Heroes in ight at Arts Expo

Story & photo Eve Jeffery Catharina Sauerland has her nagging mother to thank for her entry in the Ocean Shores Arts Expo. On the due date for entries, Catharina submitted her piece ‘Heart Of A Hero’ into this year’s new Arts Expo section sculpture and was amazed when she found out she has won second prize. Catharina’s sculpture was one of a record 180 works entered by 160 artists in a show that is coming of age. Five years has seen the gradual and organic evolution of the Arts Expo whose aim is to provide an opportunity for the Ocean Shores community members to participate in a local cultural event. It encourages an evolving

sense of community while at the same time creating an opportunity for artists of all ages to be involved in an art show. Organisers feel that the quality of work is creating a buzz and that this show has ďŹ nally put the Ocean Shores show on the art map. Artist and organiser of Bangalow’s Art on Sunday, David Arrowsmith, was very impressed with the expo. ‘This is my third year at the show,’ said Mr Arrowsmith. ‘Ocean Shores has raised the bar in terms of quality. I can’t pick a favourite work, I’ve got about six! ‘The judging panel was fair, square and egalitarian. I am betting that other public exhibitions will be taking a leaf out of the

Ocean Shores book.’ About 200 art lovers gathered at the community centre on Friday night for the opening of the show and to see the presentation of awards with prize money totalling $3500. This year’s theme was ‘Belonging’ and the winners of the ďŹ ve categories created works with this in mind. Catharina’s ceramic piece is a sculpture of the torso of a superhero with the visible heart containing a tiny super hero child bursting through the breastplate. ‘Heart of a Hero is about Super Man with a vulnerability; the need to nurture the child within,’ she said. ‘Belonging comes from this vulnerability.’

Billibong puzzles locals Eve Jeffery Concern is mounting for missing postal worker Karen who disappeared in the vicinity of the Billinudgel Billabong early last week. The Billi Billabong, or perhaps Billibong, which is a growing feature of the town landscape, is well known as being responsible for the disappearance of several cars in recent years but the postie is the ďŹ rst know human victim of the devilish waters. Postal manger Sue Stirton is very concerned for the safety of Karen and others who may venture too close to the billabong. ‘The biggest problem is the crocagators who have recently inhabited the pond,’ said Ms Stirton last Friday. ‘Heavens above! I was in fear of my life. ‘We got some chooks from Ken at the pub and managed to keep the crocs at bay until Bindi and Bob junior came and took them away. I am planning to head up to the Australia Zoo myself in the next few weeks to learn to wrangle the creatures and maybe start my own croc farm right here in the main street of Billi.’ The pond which is about ten metres long and four metres wide is slowly encroaching on the main drag and when the rain does stop is takes days for the water to dry up. ‘The council did come

and tar over it earlier this year so the hole no longer went through to China, but we don’t have any drainage and it ďŹ lled up again. ‘We did come up with an idea that we could fence it and turn it into the Billi Pool. A twelve metre diving tower would have made a

nice addition to the street, but since then one of the crocs regurgitated Karen’s boot and no-one is game to go into the water.’ ■Contribute tales of the Billibong on the forums section of our website – www.echo.net.au

Draft local environmental plan for Shire up before Councillors Byron Shire Councillors will consider the long-awaited draft Local Environmental Plan (LEP) at their planning meeting this Thursday August 14. Council’s Director of Planning, Development and Environment Services, Ray

Darney, said a huge amount of work had been done by Council planners to get to the position where the plan could be considered by Councillors before being forwarded to the Department of Planning to determine whether the plan can

be exhibited for input by the community. Mr Darney said Council planners have been preparing the new plan since June 2006, and in this two year period some substantial changes in direction by State Planning had caused changes

in direction for the LEP process and some time delays. Some of the key issues that have been addressed in the new plan include defined oor space ratios, secondary dwellings, coastal hazard areas, rezoning of the super-

market site at Mullumbimby, business zone for Jonson Street south, hospital rezoning on Ewingsdale Road and some land releases at Bangalow. Mr Darney said he had not supported a rezoning to business of a residential site

on Broken Head Road, Suffolk Park, adjacent to the BP Service Station. It was considered that residential use as per its current zone was more advantageous than to move to a commercial rezoning for a supermarket. continued on page 2

Byron Shire Mayor Jan Barham launched The Greens campaign for election last Saturday at Brunswick Heads. Cr Barham said she was proud of the achievements of the Greens councillors on the Byron Shire council, particularly their record of ďŹ nancial management and the capital works that can be undertaken now that the council has cleared the debt of many years. ‘After many years of careful ďŹ nancial management, the Council is now investing in major works,’ Mayor Barham said in a press release. She pointed to the completion of the sewerage plants for Byron Bay and Bangalow, Mullumbimby Civic Hall, the extension of the Myocum tip, the repair of roads and bridges and the planning and funding in place for new projects such as the Byron Bay library as achievements ‘Council has also taken a lead on climate change, reduced legal expenditure and court battles as well as delivering more efďŹ cient services for assessing development applications,’ said Cr Barham. ‘It’s unfortunate that some projects have not been delivered in this term

of council but there has been signiďŹ cant work completed and a commitment to progress community priorities. ‘Council has recently released for consultation a Northern Shire Sporting Fields Draft Strategy, a Bikeway Plan, Cultural Plan and has ďŹ nalised the Draft Tourism Management Plan. I am committed to follow through on the delivery of these important projects as well as works such as Helen Street footbridge, Byron Library, Suffolk Park Childcare Cen-

tre and the Brunswick Valley STP. ‘The Greens team for the elections features experienced councillors, Crs Tabart, Staples and myself and welcomes Simon Richardson, a younger but experienced campaigner. Simon will bring new energy and passion to the council and as a local high school teacher has a strong focus on youth issues. ‘I feel very proud of the team and our shared commitment to the shire.’

Meet the candidates In related news the Community Action Network (CAN) has organised a Meet The Candidates event at the newly renovated Mullumbimby Civic Hall for Saturday August 23, 4pm7pm. ABC Radio identity Mick O’Regan will be moderator. Drinks, nibbles and interacting with the community will also be available. All candidates are invited to attend. RSVP required by contacting joannelangton@ iinet.net.au.

Draft Shirewide LEP comes to Councillors From front page

One issue not addressed in the new plan was that of holiday letting of houses in residential zones, although this can still be reconsidered by Council when they debate the draft plan. An impor tant issue addressed in the draft LEP is that of coastal hazards. This is especially relevant following recent court decisions in Victoria and NSW about the importance of considering climate change and coastal storm impacts in planning. Consideration by planners of the Byron Shire Biodiver-

200 Jobs in 100 Days! 4th August to 12th November

sity Strategy has led to some rural areas being zoned E2 Environmental Conservation, while at Bayside Brunswick Heads the strategy has led to a decrease in area available for residential development. Areas at Lilli Pilli and the Cypress Pine area at Suffolk Park have been zoned a new zone ‘E4 Environmental Living’, which allows for a dwelling while acknowledging the special biodiversity attributes of the areas. As well as the Biodiversity Strategy, another important initiative in the plan is Affordable Housing provi-

sions. These included oor space ratio bonus for development that entered into a Voluntary Planning Agreement for a contribution to affordable housing. Council will also be able to consider affordable housing opportunities in residential and business zones. In addition, it has been recommended that secondary dwellings be allowed in some residential and rural zones. This provision is aimed at providing a rental opportunity for a second dwelling, without having any right to subdivide. Mr Darney said that while

he hoped Council would approve the plan so it could be forwarded to the Department of Planning for review by their legal section, he could understand that Council might want further time to consider the planning provisions incorporated in the plan. ‘Councillors might also consider the option to defer sending the plan to the Department until after the local government elections in early September, so the new Council could consider the plan and its implications,’ Mr Darney said. ■Comment, page 10

Big hopes for Bruns skate park Story & photo Eve Jeffery Youth Week in April 2009 is the pot at the end of the rainbow for skaters in the north of the shire. At a meeting on Saturday of skaters, parents, councillors current and prospective and Brunswick Heads Chamber or Commerce members, chamber president Matthew Denehy announced that with all things going to plan, the Brunswick Heads skate park will open just before Easter next year. Council will look at the operations plan in August and the design will hopefully be ready for public exhibition by October. If ground can be broken in February the autumn school holidays will ďŹ nally see the park being used on the land already approved at the sports ďŹ elds on Tweed Street.

together. It is important that we clear all the obstacles now so we can get this happening. We want signiďŹ cant interest from everyone concerned so the park can open in Youth Week.’ To encourage youth to get involved, Mr Denehy has donated a $50 gift voucher

for the Brunswick Surf Shop as an incentive to put forward ideas. ‘We are asking the youth to submit their design ideas. The designer will decide which is the best idea.’ Ideas and suggestions can be left at the surf shop on The Terrace.

Local News New tourism website

Oktoberfest coming to Mullum

Northern Rivers Tourism has launched a new website, designed for both visitors and the regional tourism industry, at www.northernriverstourism.com.au. ‘The new website’s twofold purpose will help us build a more proactive and unified tourism industry in the Northern Rivers as well as present what we have to offer to potential travellers from other parts of Australia and overseas,’ says the CEO of Northern Rivers Tourism, Russell Mills. NRT is the peak body for the region. Margo Sutton Caleb and Galit Vella, pictured above, are an enterprising young local couple who are delivering their first baby and organising the first Oktoberfest in the Byron Shire, possibly simultaneously, on the long weekend starting on Saturday October 4. For those who don’t know, Oktoberfest is one of the biggest European festivals, garnering over 6,000,000 visitors to the 42 hectare site in Munich to celebrate German beer, German food and German music and entertainment. Caleb is second genera-

tion Australian of Maltese descent with a touch of German a couple of generations back and Galit is from Israel. So why Oktoberfest? ‘It’s a festival suitable for the whole family, and it’s going to be a very entertaining two days,’ said Caleb. ‘The beer tent will offer tastings of good Oz beer as well as some famous German lagers, and there will be food tents, music, stalls and a few surprises.’ Safety is a priority, with a fleet of buses to take people to and from the site. The Oktoberfest will be held at the Giants sportsground in the Mullum industrial area

and part of the entry fee and profits will be donated to the Giants. Plans are under way for brass bands, rock n roll bands, choirs, and singalongs, comedians, beer tastings and of course the traditional fare – German sausages, pretzels, sauerkraut, apple pancakes, gingerbread, potato soup etc. Anyone who wants to take part, as a stall holder, worker or entertainer should ring Caleb on 0439 746 185. Earlybird tickets can be purchased from Mullum Hire for $20 or on the day at the door. Photo Eve Jeffery

has identified a number of issues that need to be resolved prior to the Certificate being issued to allow for the operation of the Hall to commence. These issues in general relate to signage, documentation in respect to systems and certification of the systems. ‘These issues are being or have been addressed by the Building Contractor, Project Manager and Council. An inspection of the building in relation to the completion of the outstanding issues, previously identified has been programmed for [last] Monday and it is anticipated that this will allow for the hall to commence operations following the induction of the Hall Committee in the running of and operation of systems.’ The Committee and Council say they have worked incredibly hard over the last months to set in place all processes and procedures to open this newly refurbished hall as well as enthusiastically planning an open event. ‘It became apparent this week that although all efforts were being made, we could not do the hirers and the opening event justice in such a short time frame,’ said Cr Westheimer. Details of the opening program will be published in coming weeks. For hall bookings and enquiries contact 0488 609 774 or mullumcivic@yahoo.com.au.

