Byron Forum uncovers anxieties

Jann Gilbert Above all the paradoxes, contradictions, controversy and angst, it was courage, vision and a call to action that characterised the first Byron Social Forum last weekend. Beginning with a panel discussion on Friday night, chaired by ABC 7.30 Report presenter Kerry O’Brien, the forum posed the question, ‘Is another Byron possible?’ Given the pressure cooker of issues that fill the letters pages of local media every week, the packed house at the event, which overflowed into the courtyard, was hardly surprising – likewise the passionate and lively debate that many of the issues raised on Friday night and across the weekend. In opening proceedings and introducing the panellists Mr O’Brien confessed to feeling that, while he’d faced John Howard and other seasoned politicians, given the topic and its implications, the night ahead was likely to be one of the hardest in his career. Each panellist was given five minutes to express ideas on the question posed that was followed by a further 10 minutes of questions from the audience. The six panellists represented views from across the community with Yvonne Stewart speaking on behalf of the Arakwal nation, Eka Darville representing youth, Jan Dawkins on social issues, John Gudgeon representing the business community, Cheze Darville representing cultural issues and Dailan Pugh representing the environment. Needless to say the issues that raised the most ire and debate centred around social, cultural and environmental concerns regarding the impacts of tourism and development, and the lack of infrastructure. The subject of holiday letting generated a rowdy and passionate volley between community members and panellist, John Gudgeon,

whose other hat (as President of the HLO) he seemed disinclined to wear for the evening. Yvonne Stewart’s response included issues such as the inequity in employment and training opportunities for Aboriginal people in the Shire, the difficulty of caring for elders, and in healing much of the trauma of Aboriginal people given the negative press generated by the intervention and an ongoing lack of resources. Ms Stewart pointed out that over the past 14 years much of the Arakwal nation’s time and energy had gone into securing Native Title, and that this process had in fact saved a great deal of land around Byron Bay by classifying it as National Parks, Marine Parks and Nature Reserves. It was also revealed later in the evening that the Arakwal nation had recently donated the land to Council on which the new library is to be built. On behalf of youth Eka Darville posed an eloquent and intelligent response, raising issues including venues, activities, transport and employment. Eka’s other Byron called for sufficient funding for youth programs and venues (such as Street Cruise and the YAC), and a commitment to making youth a priority rather than ‘a problem to be fixed’. Jan Dawkins’ response on social issues raised questions of the plight of the homeless in Byron, mental health, drug and alcohol abuse, financial hardship and the cost of housing, and also highlighted the ratio of visitors to locals and the strain on services and residents as a consequence. Cheze Darville called for the reinstatement of cultural values, venues and spaces, and an increased tolerance for the diversity of culture, which originally brought people to the area, to overcome the grow-

ing homogenous face of the town. Dailan Pugh completed the panel presentations with an impassioned plea for the environment and development of a stronger community voice to balance the increasing boom of vested interests. In closing, Mr O’Brien aptly identified that, while many of the issues raised were intertwined, clearly Byron was ‘a town of contradictions’ where wealthy vested inter-

est and community had made for uncomfortable bedfellows. In summary, ‘not indicative of a healthy culture.’ Following the Friday night session, workshops held on Saturday at the YAC looked at many of the issues raised. With organisaton provided by Paul Spooner, Pavita and a host of volunteers, participants broke into groups to discuss the topics, and come up continued on page 3

The Pink Ladies bow out

The Pink Ladies of the Byron Bay and District Hospital Auxiliary met for one last hurrah at the Brunswick Heads Hotel yesterday afternoon as guests of the Cornells. After 32 years of volunteer fundraising, flower arranging and seasonal decorating, the ladies are calling it quits as the current group is ageing and they simply can’t find any younger recruits. Auxiliary President Phyllis Barnes said it was sad the see the end of an era. ‘We are all getting too old to keep the Pink Ladies going but there have been no young ones to take our place. John and Delvine invited us to lunch as recognition for the work we have done. The Ladies will finish up at the end of the month.’

Whale lovers gathered on the IFAW’s (International Fund for Animal Welfare) National Whale Day, June 14, united by their love of whales and the marine environment. They met to send a message to those at the upcoming International Whaling Commission (IWC) that the world’s oceans should be a sanctuary where all whales and dolphins should be able to swim free. Local filmmaker and whale ally, Dean Jefferys, will be leaving for Chile next week to do stories at the IWC meeting for Bay FM and The Echo. He will be joining other Byron locals including Humpback Whale Migration Icon Project Coordinator Howie Cooke, surfer Dave Rastovich and photographers Hilton Dawe and Hannah Fraser, who are in Chile participating in a Surfers for Cetaceans surfing pilgrimage down the coast, gathering energy and support when the 60th meeting of the IWC takes place in Chile to discuss the fate of the world’s whales.

Yuzuki from Yokohama seemed to be wondering why her country’s government couldn’t find a kinder way to study whales.

whale lovers. More than 1.5 million people go whale watching in our country each year injecting close to $300 million into the economy. Yet the mainstay of our whale watching industry, the humpback whale, may face Japanese whalers’ harpoons at the end of this year as Japan is poised to expand its so-called ‘scientiďŹ c’ whaling program in the Antarctic. Jefferys said, ‘This year Japan wants to kill 50 of the humpbacks that pass Byron’s and WA’s shores. There are many things we can do to stop this barbaric act. The humpbacks are calling, its time to give a bit of energy back. ’I am very disappointed with Labor’s current position on whale protection. They said they would take Japan to the International Court of the Seas but after a recent trip to Japan, the Foreign Minister, Mr Smith, said they would put that plan on hold. ‘So noticing that we can’t rely on governments to bring

about change I have developed a website (www.myspace.com/whalingdontbuyit). The site will allow people to see and upload photographs of products from whaling nations to boycott. ‘People and consumer power can win this one.With the future of the world’s whales again in the balance when the International Whaling Commission (IWC) meets on the June 23, this is not just to protest against Japanese whaling, but is a call to the Rudd Government to get serious on whale protection and to take legal action to bring Japanese scientific whaling to an end once and for all.’ Visit www.planetearthinternettv.com where Dean Jefferys will be doing live internet feeds and edited reports every day.

Tradesmen provide a soft fall for school One of the greatest inventions of the late 20th century was the playground rubber ‘softfall’, a surface that is designed to absorb impacts from falls, and to minimise the potential for head injury, cushioning the bone breaking effect of slipping off a monkey bar, swing or climbing castle. Unfortunately for the Ocean Shores Pre-School, their current surface has been water damaged beyond repair, but the good news is that tradesmen and service providers have been very generous in their assistance. Last Tuesday works began to replace the old pipes and plumber Chay Gumbrell from Ocean Shores was on hand donating his time and expertise towards getting the school back on the swing, with Tradelink Byron Bay donating materials needed for the job. When The Echo visited the work was well underway with Andrew Smith doing massive earth moving, at rates heavily discounted, as were materials from Billinudgel Landscapes. Mandi Gumbrell, mum of pre-school student Seth, says the group are very appreciative of all the assistance they have been given. ‘People have supported us by giving us huge discounts or not charging us at all. Now all we need to do is raise the $13,000 for the new softfall. We are running a rafe and the two major prizes are a double pass to Splendour In The Grass and a signed Titans guernsey. Hopefully the funds we raise will get us a new softfall.’ Any offers of help will be greatly appreciated by the pre-school and rafe tickets are available by calling Mandi on 0414 332 304.

Local News Mt Warning Caldera named as national icon Byron Forum from p1

The Mt Warning Wollumbin Caldera, stretching across northern NSW and southeast Queensland, was officially named as a ‘National Landscape’ on June 10, and will be marketed as ‘Australia’s Green Cauldron’ by Tourism Australia to travellers from all over the world. Robyn Rae, Chair of the Mt Warning Wollumbin Caldera National Landscapes Steering Committee, said, ‘This classification positions the Mt Warning Wollumbin Caldera with iconic locations like the Red Centre, Kakadu and the Flinders Ranges as a uniquely Australian landscape and a must see destination.’ Northern Rivers Tourism CEO, Russell Mills, said,

‘The designation of the Mt Warning Wollumbin Caldera as a National Landscape elevates this precious national asset to a new level of significance. ‘It’s significant in two ways – it raises awareness of the region as a must-do experience for travellers and also as a resource to be managed, sustained and protected for the regional community.’ The area covered by the National Landscapes classification encompasses the entire geographical footprint of the largest shield volcano in the Southern Hemisphere, extending over 5,000 square kilometres. It circles out from the central volcanic plug of Mt Warning to the surrounding Tweed Valley

and escarpment, taking in the ancient lava flows that stretch out to the Gold Coast hinterland and Scenic rim in south-east Queensland, to Kyogle and the foothills of the Great Dividing Range in the west and down to Lismore and Byron Bay. Ms Rae added, ‘Securing this classification has been a joint cross-border effort, bringing together representatives from five local Council areas across two states.’ The National Landscapes program is a joint initiative by Parks Australia and Tourism Australia to identify a select number of landscapes which ‘capture the essence of Australia and offer distinctive natural and cultural experiences’.

Another go at getting rid of the plastic bag Local resident and Morsbag maker Clare Hopkins gives Mayor Jan Barham one of the first free bags at a giveaway at the Bangalow Farmer’s market last Saturday. Morsbags.com is a global project dedicated to reducing plastic shopping bags by making recycled fabric bags, locally. Hopkins and Jo Immig have established the first Morsbag ‘pod’ in the Northern Rivers called Boomerang Bags. There are already over 500 ‘pods’ globally and this local pod hopes to make Bangalow the first plastic bag free town in the region. Australians use around four billion plastic bags a year and dump around 7,150 recyclable plastic bags into landfills every minute where they take a staggering 1000+ years to break down. Hopkins said, ‘We need a local solution to plastic bags because replacing them with “green enviro bags” and “degradable or biodegradable bags” is not the answer.’ Degradable bags can take

a long time to degrade, biodegradable plastic bags are not recyclable and need to be composted, and green shopper bags are made from polypropylene – a fossil fuel based plastic which does not biodegrade and can’t be recycled – and often travel large distances from where they are made. The Boomerang Bags pod meets regularly for social sewing days and makes recycled fabric bags from material donated by the Anglican Op Shop. Sewers and sewing machines always needed. Contact boomerangbags@hotmail.com.

with action plans to be presented at the closing session on Sunday. What became clear from the forum was a sense of foreboding and a loss of faith in the power of community. Under the burdens of growth with no infrastructure, greed with no boundaries, and a vote with no real value (given that the state government has usurped much of Council’s power and can, where it deems necessary, overturn Council decisions) the individual or interest group appears left feeling isolated, misunderstood and seemingly polarised in opinion. Where once there existed a strong sense and voice of community that steadfastly refused to be silenced, the rapid and often rapacious growth of Byron has resulted in tourism and development upping the decibel level to concert pitch while the voice of community appears to be reduced to a barely audible collection of whispers. But what also became clear from the forum workshops is the spirit of creativity and invention brought to the issues, not to mention some creative solutions in the action plans including initiatives on affordable housing, community core values, transport, public spaces and a great deal more. And while it may have opened a Pandora’s box, the forum also proved that there’s still a spark of hope alive and well in the community that, with a bit of the kindling of compromise and under standing , could become a roaring fire of faith capable of creating that other, possible Byron. Follow-up meetings to the forum are to be held from Monday, June 23 at 5.00pm at the YAC to continue the discussions and ideas, and Social Forum blogs can be read and uploaded at The Echo website. For further information contact YAC on 6685 7777.

Santos reinvents its Mullum garden Lou Beaumont With their focus typically on localisation and community, Santos has now teamed up with the Permaforest Trust to reinvent the garden space behind their Mullumbimby store. Lani Summers from Santos coordinated the team of students from the PT, an accredited permaculture training college in the ‘permablitz’ on the backyard. After outlining a design borne of a brief from Summers, the college students, and Santos staff, cleared, prepared and restructured the area as the beginning of an ongoing project that will have a great many stages. The new permaculture space was created in an effort to entice community to participate, grow, eat, share and relax – as well as provide yield for sale within Santos itself. Summers said, ‘Originally we thought of the garden as somewhere where we could grow organic produce for use in the juice bar and store, but, while the original intention is still there, the focus quickly shifted to making the process more about public education and a real community space. ‘It’s been so good to talk to locals as they pop their heads around the gate to check on the progress. We want to have educational plaques with information such as the benefits of certain herbs that are growing, or what part of bushfoods you can eat and such. Santos naturopaths will plant medicinal herbs and our cooks will plant culinary herbs and other edible plants. Local kids can come and plant a seedling and watch it grow. We would love for the community to claim this

Trek commemorates Flying Doctors Eve Jeffery On May 17, 1928 the very first Flying Doctor flight took off from Cloncurry, Queensland, to answer a call for help from the remote town of Julia Creek. Last year the service attended 242,547 patients and between them 47 aircraft landed 65,074 times after traveling 21,714,595 kilometres. This essential service, which this year celebrates its 80th anniversary, is beyond a dollar value but it costs upwards of $53 million per year to keep running. About one quarter of that is granted from the government and the rest they have to either earn or raise through charitable gifts. Local bloke Wayne Keating is doing his part to help finance the service. Wayne and mates John Woodroff and Kerry Gander just celebrated their own special anniversary of 10 years together as co-pilots of the ’62 S Series Valiant they drive in the Flying Doctors Outback Trek, a car that they bought from a previous trek competitor. This year the lads raised over $10,000 and travelled in the trek from Mudgee west of Sydney, up into central Queensland then over to Fraser Island on the coast. The event took a week and 3,255 kilometres to complete, not bad going when you consider that all of the cars were made before 1971. One hundred cars took part in this year’s event and an overall total of $1.5 million was added to the Flying Doctor Service coffers. The boys love the trek and the upkeep of the vehicle comes from their own pockets. ‘We don’t care about the expense of the trekking,’ says John from Forster. ‘We think it’s the best charity in Australia, certainly for the people of the outback.’ John’s own son had need of the

service when he was injured a couple of years ago in Broken Hill. Kerry from Sydney is an avid trekker and loves the experience and social aspect of the event. ‘It’s not a rush to the finish line, we keep it very safe. It’s not a race but it is a challenge driving in the trek. With 100 cars all on the road at the same time you have to have your wits about you. In the 20 years that the event has been run there has not been one fatality.’ Each driver has a two to three hour shift per day which kicks off as a staggered start from 7.30am. Each year they start from a different location – next year the trek goes from Surfer’s to Darwin. ‘The people are so grateful for our effort,’ says Kerry. ‘We have had to get repairs done along the way and if people find out you are in the trek they won’t accept money for repairs or other supplies.’ Wayne, who moved to Ocean Shores two years ago wouldn’t miss the trek for quids. ‘People love this event. We have competitors from Hong Kong, England,Wales, Japan, New Zealand and the US.’

