Harleys roar into Lennox Head

Car pooling project for Byron Shire A new Byron Shire based project to assist young people to get to their employment or training through a car pooling club has won funding from the NSW government.

In April this year a funding application to the NSW Ministry of Transport (MoT) was developed

by Rita Youssef-Price, youth development worker with Byron Shire Council in consultation with Julie Williams, manager of Mullumbimby and District Neighbourhood Centre.

In July 2008, Mullumbimby and District Neighbourhood Centre received a funding grant of $20,000 from the NSW Ministry of Transport (MoT) to set up the Shire Car Pool Project.

This new project will specifically target young people living in Byron Shire who require affordable, safe and flexible transport in order to attend employment and training opportunities. Other people experiencing transport disadvantage will also be able to access the service.

Without a cloud to be seen in a clear blue sky, the thunder still rolled into town last Friday when over 2,000 members of HOG (Harley Owners Group) converged on Lennox Head for the 18th Annual Australia National Rally. HOG enthusiasts from Australia and all over the world came together to celebrate an important Harley-Davidson anniversary.

Not only is it the 18th Australian HOG rally but it is also the 25th year of HOG internationally.

Mike Davis from Main Arm is this year’s rally coordinator. He is a member of the northern NSW chapter of HOG which is the second oldest chapter in Australia.

‘This event contributes to the local community and its economy,’ Mike said from the rally base at Lake Ainsworth. He expected a good turnout for the Thunder Run from Ballina to Suffolk and back to Lennox via Bangalow.

And he got it. The run, the highlight of any HOG rally, left Ballina at 9.30 on Sunday morning and the stream of Harleys took 20 minutes to pass any given location.

The three day event saw more leather than you could shake a Shovelhead at and the perfect weather made for happy HOGsters. Activities included in the rally weekend were HarleyDavidson 2009 new model demonstrations, the Show and Shine competition in Ballina on Saturday and

‘Stud Your Duds’, a Harley-Davidson clothing makeover.

As to the bad boy image of bikers, Mike said that the stereotype is a bit outdated. ‘We’re mostly riders of a certain age. I’m 58. We’re family people. We ride safely and stay alive.

It’s good healthy fun.

‘Anyone who owns a Harley is eligible to join HOG and their partner becomes an associate member,’ Mike said. ‘I’m a retired high school teacher myself. I joined when I bought my first Harley 11 years ago. Harley riders are the people next door. Women are very welcome to join. We have many women riders in HOG.’ The only cloud on an otherwise pristine weekend was the theft of bikes from the rally. Thieves stole

seven Harleys on Friday night in a well-planned heist.

‘They know what they are after,’ said Mike on Saturday. ‘Harleys are a valuable item and these days are covered in very expensive “bling”.

These thieves are highly organised and sophisticated but some of the bikes had GPS and we were able to retrieve all seven. Police found the truck but the culprits got away.’

This reporter’s indelible memory from the rally was the vision of a 6 foot biker in full leather, bandanna and handlebar mo, walking along Pacific Parade delicately holding onto the hand of his missus. Nice.

For more info about the Australian HOG club phone 1800 464 258 or visit www.hog.com.

The Car Pool Project is currently developing a website with a moderated online bulletin board to provide a user friendly interface that is password restricted to members.

Car Pool club members will be able to post their own messages to seek lifts or to connect with passengers to share car use. Membership requirements of the Car Pool will involve proof of identity, a small membership fee and agreement about the use of the service. Organisers hope to have the Car Pool website and bulletin board operating before the start of the 2009 academic year.

‘The Shire Car Pool Project will be developed over an 18 month period to provide a transport option where previously there was none,’ said Julie Williams, ‘making trips affordable for passengers, reducing the fuel cost continued on page 2

Work has commenced on reconstruction of a Clarkes Beach cottage within Cape Byron Headland Reserve with completion expected by later this year.

The previous cottage, originally built on a miner’s lease associated with nearby sandmining is one of four such cottages along Clarkes Beach.

The location, setting and simplistic construction of these beach cottages is a reminder of the working class history of Byron Bay. The cottage was built in the 1930s and occupied until the 1990s. It was in disrepair and vacant until 2007 when it was demolished.

The heritage values of the cottage are being maintained in the construction of the new cottage and it is located within the previous cottage area. Bush regeneration and plantings commenced in 2007 and are ongoing to ensure the coastal plant communities are also restored in this area.

The cottage is being constructed and furnished in the 1950s heritage theme including design elements from the original cottage to maintain the historical beach cottage feel, something that has been lost in most coastal locations.

When completed it will be available for visitor accommodation similar to the other popular Clarkes Beach cottages, said Yvonne Stewart, Cape Byron Trust Chairperson.

The Lighthouse Keeper’s cottages have also been recently renovated to maintain and protect its 1901 heritage values. It is planned by end of October to redecorate the internal furnishings to a 1930s style.

Artisans market goes undercover

San Franciscan Kristi Dowler, right, thought Rebecca Rali’s knickers were a crack-up. Rebecca’s stall, The Knicker Bar, was one of more than a dozen which launched the Byron Artisans Market in Railway Park last Saturday night. The weekly market is raising funds for Byron Youth Service’s Street Cruise program. See more at www.bys.org.au. Photo Jeff ‘Y Front Up?’ Dawson.

Trucks will take highway: survey A survey by the Bangalow 2020 group contends that several local trucking companies plan to take the T2E tunnel through St Helena Hill once the Tintenbar to Ewingsdale highway upgrade opens to traffic, which ‘comes as good news to residents on Bangalow’s noise-affected Granuaille Road’.

Wants Transport is a Lismore-based company, and its trucks have travelled the Lismore Bangalow Road for the past 16 years. ‘We understand the need for a better solution,’ owner operator Matthew Want said. ‘The Lismore Bangalow Road is the only viable alternative we have at the moment when travelling north from Lismore. ‘This road can be treacherous at times, with heavy fog and traffic. ‘It has limited overtaking opportunities, which at times

Serving Byron since 1995

causes car drivers to take risks overtaking when travelling behind a slower moving car or heavy vehicle. ‘Wants Transport would definitely consider using an alternative in the form of the Bruxner Highway and Alstonville Bypass. We’d also like to see southbound traffic funnelled around Lismore to minimise congestion along Ballina Street.’ According to Rod Carter from Flynn Transport of Lismore, ‘We won’t be using the Lismore Bangalow Road when the highway upgrade opens to traffic. We plan to use the Alstonville Bypass and the Bruxner Highway as it’s a far safer route. ‘The Lismore Bangalow Road is used by a large num-

ber of commuters and school buses, and if more vehicles use this road it would make it even more dangerous.’ Paul Dossett is another local owner operator, having run his trucks out of Woodburn since 1985. He agrees safety is a concern. ‘When travelling between Lismore and Brisbane, I always use the Bruxner Highway to Ballina and then take the Pacific Highway to Brisbane. Although it’s currently a bit further to travel, it’s a far safer route. ‘The road through Bexhill and Clunes is very narrow and in a very poor condition. ‘When the Ballina and Alstonville bypasses are completed, this will be an easier route to take, as well as being safer.’

potential Car Pool users as well as interested community groups and educational institutions.

‘The Evolve festival has hit the right note for Byron,’ said Cr Barham in a press release.

‘The one day festival was a cultural success with a diversity of performances and a community and family friendly atmosphere.

‘The organisers are to be congratulated for their efforts to create a broad and interesting program that presented so many of the region’s creative talents as well as top acts from Sydney and Melbourne.

Byron Bay resident fined over pool fence breach A Byron Bay resident was convicted recently in the Byron Bay local court for failing to maintain a backyard swimming pool fence in accordance with the Swimming Pool Act 1992. The resident was convicted and fined $700.

In addition, professional costs of $1,000 and court costs of $73 were awarded.

Byron Shire Council’s Director of Planning, Development and Environment Services, Ray Darney, said Council officers had attempted to negotiate with the pool owner but Council was unable to get the owner to meet the necessary pool fence safety standard and had to issue a penalty notice. The pool owner elected to contest the penalty in the local court.

‘The decision handed down by the magistrate is a stern reminder of the duty of care we all

have to protect children in our communities,’ Mr Darney said.

‘A pool fence that is well maintained provides a permanent barrier, preventing children accessing backyard pools.’

Council’s Manager of Regulatory Services, Wayne Bertram, said Council supports and encourages voluntary compliance and education over enforcement wherever possible. ‘With the warmer weather upon us and children now on school holidays it is extremely important that pool owners check and ensure that their pool fences and gates meet the standards and are kept in good working order,’ Mr Bertram said.

Preliminary figures from 2008 show that drowning deaths for the 0-4 age group appear to have almost doubled from 2007 figures and have already exceeded the highest

recorded rate in five years.

Keep Watch is a public education program of the Royal Life Saving Society Australia, aimed at preventing drowning deaths of children in all aquatic locations. There are four main strategies of the Keep Watch program that parents and carers of children are encouraged to undertake to pre-

vent children from drowning: supervise your child; provide barriers to water locations; familiarise your child with water; and learn resuscitation.

The website www.keepwatch.com.au provides a range of information on how you can help prevent your child, or children in your care, from drowning.

Family business celebrates 100th Story & photo Lou Beaumont

Mullumbimby firm Bridglands is celebrating 100 years in business next week.

In 1908, at a time when motor vehicles were still a bit of a novelty on the roads, Dudley Bridgland joined his family business at the tender age of 16. Interruptions as big as enlistment in the First World War were not enough to discourage young Dudley from his pursuit within the business and shortly after his discharge he bought the business from his mother, got to work and began trading as ‘G D Bridgland – The Home Furnisher’.

As an enterprise, Bridglands is unique in the valley in that its ownership and management has remained within the family for over 100 years. The third generation of Bridgland to be running the family business, Rob Bridgland, is feeling proud and privileged to be a part of the centennial celebrations.

‘My grandfather Dudley was the real mover and shaker of the family. He got things started at a young age and then really kept things moving forward.’

Within the last two years, Rob has lost both his father, Bill Bridgland, who passed away two years ago, and his uncle, Craig Bridgland, who

died this year, so the centenary is a time for reflection as well as celebration.

‘I have only been here 17 years, which is such a small part of 100 years. It’s a bit sad that a few key family members are not around to see in the 100th year.

‘So much of our success as a business today is due to the

foresight of previous generations to secure real estate.’

At 44, Rob Bridgland still loves his job and isn’t going anywhere. That devotion to the job is what he says is part key to success.

