Byron takes to the catwalk
Police hunt graffiti vandals on MySpace Eve Jeffery
Local so-called graffiti ‘artists’ will soon be tagging themselves into the courtroom as police are using the internet web community MySpace as a tracking tool for vandals. The local police and business community are becoming increasingly frustrated by the need for the ongoing cleanup of wall space, and they are exploring new ways to catch tagsters. Rob Bridgland from Bridglands Retravision in Mullumbimby has spent yet another Monday morning removing graffiti from his premises. ‘We were hit again this weekend,’ said Rob on Monday morning. ‘This is another in a long string of attacks. On average we are vandalised every two weeks – this is certainly not a new problem for us and we have also had some of our delivery vehicles painted as well.’ Rob feels that a two-pronged defence will help solve this insidious problem. He would like to see more of a police presence on one side and for parents to take some responsibility on the other.
Check your dirty kids
All the hard work, late night sewing and show night nerves for the local designers in Byron Bay Fashion Week are over until next year. The runway played host to labels such as Massuri, Judy Who Designs and RaceFree Couture. Everything from daywear to the party dresses of Judy and Jaz Who, finished on Saturday night with a fun parade of naughty knickers from The Knicker Parlour. Winning designers were Georgie Evans for the People Choice Award, Georgie Evans for the Dreamworld Conservation Fund Best Eco Designer, with the 2008 Fox Creek Wines Best Designer
Award going to Galit Massuri. Event producer Glynn Anderson said, ‘The production team is taking a break, but only until the end of October when we will start a search for the model who will become “First Face� of Byron Fashion Week 2009. Thanks to everyone who purchased a ticket or made a donation, the event raised $2,000 [10% of ticket sales to tiger conservation] and we’re still counting.’ Photos Jeff ‘Supermodel’ Dawson.

‘Parents need to ask more questions of their children. When kids walk in the door with spray paint all over their hands and clothing they need to be accountable for it. And it’s not only paint, those thick black textas cause a fair bit of damage as well.’ Police are using MySpace as a way to track tagsters and are having success catching artists. They have also found that once they have caught one, they usually catch the others. Rob says that he spends a lot of money on anti-graffiti paint which is expensive and won’t go on all surfaces. ‘I’m sick of the graffiti,’ he said. ‘I’m sick of it and the police are sick of it. Something needs to be done.’

Bike enthusiasts saddle up at Bruns Story & photo Eve Jeffery
Bike Week in Brunswick Heads culminated in the inaugural Tour de Bruns, a 45 minute trip around the township, incorporating the new Brunswick bikeways. NSW Bike Week is a statewide government initiative that raises the profile of cycling as a healthy, easy, low cost and environmentally friendly alternative to driving for short trips in your local community. Participation is aimed at all members of the community, with a particular emphasis on encouraging new cyclists. Last Sunday bike enthusiasts from all over the shire celebrated NSW Bike Week, cycling their way to Brunswick Heads via several different routes. Groups of cyclists rode to Brunswick Heads from Bangalow, Byron Bay, Federal, Ocean Shores, Main Arm, Mullumbimby and Suffolk Park. The Brunswick Heads Chamber of Commerce in conjunction with the RTA, the Byron Shire Bicycle Users
Bike route designer Nick Bowden wears the brown leader’s T-shirt in the Tour de Bruns.
Group and Byron Shire Council put on a bike bash and visitors were treated to demonstrations of electric bikes, Phillip Hood’s ‘Bruns Star’ renovated bikes, a display of antique trikes and free bike health checks, which were very popular. The day also saw the launch of the new pocket brochure ‘Biking Around Brunswick’.
The fold up guide produced as part of the Brunswick ‘Simple Pleasures’ campaign provides an informative guide to riding in Byron Shire. At the end of the official launch Nick Bowden, who is the Bike Week program coordinator and who was also instrumental in the design of the bikes routes in the pocket
guide, led a group of riders along the Brunswick route in the ‘Tour de Bruns’. If you would like a copy of Biking Around Brunswick, it is available at the visitor centre in Park Street, Brunswick Heads, or visit www.brunswickheads.org.au for more information on where you can get a copy.

An elderly couple was robbed in broad daylight recently, mere metres from where they were enjoying a sunny afternoon. Patti Frazier was pottering in her backyard while hubby Brian was sitting in the kitchen when Brian heard the front door open. He sat waiting for what he thought was his mate to arrive in the kitchen doorway and when no one appeared, he thought he must have been imagining things. The couple later went to bed without turning on the lights

and were shocked when they awoke the next morning to see the looting that had taken place in their room. Someone had brazenly walked through the front door of the Frazier’s home and stolen a quantity of jewellery from Patti’s dresser. ‘I usually lock the door but sometimes you forget, especially if you are in and out to the garden or something like that,’ said Patti from her Mullumbimby home. When The Echo spoke to the Fraziers they were very distressed by the robbery. ‘I feel as if I have been attacked,’ said Patti. ‘I am very
nervous. I jump at every noise and I feel very jittery.’ The police have told the couple that there have been a few other such incidents and that the thieves are targeting older people. The most upsetting thing for Patti is that the items the thieves took cannot be replaced. ‘When my daughter was still in school she saved up all her pocket money for months to buy me a little silver ring,’ she said. ‘It is gone. I had engagement and eternity rings and another that was my mother’s and they are all gone. It is not the dollar but the sentimental

She says he is getting annoyed having to ask her to open the door all the time but she can’t help it – she doesn’t feel secure. And about her robbers? ‘If I came face to face with them I would tell them that I felt sorry for them to have to rob from people and sorry if it happens to them that they would then know how bad it feels. It feels terrible.’

Evolve festival kicks off in the Bay Mandy Nolan
This weekend marks the beginning of NSW school holidays and sees the first Evolve festival kick off at Red Devil Park in Byron Bay. Stuart Hucker is the festival director who is passionate about bringing a diverse program to a broad demographic. Like all good events, they got in with just moments to spare after some toing and froing with council over parking plans. ‘We got our DA approved on Monday,’ says Stuart, ‘it was a big relief.’ The Evolve Arts Festival has approval for 5,000 people and is cleverly using the Blues Festival’s long history at the aforementioned site as a festival footprint. ‘It’s a proven DA site – so we are utilising the same site and production crews. They all work together and know the site very well – it’s not like a new site where you have to tackle it as you go,’ says Stuart. Stuart Hucker has taken on an ambitious project with Evolve. Leaving behind the usual festival formula of booking international headline acts to bring in an out of area crowd, Hucker has programmed a more low key arts based festival. ‘I just think that there was an opportunity that there wasn’t at this point being taken, a festival that has a bit of everything. We were looking at targeting a demographic that hasn’t been targeted before – looking at 5 to 75. It is a very broad group. It’s the kind of festival parents would like
Artists John Dahlsen and Mesha Sendyk check out the latest edition of the Byron Bay Art Diary. The diary, which showcases the works of 26 Northern Rivers artists, will be officially launched with an exhibition of works from the diary on Saturday from 11am in the Epicentre Gallery at the Evolve Arts Festival. Mayor Jan Barham will attend the exhibition at 5pm and introduce the artists who will be on hand to personally sign copies of the diary and discuss their work.

to bring their kids to.’ In keeping with the MO of running a smaller event Evolve has been targeting
south east Queensland and regional NSW. The former DJ admits that this is a unique program that may take a few
years to build. But he is confident the strength and diversity of the program will satisfy the patrons at many levels. One of the biggest challenges on the day will be the Northern Rivers Symphony Orchestra. ‘I think the Symphony Orchestra will be a standout, there’s 61 all up so that is a production feat – as a producer to see all that come together and to mike up 61 instruments! They’ll have fun with that, they are one of the few acts who will be sound checking in the morning to balance up all the microphones, we have a half hour changeover when they come on, so hopefully the digital desk will cope with it!’ This is an all weather event and includes live music, arts, circus, burlesque and more. It’s an impressive lineup, so check the website for ticketing information www.evolveartsfestival.com and for the full lineup. Headlining the Evolution Stage is Tex Perkins joined by James Cruickshank. Also on the lineup is Tecoma, featured on triple J’s Home and Hosed, comedy trio Tripod, one of the most popular and prolific comedy acts working in Australia today. Across the field on the Revolution Circus Stage, festival goers will be treated to death defying stunts including the world’s highest stilts and unicycles set ablaze, extreme mini stunt bikes, flying trapeze, sword swallowing and fork snorting. Direct from Paris, Ronan creates lyrical mayhem with turntable decks and a loop pedal.
Artsfest philosophical about Council knockback Byron Shire Council planners have refused the DA for the Byron Arts and Music Festival planned for January 2009 but organisers are philosophical about the result. ‘It’s with great sadness that we are unable to hold Byron Arts and Music Festival in 2009,’ they said in a press re-
lease last week. ‘Unfortunately Byron Shire Council has some concerns about the impact of events on the town during peak times. ‘We understand this and are happy to work with Council and other community bodies to come up with a solution so we can restore this much-
loved festival to the region. ‘We know from the huge swell of support we received that many of you were looking forward to participating in the event and we can’t thank you enough. ‘Rest assured our dream for this event hasn’t died – we’re still determined to showcase
all the best creative talent that Byron has to offer. We’ll continue to work with Council to come up with a resolution and we’ll be sure to let you know the outcome.’ The festival originally ran from 1994 to 1996 and was organised by a collective of local arts and music enthusiasts.

Whales and dolphins under threat A free public talk on the threats facing the world’s whales and dolphins will be held in Byron Bay on Thursday October 2. One of Australia’s leading marine researchers, Associate Professor Peter Harrison, will present the free lecture as part of the Science Conversation Series, hosted by Southern Cross University’s School of Environmental Science and Management. Professor Harrison, the director of the SCU Whale Research Centre, said there were 14 species of whales and dolphins now listed as threatened, with one species likely to be extinct. 'There are 86 recognised species of cetaceans (whales, dolphins and porpoises) on the planet and they have major roles in marine and aquatic ecosystems. They also have immense cultural and socioeconomic values,' Professor Harrison said. 'Many of the great whales have not recovered from unregulated commercial whaling, and the killing of more than two million destabilised marine food threats facing cetaceans such as ongoing whaling, bycatch whales last century in the webs.' He said there were many in nets and other fishing Southern Ocean has probably
gear, habitat loss, population fragmentation, noise disturbance and shipping strikes, diseases, pollution and global climate change. 'These issues and their impacts on the global status of cetaceans are being examined by Southern Cross University Whale Research Centre through a range of research projects – many of which are being done in collaboration with international research and conservation groups.' The Centre conducts the annual Cape Byron Whale Research Project which involves a survey of humpback whales as they head north on their annual migration, and research on the southern migration of humpbacks is currently under way at Cape Byron. The free talk will be held at the SCU Room at the Byron Community and Cultural Centre on Thursday October 2 from 6.30pm to 7.30pm. All visitors to Byron Bay and members of the community are invited to attend. RSVP to Peter Mooney on 6685 8470 or email peter.mooney@scu.edu.au.