The trio says that the appreciation of the people who mostly use the service is evident along the trek. ‘The CWA or other community groups prepare the meals,’ says Wayne. ‘We don’t actually collect money along the way. All the fundraising is done beforehand through sponsorship so there’s no bucket rattling,

but we still get folk on the trek who insist on giving us donations because the Flying Doctor is essential for these people.’ The boys will start preparing for the 2009 trek in January next year. Anyone who might be interested in sponsoring them in next years event can call Wayne on 6619 0542.

Council Roundup with Jann Gilbert

Holiday letting issue goes unresolved again Holiday letting, urban design and tidy towns occupied much of Council’s time at the recent ordinary meeting on Thursday, June 12. The holiday letting motion presented two options for Councillors; the first to ‘provide in the Draft LEP for Guest House (Holiday Home) accommodation in Zones R2 and R3’, which was defeated, and the second, which became the motion and was carried 6/3, sought to provide for holiday accommodation ‘in precincts provided as an overlay to the draft LEP.’ The issue again generated strong debate about community amenity and residential accommodation versus pecuniary interest. Anyone who thought Council had reached some consensus on the issue was, like the Mayor, disappointed. Cr Barham said she ‘believed regulation was the way to go,’ and was ‘disappointed that the issue had been raised over and over again since 2002 without resolution.’ Director of Planning Ray Darney agreed that Council staff needed regulation in order to enforce compliance and commented ‘that in the absence of direction from Council, staff would have to leave it as it is.’ Crs Barham,

Local Government Minister Paul Lynch and Byron Mayor Jan Barham chat outside the Council chamber on Thursday. Later Councillors had the chance to grill the minister on the Shire’s problems.

Westheimer, Staples and Tabart voted against the motion. In response to an earlier public access submission from Byron United (BU), Council was asked to endorse and support a ‘Community Views Urban Design by Enquiry Process’ at a cost of $20,000. The process aims to create a ‘vision for the future’ by developing ‘a series of urban design schemes which integrate a range of viewpoints …’ Crs Tucker and Woods proposed the motion and the debate for

and against was vigorous with Cr Tucker defending the motion tirelessly. While Councillors saw the merit in the idea some were wary of allowing a vested interest organisation to ‘own’ a process that was essentially a whole of community and Council task. The idea also bore an uncanny resemblance to the Master Plan that the Mayor had tried to get on the agenda twice previously but was vetoed by Crs Tardif and Tucker. Cr Tucker went to great pains to cite the differences but fellow

Councillors remained unconvinced, particularly given that Council staff costed the BU proposal at double that of the original Master Plan proposal. Objections were also raised about the report duplicating many of the processes that were currently underway in the set-up of the Cultural Plan, the DCP and the LEP. Cr Lazarus felt that the current processes should be finalised, ‘and then look at what amendments might need to be made.’ Cr Staples questioned BU’s professionalism given its recent media profile and ‘past dealings’. He said he felt it was ‘a loose, unstructured process that was great for a talk fest but didn’t address the major issues before Council at present.’ BU’s other appearance at Council regarded seeking support ‘both direct and in kind’ for a clean-up and maintenance initiative in Byron Bay, and entry into the Tidy Towns program. Crs Tardif and Tucker proposed the motion, which generated much debate about the notion of ‘tidy’. Cr Lazarus attempted to get up an amendment that excluded entry into the Tidy Towns program and acknowledged Council support for all groups and individuals involved in clean-up campaigns. Cr Staples agreed and asked why Council, ‘should endorse only one group involved in a clean-up when organisations such as the Clean & Green Team had been cleaning up for years.’ While Cr Staples was ‘totally behind any individual doing work in conjunction with Council,’ he believed that the Tidy Town program was, in essence, a ‘cultural statement.’ ‘What people see as tidy is different,’ said Cr Staples. ‘I’ve known people to complain about the “unti-

diness” of permaculture.’ Cr Woods couldn’t understand what all the fuss was about and advocated support for the motion, ‘and anyone who wanted to clean up … since Council didn’t have the funds or the staff to do it.’ Cr Barham commented that Council had in fact already ‘worked in with Byron United on the Tidy Towns application,’ which had been signed off by Council staff. The Mayor suggested that Byron United could actually ask what Council were doing regarding their concerns because many of the issues raised were already being addressed by Council. ‘It’s great that commercial interests want to look after their patch,’ said Cr Barham, ‘but the negative comments of Byron United in the media don’t acknowledge the work that Council is doing.’ (Neither do they acknowledge the propensity for double standards at BU. Strangely enough, in the minutes of its April meeting Cr Bob Tardif echoed the same sentiments that Cr Barham was publicly crucified for. As the minutes state, ‘Cr Bob Tardif highlighted some of the constraints of Councillors and emphasised the need to have a clear understanding of Council operations.’ Sound familiar?) Cr Barham suggested that part of the clean up could also address the issue of signage, which she said was ‘one of the ugliest elements of Byron.’ Cr Lazarus’ amendment was put to the vote and declared lost. Crs Tucker, Woods, Mangleson, Barham, Tabart, Tardif and Kestle voted against the amendment. The motion was put to the vote and declared carried. Cr Lazarus voted against the motion.

and mental health was raised and the Minister acknowledged that more funding for infrastructure and services was needed to take a ‘holistic approach to the problem.’ The issue of Council amalgamations was laid to rest with Minister Lynch confirming his aversion to forced amalgamation. ‘If you have two dysfunctional councils, amalgamation will simply give you one big dysfunctional council,’ said Minister Lynch. ‘There are no real economies of scale. Councils already share resources and that is working well.’ On the issue of tourism and infrastructure, and its associated problems and consequences, the Minister suggested that Council put forward a special submission to the state government regarding the Shire’s special circumstances. The next Council meeting is scheduled for Thursday, June 19.

Sports grant adds zest to Lennox Head School

Lennox Head Public School received a $5,000 grant from Ballina Fair’s Baker’s Delight franchisees June Sean and Belinda Smith on June 6. Lennox Head was one of six schools in NSW and twenty schools across Australia to receive the Top Sports Grant. Principal Mr Bryen said the money will help to top

up sports and playtime equipment, ‘We will be able to initiate a playtime activity program, something we weren’t sure we would be able to fund.’ Parent Tarja Kelly completed an entry form at the Ballina store as part of the competition and all at Lennox Head Public School were thrilled that their entry

was one of the lucky draws. Olympian and Top Sports Ambassador Andrew Gaze is a strong advocate of healthy activity and community sport. He said, ‘It’s terriďŹ c to see Australian companies like Baker’s Delight supporting grassroots sports and encouraging young people to adopt healthy lifestyles.’

Rudd wants to build cars, ban the bomb Vol 23 #02

June 17, 2008

Tourism in turmoil The O’Neill Report on tourism in NSW was finally released last week, six months after it was finished. There is no doubt the release of the report, compiled by Events NSW chairman John O’Neill, was delayed by the state government’s embarrassment at its criticisms. However, the Premier must have finally taken the view that its strictures were mild compared with the policy and performance disasters in other areas he presides over. The day after the report appeared John O’Neill promptly resigned as executive director of Tourism NSW. The coincidence of the report writer and the report scapegoat having the same name is curious, but it only serves to add a little more confusion to the mess that is NSW tourism management. What the report outlines is financial neglect from the government – $5 million less in real terms to Tourism NSW than a decade ago – coupled with an arrogant, centralised approach to promotion from the state body. Tourism NSW effectively ignores the differences in tourist destinations and neglects local knowledge in dictating one-size-fits-all campaigns to all regions. The opportunity of the Sydney Olympics has been squandered, with 18 million fewer visitor nights in the last eight years than would have been the case if tourism had remained at 1999-2000 levels. The report claims that the NSW economy has lost $3.5 billion from its poor performance in this field. However, O’Neill’s solutions are mostly impractical. Among them is the suggestion that Newcastle should get an international airport and a fast train link to Sydney. With one of the largest RAAF bases in the country using the Williamtown airport and airspace over Newcastle, and the Iemma government’s known contempt for rail transport, improvements to the Hunter region’s accessibility are unlikely to occur in the short term. Nor will the report’s view of the National Parks and Wildlife Service be welcomed by conservation groups: ‘Their philosophy appears to be to leave as little footprint as possible for the tourism industry, which is at odds with tourism development.’ It recommends making national parks ‘available to people willing to pay to sustain and enhance those assets instead of focusing on protecting them from people’. According to the Sydney Morning Herald, the chief executive of the National Parks Association, Andrew Cox, said he would ‘die in a ditch’ protecting national parks from commercialisation by the tourism industry. If the minister responsible, Matt Brown, directs Tourism NSW to heed the criticisms to the extent of decentralising itself and empowering local regions to cater for niche markets, then some good might come from the O’Neill Report. It is to be hoped that he will ignore its easy and predictable advice to set up a new body to ‘rebrand Sydney to the world’. The world knows about Sydney; it is just not sure that under the current state government it actually works.

T

here are arguments both for and against the Australian Government’s involvement in Toyota’s so-called Green Camry, and we will be hearing them for long time. But one aspect of it cannot be denied: when the industry, the unions and the state premiers all unreservedly applaud the decision, it is time for taxpayers to clutch their wallets with both hands and count the household silver. When all the usually antagonistic interest groups are satisfied, it means someone will be paying through the nose. This has, after all, been the history of the motor vehicle industry in Australia, which has only ever existed through heavy subsidies of one kind or another. The justification has always been that not only does it provide employment for a large number of people; it gives the country an industrial base, which is vital for its defence capacity, among other things. There is also a feeling that we are not really a developed nation unless we have a substantial manufacturing sector: Kevin Rudd himself has said that he does not want to be prime minister of a country that doesn’t make anything. Economic purists will dismiss this as ill-informed waffle, but it still resonates with a lot of voters, so perhaps Rudd has pulled the right rein. But if there are question marks over the big policy decision of his trip to Japan, there are none over his diplomatic progress. The idea that the attention he has given to China has led to rift with Japan was always a bit of a beat up: what tensions there have been have had more to do with the whaling wars than any underlying

problems. But in any case, the last week worked brilliantly for him. The only real drawback is that the visit took place against the background of a political crisis in Tokyo. But Rudd’s tactics transcended politics. By starting his itinerary in Hiroshima, he went straight to the country’s emotional core,

would see a major reduction in the kill. All in all, a thoroughly successful exercise. It may, as the nigglers in the press corps of both countries complained, have taken him six months to get there, but once arrived, he didn’t put a foot wrong. Another excellent adventure to put in the scrapbook.

It is time for taxpayers to clutch their wallets with both hands and count the household silver. by Mungo MacCallum too often ignored by Western politicians. He then used the occasion to announce the formation of a new international council to reinvigorate the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. This may be overambitious, but it is an idea the Japanese will embrace with great enthusiasm. Then, in a worthy promotion of Australian culture, he went to an exhibition of paintings by the great Emily Kngwarreye, now wowing them in Tokyo. An audience with the emperor acknowledged his respect for Japan’s traditions, and then it was back to diplomacy to try and defuse the whaling controversy. While not walking away from Australia’s position of total opposition to Japan’s so-called scientific whaling program, Rudd did manage to shift the ground, at least temporarily. Rather than going straight to the International Court of Justice, Australia will now wait for the next meeting of the International Whaling Commission, where the Americans are said to be preparing a compromise motion that

THE second NRL state of origin game was always going to be tough for New South Wales. Queensland held the home ground advantage; the Maroons coach, Mal Meninga, had given the referee firm riding instructions; and the NRL itself had an interest in a Queensland win to keep the series alive and ensure a big gate in the third game. But the Blues’ last hopes disappeared when, just hours before kickoff, the most powerful Queenslander of all sidelined their most aggressive player. Kevin Rudd handed Belinda Neal a yellow card following yet another unsavoury nightclub incident. Having already been sent off in the round ball game, she was now ordered to undergo counselling and warned of the possibility of disqualification for life if her attitude both on and off the field did not improve. It was an extraordinary intervention from the Prime Minister. As New South Wales Premier Morris Iemma had repeatedly noted, the evidence about what

Now open even wider

actually happened during what will undoubtedly become known as Iguanagate was both murky and contradictory. Normally Neal, along with her husband John Della Bosca, could have expected to escape with no more than a caution on the run. But Rudd’s deputy Julia Gillard had already gone public with a generalised homily about the behaviour expected from politicians, so perhaps the Prime Minister felt an obligation to back her up. At least he knew he was on safe ground: Neal is not a popular figure on either side of politics, even in her home electorate. There is a general feeling that she owes her progress up the greasy totem poll more to her marriage to Della Bosca and his factional enforcers than to any innate political talent. She was first slotted into the senate in 1994 following the resignation of right-wing mate Kerry Sibraa, but after deciding she was destined for greater things resigned to contest the marginal House of Representatives seat of Robertson in 1998. Her preselection was controversial; she split the branch and failed to win the seat. The split continued through the next three polls; in 2001 and 2004 a longtime local Trish Moran eventually won the preselection but was effectively abandoned by head office and the seat remained with the National Jim Lloyd. Neal was shoehorned back in as the candidate last year, and resources poured in behind her. The rest, as they say, is history – as will Neal be if she gives her enemies half an opening. As Rudd has made it clear, there will be no more warnings. Next time, you’re off.

Campaign begins From the recent, blatantlypartisan front page of the Byron Shire News criticising Mayor Jan Barham, to the same paper’s fawning hagiographies on Byron United’s rather parochial activities, to the flurry of anti-Mayor/antiGreens letters appearing on all fronts, to the constantlyrepeated misrepresentations over issues such as the Lighthouse Road repairs and the Byron Bypass, to the sudden increase in ‘BU wedge’ Notices of Motion in Council papers – it is evident that the election is now in full swing. It would appear that the BU power group will be far too busy making money to be available for election. Cr Ross Tucker (having sat through all those meetings) will be the favoured candidate to carry their colours to the hustings – his National Party mates down at the Mullum RSL will just have to adjust. Meanwhile, what of Ross’s loyal mate Bob Tardif (now a cub-reporter on the Cou Rouge Courier) who has also put in a soldierly performance at the BU altar? Do they think two spots are possible? Will Bob seek refuge as the ALP candidate? What will Ross do about his everloyal follower, Dianne Woods…? Whatever the outcome of these fascinating conjectures two things will be a constant – spin will be king and ignorance will be the jester. A rule that may be useful when assessing the contest: always look for the selfinterest-factor (watch the campaign spending). Remember, the last Tweed Council was purchased before being sacked.

