Kites slip the surly bonds of earth

Acting director for BYS Di Mahoney, a long time community worker, has been selected to the position of acting director of Byron Youth Service following the recent departure of Paul Spooner, who has accepted the job of executive officer at the Byron Bay Community & Cultural Centre. Di has worked for BYS for the past three years, encouraging young people to get enterprising through community projects, self-employment and small business. ‘I am really looking forward to working with key partners in our community to support young people in Byron Bay and other parts of the Shire,’ said Di. ‘I’ll be working with the BYS management committee

Intermittent torrential downpours had little if any effect on the six and a half thousand people who packed Brunswick Heads to the rafters and beyond for the town’s Kites and Bikes Festival on the weekend. The event was a spectacular success with activities for everyone starting on Saturday and continuing on until late Sunday afternoon. For the first time ever the festival had a bike decorating workshop on Saturday to help creatively challenged folk to get into the spirit of the event. Families had a wonderful time with stickers, material scraps and all man-

ner of cycle and recycled adornment flying in every direction. The two highlights of the Sunday program were the bike parade through town in the morning and the much touted world kite flying attempt in the afternoon. The NSW record of 368 fell by the wayside as the number of kites in the air rose (pardon the pun) to 811. Organisers said that there were 1,200 kites registered by Sunday morning and another few hundred late arrivals added their paper and string to the airborne Kaleidoscope that swarmed above the sands of Brunswick Heads beach. With about 20 zones of fifty flyers

each, the logistics of getting all the kites in the air at the same time was certainly a challenge. The Australian record of 1127 was

not officially broken but record attempt organisers reckon we came pretty close, wink, wink. Game on for 2010.

Developer fined $25,000 In the Lismore local court last week, a developer pleaded guilty for the removal of trees without development consent at a site on the corner of Shara Boulevarde and the old Pacific Highway. The removal of trees was carried out between November 2005 to March 2006 and the developer was fined $25,000. The defendant had approval to

clear 8,000m2 of vegetation however cleared 16,000m2. Byron Shire Council compliance officer Andrew Hill said, ‘During the course of sentencing proceedings the magistrate indicated that developers need to take responsibility by checking with Council prior to the removal of any trees and ensure that they remove only what is approved within the development consent.’

The Byron Shire Symposium on April 5 will mark the launch of the Will of the People Project, ‘an unprecedented initiative in genuine democratic process’, according to organisers. ‘This is an open invitation to the community of Byron Shire to engage in processes whereby we may create and project a collective voice on issues of local, regional, national or global concern. ‘The Will of the People Project not only provides a hub for all who share a concern for the preservation and enhancement of our quality of life, but it also provides a transparent, participatory way to collectively chart our course forward through these challenging times. To ensure that the entire community is aware of the Project, an introductory newsletter will soon be sent to every shire resident. ‘Central to the Will of the People Project are the Byron Shire Symposiums. ‘The Symposiums will be ongoing through to December 2009 and will have two venues. These are the Byron Community and Cultural Centre from 11am to 3pm and the Mullumbimby Civic Memorial Hall from 3pm to 7pm on each town’s respective Market Day. ‘As information-sharing and networking are important features of this Project, not-forprofit community groups are welcome to set up information displays, free of charge, by contacting Kate Kirkwood by phone 6684 1099 or 0411 345 834 or email contact-us@livingtogethernetwork.net. ‘For more details and to find out how you, your family and friends can get involved in this new dynamic initiative, please contact Ricardo Johansson at ricardojohansson@post.com or 0417 489 293.’

Jan Mangleson woman of year Member for Ballina Don Page last week presented Jan Mangleson with the Ballina Electorate Woman Of The Year 2009 Award. ‘Jan has given tireless service in a wide range of roles to our community over many years,’ Mr Page said. ‘She has done this and also raised a family. ‘Jan’s work in the local community has been widely credited with promoting health and community issues in the non-Aboriginal and Aboriginal community,� he said. Mrs Mangleson’s list of achievements include founding the Nursing Mothers Association (North Coast) in the 1970s; establishing an Aboriginal health program encouraging breastfeeding among Aboriginal communities in northern NSW; Chair of the Brunswick-Byron Area Health Service for nine years; President of the Australian Lacta-

tion Consultants Association for three years and Byron Shire Councillor for nine years. ‘When you look at the incredible list of Jan’s achievements, it is even more remarkable when you know that she is the mother of eight children

and grandmother to 19 grandchildren,’ Mr Page said. ‘Jan has given so much of herself to community service while juggling the demands of a large family. She is indeed an inspiration and a very worthy recipient of this years Award.’

Byron United slams holiday letting model Business lobby group Byron United issued a press release saying it does not support the proposed control of holiday letting in Byron Shire through the complying development approval process outlined by Council. ‘Byron United does not support the areas identified as proposed holiday letting localities as exhibited by Council. Byron United supports regulation with a stringent code of conduct for the accommodation industry to ensure the amenity of the entire community. ‘Byron United does not believe these planning controls will deliver any solution to concerns raised by the community. Byron United has significant concerns about the negative economic and social 2 March 24, 2009 The Byron Shire Echo

flow-on effects that would be a consequence of the Council’s current proposal. ‘Byron United requests that Council undertake an Economic and Social Impact Study to determine the effect of tourism on business and the wider community. Without this data

informed decisions cannot be made. Please note that Byron United is commissioning a preliminary Tourism Economic and Social Impact Study and requests that Council extends this study further, as should have occurred prior to the preparation of the draft LEP

and the Tourism Management Plan by Southern Cross University. ‘There needs to be comprehensive consultation with the community, business groups, and accommodation industry and tourism bodies to develop effective policies.’

Bangalow toilets get a brush-up Bangalow’s Railway Park public toilets will be temporarily closed for a period of three weeks from March 23. At an estimated cost of $30,000 the toilets will be upgraded with new urinals, stainless steel toilet bowls, floor, hand rails and painted inside and out. ‘The upgrade is part of a shirewide $250,000 public

amenities upgrade program,’ said Byron Shire Council’s Director of Governance and Community Services, Mark Arnold. ‘Vandalism is an ongoing occurrence in toilet blocks throughout the shire and we urge the community to report any incidents to Council on 6626 7320.’ Temporary toilets will be

provided on site during this period. Other public toilets are available at the Bangalow pool park and Bangalow sports ground. Upgrading of the Bangalow Pool toilets is expected to start early May. Council said it apologises for any inconvenience to the public. www.echo.net.au

Kids poke fun at Big Joke festival

Local Solar Power Offer $8000 solar power rebate ending 1st July 09

Story & photo Lou Beaumont

This year’s Big Joke Bangalow Comedy Festival will run from Thursday March 26 to Sunday 29 featuring headliners Tim Minchin (already sold out), Arj Barker (US), Nina Conti (UK), Kitty Flanagan and Dave Williams. It’s funny business as usual for Mandy Nolan who despite being heavily pregnant will be festival MC and director. Funny Kids, coached by Nolan, will be a highlight of the festival schedule. Mandy told The Echo, ‘A lot of comedic material is targeted at kids by adults, but Funny Kids is great, it feels more appropriate for kids to talk to kids, after all, that is what comedy is, connecting people through the issues that pertain to you. The kids can be cynical and critical in their way and poke fun at adults. ‘It has been interesting coaching the kids this year as the group is such a diverse one. The youngest is eight and the eldest is 17 so it has been challenging for everyone in a

Rotary riders push on for charity despite flat tyres Victoria Cosford

Undeterred by winds and rain, 28 cyclists and support staff congregated outside the On-Q offices in Jonson Street, Byron Bay, the other week, for a brief pause in their annual fourday ride from Tweed Heads to Grafton. Organised by Murwillumbah Central Rotary Club, this is the third year in which participants from Brisbane to Lismore have undergone the fun cycle in order to raise funds for ROMAC (Rotary Oceanic Medicinal Aid For Children) and ‘Make A Wish’ Foundation. ROMAC helps children in developing countries who have become disfigured through accidents or illness, bringing them to Australia and providing them with surgeries not available in their own coun-

On-Q is one of the sponsors this year and along with many Rotary clubs, provided refreshments over the four-day event. George claims that usually on these rides you can expect

The Madhima Gulgan Community Association was established to create sustainable local indigenous employment, and together with BVL and Rainforest Rescue they worked to bring about a day with a focus on working together for reconciliation. Rainforest Rescue donated all 1,500 trees that were planted on the day, as well as five days of employment for the MGCA bush regen team who prepared the site for the mass planting. Thanks to the preparation of the site and a super speedy team of volunteers all 1,500 trees were planted within two hours. Photo Lou Beaumont.