‘In retail you have to have love for it. Our staff tend to be longterm staff members as they love what they do.

‘Same goes for my three children, I would never want to put pressure on them to join the family business unless it was something they really wanted to do.’

Bridglands will be celebrating its 100th year next week with instore giveaways and events. See next week’s big Echo feature for more details.

A meeting to discuss National Organics Week (NOW) was held in Byron Bay recently with the Deputy Chairman of the Organic Federation of Australia, Eric Love. A member of the NSW Ministerial Advisory Council for Organic Agriculture, Mr Love met with other north coast members, Cath Ford and Jan Barham and ex member, Richard Jones, NSW Parliament MLC Ian Cohen and TROPPO representative Dave Forrest.

The inaugural NOW (National Organics Week) will be held from October 11 to 19. The meeting discussed the opportunities that NOW creates to inform the community about the value and availability of organic food products.

A website has been created at www.organicweek.net.au.

Mayor Jan Barham has been in discussion with local Farmers Market organisers to plan local activities for NOW. ‘Byron Shire Farmers Markets will also join in on the NOW events and will be focusing community attention on the variety of organic food that is available at the markets and the opportunity that exists to meet the growers and discuss with them their commitment to organic agriculture,’ Mayor Barham said.

‘I look forward to the opportunity to raise the profile and interest in organic food and will be seeking support from

local cafés and restaurants to provide at least one organic menu item for the week and give customers the opportunity to buy an organic meal.’

Byron Shire Council is getting behind Organics Week as part of its commitment to supporting sustainable agriculture in Byron Shire with a number of free community events.

Council’s Sustainability Officer will be coordinating free composting demonstrations at both New Brighton Farmers and Byron Bay Markets over the week to show people how to fertilise their garden and improve soil condition using organic methods.

A free community film night and presentations on organics and community food systems will also be held from 6pm on Tuesday October 14 in the Council Chambers, Mullumbimby. The evening will commence with the short film Think Global, Eat Local: A Diet For A Sustainable Society by Seed International.

Following the film, a series of inspiring presentations from local farmers and sustainability experts working in the industry will provide hands-on examples of sustainable, organic food systems as an approach to achieving economic outcomes and community wellbeing.

In 2008 there was over 2,180 hectares of land certified as organic in Byron Shire.

What does it mean to be a 21st century man? Roles which were once less questioned and more defined could give men a sense of placement, purpose and belonging, however these days man’s function in society requires more examination.

With the alarming rates of suicide being predominately male – four out of every five – men’s incapability to sort through or face emotional and spiritual issues can directly impact on their families, friends and work colleagues.

Adrian Hanks and John Russell have facilitated men’s groups for over 20 years and will be bringing their expertise to the Shire on Saturday October 18 at the Serene Earth Sanctuary in Myocum.

‘One Man Can is about coming out of pain and isolation in a safe environment – men can open up and speak about past and current issues,’ convenor Adrian told The Echo.

‘In the workshop we use art, movement, sound and processes to explore what is holding us back from being better, more alive, more active and more positively focused men. It’s about re-igniting a passion for life, relationships and work.’

Apart from addressing vocational, relationship, spiritual, emotional and fatherhood issues, the seminar will also provide a ‘toolkit’ – a resource

that can be taken away from the day.

‘The toolkit provides the information that empowers and educates. For example how to develop healthier relationships and better communicate with those around you. Standing up for your principles and being active in the community are also essential in developing a sense of purpose and worth.’

Having the courage to look inward is essential, Adrian says. ‘In regards to your partner or spouse, what kind of relationship do you want?

‘What’s going to make you and your partner happy in the long term? How will you both make that possible? Think about what you need to do to change your own attitudes and actions to have a healthy relationship, and consider which friends and family members can support you to achieve these goals.’

The minimum age for the seminar is 18, and all ages and demographics have attended in the past, according to Adrian. ‘We work in pairs, and as numbers are limited, we can focus more attention onto every individual.’

The One Man Can workshop will be held at Serene Earth Sanctuary in Myocum on Saturday October 18. Cost is $110 (concession available) and space is limited.

Mural art a win for youth

A local artist, a Billinudgel businessman and a 16-yearold Byron Bay teenager, heading more than a dozen local boys aged between 13 and 22, have collaborated to transform a monolithic grey concrete wall into a dynamic, colourful and vibrant art work in the Billinudgel industrial estate.

The energy and calibre of these youngsters during the holidays is outstanding and the project has attracted much positive comment from locals.

each day – more credit to the lads involved. The owner of the building, local businessman Ted Kabbout, gave permission for the project, supported the artists all the way and was extremely happy with the outcome.

‘There is a huge difference between kids using their energy for something constructive like this, rather than the senseless destruction we’ve seen all over the area,’ Ted said.

‘I’ve been very impressed to see that with a little bit of support a bunch of teenagers could organise the project

and complete the art in such a positive way.’

Ted said that as with all pieces of art some will love it and others will disapprove.

‘But at the end of the day, regardless of the art piece, it’s about the benefits to the youth which I think are priceless.

‘The best way for the youth to learn about respect is for adults to show them respect and when you see what these young guys have done in a few days, from the planning right through to the end product, it’s very impressive and satisfying.’

Cyclone photos wanted

Artist supports her community

A small but committed group have recently revived the Byron Bay Historical Society.

The society’s initial project, researching the sinking of the US munitions ship, the Tassie 111, off the old Byron Bay jetty in WWII, has been successfully completed and a booklet is on display at the Lighthouse museum.

The next research project is on the massive 1954 cyclone and members have devised a questionnaire to ask older long-time members of the community, who lived through the cyclone, for their recollections.

Photos wanted The society will be presenting a display of this material in a room in one of the Lighthouse cottages in November. Unfortunately, current society members have access to very few historical photos of early Byron Bay and therefore are appealing to members of the community who may have such photos, that they would be happy to make available, to contact the Society so that they could be copied for the display.

Any residents who can help with historical photos about the 1954 cyclone can ring Anne on 6685 4923, Toni on 6685 9913 or Jim on 6680 7731.

Wanting to give back to the community she’s been a part of for so long, artist Jan Rae has decided to donate the sale price from one of her Tango paintings to the Northern Rivers Community Foundation. The painting was featured in a recent exhibition of her work at Byron’s Retrospect Gallery. The $780 cheque presented to foundation treasurer George Lewin also included Retrospect's commission which they likewise felt inspired to donate. Photo Jeff 'Last Tango in Tabulam' Dawson.

Save wildlife: desex a cat (or two) Abandoned and dumped kittens often end up in our bush which puts our wildlife at risk. These unwanted animals will eat what they can find to survive.

Female and male cats can start breeding as early as four months old. A female cat will mate several times during her heat cycle, therefore kit-

tens in a litter may have different fathers. She can have a second heat and pregnancy while still nursing the first litter. Gestation for a female cat is only nine to ten weeks.

Billinudgel Vet Hospital (6680 3480) will give a desexing discount up until January 31 next year if you hold a health care card or pension

card. In addition, Pets for Life Animal Shelter Inc, a non profit, non euthanasing organisation, offers abandoned cats for adoption.

All cats are desexed, microchipped, vaccinated, wormed and fleaed. Find out more at www.petsforlifecatshelter. blogspot.com. And keep your cats in at night.

s the term ‘intellectual conservative’ yet another Australian oxymoron? After reading the verdicts of our local experts on the American vice-presidential debate you’d have to wonder. In ideological terms, of course, they are staunch Republicans, which is their democratic right. But to make the jump that simply because Sarah Palin is conservative, she is entirely suited to become heir-apparent to the most powerful job in the world needs some justification.

Our pundits, of course, agree that Palin did not lose last week’s debate. The excitable Janet Albrechtsen even maintains that she won. But their grounds for the judgment are entirely negative.

Palin didn’t make any major screw-ups. She didn’t confuse Australia with Austria or, still worse, Alaska with Nebraska.

She stuck to the script and did not fall off the stage. What a triumph.

But she did nothing at all to dispel the idea that she is utterly ignorant of science, history, geography, government, almost everything else outside Alaskan primary school level.

She may be or may not be inherently bright; she certainly shows signs of political rat cunning. But she happily admits to knowing nothing much about anything and in some important matters – evolution and climate change – is determined to keep it that way. She openly despises knowledge and has very little of it.

Is this really the quality such luminaries as Albrechtsen, Gerard Henderson, Greg Sheridan and their admirers want in the President of the United States of America?

Well, maybe; after all they have all backed George Bush.

Conservatives they certainly are. Intellectuals? Well, d’oh.

Don’t leave it too long...

Why such a need for speed? ers. Although sympathetic to our concerns, BSC informed me that speeding is a problem rife throughout the Shire, and seemingly years may pass before anything is done to alleviate the Left Bankers’ woes.

Re Chris Coady’s letter last week. So you let your mate Mac Nicolson look like a right dill. Now you’re still telling half of the story.

Chris, I would suggest that being a social member of Billinudgel/Ocean Shores Rural Fire Brigade you would be aware that it was you yourself who mentioned at a brigade meeting a figure of $20,000, no-one else. You came to a meeting and wanted the brigade to back you in a political move against the organisers of what we will call Splendour in the Grass. Your motion was defeated by a majority of active fire fighters at this meeting and it was made quite plain at the time that we are not a politically aligned organisation.

So please Chris, I as a deputy captain and training officer of the brigade strongly suggest you attend the next meeting of the brigade, as the dollar you paid to be a non-active member does not allow you the

to classify the sitch as a ‘clusterfuck’. ‘Think outside the square,’ I hear. ‘What square?’ sez the powers that be.

And then I read in the SMH, September 27, ‘Up to $12 billion in illicit drug money is flowing out of Australia annually.’ That’s on top of what we pay – in many ways – to keep the drugs out.

I thought we were being run by free-marketers and Peter Carrick economic rationalists. ‘What’s Billinudgel rational?’ sez I, ‘who’s done the cost-benefit analysis?

Exhibition Open Fri/Sat/Sun 10-4pm Rainforest Devastation – the Indonesian government have given grants for the locals to clear the roots out of the ground, otherwise it is no good for anything. So the money then goes to the locals instead of big businesses. It’s an absolute ‘epic’ getting these incredible roots out and down rivers and then shaped into ‘body part’ throne chairs, desks, beds, bars and anything imaginative. Sitting in an 800 year old root dream, seeded into a throne, I feel is better than it being burnt.

They will become valued works of art in a decade, when nothing is left to remind us.

The little people of the forest have great imaginations of art to sculpture these roots into hobbit forms of furniture.

