Local girls skill up with woodwork

A group of eight Year 10 girls from Mullumbimby High School attend Byron Youth Service’s Youthlinx program in Mullumbimby once a week. The current group are creating woodwork workshops with local Woodwork for Women teacher Patt Gregory. The girls have been referred by the school to participate in the weekly young women’s group which provides information and support, builds skills both in the communication and practical arenas, and assists them in remaining at school. Youthlinx coordinator Deborah Pearse told The Echo, ‘The wood-

working program has uncovered some previously unknown skills in the girls in terms of teamwork, creativity, aptitude, and for some of them, skills in instructing others and helping them with skills based tasks. There were some real hidden talents among them. ‘It is also an opportunity to destress from the pressures of school in the beautiful outdoor setting of Patt Gregory’s studio. They have lunch, chat and can use the trampoline to let off steam.’ Patt Gregory adds, ‘I love the way the girls use woodwork as a tool to express themselves. They focus intently on the task at hand for short bursts but then use break time and other aspects of

the workshop to amuse themselves in between. There is no formality to the workshop, I just flow with what they are doing. I thoroughly enjoy working with them each time. I love their freshness and spontaneity and all their different personalities and how that comes through in their work.’ The girls were able to choose their own woodwork projects, and the results really illustrate the girls’ diverse personalities. Among the projects were an advanced cabinet, a chopping board, a mouse obstacle course, a picture frame, a table and a bird nesting box. One student woodworker, Jesse McNulty, told The Echo, ‘We have a lot of fun in the workshops. Patt and

Deb are great and we have learnt so much. I’ll definitely remember the stuff Patt has shown me.’ Earlier this year Byron Youth Service received a grant from the Department of Health and Ageing to run Healthy and Active programs for young people in the Byron Shire. Youthlinx is funded by Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR) and the woodworking project is also funded in part through the Healthy and Active program. So far BYS has run Capoeira, Hip Hop, Yoga, Fire Twirling and Poi programs. Timber for this and last year’s BYS woodworking workshops was donated both by Patt Gregory and Pam from the Old Mill, Mullumbimby.

New Main Arm DA raises more concerns A new development application from Regenesis Village Pty Ltd for its residential subdivision and commercial centre at Main Arm has drawn flak from the Main Arm Residents Association (MARA). Objectors to the earlier DA will now have to resubmit their objections to Council. ‘Together with the 21 lot south side DA now being assessed by Council, the 46 houses and shopping complex, if approved, would forever alter the rural character of the small hamlet,’ said MARA president Peter Leishman. According to Mr Leishman, the DA seeks to increase the size of the area already zoned village to accommodate two more lots. The sales price of the now 25-lot development is estimated to exceed $10,000,000. Yet, total developer Section 94 contributions are only $282,000. ‘The new DA confirms that 17 of the 25 proposed house lots are on steep slopes estimated to be 20%35%, directly contrary to the guidelines of the Byron Rural Settlement Strategy that specifically exclude land in excess of a 20% slope from future settlement. Due to the steepness of the slopes and the proximity to waterways or domestic bores, none of the proposed onsite wastewater systems can meet Council and State health guidelines meant to prevent contamination of the waterways. ‘All of the “green” eco-friendly proposals that so impressed Councillors at the rezoning stage are gone. Even the tennis court, park and gazebo promised in the last DA is gone, and now the only things left for the community are two open space lots, one in a flood zone and one in a stormwater drain area.’ MARA urged residents to send a submission to Council by July 1 objecting to Regenesis DA No. 10.2009.220.1, parcel No. 214550 & 240324. Copies of the DA are at Council, Main Arm Store, and on the Council website.

Three weeks after the big storm and just days before king tides, Byron Shire Council finally got its earthmovers onto Belongil beach to start protection works. Some of the earthmovers gained access courtesy of John Vaughan, the landowner Council faced in the Land and Environment Court. The court case has seen an agreement reached but Mr Vaughan is not happy with Council’s public version of events. He has called on the general manager to retract the Council media release – it does not name Mr Vaughan but it is obvious who it is referring to. Mayor Jan Barham said in the release that ‘early as June 4, Council advised the landowner that it was agreeable to interim geobag stabilisation of the escarpment’. Mr Vaughan told The Echo he made the offer first, and Council could have saved thousands of ratepayers’ dollars if it acted then. A letter of May 27 from Mr Vaughan’s lawyers to Council’s lawyers states in part that Mr Vaughan would undertake interim works ‘to hold the status quo’ and agree to remove works if he were not successful in establishing his entitlement to protection. At an earlier hearing on May 29 Justice Pain noted: ‘There are differing engineering views expressed in the evidence before me as to the wisdom or otherwise of causing any work to be done on [Mr Vaughan’s] land in conformity with the consent that existed previously‌

Top, an earthmover at work in front of John Vaughan’s Belongil property and above, a group of Belongil residents protested outiside Council chambers last Thursday, calling for the adoption of the coastline management interim works plan of March 2000. Photos Jeff Dawson.

All this evidence reinforces my view that work done in isolation on one property is likely to have adverse impacts on neighbouring properties in the immediate vicinity and more generally along the Belongil spit.’ How rock walls in town and geobag walls at Belongil affect individual properties – and the public coastline in general – is one of the bones of contention. Belongil residents have also argued that Council has not properly carried out or maintained the interim protection works agreed to in earlier consents. Council has also issued a media release – available in full at www.byron.nsw.gov.au – giving the background to its planned retreat policy. In it Council notes that in 1978, planned retreat was documented as a possible

management strategy by PWD in the Byron to Hastings Point Erosion Study and included in the state government’s Coastline Planning Manual in 1988. ‘Byron Shire Council adopted the Byron Local Environment Plan and Development Control Plan (DCP) in 1988. The DCP included Part J for development on Coastal Lands. The planning document identified erosion precincts and defined the limits for development in response to erosion threat within those areas.’ In related news Department of Lands general manager Graham Harding has asked the community to stop any unauthorised works to restore pedestrian access to Belongil Beach. He said the Department of Lands has commenced a project

to reinstate the pedestrian access point off Childe Street. ‘The community should be aware that it is illegal to carry out works on Crown land without authority,’ said Mr Harding in a press release. ‘The Department has upgraded barriers to restrict public access at the site and erected signage to warn beach users of the potential dangers at this location. ‘The community is asked to observe the signs at the entry point off Childe Street and advised not to use this beach access or enter the site beyond the locked gates. ‘I ask the community to be patient until the reinstatement of the beach access path is completed.’ ■Letters, page 11

Backpacker market keeps on trucking Victoria Cosford

‘ The slick new Nomads Odyssey facility was the venue for a forum for the backpacking industry. An initiative of the Backpacking Operators Association (BOA), it was the second time this year that the organisation had convened outside Sydney, as part of its efforts to support regional operators. It followed a committee meeting and attracted around 40 attendees, comprising hostel owners, tour operators and the travel sector. President of BOA, David Lamyman, introduced the forum with the ‘big question’ as to how in these troubled times to maintain visitor numbers. It appears, however, that while the high end of the tourism market may be suffering, the backpacking industry has remained steady: in reply to his query as to how many operators had noticed a downturn over April and May, only a few hands went up. With job prospects for the 18-30 age group nigh on impossible, ‘they might as well go travelling’, he said, ‘as opposed to sitting in a dole queue.’ He was followed by Julian Ledger,

CEO of Youth Hostels Australia (YHA) – ‘the original backpackers’, he declared. After Sydney, the Northern Rivers is the second destination for backpackers in NSW, he went on to say, before launching into a brief history of the industry. Backpackers have been coming to the region since 1980, drawn largely by its natural beauty, its alternative lifestyle, the surf culture and the fact that they can walk everywhere. The first backpacker hostel was in Kings Cross in Sydney and the second in Byron Bay, which rapidly established itself as part of the backpacking route. Today the industry generates around $3.3 billion per annum; as one member of the audience pointed out, backpackers create jobs due to their needs for accommodation, meals and entertainment. Julian cited assorted statistics: the average backpacker stay is 75 days; $78 per night is the average spend; $6,000 constitutes expenditure for the entire stay. Peggy O’Neill from the Arts Factory spoke next, offering up the regional perspective. She discussed the changes over the last 20 years and how about

five years ago the industry became a lot more competitive in response to greater expectations on the part of backpackers. Gen X, she explained, is a ‘more discerning’ generation, wanting more to be offered and seeking ‘a structured environment’; when she looks out at the car park she sees ‘super sexy spaceships’ as their mode of transport. She alluded to the term ‘flash-packing’ – of which the Nomads venue is an example – denoting a more upmarket backpacking experience than had previously been available. What impresses her most, however, is the level of support rather than competiveness in the Byron Shire amongst backpacker operators; the fact it is more ‘a community than an industry’. They meet four times a year with police to discuss safety issues for both backpackers and the town; there is a concerted effort toward nonheckling on the part of bus drivers. Her final summary was that as an industry ‘we should all roll together with the changes and offer a great experience for backpackers.’

Over 300 people amassed at the Byron Bay Surf Club for the funeral of Bundjalung Arakwal Elder Linda Vidler. The haunting reverberations of a didgeridoo played by her son Nigel Stewart drew the coffin, surrounded by family members, into the hall for the service. Conducted by Father Gary Priest, it was both moving and uplifting, as various relatives and friends paid tributes to this ‘strong black woman’. The words ‘pride’ and ‘legacy’ cropped up again and again

www.echo.net.au

– pride by her children in all her achievements; the legacy she left behind as fruit of these achievements. Her fight for Aboriginal rights and protection of land and water, the thousands of meetings with government officials she attended over the years and above all her tremendous sense of family and country and her gift at holding everything together: these were just some of the qualities mentioned. The fact that she ‘touched both black and white’ people was evidenced by the huge

numbers of non-indigenous people attending. There were slideshows with a Johnny Cash sound-track (Linda loved country music along with plastic flowers and pork-bones) and an acknowledgement on behalf of the NPWS of the privilege it had enjoyed with her gifts of both guidance and insight into the Bundjalung culture. The wake then took place at the Byron Bay Services Club, and following a private cremation the ashes of this hugely loved Elder were being brought back to the beach and cast out ‘to the dolphins’.

Byron Bay Tea Company (BBTC) is supporting the Cancer Council’s Biggest Morning Tea at the Bangalow market on Sunday June 28 from 8.30am. There will also be locally made cookies donated by the Byron Bay Cookie Company and Luken and May. A raffle will be drawn at 2pm to win a hamper full of some locally made goodies. Owner of Byron Bay Tea Company, Sarita Merlo, has a particular interest in health and wellbeing, practising as a naturopath and herbalist. ‘Tea has so many health benefits, ranging from antioxidant protection, general nutrition, immune stimulation and even cancer protection,’ according to Ms Merlo. ‘Everyone knows someone who has been affected by cancer, so it is a great cause.’ Ms Merlo will also be donating a live blood analysis screening as part of a full naturopath consultation into the hamper, valued at $100. Ms Merlo says that ‘by viewing the blood we can not only improve nutritional status, but use this information to reach a state of optimal health and wellbeing for cancer protection.’ See more about the fundraiser at www.biggestmorningtea. com.au.

