn out not as deviant as I thought; indeed there are even terms for those upward price pressures, caused not by excessive demand, but by the supply side of the equation: a ‘cost-push’ and ‘imported’ inflation. That is, prices inevitably go up if the costs of doing business go up due to rising oil, mineral or grain prices – most of them due to international market changes beyond the control of governments.

This split among the experts makes it all the more remarkable that governments and the Reserve Bank continue to push the line that inflation is a ‘bad’ thing requiring crude and unpopular measures that address only the demand side – and which probably actually damage the economy by precipitating bankruptcies. Of course ‘remarkable’ is not the right word when most governments are shit-scared of the opinion polls and the barbs of the opposition; they are loath to provide actual leadership and usually act only when public opinion is already well ahead of them.

Providing leadership requires ideas, ideals and passion, and so far there is little evidence of these in Rudd and those around him. Looking at Rudd and particularly Wayne Swann I get the distinct feeling that they can’t believe anyone as personality-free as them actually got elected. This would explain the recent 2020 crapfest, it was a des■ Mary Gardner is a writer, perate measure to generate biologist and tutor. See more new ideas – which it significantly failed to do. at www.mgardner.info. collect these. Buller shot the last huia birds in New Zealand to send them back to a British collector. To be a scholar, you needed a specialised collection. Darwin’s was of barnacles.

There seems to always to be a story not only of the species but also of the particular object itself and its holder. The journey is not only over geography but through intellect and myth, accompanying our shamans.

The oceanic depths are our own unconscious, ancestry, history, death. To go beyond and to fetch back.

What of all this great effort is of true value? Today, to hold the natural object as a result of hunting is considered low. To purchase it is very dubious too. Although little is known for sure, the consensus is that the nautilus, unlike other squid who only live a year, has a lifespan of up to twenty years. Sexually mature at five, it reproduces so very slowly. Populations could be wiped out before we even know they are threatened. A leading aquarium like Monterey refuses to stock the shells in their gift store.

So my shell is a battered drifter, far from its coral home. It’s disfigured. It’s a small anecdote of my time here as our subtropic season changed. When the moon rose and lit a path to forever over the water. I heard an Aboriginal story that the skeleton of each moon on the wane falls into the sea to change into a nautilus shell.

Values shift again. What is it truly that I hold in my hand now?

It would also explain Rudd’s popularity in China not in terms of his being able to speak Mandarin, but in terms of his bespectacled anonymity and an ingrained unwillingness to move before the other guy does. Truly a man of the masses.

Anyway here are a couple of suggestions re inflation that would really freak Labor out: 1) Change inflation measuring so that we can identify particular areas of consumption where inflation may be concentrated; the averaged figure currently provided to the public seems quite dishonest.

2) Having identified specific areas of inflation, determine whether the price increases are due to costpush or to excessive demand.

3) If demand is excessive for particular types of products then temporarily increase the GST on those items until prices stabilise.

(There is debate on whether the GST should be increased, but I’ve seen no discussion of having differential rates, eg, 20% for luxury goods. You’d probably be hounded out of office as a ‘socialist’, like Mr Alkitiri in Timor!).

You don’t have to be a genius to see that raising interest rates is a very crude device and that the field of economics is closer to a religion than a science.

And those who don’t understand my recent ‘digression’ into economics should consider that politics is the process by which the cake is divided up between competing interest groups.

The largest and most important part of that cake usually consists of dollars.

From sound designer to naturopath Gareth Vanderhope has gone from winning British Academy awards for his sound design work on films like Moulin Rouge and Shine to winning university awards for naturopathy in a few short years. The Brunswick Heads man, who is graduating from Southern Cross University with a swag of awards, has just completed a Bachelor of Naturopathy. In doing so he has also won awards for having the highest grade point average in his cohort, and for the most outstanding clinical and nutritional achievements.

Overwhelmed by his accolades Gareth insisted: ‘I think everyone who gets through this degree deserves an award.’

Gareth said he has always had dual passions – working with sound and natural medicine. ‘As a child I was fascinated by the old herbal and health books that lined my mum’s bookshelves. I couldn’t get enough of them and set about reading every

book I could lay my hands on,’ he said.

‘At the same time I had a great passion for music, film and sound recordings, particularly sounds of nature.

After I finished year 12 I didn’t feel I had enough life experience to work in health,

whereas working in the film industry as a sound designer felt completely right.’

After 12 years in the industry Gareth had reached the pinnacle of his career having designed sound on over 38 feature films including Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo and

From London to Lhasa

Juliet, Babe 1 and II, Shine, Moulin Rouge, Dark City and Lorenzo’s Oil. ‘I felt like I had achieved everything I wanted,’ he said.

To keep going just didn’t make sense to me. It was a spiritual decision really – I needed to explore my passion for health and I wanted to get a university education.

A friend told me about the Bachelor of Naturopathy degree at Southern Cross University; I looked up the website and was jumping with excitement about the idea. Before I knew it my whole life had changed and I loved it.’

Gareth has already found a position as a naturopath at the North Coast Medical Centre in Byron Bay, a clinic where registered doctors, alternative health practitioners and allied health professionals work collaboratively.

He has also gained casual employment as a clinical trials research assistant at SCU’s NatMed Research centre.

ing organisms in the soil all play an important role in maintaining biodiversity, the essential tapestry of life.

‘We are only just beginning to understand soil biology,’ says Justine Cox, soil scientist with the NSW Department of Primary Industries at Alstonville. ‘There’s a huge variety of organisms living in the soil and the litter on the surface.

‘Their job is essentially to break down all the organic material that falls on the ground, and return it to the soil.

‘If they didn’t do this we would quickly be buried in dead leaves, dead wood and dead animals.

‘They shred organic material and break it into smaller and smaller pieces; eventually bacteria break microscopic particles into chemical elements which are then

available to plants to take up through their roots for food.

‘And all this activity creates soil, and builds up our soil fertility.

‘There is much more diversity in life in the soil than above the soil, and we need that diversity to keep a balance so that particular organisms do not get out of control.’

Justine will be explaining the essential role of soil organisms at the Brunswick Valley Nature Festival at the Shearwater Steiner School at Mullumbimby on Sunday June 1.

The theme of the festival, a world Environment Day event, is ‘conserving biodiversity’.

For more information about the festival go to www. brunswickvalleylandcare. org.au.

Eager adventurers Krista Bernard, from the Byron Shire, and her partner, Daniel Coward, will leave the UK on May 10 for an aweinspiring journey by bicycle from London to Lhasa.

Their project, RideHimalaya, will be raising money for Mullumbimby-based Rainforest Rescue, an organisation dedicated to protecting the world’s rainforests.

