Leticia raises funds for flood victims Story & photo Lou Beaumont

Leticia Chapman, a 16 year old Year 11 student from Lennox Head, is doing her bit for victims of the latest floods. As part of the Event Management course of her preliminary HSC course at Xavier Catholic College, Leticia decided to organise a fundraiser, called Vapour, with the proceeds going towards the local flood and storm victims via the Salvation Army. Leticia told The Echo, ‘I have chosen the Salvation Army as the charity due to their Red Shield Door Knock Appeal being affected by the floods reducing their income to help the community, while at the same time they have been busy providing additional support to the community during the floods.’ The Salvation Army are also providing the stage for the event and innumerable local businesses and en-

tertainers have lent their support. Leticia said, ‘Every business in Ballina Fair that could give us in kind support on the spot [not via a head office] did so generously. I have so many prizes to raffle off I have had to add a chocolate wheel too!’ A breakfast for four donated by the Point Restaurant in Ballina is one raffle prize, the Brisbane Reds league team have donated some memorabilia, and a local family has donated a bottle of Grange too. Three bands are giving their time to the cause, Raz Bin Sam, Liquid Afternoon and Jackson and Jerome, and there will be a jumping castle, face painting and a canteen run by the Ballina Leagues team. Vapour will be held at the Ballina Seagull Rugby Leagues Club at 11am on June 14. Anyone who wishes to support Leticia’s event can call her on 0402 203 183.

Leticia Chapman gives the thumbs up as she receives further generous support for her flood and storm fundraising event.

Brunswick Heads was blessed with magic weather on Saturday, when the town was taken over by all things Old and Gold as thousands flocked like hungry seagulls in search of that elusive trinket and hidden treasure. The program for the day included the All Town Garage Sale which included about 60 houses in and around town flashing their stashes, World Environment Day activities, the Secondhand Fair in the Memorial Hall, Ye Olde Church Fair at Our Lady of Lourdes in Mullumbimbi Street and the inaugural Australian Singles Marbles Championships. Local rescue services provided a dash of excitement with a Jaws of Life demonstration at the VRA shed and the Fire Station’s Open Day with Bernie Cinders. History buffs were also satiated

with the Historical Society’s display at the Memorial Hall, Darryl Bashforth’s big toys, the Bren gun carrier and Tonka toy collection. The oldest car in Bruns was on display at Pearce’s Garage, and of course Frank Mills’s famous historical walk was a popular drawcard. This year, the addition of an enormous program at the Brunswick Heads Public School was the icing on the cake as punters were treated to an abundance of art and craft activities. Organisers were very pleased with what they say is the biggest day yet with record crowds at the event, which was a great fundraising day for many community groups, raising an estimated $8,000. The Old and Gold committee and volunteers created a wonderful festival, and combined with the efforts of Bruns residents, community groups and businesses, the event has certainly

made its mark as one not to miss. The Inaugural Australian Singles Marbles Championships attracted competitors from far and wide. Michael Gray from Ryde in Sydney flew up especially for the event with the hope of stamping his name on the first trophy. ‘My daughter and I hold the Guiness Book of Records title for the longest ever marbles game and this is something else I would like to add to that,’ said Mr Gray before the event. ‘This is a great event. Win or lose, either way I will come back every year until I win it and after that I will come back to defend my title.’ As it turns out Michael will be back for another crack – the winner in the seniors was the winner of last year’s first marble event, Andrew Hanlon from Brisbane who, with grandson Andrew ‘The Boy’ Hanlon, scooped the pool when he won the under 10s section.

The Brunswick Valley Landcare Flora and Fauna Walk, pictured right, was just one of many walks, tours and activities with environmental themes on offer during the World Environment Day schedule. People were able to enjoy sea kayak tours, guided walks into the rainforest, bird sighting walks, indigenous cultural walks, mountain bike tours as well as the annual whale breakfast and information day on Sunday. On Friday Byron Shire Mayor Jan Barham gave out certificates of appreciation as World Environment Day Awards to local groups. The winners were Byron Bird Buddies for efforts in the joint implementation of the Belongil Shorebird Management Plan, wildlife data recording and the delivery of education messages to beach users regarding dog access restrictions; Santos Natural Foods for efforts in the formation of the Santos Ethics Committee and associated Ethics Policy as ethical benchmarks for consumer choice in Byron Shire; Mullumbimby Community Garden for efforts in establishing a community facility to promote sustainable living, community education, healthy lifestyles and social inclusion; Wilsons Creek/Huonbrook Landcare for efforts in obtaining and managing numerous grant applications, increasing group membership to over 50 local landholders, producing quarterly newsletters and coordinating field days and information

Botanist Jo Green and ecologist Brendan Taylor (front) have a well earned rest on the edge of Brunswick beach with their group of World Environment Day walkers. Green and Taylor guided the troops through 7km of sand dunes between Tyagarah and Brunswick Heads where they spotted and learned to identify local birds and plants and saw native rainforest trees reestablishing themselves in the bushland that runs so close to the beach.

Castle may lose highway access in RTA upgrade Victoria Cosford

The 35-year old Macadamia Castle is about to lose its major access from the Pacific Highway, if the RTA has its way. As part of the Tintenbar to Ewingsdale highway upgrade, the Ivy Lane exit has been deleted, meaning it will now be necessary for travellers from the

north to exit 16 kms before the highway or backtrack 8 kms in order to visit the Castle. Apart from the major detrimental effects this will have on the Macadamia Castle business, it will also have an impact upon the ease with which residents and visitors travelling south of Byron (including to Suffolk Park) will be able to leave the

highway. The RTA’s suggestion that many of them will exit at Ewingsdale and travel through the township of Byron Bay is in spectacular disregard of the extra pressure that would then be exerted on the already crowded CBD. According to owner of The Macadamia Castle, Tony Gilding, this plan ‘threatens its very

existence.’ It is the area’s largest employer and a major purchaser of local goods. In addition it is a key trainer of local youth in conjunction with TAFE; provides a safe meeting place for families, school groups and holiday care programs; and is a showcase for local products, stocking over 200 local food items.

Help bring the dream to Woodstock PRE-STOCKTAKE Story & photo Jeff Dawson

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 40 years since they put a man on the moon, and 40 years since Woodstock â&#x20AC;&#x201C; hard to say which one influenced our culture most. As part of a forty years on celebration in upstate New York a photo/journalistic exhibition called Rainbow Dreaming will feature at the Woodstock Museum. Byron region photographers Harsha Prabhu and Graeme Batterbury have curated the words and images as a collection of what they call the Aquarius spirit. To get this â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Rainbow Bridgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to Woodstock Mr Prabhu needs to raise funds. Byron Mayor Jan Barham has kicked off the effort by personally donating $200. Prabhu says: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve missed out on arts grants. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to get this exhibit across to Woodstock by early August. The only way weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to make this happen is if the community steps up to support this projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Paul Spooner, General Manager, Byron Community & Cultural Centre, which is also auspicing the project,

says, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re inviting the community to participate in being a link in this rainbow bridge. All donations over $20 will be acknowledged in the traveling exhibit. Together, we can make this happen!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; A donation point has been set up at the Byron Community & Cultural Centre.

Rainbow Dreaming. Harsha describes the relevance of the exhibition; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;With the winds of change blowing through the world, the 40th anniversary of the Woodstock Festival offers us an unprecedented opportunity to celebrate and promote a sustainable cultural, social, economic and spiritual vision to the world, especially to the youth. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The sixties, the decade that gave birth to the Woodstock

generation, were a time of crisis and change, but also a time of dreams. With the current crisis that the world faces â&#x20AC;&#x201C; poverty, wars, environmental disasters, climate change, faltering economies â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it is now time to dream againâ&#x20AC;Ś to remember the ancient dreams that inspired peoples in times gone by, and to birth new ones. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Rainbow Dreaming is about â&#x20AC;&#x153;dreamingâ&#x20AC;? up a future for us all.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

RTA exhibits Bangalow southern bypass option The RTA is urging the local community to comment on a discussion paper about a possible Bangalow southern bypass. Following requests from the community and local government in August 2008, the then Minister for Roads asked the RTA to carry out an investigation into the possibility of a southern bypass of Bangalow. An RTA spokesperson said the investigation started while the environmental assessment for the proposed Tintenbar to Ewingsdale upgrade was on display for community com-

ment. The preliminary investigation looked at the traffic, environmental issues, community consultations, identification of a possible bypass corridor, an estimate of the building costs and an assessment of the reasons for a possible bypass The Minister for Roads will consider the investigation results and community feedback on the discussion paper to make a decision on whether to develop proposals for a southern bypass of Bangalow. The Bangalow southern bypass discussion paper presents

the findings of the preliminary investigation and is available for community comment until close of business on July 3. The discussion paper is available locally at Byron Shire Council offices in Station Street, Mullumbimby, and Bangalow Post Office Heritage Store, 30

Byron Street, Bangalow. The discussion paper and more information can be found on the RTAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website at www.rta.nsw.gov.au/pacific (click on Tintenbar to Ewingsdale, then Bangalow southern bypass) or by phoning 1800 882 787 (toll free).

