Old and Gold brings out bargain hunters

Students from the Brunswick Valley School of Dance got into the spirit of bargain hunting on the pavement outside Gypsy Le Fay, when they hosted one of the 59 ‘All Town’ garage sales.

Story & photo Eve Jeffery The population of Brunswick Heads swelled by an estimated 5,000 on the weekend for the annual Old and Gold festival, encompassing the All Town Garage Sale, the Second Hand Fair and the Inaugural Brunswick Heads Marbles Championships. Despite the threat from menacing clouds, the weather remained dry as punters scoured the town for their own piece of ‘precious’.

The inaugural Marbles Championship was a huge hit with 21 highly competi-

tive mibsters vying for prizes in three categories. The under 10 winner was James Greenwood, the winner in the under 16 group was Thea Shields and in the open division, Cawongla ring-in and avid marble collector Andrew Hanlon took away the 2008 title.

‘We had a huge ring of spectators for the championships,’ said organiser Mary Ashton. ‘I can see it being an ongoing annual competition and Bruns becoming the home of the “Big Marble”.

‘It was a great event which was as simple as drawing a

ring on the ground and heads down, bums up. It didn’t cost anything and everyone went away with a smile on their face.’

The Brunswick Valley School of Dance had a successful garage sale fundraiser outside Gypsy Le Fay in Mullumbimbi Street with kids and mums performing selections from past concerts, an ongoing entertainment as backdrop to the bargain hunting. Spectators were treated to excerpts from WeWill Rock You and Moulin Rouge while they hunted down elusive treasure.

Coorabell students green up on eco architecture Story & photo Lou Beaumont Architects Lisa Strudwick, Mel Zugai (ZSA Zugai Strudwick Architects) and Sam Zaher (Zaher Designz) teamed up with Coorabell School to give the students hands-on experience in being young eco architects.

Coorabell School principal Susie Boyle told The Echo, ‘We have been really fortunate to have had three local architects, Lisa, Mel and Sam, donate their time to work with the students on their “Living Land” unit. The design and model of their environmentally sustainable houses have been incredibly motivating and rewarding for the students. Our whole parent community has been extremely impressed with and appreciative of the professional input into the children’s learning.

‘Moreover, that particular unit requires the students look at sustainable buildings and how we directly affect

the environment with what and how we build, so when ZSA approached me last year it was a perfect match to the curriculum.’

Lisa Strudwick of ZSA said, ‘What we brought to the students was pretty much the same program as first year architecture at university.

‘The project started with the imperative site visit and looking at other precedents, then the students start thinking about their own green designs. In groups, they began to really think about the designs, not just rote learning. They started their floor plans and through consultations with myself, Mel and Sam, the designs evolved and eventually then became three dimensional scale models.

‘Given examples of architecturally designed dwellings and poorly designed houses, the students were more than capable of identifying design errors or benefits with regard

to orientation, internal layout, landscaping, or materials used, for example.’

Sam Zaher adds, ‘It was a unique project that each student seemed to thrive in.

I saw that each member of the team had their time in the sun.

‘Each was able to take charge at different times. It was all very hands-on and I think it is for that reason they have retained the information so well. About half the class now say they want to be architects!’

Mel Zugai said, ‘I was just amazed at how quickly they caught on! These students already have a good foundation of environmental knowledge which makes me think that by the time they are our age they will really be driving change in the project home market.’

Teacher Sam van der Toom said, ‘It was great to see the kids working in teams so well and getting so excited continued on page 2

Forum asks the big questions The Byron Social Forum this weekend offers an innovative way for Byron Shire residents to discuss and develop actions around the theme ‘Is Another Byron Possible?’ The Forum invites visionary thinking from invited speakers and from audience participants on how a future Byron Shire will function to meet com-

munity needs.

On Friday, after a brief spell of entertainment including a performance by Allegro Gone Troppo, Kerry O’Brien will present a panel of six local speakers to talk briefly on one topic related to the theme ‘Is Another Byron Possible?’ The topics are: Environment; Indigenous Issues; Business;

Social Services; Culture; and Youth.

‘This approach is intended to trigger forward thinking discussion and suggestions by the audience, who can either contribute to the chosen topics or identify alternative topics for further consideration,’ say organisers. ‘It is Coorabell School students proudly display their green home models complete with astroturf landhoped this will lead to lots scaping, ponds and rainwater tanks. Back, from left, teacher Sam van der Toom and mentor archicontinued on page 2 tects Sam Zaher, Lisa Strudwick and Mel Zugai had as much fun on the project as the students did.

to be working with real architects. Some students are more conceptual thinkers and others stronger logical thinkers, some older and others younger, so different students found their strengths in different parts of the process. ‘Even at their young age, some students get overwhelmed by what’s happening around them, to their environment speciďŹ cally, so it’s nice to see them find hope through learning individuals can really make a difference just in how they design their homes.’ Both the architects and Coorabell School are keen to continue their relationship in future years. So mutually beneďŹ cial and enjoyable was the project that they wish to encourage other schools and professionals to join forces.

Bernie Petry, right, president of the Suffolk Park Progress Association, presents Ray Darney, Byron Shire Council’s director of planning, development and environmental services, with a petition of 734 signatures opposed to the proposed rezoning of the land at 183-205 Broken Head Road, Suffolk Park. ‘A commercial development on the site is totally out of character with the village feel of Suffolk Park, and would strongly affect the quality of life of its residents,’ says Mr Petry. ‘The petition procedure was simply that a sheet was available at several locations in Suffolk Park, including the shops at Clifford Street. There has been no pressure campaign to actively solicit signatures. With such a low key approach, we are confident in saying that a large majority of residents oppose the rezoning.’

Local film tracks the food miles Local filmmaker Susie Forster has written and directed a five minute short film about food miles. Starring local teenagers Lucy Serret, Juanita Ebbs and Heiti Miller (pictured), the film depicts a growing awareness in our community of the connection between global warming and the long distances food has travelled to reach our supermarkets.

Food miles is a term that describes the distance food has travelled from paddock to plate and is a way of assessing the environmental impact of the food we eat, or carbon ‘foodprint’. ‘It’s carbon emission madness,’ says one of the girls, referring to the trucking of food around Australia and its import from overseas.

Set inside a suburban home, the soundtrack of the movie features local musicians Black Deck Rehearsal

Byron Bay community at risk, says BU After receiving the safety and security audit conducted by NSW Police in Byron Bay earlier this year, Byron United is calling on Byron Shire Council to work with it on recommendations to ensure that the community is not placed at risk.

Key recommendations of the report included better maintenance of areas in the CBD including the rapid removal of graffiti and vandalism and removal of overg rown landscaping; improved street illumination

by Council in the central CBD and parks; improved illumination of business premises at night paying particular attention to underneath verandahs and at the back of businesses; and the improvement of main intersections in town which are heavily utilised by vehicular and pedestrian traffic which would minimise conflicts between the two.

Byron United president

Explore some of the amazing national parks and bushland in the area.

Ed Ahern said the report had been forwarded to all Councillors and Council staff and that in light of the positive interaction between the group and Council staff he was genuinely hopeful that together they could make some immediate and beneficial changes. ‘This is something that requires the whole community to work together on to ensure that safety and security is a top priority,’ said Mr Ahern.

BU’s Beautiful Byron Committee has already been urging businesses to remove graffiti. Committee member Sevegne Newton said, ‘We are urging all businesses to report all incidents of graffiti and vandalism to the police and then get rid of them.

Tagging, stickers and vandalism create a sense of fear and it is everyone’s right to feel safe and welcome in our town. Our campaign is all about rejuvenating community pride and cohesion and

business stepping forward to actively contribute to making a difference in town.’

Mr Ahern said, ‘Now that we have the results of the audit we will be actively applying for state government funding for the installation of CCTV cameras.

Mayor Jan Barham has said recently that these are not a priority – I can only hope in light of the findings she will reconsider and support the proposal to increase lighting in town along with CCTV cameras and a dedicated safety zone.’

The report also said there was an increased crime risk for late night workers and at risk car park customers and that this could be reduced with improved lighting. The police report said ‘...the onus needs to be placed on landowners to ensure the safety of their staff.’ Mr Ahern said Byron United would be engaging with all the town’s real estate agents and land-

lords to ensure these necessary changes are made.

Of most interest to Beautiful Byron Committee member Paul Prior was the reports findings of ‘concealment and entrapment opportunities in our public parks’ with particular mention being made of Railway Park and Apex Park. He said, ‘I am in Railway Park on a weekly basis, cleaning and planting and I am extremely concerned by the overhanging branches of the Native Hibiscus. It has now not just been identified as a public liability issue but as an entrapment area.Young people are often reading books at the back of the park and there is a children’s playground nearby and this needs to be a safe area for everyone to enjoy and it quite clearly isn’t.’

Local students shine at DesignTECH Story & photo Lou Beaumont A number of local students are among a number of talented exhibitors in the DesignTECH exhibition.

The HSC Design and Technology equivalent to ArtExpress, it showcases exemplary major design projects by outstanding young talent both from rural NSW and Sydney.

The designs, as diverse as jewellery, bodyboards and advertising campaigns, are on display in Mullumbimby, the last stop of a statewide DesignTECH tour. Six local students are exhibiting alongside other finalists whose works have already been shown at the Powerhouse Museum and around the state.

Gemma Warriner from Xavier Catholic College in Lennox Head used her passion for bodyboarding as her inspiration for her design. Gemma told The Echo, ‘I was really into woodwork at school and wanted to do something along those lines until my teacher motivated me to be more creative and lateral with my thinking.

‘So then I looked at what it was I really wanted that didn’t already exist. My bodyboard has been designed specifically for females, the dimensions have been altered

Gemma Warriner of Suffolk Park holds her prototype, a bodyboard she designed specifically for females, in front of Katriya McDonald’s ‘My Trashy Wedding’ gown made of white garbage bags. Both are part of the HSC DesignTECH exhibition.

and it features hip grooves for a more comfortable fit.

As part of my research I surveyed fifty female bodyboarders and found that they were all excited about the

concept of having a design focused on females.’

Ella Mobbs from Mullumbimby High School created a range of hand-made glass and silver jewellery that

was designed to appeal to a wide range of tastes – hippy, gothic, punk and tribal. Each coloured glass had to be worked at different temperatures to achieve the best appearance. All of Ella’s items have already been sold, a testament to her talent.

Talent could also be defined as the ability to convert white plastic garbage bags into the ultimate in ‘trashy’ wedding gowns.

Designer Katriya McDonald from Byron Bay High School intricately cut ‘lacework’ into the bags and braided and beaded them to create a totally wearable and surprisingly beautiful gown.

Katriya wanted her creation to express her belief that ‘real beauty is not materialistic or superficial but comes from within’.

The simplicity and professionalism of the end designs conceal the extensive research and design modifications necessary throughout the development of the projects. In addition to the final work submitted, all students were assessed on the substantial portfolios which detailed this process.

The DesignTECH exhibition will be open at the Shearwater Steiner School, 349 Left Bank Road, Mullumbimby, until June 20.

Ocean Shores writer awarded ASA mentorship Ocean Shores writer Victor Marsh has won an Australian Society of Authors (ASA) mentorship for his memoir, The Boy in the Yellow Dress.

Victor is one of 20 successful authors (from over 350 applicants) for the ASA mentorship program in 2008-09. The scheme gives them the opportunity to work closely with a mentor of his or her choice for 30 hours over a period of up to 12 months.

Victor says he has already chosen his mentor. ‘Shelly Kenigsberg is a member of the NSW Society of Editors,’ he said. ‘She is freelance, but has worked for all

the major publishing houses and teaches editing in Sydney. I met her at last year’s Byron Writers’ Festival.

‘I asked for an editor, because although there’s plenty of material, it needs pruning and shaping. This is a serious push to get the MS ready for a publisher.’

The Boy in the Yellow Dress recently gained Victor his PhD (at the age of 62) from the University of Queensland.

He is a veteran of television, having worked in Sydney, Melbourne and Los Angeles on shows as varied as Young Talent Time and Beyond 2000.

Rally on Lighthouse Road After three years of disrepair to Lighthouse Road and the walkway Byron United has decided enough is enough and is organising a third anniversary rally on Saturday June 28 to ensure that the RTA, state government and Council are made aware that ‘we are not going to take it anymore.

‘Byron United is asking anybody in town who is frustrated by the delays to come along. It’s bring your own placard and meet at the Peace Pole, to the east of the

Surf Club, at 11.30am for a walk to Lighthouse Road.

Byron United Board Members will be conducting a tin raffle of passing pedestrians and motorists who would like to contribute a gold coin to getting it fixed.The money raised will be presented to Council.

‘Then it will be a pleasant walk back for a sausage sizzle at Clarkes Beach.’

Bike groups, runners, walkers, and concerned residents are all invited to attend.

During June and July 2008, Byron Shire Council will be conducting a Kerbside Clean-up Service.

This service is available only to households that have a weekly domestic garbage service.

It is not available for rural or commercial properties.

Two categories of waste will be collected: - General Bulky items and - Whitegoods / metal items Strict limits will apply on the volume and type of material collected.

Local News Pugh paints conservation message In a change of tactics, local conservationist Dailan Pugh has taken to painting to convey the conservation message.