Rainforest Rescue is committed to a number of projects aimed at protection and restoration, including buyup projects to prevent development and deforestation, in aid of the fight against climate change.

Their expedition will take them on a route through Europe via Belgium, Germany, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria. From there, the couple will rest in Turkey for the winter before cycling on to Georgia and Azerbaijan in spring 2009.

After crossing the Caspian Sea into Central Asia, they will cycle through the deserts of Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan, where they are expecting scorching summer temperatures of 50ºC. Conversely, the 5000 metre passes in neighbouring Tajikistan will see the cycling duo dealing with altitude and sub-zero temperatures.

No doubt there will be celebrations by the time the NSW DPI soil scientist Justine Cox with some living rainforest soil. couple reach China. From

there, they will pedal across the vast Tibetan Plateau, known by locals as the roof of the world, to reach Lhasa, the capital of Tibet, before snowfall closes the high altitude passes.

The journey is inspired

by Krista’s epic 15,000 kilometre solo bike ride from Indonesia to Egypt between 1996 and 2000. During this time, she decided to forsake air travel to make her journey as sustainable as possible. In the same way, the couple hope to make the entirety of their journey without flying, while raising money for a vital environmental cause.

According to Krista: ‘The journey is a chance for us to live simply, sustainably and create peaceful connections with the people we meet.’

Daniel adds: ‘It will be a great learning opportunity and chance to expand our cultural appreciation of the world. Many daunting challenges lie in store, but ultimately our feeling is that of excitement.’

Krista and Dan would like to thank the Australian Geographic Society, ecologicalhosting.com, Hilleberg the Tentmaker, Nelles-Verlag and Reise Know-How for their support.

‘Dishin’ tipped to have worldwide appeal Jann Gilbert Graeme Halfacree is a modest fellow, particularly when you consider he’s the inventor of a brand new board sport that has a lot of people in traditional board sports such as snowboarding and kiteboarding very excited.

‘It’s called dishin because the board has a dish shape,’ says Graeme. ‘And dishin, as in surfin, skiin … It’s a brand new sport.’

Developed primarily from Graeme’s background in skiing and snowboarding, the board actually has seven different applications (water, snow, sand, grass, air, rock and land), which makes it incredibly versatile. It is, however, on the extreme end of the board sport scale, even outranking snowboarding.

‘You basically stand on it the same way as a snowboard but it doesn’t ride like a snowboard,’ says Graeme.

‘You’d have to learn to balance on it and use your body a lot more. The rails on the side allow you to turn faster and the rail at the back, like a skateboard, allows you to slow yourself down or kick up the board.’

Graeme started work on the board and established his company DishinCo in 2001.

While the board itself is quite remarkable, its origins are

Graeme Halfacree with his dishin board.

even more so.

‘It originated from a goop board, an Islander shield, which I bought for my brother to go with the spear I bought him just after our mother passed away,’ says Graeme.

‘I was going through Canberra with the shield and about a dozen people asked

me, “how do you ride it?” because it just looks like a skateboard deck. So I thought about it and told my brother, hey we could make a board out of this. We laughed about it.’

Graeme returned to Cairns where he was living at the time and, about a week later, had an amazing

dream about the board.

‘I’m going down a slope in the snow and I stop at the bottom of the hill and flick up the board, which is this design,’ says Graeme. ‘Then I open up my hand and my mother’s crystal, which I’ve carried since she died, is shining pink and purple and a really powerful green. I woke up and called Mambo, and said, I’ve got this idea for a board, what do I do?’

Mambo gave Graeme about an hour’s worth of advice, which set him on the path to patent attorneys and, ultimately, production.

Graeme has already invested over $300,000 of his own money in the project and now needs some outside investment to take the board through research avnd development and into production.

MAF, a sports equipment developer and manufacturer in Thailand, has taken on the project without hesitation for a commission and a consultancy fee. Together with Graeme, it plans to develop everything from the boards to merchandising.

‘It’s a $2500 consultancy fee that I have to pay upfront and that begins the research and development to make a prototype and a two-part press,’ says Graeme.

However, while MAF are

happy to take on the snow range of merchandising and the board, Graeme also needs to find a partner for Dishin’s surf range of t-shirts, boardshorts and the like, as well as other investment.

With space for production already booked at MAF’s factory all Graeme needs are some investment funds to get everything rolling.

‘If somebody comes across

with a major investment I’ll make 100 presses straight away,’ says Graeme. ‘That will be the major investment, to get the board to a worldwide market. I’ve got patents in 29 countries so that’s a great start.’

Anyone interested in investing in DishinCo can contact Graeme on 0420 616 112 or via email at dishinco@yahoo.com.

Old and Gold festival returns The Old and Gold Festival, which celebrates all things old, secondhand and recycled is on again on Sat June 7 in Brunswick Heads.

According to organisers, registrations for the Garage Sale are essential and are now being taken by Todd at Byron Shire Real Estate 6685 1754.

The Secondhand Fair inside the Memorial Hall is already booked out, however Sandy is accepting registrations for the waiting list on 6680 1695.

Non-Brunswick residents

or those who are unable to hold a garage sale but have goods to recycle are invited to book a stall at the Garden Fair at the Catholic Church on Tweed St, with Mary at her North Coast Trophy Shop in Fingal St or by phone on 6685 1676. All proceeds will go towards World Youth Day. If you are more into collecting than recycling, there will be lots of collections to admire. Already on show is a bren gun carrier, petrol and garage memorabilia, restored bikes and and retro clocks. Call Sandy on 6685 1695 if you have an interesting collection to contribute to the day.

The Brunswick Valley Historical Society’s stall will fascinate and educate at the Memorial Hall.

You can take the girl out of Byron…

But you can’t take Byron out of the girl Naomi Hilton has been practicing yoga in different styles for over 18 years. Naomi has now opened her own retreat with husband Grant Hilton. Not far from Byron, in beautiful Uki with stunning views of Mt Warning, the new Universal Peace Centre Spa Retreat is now open, providing some of the best spa facilities in Australia.

Yoga is more than just stretching!

Come and experience true inner peace: “In teaching yoga I have come to realize that an individual style flows through me as I teach, making each and every class different and ‘alive’. So as not to get stagnant in practice, the experiences to be had are mindopening as well as grounding and balancing. I use Tantric

meditations and ancient breathing techniques in the yoga classes, making it a magical experience.

Instinct is pure, we have this when we are born, yoga tends to help our natural instincts to awaken. The meditations in class are channelled, absolutely divine and tantric.

