over No greater thrill than teacups at high speed Concern Splendour DA modifications Public submissions to a Section 96 application to modify consent conditions for the Splendour in the Grass festival (DA 10.2007.462.1) at Yelgun close on Thursday November 20.

Some proposed modifications have concerned residents, including extending the music cut-off time from midnight to 2am, and introducing ‘moveable dwellings’ into an area allocated for primitive camping.

The modifications would also see the deletion of consent conditions to include fauna culverts under Jones Road and to upgrade a crown road for emergency evacuation.

Submissions can be made to council@byron.nsw.gov.au or The General Manager, Byron Shire Council, PO Box 219, Mullumbimby, NSW 2482.

Splendour grants

Scarlett Donovan (12), Lily Gregory (13) and Phoebe Tieman (12) have way too much fun on the teacups at the Mullumbimby Public School Spring Fair on Friday. All three girls are students of Mullumbimby Christian School and Lily and Scarlett were previously students of Mullumbimby Public. The fair is an annual fundraiser for the school and also included entertainment, stalls and a fireworks finale. Photo Lou Beaumont.

Song and ceremony part of Beggars Banquet Byron’s third annual Beggars Banquet will be celebrated with song, ceremony and merriment on Saturday December 13 at Railway Park, say organisers.

Coordinator Ian Leggo says, ‘The traditional concept of a Beggar’s Banquet is a feast in which all members of the community come together in a spirit of equality, friendship and celebration. We are all beggars asking for fairness, respect and compassion.

These sentiments are particularly important to embrace leading up to Christmas.’

The Banquet will feature a free community feast, accompanied by a smorgasbord of music, performance and dance, with some of the shire’s best-loved acts all lining up to be on the bill. This is an all-ages, multicultural and family-friendly event.

The previous two Beggars Banquets resulted in donated items being distributed to the needy, and financial donations ‘used to facilitate the resolution of issues surrounding homelessness within the Byron Shire’.

Lockers have been purchased for the Byron Youth Service, for a trial of a

storage facility for homeless youth in the region. All proceeds from this year’s Banquet will go towards supporting a drop-in centre in Byron.

Organisers are inviting the community to give generously: donations of food for the Banquet, cash or goods for redistribution or a raffle are welcome.

All those wishing to volunteer can contact Ian on 6680 7304 or 0403 178 451. Photographers and filmmakers interested in documenting this event please contact Harsha on 6680 7380 or 0434 490 737.

The Beggars Banquet is a community cultural initiative of the Byron Neighbourhood Resource Centre and is supported by Byron Youth Service, St Vincent de Paul, The Salvation Army, Byron Anglican and Uniting Churches, Byron Community & Cultural Centre, Byron Environment Centre, Byron Emergency Accommodation Project, BCCC Homeless Breakfast, Community Incubator Youth Crew, with insurance from Island Quarry and financial assistance from Byron Shire Council.

In related news, applications for the 2009 Splendour in the Grass Community Grants Program have opened. Community groups have been invited to lodge submissions for the festival’s next round of grants, with the eight previous Splendour In the Grass festivals seeing a total of $205,000 distributed through the grants program.

The $35,000 raised through this year’s program went to Byron Bay Hospital Auxiliary and WIRES Northern Rivers. In 2007, the same amount was directed to the Byron Youth Service. Previous recipients included the Belongil Restoration Project, the Youth Activities Centre and Byron Environment Centre.

With the event’s move to the new site at Yelgun/Wooyung, organisers expect to dedicate over $40,000 to the 2009 grants program. Money is raised for the program via a $2 contribution per ticket sold.

Interested parties can email the Splendour general manager for more information at answers@splendourinthegrass.com.

BYS friends program launched in style Lou Beaumont

The Byron Youth Service officially launched its ‘Friends of the BYS’ initiative on Melbourne Cup Day with a lunch at the Byron@Byron Resort.

Supporters of the BYS gathered to sign up as ‘Friends’.

For a $20 annual subscription, members are supporting the BYS which in turn supports the young people of the Shire through education programs, support networks, activities and mentor programs.

Nicqui Yazdi of the MindRight Institute, a local training organisation specialising in mental health and wellbeing courses, told The Echo, ‘The youth of the Byron Shire need help and need supporting.

‘We have some unusual statistics here, we have double the national average of single parents and double the national average of young people living in the Shire. Anything that helps local youth is worth supporting, and it’s not just about problematic youth issues, many of them have business ideas but don’t know how to ask for help.

‘I have two daughters, 12 and 22 years. My eldest has been involved with the YAC

and my youngest will soon.

Supporting the BYS means supporting my kids in turn.’

Architect, parent, BYS volunteer and now Friend of the BYS, Frank Stewart, agrees, ‘I was aware of the issues around teenage kids in the Shire but they have come into personal relevance now that my 13 year old niece has come to live with us. She was involved in

a program called Youth Street in Townsville which she responded really well to.

‘It was much like the BYS in the sense that it gave local children a positive environment where they were able to get together with other kids their age. I think the Friends of BYS is a great scheme – anything that provides support for the young is good. We

need the services the BYS provide, we need to keep families in the Shire.’

All ‘Friends’ who join up in November go into a draw to win prizes donated by local businesses in the health, beauty and fitness industries totalled at more than $5,000.

To become a Friend of the BYS sign up online at www. bys.org.au or call 6685 7777.

Local rainbow dreams to visit Woodstock Organisers of a unique local cultural archive have been invited to exhibit at a special alternative vision expo to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Woodstock Festival in the US next year.

‘Some Children of the Dream’ – which explores the genesis and subsequent development of the alternative movement in the rainbow region – will be on show at the Woodstock Museum during the Woodstock anniversary in August 2009.

Environmental artist Benny Zable, initiator of the Rainbow Bridge idea, said, ‘With the winds of change blowing across the globe, the 40th anniversary of the Woodstock Festival offers everyone an

unprecedented opportunity to celebrate and promote a sustainable cultural, social, economic and spiritual vision to the world, especially to the youth. And we from the rainbow region are uniquely placed to make a contribution to this emerging global vision for a peaceful planet.’

Plans are also under way to feature the exhibit at Ecofest, the largest environmental festival on the east coast of the US, held in New York in September 2009, on the grounds of the Lincoln Centre.

A sample from the exhibit can be viewed at www. somechildren.net and this archive is currently being updated. Through photographs and text it maps out the cul-

tural and spiritual legacy of the movement and the ideas and institutions it gave birth to, including recognition of the resurgence of traditional Aboriginal culture, living in community in harmony with the land, and appropriate technology including wind, water and solar energy.

The project curators are interested to hear from activists, cultural visionaries, archivists, writers and photographers who may wish to contribute material to this cultural archive.

The organisers hope to publish a book and compile a music, film and video archive to travel with the exhibit. They are also talking up the idea of a cultural troupe from the

rainbow region to visit Woodstock and New York and are inviting expressions of interest from local sponsors to help them produce a content-rich cultural connction.

Co-curator of the show, Harsha Prabhu, said, ‘The sixties, the decade that gave birth to the Woodstock generation, were a time of crisis and change, but also a time of dreams. With the current crisis that the world faces – poverty, wars, environmental disasters, climate change, faltering economies – it is now time to dream again.’

For more information on ‘Some Children of the Dream’ contact Harsha at 6680 7380, 0434 490 737 or email somechildren@yahoo.com.au.

To coincide with the launch of a range of muesli bars and Walkabout mixes based on macadamia nuts, local business Brookfarm has teamed up with Rainforest Rescue to protect rainforest habitat for the critically endangered Cassowary in far north Queensland’s Daintree Rainforest.

‘We always wanted to create unique, sustainable agriculture and we’ve planted thousands of rainforest trees on our property. Our support for Rainforest Rescue’s Daintree Buyback and Protect Forever Project is just another step towards closing the sustainability loop,’ said Brookfarm co-owner, Martin Brook.

Since Brookfarm’s beginnings in 1988, Pamela and Martin Brook have planted over 30,000 rainforest and eucalypt trees on their macadamia farm at St Helena.

‘As farmers, we recognise the important relationship between the environment and the success of our business.

By planting rainforest trees and attracting native wildlife, we’ve dramatically reduced the number of pests that affect our harvest,’ said Mr Brook.

‘Brookfarm is delighted that we can assist Rainforest Rescue in their important work in preserving Australia’s tropical rainforests. The protection of precious areas like the Daintree is so important

in the fragile world we live in. This project is also a great way to involve our customers in important environmental issues.’

With the support of individuals and businesses like Brookfarm, Mullumbimby based Rainforest Rescue has

been purchasing rainforest properties in the heart of the Daintree that have been under threat of being cleared since 2000.

Youth goes off at YAC show EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST SPLENDOUR IN THE GRASS COMMUNITY GRANTS PROGRAM FUNDING FOR COMMUNITY GROUPS FROM THE 2009 SPLENDOUR IN THE GRASS FESTIVAL

The organisers of SPLENDOUR IN THE GRASS invite Expressions of Interest from community groups from within the Byron Shire who are interested in receiving funding from the 2009 festival grants program.

During SPLENDOUR IN THE GRASS’S eight-year history in the Byron shire, this program has generated over $200,000 in direct donations through ticket sales and fundraising that has benefited local community groups.

Byron Shire Council has described the Halloween show at the Youth Activities Centre (YAC) as a great success in more ways than one. Around 300 local young people attended the event. The night was a fun filled fancy dress show with live music and the opportunity to be in a safe youth drug and alcohol free environment.

Robyn Masters, Community Development and Projects Officer with Byron Shire Council, said the Halloween show is a fantastic youth event that has been trouble free year after year.

‘It is a youth event organised by and for young people with the support of Council’s Youth Activity Centre coordinator. This group organises its own security, supervision and promotion. The event is supported by Byron Shire Coun-

cil and has been running at the Byron Bay Youth Activity Centre for four consecutive years.

‘Six local hardcore bands played at the show. This event leaves youth impatient for the following year’s show and is one of the many hosted by Byron Bay Hardcore. The hardcore shows have been running in Byron Bay for years, and the continued energy that they create has kept new generations of kids joining to keep the scene alive.’

Street Cruise workers reported that young people behaved responsibly after the show.

Inspector Owen King from Byron Bay Police Station said, ‘On Halloween night the number of calls for police assistance in the Byron Bay and Suffolk Park areas was reduced greatly and were insignificant

compared to previous years.

