Feds give $8m to sport/cultural project Story & photo Eve Jeffery

The Minister for Infrastructure and Local Government Anthony Albanese shocked and pleasantly surprised those gathered at the site of the Byron Regional Sport and Cultural Complex last Thursday when he announced that the government would offer $8 million towards the new 40 hectare facility on Ewingsdale Road, opposite the Island Quarry.

The funding is part of an $800 million Community Infrastructure Program, the largest one-off investment in local infrastructure in Australia’s history.

‘This is a growth region, one of the largest in Australia,’ said Mr Albanese.

‘We will provide every dollar that the Byron Shire Council asked for.’

Mayor Jan Barham found herself almost speechless as she welcomed the federal government’s acknowledgement of the value of such an ambitious project.

‘It’s very exciting that we can now proceed with the entire project instead of it being staged,’ she said. ‘The Byron Regional Sport and Cultural Complex will facilitate local and regional sporting needs and will also attract sporting events that will bring tourism benefits.’

The complex is expected to cost

Onsite at the location for the new Byron Regional Sport and Cultural Complex Paul Irwin, Mayor Jan Barham and Herb Elliott surrounded by children from local sporting clubs avidly waiting for the work to begin.

around $14.2 million, so the federal funding is a significant contribution and supports a previous federal government’s Better Regions funding application for $1.5 million. Council has

also made a substantial commitment with the balance of the funds coming from loans, special rate increases and Section 94 reserves.

The Byron Regional Sport and

Cultural Complex funding submission has been a partnership between Council and the Ewingsdale Sports Field Working Group which included members of the Byron Bay Sports As-

sociation, community members and Councillors Barham and Tucker.

Two of the working group’s members, convenor Paul Irwin and Australian sporting legend Herb Elliot, were present for the exciting announcement and pleased to see such a great outcome for the project.

Paul Irwin said he was still numb from the $8 million announcement.

He was expecting maybe $3 million but hoping for $5 million.

‘This has been a five year process which initially started out with the recreation grounds upgrade,’ said Mr Irwin. ‘It was always acknowledged that facilities were inadequate for the area and the shire as a whole. What was needed was a facility that could not only encompass the local demand but could also enable the shire to have a facility that would encourage regional use for sports carnivals and representative use.’

Mr Irwin, who has three children of his own, said that he is very excited about the project which will hopefully be finished in two years. ‘People often said to me it will never happen or you might see your grandchildren use it. I never thought that way.’

The vision for the complex has changed from its original concept of a sporting and recreational facility continued on page 2

Court knocks back approval for trial Splendour event The Chief Judge of the Land and Environment Court last Wednesday overturned a Byron Shire Council approval for a Splendour in the Grass festival on the North Byron Shire Parklands site at Yelgun and Wooyung. CONOS (Conservation of North Ocean Shores Inc) brought the challenge against Council’s approval.

The Environmental Defender’s Office Northern Rivers represented CONOS in court, arguing that according to the proper interpretation of the local planning controls the festival was not legally allowed on the high conservation value lands at Yel-

gun. The matter was heard over three days in February this year.

CONOS President Bob Oehlman said, ‘We are absolutely thrilled that the land that we have fought so hard to protect in the past has once again been protected from inappropriate development. From a whole of landscape perspective this land is extremely significant as it is a wildlife corridor of regional significance.’

Solicitor at the Environmental Defender’s Office Northern Rivers, Sue Higginson, said, ‘This was largely a case of characterisation. CONOS argued, and the Court has agreed, that

the development application properly characterised was for a Temporary Place of Assembly being the Splendour in the Grass music festival. Temporary Places of Assembly are at law prohibited under the Byron Local Environmental Plan in the 7(k) habitat zone which is what a significant portion of the relevant land is zoned.

‘Therefore, CONOS argued that Byron Council did not actually have the power required to consent to the development. Splendour in the Grass Pty Ltd on the other side argued that the parts of the Temporary Place of Assembly in the habitat zone were

primarily a network of roads and because roads are permissible with the consent of Council in the habitat zone the development as planned was lawful and Council could consent to it if it decided to. However, the Court found that the roads are a fundamental component of the prohibited use of temporary place of assembly, and are not severable and therefore the consent must fail.

‘The Court also found that Council failed to reach the necessary opinion that the development was consistent with the specific objects of the habitat zone, which are designed to protect

the high conservation value of the land. The Court found that most of the evidence before it indicated that the development was in fact inconsistent with the objects of the zone and that this was a further reason that the consent must be declared invalid and of no effect.’

Mr Oehlman said, ‘The outcome of this case sends a significant message to developers and councils that local planning controls are not political instruments that can be conveniently bent and twisted to suit the whims of developers and landowners. Local

Kev Carmody in tune with kids Australian music star Kev Carmody has given his support to a new local project to help bridge cultural gaps through art.

Creative duo, local film maker Terry Bleakley and visual artist Samantha Wortelhock, formed Caterpillar Creative, a media company specialising in concepts for film and television, in January this year. Their creative intent has attracted much interest from the indigenous community, including the likes of Tania Major, Bill Harney and Kev Carmody.

Currently, Caterpillar Creative is working in partnership with Kev Carmody to produce concepts for children’s animation. Last Thursday morning Kev with a group of children from many cultural backgrounds participated in a photo shoot at the Cape Byron lighthouse as part of an upcoming pitch to ABC Kids TV.

Cyclist found dead beside highway at Tyagarah Police are conducting inquiries after the body of a cyclist was discovered next to the busy Pacific Highway at Tyagarah on Sunday morning.

About 7am, a member of the public attended Byron Bay Police Station and handed in part of a pushbike found badly damaged beside the highway’s

southbound lanes at Tyagarah, about 5km north of the Byron Bay interchange.

As a result, police from Tweed/Byron Local Area Command attended the location and found the body of a female cyclist in heavy scrub next to a bridge. A crime scene was secured by local police and spe-

cialist officers from the Ballina Crash Investigation Unit called in to carry out inquiries into the woman’s death.

They’re examining possible links between the woman’s death and a pantech truck found a short distance away in Woodford Lane, Ewingsdale, which had sustained signifi-

cant front end damage. The driver of the truck is assisting police with their investigation at Byron Bay Police Station.

Anyone who witnessed the incident is urged to contact Byron Bay Police Station or Ballina Crash Investigation Unit via Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

alone. The most significant adaptation has been to encompass further community and cultural use.

‘The sporting bodies recognised that the overall project was not only visionary but very expensive and the commitment of our community and our councillors to this project would certainly be enhanced by having a multipurpose venue for all the shire to benefit,’ said Mr Irwin.

Mayor Barham was pleased

2 May 12, 2009 The Byron Shire Echo

to welcome representatives of the cultural community to the gathering and expand on the multipurpose nature of the facility. ‘This site will hopefully also become the permanent home for the Byron Bay Writers Festival and the indoor facility will deliver the potential for conferences,’ said Mayor Barham. ‘The site will also provide a tourism information centre and amenities and the potential for a park-and-ride location.’

Several member of the

community group TOOT attended the event with placards, comment and questions which Mr Albanese requested be put aside on an occasion which he said should be allowed to be enjoyed as an exciting moment for the many local children assembled to receive the good news.

He also reminded Council that time was of the essence – one of the stipulations of the funding is that works commence in the next six months and completion be expedited.

Mr Albanese said that the government had done their bit, it was now up to Council to do theirs and get a start on the project within the required time frame.

‘The project funding will allow us to complete approximately 80% of the entire project,’ said Paul Irwin.

‘I am confident that this generous community will recognise the huge positives this facility will provide and ensure the entire project will be delivered.’

White powder sparks chemical alert The Fire Brigade’s biohazard team was called to remove an unknown white substance discovered at the Cumbebin Wetlands last Wednesday.

Brunswick Byron Pest Control and Police also attended the scene, which is on the corner of of Burns and Wordsworth Streets, Byron Bay. Sharon Curry, from the Cumbebin Wetland Trust found white crystal powder scattered around trees when she arrived to prepare the area for a planned Saturday planting. ‘We believe it to be suspicious circumstances,’ she told The Echo. ‘There has been trees removed from this area twice before.’

Initially sodium nitrate was thought to be the substance, as it is similar to Roundup. It is known to be explosive when mixed with water and then dried. However an email from a person calling themselves Rudi was sent to The Echo last Friday claiming that he was responsible for scattering epsom salts around the trees.

‘I would like to tell you that it was not an explosive substance

that was used to top dress the site, but epsom salts. I have had trouble growing seedlings there becaue of the acid sulfate soil, lantana and of course because of the camphor, and top dressed the site with epsom salts as it works as helper for

new seedlings and helps to get rid of the acid in the soil.’

Anyone with relevant information is encouraged to contact Byron Bay Police on 6685 9499.

‘All the neighbours we know of are supportive of the plant-

ings,’ Ms Curry said. ‘There is even a reward by a neighbour of $500 for anyone seen tampering or removing any trees.’

At the time of going to press, Police Inspector Jim Kain told The Echo the sample results had not come back from the lab.

Obesity skyrockets on north coast A recent survey by the NSW Department of Health has found that the proportion of north coast residents who are obese has jumped from 15.3% in 2007 to 20.6% in 2008.

North Coast Area Health Service (NCAHS) Nutrition and Physical Activity Coordinator, Jillian Adams, is concerned about this recent rise and listed the possible consequences of obesity.

‘Obesity increases the risk of heart disease, some cancers, stroke, type 2 diabetes, gall bladder disease, polycystic ovarian syndrome, osteoarthritis, back pain, gout, stress incontinence, erectile dysfunction and sleep apnoea,’ Ms Adams said.

To help combat this rising level of overweight and obesity, NSW Health has launched The Get Healthy Information

Brisbane to Cairns 2009

and Coaching Service – a free, confidential telephone service that helps people in NSW make lifestyle changes to get their weight back toward a healthy level.

‘People who are overweight or obese or who would just like some help in improving their diet and being more active can use this service for free,’ Ms adams said. Don’t wait until you are obese before you do something about it – keep an eye on your waist measurement.

‘For most women, a waist circumference over 80cm puts you at an increased risk and more than 80cm for men. It is important that everyone in NSW has the opportunity to get help to reach their full heath potential, no matter what their income is or where they live.

‘You can call the service to get information or you can get

coaching advice as well. There are up to ten coaching calls over six months to help motivate you. The coaches are really friendly and will help with developing personal health goals, maintaining motivation and creating solutions for successful lifestyle change.’

The Get Healthy Information and Coaching Service is available on 1300 806 258 Monday to Friday 8am-8pm or at www.

Obesity is classified as having a Body Mass Index of 30 or more. Body Mass Index is calculated as weight (in kilograms) divided by height (in metres) squared.

Levels of 30 or more dramatically increase your risk of developing a ‘C’ chronic disease such as some cancers, heart disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes.

Fresh chords resound for youth Story & photo Eve Jeffery

Local youth put the Brunswick Heads Memorial Hall’s new POPE licence to good use last Saturday night when several young musicians put on a show to celebrate the hall’s reinvention.