Anger, fear and distress were some of the emotions surfacing as I surveyed the residents on Left Bank Road in the 50k zone, a speed limit ignored by most motorists. Twenty-four out of 30 written surveys were returned, which I shall pass on to Byron Shire Council (BSC).

BSC discussed safety in Left Bank Road in a meeting of the Local Traffic Committee last week. Traffic control and safety measures suggested by locals ranked in this order: footpath, more police presence, roundabouts, cycleway, increased signage, among oth-

OSCA (under new presidency) should become an umbrella organisation pretty much as BU is one in Byron Bay, eg its sub organisations should include a business council (Ocean Shores and Billinudgel), a walk and cycleways committee, the arts and history expo representative group, the Roundhouse cultural centre advocacy group, the sports fields advocacy group, the flood mitigation advocacy group, and a group coordinating efforts with other community and business groups around the shire.

There are many roads to success and while I fully support a ‘new blood’ OSCA, as well as Byron United (BU), I specifically would also like to congratulate Brunswick Heads and Bangalow for their ‘own way’ approaches that have shown exceptional results!

Beyond, doors should always be open to all groups and organisations communicating freely, advancing the cause of Byron. The better we cooperate, the better the result!

May I also encourage BSC to update us in detail as to what our current exposure is in regard to Council’s ‘investments’. May I propose BSC publish full disclosures on their website on a weekly basis. Last figures from July indicate that back then we’ve been $6,359,735.69 ‘under water’. Will the newly elected Councillors make sure that our investments are sustainable as well as in best hands?

While Julie and I are moving onto our serene Noosa Hinterlands property with further greenscaping in mind, our hearts and minds will very much be here as well and as such we will remain a truly progressive local voice.

Let us all unite behind this newly elected Council and make sure Byron is moving forward with a truly positive

Byronique approach to become pragmatic achievers and regional leaders. It is time to unite on common ground and show the world what Byron really has to offer! Pro-activity, pro-creativity and pro-opportunity aiming for lasting procommunity (including local business) outcomes.

Rubber stamping

now and much less than any retail shop!

I have been shopping at Edens Landing in Mullum for some time now and the prices are comparable to any farmers market. The shop has increased the supply of locally grown produce and I certainly believe buying locally is the way forward as it reduces food miles, keeps our money in the community, produce is fresher, tastier, more nutritious and most likely grown with love and care for the environment.

I can see that the farmers market has a place in the community, if it sells at ‘farmers market’ prices. Until then, look around, there are other choices.

I just don’t get it! I thought the ALP did not find acceptable a rubber-stamp Senate, yet now it is calling for just that.

At that meeting we were pleased to advise members of our financial results in the 2007-2008 year and through the generosity of members’ contributions of some $130,000 we were able to provide to the community funding for a Christmas tree, holiday signage, Carols by the Sea, the New Year’s Eve laser light display as well as our Beautiful Byron campaign aimed at improving the tidiness of town, planting in parks, gardens, removal of graffiti, litter removal as well as the community art project.

It is our intention to continue with these projects throughout the coming year.

The funds raised for the publicity campaign for good governance, once again through the generosity and concern of members, occurred in this current financial year and were therefore not reported at the AGM.

WIRES Northern Rivers would like to acknowledge Year 12 of Mullumbimby High School for their end of year fundraiser.

Their last day before study break was devoted to the positive endeavour of fundraising for two local needs, Mullumbimby Hospital and WIRES Northern Rivers.

The students took collecwings getting ready to annoy the crap out of all of us, especially those that live near cows and Victorians. Prof Michael Dickinson (how do these geezers get paid for doing this?) after some study produced five tips on how to avoid chasing around with a rolled up newspaper: use a swatter that provides camouflage (we are in the company of genius); wait for the fly to land; approach it from behind, (it doesn’t have 360 degree field of view); position the swatter slowly; the fly will move away from as you strike so aim slightly beyond in the direction it is facing and splat!

Letters was treated no differently to a number who were refused entry as they were neither members nor invitees. His subsequent entry was due to a special invitation by John Gudgeon in consideration of his role as councillor. Both Cr. Tabart and Mayor Barham were welcomed to the meeting by President Ed Ahern.

There has been some speculation about a rift in the membership which was fuelled by perceptions of Rose Wanchap’s political ad which listed a number of businesses. Byron United did not contribute or agree to the advertisement and only five of those businesses were members of Byron United.

Notwithstanding that, the Board was always aware that there is a diverse range of political views within the mem-

bership which was one of the major reasons not to endorse any candidate and to focus on issues and good governance.

Brother John I would like to support 110% Harsha Prabhu’s letter in last week’s Echo with regard to John Lazarus’s departure from

Council. The first time I met John was at a NAIDOC celebration at The Pass, and since that time many years ago I have never failed to see John and his wonderful partner Marie at every occasion which supports local Aboriginal rights and culture. Indeed, John and Marie were always the last two people, together with myself, to be found clearing away the last of the boxes and assorted equipment after a full day’s attendance at both Survival Day events and Sorry Day events.

And John and Marie’s efforts on behalf of the homeless are legendary in this Shire. It’s hard for me to understand why a man of John’s calibre and integrity would not be reelected, unless it’s for the simple reason that John never hedged his bets – if John believed in something

he would never stop to consider that being outspoken and passionate in defence of the vulnerable or the disadvantaged might endanger his public persona and threaten his position of influence with more conservative or less committed members of the community.

I can only hope that now, with so much more time available to him, John will find ways to continue to serve the community and the environment in a bold and meaningful way. Blessings on your heart, Brother John.

New guidelines for managing acid sulfate soils The Department of Environment and Climate Change (DECC) has announced the release of guidelines for land managers to combat the problem of acid sulfate soils in coastal areas.

DECC Executive Director, Scientific Services, Len Banks, said that around 600,000 hectares of NSW’s most productive land were considered at risk from acid sulfate soils, most of which are located in the northern rivers area.

‘Acid sulfate soils affect

some of the most productive areas of the State and can have a significant impact on agriculture, water quality and infrastructure,’ Mr Banks said.

Discover a very simple way to INCREASE YOUR INCOME And how... in a very short amount of time... you could be living the lifestyle you desire

J

ules Dawson was only eight years of age when he watched his mother weeping with despair.

It was the traditional Sunday family lunch.

Being brought up as ‘coloured’ in South Africa, Jules knew his fair share of discrimination and poverty. Even though it was a poor neighbourhood, the one tradition that everyone shared was the big Sunday, family lunch. However - on that day Jules’ mother wept with despair, not having anything to feed her children. That memory forever haunted the young eight year old. Over the years, Jules slowly began to look for ways he could gain his freedom.

After his family migrated to Australia in 1984, Jules was eventually fortunate enough to land a job as a manager with Hewlett Packard. He was finally making some good money - however his rise to corporate success was quickly dampened by the realization that he was working 70 hours a week and had no social life. He found himself on what he calls “the treadmill of a corporate career”. “It all felt pointless as I did not have a life, and I had to keep working to pay the bills”, Jules says. He decided to look in another direction.

Jules began to devour every investment book he could find. His

www.echo.net.au

thirst for finding the right path to financial freedom led him to staying up late, constantly studying and researching. However all his efforts met with mixed success. He even spent $12,000 on a 12 hour course but when he applied the principles he met with complete failure. Undaunted he kept going for 12 years as a part time investor and relentless researcher. And then in 2001 Jules found his winning formula that his students are now using to make thousands of dollars a week.

That memory is burned into his brain. In his first trade, using this new, powerful, cash generating system, Jules made $11,877 in a matter of hours.

Not long after he quit his job at Hewlett Packard and became a full time investor. It is not every day that a 38 year old can profess to running a successful home based business working only six hours a week. Seeing his incredible success, his family and friends hounded him to teach them his new system. Within a short period of time, they were making money also. The word spread and soon Jules was teaching this exciting system to people looking for an easier and faster way to

make money. Today people from all walks of life are flocking to his seminars to discover his remarkable system.

Jules has never forgotten his roots. He sponsors several disadvantaged children in poverty stricken countries and is a big supporter of charitable projects.

Jules believes teaching allows him to share his gift with others. “What‘s different about my course is that I continually strive to deliver the course in an interesting and easy to understand format. I know that people like things to be simple, so I explain it so that anyone can follow, and I make it fun and interesting and therefore anyone can understand and apply the information for their own benefit.”

“For me, teaching these strategies allows me to share my enthusiasm with others. I enjoy meeting

people and I am passionate about the hobby that has gained me a quality lifestyle. I take pride in what I teach so others too can enjoy life and not stress about money.” Jules says.

Jules will be hosting a 4 hour Stock Market course at The Lord Byron Resort, 120 Jonson Street, Byron Bay, NSW Tuesday 14th October: 6:00pm to 10:30pm If you are looking for financial improvement in your life, you can’t afford to miss this event.

At this course, you will learn the realistic approach to investing in shares, how you can make money even when the market is going down, and how you could generate a monthly income from shares.

Bonuses worth over $270 will be given away absolutely FREE. Tickets are only $45 a person. If you are not happy with the course, your money will be refunded in full, and you still get to keep the $270 worth of bonuses.

A celebration of Peg Gloorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life

DOLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plans for Bruns foreshore Michele Grant

The Brunswick Heads Foreshore Strategic Plan outlines the Department of Lands (DOL) proposed works program in our Crown Reserve parklands.

DOLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Strategy divides Brunswickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reserves into nine precincts and provides a brief overview of issues and opportunities in each precinct and a dot point summary of the proposed Action Plan.

The Action Plan is a fairly prosaic â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;To Doâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; list that holds few surprises.

Most notable are the projects not included in DOLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recently adopted strategy.

Lands Minister Tony Kelly announced thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be no cafĂŠ/ kiosk at Torakina, no camping ground alongside Tyagarah Nature Reserve and no carpark in the wetlands opposite the boat harbour. Initially proposed by DOL in the draft strategy, these controversial projects received virtually no support in public submissions.

Master plans DOLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s action plan recommends preparing another six individual management or â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; plans for the beach precincts, the riverside parks and the caravan parks.

There appears to be no changes proposed for Torakina and the riverside parks, just long overdue maintenance. The action plan lists refurbishing toilets, upgrading playground equipment and park furniture, repairing seawalls and other structures, plus lighting, and landscaping to improve safety and amenity.

The strategy will â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;encourage ongoing public use of the parks for markets, festivals, music, carnivals etcâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

The Surf Club, Boat Harbour and Old Fins site will be redeveloped.