NB market a delight for Coral

Judy MacDonald and Coral Morris with a bunch of fresh goodies at the market.

Story & photo Eve Jeffery Coral Morris got a pleasant surprise while out shopping last Tuesday. Coral, who lives at Ocean Shores, was very pleased when the New Brighton Farmer’s Market began last December. She was there to celebrate the grand opening and has made it a weekly event on her calendar. Coral was even happier on Tuesday to have her lucky number pulled out of the hat as the week’s winner of two massive boxes of luscious produce from the stall holders at the market. ‘I really love coming to the market,’ said Coral. ‘The food is so fresh, the people are wonderful and you get so

much help and advice. I had a lovely education from the egg man this morning, he told me all sorts of things I didn’t know.’ Market manager Judy MacDonald says the market is doing well. ‘We did get off to a slow start as the rain during December and January literally put a dampener on things, but people know about us now and we have a strong regular patronage as well as a great selection of stalls. Together they have created a wonderful atmosphere.’ Judy says that a recent survey showed that 85% of the patrons at the market were from either South Golden Beach, Ocean Shores or

New Brighton. ‘That’s great news,’ says Judy. ‘The market is well supported by locals. ‘It has become a meeting place in the tradition of the European market days. We have close to thirty regular stall holders and people are getting used to shopping here. ‘In the future we hope to sponsor events and forums regarding local food and a sustainable food economy which a vibrant local produce market can go a long way toward creating.’ The market is held at the New Brighton sports fields every Tuesday from 8am to 11am. For more information ring Judy on 6684 5390.

Lineup announced for Byron Arts and Music Festival The Byron Arts and Music Festival makes a splash with the lineup release for the 2009 fundraising event for the Byron Youth Service this week. Committed to presenting a small festival that represents the multiplicity of music and arts the area is famed for, local artists such as Jimmy Willing and the

Real Gone Hick-Ups, Sara Tindley, Ghost Mountain, Dubshack and Tinjuana Cartel will get to share the stage with an impressive national and international lineup. The Cat Empire has a connection with the region as their Byron shows were some of the most instrumental in breaking them into a

wider market – they’ll be heading the bill alongside Gomez, The Hives and the Glasgow quartet famed for their fiery and frantic frenzy, Franz Ferdinand. The Festival will also welcome the grooves of the funky blissed out patron saint of the handle bar moustache, the very mellow Donavon Frankenreiter and

Canadian Quinn twins, Tegan and Sara. Local acts are still being invited to participate in the two day event scheduled for January 7-8 next year at Belongil Fields. Artists and performers from all genres are being approached to create an authentic slice of the Byron pie. See www.byronbay2009. com for more details.

‘TRANQUILITY’ BY PURE SLEEP Jeanette Martin, coordinator of the Mullumbimby Community Garden, and just a few of her eager community gardeners stand triumphant on the gardens-to-be. In May 2006 four Mullumbimby residents got together with the idea to establish a community garden in Mullumbimby. After two years of monthly meetings, land selection, submissions to council, steering group and committee elections and some 150 expressions of interest from financial members, individuals, families and organisations, the garden is finally a reality.

The opening celebration for the garden will be held this Sunday August 16 from 11am to 5pm with Welcome to Country at 1pm. All day music, plantings, compost making and bush walks will keep the family entertained. You will find the celebrations at the end of Stuart Street, with access adjacent to the Mullumbimby Market grounds (which are also on that day).

Council rejects BU claims on cash reserves A recent advertisement by Byron United titled “Positions Vacant – Byron Shire Mayor and Councillors” includes a job description which, amongst many other items, refers to the release of funds from extensive cash reserves ($50 million +) for community purposes. ‘Prospective candidates for the role of Mayor and/ or Councillor should be aware that the management of Council funds is heavily regulated which ensures that a large portion of the total investments is used only for the purpose for which it was received,’ said Council in a press release last week. ‘Candidates should not expect that they are able to allocate funds for any par-

ticular project at their discretion,’ Council’s Manager Financial Services, Jim Bolger, stated. ‘Of the $54 million of investments held at June 30, 2008, approximately $20 million is restricted by legislation to be used only for expenditure relating to the Water and Sewer Funds, with a further $17 million restricted to projects identified in Council’s Developer Contributions Plan. ‘Of the balance of $17 million, Council has put aside $16 million to meet expenditure relating to various community projects, and to fund operational commitments as they are incurred. What remains is approximately $1 million which represents Council’s surplus to meet unplanned

Local News Another boost for Coorabell Hall The fight to restore Coorabell Hall as a vibrant venue for music and dance got a boost over the weekend. A Brisbane businessman – who’s never even been to the hall – was so inspired by the story in the local press that he rang up and offered to donate $2,000 for materials at the working bee scheduled for this Saturday.

When told that a donation of that size could probably be made through the Australia Business Arts Foundation – and would therefore be tax deductible – he promptly upped his pledge to $4,000. ‘I was blown away,’ said George Lewin, the new President of the Coorabell Hall Association, ‘and halfjokingly suggested we’d erect

He plans to retire to the Coorabell area soon, and just wanted to support his local community. ‘It’s amazing how much support this somewhat wonky rural hall can generate,’ said George, who was elected President late last month, and who also intends to make a sizeable donation to the hall through his philanthropic foundation. ‘I’ve been in touch with the Australia Business Arts Foundation, and after we comply with some paperwork, they’ll be able to extend tax deductibility to any donation – even as little as $2 – for the maintenance and improvement of the hall.

We’ve got some impressive plans for doing up the hall.’ The committee’s heartfelt thanks go out to Dee Vine (who started the protest movement rolling), to the dozens of people who pitched in to help, to Byron Shire councillors, mayor and staff who gave us advice and moral support, and to Bay-FM and the local newspapers that gave the cause oxygen. ‘We’re planning a gala relaunch weekend in September, so come along and boogie with us,’ said George To help out at the working bee this Saturday register your interest with George Lewin on 6684 1114.

Drawing on the experience of his own journey of recovery from addiction extending back over 20 years, Rick Grossman, bass guitarist of the Hoodoo Gurus, is close to achieving his dream to give back something special to The Buttery, the organisation that helped give him back his life. ‘It has taken over a year to compile tracks from some of Australia’s top recording artists and we have been fortunate enough to enlist some of the country’s biggest to contribute rare or even previously unreleased tracks to this fundraising album for The Buttery,’ says Grossman. ‘Acts scheduled to feature on the CD due out in October include You Am I, John Butler Trio, Paul Kelly, Powderfinger, The Living

End, Jim Barnes and Neil Finn. ‘Reg Mombassa has also generously offered up images for the CD cover.’ Recently here for the Byron Bay Writer’s festival to promote his debut novel, Mark Seymour, who has donated the track Walk thru Fire to the CD, took time out from sessions at the Festival to join Rick Grossman and The Buttery Residents Choir as they recorded their own version of Hurt for the CD. Project coordinator on behalf of The Buttery, Dee Tipping, said, ‘This CD represents a remarkable show of support from the music industry. In particular this project will help get the message across at a national level of our urgent need for increased facilities to deal with the treat-

ment of addiction. ‘In the countdown to the release date in October we are especially grateful not only to Rick Grossman, but also to SONY BMG who have put their weight behind the CD, as well as Julie Brooks who came on board to coordinate the CD production. ‘Thanks also go to Fender, who donated a new guitar to The Buttery Choir just in time to help with the recording and Albert Studios, Sydney, who have been extremely generous with donating studio time to enable producer Jim Moginie to produce a feature track on the CD.’ For more information about The Buttery phone 66871 623 or email dee@ buttery.org.au.

Learn to convert weeds to rainforest at free workshop As part of the Biodiversity Extension Service, Byron Shire Council is offering a free workshop on Sunday August 31 from 10am to 1pm for Shire landholders who want to get started on restoring habitat for native wildlife. ‘Byron Shire is home to an extraordinarily high diversity of native plants and animals,’ said Wendy Neilan, Biodiversity Extension Officer.

‘Unfortunately our subtropical climate also provides ideal conditions for prolific growth of many environmental weeds. Many of the landholders I work with who are relative newcomers to the Shire buy their piece of paradise not realising that the green vista before them is often a wall of weeds. ‘How we manage patches of weedy regrowth is important as they provide habitat

for native fauna and can contain many species of rare or threatened native plants. ‘We are offering this workshop for people who want to restore native vegetation on their property but are grappling with where to start.’ Participants will be shown first hand techniques for restoring native forest by Goonengerr y resident Patrick Morrisey, who has worked on regenerating his

property over the last 20 years. Wendy Neilan will provide a demonstration of how you can measure the benefits for biodiversity when you embark on such a restoration project. For more details and to make a booking for a place in the workshop, contact Wendy Neilan at Byron Shire Council on 6626 7119 by August 28.

Modern Olympics parodies tradition Vol 23 #10

August 12, 2008

Byron’s plan to 2028? Byron Shire Councillors for 2004-08 could be forgiven for thinking they’ve had a rough trot in the dying days of their term of office, with an election only 32 sleeps away. Their winter break was disturbed by two extraordinary meetings, the most recent included the decider on the controversial Splendour DA at Yelgun. But wait, there’s more: this Thursday Councillors have to decide whether or not to publicly exhibit the draft Local Environmental Plan (LEP). The creation of a new LEP for Byron Shire is one of the most important decisions of all, as it will influence the future pace and nature of development, and whether or not the natural environment will survive it in any meaningful way. Believe it or not, the last time Byron Shire had a new LEP was in 1988, during the term of a progressive council. In many ways it was a far-sighted document, keeping the Shire in reasonable condition compared to most of the developed world, resisting the push for a regional metropolis with wall-to-wall cafés, shopping malls and McMansions. Now the plan is tired and frayed, held together by bandaids, and needs replacing – it would also help if some of its current provisions were observed, with Council either reluctant or too understaffed to enforce them. Before we get to the new LEP, however, there is one important question – should our current Councillors be voting on this issue in the ‘caretaker period’ (from August 4) in the leadup to the September 13 election? According to staff advice in the report, during the caretaker period Council must ensure that major decisions are not made which would limit the actions of an incoming council; exercise due caution in making major policy decisions that would bind an incoming council; and avoid entering major contracts or undertakings. Council officers reason that Councillors should put the draft LEP on public exhibition in any case because ‘delay of resolution for public exhibition of the draft LEP… could delay the project by approximately two months’ which might jeopardise conditions of grant funding for the project and ‘jeopardise the ability of Council to meet the initial timeframe for gazettal, being March 2009, particularly if the Dept of Planning do not stand by their indicated extension of time’. They seem pretty compelling reasons to proceed now. This process, begun with community-based planning strategies in 1998 – ten years ago! – and resolved by Council to proceed to LEP stage in December 2004, has gone on far too long. It’s time for the community to have its say on draft provisions for issues such as holiday letting, coastal management and development density. Should the exhibition get a vote in favour, it is good to see that staff have recommended a three month exhibition period rather than the statutory minimum of 28 days. Under state legislation there is also the possibility of a public hearing on the document, which sounds like a good idea given the amount of controversy which has surrounded the process to date. A lot of the documentation in relation to the LEP can be found online at www.byron.nsw.gov.au/Meetings/ as the Annexure for the meeting agenda of August 14. Happy reading. – Michael McDonald, editor

had planned to make this column an Olympics-free zone, figuring that games addicts would get more than their fill elsewhere. But then the Russians took the opportunity to invade Georgia, and the chance to make a few pungent comments on the modern Olympic tradition (as opposed to the ancient Greek one) was too good to miss. The whole point of the four-yearly festival at Olympia in the western Peloponnessus was that it was a time when wars were suspended. Since wars between the many city-states of the time were more or less ongoing, this period of truce had enormous significance. There were occasional breaches, but they were very much the exception and the transgressors were thenceforth regarded as outsiders by the civilised world. There were times when the tradition seemed to be taken to extremes: when the Persian despot Darius led an invasion of Greece and finally got past Thermopylae on his road to Athens, he was puzzled to find that the hitherto fierce resistance suddenly vanished. Puzzled, he interrogated some captured peasants who explained that it was the month of the Games; all wars ceased and the young men repaired to Olympia to compete for a wreath of olive leaves pluckked from the sacred tree of Zeus. Fortunately they returned in time to defeat Darius at Salamis and Plataea and preserve both their traditions and democracy, but it was a close run thing. Since the Olympiad was reinvented in 1896 wars have continued unchecked through the period of the games; indeed three times

(in 1918, 1940 and 1944) they have been so intransigent that the games have been cancelled altogether. But as far as is known only the Russians have actually launched an invasion while the games are in progress. What’s more, this is the second time: they invaded

least the Russians could have waited another few days. Even a fortnight without anyone starting a war would be better than nothing.