Never one to avoid a challenge, the ever effervescent Marie Oliver, who is the current President of Brunswick Valley U3A (University of the Third Age), led a group of 14 U3A members to enjoy an elevating experience, kayaking the 9km stretch of the Brunswick River from bridge to bridge. The trip might not seem like such a big deal until you realise that the age of paddlers ranges from near 70 to 90, with one member being quite blind and a few others who ‘check the computer daily just in case the email has arrived from St Peter advising of a vacancy’. With kayaks supplied by www.echo.net.au
their host Michael Hogg of Mother Earth Kayak Tours, the group now claim the record for the slowest trip ever along the river, completing the run in a mammoth 3.5 hours. U3Aer Richard Kidby has already taken the trip a couple of times and he loves it and a bonus for the other paddlers is that Richard has a good knowledge of the history of the river. ‘The trip is definitely one for those who appreciate the almost pristine beauty of a waterway,’ says Richard. ‘It has the remoteness of an Amazon tributary, albeit lacking the fine stands of cedars which once lined the
high banks but they are have been replaced by superb camphor laurel trees.’ Richard says that the kayakers, with hushed conversation, drifted along, excitedly pointing out a swooping osprey as it flew off with a wriggling mullet for the family meal and a black duck which showed no fear of humans, and the general silence of the waterway. The paddlers agreed it was a wonderful and peaceful way to spend a morning and Richard has a bit of advice for interested paddlers: ‘It may seem like cheating, but if you decide to do the trip, select an outgoing tide’.

Brideshead to benefit community foundation
Help save the tower of St Martin’s
Ben Whishaw, Michael Gambon and Hayley Atwell in a scene from the new film version of Brideshead Revisited.
Byron Cinemas and the Northern Rivers Community Foundation are joining forces to present the Byron premiere of Evelyn Waugh’s epic novel Brideshead Revisited on Thursday October 9. The showing is a fundraising event for the Northern Rivers Community Foundation with drinks at 6pm followed by the film at 6:45pm. Peter Thompson, well known film reviewer, will introduce the film. This provocative tale of forbidden love and loss of innocence, which was previously made into a highly successful British mini-series, stars Emma Thompson and Michael Gambon as Lord and Lady Marchmain, with Ben Wishaw as their son, the flamboyant Sebastian Flyte. The story begins in 1925 at Oxford University where Charles Ryder is befriended by Sebastian and invited to
Brideshead, the Flyte family’s magnificent ancestral home. Charles becomes infatuated with Julia, Sebastian’s beautiful sister, but in families such as these, marriages are not based on love but on class and power. The Northern Rivers Community Foundation is a philanthropic foundation working to improve community for all who live in the Northern Rivers. Funds raised are invested in perpetuity and since 2004 almost $200,000 has been distributed to local groups. The NRCF’s motto is ‘we help you help others’ and provides individuals and businesses with a tax effective way to provide ongoing support to the community. Tickets are $25 and are on sale at Byron Cinemas (6680 8555) so you can enjoy this superb film and support a great cause at the same time.

Margaret Giles points out the problem area of the bell tower. Story & photo Eve Jeffery
St Martin’s Anglican Church is a wellknown landmark in Mullumbimby. The church is used not only for worship but by the broader community for musicals, cultural and seasonal festivals. The church, which was built in 1925 as a memorial to the servicemen and women in the area who served in the first world war, is also listed in the Byron Shire Council’s Draft Heritage Study and has been classified by the National Trust of Australia. Unfortunately the bell tower which is part of the entranceway to the church is feeling all of its 83 years and is in dire need of restoration work to bring it back to ringing good health. Work on the tower will begin in the next few weeks and the estimated cost of the work is $120,000. Almost half of the funds have already been raised, but the restoration committee is
falling short of the total and is appealing to the public for donations to enable the necessary repairs to be carried out. Margaret Giles from the Bell Tower Committee says that fundraising has been under way for a while. ‘We have been working towards this for over 12 months,’ says Margaret. ‘People have been very generous with their donations but we still have a way to go. ‘We will have a concert on the last Sunday of October to make another start and David Lawson has donated a laptop computer which we are raffling. It all adds up.’ The Showcase of Youth Concert will be held at the church on October 26 and is a family event that all are invited to come along and enjoy. Anyone who would like to add to the tower restoration fund can send donations to PO Box 52, Mullumbimby 2482 or phone Margaret on 0429 333 552.

Recording cultures in transition at ACE Peter Shepherd
It goes by a few names. A growing list, in fact. Relocalisation is one, reinhabitating its deeper cousin. But theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just labels, really. You could picture it instead â&#x20AC;&#x201C; you could imagine gardens, maybe. Or people talking to their neighbours. Or people playing music. Cooking â&#x20AC;&#x201C; lots of it, with friends. Maybe thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s animated discussions. Creativity in all directions. Another of its names is Transition Culture, the one I like at the moment, capturing, as it does, the nuances of the others, while standing deeper in the political and environmental landscape. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really a bunch of small miracles recognised for what they are: a movement toward a larger miracle. Toward sustainability and community. And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already more than
a concept. The community garden in Mullumbimby is real: the dirt is being turned, plants and plans are growing. The farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; markets at New Brighton and Bruns are alive and loud. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a group called Sustainable Neighbourhoods, permaculture gardens are springing up in towns regen groups are taking over like a new botanical species themselves. Plus education, like the Sustainable Schools Project. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hopeful. Actually, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s getting on with it despite the cant of political processes and industrial stalling. Despite the Garnaut Report, and its 550 ppm carbon target, when climatologist James Hanson has calculated that the absolute upper boundary of safety is 350. The knowledge that nothing will happen with the current system, and getting on with building a new

There are over 1,300 low to moderate income renting households in the Byron Shire who are in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;housing stressâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which means they spend more than 30% of their weekly income on housing costs, likely forcing them to cut back on www.echo.net.au
food, clothing, health or other essential expenses. Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Director of Planning, Development and Environment Services, Ray Darney, said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The truth is, anyone living in Byron Shire could need affordable housing at some point, such as a young adult who wants to stay in the area, an ageing relative who needs to move closer to family, or someone going through unexpected changes due to accident, illness or divorce. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Council has been studying this problem for the last six months and has proposed a range of new and innovative strategies.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;
one. Real people standing up for a future that has children in it. ACE Byron Shire has gathered together some of the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most passionate people working in this area of future construction, of life-building. The Living and Working Sustainably program has been growing through our local community college for some term. Term four sees a radical expansion. The program now includes a tour of an intentional community, site visits to sustainable homes, biodiversity walks and talks with butterflies, lizards, birds, rivers. Discussion, workshops, from growing food and composting, to how to write with authenticity, passion and heart: a new language; an ecoliteracy. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to need a new way of talking and listening to each other as human beings, as part of nature, instead
of in abstract ideas that treat life as a subject, or a tool. And cooking. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not to forget to eat. Tastebuds love fresh local creativity. ACEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Living and Working Sustainably coordinator Katrina Shields is big on the creativity point, and being local. We live in not only a rich biodiversity hotspot, she says, but a cultural one: we are creatively diverse and passionate. We can do this. The details are in the new Term 4 ACE Byron Shire brochure in The Echo next week. It has a long-time local on the cover: a pelican â&#x20AC;&#x201C; lover of fine seafood, pole-top thinker, enjoyer of beaches and rivers. He goes by a few names, Pelecanus conspicillatus, for one. It means conspicuous. Out there. Tchngarry, is another, local and deep. And hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one more I reckon: Neighbour.
WE ARE MOVING! We are MOVING location. Our new restaurant should be complete before summer and we will be ready and waiting with open arms and ringing bells. Until then, we pizzaholics canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stand not being surrounded by pizza, so we will be operating from our Suffolk Park store (just behind the pub) 7 days a week, from 5pm with great deals to remind you that we are still alive and kicking!

Mullum High brains show their skills Axel Smythe
I’m sure we would all agree that a good education is one of the most important gifts you can give a child. While we may have many different opinions on how we define a good education, I think we would all agree that one of the fundamental principles must be teaching our children to think. With this in mind, gifted and talented students in Years 7 to 10 at Mullumbimby High School were recently given the opportunity to participate in Tournament of Minds, a national competition that challenges the thinking skills of young people. The competition is divided into four disciplines, and Mullumbimby High School entered teams in three of those disciplines at a regional level: Maths & Engineering, Social Science and Applied Technology. Competing against schools from across the northern rivers, Mullum High’s Maths & Engineering and Social Science teams both gained first place and progressed to the state final held in Sydney last weekend. A special ‘Spirit of the Tournament’ award was given to the Applied Technology team when its numbers were reduced from
seven to three due to illness. ‘Our AT entry met all the criteria to progress to the State Final but was ineligible as the rules state that there must be five members present to qualify,’ explained facilitator Irene Dawson. ‘Tournament gives students the opportunity to develop some critical skills such as the ability to work as a team, how to think outside the square and how to speak
confidently to an audience,’ said Ms Dawson. ‘At Mullum High we offer this opportunity to any interested students as well as encouraging those who show particular gifts and talents.’ Year 9 student Eleea Navarro and Year 8 student Georgia Carey described their experience at the state competition as ‘incredible and exhausting’. ‘Tournament really sharp-
ens your thinking skills and makes you think quickly,’ said Eleea. ‘We had to learn to work together with people we didn’t necessarily know before this project and we had to learn to stick at things, even when they weren’t necessarily going well, and how to work in a limited timeframe, which really helps to prepare us for life. I’d definitely do it again.’ Photo Eve Jeffery

Mac Nicolson of The Northern Horse Action Group (NHAG) and Leslie Laing of the Mullumbimby Show Jumping Committee have announced events to be held during the weekend normally set aside for the recently cancelled Mullumbimby Show. NHAG will run their annual Performance Show and Fun Gymkhana on Saturday November 8 and the Sunday will see a Two Ring Jumping Spectacular complete with sixbar and tip and out events. ‘All grades will be catered for,’ said Mrs Laing. ‘The
showjumping event will be held under EFA guidelines and plenty of prizes will be on offer.’ NHAG’s Performance Show and Funday will provide its usual abundance of prizes and fun, catering for children, amateur riders and simultaneously offering competitive flat riding for the ‘showies’ to touch up their skills before the following week’s Bangalow Show. ‘Our feature events, The Winner Take All Obstacle Course and the NHAG Trotting Horse Cup, spon-
sored by the Hotel Brunswick, are expected to once again draw up to sixty competitors each.’ said Mr. Nicolson. ‘The big favourite, however, is the spectacular costume class.’ For the NHAG Show, Mac Nicolson can be contacted on 6680 4902 and for the Showjumping call Leslie Laing on 6684 7544. Camping will be available overnight for riders who wish to compete in both shows and canteens are available on both days. Mullum’s annual agricultur-
al show was cancelled because of a lack of organisers, according to recent media reports. Mullumbimby Show Society secretary Sue Constable has been reported as saying the organising committee was still to receive any expressions of interest from potential new members wanting to take over and run the show. Anyone interested in joining the Mullumbimby Show Society can call 6684 1675. many agriculrual shows have had to reinvent themselves to cater for changing audiences.