Teenager charged over Milliâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death A Sydney teenager has been charged in relation to the death last month of local identity Milli Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Nair. Lawyers representing 18-year-old Mina Nashed have now been told he will face a

charge of dangerous driving causing death. Ms Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Nair, 41, died when she was knocked off her bicycle on the Pacific Highway near Tyagarah.

NRWC committee member, launched the proceedings and, after introducing Robert Drewe and Mungo MacCallum, drew them into a discussion on the sorts of bad experiences they have encountered at past literary festivals. Mungo, who has been with the Byron festival since its inception, (‘I’m practically Neanderthal’, he remarked, ‘ I am Mungo Man from the dawn of festival time...’) referred fleetingly to the lovechild fathered by Bob Ellis at one festival, go-

ing on to say that the ‘worst times at festivals have involved politicians in one way or another.’ Rob Drewe chatted about awkward moments on panels and the several times his name has been confounded with the names of his novels, with amusing results. ‘At least you haven’t been mistaken for Harry Butler’, commented Mungo wryly, who once was. Everyone agreed that the great thing about the Byron Bay Writers Festival was its diverse mix of

cultures, ages and genders, unlike many other festivals which seem to be frequented largely by retirees. The programs are available at local bookstores and distributed generally throughout the Shire. The Festival runs from Friday August 7 through to Sunday August 9, with workshops beginning on Monday August 3. Tickets are available at Jetset on 6685 6262 or online at www.byronbaywritersfestival. com.

Bring out your corks for the community centre Byron Community Centre is hoping to utilise the Shire’s wine drinkers. In a project aimed at reusing and recycling, the Centre is constructing a new noticeboard made entirely of wine bottle corks. Although the production of screw-top bottles is increasing, many, including Mayor Jan Barham, still prefer a cork in their bottle. Jan Barham was the first in line with her most recent collection of corks and the Community Centre is calling for other Byron Shire residents to contribute their corks to the project. Corks can be dropped off between 10am and

4pm Monday to Fridays at the Box Office. While the Centre’s general manager Paul Spooner stresses that he is not encouraging people to drink more, it is hoped that the community will support the project. Staff at The Echo have already committed to only drinking claret with a cork in the bottle. It is expected that The Echo will be a major contributor.

It didn’t rain, for a start. Such auspicious preludes can only bode well for the 2009 Byron Bay Writers Festival. The program launch, held in the Verandah Room of the Byron Bay Community and Cultural Centre, was a low-key, highspirited affair. Festival Director Jeni Caffin introduced the evening, describing how the recent tempestuous weather and resultant power failures had nearly rendered impossible the printing of the programs in time – (‘I had visions of doing them all painstakingly by hand’, she joked) – but that Quality Plus Printers in Ballina came to the rescue. In fact, she went on to say, there had been a huge level of support from various businesses throughout the region. Noting that it was her third Festival, she said that she was just ‘really relieved that the ideas keep coming’. One hundred writers, ninety panels, literary lunches, feature events, workshops and book launches will be offered to attendees across five marquees on the site. Big names such as Geoffery Robertson, Peter Singer, Rachel Perkins, Wendy Harmer and Tom Kenneally will feature alongside exciting new writers from home and abroad. Russell Eldridge,

Uber-marathon for cancer research Story & photo Jeff Dawson

You could be forgiven for thinking Craig Goozee was a ping or two short of a satnav system when he left Australia Square headed for the Opera House. Most of us would go down George, across Circular Quay and Bob’s your uncle. Not Craig, he headed over the Harbour Bridge and after seven days crossed the Brunswick River and the Queensland border. He will continue to run, ride and paddle his kayak to Rockhampton where he’ll turn left, keeping an eye out for another left when he hits Broome. He’ll slip down through Kalgoorlie, hang a left at Norseman and back across to Melbourne. From there Goozee will hop across to Tassie (the one leg he will fly) then back to Melbourne before the uphill trek (well, it looks uphill on the map) back to Sydney, all this he calculates he can do in 92 days. When asked by The Echo how the trip was going so far Craig laconically answered, ‘Wet!’ He added, ‘The first couple of days

Good time to donate to community foundation Victoria Cosford

John Bennett of the Northern Rivers Community Foundation (NRCF), pictured, sees it as an image issue. ‘There’s this perception,’ he explains, ‘that NCWF is a bit elitist, expecting enormous donations from the very wealthy.’ He goes on to stress that, on the contrary, anyone can make a difference toward helping others with even the smallest contribution – and thereby feel involved. Which is why there is a letterbox drop inviting everyone to donate something, as little as $5 if they choose, to this exceedingly worthy organisation. Operating for about five years now, NRCF ‘aims to act as the umbrella donor for all charitable causes throughout our region’, according to one of its newsletters. John has been with the organisation from the very beginning and works tirelessly alongside the rest of the team – or ‘family’ as they prefer to see themselves – in networking and raising funds. Donations and fundraising are the cor-

nerstones of the foundation, pooled and invested ethically with the capital held in perpetuity. Some of the recipients of the funding are BYS, the Fatherhood Project, Byron Shire Early Childhood Intervention, Byron Emergency Accommodation Program – the list is long.

‘We help you help others’ is one of the slogans along with ‘locals helping locals’. Over the past few years the foundation has distributed over $85,000 to 27 community groups and local charities in need of support. Regular information nights and cocktail parties are held throughout the year at private homes and are instrumental in spreading the word about NCRF throughout the community, as well as providing social opportunities and networking. ‘Any amount you can afford’, John says, ‘will be very much appreciated: the idea of being involved in such a fabulous concept is the key thing.’ He urges people to donate before the end of the financial year, especially if it’s just a ‘one-off ’ contribution. Above all, the NRCF is about sustaining wellbeing throughout the community by assisting groups that already create great spirit and do good. Anyone wanting further information or donation forms can contact John Bennett on 6687 1492, or refer to www.nrcf.org.au.

Richard Jansenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan is to cycle all around Australia. In three months heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s made it from Melbourne to Byron Bay; he figures it may take him about a year to complete the trip. Richard is cycling for depression â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and yet what started out to be a fundraising exercise between Melbourne and Cairns has evolved into an experience which is changing his life. Sponsored by organisations like Lifeline, Kathmandu and Melbourne Bicycle Centre, he covers up to 100km a day, sleeps in a tent at night, and finds himself talking to people constantly about depression. Everyone will at some time in his or her life be affected by depression â&#x20AC;&#x201C; their own or someone elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x201C; according to Australian government statistics. Depression disorders annually affect approximately 9.5% of the population aged 18 years and over. It was a condition Richard himself suffered, unknowingly, for years and years. Despite loving his high-powered profession as national salesman for a large printing company, he found himself increasingly forced to hide the spirals into which he periodically plummeted â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;like

being sucked down a drainpipeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, he describes it. Relationship breakdowns, investments in side businesses which backfired, confrontations with his abusive father all eventually culminated in three attempts at suicide. He even managed to hide these from his workplace and it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t until a major office altercation occurred that he and his enormously supportive boss faced the fact that something was terribly wrong. He offered his resignation which was refused: his boss told him instead to take 12 months off to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;sort everything outâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. And so he decided to procure himself a bicycle and start training for a ride which

would endeavour to raise funds toward helping others with the affliction as well as to increase awareness of it â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to get out into the community and attempt to make a difference. He spent three months preparing and training, financing most of it himself â&#x20AC;&#x201C; then set off, having little idea how many hundreds of stories he would encounter and how many lives he would touch. There was the ex-cyclist who was drinking heavily and who, upon hearing about Richard, asked him if he could ride with him some of the way, to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;get back on trackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Richard deviated from his planned route in order to do so and now they chat every night.

Another womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s manic depressive father became so inspired by his story that he is improving daily. So much so that Richard is no longer as certain if he will return to his old job and its concomitant luxury lifestyle and high pressure. He wants to live simply, and help other people; he would love to work as a one-on-one counsellor for other sufferers of depression. From an unfit 90kg, he has so far cycled his way down to around 73kg of lean, broadshouldered muscle. A typical dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s diet starts with lots of cereal and he will go on eating all day, stopping every 25km or so, working his way through a loaf of bread, eight bananas, apples, three tins of tuna then having an evening meal when he finally comes to a halt. He gleams. During the recent cyclonic storms he was struck by lightning just north of Ulmurra and fortunately rescued by a family who took him into their farmhouse. He slept for two entire days after the incident. He says that all the pain he endures throughout the journey will be worth it if he can save just one person from suffering to the degree he did. You can follow Richardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s progress via his blog â&#x20AC;&#x201C; visit www.arideforalife.com.au.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I never want to have to cross the street to avoid you.â&#x20AC;?

