Yachties set sail for kids Story & photo Eve Jeffery

The Brunswick Heads Cruising Yacht Association, more commonly known as the ‘Brunz Yachties’, took some dinghies out for a sail on Sunday as a warmup to their upcoming regatta for Radio Controlled Yachts and knockout regatta for sailors in Sabot dinghies, to be held on Sunday March 1 between the Brunswick bridges. The event will be staged from the Terrace Park next to the Soundshell and will also feature action from the Brunswick Valley Rescue Squad before the yachties present the squad

with a donation of $3,000 from the club. The yachties are hoping to attract the attention of the shire’s children to encourage them to enjoy the water and become competent in sailing boats. ‘The club is approached regularly by parents wanting us to provide sailing opportunities for local kids,’ says club yachty James Blacket. ‘Consequently we have purchased from Southport Yacht Club their training fleet of Sabot dinghies and we are in a position to provide qualified coaches. The Sabot is suited to the Brunswick River and can be sailed by

children or adults.’ The regatta is a not for profit event featuring a knockout competition with an 80 kilo weight limit before handicap, with four boats and 32 skippers, competing in eight races, two semi finals, and a final. There will be prizes on the day and proceeds from the regatta will go to towards the purchase of more boats and a storage rack. Entertainment by MC Bill Bloggs, music by The Percolators and onsite catering will keep the landlubbers happy while kids of all ages take to the water. For more information about the regatta phone James on 0421 630 600.

Environmental warrior and former Byron Shire councillor Anudhi Wentworth died at Pinehaven nursing home on Sunday, aged 79. A founding member of conservation group BEACON, Anudhi fought strongly for the environment and lobbied for environmental protection in Council’s planning laws. Anudhi was also a founding member of the Byron Bay Community Association and has a chair named in her honour in the community centre’s theatre. She was also involved in the push to get a new library for Byron Bay. A Byron councillor from 1980 to 1995, Anudhi was a thorn in the side

of pro-development councillors. She was hardly impressed with senior Council staff, and often urged them to ‘look in the bottom drawer’ for planning studies and advice they might have forgotten. Anudhi’s failing sight required the assistance of a reader to help with her Council papers. Moves by conservative councillors to abolish her reading allowance, and thus effectively bar her from working as a councillor, met with community outrage. Some community members protested by turning up at a council meeting wearing dark glasses and carrying white canes. The move to withdraw

Council to display holiday letting controls

The Byron Shire proposed holiday letting planning controls will be on public exhibition from Friday February 13 and the community is encouraged to make submissions. Council’s Director of Planning, Development and Environment Servcontinued on page 2 ices, Ray Darney, said the proposed

holiday letting model was in direct response to public concerns surrounding the impact of unregulated holiday letting and was formulated in consultation with the community and stakeholders. ‘Holiday letting has created some negative impacts, including a loss

of permanent rental housing stock which therefore makes it difficult for residents to find local housing.’ Mr darney said in a press release ‘Complaints about holiday letting have been received with residents concerned about noise, anti-social continued on page 2

Two colourful local women Tiffany Brilliant and Melissa Delious, pictured, are unclasping the bra straps of women in the region to reveal the secrets, beauty, shame and joy hidden beneath. The women are currently writing a book about breasts. ‘Breasts are a powerful part of women and we want to celebrate them,’ Melissa told The Echo. ‘In society we are constantly bombarded with images and programming as to how

women “should” look and be. Our aim is to reclaim the pure powerful essence of woman. Big, small, lumpy or droopy – all breasts are magnificent. ‘We would like women in our community to share their breast experiences and feelings, whether raw, funny, vulnerable or whacky. Talented volunteer photographers with design flair and intent to honour women also needed. Please send your stories to heartofthebosom@ hotmail.com.’

Set to benefit from the gym equipment donated by Southern Cross University to Byron Bay Surf Club and Byron Bay High School are, from left, club members and Byron High School students Shannon Hulbert-Green (Under 17 National Ironwoman Champion) and Brendan Irwin, both of Byron Bay. SCU Director of Finance and Business Michael Carter said the University’s donation was in line with its strategy to strengthen links with Byron Bay. Surf club president Neil Cameron said he was thrilled with the donation of the equipment and expected it would attract many new young members of the community to join the surf club, giving them something positive to do.

Holiday letting

‘While the local Holiday Letting Organisation has addressed these complaints with management controls, there continues to be conflict within the community and it is appropriate to resolve the issues and future planning management.’ The proposed model, in-

cluding precincts and certification approval process, will be on exhibition from Friday February 13 until Friday March 20 in Council’s administration building, Station Street, Mullumbimby, between 9am and 4pm. Copies will also be available

her allowance was defeated. Anudhi was also a staunch friend of The Echo’s founding editor, the late Nicholas Shand. She was called up by Nicholas to sing with him at The Echo’s tenth birthday party in 1986. Anudhi’s earlier life was far more exotic than her later years in Byron Shire. A privileged childhood in Sri Lanka led on to life as a dancer at the Copacabana Club in Colombo and a dancing part in the film Elephant Walk. She also toured Europe singing with a Caribbean steel band accompanied by a troupe of Nigerian fire-eaters. In 1954 Anudhi and her father Max travelled overland to Australia from London in a Mercedes Benz sedan. They opened Australia’s first curry house in Melbourne. She later shared a house with Germaine Greer in Paddington, Sydney, and married William Wentworth of the famous Wentworths. She travelled to the first Aquarius festival in Nimbin in 1973 with her four-year-old daughter Lisa and then decided to live in the country. ‘I like the philosophy of the Aboriginal people,’ she once said, ‘that the land does not so much belong to us but that we are responsible for, and belong to it.’

Byron Bay identity Veda Turner told The Echo, ‘The fabulous life of green matriarch Anudhi Wentworth has left a unique legacy to Byron Shire. This “can and will-do” woman inspired a generation of Byron-lovers to not accept the status quo, but go for green and defend and build the qualities that attracted us to this wonderful oasis. ‘Thank you Anudhi – may the longtime sun guide your way home. I’m sure Anudhi would want us all to plant a tree for her, go for green!’ ■ A memorial service is being arranged. For more details call Lisa on 6680 9312.

Meals on Wheels chef hangs up spoon Story & photo Eve Jeffery

After 11 years cooking for the Brunswick Valley Meals on Wheels service, David Robinson has hung up his wooden spoon for the last time at the South Beach Road kitchen in the Community Centre at Brunswick Heads. ‘I have been in the hospitality industry since 1982,’ said David. ‘During that time, I spent 11 years cooking in the Navy and several years working in Canberra at the Hyatt Hotel, Parliament House and wedding and conference centres before arriving in Mullumbimby.’ David and his family live in Main Arm and he had clocked up 10 years and 51 weeks cooking for the service before the cooking and delivery system was changed recently. ‘There have been many highlights during my time spent with MOW. Working with the eclectic bunch of volunteers such as John Reid (aka Hoot), Dennis Broad and Di McGee, who would often land on the doorstep four or five

‘Of course arriving at work each morning was made all the more interesting with a cup of coffee and a saunter over to the beach to watch the Brunswick boot camp group flog themselves (always made me feel fitter afterwards), while having a chat with the early morning surf crew.’

While David waits to see what the future unfolds, there will be no more cooking at the centre as the meals for the service are now all coming from Lismore pre-cooked and snap-chilled. The recipients heat them up themselves, whereas they often used to get them hot.

Intervention ‘not working’: protest A number of local Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people travelled to the Tent Embassy, joining hundreds of people from all over Australia, for the Convergence on Canberra to support Aboriginal People affected by the Northern Territory National Emergency Response Legislation known as the ‘Intervention’, a package of changes to welfare provision, law enforcement, land tenure

Beach takeover stirs Suffolk residents A conference group staying at the Byron at Byron resort angered some local residents last week when they erected tents and conducted a ‘day spa’ on the beach at Suffolk Park off the Wareham Road access. According to one resident, ‘There must have been 35-40 people, with the lot going on – numerous tents conducting yoga, meditation, massage, manicures, tables and chairs, food and drink being served, 3-4 waiter staff shooing the locals and dogs away, truck and vehicles filling up the carpark – and no toilet facilities provided. ‘Our lookout platform was being used as a public toilet – one local saw a guy come up off the beach and pee off the platform!

International media correspondents from prestigious dive magazine Scuba Diver Australasia are flying out a team from Singapore to cover the 2009 Byron Underwater Festival to be held in Byron Bay from Monday April 27 to Sunday May 3. With over $20,000 in prizes up for grabs, the Byron Underwater Photo and Video Shoot-Out is now the richest event of its type in Australia and offers one of the richest prize pools internationally. Tim Hochgrebe, event organiser, says, ‘Extending the festival in 2009 has allowed us to provide underwater photographers and videographers greater flexibility and time to

capture that elusive award winning shot and video footage. ‘To help contestants in the 2009 shoot-out, once again we are bringing back to Australia renowned international underwater photographer Matthieu Meur to conduct beginners and advanced photo clinics early during the festival. This will allow photographers the opportunity to utilise their newly acquired skills during the competition.’ There will be something for everyone and fun for the whole family with many free events and activities. For more information about the festival and bookings go www.underwaterfestival.com.au.

‘A good fun night with a little serious stuff thrown in!’ was how Lions Club President Trevor Watts described the Driver Reviver Information Night held on Wednesday February 4. Nearly 100 volunteers and Lions members attended the dinner at the Ocean Shores Country Club to hear some very good news: ‘The 2007 toll of 445 fatalities was the lowest loss of life on the roads since World War Two and a ten per cent reduction on last year’s figure. This is the fifth consecutive year the road toll has reduced, despite

a steady increase in traffic on our roads.’ Committee Chairman Colin Tarbox provided this information and congratulated all elements of the ‘team’ that make the Driver Reviver site at Yelgun work so well: ‘None of us could do this by ourselves, but the team of community volunteers, the local milkmen, the maintenance crew, Lions Club coordinators have all interacted and cooperated to produce a site that is working well.’ Committeeman Terry Rahill thanked all the volunteers who were presented with certificates and warmly congratulated.

