Festival buoyed by wave of words Jann Gilbert With the weather threatening a deluge of tsunami proportions on the opening day of this year’s Writers Festival the subtitle of the event was looking suspiciously like an ominous and cruel irony. But, like the soothing power of the word, the arrival of sunshine on Saturday evaporated the fears and misgivings of the previous day along with much of the water. (And the eight truckloads of gravel were also very helpful, along with the pumps provided by the Splendour crew.) Watery nightmares aside, armed with gumboots or other sensible shoes, jackets, scarves, and (in many cases) lavish doses of red lippy, festival goers surrendered to the waves of words (and laughter) that rolled across the weekend.

Words, as one panellist in ‘The Idol, the icon and the iconoclast’ session put it, carry the power of stories and, from the opening night speeches to the ďŹ nal session, that power was palpable. Whether it was pondering popular culture with the likes of Danny Katz or life on the big and little screen with William McInnes, Bruce Beresford and David Stratton, it was the stories that people came to hear. Stories of the second novel syndrome and where ideas come from, truth and ďŹ ction, putting yourself on the page, black and white Australia, genre, drama, comedy, the road, music, performance and, ultimately, the human experience that informs a writer’s work. And it’s perhaps this human experience, in any of its guises of

song, performance, drama or comedy, that continues to attract and gratify audiences each year. Writing in any form is testament to both our individuality and our commonality. It’s open to unique interpretation by writer and reader/ viewer but, paradoxically, can evoke a sea of emotions and empathy on a mass scale. Well crafted, it has the power to move us to laughter and to tears. ‘Shakespeare’s glove,’ as Bryan Dawe eloquently reminded us is ‘one glove with two sides. Humour doesn’t work without drama, and drama doesn’t work without humour.’ Like any well-crafted script, the 2008 Writers Festival will be fondly remembered for both. ■For many more Writers Festival photos go to www.echo.net.au.

Planners recommend approval for Splendour event at Yelgun site Michael McDonald Byron Shire Council planners have recommended approval of a development application for the Splendour in the Grass festival to be held at the North Byron Shire Parklands Yelgun site in August 2009. Councillors are due to consider the DA at an extraordinary meeting this Thursday at 1pm. Many residents in the north of the Shire and local environmental

groups have opposed the development of the Yelgun site as a festival venue. Council’s planners have recommended approval on the basis the Splendour festival is ‘a single event only‌ The applicant intends to conduct the event as a one off “trialâ€? so as to determine the capability of the site and the surrounding area for the proposed future use of the site.’ The sticking point for opponents

is that the proposed infrastructure for the festival, including roadworks, seems to be of a permanent nature. The festival is intended to run from Friday July 31 until Monday August 3 inclusive. The DA proposes having 7,500 campers on site and a maximum of 15,000 extra patrons each day. In a press release last Monday the Byron Ratepayers Association

said. ‘Council’s actions in listing the Splendour DA decision for the extraordinary general meeting‌ is cynical at best and likely to lead to a formal complaint to ICAC,’ said the Byron Ratepayers Association. ‘To expect the extensive number of objectors to plough through 130 pages of the planning report in three working days is outrageous,’ said Dr Norm Sanders, Vice Chair of BRA. ‘Council’s letter of advice

contains an incorrect link to the report. A quick look at the report indicates that the RTA agrees that the trafďŹ c to the proposed megafestival in 2009 should go along Brunswick Valley Way. In other words blocking off all access to Ocean Shores, South Golden Beach, and suburbs to the north of the Shire. Council’s report fails to document the relevant comments continued on page 2

ALP announces team for Council poll The Byron Bay and Mullumbimby Brunswick Valley branches of the Labor Party have announced their team for the Council election on September 13. The team includes Cr Bob Tardif and his wife Maggie, Jill Ball and Rosalie Bryant. In a press release last Monday the branches said the beneďŹ t to the community of a Labor presence on Council ‘has been clearly demonstrated with the election [in 2004] of Cr Ray Kestle who has used his corporate experience and party and government connections to achieve grant funding opportunities and further their understanding of the community needs in the Shire. In particular, Ray’s involvement with the Mullumbimby Civic Hall rebuild and numerous projects in Bangalow come to mind.

‘The new team led by Cr Bob Tardif will carry on with the positive approach and understanding that Ray has established between the

community, Council and other levels of government.’ ■Election letters, more news and comment can be found on pages 18-19

ing the help of the community in identifying vandals responsible for the recent destruction of approximately one kilometre of Dunecare fencing running from MainBeach to Clarkes Beach, Byron Bay. Council’s Manager of Open Space and Recreation, Nigel Greenup has appealed to the community to assist Council in identifying those people responsible for this senseless attack on community property. ‘Over a kilometre of wire fencing aimed at allowing dunal vegetation to establish has been damaged,’ Mr Greenup said. ‘It appears as though the wire has been attacked with a large knife or machete, and it has been cut in numerous locations, making repairs extremely difďŹ cult. ‘The fencing was undertaken as a cooperative pro-

Council and the volunteers of the Green and Clean Team. It is disappointing to see the efforts of caring community members destroyed by others who obviously don’t care.’ The estimated cost of repairs to the fencing is in excess of $1000, and will take many hours of work by Council and volunteers to replace. ‘This is a needless cost that Council and the community can ill afford,’ Mr Greenup said. Council encourages anyone who witnesses vandalism to community property to report the matter immediately to either Byron Shire Council or the police to allow appropriate action to be taken. Please contact Nigel Greenup, Manager, Open Spaces and Recreation on 6685 9347 or mobile 0400 475 201.

Coorabell music lobby triumphs Live music and dance events will return to Coorabell Hall in the near future, after three months of wintery silence following complaints from a neighbour. The Coorabell Hall Association has reversed a ban imposed in April on accepting bookings for live and ampliďŹ ed music events. The Annual General Meeting of July 21 of the Association saw a total change of Committee, with the previous ofďŹ ce bearers declining any positions. Elected unopposed were George Lewin (President), Simon Fraser (Secretary), and Ian and Janet Kneale (Treasurer and Vice-President). A detailed draft Management Plan, based on disciplined event management and good neighbourhood liaison, was developed by Simon Fraser and George Lewin to deal with the problems which led to the live music ban. The Plan was warmly received and adopted by the meeting, which had an unusually large attendance following active recruiting of new members by Simon Fraser and the Kneales. In a gracious gesture, Lyn Garrett and Joe Pyle from the previous committee – which had unanimously banned the bands – moved and seconded a motion to recommence booking live music for a 6 month trial. The motion was carried to

loud applause and celebration, especially from the new members. The previous committees have been mostly drawn from long-term Coorabell farming families. The meeting passed unanimous votes of thanks to Pat Wadsworth, Trevor and Lynn Garrett and to other committee members for their hard work in the past looking after the hall and managing the bookings for the many events held there. The ďŹ rst working bee by the new-look Association is already scheduled for August 16. Volunteers could call George Lewin 6684 1114 or Ian Kneale 6684 7417.

Secretary Simon Fraser said, ‘Mayor Jan Barham, Crs Westheimer, Staples and Council staff have supported this outcome right through the campaign to reinstate live music at Coorabll, and have requested a copy of the Draft Management Plan for a consistent approach with Council managed halls.’ Planning groups were formed at the meeting for the Hall’s centenary celebrations next year, and the showcase annual event, the 50th Anniversary Flower Show, in January. Art classes and events, yoga, instruction groups and school functions will continue, but it will take a little while the get the live

music cranked up again. New President George Lewin said that someone ought to buy a big bunch of owers for the solitary neighbour who complained about the music at the Hall. ‘Little did he know how much community spirit he galvanised through complaining. He unleashed a tsunami of love and support for the hall – in fact Janet and Ian Kneale recently collected almost 600 petition signatures from music and hall-lovers in a few short hours at Bangalow market‌ and no-one spoke up against it. That in itself was a quite remarkable outcome in a shire as diverse as ours.’

College aims to revive marine skills Story & photo Eve Jeffery ‘Where the spirit of the land meets the spirit of the sea’. This is the refrain of the song written by Julia Williamson for the proposed College of Marine Studies (COMS), in Brunswick Heads. The realisation of the college is the wish of local shipwright Phil Walters. Phil and his crew of dedicated likeminded folk have the dream of creating a school based in Brunswick Heads which will be the centre for teaching skills that are in danger of disappearing, such as wooden boat building and eventually COMS hope to run courses in all marine industry employment areas such as marine surveying, sail making, radio control and marine hospitality. ‘I saw the potential for having a working harbour here in Brunswick Heads,’ said Mr Walters. ‘In the past boat builders owned the prime real estate and because of that they have been squeezed out to make room for development.’ Mr Walters would like to access crown land which is already owned by the people. The vision is to use the existing infrastructure of the former Fins Restaurant premises, and convert it into

classrooms while boat manufacturing would take place in neighbouring industrial estates. ‘We would like to keep Bruns as a simple pleasures town, while at the same time creating employment and education opportunities for all ages and provide a springboard from which the locals can enter the global market.’ Working with several government departments and universities, the group was funded to determine the cost of the slipway refurbishment, to identify potential

funding sources and to prepare a feasibility report for the Lands Department. The small group of people dedicated to making the dream a reality gathered last week at the Brunswick Heads Hotel to celebrate the reaching of a milestone on the journey. Support for the college has been a long and ongoing process from many of the local businesses and the COMS organisers wanted to take the opportunity to say thanks. There were speeches of

support on the night from historian Frank Mills as well as Rochelle from Australian Seabird Rescue and Trish and Wally Franklin who introduced the group to Brunswick Heads’ newly adopted whale ‘Yolanda’ and unveiled a portrait of the cetacean painted by Russell Green. COMS will soon have a website up and running with more information about the college, whose courses organisers hope to have running as soon as January next year.

Women’s health conference to empower youth The Let’s Go For A Walk: A Young Women’s Health Conference will be held on Tuesday August 5 at the Bangalow A&I Hall. Young women from across the Byron Shire will be invited to the conference where they can attend informative workshop sessions on a range of health related topics. They will also be able to participate in art workshops, writing sessions, and talking circles. There will be no cost to attend. The conference has been organised by the Byron YAC with the Byron Girls Group, Byron Youth Service – Mullumbimby, Young Women’s Group and Byron High School’s Chrysalis Group. ‘We have designed a con-

ference we hope will be informative, relevant, fun and empowering for young women in the area,’ says Ceridwyn Woldendorp-Williams from the Byron Girls Group. The project has been called ‘Let’s Go for a Walk’ based on a behaviour adopted by many young men who use this line as a pickup line on sometimes unsuspecting young women. ‘The Byron Girls Group will be running a workshop in response to the “Let’s Go For A Walk” thing. We will be workshopping empowering and funny comebacks to dodgy pickup lines,’ said Ceridwyn WoldendorpWilliams. Other workshop sessions

include a panel discussion on strengthening family relationships with Sofi Thompson from the P5 program, Deb Pearse from BYS’Youth Links program, Delta Kay from Bunjum and young women from the community. Reine Du Bois and Dr Betty Honey from North Coast Medical Centre, SHAIDS, Lizette Twiselton from the Lismore and District Women’s Health Centre, The Sexual Assault Service and young women from the Byron High Chrysalis Group will also be running sessions throughout the day. ‘It’s a massive collaborative effort from women across the local Health and Community sector. I am very excited about this event

and the outcomes for young women that will come out of it,’ said YAC coordinator Belle Arnold, who is coordinating the conference. The conference is funded by Beyond Blue and Byron Shire Council and organised out of the Byron YAC and supported by a host of community organisations. Free buses will be leaving from Byron High School and Mullumbimby High School and young women will need to get signed permission slips back to their schools by Friday August 1. Permission slips are available from their High School or the Byron YAC. For more info contact Belle Arnold 6685 5775 or Stephanie Sims 6685 7777.

Public forum looks at global strategies for human rights A free public forum focusing on global strategies for human rights issues in China will be held on Monday August 4. Hosted by the Coalition to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong, the forum will include addresses from keynote speaker, international human rights lawyer and author David Matas, and speaker for Amnesty International Maree Klemm, the president

of Amnesty International’s QLD and Northern NSW branch. David Matas is a Canadian human rights lawyer and coauthor of the report ‘Bloody Harvest: Revised Report into Allegations of Organ Harvesting of Falun Gong Practitioners in China’. He will be discussing human rights in China from a global perspective, including such topics as lessons to be learned

from the Beijing Olympic Games about promoting human rights, the best strategy for promoting respect for human rights in China, and controlling organ transplant tourism. Maree Klemm will be speaking on Amnesty International’s current China Campaigns, including the Golden Shield Internet blockade and the arrests of key human rights activists,

including lawyers, before the Olympic Games in Beijing. Mr Matas will be in Australia in August to present a paper to attendees at the XXII International Congress of The Transplantation Society on abusive sourcing of human organs in China. The public forum will be held at Bond University,Theatre 4, Cerum Theatre. RSVP to John Andress (07) 5596 7303 or 0410 313 097.

Kitefest ies to March next year Brunswick Heads’ much loved Kites and Bikes Festival has been moved forward from October this year to Sunday March 22 next year. The Brunswick Heads Chamber of Commerce, which stages the community event, made the decision as a result of ‘a combination of organisational and ďŹ nancial challenges’. Chamber spokesperson Kim Rosen said, ‘While we had three major sponsors on board – The Hotel Brunswick, The Byron Shire Echo and Country Energy – another $8,000 would still have to be raised from the local businesses to cover all the costs of funding the festival. As much as the business community is behind this festival, the harsh economic reality of a dreadful summer trading season followed by a normally tough winter, means that the cash sponsorship required is likely to fall short.