The Surf club â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;complexâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; will include a cafĂŠ, function centre and new toilets.

Pauline Williams

The adjacent 2T land (deemed unsuitable for camping) will be rezoned for environmental protection.

DOL will advertise an expression of interest for the redevelopment of the Boat Harbour precinct. The size, scale and footprint of any future development around the harbour remains uncertain.

There are detailed plans for the redevelopment of the RTAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s old Pacific Highway corridor for public recreation, including picnic facilities, playground, toilets and walkways. The old Fins restaurant site will be converted into a new restaurant/cafĂŠ/function centre with an outdoor (guests only?) swimming pool.

No to homeless The plan makes no provision for overnight van/car parking for wayside visitors or additional affordable campsites for the increasingly homeless at Ferry Reserve.

The Strategy addresses contentious foreshore access, boundary, encroachments and compliance issues in the caravan parks in the usual vague manner.

DOLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s action plan will â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;consolidate the holiday parks in their current location and resolve boundary issuesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Once again no surveyed maps detailing the park boundaries, encroachments or buffer zones were provided to enable open and inclusive consultation.

All the caravan parks encroach onto adjoining road reserve land and in Massey Greene park activities also extend into the boat harbour precinct.

At Ferry Reserve, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;consolidationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; includes closing the former Riverside Drive and resuming 2000sqm of prime foreshore land for park use.

Foreshore space Community and environmental groups have long supported retaining the narrow foreshore strip as open space.

DOLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strategy leaves only a 10m wide pathway for public access along the riverbank.

According to DOL project manager, Richard Dunning, discussions are under way with relevant land managers.

DOL will need to negotiate with BSC over road resumptions and a DA is required for any road closures.

The DOL action plan will â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;implement a compliance program in the parksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; but when or how it will ensure compliance remains uncertain.

The Plan also makes a halfhearted attempt to address foreshore access.

Reconstruction of the seawall in Massey Greene will commence in November, and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;provide a dedicated area for public access along the foreshore incorporating pathway, seating and clear boundary definitionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

B63 >7B16 >/:>/0:3 67BA

There will also be a designated pathway in the riverside parks but it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be made of concrete and the exact location remains undecided.

There will be no pedestrian access or foreshore buffer zone in the Terrace Caravan Park. DOLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 20 year strategic plan makes no provision for buying back or relocating permanent vans and camp sites along the riverbank. At the recent public presentation of the plan, Park Manager Colin Woodbry claimed the high cost of the van buyback and loss of sites would impact on the viability of the park.

Various legislation, regulations and strategies all require buffer zones and setbacks along the caravan park boundaries, however it appears DOL is reluctant to adhere to best practice â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;using triple bottom line principlesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; when it may impact on park profitability.

DOLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s multi-faceted roles, as land manager, developer and regulator inevitably creates a significant conflict of interests. It also allows plenty of opportunity for Management to cherry pick the preferred projects and ignore the contentious issues.

It appears DOL intends to do a lot more planning before it can offer a detailed works program that will effectively address the most challenging issues in our foreshore parklands.

On Sunday Sepember 28, Baywrite Theatre and Peg Gloorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family hosted a wake/ celebration of her life, for those who were unable to get to her funeral.

We all felt the unintended implication in The Echo article (September 23) that Peg could be seen as a Drama Queen by those who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know her needed redressing.

Ex-Byron-ite and performance poet Rod Gibson, in a poetic tribute to Peg, said, There are â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;do-ers and say-ersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; among people. Writers, playwrights, actors, artists, are the say-ers who need do-ers to promote their work. Peg was a do-er.

She out-did many a long term Byron resident in not only supporting but actively working for so many community services and groups over the years since the late 50s.

Library stalwart

Certainly, theatre was Pegâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first love, and her involvement was unstinting since the early days of the Byron Drama Group, up to the establishing and final incorporation of Baywrite Theatre Inc, one of the few regional groups dedicated to workshopping and producing new writing for Northern Rivers playwrights.

Back in the past, Byron Hospital had Pink Ladies, who wore pink coveralls and dispensed tea, goodies, words of cheer, posted patientsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; letters and ran lamington stalls to raise money for equipment.

Peg was one of them.

Remember that beleaguered steering committee, which had to do battle with shifting funds and constantly changing plans, caught between opposing factions and desperately trying to get

Friends of the Library had, and still have, a battle for a new library when forced to take so-called temporary accommodation years ago. Peg was into that as an active member.

Friends of the ABC, yet another group of stalwarts, battling for support, had Peg as a working member.

When the Writers Festival came to Byron, Peg was there supporting the Northern Rivers Writersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Centre as a true patron of the arts. Again on a committee, although she was growing older by now, she was able to give financial support. She became the prime sponsor for Sue Melhuishâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brilliant group of actors who annually presented polished rehearsed readings to packed houses at the festival.

Drama Queen swanning around? No way!

the best for the New Byron Community Centre? Peg was in the thick of that.

Music being part of Pegâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daily life, she inevitably joined the Mullumbimby Music Group, on the committee, helping to promote concerts by visiting classical musicians.

The Arts Council for years had Peg, helping raise funds and grants for artistic groups, and raising funds is not a lazy pastime.

less they’re set up – one on one – no doubt with questions being scrutinised beforehand.

A Republican media advisor has gone on the telly to say, in response to protests over the media shut-out, that Governor Palin needs to be treated with ‘deference’ and press conferences are not going to be deferential, so no press conferences. At least so far.

Meantime, one of the results of this media censorship is the tube is full of hysterical takeoffs of Palin. On the down side, no-one has dared to ask Palin how she is currently managing a four month old baby (with Down Syndrome) who is or was being breast fed; caring for her other four children; pregnant l7 year old, 14 year old and seven year old daughters and one son in Iraq; governing the State of Alaska and running as VP in the last frantic weeks of the campaign.

Who is looking after the kids?

And is this the kind of role model women want ?

Palin makes Superwoman look like a wimp.

Contrary to expectations, the Alaskan Governor is attracting more votes from men than women. There’s no denying she’s one hot chick.

Great legs, beautiful teeth, high cheekbones, lovely eyes – all in all a good-looking elegant woman. But as soon as she opens her mouth and starts the Republican hype, it’s like being in a re-run of the Clockwork Orange.

Meantime, Obama still looks like he’s had the rug pulled from under him with Palin.

After all, how can you attack a woman who is a mother and a moose hunter? Hillary Clinton refuses to rise to the bait and the mainstream media are fixated on the ridiculous rather than the substantive issues.

But it would be a mistake to give the election away to McCain. Anything can happen and a few more financial collapses won’t give the Republicans more votes, that’s for sure.

Down in St Petersburg in Florida, a group of 26 countries who are IWC members are meeting to discuss overturning the global whale moratorium. No media, no NGOs, no leaks. The rumour mill says Pres Bush will give the Japanese what they want as one of his last acts in office.

As if things aren’t bad enough for the whales, Congress just passed a bill to allow offshore drilling which has to take place beyond 50 miles from the coast. How this distance limitation is supposed to protect marine life is entirely unclear as the noise of seismic drilling and exploration travels for miles and miles.

Americans. As always, I’m gobsmacked by the obesity in this country. Men and women so huge that they can barely get down the aisle in planes; whose hearts must be begging for relief. It’s hard to imagine what they must eat to get to this size or why obesity is so common here.

Then of course, if all this isn’t enough to dampen the spirits, there’s always technology.

Hiring a rental car at San Francisco airport is always a good way to have a dose of insanity as soon as you get off the plane. Rental cars no longer have hand brakes for starters. The theory being that you can always put the car in Park (gear sticks are out).

Now there’s a new techno horror. A keyless car. The rental company gives you a small device which looks like there should be a key on the end but instead, there’s just a row of buttons. No-one tells you the rental car has no key, (or hand brake) or gives out any clues about how to drive without a key.

And, unless you’re very clever, you can sit in the huge cavernous rental garage for some considerable time trying to figure out how to start the car without a key, in spite of the fact that the device appears to have the capacity to

The sweetener for the Democrat legislation is taking away the tax breaks for the oil industry and using the money for alternative energy projects. After years of opposing offshore drilling, the Democrats have bowed to public pressure. Their desire to win the election taking precedence over the ramifications of their decision. But this is America. The public doesn’t want to pay five bucks a gallon for gas and most people don’t give two hoots whether it’s going to be bad for the environment or not.

A walk on the mild side Michael McDonald

I think my partner must have put optimism in my coffee last Friday because I participated in Walk To Work Day (www. walk.com.au). It wasn’t too bad, apart from the sunlight, fresh air, lambs gambolling in the paddock and the other paraphernalia of the outdoors.

It wasn’t hard either, it being mostly flat and only thirty minutes to three quarters of an hour to the office. I set off at a brisk pace, a few spots of jogging thrown in – not a stroll down the Parisian boulevarde gaily hailing other promenaders. I would have looked a little strange for social interaction anyway – white runners, three quarter length grey trousers, casual shirt decorated in fluorescent green penguins, hairstyle of a Serbian war criminal, and a backpack loaded with licence plates and a custard apple (that’s another story). It’s pretty quiet at seven in the morning; passed a farmer on his tractor, a woman farewelling friends in a mobile home, and was passed by a jogger working at the pointy end of exercise.

In the few minutes before the next cup of coffee was due to be loaded in at the office, I contemplated my motivations.

I couldn’t manage Doing The Right Thing or any sense of righteousness. I think it’s more like middle-aged gent with paunch needs to keep legs working before they disappear altogether combined with a little concern about carbon emissions. When I put my car into the garage for repairs the other day, I felt a great sense of freedom, as if a weight had been lifted from my shoulders. Of course I’d feel different if I had had to walk 15 kilometres to the well for water and then return with a 20kg load on my back.

Walking and middle age are kind of like training for crosscountry running, which I used to do a lot of in my youth. You keep going because it’s the only thing to do to get a result – otherwise you end up a blancmange in front of a computer or television.

Apparently we’re supposed to walk 10,000 steps a day, which I doubt many adults and children achieve. However, it’s worth a try, especially if you live only a couple of kilometres from work. Apart from not becoming a blancmange and perhaps improving your mental health, you help lessen air pollution – discounting emissions from last night’s chickpeas. www.echo.net.au

Oiko takes on the world

Kathy Stefanac of Oiko has recently completed her first delivery of ethical eco textiles to exclusive boutique department store Lane Crawford in Hong Kong and Bejing.

An international buyer for an exclusive department store first discovered the hand made hemp textiles of Kathy Stefanac’s eco label Oiko at Bangalow markets earlier this year.

