Affordable housing frustration boils over Michael McDonald One of Byron Shire Council’s longtime members of its affordable housing committee resigned during public access last Thursday as a protest against the delay in getting results for the Shire. At that same meeting Councillors voted 9-0 to exhibit a draft Affordable Housing Strategy. Tina Hadley, a committee member for eight years, told Councillors that ‘not one affordable housing area has been created. There is massive housing stress and it is an escalating problem for our people. ‘Byron Shire Council is one of the largest prohibitive factors to providing affordable housing. I no longer have any faith it can meet the runaway needs of the people.’ Of a contrary view, Council’s consultant on its strategy, Dr Judith Stubbs, said Council had taken a

strong leadership role and joins ten to 15 councils across the state in considering the issue. Byron Shire is one of the least affordable areas in NSW in terms of housing, Dr Stubbs said. ‘It has increased dramatically in the last decade. ‘The Sydney exodus continues displacing local residents. It is exacerbated by the lack of supply caused by holiday letting. ‘Affordable housing is a key question for environmental and social sustainability. Issues of social diversity are critical and reducing the impact of urban development is extremely important.’ The draft housing strategy will be exhibited for at least 42 days and will be accompanied by a program of community consultation ‘so as to minimise the risks associated with community misconceptions about affordable housing’.

The strategy recommends 15 ‘key strategies’, including identifying Council and other public land that can be used in affordable housing partnerships with government, community and private sector partners, and for other special uses including caravan parks and aged accommodation; developing low rise medium density forms of development close to shops and services, dual occupancies and garden flats, caravan parks, aged accommodation and other more innovative forms of development; offering developer incentives in the form of density bonuses in strategically selected precincts close to town centres in exchange for a 50% share of additional profit created dedicated to Council for use as affordable housing. ■ For more on this subject go to the forums section of our website – www.echo.net.au

Seven for mayor, 36 for councillor Michael McDonald Seven hopefuls have put up their hands for the position of mayor of Byron Shire at the council election on September 13, and 36 candidates will run for the position of councillor. Following a referendum at the 2004 election, this year nine councillors in total, including the mayor, will be elected rather than ten. In the order they will appear on the ballot paper, the mayoral candidates are Bob Tardif, Ross Tucker, Tina Petroff, Tony Heeson, John Lazarus, Jan Barham and Jack Sugarman. Tardif, Tucker, Lazarus and Barham are current councillors, with Tardif representing Country Labor and Barham the Greens. Tardif, Tucker, Barham and Sugarman ran for mayor at the 2004 election, respectively scoring 457, 5395, 5270 and 559 primary votes, Barham winning office on preferences. Petroff ran for councillor at the last election, scoring 676 primary votes. From left to right on the ballot paper the council candidate group tickets are: s 'ROUP ! 4HE 'REENS *AN Barham, Simon Richardson, Tom Tabart, Richard Staples, Maggi Luke; s 'ROUP " /UR 3USTAINABLE Future Patrick Morrisey, Heather Harford, Eka Darvill, David Moss; s 'ROUP # "ASIL #AMERON Nadine Hood, Louise Doran, Bill Mackay; s 'ROUP $ *AN -ANGLESON *ACOB Ivey, Arthur Rose, Jim Mangleson, Chris Shevellar; s 'ROUP % #OUNTRY ,ABOR 0ARTY Bob Tardif, Maggie Tardif, Jill Ball, Rosalie Bryant; s 'ROUP & 2OSS 4UCKER 4ONY Heeson, Diane Woods, Ken Barnham; s 'ROUP ' +ARIN +OLBE .OElene Bunt, John McKay, Alan Close;

s 'ROUP ( 3HIRE 7IDE !CTION Group Tina Petroff, Alan Dickens, Rene Thalmann, Denise Stammers; and s 'ROUP ) *OHN ,AZARUS AND Adrian Gattenhof. Only the first two candidates of each group ticket are likely to have a chance to be elected, though The Greens might manage three on Barham’s large preference spill. On past performance and preference indications the possible nine new councillors could be Barham, Richardson, Tabart, Morrisey, Cameron, Jan Mangleson, Bob Tardif,Tucker, and Heeson, though either Lazarus or Petroff could come in ahead of Tardif, given that Labor is on the nose at a state level and Tardif will have lost Greens preferences. Of the mayoral candidates, only Tucker and Barham stand out according to past voting patterns. It looks harder for Barham this year, given that most, if not all, of the other mayoral candidates are likely to direct preferences to Tucker.

Greens bag BU Convenor of the Byron Ballina Greens, John Bailey, speaking on behalf of Greens candidates, has taken aim at business lobby group Byron United over its questionnaire sent to all candidates: ‘In view of the agressive and inaccurate nature of the Byron United campaign to date, we have difficulty in accepting any good motives in this questionnaire. In fact it has all the characteristics of an easily manipulable device to denigrate the candidates they have already targeted. ‘Only the naive or foolish would complete a political survey which does not contain the criteria on which the results are to be evaluated, especially one which contains contentious questions on which the views of BU are well documented.’ continued on page 2

Earth champs catch up, ďŹ ve years on Story & photo Eve Jeffery The Byron Shire Earth Champions Quest was conducted in 2003 when residents nominated people from the area who are working to nourish and sustain our natural environment. Last weekend those who were named Earth Champions were reunited to catch up on the gossip and to wish well to the Earth Champions to be announced on November 6, for the latest quest which was launched in Hong King on August 1. Fiona Mathews, CEO and Founder of the Earth Champions Ques,t was also at the reunion to initiate the Knowledge Pond phase of the Earth Champions quest. In 2000 Fiona set about creating a global competition to ďŹ nd Earth Champions, role models whose achievements would be announced to the world every four years in the city of the summer Olympics. Due to logistics it was decided that this year’s announcement would be made in Honk Kong rather than Beijing.

The initiatives were designed to create a climate of hope for the world’s youth through the recognition and promotion of the sustainable practices that are being quietly introduced in the communities of the world. ‘The original reason we did this was to give hope to our children,’ said Fiona at the breakfast held at Ewingsdale Hall. ‘The Byron Shire Earth Champions are a very impor-

tant mould to take to other parts of the world. Every day people need to have a voice and Earth Champions give the opportunity for communities to discover wisdom from within.’ Local filmmaker Terry Bleakley ďŹ lmed some of the local Earth Champions for their initiatives to be displayed on the Earth Champions Knowledge Pond web site, as well as a group message together with Mayor

Jan Barham sending their best wishes to Hong Kong Earth Champions, to be screened at the conclusion of the Hong Kong Quest in November. Fiona was very happy to be among the Byron Shire Earth Champions again. ‘These people are real people, gentle people, inspiring people,’ she said.

Seed Savers take root in hinterland Story & photo Lou Beaumont The brainchild of directors Jude and Michel Fanton, Seed Savers, based in Byron Bay, has disseminated over 8000 varieties of food plants as half a million samples of seeds out to gardeners across Australia over 22 years. With a growing need for locally grown produce, Seed Savers is now sprouting roots, expanding the existing network into the Byron Hinterland Seed Savers, which is welcoming the local public. Jude Fanton told The Echo, ‘A diversity of local food crops underpins resilient societies, so they are not dependent on food imports. This is very important as food prices go up and up. ‘It is great to see a seed network start up in the local area. Rasa Dover has been a long time supporter of The Seed Savers Network and will do a great job of coordinating Byron Hinterland Seed Savers. ‘All power to dynamic networks of gardeners who give a damn about food plant diversity and pass it on to others. This is the antithesis of seed corporations who patent living organisms.’ Rasa Dover said, ‘I was brought up in a Yates and Roundup world. I come from an English background where all the vegetables were grown in neat rows – of course not nature’s way at all. ‘Now I communicate with other gardeners, we learn

From left, Byron Hinterland Seed Savers Rasa Dover, Tania ManeaStrebl and Charlie Starrett in Rasa’s Goonengerry kitchen garden.

from each other about what works and what doesn’t and we share seeds. So many edible plants that were around when I was a child are not any more, they have been bred out as they have poor shelf life or whatever. I want to bring back those seeds.’ A Seed Saver aim is to increase the biodiversity of food plants in the garden, thereby increasing the gene pool in the garden and the likelihood of certain plants

thriving and defending themselves naturally against insect and pathogen invasion. Seed Saver group members also believe that it is no longer simply desirable to grow your own food, but necessary also. Dover says, ‘With food and fuel prices where they are, among other things such as pressure from multinational supermarket chains, it is imperative that we grow food for ourselves.’ Charlie Starrett, seedsaver

and co-presenter of the Generator program on Bay FM, said, ‘It is true that the necessity to grow our own food is escalating but what we are about is empowering people with regard to this. There is something we can do about rising food prices and limited choices, we can share knowledge along with seeds and cuttings and all grow our own food. I hope people will bring kitchen gardens into their front gardens.’ Tania Manea-Strebl, Seed Saver and accredited Permaculture teacher, has been a mad keen kitchen gardener and friends with the Fantons for about 30 years. She said, ‘I like my garden to dictate what it is that I eat, what my medicine for the day will be. My garden is pretty wild, and 90% edible, at my place nature has taken on the role of teacher.’ The Byron Hinterland Seed Savers are looking for others to join their network. Contact Rasa Dover on rasa@aapt.net.au or 6684 9498. The next gathering will be in Myocum on Saturday November 8 at 3pm. Jude and Michel Fanton recently completed a documentary called Our Seeds: Seeds Blong Yumi and premiered it in American Samoa at the Festival of Pacific Arts. You can view clips at www. seedsavers.net. They will now concentrate on making Seed Savers completely webbased and need top advisers to assist them.

Council flick passes LEP to new team Michael McDonald Byron Shire Councillors last Thursday voted 6-3, Crs Staples, Lazarus and Tabart opposed, to defer determination of the draft Byron Local Environmental Plan (LEP) until after the election of the new council in September. In the meantime the draft LEP will be sent to Sydney with a request to the state government to have its Parliamentary Counsel examine it. In moving to defer, Cr Ross Tucker also noted in his motion recognition of the caretaker period before the election and the ‘controversial and complex nature of the subject’.

Cr Tucker said taking on the new LEP was ‘a very onerous imposition on a new council’ but the current council had received 1,000 pages of information on disk only the week before. ‘There is a terrific amount in there but the time is too inadequate. I’ve done the best I could [reading it] but I’ve just scratched the surface. However, I don’t believe the document is ready to go on public exhibition.’ Mayor Jan Barham supported the move, saying, ‘I can’t support it going up on public exhibition. It will be valuable for the new Council to have advice from staff.

‘I have concerns about the content of the new LEP, for example the floor space ratios. Ten years of my life have gone into this, but I’d like to see more information from the State.’ Cr Barham also pointed out the state government had delayed the process by changing its mind on planning processes. ‘Five times the staff have had to rewrite it. The government has basically stuffed us around badly.’ In favour of immediate public consultation, Cr John Lazarus said, ‘The new councillors will have to own it but exhibiting it will get feedback

for the new council.’ During public access Belongil resident John Vaughan opposed public exhibition of the draft LEP. He called it a ‘basically flawed document’ and cited anomalies in zonings, describing the heritage zoning in Shirley Street as the ‘asbestos protection zone’. Despite councillors’ concerns, the draft LEP and its accompanying Local Environment Study are enjoying a de facto public exhibition. Residents can read the documents online at www.byron. nsw.gov.au/Meetings. Click on the Annexure to the August 14 meeting.

Mullum team talks its way into final On Tuesday August 5 the two Mullumbimby Public School debating teams participated in a gala day of debating as part of the Premier’s Debating Challenge. The five Zone 1 teams participating in the debating were Byron Bay 1, Byron Bay 2, Terranora, Mullumbimby 1 and Mullumbimby 2. The two Mullumbimby teams acquitted themselves well and continued to develop as the day progressed. The enjoyment and team morale was evident on all of the student’s faces as they debated against each other vigorously. At the end of the day the Mullumbimby 1 team was adjudged winners of Zone 1. This team will debate the winner of Zone 2 on August 21. ‘Mrs Judith Kaveney and Mrs Robyn Tester were the

coaches of the two Mullumbimby teams and their guidance and knowledge of debating ensured both the teams were very well prepared,’ says the school. ‘We thank them for their time

and effort.’ The Mullumbimby 1 team was Anu Schlawe, Louise Skelton, Grace Marsden and Lily Preston. The Mullumbimy 2 team was Anatole Serret, Courtney Bailey,

Arthur Thiele and Monique McLean. ‘Well done to all of the teams for their wonderful effort. All of the coaches too need to be thanked for their role in ensuring the day was a resounding success.’

Council shoots for more sport at New Brighton Last week Byron Shire Council voted unanimously to request negotiations for a lease of Crown land at New Brighton for additional sports facilities and to advise of the recent investigations. ‘I am pleased that Council is now closer to providing additional sports fields in the north of the shire,’ said Mayor Jan Barham in a press release. ‘After undertaking a feasibility study of a New Brighton site Council will now request a lease from the government for the development of sporting fields. The New Brighton land is a logical addition as it is adjacent to the existing Tom Kendall Field which is currently well used for soccer. ‘The investigation of the site revealed that there is sufficient land in the southern

Healthy Ageing

area of the site to provide a full sized soccer field and the possibility of tennis courts or netball. The northern section of the site will be protected for its environmental values.’ The New Brighton land will require additional assessment in relation to filling of the land for the sporting fields and ecological assessment and these matters will be considered in a Plan of Management. ‘Council recently exhibited the Northern Shire Sporting Fields Draft Strategy which identified a need for change rooms, a grandstand and lights to improve sporting opportunities at New Brighton,’ Cr Barham said. ‘If the lease is obtained a Plan of Management will be developed to identify the

20% off furniture

facilities that are capable on the New Brighton site. The strategy identified opportunities for enhancing and upgrading existing fields in the north of the shire with funds currently available. ‘With changes to state legislation Council will now be able to deliver these outcomes more quickly as a development application is no longer required. When the strategy is adopted Council can proceed urgently with the implementation of new works.’ The report on the Brunswick Sporting Fields Operational Plan will be reported to the Reserve Trust meeting on August 28. The development of a skate park on this site is identified in the plan and has been allocated funds.

‘It’s fantastic that young people in Brunswick have been involved in the design of the skate park,’ said Cr Barham. The Northern Shire Sporting Fields Draft Strategy will be reported to Council later in the year with an update on the New Brighton land.