‘It’s just too risky and too stressful for our hard working volunteers.’ ‘March 22 has been chosen to follow a traditionally good trading period, and to suit the tides and our kite expert team, who come up from Sydney to y the largest kites in Australia.’ The event coordinators,

Janine Slater and Fabrizio Calafuri, and the committee will meet at the end of July to plan the next festival. A world record attempt on the beach for the largest number of kites in the air at once will be attempted. It is envisaged that sporting teams, school and locals will join in the fun with their own kites,

most of which will be hand made and decorated at workshops before the event. A major sponsor is being sought for the world record attempt with fantastic air exposure! Any offers of assistance with the running of the festival in March are also welcomed on 0412 316 299.

In keeping with the traditional theme of Simple Pleasures, the fourth annual competition is looking to explore the intrinsic nature of the ‘Village People’, all those creatures and objects which are uniquely recognisable as Bruns-ites. This year again the businesses of the area have been generous in their donation of prizes and cash of over $1000 for the division winners which include categories for children under 12, youth 13 to 18, people 19 and over as well as the overall winner who will receive

$500 and there is of course be the ever popular People’s Choice award.

Event coordinator John Humphries is excited to be overseeing the competition again this year. ‘We have had an awesome response to the competition,’ says John. ‘Last year’s entries were of an excellent stand-

ard. It’s always interesting to see the different take that people have on Brunswick Heads. It’s exciting to see the entries as they arrive and look at what new ideas photographers come up with.’ Due to the large number of entrants, the deadline has been extended to Friday August 15. Entries can be dropped in at the Visitor Centre in Park Street and photos can be printed at the centre Tuesday to Friday afternoons.

Byron’s famed Steve the Sandman has created this gorgeous one third scale docile dragon at Crystal Castle. Sadly the dragon came onto the world without a mother to give him a name. A search in the form of a competition was held throughout the Shire to find him a name. Ciara Clemens thought up ‘Fire Heart’ and won. Fire Heart seems happy to have kids climb all over him.

Bathing beauties and birthing bonuses Story & photo Jann Gilbert Aside from its reputation for attracting national and international writers the Byron Bay Writers Festival provides a launching pad for many local writers. Peter Duke and Sandi Ghandi were the standout local launches at this year’s festival with Peter’s ‘Byron Bay, the book on CD-ROM’ entertaining crowds on its continual loop around the dining room screen, and ‘Australia’s most easterly Indian’ bringing the house down with the ‘birthing’ of her book of anecdotes, Enlighten Up. For Peter, what started as a bit of a passion for local stories and images became a photographic exhibition that ultimately led to the book. ‘I was interested in the history of Byron Bay, particularly the transition in the late sixties from farming community to commune,’ said Peter. Featuring a great collection of images, short stories, poems and artwork, Byron Bay – the book on CDROM documents over 100 years in the transformation of Byron Bay from an industrial and farming town to one of Australia’s leading tourist destinations.

Folk in the Valley was one of Peter’s main sources of inspiration, launched the book. ‘Without the generosity of people – with their stories, their photographs and their time – it wouldn’t have happened,’ said Peter. ‘I’m really thankful to everyone involved in getting it here.’ In Sandi’s mind, however, the book was a foregone conclusion; it just took a lit-

tle time to stalk the publisher David Tennenbaum and get everything into place. With waters broken, ‘gynaecolog ist’ Mick O’Regan and his assistant ‘Nurse’ Fiona, accompanied by Sandi’s unique brand of Indian spiritual humour, delivered her long awaited offspring and ‘Foreign Gossipondent’-style of analysis into the world. ‘I always knew I had a

book in me,’ says Sandi. ‘I suffered from pre-natal depression.’ According to Mick O’Regan, who called it a rollicking ‘laugh out loud read that slays more sacred cows than Casino Beef Week’, all the pain was worth it. Sandi and baby are recovering well, albeit ‘suffering from a bit of post-natal depression and lactation problems’.

Natural medicine booming, census shows Hans Wohlmuth, the head of Southern Cross University’s Department of Natural and Complementary Medicine, has welcomed new government findings that people are flocking to natural and complementary medicine practitioners. Australian Bureau of Statistics figures out last week show that the number of people visiting a complementary health professional – most commonly a chiropractor, naturopath or acupuncturist – increased by 51 percent in the ten years to 2005. Almost 750,000 people (3.8 percent of the popu-

lation) had visited this type of practitioner in a two-week period in 2005 compared to about 500,000 (2.8 percent of the population) in 1995. In another vote of consumer confidence in the natural health sector, the census data also showed the number of people working as complementary health professionals nearly doubled from 4,800 to 8,600 in the ten years to 2006. The leading occupations were naturopaths (2,980) and chiropractors (2,490), up 56 percent and 45 percent respectively from 1996. The fastest growing group was

osteopaths, tripling in number between 1996 and 2006. ‘In the past decade, natural and complementary medicine has taken a huge step from being very much ‘fringe’ to becoming a very significant part of the Australian health care landscape,’ Mr Wohlmuth said. ‘Every week, almost 70,000 Australians visit a naturopath, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics figures, and there are now about 3,000 practising naturopaths in the country. ‘At a time when the country is facing serious shortages in the health care work-

force, naturopaths represent a significant resource. But naturopaths are still not contributing as much to the provision of health care as they could be. The challenge for government is to implement proper professional regulation, so the public can fully benefit from what naturopaths have to offer.’ Mr Wohlmuth said SCU started a new Bachelor course in 2007 which, in conjunction with a Masters degree, will provide professional training of osteopaths. Visits to osteopaths almost doubled between the mid1990s and the mid-2000s.

The innovative Tooty Fruity Vegie program pioneered on the North Coast is now being rolled out to 800 preschools in NSW.

Rous, Council work to save water Rous Water has announced funding of just over $23,500 for businesses and a school in the Byron Shire, for saving potable water by reusing treated efuent. Byron Shire Council has been working with a number of local water customers, planning and implementing the use of treated efuent for watering grounds rather than using potable water. ‘Together, the Recreation Grounds in Tennyson Street Byron Bay, the Byron Bay Bowling Club, Envite and Katia Nurseries and Byron High School, will be saving around 6.8 megalitres per year, just by replacing their potable water use with

reclaimed efuent,’ says Cr Rob Mustow, Chair of Rous Water. ‘We’re encouraged by their efforts to save valuable water and have provided the funding under our non-residential assistance program, which has been running for a number of years now.’ Phil Warner, Director of Water and Recycling Management Services at Byron Shire Council, says that ‘these projects are a culmination of several years’ work and conďŹ rm Council’s commitment to maximising the amount of reclaimed efuent which is reused rather than discharged into the environment. Some govern-

ment funding was obtained for the projects but we appreciate additional assistance from Rous Water.’ Paul Muldoon, General Manager of Rous Water, said, ‘Rous Water’s assistance program is offered to any non-residential water customer in the Rous region, replacing their potable water use with other sources of water or reducing overall water use.’ For more information about Rous Water’s range of water saving incentives in the home and for business, contact Rous Water on 6621 8055 or visit the Rous Water website at www.rouswater. nsw.gov.au.

Liquor chief meets local authorities The State’s most senior liquor licensing officer will meet police and council representatives from Tweed Heads and Byron Bay to discuss how new liquor laws can help address local alcohol-related problems. Director of Liquor and Gaming Albert Gardner will meet Tweed and Byron Shire Council representatives including councillors, general managers and key staff, as well as senior police from the Tweed-Byron Local Area Command, at Tweed Heads police station this week. The meeting will also discuss future directions for the Tweed-Byron Alcohol Response Taskforce which was formed one year ago to reduce intoxication levels and alcohol-related assaults in licensed premises. The taskforce has focused on intensive case management of high-risk licensed venues. Alcohol-related assaults in eight hot spot licensed venues in Tweed Heads, Kingscliff and Byron Bay have

fallen 13%, according to police, with licensees adopting a range of strategies to improve alcohol and security management. Assaults at the Kingscliff Beach Hotel have fallen 86%, while Cheeky Monkeys Bar and Restaurant at Byron Bay has cut assault rates by 57%. ‘This taskforce has made local licensed venues and surrounding areas safer by reducing alcohol-related violence but there is still a lot more work to be done,’ Mr Gardner said. ‘The taskforce has pro-

vided extra enforcement and education resources including covert operations in licensed venues to test compliance levels, audits of pubs and clubs to help licensees strengthen alcohol and security management plans, and workshops for licensees and their staff. Licensees have worked cooperatively with liquor inspectors and police to reduce intoxication levels and the associated anti-social behaviour and violence by adopting new measures to improve the operation of their venues.’

Big day out for Buddhists On August 5 the Byron Bay Buddhists will be celebrating the annual day marking the ďŹ rst teachings given by the Buddha, one of four such commemoration days. The program will begin at 6pm at the Byron Bay Practice Centre, 1/22 Fawcett Street, Brunswick Heads, with a brief introduction to sitting meditation followed by

actual practice. Then there will be a short session of chanting an evocative liturgy of commemoration in English. If you like, bring owers or fruit as a gesture of appreciation and generosity. Anyone is welcome to participate, regardless of whether or not you are a Buddhist or a meditator.

Last days of the Nats are upon us Vol 23 #08

A one off punt? Residents in the north of the Shire opposed to development of the North Byron Shire Parklands site at Yelgun for festival activities will be bitterly disappointed with a Council planning staff recommendation to approve a DA for a Splendour music festival there in August 2009. The DA comes before Councillors on Thursday this week at 1pm. There is time at 11am during public access for residents to make their displeasure felt. The staff recommendation is predicated upon the understanding the application ‘is not a proposal for a permanent festival site. Council is therefore obliged to consider the proposal as a one off event.’ Planners are not bound to accept the proposal on face value, however. It is their responsibility with any DA to determine if the development is what it purports to be or another proposal entirely. It is difďŹ cult for the average punter to understand why the NBSP would commit so much money in infrastructure for a ‘one off’ event which could be rained out. Aside from the impact on local social amenity, which we feel has not been properly assessed, the staff report itself points out the proposal ‘includes uses that could be inconsistent with the permissible land uses’ which include sensitive habitat and agricultural zones. Furthermore, ‘The site includes a number of planning constraints including ecological and archaeological sensitive areas. The proposal will potentially impact on one or more of these areas.’ The Director-General of Planning in March 2007 advised Council a draft LEP to provide a site for a Regional Cultural and Events Facility on the NBSP land could go ahead. But Council’s planners advise they are ‘still waiting on the applicant to submit the required detailed rezoning proposal to Council for assessment addressing issues raised by the Department of Planning plus those required by staff.’ This reinforces the view that NBSP is taking an enormous punt on a one-off event when it has yet to satisfy the requirements for a satisfactory rezoning voted on by Council in December 2006. On the question of social amenity, residents would not be reassured by a police Crime Management Unit submission which concludes ‘It is not possible to make areas evaluated by [the police] absolutely safe for members of the community or their property.’ Nor is there any reassurance in an RTA document which suggests as a trafďŹ c management measure the ‘closure of the Yelgun Interchange’s northbound off-ramp for the peak period. TrafďŹ c will be redirected via the offramp at Brunswick River and the Brunswick Valley Way through Ocean Shores to the site’. That’s bound to be a popular move. How the Councillors vote on this DA may not give many residents cause to sleep peacefully at night but it will enable them to better determine who they vote for on September 13.

I

think it was in 1970 that I ďŹ rst predicted the demise of the National Party, then the Australian Country Party. The 1969 federal election had reduced its parliamentary numbers, and demography, I pontiďŹ cated, was moving inexorably against it. Australians were deserting the bush for the cities in ever increasing numbers, and the trend could not be reversed. While the ACP remained part of a ruling coalition, it could maintain the gerrymander by which rural electorates need have a far smaller number of voters than their city counterparts and continue subsidising this declining constituency to the extent that even in those far off days every adult resident of the bush received the equivalent of nearly $20,000 a year in taxpayer support. But the 1969 election had shown that the coalition was on its last legs; a cloud no bigger than Gough Whitlam was looming across the political landscape and the capacity of the Country Party to deliver the spoils of victory appeared certain to come to an end the next time the voters went to the polls. Moreover, the said E G Whitlam had already shown an unexpected ability to win over the notoriously conservative rural electorate. In a ground-breaking by-election he had won the Queensland heartland seat of Capricornia for Labor, and had repeated the feat in Dawson in the general election. Obviously in the early days of Federation a party to represent the special interests of the outback made sense and it could not be denied that the Country Party, under the formidable leadership of such men as Sir Earle Page, Sir Arthur Fadden and Sir John McEwen had been an impor-

tant force in Australian politics, at times vital in keeping the mainstream conservative party – Liberals, Nationals, United Australia, now Liberals again – in power. But now its support was eroding on all sides, and its days were clearly numbered. Well, they were, and they still are, even if the number is now approaching 14,000.

away, they were never a presence in Tasmania and in the Northern Territory the conservatives have always been united in a single Country Liberal Party. Only in Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria do the Nationals exist as a separate entity, and even here they have sometimes appeared confused about their identity.