‘I was surprised to receive an email from the head buyer of Lane Crawford Hong Kong asking to me to email images and a catalogue of my work.

He had been on holiday in Byron and had first seen my work at Bangalow markets.’

It is the story behind the product that captured the interest of the international buyer.

Oiko began with a view to create well designed, fairly traded ethical fashion and home ware. Kathy works from

a church hall in Brunswick Heads which has been converted to a artist design studio and gallery, sharing the space with local potter Lucy Vanstone.

She collaborates with artisans in Northern Thailand to produce an eco lifestyle range of contemporary hand crafted home ware and fashion working with small family run businesses.

‘There was very little available in Australia at the time I started in 2005 and I am so pleased to see that so many sustainable lifestyle stores have opened up throughout Australia since then.’

Oiko textiles are entirely hand made, hemp fibre is hand woven on traditional looms by Hmong women in Laos and Vietnam, according to Kathy. The fabric is then hand dyed with hot wax to create Oiko’s nature inspired designs.

Kathy moved to the region two years ago. She studied fashion design then assisted the cream of Australia’s costume designers in theatre and film as well as working at the Scottish National Opera in Glasgow.

‘My last job was working in a supporting role to the costume designer on Matrix 2 and 3, and I chose to leave the film industry and the city behind and started Oiko in 2005 with a view to move to the Northern Rivers once the business was established. I was ready to express my own creativity after supporting the creative process of highly experienced and skilled designers who I was very fortunate to learn from.’

Oiko’s current range will be featured in a Sustainable Design book published in London to be released before the end of the year. See more at www.oiko.com.au.

Lions bring Rhino to the surf

The Northern NSW Lions Club Trust has donated a brand new Rhino quad bike to the Lennox Head Alstonville Surf Life Saving Club. The Lions Trust is a cluster of 19 Lions Clubs from Evans Head to the Tweed which pools money to make large donations which would be far beyond the capacity of a single local club.

The local Lennox Lions really went to work for the Lennox Surf club, lobbying the other 18 Lions Clubs in the trust to donate the Rhino to Lennox.

The Northern NSW Trust has given over $300,000 back to local communities in the last ten years, sponsoring the Dragons Abreast Dragon boat, and with donations to the Sheltered Workshop and St Andrews nursing home.

L ions Vice Distr ic t Governor John C. Lynch presented Lennox Alstonville Surf Club President Geoff Harris with the keys to the new Rhino, painted navy blue with the Lions yellow insignia on the boot. He said, ‘The Lions motto is, “we serve” and it is great to give the money that we earn within the community to an organisation like surf life saving who are serving within the community.’

‘Great work’

Mullumbimby High School’s Rock Challenge Dancers recently competed at state level for the third year in a row and for the first time progressed to the grand finals in Brisbane held at the Entertainment Centre in August. Out of 15 grand final entries, Mullum High came sixth and won the ‘Student Achievement’ award for the whole of Queensland’s Rock Challenge entries.

Congratulations on another great effort. Photo Eve Jeffery.

www.echo.net.au

The local Lennox Lions President Viv Miller said, ‘It is satisfying to make a donation that will allow people out there in the community and out on the beach to see the great work the Lions do.’

The new Rhino is a significant improvement to the club’s equipment because it can carry two people where the old vehicle only carried the driver. The Rhino also has space to carry the spinal board, Oxyviva and defibrillator that are a part of the Surf Patrol’s essential lifesaving gear.

The Lennox Surf Club

hosted a buffet breakfast for the Lions and then presented the Northern NSW Trust and the local Lennox branch with framed patrol caps as a token of their gratitude.

Community support is the life blood of the local surf

club, and such a generous donation of essential lifesaving equipment goes a long way to helping surf clubs keep the beaches safe, and to educate young people to be lifesavers of the future.

18 October 7, 2008 The Byron Shire Echo

Local author, witch, martial artist and Tarot reader Ly de Angeles gives the background to a film shot around Byron Shire recently: ‘I never imagined I could feel that bad,’ said my friend. She explained that she had walked downtown to do her shopping and suddenly realised that noone looked at her at all. She had become invisible.

‘It’s because I’m old on the outside,’ she explained.

I must have looked astonished for a moment but then I thought about all the times I’d said hello to ‘old’ people, thought of them as old and never got to know who they really are; never discovered

what they had done in life.

And now look what’s happened. Now I’m one of them!

Only difference is I have tattoos in the most unacceptable places, so I get looked at. Or do I? Or are people passing, to whom I smile and say hello, not looking at me but at what they think I might be?

When Joshua Rushton asked me to write a short screenplay so he could make a movie I thought about what my friend had said and it made so much sense to add the ingredients of my friend’s dismay at feeling invisible, another friend’s schizophrenia, together with the strange and mysterious, because when I’m not writing

or directing stuff I earn a living listening to spirits and telling the future through Tarot.

Ha! So the story was written, rehearsed, challenged and revised accordingly. In the meantime a team of exceptional local cast and crew came together and a whole lot of really lovely other people let us use their property for locations.

And so it wasn’t East of Everything shooting footage all over the Shire the other week – it was a Rushton/de Angeles film called The Redemption of Joe Frame.

Chris Masters moonlights in the Bay Legendary investigative reporter and author Chris Masters returns to Byron Bay on November 2 for an evening conversation with ABC Radio National presenter Mick O’Regan.

A heavy hitter at the Byron Bay Writers Festival 2007, Chris Masters is one of Australia’s most commanding and respected journalists.

In 25 years reporting for the ABC’s Four Corners, Chris has made more than 100 programs and been the recipient of numerous Walkley Awards for his groundbreaking investigations on topics of national and international interest.

He has written three books, Inside Story, Not For Publication and the multiaward winning Jonestown, the no-holds-barred unauthorised biography on the phenomenon of Alan Jones, host of Sydney’s most popular breakfast talkback program, a powerful personality and hugely influential broadcaster.

For many Australians, the name Chris Masters is synonymous with his landmark Four Corners report, The Moonlight

State, which helped trigger the Fitzgerald Inquiry into police corruption in Queensland, the first of a series of national enquiries into policing.

Initially set up as a six week commission, the Fitzgerald Inquiry ran for two years, revealing a history of longterm systemic political corruption and abuse of power in Queensland and resulting in the prosecution of a number of high-profile politicians.

Two decades on, Chris Masters has now published an essay in the Hidden Queensland edition of the Griffith Review, dissecting the

months he spent preparing The Moonlight State, the souldestroying 13 years he and the ABC spent in court defending it, and with the benefit of distance, his role in opening the floodgates for the creation of a new Queensland.

Chris Masters appears at the Byron Community and Cultural Centre at 6pm on Sunday November 2. Tickets are $25 from the Byron Community and Cultural Centre Box Office, open 10am to 4pm Monday to Friday, 6685 6807. For more information call the Writers’ Centre on 6685 5115. www.echo.net.au

Growing beyond depression John Dahlsen Landscapes and Seascapes

Iris Ray

Fifteen years ago I came very close to killing myself, because I believed at the time that I would never be happy again.

This is the story of my decent into my own darknessâ&#x20AC;Ś Mum said that looking back she could see the signs of depression, but she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realise what it was. I saw her and dad and my friends on the weekends. I was sleeping poorly and weeping easily at the slightest painful story I heard. During the week I was away at university studying a degree I had little interest in. I had been at uni for two years when the first panic attack one morning blew my brain apart. At least thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what it felt like.

Terror I was studying in an agricultural area where aerial spraying was a regular occurrence.

I hardly slept during the night.

I had alcohol and marijuana running through my system from a big party a couple of nights before. I was struggling to learn what I needed to know to pass a financial accounting exam that was looming in the coming days. I was sweating profusely and everything in the bedroom looked odd and out of place. The thought of driving my car up the highway to uni was terrifying. My heart was pounding to catch up with the thoughts racing through my head. I felt like I was disappearing into a frightening tunnel and the only sense I could make of it was that I must be dying. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a comforting thought!

Under the layer of my surface fears was the unexpressed grief of breaking from a four year relationship with a lover who was my best friend, the loss of my grandfathers and two close friends to death in the five years preceding; and under that still was the muffled cry from my own truth screaming out to leave the sufwww.echo.net.au

focating institution of studies where I felt very much alone. I was nineteen years old.

After days of panic my parents brought me home where my body and mind slumped into depression. For the first three months I could barely get out of bed. I tried because I loved my parents dearly and it was painful to see them so worried.

I was numb, unable to feel joy, disconnected from life, feeling like a failure and frightened to leave my room.

I had nightmares every night, and I awoke to a nightmare every morning. The sound of my voice when I did speak echoed through my head and my capacity to hold my attention on someone speaking to me was about five seconds. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how to make a simple decision like do I want a cup of tea? I hid in my room from any visitors who came to my house and was too frightened to talk to anyone on the phone. No one really understood what was happening to me. I believed I had gone crazy and that life like this, where I could not be the bubbly, happy friend that everyone depended on, was not worth living. The only comforting thought was planning my ultimate escape.

Anxiety disorder In that first three months I refused to take any medication three doctors prescribed.

After many weeks we found a psychiatrist who not only respected my need to recover without drugs, but reassured me that I was not crazy. The psychiatrist diagnosed me with an anxiety disorder and depression. She asked me to build my strength by avoiding anything stimulating, like TV, newspapers and drama novels. She asked me to practise shifting my attention to the details of my outer environment when I felt scared. I saw the psychiatrist weekly and mum organised for me to have

regular massage. The massage was grounding and healing. I rested and slept. My mother fed me wholesome food and read to me funny stories from James Herriotâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;All Creatures Great and Smallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Mum insisted I say the affirmation daily â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;every day in every way I am getting better and better and betterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. At first I reluctantly mumbled it, but by the end of that year I was singing it.

On a physical level my nervous system and brain chemistry was sick and needed healing, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what I received in that year with the care of loved ones. On a spiritual level I descended into a horror inside myself that does have a bottom, where it can get no worse. I would have passed on that horror to my family by killing myself, but a thread of faith saved me.

Finding courage Metaphorically speaking, at the bottom of my descent was a dry, rocky well where I lay naked on my back. All my grief, anger, shame, guilt and fear â&#x20AC;&#x201C; exposed. It is a frightening, desolate place. Yet beyond this lonely place I found courage, strength and love. I found a truth that I am dark as well as light.

It took three years to assimilate the trauma of that time. It has taken years since of maturity and growth to really accept and trust the darkness within me, but with this acceptance I am blessed with understanding of my shadowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s purpose and value in my life.