This may well be attributed to the youth event held at the Byron Youth Activity Centre this year.’

The Youth Activity Centre has hosted many successful events for young people and been a starting point for many local bands. With renovations currently under way, the YAC will once again be up and running in the new year as a venue which can provide a range of creative and recreational opportunities for young people.

Oli Ayo from Byron Bay Hardcore said, ‘A big thanks goes out to Belle and Juliet from Council and to the Byron Police for their continued support.

‘Byron Bay High School has also been a great help this year in allowing us to use the school hall for shows.’

The 2007 and 2008 festivals raised a total of $70,000 via the grants program, which was directed towards the Byron Youth Service, Byron Bay Hospital Auxiliary and WIRES Northern Rivers. In 2009 we expect to dedicate over $40,000 towards the grants program.

Groups wishing to apply should request an application wherein they can outline the project that they wish to put forward for funding.

Priority areas will be projects that benefit young people or the environment, both of which are core values for SPLENDOUR IN THE GRASS. Interested parties should email the General Manager for more information at answers@splendourinthegrass.com

Aletha Solter PhD, founder of The Aware Parenting Institute, and author of four parenting books, is visiting Australia again after her successful workshop tour in 2005. As well as events in Brisbane, Murwillumbah, and Victoria, she will be offering a talk and workshop in Mullumbimby.

The talk is entitled Raising Drug-Free Kids and is based on her book of the same name. Dr Solter will explain why children take drugs, and how parents can help to ‘drugproof ’ their children.

Organisers of the talk say this approach is helpful for parents of babies to teens, to help children develop emotional stability and resilience.

‘Dr Solter’s Aware Parenting model has an in-depth understanding of how babies and children learn to deal with their feelings, and how this affects the likelihood that they will be drawn to taking drugs when older. A democratic approach to discipline is crucial too, as one of the reasons teenagers begin to take drugs is to rebel against their parents.

Democratic discipline is the focus of Dr Solter’s half-day workshop ‘Discipline Without Punishments Or Rewards’.

‘Contrary to popular TV quick-fix shows, there is now plenty of research to indicate that punishments and rewards

bring unwanted long-term results. Yet, without them, how do parents avoid becoming permissive and ineffectual?

‘To understand how we can best influence our children, we need to understand more about why they behave in ways that we don’t enjoy, and how their emotions affect this. Equipped with this understanding, we can learn the methods for helping children naturally cooperate and contribute to us.’

Raising Drug-Free Kids is on Thursday November 20, 7p-9pm, and Discipline Without Punishments Or Rewards is on Saturday November 22, 9am-1pm . To find out more about these events, visit www.parentingwithpresence. net. For bookings, email Marion at awareparenting@iinet. net.au.

Bo Daly, above left, from Bangalow is celebrating early from some recent exciting news regarding her HSC. This talented and dedicated student has been nominated by the Board of Studies for a callback presentation of ‘outstanding HSC dance works’ in the section of Core Composition. Bo submitted a contemporary dance piece based on the theme of ‘obsession’ and her innovative choreography was performed by Jorja Brain, above right. Both girls are students of Dance Dynamics Theatrical & Performance School in Byron Bay ‘Bo and Jorja have worked extremely hard to achieve this

fantastic result,’ says Dance Dynamics principal Kate Histon. This particular dance piece was recently awarded at the North Coast dance festival’s last month where Bo was also presented with the perpetual award for most promising dancer.

Bo’s exciting acknowledgment from the board of studies means she is in the top 10% of Australian HSC dance students for ‘core composition’.

Outstanding HSC dance works will be held at Newtown High, Kings Street Newtown on February 4, 2009.

Comment

American spirit rekindled by a true leader Now a resident of Ocean Shores, Victor Marsh has lived and worked in the US for varying periods, and has dual citizenship. In the interests of full disclosure, he tells us he voted for Hillary Clinton in the primaries, but was happy to switch his vote to Barack Obama on November 4. Victor was in Chicago on Election Day. He spoke to dozens of people before and after the election, in Los Angeles, Chicago and New York, from where he filed this report: When I hit the West Coast, late October, I sensed a powerful surge of excitement coming to the boil, a palpable renaissance of hope that had been gathering strength over the final months of a painful, protracted campaign. But the optimism was restrained by a noticeable undercurrent of anxiety. After a relentless and insidious politics of fear (sound familiar?), people were almost afraid to hope. It reminded me of the situation in Oz before Howard got his comeuppance, and I had to stop myself from telling my Yankee friends that a new dawn was certainly coming.

(See how it affects you!)

Notable too was the constant barrage of offensive media commentary. Shrill talk radio crackled incessantly

with partisan opinion posing as journalism. Trial balloons floated by McCain/Palin were being picked up and amplified by goon broadcasters hammering home the latest bloated allegations on behalf of their favoured candidate.

Television too had been traduced by argumentative spruiking (Chairman Rupert has a lot to answer for).

Democrat voters carried scars from the 2000 election – widely viewed as stolen by the Cheney/Bush push – and their faith in the country’s democratic institutions had been deeply shaken when the Supreme Court denied a challenge from Al Gore’s ticket and upheld the rort. Paranoid scenarios popped up on many sides, not the least of which centered around the reliability or otherwise of the technology used in voting.

Suspect machines Favoured in many districts as more reliable than the paper punch card ballots that produced the crisis of the hanging chads in Florida, a patchwork of different technologies were in use in different states, an odd situation whereby a Federal election is administered differently, region by region.

Fifty five per cent of Americans were casting their ballots via optical scan systems. One

third were voting by electronic touch screens. New York State was using mechanical lever machines from the 60s while a small percentage still used old-fashioned paper ballots, counted by hand. Twenty-two States used electronic voting machines that produce no verifiable paper record. Imagine the anxiety.

Touch screen machines occasionally fail, or register false results; optical scan systems sometimes have trouble reading paper ballots if they are too long or marked with the wrong colour ink and some studies suggested electronic machines could be easily hacked.

As a result, an unprecedented number of people took the chance to vote early, trying at least to flush out omissions in the rolls (a problem in several areas in past elections). The Democrats sent out squads of lawyers to monitor irregularities and huge volunteer armies worked around the clock to get out the vote. A friend of mine from New York drove all the way to Ohio; five people in a borrowed car (on loan from a doctor who couldn’t make the trip herself), none of whom had ever met before.

He brought back some awful horror stories: eg a Democratic voter who didn’t want to vote for McCain, but had been

told by her church that ‘the bible said’ that if and when a black man becomes the leader, that’s a sure sign of the end of the world!

Another friend was working behind the scenes at CNN, analysing exit poll data; the 64% turnout of eligible voters was the highest in any election in 100 years. Gun owners voted 62% for McCain. Obama carried every age group except those over 65 and won a majority of votes across every educational bracket. He carried states that hadn’t voted Democrat since LBJ, in the mid-1960s. America has extracted a collective digit and really stepped up; if you think they were stupid to have reelected Bush in 2004, just remember how long it took to displace John Howard!

Leadership I know my fellow Aussies tend to cringe at the inspirationalism voiced from the campaign hustings – to our ears it rings of evangelism – but Barack Obama, whose candidature was ridiculed when he first entered the race in February 2007, has more qualities for leadership than kneejerk appeals to jingoism and the invocation of pseudoreligion require. A divided country, in a real crisis politically and economically, has

lost its way and has dragged the rest of the world with it.

We all looked on in dismay as the Cheney/Bush push squandered the sympathy and goodwill that flowed towards the US after 9/11 with their stupid, wrong-headed warmongering and the cascade of horrors that followed: the Patriot Act, Guantanamo Bay, the abuse of executive powers… the list goes on and on. But now? Ding dong, the witch is dead!

Interconnected If we didn’t ‘get’ it before it has become awfully clear that everything and everybody is interconnected (a good primer in basic Buddhism, acted out on the world stage) and we can’t get away with isolationism and selfishness any longer. Everyone I spoke to was painfully aware that the whole world was watching them.

On Tuesday, Chicago’s Grant Park was the site of a huge election night rally. Forty years after the infamous Democratic national convention, when Mayor Daley’s police battled anti-Vietnam-war protesters, the country was embroiled in a virtual civil war; now the hope is that Chicago has been the birthplace of a new cycle of reconciliation. Something violated in the American psy-

che by the murders of Martin Luther King, Bobby Kennedy, JFK, John Lennon, et al might now be healed, and the deep and bitter cynicism that has dimmed the American spirit is being rekindled by a young candidate with real sympathy for the diverse threads that make up not only his country, but his own hybrid self.

In his first press conference on Friday, the President-elect looked tired, but humorously referred himself as a bit of a ‘mutt’.

This election marks not only a generational change but also a shift in paradigms. It will be the first time the Democrats control both houses of parliament and the White House since 1994. You feel that the broad coalition that has responded to his message of hope is willing him to succeed. Yes, Americans need to project heroic qualities into their political figures, and to Australians this can seem naïve, but his man has the hallmarks of a true leader – and a calm one – not a demagogue. Surely, he will be tested by the challenges he faces on behalf of his country. In my humble opinion, he deserves all the goodwill and support we can lend him and I for one would gladly trade in the tired legacy of cynicism for hope any day.

Restoring the American dream uring the last eight grim years just one fact has allowed a flickering Volume 23 #23 November 11, 2008 faith in America to survive: most of its citizens did not vote for George W Bush.

If Obama has any overblown ideas he will swiftly be reminded that the American voters elected him to solve their problems, not those of anyone else, and that if he wants a second term he’d better get on with it.

In strictly practical terms, Obama’s presidency may actually be bad news for Australia in particular. In the current climate the Democrats will almost certainly be more inclined to retreat down their traditional road of protectionism to appease their core constituency of factory workers and small farmers than to pursue the wider goal of free trade. And of course while Kevin Rudd might like to see himself and the new President as soul mates, their relationship is never likely to be as cosy as the Bush-Howard coupling.

There is no longer any doubt that child care has become an essential service; the model of two working parents is now considered necessary to most household economies and the sudden resignation of all mothers from the workforce would cripple large sections of the national economy.

The old-style ad hoc arrangements with friends and relatives which were a previ-

A

ous generation’s idea of child care cannot any longer come close to filling the need for properly qualified supervision, let alone the expectation of some form of preschooling that is supposed to go with it.

