Barham to run again

Story & photo Eve Jeffery

Michael McDonald Current mayor Jan Barham intends to run for the post again at the September 13 local council election. The local branch of The Greens selected her unopposed as their candidate last week.

Asked why she decided to stand again, Cr Barham cited a list of unfinished projects – planning issues, LEP, DCP, Coastline Management Plan, climate change impacts, library, community facilities – and ‘a commitment to deliver the vision of a sustainable future for Byron Shire’.

As to the major challenges facing the 2008-12 council, Cr Barham chose ‘state government intervention into development issues and

The Woolworths executives were relaxed but resolute outside the council chambers before last Wednesday’s public meeting at Mullumbimby.

Southern Queensland and Northern NSW regional manager Gary Boyer and the national general manager for supermarket operations Marty Hamnett spoke to The Echo before entering the chambers to discuss Wooloworths’ amended DA for the proposed supermarket in Station Street.

‘We are looking forward to giving our side of the story at tonight’s meeting,’ said Mr Boyer. ‘We have had an open invitation for anyone who would like to talk to us. A number took up the offer. A number didn’t.

‘The invitation remains open and tonight is our chance to get the true facts across regarding the issues that the local community has with the development.’

‘We have spoken to a number of people along Station Street,’ said Mr Hamnett. ‘The greater majority have obviously expressed concerns, but not overwhelming concerns.

There has been only one party that we have spoken to who has been absolutely opposed to it.’

No adverse impact Mr Hamnett claimed the new development would not adversely affect the town. ‘We believe that the local trade zone is large enough, both now and growing into the future, to support a full line supermarket. The myth that Woolies destroys business in town is wrong.

It will actually help keep people in town by stopping the leakage to surrounding towns.’

‘The two can coexist very well,’ added Mr Boyer. ‘We will create jobs and career opportunities for young people and that cannot be understated.

‘The key issues for us are that we can bring additional range at capital city pricing, that is, better pricing into the town. Our research shows significant leakage, so there

is the convenience factor and then there is the jobs aspect. Even in the early stages there will be approximately 100 jobs available.

Mr Hamnett said many changes had already been made to the building plans. ‘The actual design of the box has been amended after discussions with Council. It will be very different from the average store. We have softened the aesthetics and though there are limitations to design flexibility, the plan is unique to the current design of the Woolworths fleet of stores. The facade of the building will be much more suited to the environment that Mullumbimby is already in.

‘Need an outcome’ ‘There are limitations to our flexibility. We have already made some changes in line with Council suggestions. While we will listen, the facts are we also need to have an outcome that is commercially viable for the business.’

The atmosphere was vastly dif-

ferent inside the council chambers where over 200 protesters waited for their chance to finally speak to the Woolworths representatives.

After the meeting was opened by Mayor Jan Barham, the Director of Planning and Development Services, Ray Darney, spoke firstly about the development from a planning point of view.

Mr Darney said that the key issues that he was looking to include in his report to Council were the sewage from the development, the traffic flow at the northern end of the plan, the heritage requirements for design and the pedestrian connectivity and access to the main town centre.

The Woolworths team then produced a 20 minute powerpoint presentation outlining their plans for the development. In summary they believed they are making significant inroads into recycling and efficient use of energy, their supermarket will support the current and growing population, create

jobs including the continuous employment of Mallams staff and will bring choice, value and convenience to Mullumbimby.

Deborah Lilly, Gary Scott and Mark Cochrane from the Mullumbimby Community Action Network as well as independent local Athol Essery were among those who presented their case opposing the plan.

Deborah Lilly spoke about the negative effect the development will have on the community. ‘We feel that you are like the march of the cane toad,’ she said. ‘We join with other communities around the country and will carry the torch of Maleny.

‘Where are the green initiatives?

There are no windows to let in light, no solar panels, no rainwater tanks and no composting, add to that the massive air conditioners on the roof and it appears to me

cost and responsibility shifting, as well as financial limitations. Also the impacts of climate change on local communities that will require a continued strong Council on this issue.’

And what would she do differently in her next term of office, if reelected?

‘I would focus more on community education regarding the capacity and limitations of Council, improve the interface between council and community. And for myself, seek greater balance for personal sustainability to withstand the demands of the role.’

Considering that Deputy Mayor Ross Tucker is likely to be the other major contender for the job, I asked him if he would be running.

Cr Tucker said, ‘I am likely to be

Sunday presented a perfect outlook from the Roundhouse site in Ocean Shores and about 50 visitors took the opportunity to view the panorama and see what has for a long time been hidden behind wire fencing.

Byron Shire Councillor Jan Mangleson, members of the Ocean Shores Community Action (OSCA), and other members of the public who are supporters of the preservation of the Roundhouse site, were on hand to speak about the importance of the site, which they feel is the last piece of community land in the area and must be retained by the community for the community. ‘I hope that we can talk Council out of their decision to subdivide this into eleven blocks and sell it off, because then it is gone forever,’ said Cr Mangleson, ‘Ocean Shores has suffered so many losses. We’ve lost so much open space over the years and we don’t want to lose any more.’ The preservation group also feels that the struggle by Council to acquire the site

for the community in the ďŹ rst place should not now be overturned simply to raise funds that will not necessarily be spent on the Ocean Shores community. ‘It is a very special place for the whole community and should be left for the

people of Ocean Shores as a sign to say “this is something special, this is something that you can have as part of your community�. I would love to see here an aboriginal art gallery and cultural centre rebuilt in the original design, as well as other pub-

lic amenities,’ said Cr Mangleson. ‘What we are hoping is that people will turn up to the meeting next Thursday at the council chambers and show support for the preservation of this site for the Ocean Shores community.’

that the Mullumbimby Woolworths will increase global warming, and that their sustainability strategy is a furphy.’ Local real estate agent Mark Cochrane said that houses in the surrounding streets would lose up to 10% in value. ‘Add up the houses immediately in the area closest to the site and you get a minimum of 50 houses in Station and Prince Streets with a conservative estimate of $2 million lost between them. That’s a huge loss with no compensation.’ Question time was ďŹ ery as many opponents were eager for the opportunity to speak.

A group of five children

asked, ‘Where will we play on Sundays?’ as a response to the increased trafďŹ c volume and weekend Woolworths trading.

Most of the questions revolved around what were Woolworths going to do about the trafďŹ c ow and the social and environmental impact on Mullumbimby.

Few answers were given, ďŹ rstly because of the noise from the gallery, and secondly, because the Woolworth team didn’t appear to have all the answers.

Mr Hamnett said he understood the passion of the community and in response Mayor Jan Barham said that the reason for the passion was because so

much of the power that we as a community should have had been taken from us. ‘Council did refuse the DA when it came before us, and for good reason,’ said Cr Barham. ‘We put a lot of time and energy into deciding what we wanted as the desired future for this town. ‘We created a document in 2003 outlining these desires.

One point clearly made, in relation to the Mullumbimby town centre‌ is that the viability of the business centre is to be retained and enhanced through conďŹ ning development to the existing business zone. No standalone shopping centre will be permitted. ‘This is why this issue has

torn our town apart, ruined our faith in good process. We are ripped off by the state government and the rotten rules they have put in place that take away our right to determine our future. ‘Tonight I have heard some very strong issues about the aws in the application. To win the faith and trust of this community, I would like to ask you to go away and think about whether what you have presented to the Minister is of a standard that is worthy of our community, and worthy of you as a company. The general feeling is that it insults us all.’ â– Comment, page 10, Letters, page 11

Every year the Derby grows in entrant and spectator numbers with a whopping 20%-25% increase in this year’s entries from 2007.

The category with the most obvious increase was in fact the mother’s category: where last year there were four entries, this year saw 13.

Event organiser Tony Heeson told The Echo, ‘It was terriďŹ c. We were blessed with great weather once again. I was nervous after that big storm on Saturday that the rain would set in. ‘As always we had great carts, including plenty of the novelty kind.

FEHVA action heats up this week Hot on the hubcaps of the billycart derby Bangalow will be playing host to another quite different event.

As of this week the A&I Hall will be the home of the 2008 FEHVA visual arts festival, a fundraiser for The Buttery drug and alcohol rehabilitation centre, from May 21 to June 1.

Dee Tipping, Buttery arts program coordinator, says.

‘This Wednesday the action will start with artists delivering artwork for the final selection round of the FEHVA art exhibition and auction.

Auctioneer Robert Bleakley will head the selection process to determine which artworks will be hung for sale and for auction; those not hung will remain on the website for sale.

‘Hung artwork will be eligible for various prizes including the Elders Bangalow $1,000 cash prize. This year the artwork submitted to FEHVA represents yet another wonderful collection of work where new, emerging, established and esteemed artists mingle.’

On Saturday May 24 The FEHVA portrait prize takes over the main hall with Ken Johnson sitting in the morning and Mandy Nolan draping herself along a suitable couch in the afternoon – just a few spots remain if you still want to enter for the portrait prize.

On Monday May 26 doors open at 5.30pm to those keen to see which artwork

has been selected and hung.

The event will be celebrated with a concert headlined by much loved Buttery patron David Helfgott and guests including The Buttery Choir, Yantra Da Vilder and Scarlett Affection.

The opening night festivities will warm up the hall for the big gala night on Thursday May 29 where guests will arrive at 5.45pm for the red

carpet treatment, many with a few good bids in mind, at the A&I Hall for the fifth FEHVA art auction and banquet. Even if you are not in the market for an artwork, there are non art auction items or you can make a donation to The Buttery Gift of Recovery program.

Arun Pradhan, a homeschooling father based in Mullumbimby, explained

that no specific qualification or teaching experience was required to homeschool. In his opinion the key qualities required were, ‘a passion for learning, playful curiousity and a love for your kids’.

According to Pradhan most homeschooled children participate in a range of activities such as sporting clubs, theatre groups, circus, dance or music classes. The

‘I have not considered what the issues might be but generally the community or sections of it make much of

the running on issues special to them.

‘Between now and September this council will have a few issues to determine, especially the management plan and budget if the Minister rejects the application for a 6.2% special rate variation.’

At the last election in March 2004, Cr Tucker received the highest number of primary votes (5,395) but Cr Barham won 6,844 to 6,086 after preferences were counted. The closest other contender was John Anderson (Fast Buck$) on 1,288 votes.

Story & photo Eve Jeffery On Tuesday last week the Brunswick Heads bowling club played host to the second annual North Coast Institute of TAFE Hair Extravaganza. Almost 40 apprentices and trainees from the TAFE campuses at Wollongbar and Kingscliff trimmed, teased and toned the hair of 76 models in the hope of impressing the judges.

The three categories in the competition were long hair bridal/formal, cut and colour and avant-garde. The models then paraded the catwalk for a delighted audience.

Rachel Avery from Fusion Hair Salon in Byron Bay had previously been trained and qualified in the UK, but recently completed the Certificate 4 course to allow her to work as a hairdresser in Australia. She created a replica of the head gear worn by Marie Antoinette which was the fashion in 1780s.

Rachel said the ‘do’, which

Antoinette was quite top heavy in the piece that weighs about two kilos. ‘It is a precise reconstruction to scale of the original 18th century head piece that Marie Antoinette wore. It is made from real hair and is absolutely authentic except for the chicken wire which I used instead of plain wire and the papier maché I made for the stuffing instead of animal intestines, which is what was used back then. I thought it might get a bit smelly.’

Marie was the hit of the evening and there were certainly a few astonished punters as she paraded past the pokies. Her headpiece valued at over $1000 is destined to become an objet d’art in the Hall of Fame at the Kingscliff TAFE. Names of Extravaganza winners will be released later this week and those Rachel Avery from Fusion in Byron Bay at the Brunswick Heads trainees will be included in bowlo with Marie ‘let them eat chips and gravy’ Antoinette. the team competing in the took three months to research build, was a project for the IHS Battle of the Colleges in and almost two weeks to course.

Women’s wisdom on the yoga agenda Story & photo Lou Beaumont Byron Yoga Lounge is bringing the wisdom of Iyengar yoga to the often complex world of women and their ever changing cycles of life.

This Saturday and Sunday (24-25 May) the Lounge will be hosting a Women’s workshop with a focus on menstruation, menopause and all the phases in between.

Karena Williams, who teaches at the Yoga Lounge, told The Echo, ‘In order to live fully and healthily there is a necessity for us all to frequently reevaluate where we are in our lives, but particularly for women. Women’s lives are earmarked by phases, and every 5-10 years we change quite dramatically in terms of our hormones and physiology, and even our mind and what is required of us throughout certain times in our lives.

‘It is truly amazing how many phases to our womanly cycles there really are once you start looking into it. Even the menstrual cycle has been simplified in the everyday mind.

‘Women experience varying phases of their own menstrual cycle (including dysmenorrhea), fertility issues, phases of pregnancy, pre menopause and menopause.

Each phase brings its own

challenges and the more knowledge you have about what is happening in your body and mind, the more you can honour your body by supporting yourself and thereby lessening any symptoms and discomfort.’

The workshop will address these phases through various Iyengar yoga asanas (postures) but also with related yogic principles such as pranayama (breath work),

Ayurveda and the effect of the moon cycles and the environment on women’s individual cycles. The workshop will provide insights and techniques to be taken away and used throughout your life – knowledge that is intended to be built upon through future phases.