Wilsons River plan now on display The draft catchment management plan for the Wilsons River is now on public display for review and comment. This plan was funded by Rous Water as a part of their development of the Wilsons River Source (this region’s new source of ‘raw’ drinking water). As Anthony Acret, Catchments Assets Manager of Rous Water, explains, ‘The purpose of the Wilsons River Catchment Management Plan is to achieve long term water quality and environmental health improvements.’ Although the plan was initiated by Rous Water, the process of its development involved independent scientific investigation and community con-

sultation, and has built upon the considerable amount of work previously done in the region. A Catchment Working Group was formed specifically for this project, and members include government agencies, Landcare, farmers, industry, environmental and other community groups. Ecos Environmental Consulting was engaged to undertake detailed studies which form the basis of the plan. Nick O’Connor, principal consultant from Ecos, said, ‘Over one thousand hours of scientific investigation have been undertaken, including a review of existing research; identifying risks to water quality in the

catchment; analysing water quality and other environmental data; and running computer modelling of potential contaminants in the catchment.’ The draft plan, and all background scientific studies, can also be accessed and downloaded from www.wilsonsriver. wikispaces.com along with an electronic submission form. Printed copies of the draft Wilsons River Catchment Management Plan will also be available for viewing at branches of the RichmondTweed Regional Library and at Byron Shire Council offices. Submission forms need to be returned to Rous Water by Friday July 17.

Local News

St Martin’s bell rings a chord with locals The bell which had rung out for over three quarters of a century from St. Martin’s War Memorial Church, Mullumbimby, fell silent when the tower in which it was housed became unstable due to deteriorative processes. Since the dedication of the church in 1925 the bell had called the local community to service and had announced both funerals and weddings. For several years the tower had been undergoing ‘bandaid’ processes, and a decision had to eventually be made to undertake considerable repair work. After much professional consultation it was estimated the cost of the reparation work on the tower was likely to amount to around $120,000, a huge ask for a parish, like so many others, having to count the cost of year to year maintenance bills. A committee was formed, strategies prepared, and with the support of the diocese, the parish set to work to fundraise and to access small grants. Slowly the public far and wide became aware of the plight of the only bell tower in Byron Shire and in ways small and large pitched in so that the bell could be heard to ring out once again. Donations began to

5 BEDROOM KIT HOME trickle in and the trickle soon became a constant stream. The generosity of the local community was a second to none. With funds mounting, but a long way still to go, work by a team headed by a local builder began, with the tower swathed in scaffolding for several months. The main entrance was closed and wedding parties accessed the church from

the far side of the building. After several months, with a few breaks for inclement weather, the scaffolding came down and the restored tower stood there in all its glory – and the bell rang out once again. Additional paintwork and restoration of stained glass windows then began. A service of thanksgiving to

honour all who contributed to the restoration and recommissioning is to take place on Sunday June 28 with Archdeacon Greg Ezzy and the church registrar Pat Comben in attendance, and it is hoped that those who gave so generously will be there to enjoy the occasion. A bring and share morning tea will be held following the service.

Councillors reject water reservoir upgrade Michael McDonald

Byron Shire councillors last Thursday rejected a staff proposal for the upgrade of the ‘Coopers Shoot’ water reservoir on the corner of Bangalow and Old Bangalow Roads, Suffolk Park. A staff report recommended calling tenders for the construction of a new reservoir on the site to meet ‘an existing and growing need for additional storage capacity’. Instead, councillors voted 6-2 on a motion from Cr Richard Staples to merely note the concept design report and Review of Environmental Factors (REF) for the proposed reservoir. Cr Staples claimed that the proposal had not been

justified and that ‘it seems no-one in the organisation is taking water demand management seriously except for a bunch of councillors’. ‘We’re talking about investing in huge capital works on assumptions of increased demand,’ said Cr Staples, arguing that it was a ‘water industry’ ploy to get more consumption happening. Cr Patrick Morrisey supported Cr Staples’s view, saying that according to Rous Water figures consumption from the reservoir had decreased over the last three years. Cr Morrisey also emphasised the need for a better demand management approach, noting that north coast property developers lob-

bying Rous Water against an increase in water connection fees did not seem serious about managing consumption to new housing developments. Crs Ross Tucker and Diane Woods opposed the motion. ‘This reservoir was put in in about 1982,’ Cr Tucker said, ‘the population of Suffolk Park is growing as are services to the Byron industrial estate – we need to meet service levels. Part of our core function is to supply water – we should be looking well into the future.’ Supporting the motion Mayor Jan Barham said the proposed increase of reservoir capacity from 2.5 megalitres to nine megalitres was ‘a huge growth figure – I can’t

see the evidence for that and for the expense.’ Phil Warner, director of water and recycling management services, told councillors that the existing reservoir was in satisfactory condition. ‘The existing reservoir has an ongoing service life but we need to not only meet growth but we have current obligations for peak daily demand,’ he said. In his report Mr Warner noted that ‘current storage is half of that to meet Council’s adopted service levels and that proscribed by the Water Supply Code (WSAA). Aging of the existing supply system and increased demand over time will only act to exacerbate the system storage shortfall.’

Kevin’s integrity waits on smoking gun Volume 24 #03

June 23, 2009

Government goodies Budget time: the time when government seeks to make us feel grateful – and thereby hang onto power – by handing out goodies for each electorate and for public services in general. Before anyone goes delirious with gratitude over the largesse, it is worth remembering that the money was taken from us in the first place in the form of commonwealth taxes, state fees and, that most popular impost of all, fines collected by the State Debt Recovery Office, an odious institution worthy of a Dickens novel. The decidedly smelly NSW Labor government has brought forth its annual end-of-financial-year cornucopia to pacify the punters. The Ballina electorate gets its share. The man most likely to excoriate the government’s efforts, Ballina MP and National Party shadow minister Don Page, finds it relatively inoffensive. He does point out there are no funds for an upgrade of Ballina Hospital’s surgery unit or the muchvaunted new Byron Shire Central Hospital proposed for Ewingsdale, though locals are probably happy that the friendly little hospitals at Byron Bay and Mullum still exist. On the north coast health budget in general, Mr Page notes that while the North Coast Area Health Service has received an 8.7% increase in funding it is still less than the overall state health budget increase of 10%. The health system still remains close to comatose, while millions are poured into the hole in the road known as the Pacific Highway. There are some very worthy initiatives in the Budget – $5m for new community living accommodation for people with a disability, $1.19m for Tweed-Byron-Ballina Community Transport, and $1.8m for a public housing upgrade (a drop in the bucket). However it fails to bring praise from the Northern Rivers Social Development Council, which notes the failure to increase funding to neighbourhood centres. Services such as those provided by the Byron Bay community centre and the Mullumbimby neighbourhood centre are on the frontline of the impact of the global financial crisis – they need more government support as well as the tireless dedication of volunteers. At the scarier end of the Budget spectrum, the Minister For Ignoring Local Government, Kristina Keneally, welcomes the $2.4 million to establish, operate and administer new Joint Regional Planning Panels. She suggests the panels will provide ‘support for the protection and accessibility of the State’s valuable coastal assets’. They will do no such thing. They will usurp the planning powers of locally-elected councillors and further the wet dreams of well-heeled developers. The NSW Labor Party still doesn’t get it, and probably won’t until the next election sees its ministers forcibly retired to company boardrooms. – Michael McDonald, editor

or well over two years the pundits, pollsters, psephologists and their fellow necromancers have been trying to figure out the secret of Kevin Rudd’s amazingly consistent popularity. How could a man who was so, well, ordinary scale such extraordinary heights of approval? But while the pundits disputed, one letter writer to the Sydney Morning Herald had no doubts. The answer lay in the single word ‘Integrity’. While most politicians saw it as an obscure and irrelevant philosophical concept, Rudd actually took it seriously – indeed, he lived by it. It was, and is, an wonderful political asset; but those who live by integrity can also die by it. And it is this that makes the so-called Utegate furore so dangerous for the Prime Minister and his government. On the face of it, we are talking pretty trivial stuff, as the punters appear to realise. In Monday’s Brisbane CourierMail, hardly a Labor lovers’ journal, four out of the five letters on the subject berated the opposition for carrying on about the loan of a rusty truck when the country was teetering on the edge of recession. But this, unfortunately for Rudd and his treasurer Wayne Swan, is to miss the point. The real issue is not whether Rudd accepted a gift from a friend and neighbour, car dealer John Grant who also happened to be a petitioner, or even whether Rudd helped the donor to access government largesse. It is, quite simply, whether Rudd has told the unvarnished truth about the episode. At the time of writing, this would seem to hinge on whether the alleged

F

email from Rudd’s office to Treasury which Senator Eric Abetz quoted last week actually exists, and if so whether it is genuine. If it does and it is, Rudd is in very deep trouble. Misleading the parliament over such a matter is, for the traditionalists, a hanging offence. In recent years the penalty has seldom been enforced; John Howard got away with a blatant porky at least

The real issue is not whether Rudd accepted a gift. It is, quite simply, whether Rudd has told the unvarnished truth about the episode. by Mungo MacCallum once (when he denied having a meeting with Manildra boss Dick Honan) and undoubtedly standards have slipped over the last decade or more. But it should be remembered that Gough Whitlam sacked two senior ministers, Jim Cairns and Rex Connor, not because of incompetence or private or public laxity but simply for misleading parliament; and by doing so he ultimately brought down his own government. This is the level of integrity to which Rudd aspires. Fortunately for him, by the start of the week (when this is being written) the case against him was looking very shaky. For some time Malcolm Turnbull has been flogging the story of a smoking gun – the alleged email from Rudd’s office to Treasury – to anyone who would listen, and he actually stood over Andrew Charlton, the staffer who allegedly sent it, demanding that he confess or face fearsome conse-

it wrong and has been presented, by the Motor Traders Association, with a plausible excuse for a mistaken recollection. Unless the auditor general or the federal police, both of whom have been put on the case by Ruff himself, come up with evidence which exhaustive searches within the public service have missed, Rudd would appear to be home free. And since the case against Swan – that he corruptly gave Grant preferential treatment – only makes sense if he was doing so at Rudd’s behest, the government as a whole is pretty much off the hook. Some of the mud will probably stick; Rudd’s snow white image has undoubtedly been tarnished, which probably explains why he is so angry about it. But Turnbull will suffer most. Running with a hoax email need not be a capital crime, unless, of course, he knew it was a hoax or, worse

still, was complicit in concocting it. But he still looks like a goose, and an obstinate and malicious one at that. Turnbull’s political strength has always been his supposed intellectual prowess; if he turns out to be just another mug politician it will be an almighty fall, especially if it comes through the agency of a hapless invalid named Godwin Grech. Turnbull will be seen, for a while at least, as a figure of fun, and, for a while at least, Peter Costello is still in parliament. Could he still be prevailed upon to make one last effort for the party for which, he says, he has sacrificed so much over the years and finally take the reins? The alternative, it is now clear, is to be remembered not, as Tony Abbott gallantly avers, the best Prime Minister we never had – he never even tried, so how could you tell – but as a sort of appendage to John Howard, useful and comfortable for a time, but, in the end, dispensable, like a piles cushion. Costello’s pride just might drive him to change his mind yet again, but if he did drag himself to the starting line it would involve breaking the habit of a lifetime. As early as 1997 the older and wiser heads in the press gallery picked him as too lazy and gutless. By 2007 all but his keenest barrackers had got tired of playing Waiting for Godot. Perhaps his political epitaph, like his political life, should come from that play, where one of the endlessly waiting tramps philosophises: ‘Let us not speak ill of the dead. Let us not speak well of them either. Let us not speak of them at all.’ Fly away, Peter.

