Civic hall reopened

Byron councillors elected Michael McDonald

The NSW Electoral Commission started and completed the Byron Shire councillor vote count on the weekend and the results are in. Along with Mayor Jan Barham the Greens picked up three other candidates – Simon Richardson, Tom Tabart and Richard Staples. Group F led by Ross Tucker was successful in getting Tony Heeson and Diane Woods up as well, and the other two places went to Patrick Morrisey of Our Sustainable Future and Basil Cameron of Group C. Richardson was the first to get elected on preferences, followed by Tucker, Tabart, Heeson, Staples, Morrisey, Woods and Cameron. The Greens group received 5,764 votes or 37.6% of the total primary vote, followed by Group F with 4,812 (31.3%). MP Justine Elliot, Neta McKinnon and Mayor Jan Barham enjoy the ribbon cutting.

Almost eighty years ago, 11 year old Neta McKinnon watched as her father, the mayor at the time, cut the ribbon opening the front doors of the new Mullumbimby School of Arts Memorial Hall. Last Friday, almost 80 years later, much to her surprise and delight, the current mayor Jan Barham asked Neta to do the honours and cut the ribbon to open the doors on the refurbished Mullumbimby Civic Hall.

Significance In the room that was for so many years the home to hundreds of books, MP Justine Elliot and MLC Amanda Fazio were guest speakers at the official opening ceremony, held in the old library. Both spoke about the importance of community halls and of the significance of memorial structures in the form of buildings, parks and pools. Former Byron Shire Councillor Peter Westheimer was the last to address the gathering. As a long time campaigner and general nagger in favour of upgrading the community space, Peter became quite emotional

as he spoke of the hall’s regenesis in what he says is stage one of a two part process, the second being the renovation of the Neighbourhood Centre. Justine Elliot and Jan Barham unveiled a wall plaque commemorating the day, before Neta put scissors to ribbon and led the way into the main hall. Invited dignitaries and guests were the first to see the results of five years planning, design and rebuilding as the Byron Shire Council hosted a morning tea after the official ceremony, while still photos from yesteryear were screened on the stage.

Meanwhile, homeless While those invited to the Civic Hall opening soaked up the atmosphere and mini quiches, there was a small group who enjoyed a cuppa and a bikky next door at the Neighbourhood Centre. In the leadup to the grand event it had been suggested that the centre close its doors for the day to allow guests of the official event exclusive access to the community precinct, but Julie Williams from the Neighbourhood Centre felt it im-

‘For all residents’

portant to for the opening to be an inclusive event. ‘The committee has embraced the notion of refurbishing the Civic Hall and all power to them,’ said Julie last Friday, ‘but the community needs to see that the we here at the Neighbourhood Centre are important as well.’ Julie said she felt that opening the centre to patrons during the official ceremony and allowing the homeless access to the venue’s facilities would be less disruptive to the event than keeping the doors closed.

Important services ‘We are bigger than a drop-in centre,’ she said. ‘We are also run the Brighter Future Psychology Services program here, we have women’s services, we are a domestic violence outreach, we have volunteer counsellors and provide emergency relief.’ Ms Williams said that during the renovations, Council staff had bent over backwards to be helpful and supportive of the centre and she was very appreciative of the time and effort they put into consideration for the community resource and she was continued on page 2

Byron Ballina Greens convenor John Bailey said the result ‘brings with it both opportunities and responsibilities. With four Greens councillors elected, joined by two others standing on platforms of sustainability, it seems that the intention of the voters was that most citizens want development to be appropriate to the special nature of our community and be in accord with environmental values. However the Greens also accept that it must govern for all the residents of the shire, in all locations, and not just those who voted for us. ‘The challenge for the council is to remain financially responsible, while implementing progressive policies, and foster appropriate development which ensure that the town, villages and rural areas of the shire retain their special features which make this such a great place to live.’ Ross Tucker told The Echo, ‘It is pleasing to get three of our team elected. It would have been great to see Ken Barnham make it. I think Group F’s achieving 31.36% of the primary vote in the councillor election is a good result. ‘The polls have been a great suc-

cess for Jan and the Greens and congratulations to them. ‘My first observation of the election in general is that a vast number of people came to the polls knowing exactly how they were going to vote. They needed no assistance – how-tovote tickets or explanations of policy – on the day. ‘I do think there is merit in clarifying some of the financial elements that were raised in the campaign. Not for any political advantage now that the poll is over, but more to clarify the situation with the state of public monies which generally is of interest to the public, seeing that it is their money. ‘I predict the road – or is that railway track? – ahead will be busy. The new shirewide LEP is a priority and requires considerable input and direction from councillors. Coastline management and tourism management will need attention early in this term of Council. ‘I see the political make-up as being 6-3 which should permit, with contra views being at least expressed, the Greens to progress their agenda which is what the majority of last weekend’s vote indicated it wanted.’

A different council The new council is different in many ways. Only five of the previous ten-member council have been reelected. With only nine councillors this time the mayor’s casting vote to break deadlock will not come into play very often. While the Greens have a strong voting bloc, the success of their resolutions will depend largely on the views of Morrisey and Cameron; some votes could go 6-3 in the Greens’ favour, others possibly 5-4 against. While Tucker and Woods are likely to vote together, Heeson’s likely voting pattern is unknown. For those who have not seen our online report, Mayor Jan Barham was reelected with 7,973 votes on the final count to Ross Tucker’s 4,841. ■ Full results are available online by

A dozen local bands, an authentic German burlesque show, comedy with Mandy Nolan presiding, karaoke for the idol in us all, the NRL final on a 5 x 3 metre screen and a cornucopia of imported and local beers.

When you are hungry you can choose a snack from the food stalls, or sample a traditional German meal, including sauerkraut, sausages and handmade pretzels. Cancel the extra kilojoule intake by indulging in traditional Oktoberfest games such as the relay, where you carry a full stein of water 20 metres to fill a bucket. First team to fill the bucket wins a prize. Or be part of the team of ten at the pingpong table. Round and round you go, hitting the ball across the net until only two of you are left.

hoping the powers that be in the hall would do likewise. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;By not introducing themselves to the neighbours, the hall committeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fear about disturbances during the opening have created a missed opportunity to be inclusive of all members of the community,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Ms Williams said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;but I feel the outcome of todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event has been very encouraging and the committee and I will meet in the near future to discuss a more positive future and I am hoping that together we can build a good collaborative relationship.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; A poignant moment during the official event came when one of the Neighbourhood Centre visitors came into the hall foyer and used the toilet facilities. As she quietly left the building the sidelong glance at those gathered in the old library spoke volumes about the space between worlds. The hall has been used variously as a venue for balls and dances, boxing matches, school socials, weddings, public meetings, dance, theatre and musical productions and awards and film nights as well as a place to vote, go to church and greet the dawn on ANZAC Day.

Rallying in pink for breast cancer research On Thursday the Byron Bay Breast Cancer Support Group hosted the Bentley for Breast Cancer Lunch sponsored by the Beach Hotel in Byron Bay to raise awareness of breast cancer and funds for the McGrath Foundation, which works at getting access to a breast care nurse for all those affected by breast cancer in both metropolitan and regional areas. Nicki and Syd Reinhardt drove their 1929 Bentley from Melbourne to Murwillumbah wearing bright pink overalls. They stopped at many of the regional and metropolitan areas which need breast cancer nurses, spreading the word about the importance of breast awareness and early detection of breast cancer as they raised funds for the McGrath Foundation. Nicki and Syd and their support crew Kim and Ross, also driving a beautiful little vintage car, said the stories they had heard from breast cancer survivors along the way were inspirational. A group of eight from the Byron Bay Breast Cancer Support Group rallied in a flurry of pink with pink bras to greet Nicki and Syd at the Beach Hotel, where a cheque for $100 was presented by the group along with a cheque for $50 from The Brunswick

Barb Pinter, facilitator of the Byron Bay Breast Cancer Support Group, said, ‘We are very happy to get together to support Nicki and donate money to the McGrath Foundation as we have all been through needing the support of a breast care nurse and know the difference accurate and current information can make after a diagnosis of breast cancer. ‘We are very grateful to have had the support of the

Beach Hotel in doing so. ‘With one in eight women in our community diagnosed with breast cancer there is a real need for support at the local level and that is where the support group can also be very helpful.

NSW Bike Week to be celebrated in Brunswick Heads NSW Bike week is being celebrated all over the state between September 20 and 28. The RTA, Brunswick Chamber of Commerce, Byron Shire Bicycle Users Group and Byron Shire Council have joined forces to ensure that this year Bike Week is celebrated in the Byron Shire. While the rides from the various towns and along the beach to Byron will suit the more energetic riders, the Tour de Bruns offers a gentler option for families. Routes and departure schedules for the out of town rides are available at www.

byronbug.org.au and registration with leaders by phone is essential. However, those who don’t want to ride can enjoy the laid back festival ambience at the Terrace Park as an interested cycling supporter and cheer on the Brunswick Surf Club’s Family Tryathlon participants at the finishing line around 10am. Or mingle with the bike riders and wander round the Bike Expo in the park where Darryl will display his restored bikes and trikes, Phil will have a range of his recycled bikes for sale and there will be an

assortment of electric bikes for those thinking about trading in their petrol guzzling cars. True Wheels Cycles and Byron Bay Bicycles will be on hand for free bike checks and bike riding tips. The Council’s newly adopted Bike Plan will also be on display. Giovanni Ebono from Bay FM’s ‘Generator’ program will MC an hour of light family entertainment from 11.30am at the Soundshell. Circus Arts will wow us with some acrobatic performances and our local songbird Sarah Buchanan will entertain us. Brunswick has never hosted a

NSW Bike Week event before, so at noon the event will be officially opened. The new bike racks on the Terrace will be unveiled and Mullumbimby Rotary acknowledged for their donation. The new ‘Biking around Bruns’ pocket guide, which contains the Tour de Bruns and other rides around the shire, will be officially launched. At about 12.15pm the winner of the $50 Brunswick Surf Shop voucher from the Ride to School activity on the Friday before will be drawn. Buy a raffle ticket or two before 1.30pm.

Bangalow debates highway issues Despite the fact that nine representatives of diverse local groups spoke on issues relating to the proposed Pacific Highway Tintenbar to Ewingsdale (T2E) upgrade, plus Reg Mills representing the transport industry, common ground was reached on major points at the Bangalow C om mu n it y A l l i anc e’s Pacific Highway Forum held in Bangalow on Monday September 15. ‘People voted unanimously to solve the noise and pollution problems on Granuaille Road, to protect our prime farming land, and to keep our roads as safe as possible,’ reported Radio National’s Mick O’Regan, the facilitator of the evening’s event. ‘Leading on from this forum, a group representative of Bangalow will be working with the RTA in the months that they study the feasibility of the proposed bypass, south of Bangalow. It was understood that the best hope to make any impact on the RTA was to speak with a single voice’. About 240 concerned Bangalow residents packed into Bangalow’s A&I Hall to listen to the RTA present their Environmental Assessment (EA) of the proposed upgrade of the T2E section of the Pacific Highway. The forum was designed to fully inform the Bangalow community on all associated issues, before making their submissions on the EA, due by September 29. The RTA’s General Manager for the Pacific Highway, Bob Higgins, came from Grafton to respond to questions during the evening. Following a presentation by Arup’s Peter Whitaker, talks were made relating to a study of a Southern Bypass, proposed to the State Minister by Byron Council, without prior consultation with affected landowners. Unhappy farmer Ray Hick, from Heavenly Valley Farms, south of Bangalow, made it clear that affected landown-

Building a bypass road there would have the effect of building a dam across the valley. Current residents experience flood waters entering their houses and I would expect will be greater affected. The commercial centre of Bangalow would run a major risk of flooding, too,’ he pointed out.

Noelene Plummer, from the Bangalow Landcare group, pointed out a southern bypass would destroy a decade’s worth of regeneration work by that group to improve the water quality of Byron Creek and restore remaining pockets of Big Scrub. Filmed by Terry Bleakley, the event included a presentation by Jan Mangleson who discussed traffic flows which would result from the proposed Southern Bypass. Chris Shevellar spoke about the noise and pollution challenges facing those living on the Pacific Highway on St Helena Hill from McLeods Shoot to Possum Creek, even with the T2E upgrade. Brian Sundstrom spoke for BLISS, ‘Bangalow Locals in Support of the Bypass Survey’ who were keen to see the RTA study results before decisions were made, while Trent Taylor represented the residents of the Clover Hill Estate, most anxious about increasing noise and pollution levels. Presentations made on the night will soon be available on the website of Bangalow’s Heartbeat magazine at www. heartbeat.net.au and the DVD of the event will be available from Bleak Films.

Create your own wardrobe with the Brunswick Heads CWA and Byron Shire Council. Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s youth development project in the north of the Shire is striking out with a new initiative in October that aims to attract younger women to learn new skills and connect with one of our longest serving community based organisations in the Shire, the CWA. Byron Shire Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Youth Development Officer, Maggie Brown, told The Echo, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The CWA is a fantastic resource for the young to know more about. While it is always good to create new ways to involve our youth, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not forget about these wonderful existing organisations that have so much to offer.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Tutor Pauline Hibbard is a qualified art teacher who has 25 years of experience in retail clothing and manufacturing. Her classes are fun and informative. Over five weeks Pauline will cover not only domestic dressmaking but also explain the training and commercial pathways into professional fashion and design to those who are interested. You can work on remodeling your own garments or learn

to make something new from a pattern. As an added bonus, if needed, CWA members with special skills will be demonstrating and giving instructions on the disappearing arts of crochet, knitting, tatting and lace making. CWA President Pauline Lee says, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We are delighted to be opening our doors to the younger women in our community and fostering a sense of community.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Those who are not famil-

iar with the CWAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history or its national agenda, may not know that it has enjoyed a hard won reputation as a grass roots womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s organisation for 86 years. Its primary aim is to improve conditions for women and children and make life better for families, especially those living in rural and remote Australia. It has a wide social interest in a number of contemporary areas that would surprise people who think the CWA is just about scones and dev-

onshire teas. To learn more about CWA go to www.cwaa. org.au. The course consists of six sessions, starting Monday October 13 and ending November 17 at the Brunswick Heads CWA Hall (Booyun St, behind the public school) from 12.30pm to 4pm. The cost will be $45 or $40 if paid in full. There is a participant maximum of six, so register early. Contact tutor Pauline Hibbard on 6685 1197.