Mr Pugh has spent decades working for conservation of this region’s natural environments through research, submissions, meetings, negotiations, publicising issues, and when all else fails, protest action.

Mr Pugh said, ‘My activism developed from my desire to protect the rainforests I moved to the north coast to draw. Now, some 20 years after I became consumed by activism I am returning to my artwork and intend to use it to raise awareness about conservation issues. While I am yet to see how effective it is, it is certainly more satisfying.’

Mr Pugh has chosen Australia’s marine environment as inspiration for his first oil paintings. The paintings depict a range of marine environments, from seals frolicking in giant kelp forests to turtles cruising the Great Barrier Reef. The wreck of Tassie III in Byron Bay and the Bream Hole near Lennox Head feature prominently.

‘Nothing can be truer than the saying “out of sight, out of mind” when it is applied to our marine environment,’ Mr Pugh said. ‘While we are drawn to its shores and frolic in its waves, mostly we only see the sky reflected on its surface and close our eyes tight when we go under.

Jan Tamas and Jan Bednar are conducting a hunger strike supporting resistance by 70% of the Czech people to a US Star Wars radar base in their country. The protest has spread throughout Europe and solidarity hunger strikers have appeared in the US, Italy, South Korea and Australia. An online petition has garnered thousands of signatures.

In Byron Bay Gareth

Smith, President of Byron People for Peace and Justice, recently decided to join the hunger strike. He collected petition signatures at Byron’s Farmers’ Market to be delivered to the Minister for Foreign Affairs Stephen Smith, Czech, Polish, US and Russian embassies in Canberra and posted online.

‘The US has military bases in 119 countries and now they want to push toward

Russia with new bases in the Czech Republic and Poland,’ said Gareth.

‘At a crucial time in our planet’s history our scarce resources should not be squandered on war preparations. The US should pull back its bases and shut down Pine Gap in Australia’s Red Centre, which played a huge role in coordinating the illegal attack on Iraq.’

Luke goes searching for warmth in a cold place Jann Gilbert Luke Reid is only 26 but already he’s experienced an isolation that most of us will never comprehend. Growing up in Tasmania, ‘with transient hippy parents from a marginalised corner of society’, Luke left home at 15 and made his way to Byron and eventually Sydney where his hope of getting into film school was, unfortunately, not fulfilled.

Luke continued to work in the industry, however, and when part of a film he was writing took him to the streets and lanes of Sydney on location, he discovered a very different world.

‘Having never lived in the city before it was a whole new environment for me,’ says Luke. ‘I started going out at night, in and around Newtown, photographing, I guess to place the script initially.’

What happened, however, was the beginning of an incredible journey for Luke through the lives and struggles of homeless people and people suffering mental illness, many of whom have lived on the streets for years.

‘Because I had just moved to Sydney – I didn’t know anyone, I didn’t have any friends, I had limited contact with family – I was, in a sense, searching for warmth

in a place that I found quite cold,’ says Luke. ‘Not just in the infrastructure but in society as well. I spent nearly eight months shooting at night, including days and nights sleeping in a lane near Kings Cross.’

The result of Luke’s search is a collection of poignant, illuminating and starkly real images and stories that speak visual volumes about the people, the work and the issue.

‘I guess after a while what I found out was there were a lot of homeless people, espe-

cially men, sleeping in this one particular lane outside Mathew Talbot Lodge [a homeless shelter] because the shelter was full. It was 50 metres away from a place called the Trannies Walk on William Street, where all the transgender and transsexual prostitutes work, so you’ve got this very bizarre place.’

As well as the camera, Luke began taking food down to the laneway from the restaurant he was working at, and learnt about the lives and the stories of the people he photographed.

‘I sort of became obsessed with the whole thing and at the end of the eight months I slept down in the lane for two nights and two days, and that was pretty full-on, a lot of weird stuff happened there,’ says Luke.

Contrary to what you may think Luke found the most difficult experience of fulltime street life was how to pass the days.

‘It wasn’t actually the nights, sleeping out there, although there was a lot of violence and stuff happening around, and drugs and

things,’ says Luke. ‘It was actually the daytimes.There’s nowhere you can go.

‘People won’t let you into shops, you’ve got no house to go to, and the only people you know are in the lanes and they only go back there at night. You really find out very quickly how lonely a city can be. And the magnitude of that isolation is so deep, it’s like you’re looking up at the world.’

Luke is hoping to organise an exhibition in Byron in the near future. He has two weeks of big-scale digital projections in Sydney coming up, followed by an exhibition this winter, and there’s also been interest from the big issue.

‘I’m trying to launch my pictures in an attempt to raise awareness to a massive social issue,’ says Luke. ‘Trying to create a connection between worlds so that people can see and hopefully understand. You know, how do you get a big government organisation or a funding body to create a system that makes people feel integrated and important and necessary? That’s an entirely left field way of coming at a problem like this but I think that’s what has to happen.’

Further enquiries please phone Luke on 0418 498 057.

The Year of The Apology art exhibition Until June 29 at the Northern Rivers Community Gallery, Arts Northern Rivers presents Indigenous artists responses to The Apology.

The year of The Apology is a landmark exhibition for Indigenous artists in the Northern Rivers region of NSW. Artwork featured has a personal reference to Prime Minister Kevin Rudd’s Apology to the Stolen Generation, on behalf of the newly elected Labor government, on February 13, and to the theme of reconciliation within Australia.

The exhibition includes artwork from over 50 Indigenous artists from the Northern Rivers. Frances Belle Parker, a local artist herself, has curated this exhibition as part of her new role as Indigenous Arts Development Officer for Arts Northern Rivers. Parker says, ‘Who would ever have thought that “one little word” could make such a difference? “Sorry” is the word we had been longing to hear for so long.’

Parker writes passionately about the art from this region in her exhibition essay, saying, ‘The Indigenous art within the region should not be typified into one form or style. It is important to acknowledge the inspiration drawn from both personal, local and outside influences.’

The exhibition is at the Ballina Northern Rivers Community Gallery, 44 Cherry Street and will be open from Wednesday to Sunday from 10am-4pm, phone 6681 6167.

Study IDs humpback movements New research which investigates the migratory movements of humpback whales between Antarctica, the east coast of Australia, New Zealand, the Pacific and the west coast of Australia, has been presented to the International Whaling Commission’s scientific committee.

Three reports have been prepared by Southern Cross University’s Whale Research Centre using photo-identification catalogues of humpbacks from Hervey Bay, Ballina, New Zealand, Western Australia and Antarctica.

The research involved collaboration with scientists from the South Pacific Whale Research Consortium, The Centre for Whale Research, Western Australia, the New Zealand Ministry of Fisher-

ies, The International Fund for Animal Welfare and Greenpeace International.

Wally Franklin, a PhD student with the Centre and co-director of The Oceania Project, said the reports confirmed the relationship between the Australian humpback whales that migrate up and down the east coast and whales sighted near New Zealand and the Balleny Islands feeding area in Antarctica.

‘The long-term photoidentification undertaken in eastern Australia by scientists at Southern Cross University’s Whale Research Centre has made it possible to investigate the destinations of humpback whales using the New Zealand migratory corridor and seen

feeding in the Balleny Islands,’ Mr Franklin said.

‘What’s important about the finding is that it suggests the recovery of the eastern Australian humpbacks might be a factor in the recovery of the Pacific populations.’

Mr Franklin said while the population of humpbacks which migrated each year along the east coast of Australia was steadily increasing, that was not the case for smaller populations in the Pacific.

The Southern Cross University Whale Research Centre will also be conducting the annual Cape Byron Whale Survey in July. Information is available from the SCU website www.scu.edu. au/research/whales or www. oceania.org.au.

Comment

Kevin stalks the elusive East June 10, 2008

Safety in the Bay The local police safety audit of Byron Bay – available on the Byron United website at www. byronunited.org.au – makes for interesting reading.

While undertaken at the request of BU especially because of its interest in installing closed circuit television (CCTV) in the town centre, the audit also contains recommendations and opinions worthy of consideration by Council and community services.

Two officers – Sergeant Stuart Crawford and Senior Constable Grant Seddon – carried out the audit in February and March this year. On the matter of criminal activity, their conclusions back up what any observant tourist or local would conclude.

Stealing and assault are the main crimes, and they increase in the night hours. The incidence of assault and street offences related to alcohol use increases in the night hours. Malicious damage appears to be an entirely sober activity, while those engaged in break-and-enter and stealing are usually temperate in their habits – or on substances undetected by police procedure.

These are the problems of a tourist town under pressure and are not exclusive to Byron Bay. Tourists (and locals) get their cars broken into, and young men behave badly after too much grog. At the darker end, sexual predators target vulnerable women and career thugs in the making bash the defenceless insensible. Given the recent national revelations on pedophile rings, it is a wonder our society functions at all.

The sociological conundrums associated with tourism and human nature are not necessarily the province of law enforcement. However, officers Crawford and Seddon have put a good deal of thought into their recommendations. Their ‘Crime Prevention through Environmental Design’ strategies make more sense than crowding the streets with coppers. Again, the needs in this area have been well known for decades – better lighting, better placement of facilities, less overgrown shrubberies in which villains can hide.

As to the use of CCTV, Crawford and Seddon point out that deterrent value is dependent in part on regular monitoring of the footage and video quality which can be admitted as evidence in court.

The Echo is generally liberal, if not libertine, on the issue of civil rights, but we can’t get too fussed about the presence of CCTV downtown.

If you’re caught on camera picking your nose or pashing your girl/boyfriend, does it matter all that much? If you’re trying to score drugs in Jonson Street, then you’re an idiot. If you’re bashing someone or smashing windows, then you deserve to be caught and punished.

The implementation of safety improvements is something all parties must participate in, which BU has publicly recognised. It is a conversation which could begin at the Social Forum in Byron Bay this coming weekend.

T

ity was far more complicated, a series of states and nations with separate languages and customs; but even centuries later, long after explorers, traders and colonisers had exposed the bewilderingly varied reality, there was a tendency to see Asia as a homogenous mass.

Thus Rudyard Kipling: ‘Ship me somewhere east of Suez/ Where the best is like the worst/ And there ain’t no ten commandments/ And a man can raise a thirst.’ Or, rather more pompously, ‘East is East and West is West/ And never the twain shall meet/ Till earth and sky lie presently/ At God’s great judgment seat.’

A century later still there was an echo of this in Paul Keating’s notorious remark to

pendence involved a long and bitter fight. (China, of course, was not physically colonised, but was frequently and humiliatingly invaded when it refused to toe the European line). In addition there is a tradition of internecine war between them; the states of Indochina spent centuries fighting each other and/or China. And to cap it off, there is China’s unremitting loathing of Japan for the atrocities committed in World War II. Rudd notes cheerfully that France and Germany also had centuries of more or less permanent conflict, but are now partners in the European Community. He could have added that Australia and Japan were profitably reconciled little more than a decade after the war. But this is to

by Mungo MacCallum Bob Hawke that Asia was just a place you had to fly over on the way to Europe. It was perhaps this attitude which led him to label Malaysia’s prime minister Mohammad Mahathir as ‘recalcitrant’ when he refused to get involved with Keating’s version of APEC. But herein lies the catch 22 for Rudd. The leaders to our north do not think of themselves as Asians: they hardly ever use the word. They are, first and foremost, fiercely independent nationalists. It is built into their history: with the single exception of Thailand, every Asian nation was colonised by one or more European countries and inde-

miss the point about how jealously the former colonies guard their sovereignty.

Even when they form an association such as ASEAN, it is on the strict understanding that there is to be no interference whatsoever in the internal workings of any one of them. This is why the horror of Burma has been allowed to endure for so long; a parallel exists in Africa where the so-called Organisation of African States has a strict hands-off policy regarding Zimbabwe.

It is not clear just how much cooperation and giveand-take Rudd’s ideas involve; initially, probably very little.

But if the proposed new

grouping is to be inclusive, and to have a life and an autonomy beyond mere symbolism, it will eventually have to make inroads into the national identity of those involved. There is little hope that the present generation of leaders would be prepared to allow such concessions or that their populations would find them acceptable.

Nice try, Kevin: it was certainly a visionary concept, which we needed after the last few weeks. But for now it’s back to FuelWatch.

A

nother year, another bloody honours list. And this week her gracious majesty the Queen of Australia has seen fit to grant John Howard and Reg Grundy admission to the select group of Companions of the Order of Australia.

In Howard’s case it was hardly unexpected; indeed, an AC has emerged as a one of the automatic perks for former prime ministers.

Gough Whitlam, Malcolm Fraser and Bob Hawke all sport the little gold gong on their lapels on formal occasions (and in Hawke’s case, many others).

Paul Keating, however, does not. When offered the seductive bauble, as Patrick White termed it when returning his after the 1975 dismissal, the Bankstown boy remained true to his democratic roots. Not only did he disapprove in principle of the meretricious award system as a hangover from the days of imperial honours, but he wasn’t too keen on some of the company.

In essence it was the Groucho Marx response: he didn’t want to join any club that would have him as a member. The last of the true believers.

here’s one thing about our Prime Minister – he certainly is resilient. No sooner had he finished dealing with the pernickety details of FuelWatch than he was out there making a new world order.The problem is that his plans for the region may be even harder to sell than his plans for the service stations.

