Put a solar panel on your roof Lou Beaumont The Neighbourhoods Project, an initiative from Beyond Building Energy (BBE), has seen 600 households all over Mullumbimby, Wilson’s Creek, Main Arm, Federal and The Pocket obtain solar panels for a fraction of retail cost.The project is now set to expand Shirewide.

Through normal retail outlets, installing 1kW solar panels can cost around $6,000 after the $8,000 government rebate. Currently, as part of the project, fifty neighbours are paying around $895 each for a 1kW system. If fewer neighbourhood houses are committed to the scheme, the panels become more expensive per house – so the scheme encourages community consultation at the least. Each household must ‘self-fund’ their installation by paying the $8,000-plus panel cost upfront. After the panels are installed and the government has received proof of installation, the $8,000 will be refunded.

So how does BBE manage to save each household nearly $5,000? By dealing directly with a solar panel manufacturer in China, the company cuts out the middle-man when it comes to the export-import-wholesale-retail chain and they order and buy in bulk. Additionally, the obvious logic behind the households being in the same vicinity is delivery and installation costs are drastically reduced.

Shunyam Peinecke, neighbourhood coordinator for 100 hinterland households, told The Echo, ‘There is a huge demand for solar energy. This system has proven it and it is no longer simply a possibility for the well-off.While the politicians

Spotlight on Lighthouse Road restoration project Jann Gilbert Council held a meeting last Tuesday at the Byron Bay Surf Club to inform residents about the progress of the restoration works to Lighthouse Road and the lengthy delays.

The meeting presented an overview of the project, its constraints, the progress to date and the current situation. It also covered the timeline from the slippage event in 2005 to the present, the complexity of the project, the difficulties in getting funding approval from the RTA, and in attracting an appropriate contractor.

are dragging their feet, BBE has made it possible to afford solar today.’

Beyond Building Energy’s general manager, Mitra Ardron, said, ‘As far as we

know, this is the biggest roll out of solar panels ever. We hope to make the Byron Shire the most solar connected community in the country.’

BBE can provide assistance in the form of information and leaflets to hand out to your neighbours. Call 6685 5587 or email info@ beyondbuilding.com.

Blues traffic a boon for two Byron schools

Will Radburn and Julia Brophy from St Finbarrs kindergarten helped out as Peter Noble, Bluesfest Director (left), and Brendan Meek, Venue Manager (right), presented St Finbarrs Catholic Primary School and Byron Bay High School with cheques for $10,300 each last Wednesday. Also standing by were Byron High captains, Tony East and Molly Lewis.

The funds are part of the profits from the parking at the Blues Fest this year. Over the five day festival, more than 60 school parent volunteers parked approximately 1,500 cars each day.

Trying to avoid road closure Much of the delay with the project has been caused by a resolve to constrain restoration options to those that would not involve road closure. Other, more expedient options would have necessitated the closure of Lighthouse Road, which is obviously an unworkable situation, and may have compromised the overall safety of the project.

The investigation and design processes also proved lengthy, primarily due to the geotechnical issues with the site. When the final design of a pile wall was decided upon in 2006 preparatory work, including a stormwater outlet and gabion wall behind Clarks Beach cottage, was commenced. This work was completed in late 2007 and the intervening period has been spent dealing with the (unsuccessful) tender process and the submission of further information to the RTA from Council and its engineering consultants, GHD. The current delay with works centres on the cost of

the project, which the RTA agreed to fund through the disaster relief program, and the timeline for funding. At the time of the slippage the RTA estimated the cost of the restoration work at around $2 million and provision was made in the 2006/07 budget.

However, slope stability problems, soil and geotechnichal issues make the project extremely high risk for a contractor (who would also bear legal liability for any worst-case scenarios) and have resulted in a prime display of commercial opportunism with only one tender submission at a cost of over $4 million. (Not the only display of commercial opportunism where this project is concerned it seems.)

Currently, Council is in the process of seeking confirmation from the RTA for the project to proceed based on the submission of the additional information. Subsequent to approval by the RTA Council will still need to call for and accept a suitable tender, and then actually get the work done. Philip Holloway, Director of Asset Management Services, had the unenviable task of informing the meeting that it was ‘still a 56-week project from approval to final report.’

Inaccurate report Contrary to a subsequent local media report, the meeting was a public meeting, not a meeting ‘between traders and Council.’ The information presented at the meeting has been available on Council’s website throughout the entire process, and was also detailed in an Echo report in January this year.

To celebrate its second birthday, Circus Arts, Byron Bay’s indoor circus centre, is holding a three-day party!

The fun starts Wednesday, July 2 at 5.30pm with an end-of-term demonstration by the under 16 years Circus Arts classes. The next day the kinder session for one to four year olds (11.30am) and pre-circus class for four to ďŹ ve years (10.30am) will feature birthday accessories such as streamers and party hats. Then on Friday July 4 from 6pm the adult classes and the Circus Arts performance acts will showcase a breathtaking array of circus skills.

The demonstration on July 2 will see the children’s classes each performing a short act, and after the circus show at 7pm the audience is invited to have a go on the ying trapeze and stay for a sausage sizzle.

The showcase on Friday July 4 features performances by the adult classes and the advanced levels groups.

From 6pm to 7.30pm see the spectacular acts that have been developed at Circus Arts recently and over the last two years. This is an interactive event, not a sit down show, and guests can enjoy food and wine while being entertained by the rov-

ing circus performers.

Acts will include aerial performances on silks, web and lyra, roving acro-balancers and a dazzling display of high flying trapeze skills.

After the demonstrations, the audience is invited to have a swing on the high ying trapeze and enjoy drinks and snacks from the cafe.

Circus Arts is at the Byron

Entertainment Centre, 17 Centennial Circuit, Byron Bay Arts and Industry Estate. Entry to both demonstrations is by gold-coin donation.

Lions install Trevor for a second term Popular local identity Trevor Watts has commenced his second year as president of the Lions Club of Brunswick Mullumbimby. Last Saturday, June 21, the new board of the club was installed by District Governor Tony Cornell. Trevor Watts explained to the audience ‘Last year was good, but this year will be mainly brilliant!’

Trevor pointed out to those present at the changeover dinner at the Ocean Shores Country Club that the club had had a very successful year. ‘As well as working at major community projects such as Driver Reviver, and the Lions Ocean Shores Arts Expo,’ he said, ‘we have contributed $22,100 over

the last year to local and Australia-wide needy causes.

Lions’ medical research has been supported, as well as very many more local activities. I would like to thank all our community volunteers who work with us at Driver Reviver, and especially I thank my wife Liz for her encouragement and support.’

The joys of drawing from life Story and pic Lou Beaumont For 23 years Graham and Clare Bond have been running life drawing sessions.

With classes starting at the Byron Community Centre and the Mullum Scout Hall, it became apparent that the lighting and space were inadequate. In 1992 Byron Live Studio moved into a purpose built studio on the Bond’s rural property.

Graham and Clare, a lively couple in their 80s, each with a well-formed dry and cheeky wit, have offered regulars and visitors alike a chance to enjoy life drawing in a friendly atmosphere on a regular basis. They themselves draw at every session, loving the drawing experience, no matter how frustrating, more and more every time.

Graham said, ‘We have always wanted to allow people affordable access to life models. Artists don’t tend to be the most afuent among us! We have had many many good times here, and have met many wonderful people over the years.’ Well-known Australian artist Ken Done was one of the more recent visitors to Byron Live Studio. His lifelong friend John Pearson, a regular at the studio, took him along to show him what he loves so much about the place.

Ken Done told The Echo, ‘It’s been a long time since I’ve been to a life drawing class. I should really start trying to focus on the model rather than drawing things that aren’t even there! It’s a bit of a worry when you spend more time drawing your mate’s feet than the model’s bum! ‘I have a great respect for those that really can draw in

Ken Done interprets the model on his return to life drawing at Byron Live Studio.

the disciplined sense. That kind of ability is to be respected. But art for art’s sake is something else – there are no rules. Art is half a conversation. It is as much about what you bring to it as much as what is there.’ Being at Byron Live Studio reminded Ken Done of his ďŹ rst experience of drawing from a model.

He said, ‘I was nearly ďŹ fteen and I had to get special permission to leave school to go to art class. What I really wanted to see was a naked

woman, but to my disappointment we drew from a plaster-of-paris model for the ďŹ rst year. During my ďŹ rst attempt at drawing from a live model, I remember getting really paranoid as the teacher had consulted with everyone but me. Eventually he came past my easel and said, “Isn’t it about time you attempted the headâ€??’ Byron Live Studio is for those that want to experience life drawing at its most relaxed. All levels are welcome. Sessions are on

Wednesdays 10-12.30pm and Saturdays 1-3.30pm, and include a tea break and gossip. On Saturdays it is tradition to enjoy a wine after class too. Class costs $20 and paper and materials are always available if you have none of your own. You can ďŹ nd the studio about 6km from Suffolk Park towards Lennox Head, look for the big chalkboard sign on the right.

Great evening for Bangalow Children’s Centre Bangalow Community Children’s Centre held its annual fundraising on June 18, at the Earth’n’Sea Pizza Restaurant in Byron. The night was a huge success with over $5,500 raised to help maintain and improve facilities at the community-run long day care centre.

Local musician Sara Tindley generously donated her

time to help entertain over 100 guests, while the evening’s MC Angus Thurgate ensured the night’s raffles were conducted with good humour and without a hitch.

Organisers were overwhelmed by the generosity of parents and friends of the Centre, local businesses and the Bangalow Chamber of

Commerce, and wish to thank everyone who donated prizes.

Of course the evening would not have been possible without the amazing community spirit shown by Earth’n’Sea’s owners (Denise and David Woolsey) who, after covering costs, donated all proceeds from the evening to the Centre.

Solar hot water made easier‌ It is getting easier to make the changeover from electric to solar hot water.

Occupier-owners have usually been the first to adopt solar water heating but now owners of rental properties are being encouraged to join the trend. Since the beginning of May this year the Green Property Management Program has been available to landlords through the participation all the Byron Shire real estate agents.

The Green Property Management Program, developed by Paul Aroney of Australian Hot Water, can save the environment up to 70 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions per household

(the equivalent of taking a four-cylinder car off the road). It can also save a family hundreds of dollars per year in water heating costs.

The program gives estate agents and their clients a simple, one-stop solution to going solar. It takes the grind out of obtaining government rebates, saving time and energy for busy property managers.

The program was launched in Byron Bay on April 29 with the attendance of Shire Mayor Jan Barham, Ray Wiley, state manager of Edwards Solar, and many local rental property managers.

The Mayor said, ‘I con-

project,’ said Cr Barham.

In a spectacular backip, Byron United (who got on the issue bandwagon as part of its recent media attack on Council) announced that its planned protest rally over delays to the project would be postponed (read cancelled), and that it would support Council’s efforts to get the project completed.

gratulate Australian Hot Water and Paul for their initiative. This is an important step in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and ďŹ ts very well with Byron Council’s Greenhouse Action Strategy’.

Property Manager at Byron Bay First National Real Estate, Virginia Kane, said, ‘This program is an obvious win-win. We have jumped at the chance of offering it to our clients because it can cost as little to put in solar as to replace an electric water heater. So we’re saving money for them and their tenants, and helping us all do something really good to reduce our environmental footprint.’

Local News Grants to encourage end of factory farming

Beds where dreams are made...

The winter collection

3 ti- place arts & industry estate, byron bay 0266855714

Jann Gilbert Voiceless – the fund for animals recently announced its 2008 grants program, which supports projects that build and strengthen the animal protection movement and provide a voice for the voiceless.

This year’s program includes a new $25,000 ‘Against Factory Farming’ grant (the largest grant ever offered by Voiceless) to be awarded to a project that seeks to end factory farming.

Each year, factory farming condemns animals to a miserable life and death. More than 454 million chickens were killed in Australia last year for meat, with the vast majority raised in cruel and inhumane conditions. And hundreds of thousands of female pigs are confined to metal and concrete ‘sow stalls’, unable to take more than a step forward or back.

Speaking at the Vegan Expo in Sydney where he launched the grant, Brian Sherman AM, co-founder of Voiceless likened the treatment of animals to slavery, ‘Slaves were chattels once, objects in law,’ said Mr Sherman. ‘Animals today are objects in law with no rights or voice. This grant will help keep the pressure on industry and government to bring

an end to factory farming.’

According to the Voiceless team to be eligible for the new grant projects should do one or more of the following: raise awareness about the suffering of animals in factory farms; encourage people

Ondine Sherman. One of its major aims is to disseminate quality information, analysis and resources that will inspire debate on animal rights, and empower people and organisations to generate positive change. That

More than 454 million chickens were killed in Australia last year for meat, with the vast majority raised in cruel and inhumane conditions.

And hundreds of thousands of female pigs are confined to metal and concrete ‘sow stalls’, unable to take more than a step forward or back. to take action against factory farming, (like not buying products sourced from factory farms); work to create or modify laws or policies to help animals suffering in factory farms; or develop needed resources and materials so that others can effectively campaign to end factory farming in Australia.

Now in its fifth year the grants program has already funded many inspirational and original ideas to improve the lives of all animals in Australia regardless of the ‘label’ attached to them (food product, pest, native, introduced, captive, companion etc).

Voiceless is a non-profit organisation that was established in May 2004 by father and daughter, Brian and

change has one primary goal: the recognition of animals as sentient beings with rights.

And while many in the animal rights movement often find themselves labelled (nutters, greenies, tree-huggers etc) with Sherman the marginalised glue fails to stick. Worth an estimated $200 million, Sherman and daughter devote much of their time spending large sums to expand Voiceless and its reach, and get the animal rights issue on the public agenda.

