Broken back brings Tanja strong support

a day were arriving at the Branson house, and with Tanja now out of hospital but still incapacitated the meals and help are still coming. The Bransons’ WWOOFers have expanded their workload to help Ian on the farm, and countless friends and Shearwater parents have taken the boys off Ian’s hands for playdates, freeing up his time for hospital visits and life’s errands. The Parkers take every weekend away from their own responsibilities on the Gold Coast to drive down and be close to their friends and do everything they can to help, and one lady is even helping out with the housework. She does the

Power provider Country Energy is now calling for public submissions on its $70 million plan to upgrade the electricity network between Lismore and Mullumbimby. Included in the proposal are improvements to existing zone substations – with an upgrade planned at Mullumbimby – and construction of new substations near Brunswick Heads and at Skinners Shoot. Regional general manager, Brian Glawson, said a number of options had been investigated, including duplicating existing high voltage powerlines in existing corridors, modifying existing powerlines to operate at a higher voltage, and constructing new powerlines in new corridors. ‘We’ve decided that modifying the existing network will minimise any environmental impact and have the least effect on landowners,’ Mr Glawson said. ‘We’ve received valuable feedback from the community, which has helped shape our preferred option. For example, at Mullumbimby there was strong opposition to our plan to remove the old hydro power station, so we went back to the drawing board and found a way to retain it, while still achieving our end goal.’ The project’s Environmental Assessment report has now been submitted to the NSW Department of Planning for approval. Once approval has been granted, the work will be staged over several years. During February, Country Energy will hold information sessions at a number of north coast locations. Locally, sessions will be held at Byron Bay Golf Club on February 11, 11am7pm; Ewingsdale Hall on February 16, 1.30pm-5.30pm; and at Mullumbimby CWA Rooms on February 17, 1pm-6pm.

When Tanja Branson of Left Bank Road, Mullumbimby, fell from her horse, fracturing three vertebrae, the prognosis was bleak. Tanja was told she may never walk again, but with a strong will, a healthy body and inexhaustible help from the community Tanja is back on her feet, albeit with a moulded plastic girdle to disable spinal movement. Tanja and Ian Branson and their three young boys only moved to the area from the Gold Coast hinterland last year, so they were greatly surprised and humbled when their neighbourhood rallied around them

as news of her accident spread. ‘Thank you just doesn’t seem enough’, said Tanja, ‘I am feeling so grateful to be out of hospital and so blessed to be in this area. ‘The accident was so much more than just falling off a horse. When we first moved here I injured my hand, then just last November I broke my ankle. I was being told to slow down but I kept going. This has forced me to stop and now I am learning about all the incredible, caring people around me. ‘It took a broken back to realise how special this area is and for us to accept and be grateful for all that is around us. People may think one

meal from them doesn’t make a difference, but it does, “from little things big things grow”.’ The Bransons and their good friend Leonie Parker of the Gold Coast told The Echo of the support the family has received since the accident. With Tanja in hospital, Ian’s hands were tied up looking after their boys, their property, their horses, their vegetable garden (which is also their livelihood) and the housework, and all of this in between visits to see his wife. When news of the Branson’s predicament reached fellow Shearwater Steiner School parent Jill Coakley she called other parents and organised a meal roster. Sometimes three or four meals

The official Australia Day Citizens Awards ceremony fell on The Echo’s production day last Monday, so this is our first opportunity to report on who got what. For the first time in the history of the awards, no nominations were received for two categories. Thus, there were no awards handed out for the Sportsperson of the Year or Young Person of the Year. There was however a new category in place this year for Volunteer of the Year and this award went to Michael Malloy, often known as the ‘Mayor of Bangalow’ due to his wide-reaching involvement in the town. Malloy commits forty hours a week to volunteer work with various community groups and charities. He is the President of the Bangalow Chamber of Commerce, an ex Byron Shire Councillor, the organiser of the Bangalow Christmas Eve Event, one of the organisers of Bangalow Billy Cart Derby, involved in the Writers Festival, the Bangalow Music Festival, the Bangalow Rugby Club and is the manager of Bangalow’s A&I Hall and is heavily involved in the hall’s upgrades. He also started the Kids in the Kitchen Cooking School together with the Bangalow Cooking School. Mayor Jan

Barham said he is a ‘tireless worker for community’ with the aforementioned involvements just a few of the groups Malloy is involved with. Michael Malloy told The Echo, ‘When I look around at all the other volunteers in the Shire I feel it is quite an honour to receive such an award. I see it as recognition for all volunteers in the Shire – there are a lot of people doing wonderful work out there.’ Community Event of the Year was this year awarded to the Disabled Surfers Association for their ‘Have a Go Day’, a day for people with disabilities

The Environmental Assessment will be available for viewing at Byron Shire Council’s administration buildings. It will also be available on the Department of Planning website. Mr Glawson said the proposed upgrade would secure the region’s power supply for at least the next 25 years and

ensure the electricity network was capable of meeting existing and future energy needs. ‘The Far North Coast is marked for major residential and commercial growth, which is why in 2008-09 alone, Country Energy will invest more than $80 million maintaining and improving the electricity network locally,’ he said. ‘We

Disabled people are no different, they are not looking for sympathy, they just want a fair go and a chance to get into the water. ‘They take care of it themselves from there.

Kevin and Justine in hot water Organisers say over 100 people attended a Climate Action Day at Brunswick Heads on Sunday prior to the National Day of Action which is being held in Canberra and other capital cities this Tuesday. The day was organised by a coalition of concerned community groups to highlight the urgent need for individuals and governments to take immediate, decisive action to reduce carbon emissions and address the climate crisis. Guest speakers Dr Mark Byrne from the Environmental Defenders Office, and Byron Shire Councillor Tom Tabart provided insight into the laborious processes of government and international negotiations. ‘The lack of a sense of urgency or real leadership means there is no likelihood of any effective international response any time soon,’ said Cr Tabart. Evidence of coral bleaching, melting ice caps and extreme weather were clear indicators the climate crisis is real and is happening, according to Dailan Pugh from BEACON and Bob Oehlman from CONOS,who

focussed on the impact on wildlife and the environment. Deborah Lilly, Mullumbimby Community Action Network, Karin Kolbe from TOOT, Judy McDonald and Helena Norberg-Hodge, outlined the problems of globalisation and the growth economy and the importance of localisation and lifestyle choices.

Producing food locally, shopping locally and the provision of adequate public transport, especially a commuter rail service, are simple, painless ways to reduce our carbon footprint. The need to keep up the pressure on the government and demand they place as much importance on dealing with climate change as on the econom-

ic meltdown was the message conveyed by all the speakers. After all the serious news a bit of light relief was provided by some comedy. ‘Brian Door’ interviewed ‘Kevin Rudd’ and ‘Justine Elliot’ lookalikes who then demonstrated how difficult it is keeping their heads above water while trying to ignore the realities of climate change.

MARA blasts subdivision marketing The Main Arm Residents Association (MARA) said in a press release last week it was ‘shocked to find that Chincogan Real Estate of Mullumbimby is advertising lots in a rural residential subdivision on the south side of Main Arm hamlet without final DA approval by Council. ‘Called “Habitat Glen”, the seven lot freehold subdivision is being marketed on the web (average lot price of $340,000) with a ground plan that differs substantially from the one proposed in the original DA presented to Council last April. Council staff contacted by MARA have stated that an amended DA has not yet been received by Council, and would still have to be publicly re-exhibited before approval can be considered.’ In response Jim Mangleson of Chincogan Real Estate told The Echo, ‘It is standard prac-

tice to sell properties subject to approval. The response to the blocks from both local and interstate families has been fantastic. ‘The interest has shown the need for freehold land in this shire. This small scale development has been in the public domain for over seven years with public consultation a key part of the design.’ MARA said Habitat Glen is ‘being promoted as a “creekfront land release” with advertising material erroneously identifying the subdivision as being located alongside “Main Arm Creek,” described as a “tranquil gravel bottom flowing creek”. ‘The development is actually located on the banks of the Brunswick River and Blindmouth Creek, well known to locals as a raging torrent during periodic flooding events.

Only a year ago floodwaters were strong enough to sweep a car off the Main Arm causeway, resulting in the tragic death of a local driver. Notwithstanding this incident and a well documented history of serious accidents on the causeway due to flooding, the real estate agent is promoting this subdivision as “flood free”. ‘Council in correspondence with the developer on April 17, 2008 (obtained by MARA through a freedom of information request) stated: “All the village allotments are located within the 1 in 100 year flood prone land”, which is also confirmed by Council’s official flood map. ‘The State Department of Natural Resources told Council at the rezoning stage: “It is inappropriate to allow development within the flood zone… and any reduction in

this area may exacerbate flooding elsewhere… The Department is opposed to the creation of any new properties which adjoin a defined watercourse in particular the Brunswick River and Blindmouth Creek in the Main Arm area.” ‘In order to approve this development, Council will have to contravene its own 2004 development design guidelines for onsite sewage management, which would set a dangerous precedent for similar environmentally unsafe development to occur elsewhere in the Shire. ‘MARA urges Councillors to stand up and protect this environmentally sensitive area, located as it is at the headwaters of the Brunswick River water catchment, and to consider more seriously the safety and health impacts of the proposed developments on Main Arm.’

The Currans bid Pippi’s goodbye Story & photo Eve Jeffery

Ocean Shores couple Denise and Roger Curran arrived from Melbourne five years ago to enjoy the north coast lifestyle and to spend more time with their daughter Cass and her growing family. Three years ago they saw an opportunity for employment and income and became the proud owners of Pippi’s restaurant in New Brighton, giving Denise the chance to do one of the things she most loves – cook – but it was more the people who visited the restaurant which made their experience such a joy. ‘When we first opened our doors we were excited, bewildered, anxious and enthusiastic,’ says Denise. ‘We had such an eclectic mix of patrons with eclectic tastes, from locals coming for a quick early morning coffee to holiday makers wanting a three course meal with wine. We really enjoyed the relationships that we forged with our customers. We have met many lovely people who will remain friends.’ The Currans said the only downside to running a business like Pippi’s was the inability to support old friends back in Melbourne and the feeling that they were passing responsibility for

elderly family members in Brisbane to other family members, but Denise said that the only real low point in three years was last January and February when, like lots of businesses in the shire, the business suffered from the unremitting rain. Due to health and family reasons, Denise and Roger have called it a day but they have mixed emotions about their decision. ‘It is a bit of relief that we have some time to recover and catch up with

friends and family, but there is also sadness that it is over.’ Pippi’s finally closed its doors after a wonderful celebration on Australia Day. Denise and Roger were moved by the show of appreciation from their patrons. ‘The highlight of our time at Pippi’s would have to be the wonderful farewell party,’ said Denise. ‘Hundreds of our customers came to celebrate the good times and to wish us well. ‘It was a very memorable 12 hour event that confirmed

for us that the community valued what we had done at Pippi’s. When we decided to leave, it was these people who showered us with gifts, helped paint and clean and cooked us meals. There are many special people in our community and we are delighted to have been part of it.’ And what is next for Pippi’s? ‘Well, there are a few interested parties looking at the business,’ says Denise. ‘We’ll just have to wait and see.’