I am blessed with understanding the importance of following my own path guided by my heart. â&#x2013; Mental Health Week Acceptance Day is being celebrated this Wednesday at the Byron Bay Surf Club and adjoining park, beginning with a breakfast at 8am, followed by speakers and entertainment from 10am. See the full program in the ad on page 18.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something that translates into her live recordings. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I always prefer to record live, there are musicians who are great studio recording artists and some who are better live and I am in the latter group.

Like a comedian, I get a buzz from the audience â&#x20AC;&#x201C; there is a true talent in getting it right in the studio. What I love about recording live though is working with other musicans â&#x20AC;&#x201C; because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s imperfect and the moments that are perfect are so transcendent.

They provide the subtext, or even the tone for her performance. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The most amazing thing about an audience is how they can make old music fresh.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Kristinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s musical journey is a very interesting one. For this girl born into avant garde Haight Ashbury to fairly conservative parents, her rebellion was to pick up a guitar. A hippy tool! â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I was subjected to the ultimate child abuse, I had piano lessons from five. I had all this adversity, my Dad was a classic pianist and wanted me to follow in his footsteps and I had a really evil piano teacher. I heard blues when I was 9 or 10, but my Dad forbade me to play guitar because he thought it would lead to teenage pregnancy and heroin. I snuck out and illicitly learnt to play guitar. I babysat, and took photos of children and sold it to the parents. I was such an entrepeneur! My guitar teacher was two hours travelling each way. I had a

about Kristinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shows is her ability to engage an audience in story. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very very funny.

Most performers hardly speak.

So itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s refreshing to get the story that goes with the song.

The inspiration for including humour in her shows came from watching another show many years ago. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I was watching a concert a long time ago of a great beautiful musician â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I was in a chair and in back pain and I thought, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have to goâ&#x20AC;?, he did this skinny manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dance, awkward and hysterically funny and I realised then that my back no longer hurt and I stayed and I thought how did he get me to stay? He got me to laugh, and I thought I have to be more funny! I used to do incredible sombre songs, and then I started trying to find

hate actors. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing personal. I hate all of them. I think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d enjoy movies a lot more if they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t contain actors.

Just scenery and nature. Lets admit it, actors are just such posers. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like watching someone watching themselves in the reflection of a shop window. I watch films and am always aware of the beauty auditors who make sure boogers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fly out of noses in crying scenes and women donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fart during sex. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just too much big lip, perfect boobs and smooth skin action for any of it to be believable. These pristine and polished little piggies just wreck storyline for me.

All Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m aware of is how incredibly beautiful Angelina Jolie is and how Nicole Kidmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s skin looks like porcelain, and how Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to abduct Johnny Depp and lock him in my basement.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s narcissistic voyeurism â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a kind of erotic indulgence in the aesthete â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got nothing to do with telling a story.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beauty porn. Real people just arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that attractive. I see people all the time â&#x20AC;&#x201C; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re everywhere, and none of them look like those actors. Actors should only ever be cast to play other actors. If I was a director Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d never use actors. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d just grab people off the street. And theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d only get one shot, one movie, and then theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be back to their normal life, unrecognised and unidentifiable. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d also be paid a regular wage.

They wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be made up or well lit. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d actually look like people. There would even be stories about ugly people falling in love. Even ugly people having sex. Then, quite possibly, generations of young people receiving their visual cues from popular culture about how they should look and conduct themselves in the world may get a realistic yardstick and realise that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OK to have a spotty arse or small boobs and a bald patch (just not so hot on the one person).

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never understood why we buy magazines that contain nothing but pictures of actors dressed up going out. I wonder why weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve chosen that particular profession to obsess over. We could have just as easily chosen butchers. Imagine opening Who Weekly to find pictures of your butcher pissed, getting out of a limo flashing his g-string! I also donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand what the big hooha is around the Oscars. The speeches are always so vacuous â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I mean what real accolade is there in pretending to be someone who is actually interesting? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d rather meet the interesting person the story was based on. There are real stories about interesting people making important contributions. Of course they rarely hit the big screens, are underfunded and usually go unnoticed.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re called documentaries. I was worried my actor friends would read this. But then I remembered, they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t read.

Sherlock becomes Mr Mum While most people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t associate rock and roll, or even jazz and blues, with a settled family lifestyle for many musos, including guitarist James Sherlock, the life of a musician can mean they get to spend more time with their kids than most working dads. â&#x20AC;&#x2122;We moved to Brisbane from Melbourne because we thought if I taught more music I could be at home more during the day, so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m

more a home dad now and my wife has gone back to work,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; says Sherlock. These days Sherlock balances his dad duties with teaching at the Conservatorium in Brisbane and performing with his award winning duo, The Kristin Beradi and James Sherlock Duo. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We started playing together two years ago and since then the duo has become my main project. We did a recording and that came out really well and even though we now we live in two different states, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in Sydney, we still keep that project on the go.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; With both members of the duo having won prestigious awards in their own right, the jazz duo is rightfully in demand. Berardi won the 2006 Shure Mortreux Jazz voice compettion at the 40th Montreux Jazz Festival and Sherlock notably won the Ike Isaacs International Guitar Award. Despite the accolades however, Sherlock has mixed feelings about the benefits of competition in the arts. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I was living in Melbourne at the time and working lots and playing lots and I thought it might be good to enter.

Competitions are good if you win them but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not really particularly conducive to good music â&#x20AC;&#x201C; being judged against other musicians makes you think too much about what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to do. However at the time it was helpful and it was a handy thing to put on the resume,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; admits Sherlock. Like most working musicians, Sherlock has had to play a diverse range of gigs but he says his passion remains jazz and he continues to be influenced by the jazz greats. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Guitar is very diverse as an instrument but I really just concentrated on jazz playing.

When I was younger there were a lot of guitarists I liked including people like Doug DeVries, Ike Isaacs and Wes

Montgomery. But I tried not to get too caught up in one guitar playerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s style. That happens a lot with young guitarists today - they get really caught up in the style of one guitarist, like Scofield of Pat Metheny and then you can really hear that in their playing. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve drawn a lot of my influences from other instruments, from piano players to trumpet players and I think as a guitarist thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good thing to do.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; With a new album soon to be released, the duo is looking forward to playing songs from the CD at their upcoming performance as part of the Northern Rivers Conservatorium Arts Centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Concert Series. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;As part of the Concert Series we will be playing other peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s songs and some of our own compositions.

determine which neighbour complains about the volume, Broadfoot are probably hoping that it will be sultry, as hot air rises. Even then someone will probably be in an ultralight at twilight and have a complain about the volume – a very frightening modern trend that really raises the issue of whether one voice can override many many more, especially when the custom of live music at a lot of North Coast venues (and other places) has been prevalent for a long time. Anyway, witness guitarist Matt ‘I can see’ Cleary contort his rocking Explorer, Flying V or Firebird into easy listening volume – might be like witnessing the Red Riding Hood wolf dressing as Grandma all over again.

Tete on Sat I haven’t taken his CD off. It’s really mesmerising and you sure know why he’s been called the French Ben Harper.

I’m almost bi-lingual.

Born in Africa, with West Indian blood running through his veins, singer-songwriter Tete grew up in France. It could be the Beatles heritage he grew up listening to that has formed Tete’s distinctive sound – he has sold over half a million records since his debut release in 2001 PLUS sold out the legendary venue ‘The

What Miss Tindley Did Next Today I remembered when I first met Sara Tindley. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d both gone out with the same awful man for about 10 minutes, a striking viking dropkick. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Byron Bayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own version of 6 degrees of separation, but when it comes to relationships around here, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all backstroking in a pretty murky gene pool! It was great to be 15 years older laughing a vengeful witchy laugh with a fellow sister.

But that was then. And this is now. These days Sara Tindley is a successful singer songwriter of the alt country variety who has to her own surprise found herself on the bills of festivals like Splendour in the Grass and Bluesfest.

Sara has been busy playing live gigs and is in that special time for artists we refer to as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;between albums.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I was going to do an album this year but felt I hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t broken enough new ground with Lucky the Sun, it was 2006 when I recorded that and it seems a couple of years is good, to wait and put out an album, but when you are self financing and self managing a couple of years is too quick! I went â&#x20AC;&#x153;nah Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not ready to do a new album!â&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Right now I want to push into new territory â&#x20AC;&#x201C; like Victoria, I want to try and make Victoria a regular touring thing. I find Sydney quite hard but I want to keep tackling it.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I asked Sara how her stage time has affected her performance â&#x20AC;&#x201C; does she notice the new strengths that experience gives her on stage? â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Every gig is so different, sometimes you just bomb and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing you can do about it, it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter how much you practise it just wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t gel. Right across the board when I go out to do a gig I am a lot more confident in what I am doing â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I still get nervous but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel like I shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be there.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Lucky the Sun was produced with country music icon, Bill Chambers, dad to the much loved Kasey Chambers. I wondered what the Chambers family were like close up. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen them on stage and marvelled at their on stage story â&#x20AC;&#x201C; how their 10 year stint fox hunting created campfire singing which led to, well, we all know where it led to! â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;As a family I find them endlessly fascinating, they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play by any rules and the country scene is so conservative, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so straight laced and stitched up but they love her, they adore her, even people that hate her voice love her â&#x20AC;&#x201C; undeniabley the story of them living this unique and strange existence created a mythology, Aussies love that stuff and that opened doors and Kasey had the talent to back it up.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Bill Chambers has been something of a mentor to Sara. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very instinctive and he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give a lot of direction in the studio. He just kind of educates me further in song writing and song writers that I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have found my way to unless heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shown me.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; At the Mullum Music Festival Sara Tindley will be conducting a workshop in Lyric Writing. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I have never actually run a workshop before, but my strength is lyric writing and it will be based around that. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about finding the poetry and beauty in the ordinary things in life. I think the ordinary is endlessly fascinating. I live an ordinary life, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not like Mick Jagger. I live an ordinary life and so do most people and there is a lot of poetry in that. Sometimes I think I am so uninspired because my life is so boring but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be walking down the street in Lismore and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see something and that will get me going.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Sara Tindley is a featured performer and workshop presenter at the Mullum Music Festival, November 20 - 23.

Ladies do the Haka!

It’s quite possibly the world’s most fiercesome dance. It’s sexy, it’s powerful and it’s know to reduce their opponents to tears. It’s the haka.

The Maori haka has become known around the world as a war dance performed only by men that challenges and intimidates their opponents thanks to the All Blacks. But this is a slight misconception and many things about the haka are misunderstood.