Behind the out of control food prices N I want to thank Gabrielle Phillips & Jain 108 (letters, June 10) for raising the issue of out of control food prices and in particular Santos (why not talk about rising fuel prices as well). The reality is that the margins Santos places on our products are now less than ever.What has changed is the increased proportion of organic food that we sell and the higher price paid for organic food generally. Our unashamed principles are that we pay our local farmers fair prices instead of the screwed down prices that Woolworths extract. Also, we reduce the mark up on our local farmers’ products so that they sell advantageously. Where are we going? We buy tonne lots of organic wholegrain rice; last year it was $60 a bag, today the price is $120. We will soon have none. (Over the last two years Australia has lost 98% of its rice production). Many other products are in a similar scarcity. I would like to make a few claims about Santos. We are owned by many local shareholders whose prime mandate is that we provide healthy food to the community. Sure we try to make a profit, but this is set to make us sustainable as a company. The only recipients of our profit are our shareholders who receive dividends of about 4.5% on their investment. In line with egalitarian principles, those on the lowest wage receive only a few dollars per hour less than the highest. We pay juniors adult rates. This year we will give over $100,000 back to our com-

munity as donations and loyalty programs. You can buy cheap unsustainable food from Woolworths because they don’t do these things. Santos’ bottom line is to operate ethically, aiming for true sustainability. If in holding these ethics it is felt that we are paying too much for our food, then perhaps we need to re-examine our consumer priorities. Australia, on average, spends as little as 17% of our income on food. At this level there is little hope to re-create a planet saving food supply chain. In preparing for an uncertain future I work towards creating a more resilient community. An aspect of this is that we control our food chain. Perhaps by owning a part of Santos, more people could collectively influence its direction and be responsible for food choices.

times when attempts to find a middle path are frustrated by a coalition drawn from both sides of that path. In the middle was Jan Barham, Tom Tabart, Peter Westheimer and myself, supporting an option put by the staff that HL should be permissible in most of the residential zones in the new LEP, subject to a straightforward application (possibly Complying Development) and payment of developer contributions. The right-wing Councillors oppose any attempt to regulate HL or get the industry to pay its way and voted accordingly for Ross Tucker’s motion to merely ‘note the report’. The sad thing is that John Lazarus was unable to shift from his dug-in position opposing all HL, and so unwilling to compromise. This is despite reliable statistics suggesting that some

400–600 houses are let commercially as HL via the internet and elsewhere. Permanent residents are subsidising much of their additional infrastructure load. Without John’s vote nothing was achieved. But the issue won’t go away as Council finalises its new LEP. Any other ideas, John?

the right attitude in buying habits at these markets, by those who can afford it, will eventually make the pricing more attractive. Once again, supply and demand. One must remember that the bulk of produce purchased from supermarkets has been highly chemically grown, much of it harvested early, transported large distances and stored at very low temperatures and is subject to chemical and gas ripening. Volume requirements necessitate this. Add to this the tons of wastage of perfectly good produce that is incurred at the growers’ loss in sorting and packing so that the end product looks perfect for the over-fussy consumer. These are very questionable practices, both environmentally and economically. You state you are considered an alternative, creative and free thinker. Then why not step forward and John Dolman become part of the soluSantos, Mullumbimby tion?

so much of it, local markets are generally inadequate, so they are pushed to transport to city markets. Jain and Gabrielle may not be aware that agricultural sustainability requires not just movement toward organics, but toward diversity of farm produce, and towards reducing oil use. Any farmer attempting fair dinkum movement toward the three, immediately becomes uneconomic. The point Jain and Gabrielle make about Woolworths and the missing alternative(s) is well made but there is little likelihood that sustainable agriculture will appear on any scale unless oil depletes and population decentralises to country areas to grow food. The blueprint for that

sort of development is already available when Vladimir Putin, the Russian president, on July 7, 2003 signed into federal law the ‘Private garden-plot Act’ where any Russian citizen can receive free of charge from the state, 1-3 hectare plots of land in inheritable ownership. The produce grown on the plots is not subject to taxation. Such has been the success of the venture, that in 2004, the value of the Russian gardeners’ production represented 51% of the country’s total agricultural output.

N The letter from Jain108 and Gabrielle Phillips is to some degree an accurate perspective and reflective of our local produce situation. The very problem of local market availability and price is, however, one that we as locals can rectify. The customer numbers at local fresh farm and organic markets are relatively low compared to supermarkets. These growers have to charge higher prices to maintain an income due to low volume compared with supermarkets. This is a simple case of supply and demand. Price is the determining factor for some people but

Farewell, Mullum ‘Big yellow taxi’ once again springs to mind (it increasingly does in this Shire) as I ponder the fact that I had discovered the joys of a pint of Guinness on the lush couches of the Chini tavern all too late. It brings back subtle memories of my first forays into tofu chip culture at the Popular, which already seems like a lifetime ago, and no doubt the increasing number of fringe-dwelling continued overleaf

Mooball N Jain 108 and Gabrielle Phillips ask, ‘Where are our popular and successful and cheap organic markets? They barely exist!’ To be a successful organic farmer – that is, able to earn one’s living, one has to turn out bulk product, and because one is competing with machines in agriculture, one is pushed almost relentlessly, into single species farming in order that the machinery use is efficient. Successful organic farmers therefore tend to produce a monocultural product, and because they have

hippies that I see walking up and down my driveway have probably never even heard of the place. But it’s time to acknowledge that we are a town in transition, and that just as people no longer associate Byron with Ringo’s and Lifestream, the biggest little town is no longer about the former regime. As much as we would all like for time to stand still, there is no skirting about the fact that we are all getting older, that this is no longer the canvas for our failed pipe dreams, and that in the modern world, whether we like it or not, needs must be met and livelihoods provided for, else our children will find it increasingly difficult to live in the Shire. It took me five years here before I found a job that would provide for my family, and we are hardly high maintenance. At that time, I could just about count on one hand the number of born and bred locals with jobs that were my age. Everybody else was, like myself, either an out of towner living off welfare, or had been bequeathed an inheritance. Employment was in fact an unutterable dirty word. Then, some ten years too late, I grew up. The Shire is also growing up, the world is changing, and soon we are going to see shops on streets that were formerly residential, houses in lanes that were formerly paddocks. It is time to pull our heads out of the sand. Our problems pale in significance to the rest of the world, who are currently facing food shortages and environmental destruction. It is an embarrassment to our intelligence as a species that while some of our kind face such significant crises, we continue to moan over whether we should have a couple of failing enterprises in our town and the privilege of driving elsewhere to make use of the facilities we abhor. It is, in my opinion, time to embrace the inevitable. Which brings me nicely to the point of my whole letter. Mullumbimby needs a major football stadium. I said it here first. Albert Moses

Alarmed, disturbed I am alarmed and disturbed by a piece in the last issue titled ‘Lolita and Ramirez light up Tokyo Dome’. As a piece of journalism the quality seems questionable. I don’t know how to take the term ‘Lolita’ in any other way than as a reference to the novel/movie which as we all know is about the sexuality of a girl that is abused by an adult man. To use this in a title, and

then to write a sports article which trades on the titillation of the Lolita image is outrageous. The writer, John Campbell, indicates that the beer he paid $5 for was ‘worth it’ because it was served up by a ‘Lolita’. He says ‘none of them looked older than 16’. This is as clear as it gets. An older man sexually turned on by an adolescent girl. Indeed the title is apt, he is clearly in the role of Humbert. Is this how John Campbell would treat his own daughter? Or perhaps he thinks it’s okay because it’s someone else’s daughter. Would he feel okay if another older man sexually appraised his own daughter in this way? These questions are in the background. What’s at issue is that you as a paper are printing this, and thus could be said to be uncritically supporting such views. If there was some kind of intelligent conversation about this matter, then it could be seen to potentially have some redeeming value in your paper. But as the lead article in the sports roundup, it’s tucked away and clearly meant for the passive consumption of the readership. This potentially feeds the latent paedophile in some men, and contributes to a media supported ‘ok-ness’ about the use of such terms and images. Su-lee Ling-Gunther

Goonellabah N Nabokov’s Lolita is a great novel, widely known through Kubrick’s film. Japanese women commonly look younger than their age. John Campbell’s piece makes a literary reference everyone can understand. The Bill Henson furore shows there is danger of a new brand of McCarthyism about – Ed.

Clean it up I have witnessed the increasingly divisive issue of Woolies now turning Mullumbimby into a graffiti-strewn disgrace and cannot help but despair. From road signs at the entrance to town, to scrawlings on the road past the coop, to malicious damage to the Chincogan Hotel walls. Also what has Coles got to do with it, have they bought IGA? The people likely doing this are not adults (I hope), but bored, impressionable kids, who act out their parents ravings. I feel sorry for the kids whose parents are incapable of presenting the Woolies argument to their kids in a less vitriolic manner. Coming in to town, it is a bloody disgrace and could turn the town into another rural ghetto. What message does this say to tourists and other visitors? If the choice is graffiti or Woolies, then I change my

stance and give me a Woolies any day. This is not the way to win the hearts and minds. The messages preach to the bloody converted, the majority of whom are already in town, so how stupid can you get. This sort of stuff trivialises the issue and does not add any value to the argument. Come on guys, let’s clean up our game. Andrew Hall

Union is good Mungo MacCallum (June 10) seems to confuse far east with Asia. East of what, the West? Asia or Asian is not a European construct; it’s European to think it is. Witness the regionalisation of human rights declarations based on the Asian values debate. Asian values do exist (Amartya Sen). All countries (in compliance to international law) have policies of non-intervention whether it be China, in the case of Burma and Darfur, or the US and France in the case of Rwanda. Regional inter-governmental organisations exist because of shared values (culture, security, trade) and geography. Malaysia (the most vocal anti-western member) did not want Australia to join ASEAN because Australia was not ‘Asian’. Rather than the opinions of an ex-PM who is incapable of seeing beyond his corporate nosebag (Keating thinks Suharto was a good guy!) we would be much better off recognizing that Asia does exist and has the real capacity to influence peace and security in the region, including Australia’s interests and wellbeing. The European Union since its inception has been instrumental in keeping the

peace amongst once highly aggressive countries. Rudd understands this and is right to propose such an alliance. Michael Donnelly

The oil rort The reason for the high price of oil/petrol is reasonably clear and certainly no secret. Interested parties (oil producers and futures traders) are preparing us for $150$200 a barrel prices when in reality there is in fact, no oil shortage. We are being rorted in unregulated futures speculation by organisations like Goldman Sachs and the like, hedge funds, banks and financial groups using the London ICE Futures and the New York futures exchanges and uncontrolled inter-bank or over-thecounter trading to avoid scrutiny. It is the US margin rules of the government’s Commodity Futures Trading Commission that allows speculators to buy crude oil futures contracts on the Nymex where the speculators pay only 6% of the value of the contract. At $140 per barrel, that means a speculator or futures trader only has to put up about $8.75 for every barrel. He borrows the balance. This sort of leverage at 16 to 1 plus ‘oil producers/future traders’ rumourmongering, coupled with the threat of withholding supplies, drives prices to wildly unrealistic levels at our expense: us, the people, the consumers. Fact, there is in fact plenty of oil to go around and no foreseeable shortage in the medium term. Now that futures traders have put such these outrageous profits in their pockets and have artificially raised the prices to these levels, the oil producing countries quite

naturally want to see a fair share of these inflated prices returning to them. This of course will drive the next round of greed and inflationary trends. In reality we are all being conned. From the government down. Unless the United States and Europe make laws to stop this rort in oil, this most strategic asset, the rest of us are going to continue to subsidise this gravy train, which I believe in due course will destabilise our economies and create inflation the likes as we have never experienced.

Camp Solution Yes, I know that the ‘wicked’ mobile campers are carefree irresponsible drunks. But ask yourself, were not the majority of us (particularly men) exactly like that when we were members of that same demographic ? Early twenties, pretty savvy, pretty interested in sex and most intoxicants. Saved hard for the trip. Now we are on it so f--k the world (not just Byron Bay). Twenty-five bucks for a shit and shower? $175 per week. That’s a ripoff. Forget it. We’ll park on the road or wherever is convenient (to us) and use whatever facilities we find. A partial solution might be to provide low cost bush campsites with very basic facilities like a composting toilet and a fresh water tap, on National Park land. It is not a new idea. I have stayed at many of these during my own circumnavigation of Australia, but know of none in the Byron Bay area. Innes National Park, at the bottom of theYork Peninsula in South Australia is a popular surfing spot like Byron Bay, and right in the dunes,

close to the beach, there are three separate camping sites about three hundred metres apart. One is for vans with generators, one is for vans without generators, and the third is exclusively for surfers. Thus the various groups are separated in such a way that they will not inadvertently annoy each other. And it works a treat. No loud noise right through the night, minimal altercations, no hassles, no mess. The ranger comes around once a day to collect the $5 fee and check that all is well. The reason that this works is because large temporary gatherings of even exclusively young people, lacking any outside authority, will regulate their own behaviour. I learnt this from taking groups of 20-30 undergraduate students on study visits from England to various European cities. When they were given twin share hotel rooms, one or two rooms would inevitably become the ‘party’ rooms and it was chaos. It would go on all night and there was always trouble; which we, hapless, mug lecturers had to sort out with the hotel management, often in a language in which we were not fluent. (One hotel in Milan vowed never to allow anyone from our uni to ever stay there again.) However, when we changed tack on the next trip and put the students in dormitory accommodation, around 12 to a room, virtually all trouble stopped because the other people in the room regulated and moderated the behaviour of the drunks. After all, even within that demographic, for every drunk there are at least five who are not. Similarly at the surfers’ camp in South Australia, the boys (and girls) still get pis-

Letters sed and misbehave. But at a certain point in the night it stops. That point is where enough people in the general gathering want to go to sleep and make their feelings known. And if any people are judged to be too rowdy, they will be expelled by the group as a whole. I believe that the same approach would work here. We know that the area is attractive to touring young surfers (for a very good reason). We also know that the demographic to which they belong is inclined towards antisocial or, at least, inconsiderate and irresponsible behaviour, particularly when they are away from home. So, instead of castigating these people for what is, I believe, a normal phase of human development, we should be thinking of ways to allow that development to happen (ie. free and easy access to the challenging waves around here) while at the same time corralling their behaviour patterns by surrounding them with their peers. That way they will look after themselves and not intrude on our peaceful bourgeois existences. Colin Thornton