Key changes in the revised plan include: t OP FDPUPVSJTN EFWFMPQ ment to the south of the surf club; t UIF DBGF PS LJPTL QSPQPTFE in Torakina Park will be incorporated into a redeveloped surf club; and t DBS QBSLJOH XJMM OPU CF provided opposite the boat harbour. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The concept plan which was previously exhibited for the redevelopment of the old Pacific Highway corridor and Fins restaurant site was well

supported,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Mr Kelly said. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pleased the government has listened to the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ideas and concerns and provided a solution that will deliver long-term social and economic benefits. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The content of the 73 submissions was carefully considered and the plan amended to reflect the best balance of economic, environmental and social outcomes,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Mr Kelly said. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The plan has set the framework for future enhancement of the Brunswick Heads foreshore in a responsible and

Local muso invents the Percusso Hans Lovejoy

If you watched The New Inventors the other night on ABC TV, you may have spotted Byron local musician and inventor Matt Ledgar. Matt has created a percussion instrument that combines the sounds of a tambourine and clave (wood block) into a single instrument, possibly a world first in musical instrument innovation. ‘This lifts percussion to the level of an instrument, where traditionally percussion had one application only,’ Matt told The Echo. Percusso produces sounds both independently or in unison and is played with one hand. All sounding parts can be changed or altered, enabling musicians to develop personalised sonic textures. Five years in the making, Matt meticulously designed the sturdy parts to a high level, making sure that the parts won’t wear out easily. ‘The body is sleek, hardened alloy and stainless steel to give it strength,’ Matt says. ‘It is also loud – made to be played with samba groups or on stage, where the player really needs to cut through without using too much energy. Equally it can be toned down for practice.’ Matt says the rhythmic capabilities of Percusso extend

to the current possibilities of traditional hand percussion instruments. ‘Many classic Latin rhythms can be played once a few simple mechanical moves are learned. Having control over two sounds means you can now play five beats directly over four beats, in one hand. This is a first!’ Matt Ledgar has spent over 20 years as an international touring musician. ‘Percussion has inspired me to travel, experience many cultures and encounter traditional instruments. These instruments create powerful rhythmic forms, movements and expressions.

I’ve found great percussion moves people to extraordinary places.’ Matt was raised in a freethinking family, and at 14 he moved to an alternative community called Bundagen in NSW. ‘It was a “can do” sort of a place,’ says Matt. ‘Everyone was doing their own thing and creating new ways to solve old problems in just about every area, from building amazing houses to creating fantastic music. It was inspirational in so many ways.’ Matt has played all over the world with groups such

as Wild Marmalade, Utungun Percussion, Kangaroo Moon, and Skin. ‘Glastonbury, Ibiza, Las Vegas, Edinburgh, Prague, Kathmandu, Montreal and San Francisco stand out,’ he says. He has also worked with Cirque Du Soleil, Olivia Newton John and Skunkhour and has also taken time out from touring to study in places like Cuba, Pacific Islands, India and West Africa. Percusso is available for $79, and for more (including online tuition and demonstrations) visit www.percusso.org or call him on 0402 686 213.

Farewell to our drama queen One of the best-loved identities in local theatre, Peg Gloor, died recently at the age of 82. Peg moved to Byron Shire from England in 1958. After her husband died, she completed an Associate Diploma of Arts in Singing, Drama and Radio at Lismore College of Advanced Education, from 1982 to 1985. Peg’s ‘big break’ in theatre came in 1985 when she was asked to play the wife in Neil Simon’s Plaza Suite for the Pacific Players, based at the Drill Hall Theatre. During her years of involvement at the Drill Hall Theatre in everything from wardrobe mistress to supper lady, Peg directed about eight plays including Christmas musicals, working particularly with Audrey Hoving who was a ‘marvellous producer’. Her favourite play was Inherit The Wind by Frederic March about the so-called Monkey Trials in 1926 in which ‘a poor young man was prosecuted for teaching Darwin’s Theory of Evolution in schools somewhere in the south [of the USA]’. The late Nicholas Shand, The Echo’s founder, played a newspaperman. In 1984 Peg was also on the Arts Council committee, and was able to arrange funding www.echo.net.au

from the Arts Council for a playwrights conference and playwriting competition. Ten plays were submitted from around the Northern Rivers and two were selected for professional workshopping in the Old Drill Hall. The idea testdriven at this competition, of actors, writers and directors meeting to hold readings of works in progress, forms the ongoing basis of Baywrite Theatre Inc’s success. Peg had an inclusive approach to theatre. In an in-

terview near her 79th birthday, she told The Echo, ‘What I like most about theatre is the unfolding of the rehearsal process, the getting it together is the fun part and also the enjoyment of participation.’ In directing a play she stuck to her tried and true recipe for success – an equal mix of patience, people skills, and a non-dictatorial approach. ‘Having respect for everyone involved and being a part of a team helps the whole thing gel.’ The Byron Shire Echo September 23, 2008 7

Three local blokes showed just how hot they really are at the recent NSW Rural Fire Service 17th annual State Championships held at Cudgen Leagues Club in Kingscliff. On the Far North Coast, the NSW Rural Fire Service represents 21 brigades and 1500 members, covering the areas of the Ballina and Byron Shires and the Tweed. Over 200 firefighters from all over the state competed in the event which gave the firies a chance to meet other fire fighters from all over NSW to exchange notes and to put their drill training into practice. The Tweed Byron representative team which came together to compete drew members from five local Brigades in the Far North Coast Zone had only six weeks to get in synch with each other, and they still managed to strut their stuff to the max and show the competition what the north coast brigades are made of. Three of the six member team were from brigades in the Byron Shire. Members Gregg Miller from Byron Bay,

Some like it hot: winning firefighters John Milford, Gregg Miller and Lance Hopson.

Lance Hopson from Main Arm and John Milford from Wilson Creek were instrumental in the group win. Over the two day event the team produced a stellar result in seven events, including first in the Pump and Tanker event and the Structure Fire Event, second in the Equipment Failure and the Light Tanker events and third in the House Boat Fire event.

To put the cherry on the icing, the team also won the title of Best Crew Leader and first place in the overall championship, The Far North Coast team hosted this year’s State Championships and it was announced at the presentation that it was the first time a home team has ever won the State Championship title. It was a great achievement from

a composite group who had such a relatively short time to train together, showing the great teamwork from the six and demonstrating the excellent training which is provided from the NSW Rural Fire Service to become a firefighter.

Comment

A giant planet hoves into view Volume 23 #16

September 23, 2008

The future of tourism Byron Shire Council has its Tourism Management Plan on public exhibition. You can read it online at www.byron.nsw. gov.au – it is listed under Current Matters on the right of the Council’s homepage – and submissions can be made until October 23. In addition the Australian Regional Tourism Research Centre (www.regionaltourism.com.au/ARTRC/ index.html) will be holding information sessions at Ocean Shores community centre this Wednesday 6pm-7.30pm and at the Byron Bay community centre this Thursday 6pm7.30pm. The 63 page document offers fairly predictable recommendations: establish a tourism committee and have Council appoint a fulltime tourism officer. One of the more interesting strategies is to ‘develop a tourism education and communications program to educate visitors about the environment, community values, appropriate visitor behaviour and safety and security’. The forerunner of that strategy should be further community discussion on what kind of visitor we want to attract in the first place and the current furore over large-scale festivals is likely to be part of that. Any visitor (or local) should recognise that Byron Shire has a fragile natural environment which needs protecting. All this needs to be explored before any Byron ‘brand’ – another of the plan’s recommendations – is established. ‘Party Town’ is not likely to fit in with ‘Nature Reserve’ in any branding strategy. Whatever type of punter we aspire to attract (or not), dealing with tourism cannot be avoided. As the management plan points out, ‘Byron Shire’s economy is now dominated by tourism with Byron Bay accounting for more than 55% of the Shire’s $1.37 billion gross business revenue.’ But it would be unwise to keep our eggs chiefly in one basket. If the councillor candidate response to our questionnaire is anything to go by, there is strong interest in supporting alternatives to tourism, such as the creative industries, and Council in conjunction with peak bodies such as Screenworks can encourage that diversification. Tourism, like the world economy, is in flux. The domestic market is expected to remain flat over the next decade and the international tourist dollar will be hotly competed for. Credit crises, oil crises and the effects of climate change may end up plucking Byron Bay’s goose of the golden eggs. Will we be prepared? – Michael McDonald, editor

t used to be said that the Great Wall of China was the only human artefact large enough to be seen from the moon. Satellite observations have cast doubt on this idea, but in any case the Great Wall has been superseded by a new contender: Malcolm Turnbull’s ego. This monstrous construct has just devoured the parliamentary Liberal Party in a ceremony Turnbull described as ‘humbling’ – presumably he meant for the Liberal Party. He himself has long been immune to such human weakness and undoubtedly sees his most recent elevation as just another small step towards the conquest of the universe. Even his best friends admit that Turnbull can be an abrasive character, and not always a predictable one. I had a chance to study him reasonably closely during the republican convention of 1999 in the old parliament house in Canberra. By the final day the convention had disintegrated, just as John Howard had designed it to; there were factions of factions of factions, none of which could agree about anything. But as I wrote in The Australian at the time, there was still one motion which would have been carried by acclamation if anyone had proposed it: a declaration that Malcolm Turnbull was a thug, a bully and a general all-round arsehole. This was in no way a reflection on his dedication to the cause, which was generous and untiring. But it did rather suggest that he was less than a team player – a gilt-edged egomaniac, in fact. Then there is the story of the cat, noted by the disgraced Canadian publisher Conrad Black in his memoirs and res-

urrected by Alan Ramsey in the Sydney Morning Herald at the weekend: it is said that when Turnbull was ditched by a girlfriend in his student days, he took revenge by strangling her cat and leaving it on her doorstep. This may well be a libel, although Turnbull has never taken action over its publication. But the mere fact that many of his colleagues find it utterly

impression of honesty and consistency, but it is also bad policy. The fact that Turnbull, the self-styled policy wonk, feels compelled to maintain it in the interests of party unity demonstrates just how serious the doubts about his leadership really are. It is worth noting that despite the utter despair about Nelson, Turnbull only got up by a very small margin and the fact that

Turnbull has made a point of not dumping the policies he inherited from Brendan Nelson, even the really silly ones like the five cent reduction on petrol excise… by Mungo MacCallum convincing goes some way to explaining why they still have their doubts about entrusting him with their future. Turnbull has tried to assuage their fears by playing down his Mr Moneybags image – why, he once lived in a flat, albeit in Double Bay. But his current life style and his portfolio of hugely expensive real estate are not reassuring. While it is true that the Rudd family is also very well off the Prime Minister doesn’t flaunt it and indeed makes a point of mixing with the homeless. So he can get away with it; nobody calls him a silvertail. Few call Turnbull anything else. Turnbull has also made a point of not dumping the policies he inherited from Brendan Nelson, even the really silly ones like the five cent reduction on petrol excise and the $30 a week single pension increase, not to mention a host of other unfunded promises. This, like Rudd’s insistence on honouring all election promises, is presumably to give the

he got up at all is a testimony to the impotence and irrelevance of Peter Costello. Costello openly backed Nelson, but nearly all his erstwhile followers shifted to Turnbull, pushing him over the line. Costello, like his memoirs, has been remaindered. At least that’s one less worry for Turnbull – if, in fact, he ever saw Costello as a worry, which he probably didn’t. Those who know they were born to win can recognise born losers at forty paces.

eanwhile Kevin Rudd has decamped to the United States to observe the demise of capitalism in its spiritual home. Actually the sight of rugged individualists demanding to be bailed out by taxpayers as soon as they get into trouble will be familiar to him. After all, it was the Australian Country Party, now the Nationals, which first espoused the philosophy of privatising gain and so-

cialising loss. For many years the farming organisations have demanded and received, special subsidies, protection and relief in times of trouble. There is nothing wrong with this, but we could do without their insistence that they are sturdily independent, unlike the city softies. Similarly George Bush is totally justified in using public money to save failing investment companies, however shonky; while the institutions themselves may have done nothing to deserve salvation, most of the people affected are ordinary citizens who invested directly as customers or indirectly through their insurance companies, retirement funds or whatever. It is hardly their fault that they have been let down by the gung-ho freemarketeers who have always railed against government intervention – until, of course, they needed it. These should now be confined to the public stocks for periods directly proportional to the size of their salary packages and pelted with as much rotten fruit as their former clients can afford. When released, they should be made to write out a thousand times each: ‘I will not criticise public welfare with my own snout in the public trough. Pure capitalism does not work any better than pure socialism. Economic rationalism is not rational. A mixed economy is the only kind that makes sense.’ They could then be reemployed in jobs commensurate with their talents, such as fence posts on rural properties or speed humps in suburban roads. After all, a caring capitalist society has a place for everyone, even the proven failures. Just ask Peter Costello.

