Baby whale found dead at The Pass

Council’s finances sound: auditor

A three month old humpback whale stranded on the beach at The Pass last Sunday following what is thought to be a collision with a large boat. Rescuers from Australian Seabird Rescue, the National Parks and Wildlife Service and Cape Byron Marine Park were unable to save the whale and it was pronounced dead at 7.30am. The whale suffered a series of severe lacerations and broken bones near its tail from a propeller and it appears the animal had been unable to swim properly for the past one to two days. Australian Seabird Rescue spokesperson Keith Williams said the death be a reminder to all boaters to exercise caution during the whale migration season. ‘A large number of whales, including many calves, are moving along our coastline at the moment. Boaters need to be alert for whales in the area and ensure they do not cross the path of the whales as they continue their southwards migration. Calves in particular are inexperienced with boat traffic and may act unpredictably.’ National guidelines require boats to stay at least 300m away from a whale in its direction of travel and approach no closer than 100m from the side. National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) Byron Coast Area Manager Sue Walker said the deep wounds which appeared to have been inflicted some days earlier had cut through the lower spine of the seven metre male calf making it unable to swim. ‘The cooperation of the surfers and the local community on the beach

together with the Marine Parks Authority, Southern Cross University, Australian Sea Bird Rescue, Byron Bay Police, local vets and Byron Shire Council and NPWS staff all helped to make the difficult situation of retrieving the baby whale from between the rocks as smooth as possible,’ Ms Walker said. Dan Burns, a PhD researcher with Southern Cross University’s Whale Research Centre, has urged boat owners to be extra vigilant for humpback whales during the southern migra-

tion. ‘Humpback mums and calves tend to travel closer to the shore on the southern migration. People need to be particularly vigilant at this time of the year from late September through to early November,’ Dan said. ‘This is going to become a bigger issue as the whale population increases. At the moment we have around 1,000 mothers and calves heading south each year. It’s great for people to see them in close, but it means people have to be careful

when they are out on the water. ‘People need to keep an extra lookout for whales and keep the speed down. Studies in the northern hemisphere have shown that if a whale is hit by a boat travelling above 15 knots there is a nearly 100 percent fatality rate.’ A study by SCU Honours student, Kathryn Brown, is looking at the behaviour of whales in Byron Bay and has found there are up to 80 whales a day passing Cape Byron during the southern migration.

Be prepared for storms, urges State Emergency Service Lou Beaumont

The Mullumbimby State Emergency Service is urging residents to prepare for the storms and cyclones this summer. Particularly in light of the hail storm last Wednesday, they recommend that each household should put together an emergency kit. The kit should include a battery

powered radio, a torch, batteries, and candles. The SES also recommends keeping gutters clear and putting important documents into a waterproof, snap-lock bag. SES Local Controller, Noel McAviney, told The Echo, ‘This is a time that people need to be aware. We can expect a lot more storms, and most of the severe storms we have had in recent months have contained hail.

‘Suffolk Park was the worst affected area this time, followed by parts of Byron and Bangalow. We received 71 calls for assistance, most of which were for broken skylights. Windows were smashed, car windscreens and a huge tree fell and took out the side of a house.’ If you get caught out in a storm McAviney suggests seeking shelter

or a garage as soon as you can. If this is not possible, he suggests putting your car up against a wall as hail normally comes from one direction and at an angle. Also, old blankets and towels over the car can prevent broken windscreens and dents. For more information call 1800 201 000. To report an emergency situation call 132 500.

Kevin Franey, partner in audit firm Thomas Noble Russell, last week told Byron Shire councillors that Byron Shire’s finances were in good shape despite a dip of $7 million in the value of its investments. Mr Franey gave a powerpoint presentation of his firm’s audit report for 07/08 at last Thursday’s meeting. Both councillors and ratepayers have been concerned about Council’s exposure to the global financial crisis through its investment in Collaterised Debt Obligations (CDOs). Mr Franey said that in this area a large proportion of Council’s capital is protected and ‘we will get the face value back’. Of course this will mean a loss in terms of potential interest earned had Council invested elsewhere. Of Council’s $52 million in investments, $10m is in CDOs. A movement in the valuation of its investments has seen a downturn of $7.39m for Council.

Restricted funds At the meeting general manager Graeme Faulkner once again pointed out that, while Council has that $52m, it is restricted by law and only about $1m is available for discretionary infrastructure spending. Council’s revenue for 2008 came to $47.5m. Of that, cash contributions (statutory requirements under s94 and s64) from property developers came to around $4.2m. Mr Franey was happy with Council’s ongoing general fund balance of $1 million each year over the last three years – compared to $142,000 in 2002 – and a debt service ratio of 6.5%. Council has had considerable success in getting its outstanding rates debt level down from 10% in 2002 to just over 4% in 2008. In moving to accept the financial statements, Cr Ross Tucker made a point of thanking the general manager and staff for their work. ‘We seem to be in very good shape,’ he said. Council’s financial statements now go on public exhibition.

The heritage-listed Mullumbimby Hydroelectric Power Station at Lavertys Gap will be preserved for future generations under a revamped proposal put forward by Country Energy. Country Energy is planning major work at the Mullumbimby zone substation as part of its $70 million network upgrade between Lismore and Mullumbimby and it was initially thought the power station would need to be removed to allow the work to proceed. ‘We looked at a number of options and our early thoughts were that it would not be possible to carry out the necessary work without removing the old hydro power station, but now we’ve found a better solution,’ said Far North Coast regional

general manager Brian Glawson. ‘A detailed heritage assessment was done and we consulted with the community and received feedback from various individuals and groups, including the Brunswick Valley Historical Society, which was keen for us to retain the historic power station if at all possible. ‘We thank all those who offered their thoughts. While this decision adds a level of complexity for our designers, we believe it represents a win for the community as a small but valuable piece of local history will be retained.’ Mr Glawson said that as well as preserving the power station, Country Energy would carry out archival recording before any construction work began to compile a compre-

hensive record of the site, the building and its machinery and equipment. ‘Copies of these records will be lodged with the Brunswick Valley Historical Society, the State Library of NSW and the NSW Heritage Branch to provide readily accessible information for the community. ‘As safety is one of our key priorities, Country Energy will also fund the removal of asbestos from the building and fix sections that have fallen into disrepair.’ Work on the substation upgrade, which includes extension of the control room building, construction of a new feeder bay and replacement of transformers, is likely to begin mid 2009, while repairs to the power station building are scheduled for around March next year.

Water rights are perhaps the emerging human rights issue of the 21st century, according to water law expert Ilona Millar, pictured. She will speak on the subject at the EDO’s next Brainfood in Byron talk series on Friday October 31. ‘More than a billion people around the world don’t have access to clean water, yet the right to enough clean, safe and accessible water is not even realised as a basic human right,’ said Ms Millar, a Senior Associate at Sydney law firm Baker & Mackenzie. Her talk will look at the challenges facing many developing countries seeking to provide their citizens with access to safe water and sanitation from the perspective of international human rights and international water law. Questions about whether a human right to water exists under international law or whether it should be recognised will be explored using practical examples that demonstrate the potential for conflicts over water resources to arise between citizens, governments and private entities. ‘Without a right to water,’ asks Ms Millar, ‘what happens, say, if the state or country next door decides it needs a new dam, and your community is left high and dry?’

Ms Millar says it is also important to emphasise the impact that climate change will have on the amount and distribution of rainwater and groundwater around the world. ‘We’re already aware of the impact on the Murray-Darling. But climate change will make international conflicts over water more likely to happen. This will affect Australia if so-called “climate refugees” from Southeast Asia, displaced because they no longer have access to water, need somewhere else to live.’ Ilona Millar will speak at Byron Bay Community Centre from 6.15pm on Friday October 31. www.echo.net.au

More trees planted at Heritage Park

Cousins Molly McPhee from Ocean Shores and Paris Guiler from Brunswick Heads got busy planting native grasses at Mullumbimby’s Heritage Park community tree planting last Saturday. Brought along by their grandmother, the girls were delighted to be getting their hands dirty in the soil. ‘We missed out on a tree planting in Brunswick Heads last week so I’m happy we made it to this one’, said six year old Paris. Meanwhile nine year old Molly couldn’t stop declaring how much fun she was having. Photo Lou Beaumont.

Hoodoo Gurus bassist Rick Grossman, who was treated at The Buttery rehabilitation centre at Bangalow two decades ago for a heroin addiction, has been instrumental in compiling an album to benefit the centre. The fundraising CD Caution – Life Ahead will be launched on November 8. The double CD package is a compilation of top Australian recording artists including Neil Finn, Jimmy Barnes, Keith Urban and Midnight Oil. ‘I spent five months at The Buttery,’ said Rick. ‘It’s a gentle process that enables one to look at and take responsibility for one’s actions and behaviour and to look at the true nature of addiction. It saved my life and more than that, I was given my life back. ‘Since then I have raised a family and been a member of Hoodoo Gurus for 20 years. I have had amazing highs and lows in that time but I have been able to get through what life throws at me without sticking a needle in my arm or www.echo.net.au

drinking a bottle of spirits. As I have kept in contact with The Buttery all these years, various fundraising ideas have come up. A few years ago, I was told The Buttery was starting a big project and that was to build a new Buttery on some land they already owned, and treat twice as many people. A great idea as the waiting list is sometimes five months long. ‘I have known three people over the years who have died while on the waiting list. I thought a fundraising album would be good and started to put some ideas together with Dee Tipping. ‘This project struck a chord with Tony Glover from Sony/ BMG who I’d known for many years. The project was approved wholeheartedly by Denis Handlin AM Chairman and CEO SonyBMG Australia and New Zealand, and then the search for songs began. It was decided that it would be great to make this album something special for people to buy instead of just the usual compilation so I began asking

for unreleased songs or rare tracks and, coincidentally, quite a few of the songs came with lyrics referencing addiction or recovery. ‘The first person to come on board was Neil Finn and the beautiful song he gave us has been the catalyst to get this whole project moving. As addiction touches pretty much everyone, either directly or indirectly, this project has struck a chord (ha ha) within the music industry and the support has been overwhelming with pretty much everyone I asked coming up with something special. Further to that everything on the album was donated including the original artwork by Reg Mombassa. ‘The reason behind all of this is that hopefully someone who is seeking a way out of addiction has the option to get to The Buttery and to be given a second chance at life. It should be available to everyone who needs it.’ See more about The Buttery at www.buttery.org.au.