Universities, councils, animal protection groups and other non-profit groups from across Australia are invited to apply for funding for projects to help animals in Australia.

Last year, 17 grant recipients received funding ranging from $1,000 to $20,000 for projects addressing a variety of issues including factory farming, animal experimentation, the link between livestock production and climate change, humane education and animal law.

Projects were as diverse as establishing Australia’s first Animal Protection Law Journal, illustrating and editing a short story about a wise hen who started a revolution that ended battery egg farming, and erecting billboards to inform the public about the cruelty associated with the live export trade.

Expressions of interest for this year’s grants program close on June 27 and late applications cannot be accepted. Applicants for the ‘Against Factory Farming’ grant must have DGR status. Please see the website (voiceless.org.au) for further information on the program.

The winners of the 2008 Voiceless Grants will be announced in December along with a special People’s Choice and the inaugural ‘Humane Resources’ prize aimed at promoting humane resources in the Australian education system.

Stock Market expert Jules Dawson is coming to Byron to present a one-night event that you can’t afford to miss.

We caught up with Jules to find out the secret to his success…

J

ules is well known for his wealth education programs. He is a wealth educator and active investor, with personal expertise in areas ranging from Real Estate to specific Share Market investment strategies.

We interviewed Jules and this is what he had to say: “Life was not always this easy. I used to be like most people working very long hours where the time and effort I put in to work did not seem to reflect in my bank balance. It all felt pointless as I did not seem to have a life, or time to spend with my family. I had to keep working to pay the bills. After having a gutful, I decided to start looking in other directions.

That’s when I discovered the share market.

“Like most people, when I started investing in shares, I thought the way to succeed was to get a hot tip from a friend or family member. When after every attempt at that failed, I started researching every shares strategy I could get my hands on. I practically studied every ‘how to

invest in the share market’ technique I could find, and discovered some techniques that literally changed my life forever.

“That’s when my bank balance started to reflect the many hours of hard work and research I had put in. I quit my job and started to earn a very impressive income through the share market. Encouraged by friends and family to teach them my techniques, I presented my first investment workshop and since then, have helped thousands of people achieve financial freedom for themselves.

“As a child I was brought up in poverty in South Africa and have never forgotten my roots. My family and I sponsor several disadvantaged children in poverty stricken countries and we are big supporters of charitable projects.

“For over a decade I have

helped thousands of people achieve their financial goals using the same wealth creation strategies I used to build my own wealth. I believe teaching allows me to share my gift with others. My simple approach to wealth creation is what makes my courses so successful. I break down a complex subject to make it simple and easy to understand.

I use simple language and enjoy entertaining people with my wacky sense of humour.”

“For me, teaching these strategies allows me to share my enthusiasm with others. I enjoy meeting new people and I am passionate

about the hobby that has gained me a quality lifestyle. I take pride in what I teach so others too can enjoy life and not stress about money,” Jules says.

Jules Dawson will be hosting a 4 hour “Introduction to Stocks & Options” trading course for only $45 a person at The Lord Byron Resort: 120 Jonson Street, Byron Bay. Saturday 12th July 1:00pm to 5:30pm Wednesday 16th July: 6:00pm to 10:30pm Don’t miss your opportunity to meet Jules.

An ancient art made new again Story and pic Lou Beaumont In an increasingly disposable world, the ancient practical art of blacksmithing becomes even more valuable. In reigniting his blacksmithing workshop, Bron Forge (so named from the furnace that melts metal), Bryan Peterson is fighting the trend towards obsolescence by creating works in metal that come with a lifetime guarantee.

There is no limit to what Peterson can create out of his studio in Upper Main Arm.Taking inspiration from the forest that surrounds him, Peterson hammers, twists and bends shapeless metal into countless forms.

Bryan said, ‘No form is perfect in nature but it is all in balance. It is this perfection in the imperfection that continues to inspire me.’

Reinventing himself as a blacksmith in 1991 while farming organic avocadoes, Peterson revelled in having lots of spare time to devote to his craft. With a background in chemistry and engineering, he was called away from the Shire to pursue career opportunities in the organic farming industry, returning here after a different business venture left him with nothing bar his forest property. Getting back on his feet through contacts in the building industry,

WE ARE MOVING! Bryan Peterson at work in his Bron Forge

Bron Forge began to accumulate tools and machines again, those that were needed to create structural steel parts for construction projects.

Only in the last year has the ignition of the forge truly begun.

‘Bruce from Coastal Fabrications remembered my metalwork from all those years back,’ said Bryan, ‘and he referred my first commission which required that I make a large table base with eight elaborate, individual chairs. I already had a welder, saw, and drill press from the structural projects, but for

that kind of work I needed a forge, among other things, so making that became part of the commission.’

Bryan made the gas forge from scratch through online research and materials found at pottery shops and plumbing supplies. Practically everything that exists in the vast workshop that is Bron Forge was handmade by Peterson, including design table, circular jig and each purposebuilt tong and template.

Inspired by the boom that held dental tools above his head during visits to Michael Leach, Bryan built one of those too – only he super-

Start your day with an OMM Open Morning Movement (OMM) is a concept raised at one of the recent Social Forum’s weekend workshops.

Initiated by Christo Warner, OMM is super simple, all ages, interactive, fun and free.

‘Lots of people like to exercise,’ says Christo.

‘They stretch, do yoga, play footy, jog or swim. The purpose of OMM to get people exercising on a regular basis and to get them together.’

OMM is planned for Tuesday mornings (rain or

shine) from 6.00am to 10.00am at Main Beach Byron Bay (near the Surf Club) and organisers are encouraging the community to come along and join in or even run a workshop if you’d prefer.

Christo says the idea started with a group of travellers who were staying at The Arts Factory Lodge last year.

‘A few well-practised yoga enthusiasts started getting together, hosting exercise workshops in the public spaces,’ says Christo.

‘First-timers gave it a go,

passers-by got involved, it was super. The feedback was fantastic, and the potential applications of OMM were really exciting.

‘You can do just about any kind of physical activity suitable for public spaces. We call it peer workshopping but you can host or join in whatever tickles your fancy.

Try out this or that, have fun and keep fit.’

Open Morning Moving is hosted by Angie Trueman and Christo Warner, and facilitated by TheFieldCreative, a GREATWILL Charity catalyst.

sized it to keep his welding tools and cords out of the way of the floor.

If there is a tool Bryan needs that doesn’t exist, he makes it, and he proudly declares that there is no limit to what he can create. After my visit, I for one believe him. Bryan Peterson’s goal is to produce functional art that will become family heirlooms. He is available for commissions of any kind: braziers, candelabras, brands, staircases, balustrades, garden torches, gates and arches; even nine foot high robots called Eric!

Local News Women’s views on peace to feature at human rights conference Elisabeth Porter Peace matters! Since 1945, war has raged daily around the world, with more than 95% of armed conflicts as civil wars within states. Violence erupts close to markets, cafés, temples, schools, workplaces and homes where women, children, the ill and disabled remain when typically men go to war.

Living in Northern Ireland for more than eight years during conflict, ceasefires and political stability, I learnt how much peace matters. When our eldest son received death threats to his life, we came to live

in Byron Bay for five years.

As an academic/writer now at the University of South Australia I meet amazing women at international events. In May 2008 I was in The Hague at a ‘Money for Women Peacemakers’ seminar. On the platform with me were strong, passionate peacebuilders. Malalai Joya is a young elected Afghan politician.When she declared that the drug dealers and warlords present should be brought to justice, her criticisms led to a suspension from Parliament in 2007.

She moves house daily to avoid death threats, championing women’s rights and democracy. Human Rights Watch (May 21 2008) advocate her reinstatement.

Check her on www.malalaijoya.com.

Asha Elmi Haji is a Somalian peace activist. When women were excluded from the peace negotiations because traditionally they are not part of the clan, Asha formed ‘the Sixth Clan’, a women’s network, winning a place at the negotiation table.

Check http://en.wikipedia. org/wiki/Asha_Haji_Elmi.

A concern with peace is alive in the Byron Shire and Northern Rivers region. I joined with many in opposition to Australia’s war in Afghanistan and Iraq. Yet, who knows that the Australian government should be developing a national action plan on UN Security Council Resolution 1325 on

The Ballina-Byron Volunteer Home Visiting Service (BBVHVS) is seeking volunteers from the Ballina-Byron Shire area who are interested in joining a friendly team of community-minded people.

If you enjoy working with babies and young children, have a belief in the right of families to enjoy raising their children in healthy, supported environments, and have a couple of hours once a week to offer, then we are very interested in hearing from you.

Parenting, although often fun and full of loving moments, can also be emotionally and physically demanding. Home Visiting Volunteers can assist with maintaining ‘healthy family stress levels’ by supporting families to link into their local community and service options, reduce a parent’s sense of isolation, and enhance the fun of raising children.

The BBVHVS is a Families NSW initiative under the auspices of the Ballina-Byron Family Centre. The service matches specially

Rukkus goes off in Mullum

Obviously sponsored by Bonds, this skater and the 50 others enjoyed the heady mix of perfect weather and the youthful exuberance which ensured the success of Saturday’s Rukkus skate competition. Put on by the Byron YAC and the Mullumbimby Youth and Recreation Facility with the generous support of the many skate companies who supplied prizes.

trained volunteers with families to assist with practical support, such as being an extra pair of hands on shopping trips or outings.

Volunteers may provide stimulating play for young children while a parent has quality time with another

child or just to have a ‘cuppa’ and a chat with a parent who is feeling isolated.

If you are interested in receiving the (free) specialised training, ongoing support, and workshop opportunities then please phone Bernie or Eve on 66864109

for an application. The next training period (five Tuesdays) will begin in early August.

The recruitment process requires that volunteers undertake a Working with Children screening process.

Comment

Rudd’s manner may stir left-wing unrest Vol 23 #03

June 24, 2008

Towards a continuous forum The recent Byron Social Forum was testimony to the many different voices that are woven into the rich fabric of our community. Diversity is a word that was heard often over the weekend; a word that Byron was once synonymous with and, ironically, also a factor in its demise. However, as with many smaller communities across the globe (particularly those of ‘State significance’, whatever that means), the realities of 21st Century life in our little town have left many disillusioned and disenfranchised.

It’s a double-edged sword: the whiz-bang world of technology and tinsel-town consumerism, courted by people, commerce and governments alike, has resulted in a plethora of social problems that seem to be exacerbated in regional areas by either the neglect or interference (or both) of far-away, city-centric governments with a definite bent towards commercial interests.

Concentrated media ownership, funding cutbacks, and ‘reforms’ (that are blatantly biased in favour of developers, industry and business in general) have all contributed to the deafening roar above which communities of people are attempting to be heard.

In a poetic and rather apt description one participant at the forum’s weekend workshops likened it to a huge dragon hovering overhead in the sky. But like all mythical dragons, it feeds on fear, apathy and misinformation.

The Social Forum proved an appropriate mechanism for airing the issues raised by the dragon’s presence and overwhelming roar, and, as the Friday night session demonstrated, it gave the community a bit of an opportunity to roar back.

More than a talkfest, the forum generated ideas that provided real solutions rather than thinly veiled visions that benefit few and inconvenience many. Above all, it showed that, with mass involvement and participation, the forum has the ability to galvanise thought into action, to dispel fears and widen knowledge, and create hope for another Byron Shire with a powerful, vocal and cohesive community.

As a community we have a couple of options.

We can whinge about the situation, throw blame at whoever we’re told to, and absolve ourselves of responsibility for change or we can keep the issues and energy raised at the forum alive, and get involved in creating solutions and acting on them. The over-regulation that many disparage is a direct result of the demise of personal responsibility. If we don’t like being spoonfed then we’ll have to help create our own nourishment.

To keep the forum and the issues in the public sphere The Echo is launching a new ‘community forum’ next week, where ideas and actions that progress community views can be launched, discussed and acted on. As initiator of the Social Forum, first column goes to Paul Spooner, Director of Byron Youth Services. After that, it’s open slather.

Please remember, it’s not a letters column, it’s to address the issues and ideas raised at the forum. There’s a maximum of 700 words so economy is the order of the day. This will also ensure more substance and less waffle.

t had to happen sooner or later and last week it did.

Our beloved Prime Mnister, Kevin Michael Rudd, officially became Mr Dud. But what was interesting was that the appellation did not come from Janet Albrechtsen or Piers Akerman or Andrew Bolt or any of the other unreconstructed Tories of the Murdoch press; it was bestowed by the satirical team of John Clarke and Brian Dawe, who whatever their faults have never been Howard huggers.

What’s more the christening was in response to criticism not from the right, but from the left: Rudd was accused of being too soft on whaling during his recent visit to Japan, when he announced that Australia would first seek a diplomatic solution rather than go straight to the International Court of Justice.

Of course, none of the above will prevent Dennis Shanahan breathlessly informing his readers in The Australian that the Rudd honeymoon is now over.

Why should it? After all, Shanahan has been writing the same thing every fortnight since Rudd became Labor leader some 18 months ago, so he is unlikely to stop now. A slight blip in Newspoll three weeks ago led to his latest outburst of rejoicing, only to see him back in mourning when the poll reversed itself last week.

Shanahan and many of his senior colleagues in the press gallery have still not emerged from the alternative universe in which they ensconced themselves before the election – the one in which the Howard government was going so well that the polls had to be wrong. And with a

“My darling - for your love - a thousand camels..., all the silks of Persia, the rarest oils of India, the finest silver of Egypt...”

change of government the voters have continued to defy the pundits; they have failed to bite on the opposition’s populism, particularly with regard to petrol prices, and have rightly dismissed personal glitches such as the Belinda Neal fiasco as good entertainment, but irrelevant to government.