From left to right, Barry Miller, Principal Byron Bay High School, Greg Cloak, School Education Director for the Southern Cross Network of schools, Peter Haigh, North Coast Regional Director for the Dept of Education, congratulate High Achievers in the HSC with David Christie, Year Advisor.

On Monday February 2 Peter Haigh, the North Coast Regional Director for the Department of Education and Training, and Greg Cloak, the School Education Director for the Southern Cross network of schools, came to Byron Bay High School to congratulate HSC students on their outstanding marks. Byron Bay High School was the highest ranking comprehensive school in the HSC on the north coast, an area stretching from Forster to Tweed Heads. Mr Haigh was impressed by the positive environment at the school and spoke about the value of the public education system in providing both a formal and social education. He said that research consistently demonstrated that successful students from public schools continue that success at university or other endeavours because they have well established independent learning skills and self reliance. The Principal Barry Miller spoke warmly about the strong friendships that the students had formed. He was very impressed with how they supported each other, demonstrating a very mature and positive approach to their work.

P&C member Claire Oelrichs, whose son Cooper was one of the high achievers of the year, was thrilled by the academic outcomes of the school. She said, ‘The strong parent body has continued to support the excellent work done by the staff, this coupled with our very special community has meant that Byron Bay High School has earnt its position as the top comprehensive school on the North Coast. ‘We are extremely fortunate to live in an area where there is the opportunity to support the public education system and go to a school which has outperformed some of the GPS Sydney Schools in the HSC. We believe that our top score of 99.6 by David Hertzberg is the highest in the region. To have two other students, Kirra Liu and Rebecca Kilpatrick, come in the top five in the state in different subjects and approximately 20% of students gain a UAI of over 90 shows the depth of quality of the marks.’ Molly Lewis, one of the school captains in 2008, praised the care and expert teaching given by her teachers. ‘We always felt so encouraged to do our best. Our teachers were always there for us, inspiring us to do well.’

New principal for Ocean Shores Story & photo Eve Jeffery

Chris Hauritz’s memories of his school principal are of a man who was unseen by the students. ‘The only contact you had with the principal in those days involved a four foot piece of timber,’ say Chris. ‘Luckily I didn’t get to see him much at all.’ Things have progressed a lot since Chris’s days in Gunnedah Primary, and as the new head of Ocean Shores Public School, Chris believes that it is the hands-on approach that is the secret to success. ‘It is important to have contact with not only the kids, but the parents, families and the whole school community.’ Chris, who did his teacher training at Armidale in the 70s, has 19 years as a principal behind him. His most recent position was a ten year post at Wingham Brush Public School near Taree. Chris knows this region as he has friends and family in the area and it was these and

Design your own dream kitchen the lifestyle that tempted him north. ‘I have been looking at Ocean Shores for a couple of years. It was time for a change and a new challenge and this place is a slice of heaven.’ Getting to know what the school community wants is very important to Chris. Learning about the history of

the school and what the school community values is one of his major goals. He hopes he can do a lot of good work as he and the students enjoy the adventure together. ‘The kids here seem really lovely and the whole school has a lovely family feel, it’s great when the families get

really involved.’ Chris has made the Byron Shire his new home and after almost 30 years in education, he sees his new school as his last school. ‘I hope to be here until I retire in about ten years time,’ he said. ‘Being principal at Ocean Shores is a long term plan.’

Community pays tribute to Jude Mitchell Jude Mitchell, much loved iconic figure from Ocean Shores, passed away at her home last week after battling a recurring incidence of cancer. Judith Helen Mitchell was born in Melbourne on January 2, 1948. The eldest of Edward and Gwen Mitchell’s children, Jude was big sister to her brother Rod. Jude was an intelligent child attending Ringwood State School then Ringwood High School. ‘She was a very sharp and clever girl,’ says Julie McConnell, Jude’s friend since childhood. ‘This was not always recognised because of her seemingly light-hearted view of the world.’ On leaving school Jude attended and was a proud graduate from June Dalley Watkins School of Deportment and then later worked for John Galbally, who became become a sir, at Owen Dixon Chambers, a pres-

tigious building where many legal offices were located. She was fastidious in her presentation both personally and professionally and meticulous with her work leading her to work for many of Melbourne high profile organisations including the Australian Industrial Relations Commission, the Master Builders, Master Painters, Electrical Contractors Federation and TAA. She studied in the area of Industrial relations and delighted in the intrigue and at times turmoil of this period. Jude had three husbands; Conor Dwyer, a man who followed a young Judy back after a year in the UK in the early 70s, Bruce Shaw, a fellow legal mind and finally the then chief pilot for TAA, Athol Fraser, with whom she moved to Sydney and opened a health food shop in Wynyard Station. Always a keen sportswoman Jude played tennis and golf

from a young age. Jude loved her music, particularly Shirley Bassey and Frank Sinatra. She and friends would spend many hours listening to LPs with Jude singing and dancing her way along with the music. Jude lit up a room and indeed a party when she arrived. Jude also loved to shock and when the chemo caused her to lose all her hair she dressed up as Uncle Fester from the Munsters and went to a party at the Ocean Shores golf club with a bald head. Judy was an active member at the golf club and will be sadly missed, not only by the Lady Golfers and their committee but the whole of the Ocean Shores Country Club. Of her life in Ocean Shores, Jude was best known for the business she built up in the late 80s, from a kiosk, into Mitchell’s News and Post and known in the wider community as the

woman who fended off a would be thief, telling him she ‘worked hard for her money’ before chasing him from the premises with a brush hook, all of this while recovering from having a breast removed and ongoing cancer treatment. Jude became ill late last October and had surgery in December. She underwent a grueling regimen of further treatment in January, but slipped away on Monday February 2 in search of her next adventure, with Val her dear partner and friend there to say goodbye for us all. Not one to stand on ceremony, Jude requested that those who would remember her would not indulge in a dour, depressing funeral and with this in mind there was standing room only at the Ocean Shores Country Club last Thursday for those gathered to remember, laugh and celebrate knowing this larger-than-life woman.

Ways to reinvent the village Margo Sutton

The Sustainability Research Institute (SRI) in Byron and Lismore brings research and educational programs about ecological, social and economic sustainability to the local community. The Institute promotes sustainable living practices and infrastructure design for harmony, beauty and the enhancement of nature’s ecological systems. Just what we need in the 21st century. On Friday February 13 at Repentance Creek Hall at 7pm, the SRI will present ‘Reinventing the Village’ by Gabi Bohnet, plus two extraordinary films – Garbage Warriors, which shows pioneering work on sustainable housing, recycling materials and changing goverment attitudes, and How to Save the World – One man, one cow, one planet, an inspiring film which demonstrates how making our land more fertile can change the course of history. Gabi Bohnet, pictured, is a passionate sustainability advocate. As an architect and somewhat of a nomad, she focuses on where we live and how we can improve our environs. She has worked with CAFNEC (Cairns and Far North Environment Centre) on commu-

nity input into the Regional Draft Plan 2025 and Cairns ‘Visioning the Future Forum’ and ‘Sustainable Maleny’. She is currently on tour with her presentation ‘Sustainable Settlements in Germany’. On Friday night Gabi will explain and show footage of the recently completed showcase settlement of FreiburgVaubun in Germany, which is a sort of Utopia for the twenty-first century. Kids can play safely on the Freiburg-Vaubun streets. Priority is given to pedestrians, cyclists and public transport. Residents worked together to produce traffic calming and reduction with car pooling and incentives through discounts to use public transport. All houses are built with low energy standards. Extensive use of solar energy via photovoltaics and solar collectors

means some buildings are ‘plus energy’ houses. All the required infrastructure – shops, services, workplaces, educational, cultural, social and daily activities are located within the settlement. The participation of residents in the planning process at Freiburg-Vaubun was vital. Preference was given to owner or tenant-cooperatives instead of developers. Citizens formed working groups to put in place new energy concepts. Residents were involved in the design of their buildings, apartments and green spaces. There are turf-covered roofs, grey water recycling, storm water channeling into established wetlands, minimal ground sealing and an extensive network of bicycle paths and walking tracks. All this has been achieved in Germany, in newly built towns with 4,200 residential units for 10,000 to 12,000 inhabitants. The town plan was created from a competition in urban development and landscape planning in 1992. I hope a lot of people come to Repentance Creek hall on Friday the 13th at 7pm.. It might be a wakeup call for those of us who feel we must transform our environment from simply tidy to transition towns.

17 retailers oppose Woolies arrival in Mullumbimby Lou Beaumont

The Echo conducted a survey of retail and café businesses in Burringbar, Dalley and Stuart Streets, Mullumbimby, with a view to finding out how many retailers are for or against Woolworths coming to town. We did not survey ‘service’ businesses such as optometrists, lawyers or real estate agents, whose trade does not depend so much on downtown position. We also did not survey the Mallam Group, whose views in favour of Woolworths are well known. Of the 34 business owners or managers interviewed, only one was particularly keen on Woolworths being in Mullumbimby and 17 were completely against the idea. Four businesses were indifferent to the idea and three others were somewhat neutral, believing that Woolworths coming to town could have both positive and negative effects. Two business owners declined to comment and the remainder were unavailable for comment.

‘Do Mullum good’ The lone supporter chose to remain anonymous but said she believed Woolworths ‘would do Mullumbimby good’. She said, ‘I think it may keep people shopping in town. They should have let Mallams build over there [Station Street], then they wouldn’t have the Woolworths debate.’ For the record, Mallams did get approval from the state government to build on the site but then onsold the approval to Woolworths.

The majority of other interviewees chose anonymity too, with a shared feeling that times ahead will be tough enough without alienating valuable customers. However, it will come as no surprise to regular Echo readers that of those willing to go on the record against Woolworths are Paul Medeiros of Eden’s Landing, John Dolman of Santos and Linda Rutledge of LuLu’s Café. Russ Taylor of Silver Thread and Brian McDonald of Brown’s Bakery are two more business owners against Woolworths coming to Mullum and willing to say so.

as the reason they are so against the idea. One business told The Echo, ‘They [Woolworths] cut the guts out of everything then once all the other businesses have gone they make you pay a dearer price.’ Several businesses echoed this comment, many citing personal experiences with supermarket giants from Ocean Shores, Alstonville, Casino and Maleny to name a few. Paul Medeiros from Eden’s said, ‘They [Woolworths] are unfair players. They can’t hide from that, we have seen it in so many other communities. I have already heard two friends and Mullum business ownMultinational impact ers talking about packing up McDonald said, ‘I’m shitting and leaving if the build goes myself!