The madness at Belongil reviewed And there we have it, ladies and gentlemen – in one simple statement in Matthew Lambourne’s letter in last week’s Echo – when he refers to the Belongil residents as the ‘King Canutes’. There is the true sentiment of all the radical Greens in Council and residing in the community – ‘let’s get those rich bastards at Belongil’. As I said last week, the madness at Belongil has got nothing to do with managing the environment or being green – it has everything to do with politics, jealousy, hypocrisy and some other agenda to which we are not privy. The fact is, Mr Lambourne, that Belongil houses many other people apart from the handful who may happen to be financially better off than the average resident. There is plenty of low cost housing in Belongil. There are many people who have been living in Belongil for decades who bought there initially because it was one of the cheapest options in Byron. There are a number of people who rent garages, workshops, rooms etc who are hardly in the King Canute, rich and powerful class. There are businesses at Belongil that employ locals. Are you happy to see all that disappear as well? I reiterate, put aside all the posturing and point-scoring

Aussie writers I heartily endorse Keine Nombre’s idea (Letters, June 9) of naming new Byron Shire streets after notable poets and similar literary ratbags. But I note with horror, nay, anguish, that none of his proposed names are Australian. There are some humans living outside the continental US who’ve been known to wield a keyboard, after all. What about MacCallum Drive – perhaps the road past the Billi pub could be renamed – or Astley Street, Oodgeroo Crescent, Winton Close, Wright Street,

about what has caused the faster-than-average erosion of Belongil Beach, and deal with the cold, hard facts – we live here, our homes and businesses are in danger, and it is the duty and responsibility of all levels of government to protect taxpayers’ properties. No amount of Green politics changes that fact. And why would Mr Lambourne care anyway? He lives in Mullumbimby! Maybe his attitude would be different if there was a bushfire roaring through town towards his property. Steve Tyson

Belongil ■ If Keine Nombre (Letters, June 16) was truly concerned for the plight of the Little Tern and the other shorebirds that roost, forage and/or nest on the sandflats around the mouth of Belongil Creek, then Keine would be leading a campaign against the rock walls. The impacts of the rock walls do not need to extend far to accelerate erosion to their west, rob the adjacent beach of sand, cause the Creek to break through near their end and reduce the extensive sandflats the shorebirds depend upon for roosting and nesting. Meanwhile the rock walls will accelerate the loss of the beaches in front and thereby

the area available for the Belongil shorebirds to find the invertebrates and shellfish (such as pipis) they feed on. If parents, such as the Pied Oystercatchers, can find a place to nest they will have to leave their vulnerable babies for longer to forage further and further to find food. The Belongil property owner’s gain will be the Belongil bird’s loss. Dailan Pugh

Byron Bay In one of the more sensible letters in last week’s spread on Belongil, David Gilet suggested that I should ‘walk from The Wreck towards Belongil’, though I am not sure what it was he thought I should observe. I have walked most of the beach from The Pass to beyond the mouth of Belongil Ceek, and from New Brighton to the northern Shire boundary, and have seen some interesting things. At Clarkes/Main Beach, there is not much erosion at all, and even less in front of First Sun, where according to the ‘blame Council’ theory it should be worst. Erosion increases as you go west, is worst beyond the last rock walls at Belongil and at the mouth of the creek, and is quite bad all the way up to Brunswick. North of the river doesn’t

seem so bad, but interestingly it is worse south of the New Brighton groyne that it is immediately to the north of it. I don’t have a theory to explain all of this, but it does seem that in this storm at least rock walls and groynes have made little or no difference to the amount of erosion. My guess is that it has more to do with wind and swell direction and possibly water depth offshore where the waves are breaking. What is clear though is that with rising sea levels erosion will occur all along the coast, and we have to learn to live with it, or build rock walls from Broken Head to beyond North Ocean Shores. Building rock walls in front of a few houses on the Belongil Spit (or a swimming pool at Main Beach) will eventually lead to an island surrounded by rock walls which will have cost far more than the protected properties are worth. Retreat, planned or otherwise, will happen, and what we need are policies and plans to deal with that, taking into account the Shire’s limited financial capacity and the likelihood that the state government will offer little or no help, since the same thing will be happening along the entire coastline.

Luxury krill I was recently informed that studies had been made on krill harvesting and that it was found to be that harvesting was

sustainable. That’s a matter of opinion. To me harvesting krill is the same as the prawn fishing industry, it’s a luxury food for us humans. Krill is also the main food source for most species of whale. Not only are the whales under threat from most whaling nations but now they are further endangered of starvation by their food being plundered by humans. Both krill and plankton are being harvested, I can understand (nearly) if the food was going to places such as Africa to feed the starving masses but it’s not, it’s going to the tables of Japan and

More action at Yelgun ■For those who are interested in developments regarding Splendour at Yelgun, DA 10.2009.179.1 was put on public exhibition on June 11. In this DA, Billinudgel Property Trust Pty Ltd states at the beginning that ‘the owners of the property, North Byron Shire Parklands, are seeking to use part of the property as a cultural events site’. The DA proposes various questionable and worrisome boundary adjustments and amalgamations that are related to this objective of establishing a permanent festival site on the property. (Note: the owners have not yet obtained approval even for a trial event.) The full boundary-adjustment DA (157 pages) is available at Council offices in Mullum and may be made available at other community access points and on Council’s website. The deadline for written submissions is Friday July 10.

Crime remains ‘stable’, while locals behave badly Michael McDonald

Crime rates remain stable in the Richmond-Tweed police division, albeit with a 100% increase in murders – from one to two compared with 2008 – and an upward trend of 6.2% in malicious damage to property. The figures for the year to March 31, 2009, were released recently by the NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research (BOSCAR). Malicious damage to property is the most ‘popular’

offence, with 3,560 incidents in 2008 and 3,779 in 2009. On its heels is assault (non domestic violence related) at 1,646 incidents, down from 1,850 in 2008. Domestic violence has a slightly downward trend though with a still disturbing number of incidents of assault at 944, compared with 1,115 in 2008. Fortunately robbery without a weapon is the favoured form Motor vehicle theft has gone tor vehicle – almost a sport at of theft (73) over robbery with down from 702 incidents in Byron Bay beaches – remains a firearm (10). 2008 to 604. Steal from mo- stable at 1,411 (1,494 in 2008).

The full BOSCAR report can be downloaded from www. bocsar.nsw.gov.au. Some offences such as DUI, offensive behaviour and possess prohibited substance are not recorded in the report. However a BOSCAR officer kindly sent me a breakdown of residential locations for ‘persons of interest’ (POI) in assault, offensive behaviour and malicious damage to property cases for the Byron Local Government Area (LGA). It shows that Byron locals are

EDUCATION

ND REFU TAXforget to claim

Don’t

The Australian Government’s Education Tax Refund means you could get 50% back on a range of your children’s education expenses – for eligible items bought before 1 July, 2009. It’s a refund of up to $375 for each primary school child and $750 for each secondary school child. You can claim expenses like textbooks, stationery, educational software and even computers, printers and internet costs. You are eligible if you receive Family Tax Benefit (FTB) Part A for a child at school or a payment was made for the child that prevented you from receiving FTB Part A such as Youth Allowance. You can claim the refund on your tax return. If you don’t need to lodge a tax return you can still claim, so be sure you keep your receipts and claim from 1 July 2009. To find out more visit

the main offenders, not visitors to the Shire. In assault cases for April 2008 to March 2009, 117 Byron LGA residents were persons of interest, compared with 13 folks from Lismore, 12 from Ballina, eight from Tweed, three from Brewarrina (!?) and five from Sydney and suburbs. A couple of years earlier, the upmarket Sydney suburb of Woollahra distinguished itself with three persons of interest – stockbrokers on a bender? As to offensive behaviour, 102 locals starred, compared with 12 from Ballina, nine from Lismore, and four from Tweed, plus 24 from across the socioeconomic range of Sydney suburbs. For malicious damage to property, again you can’t go past locals at 134 POI, with Tweed on 15, Lismore ten, only one from Ballina and those Sydney visitors contributing five.

Bogus traders NSW Fair Trading Minister Virginia Judge is warning north coast residents to be wary of rogue traders masquerading as local council workers. Ms Judge said the impostors are going door-to-door selling water filters, claiming the water may be dangerous and demanding money from residents to fix it. ‘Sadly there are some despicable people out there who will do anything for financial gain,’ Ms Judge said. ‘I have asked Fair Trading investigators to look into these reports immediately and if they find any illegal practices we will take appropriate action.’ Ms Judge said residents should contact Fair Trading on 13 32 20 if they have been the victim of this scam. ‘If you receive a visit from a person selling water filters and claiming to represent your local council or Sydney Water, do not give them money under any circumstance,’ Ms Judge said. Ms Judge said householders should always use their commonsense when dealing with a scam. ‘Always get independent advice if an offer involves significant money, time or commitment and be war y of people offering jobs that require an upfront fee,’ she said. ‘Do not agree to offers or deals straight away; tell the person you are not interested or that you want to get some independent advice before making a decision. Keep your credit card and ATM cards safe and do not share your personal identity number (PIN) with anyone. ‘ For more information visit www.scamwatch.gov.au or to view ‘Scams – How to avoid being ripped off ’ visit www. fairtrading.nsw.gov.au. www.echo.net.au

Absolutely ace photography Story & photo Victoria Cosford

As a reluctant latecomer to digital cameras, I decided I needed to do a basic course. It had been hard enough choosing the camera, God only knows – harder still to extract my weighty old (albeit superb) Canon SLR from its case, wrap it in a soft cloth and put it out to graze in the back of a bedroom cupboard. I enrolled in a course called ‘Digital Camera Delights’, held at the ACE headquarters in Mullumbimby. Four Tuesday mornings from 9.30am to 12.30pm I and three others collected in a computer room with our teacher Mark Baumert. Such a small class guaranteed a comfortable, intimate atmosphere and the luxury of nearly one-on-one teaching. In the first week we learnt about how to compose photos, finding some object to use as a ‘frame’, discussing concepts like ‘depth of vision’, ending up at Palm Park over the road where, despite overcast conditions, we were let loose to click away at images of bridges, trees, paths and pools of water. In the ensuing weeks we were taught how to avoid using the flash in most circumstances; how to move on to a program as opposed to an auto(matic) setting; how to centre-meter,

Un- the next level... how to change the focus. Our trips to the park became more inventive and creative the more confident we became. We played around with ISO and White Balance, custom-setting and optical zoom, close-up images and action shots. Most of it was intelligible. And as the weeks went by I began to fall in love with my new camera and all its possibilities. Suddenly the course was over, when I felt there was so much else I needed or simply wanted to learn – but recognis-

The Health Secret We Just Can’t Advertise The Way We’d Like. This water is so good we can’t legally tell you HOW GOOD! That’s right. AlkaWay ionised water is so good we’d dearly love to share the many, many hundreds of stories we have on file here in Byron Bay from regular AlkaWay water drinkers all over Australia. But we can’t.