May was Autism Month, and in celebration, the Aspect Far North Coast Centre will be holding their annual Family Day on June 20 from 10am to 1pm at Summerland House with No Steps in Alstonville. Funded by the Good Guys Ballina, supporters of the Aspect Far North Coast Centre since May 2007 and raising $7,000 so far, the Family Day offers local families of children

with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) an opportunity to be with other families in similar situations. Autism Month aimed to generate greater awareness about ASDs which affects one in 160 Australians. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;A growing number of local families are in need of support,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; says Jodi Rodgers, manager of the Aspect Far North Coast Centre.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Aspect hopes to raise much needed funds to sustain and grow its many ASD services, including those on the far north coast. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Family Day is one of the many programs we provide that benefits the whole family, 300 people attending last year. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a day where parents, siblings and friends can mix and create ongoing connections in the community.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

The Aspect Far North Coast Centre plays a vital role in helping families of people with an ASD in the NorthernRivers region, by providing a comprehensive resource library and a range of programs, including early intervention, parent support networks and assistance for local service providers. To register your familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attendance at the Family Day at Alstonville, phone 6628 3660.

Bullying is bad news

Caring for carers

Faulkner’s previous job was as cabinet secretary, and also as Special Minister of State, a portfolio which has been treated with a certain cynicism in the past. When Fred Daly, jokester and numbers man, held it during Gough Whitlam’s government, he described himself as ‘The Minister for Winning Elections’, and so it frequently seemed. Among other things the job entails the oversight of the

laws to protect whistleblowers; and, most importantly, he has undertaken massive reform to Australia’s much abused Freedom of Information legislation. These are changes which, if honestly implemented, will not only vastly improve Australia’s system of government, but could be a major step in restoring public respect for the tarnished political process. In his spare time, Faulkner also looked at wider questions

Fitzgibbon’s legacy may well proceed under John Faulkner, whose bullshit detector remains the sharpest in the parliament. by Mungo MacCallum Electoral Commission with its responsibility for electoral boundaries and redistributions, for resolving polling disputes and policing donations to political parties. The Commission is, of course, legally independent, but the minister still has a key role in setting its agenda. Ministers from both sides have, in the past, shown no reluctance to do so in the hope of securing political advantage for their parties. But Faulkner is different. A longtime student and critic of the system as it exists, he is a sincere reformer. In his relatively brief tenure he has attempted to enhance and improve the integrity and transparency of the donations regime – a move vehemently opposed by Malcolm Turnbull and his coalition; he has tackled the difficult problem of government advertising in accordance with Rudd’s election promise to take the politics out of it; he has set up a body to monitor ethics within the public service and foreshadowed

of government accountability and of public participation in the whole democratic process, with special concern for inarticulate and disadvantaged groups such as Aboriginal Australians. This broad and fairminded philosophical concern would be rare within the party system at any time; coming from one of the most pragmatic, seasoned and powerful members of a naturally cautious government it is virtually unique. One can only hope that Faulkner’s successor, the relatively untried Joe Ludwig, has the will, guts and influence to push on with it. Ludwig is, of course, one of the indirect beneficiaries of Fitzgibbon’s demise and the simultaneous decision of the Home Affairs minister, Bob Debus, to head for the sidelines on his way off the field. The fact that others included Chris Bowen, Greg Combet and Mark Arbib prompted the more excitable members of the opposition to start hinting darkly at the power of the dreaded

right wing mafia from New South Wales: ‘Payback time!’ they cried, implying that the appointments were almost as evil as Rudd’s acceptance of a second-hand ute as a campaign vehicle. But apart from the obvious – all three promotions could be very easily justified on sheer merit – the timing of the accusation was unfortunate, in that it coincided with a series of articles explaining that Rudd’s deputy, Julia Gillard, was now universally accepted within the party as the natural heir to the leadership should St Kevin succumb to premature martyrdom. Nothing signals more clearly the breaking of the power of the faction system, and of the New South Wales Right in particular. Julia Gillard is a member (or perhaps in these non-factional times one should say ex-member) of the Victorian Socialist Left, the sworn ancestral enemies of the previously dominant Right. Even three years ago she would have been utterly unacceptable to the New South Wales enforcers; indeed, the last time the party even toyed with the idea of lefty leader was when Jim Cairns challenged Gough Whitlam back in 1968. Now, while the heavies are not quite prepared to offer Gillard public endorsement, they are resigned – even content – to accept her as the natural alternative. Her energy, talent and sheer bloody-mindedness have won them round. The factions are not utterly dead and buried; they still hold desultory meetings and see themselves and each other as blocs to negotiate outcomes within the broader caucus. But their power to make and break is over. This is one of Rudd’s great gifts to his party. It is yet to be seen if he can deliver the benefits to the system as a whole

Belongil storm still brewing In relation to the crisis at Belongil, the Byron community has to question – just what is the real agenda of Mayor Barham, and Councillors Richardson, Heeson, Tabart and Cameron? The action they have taken cannot possibly be taken in the name of green politics or caring for our environment. It is well documented and widely accepted that losing Belongil will be a potential disaster for downtown Byron. It is widely documented and widely accepted that the swimming pool and associated works downtown have caused the unnatural rate of erosion at Belongil. But put all that aside. Put aside the politics, the experts’ reports, the petty jealousies or whatever else may come into the equation – and consider this simple fact – we live here. Our homes are here, our families are here, we live here! What part of that don’t they understand? People’s homes and potentially lives are at risk – what part of that don’t they understand? We all want Byron Council to be a green Council – that’s why we like living here – but in this matter they are acting with some other agenda. I wonder what their reaction would be if any of them or their parents or children lived at Belongil? I wonder how they would have voted then? ■

They are playing a very dangerous political game which could end up costing the Byron community a lot of money – and just for the record, not one of the abovenamed Councillors has had the courage to respond to our emails.

Council to drop the suggested bypass and plan building a bridge instead, similar to the one connecting Bribie Island to the Australian mainland? Or a ferry service between Ewingsdale and Paterson Hill?

How do the King Canutes of the Belongil Spit, who insist that their erosion problems are all due to Council’s rock wall at the swimming pool, explain the fact that the Belongil Spit, west of Manfred Street, lost nearly half its length and more than half its area between 1883 and the 1940s? No Council rock wall to blame then – maybe it is a long term erosion trend, just as the PWD said in 1978. And if Council’s rock wall is responsible for erosion 1km west at Belongil, then whose rock walls might be responsible for erosion 1km west of Belongil at the Becton site? ■

still an issue. Those who remain concerned about Splendour’s intentions for that land need that reminder. Sue Higginson of the EDO also recently made the same point about rezoning, and her perspective is also welcome. So thanks, John, for keeping us focused on this issue. And thanks to you, Tom, for pointing out that rezoning measures must be considered a part of the LEP process. In addition, I hope Council will put an events policy in place soon that will provide guidance for events across the shire and that will not allow rezoning to be used as a tool for inappropriate development.

The life of the virus Retired plant virologist Adrian Gibbs (Peter Olson’s letter, May 19) did suggest that the H1N1 virus may be a lab escapee. In the interview Gibbs also stated that science progresses when ‘somebody comes up with a wild idea’ and it is discredited, and ‘then you start off on another silly idea’. (1) In addition, the World Health Organisation, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the researchers at Cambridge University who specialise in the evolution of influenza viruses all suggest that there are other explanations for the genetics of the H1N1 virus, and that extensive analyses of the genetic

À i Ê i>`Ê+Õ>ÀÀÞÊ >ÀÌ Ü À Ã the old Walkers Meatworks site on Childe Street last year. At one end of Childe Street within 50 metres of the front dune, sorry, erosion escarpment, there are bulldozers and graders building the new Walkers subdivision. At the other end of Childe Street, Council was in court last week getting an injunction to stop homeowners protecting their homes. Only a few years ago, a judge in the Land and Environment Court ruled that the Meatworks site could not be developed and all you could build on the entire block was a demountable house. You couldn’t even get a dual occupancy on three hectares! Suddenly, and without notice to the rest of us, you can subdivide land in the 7f2 zone and you can build 19 new homes on land within the impact erosion area. But, and it’s a very big but, you can’t protect an existing dwelling from storm damage and you can’t rely on an existing consent for beach restoration works. Looking at the aerial photos in last week’s paper, you have to ask: Who is going to pay to provide beach protection for the 19 new homes approved by Council?