Council works to protect species at Brunswick Heads Byron Shire Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bush Regeneration team recently began works to protect threatened species at Brunswick Heads. The team identified the endangered Spiny-leaved Gardenia (Randia moorei), only known from six sites in the Shire, while preparing a regeneration action plan for the site. The site on the lower Brunswick River, between the Pacific Highway and Sonny Cole Memorial boat ramp, features high conservation value vegetation including
endangered ecological communities, state significant wetlands and threatened species habitat. Bush Regeneration team supervisor Heidi Lunn said the values of this site have been recognised for some time, but the recent confirmation of the Spiny-leaved Gardenia really adds to the importance of regeneration works. Local residents can assist these important works by always taking building or garden waste to local waste disposal facilities and staying on access tracks.

Village People was the theme for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brunswick Heads Simple Pleasures Photography Competition, and there were over 100 entries for the event which is becoming increasingly popular. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;There were forty-five more entries in the competition this year than there were last year,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said event organiser John Humphries. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We changed the way we displayed the photos this year which made it much easier for the public to view the photos. We are very grateful to all the businesses who allowed us to install perma-
nent hangers for the pictures which we will be able to use every year.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; The competition judging was completed mid August by a panel which included Mayor Jan Barham, Roz Goodchild from Mina Mina Gallery, interior designer Dee Hockley and the Tree Faerie who is The Echoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mischievous sport photographer and meddler. Though there were many outstanding photographs entered into the competition, many were put aside, considered too far removed from the topic. Judges remained true to the Simple Pleasures â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Village Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; theme and
suggested that next year photographers would find greater success sticking to the subject. After much careful consideration the judges were unanimous in their choice: the overall winner â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Slip Slop Slapâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; entered by Rod Thom. Other winners were Rose Dadon in the open category with her portrait entitled â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Bruns Beautyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, the 13-18 years category winner was Ruby Bull Watkins with her piece â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Friendsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and in the under 12 section the winner was Jack Sinclair with â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Pressing Mattersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. The Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Choice Award went to Ella Sinclair for
â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;No food or drink allowedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. The winning photos that have made it into the 2009 Simple Pleasures calendar will be on display at the Visitor Information Centre in Park Street. The calendar, along with the Business Card Directory and the theme for the 2009 Photography Competition will be launched on October 12. For information about next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event phone John Humphries on 6685 1003, email events@brunswickheads.org.au or visit the Simple Pleasures website at www.brunswickheads.org.au.
â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Dream Teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; judges for Lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s A Pitch Northern Rivers Screenworks, our local support network for filmmakers, says it has attracted four high profile, spirited judges, on the lookout for talent and projects, for the grand finale of the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a Pitchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; competition at the Byron Bay Community Centre on November 15. Who will be the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Dickoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; or the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Danniâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; of the panel? Will it be Courtney Gibson, head of Content Creation from ABC TV, Denise Eriksen, manager of Commissioned Content from SBS TV, Paul Wiegard, managing director of Madman Entertainment/ Films or Lori Flekser, director Industry and Enterprise Development from Screen Australia? Lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a Pitch is an annual event giving hopeful producers of shorts, docos, drama, animation and new media the chance to pitch their concepts to the judges in front of an audience, and receive focused and constructive feedback.

Submissions will then be short-listed and six participants will go through to intensive pitch training before they pitch to the judges on November 15. Up for grabs is a substantial cash travel prize to attend national and international film markets plus the chance to capture the interest
of the judges. Lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s A Pitch has a history of success. The 2005 winner, Kate McQuillenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dirtgirlworld, has been commissioned for 52 episodes by the ABC, BBC and CBC and the 2006 runner-up Andy Bambach is going into production with his entry Turn Left White Man. The winner of last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pitching competition, Kamahl Druesne, went on to pitch at
the Australian International Documentary Conference in Perth, and to sign a contract with SBS for a four part documentary series, A Camel Odyssey. Kamahl spoke candidly at the Lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a Pitch launch in Bangalow recently about the experience and the steep learning curve that becoming involved in the pitching competition required. His advice? â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Listen to what people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand about your project and answer those questions in your pitch.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Kamahlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comments were followed by a presentation from Susan MacKinnon of the Documentary Australia Foundation. Susan screened the trailer for her latest project, and pointed out that pitching teaches important life skills used by everyone at some point.

was to have been an address to the United Nations on climate change with a bit of lobbying on the side on Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bid for a place on the security council. This, of course, was not good enough for the hard right, who remain sceptical of climate change and have always been contemptuous of the United Nations, although to most rational citizens it was perfectly acceptable.
tics and the rent seekers are already using the economic crisis to make a case for more watering down and further delays on any action whatsoever. Look at the mess weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in already, they say with just a touch of pride.

Rudd found himself at the heart of the greatest global economic crisis in three quarters of a centuryâ&#x20AC;Ś by Mungo MacCallum But then came the crash, and Rudd found himself at the heart of the greatest global economic crisis in three quarters of a century in much the same way as Howard found himself in Washington on 9/11. It was pure luck, but there was nowhere more important to be; it certainly beat the hell out of attending question time, even with Malcolm Turnbull as opposition leader. And yet Turnbull himself has been mightily miffed taking it almost as a personal snub, although of course his own accession was no more predictable than the financial meltdown. Rudd has been an active player in New York â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the only serious cavil is that he has been too active, claiming a role above Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s station. And he has not forgotten his original purpose, of pushing the case for more action on climate change. His intervention can scarcely have been more timely, because the scep-
Seldom has there been a greater disconnection between politics and reality. The idea, apparently, is that global warming will simply stop happening until weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ready to deal with it. Weather patterns will revert to those of a century ago. The polar ice will return, farm animals will cease to fart and the atmosphere will purge itself of methane and carbon dioxide. Nature itself will become bound to the economic cycle. Dealing with climate change has always been a hard sell and is getting harder as the time to pay the bill gets closer. The latest Lowy Institute survey suggests that support for action in Australia remains high, but not when it comes to money. More than half of us draw the line at $10 a month and nearly a quarter say nothing at all. In these circumstances any excuse for procrastination is a good one. Rudd and the scientists must and will oppose these modern
day courtiers of King Canute, but it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be easy.
A
nd a final (we hope) note on the Peter Costello front. The Sydney Daily Telegraph reports that his masterwork hit the bargain bins just three days after publication, with its cover price of $55 discounted to $44.95 at Readings in Melbourne, to $34.95 at Borders in Canberra and $32.95 at its natural home, Big W. But that was then. Now, fellow author Robert Drewe reports, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done a Lehmann Brothers: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;While off around the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bookshops at the moment, trying to flog my new book, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve discovered some cheering news. At the close of the Brisbane writersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; festival on Sunday (and seeing the big display) I asked the booksellers how many Costello memoirs theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d sold to the 20,000 people whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d passed through the festival over the week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Umm,â&#x20AC;? said the manager. â&#x20AC;&#x153;None actually.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Gleebooks, Glebe, Sydney (50 Costellos ordered, two sold), The Lane Bookshop, Claremont WA â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Julie Bishopâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ultra-Liberal seat of Curtin â&#x20AC;&#x201C; (60 ordered, three sold), Readings, Carlton, Vic (30 ordered, two sold). Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been the biggest publishing debacle of the last 30 years. Makes the sales of David Barnettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book on Howard look like Harry Potter.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; And Crikey adds that The Costello Memoirs are now available from Gleebooks for the privileged price of $12, just over a fifth of the RRP. None of this will worry Costello, of course, who has already pocketed the huge advance from his publishers. But it is very good news nonetheless. Who says Australians are not discriminating readers?

Post-election tristesse and denial of reality ■ While I am pleased (and relieved) that Jan and the Greens have swept Byron council elections (with two community independents), I am saddened by the departure of John Lazarus. In the time that I have know him, John has been a tireless and passionate campaigner for grassroots issues. These include the Beggars Banquet, the founding of the Byron Neighbourhood and Resource Centre, and Survival Day. John was also proactive in trying to resolve the drumming ban at Mullum markets. John was a hands-on councillor who was not afraid to take on vested interests (eg Becton, big festivals) and to speak for the interests of the marginalised (eg homelessness). He was a man on a mission with a vision (eg community precinct and regional art gallery near courthouse). And John was a resident of Byron Bay. With John gone, I wonder who is going to carry the flag for Byron.

opportunity to vote at Byron Council’s election because they are residents at Feros Village, Byron Bay, and the Orthodox Home at Byron Bay. When I enquired on their behalf with our Returning Officer Kerry Crawford (now based in Ballina), I was told that these two homes were not listed as ‘declared institutions’, so were not included on the Returning Officer and staff ’s rounds for pre-polling at Byron Hospital, Pinehaven at Suffolk Park, Bangalow Feros Village, Mullumbimby Hospital and Coolamon Villa at Mullumbimby. Nobody from Council, the Electoral Commission or media seems to care that many of our older residents were seriously neglected, and treated as if they don’t exist, and are not part of the Byron Shire community. All residents, up until now, have been given the opportunity to have their say at every other election, even those over 70 who may have needed assistance from family or friends to vote. These residents are now worried that they will be fined $55 each for not voting. Staff should not be responsible for organising the Returning Officer’s polling
duties. Council, the Electoral Commission or the Returning Officer should be accountable for this injustice. Don Page’s office has told me that residents or family of residents can apply to be Permanent Postal Voters for council, state and federal elections and be automatically sent out postal vote papers from the State Electoral Office for every election. Any resident and family of residents who was denied the opportunity to have their say and vote, or is disgusted with the Returning Officer’s performance, can send a complaint to the Electoral Commissioner, State Electoral Commission, PO Box 832, Sydney 2001.