Thus when the privately owned and run, profit-driven organisation that controlled nearly a quarter of Australia’s child care places went belly up, Julia Gillard had no real choice: something needed to be done immediately, and if this involved rewarding private failure with public funds, well, that was the way it had to be.

But of course it didn’t. If all child care had been a properly regulated and supervised public service run on a notfor-profit basis, as some of it already is, the government would not have had to throw good money after bad. There would still be taxpayer subsidies involved, but at least the government would control where they went; it is unlikely that the public servants in charge would be driving around in Ferraris.

The lifestyles of the directors of ABC Learning make it clear that the enterprise has not been short of money in at least some areas. It would be nice to recoup a bit of the $22 million we are spending to redeem their administrative bungles. But it would be nicer still to have a society in which the necessities of life were not handed over the tender care of profit-driven entrepreneurs in the first place.

Some things are just too important to be abandoned to the roller coaster of fear and greed that powers the marketplace. Australia’s children, who increasingly depend on well run child care, are some of them.

Council and affordable housing I am at a loss as to why a person of Dailan Pugh’s reputation should seek to totally misrepresent an initiative intended to alleviate a growing social disaster. I refer to his discourse ‘Affordable housing?

Unaffordable development’ in a recent Echo.

Since the 70s state and federal governments have sought to distance themselves from the provision of public housing, rather relying on rent subsidies. With property prices and rents ballooning the subsidy does not come anywhere near bridging the gap between low incomes and the price of shelter. Byron Shire is particularly affected with growing numbers in deep economic stress

or actually homeless.

In an initiative to make some small impact on this situation (and shame the other levels of government) Byron Shire Council commissioned the Draft Affordable Housing Strategy now on public exhibition.

Completed by the leading expert in the field and paid for by a grant, the document is only designed to assess the situation and list the full range of options available to the council and the community. To characterise it as a blueprint for uncontrolled development and council profiteering goes beyond the mischievious to the malicious. If three or four projects are completed with-

out financial loss we should be well pleased – there was never any illusion that local initiatives could be anything but an example to others.

In reply to some statements made: Council will never ‘share profits with developers’ – its payoff in any agreement will be cheap housing; Council does not have the expertise nor bed entitlements to provide specialist housing for the elderly; Council has constantly lobbied state ministers to build public housing – they are no longer in the business; Council is seeking to strictly control holiday letting in the new LEP; the zoning of caravan park locations is dictated by the state planning template

Feeling left out

ture while channelling profitability into remediation of the horrendous damage caused by the past.

Are you ready?

the time they have been on our street, they have made friends and a strong support network has been forged – we mind each other’s children, pets, as well as homes when someone is away. These tenants also loved and tended to their homes and gardens, which would be a blessing to any landlord.

Landlords, please consider the social implications of your actions. Do you really need to raise the rent to such an extent? Are your actions being motivated by greed?

Perhaps our real estate agents could assist in supporting local communities by encouraging landlords to keep the rents at a fair level.

And may I suggest that those who unashamedly present their tenants with unfair increases that they know they will not be able to meet – have some compassion and wait until after bloody January!

As the years in Parliament rush by (14 years soon) I tend to go for solutions rather than prioritising publicity of success. Yet after two weeks in a row (Letters from Norm Sanders and Tina Petroff ) extolling the virtues of others’ efforts, while well deserved, I’m feeling a bit left out.

A few facts for the record.

Firstly I talked to Norm Sanders and offered to take information to the then Transport Minister Eric Roozendaal, including Echo reports. Given that I am in the same House I was able to discuss it with him personally and gave him my question the day before to give him a chance to shine. His answer to my question is on the record and available. Further followup occurred and with concurrent community lobbying we were successful.

I was lobbied (effectively I might add) by ex-Senator Sanders and acted accordingly.

Readers of Fairfax broadsheets may have noted the announcement of a Macquarie Capital Group/AGL proposal to roll out infrastructure supportive of mass numbers of electric cars, beginning in 2012.

That a selection of beadyeyed capitalists such as this have noted which way the wind is blowing should serve notice on anyone who still doubts the feasability of making the big switch.

The reality is that a changing technological playing field has left governments floundering, and presented populations with opportunities to decide the future, opportunities demanding organised responses.

The challenge is to implement a new technological fu-

Dear landlord I am writing this as a ‘Christmas appeal’ to the goodwill of those landlords and estate agents out there who may be in the process of throwing out their good tenants just before Christmas – at the most impossible time of the year to find long-term accommodation.

It is a sad fact that I have witnessed this occurrence almost every year that I have lived in Suffolk Park.

We have two households on our street that are being forced to move away from Suffolk because their landlords have approached them with an outrageous rise in the rental price. One household was asked to pay $50 more per week. The other, a single mother, was asked to pay $100 more per week (both increases were requested after only one year). Neither could afford the increase, as the rents were already extraordinarily high – particularly for the types of houses they were in. Suffolk is not known for its cheap rental properties – it is in this context that I am outraged about such exorbitant increases.

Both families who have had their rents raised unreasonably are devastated about having to leave Suffolk. Over

for LEPs; sale of the Bayshore Drive land is an option not an intention; Council has two remaining caravan parks and retention of ‘permanents’ is a priority – new residential parks are an option; developer agreements are a state planning initiative not a strategy devised by the draft; sustainability remains an imperative.

Dailan Pugh should know better. His effort only serves to bring the chronically illinformed like Cheryl Garratt (Letters, November 4) out of the woodwork and force me to reluctantly write letters like this.

Not reassured

A recent Echo article stated that Byron Councillors had been reassured on our CDO exposure in the investment portfolio, despite the most recent Investment Report showing unrealised losses of over $7.49 million on the $44 million Structured Products portfolio, continuing the trend since April 2008.

The article described a ‘workshop’ that had been held in secret, with no public access or prior announcement, attended by some unnamed Councillors, representatives from the ANZ unit that sold us the Structured Products, as well as our auditors.

Apparently the auditors announced that they will not sign off on the Financial Statements for unexplained ‘technical’ reasons. Is the ‘technicality’ the fact that the valuations of

our investments are based on information provided by the same people who sold them to us, and there is no way to verify them independently?

Calling that a technical matter is at best a gross distortion, like saying that a pig can fly, except for the technical matter of not having wings. Nothing is more fundamental to an accountant’s task than the ability to verify the accounts.

Isn’t it time to stop the spin, pseudo-justifications, bland assurances, and secrecy about these failed investments?

And let’s not believe the hype that it was all bad luck that all the financial markets have had setbacks. It is now well-known that the source of the financial market meltdown was the greed and gullibility of bankers and investors in selling and buying derivatives such as the Structured Products bought by Byron Shire over the past four years.

Architects of an American disaster Chaos / Unrest / Confusion – my work is done here, so read the T shirt worn by an under 10-year-old walking along the boulevard in Venice Beach, California last year. It was the perfect image of George W Bush.

I can see him now, wearing that T shirt, firecrackers in hand, as he strides triumphantly from the White House at the end of his term in January 2009. To his handlers, who controlled the national agenda of the last eight years, it will be job well done, a masterful performance.

George W presided over the realisation of everything the neoconservative movement set out to do. The agenda was stipulated in advance

in the 1997 document Project for a New American Century (www.newamericancentury. org). Some of the political technology was not spelled out though, like warrantless eavesdropping at will, rendition to offshore torture chambers, the war on science, the plunder of natural resources, pillaging on Wall Street, disappeared billions of dollars in the hands of no-bid private contractors, the destruction of two countries, the chaos and starvation in Africa and Haiti, demolition of the arts and sciences in schools, billions in tax giveaways to global corporations and the super wealthy, control over the reporting of ‘news’, corruption of the judiciary, de-

struction of the middle class, ravaging of health care, and on and on. It was all deliberate, carefully planned and devastating in its precision and effectiveness.

The goal? Corporate globalisation and the reign of a global American empire whose business is, like all empires, transferring wealth from the poor to the rich… and what a brilliant job they did. The New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman, extolling the virtues of globalisation, titled his book The Earth is Flat. It should have been the Earth is Flattened.

Who could have done a better job? George W was hand picked by the evil genius Karl Rove and tutored to

perfection. Who else could smile and wave in the midst of all this and assure that things were great? Only someone who believed they were great, George W Bush, because for him they were, and are. To the masterminds behind the scenes, George was the ideal distraction. He could stand there, smirking, at the helm of the ship of state as it steamed toward the iceberg.

But look closer and what do you see? The money is to be spent sending these students into the private school system, because it alone is able to provide ‘the life-changing opportunity’ and ‘high-quality secondary’ education for Aboriginal kids. Oh yes?

On any reading, this is an undisguised affront to the public education system.

Rudd deserves to be roundly condemned.

We elected him, so we are the ones to tell him he’s made a big mistake. Every reader who believes in public education should tell Rudd now what you think of this slap in the face.

Email your views to The Prime Minister, The Hon Kevin Rudd MP at www.pm.gov. au, and to The Minister for Education, The Hon Julia Gillard MP at Julia.Gillard.MP@ aph.gov.au. Or write to them at PO Box 6022, Parliament House, Canberra ACT 2600.

Do it now – this insult is intolerable. Tell them so politely and respectfully, but in the strongest way you can.

The first duty of electors in a democracy is to educate their political leaders.

tial car buyers are just awaiting the production of suitable ‘green’ vehicles to come onto the market. A pity our politicians can’t think beyond their next election.

Snippet: CSIRO sources told The Canberra Times if there had been greater support for the Holden Ecommodore hybrid from both the Howard government and Labor during its decade in Opposition Australia would be ‘well down the road by now’ to building and marketing a locally designed green car.

They say CSIRO and Holden jointly spent about $12 million in developing the low-emissions Ecommodore which was the world’s first full-sized hybrid-electric powered family car but the Howard government invested only $2 million in the project, claiming consumer demand for the car would be too limited to justify a more substantial investment.

A dawning?

The President-elect’s acceptance speech is seen by some observers as ‘the dawning of a bright new day’. However, can Americans – and others – really expect great things from a president who, during his election campaign, proclaimed that he does not know when a human being starts to have human rights?

Letters

Hear the train a comin’, rolling round the bend... ■V Gorec (Letters, November 4) would do well to pay more attention to what was written as opposed to what they’ve fantasised. I reported that a private meeting was held in Bangalow, not that I attended (I was in the main restaurant celebrating a friend’s birthday).