In among the calamity of the financial world, the sigh of relief that Obama is in and the reality that Rudd is better than Howard â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but still a politician â&#x20AC;&#x201C; two key issues have slipped under most peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s radar. They need our focus, concern and above all, action! May 1 BHPBilliton put on display its EIS for turning Olympic Dam near Roxby South Australia into the biggest uranium mine in the world and the largest hole in the ground on the planet. The Big Australian wants permission from government to dump 70mil-

lion tonnes annually of finely ground radioactive waste at the surface of the mine for generations to come. That huge volume of radioactive dust size particles, from all the science Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve read, will see a radical spike in cancers and birth defects. As the crow flies itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only 1300km to Sydney, about the same to us in Byron Shire, and the wind blows in an easterly direction with that toxic stuff easily entering our lungs, the food chain or water table. The real traditional owners are opposed to it. The company is doing the usual PR job â&#x20AC;&#x201C; jobs

and export earnings. But for us smucks on the ground itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an environmental disaster if we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop it. Please go to www.roxstopaction.org and surf it for more information. To make a public submission opposing the mine, follow the links. The EIS is huge. So unless youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a rocket scientist, click on the executive summaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for an overview and then make your voice heard before August 7. Secondly, if you love this country and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to see it enmeshed with the US military machine still further,

please take a stand and come to Shoalwater Bay near Rockhampton in July to oppose the US-Australian militaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s war â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;gamesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need 15,000 Yanks steaming and flying from the other side of the world, from Iraq and Afghanistan, to bomb our shores, sail nuclear warships into the endangered Great Barrier Reef and burn up hundreds of thousands of tonnes more fossil fuel so they can hone their skills in how to kill more innocent people.

have occurred in Eurasia. Once picked up by a human host viruses travel easily as two billion commercial passengers fly around the world each year. For example, one Canadian farm worker picked up H1N1 infection from Mexico, returned to Canada and infected the pigs on the farm he worked at. Olson goes on to suggest that the 1918 Spanish flu was engineered (presumably by the Nazis!). Historically, we get three flu pandemics per century, and these have occurred for many centuries before humans knew what a virus was, let alone how to isolate and inject one. Pandemics have occurred by the age old means of natural reassortment of human, avian

and swine flu viruses. Scientific enquiry will continue and we may get a definitive answer on how H1N1 evolved. In the meantime, the simplest (but not the only) explanation is what has regularly occurred in nature for centuries. Undoubtedly though, conspiracy theories are more fun! 1. http://bloomberg.com/ apps/news?pid=20601087&sid =aShZig0Cig4g&refer=home 2. http://blogs.sciencemag. org/scienceinsider/2009/04/ exclusive-cdc-h.html

year old daughter (Echo, June 2). Take for instance Byron Shire Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reassuring letter sent out to people who recently expressed concern about Woolworthsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; s68 application. We have all been comforted, placated even, to hear that Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report recommends councillors refuse the s68. The irony is, however, that Council themselves have prepared a document specially for Woolworths outlining how they might get their sewer-ona-bog approved. In another ironic twist of the arm, we the ratepayers are footing the bill! The nub of this irony will be whether or not Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;pragmaticâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; recommendations to Woolworths will meet local government OSM require-

from ordinary flu. The chief of virology at the CDC stated that early analyses suggested that there had been outbreaks over the past decade of flu viruses in swine that combined strains from several species. (2) Secondly, pigs may not sprout tiny wings and flap across the ocean, but there is a roaring trade in live animals worldwide. The CDC suggests that the North American swine flu viruses were probably exported to Asia as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;many countries import [pigs] from the US [and] donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t check for [swine flu]â&#x20AC;&#x2122; because it is not an economically important infection. So mixing of Eurasian and North American swine flu sequences may

LEP’S biodiversity flaws In planning for biodiversity conservation it is necessary to prioritise areas of land for the amount of expenditure and relative time till management action is implemented; ideally in a way that will optimise conservation outcomes. Since I cannot in one letter deal with all the shortcomings and failings of the Byron Biodiversity Conservation Strategy (BBCS) and the sections of the draft LEP that are built on it, I will focus on one fatal flaw. Hank Bower (Echo, April 21) makes the point that in the BBCS a linear ranking of vegetated areas was performed by adding scores across 23 criteria. This process is simply not valid, as has been shown in the scientific literature many times. This is because many of these criteria will be correlated, since (a) listed threatened ecosystems are also of (b) limited extent and (c) have a low per

cent reserved. Therefore these three criteria are substantially redundant and consequently to add these criteria together upgrades sites that rank highly for these criteria. This inevitably downgrades those areas which score low for these criteria but high in others, such as the number of threatened species they support. Therefore by using this procedure there is a distortion in the real relative rankings of vegetated patches. The same problem applies to many if not most of the other 20 criteria which occur in similar clusters with the same problem of redundancy amongst criteria. Consequently it is invalid to add the scores of the total number of criteria as was done in the BBCS to prioritise patches of vegetation. It follows that since the relative ranking of sites was not validly performed the biodiversity related plans outlined in the draft

LEP are based on a misleading foundation. There is a statistical procedure that will weed out the criteria counted multiple times, and therefore focus down on the subset of independent values, which is what we and the council want. To do this Byron Shire Council needs to conduct a multi-variate analysis and perform a dimension reducing ordination to determine how many independent values associated with biodiversity they are really planning for. This will encompass a small subset of the 23 criteria that were pseudo-scientifically added together. This will help to establish a valid underpinning for biodiversity conservation, if not in the current, then a future LEP. I am very happy to assist Byron Shire Council conduct this analysis.

duced health complaints without being aware of the cause. So the Council register needs to be used in the way first intended, which would have to result in Council immediately withdrawing its consent for the spraying of our beaches. When Dr David Suzuki, world renowned environmental scientist spoke in Byron Bay five years ago, he supported the ROAR (Residents Organised Against Roundup) campaign, saying that yes, Roundup was dangerous and that yes, it killed frogs.

Chemical sprays drift for 25 kilometres on a still day. It does not take much imagination to calculate how far fallout from aerial spray will travel. Council has been repeatedly informed of the dangers of Roundup and should never have approved the wholesale aerial spraying of the Shire. It is time for a class action of people affected by this latest assault. The lack of awareness re Roundup for a community with a green consciousness is difficult to understand. It is a bizarre experience for me to arrive back after three months

away and find people flocking to buy organic produce at the Farmers Market, to a backdrop of a severely poisoned waterway and a ditch alongside the market grounds which has been sprayed to overkill.

Honour the poets I live in Giaour Street. This is a Turkic word meaning ‘unbeliever’, their equivalent of the

Arabic word that translates as ‘infidel’. I wondered how my little street came to have this rather odd name until I read a volume of poetry by the mad, bad, and dangerous to know Lord Byron. As it turns out The Giaour was one of his big early hits. I don’t think it’s a terribly great poem but it does have some good lines in it, such as ‘In the desert a stranger’s footsteps are welcome’. So, my street was named after his poem. Similarly, Childe Street was named not after some bloke named Childe but after another poem by the late Lord. (Our

Sweet Lord?) The old custom of naming the streets of Byron Bay after poets or their works has always seemed to me a charming and enlightened one, and I think everyone should read the works of their local poets. Rather disappointingly, however, since the seventies the opportunity to bring in the names of modern poets, and I would particularly note the contributions of the great lyric poets, has been overlooked in favour of kind of pointless names like Beachcomber Drive. Yeah, original. Stylish. Not. I propose a local referendum on renaming the streets. I’d like a Lennon Street which would ideally intersect with McCartney Street. A Ginsberg Avenue. Kerouac Crescent. Plath Lane. Jagger, Richards, Bon Scott, Marley, Cohen, and of course Dylan all deserve a go. I’d throw in Morrison as well but definitely not Morissey. Gaynor and Biafra. Does this appeal to you? I think it will give us a far more interesting town. I think it would be a useful symbolic step back toward an arts and health based community. Keine Nombre

Further to my letter of May 26 and Jim Inness’s interesting comments about the Napier Enquiry that followed the Great Depression, other readers have drawn my attention to some great sources for understanding where we are heading and why. The best is The Crash Course – a series of 20 short lectures freely available at www.chrismartensen.com. Highly recommended – take it, we are on it! It clearly explains the links between exponential growth in debt/money, exponential population growth, exponential resource depletion and cheap energy; and the scenario as the last named runs out, exponentially! By Samah El-Shaat, their resident economist, Al Jazeera is running a series of articles analysing the GFD (Downturn not Crisis) and its impacts around the world; her first article, ‘Money and Power, a toxic bond’ is excellent; you will not read this series in The Austral-

ian! See it at http://english.aljazeera.net But for an explicit analysis of the Australian situation go to www.debtdeflation.com/blogs/ for here, Prof Steve Keen of the University of Western Sydney sets it all out. Somewhat technical in places but authoritative. In Debtwatch No. 35 he explains how the Treasury Budget modellings incredibly show that the greatest financial crisis in living memory will have a much smaller impact than those in the last 30 years! (It was one of the basic assumptions fed into the modelling in the first place!) But there is much more about how neo-classical economics has come to define our present way of living and working and our future. And the ABC has joined the ‘it’s time’ movement in understanding money with the BBC series, The Ascent of Money; Thursday evening, a must watch. The first recalled that usury, the charging of interest on loans, was prohibited in all major religions. That the Biblical proscriptions have been totally ignored by Christians explains much of the present scene today. The second, on Bonds and the Bond Market, showed the influence of bond dealers on governments, wars and pension funds. All of these, collectively and individually, show what a huge task faces us, the citizenry, in getting our political system to react to this crisis and its sequels, in ways that are in our favour – and that of our grandchildren and the environment they will inhabit. But these links can also empower – can we hope for an exponential growth in knowledge and understanding and thus, truly sustainable development and democracy? Colin Cook

There are two certainties, we are born and then we die. Paradoxically, birth is met with excitement and cultural engagement, and death is traditionally faced with dread and denial. Expectant mothers and partners attend birth classes, read parenting magazines and are bombarded with a range of choices to inform their experience. Those who face the death of a loved one are afforded no such luxury. The culture of death has been one of secrecy and taboo, with grief-stricken friends and family having to make critical decisions in short timeframes with very little resources available to inform their choices. Local celebrant and founding member of the Natural Death Centre, Zenith Virago, photographer Claire Leimbach and artist and educator, Trypheyna McShane, have collaborated to produce a very important and inspirational book, The Intimacy of Death and Dying, which demystifies death by making gentle conversation of one of our greatest fears. In doing this, the authors address the myriad of issues that surround death to empower and challenge readers to contemplate available choices. They do this by sharing a

stories needed their funerals to have meaning as the final tribute to their loved one. While the pressure of an impending ceremony galvanises family and friends in the days after a death, the book also illustrates how important those days are leading up to a funeral are in the grieving process to spend time with the deceased. The book features 12 stories from the north coast from the last 15 years, including an extraordinary account by Tony Narracott detailing his journey from cancer diagnosis to his Awakening party, the wake Tony held before his death. The stories in this book had me in tears, some even made me sob, but not from sadness, more from the sense of shared compassion of someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s experience and the miracle of wisdom that people can achieve as a gift of their suffering. The book will be launched in Sydney on June 4 at Adyar and at the Byron Writerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Festival on Sunday August 9 at 2.30pm. In the meantime the writers will be having a public talk and local launch at the Byron Bay Community Centre on Thursday June 25 at 7pm. The authors will be present along with contributors to the book. The Intimacy of Death and Dying is available through Allen & Unwin.

