Environment council breaks DECC stalling The North Coast Environment Council (NCEC) last week claimed victory in its long-running dispute with the Department of Environment and Climate Change (DECC) over a Freedom of Information claim. In February last year, the NCEC made a Freedom of Information application to obtain copies of 17 logging approvals issued by the Department of Environment and Climate Change over forests in northern NSW. The request was repeatedly refused by the Department. After 18 months of legal wrangling and a challenge that was taken all the way to the NSW Administrative Decisions Tribunal, NCEC finally obtained the documents it was asking for. ‘We have been successful in our bid to lift the “cone of silence” that has been lowered on logging approvals on freehold land in NSW for the last two years,’ said Susie Russell, NCEC vice-president. ‘We are very happy

Expo says it all, naturally

that we have now achieved a basic level of transparency when it comes to freehold logging, and have finally overcome the secrecy and obfuscation of the Department of Environment. ‘Community groups and neighbours can now access, via Freedom Of Information, the basic maps of areas that have been made available for logging on private land. This is an important precedent. ‘The decision also means that the community can now check whether oldgrowth forests and rainforests are being properly protected. ‘Based on the information provided today, the concerns that motivated us to begin this process are justified. We contend that there are serious problems with the way the Department is assessing rainforest and oldgrowth. Most of it seems to be disappearing in the remapping process. The whole process has left us astonished at the All Natural Expo festival director Raym Richards wth Ajunta Willert and the Water Mill atmospheric water generator. continued on page 2 The Good Vibes stall previewing the soon-to-be-released, pure water from air machine, was one of 35 stalls displaying their wares during the three day Expo at the Bangalow A&I Hall.

Garrett delivers arts funds

Victoria Cosford

The vision for a local Indigenous artists’ space came from a meeting of 30 Indigenous artists from all over the region, convened by Bundjalung artist Digby Moran, pictured, in 2005. Last month the 3 Rivers, Aboriginal Arts Space was opened. Last Wednesday federal arts minister Peter Garrett, pictured, the one with less hair, announced $350,000 worth of funding for Arts Northern Rivers, sufficient to run the gallery and support Indigenous arts development in the region for the next three years. Photo Jeff Dawson.

Bangalow’s inaugural All Natural Expo attracted a respectable crowd on its opening day. Describing itself as a lifestyle expo focusing on all things natural, it was held over three days at the A&I Hall. At the entrance a vibrant display of lettuces, bok choy, pink grapefruit and chillis greeted visitors before they were drawn into the hall fragrant with both cooking smells and perfumed potions and lotions. Hand-made, sustainable, organic, fair-trade and recycled was the theme for the stalls and booths, effectively constituting a one-stop shop for all the sustainable products and services you might need. At Shiatsu Essentials three women with their feet in basins of water were undergoing ion detox footbaths; next door a human shape ‘like a patient etherised’ lay enshrouded on a massage table. Luxury organic mini facials were offered alongside hand scrubs; ecofriendly gifts at a stall whose owner

was telling one couple that she had ‘a love affair with the people of Bangladesh’; the Good Vibes stand displayed bumper stickers, badges and fridge magnets with aphorisms like ‘Be You – And Change The World’, ‘Magic. You Are It. Be It’, ‘Welcome To The Party Of Consciousness’. Down one end, Open Table catering company was dispensing orange semolina cakes, spice cakes, brownies and tofu pockets while solitary people hunched over mugs of fair trade coffee at the trestle tables. Hemp shaving sticks, tiny wooden cheese boards, natural candles, compost toilets and didgeridoos; Tamberlaine Organic Wines from the Hunter Valley ( ‘Australia’s largest organic winery with vineyards in Orange and the Hunter’) and certified organic fair trade and possibly even edible underwear; Environmentally Friendly Family Planning in the next breath, whose placards asked ‘When will your fertility return?’ and ‘Want to achieve pregnancy NATURALLY?’; reiki and

body alignment techniques; earnest men kneeling on mats and the slogan ‘Understanding money allows you to have less stress, and it helps it flow more easily’ in the surprise exhibitor alcove of Financial Planning. Something for everybody indeed, all contained within a gentle atmosphere periodically studded with workshops, discussions and meditations – and not a plastic bag in sight.