“Dear Tracey, I am writing to thank you for all your wonderful care and attention over the last 12 months. My first VLA test was a wake up call when it showed that my cells were ageing about 10 years older than my birth age! I was shocked as most people thought I looked younger than my 57 years and I thought that I had always eaten well and been proactive with my health. I knew I was carrying excess weight around the middle area of my body but had always been able to dress as to appear thinner. I was becoming increasingly frustrated trying to lose weight as I was eating less and less and still putting on more weight! This is where Tracey’s program become so revolutionary to me as I was able to feel more satisfied and yet I managed to lose 8kgs of body fat and more importantly have kept it off for over 6 months now. Not only have I lost a lot of weight but I feel more energetic and my whole quality of life has improved. I would urge anybody who is serious about creating wellbeing for themselves to try Tracey Lee Morley’s clinic and programs – they will give you a new lease on life. Thanks again. Kind regards Pamela Wright” Pam Wright: ‘I lost 8kg and feel more energetic and my whole quality of life has improved.’ Read Pam’s story online.

Local News Increased tourism funding The sum of $10.5 million for regional tourism in additional funding over three years is long overdue, but its great news and welcomed by Northern Rivers Tourism said its CEO Russell Mills last week. Currently Northern Rivers Tourism’s government funding is $111,000 a year and this has the poten-

tial to more than double, with the possibility of further funding where it is matched by industry and local government. ‘The additional funding gives us a rare opportunity to build the capacity of regional tourism organisations to develop sustainable tourism strategies,’ he said

Amitayus provides in-home care In 1994, a group of people around Mullum had a mutual friend who knew he was dying and wanted to stay at home. His friends responded by putting a team together to look after all his practical and emotional needs. With the ‘hands-on’ support of his team of carers, he lived the rest of his life as comfortably as possible, with his friends at his side, and his dignity and freedom of choice fully supported. He knew he was loved, and he died peacefully. Full of the inspiration derived through their time with Marcus, these friends called a town meeting, and the seeds of Amitayus Hospice Service were sown. He was the first of many people whose company our volunteers have shared at this most vulnerable and personal time in their lives. Amitayus (meaning ‘love and compassion’) is a nondenominational, not-forprofit volunteer organisation which helps primary carers to look after their loved ones in their own homes. ‘Our clients may be physically weakening and dying, but very much alive in their feelings, and sensitive to what goes on around them,’ says the group. ‘Carers often speak of their gratitude for the opportunity to have served someone who has died, each for their own reasons: ‘After years of willing his life on, way beyond expectation, and despite the debilitating effects of motor neurone disease on his body, Ben surprised us one afternoon when,

for the first time, he stayed in bed. He confided to us that he couldn’t go on, it was too hard. After a long and emotional silence, I told him that if he could use his strength to “let go” rather than continue to fight, if he could do that for himself, those of us who loved him, especially his family, would understand. He looked up at me, closed his eyes and fell asleep. Tears in our eyes, Sanjay and I smiled at each other, feeling privileged to share such an intimate moment with Ben. He died a few days later.’ (Don, carer) ‘Hey Big Ben, what an example of human courage, resilience and dignity you showed me. All intermingled with coffees, chuckles, frustration with the English alphabet, and wrapped in strong male connection. I’ll treasure it! Goodbye my friend. Thank you for being in my life.’ (Saddhen, carer) ‘We have no religious affiliation and no agenda other than providing our support, free of charge, and we rely on donations from the community to operate our serv-

ice. Our fully-trained volunteers work cooperatively with our clients’ medical practitioners (doctors, community health and palliative care nurses) to ensure that all their practical and emotional needs are provided for. And in many cases, having the help of our volunteers can give significant respite and relief to the primary carer. ‘Thanks to the “angels” from Amitayus, who visited and assisted in providing for Mark’s every desire. From massage, reading wonderful stories, meditation, hairdressing, helping with birthday celebrations, to errands, the list goes on! I was able to continue my work with the occasional respite, and I felt at ease knowing I was supported by these caring people from Amitayus.’ Sharon (Binna Burra) ‘Because our carers are usually working with people who are physically quite frail and may be dying soon, we’re often asked “How do you deal with that? It must be very difficult.” ‘Despite the challenges that can arise in any health-

care situation, our carers relate to clients simply as they do to anyone who is still very much alive. We’re conscious that we’re there to serve, not to “feel sorry for” or “rescue” anyone (as if we could!) As in any other relationship, an initial moment of uneasiness usually gives way to relaxation. ‘We’ve noticed that over the last few years more families have decided to care for their loved ones at home themselves. They rally the troops and discover that they’ve got the help and the heart to do it, to keep Mum in her own bed, looked after by her “babies”! ‘We often go to interviews, expecting to be asked to put a team of carers together. And after talking at length about the various practical, medical and emotional issues that can present themselves, the family calls us back to say that they’ve decided that, with the help of community health and palliative care nursing, they can do it. And they want to! ‘Despite our presumed reason for being there, this outcome is the best for everyone. What’s more natural than families caring for their own and helping them to die in their own home? Those who help look after a dying friend, lover or family member become intimate with that simple fact. And the fear most of us were taught can be transformed, and our experiences can help us prepare for and accept our own death.’ To contact Amitayus, please call 6684 3808.

NRMA gives $5,000 to climate action group NRMA Insurance has announced North Coast Climate Action Group as the recipient of a 2008 community help Grant, providing the local organisation with funding to the value of $5000. The group will use the Communityhelp Grant funding to turn a local home into a sustainable open house. The public will then be able to view the changes

made to the home in order to demonstrate ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. NRMA Insurance Byron Bay spokesperson Tim Winders said the Communityhelp Grants program is designed to assist local community groups improve safety within their local area. ‘It makes sense that NRMA Insurance works with local groups like the North Coast

Climate Action Group to help implement this type of program to educate local communities on how they can incorporate sustainable initiatives into everyday living,’ Mr Winders said. ‘Each year we encourage community organisations that fit the criteria to apply. It is fantastic to see the North Coast Climate Action Group be successful this year.

‘The Communityhelp Grants program is a great example of how NRMA Insurance works closely with local communities to address local issues.’ Mr Winders said more information about the Communityhelp Grants program was available by calling into the NRMA office on the corner of Butler and Lawson Streets or by visiting www. nrma.com.au.

Your catchment needs your help James Jackson’s property at Federal borders the Wilsons River. He is a member of Jasper Landcare Group, and the overarching Richmond Landcare Inc, which is restoring the land bordering Wilsons River, our new source of drinking water. James was invited by Rous Water to be part of the Wilsons River Catchment Management Plan Working Group, which has been established to make sure there is plenty of community input to management of activities in the catchment of the Wilsons River. The Catchment Working Group ‘may well help Rous Water to identify issues that may not be visible to them,’ says James. ‘It fast tracks the identiďŹ cation of such issues, it fast tracks the public sensitivities and the mood toward a plan and allows interest groups, whether that’s the canoe group, the dairy farmers association or the local councils to a forum to express the views that are important to them.’ This is reinforced by Graham Correy from Norco, who is an industry representative on the Working Group, who said, ‘Each stakeholder has his or her own area of expertise, and being able to discuss that is important.

Are you a wizz with a sewing-machine, thread and scissors? Byron Youth Service is currently seeking community volunteers to become involved in its upcoming ’Crazy For Fashion’ course. The program offers young people the opportunity to learn introductory sewing skills for the fashion industry in a dynamic and inter-

esting environment that will be facilitated by an experienced sewing tutor. If you would like to make an expression of interest in becoming a ‘Fashion Mentor’ on this fabulous program, please contact BYS mentoring coordinator, Rosalie Bryant, either by phone: 6685 7777 ext 4, or email mentoring@bys.org. au.

James Jackson (and LuLu) stand behind the cattle fence that protects the new plants along the riparian zone on his Federal property.

The beneďŹ t to the catchment is that all the issues related to the catchment are being identiďŹ ed and being addressed as part of the plan. It’s a much better way than if it was just being done internally by Rous Water.’ Graham also lives in the Wilsons River catchment on Coopers Creek, and is personally interested in its water quality. From his industry perspective, however, Graham says that ‘Norco has renewed its focus on the environment and are looking

at what they can do to keep the water healthy.’ You too can have your say about what you think is important to manage in the Wilsons River catchment, or take the opportunity to ďŹ nd out about what work has been done already towards a Catchment Management Plan. A series of four information days are planned for early September. These will be held in Lismore, Corndale, Bangalow and at the Big Scrub Rainforest Day. In Lismore go to

Riverside Park next to the bridge on Saturday 6 September 6, 9am-noon; Corndale Hall on Sunday September 7, 9am-noon; the EnviroDad tent at the Fatherhood Festival in Bangalow on Sunday September 7, 1pm4pm; or to Big Scrub Rainforest Day at Rocky Creek Dam on Sunday September 14, 10am-1pm. More details about the info days are available by emailing wilsonsriver@sustainablefutures. com.au or visiting www.rouswater.nsw.gov.au.

OUR SUSTAINABLE FUTURE Byron Shire Council Elections Sept 13 2008 Authorised by P. Morrisey 230 Mafeking Road Goonengerry NSW 2480

Effective invective: the curse of our times Margo Sutton What’s the most used swear word/insult/curse in Australia? We all know it, but I listened hard for a few days just to prove the point. There’s a primary school round the corner, so I sat on the front verandah and listened to the kids coming past after the 3pm release. Yep. The good old F word rang out loud and clear and often, out of the mouths of those freshfaced juniors. Sometimes in annoyance as in get fucked or fuck off, sometimes in wonder – what the fuck? Sometimes in admiration – that’s fuckin’ ďŹ lth, man! I sat near some teenagers and eavesdropped. Just the same. Still fresh faced and young, still the same old misused verb, often followed by the C word, punctuating almost every sentence.Workplace? When the printer won’t print and the computer goes down, the F is it. And it’s an unwise person who consoles the worker who forgot to save before the computer collapsed with the words ‘shit happens’. He or she should just piss off and stop behaving like a fuckwit. Or a pissant. As in most countries Aussies use insults and swearing as part of social ritual with their peer group. Most kids spruce up their language when adults are talking to them. But it is rather dreary to hear everyone misusing the word that describes the act that brought us into the world in the ďŹ rst place, and using it with such boring frequency, whether it is to curse or express amazement, disbelief, awe, or excitement.

Illustration by Matt Halloran.

Abuse words do wear out over time. Sex-related words are still offensive to some, but racial and ethnic swearwords are now the true obscenities. But there is an interesting sexist slant to our most used swearwords. Call a male a sissy, or an old woman, and you are being nasty. Saying a woman has ‘got balls’ is praising her strength of character. However females can, and frequently do, describe males as dickheads. Other words of insult, favoured by our schoolboys in particular, are ‘girl’ and ‘gay’. As in accusing each other of acting like one. It seems our swear words and insults are just as homophobic and sexually oriented as they are all around the world. For instance, the most overused word in Finnish is vittu, the equivalent of our fuck, and it’s used as often and in the same way. Hemmetti, however, is a mild

Finnish curse, safe to use in front of one’s grandmother. It means darn or hell. The Finns are hardworking and well educated so they have plenty of insults for the lazy or less able, such as ‘useless as a nun’s nipples’. If you are called a serpentini in Finnish, it means you are like a party streamer which pops out, streams and falls in a heap – you are full of impractical ideas. There is a difference between insults and ritual banter. In the pub, ‘How are you going you old bastard/ bugger,’ is now quite affectionate, and comes from the basic Latin Senex nequissime! (You old bastard!) Of course, the attitude and intention of the insulter is crucial as to how the swearing is received. Common to all nations are insults about appearance, cuckolded men, dimwittedness and curses involving instructions to go off and perform various sexual acts.

In Italy there are poetic duels called contrasti, in which poets compete to outdo one another in clever and witty insults. Rather like rap contests. In China and Japan it’s not done for women to insult or curse. South Africa is a rich melting pot of insults across its many languages, appreciated by both sexes. Rooinek (pronounced roy-nek) is Afrikaans for redneck, as in white English-speaking people – exposure to the sun turns their pasty white skin blistering red. The most likely insult in Turkey is son of a donkey, and in Arabic a father might call his son little donkey if he is doing something silly. The ultimate insult in Arabic is kalb (dog), because in Islamic culture dogs are unclean animals. Kalb is OK to yell in a road rage event, or to pay back really bad behaviour. Aussie-english insults include drongo and dag, Canadian hoser means idiot, munter in NZ is someone aggressive and dumb, and a NZ boho is like an Aussie feral. A Glaswegian might say ‘stop hingin aboot the house like a fart in a trance,’ and in America, Dr Dre’s rap song ‘Fuck Tha Police, has the immortal line ‘the jury has found you guilty of being a red-neck, whitebread, chicken-shit motherfucker.’ African-American Rap is a rich source of invective and invention, but perhaps America now holds the record for some of the most obscene words in current use – rendering and collateral damage – true excrement of the mouth.

Green groups blast Splendour DA report Local environment groups, Conservation of North Ocean Shores (CONOS), Byron Environment Centre (BEC) and Byron Environment and Conservation Organisation (BEACON) have called Byron Council’s Planning Report, recommending approval for a ‘Trial’ Splendour in the Grass festival at Yelgun, a sham. ‘The report is confusing and contradictory and outlines eight legal reasons under the EP&A Act for refusal,’ said the groups in a press release last Monday. ‘For example, a ‘Place of Assembly’ is a prohibited land use within a 7(k) Habitat zone. The report conďŹ rms that the development does not comply with the zoning requirements of the Byron Local Environment Plan (B,LEP), but nevertheless recommends its approval.

‘Council has given the go ahead for Splendour to carry out extensive permanent infrastructure for a “trial� event only, clearly preparing the site for more intensive development in the future. ‘A recent article in The Australian newspaper quoted [Splendour director] Jessica Ducrou as saying, “the new venue could be used all year round for a variety of local arts and culture projects,� which is a clear indication. ‘It is an absolute travesty that Council’s Planning Department has failed to recognise Council’s past involvement in protecting this unique site. ‘Council’s decision contravenes its own Conservation Biodiversity Strategy, Byron Flora & Fauna Study and Wildlife Corridor Mapping. ‘It is contrary to the stance taken by the NSW Labor government which has

invested millions of dollars towards protecting Marshall’s Ridge wildlife corridor because it provides a crucial link between the coastal reserve system through to the Mt Warning caldera. ‘The importance of Marshall’s Ridge cannot be underestimated. As far back as 1992, [Council] General Manager Barry Pullinger acknowledged the cultural significance of the Jones Road ridgeline and adopted a 7(k) Habitat zoning. It is the most easterly Wildlife Corridor in the Byron Shire, and the most easterly Wildlife Corridor on the Australian mainland. None of this information was outlined in Council’s Papers on the Jones Road Underpass (Item 4.4) and despite its importance, six Councillors voted to approve the tunnel and to the bulldozing of this ridgeline.