Kevin Rudd’s proposal for a Pan-Asian alliance/union/ community – just which is not entirely clear – is certainly a big idea, and coming from Rudd our most Asia-literate leader, it has to be taken seriously. But as both Bob Hawke and Paul Keating have pointed out in their different ways, bringing it into existence would involve fundamental changes in the way the Asian nations see both themselves and the region.

First, it needs to be recognised that the idea of Asia as an entity is a purely European invention. Asia was always The East, whence came the barbarian invasions of Huns, Vandals,Tartars and Mongols and Turks.

Its geographical limits varied according to circumstance. The Near East could start in the Balkans and include Greece and Albania; the Middle East took over at the end of the Mediterranean and reached to Afghanistan, with the Far East after that, although of course for genuine English xenophobes wogs started at Calais.

Technically the western border of Asia was considered to run through the Ural mountains past the shores of the Caspian Sea and into the Caucasus; but in colloquial terms Asia just meant that bit of the great northern continent that wasn’t Europe.

BU, the mayor, and this paper Q Last week’s Echo editorial was a (predictable?) disappointment!

Trying to defend the indefensible is an ill-founded, irresponsible and adventurous action. No matter of what political persuasions you are, judging Council (and its main movers) honestly and based on their performance, the Barham Greens have failed us completely and as such should not be re-elected.

I personally have no idea what The Echo would expect Byron United to do different from what it currently does.

All BU does is be serious of their duty of looking after the vast majority of members (of which I am one), and by doing so, pretty much the vast majority of ratepayers as well as the community.

Highly responsible that is. As such be careful trying to sell us extreme minority positions that lead to nowhere.

In another matter: While The Echo dumped my own contribution in that matter, Stan Petroff’s letter made it to print and deserves full support. Be careful how far you dare to push the envelope on continuously rubbishing Ocean Shores and its people.

Ocean Shores has received buckets of bull over time, namely from Council, The

Festival success A very big thank you to everyone who participated in the third Brunswick Valley Nature Festival (on June 1), and who helped to make this World Environment Day event such an outstanding success.

Brunswick Valley Landcare is currently engaged on a three-year community education program, funded by the NSW Environmental Trust, with the theme of conserving biodiversity. The Festival is an integral part of that program.

The success of the Festival this year was due in no small measure to the very high standard of the presenters, whose willingness

Echo, as well as irresponsible letter writers, and people here really have had enough!

South Golden Beach Q Thank you for your positive words regarding the good things Byron United is doing in the community and for publishing our press release about the lack of good governance and the lack of the delivery of basic services and infrastructure to our village of Byron Bay. We feel the term ‘The Mayor of No’ in the Board members’ experience is an accurate reflection of how our community has been treated. There is a reality for us in the Mayor’s attitude towards our village which is reflected in those questions regarding Byron Youth Service, non repair of Lighthouse Road (three years), no will to beautify Byron Bay, the terrible state of our public toilets, a future town bypass, just to name a few. to share their knowledge of environmental issues gave the event its purpose, and to the various stallholders and experts who so readily donated their time.

Thanks also to our sponsors who made it all possible.

If nothing else, the Festival fulfils a significant need in reinforcing to the community the urgency of the environmental debate.

It was terrific that so many people were prepared to turn out on a rather wet and windy Sunday when the weather was much more conducive to staying in bed!

A great demonstration of the Byron community’s commitment to conservation.

Woolies omens Good news for all those not wanting Woolworths (WWs) in Mullumbimby. The recent mailbox drop of WWs to the householder booklet indicates WWs is feeling the growing heat of the ‘No Woolworths’ campaign.

Would WWs put out such a booklet of what I consider

I find your comment on the Mayor’s frustration of staff recalcitrance quite naive as it is so easy to blame others who can’t defend themselves. We believe it is essential that the leadership of our Council makes sure the management of the staff/ Councillors’ relationship is a top priority.

I believe the Mayor is doing some good things – as you say ‘positive community events’ and of course lobbying governments.

I am astounded that you suggest that Byron United could be in favour of five storey buildings on the coast, which it is definitely not. Did you just make that up and why? Byron United has conducted a core values exercise which reflects a definite policy of no increase in building height in our beautiful village.

If you had bothered to report on our core values exercise you would have realised what a green, dynamic business community we have. Anyone can access our core values statement by going to our website at www. byronunited.org.au.

I dispute that we are blaming one Councillor for the lack of spending on services and infrastructure but again we feel there is an attitude problem coming from the

Mayor. Some examples of this are: • the use of Byron Bay’s street dining money to speculate on land purchase in Mullumbimby, when that money should have been allocated and spent productively in Byron Bay where it was sourced; and • no commitment to the spending of the centre of activity levy rates charged to the business area of Byron Bay since 2004. The Council has the funds to spend in Byron Bay but has little will to do so; and it’s not the hard working staff who resist such spending.

We can only hope that you take your journalistic integrity seriously and offer more balanced reporting than merely being a mouthpiece of the current powers that be.

hype and lies unless they were feeling vulnerable?

They dare not suggest how they are going to deal with their sewage and jump the moratorium. Just as the poorly thought-out and written sewage modifications to the S96 modifications show, WWs appears to be bumbling from one option to another as community dissent grows.

The building of a WWs is most certainly not a fait accompli, Mallams may not have put it all in the bag for WWs. More than likely there are contracts out there between Mallams, State Rail, WWs and property developers that have not yet been completed, contracts that may well be dependent on any number of yet to be fulfilled requirements.

From my observations, the aircraft in question and others from the same operator are not breaching any CASA or Airservices rules, although the question of whether the conduct of such activities on a regular basis over a populated area constitutes good airmanship does arise. Acccordingly a diplomatic approach is being made to the operator about the matter to see if they are prepared to carry out these exercises over a less populated area.

I was at that Council meeting and what Fast Buck$ wrote in his letter I wanted to scream some of it and if I had it to read out I would’ve, but I had to keep control – ha, me? Now after what went down (read Fast’s letter) concerning the Roundhouse and site, Jan Mangleson pretends to be

Holiday letting Ethnic cleansing by holiday letting raises its ugly head again at next Thursday’s June 12 Council meeting.

Council staff are desperately trying to identify a way to manage it through the LEP process. It has been printed in previous Council agendas that staff believe that holiday letting in residential living areas is unlawful. Council’s own legal advice states that legal opinion is that these premises are operating in breach of their conditions of consent.

Byron Bay has been identified as the town having the most unaffordable accommodation in NSW. Who picked that future for our town? While staff grapple with the fact that the majority of Councillors wish to allow holiday letting, the staff report for Thursday’s

meeting fails to identify Council’s adopted Social Plan and fails to identify that we have an affordable housing consultant developing affordable housing provisions for the LEP. The staff proposed holiday

let clauses for the LEP will totally undermine any affordable housing provisions in the LEP. Under the staff’s proposals, increase in densities ostensibely to provide affordable housing will be available to be converted to

holiday lets. The staff report identifies that in the abandoned Byron Bay Area Draft LEP there were both objectors and supporters of prohibition of holiday lets. The staff report fails to mention that the supporters were

overwhelmingly investors from out of the Shire, and that the objectors were overwhelmingly residents that did not have a financial conflict of interest.

Who is running this place?

Who has the say on what

Tourism strategies hijacked by vested interests Q I write to confirm Dailan Pugh’s outline of the draft Byron Shire Tourism Management Plan (Echo, June 3) and to provide some insight into why the report has been written from the perspective of a narrow section of tourism operators.

While Councillors were dazzled with arguments about the so called ‘innovative’ consultative process when asked to abandon public exhibition of the plan, the real reason can be found in the Council meeting agenda of September 19, 2007. It seems there would be ‘additional costs in assessing the input from public submissions’ and this was ‘not part of the original plan negotiated with the consultants’ (pages 8-9).

Having saved some money you would imagine that the consultants would take care to ensure that the much vaunted consultation would be adhered to. Not so. Environment and community

groups were marginalised during phase one of the process by being combined into a single session where each group’s input was limited to a single sentence that had to be negotiated with five other representatives. The Tourism Advisory Panel (TAP) made up of a single representative from community, environment, tourism etc was not constituted to review the findings from phase one and community representatives were not given timely access to the key documents generated during phases one and two. The Citizen’s Jury was stacked with ‘witnesses’ from the tourism industry (3) and consultants running the consultation process (2). There was no independent representative providing the perspective of residents or the community interest included as a witness.

Despite the efforts to not hear the concerns of the community, a number of issues were raised over and over

again. Notably traffic congestion, the scale of tourism and tourism events (eg festivals).

Many of the groups that provided feedback to me as a member of the TAP were able to generate some excellent ideas for cycle and rail based tourism. When TAP members were finally given access to background documents, it became apparent that these ideas had been mentioned by many groups, individuals and the citizen’s jury. Yet they are not mentioned in the ‘actions’ and ‘strategies’ set out in the draft report.

The purpose of engaging consultants to develop the draft plan was to build a community consensus about how we manage tourism and to ensure (as the report states) to balance social and economic outcomes with environmental outcomes. It seems the exact opposite has occurred with the community dividing into sectional interests due to the mismanagement of the ‘consultative’

process. To achieve the original objective, a major rewrite of the report is necessary, one that acknowledges community input and delivers a better balance of social and environmental outcomes.

There needs to be far greater community representation on the body to be charged with spending ratepayer’s money to implement the tourism plan. Finally Councillors need to ensure that the rewritten plan is put on public exhibition.

Community Groups Representative Tourism Advisory Panel Q S Morgan’s letter (Echo, June 3) paints a graphic picture of what is missing from the Draft Byron Tourism Strategy.

The Strategy reiterates the often expressed and much acclaimed Vision for Byron (formulated with much community consultation over the years), recognising

its natural attractors, and sets out admirable objectives for promotion and marketing. However it fails to deal with the maintenance and protection of the quality of ‘the product’ it sells – Byron and its hinterland. Tourists come to Byron because it is different: it has unique environmental and cultural values. But if there is a perceived gap between these values and the reality, as S Morgan claims, the tourists will not come. It is pointless spending on marketing and promotions to get more tourists here if greater numbers are going to exacerbate the problems we have already. Jam them in more traffic and they won’t bother driving here. Overdevelop or allow inappropriate development and you spoil the ambience. Antagonise the locals by adversely impacting on their amenity or raising their rates too high to pay for tourist infrastructure and you will have a hostile

environment. Fail to have a clean and safe environment and visitors will find one elsewhere. Too many of one type of tourist group drives others away.

We need management strategies to cope with the problems, but it is no good leaving such tactics to a committee dominated by people concerned with promoting their own particular sectional interests, however well-intentioned they may be. We need a broader view to achieve a balanced and sustainable industry.

Because of a number of factors tourism numbers are apparently declining so it is imperative that we take positive action and not wait for endless committee meetings before any action is taken.

Certainly very little has been achieved since the 2002 Strategy. We must consolidate what we have and very carefully manage the future.

Letters sort of a community we live in? Well, we do! The consensus of the community is being trampled on by commercial interests. If Councillors can’t get a decision on Thursday to address the current social meltdown in Byron Bay, then it will be down to the residents to vote in a next Council that dumps these odious proposed provisions, and to send a new draft of an LEP back to Council that supports and protects our community.

I urge all residents, and especially those that have been abused by this unauthorised activity, to contact all Councillors and the Director of planning now, and tell them No to holiday letting in residential areas.

And if we can’t get some sense on Thursday be prepared to get organised to dump the staff’s draft LEP, and to bring back to Council a Draft LEP that fulfils the desperate needs and aspirations of this community.

Rights abuse The demand for peace and justice and the affirmation of human rights has never been more pressing and I wish Associate Professor Baden Offord every success with the Activating Human Rights and Peace Conference which he is convening at the Byron Bay Community and Cul-

tural Centre July 1-4.

But there is something curiously lacking in the words he uses (Echo, May 27) to promote it.

How is it one can talk up a peace conference and not mention that we are a nation at war and as much so under Rudd as we were under Howard?

How come the good Professor cannot name US militarism as the biggest cause of war today and the major source human rights abuses?

How can one gloss over 1 million dead in Iraq since the US invasion and no end in sight?

How come Guantanamo Bay is forgotten and the secret jails and renditioning flights of the US War on Terror?

Thank the gods of serendipity for the Independence from America Day parade!

The eighth annual Independence from America Day parade will take place on Friday July 4, the last day of Professor Offord’s Activating Human Rights and Peace Conference.

While the Conference will be talking about re-activating peace and human rights activism, we activists will be doing it on the streets outside. Samba Blisstas, the drumming stars of recent years, I regret to say will not be available. So back to basics, folks, this is callout for drummers.

Detach from tyranny! End the US Alliance! We want to beat up a storm for peace and justice.

We want to be heard by Professor Offord’s Conference and by the warmongers in Canberra and Washington as well.

The Parade assembles at Main Beach from 12.30pm Friday July 4. More information www.peacebus.com/ FourthJuly For peace. For justice. For the Earth!

Election advice I see our Mayor has decided to run again, with what looks like a re-election slogan ‘I’ll educate you’.