Rainbow seeks funds Organisers of the Rainbow Bridge to Woodstock concert and fundraiser at Durrumbul Hall on July 4 would like to thank all the artists, performers and volunteers who contributed energy, time and money to make the event a success. Over $1000 was collected as donations. This will help pay to send Rainbow Dreaming, the photodocumentary on the alternative culture of the rainbow region, to Woodstock for the 40th anniversary in August; $1500 was also raised on the night towards the Mullum Soup Kitchen’s children’s Christmas appeal. Organisers now have less

than two weeks to raise the remaining $2500 needed. ‘We know we’re pushing it, but we’re confident that the community will rally around at the last minute and we’ll get this unique exhibit to Woodstock in time,’ said Harsha Prabhu, co-curator. You can help by making a donation to: Southern Cross Credit Union, BSB 802185, AC NO 134992, TF Rainbow Dreaming. All donations of $20 and over will be acknowledged. Tax deductible donations can also be made at the Byron Community Centre. A sample of the exhibit is at www.rainbowdreaming.org.

We’re open seven days a week from 8:00AM. Breakfast now available all day on weekends and til 1:00PM weekdays. Lunch served from noon til 3:00PM. Our new chefs have put together a tasty, affordable menu for winter. The fire will be blazing away on chilly mornings and there’s soulful music playing to warm your heart all day, everyday.

Byron YAC under new management In a landmark decision at an extraordinary meeting held Thursday June 18, Byron Shire Council resolved to hand over management of the Byron Youth Activity Centre (YAC) to Byron Youth Service (BYS). A one year sub-licence will be issued to BYS as an interim arrangement while BYS works with the Department of Lands to establish a Crown Reserve Trust over the building and amphitheatre to enshrine longterm community management of the facility. BYS Chairperson Sally Preston said, ‘This is a positive change for all involved, as it will enable the whole community to get behind the facility. We want to create the best youth activity centre for our young people, and believe that if it is community managed, then our community will pitch in to help make it fantastic!’ BYS will be honouring all previous bookings and planned activities, including Council’s new arts program, as well as seeking partners to support more after hours activities for young people at the YAC. Existing partners at the YAC, the Uncle Project and the Byron Community Campus, will remain a key part of YAC activities. Di Mahoney, recently appointed as the Director of BYS,

acknowledged the unanimous decision made by Byron Shire councillors, and is looking forward to working with young people, their families, local businesses and other community groups to develop the best YAC in Australia. Mayor Jan Barham said, ‘Young people across the Shire will benefit from the new partnership arrangement between Council and Byron Youth Service. Both organisations are committed to the youth of our area and the partnership will deliver diverse and engaging programs.’ Council’s community de-

velopment and projects officer Robyn Masters said, ‘With BYS now managing the building, our youth activities officer will have greater flexibility in delivering programs across the entire Shire. ‘Transport is a crucial issue for our youth and it can be hard to find transport into Byron to attend courses and events. ‘We are now focusing on delivering youth programs throughout the entire Shire which will make it easier for young people to attend and become involved. Our newly developed calendar of youth

events will remain on Council’s website until such time BYS has their own calendar and booking system in place.’ Existing bookings for the auditorium can be viewed at www.byron.nsw.gov.au/yac. In other news, BYS received additional funding last week after the Minister for Housing, Community Services & Indigenous Affairs, Jenny Macklin, decided to continue supporting youth enterprise projects in Byron Shire for a further twelve months.

Logging FOI From front page

impediments that the Department of Environment has put in the way of basic public accountability for their activities over the last two years. ‘Over that time period, they have approved 225,000 hectares of forest for logging. This represents an extensive and severe environmental impact, which has taken place under a veil of secrecy. ‘In nearly all cases there are no threatened species records and no requirement for threatened species surveys. The Department is clearly failing in its responsibility to protect the environment.’

