The annual Bangalow Billy Cart Derby is under a month away, to be run on Sunday May 17. The main street of Bangalow becomes a race track for one day a year and this year there is a new attraction. The Schools Billy Cart Challenge Race will be run as a separate race.

All primary schools are invited to enter, and as an added incentive $1,000 in prize money will be given to the P&C association of the

Bikram

winning school and $500 to the runner-up school. The cart drivers will be primary school students 12 years and under.

Organiser Tony Heeson said, ‘We are very keen to introduce these races as we feel that teaching children road safety can’t start early enough. The NSW Police Department, NRMA, youth services, local community Groups and shire councils all support this event. Just imagine brightly painted billy carts with catchy names, then add scores of kids cheering for their

school, competing in traditional rivalries, such as Byron v Mullumbimby.

It’ll be fantastic fun.’ Mark your calendars for Sunday May 17. If you are interested in spon-

soring, volunteering or participating please contact Tony Heeson 6687 2580 or 0419 715 098 or at wallaby@nor. com.au. Visit www.bangalowbillycart. com.au for the derby schedules.

CORRECTION: In last week’s Echo the front page story regarding the Fletcher Street development misquoted Mayor Jan Barham, and as a result might have implied that Tom Mooney wanted trees removed when he was the sole developer. In fact while the Land and Environment Court assessment regarding traffic impacts and road works approved the removal of five trees under the original DA, Tom Mooney is still a member of the development group that has negotiated with Council to save four of those five trees, while still complying with DA conditions. The Echo regrets the error.

Lands Board backlash goes statewide According to Byron Shire Councillor Patrick Morrisey, ‘Conservationists and orchardists are not alone in Byron Shire in our ongoing struggle with the Lands Boards. Mainstream farmers right across NSW are equally outraged at the rising rates with no reciprocal increase in services.’

‘Calls to scrap the Livestock Health and Pest Authorities have spread throughout NSW as the State Government is pressured to re-issue rates,’ says the major farmer’s newspaper in NSW (The Land, April).

The NSW Minister for Primary Industries says he has ‘summoned’ the LHPA State Council to explain the new rate rise.

The NSW Coalition has waded in by launching a petition calling for an immediate moratorium of LHPA rates until they are reissued on a fairer basis. Farmers elsewhere are calling for an ‘orderly dismantling’ of the system.

‘Locally, many landholders not involved in the livestock industry, have for years objected to having anything to do with a state government authority focussed on animal health issues,’ said Cr Morrisey.

‘Their other role in controlling

pest animals, like wild dogs and rabbits is very important, but seen by many as a much broader responsibility for all landholders and overlaps with local government responsibilities, and should be managed by the DPI out of general state revenue, not just those that have more than a particular size parcel of land.

‘Landholders managing land for nature conservation and some even prohibited from running livestock because their land is in Mullumbimby’s town water supply catchment, are suitably outraged at paying rates to the “meat mafia” who do not provide effective help in controlling pest animals in the Shire.

‘Local landholders fed up with the Lands Board are strongly urged to formally object in writing and request a formal review of their “notional carrying capacity” within the required 28 days of receiving their rate notice.

‘And not to pay rates until a review of their land is carried out.

‘Hopefully the current backlash across the State will finally be the bringing down of this out-of-touch money-hungry authority.’

Loggerheads hatch at New Brighton A pre-dawn jog by a New Brighton local on Tuesday April 7 was rewarded with an unusual sight as an endangered loggerhead turtle hatchling was emerging from its nest on New Brighton Beach.

National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) ranger Lori Cameron said when she arrived shortly after and looked around, ‘to my horror the hatchlings were going the wrong way, heading west away from the water and getting entangled in the dune vegetation.’

NPWS staff, Australian Seabird Rescue (ASR) volunteers, who had been monitoring the nest as part of the Make Turtles Count program, and local residents quickly found 67 hatchlings and released them immediately on the beach where they made their way to the water.

‘The search continued in the vegetation, combing the area over several hours to ensure that every hatchling had been found,’ said Lori. ‘Five more hatchlings were recovered and released, making a total of 72 hatchlings released.

‘We don’t know why the hatchlings went the wrong way.

Turtle hatchlings eyes can detect very subtle differences in light and it is generally thought they detect the direction of the water by the slight difference in light between the sky and ocean on the horizon.

‘The hatchlings may have been attracted to the distant glow of street lights. Alternatively, despite the rain it is possible that as the moon was low in the western sky this may have been enough for the hatchlings to head off in the wrong direction when they emerged from the nest.

‘The loggerhead turtle (Caretta caretta) is listed as an Endangered species under the NSW Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995, the Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation

Act 1999, and the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) red list.

‘Threats to the loggerhead turtle include human interference with turtle nests, pollution and predation. People can help by collecting rubbish, including plastic bags in the street because they will end up in the ocean.

‘Byron Shire Council has made this part of the beach dog free. However, in the short time that we were there several people brought in dogs that were running all over the dunes. The

dogs could have easily crushed, mouthed or eaten the turtle hatchlings had we not been there.

‘It is crucial that people contact the NPWS if they find a nesting turtle, turtle nest, turtle tracks or hatchlings. Do not disturb nesting turtles, or dig up the nest. Interfering with the nest of native species is an offence and penalties apply.’

NPWS would like to express its gratitude to the local residents and ASR volunteers for helping protect these endangered hatchlings.

Byron Shire targeted for aerial spraying In a bid to bring one of Australia’s worst coastal weeds under control Bitou Bush infestations in Byron Shire, including Cape Byron State Conservation Area, Broken Head, Brunswick Heads (north) and Billinudgel nature reserves and Crown Lands in the north of the shire will be targeted using aerial spraying this May. Bundjalung National Park, south of Evans Head will also be targeted.

National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) Pest Manage-

ment Officer, Lisa Wellman, said that this is the first year that lands in the north of Byron Shire have been targeted with aerial spraying.

For public safety temporary closures of areas to be sprayed will occur between May 18 and June 26.

Ms Wellman said dates are only indicative as operations are very weather dependant.

‘Spraying may continue until the 26th of June and if the weather is against us, there is a

contingency date of the 10th – 14th of August for the control to be completed.

‘The Byron Shire reserves and Crown Lands will be closed at the commencement of each scheduled spray day until the work is completed.

The reserves will be re-opened daily if conditions are not suitable for spraying.

‘Closures will affect Cape Byron State Conservation Area, Broken Head Nature Reserve and Crown Lands and reserves

north of the Brunswick River to the Byron Shire boundary.

Byron Shire Council Manager, Open Spaces and Recreation, Nigel Greenup, said that the coordinated approach between Byron Council and the National Parks and Wildlife Service will offer huge efficiencies in controlling the weed throughout the shire.

‘Aerial spraying will enable us to control Bitou Bush over a broad area, which would otherwise be extremely difficult.’

Pyjama girls gear up for Relay

ONE DAY ONLY

Story & photo Eve Jeffery

For a group of Suffolk Park women, getting together to support a good cause is a great excuse to get dressed up and have a good time.

The members of the ‘Pyjamas and Tiaras’ Relay for Life team are set again for the fourth year in a row, to throw caution to the wind and mix flannel with frou frou in the hope of raising awareness and much needed donations for the Cancer Council.

‘We started our team with girls that were all friends, then invited people we work with and then invited our sisters and more friends,’ says Tiara, Sherry Cooper. ‘Some of the team have friendships at least 13 years long. None of our team members have had cancer but nearly all have had it in their families.

‘One of our team lost a brother when he was in his 30s. He had young kids who were five and six at the time. One team member lost her mother and mother in law to cancer, and another girl’s mum was with us last year when we did the relay and sadly this year she lost her own cancer battle.

‘My father had bowel cancer and is a survivor, and one girl’s mum had breast cancer and is also a survivor. We all have a story of family and young friends and older friends who have all been touched some way at some time. For some team’s members the relay evokes mixed feelings because it is very important to them to support the cause, yet very sad for them in regards to family

they have lost.’

Sherry and the other Tiaras have been rasing funds for the Cancer Council for a long time.

‘We have done the relay for the four years it has been held in the Byron Shire, we have also organised through work or friendships the Girls Night In for Cancer, the Biggest Morning Tea, Daffodil Day, and anything else we can think of. We find it very important to help in some way.’

The Tiaras have raised about $11,000 so far for their efforts at the relay and this year have already reached their relay goal of $3,000.

The money from Relay is used in several areas to support those affected by cancer including a support and information

Pack for people recently diagnosed with cancer, cancer research, living with cancer programs, a multicultural cancer information service, clinical trials and the Cancer Council Helpline (13 11 20).

This year the relay has introduced the VIP Challenge and the Pyjamas and Tiaras are throwing down the gauntlet, or should I say white satin glove.

The VIP challenge is open to all teams who enter the relay and so far 24 teams have registered. The challenge winners will be the team which has raised the most amount of money before relay day. They will get treated to the VIP tent which includes comfy beans bags and a hot cooked brekky served to them in the tent in

the morning and the Tiaras have their eye on the prize.

‘It is always our mission to have fun,’ says Sherry. ‘We make the relay enjoyable to share time with our friends and help and support the people who need it most.

‘We feel it is important to give support in anyway and make a little difference, the ultimate perfect outcome would be that one day there is a cure for cancer.’

This year’s Byron Shire Relay for life will be held at Red Devil Park on May 30 from 2.30pm.

The Early Bird registration fee is $11 per person. For more information about the relay visit www.relay.cancercouncil.com. au or phone the local regional office on 6627 0302.

Young artists draw famous faces Laurie

Stubbs dies

Kicking off this year’s FEHVA visual arts festival, author Di Morrissey sat for about 20 portraitists on Saturday.

The group included Nell Pearson, ex Byron High student who has a Julian Ashton school of art scholarship, Charlotte Kippax from Woodlawn College Lismore, and Liam Van Dugtern who goes to Lismore TAFE. The three young emerging artists are part of a mentoring program under the tutelage of renowned Lennox

Heads based artist Angus McDonald.

Serial surrealist James Guppy also sat as a subject for the Buttery fundraising event.

Artists will work on their portraits for the next four weeks and present them for judging on May 20, with the two $1,000 prizes to be announced at a Celebration of Art, the official opening and awards night for FEHVA on Monday May 25 at the Bangalow A&I Hall.

Local leaders asked to participate in poverty forum in Byron Bay The Byron Community Cultural Centre is calling on community, business and political leaders to a special forum to be convened by the Centre to discuss poverty in the Byron Bay region.

The Centre’s general manager Paul Spooner said, ‘A recent federal government report, Poverty rates by Electoral Divisions, has shown that in the Richmond federal electorate one in six people are living in poverty. ‘This is caused by a poverty rate of 16.6%. ‘This is 41% higher than the national rate of 11.7%. I believe this is at a level that

should cause grave concern to all community leaders and policy makers. We as a community cannot afford to sit back and allow those without anything to continue to suffer in our so-called “Lucky Country�, especially when it is in our backyard. ‘If you take into account we are going through one of the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression we are headed for serious consequences for those with little in our community. ‘This is not just about tough times for wealthy CEOs – this is about daily survival for those with little or nothing in their

Stretched resources need to be stretched even further.

Paul would like to invite all community members, business leaders and politicians who are interested to a special forum to be convened at the Byron Community Cultural Centre on Friday May 1 at 6pm in the Fletcher Street Room.

Local activist and co-founder of The Village Journal (The VJ), Laurie Stubbs of Rosebank, passed away on Tuesday last week after a battle with prostate cancer.