More funding for Bruns Landcare restoration works Brunswick Valley Landcare (BVL) has recently received funding for two new restoration projects. BVL is a partner in the successful cross-catchment consortium project developed by the Big Scrub Landcare group that has received $368,000 from the NSW/federal government’s ‘Caring for our Country’ program. The BVL locality group at Tristran Parade off Left Bank Road, Mullumbimby, has received $12,624 from the NSW government’s Environmental Trust ‘Community Restoration and Rehabilitation’ program. Jane Wickers, the coordinator for the Tristran Parade locality group, said, ‘We are a

motivated group of residents who have been working together over the last few years to revegetate our neighbourhood. We are especially thrilled as we knew this funding was hard to get and have been told that 55 applications were received with only 22 projects being approved. This support from the Environmental Trust will help us further protect and restore our local swamp sclerophyll forest.’ Swamp sclerophyll forest on coastal floodplains is classified as an Endangered Ecological Community in NSW and once completed this project will create the largest remnant of this ecosystem in the western part

of the Brunswick Valley catchment. The group would also like to educate landowners, Landcarers and the local community on how to restore and protect this threatened community and will be holding a community workshop to showcase the results at the end of the project. New members are welcome to join the group and also help with another of their aims, which is to create a local wildlife corridor. As part of the ‘Restoring Lowland Rainforest in the NSW North Coast Bioregion’ project, $38,100 will be spent over 12 months on eight BVL sites including the Marshalls Creek Nature Reserve, home

to the Jingatee BVL Locality group. Byron Shire Council is also a consortium partner and it will be allocating part of its funding to the council-owned Yalakool Reserve in Ocean Shores where the Yalakool BVL locality group has been working since 2005. If you want to join BVL, work with your locality group, or find out how they can source ‘Environmental Trust’ or ‘Caring for our Country’ funding, contact BVL project officer Judy MacDonald on 6684 5390 (Wednesdays and Thursdays) or Wendy Gibney, the Byron Community Support Officer on 6626 7028 (Mondays and Wednesdays).

More parking for Byron market The Byron Bay monthly market will soon see a large increase in parking thanks to months of hard work, extensive discussion and collaboration. The Byron Community & Cultural Centre, which manages the markets, the North Coast Market Stall Holders Association and Byron Shire Council have been in negotiation for months over the issue. The February market saw the first trial of a stallholder’s carpark, a 100 car space dry weather car park located at the

end of the Sommerset Street Reserve, near the amenities block. Stallholders, who are the first to arrive and last to leave the market site, have a specially designated parking zone – effectively freeing up 100 extra parking spaces for patrons and market customers. It is hoped that the new parking system will create more like 200-300 extra car parks as patrons do not park for the whole market day as stall holders do. To further encourage a high-

er rotation of cars through the market parking, Council is in the process of printing twohour limit parking signs for the northern side of Sommerset St by the March market. ‘All of these measures are being done at no extra cost to stall holders or market patrons,’ said BCCC in a press release. ‘This effective and practical solution to a longstanding problem with the Byron market is thanks to the BCCC market managers who have been working for months with the

relevant interest groups.’ BCCC manager Barbara Keen is delighted to see ‘the months of dedication given to solving this parking problem come to an effective resolution. ‘It’s a great testament to everyone involved. ‘We have all been working so hard together to find a solution to this situation where everyone wins. ‘My thanks go out to everyone who has been working with us on this issue,’ she said.

Concern over Sunseeker development plans Residents of Oakland Crt, Byron Bay, claim that the proposed development of the Sunseeker Motel on Bangalow Road, will have a serious impact on their quiet street. Resident Kevin Devlin told The Echo, ‘The new owner Vincent Rae – of Rae’s on Watego’s – bought the motel for $4 million and plans to invest $11 million to accommodate a conference centre, restaurant, shops and a further 48 units.’ Mr Devlin claims that Mr Rae also plans to change the

Ian Branson said, ‘This whole experience has been too amazing. To have so many people turn up and offer their help, especially when we are so new to the area, is just indescribable. Leonie is right, perhaps I wouldn’t have asked for or readily accepted help, she did that on our behalf, but now I have learned that when

you accept a gift that is offered in earnest you are in fact giving too. ‘This has been a life-changing experience for our family. We have embraced the accident as something that happened to bring about positive changes in our lives. ‘It has been so humbling to have people offer so much of themselves. So often in life we experience the negative side of humanity but we have been flooded with generosity and caring for weeks.

Energy and love Our business is growing healing food. How amazing it has been to be embraced by so many people, most of them virtual strangers, and be able to take all that energy and love and put it back into the garden. It’s such a high.’ Get your loved-up veges any day at the Branson market garden, 404 Left Bank Road or visit www.localnudefood. com.

Local News

Little hill attracts big attention Jann Gilbert

Suellen Watson started an avalanche. When she heard that the north face of Mt Chincogan was up for sale she decided to write to The Echo and encourage the community to join together to buy this iconic piece of North Coast history. ‘I just thought there had to be something the community could do,’ says Suellen. ‘If you keep talking about it and communicating, something’s got to happen. If we can save some local history, particularly aboriginal history, then it must benefit the community.’ Now it seems the idea is beginning to take hold with missives from the vendor and Rainforest Rescue (see letters pages) encouraging locals to take the opportunity to return the mountain to the community and enable access to its walking tracks and dizzying heights. Mt Chincogan looms large in Mullumbimby history. The town’s name is thought to derive from the language of the Bundjalung people with ‘muli’ said to mean ‘hill’. The full name has been interpreted as meaning ‘small round hill’ – a reference to the mountain beneath which the town is situated. Even the road to Mullum was carefully designed to frame Mt Chincogan on entry and exit. The vendor, who wishes to be known as ‘RG’, believes it would be ‘wonderful’ to see his property returned to the community, and that his original

intention was to ‘revegetate the entire north face of the mountain and restore it to its former glory,’ However, red tape and costs have proved too much for one person and, reluctantly, he has decided to sell. Rainforest Rescue Executive Officer Kelvin Davies believes the amount of interest generated by the sale is a clear ‘indication of the level of interest the community has in the mountain being purchased, placed into community hands and its native rainforest vegetation restored.’ Vegetation surveys by Rainforest Rescue indicate that the mountain still holds rare and threatened species of plants and ‘spectacular views of the coast and Cape Byron.’ With all of Mt Chincogan currently under private ownership Mr Davies believes that

this is a perfect opportunity to unite with the community to purchase what he believes ‘has the potential to become a great asset for the people and environment of the Byron Shire as well as for regional tourism.’ Mayor Jan Barham agrees it would be ‘a great thing for the community to do,’ unfortunately however, ‘Council couldn’t afford to buy it.’ ‘For Council to consider contributing to the purchase we’d have to look at all the options and weight it up in terms of public space, use and access,’ says Cr Barham. ‘There’s a procedure that has to be followed. That money may have already been allocated for other public uses. Council’s priority is to do things in high-conservation areas and we don’t know whether this land falls in that category or not.’

Cr Barham encouraged the community to get together with Rainforest Rescue, which has experience in purchasing land on behalf of communities and protecting and restoring rainforests for the past ten years, to make the purchase a reality. As Kelvin Davies says in his letter, ‘Rainforest Rescue’s success has all been achieved through the voluntary contributions of the community by tax-deductible donations and business sponsorships. If you would like to express your interest in supporting the purchase of Mt Chincogan for the community contact Rainforest Rescue on 6684 4360 or visit www.rainforestrescue.org.au. If enough interest is gathered we will step up our campaign. All that’s needed now is your support.’

Bangalow Village has been refurbished with our residents in mind, and we have transformed the facility into a living and healthy community environment.’ The ACAA awards are an annual event and recognise the best players in the aged care industry across Australia. To add to the achievement, Ms Buckley was also named the 2008 award winner of the Management Category for Excellence in Management. Feros Care has grown from a small, Byron Bay based aged care facility, to an organisation which now provides aged care services to 12 local government areas in NSW and Queensland.

Its Bangalow Village was originally constructed in 1997 with 30 residents. It now supports 64 residents. Feros Care was awarded the ‘Organisation of

Comment

PM assumes role of philosopher king Volume 23 #34

February, 2009

Australia’s day Australian of the Year, Aboriginal activist Mick Dodson, has called for debate on the appropriateness of January 26 (Australia Day) as our national day of patriotic celebration. Why PM Kevin Rudd met the call immediately with a ‘respectful’ no is not entirely clear. The debate is not his to deny or affirm; it is up to the people. For many Aboriginal Australians January 26 is known as Invasion Day or Survival Day. It commemorates the day Captain Arthur Phillip, commander of the First Fleet, arrived at Sydney Cove in 1788 with 11 convict ships and claimed the eastern half of the continent for Great Britain, even though it was not Britain’s to claim. Thereafter followed about 180 years of dispossession and murder of local tribes, so it’s no wonder the date doesn’t bring much joy to Aboriginal hearts. Recognising January 26 as Australia Day is not a hugely time-honoured tradition. It wasn’t until 1935 that the states and territories began to use that name to mark the date, and it was not until 1994 that it was celebrated consistently Australia-wide as a public holiday. See the full history at www.australiaday.org.au. In any case, January 26 does not mark the creation of the nation known as Australia. That came on January 1, 1901, with the proclamation of Federation (www.cultureandrecreation.gov.au/articles/federation). That would be a more logical occasion to recognise Australia Day, though you can also see the logical reluctance of authorities to want to stage celebrations immediately after the hangover of New Years Eve. The day imbued with the most emotion and flag-waving is Anzac Day, April 25. If you wanted to pick another day so charged, and equally involving bloody conflict ending in failure, then it would be hard to go past December 3, when in 1854 the armed resistance of the Eureka Stockade miners was routed by 276 police and military personnel. However if you wanted a day that recognised the full value of all Australian citizens it would have to be May 27. On that day in 1967, in one of the few ‘yes’ votes since Federation, 90.77 per cent of Australians voted to change the Constitution to allow the Commonwealth to make laws for Aborigines and to include them in the census. That vote followed on from growing outrage in the 1960s at the treatment of Aborigines, who gained the Commonwealth right to vote only in 1962 – and the right to vote in Queensland elections in 1965. The point is that being proud of being part of Australia doesn’t necessarily require celebration on January 26 or any other date for that matter. However it does make sense as a gesture of reconciliation to the continent’s first peoples to choose a day other than a reminder of brutish colonisation which has more to do with British history than the diverse nation we have become. – Michael McDonald, editor

he pessimists are proclaiming the end of the lucky country. The global economic crisis, they lament, has brought Australia back to the pack, exposing us as just another second rate nation which has relied on its huge supplies of raw materials to get it through. Now reality has caught up with us and we are revealed as the very ordinary mob we always were. But these naysayers overlook something: Australians have at least had the foresight to elect a leader to see them through the bad times. Our Prime Minister, it now turns out, is not just an inspired and decisive man of action; he is also a philosopher king. Not content with taking swift and resolute short term measures to cushion the international impact as far as possible, Kevin Rudd has found time to write a treatise on the underlying causes of the collapse and, more importantly, to outline the architecture of a new and improved model to prevent it happening again: Capitalism with a human face. Now captious critics will complain that this is not an entirely original idea; over the years writers from the United States, England, France, India and even Russia have attempted the same feat. And in Australia, every government since 1949 has recognised, to a greater or lesser extent, that the market needs to be tempered by a degree of regulation; that government has a role to play in what is essentially a free enterprise system, and that the public sector must remain a part of a well constructed mixed economy. Even John Howard, reviled by Rudd as a zealot espousing a neo-liberal brutopia, did not