More thoughts on a Bangalow bypass ■ I think it’s time for a few facts

about the proposed southern bypass for Bangalow – as opposed to hype. As the upgrade of the highway between Tintenbar and Ewingsdale is currently planned, Bangalow will continue to serve as the interchange for all traffic coming from or going to the west. Southbound traffic from the west will travel down Bangalow’s main street while northbound traffic, the large majority and including a high percentage of heavy vehicles, will continue to go along Granuaille Rd and St Helena hill in order to reach the Ewingsdale interchange, as it does now. In other words, only about 55% of through traffic will use the upgraded Highway

That election In case any conservatives think that my car sign or pamphlets had anything to do with Ross Tucker’s vastly increased minority, may I cite the letter attached by Ross himself to my car sign: ‘Buck$, you really are a mongrel. Why only 1 + sign. This sign worked for me – but I needed another 6, one at each polling booth. Your idle, scrimping meanness has cost me. Regards Rosco 13/9’ (Original shown to Echo.) This letter will of course come in handy should Ross think to sue me for the damages my sign clearly didn’t cause – in his eyes, at least. My own analysis is that while many were outraged by the sign and no doubt loudly expressed their support to him, the fact remains that these people were going to vote for him in any case; and no matter how angry, they still only had one vote. Duh… The broader analysis is that most people saw that Jan Barham during her term attracted far less vitriol than any

and tunnel, built with hundreds of millions of dollars of our money, while the rest continues on the old route to the considerable cost of those of us who live there: noise and vibration – sometimes shaking the floorboards, pollution and danger. The proposed southern bypass has been put forward as a solution to keep traffic away from Bangalow and I find it incredible that some alarmists are claiming it will do the opposite. At present the RTA are doing a preliminary investigation only and people’s concerns about possible impacts are premature and based on unfounded assumptions. Equally unfounded are the confident assertions that the traffic can be persuaded – or rememberable mayor and was therefore perceived as doing as doing a reasonably good job. The craven attempts by the socalled Byron United to falsify council’s books in the Byron News – without having the courage to put anyone’s name to their figments – shows that that newspaper has clout only with those diehards who treat politics with the same one-eyed fanaticism which they attach to footy: my team right or wrong. Coming face to face with so many angry people during the course of my campaigning (I do not preach to the converted) I’ve concluded that ‘conservatives’ are people who simply do not want to know the reality of what goes on around them, while ‘rednecks’ are those who are actually proud of their arrogance. As for ‘scrimping’, I’ll still be $1250 down on my campaign due to donor fatigue and meanness – as usual. Fast Buck$

forced – to use another route. We were promised a bypass in the 90s and given only a partial one. I think people might at least be sufficiently generous to let the RTA get on with their Study. Jenny Coman

Bangalow As a resident of Bangalow I am very pleased that the RTA are going ahead with the study for a southern bypass; many of us have been working towards this for years and the RTA recognised the need for a bypass in their strategic access document released back in January. They were unwilling to investigate it at the time, but thanks to the intervention of the Minister and support of our Council, they will now make a

and running the gauntlet of ‘how to vote’ cards from every which way I remember why I always get riled on election day (be it local, state or federal). In my opinion, this ridiculous, uncivilised and ineffective practice should be banned on voting day. Keep it civil and calm and people will make their own considered choice. Apart from the dreadful waste of paper, and the intimidatory nature of these hustlers, I reckon if people don’t know who they are going to vote for by the time they get there, they don’t deserve a vote. What I have noticed voters doing is taking pamphlets from all political persuasions, presumably in order to maintain their privacy as to who they will be voting for and then discarding them upon exit. Which equates to just more junk mail, as if we don’t have enough.

start while the Environmental Assessment for the upgrade is on exhibition. Bangalow residents should not have to suffer the noise and pollution of an ever-increasing stream of traffic – particularly heavy vehicles – coming from and going to the west. Given the hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars to be spent on the new motorway and the St Helena tunnel, it makes sense that all the traffic – not a mere 55–56% – should be able to use it. We have found common cause with Ewingsdale residents who want the traffic off the dangerous St Helena hill and away from them and look forward to this study bearing positive results.

Perhaps the ‘true blue long time members’ are such a closed club that anyone else feels like a takeover? So, Petroffs, everything you imagine is just that – fantasy, and your own projection. I see it differently. It appears to me and others that OSCA currently does not represent our open-minded, creative, dynamic, curious, diverse, generous community. Ocean Shores deserves better.

Ocean Shores ■ Dear SWAG team members, support teams, colleagues and local supporters: You have all contributed a mighty effort to our ‘Time for Change’ Campaign, delivering fliers prior to election day, patiently working through Electoral Commission requirements, for all your dedication and enthusiasm at the polling booths (including the two older ladies, Betty and Margaret working for Jan Mangleson on the Bangalow booth all day), manning the BBQ and scrutineering, to all our friends and many residents across the Shire who offered encouragement and support throughout the whole campaign, a sincere thankyou for all those helping hands. No matter the outcome, we love where we are, and we keep doing what we do to balance the scales. We will be back in the thick of things, keeping the buggers honest and supporting the local communities wherever we can. Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts, for all your assistance.

Disha’s friends call for an apology ■ As Disha Schlueter’s mother,

I want to express my dissatisfaction with your article. The date of my daughter’s death was not the 5th, but September 8. At this point I hope other clients who were not satisfied with Dr Suresh’s treatment or behaviour as a doctor have the courage to speak up. All we have asked for is a little remorse, a sincere apology and that Dr Suresh donate an ultra sound machine to the Mullumbimby Hospital, so that these mistakes cannot happen again. Some honesty would help heal the big wound that he has created, not only for our family, but also for the community of Mullumbimby and even for himself. People who want to share with me regarding their experience with Dr Suresh, or anything else concerning this article, can write to me at nandan@infinito.it Cornelia Nandan Schlueter

Roar of the crowd

I applaud the voters of Byron Shire in electing a team that will help retain the social and natural attributes that we hold dear. An early request of the new Council: it was just announced that the World Rally Championship will ‘roar into’ (to quote the press release) the towns of Kingscliff, Kyogle Tina Petroff and Mullumbimby every two Shire Wide Action Group years from 2009 until 2017

Dr Suresh was found guilty deeply disappoints me. The article did not inform the people of this shire properly and I certainly expect more from The Echo. I would sincerely hope that you would print another article that exposes the alarming facts. The feelings her death triggers in me are immense and I feel the reprimand that Dr Suresh was given is an insult to her memory and the price she paid for trusting Dr Suresh, and a slap in the face for her family and all of us who love her. For him to appeal the medical board’s decision and to ignore their suggestion to apologise to Disha’s family leaves me speechless and hurt.

cumstances that contributed to your decision on Disha’s diagnosis but the fact remains that a beautiful, pregnant, vibrant young woman died. And all those who loved her want from you is a simple apology. Is that too much to ask? Melinda Andreas

Ms Schlueter’s family has not pursued a lawsuit against Dr Suresh and was only asking for a personal or public apology from him. Now they have to read about his excuses and that he is appealing the ruling. I think they deserve much better than this. Avi Diekotter

San Rafael, California Disha Schleuter’s death of a burst ectopic pregnancy three years ago caused shock and outrage within our community. Dr Suresh’s comments the other week repeat and compound those feelings. Reading your article compels me to write to convey my relief that finally the truth can be heard, and the disbelief that Dr Suresh is unable to admit what he has done. We all make mistakes, and we all know we have to take responsibility for them. When Disha died the media coverage was deliberately limited, so as not to sensationalise the tragedy because a legal complaint was to be lodged to allow proper process to be met. Disha was very loved and it was a shocking and traumatic experience. An apology

was asked for as a part of the healing process. The simple point is that the hospital and Dr Suresh, with over 30 years experience, made a misdiagnosis. Nothing will bring Disha back, but we don’t want this to happen to any other woman or family. We all know the healing power of an apology, and the Civil Liabilities Act states that an apology is an ‘expression of regret’ and later that ‘an apology made by a public official does not constitute an implied admission of fault’ and ‘is not relevant in the determination of liability’. Now publicly, we invite Dr Suresh to express his regret and make an apology, and we extend that invitation also to the nurses and staff who were involved, who may like to assist the healing for Disha’s family, and also for themselves. The mistakes that led to Disha’s death were avoidable, no-one within this community wants these to happen again, especially to someone they love. Zenith Virago

An exSydney resident, I chose to live here for peace and quiet only to find that many of my early mornings and days are shattered by the constant noise of aircraft buzzing overhead.

She’s apples I am writing as Manager of the Byron Farmer Market and would like to respond to your two readers who wrote regarding our fine market on separate subjects. Mark Smith queries why the seasonal apple grower has now returned home to Queensland. Here is the background. It is actually quite simple – their fresh apples are now well out of season and at Byron Farmers Market we do not sell long period refrigerated produce. These growers are only temporary seasonal growers from interstate. Long term refrigerated produce not only tends to lose flavour but more importantly levels of vitamins are also believed to significantly decline. The outstanding success of the Byron Farmers Market is primarily driven by our fresh local delicious produce and our high ethic of sustainable local production. By supporting local produce we minimise greenhouse gas emissions from excessive transport and say ‘eat what is in season and eat local’. However, we do give serious weighting to our customers wants and thus we also have seasonal apples, seasonal cherries and seasonal grapes. However, much as we wish we could, we cannot supply all things to all people. Our constitution states that we limit our permanent member farmers’ locality to the Byron Region. Broadly this area is defined by where the molten rocks that blew out of the Mount Wollumbin volcano landed some 25 million years ago. Thus this is bounded by Ballina in the south, Lismore, Nimbin, Kyogle in the west and the Tweed River in the north Dev Lengjel’s letter on price does not seem to take quality into account. We do not claim to always be the cheapest but we pride ourselves on excellent quality and highly competitive prices. Our mission is simply for the member local growers to provide fresh, delicious, nutritious and locally grown competitively priced produce to www.echo.net.au

for a Yes Minister segment. Look at this from The Echo for instance: ‘Ms Elliot said that if Howard and Costello get three more years, the north coast would continue to miss out. She said Labor will save bulk billing and Medicare, and reinstate the Casino to Murwillumbah train line.’ And from the ABC: ‘The NSW government’s decision to abandon train services north of Casino, ending the service to Byron Bay and Murwillumbah, caused a flurry of announcements by both sides, promising federal funds to reinstitute the service.’ After the 2007 elections, I

enquired what progress had been made regarding the reinstatement of the train line only to be told that it was a state matter only. Then from a transcript of press conference, Anthony Albanese MP April 30, 2008: ‘What we say is that funding is required; in a cooperative manner, we want to sit down, and we already have, with state governments, and with local government, talking about what the needs are for infrastructure provision.’ When I enquired of him what progress had been made about reinstatement of our train line I was told that was

not in his department. Mr Albanese’s portfolio is Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government. I have since been advised by Ms Elliot’s office that the ones to contact are Amanda Fazio (the duty MLC for this area) amanda.fazio@parliament.nsw.gov.au and David Campbell, NSW Minister for Transport keira@parliament. nsw.gov.au.

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

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

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

To protect our economy, we must act now. We’re developing a Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme to tackle climate change, putting a limit on carbon pollution and encouraging cleaner energy solutions.

Festivals continue to fascinate ■

Your correspondent, Cass Emanuel (Letters, September 16), has clearly not been reading many letters during the past year. If she were to read the letters that have appeared in The Echo over the past year she would note the following. Firstly, I did not, nor have I ever, accused anybody opposing the horse trail of being a ‘NIMBY’. On the contrary, it was I being accused of the dreaded NIMBY slur which you have gleefully repeated. Secondly, I have had several letters published in which I have stated that if there were only one festival a year at the Yelgun/North Ocean Shores site, I would not oppose it. Having being told by one of its shareholders that the

Splendour group planned to hold at least four festivals a year on that site and for reasons that included traffic, social impact, environmental impact and in particular, the impact I thought that amount of mega festivals would have on Brunswick Heads, I became increasingly active in opposing it. Thirdly, if Cass Emanuel, had read several recent press releases published by The Echo she would know that the centerpiece of our (The Coalition for Festival Sanity) agenda is to have a Festivals Policy enacted by Byron Council that would do precisely what she says I should be doing and that is to regulate the size frequency and noise levels of festivals.

Call to save old growth forests Story & photo Lou Beaumont

Following their visit to Mullumbimby on September 6 as part of their latest campaign, the Wilderness Society delivered 10,000 letters and postcards to Mr Ruddâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brisbane office on September 10, asking him to protect our natural carbon banks â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s old growth forests. The United Nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s climate change conference in Bali in December 2007 was historic for more than just the reason that Australia signed the Kyoto Protocol. It was also the first time that the role of natural forests in storing greenhouse gases was recognised by the international community. Since then, international negotiations have focused on greenhouse gas emissions from deforestation and forest degradation in developing countries. But it is not just a problem in the developing world â&#x20AC;&#x201C; logging of natural forests is happening every day in Australia. Additionally, the global community does not yet fully understand the role of the planetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s untouched ancient forests when compared with that of new growth forests. About 20% of global emissions are from deforestation â&#x20AC;&#x201C; about the same as from the entire transportation sector. The emissions from forest degradation have not yet been accounted for globally, but are thought to be an additional 10%-15%. If so, a third of the emissions problem can be solved by better protecting existing forests. Australian governments and international agencies urgently need to protect the carbon stored in natural forests (green carbon) as part of the set of measures needed to solve the climate change problem. When considering the global carbon cycle, it is important to know that there are four types of carbon: grey carbon, that which is stored in fossil fuel (coal, oil and gas deposits in the lithosphere); green carbon, that which is stored in the biosphere (taken up from the atmosphere through plant photosynthesis, hence â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;greenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;); brown carbon, that which is stored in industrialised forests (ie grey carbon is emitted managing such forestry operations which produce some green carbon, hence a new carbon category â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;brownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;); and blue carbon which refers to the inorganic carbon stored in the atmosphere and our oceans. According to the Wilderness Society, currently both the Australian government and the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) are underestimating the amount of carbon stored in Australian natural forests on average by three times, and some forests www.echo.net.au

are underestimated up to ten times. Data for estimations of carbon storage is being gathered from plantation forests (brown carbon), which not only makes the incorrect assumption that they are able to store the same amount of carbon as natural forests (green carbon) but obviously produces an estimate that is far from the equivalent data that would be gathered from old growth forests. As a result, important decisions for climate targets are based on inaccuracies and result in targets that are set too low for any significant reduction in carbon emissions.

carbon from the atmosphere at a relatively slow rate. In other words, we never get that large capacity for carbon storage back. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;But despite what we now know, our natural forests are not being valued any differently to new plantations. In some parts of the world, such as Indonesia, people are clearing natural forests in order to plant plantations or biofuel crops as they are remunerated for this. It is truly crazy. Our own government is looking at ways to geosequester atmospheric carbon (put it underground) but our natural forests do this job every day! Protection of these

but also the international framework for carbon reduction in the next Kyoto protocol will be decided by December 2009 in Copenhagen. By then it is hoped that Rudd will understand the significance of our existing carbon banks and can convince other countries of their role. In addition to writing, cut out demand for natural forest logging â&#x20AC;&#x201C; check wood and paper products are sourced from plantation forests and not native ones, and the WS suggest visiting local natural forests to fully appreciate their wonder.