‘In granting approval, Council has not only compromised one of Byron Shire’s most ecologically sensitive areas, unique for both its natural and cultural values, but it has compromised the wildlife corridor and habitat of numerous threatened fauna species already at risk of extinction. It is of great concern that this development approval could set a precedent in NSW due to its close proximity to a gazetted Nature Reserve. ‘Prior to Council’s determination of the DA, Splendour in the Grass lodged an appeal in the Land & Environment Court against Council for “deemed refusal�. ‘The appeal is still before the court and has been adjourned until August 28. The protection of this area is paramount, the battle is far from over.’

The elusive chimera of free trade

Australia produces a great deal more than large, wheeled metal artefacts, even if the beneďŹ ts of education, tourism and science are often less tangible. by Mungo MacCallum bailed them out; and year after year the government caved in, but the car moguls always wanted more. Obviously they would never stop their demands; why should they, when they won every time? So let’s stop throwing good money after bad and call their bluff. And if they do pick up their assembly lines and go offshore, well good riddance. Other industries, particularly mining, are screaming for skilled labour and the displaced workers need not be displaced for long. And of course, imported cars will be a couple of thousand dollars cheaper. Put like this it’s a nobrainer, and makes Industry Minister Kim Carr’s claims that the car industry is absolutely central to Australia’s economy and vital to maintaining its defence capability look small-minded and selfserving. And Kevin Rudd’s poignant aside that he would not want to be Prime Minister of a country that didn’t make anything has never been anything but an exercise in nostalgia; Australia produces a great deal more than large, wheeled metal arte-

thought that the report by Ross Garnaut, himself an economist, put something pretty close to the purist view. The strategy to reduce carbon emissions was to be as nearly universal as possible. Exemptions could be made for exporting industries which were genuinely competitive with countries which had not yet introduced carbon trading but these would be phased out as quickly as possible. Purely domestic industries would just have to wear the extra cost or pass it on to consumers, and this included the big coal-ďŹ red generators. The aim was, after all, to force people to cut down their emissions, either by becoming more efďŹ cient or by ďŹ nding alternatives. To provide protection for the worst of the worst would be inconsistent and absurd. You might have expected the tariff-busters in the media, the incorruptibles who railed against the propping up of the car industry, to roar their approval. But no. Garnaut, they trumpeted, was out to wreck the Australian economy, to destroy our international competitiveness, to

Ah, the unique sensation of an imminent election. At the time of publishing there are just 25 sleeps until the polling booths open and the fate of the Shire will be determined for another four years. The full list of candidates was only disclosed on Wednesday but half a dozen of them had already placed advertisements in last week’s Echo. Our online forum is top-heavy with electoral pontiďŹ cation. Everyone is clearly itching for the scrap and the ďŹ rst important item on the hustings will be the Meet the Candidates event in Mullumbimby on Saturday. All those putting themselves forward for election should attend, despite the organiser being the Community Action Network (a well-known den of pinks and greens). CAN has enlisted a capable and neutral moderator in Mick O’Regan and candidates of every hue can be assured of a fair hearing. CAN is not the only organisation interested in the election result. Byron United has been running advertisements and press releases for some time, all of them highly critical of the current Council, and some of them containing either deliberate misinformation or a vacuous ignorance of the limits of local government. As a paid-up member of Byron United, The Echo must have missed the meeting where the membership voted to swing the organisation behind Ross Tucker’s campaign for mayor. Their survey of candidates will ‘rank them against Byron United’s values,’ so judging by the advertisements run so far we can expect the shopkeepers to recommend the election of Tucker and other anti-Green candidates. Not that Byron United is alone in thinking that Cr Tucker should be given a go. One of the most difďŹ cult things to preserve in politics is memory. The passage of time and the arrival of new residents unaware of Shire history conspire to encourage amnesia. The fact is that Cr Tucker, although not mayor at the time, commanded a majority of conservative councillors during the Council of 1991-95. In that term, in alliance with the then general manager Max Eastcott, he presided over huge and inappropriate capital spending, together with neglect of developer contributions, and the use of restricted funds to prop up the ailing general fund. The result was that the next general manager, Ray Kent, had to announce at a public meeting in 1997 that the Shire was in desperate straits over misused funds. In fact, it was only recently that Council got clear of its loan burden from the bad old days. Ross Tucker and Jan Barham, his counterpart on the other side of politics, will always have a following eager to vote for their leaders regardless of record or policy. It is for the holders of the middle ground, many of whom have arrived in the last few years, to judge which direction, development or stewardship, best represents the genuine long-term interests of the Shire, and therefore which of the clamouring gang of candidates will best serve that direction. As always The Echo will strive to bring you the best and most comprehensive coverage of candidates’ views of themselves and each other. We have invited them all to answer a short questionnaire and we will publish the results, together with photos, proďŹ les and policies, in the issue immediately before the election on September 13. When you make up your mind, we want you to be in full possessions of all the facts, not just the spin. – David Lovejoy, publisher

eliminate the entire industrial sector and send up us back to the caves. Whatever happened, we should not even think of getting too far ahead of the rest of the world; we had to wait for everyone else to act before we did because we were only a small nation and the big polluters would sink us. If we felt we absolutely had to do something, then perhaps a sort of a token scheme to be introduced very gradually and preferably not until some time in the future just might be acceptable if everyone who could conceivably be affected by it was generously compensated, but that was the limit. Anything else would be just too much pain for too little gain. These, of course, are exactly the arguments the car industry has used for decades against these very same economic purists and just as it has won in the past, so the economists will probably win this time around. Of course the stakes are a bit higher; this time if we do nothing we stand to lose rather more than a few cheap imported cars. But economists have always been a bit unwilling to consider the long run. It was the great John Maynard Keynes who said: ‘In the long run, we shall all be dead.’Yes, and that’s just the point. But before we go it would be nice if the economists could decide whether they want to be theorists or politicians. One thing is for sure: they’re not scientists.

lmost everyone agrees that free trade is a ďŹ ne ideal. But like most ďŹ ne ideals it is easy to rort and difďŹ cult to live up to. Most countries espouse it in theory but find ways around it in practice; even in dictatorships the politicians are unwilling to alienate groups as powerful as farmers or car-workers and there is almost always a short-term advantage, both economic and political, to be gained by affording them some protection. Moreover there are genuine worries than free trade can, in the wrong hands, become open slather with the big boys trampling unimpeded on the little ones. The last talks in the Doha round collapsed because the Americans refused to allow small economies the right to erect temporary barriers against the dumping of surplus goods by the large ones. Free trade is a ďŹ ne ideal for a Utopia, but in an imperfect world it may well be an unattainable one. However, none of this worries the economic purists, who insist that any kind of protection is not only morally unsound, but economically counter-productive. It not only pushes up prices for consumers but also distorts the market by directing funds to inefďŹ cient or unsuitable industries rather than allowing their investment where it will do most good. Pulling down barriers may cause some short term pain, but it is more than balanced by long term gain. And this applies particularly to the Australian manufacturing sector, feather-bedded for decades against real competition from imports.

Letters

Life less rosy with Woolies ■ Diane Hart’s ‘incensed’ feelings (Letters, August 12) at the hypocrisy displayed by Woolworths’ comments in Sydney Morning Herald’s article of July 26 were shared by me, especially the remark that the Mullumbimby site came with ‘a lot of baggage’. That seems to me to be a very rude way of describing residents’ concerns about the potential ruination of their quality of life by a Big Box in a back street. By insulting the community in this way, Woolworths deflects responsibility from the real issue, which is that the site is inappropriate as is their model of commerce with its dependence on fossil fuels to grow, transport and sell inferior foods. Also in the Sydney Morning Herald (August 11), Paul Sheehan explores the Woolworths/Coles duopoly in the wake of the ACCC report, which he concludes is incongruous with the reality of their retailing. Interestingly, Sheehan outlines some of the shrewd ways that these giants operate, avoiding scrutiny. We are currently organising a link to these articles on www. mullumaction.org. Deborah Lilly

Coordinator Mullumbimby Community Action Network ■ So J McKay got the impression during her recent visit in Maleny that Woolworths’ arrival hasn’t had any negative impact on other businesses nor on anything else (Letters, August 5). Well, I am glad this visitor got such a positive picture while passing by but as a longterm local resident and ratepayer in

Mulcher needed I support Jill Moonie’s letter (last week’s Echo). The initiative of this council to have a ‘cleanup’ and pick up all the unwanted fridges, mattresses, etc, is no doubt very much appreciated by all of us in the Byron Shire (didn’t happen before in twenty years). Maybe our new council could be more environmentally conscious and emulate the Blue Mountains City Council. They send a mulcher around every street free of charge and turn the heavy green material which is left on the footpath by

Maleny I can assure her that reality is a little less rosy behind the scenes. Some smaller businesses have closed down although it is impossible to hold the new ‘predatory invader’ solely responsible for this. Traffic has definitely deteriorated since Woolies spread itself out in this particular part of town and the natural environment on land – and in the water – surrounding the ugly concrete box is more degraded too. As for aesthetics and Maleny’s tourism appeal in this particular location, there is no doubt that it is far less appealing than what it was before. The majority of folk in Maleny used to be very obidient, pleasant folk never in strife with the law, they followed proper process for several years in objecting against this project, all to no avail. It is a fact that when the Deen Brothers demolition firm came to Maleny with a 100+ police escort courtesy of the Queensland state government, almost all arrested on that black day were senior citizens, hardly your typical hippy radical. It is thanks to these conscienteous ‘oldies’, most of whom are local residents and ratepayers and quite a few dairy farmers, that the ongoing boycott is still running strong. In this time and age a well informed and active town as Maleny retains the right to make up its own mind about unsuitable commercial projects proposed for it. After all, it is the locals who are stuck with the consequences and the state government’s planning laws are far from perfect. Good luck, Mullumbimby, many Maleny folk feel for you. Gaby Luft

lors? I’m afraid there’s no record of their interest. Mr Ahern also tells us Council has taken away $325,000 from the project; not so. The money will be there when we need it and plans for the Library are intact. On the other hand, BU might need to be reminded that the Tuckerdominated Council of 91-95 did take away the $400,000 set aside for the new library when the Byron Council Chambers were sold and put it into the building of the Mullumbimby Chambers, an act much deplored by Byron residents and the

Prostate cancer Only a couple months of concern and tests and my 51 year old close friend has had to face life changing major surgery last week. Prostate cancer now affects more people than breast cancer and 980 men in NSW die from it each year. Two months ago my friend got a PSA reading of 47 (if you have a reading of 4, you need to take it seriously), his is the aggressive strain.

Yes, I’m referring to the recent council decision that threatens the future of the largely philanthropic venture, known as the Byron Entertainment Centre. An asset of great cultural potential, if allowed to continue. A gift in this town that has barely learnt of its existence, let alone its spatial wonder. It smacks of a sad lacking of remedial encouragement within our society for the poor underprivileged souls that appear as a result to have been allowed to regress back into dubious school children traits.

other kids’ sandwiches seems to have eluded them. An unfortunate predicament for the aficted maybe, but far worse for their victims, the Byron Entertainment Centre, and its people. Us. Should we ask why a man with enough wealth for over ten generations would speak so strongly against the Byron Entertainment Centre, a edgling business well away from his own honey pot of decades, and why would our Mayor make her casting vote to reject the DA for continuance of the only large indoor venue in our shire for recreation and events.

Byron Bay

Market threat The iconic Byron Bay market at Butler Street reserve is under threat from a variety of sources. The dwindling returns experienced by stallholders may reect a current retail trend but the lack of initiative shown by market management to promote the market effectively is a contributory factor. Newspaper advertising is negligible and

the market website is poorly implemented and out of date. The approval of major festivals (Splendour,Writers’ and Fatherhood) concurrent with Byron Market weekends further erodes stallholder revenue. Market management’s obligation to develop solutions with regard to site amenity and parking on the Butler St site in accordance with council plans has been neglected. Jan Mangleson’s inverted logic to move the market to the Red Devils site as a trafďŹ c improvement initiative represents a cynical attempt to privatise the market as the cash cow it is. With the absence of a bypass to the CBD the proposal will merely choke the town with trafďŹ c. The covenant between Council and the market demands that the profits from the market ow to the community as a benefit. Instead the Byron Bay Community Centre absorbs the cash which is disbursed through operational costs, wages and large interest payments on the loan deemed necessary to convert the BBCC building from a publicly owned community centre into what is essentially a user-pays ediďŹ ce to private

business. A request for an audit from the Department of Fair Trading will reveal what percentage of its income actually ows to the community in need. It is time for Council to review the ownership of the market, acknowledge a properly elected body to represent the stallholders’ interests, and to develop a

management model that beneďŹ ts the stallholders, the site and the community while incubating emerging local sustainable businesses. Duncan Shipley-Smith

The fragrance of Splendour lingers on‌ ■‘Good to have the town back’ was the oft-voiced and palpable feeling during the week after Splendour In The Grass. It seems to me that St Peter (who rarely misses an opportunity to tell us of his apparent boundless altruism) and the organisers of SITG just don’t get it! The Blues Festival was, for many years, an obvious addition to the ‘culture’ of the Shire but now it and SITG are far too big for the town. Peter, it’s not ‘ratbaggery’ to want these events to be anywhere but in our own backyard. It’s extreme pissed-offness. Over the weekend of SITG one neighbour

had two bikes stolen. Next door the mail box destroyed. Broken glass everywhere within a half hour of the start. Drunks all over Sunrise. And don’t get me started about the shopping trolleys. Not in your backyard, Peter, in ours. This is unacceptable antisocial behavour and I believe that the majority of the population see it as such. Of course this is not the view of everyone, but anecdotally it is apparent that most supporters live well away from the events or are of the vocal minority making a motza. There is shortly to be an election. Is it therefore feasi-

ble to hold a referendum at the same time? ‘Do you want large scale music festivals in the Shire?’ Yes or No. Tony Parker

Byron Bay ■I can’t take any more – the rubbish that is continually being written about Splendour ‘patrons’. My husband and myself, both now in our sensible 30s, attended Splendour 08 and even took our young children to see the Sunday afternoon sets. Our family attended to enjoy the music, the art, the experience and on a whole, the friendliest festival we have

ever attended (and there’s been a few pre-children). I would like to point out that we did not vomit, litter, grafďŹ ti, damage the vegetation, smash glass, use public spaces as toilets, etc etc etc‌ You no-fun-grumps should really stop tarring the entire Splendour-loving population with an ugly one-eyed brush!