Cr Diane Woods and the Bruns Memorial Hall Committee helped secure the POPE licence and have supported the use of the hall for youth events.

Around 250 youth and families of all ages took the opportunity to enjoy that facility, creating an old time dance hall feel with a modern vibe.

‘Fresh Chords’ is the second event sponsored by Indent and MusicNSW, who grant funding and resources to enable young people to stage music events and gain professional experience in the music industry as well as making sure that the events provide an alcohol and drug free environment for youth to enjoy the entertainment.

The main aim of this event from the performers’ perspective is to gain some exposure for the bands, provide live entertainment for all ages and get the Memorial Hall back into action.

The response from the audience on Saturday was very

er bands and soloists kept the entertainment coming as the audience were treated to great music, raffles, games and prizes all for a gold coin donation.

Alice Blue guitarist Angeline Polidano said that this type of event was great for bands starting out.

‘We got a good response from the crowd,’ said Angeline.

‘They seemed to enjoy the music, and have a good time. Gigs are usually always fun and it’s great for performing experience and we all enjoyed playing to this crowd as there were many familiar faces.’

The Indent grant group met weekly with the Brunswick Community Care Council leading up to the event to organise promotional material, including posters and banners.

Angeline also flew to Sydney to the Indent open day to find out more about the music industry and to help improve the gig and get new ideas the event.

Angeline says the hall is a perfect venue for this type of gig.

Anti aerial spraying push gains momentum Activist real estae agent Rose Wanchap reports that voluntters are ready to remove bitou bush by hand as an alternative to aerial spraying of herbicides.

NPWS’s latest round of spraying on public lands is expected to start on May 18.

‘We now have 200 people willing to help pick the bitou bush by hand and hopefully those numbers will double and treble as we get closer to the end of this week,’ Ms Wanchap said. ‘We plan on meeting on Saturday May 16 at 10am.

‘We have many among us

who are professionals in the field who can assist with an efficient and successful clearing and replanting program.

‘Cr Richard Staples will be submitting a motion at Thursday’s council meeting to request approval be withdrawn regarding the aerial spraying of bitou bush in Council managed areas. I will be encouraging our “bitou harvesters” to attend this meeting.

‘I have spoken with Scott Hetherington, BSC, and Lisa Wellman, DECC, to try to understand their points of view

but ultimately it would seem to come back to cost. The cost of using on-the-ground staff to tackle this problem is far higher than the cost of aerial spraying.

But there are two kinds of costs involved, one monetary the other not so easy to calculate – the cost to the environment, to the humans, animal and plant life that may be affected by this way of distribution and use of herbicides.

‘I agree the cost is inhibitive to ground clear the bush but where I disagree with Scott and Lisa is that we can make

a difference if we gather and keep motivated a large enough number of people to do the ground work. I believe we can do this.

‘There is a great deal of information and one can always interpret the findings to suit one’s argument but even if there is a small measure of doubt, even if there is some danger to our selves and our environment, we must say no to aerial spraying of herbicide for a “Chemical Free Shire”.’

Conference to tackle koala recovery action plan The International Day for Biological Diversity, Friday May 22, will see Friends of the Koala presenting a one-day conference on koala protection and conservation issues with a Northern Rivers focus. A mix of papers and presentations by academics, a practising ecologist, an environmental lawyer, a wildlife veterinarian and researcher, and wildlife rehabilitators will set the scene for the development of an action agenda to take to all three levels of government.

Friends of the Koala president Lorraine Vass said, ‘The federal government’s Review of Progress in Implementing the 1998 National Koala Conservation Strategy and the State government’s Recovery Plan for the Koala, both released within the past six months, are significant for their promise of a rethink in koala conservation policy.

‘The timing is right for them to hear what those who are working with wild koalas and dealing with habitat protection

every day have to say and what actions they think governments need to take.

The Minister for the Environment. Peter Garrett, has kept the 2006 promise made

by Senator Campbell to reassess the koala, yet again, for possible listing under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.

A new national conservation strategy is expected to be out on exhibition for public comment in the next few months.

‘It is a shame Council did not reach the right decision in the first instance and afford the land the protection that the law requires. We are very grateful to the Environmental Defender’s Office Northern Rivers and our Counsel Mr Eastman and Senior Counsel Mr Tomassetti. The environment had the A team on its side.

‘We hope now that the owners of the land, Billinudgel Property Pty Ltd, will continue the good environmental rehabilitation works that it has begun to enhance the wildlife corridor functions of the land, and that it finds another more appropriate site for its festival event.’

Mat Morris, General Manager for North Byron Shire Parklands, said Chief Justice Preston ‘had no issue with the environmental integrity of what we are proposing. He had no issue with the suitability of the site.

‘We are held up this time by a technical issue relating to the judge’s view of Council’s processing of our application.

It is frustrating that we have further delays due to no fault of our own or what we are proposing.

‘We will continue our efforts to secure approval to see North Byron Shire Parklands become a respected sustainable event venue. In the meantime our intensive work on improving the biodiversity values of the site will go on.’

The Coalition for Festival Sanity welcomed the judgment. Spokesperson for CFFS, Mac Nicolson, said, ‘Although this is only the first victory in our fight to stop the development of the festival site, it could prove to be decisive as Council is now unable to approve the use of the environmental protection zone within the proposed site as an access to the festival area.

‘We feel vindicated as a community that we have taken this stance and we will continue to throw whatever resources we can muster in order to stop this proposal once and for all and by doing so send a message to all those planners and proposers of developments that it is not just about vehicular access, the motor car and dollars.

‘The local community must be consulted and environmental considerations respected. It would now make a lot of sense for Council to get its house in order and proceed with an Events Policy and Social Impact policies that are compatible with the community’s wishes.’

Planning impacts

some landowners in the Shire.

For example if the Court’s logic is applied, a future application for a house in a rural zone which requires a driveway across a 7(k)(Habitat) or other environment zone, would have to be refused.

‘The judgement left the door open for Splendour to lodge a separate application for standalone permissible development in the 7(k) zone such as roads or agriculture. The Court said Council is obliged to assess such an application on the basis of the information contained in the DA and principles of characterisation referred to in the judgement.

‘This has the potential to encourage piecemeal applications when Council has historically tried to encourage complete applications which disclose to the Council and the community all aspects of development proposals. This is not as transparent as single complete applications and encourages multiple applications rather than comprehensive ones.

‘This not only increases the number of applications Council has to assess but can often lead to poor planning outcomes as well.

‘The Court decision means that the Splendour application remains undetermined.

‘The second reason the Court found the consent to be invalid was that Council had not properly considered how the development satisfied the 7(k) zone objectives. The judgement is an indication that Council will need to review the way it presents reasons in assessment reports.’

Council’s director of planning Ray Darney said the judgement could have ‘significant impacts’ for Byron Shire.

‘The judge deemed that the development application did not seek consent to construct the roads for the purpose of agriculture or other permissible uses,’ he said. ‘As the roads were an integral part of the development application, the Court reasoned the entire consent was invalid.

Mullum High audits its resources

Story & photo Lou Beaumont

Mullumbimby High School has teamed up with Byron Shire Council and Rous Water to conduct audits around the school with the help of Year 7 students. Students were guided through litter audits, water audits and waste audits. The collaboration is part of the school’s Environmental Management Plan and Council’s Footsteps to Sustainability program.

Principal Ian Graham said, ‘The Environmental Management Plan has been in place for a couple of years now. It involves embedding an environmental education plan within our curriculum, grounds management and resource management.

‘In addition to the audit project we are running a cleanup challenge. Recently we surveyed every student. Almost everyone said that a clean school environment was something they wanted, but clearly their words and actions are not the same.

As of Monday [May 11] we are issuing a challenge where all students are given three days to

Barbara Jensen, Rous Water’s Community Education Officer, runs Year 7 students through a water audit on the taps in the cooking room at Mullumbimby High School. The taps had aerators which is good practice as they slow the flow of water, but they were not spring loaded which is bad practice as it allows the taps to remain on longer than necessary.

ensure the grounds are spotless.

Cleanup will continue until the goal has been achieved.’

Head teacher Donna Pearson told The Echo, ‘The school should be modelling best practice to show the kids what to do

at home and in future workplaces. We want to highlight areas that need to be improved such as toilets that aren’t dual flush, taps that aren’t spring loaded and making students aware where their rubbish ends

up when they drop it on school grounds. Year 9 students are recording the auditing process and will be involved in mentoring the younger students during further sustainability work in coming months.’

Pubs and clubs relay gambling help message Eye-catching drink coasters, posters and staff badges started to appear in local pubs and clubs from Monday May 11 as venues join with the NSW government’s Gambling Help services to promote Responsible Gambling Awareness Week.

The pop-art style coasters are the result of a state-wide design competition for highschool students. Winning designer Isobel Nutt, 15, who hails from Woodburn and attends Evans River Community School, said she was inspired by Andy Warhol and her ‘drama queen sister’ to create the work. More than a million pieces of print material will appear in venues across the state this week.

‘I’m excited to have people

see my artwork. And I hope it can successfully inform people about the very real issue of problem gambling in our society,’ she said.

ClubsNSW, the Australian Hotels Association (NSW) and the NSW government have worked together on the project. The government funds free Gambling Help services throughout the state, including a 24-hour phone line, online self-help material and online and face to face counselling.

In the Northern Rivers district, face to face Gambling Help services are available through The Northern Rivers Gambling Counselling Service on 6687 2520.

John Kerr from The Northern Rivers Gambling Coun-

selling Service said that other awareness activity during the week will include the launch of new resources for TAFE and high school counsellors and a week-long ‘Time Out’ room at Star City Casino where patrons can talk to a Gambling Help responsible gambling advisor.

‘This is a great opportunity to take our message inside venues and reach millions of people this week. Our local clubs and pubs have been great in supporting us.’

Steve Bortolin, general manager of Lismore Workers’ Club, said that local pubs and clubs were keen to take part in Responsible Gambling Awareness Week.

‘By talking about problem gambling, we can promote

existing counselling services as well as get people thinking about how much they can afford to gamble, before it becomes a problem,’ he said.

A scene from the movie musical Were The World Mine, part of the Mardi Gras film festival.

On May 15, 16 and 17 Dendy Byron Bay Cinemas, in association with Queer Screen, is presenting four of the best films from the Sydney Mardi Gras Film Festival.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be pre-film drinks in the foyer from 8pm on the Friday opening night, before the Byron premiere of Were The World Mine. If Shakespeare had written a gay musical this would be its modern day remake, say promoters.

I Canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Think Straight, screening on Saturday at 4pm, is a romantic tale of star-

crossed lovers and cross-cultural confusion. Sunday May 17 starts with the Pedro Almodovar inspired Spanish murder romp Boystown (Chuecatown) screening at 4.30pm.

The final film on Sunday is Patrick, Age 1.5, a spirited romantic comedy from Sweden about the ups and downs of adoption.

Were The World Mine and Patrick, Age 1.5 are both rated M, the other two films are unclassified which means admission is only for over 18s.