The amount of carbon that is released into the atmosphere when an old growth forest is disturbed cannot be neutralised by the planting of young regrowth forest. One causes rapid and gross carbon release and the other extracts carbon from the atmosphere at a relatively slow rate. In other words, we never get that large capacity for carbon storage back. Gemma Tillack of the Wilderness Society said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;It is the mission of the Wilderness Society to protect Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wild country â&#x20AC;&#x201C; our rivers, oceans, forests and air. We are all joined globally by this issue of climate change and now the WS is trying to get out in the community and educate people about the role of natural forests. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Mature vegetation is our carbon regulator. It is logical that the older the forest, the more carbon is stored in its wood and therefore the more carbon is released if it is logged. The amount of carbon that is released into the atmosphere when an old growth forest is disturbed cannot be neutralised by the planting of young regrowth forest. One causes rapid and gross carbon release and the other extracts

forests must be incorporated into the next Kyoto protocol if we are to have any chance of reaching appropriate carbon emission reduction targets. Without the forests, even current targets cannot be met.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Currently Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme (CPRS) is being finalised. It is vital that individuals educate themselves on the vital roles of our natural forests and their corresponding ecosystems and join the campaign to save them. Visit the www.wilderness.org.au and sign up to the cyberaction or write letters directly to Mr Rudd and ask him to act now to immediately protect Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s carbon banks before itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too late. Mr Rudd is not only considering Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s domestic decisions in the form of the CPRS

Hearing voices: Dominic’s story Mandy Nolan

Having a mental illness carries with it a certain amount of social stigma. Stories that are told rarely have a happy ending, but it’s important to know, that there is hope out there and that many people who have mental health issues also live fully engaged lives in the community. Dominic Kitching is 34. He is in his first year of applied computing at SCU in Lismore. In his late 20s Dominic’s world started to fall away and he has very courageously decided to share his story to give other people hope. ‘If I can help someone – that’s the main motivation for being here – if someone can read this and get help then it’s worth sharing my story. ‘I first started becoming unwell when I worked in the Casino in Cairns as a croupier. I started developing paranoid delusions – at the time I knew something wasn’t quite right. ‘I thought there was a plot out against me – that I had done something wrong and that I would be arrested. Every time I saw a security guard I’d be in a sweat.’ This was made even more challenging, seeing as Dominic was surrounded by security at the casino. ‘I held it together and left Cairns – I ended up staying with my Mum and with mates that I had on the Sunshine Coast. I still wasn’t particularly well but I presented really well. That can make it challenging to get help.’ At the time Dominic was living in a house where his friends were abusing pharmaceutical drugs and smoking pot, so no one really noticed his deteriorating mental state. A former pot smoker, Dom had given it away in the initial stages of his illness. ‘Pot wasn’t the cause of my mental illness.’ He stopped smoking at the time he lived in Cairns. ‘I went into a black hole where I wouldn’t go outside – I disassociated and I realised then I shouldn’t be smoking. I didn’t realise I was mentally unwell – I just knew I had to stop.’ Around this time Dominic injured his knee in a skateboard accident and had to undergo a multiple reconstruction. He relocated to Brisbane where his Mum took care of him post surgery while he attended rehabilitation. ‘We had some renting issues in Brisbane and moved to the Gold Coast. That’s where Mum suicided. It was partly due to the medication she was taking, she was a depressive, and she was taking Xanax – which doctors only prescribe cautiously and it should be short term, you are only meant to take it 6-8 weeks, she www.echo.net.au

was trying to come off it.’ Ironically, one of the side effects of coming off Xanax is suicide and depression. Dominic’s mum had more serious issues of trauma and grief to deal with which her son credits with fuelling her five year depression. ‘My mum’s sister was murdered, and they had a son who was murdered as well.’ Now without his mum, in a state of grief, with a serious physical injury and a progressive and currently undiagnosed mental health problem, Dominic moved back to Brisbane. ‘I was sharing a house with friends and at that time I was becoming really paranoid. I started to get some voices – it’s like I have a bad friend in my ear that talks to me. The medication stops mostly all of that, which is great, but at the time I started to become quite unwell. ‘I ended up very depressed and psychotic in the sense that I would see people sneering at me when I walked past them in the street and hear them hurling abuse at me. I would hear them saying things and I remember being with Dad one day and I could feel their thoughts and then I heard them saying stuff and I remember Dad saying they are not saying anything... the mind is the most powerful part of the system, it can kill or cure.’ Robin is Dominic’s dad. He is also his support person. Robin also has a mental health issue of his own. This didn’t help him pick up on his son’s condition. ‘There was an inkling,’ Robin said, ‘but even then I wasn’t consciously aware of it, apart from my own mental illness, I didn’t know enough about mental health to look at these symptoms. When I was 21 I had an alcohol and stress related breakthrough – for me it was the best thing that could have happened to me in my life. It wasn’t a comfortable thing to live through but the outcome was that I got to examnine who and what I was.’ Dominic agrees with the journey of self knowledge his illness has facilitated: ‘I have a lot more insight now into myself now. I was always an empathetic person, and par-

ticularly more now because nothing shocks me, people can talk about heavy stuff with me.’ Dominic continued with his story: ‘I became more and more depressed and unwell and the next bit was the beginning of my salvation: I hired a hotel room across the road from the Southport Hospital and overdosed. I had retained a lot of medications that my mother had. For a long time I had had suicidal ideation. It was my secret. The cleaning lady came in the following morning and found me and they called the ambulance which was thankfully across the road and stomach pumped me. ‘I was taken to Tweed Heads – to the psych hospital. It was a bit hazy for me because it was getting worse – there would be graphic combination of obsessive compulsive and paranoia with schizophrenic and pyschotic tendencies – but I was still presenting quite well. I have now been diagnosed as having “schizo effective disorder”, basically it’s tendencies towards schizophrenia symptoms with clinical depression – not full blown schizophrenia.’ Dominic credits moving to the Northern Rivers and being admitted to Richmond Clinic as his turning point. It was here that he was finally diagnosed correctly, and here that he was finally given the right medication to manage his illness. It wasn’t just the diagnosis that got Dominic back into his life, it was the support from services within the community. ‘There were times when Dad felt in fear of his life because I sometimes saw him as the enemy and the crisis team would come out to Rosebank to talk to me.’ Dominic took a proactive approach to his health and embraced a number of disciplines to assist his recovery. ‘I went from being catatonic to getting my medication sorted and then I went to see Anthony Ng, a Chinese herbalist in Fortitude Valley, and I did that for about six months. The Chinese medication helped in combination with my medication, as an adjunct, not as a replacement.’ Dominic’s energy levels and

confidence increased and he made a decision to go back to study. ‘I went to an open day at TAFE in Lismore and thought I’d try certificate 2 in IT and it all stemmed from there.’ During this time Dominic still had to deal with the voices. ‘The voices took a long time to go, I still get the schixopphrenic and obsessive compulsive. I get these unwanted thoughts, that is where the mindfulness can help.’ Mindfulness is a course run by Malcolm Huxdale. ‘It’s a group thing, we practise meditation and get a lecture from Mal on a new topic each week – it’s life skills in the term of thinking skills and becoming aware of the thoughts you are having, becoming conscious and working with them, and developing strategies to live a happier life – I think that could apply not just to mental illness, but across the board, it could help everybody.’ Dominic and his Dad Robin are also both part of the Hearing Voices choir, the initiative by New Horizons. ‘I never thought I had a singing voice, and I don’t really, but being with likeminded people is great and also it’s helping to bring it open. Performing

in Byron (at Acceptance Day October 8) will be a bit nervewracking for all of us, but we will be there.’ Dominic’s story is a timely reminder of the power of a connected, well-serviced community. Dominic will be one of the performers in the Hearing Voices Choir, appearing on Wednesday October 8 in the park adjacent to the Byron Surf Club. It’s an all day affair. Be there early for the Beggar’s Banquet, with forums, panels, music and comedy throughout the day.

The Journal of Edward Herring Edward Herring, the Byron Shire Echo’s senior (and indeed only) journalist, was not possessed by any sense of foreboding when he booked a round-ticket to Switzerland for his long service leave. No soothsayer bawled a warning, no owl screeched or toad croaked. Qantas has had these critics of their engineering work banned from the airports and quite rightly so. No, there was no way for Edward to know that his comfortable, languid existence among the latte-sippers of Byron Bay was about to end in a cataclysm of phase space and temporal dislocation. Warnings had come from unlikely quarters, but they had not been heeded. Few people listened to the Society for the Imposition of Christian Knowledge, even when their message was amplified by the prestige of America’s vice presidential nominee Michaela Palin. The speed of light, she argued, was not mentioned in the bible and could not therefore be discussed in schools or laboratories; let the particle collision experiment be conducted by a pair of mile-long, curved Alpine horns placed in opposition to each other and then blown simultaneously by two of Switzerland’s loudest yodeleers. The clash

of sound waves would tell us all we need to know about the structure of the universe, and would indeed confirm that it had been created six thousand years ago. But the scientists ignored Palin’s SICK plan and persisted with their Hadron accelerator, even taunting SICK supporters by claiming that they were looking for the ‘God particle’. By the time Edward had settled down in his ski resort, situated several kilometres above the accelerator, all the preliminary testing had been done and the particles were ready to fire. As luck would have it, although SICK fears of mini black holes hoovering up the planet proved groundless, in Herring’s room, at the precise centre of the gigantic ring of accelerator magnets, a lattice of string vortices was generated which catapulted him into a parallel universe. Edward flew out of the collapsing space/time matrix like one of the ballistic missiles which president Palin would later launch against Siberia in pursuance of her Alaskan expansion policy. His screams were silent, even to his own ears, as he trailed a sonic waveclap which had no air to explode in. Then he landed.

‘Good heavens, Herring, are you all right?’ Edward shook his head and the scene came into focus. He was sitting in an untidy, somewhat stuffy office. On the other side of a desk sat a man in shirtsleeves with an old-fashioned eye-shade on his head. It might as well have

been labelled ‘Editor’. The room was vaguely familiar, as if he had glimpsed it in a dream. A ceiling fan laboured to push the warm air around and etched on the window was a complicated logo: ‘It’s happened again, hasn’t it?’ Edward’s voice seemed to start from far away and then get closer, as if it was still catching up with its owner. ‘If you mean, have you snoozed off again while being given an assignment, the answer is yes. Now pay attention.’ It began to come back then. The whole alternate reality Edward Herring had inhabited in patches for the past two decades. He was a journalist in the lookingglass world of Shelley Shire. His paper was not The Echo but the Mullcogan Times, his editor was Mickey O’Mallard, and his memories of Byron were evaporating as he felt the new reality solidify under his senses. O’Mallard was still speaking. ‘The election is up in the air. The only thing we know for certain is that Jan Borethem has routed Corporal Grubb. So she is still the Regent. God knows when the eunuchs in the bureaucracy will get round to counting the other votes. In the meantime we have an Assembly with no assemblypersons –’ ‘And a chamber of commerce with no clothes on.’ There was another person in the room Edward had not noticed before. He wore grimy overalls and a combination of ink and oil from the printing presses had smudged his bald pate. ‘That’s true, Production,’

said the editor. ‘Shelley Untied has managed to make fools of themselves.’ ‘Untied?’ repeated Herring. ‘Their name is meant to symbolise freedom from the shackles that Borethem has unfairly tied on developers.’ Production nodded sagely. ‘So they joined up with Grubb and plastered posters all over the Shire alleging that the Regent had squandered our taxes, or worse. Turns out all their charges were recklessly false. You will remember everything eventually, Edward. You’ve come and gone so many times I’m not surprised you’re still a bit woozy.’ ‘Actually, Herring, I was going to get you to interview the ringleaders. There’s a frontman called Mr Ed, bit of an ass really, then there are the other executives, the brains, such as they are, and there must be money somewhere in the picture. But you’d better wait till we know the composition of the new Assembly.’ ‘Is there anything I can do for the newspaper right now?’ ‘Yes, you can clean up our forums.’ Production led Herring outside to the great continuous notice board that ran around the four walls of the Times building. He gestured proudly. ‘See, it starts here, some weeks ago when the election was called. Hundreds of messages pinned or pasted to our forum space. The first notice is from Jean-Marie Dinglefuss, who puts himself forward as a candidate because he’s proactive and he supports Shelley Untied.’ Production pointed to the

notice in question. Edward observed that it contained several spelling errors and was written in capital letters and many different coloured inks. Production was walking along the wall. ‘Here’s another, and another… and another. Oh, and here’s one from Shelley Untied.’ He paused and read. ‘Well, I had no idea that Jan Borethem had committed all those crimes, especially the one with the camel. They must have some evidence, I suppose, for Mr Ed would never write something that he knew was untrue, would he?’ ‘I don’t know,’ said Edward, ‘but here’s another one from the same source. He says that Jean-Marie Dinglefuss is the best candidate in the field, according to their own experts. That should have won him a few votes.’ ‘Yes, it did,’ said Production, ‘and outpolling his leader, Olga Rasputinova, was a courageous move. She’ll be gunning for him now. Look, here’s a notice from her.’ ‘“Vote for me, Olga Rasputinova,”’ Edward read out, “I am responsible for beautifying Coastal Flaws single-handed. Vote for me because I know best.” She sounds like a formidable lady.’ They had turned four corners and were coming back to where the notice board started. ‘And there’s the last of them,’ said Production with some relief. ‘See… it’s Jean-Marie again. What does he have to say? “I’m pro-active, I support the businesses of Shelley Untied and you must vote for me, otherwise I’ll go home.” Ah, it’s nice to see democracy at work.’ ‘Where is home for JeanMarie?’ ‘He’s from Switzerland. He’s famous for providing the wind for one end of the Alpine horn sound accelerator.’ Herring inspected the crowded notice board. ‘And what does O’Mallard want me to do with all this?’ ‘He wants you to remove every last trace of the election notices, Edward. Here’s a claw-hammer and some glue solvent. That should get rid of most of them. We need to make space on the forum for commentary on the next big event.’ ‘What will that be?’ ‘Why, the results of the election of course. It’s true that the bureaucracy is charging three dollars per ballot paper for their counting services, and it’s true that they won’t be finished till sometime next month, but once those results are known, Edward, it’ll be a free-for-all, mark my words!’ www.echo.net.au