A Byron Shire Symposium Network will be launched on April 5 to coincide with the existing Byron Bay Market days. Organisers say it is an experimental process being monitored by the Sustainability Research Institute, and the purpose is threefold: bring more visibility to not-for-profit organisations in Byron Shire; create a sustainable environmental future in the Byron Shire; and establish an agreement on how to make community decisions Byron Shire Councillor Simon Richardson supports the Symposium Network concept. he said, ‘Important environmental issues can’t be decided upon by government administrators and then thrust upon the people. This is an opportunity to generate a groundswell of community discussion on energy, transport, home design, water, food and community resilience to face the years ahead (Climate Change, Clean Energy, Recession, etc). Any real solutions

to these challenges must be owned fully by the people before the media and government administration (local, state and national) can come to the community’s aid.’ Paul Spooner, of the Byron Youth Service and co-founder of the Byron Social Forum, said, ‘With the assistance of Kerry O’Brien of ABC’s 7.30 Report, the Byron Social Fo-

rum was launched in June 2008 to encourage broad based community discussions. The development of the Symposiums is a very tangible effort towards that goal.’ If you have an interest in participating in these Symposiums, assisting in planning or sponsorship, contact Ricardo Johansson at ricardo@1062.org or 0417 489 293. www.echo.net.au

Comment

Kevin’s package stands up to scrutiny Volume 23 #35

February 10, 2009

The growth myth The stimulus Kevin Rudd plans to give to the economy by injecting $42 billion and plunging the country into deficit supports the prevailing myth that growth is necessarily good. As the activist Doug Tompkins pointed out on a recent visit to Byron Shire, unbridled growth cannot be sustained at the expense of the planet’s resources. As they say at the Center for the Advancement of the Steady State Economy (www.steadystate.org): ‘An economic translation of the first law of thermodynamics is that we cannot make something from nothing. All economic production must come from resources provided by nature. Also any waste generated by the economy cannot simply disappear. At given levels of technology, therefore, economic growth entails increasing resource use and pollution.’ This is all very well for theorists and rich people, you might say. Rudd’s stimulus will help the ‘average’ Australian family put food on the table and keep breadwinners in jobs. But in the end that food and job depend on a resource base which will be eroded (or destroyed) if we continue to demand too much growth. The transition to a low-impact economy – rather than one where consuming more stuff is the holy grail – need not be painful nor involve a decline in ‘quality of life’. Some of the tools and means are here now in Byron Shire. We can buy local produce and products which have not been shipped halfway around the nation or from across the globe, lessen our reliance on power by using less of it, recycle green and paper waste and buy less stuff with non-degradable wrapping, and so on. Kevin Rudd has in a sense taken the easy road in focusing his attention on the ‘global financial crisis’ – see excerpts from his essay at www.themonthly.com.au – rather than facing the more pressing problems of climate change. The talk of constraining capitalism and Turnbull’s lame gibe that Rudd is revealing his true ‘socialist’ nature mean nothing to younger generations who don’t care about the political Left/Right divide – they see their planet burning and want real change. Of course the elephant in the room is population, as letter writers have pointed out of late. If the human species does not control the urge to procreate at some stage, then no amount of resource conservation will protect us from a sticky end. – Michael McDonald, editor

hat makes Malcolm Turnbull’s unqualified opposition to Kevin Rudd’s $42 billion package more than usually perverse is that almost everything in the package is undeniably good policy. Refurbishing schools, insulating homes and updating moribund infrastructure would be worthwhile at any time, not just when the economy is in desperate need of stimulus. Indeed these are among the many things that should have been done in the boom years, when the government was awash with money. Instead of course, Turnbull’s old mob decided that there were more votes to be gained in handouts to the middle class and in tax cuts. Incredibly, Turnbull believes that tax cuts are also the answer to a looming recession. Obviously they are the answer to everything. Douglas Adams and Kevin Rudd, both of whom believe the answer is in fact 42, are clearly mistaken. Turnbull does, however, have a minor problem of consistency. He purports to be concerned about the projected deficits, or as he prefers to call them, the crushing debts we will leave to our children. But at least Rudd’s lump sum payments, expensive as they may be, are one-off costs. Tax cuts are permanent; they are locked into the economic structure as a reduction of revenue year after year. They would make escaping the deficits far more difficult than anything Rudd has proposed. But, Turnbull responds, he wouldn’t spend anything like as much as Rudd is suggesting – barely half that, in fact. Why? So he could come back for seconds and spend the rest later. Exactly how that would ease the crushing debt on our children is not explained.

W

It is hard to avoid the conclusion that Turnbull is merely posturing; that he does not really want to substitute a program of his own (indeed, apart from the chant of tax cuts he does not appear to have one) and he does not really want to stop Rudd’s from being implemented. Chris Evans, the government leader in the Senate, was quite right when he said that the Libs were wetting their pants at the idea that one

courageous (as Sir Humphrey Appleby would certainly describe it) approach. The doubters in his own party must now admit that he has taken a stand in firm opposition to the government, and this in itself is a welcome change. The question to be answered is whether it turns out to be the stand of a brilliant politician or the last twitch of an unreconstructed merchant banker.

Turnbull’s real hope is that Rudd’s package is seen to fail; that the recession grabs Australia as relentlessly as it will the rest of the world. by Mungo MacCallum of the independents might actually join them and vote the bills down. Turnbull’s real hope is that Rudd’s package goes through and is seen to fail; that the recession grabs Australia as relentlessly as it will the rest of the world. He could then claim vindication: under his policies we would still have had the recession, but we would have saved all that money. And of course we would still have had run-down schools, decrepit infrastructure, and houses totally unsuited to the threat of climate change, not to mention a $950 hole in the household budgets of the needy, but that’s what we call responsible economic management. However if, as most economists, the business community and Colin Barnett, the only Liberal premier, all believe, Rudd’s policies actually succeed to a worthwhile extent, Turnbull will be left looking very politically seedy. But then, he was looking pretty seedy before he came up with this

And let’s not forget that it was mainly the merchant bankers who got us into this mess in the first place. Wouldn’t it be a bit naïve to trust one to get us out again? peaking of the unreconstructed, Peter Howson is dead. We learn this from a rather confused piece in last Tuesday’s Australian by Caroline Overington, who described him as Australia’s first Minister for Aboriginal Affairs. Of course he wasn’t; that honour belongs to William Charles Wentworth, a committed fighter for the cause who was appointed by John Gorton in 1968. At the time Howson was part of a clique undermining Gorton on behalf of William McMahon. When McMahon finally got the job in 1971, Howson lined up for his reward; having held down a junior ministry during the Menzies, Holt and even Gorton years he thought he was in line for promotion. But it was not to be. As he left

S

the new prime minister’s office, a colleague asked him what he had got. Howson snarled back: ‘The little bastard gave me trees, boongs and poofters.’ He was referring to the admittedly incongruous grab-bag of Environment, Aborigines and The Arts, three areas in which the McMahon government had not the slightest interest. And in that sense, Howson was the ideal choice. His ignorance of the environment led me to christen him Peter Howson-Garden. His disdain for matters aesthetic resulted in Phillip Adams describing him as a pain in the arts. And on Aborigines, he was a dedicated Hasluckian: they could assimilate or die out and he didn’t really care which. Howson lost his seat in 1972 and left Canberra unmourned and unmissed. But some 30 years later the culture-history wars saw him resurrected by Quadrant. Along with another political nonentity of similar paternalistic views, Labor’s Gary Johns, he became one of editor P P McGuinness’s resident authorities on the subject. He outlived his editor and survived to hear Kevin Rudd’s long overdue apology to the stolen generations, which he had derided as a silly fairy tale. He had, Overington informs us, a lifelong commitment to the deaf. That figures. On which happy note I’m taking off for a month in India a country which, with all its extremes and contradictions, I find strange and challenging. I shall get my personal stimulus there, without resort to Rudd’s package or to Swami Makya Chunda of the Snatchyahandbag Ashram. Cosmic revelations for all (especially Kevin Rudd and Malcolm Turnbull) around March 18. Cheers.

Do market forces roll on inevitably? With the good news that the Woolworths project for Mullumbimby has sensibly been given the go-ahead, the community might now reflect on opportunities this will offer for business people with real knowledge of market forces and needs. We must accept that Woolworths have done their homework, obviously regard Mullumbimby as a growth area, and in line with movement at Bangalow, Brunswick Heads, their project may take some of the pressure off Byron Bay CBD. Thus, recognising the inevitable, might I suggest to the Byron Shire Council that they now sell the Telstra site which they were persuaded to buy with the illusional view that this would, in some vague way, inhibit Woolworth’s expansion. $600,000 was realised from such a sale, this could be spent in improving our pot-holed roads, providing more cycle ways, or simple placed into pool against the day when, hopefully, the disused rail line between Mullumbimby and Byron Bay will become a cycle/ walk/horse trail.

How delightful to see Tracey Hamilton’s picture of her children strolling down the lane to feed the neighbour’s chickens (Letters, February 3). This tranquil image beautifully conveys what we want to preserve in Mullum: a future for our children that includes caring for each other and the earth. Tracey, it’s not ‘when’ but ‘if Woolworths come’. Await the ace from the sleeve. As Martin Luther King said, ‘…do not accept despair as a final response’. Keep on feeding the chooks.

Deborah Lilly

Mullumbimby

There is no-one more outraged than the critic who is taken to task. Deborah Lilly’s indignant response to W B Crompton’s audacious observation of her many righteous crusades demonstrates that her views on all matters are not to be questioned as she is ever at the ready with dustpan and broom to save us all. Interestingly she states a figure of ‘10% of the population of Mullum’ as supRichard Kidby porting her views on the Mullumbimby Woolworths development

The meaning of cats On my daily walk, I see cats stalking native birds. During the night, I hear cats advertising their presence in my garden and know that they alternate this with nocturnal hunting.