Asked what she would do different in her second term ‘she would focus more on community education regarding capacity and limitations of the council’. At least she’s honest I guess.

What we get in our next term is a lecture on why they can’t do anything.

Isn’t the job of the mayor to be proactive and make change for the better of the community weather you’re green, red or blue, not throw your hands in the air in defeat at the injustices of the state government or the system or whatever limitations she is talking about? If those limitations include the easy things like keeping the town

clean, a little bit of mowing here, a little bit of painting there, then please educate us.

Got home from four weeks’ leave to find the road the lighthouse so overgrown it was dangerous. That was 15 weeks ago and it’s still not mowed. It’s nice to see community groups more passionate about the town than the council and to do the council’s job and clean it up, but you can’t expect them to be out slashing the sides of roads, surely.

Council is always complaining about no money but there’s $24m of ratepayers’ money sitting in the bank.

If you’re not motivated, Jan, and can’t complete even the easy things in an appropriate time – not ten years to do a $230K job on Clarkes Beach car park – then move over and allow someone up to the tasks. Ratepayers should boycott rate payments until the council agrees on an acceptable standard of cleanliness. Perpetual above average increases in rates for perpetual underperformance by council? Just wrong.

state of our live music venues/halls all over this shire. I can’t help but feel like the whingers are winning and this both depresses and angers me that it is becoming increasingly harder to express our selves as musicians, performers and music lovers in this area without someone complaining that it’s too loud.

Surely there needs to be some tolerance towards the natural noises of people, cars

and entertainment in our towns and around our places of public entertainment.

Alarm bells? The changing face of Byron Shire Q Flying into Honolulu for the first time and dreaming which of the beaches ringing the island I would stay at, I was shocked to discover I could only stay at Waikiki.

Visitors to Hawaii are virtually restricted to this high rise tourist ghetto. The rest of the island is left for the locals (and US Navy). However, there is a great bus service to get around the island, so I got to surf the beaches and meet the locals.

What is the future in Byron Shire? Already rents are too high in the Bay, and shooting up throughout the shire. A vibrant community is made up of a wide mix of people: couples, single mothers, single fathers, students, workers, retirees, young and old, active and disabled.

Where are they going to live?

A lot more affordable rental continued from page 13

to comply with noise complaints, I hear it’s been sold, primarily for the pokies and that there are plans to turn it into shops! Something we really don’t need more of in Mullum. We need our beer garden, our watering hole and our live entertainment.

It is absurd to me that Mullum has virtually no nightlife left whatsoever. In a town full of creative, eclectic individuals, it seems to me we are losing our identity bit by bit, and Woolies is only going to make it harder to maintain this cultural hubbub of wonderful diverse souls who proudly call Mullum home. And by the way what happened to our Chincogan Fiesta? I can’t help feeling like we are dying a slow cultural death, and it will take nothing short of a miracle to bring us back to life.

Having gathered over 1000 signatures for Coorabell, I know I am not alone in my concerns. Maybe it is

accommodation is needed to maintain a community in which we desire to live. How can this be sourced?

Byron Bay Q I was saddened to read S Morgan’s observations about Byron Bay (Letters, June 3), not because she accuses us of being a bunch of hypocrites but because she has been a victim of prejudice.

It is true that many locals don’t want tourists in the town. Some mindless cretin has classified S Morgan as a tourist (ie someone who time to stand up together as a community and be counted. Reclaim what drew us to this unique community in the first place.

At war With in excess of one million civilian deaths in Iraq, John Howard still sings his tired old mantra justifying the invasion. Dr Brendan Nelson ex-Minister of War, who is a signatory to the Hippocratic Oath, was quoted in Monday’s media that Al-Qaeda in Iraq are as good as defeated. I wonder what his evidence is?

I feel both the above should be future candidates for trials on crimes against humanity. Small part of the Hippocratic Oath, quote: ‘Whatsoever house I enter, there will I go for the benefit of the sick, refraining from all wrongdoing or corruption.’

Q Why do Byron residents complain about progress?

My family came to Byron in 1983 and stayed for 15 years.

Back then it was a lovely place, quiet, for a time everybody left their cars unlocked.

You could go for a surf unmolested, always find a park and meet three people you knew on the main street in one morning, probably all at the Bakery.

Eventually the backpacker accommodation moved in and that started a population boom, development, and a lot of locals making a lot of money. Club Med was defeated but why bother?

Surf schools and traffic were much worse!

Development ruined the place in my opinion, now it’s the Queensland beachside suburb they never had. My Bill Radcliffe point is this: If you are one Byron Bay of those who benefited from

development, you own a business, a house that has at least quadrupled in value, a restaurant that charges more than a Sydney one, or a new road going in, or a highway being moved, new competition, or infrastructure being put in place to cope with more people living there that feeds your lifestyle, I really don’t think you should be whingeing about it.

For all the righteousness, ‘alternative culture’ and community action, what did you end up with? No highrise, well yes that’s true, but you got the rest. You got the ratbags and crowds on weekenders, a riot, a man being beaten to death on the main street, traffic jams, inflated prices. Sounds like a city lifestyle to me, and that’s called progress.

We as a community have failed to offer a better alternative. Where are our popular and successful and cheap organic markets? They barely exist!

I have been, and still am, an avid supporter of organic foods for the last two decades while living here in the beautiful Byron Shire. Like many here, I am considered as an alternative, creative and free thinker/artist. Yet the high price of food in Santos is unjustified. Is Santos scared of being forced to bring down their out of control prices?

This is a veritable Star Wars going on and I gladly believe that this Woolies issue has slapped us residents hard on both cheeks of the face, forcing us to learn that the problem is not Woolies, it is we who are divisive, unsuccessful, greedy and jealous of the big new boys coming to town.

I say, let Woolies be. You don’t have to shop there.

I would like to finish with one last note: Now be honest.

How many of you, who are against the coming of Woolies to Mullum, actually go shopping at Bi-Lo in Ocean Shores, or say Woollies in Byron Bay or in the Tweed City? Hmmmm, yes, can you put down your fists for a moment and see the great hypocrisy here staring you in the face.

You shop at Bi-Lo for cheaper prices and broader range yet you mindlessly protest.There is only love or fear.

You are coming out of fear and inadequacy. I think it is time to bless and honour Woolies, do better if you can, and above all, to wake up! See you in the aisles.

should leave) without, presumably, any effort to establish what her contribution might be to the town – economic or otherwise.

S Morgan goes on to say that ‘for a town… whose socio-cultural identity is promoted as welcoming and alternative, we suggest that locals need to reconsider the paradox between philosophy and practice in this community.’

No doubt she is right and it is the nature of the yin and the yan for it to be so. Myanamar, the most Buddhist country on Earth, is run by a brutal military dictatorship and Byron Bay is rude to tourists. This situation may be highly regrettable, but it is not really all that surprising.

I have always believed that those who go to church most need to and am beginning to

think that the same may apply to those of us who came to Byron Bay looking for some sort of personal transformation.

Sadly, as residents, we are too often poor exemplars of ‘the light’.

Then again, S Morgan might consider taking more personal responsibility for the quality of her holiday. If you start looking for cigarette butts and hypocrisy then you will not leave disappointed.

S Morgan, the best outcome is for us to offer our genuine and heartfelt apology for being inhospitable, rude and ungracious (yin) and for you to get over it (yan).

I don’t know about you but at least I feel better now…

About two dozen US farmers report that Bt corn varieties caused widespread sterility in pigs or cows. More than half the offspring of rats fed GM soy died within three weeks; male rats fed GM soy showed changes in their testicles and mice had altered young sperm cells, compared to controls; cows, water buffaloes, chickens, and horses died from eating Bt corn varieties. The media and the Gene Regulator seem to merrily ignore these findings.

Some weeks ago, due to the massive eruption of the Chaiten Volcano in southern Chile, the writer began examining maps of Northern China, the exact opposite side of the Earth to Chaiten, expecting that a shaking of the Earth might occur there, because of the Chaiten eruption. Several days later, earthquakes hit Northern China and still continue today.

If one is a week or two ahead of the crowd – that is said to be good, but if one is five or ten years or more, ahead of the crowd, then one is said to be a heretic or an idiot. So it is that many people were unable to understand the writer’s last letter to the editor about the absolute danger of genetically modified organisms (GMOs). The writer is suggesting that GMOs represent a possible extinction level event for humanity and also for the entire planet’s ecosystem – not the ‘saving grace’ as advertised.

Zen and the fishtank and all that meets the eye Story & photo John Campbell I was photographed and finger printed upon arrival at Osaka. It was nothing personal. They do it to all foreigners.

A couple of hairy El Al goons strip-searched me at Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport once (not the best day to be wearing my primrose undies), but this was the first time I’d received the petty crim treatment. The mug shot needed to be done a second time because my eyes dropped to read the sign – LOOK READY – as the tiny camera clicked. The whitegloved Immigration officer grinned and said ‘not ready’.

First timers can never be ready for Japan.

The next day was overwhelming. After checking some of the sights and negotiating the labyrinth of Shinjuku Station, a city below the vast city of Tokyo, I went looking for food.

I chose a restaurant at random. The lady at the door was wearing a kimono, meaning I’d entered a joint at which I’d be paying at least twice as much as I would at the noodle bar on the corner, but her come hither demeanour was irresistible. Inside it was cool and gold lit, with a lot of lacquered timber and an

aura of contented chopsticking. The muzak was a reed flute softly playing The Tennessee Waltz – not exactly ancient Edo, but this is a city of paradoxes. Nothing (except litter) is out of place.

I recited the phrase that I’d memorised about being a vegetarian. The waitress smiled sympathetically, suggesting that what I’d said had come out as ‘I have just lost my toothbrush’. Pretending she didn’t think I was a complete dill, she

turned the menu over to show me its English version, which, for one dish, had poetically transcribed autumn as ‘dead leaf season’. I passed on it and opted for number eleven, the eggplant and tofu. It was to die for.

The suited salary man next to me at the counter was absorbed in his newspaper’s front page story. In 2007, Tetsuya Shiroo (I recognised his pic from the Japan Times), a former member of the Yamaguchi-gumi

crime syndicate, murdered Nagasaki Mayor Iccho Itoh, and now a court has ruled that he will be executed. I remain stubbornly (and offensively, I’m told) ambivalent about the death penalty, but that it is still applied here was a surprise to me. Or maybe not.

According to the Tokyo National Museum, Buddhism came to Japan in the seventh century (Wikipedia says the fifth, Lonely Planet the sixth).

Don’t get me wrong, as

prophets go, Buddha’s up there with the best of them, from Abraham to L Ron Hubbard. It’s just that I’ve always found him a little dull. Sitting on his arse all day, barely able to keep his eyes open – don’t you wish he’d just snap out of it?

Now I suspect that he might have had a point.

Everything reduces to nothing. It’s an inescapable truth. I reckon that the Japanese are onto it too, and that it underpins their culture, allowing all of their daily contradictions to co-exist – the stiff formality with the gonzo ratbaggery, the simplicity of traditional design with the clutter of fevered 24/7 consumerism, the brutality of whaling with the reverence for nature, the calm with the frenzy. At a holy place like the MeijiJingu shrine, schoolgirls paraded around in the briefest of tunics, with Irma La Douce black stockings stopping saucily above their knees, while on the other side of the courtyard a wedding party was devoutly making its way to the inner sanctum of the shrine, the bride and groom in centuries old attire, led by men draped in the sort of serious robes bestowed on the keyholders by all religions.

Afterwards I found my way to a cinema and, with a packed house, endured the latest Narnia flick. But again there was the order and the expectation to do the right thing. At the film’s conclusion, teenagers politely carried their empty popcorn and drinks cups on trays out of the cinema. Can you imagine that happening in Byron?

Back in the restaurant, I noticed a glass tank crammed with a dozen fish bumping into each other.

Up in the corner was a live octopus squashed into a red net, like those bags of onions you buy at the supermarket.

Its big sad eye blinked as it looked around, trying no doubt to make sense of its confined world. Made me feel real bad. The chef strolled over, got on a stool, netted a couple of the fish and sliced them up in front of us as they thrashed about on the bench.

I finished my beer and moped out. Twenty metres down the street and bugged by that trussed-up octopus, the darling girl in the kimono came running after me. She bowed and presented me with a complimentary set of chopsticks.

‘Arigato’ I said. I think I got it right.

Protecting the Ashaninka culture Mac Nicolson In the beginning of June my partner Cecilia, who is Brazilian, and our young son, Nicolau, and I were fortunate enough to be invited to visit the Ashaninka Indians in a remote corner of Acre State in Brazil close to the Peruvian frontier.

The invitation came originally to us last year from an old friend of Cecilia’s, João Fortes, who has worked closely with both the Indigenous peoples and the rubber tappers (the Seringueiros) of Acre.

The Ashaninkas, the majority of whose tribes live on the Peruvian side of the border, have had a long history of having to ďŹ ght for their lands.

They are a people proud of their culture and driven by a strong motivation for independence and freedom. The Ashaninkas are the largest indigenous group within the Peruvian Amazon, numbering over 50,000.

They are a complex people who have an admirable quality of being able to integrate their traditional culture and customs with ideas and practices of the white man according to their needs.