New Things Happening at St Finbarr’s Primary School 2009 is shaping to be an exciting year for St Finbarr’s with so many new and exciting developments. John Wilson joined the school as new principal in January.

Children at Lindisfarne Anglican Grammar School

‘We are currently building an Early Year Play Space for our younger students featuring a covered sand pit, water-play area and age relevant play equipment,’ said Mr Wilson. ‘We are very conscious of creating a smooth transition for children from preschool into the school environment.’ St Finbarr’s has a strong focus on holistic education, integrating the spiritual, academic, social and physical dimensions of school life. A dedicated team of teachers, involved in ongoing professional development, provide opportunities for acceleration, access to Gifted & Talented Workshops, Robotics and Multi Age Grouping in Literacy and Maths.

Teaching standards are fundamental. At Lindisfarne we attract and retain the best teachers, and recognise their contribution to achieving high quality education. We only employ teachers of high professional standing because this is the most powerful way of making a difference to the education of every student.

The learning experience at Lindisfarne begins with Preschool. This play-based program has a strong focus on developing children’s literacy and numeracy skills. The Preschool provides a seamless transition for children entering their first year of school in Kindergarten. To give your child the opportunity of an education at Lindisfarne or to join us at the Preschool Information Evening on Thursday October 16th. Contact 07 5590 5099 or email enrolments@lindisfarne.nsw.edu.au

‘One of our most popular classroom programs is robotics,’ continued Mr Wilson. ‘Our year one and two students thoroughly enjoyed the sessions which have resulted in significant learning outcomes in Mathematics, Technology and building teamwork.’

The sporting program includes Rugby League, Netball, Soccer, Cricket, Yoga, Dance, Gymnastics and more. Yearly SwimSafe and SurfSafe Programmes are part of the curriculum. An exciting new Performing Arts Program catering to all age levels has been introduced and the school’s music program is also diverse.

Ash Grunwald has just released his latest album, Fish Out of Water. It’s been a very different experience for Ash, who this time took a different tack and created a remarkable studio album. It’s something he’s immensely proud of. ‘I think it’s better than any other album I have ever done so far – it doesn’t sound so great to say that, but it’s definitely my favourite by far, it’s closer to what I have been striving for in terms of the sort of original sound. It’s a combination of the bluesy riffy thing that is always in my music but the other components are there now that have never been there before. Like, there are beats

4"563%":

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

on every other song and the songs that don’t have beats are really moody folky songs.’ For Ash the secret was in collaboration, and working with a producer who knew how to take his time in the studio and source his sound. ‘I had a producer for the first time. His name is Pip Norman, aka Count Bounce, from TZU. I met Pip at a songwriting day that our publishers put on called Writers Block. I had never really done that kind of thing before and I was pretty apprehensive about it. I wanted to do a beats thing myself for the next album, because I have been doing it already and when I met Pip I didn’t realise he was a producer, he got his laptop

out and laid down a beat, and we wrote Fish out of Water, and bang after that I hit him up and asked him to do an album with me. It was cool, we recorded a lot of stuff in his studio inside this shipping container – and then we went to my house and after that we did ten days in Sing Sing studios and hired Tony Espy who did TZU’s last album. These are processes I had never gone through before. I had never gone that extra mile. In the past I had always used analogue gear. I had never spent a month before getting an album right. It was all about the reworking. We had done all the songs in the container, that ten days in Sing Sing was about getting different amps with different

mics and seeing how we could tweak the sound.’ Ash became interested in creating new musical textures, to define his recording as distinct from live performance. ‘There is a lot of information in there that you don’t think you are hearing or picking up. I have learnt so much about those kind of things, you want to keep listening. You’ll put these little high things on a verse, and you don’t notice that you are even hearing it, but they are actually the things that really makes the song shine in a positive light.’ So what happens when the studio album hits the stage? ‘A big part of getting experimental is freeing myself from

the belief that it has to be the same as a live gig. The whole reason I don’t just go in and play live in a studio is that you create the excitement by working and reworking in the studio. It’s crafting the material sonically that makes it interesting – what I really love about playing solo at these gigs (although I’ll have Benny playing junk percussion, like the car door with a hammer), is that my tempo will synchronise to what the audience does if they start dancing – then I speed up, so in a way the audience is the band really.’

Mandy Nolan

When I moved to Byron Bay almost two decades ago, I did it to drop out. Not that I’d ever actually engaged in the cut and thrust of the mainstream. I was 22 and found the whole concept of making a decision about my life just far too perplexing. I could barely decide what T-shirt to wear, a life direction was just too much commitment. Instead I moved to a bright purple beach shack with a boyfriend who was later revealed as a small time gigolo. (He had the habit of giving me gifts which I later discovered were from the wardrobes of other women. I never twigged, although the name on the receipts on the dry cleaning docket in one of the pockets was a definite giveaway, and the undies never felt quite right.) I remember long days at the beach. Mid week. Like a Wednesday, when I would cross the road and wander over to Main Beach in my kimono and squat down and drink my tea. I remember reading The Magus, I’d put in a few hours, and when the sun got too intense by 11, I’d have a quick nude dip and pop home for a shower and a lie down. My next objective would be to think about lunch and would involve digging out loose change for a vegie burger with peanut sauce down at Ringos, where I sometimes worked. In the afternoon I’d have sex. Sometimes with another person. And then another lie down. Back to the beach for a walk. There were no mobile phones and people didn’t email. I used to talk face to face with real people who

NOW G KIN STOC ter Pat is S y d M ue an Uniq ttering ﬂa ver y o Style Retr as seen ers Bath Frankie in zine Maga

would pop in unannounced (can you imagine?) and plonk themselves at my kitchen table and talk about themselves and their issues for hours and hours, or until the five litres of tea caused a diuretic meltdown. Then I’d watch The Simpsons, a cutting edge new cartoon, and pour a glass of wine and write in my diary, adding to one of the many long diatribes of what I was going to do with my life and my latest pompous revelation about my personal raison d’etre. I’d sit up late, like sometimes past midnight and talk. Smoke joints. Listen to music. Go outside and watch the moon. The next day I’d pop my form back into the DSS where I told them I’d looked for work at The Beach Hotel and The Echo and each day would unfurl much like the next. This is like a dream. The career I never intended to have turned up any way. Now every second of my North Coast life is scheduled. Meetings at coffee shops about new projects, emails to return, school functions to attend, a urine collection diet to avoid, a book week costume to make, a story to write, a fundraiser for native rats with heroin addiction issues... Don’t get me wrong, I love my life, every crowded minute of it. But there are moments when I reminisce with such romanticism back to those long days filled with glorious nothingness. What I wouldn’t do for just a week. Of course, I’d like to be 22 as well. Being young with nothing to do is freedom. Being forty is just plain sad.

Tex and James at Evolve Tex Perkins and fellow Cruel Sea guitarist James Cruickshank headline Evolve Festival for an acoustic adventure like no other. Tex Perkins steps into a more mellow mode as he is joined by old friend and fellow Cruel Sea band mate James Cruickshank playing a few select, quieter shows around the country. James made a celebrated reappearance onto the music scene with his latest creation Hello Human released in July this year to glowing national reviews. It’s a great opportunity to catch Tex and James before they don the white suits and shoes for their Wolf Creek toned boy band, The Ladyboyz and present their easy listening made sinister to the masses.

I had an email chat with Kora. This is what they had to say. New Zealand seems to be leading the way in the wide world of dub, why do you think that is? NZ has always had a link with reggae. Apparently, after Jamaica, NZ still buys more reggae than any other country. Bob Marley had a huge influence on the Maori culture as well. I don’t know a lot about you – but I suspect that a number of you are related. Is it different making music with your family? Is that a real Kiwi thing as well? No this is not a KIWI thing. For us, writing music as a family doesn’t really come in to play. I think the main reason why we’re in the same band is trust. Trust as musicians on and off the stage.

The Drill Hall in Mullum has answered that call and will now bring a fresh flow of interest and talents into the Flamenco arena. A ten week introductory course will start on Monday nights. Phone 6684 6158 to book or enquire.

DANCE Workshops Plato said, ‘music and rhythm find their way into the secret places of the soul’. On October 4 and 5, the Wild Honey Festival program presents workshops from three jewels of the bellydance world and a unique opportunity to learn some soul stirring rhythms and diverse styles. The first jewel is Melusina, whose innovative and passionate style also demonstrates technical precision and musicality. The second jewel is top Israeli dancer and now Byron Shire local, Ayelet Ashkar, who will be teaching Expression through Middle Eastern Dance

with live drumming! Lastly, Jacqueline, who dances with the aptly named Wollongong troupe The Tribal Jewels, will be teaching the dynamic Gypsy Caravan format conceptualised by US dancer, Paulette Rees-Denis. See all three jewels perform, as well as Camoon and Serena Joy doing Flamenco, in the spell binding Wild Honey showcase event on Saturday October 4 at Bangalow’s A&I Hall. From 7pm, tickets $15 at the door. For workshop bookings call Belinda on 6685 1316.

Recently, Herald writer, Bernard Zuel wrote ‘There are only two great Australian soul and R&B singers: Renee Geyer and Tina Harrod.’ I asked her what it felt like, to be elevated to such a platform in Australian music. ‘It was embarassing, I mean it’s a good feeling and it’s a strange feeling at the same time. I work with a lot of good singers and it is hard to say one is the best.’ As for sharing the crown with Ms Geyer? ‘We are both coming from different angles, although we are similar in that we both love music and we both love black music!’ Worksongs is a unusual collection of tracks, that seem to sit together like old friends. At first glance, the CD sleeve reveals a Stevie Wonder track, Big Brother, Portishead’s Glory Box and Such A long Way Home, a track she co-wrote with her late partner the brilliant Jackie Orszaczky. Tina hadn’t necessarily chosen her set list. That’s not how she works. She’s much more fluid. ‘Things like that aren’t planned – I just have a sketch. What I wanted to do was take the band in the studio and record. We were developing a

really nice thing together and I wanted to go in there and record it live.’ Although Jackie didn’t play on the album, he played a big role in advising Tina about how to shape Worksongs. ‘I chose the songs based on how the performance backed up. You pick the songs and put them in a compatible order, Jack put the song list together, he was at the session and he was sitting in the control room and saying why do you want to do that again, it was perfect.’ Jackie’s energy was phenomenal and he worked till the end, it was part of the business and life of being Tina Harrod and Jackie Orszaczky. ‘He was very busy finishing off his album and he was also writing an album of brand new material which was in the can, we have a few things to finish and that will be released next May on his birthday. He was very happy working, and he once said, the greatest privilege would be to die on stage mid gig, and he meant that and that’s how he meant to go – so he’s not on my album but he’s a part of it and he’ll be a part of whatever I do.