We also need to reward ourselves with a passionate abundance of love that we all deserve, this is BLISS CONSCIOUSNESS YOGA, or Sat Chit Ananda.” Naomi Hilton This month – Breathwork Mastery on the 17th and 18th and our Exclusive Executive retreats all year round.

MAY 6 – MAY 12

riday heralds a return gig for Fatter than Nusrat at Coorabell Hall. After some confusion with gigs being cancelled, those that have already been booked and publicised are going ahead. This gives locals time to catch a North Coast band that two years ago had a significant East Coast following.

Andrew Darling, lead singer and guitarist with FTN moved to Melbourne, and sadly the band disbanded. But this group of friends has decided to reignite the flame with a spontaneous tour to celebrate and reclaim a little of the Fatter magic.

'It's a special band for all of us who are in it' says Andrew. 'It's not just another band that we have been in – it's a significant chapter in our lives. I was speaking to Peaches our drummer and we were amazed how we worked for a year and a half pretty much every weekend and we played together for 5 years.'

Unlike most bands, the crew didn't break up over petty ego squabbles, like who got the front seat in the Tarago. It was just one of those life things, where you have to make a decision about what's important.

'Oles who is a father of three, is quite a bit older than most of us and the moment the band broke up and we were in Melbourne and he sat with me in a bar and said I have some news – I have to leave the band – he had tears in his eyes when he told me that every time he had to go on tour his two year old would cling to his leg and say Daddy don't go.'

As the principal songwriters, Oles and Andrew decided to put Fatter than Nusrat to rest. After a relentless touring schedule it was probably the creative break they all needed.

'As soon as it ended I felt this physical relief, my body could just rest, the touring really wears you out.

You would go away for a month, and

'I've been listening to recordings to learn the stuff, it's amazing how much is there, in your musical memory, but it's the arrangements you need to learn again. Our first gigs on the tour are in Melbourne, those gigs are a pretty high

'Those hall gigs, especially Coorabell Hall really define what Byron is essentially about. Because if you go into one of the pubs in town you gotta deal with loads of tourists and

The line up in Fatter than Nursrat stars all the original characters: Oles Krowlikowski sings and plays guitar, Bass is Shannon Tait, sax and harp is Robert Neil, Pete Wilkins on drums and Andrew Darling, singing, trumpet and guitar. Although not always at the same time.

As a long time resident of the Byron shire and a musician who has played countless gigs at Coorabell Hall, Andrew has strong feelings about the

In fact, my children learnt to swear as babies from being strapped in their boosters in the backseat of the station wagon while I negotiated my way around the city. I was called into my toddler's creche where they were developing a behaviour management program for her offensive language. She was two. They said they would like to discuss some 'modelling issues'. I told them I was ďŹ&#x201A;attered, but probably a bit past it. They told me it was more my role modelling they were concerned with, not my work as a hand model for a Kmart catalogue back in the eighties. They explained that my daughter had a habit of getting into one of the push cars and loved nothing more than ramming aggressively around the playground hitting other kiddies' bubble cars shouting 'come on arsehole' 'move it dickhead' and 'fucking indicate you idiot.' Hoorah, my unconscious driving aggression had created a baby Gordon Ramsay.

It was very effective, and did make me conscious to use more positive language at the wheel. But it's not the driving that gets me anymore. It's the parking. Or lack of. People live in the city with a constant anxiety about where they are going to park. I went through a slab of rescue remedy every time I hit the road. Sure I put shit on The Secret, but I was so desperate, I was willing to give it a go 'I'll just drive around one more time, and manifest a park'. After two hours, the only space I created was a loading zone and I had to ďŹ ght a salami van for it. I had a handbag so I thought stuff it, I am technically loading. Every single metropolitan trip is planned with an extra half an hour to consider the ramiďŹ cations of ďŹ nding a car space. My girlfriend who lives in Bondi can't park in front of her home. She has to leave the car in Randwick and get a taxi. My other girlfriend who lives in Edgecliff only has one hour parking. She pops outside every two hours to move the Merc. It's ridiculous. There are simply too many vehicles.

Technically, car thieves are environmentalists, liberating the pavements of excessive auto consumption. Cars need to be compact, like IKEA shelving so they can be ďŹ&#x201A;atpacked on the side of the road. Imagine if all you needed to start your motor was an alan key? On closer investigation, I have discovered that the parking crisis is more serious than I ďŹ rst thought. The decade long trend of seachange is not about new lifestyle choices. It's just a good way to get a park.

LOCALS GET AN EARLY SHOT AT SPLENDOUR Last year Splendour In the Grass tickets sold out in ďŹ ve hours and many locals missed out. Many were able to pick up a ticket in the special locals-only sale a couple of weeks prior to the 2007 event, but it still meant they had a long wait before they knew if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d secured a ticket. This year Splendour In the Grass organisers have put a plan in place to save Byron Shire residents from the stress and hassle that locals have experienced in the past when trying to grab themselves a Splendour ticket. This time, Byron Shire residents are at the top of the queue. These special localsonly tickets will be exclusively available to Byron Shire residents on Sunday 18 May from 11am to 5pm from the Hotel Great Northern, four days prior to the May 22 ticket public ticket frenzy.

Residents can only buy one ticket for their own use.

Tickets will not be distributed on the day. You will be given a receipt and your ticket will be e-mailed to you by their ticketing administrators, Qjump. Only Byron Shire residents are eligible so you have to ďŹ&#x201A;ash some ID with a current Byron address. There is no need to camp or queue overnight, because all those who present will get a ticket.

No one misses out.

Working with carbon offset provider Climate Friendly to neutralise the eventsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; carbon footprint last year Splendour had 5,425 Splendour punters who put their money where their mouth is when it comes to tackling climate change. Together Splendour and Green Ticket buyers neutralised over 1,000 tonnes of CO2, which is a huge effort. $18,987 was raised from the SITG Green Ticket initiative and organisers contributed $6,860 to cover internal festival emissions.

These funds were invested via Climate Friendly in renewable energy generation (wind farms), providing a meaningful and long-term solution to our reliance on fossil fuels. This year the green ticket is goig to go one step further and neutralise 144kg of carbon emissions, that covers the two days. All you need to do is choose the Green Ticket options.

NEW JAZZ GENERATION I must resist the temptation to jazzify words in corny writeups. I almost wrote â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;new Jazzerationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in the story header. It's something jazz players must get used to time and time again. It shits them to tears. And is the ďŹ rst indicator that the journalist has little or no understanding of jazz, hence the tricky sleight of hand with the word play. Sadly, I am one such journalist. (Although

journalist seems like such a high status word for my humble job.) Let's just call me a Jazzournalist, or maybe a Jazzidiot. Trio Apoplectic are a young and talented trio straight out of the Sydney Conservatorium of Music.