■

Transport Minister, John Anderson, once famously described Northern NSW as a ‘giant car park’. At the time he was referring to the area around Tweed Heads, but in the intervening years the applicability of the expression has shifted southwards. There is only so much space in Byron Bay. If we continue to use more and more of that space for car parking and bigger roads, it is inevitable that we will wake up one day and realise that our town has turned into a giant car park. Hardly an attractive place for tourists to visit. Last week’s news that an extra ‘200-300 car parks’ are to

but makes no mention of the 90% of Mullum residents who don’t support her views and want to have improved supermarket shopping and parking in their town. Contrary to Ms Lilly’s opinion that all local businesses will close down once Woolworths open, the reverse will apply as local businesses who want to grow their business will have the opportunity to offer their services to an increased number of shoppers due to Woolworths’ presence here. The Mullumbimby of today is not the Mullumbimby of 40 years ago; the population has grown enormously since then. The residents now deserve a town with varied and competitive shopping, decent parking, a proper sewerage system, land available for housing, infrastructure to match and employment opportunities for those who wish to live and work here. Mullumbimby was established a long time ago by pioneers who had a vision of a prosperous growing community with the amenities necessary to support its inhabitants and to provide a future for their descendants. The negativity of be catered for on the fringe of the Byron Bay market site will see car parking pushed right to the edge of the Cumbebin wetland. What next? Destroy the wetlands or do what Murwillumbah is doing and start building multi-storey car parking stations? Needless to say continually expanding the supply of car parks in the town will only create an incentive for more cars to enter town and cause even more congestion along the approaches to and the centre of town. The solution to congestion, pollution and safety issues associated with cars in town will never be a solution

Ocean Shores ■ I was delighted with D Lilly’s

response to my previous letter. It prompts my reply, ‘There are none so blind as those that cannot see.’ Her description of where she came from reads very much like what it was like here before people starting flocking in. Deborah, you say you represent 10% of the population, then you must realise 90% think differently. People have to realise the world is filling up and nobody knows how to stop this. Imagine how the Aboriginal people felt 50 years after those white sails appeared on the horizon. Forty years ago I took a petition to Council to try and stop a boat ramp going in at The Pass. I’ve hardly been down there since, but I’m sure it’s changed. How many of the 10% have lived here more that 20 years and of those, how many pay rates?

transport such as cycleways and walkways, encouraging tourists to get out of their cars, improved public transport, making better use of the rail line and better urban planning that reduces the need of residents and others to use cars. I’d also like to point out that Council is getting on with the expansion of alternative transport with all of the $609,000 federal government money announced last year being allocated to new cycleway and walkway projects by Council at its December meeting. Our efforts to save Byron Bay and other parts of the north

coast from becoming a giant car park would be massively boosted if some of the latest federal money for infrastructure were to be allocated to commuter rail services on the Casino-Murwillumbah line. Cr Basil Cameron

Objections ignored The real estate agent must have been joking when he stated ‘public consultation (was) a key part of the design’ for the Main Arm subdivision called Habitat Glen (Echo, February 3). The Main Arm community was never consulted when the 1998 Council selected Main

Arm for up to 135 new houses in suburban style subdivisions. In 2006, Council ignored over 300 objections and the valid concerns of the community when it approved the rezoning. The DA for this particular subdivision received 56 submissions objecting, and none in favour. The proposed Main Arm developments seem to have been designed to maximise the developers’ profits at the expense of the community and the environment. At the rezoning stage the developer proposed to pay for an environmentally friendly centralised wastewater system.

The DA proposes onsite systems, to be paid for instead by each landowner. These would fail Council’s guidelines for onsite systems, confirmed by Council staff ’s letter to the developer: ‘… all the village allotments are within the 100m buffer distance to permanent surface waters… any failure of these systems will result in an almost immediate pollution of the Brunswick River.’ At the rezoning stage the Main Arm developers proposed extensive upgrades to both dangerous, substandard access roads, to accommodate the increase in traffic brought

about by the development. These proposals are missing in the DA, and it appears that Council has no plans to fix the access roads or ask the developer to help pay for these critical safety upgrades. Council has a duty of care responsibility to ensure that developments they approve don’t negatively impact on the health, safety and welfare of the community. Council must not fail this duty by approving these developments without making the access roads safer, and demanding the centralised wastewater system proposed at the rezoning stage in order to prevent pollution of the river

Unfair to blokes The Milk movie review in last week’s Echo was just another example of vilification and discrimination towards the anonymous Aussie bloke. The same kind of vilification the movie was portraying about the ‘poofters’ (as John Campbell so delicately put it). There is nothing wrong with someone feeling uncomfortable about watching two ‘poofters’ kissing and wanting to leave for that or any other reason. Why does anyone have to endure a movie just because it’s politically correct? We left the movie because it was the same story as most of the other freedom fighting movies and were bored with it. I went for a surf, threw a barbie, got pissed with me mates, beat the wife and passed out in the back of me ute. The truth, though, is that this ‘Aussie bloke’ left the film to be attentive to his daughter and share in the experience of her first week of school. Don’t let blind judgement get in the way of a story, mate. Liam Dufty

However the main culprit has got to be the skydivers’ plane which commences operations at dawn and continues throughout the day most days all year round. This aircraft has to climb to jumping height under power (read noise) and it takes quite some time to reach its jumping height. While I admit a lot of the climb is over the ocean a lot is over Byron and environs. There may be Gold Coast student fliers in our skies but they are not the main source of aircraft noise.

There was a public climate change meeting in Ballina last Tuesday. I asked the question that since our national efforts were reduced to a 5% cut in COď™… due to our high level of population growth, then shouldn’t we consider cutting our population growth so our national cut could be greater. Another person then backed up my suggestion, explaining the impossibility of having, concurrently, population growth and reductions in environmental impact. He was very angrily shouted down by a number of people. The change in mood at the meeting was extreme; mentioning human population had created an outrage. And the later explained reason was because it wasn’t ‘equitable’ to restrict our borders. A few facts. At current growth rates, by 2050: Australian population will be over 40M, US up from 300M now to 400M, and globally 6.7B to

No easy way to deal with the problem of wild dogs ■In response to the article ‘Wild dogs on the attack in Byron hinterland: what to do?’ (Echo, February 3). Kelly, what were you thinking? To all appearances this article comes across as an advertisement for the poison 1080 and also gives instructions for its use! ‘Oh, I didn’t know the problem was so bad but it must be because it gets a whole page!’ The farmer says; the landowner says. ‘I better run out and get me some of that there poison right away because I’m a ratepayer and I got me one of them Chemical Users Cards!’ And where’d you get the image of Cujo? Is that a local mutt? I don’t think so. Oh, and the mental images you provide? The first to ap-

pall is ‘. . . the trapped dog who is terrified and in pain . . .’, the second, a seeming justification for the use of this insidious poison: ‘. . . there is no doubt that 1080 causes a slow and painful death but‌’, Your stats re legumes, quolls and eagles prove/justify what? Ku and Chay? Glad you got away. Much courage to you! Neil Hing? Sorry there’s just you, man, but whose fault is that up the ladder a bit? What happens if the animal (or pack) dies while lapping at Wilsons Creek, hmm? 1080 is banned in several countries and restricted in many more. Why not Australia? It’s okay to use it here despite studies? It’s okay to use it in Tassie: the forest companies use it to kill possums, wallabies and the pa-

demelon because they munch on seedlings. Figures released (May 2004) reveal that almost 100,000 native animals were killed by 1080 in one year alone (source: www.tas.greens.org.au). Those statistics do not mention domestic pets caught up in the mayhem. 1080 has also, according to my research, been tested as a chemical warfare agent and insecticide. It is odourless and tasteless, the dying unbelievably brutal. For further info, anyone else, go to www.animal-lib.org.au/ subject/subject/1080-poison. htm. Sure, if there’s a problem, fix it. Think of some other way. What about landmines?

especially in my area as there are particular rules which apply to persons who live near the local primary school you referred to. Wilsons Creek area has had an ongoing ‘dog’ problem since 2006; this has involved foxes, wild dogs and wandering pets. The only part of the problem which can be controlled is wandering pets. It is time that the owners of these pets took full responsibility and kept them contained within their lot just the same as people who own cows, horses and other animals do. ‘Wild dogs’ are seen by a many people in my immediate neighbourhood almost on a daily basis, more frequently there is only one lone dog

seen. The plovers are an indicator that there is something around during the nights. It has become rare to see wallabies which over the years have abounded on my property. The sighting of koalas and bandicoots has also lessened compared to 15 years ago. I realise there is a predator/prey ratio but the predators seem to be outnumbering the prey and maybe the homo sapiens are on the prey list. I don’t have any solution and only hope that the community as a whole can offer some constructive suggestion to overcome this problem of dogs in the hinterland so that the wildlife and stock can survive long term.

it be more equitable to allow those skilled workers to apply their skills to develop their own country rather than abusing them to greedily develop ours, and to stop our addiction to the Global Gag Rule so they can also manage their own numbers? If equality means open borders with scant regard to a country’s carrying capacity, then isn’t it equally applicable locally? Are these equitable crusaders leaving their front doors open to the homeless and destitute in their local area? And if not, why not?

More thoughts on buying Mount Chincogan the onslaught of the 19th century? It could be replanted with endemic and endangered species, some of which are unique to this area. It could become the jewel in the crown of our Shire, with walking paths to the top and toilets and garbage bins provided. The potential for education and employment in the lean times ahead is well imaginable. Instead of the camphors and the scrubby regrowth, we could have a well planned ark illustrating and saving the amazing diversity of the caldera. It could become another string in the bow of an ailing tourist industry and another alternative to walking the streets of Byron. I’m sure even Ross Tucker would approve. He might even use his influence to make it happen.