Having crossed words once or twice with Cr Cameron in these pages several times before and recognising the chap from the recent election promotions, I took it upon myself to put our differences aside and congratulate him on his newly elected position in our local council.

My estimation of him was not improved in any way after receiving the ‘dead-fish’ handshake, but he did go on to inform me that this was a new council initiative to ‘get out into the community’ and that getting the trains on the tracks was a large part of the night’s agenda. Hence my confusion with the people of TOOT and the people of the meeting (most of whom were not familiar faces to this regular member of the club).

V might not be impressed to know this, but it certainly boosted my esteem somewhat when my original letter was published three weeks ago, and within hours of its distribution, I received an unexpected phone call from a well-respected local octogenarian who congratulated me on my ‘superb letter.... which couldn’t have been any better written’. I was taken back as I fully expected the usual treatment of going unpublished, often even unacknowledged.

This Mullumbimby gentleman assured me that there are literally hundreds of people in support of utilising the corridor for more pedestrian and eco-friendly pursuits, and said he was inspired to write a letter to the minister, a copy of which he mailed to me with a quite touching typewritten letter to myself.

He didn’t go around behind my back trying to find out who I was and that’s exactly the sort of person I myself find inspiring.

Much like many of the locals I have a roll on the bowling greens with others twice a week. These are real men with real-life experiences and don’t belong to associations whose main agenda seems to be stifling progress.

They shake your hand with warmth and sincerity and don’t mind sharing a beer with you when the game is over. Real knowledge from firsthand experience can be garnered by associating with

such people. No heads in the clouds here.

The ancient history of the rail service notwithstanding, when the ‘thousands of signatures’ were collected in the early days of the line being closed (most likely mine was one of them), the only service it offered was the Countrylink XPT run which was conveniently replaced with a bus service, so in effect, nothing was lost.

My number is listed in the White Pages, V Gorec, neighbour. You might find out more about me directly from the horse’s mouth, so to speak, than you will from ‘members of several organisations’ that I obviously have neither the time nor inclination for.

Ross Thatcher

Bangalow â– It is sad to read the recrimi-

nations and spleen being directed towards Ross Thatcher for daring to suggest reopening of the existing Murwillumbah to Casino rail link is an economic dead duck. Even if the NSW government were not heading for insolvency, the projected passenger and freight volumes on the reinstated link would come nowhere near the numbers required to provide the return on funds necessary to justify investment of $28m (a seriously flawed estimate in view of the high number of antiquated trestle bridges requiring demolition and replacing).

However, most sensible people would be moved to support a proposal to use part of the old line to produce a link between Ballina and Coolangatta. The new line from Byron to Ballina could possibly utilise part of the corridor for the proposed new motorway.

This line would connect three airports, open up our densely populated holiday coast to visitors without gas guzzling transport and provide myriad opportunities for employment, and job mobility. Above all, it could possibly satisfy the stringent investment criteria necessary for an investment of any magnitude. With the current state of world, national and state economies, many of us will be lucky to live to see it happen.

very well. All states excepting NSW have upgraded or introduced new lines, but little has been added to the NSW network since the 1920s.

Worldwide, rail lines pay a major role in reducing air pollution and fuel costs. In Europe goods and people can travel to all major towns via efficient, fast and frequent rail services. Air services are mainly used to travel further afield. In the USA it has proved impossible to lay out costly and elaborate road services as in Los Angeles, to the rest of the country. Even a trickle of abandoned rail lines is returning and many cities are introducing efficient inner city rail networks. In Russia, China and India, rail lines have been the mainstay of their transport systems, not to mention the Bullet train services in Japan. Steel wheels on steel tracks are ten times more efficient than vehicles on rubber tyred wheels.

In NSW the reinstatement of the Casino to Murwillumbah rail line on a fully repaired track would require far less money than being used to upgrade the roadway in that area.

Provided sufficient trains are running on suitable timetables and especially if the line is extended about 25 kilometres to Coolangatta it would link to the line under construction southward from Robina in Queensland. Thus the fastest growing area in NSW would be linked by rail to the major city of Brisbane.

As Mr Thatcher suggests, this corridor could also accommodate bike, pedestrian and equestrian usage as well.

Considerably smaller numbers of people would need to use cars on roadways being upgraded for use by huge trucks at considerable cost.

It would allow young and old people unable to use cars to travel beyond their immediate area.

Less consumption of petrol now rapidly rising in the price and reduced air pollution would occur. The number of people killed in accidents involving trucks with overtired drivers should fall as goods are carried by rail to unloading points close to distribution areas.

A suitably balanced transport system for our area would help alleviate the worldwide problem of a planet rapidly becoming overheated, largely by the efforts of humankind.

â– Ross Thatcher incorrectly Dave Wenban states that no rural railway Mullumbimby lines have been reinstated.

However in Victoria the Ara- â– Letter on this subject alsorat and Bairnsdale lines have received from Nick Casmirri, been reinstated and are doing Goonellabah.

Teaching religion in schools Michael McDonald

God-botherers have been a part of school life as long as I can remember. In our senior years at high school (196769) we had an unfortunate woman intent on giving us a religious education along the lines of modern day creationism while we gleefully argued the case for empirical observation. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Science doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know everything!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; she retorted crossly, which is fair enough.

While some Christians like to think otherwise, Australia is a secular nation. Under Chapter V of the Commonwealth Of Australia Constitution Act it notes: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;116. The Commonwealth shall not make any law for establishing any religion, or for imposing any religious observance, or for prohibiting the free exerjulie hutchings

cise of any religion, and no religious test shall be required as a qualification for any office or public trust under the Commonwealth.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; This does not prevent religious education in all its varying degrees of clarity. Under the NSW Education Act, schools provide â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;general religious educationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;special religious educationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; (SRE).

According to the Department of Education website, general religious education â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;is taught through the Board of Studies syllabuses and includes what people believe and how these beliefs affect their livesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Special religious education â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;is provided by authorised representatives of approved religious groups to students whose parents have nominated that religion and at a time negotiated with the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

The SRE approach springs from the Rawlinson Commit-

tee Report â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Religion in Education in NSW Government Schools (1980)â&#x20AC;&#x2122;, which was adopted by the government of the day as an agreement between the churches and the government for the provision of SRE. How a religious group becomes â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;approvedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;teachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; would be an interesting assessment to watch. I assume it wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t approve, say, the Church of Scientology or the Great Jellybean Cult.

As far as Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m aware, Christianity is the only religion taught as SRE in state schools locally. Would the sparks fly if Islam or Judaism wanted a slice of the pie?

The Byron Religious Education Association (BREA), a Christian group, recently advertised for an SRE teacher for Mullum High. The successful applicant must have â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;a clear faith in Jesus Christ as Lordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;a passion for sharing the

good news of Jesus Christ with young peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. He or she should also develop relationships with staff and students â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;outside the classroom situation, eg sporting activities, excursions, mentoringâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, which may fall outside the provisions of the policy: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;SRE should be an integral part of school activities, taking place in school hours and under the jurisdiction of the school.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Parents should be aware that religious education, of any kind, is not compulsory.

Mullum Highâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s handbook points that out: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Parents have the right to withdraw their child from any SRE lessons.

If they wish to do so, parents should put this in writing and hand in to the administration office on enrolment or at any time hence.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Further, according to Section 33 of the Education Act, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;no child is required to receive any general religious education or special religious education if the parents/caregivers object. Objections should be made in writing to the principal of the school.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; You can download the implementation document for NSW religious education policy at www.curriculumsupport.education.nsw.gov.au/ policies/religion/implement/ index.htm

Searching in the dark among ancient jellies Story & photo Mary Gardner

‘What are these things? Why don’t we ring up The Echo and ask that biologist who writes those nature articles?’ the man said to my friend.

‘But I am that biologist!’ I blurted out. The three of them stopped dead. ‘And I don’t know!’ I laughed. After a telling pause, they all laughed too.

If you could only see this old professor I had once. He taught me useful things like how to count all the leaves on a tree and to write up reports in one draft. One afternoon, he stood there, addressing us seniors in a final lecture, catching a moment of portent.

‘After all the years of study, after everything you learn here, in the days to come, the most important thing – you must remember! There will be times when the most important thing that you can truthfully say is “I don’t know.”

‘But, as I hope you do know by now, there are things you can do to try to find out. You will simply need to accept that you’re going to be in the dark a lot of the time. If you can get comfortable with being like that, searching in the dark, well, that’s what we need. People who are comfortable with

the fact that they don’t know.

Who then roll up their sleeves and work to find out.’

All this was far from my mind as I stood on the beach, spitting in my snorkel mask before I put it on. The tide was out. I waded into a small pool of murky water between the shore and the far off breakers. The pool was shaped by what remained of the rocky reef exposed by last summer’s storms. Now, almost a year’s worth of sand driven by the current has filled it in to the extent that only the top ridge remained clear.

This reef had harboured many species of animal and plant life which attached themselves to its hard surface.

In its immediate waters, fish of every size lingered. Several times here I watched a wobbegong or a turtle.

Not anymore. And not today, in these final days of this opportunistic habitat. Sadly, I peered into the shallow depths of this marine mausoleum. But I was startled out of my requiem by flickering small things, coming in and out of focus. I eased onto my belly in the knee deep waters.

Holding onto my flippers, I stretched out and began to drift .The small current alongside the reef pulled me along then curled back at the end of the rocks.

The water was chock full of small bobbing – damn were they highly poisonous box jellyfish? Surely not! There were toddlers at the far end of the pool and no one shouting out in pain. Streaming tentacles – how many were there exactly?

Where were they attached to these small clear jellies?

Aha, only two, not four.

And the clear jellies seem

oval, not cuboid. The attachment seems to be opposite of each other. Could they be – I stood up in the shallows and scooped some up through one of my fins and poured it on the sand.

There, beached, was that jelly ‘egg’, the mystery object of our earlier seaside conversation. Its tentacles can retract completely into itself so when held up to the light, there seems to be some ‘embryo’ inside. But this is a comb jelly often known as a sea gooseberry.

Comb jellies are ctenophores (k-ten-o-fours), creatures jostling with jellyfish and sponges for the title of ‘most ancient and simple animal’. Recent work in molecular identification suggests that these are the earliest, alongside though utterly different from jellyfish, anemones and coral. In the same study, sponges appear to be what’s left after a more complex creature devolves.