Lobbying for whales in the heart of the beast Sue Arnold

Fondly known as the heart of the beast, Washington DC is a truly extraordinary city. Exquisitely laid out with its huge avenues, alphabetical streets, beautiful parks and majestic monuments, at certain times of the year, DC is a magical place. I’ve come to DC many times over the years to lobby the Congress and Senate and always marvel at the monu-

ments, sculptures, and the incredible architecture. The Congressional and Senate offices occupy huge buildings connected by long tunnels. One day spent lobbying Congressional offices can involve up to five miles of walking between buildings and around the huge office floors. My last visit, a few years ago, was to make known the level of international protest over the proposed Revised

Management Scheme (RMS) which the IWC was considering and the US was certainly not opposing. A scheme which would see commercial whaling recommence. Incredibly, major US whale conservation groups were supporting the adoption of the RMS, so bringing the extent of international protest to the US politicians was critical. This journey was again about whales. Gray whales and all the great whales covered by the IWC. One focus of the trip was to sit in on a Congressional Committee hearing on US whale conservation policy leading up to the June IWC meeting in Portugal. Three witnesses gave evidence before the Committee and were subsequently questioned at length by the Chair. Dr William Hogarth, the current IWC Chair and leader of the US delegation is not popular among activists. He’s led the efforts to trade off a decrease in Japanese ‘scientific whaling’ in the Antarctic by allowing coastal whaling in Japan. Known as the Hogarth deal, the zest with which Hogarth attempted to stitch up a win/win outcome for Japan was shocking.

Two weeks after Barack Obama was elected, Hogarth held a secret meeting in Honolulu trying desperately to get agreement from anti-whaling countries for the deal. It’s unclear on whose instructions he was acting and highly unlikely that the meeting was on orders of the new President. At the hearing, Hogarth confessed that Japan’s intention was to cut back its Antarctic whaling by 29 whales. And further, that there was no way anti whaling governments would support a change in the IWC schedule which would be required. Hogarth also had to agree that other nations would follow the precedent set by Japan in coastal whaling. Unfortunately, whaling is not high on the White House agenda with Iraq, Afghanistan, torture, economic collapses, global warming and other mind-numbing issues overwhelming everything. At the hearing, it was sobering to see how few US conservation groups were present and how small the audience was. At a reception at the new Capitol Hill Visitors Centre that week, IFAW invited celebs, politi-

cians, their staffers and high profile media to raise awareness on whaling. But the bottom line is that without definitive legal action, either at the domestic or international level by the Obama administration, all the publicity and raising awareness is not going to change this unfolding Greek tragedy. Japan is getting away with murder. Its government is making a mockery of international conventions and global revulsion. Many activist groups are hopeful that the growing distribution of the documentary movie The Cove, which shows the horror of the Japanese dolphin slaughters, will shame Japan into putting an end to killing cetaceans. The movie will be shown in Australia soon. A large part of the DC lobbying effort was on behalf of the California Gray Whale. In February 2008, my group set up the California Gray Whale Coalition, a three nation conservation and economic coalition dedicated to getting the whales relisted under the Endangered Species Act. Now a huge Coalition, it represents conservation and environmental organisa-

tions in Mexico, the US and Canada. As well, Hollywood movie stars Pierce Brosnan and Ed Begley support the Coalition. I was able to meet briefly with Pierce Brosnan on my visit and Ed Begley has been vocal in his support. Incredibly, the campaign had succeeded beyond our wildest expectations, with a Joint Resolution of support pushed through the California Assembly and Senate, and now a budget item for the National Academy of Sciences to do a five year study in the US Congress. The budget item has a long way to go but the fact that it is now before the US Congress and Senate is the best chance the California Gray Whale has of long term secure legal protection. Meantime, Australians should waste no time in continuing to protest to PM Rudd and Minister Peter Garrett that Australia’s efforts to stop Japan are pathetic and unacceptable. Time is running out for the whales. ■ Sue Arnold is the coordinator for Australians for Animals International.

Nationally-acclaimed playwright Paul Davies, pictured, in collaboration with director Richard Vinycomb, will present On Shifting Sandshoes, his play about a group of friends whose camping experience falls apart when a cyclone hits. First produced by Theatreworks in Melbourne 21 years ago, the play was commissioned for the Bicentennial and went on to win an AWGIE (Writers Guild Award) as the best new Australian play in 1988. Longtime resident of the Byron Shire, Paul worked as a scriptwriter in Melbourne for many years â&#x20AC;&#x201C; largely for Crawford Productions (â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;cop shows and soap operasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, he describes). His love of theatre began at university in student revues where he worked alongside people like Geoffrey Rush and Billy Brown; the traineeship at Crawford Productions followed, writing extensively for The Sullivans, Stingers and Blue Heelers, among others, including the final episode of Homicide. And yet it was in theatre where he felt most comfortable â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it was, he says, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;a bit more expressive, less

factory-likeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; (than television) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and so he worked with the Theatreworks company for a decade, revelling in the sense of community and the working with characters it afforded. Richard Vinycomb (also the director of ACE) was part of the Melbourne theatre scene as well and so it was natural their paths would cross. On Shifting Sandshoes played to packed houses on its first outing in 1988. Its themes are timeless and as relevant today as they were then. According to Paul, it â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;holds a mirror up to suburbs and country townsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, magnifying the foibles, preten-

sions and frailties of middleclass Australian life and values. The cyclonic storm acts as the catalyst for relationships breaking down; there is also the irony whereby people seek out wild and natural experiences only to repudiate them when they occur. Fundamentally it is, however, a comedy, albeit a dark one â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and the interactive nature of the performances will guarantee an enormously entertaining night out. Paul speaks highly of the local talent, impressed by the professional backgrounds of all those who are involved in the production. Audience

members will be invited to enter into a (warmed!) camping theatre restaurant experience where they will be served hearty camping fare (three courses plus chai). There will be table seating and full bar service, and the whole package costs $55 a head. Opening night is Wednesday July 15 and it will run over eight sessions up until July 25. â&#x2013; Tickets go on sale from June 10 and are available from Available at Barebones Bangalow, All Music and Vision: Ballina, Lismore and Byron Mullumbimby Bookshop.

ARIES: This week working with others will succeed better than trying to handle everything yourself so share decision making fairly and think we rather than me. Keep plans practical, make healthy choices and avoid repeating past mistakes by accepting limitations gracefully instead of resenting them. TAURUS: Mars and Venus in Taurus have you extracting the max out of this week’s earthly smorgasbord, while Mercury also in your sign offers heaps of new ways for beefing up funds and getting more bang for your buck. But if you want assistance, stay sweet and flexible. GEMINI: No surprise that juicy Geminis are this week’s favourite scintillating, power flirting party guests… and of course you‘ll want to be in on whatever exciting new thing’s happening, but don’t even consider business deals offered by anyone with a less than exemplary portfolio. CANCER: With so much entertainment to choose

John Hanks, who died in Melbourne last week aged 82, was one of greatest Australian players of the post-WWII decades. He also had a firm sense of right and wrong which led to some unpopularity among chess administrators. After successes in Victoria, Hanks was selected to represent Australia in the drawn 1948 telegraphic match against Great Britain, but it was a year later that Hanks established himself among Australia’s elite by finishing second in the Australian Championship behind the great Cecil Purdy. This was a performance Hanks would approach but never better, although it sometimes seemed as

LIBRA: Money matters might take up more time than you’d like this week but hey, may as well get them sorted while a supportive connection between Pluto and your planetary ruler Venus switches on your business antennae and fine tunes your financial instincts. Then go play… SCORPIO: This week talk‘s cheap and there’s plenty of it, but those who know how to listen can pick up some smart tips for increasing income. Mars and Venus in Taurus, your astrological opposite, is a passionate placement for Scorpions, and potently profitable for both business and intimate partnerships. SAGITTARIUS: Plenty of interesting ideas, stimulating conversation and entertaining plans – but the undertow of unfinished business nags away in the background. Best attend to it this week while the astral force is supporting you with the stamina and staying power for closure and completion.