Quota celebrates 90th birthday Story & photo Eve Jeffery

Quota International has reached the grand old age of 90 years and the local Brunswick Valley chapter celebrated on the weekend with a good old fashioned tea party and cake. Quota, which is an acronym for Quietly Utilising Our Total Ability, was founded in 1919 in Buffalo, New York. by Wanda Frey Joiner, a Russian immigrant. The organisation is currently active in 14 countries around the world including Singapore, Australia, The Netherlands, Philippines, and Fiji. Quota ladies come from all walks of life and find that the club is a wonderful way to lighten their daily lives through friendship and service to others. The Brunswick Valley group of Quota was chartered on September 20, 1960, with 23 members. The Brunswick Valley ladies have been staunch supporters of community projects for many years and have dona-

Filling their Quota, from left, Denise, Kerry, Sheila, Betty, Lynne, Colleen and Margaret who are the local Brunswick Valley chapter of Quota International, celebrated with tea party on Sunday.

ted time, money and effort to many good causes including the quiet room at Mullum hospital, the sun shade at Mullum pool, the SLSC, seats at Mullum and Brunswick and the list goes on. Quota also sponsors the Quota Science

Camp for Disabled Students and the Quota Deaf Camps for hearing impaired children. Quota is also a great supporter of Rainbow Dragons Abreast, a group which supports women and families who are dealing with breast cancer.

Seniors catch up with St Patrick

Unfortunately the local group is dwindling in number and with a current membership of only nine, they are looking for ladies who would like to join to help out with the charitable work and be part of something much bigger. Quota is not all work, work, work – the club gives women the opportunity to be very social in the process of helping others and they have a lot of fun. For more information about Quota visit www.quota.org and to find out about the Quota in the Brunswick Valley phone Colleen on 6680 1045.

Turn it off for Earth Hour ‘Turn it off,’ says Byron Shire Mayor, Jan Barham. In support of Earth Hour 2009, Byron Shire Council is urging everyone to join in by switching off their lights and other energy consuming devices between 8pm and 9pm on March 28. Council will be turning off the lights in the Mullumbimby administration building. This year WWF is aiming for over one billion people world wide to switch off their lights in support of Earth Hour 2009. To date over 74 countries and territories have pledged their support. ‘Reducing greenhouse emis-

sions is a shared responsibility and local residents can help make a difference,’ Mayor Barham said. ‘Council was one of the first non metropolitan councils to support Earth Hour, and this year many more have joined in. ‘Earth Hour is a great awareness raising campaign and encourages everyone to think about lifestyle issues in relation to energy use. So don’t stop at just one hour. Go beyond and look at how you can make ongoing changes by becoming conscious about energy use on a daily basis.’ Find out more at www.earthhour.org.

Last Tuesday over 80 local Senior Citizens joined together at Mullumbimby Ex Services Club to celebrate national Seniors Week. The event was organised by Accommodation Network, a disability service provider located at Ocean Shores, which successfully applied to the NSW Department of Aging, Disability and Home Care (DADHC) for funding to cover costs. Seniors from Lismore, Tweed, Ocean Shores and Mullumbimby joined in together for a free morning tea, trivia quiz and masked dance. As it was also St Patrick’s Day a lot of green and a little bit of Guinness were also part of the day. Photo Eve Jeffery.

New push to invigorate public art Opening on March 27 and running until April 25, the SML XL Sculpture Exhibition is a sculpture-only show at Waywood Gallery. Featuring half a dozen of the Shire’s best known sculptors and curated by Dev Lengjel of East Art Services Team and current curator of Swell at Currumbin, the exhibition is a trial for a show that is hoped will happen annually. Lengjel told The Echo, ‘Ultimately we want to push public art onto the agenda again and create more space for public art in the Shire.’

High chair recall NSW Fair Trading Minister Virginia Judge has warned parents about a voluntary recall of two products: Mother’s Choice Riviera high lo highchairs and the Peg Perego Skate combined pram and stroller. Ms Judge said around 2900 Riviera high lo highchairs have been supplied by IGC Dorel and distributed exclusively through Target stores nationally since January 2008. ‘These highchairs are being recalled following reports the plastic parts covering nuts and bolts have come loose and pose a choking hazard to small children,’ Ms Judge said. ‘The plastic caps are the size of a fivecent piece and easily inhaled or ingested by toddlers. Consumers can contact IGC Dorel to obtain replacement caps which cannot be removed on 1300 809 526 or customerservice@igcdorel.co.nz.

Try to envisage a world wherein every consumer activity becomes transformed into an act of giving – wherein every time you bought or sold something it contributed to a worthy cause. Sounds like Utopia? Paul Dunn, chairman and co-founder of an exciting new social enterprise called Buy1Give1 – or B1G1 – knows that it can become a reality because the work has already begun. Based in Singapore, B1G1 was established in Australia in 2007 and focuses on transaction-based giving world-wide, enabling businesses to choose and contribute to a worthy cause listed on its website.

So far Rudd has managed to convince the doubters that even if the world is being overwhelmed by the forces of financial devastation he is the best one to hold what is left of the line in Australia. But there is a long way to fall before we hit bottom and no guarantee of a swift bounce back up. The other warning from the north is that although many people thought the bad times would polarise the voters, they didn’t: far from being sidelined the Greens did rather well, although, as always, not nearly as well as they had predicted after studying the herbal tea leaves. If that happens federally, Rudd will have to do some difficult and prob-

riods when it has functioned quite usefully as a house of review. Legislation proposed by the government has been modified and often improved, which is as it should be. But the current senate is rejecting legislation out of hand. The coalition senators apparently see themselves as some sort of government in exile, with a mandate to cling to policies rejected by the electorate a year and a half ago. They are acting, in Paul Keating’s words, like unrepresentative swill. The Liberals, split between the Costeleological ideologues and the Turnbullshitter pragmatists are at least occasionally coherent in their various positions, but the Nationals, increasingly under the manic influence of Barnaby Joyce, are beyond the reach of reason. Which leaves the cranky crossbenchers as the government’s only real hope of getting its program implemented. It must be said that Greens are emerging as the most rational

group of all of them; they are prepared to deal and to confine themselves (so far at least) to the broad outlines of the legislation at hand. What is more, they want a result, not a stalemate, and are prepared to negotiate until one emerges. But the terrible two, Nick Xenophon and Steve Fielding, are both political outlaws in the worst tradition of Brian Harradine. Each has an obsessive agenda of his own and each is prepared to make absurd demands, often utterly unrelated to the bill being debated, as a condition of his support. And each, at different times, has shown an unwillingness to compromise that goes beyond mere pig-headedness; in Fielding’s case at least it seems positively psychotic. Neither can claim any kind of popular mandate; 99.9 percent of the population had never heard of them before they emerged, fully armed, in the senate last year as a result of preference deals, most of which were made in the mistaken belief that they would not lead to either being elected. Between them they represent three fifths of five eighths of very little indeed, yet they see themselves as dictators of national policy. It is true that they only gain power with the support of the coalition, but given the increasingly obstructive stance of Costbull and Turnyellow, they will have plenty of opportunities before the next election. Rudd’s choices: give in to blackmail and bad policy, abandon the government’s program, or call a costly, disruptive and unpopular early election. Have a nice trip, Prime Minister. You mightn’t get much of a welcome home.

Rapunzel has her heart ripped out Now that the hoardings have been removed, it saddens me when I see the Rapunzel Tower and think what could have been. It is the antithesis of what I designed. Instead of the fortress-like buildings, the tower was designed to mark the entrance of the Piazza, to welcome and invite the public in and through the buildings. Inside the piazza, there was to be shops, restaurants and outdoor dining; a modern sculpted fountain, a rotunda for music and a clock sun dial tower with a windvane, so that surfies in the square could know when the wind had changed. People could move through the square to the laneway, through Feros

Arcade, across Lawson Street through Lawson Arcade and hopefully end up out on the beach. My favourite villages are always colourful busy ones, with lots of small streets, laneways and arcades opening up to beautiful squares and small parks, always with lots of surprises. I wanted to show how you could make large complexes that were not intimidating cold fortresses, but places that would instead embrace the community. This was the atmosphere I was hoping to foster. I worked on the Great Northern project for almost eight years, but sadly have not

Noise pollution Noise pollution, or am I being uncharitable? I would like to invite the supporters of Woolies in Mullumbimby to spend a week at my place. I live near St Vincent’s in Brunswick Heads. I am awoken most mornings by metal gates being dragged across concrete (think nails on chalkboards in quadraphonic) and metal skip lids being clanged open and shut – at all hours. Even now, I must admit I am still unused to awaking in the early hours, one metre above my bed in fright, triggered by the shocking reverberation of noise that has been my alarm clock since St Vincent’s took up residence. St Vincent’s workers think that offloading a skip at 4am on a weekday and 6am on a Sunday is perfectly normal. Imagine what a 24 hours, 7 days a week Woolies will deem normal!