The recent photographs that appeared worldwide of a supposedly lost Amazonian tribe in Acre were likely a neighbouring tribe (the Amahuaka) and past enemies of the Ashaninkas, considered to be ‘bravios’ (wild).

The Ashaninkas of the river Amonia in Brazil had little contact with rubber tappers in their area as it was not a major source of rubber trees, but were decimated by the intrusion of loggers and alcohol as payment for their cooperation from the mid seventies on. In 1992 they were able to have their land borders ofďŹ cially recognised and one of the ďŹ ve sons of the Chief attended the Global Environmental Conference in Rio. From 1992 to 1999 they refused all contact with whites

while they reclaimed their sense of community and culture. Now, all of their tribe have returned to their villages and not one has left in ten years. They are self sufďŹ cient through traditional sources of hunting and ďŹ shing and crops such as tarot and mandioca, bananas and other fruits. To this they have added fish farming and are, in addition, breeding the local endangered turtles for replenishment in the river. They have eliminated alcohol and reinvigorated their traditional ceremonies based on ayauaska and other substances derived from local plants. They are pretty bloody happy. It is the most functional self sufďŹ cient community I have ever witnessed. It is a bright shining light in a world bereft of it.

What they do need is material support to carry out their work within the region as a whole as they have no source of monetary income aside from the usual beadwork, pictured, and woodcraft, although they are seeking funding to establish a pottery.

With the ďŹ nancial help of friends in Rio De Janeiro, the Ashaninkas of the Amonia’s established a Learning Centre called Yoreka Ăƒtame (wisdom of the forest) opposite the town of Thaumaturgo three hours downstream of their village. The centre’s mission is to reinvigorate the traditional cultures of the indigenous peoples of the Amazon and teach, in addition, sustainable living and forestry practices including the reafforestation of previously logged and cleared lands. Yoreka Ăƒtame is currently relying on donations and voluntary carbon credits being sold to supportive business.

JoĂŁo Fortes asked if we could help fund a larger powerboat for them as one of their difďŹ culties is organising transport for moving both visitors and locals between Yoreka Ăƒtame and the villages. River transport is predominantly by

motorised canoe, which has its limitations in terms of efďŹ ciency.

My idea is to ďŹ nd a relatively manageable group of donors who would contribute upfront a donation of $3,000 each for the boat and perhaps a smaller but regular ongoing commitment for the funding of Yoreka Ăƒtame. In return they would be welcome to visit and stay with the Ashaninkas which, I can tell you, is well worth it. They are not interested in conventional tourism but are very open to cultural exchange with the right sort of people – they have a lot to offer. It is only possible to visit them with an invitation. If you’d like to be involved, you can contact me on mac@bluehouse.name.

To get there you have to y to Rio Branco, the capital of Acre State, take another ight to Cruzeiro Do Sul (there is no all weather road yet) and then either a one hour small plane ight or eight hour boat trip to Thaumaturgo. Even though you are well and truly in the deep tributaries of the Amazon, there are still the scars of scattered settlements along the river but beyond a few hundred metres inland it is forest as far as the eye can see even from the height of a plane. Most of the large scale illegal logging has been stopped on the Brazilian side within Acre but the Peruvians are still plundering the Ashaninka lands along the frontier in places.

The Ashaninkas, of course have future issues on the horizon, the darkest of which is the discovery of oil deposits on their land. The faster all of the people there are able to regain or retain their self sufďŹ ciency and culture the less attractive will be the bribes of the oil industry and the loggers.

Climate change challenge for coastal communities Climate and Ecosystems Cooperative Research Centre at the University of Tasmania, who will provide an overview of the impact of sea level rise on the northern NSW coastline.

Professor Rodger Tomlinson, from GrifďŹ th University’s National Centre for Climate Change Adaptation, who will talk about coastal erosion and the coastal planning that will be required to deal with climate change over the next century. ‘We will also have updates on the progress being made to achieve sustainable water resources, agriculture and horticulture in our region and how we need to achieve sustainable settlements.

Recent progress on climaterelated issues at the local government level will also be covered,’ Professor Jones said.

The ďŹ rst day of the forum will be open to all members of the community.

On the second day workshops will be open to invited professionals and community leaders to look at the priorities for the region for the next three years.

A trade display will also be included as part of the forum, where industries can highlight climate adaptation and mitigation innovations.

Anyone interested in participating in the Climate Change Forum should contact the Centre for Regional Climate Change Studies on 6620 3650, email graham. jones@scu.edu.au or visit the website www.scu.edu. au/schools/esm.

The forum will be held at the Whitebrook Theatre, Lismore campus, on July 3 and 4.

Rising sea levels and coastal erosion will be two of the major topics addressed at the Second Regional Forum on Climate Change and Coastal Communities, to be hosted by Southern Cross University in July.

The for um is being organised by the University’s Centre for Regional Climate Change Studies and the School of Environmental Science and Management, and follows on from a forum held in 2005.

Organiser Associate Professor Graham Jones said while progress had been made in some areas since the initial forum, there were many challenges facing the mid north and north coast regions. ‘We can expect the sea level to rise by at least one metre over the next 90 years and in some places that will have quite a substantial impact. If there’s a one-metre rise, this can produce inundation of about 100 metres,’ Professor Jones said. ‘This has major implications for planning of coastal developments.’ Professor Jones said the Climate Change Forum, titled ‘Adaptation to and mitigation of climate change in the Northern Rivers NSW region’, was open to all members of the community as well as local government representatives, builders, developers, planners and people in the agricultural and horticultural industries.

People from the Coffs Harbour region north to the Queensland border are being invited to attend.

Speakers include Dr John Hunter, from the Antarctic

When belief becomes institutionalised People Like Us: How arrogance is dividing Islam and the West, by Waleed Aly (Picador Australia RRP $32.95) Reviewed by Mungo MacCallum To a rational human being, any belief in supernatural beings is simply silly. In particular, the idea of a just and merciful interventionist god was conclusively disproved the first time a child died in pain. It follows that religion, and especially the great monotheistic religions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam, should not be taken seriously.

But it cannot be denied that when they attract a lot of believers, become institutionalised and acquire political power and influence, the consequences become very serious indeed. Sometimes they can even appear beneficial, at least for some of their followers some of the time.

But in the long haul, they have been responsible for some of the most tragic and unnecessary disasters in human history.

Thus it behoves men and women of goodwill, whether believers or not, to try and understand why this has been so and to prevent it from happening again.

Waleed Aly is both a man of goodwill and a devout Moslem, a combination which the more bigoted would say is impossible in the context of contemporary Australia.

It is precisely this kind of ignorant intolerance which has prompted his book, a discussion of the misunderstandings which have led to the current climate of hostility on both sides of this very artificial fence.

Aly’s central thesis is that each side sees the solution as the other changing to become more in tune with their own worldview – to become, in effect, people like us. Moslems want Western infidels to accept Islamic law, although after centuries of dispute there is still no consensus about exactly what constitutes it. The Westerners want Moslems to subscribe to Australian values, again without being able to define exactly what these are. Clearly, the only way out of this impasse is more understanding and tolerance from both sides, which is what Aly seeks to provide.

In doing so he demolishes a lot of Western conventional wisdom, one tenet of which is that good Moslems are moderate, modern and secular. ‘Moderate’ is the opposite of ‘extreme’, and since terrorists are by definition

Scholar and author Waleed Aly.

extreme, it follows that moderates won’t be terrorists, QED. But moderate is a political term, not a religious one. Being a moderate Moslem is like being half-pregnant; either you are a believer or you’re not. So scratch that one as unhelpful.

As for modern – well, al Qa’ida may talk about a

largely mythical past, but it functions as a thoroughly moder n organisation embracing the latest technology and closely resembles other 20th century totalitarian movements such as Nazism and Bolshevism. Is this what we really want?

And secular is as secular does. Iraq was a secular

Moslem state; Indonesia and Turkey still are. Iran and Saudi Arabia are not, but it’s still a matter of degree. Even in secular Australia the state supports church schools and charities and parliament opens each day with a Christian prayer. Furthermore we all have belief systems, whether we are fundamentalists or atheists. Aly agrees with Tony Abbott that it is silly to imagine we will abandon them if we enter politics.

So forget secular.

What, then, should the West be looking for? Aly takes the historical perspective. In the West, Christianity, having spread through Europe, entered the dark ages, and the terrorism of the crusades and Inquisition.

With the fall of the Holy Roman Empire came the Renaissance and a marked decrease in religious political power; the Reformation effectively finished it off, and led to the Enlightenment.

But for Islam, it was pretty much the other way around: the Enlightenment, the golden age of Moslem art and science, came first.Then in the 18th century Mohammad ibn Abdul Wahab led a Reformation, resulting in the fundamentalist takeover of Saudi Arabia. It could be argued that Islam is now in its own dark ages, awaiting not another Reformation

but a Renaissance. Those like Salman Rushdie who argue for Reformation forget its consequences: the Dutch Reformed Church which presided over apartheid in South Africa is a child of the Christian Reformation, and the Ku Klux Klan is its grandchild.

Islam is now seen by the West as a monolithic force embodying the world’s evils from suicide bombing (an invention of the Hindu Tamil Tigers) to so-called honour killings of women (practised by tribes of all religious persuasions throughout the Middle East and also by Sicilian and other Christians). In fact, of course, there are as many brands of Islam as there are nationalities: the Moslems of Sudan have little in common with their co-religionists in Uzbekistan or Indonesia.

And within each of these countries there is just as much variation as there is among the Christians of any Western nation, including Australia.

Viewed from this perspective, each side can recognise the obvious: the other is already made up of people like us, if only we could look with clear and unbiased eyes. Waled Aly does, and his book is a refreshing contribution to these troubled times.

Writersfest scores sneak preview screening of new film Each year, the Northern Rivers Writers’ Centre and the Byron Bay Writers Festival swoops on the best new Australian films and launches preview screenings, followed by Q&A with a principal from the production. Last year’s choices

Sky was voted best film at Brisbane International Film Festival 2007, and was Official Selection at both the Toronto International Film Fest 2007 and Pusan International Film Festival 07. Continuing its success on the international festival circuit, Unfinished Sky had its European premiere in the Time and Tide section of the 37th Rotterdam International Film Festival in January.

Starring William McInnes (Look Both Ways, Kokoda, Sea Change) and leading Dutch actress Monic Hendrickx, Unfinished Sky is a powerful story of a love that grows between two people despite their resistance. With a thriller twist, this is a complex story of emotions, trust and betrayal, and of strength drawn from the land.

‘Peter has written a beautiful script,’ said producer Cathy Overett. ‘He’s embodied universal themes of rural decline and illegal immigration in our two heroes. And he’s woven a poetic love story around a thriller element that will resonate with audiences around the world. With William and Monic in the leads, the film promises to

Students have sustainability SUSSed Story & photo Jann Gilbert Students from local north coast schools came up with some bright ideas for making and keeping their schools sustainable at the recent Students Using Sustainable Strategies (SUSS) forum.

Now in its second year the forum mustered 120 students from 21 schools, and their teachers, and teamed them with representatives from National Parks & Wildlife, the North East Waste Forum, Rous Water, Northern Rivers Catchment Management Authority, Dorroughby Environment Education Centre and Department of Primary Industries.

The forum is designed to help students develop a School Environmental Management Plan (SEMP) and associated action plans to make schools more environmentally friendly, and encourage greater environmental content in the school curriculum. It also followed

Students gather for the big finale at the recent SUSS forum.

up on the SEMP and action plans from last year.

Throughout the two-day forum students participated in a variety of workshops including learning to audit their schools for waste management, water usage, energy usage and biodiversity. They also explored Aboriginal cultural heritage, active transport, efficient outdoor water use, creating a sustainable

school garden, composting, ecological foot printing and catchment management.

Tiare Broadhead, a Year 10 student from Ballina High School who was at the forum for the second year and was also a student representative on the Organising Committee for 2008 says she’s really proud to be involved in the forum.

‘It’s a great experience and

you’re doing something really positive for the environment,’ says Tiare. ‘I attended last year, and this year I’ve also run some workshops. I hope to be here next year as well.’

Through the workshops, students and teachers learnt how to develop a SEMP and associated action plans to be carried out over the following year. In order to

facilitate the process, schools are grouped into regions to enable them to assist one another.

Action plans developed by the students included introducing paper recycling, obtaining funding for the installation of rain water tanks or more energy efficient appliances, and developing a school vegie plot.

Not wanting to forget its own carbon footprint organisers developed a Climate Friendly Proposal for SUSS to offset the event’s emissions. SUSS Forum Coordinator Karen Rudkin included a tree planting session to offset the 486kg of greenhouse gases created by transport emissions alone.

Although it takes approximately six trees to offset a ton of greenhouse gas emissions students planted a few more, just for good measure.

Other total calculated emissions for the forum were offset by financial contributions to sustainable projects

to cut greenhouse gases, such as wind farms in India and China.

‘The whole experience of the forum is about developing practical actions to improve environmental management and sustainability,’ says Karen. ‘It gives students real ways to have an impact and it means their thinking, and talking, about sustainability, and encouraging others to do so.’