The Women’s Workshop will be led by Liz Costigan and Karena Williams and is ideal for women of all ages and levels of yoga experience. The workshop will run from 8am to 9.30am and 1pm to 3.30pm on Saturday May 24 and continue on Sunday morning 7.30am9.30am. Cost is $95 and includes one free followup class. The Byron Yoga Lounge can be found at Belongil Fields on the Ewingsdale Road. Call Liz on 0402 770 441 or Karena on 0431 458 953 for more information.

Good Samaritan needs your help Jann Gilbert Like many other 22-yearolds who have uni or an apprenticeship finally behind them, Chris Norman set off (only six weeks ago) on his round-Australia odyssey.

Chris had spent time in Byron as a teenager with his family and wanted to make this the first stop on his working holiday. And he’s done pretty well so far, scoring a job at the Great Northern and other casual work.

A bit over a week ago Chris was coming through town after finishing his shift and witnessed a man falling heavily on the road. Chris stopped to render assistance and a group of other young men present helped to get the injured young man into Chris’s car and to hospital.

The injured young man, a 30 year old Irish tourist, was later taken to Brisbane Hospital where he remains in an induced coma.

Subsequent news reports

called Chris a ‘good Samaritan’, however, his good works have turned out to be not so helpful to him.

After getting the injured man to hospital, with his car out of petrol, Chris was going to wait out the couple of hours until a service station opened. The group of young men who had assisted him with the injured man suggested Chris could drive them and their car home, and was welcome to stay with them. Having been awake for almost 24 hours at

that point, Chris decided to take them up on the offer.

Unfortunately, a combination of heavy rain, a lack of lighting, unknown roads, and a notorious curve on Myocum Road resulted in an accident.While the young men were all OK, the car however was not. Chris was informed by the tow-truck driver that, because the car could not be driven away, he had no choice but to report the accident to police. This results in an automatic loss of three demerit points (which could mean the loss of his licence) and a fine of around $300.

After talking with Chris and the young men, police realised that it was the same group who had taken the injured traveller to hospital.

After assisting police with their enquiries they suggested that Chris appeal the infringement with the RTA, which he intends to do. Police have praised Chris’s actions in get-

ting the man to hospital and in assisting them.

Timmy, the owner of the car involved in the accident, unfortunately had no insurance and so is now without a vehicle. While Chris is not directly responsible he still feels he has to help in some way.

‘I’ve offered to try and pay him a bit each week, at least something towards replacing the car, but that’s difficult when I’m not working full time and travelling as well.

I’m barely earning enough for rent, food and petrol,’ says Chris.

Considering this is Chris’s first time out of home, in unfamiliar surroundings, that’s a heart-warming attitude from one so young, and it deserves some acknowledgement and some support. Any help from anyone would be gratefully accepted: a car, cash donations, anything at all! Call Chris on 0422 670 622.

Connected parenting the aim of festival No, it’s not international baby throwing day – it’s the launch of Connected Parenting, an event that focuses on the challenges that face parents.

Organisers Scott Longden and Karen Nelson are parents of two small children who moved to the area because they believed it offered more alternative, natural parenting styles as illustrated by guest keynote speaker Kali Wendorf of Kindred Magazine.

Speakers on the day focused on connected parenting, on the benefits of examining established child rearing structures and coming up with something more ‘mammalian’.

According to the speakers, controlled crying, regulated feeding and long periods of separation from the mother have a detrimental effect on child development.

Parents however need sup-

That way, says CHI, ‘One complaint will no longer be able to curtail completely the enjoyment of very, very many.’ CHI has also sourced an audio monitoring system that warns performers of excessive bass levels or music volumes in general. The unit can be programmed to switch off the ampliďŹ cation if permitted noise levels are repeatedly exceeded for more than a speciďŹ ed period, ie. up to 20 seconds.

That way, intending purchasers are informed.’ Indeed, this sort of policy has a precedent in Fortitude Valley, where new residents clashed horns with longestablished music venues and ultimately came off second best. Residents within a certain radius of the venues were required to soundproof and double-glaze their own premises (or cease complaining) and Brisbane City Council adopted development controls within live music ‘zones’ that required any development to soundproof accordingly.

noise levels and the number of events. ‘CHI will lobby Council to adopt these guidelines into its new Cultural Policy, and we’re developing strategies for ensuring that they are complied with at Coorabell, and through further inuence, at other local community halls suffering from similar issues,’ says Simon Fraser.

Cr Richard Staples, who attended the meeting, supported the noise management plan and CHI’s other initiatives, saying, ‘It’s a great idea. The last thing anyone wants to see is the closure of these halls. I’m happy to bring up any outstanding questions at Thursday’s Ordinary Meeting of Council.’ James Heddle has also spoken to Council’s compliance department about the plan and, ‘they appear to support it,’ says James.

Coorabell and other halls throughout the Shire have played an historic role in bringing communities together.

For almost 100 years dances have been held at Coorabell Hall and as Janet Kneale, who lives next to the hall, says, ‘Dances in the 1920s sometimes didn’t ďŹ nish until 4am.The Aker boys, who owned our property and were apparently a bit wild, used to jump on their horses when the dance ďŹ nished and have a little sleep while the horses made their way home.

They’d wake up when the horses stopped outside the milking sheds, ready to jump up and start milking.’ From dances, to B&S and deb balls, wedding, parties and almost anything, the Shire’s halls have rung with the sound of music since they were established. With the concerted effort CHI has made to address the issues, and the cooperation of hall committees and Council, there’s no reason why the music can’t continue to ring throughout the hills (at the correct decibel level and up until midnight only, of course).

Loud screams from the deserving rich Vol 22 #49

May 20, 2008

Spinning Woolies It is a great pity that residents who support Woolworths in Mullumbimby did not attend the community meeting on Wednesday. Their absence was not surprising as they could anticipate that the Council chamber would be packed with opponents of the development, including the redoubtable Cr Lazarus who sheds more heat than light on any proceeding. However, if Woolworths supporters feel they don’t need ďŹ rsthand experience of the depth of feeling against the supermarket, they would certainly beneďŹ t from seeing how the company behaves. On Wednesday’s evidence it operates with spin, half-truths and deception.

Woolworths have leave to build because one man, Planning Minister Frank Sartor, overrode Council’s decision and approved the development on the basis of dodgy surveys and a awed economic impact statement.

Now they wish to amend an approval that was given in contempt of the evidence and wishes of the local community and make it even more favourable to their purposes.

The pièce de rÊsistance in the new proposal is connection to the sewer. This is Mullumbimby’s overloaded sewerage system, for which other developers have to join a waiting list until the upgrade is completed (it hasn’t started yet). Woolworths argue that sewage from the site would be comparable to that from an ordinary household; meanwhile the glossy brochure they circulate claims the development will create a hundred jobs.

Other examples of duplicity were on evidence at the meeting. The Woolworths representatives showed a picture of the new supermarket hidden away behind a tasteful line of trees. Fortunately residents had used the DA information to create a genuine projection of the ugly giant box, and demonstrated how it would tower over Station Street. One of the Woolworths people claimed that the majority of affected residents were in favour of the development, but was unable to substantiate this; the meeting, which contained many of those affected residents, was not impressed.

The core of the argument in favour of Woolworths is the assertion that without a large supermarket the town will die because of people shopping elsewhere. This absurd ‘kill to save’ proposition ignores Mullumbimby’s genuine attractions and growing prosperity. The town would indeed die if it became like other country towns that have been unable to absorb large-scale supermarkets: they are left with a commercial monoculture dependent on Woolworths, and a rotting CBD. The best chance to avoid this fate is for Woolworths themselves to realise that Mullumbimby is not a suitable site for them. Omens are not good, with their speakers on Wednesday night asserting that the meeting was not representative of the true feeling in the area. In the absence of a neutral survey this is hard to judge, as people tend to speak to like-minded people. However, as evidence and argument accumulate more residents are likely to change their opinion and line up against Woolworths than will move in the other direction. When the supermarket opens at the end of next year it will face, at the least, a prolonged period of local hostility and boycott.

In the meantime, public submissions on the DA amendments Woolworths are seeking need to be lodged at www.planning.nsw.gov.au by May 30. Frank Sartor has given no sign of favouring the interests of communities when they conict with big business, but if the people of Mullumbimby want to heed Cr Lazarus’s call for direct action they must ďŹ rst exhaust all other avenues.

S

o the budget has come, and already it has just about gone; overall it was something of an anticlimax.

In spite of the forest loads of print spent in anticipation and analysis (last Wednesday The Australian alone devoted no less than 16 broadsheet pages to the bloody thing) it could all have been summed up in the traditional headline: ‘Moderate budget, not many hurt.’ However the not many made, and are still making, an awful lot of noise about it.

They are an interesting and varied lot: the private health funds, of course, were the ďŹ rst off the blocks to predict the end of the world as we know it. If the young who had been whipped into their ranks by the threat of heavy fines if they resisted were now to escape, their fees would have to go through the roof and the public hospital system would collapse, and that was just for starters.

The argument might have carried more weight if their fees had actually gone down and the hospital crowds diminished when the kids were conscripted in the ďŹ rst place, or if their annual profits had not verged on the obscene ever since. As it is they can expect and will receive little sympathy from the public and still less from the government.

More appealing were the bourbon-and-coke swilling ute drivers, who understandably objected to their tipple being treated in the same way as the alcopops consumed and regurgitated by teenage bingers. Well, just buy it by the bottle and forget the coke. And of course the farmers and the pensioners felt, as always, overlooked and let us all know, although at least the farmers kept their

clothes on in the process.

But the loudest and least edifying screams came from those best able to afford them, the householders on $3000 a week and over. The deserving rich, the aspirationals who set the example of ambition, hard work and thrift for the rest of us, were once again being penalised for their success.

Not only had the politics of envy denied them a tax cut, but they were no longer to be paid for having babies and staying at home to drink gin and eat chocolates during their formative years.

They could, admittedly, farm them out to child care and possibly even end up better off by doing so, but it was still all so unfair. After all, just because they were

lionth. So despite their plaintive cries, they are unlikely to attract the attention of Oxfam and World Vision.

But you can’t blame them for trying. And at least these days some are prepared to stand up and argue their case in straight debating terms.You have to give points to the letter writer in the Sydney Morning Herald who explained that yes, it was true he could be classiďŹ ed as rich; he had a much larger income than most people. But then, he needed it, because of his lifestyle. ‘The rich,’ he summed up, ‘have far greater expenses than the poor.’We can only hopeWayne Swan takes this timeless truth into account when framing his next budget.

The opposition of course, vigorously opposes the

by Mungo MacCallum pulling in more than $150,000 a year it didn’t mean they were rich. Did it?

Well, did it?

Actually, yes, it did. Rich and poor are, after all, comparative terms. And compared to, say, the Sultan of Brunei, the Queen of England, Rupert Murdoch and Bill Gates most of the residents of Point Piper and Toorak are scraping along in positive penury. They are, however, among the very top earners in Australia, amassing more than ninety percent of their fellow Australians and considerably more than twice the average. In global terms, of course, they are towards the peak of the top one bil-

budget, because it is too mean, or too generous, or too expansionary, or too contractionary, or just too difďŹ cult, and it has ways of making it less of all of the above.

The ďŹ rst involves blocking measures such as the increased alcopops tax and the raising of the health insurance level in the senate.

It can do this because the old senate, formed during th election of 2001 and 2004, is still in place. The new senators, reflecting the results of the 2007 election, do not take their seats until July 1. Thus Brendan Nelson is proposing to ignore the results of the last election and the will of the people

and postpone the implementation of the government’s policy, just because he can.

This could be seen as a act of supreme political cynicism, were it not surpassed

by Nelson’s headline grabber: a challenge to the government to knock ďŹ ve cents off the petrol tax, with the promise of doing so himself if he is elected to ofďŹ ce. If this was ever a serious possibility, Nelson’s latest bid should rule it out forever.

There are some policy proposals which are so bad that they are unforgivable, and this is one of them. At the most superďŹ cial level it is meaningless populism: a ďŹ ve cent cut now would save the average family less than $5 a week and would be quickly absorbed by future price movements anyway. But at a deeper level it contradicts the entire thrust of sensible ďŹ scal and energy policy.

Petrol in Australia is still relatively cheap compared to most of the world, especially Europe, and we still use far too much of it. Because it is a non-renewable and increasingly scarce resource, and a major contributor to climate change as well, we should be trying to wean people off it.

By announcing that if punters whinge loudly enough the government can and will bring the price down, Nelson is sending all the wrong signals.

And it isn’t even an original idea: John Howard did it when he was in trouble at the beginning of 2001, but wisely resisted pleas for an encore for the next seven years. Nelson’s move, against all advice, is appalling policy and is now turning into bad politics as well. And by making it, he may well have added himself to the budget’s short but vocal list of losers.

Fierce opposition to Woolworths ■ Open letter to Ray Darney, director of planning, Byron Shire Council, and Jan Barham, mayor of Byron Shire: Thank you both, and BSC, very much for honouring Mullumbimby Community Action Network with the time and space to be heard regarding the Woolworths issue. I feel privileged that we were invited into the council chambers; into the heart of the local democratic process. Thanks too to the BSC Councillors Lazarus, Staples, Tabart and Westheimer who attended.

Our group and other residents had a good opportunity to get our views across to counter what we perceived as the Woolworth’s PR team’s greenwash. Mayor Jan gave a moving and eloquent speech to sum up the night – in all it was a brilliant meeting. To experience the council roundhouse packed with community vitality and solidarity was, for me, most heartening. The chambers rocked.