Friday May 15 opening night

tickets are $16 and include complimentary drinks before the film, and tickets for the Saturday and Sunday films are $13 or $10 for concession and Club Dendy members.

May 17 is a particularly auspicious date to host the Mardi Gras Film Festival, as itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also known as IDAHO, the International Day Against Homophobia celebrated on May 17 because thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when homosexuality was removed from the International Classification of Diseases of the World Health Organisation â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in 1992!

WPP establishes key shire issues Margo Sutton

On Sunday May 3 in Byron a symposium was held to discuss important community issues.

As a result water, affordable housing, establishing a local economy and how to bring the Will of the People project (WPP) to everyone in the Byron Shire were established as key issues. Whenever anyone wants to raise an issue or discuss existing issues, they can go to the WPP website willofthepeopleproject.net.

Anyone can bring up an issue of concern on the website to be discussed at the web forum. By having this online service people can refer to it in their own time, which does away with the need for constant physical meetings.

Gabi Bohnet was the speak-

er at Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s forum with the theme of sustainable and democratic development of our human habitat.

This particular presentation gave a compelling overview of sustainable housing and mixed use development which has been achieved in the town of Freiburg, Germany, through forming owner and tenant cooperatives which became not for profit developers themselves.

This achieved 15 to 20 per cent savings for apartment and house owners. The enjoyment of participating in the design of both the buildings and the public spaces gave the residents great satisfaction and love for their environment.

to Tweed council planners who were fascinated to see how the town of Freiburg evolved.

The major breakthrough in Freiburg was that the city council allowed a new planning approach that involved the participation of residents in the planning process.

The knowledge and planning ideas of citizens and residents were harnessed to come up with new solutions, for example, different ways of transport which led to car parkingfree living, renewable energy use, water conservation and a successful collective planning process which resulted in an attractive and climate friendly way to live.

SCU to offer midwifery degree Southern Cross University has announced a new course aimed at educating the midwives of the future.

The three-year Bachelor of Midwifery degree will be available from SCU Lakeside at Caloola Drive in Tweed Heads from 2010 and is set to produce graduates with in-depth specialist knowledge, skills, values and experience in the full range of contemporary midwifery practice.

Southern Cross University Associate Professor of Midwifery Heather Hancock, pictured right, said the degree course, which will be the only one of its kind between Sydney and Brisbane, responded to the need for more evidence-based and woman-centred education for midwives.

‘Research has shown that women have less likelihood of losing their baby in the first 24 weeks of pregnancy if they have midwifery-led care,’ said Professor Hancock.

‘Problems are picked up more quickly because the women are able to develop close, sustained and ongoing relationships with their own midwife. Accordingly, women have a greater level of satisfaction with the care they receive, are more likely to keep their appointments and take responsibility for their health and wellbeing, and there is a greater likelihood of improved outcomes for both mother and baby.

‘Following the National Maternity Services Review, Federal Health Minister Nicola Rox-

on recently acknowledged the importance of midwives, and the need for changes – such as granting provider numbers and prescribing rights – which will enable them to work effectively to their full scope of practice and increase their accountability.

‘Sadly, we are experiencing a significant shortage of midwives in Australia, so this degree aims to address that issue as well as provide the advanced specialist education needed to prepare them for an increased role.’

The Bachelor of Midwifery degree course, which will be assessed for accreditation from the NSW Nurses and Midwives’ Board in the coming months, will educate students in new models of practice focusing on woman-centred care, and will feature a variety of clinical and community experiences to expose students to all aspects of midwifery practice.

Students undertaking the course will receive the benefit of Professor Hancock’s considerable experience, which includes more than 20 years of

teaching, research and practice in the field of midwifery. She has recently spent four years in the Northern Territory involved in perinatal primary health in Indigenous communities and helped develop the Northern Territory Government Home Birth Service and Midwifery Group Practice at the Alice Springs Hospital which includes women from remote communities.

Professor Hancock is hopeful that the course will also help towards improving health outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women in pregnancy and birth, and is encouraging Aboriginal women to enter the program to become midwives.

‘In the course of one pregnancy, labour and birth a woman may end up seeing 60 different people, all with different approaches and ideas under the current systems of fragmented care,’ said Professor Hancock.

‘The message from women themselves is very strong that they do not find it acceptable to see someone different every time – and now we have evidence to back that up.

‘Every woman should be able to have a midwife who they can know and trust across their pregnancy, labour, birth and beyond, who can provide effective care centered on the woman, collaborate, refer and consult where necessary, and enable the woman to achieve a satisfying experience throughout – and this course aims to help make that happen.’

Celebrating the old and recycled at Brunswick Heads Eve Jeffery

This year the golden oldie, the Old and Gold Festival, will be celebrating all things old, second hand and recycled on Saturday June 7.

The festival, which attracts thousands of visitors to Brunswick Heads each year, puts the focus on preloved and secondhand goods, enhancing the idea that recycling your stuff is good for the environment, makes good economic sense, especially in this current climate, and it’s also fun.

The historically minded will sup their fill at the event with the Bruns Historical Talks and Town Walk with Frank Mills, jewellery valuations and copper penny fretwork demos, Bashforth’s vintage tank, old car, garage memorabilia and bikes and trikes display and the Brunswick Valley Historical Society display including ‘Fish n Chips’ 50th memorabilia collection.

Our inner greenie will be catered for with a Mobile (phone) Muster, a Cartridges 4 Planet Ark collection, recycled bikes, ‘Greenhouse’ fun, and Landwww.echo.net.au

care, Dunecare and Rainforest Rescue information will be available.

Last year’s inaugural marbles championships was so successful that this year will see the Australian Marbles Championships be hard fought in the dust and alleyways of town, but the drawcard for this event is the treasure. Precious.

For the modern fossicker, the various treasure hunting opportunities at the festival, including the All Town Garage Sale, Secondhand and Collectables Fair at the Memorial Hall and ‘Ye Olde Church Fair’ at Our Lady of Lourdes on Mullumbimbi Street, provide more treasures than you can

shake a Royal Doulton at and the Bruns 8 secondhand shops will provide a ‘Trail’ and clearance sales all over town.

Local trader Mandy Thane is the owner of Yoyo – sECOnd clotTHING in Bay Lane, Byron Bay, but she likes to venture out of town for this special event. ‘As a lover of everything old, secondhand, recycled and the not so ordinary since my tweens, I spend every possible moment scanning the papers and eBay for auctions and garage sales,’ says Mandy. ‘Any old bargain will do.

‘My obsession has become so great that I had to open a shop to justify my addiction and the Old and Gold Day at Bruns-

wick – as a buyer – is a fantastic opportunity to find an eclectic assortment of treasures, to brag about bargains and to share fun shopping moments with friends as well as lunch, a beer and some entertainment.’

Mandy not only likes to buy up big at the festival she has been to the event every year and will have her stall again this year at the church. ‘I enjoy offering good deals on surplus stock from my shop,’ she says.

‘I can have lots of fun at the festival and make some money as well.’

Watego’s Beach gets a makeover Work on improvements to Watego’s Beach foreshore area for visitor comfort and safety began along Marine Parade on Monday May 11.

Cape Byron Reserve Trust Chair Yvonne Stewart said these improvements will be the first stage of a project that will eventually see a walkway along the entire length of the Wa-

tego’s Beach foreshore. ‘Work is expected to be completed in early June and will provide better access to Watego’s Beach, an improved picnic area and a safer walkway along part of Marine Parade for the many visitors to the beach,’ Ms Stewart said.

‘Planning for the project has been underway for the past

four years and funding has been provided by The Cape Byron Trust, the National Parks & Wildlife Service and the Byron Bay Malibu Club,’ she said.

Ms Stewart praised the contribution of the Byron Bay Malibu Club – for the past nine years the Club has donated part of the funds raised by the annual Malibu Classic.

Splendour court decision welcome ■ Julie and I would like to say a

and preserve local amenity.

The Land and Environment Court found that Council did not have the power to approve Splendour’s DA as it was a prohibited use under Council’s own LEP. Council needs to set things right with its community and any further festival applications. Coalition for Festival Sanity endorses festivals renting the Council-owned site at the soon-to-be-established Ewingsdale Sport and Recreation facility, with capping of numbers. Council would charge for its use, covering some of the costs and demands that currently go to taxpayers and ratepayers.

big thankyou to every one that helped in the battle to defeat Splendour in the Grass in having their so-called ‘trial event’ being held at Yelgun.

When this event was proposed back in 2006 we knew that we and other residents that were going to be affected by this event had a long road ahead of us. As the months went by we came to realise that the community spirit was still alive. What at first seemed a daunting challenge started to become a positive outcome that would result in the Land and Environment Court ruling against the proponents on Ri Fraser May 6, 2009.

Antigenic shift Peter Olson suggested (Letters, May 5) that the simplest explanation for the mixture of avian, human and swine genetic sequences in the current H1N1 (swine) flu is that it has been manufactured in a laboratory. In fact the simplest explanation is that the virus has undergone antigenic shift or reassortment.

Viruses don’t have their own machinery for replication and therefore must infect a host cell and hijack its replication processes. The host cell then manufactures the viral components and assembles them into new virus particles ready for release (to go off and infect new cells).

If two (or more) different flu varieties infect the same cell at the same time, during the process of replication and assembling virus particles, sometimes bits of both (or multiple) viruses get combined into a new form of the flu virus. In other words the new virus particle has some genes from one variety and some genes from the other variety or varieties. In computing terms it is like cutting and pasting bits from multiple documents into a new document.

The 1957 and 1968 pandemics were caused by genetic reassortment between human and avian flu viruses. This capacity for mixing genetic material is well documented in influenza A viruses, and can occur between birds, humans and other mammals such as pigs.

No invisible hand Not so, Hayo van der Woude’s muddled simplification of ‘free market’ capitalism (Letters, April 28).

Adam Smith (1723-90) Scottish philosopher and political economist’s proclamations of the economic ‘invisible hand’ of capitalism with the ‘trickle down’ effect on general societal welfare has largely been discredited, and is erroneous.

Monetary policy, deregulated markets and financial systems are largely responsible for the current global economic crisis, working people being sacked, and the bosses walking away with millions.

As governments around the world grapple to manage the global economic crisis, a contradiction is developing, as a

Perhaps Greens Party, allegedly green, Mayor Jan Barham would like to inform the community where she is going to go now with her separate, and still live, development proposal to rezone this site into a major regional event site.

The spin and greenwash merchants have already sprung into action. In terms of various press statements made by Council staff, the Mayor and the developers regarding adjusting and resubmitting the DA, please note Point no 71 in the L&E Court judgment.

Point 71 identifies that if a DA is made in the future for development on this site, that is alleged to be for agriculture or other permitted purposes, then Council needs to consider whether the development is in fact a back door way of getting infrastructure for a Splendour festival, and as such would constitute prohibited development. And the Court judgment states, and I quote, ‘Such characterisation would be a jurisdictional fact able to be reviewed by the Court, but that is a matter for the future.’