<<< <<<<CULTURE CULTURE>>> >>> PERFORMANCE ARTS WAVE 2008 – ALCHEMIA This week, put aside Thursday, Friday or Saturday for Shearwater’s WAVE event. It’s an extravagant exhibition of costume art that conjures up the fragrance and wistfulness of other worlds. Its pageantry – it's pomp – it's peculiar – its performance! Every year Shearwater's talented crew present a feast for the senses with a show that marries dance, with art, with fashion.

It's a unique combination of aesthetic, art and boldness of spirit.

This year the production elevates the Mysteries of Marriage through taking as its inspiration, The Chymical Wedding. We journey with the Feminine, encountering all her aspects, until she arrives, transformed at last in soul and body, for the sacred marriage: the union of masculine and feminine.

Live music, colour, lighting, balletic and athletic movement replete with lifts and gravity defying moments characterise the performance.

The effect is a gentle dissolution of the real and the bounded, instead offering its audience an appreciation of the transient, the elusive, the almost understood.

WAVE is a unique event, a community event, a national design competition and a choreographed musical spectacle that is not to be missed.

To book your tickets call Shearwater on 6684 3223 and if not sold out you can get them at the door.

Show starts 8pm with pre show entertainment and food from 6.30pm.

The Big Marquee, 349 Leftbank Road Mullumbimby.

(I'm so Tuff) who knocked Stevie Wonder's I just called to say I love You from the number one position on the top forty charts. After performing for the coalition troops in Iraq and incurring the wrath of the commanding officer of the US forces for his speaking out against the war during his 16 performances where he called George Bush an 'evil version of Forrest Gump', he made front page of every Australian newspaper and featured on This Day Tonight, CNN and had his phone tapped for 3 months. 'It's all good', grinned George.

So what should we expect?

According to George, 'It's a pastiche, a collage of my disenchantment with everything that I see around me. And my enchantment with myself. Often people here in Byron will see me sitting on the beach and they say George what are you doing, and I say I am thinking

inspiration to me because he was the first ever standup communist.' George muses on what comics are really like deep down: 'Comics deep down inside can't be nice people. We are always using terms of violence to describe a good night: I killed, I slaughtered, I ripped their heads off, I pulled their guts out. When I have a bad night: I died. Imagine being a brain surgeon. How was your day at work, I died. There's some guy walking around town dribbling because I had a bad day! Being a comic people want to come and see you work, if you were a bank teller no one wants to hang out... you know what bank tellers remind me of, porn because they are counting someone else’s money and people who watch porn are watching other people shagging. And getting dirty.'

EXHIBITION Aquarius Tales The Nimbin Aquarius Festival changed the face of the North Coast forever. The soft flesh of a dairy farming town was painted with flowers as they danced in the sun. It was a watershed event that birthed the alternative movement in Australia. It was a movement that embraced living in community, in harmony with the land; appropriate technology; holistic healing practices; environmental activism; and the synthesis of science, art and philosophy to create a new age lifestyle. It was a movement that gave a name to a region: the ‘rainbow region’ of northeastern New South Wales. To celebrate 35 years since the Aquarius Festival, the Nimbin Regional Gallery is presenting Some Children of The Dream, a photodocumentary exhibition that explores the legacy to the alternative movement. Work is featured from Saturday until 25 May. Opening Ceremony is Saturday at 6pm and features performances by local musicians Diana Anaid, Lisa Yeates and Neil Pike and exotic dance by Deb.

here are few singers that can really melt you. Grace Knight is one of them. What's most endearing and inspiring about Ms Knight, is the sensual torch singing diva is very much a down to earth country girl. Her rich embodiment of all the good things about being a girl, from satin frocks on stage to gum boots in the garden is what gives her voice that point of difference. In her new album Willow recorded at the ABC studios and released through ABC's Jazz label, Grace's interpretation of her carefully chosen jazz standards illustrates her incredible ability of telling a story with subtext. I was playing the album and suddenly realised how much yearning goes on in love songs. Grace agrees 'This is what a well crafted song is all about – you can't yearn to a back beat!'

These are womens' songs, written peculiarly well by men. Willow Weep for Me tells the story of loneliness.

Grace laughs: 'imagine being so lonely you talk to a tree. She talks to the tree and asks the tree to

powerful feminine that lurks within. Elen takes the group on a medicine journey of healing with sound of all forms of sonic play as the means by which she assists you to unveil your soul song and speak your truth. Elen is a passionate devotee to all

Divine Grace hold her and wrap her up. She's asking the tree to cry for her and weep with her.' With the current North Coast Man drought, that may not be such an unlikely prospect. Women may soon turn to wood for comfort. So how does Grace choose a song?

'I don't choose it for any other reason except for how it makes me feel.

When you sing the song you go there, to the place where you can remember the feeling. You want the listener to connect with how they've felt – I know you've been there, and I know you've felt it – and so if I can tell the truth I am going to touch you.'

And touch you she does.

Sway would have to be the sexiest song I have ever heard. I nearly ran off the road. It's a song that you would have heard a hundred times...the 1953 Latin pop song made famous by the Dean Martin recording. Grace slows it down. Right down. It's incredibly sensual and forms of music and has an intimate understanding of the science of sound and the mechanics by which we are or are not able to sing. She will unlock your true frequency. Go get yourselves plugged back into the planet girls! Elen facilitates Sing

reminds you, that with a woman at the helm, she has the wisdom to go 'slower slower'. 'We recorded with bass and accordian. That's all there is. When the accordian player turned up he was a 70 year old man. He sat in the middle of this giant ABC Studio with his legs apart with his instrument.

I just fell in love with him.

His name is Enzo Toppano.

With people of that age you don't put out a sheet of paper. You just tell him what you want. I found him incredibly instrumental because he knows his instrument.' There is an extra quality in Grace's voice that allowed her to crack such a sensual recording at 9.30am in the morning. 'It was the time I fell in love!'

'The voice is not an instrument meant for pushing for 6 or 8 hours a day. The first or second take is usually always the one. You will try 5 or 6 times more, but it's never as good. The vibe is always better in the beginning, and in the end it's the vibe of the song, where you hear my history, or your history.' No point having a technically perfect song with no vibe!

The songs on the album are more what Grace calls 'Torch'.

2008 MARDI GRAS FILM FESTIVAL BYRON BAY Byron Cinemas is hosting a celebration of gay screen culture with the 2008 Mardi Gras Film Festival to be held May 16-18. Not to be confused with Nimbin’s green variety, the Mardi Gras Film Festival presents the best of gay and lesbian cinema from around the world as part of the Sydney Gay an and Lesbian Mardi Gras Festival.