The Mullumbimby Public School P&C has launched a major spruce-up of the school grounds. They tackled the first project last Saturday: the Infants playground. Twenty enthusiastic parents had a great time with mattocks, wheelbarrow and paintbrushes. Students pitched in too. Pictured are parents Horst and Amanda planting lomandras among fresh tea-tree mulch by the newly installed rainbow poles.

Local businessman wins national award Victoria Cosford

A local man was recently named top young entrepreneur for 2009 by Australian business website SmartCompany. Their second annual Hot 30 Under 30 awarded Nathan Aherne, pictured, the number one spot for his company Reddog Technology, the leading full service IT provider in the country. Nathan at 30 just scraped in. He established Reddog Technology in 2006 together with business partner Jason Rudolph to offer back-up, desktop and server solutions to all

workplaces. The company grew 600% last year and is currently on track for a 200% increase this year – not bad in the current economic climate. Describing himself as a

‘business analyst and a thinker’, Nathan has established an additional five trusts and companies, including investments in sustainable resources like forestry, intellectual property investment involving trademarks and patents and blue sky research. On top of everything else he is gradually taking over his parent’s 25-year old business, Byron Bay Building Materials; when questioned as to the connection between this operation and the world of IT he is quick to point out that they are both about the same thing, namely processes.

Performing arts magazine launched Victoria Cosford

A magazine aimed at performing artists and models was launched recently. The inspiration of Echo photojournalist Eve Jeffery, its name is MADAM, acronym for musicians, actors, dancers and models, and will provide a monthly forum for the exchange of information within the performing arts industry. In addition it seeks ‘to examine new and old products and innovative ideas in the market place and to explode many of the myths and risks involved in a career on the world stage.’ Eve Jeffery herself has a strong background in both

acting and singing so is well equipped to explore and showcase the world of performers. MADAM is available every month at the Ocean Shores

He works between 16 and 18 hours a day (‘It’s not work though’) and has somehow found time for relationships – his partner is expecting their child, due in two months’ time. And at the suggestion that he might be something of a renaissance man he laughs before admitting that he is good at neither sports (unlike his rugby union-playing brother Matthew) nor art. The challenge of building companies and organisations constitutes his creative outlet. Perhaps his greatest talent is that he makes it all sound so easy!

and the plant. ‘We are lucky to have active Jellybush growing here,’ says Michael. ‘It is excellent in promoting and maintaining good health. It is well known for its wound healing properties. In New Zealand, doctors use their local product, Manuka honey, routinely for all types of wounds – over there, your average GP will have a tube of this honey and will squeeze it straight onto to all types of cuts, burns and abrasions and we have the Australian Manuka grown right here in our shire.’

lems as it helps eliminate all types of bugs in the digestive system from one end to the other and has proven to be a relief for patients who suffer from mouth ulcers as a result of chemotherapy. ‘This is a natural product that not only has a great flavour, it is also effective for all types of health treatment. Jellybush is Australia’s answer to Manuka.’ Jellybush honey is available in local health food stores and for more information visit www.activejellybush.com.

Michael says that part of the reason for the honey’s successful healing properties is that it is effective against infections and super bugs. ‘The bugs can’t work out how to get around it. When you dress a wound with Jellybush honey, the bacteria go into stress overload as they are bombarded with the different properties of the honey. It has antibiotic properties. It works on so many different levels and the super bugs can’t develop a resistance.’ Michael says the honey is also helpful for digestive prob-

‘Joy XX’ by Toni Clarke

Michael Howes knows a lot about bees. For instance: European bees are the best pollinators and have a 1,200% higher pollination rate than other bees; a bee hive can have up to 60,000 bees buzzing about inside; and the honey that bees made from the Australian native plant Leptospermum, commonly known as Jellybush, has amazing healing properties. The Active Jellybush Honey collected locally, comes from Leptospermum trees found growing in the coastal forests from Tyagarah to Broadwater and like Manuka, its New Zealand relative, the activity and strength varies with the locality in which it is found. The strongest and most potent activity is found in North Eastern NSW. Jellybush gets its name from the thick, gel-like nature of the honey that the bees gather from Leptospermum flowers. Jellybush plants are known to produce a unique type of honey that not only has hydrogen peroxide releasing enzymes but also a special phytochemical property called the Unique Leptospermum Factor – ULF – not found in other honeys. Michael has been farming Jellybush honey commercially since 2000 and is a walking encyclopaedia about the insect