The weekend merger with the Liberals in Queensland is the real, honest to goodness, fair dinkum beginning of the end. by Mungo MacCallum It is true that the party isn’t what it was in 1970. Its parliamentary strength has declined, and it has changed its name to the Nationals, although the only perceptible beneďŹ t is that its youth branch can now line up with the Young Libs and the Young Labs without embarrassment. ‘I’m a Young Nat’ sounds much better than the previous version. But the rural rump remains the great survivor of Australian politics, and like Mark Twain, can declare triumphantly that reports of its imminent demise have been greatly exaggerated. Still, here comes another one: the weekend merger with the Liberals in Queensland is the real, honest to goodness, fair dinkum beginning of the end. The ďŹ rst thing to note about the National Party of Australia is that its name, like that of its fellow coalitionists the Liberal Party, is a lie. The Nationals are not, and never have been, national. And these days they are restricted to the eastern mainland. Whatever tenuous grasp they held in Western Australia and South Australia has long since been slipped

Don’t leave it too long...

In Victoria, for instance, they actually spent some time in coalition with Labor. In New South Wales they have been in and out of coalition with the Libs, but in Queensland they have often treated the Libs as just as much an enemy as Labor. Queensland however, has always been their real power base, the only place where they have ever held government in their own right or even as senior partner, albeit with the aid of a truly ferocious gerrymander. And even after Labor governments have imposed a form of democracy on the state the Nationals remain a far more powerful force than the Libs, so from a National point of view a merger makes a certain amount of sense. Anywhere else, a merger would constitute something close to a Liberal takeover, with the Nats simply absorbed into their more widespread partner. Even the prospect leads serious Nats to threaten the formation of a new Country Party to look after the sectional interests which are still, theoretically at least, their rai-

son d’etre. The Queensland Nats ďŹ gured they were strong enough to call the tune, although some of the more conspiratorial Libs under the leadership of disgraced former minister Santo Santoro are already plotting to subvert the newly formed Liberal National Party to their own purposes. They may or may not succeed, but whatever happens one thing is clear: the old Queensland National Party is dead, and this has serious and potentially fatal, implications for the remnants of the Party in its other footholds. For the moment, Queensland’s federal member will retain their identities, the Libs as Libs and the Nats as Nats. But what happens after future elections? Are the newly elected NLP members Nats or Libs? If it becomes their choice, they would be mad not to go with the strength. The pressure for a merger at the federal level, if only to tidy up such anomalies, can only increase. Similarly the Queensland precedent can hardly be ignored in New South Wales and especially Victoria, where one federal member, Julian McGaurran, saw no difďŹ culty in deserting the Nats for the Libs less than two years ago. Where McGaurran has gone, others will be tempted to follow. The Queensland Nats have scrambled the eggs and in the long term there is no real alternative for their colleagues but to join the omelet. It must be galling to the feds and their leader Warren Truss, who are still celebrating a big win in the Gippsland by-election and anticipating more of the same in Lyne. But the long-awaited reckoning is ďŹ nally upon them.They are in their last days, and this time we’re not talking about 14,000 of them.

Woolies letter draws a sharp response â– In last week’s letters John Sharpe, in questioning how the numbers at the Woolworths rally, took a ‘sharp’ and unjustiďŹ ed dig at Steiner education. ‘Whoever did that headcount was either Steiner educated or came directly from a rave party.’ Why, John? What’s the point? I attend Shearwater Steiner School and I ďŹ nd your remarks irrational, illinformed and just plain ignorant. Why bad mouth the Steiner system? Can’t you make your point any other way? At our school we’re taught (as well as Maths) to be tolerant, creative and compassionate. I feel sorry for you, John, I’ve been taught well. Tennyson Nobel

Year 9 Shearwater Steiner School â– In response to John Sharpe’s latest offering: 365 people signed the petition at the anti Woolworths protest in Mullum, so far from being the result of ‘Steiner educated’ mathematicians, the protest appears to have been a real reection of the com-

If you want, feel free to attend one of our classes, I’m sure the students would be more than happy and skilled to teach you. You see, not only are Steiner educated students vigorously taught, but they walk out of our doors unafraid of adults (even uninformed ones), content with who they are, and with the ability to communicate their insights, knowledge and aspirations – that’s why statistically, their dropout rate in ďŹ rst year university is the lowest of all educational streams, and why universities are so keen to accept them into their Alok O’Brien courses.

Jesuschristallbloodymighty, himself, a nice Jewish boy, would, if he returned as the Messiah, be appalled at the behaviour of the unholy Roman Empire which masquerades as a church for tax evasion purposes. Pell’s pal the previous Polish predator priest, protector Pope has been replaced by the new Vatican mafia boss, Cardinal Ratzinger who has been invited to Oz for a Catholic recruitment and fundraising campaign. As a tax payer in a supposedly secular nation, I greatly resent my tax money subsidising the richest NGO in the World. Heaven forbid that any harm comes to him before he announces Mary McKillop as an Australia’s own ‘miracle performing’ saint.

We don’t need ones that lurch from their inactivity once in a term to purchase a useless piece of land to block Woolworths while, during the same term, litigating against resident groups in the north of the shire to deny them their sporting ďŹ elds. Wills need to be turned to the positive, not remain hostage of the negative. Graham Bassett

BU campaigns It is usual for Chambers of Commerce to pump out propaganda implying that what’s good for them is also good for the community. This is not a supportable idea or evidence. Byron being Byron, the local C of C calls itself Byron United. Its current anti-Council campaign is on dispassionate examination nothing more than a thinly disguised propaganda for their own greed. Now I don’t like tagging, rubbish or cigarette butts carelessly disposed of, but their Tidy Town preoccupation seems to be of an overly orderly nature. And with all due respect to the artists involved, who are certainly not without talent, their cur-

rent efforts to introduce ‘art’ into the townscape are marginal and decorative. Their ‘clean up’ campaign is obviously designed to embarrass the current Council by drawing attention to its supposed inadequacies. There are all sorts of projects more important than the superficial appearance of the town that they could expend their energies on if they are truly community minded. That all this is completely false is best demonstrated by their constant assertion that more development is needed to create more employment. I have lived in Byron twenty years this year. Despite the enormous amounts of development in this time, the unemployment rate has never varied more than a couple of percentage points. David Gilet

Woolies submission Byron Shire Council’s (BSC) submission to the NSW Department of Planning (DOP), who are currently assessing Woolworths’ recent Section 96 application, makes strong and clear comment in respect to the proposed sewage management. BSC’s submission states

‘The application provides insufďŹ cient, incorrect or no information as to critical matters for the assessment of on-site sewage management and has substantively failed to demonstrate that the site has the capacity to contain both the entire development and adequate on-site sewage

management.’ BSC concludes ‘The deletion of the requirement to stage the development and the associated proposal for on-site sewage management to the entire development is not supported by Council.’ Thank you, Mayor Jan Barham and Councillors

Yes, Veronica, there is a God‌ maybe ■May I respond to Veronica Guy’s letter of July 22 re religion and atheists. First I must explain there are people who go to church and there are Christians who go to church. To distinguish them, the churchgoer may badmouth you, while the Christian may hate what you are doing but will love you. They have to love you. They have to love even those who persecute them and even their enemies. You are correct when you say that religious groups should not receive preferential treatment; their reward comes much later. You liken Christianity to a fairy tale.

Would you try to rationalise a fairy tale? Of course not. Yet to your surprise you may rationalise Christianity, but before you can do so you will need to put the Bible to the test. No-one can pass judgement on anything unless it has been tested. You may ask, how does one test the Bible? All you have to do is read the Bible and you will find all the answers that you need there. May I remind you that to date not one single person has been able to disprove one single word written there.

â– Veronica Guy accuses me of playing the man not the ball. Of course I did and unashamedly so. I do not disagree with the proposition that nothing exists beyond the material, merely the sanctimonious way Ms Guy goes about putting that proposition. The only insight I draw from her latest correspondence is that my initial opinion was well formed. James Robinson-Gale

â– You are quite right, Veronica. There are times A T Downs when I do not think ratioByron Bay nally about my life and its

consequences. Like everyone else my life has its challenges. The spiritual path can hold traps for the unwary. It is not always easy to keep one’s feet on the ground. I am blessed to have the support of good people of varying backgrounds and beliefs. I like to think that it is rational to know my limitations and seek help when necessary. I suspect, Veronica, that you and I have similarities in our need to stand up and speak out. For me it is part of my path to self respect.

Tabart, Westhiemer, Staples and Lazarus, for the resolutions of Council that instructed BSC staff’s attention to these issues. BSC staff are to be commended for addressing the very considerable concerns in respect to the sewage management proposals put forward by Woolworths. Having received so many submissions from the Mullum community and BSC highlighting the inadequacies of the Woolworths S96 sewage proposal, the DOP must surely recommend refusal by the Minister. The question remains whether Minister Frank Sartor chooses to assess this S96 on its merits or whether Woolworths big end of town has more political clout than the technical arguments.

to see our rates money being used for a good purpose as the memories these young people take home can only improve tourism in the area. As our Premier said, Sydney had millions of dollars in advertising by having this great, happy, friendly, event in our state with so much coverage around the world. It seems some Councillors were against it, even a protest was arranged. I’m pleased no-one saw you, as some of these people come from war torn countries. In fact, some young people were unable to come. Thank God we live in a free country. There are many Christians in this area who will be voting in a new council soon. I hope they got your names. Good luck.

Core values Pleased to see the Byron Social Forum’s Core Values Group is pushing for residents, businesses and organisations within Byron Shire

to develop and adopt core values and not whinge that Council should do everything for us. As someone who recently moved here I arrived to see unhappiness reigns over the lack of application of core values on issues like young holiday makers partying every night to the annoyance of their neighbours. Take this noise issue as an example. Contrast the decades long sensibility of Byron residents over the promotion of the environment, surfing, tolerance, alternative values and the arts with a young generation

of visitors who don’t know the culture and just think, ‘party town, party hard.’ Council rules here are valuable but what about individual and commercial responsibility? I have visited Byron’s largest backpacker establishments, pubs and clubs and found no evidence (signage, orientation sheets) tipping off kids that we love them having a wild time in a club or pub but when they leave they need to respect the locals by keeping quiet. Ditto holiday lets. My friends who rent out give their tenants the message through making them sign a

no noise agreement and letting them know they have given neighbours both the tenants and landlord mobile numbers. It’s called attempting a culture change. Sounds like pie in the sky? In Sydney my Bondi Junction neighbour was perhaps the noisiest Irish pub in town. Over several, at times strained, years of working with the publican our collection of neighbours did achieve that culture change.

Go to any resort and in what do you move around? Golf carts and shuttle carriers. Many of us live in towns used as resorts and it seems a natural progression to move in these energy efficient vehicles around town. Apart from lower costs and lower carbon emissions other advantages are slower speeds, open air feel, and more space on the roads. They are only about 1200mm wide and could travel on the edge of most roads. Surfboards and other loads can be placed in the back or on the roof.

past but then thought better of it and went back to pick it up, thinking some child might find it as it was opposite the pet shop. Two men were just walking past the needle as I got off my bike, saw it, and kept going. When they saw me pick it up, they told me there was another one further down the road. Like me, they initially thought nothing about picking it up and disposing of it properly. I knew it wasn’t good enough to just toss it in a garbage bin so I called the police to ask how to properly dispose of it. They said be very careful, wrap it securely and take it to the hospital or a doctor’s surgery for sharps disposal. I wonder, if you need to use needles for a medical condition such as diabetes, surely you would be well versed in how to responsibly deal with needles.You would know it is not good enough to just toss it loose in the weekly rubbish. If you’re unfortunate enough to be using heroin, we can probably assume you are out of control and can’t take responsibility for your own behaviour, let alone the needles you use. So, it is up to the rest of us when we find such things lying around creating a risk for others; to know how and where to dispose of them. This means also being aware there will be needles on the beach which is a very bad thing indeed. I guess you have to pity the poor jerks who use but it still pisses me off how their activities put others at risk.