The 2008 Practicing Artist Network Exhibition

26th September 18th October

Opening Friday 26th September (from 6.00 pm) by Jan Barham Mayor Byron Shire Council

Waywood Gallery

3 Centennial Circuit A & I Estate – Byron Bay tel 02 6685 5808

28 September 23, 2008 The Byron Shire Echo

Dave Basek opens the dance floor at Liquid every Saturday with his deep and jazzy live performance. Whether as Junkbeats, Basek, Fo-Sek or with 20for7 his involvement always means quality and subtlety. Dave Basek is on the bill for this year’s Quantum Relic in November and FreeCreation in December. Q: You have been very prolific in composing, collaborating and producing, what drives you and how long have you been making tunes for? A: ‘Some of my earliest memories involve music lessons and practice and even though as a young tacker I hated it of course now I’m thankful. My first track to get cut to vinyl was in the late 90s and then a track wasn’t a track until it was released on vinyl!’ Q; What non-electronic music do you draw inspiration from and what is it you listen to when at home? A: ‘It probably sounds a bit north coast, but I have always been inspired by sounds of nature, hydraulic machines and complete silence. Silence is probably the most confronting atmosphere to listen to especially when you have spent time in a city where the noise bed is constant. I am more inspired by live performance than studio recordings but I class

anything that requires power as electronic including rock, reggae, blues and jazz which leaves it pretty open. I find myself discovering new stuff to get excited about all the time.’ Q: Who should buy your new EP First Rain/Tokyo and where can they get it? A: ‘Of course everyone should buy it whether they like it or not! No, seriously now, both tracks are quite different, a lot of crossing over is going on between progressive, minimal and trance right now and I was feeling lots of tunes that had elements of each genre while I was working on them, so if you like any three of those genres there is a chance that you’ll like it. Of course both tracks and the remix’s are available online, and there will be a limited amount of vinyl copies available here in Australia.’ Q: How much do you sell via digital download sites and which ones are they? A; ‘Nowadays there are too many download sites to think about, but to a large degree digi stores are the new ‘labels’ being that certain portals become known for their success within niche markets (except for itunes or course).’ Q: How does a new producer get their music onto a digital download site? A: ‘Well you could do it the old fashioned way and look

for a label deal, or you could follow the trend and take a DIY approach. If you start your own label for your own music you would need to go through a label aggregator that manages a cluster of small independents through a larger download portal.’ Q: Who should consider getting their music onto digital download sites? A: ‘Anyone that wants to! More and more people are getting tunes out there independently and while some think this is the decay of music standards however I would argue that listeners are getting more discerning about what they

choose to listen to, as with www access finally they are able to listen to everything and make up their own minds. I am running a coaching course over summer for anyone interested in starting a net-label just contact the NRCAC on 6621 2266.’ Q: What would you like to see different in Byron Bay? A: ‘Well funnily enough if you’d asked me a year ago I’d have said we need a proper dance club with quality sound and wicked tunes but now we have that at Liquid, so with the beach, the view and Liquid bar, Byron is pretty much perfect, bring on summer!’

STARS

WITH LILITH AS THE SUN SASHAYS INTO LIBRA, MERCURY HITS THE LAST OF THIS YEAR’S RETROGRADES AND THOUGH YOU MAY KNOW THE DRILL BY NOW, I’LL SPELL IT OUT… FROM SEPTEMBER 24 TO OCTOBER 14 BACK UP COMPUTER FILES, DOUBLE CHECK ALL ARRANGEMENTS AND TRAVEL PLANS, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE YOUR KEYS AND DON’T TAKE RISKS… ARIES: This week’s astrally designed for making peace – for dropping differences, forgiving disappointments, making friends and amends, restoring accord where situations are out of synch. If you really want to be understood, then be understanding – the ball’s in your court.

ahead and achieving miracles. VIRGO: The only retro Mercury glitch likely for Virgos is that no matter how carefully you say something others just mightn’t get it – or vice versa. If existential irritations occur (and when don’t they), make this year’s birthday resolution to be less of a stress cadet. LIBRA: Libra Sun gives you added glow and extra energy for dealing with Mercury retrograde’s changes of heart, mind or ﬁnances – so don’t let these interfere with this week’s most enjoyable activities: reinventing the new spring version of last season’s you, writing birthday lists and masterminding appropriate celebrations. SCORPIO: Could your most important relationships conceivably, with just a touch of tweaking, be more harmonious, understanding, adventurous, humorous, sexy and consensual? With Venus in Scorpio and your planetary ruler Mars in the sign of equitable agreements, don’t miss this rare chance for doing just that… SAGITTARIUS: Though unkind astrologers describe Sagittarians as motor mouths, you can be quiet when you need to – and this week

recommends discretion with personal information where difficult relatives, colleagues or friends are concerned. This is a time when speaking your mind isn’t necessarily the wisest idea. CAPRICORN: There’s plenty of love dust in the air right now, with people playful and group activities entertaining. Enjoy what the material world’s got to offer and know that on a more serious note, this week brings a crossroads, a turning point, a personal breakthrough. AQUARIUS: When Mercury’s retrograde don’t accept guesstimates or assumptions where figures, plans and arrangements are concerned – get agreements in hard copy. And while you’re busy brainstorming business and relationship reforms know also this isn’t a time to push. Let changes unfold organically. PISCES: This week’s challenge is finding the balance – of light in the dark, blessings among the challenges, love and fun among life’s worries and troubles. And to not imagine the worst if your calls or emails aren’t returned – there’s probably a very good reason.

TAURUS: Retro Mercury bugs others but won’t bother you, slowish being your preferred speed. If you’ve been resisting a decision you know you need to make, this week gives you time to think it through. No sweat though – Jupiter, the zodiac’s sugar daddy planet’s looking after you. GEMINI: Don’t schedule too many activities this week because for sure Mercury turning retrograde’s bound to throw some plans into a holding pattern and others onto the back burner. Which gives you the opportunity to reconsider, ﬁne tune and adjust things in your favour. CANCER: If a loved one’s problems have been burdensome this week makes a welcome change from recent responsibilities, so get out and revive your aliveness in the social swim – because Jupiter’s recent shift forward in Capricorn is now having a directly beneﬁcial impact on the Crab clan. LEO: This is a majorly creative time for the Lion tribe with plenty of adventures in the pleasure zone if that’s your thing.

FRIDAY 26

THURSDAY 25

WEDNESDAY 24

1. This is James Kerley, host of Taken Out (Ten, weekdays 6pm). We recommend that you gnaw your own head off before watching a millisecond of a show so bad Channel Ten demoted it from the 7pm slot without warning. Repeats of Friends have taken its place which means that Simpsons fans must go howl in the outer darkness. 2. It’s a guilty pleasure but Scrapheap Challenge (ABC2, weekdays 6.35pm) is often entertaining as ingenious folk build improbable machines out of scrap. The host is appropriately the actor who played Kryton in Red Dwarf, and he actually looks and sounds better as a mechanoid. 3. The best musical of them all, Warner Bros’ final offering in this field, a soundtrack better than any cinema of the time could handle, can only be My Fair Lady (Prime, Sunday 1.10pm). It had better be the fully restored version.

Residents in the Northern Rivers have been set the challenge of raising money to help buy a new PET/CT Scanner, a cancer detection machine regarded as one of the best in the world. One PET/ CT machine costs around $5million dollars. Cancer specialists on the Far North Coast believe one of these machines in our region would save countless lives.

The PET/CT Scanner helps doctors more accurately diagnose and identify cancer, heart disease and brain disorders. These machines are found in most capital cities in Australia, but there are no machines in regional parts of the country. We are hoping to raise enough money to show the State and Federal Governments this region is committed to the machine and to secure fundingg support pp from them.

Regional tourism... where is the vision? The State Government continues to under-estimate the importance and value of tourism in regional New South Wales. Regional New South Wales accounts for two-thirds of the state’s holiday and leisure market but receives only a fraction of the total budget to promote itself. In August the State Government announced it would provide an additional $10.5-million in funding to regional tourism over three years. This equates to around $3.5-million a year which will be spread across regional areas of the State. While the money is certainly welcome – it is still a long way short of the $21.1million per annum recommended in the O’Neill Report on the New South Wales tourism industry. The Government’s ﬁnancial commitment to regional tourism still only represents around 14% of the total budget for a sector of the industry that accounts for 70% of holiday visitor expenditure and nights. The Government’s commitment to regional tourism is totally inadequate. Another key recommendation of the O’Neill Report was to promote regional tourism to Sydney residents. I hope the new regional tourism strategy incorporates

this recommendation. The State Government is talking up its “Brand Sydney” campaign as a way of boosting tourism. It is important to promote Sydney as the gateway to Australia, however the State Government needs to do more to encourage people to venture into regional areas. The O’Neill Report found the State Government’s underfunding of the tourism industry has cost some $3.5billion in lost revenue over the last seven years. The Report also found regional tourism has particularly suffered in recent years because of a lack of funding, despite approximately half of all visitor nights spent in New South Wales being in regional areas. Tourism is a major employer in regional areas, accounting for more than 73,000 jobs. Tourism operators in regional New South Wales are struggling and they need appropriate ongoing support from the NSW Labor Government. High petrol prices and high interest rates are having an impact on our domestic tourism industry and the State Government needs to do more to support regional tourism and the people who depend on it for a living.

Update on the Ballina & Alstonville Bypasses

Grant to tackle gambling problem

More freight on the ocean In the Ballina electorate in recent years we have talked a lot about the increase in the number of heavy vehicles using the Pacific Highway and I now think it’s time to look seriously into the feasibility of sending more freight by ship along the east coast instead of by road. An AusLink report released last year forecast a trebling of the freight load on the Sydney-Brisbane Corridor by 2029. This begs the question – how much of this forecast freight increase can be carried by rail or by sea? I recently raised the question in Parliament, asking for the sea freight option between Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane to be explored. The Pacific Ocean is already a major freight corridor for ships carrying coal and international cargo, as well as passenger liners, but it is not really used for domestic freight services in Australia. I am asking the State and Federal Governments to look closely at this transport option. Melbourne, Sydney, Newcastle and Brisbane all have good deep-sea ports and the major infrastructure and facilities are in place. I understand ocean freight would take slightly longer to reach its destination but it’s estimated that one ship could take approximately 900 semi-trailers off the Pacific Highway. That not only makes our roads safer, but there would be environmental benefits as well. There are newer, faster, smaller ships that travel at 30-35-knots which are a very enticing prospect for increasing freight by sea. New South Wales Ports Minister, Joe Tripodi, says the points are valid and the Government supports the use of sea freight for the movement of cargo. However he says how businesses decide to move their freight is a commercial decision. While that is true I think we can do more to investigate the issue and throw up some alternatives. It’s already happening in other parts of the world including the United States, Europe and India. I am not opposed to heavy vehicle freight but if predictions about our roads getting busier are correct I think the State government needs to fully explore all transport options.

There have been changes made to the plan for the Ballina bypass, including the removal of the Bruxner Highway ﬂyover bridge to allow separated turning movements for trafﬁc travelling to and from Ballina; a longer bridge over the Teven Road interchange to reduce the height of the embankment; and a move of the Cumbalum interchange to avoid soft soils which will speed up construction. According to the RTA, construction of the Ballina Bypass is due for completion by mid 2012.

Alstonville Bypass The RTA are currently ﬁnalising contract documentation. Tenders are expected to be called by the end of this year in anticipation of construction starting in the ﬁrst half of 2009. The Alstonville bypass is due for completion by the end of 2010.

World Environment Day A big thanks to all the volunteers who spend so much time working on improving the environment both in the bush and on the coast. If you have a spare moment walk up to Lennox Point and have a look at the regeneration work that has been going on there for a number of years. Students from the Lennox Head Community Pre-school and Lennox Head Public School recently spent a morning with staff from local businesses planting more than 1300 native trees.

I have asked the State Government to urgently find some money to fix structural problems at the Ballina Police Station. A recent OH&S risk assessment led to a direction from WorkCover to close the Charge room and cell complex. This means police in Ballina have to transport offenders to Lismore for processing - a round trip of more than an hour. The New South Wales Treasury has advised that funding for the rectification work will not be available until the 2010-2011 financial year. This is simply not acceptable. The Ballina Shire has a population of more than 40,000 people and the Ballina township is home to 16,300 people. I think a place of this size should have a Charge room and cell complex that meets the necessary standards. In response to my request, the Minister for Police has advised that the Ballina Police Station has been included in the proposed Cell Upgrade Program. However, he has not given an indication of the timing for the works to be completed as part of this program. I have written to him again highlighting the urgent nature of the situation and requested that he make the rectification work a priority.

Political donation reforms

Ballina Bypass

Fix the Ballina Police Station

Great news for the Buttery Inc. near Bangalow, with the State Government awarding a four-year grant totalling $960,877 to be used for counselling and related services for people with gambling problems. Gambling is a growing problem and I welcome this ﬁnancial support which, I am sure, will beneﬁt many people in our community. It is estimated that between one and three percent of the Australian population has a problem with gambling. The Buttery Inc. is an independent, community charity organisation that provides a valuable service to our region. I am pleased to see the Government re-investing some of the revenue it obtains through the gambling industry into solving some of the problems it causes.

One of the things I feel very strongly about is the need for reform in the area of political donations. At the recent Nationals State Conference I successfully moved a motion calling for more transparency in the political donation system. It was passed with support from 85% of delegates. I had moved a similar motion at a conference two years ago but it was not supported by the majority of delegates. I think though there is now a growing concern in the community about a connection between political donations and political influence particularly since the State Government’s involvement in land releases in the Hunter Valley and issues with the Wollongong Council. The motion I put forward supports the principle that only individuals who have the right to vote should have the right to influence election outcomes. Organisations that do not have the right to vote, such as corporations, unions or associations, should not be allowed to influence political outcomes through large financial donations. A recent Legislative Council Inquiry into political donations supported the general thrust of my ideas on this subject which is encouraging. However it remains to be seen whether the State Labor Government will do anything serious by way of reforming this area prior to the next State election in March 2011.

Supporting industrial hemp The New South Wales Government has passed new legislation to allow the commercial growth of industrial hemp. I supported this Bill because I think this has the potential to be a great industry for the state, including the north coast where trial crops of industrial hemp have been planted and studied in recent years. Industrial hemp contains low levels of THC so it cannot be used to provide an intoxicating effect. Industrial hemp is used to produce paper, building materials, ﬁbres and rope. I believe it will offer farmers in regional areas additional opportunities to expand their businesses. Industrial hemp is already grown in Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia and the ACT under licence or permit.