The consistency in the polling also suggests that the electorate is prepared to give a new and inexperienced administration time to settle down and to forgive it a few early bloopers, and that the

OPEC comes in the latter category.

Australia can be a player on the world stage, but it should not aspire to unachievable stardom. And in any case, domestic economic policy will always matter more, as Rudd will find out when he has to tackle the issue of carbon trading. He would be wise to get into practice.

But this may also mean abandoning his autocratic style of government, which has been the subject of much murmuring among his col-

It hasn’t quite got to that stage: Rudd is certainly seen as a bit up himself, but he is not yet positively inside out.

by Mungo MacCallum rejection of the coalition last November went beyond mere boredom with John Howard: all that he represented was also on the nose.

Rudd’s so-called honeymoon looks likely to continue for as long as the opposition fails to offer something new and different – which in the end, almost certainly means Malcolm Turnbull.

But all this does not mean that Rudd can ignore some less obvious and less partisan criticism. Increasingly he is facing problems both over the substance and the style of his government. The trouble with the substance is that Rudd seems incapable of finding a balance: he is either obsessed with the meaningless trivia of a couple of cents on petrol excise, or sketching out plans for a new international order. His silly threat to ‘take a blowtorch’ to

leagues and the press gallery, and has now been dragged into the open by John Lyons in the Weekend Australian.

Lyons’s description of the prime Ministerial office as ‘chaotic’ is probably over the top, but the place certainly lacks depth, experience and gravitas.

The young Turks who run it – David Epstein, Alister Jordan and Lachlan Harris – take Rudd’s authority as their own: they feel they have the right to bounce ministers, departmental heads and journalists at their whim and have no hesitation in doing so. Harris, in particular, has developed a reputation as a thug and bully, and Rudd would be well-advised to give him a dose of the Belinda Neals if he wants to avoid turning the press gallery into a permanent enemy camp.

But there is also a problem with Rudd himself, and his apparently deliberate isolation from all but the chosen few. Part of it, of course, is his manic work schedule: it leaves little time for socialising and what there is he prefers to spend with his family.

But he also gives the impression that he likes it that way and has no intention of changing it.

Some blame this on a lonely and unhappy childhood making him wary of strangers. Others have noted that he is the first prime minister not to have served an apprenticeship in the old parliament house, where all the inhabitants – ministers, backbenchers, staff and press – were in a constant whirl of unavoidable togetherness.

But many of those who should be his supporters are finding it increasingly difficult to find excuses for his standoffishness. They recall what Paul Keating once said about the aristocratic Labor senator Jim McClelland: ‘Just because you swallowed a fucking dictionary when you were about fifteen, that doesn’t give you the right to pour a bucket of shit over the rest of us.’

It hasn’t quite got to that stage: Rudd is certainly seen as a bit up himself, but he is not yet positively inside out.

And of course he is the man who delivered them government after nearly twelve years, which gives him a certain licence. But it is not unlimited and sooner or later he will have to recognise it and start talking to people outside his office. Time for a few candlelit suppers at the Lodge, perhaps; while Therese might not have Hyacinth Bucket’s delicate touch, she’s undoubtedly better company

Letting inaction Once again Byron Council has resolved to do nothing about holiday letting. While the dominant â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;right-wingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; development factions support holiday letting throughout residential areas, thankfully they could not agree on how to do it.

On June 12 staff presented two options to Councillors, either provide for holiday letting everywhere in residential areas or limit holiday letting to speciďŹ ed precincts within residential areas.

Staffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposed holiday letting precincts were Wategoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Lawson Street/Light-

Another side of the tracks Q David Millerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s article last week â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Rails to trailsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; would make better sense if titled â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Rails and trailsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; as we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to rip up the rails on the Casino to Murwillumbah rail line and delay the return of a rail service in order to provide a cycleway/ walkway.

A system such as David advocates is currently working alongside an operating rail service on the Bellarine Peninsula in Victoria.

There is a 20 metre wide corridor alongside most of the Casino/Murwillumbah rail line to allow for vehicular access for repairs to the line. This corridor could be upgraded at minimal cost (compared to the expensive and environmentally damaging proposal to rip up the line and replace it with 130km of concrete) and used by cyclists and walkers.

For many years the Northern Rivers community has been asking for a light commuter rail service on the Casino to Murwillumbah. Bikes, prams, wheelchairs, and surfboards could also be taken on the train, making travel accessible for so many.

Having a cycleway/walkway included in the upgrade of the rail line just makes common sense. As petrol prices go through the roof, travel costs for people

who travel many thousands of kilometres each year to get to work, or even to get to and from normal daily activities, are prohibitive. The need for a rail service for everyday commuters (some not able to ride bikes or walk to work) is growing and must be addressed by state and federal governments.

Many young people also need public transport to get safely to and from social activities and a train service on the line, which goes through most regional centres, would be ideal. Some of these young people are forced to hitchhike with potentially tragic consequences.

The Casino to Murwillumbah rail corridor, despite decades of neglect by governments, is in surprisingly good condition. A few weeds are easily removed and a couple of bridges need repairs but compared to the billions being thrown at the PaciďŹ c Highway (which will make a brilliant cycleway when we can no longer afford to drive on it) the $50m needed to upgrade our rail line amounts to loose change. The cost would escalate if the line or the corridor is removed and also give politicians even more excuses not to act.

Rather than one group pushing their individual ideas to the detriment of the

house Road, north of Shirley Street, south of Childe Street at Belongil and both sides of Alcorn Street at Suffolk Park. Holiday letting would then be prohibited in all other residential areas around Byron Bay. The restricting of holiday letting to precincts within residential areas was identiďŹ ed as a compromise solution by NSW Tourism in

2002, the Holiday Letting Forum in 2006, Southern Cross University in 2008, the draft Local Environmental Study in 2008, and is preferred by Council planners. This position is clearly the middle ground, or a bit to the right.

It is thus outrageous for the Greens (Richard Staples, The Echo, June 17) to claim they are taking â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;the middle

Ocean Shores Q Re David Millerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s article about the Casino-Murwillumbah disused railway line.

There are groups of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Rail Ridersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in the USA, Canada and the E.U. who are making good use of their disused railways. They are constructing pedal powered rail vehicles, some with electric assist motors.

Herewith are some websites for anyone interested.

Looks like great fun as well as being environmentally friendly transport. No steep hills, railway lines are built with gentle gradients, ideal for pedal power. Surely there are some entrepreneurs with engineering expertise around Byron who could construct similar vehicles? w w w. r a i l r i d e r s . n e t / railrider1.html w w w. r a i l r i d e r s . n e t / railrider_x7htm blog.makezine.com/ archive/2008â&#x20AC;&#x2122;06/rail_ runner_make_a_cart_t.html youtube.com/user/ BigBoy4884

Not appeased Dr Meredith Lawrence (june 17) does not like the inconvenient views expressed in my recent letter about the Byron Shire Tourism Management Plan.

As the community groups representative on the Tourism Advisory Committee (TAP), my comments reflected the views of community groups who provided feedback on the plan as well as a number of other representatives on the TAP. The process outlined extensively by Dr Lawrence in her letter last week sounds

These forums will only work if there are opposing views – otherwise it’s just preaching to the converted.

From what I have seen over many years is that some interpret ‘recycling’ as ‘backpedalling’ on all other election promises.

great on paper; however, the process has no integrity if the views expressed by the community are not reflected in the draft plan.

It is suggested that to maintain stakeholder commitment to the consultation process, it would have been better if a media release had not been issued prior to the draft plan being presented to the TAP (see The Echo, May 27).

Dr Lawrence was quoted saying, ‘The draft plan addresses all those issues identified by our stakeholders at the outset’.

Why then did the plan fail to incorporate an extensive range of suggestions put forward by community, environment and arts groups? A clear example is the fact that cycleways and alternative transport issues were not mentioned once in the ‘actions’ and ‘strategies’ in the original draft despite being raised repeatedly by many groups and the Citizens Jury.

I stand by my original comments. As a community representative I will give voice to community views and will not be railroaded into accepting a document that so comprehensively dismisses the broader community.

A similar determination by environment and arts representatives as well as some Councillors has produced a rewrite of the original draft that is currently being circulated for comment.

It is hoped that Dr Lawrence and the consultants will be more respectful of community views this time.

Forum feedback As a volunteer of the Byron Social Forum planning group, I thank The Echo for its major contribution in informing the Byron Shire community about the above event.

Your front page article provided a synopsis of what five community speakers had to say about their individual topics but omitted similar detail focusing on the business question ‘How can local business ensure a

resilient, sustainable community? ‘ which John Gudgeon addressed.

While your article referred to a ‘ volley’ on the subject of holiday letting, the main body of John’s talk emphasised the changing nature of Byron Shire’s business towards its current emphasis on tourism and the fact that business activity sustains the whole community. John highlighted the need for reliable data bases and economic models which underpin planning for future economic development. We were informed that the number of visitors to Byron Shire has been diminishing since 2002, and that there’s been a resulting job downturn in this area.

This emphasises that our community needs to explore other sectors of business activity (such as health and wellbeing and development of the arts sector), which could have huge potential if adequately nurtured. The collaboration between the business community and Council, together with the broader community, can lead to a positive vision and subsequent planning so that individuals can make informed decisions about committing resources to create viable businesses.

This synopsis of the business aspect of the Social Forum should facilitate a

PP

meaningful and positive dialogue between business and other community sectors, hopefully leading to the development of a flourishing and diverse society in our region.

Byron Bay Q I thank Jann Gilbert for her coverage of the Byron Forum. I attended the opening night and found it stimulating but also very frustrating.

The extent of Byron’s problems is daunting: the huge number of tourists and lack of infrastructure; unregulated (and unlawful) holiday letting; the detrimental impacts on our natural environment. Solutions were not so easily identified and while some good ideas were thrown up, there was little understanding of the barriers to realising them.

It annoyed me to hear our Council called ‘Green’; if critics took time out to go to meetings they’d know better.

And what I find most frustrating is that, despite all the enthusiasm for change, very few new candidates are putting their hands up for election. I strongly support Cr Tom Tabart’s call to change meeting times back to night; this would at least give interested workers a chance to attend and even to stand – much more demo-

cratic and transparent.

My other gripe is the current arrangement for public access. I don’t know how this evolved but it seems to me totally disrespectful to the public to allow their submissions only out of meeting times and not recorded. I can see the possibility of meetings starting at, say, 6pm with the public given an hour for submissions then half an hour (plus) for dinner and the meeting resuming at 7.30.

Whatever is decided, I believe public access must be brought back into meetings and recorded. I hope people will support these ideas and lobby our current Councillors accordingly; it would be be really encouraging to have some keen new candidates popping up.

Fresh food farmers On Tuesday I went to the New Brighton Farmers’ market, especially because I wanted some goodies for my friend who had just had a baby. What a sensuous experience it was! From the minute I espied the colourful rows of pagodas, the mounds of fruit, vegetables and flowers freshly plucked from the Great Mother and sold by those who planted them – I felt connected and joyous.

Greek gift Woolworths’ willingness to work with Byron Shire Council (BSC) staff to make further modifications to the proposed single staged building as presented in their S96 is really the Trojan horse to get what they most desire – a single staged ‘let’s not waste time and money building’ that totally disregards Mullumbimby’s lack of adequate sewage capacity or their site’s

Byron Shire Echo June 24, 2008 13

www.echo.net.au

Letters ability to provide onsite disposal of any sort.

The lack of any means of providing sewage management to the S96 proposed single staged building, rather than the original two staged Mallam’s DA, should be enough for BSC to say negotiations are off until the sewerage moratorium is lifted. It should be enough for BSC to send the very clear message to the NSW Department of Planning that the S96 must be rejected at this point in time.

Unless BSC staff and Councilors wake up, how can we expect Frank Sartor to notice Woolworths rolling their massive Trojan horse through the gates that BSC have so kindly left open in Mullumbimby’s sewerage moratorium wall?

Other developers who have looked up at these seemingly impenetrable walls must be wishing the Woolworths Trojan horse every success as it is wheeled forward and hoping they will soon witness the fall of the sewerage moratorium wall, the wall that has thwarted their desires for so long.

Recent histor y saw Byron@Byron roll through Byron’s sewerage moratorium wall with an onsite system that could never work.

I’m guessing they’ll all be sold at a local garage sale, car boot sale or market stall in the near future. I can’t imagine such low-life would want the plants to decorate their own home environment. This, I assume, is how some people supplement or create their incomes – petty theft from struggling neighbours and pensioners like myself.

What a wonderful world we live in! Such a caring community! I live on a corner block which Council won’t let me fence in. Therefore I had intended to slowly build an attractive landscape with a naturally planted boundary fence. As I’ve gradually developed the front garden, passers-by have continually commented on the developments and admired how I’ve improved the look of the block since purchase.

After this nasty incident, I guess it’s better all round if I leave the front yard looking like a rubbish dump with nothing there to attract unscrupulous parasites looking for a quick buck.

A warning to any others gardeners who might place potted plants in their front gardens – don’t! And keep your side gates locked!

Bank experience I went to the Byron Bay branch of ‘which bank?’ the other day to use the ATM. One of the notes was damaged, so I walked in to exchange it. I was greeted by a form and the staff member, who I have dealt with many times, informing me that the note will be sent to the Reserve Bank and I will eventually receive the value of the fraction of note received, like $30.