There is far more to the haka than most people know and what is even more controversial, misunderstood and incorrectly judged is women

and the haka. From not being allowed to perform it, to bringing about death omens if she does, to causing men to go blind if they see a woman doing the haka, it’s not only silly but completely wide of the mark. Not only do women have an equally important role in haka and not only do they have their own haka, but men also perform the women’s haka and vice-versa (depending on the occasion).

And to rid your mind completely of any doubt that women are not allowed to do the haka…One of the fiercest of all traditional haka was the ‘Kai oraora’, a women’s haka of anger and hatred towards their enemy, it literally means to eat your enemy while they’re still alive and they did!

The haka is also not just a war dance, there are many types of haka. There are traditional and contemporary haka for many occasions from births to deaths, ridicule and courage,

from grief to joy. Today, the truth of the women’s haka is surviving and maintaining the indigenous potency of any traditional song and dance is that they remain sacred there are many traditional laws and rules in accordance to Maori spirituality that must be understood, learnt and strictly abided by. Mihirangi is an internationally acclaimed artist and is known as a contemporary soulful world roots performer who also performs Maori songs and dances and plays traditional instruments.

Since she was seven, when her elders reopened their ancestral house, Mihirangi was brought up with Maori Tanga, Tikanga and Kaupapa and spent the next nine years learning kapa haka (Maori songs and dances). Of Ngati Maniapoto descent Mihirangi is a proud advocate of her culture and today with the help of her elders she writes her own songs in Maori.

satire about the trials and tribulations of trying to crack the big time in Hollywood. It’s a contemporary reframing of Death of a Salesman – except this time it’s about trying to move ideas. Peter Hougton’s brilliant show was critically acclaimed and a huge hit in Melbourne in 2006 and 2007 and was awarded two prestigious Green Room Awards for performance and for best new play.

The Pitch is set in the very humble apartment of aspiring screenwriter Walter Weinerman just before he is about to sell his screenplay to an all powerful Hollywood film industry panel. We watch as Watler, desperately practices pitching his film concept. It’s his one shot at the big time and there’s a lot at stake. It’s a chance for immortality. It’s a chance to prove to the world that he’s got what it takes and maybe it’s a chance to win back his girlfriend who dumped him. Walter’s script is an action, mystery, revenge, loser makes good, romance film set in way too many exotic locations. Its a classic tale of love, war, sniping, plane crashes, exotic accents and plenty of meaningful close ups.

Walter’s film pitch is a hilarious, panic-stricken, desperate effort, that involves him demonstrating all the roles that he hopes will be played

by Hollywood’s A-list actors, including a clenched teeth Clint Eastwood, a debonair Sir Anthony Hopkins and a scintillating Catherine Zeta Jones. Peter Houghton’s The Pitch is one hilarious antidote for the many clichéd and over done Hollywood blockbusters that we are all familiar with. Saturday at 8pm at the Byron Bay Community Centre.

ART Stone based Inspiration ‘Inspired’ is an exhibition by Ester Poyas that is currently showing at Haiku Framing & Design, 144 Jonson Street (next to Mitre 10). Inspired by the stone bas-reliefs of the Angkorian temples in Cambodia, Ester focuses on the Apsaras, who were dancing maidens of celestial beauty. Often finely and intricately carved, the Apsara is a symbol of Khmer culture and the centre of traditional Khmer dance. Dances of the apsaras have been traditionally performed for the Cambodian kings and royalty.

1. This is Tina Fey. On Saturday Night Live she performs devastating satires of the gormless Sarah Palin. She also created and stars in 30Rock, a sitcom about a TV station which won a swag of Emmies this year. You would think that Channel Seven would be glad to have the rights to this top American show, but no, they relegate it to 11.30pm on Mondays. Last week they shifted it to 11.30pm on Tuesday, and then at the last minute replaced it with boilerplate coverage of the US financial crisis, mostly cribbed from CNN. Now 30Rock cannot be found anywhere on the channel. Such contempt for the viewer encourages us to watch pirated copies from the internet, although we couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t possibly recommend this.

2. Matt Damon catches his breath after the Moscow car chase in The Bourne Supremacy (Ten, Friday 8.30pm), one of the few franchise thrillers that maintains its quality and even improves as it goes on.

3. Perhaps it was a good idea to create an Australian Top Gear (SBS, Monday 7.30pm), but simply mimicking the sets and the set pieces (thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Stigâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; test driver) emphasises how much more entertaining the English presenters are.

And the Australian version has eliminated the original from SBSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s schedule.

he ‘supports the ideas but cannot abide the rhetoric’, you can’t help but feel empathy with him. Ironically, it is he who gets the most telling line when, watching children play, he utters ‘can you imagine being that free?’ Lady Diana tragics might wish to make more than is warranted of the family connection – Georgiana was a Spencer – but the film is much grander than such tabloid swill.

In Bruges

Duke (Ralph Fiennes), whose concern is to produce a male heir. This being a costume drama of fabulous frocks and big hair, you know she is fated to have only girls, leading to marital disharmony and her subsequent hunger for personal liberation. Because it is based on actual events, however, it should not be dismissed as fanciful melodrama, and director Saul Dibb also disavows any depiction of the Duchess as an agit-prop feminist. Georgiana perceives the double standards that narrow her horizons but is resigned to her lot – there is revolution in the American colonies and the times are a changin’ in France, but it is still a man’s world. The proud and intelligent young wife becomes horribly aware of this when the Duke rejects her in favour of another at the manor, resulting in Georgiana falling into the arms of poThe Duchess litical tyro Charles Grey – an What this movie has going unsurprising development for it is that it does not arrive that is flagged blatantly in on our doorstep laden with the opening scene.

you what, when it looks like she’s carked it after a rumble with el Diablo, the despicable Doberman, well, it was ‘Old Yeller’ all over again for the kid behind me. Delgado, the German Shepherd with a sad history, is Chloe’s big hearted protector and it’s a mighty moment when he goes running after the freight train to jump on board with her.

Rather too long is spent with a rat and an iguana, but they provide some decent slapstick episodes and the love interest is between the two-legged Sam and Rachel, with Piper Peraba delightful as the girl who learns to be responsible.

As one who has indulged in it forever, I have nothing against anthropomorphism, so if you share that inclination and are looking for a flick to divert the ankle biters for a while, this is a lot of fun. John Campbell

In Bruges is a comic caper film that features violence, as well as raw language, but the twists and turns of director Martin McDonagh’s elaborate plotting, and the film’s tremendous location of the medieval city of Bruges in Belgium, together with the high level of performances from everyone

involved makes it one of this year’s pleasures. Two assassins (nervous rookie Colin Farrell and genial old-timer Brendan Gleeson) have been instructed to hide out after a botched job. Apart from the eye-catching locations very handsomely photographed, what makes the film work so well is the believable relationship between Ken and Ray that becomes more significant as the plot unfolds.Gleeson and Farrell make a terrific team, and the stakes rise even higher when their boss Harry (Ralph Fiennes) arrives in town breathing fire and foul language. McDonagh writes interesting dialogue for all his characters, digs up some astonishing facts that he works into his razor-sharp dialogue, and there are several twists that add layers to the caper elements he’s conceived.

and two outside.

Annie and I are served by an especially cute young one the night we dine: two women of a certain age dimpling at his Latin charm.

The room is almost unrecognisable. Dim lighting, tables set with white cloths, tiny candles on each. The pool tables, covered and transformed into elegant centrepieces upon which repose more fat candles, glassware and an arrangement of copper pots.

The room is almost full: families, young couples, more groups of women, youths pulling apart pizza wedges at the low tables in the corner. My mozzarella is the real thing â&#x20AC;&#x201C; buffalo mozzarella from a cheese-maker up in Cairns â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and arrives in thick milky slices tumbled amongst tomatoes, good pesto, lashings of pinenuts and a balsamic dressing. Annie, on a detox, slurps Fish Soup bobbing with seafood in an intensely flavoured stock and leaves the unadorned pizza segments for me to crunch on alone.

We both want the same main course and work our way happily through barramundi perched on a tangle of roast vegetables and olives. The servings are so big that when Massimo pops out to recommend the tiramisu we decline emphatically. He insists; we submit.

And it is possibly the best tiramisu I have eaten, ever! Served in a cocktail glass, it is lush and firm and creamy; Annieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s detox flies right out the window. When I open my eyes I remember that I am not, after all, in Italy.

The restaurant at the Hotel Great Northern is open for dinner from Wednesday to Sunday night, and you would do well to book first, on 6685 8278.

TWEED

I was taken to Sardinia one weekend by a much older man I barely knew. He had somehow managed to persuade my employers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; owners of the inn outside Bologna where I worked as waitress and kitchen-hand â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that this anorexic Australian in her early twenties would make an ideal clothes-horse for the line of garments his factory was manufacturing. In my absurd and extreme naivety I accepted this â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which was how I came to end up at Porto Cervo, a millionaireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s playground on the coast, where yachts bobbed in the harbour on an improbably blue ocean. To do this man justice, he treated me with utmost respectâ&#x20AC;&#x201C; my naivety had not, fortunately, prevented me from insisting we stay in separate hotel rooms â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and after I had removed his arm from around my shoulder at the postprandial discotheque he never attempted further physical contact.

This strange episode returned to me recently, when I met Massimo Scalas. Massimo is the head chef at the restaurant of the Hotel Great Northern in Byron Bay, and Massimo comes from Sardinia â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from a small seaside place called Riola. We met because he was keen to tell me about changes to the restaurant: the fact that for some time now he has been attempting to effect a compromise between pub food and a more upmarket dining experience.

Massimo was â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;discoveredâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, if you like, by the owners of the establishment, the unerringly shrewd Mooneys, on a golf course in the Mauritius where he was working as a chef; after a stint running his own restaurant on the Gold Coast , they offered him the opportunity of manning the stoves of the Byron Bay pub. The wood-fired oven has been there for fifteen years, the last six of which have been in the capable hands of Peppe Abruzzese who turns out what are arguably some of the best pizzas in the Shire from an enormous blackboard menu. Only recently, however, has Massimo been allowed the freedom to serve up his own particular style of Italian food rather than just wheel out burgers and schnitzels. Moreover, he heads a purely Italian team: apart from himself and Peppe, there are five Italians in the kitchen

ARCTIC CUISINE An update on Lawrence Nikora, the local chef whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been cooking on Icebreaker research ships up in the Arctic Circle. Back briefly in Byron before heading off to the Antarctic for Phase II, he speaks enthusiastically about the past few months of albatross, walrus, polar bear and lemming-sightings; of stunningly beautiful female Russian staff; of quaint old Russian villages whose ancient facades disguise chic shops and interiors, and third-world Inuit villages. The menus he shows me are a mix of old-fasahioned dishes (like Pan Fried Fillet of Cod in Champagne Sauce) and Lawrenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own more with-it contributions such as White Bean Souffle with Black Olive Scone and Truffle Sauce. Four courses for lunch then four again for dinner meant, he tells me, vast amounts of wastage, especially given the seniority of many of the 120-odd passengers. He is, however, loving it, and looking forward to the southerly leg, departing from Ushuaia in Chile, the southernmost city in the world.