grimy. And as well as the rubbish, sticks and logs made it look more like an obstacle course. Were I a visitor I wondered to myself whether I’d bother giving such a dirty beach a second chance. The jury is out on where this plastic comes from. CSIRO says that there is no conclusive evidence that rubbish ďŹ nds its way on currents from northern neighbors. Other bodies beg to differ. However the impact on marine life is conclusive and disturbing. After visiting the Australian Marine Wildlife Sanctuary in Ballina with grandchildren we were shocked to see harm to sea turtles affected by pollution. One marine turtle was recovering after swallowing a plastic bag. The outcome for turtles who eat plastic bags is an inability to get themselves underwater. All they can do is oat. This means that they cannot dive for food or sleep which they do on the bottom of the ocean. Apparently the scale of tourism is not grand enough yet to warrant the expense for councils of beach clean-

GM disaster Months ago the writer sent to The Echo a large document providing evidence that Genetically Modified (GM) plants were the cause of loss of bees or Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) of bees in the world. The basic thesis was that those insects (like bees) that are able to survive the GM Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) toxin in GM Bt crops only do so because of a strong and successful immune response to the Bt toxin. Secondly that insects generally and bees in particular lose their memory if they have any immune response. This is because the insects use protein in their memory formation and also in their immune response and favour using the protein for the immune response, sacriďŹ cing their memory formation in the process. If protein

(pollen) for GM Bt affected bees is in short supply (as in winter), then total loss of memory for bees is guaranteed. One third of British bees died this winter. A state government minister’s representative, the CSIRO’s top bee scientists, and the Australian Gene Regulator have all put in writing to the writer that CCD appears to be caused by an Australian Bee Virus, because nearly all the bees in Florida had that virus. But 86% of the bees in Europe associated with CCD had a completely different virus and virtually none had the Australian virus seen in Florida. Prince Charles’s recent statement that GM crops are an ‘absolute disaster’ is a signiďŹ cant understatement.

often wonder just exactly what the so called ‘Greens’councilllors have actualy achieved that could not have been done by the other interest servers on council in Byron Shire. Judging from the amount of development and the ongoing invasion of the town by those who want to escape their city pressured lives it is obvious that the place is being not loved to death but abused to the point where it is no longer recognisable from any other coastal tourist trap. The shoddy appearance of the streets in the CBD, the visually assaulting signage advertising to the ‘backpacker’ market and the overpriced goods and services indicates that Byron is no different really from any other place which has a nice ocean frontage and a few beaches. Like every other council area in NSW it suffers from the development mentality that has spread across the globe like a malevolent virus making just about every location with similar geography into a standardised and uniform centre for the rich and greedy. So when considering trying to ‘save’ your town from overdevelopment then all the indicators show that it is way too late and the rot that set in in the 1980s has become a malignant disease where the diagnosis can only be termi-

nal. With its rampaging culture of excess and self centred greed Byron is really no different to any place where westerners gather to ‘recreate’ and the wilful damgae done by those who want to make a few fast bucks seems irreversible and permanent. To all those bemoaning the ruination of the place, my condolences. It’s time to move to somehwre less hectic and more peaceful, though I do not fancy your

chance of success as even in the backhills where I live the discovery of the place by those with more money than taste has rendered it into another crumbling ediďŹ ce to stupidity and greed. M Mizzi

Opinions sharpen on the worth of candidates ■ Cr. John Lazarus must be applauded for his stance against the ‘trial’ Splendour festival proposed for Yelgun. He spoke passionately on behalf of the environment and the people north of the shire who strongly oppose this development. The overflowing council chambers clearly demonstrated that

people from all walks of life object to the impact this festival will have on their lifestyle and the rural amenity. Our Greens Councillor, Tom Tabart, representing the north of the shire, also vehemently opposed this development. Pity other Councillors, such as Jan Mangleson and Diane

ically engaged community that actively seeks to participate in local decision making and become a part of the outcomes. It is therefore surprising the extent to which this Council has devalued the positive role community has to play in formulating plans for its own future. Surprising how far Council has gone in ignoring local knowledge of conditions on the ground. Disturbing how time again, communities have been left exposed by this Council and forced to fend for themselves against unwarranted intrusions.

TONY HEESON

Woods, who were elected to represent residents from the north, did not vote the same way. They chose to ignore the overwhelming opposition to the Splendour festival and instead voted to support it, as did Cr Tucker, Cr Tardif and Cr Westheimer. Cr Tardif, who is running on a Labor ticket (this time around), has not done his homework on this one, or else he would know that the NSW Labor government has invested millions of dollars in the protection of this site. Not a good look for the Labor Party! With the local government elections drawing near, I urge voters out there to think very carefully on who to vote for. Ask yourself, who will actually listen to the people, evaluate the arguments and be prepared to the do the hard yards? I for one will be supporting John Lazarus, who is one councillor who is not afraid to listen to and support constituents from the north of the shire. His attendance and contribution at numerous meetings is testament to this.

Nino MacDonald

The Pocket ■ Byron United might like to consider withdrawing their perceived support for Ross Tucker as Mayor. At yesterday’s council meeting

he alone refused to support a Planning Agreement policy whereby infrastructure not currently covered by section 94 and 64 plans could be provided by developers. These agreements could be also used to obtain transparent benefits for the community in the areas of social/ cultural and environment and contribute to the sustainability of our community. Cr Tucker’s refusal to support these agreements highlights his negativity towards change and an inability to work constructively towards better outcomes for our community. He is not a good consideration for Mayor of our Shire. Of the Mayoral candidates only the current Mayor Cr Barham has the vision and pragmatism needed for the challenges ahead. I have worked with Jan for years and like all of us she ain’t perfect but she is a hell of a lot better than any of the other candidates, she works tirelessly and enthusiastically and understands the issues. She deserves to be reelected. Cr Peter Westheimer

Mullumbimby ■ Ross Tucker may want to suggest by his willingness to talk to The Echo (after a decade of sulking over Max Eastcott’s demise) that something fundamental has changed. But has it? His mildly amusing letter about whether or not he is a Catholic and/or member of the National Party looks rather like a distraction; these are hardly fundamental shire issues. His election blurb says he is ‘independent’, but is he now independent of the gross development lobby? His vote in favour of Splendour at Yelgun answers that one. One could hardly imagine a greater whack over the head for a quiet rural area than this. Ross: now that the Splendour crew have announced their intention to stage other events at the site as well as music do you still maintain this palpable nonsense about this merely being ‘a trial’? Ross is also on about ‘infrastructure’. So, Ross, what did you do to get sports fields when you ran the show in the early nineties? Nothing. Come on, Ross, you’re putting yourself up for chief executive of this shire, which is what the Mayor really is, but the clouds, questions and divisiveness of the past still hover around you, still attract the flies.

Convince us that your past performance (or non-performance) is no guide to the way you would do things in the future. We desperately need someone to believe in. Fast Buck$

Coorabell ■ I was interested to see Byron United’s advertisement calling for people to vote for ‘accountability and transparency’ and candidates with ‘business acumen’. In Lismore we’ve been electing the sort of councillors who BU would describe as having ‘business acumen’, and the result has been a council which has lost the trust of residents and businesspeople alike. Our councillors with their alleged ‘business acumen’ have embarked on a series of multi-million dollar projects with massive cost over-runs of up to three times the initial estimates, while creating a maintenance backlog for basic infrastructure stretching into the tens of millions of dollars. They have actively obstructed urban development in areas where it is supported by the community and business, while ramming through development elsewhere against enormous public objection. While maintaining a Iemma-esque $128,000 a year communications and media budget for their programme of ‘daily media liaison’, and ‘issue management’, councillors take advantage of a vacant press table to pass resolutions to overturn policy and prioritise the upgrading of roads they live on. As for ‘accountability and transparency’, you’ve got it pretty good compared with us. I can’t tell you how much money Lismore holds in reserves (funds which by definition are ‘reserved’ for specific purposes and aren’t meant to be arbitrarily reallocated) because our council doesn’t bother including it in their budget papers. By Lismore standards Byron Shire has achieved a miracle, with the perception of council as an ‘old boys club’ serving sectional interests and closed off from the community long since dead, and generally replaced by substantive and engaging debates on the issues. If the candidates BU are apparently supporting are anything like the Lismore councillors who are aligned with alleged ‘business interests’, electing them would be a giant leap backwards for the Byron Shire.

Comment Mungo MacCallum casts an eye over the local government candidates

The world in hues of Green and Brown

W

hat happens on September 13 won’t change the country, but it will certainly matter to the Shire. Whether it substantially changes things or not will depend on which of the seven candidates for mayor and 36 for council get the nod and, of course, what they do next. Sadly, experience has shown that once elected they can transmogrify. More than one Dr Jekyll has revealed his inner Mr Hyde once he has taken his seat. Still, we can only judge them on their actions and words to date, so here goes. Last time around I was unwilling to endorse Jan Barham and somewhat reluctant in voting for her; while she was clearly preferable to the perennially Brown Ross Tucker I was worried that she and her fellow Greens would be a bit too feral and impractical on too many fronts. I have since publicly recanted; Barham has proved to be both competent and practical, and without losing her dedication has been able to negotiate and compromise with the extremists around her. Sure, there have been problems and frustrations, holiday letting and the Ocean Shores sporting fields among the most prominent. But she has genuinely tried to solve them and while progress has not been as fast as many would like, this is the nature of a varied and vigorous council. Her administration has been a vast improvement on most of its predecessors and this time around I shall endorse

her and vote for her with pleasure and enthusiasm. Once again her only serious opposition is Tucker, who will get preferences from Bob Tardif, Tina Petroff and Tony Heeson; this is probably the main reason they are standing. Jack Sugarman and John Lazarus are presumably in it for the publicity.

I

n the past few elections the Green-Brown vote has split has been about 60-40, which would appear to guarantee a Green majority. But with a lot of new arrivals and a carefully selected list of issues the Browns have now embarked on a determined and well-funded campaign to convince voters that they are actually the moderates, the true representatives of the majority. Leading the charge is Byron United, which does not, despite its name, have anything to do with a united Byron. It is in fact the old Chamber of Commerce, the shire’s principal business

lobby group. Nothing wrong with that, of course, but it would be more honest to admit it. And despite what appears to be a plethora of policies the group’s only real aim is to get rid of the Greens and install a more businessfriendly council.

G

iven that the Tucker ticket has adopted exactly the same slogans as Byron United, there is little doubt about who will get the benefit of its considerable war chest. It should be noted that the Tucker ticket for council is not simply Group F; Groups D, E and H are also led by veteran Tuckerites. Again, presumably the purpose is to ensure a steady flow of preferences. In the circumstances the temptation is simply to vote above the line for Groups A, B and C; if you want to keep going put G next and the rest anywhere. But this course, while safe, is unsatisfying as you lose the opportunity to vent spleen against individuals. Voting below the

line enables you to put the serial turncoat Bob Tardif last; a neat 36 against his name will be quite cathartic. And while it pains me to say it, the Labor Party also deserves to be punished by the voters for giving him aid and succour. Another who should be well into double figures is the Green reject John Lazarus. Apart from his personal behaviour, Lazarus was elected on the promise that would seek to rid the shire of all domestic animals. It would be simpler and less divisive to rid the council of John Lazarus. And it is deeply depressing to find

that my amiable publican Ken Barnham has gone over to the Dark Side and joined the Tucker team. My vote will seek to return him to his rightful place behind the bar of the Billinudgel. Finally as a resident of Ocean Shores I resent the suggestion that the deeply parochial likes of Tina Petroff and Rene Thalmann represent my interests. They don’t, any more than they live up to their name of ‘Shire Wide Action’. But while all this is fun, the key is to keep the probusiness Browns in a minority. And if a lot of the names on the ballot paper are unfamiliar and it all looks too confusing there is the straightforward alternative: vote above the line. It really is as simple as A,B,C.

Its co-owner and executive chef Virginia Redmond, pictured, will be making a guest appearance at Fresca (Bangalow Hotel) on Thursday August 28 for a special fund-raising dinner for Byron Youth Service. With Cicciolina since 1993, she has been largely responsible for the seasonal menu of modern Mediterranean cuisine which is the driving force behind the long-term success of the restaurant among residents and visitors alike. An enduring friendship with Fresca’s head chef Patrick Hobbs – with whom she completed her apprenticeship in Noosa some 20 years ago – has resulted in this exciting event. She will be in charge of a stunning 4-course menu – white anchovy and broccoli crostini; blue swimmer crab souffle; rack of lamb and semifreddo – matched by Scotchmans Hill wines.

Lions distribute their largesse Story & photo Eve Jeffery The government agrees that without the support of volunteer groups like the rural fire brigade, the volunteer rescue squad and the Lions Club, they would be about $380million worse off, but the reality is that without these groups there would probably be none of the services that these groups provide. Lions currently operate in 202 countries, the first in Australia was formed in Lismore by Bill Tresize in 1947. The local district of Lions is the Q1 which services the communities of southern Queensland and North East New South Wales. The local Bryon group is very active and has been instrumental in raising about $50,000 per year in recent times for both local community projects and for international aid. Last week the group gathered at Bo’s Restaurant in Byron Bay to show their appreciation to several local businesses for their support and to hand over about $6000 worth of cheques to the Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service, the Byron Childhood Early Intervention Service and theYaowawit School and Orphanage in Kapong Thailand, which is a

government-approved welfare boarding school. The school looks after children suffering from the aftermath of the tsunami, the effects of diseases or appalling social conditions. Its main task is to prepare the children as best as possible for their individual future, giving them a realistic chance to break out of the circle of poverty successfully. The Byron Lions have a close relationship with the school – they sponsor one of the resident children and they recently donated a tractor to the school, saving them

untold amounts of manpower hours and furthering the cause of providing for students by about ten years. Recently elected Q1 District Governor John McCrae travelled from Mt Walker in Queensland to celebrate with the Byron Lions. John was really excited to be in Byron and spoke about the importance of community support groups, his only concern being the ageing population within the Lions. ‘Membership is getting low,’ he said. ‘We don’t want anyone leaving. Even if someone dies I want them to

come to me and hand deliver their written death certificate. But in all seriousness there are not enough young people joining up. I had to close the Nerang club last week and that really hurts.’ ‘By joining Lions you have great support. On their own people can do great things. As a part of a group people can do even greater things.’ Lions Clubs is the biggest service group in the world.