I said whhaattt? I told them that I just got it out of their ATM out front. She said that this is not possible as two staff members check all new notes that are put in the ATM. I said, are you calling me a liar? Then I reminded them that I have three accounts with that branch, would they like to close them?

I demanded the manager.

A senior staffer came over with the same blag. She said where is your ATM receipt?

I don’t waste the paper but I reminded them that the transaction would obviously be on my account. They checked and still inferred that I was a liar. Again, I demanded the manager.

While waiting, I’m thinking, this is insane. The staff here all know me. I put many tens of thousands each year

through this branch and here I am treated like a criminal, trying to extort a measly $50!

Eventually, the staffer returns and tells me that they will give me the money as a complimentary one off.

No apology. So, in other words, you’re a liar but you got away with it this time only because you spend so much money with us… I felt like a chastised schoolboy.

I’ve been told that the Mullum branch of the Commonwealth Bank has a much friendlier and more local attitude, so I will do business with them from now on.

Making them listen I just finished reading a letter in The Echo about live music, and as a passionate musician I felt inspired to write, as I wonder why the word noise and music seem to be associated with a problematic connotation. What I wonder is: why does it have to be so loud as to create a problem?

My mind flashes back to a performance of the Beatles using little amplifiers and a big crowd of screaming teenagers. It is no wonder they stopped doing live performances. I wonder why they were screaming and not listening. Isn’t music about

No simple solution to food crisis Q For as long as I can remember, The Echo, to its credit, has promoted a range of ‘alternative’ and controversial views, some which are utopian, others libertarian populist that fall outside the sanitised mainstream media.

As humanity catapults towards a very uncertain and insecure future, we are admonished by many a commentator in our highly individualistic, hedonistic consumer culture lifestyles, that ‘personal responsibility’ will go some way towards ameliorating major global problems.

What astounds me is very little, if any attention is paid to the political, economic system that has a direct bearing on our lives. I detect a degree of cynicism and misanthropy. The stark reality is these are human political problems with political solutions. It is all very well to discuss: creative thinking, resilience, inventiveness – but unless there is acknowledgement of the broader political structural issues in place, we

are totally deluding ourselves in a collectivist sense to finding solutions.

The Byron Social Forum is a case in point. What were very skilfully teased out by Kerry O’Brien are the sharpening contradictions (social and economic inequality) that beset Byron community. It may be over optimistic to believe that the forum workshop participants would explore these social tensions and pressure points, understanding it is the effect of the broader political, economic overlay we all live and work under.

The proposed Woolworths at Mullumbimby is another example. Some opponents are fixated on the ‘localisation’ alternative (parallel disconnected economies) – ‘small is good’, ‘big is bad’ businesses, ignoring the neoliberal market economy world view. To try and insulate against the rapacious nature of predatory business practices is misguided and wishful thinking. Instead of analysing why, opponents try modelling reactionary

reformist and backwardlooking alternatives.

The ‘Global Food Crisis’ article made interesting reading, however only briefly touching on any political solutions in a very limited reformist way, and instead the author proposes some individual lifestyle changes and ‘fair trade’ (0.1% world trade) solutions to the anarchy of the global economic system.

In these very conservative political and economic times, people should well consider trying to understand these insidious forces that are shaping our present unsustainable lives and values, which are predominantly the causes of impending social and ecological calamity.

listening? This is where I think that maybe music has been hijacked by something else. Maybe the noise is more about adrenaline than culture.

Then my speculation continues, maybe the noise is more about making people listen. Then I have to ask ‘why won’t they listen?’ My main observation of modern music in the mainstream is that the listeners are not really present, but their awareness is altered, or distracted. Dance music is not specifically for listening, here the rhythm is more important, thus complex melodic structures are a hindrance.

In pubs or restaurants the focus is socialising, rather than listening to music.

So after the speculation I conjecture the nature of listening relevant to the post neo-neo modern world. That is to say the true nature of abundance is in the mind rather than products of the earth that are disappearing fast. The capacity of the human brain is similar to 100 terabytes. This is where I see artistic endeavours including music to be the best expression of abundance. And to make it a human endeavour releases us from the misuse of the earth’s resources. When I look at the music of the masters of the past, all of the beauty and potential is in the playing, and it only needs to be audible and well played to be enjoyed.

The concept of ‘making’ people listen is both absurd and counterproductive, but also symbolic of a dysfunctional social system. This is where I see the one of the

values of music, in teaching how to listen. When I use the term listening I am making the distinction that to hear is the first step, then to feel through an understanding of the melodic and rhythmic structures creates a deeper experience. Hopefully seeing then becomes vision, and hearing becomes understanding, and knowledge will turn into wisdom.

young girls – or girls that look that young – as the subject of erotic titilation. Well, you might be OK for your own 16 year old daughter to be the object of such utilisation, but I do not feel that way about my children. Perhaps you think it’s your right as man to do so, and not be challenged. As the editor of a ‘progressive’ paper in 2008, I expect more.

Your attempt to reduce my concerns to ‘McCarthysim’ evidences both shallow journalism and a profound misuse of this historical reference. McCarthysim was a form of American Fascism. The sexualisation of young girls is abuse.

I protest both. And I protest your misunderstanding of both.

What we can write I wrote a challenge to the sports page titled ‘Lolita and Ramirez light up Toyko Dome’. My alarm at the uncritical way your paper published this piece is furthered by your editorial response.

You say that Lolita is a great novel and widely known film. Yes. But surely the point here is that the subject of the story is a stepfather’s sexual relationship with the child in his care.

Your paltry defence of John Campbell’s use of the term ‘Lolita’ is that its a ‘literary reference that everyone can understand’. Well, exactly.

But the point is that Campbell actually uses the term as a source of titilation, rather than picking up on the fact that the literary reference is to a paedophile.

In every sentence of your response you dig your paper deeper: ‘Japanese women look younger than their age’.

You seem to imply that Campbell’s comment that none of the ‘Lolitas looked more than 16’ is harmless, because in fact they might be 17 or 18. This presents a view that its okay to see

Newrybar Q The food price issue will not go away, it’s just been sleeping under our resource extraction machine. All the respondents make valid points. Grow your own to substitute labour for cash, support certified organic

producers for environmentally sound production and lower food miles, don’t support the unsustainable corporate production and distribution system.

The Tweed-Richmond Organic Producers Organisation is holding its (short) AGM and Information night on ‘Local Food for Local People’ and invites everyone to this event at the Pioneer Hall, August 21 at 6.30pm.

As a group we recognise that farmers react to the market and 95% of production paid for by consumers emphasises lower retail price.

To supply cheap food, industrial chemicals are used, with negative environmental outcomes. To supply nutrientdense food produced without artificial chemicals costs more and is riskier, but has positive environmental outcomes.

What system do you endorse with your dollar?

The consumer ultimately drives the production, distribution and sale of food.

Some so-called ‘alternative’ forces here are pretty hostile towards visitors to the Bay. History seems to always repeat itself in one way or another. Extremes even tend to change sides in political terms… once fashionable on the far right, next time on the far left.

Council Roundup with Jann Gilbert

Groups plead for funds Community groups used the public access session at Council’s extraordinary meeting last Thursday to state their case for community donations, which were being voted on by Council at the meeting.

Council’s agenda put the budget allocation for community donations at just over $70,000 and while some groups got less than their original allocation, some also got more including Pets for Life Animal Shelter, WIRES and Byron Bicycle Users Group (BUG).

Going into committee to discuss the donations Council passed a motion to accept a number of donations without debate. These included the Early Childhood Intervention Service, Byron Bay Preschool, Byron Shire Seniors Computer Club and Juke Box Joy (a travelling entertainment group that visits aged care facilities).

Council had already resolved to allocate $5,000 to the Westpac Helicopter Service, $10,000 to the Brunswick Valley Rescue Association and a further $1,000 for NAIDOC week at an earlier meeting.

Cr Barham spoke to the motion regarding deferring certain requests on the basis that other funding sources may be more appropriate to cover the amounts. Cr Barham noted that deferment did not mean the funds would be used elsewhere but held over while other funding sources (such as Area Assistance Scheme funds, S94 contributions and other government grants)

could be investigated. If no other sources were available the funds would still be available from the community donations budget.

Commenting subsequent to the meeting Cr Barham said, ‘Community donations should be for those organisations or groups who have no other funding sources.

That was the original intent behind them. Some requests fall outside the parameters or there may be more appropriate means of funding them through other sources.

All these avenues need to be pursued by Council staff.’

Ultimately the groups for which Council was seeking alternative funding may receive increased funding from other sources, and this also leaves more in the community donations coffer for those without alternative funding sources.

After debate on which requests would be deferred or deleted the motion to approve the remaining requests was carried.

Council also voted on the adoption of the 2008/09 budget and Council fees and charges, and the 2008/11 Management Plan. The 08/09 budget included funding for some extra capital works such as the development of Clover Hill Park at Bangalow, floodplain management studies and plans for Belongil, Marshalls Creek and Mullumbimby, playground equipment for Lilypilly Park, and a substantial amount to investigate South Golden Beach drainage problems.

New fees and charges for Mullumbimby Civic Hall, and a late report on waste disposal fees and charges, were also tabled for inclusion. The motion was put to the vote and declared carried.

Mayoral and Councillor fees were also put to the vote and carried, with a reported a saving of $13,900 from councillor allowances.

The low point of the meeting was the defeat of the adoption of the Environmental Levy Works Program, which would have provided much-needed funding ($270,000) for bush regeneration, environmental education, coastal management and sustainability. Crs Tucker, Woods, Mangleson, Tardif and Kestle voted against the motion.

Council briefs The Development Application for next year’s East Coast Blues and Roots Festival will be placed on public exhibition on Thursday, June 26. It will be available for inspection at Council offices for a month. The DA seeks approval for a new site in Tyagarah, at present a ti-tree farm, to be the venue for the twentieth annual five-day festival.

Q Q Q Q The ancient Horse-Tailed SheOaks on the grassed areas of Main Beach and Apex Park are being removed for safety reasons. About 40 dead or dying trees will be gone by the end of the month. A replacement vegetation scheme,

based on ‘islands’ of littoral rainforest species, will go on exhibition soon, with planting due to begin in the spring.

Q Q Q Q Mayor Jan Barham is urging all local not-for-profit organisations to consider nominating their most dedicated workers for the 2008 NSW Volunteer of the Year Award.

Nominated entrants must have volunteered for the equivalent of one day per week for at least six months over a 12 month period.

The entries will be judged on a regional basis, with the winners moving forward to the State judging and awards ceremony on December 5, 2008. Nominations close September 30, forms from www.volunteering.com.au.

Articles Community Primary School celebrates anniversary Recognition for local Big Lou Beaumont From humble beginnings, the Byron Community Primary School is this year celebrating its 20th anniversary.

Two Byron mothers, Pam Briggs and Jodi Osborne, founded the school in the year of the bicentenary due to their personal need for an alternative option in schooling. Believing that the first six years of school are most important and the most formative, the two women established a primary school that nurtured children’s individuality, enabling them to be confident little fish in big ponds when entering senior school. Overcoming several hurdles that stood in the way of council approval, the school was opened and the creative crucible was born.

classroom and that was the beginning. From there, the growth of the school was completely organic.’

Growth was rapid too.

Opening with eight students, the student roll grew to thirty-two within two years, qualifying the preschool for government funding in 1990.

Starting as they intended to go on, Briggs and Osborne marked the school with its own motto: ‘Freedom with Responsibility’. Briggs said, ‘I had visited Summer Hill School in the UK where founder A S Neil based his school disciplinary philosophies on the notion that a child could pretty much do as he/she pleased as long as it didn’t affect anyone else. I really think that our students have a good awareness of their responsibilities and the consequences of actions, an essential life skill.’

With student freedom comes the right to be listened to. The school has, as it always did, strong studentteacher interaction.

Jodi Osborne adds, ‘The school calls on parents to interact with students and teachers too. The level of parent involvement has always been high and as a parent of an independent school student you need to be particularly dedicated to your kids.’

Current School Director, Matt Syme, told The Echo, ‘The school is a rare treasure. The high parent involvement is a differentiating factor between us and other schools, parents definitely have a more active role in their children’s education. I believe there are only a couple of other schools in Australia where parents help to run the school and truly have a say in its direction.

The school is constantly evolving and changes are made according to the needs of the collective current parent body.

‘For example, when the school first started it was totally open format with art and creativity almost entirely

the sole focus. And while creativity is still a core element of the school, as the school grew the parent body began to want a greater emphasis on academic performance. As a result, literacy, numeracy and general academic performance became equally important.

‘In recent years our formal academic results show that Year Three students at the Byron Community Primary School tend to score above the state averages in literacy and numeracy.Year Five students also show that literacy is a great strength with numeracy results being consistently strong.

‘Many students also show a great passion and creative flair in writing, reading, acting, music, science and even maths. Everyone’s passions are encouraged and developed wherever possible. We are more than happy with the balance our students have now. They are not extreme in either direction.’

School founders Briggs and Osborne are delighted to see the school thriving under Matt Syme and parental and teacher guidance.

Acceptance and nurturing of individuality is still the basis of school philosophy. This nurturing is vital, according to Syme, if the child is to develop an understanding of who they are, what they enjoy and what they are good at. He said, ‘Knowing these things about themselves gives a terrific head start when entering high school. If they already have an established sense of self, it helps them no end when hundreds of high school kids try to tell them what to do.’

Byron Community Primary School will be celebrating its 20th year with an open day at the school on Tennyson Street in Byron, on Saturday August 16 from 10.30.

As with their annual open day, there will be a full schedule of entertainment, but this year, past students are being encouraged to make it a reunion too. Call 6685 8208 for more information.