Ctene are bands of cilia, arranged like teeth on a comb.

On comb jellies, they are set in eight bands, from mouth to anus. The cilia wave in rhythms. Marine divers and photographers are delighted by the delicate shimmering rainbow effect. Some cilia appear to circulate waters

around the animal. Others, on the tentacles, move prey up to the mouth. The cilia are helped by colloblasts, cells secreting glue which holds the catch, small marine larvae.

Innocuous as they seem, one alien species of these small carnivores were introduced to the Black Sea in the 1990s. They ate baby fish and multiplied so fiercely that in ten years the entire anchovy/ sprat fishing industry collapsed. (The larger fish industry had already collapsed due to human over fishing.) The sea was filled with jellies. In the late1990s, another species of comb jelly entered the sea.

These only ate the alien comb jellies. The hope is they may eventually control the other species to some extent.

I got out of the sea, somewhat dazed. To any beach voyeur, here emerged an odd adult woman having foolishly floated in shallow cloudy water between rocks and children.

But I thought of my old professor. To hold a question in abeyance, to wait and come upon the key points for a sure identification! To delay judgment till more is known and carefully considered! The great adventure to inner space: can it matter if it’s as handy as our local Clarkes Beach?

Comment

Low-cost solutions for the turd world Duncan Dey

The headline â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Resources for collapsing systemsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; over Letters in last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Echo inspired me to outline the third side of the sewage triangle debate. Side One is Council pushing the pause button on its spending $40 million or so on a new high-tech sewage treatment plant (STP) to serve urban areas of Mullumbimby and Brunswick Heads. Yes, this budget has risen over the years from $8m, at far higher rates than just inflation.

Side Two of the triangle is an advertisement on page two of last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Echo. Is the author ashamed of identifying themselves when exhorting the rest of us to clamour for the new STP? The Brunswick River does not need the plant. Developers do, as they believe it will turn off the moratorium and thus allow their new urban subdivision. Little do they know it may not. The sewers of Mullum leak like a sieve and the new STP will do nothing to remedy that.

The realties are the turd side of the triangle (sorry, had to say that): t *O ESZ XFBUIFS BMM UIF Ä&#x2DC; PX from Mullumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sewers is irrigated instead of going to the river. It has been irrigated

since 2003. A good proving period, hey? t " QJQFMJOF GSPN #SVOT wick Heads would see its share irrigated as well. The Main Arm farms are asking for more! t *SSJHBUJPO EPFTO U OFFE UIF new STP. Water full of nutrients saves adding fertilisers.

Low-cost solutions are available, high-tech answers are only needed if we continue to bow to the god of business as we know it. The dinosaurian approach of dumping wastes in rivers (or in the ocean) just stinks. Council forbids rural people from doing it, hey!

Low-cost storages could be built to store sewage collected in wet weather until dry weather allows irrigation again. Storages canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do that now because in wet weather the quantity of sewage grows

16 November 11, 2008 The Byron Shire Echo

20% of that would do the job.

If we replaced the sewers in Mullum for $8m, built storages for $2m and added pipelines for $2m weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have $28m left over for low-tech treatment STPs to cover the odd day when the sewage produced exceeded a modern irrigation and storage capacity.

Yes, on those days weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have to release it somewhere. But only a Monty Python idiot would put it in their river. Or we might even look at increasing storage capacity or at reducing the volume of sewage produced.

If our approach wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t based on â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;put it in the riverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first and ask questions later, we might have asked the right questions in the past. We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t! So letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ask them now.

Why arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t we looking ahead, closing the eco-cycles, and closing our wallet until we have the right strategy? Why arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t we brave enough to take some first steps? Why are we stuck in the pro-pollution past? Why are we locking our urban cousins into pooing in their own river?

The urban sewer system of Mullum is collapsing indeed.

to 15 times the dry weather flow. Not double. Not triple.

No, five times triple! You just canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t store that much stuff.

Mullumbimby produces about one million litres of sewage a day, in dry weather.

In wet weather we add 14 parts rainwater to one part sewage (which is already about 99% water, but polluted). The collector system runs all over town. There are about 30 kilometres of it. And it leaks! Even the standard engineering approach says this is outrageous.

Why not fix it? One reason: itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;normalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to replace a townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sewers. But in Mullum weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve known since the sewers were built in the 1960s that they are defective. Another â&#x2013; Duncan Dey is a civil engireason: itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expensive. But now neer specialised in elements of that we are looking down the the water-cycle and a former barrel of a $40m STP, only Byron Shire Councillor.

First aid for your mind Tooheys White Stag Stubbies

Mandy Nolan

A few years ago a close friend of Nicqui Yazdi committed suicide. Her inability to recognise the warning signs and offer her friend the appropriate assistance that may have averted her tragic death inspired Nicqui to enrol in a Mental Health First Aid course and later become an instructor so she could spread the valuable information in the community so that we can all become a lifeline for people in crisis.

‘Lise was one of my best friends, and I missed the call for help,’ says Nicqui. ‘She had kept telling me she was tired, and she had pills on her bathroom shelf that I never asked her about, she wasn’t happy about her body, she wasn’t happy about anything in her life. She’d separated from her partner, and even though they got back together it wasn’t really working, she was also selfmedicating.’

Signs to watch for These are all signs that Nicqui now teaches others to identify in their partners, friends and relatives. Most importantly Nicqui’s Mental Health First Aid teaches people how to have these kind of conversations with the person you are concerned for.

So firstly, what is Mental Health First Aid? ‘It’s like any other first aid course, it’s the aid that is given first before professional help can be given, in this case it’s first aid for the mind.

‘I teach people how to recogise and how to see it. Then, how to respond – you need to know what to do once you realise someone is having a mental health problem.’

Nicqui explained how to respond to specific symptoms.

Mood elevation – ‘This a bit of a danger area, they need www.echo.net.au

to see someone, because it could be the onset of bi-polar or any form of psychosis. It is dangerous for the person because they do things they wouldn’t do usually because they are not in a normal mind, they do things like think they can fly. They need immediate professional help.’

Depressed – ‘It only takes two weeks of depression to be considered clinical depression. The GP is the first port of call, most have a pretty good knowledge now. They are now realising a lot of people appearing in their surgeries every day may have hidden mental health issues. The real experts in medication are psychiatrists, but they are the last referral, and usually for people with a severe problem.’

is a compounded issue – it’s a mental health issue, usually a borderline personality disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, self harm, and serious medical issues – skin, hair, eyes, body temperature, organs, liver, kidney, heart, teeth – there isn’t one part of the body that it doesn’t affect. Their heart doesn’t pump properly. It actually has the highest mortality rate of any mental illness – 20% in 20 years will die. The key is early intervention.’

Nicqui runs courses for those working or dealing with adolescents and adults. The reason is that mental health is not just an adult issue.

‘Most mental health problems start in adolescence – the median age of onset of all mental health issues is 18 so Overcoming fear half start before, and half start Suicidal – ‘I teach people after. how to ask and how to talk about suicide comfortabley Hard to diagnose and calmly and how to deal ‘It’s hard to diagnose a menwith the answers.

Buying a pre-loved cotton dress saves 22,000 litres of water and swapping one suitcase (20kg) of clothes saves enough energy to run a TV non-stop for 1.7 years. Second hand also saves money.

Recycling most food and drink containers saves water and energy and reduces greenhouse gas emissions.

Check which containers can be collected in our bins and when you have lunch in the park bring your recycling back here.

During National Recycling Week, the North East Waste Forum and Byron Shire Council is encouraging people to Recycle Right… to conserve resources, to reduce contamination, to save water, and to combat climate change by reducing carbon emissions.

Ballina Shire, Clarence Valley, Richmond Valley and Kyogle Council areas’ said Coordinator of the North East Waste Forum, Gordon Fraser-Quick, ‘This amounts to 8,500 tonnes of CO2 being saved from entering into the atmosphere or the equivalent of 2050 cars being permanently removed from our roads; and a water saving of more than 280,000 megalitres or the equivalent of 112 Olympic sized swimming pools.’

‘The North East Waste Forum and Byron Shire Council encourages all residents to address climate change by recycling,’ says Mr Fraser-Quick. ‘When we Recycle Right we minimise contamination, we conserve resources and we reduce our impact on the environment’.

The North East Waste Forum and Byron Shire Council is encouraging all Byron Shire residents to use National Recycling Week as an opportunity to Recycle Right, whether it’s putting the right things into your home, work and school recycling bin, recycling clothes and other household goods at your local charity or recycling printer cartridges.

For more information about recycling in your area visit your local Council website www.byron.nsw.gov.au or www.recyclingnearyou.com.au.

Recycling bottles, cans, jars and paper at home is a great start, however to Recycle Right we need to make sure we’re putting the right things into our home recycling bins. When we put the wrong items in a household recycling bin, we contaminate the entire contents of the bin and reduce the effectiveness of the whole recycling process.

For example; a single plastic bag can shut down an entire material recovery facility if it ‘Last financial year more gets caught in its machinery; National Recycling Week than 17,000 tonnes of recyruns from November clable household waste was and just 5 grams of drinkrecycled in the NEWF region ware glass or Pyrex in a 10th – 16th 2008. of Byron Shire, Tweed Shire, recycling bin can contaminate a tonne of bottle and Recycling is one thing that Byron Shire residents can do to help address climate change. The more we recycle, the greater the environmental benefit as we are not only minimising the output of carbon dioxide – which is the biggest contributor to climate change, but we’re also conserving valuable resources and saving vast amounts of water and energy.

Every kilo of newspaper recycled prevents a kilo of carbon dioxide being released. Recycling one tonne of paper saves 23,000 litres of water.

Making items from recycled steel uses 75% less energy than making them from raw material helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and combat climate change.

All types of paper can go into your home recycling bin.

Scrape out or lightly rinse the cans - there's not need to scrub them.

As more individuals develop a concern for our planet, recycled clothing is evolving from â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;a good deedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to the next â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;must have.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Waste Systems The Worm Farm Waste System is a non mechanical single chamber system which processes sewage, waste water plus organic garbage using worm technology.

Help the earth and look amazing â&#x20AC;&#x201C; visit Yo Yo often as stock changes weekly, sometimes daily. Yo Yoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quality range includes retro, designer and contemporary clothes and accessories for men and women. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;My Sister Patâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 1950s style bathers made from vintage fabrics feature in the shop.