NOW showcases composting benefits Story & photo Eve Jeffery

National Organics Week was held recently with the aim of increasing awareness about organic produce, products and systems and to accelerate the uptake of sustainable production practices in the wider Australian community. In 2008 there was over 2,180 hectares of land certified as organic in the Byron Shire, in addition to the many other local farmers who employ sustainable production methods. The local farmers markets are a step in the direction of sustainability as they allow farmers to pick produce at the peak of flavour and preserve the nutritional content of fresh produce, and since locally-grown produce does not travel as far to get to your table, the difference in mileage saves fossil fuels. Often items for sale at local farmer’s market are grown organically and from farms where sustainability methods are used. Byron Shire Council wanted to help promote Organics Week activities as part of its commitment to supporting the current and future of sustainable agriculture in the area with a number of free community events. As an initiative of both the

New Brighton market regular Lisa Finkenauer, attended the demonstration at the north of the shire as part of

her weekly shopping trip. ‘I love the local market,’ said Lisa. ‘I enjoy the social aspect of the market and I am interested in produce that hasn’t done too many miles. I love going home and telling my partner, “I know the person who grew this food.� I get a kick out of it every time.’ Lisa also got a kick out of being one of the bin winners in the lucky draw – she will now have a new place to put all her veggie scraps. Compost bins are for sale

from the council for $45 which is cost price plus GST. The bins are made from 100% recycled HDPE plastic and they come ready to assemble with instructions and a composting guide. Residents can stay informed about sustainability initiatives in the shire by emailing: sustainability@byron.nsw.gov.au with ‘Subscribe’ in the heading.

Council lobbies RTA on highway upgrade Byron Shire councillors voted 5-3 last Thursday to endorse a 39 page submission by staff to the RTA’s Environmental Assessment (EA) of the Tintenbar to Ewingsdale highway upgrade. On a motion by Cr Basil Cameron, Council resolved to include in the submission its desire for the Bruxner Highway to be used

for heavy freight and for the RTA to analyse east-west traffic along the Lismore to Bangalow route. Crs Tucker, Woods and Staples opposed the motion. The submission in part stems from a Council resolution in July this year supporting a southern bypass for Bangalow. The submission

will go to both the RTA and the Department of Planning and it is expected there will be another opportunity for the public to comment on the RTA’s plans. Residents opposing and supporting a Bangalow bypass spoke during public access. Residents of Granauille Road see a bypass as a means of relief

from through traffic while the Bangalow 2020 group sees the EA process as fundamentally flawed and wants the route selection process ‘reviewed in depth, independently of the RTA, by the Department of Planning’. Its entire submission can be found online at www.heartbeat.net.au.

Farewell to Peter Hamilton (1924-2008) People from across the Northern Rivers will gather next Saturday November 1 at Bodhi Farm near The Channon to pay their respects to Peter Hamilton who died peacefully at his home in Byron Bay on Thursday October 23. Peter was well known and loved for his passion and commitment to community, sustainable lifestyles and the environment. He played a leading role in the Paterson Hill campaign at Byron Bay which saw endangered plants and fauna protected in the Arakwal National Park. The hilltop area is the habitat of the Dwarf Gramminoid Heath which includes the Di-

Occupancy in NSW. He was a founding member of the Bodhi Farm community. Trained as an architect, in the 1960s, Peter lived with Aboriginal people in Central Australia studying traditional aboriginal architecture. He made an extensive photographic study of the traditional wiltja (shelter), focusing on the construction and design in relation to desert conditions and social interuris byronensis orchid, found action. only on these hillsides.

Byron Dry Cleaners closes Aub offers free biz advice

Rhonda Noonan with daughter Bronwyn and Paul Farrell from Byron Dry Cleaners Hans Lovejoy

Byron Shire loses its only dry cleaning service and the employment of five staff, some full time, this week. Byron Dry Cleaners on Jonson Street will be closing its doors on October 31. For the past 15 years Rhonda Noonan and her staff have provided The Shire with dry cleaning, but the history of the shop goes much further back than that. ‘The store has been a dry cleaners since or before 1945,’ Ms Noonan told The Echo.

‘Keith Brown was the second owner and he took over in 1945.’ The changes in the last 15 years include more business from backpackers and the accommodation sector, says Ms Noonan. ‘We service pubs, restaurants, as well as locals, backpackers, tourists. One backpacker will often bring in many more once they know about the place. Wet weather will also generate a lot of trade.’ ‘We’ve tried to relocate to the Industrial Estate, but combined factors make it too

expensive. Being in town offers more street trade which is essential for us.’ For those requiring dry cleaning, Lismore and Ballina will now be the closest places, according to Ms Noonan. Have you seen small businesses close down in your town in recent months? The fabric shop on Fletcher Street and the leather repair shop in the Woolies plaza in Byron Bay come to mind. The loss of services to our towns reflect the reliance, attitudes and kinship we have as a community.

The Northern Rivers Business Enterprise Centre (BEC) is very happy to announce the appointment of their Business Facilitator for the Byron Bay region. Aub Eardley, pictured, is now offering free, one-on-one professional business advice to help grow businesses. He brings over 35 years of high level business experience to the role. After successfully running large retail operations for 20 years he founded the Business Enterprise Centre in Cessnock in the mid 1990s before going on to run the Botany BEC, which was awarded Best National BEC in 2003. ‘I am thrilled to be able to work with the BEC again,’ said Aub. ‘It’s a tremendous service that really benefits the sustainability of our region.’ An experienced educator, Aub lectured at the Bankstown TAFE in Small Business Management for seven years and has written a small business course that is accredited by VETAB. He loves working with small businesses, helping them to develop. He holds a B.Comm (Hons) from UNSW. The BEC exists to support small and medium enterprises to be better at business by offering free one on one confi-

dential consulting services, covering marketing and promotion; starting up a business; accounting, administration and legal; business plan creation and strategic planning; accessing government assistance; and selling a business.

Businesses are encouraged to contact Aub for assistance, whether they are just starting up or have been in operation for years. Aub can be contacted through the BEC on 1300 650 058 or email info@norbec.com.au.

Locals ready for peace protest Byron youth band wants you Last year hundreds of folks converged on the sleepy coastal town of Yeppoon in central Queensland to oppose the Australian US joint military exercise, Talisman Sabre. Byron Shire made up a large contingent of those promoting a peaceful world and opposing the US military bombing some of our most precious and biodiverse environments. 2007 saw over 13,000 US military personnel along with Australian troops participate in aerial bombardment, underwater demolitions, and on land firing exercises at various RAAF sites in Queensland and the Northern Territory. These have become locations of US testing of smart [sic] bombs and latest space age technology. Of particular focus was Shoalwater Bay which hosts a US base euphemistically called a combined joint training facility. It is also a place of significant beauty with an exceptional range of flora and fauna species in one region. Whales migrate through the bay with their newborn calves and unexpectedly may be the greatest asset for stopping future war games. The Australian Defence Force was reported to be considering moving exercises away from the bay area following a sighting of the famed

Activist Benny Zable at last year’s war games.

white humpback whale Migaloo. Naval exercises during Talisman Sabre engage in high pitched sonar activity that is harmful to whales. Discussions are under way to again join with the local community and the traditional owners, the Darumbal people, to protect our environment and call for an end to all war games. Talisman Sabre 09 is scheduled to take place next July 6 to 26. A workshop and strategy weekend is taking place in Brisbane organised by the Queensland Nuclear Free Alliance (which incorporates northern NSW). The weekend will be the first national opportunity for face to face organising among activists to oppose Talisman Sabre and plan for next year’s Peace Convergence. All are welcome to participate in the weekend events to be held at the CEPU Build-

ing, 41 Peel Street, South Brisbane. Some of the speakers include Renton Bishopric from the Shoalwater Wilderness Awareness Group who’s recently returned from US polluted bombing range Vieques, Puerto Rico; Hamish Chitts from Veterans Against the Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan; Jeanette Yow Yeh, a Darumbal Elder; Donna Mulhearn, a former human shield in Iraq and a member of the acquitted Pine Gap 6; Pauline Rigby from DUSK (Depleted Uranium Silent Killer) and Gareth Smith from the Byron People for Peace and Justice. The program begins 9am Saturday November 1 and concludes Sunday afternoon. Billeting is available in Brisbane.

Does your child play music? The Byron Youth Band is an exciting way for primary school children to learn the craft of ensemble playing and reading music, and they require only a few more members. In only three school terms, band leader Alfredo Lopes has worked up a soul/r&b repertoire with the band and they have already performed at the Byron Bay Golf Club, supporting local 12 piece band Soul’d. ‘They went down really well – there was an incredible

response at the gig, everyone was very impressed with their maturity, competence, standard of musicianship and their ability to read,’ Mr Lopes told The Echo. As a graduate of the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, Mr Lopes has performed internationally and has many years teaching experience, especially with young children. ‘I have been teaching and performing here for over four years.’ The children can already read to a reasonable standard when they join. ‘In some ways

they are better music readers than kids in high school. These classes give children a hands-on practical experience in ensemble playing,’ says Mt Lopes. Classes are held every Tuesday at the Byron Uniting Church hall, Byron Bay, from 5pm to 6.45pm at $10 per class. ‘Guitar, drums and more brass instruments would complete the band’s sound,’ Mr Lopes said. He can be contacted on 0422 472 398 or email mrjobim@gmail.com.

Health system at death’s door Volume 23 #21

October 28, 2008

The sleep of reason Spanish artist Goya (1746-1828) entitled one of his etchings, ‘The sleep of reason produces monsters.’ He knew; he produced powerful works depicting the battlefield horrors of the Peninsular War which afflicted Spain for six years. One of the most successful contemporary chroniclers of reason’s current naps is novelist and comedian Ben Elton. His 2007 novel Blind Faith is an amusing but also chilling account of how the Cult of Me drowns out logic and allows monsters to flourish in the name of ‘love’. With a tip of the hat to Orwell’s 1984, Blind Faith elaborates on a future dystopia, an exaggerated version of our current world after climate change has wreaked havoc. While its citizens live in squalor in a partially-flooded London, they must feel it is the best of all possible worlds or the ruling theocracy The Temple will denounce (and torture) them for denying God’s love for them. They reinforce their feelings of faith through chat channels, blogs, ‘reality’ shows and group hug-ins. ‘Everyone is famous’ is a Temple decree. Thinking things through is obviously not on the agenda. Books are despised, privacy and modesty are nonos. Science doesn’t get a look-in. It is not a far cry from many aspects of our own world. The tumult and shouting of popular entertainment, the ‘self-improvement’ industry and the rise of strident religious fundamentalism tend to drown out the still, small voice which asks ‘Is this true?’, ‘Can it be proven?’ It has probably always been thus throughout history – panic and irrationality used by religions and conquerors to bend the ‘will of the people’ to their own ends. Yet enquiring minds have also shed light on what is fact – the Black Plague, for instance, was regarded as God’s punishment for sinning but science proved it to be a communicable disease caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis. Although we may regard ourselves as enlightened, modern people, we deal with the same irrational pressures as folk did in the 14th century, the time of the Plague, though now the crises upon us are global in their reach. What tools do we have at our disposal to deal with them? Blind faith doesn’t cut it; logic does. As well as decking out the younger generation with the iPods, mobile phones and computers which rock their world (all created through the logic of science, not by a supreme being with a soldering iron), we will need to provide them with the tools to discern – to use an antiquated phrase – shit from Shinola. Logic 101 needs to be a high school course, with a special emphasis on fallacy, paradox and that modern plague – spin. The monsters which the sleep of reason produces may excite the imagination or provide fodder for Hollywood and religious tyrants, but to use another expression from our pragmatic forebears, they ‘butter no parsnips’. That is, they don’t get the work done needed to ensure a future for the human race and so many of the other species we have endangered. – Michael McDonald, editor