T

entirely abandon the idea of well-placed intervention, especially around election times; if the federal treasury had no other function, it was always useful for buying votes. For this reason the predictable screams of the mad right that Rudd has now thrown off his disguise as an economic conservative and has emerged as a rabid socialist complete with horns and tail are not only

A bold ambition, certainly but the opportunity to achieve it will never be better. And Barack Obama seems to be talking the same language. Now there’s a worthwhile goal for the American-Australian alliance. And while we’re on the subject of Obama, here is another philosopher king who is prepared to put his ideals where his mouth is. Apart from be-

Rudd does suggest that the orgy of deregulation that has taken place over the last thirty years has now proved to be a failure… by Mungo MacCallum bad rhetoric but bad politics. By reacting in such an extreme fashion, they give credence to Rudd’s description of them as extremists, greedy sociopaths driven by ruthless self interest. The coming recession and its attendant miseries is all their fault. Rudd, by contrast, commands the high moral ground as healer and statesman. And in fact his position remains a conservative one, firmly in the tradition of the Liberals own founder, Robert Menzies. He has emphasised the need to preserve the idea of capitalism – not to throw the baby out with the bathwater. But he does suggest that the orgy of deregulation that has taken place over the last thirty years has now proved to be a failure and that a sensible, carefully planned, moderate replacement is needed. And he sees the opportunity to set up a new regime not just for Australia, but one that is internationally accepted and recognised.

rating the shonks who award themselves bonuses while demanding public money to fund their mistakes, the new president has enraged the right by removing restrictions on American aid to family planning programs in developing nations. The Christian fundamentalists are, of course, outraged, which is good, but the signal it sends to the world – that America is once again here to help, not to coerce – is even better. Change we can believe in, indeed. One American not overly impressed is Rupert Murdoch, who demanded that Obama defy the American teaching unions (huge donors to Democrat Party funds) and set up an education revolution. He did not, however, suggest that the new system should be modelled on Cuba, which has a higher literacy rate than the USA, or even Australia, where Kevin Rudd and Julia Gillard are engaged

in a similar exercise. Perhaps he was still a bit miffed about not receiving a public thank you from his old mum, who was named by his local flagship The Australian as its joint Australian of the year. (The other end of the joint was horse trainer Bart Cummings, who has also given Rupert a few good tips over the years). Meanwhile the real Australian of the Year, Mick Dodson, got a few backs up by suggesting that as January 26, 1788, was the day Aboriginal Australia was effectively ended, it might be nice to consider another date as the national day of celebration. Kevin Rudd replied with a blunt no, and a number of other fogies noted that Australians (and indeed the Aboriginals) were actually very lucky their continent had been invaded by Britain, with its peerless legal and political system. But it is not just the first Australians who have their doubts about January. Others of us find it strange that whereas other counties like India (whose national day is, coincidentally also January 26) celebrate the start of their independence, Australians are expected to celebrate the start of their colonisation. With any luck this will change when Australia finally gains its full independence and becomes, like India, a republic. In the meantime, we can only hope that the day itself becomes less of an international embarrassment. It was actually Barry Humphries, not Pauline Hanson, who defined ‘xenophobia’ as ‘love of Australia’, but he meant it as a joke. At least we think he did. Watching television last week, you’d have to wonder.

Buying Mount Chincogan â– As the owner of the property

in question (Letters, January 20), perhaps it’s time to add my two cents. I couldn’t agree more that it would be wonderful to see my property, the north east face and north half of the summit of Mt Chincogan, made available to all who wish to scale her dizzying heights. What a great public relations and publicity exercise it would be for Byron Shire Council, or even one of the more prosperous local businesses (Beach Hotel?) to purchase the property, then run a ‘Mount Chincogan Benefit Fund’, where donations could be received. Once an acceptable amount of money was collected, the title could then be handed over to the Parks And Wildlife Service for all to enjoy. We could reinstate the running race known as the ‘Chincogan Charge’, also known as the ‘Chincogan Derby’, once a

major event on the local calendar, and interestingly, originally run up the east side of the mountain! Unfortunately for myself, I do not have the time nor finances to make such a wonderful dream a reality. Anyone with valid ideas or offers on how we can make Mt Chincogan public property, please contact me through my ad in the Echo Classifieds under ‘Properties For Sale’. I’m all ears!

Byron. As all of Mt Chincogan is presently in private ownership there is no public access. Purchase of this land would mean that Mt Chincogan has the potential to become a great asset for the people and environment of the Byron Shire as well as for regional tourism. So how could this purchase be achieved? Rainforest Rescue, a not for profit organisation based in Mullumbimby, has been involved in buying land for communities, and protecting and restoring rainforests for the past ten years. Rainforest Rescue has a proven track record of success in the Daintree rainforest in far north Queensland, having (to date) purchased ten properties and protected them forever in declared Nature Reserves. We also have international projects that focus on the protection and restoration of rainforest and, where

required, property purchase. We’ve planted over 100,000 rainforest trees in the Byron Shire and support numerous local rainforest restoration projects. We are interested in assisting the community to acquire Mt Chincogan. Rainforest Rescue’s success has all been achieved through the voluntary contributions of the community by tax-deductible donations and business sponsorships. If you would like to express your interest in supporting the purchase of Mt Chincogan for the community contact Rainforest Rescue on 6684 4360 or visit www.rainforestrescue.org.au. If enough interest is gathered we will step up our campaign. All that’s needed now is your support.

to me and my kids. This has been especially recognised over the Christmas school holidays as I try to juggle work, kids, and all the other stuff associated with school hols. Sometimes people like Terri are not recognised enough, or we just get caught up in life but I know she does a great job with her family and just recently lost a great friend in Jenny Verroen and I have seen the support she gave Jenny over the years and also to Gerard especially at this time. So I would just like to publicly say thanks to Terri Deborah Lilly for all she does in and around Mullumbimby Wilsons Creek.

long weekend. The event was an outstanding success with an estimated 1,000 people captivated by the vibrant and colourful display of contemporary local Indigenous art. More than 100 artworks were sold to a value exceeding $45,000 with at least one painting travelling overseas and several going to Sydney collectors. But I am mostly indebted to the 40 talented Indigenous artists who displayed their skills in proudly portraying their culture.

Heady elation W B Crompton, your praise (Letters, January 27) is too lavish for me to accept. I am but one aspect of a large network of people comprising over 10% of the population of Mullum, dozens of groups around NSW called People Power Coalition, and groups in Maleny and South Australia. The knowledge you mention is collective. I am impressed that you remembered that I came from UK. Yes, I cut my campaigning activist teeth on a dustpan brushing up road dust from the medieval stone bridge spanning the River Thames so that it could be tested for lead content. The loss of our spacious, unique art deco Regal Cinema, which reeked of memories and provided a meeting place for locals – flattened to make way for an enlargement of nearby Waitrose supermarket – impacted me personally. Champions Hardware,

Hammants Electrical, Painters Grocers – with its large round cheeses and sawdust on the floor – all closed down. Small family businesses disappeared and were replaced by franchises, cafÊs and charity op shops. I have seen it happen, W B. The Henley Standard printed my letters about such things as banning nuclear wastes being transported through the town. That was when I first tasted the heady elation of seeing my contribution in print; something that we perhaps share, eh, W B?

business who is capable of carrying out this project please spread the word. We wish to encourage as much interest and as many applications as possible. The tender has been advertised in the Byron Shire News, the Sydney Morning Herald and the Brisbane Courier from January 24. Tender submissions close February 26. Unfortunately, tender documents are not available via the e-tendering portal from Council’s website, but are available as an electronic file by contacting Michelle or Helen at Byron Council on 6626 7101. We are hoping that the ten-

ders will be within budget needless to say, and that Council will do all they can to facilitate a practical outcome on this longawaited community project. It is a relatively simple construction with many elements of the design being prefabricated. The construction will be managed under expert project supervision conditions.

Intrusive planes

I am a resident of Mullumbimby and I frequently work from my home office. I love living in

Mullum and appreciate both the strong community spirit and the quiet peaceful environment. I find the noise from air traffic completely incongruent with these ideals. I’ve learned from the letters to the editor in The Echo that these planes are not local traffic from Tyagarah but that Mullum is used as a landmark for a pilot-training school based at Coolangatta. Over Mullumbimby training pilots apparently practise aerobatic manoeuvres, including cutting out the engine and practising jump-starting the plane. Maybe it’s just over my house when the engine kicks back in, but it is loud and quite

disturbing. I used to think they were taking off and landing from somewhere near the town. These are not consistent background sounds and it is a frequent occurrence, sometimes several times per day. I have contacted the Byron Council, who referred me to Air Services Australia, who referred me to my local member. Justine Elliott’s office phoned me back within a week of receiving my email and said they would like to represent this issue to Anthony Albanese MP, Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government. Justine’s office would like to

hear from more concerned residents in order to take this forward as a community issue and they suggested we get a petition together. I am too busy to do this but if someone wanted to take it on, a petition would help. In the meantime please let Justine know if you would like to protect the rights of Mullumbimby to retain its peaceful airspace. Mullumbimby doesn’t have to be used as a landmark for training pilots. There must be any number of landmarks that can be used for this purpose. If you would like to protect the peace in the airways over Mullum, contact

Wicked, wicked ways The depth of bias in this piece by your correspondent Jann Gilbert following a letter by Suffolk Park resident Rebecca Olive is absolutely breathtaking. As a very recent arrival in Suffolk, having moved from a beachside suburb in Sydney that is now over-run with bylaw signage and crawling with rangers, I am appalled that there are moves in Byron in a similar direction. Am I missing something? I thought Byron traded worldwide as a refuge for free thinkers and understanding hearts. Many here make good livings from the hapless traveller, even those in Wicked vans. Your editorial assault on the young travellers (with cyclists thrown in) reads very like the ‘Children Overboard’ affair from the Howard era in its eager support for wholesale discrimination against a group of recent arrivals. We would all do well to remember that some of the best arrive by the most humble of means. David Hancock

Contrary to Jenny Coman’s letter many of us are acutely aware of the traffic noise and danger problems on Bangalow’s Granuaille Road. Like Jenny we have been keen to find a solution. We just happen to believe that a southern bypass in the Bangalow valley will just bring more pollution, noise, environmental degradation and loss of visual amenity to the town for relatively small benefit. Another solution is needed. Our view is that when completed, regardless of its route, the T2E together with the completed Ballina and Alstonville bypasses will be more attractive to trucks going to and from Lismore than the Lismore Bangalow Road, notwithstanding a southern bypass of Bangalow. RTA’s own figures bear this out. RTA estimates future travel time differences via the highway compared with using the Bangalow Rd to be only 3½, 4, www.echo.net.au

and 5 minutes slower for cars, trucks and semis respectively (at present the highway is at least 30 minutes slower). Not only will the highway reduce travel times, it will be much safer without the high risk of accidents. It surely makes good future economic sense for freight to get off Granuaille and Bangalow Roads and to go where it should be – on our highways rather than our local roads. All we now need to do is to completely address Bangalow’s noise problem as well as Byron Bay’s traffic congestion by getting the T2E moved east further away from our heritage town.