Jann Gilbert Before European settlement the Big Scrub rainforest stretched from the Nightcap range in the North to Meerschaum Vale in the South and from Ballina in the East to Lismore in the West, covering an area of approximately 75,000 hectares. It was the largest continuous expanse of lowland subtropical rainforest in Australia, built and nourished on the area’s rich, red, volcanic soil.

For thousands of years Aboriginal people enjoyed the abundance of food the Big Scrub provided and, as a spiritually significant region, it was also used for Corroborees and other ceremonial purposes.

Since European settlement the Big Scrub has been cleared for agriculture, development and other purposes, taking with it the rich biodiversity the forest once sustained. Less than one per cent of this giant forest remains: small, scattered

nants of Big Scrub on his property, Little Benny’s and Beacon’s.

‘I bought the property for the rainforest,’ says Steve.

‘According to Sandy Beacon [a descendent of the original settlers] Little Benny’s has never been logged. There are some huge Cedar in there and Figs, many of them over 400 years old.’

Steve believes one of the major problems confronting the survival of the remnants is the never-ending encroachment by many of the 2,700 introduced weed species including Madeira vine, Camphor Laurel, Lantana and Privet.

‘Weed control is so intense in this red soil country,’ says Steve. ‘Everything grows and multiplies at a prodigious rate. It’s a bit like a Harbour Bridge job.

‘I think Madeira Vine will be one of our worst environmental problems in years to come because it just seems to grow anywhere. Farmers already

remnants, most of which are less than five hectares in area and, collectively, cover less than 700 hectares.

In an effort to save what remains of the Big Scrub and revegetate cleared areas, the Big Scrub Rainforest Landcare Group (BSRLG) was formed in 1992. It is now the largest and most active landcare group in the region with over 300 members, and its work in conservation, rehabilitation, revegetation and restoration has recently been recognised in a NSW Environmental Trust report.

BSRLG were commended for ‘focusing meaningful onground works in the area of remnant vegetation restoration works.’ Commendations were also received for the large part played by volunteers and other local community members.

One such community member is Steve Balding, a landholder on the edge of Byron Shire, who has dedicated whatever time he has to protecting, restoring and revegetating the two rem-

spend about $4 billion on weed control annually.’

Part of the problem is the lack of funding for research on sustainable weed control in rainforest remnants such as utilising natural predators or viruses to attack introduced species. Steve believes another problem is the size of properties and the limited time and resources available to landholders.

‘The government should allow much smaller subdivisions here,’ says Steve. ‘Let people have niche agricultural pursuits. One person can control 20 or 30 acres but these places [220 acres] aren’t really viable, you can’t make a living off them. It makes more sense than seeing valuable country gobbled up by weeds.’

While the task might appear Herculean, Steve, other landholders and BSRLG volunteers are committed to caring for and building on the precious Big Scrub remnants and their remaining biodiversity, As Steve says, ‘It’s good work.

You never get tired of it.’

Brunswick bypassed but not by time The tenth anniversary of the first Brunswick bypass prompts Michele Grant to reflect on the decade It’s the tenth Anniversary of the opening of the Brunswick Heads Bypass.

The Pacific Highway rumbled down Tweed Street, dissecting the village with an ever constant stream of traffic until June 5, 1998, when the first $22 million single carriageway bypassing to the west of the town was opened by a bevy of politicians and local dignitaries including Mark Vaile, Larry Anthony and Don Page.

More returned, just over nine years later, to officiate at the opening of the $256 million Bruns-Yelgun Pacific Highway Upgrade.

During the turbulent 90s the Byron community was forced to deal with five separate Development Applications from the RTA as they blazed a dual carriageway across the Shire. In comparison the 42km Chinderah to Yelgun section of the Pacific Highway upgrade required just one DA. The RTA divided Byron Shire into small strategic sections, fracturing the community with recurring battles over preferred route selection and exhausting all but the Nimbys with pointless powerpoint presentations at fiery community consultations.

First was the Bangalow Bypass, then Brunswick Bypass, followed by Tandy’s Lane/Tyagarah section. The

Battle over Byron resulted in an upgrade of Bangalow Hill, with the selection of an alternate route still unresolved. The last battle was over the route for the Bruns to Yelgun upgrade.

A DA was required for each preferred route, which

unleashed more recurring waves of consultation over design specifications, and endless argument over social and environmental impacts.

Each DA produced multiple volumes of costly complex documents that few in the community were prepared to read or could actually comprehend, let alone effectively respond in personal submissions.

The community is indebted to the Byron Environment Centre, BEACON, CONOS and the Greens, and other community groups and individuals who did the

satisfactorily assessed nor adequately addressed.

As the dust settles over the long running RTA saga, it’s not surprising the community would rather forget than commemorate the opening of the Brunswick Heads bypass.

The Bypass has given the community some good reasons to celebrate.

As predicted at countless community forums, the RTA’s upgrade of the Pacific Highway has transformed Brunswick Heads.

A little sweetener that benefits all Jann Gilbert Imagine if one cent from every cup of coffee bought in the Shire was donated to a community fund? Or one per cent from every grocery bill, one dollar per surfboard sold or bed booked?

It doesn’t take a lot of imagination to realise the amount of money this would quickly generate; money that could then be distributed to a variety of not-for-profit community organisations and services, many of whom struggle to remain operational.

Cause-related marketing, as this type of initiative is known, provides a practical and simple means for business and industry to support the community that supports them, and it has benefits for their public image too. Market research has shown that customers are more likely to support businesses that contribute something back to the community, which means that being identified with community philanthropy often translates to increased turnover.

Northern Rivers Community Foundation board

member, John Bennett, believes this is a valuable tool for fundraising, particularly in smaller communities. ‘The majority of businesses in the region are small to medium size and while they are happy to support community philanthropy it’s not always financially possible,’ says John. ‘But if everyone gives a little bit you can share the load across the business community, and raise an awful lot of funds that can be put back into the wider community, particularly where they’re needed most.’

Over the past three years NRCF has distributed over $85,000 to 27 community groups including the Homeless and Community Breakfast, Spaghetti Circus, Byron Youth Service and many more. NRCF’s capital is maintained in perpetuity with the tax-free income distributed, which means all contributions continue to grow and support the community.

In order to increase its

capital and its ability to provide assistance NRCF is asking all members of the business community to consider how they might help support their community, and benefit from developing a relationship with NRCF.

urday night. The ground no longer trembles. The air isn’t saturated with a humid cocktail of diesel and petrol fumes or the sound of crunching gears and squealing brakes.

There were many empty shops and a renter’s paradise reigned before the bypass.

There was just one café on The Terrace and outdoor diners picnicked in the riverside parks. Basic maintenance had been long neglected and many buildings looked shabby and ripe for a makeover.

Over the past decade outdoor dining has proliferated. Every shop is rented.

Brisbane weekenders and Gold Coast day-trippers have replaced the farming families and southern retirees touring the lawn bowls circuit.

Land prices – and the cost of renting – have soared but the sewerage moratorium has stalled broadscale redevelopment, and bought the renovators a decade to enjoy

the peaceful ambience.

Byron Shire residents are renowned for their commitment to protecting the environment and our native wildlife. Let’s hope this outstanding reputation can be maintained long after the bypass.

Both stories and community are at the heart of the work Cape Byron Playback Theatre Company does, and has been doing in this region since 1998. With its unique form of improvised theatre, Playback is used to reflect on issues of human existence and to encourage deeper connections and awareness within communities. It highlights individual experience within broader issues and brings empathy, compassion, respect and often humour to people’s perceptions of themselves and the world around them.

To commemorate their tenth birthday, Cape Byron Playback Theatre Company invites you to attend a special performance on Saturday July 5, with the theme of ‘Celebrating Community’.

The theatrical form of ‘playing back’ was originally devised in 1975 in the US by Jonathan Fox, who was influenced by both the power of traditional forms of storytelling and other community rituals, and by psychodrama.

He and a like-minded group of people developed the form over several years, travelling around parts of the

States and performing for a range of audiences. Since then Playback Theatre has spread to over 50 countries around the globe, and in 1990 the International Playback Theatre Network, of which Cape Byron Playback theatre Company is a member, was founded to support Playback activity.

In 1997, one of Australia’s most experienced Playback performers, Persia Wildwood, came from Bellingen to the Byron Shire to teach a group of interested individuals about Playback Theatre. Out of that initial workshop, the Cape Byron Playback Theatre Company was formed and is now a successful and well-estab-

lished professional group in the region, having travelled to perform from Bellingen to Byron Bay, Ballina to Tweed Heads, Lismore to Nimbin, Bangalow to Mullumbimby.

In addition to public performances for our communities, the Company works for clients such as local councils, government departments, health and community welfare organisations, environmental and social action groups, professional bodies, festivals, and conferences.

Cape Byron Playback has also supported communitybased initiatives such as Spirit of Learning, 48 Hours of Visual Arts (FEHVA), and the recent Byron Social

Forum. In addition, they run courses through ACE, introducing over 100 locals over the years to Playback Theatre’s flavour of improvisational storytelling.

The Company has held over 25 community performances, open to the public, exploring themes such as ‘Living in a Material World’, ‘Leap of Faith’ and ‘The Highs and Lows of Living in the Byron Shire’. As part of their concept of community service, these community performances are entry by donation, with proceeds contributed to the Drill Hall Theatre, the home base for Cape Byron Playback.

Playback Theatre is spontaneous, improvised theatre, where the audience members tell experiences from their lives and then watch as their stories are immediately ‘played back’ through movement and sound.

With many issues bubbling in the region, Cape Byron Playback Theatre Company invites you to tell and witness your experiences with ‘community’.

‘This is an opportunity to reflect on and witness the stories that connect us, that move us, that make us laugh and that inspire us’, says Company spokesperson Briony Edwards.

Their performance is held at the Drill Hall, Mullumbimby, at 7.30 pm on Saturday July 5. Entry is by donation. Enquiries: please contact Briony Edwards on 6685 4501 or email playback@exemail.com.au.

SAE students win Cannes awards

Two students from SAE carried off awards at the recent Cannes Film Festival and earned the praise of teacher, Russell Burton, not to mention the attention of the international film community.

Mikaela Shwer won Best Emerging Editor section at this year’s Reel Ideas Studio program at Cannes, where forty-five students from around the world worked within culturally diverse teams to create nine documentaries related to their experience at the 2008 Cannes festival.

Fellow student, Vincenzo Cosentino (a director, writer and cinematographer who has also won first prize at AVID Asia) won Best Short Film at the short film festival attached to Cannes with his film, The Flip Trip. Vincenzo says his film is aptly titled, ‘when you consider that the competition involved mak-

ing a three-minute movie in less than two days using a ‘Flip’ video camcorder.’

Both competitions attracted an enormous number of entries, which highlights the importance of Mikaela and Vincenzo’s success.

‘The two of them are extraordinarily passionate film students,’ says Russell, ‘Emerging talents that we’ll be hearing a lot more from.

The course tries to allow students to produce their own work rather than something based on a formula.

It’s intense but it allows them to look into various areas of filmmaking. It’s great to see them come in with ideas and turn them into film. Naturally, I’m very proud of their achievements.’

Both Vincenzo and Mikaela are pursuing their respective careers in the film industry.

or too long, coffee has been the whipping boy of many health professionals. In response to all the naysayers who dare suggest that coffee is an evil drug that ruins your health: • According to the Coffee Science Organisation, recent studies suggest that it can be a highly beneficial elixir.

• Research has shown that a cup of coffee in the morning not only helps you to face the day ahead but it can also help prevent some forms of diabetes, Parkinson's disease, liver and colon cancer.

• It also contains antioxidants protecting your body from harmful free radicals – which sounds like a good enough reason to indulge yourself in some mocha frappacino madness action.

• Coffee can improve mental alertness and increase an individual's productivity.

• It can improve one's social life in that meeting friends and families in cafes helps lift depression.

• According to the USA National Coffee Association, coffee helps keep your mouth moist (attn. all jokers and midnight tokers) and improves handwriting.

• And last of all, it burns calories.

So enjoy a cup guilt-free.

and no one gets hurt!

The history and development of coffee is varied and interesting, involving chance occurrences, political intrigue, and the pursuit of wealth and power.

According to one story, the effect of coffee beans on behaviour was noticed by a sheep herder from Caffa Ethiopia named Kaldi as he tended his sheep. He noticed that the sheep became hyperactive after eating the red ‘cherries’ from a certain plant when they changed pastures. He tried a few himself, and was soon as overactive as his herd. The story relates that a monk happened by and scolded him for ‘partaking of the devil’s fruit.’ However the monks soon discovered that this fruit from the shiny green plant could help them stay awake for their prayers.

Another legend gives us the name for coffee or ‘mocha.’ An Arabian was banished to the desert with his

followers to die of starvation. In desperation, Omar had his friends boil and eat the fruit from an unknown plant. Not only did the broth save the exiles, but their survival was taken as a religious sign by the residents of the nearest town, Mocha. The plant and its beverage were named Mocha to honor this event.

Originally the coffee plant grew naturally in Ethiopia, but once transplanted in Arabia was monopolized by them. One early use for coffee would have little appeal today. The Galla tribe from Ethiopia used coffee, but not as a drink. They would wrap the beans in animal fat as their only source of nutrition while on raiding parties. The Turks were the first country to adopt it as a drink, often adding spices such as clove, cinnamon, cardamom and anise to the brew.

Coffee was introduced much later to countries beyond Arabia whose inhabitants believed it to be a delicacy

and guarded its secret as if they were top secret military plans.