In defence of the Tourism Management Plan I write in response to Basil Cameron’s letter (June 10) and to refute the claim that the Byron Shire Tourism Management Plan (BSTMP) has been ‘written from the perspective of a narrow section of tourism operators’. Quite the contrary, the plan has been developed by the Australian Regional Tourism Research Centre (ARTRC) at Southern Cross University – an independent research Centre responsible for assisting the sustainable development and management of tourism in regional communities throughout Australia. The ARTRC was engaged by Byron Shire Council to develop the plan, and a Byron Shire Council Steering Committee was ap pointed to guide the project. The Committee consists of Cr Bob Tardif, Cr Diane Woods, Mayor Jan Barham, Ray Darney, Michel Boyle. I reiterate that the plan has been developed without the pressure of vested interests, and on the back of an extensive consultation process that engaged Council, business, community and State Government. The process was designed

to: better understand interests, values and aspirations of the community towards tourism; establish a shared vision for the future development and management of tourism within the region; and identify the important destination development, management and marketing issues that should be addressed within the Plan The process involved extensive consultation workshops to which 170 stakeholder organisations were invited. Of these, representatives of 63 organisations attended representing eight stakeholder groups including: tourism, business, community, environment, events/festivals, arts/culture, Council and its committees, and government departments. Four environment groups and six arts groups accepted the invitation to participate. In addition, 14 residents were randomly selected from across the Shire by the ARTRC to participate in a Citizen Jury. Jury members heard from a range of tourism experts and practitioners who presented a balanced view of tourism within the Shire including representatives from the ARTRC, Council, the local tourism

industry, BEACON and Arts Northern Rivers. A representative of a community group was invited to address the Jury but did not attend. A Byron Shire Tourism Management Plan website was also established to receive feedback from people and organisations not engaged in the consultation workshops or Citizen Jury. This was available, and promoted in the local media, from September to December 2007. Twenty responses were received. Once the data was collected, the vision statement was developed and a Consultation Report prepared for the BSTMP Steering Committee. That report identified ten core values, a vision statement and 28 issues to be considered in the development of the plan. It should be noted that some issues raised during the consultation process were considered to be outside the scope of the tourism plan. A Tourism Advisory Panel (TAP) was established, comprising representatives of the eight stakeholder groups from the September workshops. The role of members was to inform and

engage the stakeholder organisations they were representing to ensure ongoing involvement and provide feedback in the planning process. The TAP and Steering Committee met in May to consider and provide input into the Draft Byron Shire Tourism Management Plan. At this meeting, three member s TAP member s requested further time to consult their stakeholder organisations. This was agreed to. All comments received have been considered and many have been included in a revised version of the Draft Plan. A revised Draft Plan will be released for further consideration by the Tourism Advisory Panel this week. A final plan will be presented to Council most likely in August. The Draft BSTMP incorporates a framework and action plan to guide the management, development and marketing of tourism in Byron Shire and its destinations over the next ten years. Among the recommendations are the establishment of a Tourism Advisory Committee (TAC) to lead and

oversee the implementation of strategies and actions of the BSTMP; the employment of a Tourism Officer; effective management and maintenance of infrastructure including consideration of alternative transport options within the Shire; development of a consistent brand and image for Shire that promotes and protects its uniqueness and diversity to attract appropriate visitor markets; and development of Byron Shire as a world leading, best practice environmentally responsible destination In September 2007, Council adopted a process that excluded Public Exhibition of the final plan based on the strength of the consultation process, notably the Citizen Jury process. A Public Exhibition process was not included in the A RT R C contractual arrangement. Information on the work of the ARTRC is available at www.regionaltourism.com. au/ARTRC. Dr Meredith Lawrence

Articles NSW govt keeps mum on logging approvals The North Coast Environment Council has raised the alarm about logging on private lands, with more than 100,000 hectares approved for logging by the Department of Environment and Climate Change statewide in just 10 months. ‘We have grave concerns about the implementation of the Private Native Forestry Code of Practice by the Department of Environment and Climate Change (DECC),’ said Ms Susie Russell, vice-president of the North Coast Environment

Council.They have approved 108,492 hectares of forests in NSW for logging. That equates to 517 football fields of forest approved for logging or patch-clearfelling each day for the last ten months. ‘It is being done under a veil of secrecy. Logging approvals are not subject to the same public accountability provisions as clearing approvals, and the Department has twice refused a Freedom of Information request by NCEC to gather some basic information on

the implementation of the Code. ‘The grounds on which the Department refused the Freedom of Information request were spurious and very ill-considered. Their claim that there was no public interest in releasing the information is nothing short of outrageous. ‘The logging approvals they issue operate for up to 15 years and suspend the operation of the threatened species laws. They can allow logging in areas mapped as old-growth forests, rainfor-

ests or endangered ecological communities. ‘DECC has made getting a logging approval a tick the box exercise, and some areas that were protected under the previous regime are now being opened up for logging. No site inspections are required and no routine monitoring is carried out… ‘It seems the Department is completely out of touch with the community and think the public has no legitimate interest in this matter,’ Ms Russell said.

From rails to trails

David Miller Imagine this! You are walking or riding from Mullumbimby to Byron Bay. Before you the easy track undulates around beautiful green countryside. Skilfully built old embankment cuttings keep it all level. There are no cars in sight, just others doing the same, some with baby strollers and one or two in wheelchairs Is this a dream? It could be real because there is a disused railway, a track that goes all the way from Murwillumbah through Billinudgel, Mullumbimby, Byron, Bangalow, Lismore and on, on to Casino. Many say we should bring back the trains. When you consider the invasion of our roads by those intimidating juggernaut B doubles whizzing along, the image of a safe solid train laden with freight and passengers sitting back in a convivial dining car, it’s a setting from yesteryear and a lovely thoughtform. In the long run the traindream may be possible, but while we wait, other parties more interested in profit may be making their plans around this desirable long paddock real estate. Mullum Woolies for example, looks like they are already there, on old railway land, but fortunately the line still is not cut. By comparison, in England there are many ancient traditional walking and bridle paths with stiles between farms, but here in Oz, where private property is king of crass, farms are fenced cheek by jowl, with not a chink in between where folk may walk. As a local doctor I ask the community, ‘what is healthier than a long walk in the country?’ An unfenced piece of land like this disused rail, all the miles from Murwillumbah to Casino, is an irreplaceable resource and the surest way to keep it as a community asset might be, at least in the first instance, to walk on it. Driving over the highway bridge at Tyagarah, steal a quick glimpse at the rail below. The grass is so thick you can’t even see the lines

anymore. Is this a case of ‘out of sight, out of mind?’ For a longer experience, stop one day at the rickety bridge on the Wooyung cutting. There are plenty of places to take a good look, and imagine. The Byron Shire has long been a living laboratory for social change and so the Mullum to Byron section might be good for the experiment. A café at Tyagarah junction would link Brunswick Heads. Dreamtime. For the future, a quiet light electric transport for those who cannot walk might still be OK for the strong rail bridges, such as the high one over the Brunswick River known more to boating people as it’s not visible from the road. This old infrastructure is solid, but may have weathered too much for conventional trains. Still, there’s more to putting a train back on the tracks, than as if it were a boy’s toy wind-up Hornby, to be just lovingly lowered on to the lines already there. From direct experience, anyone who has walked a railway line will know how difficult it is to negotiate the splintery wooden sleepers, sharp chunky bluemetal, steel lines and assorted hardware. So in its current state the line is overgrown and unusable. More dreaming. As a community project the removed materials could be recycled to pay for the transformation, designed to accommodate even a wheelchair on its fair smooth level surface. But there’s more. The track is not only level, but wider than the visible line, in places much more so, as old service roads used to run alongside, through adjacent gullies and slopes. After all, where can a horse go these days? In keeping with the new political mood, we should be prepared to talk laterally about these things, rather than the old way of entrenched position. It’s not a new idea and been done successfully in other places, here and overseas. For examples in other communities, see www.rail trails.org.au.

(UMAN 2IGHTS EDUCATION AND DIVERSITY Selling your property? Juliette Maher (Year 11, Richmond River High School) is one of two first place prizewinners in the recent essay competition held in conjunction with the upcoming SCU Activating Human Rights and Peace conference. As part of her prize, Juliette will be attending the four-day conference, July 1–4 in Byron Bay. This international conference provides a rare opportunity for local young people to gain crucial perspectives on a range of human rights issues. In an effort to extend this opportunity even further, an application has been lodged with Byron Shire Council to sponsor four Byron Shire students to attend. Juliette’s winning essay is printed below and clearly highlights the value of education, participation, and engagement in issues.

T

he Greek philosopher Epictetus (55–135 AD) stated in his Discourses that ‘only the educated are free.’ And, in truth, he is not far off the mark. In our society, both now and in the past, education equals power. To be educated is to be respected, inuential and recognised by others, and society in general, as someone of worth. Indeed, in a world in which information and knowledge are so highly valued, the right to education is nothing less than the right to participate in modern society. With education comes opportunity. Those who are not educated are automatically denied opportunity, and are likely to remain so. This in itself makes the popular concept that ‘everyone is equal’ effectively redundant. Another Greek philosopher, Plato (427–347 BC), said that ‘the direction in which education starts a man will determine his future life.’ One only has to look at the purpose of education itself to see the truth in this. Education, that is, formal education, gives people the skills needed to take their place as functioning members of society. Schools and schooling aim to imbue people with a habit of learning, of lifelong education. And more importantly

Winning essayist Juliette Maher

than this, the core purpose of education is to replace a closed mind with an open mind, to teach people to ask questions and to think for themselves. For it is only with freedom of thought and open-mindedness that peace and respect for all human rights, and all human beings, is possible. It is stated in the Universal Declaration of Human

Rights that everyone has a right to an education. Everyone; regardless of colour, ethnicity, gender, religion, disability, age, sexual orientation, or socio-economic status. And yet, it is precisely these categories of identity that create barriers, so to speak, against equal opportunity. In Australia, to be female, non-white, of a non-English

Line up to shoot the Village People Entries for the annual Brunswick Heads Simple Pleasures Photography Competition are beginning to arrive as local photographers set out to capture and share the moments and images of the simple pleasures of Brunswick Heads. As an extension to the theme, the Simple Pleasures of Brunswick Heads will this year incorporate ‘Village People’. The competition encourages and showcases local creative talent and hopes to inspire the entire community to be involved. Young people are particularly encouraged to explore the art of photography with the return inclusion of two youth categories. Organisers are pleased that Eve Jeffery has agreed to

join the judging panel. Eve is a photographer and owner of Gypsy Le Fay in Brunswick Heads. They are also delighted to welcome back last year’s judging panel. Mayor Cr Jan Barham is enthusiastic about returning. ‘The Simple Pleasures photography competition is a fantastic community event,’ she said. ‘It explores how residents feel about Brunswick. I really enjoy the opportunity to judge this competition and see how the sense of place is captured by those who love their local area’. Other judges are Jeff Dawson, roving photographer for The Echo, Roz Goodchild, curator/owner of Mina Mina Art Gallery at Brunswick Heads, and Alan Morden

advertising art director. This year’s major sponsors include the Hotel Brunswick, Crystal Castle and The Echo. The winners in ďŹ ve categories, over 19, 13-18, under 12 years, the Overall Winner, and the People’s Choice Award will be announced on Sunday, September 14 at 3pm and will be presented with prizes generously donated by local businesses.

speaking background, nonChristian, homosexual, of low socio-economic status, or to have a disability is to be disadvantaged. To be disadvantaged is to be denied equal access to the education that is stated to be everyone’s right as a human being. But this in itself is not what blindly contradicts the concept universal human rights. It is the fact that people are disadvantaged by society. It is equity, not equality, that needs to be the focus of the education system, and society as a whole. With equality comes uniformity and the absence of diversity. To be equal is to be shaped into a mould of what society’s deďŹ nition of equality is. In an education system based on equality, the intellectually gifted student is forced to work at the pace of the ‘average’ students, and the student with special educational needs is simply ignored, as equality denotes that everyone receives the same, thinks the same, is the same. To be treated with equity is to be treated fairly. Each person receives what they lack; and if a person does not lack, they do not receive. It is to be treated according to need, allowing for disadvantage, individuality, and diversity. With equitable education comes equal opportunity; equal opportunity to be equally important members of our society, to achieve our highest potential, to be whatever we want to be. Every person is of equal worth, and yet each person is intrinsically, innately, irrevocably, different. The goal is to go beyond tolerance, beyond acceptance, beyond even embracing difference, to the point where the labels created and given to us by society became irrelevant. To the point where it no longer means anything to be black, white, female, male, old, young, heterosexual, homosexual, rich, poor, intelligent, unintelligent; where race becomes immaterial and religion unimportant. When we are no longer any of these things, when we are at last only human and nothing else, then we will be free.

Callously casting indiscriminate nets of destruction Mary Gardner Caught in a net of our own making: dolphin, sea lion, shark and us. At the end of May, the NZ government released the long awaited Threat Management Plan (TMP) for its iconic coastal dolphins. In April, you may have read my short note in The Echo about these Hector’s dolphins and the subpopulation of Maui’s. There are about 7,000 Cephalorhynchus hectori, split into separate groups around the South Island.The Maui’s, C. maui, off the West Coast of the North Island, now total 110 individuals. You, along with others around the world, may have sent an email to the minister about the TMP. So what has been decided? The single clearly identifiable threat is set gillnets. A government study found about 150 dolphins are killed in nets each year. Research by conservation group NZ Forest and Bird suggests 370 is a more accurate figure. The dolphins are about 1.3-1.6 metres in length, from 35-60 kilograms in weight.Their lungs are about the size of a human adult. Although they can hold their breath for about six minutes, caught in a net, they drown much as would you or I. Given that females do not breed until they are about seven years old and then birth a single baby once every three or four years, the maths are dour. More die than are being born or becoming adults. The populations are in that type of decline where, within some thirty years, they may not exist. The decline has hastened since the 1970s when there were some 25,000 around New Zealand. That was when a young couple, new biology graduates, did the first count of these dolphins. Some twenty five years later, Dr Liz Slooten and Dr Stephen Dawson continue to study these marine mammals. Their work is awarded both nationally and internationally but their findings get more urgent each year. They have given up most of their original interests to concentrate on conservation biol-

ogy. They bring the science of estimating populations into the big political game of fisheries, quotas and bycatch. The 1970s was also when three other trends took firm hold. First, DuPont created Dyneema, a spun gel that had from 10 to100 times the strength/weight ratio of steel. This was made into defence clothing, replacement joints and monofilament fishing line. It was also used to make nets. As well, set nets became vogue. One history puts their origin to the targeted catch of North America salmon running back to natal rivers

to spawn. But when set nets became plastic and widespread, the work in keeping a net, along with attitudes in use, became easygoing. Finally, there was a new fad in eating shark. Washed properly, shark fillets, white, with no bones, became popular as the cheap fish of ‘fish and chips’. Put all this together, set nets for shark in NZ coastal waters became a “norm”. Australia, as well as fishing its own shark, is the major customer for NZ shark. This fishery in both countries involves at least three species of shark. The common names used on both

sides of the Tasman are for different species, so let’s use the first names in Latin: Mustelus, Squalus and Galeorhinus. Galeorhinus has a biology unlike the other two but similar in ways to that of the dolphins: slow growing, long lived (up to fifty years), active in reproduction from the age of 12-15 years, breeding once in three years. The older larger female gives birth to more pups per pregnancy. This lifestyle managed some 400 million years until 1995-2003. This is when the pivotal large females first went missing in surveys of Australian stocks. The num-

bers caught in NZ have also declined. Gill nets, set deep and working long hours unsupervised, work too well. So now, finally, when you read the minister’s decision, you can sense something of the clashing currents. The TMP does admit the dolphins are in danger and sets out some further site specific gillnet restrictions. The Conser vation Depar tment announced the opening for four new marine mammal sanctuaries. But for all the changes to a fishery which may need to look to its own existence first, the plan is still less than needed. Dr Slooten calculates the dolphin population will almost hold on, but not recover. Every TMP has a legal requirement to work towards recovery inside a twenty year period and this one barely gets started. Dr Slooten is presenting this information to the IWC meeting now being held in Santiago. Keep reading. The net is cast pretty wide. From South Australia, Dr Goldsworthy reports that the Australian Sea Lion Neophoca cinerea. has a population of only about 10,000. Its reproductive biology is like Galeorhinus and the dolphin: slow

growing, long lived, with a non seasonal breeding of a cycle of 18 months. It is caught in gillnets set for Galeorhinus and others. The advice is to start strict set net restrictions and an observer program. Keep reading. Dr Andrew Read, leading international marine mammal by catch authority, says gillnets everywhere simply must go. Florida and California both ban set nets completely. So does Fiji. Not dolphin or shark, nor sea lion or us are totally lost yet. The dolphin TMP also puts NZ $6million in an observer program to monitor the new reality and consider changes. But we already know set nets, in both Australia and New Zealand, are indiscriminate instruments of destruction. We, as part of these ecosystems, must make them history.