uick, call an ambulance and open the emergency operating theatre – the NSW Health Department is on life support. It is haemorrhaging so badly that a transfusion won’t save it. Amputations may be required. In the financial year 2007-08 the department’s cost overruns reached $320 million, Treasurer Eric Roozendaal has been forced to admit. In other words, the department has to find an extra $320 million for its overheads for last year. And that figure may have gone up by another $50-$100 million in the first quarter of this financial year. It’s no wonder parts of the health system have fallen into the red, other parts of it are broke and some hospitals can’t pay their bills. When the mini-budget is released on November 11 – Remembrance Day – we will learn how the State Government proposes to cover the department’s financial crisis. Evidence of the spreading financial black hole in the hospital system is alarming. Two weeks ago a Murwillumbah Hospital staff member went to the local post office to drop off the mail, only to be told that the letters would not be accepted until the hospital paid its postage account. In State Parliament last week, Tweed MP Geoff Provest said Murwillumbah’s sister hospital at Tweed Heads could close its doors in two weeks because it was running out of cash. He told MPs: ‘Senior staff at the hospital have told me that the hospital will be unable to operate normally within a fortnight unless the State Labor Government pays the bills. Tweed hospital is broke because the State Labor Government is not providing necessary funds. Indeed, the hospital would be put into administration if it were a private company. ‘Local small businesses have approached me complaining that they have not been paid

for three months, and sometimes up to four or five months. They have no choice but to stop supplying goods and services to the hospital unless they are paid promptly.’ More horror stories have been reported from other regional hospitals: t 4IPBMIBWFO )PTQJUBM PO UIF South Coast came close to halting all surgery because it had just a day’s worth of sterilisation solution in stock due to unpaid bills.

When Craig Knowles was Health Minister (1999-2003) he issued a ministerial directive that all suppliers’ accounts must CF QBJE XJUIJO EBZT #VU somewhere along the line, in the vast departmental bureaucracy, the directive has gone missing. Or maybe it’s simply being ignored. Meanwhile the hospital service has been hit by another potentially devastating problem. Freedom Of Information documents obtained by the NSW Opposition show 6,700 nurses resigned between July 2007 and June 2008 – that’s an average of 558 per month. Shadow Health Minister Jillian Skinner complained that the government had also introduced changes that make nurse training more difficult and more expensive. ‘Anyone wishing to become an Enrolled Nurse will now have to pay around $10,000 to do a year’s vocational course before

being able to work in a hospital for the final two years on a trainee wage,’ Mrs Skinner said. ‘This will have a dramatic impact on our hospitals which have relied heavily on Enrolled Nurses to care for patients in the wards. In fact the latest NSW Health Annual Report reveals that the total nurse workforce in NSW includes 17,084 Enrolled Nurses. ‘Hospital nurse managers have told me these changes will have a disastrous effect on their workforce and, with nurses already run off their feet and leaving in disgust, this is the worst direction the State Government could be taking.’ If the aforementioned is an accurate snapshot of the Health Department, what’s the state of the Education Department? How is it managing to pay its bills and its teaching staff? And what about the Department of Community Services – are its staff walking out at the same rate as nurses, and what is the size of the budget over-runs at DOCS? Having watched the NSW economy slip into inertia and dysfunctionality ever since the 2000 Olympics, I have the uneasy feeling it is not just the Health Department that has over-spent and is now scrambling for extra funding to cover current account debts. This is the plight of the government as a whole. Incidentally, what’s happened to government pooled investments? Rumours are swirling around that billions have been lost in the global meltdown? Surely the books should be opened so we can see what they’ve done with our money. Without wishing to be alarmist, I’m wondering whether NSW is broke. Otherwise, why would they be hiring not one CVU UXP GPSNFS 3FTFSWF #BOL HPWFSOPST o #FSOJF 'SBTFS and Ian Macfarlane – to take charge? â–

Residents rally on state planning Give Byron Shire Council back its power to approve local development. This is what we need now from the Planning Minister. Following a successful rally in Sydney, RAID (Residents Against Inappropriate Development), parliamentarians and ministers are now listening to community groups. Currawong and Callan Park have this week been rescued from developers. Planning Minister Kristina Keneally can save face by returning decision-making for the controversial supermarket development in Mullumbimby back to Byron Shire Council.

The happy dance Who can remember those teenage years of looking forward to that party on the weekend? The nerves, the excitement, the dressing up and getting ready. Maybe that big crush is going to be there or some other life changing friendship might be formed. Stepping out of that childhood skin and shimmying into something a bit bigger. Same universal happy dance that has been going on for ever. What is important at this stage is that there is somewhere to go where you are safe to be a bit wilder, braver, more yourself than the everyday regime allows. Safe because there is a socially sanctioned container that respects this natural stage of development. A place that draws a circle that can be stepped back into when things feel unsafe. A place where the happy dance can be resourced and monitored. A place where antisocial behavior can be minimised by interaction, education and understanding. Through the many generations we have learnt that if this circle exists, qualities such as respect, gratitude and creative innovation are developed. With a community that prides itself on conscious parenting, master party planning, socially aware councillors and enthusiastic volunteers, the time has never been riper to create some of these containers. Yes, the YAC is finally being renovated. Car-pooling is a possibility. Great fund-raising initiatives are taking place. The whispers of change are in the air. What is important now is that the kids start to experience these changes. That they are

banner was brandished by two members of the Mullum CAN at the RAID Rally in Sydney recently. The banner refers to the removal of Byron Shire Council’s right to decide on the suitability of a big box supermarket in Station Street. About 2500 people representing community groups from all over NSW rallied to denounce ex-Minister Sartor’s recent changes to the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act which gave him the right to ignore community, local councils and environmental and heritage experts and approve anything which he deemed as ‘state significant’ or ‘critical infrastructure’‌. with no right of appeal! Greens MLC Sylvia Hale, speaking at the rally, said that now was payback time for the developers who donated $8m to the NSW Labor Party cof-

fers before the election. Brad Hazzard (opposition spokesperson for planning) said that the Liberal Party would scrap the dollars for deals system and revoke the contentious Part 3A of the EPA Act. The organisers of the rally, Friends of Currawong, are now rejoicing as the Upper House of State Parliament, voting 22 to 16 this week, dealt a crushing blow to the proposed developers of Currawong. The iconic workers’ holiday retreat on Pittwater is to be placed immediately on the State Heritage list and protected from residential subdivision. Further impressive changes since the rally are that Callan Park in Sydney has been handed back to the local council and the Hilltop Residents Action Group in the Southern Highlands who are fighting a $6m shooting range

within earshot of their village have finally been granted a meeting with the Minister; ‘It’s a miracle,’ they said. A dossier representing more than 100 groups’ concerns is to be presented to the Minister on the 11th of the 11th. Friends of Currawong are now setting up a foundation to assist community groups in their fights to save the environment. I would like to thank all the people who donated funds, cakes for our stall and bought raffle tickets at our Banish the Big Box Rally last July, enabling us to fly to Sydney to support the massive demonstration against the new laws in NSW which condone environmental vandalism.

no longer chased around the streets like criminals for turning up at a party and no longer risk hitchhiking up highways to get to it. That is still the reality they have been experiencing every weekend. Without a container it becomes about authoritarian control and ensuing antisocial behaviour. It is our community responsibility to honour our youth happy dance. To help their needs be met by reasonable and resorceful means. I look forward to taking part.

are spending the last years of their lives in misery, forgotten, in pain, incontinent and in some cases maltreated in substandard nursing homes. As you point out, palliative care, while commendable, cannot alleviate all suffering, eg the sad case of Angelique Flowers, who died vomiting faecal material. Many people do in fact die hard and palliative care is simply not available to many. Most people I talk to do not wish to end their lives this way. Of course, there are others who agree with Pope Benedict that life should be allowed to go to ‘its natural sunset’. (Although how the good Pope reconciles this with his church’s wholehearted approval of such unnatural means of keeping people alive well beyond their natural sunset as artificial ventilation, tube feeding etc, is beyond me.) This letter is not written to denigrate religions and their followers but simply to urge that they live their lives (and deaths) as they choose but not to interfere with the rights of others to seek the means to a humane and peaceful death.

ing of themselves, based on the knowledge or belief that as one sees to the wellbeing of the whole, the whole is bound to see to the wellbeing of oneself. In a nutshell, it is greed or the ascendance of an individual’s lower self that causes the maladjustment of both socialism and capitalism. For example, with socialism, when workers lean on their shovels, in the belief that the work of others will feed them, the rot has begun. Similarly, in a capitalist society, when a landlord exacts the highest rent he can, without considering that he is in a financially favoured position compared with his tenant and therefore has an obligation to share by lowering rent, once again the collapse has begun. A maturing individual in a capitalist society acts more like a socialist, and in a socialist society, more like a capitalist.

Right to die You are to be commended on bringing the subject of the right of the suffering elderly to choose their own means and timing of exit to readers’ attention (Echo, October 21). For some strange reason, even though 80% of the population approves of a controlled form of voluntary euthanasia and even though it is illegal to let animals die in suffering, people generally are squeamish about discussing the subject. For this, we can thank the forces of the religious right, eg Tony Abbott, who invest tremendous resources in casting aspersions on Dr Nitschke and the euthanasia movement. The rationale for their stance is religious, but knowing that religion cuts little ice with the Australian public these days, they obfuscate with phoney secular arguments such as the ‘slippery slope’. ie once a humane form of voluntary euthanasia is legalised, we will all be at risk of being ‘euthanased’ such as happened under the Nazis.