Mythically bound to the land This year renowned author Robert Drewe gave the Australia Day address at the Brunswick Valley Historical Museum. Below are excerpts. May I tell you of the precise moment when I first became aware of being Australian? I’d just turned seven and it was a hot February Sunday in Perth. Nothing spectacular happened this day, and it mightn’t have stuck in my mind if the way of life, the landscape, the weather and the people hadn’t still been strange and new to me. My mother, brother and I had left Melbourne and followed my father across the country to a better job, and the sudden heatwave that rolled across our sandy suburb a few weeks later was a novel experience. The new school year had just begun and already my secondgrade teacher, the stout, turtle-shaped and crimson-faced Miss Doris Langridge, seemed to detest me. Miss Langridge’s weapon of choice was a fifteen-inch State Education Department-issue wooden ruler. We were all in awe of Miss Langridge’s heavyweight ruler. It was inlaid with little squares of West Australian timbers and its leading edge was inset with metal, the better to slam the fingers of any boy holding his pen at the wrong angle. The first day, Miss Langridge mocked me in front of the class

Shark versus the Dingo. It’s this paradox, this sometimes uneasy relationship between people’s coastal and country natures that makes this part of Australia such a fascinating and idiosyncratic place. People of the Northern Rivers are, above all, hedonists, who enjoy their sensual, casual, invariably coastal pleasures. Always you sense that just over that hill is the rainforest; and back over that dune lies the beach. And people’s natures lie somewhere in between. It’s the sensual, coastal side of their natures that seeks spiritual comfort, that savours music and crafts and surfing, the salty relief of the afternoon southerly and the delicate transitory blossom of the eucalyptus. And for their sense of humour, willingness to lend a helping hand to others, their lauding of hard-work rewarded, and of local business and sporting success, what’s responsible is their pragmatic country souls.

for wearing shoes to school in summer. She said, ‘Does Mummy’s little darling think he’ll get a cold in the tootsies?’ The other boys lapped that up. But my Melburnian mother was adamant: her son would not be educated in bare feet. So began the first survival strategy of my life: removing my shoes and socks every morning on the way to school and stuffing them in my schoolbag until I neared home again.

Miss Langridge had won that one: a bitter smirk greeted the sight of my pale naked toes. As her ruler-of-manylocal-hardwoods whacked my knuckles once more, this time for not sitting up straight, she yelled, ‘You’re slumping, Robert Drewe! You must never slump!’ And then she hissed in my face, ‘One day you’ll slump and never get up again because you’ll be dead!’ That nightmare image, on top of her fierce actions, meant that Sundays now mightily depressed me. They’d turned into a worrying forerunner to Mondays. All day Sunday I anxiously anticipated Monday morning and the savage, overpowdered face of Miss Langridge glowering close to mine, her cheeks quivering with such sudden whipped-up fury that little flakes of dislodged powder floated in the air between us. The second time in my life that I became acutely aware of being Australian was when

I moved here five years ago. Immediately I felt intensely involved in the weather and my surroundings – in the trees and crops and native animals. They changed my whole creative outlook. Suddenly, when I wrote, I found myself introducing the vegetation and wildlife into the story as if they were characters. (Nowadays I have to go through my work editing out brush turkeys and brown snakes. I spend half the day on the Weather Bureau’s website studying the Grafton radar loop.)

Central myths

Australia Day and the welcoming of new citizens brings home to us the fact that most Australian children can grow up in the sun, in a fortunate environment, dreamily lying on the grass amid the carolling of magpies. That is no news to us. What we often fail to grasp is how novel this physical freedom can be to newcomers from other countries. It can amaze outsiders that coastal people seem to carry in their collective unconscious an understanding of the winds and tides, what makes good surf, for example, or fishes’ schooling habits, or the formation of a beach cave, or information about a plant or bird seen nowhere else in the world. How can they know this outdoor stuff so instinctively? Even in times of economic uncertainty, in such an open climate, where immigrant children unfold and grow like flannel flowers in the sun, there is still a feeling that one can accomplish things, take risks without feeling hamstrung by the past or the Establishment way of doing things. Some of this optimism is illusory, a sort of summer mirage, like the way Julian Rocks, viewed from the mainland, sometimes seem to break into pieces and drift off with our memories into the wider ocean. But I believe much of it is true.

I had lived on both sides of Australia, as well as many years overseas, but here in this area, in middle-age, I felt almost mythically bound to the land. As it happens, I believe Australians share two central myths: the myth of landscape and the myth of character, and I think the people of this region are, without question, onehundred-percent inheritors of the myth of landscape. Unlike many other ‘civilised’ Western populations, their spiritual consciousness draws almost totally on the elements and the environment. It’s still colluding with or reacting against attitudes to water and fire, drought and storms, wind and rain, trees and soil, farm and coast, held by bush stoics in the 19th century. The myth of landscape it- ■ Robert Drewe’s new book of self divides into two opposing stories The Rip (published by myths: the Beach or the Bush Penguin/Hamish Hamilton) is or, as I like to think of it, the set on the Australian coast. www.echo.net.au

Spinning around in the mighty carbon cycle Story & photo Mary Gardner

The Australia Day weekend was so hot! Walking from The Pass to the Main Beach in the mid afternoon, I was dripping sweat into the sea. My feet gently splashed through small waves. My tired mind was a grateful blank. For the past week, I was struggling with a writer’s challenge. What can I add to the community voices converging on Parliament on February 3 about the urgency of addressing climate change? But for now, I was hiding as one of hundreds in a holiday crowd. Funny to think there are merely those six degrees of separation between all of us strangers here. And all the life in the sea – how many degrees between us here and them there? What acts as the mediator in such a trans-species network? Suddenly, I was startled alert as four young men cut in front of me. They were finishing the beers in their hands and picking up their surfboards. They made ready to jog out to the waves. It was not their rough manners or good looks that snapped me awake. Not their violation of the alcohol ban, either. It was their carbon cycle. Why, only yesterday, I had just reread a story by Primo Levi, the Italian chemist and

Holocaust survivor. He told of the ‘life’ of a carbon atom in its cycle. A gaseous carbon is released from limestone burnt in a kiln. This airborne carbon is finally caught by photosynthesis enacted within a leaf of a grape vine. The carbon is locked into a sugar, which becomes part of wine. A man drinks this wine. Its carbon is stored in his liver until, in a burst of exercise, it is used as energy. The sugar turns to lactic acid, which the man feels as aching legs. But as he pants to regain his breath, his biochemistry neutralises the acid. The carbon leaves his body in his exhalations as carbon dioxide. This tale was published in 1975. Levi notes that humans have not tried to grasp directly from carbon dioxide what is needed to sustain life. After all, plants do it so elegantly. They

have for eons, leaving behind vast amounts of carbon as coal and oil. In 1972, a young PhD graduate J E N Veron started work in Townsville classifying the corals of the Great Barrier Reef. In 2008, about 38 years later, he published one more book. Veron is raising an alarm about the new state of play in the carbon cycle. Since Levi’s time, Veron was watching another aspect of the carbon cycle. Breathing across the face of the ocean, gaseous carbon is bound up by the surface waters. But in doing so, the chemistry of the sea alters and becomes slightly more acidic. Veron writes, ‘In a CO2belching business-as-usual world, acidification will soon rival and then surpass bleaching as the foremost marine management issue.’ The change may seem to be small numbers

(from pH 8.2 today to 7.9) but it is also the range which impacts on calcification. For calcification is another aspect that we barely glimpse of the mighty carbon cycle. Organisms lock carbon with calcium to use as a building material. In the ocean the results are skeletons, shells and the hard foundation of the coral reefs themselves. Seawater that is a fraction too acidic seems to lead to fatal interruptions in this cycle. Breaking down the coral reefs. Interrupting the marine plankton that contribute half the world’s oxygen. Disturbing the shell building of mussels, oysters and snails. Affecting the squid who grow cuttlebones. Remember entire populations of squid only exist for a year or two at most and for part of the year they are all only orphan eggs, in waters

that are changing willy nilly. Meanwhile, fish are also involved in that same pH balancing act. Researchers now report that since fish drink seawater and collect too much calcium, they bind it with carbon in their gut and then excrete calcium carbonate. These excretions makes the seawater less acidic. You would think this would be great news towards righting the balance. But consider the extent of overfishing throughout the oceans. There simply are fewer fish about, and they are smaller as well. On top of that, they, like many marine creatures, may have a gut full of plastic. That carbon cycle. Veron estimates that this decade is the last in which to reduce the levels of carbon dioxide emissions. The urgency is such that he

seriously considers everything needs doing: sequestering, alternative energies, reductions across societies world wide. Would he also support a moratorium on big fleet fisheries and a reassignment of those ships to the harvesting of plastics in coastal and international waters? The carefree surfers, you and me – we still share carbon with plants and animals the way Levi described. But as we drive cars or flick on power switches, half of that carbon we release reaches the ocean and drives the ocean acidic. That’s less than six degrees between us and the coral polyp, phytoplankton, mussel and squid. Twenty million coastal Australians and 200 million people in the Coral Triangle will find horrific holes in both of our networks of separation. For starters. Levi might be amazed to see humans finally reach out to grasp at gaseous carbon while also limiting amounts we create. As this new process joins the immemorial carbon cycle, Veron is hoping it will help prevent ecocide. Levi, a tormented survivor of genocide – would he find more hope in humanity if we also change our talk to consider degrees of interrelation?

The Gathering Arts and culture feature

Sir Poet Over 1000 registered artists are living in the Byron and Tweed Shires. The varying styles and forms of art produced locally are often beautiful examples from the artists who produce them. Whether locally, nationally or internationally recognized for their work, our artists are working in very interesting times. Contemporary art is defined as art produced from WWII to the present day, leaving the many expressions of contemporary art wide open. Examples of contemporary art can be found here in ‘The Gathering’ and the diversity of this catch-all moniker, even from a local perspective, is astonishing. This fortnight I have chosen to explore a number of different styles in art, complementing these with a fine local example.

Glass art & glass sculpture The use of glass as an artistic medium to produce sculptures or two-dimensional artworks and useable items is a time honoured practice dating back thousands of years. Approaches to glass art include stained glass, working glass in a torch flame (lamp working), glass beadmaking, glass casting, glass fusing, and, most notably, glass-blowing.

As a decorative and functional medium, glass was extensively developed in Egypt and Assyria, brought to the fore by the Romans (who developed glassblowing), and includes among its greatest triumphs European cathedral stained glass windows.