Prepare for Splendour

Splendour Mega Festival, recommended by Council staff to invade the end of my street!. The Horror, The Horror! Anger, fear, disillusionment, resentment, and disbelief all surface in the time it takes to read the few simple sentences. The cads, how could they? Council’s website shows all is not lost. Council staff have highlighted many areas of concern to be addressed or negated before the DA can be approved. The usual suspects – the large amount of permanent infrastructure required for the ‘one off ’ ‘trial’ event. Come on, who believes it’s a one off? Within this the massive tunnel or earthworks severing Jones Road wildlife corridor, and adjoining 7K habitat zones. They want a ‘caravan park’ not a ‘primitive camping ground’ (for 8500 campers) – not allowed in zoning. Flooding to carpark and inability to evacuate, called ‘unlikely’, they’re relying on the weather.. The list goes on, but I won’t. Check out the magnum opus yourself. Now it’s down to our elected representatives in Council to give it the thumbs up or down.

the Grass. Point 1 states: ‘There would be no objection to the proposed trial if Option 2 in the report dated the 15 January 2008 is implemented for managing traffic entering the site. This will require the closure of the Yelgun Interchange’s northbound off-ramp for the peak period. Traffic is to be redirected via the off-ramp at Brunswick River and the Brunswick Valley Way through Ocean Shores to the site.’ So to Brunswick, Ocean Shores, New Brighton and South Golden Beach residents, hope you don’t mind being late to school, doctors, sport, etc. Hope you don’t have any emergencies and need to go to hospital. How dare Council place us in this position, recommending this be allowed. Residents living in the far north will have to go through to Brunswick. Does this happen with all the events? I hope the councilors that wish to vote in favor of this DA will now rethink this ridiculous situation they are placing on the residents in the north. Anyone living on the north of the Brunswick Bridge, get ready for the invasion of your roads, your amenity. Your very existence is about to change for ever. Kathy Norley

South Golden Beach Progress Association ■ Both the RTA and the NSW Police have serious concerns about the traffic impact on the north of the Shire. The police state that it is not possible to have areas evacuated by the police absolutely safe for members of the community or their sandy soils is likely to allow migration of contaminates either into the underlying shallow aquifers or offsite towards the closely situated Belongil Creek. Both Council and the Department of Environment and Climate Change have been formally notified of this risk to our local environment, however, disappointingly, work continues at the site. While service stations play a role in our community, undertaking such demolition activities in a residential area without consideration of meteorological conditions or best practice requirements may result in a significant impact on our local environment. Dave Mullen

Byron Bay

Come on, Byron I love coming to Byron, and revel in the variety of letters published each week by The

property. The RTA makes 28 conditions on Splendour for the control of traffic during the so called ‘trial’ in August 2009. Police and RTA statements are contained in two reports delivered to Byron Shire Council in January 2008 and February 2008 and were only made public on July 23 after a Freedom of Information request was belatedly complied with to ourselves. Councillors we contacted said that they had not received either of these reports via their own planning department as of July 24. As the Splendour proposal is to be debated on July 31, this lack of communication between Council staff and Councillors is appalling. When one takes into consideration that this so-called ‘trial’ is for 25,000 patrons and Splendour’s own statements say they plan many greater crowds, it is obvious that if they get permission to hold this event it will be a disaster for the people of this Shire. We urge all residents who oppose this totally unsuitable proposal to contact their Councillors and express their views on this matter prior to July 31. Splendour is treating this Shire and its people and Councillors with contempt because it has already applied to the Land and Environment Court to determine the DA citing delays by Council when it was their own withdrawal of the DA that caused the delays.

Mungo’s column, the long-running debates in the letters pages, and the ability of Byron Shire to provide a lead on so many issues – all this is a constant source of delight. But on my last few visits, something important has been missing. In this piece of God’s paradise, where sun and wind and lush vegetation all abound, I look in vain for a lead being shown by Byron in utilising renewable energy. I hear the refrain that where Byron leads, the rest of the country follows – but in this allimportant area of energy, I fail to see where Byron is offering any substantive lead at all.

Sponges defy the need for a brain Story & photo Mary Gardner Spotting a couple of derelict sponges on the tide line, you might simply walk on by. Even seeing them underwater, you might take them for part of the background vegetation. But look again, in detail. Considering sponges is about meditating on identity: what is Self? And what is the Other? Sponges are animals on the edge of science fiction. They take all kinds of shapes from carpets millimetres thick to great fans the size of elephant ears. They are a two layer collective of cells on a mission pumping seawater into itself and then out. These assembly of cells are not glued together in any way nor are they organised as organs. The cells each take on different roles. Many of the cells on the inner side are choanocytes. These are unique round cells with a funnel shape to one side. Here are the microvilli, small waving fingers which pull into the cell particles from the seawater. In the centre of the funnel is a flagella, a small whirling whip which manages the mircocurrent around the funnel. Outside cells are pinacocytes, leathery, tightly packed, building the outer ‘skin’. Porocytes line the

openings into the inner folds. The most remarkable cells are the archaeocyctes, which wander through the central filling known as mesenchyme. The archaeocyctes are totipotent: they can turn into any other cell as required, even into eggs or sperm. Usually they ingest the particles brought in by the choanocytes and then deliver nutrients to all the other cells. There are also sclerocytes. These secrete the spicules. The little sentence hardly conveys the complexity of what goes on. The spicules are mineralised shapes of silica and/or calcium carbonate. Each is unique to every species of sponge and even within a species, they can vary wildly. Identification of a sponge is a hazardous ‘best guess’ done by trained professionals. Still, the spicules are the key features by which a sponge is correctly identified. Examined under a microscope or even a scanning electron microscope, these are exquisite shapes. This identifies about 90% of the known sponges. When the spicules are silica and fused, they are glass sponges. When the spicules are calcium and fused, they are calcera sponges.

And when the spicules are actually organic fibres known as spongin, they are the sponge proper, harvested for wet cleaning jobs. If the sponge ‘Self’ seems intricate enough, so is their sense of ‘the Other’. A typical sponge will pump its own weight in water every five seconds. This can total several thousand litres a day. The creature is constantly open to every bacteria, plankton and organics in the water. It could become infected, eaten, altered or choked up with all these small life forms. So the sponge creates substances which keep it free of growths,

infestations and parasites. Without any nervous system, brain, organs or glands, it manages a kind of immune system. So a lot of the sponge chemistry is quite specialised. Here is where biochemists found the first anticancer agents. They also find antibacterial and antiviral substances. On top of all that, they see that sponges actively care for their favourite bacteria. These bacteria secrete special metabolites, according to what a sponge needs and wants. This mass of cells, the barest collective in the animal world, recognises Self. It also

nerve endings leading to both blood vessels as well as immune cells. This was the first sign of a link between the nervous system and the immune system. In 1985, Candace Pert found metabolites from some human cells are recognized by both brain cells and cells of the immune system. These are identified as neuropeptides and neurotransmitters. They suggest a body-mind connection. What makes the immune system active has links to what involves our thoughts and feelings. In 2006, the fourth update of the four volume work Psychoneuroimmunology was published. The ‘immunebrain loop’ is a hot topic. How does it work? Is there a ‘high order control’ built into us? What, if anything, is our free will? Consider the sponge again. Without a nervous system, without organs, without a brain, its cells do what ours do: care for Self and recognise the Other. Sharing the same earth, with all of our complexity, exactly what more are we? The question for each of us is: what of it?

understands Other as both ally and foe. Like our own immune system, the sponges’ cellular network rallies and acquiesces. Are you up-to-date about mammalian immune systems? These are as far removed from sponges as the animal kingdom can manage. Mammalian immune systems have organs producing many types of specialised cells and metabolites. These cells, as do the sponges’, tend, repair, destroy and recycle other cells which are recognised as Self and ■ Mary Gardner is a writer, Other. Now in 1981, David Fel- biologist and tutor.

say, 2012. Where are the building regulations requiring new structures (commercial, industrial, domestic) to be energy self-sufficient? Where are wind generators producing local energy and feeding it into the grid with feed-in tariffs? Where is the use being made of biomass to produce energy or biochar, to be used as soil amendment throughout the shire? Where are the campaigns to attract renewable energy manufacturers – solar cell producers, wind turbine generators, renewable

energy service companies – that would underpin the claim by Byron to be an alternative energy capital? Yes, I am aware of the Byron Shire Greenhouse Action Strategy that was updated in 2008. It presses all the right buttons, but is more concerned (it appears) with Council’s own actions (printing on both sides of the paper, right?) than with setting standards for the Shire as a whole. Council has powers that it can use, over planning permits, DAs and zoning, and it has the public support that would enable it to set the highest

standards, and then boast about them profusely, publicly and repeatedly. The aim would be to attract only the most energy-responsible businesses to the Shire. Come on, Byron – show the rest of the country what can be done. Give us all a lead in becoming Australia’s first Shire where renewable energy sources trump fossil fuels.

In February this year the NSW gover nment announced the Inquiry into Secure and Sustainable Urban Water Supply & Sewerage Services for NonMetro NSW, calling for anyone interested to make a submission or present their ideas at public hearings. The Inquiry is headed by the Hon Ian Armstrong, ex Deputy Premier and longtime National Party Minister and Leader, and Dr Colin Gellatly, who is a former head of the Premiers John Mathews Department. After receiving numerous Elizabeth Bay

submissions from interested parties from all over the state and then hearing over 300 presentations at the public hearings, that were held from Broken Hill to Tweed Heads, the Committee are now sitting to consider their recommendations. Despite the generally held notion of how proactive and environmentally aware we on the North Coast are, sadly only a few individuals from this region contributed to the debate. Safe drinking water and the treatment and safe disposal of sewage may not be the most glamorous topics

If you think Climate Change won’t hurt our economy, think again. Australia is already a hot and dry continent. Climate change will mean more severe droughts – reducing our water supplies, threatening agriculture and risking higher food prices.

Scientists warn that climate change will cause more severe bushfires, storms, cyclones and floods. This is already pushing up insurance premiums.

Major tourist attractions like the Great Barrier Reef, Kakadu Wetlands and the Australian Alpine areas are all threatened by rising temperatures – risking thousands of jobs.

but they are the most important function a local council performs. The outcomes affect all the community either directly or indirectly, from the very young to the elderly. Local readers only need to think back to the sewage overflows in the Brunswick River that have polluted it in the past or on the Tweed where we have had numerous preventable drinking water contaminations including Boiled Water Alerts as well as major sewage splills into the Tweed and Rous Rivers and Terranorra Lakes, and these are only some of the events that are reported. Surfers and fishermen all along the north coast have witnessed and experienced poor sewage disposal methods for too long and it’s time it for the community to demand better practices. Ballina MP Don Page has been recruited by the NSW United Services Union in their campaign ‘Operation Waterguard’, which is nothing more than an attempt to discredit the government and to preempt the Inquiry’s recommendations. This Inquiry is not about destroying jobs. It’s about finding solutions to problems that are rife throughout the industry. I’ts about protecting the general public as well as the environment, and this far outweighs the Union’s concern about a few lost memberships and subscriptions. Instead of jumping into bed with the USU, Mr Page should have examined the submission by the Water Industry Operators Association, a non profit group whose members operate water and sewage treatment plants all over Australia. They state that ‘unless the water industry recognises the issues and understands the potential risks of ongoing inaction and work proactively to address them, the time bomb that is a major water quality incident with potentially serious health implications and possibly even deaths is imminent’. We have been warned. I urge the NSW government to take more responsibility in the provision of water supply and sewerage services and ensure that people in our communities can have the belief that they are being provided a service that meets world’s best practice.

Articles 4EEYA "LATT finds inspiration in the work of Margaret Brown

,AND NEEDED FOR LOCAL DOG SHELTER I first met Margaret Brown three years ago, when the Companion Animals Welfare Inc op shop opened in Brunswick Heads. That meeting was to have a profound effect on the way I understood the world. Not because I hadn’t heard of devoted volunteers before, although Margaret Brown is a particularly tireless example of such, but it was through contact with her that I learned the true meaning of ‘inspired’. Having been for five years an insecure, home-bound single mum, volunteering to work in the shop was my first venture out of home. It is a reflection on the feeling of safety and nurturing that infuses the shop that I plucked up the courage to do so. Such good feng shui is due not only to the harmonious layout, nor to the clean clothes, welcoming atmosphere and cheap prices. There’s something else in that shop that is harder to define. In daily usage, we seem to associate ‘inspiration’ with the stimulus or motivation to create. Sometimes we use the word because we feel an opening up of our connection to our fellow earth beings, as in the phrase, ‘That was so inspiring!’ It may also mean that we want to perpetuate a sense of goodwill, spread the love around, as in ‘I’m so imspired!’ This is how I used the word, anyway. A dictionary definition reflects the deeper idea of ‘the breath of divinity’ infusing life into a vessel of some sort. My understanding of inspiration has become broader, having worked with MB for three years. The rippling effects of such inspiration have become clearer to me and my appreciation of the in-dwelling spirit has become more poignant. I’d like to share them, because, well, they are inspiring. I have come to see that inspiration is very like planting. Here was a soul fertile in its willingness to give. There was a spark of the heavenly breath, like a shiny speck of moon dust floating in the ether, a seed fatefully finding its way to this fertile ground. Then it landed, and O! the explosion of energy that occurs at the birth of new life, the beauty of yin and yang in harmony, the fecundity from the mixture of love divine and love human! In that magic moment when the divine spark found the tender ground of MB’s soul, a whole world came into being! A moment of inspired sowing which contained

within it the means, the manner, the route unfolding – the destiny, resources, and the energy for this project. The fruit became Margaret’s mission – to build a muchneeded dog shelter in the Byron Shire, to save abandoned, abused or unwanted animals. And somehow, money became available to set up shop, previous experience, positive and negative, provided important lessons on what and what not to do to establish a thriving business, kind-hearted animal lovers volunteered their time and energy, goods were donated, people came and bought, and the shop itself seemed to glow with the light of inner goodness of its founder’s intentions. Which is not to say that MB doesn’t put hours of work and attention in to the shop. Not only does she carry the major responsibility of the shop and the corporation on her shoulders, she is also involved in every step that that entails. Margaret opens and closes the shop, sometimes after 12-hour days, mostly six days a week (sometimes seven). With support from other volunteers, she does the banking, the setting up of meetings, makes all the corporate decisions. She has spoken at council, met with the mayor, the journalist, the potential philanthropist. She is responsible for the ‘hiring’ of staff, the orientation and the overseeing. She organises rosters, furniture pick-ups and garbage collection. On a daily basis, she washes, cleans, values, places every little bit that can

be sold. She is PR agent, complaints department, and human resources, somehow finding the energy to show her appreciation of every moment the volunteers work, and to pet and croon a kind welcome to each animal that visits. And that’s only what I’ve seen takes up her time. MB’s footprints are visible, not only in my life, in the lives of many people who remind her to take care of herself, but also, God willing, in the improved lives of the animals she cares and works tirelessly for and intends to save. The project hasn’t yet reached its goal – although we now have the funds necessary to start building a shelter, we haven’t enough to acquire the land to build on. How do we know this intended shelter is an ‘inspired’ project? Because the karma of everyone associated with the project is good; from the volunteers who donate their time and energy, to the donors of goods, to the buyers that not only recycle and reuse, but also contribute to the funds being gathered to build the shelter. Not only that, the saving of animals in itself will generate even more goodness, not only for the animals’ wellbeing of course, but for everyone in the shire who can proudly claim that we are a community that cares for animals, what Gandhi said was a sign of true humanity. Do these effects ripple? How but through the breath of divinity does an act engender only good vibrations?