Laurie will be known to readers of The Echo and particularly hinterland readers of The Village Journal, and The Nimbin News, as a passionate voice for regionalism and against excessive profit making. He also called for the scrapping of Rural Lands Protection Board rates for people not involved in the livestock industry and founded the Commonsense Lands Group.

Laurie wrote recently in the VJ, ‘If individuals and corporations all set prices on the base “Do to others as you’d have them do with you� that might make a dent in the bank accounts of the obscenely rich.

But heaps of people like you and I would get a far better deal.’ A service is to be held on Friday April 24 at 11am at the Lismore Crematorium.

A week after the two trees were lopped down in the grounds of Byron Bay Primary School, another has been felled. According to a media spokesperson for the NSW Department of Education and Training Liam Thorpe, Council approval has been granted for the trees to be chopped down in order to create more space.

Byron Primary School has nominated for a new classroom should the federal government approve their project as part of the initiative entitled Building The Education Revolution. In the event that the ‘green light’ be given to go ahead with the new classroom project, the media spokesperson understood that the trees are being removed to make space for a new playground.

Chance for young writers to shine The Heading North short story competition for young writers is back and it’s bigger and better than ever. This is now a significant opportunity for young writers in the region to gain recognition, snare a valuable prize and add something of worth to their literary CV. In only its second year, the Heading North competition has doubled its prizemoney to $1,100 and extended its age range to 25 years and under. It has also expanded its boundaries to include all residents of the Northern Rivers Writers’ Centre catchment area, which is north to Tweed, south to Taree and west to Kyogle.

The winner of this year’s competition will be announced at the 2009 Byron Bay Writers Festival and will take part in a ‘Young Voices’ session at the Festival, joining a panel of dynamic young writers on the current literary landscape.

Competition judges will be looking for developed short stories that demonstrate the writer’s individual voice and

their understanding of writing craft. Organisers expect keen interest from senior secondary English students, tertiary students of creative writing and anyone within the age range who loves to write.

The Heading North competition is presented by the Writers’ Centre and made possible by the sponsorship of ADFAS Byron and District and the Bangalow Lions. ADFAS representa-

tive Shirley Nelson is delighted with the partnership, which addresses one of the ADFAS Association’s core objectives. ’Young Arts is a key concern for ADFAS, which aims to inspire young people with an enthusiasm for the arts and to increase awareness for our arts heritage,’ said Shirley. ’We are thrilled to be involved in this event, which fosters young writing talent and provides a

chance for young people in our region to demonstrate and further their abilities.’

After the Heading North winner is announced he or she will consult with a team from the Northern Rivers Writers’ Centre and map out a strategy that best serves his or her individual writer development needs.

Last year’s winner, Alstonville High School student Matthew Newell, chose to put most of the $500 prizemoney toward a mentorship program that supported his HSC creative writing project this year. He is currently meeting with local writers Alan Close, Tristan Bancks and Melaina Faranda in a series of sessions that will help to develop his HSC project and expand his knowledge of the craft of writing.

The deadline for Heading North submissions is June 15.

Entry forms are available from the Writers’ Centre in Byron Bay or may be downloaded at www.nrwc.org.au. All enquiries to Susie at the Writers’ Centre on 6685 5115.

Council’s new pump under scrutiny at SGB Eve Jeffery

Residents at South Golden Beach are questioning the effectiveness of the new stormwater pump installed in Gloria Street last year.

At a cost of approximately $280,000, installation of the pump began in July 2008. The pump is designed to help remove flood waters on the eastern side of Capricornia Canal at South Golden Beach.

The recent rains have sorely tested the pump which appears to have come up lacking and the locals have been wondering about the pump’s design and the expense to ratepayers.

Paul Tisdell has lived at South Golden for 20 years and says that flooding has always been an issue in the area. ‘Ever since the levee went in there have been problems with flooding.

I have had stormwater under my house for years, ruining floorboards and electrical equipment and it has worsened 100% since the construction of Fern Beach.’

Byron Shire Council’s director of asset management services Phil Holloway said the

Council’s new stormwater pump stationed at the end of Capricornia Canal.

Gloria Street stormwater pump station is still at the testing stage and is not fully functional or commissioned.

‘The recent rainfall events have highlighted some issues and these are currently being addressed with the contractor,’ said Mr Holloway. ‘Ideally we

would have liked for the commissioning to have been completed prior to the recent rains, however this was not possible.’

Mr Tisdell is critical of the pump and its installation and feels as though the design is faulty, saying the north-south drain is not connected in an

effective manner.

‘There is no drainage and with water lying around it is causing the disintegration of the roads,’ he said. ‘I think it was poorly thought out and shows the Council’s continued neglect of South Golden Beach.’

Rous water embarks on ‘future water strategy’ Local water authority Rous Water says it has ‘embarked on a major new project to develop its Future Water Strategy.

The Future Water Strategy will guide water resource management for the next 30 to 50 years.

‘The Future Water Strategy reflects Rous Water’s commitment to finding innovative and

locally appropriate solutions to the region’s future water needs.

Giacomo’s bikes a (4) stroke of genius Hans Lovejoy

They will do 200kms to a small tank of fuel and can be filled at any servo. A simple answer to rising transport costs is motorised bicycles, and there’s an operator that produces them in Ocean Shores – Fosscati Bikes.

Giacomo Fosscati has been building motored bicycles since early 2005. In the beginning he built only 2-stroke kits that were manufactured in China but they were not reliable enough, according to Giacomo. ‘I began improving the bikes by replacing many of the parts with better quality materials. In time this quest for a better product led me to the use of reliable 4-stroke engines with a lower environmental footprint.’ The little motors are also quiet and the advantage of them is a very long range, according to ‘The price of fuel is really pretty irrelevant when you’re getting 115kms to a litre,’ says Giacomo. ‘The freedom of a motorised pedal assisted bicycle is a totally mood changing experience. Travelling around the Byron Shire is a real pleasure.

The Tweed Valley Way over the range is so beautiful on a motored.’ Giacomo regularly rides from Ocean Shores to Murwillumbah and home via Uki and

Giacomo Fosscati in his workshop with a motorised bicycle.

Stoker’s Siding. ‘On a weekday the old highway is mostly deserted and the scenery is just exquisite.’ Motorised bikes are his chosen means of transport he says. ‘A bike that breaks down is of very little practical use to anyone who relies on motorised transport. I have ridden over 29,000 kilometres on these bikes, and have found that anything that can happen to bicycles has happened.’ From that wealth of experience, Giacomo endeavoured to

design common problems out of the Fosscati building equation. ‘This means that not only are Fosscati Bikes handbuilt to great precision but a tremendous amount of care and skill goes into ensuring that every bike is as bulletproof as it is possible to make it.’ There are several models available in the Fosscati 2and 4-stroke range and most of the bikes have local names. ‘My current project is to build a step-through ladies’ bicycle with a rear mounted engine

that will have panniers for shopping on the front. The bike must be light, reliable and manageable with a really good environmental footprint.’ Giacomo can be contacted through local bicycle shops in Mullum or Byron where his catalogues and posters are displayed or directly at Fosscati Garages, Ocean Shores, phone 6680 5740 or 0431 417 588. ‘All bikes are precision made to measure – hand made for pleasure. That’s my motto,’ says Giacomo.

over five years.

According to Mr Jones, the use of strychnine poisoning results in dogs dying in agony on Bali streets with piles of dead dogs left on the streets in full view of the public. ‘The elimination program which includes killing healthy dogs and pets as a precaution against rabies contravenes World Health organisation (WHO) guidelines which recommend vaccinating dogs and trapping/neutering as the most economical method,’ Mr Jones said. ‘Killing methods include shooting dogs with dart guns

loaded with strychnine poison in crowded public areas, laying strychnine poison baits, bludgeoning and shooting with handguns. ‘The elimination program is a kneejerk reaction by the Balinese government to a report of rabies yet there hasn’t been a rabies incident for months.

The Balinese government has also banned the use of rabies vaccines in 95% of areas and launched a scare campaign which has seen people killing their own pets or handing them in to be put down. ‘A so-called quick fix solution

using mass destruction ends up becoming a long term killing program with no effective end result. Killing community dogs improves the chances of survival for the remaining dogs which breed up and move in. ‘With less remaining dogs there’s less competition for resources which means they breed more and their life span increases. It’s not rocket science to work that one out. ‘Why should Australian taxpayers fund this outrageous and cruel killing which flies in the face of World Health Organisation guidelines?’

of Atlantis. Whether this is true or not, Arunachala like Chincogan is certainly a remnant of volcanic activity.

The ancient Hindu scripture The Skanda Purana says Arunachala is the heart of the world, the most sacred holy place of all, and that â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;residence within a circle of thirty miles of this mountain shall alone sufficeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to attain enlightenment. At the foot of the sacred mountain is a humble little town, Tiruvannamalai. It accommodates pilgrims who come to climb, walk around, and meditate under Arunachala. Over the years, quite a few of them have been drawn from within a thirty mile radius of Chincogan.

There are other connections between Arunachala and here. Until about 150 years ago around here existed what is believed to have been the largest single stand of subtropical rainforest in the world, The Big Scrub. Until about the same

time, Arunachala was also covered in jungle, where tigers roamed and streams ran down its sides.

By the mid-1980s, human pressures had resulted in the loss of nearly all the rainforest.

The mountain was hot and dry; there were thorns and goats, but few animals and birds. An Australian nun named Apeetha Arunagiri, who had been living for many years at the foot of the mountain, wrote to the Lismore-based Northern Rivers Rainforest Information Centre asking if something could be done to improve its condition.

John Seed, the coordinator, felt unable to turn down the request, even though the nearest rainforest ws a fair distance away. The Annamalai Reforestation Society was born.

Replanting either side of the pilgrim track going up towards the peak has resulted in a wide swathe of lush forest visible from the summit.

To maximise the chances of success, the involvement and support of local people has been implemented from the outset. Tree planting typically involves hundreds of people, from the start of the monsoon around June. The rest of the year, maintenance is an ongoing job.

The Arunachala project has expanded to also focus on environmental education, the establishment of nurseries, skills training, and credit schemes in villages.

A 12-acre plot of land nearby was donated to the project and has been turned into a Permaculture Farm and Education Centre, where another small patch of desert has been turned to lush green.

Ramana Maharshi also said that Arunachala was the top of the spiritual axis of the earth and that there must be another mountain corresponding to it at the other side of the globe.

Mullum ex-students group formed The recently formed Mullumbimby High School ExStudents Association Inc. is calling on ex-students, past teachers and interested others to sign on as supporters. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The idea of an ex-students association was raised a while ago, but the time has come to make it a reality,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said Robyn Gray, Secretary of the Interim Committee which has been working to establish the organisation. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We now have a memoran-

dum of understanding between the school and the incorporated association, and the first voting members have been registered. What we want now, are ex-students who have mailing lists of class mates we can contact about memberships, social activities and fund raising projects.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; A variety of memberships is available, including voting and associate memberships open to ex-students and ex-staff who have spent at least one year at

secondary level at the school (from any time in its long history), and social memberships for others.

Mrs Gray said that education funding cuts had created a need for a support group to provide money for small projects which used to be covered in the budget allocations.

Anyone interested in finding out more can email the Secretary at mhexassn@bigpond. com or phone Gil Lomath on 6684 6328.

Needle syringe cleanup â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who to call?