Now old ancient trees become more rare and old trees on the island where I came from are visited by people so that they can have the profound experience that such tree spirits can give. I learned and was given many gifts of awareness with the essence of nature from those ancient tree spirits. Once you walk through the ancient forest, you will understand what I mean. It was hard to explain with words. It was beyond words, but deeply I felt I am belonging to this nature. Yes, as you know, we are all part of nature. Why do we have to destroy our mother nature?

To my surprise both groups have identified the turtle as a Loggerhead Turtle (Caretta caretta). We see a lot of wildlife on the beach but this was so unexpected.

Main Arm It has been great to read about the interest in Mt Chincogan as a public property and rainforest regeneration site. On our side of the mountain we have let the forest regenerate over the top 30% of our property and we have set aside large areas of gullies and steep slopes on the rest of the property for active and passive regeneration. We hope to regenerate over 100 acres all up. We think it is a great idea to do the same on the northern side. We also like the idea of some

public access to the top of the mountain, however as nice as this sounds in theory the reality is quite different. Firstly we want to clarify that we never stood in the way of the Chincogan Charge. It is a great community event and we would love to see this ressurrected. However, it was the preparations for the Chincogan Charge that caused many problems and we would like those with lofty ideas to take these problems into consideration. One of the constant annoyances was that runners would practise for the run for months before, and so as to keep real time they would leave the gates open between neighbouring properties. The runners would even cut locks and chains to get their way. Cattle would then get into the wrong properties and many United Nations Permanent Five Veto power. Ad van Beers

hours were wasted by the various property owners in sorting these out. This would go on for months on a weekly and often daily basis and was probably the cause for the eventual access denial by our neighbours. We can’t really blame them.

As seen in the sales promo photo (Vol 23#29), there is a sight line from the river mouth, between the peaks, to the top of Boogarem which has been revealed in the past year or so to be the site where Yar-birrin, the eldest of the Bundjalung three brothers ancestor story, spoke to God.

The ethics cycle It seems that our life experience is, at least at some levels, cyclical. We are just about to experience a turnaround in general ethics in the human world. For ten years or more there has been a relentless stream of obvious examples of unethical behaviour by our community leaders. These actions, by virtue of the perpetrators’ high celebrity status, were watched by the whole community and the malign influences have been absorbed by the population’s psyche. We need some idealism and optimism to allow ourselves to believe it is all over, at least for a while, and indeed some our new leaders are giving us clear cause to hope for the best. We must give our leaders the space to talk as well as act more ethically and perhaps encourage them by behaving more ethically ourselves. Let our awareness of our

Surfing in the rain O

ne of the most memorable surfing experiences I have ever had, occurred on a dark and stormy afternoon at Broken Head in mid March last year. We had been getting a run of stinking hot sunny days and were becoming a little weathered. But the waves had been so damn good it was hard to stay out of the water. While surfing with a few mates we watched a big dark ominous cloud approach from out at sea. What little breeze we did previously have suddenly stopped and an eerie calm came over the water. The sky became instantly darker and large heavy drops of rain began to fall. You could look back to the beach and watch all the people gather up their towels and kids and head back to the carpark to make a quick getaway before the inevitable storm. But for us surfers in the water it was just getting better, the waves became smooth and glassy and

we had the whole place to ourselves. Then it started bucketing down, it was raining so hard that it was splashing back up in your face from the water’s surface as you paddled for each wave. It was unreal surfing almost perfect Broken Head and getting nice long rides to ourselves. And it was getting even better, the only others to join us in the lineup were a pod of bottlenose dolphins, who were happily

playing, jumping out of and surfing the waves with us while rounding up their fish for dinner. I was lucky enough to paddle onto a whole bunch of great waves that day, but the most memorable one was when I had two dolphins riding along in front of me and sharing my wave, it was like they were mirroring my every move, as I would cut back across the face, the

dolphins would turn back in the same direction, then as I would turn back, they would go further away from me again. They stayed on the wave with me for almost the whole ride, it was unreal! It was definitely a great way to spend a wet and gloomy autumn afternoon. And my mates and I will still be talking about it for years to come I’m sure. Peace a.b. www.echo.net.au

Coastal Connections M

y name is Joshua Slabb. I am from Fingal Head in Northern New South Wales. I grew up in the house that my grandfather built – the same house in which my father and his seven siblings were raised. There are many exciting aspects to my life but none as exciting as the ocean or as my people know it ‘Boorragar’. To grasp the full association that my people, people of the Bundjalung Nation have for the ocean we have to start in the beginning. Bundjalung people and most coastal Indigenous tribes in Australian gain their nourishment and some their existence from the sea. Since the beginning of time the sea has provided my people with the riches that it has to offer in the sense of food, story and limitless knowledge of the Tweed-Byron region we call home. My people the Goodjingburra people of Fingal Head are people that have relied on the ocean

and its resources for many years: oysters, pipis, mud crabs and fish to name a few. These resources have not only sustained my people for many years but have provided neighbouring and visiting tribes with plenty.

in place for generations to come. Most of these resources are under threat of being wiped out. As a boy my family gathered and hunted for me, now as a man I continue to hunt and gather for my young family, community

Since the beginning of time the sea has provided my people with the riches that it has to offer… Much cultural lore is in place when it comes to dealing with our land and sea and this must be adhered adhered to so that land, sea and resources are sustained. It is very hard to continue to live the way that my ancestors have lived for so many years because of overfishing and harvesting of the resource that we traditionally used. There are also many regulations we continue to work within, and at times try to negotiate different outcomes so that our culture can also remain

and elders. I feel it is very important that Aboriginal people are allowed to continue to rely on the resource that the oceans and rivers of this beautiful region offer because intertwined in our hunting and gathering practices is extensive cultural ecological knowledge. This cultural ecological knowledge and intimate connection Aboriginal people have with the land and sea is represented in our everyday lives. We know when the Bilungu (Paper bark tree) is in flower and

when the Jullum (fish – in particular the Sea Mullet) are fat. There are many applications of this cultural ecological knowledge still obtained and practiced in the Tweed-Byron area today by local Aboriginal people. In 2006 I was given an opportunity to undergo a cadetship at the Cape Byron Marine Park, which has led me to complete a degree in Environmental Science and Management (Coastal Management),

and to gain full time work as a marine ranger at the Cape Byron Marine Park. This has placed me in a position where I can give back in the form of conservation to the ocean and I am. Not only am I able to practice a significant lore of my people, which is ‘Always look after the land and sea, because the land and sea looks after you’. The position will also help me communicate me to translate to others in authority just how important hunting, fishing and gathering is to my people and how important it is to the preservation of our culture.

outcomes. They are extremely organic, chai drinking, good people who are devastated by what is happening with young people in our community. It is very apparent now, and sad to see, that the problem of out of control young people extends beyond Byron Shire’s borders. The young people of this shire have now effectively locked themselves out of every venue that was available to them. This impacts on everyone, young and old alike. Of course one realises that not all young people behave badly and perhaps it is up to these kids to deal with the offenders who have denied them a place to enjoy music.

The problem with young people crashing and or trashing local venues is not a new one. In Main Arm the problem has escalated to such an extent that, as the event organiser of Deep Funk in the Forest states, ‘Kohinur Hall has stopped having gigs altogether’. This was an action taken reluctantly by the committee and was done in the interests of public safety and to prevent further damage to the hall and its amenities. Consequently Kohinur Hall now has a policy of low-key, minimal impact hirings. The Deep Funk organisers moved to Repentance Creek Hall from Kohinur after three years of successful family orientated functions following Where are your kids? In Hans’s article Mr Maximo two disastrous events last year. These were apart from the Hip asks a very relevant question, Hop gig mentioned in Hans that is, where are the moms Lovejoy’s article in The Echo. and dads? I would add another. Do you parents know Loud and abusive where your kids are on a FriOne Deep Funk event in day and Saturday night? Surely some of you do as we October last year attracted approximately 250 kids – many have seen when you drop your of them did not pay to enter, kids off at Kohinur complete had their own party outside with six-packs of alcopops the hall, were loud, disruptive and leave them to find their and abusive and blocked en- own way home. However I suspect many of try and exit to the valley by parking cars anywhere and you don’t know where your partying in the street.

It must be pointed out that a) know where they are and b) the Deep Funk organisers arrange for them to be collectare not responsible for these ed and delivered safely home.

These are kids we are talking about after all – 14 to 18 year olds, ‘P’ plate drivers. Venues alike have a responsibility and a duty of care to their patrons and community. That is why the committee of the Upper Main Arm Community Association (UMACA) has taken what we consider to be the responsible action in joining other public halls and community centres and ceasing all bands and ‘gigs’. We do not want to see people harmed or terrorised by hordes of out-of-control kids and we definitely do not want to see kids harm themselves or their friends when they drive about in the early hours in altered states.

Why this behaviour? The question that comes to my mind is, ‘Why do kids want to behave in this way?’ I know it is question that is worrying local youth workers and there have been workshops in recent times that have discussed the phenomenon of youth behaviours, drug use and violence. Perhaps there could be one for parents. I know members of UMACA would be pleased to meet with youth workers to discuss these and other issues. It is not a blame game, it is a social reality that needs to be understood and dealt with so that everyone can continue to enjoy the wonderful facilities we share, and we can bring music back to the hills. ■Peter Leishman is the Public Officer for UMACA.