And so I see the breath of divinity whenever I go into that shop, and for that, I’d like to thank a truly inspiring role model who it is my privilege to work with. I’d like to thank Margaret Brown.

Thoughts turn to a pending election ■ It seems that all current Councillors support the proposal for a new suburb along Ewingsdale Road (from Island Quarry to Belongil Creek) of well over a thousand houses that will result in something like a 50% increase in Byron Bay’s population. This is despite this new development being contrary to the Byron Bay–Suffolk Park Settlement Strategy and not being required to satisfy the Regional Strategy’s growth targets for the next 25 years. No existing or aspiring Byron Councillors appear willing to stand up for the community against inappropriate development any more, particularly if this may mean taking on the state government. Will any of the aspirants for the new Council promise to do all they can to stop this development? Does anyone care? Dailan Pugh

network to coordinate efforts to change a Council out of touch with its own community. At the time CAN created a groundswell across the Shire to elect Councillors who represented principles of environmental protection and community consultation in Council decision-making. CAN was active again in the following two local elections resulting in Councillors taking a more precautionary approach to development approvals based on environmental impact, rather than the previous open slather approach. CAN is not a lobby group or pseudo-political party. We are a volunteer community group that has as its goal to recommend candidates who we believe will uphold principles of environmental sustainability (even more important in the face of climate change) and community consultation in Council decisions, especially in the area of planning and development. We assess all candidates on merit regardless of political party – and any Councillors wanting to be re-elected, according to their voting history on ‘the big’ issues. We are organising a ‘meet-the-candidates’ event in August and candidates and residents across the Shire are invited to attend. Eventually CAN will assess candidates and make recommendations to voters. For an outline of our principles please email: taylor. sue@gmail.com

■ In response to recent letters in The Echo regarding CAN we would like to clarify our role in the coming local election and give some background to the group.

some of your outlandish stuff: I am surely not anti-green, but certainly pretty critical of the Byron Party Greens. As far as Lot 107 is concerned, my thoughts are that your statements certainly are the fine icing topping the misinterpretation cake. I confidently put that to the informed, including the Ocean Shores community, to judge as to who rewrites history here. Beyond that, the reason that nobody, including me, has been coming up with real alternatives to Lot 107 is very simple, there are none. Lot 107 has been by far the most suitable site for integrated sports fields in Ocean Shores! It now also appears from your letter that the (great) golf course in Ocean Shores is next in line for an unwarranted land grab attack.Wonder what the golfing community as well as the more reasonable part of the overall community have to say to that. Have we not already lost too much in Ocean Shores into being locked up community excluded territory? My support is going for anything proactive, positive and really progressive and that certainly includes BU, absolutely yes! Talking of Brunswick Heads: I have always admired the good community work in Brunswick Heads that let to wonderful events and initiatives, including Simple Pleasures, as I admire and support any other meaningful community initiative anywhere else in the Shire and beyond. Such as the Ocean Shores Art Expo, etc. Plus yes, the folks in Ocean Shores know what I am standing for in regard to local issues and believe me, support for that issues is indeed very widespread. If you knew me one iota you would know that I am pretty much a positive yes! can do! person that simply is pretty annoyed by all that no! cannot do! stuff filtering through from known, must-be-prettyfrustrated, quarters. As a former restaurateur with strong local patronage (legendary River Thai, Gecko Thai Café, Palms Hastings Point) I certainly had a good chance to put my ear on the ground for a long time and get a feel for realities in the community. Attacking me the way you do, you may very well bark up the wrong tree. Plus thanks for the totally unjustified ‘all rhetoric’ tag. You may wish to join us for some real green hands-on work, green-scaping a small rural property up the coast, tree planting, mulching, environmentally friendly dripirrigation, etc… Good fun!

Candidate for Council ■ Byron United supports recent concerns expressed by Bob Levett (Letters July 22), Di Morrissey (Northern Star 19/06/08) and Kerry O’Brien (Byron Social Forum) relating to our library. We are concerned about the proposed location, the endless delays and lack of funding to complete the project in our life time. Byron Shire Council recently acquired the freehold title to the proposed library site, on the corner of Lawson and Middleton Streets, from the Department of Lands. Byron United believes there are three significant flaws in the proposed Lawson Street library site. It is located in a congested beach front area. The proposed site’s current LEP zoning excludes library use. According to a draft report on Coastline Management, currently before Council’s Committee for Coastal Management, the library will be located in a Coastal Erosion Hazard Three Zone. This zone limits development to single storey residential development. Current recommendations prohibit commercial, retail or industrial use – such as a $7 million library development – in this zone. Byron United calls on Council to consider alternative sites and funding options as a priority. One option we have considered is: Selling the unsuitable Lawson Street site. Relocating the library to Council’s Tennyson Street tennis site – which is in a less congested area and adjacent to three local schools. Using funds left over from the sale of the existing library site to build a larger, modern tennis centre on the Butler Street Reserve, or at the Ewingsdale sports fields. Byron United will be asking all Mayoral and Councillor Candidates to respond to this option as part of our upcoming survey and ranking of candidates. Ed Ahern

Something psephological this way comes Westheimer bows out, doctors muse on mozzies, Basil steams ahead, Byron United gears up as September 13 looms Candidates are beginning to jockey for position in the upcoming council elections scheduled for September 13. But first of all, retiring councillors start to take their farewell bows. Cr Peter Westheimer has announced he will not be seeking reelection. ‘I intend to allow myself time to focus more on key issues and interests rather than dealing with all things as is the role of a councillor,’ he said in a press release. ‘Being an informed and responsive Councillor needs 20 to 30 hours a week, ideally 30 to 40 hours. ‘I hope to continue my work towards a new rail service, biodiversity enhancement, creative industry development and responding strategically and creatively to climate change challenges. ‘Being a councillor in Byron Shire has been full on (which I expected), enormously rewarding and stimulating and tough because of the sheer volume of information to digest. ‘I have had the privilege of meeting and working with many of the diverse, inspiring, talented and of course passionate people of our Shire. ‘I will be supporting council candidates who have sustainability issues and intergenerational equity as core concerns, whether they be Independent or Green. The Labor candidates this time are a poor option.’

Cameron runs Goonengerry resident Basil Cameron has conďŹ rmed his candicacy. ‘I am standing because I believe I can make a difference,’ Mr Cameron said in a press release. ‘The immense challenges posed by climate change mean that now more than ever, the community needs to be heard and engaged in creating a sustainable future. ‘We must not lose sight of the fundamentals – environmental sustainability is the bedrock on which our social and economic wellbeing is built.’ ‘My priorities include protection of the environment, building a resilient local economy, improving community consultation, saying no to rampant and inappropriate development, supporting our vibrant arts and music industries, getting a better deal for young people and the hinterland. ‘I will listen to and work with all groups across the whole Shire.’ ‘With over twenty years

involvement in supporting and building community locally, I believe I have the right experience.’ Mr Cameron was admitted as a solicitor in 2007 and is currently a member of Byron Shire Council’s Sustainability Committee, Community Groups Representative on the Tourism Advisory Panel, Treasurer for Goonengerry Landcare, Campaign Coordinator for TOOT (Trains On Our Tracks), and Vice-President of Northern Rivers Trains for the Future.

Mozzie plan Two Byron Shire doctors (one medico and one PhD) are calling for Byron Shire Council to provide a more proactive response to both the immediate threat posed from vector borne disease and the increased threat posed by climate change. GP David Moss of the Ocean Shores Medical Clinic and environmental political scientist Patrick Morrisey PhD of Goonengerry are concerned not enough is being done to explain to the public what the community at large and individuals can undertake to avoid being exposed to the spread of disease carried by mosquitoes. ‘Byron Shire Council has voted to act, but has not actually followed up and implemented its resolutions,’ said Dr Morrisey in a press release. ‘Byron Shire Council has resolved on four separate occasions in recent years to take action on mosquitoes, but it appears little is being implemented. ‘I was alerted to this when I made a phone call to Council’s Environmental Health OfďŹ cer who indicated that Council has no management plan for mosquito control even though Council has resolved on at least two occasions to develop management plans/policies.’ On the Far North Coast, Barmah Forest Virus (BFV) and Ross River Virus (RRV) are the mosquito-borne (arbo) viruses of major public health significance. Symptoms include u-like symp-

toms, tiredness, rash and fever. Rain patterns in the region this past seven months have resulted in increased local mosquito habitat. ‘I am very worried that the situation, with large numbers of people presenting with Ross River Fever and Barmah Forest Virus this year, will be repeated next year, or will be worse,’ Dr Moss said. ‘Council needs to respond and have an effective plan of prevention and education, in collaboration with the Area Health Service. So far it doesn’t.’ ‘Seasonally, we have a mosquito problem now and with climate change, the problem could get potentially far worse, if we don’t act,’ Dr Morrisey said. ‘There are practical actions Council could do now, but is not. ‘I encourage people to contact Council staff or Councillors to request a strategy is implemented as soon as possible – indeed I will be making it one of the issues that I will highlight as I intend to run for Council.’ Dr Morrisey said he has previously worked on mosquito control and disease preventative measures in malaria infected areas of Indonesia and is concerned some developing countries have better disease preventions programs than Australia.

candidate’s vision for Byron Shire, and want to hear how they plan to deal with speciďŹ c issues.’ Mr Ahern said candidates would be questioned principally on issues identiďŹ ed in a 2007 community survey commissioned by Council. These include roads, long term planning, public toilets, crime prevention, financial management, parking, bikeways, management of development, drainage and ood management, quality of town centre and public places, and tourism management. Mr Ahern said the local community deserved strong leadership and a clear, workable vision for the shire. He described Byron as a

‘microcosm of Australia’ that grappled daily with the broad issues of development, sustainability, tourism, infrastructure, environment, health and social wellbeing. ‘We are challenged by the different needs and wants of a diverse community. But within this challenge lies great opportunity to set benchmarks and demonstrate best practice in design, planning and management of our infrastructure and services.’ Mr Ahern said the Board of Byron United had developed a ‘wish list’ for Council that included: s GOOD GOVERNANCE TRANSparency and accountability; s A SAFER PLACE FOR RESIDENTS and visitors to enjoy; s AN END TO TRAFlC JAMS AND

Mullum to Bruns

hat began with a casual conversation at a take away food shop has swelled into a community event the likes of which we haven’t seen for a long time in this area. When Mullumbimby local Mehil Beckerman visited Brunswick Heads, he struck up a conversation with Leigh at Starfish Café while he was waiting for his order of world famous calamari. The two blokes got talking about running and keeping fit and how lucky they were to live in such a wonderful place, and the more they chatted the more the idea became embedded in Mehil’s head. Over the next few weeks the idea became concrete or rather bitumen and the Mullum to Bruns Run and Walk – Moving Towards Change movement was born. The idea of the run and walk is a double pronged vision of not only promoting health and wellbeing to people of all ages and fitness levels but to provide an outlet for community spirit and unity for worthy causes acting locally and nationally, with the proceeds of the event’s fundraising benefiting the Brunswick Valley Rescue Squad and Oxfam Australia, specifically targeting the Indigenous Australia projects. The event is also designed to cater for many fitness and ability levels providing a competitive event for those who like to get out there and win, while also being inclusive of those who like to jog and giggle or even stroll and gossip. The inaugural Mullum to Bruns Run and Walk gives people an opportunity to run 10 kilometres or walk 8.4 kilometres between Mullumbimby and Brunswick Heads.

The day’s event will start at 7.10am when the shuttle bus will transfer competitors from Brunswick Heads to Mullumbimby. Registration for the runners will be at the JPA Hall at Mullumbimby High School on Jubilee Avenue and for the walkers at Apex Park. At 8.30am both the runners and walkers will be under starters orders. The course will travel up Mullumbimby Road and out of town towards Uncle Tom’s, the course continues along Gulgan Road and will cross the highway over the bridge. On the Brunswick Heads side of the highway, runners and walkers will continue along Tweed Street before taking the cycling walking track into town and the finish line at the sound shell on The Terrace. There will be three drink stations along the way where participants can refresh themselves and take a break. There will be a prize draw at 11am, prizes include a $500 gift voucher from Crystal Castle, a 6 piece outdoor setting from Tropicana Imports, a night’s accommodation in the Domain Santai Resort at Casuarina Beach, a personal training sessions at Chisel Fitness, and a Sanctum pamper box valued. There will also be awards given to the first three male and female runners in six age divisions and all participants will receive a personalised certificate of completion via email.