Maturity needed Mungo MacCallum does a disservice to both capitalism and socialism by saying that ‘pure capitalism does not work any better than pure socialism’. I would suggest that both capitalism and socialism are workable systems with mature people, and neither work with immaturity. Maturity in this case is a measure of the degree to which individuals are able to consider the wellbeing of the whole above the wellbe-

Rail debate gathers a head of steam I hope that the letter in the last edition entitled ‘Dead Horse’ from Ross Thatcher was a joke because, if not, he needs to become more informed on the subject before going to print. We desperately need to minimise our use of fossil fuels before they run out, we need to reduce emissions of CO2 in order to minimise global warming and we need to cut down on the pollution caused by vehicle and other polluters. All of the above would be greatly helped by a greater use of railways, particularly with electrically powered locos. Worldwide, closed railways are being seriously reconsidered for reopening. We are planning to spend huge sums of money upgrading roads like the Pacific highway. These upgrades are largely required to cope with the ever increasing number of trucks that are getting larger and larger. The new roads have to be designed for the heavier and more frequent truck movements. This results in the roads being much more expensive than they would have been if the size and number of trucks was smaller. If more goods could be transported by rail, many of the upgrades would not be necessary. The saving of funding that would occur could be used to reo-

pen railways such as Casino to Murwillumbah, including a connection to Coolangatta. This connection would also provide great convenience for those wishing to go to Brisbane and its airport and to the Gold Coast and Coolangatta airport. As far as noise is concerned, this would be minimal using electric locos and jointless rails. The noise impact would have less impact on the surrounding area than that created by trucks currently the Pacific highway. I hope that this community will see the benefit of reopening railways and building new ones in order to provide a better environment for those that follow us. Chris Abraham

Mullumbimby Creek ■ Mr Thatcher, you seem to already be affected by ‘bitumen fumes’ as your latest missive is short on facts and high on fantasy. The group of people you observed enjoying a meal at the Bangalow Bowling Club were not attending a TOOT meeting. Guess that takes the steam out of all your froth and bother about some furtive TOOT meeting held ‘privately in the furtherest reaches of the auditorium’. I can assure you that there

is no conspiracy forming to force you to catch any form of public transport that is ‘running to someone else’s timetables’. You might also take greater care to distinguish between my role with TOOT and my role as a Councillor in your arguments. Your claim that ‘only a very small minority would benefit’ from commuter trains is not supported. We all benefit from lower carbon emissions and radically reduced construction and operating costs compared to roads. To constantly fund only the very expensive road option means that there is less money for other government services such as health and education than might otherwise be available with a more balanced approach to transport infrastructure. To become better informed on the dynamics of our transport network and the difference that rail could make to our environment, community and economy, take a look at some of the publications available at toot.org.au. You might like to start with Connecting Communities, Linking Regions, a discussion paper that you can download from the homepage. The record will show that the definition of a Besot-

ted Unthinking Motorist (BUM) was never ‘everyone else... that uses the roads’. It only ever applied to motorists who believed that their right to have access to roads should be ranked higher than the rights of others (who may not be able to drive) to access transport services. Cr Basil Cameron

Goonengerry Ross Thatcher should stop sniffing so much bitumen (like petrol it can scramble the brain). He might then realise that many thousands of local folk signed petitions in support of retaining and extending the rail.

Mullumbimby ■ While Ross Thatcher is enti-

tled to his opinions, no matter how ill-informed, he should know by now that TOOT is not a one person band. It is a community organisation with hundreds of members who represent thousands of people across the Northern Rivers who want and need an affordable, cost effective commuter rail service. These are the people who have attended numerous rallies, some at 1am, and written thousands of letters to politicians and transport ministers

Byron Bay demanding rail services. Most local politicians, while failing to fight for what the community wants, agree that a commuter rail service is needed. Unfortunately these politicians are hostage to the powerful road transport lobby who demand that billions of taxpayer dollars (compared to a few million for a rail service) be spent subsidising their unsustainable industry. Talk about dead horses and subsidising minorities, a free rail service would be more cost effective when the environmental damage created by road transport is entered into the equation. If the Queensland government can rebuild their rail line to Coolangatta, and provide a safe, clean, regular, affordable, well-patronised, environmentally friendly commuter rail service, getting Trains On Our Tracks is a walk in the park. Ross Thatcher has the right to drive behind thousands of B doubles breathing their toxic fumes if he wishes – while the oil lasts, that is – but he doesn’t have the right to force the rest of us to do so. I wonder how Ross will get home when the oil runs out, might have to revive that dead horse...

Crabs, please Dear Mary Gardner, I always read your pieces in The Echo with interest. There is so much to learn. Almost every day I see something else on my beach walks that sets me wondering and wanting to know more. I’ve always been fascinated by the hardworking tiny crabs who create those fantastic ‘murals’ of sandballs on the tide line. Why do they do it? How come it’s only during certain seasons... is it connected with mating? It’s amazing to see the diverse designs created by their endeavours. I’m hoping one of your stories will focus on these creatures. Trude Helm

Affordable housing? Unaffordable development Dailan Pugh

Using the guise of affordable housing, Byron Shire Council is now putting paid to its claims of sustainable development. Having refused to adopt the Byron Bay Settlement Strategy and put the Rural Settlement Strategy on hold, it is now proposing to override the Brunswick Heads, Mullumbimby and Bangalow Settlement Strategies by giving developers density bonuses of 25%-42%. The whole planning process is at hazard of being irrevocably corrupted as Council proposes doing deals with developers to share the increased profits from these ‘density bonuses’ and rezoning of lands

for development. With Council proposing to spend tens of millions of dollars developing units, nursing homes and retirement homes it will be increasingly keen to do deals to pay off its debts. Byron Council adopted its Greenprint for a sustainable future in 1995 and set about

implementing it through the preparation of settlement strategies for its towns, villages and rural areas. This process involved taking into account environmental constraints, infrastructure limitations and community wishes. The outcome was an allowance for 2,600 new dwellings

in the shire’s towns and 670 in rural areas. In 2007 the State Government’s Regional Strategy identified Byron Shire’s share of projected population growth by 2031 as requiring 2,600 new dwellings. They intentionally reduced Byron’s expected share, and correspondingly

increased them for Ballina and Tweed, to allow for our high tourist load. This gave Byron a chance to implement its settlement strategies and adopt a slow growth strategy. Under the guidance of our Councillors, the draft Affordable Housing Strategy has reassessed these lands using consultants and a look-around approach. In at least one case they wrongly assessed the block adjacent to the one they thought they did. Environmental constraints and infrastructure limitations were given short shrift.

In keeping with Council’s recent practices, the draft Affordable Housing Strategy doesn’t bother to assess how much growth its increased densities will allow. Council is avoiding doing the required Growth Management Strategy and instead pursues unlimited growth, with an expectation of up to 6,800 new dwellings by 2031. For Council-owned land, the draft Affordable Housing Strategy proposes in the first five years that Council develop, south of the Council Chambers’ carpark a 58 unit affordable housing complex, on Bayshore Drive a commercial seniors living development (with some affordable units), and create a caravan park or manufactured house estate adjacent to the railway line south of Mullumbimby. For State government land, it proposes in the first five years that Council develop the school site in Suffolk Park as a retirement village, redevelop three Department of Housing properties into units, and develop a caravan park or manufactured house estate on the Bangalow showground. For private land it is proposing rezoning the vacant block adjacent to the garage at Suffolk Park for a retirement home, sites around Mullumbimby that were refused rezoning in the past and excluded by the settlement strategy, Belongil Fields to allow for manufactured homes, and various other lands identified in the settlement strategies for a share of the profits. This turns Council into a major developer (a scary prospect) and necessitates the rais-

ing of many millions of dollars. Council’s increase in staff and $2.8 million increase in wages over the past two years will pale into insignificance when it creates its affordable housing wing. To kickstart the first five year program the draft strategy recommends selling Council land along Bayshore Drive and at Belongil. Though the focus of the strategy is for Council to give developers in and around our town centres ‘density bonuses’ of 25%-42% more floor area than what the Local Environmental Plan proposes. The catch being that Council gets a share of the extra profits generated.

Doing deals Council will also be doing deals for rezoning new areas in return for land or money to fund its projects. And it will need as much money as it can get to pay off its debts. The draft Affordable Housing Strategy identifies that the two current providers of lowcost housing are Department of Housing properties and caravan parks. Only 1.8% of Byron Shire households are in public housing compared with around 5% for NSW. Rather than Council redeveloping State government land they should be vigorously pursuing the Department of Housing to provide our fair share of lowcost housing. Council should stop trying to get rid of our existing caravan parks by withdrawing their proposals to rezone two of Byron Bay’s caravan parks as ‘Tourism’ (which would allow them to be redeveloped into resorts) and two as residential. Appropriately sited new Council caravan parks are an affordable way for Council to provide additional low-cost housing without having to sell assets. Also if Council is genuinely concerned about increasing the pool of rentable properties and making them more affordable then they would prohibit holiday letting in most residential areas. We are facing the greatest environmental crisis in human history. If Council is going to raise millions of dollars I would rather my share was targeted at implementing alternative power and helping landholders rehabilitate degraded ecosystems and replant rainforests to buffer species against extinction while soaking up our CO2. I would also prefer we stuck with slow population growth and good planning. Don’t miss your chance to say what you want. Submissions on Council’s draft Affordable Housing Strategy are due by November 18. www.echo.net.au

When cooking for blokes is men’s work Peter Shepherd

Begin with the idea that what you end up with is not what you set out to achieve. This is important. Life needs surprises. And you don’t want to be pegged as a bloke who follows recipes. An off-the-rack guy? Not you. Let there be simplicity with flair in the kitchen. Down-to-earth, wholesome, uncomplicated grub. They won’t tell you that in Women’s Weekly. Here’s a few things to think about. Take something simple, add a twist. Like cricket with a frisbee (‘Oh! It’s curved round and hit the stumps!!’), or icefooty, you could try Pumpkin Soup – Moroccan. Or Pumpkin Soup – Thai. Or the classic with cream. Spices are not scary. They’re cheap – you don’t need much. Just don’t sniff them too deeply. There may be pain. Show yourself to be resourceful. Alone with a penknife in the jungle? Woosy. Try navigating the bare leftovers in the fridge. This takes talent. (And courage, if it’s like my fridge.) And then create something interesting from the bits. This also leads to the big one for points: survival. Who the hell can afford groceries anymore? The only

Brothers are doing it for themselves. Adrian Zangger promotes the art of cooking to blokes.

people who buy groceries for every meal are cooking show hosts (and they don’t even pay for it.) Being resourceful, part II. Let it be known that you’re visiting farmers’ markets, looking for local alternatives to supermarkets. Be subtle, not smug. Mention it, maybe, in passing. ‘Just off to the markets!’ You don’t have to mention ‘sustainable’, or even ‘local’. You could drop growers’

names. ‘Picked up some very nice fresh carrots from Rick today‌’ Or, ‘Gill’s broccoli survived the frost. We all took a minute to admire them.’ Or, ‘The rainbow silverbeet’s doing well at Rosco’s. Who’s for a quick curry?’ Talk like this is very cool, and with the way things are going, it can only get cooler. Restaurants specialise in making normal food seem fancy and expensive. Call it like it is. It’s not vichysoisse,

it’s potato soup. And a bloody good one. Grow something. Even parsley in a pot. Then you can say, ‘The parsley’s from the garden‌’ Where possible, do not cook alone. Invite your son, dad, uncle, mate. Cook, drink, talk, laugh. Even cry if you need to. It will add to the flavour. Cooking together is one of the most ancient bonding rituals on the planet. Do not miss out. A kitchen is way better stocked than a shed. Once a week, take it outside. Fire up the Barbie. Refer to Rule One. The trick is to be as comfortable as possible in the kitchen. Do what you need to let it be so. Adrian Zangger, a longtime advocate of men’s rights, has thrown this all together in a little course called Cooking for Men and Boys. He could have called it ‘The Art of Saving Relationships’ or ‘A Stack of Ways to Save Money and be Cool in the Kitchen’. But he didn’t. He spends too much time in the kitchen to think up fancy titles. So Cooking for Men and Boys it is. Although, as he points out, that doesn’t have to mean together. You can do it alone, catch up with other blokes, or with other generations. Some older blokes, faced with the

loss of their wife, are faced with the mystery of the kitchen for the first time, too. Let’s help each other out. And have fun doing it. Shatter the secrets! Steal recipes and change them! Never feel hungry, or the need to reach for home delivery pizza. Make your own. And then you get to have your own

damn toppings, as much you want. As healthy as you want. And you can share the joy. â– Cooking for Men and Boys

Is your paint green?

long after they have dried, as they continue to release petroleum based solvents, called Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) as they cure. It is estimated that each year in Australia more than 80,000 tonnes of VOCs are released into the atmosphere, with the paint industry contributing significantly to this amount. EPA studies have found that the cumulative VOC emissions from architectural painting operations exceed the combined emissions from a variety of industrial operations. VOCs from solvent and paint emissions contribute to harmful ozone formation.