What the Japanese know about their whaling Hans Lovejoy

What do the Japanese think of whaling? Not a lot because they don’t know about it, according to local Japanese woman Takako. She is hoping to let people know in Australia that the Japanese are generally unaware the whaling and dolphin industry exist. ‘The governments and the media in Japan don’t talk about these issues very much,’ she says. ‘They seem to want to make people unaware of it.’ Japanese fisherman Mr Ishii from Ito used to kill dolphins, according to Takako, as that was the local industry in his area. He decided to stop killing ten years ago when he found out it was internationally recognised as illegal. ‘They were killing more than the international rule allowed, and killing a breed of dolphin the international community wants protected. He said publically “I’m sorry the Japanese fishermen still think whales are big fish. I stopped because dolphins cry when they are killed, and sound like a baby human crying.” ‘He started a tourist business, taking people on his boat out to watch and photograph the whales and dolphins. He is the only one who is doing this in his area. The killing is still going on despite this, and he is

a lone voice for the protection of whales and dolphins.’ Sea Sheperd were called an ‘aggressive animal protection group’ by the Japanese media, according to Takako. After last year’s action, many people became aware of the whaling. ‘Most Japanese don’t know the Sea Sheperd crews are purely a non profit group and are vegetarians or vegans.’ She says GreenPeace Japan has also has been working hard to inform the Japanese public. ‘Their website shows informa-

tion in Japanese to help make people became aware. I think it’s the most important thing and the best way to address this issue. Otherwise misunderstanding between unaware Japanese people and Australians will continue. ‘There is not good communication between Australia and Japan over whaling. Some Japanese people feel they are attacked by other nations over the whaling. Many think whaling is part of Japanese culture. ‘Some Japanese become up-

set for being blamed for this, as they think there is nothing wrong with their culture. Everybody eats animal meat in Australia as well.’ Only 5% of Japanese people ‘sometimes’ eat whale meat, Takako claims. ‘Most of the younger generation don’t even know of the word ‘whaling’. Lately whale meat started to be seen at restaurants more often. It’s because too much meat has been stocked and needs to be sold. ‘Japan is now facing a big economical crisis; there are many homeless and poor people in Japan. In such times, the government is still spending around 200 million yen tax to keep the whaling business going every year. ‘We don’t need to kill whales, dolphins and other animals to keep our lives going. We are wise enough to make the whole world lifestyle sustainable and share this gift from this planet with everyone. ‘If you want to do something good for the ocean, please plant trees and please don’t be depressed or sad but send the biggest love from the universe to yourself. ‘Everything is connected. The earth is our home, we are family. It’s a small one planet. Shall we take hands and sing and dance with whales and dolphins?’

Artist Hobie Porter says, ‘The Byron Bay Art Diary is a growing success and I feel privileged to have been selected as the 2009 cover artist, as I realise this gives me exposure on national and international levels.’ The Byron Bay Art Diary will continue to dedicate proceeds in support of The Buttery Therapeutic Community and PAN (Practising Artists Network).

Byron at Byron takes national award On January 17 the winners of The Australian annual Travel & Tourism Awards were announced. The award for Best Resort Accommodation (under 100 rooms) went to our Byron at Byron Resort and Spa. Other winners included the Bay of Fires Walk in Tasmania for ‘Best Eco Wilderness Experience’ and Vibe Savoy Hotel in Melbourne for ‘Best Value Accommodation’. This is the fourth major award The Byron at Byron has received in 2009. The resort featured in the ‘Top 10’ in both the Best Australian Resort and Best Australian Spa categories in Luxury Travel and Style Magazine’s Gold List for 2009. The Resort has also just won Leading Hotel/Resort (International) in the Travel Digest industry awards. They were voted for by over 6,000 magazine readers. ‘Awards are great for staff morale,’ said The Byron at Byron’s general manager Lyn Parche. ‘We have undertaken four years of international market-

ing to entice the international traveller to Byron Bay and the Northern Rivers. The international award is recognition of the success of our international marketing campaigns and the dedication of our staff.’ While 40% of the resort’s business is repeat business, the majority of the remaining

60% are first time visitors to Byron Bay. ‘These people are only just now discovering what makes the region so special,’ said Ms Parche. ‘They usually spend a good deal of their visit discovering villages like Bangalow, Mullumbimby and Lennox Head.’

Talking to Ben Harper is always a little nervewracking. It’s impossible to be unaware of his celebrity, his infamous cool, those incredible arms, and his unstoppable talent that is unmarred by commercialism or the whims of record company marketing demands. Mr Harper is a true artist. He has just finished recording his soon to be released album White Lies for Dark Times. So I can’t talk about that, because it’s not released. Last time I interviewed him we talked about his last album, Both Sides of The Gun, probably the album I play the most. Ben Harper creates unpredictable music. He doesn’t contrive it. He just goes with what is happening at the time. He is a man in the moment. 4P IPX EP ZPV NBJOUBJO UIF DSFBUJWF øPX BOE UIF JOUFOTJUZ JO UIF TUVEJP ‘There are times and places when you have to retreat, or if not retreat, then severley redirect your trajectory.

The Name Game If you want to drive a pregnant woman mad, ask her what she’s going to call her unborn child. It’s like torture. Just last week I googled 5,000 names for girls (yes I am the maker of women, difficult ones of course!) and I only liked about three. Then I ran them by my partner and we were back to about none. I am not into unusual names that sound like they were made up after a few cones. I like names that sound like names. I like them to be a little old fashioned but not overly common. No offence to the Crystal Moonbeam Sunshines of this world: I pay respect to their hippy heritage, but have no need to inflict such freerange cruelty on my kid. Although I suspect being named Tony is far more bizarre in a North Coast classroom. I don’t need a trendy original name. Having me as a mother will surely be punishment enough. I decided I liked Anais. Anais Nin is one of my favourite writers and such a free spirit. A name like Anais is almost a DOCS worthy offence. One moment of pregnant hormone charged fantasy could inflict with a lifetime of being called Anus on my unborn daughter. As a comedian, have to admit I am almost tempted. Anais Rose has a certain ring. A word of advice to other breeders currently gestating the next generation. When people request that you reveal the name that you have pondered and pained over for months on end, that treasured short-list of possible identities for the mysterious foetus within, do not cave. Withhold. Your friends will then perform a name audit: turns out my favourite name thus far, Evangeline, was the name of a girl one of my

friends knew who ended up a heroin addict and a hooker. Now there’s a role model. A career girl. I love Audrey. But my mother called her small white fluffy Paris Hilton-esque dog Audrey. Unless I ‘accidentally’ back over it in my seven seater people mover (which can be arranged by the way) that classic name is destined to be the moniker for a flea ridden pooch. My partner and I have tried trawling family names. There’s my dear grandmother, well into her nineties, a woman with a big heart and little tact (known to give you a bear hug and exclaim ‘shit you’re ugly’), the baby girl would be Ivy. Apart from the odd feeling of a new spirit wearing an old name, Ivy is also the alterego of a friend of mine who had a sex change and now moonlights as a Gold Coast call girl. My partner’s grandmother’s name was suggested next. Bertha. Hmm, not bad. I have a teenage daughter, I know the worry ahead of me. A name like that would be like cosmic contraception. The most important factor in selecting a name is: can you yell it out from the back step? It’s the best way to test run a name that you will be shouting for almost two decades. Even the most beautiful names don’t make this test. ‘Aurora’ is a classic example. Try shouting it. Sounds like a labrador eating a sausage. The only problem with this method is names like ‘shithead’ come out on top. Then it happened. Last night, when I was sleeping. The name floated into the room like a feather and landed on my pillow. I know who my baby girl is. I have the perfect name… well I’m not telling you, you’ll just have to wait!

Soul’d at The Courthouse The music returns to Mullumbimby with the opening of The Courthouse, the reinvented, reinvigorated and recently renovated Chinny Tavern. With the original name restored the venue now has a mandate to provide live music and entertainment on a weekly basis. Kicking off the celebration is the first of free gigs with the fabulous 12-piece swinging soul band: Soul’d. This band is Northern Rivers biggest band and includes a five piece horn section, three vocalists and the rhythm section to die for! Soul’d performs the classics from the Legendary Soul, Motown, Rock, Funk, R & B Artists heard on the Atlantic, Stax, Motown and Savoy labels of the late 50s, 60s and 70s. Soul’d reproduces the well-known and well loved tunes of an outstanding era in music and uses arrangements transcribed and arranged from the original recordings. 8pm on Friday and it’s FREE!

Rogue State Release Album Rogue State are launching their first CD Moondust and Mayhem on Thursday at the Winsome Hotel in Lismore. The dudes are offering free entry, prizes and cheap CDs to celebrate the launch of the Rogue’s CD. The new CD takes the listener on a journey from pumping rock sleaze in Stalkin the Street to surf rock in Thistles and Thorns through to acoustic guitar rock in Care, Karma, Feelings and the title track Moondust that features a haunting Middle Eastern feel

and is probably the most radio friendly track. Andy Bambach fronts the Rogues with a highly charged energetic performance of political songs about the human condition, backed by the dreadlocked Jamie Williams laying out some juicy lead guitar licks over a solid pumping rhythm section featuring Gera Davidson on Bass and the ever powerful Blake Gormley drumming up a storm. Gig kicks off at 8pm.

Witness Great Music After recently relocating to Melbourne at the start of 2009, The Witness return to Byron for two shows this weekend. They play the Rails on Saturday at 6.30pm and the Beach Hotel on Sunday at 4.30pm. Over the last six months The Witness has established themselves as a force on the Melbourne soul-scene. The band played a series of well received gigs down south in December, and were proud to bring their solid North-Coast roots to the city. Away from the stage the band are in the studio working on the release of their forthcoming single. The band has been recording at SAE studios Byron and are reportedly very happy with the recordings thus far. The sound of the band continues to grow into a field of souldub fruits that remains very much their own. The Witness has been able to use the high rotation of band members to

their advantage by allowing the group to evolve into what is now a genuine collective. On the weekend the band will feature one of the groups original bass players Thierry Fossmalle, Zac Tombs on keys and the newly unified vocal duo of Carla Versitano and Sonia Leeson up-front.

Just can’t Waif The Waifs are currently on tour launching their latest album Live From The Union Of Soul, a collection of songs recorded on the road during last year’s memorable and historic Australian Union Of Soul tour and featuring guest appearances from John Butler and Clare Bowditch.