Organisers of a free public forum focusing on China and Human Rights issues, featuring international human rights lawyer David Matas from Canada, were forced to look for a new venue to host the event at the eleventh hour after Bond University cancelled their booking days before the event was to take place. In a press release sent to The Echo, forum organisers said, ‘After several unsuccessful attempts to meet or speak with Bond University officials, the Vice-Chancellor Robert Stable of Bond University telephoned the organisers. ‘Seeking an explanation as to why the forum was so hastily cancelled, organisers were told that Bond University does not allow such “political events”, even though other officials were told exactly what the forum was about. ‘The venue was booked and paid for on July 7 and cancelled on July 28 by email. Even the Law Department at Bond was helping promote the event. ‘There is a real concern over this cancellation so near to the event and that it may well have to do with

the Chinese students on campus. Events with a focus on China’s human rights record have always attracted the attention of Chinese embassies and consulates both in Australia and abroad. ‘Bond University has a significant number of Chinese international students and with the Beijing Olympics only days away, it can be safely assumed that Chinese embassies and consulates are keeping a close watch on events that could be seen to tarnish China’s image.’ Bond University ViceChancellor Professor Robert Stable told The Echo, ‘Bond University, a not for profit and independent institution, made the decision to cancel this external group’s booking when it came to management’s attention that they planned to use the University’s facilities as a forum for what could be considered to be political purposes. As this is against Bond University policy, the booking was cancelled and a full refund of the deposit issued.’ The forum was eventually held at the Life Education Centre in Broadbeach on August 4.

$1199 In October 1999 Ross Tucker published an editorial in the Mullumbimby Star, in which he blamed the newspaper’s temporary closure (and consequent loss of jobs) on a former employee. The item appeared shortly after the employee succeeded in her claim that she had been underpaid by The Star’s proprietors, Ross Tucker and Harold Ross. Distressed, she approached Fast Buck$ (John Anderson), who in December 1999 published a strongly-worded response in The Echo. In 2001 Tucker and Ross commenced defamation proceedings against The Echo and Fast Buck$.With the aid of lawyers provided by our insurers we defended the case meticulously; Fast Buck$ represented himself in court. A jury dismissed Harold Ross’s claims and most of the matters alleged to be defamatory, but sustained some. Subsequently a judge awarded $125,000 damages plus interest and costs to Tucker. We appealed as far as the legal system would allow, but an application to the High Court for special leave to appeal against the decision of the NSW Court of Appeal was refused in June 2008, leaving the judgement against The Echo and Fast Buck$ to stand. Fast Buck$ points to the articles and pamphlets he has written criticising judges in the strongest terms and believes he has been victimised by an inherently unfair system. We believe, along with most of the legal opinion in Sydney, that we have been unlucky to lose a case which turns on one judge’s new interpretation of an arcane corner of the law. I asked Echo business manager Simon Haslam to summarise the main legal arguments. ‘We defended the allegations against Tucker made in The Echo on the basis that they were true, and that the paper acted reasonably in

publishing them. Before Acting Justice Patten of the Supreme Court in 2005, we argued in particular that the article was entitled to qualified privilege under common law as a legitimate response to an attack, and pursuant to s22 of the Defamation Act. ‘On a number of key points, the trial judge preferred the evidence of proprietor Tucker to that of the former employee. The Echo unsuccessfully challenged his factual findings in the NSW Court of Appeal, and also appealed against his rejection of its case on the basis that his legal reasoning on the key defences was inadequate and incorrect. ‘In the Court of Appeal Justice Hodgson wrote the April 2007 judgement, and the other two judges just agreed with that judgement. The basis on which Hodgson rejected The Echo’s defence is that, “in my opinion, Echo Publications did have the privilege to publish [the former employee’s] response, but not to publish Fast Buck$’s vigorous endorsement of it”. Hodgson found that The Echo article contained material which went beyond the response to Tucker’s original attack. He accepted that the additional material did not give rise to any defamatory imputations, but nevertheless held that the inclusion of this “endorsement” material caused the defence to fail. ‘The “endorsement” point had never been argued by Tucker’s lawyers. Owing to deficiencies in that judgement, The Echo successfully sought leave to further argue its statutory defences, which were rejected, but we were denied a further hearing on the qualified privilege matters, including the “endorsement” point. ‘The Echo then sought special leave to appeal to the High Court. The essential argument on this point was that previous case law in relation to the “reply to

attack” privilege had shown that once The Echo’s privilege to publish a “reply to an attack” had been established (which the court said it had), it could only be lost in cases where the reply had an element of malice (the court found it did not) or was irrelevant (the court found it was not irrelevant), but could not be lost just because of this issue of Fast Buck$’s “endorsement”, which was a new legal principle. ‘Less than 10% of civil special leave applications to the High Court are granted, with only certain cases being accepted as having the right combination of facts and issues suitable for full argument of legal principles before the High Court. Those cases accepted have a combination of facts and legal principles that make them suitable for arguing important legal points, which will then apply across the relevant area of the law. Special leave was refused in this case on the basis that, while the principles in the Court of Appeal judgement were not necessarily correct, the factual substratum made this case an unsuitable vehicle for special leave.’ So this is where it has come to rest. The lawyers are uneasy, but the judgement stands. Cr Tucker has received his damages, and Fast Buck$ is left furious and broke. In view of the proximity of the Council elections we print this account in order to forestall the circulation of any exaggerated version of events. We believe that as a community newspaper we have a duty to provide a forum for free speech, and we take that duty seriously. In this case it meant providing a right of reply to a former employee of another newspaper who was attacked in that newspaper. Despite the unfortunate (for us) consequences, we do not regret the decision to publish when we believe the public interest is at stake.

realising a sense of self, nurturing their living skills and helping them take a place in society. After filling a temporary six month position in the Arts and Craft Program at The Buttery in 1983, Barry Evans applied for and acquired the job when it opened as a permanent position. Twenty-five years on, Evans is still at The Buttery, now as its director. Back in the 80s, while employed as art teacher, Evans soon learned that his job description entailed a great deal more than was initially evident. As a teacher, Evans found himself involved in all aspects of the program and with such a great deal of interaction between teacher and residents, he naturally became somewhat of a confidant. Evans then gained counsellor training and became formally involved with individual residents and group work. By 1988 Barry Evans was an integral part of The Buttery program, and when the then director left unexpectedly, Evans was thrust into the temporary director’s post. Once again the six month employment became a full time position, and one Evans occupies twenty years on. ‘I didn’t see myself ending up here when I first left Sydney,’ Barry said. ‘My training was as a secondary teacher, in art, but I also had majors in psychology and anthropology too. Ironically, my thesis was actually on the evolution of communities, and essentially that is where this all comes from. ‘Captain John McKnight started The Buttery in 1973 in direct response to the influx of young people to the north coast due to the Aquarius Festival, a celebration of life and all that was alternate to mainstream society at the time. It was an age where the alternate model included the notion that people could live together as communities. ‘The Aquarius Festival meant plenty of young people intoxicated by drugs and alcohol in the area, and therefore a greater need for youth services and The Buttery opened its doors in direct response to that. It became a community in itself – a therapeutic community.’ In the early days of The Buttery there were no strong evidence-based intervention programs. However, internationally, twelve step groups, such as AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) and later NA (Narcotics Anonymous), were emerging.

Buttery director Barry Evans in his natural environment. Photo Lou Beaumont.

By 1979, Buttery staff with AA and/or NA training had brought a view of addiction from the twelve step perspective. The Buttery adopted the treatment philosophy for its residential program, that sees abstinence from any mood altering substances as the desirable outcome. Residents were no longer being treated solely for the substance abuse they presented with on admission to The Buttery, but instead all mood altering substances. So, as a simplistic example, a drug addict would also be asked to abstain from alcohol and vice versa.

members, skills which grow and diversify with regular internal and external training, keeping our treatment perspective broad.’ Under his directorship, the core focus for the residential program has remained the same, that of the therapeutic community and abstinence as the treatment outcome. Periphery philosophies, processes within The Buttery community itself, styles of intervention, education material and staff skills, on the other hand, have evolved over the years and will continue to do so under Evans. ‘Our program has become

‘People arrive here feeling beaten, desperate, not knowing what to do. Within six months or so you can already see that they have more self-confidence and that they are taking more responsibility.’ Evans said, ‘Additionally, the program began to address all aspects of addiction: physical, social, emotional, mental and to some degree spiritual. There are also family, genetic and psycho-social elements to addiction. ‘While the twelve step programs were an initial influence, our program has of course evolved into a more complex model now. We have quite an eclectic approach but of course our residents and those involved in our outreach programs are introduced and encouraged to attend the twelve step fellowships still. They are a huge social support. ‘But that is merely one component of The Buttery programs, here we emphasise the therapeutic community model and incorporate the various skills of the staff

more sophisticated over time. We have better documentation and maintenance of our policies and procedures which makes it easier to develop them further.’ In his twenty years as director, Evans has overhauled much of the infrastructure on The Buttery site just outside Bangalow. The main Buttery building is a decommissioned Norco depot. A vacant, run down building full of bats in 1973, the site has had to come a long way since then. Improving the facilities has, however, come with challenges due to the age of the buildings and the limited funds available. Still, Evans persists. He is mindful of improving the amenities as he doesn’t want residents to feel they are living in poor conditions. Clearly in tune with the

residents, possibly from having worked so closely with them at the beginning of his Buttery career, Barry Evans says the best part of his position is witnessing people turn their lives around. ‘People arrive here feeling beaten, desperate, not knowing what to do. Within six months or so you can already see that they have more self-confidence and that they are taking more responsibility. ‘Years later they are holding down jobs, raising families, owning businesses or studying. Some of them even come back here as staff or have position at other rehabilitation institutions. Whatever it is they end up doing, it is so gratifying to see people make a decision about their addiction and to actually watch them do something about it.’ And while Barry Evans would love to see the dream of the new Buttery realised while still the Buttery director, he would also like to be able to drift into ‘blissful retirement’ at some stage in the not too distant future. The Buttery Inc is an independent community based charitable organisation. It operates on a not for profit basis. In addition to its residential program which has both a local and statewide catchment area, the Buttery offers three outreach services for northern rivers residents. One is the Northern Rivers Gambling Service, another is focused on drug addiction (INTRA) and the third is for those suffering from mental illness substance abuse (MISA). The Buttery is the largest provider of drug, alcohol and gambling services in the area. To financially support The Buttery or find out more about it, visit www. buttery.org.au or phone 6687 1111.

Hunting down human cells with the elusive virus Story & photo Mary Gardner The sudden cold snap catches me by surprise. The pain in every one of my muscles. Then the headache. Finally the fever. Ah yes, I have a virus. Our near invisible companion, a virus is a thing on the edge of life. It’s not dead but it’s not alive. The size of them is such that they say a virus next to a flea is about what a human is next to two Mt Everests. A virus is only a capsule of protein containing some lengths of DNA or RNA. It is inert: some exist in this mode only briefly, others for years. It needs to enter the functioning cells of a very specific living being to become active. And every living being – from humans to bacteria, all the animals and plants – every species has its own virus or two. When the virus finds its cell, it enters through the membrane and hijacks the DNA reproduction process to make copies of its own DNA/RNA lengths. It forces the cell to make as much as possible and coat them all with protein. Then the new viruses burst out of the cell, killing it and moving on to infect others. Sometimes, the new viruses lie in wait in the cell for

A fevered model of some typical viruses.

months or years before they venture out. But this winter ‘flu’ is a ‘fast release’. It is also looking for exactly certain cells. Is it specially hunting for cells lining my trachea? Is that why my windpipe is burning up? The virus that I am making is likely to have a few small changes in it. The process of copying often has small errors and the virus is altered somewhat, either in its DNA or its protein coat. In this way, the virus mutates. It may become a new form with renewed virulence. Or it may become a form that dies out.

Studying the impact of viruses started with the ancient Egyptians. Exactly identifying a virus began in the 19th century when Dutch microbiologist Martinus Beijerinck proved that bacteria were not infecting tobacco plants. Rather there was some ‘soluble living germ’. In the 1930s, microbiologists used fertile eggs as incubators for this ‘germ’. By the 1950s, cultures of living animal tissues were used to grow up different types of ‘germs’ responsible for polio, influenza and more. Using crystallography and electron microscopes,

the actual shapes became revealed. Viruses average from 10 to 300 nanometres in size. They take forms such as helices or icosahedrans. They can be enveloped, or box shaped or in a capsule with ‘legs’ that looks like a lunar module. There is a scientific classification system which recognises over two thousand species. They are also set into seven groups according to similarities in the methods that they use in getting their DNA copied. Whatever the thing is, a virus demands respect.World War 1 killed 20 million people, but in 1918-20, the

Spanish flu virus killed 40 million. Right now over 32 million people are infected with HIV. Every year, malaria kills about 2.7 million. Then there is the damage caused by plant and animal viruses. But a virus can’t continue if it is always killing off its hosts. My one laid me low but I am recovering. I can almost appreciate these few extra days of being slow and sleepy. There is still that burning pain in my airways. Part of the pain is what my body is doing to meet with the invasion. Interferon is created, which alerts other cells that the foreign particles are on the loose. This makes for a fever and aching muscles. After the first day or two, specific antibodies to that particular virus are created by the immune system. Phlegm accumulates to carry dead cells and viruses away. Sneezes release viruses into the air. In a cruel way, the Spanish flu virus actually uses the human immune system against itself. One of the virus’s eight genes simply revs up the body’s system into overdrive. There is no stopping it and the defences are mounted regardless of the final lethal cost to the body. To top it off, there is good evidence that parts of viruses

actually become part of the DNA of the host. Sometimes, this leads onto cancers and possibly even certain forms of mental illnesses. But sometimes this makes for increased resistance or new abilities. The ability of humans to digest starches is thought to be a genetic gift from a virus long ago. Most other primates can’t. There are other examples across all life forms. Studies of nine ecosystems found viruses infecting different bacteria carried lots of extra DNA which got shared around. Viruses help genes get into new places. They can merge then reemerge from chains of DNA. They change genomes, for better or worse. This very action is the step by step dance of creation. This ‘horizontal gene transfer’, once considered a biological impossibility, is now seen as the crux of life. This is how life evolves and adapts. Illness shapes health. Today’s genetic engineers speculate viruses could even be used to deliver ‘improved’ genes into human cells. Oh brave new world, that has such viruses in it! Pass me another paracetamol and that glass of water, please.