This, of course, is another great difference between the old and the new. The games of Olympics were contests between individuals, not nations. The young men of Greece competed for personal glory. Even the chariot races (the only teams event) was considered a contest between the individual owners. The idea of a country by country medal tally, let alone of politicians sitting in the stands and using the victories of their fellow countrymen as a photo-opportunity, is a parody of the tradition; indeed it is a contradiction in that it elevates the idea of nationalism, which is exactly what the original games aimed to remove from the festival. The modern Olympics has been described as war without blood. The ancient Olympics was a great occasion, precisely because it was just sport – sport without war. This may now be an unattainable ideal, but at

swing in a remote corner of the country. It suggested strongly that the advantages of incumbency have been greatly overstated, and is an ominous portent, particularly for the forthcoming election in Western Australia. The similarities are all too stark: an over-confident leader seeking to take advantage of a demoralised opposition by calling an early poll, without giving the voters a convincing reason why it should be necessary. A sizeable number of Nor ther n Territorians obviously felt that it wasn’t; they either refused to vote at all or took the opportunity to lodge a protest. In the tiny electorates of the Territory even a relatively small revolt can have a pretty big effect, as we have just seen. The reaction in the larger electorates of Western Australia may not be so drastic but there must be a few marginal backbenchers wishing their leader had been a bit more cautious and responsible. There are, of course, other differences. The Country Liberal Party ran largely on a platform of law and order,

nd despite ever more strident pleas to piss or get off the pot, Peter Costello can still not summon up the strength to do either; obviously his working holiday on the beaches of Fiji has sapped what little energy he had left after a hard year of procrastination. However his supporters, especially those on The Australian, report a glimmer of hope: their hero, may, just may, be willing to accept coronation as leader of the Liberal Party if, but only if, he receives no opposition of any kind and is not required so much as to lift a finger on his own behalf. Even then he is not making any promises, but it should be firmly understood that if the exercise involves any effort of any kind on his part, then all bets are off. It is not entirely clear whether this guarantee should apply only to the process of levering him into office, or whether it would extend to his full tenure as leader. But given his record, this probably doesn’t matter; it would make no difference either way.

which in the Territory (and in some other parts of Australia) is code for race: less welfare and more gaol for Aborigines. But the mere fact that this campaign took off could spell wider trouble. This was the first election to really test the political implications of the Howard intervention into Aboriginal communities, and the message appears to be that they liked Mal Brough’s gung-ho approach more than former Chief Minister Clare Martin’s more consultative one. It is to be hoped that other endangered Labor governments do not try and hang on to office using the same populist message.

Further reections on Splendour

■I read in last week’s Echo that Council has given approval for a ‘one off trial’ for Splendour in the Grass to be held at the Yelgun site in 2009. Imagine my horror to read in The Australian, Monday August 4, that ‘Splendour is to move to a bigger purpose built site at Yelgun, which will cater for 3000 more people than at present. Co-promoter Jessica Ducrou said the new venue could be used all year round for a variety of local arts and culture projects. They intend to spend $8 million on infrastructure development.’ There is no way this is intended as a ‘one off’ event. Is the DA only for a temporary event? Who is kidding who?

South Golden Beach â– The rescission motion on the Yelgun Splendour DA won’t proceed. Cr Richard Staples has withdrawn his support. He committed then withdrew, then recommitted and sent Council a signed rescission for the wrong meeting date, then committed to ďŹ x ‘mistake’, and then withdrew.

Burnt off Another beautiful Byron Shire day spoiled by senseless burning off. Come on, Byronians, let’s get smart and be ahead of the pack and outlaw this antiquated practice. We all know it’s a waste of natural resources, pollutes the quality of our air (particularly for asthmatics) adds to global warming, and is a loss of material for small animals to live among. Take it to the tip for mulching, buy communal mulchers and assist each other to utilise this valuable material, let it rot down, but please stop burning it and then say you care about the environ-

The votes on the four Splendour motions on July 31 were equally unusual. Westheimer, Mangleson, Tardif, Woods and Tucker vote for event DA. Tucker, Tardif, Woods, Mangleson and Barham vote that the DA is not covered by caretaker period restrictions on dealing with controversial DAs. Barham moved a successful motion alleging that the applicants had stated that they will apply for a change of date. And a ďŹ nal Tucker, Tardif, Woods, Mangleson, Westheimer and Barham motion for support to bulldoze part of the 7(k) habitat ridge for a tunnel. Did the voting pattern and the aborted rescission provide anyone with both credibility as well as their desired resolution? Perhaps it was one of those Greens middle paths. On Wednesday August 6, Council, in caretaker mode, enacted this highly controversial DA by the issue of a Notice of Determination. I consider the recent Splendour event, with its rampant unlawful street drinking, litter, camping, holiday lets, late noise, veg-

etation damage, smashed glass, vomit, grafďŹ ti, and our public spaces used as toilets, identiďŹ es that events of this size are unmanageable and socially damaging for our Shire. I believe that we need to start to restrict events on this coastal strip to 10,000. As for putting on an even larger event in the peaceful north of the Shire, in a wildlife corridor with important aboriginal sites! I frankly can’t imagine that addressing the concerns of the combined ‘rainbow residents’ opposition of white fellas, black fellas, rednecks and greenies is ďŹ nished with this one, and indeed, with the example of the recent Splendour event, nor should it be.

Byron Bay â– The patrons who attended the Splendour event showed absolutely no consideration for the environment, or their own health. This was evident by the trash that littered the pristine precincts of Byron Bay. Empty liquor containers, cigarette butts and junk food wrappers were just tossed aside, as soon as the consumer had ďŹ nished with them. Apparently, there is a move contemplated for the festival to be shifted to Yelgun, next year. A more appropriate venue should have been Darwin.

one day, advertised to death the next’. What is going on? Does anyone else see the contradictions in all this? Personally, I would like to see the signage anarchy scaled down a notch or two. If we want to live in a beautiful place why cannot we as a community also be a little bit creative about it. A few things come to mind. Can we have some broad agreements about size, shape and style of allowable signage? Business does need to advertise but I think we are losing the plot. Can we also have some dedicated public art spaces? I hear footpaths are a great canvas. And while we are at it, how about some funky street lighting? And, why not get all those ugly power lines off the streetscape and underground? You may call me a dreamer but I hear there is a council election around the corner.

Maybe a candidate wants to take this up as a challenge worth pursuing – making main street Byron Bay something people want to see, rather than just get through. I’m sure there would be a vote or two in it. Paul Spooner

Biking goals On behalf of the Byron Shire Bicycle Users Group, I wish to thank Byron United for putting real biking goals ďŹ rmly on the Council election agenda (Echo, August 5). While a majority of current Councillors, including the current Mayor, made strong statements of intention towards bikeways prior to the last election, the reality of the last four years was quite poor. I agree with Rene Thalmann’s letter on the same page as the BU article that ‘performance is the ultimate judge’. We believe that to have a

truly workable bicycle net- erably 50 to 60 kilometres of work within Byron Shire, bikeways. Byron Shire is a perfectly Council would need to build a minimum of 30, but pref- good example where current

ridership is increasing but is modest particularly between towns, among the young and elderly as we have no bike

network. The vast majority of kids are driven to schools. Along with the rest of Australia we have a high bike

And now, a few words from our candidates‌ â– I accept that I am a grumpy old man but that grumpy old woman ex Councillor Coman has been defending her inaction in The Echo and ‘the other paper’. My longtime policy is just build the fucking thing [Byron Bay library – Ed] then shut up. At my ďŹ rst mayoral election, Peg Gloor (foolishly?) nominated me. Sandy Ghandi always gets me to donate. I had numerous conversations with the late Jules Pearse on the location, concepts etc. You say ‘the project should be achieved in the next couple of years’. Well, pigs y, don’t they? Please get your mate Saint Jan of Broken Head to get off her rear and show some leadership by announcing a starting date. Jack Sugarman

Hayters Hill ■When a community is split on a complex issue noone wins. Splendour is an example of a ‘wicked prob-

lem’ where social amenity, environmental issues, Aboriginal rights, youth culture, employment and business interests collide. Can we avoid such situations, and if so how? The term ‘community consultation’ covers a wide range of activities, with varying levels of beneďŹ ts, depending on your point of view. It could be a public meeting with an open microphone. Or an email address to where comments can be sent. Such activities gather ideas, but don’t solve problems. Collaboration is something altogether different. It’s where people with differing views and skills really come together and jointly ďŹ nd a new path.Yes, this may sound like a magic mushroom induced haze, but it works. For example, large computer systems are now developed with small teams of users and techies collaborating in the same space, rather than working solo on unconnected pieces.

Suffolk Park â– It would appear that Byron United, which for some time has proclaimed its impoverished state, has discovered a new source of funding. How else could an organisation, whose president (in Council) justified unauthorised signage at his emporium as a necessity of poor times, suddenly be ush enough to mount an expensive dirt campaign in the local media? The most recent example in the Byron (United) News, the ad ‘Show me the/Our Money’, is an example of a standard misinformation tactic – list a number of

issues in a negative, simplististic format and rest assured that your target will not have the resources or time to explain the complexities involved. The matters cited in this ad contain familiar distortions, obviously fed to BU by their prospective beneďŹ caries on Council. I briefly mention the ‘caravan park’ claim as an example: s 4HE M REFERRED TO IS probably what the previous council was allocated to upgrade the parks which were then managed by a contractor who was sacked by this council – the money was not ‘lost’. s 4HE REVENUE FROM THESE caravan parks could only ever be spent on the parks or crown lands – it was never available for other purposes and this liability is now being funded by the Department of Lands – no nett monetary loss to Council. s 4HE PARKS WERE TAKEN from Council in a statedirected revenue gathering

push (they made money). Byron was not the only victim of this cynical grab and the lame justiďŹ cations offered have never been justiďŹ ed – despite numerous requests. This push to take control of the new council is reminiscent of the Tweed experience where developerSOURCED MONEY was spent in support of a number of candidates who claimed ignorance of the origin of their good fortune. The council was subsequently sacked for deceiving the electorate after this group won a majority on council (by 17 votes on a random recount). In this instance BU is within the letter of the law which the Iemma government has ensured will do little to inhibit donation deceit – disclosure is not required until February 09. I invite BU to let us know where the money is coming from prior to the election.