Observing the rainforest ďŹ&#x201A;oor has been the inspiration for this design. The leaf litter, nuts, berries, bark, weeds etc. fall to the ground, they mulch down naturally plus the worms, slaters and other bugs and insects eat the organic material. When processed through their gut, the end product is a lovely natural fertilizer which is why rain forests are such fertile areas.

"ANGALOW (OTEL Chilled beer, Great staff, Friendly atmosphere

Showgirls, show ponies, side shows, heavy horses, miniature horses and every horse in between, working dogs, 350 pedigree dogs, reptiles, piglet racing and a lot, lot more.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s SHOWTIME.

NEW EVENTS Waiters and waitresses from Bangalow and surrounding districts favourite restaurants and cafes will be competing in the inaugural â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Waiters Steeplechase Relayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in the main ring, Saturday afternoon. Carrying a French Bread Stick in one hand and a tray of (plastic) glasses and bottled water in the other, teams of two must complete an obstacle course against both the clock and other teams for the prize money, sash and prestige.

CafĂŠ and restaurant teams have until Friday to enter.

Horse power of a different kind ďŹ nds it way to the showgrounds on Saturday as twenty Porsche from the Qld Porsche Club have a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Show and Shineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; until lunchtime before taking part in the Grand Parade.

The Bangalow Scouts have organised a memorabilia display in their Scout Hall beside the Show OfďŹ ce to celebrate the Centenary of the Scouting movement.

A Guinea Pig (or Cavy) Megapet Show will be held on Saturday morning at 10 in the Goat Shed beside the Poultry Pavilion. Exhibit entry is free and should be a lot of fun for all.

All things â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Australianaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s theme with classes that include recycling an outďŹ t for Dame Edna Everage, tea towel designs and novelty bird houses. There is still time and hundreds of other options for you to enter in cooking, horticulture, art and craft, photography and needlework all at 50 cents to enter an exhibit.

The Pavilion opens to the public following judging at midday Friday and all day Saturday until 5pm.

Many exhibitors choose to then donate their exhibits to the Farm Produce Auction, held later in the evening in the main ring, with proceeds given to the Westpac Life Saver Rescue Helicopter.

FRIDAY Horses are back after the Equine Flu last year, with a full ring programme, including showjumping in the main ring until the cowboys move in at 2.30 for the Camp Draft competition.

Camp draft is a sport unique to Australia, originating in the late 1880â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s with the drovers and stockmen competing against each other while out on cattle runs to see who was the best rider and who had the best horse. Scoring is out of 100 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 26 for work in the cutting yard separating the cattle, 4 for the course and 70 for horsemanship.

Under the shade of the trees surrounding the Scarrabelotti Ring is a beautiful place to quietly sit with a cup of tea and spend the morning watching those lovely, gentle dairy cattle being judged in the morning.

Things get quite a bit noisier in the little ring later in the afternoon

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still here!

The friendly staff at Bangalow Upholstery would like to inform their loyal clients that they are still open and trading as usual.

For all your upholstery needs please phone 6687 1553 or come in and see us at Lot 20, Pacific Highway, Newrybar 2479

when the children arrive with their much-loved pets for the Pet Parade at 4pm. All creatures, (apart from spiders, insects and non-breathing pets like pokemon) can compete for free.

SATURDAY The Bangalow Lions Club ďŹ re up the barbie for a bacon and eggs breakfast from six in the morning to feed those competing and watching the Open Campdraft before the horse breed classes begin at 8.30 on the main ring. The horse programme continues on Sunday with Dressage.

Elsewhere on the grounds the judging of the heavy horses and pedigree dogs begins on the polo ďŹ elds, beef cattle judging in the Scarrabelotti Ring, poultry, pigeons, geese and ducks in the Fowler Pavilion and hundreds of beautifully coloured caged birds in the Aviary.

MOLLER PAVILION Right in the middle of the showgrounds is the Moller Pavilion and is a hive of constant activity.

The already famous â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Tart of the Showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is held on the Moller veranda on Saturday morning at 10 sharp. The most important rule is the tart must feature locally grown fruit. Three judges â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a chef, a stone fruit grower and a bloke taste test the tarts to decide who wins the coveted â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Tart of the Showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; three tiered rosette that would look good on any fridge door.

The Pavlova of the Show follows the tart as part of the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Australianaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; theme in the Pavilion. Again the Pavlovas will be judged by a chef, a fruit grower and a bloke.

Children wishing to enter the Junior Show Girl and Show Boy competition should be at the Moller veranda by 11.30 to regis-

ter â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a little hint; the judges like to see the entrants wearing hats.

The Moller Pavilion is open both days of the show with some of the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best cooks serving up delicious meals including a very yummy plum pudding with custard.

OPENING CEREMONY Mayor Jan Barham will ofďŹ cially open the Show at 2pm in the Opening Ceremony, followed by the Grand Parade of Champions and the naming of the 2008 Bangalow Showgirl.

SATURDAY AFTERNOON By popular demand the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Belt Buckle and Boot Cupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a horse race with a difference, returns to the main ring this year, the Ride-on Lawn Mower race is back, working dog demonstrations, Shopping Relay, Filly of the Field (look out for judges Charlotte Clarke and Ryan Correll prowling the grounds for the best dressed ďŹ lly and stud pony), rodeo and dog high jump competition â&#x20AC;&#x201C; open to all dogs.

The Elders Team Stockman Ironman competition, depicting the day in the life of a stockman, is held late in the afternoon. Last year Daniel McGettigan, Nick Rudgley and Rachel Lowenstein proved they could win the event even without a horse, now horses are back the race returns to top gear.

FINALE The massive ďŹ reworks display at 8.30pm on Saturday celebrates the conclusion to the best little country show on the north coast.

Gate fee $10 adults, $5 high school students and pensioners, under 12 year old free.

Attack of the Cancer Cluster The other day I flicked open the email that informed me that drinking warm water from my plastic drink bottle would probably give me breast cancer. Excellent. I’ve been drinking water from hot plastic since I was a kid.

Mum would pack cordial in a plackie bottle and let it sit in the Queensland sun until just enough toxins had been released. I’ve packed the same refreshments for my kids for years now.

In fact we don’t drink it until the dioxins have been released. Honestly there’s so much stuff to watch out for. It’s enough to give you an anxiety condition. Mobile phones, electricity poles, food additives, cigarettes, the sun... these are a few of my favourite Big C producing things. Seems like these days everything gives you cancer. I’ve done a bit of my own research and as it turns out it’s a lot worse than I originally suspected.

Satan’s number one choice of footwear, Crocs, give you cancer. It’s hard to detect but the first symptom is thinking they look good.

Reading Who Weekly, or NW can give you cancer, but usually the readers are so stupid they don’t notice, and even with full brain removal they can continue to go on living their life as per usual. Watching any Nicole Kidman film can give you cancer, as can looking

VA DO LL YA HA Y DE UKI IDA FR

at the sun reflecting off her unlined botoxed forehead. Neighbours and Home and Away are both so toxic, there isn’t a recommended safe level of exposure. I know someone who contracted cancer from listening to a Britney Spears album and had to have her ears removed. Just looking at a photo of Paris Hilton gives you retinal cancer. Not paying your rates gives you cancer, driving through the speeding camera at St Helena gives you cancer, and a lesser known fact is that Queensland tourists at Christmas time can give you cancer. They inflame the annoyance gland, situated right next to the Fuck You finger.

Chocolate gives you cancer, as does good sex and having a smug sense of self-satisfaction about not being a self-funded retiree. Being a dog owner gives you cancer. Owning your own home gives you cancer, but so does renting.

Turns out the homeless don’t get off scott free, they get a very rare Bum cancer.

What can one do? I’d suggest living an organic life on a mountain top drinking crystal clear water and supping from nature’s rich bounty except you’d die of boredom. Which is apparently more brutal and more difficult to cure than Mr C.

The Fleetwood Mac Experience You remember the flowing white cheesecloth and the bizarre antics of Stevie Nicks.

They play the Sphinx Rock Cafe on Sunday from 1pm, with Rebecca on about 3pm.

A Vriend In Need Elle Magazine loved her look.

They also loved her voice.

Her name is Ann Vriend.

‘Ann Vriend sings with the heart-stopping intensity of Aretha Franklin, plays piano with the ease of Norah Jones and writes songs as powerful in their simplicity as those of Paul Simon and Leonard Cohen’. The woman has quite a story. Ann Vriend is a former spy. She worked incognito for an undisclosed western European agency, posing as a freelance journalist, when she met someone who was also a spy – but for the other side. Against all odds, they fell in love – thus entering an increasingly complicated game of torn loyalties, clandestine passion, and treacherous lies. It is these experiences which inspired When We Were Spies; her cinematic new pop album.

Man, I thought that stuff only happened in movies. If I was to make a movie about my exotic life, it would be called ‘When we were in Centrelink!’

‘Folky Fun’ with Mick McHugh Mick McHugh brings his ‘Folky Fun’ to the Rails on Monday at 7pm. He will be joined by violinist Camilla Warner. For those who haven’t had the pleasure of meeting Mick, in 2008, Mick released two EP’s, sang with Australian Idol winner Damien Leith, opened for Ozzie icon Tex Perkins, played The Fatherhood Fest, the inaugural Green Fest and was short listed for songwriting in The Oz Songwriters Association contest. Mick’s music has been descibed by media as ‘positive and uplifting’. Whether it’s heart touching ballads or uptempo fun, Mick delivers his songs with his heart on his sleeve. Mick also plays Pippi’s Cafe on Friday at 6.30pm.

Soldiers of Sun at the Goonellabah Tavern Brissie surf hipsters Soldiers of the Sun will be strumming their soulful melodies and raving on poetically at Goonellabah Tavern this Saturday. With some sweet love from Triple J and Foxtel coming their way recently, the lads are keen to preview tunes from their soon to be released debut long-player.

Taking lyrical influence in everything from hookers to clowns, dogs on death row and little boys who collect sound, The Soldiers are not afraid to spin a yarn or tell

a few half-truths. After a solid year of road trips down the East Coast and a harddrive full of album, Soldiers promise to let their hair down with some sexy slide guitar, burning glockenspiel, and thigh-busting tambourine playing from their meat-head front man.