(NCCAG) in its advice to its members ranked the OSF candidate last within a selection of recommended candidates. I am told that this was done in total ignorance of the fact that OSF has a comprehensive, documented policy platform which includes a position on climate change which is far stronger than most other parties or groups. Although advised of their misrepresentation, NCCAG did not have the good grace to correct this perception prior to the election. Be it after the event, I present here three specific policy statements from the OSF policy. Namely, that we support: t MFBEFSTIJQ BOE JOJUJBUJWFT that build awareness and action on the issues involved in climate change at a local, state and national level; t NJOJNJTJOH UIF OFHBUJWF impacts of climate change, especially the impacts of extreme weather events on people and communities which are less able to cope; and t $PVODJM UBLJOH BO BDUJWF role in the Cities for Climate Change Program which involves Council in reducing greenhouse gas emissions in all its activities.

They train hundreds of future airline pilots, many from overseas. They fly here because it is a CASA designated practice area, and has been since the 1980s. Since that time the area has become more and more residential which leads to the conflict. Although residents may find aircraft noise annoying, the noise levels are

OSF President ■ My initial unease arriving at
the Byron United AGM was justified when Holiday Let Supremo John Gudgeon threw me out: ‘members only’. Probably, after a quick appraisal of the non-members already in attendance, John retrieved me from the stairwell (where I was phoning the Mayor to warn of the ban) and I joined the ‘happy’ campers within. Seems I was late and the old board of management had already been reinstated, there being no new volunteers. ‘Palace coups’ were sadly off the agenda. Soon the vexed matter of the recent ‘anti-greens’ council campaign came up and it became evident that some of the membership were not entirely gruntled with the Board: Question: How much was spent? Answer: $50,000, all donated, no membership money. Q. Who donated the within the CASA guidelines. The flying schools use onehour modules, which means that they can’t fly out to Casino or Kyogle to practise. They do try to spread their sessions around the area and conduct simulated emergency landings in the Mullumbimby region as well as over Ocean Shores. Although operating over the water might seem a reasonable compromise, regulations prohibit flying beyond gliding distance from land. The win-win solution is for CASA to designate the unin-
money? A. They all wish to remain anonymous. Q. Surely the membership have a right to know who is funding campaigns on their behalf? A. No, they wish to stay anonymous and I don’t know who they were either. Q. On the questionnaire to candidates, what were your instructions to the consultants on grading ‘closed questions’ like that on holiday letting? A. Don’t recall, there were so many questions. Another interesting view emerged. It appears that the BU Board does not regard their $50,000 media expenditure to unseat the ‘majority’ council as a ‘political campaign’ but rather as an innocent information service for the voters. As such they do not feel they have to provide details to the Electoral Funding Authority (let alone their members). This is a somewhat moot point and many of their shy benefactors could well be revealed in February 09. Whatever the outcome, maintaining that BU did not run a ‘political campaign’ is up there with ‘I did not have sex with that woman’ and ‘My government will never ever introduce a GST’. Tom Tabart
Brunswick Heads habited flat areas to the east of Murwillumbah as a practice area. This would be welcomed by the flying schools who are aware of the local complaints and would like to be responsible citizens. If and when CASA takes action, air traffic over the Shire would be far less annoying. Norm Sanders

I want to extend a huge big thankyou to everyone involved in the reopening of Mullumbimby Civic Hall and the Reunion at Durrumbul. Both were absolutely wonderful. It was a great journey back in time, especially as I looked at the photo boards and John McCormick’s wonderful slideshow and realised how much I had been a part of it all. When I first arrived (on a direct flight with the family from pommy land) I was intrigued by conversations that included tales about the first Sunflower restaurant (maybe where Santos was at that time in a groovy little wooden shop in Stuart Street), life in the ‘teachers shack’ in Coopers Lane (the name sounded so romantic) and tales from everyone who had put down roots in Main Arm and Huonbrook after the Aquarius Festival.
For a long time I was a very active participant in Mullum and Durrumbul community but I felt new and hoped that one day I too would be able to become part of a history. So roll on 25 years... and history arrived before me in a glorious montage at the Civic Hall – I was there in the Non Specifics Players, had a part in The Alien Tapes, our highlight, helped to create the wonderful talent nights and once was MC with Howard Wilkinson at the first Echo Awards, not a patch on our wonderful Mandy Nolan but I had fun! Among John’s photos was a terrific one of Ken Robinson dressed as fairy, truly beautiful. Frank Mills took us back in time with the old pictures of Mullumbimby also displayed, long before our time the locals were having a ball.
What a cute little village it was over a hundred years ago and still is of course today. It is so wonderful to see the hall alive again still with the stage and Queenie, the past, present and future. What shows and memories are yet to come! Thank you to committees, architects, builders, Council and the many volunteers. Fantastic! On to Durrumbul for lunch and conversations with so many wonderful people all day and way into the night. It is always hits me as a new feeling just how beautiful the drive out to Main Arm is and just how fabulous the old and new halls have become. What a history now lives with both fabulous and painful moments in our collective history, events that have touched us all. But marriage breakups, deaths, illnesses, losses and arguments have not stopped
the show and I couldn’t help but wax lyrical as I wandered among everyone thinking how we all continue to grow and move forward and it was obvious just how much we genuinely love each other. Into the night and some great dancing! Thanks Rhonda, Rossi, Maria, Pam, Jerry de Munga, Chrissie, Maz and everyone else for having the wisdom to bring this together and a huge hug to Chris and Ian Campbell who created such divine food and of course John McCormick, my special friend who actually inspired us to come to Mullum in the very beginning, gathered us all together with such ease and clicked yet another memorable photo – maybe about 200 in the shot – angels everyone!

I have been noticing large areas of poisoned vegetation near waterways on my way into Mullum from Huonbrook. What I would like to say to all herbicide/pesticide users is to have a look at the entries into Wikipedia on the internet. There you will learn more about the product, its makers and what successive reports from various studies from around the world have found after using these products. Another suggestion, take the poison out of your garden, get involved with hand weeding and begin to see the micro life at soil level. You won’t want to douse that soil ever again as you watch natural forces doing their thing, cleaning up and regenerating soil life into a food growing bounty. Now we appear to have a greener council I hope that all who voted for this begin to think about how we do things, what products we use and who are we supporting when we do use these products. There are many organic bush regenera-

Money talks Please remind me. What is the legal fiction being used by the state Labor government to in fact allow international property developer Becton to build a suburb of more than 300 houses by the sea at the old Byron Bay Beach Resort?

Chemical shame I was cleaning out my garage and had half tins of paint and variety of chemicals that needed to be thown out.

What to do with the traffic on Granuaille Road? ■ At the heart of the Bangalow southern bypass debate is the problem of Granuaille Road which is intolerable at the moment. One speaker at the recent BCA meeting maintained that the new RTA motorway would ‘solve the problem of throughtraffic along Granuaille Road’. I contest that. Assuming that all Lismore-bound trucks do conform to our desires to go south (?), what about all those drivers who live in places between Bangalow and Lismore? They are never going to drive to Ballina then Lismore just to
get home. And Lismore-bound cars? So without any bypass there will be through-traffic. We need more information to sort this out. I’m asking Council and RTA in their preliminary investigation to monitor the percentage of cars in Granuaille Road which go to Lismore, as opposed to destinations this side of Lismore, versus those going to the main street. Similar data are needed for the main street. Ocean Shores, Brunswick, even Ewingsdale, are sitting pretty compared to Bangalow.
All three are east of the freeway; the first two benefit from sea breezes which blow the pollution ‘away’. These do not apply to Bangalow. It is surrounded by main roads to the north, east and south, and the valley walls hold in both pollution and noise. It is incredible that the RTA’s Environmental Assessment uses data from Coffs Harbour and Ballina, because no air quality measurements have been taken in the Bangalow valley!
■ I read the letters in last week’s
Echo from Elizabeth Newhouse and Jenny Coman complaining about the need for a bypass to stop the noise on their Granuaille Road properties. When I bought my farm on the Pacific Highway at Bangalow, I was fully aware that I was buying on the Pacific Highway and that there would be highway noise. It was pretty obvious, I thought. In fact, I was buying my place more cheaply because it was on the Nadine Hood highway. Bangalow Many Granuaille Road resi-
dents will remember when it was the route of the old Pacific Highway, and cars and trucks used to pass along there in their thousands every day, straining to get up the hill. I don’t know whether Elizabeth and Jenny bought their Granuaille Road properties when it was the old highway. Maybe they bought after the highway bypass was put in. But either way blind Freddy could see that Elizabeth and Jenny were always going to live on a busy through road.
At least they bought their places more cheaply! What I’m now facing is a push by some Granuaille Road residents for a bypass through my property because they no longer want traffic noise down Granuaille Road. It would wreck my farming business and severely affect the value of both my business and my farm. Can we all learn to live with the consequences of our decisions, please? Ray Hick

Vaccine problems As a physician who specialized in preventive medicine at Johns Hopkins, I believe the September 16 featured letter
on immunisation demands a reply. No case for immunisation was actually made by the letter, in fact the ineffectiveness of vaccinations was clearly illustrated. If vaccines really worked, the child would have been protected. Blaming its failure on large numbers of unvaccinated kids is not logical. In most epidemics, vaccinated people get sick about as often as unvaccinated. The letter also dismissed the connection between autism and the mercury in vaccines as the result of one poorly-done study, when in reality, the head
of the US-CDC admitted on CNN in March that vaccines can trigger autism in a vulnerable subset of children. No reliable effectiveness studies have been published on most vaccinations, and none on the safety of exposing the young, largely unformed, immune system of a baby to multiple vaccines. Big Pharma’s major cash crop of vaccines remains one of the least scientificallyvalidated embarrassments of modern medicine. See Kindred Magazine’s website for a March 05 expose of a coverup by the US
Festivals and money Peter Carrick is only half right in his response to Mac Nicolson in last week’s Echo. I’m writing as a member of the Billinudgel/Ocean Shores Rural Fire Brigade, not as the brigade’s spokesperson. Last year, Splendour approached the fire brigade with the suggestion that the brigade be present at the Yelgun site during the three days of the Splendour ‘trial’ festival. The promoters offered to donate around $20,000 to the brigade in exchange. Some members liked this idea; others were against it. After considerable discussion, the majority voted to accept the offer, which for technical reasons wasn’t taken up at the time. Although this sounds like a lot of money, it should be considered only a modest offer, given the cost that would be involved in the event of an actual fire on the site, which is right next to the Billinudel Nature Reserve. If a fire were to break out on the Yelgun site, every community-funded truck in the area would be sent to the scene, and helicopters would probably also be called in as they were the last time there was a fire out there – actions that would cost the community hundreds of thousands of dollars. Although donations are always appreciated by rural fire brigades, this offer should be seen for what it is: a cheap way of assuring the community that fire protection has been taken care of. ■