■Local government in Byron Shire is very self enlightening. In July, as Deputy Mayor I officially welcomed 100 pilgrims visiting Australia for World Youth Day 08 who we billeted in Byron Shire. In the next edition The Echo’s Backlash revealed to readers that I was of the (Catholic) faith. This was exciting news for me but after a chance meeting with the former priest of St John’s Parish I felt the Catholic Church was underwhelmed. Last week your correspondent Mac Nicolson was venting his spleen over Splendour. In his bile he informed all that I am a member of the National Party. This is news to me and probably nightmarish for the Nats. There is the old saying that in polite conversation you do not mention sex, politics and religion. I still have one enlightenment to go.

BU and the library In response to the letter from Jenny Coman (Echo, August 5) I would like to make the following points: Byron United has been following the planning process for Byron’s new library for many years – too many, in fact. Our ‘concerns’ come in the wake of Council’s recent decision to shift $325,000 from Council’s special rates fund to offset a budget deďŹ cit (given these funds had been allocated to upgrade the library and other community facilities). Council acquired the current library site at Lawson Street following a land swap with the Department of Lands. The current library site was swapped for land at Suffolk Park which had been gifted to Council by local business man Eric Freeman. continued overleaf

Not so chuffed about Woolies â– First, let me say that I am totally opposed to Woolworths building their store at the proposed site in Mullumbimby, for all the reasons already outlined in these pages. But, I was incensed at the hypocrisy displayed in comments made by Woolworths management in an article in the Sydney Morning Herald on July 26, that is at the core of this town’s opposition to Woolworths moving in, stating that it buys 95% of its fresh food from Australian farmers and they are promising cheaper groceries in their Mullumbimby store. Here’s the hypocrisy. In the same week Woolworths took out a whole page advertisement in the Daily Telegraph headed ‘For Value, grapes at $9.84 per kilo – product of the USA – Woolworths the Fresh Food People’. I can see neither value, at that price, or freshness in something that was picked goodness knows when and own half way round the world. On the same day I bought a box of fruit and vegetables from my local roadside stall in Bangalow for $10.20 that included broccoli, carrots, onions, cauliower, potatoes, bananas and passionfruit. Now I don’t know if they have an incredibly stupid PR

team or they just don’t get it? I fear the latter. Woolworths should head for the hills to learn about real freshness and value and stay out of Mullumbimby – we don’t need you, we already have it. Diane Hart

Mullumbimby â– In response to Messrs Berry and McKay (Letters, August 5), there were more than 300 people at the Woolies protest. Having been there, I can tell you it was more like 600, including children, who, by the way, are people too. What we do know is there are more than 1500 signatures on petitions submitted to the Planning Minister. That’s about half of Mullum’s population. As a nearby resident to the Woolies site, we have very real and legitimate reasons to oppose them. The negative impacts of this development on the residents of Station, Prince, Train, Stuart, Tincogan and Mill Streets are real and acknowledged by trafďŹ c reports and Woolies themselves. These are quiet peaceful streets that are going to experience a threefold increase in trafďŹ c, including trucks from early in the morning until well into the evenings, seven days a week, bringing air, noise

and visual pollution on a scale that is simply outrageous and unacceptable. It’s not as if we’ve moved next to an airport and started complaining about noise. Is Woolies in Byron, or Bi-Lo surrounded by residential housing? Of course not, in fact I can’t think of a supermarket anywhere built in a residential area. So why should the residents of Mullumbimby cop this? This issue seems to have been forgotten among all the other political claims and counter claims in this debate. It’s because of the above reasons that I have gone to meetings, written letters and looked silly at protests. Believe me, there are plenty of other things I’d rather be doing and I’m sure the same applies to many other ‘irrational’ people ďŹ ghting Woolworths. In the process I have been exposed to the real way Woolworths does business and how dishonest they’ve been to this community. I’ll never set foot in a Woolies store again after this. Those who support Woolworths in Mullumbimby in the hope of saving a few dollars should remember, they will do so at a very high cost to others in their community. Norman Appel

Jenny, while you’re happy for the project to ‘be achieved within the next couple of years’, Byron United seeks a ďŹ rmer commitment on the completion of this long awaited and essential upgrade. We’d also like to know why Council chose to shift funds raised for the library redevelopment, without consultation. Finally, Byron United acknowledges and commends the efforts of the Friends of the Library, which is playing such an active role in getting a new library built for Byron Bay.

There has been a constant anti-alternative society, pro ‘respectability’ push by BU. They are now reaping the harvest of their efforts. Tourism is down and they seem bewildered that their push to make Byron a dull place, the same as anywhere else, has been successful. David Gilet

SportsďŹ eld logic Congrats to Tina Petroff on her concise and informative reply (Letters, August 5), to Michele Grant’s letter re Lot 107. I was confused after reading Michele’s letter. She very intuitively explained why the council couldn’t ďŹ nd alternative grounds for sportsďŹ elds in Ocean Shores because it is so ‘hilly’. That’s right, Michele, and that’s why the loss of Lot 107 is so tragic, because it isn’t all ‘hilly’. Dur! D Hammond

Letters to get a good cheap breky or lunch there, and now where can you buy tofu chips in Mullum? Maybe there could be some provision made somewhere for a YAC (Youth Activity Centre) – was this included in the modification plans for the Civic Hall? Yes, I feel for the youth of Mullum who need a place and space other than the streets to hang out and enjoy each others company. Maybe some benefactor will come up with funds to establish a YAC somewhere for the kids of Mullum? Paul Brecht

Mullumbimby

Sewage woes Duncan Dey (Letters, August 5) is spot on. Here are a few other points that need to be considered. The Brunswick River is badly polluted. Almost every time it rains (say 30mm/50 mm) we suffer a raw sewage overflow into the river, sometimes millions of litres One of the main reasons for this is that the 45 year old delivery system for raw sewage (earthenware pipes) is broken, cracked, separated etc and because of this delivers much more stormwater than sewage. Council has spent in excess of $2m on repairs to the old pipes with little improvement. Council is persisting, trying to repair the pipes and intends

to spend $500,000pa over the next three years.The BRCWS Committee considers this money to be better spent on renewing existing old pipes. A new STW costing approx $40m is to be constructed in the next few years and unless the antique delivery system (pipes) is replaced it will, in wet weather, process millions of litres of stormwater. The Mullumbimby Primary School (280 students) is forced to use ‘Portaloos’ when we get reasonable rain as the school’s toilets are unable to flush (they overflow). The volunteer committee (most have been members for ten years) is concerned that when Council staff change, Mullumbimby will be left with a legacy of problems in the future. Common sense states that the existing delivery system pipes (45 years old) is not repairable and certainly will not complement a brand new STW costing $40m. Come on, Council, this new system has to last at least 30 years, so why not do it properly to start with? Malcolm Murray

Mullumbimby

Bouquets I ran in the first ever Mullum to Bruns Walk and Run last weekend, and had a little collapse on the bridge into Brunswick Heads, about 2km short of the goal. I think

my blood sugar just dropped, I got wobbly and sat down by the side of the road. Sure enough, several people stopped to help me. I must have had my eyes closed because I only remember their voices and their kindness that enveloped my overheated body like a cool breeze. They called an ambulance for me, and off I went to Mullum hospital. I left the hospital about an hour later, rehydrated, re-sugared up, my eyes open. I am writing to let them know that I am fine, the numbness was due to my lying on my side on gravel, not to anything serious. That Sunday, I experienced again the humanity and generosity of spirit that first attracted me to the Byron Shire. I was taken care of by strangers as if I was family, and I’d like to thank the people who helped me – the three people by the road, she who gave me water, he who brushed the hair off my face, and he with two hands to squeeze, as well as the ambulance attendants and the emergency staff of Mullumbimby hospital. And that would be enough for me. But this is not an ordinary land, and we are not an ordinary community, and last night, Mehil Beckerman, the organiser of the run, called me on the phone, concerned, to check that I had recovered! This wouldn’t happen in a

city! And then I had to hug myself, because I am lucky, because I am part of this extraordinary community, and because human concern is a threatened species in the world, yet this beautiful and rare creature is still thriving in our neighbourhood. Teeya Blatt

Brunswick Heads

Stand up By the time most residents read this, nominations for the Council election on September 13 will have closed. Among those contesting the election are candidates representing political parties who have ignored the interests of the community at other levels. Which party

took the trains away? Which party continues to undermine local communities by taking away the right of locals to have a say in Council decisions affecting our lives? Which party is threatening to privatise the electricity industry? One of the problems with all political parties is that there can be a conflict between representing the interests of the community and protecting the interests of the party or party leadership. We need new Councillors that can work together and avoid the jealousies and conflicts that come with the party system. As an independent candidate with no party membership or affiliation, I

can guarantee that I will work to put the interests of the community first. Actions speak louder than a series of nice sounding phrases strung together at election time. On September 13, look for the candidates who are experienced in standing up for our community. Basil Cameron

Recruiting warriors of words for the local theatre Local theatre company Baywrite makes a recruiting appeal: ‘Monks with mobiles. Talk about attachments! And silent meditation! ‘Sitting in the hall and the mobile rings. Oops‌sorry‌must answer to the world‌Dear me‌What has come over you, my learned teacher? Have you abandoned the path? Are your robes camouage for a military uniform? For the Rangoon Battalion of Monks?’ So the army captain taunts the imprisoned monk in Henry Di Suvero’s latest play about last year’s uprising in Myanmar. The ‘threehander’ explores the philosophical differences between a practising Buddhist monk and his military captor who is also his former student, and was read recently at Baywrite Theatre’s monthly Saturday Readings session. Henry, pictured, is one of several talented writers living in Byron

Shire who are members of and contributors to local theatre company, Baywrite, which encourages and supports original scriptwriters and undertakes major productions every year. Over the last three years it has successfully produced the

short play festival Hot Shorts from which the audience selects the best play. In last year’s production, Henry’s play Howard’s End was one of the ďŹ nalists. Henry, originally from the US, comes from a background in the law where, he says, he witnessed ‘drama’ everyday in the courtroom. He has a passionate interest in justice; he is amazed at how little integrity and how much hypocrisy there is among politicians and so he has been drawn to political theatre and to the challenge of creating situations and characters to bring political issues alive. During the 80s he worked at the Law School in the University of PNG, and travelled into Irian Jaya where he met ďŹ ghters from the resistance movement, the OPM. On returning to PNG he set up a people’s tribunal to try the Indonesian government for war crimes. He used real evidence and real

participants – refugees living in PNG - and his ‘mock’ trial played to packed houses. ‘It was great political theatre,’ remembers Henry, ‘but it got me kicked out of PNG – the government revoked my visa!’ Now retired in Byron Bay, Henry works on plays about local, national and global politics. He sees many difďŹ culties in getting his plays produced. Political theatre has a limited audience – it used to succeed through its shock value, but these days TV news and documentaries shock people every day; besides, Henry does not like to use violence, preferring his plays to be cerebral. The major Sydney companies do not accept unsolicited scripts; companies prefer monologues and plays with few characters to reduce costs which can be prohibitive – a successful three-week run of an independently produced play at the Belvoir Street Downstairs for

instance, can bring in $12,000 most of which goes on publicity, advertising and rent. That leaves local and community theatre companies like Baywrite which also have to succeed ďŹ nancially and which need committed and energetic producers and directors of a high standard. So an invitation is extended to artistic and creative people with an interest in theatre to join Baywrite and work with people like Henry and others to bring some of the promising talent in the community into fully-edged life on the stage. Baywrite’s website is www.baywrite.com or we can be contacted at baywritetheatre@yahoo.com.au. Cold and rehearsed readings of locally written material are held on the ďŹ rst Saturday of the month at Byron Entertainment Centre in the Industrial Estate starting at 2pm. All are welcome to come along and read, listen and join in discussions.