GOLD COIN ENTRY

wo fellas from Nigeria recently wrote about the connection between illiteracy and war.They pulled out statistics, they gave examples; they were careful to point out that it was just one connection, although a primary one. If they used language a bit academic, a bit distant, maybe we can forgive them – their country has been torn and retorn by violence so much I’m sure their hearts, at least, know what it’s like to be ripped out and crammed in ice. But they got hopeful. The way forward, they said, is through peace-building education. So far an initiative, backed at such levels, no less, than the UN, has focused on primary school children. It’s about the intergenerational long-term, the UN literature says; it’s gonna take time. Our two Nigerian friends reckon this hasn’t worked, and never will. To translate their academese into commonspeak: what’s the use of learning your p’s and q’s only to walk out the school gate into a society that kicks the shit out of you at so many levels? The real lessons, they said, are on the street, and in the home, and much of it isn’t pretty. Peace-building education has to move into those places, they summarised, the places where the kids who aren’t at school are, where the adults are at – all the key role models - and it needs to be in a language that makes sense to those people. The essence of their position is this: teach the adults literacy, as well as the kids, and peace is more likely to follow. The heart of literacy is the power to communicate and engage. To understand other points of view, and to be heard. Big stuff. The Aussie government lists five types of official literacy: prose (reading), numeracy, document (forms), health, and problem solving . Or, to put it another way: being able to write a resume, being able to read the rules, being able to balance the books, create new ways of making money, and not take sickies. Of course, that’s my take on it. But consider this: According to the official surveys, Tasmanians are dorks, and Canberrans are geniuses. I think it’s safe to say that the official survey may have left out some very important questions; ignored some critical types of literacy. Like Ecoliteracy. This is the one that interests me, and for a number of reasons. Let’s try just a few: global warming, food shortages and rising costs, the death of rivers, species extinction, cancer

clusters, asthma. Ecoliteracy is the ability to understand the primacy of the language of nature, its interconnections, its limits. It means being able to read the signs – the words – that tell us what’s real. Ecoliteracy then means, further, to find a language that engages us to take action. Even deeper, ecoliteracy is a way of reading and communicating across generations. So ecoliteracy, beyond the ability to read and count, is more deeply concerned with relationships, and the ability to survive and prosper harmoniously. All this is on my mind as I’m walking the laneway of my neighbourhood. I’m glancing at the clouds without any idea of what their shapes and dramas may tell me about the coming weather. Looking at a jumble of green shapes not knowing whether I can eat them or not. I’m wondering why this laneway isn’t planted out with fruit trees for us all to share, and then wonder how to talk to the neighbours about it. I know how to operate a computer but not the right timing for propagating fruit trees or for planting spinach, or what native alternatives are available. The magpies are calling and I don’t understand what they mean. I’m trying to be a parent and I don’t know which elders to turn to. How can I teach my daughter how to live lightly and healthily on the earth, when all my time is spent working three jobs, paying bills, cleaning, trying to relate, stressing? Allowing myself to be herded down a path that leaves a bright-eyed child and green earth behind? I am illiterate. I desperately need to learn to read. And write. But here’s hope: I remember watching black cockatoos crackle over Nightcap and seeing the storms that inevitably followed. Stormbringer, I named them to my daughter. Ants would invade indoors when rain was due in a few days; huntsman spiders, if it were a few hours. Kookaburras in the evening: rain tomorrow. All these languages of rain coming. The sudden breeze – here comes the storm. And the voice of the storm itself: a deep bucketthudding symphony could

mean floods – pay attention. And notice the flow of the land, the paths of water, of neighbours, of buses, of ants, of birds. Which soil holds water, which stays dry? Where is the shade in winter? And what I thought was Spring contains, in different weeks, the cicada birthing season, the cowboy beetle season, mulberry season, the time of perfect tiny trees in the clover patch. What use is ‘Spring’ here? The song of rain spills for three months in ‘Autumn’. A farmer gives me a lift who’s lived here for 60 years. ‘Nine months of rain is what we normally had. Cyclones, too.’ The wipers squeak across the eyes of his ute. He squints: Seems pretty normal to me.’ Paying attention. Spending time in a place. Maybe these are some of the first lessons of ecoliteracy. Listening, too; finding a language that sidesteps blame – what social researcher Hugh McKay calls ‘the work of heroes. Listening with respect; taking responsibility. A language that connects. I don’t know. But I want to. I see people with dirt under their fingernails; see families walking rock pools; hear the stories hewn from long association by ‘old timers’. I need those stories. So does my daughter. Already she’s taught me that ‘Old Wollumbin’ is the grandfather mountain. I didn’t know. It was there in the geology and history, buried in language so cold and disconnected I was blinded to the story beneath. She still has one of the most important ecoliteracy skills, my daughter: a sense of wonder. I’m relearning. So much hope, like the absurd abundance of black bean seedpods she brings home to make boats with. Her friend Darcy has planted one of the seeds. It’s growing. ■ ACE Byron Shire, as part of the International Adult Learners’ Week, is running an afternoon and evening of Ecoliteracy readings, discussions and interactions on Thursday September 4 in Mullumbimby.

The other day I popped into the Starcourt Theatre to have a chat with one of the actors in the upcoming NORPA production of ‘The Bloody Bride.’ It was a hive of activity. Set designers making adjustments to the half caravan which occupies centre stage, actors lounging around leafing through scripts and Jeremy the production manager fussing around in a suit, looking every bit the bureaucrat. Everyone was very appropriately in character and enthusiastic about the merits of local playwright Hilary Bell’s original script: ‘The Bloody Bride’, created, set and inspired by Lismore. I grabbed a few moments with Shane Nagle, one of the three actors in the theatrical creation who describes the show as ‘A dark and poetic thriller.’ This is a very different direction for NORPA, who have spent the last decade focusing on touring productions from interstate rather than creating their own. ‘This is a new NORPA,’ says Shane, ‘This is the new arm of NORPA which is dedicated to creating new work. NORPA’s 2007 production of Not Like Beckett has recently sold to Le Boite theatre (Brisbane) for a 2009 season.’ The Bloody Bride is the first new work created by Northern Rivers Performing Arts (NORPA) through its Generator program. ‘We hope The Bloody Bride will either be sold on, or that we can secure funding for a tour at a later date.’

C O A S TA L

through that process the script changed. To some degree it is based on the Spanish playwright Lorca’s Blood Wedding. It picks up on a lot of the dark stuff. About the change in our Australian psyche.’ The impact of the death of German backpacker Simonne Strobel was felt around the Lismore community. Events like that have a way of robbing a country town of its innocence, and reminding residents of the dark side of any community. Twin Peaks looks more and more like a documentary every day! ‘We certainly pick up on that dark energy in The Bloody Bride. It’s about a couple who have lived here all their life. They meet up with Leo (who I play), a traveller who has only recently arrived. It’s about a young woman who is in love but yearns for a life that is bigger and richer than what the town offers. Somehow Leo offers the gateway to that life.’ Shane Nagle was a Byron resident for many years, but is now working and living in Melbourne as an actor. He is joined by Sydney based actors Ed Whightman and Kyas Sherriff. ‘They are bloody good actors,’ Shane went on to say, ‘It’s a great experience for me to be in such a challenging role amongst such talent.’ The play has opened Shane’s eyes to Lismore and the fascinating and diverse community that resides there.

The Bloody Bride was developed in workshop with Hilary Bell over a year ago.

‘In six years of living on the North Coast and travelling to and from Lismore, this is the first time I’ve really got to stay here, and gained an insight into the place.’

‘It was a fascinating process,’ Shane added. ‘We started with a workshop with the writer, Hilary, the dramaturg, Janis Balodis and Director Julian Louis, 11 actors, dancers and a puppeteer. Two weeks later Hilary delivered the first draft and then she and Julian and Janis worked together throughout the year on various drafts – and

THE SOAPBOX MANDY NOLAN

COMPLETELY BARKING The other day I got a notice from the Council informing me that my dog was responsible for offensive levels of barking. I gave him the letter but he can’t read. So I read him the Riot Act. Either the barking stops or he has to wear one of those degrading collars that shoots citronella or some noxious substance into his mouth every time he makes a noise. If I’m lucky, they’ll make one for me, and Elvis and I may know the sanctimonious smugness of silence. The next option is full box removal. (I have also considered this for myself, but more as a form of birth control.) I have always thought that seemed cruel, like someone had used a remote and put their pooch on mute. I have threatened to take his batteries out, but I can’t ďŹ nd an inlet for the phillip’s head. It seems a bit rude to threaten me with a $1100 ďŹ ne. I mean it’s not like I’m in the backyard chasing possums at midnight. Howling at the moon. My little eyes bright as shiny buttons with excitement. I believe in people and animals taking responsibility for their behaviour. Elvis may have to get a part time job at Mallams stacking shelves. I mean how do you stop a dog barking? Had the council sent me a

letter of demand, or in fact an existential paradox? They might as well have asked me to stop cows from mooing or cats from meowing. I ďŹ nd screaming children offensive, but you can’t slap childcare centres with a writ for offensive noise or get the kids to wear a citronella collar. It would be deemed cruel. Poor Elvis. Small, shaggy and dejected, he’s a bad dog living on the edge. I had a long talk with him about his barking. Tried to establish if he had some deeper issues, like a sense of worthlessness or was just exhibiting some good old fashioned look at me I’ve got low self esteem behaviour. Turns out he’s a dog. He feels he has a right to bark. I rang Jean from Barkbusters. She told me to use the BAA. That’s what I am supposed to growl whenever he exhibits negative behaviour. Now when he barks, I am in the backyard going ‘BAAA BAAA BAAA’ like an angry sheep on steroids. If my neighbours weren’t woken up by Elvis, then they will be woken up by me making farmyard noises. I’ll admit, the barking is annoying. It annoys me. In fact, I’m not telling Elvis, but I’m the one who ďŹ led the complaint.

MAGIC DIRT RELEASE GIRL They’ve just released their brand new album, and in the lead up to its birth, this is what Adalita had to say while they were in the studio making the record. ‘It’s all really starting to take shape. One of the main themes of the record is a subtle psychedelic, deep, trance-like hypnotic effect so we feel There is a group of songs that pick this vibe up strongly. There are also a clutch of real melodic and brash songs. there’s a couple of real pretty and sweet songs and there are a couple of monster riffs that sound pretty huge and

really jump out. Overall we are stoked with how it’s all gone. It’s a pretty up record, very eclectic and I think it’s a record that brings up a few different feelings and emotions.’ Catch them at the Hotel Great Northern on Thursday to see Girl up and running.

GRATEFUL FOOT Readers may remember that last time Broadfoot played at the Lennox Point hotel they were hitchhiking to gigs – the band would like to say ‘thank you’ to all of those generous drivers who have made their gigs possible (especially the guy who carried an entire drum kit on the back of his motor bike.) Hitchhiking days are over for the time being for Broadfoot – it seems that a German backpacker has gone home and left the guys with a car – for a few weeks anyway, until the rego runs out (it’ll never get through another pink slip). Anyway this Saturday Broadfoot will be proudly driving down to the Lennox Point Hotel in their new car that they’ve named ‘Serendipity’.

FROM TWEAKING EYEBALLS TO INVERTED VERTIGO Producer Psywalker is DJ Luke Psywalker. He caught the psychedelic bug in 1995. Luke has played at countless parties and festivals worldwide including Portugal, USA, New Zealand, Mexico, Austria and Japan at festivals just as varied in originality; from Splendour in the Grass to the Boom Festival. TripleJ scooped Luke up for a stint on its Saturday night mix-up, and with his own label Digital Psionics Luke walks the talk. Spectral Records in Portugal and Space Tribe music both have made him their label DJ in Australia. ‘A label DJ is someone who represents a particular record label and usually plays the style of music that label releases. You would usually ďŹ nd label reps for each country, label DJs also help with sourcing new sounds and distribution in their selected country’ Luke started out making pounding psy-trance with Space Tribe releasing Tweaked Eyeballs which was followed by several solo tracks along with a bunch of collaborations including Dark Nebula under the alias of UFO. In February this year Luke has released his debut album Inverted Vertigo, watch out for the landing of Psywalker’s unidentiďŹ ed psychedelic objects! Q: What does psychedelic mean to you? A: ‘To me psychedelic in terms of music is music that takes you away from everyday life and takes you to another place while also pushing the boundaries of your mind and thoughts. As life gets more hectic it is nice to have a place where you can go and forget about everyday life. Also I think it means not taking things too seriously.’ Q: Is there a reason for the 145 bpm bench mark for this style of dance music? A: ‘Most of the Isra trance styles are based around this

IN THE

LuKE PsywALKER bpm, I think mainly due to the fact that once you are dancing and in full swing on the dance oor your heart rate beats at around 145 bpm so it makes sense that this is the bench mark bpm. But there is also a wide range of Psy trance that ranges from 138 –152 bpm so I would say that there’s no rule.’

this music come from? I was also hugely inuenced by our local heroes around this time, Nick Taylor and Olli Wisdom who played at most events around the area at this time and who have been pioneers of the scene globally. I feel very lucky to have been able to see these guys on a regular basis back in the day.’

Q: When playing in poorer countries i.e. Portugal, Mexico, is the crowd usually from the upper class? A: ‘I would have to say yes to this; unfortunately this is the way it goes in these countries, some people cannot afford to attend these style of events but that’s not to say that there isn’t a broad range of people as people can contribute in other ways that help (get into) the event, such as decorations etc.’

Q: Who are Digital Psionics’ artists and how do you think your label has survived ten years? A: ‘We have amassed a large artist pool over the years releasing tracks from Skazi, Space Tribe, CPU, Tube, Abomination, Shift and many others. We have some regular artists who release albums with us like Kluster, Bon, Electrypnose, Dark Nebula, Psywalker. I think the only reason we have survived is sticking to our motto of releasing music that works on the dance oor and having a conservative outlook when it comes to spending and selection. It deďŹ nitely has not been easy, and over the last few years we have been struggling due to the poor trance market and piracy which I think is killing the music scene generally. But we will persist as this is what we love doing.’

Q: Where did you ďŹ rst hear Psychedelic Trance and what was your personal epiphany, if any? A: ‘My ďŹ rst party was in Rosebank at a place called Blueberry Hill in about 1994. Nick Spacetree was playing all night. I was so blown away by the music I was quickly hooked. I became totally lost in another world. I remember thinking where did

Q: Do you adjust your track choice to a nightclub as opposed to outdoors? A: ‘DeďŹ nitely, I ďŹ nd that indoors I can usually play a lot harder tunes with a commercial edge than I would be able to outdoors, the music sounds a lot different indoors as the music doesn’t travel and the sound is a lot more contained.’