Yelgun ■ As the coordinator of Splendour in the Grass’s Community Grants Program, I would like to respond to the letter from Mac Nicolson (Echo, September 16). In yet another sampling of the ‘always look on the dark side’ mentality of a no-holdsbarred gaggle of grinches who will say anything to cast Splendour in the Grass in a bad light, Mac Nicolson takes the festival organisers to task for donating $28,000 to the Byron Bay Hospital Auxiliary. I won’t dignify Mr Nicolson’s
www.echo.net.au
comments by responding in any way other than to say that the hospital auxiliary was thrilled with the amount donated and Splendour was happy to be able to give something back to a hospital that serves both the community and visitors so well. In the same letter, Mr Nicolson also questioned the cost to the community of police at the festival. Well, rest easy, because they’re there on a user pays basis. That is, Splendour pays for their presence at the event. Mr Nicolson also reported that Splendour had donated $20,000 to the ‘Yelgun Bush Fire Brigade’. Another correspondent has since pointed out that there is no such fire brigade, but, as a lot of the baloney Mac Nicolson and others have repeated time and time again seems to be accepted by a somewhat gullible and undiscerning audience, maybe we should take this imaginary $20,000 donation as a ‘Mac fact’ we can live with. Darcy Condon
Village Sounds/Splendour In The Grass The dilemma set by large scale festivals is all too apparent in recent letters. One of the things that always make people inclined to favour these is the seemingly wonderful donations that are made to hard working community groups which are really stretched to the wire. Certainly they can use the money, but it is honey money, a sweetener to make the impact on infrastructure, amenity, sewerage, and added expenditure out of our rates seem OK.
■
EXTENSION
It is a promoter’s way of saying we give back to the community, and in certain ways they do, but remember it’s only what they want to give and not what they should give. Plus in some cases these groups should be employed by big consortiums/promoters, but because they’ve been given a donation, they lose out on their proper employment and remuneration. And to the lady who said we call them Mega Festivals, you’re right, we do, as they are. That many people in one place are Mega, again the plight of all this is the size and where it is suitable and sustainable to hold these events. Remembering that promoters have to increase their profit margin each year, owing to the increase in charges from performers, lighting, sound, etc, etc. They won’t increase the price of the tickets too much but they will increase something to make up the difference, which will probably be the amount of people. Firstly we are not against festivals but we are against where they are situated, and surrounding a wildlife corridor is not the correct place. Council purchased land on Ewingsdale Road opposite the Island Quarry for a cultural centre and sporting fields. Owned and controlled by Council and with money being put back into Council’s bank for the above mentioned infrastructure etc. Then the moneys given to the wonderfully hard working groups will be rewarded.

Musician at the end of the universe Hans Lovejoy
I know why I play music. It’s because when it’s all said and done, when I breathe my last breath on the planet, I will reflect that living a creative and an artistic life will have been far more satisfying than any other. Everyone knows it’s a hard road for the humble performer and artist, and it’s not just talent that lifts you above the chaff; it’s also business acumen. Over the years, I have seen amazing musicians struggle to make a living or quit to get a ‘real job’. Often I have pondered what was required to last the distance and even make music a viable enterprise. Being an entrepreneur is an unlikely quality for a musician to have, and bargaining or spruiking what you regard is your art can feel like compromise. In the end there is no right or wrong – it’s just a game, and I think that’s what a lot of musicians fail to realise. There were times in Melbourne when I would negotiate the price for my band, and the venue manager would say, ‘But you love music, why
don’t you want to play for $80?’ Not taking it personally is the key. ‘I’d love to play for your venue, however for that money all I could offer is some mowing and perhaps a spot of gardening.’ The best musician I know is 70 years old. He continues to improve with age and has a
long and distinguished career which encompasses backing famous artists, sessions, reading, free improvisation and composition. There’s clarity and a twinkle in his eye which is the envy of anyone seeking to live a full and satisfied life. Music, when executed properly, can keep you young and
sharp. It is humble, provides joy, asks nothing and provides immense joy and satisfaction. More importantly, it is a common language that connects musicians together and musicians to an audience. I play in a 18 piece big band that rehearses weekly and performs rarely. The repertoire is
Prosthesis rebate welcomed mainly swing and Latin standards (Basie, Ellington etc), so subsequently we are not particularly suited for venues in this area. At a recent gig at Nimbin Town Hall, we discussed the direction we are heading in. What made me realise the true value of art and music is that everyone, after two years, was still keen to rehearse and play for free. There is strong solidarity – players travel as far afield as the Gold Coast and Kyogle – and the music is well arranged and sounds great. In the light of hard economic rationalism, and with the knowledge that the human species works at odds with the planet, I thought we’d rename the band ‘The Big Band at the End of the Universe’ or ‘The Titanic Big Band.’ If the ship is going down, I would rather be in blissful harmonic and spiritual contentment than running around the deck panicking. For the record, the Titanic’s band leader Wallace Hartley’s body was recovered from the icy Atlantic two weeks after the sinking with his music box still strapped to his body.
Breast Cancer Network Australia (BCNA) has welcomed the government’s recent announcement that the Medicare system will reimburse women for new and replacement breast prostheses. ‘There has been a lot of inequality across Australia and it is wonderful that we are finally going to see all women being able to access the same financial support for prostheses,’ BCNA Policy Manager Michelle Marven said. The system will come into effect in December this year, although women will be able to claim the reimbursement for purchases made from July 1, 2008. Barb Pinter, volunteer facilitator of the local Byron Bay Breast Cancer Support Group and BCNA advocate, said that with one in eight women in our community diagnosed with breast cancer and the financial strain that places on people, the move to reimburse people up to $400 was a very positive step. The Byron Bay Breast Cancer Support Group meets on the third Wednesday of each month. To find out more phone Barb 6680 8893.

Snakes with secrets bewitch beachcombers
Story & photo Mary Gardner
We walk the beach into the strong wind, not seeing much for being sandblasted. I glance toward the dune, where some driftwood sways. Approaching the sculpture, we see it become two large pythons, entwined. We stop short. They take no notice of us, but we are enthralled. ‘They’re males fighting,’ whispers my friend. He’s been in Australia for 35 years but he’s not seen this before. ‘Could they be a pair mating?’ I wonder. Having lived the past 20 years in New Zealand, a land without snakes, my knowledge of them is textbook. Until now. ‘I heard they fight for territory.’ ‘Maybe they are courting, dancing together,’ I joke. These are mature snakes, each well over three metres long. As the snakes rise, they seem buffeted by the wind. But they could be swaying together. Or are they worn out by the effort of raising their upper bodies? Aren’t they also pushing against each other as they twist together? How long had they been there like this? How did they come together, out in the open? How old are they? How to measure the strength of their actions? How to tell of their meaning? I have seen pictures of entwined snakes since I was a kid. One image is thousands of years old: the caduceus, the staff of the ancient Greek god Hermes, known by Romans as Mercury. The story is that he came upon two snakes in combat and made peace by separating them with his staff. According to Livy, Roman caduceators were diplomats protected by the sign they carried of two snakes around a staff. As pythons, these animals are members of one of the oldest branches of the snake family. As the fossils of snakes www.echo.net.au
are rare (the frail bones do not preserve well) ancient information is patchy. But the first snake fossils date from 130 millions years ago. Their skulls are like those of the lizard group Diapsids, which is the same type as both dinosaurs and birds. The last round in the ongoing debate as to whether snakes are lizards coming from the sea or up from burrows is on the side of land origins. We can’t clearly see the tail end of the snakes. From the distance, I take some photos. Perhaps the zoom on the camera can focus on the details. There should be some small paired clawlike spurs which stick out, the last remnant of legs. These are attached to the snake skeleton at its pelvic girdle (hips). These spurs are near the cloaca. For both sexes, this opening is multi functional, usually voiding both urine and faeces. The male has a pair of hemipene (a forked penis) which he extrudes from his cloaca and uses to spill sperm into the female’s. Her cloaca will later excrete fertilised eggs. The twisting of myths and anatomy. It’s all I have with which to surmise. ‘Likely there is too much body movement going on for this to be a mating event,’ I concede. My friend has the camera now and walks in a wide arc upwind of the pair, still writhing and twisting. Again and again they raise their upper bodies in the air and then drop them. He comes slightly closer to the snakes than I am. At this moment, a large sea eagle slowly flies fairly low over the two snakes. I think the snakes pause. They seem aware of what is happening on the sand and in the air. Or maybe this is the moment they tire. Or maybe one or the other has made a point. But they begin to disengage. First one and then the other stretches away
over the sand dune, disappearing into the low vegetation. I shiver. It’s not only the wind. The energetic snakes have my blood racing. They are not often seen but there is a lot of talk about them. What is true? In classic Greek temples of Aesculapius, the demi-god healer, a certain snake was said to be trained to lick the wounds of the sick. To promote healing, non venomous species were supposedly released to live on the floors of medieval hospitals. Some snakes drink milk from the udders of cows. Others put their tails in their mouths and, forming a hoop, roll down hills. Some are said to charm their prey with unblinking stares. Others have poisonous breath and can kill a grown man from several metres away. We laugh reading all that because we believe differently now. Science proves them to be superstitions. But once, they were The Facts. Our knowledge is part experience and part heritage. For all we use our heritage, we must watch out. Facts of science change. The fact was once that some birds slept the winter out in underwater caves or mud pools. Maggots appeared spontaneously. There was a hierarchy of human races, societies and of the sexes too. Only later were birds understood by science to migrate. Or eggs necessary to give rise to every life form, without exception. And human diversity to exist in many egalitarian ways. Oh, I could make up a story about how big these snakes were and what they were doing. But the best thing is to find out more. A current technique is to gently force feed wild snakes with small specialist radio transmitters and monitor them. Yet even as we look at their tracks in the sand, the wind blows it all away.