According to the Masters Painters Association, ozone from paint emissions irritates eyes, nose, throat and lungs; reduces breathing capacity even in healthy adults and children; increases susceptibility to infection, hospital visits and admissions; and causes damage estimated to cost over millions of dollars per year to crops and buildings. Another problem with synthetic paints is post-application wastage and disposal. The petrochemical paints that currently dominate the market are predominately derived from oil, a non-renewable resource. Waste needs to be speRTA13260-BSE

Next time you redecorate it is worth considering the environmental impacts of the paints you choose. So says Daniel Wurm, director of GreenPainters, a not-for-profit program promoting sustainable products

and practices in the painting industry. ‘Paints, lacquers and varnishes are among the chemical everyday products that have a particularly distinct effect on environment and health. Solvents, monomers, softening agents, and biocides are only some of the components of these products that present the potential for serious ecological and toxicological risks during their production, manufacture, application, use, and ultimate disposal.’ Paints are a major source of indoor air pollution. Conventional paints can make indoor air a chemical cocktail, even

cially treated to avoid adverse environmental impacts. It has been estimated that watersoluble gloss paints require dilution of 40 million to 1 to render their entry to the sewerage system harmless. ‘Now there are safer alternatives to conventional paints,’ says Mr Wurm of Greenpainters. ‘We are educating painters, builders and architects to use and specify more sustainable products, such as ultralow-voc acrylics or natural paints. ‘It results in better health outcomes, and uses renewable resources for sustainable living. New technology means you can use paint to cut heating and cooling costs, and some paints are even

certified carbon neutral.’ ‘You can have any colour as long as it’s “green”!’, said Mr Wurm. ‘Painting is still an environmentally-friendly thing to do, as it preserves and protects assets, but it has to be done in a way that lessens its impact on natural resources. We are now training painters in the area who are keen to use these products, and learn how to help consumers choose the sustainable option.’ The GreenPainters website greenpainters.com.au provides objective summaries of sustainable paints and coatings, and information to help builders and renovators achieve the look they want while being eco-sensitive and health-conscious.

High priced water prompts early flowering of money tree The cynic is a man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing – Oscar Wilde

Victoria Bitter Stubbies

Mary Gardner

Crisis? What crisis? The economy? Are you sure? Perhaps you are referring to the collapse of natural capital in the Murray-Darling River? Mike Young, of the Wentworth Group of Concerned Scientists, says The Environment itself needs to be guaranteed a percentage share of its own water, especially now after years of drought. The economic principle here is very simple: for every 1% reduction of rainfall there is a 3%-4% reduction in runoff. Young says that the cost of the environmental water acquisitions package is three billion dollars. The infrastructure works ($5.6 billion) should be deferred and more water bought back. There is a plan on the table for an interim basin management program. But as discussions collapse between premiers and the deadlines for state actions ignored, what next? Petitions call for emergency federal intervention. When thirst is so great, what is the true price of water? Rainfall since 2000 in the Murray-Darling Basin has been extremely low. The basin’s inflow in 2006 was the lowest ever recorded. In 2008, the NSW area is considered to be moving out of drought, but so slowly much seems unchanged. There are other major capital collapses also under way right now. Drought is affecting the Mediterranean region and the Southern USA. The rise of 1% in temperature alters the amount of rainfall and evaporation. It is linked to a 15% decrease in water runoff. Since industrialisation, but especially in the past 12 years, global temperatures have risen an average 0.76 °C. Preserving capital value, helping rain to fall, are forests. But according to reports from the UN, 13 million hectares are cut each year and six of these are primary old growth forests. But this is all rather recent news, isn’t it? Here I am still breathlessly awaiting a coordinated global response to the news from 2003. That was when WWF published their Living Planet report, summarising global ecological accounts. Back then, the overshoot (the percentage our human impact has exceeded the biocapacity of the planet’s ecological systems) was 23%. That works like any other bank overdraft. www.echo.net.au

Remember that this kind of thinking began around the 1990s. Ecologists and environmentalists took up accounting in an attempt to put a value on biology. They adopted the language of economics. Catchments could now be seen to offer ‘services’ such as provision of surface and groundwater, sequestering of carbon by vegetation, cleansing of stormwater through wetlands and the like. Animals and plants were ‘resources’ and their value could be calculated. Using this language would alert accountants, business managers and politicians to the true cost of pollution and degradation of habitats. The argument was that if ecologic sense could be expressed in terms of a wholistic economics, these issues would be seen as something well above petty party disputes. Laws and taxation could be logically targeted to take these costs into full account. New calculations were created to put numbers to values which were barely expressed in ledgers before. A popular example of this is William Rees’s Ecological Footprint, which sizes up the lifestyle of a household, a nation, a continent in relation to the carrying capacity of the planet. Oh moneyspeak is working! Sustainability is not only a bookkeeping term. It means ecology in dollars, pounds and yen. Deeper analysis of footprints now requires that input-output analysis, renewable energy scenarios and land disturbance assessments are also used. In 2003, M Lenzen and S Murray did the maths and reported that about half of Australia’s footprint is the result of grazing cows and sheep for export. One hundred and ten million hectares, more than the areas of NSW and Victoria combined, are exploited and

degraded in what is called an environmental ‘race to the bottom’. To maintain exports and ‘living standards’, we, like many other populations, borrow against our natural capital. Increasingly it seems we, like many others, can’t keep up with payments. In late September, Al Gore warned of a subprime carbon catastrophe. Who is collating the trillion dollar rescue package? As the IUCN announced last week, 36% of mammals are threatened with extinction. Who finances the relief work? Sometimes, I get completely worn out with the anxiety brought on by all this reckoning. How did we get to appreciate our local ecologies as ever so many more options for consumer spending? What have we done, now that there is such a price on water? Does ecology fit neatly into a budget? Is it true that we might, as we would a handful of jewels in a shop, actually buy ourselves a river? Is it really, Mr Wilde, to be had for the price of only nine billion dollars? There is, slowly, some relief. The news from field studies raises questions about assumptions in economics and even our society. There is not necessarily a ‘balance’ or a ‘budget’ to nature. There isn’t merely ‘depreciation’ as trees grow old, nor ‘waste’ as dead logs decay. The water cycle isn’t confined to an exclusive set of stakeholders nor is it bound by leases and shares bought and sold. Life itself is beginning to inform economics. We barely understand about abundance, as seen of sunshine, seeds and larvae of the sea. About cooperation, as seen in tiny microbes and cells. About change and continuity, as erosion and accretion of sand alters reefs. About true value, as ‘weeds’ foster ‘native’ seedlings that in turn overgrow them?

Watermelon challenge to kids Junior Landcare’s latest initiative, The Junior Landcare Watermelon Challenge, is ‘set to keep kids across Australia entertained for the entire summer, while inspiring them to think about sustainability and the environment. The Challenge teaches them about local food, “food miles”, healthy eating and encourages them to get out-and-about in the great outdoors.’ The Junior Landcare Watermelon Challenge is a free activity on offer to schools and kids under 16 years. Groups or individuals can register online at www.juniorlandcarechallenge.com (until November 7) to receive their free Watermelon seeds and project kit to take part in this national com-

petition to grow the biggest, fattest, heaviest watermelon in Australia. Upon registration, participants will be sent a packet of Yates Candy Red Watermelon seeds and a booklet containing expert tips for growing. The seeds will be sent out in the week commencing November 10, so schools and kids across Australia can begin the challenge at the same time. The Yates Candy Red Watermelon seeds are highly regarded as one of the fastest growing and largest varieties, known to grow larger than 12 kilos. In addition to tending their watermelons with love and care, kids will be required to log on regularly to record their melon’s circumference

and weight. The final measurements must be provided by March 6, 2009, with the winners set to be announced once judges have verified measurements on March 20. School prizes include a Sony Digital still camera, a worm farm and places at Landcare’s Kids Teaching Kids events around Australia. For individuals, a Sony Playstation and Yates ‘Have a Grow’ pack will be awarded to the winner. To find out more about the Great Watermelon Challenge visit www.juniorlandcarechallenge.com. The world’s biggest watermelon weighed 122kg, and was grown by the Lloyd Bright family in Arkansas, USA, in 2005. www.echo.net.au

Harpooning the attention of politicians Sue Arnold recounts her recent whale lobbying efforts in America My whale journey takes me to many strange places including, most recently, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger’s private toilet in his private office in San Francisco. Pondering while peeing, I considered the karma of sharing the same throne as the Terminator and what it might mean for whales. I scoured the bathroom looking for anything to prove I’d been there. Something to pass onto my grandkids. You know – ‘Remember the story where Grandma peed in Arnie’s toilet? Here’s a piece of the toilet paper to hand down the generations.’ But there was nothing, no embossed toilet paper, towels. Pristine bare white walls, a truly characterless bathroom. I’d just completed an important meeting with the Deputy Director of the Governor’s office on behalf of the California Gray Whale Coalition which my group, Australians for Animals Int. created in the US in March. With member groups from Mexico, the US, Canada, the UK and Australia, the Coalition had attracted many prestigious organisations and millions of members. Azteca America, Azteca Mexico, the largest Hispanic radio and TV stations in the US and Mexico, had signed on. Famed whale biologist Dr Roger Payne has signed on his group, Ocean Alliance. As well, Earth Island Institute, the Humane Society of Canada and prominent Mexican groups joined. We wanted Arnie’s support for the whales and so far, the signs are good.