Year five Bruns Boys – Sahaji, Trent, Declan and Hadyn – look inside each other’s minds at the art show at the public school. Story & photo Eve Jeffery

Specialist art teacher Shari Askew enjoys teaching at Brunswick Heads Public School so much that she decided to celebrate with an art show. An exhibition was mounted and was open for a special viewing for parents, teachers and the other students last Thursday and proved very successful. Shari works with students

from Kindy through to year six and the show had a wide selection of pieces from all age groups. ‘The kids have been doing some really great work,’ said Shari. ‘Everybody has had a go and had fun making things for the show – it’s very exciting for them. We expect that quite a lot of the parents will come along and have a look at what the children have been doing.’ Art forms in the exhibi-

tion included printmaking, sculpture, painting, drawing, cartooning and mixed media. The Kindy room where the show was held was transformed into an explosion of colour and texture for the viewer’s enjoyment. The children through their work showed a wonderful capacity for colour, imagination and flair. Each of the seven years groups were represented

at the show and each child had a representation for viewing. Of particular interest was the wall covered with silhouette cut outs by the year five boys who filled their work with images of what goes on inside their heads – it seems that 11 year old lads think about skateboards, heavy metal music, Converse shoes, monsters with big teeth, superheros, fast cars and surprise, surprise: food.

Byron Bay public school hosts speaking finals Victoria Cosford

Byron Bay Public School recently played host to the finals of the Multicultural Perspectives Public Speaking Competition. It was also the first time that the school had entered the competition, which was introduced to NSW primary schools in 1996 with the aim of heightening awareness of multicultural issues while developing interest and skills in public speaking. Contestants, representing

primary schools across the region, were required to deliver two speeches: a 4-minute prepared one and a 2-minute impromptu one (with five minutes to prepare). Topics included Reconciliation and refugees, religions and beliefs, being bilingual and racism. Seniors from Byron Bay Primary School have had the great advantage of coaching by journalist Mick O’Regan throughout Term 2. It was a long day which started at 9.30am and ended

around 3pm, with Years 3 and 4 in the morning and Years 5 and 6 in the afternoon. Some read straight from their cards while others stared straight out at the audience, delivering clear and confident addresses. ‘Technology is especially important if you are a vet’, announced one little girl solemnly; another thought that ‘Australia is a lucky country because we are multicultural’. Announcing the Special Mentions, the Highly Commendeds and the overall win-

ner, adjudicator Louise Owen commented that in all her years of adjudicating it had been the best and most entertaining day she could remember. She hoped that the children would keep up the public speaking as ‘it will stand you in good stead throughout your lives.’ Winner was Azlan Currie from Brunswick Heads Primary School and Highly Commended were Cooper Cridland Hayes and Nami Burns, both from Byron Bay Primary School.

Garden designs underway Farewell service for Sarah A farewell service will be held at the St Martin’s Anglican Church in Stuart Street, Mullumbimby, on Tuesday July 14 to honour the extraordinary life of Sarah Ferguson. Aged 24, Sarah had accomplished more than many of her fellow contemporaries and she made a huge impact to the people in her life. Her sudden death on Monday July 6 came as a complete shock to many. All those who knew her are invited to come and pay tribute to her by bringing their goodbye letters to the church at 2pm. All condolences may be directed to Colleen Ferguson on 6619 0306.

From left, Geoff Lawton, Hunwi Howarth, Martin Hartmann, Jeannette Martin and Siobhan O’Reilly, discussing the community garden design.