Perfect wave hits Mullum

Fred Coblyn and his helpers Kachina and Michael Myers watch the surf roll by in the back yard.

Story & photo Eve Jeffery The perfect wave has travelled from the Mentawais to Mullumbimby and washed ashore in the back yard of inventor Fred Coblyn. Three years ago Fred Coblyn went to the Mentawai Islands for a vacation. While he was there he watched a video which was shot on the island and he has been on a mission ever since. ‘I was holidaying in the Mentawais and we just happened to be watching a video that was filmed there, Young Guns 2 (the surf version, not the western), and I noticed that the coral on the reef looked just like huge pipes laying beside each other and that’s where I got the idea.’ During the film there was an aerial shot taken from a helicopter showing Kelly Slater surfing over a coral reef called ‘Rifles’, the coral formed into crevices evenly spaced under a perfect bar-

rel. It was that shot that sent light bulbs popping in Fred’s brain and the idea for the wave pool was born. In theory you can surf a Mentawai wave in Mullum. ‘The only difference is that in the Mentawais you are surfing two metre waves over two feet of water, the blokes over there won’t let any but the best surfers go out. In my wave pool I have chopped the top of the reef off so the water will be deep water which makes a wipeout much safer.’ The small reef at Fred’s place is made from poly pipe and he uses the back wheel of his car with ropes and pulleys to move the water. The large scale models will use recycled conveyor belts from the mining industry. In the reefs he installs in the ocean nature will provide the force for the wave. There are other applications for the wave pool, Southport SLSC has shown

a great deal of interest in the pool for training purposes. The adjustable design of the wave can replicate a rip and future life savers would have the opportunity to practise in the relative safety of controlled conditions. Fred would love to see a half scale pool built in Mullum as a tourist attraction. He says it would produce a perfect surfable wave every time for those not brave enough to enter the ocean and would also create employment in the town. Fred, who has been surfing since 1962, built his first surfboard at high school. Fred says that he has a Brazilian company interested in the reef and he is seeking financial support to go commercial with his invention. If you would like to see the pool, visit www.youtube.com and type in ‘Fred’s wave’. If you would like to contact Fred email fredsisland@ linknet.com.au.

New open garden guide available The Guide to Australia’s Open Gardens for 2008-9 has just arrived into newsagents and ABC bookshops with information on over 600 of the finest private gardens opening to visitors during this year. The cover features one of Northern NSW’s best loved gardens, Peter and Carolyn Robinson’s ‘Glenrock’ at Tenterfield which will be open again in February 2009 as one of the 70 gardens selected across the region. More than just a directory, Australia’s Open Gardens contains feature articles on gardening trends written by experts. Germaine Greer proposes developers and town planners should allow for wildlife corridors when planning new suburbs.

Joyce Wilkie and Michael Plane of Allsun Farm, one of Australia’s most renowned organic enterprises, relate their journey in organic gardening. Meredith Kirton, presenter on ABC TV Gardening Australia talks about changing garden fashions. Television star and restaurant chef Stefano de Pieri tells how Mildura residents

are meeting climate change challenges and developing niche gourmet products. Illustrated with beautiful garden photos, the guide also lists specialist nurseries, regional gardening radio shows and special events such as drought tolerant planting and sustainable practice workshops. Australia’s Open Garden Scheme is a not-for profit, national organisation involving thousands of volunteers. It aims to promote the knowledge and pleasure of gardens by opening Australia’s most inspiring private gardens to the public. The Open Garden Scheme attracts a quarter of a million visitors annually. The Guidebook is also available online at www.opengarden.org.au.

GiveAway TICKETS TO MANDY I have a double pass to come and see me in my show at The Byron Services Club on Monday 11 August at 8pm. Email ‘she’ll be right mate’ to mandypow@echo. net.au and I’ll pick a winner! I’d love your best gag.

This year at Splendour locally based purveyors of indie punk rock, The Black Stars step foot on the Splendour stage. These guys have been going for just over five years, and what’s most interesting about them is that if you didn’t know who they were or where they were from you’d probably pick Melbourne. Or even Sydney. Not Byron. There’s no roots. There’s no bongos. And there’s definitely no dolphins. Regan Cross is the drummer who plugs away furiously behind the kit, and she acknowledges that as a woman in rock, it’s still seen as unusual to be behind the drums. ‘When I look back on women drummers, Karen Carpenter is the one that comes to mind, it’s always the topic of conversation, (me being a drummer) I think women in music in rock and roll are underrepresented, although

that is starting to change. I talk to drummers around here and I hear that young girls are learning the drums which is great because I think that women have good rhythms... and besides that it’s just so much fun.’ Being in a band isn’t all beer and roses. According to Regan: ‘There is a lot of hard work, rehearsing, playing, recording, lugging, travelling and then you get that 45 minutes on stage and it’s all worth it.’ The band has only recently released their second EP, an impressive five tracks co-produced in their own studio with Phil McKellar (Spiderbait, Grinspoon, The Dirty Three.) ‘We are currently working with new material to record with him late this year or early next year.’ The McKellar/Black Stars

relationship is going great guns. ‘We have really similar tastes in music, and we like what he did a few times, with the other bands he has produced.’ Finding the right producer is a bit like finding your musical soul mate. The wrong dude on the dials and the whole thing might as well go in the can. ‘I think it’s a huge thing,’ Regan agrees, ‘not just in terms of their skills and what they listen to, but also personality wise, he’s a cool guy – and you spend a lot of time in the studio. Recording sounds really romantic but it’s stressful – you are under huge time demands to get things how you wanted and to get it done in a limited time frame. ‘We were stoked with how Money or Your Life came together because we had our own studio, and we could muck around with the guitar

Life as a musician is what inspired the EP title. ‘To be a musician, you have to be prepared to work hard and be prepared to spend a fair bit of money I guess, and that’s where the title of the album came from. We live to play and if we work to finance it, then so be it. I think it would be impossible to repress or deny what you want to do.’ The Black Stars play Splendour in the Grass at the Supertop 12.10pm on Saturday.

22 July 29, 2008 Byron Shire Echo

I hurt my leg last week and now I’m on crutches. I’m sure it’s karmic for poking fun at the Pope. Did I tell you I saw him at the beach? He was at Watego’s with a 15 foot malibu, just kicking back for a few days after the big tour. It’s quite an awesome sight to see the Pope ride one in, particularly with his hat on. Of course the glass Pope case on top of the board does make it hard to paddle out, so instead the rescue chopper dropped him in the ocean and he waved all the way into shore. You never think about the Pope having downtime, but while he’s god’s dude on earth, the Popemeister still is a man. He still needs to kick back and rejuvenate. Imagine his Cardinal buddies having a word in his ear ‘Pope, mate, you’re going

Live Music GOOD BYE TO A TALENTED BROTHER On Tuesday July 22, singer songwriter Jesse Younan died in hospital in Sydney with his family at his side. He was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia in February and had been receiving treatment in hospital, during which time he displayed an incredible will to live. Jesse leaves behind his mother Nadia and father Tony, his brother Emad and his daughter Ella from a previous relationship. A self-taught musician, Jesse Younan started playing the

too hard, have a beer, take the day off. You’ll burn out like the last one. And look what happened to him!’ That probably explains why I saw him and George Pell lined up to get in at Cheeky Monkeys the other night. Apparently they had a top night, dancing on the tables and cracking some moves. A witness told me that after a few bevvies, the Pope likes to get down and bust a few hip hop moves. I think it’s fabulous that the Pope chose Byron as his secret location to relax. He had a top time. He was spotted in at the RSL on the pokies, which now will be renamed the popies. He didn’t really understand the rules and when he got three lemons he declared it an abomination. He was impressed with how generous pokie patrons guitar when he was six years old. His playing has been compared to guitarists such as Bert Jansch, Davey Graham and John Martyn. However, Jesse Younan’s sound is unique – a gorgeous fusion of folk, blues and the music he heard as a young boy. A gifted lyricist, his heartbreaking songs of love and struggle are carried by a distinctive, deep voice full of emotion. Jesse was very proud of his recent album A Good Day for a Migraine which he completed just days before being diagnosed with leukemia. He was ill while recording the album – although no one was aware of how seriously ill he was and just how much he had pushed himself. Jesse was determined to finish the album and have it released. Wellknown as a spellbinding performer, he was very much looking forward to

are in their continual act of selfless giving, and was inspired to put a few machines in some of the churches to see if they might update the old fashioned donation plate. Of course manufacturers will have to be approached, the Queen of The Nile will be replaced by Blessed Virgin Mary Queen of Heaven and who couldn’t resist putting a few bucks through ‘Mother Theresa Saint of the Gutters’? Popey was next spotted wandering into the Detox Lounge for a little colonic irrigation, he played drums in the park with the brothers and then got his hair braided outside the Byronian. The only time he looked like losing it was when he parked the Popemobile for more than 2 hours in Jonson Street and got a parking fine. I

saw him arguing with the Ranger saying stuff like ‘But I’m the fricking Pope! Do you know how hard it is to reverse park this thing?’ But to the Ranger’s credit, he was unswayed by power and wrote a ticket anyway. The Pope was sighted at the Writer’s Festival, looking for something ‘inspirational’, and later was doing book signings of the Bible in the Dymocks tent. I got mine, I’ll keep it forever ‘Dear Mandy, You’ll burn in Hell, Love, the Pope.’ He had an amazing couple of days. He even joined in on a Nimbin Tour where he declared the town to have ‘the best incense outside of Vatican city.’ He wanted to go to Splendour but felt that Devo were just too much competition in the silly hat department and he confessed that unless he

was headlining, he really had no interest in attending a gig. He had the shits with the organisers who refused to rename it ‘Pope in the Grass’. He declared he was the father of Pope Rock. Hip Pope. And that the eighties song had been ripped off from the Vatican and released without permission, it should have gone ‘Pope Pope Pope music...Pope Pope Pope Music.’ I waved him off on the bus this morning. Oh there were tears. He said he thought he’d found himself. Even considered changing his name. Goodbye sweet Pope. The morning sun caught on the Pontiff’s episcopal mitre (his stiff white hat) and blinded me for a second. And that’s when I fell. Now I limp for Jesus.

International saxophonist/ woodwind player, composer/ orchestrater and clinician Jacam Manricks will be performing at Blue Birdy at Liquid this Wednesday. Jacam is fast establishing himself as one of the most qualified artist/musicians in the world today. In 2007 he received his Doctor of Musical Arts from Manhattan School of Music, New York, as one of the first doctorate level graduates in the field of Jazz Composition. As a composer Jacam has written works for ensembles from five-piece to 30-piece, including string and

An acclaimed singer/ songwriter, the street press have compared her voice to Joni Mitchell or Tori Amos. Her debut album Gyan won a platinum award, an Aria award and her first single Wait is still the ultimate anthem for the lonely girl. Her work with Leunig is a sensitive and beautiful collaboration. She performs at the Star Court Theatre in Lismore on Friday at 8pm.

Since forming on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula five years ago, Carpathian have been an indestructible force on unstable ground. Hampered by incessant lineup changes they’ve managed to assert their dominance at the forefront of the local hardcore pack. They play the Byron High School on Wednesday.

CINEMA AND THEN SHE FOUND ME It’s always a worry when a movie starts with the star’s voice-over reciting an old wise tale, like ‘Grasshopper, ...’ In this case it’s a Jewish one and it is repeated at the close, just in case you didn’t get the point when you were force fed it the first time. Itts lesson is neither profoundly insightful nor oddball humorous, which perfectly reflects the hundred or so minutes that pass between its two airings. April (Helen Hunt) is a handwringing middle class New Yorker who, at thirty-nine, still hasn’t cracked it for that ultimate possession – a baby of her own. Her marriage busts up and her adoptive

Jewish mother carks it. Then her biological Mom (Bette Midler), a shikseh, turns up to reconnect and help sort out her personal life, while Frank (Colin Firth) is tentatively courting the miserable, selfabsorbed daughter. In films such as this, casting can be everything – or nothing, as the case may be. Midler, obviously roped in to provide flashes of saucy humour, is as flat as her jokes, though, in fairness, acting must be terribly difficult when you are handicapped by a face that has been so surgically worked over that it appears to be set in concrete. As Ben, April’s ex hubbie, Matthew Broderick looks too young and continues to give the impression that he has just been released for the weekend from his sheltered workshop. Colin Firth (Frank), enlisted as the thinking woman’s crumpet, is, once more, the diffident, put upon Englishman who, given the line ‘I think I’m falling in love with you,’ does well not to smirk at

the inanity (to think he was once the Mister Darcy). The writing helps nobody, being all over the place and getting bogged down again and again in unnatural, declamatory dialogue. And the scene in which Ben and April, in a sudden burst of post break-up lust, go for it in the back seat of April’s car, in broad daylight with their legs sticking out of the open back door, is simply preposterous. Hunt herself looks awful – scrawny, pale and in need of a good feed. Presumably, as director, that was a deliberate decision, in order perhaps to elicit more sympathy for the character. I didn’t give a jot for April’s plight and desperately wanted somebody to tell her to ‘get over it!’ Her sweet enlightenment in the final shot is so begrudgingly arrived at as to make it almost pointless. ~ John Campbell