Bay bypass In response to responders to my letters, John Lazurus and Bill McKay: John, I appreciate your candour in stating your anti bypass position. I think your ideas on town centre parking are wonderful – it’s just that they don’t help me. Like many others, I need to cross from one side of Byron Bay several times a day for reason of work/school-childcare/shopping/health/sporting commitments etc. More town centre parking simply does not fix the fact that I have to queue up to come into a town I only wish to

■ Woo lies reps were well and truly shamed for woo lies reprehensible greenwash behaviour by MCAN. Mayor Barham claimed Woo lies sec 96 was an insult to Byron.

The computer model of woo lies big box was so high, up to 8 metres of solid concrete slab, it would block TV reception for Prince Street.

No windows, solar, composting, just a huge unsustainable energy wasting, poo-louting box.

For outspoken passion, Big John Lazarus is a true warrior. If we have go to the barricades, John Lazarus will be there. Deb Lilly summed up woo lies expansion into the countryside as similar ‘to the advance of the cane toad’. Small traders not corporate raiders. Join the ‘National Boycott Woo lies’ movement.

■ Last Wednesday I attended the meeting organised by Council regarding the Woolworths supermarket development in Mullumbimby.

I attended the meeting because I am horrified that a monstrous, loud and

unsightly monolith will be erected at the entrance to our picturesque township. I attended because I hoped, if Woolworths persist, that the expression of community concerns to the Woolworths representatives in attendance would convince them of the value of modifying the approved supermarket design. Not to modify in the manner they currently propose but in a manner way more sympathetic to the mitigation of its worst impacts.

This was a noisy, passionate meeting with banners waving, constant interjections, selective applause and foot stamping.

Generally, people wanted Woolies to just go away.

Some presentations made practical suggestions with regard to improvements to the proposed design. Others tended more to impassioned ideological offerings.

Some of the latter were fairly wild. That from Councillor John Lazarus was unacceptable.

He sat in front of a Councillor’s microphone and yelled throughout the meeting regardless of entreaties

by the chair to settle down.

He justified his interruptions by describing himself as a Councillor and a community member, whichever persona he found expedient.

I saw him shouting angrily, his fists waving, threatening the Woolworths representatives and anyone who dared request he wait his turn. I heard abuse, hatred and venom. What happened to the values that this community prides itself on?

I do not want Woolworths in Mullumbimby. I hope they pack it in. But given the development approval they have I would have to have my head deeply embedded in the sand to not at the same time push for a better deal for nearby residents and the appearance of the Mullumbimby townscape if the supermarket is to happen.

Not much chance of a better deal with Lazarus grabbing the helm. Not to mention the effect on the quality and future of public debate in our Shire.

Does this guy really intend to stand for re-election?

pass through. I remain an admirer of your passion and integrity if not all of your politics. I do hope you find a running mate for the next election as without Green preferences getting back into council is going to be a big ask.

Bill. The purpose of my letter was to repudiate the statement reported over and over that we are not getting a bypass because of State Rail. I just don’t believe this. I believe we are not getting a bypass because the Green aligned councillors on our Council don’t want one.

In my earlier letter I asked two of the Greens to advise their position on the bypass and got the responses I expected. A candid one from John, and nothing from Jan. There is no political mileage to be made from coming out and stating a position that may be at odds with much of the electorate.

John spoke up because he doesn’t care much for political mileage.

I don’t wish to do another blow-by-blow refuting of your points, Bill, but one point made requires clarification. You state that the residential population of

Byron Shire has decreased in the last five years. In the ten years I have lived in Byron Shire, the industrial estate has doubled in size, as has the number of businesses in town. Many houses have been demolished and replaced with holiday apartments. As a result, there many more people sleeping or working in the Byron Shire regardless of residential population numbers. Your statistic may well be true but it’s irrelevant.

There are many more car movements in and out of Byron Bay. Development has proceeded with little/no increase in road infrastructure to the detriment of many. Once again, Jan, I ask you to state your position on the bypass. Do you want one or not? Are you really pushing for one, or not? In fact I invite all the Greens to submit a joint statement if they all hold the same position. The Byron Shire electorate either agrees with you or not and will support you or not at the forthcoming election, but they deserve to at least know what you stand.

possibly imaginary shock to the economy takes precedent over the risk of driving life on Earth to extinction?

Going green will create much employment as it has done in Germany for example. The ďŹ lthy coal industry employs relatively few people and is constantly shrinking as efďŹ ciency levels rise.

So far federal, state and local government have put nothing into place to seriously address climate change. Oh, I forgot, we changed a few light bulbs!

Council has holiday letting responsibilities How quaint. The issue of holiday letting in residential zones was raised again in The Byron Shire News (May 8) which reported that the Mayor, Cr Jan Batham, stated that the majority of councillors are unwilling to accept that holiday letting is unlawful use. Since when was the law applied at the discretion of some councillors, and, if the Mayor believes that it is unlawful (and it certainly appears to be: commercial use in a residential zone) then why isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t council enforcing the law?

Furthermore, the Building Code of Australia (BCA) requires that properties used for short term tourist accommodation must meet a differ-

ent standard from long term Class 2 residential properties.

The Building Code recognises that short term tenants are unfamiliar with the property and, in an emergency may become confused and disoriented. Hence, a higher standard of fire resistance construction is applied. Fire detection and alarm and emergency lighting apply as do mandatory setbacks to property boundaries.

As the consenting authority Council has not only a legal obligation but also a duty of care to ensure that these laws and codes are enforced.

Should a short term tenant die in a ďŹ re, liability may well extend beyond the landlord to the council. Cr Lazarus

warns that the holiday letting issue could be the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;deathâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; of Byron Bay. He may well be correct.

It is long term residents, those who invest so much of themselves to enrich and enliven the community, whose right to quiet enjoyment and a sense of place is being eroded. But long term residents and those who have more recently purchased properties in areas of Byron Bay subject to residential 2A zoning have reason to expect that that zoning is mandatory where they live. In my neighbourhood, soon to be heritage listed â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;as a place of special importance to the local communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, children play in the street,

mothers push strollers together, people chat on corners and a village atmosphere still exists.

Unfortunately, in my street a Class 2 (BCA) house has recently been built, presumably with Council approval, solely for the purpose of holiday letting. Tenants are booked in (up to 8 at a time) back to back, year round.

They have no interest in our neighbourhood and demonstrate no connection with our community. They are in constant holiday mode, and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;responsible managementâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; (hello HLO) is meaningless when the stereo is still thumping away at 3am, the managing agent is tucked up in bed and the absentee

This is clearly not an appropriate, nor lawful, use of a residential area. Whatever the LEP does or doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do, the fact remains that short term commercial letting in a residential 2A zone in a Class 2 (BCA) building is, and always will be, illegal.

Liability is indeed a major issue, Councillors, and it is time you faced up to your responsibilities and looked after the community properly. The sense is that this council believes it is doing the right thing if it does nothing. The right thing is to enforce the law.

Threat to country hall culture ■ The vibrant country hall culture in the Rainbow Region, as old as settlement itself and famously kept alive around the townships of Mullumbimby and Nimbin, has been documented by Southern Cross University and the Aquarian Archive Inc and draws the interest of international academics. It was once even championed by the notoriously conservative 1991–1995 Byron Shire Council.

The particular debate centred on a proposed subdivision close to Coorabell Hall and the case against pleaded for the continued right of young people to meet and celebrate free of the obligation to consume alcohol and mix with drunks. The vote was, surprisingly for that pro-development council, unanimous against the development. The then general manager, his compliant planning manager and the gullible shire president, who had apparently assured the developers that they were home and hosed, were thrown into a tizz at the unexpected result and some sleight of hand was performed to get the development passed.

A generation later, as I check the gig guides in both Echos and note that the alcohol-free choice for live-

music-loving youth seems to have all but disappeared, perhaps those who have moved near to a country hall in the last few decades could ask themselves: in what kind of environment they would rather have their children and grandchildren party?

And who is to pay for this infrastructure required to support the trails: Council (i.e. ratepayers), NHAG (the promoters of bridlepaths) or affected landowners?

Isn’t it time for Council to let ratepayers know what it has in mind?

tioners and the never-ending rumble of trucks every day of the week.

So where is the law protecting us?

It is being misused by intolerant, uncaring newcomers who place their own interests above the rights of the community within which he lives. When I lived near Durrumbul Hall if I went to bed before the occasional band finished, I simply wore earplugs. Problem solved.

Tolerance used to be one of the attributes that made this area so special.

When I moved to this shire 15 years ago I was attracted by the diverse artistic community that thrived here.

There are many beautiful beaches in the world but people also came here to experience the ‘culture’ which was vibrantly alive and active.

So what becomes of all us musicians, dancers, drummers and lovers of healthy family community fun? I believe there is still hope that our new, complaining resident might consider the irreparable damage he could so easily do to our community and withdraw the objection and use earplugs. Better still go out dancing.

I am sorry if my previous letter seemed outrageous. I was merely trying to balance the one-sided perception that yourself and Jenny Coman would interpret Michael Parenti’s article with, ie to negate Tibetan culture after reading a polemic against it, and even Parenti goes to lengths to ensure it is not bias.

A l t h o u g h Pa r e n t i ’s polemic didn’t use the frequency of warring between Buddhist factions Gelugpas, Kagyupas, Nyingmapas and Sakyapas, he pretty well uses every other criticism, including the Tibetan perspective from Peking published author and communist Anna Louise Strong, an early advocate of Communist China and Russia.

This all in the same manner that past intellectuals would pen highbrow polemics against the validity to

There is a Tibetan culture. It has its own language distinct from any other.

Their own customs. They don’t advertise that their culture revolves around death, and the reverence and humility that ensue from that. This incurs the subjective experience that many Westerners overromanticise Tibetans with, that then requires critics like Parenti to demystify.

And for all their faults as a culture, their past infighting, their theocratic history (which for all its criticism is fundamentally no different to many capitalist and socialist regimes today, and our very own cultural histories), for all this they are an autonomous culture deserving of existence.

The Pope Show Like Hugh Downie (Letters, May 13) I laughed at the high camp theatrics of the Pope show, until I recalled that the NSW Government under Morris ‘Il Duce’ Iemma is throwing the Catholic Church Corporation $86 million of taxpayers’ money to stage the so-called ‘World Youth Day’ at Randwick racecourse. ‘Corrupt Cronyism’ always comes in several lengths ahead of ‘Public Interest’.

This stunt invented by the late Pope Zombie (aka John Paul 2) and carried on with gerontocratic determination by the present Pope Nekro (ReichsKardinal Rattzinger, ex Hitler Youth member) is a desperate attempt to dress wolves in sheep’s clothing to trick the young into medieval superstition and into giving allegiance and money to very unattractive old men.

(The Dalai Lama pursues much the same agenda but with convincing joviality; as do the Mullahs but with exciting explosions and wacky promises of sex after death.)

How any normal young person could be attracted to the old men of the Catholic Church escapes me. The appetite of the slavering prelates who trawl through the Dracula shadows of the Catholic Church has been all too tragically documented.

As ‘World Youth Day’ approaches, and as even the RTA has been conscripted to erect count-down signs around Sydney to heighten the anticipation, I imagine our own Cardinal Pell can barely contain his excitement.

The mystery of the auxins

Auxins are one of five growth regulators found in plants. Through the 1930s-40s, these discoveries were the career highlights of Western scientists. One such man was Ezra Kraus, who had a deep affection for daylilies. A professor at the University of Chicago, he specialised in auxins.

He also specialised in developing biological warfare. Henry Stimson of the US war department asked him for advice. Kraus suggested that auxins could be an important weapon. He pointed out that in large concentrations, the substance would drive certain broadleaf plants into wild growth, exhaustion and death.

The US Army found that artificial auxins could be easily synthesized. The best, three hundred times more potent than natural auxins, were 2,4–D and 2,4,5-T.The UK researchers agreed, finding it useful for weeding cereal crops. So began the defoliant and herbicide industries. The electrolyte

methods of production also created dioxins.

The Sveso urban region.

The mangroves of Vietnam.

Homebush Bay in Sydney Harbour. A few of eighteen internationally acclaimed sites contaminated with this lethal cocktail.The reports of cleanups at these sites do not begin to name the people affected, the plant and animal life contaminated.

Somehow, in a moment of wonder, Kraus looked at the swollen growing tip of his beloved plants and imagined parts. One part could be pulled out, like a part from an engine, and used elsewhere as a tool of destruction. Is there a way to look into his creativity for that insight?

Kraus was likely under the spell of the mechanical. Fascinated by bits. Taken by the possibility of breaking up and reassembling.The effects of quantities.

Today, other scientists still look at the same phenomena.

But the descriptions are quite different. Quantities of auxins and their pathways are

still there. But there is another level of details to include and use to steer imagination. According to Brian Goodwin, these are qualities.

See, the cutting has nothing and everything. It has no privileged part which will dictate the creation of a new plant. But it has a condition within itself. Goodwin sees there is a ‘dynamic organisation, [a set of] relationships that characterise the living being’. What emerges is an orderliness that grows new leaves and roots. If the lawnmower man is careful and the weather mixes both sun and rain, the chances are the orderliness will continue. A frangipani tree will grow.