been involved since 2004. For the current developers to now claim it’s my building after the major changes they subsequently made to my design is to stretch the truth by an unacceptable margin. In the changes approved in 2007, the piazza, the heart of the project, was ripped out and replaced by a large supermarket with the open space banished. Everything about the complex has been bloated, the balconies reduced and the nice details have disappeared; even the fun street awning which danced around the buildings above street level and swirled around the Rapunzel Tower to invite people into the Piazza has been

FOI experience I’ve had a similar FOI experience with Council to that described by Fast Buck$ in his recent article. I wanted to know the details of a complaint lodged against me. I was given the FOI application form by Council staff in response to my enquiry. They knew what I wanted and why. I paid my FOI fee, and waited. Weeks later I received a letter saying it was being looked into. I went back to Council. There I was asked to pay a further fee, in order to see the document I thought I had already paid to receive a copy of. I refused to pay more. I insisted on knowing the nature of the complaint. I was then told the complaint was anonymous. I was given verbal information that it concerned onsite sewerage disposal. As I understood it, the $30 fee was for supply of a document. I neither saw nor received one, not even an action request form. I’m not sure what the justification for the initial fee was, let alone the further charge I was asked for. My money was accepted. It was paid in good faith. I had no cause to believe the document I sought might not be provided. I had been charged for a service I did not receive. I was unhappy about it, and I said so at the time. I was dealing with the FOI officer herself. She commented that it was all clearly outlined on the form what I would receive. When we looked at the form together, she acknowledged that it was not. But there was no refund. Max Purves

changed to a very mundane skillion roof. I would never design a stone tower which begins on the first floor plus I cannot see why the gay earth tone colour scheme was changed to these stark colours. Architects can play a significant role in designing the fabric of our towns and villages, but the opportunities are rare. Unfortunately, in the end it is usually the power of the development dollar which more often than not outweighs design considerations. Sadly, architecture is often a series of small gains from a myriad of lost opportunities.

Pest control I am pleased to see that something is being done to control the number of Indian myna birds in the area. I must admit to liking Indian mynas, they are chirpy, cheery sort of birds and I have had the opportunity of observing a nesting pair in their own territory – the Himalayas – and noting the enormous number of grubs it takes to raise a brood. They should have been very good at doing what they were introduced for, unfortunately no account was taken of their aggressiveness. The same could be said of cane toads. There is another introduced species which is also spreading at an alarming rate – the Indonesian gecko. They entered Australia as stowaways in the tiger and orangutan habitat cut down by Indonesia and sold in Australia as furniture. About four years ago I heard them in only one house at the end of my street, now they are up to the main road. Unfortunately I’ve also heard them in the trees and I believe they are

A government decision that Mullumbimby will regret I have been involved for more than a year in investigating whether a legal challenge could be made to the development consent for the Woolworths supermarket or to the Section 96 variations. The research has been interesting and frustrating and has brought me to the conclusion that a legal challenge will not stand. The frustrations relate to: t ćF TJ[F PG UIF QSPQPTFE supermarket (namely 2500 square metres) which cannot be justified in Mullumbimby for many years. t ćF TJUF JT MFTT UIBO JEFBM being opposite houses, occupying such a long frontage to a street and fronting onto a road that is too narrow. t "U UIF EFWFMPQNFOU DPOsent stage, residents thought that Mallams would manage the new supermarket and accepted this in terms of the em-

ployment that would be generated, the financial support that would be brought to community activities, the likelihood of local produce being sold and that the other food retailers in town could continue to be financially viable. The latter item will impact heavily on Mullumbimby if and when Woolworths comes to town. The opportunity for employment will reduce especially when Woolworths sets up its self-serve cash registers. Woolworths is likely to provide much less financial support to the community than Mallams did. Thus community activities will suffer. Woolworths has a policy to centralise. This will mean that local growers will have no opportunity to supply produce to the supermarket. Furthermore, through its pricing practices, Woolworths can make it very

difficult for other retailers selling consumables to justify remaining in business. Once they close, Woolworths will have a monopoly and can then raise prices. I have been advised that this has happened in Byron Bay and in other towns. Thus there will be a number of empty shops which will detract from the town. Woolworths can now proceed with the supermarket subject to obtaining a Section 68 Construction Approval from Council for sewage treatment on site and for improvements to the handling of stormwater drainage and flood flows on the site. At best, the project could be delayed until the new sewage treatment plant is built and at worst Woolworths could appeal to the Land and Environment Court should Council try to stop or delay the project. This is quite depressing

I hope that peer and community pressure is applied if residents witness and know these dangerous drivers. Tell them it is not acceptable. Finally I would like to add that if any locals who would like to see this mowing continue could let Council know that any more herbicide use is not acceptable and should never be considered as an option to manual labour in the future. Also maybe we could all start to take better care ourselves of the road frontage past our properties. Perhaps too we could learn who our neighbours are and develop cooperative approaches to learning and protecting our native flora and fauna.

for those that can predict the damage that Woolworths will do to our community, much of which is detailed above. All other developments in Mullumbimby that generate sewage have been put on hold until the new sewage treatment plant has been constructed. Why are not Woolworths being treated in the same way? What Woolworths proposes to do is to remove treated sewage by road tankers when the site becomes wet enough so that it cannot absorb the effluent. One can imagine that this will be quite frequent, particularly during the extremely wet weather that we are currently experiencing. If Woolworths does come to town, I hope that most residents will support the existing food outlets in town so that small retailers can have viable businesses and continue

to bring profits into the community, maintain employment levels and buy local produce. This may mean paying current prices rather than the short term savings offered by Woolworths. If we do not do this, we are likely to regret for ever the day that Woolworths came to town. Chris Abraham

Mullumbimby Creek Woolworths appears to be Australia’s biggest pokie winner. We all know Woolworths is all about cornering much of the Australian market in food, petrol and grog. Seems they also do very well from gambling. According to pokiewatch. org ‘The largest Australian operator of poker machines is Woolworths Limited / Safeway and its associated companies’.

That sounds good to me. What better place for humans to live, in a polycultural food forest surrounded by an abundance of renewable resources? Where a family home, with more and better facilities than a McMansion, not only doesn’t cost the earth to build, it doesn’t cost the earth to run. It pays you to be there and that’s a very shortterm return on investment. Environmentally beneficial living makes such good economic sense that our species has the potential for levels of prosperity unimaginable in this economy. I have a feeling that, in a society of universal prosperity, the notion of greed would be redefined. So would the notion of affordable housing. I think we have an opportunity, particularly in this time of economic downturn, to create the most attractive products for

‘the 20 most lucrative Victorian pokies venues ripped $926 million out of pokies players in the three years to 30 June, 2008, and Woolworths snaffled a staggering $736 million or 79.5%’. Crikey suggests our major newspapers’ reliance on this corporate giant’s advertising has something to do with few people knowing what Woolworths would rather be kept quiet. Guess we won’t see any ‘Woolworths – the Pokie People’ logos on any of their thousands of pokies in the pubs and clubs they own under the ALH banner across Australia. Seems Woolworths have more than enough money to put a few thousand dollars out to local kids’ groups after extracting multimillions from mums and dads. Garry Scott

Coorabell ■While I acknowledge the call by Jim Innes for a ‘Money Forum’ could not be more timely, a number of assertions in his letter require substantiation. The assertion that ‘full employment’ is not desirable is novel if not dubious. How is the life of the unemployed to be fulfilling and abundant? What is meant by the ‘essence of the problem’ is not economic, but rather financial? Is your reference to the ‘creation of money’ based on an assertion of the conspiracy of One World Government and what references do you offer to substantiate this? Who are these ‘proper owners of money’ you refer to?

Letters

Council planning and the case of the holiday letters ■ In response to Lester Brien (Letters, March 17), a quick check of the LEP (1988) will show that holiday or short term renting in residential zones is illegal and, as I read it, there is no ambiguity. Therefore the current proposal would mean a less restrictive zoning for those areas where it is suggested holiday letting will be allowed in future. Unfortunately, as Lester would know is often the case, there is conflicting legal advice, which is why I’ve said the practice should have been tested in court well before now and because Council hasn’t acted, the compromise proposal is probably the best we can hope for. I can’t have any sympathy for those who have short term rented their properties in flagrant disregard of the rules clearly set out in the LEP because of the suffering – yes, suffering – they have caused so

many residents who have the misfortune to live next door to one (or two) of the illegal rentals and I doubt these residents would be much moved by Rod Anderson’s call (Letters, March 17) for an economic impact study either. There was a time when some home owners rented their houses during holiday periods, usually Christmas, and no-one complained but we have entered a very different era with people buying in residential areas for the sole purpose of holiday letting and charging such high rents that the renters clearly feel entitled to make the most of their time with what can mean distressing results for the neighbours. Another group of residents equally unimpressed by the illegals are those who provide legal accommodation in residential areas, eg the owners of B&Bs who have jumped

Nevertheless, every one of the several cases that Council compliance staff managed to pursue with notices of orders resulted in the premises closing down. Council planning staff seemed to get frustrated with their councillor-directed inability to crack down on what staff knew was unlawful activity, so staff developed a pragmatic planning scenario and activity description so that they could ‘manage’ holiday letting by decriminalising it.

a neighbour also had his hose out. Another act of vandalism in the front of a house in the same street was the wrapping of the whole of the front garden, shrubs, plants, letterbox etc in toilet paper. This was commercial toilet paper as found in public toilets. It was so thoroughly wrapped it must have taken a long time. Did anyone see them? Perhaps the current Councillors might be more sympathetic to the sports grounds if they drive along some streets here and have children jump off the gutter at their cars (there were two girls doing this), ride their bikes at the cars (playing chicken), see the number of kids riding without proper helmets and lights and the number of them on the one bike. The worst I have seen were the kids actually riding down a hilly street at the cars passing along the bottom road, causing the drivers to brake or swerve. Having said all the above things, I am in full sympathy with the parents who both work and cannot always supervise the children, and most of the kids living here are decent, law abiding kids with nowhere to get rid of their exuberance.