Alkaway Water is:

Why not? Because Australian Law says no. We might ‘infer’ that our water is ‘therapeutic’ – and therefore a ‘medicine’ - so we don’t.

• A powerful antioxidant, equal in power to many of those expensive supplements you may be buying.

Here’s what we are able to share with you about AlkaWay water, from doctors, health researchers and authors around the world. Dr Robert O. Young, Author, The pH Miracle: “If someone was to ask me what was the one thing I can do to have better health, the answer would be simple – start drinking alkalised ionised water.”

• Unlike any other water you’ve ever drunk. It’s still water – but it’s not just H2O! It’s so much more. • Naturally alkaline, with acids removed.

• Microclustered, giving it unequalled hydration ability, which as we all know is so important for vitality. • Purified of the parasites and chlorine that is in the water you may be drinking now.

Web: www.alkaway.com.au/byron Fill Up at: ALKAWAY 1/24 Brigantine St, Byron Industrial Estate 24/7 (around the corner from BP Ozigo) Easy parking close to dispenser Open 9-5 Monday-Friday, dispenser operates 24/7

• Similar molecular composition to the famous healing spas of the world. • Tested for perfect crystalline structure by the Hado Institute of Japan. (as seen in ‘What The Bleep?’)

Dr Theodore Baroody, Author, Alkalize or Die ‘I have administered over 5000 gallons of this water for about every health situation imaginable. I feel that restructured alkaline water can benefit everyone.’ Dr Ben Johnson MD, DO, NMD ‘I have talked about the importance of alkalinity, so having it at my fingertips means I can alkalise my body on a dayto-day, even hour-to-hour basis. Now I can take my alkaline water with me anywhere.’ Dr Charles Richards, Ph.D ‘This water has taken my health to another level.’ Dr Glynn Hopkins, PhD, DC ‘I think it is far greater than the discovery of penicillin, or of the Salk vaccine for polio.’ David Niven Miller, Author Grow Youthful ‘There are enormous health benefits in drinking ionised alkaline water over a long period. Dr Sherry Rogers, Author Detox or Die ‘Alkaline water rids the body of acid waste. After carefully evaluating the results of my advice to hundreds of individuals, I’m convinced that toxicity in the form of acidic waste is the primary cause of degenerative disease.’

Here’s what just some drinkers have said about AlkaWay water; Healthy Happy Family We are one very happy family to be lucky enough to enjoy the benefits of drinking AlkaWay alkaline water and continue to be in awe of the healing ability of our bodies to bounce back from years of ignorance and abuse. Sue Iafeta

Furthermore, as you’ll learn on the net, it’s now sweeping the Western world after being developed in Japan, Taiwan and Korea, where it’s been used as a health support strategy for over 25 years. (In Japan it is also known as Kangen water, used in hospitals, clinics - and also used for hangovers!). And we are very, very proud to announce that - at last it’s now available to Byron Shire residents 24/7 ...from our new self serve dispenser at 24 Brigantine St around the corner from BP Ozigo. Drive right in, and you’ll have 15 litres of this incredible water in less than 3 minutes. No more carrying heavy bottles long distances – park just 3 metres away. AlkaWay water costs a bit more than some self serve water dispensers, but we guarantee that you’ll know and feel the difference within a month, if not sooner. Our users just don’t go back to drinking ordinary filtered water, and to find out why, we recommend that you Google ‘ionised water testimonials’ to learn more about the water health secret we just can’t print here.

It’s so easy!

Oxygen Levels

We’ll issue you with your own AlkaWay Health Club Swipe Card that keeps your balance on file and allows you to top up your account anytime. No more carrying change, jammed slots or wrong coin denominations with AlkaWay. Safer, faster, easier!

I’m over 65 years old, during a recent health check my Naturopath was quite astounded at the excellent amount of oxygen that is in my blood. Claire Chapman

Black as a sweep Pathways keeps presence on coast Story & photo Lou Beaumont

Victoria Cosford

A man called Bruce Black could only, surely, be a chimney sweep. Hailing from the Isle of Man, Bruce is a thirdgeneration one who, together with his wife Kim, moved to the Byron Shire some four years ago. The Northern Rivers might not seem an obvious location for such a vocation but in fact business hums steadily along for the couple. And talking to Bruce one becomes aware of how exceedingly important it is, for all those homes possessing open fires or slowcombustion burners, to have a checklist for the few months of the year they are in use in this area. This is a list which includes looking at baffle plates, fire bricks, rope seals, the seam at the back of the flue pipe, the corners of the heater – an arcane list which could belong to a previous century. Baffle

plates, for example, may sound positively cosy but it is the baffle plates responsible for sending the fire’s emissions back down the flue. The flues themselves need replacing periodically, especially in a salty, corrosive environment like this one. Unseasoned timber is another problem, given the humidity here : if the timber hasn’t been seasoned for a year the dampness clogs up the flues. Tenants in rental properties should always ask their landlords when the system was last serviced, as well as be aware what they themselves can check regularly. Bruce approaches his chimneys through the roof, using the sort of long brushes with different heads familiar in fairy-tales and cartoons – occasionally rescuing the odd duck or possum in the process. For both verbal advice over the phone or for a Sweep and Service, Bruce Black the Chimney Sweep can be contacted on 6677 1905.

The Pathways Foundation national office has relocated to Sydney and the Pathways team is keen to let supporters know that, apart from the move, it is business as usual. Cofounder, trustee, and senior leader, Joseph Raya, told The Echo, ‘Apart from thanking the community for their support we want to let everyone know that we are continuing to grow on the north coast.’ The Pathways Foundation is a national harm prevention charity that assists young people in making the fundamental emotional shift from being a child to becoming a young adult. Pathways provides contemporary, community based rites of passage for boys 13-15 years old (Pathways to Manhood) and for girls 12-15 years old (Pathways into Womanhood) and aims to improve the health and wellbeing of young men and women around Australia. Regional coordinator and leader, Paul Fletcher, says, ‘Pathways programs work to prevent underachievement, depression and family disconnection turning into the long term social problems of substance abuse and youth suicide. By improving parent-child relationships and increasing self

esteem of youth in our communities now, we will have better parents, husbands, wives and leaders in the future.’ Trustee and Senior Leader, Simone Verdon, told The Echo, ‘We all really want to thank the local community for their

generous contributions and ongoing support through all the years we have been based in Mullumbimby.’ Upcoming Pathways programs include Pathways to Manhood (North Coast NSW Program) from August 24-29

and also September 28 – October 3. The Pathways into Womanhood program (in South East Queensland) will be held from October 20-24. For bookings or information contact 1300 850 766 or visit www.pathwaysfoundation.org.au.

Chisel’s word man shoots from the hip Shots by Don Walker (published by Black Inc 2009). Jeni Caffin

Writing a job description for the director of a writers festival is ridiculously complicated. There are things that I do on a daily basis that I would never have considered part of the job and things that I imagined might accompany the position that have never materialised. One activity that I was pretty certain would prove key to the role was that of reading vast quantities of books of all kinds and genres. One thing that I knew would prove exceedingly difficult in carrying out this activity would be finding the time to do so. This is where my habitual insomnia has proved extremely useful. I picked up Shots from a nervously teetering pile of manuscripts beside my bed at around 1am some months ago, at a moment when I had given up on the likelihood of my obsessive repetition of the A A Milne poem Alexander Beetle ever sending me to sleep. (Actually, it never has, but I love the poem to pieces and find it comforting in the dark.) And that was it: I finished the book at 5am, wide-eyed and wired, and ventured out into the shadowy dawn to my yoga class, feeling as though I had been watching a gritty film, a film in which I had ridden on a soaring tracking shot as it journeyed a proscribed distance of a life. Don Walker is one of Australia’s most compelling songwriters, first with Cold Chisel and now as a solo performer and with Tex, Don and Charlie. Shots is his first book and sings with the raw energy, lyricism and observation one associates with the power anthems he penned, such as Khe Sanh, Choirgirl, Breakfast at Sweethearts and Cheap Wine. Shots is a truly extraordinary memoir, beginning with

Don Walker’s early life in Carrs Creek in rural NSW. In fact the opening paragraph, with its discovery of a lonely farmer’s death by hanging, expertly sets the bleak yet keenly observed voice of the entire book. There are word pictures that are achingly tender and evocative of small town life and the closeness of relationships, especially that with his family. There is poignancy in the portraits of his often absent but hard working dad and the mum who somehow found the means to provide him with weekly piano lessons. The memoir ends in the late 80s, which led me to hope that

a companion volume might be in the works, but after haunting Don’s sessions at the recent Sydney Writers Festival and listening to his thoughts about writing, I felt my hopes might be sadly unfulfilled. The book is stunningly well written in spare prose where every word earns its real estate. Walker pulled me into his family and childhood with long, sprawling sentences that left me breathless and dizzied with the intensity of the imagery. Travelling through his youth into the dark and hazardous 70s, I experienced a diorama of a muso’s life on the road, stripped of glamour and load-

ed with reality and washed up in a Kings Cross redolent of drugs, sleaze and drifting humanity. Having lived in Kings Cross as an impoverished NIDA student and subsequently struggling actress at precisely this time, there were many locations, images and encounters that hit me like bullets and made me shiver with familiarity. Shots is such a perfect name for this book, both for the impact of the vignettes and for the short, filmic, powerful frames in which the narrative unfolds. This is an autobiography unlike any other, certainly unlike any rock and roll memoir I have read. There is a sense of loneliness in the landscapes and cityscapes that mirrors the isolation of the muso on the move. Gigs are endless and anonymous, one blending into the other as highways merge and blur. Girls enter and leave the narrative without name: there is a cumulative effect of sex without intimacy, longing without loving while I found myself hoping for a happy ending (shades of A A Milne). Evidently Shots crept into existence from a collection of notes, without a deliberate intention that they would form a manuscript. Thanks are due to Chris Feik of Black Inc who saw their potential and worked with Walker to bring the jottings through to book form. Don Walker is an iconic Australian songwriter and in Shots reveals himself to be a writer who transcends genres. Read this book not because you’re a Cold Chisel fan, but because you appreciate original and challenging prose. Cross your fingers for the sequel: this is an extraordinary account of Australian rural and urban history and I am deeply grateful for the job and insomnia that led me to it. You will meet Don Walker at the forthcoming Byron Bay Writers Festival 2009.