Story Telling it How it almost was

Art A Brush with Two Women Byron Fine Art Gallery invites you to a dual exhibition of paintings by local artists Emma Gale and Julie Hutchings, opening this Friday. Both artists present unique but complementary images of women. Emma Gale interprets Mexican artist Frida Kahlo in ‘Men, Monkeys & Mexico’ and Julie Hutchings presents a sensitive exploration of the human figure beyond ‘vessel or façade’ in her ‘Chasing Shadows’ collection. The exhibition runs till Monday November 24.

Master story telling Jenni Cargill will be conducting two Story Telling workshops in the next few weeks.

Through Byron Ace she’s running ‘Storytelling from the Heart’ from Nov 12 – Dec 17, 6-9pm in Mullumbimby. Jenni will guide her students through the magical world of story to the 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 re-imagine 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. Cost: $168/$150. Jenni is also running a course with Lismore and Tweed Shire ACE called The Armchair Storyteller, where she treats students to compelling stories told in a myriad of styles by a diverse array of storytellers.

Students get to participate in fun discussions of each tale and the way they were told.

Theatre Play with Place Where do you love? Where do you live? Are heart and place the same thing? Attention to place brings depth and meaning to our lives, and provides an opportunity for the heart to open and create.

At the same time, our heartfelt experiences are often strongly linked to a sense of place.

When we put our heart into something, what happens? Is there somewhere in your life where heart and place meet?

Join us in sharing your stories of Heart and Place and witness them as they are played back by the Cape Byron Playback Theatre Company through improvised movement, voice and music.

My Favourite Martin â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Weave your way through the windswept crags of the Y Sheeps Head peninsula in R LE West Cork, pause to reflect AL G T on the wondrous beauty, and N R O E A ITI G listen. Listen closely and you N FI HIB NIN Y A N will hear it. A storm is coming, E X P E RO O FRID menacing and pulsating with BY

intent to sweep away all in its path. In its eye there is a force, a raiding party, lustful, brooding and terrifying when it strikes. It carries not sword, nor musket, but thunder is its voice and lightning is its gaze.

It will lay waste those who look upon it, and yea, will they forever speak of the day The Armada landed upon their shore.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Former Tea Party front man Jeff Martin and legendary percussionist Wayne Sheehy are on a mission. With their newly formed rockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;roll powerhouse, The Armada, the dynamic duo are set to launch an attack on the aural landscape, mixing the captured audio slaves of numerous campaigns into a

set of wholly new material for release in the Autumn.

Drawing on the pairs vast experience of both studio and live performance, this album is a declaration of intent. Yes, the culmination of months of work, but only the beginning of the real campaign, getting out on the road and storming the gates of complacency. This is where east meets west, past meets future, now meets then, light meets shade, they shake hands and slug it out.

Following on from his time as band leader with Canadian three piece The Tea Party, Jeff Martinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s move to Ireland has yielded a creative spurt in the seminal guitarists psyche. Blending his love of balls to wall rock with his enduring fascination with middle eastern, Indian and Turkish music, the spark blossomed to a flame once his new studio, Kingdom, was completed. Nestled in the hills overlooking Dunmanus Bay,

Jeff has created an analogue wonderland, free from the computerised enhancements of so much of todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s music scene. Old school mic techniques, an array of exotic instruments and good olâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; performance capturing is what makes this place tick.

And it ticks like a time bomb.

And when the bomb goes off, the sound you will hear is the thundering drums of Wayne Sheehy. Having cut his teeth with cult Irish band Cactus World News, and following up with an illustrious career as skin man to the likes of Ronnie Wood and Bo Diddley, Wayneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s awesome force behind a kit is the perfect complement to Jeff â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s searing guitar work.

Even as an acoustic two piece (the pair having been touring with this setup for the past two years), they are a sight and sound to behold. No half measures here, every gig is a flat out tornado of passion, refined in its content, raucous

in its delivery.

Jeff Martinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Armada are coming, run for your lives, but toward the storm, it will wash your soul clean, blow away the cobwebs from your mind and leave you wondering where they came from. Is it heaven, is it hell, who cares, who can tell. Tuesday November 18 at the Hotel Great Northern. Tix $46 from Oztix.

Classic movies abound on the airwaves this week. If you are lucky enough to live near an independent video shop you can rent these titles. But if your local video shop is one of the big franchises they tend not to keep old movies on the shelvesâ&#x20AC;Ś 1. Despite the strong claims of Anthony Sher, Laurence Olivier was the defining Richard III of the 20th century, and he made a film of the play to boot (ABC2, Saturday 10pm).

2. William Wylerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ben Hur (NBN, Saturday 12.30pm) was made without the benefit of computer generated images, and still retains its punch.

3. Slow going at times but packed with extraterrestrial feeling, Stanley Kubrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2001: A Space Odyssey (SBS, Sunday 9.35pm) remains one of the most imaginative films of an imaginative filmmaker.

LOMILOMI - Sticks and stones may break your bones, but in Lomilomi they will heal you. This Hawaiian bodywork is often referred to as ‘the dance of massage’, with the practitioner incorporating Hula and Tai Chi style movements into the treatment. Traditionally this knowledge was handed down to family members in Hawaii, however 25 years ago Hawaiian elder Aunty Margaret Machado from the Big Island decided to share her knowledge with those with a passion to learn this healing art. Prayer (pule), breath (ha), and energy (mana) are used to clear congestions in the body of a physical and a sprirtual nature.

The more physical aspect includes rubbing and rolling of the skin with hands, elbows, forearms, knees, feet, sticks and stones.

AQUARIUS: This week ushers helpful people into the Aquarian orbit. On Thursday your planetary ruler creative Uranus could provide a lightning bolt eureka moment, a lucky flash of intuition or understanding that throws light on a partnership power surge in time to avoid fried wiring.

By Friday the mist lifts, your vision clears and then it’s the right time for confident decision making.

Viswanathan Anand may find himself enjoying his world title for a little longer than expected if the chaos surrounding the challengers’ qualifying match continues.

Anand is supposed to play the winner of a Veselin Topalov versus Gata Kamsky match in 2009 but a press release by the President of the world body FIDE indicates that this month’s scheduled Candidates Final is in trouble.

In June FIDE awarded the match to Lvov, the Ukraine, with FIDE President Kirsan Iljumzhinov guaranteeing the prize money of $A1m.

For months Iljumzhinov has refused to honour his guarantee despite constant reminders and this week he issued a remarkable statement blaming Kamsky’s manager for not finding the $1m!

Iljumzhinov then explained his plan to offer the match to Topalov’s native Bulgaria – even though Kamsky had previously refused to play there,

Instead of exchanging rooks directly, Chirita found the clever intermediate move 45...e5+ and after 46.Kg4 Rxd5 47.exd5 Kg6 White had no way through and had to give up the struggle: 48.Kf3 Kf5 49.Kg3 h5 50.Kf3 e4+ 51.Ke3 Ke5 0-1 a

he travels to a conference in New York to deliver a paper and when he enters the small apartment that he owns in the Village he finds it occupied

by Syrian Tarek and his Senegalese girlfriend, Zainab.

Both are illegals. Walter lets them stay until they can make alternative arrangements.

Tarek plays African drums in a jazz club and in Central Park and Walter, who had been trying unsuccessfully to learn the piano, takes him up on his offer to tutor him in the ancient art of drumming, the lessons stirring dormant passions in the older man.

Written and directed by Thomas McCarthy, who beguiled us with The Station Agent, the movie is divided into two sections. The first covers the heady days of Walter’s awakening as he is won over by the ebullient Tarek and his seductive music. A turning point comes when Tarek is arrested in the The Visitor subway and incarcerated ‘Bring me your tired, your in a detention centre. Part poor, your huddled masses two concerns itself primarily yearning to breathe free …’ with the tender relationship How telling that this quiet, that grows between Walter touching love story should and Moula, Tarek’s mother, be screened at a moment in played by Hiam Abbass, the history when, misguidedly or Arab beauty most recently otherwise, there is an almost seen in The Lemon Tree universal belief that Barack at Mullum Flicks.

A mild

a mob of gravelly gunslingers at a showdown. The ensuing tragedy is expertly veiled and brilliantly filmed by Richard Michalak, whose photography is breathtaking throughout, but especially so when he takes the camera underwater. The patois is spot on and the energy level never falters, thanks to a cast of fine young actors, with Reshad Strik as Victor an eye catcher.

There is no great sense that anybody has broken through to a clearer understanding of themselves, but the movie’s strength is in its frankness and honesty. It depicts perfectly that time of life when the conflict between peer group pressure and the need to find an individual identity is never more volatile. Faithful to the world that it inhabits, without warning – and it was the last thing I expected – it quite choked me up at the end. ~ John Campbell

mannered man on a slow boil, Walter arrives at a point where he cannot control his rage at the stonewall apathy of a flunky who helps maintain a security regime that, through personal involvement, Walter now sees as one of brutal inflexibility and psychological cruelty – a regime that has been put in place to preserve the unquestioned liberty that once shone so brightly for the world’s huddled masses. ~ John Campbell

across from a pavilion like an island, a guest lounge complete with bare-legged guest dangling in a swinging cane chair.

The restaurantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name does not, as I had thought, imply a menu of oriental persuasion â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it was conceived because of the Balinese style, feel and design of the five-star resort.

Going back at night was to partake of an extra dimension. A soft still night meant that there was no question of not having pre-dinner drinks outside by the pool, where we were briefly entertained by the langorous splashes of a breast-stroking couple, until their small child called them away. There seemed no hurry to do anything at all, and Scott, our man for the evening (whom I remembered some years ago from Raeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s) ensured that our drinks were topped up in that seamless silent way only consummate waiters know. When we moved inside there was confit ocean trout flaking fatly and pinkly into its watercress sauce; baby beetroots crimson and gold with beetroot jelly and fresh white cheese on a plate which looked like art; butter-soft Wagyu beef with peas and potatoes and the cutest little beef pithivier; dense rich chocolate pudding to share over the last of our red wine. Time seemed to float until, so lusciously sated, it was time to consider taxis. Which was when the final gift of gracious hospitality was offered in the form of a lift home by a tired but smiling girl still in her checked trousers.

Over and above the call of hospitality was the lift from Bamboo restaurant back to our inferior hotel by one of the chefs at the end of an enchanted evening. That felicitous combination of the personal with the extreme professional preceding it proved to me â&#x20AC;&#x201C; even had I dined less magnificently than I had â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that here was a place whose perfect pitch had been struck. Moreover, the head chef, whose food it was we had come to eat, was not even there that evening; the kitchen did not skip a beat.