It’s the largest queer film festival in the southern hemisphere, showcasing around 200 films from 23 countries and attracting over 25,000 festivalgoers.

Byron’s bouquet of celluloid flowers starts on Friday May 16th with Opening Night drinks from 8pm in the cinema foyer, followed by a screening at 8.45 of My Queer Career (rated M15+). This premier collection was a highlight of the Sydney festival, and brings together the

It's obviously a wisdom that is being well received

finalists of the annual short film competition, judged by Margaret Pomeranz, Anton Enus, Anna Kokkinos and Scott Meek. This year’s mix is exceptional, featuring teenage vampires, a mother and daughter on the run, a bumbling cult, a love triangle on the flying trapeze, a sexual awakening, and two touching farewells.

the decriminalisation of homosexuality. The film takes a stark look at the state of living for eight gay men in London today. Mixing expertly crafted drama, comedy and suspense, these stories cross paths in often unexpected ways over 36 hours around London’s infamous Clapham Common.

Queer Screen Festival Director Lex Lindsay will be joining us to launch the festival and introduce the films, so come and enjoy a glass of sauv blanc or cab sav and meet old friends, or make new ones, before enjoying this cinematic treat.

And finally, a chick flick with a difference from Canada.

Finn’s Girl (R18+) screens on Sunday May 17th at 4.30pm.

When Finn’s partner dies, she takes custody of her daughter Zelly, a precocious, naughty but adorable preteen. The pair do their best to watch out for each other

Shelter (MA15+) screens on Saturday at 4.30pm, and is the story of Zack, who sacrificed his art school dreams to help his sister raise her son. Life isn’t all bad however. He spends his days skateboarding and surfing on California’s picturesque coast, joined

by Shaun, his best friend’s older brother, back in town after a stint in Hollywood. It’s not long before the two find themselves sleeping on the beach in each other’s arms and the difficulties of a gay romance in San Pedro begin to play on their lives. This is the first film to come out of a new production initiative at US cable network here, fulfilling their commitment to producing authentic gay films.

Clapham Junction (R18+), screening Saturday at 7pm, is a UK production made by the BBC in recognition of the 40th anniversary of

– in just a few days of it's release, Willow entered the Aria chart at Number 7. Available through all ABC stores or online at abcshop.com.au but Finn’s demanding work in an abortion clinic gradually overtakes her ability to be a responsible parent – Finn is being stalked by religious fanatics who are threatening both her clinic and her life. A surprising mix of odd-couple comedy, police thriller, romance and reproductive ethics, the result is a genuinely unique and engaging film.

Tickets for Opening Night are $20 including drinks, Saturday and Sunday $12.50/$10 conc., and are available now from Byron Cinemas, 108 Jonson St. Byron Bay, phone 6680 8555.

Television Guide Some daytime movies this week: 1. Tim Robbins stars in the moody SF story Code 46 (Prime, Thursday noon).

2. Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau are Grumpy Old Men (NBN, Thursday noon). Matthau had a reason to be grumpy: he caught pneumonia shooting the film in the freezing cold.

3. Possession (NBN, Friday noon) was a great novel. Gwyneth Paltrow and Aaron Eckhart star in the not so great movie.

4. Jessica Alba is The Sleeping Dictionary (NBN, Tuesday noon), a complicated colonial narrative.

Crate Digger and New York City royalty comes to DJ at La-La Land Thursday 8.

New York’s Eli Escobar started DJ-ing during high school in the early 90s, and although a visual arts major he kept playing around with available sound-gadgets at school, ‘They had an old S950 and a very early computer program called Studio Vision’.

He launched himself into the hub of action as a DJ, re-mixer and producer, briefly hosting a radio show called Nightrain in the late 90’s. Since 1997 performing, producing and re-mixing are Eli’s bread and butter. ‘I started from a NYC/ Hip Hop oriented background. Throughout the years my love for dance music really grew and by the late 90's I was mostly into collecting old disco and house records. I put out a few Indie records during those years but since I started really focusing

with Jackie Onassid

Neon Neon and Chromeo. I have a widely read BLOG (outsidebroadcast. blogspot.com) where I post a lot of rare music as well as my own edits and remixes.’

on making dance music/ remixes things have taken off.’

Q: Who is Eli Escobar nowadays?

A: ‘So now I'm touring as a DJ most of the time and still spinning regularly in N.Y.C. I'm also producing records for people like Pase Rock, Amanda Blank and M.I.A. and I have remixed songs for Britney Spears,

Q: Does professional equal commercial?

A: ‘No not at all. It really depends how you choose to get to where you want to go. But no matter what as a DJ, you will find yourself in situations where you need to play for the crowd. But I love DJ-ing and making people happy so when I am in these situations, I go for it and don't feel guilty or like a sellout. It's just music and I don't take myself too seriously.’

Q: What’s hot in your box?

A: ‘I love the Hercules and Love Affair album as well as a few tracks on the new Groove Armada. Also new songs by Juan Maclean, Xxxchange and Studio Apt. have been getting steady

play. I also love anything that has Todd Terje's on it.’

Q; When do you enjoy yourself the most at a gig?

A: ‘What makes me most happy is a lively crowd. So if I'm playing a commercial gig but people are going nuts then I'm happy. If I'm playing a more alternative type gig and people are going crazy, that's really the ultimate. I also love patient crowds who seem more into the music and are willing to listen to a song and see where it will take them.’

Eli is touring Australia starting in Perth followed

by Sydney, Byron Bay and finishes in Melbourne before he takes the jet back to his hometown.

Q: What could you do without when touring, what do you relish?

A: ‘The only things I really don't enjoy are the taxi rides to and from the airports because I get really car sick! Other than that I'd be a fool to complain about this lifestyle.’

Q: Is MySpace a valuable networking tool for you?

A: ‘Not so much. My BLOG has really been great for getting my music to people and making people aware of who I am and what I do.

Scenes from

MySpace is certainly useful but I get way too many messages and spam to really use it for networking.’

Elscorcho at the Winsome Hotel, Lismore this Friday 9 free entry from 22:00.

ELSEWHERE Zok from Melbourne Q: Who inspires you? plays Friday and Sunday A: ‘So many people, anyone joining the resident bunch from Metallica to Public of DJs this weekend.

I assume Zok throw my own edits and will show his versatility this remixes into my sets, weekend and pleasure the usually ones that aren't out audience with two entirely yet!’ different sets. Pleasure seekers only!