Let us hope that another community L&E Court challenge against an appalling Council decision is not required, but if it is, Council be on notice, I am sure the community is up for it.

Byron Bay tenet of ‘free market’ capitalism governments should play a minimalist role in overseeing the business of market economies, yet governments are intervening to ‘better’ regulate markets – neo Keynesian?

Social, economic global inequality is of historically unprecedented proportions today, as a result of unfettered capitalist globalisation (neo-liberalism).

Working people should not be forced to pay through rising unemployment, home loan defaults because of the global capitalist crisis.

The creative ability of capitalism to constantly reinvent itself through innovation and ‘clever’ business acumen in the quest for new markets and profits has brought destruction – ecological crises, social upheavals and injustices.

Reconciling the perennial antagonism between profitmaking capital and exploitation of labour and the natural environment remains an endogenous characteristic of capitalism today. Unsustainable capitalist economic growth underscores a terminal economic political system.

Is it a case of hoping everything turns out all right, wish-

On behalf of our members and the majority of the broader community north of the Brunswick River our Association congratulates CONOS and their many supporters for their Court success in opposing the Splendour In The Grass festival at Yelgun.

The CONOS case has shown that Council was wrong on technical planning grounds when giving approval to the festival.

Unfortunately, due to the type of development application, the potential impacts of the proposal could not be addressed by the Court (eg the potential effects on the local community and on the environment).

Our Association recognises the enormous effort that CONOS has made over many years to protect the Jones Road wildlife corridor and the locality’s Aboriginal heritage values. As a community we owe a debt of gratitude to CONOS, especially Stan and Val Scanlon who are tireless volunteers.

We hope that Council will now give greater credence to the desire of the broader community to protect environmental and social values within our shire.

Hear that train a-comin’, rollin’ down the track…

The scope of the report to Byron Shire Council on the Ewingsdale Road/bypass issue (MR545) was narrow. The issue was largely stated and studied in terms of roads and car movements, with a few words about pedestrians, cyclists and a possible park-and-ride scheme.

The authors haven’t presented us with clear options such as road only, road with parkand-ride, or road with commuter rail service linked to Queensland. Only with such a transparent analysis can we decide how to ‘best’ move people in and around Byron Bay. The analysis would need to consider the upfront and maintenance costs to all levels of government and individuals, the costs and benefits to society and the environment. (Last week the youth forum reported on page 2 of The Echo cited again transport as a major problem for them.)

The authors tell us that 80% people are coming into Byron itself – where we already have a railway station – and are not bypassing the town. But did any of their scenarios start from the premise that some percentage could be on a train instead of a car? When I ask Queensland

■

day-trippers if they’d prefer to come by train, their response is ‘yes’. And if some people arrive by rail, how does that decrease our need for new, expensive car parking ?

Both the state government’s so-called Cross Border report (all five pages of it) and this MR 545 report perpetuate the idea that we face an either-or decision: road or rail. (Sometimes bikes are added as an afterthought). The billions spent on the Pacific Highway are worsening Byron’s congestion.

And there’s a lot of evidence to suggest that this trend will continue.

Trams and light rail run safely and efficiently in thousands of cities and towns in the world to cleanly and efficiently move large numbers of people. Let’s not kill our town with more cars.

Karin Kolbe

Suffolk Park ■ As President of NHAG (Northern Rivers Horse Action Group) my club and its members support TOOT and the reopening of the rail corridor for rail commuting and will only support and campaign

continued from page 11

for the rail corridor to be used for cycling, hiking and riding if and only if all attempts to have the rail opened have failed.

The use of rail links in all other states for these recreation purposes has been an outstanding success with small towns on these trails receiving an income boost from travellers along the corridor, from shops, cafés, bycicle shops, pubs, bed and breakfast etc, and it must be remembered that in all states no commercial interests or motorised vehicles are permitted (as far as we are aware).

We concede that other groups in other Shires along the corridor may have already started their campaign for the rails to trails. We at NHAG will hold to our members’ views that the rail must be truly ‘dead’ before we actively join forces with Rails to Trails.

We as a club hold the view that the corridor must remain in the people’s hands and not, possibly, be sold to developers, commercial ventures, adjacent landowners or become a very large strip of weeds, and will fight for this to happen as we have for the past ten years, successfully having forestry tracks

Trains are archaic. The cost paved to better destinations.

Another pundit, Jim Beatson of reinstating the line alone is (Letters, May 5), puts forth the embarassingly massive, but let’s argument that we should ‘keep... think for a minute about the the current unused rail lines for real costs. Upgrading of crossrail’. How brilliant is that idea? ings, platforms and stations, staAnyway, it was fifteen min- tion masters, ticket inspectors, utes to ten last Monday when I throttle-jockeys, fencing, bag-

gage handlers, traffic queues, the trains themselves, maintenance, the list is neverending. A ticket from Bangalow to Byron, in real prices, would cost more than an average suburban house, and you’d still have to get back again at the end of the day.

In big cities, where trains make some economical sense, you still have to get to the station and home again afterwards. Taxis are expensive, but probably on par with all-day parking rates. Trains are also quite lethal, are prime targets for criminal activities, generally unhygienic, but still worth considering when you have hundreds of thousands of people to move around every hour of the day. This doesn’t sound like the place I live and work in, not at all.

We need a real solution to the current traffic crisis, and utilising the existing rail corridor for small, local, motor vehicle and pedestrian movements is the only solution imaginable that will work today and in the future. Anything else is a rabid dog coveting straw it will never eat.

periments on the impacts of glyphosate. They found that across all six amphibian species that were tested, 80% of the glyphosate-treated amphibians died after one day. Also, glyphosate would kill 90% to 100% of tadpoles of all six amphibian species. Therefore, it was concluded that ‘Roundup/ glyphosate has the potential to play a major role in amphibian declines’ (Relyea 2005a).

If you want to follow up my sources yourself, to see if my argument is true, then go to: http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/pdffiles/ AG/AG24800.pdf We can stop this ridiculous spraying, if we believe in the power of community. Even reducing the aerial spraying to hand-held spraying will be of benefit to the environment.

Writing letters to the Council is an effective way of voicing any opinions. Most of the councillors are environmental, so if lots of us express our concerns, change might thereafter arise.

Let’s make it happen. Thank you.

Mullumbimby ■ Councillor Staples stated in your paper, ‘It’s time Council and agencies like Parks stopped using herbicides.’ My question to Councillor Staples is ‘When are you going to stop using herbicides?’

Every time you fill up your car with petrol you are filling up with a herbicide. Spray petrol on a plant and it dies. It’s called a ‘knock-down’ herbicide. The reason we don’t use petrol on a farm as a herbicide

is because its effects on the environment are unacceptable.

Glyphosate is the first in a new class of herbicides (circa 1972) that attack specific enzyme systems in plants. This is exactly the same mode of action as antibiotics which attack a specific enzyme system in the bacteria. The shikimic pathways attacked by glyphosate exist only in plants. There is even a herbicide that attacks only lantana because the enzyme system is specific to lantana.

Kerosene was once the standard herbicide for carrots.

You can spray kero over carrots up until fifth leaf and kill everything but the carrots. As I recall, stopping at fifth leaf was so carrots wouldn’t taste of kerosene.

Unlike petrol, diesel, motor oil, which don’t adhere to clay particles, glyphosate chemically bonds so strongly that when studies are done to assess glyphosate residue solvents must be used to break the bond. This bonding allows the glyphosate to biodegrade in place.

Meanwhile, the hydrocarbons are busy polluting air and ground water.

Glyphosate breaks down into four not at all bad chemicals in a half life of four months whereas diesel, motor oil, etc when they do break down it is into nasties.

We live in a society of choose your poison. Glyphosate is the least of our worries.

What a sport?

The latest effort by developer Eric Freeman to persuade Council to pass his DA for Tallow Ridge Estate No 2 at Mullumbimby for 240-320 houses (which is it?) at about $350,000 a slice (so much for affordable housing) doesn’t surprise me.

The carrots are: sports fields, tennis courts, basketball court, public road and parking. What a good sport you are, Eric?

The previous DA (for said area) got knocked back because of the dubious onsite sewage system that was going to be incorporated. Now the sewage plant is to be built and the moratorium will be lifted in some cases, does this mean that it’s a green light for allcomers in the future? www.echo.net.au

Stormy weather ahead I can understand that John Vaughan, with property on the Belongil spit, would want to delude himself about the risks of coastal erosion and sea level rise, but he shouldn’t expect Echo readers to believe him (Echo, May 5).

The 1974 cyclone a ‘one in a 500 to 1000 year event’? I don’t think so, particularly as similar events occured in 1954 and 1967. The draft Belongil Creek Flood Study, which Council was discussing at the meeting Mr Vaughan refers to, suggests the 1974 cyclone was about a one in 20 year event.

Then there is the East Antarctic ice sheet, which Mr Vaughan claims is ‘10% thicker than it was in the 1950s’.

That would lower global sea levels by about five metres, which hadn’t happened last time I was at the beach. According to recent reports, including the 2007 IPCC report, East Antarctica is gaining ice, but West Antarctica is losing more, with a net contribution to increasing sea levels.

I have no idea what Mr Vaughan’s graph refers to, as he provides no useful information about it, but his claim that the Belongil spit has not been affected by past rises and falls in sea levels is a bit hard to believe. Perhaps he has a 6,000 year old map showing where the spit was then?

Rising sea levels and continuing coastal erosion are facts of life, and Council’s planned retreat policy, although flawed, is the only realistic one, and any weakening of it will cost future generations dearly.

If Mr Vaughan doesn’t believe that coastal erosion and rising sea levels are happening, then why is he worried about Council’s policy? If these things don’t happen, Mr Vaughan won’t be affected by the policy, and he can enjoy his view from the spit undisturbed.

Bora ring threat Recently while travelling back to Byron from a festival in Canberra, we were informed of the RTA’s plans to build a six lane highway through Bulahdelah, between Taree and Newcastle, and specifically through the base of the Alum Mountain, a mountain held sacred for time out of mind by the indigenous Worimi people of that country. www.echo.net.au

may not have been the most significant cause of complete Antarctic ice-sheet melting during the Pliocene, from five to two million years ago, when CO2 levels were beween 400ppm and 450ppm. However, researchers at Pennsylvania State University are using seabed drilling cores to validate a simulation model that predicts ice sheet changes. This confirms that global temperature drives the melting and the melting of the Western Antarctic helps drive changes in sea level.

On the question of whether CO2 and other greenhouse gasses drive global temperature, Wikipedia (Scientific opinion on climate change) lists the official statements of numerous scientific organisations showing the breadth and depth of agreement about the central role of greenhouse gasses.

It also states that ‘With the release of the revised statement by the American Association of Petroleum Geologists in 2007, no remaining scientific body of national or international standing is known to reject the basic findings of human influence on recent climate change’.

Also the increase in ice mass of the Eastern Antarctic mentioned by John Vaughan in last week’s Comment is due to a temporary weather pattern created by the ozone hole.