This living wholeness is a quality made up of interconnections within the stick’s cells and also with the environment. Cycles of cell activity inside and time and weather outside repeat and changes build up. The first experience any of us had to see cuttings grow – weren’t we astonished in the same way as when we saw moths come of caterpillars in cocoons?

Exactly how the tree will finally be is anyone’s guess.

But somehow new branches will form as only frangipani do. Now we know much more than genes are required.

What are those missing qualities is the focus of modern research.

Some night, the scent of its flowers will reach out to moths and me. Go analyse the different chemicals in the crushed blossoms if you must.

But join me in assessing the other, effervescent qualities.

The ‘health’ of the tree, the interactions across species, the growth over time. That whiff of perhaps what the old Mayans knew as sacred.

Story & photo Mary Gardner ‘Oh, each branch will grow,’ said my neighbour, dropping another short piece cut from the tree. ‘Just stick it into the ground. Frangipani are like that.’

I have always had a soft spot for rescuing cuttings. As a child, they seemed to me like little chicks fallen from a nest. How important to rescue the fallen from such a fragrant tree as the Plumeria.

Sure, there is a native species and this one is a naturalised one from Central America.

But it’s not only my vulnerability to perfume flowers.

Think of the native vine hawk moth, a sphinx moth, which uses this tree. The tree is also held sacred by the Mayans.

Today, from a distance, the sticks look forlorn. The old leaves are all dried up on the ground. Three weeks of slow death. I cringe. But when I look at the tips closely, each of the bare stalks are swollen and green. Every one has two tiny new leaves which burst into the autumn weather. I grin. That’s auxins for you.

Auxins are plant growth hormones. Plant bodies are so alien to mammals. Their hormones are produced generally, rather than in obvious glands or organs.

The existence of hormones in plants was a mystery slowly unraveled in the fresh heyday of vegetable chemistry at the start of last century. The substances, found in one area, would be affecting certain aspects of growth in another.

The German scientist Frits Warmolt Went was the first to isolate an auxin. Similar to an amino acid, indole acetic acid promotes growth such as in the top buds and the leading edge of roots. It also suppresses growth of side buds. Auxin makes cells on the darker side of a plant elongate, making the tip of the stem lean into the light.

Auxins start to make cuttings into whole plants.

Masters of war on our doorstep Less than three hours drive from Byron Bay, cutting edge research funded by the US military is taking place at the University of Queensland where the world’s first scramjet flight in 2002 achieved a speed of 8,000kph over the Woomera Testing Facility, making history for the University’s Centre for Hypersonics. Scramjet engines capable of 16,000kph are planned so that the US can mount a pre-emptive, ‘prompt global strike’, using FALCON (Force Application on Launch from CONtinental United States).

Falcon is a revolutionary edge-of-space bomber capable of carrying 5,500kg of ordnance and delivering this from 453kg individual hypersonic gliders to target any point on the planet within minutes of order to do so. These glider bombs would hurtle with unerring accuracy towards their tar-

gets and release massive amounts of kinetic energy, in addition to their actual explosive charge (‘Australia’s role in arming the heavens’, Echo, April 26, 2006).

There is no reference to the essential part played by this scramjet research to the Falcon program in any of the University of Queensland’s or the DSTO’s (Defence Science Technology Organisation) media releases despite the acknowledgement that, ‘The most ambitious project in a $US459 billion defence spending bill is the Falcon… the cost of the vehicle has not been revealed but a spokesman for the Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency said the first test flight was scheduled for next year.’ (‘America pumps billions into space-age weapons’, Sydney Morning Herald, November 15, 2007). There is no acknowledgement

either by the government, for on September 26, 2006, I wrote to John Howard expressing my concerns about these issues but have never had a reply.

Australian scramjet research is being boosted by increased funding and by the appointment of Dr Russell Boyce of the University of New South Wales, at the Australian Defence Force Academy, to the DSTO Chair and Professorship in Hypersonics.

‘In November 2006 DSTO signed a $74 million HIFiRE Agreement with the United States Air Force that will comprise up to 10 hypersonic flight experiments planned for the Woomera Testing Facility over the next five years.’

(Minister for Defence Media Mail List, May 2, 2008).

This technology is being pursued without consideration of its profound military,

societal, legal and international implications. The Australian Hypersonics Initiative will increase the already thoroughly discredited US policy, endorsed by the Howard government, of unilateral pre-emptive conventional or nuclear strike. The effects of these initiatives will be destabilising and lead to the development of counterforce strategies by countries feeling threatened, like China, leading to a world less governed by collective security and one more prone to unilateralism and chaos.

Events of world shattering importance are happening on Byron’s doorstep: it’s time we raised our consciousness above parochial concerns of holiday letting, traffic hassles and drumming bans.

Domes part of future of housing, says innovator The 2008 Australian Innovation Festival is presenting the latest in design and technology. Titled ‘Innovation for Our Future’ the festival runs until May 31 – see more at www.ausinnovation. org.

Local Chris Brown, innovator and researcher behind DomeShells Technology, said, ‘The time could not be better to address some of the major issue concerning housing for our harsh conditions, our remote locations such as in mines and indigenous communities and for the ever obvious global climatic changes we are facing.’

Mr Brown said DomeShells has spent the past seven years in developing its technology and construction process.

‘Following stringent testing and with the support from the School of Civil Engineering at QUT, the curved panel sandwich domes have superior structural capabilities for cyclones and earthquakes, with exceptional energy efficiency for heat and cold and a fire resistant concrete exterior, which are considered essential for some of the harsh climates found around Aus-

tralia and the world.

‘Global warming is believed to accentuate the already extreme climate changes we have been seeing in recent times. DomeShells design and technology are at the very forefront of providing safe, sustainable and environmentally sound housing construction that is both, affordable and suitable for almost any environment or location.

‘The dome houses use virtually no timber or steel in the construction yet boast energy efficiency and insulation properties unsurpassed by any other construction style.

‘One of my more passionate projects is addressing the shortage of suitable housing across Australia including for remote indigenous communities using our dome technology,’ said Mr Brown, who has already had some enthusiastic responses from community members and elders from settlements around Alice Springs.

Over $20,000 worth of prizes including cameras, underwater housings, dive gear and a dive trip for two to Papua New Guinea were handed over to winning participants in seven categories.

‘Biggest winner was Ballina resident Mark Gray who scored both first prize in the SLR camera category as well as the Underwater Portfolio. Two local school groups went out with sponsor cameras to take underwater photos for the first time and the winning students walked away with an underwater photography course, diving vouchers and books.

‘The Marine Visions open medium art competition held as part of the Underwater Festival in conjunction with Retrospect Galleries saw over 100 entries including sculptures, photographs and some amazing fine art.

Over 300 people attended the launch event on Friday and it was pushing room only to get close to the works.

‘Winner of the fine art prize was Paul Colby with his work titled ‘Marine Playground’.

‘Part of this year’s Byron Underwater Festival was

also the Australian premiere screening of the anti-Jaws documentary Sharkwater by Canadian filmmaker Rob Stewart [see review in Seven]. The screening was held as a fundraiser for Australian Seabird Rescue in Ballina and organised in collaboration with the BayFM ‘Generator’ program at Byron Cinemas’ biggest screen on Saturday night.

‘The night was a sellout and the personal introduction to the film by world renowned underwater cinematographer David Hannan made the screening a

huge success.

‘Other highlights of the festival were the underwater photography clinics by Mathieu Meur, who flew in for this festival all the way from Singapore. His clinics were sold out quickly and participants were putting their new learned skills to test immediately. Mathieu who has written three books on digital underwater photography promised to be back next year for more workshops.

‘Last year’s guest of honour, Australia’s own underwater pioneer Neville Coleman was back this year to launch his new book the Nudibranchs Encyclopedia of Asia and Indo-Pacific. Neville is the author of over 60 books and well known for his passion for the underwater world.’

Bradbury needs a ticket to Burma and China Local filmmaker David Bradbury reports that he’s itching at the bit to bring local residents the stories behind the recent Burma cyclone and Chinese earthquake but can’t.

Recently the Frontline Film Foundation distributed a special edition newsletter for the Byron Shire. This was included as an insert in The Echo. The newsletter was primarily an appeal for funds as well as an update on the projects that David Bradbury is currently working on.

‘While the newsletter generated some funds from kind supporters in the shire who see these films as important, there was a disappointing response overall,’ says David.

‘In fact we are still trying to cover the costs of the newsletter.’

Due to insufficient funds it was not possible for David to go to Burma and China – locations of the recent natural disasters and related

Find out how to deal with Camphor Laurel in the most effective manner at a free workshop to be held from 9am-1pm on Sunday May 25th at the Bangalow Sports Grounds, near the Bowling Club on Bangalow Road.

The workshop will feature Janet and John Townsend who have a wealth of experience to share on using time and money most effectively in dealing with this major weed of our local rainforests and eucalypt forests.

Janet and John have been running these workshops in the Tweed district for several years now and they always attract a good crowd to see the demonstration of a variety of techniques to kill Camphor Laurels of all sizes, both with herbicides and without.

In addition, information will be provided on how to best manage Camphor Laurel infestations to help bring back our beautiful local forests.

The Townsends will discuss how although Camphor Laurels are a major problem for the long term well-being of our local flora and fauna, they are providing a range of crucial beneficial roles whilst we restore the native forests, and therefore need to be managed in the correct manner.

Smelling the solar wind at the Jonson Street roundabout Peter Shepherd How do you organise a trip beyond Earth? NASA are no help. Not that we want their help. We don’t want namby pamby white suits and logos and silly little sound bites with beeps. Gritty, is what we’re looking for. We want to smell the solar wind, be able to pull over and take some cool pics. Toilet stops.

Zero gravity should be fun, after all.

To the rescue is Warren Taylor. Passionate astronomer. Physics nerd. His suggestion: Start with a pumpkin. He hands me a list. On it are planets and their relative sizes compared to everyday objects. The sun is a pumpkin, about the size of a basketball. In the same scale, Earth is a millet seed.

Puts you in your place, really. And the place it puts me is the roundabout at Johnson Street in Byron. Sitting on the wall in the middle, to be exact, right beside the pandanus palm and its little fairy lights. I’m here because Warren has scaled out the entire solar system onto the map of Byron. This is something he does for his Astronomy students through ACE Byron Shire, and here at Johnson Street is this where the sun is, and our journey begins.

It’s hard to imagine, hard to grasp, the sun’s ginormous humungous fiery explosiveness. The millet seed and pumpkin gives me some grasp of the scale. But understanding that the sun, our middle-aged solar father, is 99 percent of the mass of

everything in the solar system, makes its importance somehow even more dramatic. What are we on this planet compared to that? I’m going to find out.

We’ve chosen a ’93 Ford Falcon. (It’s white – there may be last minute sponsorship, you never know.) Warren won’t be joining us so I’ve hired a navigator. Well, it’s her car – um, ship. I’m waiting for an auspicious sign to begin, and no sooner have I thought this than a bright orange Tarago curves past my eyes, with the message ‘Spaceship… For adventurers…’ emblazoned on the side. Only in Byron. I signal the navigator, and she brings the ship slowly into orbit beside me.

Only seconds later! and we’re at the police station, where Mercury would be.

Navigation Officer (4th class) Jurnee tells me that, compared to the pumpkin burning 50 or 80 metres behind us, Mercury is too small to see. It could be in the radiator by now. (With a surface temperature of 427 degrees celcius, it may reek havoc with the coolant.)

And then, less than a minute after leaving the sun/ pumpkin, we’re at the hospital: Venus. We stop to take in the view. To scale, Venus is a millet seed. It’s also a freaky place. Its day is longer than its year (it spins slower than

it orbits), and it orbits the opposite way to all the other planets. And with the atmosphere mostly carbon dioxide with sulfuric acid clouds, it’s an industrialist’s heaven.

While we idle beside the ‘emergency’ sign, gently floating past a reminder not to smoke, we try to calculate our speed. There are a lot of zeros. Suffice is to say, in about 100 metres we’ve passed light speed. In the industry that’s called Warp 1.

We give each other a Trekky nod, and accelerate past hitchhikers (‘Come on, Man, my air’s giving out!’).

Next stop: Earth.

Another millet seed. So much life on such a little speck. And there’s nothing like it. Like, nothing. On the corner of Dryden Street, where Earth would be, is a medical centre and a for sale sign. For some reason that for sale sign spooks me, as if the landlord’s fed up.

It’s only been three minutes since the sun, and already we’re leaving home.

It’s dark and spooky out there. We wind down the windows to let in some fresh vacuum.

We can’t find Mars. Jurnee’s turning the map every which way. Warren’s guide says Eden Nursery, but we can’t see it. ‘It’s a pinhead,’ says Jurnee. To scale, that is.

No wonder we can’t find it.

We start singing, ‘Like trying

to find a pinhead in a solar system.’ But then the navigators waving wildly, there’s red lights and drama: Asteroid belt. The debris from the birth of all this. Big rocks with their own names including Eros and Mathilde.

And then it’s Warp 3, the 80 zone, and it’s a long, long way to Jupiter. After the tiny spaces of the inner planets, this cruise starts to sink in for me the enormous distances.

According to Warren’s list, it’s at the chicken farm, and Jupiter’s a ping pong ball.

Already my mind is having difficulty with these distances and sizes. So far back to that pumpkin. And in between, invisible from here, a tiny seed with the Northern Rivers just a green thought.