Marine mirror Later that afternoon, I had a meeting with staffers from Senator Barbara Boxer’s office. She’s the Democrat Majority Chair of an important environmental committee in the Senate, the Coalition needs her support in the campaign. Some background is essential. Basically, the Gray Whale is like the marine mirror of the polar bear. Climate change is wreaking havoc with the whales’ primary prey. As specialist feeders, reliant on ice and cold water, the increase in seawater and air temperature has been disastrous. The oil and gas industry has leases all the way across the whales’ feeding grounds. It is something of a US tragedy that the most ancient baleen whale alive today has almost zero legal protection. Furthermore, most US whale conservation groups won’t touch the species because the Gray Whale is an issue of major political controversy. A native American Indian tribe, the Makah, want to kill www.echo.net.au

over an hour. The idea of anyone killing this majestic ancient whale was and is too appalling to contemplate. Unquestionably, the close encounters I’ve been privileged to enjoy with Gray whales over the last five years in Mexico have been the inspiration for taking on the US government.

resolution which called on President Bush, Speaker of the House and Congress to fund a comprehensive review of the Gray Whale and if the review supported relisting, then steps must be taken to renew the whales’ protection under the Endangered Species Act. A truly historic moment. No other group, American or otherwise, had sought a resolution in the California Parliament to protect the Gray Whales. The next step was to seek support from Pres Bush, Speaker Nancy Pelosi and influential politicians from California. I always try to have a dialogue about appointments with US political luminaries via email. That way, my accent doesn’t get in the way, and I m more likely to get an appointment with key staffers of Senators. Once I get in the door, the first question is ‘Why an Australian? or ‘Are there Gray whales in Australia?’

Globalism My defence is globalism. I always say that if the Humpback whales which migrate up and down our east and west coasts were subjected to the massive threats facing the Gray whale, the Australian public would expect state and federal governments to take all steps, legal and political, to protect the Humpback population. So America had better get its act together. Getting into the office of Speaker Nancy Pelosi proved the most difficult. Security is pretty intense at all federal government offices, but Nancy Pelosi had a veritable bank vault around her. You couldn’t get past security unless you had a US drivers licence, or proof of US identity or a foreign passport. I didn’t have my passport so the key Pelosi staffer I was meeting with had to come down and collect me from security. ‘But you’re Australian,’ she exclaims. Like… ‘Honey, you would never have got in the door if we had any idea…’ However, I got 30 minutes with her and after five, she was really sympathetic, offering mega help and support. That’s what makes this campaign pretty extraordinary. People in positions you least expect to help come forward. Miracles happen and maybe the Gray Whale will regain the legal protection she so desperately needs and deserves. Oh. We gave up on trying to get a meeting with Pres Bush!

Byron artists finalists in power prize Help needed with Artists from the Byron Bay area have achieved their highest representation ever among finalists in Australia’s richest landscape art prize – the $35,000 Country Energy Art Prize for Landscape Painting. This year, seven of the 40 finalists are from the Far North Coast, with six of those artists living in the Byron area and the seventh not far away at Koonorigan, near Nimbin. The seven regional finalists and their submitted artworks are: t "INBE /B[SJ #JO "CEVMlah (Suffolk Park) – Farm House Myocum Road; t %BOJFM $MFNNFUU $MVOFT – Driving Metaphors; t .JDIBFM $POOPMMZ .VMlumbimby) – Sassy; t /J O P .B D % PO B M E (Billinudgel) – Midnight, NSW; t "OHVT .D%POBME -FOnox Head) – Seven Mile Sky; t -ZOOF 8BMMJT #ZSPO #BZ - At the Edge–Cape Byron; and t .JDIBFM 4NJUI ,PPOPSJgan) – Spirits in the rocks, trees and mountains. Country Energy’s regional general manager for the Far North Coast, Brian Glawson, said the 2008 Art Prize attracted a record 439 entries, so to be named a finalist was a great achievement in itself.

A taste for Gin GIN WIGMORE

LIVE MUSIC 24 CULTURE 26 BEATSNBOPS 27 TELLY 28 GIG GUIDE 30 CINEMA 31 EATING OUT 32 PUZZLE 35 STARS 35

From the minute you hear her you know she’s got something. Finally – a beautiful young singer songwriter minus the cutesy little girly voice. Gin Wigmore has a voice that has been likened to whisky and dry. Strange, powerful and enthralling, it runs over your skin like fingernails, leaving a trail of tiny goosies. She stares out from dark ringed eyes, with the Debra Harry platinum blonde, the Patti Smith attitude and the in-your-face passion of Macy Gray. This girl was meant to have a music career, even if she didn’t want to. Universal just weren’t going to let her go that easily. Her first song, written as tribute to her family after the death of her father when she was 17, won the US based International Song writing contest in 2005. She beat 11,000 songwriting aspirants from 77 countries and became the youngest unsigned winner in the history of the ISC. ‘I wrote that when I was 17 – I don’t think I’d fully opened up, I was still a bit of a nasty bitch, so I wrote this song to give to my mum and brother and sister to say I’ve dealt with it, (the death of her father).’ Her sister encouraged her to submit it to the songwriting competition and the rest is history. But for a Kiwi girl who’s so talented, but so delightfully unpretentious, she didn’t feel it was time to launch an international career.

‘I so wasn’t ready for it, when I went to the States and got hunted down by record companies I was turning up in track pants, I was just like – no I don’t want to live in the States and no I don’t want to do that. People would say, what’s wrong with you? I was like, what’s wrong with you guys – I got two songs. You have to be hungry for the job to really make it work. ‘I went back to New Zealand and started a teaching degree and did that for a while and then decided that wasn’t what I wanted to do and then Universal records in the UK flew me over to do some songwriting – I think there were a lot of musicians going I hate you Gin, we bust our bum doing horrible gigs for years, and you have two songs! But I guess I was in the right place at the right time – it’s weird everytime I try and stray from it it comes back to my face again. When I was in the UK I got a taste of the rockstar lifestyle, I was so excited the first time I had Evian water and mints and a magazine in the car, and I’m like can I have some of these? I stuffed ‘em in my bag! I came back and thought I’ll keep doing music, I’ll keep writing at least. I broke up with my boyfriend, went to the Gold Coast and just partied for six months to get over it. Universal were like please can we do something with the music we’ll sign you out of Australia, so I moved to Sydney and here I am. I decided I’d work hard at

that from then I have been working really really hard ever since.’ Gin’s EP Extended Play reflects the writing talents of this very passionate girl. ‘I don’t really do things in halves – I need to have passion and drama behind a song to make it real. I lose interest in things so quickly but if I have a real drive I can get really involved.’ In one song, These Roses Gin muses over a crush that, she laughs, turned into an obsession and then turned into a song. ‘I do it all the time, I am such a loser, I become obsessed and butterflies and all those stupid things, I was stoked that it turned into something – although I don’t think my boyfriend really liked it that much, we keep it under wraps – I had to do an interview and explain what it was and he’s like: “Fuck Gin”... he was sitting next to me!’ Gin’s vocal stylings reflect her intensity. They are passionate and powerful performances. ‘The song can take you back, it’s a bit tough sometimes when you play a live show because it’s a real journey, because I have been through three breakups in one set!’ Her songwriting keeps her positive about facing life’s tougher challenges. ‘It’s the one joyous thing about having hardships – you get to write a wicked song, it’s win win!’

Bondi – A Voyeur’s Dream Last week I had the pleasure of spending the morning on Bondi Beach. It’s unbelievable. In the dictionary next to ‘wanker’ they have a snap of an old bloke in dick togs oiled up and stretching his calves. Bondi is a poser magnet. If you crave attention, then it’s definitely the beach for you. I am walking with the kids when I encounter one of the many morning exercisers. Good to see people working out, but really, does this sinewy middle-aged man, who’s seen so much sun he’s starting to look like a BBQ spare rib, have to do his post-jog leg-stretches in public? We’re talking flappy shorts. You know the ones. With one leg thrust on a metal bar for maximum glute release the kids and I get an eyeful of his hairy scrotum. You couldn’t miss it, it was almost hitting his knee. Suddenly I am surrounded. There’s at least 20 blokes stretching in flappy shorts all freely displaying their happy sacs. I laugh with the kids ‘that’s enough to put you off your sausage sandwich.’ We try and find a position with slightly less ball bag action. A bit further down the beach we are amazed by the blokes who are so buff they can’t

put their arms by their side. One fellow is so built in the thigh department I notice he can’t really walk down stairs. Instead he gives up and just parades on the promenade in his tight white lycra budgie smugglers. Although with him, I’d swear he’d tried to sneak in a pigeon. That’s just the men. The women are worse. These are the people the skin cancer council will never reach. Better to be manifesting a melanoma than be caught in a hat with a daggy tshirt and sunscreen. I’m surprised they’re not all having unprotected sex and smoking at the same time. There’s a woman whose decided that yoga is best performed with an audience of at least 1000 spectators. She’s on all fours in a Brazilian bikini performing down face dog. Bondi Beach is a pubic hair free zone. In fact every bit of body hair is gone. I’m surprised there’s not a towel to towel waxing service to polish genitals and smooth those European backs. After about half an hour of people watching I made my final observation. This is the Bondi Pilates crowd. You know the types. Drop a pill, drink a latte and go fuck I’m fabulous!

Two decades of Blues and Roots It’s that time of year again – Early Bird Tix to The Blues and Roots Festival go on sale from Thursday for this much loved event held over Easter 2009 – April 9 – 13. Early Bird ticket prices are a great opportunity to get in on the ground floor, make your travel plans earlier this year, book accommodation, and secure what you need for a great weekend. New features this year are Family Festival Tickets and a Blues Buddy Package which offer further savings – also discounted with Early Bird pricing. Artist announcements are due midNovember, so stay tuned. The festival will spend one more year at Belongil Fields, before working towards holding the festival at its new home at Tyagarah Tee Tree Farm, 10 minutes outside of Byron Bay, when the event turns 21 in 2010. www.bluesfest.com.au.

On the stage Ronan Ronan creates his music completely live as he goes which adds a spectacular element to his performances, where the audience find themselves singing along to Ronan’s catchy melodies. Ronan is surrounded by an array of different acoustic instruments and a loop pedal, creating political but poetic, lighthearted yet heavy, haphazard songs. Ronan experiments with sounds, fiddling with things, keeping himself busy and creating his own universe – amusing, entertaining and poetic all at the same time. Armed with this electronic cacophony and with perfect musical precision, Ronan records two bars of accordion, the hit of a cymbal, the strum of a banjo – all this becomes the soundtrack to Ronan’s comic, enchantingly composed for the public under their noses. He then begins to sing his surrealist poetry and lyrics, interspersed with many jokes. Another Ku Promotions presentation, Friday at Bangalow Catholic Hall. Tix are $20 at the door.