As the ozone hole decreases and that weather pattern diminishes, melting is expected to begin in earnest. According to John Turner of the British Antarctic Survey, ‘In the next decade or so we should see sea ice plateauing and then decreasing massively if greenhouse gases continue to increase.’

But really we are arguing about how to arrange the deckchairs on the Titanic.

Even the notoriously conservative Environment Protection Agency (EPA) in the USA has now affirmed that recent climate change is mainly caused by greenhouse gas emissions which are therefore a danger

to public health.

Worldwide there are tens of thousands of scientists investigating climate change and its implications. There are a few dozen mainly armchair scientists who still deny anthropogenic factors. Of course, there is lots of oil and coal money making sure they get heard.

Can we agree that climate change is the most important issue of our time; that no other issue holds such an enormous threat to global survival; and that we must collectively take whatever rational actions are necessary as a matter of extreme urgency?

There are just five main issues: how we make electricity; how we move things; how we heat things; how much flesh we eat; and how we remove CO2 from the atmosphere.

Presently do-able solutions are renewable power; electric transport with interchangeable batteries; passive and active solar heating; 300g or less meat per week; and biochar production, respectively.

These are certainly not easy to achieve, locally, nationally, or globally. Especially within the ten years we have available and especially because we are moving into an era of rapid oil-depletion. Studies show that dangerous climate change is likely if we burn just one-quarter of the remaining fossil fuel reserves.

That is why we must unilaterally set an example and declare a State of Carbon Emergency ASAP. I agree with Keine Nombre’s letter last week: it is time to get out on the streets and show our elected representatives that we want a serious and substantial change of direction.

There is no time to waste.

Please sign the online petition at www.thepetitionsite.com/1/ help-transform-Byron-Shire, also email me if you are at least sympathetic to this cause: sapoty@beyond-oil.com.

We visited the site as we were travelling through and spent ANZAC day weekend there at a corroboree organised by Robert Corowa (Canberra Tent Embassey), Billy Pike, and Ruth Forsythe.

The Alum Mountain is traditionally believed to be a place where the spirits of the dead go to wait to be reincarnated.

At the base of the mountain is a bora ring, burial site, a healing pool, ochre ground, many canoe trees and a Guardian Tree. The Guardian Tree is believed to be up to 700 years old. Traditionally when people were dying they would be laid under the tree on a platform, and when they passed away

their bodies would be left under the tree with their spirit waiting until the bones were finally carried to the top of the mountain to a burial place.

If the RTA’s plans for the highway go ahead this tree and bora ring will be destroyed, the ground itself blasted into several metres deep to find the solid rock that could support a highway, which could compromise the fragile top of the mountain and cause landslides and even more degradation.

The fragile barrier between this place and the bulldozers is Uncle Worimi, one of the traditional custodians. He is going to court on May 27, and other

Tree horror I went to the Cumbebin swamp following publicity regarding loss of trees, and to my horror found four huge swamp paperbarks had been cut down at the end of the dirt road which is the very end of Burns Street.

When I am looking at these sad stumps which are about two metres at the base, I am thinking that these trees must have been at least 100 years old. Why didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t anybody stop them from this bad desecreation? Who was responsible and why havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t they been prosecuted?

Ulrike Schaeffer

Byron Bay â&#x2013; Letters received from Fast Buck$, Coorabell, Johnny Abegg, Byron Bay, April Pelmore, Mullumbimby. Letter writers are reminded that the deadline is noon Friday and that brevity is the soul of wit.

Bad times in the middle east â&#x2013; The letter titled â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Palestineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; by Duncan ShipleySmith (May 4) is shameful for its spurious allegations against Israel and its misrepresentations of history.

I do not wish to give further oxygen to his wild claims, other than to note that the source of the Arab-Israeli conflict and of the plight of the Palestinian people can be clearly traced to the refusal of the Arab world to accept Israelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presence from the moment it was voted into existence by the United Nations in 1947.

Since then, the failure of Arab leaders to grasp opportunities for peace â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with the notable exceptions of the courageous Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Jordanian King Hussein â&#x20AC;&#x201C; have, tragically, perpetuated the conflict.

Mr Shipley-Smithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s undisguised attempt to demonise Israel serves only to retard the cause of peace.

Vic Alhadeff

Chief Executive Officer NSW Jewish Board of Deputies â&#x2013; What good are facts, anyway?

Yet another shameful letter to the editor attacking Israel.

The premise of this particular erroneous missive is based on so many vast and just not true errors it is not even worth having a rational discussion.

This is not presenting history or facts, it is a blatant attempt to spread untruths and promote prejudice. Oh, and this particular repetition, like other recent similar letters in this paper, all too closely fall on the wrong side of plagiarism.

What use is a rant such as Duncanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s letter, when it only serves to antagonise and further spread untruths? So simple and all too easy to criticise when sitting nice â&#x20AC;&#x2122;nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; comfy here

in Byron Bay and not having to defend oneself from daily attack from world-recognised terrorist organisations.

To be constructive and helpful actually takes courage.

To bring about the reality of people living peacefully side by side will require a great deal of patience and definitely both diplomacy and tact. How about seeing more tolerance and encouragement for discussion?

Les Einhorn

Coopers Shoot â&#x2013; The situation in the middle east is a complex one and while I have my own biases, I can see that no one side is all wrong/ bad or right/good. Duncan, you conveniently omitted events like the 1929 and 1936 massacres perpetrated by Palestinian Arabs on Jewish communities. I wonder why you also neglected to mention the 1947 UN declaration that divided the territory to Arab and Jewish areas. If this decision was accepted by Palestinians and the broader Arab world, Palestinians today could have lived in peace with Israelis.

However, the decision was swiftly followed by an invasion of Arab armies that came close at times to obliterating the Jewish community.

Like you, I despise the Israeli right wing and Rabbi Cookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teachings. However, why point the finger at one religiously fanatic group? What about all the crazy evangelical Christians and the mad Hindu nationalists in India? And lest we forget, how come that someone as sensitive to fanaticism as you forgot the good olâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Muslim fanatics?

Are you aware of what Sheikh Ahmad Yassin, the spiritual leader of the Hamas movement preached? Hamas, which was elected by the majority of Palestinians, still does not recognise

Israelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right to existence. If that is not fascist enough, they have been systematically eliminating and executing Fatah members in Gaza since coming to power.

Sounds pretty fascist to me, but you of course chose to ignore it.

Just for the record, I grew up in Israel, I live here partly because I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like what is happening there and I agree that the Irgun was a terrorist organisation. Israel is far from a perfect state, but it also doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the luxury of sitting in Upper Coopers Creek away from the madness that is the middle east. At least I was taught about the Dir Yassin massacre in high school. Unfortunately, I doubt any Palestinian kids are taught about the 1929 and 1936 massacres. All they hear in school is martial music and hate propaganda, which concerns moderate Palestinian community and political leaders.

Interesting also, that while surely suffering some discrimination, Israeli Palestinian Arabs are the only Arabs in the middle east who can openly oppose the government in parliament and in the press, while being paid by taxpayers. This has been acknowledged by Ahmad Tibby (Member of the Israeli Knesset) in the London based Arabic newspaper Al Hayat, who said that he would have been jailed long ago had he lived in any Arab state.

To achieve peace in the middle east we need to recognise that both sides have fanatics who are drawing the area into ever more dangerous cycles of violence and that only through democracy, dialogue and compromise will there be any solution. One-sided commentary from abroad does not help.

Visual arts speed dating on again This year Arts Northern Rivers Visual Arts Network (VAN) is holding another Visual Arts Speed Datingâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;4-artists Event as part of the FEHVA Arts Conference in Bangalow on May 29. VAN Speed Dating is a creative initiative bringing together local artists with gallery directors from inside and outside the region.

Each artist has a precious four minutes to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;sellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; themselves to six out of the twelve prospective galleries. To date a number of new relationships have blossomed between loved-up northern rivers artists and galleries from outside the region. This is another great chance for artists to secure themselves gallery representation or build some potentially fruitful relationships.

According to Melitta Firth, Visual Arts Network Coordinator this unusual event, which brings together 36 artists and

twelve gallery directors produces excellent outcomes for both the galleries and artists involved. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a two way street â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a chance for local artists to connect with commercial and regional galleries across Australia and a way for galleries outside the region to get a feel for talent and activity of Northern Rivers artists.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Some of the galleries who have agreed to participate this year include Edwina Corlette Gallery Brisbane, 19 Karen Contemporary Art Space Gold Coast, Tweed River Art Gallery, Grafton Regional Gallery, Joshua Levi Gallery Brisbane and Off The Wall, Art Sydney and Art Melbourne and Retrospect Gallery Byron Bay. John McDonald, art critic from the Sydney Morning Herald is also in the dating mix and Vanessa Wagner as the MC for the event who will ensure everybody is in the mood.

Gallery director Charles Hewitt who participated last year came all the way from Sydney to attend the event which he described as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;an innovative idea, and a great introduction to the diverse talents on the north coastâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Robyn Sweaney, a painter based in Mullumbimby, was over the moon after connecting with one of Sydneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most prestigious and successful commercial galleries â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Tim Olsen Gallery. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Visual Arts Speed Dating was a great opportunity to test my work out with Sydney galleries. I certainly wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expecting such a quick response â&#x20AC;&#x201C; being offered a show in Sydney that year.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Tickets cost $45 and can be purchased through Jetset Byron Bay 6685 6554.

MardiGrass 2009 declared a hoot by organisers MardiGrass organisers filed this report: Nimbin’s 17th MardiGrass was the biggest ever with very few problems. Exceptional entertainment from visiting Japanese band Dachambo was a highlight, along with numerous other excellent acts.

The visiting medicinal cannabis growers and experts opened many people’s minds to how far behind Australia is on cannabis law reform. Licensed growers and sellers and users of medical cannabis told the audience how their governments allow the distribution of medical cannabis. Michael John from Faifax, an alternative community town of around 7,000 people outside San Francisco, told MardiGrass visitors he works for a dispensary that sells about 10 kilos of top grade medicinal pot, every day.

Sita von Windheim, a Canadian medical pot licence holder and ex Amsterdam Café owner, said psychosis propaganda doesn’t get anywhere in Canada.

‘Too many parents have had their own experience with pot and would rather their children smoked than drink alcohol or use other more unpredictable and dangerous drugs.

Left, revellers enjoy the parade and, right, police take in the ambience of the Hemp Embassy as a Polite Force officer looks on. Photos Jeff ‘High As A Kitten’ Dawson.

Warnings about mental health problems from pot is another tool governments use to try and frighten parents to keep the drug war going.’

The police may have scored a record amount of cannabis cautions at this year’s MardiGrass, but it’s a fact most of them couldn’t tell the difference between a mugwort or a marijuana joint. When the results of their testing come back the caution numbers may drop significantly!

Friday night news: Today

word came that the property where a MardiGrass doof was to be held was raided. Gloomy news for some, as the doof has long been a safety valve for MardiGrass to absorb some of that Saturday night party energy. Later in the day reliable sources said this did not necessarily mean no doof and other options were being explored.