Transportation of the plant out of the Moslem nations was forbidden by the government. The actual spread of coffee was started illegally. One Arab named Baba Budan smuggled beans to some mountains near Mysore, India, and started a farm there. Early in this century, the descendants of those original plants were found still growing fruitfully in the region.

Coffee was believed by some Christians to be the devil’s drink. Pope Vincent III heard this and decided to taste it before he banished it. He enjoyed it so much he baptized it, saying ‘coffee is so delicious it would be a pity to let the infidels have exclusive use of it.’

Coffee today is grown and enjoyed worldwide, and is one of the few crops that small farmers in third-world countries can profitably export.

A short, unsettling experience

Upbeat writer signs on for festival

Disquiet, by Julia Leigh (Hamish Hamilton RRP $29.95)

Jim Wallis (pictured right), author of the best-seller Seven Ways to Change the World, is coming to Byron.

Unlike the usual religious tub-thumpers, Wallis has a credible message. ‘We live in a deep culture of cynicism,’ he says. ‘It’s in our politics and in our churches, and we will never overcome the poverty of the south until we overcome the cynicism of the north. I am not talking about healthy scepticism here but of defeatist, resigned cynicism, which is a buffer against commitment. Acceptance of cynicism kills the energy, impetus and potential for change – change which is so desperately needed in our world today.’

Wallis has certainly impressed political activist and U2 singer Bono: ‘I had always been a sceptic of the church of personal peace and prosperity… of righteous people standing in a holy huddle while the world rages outside the stained glass. But I’ve learned that

Reviewed by Christopher Hanley Writers use your mind and their words to create a mood in a piece of fiction just as filmmakers use scenery and a camera and the actor’s dialogue to create the atmosphere they want so they can tell their story.

I would argue that the writer has a harder task and fewer tools at their disposal, but I am biased in this respect so film devotees will surely disagree. Writers and filmmakers strive to get the mood right for without the correct mood it is very hard to tell a good story.

Julia Leigh creates a mood that is dark but engaging from the first paragraph of her new novella, Disquiet.

The reader feels immediately drawn into something threatening, sad and violent.

Disquiet is a story that could have been set just as easily a century ago as today.

The time is not important.

It is about a woman and her two children who return to the family estate in France.

The woman, Olivia, has run away twelve years ago with an inappropriate man to live in Australia. She is mentally tormented and physically scarred and her children seem anaesthetised and traumatised. They walk into a bizarre and grotesque family drama that unfolds like a slow play within the novella.

The drama involves the death of a child and the central role of ‘the bundle’ in the book. You ask yourself lots of questions reading this book.

Julia Leigh, author and Festival participant.

The setting is the family chateau with its spidery secret passages. There is Ida, the old family retainer, and young twin girl servants and the matriarch, Olivia’s mother, who is old and wheelchair-bound and lives in a bedroom surrounded by cats and a floor littered with raw chicken bones.

The many large rooms are full of deer heads and game hunting trophies and unusual implements adorn the walls. The sombre mood is reinforced on every page.

There are even leaky old canoes, a stone summerhouse and a lake – ideal settings for dramatic events.

I will not ruin the book

for you by revealing the plot but the tempo is brisk and you find yourself reading quickly to see what will happen next. You also find that sometimes you need to go back and re-read a passage because there is a minute detail you have missed. The tight structure and quick tempo are two of the features of the novella.

Julia Leigh has a very distinctive atmospheric style and like The Hunter, her first novel, Disquiet is written in spare short sentences with a wonderful choice of imagery and a precise, nearly-perfect choice of words.

Throughout Disquiet, you are constantly stopping to admire images or even single words selected and placed in the perfect position in a sentence or paragraph. Lines like ‘her eyes darkened inclement’ to describe the grandmother’s mood. To write in such a controlled manner about events that seem catastrophic and out of control is evidence of great talent.

There are only 120 pages but in many ways Disquiet contains more than many of today’s fat books, so much is compressed into every page.

I do not get today’s fat books but maybe some writers are now paid by the word. Editing, a once honourable profession, has obviously disappeared and we are forced to read brick-size tomes that could often do with not just a trim but a ‘biggest loser’ size reduction.

For me, short is sweet and so many good works of fic-

tion are brief and direct and they leave you wanting more, not needing a holiday or a lie down because you have just ploughed through 785 pages!

I do not know if it is just me, but in recent years short books like Ian McEwen’s Chesil Beach, Delia Falconer’s The Lost Thoughts of Soldiers and Gabriel Marquez’s Memories of My Melancholy Whores all sit in the section of my bookshelves that is invisibly titled favourite books.

Disquiet will sit beside these other great short books.

One final word: this book has been variously called a novella and a short novel and a novel. Having trawled the net and other books in search of an answer, it seems there is certainly no exact definition of a novella. For me a short car is still a car as is a short lizard still a lizard.

Maybe some Echo readers can provide an appropriate definition.

there are many people of the cloth who are also in the world – from debt cancellation to the fight against AIDS and for human rights they are on the march. Jim Wallis isn’t just part of this movement – he’s out front carrying a bullhorn.’

Jim Wallis appears at the Byron Bay Writers Festival in two conversations in the East Marquee on the afternoon of Friday July 25. Your Festival Pass will get you into the audience for both of these events. Information and tickets on www.byronbaywritersfestival.com or Jetset Byron Bay 02 6685 6262.

Put your MS in a publisher’s lap It’s a year of firsts at the Byron Bay Writers Festival, and organisers are lifting the veil on a unique and never before offered opportunity for emerging writers.

If you know that your manuscript is a sure fire winner, has a guaranteed readership and is ready to knock the socks off a mainstream publisher if only they would read it, here’s the chance you’ve been waiting for.

On the morning of Saturday July 26 at the Byron Bay Writers Festival, publishers are lining up to fall in love with new writing. In a format reminiscent of speed dating, pre-selected writers will have fifteen minutes to pitch their book to senior publishers from Allen and Unwin, Random House, Melbourne Books, Transit Lounge and Penguin. Current financial members of the Northern Rivers Writers’ Centre will be eligible to

apply for the Pitching Sessions and ten applicants will ultimately be selected. Manuscripts offered must represent new works of adult fiction in any genre, or young adult fiction or narrative non-fiction. Unfortunately manuscripts outside these genres will not be eligible.

Submissions must include the completed application

form and a brief covering letter. Writers must provide a one page synopsis of the entire manuscript and the completed and highly polished first chapter. As per industry expectations, all work must be word-processed and double spaced on A4 paper. Submissions will not be returned, so all applicants must retain copies of their work. In all, ten applicants will be selected. In order to provide the most enjoyable and meaningful experience, the ten successful applicants will be invited to participate in a pitching workshop as preparation for the Sessions.

Applications must be received by email, post, fax or delivery to the Northern Rivers Writers’ Centre by 4pm, Tuesday July 15. Further information and application forms at www.nrwc. org.au or call 02 6685 5115 and speak with Susie.

New prize for young writers announced Together with Byron & District ADFAS and Bangalow Lions, the Writers Festival has announced ‘Heading North’, a writing competition with a $500 prize, specifically aimed at young writers. Entry is open to all aged twenty one or less, resident in the Byron, Ballina or Lismore Shires.

Festival Director Jeni Caffin said, ‘This is a valuable opportunity for the brightest and newest talents of our region to put their imaginations to work and apply their

creative writing skills to a professional format.’

ADFAS and Bangalow Lions have have sponsored a Friday afternoon session at the Festival with the theme ‘And the winner is: the young lions of literature.’

The session features new stars of Australian literature and will conclude with Shirley Nelson from ADFAS naming the winner of the inaugural Heading North competition.

The closing date for applications is Tuesday July 15.

You will need the Heading North application form and a killer story. And here’s the thing: your story must be a maximum of 1,000 words and there is a mandatory signature item. Your story must include reference to a shell, in any interpretation of the word. No shell, no prize.

Naturally, it must never have been published nor been awarded a prize.

Just hung up the phone, and yes Jeff Lang can sure speak. With rapid fire and thoughtful responses, he is a seasoned pro musician that is perhaps an endangered species in 21st century Australia. He lives either on the road or in the studio – his early childhood set him up for a life on the road. ‘I moved around NSW and Victoria a lot as a kid,’ and happily admits to living from his van in his ‘supposed’ adult life.

Half Seas Over is his 14th record. He has toured for over 18 years, and his duo show with bassist Grant Cummerford has taken him all over Australia in recent months.

‘At the moment I am in Melbourne and have been working on an album for a band called The Hall Runners – it’s a family affair as my sister and wife are in it. The style would be country Americana. Also this week I have been recording songwriter Jordie Lane.’

Yup this guy is damn busy. A quick list of tours on his website reveals an itinerary of dates and venues all jammed tight. Next month he is off to Europe.

‘In the last month we’ve been to Tassie, Adelaide, Perth and now Bangalow this Saturday.’

So what’s in Jeff’s ears?

‘Bob Dylan, Ry Cooder, Led Zep AC DC… lately I have been into Richard Thompson and Tom Waits.

My dad and mum were fans of Dylan – it was always playing on car trips, so it’s like the soundtrack of my life.

About music? dependent artist, I started ‘As an independent e ignorant, and wanted out a little to make music that I wanted to dn’t come from wanting a hear. It didn’t eal or being popular. I love record deal writing music because each time you hear it, it opens up imagery, is ever changing h i and d is i a different diff experience for every individual.

When I write I am aiming for a mood, and am trying to paint a movie for the mind.’

On songwriting, Jeff doesn’t reflect on his road experiences.

‘I live my life, and don’t generally write about it. I wait until stories unearth the song.’

Wrapping up I thank him and wish him well on the Bangalow gig.

‘Cheers, that was great – at least you didn’t ask what strings I use.’

Well alright here it is: ‘Jeff Lang uses GHS strings exclusively.’

Jeff Lang will be performing at the Bangalow Catholic Hall on Saturday June 28, with support by Kara Grainger.

Tickets are $22 at the door only. Doors open at 7.30pm for show at 8pm. Great food at the show by Coffee Oasis.

Is nostalgia the enemy of art?

It’s impossible to recreate a past you weren’t in. If you weren’t there, and you only view through a window like books, paintings and poetry etc. then that is living in the past. Nostalgia is different from tradition, which is not the enemy of art.’

The Soapbox Mandy Nolan

After the fracas following the ludicrous Iguana-gate scandal where Labor back bencher Belinda Neal had a bit of verbal argie bargie with staff at a Central Coast bar I recalled my own experience as a waitress and the year I spent in an Italian restaurant in Canberra waiting on politicians and journalists. Quite frankly, they were pigs. Of course I shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t generalise, not all of them, just most of them. They were the middle aged poster children for binge drinking. I had never seen alcohol consumed in such quantities. It was like a casting call for an AA meeting. No one wanted to wait on the journos. A lunch booking meant that they wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be leaving until at least 8pm that evening and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be running food and booze and ashtrays all the while having the delightful pleasure of listening to their loud pompous drivel. What made it worse was that they rarely tipped. Most restaurant patrons who have overstayed service have a sensitivity to the staff, ďŹ nish up, leave $50 for the inconvenience and move on. Not these guys.

They were happiest in an empty restaurant where staff were at their beck and call, like an eager underclass whose sole life purpose was to ferry

MY YEAR IN WAITING chardonnay to tossers. I was only 21 at the time, and ironically I had just left university where I had been studying journalism.

The faces and voices I had held in esteem drifted through my restaurant, and more often than not, you got to see them deteriorate over a period of hours, witnessing the conversation turn from boasts as to which pollie they had the ear of to the hottest rumour around parliament, which front bencher was screwing their press secretary, who liked to defecate on glass coffee tables, to their own shitty life, the wife that had left them, the house they had lost, the children they never saw and the dreams they never would fulďŹ ll. On a particular day one of these aforementioned patrons got hideously pissed and deconstructed as they all do. He had a little more of a nasty streak than the usual suspects, a kind of menacing superiority which was magniďŹ ed by booze. He was the kind of man that you would imagine liked to ďŹ nish the day by going home and punching his wife.

It came time to leave the restaurant. All the staff bar the kitchen hand had gone home. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remember his name, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s call him Mr Dickhead, he and his party had been lunching for over 10 hours. All the evening diners had left. It was my job to get the sloshed suits out the door. Mr Dickhead called me to the table and told me that he would be paying. It was well over $800 which was a lot even 20 years ago.

Dickhead decided that I

should ďŹ nd his wallet. It would be a game. I had to guess which pocket and reach inside. Of course it was in his pants. He made me slip my hand into his pocket, only millimetres from his ďŹ&#x201A;accid inebriated cock and remove his bill fold. I placed it on the table. He smirked. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;But you have to get the money outâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. I felt like a hooker. His friends were in hysterics. I felt like crying, or kicking him in the balls, but I was outnumbered and desperate for him to leave. I put a ďŹ fty on the table and he barked â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;count it outâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Which I did. When he reached the amount he held his hand up signalling for me to stop.

He called for change to make the bill to the exact ďŹ gure. Then he counted out a $2 tip in 20 cent pieces. It was demeaning.

I could feel that burning lump in my throat and my mouth started that twitching it does when you are about to lose it.

I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand why anyone would be so mean. Particularly to someone working their butt off on a minimum wage. I still donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. I despise people who treat restaurant or cafe staff with disdain, or bark orders, like the mere fact their fat arse is on the seat buys them the privilege to be rude. My Dickhead did get an instant whack with the Karma stick. As I was walking home I noticed a driver being removed from his vehicle and taken to a police car. It was Mr Dickhead. Oh the joy, I waved for his attention and yelled â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Have a good night. See you next time.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I never did.