Council Election 2008

BEACON lists its strategic issues, BU takes up sport Karin Kolbe declares her candidacy, OSF announces its team, nominations open, excitement escalates… Teams of candidates are beginning to assemble for the September 13 local government election. Some have announced themselves, others, such as the Tucker/ Woods/Heeson group, have just quietly come into view. Nominations opened on August 4 and will close at midday on Wednesday August 13, after which the candidates’ names will be revealed. Meanwhile the lobbying has begun by various interest groups. The Byron Environmental and Conservation

Organisation (BEACON) has identified a dozen strategic issues for the next term of Byron Shire Council and is asking candidates to identify which they support. BEACON President, Dailan Pugh, said that there is a plethora of outstanding issues that Council needs to redress in its next term, though BEACON has selected a dozen strategic issues that it considers will identify the environmental credibility of prospective councillors. BEACON’s strategic

issues for the next term of Byron Shire Council are: Implementing adaptive responses to climate change by: 1. maintaining the policy of planned retreat in response to sea-level rises and coastal recession; 2. protecting and enhancing wildlife corridors to facilitate necessary migrations; and 3. Establishing an explicit greenhouse gas reduction program for Council. Looking after our natural environment by:

4. restoring full funding for biodiversity management; 5. expanding the extension service to assist private landowners manage native vegetation; and 6. establishing buffers to protect water courses, threatened species and ecosystems. Protecting residential amenity and sustainability by: 7. establishing explicit holiday letting precincts and prohibiting holiday letting in most residential areas; 8. ensuring that new development does not exceed infrastructure capabilities; and 9. adopting a policy to limit the number, size and location of music festivals. Ensuring Council staff complete a new Local Environmental Plan within 12 months that satisfies the above issues and is based upon: 10. urgently completing a Local Growth Management Strategy that explicitly identifies a staged approach to satisfying regional dwelling targets; 11. stopping new housing estates along Ewingsdale Road, at least until they are considered in the context of the Growth Management Strategy; and 12. protecting prime agricultural land.

BU goes north Business lobby group Byron United has discovered the north of the Shire and is urging Council to identify a new location for the Ocean Shores sports field. Land originally purchased for the new sports field in 1995 was sold by the current Council in 2004, with a promise that a new site would be found. ‘It’s been four years, and we still haven’t been told where the sports field will be built – let alone when,’ said

Byron United Vice President James Lancaster. According to BU, the original seven hectare site on Shara Boulevard was sold to Council by a former Ocean Shores developer for $115,000 in 1995. It was sold by Byron Council to the RTA in 2004 for $250,000 and then gifted to the National Parks and Wildlife Service. ‘Byron Council sold seven hectares of land for the price of a small urban block of land,’ Mr Lancaster said. ‘If it had been sold for market value, Council could have developed much-needed social and sporting infrastructure for the Ocean Shores community. ‘As it stands, most of the Ocean Shores sporting teams can’t host home games because they don’t have a field. We want to know why the land was sold, how the proceeds have been spent, where the new sports field will be built – and when.’

Kolbe stands Suffolk Park resident Karin Kolbe has confirmed she will run as an independent candidate. ‘Essential infrastructure needs to be core part of council’s work,’ Ms Kolbe said. ‘Bike paths in particular are essential as they will help ease congestion, reduce our reliance on expensive carbon-emitting petrol, give people an easy way to exercise as well as drawing tourists. ‘I particularly like the idea of a cycle path through a sculpture garden as it would demonstrate a practical, aesthetic way of moving residents and visitors in an environmentally friendly way. ‘We need to think about how future generations will live here – to keep the environment clean and healthy. ‘We also need to support the people in our creative industries. These are the art-

ists, graphic designers, writers, filmmakers, clothing designers, editors, musicians, composers, web developers etc.’ Ms Kolbe is a book publisher with two titles selling internationally and a third in development. She is the president of TOOT, the group lobbying for Trains on our Tracks. Karin also works in information technology and has been a project manager and business analyst on large corporate and government projects.

OSF team Our Sustainable Future is a registered party with no affiliations to any other political party, it says. The party will also be running a team in the Lismore Council elections. The Byron team includes Patrick Morrisey and Dave Moss, who announced their candidacies earlier. The other candidates are Eka Darville and Heather Harford. According to OSF, ‘Eka Darville is 19 and a highly talented performing artist and activist. He’s been active in community initiatives, lobbying for a farmers market, volunteering for bush regeneration and doing youth mentoring for the Homebase program. He promotes awareness and involvement in politics, the arts and grass roots activism to the talented youth of the Shire. ‘Heather Harford is an active member of Brunswick Valley Landcare and Federal Community Centre Landcare and been successful in achieving improved facilities for her local community. She has been active for 35 years in rural planning, environmental management and protection. Heather is also a Byron Bird Buddy and monitors bird populations in the Cape Byron Marine Park.’ See more at www.osf.org. au.

SOAPBOX 24

At this year’s Byron Bay Writer’s Festival, standup comedian and Northern Star columnist Sandy Gandhi released her book Enlighten Up. Published by Melbourne Books, this is a collection of her humorous columns that appear weekly where Sandy deconstructs society and the status quo with satirical sincerity. After her successful booklaunch I caught up with her as she continues launching all over the Shire.

GiveAway Enlighten Up Yourself We have a copy of Sandy Gandhi’s Enlighten Up for one lucky reader – email us here with what you would call Sandy’s First born, if she delivered a bubba instead of a book. Email mandypow@echo.net. au with subject header ‘sandy book’.

So, Sand how is the book going? ‘The people who buy the book love the book, there were 300 – 400 people at the launch and Dymocks at the festival only sold 22 copies, I thought comedy was a hard gig! But selling books is tough! They are available in all the Northern Rivers bookshops and newsagents and some gift shops and then it goes on sale around Australia in September.’ As a fellow comedian I know the narcissistic horror of having a profile in a small town, for Sandy it’s much the same, although she is in costume and can often get about town as the very unsuspecting Ms Ahrana. ‘It’s hysterical in Bangalow there is a big poster of me in the window so I go stand by the poster when someone is looking in the window and give them a fright!’ When I first met Sandy, she had this quiet exuberance that belied her real talents. The petite Indian born little beauty never intended to become a comic, or a writer, it just happened as a natural course of events. The book was from an inspiration by a friend. ‘The idea to put my book together came from an elderly friend of mine in Melbourne who is in a book club – she saw a copy of Danny Katz compilation of columns called Dork Geek Jew, and then she sent me the copy and said here is an idea. The actual design of the book I have put together is little epiphanies I have had sitting around doing nothing!’ Getting a book out is as hard as Sandy made it look. Ironically at her launch she had ABC Radio personality Mick O’Regan play midwife and delivered her book vaginally as she had always joked

‘I’ve got a book in me... when I saw my gynacologist had been down there a long time I knew that he’d been reading!’ So what did it take to release Enlighten Up? (Besides of course a stiff drink, some rubber gloves and an epidural)

according to

Sandy Gandhi

‘First of all you go through those feelings of self doubt – like am I good enough to have a book? That process goes for a while before you put yourself out there, you can self publish and get out that way or find a publisher who believes in you.’ Sandy found herself a publisher. It was a credit to her relentless enthusiasm and commitment to her work. ‘As my publisher said at at the book launch – he wasn’t sure if I was a writer or a stalker! You have to keep the pressure up, especially with creative work. I have realised that the most important thing for me to do is self promote. I won’t get anywhere unless I do it. Having said that I have sold 35 copies out of the boot of my car in the last two weeks... if for any reason people can’t get the book in stores, they can email me at sandygee1@ bigpond.com and I’ll make sure they get it!’ Sandy is delighted with the book’s presentation. ‘The book is beautiful, in fact when I took it up to show Philomena Carr at the Federal Store (because the photo was taken there on the outdoor loo), she said Sandy the outside dunny has never looked so good! It’s great value $23.95 – I just hope I get a tip of $1 and 5 cents – hang on, I can’t even buy a Northern Star with that! I thought it was good value but I had a pensioner ask if $10 was enough, so I ripped it in half and gave it to them. Now I have half a book still for sale if any pensioners out there and feel like reading!!!’ Sandy has globalised her stories. ‘I’ve edited them and made them contextually correct for a wider audience. Although I have sold myself on being Australia’s most easterly Indian.’ For Ms Gandhi, writing and

4"563%":

.0/45&3 3"''-&4 $)00,4 $"350/4 .&"5 53":4

performing are one and the same. ‘They are both linked together for me, my comedy comes from writing in my head and it took me a while for it to cross my mind that I could make it into a story, that happened accidentally because Rex Hunt came to town and got beaten up – if I hadn’t sent that column in to the Northern Star I wouldn’t be a columnist now.’ Sandy loves writing about topical issues and is often caught between deadlines doing a last minute rewrite before it goes to print. ‘A lot can change in a story in three days! I try to write about political stuff where I am rooting for the underdog – I don’t get involved in party politicking, I am sort of more

the partying politic.’ Sandy has a fascinating personal story, that includes 20 years as a tour operator through Egypt, Africa and Papua New Guinea and a fascinating childhood that begins in Bangalore in India and ends in Melbourne. I wonder whether Sandy will ever go there? ‘I will write that book – about my life, but I’ll have to kill my mother first. I think she is going to outlive me, she knows I am going to write the book!’ Sandy Gandhi is appearing as the MC of Why Not Stand Up in Byron on Wednesday 27 August (Tix $10 entry/ $35 dinner – 6680 7994) and she launches her book in Ballina at the Big Gig on Thursday 28 August.

THE SOAPBOX MANDY NOLAN

THE SEX REPORT

Years ago, a lover of mine told me that I was the ‘worst sexual partner’ they’d ever had. Basically, they were letting me know, in no uncertain terms that I was a dud root. I thought it was a little unfair, considering I was the first girl he’d ever slept with. Crikey, if I’d known I was being assessed, I would have tried harder. I would have studied more, spent more time focused on the job. For a start, I wouldn’t have fallen asleep. It has led me to the conclusion, that in these days of rapid relationship changeover, we need an intimacy report card, something that can be reviewed by any new prospects when they are considering taking on new applicants, something that indicates the areas where more intensive training is required. ‘When performing fellatio Mandy starts out well but finds it hard to stay on task. Easily distracted, has potential but needs to commit.’ It would read exactly like a standard report card, and like the new school reporting systems, no lover would ever fail, they would be measured in accordance with their limitations. ‘For a lousy lover Gavin has some great shirts.’ ‘Beverly has achieved a level of excellence at missionary position seldom seen outside a 30 year marriage.’ Kissing: ‘Neville is guilty of way too much tongue. It’s not a watersport.’ I would envisage the areas of

She performs at Satori’s Restaurant/Cafe in Belongil on Saturday.