Unlike many other parts of the World, Australia has been very proactive in controlling the spread of HIV and other blood borne viruses. Needle and Syringe Programs began in Australia in 1986 and have been extremely successful in preventing the spread of HIV. A study undertaken by the Commonwealth Department of Health and Ageing showed that during the 1990s about 25,000 cases of HIV and 21,000 cases of Hepatitis C were prevented by Needle and Syringe Programs, with savings to the health system in avoided treatment costs of up to $7.7 billion.

The North Coast Area Health Service (NCAHS) occasionally receives reports of used needles and syringes being improperly discarded.

8 April 21, 2009 The Byron Shire Echo

The local Needle and Syringe/Harm Reduction Programs actually help reduce the number of inappropriately discarded needles.

The Program provides injecting drug users with disposal containers and education on safe disposal of injecting equipment. Most people, who inject drugs, do dispose of their needles and syringes safely.

Many people are concerned about contracting HIV from inappropriately discarded needles even though, worldwide there has never been a reported case of a member of the public contracting HIV through a discarded used needle.

In the event of locating inappropriately discarded used injecting equipment, who should you call? The Needle Clean-Up Hotline (1800 633

353) is a government funded service that coordinates the clean up of dumped needles and syringes across the whole of NSW. Please contact the Hotline with a description and details of the location to ensure safe disposal.

Alternatively, local councils and hospitals have bins available for members of the public to dispose of their used needles and syringes.

There are small bins situated on the walls inside many toilet blocks for the disposal of a small number of needles and larger bins strategically placed around the bigger towns for the disposal of bulk injecting equipment.

Contact your local council or local NSP for further information about the location of these bins. www.echo.net.au

Locals join in Kimberley protest

Would you like 6 months in Brisbane?

HOUSE SWAP - BYRON/BRISBANE

Robert Drewe

Byron Bay last week became the first outside community to pledge support for the suddenly environmentally-threatened Kimberley, the earth’s last great tropical savannah wilderness.

A crowded Ewingsdale hall heard many speakers, including the author Di Morrissey, Kimberley traditional owner Albert Wigan, television’s George Negus and singer Missy Higgins urge support for the non-profit group Save the Kimberley (STK), which sees the Kimberley becoming the country’s biggest environmental battleground since Tasmania’s Franklin River.

Missy Higgins enthralled the hall with a spontaneous performance, on a borrowed guitar, of Goin’ North, a new song written in response to the Kimberley threat. Earlier, STK had aroused strong enthusiasm from the performers and audiences at Bluesfest, including Paul Kelly, John Butler, and Xavier Rudd.

The new West Australian Liberal government of Colin Barnett, in gung-ho victory mode, intends to create a 30-square-kilometre liquid natural gas processing plant on the coast at James Price Point, 60 kilometres north of Broome, to develop the huge natural gas reserves of the Browse Basin, 400 kilometres offshore, in a joint venture with Woodside and other partners BP, BHP-Billiton, Chevron and Shell.

hour from Broome on the Dampier Peninsula, described

by Premier Barnett after one brief helicopter visit, as ‘dead flat land, there’s very little to see, it’s just a fishing spot’, is a popular eco- and culturaltourism destination, with a growing number of indigenous-run ventures, including the award-winning Kooljaman wilderness camp.

STK says much of the Kimberley deserves World Heritage listing and warns that Broome, its idyllic gateway town, would become ‘just another mining town’. It acknowledges the inevitable development of the Browse Basin, with its wealth of 32 trillion cubic feet of natural gas reserves, but says alternatives to an industrial precinct on the Kimberley coast would be to pipe the gas to Darwin or Karatha.

Environmentalists favour the Karatha option: pipe the gas there, to an already despoiled site. Premier Barnett, however, is so determined to see a Kimberley gas precinct that even if Woodside chooses the Karatha option, he says he will acquire James Price Point for future industrialisation.

Broome itself is fearful of the impact, and not just that the Kimberley Gas Precinct would be the largest single emitter of CO2 in Australia, the equivalent of 2.5 million new motor vehicles on the road. The large indigenous population will be denied access to traditional hunting, fishing, cultural and ceremonial sites.

The Broome Shire Council opposes the development.

These days the historic pearling town depends on tourism.

What about the impact on

the rich marine, bird, animal and plant life of the tropics?

What will 3,000 construction workers do on a Saturday night when Broome offers the nearest nightlife? What about the impact of increased air, sea and land transport? The destruction of recreational retreats?

STK (info@savethekimberley.com, www.savethekimberley.com) supports a joint strategic environment assessment ordered by the federal environment minister Peter Garrett, which runs until April 2010.

That gives supporters only 12 months to try to ensure an enduring future for this rare and pristine area.

I’ve written many times of Broome, a town whose beauty and passionate past are unique in Australia. It would be a tragedy to see it ruined.

New beach initiative thanks to Mullum Magic Both locals and visitors to Byron Shire will now be able to benefit from beach education presentations thanks to Myocum resident Jeremy Jacks, pictured.

Jeremy joined the Mullumbimby (Mullum Magic) Toastmasters Club just 12 months ago. Here he talks about his transformation from having a ‘very deep fear of speaking in public’ to having the confidence to start a new business giving presentations on beach education in Byron Shire: ‘When I joined Toastmasters I just wanted to get over my very deep fear of speaking in public, which is a lot broader than just public speaking. After 20 years heading in the wrong direction, I realised that my strengths are in the areas of training and educating people.

To be successful I needed to be able to speak publicly. I have always believed that we all have a voice, and I felt that I didn’t know how to articulate it. I am slowly finding that voice and am realising that I enjoy public speaking immensely.

tions on beach education. Who would have thought that two years ago? Certainly not me!’

Mullum Magic Toastmasters Club is almost five years old and has made a positive difference to the lives of many north coast people through helping them gain confidence and skill in ‘speaking up’ and following their chosen path.

Find out more from Megan Young on 6680 4702. my world has opened up quite a lot. I am now not paralysingly daunted by the knowledge that I have to give a speech or presentation. I get nervous, but I now see it as an opportunity to extend myself. I also can now see beyond the fear and I am able to focus on the intent of my talk.

‘In October last year at the Toastmasters Area Conference I conducted an educational session in front of 60 people for over half an hour. At the time I had only given three speeches with the club and this was beyond any imagining when I first joined. Talk about stepping outside my comfort zone!

‘The educational I gave was about singing and using vocal

variety. I have sung professionally in choirs for years, but to put myself out in front like that made my knees quiver. Being the presenter and the focus of attention was a very daunting thought.

‘But I found that once I began, I was on solid ground. Due to my (very limited) Toastmasters experience, I knew that preparation and practice were the key. I had prepared well and knew my plan. Plus the extremely supportive nature of the crowd gave me confidence.

I now really admire comedians who handle getting heckled!

Malcolm finds a bogey under the bed Volume 23 #45

April 21, 2009

The green gold rush In the middle of the GFC (Global Financial Crisis to some, Great Effinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Cockup to others), the move to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;green collarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; jobs holds out some hope as workers are laid off in their thousands. The promise of the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;green gold rushâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; outlined in the 2008 report commissioned by the Australian Conservation Foundation and the ACTU is beginning to be realised, with last week the WPC Group launching the first NSW Group Training program, supported by the NSW government, to build the skills needed to respond to climate change, repair environmental damage and offer environmental goods and services. The skills are not all new â&#x20AC;&#x201C; plumbing, electrical and gardening skills, for example, can be directed into the green gold rush.

Locally, too, there is some evidence of the shift to a green economy. Byron and Tweed councils employ sustainability officers, bush regeneration workers are in demand, resilience projects such as Sustainable Streets are sponsored by big companies such as NRMA Insurance, the Byron Region Community College finds funding for sustainability courses, and federal government rebates prompt a surge in insulation and solar installations.

In their foreword to the Green Gold Rush report, Don Henry, executive director of the Australian Conservation Foundation, and Sharan Burrow, president of the Australian Council of Trade Unions, note: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The current global financial crisis has in fact created an opportunity for Australia to consolidate its foothold in green industries. Now is precisely the time to act. With the right policy settings, we have an opportunity to turn action to combat our environmental challenges into growth of the green economy, securing jobs and industry well into the future.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; According to the report, global green markets are projected to double from $US1.4 trillion a year today to $US2.7 trillion by 2020. In 2007, institutional and private equity investors allocated $US73 billion in funds to green equity investments. Sustainable energy accounted for 23 per cent of new power capacity globally in 2007. The global capacity of renewable energy is growing on average by 15 per cent a year.

The report points to a shining example of environmental industry policy: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Germany now has 1.2 million green jobs.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; In comparison Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s green economy is currently estimated at $US15.5 billion, employing 112,000 people. The ACF and ACTU reckon Australian industry can succeed in six key markets: renewable energy, energy efficiency, sustainable water systems, biomaterials, green buildings, waste and recycling.

While the Australian governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s obsession with compensating big business for polluting by pushing the carbon reduction scheme is creating green jobs, it needs to do more in the other key markets outlined. And while the government through its crowd-pleasing fiscal stimulus hopes to stave off â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;negative growthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; (only an economist would use language like that), there is plenty of growth which the planet can well do without.

It should be obvious that the green gold rush cannot become a race towards bigger and better, although there are plenty of smart entrepreneurs whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll try to push the bandwagon in that direction. Green jobs need to be part of sustaining resilient communities, reinforcing local economies against the culture shocks to come. Global â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;business as usualâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; has proved to be a disaster and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;small is beautifulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is as true today as when E F Schumacher first wrote about it in 1973 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; see an application of some of his ideas at www.smallisbeautiful.org. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Michael McDonald, editor

The Byron Shire Echo Established 1986

n the old days maps of the southern seas used to warn off the unwary with the legend: Here Be Dragons. In modern times we have a new legend to frighten the gullible: Here Be Boat People.

These monsters, we are told, constitute a threat not just to our borders but to our way of life, indeed to our very survival. They may approach us in the seductive disguise of asylum seekers, pretending to be no more than fellow human beings in distress, but do not be fooled. These disease carrying, drug smuggling, child murdering terrorists are evil to the core. No effort must be spared in keeping them from our pristine shores, no deterrent can be too stern and terrible. These are the Boat People.

Are we really expected to swallow this nonsense? You bet we are, and in 2001 we did.

The Tampa election, with its slogan â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We will decide who comes to this country and the circumstances under which they comeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; worked a treat. The television news showed normally apathetic voters leaving the booths brandishing Liberal how-to vote cards and boasting â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Yes, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m for Johnny Howard because he knows how to deal with the towelheads!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; The Pacific Solution of deporting any survivors to foreign hell-holes and hang the expense proved hugely popular, despite being about as pacific as Genghis Khan.

Of course, it was all a sham; a few years later most of those Howard had sworn would never set foot on Australian soil were quietly admitted as genuine refugees, and no one even noticed.

At the same time the waves of aeroplane people â&#x20AC;&#x201C; asylum seekers established enough to secure tourist visas â&#x20AC;&#x201C; continued unabated, and still do;

again, no one notices or cares.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only when they make their way past the great protective sea by which our national anthem assures us we are girt that the fear and loathing cranks up.

And Malcolm Turnbull, political desperation having finally overcome whatever residual scruples he may have once had, is ready to kick it along. With Alexander Downer and Phil-

A few years later most of those Howard had sworn would never set foot on Australian soil were quietly admitted as genuine refugees.

by Mungo MacCallum lip Ruddock, those grim spectres of yesteryear urging him forward, Turnbull is prepared to claim that not only is the recent increase in Boat People the fault of Kevin Rudd and his bleeding heart government, but so is the explosion and loss of life on a boat last week. If they hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been on their way to Australia it wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have happened, right?