Eli will no doubt give us a piece of the Big Apple to chew on and driven by substance and talent he promises to deliver a dynamic show at La-La Land. When asked about his Byron gig and La-La Land he muses, ‘New York in the spring when I can start getting ice-coffee and riding my bike around.’

STARS

WITH LILITH With Sun and Venus in Taurus the tug of the comfort zone’s imperative – though saved from total Homer Simpsonesqueness this week by gregarious Mercury in Gemini’s outgoing urge to socialise…

ARIES: This week’s emphasis in your house of funds, finance, income and the economic health of Planet Ram asks you to face financial obligations, respect credit limits, avoid rash cash schemes and enjoy this week without unnecessary spending or over the top comfort shopping.

TAURUS: Sun and Venus in your sign make this a golden time for Taurans which escalates your attraction

GEMINI: Mercury in Gemini’s at its wittiest and most brilliant, so your mind’s firing at high speed. With the present astral focus in your twelfth house of selfexamination, focus that laser intellect on analyzing, clarifying, simplifying and realigning your life before anyone else’s.

CANCER: It’s lifestyle colonic time again – for getting rid of workplace accumulations, domestic congestion and junk thought processes.

Dark Moods will prevent your enjoying this week’s affectionate pleasures, so the company of free spirited, uplifting, playful, well tempered friends is recommended.

LEO: With Mercury in Gemini’s gift of the gab turning your words platinum, it makes sense this week to cultivate influential people, follow up desirable contacts and try not to disrespect anyone. Even if you could care less, it’s still worthwhile

keeping others on side.

VIRGO: Saturn moving forward out of retrograde in Virgo makes you independent, self reliant, and rewards your work with much more satisfying results than you’ve been getting lately. So relax, you don’t have to try so hard – this week appreciates your way of doing things.

LIBRA: While the present overall emphasis is on financial realities, your ruler Venus in artistic Taurus and Mercury in congenial Gemini render this week extremely Libra friendly.

If hard line economy’s getting the people around you down, a domestic makeover or workplace rearrangement will lift their spirits.

SCORPIO: This week highlights alliances of all kinds, from up close and personal through office politics to general public relations. Yes, group responsibilities do take up valuable time, but they also strengthen mutual ties that will open up a whole new world of support.

SAGITTARIUS: Mercury in Gemini’s the talker’s transit, not that Sagittarians need any extra encouragement. Though you favour the no-worries approach, removing the rose

colored specs will serve you better this week, which benefits from listening: to relatives, co-workers, health professionals, sensible advice.

CAPRICORN: Your planetary ruler Saturn moving out of retrograde lessens financial and family pressures and makes your efforts in all directions more productive.

With this month’s planets in your house of pleasure and creativity, find fun ways to indulge yourself and those on your current A list.

AQUARIUS: This week suggests making your base of operations more comfortable and user friendly with valueadding upgrades to home, office or surroundings where you spend the most time. Meeting-of-minds Mercury balanced by more sensual Tauran rhythms are suggesting a particularly pleasant week for Aquarians.

Quick Clues

PISCES: A lively week of interesting discussions and stimulating communications which pave the way out of seemingly difficult situations or obstacles created by lack of knowledge and information.

There’s plenty of potential for making positive relationship changes too...

>>>cinema...>>> IRONMAN The super hero genre has benefited more than any other from the astounding advances made in SFX and CGI. It is now possible to film the exploits of characters such as Batman and Spiderman with a stunning degree of realism.

But what appeals about the new wave of massive techno rumbles is the care taken in establishing interesting and believable alter egos for the superhuman crew. Christian Bale's Bruce Wayne and Toby Maguire's Peter Parker have complex everyday lives which do more than merely sustain one's attention between their excursions in capes and tights. The rascally Robert Downey Jr. does a similar job with Tony Stark. He is a multi billionaire with an 'unconfl icted'

and it’s here that the movie's bogus factor kicks in. These sorts of blokes weren't made to parley and all the young dudes who come to see them are not forking out their dough to watch stories about fi nding a middle way.

The inevitable fi ghts and smash-ups are extravagant, but they are given too much time for mine, with the final confrontation between Ironman and the bad guy being too prolonged, especially given the assault it makes on the eardrums.

Jeff Bridges is always good value and, as Obadiah Stain, head shaved and sporting a Mohammedan beard, he is every bit the Malibu fundamentalist of western capitalism's arms trade.

As Stark's assistant, the whimsically named Pepper Potts, Gwyneth Paltrow, with her hair dyed a fetching auburn, is a latter day Miss Moneypenny only in stilettos and a slinky black ensemble.

Though commendable for lamenting the inhumanity of the killing machines, it is only lip service, for the target audience wants wham bam kapow and it gets it in spades.

John Campbell

conscience who has made his fortune selling state of the art military hardware to whoever is buying. On a spruiking trip to Afghanistan he is kidnapped by terrorists and locked in a cave, where, to save his skin, he must reproduce for them the Jericho, the latest in his line of weapons of mass destruction. Instead, like Hephaestus forging the armour of Achilles, he creates for himself an impregnable suit of multi gadgeted iron – it looks like it was designed by the same people responsible for the 'Transformers'. He escapes the villains' clutches, but not before he is made aware of the devastation and misery that his company has brought to the world.

He resolves to do more beneficial stuff for mankind,

MADE OF HONOUR This movie asks that you accept as its premise that a bloke – and a rampantly heterosexual one at that – would agree to be maid of honour at a wedding. If you can go with that (and the title’s critically crook double entendre) then you'll spend an agreeable time with what is a run of the mill piece of fluff. Coming on the heels of a spate of US/British productions, it highlights more than anything the dearth of Australian romantic comedies making it to our screens. Why that should be so is a curiosity, for the template of this type of always popular feature is clearly not difficult to work from. Patrick Dempsey, a TV doctor in Grey's Anatomy, plays Tom, one of those insufferably conceited Manhattan gigolos whom women seem to find irresistible. He is also fabulously wealthy, having FULLY AIR-CONDITIONED EVERY WEDNESDAY ALL SEATS ALL SESSIONS $8 ONLY

invented a coffee cup thingy, meaning that he doesn't need to bother himself with anything other than his amorous adventures.

Dempsey is a tad too comfortable in the role and Michelle Monaghan is saccharine as Hannah, the best friend and confi dante who, annoyingly, thinks the world of him. She works in art restoration at the Met, from where she is sent to Scotland for six weeks. There she is swept off her feet by Colin (Kevin McKidd), the virile heir to a vast lairdship. Too late, Tom discovers how much she means to him when the couple announce they will be married. What ensues is a variation of My Best Friend's Wedding, only with the male/female parts reversed.