Byron Shire is a sought-after place because it is so unique, and because the majority of people that live here are distinctive. Most of the young people who grow up here go off into the world with motivation and purpose. Because why not fulfil one’s full potential? Once school is finished, I and various friends I know will be leaving this area to go to university in the cities. But I am sure the essence of this area will remain in our souls, and call us back when the time is right. Youth are very often misunderstood, but a simple generational difference can be overcome if we concur and connect. If any adults reading this are the kind that look down upon ‘lesser’ youth, then I ask you to realise that we are the ones inheriting the problems of ecological crises, and that many of us are actually capable of pointing the world in the right direction. So if you come across a young person that acts with motivational purpose, then please respect and help us. Thank you.

Israel condemned Israel’s illegal demolition of Palestinian homes, horrendous though that is, has a further evil and malicious twist. If Palestinians demolish their own homes they are only billed for army/police costs in the event of a protest. If they refuse to demolish their homes the Israeli Defence Force does it and then charges them the full costs. The Nazis were famous for making victims dig their own graves but not even they appear to have thought of this barbarity. Gareth Smith

Nothing for kids I read with interest the letter from Tina Petroff in the March 17 edition. I have none of the informaton she has so I cannot comment on it but I am a senior, resident of 15 years in Ocean Shores, a grandmother, and am concerned at the lack of any facilities here. Perhaps if we had some decent grounds for the youth of the district to let off their steam, play ball, ride bikes etc we would not have the vandalism we now exprience. Perhaps a skateboard park? The open land of the golf course must be a real temptation as there are often destructive acts committed, and if the perpetrators are caught it seems that nothing can be done. Only last week a fire was lit on a vacant block of land in Balemo Drive, between two houses. Is this arson to be taken further or just kids having fun? Were the arsonists in Victoria just having fun?

And it fails to address the continuing widespread illegal use outside of these proposed areas. Council can, and needs to, protect residents existing use rights. There are no existing use rights for illegal holiday let uses. Breaches of planning law and DAs are criminal acts. And the shire’s wonderful economic benefits from tourism has resulted in one of the highest unemployment rates, lowest take-home pay and lowest household incomes in the state. And Byron Bay has achieved the status as the most unaffordable residential rental town in NSW. Councillors and residents, stay firm, we have nothing to lose except for exploitation, poverty and rental stress. John Lazarus

Compliance regime brings down the house Fast Buck$

Anyone in doubt that Council’s compliance and FOI regimes are out of control in relation to unauthorised development might want to study the following cases. Howard Furner of Goonengerry faces the threat of demolition and a $1.1 million fine over an unapproved house and shed plus an accommodation unit. He has lived at his 70 acre property for 30 years, says he has never used toxic chemicals, has planted 3,000 native trees and has used only recy8284BSE

cled building materials in his construction. He is a qualified carpenter, apart from which he is probably a typical ageing hippie with too much land and too little cash flow. Furner says his problems began around about the time he entered into a custody dispute with his ex, when Council received a complaint about alleged unsafe and unsanitary conditions. Council’s first visit was by David Bonnor (Health and Safety) and Bob Higgins (Compliance). They urged him to clean up the place as the building materials stored higgledypiggledy around the place constituted a health hazard and bred rodents. One notes that this would apply to many a conventional farmhouse. Subsequently after further inspection Bob Higgins sent him a letter thanking him for the cleanup in accordance with their requirements.

Further complaints Legally that should have been the end of the health and safety aspect but six months later David Murray sent out a letter citing further complaints regarding health issues and referring now to the issue of unauthorised buildings. He would need a report from a structural engineer stating that his buildings were sound, even though Bob Higgins (himself from the building trade) had earlier told him, ‘Obviously you know your standards.’ During his inspection it was also suggested that he mow his lawns. This remark may be more significant than he realised; when the Tidiness Police arrive you are entitled to suspect that concern with health regulations is secondary to a desire to impose anally retentive cultural norms on a deviant group. Do we all need to live in the same way?

property or the environment’ seems to be wildly at odds with the fact that the Family Court after a hearing gave Furner equal custody and that his ex lived at and gave home-birth at the property using the very water complained about by Council. t 8IFSF BSF QFPQMF TVQposed to shit if you tell them to immediately stop using the onsite sewerage system and how does such contribute to environmental health? Just because a waste disposal system doesn’t comply with the requirements doesn’t make it inherently dangerous, yet the staff attitude seems to be that they don’t have any delegation to specify what the ‘threat to life, property or the environment’ actually is. This clearly contradicts Council policy that it is the impacts which are the problem, not the illegality itself. It seems to me that the policy shifts the onus of proof onto the staff.

Weak position Furner says Council staff entered the property two days after receiving an email saying ‘don’t come as I’ll be away’ and despite the gate being locked. Legally Council can enter without permission only in the case of imminent danger. It seems to me that Council is in a very weak legal position in the Furner case. The question arises: was Council was used as a pawn in a non-planning dispute?

I close on this case by recording my embarrassment at having to admit that former Councillor Bob Higgins seems to be the only one in the entire Council who acts in a compassionate way in accordance with Council policy; I have had only good reports about his helpfulness. I hope this won’t be used against him!

A case of hot air The case of Byron Ballooning relates to signage rather than dwellings but similar questions arise. Proprietor Thomas Dattler was told by Council to remove an unauthorised sign near the airport at Tyagarah, with the apparently obligatory threat of a $1.1 million fine + $110,000 per day. (Also apparently routine is the assurance that you may appeal the decision, but in the meantime you still have to do what we tell you!) 8IFO .S %BUUMFS BTLFE XIZ only this sign and not others in the vicinity had to be removed, was told that only his sign had been complained about. He lodged an FOI, only to receive a letter advising the relevant action requests ‘were lodged internally by staff ’. Considering that there had been an earlier issue regarding the status of the shed used by Byron Ballooning the suggestion that staff may themselves file a complaint while ignoring photographs of other illegal signs sent to them is not a good look. Coverup?

In a previous article I referred to a landowner whose FOI request had been responded to with an ‘action request’ form as filled out by Council staff, rather than with a copy of the primary information received by staff. The landowner complained and the GM wrote back replying that as the original complaint had been lodged by phone, the action request form was all that was available. This turns out to be misleading. A letter sent to another landlord says quite clearly ‘.... I have printed from our computer system the action requests lodged by Council staff along with the transcript received by telephone. Please note the transcript from the third party [ie the complainant] has been duly edited to remove identity information....’ In other words when you lodge an FOI you are entitled to receive either a copy of the original letter of complaint or a transcript of the original telephone conversation. If you receive neither then it is difficult to avoid the conclusion that Council has something to hide. In the case referred to here, the promised transcript was not actually enclosed.

Recurring problems Two recurring problems that remind me of my time on Council. One is that an individual has no way of knowing whether statements made by Council in relation to his/her case reflect what Council is doing in other cases. An elected Councillor has the right to look at all or any of Council’s files, but I see no signs of much forensic drive in the current crop; they prefer to ask the staff to provide their version of the relevant information and wait – and wait. The other problem is that an apparent coverup by a senior staff member does not necessarily reflect a lack of integrity. The fact is that the actions of junior staff, however arbitrary or over-zealous, have binding consequences for the Council itself. In order to protect the Council’s legal position senior staff are therefore often obliged to run around putting out fires started by their juniors and doing whatever they can to calm the situation. This arse-covering, however, tends to translate into a culture where it becomes the senior staff ’s de facto responsibility to protect the junior staff themselves, rather than the institution as such. This expectation is typically expressed in whinges about ‘staff morale’ when their performance is subject to media TDSVUJOZ 8IZ EPO U UIFZ MJę their morale by doing their job more conscientiously and impartially? www.echo.net.au

Students learn bicycle safety at Bruns

Carlton Draught Stubbies

Renee Gollan-Essex and Jasper Last find their bike education tutors Jay Carney and James Adams no obstacle to safe riding. Story & photo Eve Jeffery

Brunswick Heads Public School students were recently put through their paces in the NSW Ride 2 School Cycle Workshop. Children at the school took part in the program which is designed to test participant’s ability to perceive hazards from in front and behind, stopping quickly in an emergency and signalling their actions to other road users. Brunswick Heads Public School has been registered with Bicycle NSW’s initiative Ride 2 School since September 2008. The educational workshop aims to get ‘More Students, More Active, More Often’, and each month the school does a

‘hands up’ survey to find the number of students who ride, (bikes or skateboards), walk, use public transport or are driven to school. These results are submitted and recorded so the school as part of the program can monitor the students’ travel behaviour. Participating in the program has given the school the opportunity to win bicycles, helmets, lights, t-shirts, and other cycling gear. In November they won a Malvern Star bicycle and helmet. The recent workshop was delivered by Ride2School Program Manager and Cycle Skill Coach James Adams with assistance from Jay Carney, the co-owner of True Wheel Cycles in Mullumbimby.