WHOOPS, I DID IT AGAIN! BYRON VISTA IN RECESS Sorry to say but despite last week’s article about the Byron Vista at the Bowlo running this week...

LOU BRADLEY – MULLUM COUNTRY MUSIC CLUB MULLUMBIMBY RSL ON SUNDAY

unfortunately such is not the case. Due to unforeseen circumstances the Vista will not be operating on Wednesday August 13th as advertised and will remain a non-event until further notice. Sorry to disappoint regular punters and other music fans but that’s how it is for the moment! (Please note, this entertainment writer got a release from a performer last week who claimed to be performing at the Byron Vista! Please check with venue operators before sending releases!)

BROADFOOT ON DAY RELEASE Mullumbimby band Broadfoot have been in the studio recording their latest original Too Many People but they will be ‘escaping’ the confines of the SAE campus to perform a live gig at the Bruns Hotel on Friday. When the band say they are ‘escaping’ they mean it in a literal sense after discovering that if you don’t go home from the SAE before 9pm, you don’t go home at all. Following an evening recording session last week Broadfoot found themselves on the inside of

the giant SAE gates with only two cans of Tooheys to keep them alive. Just as things were looking grim (second can of beer was nearly gone) a man with some keys turned up and let them out. If they can stay on the outside the band will be continuing their regular jam sessions at Bo’s Café in Jonson Street on Sunday arvo – drop-in musos welcome.

MAL AND THE LONGBOARDERS GO TO THE OTHER SIDE Mal and the Longboarders are Australia’s premier longboarding surf band. They have just released their long awaited 4th album – The Other Side. The Byron based band have been surfing, playing and recording music together for more than 11 years without a single lineup change. Their surf sounds have been heard at comps and gatherings from the Noosa Festival of Surfing in the north, Cresent Head in the south and Cottesloe’s Whalebone on the West Coast. The new album The Other Side takes on a new direction with a combination of lifestyle and surfing material. As lead guitarist with

JIM KELLY’S HEALIN’ FEELING BAND WINSOME HOTEL ON TUESDAY

jim K Elly

the band Soz Carlbergg puts it ‘the band has come a long way in the 11 years we have been together – although we continue to get stoked about surfing and still write songs in that vein, we made a conscious decision to spend a bit more time crafting the songs on our new recording to broaden the band’s horizons and include some different original material that embraces musical styles that many fans might have seen at live performances but had previously not been included on recordings.’ The album launch is at the Byron Bay Golf Club on Saturday at 8pm. The band will play tracks from the new CD as well as some of the favourites from previous recordings. Admission is $20 for singles and $30 for couples and includes a CD.

BLUE BIRDY SINGS The Matt Keegan Trio will be playing at the new Blue Birdy at Liquid (in the Woolies carpark) this Wednesday night. An awesome super group staring Sydney’s hottest jazz musicians. Matt is being celebrated nation wide following the release of his

album Tone Imagination. Matt on tenor saxophone and electric saxophone (sounds like fun!) is being joined by Cameron Undy on electric bass and Dave Goodman on drums. Their music is a fusion of jazz with contemporary styles and celebrates the unique sound the band has been forging for the past five years. Don’t miss this opportunity to see this group of dynamic per formers play live.

AMMA BHAJAN NIGHT This Friday there will be a night of devotional chanting at Temple Byron, led by Mark McIntosh and his band Sai Ma Sil. The evening is dedicated to ‘Amma’ the holy mother and all proceeds will go towards Amma’s next Australian tour. Chanting to the divine is a magic carpet that can lift chanters to such heights of ecstatic bliss as they connect back in to the source of life. Whether or not you’ve ever chanted before or heard or seen Amma, please feel very welcome to come and join in this celebration of Spirit, through song and dance. Chanting will begin at 7pm so try to

come by 6.45pm in order to park and get settled in. Bring something to sit on. By donation. Amma for the uninitiated is known as the Mother. I once lined up for a hug but got overwhelmed by all the people and ran away. Next time I might settle for a handshake with the Father.

FULL MOON AT KOHINUR There is no better time to invoke good community spirit than on the full moon. And guess what, it’s in Aquarius! Could it be any more perfect for the fundraising event for the Mullumbimby Neighbourhood Centre? Saturday at Kohinur Hall sets the table for a night of mirth and lunacy. ‘Gypsy Moon Dance’ will attempt to tell – through song, music and dance – the story of the gypsies. The celebration starts at 7pm with an invocation to the Black Madonna, patron saint of all travellers, baklava makers, babies and lovers. The evening’s musical journey begins in India, where the gypsies own journey began, with folk music from Rajasthan (Armando-bansari/ Rod-tabla); then moves to

the middle east with belly dance and The Romaniacs; then to Europe with the gypsy guitar of Paul Margolin and flamenco dance troupe Sueno. There’s also the Irishstyle Tinker’s Cuss (Matt, Chris Aronsten, Daeva); and world music crew Nakula (Dharma & Bunny), sassy duo Dos Mamas and Revolove with songman Bunna Lawrie. Along the way gypsy circus act Scurvy Dog will send you barking. The night will end with DJs Habibi and Deewan spinning gypsy-influenced dance tunes guaranteed to send you loopy. Tix are $10 with kids under 16 free. The Mullum Soup Kitchen Crew will be serving up yummy food, chai and cakes and, weather permitting, there will be a roaring fire and a fire show. All are welcome (especially tarot readers) at this family-friendly event and all shire musos are invited to join in the shenanigans. Dress code is gypsy-glam. And it’s all for a good cause – the Mullumbimby Neighbourhood Centre’s emergency relief program, assisting people who are disadvantaged and in crisis.

THE ROMANIACS WILL PLAY AT THE GYPSY MOONDANCE ON SATURDAY AT KOHINUR HALL, MULLUM. A BENEFIT FOR THE MULLUM NEIGHBOURHOOD CENTRE.

THEATRE BLOODY BRIDE Norpa is currently working on a very innovative piece of theatre. It has actors from Melbourne and Sydney moving into the area to create The Bloody Bride-0, a play about a young couple who find themselves drawn into the seductive world of Leo who lives in a dilapidated caravan on the outskirts of Lismore. As Cassie becomes increasingly intoxiated by Leo’s worldliness and charm, the couple’s relationship is poisoned and their sense of who they are is overturned. When Cassie learns that Leo’s visa has expired she offers to marry him for money, creating an intense situation that sets the scene for an all consuming battle for love. The story takes inspiration from Lorca’s Blood Wedding in a dynamic tale of jealousy, love, marriage and death. The text, written by Hilary Bell is a dark journey of seduction where worlds are turned upside down. The play explores the routine of urban environment in collision with

the inherent spirituality of the Northern Rivers. Two dates only with three shows, don’t miss them. Thursday 21 August at 8pm and Friday 22 August at 11am and 8pm at the Starcourt Theatre in Lismore. Tickets online at www.norpa.org.au

ART CALLING FOR ARTISTS Panache is an exhibition put on by PAN – the Practising Artists Network. It provides a valuable opportunity for local artists to showcase the talents in a variety of media and is open to all the members of the Byron practising Artists Network.

Julia’s humour refuses to be pigeonholed and her personality refuses to be ignored! They are joined by the mild and meek mannered

Make-up artists, painters, sculptors, designers, fashionistas, and lovers of all things colourful and artistic are advised to put the weekend of 20 and 21 September in their diaries for the 2008 Australian Body Art Carnivale in Eumundi, Queensland. Event organiser Peter Homan says the event will

draw together cuttingedge artists who will create masterpieces using the human body as their inspiration – and canvas. ‘The Carnivale is centred around body art in its many and varied forms – from the more readily seen art form of face painting right through to cutting-edge full body painting using airbrush, sponge and brush, as well as special effects,’ Peter says. ‘The theme for this year’s body art competitions, including face painting, is “The Natural World” – and artists will be judged on their interpretation of that theme. Judges will also be looking for creative edge, originality, use of colour, and technical expertise. It will be a unique opportunity to watch Australia’s best full body artists and face painters do battle, and even try your

hand at body art yourself by joining in various workshops,’ he says. In addition to the spectacular body art, the 2008 Carnivale will feature the following: Traditional Aboriginal body painting – demonstrations using natural clays and ochres. Pavement art – with all visitors are invited to get involved in creating a masterpiece. Art of the Body – a visual art exhibition, art sale and competition celebrating the human form, as well as life drawing and sculpture workshops. Fashion Fiesta – parades showcasing the latest creations of local fashion designers. Wearable art – competition and parades featuring garments created from reused or secondhand materials. Photographic competitions – in digital and photo print categories and

truly unique photographic opportunities all weekend. ‘You don’t need to be an artist to enjoy the weekend,’ says Peter. ‘Just come along to the Carnivale, soak up the fabulous atmosphere, savour the tasty food, and enjoy some great live music and entertainment.’ For further info or to register for the competitions or workshops, visit www.australianbodyart. com.au.

the rave scene of the early 90s attending parties as a six year old! Whoa, just made me realize that there is a whole generation of kids like George out there, in their teens now, and I would just love to know their accounts and perspective of the experience that rocked many people’s/parents’ worlds nearly two decades ago. Anyway, by the age of 14 George plunged himself into the outdoor trance scene here in OZ and two years ago started producing his own music describing his style as, ‘full on cranking’ psy-trance ranging from 140-147 bpm.’