This makes as much sense as blaming Howard and his government for the far greater death toll from the sinking of SIEV X, which happened on their watch; but neither decency nor consistency figure very large on the opposition radar at present. After all, not long ago the coalition parties voted with Labor to soften the conditions under which asylum seekers were held, a move which included the abolition of Temporary Protection Visas. Now Turnbull wants them back, as a deterrent.

But he has stopped short of promising to reintroduce the Pacific Solution. Well, what a

From now on Boat People should be shot on sight. After all, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re facing a Boat People Crisis; The Australian assures us of this every day. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to declare war on Boat People, like we declared war on terror and war on drugs. Fire at will and take no prisoners.

Australians have never shirked a call to arms before and nor will they now.

And imagine the battle cry: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Malcolm knows how to deal with the towelheads!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Now thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a slogan to take to an election. Bring it on.

This was in fact Treasurer Wayne Swanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s challenge to Turnbull last week when Turnbull threatened to once again oppose the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bill to raise the tax on alcopops.

Assuming that Steve Fielding maintains his irrational stance, the second defeat of the bill after an interval of three months would set up the conditions necessary for the government to call a double dissolution election. Swan insists that the government has no intention

of doing so and indeed despite the state of the polls an early election on the grounds of a failed grog tax would be an unacceptable risk. But this does not mean that the government would not like to have a trigger ready if the right circumstances arise.

Turnbullâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relentless negativity is starting to be set in political stone; his Dr No image has become a popular nickname. If he continues to oppose every government initiative, Kevin Rudd will be very keen to exploit it. An election about alcopops might be off the agenda but if Turnbull keeps his promise to knock back the enabling legislation for Ruddâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s super colossal broadband scheme the opportunity might be too good to miss.

There would be no need reintroduce those bills: the trigger would already be there and once the campaign got underway the voters would quickly forget that the election was supposed to be about alcopops rather than broadband, and climate change, and economic stimulus, and industrial relations, and all the other measures for which Rudd has claimed a mandate and Turnbull has opposed.

Of course, there would be no point in a double dissolution if it could not be guaranteed to improve Laborâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s position in the senate; the partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tame psephologists must be crunching the numbers vigorously. But if Turnbull makes it an option and continues down the same political path, the end of October will start looking very tempting.

Almost all Ruddâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s programs span two terms. Locking in the second a year in advance would be quite a bonus. And letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face it, he wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have Malcolm Turnbull to kick around forever.

Is the love of money, evil or not, a profitable pursuit?

■ ‘The pursuit of money is the root of all evil.’

This timely message appeared over Easter on the gate leading into euphemistically called ‘Tallowood Ridge’ development. (Are there any Tallowoods left?) From the flocks of circling homeless black cockatoos and the bats that have suddenly taken up residence in the trees around my garden I would say they are all feeling as disconcerted and uprooted as myself and the trees. The sound of chainsaws and earthmoving equipment, where once there

was bird twitter and mooing cows, is enough to make you head for the hills – what am I saying, I thought I had?

I understand the pressure of population and the desire that many people have to live in this beautiful area, but for how long will it be beautiful when we allow devlopments such as these that pay little regard to community and environmental sustainability? At an average of $300,000 per block, this is not about providing affordable housing.

not) of the S68 sewage application. This is required before Woolworths can get a construction certificate.

When making their decision, Councillors and staff may remember Byron Shire Council’s submission to the Deptartment of Planning dated December 9, 2008, the summary of which is as follows: ‘The proposed sewage management arrangements are unacceptable. They rely upon untested outcomes with a high propensity for failure and on continuous micro management. System failure has the clear potential to create public health risk. It would seem inevitable that the pump-out element will be substantive and may well become dominant or exclusive. A full assessment of the merits of the pump-out element is essential.’

Council also said that ‘In the event that Council were the consent authority for the application, consent would not be forthcoming’. I trust that consent for the S68 will therefore not be forthcoming.

Your article on the floodtrapped mum in last week’s issue reported Council’s and the SES’s advice not to cross floodwater, even if there is a water depth indicator.

I’m sure, especially from the point of view of Council’s insurance, that there isn’t any choice but to give this advice.

However as residents of East Tyagarah, if we’d followed that advice we wouldn’t have been able to get to our homes for most of the last two weeks as there has been water over Grays Lane all that time.

So people here, as in much of the shire, rely on the depth indicators to make an intelligent decision as to whether to cross or not. Unfortunately the indicators are about as accurate as the St Helena speed camera and this week showed 30cm, when the shallowest route through the flood was more than knee deep (65cm).

Council staff were informed of the inaccuracy three years ago, with detailed measurements of depths, but brushed it off with a standard response that people shouldn’t be driving on a road that is covered in water and that the signs reflect the depth where the indicator is, rather than at the deepest point. Go figure that one out – when have you seen a sign at the deepest point of a crossing?

Since that letter, two more cars have been lost by people who made the mistake of trusting the depth indicators.

So the moral of the story, when you have to cross a flood, don’t trust the signs (and drive past the St Helena camera at 40km/hr) and hopefully Council staff will reconsider their policy and make sure the signs are as accurate as possible.

Irrespective of coastal flooding, all the other effects of greenhouse gases amount to a catastrophic crisis of global civilisations and environments.

Combine this with declining oil supplies which will result in petrol rationing within three or four years and we are in a Carbon Emergency.

The Shire Council must declare a State of Carbon Emergency and reallocate at least 30% of the total budget to renewable energy, resilience building initiatives, and biochar carbon sequestration.

Have you been affected by the floods lately? How would you be if the floods were permanent? If the Western Antarctic Ice Sheet melts, sea level will rise by 5m and permanently flood most coastal cities, towns, and regions, and create a global catastrophe. The ice sheet is protected from the warming ocean by the floating Ross Ice Shelf.

Recent seabed drilling cores from under the Ross Ice Shelf show that, at past atmospheric CO2 levels of 400ppm to 450ppm, the Western Antarctic Ice Sheet was completely melted. We are now at 387ppm and will reach 400ppm in six years.

The next question is how long the breakup and melting of the ice sheet will take. The new historical melting data is enabling much more accurate

Bicycle safety In reply to Bernard Grinberg and Robin Harrison regarding the rights of cyclists. I agree with you, riding a bike on these roads must be pretty hairy at times and scary to boot, but they are after all just old country roads not built for the volumes and types of traffic that use them today.

Bernard Grinberg says bike riders have the same rights to the roads as motorists and can legally ride two abreast. That may well be the case but on these back country roads that’s just plain stupid, an accident looking for a place to happen.

What the rule book says and the reality are two different things. Commonsense tells us to be aware of where we are whether we be motorist or cyclist and use them accordingly, and no, Robin, I don`t believe

phantom dauber has either a) mistakenly quoted the text thereby losing his point or b) deliberately misquoted the text thereby losing his point.

If the ‘pursuit’ has evil consequences, I presume the dauber judges the Prime Minister’s wife in the light of his text as she has ‘pursued’ profit (money) in her business ventures; if the ‘pursuit’ has evil consequences I presume the dauber judges all business men and women and all wage and salary earners in the light of his text as they, too, ‘pursue’ profit (money) in their

daily exertions. (Our dauber might be so rich that he does not ‘pursue’ money.)

Money is necessary as a means of exchange and its ‘pursuit’ is necessary to feed, clothe and shelter oneself and one’s family. No doubt our dauber is above this grubbiness.

If the dauber is criticising the developer, I hope he is not so hypocritical as to live in the Chincogan View Estate. Imagine occupying a house where a developer has ‘pursued’ money in the course of his need to feed, clothe and shelter himself and

his family! (In any case, every business and home site has been provided on a development of some sort.)

I advise the demon dauber to a) quote correctly after b) being sure of the meaning of his chosen text. I leave it to him to ponder the meaning of the correct (not– er – amended) text.

Finally, I invite the dauber to openly, not cravenly, state and defend his point of view here in these pages. I will not hold my breath waiting.

Desk jockeys ride the illegal development hobbyhorse Byron Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s courageous attempt to restrict holiday letting to designated precincts is a negotiated response to the social impact of noisy partying tourists.

The General Managerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s response to complaints about illegal development is reactive and arbitrary, and not particularly helpful. Fast Buck$â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defence of illegal development is pure hypocrisy.

The success in marketing the Byron lifestyle, the growth in the number and size of festivals, events and activities, targeting and attracting the young, affluent, party animals and seachangers, has significantly contributed to the wide-ranging problems Council must now address, including traffic gridlock, overloaded sewerage plants, anti-social behaviour, garbage and waste management, holiday letting and lack of affordable housing.

The proliferation of holiday letting and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;unauthorisedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; dwellings is a direct response to demand-supply laws of economics. Housing is not provided by altruistic landowners.

Self-interest drives the market, people respond to the demand because they profit.

Investors focus on the tourism market and fail to react

â&#x2013;

to the deafening demand because thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no profit in housing the poor. In true capitalist spirit, the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;blackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; market has picked up the slack, bypassing onerous legalities to ensure a worthwhile deal.

All sorts of seemingly law abiding citizens recklessly flaunt unpopular rules and regulations when they think they can get away with it. For every kind, considerate landlord/lady there is an equal number of arseholes exploiting the desperate need. In any negotiation, the tenant is at the mercy of the landowner.

Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inability to manage tourism and population growth, the inadequacy of current zonings, and the complex, pedantic and expensive building approvals and compliance regime has enabled chaos to reign.

Byron Shire appears to have reached the point where the need for affordable housing is so great, we must continue to turn a blind eye to all the illegal dwellings scattered across reforested land zoned for agricultural use.

The sewerage moratorium can constrain all official building, but landowners can illegally convert garages and sheds and build â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;studiosâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in Mullumbimby and Brunswick Heads that substantially

increase the load on our antiquated plants.

We can demand best practice from high profile developers in Byron, Coorabell and Main Arm but we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to expect a cash-strapped landowner in Goonengerry to install an efficient, non-polluting sewerage system after 30 yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; habitation.

There is often strong opposition to new developments, and genuine concern about environmental and social impacts, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re now told sticking a few cabins and caravans on your land is a benevolent activity that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any negative impacts.

No-one gets into trouble provided no-one complains.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s estimated around 6,000 people are living in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;unauthorisedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; dwellings in Byron Shire.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the public interest to provide adequate housing.

Basic health and safety standards are necessary. Tenantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; rights and public safety must be maintained.

Clustered housing can minimise impacts on the environment and social amenity but without sensible zonings and planning regulations weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just creating new problems. As the Gold Coast glass and concrete glitter invades the villages, will the hills be transformed into

Weighing up the social and environmental impacts against the economic costs and benefits is a tough sum to calculate, especially when everyone has a personal vested interest in the outcomes.

Ocean Shores One hopes that the letters last week were not a case of our elected representatives protesting too much, and that they are not being usurped by the system into a mere symbolic presence? A case of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;democracy being seen to be doneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

It raises the long term question. Are we heading into a Howardian future where the real power is in the hands of an army of beige cardiganned desk jockeys? None of whom knows what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like to stand in a dole queue or generally make ends meet. A super safe, legal, insured, regulated future.

All for our own safety and good, of course.

If this is our inevitable path then at least there will be plenty of affordable housing, which will unfortunately involve an electrified perimeter and plenty of re-education for all the nonconformists.

Including you no doubt, Mr Editor, and your hairy gang.

They should realise that there are thousands of us out here and that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the little illegalities that help keep us sane..

They wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to see us mad now. Would they?

Main Arm I thought Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d seen it all but the last meeting of Council stunned even this jaded old fart.