Malcolm Huxter is a clinical psychologist with North Coast Area Health Service. He also works part time in private practice. He is a keynote speaker at this year’s Mental Health Week’s Acceptance Day at Peace Pole Park at Main Beach in Byron Bay on Wednesday October 8. Mal’s history as a Buddhist Monk now informs his practice as a psychologist and the basic principles underpin the Mindfulness Program he conducts for stress, anxiety and depression. Malcolm became a Buddhist monk in Thailand after he was an art student. ‘I met up with a Buddhist monk here and was inspired by what he was doing and went to Thailand and ended up in a monastery – the King’s monastery in the middle of Bangkok – and was ordained there. You have to adhere to particular precepts as a Buddhist monk. I initially ordained as a novice for a year and then as a Bhikkhu, which is a fully ordained monk.’ Becoming a monk was the foundation for Malcolm’s spiritual path. ‘It was kind of like stepping back in time, to 2,600 years ago and getting a connection with the power of the Buddha

– connecting with the stuff that he was talking about.’ Now, no longer a monk, Malcolm is guided by the Buddhist framework which is reflected in the structure of Mindfulness, an eight week course he runs through public mental health and in private practice. ‘The basic framework is governed by the four noble truths. The first is the acknowledgement that there is difficulty and anguish, that there is suffering – basically that shit happens! The second is that there is a psychological cause for this – root causes that lie in the mind. According to Buddhist framework, we get caught up in patterns of avoidance and we misapprehend the way things are, we take things to be ourselves that are not necessarily ourselves – for example we believe our thoughts and emotions to be who we are, but in fact it’s just changing phenomena. ‘The third truth is there is possibility for freedom, in Buddhism that’s called Nirvana. At a very relative level it means it’s possible to be free from the patterns of behaviour that cause anguish and suffering. The way to be free involves basically understanding – having a complete understanding of things. It’s about having the right view, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right energy, right mindfulness, right concentration – when I say “right” it’s more like the sense of things being complete and just right for that particular individual.’ For Malcolm, the term mental illness is uncomfortable as he feels it doesn’t reflect the constantly changing nature of the human psyche. ‘When I see groups I have a sense we are all bozos on the same bus, we are all in it together, everyone has some sort of anguish they are dealing with. I like to talk more
about mental or emotional imbalance so what I am looking for in Mindfulness, is emotional balance. ‘Mindfulness is a mix of things – it’s based on the Buddhist eightfold path but it also incorporates different clinical approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Cognitive Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction. The way I see it, these new developments, the
but know will result in pain and harm.’ So what actually happens in a Mindfulness course? ‘We start teaching people how to practise Mindfulness from the outset. We teach the basics of both insight and serenity meditations. We give the participants meditation CDs that they can take home and practise. There are handouts and workbooks and then in the group sessions we begin by doing some grounding exercise like Chi Gong or Yoga or Tai Chi, something gentle with movement and it be-
‘Part of the process is to share my own wisdom and get wisdom from everyone in the group. It’s an honour to hear the wisdom other people have and their own understanding on how they can get through. We address that which causes suffering and that which gives freedom from suffering.’ third wave of therapies, are incorporating mindfulness which has been around for a long time. ‘Part of the process is to share my own wisdom and get wisdom from everyone in the group. It’s an honour to hear the wisdom other people have and their own understanding on how they can get through. I don’t get up there and teach a moral stance. I am not proselytising. We address that which causes suffering and that which gives freedom from suffering.’ Understanding the role of learned wisdom is key in the Mindfulness course. Malcolm refers to a quote he uses from a Buddhist monk called Thanissaro Bhikkhu: ‘The Buddha had a simple test for measuring wisdom. You’re wise, he said, to the extent that you can get yourself to do the things you don’t like doing but know will result in happiness, and to refrain from things you like doing
comes a mindfulness exercise. They are great for cultivating calm and insight. ‘Then we’ll have a discussion about a theme, like depression and anxiety – how to move out of it or how to be free with it, learning to embrace it, learning to understand how a lot of these patterns are cyclic and how to short circuit these destructive cycles. Mindfulness and the wisdom that it cultivates is a way to short circuit destructive patterns. ‘There is a lot of empirical evidence supporting these approaches – it works, it’s actually very basic stuff.’ ■ Information and help is available on the Mental Health Access Line (1300 369 968) as well as through private psychologists and other mental health practitioners via GPs.

There’s a great buzz going on at the top of Massinger Street – quality coffee, farmers market produce, local organic bread from Jordan’s in Mullum, and a great old school surf theme that is in keeping with the true spirit of Byron Bay’s heritage. Andy and Jeremy Gordon have renovated and now run one of the town’s iconic landmarks: The Top Shop corner store. Long time locals would remember the name which has stayed the same for, what Andy says, is around ninety years. ‘It’s a heritage building,’ Andy told The Echo, ‘and I’d say one of the few in this town with the original name.’ For over ninety years it has served as a corner store for
the community, claims Andy. ‘It used to have a petrol pump and sold fishing gear. The response to the new look has been fantastic; people have been bringing in photos of the place from years back – recently an 80 year old woman came in and said she used to buy milk and lollies here when she was a child!’ Andy is no stranger to the town – his last job was managing the successful Succulent Café. ‘I’ve lived on Massinger Street for 12 years and when I saw this place I could see the potential for it catering for everyone, especially the locals.’ Andy points to other businesses that maintain a uniqueness and draw both locals and tourists in. ‘Harvest in Newrybar, Ate
in Bangalow and the like all provide a point of difference that makes a place like Byron special.’ Renovations and additions include a pinball and arcade machine. ‘We want to provide a relaxed community and family atmosphere. Soon we’ll be selling surfing accessories such as wax and sunscreen, and from daylight saving we will be open Thursday through to Saturday from 6.30am to 9pm.’ All the great towns and suburbs have corner stores. Milk, bread, the Sunday paper and the chance meeting of neighbours and friends – It’s often the lifeblood of a community. Congratulations to Andy and Jeremy for creating a thriving funky corner store in our neighbourhood!

For every girl there’s a time in her life when she’s had the classic phrase yelled at her: ‘show us ya tits.’ Creator of Busting Out, the smash hit new Aussie show, Emma Powell has made her fortune by doing just that. Originally D Cuppertry Dance of the D Cups in 2006 at the Melbourne Comedy festival, the show has been renamed and got bigger, rounder and bolder. Busting out is, pardon the pun, a knock out. So why a boob show? ‘I have always done cabaret and I always wanted to do one around boobs. People say write what you know! Boobs have always been a thing for me – I was teased at school, I was an early bloomer. The furtherest memory is a little boy saying Emma’s put her boobies in the pencil sharperner! Men have ogled them and now they have to pay!’ The show came into being with a nude run down the hallway. ‘I had a thing called the sound of one tit clapping – when I was running to get the phone once and I could feel my tit slapping against the other one.’ Like it’s male counterpart, Puppetry of the Penis, Busting Out has tit tricks. I’ve had a preview of the doughnut and the vagina impression was so lifelike I blushed. Emma Powell is joined by standup comedian Bev Killick and together the girls have been creating a hit show that saw their Brisbane season extended by four months. the Daily Telegraph raved ‘Tasteful, clever, liberating and laugh

out loud.’ Busting Out has all the hallmarks of being a huge hit. Tits could be the Cats of the new millenium. ‘I am hoping we can create a hit on our home soil. Puppetry didn’t take off here until it hit the West End. We are endeavouring to hit here and then be asked to take it overseas.’ So how would you describe Busting Out? ‘I would say it’s a difficult one to define, it’s a theatrical production, tit bits, tit skits and tit tricks, so unlike puppetry where it’s two guys with two microphones, we do it more in cabaret style. We have a lactation expert etc and the format changes all the time, we have a screen, audience participation – I think you could say it tackles a whole new format, a reviewer at the Manly Daily said it feels like circus, standup and cabaret at the same time.’ Before creating Busting Out! Emma was well known for her roles in hit musicals such as Mamma Mia!, Fiddler on the Roof and Les Misérables. Busting Out! audiences will get to hear her fabulous voice when she performs a series of comic show-stopping numbers cleverly exposing all that is good and outrageous about breasts. Bev Killick is a highly soughtafter Melbourne comedian and actor who brings her exceptional comic (and EE) talents to Busting Out! An accomplished performer on both stage and television Bev’s career ranges from her one woman show to appearances in Kath and Kim and the TV show of Beauty and the Beast.

Impermanence, Panic and the Penis At eight years old my small mind grappled with the Buddhist concept of impermanence. Of course I wasn’t aware of the philosophical ramifications at the time. They only became apparent with adult contemplation and reflection as the memory jigsaw fell into place and I was able to recollect the emotional development of my child’s mind. I was not a funny child in the haha sense. I was more funny cuckoo. I was afflicted with a profound seriousness and a very early learning that life, people and happiness were as unreliable and disappointing as my mother’s cooking. Between the ages of six and eight I lost my father in a car accident and my mother joined a loopy Christian tongue singing hands-on healing bearded acousticguitar-strumming smock wearing freak show that made my previous life with a violent alcoholic parent feel like a fairytale. I developed a bizarre obsession with the fragile appearance of my brother’s penis. It’s not what you think. This isn’t a banjo moment. No, it was much more Lorena Bobbit. I became panicked by the prospect of penis detachment. I imagined in my freaky little head all manner of vivid castration scenarios. This small protuberance of flesh
seemed so vulnerable – I couldn’t imagine how he would survive childhood with his member intact. I imagined him outside in the sandpit enjoying nappyfree time when suddenly a magpie swoops down, mistaking his manhood for a worm and takes it to her nest to feed her hungry young. I imagined him getting it caught in the wheel of his bike, of squashing it with a drawer, or a run-in with a rogue zipper, a fatal door slam, an unexpected genital fire. Freud would have had a field day. I could have assisted him in the development of penis envy, to create a more accurate extension of the neurosis: penis worry. Christ, I didn’t want a penis. I couldn’t imagine the terror of living with something that could be so easily removed. I spent a year not socialising with friends. I told them I couldn’t go to their party or playdate because I was busy at home. It wasn’t a lie. I was busy at home. Guarding my brother’s penis. I never told anyone. How do you explain something as insane as that? Of course I grew out of it. By last year, I was finally over it. And to this day his penis is intact. Thanks to me. But do you think I’ve ever had a word of thanks. No. Now I have penis resentment.
From midday to midnight at Red Devil Park in Byron on Saturday, the place will be bursting at the seams with performances and visual works to dazzle the eye, stir the senses, mystify the mind, flick the funny bone and tease the taste buds as every shape and form of the arts imaginable will be on colourful display with a little bit of everything to cater for all ages and tastes.

Tecoma, featured on triple J’s Home and Hosed, plus comedy trio Tripod, one of the most popular and prolific comedy acts working in Australia, today will also be gracing the stage. Joining them will be the ARIA Award nominee Joseph Tawadros who, often seen playing alongside singer Lior, is set to wow the crowd with his unique approach to oud playing, as well as electric violinist, Xani Kolac from The Twoks. Emily Burke, (Opera QLD) and, never before seen in the Bay, a 61-piece orchestra will also be attending the festival!