There has been no big publicity seeking raid by police, so far. No big Embassy or Museum raid preceded MardiGrass, but this evening buskers were

told to get off the streets unless they had a licence. A sweep of the village was made to clear them.

This was considered an odd move by locals. They are also patrolling car parks tonight and searching cars where they see lighters flicking on and off.

Otherwise everything is going fantastically well, and the Town Hall is pumpin’ tonight!

Dachambo are giving a great performance.

Saturday night news: Closing the independent doof in-

creased our take at the Cannabis Concert for Law Reform.

Our security fears proved unfounded as MardiGrass unfolded, and the only threat was the police presence.

Visiting Dachambo put in a sensational performance, and had the non-payers breaking down the fence to get into the $20 performance. They were that good.

Sunday Night News: From Friday on we saw raids on the volunteer camping area, searches of parked cars, and a

general all out effort to issue as many cannabis cautions as possible, presumably to cite as ‘arrests’ on Monday. The Polite Force Media Unit carried the Big Joint in the parade from the Police Station to Peace Park, where it sat amid a record crowd.

As far as we are concerned it was the best and biggest MardiGrass we’ve had since 1996, and we’d especially like to thank the NSW police for making us politically relevant again, and raising our numbers.

of two ‘blood-brothers’: Ned, a reluctant head louse and Lewis, his nit-loving human companion. With 23% of primary school kids having nits at any one time, it’s certainly a topic most Australian families have had to deal with.

The series starts with Lift Off! and introduces us to Lewis who’s had nits pretty much his

Bug Out! sees poor Lewis trying to cope with not only his head having been shaved, but the loss of his beloved pets (or so he thinks). Miraculously, Ned has managed to survive in the orange goo of Lewis’s ear, and is on a mission to find his mother (and the answer as to why he can jump).

Both books are packed with humour and there are loads of interesting nit facts that Tristan has woven into the story – perfect not only for all bug-loving kids, but reluctant readers too!

Both books end with a little quiz, and Heath McKenzie’s illustrations complement the story brilliantly.

Nit Boy… They’ll make you laugh. They’ll make you cry.

They’ll make you itch.

Says Tristan: ‘My first gig was acting in theatre while I was at school, training and staging plays at the Q Theatre in Sydney’s West. Meanwhile, I was messing with a camera, shooting horror movie scenes with friends after school and on weekends. I then worked as an actor in 7’s Home and Away while completing my HSC and for the following couple of years.

Making two and a half hours of TV a week is a fantastic baptism of fire for a young actor and instils a professional work ethic that I carry with me today.’

Nominate a project for World Environment Day

This time last year, The Echo wrote about the pedestrian pilgrimage adventure of Ben Dale and his companions Stephanie Dale (his mum) and Sabine Hellfaier. Ben set off on foot from Canterbury, England in May 2007, arriving in Jerusalem in September 2008. Ben took the winter off to learn Arabic in Syria, but in total he walked for nine months. Nine months and about 6,000 kms – that’s about twelve million unfathomable footsteps. Ben is now back home in the Byron Shire to tell his tale.

Stephanie and Sabine joined Ben for different parts of the journey – both walked for nine weeks each. Ben’s mum walked with him from Rome to Albania, from September to November 2007 and Sabine, who Ben had never met prior to walking together, walked from April to June 2008, joining him in Macedonia and ending her walk in Turkey.

Nominate your local environmental project for the Byron Shire Council World Environment Day recognition ceremony. Byron Shire Council’s sustainability officer Graeme Williams said the recognition ceremony is part of Byron Shire’s World Environment Day celebrations being held in June this year. ‘Byron Shire is one of the most biodiverse regions in NSW and is also a hub of grassroots sustainability initiatives,’ Mr Williams said.

‘Council values the community’s contribution towards the environment and wants to recognise local businesses, individuals and community groups that promote sustainability and environmental protection.

‘Recognition promotes a vision of sustainability, builds networks across the community and reinforces initiative by celebrating success stories across Byron Shire.

‘Organisations and individuals who have recently completed an environmental project that has benefited our region

along the way, the pilgrims’ entire exp er ience was heartwarming and surprising.

Ben set off on this unusual journey with the intent to show many people’s preconceptions of foreign cultures being inhospitable to be misplaced, and as he had hoped, he was welcomed by strangers with

open hearts over and over again.

‘Before I left on the pilgrimage I swore I would never turn down any offer of food or drink. In Turkey, however, I had too many offers of tea and food and would never have left the country had I accepted all of them. In every

country, if there were no shops or restaurants around, the road would always provide, it was incredible.’

Although Ben’s feet have recovered perfectly well, he told The Echo that he has no need at present to do it all again. Only three pairs of shoes were harmed on his journey.

New president for Bruns Valley Quota Sheila Wilton, right of picture, was installed at the Club’s 49th Annual Installation. Quotarians from neighbouring Clubs attended the lunch which was held at the Ocean Shores Country Club. Master of Ceremonies was Quotarian Denise Hutton.

The Club’s Executive and Board of Directors for the ensuing year were installed by the Governer of the 24th District of Quota International, Barbara McClenanghan, assisted by her Secretary Treasurer June Dangar both from the Armidale Club, and Lieutenant Governer Janet Ahrens from Tweed Heads -Coolangatta Club.

The Byron Bay International Film Festival (BBFF) has been invited to host Greenfest’s cinema stage on World Environment Day, June 5, in Brisbane’s beautiful Botanic Garden.

‘Greenfest is Australia’s largest free green festival. It’s a celebration of community and hope for a greener future,’ said BBFF Festival Director J’aimee Skippon-Volke. ‘We’re thrilled to share Greenfest’s headlining lineup with musicians such as Ash Grunwald and Jeff Lang.

The BBFF team feel this is important recognition of our ongoing high standard of films and established commitment to green values.’

Colman Ridge, the founder and owner of Greenfest, said, ‘The regional towns around Brisbane contribute an enormous amount of talent to the

festival and are the source of its warm foundations. BBFF is bringing the seeds of Bryon Bay’s creative confidence to Brisbane via film. These films will touch and inspire our audiences in Brisbane to grow great things from those seeds and that’s what our festival is all about!’

Greenfest’s producer Leilani Gaze is 24 years old, and recently hails from Suffolk Park near Byron Bay. She now lives and works in Brisbane. She has had a long passion for film making which included making a documentary production in East Timor.

Around 35,000 people attended last year’s Greenfest and over 3,000 turned up to a screening of Byron filmmaker Kim Kindersley’s feature film Whaledreamers which won

BBFF’s inaugural Best Film Award in 2006. Continuing on from that high standard, BBFF’s 2008 Best Film winner was Laya Project which will screen at Greenfest. Laya Project musically interprets the spirit of survival and hope in the wake of the 2004 tsunami.

It provides film viewers access to the intimacy of indigenous communities spanning the five affected continents.

The theme for Greenfest 2009 is ‘Community Warmth Can Cool the Planet.

The four hour ‘Best of BBFF’ session will be held under the stars on Greenfest’s Film & Music Stage at 6pm and follows a performance from Bunna Lawrie and The Whaledreamers.

University of Sydney researchers are copying the natural engineering found in sea creatures such starfish in order to produce a renewable energy source without producing the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide.

Dr Andrew Harris and his colleagues from the School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering have been researching techniques to capture the carbon dioxide released while extracting hydrogen from biomass (agricultural wastes). The hydrogen generated can then be used as a sustainable source of energy for fuel cells, with water as the only by-product.

Dr Harris and his team aim to make a sorbent, or ‘sponge’, that will capture the carbon dioxide produced by the process. Capturing the carbon dioxide also generates changes the reaction chemically, increasing the amount of hydrogen produced.

‘We found that calcium oxide-based sorbents were the most effective and that Echinodermata – sea creatures including starfish and sea cucumbers – already provided the perfect templates for the structure we sought,’ Dr. Harris said.

‘But making hydrogen from biomass and capturing the carbon dioxide means negative net greenhouse gas emissions,

and this is a significant step on the road to a future hydrogen economy.’

The project will use renewable sources such as wood and agricultural wastes for producing hydrogen. ‘This means the process will be sustainable, according to Dr Harris, and won’t require vital food crops to be diverted, unlike the production of other alternative fuels such as ethanol. www.echo.net.au

NATIONAL CHIROPRACTIC WEEK

The campaign is designed to raise awareness of important health issues affecting Australians, and how chiropractic care plays a vital role in fostering wellness.

Research has indicated that the general public still holds many misconceptions about back pain, including how it is caused, guidelines for best treatment and the scope of the problem. Most individuals believed that back pain is often the result of a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;slipped discâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; or â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;trapped nerveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

The vast majority of people consider back pain as something to treat when it happens, usually through prescription and over-the-counter drugs. However, while drugs may relieve pain temporarily, they are a quick ďŹ x solution which ignores underlying structural problems and lifestyle habits.

Back pain can be a sign of something greater, and should not be viewed as an inevitable part of life that should be â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;put upâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; with. Back pain can be an indicator of how poor lifestyle choices are affecting spinal health. The quick-ďŹ x approach to pain-relief ignores this â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;big pictureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

Thankfully there is plenty that can be done to either prevent or manage the problem â&#x20AC;&#x201C; most notably maintaining your spinal health on an ongoing basis and consulting with your highly qualiďŹ ed local chiropractor.

decided to specialise in network chiropractic after seeing the transformation of a patient while working in Kalgoorlie. Cateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crippling low back pain meant she had to pace the aisle during the forty minute flight to Perth. Three weeks after beginning care, Cate was able to drive the six hours, non-stop. At the time this seemed miraculous. Now I hear this type of story every day.

For young and old I work more as a body electrician than a panel beater, helping the body release tension stored in the spine and nervous system, allowing the power that made the body heal the body.

When your body is physically or emotionally traumatised, the nervous system goes into defense - holding tension which leads to a variety of symptoms.

I will teach you how to breathe properly, helping you learn how to unwind old blockages in your spine that are causing your symptoms.

I also give you stretches to assist the healing process.

At the Wave of Life Network Chiropractic rooms, we also have Amara Hurst, a Psychologist and Brennan Energy Healer, who specialises in working with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues and life direction.

Medicare and Health Fund rebates are available for Chiropractic and Psychology (with a GPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s referral).

SUNWRAE ENSEMBLE Rae Howell didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t waste any time in putting her passion for performance and composition on stage and on the road. Only one year after graduating from The University of Melbourne Conservatorium she founded, in 2001, her Sunwrae Ensemble. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I knew that I wanted to do performing as well as composing so I thought that building an ensemble, bit by bit, and asking guest musicians to come and perform with me was the best way to go.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Now Sunwrae Ensemble has ďŹ ve or six core players and a number of others who are guests from time to time; and a dazzling reputation that extends well beyond Australia.

On this tour there are nine musicians and one visual artist who does live projection during the performance. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Performing with visuals is challengingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, says Howell. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great thing to do.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; After a bit more than a month on the road, Sunwrae will will burst upon Byron Bay on Saturday May 23.