After ten years of stuffing me around, the Council staff finally got around to addressing an anomaly in the 1998 Rural Settlement Strategy that left my property in limbo. In light of my role in the current compliance controversy Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not surprised that Council staff recommended against amending the strategy in my favour; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not their favourite boy at the moment.

What is surprising is that the recommendation offered no argument or reasons to back it up.

Accordingly when I addressed the Council I told them that I have nothing before me to reply to and it would be procedurally unfair to ask me to make my submissions in a vacuum. I advised them to defer the mat-

â&#x2013;

ter until they had sufficient information.

As the documents in this item were confidential I asked whether perhaps the Councillors had been given some documents or information that I was unaware of. Mayor Barhamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reply: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s confidentialâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Ross Tucker jumped in to support her. (Nonsense; the only item that I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t entitled to see was legal advice.)

After Question Time the recommendation was â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;debatedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and it is then that the truly astounding occurred: not one of the councillors, either for or against, gave one solitary reason for voting the way they did! This, mind you, in a Council that endlessly prattles on and on about due process, accountability and transparency, as if mere repetition makes these things happen.

I give the following advice to Councillors Patrick Morrisey and Basil Cameron, whose vote cost me the amendment: a) your vote affects lives; donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t raise your hand when you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand the issues and canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t justify yourself. b) if the three Tuckers are in rehearsed agreement be very careful, whatever the issue, especially if Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m opposed to them.

Finally I address myself to Major Barham, who made some loud smart-arsed comment after the vote to the effect that I had only myself to blame for having lost: the personality, behaviour and manners of an applicant are not legitimate considerations in a planning matter, to my knowledge.

However Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll do a deal with you: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take a course in arselicking if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take one in ego-control and admitting error.

PS: A few days after the vote I went to Council to obtain a recorded tape of the proceedings just to make sure I hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hallucinated the whole thing.

Deary me; due to a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;technical hitchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; no recording was available. Oh, nice touch! So Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to hear from anyone who was present during the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;debateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; who has a good memory of what transpired.

Fast Bucks

Coorabell â&#x2013; Depressing to see that Coun-

cillor Tabart is running true to form: just as he excused himself (and his colleagues) for waving through the staff â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appalling investment policy (more than 70% of our savings into disastrous derivatives compared with Ballinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2%) he now tells us that he has, without noticing, waved through a top priority rating for the the harassment of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;illegalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; dwellers who have been lucky enough to find a home in someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bails or barn â&#x20AC;&#x201C;

and of the landowners who let them.

It is hard to think of an issue in Byron Shire that merits a lower priority â&#x20AC;&#x201C; just as it would be hard to find a long term Byron resident who has not at some stage been the beneficiary of such an arrangement â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I know I have. The decision is all the more infuriating when the shireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s housing problem has been so exacerbated by Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s totally inappropriate and ineffective Rural Settlement Strategy.

This issue has struck a chord because it reflects the institutionalized nastiness that is the experience of (not all) but so many in their dealings with Council. These issues are almost never brought to light because ratepayers quite reasonably fear the effectively unlimited power of Council staff to inflict huge costs, delays and penalties. They know â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they have seen â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that the General Manager will bring to bear all the resources of Council in defence of staff. Given the surrender of the elected Council that leaves no effective recourse outside of the impossibly expensive courts.

The issues range from the devastating, like eviction, to the depressing â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and readers may here insert their own list.

Just to look at the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;depressingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; end of the scale for a moment, why should Byron achieve record gouging of parking fines â&#x20AC;&#x201C; twice as much as the far more populous but less vociferous Tweed â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and, my own favorite, that particularly mean little policy of savagely fining those innocent enough to put a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;For Saleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sign in the window of their (legally parked) old bomb. And I see that Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s response to the Blues Fest is a promise of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;on the spot fines for illegal campersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, issued, no doubt, at triple time. How about a Council direction that rangers try to help campers find somewhere inoffensive to camp?

This is not the Byron Shire that we thought we were voting for.

The excuse we have been given is that Councillors have no control over staff, cannot get the information they need from staff, do not understand the information that they do get â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and are forbidden to even comment on staff performance anyway.

If that is so the only honorable response must be to resign en masse and show up this fiasco â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that, or at least go down fighting. Could they, for instance, very politely direct â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or is it beg? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the GM to replace the newly hired $70,000pa spin doctor with an Ombudsman? Maybe Buck$ would take the job.

Letters

Treated like mushrooms I am disappointed that Byron Shire Council General Manager Graeme Faulkner (Letters, April 7) was unwilling to respond to the specific concerns I raised about Council’s implementation of planned retreat in the new Local Environmental Plan (LEP), and instead reverted to vague platitudes.

As recently as March 12 Council was advising that all ‘planned retreat’ provisions were incorporated into the new LEP, which clearly was not true.

Now Mr Faulkner tells the community that Council will include any provisions of Part J that ‘it is unable’ to include in the LEP in the new Development Control Plan (DCP).

Council claims that the state government will not let them include in the LEP the key planned retreat clause – ‘should the erosion escarpment

come within 50 metres of any building then the development consent will cease’. Planned retreat doesn’t exist without this.

Council did manage to include this clause in the draft Byron Bay mini LEP. Council’s implementation of planned retreat is based on mapping of areas likely to be eroded by the end of this century. These include areas under immediate threat as Erosion Hazard Area 1, existing urban areas likely to be eroded within 50 years as Erosion Hazard Area 2, and all other areas likely to be eroded over the next 100 years as Erosion Hazard Area 3.

Without any apparent coercion, Council itself decided to reduce the 50m development setbacks from the erosion scarp in Erosion Hazard Area 2 to 20m, and delete Erosion Hazard Area 3 from the LEP.

I thereby ask Mr Faulkner or Mayor Barham to clarify a few points for the community: 1. Why was Council ‘unable to include’ the ‘planned retreat’ clauses relating to consent ceasing (J2.2. and J2.3) in the LEP? Did Council receive any written advice from the NSW government not to include these, or is it just conjecture?

2. Why was Council ‘unable to include’ the 50m development setback from the erosion escarpment in Erosion Hazard Area 2? Why was this reduced to 20m?

3. Why was Council ‘unable to include’ the mapped Erosion Hazard Area 3 (along with 1 and 2) in the LEP? It is past time that Council came clean with the community and stopped treating us like mushrooms.

present, federal governments have struck import and export deals with China and more import from them by us than export from us to them means Aussie jobs are lost.

While people believe that the plastic card economy isn’t a false one, jobs are lost.

If you don’t want to see your job lost or other workers put off, then I suggest that we all start getting back to a basic and more simple lifestyle (for those who haven’t yet), buy pushbikes rather than 4WDs for the family, recycle and repair instead of buying new. Grow your own food in the back or front yard organically. Let’s restore Australia’s economy instead of propping up other countries, for job’s sake.

Please spend your $900 given by the Rudd Government wisely. That’ll benefit Aussie jobs.

own son, armed with only a knife, to attempt to put an end to the homicidal maniac?

(I presume that using a rifle would also be uncivilised because you can shoot somebody from hundreds of metres away and therefore still not see the bloody results of pulling the trigger.) Is personally slicing someone’s throat a more civilised method?

And what about the risk to the lives of the people attempting to put an end to the homicidal killer? If three good family men, armed with only a knife, had to sacrifice their lives in order to stop the homicidal killer from bombing their local school and killing all of their children, would that somehow be more civilised than using a drone to stop the murderer? I think not.

John might suggest that there are other, non-violent, ways of dealing with these situations – like giving the Palestinians back their land and forcing the Israelis to go back to where they came from. Or letting the Taliban enforce their uncivilised rule over Afghanistan once again.

This is how, I kid you not, a boarding kennel is imagined to be an illegally hosted animal sex website. This is how poker sites get on there. Poker, get it? This, for pity’s sake, is how Christian sites get blacklisted, because some fool sees the name and lists them without checking.

Presumably the approach to finding drug labs in future will be to meander around looking for houses that have a sign out front saying ‘Get your crack here, junkies!’

All this is worsened by our government then having persuaded the German government to raid the whistleblowers.

So, the questions to our local MP are 1. Can you explain this list? 2. Can you defend it? and 3. When did it become government policy to deploy thugs against the truth?

The worst aspect of this is the demonstration that a major project is in the hands of incompetents, meaning that if this is their idea of actual child protection, then absolutely nothing is being done. This is window dressing on an empty shop, and it is an insult.

As a supporter of the Rudd government, I find this extremely disturbing.

Ways to kill John Scrivener, in his letter titled ‘Desensitised culture’ (April 14) states that ‘The use of drones to attack people is an abomination and an affront to civilised sensibilities’. It’s an interesting statement, but is it true?

Using unmanned drones to deliberately kill an innocent person would, of course, be an abomination. But what about using unmanned drones to kill a homicidal maniac who is intent on killing as many innocent people as possible and who looks forward to dying fighting rather than surrendering? Would that be an abomination? Would it be ‘an affront to civilised sensibilities’, or would it just be the most sensible thing to do?

John Scrivener is implying that there is a more civilised method of dealing with this situation. Could it be that he would prefer to send his

Draft environmental plan falls at the biodiversity hurdle Sandy Gilmore

As an ecologist and farm owner in Byron Shire for 34 years I am writing to alert those people concerned with how we manage this shire’s biodiversity values in perpetuity, and stimulate public debate, rather than accepting imposition by ‘experts’. Initially, it appears the rezoning of rural land to environmental protection would be beneficial to the Shire’s biodiversity values. Unfortunately Council’s draft Local Environmental Plan (LEP) has many inconsistencies with its guiding principles, which detracts from it being an integrated strategic document and promotes ‘process based’ apparent outcomes, not ecologically meaningful outcomes.

The Byron Biodiversity Conservation Strategy (BBCS) lacks predicted outcomes for meaningful biodiversity values, which pulls the rug out from under the plans based on it in the draft LEP. The underpinning information base (BBCS) is shaky, with no guaranteed optimal outcomes for threatened species or environments. There are no predictions of current and projected populations of threatened species, their viability now and at intervals out to 2,000 + years, the time needed

to generate demographically balanced populations of mature phase rainforest trees, and biological legacies such as large logs, on currently cleared land.

One of the silliest aspects is the wholesale adoption of state promoted wildlife corridors.

These are based on models of aggregates of species that are extrapolations to highly fragmented rural land, beyond where the data was collected (unfragmented crown land).

The state corridors ignore the shirewide distribution of the range of habitat quality of most specialised species which parallel contours, being either related to ridges or slopes or riparian or aquatic environments.

farm plans completed sooner rather than stalling off, and is a far more meaningful role for Council, which would be seen to support rather than strangle the funding of and motivation for improved biodiversity outcomes.

To maintain the health of regrowth vegetation is a huge time and financial commitment by landowners in this ‘weediest’ bioregion in Australia. If the draft LEP is implemented, landowners will be unable to access state and federal funds specifically directed to biodiversity works on rural properties. The recently announced NRCMA Biodiversity grants program potentially excludes owners of land that has an environmental zoning.

Strange corridors Consequently to link like with like the corridors should parallel the drainage network right up to the headwaters. By contrast the proposed corridors run up and down across major drainage basins intercepting patches of ridge, slope, riparian, aquatic, riparian, slope, ridge in an ongoing sequence, which is far removed from ideal.

land with ‘informed’ landowners supported by landowners’ and federal and state funds has resulted in some excellent biodiversity outcomes over the past 34 years. As a scientist, I interpret the draft LEP to reflect a world view/ideology/ land use paradigm that I suspect most inhabitants of this shire would not agree with. It also covertly assumes a bureaucratic expansionary paradigm that will likely consume a lot of money for little if any marginal benefit for biodiversity relative to the costs.