Some lucky group of ten people had the luxury of a private dinner cooked exclusively for them by Greg Pieper that same night â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a prize for a competition, I believe. Greg has obviously been a prize himself for the Santai resort at Casuarina which houses the restaurant. This is a chef whose apprenticeship was at The Cellar in the Hunter Valley vineyards, who went on to work at Lillianfels and Darleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the Blue Mountains before heading north where he worked at Raeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and helped set up Olivo, both in Byron Bay, and did a 3-year stint with Phillip Johnson of Ecco fame, ending up at Kingscliff running Marine with his then-partner Toby Bamford. He and Toby opened eight restaurants in seven years; Sandbar and Bamboo are where Greg, currently running solo, is now. The eldest of five children, he always loved cooking and tended to experiment on the family.

Everything inspires him: produce from the mountains and the vineyards, country produce, produce from the sea â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and while he claims not to have an â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;ideal restaurantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, his huge enthusiasm for the current location, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;country-living by the seaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, as he puts it, suggests that Bamboo might be close.

It had been daytime when I first drove up to meet Greg. He took me on a little tour around the place â&#x20AC;&#x201C; through the restaurant and out to where the pool lapped lazily

Blackboard at the Beach up the Lake Ainsworth end of Lennox Head has, in the capable hands of Felisa Earley and Ben Beesley, been a quietly achieving cafe for some time now, with a steady following of mostly local clientele â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in fact sometimes thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a seat to be had on the beachfront deck. Seats may soon be harder to find since chef Dennis Baker joined the team. Originally from Tasmania (he did his apprenticeship at award-winning Fee & Me), he ended up in the kitchen at Tetsuyaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where he spent about 18 months. When he and his partner made the sea change to Lennox Head he fronted up at Blackboard looking for work, and was snapped up immediately. This writer enjoyed a superb lunch of meltingly tender calamari rings on plump Israeli couscous, baby rocket, caperberries, roast capsicum and a peppery dressing washed down with a glass of crisp Giesen â&#x20AC;&#x201C; now looking forward to checking out the dinner menu! Blackboard at the Beach is at 50 Pacific Parade, Lennox Head â&#x20AC;&#x201C; phone 6687 4333.

SNACKS TO THE RESCUE Brookfarm, Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most awarded producer of gourmet macadamia products, has simultaneously launched a new range of muesli bars and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;walkaboutâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; mixes and formed a partnership with Rainforest Rescue in a bid to protect habitat in the Daintree Rainforest. Their gourmet muesli is well-known and award-winning and now there are two great-tasting bars (one gluten-free) along with three fruit and nut mixes representing â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;the ultimate in gourmet snackingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Part of the proceeds from the sale of the new range is being donated by Brookfarm to Rainforest Rescue.

These new additions could well be winners too: the Mt. Bogong blend, in particular, of muscatels, almonds, pistachios, cranberries and seeds â&#x20AC;&#x201C; oh, and Belgian dark chocolate â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is especially heavenly.

Mullum to Bruns to run again in 2009 After a well earned rest and time to ponder on the successful event, the date for the 2009 Mullum to Bruns Run and Walk has been confirmed for Sunday August 16.

There will be some changes made to the event including a new starting venue and time for walkers.

In August this year, the walking section of the race headed of from Apex Park next to the old Mullumbimby Railway Station.

The new venue for the take -off will be the Mullumbimby Primary School at 8:45am and a new finishing venue in Park Street opposite Banner Park.

The inaugural Mullum to Bruns Run and Walk event was a great success with 803 participants completing the course, of these, 158 represented 44 families and 86 were under 19 years of age, 18 of these being pushed in strollers.

The total amount donated from the event to charities was $14,062, half each being gifted to the Brunswick Valley Rescue Squad and to Oxfam Australia.

The Rescue Squad will use the $7,000 to upgrade and maintain equipment and

John’s all for one and one in the hole Upper Main Arm produced a golfing legend on the weekend when John Turton got a hole-in-one during his regular Saturday arvo game at the Mullumbimby Golf Club.

This was a first for John but the second for the club in recent times. John’s playing partners in the match Keith Myers, Marco Mohler and Jack Isaac said the the ball was a ‘warm burner’ that just kept going and going.

The men were playing a 4 ball, best ball and the hole-inone on the 5th, gave John 5 stableford points for the hole and the 5th, also being the ‘Super Pin’ and a jackpotting hole, meant that as an added bonus, John potted $123 for his efforts, match sponsors Gordon Brown and Con Theodossiou also chipped in a bottle of red from which John had a well deserved glass to celebrate.

Sockers knock kids for Sixers Frisbee is the Ultimate

‘Socker’ Todd Buckland cruises easily to second base during the match against the ‘Sixers’ who much to their surprise, lost to the team of teachers and parents. Has this set the trend for future Lyn Cochrane Cups? Photo Sharon Boggis

The students, parents and teachers of St Finbarr’s primary school in Byron Bay found a novel way to celebrate the impending graduation of their year six class recently by playing a game of softball: against each other.

‘We had a very involved group of parents in this year six class,’ said School Forum Chair and year six mum Anne Leitch.

‘We also have several families who have been with the school a long time and are leaving and we wanted to have a fun event to say goodbye.’

The class of ‘08 ‘Sixers’ fought valiantly against a combined team of parent

and teacher ‘Sockers’ in the inaugural Lyn Cochrane Cup, an event that was named after one of the schools current long serving teachers, to honour her dedication to the school and its student community.

The whole student body of St Finbarr’s Primary School came out to watch the battle in which the Sixers fully expected to rise victorious over their aged opponents.

The Sixers outnumbered the Sockers almost two to one in players on the field (but perhaps not in years or biomass), and were not only cocky, but had the support of the spectators behind them.

‘It was a game full of spirit,’ said Anne who played for the Sockers. ‘The kids were excited because they thought they were going to beat us oldies, but what we lacked in speed, we made up for in wiliness.’

In a victory of age over beauty the Sockers narrowly defeated the Sixers with a1210 win in the cup and Socker Luci Burvill was awarded ‘player of the day’ for her spectacular dive and roll catch.

The kids licked their wounds and icecream after the match and this year’s ‘Fivers’ put a few parents tricks in the memory banks to add to the game next year when they become the new Sixers.

Which of us have not at one time or other thrown a frisbee back and forth in a park or on the beach?

Most people are not aware that what we consider as the game of frisbee is actually an active non-contact competitive sport which combines elements of netball and touch football in a game that is a fast paced and athletic sport with leaps, layouts, and sprints played by over 100 teams who compete in various tournaments throughout Australia.

Competitions usually involve a mixed of ages and genders Regulation ultimate frisbee or simply ‘Ultimate’ as it is called by those in the know, is played between two teams of seven players. In informal pick-up games, the number of players varies. Substitutions are allowed between points, and teams are usually able to have around 20 players on their roster in a major tournament.

If you know the difference between your Hammer and your Strip, or your Huck and your Stacks then you will fit right in next weekend when the Byron Bay Ultimate Frisbee Team hosts the very first ‘Byron Bay Surf and Turf Tournament’.

The Byron team is currently made up of men and women aged 16 and over and is hoping to make the coming competition a permanent fixture for years to come.

The tournament starts on Saturday at the beach, depending on the weather and

the Sunday session will be at the Rec fields from around 9am. Those not aware of what Utlimate Frisbee is about are invited to come and check it out.

Any Ultimate players who might be interested in joining the fun can simply turn up on the day, you might even catch a glimpse of some players who recently represented Australia in an international tournament held in Canada.

For more information about the Byron Bay Surf and Turf Tournament, leave a message with Andrew on 0408 500 071 and for a look at Ultimate visit: www.afda.com.

Vipers Futsal needs a helping hand The Northern NSW Futsal ‘Vipers’ 14 years boys team, came second in the point score competition yesterday at Caloundra at the Country Futsal Titles.

The boys beat eight other teams to come runners up, not bad for a group which had not played together before the tournament and who have now qualified for the National State and Club titles to be held in Sydney in January.

There were outstanding performances by the team which includes students from Byron Bay High, Trinity and Woodlawn in Lismore, Alstonville High, and Southern Cross Distant Ed. The boys hail from right accross the Norhter Rivers region and had to play against some tough competition and teams that had been together for years, many of the Vipers were playing up a division as they are only 12.

The team was composed of Nat Caldwell, Nathan Veness, Joel Clare, Zeb Branton, Paddy Cable, Toby Barton, Nick Steel, Max Harlem and coach www.echo.net.au

The team unfortunately does not currently have the funds to supply transport and accommodation for the Sydney event.

This is the strongest team the Noerthern Rivers region

has produced and it would be a shame for the regional families to miss out again.

The National Futsal Championships will be held from January 13-15 and where the boys hope to represent the state and the Nation Team Futsal Championships will

be held on January 17 and 18 where the boys, if there, will represent Northern NSW against other NSW Club teams including Sydney and teams from other states. Both events will be held at the Minto Sport and Leisure stadium.

Byron Bay Camping & Disposals is due by December 14 to register a team and secure accomodation and the Vipers are hoping to travel by bus and stay in cheap accommodation close to Minto Stadium.

Coach Aaron Smith is a competitive futsal player himself at 19 and coaches the Vipers as a way of supporting upcoming juniors and to give back to the sport.

Aaron has been a fantastic mentor to the boys in both futsal and life skills and is very pleased with the results the team have achieved in such a short period of time together.

Next for the boys is the Brisbane Cup in December.

They will now begin intense training including specialist sport psychology training and Australian Institute of Sport Conditioning Training.

The boys will also compete at the Pacific Titles in 2009 which includes teams from all over Australia, Asia and New Zealand.

For more information about the team or to offer sponsorship support, please phone Liss on 0407 918 031.

I would like to thank all my clients and friends for their support and understanding over the last two years.

This understanding allowed me to care for my mum Joyce Pallister and this allowed her to remain with me.

I would like to thank mumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doctor and all the staďŹ&#x20AC; at Ocean Shores Medical Centre.I would also like to thank every carer at the Brunswick Respite Centre for caring for my mum and for making each visit a happy one and peace of mind for me.

Also thank-you to all the staďŹ&#x20AC; from the Ex-Services Community Care.

Mum slipped peacefully away on the October 15th 2008.