Local artist: Noel Hart Noel Hart is an Australian artist whose artwork explores humanity’s as well as his own relationship with nature and the environment. Since the 1970s, Noel has tried many artistic mediums. Since 2000 one primary artistic focus for him has been blown glass. His latest blown glass sculptures have been created with the assistance of other local glass blowers, Johnathon Westacott and Greg Royer, along with cold worker Earl Sullivan. The inspirations for these works have come from his love of

Local artist: Mesha Sendyk Just off the plane from her latest exhibition with Galerie Art Seiller, in the South of France, Australian abstract painter Mesha Sendyk is described by the French media as having a ‘penetrating vision of the world’ Nice-Martin, 23 January, 2009. Robert Bleakley (Founder and Former CEO of Sotheby’s Australia) sees Sendyk’s present work as ‘an opportunity to access the realm of the eternal where space and time are informed by consciousness’. By all accounts, her works are commanding and utterly unique. ‘When I am painting I feel connected to another world, one both within, throughout and beyond the material

plane of awareness. Without wanting to sound too cosmic, what is brought to the canvas in the “Visual Koan Series� is something of an energetic language, one which speaks to the voiceless part in us all’ explained Mesha in a recent interview. Back to Paris for another solo show at Galerie Astarte in November, her work can also be seen locally through Art Galleries Schubert, Gold Coast and Barebones Art Space in Bangalow. www. meshasendyk.com ‘Bonfire Of My Vanities’ by Mesha Sendyk

The Cape Gallery, Byron’s longest running gallery was established over 20 years ago. In that time, it has served the arts, artists and artisans of the Byron shire. The present owners take great pride in representing artists they consider to be the North coast’s finest. The gallery showcases both established, nationally recognised artists and up and coming talent. In the first half of 2009 Cape Gallery will present solo shows by Christine Willcocks and Michelle Dawson. Christine’s work encompasses printmaking, drawing and 3D pieces and the theme of the regenerative nature and beautiful ramifications of the death process. Michelle in the meantime is taking great artistic license with the phenomena of apparent sightings of alien big cats, ie: pumas, panthers and lions, in the Australian landscape. Both are shaping up to be intriguing, thought provoking shows.

rather than name the visual experience, Vassily Kandinsky staked everything on colour. As a total means of expression, capable of eliciting an emotive, almost mystical experience, Kandinsky explosively freed colour from form. Within a few years French painter Piet Mondrian, coming from a totally different path, also abandoned figuration and strove for a quintessence of expression, through the strict and simple ordering of space, so obvious in his intersecting rightangles and planes of colour. What links the Abstractionists of the past and those of today is a conscious move to supersede the need for links to real objects; to create works which evoke more than can be described; to arrive at universal expressions perceptible as ‘the pulsations of life’(Mondrian).

Dr Lilliana Corredor believes there is an urgent need to break ‘the cycle of generational downloading of wounds by adults to children’, and that both parents and youth require guidance and assistance to ensure this end of cycle. ‘As parents we copy our parents’ behaviours, values and habits, invent and improvise as we go along, while not being aware of the individual needs of each child, nor of the lifelong damage that our words, emotions, actions and behaviours have on our children,’ she says. Dr Corredor is starting a new counselling and healing therapy program from February to assist both youth and parents. Programs will be held Tuesdays and Thursdays at the Academy of Energy Science & Consciousness, 6 Wollongbar Street, Byron Bay Arts & Industrial Estate, and Wednesdays and Fridays at Jade Tortoise, clinic of natural medicine, 8 Strand Street, New Brighton.

Organiser of the Country Energy Kite Record Attempt, Lisa Parkes, is all set to take registrations for the attempt to break the Australian or world records for the most number of kites flown simultaneously at the Brunswick Heads Kites and Bikes Festival on March 22. Local charity Our Kids, which fundraises for equipment for local hospitals to keep kids local, will be the beneficiary of this big community effort. ‘Enter as an individual, or round up your teams of ten. It’s a great chance to showcase your sporting or community group, support Our Kids, and have loads of fun at the same time,’ said Lisa. ‘To get the registration ball rolling, we are offering prizes to the first individual, and first business, sporting and community group teams of ten, and school, to sign up. As well, groups of 50 or more will be eligible to go into a draw to win a prize. The earlier you register the more time you have to

make and decorate your kite.’ On receipt of the registration, participants will be allocated a number indicating their kite flying position on the beach ‘grid’. The beach will be marked out in zones of 100 participants, from the breakwall down the beach to past the surf club. The big attempt is on at 2pm, timed to be just past low tide to maximise the space available. Brunswick Valley Rescue Squad, SES and Fire Brigade members are all assisting with this logistical challenge as marshals and runners for each zone. Any spectators will get a great view from the breakwall. The Westpac helicopter will be positioned for a winch rescue demonstration in the surf as everyone is being marshalled. From this position, photos and a video of the event will be taken to record the attempt. Registrations can be made on line via the website www. kitesandbikes.com.au or at the

Brunswick Heads Visitor Centre in Park Street. The $10 entry fee includes a kite making kit. Upon receipt of the registration number, kite kits can be picked up from the Visitor Centre and be made up at home. Schools will be sent their kits directly and made and decorated during class. Kite flying expert, Michael Richards, will be flying the two largest kites in Australia throughout the day – Romeo the Octopus and Sydney the Trilobite, and the flightless but fun giant soccer ball will be rolling around as well. Kite club enthusiasts from up and down the coast are coming along to share the fun with the community and fill the sky over Brunswick beach with their large kites, giant arches and streamers, and to demonstrate the latest stunts and kite adventure skills. Contact Lisa Parkes on lisa. parkes@bigpond.com or the Visitor Centre on 6685 1003 for enquiries about the event.

Wild dogs on the attack in Byron hinterland: what to do? Kelly Raison

Wild dog sightings on the outskirts of Mullumbimby are on the increase, with a repeat offender making its presence felt near the Wilsons Creek Primary School in recent months. Several sightings have also been reported at the beginning of Main Arm Road in the vicinity of the showground, where seemingly different packs of dogs were spotted on at least two occasions. Ku Lehane of Mullumbimby is one of the residents who has encountered a pack of wild dogs near Mullumbimby Showground and had the terrifying experience of being chased by them while riding her horse. Up to six dogs ambushed Ku and Chay before abandoning chase and heading back into the bush. Ku believes they were not domestic dogs escaped from nearby houses as they were ‘mangy looking dogs that were unkept and all so similar in appearance that they definitely looked related to each other’. To hide and ambush is a common pack hunting method and so, whether the dogs were domestic escapees or a pack of dogs born into the wild, the fact that they chose to attack a large animal suggests that they are becoming braver and more prolific.

Farming changes This theory is supported by Neil Hing of the Livestock Health and Pest Authorities (formerly known as Rural Lands Protection Board) who told The Echo that ‘wild dogs are moving into areas where they’ve never been before’. This can be partially attributed to the change in farming practices and land use on the east coast of Australia, with more and more farms being divided up and purchased for the purpose of bush regeneration rather than as working farms. While this is a positive thing, it means that the increase in wildlife corridors and hiding spots for wild dogs has led to an increase in wild dog population. The control of wild dogs is the joint responsibility of land owners and the Livestock Health and Pest Authorities (LHPA) and there are currently three options available: shooting, trapping and 1080 baiting. Landowners are allowed to shoot dogs on their land, but the reality of catching sight of a wild dog and having a gun handy makes this option difficult, especially when taking into consideration the change in farming trends. The instances of people possessing firearms on large blocks of land and being out and about on it when a wild dog saunters past are not as common as they once were, so controlling wild dogs by this method becomes less viable. www.echo.net.au

Trapping is another option, but is also problematic. Many wild dogs are trap shy and extremely savvy when it comes to avoiding traditional cage or leg hold traps. The responsibility is usually placed on the landowners to check the traps every day and dealing with the consequences of finding a trapped dog who is terrified and in pain, which is not something that most bush regenerating landowners would look forward to. You might logically ask why the LHPA don’t have more involvement, but Neil Hing is the lone ‘dogman’ alloted to the control of wild dogs between Lismore and Tweed. Neil has been in his current role for at least ten years, and so possesses a wealth of working knowledge regarding wild dogs of the area. He was able to guess the exact location of the problem areas I was discussing and give his observations regarding local wild dog populations. Neil estimates that 90%-95% of wild dogs in the area are a domesticdingo hybrid that contain only a minute percentage of dingo blood. The rest is largely made up of hunting breeds such as German Shepherds, Rhodesian Ridgebacks and the like. As one individual he relies on the cooperation of land owners to address the issue, which often leads to option three – 1080 (or sodium monofluroacetate) baiting.

quolls died of 1080 poisoning of 6 that were tracked and none of the ‘virgin’ quolls died. The CSIRO does mention in the study that the baits used for testing were later found to be slightly under the recommended 6mg concentration of 1080 and concedes that ‘it would be conceivable that 2 of the quolls could have died’. When the experienced quolls were retested a year later with baits that did not contain 1080 the consumption level increased from 17% to 40%, suggesting that quolls are able to detect and generally inclined to avoid 1080.

Domestic dogs However 39 of the legumous plants that contain 1080 only occur in the south west corner of Western Australia. The other two species occur in central and northern Australia, so the odds for wildlife native to eastern Australia don’t look too favourable in that regard. In 2003 the CSIRO conducted a study of the effects of 1080 baiting on the spotted-tailed quoll in the New England region of NSW. Populations of quolls

were monitored using tracking devices in an area where 1080 baiting had occurred for more than 30 years and also in an area where 1080 was introduced for the first time. It appeared that the spotted-tailed quolls who were familiar with 1080 baits were less likely to eat the them, with only 17% of bait-experienced quolls ingesting the bait compared to 68% of bait virgins. According to this study, only one of the ‘experienced’

What does pose a threat to many native species is the wild and domestic dog. Whether they be foxes, escaped domestic dogs or hybrid domestic dog/dingo crosses, dogs can seriously effect native wildlife populations. If you have been lucky enough to see a koala making its way along the ground between eucalypts it’s not hard to see why. Yet Australia has its own native dog, the dingo, that is a naturally occurring and impor-

tant part of the ecosystem. It is with this in mind that Environment ACT endorses packs of wild dogs roaming in the Namadgi National Park near Cooma in the state’s south. While they conduct some trapping and baiting, the wild dog populations are viewed to be part of the natural balance and allowed to remain in numbers, albeit to the disgust of farmers in the area. After wading through the available research on the 1080 debate, the only thing that seems clear is the mud. The Australian bush needs a population of wild dogs but how many? 1080 kills some native wildlife but is it less or more damage than occurs at the paws of wild dogs? How do we eradicate one or two types of dog without eradicating another? In the meantime, it is vitally important that people understand the importance of containing their domestic dogs, particularly in country areas, and desexing their non-breeding animals. Without the contribution of domestic dogs, and the introduction of foxes, wild dogs would not be a problem Australians need to address.

WO R KS B E T T E R I N M O R E P L A C E S

Using 1080 The mere mention of 1080 alarms many people, but Neil Hing maintains that it is the lesser of two evils in relation to wild dogs and the havoc they wreak on native wildlife. 1080 baits are provided by the LHPA to land owners that are LHPA rate payers who have an AQF3 Chemical Users Card. The baits are buried about six inches under ground so that the wild dogs may dig them up in the hope of an easy feed. There is no doubt that 1080 poisoning causes a slow and painful death to the animal that eats it but, what is in question is the threat that 1080 poses to native wildlife. The threat to native wildlife can occur through the direct ingestion of the bait by carnivorous natives such as the spotted-tailed quoll, or by indirect ingestion by scavengers such as eagles who may feast on the carcass of an animal taken down by the lethal poison. While these are obviously undesirable consequences, there are other factors that need to be taken into consideration when assessing 1080s usefulness or ecological devastation. Sodium monofluroacetate is a compound that occurs naturally in 41 species of legumous plants in Australia and so there is an element of resistance to the toxin in many native animals.

Did you know that the first cervical vertebra, the atlas, is out of alignment in most people? ATLAS PRO FILAX

ÂŽ

by RenĂŠ C. Schuemperli

This circumstance leads to a variety of physical and psychological ailments and illnesses. Atlasprofilax is a neuromuscular technique that liberates the Atlas with only one application Accurately, Safely and Permanently. This powerful relocation immediately activates a self-healing and harmonising process. It is holistic in nature, promoting wellness and rejuvenation on all levels, mind, body and spirit. This method is non-medical, non-chiropratic.