Good outcomes This money could have been better spent managing the biodiversity on land Byron Council has direct control of.

Alternatively the funds could be more productively spent contributing to public good outcomes on private land, since rural property owners have a responsibility for man-

aging the resource base that once did and can again support future generations of wildlife and people.

Property owners will be required to undertake a DA every time they undertake revegetation and rural developments that were previously performed under a ‘rural zoning’. This work is often ‘season/ weather, day to day’ related and waiting for a DA to be processed is entirely inappropriate and has additional costs in time, money and ‘consultants’.

I certainly do not think council bureaucrats will do a better job than informed landowners in deciding where, when and how this is to be implemented. In this regard a rate rebate to properties that have approved farm plans would reflect a progressive direction rather than the heavy hand of zoning restrictions with no direct link to meaningful biodiversity outcomes. It would also provide an incentive to have

Standards needed Much of the existing regrowth included in the proposed E2, E3 and E4 zones is degrading and will degrade further without appropriate management which in many cases will need funding by the public for the public good. The supporting documents behind the plans should have quantitative performance standards for incremental periods out to 2,000 years, if they are serious about efficiency and effectiveness. In summary the biodiversity aspects of the draft LEP reflect an anti-intellectual, short-term political muscle approach to planning.

In view of the long time required to get to the biodiversity outcomes we should be aiming for, it makes more sense to drop these so-called environmental zonings and develop a new set of riparian based environment zones that benefit water quality and aquatic biodiversity as well as terrestrial biodiversity values. It is likely too late to do that for the current LEP but it could be accomplished by the next, with clear predicted outcomes over specified areas and timelines such that everyone in Byron Shire now and for the next 2,000 years had something to be proud of.

Gornitsky watches the future grow through plants Peter Shepherd

Looking across the dam from his verandah, Michael Gornitsky starts to tell me the names of the trees planted there – Brown Kurrajong, Watergum, Brushbox, Sandpaper Fig...

He’s come full circle. It was the planting of those trees, every weekend, for months, that introduced Michael to his neighbours when he settled in the Northern Rivers of NSW. ‘It was a really good way to get to know people. We dug together, planted, had barbecues. When the kids were a bit older they joined in too. After the trees began to grow, we all kept on catching up. It was very good.’

Discussing the planting – a wildlife corridor to link riparian zones, a project started by a neighbour – led him to wonder about how plants grow, and why. That led to questions about the environment.

It’s a long way from his family’s history. His grandparents escaped the Holocaust and grew up in Poland and the Ukraine.

He remembers moving a lot as a child, country to country, his parents searching for a safer place to raise children.

‘They were good, simple people,’ he says. When he met his New Zealand wife-to-be, they visited friends in Austra-

lia and decided this would be the place – safe, humane, and beautiful – to raise a family.

‘Everyone here is so lucky, sometimes I don’t think they realise.’ In putting down roots, he wanted to learn more about his new world.

‘Lots of people had opinions, but I wanted to know. I wanted to be able to talk about it, and teach other people, the kids, you know?’

Enrolling in the Certificate II in Horticulture opened his eyes.

‘Now I study a leaf, I look at everything connected.’ We watch a family of kookaburras in the paperbarks; a mum mudhen and four chicks wander across the edge of the dam’s lillypads. He tells me proudly of extending the corridor all the way to Mullumbimby Creek; of still working with local groups. His new understanding of mulching and soils and planting is transforming his own place, and his conversations.

‘I want to share. I want to

give back. This is my community now, where my children will grow up. As part of our certificate we planted gardens in the hospital. That feels really good. I get to know more people around here; we can all watch how the trees are doing.’

In describing the power of community education, he’s describing the future according to virtually every marker of climate change and initiative.

Focussing locally. Networking, planning and working in part-

nership. Michael completed Hort II through Byron Region Community College – a college already running around 20 national vocational courses, from level II to Diploma, from Community Services to IT, from Business to Massage.

‘Community education is more critical than ever because it can quickly and creatively respond to local initiatives; to research and deliver high quality interactive learning experiences,’ says Bryon College Director Richard Vinycomb.

The College’s Living and Working Sustainably program unites local experts – many with decades of forefront effort and experience – with tutors, Council and non-profits, most of whom live and work in the Shire.

‘The program’s growing so fast it’s incredible,’ says coordinator Katrina Shields. ‘And the workshops are very passionate.’

Another sign, too: the waiting lists of students are growing longer.

Courses this term include backyard food growing, communication, composting, discovering native birds, bike maintenance, ethical shopping, tours which involve local farms and communities, even a feast with local produce!

These are the on-the-ground skill sets – both flexible and

creative – that are so critical to engaging with actual solutions – this is that idea of resilience.

Plus students have a chance to be introduced to a broader range of ideas and, importantly, to link with others working in the same direction.

The College has also recently been granted the pilot program, by the Department of Education and Training, to build and trial ‘Green Skills’ units, into both the nationally accredited Horticulture and Retail Certificates.

‘I’m doing Certificate III now, and looking for work,’ says Michael. At the same time he’s still doing local volunteer planting (recently the local Landcare group planted 1500 trees along the creek). At the same time he’s still helping to raise a family, tend to his garden, and look to the future.

‘Coolamon,’ he says, still watching the trees. ‘Blackbean, Blue Quandong...’

This is the language of engaged learning. For Michael Gornitsky the skills and the knowledge are invaluable, but no less than their crucial consequences – relationships, locally, and a future you can watch grow.

Careers expo addresses skills shortages In a tough jobs market, the 2009 Northern Rivers Careers Expo is becoming a driving force in helping local school leavers and job seekers find genuine long term employment in the region. Now in its sixth year the Northern Rivers Careers Expo is ‘the region’s premier careers event for training organisations and local employers to market to school leavers and jobseekers, who want to gain skills and career options,’ say organisers.

The 2009 Careers Expo is on Thursday May 7 and Friday 8, 9.30am-3pm, at Lismore City Hall, Bounty Street, Lismore The Expo aims to tackle skills shortages and unemployment head on by showcasing the range of career options open to the next generation of employees.

A firm fixture on the schools’ calendar, the Careers Expo is attended by students from years 9 to 12, from Grafton to Tweed Heads. Organiser Ashley Burke-Smith said, ‘The current economic climate is making the labour market more competitive by the day and school leavers and jobseekers are very aware of this. As a result we are noticing a mini “boom” in the training industry.

‘Several training organisations are reporting big increases in their application numbers and I expect visitors www.echo.net.au

to the 2009 Expo to arrive in greater numbers and be even more motivated than usual.’

One of the Expo’s sponsors, Director of North Coast TAFE, Elizabeth McGregor, sees the Expo as very important: ‘Learning and career pathways today are so much more flexible and offer so many options.

We at North Coast TAFE see the Expo as a unique opportunity for school leavers and the wider community to compare the offerings of our region’s

employers and training providers and make an informed decision about their future.’

The ‘Try a Trade’ section is highly popular with visitors.

Sponsor Melissa Hughes, vocational education consultant, Connect, comments: ‘This Expo is a great opportunity for young people to access professional careers advice from a vast range of people.’

Others, which grow in partnership with roots of old growth forests, are among the largest organisms of the earth.

One is known to be 2,200 hectares in size and about 2,000 years old. It permeates forest soil in Northwest America, sharing out chemicals and nutrients among its partners, the tree roots. Recent samples taken from the soil throughout this area reveal the genetics of but one fungus individual.

That type of partnership could have originated during a crisis that scientists identified 65 million years ago. An asteroid hit the earth, changing the warm sunny climate to dark and chilly. Many dinosaurs and other animals went extinct. Many plants did not have enough sunshine to maintain growth by photosynthesis alone. To survive, plants depended on fungi.

Only recently have we understood that a mychorrhizal relationship is essential for the existence of the majority of plants on earth now.

Already some flies are buzzing around an old mushroom. I try to complete the picture of this local food web. Does Byron vehicle exhaust play a part?

Ten days of heavy rain ushers in a cool season. The days are abruptly shorter. I am very cross, scrunching up my forehead. Like deadly poisons and pollution, worries are dragging me and the world as we know it to hell. But suddenly, on the verges, as if from nowhere, I see mushrooms. They pull me up short. What do you think you know?

We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know much about mushrooms. They are the fruiting bodies of an underground mycelium, which is a dense network of thin threads called hyphae. There can be eight kilometres of branching hyphae in a centimetre of soil.

We see that in autumn rains, a mushroom grows up, opens its cap and from underneath, releases millions of tiny spores into the air. New mats of hyphae grow from these spores.

But a mushroom is not of the kingdom of plants, animals or bacteria. It is the reproductive part of an organism from a kingdom of its own: the fungi.

There are about 250,000 species: can you name even a dozen?

Fungi are more like you or me than a fern or a paperbark.

They gain nourishment as we do, by eating other things. We animals may think eating is a mechanical process, but for fungi, the process is chemical.

The hyphae grow outward in length, not width. They search, branching out and re-connecting with parts of itself.

Depending on the type of fungus it is, the search is for a very particular source of food.

For some, this is a plant or animal, living or dead. For others, dung is good. For still others, the living roots of a certain plant are ideal. The mycelium might weave around the roots or even enter the very tissue itself.

In every case, the growing tips of the mycelium ooze complicated enzymes. These digest the food of choice. Then the fungal cells absorb what nutrients they desire. As a source

harmful microbes and chemicals, the water ran clean.

Stamets set out oyster mushrooms on oil spills. The fungi used the oil as a source of food.

When the fungi in turn became food for other life, the cleansed patch that remained held no toxins from petrochemicals.

This process has also worked with removing pesticides from soil. Although we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fathom quite how fungi do this, we already name the new technology â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;mycoremediationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;: remedy by fungi. In Ecuador, the Cloud Forest Institute is running trials with fungi to clean toxic sites left after oil extraction done by Chevron Texaco.

Fungi continue to startle us. Last April, mysterious fossil columns, averaging about eight metres high by a metre wide, hit the news. Although first collected in 1843, some 160 years were needed for science to gather its wits about this one. Dating back 420 million years ago, this find is now recognized as a fossilised giant

Having a professional cleaning of your teeth can not only improve the colour and remove recent staining, but plaque removal can also improve the health of the gums. Cleaning the teeth not only feels fresh and brightens the teeth, but the build up of plaque can be the cause of much imbalance in the body including bacterial infection, bad breath, impaired digestion and the beginnings of periodontal disease.

Replacing old amalgam fillings with new tooth coloured composites looks good and can be a great health improvement getting rid of heavy metals in the mouth. We also have biocompatible testing available

SHIRT OFF YOUR BACK

Mandy Nolan

Today I sat in a Mullum cafe and mused to myself as I watched one of the many blokes you see around here getting around with his shirt off. You just wouldn’t see that in the city. A middle aged man with ferocious clumps of greying chest hairs just sipping his latte in shirt-free oblivion. He read the paper. He ate cake.

Small gluten free chunks fell into his furry forrest.

Birds flew down and pecked it off. How carbon neutral.

Shirt free is a man thing. It doesn’t really work for us girls. In my early feminist days I shared a house with a very lovely lesbian lady who decided to live shirt free. She had the most fabulous boobs I have ever seen. What started as a political statement of equality became a Fellini fest of total titillation.

Even straight girls like me couldn’t keep their eyes off those bouncing mothers.