The addictive tunes of Tijuana Cartel Gold Coast’s Tijuana Cartel express phenomenal diversity and introduce a somewhat intelligent and original sound to the ear, bringing flamenco guitar, slide guitar, MCs, trumpet, live and electronic percussion and scratch DJs to the live forum. Their tunes meander their way across the bumpiest musical terrain, a rhythmic body moved with stately deliberation creating inspiring and infectious rhythms that you just cannot help but dance to. Their performances are a concoction of multilayered grooves, splashes of Middle Eastern vocals, lilting Moby-esque soundscapes, Flamenco and slide guitar, trumpet, electronic world beats and percussion all randomly supported by poetic social commentary

Story Workshops Story Telling From the Heart

Art Hele goes off

Jenni Cargill of the Story Tree continues to spread the gift of narrative throughout the shire. Her latest ACE courses encourage people to re-engage with the oral tradition of telling stories. Through the magical world of story be playfully guided on a journey within. Discover the power and beauty of your own life stories, the timeless archetypes they embody and their place within the collective well of folklore. Creative ways to reimagine yourself and enhance confidence, presentations and relationships are just some of the precious gifts you will take away from the storyteller’s toolbox. In this workshop participants will work on telling from the heart and ‘casting the golden net’ over their listeners. Some of the concrete skills touched on will be vocal sound effects, vocal variation, pauses, and character voices. The

One of our most prolific, productive and well known fine artists will be on the road again. Hele Ellis’ focus earlier this year was on Europe, with a successful solo exhibition held in southern Germany, but this time she will follow leads in the US, as her magnetic abstract colour compositions have found inviting resonance thus far. Hele expresses in her abstracts the very inner dialogue between seeking and receiving, the heart’s way to oneself, community and nature. Hele Ellis’ understanding of composition goes beyond the average public expectation: it leads the viewer to experience the unseen and impossible, a lighthearted bold approach to one’s innermost depths. Light and dark are Hele Ellis’ harmonious segue, her expression of radiance and shadow. She transforms form and flow, composes shadings in colour fields to have ones’

own innermost soul qualities surface. As a contemporary painter, Hele Ellis is committed to insight and inspiration for a rapid time of change, maintaining fluidity as context of understanding. Likewise do her works radiate timelessness bringing into this world aspects of a vision to be fulfilled. Send Hele off on her travels by joining her in her studio at 64 Centennial Circuit, Arts and Industry Estate, on Friday from 6pm onwards. Expect drinks and music in celebration, with prices of art works that will see some collectors in the making.

He will also discuss the latest dangers facing whales with info on what people can do. Japan still plans to kill 50 humpback whales and 900 Minke whales this summer in the Antarctic unless they can be convinced otherwise.

A: ‘The best gigs for us is where we realise about three quarters of the way through that we have them in the palm of our hands, so we can start taking them wherever we want to go, and try to push the boundaries a bit and play a lot less safe. It’s not often that we get that vibe but when it happens it’s magic.

1. The Late Show with David Letterman (Ten, weekdays 11.15pm) would be a feather in Ten’s cap if the channel didn’t keep switching episodes. One night they are recent, on another they’re months old, and sometimes they’re repeats from a few weeks ago. Letterman is fine but which station will step up and carry Jon Stewart or Stephen Colbert? 2. Marlon Brando stars in The Night of the Following Day (ABC2, Saturday 8.30pm), a creepy old thriller with a surprise ending. 3. Brando must be flavour of the week as the director’s cut known as Apocalypse Now Redux screens on Ten (Sunday, 10.50pm) – all three and half hours of it. The horror, the horror‌

whether it’s Kylie or the Dalai Lama, so I happily anticipated the screen company in this of three favourites – pure of heart Kirsten Dunst, craggy cynic Jeff Bridges and dorky comic Simon Pegg. Which is more than a little ironic, given that its aim is to tear strips off the PR machine that creates the blinding façades of such luminaries. Indie publisher Sidney (Pegg) is a philandering, self-deluding tosser who seems destined

to have a career dodging lawsuits in his cramped offices above a London kebab shop. He jumps at the opportunity when Clayton Harding (Bridges), a once-was cutting edge journo now cosy in the top floor editor’s suite, offers How To Lose Friends him a job at Sharps, a glossy And Alienate People NYC periodical. Sidney meets We often look forward to a Alison (Dunst) on the shift that film for the simple reason that reports on the comings and we like the actors involved. goings of the A-list, and he Few of us are immune to longs to ‘comfort the afflicted the magnetism of stardom, and afflict the comfortable’. In particular, he wants to get stuck into a hip young director, a prodigy in black who believes that cinema history begins with Quentin Tarantino (know the type?). But Sidney soon learns that his iconoclasm will not get him very far in the Big Apple and that status is won through galling compromise. Pegg is more hard-edged than his FRIDAY OCT 31 6.30pm Hot Shorts American counterpart Steve inc Soar + New Boots Carrell, but he has a similar 8.15pm The Tracker talent for getting you to squirm with embarrassment SATURDAY NOV 1 – a scene at a high-glam 4pm Surf Classic The Innermost Limits of Pure Fun Manhattan nightclub where 6pm The Gods Must Be Crazy he clears the floor of the 8.30pm North Coast Premiere gorgeous babes he is trying Lemon Tree to impress with his gyrations is priceless. ‘My glory is in my SUNDAY NOV 2 doom,’ he quotes knowingly 2.30pm Children’s Film Nim’s Island from the movie Troy, making 7.15pm Feature it hard for Alison, and the The Station Agent viewer, to hold a grudge + short film – Derailed against the bloke.

The last shot – with an outdoor screening of La Dolce Vita, dancing lovers and the Brooklyn Bridge at night – is as sweetly reverential an image as Woody Allen might have come up with in his more romantic period, and it ensured that I left the theatre as elated as I banked on being when I entered. Highly recommended. ~ John Campbell

the screening (Civic Hall, Sat 8.30pm) of a new release of such quality and differentness. Deconstructing a story as big and nasty as that of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict might have resulted in the fruitless pettiness of oversimplification, but writer/ director Eran Riklis has skillfully avoided that pitfall in this poignant representation of the seemingly intractable problems faced by the people of that troubled area. Widowed Salma owns a lemon grove that is situated in the border zone between Israel and the West Bank. Its trees were planted by her father and, with her absent son working as a busboy in America, they are now all she has. When the Israeli Defence Minister, Navon, moves into a house adjoining her property, the Secret Service deems Salma’s leafy grove a security threat to Navon because of its potential to conceal snipers and bomb throwers. The trees must go, but Salma challenges the order, taking her case to the supreme court. A flashpoint comes when, preparing a banquet, Navon learns that the caterers have no lemons – the only ‘as if’ contrivance in a script that combines earthiness with moments of graceful symbolism. ‘We only wanted a few lemons,’ says Mira, Navon’s wife, to which Salma, tying a scarf around her head, stands her ground in a gesture of quiet resistance. Nor is it without touches of levity – a tower guard’s taped English lessons are comprised of absurd sentences which typify the sort of convoluted logic that political leaders are incapable of dropping when prognosticating on major issues (such as the Middle East), and Salma’s lawyer, Daud, absently smells his fingers for the sardines that he has been unable to stop eating since living in Moscow. Putting aside the mentality that it attacks, it stands on its own as a striking film with compelling performances across the board, but notably from Hiam Abbass, whose Salma is a woman of tremendous dignity, and Doron Tavory, who is sickeningly good as the unctuous politician. Praised elsewhere for its even-handedness, I found it unequivocally pro Palestinian, but understandably so, for Salma’s plight, and her people’s, warrant our sympathy. Meanwhile, though tagged a ‘children’s film’, the terrific Nim’s Island (Sun, 2.30pm) offers a lot for the adult viewer as well, and if you still haven’t seen The Station Agent (Sun, 7.15 pm) then you’ve missed one of the biggest hearted movies of recent times. Check it out. ~ John Campbell

NEW YUMM MENU available NOW 7HO LQIR#FRUHKDSSLQHVV FRP

Ah, the language of menus! Menus make fascinating reading matter, telling you much about the establishment and often offering insights possibly not even intended. It surprises me that, even in highly reputable places, more care and attention have not been lavished on the compilation of a menu; it is, after all, what determines the patrons’ choices and is in effect what promotes the dishes available. The words are incredibly important and not only their phrasing but also – and this is an ongoing source of personal offence – their spelling (with ‘prosciutto’ probably topping the list of most-repeated offenders). In an unfamiliar city or a foreign country it is the menu, mostly, which will either lure me in by its content and its presentation or equally repel me – and one which is riddled with grammatical and spelling errors will only suggest to me that the food is every bit as sloppy. The word ‘menu’ is French in origin, deriving from the Latin ‘minutus’ which means ‘something made small’. It is, the Oxford Dictionary tells us, the ‘bill of fare’, a printed brochure or public display showing the list of options for a diner to select. The original menus were prepared on a small chalkboard – ‘carte’ in French – giving rise to the expression ‘a la carte’ for those dishes selected ‘according to the board’. The earliest known menu was discovered by an archaelogist in 1922: excavating the pyramid containing the tomb of a thenunidentified Egyptian prince, he came across the various courses of a celebratory meal carved in hieroglyphics on stone tablets. (It was garlic in sour cream; barley soup; salmon; roast pig; goats cheese; honeycakes; fresh dates and pomegranates – a heavenly menu even by today’s standards – and it was in honour of the birth of twins, one of whom was later to become Ramses III.) This was, however, more a working list, instructions as to preparation and order of the various dishes which was how menus were up until the 15th century, when the

Florentine humanist and philosopher Sacchi wrote a classic treatise showing how menus should be constructed. He suggested that meals be introduced with light delicate dishes and end with sweets or cheeses. It wasn’t until the end of the 18th century that menus as we know them today came into being. Up until then, most public eating places were inns where all diners were served the same thing, determined by the proprietor or by kitchen staff. It is amusing that these days the most exclusive and avant garde restaurants are those where the diner will be served what is dictated by the kitchen – and of course the ongoing mania for degustation menus is another version of this. It was eventually decided that diners had the right to choose the dishes that most pleased them. This radical notion originated in France and caught on quickly elsewhere – as, subsequently, did the practice in the 1920s of offering clients individual menus. It’s not only spelling and grammatical gaffes which can undo a menu – it’s often the actual prose. Those full-blown descriptions of dishes which list every ingredient and every cooking technique leave me utterly cold; by the time I have waded through the verbosity there is no mystery left and I feel as if I have already consumed the dish. I recently made lists of menu words which trigger my hunger and those which turn me right off. The former included the following: seared; sticky; falling-off-the-bone; crumble; crisp-skinned; glazed; crusty; shredded; buttered; slow-roasted; soft-centred – while the latter included blood orange; sorbet; battered; soil; emulsion; crispy; stack; foam; breaded; shaved; dust; baked milk skin and, strangely, organic! Fernand Point (1897-1955), considered the father of modern French cuisine, should have the final word on a menu’s function. According to him it should be ‘pleasing (to) the eye and the other senses... for if the menu is not appealing, the people will lose their appetites and their desire to part with their money...’

FOOD, WINE, MUSIC Anyone heading toward the Coffs Coast around November 6-9 could do worse than stop off for their annual Food and Wine Festival. Launched at the Growers’ Market in Coffs city centre on Thursday 6, it will then spread itself out over the weekend, with events taking place in nearby Woolgoolga, Sawtell and Coffs Harbour itself. The highlight may well be the Intents Events Live Show on the Saturday evening, a charity event for Camp Quality, which kicks off from 7pm through till midnight. Artists such as Phil Emmanuel, Groove Robbers and Ghost Road will entertain you at the beautiful creek-side location of Park Beach Reserve and there will be plenty of food and drink stalls. More music will be happening the following day when Cool Creek Rhythms, the Festival’s main event, takes place. From 10am onward there will be wine tastings and offerings from local and regional eateries, with the whole Festival wrapping up around 5pm.