Another big cruise. It’s getting quiet on the flight deck as the gaps increase. Saturn is at the roundabout to the highway. It’s a golf ball.We fly by, taking the challenge of holding the wheel constant as we do the rings down to the highway and Warp 5. From here, from this golf ball, it’s a long, long way to Uranus.

It’s the turnoff to Mullum.

And it’s a marble. Are you getting this? We’re freaking out, not even bothering to look for Neptune, a chick pea somewhere near South Golden Beach. We’re going the way of Pioneer 10 and 11,Voyager 1 and 2. The first of them left the system after 2003, off through the infinite cold. Voyager 2 has the phonograph record on it, with greetings, sounds and whale song. Here we are. Are we alone? The navigator breaks the window winder.

We’re heading for the last known stop in our solar neighbourhood: Mooball.

Pluto is a dust speck.We’ve

travelled 5,900,000,000km from the pumpkin, and the only sign of life is flat, black and white cows. We stop at the Café. Beyond here is the Oort cloud, the blast sphere of the sun’s birth, full of dirty ice blocks. It’s where comets come from. Beyond that is the Andromeda galaxy (or Murwillumbah, if you want to do some shopping), our sister galaxy that’s ever so slowly beginning to crash into us.

I want to go home. You know it? Blue, white, green, brown. Beautiful. Clouds. A billion different life forms.

Warren Taylor likes to lie down and watch the sky at night. Me, too. But I also reckon this: know your other neighbourhood, too. The one with magpies and fences and kids. Grab onto it as an anchor to the bigger miracle – that we are here at all, among all this; among those distant red suns 1000 times bigger than our little orange one. And blue ones. And green.

It’s taken billions and millions of years to reach this balance point of oxygen, solar wind, magnetics, gas and weather, and everything points to the fact that it is life itself which keeps it in this balance.

How stupid, how utterly derr, to cut and dice and toxify the only place we know, in all that space, all that space, to support life.

You could drive for billions of years and not find anyone to offer you a cup of tea.

he subject of companion animals regularly generates passionate debate between those for and against. In truth, all of the problems laid at the dog’s and cat’s paws can be traced back to a lack of human responsibility, education and compassion.

From hunter-gatherer to primitive agrarian, the relationship between companion animal and human held a respectful dignity that acknowledged the symbiotic bond between both creatures. In the industrialised world, however, animals have become another commodity – propagated, traded, neglected and abandoned.

Over 60,000 dogs are euthanased each year in NSW alone. That’s not counting cats, horses and other ‘pets’ that end up at one of the already-overcrowded and underresourced animal shelters or council pounds where they are generally also euthanased.

For those who love companion animals this scenario is a tragic one that could be avoided through awareness and education.

BARCO, a local lobby group that was originally formed to save the off-leash area at Brunswick Heads beach, has re-emerged with a community education focus to promote responsible dog ownership, and represent the rights of responsible dog owners.

Co-founder of BARCO Jill Ball says, ‘We realised early on that most non-compliant behaviour was based on a lack of knowledge so our first objective was to make people aware of what the legal requirements are.

Dog owners actually do want to do the right thing. We’ve also found that other interest groups are more tolerant of dogs in general when they see that dog owners are doing something about bad behaviour. When their concerns are taken into account they contribute to solutions, they also “own” the good outcome.’

Training at Mullum As part of the program of education BARCO recently began regular training classes on Sunday mornings at Mullum Showgrounds from 8.30am to 10am. The classes are designed for all dogs: young, old, large and small, and for all levels. The cost is only $5, all of which goes to running the classes.

Trainers Tarja (pronounced Taria) Rydman and Lissie Walton donate their time every Sunday morning out of a sheer desire to see

Happy pooches and owners in action at BARCO’s training session.

happy humans with happy dogs.

‘It’s a vicious circle when an owner stops walking their dog because of problem behaviour or just because they don’t have time,’ says Lissie. ‘The dog’s behaviour then worsens and the dog is either banished to the yard for a life prison sentence, normally becoming disruptive and barking with boredom, or kicked out to free roam, where it will potentially cause a nuisance to everyone, or dropped at the pound. The owner’s dreams of a family pet are ruined and often there is nowhere to turn for help.’

Strengthen the bond The classes are designed to develop and strengthen the bond between dog and owner. Through obedience training the dog develops respect for the owner and is, therefore, inclined to listen.

As pack animals dogs need an ‘Alpha’ leader. Without consistency, routine, exercise and leadership dogs make their own decisions, which inevitably results in problem behaviour.

‘Obedience training at any age can break that cycle,’ says Lissie. ‘A prime example is Angus, a five-year-old Labrador who was dumped at the pound due to his wild and uncontrollable behaviour. After a few months of obedience training and regular walks he is one of the most laidback and wellbehaved dogs in class.’

In practical terms BARCO’s aim is to move away from the negative picture that surrounds dogs and construct a more positive and responsible image around dogs and dog ownership. Tarja also believes that most inappropriate behaviour from owners and dogs is simply a lack of education.

‘Most people don’t know that if a dog is on a lead, then

it’s a good idea to put yours on one too,’ says Tarja. ‘Or to keep your dog on the lead on the access track until you get onto the beach, and not allow your dog to run or charge at other dogs. These are some of the things we cover in the classes.’

Essentially, good doggy etiquette and responsible ownership is what it is all about, without any judgements.

‘We work towards the future, teaching responsible dog ownership like not letting your dog free roam, picking up the poo, desexing and microchipping,’ says Lissie. ‘We also educate people about dog psychology, helping people to understand their dog’s behaviour and therefore modify it. If you know how to communicate with your dog, you’ll handle the dog more effectively. The classes will also eventually have different levels – from beginner through to competition standard, where people can enter State trials if they wish.’

Changing laws Many of the problems that continue to detract from companion animal ownership could be alleviated with the type of practical education offered in BARCO’s training sessions and with changes to current legislation, which promotes unbridled access to animals with little or no responsibility.

A Bill before Parliament, introduced by MP and Mayor of Sydney, Clover Moore, is currently attempting to prohibit the sale of all mammals in pet shops, at markets and through newspaper advertising, except in proscribed circumstances such as through a registered breeder, animal shelter, pound or veterinary clinic.

The Bill would contribute greatly to limiting undocumented access to ‘pets’. This is an important aspect

because most people who surrender dogs or cats (for one reason or another) are simply able to purchase another from a pet shop or backyard breeder with no documentation and no database to check their credentials as an owner.

In a worst case scenario a dog was recently surrendered to a local veterinary clinic because it ‘wandered and was uncontrollable’.

This is the third dog that this particular ‘owner’ has surrendered and, s/he was off to get another one.

The most tragic element to the commercialisation of dogs, however, is the puppy farms and backyard breeders who supply the ‘industry’.

Before you consider spending $200 to $500 on a puppy or a kitten from a pet shop or a backyard breeder, take a look at www.govegan.com. au/puppies/ for a real insight into the trade you will be funding.

Not an accessory For those who are responsible companion animal owners the joys of the bond forged with our four-legged friends is priceless. A companion animal is not an accessory; it is a living, breathing creature with needs and wants of its own.

Buying a dog or cat from a registered breeder or animal shelter ensures that the animal can be matched to the owner, and that some form of information regarding the animal’s care and needs accompanies the purchase.

As Rupert Sheldrake says in Dogs that know when their owners are coming home and other unexplained powers of animals, ‘We have a great deal to learn from our companion animals. They have much to teach us about animal nature – and about our own.’

Articles Perrow back with workshops and book

Woolworths – grand design for a country town

On the weekend of June 7-8, teachers, therapists, childcare workers and parents are invited to attend two different workshops with Susan Perrow at the Cape Byron Steiner School.

The Saturday workshop is an introduction to the art of storytelling with children through the use of simple

tutored a 150 hour Storytelling Unit at Southern Cross University. Over the last 14 years Susan has worked in teacher training in Australia, Kenya, South Africa, the UK and the US, specialising in storytelling and therapeutic story writing.

These workshops are the first that Susan will be run-

Luis Cristia of Luis Cristia Designs superimposed his computer-rendered image of the proposed Woolworths supermarket on the Station Street site in Mullumbimby. Luis says his image is accurate to within 300mm over 84m, and that a lot of his work is tendered in the Land and Environment Court. Of course the Woolworths reps at last week’s public meeting offered an image of the graffiti heaven softened by trees.

Snakes aren’t bad – just misunderstood: Rhianna

Teacher, storyteller, and author Susan Perrow.

As reptile handler for WIRES (the wildlife information, rescue and education service) in the Norther n Rivers, Rhianna Blackthorn spends much of her time rescuing and looking after snakes – and obviously she doesn’t share the fear that most people have of the reptiles.

‘Snakes are one of our most misunderstood animals. Most of the time, they are just trying to get out of our way,’ Rhianna says.

But she says we tend to create a life-long fear cycle by the way we teach our children to react to snakes.

‘When we get a puppy, we teach our children to interpret its body language, so we learn when to avoid a dog,’ she says. ‘But when it comes to reptiles, we only teach our children to fear them.’

Rhianna will be talking about snake awareness for gardeners and bushcarers at

props and puppets. The Sunday workshop is about ‘story-making’ and is connected to the subject of Susan’s recently published book, Healing Stories for Challenging Behaviour. In this second workshop, examples, ideas and techniques for writing healing (‘medicinal’) stories for children will be shared and the therapeutic use of metaphor explored.

With the support of a story-making framework, the participants will be guided to create their own stories addressing a range of challenging behaviours and challenging situations with young children.

Susan is a long-time local with an extensive background (25 years) in teaching and course facilitating.

In 1986 she founded the first Steiner Kindergarten in Byron Bay (Periwinkle), and in 2000 she wrote and

the Brunswick Valley Nature Festival at the Shearwater Steiner School, Mullumbimby, on Sunday June 1.

Published in the United Kingdom by Hawthorn Press, Susan’s book brings together the fruits of her work in story-making. It is richly illustrated with lively anecdotes drawn from parents and teachers who have discovered how the power of story can help resolve a range of common childhood behaviours and situations such as separation anxiety, bullying, sibling rivalry, nightmares and grieving.

The Australian launch of the book will be held at the Mary Ryan Bookshop in Byron Bay on July 18 at 6pm.

and openness. Instead of storing tension in the neck and shoulders you will have relaxed breathing, feel lighter, stand taller, feel more alive and centered.

Wellness is not about whether a person has disease. It’s about their internal experience of their body, a state of mind in which you are relatively invincible, nothing can ruin your day. You feel alive, vital and confident and experience a higher state of well-being.

Life is better when your spine is clear.

For young and old My confession is I’ve never healed anyone of anything. A gentle adjustment (non manipulative) to your spine resets your body from stress to ease allowing healing to take place. Tension dissolves from your body. Physical and emotional stress is replaced by peace

T

hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing like two neighbouring teams getting stuck into each other to give the footy fan that warm inner glow.

This Sunday at Red Devil Park, Byron Bay will host the mob from the other side of the highway, the Mullumbimby Giants. Clashes such as these always raise the heart beat, but this time around there is that little bit extra at stake, with the Giants coming to town as premiers and the Devils fancying their chances of cutting them down to size and cementing their hard earned place at the top of the Retravision NRRRL ladder.

For first-time coach Nathan Cross, who was a member of the Bayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last grand final winning side in 1996, it will be his boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sternest test so far.

From day one, they have played an adventurous style of rugby league that has seen them go undefeated through six rounds.

Carrying with them the bitter memory of being eliminated from last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s playoffs by Marist Brothers, the Devils travelled to Lismore and jump started Season â&#x20AC;&#x2122;08 by giving the Papists an unholy hiding. Since then they have gone from strength

to strength. With the sea breeze behind them and the crew on the hill providing the decibels in support, they grow an extra leg on their home ground â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Aprilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s whipping of Clarence was as racy as it sounds.

But the Blue and Golds wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be worried about any such palaver. They are the champions, and worthy ones at that. To come from behind and take the laurels in last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s premiership decider against Ballina, away, in the manner that they did was the mark of a truly outstanding outfit. They are well in contention again, having stumbled only once in the current campaign when they were spooked by the Ghosts on their road trip to Grafton.

Having the bye first up, the Giantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; season commenced with what, on paper, appeared a daunting assignment. A journey down the coast to confront the side they vanquished on that memorable day in October. If Ballina anticipated revenge they had another thing coming â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Mullum put the cleaners through them to the tune of 28-0.

Coach Damon Scottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s charges have been building steadily to the form

that has made Mullumbimby the most successful club in the competition â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they are at or near the top in all three grades.

The victories of both combatants have been built on formidable sets of forwards, but whenever was that not the case? Shrewd hookers, fearless props â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the confrontation between the pillars of the packs should be thunderous â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and tireless back rows. No quarter will be given or expected by second rower Ben Hill, Byronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rugged captain.

Conducting operations will be Jared De Thiery and Travis Drought, smart operators who will want to get as much good ball as possible to their outside backs who, with pace to burn, are capable of running in tries from all parts of the compass â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Byronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s diminutive Clarence Kelly got five in one game alone.

Leading the Giants from full back is the ever reliable Murray Brown, while the Devils will have the classy Ryan Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connell acting as custodian.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an even money bet from where Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m standing.

The whistle blows at 2.45, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bound to be a ripper. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be mad to miss it.