Not Enough in Budget Think green and save money for Ballina Electorate It was another disappointing State Budget for regional areas with the Iemma government once again funnelling the bulk of its funding into the metropolitan area. Regional areas like ours are in serious need of increased police resources, improved educational facilities, health and transport services. I was however pleased to see $147.1-million allocated for capital works in the Ballina electorate, which will fund a handful of local projects including: O $110-million for the Ballina Bypass jointly funded with the Federal Government O $4-million for planning the Woodburn to Ballina section of the Paciﬁc Highway upgrade O $6-million for planning the Tintenbar to Ewingsdale section of the Paciﬁc Highway upgrade O $7.7-million for the new Ewingsdale zone substation O $3.46-million allocation in this budget to complete the $7.8-million project for the Rehabilitation Unit at the Ballina District Hospital (currently under construction) O $950,000 for the acquisition of a new Byron Bay Hospital site at Ewingsdale O $1.4-million for the Byron Bay Ambulance Station with $480,000 allocated this year O Ballina TAFE will be upgraded O $27-million for the regional integrated Cancer Care unit at Lismore Base Hospital with $12.2-million allocated this year. No money was allocated for rail services on the Casino to Murwillumbah rail line which shows nothing positive will happen in this area under the current Labor Government which scrapped rail services in 2003. While I welcome money for the purchase of land for the new central hospital for the Byron Shire there was no mention of funding for the actual development.

The New South Wales Government has announced a $150-million energy efficiency package aimed at reducing greenhouse gases and helping people save money. If you would like more information about the package contact my office on 6686 7522 or email don.page@parliament.nsw.gov.au. A brochure can also be downloaded from the Department of Environment and Climate Change website (www.environment.nsw.gov.au/households/ energy.htm). The package includes: O $63-million for 220,000 low income families to receive door-to-door home energy advice and free energy savings kits including new light bulbs, water-saving showerheads, lowflow taps and draught proofing. If installed properly this should reduce the annual average power bill by approximately $95. O $15-million to begin an energy-efficiency program with on-site advice for 6,000 small and medium businesses including lighting upgrades and improvements to air conditioning and refrigeration. O $20-million to work with 800 medium to large businesses on leading-edge waste energy and water saving measures. O $20-million for extra training for skilled trades like plumbers, electricians and interior designers to deliver energy-efficient design, building and other services. O Up to $27.5-million for an Energy Efficiency Community Awareness program providing practical advice on how to save energy at home and work. This includes a legal requirement for the State’s largest 200 energy users to implement cost-effective energy savings measures.

Facts about energy use & climate change in New South Wales O O O O O

NSW households spend between $880 and $1660 each year on energy. A 20% cut in energy use through energy efﬁciency measures could save each household up to $200 a year off their current energy bills. In NSW homes the ﬁve biggest energy users are: hot water heating, heating, cooling, refrigeration, lighting. Each person in NSW generates an average of 23-tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions per year. Almost half of all greenhouse gas emissions in NSW come from electricity generation, heat production and the manufacturing and construction industries.

It’s been great to see the humpback whales on their annual migration. Being able to watch a whale breeching is one of the wonderful things about living in this area. Southern Cross University’s Whale Research Centre estimates around 10,500 humpbacks will migrate along the east coast this year. Researchers and volunteers spotted 107 humpbacks on one day during this year’s annual whale survey conducted off Cape Byron. What an incredible day that must have been! Congratulations to Southern Cross University which continues to build on its impressive reputation as an international leader in the ﬁeld of whale research.

Tips for saving money & energy Take shorter showers – no longer than ﬁve minutes and consider changing from electric hot water to solar, gas or heat pump. Don’t leave appliances on stand-by. Turn them off at the power-point. Don’t overcool or overheat. Air conditioners should be set between 18-210C in winter and 23-260C in summer. Be fridge smart – a fridge with a top star rating will save money and energy. Think twice about a second fridge. Insulate your home. Block draughts around doors and windows and take advantage of Government rebates to install ceiling insulation.

Congratulations to NRWC on another Applications open for 2009 great Byron Bay Writers Festival Churchill Fellowships My congratulations to the Northern Rivers Writers Centre on yet another fantastic Byron Bay Writers Festival. Whilst it was disappointing the program for one day had to be cancelled because of torrential rain, the remainder of the weekend was a great success. The event is one of the most successful of its type in Australia, attracting a host of authors and visitors from around the country. Some people are no doubt already looking forward to the 2009 event and planning their next visit to the region. With Moyra Burke-Smith at the launch

Payroll tax cuts still not enough I am continuing to push the State Government to do more to make businesses in New South Wales more competitive. The State Government announced payroll tax cuts in the recent budget but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe they are enough. Reducing the payroll tax rate by 2011 to 5.5% still puts New South Wales a long way short of Queenslandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current tax rate of 4.75% and Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rate of 4.95%. The Government has also announced it will be indexing the payroll tax threshold to the CPI. This raises the threshold this year to $623,000. This is still a long way short of what is needed, particularly when you compare us to Queensland where the threshold before payroll tax is payable is $1-million. I do not believe we can become competitive with other States until more is done to ease the tax burden.

Opening of Feros Village Bangalow Extensions I recently attended the opening of the Feros Village Bangalow redevelopment. It is a very impressive facility that provides resort style accommodation for the aged on the Far North Coast. The new facility has added a further 19 beds to bring the total available accommodation to 64 beds.

Ballina Surf Life Saving Club Annual Awards

Community wins battle over ripple strips I welcome the decision by the Roads and TrafďŹ c Authority to remove the ripple strips on the PaciďŹ c Highway upgrade at Ocean Shores. The RTA has announced it will remove the ripple strips by the end of the year. They will be replaced with normal line markings. This is a win for the Ocean Shores community and I am happy to have helped them achieve this outcome. Over the last year I have repeatedly raised the issue in Parliament. I have also written to the Minister for Roads to highlight the issues residents were dealing with. It is clear that using the strips in an urban area was a mistake. It will be a huge relief for the residents of Ocean Shores when they are ďŹ nally removed. The removal of the ripple strips is not the end of the story though. Sound walls are still wanted by residents, as Ocean Shores is the only residential area in Australia where a highway upgrade has not included sound walls. This experience emphasises the need to put in place noise mitigation measures at the outset whilst the project is under construction and not to put ripple strips in urban areas. It was a costly and unnecessary mistake on the part of the RTA.

I attended the annual awards night ,? ?30 ,7749, :B7492 '(! 7@- 1:= ?30 ,7749, (@=1 !410 (,A492 7@- ? was great to be part of a night that recognises the wonderful efforts of the members of the volunteer surf patrol. They do a fantastic job in keeping our beaches safe during the surďŹ ng and swimming season.

with the inhabitants of this volatile part of the world, so when we do it is difficult not to make comparisons – this falls somewhere between the more arty but less ingenuous The Kite Runner (2007) and 2003’s ferocious home-grown critique of the Son Of A Lion Taliban Osama (which is not This is a remarkable film about bin Laden). For those because it has been made hordes hyperventilating at the independently, by Australian prospect of sitting in a cinema Benjamin Gilmour, with full of like minded types little more than a camera, who believe (while living the the goodwill of the Pashtun lifestyle) that the West is evil people of Pakistan’s harsh personified and everything North Western Province, and an unwavering determination not the West the apogee of honorable tradition and to portray them as human benevolence (you know, the beings like you and me, and not barabaric terrorists. As you dimwits who authoritatively might expect from something tell you that George W. Bush so ‘hand made’ and minimally and Mohammed Atta planned 9/11 together over dinner at resourced, its weaknesses the White House), get down are also its strengths – its off your horse and drink your rough doco feel establishes milk – this is a coming of age its veritas, and it is sustained from go to whoa by those two tale, not a polemic. Niaz is an illiterate twelve year-old who classic ingredients of good story and characters you care works in his widowed father’s gun shop. Encouraged by a about. We rarely see movies that are genuinely concerned couple of educated uncles,

he wants to go to school, but Dad, who is particularly hostile to the brainwashing ways of the madrassas, will have no part of it. The clash then is between the rusted on attitudes of the old ways and, for Niaz, the liberating ones of the new. What passing political comment there is comes direct from the mouths of the participants, with whom Gilmour collaborated closely, rather than a scriptwriter. Not unexpectedly, picture quality is variable – a tad grainy here, a bit unfocused there, and the performances, because no actors are involved, are not polished – but like I said, that is a strength too. Niaz Khan Shinwari is every boy and Sher Alam Miskeen Ustad is fantastic as the stubborn father, whose silent prayer at his wife’s grave is enormously moving – Gilmour is not so rustic that he doesn’t know how to push an emotional button. ~ John Campbell

prepared when their father, exhibiting the degenerative signs of Parkinson’s Disease, loses his de facto partner and is forced to vacate the house they had been sharing in a Prozac community in sunny Arizona. Jon and Laura bring him back to the wintry East and find a nursing home for him as they come to grips with their inescapable duty of filial care. It’s an unprepossessing synopsis, but don’t be deterred by it, for writer/director Tamara Jenkins’s deft approach, with a pinch of gallows humour, avoids mawkishness but acknowledges guilt as an Last Day ever present player in such Last Day situations. Lenny, typically, does not understand at first that he is booked into accommodation from which he will not be checking out, and Philip Bosco’s portrayal of the obstreperous, bewildered and, at the last, helpless figure is all too identifiable. As the siblings, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Laura Linney have never been The Savages better (I wonder if I took to All the world’s a stage… Jon her more than I usually do Savage teaches drama in an simply because her hair was upstate New York college dark and not its usual dank while working on his thesis blonde?) and, with Bosco, concerning the place of the ensemble’s performance humour in Bertolt Brecht. His is faultless. I believed them Sister Wendy, a struggling without reservation – the playwright with a swag of awkwardness of trying to rejected applications for grants from the Guggenheim discuss with Lenny, in a crowded diner, arrangements and other arts bodies, lives for his funeral is achieved with alone with her cat Genghis unforced naturalness and and finds cold comfort in a there are moments of silence long term relationship with a married man.

Tropic Thunder Directed by Ben Stiller, Tropic Thunder fits within the realm of sophisticated Hollywood satire. In it, a desperate director named Damien Cockburn (Steve Coogan) trying to make a Vietnam war movie drops his pampered actors into the heart of the jungle. Cockburn’s stars include Stiller as an action hero, Jack Black as an insecure low-brow comedy star going

through heroin withdrawals, and Robert Downey Jr. as an Australian Oscar winner so lost in his ‘craft’ he underwent a procedure to become black for his role. You could also accuse the film of being in bad taste, but of course, bad taste is something Stiller embraces with glee. But in the end, despite its flaws, this is a genuinely funny film, and there aren’t that many of those around. ~ Lounge

The simpler recipes I found infinitely more appealing than the more long-winded complex ones whose prior preparation of pastes, sauces and stocks (all helpfully set out in the back section entitled â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Basicsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;) and too-many ingredients make them the reason I would rather dine at the restaurant than attempt them at home â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not, mind you, that Steveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s style of writing and explanation of recipes is ever less than clear and easy.

Fig Tree restaurant at Ewingsdale has been running them to great acclaim for over a year now; for quite some time David Moyle, head chef at the Beach Hotelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pacific Dining Room has been serving them up as well. Farmers Markets menus are, as the name suggests, menus determined by what is available at the weekly local farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; markets, and as such are a magnificent opportunity to eat ultra fresh produce sourced locally which, furthermore, has undergone a minimum number of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;food milesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Fig Tree offers theirs on Thursday nights, four courses for $35, whereas at the Pacific Dining Room itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $45 for four courses. A sample menu might start with Carrot & Sauternes Soup with Sheeps Milk Yoghurt and Harissa, followed by a share plate of Kingfish Pastrami with Lemon and Soft Herbs, Cabbage Salad with Mint and Salted Ricotta and Vecchiet Prosciutto, Flatbread, Basil and Olive Oil; then a choice between Crisp Snapper in Smoked Trout Broth, Angus Scott with Roasted Mushrooms or Fennel Pie with Fataya Pastry & Ricotta â&#x20AC;&#x201C; concluding with a dessert such as a Rocky Road Parfait or Chocolate and Strawberry Doughnuts. All of this in the very relaxed beachy atmosphere of the restaurant which now spills out the side so that gardenseating alfresco is another option.