The forum was sponsored in part and hosted by Linnaeus Estate at Broken Head, a 280-acre, Land for Wildlife private trust that was set up to protect the land for 150 years. Linnaeus also takes part in the energy audits, and sets action plans for its own environmental management and sustainability.

‘Call it philanthropy, support, whatever,’ says Linnaeus trust member, Angela McMaster. ‘We’re interested in education about sustainability.’

Working towards peace and sustainable development Baden Offord Two remarkable young people from the Middle East, Mutassim Abu El Hawa who is Muslim and Ilana Meallem who is Jewish, will be special speakers during the Activating Human Rights and Peace Conference to be held in Byron July 1-4. Both work for The Arava Institute for Environmental Studies, which is a regional centre for environmental leadership situated on Kibbutz Ketura in Israel’s Southern Arava Valley – a desert in the Syrio-African rift near the Jordanian and Egyptian borders and the Gulf of Aqaba/Eilat.

By encouraging environmental cooperation between peoples, the Arava Institute works towards peace and sustainable development on a regional and global scale.

The Institute is home to academic programs, research and public involvement.

Mutassim is from East Jerusalem, where he had little positive contact with Israelis. His family, observant Muslims, were more than a little surprised when his mother suggested he continue his environmental studies at the Arava Institute; a place where he would learn to live and work with Israelis.

Says Mutassim, ‘You can imagine my surprise when I found I would be sharing a room with an Israeli Jew.’ He now treasures his Arava experiences and is today applying them in his work with the Israel Palestine Center for Research and Information, focusing

Conference speaker Ilana Meallem of the Arava Institute.

on water rights issues and development of urban public gardens.

Ilana grew up in London, in a Sephardic family that escaped from Egypt. She saw her brother victimised by anti-Semites. In Israel she served in the Israeli Air Force, then took a degree in marine biology.

The Arava Institute came to her from a conversation with a stranger she’d met on vacation. The rest, she says, is history. ‘Through an Arava Institute field trip, I learned about the extremely degrading living conditions of Israeli Bedouin tribes. It was my life-changing moment.’

Since graduating, Ilana has learned Arabic, lived with the Bedouin, and is currently working on a major

bio-gas energy-generating program that will greatly benefit those Bedouins’ lives.

Such is the renown of her work that, along with fellow Arava Institute graduate, Palestinian Mazen Zoabi, she was invited to the prestigious annual meeting of Nobel Laureates in Petra, Jordan. There, they were charged by Jordan’s King Abdullah and author/activist Elie Wiesel to establish the region’s first Middle East Youth Forum.

Recently, Illana and Mutassim featured together on CNN speaking on their shared work and concerns for the betterment of the world. At the Activating Human Rights and Peace Conference, these two inspiring young peace activists and environmentalists will speak together on ‘Shared Concerns in a Region of Conflict – Environmental Cooperation as a Tool for Building Peace.’

Madeleine Faught, who is the local Community Conference Committee Member, said she welcomes the unique and innovative opportunities of the Activating Human Rights and Peace Conference in Byron Shire.

She said, ‘Efforts are being made to secure sponsorship funding from Byron Shire Council for high school student representation at the conference so that our youth can learn, embrace, and hopefully become passionate initiators of human rights now and in the future, just like Mutassim and Illana.’

Who is Pinky Beecroft? No doubt the name will stir some recollection, and if I say Machine Gun Fellatio, you’ll put two and two together and come up with a foursome. Which I suppose would be in keeping with the whole MGF feel. Pinky was the front man of the morally corrupt electro pop outfit. He claims it nearly killed him.

n being able to be a poet.’ being not

‘I had a few dark nights of the soul when I left the band. I finished that band and wanted straight away to have a band that was the exact opposite. Everything had to be organic and played with no bullshit, and no tricks, it was just me on stage in a plain white light in a wife beater, and they thought that was even weirder. Oh, he’s being ironic!

But this is me – then I released an EP which had a few nice moments – it was guitar based rock organically recorded live in a couple of weeks, totally different from MGF. But every review said this is no different from MGF. I ended up in a looney bin wanting to kill myself.’

‘I would live in Paris in a fucking giant apartment – I would like to live where there are 50 billion people and all of them really really like me. I don’t think that will happen any time soon and I’d fuck it up way.’

Leaving MGF was an ordeal for Pinky.

‘I was unhappy for a long time, it took me three years to quit, it was like having a dysfunctional relationship with eight people, and having six acrimonious divorces. I took the roadie with me.’

But distance makes the heart grow blonder, and in time Pinky realised it was better to let go.

‘I am going to move offshore and make a come back in someone else’s body and relaunch myself as another person, I will fake my own musical death, although some people say I have already done that... and dispute that it’s fake. I have bigger things to be bitter about than music.’

Pinky is a relentless tale of text.

Where other musicians say ‘nah, it’s good. Just went into the studio and put down some tracks’, he is the king of anarchic disclosure. Was there a defining moment that gave some clarity?

‘I have an epiphany every few years,

Pinky iis not a fan of Sydney. He describ it as an obsession with describes wealth He loathes Melbourne wealth. m even more.

It’s an obsession with b being cool.

‘Any gig g in Melbourne you can see lo them looking at your shoes’.

So where would Mr Beecroft reside, if he had the choice?

So is he a saboteur? It’s a French term afterall.

The Man they call Pinky I don’t know – there was a point I really thought I was carking it – I lost 20 kilos in three weeks, and everyone was convinced that I had an out of control heroin habit. I had a stomach complaint.’

Pinky loves Wean. Why? Because they have a quiet genius that he finds inspirational.

‘I finally got to see Wean, my favourite band in the history of man, it blew my fucking brains, a band with bugger all airplay that just had to just build through word of mouth – and 99.999999% of the population – will never know who the fuck they are.’

I suggested that he may be suffering from the same secret condition.

‘When you are secret it doesn’t feel very fun, right now I am the

best kept secret in Australian music, no one knows that I exist, it’s heartbreaking – every week someone comes up into me in the street and says I really love MGF and I wish you were playing music again, I say no you weren’t, and I feel like stabbing them in the eye!’

So why music? Why get out and do it again?

‘It’s a drug – I’m not happy unless I do it. I was never any different. At school I was the kid scribbling weird shit in a book somewhere – I was entranced with Michael Dransfield, an Australian poet who died in his 20s and a lot of his poems were about wanting to be a poet in a world where poetry was irrelevant, and I would read his poems as a 16 year old and thought I fuck won’t become a poet reading a poet about

‘When I was in Year 9 I got caned by a teacher on the first day who said to me that I can tell by looking at you that you are going to be a pain in the arse. Everyone always thinks I am taking the piss. People say I can’t get a straight answer, can you just give me a straight answer?

I am giving a straight answer. It’s the curse of a cheeky face. If I was one of those Indiana Jones movies, it would be Indiana Jones and The Curse of the Cheeky Face’.

Pinky is a boy who spent a good deal of time being sent outside. ’I would put my hand up to ask a question that I really wanted to know and they would say get out.

I am a very very curious person.

People have asked me a lot of questions over the years and I don’t get stroppy and send them outside... if I had power, that’s what I’d do. I’d be a great Prime Minister.

Right – my office now. I’d have a queue of six million people outside my office.’

So Pinky’s latest revelation?

A few weeks back I was showing my boobs on page two. For a woman as liberal about nudity as myself I must admit that it was a little embarrassing.

For an entire week I was conscious about every glance, every snicker and was constantly greeted with ‘Oh, didn’t recognise you with your clothes on.’

It’s rather uncomfortable having a serious motherly conversation with a parent in the school yard knowing that inside The Echo they are holding. . . is my naked body. My kids got to experience more

JUMPING JACK FLASH of the maternal shame that they are becoming accustomed to. My eldest daughter has started a new school, and has made me promise not to turn up as she is intending to keep her identity a secret. If my mother posed naked in the local paper when I was a kid I would have needed trauma counselling. (I have put some money aside in a trust account for their future therapy.)

Of course it was all in the name of art. Having been an artist model throughout university and being a part time painter myself, being nude for a bunch of artists is not uncomfortable. I was unprepared for the fact that they all had cameras, and am hoping that images have been dealt with appropriately, ie. posted on Facebook or MySpace. of the greatest originals ever written by so many peoples’ favourite artists from around the 60’s like Wild Horses by the Rolling Stones, Across the Universe by the Beatles, Castles made of Sand by Jimi Hendrix and Cowgirl in the Sand by Neil Young.

Kasey Chambers has sold well over a million albums and become one of Australia’s most respected female performers. For the first time, fans around the country will see Kasey perform in intimate acoustic mode.

Supported onstage by Shane Nicholson and her muso dad, Bill Chambers – the show is a chance to experience Kasey’s music and the inimitable charm of her live show - in the stripped back style she does so well. Kasey is thrilled to be performing at places she has never toured as well as places she hasn’t been in many years. Kasey took a well-earned 18 month break to give birth to baby Arlo, with husband Shane Nicholson. She plays the Lismore Worker’s Club on Wednesday 25 June.

During the session I asked for any pose requests. I can recline, turn, bend... do all the things we tend to do in the nude. One young artist was swift to reply: ‘Can you do a starjump?’

I was gobsmacked. A starjump? That would be the move where one leaps in the air and splits the arms and the legs. It’s not a dignified move clothed. It’s downright pornographic when you’re naked. At a moment in time one is mid air with legs apart.

That’s a money shot. I refused. But she insisted.

She might as well have requested to see my labia.

I was insistent. It’s a bit of a boob flinger as well. It’s an eighties move from the time of lycra g-strings, leg warmers and headbands.

Their current single ‘Just A Boy’ is receiving fantastic reviews from the UK press with Indielondon. co.uk describing the song as ‘an upbeat combo of folksy guitars, piano chords and bracing harmonica that reflects on the innocence of a young boy’s love-struck observations’ while back home Time Off said ‘Angus’s effortlessly smooth croon leads the listener through a poignant narration about the innocence of youth.’

KASEY CHAMBERS @ LISMORE WORKER’S CLUB 25 JUNE

TAKE A POLAROID Byron Bay quintet Polaroid Fame are proud to announce the release of their debut single Facing Extinction.

Hailing from Bryon Bay, this band is not another acoustic rootsy band singing about the ocean. Their debut single is a driving alternative rock foray that is soaked in a healthy dose of pop alchemy. Facing Extinction highlights the band’s depth of hook nuance, yet merely hints at their musical depth. Featuring an anthemic chorus and cluster bomb guitar line, Facing Extinction is a magniďŹ cent introduction to the musical wealth that is Polaroid Fame.

This collection of talented musicians is not so easily classiďŹ ed – their inventive sound is a fresh and unique offering to the thriving local music scene. The catchy upbeat tunes on their most recent EP Another Place To Live offers the listener pop rock hooks and lashings of electric riffs. Polaroid Fame’s strong roots were nurtured in the simplest of inceptions.

While studying, songwriter and lead singer Frankie met

bassist Mitch and the duo formed the core of what was once known as The Frankie Band. Frankie’s childhood friend Damian soon joined on lead guitar as did drummer Chris, and then keyboardist Zoe ďŹ nally completed the sound. They play the Beach Hotel on Thursday.

CULTURE THEATRE TWITS ON THE WAY Roald Dahl created some truly revolting characters in his time, but surely few can compare to the noxiousness of Mr and Mrs Twit. The same crew who brought you The Big Friendly Giant, The Byron Bay Theatre Company, are staging a production at the Byron Community Centre set to be wonderfully funny, physical and inventive.

It’s scheduled for the last week of July school holidays.

15 – 19 July.

FILM UNFINISHED SKY When a badly injured woman who speaks no English stumbles onto an isolated farm, the property owner has no choice but to take her in.

John (William McInnes) has lived alone since the death of his wife in mysterious circumstances. He doesn’t welcome visitors, including the police, and decides to let her stay until she recovers and he can send her on her way. But there are people looking for her… Unfinished Sky screens at Byron Cinemas on Sunday 16 at 4pm, in a special preview event that’s also a fundraiser

for the Byron Writers Festival. Join Director Peter Duncan and film reviewer Peter Thompson for a postfilm discussion and Q&A after this superb film. Tickets $16.50 on sale at Byron Cinemas now.

TALKING CRICKET ADFAS Byron Bay & District will be hosting a lecture The Art of Cricket presented

by Richard Mulvaney on Monday at the A& I Hall in Bangalow at 7.30pm.

Cricket is one of our earliest leisure past-times and dates to the early medieval period in England. The earliest references to cricket appear in church manuscripts in the mid 13th century. By the 17th and 18th centuries it was recorded in a diverse range of artistic expression. Discuss all the cultural and literature related references. $20 including supper.

WHALE ACTION People are invited to participate in National Whale Day on Saturday Starting at 11am at Little Watego’s for a ceremony and later moving to the Byron Peace Pole for the sunset ceremony.

INTRODUCING BANDTAG

Ajax got voted Australian No. 1 DJ in 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007 by various magazines and dance industry connoisseurs and hailed the DJ to watch out for in 2008 by DJ Magazine. He has remixed Princess Superstar, Midnight Juggernauts, The Emergency, Naïve New Beaters and the Valentinos.