CAPRICORN: Midweek Capricorn moon’s a strongly bonding time for family gatherings, and your reassurance could help someone tremendously. Keeping in mind that this week others respond more readily to light suggestion than heavy pressure, and are also quite amenable to a touch of well chosen bribery. AQUARIUS: This week provides the opportunity to play practical visionary, one of your finest roles, by putting your pioneering ideas into action. Leave late week options open and available so Aquarius moon’s inspirations can be as free-wheeling and far reaching as they need to. PISCES: If this week’s choices, options, financial propositions and economic possibilities get too much, slow down. Prioritize. Keep things in perspective. What changes could you make to bring you more in synch with these changing times? Let ideas settle and decisions will begin to make themselves.

A L L There is something magical about the harp. In all the movies about heaven, a white winged angel sits on a cloud and tinkers with an enormous godly harp. It is the instrument that creates celestial music for that next dimension. Musician Robbie Neil isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t winged, nor is he remotely angelic but he did just record his new album The Thirty Nine Strings with a bloke called Christian. (Pyle) This beautiful album shows the scope of an instrument that Neil admits to being self taught on. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC; I have only ever wanted to play my own music,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; he admits. It is Neilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disregard for the conventions of the harp that make The Thirty Nine Strings such an interesting listen â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Neil takes his instrument, and the listener on a journey as his musical collaborations traverse the globe. It begins with a taste of West Africa with Mali Rhythm, takes an eastern turn with the Persian Santoor, a tip of the hat to Celtic traditions, and then smack bang into the percussive grooves of more contemporary compositions. Neil, once a member of Fatter than Nusrat, is embarking on this musical project alone. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;In recording I had all my arrangements sorted. I was operating on a budget, so I had to minimise the studio time. I brought the musicians in one at a time so I could create the project quickly. This is all my music, my arrangements and compositions. This album reflects my artistic choices. I like having my hands on the steering wheel. When itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s you solo you have to make all the choices and all the decisions. You have the freedom and the ability to trust yourself. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big step but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very rewarding one.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

It’s hard to explain the sensuality of stationery but I’ve witnessed blokes getting the same sensation from a trip to Bunnings, soaking up that feeling of promise that only lengths of wood, spirit levels and screws can bring. I am always looking for the perfect pencil case, the most efficient folder – it fills me with the sense that if I purchase the right stationery, all my bits of paper, scraps of writing, receipts, half chewed and unpaid bills that clutter my desk and perpetuate this continual anxiety about my lack of completion, will be restored to

Sadly there is no hair colour that changes lives, just as there is no storage box salvation for untidy minds. In meditation I sometimes imagine my mind as my office. It is chaos. I then visualise all the compartments sorting themselves. It’s like the scene in Mary Poppins, I’m singing ‘supercalifragilisticexpialidocious’ and children are flying into filing cabinets, ex lovers are ordered alphabetically and

stored neatly under the bed next to the velvet box that holds my backlog of guilt and regret. My mind is clear of all clutter. There is now space for the manifestation of that next brilliant idea. I decide to go for a swim instead. Logically, I know there is no office chair, no desk lamp or CD stacker that will bring me internal or external peace. But I can’t bury hope. While the new printer still sits unassembled in its box, there is still the possibility that order may one day be restored to the restless anarchy of this human mind. It is a belief that envelopes me!

style bluesman – the likes of Son House and Charlie Patton. With a beat up slide guitar and a hollering singing style, Matt can’t hide the fact that his love of the old blues has combined with a love of harder stuff like the Ramones or the Dead Kennedy’s, and modern legends like Jeff Lang, Lloyd Spiegel and Geoff Achison; resulting in a 100 mile an hour crash or crash through performance style. Living on a bush property near Bega, Matt’s verandah has played home to much of his raucous

stomping about, with his style developing through absolutely no need to turn it down. The Rails on Wednesday.

Kingfisha Kingfisha are a five piece reggae band from Brisbane and have a wealth of live experience. With a deep and abiding respect for reggae and its origins, they have taken the Jamaican rhythms and infused them with honest songwriting and strong melodies to create their own sound. The second half of 2008 has seen Kingfisha do a spectacular variety of successful shows including supporting Katchafire (N.Z), Reggae Town Festival (Cairns), Cairns on Collins Street Festival, Island Vibes Festival (Stradbroke Island), an East Coast tour and the iconic ‘Dub Day Afternoon’ in Brisbane. In January 2009 they completed a successful tour to Melbourne and are currently recording their debut album. Friday at the Buddha Bar.

The Hands These days the modern pop quartet is one dominated by guitars. There’s the occasional keyboard but a band that features only bass guitar and drums, an old style Hammond organ and a Hohner D6 Clavinet is definitely the exception. When ‘duelling’ keyboards are played by brothers Clayton and Lachlan Doley then it goes without saying that this band is unique. It’s The Hands, and their alloriginal repertoire is designed to reinvent the genre of ‘Soul Music’ in the modern context. The Hands formed out of a mutual love of classic soul, from Bobby Womack and Curtis

practice is present every day of my life. I am part of it. I see the rhythms in people and creative processes. I know when I am flowing or in my staccato; when I let go and surrender to what is (chaos), when I choose to lighten up and am connected to my joy (Lyrical) and when I feel peaceful, clear, centred and at home (stillness).’ Deva Nandan works intuitively in a gentle manner which allows her students to focus on what is at the core of their being. As one of her student puts it, ‘Deva has brought many groups of our community together to create a beautiful loving tribe and network of people.’

tour took me to 21 USA states and 8 European countries in 11 months and I was hosted by 74 different families. This was an amazing year and a great opening. I moved to London in 1995, where very soon I was taken to a 5 Rhythms class. I felt completely at home, recognized the group as my tribe and soul family. Soon, I was out driving to unknown places with strangers participating in 5 Rhythms workshops. I was dancing weekly with John Kelly, twice with Sue Rickards. I became Sue’s angel (helper) and I was in all her classes for 5 years. I was a struggling self employed jewellery designer working from my kitchen in North London, during the day and a wild dedicated 5 rhythms student at night. I would go from spending creative hours/ days by myself, to being a social queen amongst the crowds of dancers. I was having a perfect balance between solitude and communion, stillness and movement.’ Deva Nanden also trained with Nina Robertson, Peter Wilberforce, Alain Allard, Susannah and Ya’Acov Darling Khan (school of Movement Medicine, UK). ‘With them, I learned to dance my fear, anger, sadness, joy, compassion and much more.’ Deva became part of the fifth cycle of teachers trained by Gabrielle Roth in 2004-2005. ‘I was one of the 15 accredited 5 Rhythms teachers in London and could dance every day of the week if I wanted to. However, I knew that London wasn’t any longer for me. Following my intuition, I chose to move to Australia in April 2006. I have been teaching a regular weekly class since June 2006. The 5 Rhythms

and discothèques. I would climb down my veranda on a rope, at night; this way I could stay partying until morning without my parents losing their sleep. I never got into drinking or drugs. I have been always quite health conscious and extremely sporty.’ Deva has a passion for relationships and all the small details that happen within the dynamics of relating. ‘I went off travelling the world with 120 others, doing community services and a 2hr performance show (UP With People, a non profit, cultural, experiential, educational organization).

Boileau was commissioned by the Tweed River Regional Museum to research and write the book, launched at a Chinese historical exhibition in Murwillumbahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Coolamon Cultural Centre. The Chinese legacy in our region is rich and diverse. Boileau presents us with such gems as an earthenware wine jar retrieved from a Bay Park market garden and Tongs elegant float in Murwillumbahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1943 China Day Parade. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a scholarly and lively book. (available at Coolamon Cultural Centre, Tumbulgum Rd, Murwillumbah)

The jewellery and metal collective Hammer and Hand, opens an exhibition on Friday June 12 (6pm to 9pm) at 1/4 Ti Tree Place, Byron Arts and Industry Estate.