Guidance in the shopping minefield Picture this: You’re standing in front of the egg section in a big supermarket. You only have a couple of minutes to choose. (Well, you know, times are fast and stressful – you might be a parent with toddler stress, you may have too-short lunch break stress; you could be unemployed and keen to get to the chocolate aisle – Centrelink stress.) Floor to top shelf is packed with cartons. There are exactly ten brands, but, among them, a bewildering range of egg ‘types’. There’s free range, barn laid, natural grain cage-free, organic free range, organic free range certified, natural grain cage, and cage (Australian farmer-owned farms). And that’s just the range from two of the brands. Others have variations on the theme: certifications (little logos), additives. Most of them have a heart tick. What about Ecoegg, or Vegg or Wattle Ridge: ‘The Environmental Egg’? You have a suspicion you’re meant to feel guilty about something. You try to focus on the toilet paper (pictures of puppies and frogs), but images seem to sneak up on you: your family’s health, the planet’s, temperature, hidden chemicals and waste. Not for the

first time you wish someone would help you out with all this. One more stress is like, you know, so exactly what you need these days. Enter a new job description in the world: the Ethical Product Auditor. Say hello to Bec. Bec enjoys researching product ingredients, food miles, carbon use, and the ethical actions of the producer. You read the packaging together on the eggs you chose. Turns out it’s an ‘environmental egg’ because ‘the packaging is recyclable’, that the company grows trees on their property, and recycle their water and chicken poo. These things are all good. Then you notice a word you hadn’t seen before, printed yellow on a yellow background: cage. Oh. How can a caged chicken – a living being converted to a ‘high

density production unit’ – be environmental? Bec has been employed by Santos Trading to research products that customers ask about. But she’s also taking it to the streets, teaching people how to do it for themselves, through a course run by Byron College called Ethical Shopping – part of the College’s Living and Working Sustainably Program. ‘It’s not about feeling guilty,’ says Bec. ‘Not at all. It’s about being informed; about empowering your choices. Every time you buy something it’s a vote for it – how it was produced, how far it’s come, what’s in it. ‘My ideal is to know who I’m buying from locally – the producer. Or bulk buy with friends. Farmers markets are great, but you might have to get the kids to school, or have to go to work. We need to relearn what healthy food is; what real food is meant to smell and taste like.’ ‘Ask yourself: Is it local? Organic? Eco-packaged? Healthy? Can I re-use it or pass it on? Will it last? Does the company follow ethical business practices?’ Inspired, you perform random acts of product checking. A popular fruit juice now uses palm sugar. ‘I didn’t know that,’ Bec says. ‘Companies change

things all the time.’ A popular chocolate bar contains the colours 123 and 129 (there’s a clue – how appetising do numbers sound?). Turns out, according to The Chemical Maze, these ‘additives’ can lead to asthma, hyperactivity, allergies, liver, kidney or reproductive failure, birth defects, and cancer. Yum. And just at the right height for kiddies. At a background level there’s deeper philosophical questions: do we need large scale production? Do we need all that plastic just to throw it away? ‘But it’s not all negative. Our choices create a positive feedback loop. And that’s the thing – it makes a difference.’ Stores, too, are on a learning curve. Some managers – particularly in the smaller, independent stores – are noticing the rise of new questions, particularly ‘where does this come from?’ Bec and Santos Trading picked up a World Environment Day Award for their Ethical Shopping Project. Byron College also won an Award for their Living and Working Sustainably Program. The new brochure for Term 3 courses will be in The Echo of July 7. ■Peter Shepherd is Writer in Residence with the Byron Region Community College.

Re-energising communities for the post-oil future in his introduction ‘the story of the emergence of the Transition movement... the most important research project taking place in the UK at the moment.’ The Hands section details the tools needed to move from ideas to action and explains in detail how communities can move towards a post-oil world that is actually preferable to the present. In other words, how to start a Transition Initiative, using the Twelve Steps of Transition. Never fear, these are suggestions only, no rigour involved, only people getting together with a plan. One of the steps, Organise an Unleashing, sounds like too much fun.

The Transition Handbook – Creating local sustainable communities beyond oil dependency by Rob Hopkins (Australia and New Zealand edition) Finch Publishing Sydney. Margo Sutton

This is a seminal guide for living well in the 21st century. Most of us are aware that climate change is an issue of great severity, but it’s only one half of the story; an understanding of what peak oil means is the other half – the two issues are known as the hydrocarbon twins. The good thing about Hopkins’ book is that it is a pageturner. Not only do readers understand and appreciate exactly what Peak oil and climate change (Chapter One) means by page 36, we agree with the author when he says ‘You will be aware by now that our fossil-fuel-saturated lives will undergo a radical redesign whether we want them to or not...’ And you want to read on. to whole economies, to hold together and function well in Energy descent spite of change and outside shocks – and how to get reThe conflicting views of oil silience back.

Our bodies and the world we need to live with, not on, are interdependent.

Positive visions The heart section is, in fact, heartwarming. Instead of doom and gloom, positive visions of the future are explored, the psychology of change is discussed, how to harness the power of positive vision. Energy Descent Action Plans and Transition Initiatives are the names given to the procedures that have been trialled and are now working in 31 towns in the UK. Look up transition towns on the internet and you will see that Rob Hopkins does not exaggerate when he says

Rob Hopkins was a lecturer in permaculture, and the catalyst for the fast growing Transition movement in the UK. In 2003 he was teaching in Kinsale, Ireland and learned about peak oil from an expert, petroleum geologist Colin Campbell. He shared this knowledge with students and formed the Kinsale Energy Descent Action Plan, which was adopted as policy by the town council. It was the first strategic community planning document of its kind. He took the process to Britain and started Transition Town Totnes in 2006. By the end of 2008 there were 31 Transition towns in the UK plus others in Europe, Canada, America, New Zealand and Australia. Obviously the Australian climate means we approach transition growth with a few different perspectives (English squirrels eating nuts from the orchards growing in public parks will not be a problem here, and I eventually worked out that cob houses were made of mud bricks, but these are minor hiccups). All the Australian groups have found the the Transition model to have universal ap-

peal and application. Author Rob Hopkins apologises for not having visited Australia, or New Zealand, where, he believes the Transition movement outside the UK has most vigorously taken root. He has given up air travel which poses a problem for such a visit.

Transition in practice There are 40 Transition Initiatives in New Zealand and seven in Australia – the Sunshine Coast, Armidale, Bell, Bellingen, Newcastle, Hervey Bay and Katoomba. In September 2007 the Sunshine Coast Energy Action Centre (SEAC) became the first formal Transition Initiative in Australia and the first one outside the UK. For more information about this group see www.seac.net. Bell, Victoria, is becoming the Fruit and Nut Tree Neighbourhood of Geelong and is building smaller houses with bigger backyards for food growing. Down the coast, Transition Initiative Bellingen formed the Bellingen Local Food Network in 2007 which became part of a regional councils-community alliance. Sydney started Transition in 2008. Come on, Byron Shire!

This book is very well researched and presented, easy to read, full of facts, graphs, charts, procedure guides, photos, cartoons and pertinent quotes, such as ‘When I see an adult on a bicycle, I have hope for the human race.’ (HG Wells, page 113). The Transition Handbook should be mandatory reading for parliamentarians, secondary schoolers, local councillors, developers and delivered to every home along with the phone book.

CONSTRUCT effortlessly shifts from the physical act of building to the emotional construction of our lives. Choreographer Tanja Liedtke explores with deft, wicked humour the curious connections between building a home, a life, a relationship and a future.

DIRECTED BY MARION POTTS, THIS NEW PRODUCTION of one of ShakespeareÕs most controversial comedies transcends expectation and preconception, taking the politics of marriage to ludicrous heights.

LiedtkeÕs Þnal work premiered to critical acclaim in London; sellout performances at the 2008 Sydney Festival, and winner of 2 Helpmann Awards in 2008.

Vibrant, energetic and packed with female punch, The Taming Of The Shrew is the perfect night out for anyone who has ever fallen in love and managed to survive it.

Photographers wanted to capture the Bay’s spirit Victoria Cosford

Wanted: professional, amateur or student photographers! Local chef/author Anthony Telford is in the process of working on a new project. Entitled ‘Wiled Time’, it will be a black and white documentation of Byron Bay in all its stages, phases and fashions, a book seeking to encapsulate the town’s spirit over the past decade. To this end he is appealing for expressions of interest

by local photographers and artists who wish to make contributions in black and white of images they feel are intrinsically ‘Byron Bay’. The main purpose of the book – apart from constituting a timeless memento of the town in a beautifully presented format – is to raise funds for the Uncle Project, now in its 15th year, with 85%-90% of the profits going towards it. Anthony, father of many children Anthony Telford, left, with head of Uncle Project Mark Gasson. himself, is only too aware of and backs the local foundation good opportunity ‘to support the importance of fatherhood, heavily. He sees this book as a and encourage local artists,

In conjunction with the launch of the book a competition will be run, with prizes ranging from $250 to $3,000 for all contributions. Anthony is also seeking financial donations from local businesses to support a government grant toward the success of the project. There will be gold, silver and

INFLUENZA UPDATE

Kindred magazine goes virtual It was March 2002 when the natural family living magazine Kindred (then byronchild) first hit the newsagent stands. Moving from a locally-sold publication to ‘a highly-endorsed international magazine in the span of eight years has been its own hero’s journey’. In keeping with its values of publishing exceptional material ahead of mainstream media, Kindred has announced that it is moving to a solely online format. ‘The scope and speed of the global changes, both in play and required, make it apparent that in order for Kindred to be effective and responsive, it must remain nimble,’ said Kindred’s founding editor Kali Wendorf.