DAN RUMOUR WITH MICHAEL TURNER AND TIM TONKIN AT THE RAILS ON SATURDAY

Luke Psywalker will be joining a trance lineup next week Thursday 28th. This week at Liquid starts with Wednesday’s jazz residents Little Blue Birdy then Thursday The Good Foot with djs Katch, Dave Dog from the Resin Dogs and SiďŹ xion from the Bird. Friday goes Electro Funk with Wallopalooza, DJ Ego and Captain Kaine that will probably leave you wanting more on Saturday when House of Now gets you back onto that oor with Dave Basek, Dr. Brian and Sean Candy.

1. A real treat on ABC2 (Wednesday 8pm) with a live performance of Keating! The Musical. Mike McLeish (left in our picture) plays the Maestro and writer Casey Bennetto (right) takes various parts. 1. Favourite star wars movie of everyone this is. The Empire Strikes Back (Saturday 10.30pm) completes Channel Ten’s Olympics surrender. Looks like we’re going to miss the Ewoks though. 3. If you don’t want to gravitate to the Olympics and the rivetting footage of water polo on offer at Prime, choose Look Both Ways (SBS, Sunday 9.05pm). William McInnes and the rest of the cast give great performances and Sarah Watt’s direction, including the animated inserts, is impeccable. Four and a half stars from Margaret and David.

Sometimes described as an internal martial art, Falun Gong is guided by the principles of truthfulness, benevolence and compassion and encompasses both Taoist & Buddhist philosophies... In July 1999 Falun Gong was declared an ‘evil cult’ by Beijing authorities and subsequently banned. Falun Gong had 70 million followers in China including intellectuals, government officials and members of the Chinese military. The cultivation of positive emotions in such people was considered a threat to the authorities.

,XKJJ_ 1X[KMKX Freddy Krueger is a fictional character from the A Nightmare on Elm Street series of films. Created by Wes Craven and portrayed by actor Robert Englund in every film of the series, he is an undead serial killer, who can attack his victims from within their own dreams. Freddy is commonly identified by his burned, disfigured face, red and green (or black and red in picture) striped sweater, brown fedora hat, and trademark metal-clawed brown colored leather glove. Krueger has two known weaknesses. The first is that if he is brought into the real world, his powers greatly diminish or disappear, and he is made mortal. To bring him into the real world, a person must physically grab Freddy in their dreams and then be woken up – a difficult task, mostly because when Krueger is in a dream, he is often slippery and, what is more, his effect upon a person dreaming is a much deeper sleep than normal. The second Krueger weakness is fire, as mentioned in Freddy vs. Jason. Because Krueger was originally killed by being burned alive.

YES, THERE IS LIFE AFTER LAST WEEKEND’S FULL MOON ECLIPSE, AS THIS WEEK’S COSMIC COCKTAIL ELECTRIFIES THE COMFORT ZONE WITH YOUR OWN PERSONAL VERSION OF UNSETTLING NEWS, MYSTERIOUS SYNCHRONICITIES AND LIFE CHANGING LUCKY BREAKS… ARIES: Your boss planet Mars in graceful, persuasive Libra brings a valuable chance to upgrade your diplomatic skills. Not as dull as it sounds, because you get to explore more skillful, effective and simply irresistible methods of getting what you want.

on peaceful solutions and be aware of what’s best left unsaid. VIRGO: As your ruling planet Mercury ushers in a whole new life cycle of personal development, something you’ve worked hard at will finally pay off as the universe starts showering your deserving selves with promising offers and opportunities seemingly from out of the blue. LIBRA: Recent weeks have swept away certain retro ideas, now Mars that bold, confident, sassy planet of sexy energy sashays into Libra with a cosmic vitamin shot for your life-be-in-it hormones. That said, the coming weekend could give your peacemaking skills a serious workout. SCORPIO: If romantic or family matters that have been gathering momentum come to a head this week refrain from playing the blame game, keep your heart open and take whatever time you need to think things through. The week brings clarity – eventually – as feelings settle. SAGITTARIUS: Though life changes are in your face, rushing big decisions isn’t

recommended. Spend whatever time you can on quiet, introspective analysis and the answers you want will become apparent during the week if you can turn unsettling situations into learning curves. CAPRICORN: The present astral energy’s strongly supportive of your ambitions and sees you stating your case with ease and grace. One suggestion though: in the dim mists of history when dinosaurs roamed the earth, certain Capricorn ideas were formed – now it’s safe to lay them to rest. AQUARIUS: Last weekend’s full Moon in Aquarius primed you for a breakthrough which you’re still figuring out – though for you figuring out can be a ten second epiphany. While the siren call of faraway places is tempting, a here-and-now situation needs your attention. PISCES: If you’re ever going to jettison that inappropriate dream, stale relationship or accumulation of attitudes past their use-by date, this week’s astral energies give you a jump start. Only fancy a few minor, less radical improvements? Perfect for that too.

5 Carlyle Street, Byron Bay In 1992, a year after becoming the only female to win Canberra’s Doeberl Cup, Georgia’s Ketevan Arakhamia became a refugee in her own country. Arakhamia and her family were forced to abandon their home in the region of Abkhazia and escape to the Georgian capital Tbilisi as a result of a Russian-led ethnic cleansing operation directed against ethnic Georgians. When the military operations had ended, Arakhamia returned to her home hoping to salvage some possessions but discovered that the house had been occupied by Russian soldiers and looted of every item of value. Arakhamia, then 24 but already an Olympic gold medal winner for the USSR, was soon evacuated to Britain where she has lived ever since, becoming a proud Scot. With history repeating itself this week – and Russia cre-

ating a new set of refugees from areas well beyond the previously cleansed regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia – the conflict in Georgia has already badly affected some of Arakhamia’s former compatriots. Until the rise of China, Georgia had traditionally been the home of the best women chessplayers in the world and six Georgians were due to play in the Women’s World Championship later this month in Nalchik, a town just on the Russian side of the border with Georgia. Nalchik had already been a controversial choice for a major tournament, being a base for the guerrilla phase of the nearby war in Chechnya. Regular explosions in the city – one in 2005 killing more than 100 – were enough to

convince Oceania representative Irina Berezina months ago to pass up the opportunity to become Women’s World Champion. This week the top six Georgian women, including living legend Maya Chiburdanidze, appealed to the world body FIDE to move the upcoming Championship from Nalchik. Their appeal fell on deaf ears. FIDE President Kirsan Iljumzhinov explained that an inspection of the city in early August – before the war began – had found no problems and that to move now would cause great difficulties for the organisers who, amongst other matters, had already ordered food. ‘I appeal to all not to mix politics and sport, and not to involve FIDE and the world

chess community into political, territorial and other disputes,’ said Iljumzhinov, the ruler of the Russian republic of Kalmykia, who makes a career from mixing chess and politics. The upshot of FIDE keeping the WW Championship in Nalchik is likely to be a field missing not only the powerful Georgian contingent but also other players worried about their personal safety. However, as Iljumzhinov has shown in the past – for example by selecting Iraq as the host of the 1996 world title match or by holding the 2004 World Championship tournament in Libya without Israeli players – having a representative Championship is subservient to keeping his friends and trading partners happy. No doubt the city of Nalchik and the local insurgents will both be very glad that an event generating worldwide publicity is coming to town.

CINEMA MONGOL Can anybody remember 1965’s Genghis Khan? In it, Temudjin, the clan leader who united the warring rabble of the Mongolian steppes, was embodied by the urbane Egyptian Omar Sharif – in retrospect, like casting Jackie Chan as General Custer. The role here is filled by Tadanobu Asano who, though Japanese, is far more convincing. Russian director Sergei Bodrov’s stupendous bio-epic covers the years preceding Temudjin’s ascendancy, opening with his childhood betrothal to the feisty Börte. How accurate a depiction it is is questionable, for Bodrov

presents him as possibly the thirteenth century’s one and only sensitive new age guy. Stoic in adversity (and boy, does he do it tough), magnanimous towards his rivals and possessing boundless courage, Temudjin’s only flaw seems to have been his disquieting resemblance as a youngster to the kid in Two And A Half Men. On top of those not unexpected qualities, he is also happy to be guided throughout his tumultuous career by his missus, played by the exquisite Khulan Chuluun – the ‘behind every great man’ scenario certainly never applied to the bridgeplaying Alexandrian. So this is not an objective study, which makes a refreshing change from the mincing explorations of character flaws to which we have become accustomed. Temudjin is a hero, pure and simple, his nobility of spirit to be admired rather than deconstructed. He is also acutely aware of his

Last Day Last Day

ethnicity and all that that entails, harking frequently to what is and what is not acceptable in Mongol culture. Forward thinking in his desire to codify the belief systems of his people, he still manages to retain a shaman-like relationship with the pagan deities – a trait bound to endear him to local audiences. There aren’t too many battles for the squeamish viewer to negotiate and the violence is at no time gratuitous – these people lived by the sword, after all. It is graphic however, shot in a style similar to 300, with blood squirting like raindrops from most slashings and stabbings and the tracing of an arrow as it flies through the air and thuds into its target is neat indeed. The cinematography is spellbinding and the design wonderfully earthy and almost tactile. It ends with Temudjin and his hordes all set to conquer the world and if I could have decked myself out in one of their ragtag mix’n’match outfits and jumped aboard one of their spindly legged horses I would have joined the boys in a flash. Fabulous. ~ John Campbell

THE STRANGERS The horror genre is ever popular, there being a dimly lit corner in most of our psyches that likes nothing better than to have the big screen wrack us with regular doses of squirming fear. This movie is hugely successful at satisfying that (primeval?) need but is an abject failure at establishing any raison d’être for itself.

film making-by-numbers approach creates no lasting impression or, as Scream did with its spoofish selfawareness, the guilty pleasure of having had a howling good time. Kristen and James are a young couple who have just broken up at a wedding reception. They return to the summer house of James’s absent family – in the woods, naturally – to spend the night before heading their separate ways. We don’t know anything more than that about them and we know nothing at all of the trio who come visiting at four in the morning. What ensues, after the lengthy but classic lead up, is the worst nightmare of our comfy middle class society – a home invasion. In its favour, there is not a lot of blood and gore (perhaps the despicable Wanted had purchased all of the studios’ stocks), and first time writer/ director Bryan Bertino understands precisely what buttons to press to get our palms sweating. It was probably not Bertino’s intention but, horror being surreal by definition, the masks of the assailants (especially the one under the sackcloth hood), the evenly spaced, perfectly perpendicular conifers and the burning car all reminded me of René Magritte’s more unsettling paintings (my reactions to the little Belgian’s work might never be the same). Typically, sounds play a critical role in the atmospherics and Bertino’s exploitation of them is masterly. The scratchy vinyl records, the smoke alarm, the sudden silence filled by crickets ... the crinkling of cellophane (that was the bloke a few seats down from me who’d gone for a food break. I was ever so comforted by the noise he made pigging into his chips) – with just a little more imagination than is generally exhibited by its target audience, you could piece together a really frightening story by deleting the images altogether and listening only to their aural accompaniment. It scared the bejesus out of me, but that was its sole intention. The last shot, a cardiac arresting nod to Brian De Palma, works an absolute treat – if you like that kind of thing. ~ John Campbell

CATERERS

Some years ago a Sydney chef made the news when he refused to serve a customer a steak well done – the grounds being that he did not want to ruin a perfectly good piece of meat by over-cooking it. An altercation ensued and the customer was asked to leave; the incident precipitated a stream of correspondence in the newspaper until everyone tired of it. I knew that chef: I had had the misfortune of working for him, albeit exceedingly eetingly. Chefs are a funny breed, and each one I have worked with has been a little mad anyway – all that antisocial shift-work, the long unforgiving hours and the hard drinking, highpressured highly concentrated work at full speed in extreme temperatures, in some cases sheer creative genius. Up until this chef I had, moreover, only ever worked alongside Italian chefs – their very temperaments naturally amboyant, volatile and passionate – and had experienced my ďŹ ll of ying saucepans, torrential expletives and behind-the-scenes crises, emerging a little scarred but essentially unscathed. I returned to Australia and within a short space of time was offered a position in the kitchen of a fashionable pub-restaurant whose head chef had made no secret of his admiration for me and my background. Tremendously attered, I accepted. I was assigned the cold larder section with a fat surly apprentice who made it plain she resented me; nothing prepared me for the nightmare that ensued. At all the Italian restaurants where I had worked, the system of ordering had been based on dockets lined up along a wall for all to see. Being mostly ‘minestraia’ I would merely concentrate on what ďŹ rst

courses, usually in the form of pasta, I was required to make, and in busy periods I would take on as many dockets simultaneously as I could, with speedy efďŹ ciency. In this pub-restaurant the head chef stood at the kitchen entrance and called out the orders. He called them out quickly and it was up to us to seize on our respective responsibilities; he called them out too quickly to seize. Nervous beyond belief I was working slowly and clumsily, constantly obliged to ask the apprentice for help, missing orders, going blank. And there I was on the easiest section, where it was mostly a simple matter of assembly and presentation – a splayed-out avocado-half here, a tumble of salad leaves there. At shift’s end the head chef, no longer screaming at me, barely listened to my excuses and apologies, his eyes hard and cold. I could hardly bring myself to turn up the following evening – and when I did, most certainly with the intention of humiliating me for my previous ineptitude, he had assigned me to the mains section. I felt sick. I felt sick even as the dish instructions were barked out at me. And I knew I would fail, as much from eroded selfconďŹ dence and absence of any support whatsoever as from the fact it was a system quite foreign to me. I was utterly out of my depth, and by the time I had been removed ignominiously from the section, midservice, I was a blubbery mess of mortiďŹ cation. I never saw the chef again, and when I read about his refusing the customer’s right to eat a steak the way he wanted, I felt only contempt at his arrogance.

Sports Roundup with Eve Jeffery

Giants stand tall at the eleventh hour

Olympic view from my fever

John Campbell The possibility seemed remote. After seventeen rounds of the Retravision Northern League, to secure a top five spot, defending premiers Mullumbimby needed to beat Cudgen by a Bradmanesque score or hope that Kyogle might upset the more fancied Lower Clarence. In the end both criteria were met, with the Turkeys gobbling up Lower’s ambitions and the Giants romping in 96-6. On the day that Mary and Les Donnelly, the club stalwart after whom Mullum’s field of dreams is named, celebrated their sixty-fifth we d d i n g a n n i ve r s a r y (Woody Allen once wryly observed that ‘marriage is like the baseball; it’s a long season’), the Giants tripped the light fantastic in what at times resembled little more than a glorified training session. With Mad Monday on their mind, the visitors were easybeats, their woeful performance making it difficult to assess the quality of the winner’s.