It's glossy, buoyantly paced and demands absolutely no brain exertion. Along the way it incorporates a glory box full of trusty laughs from similar courtships – from the klutzy collision with the waiter in the ritzy restaurant to the guys connecting with their feminine side on poker night, from the obligatory but well done shower scene in which, at the gym, Tom and his mates cop an eyeful of Colin's huge dick, to Tom appearing in a skimpy kilt when Hannah’s entourage travel to ye banks and braes for the nuptials. The stupidity of that last sight gag says it all about the writers' approach. There is also some brilliantly rude wordplay concerning the traditional Scots name of Athol – I chortled for minutes afterwards. Grinning mush oozed from the girls in attendance for, like the boys next door in Ironman, they had got their money’s worth.

John Campbell IN THE VALLEY OF ELAH In The Valley Of Elah stars Tommy Lee Jones as Hank Deerfi eld, a retired military man investigating the mysterious disappearance of his soldier son, Mike. Jones’s craggy, weather-beaten face manages to portray grief and anguish beneath a steely façade, a controlled but deeply troubled person. His

WWW LUSCIOUSFOODS COM

Victoria Cosford irst there were sprouts, sprouting up on every restaurant menu as the hot new thing, followed by the rocket revolution when the weed became ubiquitous, synonymous with culinary style. Now it's microgreens and microherbs.

At the glorious restaurant attached to the Bonville International golf course just past Coffs Harbour â&#x20AC;&#x201C; its name Flooded Gums owing to the sentries of pale and ghostly gums marching across the manicured grounds as far as the eye can see â&#x20AC;&#x201C; our very young waiter answered our query in a tone which suggested we should have known better. 'They're microherbs,' he described the circlet of tiny leaves and occasional ďŹ&#x201A;ower in a graceful suspension of green oil which surrounded our entree, the sort of dish inclining you to start taking photos.

'But of course!', we hastened, chastened, to reply.

Microherbs and microgreens have been pounced upon by the restaurant world in constant pursuit of something new with which to woo and astonish diners. For quite some time now, both in the UK and the USA, their effect has been just that; in fact, they are huge. Put simply, they are the shoots of standard salad plants and herbs which, rather than being allowed to grow to maturity, are harvested as shoots after they have developed their ďŹ rst tiny leaves. Propagated from ďŹ&#x201A;owering plant seeds, they are plucked when the plant is halfway between sprouting and photosynthesising, resulting in production of the highest levels of micronutrients and amino acids as well as an intensity of ďŹ&#x201A;avour. Their popularity derives from these healthgiving properties together with their amazing ďŹ&#x201A;avour and visual effect.

Several months ago two men set themselves up in business as producers and suppliers of these little marvels, following a couple of years in the planning. Phil Morrow is the operations manager and the hands-on man, while Iain Reynolds directs and markets the enterprise. Iain comes to see me, a cosy jolly Englishman from Coventry, whose cheeky smiles belies an impressive breadth of experience in the ďŹ eld of hydroponics. From a

F

background in the industry in the UK he ended up at Woodburn running a lettuce farm for several years; after a brief return to the home country he came back to the Far North Coast with his family and bought a block of land in Middle Pocket. This is the site of Pocket Herbs and Produce, where underneath the shelter of polytunnels, small pots in labelled sleeves spill out bouquets of red or green or purple leaves 'like a carpet', Iain enthuses poetically, so that I can almost see them. Only water and weak nutrient are used to get the plant going â&#x20AC;&#x201C; there are no herbicides or pesticides used at all, and no possibility of diseases introduced. Iain knew that in this region, a region profuse with restaurants and cafĂŠs, there was no one growing and supplying this niche product â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and so the business was born. So far the main market is Brisbane, although their wholesaler/ providore there is ensuring that the microherbs are wending their way up to Cairns, the Whitsundays, Darwin and on to cruise ships. Byron Wholesale Fruit is, however, supplying them to an ever-increasing number of local establishments, including dish, Byron Beach Cafe, PaciďŹ c Dining Room, Utopia, Fishheads, Blackboard in Lennox Head and the two Victoria's guesthouses. 'Small in size â&#x20AC;&#x201C; big in ďŹ&#x201A;avour' is one of their slogans, and there is basil, cabbage, celery, chard, chives, chervil, coriander, dill, lemon balm, mache and mizuma, mustard cress and parsley, radish, rocket, sage, sorrel and watercress. Gorgeous garnishes that are good for you too, with tastes which diffuse dishes, microgreens and microherbs may not, hopefully, be just a passing fad.

Iain and Phil welcome visits by local restaurateurs and chefs to their farm, and can be contacted on 6680 5247.

Sports Roundup with Eve Jeffery

results@echo.net.au

Bad sportsmaship is the game of bullies Eve Jeffery When I was a kid the worst thing that anyone could call you was a bad sport.

Children frowning and kicking the turf and stomping were bad sports. Kids that didn’t cheer the other team when they lost were bad sports. Kids that didn’t cheer the other team when they won were bad sports.

It was a real affront to be called a bad sport and not the sort of thing a little tacker wanted to have attached to his or her name. Everyone knew who the bad sport was too.

When choosing teams, the captain and his growing cohort would whisper, whisper, whisper behind cupped hands. ‘Maryanne is too slow, and Sam can’t hit the ball straight but we have to pick one of them because Damien’s a bad sport so don’t pick him.’ You were more likely to be chosen for a side if you were the slow, fat, cross-eyed kid than if you were the bad sport.

Being a bad sport was not something to be proud of.

Bad sportsmanship has taken a turn for the worse in as much as no one really seems to care these days.

You can frown, kick, stomp, swear, punch, and

throw mobile phones on and off the field and the only ruffle it will cause is the race to the telly to watch the replay.

Now I’m not even going to go down the Wayne Carey track, suffice to say that having to play for North Melbourne is still no excuse for his behaviour and he should be locked up. That’s not bad sportsmanship, the guy is simply a dickhead and no he shouldn’t be inducted into the AFL Hall of Fame. He is a lowlife and that doesn’t change because he could handle a Sherrin – I digress.

I am talking more about the insidious ‘monkeys’ in cricket kind of offence and the more obvious issues like the ‘temporary brain snaps’ on the foody field. One begets the other.

When we begin to find it acceptable to witness name calling on the field, (and to the thousands of children who see it seemingly unpunished), then when enough brain snaps occur we become desensitized and soon it becomes acceptable.

Bad sportsmanship is simply another form of bullying.

‘If you don’t let me have my way I will take my bat and ball and leave. Or knock you out.’