Powerful revisions

The Government will focus on identifying and caring for people who are at risk

‘It has become apparent, upon reflection, that Kindred is at this moment in our shared history poised and ready to make powerful, innovative revisions in the way we think about, and manifest, the greatest possible impact for the greatest possible good in the three tenets of sustainability: social, financial and environmental. Given this remarkable opportunity, we realise we must, if we are going to make a real difference – and be the very change we want to see – act boldly, decisively, and without delay.’

Giants and Devils vying for local supremacy John Campbell nce more the planets and knuckleheaded sport are in perfect alignment. The Northern Rivers Regional Rugby League comp has reached its halfway point to coincide with the winter solstice, meaning that as the Sun begins its return journey to our southern skies, the teams are embarking on their run home to the end of season’s glittering prize. After nine rounds there are five clubs – the Byron Bay Red Devils, the Mullumbimby Giants, Northern United, Lower Clarence and the Grafton Ghosts – that have shown themselves to be a cut above the rest. Only a mug would call the outcome of a race when there is still such a considerable distance to travel and so many battles to be fought, but Malcolm Mackerras’s crystal ball suggests that it will be two of those frontrunners who are the last ones standing on grand final day. Finishing in the top three, thus ensuring the home ground advantage and two bites of the cherry at play-offs time, is of paramount importance to the contenders, so Sunday’s clash

It’s been a blessed ride for Akmal Saleh, one of Australia’s most loved standup comics who professes ‘I’m about the laziest person I know. My wife says she can’t believe I’ve done as well as I have. I don’t know anyone who sleeps as long as I do. I cut corners…’ But great things happen to Saleh who just recently accepted a book deal. ‘I am writing a book about growing up in Egypt and remembering the characters and stories from the comedy industry.’ This came hot on the heels of Saleh retiring from a short but successful national radio career. A few years back was offered the carrot that every comic hopes for, a contract for a nationally syndicated radio show. Saleh spent two and a half years with NOVA before walking away to spend more time pursuing his first love, standup. ‘It was hard to let go because they pay you really well. I wasn’t really thinking about doing radio, they approached me, I’m not a radio person, I’m not smooth, I’m awkward, but they offered me a contract.’ Leaving isn’t always easy, and Saleh left with

ratings sky high. ‘I needed my freedom back, it was hard to leave – I would have paid my mortgage back with another year. It’s funny, the harder you try the less successful you get, last year the ratings kept going up because I made less of an effort then I ever did, I didn’t care, if they sacked me they would have had to pay me out!’ No matter how rock solid the self esteem, public criticism about one’s craft always stings. You can

imagine Saleh’s surprise when he discovered a Facebook site dedicated to killing him. ‘I was doing this debate in Sydney on Facebook, so I thought I should do some research. I found this one guy who said I hate Akmal, that’s OK, fair enough, but there’s another guy who’s joined and set up

his own site saying Let’s Kill Him and then there’s suggestions on how I could die. I told a friend who rang the police and they forced the guy to take it off. There were at least 80 people who’d joined. It only takes one person with schizophrenia to go that’s a great idea, I know where he lives!’ Actually Saleh now lives in Byron. He has recently moved here after the love at first sight reaction that got all of us here. ‘I have always loved it here. The first time I came I thought I would retire here, but I am getting old and I thought I want to enjoy it, I don’t want to be in a nursing home in Byron! ‘We found a house that was cheaper than I imagined… this is the first house I have lived in, it’s the first time I’ve had a backyard! I have always lived in apartments.’ Telling your Sydney friends you are moving to Northern NSW can come as a bit of a shock. Akmal’s friends were no exception. ‘To a lot of people it’s really foreign, they don’t understand why you’d want to live somewhere with lots of hippies and weirdos. But I love it. I feel like I’m part of that tribe. It’s exactly like comedy. Comedy is full of outcasts. Some of my

comedian friends if they weren’t comedians would probably be in institutions or prisons. Byron is a sanctuary. It’s very welcoming. I know. I have been everywhere in this country – every single town at least five times and there are a lot of shit holes out there! You go there and think, why would you live there? I’ve just been in Gladstone: it’s by the sea but you wouldn’t know it there’s all these smelters, let’s put smelters right by the water! What were they thinking? It doesn’t matter where I live anyway because I usually have to fly to work. ‘ Obviously a challenge on Walk to work day. Akmal has just finished shooting an episode of Thank God You’re Here. And yes, it really is terrifying. ‘I can’t watch it. I get this horrible knot in my stomach – it’s like watching people bungey jump. It’s scary for me – I don’t have a theatre sports background, I don’t do character – it’s always me. Everyone gets really nervous backstage, pacing up and down and they rarely edit, if you do something that you don’t get a laugh they leave it in so the audience knows it’s spontaneous.’ Akmal Saleh headlines at the Byron RSL in his first gig as a Byron local on Monday at 8pm.

KNIT PICKING

Just yesterday I received a package from my blind Nanna. In the absence of vision, she’d employed a woman down the street to knit a cardie set for my newborn. We’re talking booties, Amish style hat, the works. I was disappointed that it didn’t fit me. It has always amazed me that women of previous generations have held the rather ordinary magic that turns long pieces of string into objects. They are alchemists turning base matter into sweaters. With a few swift clacks they transform length into

breadth. Einsten may have come up with relativity theory, but I know a woman who can knit socks. It almost confirms for me that God is in fact a woman. A very old woman who managed to knit one pearl one her way to a universe. If you think buttonholes are hard, try knitting water, or stars, or for something even more fiddly, human genitalia. Fortunately God was a believer in natural fibres. Unfortunately my grandmother’s friend is not. Like a lot of women of 70 plus, they prefer wool blends with polyester and acrylic, a hangover from the 40s when

nylon was the new wonder product. I grew up in the country but I don’t remember ever wearing a natural fibre. We were surrounded by sheep, but it was considered uncouth to use something as filthy as pure wool. I don’t think I saw cotton until I was a young woman living in the city. Mine was a polyester childhood. I was a baby in an acrylic romper suit nursed by a chiffon clad chainsmoking Mama. I am surprised that more polyester poppets didn’t end up with their beanies melted into their flesh. I still have a few tiny cardigans from when I was a baby. It’s amazing. They have a 500 year half life. My grandmother tried to teach me to knit. I made a selection of scarves, but sadly, my skill never progressed. I could only make uneven square slabs of wool. In an apocolyptic future, where a new ice age

looms, women who can knit will be valued far more than women with big boobs and blonde hair. All hail the woman who can knit a tea cosy. In fact, I think it was the fact that women started to channel their post natal depression into what I call dead end knitting that the humble art lost favour with us feminist types. I looked at the tiny jumper my Nan made for the teapot and I once thought to myself, Oh God, please don’t let that be me. When I start nurturing inanimate objects and worrying if they are warm enough it’s time to knit myself a coffin cover. When you start knitting covers for clothes hangers it’s a definite cry for help. When you’ve knitted a toilet dolly it’s over baby. It’s medication station. Being a woman who has always prided herself on intellect and wit I never stuck with the knitting. I looked

down my long feminist nose at women’s craft and when I was at Uni I wrote essays on women’s subjugation remarking how sad that the sum total of a woman’s life might only be a few quilts and baby bonnets. It’s hard to dress a child in a thesis. At least those non-intellectual types had something to hand on. I have nothing to pass on to my children except a folder full of inappropriate jokes and photos of me in the nude. I ran into a friend who’d just been at her knitting group. Knitters who natter. These keepers of the dark art are modern day witches. There is something so wonderfully technology free about two sharp sticks, a length of wool and that soft clack clacking sound. People chatting. Its like an organic version of Twitter. Except it’s called Knitter.

INTERVIEW Comedy The Big Gig Since leaving his job as a rather unsuccessful and deeply dissatisfied welder, comedian Mark McConville has celebrated a decade of laughs. Mark’s humble beginnings as a tradesman are what gives him that uncanny ability to connect with his audience. He is joined by support act, Bart Freebairn, recently returned from the Melbourne Comedy Festival where he presented his one man show Doppleganger to ecstatic reviews from local press. Uber comic, S Sorrenson will tend to MC proceedings for the evening. This illusive poet turned comic, turned writer turned journalist turned festival raconteur continues to share the wisdom gleamed from his life long odyssey as a gentle peace loving vegetarian intellect. The Big Gig at Ballina RSL is just $5. Thursday 8pm.

A: ‘Our solar sound system. We built a machine to turn sunshine into music, and it loves to play reggae music the best! A few solar panels, some cables, some brains and some boxes. We can take this gadget and play where anywhere. We can jam in the park or record in the mountains… infinite possibilities! We also do a bunch of festivals and dj gigs, running renewable energy sound systems and lights, etc. We can help you build your own as well…’ Q: What can people expect from the show? Nomad: ‘A range of styles including live original bass driven tunes from me and a selection of tunes from those that have inspired my musical journey.’

OG: ‘Myself on guitar and vox, MC Switch will be ‘toasting’ and keeping the interaction going between the audience and us, and also the Nomad will be scratching and dropping samples throughout. It’s a good tight set with room to jam and freestyle because of the live elements.’ Melatonin: ‘It’ll be a journey from dub and rootsy rocksteady down some electronic paths to some good ol’ dancefloor shakedowns.’ Q: Is music an effective platform for politics? Nomad: ‘I can’t help but think that Bob Marley got shot, Biggie got shot and Michael Jackson was forced into being broke and weird.’ OG: ‘Hell yeah, music is probably the most accessible way of messages being presented to the average

show as such a major feature? ‘I have always wanted to work with music. I saw some shows in Europe years ago that had absolutely awesome music with comedy and circus. It can be difficult to find musicians who can do it because it’s improvised.’ With improvisation comes mistakes. According to Joel, mistakes are essential in the creation of unique and challenging performance. When you are a juggler, there’s always the possibility that you are going to stuff up. ‘Juggling has a natural tension. There is always the possibility of totally stuffing up. People say, what does it feel like when you drop something? It’s confronting for peopole to think about failing on stage, but it’s something that I play on.

Contact Retrospect Galleries for tickets. (02) 6680 8825. Skerlj went to the University of Queensland. There she studied journalism, literature and art history. ‘I always loved both writing and art. I liked everything I was doing at UQ but I was really missing art. So, after graduation, I did a two year course in visual art at Southbank TAFE.’ While still studying in Brisbane, Skerlj began to explore ways of redesigning the figure; of ‘creating new creatures using animals and humans – anthropomorphic stuff’. She began looking at the idea of Exquisite Corpse, a game of collaborative imagination devised by the Surrealists. It began with words and, later, was adapted to drawing and collage. Rather like in a parlour game, one artist would begin a drawing, fold the paper over to conceal it, and pass it on. In her version of the game, Skerlj is sole player. ‘You have more of an idea of what’s going to come out – but I really like the idea of combining different elements and making new subjects.’