BROADFOOT LENNOX HOTEL saturday

Within a few years of performing her first standup routine at the Byron Bowlo back in 2005, Hannah Gadsby has found herself gracing stages in Edinburgh and Montreal, soon to appear at the Kilkenny Festival and is about to launch her show at the Melbourne Comedy Festival, produced by one of her biggest fans, Adam Hills. It’s a massive success story for a girl who by her own admission is lazy, not ambitious and totally accident prone. Just yesterday she got hit by a car. Again. It’s the fifth time. ‘I just got gravel rash,’ she laughs ‘although the doctor said, show us the elbow, it’s badly swollen. Then he said, show me the other one, oh it’s not swollen. So it turns out I have fat elbows.’ So what makes Hannah so infectious, why has the industry fallen in love with her laid back chat and her quietly deprecating manner? ‘I think it’s the care factor, my care factor is minimal. I don’t come from a performing background and I am quite shy in 1:1 situations, but am good with an audience. Basically I am a bit of a dickhead and I think the audience respects that. ‘I like making up little theories around my experiences‌’ Hannah uses her life experiences to inform her onstage material. As an accident prone, ambitionless girl who happens to be a lesbian with some pretty full-on mother issues, she’s a breath of fresh air. When asked who or what has shaped her life the most, Hannah doesn’t miss a beat. ‘My mother. She was such a massive person in my life, still is. I was frightened of my mum – she was a complete crank, she is hilarious though but I was terrified of her because she was so mean‌ it was a loving but fierce relationship.’ So how did Mrs Gadsby take the news that her daughter was a lesbian?

‘She didn’t take it very well, actually. I think I was 24 or 25, I phoned her up, I didn’t want to do it face to face. She said, why are you telling me this? I don’t want to know. How would you feel if I told you I was a murderer? Or a robber! That was the beautiful thing, it wasn’t the murderer thing that got me, it was that she tried to think of what was worse than a murderer and came up with robber!’ This year Hannah’s show at The Big Joke Festival will feature excerpts from the show Adam Hill is helping her produce: ‘Kiss me quick I’m full of jubes’. A curious title. Hannah reveals the mystery. ‘It’s what my mother says when she thinks someone is gay. The show is about mum, it’s really a mother daughter relationship thing! Next year I am doing a show about my medical history.’ Surprisingly

that will also contain her mother. ‘I am really accident prone and my mum has a pathological fear of doctors. So she would not take me to hospital. She’d say, oh she’s just got a stomach ache – and then it turns out I had gall stones. Her mum was a hypochondriac so she doesn’t believe you‌ I am suffering because my grandma cried wolf!’ Hannah Gadsby is the MC for the Village Idiot final at the Big Joke Comedy Festival on Sunday March 29 at 3pm. She also appears at Cracked Eggs, the comedy breakfast that same morning on a bill with some of the best women comics in the country. All events at the Bangalow A&I Hall. Tickets to both these events are available at The Urban in Bangalow, phone 6687 2678.

tuesday february 17 Bustin Out During the winter of 1975 in Hawaii, surfing was shaken to its core. A group of young surfers from Australia and South Africa sacrificed everything and put it all on the line to create a sport, a culture, and an industry that is today worth billions of dollars and has captured the imagination of the world. With a radical new approach and a brash colonial attitude, these surfers crashed headlong into a culture that was not ready for revolution.

.KGROTM 3UJGROZOK Y the alphabet of Reiki

- A subtle healing modality felt mostly in the hip pocket. Reiki has its origins in Japan, with Rei meaning ‘God’s wisdom or higher power’ and Ki meaning ‘life force energy’. Especially useful for relaxation and emotional balancing, a treatment will result in a warm glow and sensation of well being – at least until your wallet comes out.

Recalcitrance

- Sometimes a little bit of naughtiness is just what the doctor ordered. Best taken in moderation in the company of an experienced practitioner.

WHILE THIS WEEK’S DRAMATIC FULL MOON AND LUNAR ECLIPSE SUGGEST TEMPERAMENTAL INTERACTIONS, HEALING CHIRON PROVIDES HELPFUL ASPECTS TO MOVE THROUGH THEM. AND BEING UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF CONTRADICTORY AQUARIUS, FRIDAY 13TH STARS ARE UNEXPECTEDLY HARMONIOUS… ARIES: Present energies bring a fabulous chance to heal an old pattern that’s been operating for most of your life. To realize how different things are now that you’re the one in charge of your feelings – to forgive the past, drop the burden and move forward free at last.

the heart’s demands and demonstrating your true worth. VIRGO: Restraining sharp remarks and critical observations mightn’t be all that easy this week, but with others so touchy and easily offended it’s worth it. If someone’s unkind, remember that says more about them than you. On the brighter side, finances look like taking a promising upswing… LIBRA: This week’s Aquarian variations could make life seem like it’s extravagantly unravelling, but take it as just another challenge to your balance. During late week Libra moon, new people have a big impact on your thinking, but you’ll still need second opinions and objective reality checks. SCORPIO: If this week stimulates shakeups or clashes of wills, be advised that they’re also accompanied by a huge creative surge – using these situations and this beneficial energy to alter your mindset could actually activate a life changing breakthrough in your habitual thinking. SAGITTARIUS: This week’s fiery full moon could evoke intense emotions – yours or other peoples’. If exchanges

get heated, be easy on yourself and then you’ll be easier with others. Whatever’s looking shaky will right itself by the end of the week if you’re patient and respectful. CAPRICORN: Capricorns thrive on order, but the agents of change are giving you a makeover this week whether you want one or not. As the structure-loving part of your nature gets a jack-hammering, going with it is your best option – because it’s your only one. AQUARIUS: This week brings challenges to peace and invitations to argument, along with strong support for healing hurts and differences. Take advantage of them to negotiate a truce where it’s needed – with your knack for negotiation and invention you could come up with something wonderful. PISCES: This week’s astral waters are hot, so you might want to find somewhere cool to take care of business and do some creative thinking with minimum outside interference. The heat’s off by Friday the 13th, which (surprise!) could be the week’s most tranquil and fortunate day.

STARS

TAURUS: If the full moon sparks flare ups in your domestic sector, be the voice of reason even if others are unreasonable. Channel as much tolerance as you can, and if you can’t find common ground agree to disagree – by the end of the week tempers will settle. GEMINI: With the future rushing towards the present so quickly, it’s worthwhile overlooking cranky attitudes or remarks this week and choosing your own words carefully. Ask yourself how much are your own judgments and expectations contributing to the situation. You might be surprised. CANCER: With present circumstances offering the odd challenge, relaxed rather than reactive is your best operating mode. That said, this is a brilliant week for dealing honestly with financial fears or subconscious sabotage programs that may have been holding you back from economic equanimity. LEO: Leos, as we well know, don’t like being eclipsed by anything, even a planet, and Leo full moon’s no exception. But forget regal egospeak or royal decrees – Leo rules the heart and this week’s for obeying

Changeling Besides death and taxes, all you can be certain of in this world is that, somewhere on the covers of those tizzy rags that clutter the supermarket checkout, you’ll daily see the latest snaps of luscious-lipped Angelina Jolie, accompanied by breathless headlines about her life – a life that is infinitely more fantabulous than your paltry existence. (Quick, buy it!) She’ll either have had a tiff with Brad or put on weight, be sharing the pain of an emaciated Sudanese peasant or struggling to decide which of Prada’s bambini outfits best suit the twins’ unique auras. As a celebrity, her omnipresence has begun to severely nobble her effectiveness as an actress. Changeling is an outstanding film, but it could have been even

better with a less identifiable woman as the protagonist – you might as well have had Warnie play one of the detectives. It is Los Angeles, 1927, and Christine Collins (Ange) is a hard working, single mother whose little boy Walter has disappeared. Anxious for some good press after years of scandal, the LAPD finds a boy whom they insist is Walter. Christine knows he is not and takes on the City’s administration to vindicate herself and get the search for the real Walter resumed. The first half of the movie, in which Christine is psychologically brutalised by unscrupulous opponents, is an engrossing but hardly remarkable David and Goliath story, serving to remind us (for it is all based on actual events) that power tends to corrupt those who hold it. Your sympathies are with Christine, your contempt is for officialdom and you have a vague idea of the eventual resolution. Enter the unexpected, horrific element that rams you into a different nightmare altogether. A brief but shocking scene of surreal violence (my unsqueamish companion looked

Yes Man This film stars Jim Carrey as a lovelorn loan officer at a fictitious California savings institution. Divorced from wife for three years, Carl studiously avoids social interaction, preferring to stay locked in his apartment. All this changes when Carl goes to a self-help seminar that expounds the power of saying ‘Yes’. In short order Carl takes up the guitar, learns to pilot a plane, studies Korean and even takes the Asian mail-order bride offered to him by a pop-up ad on the internet. This film finds

an agreeable balance between Carrey’s manic performances in Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, Dumb And Dumber and his more substantial roles like The Truman Show and Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind. Carrey has dialled back the lunacy and rendered his character as perhaps the most ‘normal’ he’s ever played. Carrey’s admirable restraint in this film gives the supporting cast the chance to shine in a way his co-stars seldom have. This is the most even-keeled, pleasant and mainstream movie Jim Carrey has made. ~ Lounge Cinema

women, in separate quarters, are sedately nibbling their vegies and drinking milk. The image is not subtle but its veracity is unlikely to be questioned. The drama begins when Father Flynn (Philip Seymour Hoffman) calls Dennis, the school’s only black student, into his office. For what purpose the boy was summoned we can never be certain, but the unspoken sub-text emerges that Dennis is probably gay and is being beaten at home by his father. Sister James (Amy Adams) notes afterwards that there is alcohol on the boy’s breath, so she cautiously brings to the attention of Sister Aloysius (Meryl Streep) the ‘interest’ that Flynn has taken in Dennis. The older woman assumes the worst. A stern traditionalist who Doubt cannot even abide the advent of ‘Give me the boy, I’ll show you ballpoint pens in the school, she the man.’ The Jesuits’ boast has instinctively loathes the more become a hollow one in recent progressive Flynn – and his long times, what with the torrent of fingernails – and makes it her testimony from psychologically scarred men who, as adolescents, mission to have him gone. The antagonists’ moral certainties were buggered by the very ensure that only one of them priests into whose hands their welfare had been entrusted. will survive the spiteful conflict. This is set in 1964, the year after Director John Patrick Shanley the assassination of the idolised (who wrote the play), by boldly Catholic President Kennedy arguing against the knee-jerk (‘with Franklin D Roosevelt, hysteria with which so many America’s greatest’, Sister James of us delight in condemning tells her class), and long before the sins of the cloth, leads the the outrages committed in the audience to share Sister James’s Boston diocese came to light.