We had a house meeting and had to beg her to put her top back on. Culturally, we’re too tit obessessed to ever casually carry off shirt free for femmes. They

can do it in Africa, or New Guinea, or Central Australia where breasts are just a normal part of the body.

But us whiteys are just far too hung up to ever get away with it. Being white also makes people look so much nuder when they are nude. I suppose that’s why I always notice shirt free blokes. I often wonder what makes a fella think, no, I’ll just go the flesh T today.

Being an alternative beach side culture, skin is often worn as apparel, so it’s not something we even notice too much. I’d love to see it catch on with city men.

Straight men in suits who wake up one day and go for a flesh look. It could be a fundraiser… what about ‘Shirt off your back Day’: a fundraiser for homeless men. I’m just imagining Town Hall at peak hour, packed with business men, in shiny black shoes, pressed navy pants, a smart new tie and no shirt. I’m loving it. Popping in to see your local doctor, and hello, he’s shirt free. The bus driver is shirt free, as is the bank teller and the

cop who has just pulled you over for speeding.

Hang on, I think he’s pants free as well. Whatever you do, don’t blow in the bag.

There is a lovely story, I think, as memory goes (please correct me if I am wrong, I heard this about two decades ago), it was when General MacCarthur was to visit an island nation somewhere in the Pacific in the 1940s. The island women wore grass skirts with their breasts exposed.

There was some concern that the women would offend the westerners with their nudity, so they were asked to cover their breasts.

When the General and fellow dignitaries drove to meet the islanders, they were greeted with a long line of women, who, as they passed, politely lifted their skirts and hid their offending breasts. In doing so the official party had the most stupendous welcome – a vagina flashing salute!

Now there’s something that might work for the next Olympics opening ceremony.

ART AT THE COMMUNITY CENTRE

John Campbell

AFL MATC N THE DAY O EN RE THE BIG SC ALL CODES – LIVE COVERAGE (Formerly Chincogan Tavern)

Yasmin Reza’s Art had been performed in 35 languages around the world and won numerous accolades before local producer Iris Ray brought it to the Mullumbimby Civic Centre last month.

Premiering in Paris in 1994, it enjoyed extended seasons in London’s West End and Broadway. Winner of a coveted Tony, the Laurence Olivier Award for best comedy of 1998 and the New York Critics’ Award for best new play of that year, it has at last arrived in Byron.

The French have a scary reputation for intellectualizing to the point of disappearing up their own rectums, and Art is as wordy as you would expect any contemporary French play to be, but Christopher Hampton’s lucid translation cuts to the quick of it, never allowing the ideas to become bogged in verbiage.

Serge has spent 250,000 francs on a new painting for his Paris apartment and he can’t wait to show it off to his old friends Marc and Yvan. The canvas is completely white and, when he sees it, the incredulous Marc

tells Serge in no uncertain terms that he thinks it is rubbish and, worse, that Marc is a tosser for buying it.

Yvan has more pressing concerns, with his wedding imminent, and, hoping only for a good night out with the boys, he finds himself taking the part of the great appeaser as the others’ confrontation gets increasingly bitter.

Marc’s attack on modernism is splendidly reactionary but Reza is no mere demagogue. As the screw turns, Serge articulates views that are sincerely held and convincing. It’s terrific writing and it subtly leads into an investigation of what sustains human relationships, and what can expose their frailties.

Sandesh Gibney’s assured direction and Romy Dingle’s uncluttered design create an intimacy that sharpens the play’s themes, while Avikal, Rick Collings and Simeon Tinsley all give exceptional performances.

the previous Spoonbill albums.

It still maintains the same kooky Spoon aesthetic, but is a natural progression being smoother, fatter and fresher!’

nassid with Jackie O Spoonbill aka Jim Moynihan comes back to Byron Bay with his latest album, Zoomorphic.

Rumour has it, that Jim has had to wrestle crocodile headed samplers and tame fire-breathing speaker stacks to finally come up with this latest morpheliciously glitched up, full body vaudevillian beat creature. To my ears this album sounds like dubstep totally flipped out and coloured in!

Since Spoonbill’s first album Megafauna in 2005 and his second, Nestegg in 2007, Jim has become an internationally renowned composer, producer and DJ with a touring schedule taking him around the globe again this year. ‘After completing an OZ national tour in support of my new album, I’ll be heading on tour to Europe, UK and Japan for a bunch of great festivals and a bunch of club shows along the way. I’ll then be swoopin’ back to OZ to get busy once again on the national circuit.’

Q:How would you describe your latest electronic feast, Zoomorphic?

A: ‘Anarchic, quirk-funk, glitched-up kooky electronica forensically edited and sculpted to a well-bodied medley of groove-based sound art.’

Q: How does it compare to Megafauna and Nestegg?

A: ‘Zoomorphic is a more cohesive album and displays better production values than

Q: During the process of composing a new album, what are some of your habits in the studio?

A: ‘I tend to initially construct tracks as loops and build them into solid grooves. I often then have talented instrumentalists and get them to jam over the stripped back loops. I encourage them to experiment, let loose and do as they feel. Then I go back over the recordings and grab a note here, a small run of notes there and reconstruct new licks with the live recorded tones. This live human touch gives the music a distinct natural organic spice to the programmed and synthesized building blocks of the track. .’

Q: Whose tunes get played when you get sick of your own?

A: ‘I love Amon Tobin, Tipper, Bonobo & Bentley Rhythm Ace to name a few. But I also love listening to jazz, downtempo, glitch and sound-art.’

Q: Do you work with visuals?

A: ‘Yeah! VJ Dropbear has been part of the Spoon project for about six years. We perform live often and do a full blown synchronised AV show.’

This fresh batch of Spoonytunes is for fans of glitch-hop, IDM, breaks, psychedelic electronica, folktronica, dubstep, trip-hop and anyone that appreciates the free range funky fresh. Spoonbill plays this Thursday at Liquid, support DJs are Bodhi Seed, Ruff Diamond and Mauxuam.

Entry is $15.

Woden enjoyed an Indian Easter last week as the visiting delegation dominated Australia’s premier Grand Prix tournament, the O2C Doeberl Cup.

Once upon a time, kids used to have spiffing adventures when they went down to the cove with their dog Spot and overheard the sinister plans of smugglers speaking with beastly garlic drenched accents. The title of this might connote the Famous Five, but its teenaged siblings have zapped from the edge the universe to Las Vegas to outrun, outwit and confound the bad guys. The kids in question are Sara and Seth.

Sara is played by AnnaSophia Robb, the endearing girl from â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Bridge To Terabithiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; (long blonde hair and thick black eyebrows â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a peculiarly fetching combination), while Seth is Alexander Ludwig, a lad unburdened by charm or any noticeable acting talent â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to be fair, he does seriously perturbed with a frown of arresting earnestness. They have travelled to Earth in a retro spaceship (a spinning flying saucer of Roswell

vintage) and got into cahoots with Jack Bruno (Dwayne Johnson), a man-mountain cabbie who has done time for his dealings with the Mob but is now going straight.

Johnson, an ex-gridiron star whom we met in The Game Plan (2007), is a sort of black Hoss Cartwright â&#x20AC;&#x201C; morally upright but cool, genial and destined to be always cast as the shepherd to flocks of Little Joes. And heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got biceps that you wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe. He chauffeurs the junior aliens in

his indestructible yellow taxi from one near disaster to the next, as they are pursued by gangsters who reckon that Jack owes them another job, agents of the government who are, it goes without saying, hostile towards the intergalactic visitors, and a really nasty Darth Vader type who has come from the same planet as Sara and Seth and who wants to exterminate them for some reason that my waning attention did not fully absorb.

Sara and Seth can do all sorts of neat, non human things like teleporting, putting their arms through iron doors, making objects fly through the air at the flick of a wrist and talking to dogs, so why they should be so frequently imperilled is not explained. The story hurtles along at breakneck speed â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the first ear-splitting car chase comes before youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re halfway through your popcorn â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and there is no shagging or cussing, just heaps of explosions. Jack is rewarded for his efforts when he wins the heart of a pretty scientist in a tight blouse and the kids â&#x20AC;Ś well â&#x20AC;Ś I suppose it would spoil the ending if I let on whether they get killed or achieve their goal.

John Campbell

17 Again In Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s A Wonderful Life (1946), a white-bearded angel is sent from heaven to intercede in the affairs of a family man whose life is unravelling. The messenger is told that his mission is to make George (James Stewart) aware once more of what he truly values, for he is feeling â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;discouragedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

So many of our insuperable troubles are wrapped up in that word, are they not?

This film makes more than just passing reference to Frank Capraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s classic (itself a descendant of Dickensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s A Christmas Carol). The scene in which Mike Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Donnell (Matthew Perry) jumps off the bridge to save yet another white-bearded angel from drowning is virtually a frame for frame homage. Why the makers bothered with such a reverential moment is honourable but puzzling, given that their audience is made up almost entirely of young girls who are there to see heartFULLY AIR-CONDITIONED EVERY WED ALL SEATS ALL SESSIONS $8 ONLY

throb Zac Efron and for whom a Capra might be just another alcopop. Mike is passed over for a deserved promotion at work, Scarlett is divorcing him on the grounds of irreconcilable differences and his teenage children, Alex and Maggie, think heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a total dag.

After plunging into the torrent to assist the angel, he emerges muddied and drenched as his seventeen year-old self (Efron).

He is enrolled at the same high school as his kids (who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s him), falls in love with his much older wife all over again (she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t twig either) and begins to see the world with new eyes. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a great movie, in fact you could probably mount a convincing case to say that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not even a good one â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which was my intention when I left the cinema â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see worse and endure plenty of others that come with a painful load of self-importance. Under the influence of what I can only describe as a delayed Capra effect, I changed my tune on the drive home. It was late afternoon, with not a cloud in the sky. The setting sun was gilding the silhouettes of the cows in their paddocks after what seemed an eternity of rain and mould. A cocky water dragon, soaking up the last of the dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s warmth on Keyes Bridge, shaped up to the Commodore in all its tiny, loveable pride. Out of the blue, I felt encouraged and immeasurably grateful for the joy that has come my way.

Which is an enrichment I could never have expected from a run of the mill teen flick such as this. ~ John Campbell

In a remote part of Mexico, a dirt road winds through mangrove swamps and brings you out, eventually, to the Maroma Resort and Spa. It was here that Debra Gomez â&#x20AC;&#x201C; except she wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a Gomez then â&#x20AC;&#x201C; fell in love with the executive chef, a Spaniard by the name of Nicolas, and he with her.

Meeting Debra and Nic at their restaurant in Ballina is a little disconcerting: Debra, the girl from Queensland, has a dark, slightly exotic glamour, whereas Nic is all blonde hair and blue eyes. It turns out that Nicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother is English, hence the complexion. He left Spain (having been born in running-of-the-bulls Pamplona) when he was seventeen years old and, with his mother, moved to England. Hence the impeccable English. Debra had arrived at the Maroma about six months previously, sent there by the Orient Express group for whom she worked, to manage the restaurant. Speaking no Spanish, she found it a huge challenge, although intensive Spanish lessons were conducted every day. Which, one might assume, were reinforced once she met her future husband.