The tour, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Autumn Never Fallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, is named for the studio album released earlier this year. And performances include a six minute ďŹ lm. Created by animator Tom Fraser, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s based on a story Howell wrote to the album track â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Machineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

Howell refers to her ensemble as a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;nu (sic) chamber groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Why this term? She explains: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;a few people called us that to start with and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve adopted it because

we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ďŹ t into a speciďŹ c genre. Of course the academic world might call us a pop chamber orchestra or the rock and pop world might call us a classical group. But I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see us as either of those. So I adopted the term â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;nu music genre.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; The music, says Howell, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC; has ďŹ&#x201A;avours of all sorts of different styles. Classical genre, pop and rock melodies, driving rhythms, jazz ďŹ&#x201A;avours. Listeners to all sorts of music can always have a pleasurable experience at our performances. We appeal to a very wide audience.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Howellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main instruments are piano and vibraphone. Also in the ensemble for this tour are string quartet, harp, alto ďŹ&#x201A;ute, double bass and percussion. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great energy on stage; we all feed off one anotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

For Byron Bay, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bonus. Howell with her ensemble will be running a day long workshop at the Cape Byron Steiner School. Funded by NSW Regional Arts, it will include students from other schools in the area. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;It isâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, says Steiner School music teacher Tom Whitaker, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC; for kids who are really talented. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a pretty high level workshop.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; The day will include individual instrument workshops, information about careers in the music industry, a group performance by students of one of Howellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pieces, and feedback for HSC composition students. And, if all goes well, a student composition in minimalist style will be played by Sunwrae Ensemble as part of the Saturday night concert.

CREATIVE STRATEGY Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ofďŹ cial: our arts industry is burgeoning.

According to two recent State Government reports, the RichmondTweed area has the highest creative industries employment growth in NSW â&#x20AC;&#x201C; more than double the Sydney growth rate. And it has Hon. Virginia Judge the greatest concentration of and Lois Randall creative industry workers outside Sydney.

Furthermore, between the 2001 and 2006 census, employment in the arts and creative industries in the Northern Rivers grew 25 percent faster than the rest of the regional economy. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a wonderfully positive context for the new Northern Rivers Art and Creative Industries Strategy, recently launched in Ballina by The Hon Virginia Judge MP. Lois Randall, CEO of Arts Northern Rivers, the body responsible for the strategy points out that, if the strategy is to have impact in the local area, we need to have government investment. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;At the launch we gave the Minister a price tag: two million dollars for the implementation of our strategy.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; The strategy is, Randall explains, a blueprint for all agencies engaged in creative industries development â&#x20AC;&#x201C; economic and educational â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to work together, focussing on generating jobs and businesses.

And best of all, the strategy draws on one of our greatest resources, our creativity, without destroying our other great resource, our environment. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a win win situation: a great opportunity for artists in the region, and for all of us in the region.

PEARLS BEFORE SWINE FLU

out of dance school, Michael was chosen to represent Victoria by Bruce Woodley from the Seekers in his production of I am Australian.

Accompanied by Wendy Turner on piano, Michael promises that this program will be bigger and better with loads of new material and a special tribute to Bollywood. The show features favourites, such as The Windmills of your Mind, Moonriver and The Look of Love, and pays tribute to the stars of the silver screen. A & I Hall in Bangalow, 10.30am Friday and 7.15pm Saturday.

Mick Hart More than three years in the making and after returning to Australia from a longterm stay in Europe, prolific singer/ songwriter Mick Hart will be touring and releasing two brand new albums â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Where I Go and What Lies Beneath.

Written largely in Europe and recorded in Sydney and France, Hartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest accomplishment will result in his fifth and sixth studio albums â&#x20AC;&#x201C; an acoustic, stomping showcase that

pink arses. In the corporate world itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really hard to tell who has Swine Flu or not, as piggish behaviour is the norm.

Swine Flu doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be a bad thing. It can have have a positive impact on household productivity. I have already started using the deadly bug as a threat around the house. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;You room is a pig sty. Clean it up or else you could get swine flu.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Sure, it may be unethical to incite fear to elicit a passive and compliant response from my children, but that canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be so bad. The media does it all the time. China is so freaked out theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve even quarantined people born in the Year of the Pig. It just goes to show, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be too careful. Pig Flu could be closer to home than we think. Other lesser known symptoms of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;pig fluâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is a tendency for very short haircuts, random requests to see your licence and a habit of talking in monotones in the past tense using words like â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;perambulateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the ultimate philosophical makeover. So are we, the greedy little piggies who inhabit Planet Earth, about to be taken out by some bacon bug? Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first identify some of the symptoms of Swine Flu? It can start with something as simple as a desire to go to the market, have roast beef, go wee wee wee all the way home. You know you have swine flu when you find yourself rolling in mudpuddles in the backyard and joyously immersing yourself in the compost bin. For some, it may be accompanied by a desire to eat your own faeces. There is a health warning for blokes.

boat, so that when Ondas tells Asa â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;we are cultured peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, his pride, so recognisable, is as amusing as it is inspiring.

The landscape, magnificently photographed by Jola Dylewska, is a significant player in its own right. Flat, windswept and dusty and as far from our beaches and hills as you can imagine, its postnuclear desolation is weirdly reminiscent of Mad Max, while the aural design, free of orchestral prompts, helps us to hear the environment as much as see it. Thankfully, the minimal sub-titling never intrudes (how often is a foreign language movie handicapped by translations of such wordiness that the all-important image has moved on by the time youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve read the dialogue?), to the extent that it is possible to be carried along solely by the atmospherics and the rhythm of Asaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Ondasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Samalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daily lives. And the birth of the black lamb is unforgettable. A treasure. ~ John Campbell

Wagnerian lair, is not quite hateful as the evil Nero whose fury is understandable and fate curiously ennobling, Leonard Nimoy contributes the wisdom of the ĂŠminence grise and Winona Ryder (whom I did not recognise) shows that shoplifters can be reformed. The design of the USS Enterprise, with its kitschy control centre, is unchanged, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pleasing to see the crew still decked out in those tight, plain uniforms and little skirts. Upbeat (admittedly, a couple of planets have their entire populations obliterated in black holes, but â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;not without dust the victoryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;), as hopeful as were the times that spawned it and, as we terrestrials from a distant century might say, out there. ~ John Campbell

Asa resolves to marry the unseen Tulpan, the only eligible girl within cooee, and thus receive from Ondas the sheep with which he will establish his own standing. But word filters back that Tulpan is not interested for, apart from his general ineptness in the traditional ways of the nomadic shepherds, he has â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;big earsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. But the irrepressible Asa is nothing if not optimistic, whereas Ondas is becoming increasingly despondent at the number of his ewes that are dropping dead lambs. The pitfall for western audiences is that we might view features such as this with a patronising eye that wants to regard those depicted as ethnographic curiosities who, in some way, hold to simpler, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;truerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; values that have been lost to us (i.e., the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;noble savageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; syndrome).

It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen here.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Pork belly,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; announced the friend-of-a-friend at our table, spiky little shoulders shuddering in revulsion, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;is pure fat.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Great!â&#x20AC;&#x2122;, said William, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m having!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; This might not be a time to look on pigs kindly â&#x20AC;&#x201C; perhaps all the more reason to celebrate their various edible gifts. Pork belly, in fact, is not pure fat at all â&#x20AC;&#x201C; although it is indeed meat layered with ribbons of self-basting fat. It is difficult to find a contemporary restaurant that does not serve it in one form or another (often with scallops). And yet it hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always enjoyed the ludicrous level of popularity it does today in countries like Australia, the UK and USA. As the name suggests, it is derived from the belly of the pig; it is what is cured and smoked then turned into bacon, or salt-cured and spiced then turned into pancetta. It is, above all, an inexpensive cut of the beast and it was that factor coupled with its fattiness which, up until about a decade ago, resulted in its neglect.

Now, of course, chefs cannot get enough of it, braising it in seasoned stocks then panfrying it to unctuous crispness, teaming it with Asian flavourings or Mediterranean herbs, the fat rendered down until the meat is divinely tender. Fat is where the flavour resides, after all â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and fortunately attitudes are changing in favour of this, away from the grim â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;90â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;new-fashioned porkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x201C; pork that was lean, dry and tasteless â&#x20AC;&#x201C; was being heavily promoted by the industryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s marketing body, Australian Pork Ltd. Jo Byrne of Bangalow Sweet Pork was one of the forerunners of farmers who worked to put the fat back into pigs.

It will be interesting to see if this liberal embracing of pork belly â&#x20AC;&#x201C; at complete odds and utterly irreconcilable with the eternal pursuit of thinness â&#x20AC;&#x201C; extends further. What actually is pure fat is the Italian delicacy known as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;lardoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Lardo is made from the thick layer of fat directly below the skin of a pig; the fat is carefully removed and cured in salt and spices so that it can be stored for extended periods of time. It is generally offered as part of an antipasto platter along with other â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;salumiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x201C; cured meats â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and has a mild and

creamy flavour. The most famous type is Lardo di Colonnata, made since Roman times.

Colonnata is a district, or â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;frazioneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, of Carrara, famous for its marble â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and traditionally the lardo is cured for months in basins or â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;concheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; made from this local marble. The marble contributes its own particular characteristics to the end result â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and Lardo di Colonnata was one of the first traditional Italian foods to be protected by the Slow Food Movementâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ark of Taste (lâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Arco del Gusto).

Pancetta â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;panciaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; meaning belly â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is pork belly cured firstly in salt, then spiced with ingredients like fennel and garlic and chilli and nutmeg and finally dried for several months. It usually comes in both a mild and a hot version and may be used in the place of prosciutto, sliced wafer-thin, alongside fresh figs or melon. And while it is the same cut as streaky bacon, its curing process is different and because it is not smoked it tends to be moister with a more mellow flavour.

Then there is guanciale. This is meat cut not from the belly but from the cheek. Its fat has a different quality again, melting easily into dishes, the added collagen rendering sauces silkily smooth. Here the meat has been washed with wine and herbs and peppers then air-cured. Sliced into thin batons, cooked with onions and a bay leaf then sweetened with slivered simmering Roma tomatoes and a crumble of dried chilli, this is one of the most gorgeous and authentic Amatriciana sauces you will ever make. And it owes largely to that pure fat.

Mavisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kitchen at the base of Mt Warning might be nearly impossible to get into for Sunday lunch â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they regularly turn away up to 50 people then â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s well worth persisting. Besides, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always the option of dinners there (Friday and Saturday nights only) when sitting out on the verandah of the gracious old Queenslander is nothing less than romantic. The food is fabulous, a touch oldfashioned, many of the ingredients sourced from the gardens below and the servings big. Best of all is the fact you can really make a night of it then repair to one of the three â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;cabinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; available. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an old dairy, a log cabin and a farmhouse to choose from, all beautifully appointed and self-contained. The Farmhouse, in particular, merits consideration for groups of up to 8 people or three couples wanting a great-value perfect country retreat. Mavisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kitchen & Cabins can be found at 64 Mt Warning Road, Uki â&#x20AC;&#x201C; phone 6679 5664 to make reservations.