MERCURY, MARS, VENUS AND SATURN ALL IN VIRGO PLACE THIS WEEK’S MAJOR PLANETARY EMPHASIS IN THE SIGN OF HEALTH, PRACTICALITY AND LET’S GET LIFE SORTED. MOST EFFECTIVE DAY FOR BUSINESS IS THURSDAY, MOST EXASPERATING PEOPLE DAY FRIDAY… ARIES: This week features family interactions: blood family, work family, social family. If you’ve been repeating yourself and getting nowhere, change your strategy. Ask others about their concerns, needs and ideas and you’ll be surprised how easy it is to come to an understanding.

don’t override discussion and debate because what you learn from it could put you streets ahead in the negotiating stakes. VIRGO: With your planetary ruler Mercury, dynamic Mars, Venus of the pleasing ways and stabilizing Saturn all in your corner, who says being a Virgo’s boring? This week opens doors for you. You’ll have all the answers at your impeccably manicured fingertips. Any of this a problem? LIBRA: People will want you to listen to what they say and do it their way this week – which understandably you’d rather not. But they’re also desperate to be admired, so butter them up enough and they won’t notice you doing things your way till it’s too late. SCORPIO: With this week’s major emphasis continuing in the career sector, your leadership skills bringing opportunities for fruitful change. Should these involve a parting of the ways, think carefully through the pros and cons – late month will be the most advantageous time to act. SAGITTARIUS: This week’s business people or

romantic prospects won’t be impressed by careless dress or being kept waiting, so spiff up that casual presentation. The secret of success this week is making it easy for others to help you and being appreciative when they do. CAPRICORN: With so many planets in a fellow earth sign acting as a tonic for your whole system, you can afford to be generous this week. If someone who didn’t follow your advice needs help, resist the impulse to say I told you so and give them a hand. AQUARIUS: As astral energies become more sensible and settled, financial and relationship dilemmas work themselves out, friendship dramas get sorted and this week – which favours streamlining and downsizing – takes care of a lot of what’s been bothering you without too much fuss. PISCES: This week’s gang of planets in earthy Virgo, your astrological complement, supports your liquid personality with a firm foundation. The divas are definitely looking after Pisceans and whatever you water with your attention and care should bloom with delightful results.

nobody does it better® The Mainz Chess Festival may no longer award a black jacket to the winner of its main event but one tradition remains the same: the winner is always Viswanathan Anand. The Indian World Champion, renowned since his youth for his speed of thought, is probably the greatest rapid chess player in history, as his 11 Mainz titles in the past 12 years confirm. Anand completed the 2008 Mainz Rapid Championship undefeated, coasting through the preliminaries and then moving up a gear to defeat the young pretender Magnus Carlsen 3-1 in the final. In theory Anand should be preparing hard for his world title defence against Vladimir Kramnik in October. However Anand is so keen on rapid chess – and the reward for effort he receives for rapid events are so good – that he has played no serious tournaments since March.

CHESS by Ian Rogers Play at Byron Services, Mon 7-10pm; Mullum Poinciana Café, Sat 2-5pm

‘I just didn’t see 60...Kc5!’ bemoaned Polgar after the game. The point is that 61.Kxe3 loses the rook after 61...Nc4+ so Black has time to play 61…Nc4 and keep the e pawn, which will soon become a winner. Instead, after 61.Kxe3 Rxh2 Polgar, her last pawn gone, was obliged to agree to a draw.

After this game, the two players’ paths diverged. Polgar failed to win a game for the rest of the tournament while Anand gained confidence and defeated both Alexander Morozevich and Carlsen twice showed that his second best is on his way to his ninth conalso more than adequate. secutive Mainz title. The only player to trouble a b c d e f g h Anand in Mainz was Judit 8 Polgar, coming off a long lay7 off from competitive chess. In the second round, play- 6 ing Black against Anand, she reached the diagrammed posi- 5 tion and now set about fin- 4 ishing off Anand with some 3 powerful moves.

Admittedly Kramnik has played only one classical tournament in that period – a failure in the powerful Sparkassen tournament in Dortmund – and has also enjoyed success in rapid and exhibition events. In the Mainz final, Carlsen tried to unnerve Anand by using Kramnik’s favourite Catalan opening, in the hope that Anand would save his best weapons for the Bonn 55...Kd5! 56.Rh5+ Kc6! 57.Rh4 world title match. Yet if Anand Nb2+! 58.Kd2 e3+ 59.Ke2 Rxc1 did hide his best counter, he 60.Rxd4 Rxc2+??

TAURUS: This productive week could turn you into a workaholic before you know it. But life’s more than just administrivia – this is an auspicious time to revive creative ideas you might have put aside because you considered them impractical. Hardly – Taurans can make a buck out of anything. GEMINI: Health issues would definitely benefit from organising some new routines this week. If discipline and restraint haven’t been all that easy recently, you’ll be chuffed to know that this week’s pleasantly grounding energy makes them seem much more achievable. CANCER: This week brings new insights into long standing issues. Mercury helps clear thinking, finding the right words for expressing feelings and the ability to say in a common sense way what needs to be said – with the mix of tact and practicality which will most effectively serve your interests. LEO: Astral activity in your event planning Majesty’s house of Other People this week brings you up against opinions and attitudes as strong as your own. But

CINEMA PINEAPPLE EXPRESS Cheech and Chong meet Quentin Tarantino as two accident prone pot heads run foul of heavy crime syndicates. It was an obvious idea just waiting to happen, which might be why this movie never really flies – it’s all too calculated. Seth Rogan, a hulking bloke who will always have his bumcrack poking out of his strides, epitomises the current vogue for coarse comedians whose principal MO is ‘laugh at me dude, I’m fucking hilarious!’ (When was profanity deemed funny in itself?) Destined to follow a screen career in which he never has to shave the stubble from his chin, he also shouts a lot, even in normal conversation, which

can get pretty exhausting. As co-writer, he has provided himself here with a cute blonde undergraduate (Amber Heard) as his squeeze, but their relationship is superfluous to the action and, when you see the two together, is as unlikely as his coupling with the lovely Katherine Heigl in Knocked Up. His dealer buddy, James Franco, a retro Haight-Ashbury Beach Boy type, immediately reminds one of the young Dennis Hopper. Good looking and reprehensibly charming, he leaves no doubt that his brains are well and truly scrambled and genuinely seems stoned for much of the time, which Rogan never does. It is also made clear early on that he only sells marijuana, thus easing our middle class liberal consciences, though they are later put to the test when he peddles some of the gear to a group of unpleasant schoolboys. Pineapple Express is the name of the hootch that they possess and, after Rogan witnesses an underworld murder, it

is through it that they are traced by rival criminal gangs. That’s about it as far as the story goes. There are excellent set pieces – the fight in the house is inventive and well choreographed, the car chase is as loud and smashing as they come and the climactic shoot-out is agreeably slapstick if hardly original – but otherwise it is surprisingly dawdling, with a lot of witless dialogue. It’s probably the sort of flick that is best appreciated if you are completely off your face and in the company of a bunch of other slack jaws. Neither applied to me when I attended so, not being infected by contagious laughter, I found it only mildly amusing. But it was great to hear Eddy Grant’s Electric Avenue again – I’d forgotten all about it, now it’s taken up residence in my skull. ~ John Campbell

UN SECRET Justifiably or not, the French have a reputation for antiSemitism (the Dreyfus affair is alluded to here as a reminder). A number of filmmakers have addressed the issue, often setting their stories in the Vichy years. The secret referred to in Claude Miller’s regretful movie concerns an incident from that time, as a group of Jews flee the roundups taking place in Paris. It opens, however, in 1955, when we meet little François (who provides 1985’s voice-over) and his beautiful mother Tania. An unhappy, runtish kid, he is a grave disappointment to his gym instructor father, Maxime. Miller then does his best to confuse by lurching without rhyme or reason from era to era – one minute it is 1985 and the elderly Maxime’s dog has been killed in a road accident, the next it is 1936 and he is about to be married to Hannah.

hallmarks of a lamebrained attempt at ‘artiness’, as does 1985’s pointless black and white, and they are counterproductive to establishing any fluency in the narrative. François, baptised into the Roman Church, learns as a teenager of his Jewishness from an old family friend, Louise – the source of his parents’ history – but I don’t think that that is the secret being talked about. Instead, it concerns the fate of Hannah and her son Simon. Maxime had fallen in love with the athletic Tania before the war and the arrival of the Germans revealed him to be as uncommitted a Jew as he was a husband. With flaxen hair and blue eyes, and standing statuesque atop a diving tower, Tania is every inch Leni Riefenstahl’s super Ayrian. It is hardly a subtle symbol of how Maxime was prepared to abjure his faith (and that she looks magnificent in a sleek black swimsuit is rather harped on). His simmering lust and her long maintained refusal to be drawn to him threaten to spiral into gauche melodrama, but Patrick Bruel and Cécile De France avert that with compelling, understated performances. Ludivine Sagnier is also terrific as Hannah, though I found the fateful decision made by her (the ‘secret’ of the title, for mine) to be neither credible nor satisfactorily explained. Disregarding the uncalled for and self-lauding epilogue (‘épilogue’ actually appears on screen), this is a tense and deeply melancholy tale that seeks an absolution that might not be fully merited. ~John Campbell

THE PAINTED VEIL The Painted Veil is a love story set in the 1920s that tells the story of a young English couple, Walter, a middle class doctor and Kitty, an upper-class woman, who are married for reasons of convenience. They relocate to Shanghai, where she has an affair with someone else. When her husband uncovers her infidelity, in an act of vengeance, he accepts a job in a remote village in China ravaged by a deadly epidemic, and takes her along. Their journey brings meaning to their relationship and gives them purpose in one of the most remote and beautiful places on earth. The film, which is a complex and beautiful international production, is a labour of love that took the better part of a decade for Norton who was also the film’s producer. ~ Lounge Cinema

I never passed through a vegetarian phase at all. Instead, unconsciously, I found myself over the years eating less and less meat for the simple reason that I was ďŹ nding other foods like cheese and vegetables and ďŹ sh inďŹ nitely more satisfying and, from a culinary point of view, even more versatile. To this day, however, I am unclear as to why the notion of doggedly sawing my way through a steak should strike me as boring, whereas doing the same thing with a piece of ďŹ sh does not. It was probably Italian food that awoke in me the sheer joy of vegetables in all their possibilities – an antipasto table kaleidoscopically colourful with capsicum and eggplant and zucchini, tomatoes and fennel and beans agleam with olive oil – and even now if I entertain it will be largely meat-free dishes I serve. People become vegetarian for a variety of reasons – ethical, religious, environmental, nutritional, spiritual, philosophical. The ďŹ rst Vegetarian Society was founded in England in 1847, but it wasn’t until the twentieth century that the popularity of the movement really took off in the Western world – largely due to nutritional and ethical, and more recently economic and environmental concerns. The word was coined by the founders of the British Vegetarian Society and comes from the Latin word ‘vegetus’, meaning ‘whole, sound, fresh, or lively’ – the assumption, then, that a diet excluding all animal (including poultry, game, ďŹ sh and shellďŹ sh) by-products is automatically healthy. In fact while vegetarianism is considered a healthy and viable diet useful in keeping body weight under control, there is always the risk of meat being replaced with high fat cheeses, oil, caloriďŹ c snack foods and sweets, as well as the danger of malnutrition. I am frequently amazed at some of the offerings of so-called health food stores and vegetarian outlets: so much of it, whatever vegetable- or soy-

based thing it is, has been crumbed and fried, left to grow cold in its congealing brown casing. And I am equally amazed that, given the enormous number of vegetarians around, there are not more vegetarian restaurants to provide for them and for the rest of us who, like me, are often not in the mood for meat. In Sydney some decades ago there was an innercity restaurant called The Metro, where you were obliged to join a long queue to get into a buzzy room largely composed of booths where you would squash in next to strangers after ordering at the counter. It was funky, kitschy and deafening, with the Ramones and Blondie blasting out of tinny loudspeakers; the servings were enormous, the avours fantastic and the desserts, especially the crumbles, legendary. Not since The Metro have I felt excited about vegetarian food – until I visited Casa Pepe in Byron Bay. The unlikely site which once housed the original Boomerang restaurant under the Budget Motel undergoes a clever transformation at night. Drapes curtain off and soften the dining space and braziers warm it so that you feel cocooned and private. Crunchy wedges of garlic pizza arrive once you are seated, a welcome gift. The menu is small: a handful of entrees and mains, six house-made pizzas and several salads. Everything is made on the premises: the Golden Paneer, fresh white curd cheese a lushly creamy contrast to its spicy tomato sauce; the organic tagliatelle slippery with fragrant mushrooms and chestnuts; the buttery pastry of a ricotta tart studded with rosemary and goat’s cheese... This food is huge-avoured and utterly gorgeous, and the Red Berry Crumble for pudding – apples and berries spiced with cinnamon and cloves with the crumble crunchy with almonds – just about matches my memory of The Metro ones. Casa Pepe is at the courthouse end of Byron Street, open for dinner only from Wednesday to Sunday. And I would deďŹ nitely book ďŹ rst. (On 6685 7121.)