When Hobie Porter was about 14 his mother took him to a Toulouse-Lautrec exhibition in Brisbane. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I liked the work, its graphic qualities. Suddenly I saw the potential of a career in visual arts.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Art became the focus of Porterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life and study. From Murwillumbah High School he went to Southern Cross University and a BA in visual arts, an honours degree in contemporary art, and a graduate diploma in education. He also spent a semester at the Pratt Institute in New York. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;It was a magical place for me. I had a university pass to see any museums I liked. I was able to get an insight into the cultural dynamic of New York. And there were some really interesting characters at the Pratt Institute; people who knew artists like Marcel Duchamp, Mark Rothko, Clyfford Still. As a representative of the Pratt Institute, Porter exhibited at the National Arts Club in Gramercy Park. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;That was where those Abstract Expressionists exhibited. So that for me was a major accomplishment â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to have work in the same space.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Presently Porter can be seen in two local galleries: a group exhibition, Small Portraits, at the Gold Coast City Art Gallery and his compelling solo exhibition, Dry Rain, at the Tweed River Art Gallery. His observation of the reduction of the water table in our caldera, inspired him to make works

about environmental change.â&#x20AC;&#x2DC; Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not surprising that Porter names RenĂŠ Magritte as an influence. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Because of his surrealism, his way of putting odd objects in his painting â&#x20AC;&#x201C; like a train shooting out of a chimney. Or dry leaves falling from clouds.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Elegy At one point in this lugubrious, elderly bloke/young chick romance, Consuela (Penelope Cruz), with a thick Cuban accent, tells David (Ben Kingsley) that a former boyfriend got off on watching her menstruate. You could sense the distaste in an audience largely comprised of old biddies. One of them piped up and asked her friend, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d she say?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Menstruate.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Ay?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Menstruate!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; It was a priceless diversion and, as it turned out, more memorable than what is a curiously passionless film. Based on The Dying Animal by Philip Roth, with which I am unfamiliar, it has been written for the screen by Nicholas Meyer, who made a complete hash of Rothâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Human Stain,

and directed by Isabel Coixet, whose impeccable taste and meticulousness tend to drag the chain. David is a celebrity academic affronted by the shadow of his own mortality. Divorced and enjoying regular visits from long time squeeze Carolyn (Patricia Clarkson), he has somehow managed to crack on to a series of doting college students. Consuela is the latest, but her effect on him cuts deeper than he anticipates. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s difficult to like and consequently empathise with David and, as narrator, he is afforded the unethical indulgence of lying to the viewer. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;She never rang again,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; he self-pityingly informs us after an incident in which he has shown infuriating moral cowardice â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but not too long later she does. There is no lazier way to tell a story. Both Cruz and Kingsley are outstanding, the problem is that there is no combustion between them, and it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as ugly as sin and she drop dead gorgeous. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;You have the most beautiful breasts Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve

Terminator Salvation I hated this movie. Without any knowledge of the previous installments that, to a degree, inform it, I dutifully turned up with not a lot of confidence but some hope, having been happily surprised by the wit and intelligence of Die Hard 4 when first I entered the high-octane world of Bruce Willisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Detective John McClane. No such redeeming qualities emerged in what is, without question, the loudest two hours that I have ever endured. Heavy metal fighting from go to whoa means that there is barely a minuteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s respite from the din of gunfire and explosions â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hurtful and makes AC/ DC sound unplugged.

executed by lethal injection for an unspecified crime. Next we see him in 2018 and the world is a most horrible place, with humans being rounded up by machines. Talk about doom and gloom. Barely nine years off, is this is the best Hollywood can do when imagining the path civilization will follow? Marcus, now part man, part robot, emerges naked from the sludge with a muddy codpiece concealing his nether regions. Funny, isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t it, that while spending squillions on violence and mayhem, producers of tripe like this get all coy about having a blokeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s penis on screen. Because of his split identity, Marcus is able to infiltrate the robotsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; headquarters, where he has a set-to with a giant, naked clone of Arnie the Governator, who also has no dick. Christian Bale, beginning to resemble Jack Palance with a hoarse whisper, is John Connor, leader of the Resistance, and Helena Bonham Carter (why, Helena, why?) is a sinister scientist dying of cancer but fretting over the future of our species â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which is an unnecessary concern in my book. There is also an actor in it called Moon Goodblood and others called Common and Jadagrace, but the director wins the cigar with his moniker of MCG â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I had always taken that to be the abbreviation of the Melbourne Cricket Ground, but apparently it is now short for â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;wankerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. And, despite the astounding technological feats of the CGI guys â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the hole in Worthingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head which reveals the wiring inside is very convincing â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it all looks like it has been filmed on a desolate backblock somewhere outside of Los Angeles by a bunch of nerdy juveniles

with too much money at their disposal. Nihilistic, ugly, boring beyond any conceivable mind numbing criteria and not worth the time of day. ~ John Campbell

ever seen,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; he tells Consuela â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and by crikey, they do pass muster â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but as lovers they are miscast. As is Clarkson, who tries valiantly but is unable to find sexiness in her repertoire, and Peter Sarsgaard as son Kenny, an entirely superfluous character whose presence only confuses the issue. The scene that rings truest comes when possessive David tracks Consuela to a Latino nightclub and humiliates himself by attempting to kiss her only for her to coolly turn her face away. Dennis Hopper enlivens things as Davidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s confidante â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;why donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you take her to the prom,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; he guffaws when hearing of Consuelaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s age â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and, making a much more believable couple, Deborah Harry shows sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still got â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; as his wife. The contrived denouement is determinedly sad, but by then I was pretty much over it. ~ John Campbell

the Auschwitz concentration camp. Brunoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s privileged life is in stark contrast to the intolerable existence experienced by Europeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jewish populace and especially those held here at Auschwitz. Bruno meets a young boy of his own age called Shmuel who lives on the other side of a large wire fence. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a shaven-headed prisoner but somehow a conversation develops between the children, they strike up a friendship â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one that leads to a shockingly fateful decision. This film is particularly strong in the way it portrays the adults. David Thewlis and Vera Farmiga, as Brunoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parents, give us a believable portrayal of a highstatus Nazi couple - they love their two children, Bruno (Asa Butterfield) and Gretel (Amber Beattie), and they believe right is on their side. That makes them capable of justifying anything. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really a film about them, in some ways; and at that level, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very powerful. ~ Lounge Cinema

The room is nearly full when we arrive. Past the bar, the smartly dressed space invites us in with its warm lighting, potted palms, bamboo screens and murmured conversations over candle-lit tables. At the one to which we are led by our smiling waitress thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a crisp white cloth and folded napkins and a gleam of polIshed stones around a glowing prism of light. As we inspect the wine list, small plates of warm bread, dukkah and balsamic-flecked olive oil materialise. If we were celebrating I would order the 200 ml bottle of French champagne ($18.50) but settle happily for Evans & Tate as we await our entrees. This ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t no ordinary restaurant: this is the Nightcap restaurant, Block E, of Wollongbar TAFE, which for the past seven years has opened up to the public on Wednesday and Thursday nights, sending forth dishes created by final year students doing the Hospitality course. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the end of May, and since February they have been preparing for their one night as Master Chef constituting part of the final assessment for their trade qualification, running the kitchen as if it were their own. Each apprentice has his (or her â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it remains a largely male domain) shot at this one night, for which he is

responsible for devising the entire menu and ultimately cooking it with a team whose rosters he has also planned. Each head chef will give the restaurant his or her own special name for the evening, sometimes going so far as to decorate the venue or endow it with a specific theme. Naturally there are teachers in the kitchen throughout the evening, not so much to supervise as to support; there is a de-briefing session at the end of the night. The students come from all overt the region for this event, Wollongbar TAFE being centrally located and communityfocused; in addition it attracts world-class trainers and assessors. Our head chef, Rebecca, has come from darkest Casino; she has named the restaurant â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Knollâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Beautifully presented dishes appear: my entree of mushrooms stuffed with fetta has a drape of excellent pesto while my partnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scallops â&#x20AC;&#x201C; four served on the shell â&#x20AC;&#x201C; are fiery with chilli and ginger. Next thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s squeaky fresh snapper on a neat round of ratatouille for me; he has pork with fennel, apple and rather a lot of sultanas. We finish up with creamy vanilla pannacotta with raspberry compote and warm chocolate pudding (a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Choc Hot Potâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;) with vanilla ice cream â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and decline coffee because we

have run out of room. Besides, I am being drawn through the bar and into the lofty gleaming kitchen bustling with students hosing down stainless steel work stations and putting away food: pretty much the standard scene in any professional restaurant kitchen at eveningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s end. A long corridor leads off to several cool rooms; thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a computer room and a big screen and a cheerful teacher-incharge called Mary Allan, whose pride is almost palpable as she speaks about the students. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;They make everything from scratchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, she tells me. We have had such a time â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and, apart from a little extra for the wine, dispensed with a mere $35 each for our three courses. I very nearly hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bothered to book; when I eventually did, I was told almost crisply that, yes, there was one table for two left for that particular evening â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but often the place is booked out. Nightcap restaurant will close for semester break on June 29, reopening on August 17. As an inexpensive, surprising night out which, furthermore, supports the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s upcoming chefs, I could not recommend it more highly. For bookings ring 6620 4888.

ORGANIC C A certified organic Vitamin C has just been launched on to the Australian market. Unlike other Vitamin C products, Lifestream Natural Vitamin C, distributed by Planet Health, is made from certified organic, ethically grown and environmentally sustainable Acerola berries and certified organic tapioca. Most vitamin C tablets contain synthetic ascorbic acid which is less easily absorbed by the human body than natural ascorbic acid from food sources such as Acerola. The small, bright red Acerola berry is one of the most potent sources of natural Vitamin C and bioflavanoids known to scientists. The berries used in Lifestream Natural Vitamin C are grown in organic orchards in Brazil. It is available at selected pharmacies and health food stores and retails for around $30 for 60 vegetarian capsules.