’It’s really important we make students aware of how to stay safe and be responsible riders on our roads and cycleways,’ said James. ‘We aim to teach students not to be pedestrians on bicycles but a functioning part of traffic. Bicycles are regarded as a vehicle and riders must obey the road rules.’ Wednesday March 25 is National Ride2School Day and many of the Bruns kids will be hopping on their bikes. The Bicycle NSW Ride2School Program is free to join. To find out how to get your school involved and how to receive the workshops, which are free to schools, visit www.bicyclensw.org.au/ content/ride2school or call 02 9218 5405.

Aurelien Floret and his mandalas Victoria Cosford

The mandala – Sanskrit for circle or centre – has long been used in many religious traditions. Representing wholeness, it can be seen as a model for the organisational structure of life itself, a cosmic diagram to remind us of our relation to the infinite. Visiting Parisian artist Aurelien Floret creates hand- and computer-drawn mandalas which explore his transformative visions and are expressed in beautiful and complex imagery. On display at Zakay Glass Creations at the Byron Arts and Industry Park until mid May, they draw on Sacred Geometry patterns and are reflections of the artist’s trips around the world, work with Tibetan monks, psychedelic experiences, meditations and meetings with shamans. According to Aurelien – whose background is in graphic art – mandalas represent both the outer and the inner universe, are a path to selftransformation and operate like mirrors in that they reflect you and send back frequencies and resonances. They also have

Indi Anna and the Easter miracles Story & photo Eve Jeffery

Mandi Gumbrell had only been pregnant for 25 weeks when she went into labour with her first born but after six miscarriages followed by two years of infertility there was no way Mandi was letting go of this one. Being her first pregnancy, Mandi had no idea that what she was feeling were contractions until it was suggested by a nurse at Mullum hospital and after one look at her, Mandi’s GP knew that a baby was on the way. Mandi was put into an ambulance for the journey from Byron Bay to Brisbane. ‘Every hospital along the way was on standby in case I started to deliver en route,’ said Mandi. Indi Anna Gumbrell arrived at the Mater Mothers’ Hospital by emergency caesarean that night weighing 861 grams. At birth, Indi fitted neatly across the cupped palms of dad Chay’s hands and was half as long as her new soft toy ‘Bun Bun’. Indi Anna spent the next eight weeks at the Mater in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and Special Care Nursery. Mandi stayed in Brisbane and still remembers the first time she held her child. Indi Anna was 12 days old. ‘I sat in a big blue chair and gave her “kangaroo cuddles”, said

Indi with Max the Mater Little Miracles mascot and ‘Bun Bun’ .

Mandi. ‘When the nurse came to take her back, it was so hard, I didn’t want to let her go.’ Despite Indi having a chronic lung disorder, spending her first year on oxygen, and having countless blood transfusions, Mandi never doubted that she would take her little girl home to eventually lead a normal life and her faith has proven true. This year Indi started school at

children such as Indi are given a fighting chance and Indi was chosen to be their poster girl, literally. Locally, Easter Appeal merchandise can be purchased from Riverside Espresso in Brunswick Heads, Tradlink in Byron Bay, Gerona at Ocean Shores and both The Pocket school and Ocean Shores PreSchool.

Plants for food or fuel? The competition between the food needs of a growing human population and the emerging use of crops for energy production will be explored during the first of the 2009 Science Conversation Series seminars. The seminar, hosted by Southern Cross University’s School of Environmental Science and Management, will be presented by Professor Robert Henry, director of the Centre for Plant Conservation Genetics at the Lismore campus on Thursday March 26. Professor Henry will explore the competition between the food needs of a growing human population and the conservation of biodiversity as intensified by the emerging use of crops for energy production. ‘As concern about the impact of greenhouse gas emissions on climate grows and oil prices

increase, energy production from agricultural crops has become a significant industry,’ Professor Henry said. ‘At the same time, increases in food demand due to population growth have been accelerated by rising affluence associated with economic growth in major developing countries and increasing per capita consumption. ‘Consumers are concerned that the price of food will continue to increase sharply as a result of this competition but a loss of biodiversity may be another major outcome.’ The seminar ‘Plant Resources for Food, Fuel or Conservation’ will be held on Thursday March 26, 5.30pm to 7pm, in U231 at the Lismore campus.

Pro surf comp roundup

Quiksilver Pro Trials Well here we go again with Quiksilver Pro trials starting off in reasonable head high waves. All surfers surfed extremely well and the crowd loved watching the down the line waves provided by Coolangatta’s Super Bank. The Final was a real nail bitter as Corey Ziems narrowly beat Dale Richards, with power surfer Shaun Gossmen third Kiron Jabour from Hawaii fourth. Truthfully the final minutes came down to a super battle of contest tactics and fine surfing amongst all.

Roxy Pro The Roxy Pro in my eyes this year had performed well above previous events with loads of support behind the girls. Unfortunately the wave factor was a little low, but the girls still showed us how it’s done with modern turns never seen before in this event. Most of the event was extremely entertaining with each girl fighting it out to the death for Roxy Pro victory. Surfers such as Silvan Lima scored the first ten point ride in round one with a perfect aerial and multiple power turns to the beach. Sally Fitzgibbons scored

a near perfect 9.17 in round one, but it was the local girl and crowd pleaser Stephanie Gilmore who scored over three nines throughout the event. Eventually in the final two time reigning world ASP Champion Stephanie Gilmore (Happy Gilmore) exploded with her well known power surfing to take out

The Quiksilver Pro ´09 Wow, another year and one of the best. The event was held right through the whole window period as a major cyclone lingered north and threatened the event with perfect surf or disastrous conditions. The first rounds were held at the famous Duranbah beach in varying conditions that

were affected by tides winds and swell. I thoroughly believe the judges did an exceptional job and all the surfers who progressed deserved so. The biggest upset of the event was the removal of Kelly Slater as he was outclassed by Julian Wilson. CJ Hobgood surfed well, but just

couldn’t match Parko’s hunger. Mick Fanning was looking red hot right into the semis until the famous clash with Parko in massive Spot X Kirra pits. Mick surfed extremely well and surfed beyond fear but just couldn’t match Parko’s last unmakeable magic pit in which he re-appeared right in front of the judges. The final remained at Spot X, Kirra in six to eight foot waves and Joel Parkinson was just unreal with his patients and wave selection against his Brazilian opponent Adriano De Souza with Parko scoring yet again another perfect ten in this unforgettable final. The whole event really was a true sporting event and congratulations to all including the local event winners Joel Parkinson and Stephanie Gilmore. It was a great start to the World Tour.

Aboriginal involvement in the Cape Byron Marine Park

T

he seas within, and the lands adjacent to, Cape Byron Marine Park have long been recognised by the Bundjalung people as a special place for meeting and gathering and for sharing resources and culture. The area has supported Aboriginal people for at least 22,000 years and includes many spiritual and culturally important sites such as middens, burial sites, ceremonial bora rings and various open camping sites. Since the declaration of Cape Byron Marine Park in 2002, the Marine Parks Authority and members of the Byron Bay Bundjalung (Arakwal) Community have worked together to manage the park. Developing a close working partnership with the local indigenous community has provided benefits to both the community and to the Marine Parks Authority in the effective management of Cape Byron Marine Park. Representatives from the Arakwal community sit on the Cape Byron Marine Park Advisory Committee and their input into the preparation of the Marine Park Zoning Plan led to the creation of

special purpose zones which cater for and recognise traditional use. The Cape Byron Marine Park has provided opportunities for the employment and training of members of the local indigenous community in aspects of marine park management. Aboriginal staff employed at Cape Byron Marine Park include a Field Officer and a Marine Ranger. Marine parks staff coordinate an indigenous training program for Aboriginal staff employed by the Department of Environment and Climate Change, Byron Area Office. The training program has been established to ensure that Aboriginal staff develop the necessary skills to undertake marine-related activities, including scuba diving, vessel operations, compliance, mooring fabrication and maintenance, and marine mammal/reptile disentanglement and stranding procedures, and other related skills. Consequently, Cape Byron Marine Park boasts the only commercially qualified aboriginal dive team in NSW and no longer pays contractors to undertake tasks

associated with the establishment and maintenance of public moorings or marker buoys in the marine park. Local Arakwal artist Sean Kay was commissioned by the Marine Parks Authority to produce art work for inclusion on educational and advisory material

for Cape Byron Marine Park. The white spotted eagle ray, Aetobatus narinari, design is featured on signs, posters, brochures and marine park advertising. The white spotted eagle ray is a resident of the marine park and Sean’s design has become the Cape Byron Marine Park’s signature species.