One treatment can be life changing. The Atlas supports your head and governs structural alignment. A misaligned Atlas causes restriction of the brain stem, spinal cord, cranial nerves and arteries. This limits our potential for wellbeing and creates tension, restricting the free flow of energy. When the Atlas is installed correctly, the body begins an unwinding process, releasing holding patterns and enabling the body to heal and regenerate.

To take a giant step towards your health and wellbeing, contact Sidika Ashauer, Brunswick Heads clinic. 0427 805 405 www.atlasprofilax.com

LET’S GET PHYSICAL!

H

ow many of us have sat with our feet up watching the grand final of the Australian Open, or the State of Origin on the telly and thought to ourselves, ‘What a great sport. I must get into that’... and then reached for another corn chip? How often do we promise ourselves to get back into a sport that we played in a long gone past, then decide that we would never be fit enough, so put aside the idea and go in search of salsa for the chips? Getting physical is one of the major issues of the 21st century. Modern technology means that now more than ever so much of our physical effort is not being expended in the laborious tasks that used to consume our time. It is important for our physical and mental wellbeing to find an outlet for our excess energy before it becomes in danger of being stored in our bodies as stress, and kilos on the waistline. Club and team sport is literally just what the doctor ordered. What better way to release an over-abundance of energy than an activity that also gives your mind a little holiday from daily life? Joining a team and playing a sport is much easier than you think and all levels of fitness and ability can usually be catered for within the vast

selection of local clubs and teams. Being part of a sporting club helps children build self esteem, confidence and community spirit while at the same time making exercise fun, and for adults, becoming a member of a team not only gives you a chance to meet and socialise with others who share your interest, but is also a great opportunity to get together with training buddies and friends who will encourage you to get up and go when you feel the call of the couch. In our area we are lucky to have many types of sports that appeal to a wide variety of people. These include tennis, hockey, rugby league and union, soccer, netball and touch football, to name a few. Most clubs have training and coaching sessions that will help you get to know your sport better and improve your skills. Matches and games are a great way to spend time with, support, and encourage your kids in a way that promotes healthy exercise habits that will see them lead healthier lives into the future. So don’t wait. Don’t hesitate. Don’t procrastinate. Get off your butt and pick up the phone, then get out the door and down to your local sign-on day for more fun than you could ever imagine.

Learning the words of where I live through Tim’s story Peter Shepherd

Jingi walla! It means g’day in Bundjalung. Howareya? What’s happening? Who do ya know? I’m cramming. I’ve met Tim Ives and we’ve discussed tourism, place names, art, fishing and language. I’m trying to digest it all, particularly the language. How can I not speak the language of my own country? He’s told me stories, too. To say that Tim likes stories is like saying that plants like the sun. He breathes stories. They breathe him. Once, when I rang him to ask the word for pelican (junyar), he began telling me Pelican’s story. Halfway through he had to leave, passing the phone to Lyn, his partner. But the story didn’t stop. Through the phone I could hear his voice as he walked away, the story still going, echoing and fading. I like Tim. He’s humble. But he knows so much you can almost feel it bursting out of him. Normally, when I interview people, it’s the story between the words I listen to, the emotions and histories, the body language. Tim’s harder to reach, and I tell him it’s a bit like trying to read a wall. He laughs and I laugh and that

‘You know, when the government researched tourists overseas about what they were planning to see, or wanted to see, in Australia, number one – by a long way – was Aboriginal culture. So it’s a big thing, you know? And there’s not much of it going on around here. It’s a real growth area. A real opportunity.’

wall softens a bit. What matters to Tim, I think, is time shared, and honesty and trust. And a yarn or two. He likes to share. His first gift to me is generosity: he hands me his notes on the Bundjalung language. I’ve expressed an interest, and these are his original notes – handwritten – he’s lending me. I carry them with me for the rest of the day – through Byron, Bruns and Mullum – for the treasure they are; keep my backpack (behy) close. Sensing an opportunity, I suspect, for everyone here in Bundjalung, Byron College sought some funding for Indigenous Tourism Training. Tim graduated last year from the college with a Certificate IV in Training and Assessment – government speak for teaching grownups. He was also – although he waves it away, wants to change the subject – student of the year, an award for ‘determination and commitment’.

First students

Yarning

Local Kuku Yalunji guide from Mossman in Queensland.

So Byron College sent him up north to research established indigenous guiding operations. He hung out, mostly, with the Kuku Yalanji mob around Cairns, saw what they did, how they did it, and

why it was important to them. Spent some time yarning and swapping stories. The knowledge he brought back he blended and mixed with his own experience of local guiding. ‘I watched the tourists a lot,

too,’ he tells me. ‘They were keen on demonstrations, for sure, but also getting in there and having a go, like with a woomera. They were very keen, you know? They were jumpin’ in there, really gettin’ into it.

Tim will be teaching his first group of young indigenous students this term through Byron College. And there’s a few places left – find out more at www.acebyron.org.au. Classes start February 20 and are once a week for about six weeks. Students will gain a Statement of Attainment in Indigenous Guiding. As part of the course they’ll also be learning Senior First Aid, and Occupational Health & Safety. ‘They’ll be on their way to a career, you know. And it’ll be about their own culture. Learning and talking about the culture here, about this land, has gotta be good. It’s gotta be good for everyone.’ It’s one of the rare times he looks me in the eye. He means everyone who believes in this land, who’s open to it. But then he’s laughing and asking me if I want to see photos of his

artworks. I don’t get to leave his house without seeing his sculptures, too, and the spears he’s made. They’re bloody good, to these migaloo eyes. And he seems, you know, just a bit proud of em. Outside the woolaloog eye me keenly – you know those black and white birds that hop about the ground, the jarjums screeching for food, the parents singing so melodiously every yalgun? I’m looking forward to meeting some of the graduates, down the track. Looking forward to sharing and yarning, maybe. And listening, learning. And getting in and having a go. Meanwhile I’m gonna start practising the words of where I live. A bridge is built faster when you go at it from both sides, I reckon. Here’s a few to get me started that I relate to: jugi jugi, that means chook. Yaraman is horse. Books, paper: bibah. And bread, barehn. Then there’s Mullumbimby, Murwillumbah, Wollumbin and the rest of the family. And jingal, with its little echo of ‘hello’, means home. Naja whigny nyahny nubu. (I hope that says ‘see you later’, or I’m a binay jumbur ginibi.)

Morgan has been crafting his first book Memoirs of a Hip Hop Nomad, a wild chronicle of his global adventures, and it is the foundation for his new one man show.

‘I got the inspiration for it at the Writer’s festival in Ubud, I was asking myself what am I doing here? But when I got to perform my poems and stuff that’s when I realised why I was there. A lot of writers are good at writing but I am a performer, and hip hop is the new literacy, it’s not a perfect object but it is literacy, and is the most contemporary poetry.’

over a decade and a half later he has watched his genre evolve for better and for worse. ‘Capitalism is a faster beast these days – it consumes things that originally start out challenging it, it is quick to become a ring tone, a lot of hip hop has lost it’s urgency and political feel, and a lot in the mainstream is immoral and not what I grew up with, but it still has become a valid form of self expression across the world and I have been lucky enough to see that and that’s what my book is about. Basically it’s a travel book from New York to the the Central Desert – beyond the far reaches of the empire. New York is in the belly of the beast, but in that place there are still voices that don’t get out. That is what I try and do, facilitate those voices.’ So do you have to be oppressed to rap? Can nice middle class kids still make meaningful good hip hop? ‘Of course it’s possible for middle class kids, it’s even possible for the upper class as well. Look at Kanye West, he’s very upper class, and I come from a lower middle class background and I am a white fella. I continue to negotiate a place in hip hop but I feel that I have found a niche and am closest to that when I am teaching people.’ Every artist cuts their teeth with the first passionate creative calling. For Morgan it was a rap he penned back in ‘92, commenting on commercialism and the dangers of consumer society.

lover! People learn to use hip hop in different ways. These days my politics are not as extreme. I am older now and I am not as sure I have all the answers as I was when I was 18!’ Morgan’s latest show combines his huge array of influences. It’s story telling with an edge. ‘I have a bit of a name for this technique: it’s called ‘hip hop documentary theatre’ – I did the show for the first time at the Mullum Music Festival at the RSL club and some guy who worked there came up and said, “I’ve been working here eight years it’s the best show I have ever seen here!” I said can I ask why? He said, “well it’s like having an SBS documentary in front of you live” That’s exactly what I am trying to do. I am trying to transport people to Brooklyn after someone has fired shots a block from where you are and then to a village in Tanzania to a cafe in Tokyo where people are moaning about having too much money. It’s spoken word poetry, physical theatre, freestyling and b-boying (break dancing) and there is beat boxing as well of course, that’s a staple element and I also do a rap in 15 languages. ‘This show is a new show for me. My previous one man show, Crouching B Boy Hidden Dreadlocks I had down word for word. This show is much newer. I have a script: the writing from my book – but I am not being precious about it at all, some scenes are communicated 70% by movement, or a soundtrack will drop in – I don’t ever read off a page.’ Morganics performs Memoirs of a Hip Hop Nomad at the Byron Community Centre on Sunday February 15, and the very next day he flies to Vancouver to do a half hour excerpt of the show for an event called Spoken World, part of the Cultural Olympiad and the lead up to the Winter Olympics. Morgan will also be running a workshop called ‘Make a Track’ for people over 13. Rappers will take an idea and turn it into a track. You choose samples, make a beat, write the rap and record it and then leave with your own CD. Get it on U-tube and before you know it Timbaland will be downloading your beats to lay under his next album. Workshop tickets are $30/35 and show tix are $30.

Your Lovely Lady Pumps I love having my petrol pumped. I will go three hours out of my way just to pull into a servo where a chap in overalls rushes to my aid. (And I don’t even have a car!) Seriously, I love the thrill of leaning out the window, finding the attendant’s bowser already inserted and tossing back a flippant ‘Fill er up’. (I did this the other day at a servo in Brunswick Heads and it turned out the boy didn’t work there at all. He was merely going in to pay.) I hate getting out of the car. Often I’ll pull into a self serve and just sit there. Last week I was there for two days before I got bored and gave up. It was like a mental contest between myself and the woman I could see behind the glass airconditioned walls of the servo. I glared at her. She narrowed

her defiant ‘move it, fat bum’ stare back at me. It was a good old fashioned standoff. The tension mounted. Who would break first and pump me full of unleaded? I hate giving in, but I’m pregnant and I needed a pee, so I left. Sadly I ran out of petrol about 2 k’s down the road and had to hitch back with a jerry can. I was tempted to stand by the bowser and stare her down. To see if the heartless hussy would help a woman in need. Nope. I am nostalgic for a time when we had a thing called customer service.

Remember that? When people would actually assist you. I hate this self service, speak to the voice recording, select a numbered option, swipe yourself kind of culture we are developing into. For some people who live lonely lives, just like me, the chat in the bank or to Directory Assistance may well be the only human connection they get all day. Now we have to do it with the machine. I hate machines. I like talking to people. Even if I don’t need it I like to ask for a quick check under the bonnet. ‘While you’re down there, could you have a squiz at my oil and water?’ Like I even know what that means. Sometimes, if you are really lucky you’ll even strike window cleaning chivalry. This is when the pumping chap is so efficient he can pump and wash at the same time. This is a form of multitasking so it shouldn’t be expected of every kindly pumper. So far I have marked three stations in the Northern Rivers who will still pump. Solways in Bangalow, Carsburgs in Mullum and Simmo’s garage opposite the cop shop in Byron. If you know of any more please let me know. I’m the woman sulking in a car in a petrol station somewhere near you.