Students in the Permaculture Research Institute July Permaculture Design Course travelled to Mullumbimby on July 4 with course instructor Geoff Lawton to participate in a site inspection of the Mullumbimby Community Garden site. Geoff Lawton, who has taught and consulted on Permaculture Design in many diverse locations locally and in the US, Middle East, Africa Europe and Vietnam, was invited by project coordinator Jeannette Martin to assist with the design of the gardens. Af-

ter walking the site, the supply of water quickly became the prime area of concern. The flat nature of the site makes storage of water in tanks a valuable asset but useful only for the supply of drinking water. Geoff was of the opinion that appropriate water harvesting earthworks on contour will mitigate the flood inundation of the site and moderate the site’s general hydrology. This will reduce the water demand throughout the dry periods. However it may be that in order to realise the full potential

of the site that a subsidised supply of town water be made available. Geoff will return to the gardens on Wednesday afternoon July 15 to survey the contours of the property. Members of the community interested in learning how this is done should attend the site (adjoining the Mullumbimby Tennis Courts) or contact Jennie Martin 66 84 4876 for more information.

Local lawyer offers free legal advice Story & photo Victoria Cosford

Free legal one-on-one conferences are currently being offered by a local solicitor. Eureka-based Jonathon de Vere Tyndall is making himself available at Newrybar’s Harvest Cafe for a series of Monday morning sessions to people who are experiencing serious problems such as bankruptcy or loss of home. With the recent release of figures on unemployment – the rate has risen again for the second month in a row, and is expected to keep rising – this immensely noble offer could not have come at a better time. Nor to a better place than the Far North Coast, with its dangerously high levels of single mothers and poverty in general. It is Jonathon’s ethos that ‘all clients, regardless of their background, activities or circumstances are entitled to fair treatment before the law.’ ‘There are people out there,’ he told The Echo, ‘with severe problems who might not real-

ise there’s a solution.’ He went on to talk about ‘a climate of fear [whereby] people are making decisions based on fear...’; it is these people he is anxious to assist in whatever way he deems appropriate. Prior to becoming a solicitor, Jonathon was a practising barrister for 16 years, both in the Hunter Valley (from whence he comes) and in Sydney. Over many years he has contributed to pro bono causes and to isolated or socially disadvantaged people who lack economic resources. He moved to Eureka three

years ago – ‘to take it a bit easier and to get into organic farming’ – the latter in which he had been involved in the Hunter. And yet the solicitor in him felt that there was more he could be doing and more he could give – and that he could create a sort of bridge over the gap between legal aid and the standard costly services of the average lawyer. Hence the idea of the pro bono, or free, legal conferences. And so, in the bucolic, unthreatening and private space which is the Harvest Café, he will conduct consultations with people who may have persuaded themselves that they are beyond help. The sessions commence at 10am and there are no appointments: it’s a mere matter of turning up. Jonathon told The Echo that he is very open to the notion of other professionals ‘coming on board’ – offering a hand in this venture. He can be contacted on 6688 2492 or 0439 651 813. His website is www. tyndall.net.au.

Nominations for membership to Byron Shire’s Youth Council are now open for young people aged between 12 and 21 years. According to Byron Shire Councillor Simon Richardson, Council is looking for young people who genuinely want to change young people’s experiences within the community. ‘It’s a chance for young people to be involved in youth issues, initiate projects, gain leadership skills and make a difference to their own community,’ Cr Richardson said. ‘Byron Shire Council is committed to helping young people have a greater say in our community and a chance to be part of Council’s decision-making processes.’ Council gave the go-ahead for the establishment of the Youth Council in June this year. A budget of $10,000 has been allocated to support

the Youth Council, to comprise ten to 15 members, to run projects targeting young people. Youth Council applicants must live in Byron Shire. The Youth Council model adopted was designed and recommended by young people in the Youth Think Tank consultations held at the end of last year. One of the participants from the Youth Think Tank, Finell McEwen, said the Youth Council will provide a means for passionate and like-minded young people to come together. ‘For young people who care about the environment and local community, the Youth Council will be a great way for us to have an input into decisions that affect us,’ he said. The Youth Think Tank consultations highlighted that young people and Council were united in wanting the