Larraine Bryant at Curious Gallery Chinderah Larraine Bryant has called her exhibition All Things Beautiful. ‘I’ve been sketching since I was a little girl but painting, probably only the last eight years.’ Bryant, originally from Sydney, lives in Kingscliff. ‘The beauty of this area is very inspiring for artists.’ Originally, Byrant planned an exhibition of cat drawings and paintings. But her final assembled works range across people, places, animals and landscapes. ‘It’s about the beauty in life.’ It includes quite spare water colour and pencil works as well as colourful abstract acrylics. Until 19 July, 94a Chinderah Bay Drive.

Joy Hobbs at Escape Gallery It is not surprising that Joy Hobbs loves a garden, or that she has called her exhibition ‘Expressions of Joy’. Joy in plants and flowers; joy in the natural environment. Essentially self taught, she’s been painting for around thirty years. ‘I was always interested in painting and drawing. I always had coloured pencils as a child.’ For this exhibition, Hobbs has worked in either acrylics or oils. ‘I haven’t used watercolours for this exhibition but, if you use acrylics on paper, you can get almost a water colour effect.’ What are the differences between working on canvas and working on paper? ‘It’s a totally different process because the acrylics soak into the paper, but working on canvas, you can treat the acrylics like oils.’ Her painting A Splash of Summer, a blaze of gerberas, is on canvas. “I knew I wanted a painting that was big, bold and bright so that decided canvas. With paper, size is limited.’ Gerberas, hibiscus, frangipani, magnolias, a little cottage in Kyogle, the Flinders Ranges, Mudgee, the Broadwater area around Southport, Uki with

The Proposal A lot of movies turn on one scene. It’s the moment when you are either sold on what is happening or not. In this agreeable rom-com that moment comes when Margaret (Sandra Bullock) is trying on the wedding gown that has been passed down for generations in the family of her groom to be, Andrew (Ryan Reynolds). She is fussed over by Andrew’s mom and grandmother, who make clucky jokes about her small breasts, but the frivolous mood subtly moves into weepy self-awareness for Margaret as she comprehends all that her situation entails. Director Anne Fletcher has improved

out of sight on the brainless 27 Dresses, primarily because she has a much stronger protagonist involved. Canadian Margaret, in stilettos and black suit, is a ruthless exec at a NYC publishing house. A visa violation will lead to her deportation, so, to circumvent the unthinkable, she spontaneously announces to her boss that she is to marry Andrew, her assistant. The joke, naturally, is that they are incompatible and the story, you know only too well, will be about how they arrive at a smoochy ending. The writers’ initial task is to make likeable a tough cookie who treats her underlings with disdain and who, at the immigration office, contemptibly jumps a long queue of ‘gardeners and maids’. First step is to take her out of her everyday environment. Andrew’s folks live in Alaska, so they fly there and are surrounded by family and well-wishing friends. Second, and most important, introduce a character to divert

Year One Remember when the father asked Juno who had made her pregnant and upon being told it was Paulie Bleeker said ‘I didn’t think he had it in him’? He was referring to the actor Michael Cera, who has reprised Paulie’s drippy character (and looks set to make a career of it) in playing Oh, the forlorn virgin, in this joyous celebration of buffoonery. He and Zed (Jack Black) are banished from their tribe of hunters and gatherers and, in a FULLY AIR-CONDITIONED EVERY WED ALL SEATS ALL SESSIONS $8 ONLY

delirious mish mash of history, stumble into the world of the Old Testament, turning up just as Abraham is about to sacrifice Isaac (it would be interesting to know what percentage of the target audience has any idea of the reference). Zed intervenes, Abe takes him to be a messenger from God, inducts Zed and Oh into his flock and decides to circumcise all the men in thanks for not losing his son, prompting Oh to ask ‘couldn’t we just get our ears pierced or something?’ Cera’s feeble pitch is perfect, as it is throughout. Black’s excesses can have the most dreadful consequences – e.g. Nacho Libre – and Cera is so good at countering them that he ends up making it his movie. The boys also meet up with Cain, high priests, kings and princesses and a brutal soldier (Vinnie Jones), one of whose preferred forms of torture is to squeeze Oh’s nipple – it’s hardly sophisticated, but I laughed like a drain. There is little point in tracking the story, for it lunges maniacally from one set up gag to the next – some don’t work, others are uproarious. My favourite came with Oh hanging upside down in a dungeon, like one of the peasants in The Wizard of Id. He needs to pee and the camera closes in on his face as gravity causes his urine to run up his nose while Zed yells stupid stuff from the opposite wall. Pardon my baseness, but it’s a total hoot. Hank Azaria and Oliver Platt, given inches take show-offy miles with their parts, and Juno Temple is lovely as Eema, the object of Oh’s desire. Notwithstanding some lush pre-Raphaelite sets, gorgeous costumes that range from the accurate to the entirely anachronistic and an anti-idolatry moral, director Harold Ramis surprises nobody by sticking strictly to a low brow tone – there’s no need to ask if there’s a fart joke – so if you’re partial to a dose of ratbaggery you’ll love it. I know I did. ~ John Campbell

Night at the Museum 2 Night at the Museum 2 follows such a successful original that we could have expected this

outing to simply follow in the first film’s footsteps. But while this sequel does indeed repeat a winning formula, it has also refined and improved the original concept noticeably. The new film is much funnier. The pacing benefits by being quicker. The scripting is tighter. The performances from the huge ensemble cast are far

more consistent. And, silly as it is, the story is smart enough to sneak a little historical substance into the mix when nobody’s looking. Night at the Museum 2 has perfected its preferred brand of highjinks and it certainly delivers upon its promise of plenty of throwaway fun for an all-ages crowd. ~ Lounge Cinema

the viewer’s scorn – enter Andrew’s overbearing father. Old Joe Paxton is a self-made millionaire who thinks that his son is a wuss for pursuing a career in books and for being at a woman’s beck and call. The conflict is established, Margaret begins to thaw – she literally lets her hair down (along with the librarian taking off her glasses to reveal the sex kitten hidden by them, it’s a most venerable device) – and Cupid gets to work on the odd couple. I’ve not previously taken to Bullock, placing her well behind the likes of Reese, Kirsten and Cameron, but she is wonderful here – and she looks great in a pair of shortie pyjamas. A late plot twist varies the standard fare, there is a neat morning erection joke and Oscar Nuùez does a deliciously fruity Ramone, the only male erotic dancer in those parts. And local filmmakers would do well to take note of the great extras’ acting in the office shots. ~ John Campbell

I haven’t really bothered with many television cooking programs since the demise of the superb SBS Food Lovers’ Guide To Australia – brilliant for many reasons, not least for the fact that it was the food that was stroked and celebrated rather than the egos of the presenters. Alive and Cooking, Huey’s Cooking Adventures, Ready Steady Cook, The Cook and the Chef, Nigella, Jamie and the insufferable Gordon Ramsay: I would rather cook or read than slump in front of them. Then again, perhaps that says more about my antipathy to television than to the programs themselves. Then along came MasterChef. I was a latecomer and a sceptical one at that, tuning in around week three or even four of the series, prepared to enjoyably sneer my way through to the bitter end. And while I continue to sneer and disapprove and criticise, I admit that I am in its thrall. Unlike many characters in other ‘reality’ shows I find myself actually liking most of the amateur cooks on this one. And of course I love watching the dishes being prepared, the challenges set, the final product, the occasional disaster. I find myself shouting comments to the television set, as if the characters could somehow hear me: ‘No, Trevor, that bait idea won’t work!’ or ‘Hurry up for God’s sake, Geni!’ I’ve got my favourites, and exchange cosy discussions with my work colleagues on the various triumphs or farces we experienced the previous evening. And yet I suspect that ultimately my chief pleasure derives from the silliness of it all and the fact that so much of it is just embarrassing. Aside from the routine humiliations the eliminated contestants are forced el

to endure, endemic to many reality programs and an element both sadistic and odious, the degree of seriousness with which the three judges and the glamour hostess take the proceedings is nothing short of cringe-inducing. Gary and George are both utterly devoid of charisma, two unprepossessing chefs who have cultivated the art of tensely pausing before each solemn pronouncement; puffy Matt Preston often looks as if he would rather be somewhere else; statuesque, dull Sarah Wilson must surely find it impossible at times to retain her poker expression. ‘Aaron’, she asks of a newly-eliminated contestant, ‘how are you feeling? Are you disappointed?’ I wish one of them when asked this preposterous question would tell the truth instead of rabbiting on about how inspired they are to keep following their culinary dream regardless. One of my favourite episodes featured the contestants cooking huge amounts

of canapes for a cocktail party. George said ‘In all the history of MasterChef Australia me and Gary have never been so nervous.’ Apart from the grammar of the utterance, what does ‘in all the history’ mean? Hasn’t MasterChef only been going for about five minutes? As for the episode where a guest celebrity chef somehow managed to bring her gnocchi to the boil, then pan-fry them with prawns and sage, then plate them up, all in the space of about 50 seconds – it was a level of phoniness almost breathtaking. The show has been an unanticipated success, ‘serving up sizzling ratings’, according to one witty report. Specialist food stores are noticing an impact on sales of equipment featured on it – pasta machines, potato ricers – and searches for recipes of the dishes produced surge immediately after going to air. I just hope they’re considering a second series!

Latest incarnation for the riverfront space under the corner motel in Brunswick Heads is Sandbar, run by Katy Bassett. The Bassetts have hospitality in their veins – father John ran the much-loved Cafe Viva in Byron Bay for years; mother Josie has the Pass Cafe with son Josh cooking; other brother Paul was World Barista Champion in 2003. (At 25 he was the youngest and only Australian to ever win a Championship.) Katy plans to make ‘Sandbar’ a great daytime venue for coffee, cakes, breakfasts and lunches and as a special promotion has arranged for Paul to fly up on Saturday June 27 and dispense complimentary coffees throughout the morning. ‘Sandbar’ is at 2, The Terrace, Brunswick Heads.

Part of the Noosa long weekend 10-day cultural event, the annual Eumundi Food Fest takes place this Sunday June 28. Now in its seventh year, it brings together local producers, growers, chefs, restaurateurs, entertainers and food lovers with a host of activities and entertainment throughout the day. There will be cooking demonstrations and cook-offs (duck, salmon, Spanish-influenced seafood, tapas dishes, bush herbs and spices) and recipe cards will be available. Local wineries will provide the wines, there will be over 60 stalls dispensing tasting-sized takeaway dishes, and a master class on all things coffee will teach you how to brew the perfect cup. It runs from 10am to 3pm and, with face-painting, rides, attractions and roving entertainers, promises to be a fabulous day for the whole family.