O SUSHI WINS AGAIN Byron Bayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s O Sushi has just been awarded best Sushi Bar in NSW, announced recently at the Restaurant & Catering Regional Awards for Excellence held in the Hunter Valley. The awards are based on customer votes in areas of food quality and consistency in customer service, and apparently an overwhelming number of Byron Bay locals voted in O Sushiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favour.

Sport with Eve Jeffery

A case of recycling the quick and the dead

competing for the first time since 2005 will not stand on ceremony if the opportunity arises to leave the old bloke in their wake.

They will be gunning for the Lion King and he could be on a hiding to nothing.

As a fully blown soap opera, sport is littered with the shattered dreams of those whose self belief asked too much of their aging limbs. Only in

the arts can performers kid themselves and the adoring mob that they are still the real deal – when prune faced Mick Jagger announces that he and Keef and the boys will embark on yet another blockbuster global tour, stubbornly unmindful of the fact that they have not been relevant since 1972, is it only I who groans with ennui?

Sport shines a harsher

light on those who will not depart centre stage and fairytale comebacks, as what’s his name observed, are like Lazarus with a triple bypass.

The Australian cricket selectors, scrambling to come up with a side to play the Indians in 1977 after the mass defections to Kerry Packer’s WSC, brought R.B.Simpson back from the dead to lead a bunch of up and comers and

journeymen. Simmo, then 41, scored two tons and was instrumental in the 3-2 series victory.

Wayne Bennett similarly recalled Allan Langer for the deciding Origin clash of 2001.

Alf, wiling away his twilight years with Warrington in the Old Dart, made a mercy dash to Brisbane and inspired the Maroons to their 40-14 caning of the Blues (bastard!).

Both men’s decisions were influenced by the need of the group, but that is unlikely to have been what swayed them most. The majestic Mark Ella, retired at 25, would not be drawn back to Rugby for love or money, suggesting that the determining factor is individual desire, or lack of it.

Kelly Slater and Layne Beachley proved repeatedly that, on a board, it was them first and daylight second, but walked out of the water and gave away competitive surfing, only to be lured back by the swell and the salt air to do it all again – Slater has just won his ninth crown.

But the sport which has witnessed the most dramatic comebacks, notwithstanding its inherent brutality and demoralising consequences of defeat, is boxing. The greatest of them all, Muhammad Ali,

Why do they do it? What is left for them to prove?

News that Lance Armstrong, Bradman on a bicycle and seven times Tour de France winner, is planning a comeback has met with consternation in the world of sport. His aim, he says, is to give cancer research a higher profile, having survived testicular cancer himself.

It’s an altruistic motive, but really, is there any illness of which we are less aware? By which none of us has been touched in some way?

There must be something else driving him – that unique something that elevated him into a stratosphere reserved for only the greatest of champions.

He may simply love riding and racing, so following his natural bent is fair enough.

The stakes, however, are higher for a man of Armstrong’s status. He will have the best support team available, his preparation will be meticulous and, most important, his voracious desire to win will be there in spades, but – and there is always a but – he is 37 and the young Turks and hardened professionals against whom he’ll be

endured an enforced lay-off of four years when he was stripped of the heavyweight title for his public opposition to the Vietnam War and refusal to be drafted into the army (‘no Viet Cong ever called me nigger’ is surely one of the quotes of the century), before lacing on the gloves and, in 1974, reclaiming his belt from George Foreman in Kinshasa’s ‘rumble in the jungle.’

Foreman himself, victim of Ali’s and trainer Angelo Dundee’s ‘rope a dope’ strategy, made an equally impressive return to the ring. After retiring in 1977 at the age of 28, he KO’d Michael Moorer in 1994 to become, at 45, history’s oldest heavyweight champ. But for every Ali and Foreman there are dozens of broken and bruised pugs who only succeeded in making themselves look foolish, something that you suspect Armstrong would be aware of.

So if he does slide back into the lycra – and who could possibly doubt his determination? – let’s hope that when the peloton makes its triumphant dash down the Champs Élysées, Armstrong is not bringing up the rear, an exile on main street.

Running up the Cape for cancer It’s time to dust off those runners, joggers and trainers and get ready to pound the pavement and the beach to help raise money for the Cancer Council NSW. The Byron Lighthouse Walk and Run is a fresh 10 kilometre walk and run, raising money for the NSW Cancer Council and will be held on Sunday October 19.

The fun run begins at Main Beach Byron Bay and goes straight up Lighthouse Road and around the lighthouse.

The run then goes back to Tallow Beach Road to Tallow

beach, along the beach towards Lennox Head for 1 kilometre before heading back up to Tallow Beach Road and down Lighthouse Road to the finish line at the Surf Club.

This run encompasses all the iconic scenery of Byron Bay for competitors to enjoy the beach and the lighthouse.

‘The run is a great way for people to get outdoors, exercise, view spectacular scenery while helping out a worthwhile cause,’ said volunteer coordinator Greg Kramer.

‘You don’t have to be an athlete to take part in the event –

it’s all about getting involved, enjoying yourself and at the same time raise money for the Cancer Council.

‘You don’t have to run, you can walk or push a pram – we encourage participation from everyone’.

There will also be many prizes to be won on the day with all prizes donated by Byron’s generous businesses.

For more information about the event call Greg Kramer on 0412 856 488 or Lisa Parkes on 0429 878 902 or you can register on the website www. byronrun.com.

The new FIDE world ranking list is the most tightly packed on record, with the top six players within just 20 points of each other.

Topalov has returned to the top of the pile for the first time in 18 months but his margin is so slender that a single loss could send him plummeting to fifth – a fate which has befallen

The importance of Byron Bay as a resting area for humpback whale mothers and their calves is the subject of a new research project under way by the Southern Cross University Whale Research Centre.

The study is being coordinated by Kathryn Brown, an Honours student in the Bachelor of Environmental Science and Management.

Kathryn said there was some evidence that Byron Bay was used by the female whales as a resting place during their southern migration.

‘The Federal Government’s Humpback Whale Recovery Plan has recognised the possibility that Byron Bay is a resting area. We are collecting that data so we can be certain,’ she said.

‘The aim of the project is to survey the position of the pods as they travel past and determine which areas they travel through. We want to know if they are going on the eastern side of Julian Rocks or coming into the bay. We are also looking at how fast they are moving and whether they are adult whales or mothers and calves.

‘It’s a sheltered bay. The mothers are nursing and teaching the calves survival skills. They have to feed the calves fairly regularly and they tend to travel close to the shore.’

The survey is being done with tracking software, developed by Dr Eric Kniest from Newcastle University, which can pinpoint the geographic location of individual pods of whales.

The pods are identified using a modified camera with a compass attached.

‘From the top of the Cape Byron Lighthouse we sight the pods through the camera and then the software program calculates the exact position and feeds it into a database.

We can then track the movement of the different pods,’ Kathryn said.

The researchers then add additional information on the behaviour of the whales.

‘When you look at the northern migration the whales tend to be moving fairly quickly, but on the southern migration there’s more backtracking. Rather than just a stream of whales there are more complex flows and turns. The males are competing to be closer to the females.

‘The information we are collecting will assist in the development of management plans for the Cape Byron Marine Park. There are a number of threats facing whales as they swim through populated areas, so it’s vital we know their behaviour patterns and what is important habitat.’

The project is being conducted from September to November, with Kathryn leading a team of volunteers – mainly fellow Southern Cross University students who spend three days a week spotting the whales from the top of Cape Byron Lighthouse.

The study is being conducted with assistance from the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service and NSW Marine Parks Authority, and is being supervised by Associate Professor Peter Harrison, the director of the Southern Cross University Whale Research Centre, and Daniel Burns, a PhD researcher in the Centre.

Council contributions plan The Byron Shire Direct Contributions Plan addresses public facilities and amenities like open space, recreational facilities, car parking and shared pathways that will be required to meet the needs of Byron Shire’s growing population over the next 10 years.

By 2018 the resident population in Byron Shire is expected to grow by more than 4,200.

This growth will place increasing demand on public facilities and amenities.

Council’s Director of Planning, Development and Environment Services, Mr Ray Darney said, ‘It is important for Council to plan for this increasing demand and direct contributions provide the means for Council to fund the additional infrastructure needed by our growing population.’

Direct contributions are levied on new developments which are subject to a development application. Council can only require a contribution if it is satisfied that the development will or is likely to require the provision of, or increase the demand for, public facilities within the area.

Contributions may be in the form of monetary payments, dedication of land at no cost to Council, the provision of a material public benefit like the carrying out of works in kind towards the provision, extension or augmentation of community infrastructure, or a combination of these.

The Plan outlines a contribution formula and rates, advice on when and how contributions should be spent, and a works program with anticipated costs. The Draft Byron Shire Direct Contributions Plan will be on public exhibition until December 5.

Council has also resolved to write to the Minister for Housing to request Byron Shire’s inclusion in the SEPP 70 (Affordable Housing) schedule. SEPP 70 listing enables a council to impose conditions of consent on development to provide for affordable housing. At present, this provision only applies to the City of Sydney, to South Sydney, Willoughby and Leichhardt, yet the towns in Byron Shire are some of the state’s most unaffordable, particularly relating to rentals. www.echo.net.au

Greens MP Ian Cohen questions the NSW government’s commitment to dealing with climate change. ‘The NSW government’s response to the Garnaut report, vividly displayed by a V8 Supercar race, is what I call delusional,’ Mr Cohen said. Quite. The subject of fast cars, global warming, noise, public safety and air pollution will be more hotly debated locally as the advent of the World Rally Championship (www.wrc. com) around Mullumbimby in September next year roars closer. At least the rally drivers would be much more skilled than many of the drivers on our rural roads, but do we really want our local hoons to be encouraged to emulate them?

It proves the effectiveness of local radio and that community is alive and well in Byron Bay.’ ■ ■ ■ ■