Sports Roundup with Eve Jeffery Bend it like Bootsy A solid week for Brunswick Valley Soccer with all grades posting hard fought wins away from home. The fourths brought back three points from Casino after an excellent 3-1 victory. Valley went ahead through yet another screamer from Thomo, before Casino equalised ten minutes into the second half. Defender Andrew Piper was on hand to slot home and put the visitors back into the lead, following some great work by Aaron Heyning who went on to consolidate a match winning performance by scoring the third and final goal of the match. The seconds had things a bit tighter at Bangalow, but dug deep and came away with a 2-1 win, despite the absence of inspirational

player-coach Mitya VibertGigue through suspension. Marksman Ryan Gray was on target early on, smashing home a low drive. Dean Treveton doubled the advantage with an almost identical second half goal. Tubby Taylor and man of the match Jake Fenwick worked wonders at the back to lock the opposition out, but were unable to prevent a consolation goal for the home side after a clear hand ball went unpunished by the referee. The sixths had to fight hardest of all to snatch the points in a nail-biting 3-2 win at Bangalow.

Bangalow stuck to their task and hit two quick goals either side of the interval. It took an extraordinary long range effort from Jono Hughes to restore parity. His massive clearance from well inside his own half bounced over the hapless keeper and into the net. Sniffing a win the Valley boys poured forward and were rewarded with a free kick on the edge of the box. Michael Bootes stepped up and hit a sublime curling shot into the far corner to snatch the win and send the crowd wild. The cry ‘Bend it like Bootsy’ was heard all the way back to Mullum.

It was an exciting finish to the Far North Coast Premier Netball League competition. The Lismore Daleys finished undefeated and outright minor premiers, displaying in their game against Byron 2481 an on court resolve that sets them apart in attack and defence. Byron 2481 in their best performance of the season showed that they have

improved greatly in this strong competition with Coach Jo O’Connor very proud of the young team. ‘I am full of praise for each of the players; they have left no doubt that they are a spirited team full of potential, O’Connor said. Ballina RSL secured second place with their win over Grafton DEX and Clarence Coast in a nail bitting game against Casino Tatts came

away with the points to finish in third place on the leader board. Scores for Game 10 competition were: Lismore Daleys 51 defeated Byron 2481, 24. The Ballina RSL 51 defeated Grafton DEX 24 and Clarence Coast 49 defeated Casino Tatts 47. For more information about the results or finals fixtures visit: www. netballnsw.com

Sports Roundup with Eve Jeffery Byron rediscovers the devil in the detail John Campbell Byron Bay coach Nathan Cross gathered his boys at the northern end of the field at the conclusion of Sunday’s encounter with South Tweed. After a dusty start, the Red Devils had secured an emphatic 40-4 victory, but the venerable clichés said it best: we’ve turned the corner but it’s still all ahead of us. The much needed morale booster has at last ended the lean streak which saw them garner only three points from their last five outings. The visitors’ only try came after the Bay had knocked on in their very first set. It was not a promising start to the afternoon and the Devils’ recent slide looked to be wearing heavily on them. There was no lack of effort, but they repeatedly undid any good work with sloppiness and anxiety. South were hardly red hot, but their enthusiasm saw 4-0 remain fixed on the scoreboard for what was beginning to be an annoyingly long time. When hooker Eli Colby darted over next to the posts after twenty minutes the collective sigh of relief on the Devils’ bench might have been heard throughout the Retravison Nor ther n League’s domain. A perceptible change came over the game – being in front can do that – and Byron began to exhibit growing

confidence. Twice in a row they ventured to kick immediately following a scrum win and were rewarded with a try and a 12-4 lead at the break when Clarence Kelly won the race for the ball on the second attempt. Roadrunner Tom Merritt scored in the corner straight after oranges and Jared De Thierry’s conversion wobbled through the air like it had had a night on the grog before hitting the cross bar and flopping over. It was open-sesame for the Devils from that moment, the attention to detail – particularly in handling and attacking options – paying handsome dividends. There was also a general lift in what can only be described as the ‘get this into you’ factor. Further tries were notched

by Andrew Battese (2), Tobin Cupples and De Thierry – the last, after a super cut-out pass from Luke Bomford to Duane Cahill, who drew the cover before sending it inside to the number seven, was as pretty as a picture. The Devils are now masters of their own destiny. Regardless of other results, if they can repeat this win in the return match with South next week they will be assured of a home ground advantage in the first round of the play-offs (see Results for NRRRL ladder). But just because they deserve it after the effort they have put in throughout the season does not automatically mean it will be so – coach Cross will have reminded them of that.

he says. ‘The strikers come at you really fast and a shot on goal can come from anywhere.’ The boys local club team, the Wizards, won the minor premiership and the 3 boys were chosen to represent the Far North Coast NSW. The Rep team had two other Byron Shire boys, Daniel Musgrave and Craig Barnham from the Ocean Shores Club and two boys from Grafton. At Easter they competed at the Australian and Pacific Regional Championships where they won the Vikings Futsal Silver challenge against teams from New Zealand, Tasmania and all over the Australian mainland. Futsal is very popular in the cities and larger population areas as it can be played indoors in summer and win-

ter competitions irrespective of the weather. Two other local Byron Shire players were selected into the U13 boys Australian team, Desan ConnersHart and Toby Barton The growth of Futsal has been amazing with player numbers doubling each year in all age groups up to men’s and women’s, as the word gets around how fun and exciting the game is. A new centre opened in Ocean Shores last September and there are currently plans for another new Centre in Byron Bay in time for the summer season. Plans are also in the works for a new Premier League under 19 youth competition between clubs this summer. It sounds like we’re all going to hear a lot more about Futsal in the future!

Mighty, mighty (Byron) hot pies! Not that I would ever take the opportunity to talk up the Mighty Mighty Collingwood Pies, but they did kick butt on the weekend … … and in local news, the Byron Magpies U14s came back into serious footy last Sunday to chalk up an impressive victory against

Full Tossers over the fence and out Brian Mollet Local sports lovers know that any game between Byron Bay and Mullumbimby takes on an extra dimension of rivalry, whether you are watching the under 12s netball or the group one rugby league. Anecdotal evidence suggests that the fight that takes place over the back fence is more likely to end in violence or worse: litigation. The Nick Shand Memorial cricket series now boasts teams from both sides of the highway as on Sunday the Byron Full-Tossers lined up for their first official game against the pugnacious bush bashers from Left Bank. The Full-Tossers looked keen in their warmup despite the slicing south westerly breeze, so Alex led the team into the field. The Byron boys did well

in the first session, swarming like jumping ants up a trouser leg in the field and sustaining a level of banter that seldom dipped below a dull roar. Scottie took their first official wicket and Troy chimed in with one of his own as the Bankers struggled early. Stewie and Russell had to dig in like shellbacks on an armpit but guided the Bankers to 2-58 at the halfway mark. Alex inspired his team with a direct hit runout to remove Russell and then Ash bagged two scalps, and suddenly the Byron blokes were looking sharper than the razor wire round the American embassy in Baghdad. The Bankers were in a sub-prime mortgage crisis but Charley, Jason and Joffrey evened the ledger with a

Academy seeks rugby coaches

Getting a Futsal in the door A trio of talented local mates have just been selected to play in the Vikings 15 years boys Australian Futsal squad to tour the United Kingdom later this year. Layton Barton of Bangalow, Tim Knight of Federal and Sean Spencer of Alstonville are no strangers to high level sports competition. Each of the boys has also competed at either State or Australian level Athletics Championships, and for the last 3 years have also been travelling together all over NSW and Queensland playing Representative State League Football, however to be selected to play for Vikings Australia is a great honor and a crowning achievement. Goalkeeper Layton loves the game. ‘Futsal really teaches you to react very quickly on the small court,’

the Maclean Eagles in a wellfought away game. The Byron tourists enjoyed a sunny morning, excellent playing conditions and the cheers of an enthusiastic crowd to finish with a 122 to 29 win over the Eagles. There were some standout goals, and the whole

team showed impressive, fast paced support, tackling and shepherding throughout the game. The boys just keep getting better… Now with their eyes set on the finals, the Maggies look ready to take on some really tough opposition in the coming weeks.

The North Coast Academy of Sport (NCAS) is seeking one head coach and two assistant coaches for its high profile rugby program. Academy executive director Tony Clarke said ‘Rugby coaches who have experience working with juniors at a representative level, and who are prepared to take on extra coaching development themselves to assist our aspiring academy athletes are strongly encouraged to apply.’ Head coach applicants must have a minimum level two accreditation and recent and relevant coaching experience. For the assistant coach positions, a level two accreditation is highly desirable, but not mandatory. Established in 1996, the NCAS Rugby off-season program runs from November through to April. The major aim of the program is to assist the individual development of each athlete so that they progress further in the sport.

Approximately 20-22 athletes aged 15-16 years from the Far North Coast and Mid North Coast rugby zones are selected soon after the completion of the club season. Preliminary selection trials are held in each zone in November, which are followed by a combined zone final selection day in late November. The program involves 10-12 days of activities (usually on weekends) and is delivered by the head Coach, Assistant Coach/es, Manager and specialist consultants. NSW Rugby Union Community Rugby Coordinator for the North Coast manages the program. Rugby Gold Coast is a sponsor of the program. Applications close on Friday August 15 2008 and application kits can be downloaded via the Download section located on the front page of their website at www.ncas.org.au.

trademark late flurry of runs to salvage a respectable 143 at the close. With the sun shining and Lomath Oval as closely shaved as a beach volleyballer’s bikini line, the Full Tossers were confident. This did not count for much however as the nippy new ball duo of Cameron and Jason ripped through the top order like a four year old with a pile of Christmas presents. Jase was on a hat trick at one stage and with the opposition reeling Peter threw the ball to the mystifying witch doctor Ed, who sank one low speed stiletto after another into the twitching corpse of the Byron innings. After a good start to the game the Full Tossers were wrapped up for 43, and have plenty to think about before their next outing.

While most of the media seems enamoured with the notion of the Beijing Olympics catchphrase ‘One World, One Dream’, local artist Lucille Martin created this image as part of a personal human rights protest. See more of her work online at www.lucillemartin.com. And the GetUp organisation has made a TV ad, in conjunction with the Australia Tibet Council, which has hit the headlines – click on www.getup.org.au/campaign/OlympicSilenceIsNotGolden to watch it. Our dream for One World certainly doesn’t include the torture of dissidents. We prefer ‘Mother Earth – Let Her Dream In Peace.’

In the spirit of local community media collaboration Echo website visitors can now listen to Bay FM Community Radio while browsing www.echo.net.au – you’ll find the clickthru on the right hand side. ■ ■ ■ ■ Filmmaker David Bradbury’s interview with the cofounder of this paper, Nick Shand Unplugged, is now available on DVD.