Three generations have said ‘I do’ at Ewingsdale It was a case of déjà vu for a few members of the Potter family when Belinda Potter married her teenage sweetheart Andrew Tester at Ewingsdale Church last year and made it three generations of women in the family to be wed there – all of whom were present. Belinda’s grandmother, Belle Archer, mother Ann Potter, and Belinda all celebrated their nuptials at the church followed by a reception at Ewingsdale Hall. ‘It’s a bit of a family tradition,’ says Belinda. ‘It’s a beautiful little church and the hall is great too, especially now the highway’s been moved. I couldn’t think of anywhere else I’d rather get married.’ The three generations of Potter wedding photos will form part of a photographic

exhibition for Ewingsdale Hall’s Centenary celebrations to be held on October 11. While Hall Manager Di Johnstone believes the Potter photos are a great start she also needs help with getting together more photographs and stories for the Centenary exhibition. ‘We’re looking for a history of the Hall,’ says Di. ‘The Hall Committee’s records have been faithfully kept but we don’t have photos or stories and memories from the hall. We know they held dances here and, as part of the Centenary celebrations, we’re holding an old time dance in the evening.’ A school was originally situated next to the hall, and used it regularly. Di is also looking for photographs, histories and stories of the school.

‘There are generations of history at the hall, and the school,’ says Di. ‘They held everything from dances to cattle sales in these halls. If there’s anyone still alive who remembers stories or memories from the hall, or has old letters or photographs, it would be great to hear from them.’ ‘Nan’s going through all her old photos and things,’ says Belinda, and Di urges others to do the same. Anyone who has information (including stories and memories), letters from or photographs of Ewingsdale Hall and the school please contact Di on 6684 7706. Likewise, anyone who would like to volunteer.

History spelled out in black and white John Mills and Lauren Garrett tell Ri Fraser about their project for the Ocean Shores Arts Expo

O

ne hundred and fifty years ago a local man called Charles Jarrett needed more strong men to help with the cedar-getting in the Brunswick Valley. He heard of the two Mills men from Ballina and asked them to come to Brunswick Heads to help out. A third Mills brother, John, followed later. Subsequently, the Jarrett kids and Mills kids went to the ďŹ rst school in Brunswick Heads together. Years later, Charles Junior married a Gumbaingaree woman from the Grafton area, and his sister and brother married into the Bundjalung tribe. Young Charles camped at what was then the Aboriginal mission at Dunoon. Meanwhile, the Mills family became farmers, and opened one of the first stores in Brunswick Heads. Early this year, Frank Mills, John Mills’s grandson, was contemplating the history presentation for the Ocean Shores Arts Expo coming up in August. The theme is ‘Belonging’ and Frank felt the black and white history in the Brunswick Valley needed to be told in this year of the apology. He called Lauren Jarrett, who is Charles Jarrett’s great granddaughter. History has brought these two great local families together many times over the years. This year sees members of each family collaborate to tell their story and that of the two vastly differ-

ent cultures they came from. The point of convergence today is a unique lecture being given jointly by Frank and Lauren at the Ocean Shores Community Centre in August. Lauren focuses on traditional Indigenous customs, connection to the land and spirituality. She said, ‘I want to portray a realistic image of Indigenous people.’ Frank will tell his family story from his Anglo-Celtic

perspective, and both speakers have slides to go with their descriptions of the different food, dwellings, clothing, laws and customs, and interaction with the environment of the two cultures. Frank sees that today people want to know more about the Aboriginal stories. He adds that white people are very aware that many farming practices have been detrimental to the environment and our way of life.

‘While whites were harvesting from the land, the Aborigines preserved it,’ he said. On this historic presentation at the Arts Expo he says,

‘Aboriginal life in the Brunswick Valley goes back 40,000 years. They were driven from the land with no compensation. In this Year of the Apology, we want to tell two par-

Byron and Evan invert the paradigm In a collaboration inspired by the female form, local artists Byron Tik (pictured on the right) and Evan Malcolm (left) have come together to exhibit their latest works. ‘Inverted’ will feature paintings by Tik and photographs by Malcolm, all of which depict the female body from a multitude of perspectives. Exploring bodyscapes in rich reds and contrasting black, both artists have aimed to portray the ďŹ gures as mysterious and opulent. Almost theatrical, the figures are painted or photographed suspended. In Tik’s case, the ďŹ gures are literally hanging in air, intertwined in red ribbons. In Malcolm’s macro body shots, he has employed the power of extremely shallow depth of ďŹ eld to suspend his semi-abstract body shapes in ethereal darkness. Both artists depict female forms that are both bold and weightless. Byron Tik told The Echo, ‘By working together in this way we got ourselves out of our own way. Instead of our individual monologues, the artistic process changed to a dialogue. The work has been evolving and we have been creatively bouncing off each other, so much so that there will be more collaborations of this kind to come.’ Evan Malcolm agrees, ‘We have intentionally been pushing each other out of our comfort zones, with interesting results. Both of us have altered our approach somewhat and it has been fascinating mixing the realms

allel stories in a way that hasn’t been done before. This is our local history through “Black Eyes–White Eyes,� which is the title for our presentation.’ History is something to learn from, so Lauren is looking to a new future. ‘The next step after the Sorry Speech is for people to start to do things for themselves from the ground up – it comes under the banner of reconciliation. Aboriginal people are often perplexed by non-Indigenous people’s customs and laws, and non-Indigenous people do not understand our customs and lore. A two-way education for both black and white people will move mountains.’ Lauren and Frank are working hard to pull this exciting project together and look forward to sharing their joint story with the wider community. More details of the Ocean Shores Arts Expo, a Lions project sponsored by Murwillumbah TAFE, are on the website www.osartexpo. com. Artists wishing to enter the show are reminded to have their entries in by July 18.

of ďŹ ne art and photography. Byron and I have already decided to introduce more mediums for future shows we may do together.’ In an extra effort to unite the works of the two artists, both have also been working together to handcraft each picture frame. ‘Inverted’ will be shown at Retrospect Gallery in Jonson Street, Byron Bay, from June 27–July 12.

Inside the growing global food crisis Erik Adams The current world food crisis is powerfully exposing the deeply systemic vulnerability and inadequacy of the global food trade system and the unsustainability of the modern western lifestyle. The causes of the crisis are quite complex and according to Dr Raj Patel, author of Stuffed and Starved, amount to a dramatic conuence of critical factors that have caused food prices to rise dramatically across the globe. The following ďŹ ve factors contribute to this dire predicament for the world’s poor. 1. The cost of fuel rises as global production peaks and demand continues to accelerate. All stages of food production are heavily dependent on fossil fuels including fertiliser, machinery, refrigeration and distribution. Basically, we are eating oil. It is estimated that every calorie of commercially grown food takes a calorie of oil to produce. The mechanisation and industrialisation of agriculture has seen the number of farms shrink as farm sizes grow, transforming the cultivation of food into vast agribusiness monocultures heavily reliant on machinery and petrochemicals 2. The rising cost of fuel has seen a rush to convert arable food crop land to biofuel production, such as palm oil, and use existing crops, such as corn and soy, for biofuel rather than for food. This is related to the ďŹ rst factor yet blaming biofuels alone for the food crisis and for habitat destruction is too simplistic. In fact the destruction wrought by traditional oil exploration, processing and consumption on wilderness and habitat, is inďŹ nitely worse. For example, as the price of oil increases it becomes cost effective to extract marginal sources of oil and gas in more and more remote and pristine areas, such as the peat bogs of Northern Canada or the natural

gas reserves of the Kimberley, bringing untold environmental damage. While biofuel is deďŹ nitely not going to provide a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels, if you look more deeply at world land use biofuel production is currently consuming far less grain than is the massive increase in feedlot livestock production, which leads us to the next factor‌

tion to service this growing demand. In the US for example, 80% of all grain grown is fed to livestock. Unfortunately, as Fred Magdoff, Professor of plant and soil science at the University of Vermont puts it, ‘Feeding grain to produce meat is a very inefďŹ cient way of providing people with either calories or protein – to yield a pound of meat, cows require eight

farm animals are killed for human consumption and that at any given time there are more than twice as many farm animals on the planet as there are people, that’s a lot of shit to deal with. In fact a recent United Nations Report names livestock industry as ‘one of the top two or three most signiďŹ cant contributors to the most serious environmental problems, at every scale

3. The growing middle classes and wealth of China and India, and their aspiration to live a modern western lifestyle is, according to the UN, seeing a surging demand for meat and dairy products (a 500% increase in last 20 years) which are far more energy, water and grain intensive than traditional plant-based diets. The emulation of our afuent, overconsuming and wasteful way of life by the world’s most populous countries is a looming disaster. Much of the world’s edible grain is being funnelled into meat produc-

pounds of corn; pigs, ďŹ ve; and chickens, three’. Not only is meat grain intensive and wasteful, it takes three times more fossil fuel to produce a meat-centred diet than a meat-free diet and the livestock industry creates more greenhouse emissions than all the world’s cars combined, contributing to nearly a ďŹ fth of total emissions. The meat industry is also a heavy user and polluter of global freshwater supplies. Pigs for example create three times more excrement than do humans. If you consider that every year over ten billion

from local to global.’ American nutritionist Gene Meyer estimates that if US meat eaters reduced their meat consumption by ten per cent, 60 million people could be fed on the resources saved.Yet global meat consumption is projected to double by 2050. The westernisation of the Asian diet is not only an environmental disaster it is a public health one as well, as the diseases of over-consumption – diabetes, heart disease, obesity, cancer, etc which are all at epidemic levels in the West – become more and more prevalent in places where they had previously been rare. 4. The world’s food distribution system is highly centralised and controlled by a shrinking number of multinationals. At the whim of food speculation and market forces crops are produced for the highest bidders, ie. Western markets (while prices are kept as low as possible). Global hunger is not a new phenomenon. The ongoing problem of malnutrition, which UN estimates say kills 60 million people a year and affects 700-900 million more, does not exist due to a lack of food, but has more to do with the legacy of colonialism, neoliberal economics, politics, corruption and war. Increased demand and rising prices rather than beneďŹ ting poor farmers has actually brought the most beneďŹ t to the mega food corporations, the middlemen who control the avenues of sale and distribution in an oligarchy allowing them to dictate the terms of trade. This concentration of power has been aided and abetted by often onesided trade liberalisation policies enforced by the World Bank and â– %RIK !DAMS IS THE DIRECTOR OF THE the World Trade Organisation, and Funkey Forest retreat centre and a sealed by the dumping of the Masters student in nutrition.

Byron’s estuaries getting healthier

A recent biological monitoring STUDY OF 4ALLOW AND "ELONGIL %STUaries indicates the health of both systems is improving after the changes made to effluent discharges in Byron Bay following completion of the Byron Bay Sewage Augmentation Scheme. Increasing development and community concerns regarding the environmental impacts of the sewage treatment plants (STPs) resulted in Byron Shire Council developing the Byron Bay Sewage Augmentation Scheme which was commissioned in November 2005 and involved extensive upgrades of the West Byron STP and the clo-

sure of the South Byron STP. Council’s Director of Water and Recycling Management Services, Phil Warner, said that to determine if the changes to efuent discharges in each creek had a positive impact on the health of the ecology, a study of various biological indicators was undertaken and compared against previous surveys. Study results indicate that the diversity of organisms within Tallow Creek now shows no signiďŹ cant difference to that found within Jerusalem Creek, which is a more pristine estuary within Bundjulung .ATIONAL 0ARK AT %VANS (EAD Water and sediment quality also

show signs of considerable improvement since efuent discharges ceased. Results were also indicating an improvement in the ecological health of Belongil Creek, despite the larger volumes of waste water being treated at the West Byron STP. General Manager Graeme Faulkner said the results were extremely encouraging and will contribute to a suite of Council initiatives designed to achieve and monitor the Northern Rivers Catchment Management Authority targets for biodiversity, water and coastal management.

developed world’s subsidised grain surplus into food aid programs that cripple the ability of small local farmers in aid-recipient nations to compete. This system also means that food does not go to where it is most needed but to where the best proďŹ ts and returns for shareholders may be found. Thus the big winners in the world food crisis are companies such as American giant, Cargill, which just recently reported an 86% rise in annual proďŹ ts. With this understanding, recent statements such as those made by George W Bush that restrictions on the growth and sale of GMO foods should be lifted to help feed the poor are misguided, would do nothing for the food sovereignty of the poor and would in fact make them more dependent on agribusiness corporations and fossil fuels. 5. Climate change and extreme weather patterns have led to drought and floods that have caused recent crop failures or reduced harvests in many countries including Australia. The effects of climate change and extreme weather events exacerbate and are intimately linked to all of the factors above. Basically climate change makes the whole system much more volatile and could easily bring it crashing to a halt and induce a far more extensive crisis. Crops dependent on a narrow band of climatic growing conditions or abundant water resources are now very vulnerable, forcing many to consider different crops and ways of growing. What can we do personally to ameliorate these factors? While it may seem overwhelming, there are some things we can do to minimise our role in the problem and encourage restructuring of the food system: s 3UPPORT LAND REFORM THE CANcellation of debt, and the development of food sovereignty, fair trade and self-sufďŹ ciency in poorer countries rather than food aid programs that weaken local agriculture. s %AT LESS MEAT AND DAIRY IN PREFerence for a diet of local, organic, in-season, plant-based whole foods (which are also cheaper) and learn how to prepare them for yourself and others to meet your nutritional needs. s 3UPPORT LOCAL FARMERS MARKETS and businesses, learn to grow your own food, establish community gardens, community-supported agriculture, food co-operatives and support the development of alternative energy sources. s 6OTE WITH YOUR DOLLAR BY NOT supporting large agribusiness corporations including the Australian duopoly of Coles and Woolworths. s #ONSUME LESS SIMPLIFY YOUR LIFE and do whatever you can to debunk the myth that the modern western consumer lifestyle is desirable and let your Indian and Chinese friends know about it‌ soon.