THE X-FILES: I WANT TO BELIEVE I must admit, I’m partial to a good head-in-the-bag movie (sadly, it wasn’t Helen Hunt’s). Not having been part of The X-Files audience when the TV series was braining it in the nineties, I did not know what to expect from its resurrection to the big screen. But the reputation it had for being weird in The Twilight Zone way is not quite lived up to here, the story being straightforward, if kinky, and not as mysterious as it endeavours to be – too much is flagged early for there to be spine chilling surprises. But it is a good yarn nonetheless.

log cabin recluse, while she is working as a surgeon in a private hospital. Both are recalled to duty to help find an abducted agent. Also on the case is the psychic, defrocked Father Joe Crissman (Billy Connolly). The bad guys are mad Russian scientists, and if that sounds passé you can rest assured that the writers have otherwise kept apace with contemporary issues, in this case stem cell research and paedophilia (when a Catholic priest, Crissman had a long history of buggering boys). It gets confusing at times – for the life of me, I couldn’t understand why it had to be women’s bodies that the Ruskies needed to attach to their blokes’ severed heads (like I said, it’s kinky) – but it builds to a decent climax and, in the sub-plot concerning the sick kid, a touching enigma. Mulder doesn’t do much in the investigation, other than urge that Crissman be taken seriously, but he is drawn to peril and Duchovny is convincing in portraying his broody integrity. Anderson is limited, but she is terrific at doing worried, which is a good thing, for she is as worried as anything all the way through. The abductors are horrorshow and the scientists latter day Boris Karloffs. Best of all is the lab where they are doing their dastardly experiments. Hidden in the snowbound woods and guarded by slavering rotties, it’s the sort of place where you’d usually find mongrel bikies cooking up batches of the latest hideous amphetamine concoction. It feels a bit like an extended television episode (ads would not have been out of place), but there is a pleasing non-reliance on humungous SFX and fans are unlikely to be disappointed. ~ John Campbell

variety of landscapes, or such extremes of hot and cold. We wouldn’t have the changing seasons. And most importantly, we wouldn’t have the perfect conditions for life. Using the Sun as a guide, we setout on a truly global journey. On the way, we meet three mothers struggling to bring up their young. In the Arctic, a polar bear family awakens to the first sunlight of spring. Will they find food before the ice on which they live melts? Half a world away, in the heat of the Kalahari, an elephant mother and her calf find water after a dangerfilled trek across the desert. But they just share the pool

with a pride of lions. Will their uneasy truce last? For the final leg of the journey, we follow a humpback whale mother. She must keep her calf safe on their 6,000 km migration from the equator to Antarctica. And so life on Earth goes on. A story played out billions of times a day, 365 days a year, as the Earth moves through the seasons, every living creature bending to the power of the Sun. No film before has ever captured the epic scope of the drama of an entire planet, yet told it with heart-breaking and heart-warming intimacy of real animal characters. ~ Lounge Cinema

EARTH Earth is a documentary that uses the most advanced film-making methods ever developed and takes us on a tour of our home as we’ve never seen it before. Five billion years ago, a massive asteroid crashed into the young Earth. The impact was so great that it tilted the entire planet at an angle of twenty-three and a half degrees. But far from being a catastrophe, this cosmic accident was crucial to creating life and the world as we know it today. Without the Earth’s tilt, we wouldn’t have such a spectacular

Television Guide 1. Calendar Girls (Prime, Saturday 10pm) delivers wry British comedy with a splendid ensemble cast. 2. Samuel L Jackson and Eugene Levy are renowned for their portrayals of, respectively, tough guys and confused guys, and they do not disappoint in The Man (NBN, Saturday 9.30pm). 3. This is Tina Fey, who writes and stars in 30 Rock (Prime, Monday 11.30pm). Prime has a history of buying great American sitcoms and then burying them at 11.30pm on Monday nights. Think Scrubs, think Arrested Development. 30 Rock is the latest victim of a programmer’s deďŹ cient sense of humour.

EVEN STEVENS A few quick questions with Even. What are Even up to at the moment? About to embark on the Victorian leg of our Sister Rock National Tour. After these dates we play Splendour in the Grass then join Paul Weller for his shows in Melbourne. No sleep til’ Brooklyn. What are you looking forward to playing Splendour (at??) this year? Air guitar to ‘Whip it’ when Devo are playing! Oh... and all the songs from our current album. Naylor and Cotter have been playing together since high school... is it a bit like finding your musical soul mate? Have you ever thought of, dare I say it, playing around? Yes, with hindsight I suppose one could say it is like having found musical soul mates. I crash at other band’s houses but Even will always be my home. What music from the 60’s and 70’s particularly influences you? All of it. Do you think you have a distinctly Melbourne sound? I’d be honoured to think so as it is the musical capital of the universe. What’s happening on the album front right now? We are pleased to announce we are pregnant with out sixth album, due mid 2009!

SMALL TALK WITH GYROSCOPE (according to Brad) What are Gyroscope up to at the moment? We are just about to head off on the ‘Australia’ tour… 36 shows in 51 days with legends Shihad and Sugar Army… Good times ahead! Why do you think Perth is such hot bed for grunge rock?..or would you say punk? I’d say it’s a hot bed for all types of music.. And I put it down to the distance we keep from major label scouts. It gives young bands the chance to work out how to write songs and play live before getting snapped up

by the first interested AnR guy. What factors do you credit with breaking Gyroscope into a wider market? Constant touring. A passion for making and playing music. Belief in yourself What’s happening on the album front right now? We are already writing songs for the next one. We want to get another one out as soon as we can. What are you looking forward to doing when you are in Byron? Heading up to the lighthouse and checking out Sigur Ros at Splendour. Who are you planning to see play at Splendour? Sigur Ros, The Music, Cold War Kids, The Living End, PNAU, The Vines,

Some Splendour safety tips t 4QMFOEPVS JT TPME PVU TP EPO U HFU desperate and try and jump the fence.

Splendour bender agenda This Saturday and Sunday see the impressive Splendour lineup make their way to the Big Top at Belongil Fields. I’d be lying if I didn’t say the eighties art student in me wasn’t slightly titillated about the prospect of a group of old men in overalls and plastic hats singing ‘whip it’ or ‘we are Devo’. Does creative nostaglia translate so many years on? I suppose we can only find out when Devo headline on Saturday. The lineup features original members Bob Mothersbaugh (Bob 1) Bob Casale (Bob 2), Gerald V. Casale, Mark Mothersbaugh and Josh Freese on drums. Who knows, new wave, which is now old wave, may just make a comeback. The closing show on Sunday is Splendour favourite Wolfmother. Their rise to the top of the Aussie music scene is now legendary, but the rest of the world has also taken notice with the band scoring the Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance in 2007 for their song Woman. On July 7, 2007 they performed on the Australian leg of the global Live Earth concerts in Sydney and just a few weeks ago played their first gig in nearly a year at the Gallery of Modern Art in Brisbane closing the Andy Warhol Up Late program. We all know how the very dead Mr Warhol loved rock stars. One of the acts that is a must see for anyone

with a penchant for Radiohead styled rock is Sigur Ros, the ethereal Icelancic sensation. With four albums so far and a new one on the way the band found their feet with their second album , the masterpiece that is ‘Agaetis Byrjun’. Off the back of live performances that had critics falling over themselves trying to find superlatives to describe them, they attracted acclaim back in 2000. Flicking through the alphabetised racks of your local CD emporium you’ll find that releases from Aussie electro wizards The Presets fit snugly between Pet Shop Boys and Elvis Presley. Could there be some weird universal synergy to this? The strident beat of the heart and the swagger of the hips: it’s at the musical cross point of emotive technological peaks and primal caveman rock that one finds with a band like The Presets. One of the acts that I am looking forward to seeing is Renaissance man, Tricky. He gained prominence with his debut album that all but defined the trip-hop genre. Tricky has come to be recognised as one of the vanguards of a new musical revolution. Influenced as much by torchlight jazz as the beats of hip-hop, his style has literally opened the door to numerous artists that fill the electronica

landscape. Pnau have come of age with their third self-titled album. The duo of Nick Littlemore and Pete Mayes, who have often been considered the enfant terribles of the Australian music community have won the respect of their peers and the loyalty of their fans by consistently producing simple, intelligent hooks, fat sounds and awesome imagery. On Pnau, you will not only hear Nick’s vocal talents, you’ll also hear their work with Luke Steele from The Sleepy Jackson – a match made in heaven. Splendour is a smorgasboard, and there’s literally something to suit nearly every musical quirk. Operator Please wield the musical bat to a little pop ping pong, Australia’s answer to Soulwas, Van She, The Vines return, along with The Panics, Gyroscope and Leeds lads, the Music. They were my pick of the festival about 5 years ago, or was it 4? They had that Led Zepplinesque type way of holding the stage in post-Brit pop, rock. If there is such a thing. Sometimes when I’m writing these things I feel the curious desire to just make musical terms up. Have a great time at Splendour, enjoy the mayhem, the mania and of course... the music!

EVEN STEVENS A few quick questions with Even. What are Even up to at the moment? About to embark on the Victorian leg of our Sister Rock National Tour. After these dates we play Splendour in the Grass then join Paul Weller for his shows in Melbourne. No sleep til’ Brooklyn. What are you looking forward to playing Splendour (at??) this year? Air guitar to ‘Whip it’ when Devo are playing! Oh... and all the songs from our current album. Naylor and Cotter have been playing together since high school... is it a bit like finding your musical soul mate? Have you ever thought of, dare I say it, playing around? Yes, with hindsight I suppose one could say it is like having found musical soul mates. I crash at other band’s houses but Even will always be my home. What music from the 60’s and 70’s particularly influences you? All of it. Do you think you have a distinctly Melbourne sound? I’d be honoured to think so as it is the musical capital of the universe. What’s happening on the album front right now? We are pleased to announce we are pregnant with out sixth album, due mid 2009!

SMALL TALK WITH GYROSCOPE (according to Brad) What are Gyroscope up to at the moment? We are just about to head off on the ‘Australia’ tour… 36 shows in 51 days with legends Shihad and Sugar Army… Good times ahead! Why do you think Perth is such hot bed for grunge rock?..or would you say punk? I’d say it’s a hot bed for all types of music.. And I put it down to the distance we keep from major label scouts. It gives young bands the chance to work out how to write songs and play live before getting snapped up

by the first interested AnR guy. What factors do you credit with breaking Gyroscope into a wider market? Constant touring. A passion for making and playing music. Belief in yourself What’s happening on the album front right now? We are already writing songs for the next one. We want to get another one out as soon as we can. What are you looking forward to doing when you are in Byron? Heading up to the lighthouse and checking out Sigur Ros at Splendour. Who are you planning to see play at Splendour? Sigur Ros, The Music, Cold War Kids, The Living End, PNAU, The Vines,

ARIES: Spending’s usually more your thing than saving, but you could get really inspired and excited by the potential of this week’s new money management plans to revamp your ďŹ nancial landscape. Consult with others rather than making all the decisions yourself.

GEMINI: If you’re into the thrill of the moment (and what Gemini isn’t?) this is your week – though it could easily have you committing to more than you can deliver. So before making impulsive offers, be advised that expectations are high and cancellations won’t be taken lightly. CANCER: This week reacquaints even the most stay-at-home Cancerian with their inner party animal. It’s a high energy time for getting messy areas of your life into line, and a blast from the past could reappear to resolve some unďŹ nished business. Or continue it... LEO: This Wednesday’s unbeatable for self promotion: whatever your charismatic Majesty’s selling, others will want. If Friday’s solar eclipse momentarily dims your brilliance, could you care less

VIRGO: Yes, others are being arrogant, extravagant and exaggerating, but criticism’s still best kept in your head because right now praise works better than complaints. This week road tests your people skills in being a friend who can draw the line between enough and too much. LIBRA: Impetuous Mars hot to trot while sensible Saturn cautions Wait! illustrates this week’s astropicture. You’re vulnerable to eye catching visuals right now, and if you fall hard for a gorgeous someone or something, at least try not to rack up too much credit debt. SCORPIO: Others are contradictory this week? Don’t bother commenting, because they won’t be listening – just align yourself with whichever part of their equation works for you. A red hot social calendar has you on the run, but remember that too much multitasking makes you accident prone. SAGITTARIUS: Present ďŹ ery vibes can make you reactive to perceived slights, so avoid spontaneous combustion

which could damage your image in this week’s statusconscious world. That said, its upside brightens your perspective, heightens your star quality and attracts some hot new admirers to Planet Sag. CAPRICORN: Like this week’s birthday boy Mick Jagger sings, you can’t always get what you want no matter how hard you work. But you can get what you need. Which this week is getting physical. Don’t have time? Find time. Too tired? You, a Capricorn‌? AQUARIUS: Waterpourers are often way out ahead of current thinking, and this week you’re ďŹ rst to see the light on emerging trends and current ďŹ nancial realities. Plus you’ll ďŹ nd the present astroclimate highly appreciative of your enterprising spirit, creative thinking and wild style. PISCES: This week applauds creative inspirations and bold moves so if something spontaneously feels like a good idea, be conďŹ dent and do it. With present aspects favouring a glamour puss look, go ahead and knock their socks off, but Friday’s edgy energies will need tactful handling.