Futsal’s Jaggerbabes defend title against e-lemon-8erz It was a battle of wills in the Men’s 2nd division Futsal Grand Final Recently. Last year’s defending champions, the aptly named ‘Jaggerbabes’ featuring four Premier League football players, were pitted against a team of young contenders called the ‘elemon-8erz’. The e-lemon-8erz team is made up of seven talented local 15 year old boys, most of whom are either NSW or Far North Coast representative Futsal players, and the Men’s competition has been fantastic training for their incredibly successful representative campaign this year. The young guns finished the competition as point-score champions but the preliminary rounds between the two teams were each hard fought. At the end of the season they had each won two games from their four previous encounters. Unfortunately in the final, the youngsters had to play without their goalkeeper Layton Barton, who was badly injured

The Jaggerbabes, in grey, successfully defended their title against the junior e-lemon-8erz at the recent 2nd Division Grand Final.

during an exhibition match the week before. There were plenty of fans there to see the Grand Final and the players put on a fantastic performance that was

arguably the best of the whole season in any grade. The improvement in both teams is remarkable. The fancy footwork and tricks they had been perfecting were amazing,

and something you never see in the outdoor football game, even at Premier League level. One spectator remarked, ‘If football is called the beautiful game, Futsal must be the ‘orgeous game.’

The teams traded shot for shot and the Jaggerbabes goalkeeper Matt Rixon was put under intense pressure from the start with balls ricocheting off the metalwork time after time. The young lads were really missing their keeper and had to rotate their strikers as goal keepers. The much larger ‘Jaggerbabes’ made the most of their experience and size, however the incredibly talented ‘e-lemon8erz’ put their fitness and intensive representative training to good use and traded goal for goal. It was anybody’s game right up until the last few minutes when the ‘Jaggerbabes’ put a shot past replacement keeper Tim Knight, taking the score to 6-5. At that point the game became incredibly intense with both sides desperate to either hang onto a win or equalise in the dying seconds. At the full time hooter there were amazing scenes of elation on one side and despair on the

other and in the end, the Jaggerbabes had defended their title with great sportsmanship; some of commented that it may have been a different result if Barton was able to play keeper for the ‘e-lemon-8erz’. NSW coach Ray Musgrave, said the best thing about this North Coast Futsal competition is that there is incredible competition, however the players don’t take themselves too seriously and are out there for fun. In a postscript to the Grand Final, six of the ‘e-lemon-8erz’ are in the regional Futsal team that has won their age division at both the Queensland Country titles and the Queensland City titles earlier in the season. The week after the Men’s Grand Final, the boys competed in the Pacific Region Championships in Brisbane. With their specialist keeper still badly injured and unable to play in the three day tournament, the team amazed everyone by winning the silver medal. Quite a remarkable achievement for the local boys.

Eight weeks and counting With only eight weeks to go before the second annual Mullum to Brun Walk and Run, entries are coiming in thick and fast and are well up on last year. Renee Kelly, who was the 2008 female winner, has placed her entry in the run and is looking forward to defending her title. The ‘Everyday Hero’ fundraising has takinen off. Already there are two entrants who have alreayd managed to fundraise $290 for their own personal causes. The Supa IGA in Byron Bay has joined in the fundraising, with a Mullum to Bruns chest box which is taking tokens already, so the events is turning to a super fundraiser this year.

For those who couldn’t enter last Saturday at the cancelled Mullum markets, there is still time to enter online, and there will be another opportunity to enter at markets before race day. Entries are open 24 hours a day online at www.mullumtobruns.org.au.

Red Devils fire up in torrential downpour John Campbell

Nobody had a right to turn on the brand of football that the Red Devils did on Sunday. It was the foulest of days and not in the least conducive to the spick and span of Byron’s first-half performance against the Casino Cougars. They led by 14-0 at the break and went on to smash the wretched visitors to the tune of 30-0, but it was the enthusiasm and execution of their opening that most impressed. From the kick-off, half-back Ben Webber sent prop Dallas Hood roaring down the eastern flank on a fifty-metre run. He passed inside to hooker Bond – Corey Bond – who almost got over himself before fast clean hands whipped the ball across field for winger Bill Lowrie to beat the corner post for the first of his brace of tries. Lowrie was in again from dummy-half soon after to make it 8-0, goal-kicker Duane Cahill, stymied by the sludgy conditions and his abandonment of his orange boots, missing the difficult conversions.

The heavens opened up a Red Devil park but the Byron boys would not be denied, sending the Casino Cougars home sad, sorry and soaked to the bone.

The Bay were focused and in tune, the talk among them pumped. Passes stuck and Tobin Cupples, back at his preferred five-eighth, was having a whale of a game in both defence and attack, as was the number one, Brad Lees. Meanwhile the rain was pelting down and the going underfoot getting treacherous. With the floodlights on,

Dean Allen barged in under the sticks as the half-time siren sounded and the Cougars, like everybody else, looked like they just wanted to go home. The Devils carried on in similar vein after the break, albeit with not quite the same crispness – there’s only so much joie de vivre you can exhibit when you’re caked with mud. The second stanza saw centre Michael Chapman

notch a couple of tries and captain Eli Colby finished the scoring when he splashed over with ten to go. At 30-0 we’d all had enough and prayed for the mercy rule to be invoked so that we might bugger off and get in front of the heater with a hot toddie. The Devils, showing the sense of duty that is essential in any champion’s make-up, refused to let their line be crossed but, to the Cougars’ credit, they kept plugging away. (Particularly peeving was the four-eyed touchie’s denial of the try scored by Casino’s number two that would have given this correspondent his first ever first-scorers double –≠ but, though soaked to the bone, one mustn’t grumble.) The Bay’s reggies had a 46-4 victory but the Under 18s were run down in a spirited encounter. At Lismore, the Mullumbimby Giants’ game against Northern United was abandoned due to the condition of the ground at Crozier Field and will be played at a date to be announced.

Deadlock lives on for Rams and Rovers It was the top of the table Football Premier League ‘showdown’ both teams had been waiting for all season. With the Byron Rams and reigning 2008 Premiers Richmond Rovers both locked together on 15 points, this game was looming as the decider. The top scoring Byron Rams with 23 goals already this season and the lightning quick frontline of John Bradbury, Tim Knight, Jordy Campbell and Sam Owen was pitched against arguably the tightest defence in the league of Rover’s Mitchell Flower, Joel Saye and Adam Gray. With four draws from their last four premiership matches, both clubs were desperate to break the deadlock. It was a high intensity game from beginning to end with much of the play in the midfield. It was no holds barred action with bone crunching tackles all over the park. The first attack came from Byron in the first couple of minutes, with Jonathan Pierce in the back line converting defence into attack passing a ball to John Bradbury on the left wing, who set up a shot for Jed Wright, however Rovers keeper Andrew Marshall got to it in time. From that point on, the play went from end to end with precision control and ball work from both teams. Rover’s strikers Ben Casagrade and Troy Mathews caused havoc in attack and they missed a ‘sitter’ at the 8-minute mark. However after the nerves were settled, www.echo.net.au

Shiners miss by ten seconds and one point The hand of fate stepped in and gave the Moonshiners an uppercut of the cruellest kind on Saturday. Leading Evans River by 6 points with 10 seconds to go, a pass is intercepted, a try under the posts is converted and a team of gallant Shiners feel sick in the guts, but the 15-14 loss should not overshadow the outstanding performances of young guns Wally Stewart, Nathan Nicholls, Teal Pyne and Jed Probert. The passion and commitment of the juniors coming through is a credit to all involved with the Billy Goats. The Under 19’s grew in stature with a convincing 18-14 defeat of Lismore.

Beach run this Sunday A reminder that the 2009 Byron to Brunswick Beach Run will be run this Sunday. The event will be open to all runners from children in under 12s to the 65 and over division.

Ram’s midfielder Jed Wright keeping the Rovers at bay during the clash to break the deadlock at Neilson Park, East Lismore on Saturday.

the Rams back three of Yantra Whitling, Bruce Morehouse and Pierce had them covered and pulled off some amazing defensive tackling to keep them at bay. The fans got their money’s worth with incredibly quick attacking runs from both teams and just before half time the Rovers keeper had to save three shots in three minutes. Again in the second half the play was fought in the midfield with Rams Gabriel Monier, Bradbury and Wright, brilliant with distributing the ball and indeed the Rams looked the better side. However frustration set into the Rovers camp after 20 minutes and they started fouling

with some huge hits and giving away successive free kicks. However just 10 minutes later a split second lapse in concentration allowed Rovers substitute Jesse Hartman to break through and score. However the Rams weren’t going to settle for second best and just 30 seconds later, Bradbury crossed with a shot from the sideline, the ball bounced off the keeper and Sam Owen was waiting to knock it into the net. With both sides desperate to break the deadlock the play intensified further however the defences remained rock solid and the score remained at 1 all to the end. Although not the high scoring type of

game the Rams fans are used to, this was arguably the best Premier League game so far this season. The draw marks an unprecedented fifth in a row between the teams, but allowed Goonellabah to now join them at the top of the point score table with their easy win over Lennox. The Rams will be out to end Lismore Workers winning streak of 3 on the trot in their next game. Rams Coach Peter Ware will be leaving nothing to chance with an unpredictable Lismore Workers quite capable of causing an upset. Stay tuned spectators as it promises to be another exciting encounter.

The young fellas are playing for each other and backing themselves. In recent weeks they have risen from the bottom of the table to fifth position only two points outside the top four. Jessy Malivanek and Zac Frazier were shining lights with Teal ‘ard as nails’ Pyne and Nathan ‘cool hand Luke’ Nicholls bagging five pointers. Both sides are at home this Saturday, U19s 12.30pm and Seniors will play right after them at 2pm. Players are reminded to wear clothes that are ‘bright and tight’ and come prepared for a post game bonding session. Spectator are reminded that the local derby is on July 18.

Mungo’s Crossword first published in The Week.

TAURUS: Whether your social self wants to shop for musthave indulgences this week, or you’d frankly rather just sleep, eat and do nothing at all then follow your body’s call. If you remember to give it some soul food as well, you’ll simply cruise through this harmonious week. GEMINI: This week might drive others inside by the fire but Geminis will do best out and about, or even better off enjoying a reviving getaway. Because after recent changes you’re not the old you any more, and not likely to ever be again. How good is that? Picking a winner of this week’s Oceania Zonal in Tweed Heads – the start of the long qualifying process leading up to a 2011 World Championship match – is a difficult task, though it is safe to say that the sole qualifier for November’s World Cup in Siberia will be an Australian. Australia’s number one, Grandmaster Zhao Zong Yuan, is top seed and heavy favourite but the 22-year-old from Coffs Harbour has played only once in 2009 – a solid performance at the Sydney International – and could be rusty. In addition, Zhao has indicated that he would be unlikely to be available to travel to a second World Cup in Siberia so his killer instinct may be muted. Australia’s newest Grandmaster, David Smerdon, will be looking to follow up this month’s NSW Open win and on form is the man to beat. However there is a traditional post-Grandmaster title hangover which Smerdon, 24, may struggle to overcome. Despite the presence of many of the best players from