MITEY CHEESE Slow Food’s biennial Salone del Gusto – essentially a gigantic showcase for the movement, consisting of exhibitions, tastings and food and wine related events – has just taken place in Turin, Italy. One of its incentives, Terra Madre, brings producers from all over the world to display their wares, and one such delegate this year, a 21 year old German theology student, brought along his mite cheese. The tradition of producing cheese using mites originated in the Middle Ages and consists of a well-drained curd cheese which ripens in wooden boxes with special cheese mites, taking between 3 to 6 months in the process. The cheese apparently has a very distinctive aroma, with bitter notes.

WITH LILITH THIS WEEK DRAWS THE LIBRAN VELVET GLOVE OFF SCORPIO’S STEEL FIST AND GETS RIGHT DOWN TO IT. THERE’S AN INVISIBLE DRAMA CHARGE IN THE AIR – PASSIONATE, VOLATILE AND DEFINITELY ON THE SULTRY SIDE… ARIES: This week’s about control: not over others, but your fiery Aries self. If you can zip the lip, stay cool and surrender having to always be right (humility works wonders), then midweek new moon could take relationships to a whole new level – especially between you and yourself. TAURUS: Getting into the mindset that present difficulties have a beneficial side makes it

GEMINI: A convivial, stimulating but emotionally taxing week. Don’t let purposeful people who won’t take no for an answer pressure you into anything you know needs a lot more thought, consideration and preparation. Stay buoyant – a light heart’s the best antidote to weighty situations. CANCER: Don’t want to set off an emotional neutron bomb this week? Then refrain from bitchy comments and cutting remarks. Refine what you want to say till you can present it without an edge, then others will be receptive rather than reactive. Why let money dramas poison your life anyway? LEO: With dynamic midweek new moon potentizing your pleasure potential this is a great week for entertaining, though with intimate numbers rather than enormous hordes. Drama

hooks are large, but also largely avoidable if you refuse to engage in petty power plays. VIRGO: Don’t even think about wasting midweek new moon on laundry or emails – not when it’s such prime healing time for reconciliation and resolution. If that’s not on your agenda then get out into the beat on the street, explore the social buzz and do something daring… LIBRA: Yes, an important core decision about your life direction needs to be made, but relax the internal tug of war – because if you ever wanted to let go of something and make a new start, this week gives you strong backup for making the hard choices and sticking to them. SCORPIO: With Sun, Mars and new moon in Scorpio, this week’s all about you. It’s your annual transformational power boost of rebirth, renewal and realizations – your time to let go of the past, make future plans and drop habits holding you back. Happy birthday Scorps. SAGITTARIUS: With Venus boosting your social charisma there’s so much going on this week you’re in overdrive and

your mind’s working overtime, though nothing new about that. You mightn’t be in the mood for advice, but something that seems highly desirable could be carrying a sting in its tail… CAPRICORN: The upside of being a self stresser is that you’re the one who can press the stop button. If you’ve been grappling with a problem, reaching out this week could lift your spirits to reveal quite exciting possibilities in what looked like blanket doom and gloom. AQUARIUS: Thank your lucky stars if this week’s people are ignoring you – otherwise they’d be trying to run your life. In extreme weeks like these, some things succeed brilliantly while others inexplicably fall flat – fluctuations designed to challenge your Aquarian ingenuity and flexibility. PISCES: Rather than letting this week’s secrets-and-whispers scenario bend you out of shape, use it to get crystal clear about what you want. You’re the one in charge of your feelings – aren’t you? Midweek new moon brings either a breakthrough or a lucky break.

CHESS by Ian Rogers

Barring a dramatic collapse, early next week Viswanathan Anand will be crowned the 15th World Chess Champion. The 38-year-old Indian Grandmaster has been completely dominant in his 12 game World Championship match in Bonn, Germany, against Vladimir Kramnik, the player who took the world title from the legendary Garry Kasparov in 2000.

Putting the ping in your pong

Surf carnival at Byron SLSC Byron Bay Surf Club renaissance continued with the juniors putting in outstanding performances at the first FNC surf carnival for the season at their home beach. All of Byron’s open competitors missed the carnival due to work commitments putting the pressure on their U19, U17 and U15 competitors. They responded well with many showing the results of hard work in the off season.

Byron’s girls continued their dominance of local carnivals with National U17 Ironperson champion Shannon HulbertGreen winning the Open and U17, Swim, Board and Ironperson races easily. Sixteen year old Shannon joined 15 year old Emily Battese and 17 year old Tahnee Flemming to comfortably win the Open Women’s Taplin. Shannon had a huge weekend competing at the High

School regional carnival at Port Macquarie on Friday, winning the Cudgen Classic Ironperson on Saturday before winning 7 golds and 3 silvers at the Byron carnival. In the Open Men’s Ski Relay the Byron A team of 15 year olds Torrie Callan with Tom and Alex Burns came second. This young team will be a threat at major carnivals for the next couple of years in the U17 ski relay.

Barb got it in one

The Mullumbimby Golf Club and Rusty Marsden hosted the 58th continuously sponsored Marsden Mixed Canadian event on Sunday. Thirty-eight competitors played in the tournament which was won by John and Patti Gadowwski, however the highlight of the day was a hole in one scored on the 12th by long-time lady member Barb Woolnough. ‘I just aimed at the hole and hit it,’ said Barb after potting her first ace and now she has a taste for it she has set her sights on getting a few more.

Mullum hosts Hospital Olympics

Walker is a Mover and Shaker It was a clash of the states when Novocastrian Tony Walker beat Roger Micallef from Melbourne at the 2008 East Coast ‘Movers and Shakers’ Backgammon Tournament held at the Bangalow Bowling Club recently. This is the second year in a row that Tony has taken home the winners prize in a final that entranced many of the other participating players as a match of skill that went right to the wire. Roger Micallef kicked off with some great early play and had Tony Walker really sweating for most of the match, but in the end it was Walker’s steady play that won the day.

Members of the Mighty Mullum Meadows Misfits, Matt Long, Eamonn McKeown, Lynne King and goalie Marc Heyning, played in both the mixed soccer and netball in a gruelling day of competiton at the Mullum sports fields. Photo Tree Faerie.

This year the 32nd Interhospital Olympics were hosted by Mullumbimby Hospital. Organised by a hard-working team of local volunteers, including staff at Mullumbimby Hospital and Community Health, the two-day sporting fiesta featured 11 sports ranging from kayaking to lawn bowls, surfing, table tennis, soccer and touch football. Around 300 competitors, from statewide health facilities converged on Mullum to compete in both individual and team events. The aim of the Interhospital Olympics is to promote healthy lifestyle, fitness and social interaction between the state’s health workers.

This year, Mullumbimby Hospital, the smallest hospital to ever run the event, welcomed over 300 participants and about 230 of those competed in events at the same venue, as tennis, netball, soccer, and touch football were held at the central sports fields opposite the Mullumbimby High School. Other venues for events were swimming at the Mullumbimby Pool, lawn bowls at the Mullumbimby Bowling Club, surfing at Byron, golf at the Mullumbimby Golf Club and a very rowdy and hotly contested Darts Comp held at the Ex-Services Club in Mullum on Friday. Brunswick Heads hosted the

kayaking and the swim/run events on Thursday afternoon on the Brunswick River. The Olympic Dinner was held on Thursday evening at the Ex-Services Club in Mullumbimby and nearly 200 of the athletes relaxed and enjoyed themselves after a hectic day of competition. Local winners in the event were Byron Bay Hospital in the mixed soccer and the Mighty Mullum Meadows Misfits came second in the mixed netball, a fantastic effort as the team completed an exhausting Olympics playing between the netball courts and the soccer fields. The overall medal tally is still being counted.

Competitors from Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane as well as the current Australian Open Champion Jay Deva, joined local players from Nimbin, Mullumbimby, Ocean Shores and Byron Bay to play in the tournament. After the first day of six 7pt matches, sixteen players progressed to the knockout stages for the second day. The tournament has increased in numbers each year and competitors were very positive in their feedback both on the facilities at the Bangalow bowlo and organisation of the competition. Ohter winner in the tournament were: second overall,

Byron Primary runs at Homebush This outstanding group of athletes, united by team spirit ,have for the last 4 months won every race they have entered. First the Brunswick district, then the Far North Coast Zone carnival, followed by the North Coast Regional Titles. They recently travelled to the NSW PSSA State Championships held at Olympic Park at Homebush in Sydney to take on the might of all schools

from across the State. Tracey Barnes and Jack Phelps tirelessly trained these fine athletes who qualified fastest for the final at the State event, in which the girls ran their hearts out. Hannah Plater age 12 started them out, Annabel deVere Tyndall age 11 ran down the back straight, Rhiannon Clarke age 12 rounded the home stretch and Niki Baltik-

ova age 12 anchored the run, the team bringning home the runners up pennant and silver medals after being pipped at the post. The girls who are in grade 5 and 6 at Byron Primary have only been running as a team this season, but they all compete individually with Niki and Annabel being age champions at Byron Bay Little Athletics.

The Byron Primary 4x100 team: Hannah Plater, coach Tracey Barnes, Rhiannon Clarke, Niki Baltakova and Annabel deVere Tyndall.

It’s coming up to that time of year again when the girls of the shire have way too much as Serena Adams from Surfing Byron Bay and Rip Curl hosts the 18th annual ‘Rip Curl Girls Go Surfing Day’. In previous years as many as 6000 participants have enjoyed this allgirl event and Serena is keen to see more girls in the lineup this year. The idea of the all girl day is to promote the sport without the pressure that can sometimes keep girls out of the water when they are in mixed company. Surfing is one of the exciting growth markets in women’s sport at the moment and the

‘Girls Go Surfing Day 2008’ will be promoting this fact. Surfing is a healthy outdoor activity and the event will be actively promoting healthy lifestyle choices. All lessons will be presented by Surfing Australia Accredited coaches with an emphasis on fun and safety. The GGSD 2008 will take place on November 15 and 16 at our local beaches and will cost $40 per participant, the price includes a learn to surf lesson, board and wetsuit hire and a Rip Curl show bag. For more information contact Surfing Byron Bay on 66857099 or register at www. surfingaustralia.com.

tinues today, making him the perfect choice to play 17 year old Jesse, a brooding, edgy blue-collar kid with attitude. ‘What appealed to me about playing Jesse was that he’s so multi-layered and so misunderstood,’ Lachlan explained. ‘He’s grown up in a very, very working class world with a self-imposed pressure to get out of that. He’s got a lot of anger in him. But a lot of potential too.’ The film also stars veteran actors Barry Otto and Anthony Hayes. The actors playing Jesse’s friends are all great surfers as well as actors, and the audience know they are watching real surfers in real waves and real situations. The surf competition judges are played by real life sports icons Layne Beachley, Andrew Johns, Mark Richards and Matt Hoy. Tickets are $15 or $12.50 for students, concession and Screenworks members, and are on sale now at Byron Cinemas.