Ajax’s own label launched officially in February 2008 signing acts like Gameboy Gamegirl, Act Yo Age, Hey Now, Redial and Miami Horror who is joining Ajax on his tour. Sweat It Out is a feel good double CD with a separate mix each

by Ajax and Miami Horror.

Disco, Electro, Rave, Breaks, Brazilian rhythms and rhymes, House, Soul, Funk, 80s, Rap and Indie Pop Rock, all is in the mix.

Miami Horror’s mix pushes the fun button again and both CDs are mixed by creative hands featuring plenty of their own work and acts from the Sweat It Out label. The CD double-pack is original in its song choice and overall artistry including the cover’s graphic design.

A Bandtag is like a digital business card that the musicians sell directly to their fans at gigs. The band tags carry a code which will enable the user to download the tracks or purchase something physical and collectible. Check it out at www.bandtag.com This release is about good times, and Sweat It Out turns out to be an ace listen, fastpaced and energetic with unexpected twists and turns.

No doubt it will get priority play at any house party where the roof comes down and debauchery is on the menu. Amongst the widely known acts and tracks, there are also underground favorites such as Boy’s Noize, Riot in Belgium, Diplo, Cut Copy, Nine Lives, Chromeo, Bagraiders, Crookers, Larry Tee and the label’s own Act Yo Age and Gameboy/ Gamegirl.

Q: What’s the motivation behind this latest mix CD of yours and Miami Horror?

A: ‘It’s basically to showcase the label, like a Sweat It Out

mega mix but we don’t have enough dance floor bombs yet so with this first mix it’s more just a rocking party mix CD featuring some stuff off the label and our favorite jams.’

Q: How would you describe Miami Horror?

A: ‘He knows I think he’s a weirdo, but he knows I love him just the same. Ben is a perfectionist, and in this blog world where it’s all pats on backs and stroking each others egos he is a breath of fresh air. He is blunt and very honest’ Q: What does No. 1 DJ mean to you?

A: ‘Nothing. I am grateful for those people who put me there... it was very nice of them and I appreciate

Seeming as this is a hot topic with musicians since the ‘digital revolution’ (check out the repeat of SBS program Insight) I think this is perhaps a first positive step to enable fans without credit cards to purchase directly off the artist. The artist in turn will get a chance to connect personally and perhaps make it more attractive for fans to actually buy their material rather than downloading indiscriminately for free and without considering the financial support most artists need to pursue composing new material.

STARS

WITH LILITH FRIENDLY AND GREGARIOUS STARS FOR SOCIALIZING THIS WEEK – UNTIL THIS YEAR’S FRIDAY 13TH LIVES UP TO ITS EVIL REP. WITH FREAK ACCIDENTS WAITING TO HAPPEN AND MISCALCULATIONS EASILY MADE, KNOCKING THINGS OVER, BUMPING INTO STUFF OR TRIPPING UP IS YOUR CUE TO TAKE CARE… ARIES: Yes, you’re confident, charismatic and convincing, but this week won’t be controlled or pinned down – it’s you who’ll have to adapt.

So let others have their say, stay open to suggestion, be prepared to change your perspective – and remember your choice of language is important.

Byron Shire Echo June 10 2008 25

TAURUS: This week your presentation’s impressive and your organizing skills awesome, but be aware when other peoples’ attractive or persuasive agendas aren’t necessarily in your best interests. A time to listen, learn, and let new ideas take you places you might not otherwise go.

GEMINI: Far from the madding crowd is unquestionably this frenzied week’s most peaceful address, but not one you effervescent social butterflies will be attracted to. While you’re dazzling the populace with wit and wild ideas, remember late week clashes will need sensitive handling.

CANCER: If you think everyone’s out of touch with their feelings right now, you’re not wrong – but they’re rolling with the punches just like you are. Seriously consider this week what changes you’re prepared to make to bring you in synch with these changing times.

LEO: Play host/hostess with the most/mostess to the hilt this week – but during end of the week eruptions and upheavals relationships could ignite, explode or go into a major wobble. It’s respectfully recommended that your

dynamic Majesty listens at least as much as you speak…

VIRGO: Be clear, slow down, relax, and don’t imagine difficulties where they don’t exist this week. While others might be unreliable or high maintenance, they’re also lots of laughs so enjoy at least some of this week’s entertainment – a little healthy frivolity’s a good immune booster.

LIBRA: A saucy week of wining, dining and brainstorming new ideas. An educational time too, when staying open to feedback pays off. While gossip’s a given, you needn’t give it credence – though others probably will, launching you into all manner of diplomatic and peace keeping missions.

SCORPIO: If people are irritatingly flippant and superficial this week, at least that’s better than being surrounded by a pack of whingers – though if they think you’ll tone down your trademark intensity to fit their frivolity they’ve got another think coming. As if… Friday 13th can work for you.

SAGITTARIUS: This week’s ideas have legs, but don’t let them run away with you.

Some are definitely worth taking to the next level but honey, what’s the rush? While it mightn’t be your style to take one measured, slow, steady step at a time, right now it’s advisable.

Sudoku Puzzle

CAPRICORN: This week suggests you broaden your viewpoint, consider alternative strategies, update your technology and improve personal communications.

And if people aren’t taking you seriously, join them – it’s an easy week to lighten up and enjoy some psychic weight loss.

AQUARIUS: This week’s trio of planets in the sign of new ideas loosens a seized cog in your thinking and suddenly there’s a lot more options than you thought you had. Exciting ones, too. But try not to talk the talk before you’re ready to walk the walk…

PISCES: Theoretically this is one of the year’s most eloquent, stimulating and entertaining weeks. Definitely not for sitting alone in your room so go join the cabaret.

Or invite it over to your place where you can be as flirtatious, artistic and outrageous as you please.

To solve a Sudoku puzzle you must place every number from 1 to 9 in: • Each of the nine vertical columns • Each of the nine horizontal rows • Each of the nine 3x3 boxes No number can occur more than once in any row, column or box.

Anand: too relaxed against Ivanchuk at Leon?

Celebrating the misfortunes of others is not considered good form, but Vladimir Kramnik could be forgiven for enjoying a few chuckles this week as he watched his world title rival Viswanathan Anand suffer the humiliation of the second fastest defeat in the Indian’s long career.

In 1988, when he was already World Junior Champion, Anand created all sorts of unwanted records by losing a game in six moves at a tournament in Switzerland.

(1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.Nxe5 d6 4.Nf3 Nxe4 5.Nc3 Bf5??

6.Qe2! 1-0 was the abrupt finish of Zapata-Anand.)

Though he denied it, it was widely believed that Anand, with his near-photographic memory, had been following a recently-published game between two leading grandmasters, Miles and Christiansen, where Black had tried the disastrous 5…Bf5 but White had played a reply other than 6.Qe2.

What Anand could not have known was that the MilesChristiansen game had been a pre-arranged draw, where neither player cared much what they played since the result had

been predetermined. In fact Miles noticed Christiansen’s mistake, brushed some dust off the e2 square to indicate to Christiansen that he could win immediately, but then honoured the (illegal) agreement by playing something else.

Two decades later Anand, now World Champion, has lost another miniature in similar fashion, by following a precedent without checking the moves for himself.

At a rapid tournament in Leon, Spain, last week, Anand and Vassily Ivanchuk were tied at 1.5-1.5, with first prize hanging on the result of their fourth and final encounter.

Anand had lost the first game of the match but bounced back in the second game and seemingly had momentum on his side. Then, after a hard-fought draw in the third game, came the following shocker…

A heavy blow for Anand, though perhaps he could argue that, with a $2.5m world title match only four months away, it is better to get as many bad moves out of his system as possible before the serious stuff begins.

1. Arachnophobe’s nightmare: The Incredible Shrinking Man (ABC1, Thursday night 12.25am), an early SFX movie that still exerts a shuddery fascination.

Byron Shire Echo June 10 2008 29

CINEMA THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA: PRINCE CASPIAN This is nowhere near as good as its prequel, The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe’ not that that was a classic either.

Edmund, Susan, Peter and the intuitive Lucy are back, albeit with the two eldest a tad long in the tooth for the fairytale – indeed, Susan looks primed to produce a litter of full cream Tories in Tunbridge Wells any day soon. Like Harry, Ron and Hermione (and Paddington Bear), their new adventure kicks off at a London railway station, in this case The Strand, which is probably the only one left with the lovely old tiles needed to establish the early post-War era in which our heroes are

living. From there they are whooshed away into the parallel world of Narnia, where generations have passed in the Earthly year that they have been absent.

Naturally, everything has gone pear-shaped in the enchanted kingdom, with a really nasty piece of work, the pointy-bearded King Miraz (he would have been played by Basil Rathbone in an earlier age) having made a grab for power and forcing into exile the pretty Prince Caspian, who looks more like a pouting Slav from the pro tennis circuit than a potential Che who is destined to lead a peasants’ revolt. Actually, they are not peasants whom he is supported by, but all the animals of the forest, as well as dwarves (vertically challenged people, as we know them) and noble centaurs. Aslan the lion, the spiritual head of this outcast population, is featured less than in the earlier instalment, and for Liam Neeson who does the voice, it is money for old rope. ‘Things never

happen the same way twice,’ Aslan (who, like many characters, varies in proportionate size) tells Lucy, before leaving the scene for an hour or so, at which point he reappears and again advises the girl that ‘things never happen the same way twice.’ Either she is a desperately slow learner or the scriptwriters simply could not be bothered with tidying up the repetition (unless they are making a perverse joke) in their haste to get to the technological indulgences of the fighting when, though bloodless, violence takes over the second half of the movie. I’ve not read the books, but I’d be surprised if C. S. Lewis created a work of such lasting popularity that is as superficial and dumb as this adaptation would suggest. ~ John Campbell

GONE BABY GONE Gone Baby Gone is directed and co-written by Ben Affleck (and is his first feature in such a role). The story is taken from a book

by Dennis Lehane. Affleck’s

work behind the camera is so self-assured and so knowing that this marks the arrival of a brilliant new voice in cinema. Affleck’s love for Boston has not changed in the decade since Good Will Hunting, and this appreciation for such a tightly knit area is essential to the story itself, and to those in it including the tone of having lived on the same block all their lives. The same vibe was used to great effect in Mystic River (another Lehane adaptation). Gone Baby Gone is a masterful work, going beyond the boundaries of simple detective thriller and into the realm of intelligent, morally complex drama. ~ Lounge Cinema

Anyone who, like me, plants themselves ďŹ rmly in front of the cookbook section of bookshops would be familiar with her name, if not her actual books. Jody Vassallo has become almost synonymous with a certain style of cook-bookery identiďŹ able with contemporary Australian food publications, a style exempliďŹ ed by the likes of Donna Hay and Bill Grainger – both with whom Jody has worked – and characterised by simplicity, clarity, and breathtaking photography you could almost eat.

It was, in fact, thanks to Donna Hay that Jody’s career was launched about sixteen years ago. Jody was working as a massage therapist at the time; when circumstances conspired against her, her sister’s best friend Donna suggested that she do the same Home Economics course at East Sydney Tech that Donna herself had recently completed.

There ensued what Jody describes as a â€˜ďŹ‚uid motion’, a series of unfolding opportunities which seemed to unerringly strike at the right time in the right place. While she was undertaking her two-year course she did handmodelling for Family Circle Step-By-Step recipes, going on to work for another four years as Donna’s assistant at Murdoch Publications (Murdoch being at the time the greatest publisher of cookbooks in the world). She was writing and testing recipes, coordinating with chefs, doing photo shoots, building up a whole library of the little books which to this day continue to be reprinted (and which have just been repackaged), collaborating on Le Cordon Bleu collection of cookbooks which required, poor girl, being own over to Paris. She recalls the excitement of working in food publishing at that time, a time when Marie Claire was dramatically changing the way the world looked at food photography. For the past four or ďŹ ve years she has been with the French publishers Hachette, as food stylist, cook, recipe designer/creator, and cookbook author. It is a life she loves, involving as it does extensive travel, taking her to parts of the world where she can shop in the local markets and strike up conversations with strangers who may often invite her back to their own homes. Jody describes sitting on the oor of humble kitchens watching women whip up extraordinary feasts in primitive conditions, and her face radiates the sheer joy of the experience.

She tells me that she has changed considerably from the sort of person

she once was – that she is much more humble, preferring to remain within the boundaries of health and nutrition and simplicity, to impart all she knows to other people rather than seek to dazzle and to ‘bamboozle’. In fact her chief focus has long been nutrition – added to all the aforementioned ‘hats’ is that of yoga teacher, although when I ask her if the yoga is a means of counterbalancing the preoccupation with food, she explains that, on the contrary, it is bound up in it, and that the Ayurvedic medicine she is currently studying has its foundation in food. (She goes on to say that you cannot participate in any of her yoga classes – she teaches at Belongil – without talking about food, food and its seasons, food as spiritual sustenance, food as recipes to be exchanged and shared. These sound like my kind of yoga classes!)