away) and a later unsettling walk to the gallows (unsettling for its ambivalence– is it Hang ‘Em High or In Cold Blood?) are far more than you bargain for. Excepting Jolie (nominated for an Oscar), the casting is perfect – from good cop to bad cop, from John Malkovich’s tenacious priest to the blonde Nurse Ratchett type who does the electric shock treatment at the mental asylum. Clint Eastwood’s direction is precise and without flourish and, as a moralist, he is unafraid to deal with the unfashionable concept of responsibility. He plays his hand for maximum impact, never giving anything away until exactly the right moment and, as he always manages to do, he finds an emotional ace at the end. ~ John Campbell

REVIEWS

I must confess to having doubts when first presented with this cookbook. Subtitled ‘Grill Your Way ‘Round The World’, it is a celebration of the barbecue as a culinary art form; it struck me as yet another excuse for yet another offering by a celebrity chef, an opportunity to milk his name for all it is worth by serving up a coffee-table book of recipes for food which barely required them. A barbecue, after all, is just that: cooking transposed to the outdoors, whose charm chiefly resides in that ‘roughing it’ element, fresh air to sharpen the appetite and fresh bread to wrap around the blackened snags. It became quickly apparent to me how wrong I was – and conversations with friends confirmed my ignorance. It seems that while I wasn’t looking, most people were investing or had invested in some form of outdoor cooking appliance and were happily conducting much of their entertaining around it – if not their regular family meals. Such is the sophistication these days of barbecues that many people are cooking on an apparatus outdoors which is highly superior to the one in their own kitchens. And as I worked my way through this book I realised what a versatile and exciting form of cooking the whole barbecue process indeed is. Personality tends to be the reason most talented chefs become celebrities, ending up with their own television programs, merchandise, in-store appearances and cookbooks. Certainly Ben O’Donoghue possesses it: this book positively rollicks along, fuelled by his cheerful, earthy, no-nonsense wisdom and experience. He explains to us the origin of barbecues – the word derives from ‘barabicu’ which stood for an indigenous West Indian form of pit-cooking using green pimento branches to impart flavour (although the great American food writer James Beard claimed that the term was ascribed to early Louisiana Creole cooks who spitted whole animals ‘from barbe a la queue – literally, from whiskers to tail’, a delightful albeit fictitious explanation).

Cooking outdoors over fire has been practised throughout history in just about every part of the world, evolving eventually into the form as we know it today, with all its ‘global idiosyncrasies’. It is the latter which Ben proceeds to exemplify with a vast repertoire of superb recipes whose very reading had me mentally laybying a Weber! They begin with a chapter on sauces and rubs, move on to breads (a concept I had not considered) then vegetables, earning the endearment, I am convinced, of any wary vegetarian, settling into the expected protein (fish, seafood, poultry and meats) and winding up with, who would have thought it, desserts. My initial scepticism soon gave way to grudging admiration, finally collapsing into blatant enjoyment. Ben’s Cheesey Garlic Bread is a recipe for that exceedingly old-fashioned (1970’s) fashion: breadstick sliced and anointed slice by slice with a mixture of chopped garlic and butter, except that his goes some luscious steps further by mashing chopped mozzarella and taleggio into the mixture and sprinkling paprika over the top. Baked Sweet Potatoes with Speck, Cloves and Maple Syrup anyone? Kiwi Barbecued Trout with Figs? Pork Loin with Bay and Balsamic? What can’t you do on a barbecue?– and everything imbued, most importantly, with that glorious smokiness, that lovely charred taste adding layers of flavour. What ultimately won me over was the entry for ‘Ben’s Childhood Fish’ - two ingredients required only, namely one whole gutted fish and fresh seaweed. Ben describes it as ‘not so much a recipe as a memory’. Ben O’Donoghue is conducting three cooking workshops at the Araucaria Cooking Academy in Ewingsdale on February 20, 21 and 22 – Friday and Saturday are booked out but several places remain on Sunday 22, when Delicious magazine will be filming.

It’s a double dip of fun at Mullumbimby pool

Fourteen year old Mercedes Mathison had fun making her way across the new pool ‘toy’ on Sunday morning in Mullumbimby. Photo Tree Faerie.

If you have driven past the Mullum Pool this summer, you may be forgiven for thinking that the aliens have landed with the introduction of the ‘Double Dipper’ pool inflatable.

The inflatable assault course is 17 metres long and 1.8m wide big bouncy water toy with lots of obstacles, some of them quite difficult to navigate. The Dipper which is similar

Kirkland back at the helm with Lennox Sharks The Lennox Head Football Club has announced the resignation of Paul Kirkland as Premier League Coach for the 2009 FFNC season. Kirkland, who last year led the young club to their maiden premier league grand final appearance, had initially decided to stand down from coaching to concentrate on playing in 2009. However with the club unable to secure a suitable replacement following the last minute withdrawal of their newly appointed coach, the former Golden Boot winner has decided to return for his 2nd year as a premier league player-coach. With many of the 2008 playing group having retired, left the area, or moved on to other clubs, this season looks to be the most challenging of the clubs 4 seasons in the top league.

‘This year will be a rebuilding year for the top squad,’ said Kirkland on the weekend. ‘However, our sights will be firmly set on consolidating our position as a leading premier league club. We will be looking to develop a competitive blend of younger players coming through, mixed with a core group of loyal, experienced players.’ With the loss of many experienced players, Kirkland is aiming to build an enthusiastic and competitive side around the likes of fellow key players such as Andrew Lundie and Mike Raeburn, who has returned following a year off. The Sharks pre-season training is now well underway, and all new or existing players are invited to attend. Training sessions are held on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6pm at the clubs Skennars Heads fields.

The Dipper was run everyday throughout school holidays and will continue to run from 11am to 2pm on Saturdays and Sundays and on Friday nights from 7 to 10 pm and will operate until the end of the next school holidays when the pool closes for the season. The Dipper has also created a new competitive sport at the pool with time trials running during each daily session for both boys and girls in the age groups 8 and under, 10 and under, 11 and over and a special category for the ‘bigger’ kid which encapsulates that very important age category of parents. At the end of summer there will be a Pool inflatable time trial Olympics night with prizes including boogie boards, mask and fin sets and heaps of other goodies. The championships will be on Friday March 6 when the pool will be open from 6pm onwards with time trial events beginning at 8pm.

Aikido beginners course in Byron The central mystery of Aikido is that total calmness can be far more effective than meeting force with force. Many martial arts seek to block a strike and respond with an equivalent strike. Aikido seeks the opposite. The idea is to stay calm and flow with the energy of the situation. The training helps you find a calm centre and from this point to blend with an attack. Come and try Aikido at one of Australia’s few purpose built dojos at Temple Byron, Melaleuca Drive, Byron Bay. A beginners course will be held on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from February 17. For details phone Jim Nicholls on 6628 3158. N Dunn, A Booth v S Truesdale.

A new start for Byron Bay junior rugby As with many clubs and teams in the area, the year’s sporting season is about to begin and the Byron Bay Rugby Union Club is ready to roll and will field junior teams for the first time in close to a decade. The Bay is looking to field two teams in the Under 12 and Under 14 Far North Coast competitions. ‘The jerseys have already been sponsored and we’re hoping to buy a minibus in the next few weeks,’ said club President and Senior Coach Warren Fisher. ‘With the continued success of the Byron Sevens were in a position to offer kids the chance to play rugby for a third of the cost of other junior teams. ‘The response from people wanting to help has been overwhelming.’ The teams will be coached by Paul Connell, Kev Maher

and David Stevens. A meeting of parents and other interested parties will be held at the Recreation Fields on Wednesday February 18 at 5pm. The senior team starts training this Wednesday in preparation for a revamped eightteam village competition. The return of Woolgoolga and the appearance of Mullumbimby and Yamba will add new spice to old rivalries. ‘It’s the best feeling we’ve had in the club in a long, long time. All our players are back from last year so we have a realistic chance of achieving something,’ said coach Fisher. ‘The Village competition is twice as strong so I guess that means we now have to work three times as hard.’ For more information please contact Byron Rugby’s Junior Development Officer Paul Connell on 6685 8442.

Owen Wright wins the juniors again Lennox Head’s Owen Wright won the prestigious Oakley Pro Junior which ran in excellent waves at North Stradbroke Island in Queensland on Sunday. It was Wright’s second consecutive win on the Australasian ASP Pro Junior Circuit – he defeated talented Brazilian surfer Jadson Ande in a high scoring, see-sawing final with Wright’s mid final 9.5 outstanding ride proving decisive in taking the win.

Bustin’ to surf The Dendy Byron Bay Cinemas will hold a one-off screening on February 15 of a new film about the history of surfing called ‘Bustin’ Down The Door’ a film that chronicles a tumultuous two-year period of competitive and cultural clashes in surfing’s Mecca –Hawaii’s North Shore of Oahu. Framed around the emerging careers of World Champions-to-be Wayne “Rabbit” Bartholomew, Shaun Tomson and Mark Richards, Bustin’ documents how these young men risked everything to become the best surfers in the world, and how their courage and vision began a cultural revolution that led to the birth of professional surfing and ultimately what has become today’s billion-dollar surf industry. The film is narrated by Edward Norton.

Backlash NSW premier Nathan Rees’s comment that The Nationals have ‘shifted from being a genuine party that represents the interests of farmers and rural workers to an outfit that represents spivs along the coastline of NSW’ has generated a bit of outrage. One definition of a spiv is ‘a particular kind of petty criminal, who deals in stolen goods or fraudulent sales’. It’s not a bad description of some of the cads and urgers you get around around here but hardly representative of the whole coast. Rees doesn’t care about the fallout anyway, as he knows he doesn’t have a hope of winning back the state seats of Ballina, Lismore and Tweed – assuming he’s still the premier by the next state election.

Direct from the growers, it doesn’t come any fresher than this

We applaud Obama sticking a $US500,000 cap on pay for executives of finance firms who are asking for taxpayer-funded bailouts. There are plenty of people in this region who could get by for 20 years on that kind of money. ■ ■ ■ ■