TO THE

MAX Meaningful and challenging roles for mature actors are scarce, so when director Jon Halpin sent Max Gillies a copy of Heroes it wasn’t long before the comic genius we came to love from The Gillies Report said yes.

‘I read it and within two pages I knew that it was a terrific piece of playwriting, it’s a beautifully crafted piece of theatre, it’s a joy to be performing a script like this, we have been playing it for over four months now, up and down the coast – getting full houses at all the shows – one of things you find is that it all feels serendipitous.’

Heroes was originally penned by French playwright, Gerald Sibleyras, but after Tom Stoppard, recognised as the world’s greatest living bard lent a hand to it with his adaptation, it took on new life. ‘The French writer is generous enough to say

the Stoppard version is better than the original!’ Max added.

The play is a three hander that features some of our more accomplished stage actors.

Max Gillies is joined on stage

by Dennis Olsen, a Gilbert and Sullivan specialist and Robert Alexander, a stalwart of the Bell Shakespeare company.

‘The three characters are all slightly brain damaged because they are survivors of the first World War and live in a sanitorium. One has schrapnel in his skull and he passes out every few minutes, the one who has been the most heroic in the war has shell shock and suffers from agrophobia and my character has a wooden leg. They are in a sense all waiting to die, but that’s the elephant in the room they don’t talk about. One develops a phobia that the matron is going to knock them

off so they all plan to escape.’

I suggested that it’s like One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest 20 years on and Max agrees that it shares some of the pathos and comedy. An experienced comedic actor, Max is enjoying the clever work Stoppard has done on the script.

‘I can’t tell you how comfortable I am, I have been fortunate in my career to work with very good writers, as an actor, you rely so much on your writers.’

The show has been packing theatres everywhere it goes, a reflection that a play starring old blokes about old blokes gets bums on seats. Bums of all ages!

A WEE STORY

They say that everyone should have an interest. Something outside of their usual career trajectory that gives them a raison d’etre beyond the daily grind. My mother once suggested collecting. Apart from children I could never really work out what to focus my attentions on. Disconnection notices, threats from the RTA and serious non compliance letters from the Taxation Department are about as far as I’ve gone. Until this week.

This week I started collecting urine. My own of course. I’m not a sicko. A fortnight ago I had a minor heart complaint which saw me dramatically whisked away in an ambulance to Tweed Heads, where I was knocked out and cardioverted with the big electric paddles.

Apart from the big square burn marks on my boobs and the sensation of being kicked in the chest by a horse, I found the whole experience rather uplifting. Or maybe I was just

relishing the attentions of Carlos the trainee nurse. Honestly, if I was going to script female porn he would be there. South American, rippling with muscles with tattoos snaking from his white uniform – he can plump my pillow any time. I felt like I was living a scene in Desperate Housewives. I am not sure it was all that good for my already racing heart. Interestingly, when they zap you for an instant you are dead. It’s like rebooting a computer. So for that second before my hard-drive kicked back in, I had technically left. A friend asked if I saw anything on the other side. Sad to say nothing, oh, except for Kerry Packer. So now for medical followup, I have to collect urine.

For a day. I imagined filling a few yellow lidded containers. But no.

It must all go in the same bucket.

I was shown what looked like a 2 litre juice container with a funnel. Great. I have to carry this enormous contraption with me for a 24 hour period. That would

terms with my bucket of wee.

Best not. As the day progressed my urine became my constant companion. It travelled with me in the car. It came to my afternoon coffee date and later that evening when I had to perform, it accompanied me to my gig. There is something incredibly satisfying about entering a venue, meeting management who are already nervous about whether or not you’ll offend their patrons and asking them to store a container of your urine in their fridge, without any explanation. The night drive home is usually such a lonely one. Me, on a dark road, with only ABC Evening talkback for company. But on this night I had my sloshing friend, strapped into the passenger seat. After an embarrassing, almost self conscious start we had finally bonded. As I pulled into the drive at the end of the 24 hour period, I realised that I had literally been taking the piss.

be OK if you were at home. But on urine collection day I was at work, and had a gig. Having to sneak to the toilet with a tampon in my hand has always filled me with embarrassment. Try slipping through the office with a giant container. It’s hard to be discreet. I looked like I was off for a grease and oil change.

I tried to look natural. ‘Just popping into the loo with this giant funnel.’ What happens once you’ve used the funnel? It seems a bit against workplace health and safety to rinse your urine funnel in the communal sink, but then putting it back into my handbag unwashed is even worse. Next dilemma.

Refrigeration. Urine must be kept cold. I pushed it into the back of the lunch fridge and hoped that no one would pop in and mistake it for apple juice.

My urine container took up most of the room. As my colleagues ate their lunch I wondered if I should tell them. That their sandwich had been on intimate

His musical comrades have decided to rally around and raise some dough for Charlie and his family as he faces possibly one of his toughest gigs yet. Performing on the day is Lisa Hunt Forever Soul, The Mighty Pragmatics, Mudcrab Boogie, Jerry & The Rollers, Ragga Jump, The Score and a host of others who are giving their time, hearts and soul to help a generous man. Charlie is also a determined bugger and still dreams of using his recently completed double-degree in music and education to contribute even further to the Northern Rivers music scene by sharing his love and knowledge of music with the next generation. But he’s up against a mighty, widespread and advanced foe and he, his wife and five kids will need all the help they can get. The $20 cover charge event will run from 12.30pm to 6.30pm and, thanks to the generosity of local businesses and the tireless efforts of volunteer organisers, a great selection of items will be raffled and auctioned throughout the afternoon.

BALLS TO YOU Far North Queensland’s best loved banana picker (turned full-time guitar picker) 8 Ball Aitken has just returned to Australia from his globe-

trotting travels to play at the Lennox Point Hotel.

Performing on Saturday from 9pm, 8 Ball Aitken and his band will be playing his first NSW show since his South Pacific tour. The young guitarist is no stranger to hard work. He spent his formative years growing up in a tobacco shed, which he shared with resident bats, rats, and snakes. With these experiences influencing every aspect of his music, 8 Ball Aitken performs contemporary honk, stomp, Aussie swamp tunes. It is real music about the real Australia, written and performed by a young Aussie who is proud to perform in his own Australian accent.

BUDDHA GOES CARBON NEUTRAL Music without the interference of technology is something that is very rare in this ‘day and age’. Pure music with no enhancements is the most intimate and personal way to appreciate someone’s expression from the heart in a song. For one night The Buddha Belly in Uki is abandoning electricity! Yes on Saturday power is being cut from The Buddha Belly, but with the warm glow of candles, soul filled music, a floor lined with cushions and the aroma of chai through the air, electricity won’t seem like such a necessity.

The evening’s performance will be by Katina, Gittoes Brothers, Orians Wish, Peter Miller and a secret guest act from South Africa. Organic

raw dishes and drinks will be available on the night. $15 at the door or $10 if you can bring a candle and cushion! To secure your place book on 6679 4188. Sorry, but this is a child free event due to the silence needed for the acoustic acts to be fully appreciated.

SPICE CORRECTION Last week we had some rather misleading information about the Old Spice Boys in the gig guide. It suggested that the launch of their new album was happening last week. Anyone who read my regular column will know this not to be the case as the long awaited launch of their new release: Welcome to the Spice Age is actually happening at the Byron Bowling Club on Saturday 31 May. Our apologies to anyone that turned up ready for a big night. While I’m mentioning it though, make sure you are there to support the boys because they really deserve it. From humble beginnings, with humble instruments they have infected the world with a warm enthusiasm for their unique and amazing music.

The Old Spice Boys are a flesh and blood reminder that necessity is truly the mother of invention. Entry to the gig will gain you a new CD.

fear it costs. After shows supporting Old Man River and then Lior, he went back into hiding as the frontman for indie rockers Lelu, and after many trips and many a meeting with the honcho’s of the ‘industry’ the rock’n’roll dream was lived and found to be completely uninspiring.

Once his first daughter was born, M. Jack Bee discovered songs he never dared pen before, simple love songs, honest odes about the fear it takes to raise one’s child (now children!). The 23 year old Bee now resides on the North Coast and the music is taking on a definite country tinge without ever losing its indie roots. If you wish to perform please get there early to put your name on the board. Doors open 7.45pm. Show at 8pm sharp, Admission $5. Tea, coffee and cakes available.

Thursday at The Drill Hall in Mullumbimby.

NO PLACE LIKE HONA An integral part of the iconic Kiwi band ‘The Herbs’, Willie Hona is a legend in NZ and throughout the South Pacific. The award winning singer and guitarist wrote or co-wrote many of the bands hits including Long Ago and Nuclear Waste. Willie has also recorded and/or played

with Bob Marley’s legendary band, ‘The Wailers’, Taj Mahal and Stevie Ray Vaughn. It must be nearly a year since Willie last played the Rails and this Sunday he’s back, this time with his nephews; Arama and Jade Hunt as well as local drummer, Rex Carter.

There may well be a couple of guest musicians sitting in as well. Music starts at 7pm.

TICKETS TO GURRUMUL Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu will be making his way to the Byron Community Centre for a special one off show during his national tour. This is a rare opportunity to hear the sensitive and soft music of this very talented man.

Tickets are limited and are selling fast. $38 at Byron Community Centre. 6685 5659.

JAZZ JAZZ AND MORE JAZZ If you were wondering how to get your Vitamin J this week, then front up to Blackboard @ The Beach in Lennox on Friday for Jim Kelly and Matt Smith Duo, then Saturday from 6pm Matt Hill is joined by David Ades on sax. If you are in the Ballina Hotel region and want to find something to your taste,

You could be in for a win, the grand prize will be $1000 and a gig at the Beachie, but in the meantime you might just score yourself a few hundred bucks! Thursday sees music engineer Mario leave the sound desk to prove that mixers can rock.

Tijuana Cartel play Friday.

The live performances are a concoction of multilayered grooves, splashes of Middle Eastern vocals, lilting Moby-esque soundscapes, Flamenco and slide guitar, electronic world beats and live percussion all randomly supported by poetic social commentary and song courtesy of MC Regan Hoskins. Then there’s Saturday and Sunday’s fare, The Sure Shot Hunters.

These dudes are a well oiled three piece Blues/ Rock machine! Hailing from Melbourne, their mix of Chicago style blues and Southern Australian rock draws from the timeless influences of Buddy Guy, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Muddy Waters all the way through to their contemporaries The John Butler Trio, Ben Harper and John Mayer.

CU LTU RE ART THE EVA OF FEHVA 48 Hours of Visual Arts is almost here. With art auctions, presentations, networking, workshops and more, this is a week of impressive programming that looks at broadening the skills and information available to artisans throughout the shire. FEHVA offers artists unique opportunities. One is a a series of stimulating presentations, panel discussion and conversations at the Bangalow A+I Hall on Saturday 31 May. From 9am there is the discussion, ‘Helping artists build their careers’ with speaker Tamara Winikoff, Executive Director, NAVA. NAVA is the National Association for Visual Arts.

Tamara can talk about what grants are available, how best to guide your career, and even how to negotiate gallery commissions for fledgling artists. $16.50 for a single session.

PAINTING YOUR JONSON A while ago I made a commitment to Dee Tipping for FEHVA that I would sit for the portrait prize. I don’t know why, but I said, look, in my early twenties to get through Uni I worked as an artist’s model, so I don’t mind doing it nude. At the time I hadn’t considered the overwhelming experience of having to view over 20 portraits of myself scantily clad. I don’t have issues around my body. I don’t mind sitting nude for a group of strangers. It’s just what happens to all those images? Also sitting for this year’s portrait prize is Ken Jonson. Ken is a remarkable international artist who is kindly lending his striking good looks to FEHVA. There are still a few spots left to

paint Ken, who unfortunately will be doing it fully clothed!

FILM WHEN NIGHT FALLS Byron Shire audiences are in for a treat when the 2008 Sydney Travelling Film Festival rolls into town.

Screening 30 May – 1 June at the Byron Cinemas, film lovers can expect to enjoy the best in world cinema.

This year’s program serves up stories from China, India, the Czech Republic, Italy and France. The festival opens with a home-grown treat; a special screening of the glorious Night the latest big screen adventure from award-winning director Lawrence Johnston (Eternity). An extraordinary cinema experience, Night is a celebration of Australia after sunset. Capturing the mystery, mood and magic of Australia after dark, Johnston’s film weaves images and stories from across the country with a lush and dramatic symphonic score from acclaimed composer Cezary Skubiszewski (The Book of Revelation, Two Hands).

Voices from all walks of life cut across the aural and visual landscape to tell of their ‘affair’ with the night – the pleasure and pain, work and leisure, truth and fantasy.

The result is mysterious, beautiful and universal. At the Movies presenter Margaret Pomeranz commented ‘What’s revealing about this film is that it makes us stop taking this natural event for granted, it taps into our subconscious, into our fears, our thrills at what can happen under cover of darkness.

[Night is] one of the most interesting, unusual and connective film experiences of recent times.’ Director Lawrence Johnston will be in Byron Bay to attend the screening of Night and will take questions from the audience. The film will be followed by opening night drinks in the cinema foyer to launch the 2008 program.