I want to know about the recipe-testing – which she conducts in her perfectly modest Bangalow cottage together with assistant and friend Trace Gordon (ex Wild Bite wonder woman). ‘How many times,’ I ask, ‘do you test a recipe?’ Jody tells me that these days, being more experienced and more selfdisciplined, it is rarely more than three times, though when she started out it was up to ďŹ ve times. Sometimes, she says, you just know that something is going to work – citing an instance of Green Tea Pannacotta which she refused to give up on despite Trace’s conviction to the contrary. It ended up being – and looking – as divine as she had believed it could be.See more at http://jodyvassallo.com

MATT COOKS FOR QUALITY There may well be sightings of celebrity chef and star of Channel Nine’s The Chopping Block, Matt Moran, around the traps on the last Saturday of June.

Together with up to 20 Camp Quality children (children whose lives are affected by cancer), he will be involved in a photo shoot at various locations around Byron Bay, to be transformed into a 2009 Camp Quality Cooking Calendar. Utilising the skills of professional photographer Dallas Nock, the calendar aims to raise $15,000 for programs designed to bring ‘fun therapy’ to children and their families living with cancer in Northern NSW. The calendars will be sold throughout the branches of the Bananacoast Credit Union all along the coast of NSW from September, and will feature practical, use-at-home recipes devised by Matt himself

Sports Roundup with Eve Jeffery

results@echo.net.au

Zen and the art of the Modern Horse maintenance Eve Jeffery When I was a kid I did little aths on Saturday mornings. I used to love to run and the faster the better.

Sometimes it felt like flying.

Everyone wanted to be the fastest kid. Oh yes there was high jumping and triple jumping and long jumping and hurdling, and the even nerdier discus and nerdier still, the shot put; but it was fast that you really wanted to be. Not 400 metres fast either. The 400 hundred was a chatting race. You started all serious but it was too long for ten year old legs and half way along the back straight it became gossip and giggle territory and no one really cared who won, it was a long distance race. Semi nerd.

The 200 didn’t warrant all that much more effort because in reality the 200 metres was almost long distance, but the 60 metres was too short to even be called a race – it was for babies.

The only race worth winning was the hundred metres.

Short and sharp but long enough to get into stride.

No one really spoke to each other before the hundred. All thoughts of friendly 400 metres chattiness evaporated with arrival of the bloke with the gun.

Sidelong glances either way told you who was starting from the blocks and who was a standing, (only real athletes started in the blocks, any grade 4-er knew that!).

The kids that started upright knew their place in the food chain. Either they were really slow or not sure if they were fast enough to look like they needed the blocks. Count them out.

If you put your fingers on the ground for a block start you were making a statement

Moonshiners

Even though John Walker loves to run throught the streets of Ocean Shores, he still puts in plenty of hours on his ‘Modern Horse’. Photo Tree Faerie.

a la Gunfight at the OK Corral. And if you carefully placed an arched hand minutely behind the line on one side, then methodically on the other, there was a chance that you had done this before. Brushing away an imaginary dust mite under your index finger was also a nice added effect.

Stretching one leg out long behind you (toe nicely pointed thank you), and placing it painstakingly into position then repeating this at length with much twisting and shaking on the other side, was a sure fire message to all watching, that you were a contender and probably a future Olympian. At least a silver medallist.

The block start was a dangerous thing. Accidents had happened and the gods of little aths would not help anyone who could not back up the ritualistic preparation with some serious speed.

Heaven help any hapless lass who at the sound of the gun, face planted and got a mouth full of red cinders and a huge cricketer’s rash down the front of her club uniform Not that that ever happened to me. Twice.

Back in the day when I was still cleaning the cinder stains out of my t-shirt, another athlete was running around the globe.

John Walker who has been racing on the north coast for over thirty years and has probably covered more miles on foot and bike than many humans travel in a life.

John is a very recognizable figure to anyone who lives at the northern end of the shire.

He can be seen daily running (barefoot), or cycling through the streets. ‘My favourite run is from Billinudgel through the Ocean Shores golf course right down to New Brighton Beach and back.’

The premiers played Ban- score of 3-0. A fitting result the standout performance on the day from the lion hearted galow and the first half saw for a great day of soccer.

John who looks a fit and healthy late forty-ish, likes to express physical wellbeing through exercise. He is a US and World Masters champion and informs me that in some sports, competitive ‘masters’ can be as young as twenty-five, but hints that he is ‘somewhere in his mumble mumble sixties’. From the experience he has clocked up I suspect he is bordering on septuagenarianism.

Having a relatively late start in competiton at age 13, in the Harriers, or winter cross country in his home country of New Zealand, John was an odds on racer and who won a gold medal at the New Zealand Amateur Championships in the 1500 metres. The race was also an Olympic time trial.

John never made it to Rome in 1960 as his career was cut short, almost fatally, when he broke his neck in a car accident.

‘I was instructed not to run ever again. It took me about eighteen months before I stopped listening to that advice and I started competitive walking. Contrary to what was expected of my physical future, I qualified for the Commonwealth Games in the 20 mile walk, but couldn’t raise the £1800 return airfare to Jamaica, so I had to relinquish that spot.’

Born in Cambridge NZ, John left home and began to conquer the world, living and competing in 16 cities on the planet including the Uk, India (training as a novice Buddhist), teaching aerobic conditioning and breathing techniques to American high altitude mountain climbers at Everest base camp, (having studied the art with a bloke called Edmund Percival Hillary), and in South Africa where he also studied zoology and competed for the SA University, before finally settling in Australia in the 70’s.

John has a bagful of medals – some of the older ones are literally gold and silver, proof that John was and still is a force to be reckoned with on the world stage, after 20 years he still holds the record in the World Masters for the mile which he raced in a time of 3 minutes 52.

Having a stash of gold and silver from all the recent World Masters, John is reluctant to travel abroad these days, preferring to compete locally and train our athletic future.

And after five wives and 18 children, (no folks that’s not a typo), John is happy to hang around the shire helping out future championships in all manner of training and techniques to give

them the edge in professional athletics, recently developing a cycling warmup for Beijing athletes.

‘I also train juniors. I am a specialist at warm up so I am promoting warm up with the younger age groups, and teaching a lot of body core exercises, and I wind some tai chi and yoga in as well.

‘I’ve done that much flying in my life I don’t really want to do any more. Aeronautics today is not something that makes me feel very confident.

I’m happy to stay at home.’

His main event at present is the 2k steeple chase, not bad for a bloke who qualifies for the mature aged pension, and his current venture, the Modern Horse, is about artistic expression and its connection with low cost transport for the homeless and unemployed by reusing discarded cycle pieces.

‘The Modern Horse is actually about using recycled cycles, we just deal in second hand. Our aim is to promote cycling as a form of transport. We also are given a lot of old bikes that we use for parts to make up bikes.’

Next for John is the Asia Pacific games later this year on the Gold Coast in November where he will ‘probably compete in 8 or 9 events.’ I’d wish him luck but I don’t think he needs it.

There will be an exhibition of the art works for the Modern Horse on Friday June 27 to Friday July 11 at the corner of Gaggin Street and Ocean Avenue, next to Pippi’s Cafe in New Brighton. For more info visit www.themodernhorse.com.

P.S. John never face planted into the cinders, so we shall not speak of such things again!

Mullum to Bruns update The Mullum to Bruns is now less than 8 weeks away so get ready for Sunday August 3.

Organisers signed up more entrants at Saturday’s Bruns market and there is a ground swell of interest in the event.

There are so far two 7 year olds racing, one running and one walking and a 2 year old girl who will be pushed by mum in a stroller. A Brunswick Heads couple are now the oldest entrants so far at 69 and 65. August 3 birthday girl Tanaya Narby from South Golden Beach, will celebrate her big one O by walking the inaugural race.

The Mullum to Bruns crew want to encourage the early bird entries as they need to know participant numbers before the day of the event.

To qualify as an early bird entry, postal entries must be received by July 7, PayPal online entries close at 10 pm on July 30 and direct debit online entry closes at 3 pm on July 28.

Early bird entry fees are $10/under 19, $20 for 19+ and $40 for families. Late entry fees cost is $15 for under 19, $30 for 19 and over, and $60 for a family.

All money raised wil be donated to the Brunswick Valley Rescue Squad and to the Indigenous Australia programs of Oxfam.

The race still needs more volunteers and the best contact is via email: mehil@ mullumtobruns.org.au For all other raceday information about the event visit www.mullumtobruns. org.au

All Girls Surf Showdown

The Ocean Shores Ladies Bowling Club Cancer Council Morning Tea (and bowls), as part of the national campaign in the fight against cancer, was a great success. All ladies looked beautiful in their pink outfits. Tickets in their monster hamper raffles were sold over a couple of weeks prior to the event as well as three ‘100 Club’ sheets. A grand total of $1,155 was raised for a great cause and the ladies were very proud of their effort. They invite anyone come them on their greens at the Ocean Shores Country Club. Everyone is very welcome.

Windy weather and rain squalls during the competition finals made for difficult conditions for this years All Girls Surf Showdown held at Lennox Head over the long weekend Conditions were so blustery on the final day that the organisers tents were nearly blown away.

An almsot local four girl final made for exciting competition yesterday afternoon as the ladies battled each other, the wind, the rain and choppy surf conditons in a tight event.

Over a weekend of fairly consistent 1-2 metre waves, the heats were a tough challenge for the girls who put on an excellent show for surf supporters.

In unfavourable condi-

tions the Pros kept coming back for more in two rounds of gruelling heats through the semis and onto the finals held yesterday afternoon. In the end it was the out of towner who managed to fight off the locals, the winner Laura Enever hailing from North Narabeen.

The place getters in the Pro event were 2nd Laurina McGrath (Lennox), 3rd Pauline Menczer (Ocean Shores), and Crystal Vail (Byron Bay).

Special mention must be made of Philippa Anderson who made it to the semis of the Open Pro heats after a fantastic win in the under 16s event. Second place in that event went to another Lennox lass Lyla Wright.

Other winners on the day were in the Open B Grade Skye Burgess, and in the 28 and over division Jenny Bog-

M Clark/M Fleming. Thanks to Diana Gall re her lesson.

Are you looking for rapid capital growth?

WE ARE! “BUYERS AGENTS GET YOU RESULTS�

Interest rate rises have been making investing in property a challenging exercise. You can no longer just buy property and hope it goes up. Holding costs can eat away your equity faster than it is gained. You need both high returns and capital growth.

We are currently sourcing properties with returns of up to 7.5% and capital growth of up to $100k within the ďŹ rst year of purchasing.

WE HAVE THE ANSWER These properties are located within booming resource rich areas in South Australia and Queensland. At Blue Horizons we are constantly researching to give you the edge when investing. We search throughout Australia, ďŹ nding high yielding and rapid capital growth properties for our clients. Through our combined buying power, we are able to achieve below market value for house and land packages from $300,000 and existing housing from $200,000 with excellent rental returns.

Call Corr Piccone to discuss your goals in property investment and see how Blue Horizons can help you achieve them.

Frank Sartor’s bid to steal planning decisions from local councils was pushed through a late night sitting last week.

However, there will be a debate in the Upper House on Tuesday June 17 about whether to send the Bill to an inquiry. The Government does not have the majority of seats in the Upper House so in order to defeat the call for an inquiry and have the Bill passed it must rely on crossbench members to support it. There are eight members of the cross-bench. The four Greens and Dr Moyes have indicated they support an inquiry. The Shooters Party representatives Robert Brown and Roy Smith and the Christian Democrat Fred Nile have not yet stated their position. Wouldn’t it be cool for Byron Shire residents to let those three members of the Upper House know what we think of Sartor’s Bill?

Remember, you only have one week to persuade them to vote for an enquiry. Take aim at Robert Brown (Shooters Party) robert.brown@ parliament.nsw.gov.au, Roy Smith (Shooters Party)roy. smith@parliament.nsw.gov. au and the Rev Fred Nile (Christian Democratic Party) F.Nile@parliament.nsw.gov.au.

Q Q Q Q Cr Tom Tabart wants council meetings to move back to the evenings and has put up a notice of motion to that effect. His reasoning? ‘The move to daytime meetings was predicated by the inability of the current council to conclude meetings within a reasonable time frame. This action has resulted in the inabilty of many working constituents to attend – a regrettable shrinking of the democratic process. In addition the daytime schedule unreasonably restricts the ability of many citizens to stand for election leaving a

very narrow pool of relatively unemcumbered individuals as prospective councillors.

Nightime meetings may also have the effect of restricting the endemic prolixity of those on office and lead to shorter, more effective meetings.’ We doubt it.

Q Q Q Q We forgot to mention last week that David Vidler’s book Dancin’ at the Seabreeze – Stories of old Byron Bay is available at Mary Ryan’s, Byron Bay,The Bookshop, Mullumbimby, The Book Gallery, Brunswick Heads, Noah’s Ark, Lismore, or call David on 0427 546 092.

Q Q Q Q And apparently the mobile number we had for Phil the bicycle recycler in last week’s Backlash was wrong. The correct number – we hope – is 0413 779 223.

Q Q Q Q Mullum once boasted three pubs and is now left with just one after the closure of the Chinny. Rumours are rife about what will happen next, including talk of Coles and six retail shops.

23rd year, and we celebrate in part with the launch of our revamped website, where you can now view video and the surf at Brunswick Heads, among other things. How things have changed since the

1980s when we used to stick pages together with Cow Gum. No part of the cow was used in creating cow gum, by the way, but it could be rolled up into big balls and bounced off buildings.