A ground of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy John Campbell

I was driving south to Suffolk the other day, approaching Red Devil Park on my right. It was not yet a week since Byron Bay had snatched their unforgettable 25-24 grand final victory over the Grafton Ghosts at that unpretentious venue. I couldn’t help myself. On a primitive impulse, I steered the Commie through the open gate. Inside it was as quiet as a mouse, the only sign of life being a duck shepherding her chicks towards the water at the rear of the clubhouse. George C. Scott (delivering his finest performance) found himself in a similar space to me in that great movie ‘Patton’. In Tunisia before the allied invasion of Sicily, the US general instructs the driver of his Jeep to leave the road and directs him to the deserted ruins of Carthage. ‘The battle was here … ’ he reflects. OK, so Red Devil Park and Mullum’s Les Donnelly Field aren’t ancient Carthage, but that wonderful scene expresses perfectly the tangible way in which a site can somehow capture what is forever fleeting. An appreciation of that phenomenon is part of every

sports fan’s psyche for, deep down, we are all history junkies. We feel the weight of the passing season and, in bidding a fond farewell to each one, we are made acutely aware of the uncompromising nature of irreversible time – at my feet, the stud marks left by the three grades of toiling footballers still dotted the field, but they wouldn’t for long. We have favourite grounds because memory flowers most

vividly when prompted by association and, being so attached to those sacred places, we resent any change to them. I was outraged when the Sheridan Stand at the SCG was pulled down but, grudgingly, I am now prepared to concede that its replacement might be just as intimately regarded by later generations. And who would argue against sheltered seating and more dunnies anyway? It’s just that the newer

structures nearly always resemble those hideous multistoreyed cruise ships you see barging into Sydney Harbour with their cargo of spasticsouled inmates. Adelaide Oval is a rare example of a ground developed with sensitivity towards its own uniqueness. Nor is it just one’s personal experience that can be conjured. On a freezing Saturday in a distant May, and with everybody else focused on the FA

of the East Lismore team, the match promised to be tough, and so it proved to be. After nearly scoring, Byron was awarded a stroke as a penalty against Easts, and were unlucky not to score. An iron strong Byron defence with Valmai Porter and Judy Keenan as backs and Anna Compton as goalie, kept out the East’s attacks, while the forwards, Kelly Stewart, Kelsey Banister, Virginia Hardwick, Vanessa McNeill, Amber Russo and Cath Russo and the halves, Kylie Gibson, Sandy Banister and Danielle Pearson, dominated most of the play. Byron’s goal, scored by Vanessa McNeill, put the

team ahead in the second half, and they managed to hold on through the remaining minutes, making Byron the Major and Minor Premiers, an outstanding result for an outstanding season!. A mention must go to all players, coaches, families, supporters and the club committee for the great season, and for the continuing effort into the club. Much partying was done to celebrate the wins at The Park Hotel in Suffolk Park, Byron Bay Hockey Club’s ongoing supporters. Hopefully, we will see all our players return next season, and a few new faces to complement them!

an uprising in 1969. Srinivas Venkataraghavan was adjudged caught behind off Australia’s Alan Connolly and the mob, taking exception to the decision, set about burning the place down. I watched as a couple of skinny wallahs in lunghis and bare feet dragged the heavy roller up and down the pitch while Brahminy kites circled above, perhaps expecting them to drop dead from their exertions. But there was something else, something retained in the bricks and mortar, in the pungent air. ‘The battle was here… ’ The past is not merely another country, it is a totally different universe. Which is what melancholy Hamlet was getting at when the gravedigger dug up Yorrick’s skull – Yorrick, the jester who had borne the Prince of Denmark on his shoulders a thousand times. ‘Where are your jibes now? Your gambols? Your songs? Your flashes of merriment that were wont to set the table on a roar?’ Geez Shakespeare was good, wasn’t he? How could he have known that that would be exactly how I felt as I stood alone in the middle of Red Devil Park?

Shand social stuns before semi Brian Mollet

What a great year the Byron Bay Hockey Club has had, fielding two teams this season – the C Grade Women’s and B Grade Women’s – both teams made it to the grand finals. The C Grade team (pictured), were narrowly beaten 1-0, in their match, though they had possession most of the game. Congratulations are deserved by all involved for the great season as team has never made a final before. The B Grade Women’s team played on Thursday night before a large group of rather avid supporters, managing to come away with a 1 - 0 win. Having won the Minor Premiership two points ahead

Cup Final, I got the tube to St Johns Wood and walked from there to Lord’s to see Middlesex play the touring West Indians. When B.P. Patterson opened the bowling to M.A. Roseberry only three other blokes were there to witness it. Jamaicans, rugged up like me and trying unsuccessfully to conceal a joint the size of a Polish salami. I took in the members’ pavilion with its famous balconies, old Father Time calling stumps above the wind vane, the nets at the nursery end, and I thought of Truman and Statham, Woodfull and Ponsford, Worrell and Sobers. Didn’t matter that the place was virtually empty – in fact, it probably made the evocation of yesteryear easier. ‘The battle was here … ’ Same thing happened at Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai, or Bombay as it was still known at the time. A policeman with a Freddie Mercury moustache and a don’t-argue lathi pointed to the library and allowed me to wander at my leisure. The home ground of the little master, Sunil Gavaskar (just how many ‘little masters’ have there been in the world of sport? Sachin Tendulkar, Hanif Mohammed, Clive Churchill, Ken Rosewall etc), it was also the setting of

The social cricketing world was in a state of disbelief on Sunday as the Geckos withdrew from the first semi final of the Nick Shand Memorial series against the bush bashers of Left Bank when they were unable to field a side. Chief strategist and Gecko stalwart Simon, was said to be so inconsolable he could hardly hit the ‘send’ button on his mobile phone to confirm the late withdrawal of his team, which he has guided from winless obscurity to four time Shand champions. Stunned Left Bank players and supporters milled around Lomath Oval wondering what to do. Opinions ranged from ‘instant reprisals’ to ‘weeping quietly’, but

luckily there were enough wise heads in the crowd to settle things down. Ed the witch doctor reminded everyone how many fine human beings had been reduced to gibbering wrecks trying to get a team together. Peter Wynne Moylan added that very few are capable, as the late Nick Shand was, of embarking on an odyssey of local drinking establishments until the team list was filled. A scratch game was organized, much to the relief of those who balk at too much philosophy before lunch. The Bankers were keen as asylum seekers and Russell, Bruce, Eli and Snakebite Pete all looked as sharp as a London punk’s haircut. Jason and Cameron were nursing injuries but both will be okay

Having finished first in the round robin and boasting more talent than the Wicked Weasel catalogue the Left Bankers, scalpless scapegoats scant seasons ago,* are now firmly inscribed as favourites for the trophy.

A grand season for Byron Shire soccer finalists tions the captain of Mullum, Jacob Blackwell, hoisted the cup high, to record what was a remarkable victory. Aytan Lachish was award the player of the match award for his heroic performance in the Mullum defence.

Byron Rams

The Mullum Seahorses soccer team winner of the under 14 girls grand final

Mullum Seahorses The Mullum U14 girls Seahorses finished the season leaders in the local Far North Coast comp. They also played the first round of the State Champions of Champions competition on Sunday against West Penant Hills who were winners of the North West Womens Accocation. Mullum won the match 2-nil and goals scored were scored by Tammy Hensen and Tulla Carson. The girls all played well in the hot conditions and were well prepared for the second round against Oakes Flats who were winners of the Illawarra Zone. The girls also won the grand final in Lismore on Friday night against Alstonville 7-0. It’s the second year in a row they have got the highest point score as well as the Grand Final win. Goals scorers for the grand final were Diana Thompson who got a massive 4 and Meika Quin and Tenile Joyce.

Shores United The Ocean Shores United U12 girls soccer team ‘Redbacks’, have had a fantastic conclusion to their unbeaten 2008 season. They secured the minor premiership undefeated, amassing a total of 77 goals for, with only 2 against. There were 16 teams in the

competition from as far south as Woodburn. The Redbacks played in the grand final last Sunday against Lennox Head and had a very convincing win of 2-1, scoring the winning goals in the first half of the game and dominating possession for most of the game. Congratulations must go to the girls on their Grand Final Win, as they have shown great commitment throughout the season. The girls have put in a huge effort to get this far, struggling with the very basic training facilities at their one and only home field of New Brighton. The club hopes this outstanding result inspires other young girls in the area to take up this fun and very rewarding team sport. The girls are looking forward to training and playing matches under the new field lights proposed by Byron Shire Council, so they can start the 2009 season with a more professional approach.

Mullum Seahornets The Seahornet‘s pulled off an amazing against the odds win a on a very warm and sunny Saturday morning at Pottsville in the 10s North Soccer Grand Final on Saturday against the Eureka Dragons. Eureka who, up until this point, had been unbeaten all season, and had already beaten Mullum three times, twice in the league and once in the major semi final, were

hot favourites to repeat this form and carry off the cup. Mullumbimby obviously had other ideas. Starting with a much changed formation to try to combat the fast attacking Eureka forward line, Mullum more than held their own in a pulsating first half to enter the half time dressing room, level at nil – nil. The second half was an equally tight affair, with the action flowing from end to end, and both teams had great chances to score but were denied by the woodwork on both occasions, but with Mullum playing on the break and encouraged by a very vocal and noisy crowd, Nathan Stibbard, Mullum’s number nine, went on a mazy run, turning the Eureka defence in side out, but slotting the ball into the bottom right hand corner of the net. The chances continued to come for both sides, but as the game entered the last ten minutes, Eureka piled on the pressure and Mullum found themselves frantically defending to hold onto their advantage. Eureka pressed and pressed, but Mullum responded with two substitutions replacing a couple of forward players with defenders. Mullum held on, and as the referee blew his final whistle the Mullum team and supporters went wild! Against all odds, Mullumbimby Seahornets had won, and amid noisy celebra-

The Byron Bay Rams are winding down another year. In the senior divisions the premier reserves and 2nd division sides got through to the semi finals with the premier reserves going down 3-2 to Ballina and the second division side falling short in the preliminary final to Brunswick Valley 5-2. In the juniors we had two minor premiers in our Grade 15 Girls who went down in the grand final to Ballina in what was quite an even affair and our Grade 12 boys who will play their grand final on Saturday at Oakes Oval. Our grade 16 boys overcame Goonellabah last week 2-1 to play their way into the grand final at oakes Oval on Saturday also.

Local derby a pre-lim dream The local derby between Brunswick Valley and Byron Bay is always one of intense rivalry and usually throws up pulsating encounters. Saturday’s semifinal at Byron was no exception, especially with a grand final spot on offer for the victors. The Bay had their tails up, and with good reason – they had beaten Valley in their last meeting and had finished above them in the regular season. When they went 1- 0 after

ten minutes after some woeful defending from Valley, it seemed that things were all going to plan for Byron, but anything can happen in finals football and the Mullum side had obviously not read the script. In their hour of need Valley turned to an unlikely source for an equaliser. Central defender Justin Isaac is one of the unsung heroes at the club, going about his business in a quiet confident manner, but this was to be his day of glory. On the twenty minute mark, his 35-yard free-kick sailed into the roof of the Byron net to restore parity. Five minutes later he repeated his feat, although this time his long curling cross was glanced expertly into the net by the head of marksman Ryan Gray. Cometh the hour, cometh the man, and it was Isaac yet again who turned provider for Gray. By now the sight of him setting up the dead ball for a free kick was sending shock waves of panic through the Bay rearguard and the keeper could only parry another long range effort. Ryan Gray was in the right spot to head through the crowded box to make it 3-1 to Valley at the break. The second half started brightly for the home side. Now running with the wind they put the squeeze on Valley, with some exceptional work from Bay youngster Lachlan Ray. His pace and vision beyond his years set up a second goal for the Bay, but Valley nerves were settled on the hour when Adam Goodhand’s low skidding drive crept under the keeper and restored

the two goal cushion. The killer blow was delivered just before the final whistle, with Isaac again the head executioner. His free kick was powerfully headed in at the far post by the Cougar to send the travelling fans wild. The 5-2 final scoreline puts Valley into the Grand Final at Oakes Oval next weekend against Richmond Rovers. The dream continues.

Any thoughts about countdown time for the demise of the dairy industry on the east coast would have been blown out of the water by events at the Bangalow showground last Friday and Saturday. Dairying was shown to be alive and well when breeders of pedigreed stock from Nowra on the NSW South Coast to Gympie on the Queensland Sunshine Coast combined to stage one of Australia’s best dairy cattle shows – 250 animals making up 400 entries vying for close to $40,000 in prizemoney. Well and truly living up to its name, the Dairy Spectacular drew heaps of praise from the four judges, all with experience from officiating at leading royal and country shows. Indeed one of the judges compared the quality of the cattle presented with anything in Australia and even at some of the major overseas dairy shows. The organising committee’s bold decision to make this a stand-alone event after having been part of the Casino Primex agricultural field days for many years proved to be spot on, attracting generous sponsorship and a host of side attractions like farm animal and reptile displays, arts and crafts, a farmers market, vintage farm and dairy exhibitions. And going for Bangalow as the event’s new venue was a plus. Cattle accommodation and judging facilities were first class, thanks to cooperation from the local show society, with ample space in the main arena for trade displays

and public viewing on top of four cattle judging rings. The showground was reminiscent of a tent city for most of last week and a special dairy was built so cows – some were on the grounds for five days – could be milked out. The scene was set on the opening day when youth competed in junior cattle judging and parading, participated in industry talks and demonstrations, and scores of district school children were shown where milk comes from. An impressed chairman of Richmond Dairies, United Kingdom-based Jim Dickinson, committed his company to being a major sponsor again next year. Mr Dickinson donated a gold cup for the champion Jersey cow, owned by Adrian Barron, from Cambooya on the Queensland Darling Downs. Six breeds of dairy cattle were exhibited for the ultimate prizes of best all-breeds show animals, honours being shared by the Holstein and Jersey breeds. A Holstein cow from Kingsthorpe on the Darling Downs was crowned the supreme champion for owners Errol and Pam Crank and daughter Natalie, just pipping an Illawarra cow owned by a partnership of Alan Whatman and Keith Dorries, also from the Darling Downs. Jerseys grabbed the awards for supreme champion junior and supreme champion group of three cows, while Holsteins were on top again for the supreme champion group of five cows and supreme champion juvenile.

Says local artist Diana Burstall: ‘I’ve been writing a book about my family for the past five years, so when I heard about this Soul Doll exhibition, to be shown in the glass atrium at Federation Square from September 25 until October 12 as part of the Melbourne Fringe Festival, I thought something that reflected my head full of words would be fun and appropriate. For inspiration, I had a knee-high stack of my old manuscript printouts to pillage. ‘I wanted every bit of this life-sized doll to be made only from my story, not from newspaper or anything else, and that’s how I created her, layer upon layer of shredded and cut words, even the white bits coming from page edges. I reworked the entire detailed front three times before I was satisfied. ‘The whole process took 120 hours spread over a month. She’s called “Manuscript Mumma”.’

The wonderful SMH wordsmith Annabel Crabb notes that Kevin Rudd has ‘announced an even more ambitious gabfest: a conference of Australian mayors and shire presidents, to be held on or about November 28, at Parliament House in Canberra’. This is an historic event which may presage the abolition of state governments in about 200 years’ time, if we’re still around. Us as a species, that is, not us personally, well