‘We are all trapped in our own stories’ The Biographer, by Virginia Duigan (Vintage, RRP $32.95) Reviewed by Lucy Clark From trashy weekly mags to authorised biographies, the issue of the private lives of celebrities in the public domain – and how much information the audience is entitled to – is a curly one. Do the famous give up their right to privacy with every pixilated tilt at notoriety? And in this age of rampant information hunger, can they control the dissemination of the intimate details of their lives? Author Virginia Duigan tosses these questions around with a good deal of erudition in a terrific new Australian novel called The Biographer. In a very neat plot that enables all these questions – and more – to be pondered, The Biographer tells the story of Greer Gordon, a woman in her mid-fifties married to a famous CzechAustralian artist called Mischa Svoboda. The biographer of the title is a young American man, Tony, a Californian blond with disturbingly good teeth and a cynical view of mining

of privileged life in beautiful Tuscany, which Duigan describes in alluring detail. Into this idyll comes Tony, and this is where The Biographer becomes truly gripping, as Duigan does an excellent job portraying a frosty woman ever-so-slowly losing her composure as she realises her past is about to catch up with her. The dialogue between the hunter and his quarry (for this is how Greer feels) is heart-stopping, as he edges ever closer to the truth, which we suspect he already knows. The reader, too, can guess at the nature of the secret, as Duigan reveals tantalising Virginia Duigan will feature at the Writers Festival in panels on biography and dialogue snippets of Greer’s memory, the private lives of his sub- strous woman’, and from ing all ties with the past. but this doesn’t detract from jects in order to achieve there Duigan masterfully In Tuscany, the driven art- the dramatic effect when it is commercial success. keeps the core truth hidden ist Mischa spends his days ultimately revealed.

Greer’s internal monologue as she reflects on her past and her major life decisions, is self-searching and tortured, as she notes, ‘We are all trapped in our own stories. We can’t write ourselves out of them.’ In coming to this realisation, she queries how we change as we age, and to what extent we must take responsibility for our younger selves. Duigan is a lovely, lovely writer who intelligently explores notions of love and sacrifice, regret and forgiveness, and the dogged nature of truth and how it always bubbles to the surface in the end. And on the way to a poignant ending she serves up a psychologically compelling and thoroughly delectable read.

Razor gang threatens mentorship program < Writers in Residence John Pitt, Siboney Duff, Jessica Cole and Elizabeth Maddox recently completed a five-day program on the writing process under the guidance of Marele Day (centre). The residential course took place at the Coopers Shoot Guest House under the auspices of the mentorship program of the Northern Rivers Writers’ Centre.

‘Moral victories don’t count’ – S G Tartakower This year’s Writers in Residence program was thoroughly enjoyed by the participants but it could be the last if an Arts NSW razor gang has its way. An independent review of Arts NSW Cultural Grants Program has recommended that funding to all regional writers’ centres in the state be reviewed and that their services could be replaced by an online service. ‘This progam is unique, the results have been outstanding and it can never be replicated by an online program,’ said Marele, Day who led the most recent of the

mentorship programs of the Northern Rivers Writers’ Centre. The five-day residential program allows writers at the start of their careers to share experiences and ideas informally in a relaxed setting. Many, including Leigh Redhead, Sarah Armstrong and Jesse Blackadder, have subsequently gone on to see their works published and to make writing their career. The NRWC has over 700 members, while the region itself is home to one of the largest community of writers in NSW. The Centre also

organises the popular and highly successful Byron Bay Writers Festival, which director Jeni Caffin said was also under threat if funding was cut. ‘Congratulations to the four mentees and may they each find their way to eager readers,’ said Ms Caffin. ‘With regard to funding, we are optimistic that common sense will prevail and that Arts NSW will appreciate the significance of the residential program and indeed the contribution made by the NRWC to the community, both geographical and cultural.’

If you like historical novels to be brain teasers rather than bodice rippers we recommend Moral Victories by Echo publisher David Lovejoy. The life of Savielly Tartakower was marked by paradox. He was a passionate man who fought for the Austro-Hungarian Empire in 1914-18 and then for the Allies against Germany in the Second World War. He changed nationalities four times, being born Russian and becoming in turn Austrian, Ukrainian, Polish and French. A debonair gambler, poet and wit, he was yet ti tion in i pre war Vienna Vi haunted throughout his life by a youthful indiscretion pre-war Vienna. And he was also a world-class chess master who left a legacy of beautiful play and fascinating accounts of the game. In life inscrutable, half a century after his death some of Tartakower’s mystery can now be fathomed. Available from the Mullumbimby Echo office $24.95 (add $5.20 postage if ordering by mail).

the symbiotic sounds of summer

They’re five boys most at home in the back of a panel van. They have that urban roots thing well sewn up and bring a southern surfie edge with a grungy Melbourne vibe centre stage. It’s probably what’s most infectious about them. After a successful stint on the live circuit where they garnered some impressive support spots for bands like The Cat Empire, The Hoodoo Gurus and Resin Dogs, Symbiosis have just released their self-titled debut album and are hitting the road. Micka Etheridge is guitarist/ songwriter with Symbiosis and he credits recent support gigs in helping build bridges to more diverse audiences.

‘Playing with well known acts is a great bridge – it’s great playing with a band that has a huge fan base. Especially in regards to hip hop crowds, we were a bit different to what the audience was expecting, but we still got a lot of fans from those shows.’

MONDAY NIGHT

So how do the band try to market themselves out there in a very populated, talented and thriving industry?

‘For us’ Micka says, ‘It’s just about being true to your mission, and who you are and what you want to do, one thing we hang on is our want to remain stylistically neutral.’ So what exactly does that mean? ‘We can’t be pigeon-holed, and that’s testimony to those three bands we have done supports for, hip hop, cross over jazz, and Aussie rock, you don’t get much more diverse than that. We always maintain writing good songs and playing music in the simplest sense, and as word progressed and more media attention has progressed, from the commercial and non commercial, they want to categorise you.’ Most bands are slotted into genres pretty soon as they emerge from the musical womb so as to ascertain just where to target their musical play.

like Symbiosis want to be more fluid, and see if they can move between the markets. ‘On this album we have had JJJ play, Radio National play and Commercial play on Take 40 Australia, from our point of view it is really cool, because we are fully independent and quite a bit different. I think in the future there is that need to define yourself further...’

Symbiosis have built their sound on the live circuit. Taking their punchy brand of musical loving to venues and dance floors right across the country. Micka credits their energetic live shows as the inspiration for a lot of their writing.

‘We don’t really play with horns anymore, the album is designed with a different feel, we stripped back the band before we recorded it, so we could tour. If you use horns sparingly and in the right nuances, then the sound will benefit.’ Mark and Micka, the two guitarists with Symbiosis aren’t music school students, they both met doing environmental science, where their first passion was music. Their lack of music schooling is perhaps their greatest strength.

‘We just love playing live and love touring, and that’s a big place where the music comes from – a lot of our songs are written from that space of being able to travel and get your world view from those experiences.’

‘The best songs are written in five minutes, you take out control mechanisms, or inhibitors, you scream and yelp and hit rhythms that aren’t going to work, being untrained musicians we get trained musicians coming in going you can’t actually do that. But we do.’

The band formerly numbered up to eight or nine, but the lads

THE KEY TO YOUR FUTURE

Mandy Nolan

There is nothing I love more than a trip to Ikea. It’s like entering a magical world of storage options that are so inventive, and so incredibly compact it causes adrenalin to coarse through one’s veins like the first rush of love. When I am in

Ikea, I am filled with the sense that I could be living a better life. A cleaner life. A more efficient life. A more successful life. I could be like a neatly bobbed woman in a catalogue, smiling serenely over her morning coffee surrounded by her adoring perfect children. Oh, the sweet joy of Prozac plastic dreaming. Ikea offers the ultimate solution to hiding the evidence of one’s messy, complicated and unfathomable life. It can

all be neatly shut away. All those odd bits of paper, those lost socks and displaced buttons could be discreetly placed in a tiny box and removed from view. Ever since I’ve had children I’ve had storage issues. Each tiny body brings with it booties and trinkets and crappy vegetable dye drawings that can never be thrown out. I have a house full of stuff. An avalanche of stuff that I stuff under beds, and in drawers, or behind cupboards. (Perhaps Ikea

Matt Hill has been busy writing and recording material for a new album and has assembled a stellar group of musicians to perform his original compositions. The music draws on a multifarious array of influences from jazz, ambient, electronic, rock and experimental worlds and reflects his talents as a composer and keyboard player. He is joined by the otherworldly musical talents of Cleis Pearce, the remarkable Mr Dave Ades, the cool dark talents of bass player, Thierry Fossemalle and the handsome lovable and bang on good chap and shit hot drummer, Jamie Pattugalan. They play the Blue Birdy at the Buddha Bar on Wednesday.

KASEY CHAMBERS: ALL ABOUT THE GIRL Kasey Chambers straddles that nexus between down to earth country girl and grungy inner city chic. Kasey was the child of a musician who spent a good deal of time on the road. It makes for a fascinating and unconventional life. In 1986, the Chambers family formed the Dead Ringer Band with

Last trip to Ikea, I managed to cram a bookcase, an office chair, a coffee table, an office filing system and a laundry basket into my Laser. The kids sat on top of the flat packs and the trip home felt like a blast from the 70s, where my three unrestrained children rolled around Bill (dad) and Diane (mum) as the initial members and Kasey and Nash (brother) joining the band a year later. By 1992, the band had become full time musicians with Bill Chambers writing many of the band’s songs. Their first album Red Desert Sky was released in 1993 on an independent label, but the band signed with EMI a short time later and released their second album Home Fires in 1995. The band broke up when Bill and Diane separated, with Kasey to find her feet as a solo musician a short time afterwards. Chambers recorded her solo album The Captain on Norfolk Island over a few weeks in late 1998 with Nash Chambers producing the album and Bill Chambers on guitar. It was the release of Chamber’s second album Barricades & Brickwalls that really brought her to wider attention in Australia with her lead single Not Pretty Enough going to number one on the ARIAS singles charts. Her next two albums continued to debut in the top five position of the ARIA charts. Her most recent album is a collaboration with her husband Shane Nicholson, it’s an impressive country roots album, entitled Rattlin Bones, which debuted at number one in national Australian album charts and is still in the top ten selling albums. This tour is a chance to see Kasey play in a more intimate setting with her husband and dad, stripped back to the

I felt like a real bad mother, and if I still smoked I would have lit up and given the kids a feel for what my childhood car trips were like.

R U Coming?’ The show stars performers with a range of abilities and disabilities, and was co-directed by highly acclaimed performing artists, Emma Newman and Gabrielle Griffin, also known as duo The Two Frocks.

Using puppetry, dance and video projection, the performance explores the delights and dilemmas of technological communications. Enquiries to Norpa – 6622 0300

STANDUP COMEDY FUNNY PEOPLE What makes a person funny? It’s really about how they think about the world and how they struggle to make sense of their life in the face of adversity. For the past decade, residents of the Byron Shire have been learning the dark art of standup comedy through Adult Education. What

started as a novelty course that I thought would only last one term, has proven to be very popular. The only criterion I insist on is a sense of humour. This current crop of students are as kooky as ever. Come and check out their first performance at the Pandanus Room – Byron RSL on Monday at 8pm. Bookings are essential as these shows have something of a cult feel and tend to sell out! 6684 3443. $10/15. MC Mandy Nolan.

WHY NOT STANDUP Last month at Why Not went off – audience members were blown away by the level of the talent and just how funny the comics were. Every month eight new comics get the chance to try their material on the open mic. This month special guest MC is Robert Grayson. Robert is something of an enigma. Living between New York and Australia, he shares a unique perspective fashioned by the cultural divide. The Why Not Restaurant offers a generous meal deal, where audience members get a beautiful meal, a glass of wine and the show for just $35. Meals are served from 6.30pm and show starts at 8pm. Bookings are to 6680 7994. Wednesday 25 June.

CIRCUS CABARET WELCOME TO THE BLACKTOP BlackTop Circus present a very unique performance at the Byron Bowling Club

on Saturday at 6.30pm. This very avant garde outfit features Caroline Agostini, a Welsh/ Italian diva who performs a sensational jazz set. BlackTop also features the Sultry Miss Red – very talented burlesque hoop artist. You will also meet Mali de Goey, an animated golden colossus with an amazing ability to display balance and strength. There is Mojo, a joyous dancer, clown and all round character. Rodentia – a lovely little lady with unfortunate features… This unique and dynamic show will have you enthralled, entertained and amazed. Byron Bowling Club. Bookings 6685 6202 – 6.30pm start

ART, STRANGENESS, DECADENCE AND CHOCOLATE Decolletage is the first show from Repeat Offenders, the brainchild of Melanie Knight (The countessa d’Valium / MC PussnBooty from Slot Machine) and Llama Kendall (the Baroness Von Strangedreams). It’s a multimedia art exhibition and performance event which looks at pushing the boundaries of what art is and where and how you experience it. The crew will be transforming the Byron Bay Community Centre into an 18th Century aristocrat’s manor, adorned in fine silks with a lavish table by industrial designer Alex Polo, laden with decadent food offerings. The evening starts

at 8pm inviting audience members to view the art and wander through the installations. Then at 9.30pm the music and live show starts with an electro glam set by Slot Machine in a theatre/cabaret style show. There will also be circus and burlesque aerial shows, so come and experience just what the Muses of Midnight Madness have to offer. Tix $35/40. Saturday June 28. Bookings 6685 5070.

Like any culture you are a part of it because you live it!’ Q: What are your thoughts on downloading music for free? A: ‘Within dance music there has always been more money in performing as a DJ compared to producing tracks which is why we now see most producers working as DJs as well. To survive in the music industry one has always needed to be diverse.’ Q: What do you want people to get out of Friday Underground at the Winsome?

STARS

WITH LILITH

THIS WEEK’S GREGARIOUS STAR SCENARIO RECOMMENDS SPENDING TIME WITH FRIENDS DOING THINGS WE LOVE. THAT’S THE GENERAL THEORY ANYWAY: NOW SEE HOW SUCCESSFUL YOU ARE AT PUTTING IT INTO PRACTISE… ARIES: This week’s cosmic cocktail has you wired, fired and inspired but mightn’t do much for your patience levels. So set yourself the challenge of moving through this week’s small annoyances, bleeps and glitches without upsetting anyone – especially yourself.