The Big Yolk... how’s ya mother? When you are a woman who happens to be a comic, there’s one question that you get asked over and over again? What’s it like being a woman comic? Most women comics will admit that having never been a man it’s hard to answer from any other perspective except the female. Of course it’s tough, it’s a male dominated profession, but it’s also one where difficult and mouthy women have been making inroads for years. Standup comedy is not a glamorous profession. At best you get a weirdo in sneakers backstage telling you you’re awesome, at worst it’s risky and you’ll need an escort to the carpark. So what is the defining characteristic that pushes an ordinary gal into standup? *T JU UIFJS DIJMEIPPE $PVME JU IBWF TPNFUIJOH UP EP XJUI UIFJS NVNT For standup comedian )BOOBI (BETCZ, being a standup comic has everything to do with her mum.

I think I was 24 or 25, I phoned her, I didn’t want to do it face to face. She said, “why are you telling me this? How would you feel if I told you I was a murderer? Or a robber!â€? 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!’ 5IJT ZFBS BU UIF .FMCPVSOF $PNFEZ 'FTUJWBM )BOOBI JT QSFTFOUJOH B TIPX EJSFDUFE BOE QSPEVDFE CZ "EBN )JMMT BMM BSPVOE IFS NVN ‘It’s definitely a mother/daughter relationship show.’

THE TWO OF THEM:

Ross Nobel & Darren Percival

Being a solo musician can be lonely. There’s no-one to show your fabulous new song to, no-one to complain to when Mandy Nolan a gig goes bad and no-one to give you the kind of feedback you really need. That’s where musical friendships come into it. Back in 2001, Ross Nobel had an unlikely meeting with I have a confession.

A HAIRY STORY

Ross: I’ve never been brave enough to make my own albums. I did it for other people. But I stood up, and that’s when I became the Upright Man‌ It was really just a lack of confidence in my own voice being as good as anyone else’s. We wrote a song together based on a phrase from the bible, ‘shake the dust off’, in the style of the Blind Boys of Alabama. Darren literally started on the note and sang the whole melody. It was like he was singing in tongues. It was so shocking that on the tape all you can hear is me laughing. It then took me three months to write the lyrics. Darren: My favourite artists are songwriters who sing. They have the triangle of voice, lyrics and instrument. I tend to write with just voice but Ross can sit at a piano and work it through as he goes. Ross: Our creative styles are diametrically opposed. Darren’s approach is like jumping out of a plane arms out free falling but I am like the neurotic Woody Allen Jewish guy. We have very different ways of doing things. Darren: Ross has helped me write more seriously. There is no competition when we work together. Darren Percival and Ross Nobel perform as Upright Man with a special concert by Darren at the Mullumbimby Civic Hall on Thursday April 2. Tix at Mullum Bookshop, All Music & Vision Stores and at Shearwater. 8pm.

The conscious dance network website is host to a variety of dance classes, workshops and intensives. Some will be familiar with the different intensives on offer in this area and others might just want to check it out now; Kundalini dance, Imove transformational dance, Divine dance heart dance series, Body Prayer, Peace dance, Chakra Dance Move, Templedance, 5 rhythms, Nia and the latest addition, ‘So You Think You Can Trance’. Nick Taylor and Ljudan Michaelis apply a cheekiness that intrigues. Nick Taylor has come to people’s attention originally as part of Prana, an electronic dance music act based in London that was part of a zeitgeist sparking a new era within dance music, nowadays called psychedelic trance. Dance Therapist Ljudan Michaelis, with experience spanning over nearly two decades, will facilitate the intensive as you’ll be blasting off into three hours of dance floor action. So what is a conscious dance intensive? Ljudan: ‘It is a format created to take conscious dancers to a deeper level of their dance journeys through a collaboration of the DJand the facilitator. The facilitator creates a sacred space, ‘works’ the dance floor throughout the session to keep it energetically activated and free flowing for the dancers. The dj maps the night with his choice of music. .’ Q: Can you give us a glimpse into what the four hours will

involve? Ljudan: ‘The first 30mins is warm-up, connect with others and get familiar with the space, then a short dance ritual (dance of the 4 directions by Chese Malaika). Nick: At 10.30pm there is a completion circle to ground the energy, bring everyone back to earth and check in that all is well. The music continues in a gentle flow until 11pm to allow people to rest in stillness or debrief on the verandah with others.’ Q: Is the title of this dance workshop supposed to challenge a Trance party crowd and is it supposed to provoke thought about the meaning of trance? Ljudan: ‘People have an association of what trance music is (doof doof generally comes to mind) and we want people to discover that many different types of music can induce a true form of trance.’ Q: Where did you have your first Trance experience? Both: ‘In a little club in Tokyo called The Cave with DJ Kudo playing for eight hours straight.’ Q: What made you want to DJ at a workshop like this? Nick: ‘I’ve been playing at parties, festivals and nightclubs for many years now, but I relish

the challenge and potential of being part of something where the intent is more focused and everyone is on the same wavelength. I think I’ll have a lot more musical freedom of expression than in the dance music ‘scene’ which I often find is fixated on style and fashion and has a tendency to be very genre specific.’ Q: Who should come to this fortnightly dance event? Ljudan: ‘Anyone willing to experience a natural high through dance. The challenge being to enter the dance floor clear headed and surrender to the transformation that lies ahead of them.’ Nick: ‘Anyone who loves to dance and is open to the experience.’ Q: So, you think you can trance? Nick: ‘Well I’ve done it before so I’m sure I can do it again. Anyway in the right conditions everyone can!’ Ljudan: ‘I believe I do. And I want others to experience it too. That is why I am doing what I do!’ This fortnightly dance intensive on Wednesday nights at Durrumbul Hall starts March 25 at 7pm with doors closing at 7.30pm. Cost is $15. www. consciousdancenetwork.com.

UNIVERSAL CULTURE OF SINGULARITIES

Strictly speaking this is not a healing modality, however if everybody on the planet started adhering to this notion put forward by French philosopher Jacques Derrida, it could be the most powerful healing modality of all. Basically, it refers to the acknowledgment of individual cultures as part of a greater global culture that is made up of the singular cultures. It's about accepting the differences and recognising that there is always some level of overlap between cultures, even if it's only that we are all human. As John Lennon said: 'You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us And the world will be as one.'

1. Pale Rider, Clint Eastwood’s homage/ ripoff of Shane, screens on NBN, Thursday, 11pm. 2. Channel Seven likes old British comedy and this is why on Saturday night (11.45pm) we are treated to Ripping Yarns. The episode isn’t specified, but the best was The Testing of Eric Olthwaite (Michael Palin, pictured). Terry Jones co-wrote the series. 3. When reviewing Australian screen classics, The Castle (NBN, Tuesday 9.30pm) will always come high on the list. Despite the bad language and apparent racial slurs, the film is funny, moral and full of family values – a powerful argument against the censorious.

street without ogling his reflection in the window of every shop he passes. I’m yet to warm to him, but he and Roberts combine to make as perfectly narcissistic a couple as you’re likely to come across. They are enmeshed in a sometimes impenetrable Duplicity scam to pocket $40 million Is it just me? Or is Julia for themselves. Their target Roberts’s mouth really is the corporate world, getting bigger? Now but they are not Robin Groper-like, it is an unand Marion – they are nerving thing in smiling just greedy, which is not close-up, especially when a particularly attractive smeared with lurid red trait at present. The movie – the challenge posed opens inauspiciously, with by her bottom lip being director Tony Gilroy calling considerably thinner than her top is one to which the on the ultra slow-mo and the old split screen trick make-up artist, alas, was before the credits have unable to rise. Flouncing stopped rolling. For the off into the narrow streets next two hours we get behind Rome’s Pantheon numerous time jumps, in her retro Ossie Clark painfully contrived doublefrock, she looks less like crosses and canards, and America’s sweetheart than a high priced trannie on his mandatory posh locations way to work. Her partner in – ‘we’re not like other industrial espionage is Clive people’ they tell each other, and it’s true. The rich Owen, the sort of bloke are different – they have who can’t walk down the more money. I didn’t care