Name dropping at Bluesfest The next round of artists to perform at the 20th Anniversary Bluesfest has today been announced for the festival that has been recognised by peak industry bodies as one of the best in the world. Keep Easter free, because the only egg hunt you’ll be on will be at Belongil Fields between April 9 and 13. Bluesfest welcomes American Grammynominated singer-songwriter Jason Mraz, a genuine superstar in the making who has been near the top of the Australian charts for 35 weeks, and like Jack Johnson and Ben Harper before him, was discovered and introduced to Australian audiences last year via Bluesfest. Other acts on the bill include Xavier Rudd, Paul Kelly, Drive-By Truckers, Booker T Jones, James Hunter, Blues Traveller, CW Stoneking, Ash Grunwald, AYO, Rodney Crowell, Dallas Frasca, Spectrum, Pete Cornelius & the De Villes, Hot

Club of Cow Town, Resin Dogs, Tijuana Cartel, Veneno, Mic Conway’s National junk Band, and Morning Of The Earth – Cult Surf Movie and Concert featuring Brian Cadd, Lior, Old Man River, Mike Rudd & Tim Gaze. These names join the host of artists such as Ben Harper, John Butler Trio, Missy Higgins and Michael Franti (just to name a few.) Festival director Peter Noble said, ‘There’s a great range of supertalented international and local artists in this announcement, established names and thrilling newcomers. We’ve got Booker T Jones backed by the fantastic Drive-By Truckers, who’ll also play their own sets. Paul Kelly returns following his very strong recent album, plus CW Stoneking, Xavier Rudd and Jason Mraz will impress people big time. Make sure you catch Spectrum – a classic Aussie original jam band from the 1970’s that will rock the house.’ For ticketing and program enquiries go to www.bluesfest. com.au ASAP. If you are one more used to the personal touch, then tickets can be purchased by phoning the Bluesfest office on 6685 8310.

Experience at The Beach 2009 is set to be huge for independent success story Very Unique Existence. Hailing from Byron Bay the band has managed to secure video hits, commercial airplay, international radio and major supports in two years off the back of an EP that is now set to take metro commercial radio by storm. The real deal however with Very Unique Existence is their band ethic,

Simon Clark, lead vocalist of Radio Jupiter has a lot to talk about. I caught him briefly late on Friday arvo. It seems life has been hectic in Clark household: ‘My daughter moved to New York and is living with the twins who are Prince’s backing vocalists!’ Simon has spent the last two years creating Radio Jupiter’s newest album. ‘My Producer is Steve Jones – he used to work in Abbey Road, his relations are involved with Elton John, so all very exciting for me. We have a new drummer, he’s just 21, his name Che, he is fantastic. Kinda is about to have her baby, but she’ll still be on stage on Friday night. I am just getting it all wound up to take it from a local to a national level. We are forecasting that the mastering will be done by of the end of May and by June we’ll release. This might be one ofthe last gigs you see at us locally for a while because we are looking at working out

vibe and music. Self defined as ‘Positive Consciousness Rock’ the band donates part proceeds from each gig to a charity within the town they play, and focuses their music and lyrics along with their show on delivering ‘positive energy’. They play the Beach Hotel on Thursday.

Local ARIA Girl at Folk Night Local country star and singersongwriter Lou Bradley headlines this month’s Federal Folk Night. The mum of three, who resides in the hills behind Mullumbimby, had her latest album Love Someone produced by Bill Chambers and was nominated for an ARIA Award in the country section along side Keith Urban and James

of the area over the next few months.’ ‘Once you make an album that’s a full 12 track album, you want to get out there and play it to see if people want to buy it! We alttempted to do it with the old line up, the one that became Groove Foundation only to realise it wasn’t going to work. To do justice to the album we had to really pick and choose. That’s why its taken two years. I wanted to be really proud - when you start to get a bit on in life you don’t want anything less than excellence. These are the best players yet, basically all incredibly accomplished and talented people in their own right, the name dropping you could do around my people is amazing.’ Radio Jupiter play the Hotel Great Northern on Friday, they’ll be playing songs from the new album and a few African songs.

They WITH LOUISE ROBINSON were surprised when after one show they were offered a whole lot more including an opening slot on Tegan and Sara’s 2008 Out Of Hibernation Spring US tour followed by some dates in the UK with them as well. Shortly after they were invited to open for Death Cab For Cutie on their Australian tour. But they weren’t as surprised as the owner of the record store when he found his two loyal managers playing to a packed out room when they were supposed to be selling CDs, his not theirs. Kate Cooper and Damon Cox share common interests. And when someone forgets their toothpaste on tour they’ll share that too. There isn’t a whole lot more to it… I guess.

Associate director of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival has only ever had great things to say about our Byron Bay comics. ‘I see almost three hundred gigs a year, but they’re never so raucous and feelgood as in Byron Bay. Comedy and the beach shouldn’t mix this well, but there’s something

every nook and granny, for that gem: that undiscovered comic genius. You know who I mean, the dude in the family who has been roadtesting their punchlines on unsuspecting family members, friends and passers-bys for years. Well, Raw Comedy is your chance to stop hassling your family members, and hassle the nation, quite frankly, it’s your chance to shine. Raw Comedy is Australia’s largest and most prestigious open mic comedy competition, with 59 gigs announced in every capital city and major regional centres across the country. Five minutes of new, original comedy material is all it takes to enter Raw

Have you ever tried Flamenco dancing? It’s a great way to get your blood pumping and body moving to an amazing form of music and express the gypsy in your soul. It’s a fantastic way to meet new people, exercise, and above all: enjoy yourself! Flamenco is an incredibly emotive dance style, and very contagious – It’s full of passion, power, control, fire and sensuality. Flamenco is known for its internal, spring-loaded, strong, defiant and explosive character. Flamenco is rich and deep in the stories and history of its peoples told through flamenco guitar (toque), singing (cante) and dance (baile). Louise Robinson, who has taught flamenco and danced for many years is director and dance teacher of El Bari Flamenco Dance School. Louise will be teaching classes for new beginners at Temple Byron and intermediate classes at Ewingsdale Hall. Classes include flamenco dance, song, castanets (hand held percussive instruments), palmas (handclapping), fan,

1. On Thursday at 9.30pm on Channel Ten we get to find out if the American version of Life on Mars is as good, or better, than the original BBC series. So far only The Office has managed the transition successfully. Harvey Keitel and Jason O’Mara star. 2. Stephen Fry has been dissected by Pamela Stephenson on the psychiatrist’s couch and in The Secret of the Manic Depressive (ABC, Monday 9.35pm) he bares his soul again. 3. Tina Fey is back in a new season of the award-winning sitcom 30 Rock (Prime, Monday 11.30pm). The absurdly late hour shows that Channel Seven has yet to appreciate the popularity of Fey, who is the show’s creator, writer and lead. On Monday we also see the return of Boston Legal (Prime 10.30pm), Dexter (Ten, 9.30pm), Underbelly (Nine, 8.30pm) and ABC’s regulars Four Corners (8.30pm) and Media Watch (9.20pm). Even ABC2 brings back a fun reality show Scrapheap Challenge (weekdays 6.35pm) to replace a mean-spirited reality show Coach Trip.

The Byron Shire Echo February 3, 2009 29

Comedy – standup, sketch, double and triple acts, musical comedy are all welcome. Lucky jokesters successful in their heats will progress through a series of semi and state finals, before slugging it out at the National Grand Final at the 2009 Melbourne International Comedy Festival on April 19. The National Grand Champ wins a trip to the Edinburgh Fringe. Byron has two RAW heats scheduled for Monday February 16 and Monday March 2. Places are filling, so if you’d like to register for a spot visit www.rawcomedy. com.au to enter or simply ring directly on 6684 3443. Bookings can also be made for the show, MC’d by Mandy Nolan – that would be me, and I can assure you it’s an evening that is always an outright hoot! To reserve a seat for Monday February 16 at the Byron Services Club’s Pandanus Room at 8pm, simply phone 6684 3443. Tix are $15/10.

Film Reelly Good For all those breast feeding mums who can’t go to films without people staring at them and cursing their cooing crying, whingeing child (crikey thats going to be me again soon!) then Byron Cinemas offer Reel Mums, a noisy screening full of lactating breeders and their brood! Yay! The film next on the agenda is Slumdog Millionaire. This is the story of

Jamal Malik (Dev Patel), an 18 year-old orphan from the slums of Mumbai, India, who is about to experience the biggest day of his life. With the whole nation watching, he is just one question away from winning a staggering 20 million rupees on India1s Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? But when the show breaks for the night, police arrest him on suspicion of cheating: how could a street kid know so much? Desperate to prove his innocence, Jamal starts relating to the police the story of his life in the slums where he and his brother grew up: their adventures together on the road, vicious encounters with local gangs, and Latika, the girl he loved and lost. The abject poverty and desperate circumstances of the brothers’ lives as street kids in India are portrayed with stunning intensity. Tickets to all Reel Mums sessions are just $10, with children five and under admitted free of charge. Reel

Mums sessions are run specially for the comfort of parents with babies. The lights are dimmed but not completely darkened, the sound is monitored so it’s not too loud to startle the babies but loud enough to be able to hear the film over any baby sounds. Other patrons do not mind if your baby cries because at any given time there may be several crying babies. Thursday at Byron Cinemas at 10am.

Dance Party for the kids Finally, something for the kids to do on a Saturday night. An underage dance party for youth of the Byron Shire is scheduled at the Byron Community Centre. It’s a safe environment with quality artists demonstrating musical integrity – it’s known as Mashables. Mashables brings together five incredible DJs for one night of awesome musical fun – DJ Rola D and Blunt Instrument from Brisbane, as well as local DJs Nubi and LT80. Blunt Instrument are DJs Boxset and Rocco who are an emerging original music production duo. Both grew up in the local area but have

recently moved to Brisbane to expand their music. And now they are being joined by DJs ready to mash music up in the way only they can – funky beats, glitch-hop, electro grooves, breaks and original instrumentals as well as classic re-edits. It kicks off at 7pm and runs through to 11pm so be prepared for four hours of great music. The evening is a drug and alcohol free event and is being supervised by professional security accredited with underage events, ensuring everyone has a good time with strict measures taken to ensure the safety of all patrons. Tickets are $15 on the door.

The headline act is a fantastic Melbourne and Sydney-based female Electro Pop trio named The Blush Foundation. You may have heard their hysterical hit Designa Vagina which was produced by Paul Mac and featured on the last Triple J ‘Unearthed’ compilation. Host

and guest DJ for the night is Tobin Saunders – appearing not as Vanessa but himself – ‘unfrocked and unflappable’. Various support acts, including some surprise guests, will be performing throughout the night. Tickets are available at the Community Centre.

Love your Dance The Byron Community and Cultural Centre is holding the Blushing Hearts Ball on Valentines Day. This is a no holes barred dance-party and concert targeting all members of the community: gay, lesbian, trans-gender and straight!