They received rave reviews and left the 10,000 strong crowds at WOMAD wondering what had hit them! Loosely translated, ‘batucada’ means percussive samba jam, which aptly summarises BSM’s musical roots. BSM began in 2003 when five passionate drummers met once a month in the dimly lit lounge bar of Galatos nightclub in Auckland to experiment fusing batucada with more local beats and influences. Before long, a talented group of diverse musicians had joined in and the band had grown to 13 members. Batucada Sound Machine has since evolved into an infectious mix of driving Brazilian rhythms, funk-style guitar licks and dub horns. Monday at the Hotel Great Northern.

Feeling Grate The Grates are Bris-Vegas favourites. The band has been in high demand after their stellar performance at Splendour in the Grass, and tickets to their shows across the nation are selling like proverbial hotcakes! Time Out Mag in Brisbane said of their new album: ‘Conventional wisdom dictates The Grates had two choices with their second album: either they could create another perky collection of upbeat, playful tracks or they could react against Gravity Won’t Get You High and do something angsty and pained. Or, they could do both at once, and in so doing create an album that’s at once both a continuation and a development of the band’s sound.’ Hotel Great Northern on Sunday.

WEDDING PARTIES ANYTHING Dedicated to random reporting and reckless interviewing I thought Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d poke my nose into the workings of wedding DJs. DJs Del Larkin and Pip are two of a small bunch in this area. Pip, aka Gopher Gold, is one of the two instigators of Solid Gold and it was where he got approached to play at a wedding for the first time, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;a couple getting married came and wanted retro classics at their wedding.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Del began his musical career in the early 90s as the MC for seminal Aussie funk rock soul band Skunkhour. He started DJ-ing around the time he left the band in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;96. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m more of an old school selector style of DJ, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll beat mix and drop in and out here and there, but I like to try and move through very different genres in the one set. Del held residencies at Buddha Bar, La La Land, The Beach Hotel and guest djs as Leo Slayer at Solid Gold. He started playing weddings for friends and family but playing in swish bars and restaurants got him exposure to couples soon to be married. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I resisted at first and played only my style of music then I relaxed and realized that one manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cheese is another drunken ladyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best song ever!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Q: What was your funniest experience at a wedding? DelLarkin: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The first thing that comes to mind was at a wedding recently where the father of the bride started his speech by saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m Bob, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m Leanneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dadâ&#x20AC;Ś I sâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;pose.â&#x20AC;? Nice, thanks dad.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Pip: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to choose the
www.echo.net.au
funniest when I have seen uncles dropping their pants, the bridal waltz as a hip hop medley and the best man expressing his speech in interpretive dance.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Q: Which songs are most popular? Pip:â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Etta James â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;At Lastâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, Loveshack and Dancing Queen. The best of the worst for me was â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Touch of Paradiseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; by John Farnham as a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;bride and dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; waltz. You have to laugh though (or youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d cry). Keeping humour in the music is very important. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face it weddings are very funny occasions.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Del Larkin: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Jack Johnson for the waltz, Rihanna for
Byron Cinemasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Reel Mums will be treated to a brand new film this Thursday atbout a gorgeous English titled beauty, adored by the entire country but haunted by the fact that the only man in England seemingly not in love with her was her own husband. Georgiana Spencer, sharing her surname with another iconic Spencer called Diana, also believed there were three people in her marriage. Georgiana, the beautiful Duchess of Devonshire, was the original obnoxious drunk young women.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Pip says, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The rural wedding is my favourite. One got rained out. It was really formal and all the guests ended up with mud all over them. The bride had mud all up her back. They went off on the dance floor! Country people know how to have a good time.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; And when it comes to spotting the most outrageous wedding dress Del Larkin says of himself, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a guy guy, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remember the dressesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Pip remembers. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The bride arrived in an 8m long black stretch limo. She had a backless corset dress with a massive tattoo of a butterfly across her back. She was pretty outrageous and gorgeous.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Q: Worst nightmare when playing at a wedding? Del Larkin: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Couples who micro manage everything and have strict (and exhaustive!) orders on what to play or not to play. It never works, because the day is not really about them, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about family, friends and community celebrating in recognition of your union, and 99% of times I know whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to make most of them dance.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Pip: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;When the bride and groom request songs their guests hate. As the DJ you cop all the grief.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; The bride wants â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Rage Against the Machineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and the brideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dad wants â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Credence Clearwater Revivalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;! Weddings can be a tough gig. Great weddings are when generations of a family come together on the dance floor.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Q: And which would be their personal favorite wedding track? Del Larkin: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;It changes all the time, I love dropping â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Always look on the bright side of lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; at the end of the night for a laugh.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Pip: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Al Greenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Get Married.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;
â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;it girlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. She could out-gamble, out-drink and outwit most of the aristocratic men who surrounded her. But even as her popularity grew, her marriage was in trouble. And when she fell in love with an ambitious young politician, the resulting affair caused a bitter conflict with her husband which would leave all of London talking. The Duchess, starring Kiera Knightley and Ralph Fiennes, will be screened for Reel Mums (and Dads) on Thursday at 10am.

Eagle Eye A rabble of young Einsteins filled the back row and, with mandatory sloth, hoiked their feet over the seats of the row in front. ‘Is that dude from Transformers in this?’ ‘Yair.’ ‘Fuck, I hate that dude.’ The dude in question is the ridiculously named Shia LaBeouf, and I’m not crazy about him either, he being an actor of impregnable conceit who goes into overdrive at any story’s first hint of a crisis. In this case it is the mother of all crises, with the infrastructure and executive body of the USA imperilled. Jerry Shaw (LaBeouf), a clerk in a photocopy shop, starts receiving unsolicited calls that are nothing like the ones from Bangalore that we are
pestered by. The voice of a woman who always knows where he is and what he’s doing, tells him to jump out of buildings, run red lights and commit an armed robbery, all of which he does with not too many extras being killed. Accompanying him is Rachel (Michelle Monaghan), a single Mom with a freckle faced kid – she’s been getting similar calls. Together they are drawn into a Byzantine conspiracy that milks our justifiable paranoia about the omnipotence, secrecy and skulduggery of government agencies. Billy Bob Thornton, hopelessly cast as a hard nosed FBI hombre, gets caught up in the action when the car he is sharing with Shia is pursued into a tunnel by a guided stealth missile thingy. If you guessed that that would lead to an almighty prang involving a dozen other gleaming vehicles – you’d be dead right. Shia emerges from the mangled wreckage unscathed but for a cute little

scratch on his forehead (he’s one tough dude, I’ll give him that), but poor old Billy Bob is not so kindly treated by the scriptwriters. More telling, however, than any nondisfiguring injury he may have suffered is the bewildered look on his face, suggesting that it has at last dawned on him that he is in the wrong movie. The production values are beyond reproach, and the point, sombrely spelt out for the mouth breathers up the back, that the steps taken to safeguard our freedoms might contrarily turn out to threaten them, is a valid one. But it loses the plot halfway through and never recovers from the frenetic shambles. Redemption may have come with its unforeseen and entirely satisfying climax – but it was an anti-climax, the true one being as on the nose as last year’s gorgonzola. ~ John Campbell
torpedo, emerges to collect data. WALL-E falls for her and, as part of his courting, shows her some favourite pieces from the objets trouvés he has collected. Among them is a cigarette lighter. Eve strikes it – WALL- E has never done this – and the flame is reflected in his big lens eyes. It is a beautifully poignant moment, providing a connection with the soul of the little robot. That’s when I thought of the Infanta. When Eve is called back to the space ship, taking with her a seedling that indicates Earth is habitable, WALL- E is forlorn at the prospect of her departure. All of this happens without dialogue, the visual narrative being augmented by sound effects and music - Louis Armstrong singing La Vie en Rose is just too good. WALL-E stows away and the couple arrive at the vast space station where the humans are celebrating the sevenWALL- E hundredth anniversary of their Out of the blue, I recalled five-year mission. Obese and gazing at one of Velazquez’s hovering on mobile recliners, exquisite paintings of the they have transparent Infanta Margarita… WALL- E is computer screens floating a small, rusty robot whose job in front of them and they all is to clean up the unliveable wear red jumpsuits – until mess left by humans, who an Orwellian announcement have fled the planet.

utterly delicious that I was sticking my finger into the cellophane bags and just licking up generous amounts as if they were packets of peanuts. This little business is barely off the ground and yet it has already earned its creator two bronze medals from the Royal Sydney Show in the regional food category, one for the Red blend and one for the Yellow. Its official launch was held recently, at â&#x20AC;&#x201C; appropriately â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Fresca restaurant in Bangalow. Head chefs Kathy and Patrick Hobbs designed an impressive four-course meal as the showcase, sending out dukkah grissini to dip into pipettes of green pea and lemon myrtle aioli; moist spicy kangaroo bresaola alongside baby beets, creamy corianderinfused goats cheese and a sensational beetroot â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;boudinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;; slow-braised blue-eye with a glorious sweet potato, spinach and lentil stew; and the finale of kaffir lime â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and ginger-poached pear with fingerlime parfait and crostoli. Apart from, in my uncouth way, eating the blends straight out of their sexy little tins I have also managed to be patient enough to use them in cooking. Ignoring the advice on the Red tin that it be used with red meat, I added a generous scatter to a spicy tomato sauce in which prawns were simmering before swirling through spaghettoni; I served that pasta dish with a salad of rocket, roasted diced sweet potato and Persian fetta which I dressed with a handful of the very lemony Green blend. The result was fantastic â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and I owed it to Australian Bush Spices. They are a truly splendid solution to livening up meat, fish, poultry or vegetables, endowing extra dimensions of gourmet glamour. For more information go to www.australianbushspices.com.au

Scott Foster has always loved flavours, especially the aromatic flavours of spices. His first discovery of Australian bush spices occurred in the nineties at a time when he was running a restaurant on the road to Tuggeranong in the ACT, called Rose Cottage. The owner of Robinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bush Foods turned up with samples of individual spices like bush tomato and lemon myrtle: to Scott it was a revelation. I first met Scott some years ago when he was front-of-house at Fresca, the restaurant attached to the Bangalow Hotel. Immensely affable, he was one of those waiters who made you so warmly welcome â&#x20AC;&#x201C; like part of the family, almost â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that it was disappointing to turn up one evening and learn that he was no longer around. His wife was about to give twins and he was stepping back. Stepping back for Scott actually involved coming up with a business idea which would enable him to spend time with his family â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and thus was born Australian Bush Spices. The intention was to stay as local as possible in every facet of the business, to not only source the spices and herbs from this fertile region but also the design of the packaging, the creation of his website as well as the wording on it and the devising of the recipes utilising the spices. The result is a triumph. For now there are six spice combinations in the series, cellophanecontained then packed into the cutest, smartest little metal tins called, respectively, Red, Green, Yellow, Orange, Blue and White. The tins list the various ingredients but they do more than that: they offer suggestions as to their uses as well as to compatible wines â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and so, for example, the Blue blend is recommended for sprinkling over oilbrushed fish before cooking and devouring with a glass of Australian riesling, whereas the Green blend could be scattered over a salad and accompanied by a Pinot Noir. There are seeds and nuts as well as spices and herbs in these mixes, so you will find pecans and macadamias, wattle seed and sesame seeds, fingerlime and mountain pepperberry, lemon myrtle and lemongrass, kaffir lime and ginger. They each have their own complex and distinctive flavours and in fact I found them, upon introduction, so