Paul Blart : Mall Cop Remember how in The Terminal (2004), with Tom Hanks playing that Eastern European immigrant with no ID papers who is forced to take up residency in a Paris airport, the setting contributed so much to the success of the film? Well, this isn’t like that – even though it is shot almost entirely within a shopping mall. Kevin James, an otherwise likeable portly comic ideally suited

to support roles, is the eponymous hero of this execrable waste of time. He is also its co-writer and if I told you that he is a regular collaborator with Adam Sandler you’d twig how inane and aggressively low-brow it is. Overweight, hyperglycaemic Paul lives at home with his Mom and fat young daughter. He wants to be a New Jersey cop, but his condition prevents him from getting through the training, so he works as a security officer in a shiny giant mall. On the job, he is a rotund Barney Fife riding an upright ‘personal transport’, designed to save the user from walking anywhere. Scooting around on it provides a couple of lame sight gags, especially when he bangs into a display Four Wheel Drive while sneaking an optic nerve at Amy, the hair-extension salesgirl. She has a vacant prettiness that could as easily belong to a sixtyyear old who has been Botoxed to the nth, but Paul falls head over heels in love with her. Teetotal, he disgraces himself before her one night when he inadvertently drinks alcohol, but his opportunity for redemption comes when a gang of villains invade the mall and take Amy hostage. Keir O’Donnell as Veck, the crooks’ ringleader, might go on to better things, but he is wasted in what is merely one ridiculous scenario after another. A fellow across the aisle from me laughed like a hyena on every cue, so clearly there was something uproarious going on that I simply didn’t get – but then again, he was similarly amused by the ads preceding the feature, the one for the Ballina Bridge Club in particular. I figured he was either stoned or what was once unacceptably referred to as retarded. Certainly, I would not dare be so arrogant as to say that he was plain dumb, though this is, unarguably, a dumb movie. I took advantage of a projector malfunction to flee about ten minutes before the close, so I’ll never know if Paul saved the mall from destruction and won Amy’s heart. Unbackable odds say he did both. ~ John Campbell

He’s Just Not That Into You This film revisits the age-old problem of intergender miscommunication. But it’s updated into the digital era in this bright, incisive, sharply written, bitter-sweet comedydrama. Featuring a terrific ensemble cast including Ben Affleck, Jennifer Connelly, Jennifer Aniston, Justin Long, Ginnifer Goodwin, Drew Barrymore and Scarlett Johansson, and based on the bestselling book by Greg

Behrendt and Liz Tuccillo (Sex and the City). Not really a romantic comedy or a full out drama, the film is a more realistic look at the lives of a group of singles and couples in Baltimore and the pitfalls that await them on the way to couple bliss. The comedy in the film is not in the overblown fashion of most romantic comedies, but in that, “yep, I’ve seen that happen to one of my friends� that makes the characters more endearing. ~ Lounge Cinema

Last Day

one iota whether their plan succeeded – or for that matter whether their relationship survived. As lovers they are as appealing as a pair of mating Brown Snakes. No expense is spared in art direction and editing, but with the scale-down transition available to any novice on iMovie06, its umpteenth use does not exactly bedazzle. The general tone frequently calls to mind the Coen Brothers, for Gilroy’s wont is to do something quirky when his script gets repetitive or leads to a dead end. Like Ethan and Joel, he strokes the ego of his audience by encouraging them to believe they are sipping from the Holy Grail of coolness and not guzzling a jar of Chateau Chunder. And Englishman Tom Wilkinson, a wonderful actor when speaking in his own tongue, is a shadow of himself as a Yank. Overacted and over-produced, the sting was at last delivered and greeted by me with heartfelt gratitude, albeit soured by the prospect of yet another sequel in the stuck-up glam crime genre. ~ John Campbell

A taste, as Proust so famously observed, may constitute a portal to a remembered time or place, so potent it might be – and thus it is for Marg and me, two middleaged women perched on high stools in the bar area of Fins, dipping forks into Steven Snow’s Arroz de Marisco, as if we are 25 years old in a seaside port near Lisbon. The glass of rose – admittedly Spanish – assists enormously in the revival of our respective Portuguese experiences, our eyes dreamy. Arroz de Marisco is a Portuguese seafood dish – chunky white fish, mussels, squid, prawns, clams, baby octopus tossed through spicy tomatoey rice, similar to seafood risotto, paella, jambalaya, pilau – and one to be sure that I did not even eat all those years ago during my fleeting visit to the country. Perhaps it is the meltingly soft squid or the smoky paprika or the spiced tomato that transports me to a little jetty at dusk where the tenderest rings of calamari were shared over a bottle of rose with my then-boyfriend. I just adored Portugal. Unbidden, the recollection of a ride on a funicular railway in Lisbon rises up. Much of Lisbon – capital since the Moors conquest in 1147 – is built on seven hills and apart from the 1930’s trams which service the city there are three of these extraordinary funiculars which convey you in dizzying perpendicular fashion from one point to another. I remember these; the calamarirose evening; the jaw-dropping pastry shops (I think I gained five kilos in a week); the very groovy English bars; the fantastic gelatos; and the amazing vision of black swans sailing serenely along Lisbon waterways. (When I tell Steve Snow this part he suggests, incredulously, that drugs might have contributed to that

particular experience but I insist on the black swans, which someone told me had been brought over from that most exotic of countries, Australia‌) I also remember being struck by the language which, unlike the poetry and euphony of Italian and Spanish, sounded gutteral and coarse. And yet that was the only disharmony: I was otherwise enraptured. We had come from Morocco where we had hoped to travel to Casablanca – except that, ten days into the journey, around about Fez I think, we had eaten chicken unwisely purchased from a roadside stall and become so ill that the notion of remaining in this steamy, sinister, confronting and unhygienic country lost its appeal immediately. Portugal represented civilisation and – I regret to admit – the quaint old English bars its height. Marg does not even have the opportunity to tell me her Portuguese recollections and adventures – I have held the floor once again, and besides Steve is back for a chat about his favourite country as well. He is even salting his own cod to turn it into that glorious dish ‘bacalhau’, the Portuguese national dish – exemplified at the start of our evening by the two crunchy little balls which arrive at our table, golden-crumbed on the outside and lushly creamy within. Portuguese food – which seems to be the poor cousin to the nauseatingly fashionable Spanish – is the second great thing Steve does (the first being the creation of piscatory marvels, both simple and complex) – and so, in the absence of my ability to revisit that fascinating country I can always pop up to Fins and briefly, through aromas and flavours, re-imagine myself there.

NEW MANGOS ON WAY Three new mango varieties have been released under the Australian National Mango breeding program, the result of 15 years of painstaking breeding research across three states. Based on the popular Kensington Pride line, the hybrid varieties will be of exceptional quality and will give consumers an even greater choice of this most luscious of fruits. The bad news is that these new mangos will not be on the shelves for four to five years.

TOP OF THE WORLD Journalist David Dale, in his oft-quoted list of restaurants to avoid, includes those on the tops of buildings – especially if they are revolving. In fact there’s a lot to be said for the experience – as anyone who has soared up to the Observation Deck of the Q1 in Surfers Paradise can testify (a drink and a snack up there with views to Byron Bay is simply fantastic). In Wickham Terrace in Brisbane the 38-year old Gazebo Terrace Hotel, now rebadged Urban Brisbane, has recently emerged from a multi-million dollar refurbishment which has included the top floor restaurant with its panoramic view of the city’s skyline. The Gazebo Restaurant and Bar is offering a contemporary Australian menu peppered with influences from Asia and the Mediterranean – such as Szechuan Crusted Beef Fillet on Truffle Mash with Red Wine Jus and Olive Butter or Yellow Exotic Thai Curry Prawns on Steamed Jasmine Rice. So if you like food with a view then it might be worth a visit!

Mungo’s Crossword first published in The Week.