Froehlich in a world rated tournament. Zhao will follow up his Coffs Harbour triumph with a trip to Brazil next month for a high level grandmaster tournament. Zhao already holds the record as the only player to win the first two grandmaster tournaments of his career; to add a third title in Sao Paulo would establish a record unlikely ever to be broken. Meanwhile, worldwide all eyes are on Biel, Switzerland, where 17-year-old Magnus Carlsen is attempting to overtake Viswanathan Anand as the world number one. Carlsen, who will meet Anand over the board at a rapid tournament in Germany next week, started well in Biel but was briefly upstaged by the following upset in the Masters Open, where Malaysia’s number one defeated an estab-

lished Russian GM in spectacular style. Biel Open 2008 White: H Mas Black: M Ulibin Opening: Sicilian Defence 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 e6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 a6 5.Bd3 Bc5 6.Nb3 Be7 7.0-0 d6 8.Qe2 Nd7 9.f4 Qc7 10.c4 Ngf6 11.Nc3 b6 12.Bd2 Bb7 13.Rae1 h5!? A typical advance, creating a square for the f6 knight should White advance with 14.e5. 14.Kh1 h4 15.Nd4 g6 16.b4! A new move, taking more squares from the Black pieces; previously 16.f5 had been tried and failed. Now Ulibin seeks counterplay but this only serves to give White the breakthrough opportunity he has been waiting for. 16...Nh5 17.Kg1 Bf6?! 18.e5! dxe5 19.Nxe6! Qd6 If 19...fxe6, 20.Bxg6 wins. 20.Nd5!! fxe6 21.Bxg6+ Kd8 22.Nxf6 Nhxf6 23.fxe5 ‘And wins,’ thought Mas, but Ulibin has prepared an ingenious defence. 23...Qd4+! 24.Be3 Qg4! (See diagram)

Suddenly Black has counterplay – and an extra piece – but Mas is up to the challenge. 25.Rxf6!! Nxf6 26.exf6! Qxe2 If 26...Qxg6, 27.Bxb6 leads to checkmate. However now White’s attack continues into the endgame. 27.Rxe2 Kc7 28.Bf4+ e5 29.Bxe5+ Kd7 30.Bf5+ Ke8 31.Bg6+ Kd7 32.Bf7! Raf8? 32...Bc6 was the only hope, though with 8 moves to complete in 18 seconds to avoid a loss on time, Black’s hopes were slim in any case. 33.Rd2+ 1-0

Zhao Zong Yuan celebrated his selection as Australia’s number one Olympian in style this week, winning the Coffs Harbour Open with a perfect score. The local boy made good received a special award at the start of the tournament for his achievement in becoming Australia’s third grandmaster and Zhao responded by winning all seven games in the tournament in emphatic style. Only the second seed, Australian Champion Stephen Solomon, was able to cause Zhao difficulties, but their key fifth round game was decided by Zhao’s superior speed skills when each player was reduced to 10 seconds per move. Solomon’s title challenge then faded completely when he was outplayed in the next round by 12-year-old rising star Gene Nakauchi – who later in the week took a second International Master scalp by defeating his coach Peter

Mullum teams making the grade in FNC and State Finals Mullum High under 15s Rygby League The Mullumbimby High School under 15s Rugby League team have recently put their stamp on the Far North Coast division of the Country Rigby League. The team whose players hale from year eight through to year eleven, came out on top of the heap in the FNC region and will now give some stick to the lads in the CRL North Coast Finals this week at Coffs Harbour. The boys have a bit of an edge as most of them play together for the Mullum Giants in the weekend competition, this has had the distinct advantage of building strong bonds and confidence in each other for support on the field. If the boys are successful in Coffs they will continue on to the State Finals in Dubbo later in the year. The team is looking for sponsorship as the costs of transport and accommodation are mounting. They are also planning on getting a new set of team jerseys. Anyone who would like to help out the local boys can contact Ron Land at the high school on 6684 2600.

The most important thing in team bowls is for the other members of the team to lift their game to cover players in the situation when someone has an off day. The players also feel that the positive support from the team’s skipper is a big factor in Mullum’s winning season. The Mullum team also has another secret weapon – the average age of the players is 50 but the fifteen member team has an age spectrum that begins with Scotty Lumsdem at 19 years of age and crosses two genIt’s a big week for Mullumbimby sports teams.

Surfing Mums Inc.

“Well listen to a story ‘bout a football team. We come from Federal and from Mullum-bimby. “We are the Moonshiners and we take to the field – kicking and hollerin’, our bellies full of beer, Moonshine that is, sweet Mary Jane. Kicks your boots off!” (sing to the tune of Beverly Hillbillies). The Echo was only three years old, and a completely different paper than it is today, when 20 years ago the Moonshiners Rugby Union Club was formed behind the Federal General Store. Twenty years of cheers, beers, tears, four premierships, eleven divorces and the Moonshiners still hold the ‘Ashes’ from Byron Bay. Numerous committee meetings, personalities and lost brain cells. Dave Webber walks in the canefields of Broadwater, Keiran Kelly cross dressing at the Winsome Hotel, Mitch Lambert being Mitch Lam-

Federal Store, Chincogan Tavern (RIP), Middle Pub, Mullum Leagues, Eltham Hotel,Victory Hotel, the Billi – what Moonshiner hasn’t donated a kidney to science? The best player? – Peter Prince, Kev Mulcahy, Greg Price, Phil Clarke, Kev Berry, Darren Gray, Nick Pernin, Michael Jordan, Sati Siamoa -– who knows! The 20 year anniversary game is on this Saturday afternoon against Ballina at Brunswick Heads. Dinner at 6pm ($40 per head) at Billinudgel Hotel.

The All Girls Surfriders held their Hard Core Winter Surf Prize Round on Sunday at Lennox Beachies. As the air temperature plummeted the surf stayed a fairly consistent 1m with some bigger sets. A great show by hardy club members saw some great competition. Congratulations to the finalists: Junior Beginner 1st Ashlee Spence, 2nd Leesha Preiser,

of rivals each clambering for top spot. There is a natural season among the men and this is, as in any society, helpful for the spirit of cooperation and the masters and apprentices within the tightly knit group. The team members support and sustain each other through verbal encouragement and positive body language. These are winning tactics and very important tools in team bowls. This spirit of kinship has served them well and the team will travel to Tumut next weekend to represent Zone 1 in the New South Wales State Titles in the Grade 3 Division. The group will compete against fifteen other zones over the course of the three day tournament and they are hoping to bring home the pennant for the club and for Mullumbimby.

A cold Sunday arvo with Jekyll and Hyde

Netball on the North Coast

John Campbell Byron Bay’s hopes of being the Retravision Northern League minor premiers were dashed in a Jekyll and Hyde performance that saw them defeated 16-19 by Grafton Ghosts on Sunday. The top of the table clash was never going to be a stroll in the park and both sides showed signs of nervousness by knocking on in the first thirty seconds – the Ghosts from the kick-off and the Bay from the resumption. The visitors’ approach is unembellished and ungenerous. Byron gave up a try when failing to defuse a bomb, but eventually they got into their stride and began to bend the line of the comp’s most resilient defence through the straightforward method of taking it up the guts. The red forwards were gaining the ascendancy and, with astute kicking from half Jared De Thierry and full back Ryan O’Connell, the Devils looked fluent and threatening. Sustained pressure led to centre Clarence Kelly darting over from dummy half and a couple of sets later he was involved in the leadup to five-eighth Tobin Cupples’s try. And it was that little bloke Kelly again who collected a beautiful pass from lock Mick Lambert before slipping a one-hander to winger Duane Cahill for the Devils’ third. Within twelve minutes it was Byron 16-4. Then Mister Hyde came a callin’. Poor ball control and silly penalties resulted in posses-

sion and field position swinging the Ghosts’ way. Their big number three, a handful all day, scored to make it 16-10 and the chill in the air more noticeable. ‘Fire up Byron!’ was the call from the outer in the second stanza, but it was the other mob who settled into the grind of finals type football. Byron stuck to their guns - there is no doubting their bottle - but they struggled to get off the back foot. The Ghosts just kept coming and, making fewer mistakes, drew level. Byron might have broken the deadlock with a field goal, but fate was with Grafton, you could feel it. They got the onepointer and were awarded yet another penalty in front of the sticks at the death. It was all too much for on

disgruntled punter. ‘You still have to live in Grafton!’ he heckled. Uncharitable but fair was the consensus as the penalty was converted. The Ghosts took what chances came their way and were more disciplined – they are the side to beat for the title. The Red Devils remain well placed for a top three finish, but they have learnt a valuable lesson. What they can’t do is develop a complex about the ref, even though a couple of piggyback penalties awarded to Grafton were killers. Instead, they must absorb the ancient wisdom that footy is as much about what happens between the ears as on the field, swallow that bitter mea culpa pill and purge themselves of their Hydean tendencies.

North Coast Academy of Sport (NCAS) is seeking applications for its Netball 15s Talented Athlete Program (TAP). The TAP squad concept has been developed by Netball NSW and the 11 regional academies throughout NSW in response to Netball Australia’s introduction last year of an Australian 17 and Under Team. This state-wide approach will ensure that current 15 year old girls from all areas of NSW, will have a structured development pathway that identifies and develops those with the most potential to progress to higher level state squads, and ultimately, the Australian 17 and Under Team. Once selected, the NCAS 15s TAP Squad will train with its current squad in preparation for the 2008 NSW Netball 15TAP Tournament to be held in late October 2008 in Sydney. This tournament will be used to identify and select a squad to become members of the Netball NSW 15s Talented Athlete Program.

Additionally, Netball NSW selectors will, from their observations made at this tournament, and their player review notes made at the State Age Championships, select three specific development squads, namely the 15 Years Talent Identification Squad, the Highly Commended Squad and the Tall Timbers squad. To be eligible for selection, athletes must be female, born in 1993 (i.e. turning 15 in 2008) and a current player of a local North Coast netball club and affiliated with a netball association that underpins NCAS. Applications close on Friday 15th August 2008 and must be made on the specific application form available from www.ncas.org.au

Brunswick SLSC announces Try-athlon 2008 The Brunswick SLSC has set September 28 for the running of this year’s Tryathlon. The date will coincide with the start of the school holidays and the SLSC patrol season. This year the cycle course has been improved and competitors can expect to travel

a much more picturesque route through the streets of Brunswick Heads than has been the case in previous Try-athlons. This is one of the major fundraising events on the SLSC calendar and is a family fun day aimed at promoting health and fitness and

having a ‘try’ rather than being an elite event for the professionals on the triathlon circuit and organisers are pleased with the growing popularity of the event as it gives the SLSC an opportunity to season. Watch this space for more info about the event.

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

Probus meeting Brunswick Valley Probus Combined Club will meet on Tuesday August 5, 10am at the Ocean Shores Country Club. Our guest speaker

At our monthly meeting on Monday August 4 at 7pm in the Anglican Church Byron Street Lennox Head we are devoting the first part of our meeting to discussion about lack of adequate roading infrastructure in the North Creek Road area with 5 new developments either under construction or about to be constructed. We have expressed our concern and suggested that the Council should be meeting with the developers to sort out this problem before more development begins. As this has not happened we have arranged for representatives of Elevation, Petrac, Indigo and the Henderson land

plus a Council representative to be in attendance. If roads are not constructed or upgraded people are going to find that their quiet residental streets become highways with construction vehicles followed by the increase in traffic from the new residents of the development. Any non members who are concerned are invited to attend the meeting.

As of our publication date, only 46 more sleeps to the Council election on September 13, and you have only until 6pm on August 4 to enrol to vote. See more online at www.elections.nsw. gov.au. As has been frequently noted, if you don’t bother voting, don’t bother complaining. You can read letters on the subject on page 18 and a few forays by candidates and interest groups on page 19. ■ ■ ■ ■ While you’re waiting for the end of the world as we know it, check out www.greenfest.com.au for the event coming up in Brisbane in October. It’s free and offers the punter the presence of Jane Goodall, music, food, film and much more. It’s on the South Bank – what a great location for large festivals! ■ ■ ■ ■ Magdelena the Samba dancer’s private farewell party for her students and friends was mistakenly printed as a public workshop in Seven last week. Please don’t turn up unless you are invited, and please note, don’t send pri-

vate invitations to journalists if they are not intended for publication! ■ ■ ■ ■ A reader advises us that Tata Motors in India is developing a car that runs on compressed air. See a news report at www.greencarcongress. com/2007/02/tata_motors_ sig.html. And for an unusual take on other alternative power sources visit the Electric Drag Racing Association at www.nedra.com. ■ ■ ■ ■ The great cracker incident. A reader alerted us to this blog http://scienceblogs.com/ pharyngula/2008/07/its_a_ goddamned_cracker.php which only goes to reinforce the value of scepticism. ■ ■ ■ ■ Our debauchery desk editor Horatio Bitemark notes: ‘A chap has to be satisfied with a British judge awarding Max Mosley, son of the fascist leader Sir Oswald Mosley (bouquets to the monarchy for knighting a renegade), stonking great damages against News of the World for revealing details of the chap’s private life, which amounted to a spot of sado-

masochism in the customary black leather. If a chap can’t carry on with, say, rubber gloves and yoghurt in peace, then what’s the world coming to? Justice Eady has assured the right of your

typical Tory MP to dress in a plastic raincoat and gas mask in the company of his favourite au pair without the intrusion of the media, which have an especially prurient interest in such matters.’