TAURUS: Venus, your boss planet’s midweek move to the sign of stay-homeand-cozy-up suits you just fine. And since Taurans are cultivators, when planning this week’s moves think like a gardener: as in careful preparation, judicious cultivation, and who your harvest will eventually benefit. GEMINI: With so much going on in your mental department right now it would be easy to overlook simple things this week. Easy, but not wise. Don’t make the mistake of second guessing what others are feeling or what they’re up to – check in with them what’s going on. CANCER: Venus moving into your sign plus a full Moon rising colours this week a rich mix of the good, the bad and the inevitable. If relationship squabbles erupt, now’s the best time for dealing with them, because things can’t change and move forward ‘til you do. LEO: The drama factor’s high this week, though it mightn’t be the kind you like. Midweek full Moon in a fellow fire sign suggests stormy emotional weather, with rapport going pear shaped and heated

verbal exchanges – but by Friday misunderstandings start clearing and smiles aren’t far behind. VIRGO: Venus in Cancer’s a domestic goddess who wants you masters and mistresses of systems taking it easy at home organizing your winter rituals – definitely the best way to nurture Virgo nerves during this week’s tiffs and tussles, estrangements and reconciliations. LIBRA: A week of space invaders, chatterboxes, toxic gossips and nonstop ravers wanting up close and personal deep and meaningfuls… But also a time when friends go out of their way to spoil you or lift your spirits and strangers display unexpected generosity. SCORPIO: You might feel extreme impulses as this week’s situations undergo their inevitable transformations, but try not to go out on a limb to prove a point. If tough decisions are called for, stay negotiable – the voice of reason rather than reaction will get the best results. SAGITTARIUS: Oohwoooo! With the midweek full Moon in Sagittarius, you’ll be telling

it like it is. But expressing irritation, blame or anger can be expensive and what you say or write, once said or sent can’t be taken back. So be aware, take care – and enjoy. CAPRICORN: Whatever chills your stress levels this week, do lots of it – even if that’s nothing, and especially during the emotional nuclear explosions around midweek full Moon. The squeeze eases by Friday – take stock and make new resolutions during the weekend solstice. AQUARIUS: This week’s conflicting energies suggest keeping an eye on your valuables. If you feel an overpowering urge to break rules, discrimination and discipline are recommended. Miscalculations or accidents could be troublesome midweek, but Friday breathes new life into plans on the back burner. PISCES: This week you’ll be spookily intuitive and even more psychic than usual, saying precisely what needs to be said in a way others are able to hear. Relationships undergo midweek strain, but by Friday the dust settles for a glorious winter solstice weekend.

The affable Asrian, who had seemed completely fit and healthy, died of a heart attack while driving his car in the Armenian capital Yerevan. Asrian may not be a household name outside his home country, but he was a triple Armenian Champion and a key part of that tiny country’s amazing gold medal triumph at the 2006 Turin Chess Olympiad. Although never likely to be a top ten player like his teammate Aronian, Asrian was

extremely difficult to beat and his task at the Olympiad was to hold off his opponents, including deadly attackers such as Alexander Grischuk, while the more aggressive members of the team hauled in the full points. In other tournaments, Asrian’s solid style proved to be a handicap when chasing the highest honours but the young Armenian was still capable of showing his teeth when the mood took him, as in the following spectacular game from the 2007 European Championships.

The Yerevan Giants tournament, which began last week, was supposed to be one of the strongest rapid tournaments of 2008, featuring international stars such as Alexander Morozevich and Michael Adams, as well as local hero Levon Aronian.

1. If you’ve bothered to get a digital tuner for your set you’re probably a fan of television (aka couch potato). ABC2 gives you the opportunity to watch Red Dwarf again (Sunday, 12.30pm and Monday 8pm). This comedy SF sitcom developed a massive cult following and if you don’t remember you can see if the hype is justiďŹ ed. 2. Why not try some pure escapism, expertly performed, dazzlingly photographed, full of style and whatnot, signifying nothing. Under the Tuscan Sun (Prime, Sunday 9.30pm) qualiďŹ es nicely, with Diane Lane and Raoul Bova doing the irty bits. SBS offers the ďŹ nish of Augustus (Tuesday 11.40pm) with Peter O’Toole and Charlotte Rampling in good form, along with some dodgy battle scenes. Ancient history on the cheap. Channel Nine provides Wimbledon for free, starting on Monday, 11.30pm.

CINEMA BEFORE THE DEVIL KNOWS YOU’RE DEAD KUNG FU PANDA @ BYRON CINEMAS A CG-animated comedy about a lazy, irreverent slacker panda, Po, who must somehow become a Kung Fu Master in order to save the Valley of Peace from a villainous snow leopard, Tai Lung. Set in the legendary world of ancient China, this is the story of Po, our unlikely hero, who enters the rigid world of Kung Fu and turning it upside down. Po ultimately becomes a Kung Fu hero by learning that if he believes in himself, he can do anything. imdb.com

B Before The Devil Knows You’re Dead is directed Y b by veteran Sidney Lumet. IIt’s a riveting suspense tthriller that retains the d director’s classic approach to sstorytelling while updating it at the same time. The story comes from an intense, expertly woven script, the cinematography and editing and score are all excellent, but the performances are

what launch the film into the stratosphere. Sidney Lumet has been directing superb New York-set movies that merge smart thriller and character study for five decades now. Like 12 Angry Men, this one’s about perception, and like Dog Day Afternoon, it’s about a supposedly justified crime spiralling out of control. Before The Devil... is darker than these earlier works, it’s conceptually bold and unnervingly suspenseful. ~ Lounge Cinema

LENNOX

Even on a damp and wild winter’s day Lennox Head is beautiful. Foamy creamy choppy waves churning up the slate-grey sea and cliff-tops which look lonely against an angry sky: it is still glorious and dramatic and inspiring in a way that the comparatively calm and seemingly safe bay waters of Byron seldom manage.

I love in all seasons driving to Lennox Head. Sitting high above the heaving waves on soft springy grass straining for glimpses of whales, my beloved beside me, is well up on my list of Most Romantic Interludes. The alleyway of vibrant stalls which constitute the Sunday market down by Lake Ainsworth – especially on a morning sparkly with sunshine – is another treat. And of course that soaring swooping drive which makes you feel like ying as the coast road peels away beneath you past panoramas of ocean so spectacular it is hard to stay focused, sensibly, on the bitumen ahead.

touches throughout and a menu offering the sort of food people are currently wanting to eat, cooked with an assured hand. Service is fun and friendly especially if you are lucky enough to be attended to by the owner: Wayne Slater, former frontof-house at Fins when it was in the Beach Hotel, a man who knows everything there is to know about hospitality, and who envelops you generously in it. Through the arcade there is Providore, an excellent delicatessen selling house-made pies (Salmon, Fennel and Dill, or Greek and Lamb with Potato and Fetta, for example), dense Banana Bread, Blueberry and Almond Tart and Panforte alongside great cheeses both local and imported, Lismore prosciutto, salami and pancetta, and a respectable pantry of provisions like Spanish sherry vinegar, saffron threads, oils and dressings, Spirit House take-home meals and a nicely made Di Bella espresso you can sit down to enjoy.

The last nine months have thrown up even more reasons to visit this seaside town. A smart new plaza now links the block where the pub stands to the rest of the main drag, two points whose dots were needing to be joined. Spilling out both sides of the plaza are two restaurants, Quattro and Opes, whose wooden decks offer up in tandem the sort of ocean-front dining you certainly get very little of in Byron Bay, yet which is surely one of the great virtues of being seaside. Quattro is perhaps more family-orientated, a comfortable space arranged in front of a bar at whose high stools you may if over-age sip cocktails. There’s a large wood-ďŹ red pizza oven theatrically on display, from whence chef Alessandro extracts both traditional and gourmet pizzas around the $20 mark; the menu otherwise proposes pasta dishes, salads, antipasti and platters for groups (cheese, charcuterie and seafood).

Heading southward, there are stayers like Fishy Fishy, still serving a good selection of squeaky-fresh ďŹ sh and seafood as well as prepared meals such as Grilled Mahi Mahi on Parmesan Risotto, Salt & Pepper Squid, Marinated Prawn Kebabs and cosy soups with crusty rolls. There is one of my favourite fruit and vegetable shops in the Shire, Jordan’s Farm, not only charmingly old-fashioned but also suppliers of some of the most beautiful, mouth-watering salads I have seen anywhere – Zucchini, Herb and Sesame, or Thai Noodle and Greens, or Potato, Egg and Pea, for example. Up the Lake Ainsworth end there is Blackboard at the Beach, where on Friday and Saturday nights you can dine on the likes of ConďŹ t of Chicken Maryland with Minted Green Pea Tart, or Braised Veal Spareribs with Honey Roasted Kiper Potatoes while live music by well-known local jazz musos entertains you.

Opes feels a little more grown-up; it too boasts a cocktail bar complete with mirror and sexy burgundy wall. There are retro

And, unchanged and unchanging, there will always be seven miles of sand to walk off excesses, or just to sink your toes into.

Winter is (to the detriment of waistlines) the best time for eating, and so it comes as a great pleasure to hear about some glorious eating events around the Shire. At the divinely located Byron Beach Cafe there is to be a 100 Mile Dinner on Friday 27 June, featuring local produce sourced within a hundred mile radius and accompanied by one of Australia’s ďŹ nest organic wine producers, Frogmore Creek. The four-course menu will include amongst other delights Yamba King Prawns with Coopers Shoot Tomato Tartare and ConďŹ t Fennel; Roasted Alstonville Spatchcock with Wild Garlic, Northern Rivers Swiss Brown Mushrooms and Manzanilla Olives, and Bangalow Cheese Company cheeses. The evening kicks off at 6.30 p.m and everything, including wines, is a mere $75 a head. Bookings are, however, essential, and can be made by calling 6685 8400. And at Steve Snow’s Fins up at Salt Village in Kingscliff, there will be a celebration of mud crab cooked by celebrity guest chef Geoff Lindsay of Melbourne’s Pearl restaurant at lunchtime on Sunday 6 July ($89 a head) followed by a celebration of Pearl’s signature dishes on the Monday night, a degustation costing $99 a head. For bookings ring 6674 4833.

Sports Roundup with Eve Jeffery

results@echo.net.au

Luke Stickley has the stuff of world number one’s Eve Jeffery When I was a kid we didn’t have any surf near my house. You had to travel miles to get anything that resembled a surfable wave. What we did have an abundance of was surfers. Most of these were kids of parents who lived near the beach, parents who had not been fortunate enough to move to an area before it was discovered, or had not yet become economically secure enough to move to a real beach were there was actual surf. So what we had was a plethora of boys with all the right clothes and all the right boards and wax and leg ropes, the steamers (this was Melbourne remember), the whole haven’t-washed-it-inanything-but-saltwater-formonths blond on blond hair and stuff and stuff and stuff. And no waves. Apart from hitching a ride to Torquay on the weekends and the occasional ripple on Port Philip Bay, most of these boys didn’t get to see much surf, but they had the stuff and that was a start, and boy were they cute in their stuff. Heartbreakers really, but I don’t recall any of them ever becoming Mark Richards or Mick Fanning – just a bunch of spunks. Local surfer Luke Stickley also registers on the spunko-meter but he’s not just a pretty face. Luke was one of the lucky ones who grew up near a real beach with surf and everything and had two to choose from when his

family lived equidistance from The Pass and Tallow Beach, a short hundred metre trot and Luke had has his pick of breaks, that’s probably why he is so good. Being the current champ of the Byron Boardriders is no mean feat but Luke has another little surprise up his sleeve.The lad who was born in Byfield,50ks north of Yeppoon in Queensland, grew up to beat a world champ. Not a lot can say that. In April this year at the Boost Mobile Surf Sho at Surfers Paradise, Luke won his place in the final, beating world number 1 Mick Fanning in his heat, before coming second overall in an event that also saw world number 2 Bede Durbidge and defending champion Taj

Burrow fall by the wayside. Luke’s start in surfing was a mistake of stuff. At the age of nine, Luke’s dad Glen bought him a bodyboard and stuff – the stuff being a new leash. Bright pink. ‘I wanted a bodyboard to begin with and Dad bought me one with a pink leash, I didn’t want to ride with that! He said “I’ll buy you a surfboard but not another bodyboard, so ride with the pink leash or a surfboard”.’ Luke refused to wear the leash and his dad refused to get him a bodyboard (I’ll back you up on that Glen), so Luke ended up with a surfboard and a career was born. He stood up on his first day. Luke says he didn’t have much focus until his late teens when he discovered

that he actually like to surf more than just about anything else. ‘I’d get up in the morning, surf, go to school, then surf again. I surf to keep my mind at peace. It’s my way of relieving stress and it lets me feel free. You don’t need anyone else to surf, it’s just you on your own. That’s what I love the most about surfing. I also enjoy seeing marine life. You see turtles, dolphins, big fish, mantas and a few sharks occasionally. It’s very peaceful.’ Though Luke successfully completed year twelve at Byron High, there was a fair amount of wagging when the waves were good, and it is a product of the nagging by Luke and his mates that enables subsequent students at Byron High enjoy surfing as

an HSC subject. No need to wag after all. Luke hopes to make a career of doing what he loves. ‘I definitely see myself going professional. I’m hoping to just go places and have fun and travel the world. I want to be world number 1.’ When I asked Luke who he’d have to kill to get there his answer was succinct. ‘Everyone!’ (he’s joking folks, don’t write in letters). Luke says the best wave in the world is at Lakey Peak on the island of Sumbawa. ‘Lakey is amazing. It has a perfect wave, left and right, pretty much an A frame barrel, so you go either way, get barreled do a few turns then do it again. It’s great. I’d also love to surf the Mentawais, they are renowned for having the best waves.’ Luke is currently riding a

5’10” Nirvana thruster shaped by Suffolk bloke Bruce Ericsson. ‘Eric is a great shaper. I love the curves. He does these sharp rails that helps throw a lot of spray and dig into the waves when I need them to. He’s really good at it. He shaped me a great six footer for backhand waves.’ As well as his board sponsorship, Luke also has product sponsors Electric Visual, Surf Aids and Afends clothing, but he is looking for a cash sponsor to help him with the final leg of his quest for world domination – Luke will compete in WQS events for the next eighteen months with a view to going completely pro in 2010. Luke will head off to Japan next month to compete in the 6 star Yumeya Billabong Pro, then the Sahara Pro at Fukushima in September in the hope of lifting his rating. If you are interested in getting in on the ground floor with a future world champ, you can email Luke at lukestickley@hotmail.com At the end of the day Luke is just happy being in the water. ‘If I don’t end up with a professional career, my ambition is to be happy just living in a shack with my girlfriend, and surf for fun.’ I can see that it will be a long time before Luke gets to kick back in a shack, so if you see a big girl wandering the streets in a t-shirt that says ‘I met Luke Stickley and he beat Mick Fanning,’ you’ll know it’s me.

Sports Roundup with Eve Jeffery Red Devils repel Rhinos’ charge

Devils’ player Tom Merritt lets his finger do the talking, ‘I’ll think I’ll score this many tries.’ Photo Jeff ‘I Digit’ Dawson. To see more photos from this match visit our online gallery at www.echo.net.au

John Campbell It was well into the second half, the floodlights had been turned on and Byron were clinging to a 20-16 lead over the Grafton Rhinos. A willing encounter had erupted in an unsightly mêlée shortly before and the Red Devils were pressing on the last tackle. Instead of kicking, the ball was flung wide. An anxious crowd held its breath as it watched the passage of the pill. Desperate hands finally got it to centre Michael Chapman, who sidestepped the frantic cover

to score the try that would seal the visitors’ fate. Chapman’s teammates and the crowd went berko. The 32-22 victory was hard earned. The Rhinos, climbing the Retravision NRRRL ladder after a slow start, were in town to put it to their hosts good and proper. The Bay’s unbeaten run had ended at Lower Clarence and if Coach Nathan Cross approached the game with some unease his charges played a first forty that did nothing to assuage it.