ARIES: Take advantage of the Sun, Mercury, Venus and this year’s new Moon in Aries to send an energetic wish list to the universe this week. Plant the seed ideas of what you’d like to grow and manifest later in the year, because right now the force is with you. TAURUS: In a transitioning economy, security conscious Taurans are likely to want to play it safe. But there’s no such creature as a sure thing and this adventurous week favours progressive ideas and original marketing strategies, so if funds shrink, start expanding your mind. Get creative. GEMINI: The present astroclimate favours forthright action over long winded discussion, and with people tending to be argumentative, disagreeing could be more trouble than it’s worth. This week’s challenge will be tactfully leading discussions and negotiations away from impassioned rants and back to a productive track. Sergey Shipov recently described Gata Kamsky’s play in his Candidates final against Veselin Topalov as comparable to his efforts in Canberra and Sydney two years ago. Shipov came to Australia in 2007 as the top seed in Australia’s two strongest-ever international open tournaments, Canberra’s Doeberl Cup and the Sydney International Open, but returned home to Russia with his world ranking in freefall, having run into a series of young, talented and underrated Australian players. Shipov’s experience did not seem to discourage international stars from coming to the Doeberl Cup and SIO in 2008 and next month the two events, running consecutively, promise to be bigger and better than ever. Easter’s 47th Doeberl Cup – www.thedoeberlcup.com.au – again at the Hellenic Club and sponsored by O2C, is the most accessible event for players of all strengths, featuring five separate tournaments.

things coming abruptly to an unexpected end take heart, because this week kicks off an exciting new growth cycle. Even with radical rearrangements of expectations and plans, an astral breath of fresh air begins to disperse clouds of doubt and pessimism. SCORPIO: Scorpios are enigmatic coots, but with so much uncertainty about that will drive this week’s people nuts. Better to communicate clearly because the time’s ripe for a new job, project or business as long as its ecologically ethical – don’t waste energy on anything else. SAGITTARIUS: A flare of fire sign planets sets this week alight with a desire for radical change, but there’s plenty of that already happening so avoid snap decisions in favour of incremental steps. Control and discipline aren’t your favourite words, but during a state of flux they’re essential. CAPRICORN: As this week barges in and rearranges

This is the time of year for reinventing yourself, so let its optimistic energy rocket you full steam ahead. AQUARIUS: This week’s challenge is keeping plans relevant and realistic: in a word, earthed. Sounds simplistic, but reminding yourself you have a body and doing physical things (in nature or a garden, cooking, eating, exercising, dancing and getting massaged) all work to ground those revolutionary ideas.

Les is a legend in Mullum’s field of dreams Thousand of fans descend on the Mullumbimby football ground every year but few of those, especially the lil’ tackers, would know why the ground is named the ‘Les Donnelly Field’. Local bloke Les has been involved in the Mullumbimby Rugby League Football Club for many years. His association with the club began in 1952 when he played in what was known at the time as the United team, which was a combined team of players from Brunswick Heads and Billinudgel. Les left United to play with the Billinudgel team in 1953 and remained with this team until retiring from football in 1959. In the 1950’s there were six teams in the Brunswick Valley competition. They were Brunswick Heads, Billinudgel, Byron Bay, Mooball, Bangalow and a combined Bangalow/Byron team. Originally, games were played at the Recreation Ground near the High School and also at the Mullumbimby Showground. When the competition moved to the fields at Pine Avenue, wet weather became a constant problem. Being Council-owned fields, players and spectators were often frustrated with constant

Turning 84 next Sunday, living legend, Les Donnelly checks out the turf at Mullumbimby before the season opener on the Easter weekend. Photo Tree Faerie.

were a real problem, said Les. ‘We had to make our own gelignite and blast them to bits so we could move them.’ Les said the land was also very wet and had to be extremely well drained if the fields were going to be used to their full potential. Two large drainage pipes were placed the full length of the field and twelve ag lines were placed across the field from one end up to the 25m line. Les remembers measuring out the field and doublechecking to be sure it was to specifications. Soil that was removed for the drainage pipes was carefully spread out across the field to improve the playing surface. It is this meticulous planning that has proved a huge success today as the main field is now recognized as one of the best playing surfaces in regional NSW. As Club President for a total period of 12 years, stretching from the early 1970’s to 1985, Les worked hard to ensure the vision club members had of owning their own fields, became a reality. Les had help from a number of people including his wife, Mary. Mary worked for many years fundraising for the club through the MRLFC Ladies Auxiliary,

of which she was President for a number of years. Taking a look at some of her old records, Mary produced receipts and financial records, all neatly hand-written and kept in immaculate condition. She has receipts from 1981 showing the MRLFC Ladies Auxiliary annual membership fee was $1.00 per person. They served main meals every Friday night and at special functions with all proceeds going to the club. Les said he had a lot of support from many others who worked through a myriad of documents and regulations in order to obtain approval to build the club house and also to gain a liquor license. Any day of the week you will find Les inspecting the grounds and still working tirelessly for the club he has cherished for so long. Onya Les!

field closures and an inability to play all planned competition games within a season. As such, a decision was made to purchase land and create fields owned by the club itself. And so began the enthusiastic fund-raising effort known as the ‘2 bob pub raffles’. Players and committee members sold 20 cent tickets in meat tray raffles every Friday night at the Middle Pub and the Chincogan

Tavern, known at the time as the Top Pub). ‘It only took 12-14 months to raise enough money to buy land for the fields,’ says Les In 1977, Les negotiated for a parcel of 28 acres of land to be purchased by the Club from Noel Porter. It cost $18,000. After placing a deposit on the land in 1977, documents were prepared to gain approval to build the main road into the

ground. This approval was granted in 1978 from both the Dept. of Main Roads and Byron Shire Council. After the purchase was made, Les Donnelly and a band of enthusiastic club members and volunteers started the arduous task of creating their own fields and club house. Les recalls the challenges they faced. ‘There were some big stumps out there and they

Byron Bay Boardriders

SATURDAYS Byron Artisan Market 6-10pm 6685 7777

The All Girls Surfriders held their March club round and campout at Evans Head. As part of a weekend full of surf, beginner and intermediate surfers were coached by Brett Singleton from Summerland Surf School and the Longboarders had coaching by Trish Giltinan. Sunday saw the surf pushing in a solid 1-1½ metre sets and as the tide went out, conditions

became very challenging out the back. The All Girls would like to thank the Evans Surf Lifesaving Club who had to assist in several rescues due to snapped leg ropes and to the parents who acted as spotters on the day. Congratulations to all the finalists as follows: Junior Beginners: 1st Samantha Kay, 2nd Jo Callaghan, 3rd Isobel Mayo, 4th Georgia McFee; Senior Beginners: 1st Bronwyn Lorraway, 2nd Berenice Roberts, 3rd Robyn Thomas, 4th Susan Fryer; Intermediate: 1st Jenny Arnold, 2nd Jessica Stewart, 3rd Ashlee Spence, 4th Maddie Tresselt; Advanced: 1st Codie Klein, 2nd Lana Parkes, 3rd Lyla Wright, 4th Stephanie Single; Longboard: 1st Trish Giltinan, 2nd Marg Bryant, 3rd Maz Pentecost, 4th Kerry Wilcox.

Backlash The compliance department of Council is still bugging hinterland residents – see Fast Buck$’s opinion piece on page 14. If Council wants to enter your property you can get legal advice on the extent to which it may do so and if you believe you have a legitimate complaint lodge it with the Ombudsman – see more at www.ombo.nsw. gov.au. By the way, both Mayor Jan Barham and Council’s general manager are welcome to respond at length to any of the issues raised, especially if they see some disparity between the way unauthorised hinterland renters and holiday letters are treated.

Expect a bit more noise in the skies and perhaps a chance to star unexpectedly in a movie. The SAE Institute Byron Bay has acquired a $800,000 brand new Robinson R44 helicopter so its film students can practise aerial photography. The chopper will be kept at Tyagarah airfield. ■ ■ ■ ■

A reader points out that the Rudd government proposal to give shareholders power over executive bonuses in proportion to the size of their share holdings fails to account for the large number of shares the fat cats themselves often have. The ‘one man, one vote’ system is our reader’s proposal as a better way to get the desired outcome of less greed and more competence. ■ ■ ■ ■

Local comedian Sandy Gandhi says to the locals: ‘A big thank you for supporting me in Australia’s Got Talent – I didn’t make it to the Grand Final. It’s back to the queue at Centrelink with my application for the Inability Pension because of the inability to find work!’ ■ ■ ■ ■

We had only one entry for our challenge to find a fictional hero to run Australia, but it is a good one. Liz Ross votes for

‘the towering redheaded 18th century Scotsman, James Malcolm McKenzie Fraser, hero of Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander series… Free of racial prejudice and social bigotry, his best friend is gay, his trusted companion is Chinese, he has fought to free African American slaves, learned the language of Native Americans to better communicate and trade, and best of all he is quite willing to accept that his wife is a surgeon who has travelled back in time from the 20th century. What would make this Scotsman good enough to lead Australia? Well, apart from having great Aussie traits like survival against adversity, this man will fight to the death to protect his family and his mates, distils his own grog, has a great sense of humour, and most importantly has complete disregard for the authority of the English.’ With an editor named McDonald, we can only agree.

Termites were found in 12% of the 500 homes inspected – termite attacks are estimated to cost Australian homeowners $910 million annually. We’re not quite sure what the problem is with spiders, apart from the more dangerous kinds. Huntsman spiders, for exam-

ple, are known to knock off cockroaches, which is a good thing. ■ ■ ■ ■

Your challenge this week: download a Byron Council agenda from its website and study one of the reports. Imagine being a councillor.

According to Archicentre, a survey of 500 homes in Victoria, NSW and Queensland revealed evidence of past and present activity by rats and mice in 46% of all homes, with spiders in 58%, cockroaches in 15%, possums 13% and silverfish in 5% of homes inspected.