BELLE EPOQUE Describing itself as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;a new breed of provincial French diningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, Belle Epoque in Brisbane boasts a produce-driven menu and an extraordinary all-French wine-list â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which includes a 1989 Chateau dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Yquem for a tidy $1300. The bar completely lines one wall and from 11am every day you can perch yourself there and order things like Quiche Lorraine, or Cod Brandade with Gribiche Sauce, or perhaps a 75% La Fee absinthe. The bistro has recently unveiled a Tasting Plate which celebrates the flavours of France and showcases seasonal produce. Available every day for lunch, it costs $30 per plate and dishes change daily. Belle Epoque is at 1000 Ann Street, in Fortitude Valley.

Mullum mechanic is a wizz on a ski

Soccer’s on for 2009

Emma Harris has triumphed on her return to jet ski racing after a five year break, when she was asked by Kawasaki Australia, Brisbane Jet Skis and SeaDoo to compete on a race prepared Kawasaki SXR800.

Emma, who is a motorcycle mechanic in the family business, Mullumbimby Motorcycles and Jet Skis, only had one week to get used to the craft and practice before the first competition.

Originally from Ipswitch, Emma raced on the Australian Jet Sports Tour until she injured her back in 1998 and took a break from racing, but not before she was named the Australian Champion that same year. Emma returned to racing in 2004 and won two Australian titles before the recurring back issues sidelined her for another three years.

Before her injury, Emma also raced at the World Titles on Lake Havasu, Arizona in the US, where she qualified for the finals and finished 11th overall.

visitors began to tire and it was no surprise when man of the match Duane Moseles doubled the advantage.

A third was added soon after when Jonathan Flantz put in an early bid for goal of the season. The cultured midfielder controlled a high ball from Chris Fenwick before shrugging off the attentions of three defenders to place the ball home and seal a 3-0 victory.

The super seconds looked like making it three wins out of three when 2008 Player of the Year Ryan Gray put them ahead against Alstonville with a trademark blistering drive after 15 minutes.

The game turned sour for the home side on the stroke of half time when the visitors were awarded a penalty and influential defender Jono Hughes was carried from the field with a suspected broken ankle.

Despite some intense second half pressure from the Valley boys they were not able to find the net and it finished at one apiece.

In recent events Emma came first in the Pro Women’s 800 Ski at the Queensland Flat Water Titles in March and in the same event came third at the Australian Flat Water Titles and won the event at the Australian

Surf Titles and came second in the men’s event, competing in waves over 4 metres high in messy, unpredictable and dangerous conditions which eventually caused the cancellation of the event.

‘I was overwhelmed with the results,’ said Emma after her second place in the Australian Titles. ’I was aiming for a top 5 placing, but to finish as the Australian champion against the guys was the best.’

Pine Avenue was bathed in autumn sunshine for the first home fixture of the season and the vocal home crowd was treated to enterprising performances from all three Brunswick Valley sides.

The unbeaten fighting fifths got off to a flyer, romping home 5-1 over a lacklustre Goonellabah. Marcus Hager was inspirational in the middle of the park and Ray Musgrave proved that he is back with a vengeance, grabbing a superb hat trick to put the Mullum side in the driving seat.

New signing Rick Azzopardi topped off an excellent home debut by adding his name to the score sheet before the visitors pulled one back in the second half.

A late strike from Graham Riches made it 5-1. The fab fourths enjoyed a lot of the possession against Lennox Head, but could not find a way through until Mitya VibertGigue beat the keeper inside the near post on the hour.

End of season athletes tri it on in Byron In its fourteenth outing, 860 athletes swam, cycled and ran the fifty one and a half kilomtres of the Byron Bay Triathlon course.

The first three competitors across the line were professional triathletes Leon Griffin from Glenroy in Victoria) in a time of 1:51:58, Paul Ambrose from Alfords Pt in NSW with 1:52:44 and Tweed Heads competitor Brian Fuller crossing the line after 1:55:21 of hard yakka. The first female home was Rachael Paxton from Cotton Tree in Queensland in 2:05:41.

The conditions for the race were excellent, a perfect day providing blue sky, crystal clear water and a tail wind for the road leg on the way home.

Competitors had only praise for the race and how it was run, taking time to thank the volunteers who helped out on the day and congratulated them on a great event, many saying that Byron is one of their favourite races as it is relaxed and well organised.

The 1pm start is also attractive to competitors, especially those who live a distance from the event as they don’t have to rush around in the morning on event day.

Spectators as well as participants descended on the Bay and there was a great crowd there cheering on all the com-

petitors in the biggest field yet.

Athletes have said they love how the community, even those not involved in the event itself get behind the race and and come out to support.

Proceeds from the event go to the Byron Bay Surf Life Saving Club, Brunswick Valley Rescue Squad, the Breast

Cancer Foundation and also the local Breast Cancer Support Group.

Prizes valued at close to $2,500 were awarded at the presentation where 1st, 2nd and 3rd in each age category, the team events, the male and female winners and the mixed division claimed a prize.

Event co-ordinator Jacque Hogan said the event was a huge success and one that has made its mark on the triathlon circuit. ’Congratulations must be extended to all the locals who competed in the Triathlon,’ she said after the event on Sunday. ‘Today was a great day for everyone with

an event that strongly supports the town with many interstate competitors coming to compete and stay for the week after the event to relax as this race is the last Triathlon on the NSW Triathlon Calendar.

Leading junior dirt bike racer Tom McCormack, put in a stellar performance at the weekend during round one of the Yamaha South East Queensland Two Day Enduro Series, held at Cherrabah Resort.

The 16-year-old Yamaha rider from Byron Bay was the fastest junior by more than 1.5minutes after the seven special tests. McCormack’s times were so quick in some of the special tests he even beat some of the Pro Class senior racers.

‘Everything went well, I had a really good weekend with some really tough competition,’ said McCormack.‘Everyone had stepped it up this weekend, my competition was riding really well. I rode my best and put my head down and it worked for me.’

The dedicated rider said the enduro race at the weekend was run in time rally format, about six hours on the motorbike and three to four timed special test phases each day – his YZ250F ran flawlessly.

McCormack’s next competition will be rounds 3 and 4 of the Yamaha Australian Off Road Championship (AORC) this weekend at Blayney.

‘I’ve really stepped up my game and I think I have a really good chance at winning,’ he said. ‘I’m sitting second in Junior Lites, which is the highest class for Juniors, after the

Mungo’s Crossword first published in The Week.

ARIES: Rather than unproductive arguing, let your innate Aries inspiration advise you what’s best for situations rather than just bucking against present pressures. Get Mars and Venus, your giving and receiving sides, working together in synch and this could be an exceptional week.

CANCER: This week’s discordant vibes could make decisions difficult, but if you showcase Snappy Crab others won’t want to stick around. Better to stay away from confrontational situations for now and focus instead on the galaxy of ways you can have fun without maxing the plastic.

TAURUS: A change of scenery would do you the world of good right now. But even without it, input from friends is particularly helpful and having a giant throw out’s highly recommended. Your health’s on the line this week so take care of it by getting both exercise and rest.

LEO: The present star scenario’s likely to see you at your most um, inflexible. But if family, career or social issues are up and running, the answer is to simplify – everything – and stay available to any sort of fair compromise. We all have to adapt, Majesties.

GEMINI: Relationships are going to need extra effort this week so pay attention to your interactions with neighbours, relatives, colleagues and whoever you deal with most on a daily basis. May as well, because new projects won’t get the green light for another three weeks…

VIRGO: With misunderstandings flavor of the day criticism can be very upsetting – but kind words will be equally affecting, so give careful consideration to what you say and how you say it. While this week won’t offer everything you want, it will give you everything you need.

Last month’s Asian Cities Championship in Beirut was a sad reminder that a great concept could be ruined by corruption and politics, even in chess’s fastest growing region.

The Asian Cities Championships began in Hong Kong in 1979, the brainchild of Australian Leslie Collings, at that time working in the then British colony for the Nugan Hand bank.

Collings organised sponsorship by another bank, HSBC, and the tournament really took off in 1980 when China, just entering the international chess arena, decided to send a team to Hong Kong for the second Asian Cities tournament.

One year later, the Chinese sent three teams, and there the problems began.

Over the following four tournaments, the Chinese arrived with strict orders that a chosen Chinese team – Beijing or Shanghai – must win at all costs.

The other Chinese teams were ordered to throw their games against their compatriots, which they did in double-quick time; all

COOPERS SHOOT CLASSIC

Tuscany comes a distant second compared to the superb view enjoyed by this beautiful big home and pool on acreage in the belle of Byron’s immediate hinterland – Coopers Shoot.

Green hills roll down through dairy farms and coffee and nut plantations before giving way to forested headlands and expanses of blue ocean and surf. Different aspects of this everchanging vista can be taken in from any of three living areas or from hundreds of square metres of deck, or from the pool area which includes two pavilions and a 14-metre lap pool attached to a conventional 8 metre by 4.5 metre pool.

The backdrop to this is 3.75 verdant hectares (9.38 acres) of extensively landscaped and rocked-terraced grounds that also feature a stand of vestigial rainforest and three lagoons, two of which are spring-fed and rock-retained.

The brick, render and tile-roofed home has four bedrooms.

The master has an ensuite, and a double bedroom downstairs has its own toilet and is ideal for guests. A large separate rumpus/studio/garage has a second laundry with extensive built-ins.

The property also has a very large garage/machinery shed and massive rainwater storage capacity, not to mention the vege garden.

This is all situated equidistant between Byron’s peerless beaches and Bangalows’s bucolic charm and sophisticated but low-key café society. In fact, it’s so close to Byron’s beaches you wake to the sound of the surf every morning.

And the view, once again, is bordering on breathtaking.

Justice C J Preston wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exactly complimentary about Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s planning department report on the Splendour DA for Yelgun â&#x20AC;&#x201C; see front page and Comment. And following a resolution from Council the various planners and compliance officers who looked after a long chain of approvals at the Byron Bay Arts Factory since 2000 and some councillors are subject of an independent investigation commissioned by the general manager into such matters as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;the conduct of the planning process especially as it pertains to the involvement of the elected councillorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;the regime of inspection and follow-up of planning inconsistencies and general compliance mattersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not ICAC, but the report back to Council should prove interesting.

Salty Pete, aka Max Strong, is shocked to read the latest in The Echo but not half as shocked as Mullumbimbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Morrison Avenue postman who has to choose from dozens of letterboxes along his fenceline. Salty Peteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s letterboxes are all handmade from found or recycled materials and are priced from $40. Five bucks from each sale goes toward ground beautification at Mullumbimby Public School. Salty Pete is on 6684 6548. Photo Lou Beaumont.

Byron Youth Service and the Department of Lands over the Youth Activities Centre take an interesting turn. We understand one option may be a lease between DoL and BYS over the Crown Land which would exclude Council from a management role. In that case we hope ratepayers would get some compensation for the hundreds of thousands of dollars Council has spent on the building. â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013;