As for Nic, his culinary background is impressive â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not least for the time he worked at Raymond Blancâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stellar Le Manoir aux Quatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Saisons in Oxford. He spent three years at this restaurant â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a restaurant which boasts two Michelin stars; whose organic kitchen garden taught him the joys and the value of seasonal produce; whose owner instilled in him the imperative to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;always taste, taste and tasteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

At the resort he discovered the cuisine of the Yucatan region and explored and experimented with Mexican food in general. At this exceedingly upmarket and exclusive place everything had to be sterilised and disinfected â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it had started out as a house on the beach and so there were always concerns with issues such as drainage. It was, by Nicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s admission, a huge struggle, and so a year later he and Debra made their way back to Australia â&#x20AC;&#x201C; where Nic had back-packed in his early 20s.

A bistro at Rainbow Bay then a wine-bar at Maroochydore preceded a move further south, which was eventually to bring them to Sandbar Restaurant in Ballina, and the opportunity to go into partnership with the then-owners, who also happened to be acquaintances. Nic said

that they â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;jumped into the voidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; last September when they bought out the owners and made it their own.

I always get lost trying to locate this venue â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and yet there is no reason to at all â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it is just before the Shawâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bay Hotel. It opens out to the river and the sea beyond that: a long, light, airy space whose menu could be described as contemporary with a Spanish/Mexican accent.

Of course nearly everyone does tapas these days (with varying results) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and so one page of Sandbarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s menu is devoted to small plates designed for sharing. Eve has let me do the choosing, so I naturally over-order: three tapas for us to pick at before our main meal arrives.

The four jalapenos have the palest, crispest beer batter and when I bite in thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a spurt of molten Manchego cheese and a definite hit of chilli; the accompanying guacamole provides the perfectly soothing counterpoint.

A blackboard special of scallop and pork belly is spicy, unctuous, shredded pork meat â&#x20AC;&#x201C; hints of star anise and kaffir lime leaf â&#x20AC;&#x201C; beneath a seared scallop and a cool salsa verde, served on a scallop shell. The garlic prawns in their tiny sizzle-pan I could consume a casserole of: smoked paprika, crunchy slivered almonds, garlicky oil to sponge up the warm bread, the sweet flesh of the prawns. Our mains â&#x20AC;&#x201C; my ocean trout and Eveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s baked gnocchi â&#x20AC;&#x201C; are gorgeous too, but there are at least four other items on the tapas menu I mean to come back and try. Ideally for Sunday lunch, when thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a flamenco guitarist as wellâ&#x20AC;Ś On our way out we pass a basket of rosemary branches releasing their sappy, piney, earthy, sparky scent, with a little sign inviting you to help yourself. As if you need a reminder to return!

WINE ONLINE A new wine site called Boozemonkey.com is fast achieving cult status as the central point for both winemakers and wine lovers. A central source of information about all things wine-related â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a sort of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Google for wineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it offers interaction between companies and consumers as well as social networking features, tasting notes, wine reviews, regular updates from wineries and competitions. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever been tempted to write your own wine review then this is the website for you. Regarded as THE social network for lovers of New Zealand and Australian wines, it enables you to discover new wines and wineries and invites you to tastings and product launches. It currently has 2867 members.

SANDBAR CHANGES The other Sandbar restaurant up the road, Sandbar+Grill at the Domain Casuarina Beach Resort, has had a change of operators and management. Now run by The Pub Group, its reins have been taken over by Johnnie Karagiannis, a renowned restaurateur who, amongst other gigs, has worked for Sir Richard Bransonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Private Members Club in London and managed bistros in the Mediterranean. The Sandbar+Grill exemplifies casual beach dining, specialising in contemporary Australian cuisine with a menu which showcases the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seafood as well as produce from the Tweed Shire. Its former executive chef Greg Pieper is now concentrating exclusively on the more upmarket Bamboo at the Santai resort, also at Casuarina.

First outing for Far North Coast fishing The weigh-in for the first of three Far North Coast Fishing Clubs Association, (FNCFCA) fishing outings for 2009, was held at the Byron Services Club Sunday morning where the gathered anglers waited for the results of this important event.

FNC clubs including multiple teams from Byron, Ballina, Lennox Head and Lismore all participated in the event which started from the signout Saturday afternoon until the 10am weigh-in on Sunday morning.

Fishing in the mid afternoon on Saturday proved difficult as extremely strong winds and building seas combined with weed in the water to hamper most fishers, particularly those who ventured south of Ballina.

Fishers had a great FNC competition, with winners Owen Smith Competitors fishing on the above, with the biggest fish of the day, a 3.04 kilo flathead and beach in reefy areas around Trevor Mead right, with an esky full for which he won the bigLennox did best, with good gest bag. Photos Tree Faerie. bags of bream, spotted hind,

trevally and some tailor.

A few dart, whiting and flathead made up the remainder of most catches but fishing in the popular spots, fell well short of usual April expectations.

The leading team after round one is Byron Bay team 2 on 362.50 points, with Trevor Mead contributing 231.10 points to the tally – a great effort. Trevor also took out the heaviest bag prize.

Other good bags came in from Jeff Smith and Bob Davey, while Owen Smith caught the heaviest fish of the event, an excellent Belongil Beach flathead weighing in at 3.04 kilos.

The next outing for the FNC competition will be held on June 20 and 21 – a good time to be had by all.

Shiners round one The form guide for the Moonshiner 19s and seniors will read the same after Saturday’s opener at Kyogle – last up was an eye catching run into second place.

Neither side bought home bikkies despite mauling the opposition in the second half. The 19s dipped out 2012 with Captain courageous Shaun Arndell leading the way, big Wally Stewart muscling over the try line, Lenny Matchett-Oates converting one of many opportunities he created and debutant Liam Hannigan as composed as an old campaigner when it counted.

Mitch Taylor took over the reins in the seniors and was the standout player, with Shaun Arndell in everything again and young Adam Watson getting better with every game.

Sati Siamoa eluded nine defenders for a breathtaking try but the final score read 19-10 against us.

Both Drew Bartlett and Mitch Lambert put their feet up in Kyogle Hospital after good first half efforts.

Sati and Mitch Taylor will be at Bruns Sports Fields for training 6pm this Wednesday. No games this week due to Anzac Day.

Northern NSW Futsal finals Following last week’s region win at the grand finals, local Byron boys Nat Caldwell and Zeb Branton with Toby Barton from Bangalow and Alstoneville player Nick Steel competed at the Pacific Titles.

The boys were joined by 6 other 13 year old boys from accross Northern NSW to represent the region at the Titles held over the Easter long weekend at the Beenleigh arena.

Competing against 13 other teams from across Australia and New Zealand the 14 teams were split into two divisions.

The boys kept their heads up after being defeated by one goal in their first game. Over the three days the team remained undefeated to rank first in their division and qualify for the semi finals.

The team entered the finals against South West Queensland, who had also been the leaders of their division.

At the conclusion of the first half the score was 5 to 2, Queensland’s way. The team pulled out all stops and scored 5 goals in the second half, conceding only one goal, the final score 7-6.

The finals ended a long weekend of intense competition and comradery between the competing teams. Officials and reffs commented on the high level of sportsmanship, skill, gusto and professionalism shown throughout the tournament by the Northern NSW team, which is ultimately why such a large number of the crowd were cheering for the team even if they were Queenslanders.

It was also a great bonus that not only did our 14s team win their division but the region’s 16 boys were also victorious, playing their competition without goal keeper Layton Barton who was injured the week before. www.echo.net.au

Giants work hard to foil Ghosts John Campbell

The Mullumbimby Giants consolidated their fine start to the NRRRL season with a 30-22 victory over the Grafton Ghosts in a spirited encounter at Les Donnelly Field on Saturday evening.

The Giants made an awful start to the game, knocking on in their first set, conceding two penalties and seeing the Ghosts’ prop, Liam Bland, barge over in the second minute.

It was the visitors who were more threatening, being on the good side of the referee’s judicial pronouncements and showing better ball control.

Mullum came to life when half-back Chad Nelson was delightfully put through a gap to scamper forty metres downfield, only to see the pill turned over again. But the Giants were showing signs of getting their act together.

Five-eighth Scott Hogan put the Blue-and-Golds on the board when, twenty out, he cut back against the direction of the attack and the onrushing cover and sprinted (if that term is still applicable to the heady number 6’s locomo-

Three grades played Grafton on the weekend. The seniors and reserves put the Ghosts in their place, though not so lucky the under 18s who lost 14-10. Photo JCs Handicam

tion) over adjacent to the right upright.

The try was received heartily by members in the clubhouse and it obviously inspired Hogan. In the set following the restart, he chipped through and collapsed in a Shakesperean heap after being collected by

a clumsy Grafton challenge.

From the ensuing penalty, second-rower Andrew Moroney charged at the defensive line as though it were merely a brick wall, duly went through it and, with Dwayne Moseley’s conversion, the Giants were up 12-6.

A dubious head-high call by the ref helped Grafton back into Mullum’s red zone and, with thirty seconds on the clock, they pulled back to 12all at the break. It was a fair reflection of forty minutes of robust if flawed footy.

The hosts began to find more fluency in the second stanza.

They looked fitter and were able to take advantage of a Ghost’s sin binning to run in tries to winger Joel Christie, Moroney again and lock Moseley.

With the lead out to 26-16 and their opponents tiring, the Giants ventured a more expansive approach. Hogan, centre Jay Hampson and Christie threatened repeatedly with sweet passing raids down the left-hand outskirts, Christie’s second try being an inevitable consequence.

Last season’s runners-up, the Ghosts have been widely touted to be there or thereabouts again in ‘09. They have some big timber in their ranks and are a well-drilled outfit, but they were done over by the home side’s tireless pack and outclassed on the fringes.

It’s early days, but the Giants’ committed effort has stamped them as genuine contenders. s.

Win a prize for your arty safety helmet Its alarming to learn that young people under the age of 16 are the most frequent offenders when it comes to bicycle helmet use. This becomes even more concerning given that wearing a helmet significantly reduces the risk of severe head injury or death in the event of an accident.

Bicycle NSW and ABC Local Radio are currently running a helmet artwork design competition.

The competition aims to address the issue of young riders not wearing their helmets on the journey to school and within the wider community. Students are being invited to complete a helmet artwork that’s bright and stands out from the crowd, making being safe cool on the Ride2School!

The winning artwork will have their artwork used and made into a new helmet which will be distributed statewide through the Bicycle NSW Ride2School program.

‘Teachers often tell us that students arrive at school with ndlebars or the helmet on the handlebars sent all.’ says James even not present ams, the Ride2School Ride22Sc S hool NSW Adams, Program Manager.

Ring that Bell Local surfers made a dent in the Rip Curl Pro heats held at Bells Beach last week.

Lennox Head’s Owen Wright surfed a round two heat to beat world champion Kelly Slater, surprising everyone on Victoria’s famous beach.

Wright must have used all his juice as he was unsuccessful in his quest for the Bell being knocked out in round three by Jordy Smith from South Africa.

Smith went on to beat Mick Fanning in the quarters but was knocked out by Aussie Joel Parkinson in the semis and Parkinson went on to ring the Bell.

Kieren Perrow also had a great event surfing his way into the quarters where he was finally knocked out by Hawaiian Fredrick Patacchia. After a very tight first heat, with a mere 0.27 between contestants, Perrow won his second heat by over 5 points and a massive 7.5 points in round 3.

why they are not wearing their helmet students cite that helmets are un-cool. The competition aims to combat this perception, having input into the design will lead to students becoming more socially accepting to wear their helmet, improving road safety’ To enter the competition students are required to complete their entry on the design sheet which can be downloaded from www.bicyclensw.org.au/content/ride2school and then send it to Ride2School.

The competition is part of the wider NSW Ride2School program, an initiative to get more students and their families walking and riding more often, increasing daily physical activity and improving health.