Youth Council to reflect the mix of youth cultures in our community. ‘We’re encouraging young people from different backgrounds, with different interests and ideas to consider nominating for this exciting new opportunity,’ Cr Richardson said. A selection panel involving local young people and Byron Shire Councillors Simon Richardson, Basil Cameron and Diane Woods will assess the applications. For further information, call Council’s Youth Development Officer Rita Youssef-Price on 6685 9342. Application forms can be downloaded from Council’s website at www.byron@ nsw.gov.au/youth-council or picked up from the local high schools. Applications close on Friday August 7. www.echo.net.au

Kevin remembers climate change Volume 24 #06

July 14, 2009

Sleeping rough The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare’s report ‘Counting the Homeless’ – download from www.aihw.gov. au/publications/index.cfm/title/10755 – paints a grim picture of the dispossessed in Australia. As several commentators have noted, the report is based on 2006 figures, so we can expect that the number of homeless has risen since the global financial crisis. According to the AIHW, there has been no progress in reducing the number of homeless since 1996. The number of homeless people on any given night in Australia has increased from 99,900 in 2001 to 105,000 in 2006 (on Census night count). In NSW 27,374 people were homeless, the highest number of any state or territory but one of the lowest rates of homelessness at 42 people per 10,000 population. The proportion of homeless people living in boarding houses (28%) in NSW is higher than the national figure of 20%. The higher regional rates of homelessness are the NSW coast (excluding Sydney) from the Tweed (81 per 10,000) to South Eastern NSW (65 per 10,000) compared to the national rate of 53 per 10,000. All up there were 4,428 homeless people in coastal NSW. Nationally, homelessness has increased for families (up by 17%), single adults (up 10%), older Australians aged 55 or older (up 30%) and young people aged 19 to 24 (up 4%). However, homelessness for teenagers on their own aged 12 to 18 has decreased by 20%, attributable to intervention services targeting this age group. It therefore seems to make sense that intervention groups should be established for other age groups – for example, the Catholic Community Services’ Housing Support Program (HSP) claims a high success rate in working with older people who are at risk of losing their tenancy and becoming homeless often due to cognitive impairment, mental health issues, squalor and lack of living skills. In the Richmond-Tweed region, about half of the homeless were rough sleepers. A census collector recorded ‘people in tents at the football ground, a man living in a car, and another living in a shed’. A local informant described ‘people with drug and alcohol issues ‌ who float around the community’. A third described ‘people camping in the sand dunes ‌ and sheltering under awnings’. Another informant talked about ‘unapproved sheds out in the backblocks’. Another talked about ‘dongas (shipping containers), tepees and shacks’ and another talked about ‘people in substandard dwellings, such as a caravan with a lean-to and a decrepit old shed’. All this is not new to Byron Shire residents, and the need to implement an affordable housing strategy and establish intervention groups is obvious. When and if these measures will happen is not so obvious. As report co-author David MacKenzie of the Institute of Social Research, Swinburne University, said, homelessness has ‘remained a serious social issue in Australia over the past decade, despite good economic times. And since the global financial crisis with rising unemployment and the high cost of housing, there will be further upward pressures.’

t must be something in the Italian mountain air, or perhaps just the presence of so much international media. But Kevin Rudd’s enthusiasm for the cause of climate change seems suddenly to have been revived. For most of the last year our previously energised prime minister has been prepared to let his great moral and economic challenge moulder away in the background; what were once urgent and imperative measures have been postponed and watered down as he seemed ready to surrender to the forces of selfinterest, short-sightedness, scepticism and sheer bloody ignorance. But last week the crusading Kevin07 re-emerged to take what the real heavies (Barack Obama, Gordon Brown and Al Gore) described as a leading role in the campaign. And as no less than 23 countries signed up to his clean coal initiative, along with more than 100 of the biggest and most fearsome multinationals, it was clear that climate change was once again to be front and centre, at least in the leadup to the vital Copenhagen conference. The problem is, of course, that time is running out and as Rudd was overheard to admit to his Danish counterpart, we are still not on track for any sort of meaningful global agreement at Copenhagen or anywhere else. Obviously the G8 meeting was not the place to reach one, however much the Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi expanded it to include as many of his mates as possible; the gap between the developed and