The ref, at no time wishing to depart centre stage, penalised the home side at the second tackle and, invited into enemy territory, the Rhinos bombed from one corner post to the other. The defence made a hash of it, Grafton were in and, with the conversion, the Bay were behind 0-6. Playing like frontrunners, the Rhinos gained the upper hand and might have gone further ahead had the space they continually found on the left been accompanied by decent

it 2-0 from yet another spot kick. Ben Wills made up for his earlier miss to make it 3-0 before a late goal for the opposition. The fourths chipped in by winning 2-1 at Rovers, making it a great day for the whole club. Valley opened the scoring through Scott Thomson before Rovers equalised from the spot after a dubious penalty decision.Young guns Keanu Baker, Marcus Hager, Aron Heyning and Jack Carter were the heroes of the second half and their tireless running kept Valley in the match. A great through ball from Grub released Ray Musgrave in the box and it was 2-1. A fine performance between the sticks from Glenn Lawlor saw it finish that way.

quarter with the Magpies rallying to come back 2.4 against the Tiger’s 2.2. The second half saw both sides playing their hearts out with solid teamwork and individual efforts. By the third quarter the Magpies came up 3.1 to Tweed’s 1.2, and they finished the fourth quarter 3.4 to the Tiger’s 1.0. Throughout the game looked as if it could go either way, and the action was thrilling, a truly exciting game. Once again it proved that local fans do not have to travel far see exciting AFL action, and get a glimpse of some future stars.

After a long lay-off due to wet weather, the Valley boys were itching to get back into action on Saturday. The enforced rest must have done some good as all three grades posted solid wins. With a bright start the sixths finished three goals to the good in the early game at Tintenbar after a scoreless first half. Jamie Paterson opened the scoring with a clinical finish at the start of the second half. A second goal from Paterson doubled the lead when he headed in a great cross from Jake Montgomery. A screamer from Ryan Maclean put the icing on the cake. Defenders Russel Comisari and Jono Hughes were excellent and made sure there was no way back for T-bar. The seconds piled on the agony when they took on the Tintenbar seconds straight afterwards, winning 3-1. It was all Valley from the kick off and striker Ben Wills was unlucky not to score in the opening seconds.Valley piled on the pressure and they were awarded a penalty. Prodigal son Matt Taylor stepped up to blast home from the spot for his first goal since his return to the club. The advantage was doubled when Bumpy made

The mighty mighty Byron Magpies Junior AFL proved to be as exciting as the national league last Sunday when the Byron Magpies (pictured right), U14 went head to head with the Tweed team. There was plenty of drama and some great footy, but at the end the Magpies pulled it out during the last half to come out on top. The Tigers dominated the first quarter with a 2.3 lead over Byron’s 0.1. The action heated up during the second

sport@echo.net.au service to their winger. The Devils were at sixes and sevens before their forwards at last found some cohesion and Clarence Kelly scored an opportunistic try off a Mick Lambert offload. Winger Tom Merritt looked like Phar Lap running down Radish, but arrived a fraction late to prevent an intercept try to the Rhinos. However Byron stole the lead when Simon Kelly did a Rubberman impersonation to s-t-r-e-t-c-h his arm out and place the ball over the line. Prop Matt ‘the Terminator’ Ross was then sent to Disneyland by a brutal hit from his opposite, Neori Kurimalawai. For that smashing effort, his mates awarded the big Islander high-fives all around before chivalrously applauding Ross as he was assisted wobbly-legged from the field ... It is, indeed, a league of gentlemen. The blow ignited the Devils and they ran in a brace of tries – to Merritt and Tobin Cupples, the second on the back of a monster fortymetre surge from Josh ‘Rocky’ Rogers. Byron went to the sheds at 20-10, but that soon became 20-16 and a tense struggle ensued before Chapman got the breakthrough. Second rower Alex Butchies bustled

Byron Bay Boardriders Byron Bay Boardriders hosted the third round of Surfing Far North Coast regional titles on Saturday in excellent waves at Broken Head. The day started off with clean small waves and the increasing swell made for a spectacular final taken out by Byron Bay’s Nick Colby ahead of Stephen Walsh of Lennox- Ballina board riders in perfect six foot waves. Past junior world champion Garret Parkes also took out the under 18 men qualifying him for the State titles. The U14 boys was taken out by birthday boy Tommy Boucaut ahead of Sol Bailey also from Byron Bay. James Young from Angourie finished fourth, the only junior surfer from theYamba region to qualify for the state team. The U16 girls was taken out by Codie Klein over for another four-pointer and the Rhinos snaffled one on the bell to better reflect the closeness of the contest. ‘They’re a big, physical side alright. The boys had to really dig deep to get the points today.’ Coach Cross was as relieved as he was proud of the effort, the Devils proving conclusively that they are no show ponies.

Mullum to Bruns update The gremlins of Doh! were afoot in last week’s Mullum to Bruns update. Apologies to Tanaya Narby who we aged by three days. It is Aaron Wilson who will turn 11 on the day. T-shirts for the event with the Mullum to Bruns logo will be available for participants at cost price for $15. All shirts must be ordered prior to race day and the cut off for orders is July 21. Shirts can be ordered on the day for an additional cost of $5.50 which includes postage after the event.

ahead of Garret’s sister, Lana Parkes. The two have both qualified for the state titles. Thank you to Surfing Far North Coast for organizing and running the regional series and putting together a strong team to represent our region at the State titles. These competitions are seen as stepping stones for professional couriers in surfing and have helped local juniors to go on and compete on the world tour such as Danny Wills and Kieren Perrow.

Brunswick Boardriders The club event was postponed on Sunday due to unsuitable conditions and will be held this Sunday. Sorry for any inconvenience on the weekend, the club is currently constructing a notice board which will be left at the surfclub if contests are cancelled or moved in the future.

WOOLWORTHS SECTION 96 MODIFICATION

BYRON SHIRE COUNCIL

Public Meeting to Discuss Lighthouse Road Repair Council wishes to advise that a public meeting will be held on Tuesday 17 June 2008 at the Byron Bay Surf Club, Bay Street Byron Bay, commencing at 5.00pm to discuss the status of the Lighthouse Road repairs and boardwalk reinstatement. The meeting will be attended by consultants GHD and Council staff who will provide information regarding the issues relating to the delay in proceeding with the project. Further information regarding ‘What’s happened at Lighthouse Road’ can be found at Council’s website – www.byron.nsw.gov.au/Roads/Projects/LighthouseRoad.aspx Enquiries: Hayden Kress, Project Officer on (02) 6685 9315

Council is receiving many submissions relating to the Woolworths’ Development. People making submissions are advised that all submissions should be sent to the Department of Planning. At the Ordinary Meeting 22 May 2008 Byron Shire Council resolved: • That Council ofďŹ cers prepare a submission to the Department of Planning in regard to S96 application 10.2006.775.2 that addresses the issues of clause 45 of the Byron LEP, residential amenity, access, building design and Station Street upgrading, trafďŹ c and request Woolworths to consider an upgrade of Prince Street. • That Council request the Dept of Planning to support the readvertising of any modiďŹ cation of S96 application. This would allow greater transparency and opportunity for Council and community. Council is making a submission to at least improve on the current application which was approved by the Minister for Mallam’s Supermarket. Planning laws do not allow this application to be reassessed now that it has been purchased by Woolworths. Ensure that all submissions with regard to the application are sent to: Att: Paula Tomkins Department of Planning Coastal Assessments GPO Box 39 SYDNEY NSW 2001 Email: paula.tomkins@planning.nsw.gov.au Enquiries: Council Planning Dept (02) 6626 7066 or 6626 7144

Making ready to welcome the humpbacks Eve Jeffery The annual northern migration of the humpback whale is an event that most whale watchers cherish, but few realize that what they consider to be a passing parade of tourists is actually an Australian homecoming. Each year a growing number of southern humpbacks are born in the waters of the Great Barrier Reef where they learn to be a part of whale society in preparation for the long trek south into the big wide ocean and the summer feeding grounds of the Antarctic, before returning home in the winter. Veteran whale watchers and researchers took the time on Sunday morning to celebrate the return of the travellers and to acquaint a breakfast audience with the nature of whale migration and our essential role in the preservation of the byways and highways of the ocean. Southern Cross University Associate Professor Peter Harrison, stressed the importance of research into finding a non lethal way to age whales in the quest to stop the slaughter of these mammoth mammals by the Japanese and others who advocate murder in the name of science. SCU PhD candidate Dan Burns said that we are fortunate to have such a great

Welcoming committee Merv Whicker, Dan Burns, Liz Hawkins, Wally Franklin, Peter Harrison and Trish Franklin keep watch for the homecoming humpback whales at Cape Byron.

view of the journey. ‘Once the whales leave the feeding grounds they head for our coastline,’ said Mr Burns who has been photographing and cataloguing whales for several years. ‘They head up our way staying close to the coast. The nature of the Cape means that there is a bottleneck in Byron Bay that doesn’t happen anywhere south of here. We are so lucky to see so many whales here on our doorstep.’ Mr Burns said that the resurgence of the eastern

As fresh as they come

Australian stock after whaling was the best in the world. ‘Two million whales were killed in the 20th century. Of those 200,000 were humpbacks. Our group was estimated at between 35 and 40 thousand pre whaling, a number that dropped as low as 140 individuals in 1960. We estimate that 10,500 humpback will swim past the cape this season, that’s a great recovery.’ Mr Burns made special mention of the volunteers who for many years have counted the whales during the annual whale survey, in particular Merv Whicker, Adrian Oosterman and Paul Hodder, the founders and settlers of today’s whale watch, who between them have almost 100 winters of whale spotting. Trish and Wally Franklin of the Oceania Project presented a short film on the

whales at home in Hervey Bay. The Franklins have been researching and photographing whales for 20 years and have a catalogue of 2000 identified whales, one of only a few such collections. The overall message of the morning was the importance of conservation. Almost one quarter of the planet’s whale species are on the endangered list and with 2004 being the last reported sighting of the Baiji or Yangtze River Dolphin, it is suspected that they have been wiped out, sadly the first recorded cetacean extinction. The official whale survey will take place from June 22 atop the lighthouse but there are already many visible animals passing the Cape. For more information on the whale migration visit www.scu.edu.au and www.oceania.org.au.

DA Watch You may not see Council’s development application advertising as it is not placed in your community paper. As a free service, therefore, we regularly list all significant new DAs on public exhibition, making clear exactly what is sought in the applications and identifying the location of the land affected. We urge readers to follow up on DAs they feel may affect them by visiting Council’s office before the advised closing date and making an appropriate written submission. Be aware that all submissions are deemed to be public documents.

BUSH PAVILION HOME

MAGICAL RAINFOREST

GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR FIRST HOME BUYERS!

A well planned and constructed award winning Bush Pavilion home with spectacular views from one of the most elevated positions in the area. Numerous quality features including a very spacious open plan living area with soaring vaulted ceilings, opening onto a fabulous entertaining deck, an inviting stainless steel chef’s kitchen with gas cooktop, two generous bedrooms in the main house and separate guest studio with its own deck and modern bathroom. The house is constructed of hardwood and offers high flow through ventilation, clever use of louvres, ceiling fans, spa baths & massage showers in both bathrooms and loads of storage space. Built on nearly 900sqm, with lovely private garden areas, this is the ideal home for those who want to ‘have it all’, or would suit top end short term rentals.

This fabulous 25 acre land parcel will enable you to live right inside a spectacular living breathing high conservation rainforest. Backing onto the Nightcap National Park escarpment, this is rainforest in its most dramatic form. Creeks, waterfalls, ponds, and beautiful lush terraced areas. Reached by an easy access concrete all weather driveway, the property has a dwelling entitlement and is located only 10 minutes from a corner store and 30 minutes from Mullumbimby. This unique property is therefore not only stunning but also practical. The house site (currently occupied by a very large cabin with several rooms) sits high on the hill and faces north east over the valley. If you would like to literally move in with nature, to hear the sounds of birds and water – to watch every shade of green grow around you, then this is your paradise!

This bright and light well built old character home has spectacular rural views from its 1,600sqm elevated position right in Rosebank village. The north facing garden is full of established trees including palms and fruit trees. Comprises three bedrooms, study, two bathrooms, very large open plan living area with combustion fireplace, kitchen with large s/s gas cooktop, extensive verandahs overlooking the view and big basement area. Loads of original features including very high ceilings, French doors, polished hardwood floors, leadlight windows and lots of stained glass. Perfect for first home buyers who qualify to receive $7,000 rebate and stamp duty concession. Very good primary school and childcare centre nearby. This would have to be the best value on the market in the area.

Backlash new livery as a Jobfind Centre.The company was bought by Jobfind at the end of last year after the PM’s wife, Therese Rein, decided she couldn’t own employment agencies and still be married to the man who ultimately funds them. Apparently it wasn’t a hard choice. No problem for Work Direction clients: it’s the same team that has served the Bay well for eight years, still working to find you work but under a new banner. ■ ■ ■ ■ Queenslanders may be replacing international backpackers as Byron Bay’s principal customers. Research released on Friday found that ‘more than 617,000 visitors from Brisbane and the Gold Coast headed south of the border to NSW in the March 2008 quarter, an increase of 49.8% compared with the March 2007 quarter’.

Looking and acting like a huge odd-shaped teddy bear, the Alpaca has become a minor celebrity around the Bay, charming locals, tourists and even dogs.

A reader informs us: ‘Woolworths is not the only one making modifications. Seen today on the back of a ute was the rewording/modification of one of the popular stickers seen on shop windows and cars. This clever person had changed their yellow sticker to read: “Woolworths Real Locals Don’t Care”. What are they saying? Real locals don’t care less what happens to our town? You are not a local until you don’t care any more?’ ■ ■ ■ ■ With friends like these department: Rael, eponymous leader of his own spiritual movement, has leapt to

the defence of Bill Henson. ‘Nudity should be promoted not only for children and teenagers, but also for adults of all ages, as the human body is the most beautiful show of art,’ he says. ‘Those against it are those who are mentally disturbed and sexually obsessed by their JudeoChristian, especially Catholic education.’ Suggests a new extreme sport: Rael and Hetty Johnston, custard pies and self-importance at twenty paces. ■ ■ ■ ■ At the end of the week the Work Directions office on the corner of Fletcher and Byron Streets will unveil its

has been a drop in overseas visitors to NSW. Does it matter? Well, yes: if daytripping bananabenders are going to outnumber planet-circling poms, what’s going to happen to all those backpacker hostels opportunistically built in the last few years? ■ ■ ■ ■ The NSW Government’s Office for Ageing is relocating from Sydney to the Tweed Heads area. We suppose we should be parochially pleased. The state Minister for Ageing Kristina Keneally enthuses that it will create around ten new jobs and pump up to $1 million into the local economy. She omits to celebrate the ten jobs and one million dollars lost elsewhere but that’s spin for you. At least the office will be located in the seat of the federal Minister for Ageing, Justine Elliott, so the two can get together for a cuppa and a chat about ailments.