Live Music DUCK RADIO ALBUM LAUNCH They are Duck Radio and these young men aged 14 to 15, are the offspring of long time locals, including some with international musical pedigree. Jacob ZinmanJeanes, Marley BerryPearce, Matt Lodge and Hugo Hayes play all originals and their sound has been likened to a cross between Cat Empire and The Doors.

Having played Lismoreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Carols by Candlelightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to an audience of thousands, and a self-promoted gig at Newrybar Hall earlier this year, the band have decided to record a debut album, Our Hierarchy with well-known local musician and producer/ dad Steve Berry. Cover art for the CD is designed by Jacob.

A CD is included in the $17 door charge or $10 without CD. The album is all original songs and will be released on Saturday at the Ewingsdale Hall. Contact 6684 7827 or 6684 4816 for info and tickets. They are keen to offer a different cultural experience to their peers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; this is a no alcohol youth event â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with a very good review from JJJ Unearthed, this should be a good gig.

GYPSY FLAMENCO Gypsy Flamenco is an art form that uses voice, guitar, hand-clapping, percussion and dance to create an eruption of emotion, passion, pathos, joy and rebellion.

The driving dynamic rythms of Gypsy Flamenco can be experienced at the Sueno Flamenco Club RSL Hall Bangalow on Saturday at 7.30pm. Presented by local group Sueno Flamenco and featuring special guests from the North Coast Flamenco crew, organisers hope this will become a regular event.

y the under 16 years Circus by Arts classes. On Thursday 3 July the kinder session for 1 to 4 year olds (11.30am) and pre-circus class for 4 to 5 years (10.30am) will feature birthday accessories such as streamers and party hats.

Vocalist and songwriter Arianne Schreiber will be performing solo at Decolletage this Saturday.

It is a rare occasion to see her sing in the Shire, as she seems to be working and performing overseas while she’s become a local in the Bay. Currently in England, Arianne is singing with iCON and Alabama 3 applying her vocals to rock, country, pop and ballads showing flexibility and skill. Her voice reminds me of a smokier and more girly version of Goldfrappe’s perhaps, projecting plenty of sass and getting lyrical content across with poignancy and conviction.

Arianne has worked with George Michael, X Lover, Loose Headz, Man Child, Sugarbabes and hold it…

Kylie Minogue. When asked who she chooses to sing for she replies unpretentiously, ‘I work with pretty much anyone who wants to work with me, I just love music.’

Q: Are you working on any other projects locally?

A: ‘Not really locally in Byron, but in London I’m always doing quite a few tracks.

Unfortunately people are a bit sleepy in Byron; I wish I could collaborate more.’

Arianne is billed as iCON at the Byron Community Centre and will perform her own piece as part of a curious and wonderful cast at this 21st century ball that reminisces and mocks 18th century mannerisms and fashion.

Q: In a night of filthy chatter, decadent performances and electro glam rock, how are you going to fit in?

A: ‘Well I always aim to

add a bit of environmental philosophy, and talk about the universe and how it’s all changing, without being too full on and weird, but I do like to make the point that we need to look at sustainable energy.’

Q: What is Decolletage to you?

A: ‘It’s a wild night of creativity, experimentation and costumes.’

Q: Who should go to Decolletage?

A: ‘Anyone who wants to be inspired.’

Q: How should one prepare for Decolletage?

A: ‘Get your costumes out, think 18th century and come out and play; support something new, creative and daring, and hope for the future.’

LIQUID It’s ‘Kulture’ on Thursday with plenty of acidophilus from Dave C, Foxxy and Captain Kaine. ‘Electro Funk’ on Friday with Goodie, Dave Gravy and Kirk Austin and ‘House of Now’ played without ego by DJ Ego, Strawberry Syme, Brian and Sean Candy.

STARS

WITH LILITH AFTER THE MIDWINTER SOLSTICE’S SHORTEST DAY AND LONGEST NIGHT, THIS WEEK’S DESIGNED FOR EARTHLINGS TO REST AND NEST. AND WITH CANCERIAN INFLUENCES ASCENDANT, THERE’S REALLY NO PLACE LIKE HOME… ARIES: Home, relatives and family are big on this week’s agenda. Thursday/Friday’s Aries Moon could bring a sudden revelation or surprising turnaround in your thinking – an outside wakeup call or inner realisation that what you thought you wanted might not actually be worth having.

TAURUS: While security blankets, creature comforts, domestic pleasures and the call of the couch are magnetically compelling, there’s still no escape from this week’s midyear stocktake: the internal search for what it’s time to let go of, and what’s most appropriate to take its place.

GEMINI: If anyone views change as opportunity it’s you Geminis, and this week’s synchronicities, coincidences, chance meetings and happy accidents could see you revising your plans, undergoing a radical makeover of style, attitude or workplace arrangements – even heading in a whole new direction.

CANCER: Happy birthday Crab crue! And after a shaky start the first week of your birthday month morphs into a warm, caring, sharing scenario in which you’ll gradually feel more at ease with yourself and others – though it may take a major emotional workout to get there.

LEO: This week some things could fall apart spectacularly while others just magically slide into place like the final jigsaw piece. Stay open to an unusual offer from an unexpected quarter – an unconventional, controversial, even outrageous idea that

with your input might just work.

VIRGO: Driving yourself hard and fast isn’t healthy or kind, and winter solstice week traditionally takes a break for introspective assessment.

Though that doesn’t mean playing lone ranger. Let others help: they won’t do things the way Virgos would, but do you want to spend life in solitary confinement?

LIBRA: A week of people behaving unexpectedly: some generous and understanding, others pushing your buttons like nobody’s business. You might have to adjust to an unusual occurrence or sudden shift in circumstances – a change of direction, job, house, partner, heart or mind.

SCORPIO: Everything mightn’t be going your way, but winter solstice week is time to consider all the things that are. While the chatfest of recent weeks barely affected you enigmatic Scorps, this week’s planets in a fellow water sign will. Speak from the heart and you can’t go wrong.

SAGITTARIUS: If something you thought solid turns out not to be, Sagittarians’ best cure for difficulties, disappointments or discord is always the great outdoors, so treat yourself to a change of scenery. This week unhealthy expansion – overconsumption, overspending, overcommitting – is likely to cause problems.

CAPRICORN: Winter solstice week is the year’s midpoint and time to review your performance so far. Are you on track? Is anything holding you back? Are you really making the contribution you came here to make at this time? What course corrections would be most beneficial?

AQUARIUS: This week’s destabilizing influences could have you wanting to break free, and right now a new direction’s possible. Kick start it by cleaning out your drawers, getting rid of junk, enrolling in a new course, booking a ticket, making that call, making a commitment…

PISCES: This week swings between cosily sympatico and your ideas colliding with others not on the same page, the same wave length, seemingly even the same planet. If unexpected news or sudden shifts pull the rug out from under you, then it’s time to start dancing…

Are there any limits to Magnus Carlsen’s rise and rise?

After his dominant victory in the elite Aerosvit tournament in Foros, the Ukraine, the shy 17-year-old from Norway should on July 1 take over the world number two ranking, just six points – or a couple of wins – away from Viswanthan Anand’s number one position.

Carlsen, who was ranked 13th at the start of the year, has enjoyed an uninterrupted string of successes in 2008, with victories in Wijk aan Zee, the Baku World Cup tournament and now Foros. Only

in Linares, the Wimbledon of chess, was Carlsen pushed into second place by Anand.

Carlsen celebrated his Foros victory with a pizza with his father and the Norwegian television crew who had arrived once Carlsen’s giant-killing feats exceeded even his home fans’ expectations.

As a result of his start-tofinish victory in Foros this week, Carlsen should become the youngest player in history to reach the world number two ranking although, owing to the world body FIDE’s convoluted and multiple World Championship qualifying systems, it will be late 2010 at the earliest before Carlsen has a chance to play for the World Championship title.

Carlsen’s extraordinary rise also means that, for the first time in almost 40 years, the top two ranked players in the

world will be players not born in Eastern Europe.

Around 1970, Bobby Fischer and the great Dane Bent Larsen were the dominant tournament players of the era but the decades before and after belonged to grandmasters who received their chess education in the old Soviet Union and its neighbours.

Now Carlsen has shown that a country without a chess tradition can produce a worldbeating talent, which should inspire youngsters from all parts of the globe.

Of course Carlsen benefited from a Norwegian Institute of Sport chess program, designed in Australia but never implemented here. However, raw talent – the x-factor which produces prodigies in chess, mathematics and music – is the essential ingredient which has underpinned Carlsen’s

Foros 2008 White: L-D Nisipeanu Black: M Carlsen Opening: Sicilian Dragon 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 g6!? 6.Be2 Nisipeanu goes for a quiet life. The Yugoslav Attack – where White castles queenside – is considered more dangerous for Black.

6...Bg7 7.0-0 Nc6 8.Nb3 0-0 9.Kh1 a6 10.f4 b5 11.Bf3 Bb7 12.a4?! b4 13.Nd5 Nxd5 14.exd5 Na5 15.c3?

Nisipeanu is playing on the wrong side of the board, hoping that Carlsen will grab a pawn and hand over the initiative. However the teenager simply leaves White defending his weak pawns.

15...bxc3 16.bxc3 Rc8! 17.Rb1 Ba8 18.Nd2 Nc4 19.Nxc4 Rxc4 20.Bd2 Qa5 21.Qe1 Bxd5! 22.Be2 Qxa4!

23.Bxc4 Bxc4 Suddenly Black has total control, and Nisipeanu, already short of time, quickly goes downhill.

go to the US and follow his dream of becoming a hairdresser. He falls in love with an Arab girl and eventually must confront again his misunderstood jihadist nemesis. The story in itself need not necessarily be ridiculous, but it is the inanity with which it is YOU DON’T MESS pursued that makes you start WITH THE ZOHAN clock watching and gazing Ordinarily, it is only decent to longingly at the exit sign cut a film some slack when after about twelve minutes. its intention is indisputably Sandler’s comic approach is honourable. The aim here the same as that of the kid in is to bring together through the playground who is most humour those entrenched willing to act the complete antagonists, the Palestinians goose to get a laugh, and and the Israelis. But if you can even then bullying you into appreciate why the hammer it (how did he ever pull off is alternatively known as ‘the his impressive serious turn American screwdriver’ you in Reign Over Me?). There will have some inkling of are two running jokes, the wit and subtlety that has and they are repeated ad gone into the latest Adam nauseum. The first concerns Sandler showpiece. Indeed, Zohan’s huge dick and if peace in the Middle East voracious sexual appetite, were only to be achieved by which is satisfied by an ever sitting through spoofs such lengthening queue of elderly as this then you’d be tempted patrons at the salon where to opt for the far more funny he works, while the other exploits of Hezbollah and has to do with his love of Mossad.

more than a walking talking codpiece with a camp ‘oi gevalt’ accent. John Turturro, presenting himself before Mariah Cariah with an eye popping erection (she is fairly bursting out of a hot pink singlet dress), tries to muscle in on the oafishness, but the star turn plays him off a break. You can’t help thinking that Sandler honestly believes that his relentless vulgarity is iconoclastic, but for mine, he appeals to the most base and undeveloped sensibility.

Suffice to say that, though there is the vague possibility that it ends up having a dig at its natural audience, this is an insufferably and loathesomely stupid movie. ~ John Campbell

LARS AND THE REAL GIRL Suspension of disbelief is the essential ingredient in any movie, especially when it deviates from a world of everyday normalcy.

Lars lives in a wintery midwestern town of church going Lutherans, a town not a million miles from Juno’s in temper and pace of life.

An introverted young man employed as a clerk in a dreary office, he occupies a granny flat at the back of the house he co-owns with his elder brother Gus and wife Karin. His loneliness leads him to purchasing a mannequin, Bianca, who becomes his constant companion. To him she is real FULLY AIR-CONDITIONED EVERY WEDNESDAY ALL SEATS ALL SESSIONS $8 ONLY

(the connection with Norman Bates lurks in the shadows) and he courts her publicly, unknowingly challenging the entire community to accept the bizarre notion that Bianca is one of them.

Ryan Gosling, last seen as a narcissistic lawyer in Fracture (2007) is, as Lars, initially at a disadvantage, with the wardrobe department overstating the character’s social awkwardness – he wears a tie indoors under a too small Fair Isle jumper, his flies are at half mast – promoting the fear that the actor might not break free of the restrictions imposed by being a visual caricature.

But he overcomes this with a performance of stunning virtuosity and subtlety. Aiding and abetting him (for it is Gosling’s movie) is a faultless cast with, in a role almost as difficult, Paul Schneider outstanding as the brother coming to terms with the degree of responsibility he must shoulder for Lars’s troubled psychology. Kelly Garner as Margo, the fellow office worker and chorister who has a crush on Lars, is a bit twee, but loveable too.

In fact, the whole film is like that – you are tempted at any given moment to dismiss it as silly, but somehow it doesn’t let go. The humour is benign and never takes a cheap shot at Lars’s condition (what a fiasco it would have become in the hands of Adam Sandler) and for this Nancy Oliver, a regular writer of TV’s acclaimed Six Feet Under, cannot be too highly praised.

The solitary Lars is redeemed by friendship (‘it shall prove warm to the spirit when the body is cold,’ Ecclesiastes said), and so, you feel, are all those who embraced him and Bianca. A female companion thought it emotionally overwhelming, but I found it less so. Still, it manages an unforced poignancy that denies its periods of dullness and the sometimes strained set up. ~ John Campbell

INDIANA JONES and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull opens in cinemas nineteen years after

the last instalment Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade.