I know Barry Hall got a

monolith. He towers over a lot of the other players. He is a foody ‘big bloke’. Hall was also a prominent junior boxer. He has, in the past, been trained in the art of punching. Big bloke, trained to punch. Big bloke, trained to punch. Brain Snap!

There is no room for a brain snap. I don’t care if he broke up with his girlfriend or whatever excuse. If he was that unstable he should have sat at home with a cold one and watched it on the telly.

Punching someone, especially when you are eleventy feet tall and have been trained in a sport where you know the exact effect of a fist in the head, is bad sportsmanship.

The whole country saw it on Sports Tonight and broken wrist or no, at some time in the near future we will see smiling Barry kicking the cow hide out in the paddock.

A little suspension, a little slap on the wrist (probably not the broken one), and shazzam there he is.

What would have happened if Brent Staker had died? No I’m serious folks.

Mr tall foody big bloke who was a pugilist, throws a punch and hits someone in the head.

There is the possibility.

What are the chances that

there are spectators worldwide watching that punch on YouTube and saying “you beaudy” instead of “bad sport”. Last count there were over thirty entries devoted to the ‘snap’ from several angles, and over half a million people had played the clip. Glorified bad sportsmanship in living colour for your viewing pleasure.

It would be sad to see Mr Hall’s career end on such a sour note, but it might send home a message that being a bad sport is not on.

We all know it won’t. He’ll continue on being an AFL hero and that will be that…

Now I know I definitely run the risk of being called sexist here and we all know girls can be girls, but you don’t see the Opals slugging it out on the court. Or maybe they are better at hiding it.

Maybe women are more subtle bad sports. Maybe after the long walk back to the dressing room after her 2004 meltdown in the Olympic rowing, ‘Lay Down’ Sally Robbins sat in the corner with bowed head, while her team mates threw a selection of bras, mascaras and roll on deodorants at her. They wouldn’t do that. Would they? Would they?

Sports Roundup with Eve Jeffery Clarence clocked by classy Clarence

Sports shorts …

Byron Bay Soccer – Rams Weekend soccer saw the 5 senior mens Rams teams at home. Fourth division played South Lismore winning seven goals to one.

In the second division the Rams played Teven Tintenbar winning 3-1 win. The third division played South Lismore also with 3-0 win.

In Premier Reserves the Rams played Pottsville, with the Rams coming away 5-0 winners. The Premiers also played Pottsville for a 2-1 win.

The women’s team continued the winning streak with a six goals to one victory.

‘Hey bro, where’d you get those boots?’ Lower Clarence players admire Duane Cahill’s footwear at Red Devil Park on Sunday.

Story & photo John Campbell Livewire centre Clarence Kelly notched up five tries in Byron Bay’s 64-10 caning of an undermanned Lower Clarence on Sunday.

The Red Devils now join Grafton Ghosts at the top of the Retravision NRRRL ladder, both teams unbeaten after four rounds.

‘That performance has been coming, but not even I expected a margin like that,’ beamed coach Nathan Cross.

The Magpies opened the scoring after three minutes, but thereafter it was a barren afternoon for them until, at the death, Byron’s brick wall defence gave up a consolation try.

Kelly got his first fourpointer when lock Michael Lambert slipped him a terrific one handed pass as he was being tackled.

Jared De Thiery’s pinpoint conversion from the sideline gave the Devils a lead which they were never in danger of losing.

It can’t be said, though, that they did not invite their

opponents to have a crack.

On a number of occasions they forfeited possession in the first set after a kick-off, it’s just that those kick-offs were coming on the back of a spate of Byron tries.

In what became a procession, winger Tom Merrit, captain Ben Hill, interchange rake Eli Colbey and pivot Tobin Cupples got across the line to put the Bay out to 28-4. Kelly secured his second when gathering a chip

by Cupples, following which the ref offered the visitors some carrion comfort by awarding them three penalties on the trot.

The Magpies however, looking ragged and a bit narked, posed no major problems with their last tackle options. When they dropped the pill in Byron’s twenty it was Kelly who was Johnny-on-the-spot to scoop on it and race away to put the ball under the posts.

With the Devils ahead 38-4 and the kids on the scoreboard struggling to keep up, the game was virtually over at the break.

The second half was barely underway when a shuddering shoulder charge on Michael Chapman, who had been having a whale of a game, left him prostrate. A pall fell over the ground as an ambulance arrived to transport him to hospital for observation. Thankfully he suffered no serious injury.

When play resumed, junior rep forward Alex Butchies moved to centre, where his robust running caused further headaches for Lower.

Prop Simon Kelly and Hill went over before, from a scrum in Byron’s twenty, Duane Cahill broke clear and showed a clean pair of tangerine heels to his pursuers. The Devils were past fifty and Clarence Kelly put the icing on the cake with two late runaways.

The Magpies never turned it up – it was a bruising second forty – but, trailing 8-64, were well and truly square rooted. The conversion of their last gasp try saved them from that final indignity.

The Red Devils were simply irresistable.

You can never be too careful when it comes to race preparations.

It is always a good idea to use any secret weapons at your disposal to gain that little extra edge over the competition and nothing screams ‘Byron’ more than a gorgeous woman with flowing locks giving a pre race massage on the beach at Watego’s before the 20th annual Ocean Swim Classic, captured here by Lou Beaumont before Sunday’s race. Lou was quick to mention that when this massagee was suitably relaxed, he returned the favour before the couple headed to the surf to compete in the race.

Most existing phonics-based reading programs assume that students can identify speech sounds within a spoken word simply by listening.

This is not so. Twenty to twenty-ďŹ ve percent of the population lack adequate phonemic awareness. It is also remarkable that almost eighty-ďŹ ve percent of the slow readers share one deďŹ cit: they are unable to sound out words and relate sounds to letters accurately. Yet, this skill is prerequisite to success with reading and spelling.

The Lindamood/Bell program teaches children an in-depth sound awareness in a way no other program does, not only using hearing and seeing, but also by monitoring the action of the mouth when producing speech sounds. The program, with its unique and most effective technique, has stood the test of time and has helped innumerable students to success, especially those who would otherwise have been left behind.

In addition, the Lindamood/Bell program teaches students techniques to comprehend language. The Lindamood/Bell method does not replace existing phonics-based reading programs, but makes them more effective!

At the end of the one-week introductory course participants will be able and equipped to begin working with the program (preventively in the classroom or remedially on a one-to-one basis, incl. ESL). The course is presented by M.D. Koenig. (BEd., MCA) Educational Therapist who has worked successfully with the Lindamood/Bell program for over 20 years.

For details and enrolment please contact: mdkoenig@mullum.com.au or phone 02 6684 1266 (Enrolment closes Friday 16 May, 2008)