The Blue and Golds ran like gazelles, tackled like tyrants and threw some of the most flamboyant passes seen all year – nearly all of which stuck. The first set of six was all that was needed for them to open their account. Against paper thin defence, the ball was taken from one end to the other before evergreen centre Glen Godbee threw a sweet inside pass for winger Chad Grant to go in under the posts without a hand laid on him. And so it went – after nine minutes it was 16-0 and when Cudgen’s half obligingly chipped it straight into the arms of Sunshine Jay Hampson with nobody between him and the white strip thirty metres away to make it 28-0, the massacre was irreversible. Out of the blue, a Cudgen forward scooted over, but 46-6 at the break was a clear indication of what had transpired over the first forty. The only fear was that the old bloke with the whistle might have a heart attack keeping up with Mullum’s blistering raids.

Cudgen, left with only pride to play for, recalled that pride was a deadly sin and watched like bystanders as another fifty were put on them. A century seemed inevitable, but that ignominy was averted as the Giants, out of pity or exhaustion, drew up stumps four short. For the record – tries were scored by Jy Hitchcox (4), Hampson (3), Andrew Moroney (2), Joe Robinson (2), Dane Chisolm, Godbee, Grant, Troy Johnstone

and Jared Flick, with Chisolm kicking fourteen conversions for a personal tally of 32 points. The boys headed to the sheds in an ebullient mood, the lilly having been gilded by the news of Lower Clarence’s demise (see Results for final standings). Against all the odds, they had secured a home ground semi and will now take on the Tweed Coast Raiders in the first sudden death playoff. A closer encounter is anticipated.

I was going to write a very interesting story this week, you all would have loved it. As happens most weeks I have a great idea and think I will get started, then I procrastinate and check my facebook and my ‘space’ and then it’s Sunday night or 4.30am Monday morning, and I hop onto the computer and tap, tap merrily away. Last week I actually started my story on Thursday and had a good beginning by Friday morning. Marvelous! By Friday evening Spike Milligan’s dreaded Lurgi had me by the throat and it was a speedy downhill trip from there. The most distressing symptom of this particular Lurgi is the fever that it delivers. You know that hot and sweaty feeling that sends little electric jolts through your system, and the obsessive dreams that haunt you for hours on end when all you really want to do is have rest and quiet and blessed, peaceful sleeeeeeeeeepp. The only thing that could make this Ground Hog Dayesque nightmare worse was the Olympic telecast. As I lay on the couch using

every trick in my book of ‘mean and evil things mothers do to get what they want’ to make the kinder prepare meals and make me cups of tea and brandy and lemon, I was doomed to flicking through the channels of eternity betwixt Prime and SBS searching, searching, searching for a little gymnastic relief and what did I find? Water polo. Water polo then Stephanie Rice. Water polo, Stephanie Rice. Just for a little change SBS mixed it up with the women’s handball – Norway blitzed Romania – then back to Prime for the eleventy-sixth replay of Stephanie Rice followed by a dessert of Micahel Phelps’ 8 back to back wall touches, over and over again. I mean he seems like a nice enough bloke but what drugs is he on and can I have some because the brandy, Strepsils and Panadol don’t seem to be doing the trick and the panda in my bookcase needs someone to drive the apple streusel to the small spot on my ceiling where the the chalk is kept inside a freshly squeezed green hampster… I wonder if he can write my story for me?

Sports Roundup with Eve Jeffery

Philosophical duel on the pitch

Just reward as Bangalow contest the GF

Brian Mollet Sunday’s match in the Nick Shand Memorial cricket series was as much a duel of philosophies as sporting prowess as free-thinking individualists the Geckos clashed with the collectively conscious Main Arm, the Tasmania of Byron Shire, where you have to get a team of eleven together to make up a single mind. Main Arm skipper Greg sent the Geckos in to bat and tossed the new ball to Baz, whose commitment level is so great that many say he should have been committed years ago. Adrian thrashed his second ball through the covers but Baz managed to curve one back at him from a similar area and Main Arm had the early breakthrough. Adam and Simon settled the Geckos with some steady batting, seeing off the medium pacers and awaiting the onset of the numerous Main Arm spinners, a description that refers as much to their state of mind as their bowling action. Adam smacked Brian’s

Bangalow halfback Kerry Jennings and lock forward Greg Holland took out top accolades during this Saturdays Far North Coast Rugby Union Awards. Kerry ‘Kegs’ Jennings was justly rewarded for his point scoring abilities while Greg ‘High Tower’ Holland beat off a competitive field to take out this year’s best and fairest. Even though both players took time out to enjoy the limelight all their efforts are now focused on this weekend’s away Grand Final effort against Evans Head at home. Despite winning three Premierships on the trot Bangalow now face their sternest test ever against a strong and resurgent Killer Whales outďŹ t. A tight twenty points to nineteen win over Kyogle this weekend escalated Evans to their third title contention bout against Bangalow in what reads to be a titanic match-up against two equally talented teams. Fighting their way out of a mid-season slump Bangalow are well positioned to har-

ďŹ rst ball half way to Brunswick Heads but when he tried to repeat the dose could only ďŹ nd the safe hands of Joffrey at deep mid on. Pete Wynne Moylan and Toby both hung around with the rock solid Simon, but like Patti Hearst both fell after looking good early. Bourkey senior and junior took ďŹ ve wickets between them in the second session, youngster Eden taking two with his ďŹ rst two balls in Shand cricket. Unwilling to shed his mantle as the greatest spinner in Main Arm the old master John had the ball bungee jumping off the carpet. The Geckos found themselves closed out for a moderate 103 despite Simon’s 30 and late runs from skipper Glenn. Main Arm openers Bourkey and Mick were both sent on their way by Adrian who had the new ball snapping sideways like a samba dancer’s hipbones. Cool in a crisis, Baz put his head down like a thirsty giraffe. Skipper Greg joined him and the Geckos rolled

out their best bowlers Adam, Toby and Glenn in an effort to rout the top order. Their gutsy and skilful work set the game up for the very focused Main Armers. Greg copped a delivery that seemed to pole vault off a good length, the resounding thunk of ball cannoning into skull silenced the otherwise lively atmosphere. Luckily one of the better cricketing brains in the shire did not ďŹ nd itself all over the pitch, but a short rest and some ice, along with something Ed the witch doctor gave him to sip on, saw him recover well. Brian underestimated Simon’s deceptive willpower and deftness, running out the unlucky Baz. Joffrey joined the jittery Brian and taught him how to just say ‘no’. The game was mostly won for the Armers when Snakebite Pete flattened Brian’s stumps, a refreshed Greg (35) and Joff sealed the win. Next week the Full-Tossers take on the Main Arm hive mentality.

News Extra

Cycling beats the pain at the pump and saves millions A new publication documents the rising cost of motoring and the economic benefits of cycling. Produced by the Cycling Promotion Fund, Economic Benefits of Cycling for Australia brings together the costs and benefits from key areas, including transport, health and environmental sectors. ‘The publication outlines the cost of Australia’s high rate of car dependence to the economy in terms of fuel expenditure, traffic congestion, greenhouse gas emissions and health,’ said Elliot Fishman, policy advisor with the Cycling Promotion Fund. Cycling in Australia has undergone massive growth recently, recording an average 28% increase in trips to work between 2001 and 2006. This growth has resulted in significant economic benefits, including: s PETROL EXPENDITURE SAV-

ings of at least $35 million; s REDUCED PUBLIC HEALTH costs of approximately $154 million; and s TRAFlC CONGESTION SAVINGS of $63.9 million. Australian workers commuting by bicycle in the capital cities covered 189 million kilometres in 2006 – an increase of 42.4 million kilometres from 2001. ‘The skyrocketing cost of fuel and the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions mean there has never been a better time to encourage cycling,’ added Fishman. ‘Our recent study, Cycling: Getting Australia Moving found the primary barrier preventing more people cycling is a lack of supportive infrastructure such as bicycle lanes and paths. ‘More and more Australians are looking for ways of reducing the pain at the pump and greenhouse gas emissions. Cycling is a great way to do both. There has

never been a better time for the Commonwealth to step in and help communities become more bicycle friendly.’ A few more facts: Half of all car trips in capital cities are less than 5km, with 1.35 million Australians who make car trips to work of less than 5km. The US federal government recently committed an investment of $4.5 billion on walking and cycling projects. Australians will be increasingly hit by high petrol prices. Goldman Sachs pre-

dict the oil price will reach $US200 a barrel within 18 months, bringing the price at the pump to over $2.30 in Australian cities. In 2007, 1.47 million bicycles were sold, outselling cars for the 8th consecutive year. According to an ABS study in 2006, the average yearly distance travelled by private vehicle is 14,600km with an average fuel consumption of 13.8 litres per 100km. Reducing vehicle km travelled by 15% could save an average driver $500 a year in fuel costs alone.

Cycling: Getting Australia Moving, which was commissioned by the Commonwealth Department of Health and Ageing, also estimates that cycling currently saves the government $227.2 million per year in health costs alone. Professor Adrian Bauman and Associate Professor Chris Rissel from the University of Sydney, along with co-authors from Deakin and Curtin Universities and the Cycling Promotion Fund have identified key barriers and benefits to Australians getting on their bikes. As well as identifying the strong economic imperatives for investment in bicycle friendly programs and infrastructure, the report identifies existing barriers to increased cycle use such as cycling proficiency, cultural barriers and safety concerns. ‘More than half of all Australians are not meeting pub-

lic health recommendations for physical activity, and the rise in obesity and diabetes levels is a clear consequence of this inactivity. ‘Building cycling into everyday transport is an easy way to be sufficiently physically active without having to restructure your whole life or find time to exercise,’ said co-author Associate Professor Chris Rissel from Sydney University’s School of Public Health. The report found there has been a 28 per cent increase in cycling between Census 2001 and 2006 and that around 1.7 million Australian cycled for recreation in 2006. It says that while many Australian are choosing to cycle, increasingly everyday cycling has the potential to provide sustained and broad benefits across the community. The report is available online at: www.cyclingpromotion.com.au.

News Extra Tidy Town judges on way A press release from Byron United: The Keep Australia Beautiful ‘Tidy Town’ judges have announced they will be in town on Thursday August 28. So this is a call to all Byron businesses, residents and visitors to show how proud we are to be in one of the most beautiful places in the world. We have our second B DAY cleanup on Monday the 25th from 8.30 till 9. We are asking businesses to once again get out onto the streets and in front of your business and clean up. Pick up rubbish and litter throughout the week. Sweep the footpath. Remove graffiti. Weed and tidy up gardens near and around you Remove stickers off signs (you are going to need scrapers and remover to do this) and it is the scourge of our town. Have a look at any of the parking signs outside your business. Once again it is BYO brooms, rakes, scrapers and cleaners.

If some of the problems are too big for you to do, then contact your landlord and make sure they know and understand their part. If you think your business is in tip top shape then use the half hour to tackle another area in town (god knows there’s enough that can use help). We would also love to see residents involved in the whole campaign, particularly those whose houses face onto main streets around town.The judge will be coming into town along Shirley St and heading to Ballina via Bangalow Rd and Suffolk Park. So grab your mowers, brush cutters and blowers and let’s show our town off. We are also working in conjunction with the Council to ensure that maintenance works are carried out in the leadup to the judging. Please get involved and let’s show them there is no where in the world like Byron Bay. Let’s be proud of our town.

Migratory waders benefit from Council partnership with Byron Bird Buddies Migratory wader refers to a group of birds that migrate from continent to continent across the globe. Migratory waders are highly dependent on coastal wetlands and beaches for resting, feeding and breeding. Unfortunately these ecosystems are under increasing pressure from threats such as coastal development, wetland draining, farming and domestic pets. These pressures are having a significant impact on bird populations and annual bird counts have revealed dramatic declines in numbers for some species. Byron Shire Council has implemented a number of initiatives that will benefit the health of coastal wetland ecosystems, including providing constructed wetland habitats at sewerage treatment plants, the development of the Brunswick Estuary Management plan, biodiversity extension serv-

ices for property owners, and erecting stock exclusion fencing around critical habitat on Council owned properties. Council has also partnered with local volunteer group Byron Bird Buddies (www. byronbirdbuddies.com.au) to help educate locals and visitors about what they can do to assist these incredible birds. Spring marks the arrival of migratory waders in Byron Bay. Byron Bird Buddies and Byron Shire Council are hosting an information morning at the Belongil Estuary and West Byron Wetlands Sunday August 24 from 8am. Residents and visitors are invited to come along and learn more about migratory birds and what can be done to help their survival. For more details, contact Michael Bingham at Council on 6626 7019.

On a number of occasions Backlash has pointed out some of the oddities in Council’s Legal Services Status Report, in particular the fabled outstanding case against Peter Vos for the illegal clearing of trees at Goonengerry in 1998. This week mayor Jan Barham alluded to that matter, and the Wain & Wengarin P/L case of equal vintage, and wondered if they would ever be expunged from the report as lost causes in terms of costs recovery or what further action might be taken. Planning director Ray Darney confessed he had never looked at those exciting histories, which may explain why they go on and on being mentioned like some toxic relic from Bleak House, like Jarndyce and Jarndyce, for example, to quote the master himself: ‘The little plaintiff or defendant who was promised a new rockinghorse when Jarndyce and Jarndyce should be settled has grown up, possessed himself of a real horse, and trotted away into the other world. Fair wards of court have faded into mothers and grandmothers; a long procession of Chancellors has come in and gone out; the legion of bills in the suit have been transformed into mere bills of mortality; there are not three Jarndyces left upon the earth perhaps since old Tom Jarndyce in despair blew his brains out at a coffee-house in Chancery Lane; but Jarndyce and Jarndyce still drags its dreary length before the court, perennially hopeless.’ ■■■■We’d like to point out that the photos of painted people used to illustrate Eumundi’s Australian Body Art Carnivale were works produced by Byron’s Zen Player and BBAM (Byron

There’s a hot chance that an automatic weather station at Dome A will register a new record for the world’s lowest surface temperature. The lowest temperature ever recorded was -89.2°C in July 1983 at the Russian station Vostok, inland of Australia’s Casey station. Dome A is nearly 600m higher in elevation than Vostok and the coldest temperature recorded at Dome A was -82.5°C in July 2005. So put your predictive skills to the test. Examine all of the available data online and guess the minimum temperature at Dome A each day during National

Science Week (August 16 to 24). You could be part of climate history and win a prize for an accurate prediction! Go to www.aad.gov.