And the news is that it’s pretty much all good. The film opens breathlessly in the midfifties, with a now slightly (but not distractingly) aged Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford who slips back into character with surprising ease) captured by a cadre of Russian soldiers.

Led by scientist Irina Spalko (Cate Blanchett), they’re after an artifact that will give them unlimited power in their Cold War battle with the US. The

action sequences, which take up much of the film, are dazzling in their execution; the story hangs together nicely; the references to 1950s Cold War paranoia are funny and well delivered, like when Indy finds himself trapped on a nuclear test site; and the interplay between Indiana Jones and Marion Ravenwood (Karen Allen) from Raiders Of The Lost Ark, is great. The film is fun, entertaining and genuinely amusing. ~ Ross Goode

Sounding effortlessly Spanish, in fact â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not surprising given the seven years she, husband Hans and her two sisters ran a bar in Barcelona.

Maria and Hans took over the Wildbite business some three years ago; at the time of meeting her I had resolved to ďŹ nd out more about the Barcelona period of her life. The bottle of wine we agreed then to share has yet to happen â&#x20AC;&#x201C; inexcusable given we live a couple of houses away from each other â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but it still might.

Meanwhile Maria is dragging the outdoors table into a patch of sunshine out the front of the little factory at the Byron Arts and Industry Estate â&#x20AC;&#x201C; biscotti perfuming the air â&#x20AC;&#x201C; so that we may chat more comfortably.

And so was launched Kasparo, a small bar just off Los Ramblos, centrally located in a little square â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a bar which soon came to be known as The Three Sistersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Bar. They started out continuing to serve a similar tapas menu to what their predecessors had offered, gradually evolving their own particular style, and ending up with a simple blackboard menu which just offered soup, pasta and hotpot of the day. Always a pumping venue, Kasparo, in Mariaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s words, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;went ballisticâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, being popular not only with ex-pats but also with a solid core of locals. Everything was fresh and home-made and they all had their speciďŹ c roles, Hans tiring of the kitchen and doing front-of-house while Maria and one sister cooked and the other sister (â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;the organised oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;) sorted out rosters and generally ran the show.

They stuck it out for seven years. After the second year, a vast learning curve, things Maria, originally a Melbourne girl, had fallen became a lot easier and they were able to in love with Barcelona when she went to whittle their respective hours down to four visit her sister Betta â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Betta having some days a week, whip off on escapades, time previously married a Catalan and unwind at the huge house by the sea they moved there.

Maria laughs as an upbringing in her own country. And her she recounts her complete lack of mother was getting old. experience in the hospitality industry (she was in fact a trained nurse), and with what So back to Byron they came, and the Wildbite business became available.

Sports Roundup with Eve Jeffery

A lesson for life in the house of the rising sons John Campbell

‘Their manners are decorous and praiseworthy.’

So reported Christopher Columbus to Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain after the great navigator had encountered los Indios of San Salvador.

But this is 2008, not 1492, and (with freedom of speech under the pump from pinheaded thought police) we’d now condemn it as condescending in the extreme to say such a thing of any culture. Nonetheless, that is the most endearing and lasting impression made on an Australian in Japan.

As immediately recognisable for all of its Western ways, the society is also unknowable in its everyday formalities and rituals.

Trying to understand a people through the observance of them at play can too easily be undone by a tendency to simplify and romanticise, or misinterpret altogether. At the very instant that you arrive at the conclusion that calmness and selfcontrol are the defining characteristics of the Japanese, a knife-wielding businessman, for no apparent reason, starts stabbing passers-by on the street, or a

strung out teenage cyber junkie, in his lunatic alienation, pushes total strangers under the wheels of an oncoming train in the crowded metro (there has been a spate of this).

Japan is home to myriad forms of martial art. What they all have in common is the unstated but inculcated credo that the manner in which something is done is as important as the deed itself.

That respect must be shown to be earned. The lesson was obviously never taught to the

likes of Nick D’Arcy and a swag of our footballers.

It’s a philosophy which imbues a way of life, though there are dispiriting signs that it is being white-anted by the West’s cult of indulgent individualism. On the last day of competition at the recently completed Emperor’s Cup (for sumo), two of the highest ranking wrestlers needed to be admonished by the governing body for going on with it after the bell. That sort of thing is just not done and the loss of face for both

men was inestimable.

No such petulance was displayed at Kyoto’s beautiful Butokuden when I happened upon it. Designed along the same classic lines as the magnificent timber shrines and temples which surround the ancient capital, it was purpose built in 1900 as a centre for the development of the skills of young men and boys in the fields of budo, judo, jujitsu, aikido et al.

RUGBY LEAGUE – NRRRL

were lined up to receive a ceremonial greeting from a stern looking old man who, notwithstanding his advanced years, looked like he could still show the whippersnappers a thing or two.

They all bowed as one then, with that over, made an excited rush to the notice boards to see whom they would be up against today.

In a corner, schoolgirls in plaid skirts resumed their gossiping and giggling, eyeing their fancies and constantly texting.

Each pair of combatants bowed to each other before getting stuck into it, closely watched by a referee and two seated judges. One of them casually checked his mobile for messages while a couple of dishevelled contestants were getting their outfits shipshape for the next few moments of thrashing and grappling. To my eye it looked formless and it was hard to tell who might be doing better. Unlike in boxing, the vanquished does not tumble glass-eyed to the canvas on the end of a hammering left hook.

The same aggression is there, the same Darwinian competitiveness, and what I was able to discern was that

the little bloke, about forty kilos wringing wet, was a terrier who simply refused to be put away by his heavier adversary. I couldn’t help quietly barracking for him and, standing on the apron of the square, his peers warmed to him too, clapping enthusiastically whenever he escaped the other fellow’s clutches and cheering encouragement if he mounted a counter attack.

Suddenly, with a ‘hai!’ and a nifty two-step, he hoiked his opponent over his hip.

The big fella’s transit described a perfect parabola before he hit the deck with a hurtful thud, the manouvre being received with appreciative yelps. I was tempted to add to the uproar – ‘onya Tojo!’ seemed appropriate – but, as a stranger in a strange land, I thought better of it.

That’s one of the things that Japan does – it makes you consider your actions.

Too soon it was time to go, but after sitting cross-legged for an hour on the tatami matting my left leg was as dead as a doornail. I lurched to my feet, took one step and went down again like a ton of spuds. Not a graceful exit.

I wonder what they’ve got against chairs?

Magpies gracious in defeat

The mighty Byron Magpies Junior AFL U14 team copped the second defeat of the season at the hands of a motivated Lismore team last Sunday at Shultz Oval. During the first half it looked to be going the Magpies’ way, but the Swans came back hard in the second half to defeat Byron 59 to 44. As usual with the Byron side, it was a great, determined game, but that’s the beauty of AFL – things can change quickly. The Magpies, who are still second on the ladder, were gracious in congratulating the Swans and RUGBY UNION – Moonshiners Last week: Casino 14 d Moonshiners still hade enough in the tank to ham it up for the camera.

Sports Roundup with Eve Jeffery While the Socceroos fell to China…

Brunswick Valley Soccer Fine weather on Saturday saw all grades drawn at home for only the second time this season. The seconds got the day off to a good start with a solid 2-0 win over Kyogle.

Early pressure resulted in an unstoppable near post header from Ryan Gray to put Valley in the driving seat.

Playmaker Adam Goodhand ran amok in the middle as Valley continued to attack with purpose and it was not long until Tim Maclean doubled the lead with a long range effort.

Kyogle defended well for the rest of the game and even managed a late attacking rally, but it was too little too late for the visitors. The sixths faced an uphill battle against top of the table South Lismore, but got stuck in and were unlucky to go down 1-0. Valley defended well in the early stages, with magnificent performances at the back from Jono Hughes and Alex Martin.

Souths got lucky with a shot that went in off the woodwork, but the home side would not give up. The second half was all Valley as the visitors got everyone behind the ball to try to hang onto their narrow lead.

Russel Comisari was desperately unlucky when his free kick from the edge of the box was touched onto the bar by the keeper. The fourths fared a great deal better when they also took on Souths in the late game.

A superb hat trick from youngster Keanu Baker and another two from old hand Ray Musgrave made it 5-0 to Valley, much to the delight of an enthusiastic home crowd that included a number of former players.

Rams The Rams Premier and Premier Reserve teams both travelled to Lismore. The Reserves came away 3 -1 winners losers to the Thistles due to a hampered team of mish mashed late changes to the lineup. After a well played first half, the Rams relinquished the second of three goals only moments after the break. Nick scored to bring the tally to 2-1, but the Thistles slammed home a third to seal the game.

Disappointment again for the Premiers who failed to convert great play into a win.

Both sides put up a determined fight and the scores were an even nil all until right on half time when the Thistles were awarded a corner and scored, the game went into the break 1-0.

Mark Shepherd made some line-up changes, and the Rams looked like a

gap left by Christie, got the try that sent the Giants on the rampage.

Admittedly, through a sin binning and a send-off, the Seagulls were also one down for most of the second stanza, but they might not have coped with the Giants had they had fourteen on board.

Fate decreed that Oxley would go over himself and when his moment came it brought the house down.

The big bloke stormed on to a pass from twenty metres out with the sole intention of not stopping until he’d crossed the line. When his run ended, under the posts in front of an erupting clubhouse, the Giants were as good as home.

Ballina’s miserable trudge back to halfway threatened to last until nightfall. They looked like also-rans, whereas Mullum ... well, they’ve got a title to defend and a tough assignment at Kyogle next Sunday.

News Extra Rainforest Rescue scores a tenth property

Kelvin Davies at the Rainforest Rescue Nature Refuge.

Rainforest Rescue, the Mullumbimby-based conservation organisation, has purchased a tenth property in their ‘Daintree Buy Back and Protect Forever’ project.

This is extremely good news for the critically endangered Southern Cassowary.

It prevents another housing development with all its associated dangers – dogs, loss of corridors, traffic and road kills – from destroying the delicately balanced habitat of this ‘keystone’ species of the rainforest.

This recently purchased property is essential habitat for this fabulous big bird, whose numbers are far fewer than the already low previous estimates.

In announcing this major step forward, Executive Officer of RR, Kelvin Davies, was especially proud that it has been achieved without any government funding. He said, ‘It’s a significant achievement for community conservation, proving that donations from individuals

and businesses make a big difference.’

Rainforest Rescue is now on the verge of buying an eleventh property. Property No.11 is located less than a kilometre away and is just as critical for Cassowaries and other rare and endangered species, like the Bennetts Tree Kangaroo. It will provide a vital corridor through the rural subdivision.

Davies said, ‘We only need to raise $85,000 to complete the purchase of this next vital property – such a small amount to preserve, forever, another slice of the irreplaceable Daintree. We call upon concerned Australians to contribute to this campaign.

The current owner is committed to conservation and is offering the lot to Rainforest Rescue at less than market value.’

Anyone interested in making a tax-deductible donation can call 6684 4360 or go to www.rainforestrescue.org. au or contact Kelvin Davies at kelvin@rainforestrescue. org.au.

Training for Indigenous bus drivers Indigenous people on the Far North Coast can now train at the Lismore Community College to get their bus licence. The initiative should see increased numbers of qualified bus drivers in communities that are in need of improved transport facilities.

According to Indigenous facilitator at Lismore Community College, Jesse Wone, ‘There is a real need for licensed bus drivers in isolated areas where there is no regular, affordable public transport to take the elderly, young and infirmed to activities that many of us take for granted.’

So is grafďŹ ti a problem? And if it is, should Council ďŹ x it?

Local businessman Sagaro answers yes to both questions in an open message to Council requesting a cleanup of Mullumbimbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s old North Power building and the disused Chincogan Hotel. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;What sort of message are we, as a community, giving our young children by letting these offensive images stay visible for this long?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; he asks. A message that keeping grafďŹ ti cleaned up is like balancing a mattress on a bottle of wine, probably.

Q Q Q Q Talking of the Chinni, which has some attractive grafďŹ ti on its walls as well as the nasty sort, there is no substance to the rumour that it has been bought by Coles.

Their spokesman categorically denies it. The other rumour, that it has been bought by local chemist Craig Watson, we cannot conďŹ rm as Craig coyly wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t return our calls.

Q Q Q Q Looks like Council is going to need that rate rise beseeched from the local government minister last week. Everyone has their own horror story of infra-

structure failing, but two problems easily ďŹ xed with funding come to mind. In Bangalow the Council carpark has no lighting, which makes it dangerous to negotiate on foot at night (even more so for women). And in Federal parents driving to the Community Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Centre, which is on property leased from the Council, suffer a daily nightmare of potholed driveway and swampy carpark.

Q Q Q Q Judging by the media statements we have received since Frank Sartorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s planning legislation passed last week, developers are cock-a-hoop.

One release is headed â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Key users of the planning system rejoiceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; as if the rest of us are second-class citizens, and certainly not â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;keyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Given the extraordinary outcry by ordinary citizens against the legislation, it is sad that laws should be made for the advantage of a few against the interests of the many.The campaign to have the legislation referred to a committee of inquiry was defeated by votes for the government from the two Shootersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Party nonentities (there was an immediate payback in relaxation of gun laws) and the notorious Rev Fred Nile.

Q Q Q Q Talking about bigots, as the NSW Liberal Party has made itself unelectable by surrendering to religious extremists, the people may have to look to a federal intervention to save them from the triumvirate of Iemma, Sartor and Costa.

Just like the original Roman three-man band, they are ruthlessly destroying traditional civic checks and balances. In the meantime, brace for the results of our planning laws being flattened for the beneďŹ t of big business.