This year the festival program features a vibrant film of social conflict and brotherly love set in southern Italy in the turbulent 1960s and 1970s, Gus Van Sant’s latest cinematic journey – Winner of the 60th Anniversary Prize at Cannes, a healthy serving of fish couscous and family politics in the award-winning The Secret of the Grain, a sporting charmer from India starring Shah Rukh Khan that will have the whole family cheering, Tommy Lee Jones’ Academy Award-nominated performance in Paul Haggis’ (Crash) latest triumph and a trip to Transylvania with Romanian gypsies from master filmmaker Tony

Gatlif. The Czech Republic’s gorgeous capital features in two films – Prague starring Mads Mikkelsen (After The Wedding, Casino Royale, Unit 1) and the evocative Beauty in Trouble by SFF favourite Jan Hrebejk.

POETRY WORDS OF WISDOM Dangerously Poetic Press invites the public to celebrate the launch of Jean Ringland’s book, Paperbarks, on Saturday at 4pm at the Yogalates Studio at 72 Byron Street in Bangalow.

Jean has lived in the area since the 1980’s and was the founder of the Bangalow Writer’s Group. She taught speech and drama to many private students over the years and was a member of the Mullumbimby Women Poets as well as a member of Dangerously Poetic since its inception. Dr. Shirley Walker, author of Roundabout at Bangalow, will launch the book. As Dr. Walker says in the foreword, ‘The most obvious aspect of Ringland’s poems is their original and true-to-life images from nature. But there is another component; I would call it wisdom. Moving through all the poems is the wisdom of one who has looked carefully and thought deeply.’

The afternoon will include classical music, high tea of sweet and savoury treats and champagne. Loani McCrae, music teacher at the Byron Steiner School will play flute, Phillip Taubman has put two of Jean’s poems to music and will play guitar and Madeline De Lorme will sing.

A not for profit community organization that has flourished since 2002, this is Dangerously Poetic Press’s eighth publication.

COMEDY GIVE IT A GO I remember my most humiliating onstage performance. It was nearly 20 years ago on the Have A Go show. I did this really shit impersonation of a weather girl and got gonged off.

They must have thought I had potential because they got me back a month later to be a punk and I blew that as well. Character comedy has never been my highlight.

It took years to accept that I am just a talker. Standup comedy is just that. A conversation, albeit, a fast, funny and engaging one, with your audience. Why Not Stand Up Open Mic at the funky Jonson Street bar and restaurant is the perfect venue for new and established comics to take to the stage and hone their routines. Standup comedy is a tough game and there’s only one way to get any good at it – offering yourself up to a live audience. New comics learn about timing, audience response and how to craft their material with the audience in the active and appreciative role as humour critiic! Clubs like Why Not Stand Up play a huge role in helping comics get the skills they need to become professional. It’s a wonderful thing to be at the birth of a brand new fledgling comic – so when they are finally rich and famous, or at least, sort of well known and almost financial, you can say, I saw them when they were shit! I return as the MC, after what has kicked off as one hell of a busy year. Like an unmedicated teenager with ADHD I’ve been on a nonstop rampage. Kicking off the year as the Festival Director for The Big Joke Comedy Festival, then a one woman show ‘She’ll be Right’ performed here and at the Melbourne Comedy Festival a few seniors standup shows, about 16

PROFESSOR BLIX IS PLAYING AT DECOLLETAGE 28TH JUNE

Professor Blix is performing at Decolletage organized by a new crew named Repeat Offenders. A collective dedicated to creating a new platform for the wide variety of local artists. On 28 June the Byron Bay Community Centre will be host to their first instalment, a night of 18th century snobbery and filthy chatter, decadent performances and live electro glam surrounded by opulent decor.

Q: How will you contribute to the vast variety of performances at Decolletage?

A: ‘Well, Professor Blix will be providing a strange barrage of noise created by fiddle, floor tom and FX accompanied by a multilayered platter of delicious visuals and flanked by two movement artists.

In other words – I make live looped music and visuals with a healthy dash of performance art and a few drops of chaos.’

Q: Are there limitations to electronic music?

‘I do think there are because there are so many possibilities of sounds and effects I can create, but if I do everything at once it sounds like crap. I think making music electronically creates endless possibilities for sound so we have to consciously try to limit what we do to make it sound good.’

Q: Are the violin’s characteristics particularly useful for what you do?

A: ‘I love the violin. I think it’s the bow that really fascinates me. The attack of the bow can be so subtle or so abrupt it’s just an amazing way of making sound. I have started using it with an octave pedal so that it sounds like a cello and then slowly layering the sound so that it ends up as a huge orchestral texture.

When you include that extra low octave created by the octave pedal, the frequency range of a fiddle makes it really versatile. In this show I have used lots of different instruments (everything from a guitar to a typewriter).

Television Guide 1. Prime was due to screen The Stepford Wives with Nicole Kidman last Friday. Not sure if that happened or not because they also scheduled it for this week and then pulled it at the last moment. Are you keeping up?

It would have been a chance to compare the moviemaking skills of the seventies with the noughties because at midnight on Saturday SBS shows the 1975 cult classic version. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not so simple: William Goldman, who wrote the original screenplay, was outraged at the director casting his 40something wife, Katharine Ross, in the lead, thus undermining the storyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s point that men prefer young dollies to real women, even if or especially if they are actually robots. Nicole of course can play both bunny and brainy.

2. On Friday, Saturday and Sunday ad nauseam, SBS revels in the orgy of camp that is the Eurovision Song Contest. Just so we get the point, after the Saturday dose of overdressed and undertalented performance the station will also treat us to the guilty pleasures of Abba The Movie (9.30pm), an Australian production that has been screened a few times before. Well, dozens of times actually.

TAURUS: Tuesday’s intense full Moon teamed with a stressfully aspected Venus could stir up strong emotions and dramatic reactions. But wait, there’s good news too: which is that late week/ weekend socializing looks likely to produce some finance-boosting ideas and opportunities.

CANCER: If Tuesday’s moody full Moon has you feeling introspective rather than outgoing, then use its energy to make positive changes. If something’s coming to an end, treating the situation as a new beginning will go a long way towards making it one.

LEO: Your Majesty’s dynamic style won’t suit everyone this week, so don’t be too hard line – clever compromise can bring even the stormiest scenes to a satisfying outcome all round. Keep a cool head

LIBRA: Tuesday’s forceful full Moon could bring hidden information or suppressed feelings out into the open – confronting, but an opportunity for healing.

Drama apart, it’s a week of bright ideas and hot shopping possibilities – just don’t get involved taking sides in anyone else’s arguments.

SCORPIO: Take care on the road this week, especially around Tuesday’s blue full Moon in Scorpio – an intense but also auspicious time for radical changes. Complex issues won’t readily respond to black and white, cut and dried solutions, so think outside the square.

SAGITTARIUS: Right now a little changing, a little rearranging would

CAPRICORN: A take care of business week, but you already do that in your sleep. Sun/Mercury’s joint influence in the sign of the whizzkid Twins stimulates that Capricornian wit and revs up your energy for some judicious networking and financially rewarding socializing.

AQUARIUS: A good week to take action about something you’re unhappy with. Timing’s crucial though, so be aware of the appropriate moment to push forward and when it’s better to stay still and take stock. Tuesday and Friday are both dicey – consider them watch and wait days.

PISCES: This week’s astral energy moving from sensual to mental makes it easier for Pisceans to be more objective.

Just in time too, because right now others want to get things done with a minimum of fuss, complication or emotional D & Ms.

nobody does it better® The search for perfection in sport frequently holds more attraction for both participants and spectators than the mere quest for victory.

The 2008 AFL season is more exciting because Geelong looks capable of becoming the first team to complete a perfect season; a dominant team ‘merely’ winning a premiership would be mundane.

New World Snooker Champion Ronnie O’Sullivan is a pleasure to watch because his attempts to play at his best transcend any challenge from his opponent. (O’Sullivan walked out of a finely-balanced match last year because he decided that he was playing ‘crap’.) At the recent snooker world titles, O’Sullivan seemed to gain far more satisfaction from winning a single perfect game in the quarter-finals than from capturing his third world title.

CI NEMA IN THE SHADOW OF THE MOON IIn a 1961 speech, President Kennedy committed the United States to putting a man on the Moon before the end of the decade. Against a tumultuous backdrop of assassinations, race riots and the Vietnam War, NASA embodied the nation’s more positive ‘can do’ mentality and Kennedy’s call was answered within eight years. It was a phenomenal accomplishment, one that makes you wonder what might yet be achieved if only the Great Republic would similarly apply itself to the challenge of climate change. The movie’s tone is set with footage from the sixties accompanied by the Byrds’ breezy ‘Hey, Mister Spaceman.’ Then we meet ten of the astronauts who were involved in the missions, which ended in 1972, as they are now.

To a man they are proud but unassuming and, with a glint in their eye and an undiminished belief in the ideal that drove them, you see clearly what Tom Wolfe was getting at when he described them as having ‘the right stuff.’ Though primarily concerned with the first landing in 1969, it also fits in a lot of breathtaking archival footage, including of events surrounding the near tragic malfunction aboard Jim Lovell’s Apollo 13 (the subject of Ron Howard’s fantastic 1995 film of that name). The most entertaining raconteur of an uncommonly articulate group is Mike Collins, the bloke who stayed behind in the module when Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin had their historic moment. His recalling what it was like sitting atop the rocket as it blasted off is refreshingly homespun in its language and delivery.

And of all the thoughtful, heartfelt observations, Collins’s memory of looking through his peephole, seeing our planet and thinking ‘what a fragile little thing it is out there’ is terrifically moving. Almost as touching is Aldrin’s sheepish revelation that, as he descended to the Moon’s surface, he had to pause to fill his urine bag. Philip Sheppard’s music, reminiscent of Aaron Copland’s ethereal frontier scores, is superb – it makes the slo-mo close up of the Apollo 11 fuselage lifting off unexpectedly but profoundly beautiful. The only disappointment is that, for whatever reason, the reclusive Armstrong did not make himself available. This movie did me a power of good and I left the cinema lighter of heart than when I entered and with a restored sense of life’s infinite possibilities. Outside, above the tawdriness of Jonson Street, a gibbous lilac moon floated serenely. What a wonderful world. ~John Campbell

SHARKWATER Man’s capacity to cruelly treat his fellow man is surpassed only by his blithe disregard for the welfare of other creatures – charismatic large mammals such as whales notwithstanding.

With nature’s fine balance all but irreversibly out of whack, our species’s mercenary imperative is coming back to bite us. Shock horror! The unrestrained slaughter of wildlife is now threatening our own existence. Canadian filmmaker Rob Stewart makes that point ardently in this at times harrowing documentary, but you suspect that the argument of self-preservation is one FULLY AIR-CONDITIONED EVERY WEDNESDAY ALL SEATS ALL SESSIONS $8 ONLY

he presents as a last straw.

More important to him is the moral question of how we relate to other animals. He is specifically interested in sharks, the love of his life.

His passion opens your eyes to the beauty of them, but no commentary is needed to be persuaded of the barbarity being unleashed on them as a result of the booming popularity in Asia of the ‘delicacy’ of shark fin soup.

To cater to this demand, according to Stewart, 15,000 sharks are killed in the time that the movie takes to run. I did not disbelieve the figure, but I would have preferred him to quote his sources – that none of his stats are verifiable only provides cracks for rapacious envirothugs to pour their profitmargin invective through.

‘Jaws’ did nothing for the PR of these ancient fish and because (as is noted here) ‘we love to hate’ it allowed us to revile them even more.

But can you imagine the uproar if it were Koala’s ears being hunted? The crock of cultural relativism makes the situation more critical, for who would be so suicidally unPC to say that the Chinese are uncivilised because of their cuisine?

Certainly not us, with our battery hens, live sheep exports and cattle feedlots.

A heroic character to emerge is Paul Watson, commander of the Sea Shepherd. This silver haired rogue has decided that, if nations sign treaties of agreement and pass international laws to protect the oceans and all that’s in them, then he’ll do his damnedest to see that those treaties and laws are observed. Stewart spends time aboard ship with him as they confront Guatemalan fishermen involved in the indiscriminate practice of long-line fishing. A film of the bestial and the beautiful, it might at least give you pause to wonder where your food is coming from the next time you sit down to clutch your forks and knives. ~ John Campbell

THE BLACK BALLOON When Thomas (Rhys Wakefield) and his family move to a new home and he has to start at a new school, all he wants is to fit in. But when his pregnant mother (Toni Collette) has to take things easy, his father Simon (Erik Thomson) puts him in charge of his autistic

older brother Charlie (Luke Ford). Thomas, with the help of his new girlfriend Jackie (Gemma Ward), faces his biggest challenge yet.

Charlie’s unusual antics take Thomas on an emotional journey that causes his pent-up frustrations about his brother to pour out – in a story that is funny, confronting, and ultimately heart-warming. The Black

Balloon is a story about fitting in, discovering love and accepting your family.