Tyler Wright does the double at the All Girls Surf Showdown Great waves, excellent surfing and a masterful performance from protagonist Tyler Wright on her home stage, highlighted the final day of them All Girls Surf Showdown. Held at Lennox Head, the prestigious event, in its 17th year, saw some of the finest female surfing talent in the country descending upon the Far North Coast jewel. The action that transpired didn’t disappoint as competitors in Open Pro, Junior Pro, Longboard Pro, Over 28, Over 40, Under 16 and under 14 divisions blew the collective minds of spectators and surfing purists. Led by the dynamic and radical Wright, who won both the Open and Junior Pro divisions, the standard was through the roof as current, former and future professional starlets lined up for excellent prize money. ‘I’m so happy to take out both divisions in such a prestigious event,’ the 15-year-old said graciously after annihilating the competition and taking home $1500 for her troubles. ‘It’s my first time competing

here so I’m stoked.’ For Wright, who has the most incredible competitive record of any current junior surfer, today’s success was a surprise, considering the high standard and talent on hand. ‘Just to compete alongside

the likes of Dimity (Stoyle), L aura (Ene ver), Kirby (Wright), Phillipa (Anderson) in the Open Pro and Sarah (Mason) and Nikki van Dijk in the Junior event is awesome, but to have taken out each division is amazing.’

As the current International Surfing Association (ISA) Junior World Champion, Australian Junior Champion and reigning champion of the Association of Surfing Professionals (ASP) World Tour event – The Beachley Classic

– Wright sees the importance of events like the All Girls Showdown. ‘The quality and level of surfing shown here this weekend is extreme,’ Wright added. Having seen the likes of dual ASP World Champion Stephanie Gilmore from Kingscliff, former ASP World Champion Pauline Menczer from Byron Bay, 2008 ASP World Qualifying Series Champion Sally Fitzgibbons from Gerroa in NSW and current Australian Open Women’s champion Jenny Boggis from Lennox Head take the prestigious crown, Wright now finds herself at the vanguard of women’s surfing. ‘This proves to all that the standard of female surfing in Australia, and internationally, is rising – I’m just happy to be at the forefront; it’s really exciting.’ As it was the 17th annual All Girl Surf Showdown, event director’s Kelly O’Brien and Max Perot could not have been happier, or more impressed, with what took place over the weekend, seeing a marked rise in the standard of

competition. ‘The event featured surfers from all states around the country and this year we definitely saw the youngest and best crop of girls competing for some time,’ said Kelly O’Brien after the event. ‘The fact that we held an over 40’s division is a testament to the strength and depth of Australian female surfing.’ The All Girls Surfriders Club was formed in 1992 after a hugely successful ‘Have a Go Day’ that attracted 80 interested female surfers. The Club founders Keryn Noach, Max Perrot and Kellie O’Brien ran the club as a regional organization from Evans Head to New Brighton with monthly rounds at different locations. The original divisions were aimed at beginner, intermediate and advanced skill levels and have grown to include a longboard section and senior beginners. This year’s event has proven a popular drawcard for participants and spectators, attracting strong surfers in a showcase for the champions of the future.

No buts – get off yer butts According the a recent media release, the National Health Survey of 2007-08 found that obesity, alcohol consumption and smoking are key health issues in Ausralia. More adult Australians were overweight or obese in 2007-08 compared with 1995. In children, there was a significant increase in the proportion who are obese from 5.2% in 1995 to 7.8% in 2007/8. The sur vey found that approximately 68% of men and 51% of women consumed alcohol in the week prior to the 2007-08 National Health Survey. Most of these adults (79%) consumed alcohol at a level that poses a low health risk. Smoking was the other big www.echo.net.au

issue as one in five adults were current smokers in 2007/8. More men than women were current smokers and the proportion of smokers was highest in the 25-34 age group. Children aged 15-17 were asked the smoking questions for the first time in the 2007/8 NHS. The survey found that 7% of children in this age group currently smoked – what ??? This is a big worry people. All you have to do is watch prime time TV to see what ciggies can do to your health. The time is now. Put down that extra glass of red, and the third piece of chocky. Get off the butts and get off yer butts and get outside and get into some great winter sport. You know you want to.

Keeping a watchful eye on the wicket umpire Speaking of cricket – according to a recent study by optomertrist David Southgate, it may be time for the video umpire to make a debut in the world of professional cricket. Today’s technology allows for cameras to be inserted into the smallest of places and wicket-cam has long been available for our cricket viewing pleasure (though it makes me eyes water and my reflexes cringe). In the era of electronic viewing of anything that moves it may now be a good idea to put this technological party trick to good use in the quest for the perfect cricket match as an aid to umpires, who due to the inadequate evolutionary design of humans, have only two eyes. Leg before wicket (LBW) dismissals would be significantly more accurate if umpires did not have to watch to see if bowlers overstepped the

mark to detect ‘no balls’, a recent study has found. The study, which measured the decision-making accuracy of four of Victoria’s best cricket umpires under simulated match conditions, watching the bowler’s front foot, watching the bowler’s back foot or not watching either of the bowler’s feet, found the umpires’ performance improved significantly when they were not required to watch the bowler’s feet. There was no significant difference between watching the front foot or their back foot. Study author and optometrist, David Southgate, says the role of the cricket umpire is complex and requires precise visual skills, which are rarely acknowledged. ‘It’s not surprising that LBW decisions are often disputed. It may be that there simply isn’t

enough time for the eye movements needed to look from the bowler’s foot to the wickets. ‘If another system was used to make the “no ball” decisions, the ground umpire could keep their eye on the batsman, and the study suggests we would see greater accuracy in LBW decisions. ‘Umpires have to watch the bowler’s front foot for a ‘no ball’ and then move their eyes down the pitch to look for a possible LBW dismissal. ‘Not only do umpires have to judge the flight of the ball within a fraction of a second, they have to determine if the likely path of the ball through the batsman’s legs would have hit the wickets,’ Mr Southgate said. ‘The requirement for umpires to shift their eyes at a rapid speed and make a split second decision is a demanding visual skill.’

Friday Night Football in Byron AFL in the Northern Rivers region is experiencing great success with the introduction of its new Friday night Super 8s competition. Players and parents are showing their support for the new concept that kicked off earlier this month by supporting it in big numbers. In 2008, AFL Northern Rivers Juniors hosted seven Under 8 teams in its traditional Sunday morning format. This year however, with the program being regionalised to the same venue and time slot, there are now fourteen Under 8 teams playing. Speaking about the increase

in junior teams playing, AFL Queensland Game Development Manager Corey Bell said it’s been a great result. ‘We trialled the Super 8s concept in a pilot format last year and had great interest,’ he said. ‘This showed us the community wanted the Super 8s format on a Friday night because it is played at the same time and same location every week.’ A large number of the players who play in the new Friday competition have come through the NAB AFL Auskick program, which gives kids the chance to learn the skills of the game in a fun and safe environ-

ment, and with the activities developed specifically for their age and abilities. As well as the under 8s match program on Friday nights, the venue also hosts a Club Auskick program for 5 and 6 year olds. The venue for the Super 8 competition is at the Byron Bay Rec Fields, between 5 and 6.30pm. To find out more about the Super 8s visit the AFLNRJ website www.footyrulez.com or contact Brian Walshe on 0439 003 721 and to find out where your local AFL Auskick program is being held visit www.aflauskick.com.au.

The sign on for the under 12s two kilometre and the under 16s 5 kilometre runs, is at Brunswick Surf Club from 7-7.50am on the event day. If you would like to find out more about the run, visit www.mullumtobruns.org.au/ upcomingevents.htm or you can enter by contacting Kris on 0409 851 624 or Jim on 6680 2071.

Backlash Further to last week’s Backlash about pest myths, Sandy Loyall writes: ‘I can report one occurrence of someone swallowing a spider – my Uncle Pat when I was about ten. Countless cousins and I were witness to him spreading butter onto two pieces of white Tip Top bread, placing a recently deceased daddy-long-legs in between and eating it. The screeching could be heard from a considerable distance.’ ■ ■ ■ ■

Our editor obviously can’t tell his sixes from his nines. The headlines on pages 3 and 11 last week should have read ‘s68’ in relation to Woolies’ application rather than ‘s98’. we suspect he must be getting confused with s96 modifications or even s94 contributions. So many sections, so little time… Speaking of Woolies, the objectors to the Mullum proposal got a good splash on ABC’s Stateline in its DIY Dissent segment.

In an act of monumental cowardice, ABC management has taken The Chaser’s War On Everything off the air for two weeks following the controversy surrounding the program’s ‘MakeA-Realistic-Wish Foundation’ sketch. Either ABC managers can make an editorial decision as to what’s in bad taste or not regardless of public outrage – that’s what they’re paid to do.

Ever since the days of Sigmund Freud at least, men have been asking, ‘What do women really want?’ The jury is still locked down. Meanwhile, AskMen. com has tried to sort out what men are after, apart from a cold beer and a warm pizza. The survey of almost 700 men reveals that their top travel destinations were New York (47%), London (33%), and Paris (24%). More importantly, Oz men’s top three fashion tips were: never wear white socks with a suit (63%), find jeans that fit perfectly (46%) and have your suits tailored so they fit stylishly (30%). No mention of how thongs must match when attending BBQs.