WITH LILITH

THIS WEEK’S JUBILANT NEWS IS THAT MERCURY’S OUT OF RETROGRADE, THE COSMOS IS BACK IN DRIVE MODE, AND WITH MARS JOINING JUPITER, NEPTUNE AND THE SUN IN AQUARIUS, THIS IS ONE OF THOSE BIZARRE WEEKS WHEN ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN AND PROBABLY WILL… ARIES: Venus moving into Aries gives you a charisma upgrade this week, and with February’s emphasis on friendship, going out of your way for others pays off, ditto handling differences of opinion diplomatically. If you’re feeling frustrated, don’t expect others to provide answers only you can give yourself. TAURUS: February’s Tauran playlist features your business sector, and whatever social-

David Smerdon’s amazing victory at the Queenstown Classic last week has generated superlatives around the world but the 24-yearold insists that nowadays he is only playing chess ‘for fun’. After finishing half a point clear of a pack of European grandmasters and taking home to the ACT the $NZ10,000 first prize, Smerdon could be forgiven for thinking that he made the wrong decision in retiring from the international chess circuit a year ago in order to make a career at Treasury. However, just as Darryl Johansen started to score grandmaster results after retiring from professional play in 1989, Smerdon, 24, has raised his game now that he no longer has to worry about whether his next move will enable him to put food on his table that night. Smerdon’s win of the Queenstown Classic – New Zealand’s strongest open tournament – was so convincing that the former Brisbane boy could afford to lose his final game and still finish

GEMINI: Gemini logic can sometimes overpower your intuitive side, which can take you to places even mental brilliance can’t reach. Listen to your intuition this week: it’s smart, surprising and you’ll have fun doing what it says. Let your spontaneous, uninhibited Twin out to play. CANCER: You can’t move into any sort of new future while you’re looking backwards with longing or regret; with February’s stars sitting in your house of secrets it’s time to own your past, release it and move on. Some very impressive wins are possible this week if you can. LEO: This quick, witty week’s upside is sociable and entertaining – its flip side’s headstrong, argumentative and excessive. Even worse, it’s not about you, it’s about them. Just kidding, actually it’s about you and them, with emphasis on partnerships, allies, teamwork

and cooperation. VIRGO: This week’s winds of change tends to infiltrate friendships, partnerships or groups. With February putting extra emphasis on relations with colleagues, reevaluating the ways you work with others (and realizing what you’ve always taken for granted) could be this week’s most rewarding activity. LIBRA: February’s a fun month for Librans, though this somewhat erratic week could see you seesawing from money saving plans one minute to spending up big the next. No blame – it’s just your way of trying to find the median line as the universal kaleidescope shifts into a new pattern... SCORPIO: If economic changes have you on edge, don’t take it out on those closest – loved ones may also need extra understanding and patience this week. Getting everyone involved in creative solutions to stop problems escalating can help dissipate surprising amounts of angst. SAGITTARIUS: This week sees you even more impulsively spontaneous than usual about making decisions, but your stars recommend taking small steps

Mungo’s Crossword

CAPRICORN: If you can overlook this week’s more irritating inconsistencies and eccentricities, you’ll find financial trends you can benefit from. Altered circumstances are bringing new factors into play, and with a change of perspective this is a period when substantial advances can be made. AQUARIUS: A people-andgroups week. Others will love your mischievous wit, enterprising ideas and outspoken opinions, but tread on toes and you’ll hear squeals. Disciplined flexibility’s this week’s best dance step – as in exercising your empathy muscles and stretching to include other people’s needs. PISCES: Economic prospects are looking up, so sort objectively through the wild ideas of recent weeks for which ones have the best chance of succeeding. And be aware of potential pitfalls in exciting offers – if they seem too good to be true, check that they can deliver what they claim.

This film tells the story of the historic, electrifying battle between Richard Nixon, the disgraced president with a reputation to try and save, and David Frost, the jet-setting television personality with a name to make. Directed by Ron Howard it is a masterpiece of storytelling. Frost/Nixon not only recreates the on-air interview, but the weeks of

shoulders and heavy gait by Frank Langella, is the disgraced and wounded warrior. But the film is not about these surface appearances. It’s about two powerful and deeply flawed men who decide to match wits for money in a kind of poker game played out on television. There are just as many rules as a card game, too: Nixon can stop it any time to wipe the sweat off his upper lip – the sweat that cost him an election, he remarks at one point – but he can’t control the editing or see the questions. ~ Lounge Cinema

discontent. Mundane domesticity is driving her up the wall and, wanting so much more from life, she concocts the plan of moving to Paris with Frank and the children where, in the City of Light, she will surely find fulfilment and hubby his elusive raison d’être. Frank, who has started shagging a girl from the secretarial pool, is not entirely convinced but, bored by his nine-to-five city job, is willing to give it a go and the couple make preparations to liberate themselves from the stifling conformity of middle class, middle brow New England. We’re on a pretty well beaten path here, as is director Sam Mendes, who went down it and arrived at far more interesting and original observations with American Beauty (1999). The difference this time around is that he is working with his wife playing the central character and one can’t help thinking that the whole exercise has been conceived as a vehicle for Winslet to strut her stuff and, who knows, win an Oscar? Things go Revolutionary Road awry for Frank and April, their As Harry Nilsson once sang: marriage teeters and it is left ‘You can climb the mountain, to John (Michael Shannon), you can swim the sea, you the blatantly contrived idiot can jump into the fire, but savant son of realtor Mrs Giving you can never be free.’ The (ever reliable Kathy Bates) confinements of convention to speak the unspeakable are intractable (‘alternative’, truth about the hopelessness despite its foolish pride, demands strict adherence to a that is pushing April to the code as much as ‘mainstream’), brink of total disintegration. but still we cling to our dreams, There is something a little too immaculate about the design, still we are seduced by the something too perfect about chimera of the greener grass the fairytale period recreation over there.

The tremendous support cast includes James Franco as Scott, a live-in lover who spent his last unemployment cheque on a pot deal and who stuck by Harvey through thick and thin. Because Penn never plays it for sympathy, it is Franco’s character, handsomer and of a less strident nature, who (for mine) carries the emotional weight of the film – a weight that is only fully brought to bear in the candlelit procession that follows Milk’s murder. Josh Brolin is equally good as the reactionary, conflicted careerist and, appearing only in news clips from the time, Anita Bryant, as herself, epitomises the repugnant god-botherer who owns family values. Uncompromising, poignant and, if the walk-outs are any indicator, still pertinent. ~ John Campbell

REVIEWS

Firstly the topple of tomatoes – all shapes and sizes at the Coopers Shoot stall of the Byron Farmers’ Market to delight me – then not long afterward there I am wandering enchanted down the aisles of the Noosa Farmers’ Market where the stalls most calling out to me are the tomato ones as well. It must be that time of year, summer sliding away and such a hot one too, guaranteeing a positive shout of flavour. At the Noosa Reds trestle tables I jostle, my mind torn between small standard oval tomatoes, cherry and grapes and romas – but the ones which intrigue me are the ‘Mango’ yellow ones, their cut flesh the same vibrant gold as the fruit. Botanically speaking, tomatoes are a fruit anyway – or more precisely, constituting as they do the ovary (together with the seeds) of a flowering plant, a berry. Their culinary treatment as a savoury means that they are, however, regarded as a vegetable. They belong to the lyrically named nightshade family of plants, which includes tobacco, chilli peppers, eggplant and potatoes as well as the poisonous belladonna; to be sure tomatoes bore the reputation of being unfit to eat for many years in Britain and some North American colonies in the 16th century. They are now one of the most common garden fruits. Or vegetables, perhaps. Like zucchini, they are famous for their proliferation, for outproducing the needs of their grower; there will always be too many tomatoes! I end up coming away with a bag of baby romas, an heirloom ‘mango’ yellow (whose correct name is, I believe, ‘Elbe’) and three bulbous ox-hearts. It is the latter which thrills me most, recalling my first experience of one in Sydney some fifteen years ago, flesh so compact and flavour so intense that I have been searching for them ever since. There are at least forty varieties of tomatoes grown, half that number being heritage or heirloom

varieties with amusing names like Boxcar Willie and Mortgage Lifter and Sweet 100. Vine-ripened and truss tomatoes have been available at supermarkets for quite some time now – and as monstrous as it is that freerange eggs are much more expensive than battery ones is the fact that these tomatoes cost so much more than ones cultivated in hothouses (anaemic in both flesh and flavour). Another beautiful example of the triumph of technology over tradition to the tremendous detriment of the consumer. In Canberra at Christmas time my mother displayed with pride her various tomato varieties in their respective stages of fruition, adding that she couldn’t really, however, see the point of cherry tomatoes. ‘I don’t actually like cherry tomatoes’, she waved toward them dismissively – and I found myself partly agreeing, having concluded that these are best for cooking with rather than eating raw. So little flavour raw, unlike the satisfying way they burst hotly on to your tongue after roasting or sauteing, flooding your mouth with sweetness. One of my favourite uses of raw tomatoes at their peak is to toast thick slices of olive bread – Sol’s works wonderfully here – then to dollop luxuriously over each slice the dice of tomatoes, slivered garlic, shredded basil leaves all seasoned and left to macerate in extra virgin olive oil – serve that with a plain rocket salad for the simplest summer supper. What I did with my Noosa tomatoes was to slice and tumble them together, the vibrant vivid crimson and gold in a gleam of olive oil and a lick of balsamic vinegar and a pinch of the pink salt purchased from the markets as well, with a final grind of black pepper. Served alongside grilled fennel-spiked pork sausages and creamy mashed potato for Australia Day dinner, the tomato was the winner.

TASTES OF THE TROPICS Here is something to start saving up for, designed for all those wanting a luxurious tropical getaway combined with some serious cooking lessons. Tastes of the Tropics is a new series of cooking school events hosted by leading Australian chefs at the Elandra Resort, Mission Beach. To be held in March, April, May and June, they will consist of a series of exclusive cooking classes hosted by such chefs as Matt Moran, Curtis Stone, Geoff Lindsay and Luke Mangan and will constitute 5-day packages including accommodation, cooking classes, massages, yoga, reef trips and gourmet meals – which may well be a Geoff Lindsay-cooked Chilli Mud Crab feast. Elandra Resort has stunning views overlooking the Coral Sea, Dunk and Bedarra Islands with Mission Beach itself being the closest access point to the Great Barrier Reef. Cost per head is $2,700 (excluding airfares) and more information can be found by contacting Fiona Brook on 03 9682 8555 or by visiting www.elandraresorts.com

Backlash In Comment this week we canvass the options for a different date for Australia Day, following on Mick Dodson’s call for a debate on the topic. If we directed our sights even further, we might consider choosing instead Earth Day on April 22 as our primary day of celebration, given that we are all planetary inhabitants dependent on a beautiful but fragile ecosphere.

Last week gnomes were liberated from Mullum gardens and placed atop shop awnings downtown, so if your garden buddy is missing, it might be worth checking with local shopowners. Kidnapping gnomes has a long tradition but the ground-lovin’ verticallychallenged might find being so high up a little intimidating. Is it gnome abuse?

...a journey into the Spiritual Science of Rudolf Steiner...

GRAIL QUEST offers a modern form of adult education based on the work of Rudolf Steiner. Through a deepened understanding of the inner workings of the world and ourselves, inner development and soul transformation are brought about. This in turn leads to an enhanced capacity to transform the outer world. The course consists of lectures, discussions and meditation which are expanded through artistic experiences in music, painting, sculpture, story telling, speech, drama, craft and the new art of eurythmy. No previous artistic experience is necessary. The emphasis of the course is away from competition and is focused on individual growth. The course aims to teach through the heart, hand and mind and to bring our efforts to fruition through love of the deed. GRAIL QUEST is also the prerequisite for the Steiner Teacher Training Program.