The Black Balloon is a universal story which takes the audience on a journey with a family that may seem on the surface unusual, even dysfunctional; but in reality they cope with life with great insight, understanding, and humour. ~ Lounge Cinema

CATERERS

Victoria Cosford If any meal deserved that deliciously old-fashioned title â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;supperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, it would have to be Sunday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. The Concise Oxford Dictionary deďŹ nes it (rather clumsily, it must be said) as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;the last meal of the day when dinner is not the lastâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, while the Macquarie broadens it to include â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;a very light mealâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; or â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;any late evening meal, often one served at a social entertainmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

The tail-end of the weekend, this is a repast which, for many people, is either a cobbled-together affair of leftovers, whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the fridge or the kitchen cupboards, or a takeaway, with the suggestion of comfort implicit. Sunday night throughout my otherwise culinary exciting upbringing was my least favourite because it was the night when my mother relaxed her considerable imagination completely, serving up cold slices of whatever she had roasted the previous evening alongside iceberg lettuce and fat wedges of refrigeratorcold tomato. Clearly there are scores of exceptions, but certainly for most of the people I know or to whom I spoke, this particular meal is invariably cosy, homely, makeshift, sentimental â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and above all easy. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as if all our tensions have been poured into the duties and the pleasures of the two historically non-working days of the week â&#x20AC;&#x201C; even given the fact that so many people work on weekends too â&#x20AC;&#x201C; so that by the time Sunday evening presents itself we can, at least metaphorically, collapse.

While my partner and I regularly take the lazy, expensive option of homedelivered pizzas, there are occasions when I will feel creative, and take stock of what is on hand.

Interestingly, some of the best meals I have cooked have emerged from these; furthermore, these are meals I have free-styled, as it were, whipped up out of imagination rather than recipes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; although perhaps the enjoyment is heightened by precisely that degree of resourcefulness.

Several Sundays ago I found myself peeling, slicing then layering potatoes in a baking dish with olive oil, garlic

cloves and onions and then, as they began to soften, adding tinned spinach, tinned salmon, semi-dried tomatoes and a hearty slug of wine and continuing to bake it until it had all melded together into a truly gorgeous â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;bakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; (a word not at all doing it justice). I crumbled some Persian fetta over the top before serving it to my equally admiring partner. One of my colleagues â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who conďŹ ded that her parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; name for Sunday night dinners was, evocatively, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Snap and Catch itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x201C; described a similar experience, a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;sort ofâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; hot potato salad combining potatoes with olive oil, yoghurt, smoked trout, sultanas, mayonnaise and apple, which was utterly fantastic. (And because this woman is anyway a superb cook I can well believe it.)

Pasta dishes are commonly concocted Sunday night suppers, my favourite standby being the Peter Gordon (NZ chef) one of sizzling masses of whole peeled garlic cloves in masses of (preferably extra virgin) olive oil, then adding a punnet of cherry tomatoes (lately Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been buying imported Italian tins of them) and lots of fresh basil and ďŹ nishing the dish off with fetta cheese. Lacking fresh basil recently, I substituted dried oregano â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and it was just as gorgeous.

Both Marina and Margarita from Red Ginger owe their Portuguese backgrounds to their Sunday suppers, the comfort of a vegetable tortilla, or the more poetically named Roupa Velha, which actually translates as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Portuguese Old Clothesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, and resembles an un-set tortilla ďŹ lled with leftover vegetables. Eggs on toast are a particularly popular Sunday supper, except for Ed the architect whose mother relentlessly served Sunday night eggs to a point where he is unable to contemplate the notion. And Rachel from next door steams up vast quantities of vegetables and eats only that, penance, presumably, for just having enjoyed the weekend a little too much.

For lovers of cheese, there is a thoroughly cheesey event on in Brisbane the weekend of 14 and 15 June. The Brisbane Cheese Awards, which attracts entries from most of Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s specialty cheese producers, will be showcasing around 300 cheeses in 10 categories â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the largest range of Australianmade cheeses ever seen in one location. A family event, the weekend will include free tastings of award-winning cheeses and a wide range of other delectable produce. There will be gourmet goods for sale as well. For full details call Nikki Shrimpton on 07 3395 3883.

And on a local note, there has been another cheese stall at the Byron Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Market lately: three female cheese-makers from the Tweed who are making and selling, among other varieties, their own luscious labne (yoghurt cheese).

Sports Roundup with Eve Jeffery

results@echo.net.au

New Brighton netballer is Queen of the court Eve Jeffery

When I was a kid I wanted to be queen. Queen of the school, queen of the court, queen of those gorgeous little neck to knee royal blue dresses with the thick cotton piping on the hem and collar, queen of the world. It all amounted to the same thing: The netball Queen.

I can seriously remember as a wide eyed seven year old having netball envy.

Cute little Evie (I was actually cute once, and little), standing in awe, toes on that thick white line, watching, watching, watching, as the big girls played the game of goddesses, floating through the air on angel wings.

Whistle, pass. Pass. Step pass. Step. Step pass. Pass.

Step, step, step, pass. WHISTLE!!!! ‘That’s stepping.’

‘No it wasn’t. It was a hop and a step.’ ‘Dear it was stepping.’ ‘No. It was hop step.’

‘Now dear it was stepping.

Give me the ball.’ ‘Play on!’

Whistle, pass, Pass. Step pass. Step shoot, miss, shoot, goal. Whistle!

The language of love – ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

I began nagging early.

Quietly at first because I knew there was no way I was going to be allowed, a mere grade two-er, to play with the team, but by the end of the year everyone had a pretty good idea that I

wanted to play.

It was in grade three that my nagging started in earnest and by the time I was half way through grade four I added watery puppy dog eyes and they could resist the barrage no more.

Now I was an average sized 9 year old, but I didn’t mind that they gave me a size 12 uniform. I had one and that was all that mattered. Mine. Miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine.

My next challenge was to convince the teacher that she should let her less than stellar student have three hours out of the classroom each week to play in the inter school comp.

The nagging process began once again and within weeks I was skipping out of class and on to the courts.

Heaven on earth.

I played netball at least twice a week for the next seven years but then two things happened. Boobs and boys. I had an abundance of one and scarcity of the other, my body betrayed me on one side and my heart on the other. In the end netball became too hard.

The queen burnt out at the ripe old age of sixteen.

At the age of seventeen Karly Moir has somehow managed to be a netball queen, work part-time and

have a life off the court.

Karly who also started playing when she was nine, usually plays wing defence or centre and has a long track record of excellence in netball. Because of this she has been chosen to attend the North Coast Academy of Sport (NCAS) for the second year in a row.

‘Everyone around me plays netball,’ says Karly, ‘Everyone concentrates in netball, everyone gets to know each other. I love the intensity. People think it’s a pussy game but it’s actually really aggressive and exciting, especially in a serious game.’

Karly is in year 11 at Mullum High studying art and society and culture as well as a day each week studying tourism at Kingscliff TAFE. Along with her studies, Karly has a week chock full of netball, playing the interclub competition for Byron Bay, rep netball for Brunswick-Byron and her sessions at the NCAS. Her life is certainly full of the game but she says she really enjoys the grass roots netball at the club level. ‘I enjoy it because we all know each other pretty well. I don’t like training much but I love the adrenalin rush of the game.’

At the NCAS, Karly attends a 6 hour training session once a month which is

designed to not only develop athletic skills but to learn and grow in confidence and other areas connected to sport.

Most netballers find themselves resting over the summer but between the three teams, she finds herself on the court all year with only a few weeks off for Christmas.

As well as netball, Karly also plays competition basketball, works part-time at the Ocean Shores Bakery and manages to squeeze in a class at the Brunswick Valley School of Dance once a week. She sees her horizon as a big place and not limited to the things she already knows.

‘It would be great to play for the Sydney Swifts or a team like that. That would be a fantastic opportunity, but I think I would like to do a bit of travelling before I start any other things.’

Karly is a genetic netballer, her mum Lesley was a player and now is busy as a coach for local and rep games.

Karly sees netball figuring strongly in her own future.

‘I reckon I will always play netball. My mum did and I think I will always be in some sort of comp. I would like to be a professional. I keep developing and improving and I can see myself getting to that level.’

I can see you getting there as well Karly, just don’t grow into a DD cup.

Full moon AFL and Rugby Magpies flying high

The Byron Magpies continue to develop as the ‘teams to watch’ as hard work, solid coaching and local and parental support pay off. Last Sunday saw the Maggies U/12s and U/14s play tight and focused games against Maclean at home on Shultz Oval, and were rewarded with convincing wins.

Under the watchful eyes and careful guidance of coaches Jaimie Touzel U12s and Shaun Rehn U14s, the teams have shown a great effort climbing the ladder to number 2 this week.

Red Devils swat pesky Hornets John Campbell Confidence is a priceless commodity in sport. When it infects a football team, as it has Byron’s Red Devils under the guidance of coach Nathan Cross, its benefits are manifold.

Sunday’s 44-12 demolition of Cudgen Hornets was a classic example of a side with self belief and commitment having lifted to a higher level of performance.

Three penalties in the opening seven minutes had the visitors camped in the Bay’s red zone. With all the ball, they managed a try in the corner and a lead they maintained only until centre Michael Chapman went over with room to spare after chiming in at the end of a cross field passing raid.

Jared De Thiery’s conversion attempt hit the upright, but the assuredness with which the Devils got the equaliser did not bode well for Cudgen.

Soon after, hooker Eli Colbey scored from dummy half on the back of Byron’s more mobile forwards’ storming raids up field.

Though still early days, the home side’s ascendancy was already established.

When beefy second rower Alex Butchies threw the

ball to crowd favourite Clarence Kelly, the little bloke, with nowhere to go, conjured a remarkable try by threading a blanket of defenders in a dazzling run to the corner.

Reece Vincent. Their loss was barely noticed as the replacements stood strong behind regulars Butchies and Mick Lambert and inspiring captain Ben Hill.

He got another, as did winger Duane ‘Hegarty’ Cahill, for the Devils to be cruising 28-8 at oranges.

It was a dominating display, especially given the absence from the pack of Simon Kelly, QLD Unis rep Matt Ross and US bound

patrols the rucks like a bloke who is really narked about not having been around to join up with Lee Marvin in The Dirty Dozen.

The second stanza was at first like déjà vu all over again, as Cudgen put the acid on Byron with a run of

possession near the Bay’s line, but the Devils’ defence was simply too good.

Having weathered that storm, Tom Merrit gathered an invisible offload from Hill and scorched the sideline with a fifty metre run before finding Chapman supporting inside for his second try.

That so many of their points are scored by the three-quarters is a reflection of the brand of football being produced by Byron this year.

Linking the speed with the grunt is the silky combination of half De Thierry and tall five-eighth Tobin Cupples, both of whom have vision and a fine kicking game.

Cahill got another fourpointer after a neat get’n’give from Kelly, who registered his third on the bell.

Now for the big one next Sunday.

hard, with their eyes firmly set on the next game against Ballina, and winning this year’s grand final.

Stay tuned...

Bangalow beat Byron in rugby local derby Saturday’s local derby became a demolition act as Bangalow ran over a lacklustre Byron Bay outfit, fiftytwo points to three.

With both teams playing for the Cromwell/Leece Trophy, it was Bangalow who gained the early ascendancy with Captain Jock Craigie scoring a soft try through the middle; his first in over three years at the club.

In the battle upfront Bangalow excelled in all facets of play, dominating the set pieces and stamping their authority at the breakdown.

Second rower Greg Holland marshalled the pack well before succumbing to injury The competition kicks off at 7.30am, with the most contestable surf break being chosen daily, the competition site will be advertised outside Lennox News and signs will be posted opposite the Lennox Point Hotel.

while breakaway Simon Leighton displayed once again why he is considered to be one of the finest flankers in the competition. Out wide Byron Bay seemed unable to contain the aggressive Bangalow backline with fly-half Richard Collins dictating the terms. Yet to concede a try this season Bangalow scrambled well at times, quelling any ideas that Byron had of crossing the line.

Already facing a substantial deficit Byron Bay settled with taking three points late in the first half, signalling virtual capitulation to the well-oiled Bangalow machine.

The level of vituperation flung in the direction of the Woolies reps at last week’s public meeting may have been emotionally satisfying, but it won’t register as a valid planning objection with the Department of Planning.

Those who want to make a submission are urged to do so by Friday to The Director, Coastal Assessments, NSW Department of Planning, GPO Box 39, Sydney NSW 2001. Inquiries to Paula Tomkins on (02) 9228 6397 – see details www.planning.nsw.gov.au/asp/das.asp.

■ ■ ■ ■ And Cr John Lazarus’s invitation to Woolies reps to ‘fuck off’, plus a few comments which could be regarded as defamatory, is not your typical peace, love and brown rice greeting for which this region is supposedly renowned and leaves little room for negotiation.

His behaviour will also make Council’s legal team nervous about the possible impact on ratepayers’ money. Can we expect another slap on the wrist from Council’s conduct committee or will all councillors take up usually deleted expletives as the new norm?

■ ■ ■ ■ It’s another interesting week in Development Application Land. Moves are finally afoot to redevelop the former Stewarts Motors site in Dalley Street, Mullumbimby, with plans for a new building, shops, offices and a restaurant. The North Coast Area Health Service also has a DA in to subdivide land off Ewingsdale Road as a start on the long-awaited Byron district hospital.

■ ■ ■ ■ Speaking of planning, Frank Sartor must be listening to the ‘mums and dads’ because he’s deleted some of the more draconian measures

appeared. (all in their twenties). They were bashed and robbed. Beware walking home late!’

■ ■ ■ ■ It goes on: a young man on a bicycle got hit by a 4WD behind the Mullum ExServices Club on Tuesday May 13 – the driver took the young man home but the bike is a write-off, so could the driver kindly ring Daniel on 0419 251 058 or 6684 3298 and offer something towards a new bike as it’s his only way to get to work?

Thanks.