Lady golfers in exciting finish
Shand cricket series all boils down to an Armers v Bakers final Brian Mollet
Players from forty golf clubs from as far north as Brisbane and South East Queensland, through the Northern Rivers, to the Newcastle area in the south, all made their way to Ocean Shores last week to celebrate the 10th birthday of the Ocean Shores Ladies Amateur Challenge. Lady golfers from all age groups and holding handicaps from 0 to 36 played in the very gusty windy weather and quick greens that the Challenge and the Ocean Shores course are becoming known for. Equal leaders after the 1st round were Bree Arthur from
Brookwater who was playing on a 0 handicap and EIlesha Michael from Emerald Lakes who was playing with a 2 handicap. Both found themselves at the end of the first day with a 1 over par round of 73. After the first 9 holes of the 2nd round, Bree had taken a swift 4 shot lead but EIlesha not to be ousted so easily, clawed her way back, birdieing the last 2 holes to tie with Bree finishing the second round with 75 each. With the sun getting ready to set the girls played into the failing light and travelled
down the 1st sudden death hole in an exciting playoff that saw Bree Arthur win her first Ocean Shores Ladies Amateur Challenge. From all reports, ladies in all the divisions had a great two days of competitive golf and enjoyed the event immensely. Winners in the other divisions were: Division 2; L McGowran, Division 3; J Jenson and Division 4; A Tonkin. All of the Ocean Shores players enjoyed the benefit that local knowledge of the course gave in the tough conditions.
Philosophers and historians have often marveled at what a man will sacrifice for a moment’s glory. In the Nick Shand Memorial Series it is no different, as families, relationships, businesses, muscle and bone are all offered up on the altar of one more win. Snakebite Pete has already cashed in his spleen, and Ed the witch doctor sold his soul long ago to gain his mysterious powers. On Sunday at Lomath Oval the Byron Full-Tossers and Main Arm met for the right to play the bush bashers of Left Bank in the grand final. Greg of Main Arm won the toss and asked the Byron boys to bat despite the growing heat. This decision raised a few eyebrows in his team, which consists entirely of captains and reaches decisions by a form of argumentative consensus. Very cunningly he reasoned that the Tossers have looked good in the field in every game but were yet to prove themselves with the bat. Scotty set about proving the theory wrong as he spanked it round with impunity, like a formula one administrator on his day off. Baz has inherited the role

of opening bowler due to attrition caused by geriatric decline within the team. Once again he proved that good things are worth waiting for as he nabbed two wickets in his second over. Scotty showed that he has worked out what it takes to succeed at Shand cricket as he reeled in the big hits and held steady as the situation demanded. The Main Arm spinners were on early and Bourkey had deliveries leaping off the mat like stage-diving punks. At the other end Mick Lonsdale (3-6), an unsubtle fellow outside cricket, tweaked the ball with the finesse of a Swiss artificer. Ash dug in like a swamp mosquito through thick denim as Scotty compiled his 30, and then took on the lead role, but he was running out of partners and time. Darcy, Eden and Kyle kept things tighter than a credit squeeze in the USA. In the end Ash fell for 24 when he had no answer to another Bruce enigma. Scotty (33no) returned to the crease but was left stranded as Brian, anxious to prove he is as big a spinner as the rest of them, took the last scalp with the score on 98. Lons and Bourkey opened up for Main Arm and inched
along like mortgagees, cribbing their way to 15. The Tossers then grabbed a double breakthrough as Lons fell to Ash and Baz was run out trying for a second run, another victim of the deceptively lush outfield at Lomath Oval. Kyle joined Bourkey and at last chunks came off the score like sharks at a whale carcass. Bourkey once again proved that the best cure for a hangover is a stay at the crease; he stormed to 30 and then went home to lie in a darkened room with a damp cloth over his head. This pretty much won the game for Main Arm, but the Byron Full-Tossers fought the match out to the last ball and there were moments of doubt about the result as Bruce and Darcy staggered towards the asking score. For such an eclectic bunch the Tossers work well together, not many cricket teams can bowl a Christian at one end, and an Ali at the other. Darcy shrugged off the shackles to crack 12 off the 28th over and close out the win for Main Arm. Next week’s long weekend means the final will be staged the following Sunday when the dogged Armers take on the Left Bankers for the right for one brief dance with lady victory.

Fourth Try a winner for Bruns Soccer season winds up Byron Bay 12s Rams
Competitors brave the early morning waters on the second leg of the swim and head up stream in the fouth annual Tryathlon. Photo Tree Faerie
The fourth annual Brunswick Surf Life Saving Club Tryathlon was held in perfect conditions last Sunday. Entry numbers were up on last year by 25% and over 100 competitors swam, cycled and ran through the streets of Brunswick Heads. Organisers were extremely happy with the whole event and were particularly appreciative of all the volunteers who turned up on the day making it a smooth-running and successful triathlon. Teams figured heavily in this year’s entries with 23 age, social, family and club groups competing mostly completing a leg each as only two teams had two members. Competitors were especially happy about the new cycle leg that this year that was a one lap
circuit as opposed to the previous 3 years which demanded that riders complete several laps of the same circuit. Bruns Valley rescue were on hand again to direct traffic and keep everyone safe and the local police also cycled through the morning. Line honours for the event went to Hayden Wilkinson who won first place for his under 18 mens team which included swimmer Adam McNamara, cyclist Brendan Cole and Hayden who completed the event in the run. The overall winner for the event was Dwain Fitzsimmons who ran in the 18-35 mens division and finished the course in 33 minutes. The winner in the women’s section and under 18s was Bridget Barnes. Other individual win-
ners were in the under 18 boys; Greg Hall, women 1835; Claire Ward, 36-49 men; Geoff Collier, 36-49 women; Deb Fuller and in the 50+ age group the winners were Mr McDonald and Molly. The event was a great tryout for teams with Lachlan, Barry and Jo Stewart winning the family section and the open male winning team of Micahel Schwager, Brad Acton and Tom Anderson. The winner of the female event was the two women team of Jeda Greenlaw and Belinda Smith and the mixed team prize went to Margo Sanyer, Dick Warren and Shaunnagh Cassidy. The SLSC now feel that they have a handle on the event and are looking forward to a bigger and better event next year.
Local chess players clean up in Ballina
Byron Bay’s 12s Rams put on yet another superb team effort in an emphatic 3-0 win over the Alstonville Bombers to be crowned Major Champions at Oakes Oval last Saturday. Leading 2-0 at half time, the result was sealed with a 3rd goal in the second half. Undefeated all season, the team had already secured the Minor Premiership leading by 12 points over their nearest opponent and they had dominated the competition by amassing 128 goals for and only 2 against them. Their coach, Jim Gelagotis, an ex-professional player for Netherland’s club Ajax Amsterdam, has provided the highest standard of training and match coaching, unprecedented at junior club level. Such is the skill and ability in this team, that 11 of the 15 players have played for the Queensland State Youth League, the FFNC Development Squad and represented their respective schools at the PSSA Football State Championships. The Rams 16s also won their Grand Final match against in a nail biting 1-0 game against the Italo Stars.
Brunswick Valley The Brunswick Valley team came agonisingly close to being Second Division champions at Oakes Oval on Friday night, but just missed out to Richmond Rovers after a dramatic penalty shoot out. Valley were dominant in the opening exchanges, moving the ball forward with purpose and looking extremely dangerous. The large and vocal travelling support were rewarded for their journey when Dean Treveton was put clear after some great build up on the twenty minute mark. Treveton thrives on this type of opportunity and smashed the ball across the
advancing keeper into the net. It looked like Valley would go further ahead just before the interval, but a low hard drive from Ryan Gray was well saved by the keeper. The boys kept up the intensity in the second half and continued to play inventive and exciting football, with Rovers attacks limited to the long ball over the top. Aaron Heyning and man of the match Dougall Forrest were the standouts as the visitors poured forward. The sustained pressure paid off when Valley were awarded a penalty after the Rovers keeper had charged Gray from behind. Leon Maclean took responsibility from the spot and coolly slotted home to make it 2 - 0. With the match almost won it started to go wrong for Valley on the hour when Rovers pulled one back. Set-piece specialist Justin Isaac came close to re-asserting the ascendancy minutes later, but his free kick sailed just inches over. A late Rovers equaliser set the pulses racing and in a dramatic finale, Valley were awarded a penalty in the last thirty seconds. Ryan Gray was thwarted again as the keeper saved his spot kick to send the match into extra time. More drama was to come in overtime as continual Valley pressure led to yet another dot shot. This time it was Leon Maclean who stepped up and had to endure the agony of seeing his shot fly wide. Despite having many chances to win the match, it came down to a penalty shoot out and Rovers had the edge in this department, taking out the title at the last gasp. The Mullum side were valiant in defeat and look forward to next year. Congratulations to inspirational player-coach Mitya Vibert-Gigue on guiding his side to a Grand final appearance in his first season in charge.

culture out of an emissions scheme could cost farmers using environmentally friendly methods of production. The BFA says better carbon soil sequestration by landowners who utilise biological systems, minus emissions-intensive farm chemicals, should be accounted for. Their comments are particularly relevant as more farmers are getting interested in organic farming because of the high cost of fertiliser.

Peggy Balfour says, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I recently saw a video clip of the Earthbox [www.earthbox. com] on an Austar channel and its applications in African countries and did some search about it on the net. Apparently the UN is promoting it in countries with exhausted soils and water shortage. I think it
is all very well for media to go orgasmic about advances in electronic and space technology but the simple Earthbox system of growing food in abundance, saving water, fertiliser, no run-off of nitrogens and phosphates to pollute waterways etc will be far more beneficial for humanity than multifunctional mobile phones, for instance. It took me about one hour to make an earthbox from a discarded polystyrene broccoli box.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013;