I

developing world can only be crossed when the principal players are all present in their own right. This will presumably happen at the G20 in September, which really does represent our last, best chance. But this is not to say that Rudd’s latest excursion was all bells, whistles and photo opportunities, enjoyable as these undoubtedly were. The fact that the

should be spending time and effort on adapting to it. If the most recent scientific data is right, this will prove impossible for many hundreds of millions of people, not to mention other species – unless, of course, tough action is taken. And the only way it is likely to be taken if Copenhagen can reach a consensus, which, as Rudd points out, is not looking too probable.

China and India are still playing hardball. They have made it clear that they will not forego any aspect of their own programs of industrialisation‌ by Mungo MacCallum conference could adopt a unanimous resolution to limit the overall temperature rise to just two degrees showed that there is modicum of goodwill there. Of course, in the absence of any concrete measures, the resolution could not even be described as ‘aspirational’; it was no more than a statement of a philosophical position. And in the absence of agreement from the developing nations, it is meaningless. But China and India are still playing hardball. They have made it clear that they will not forego any aspect of their own programs of industrialisation and that any cooperation in the reduction of global emissions will have to be funded by the West. And ominously, India is now hinting that the game is already pretty much over; rather than seeking to prevent or minimise climate change, we

But there are some signs of hope. Most of the G8 nations have signalled that, to break the impasse, they are prepared to increase their own targets at least for 2050; but more importantly, some are prepared to put their money where their mouth is. The initiative from Britain’s Gordon Brown, apparently endorsed by Rudd, for the developed world to put up $165 billion in a compensation package is a serious gesture, and if it can be on the table as a firm proposal for the G20 may just prove the ice-breaker that talkfest desperately needs. And with the big push for the Global Capture and Storage Institute, science just might produce the breakthrough we all so desperately need. The idea of clean coal is derided by the deep green lobby, and is certainly not an ideal solution to the more general environmental crisis. But given that

all the biggest polluters have made it clear that they are going to remain coal-dependent for many years to come, clean coal may be our only chance of bringing carbon emissions down to a manageable level before it is too late – if it isn’t already. Rudd has every right to be pleased with his latest essay into international affairs; it has been productive in every sense. But in one respect he has been unlucky. A month ago our Mandarin speaking leader with his extensive Chinese contacts would have been the obvious choice as an emissary from the developed bloc to China, to try and negotiate some sort of basis for both the G20 and Copenhagen. But now the unfortunate case of Stern Hu has made that kind of diplomacy impossible. It seems clear that if Hu had been engaged in any kind of espionage, it is the economic kind, which has always been acceptable in the West. In China, where industry is an integral part of the state, things are obviously more complex. The issue will require sensitive and serious handling; so has there ever been anything sillier that Malcolm Turnbull’s demand that Rudd pick up the phone to the Chinese President and demand Hu’s immediate release? ‘He’s one of us, he’s a fellow Australian,’ raved our alternative Prime Minister. Yes, Malcolm, but it’s not the 19th century any longer. China is a sovereign nation, a world power. So just what do you intend to do if the uppity heathens refuse to obey the white man’s legitimate orders? Send a gunboat?

Bangalow bypass prospects continue to excite ■ Tony Hart (Letters, July 7) in

writing about Council’s decision on the Bangalow bypass, acknowledges that ‘the core problem is excess traffic and associated noise on Granuaille and Bangalow Roads, and the St Helena Hill’ and then tells us this became ‘lost’ in the call for a southern bypass. Hardly, Tony; this is why we are need the bypass. Tony probably doesn’t know it but there have been many supposedly relevant traffic studies done in the past and none has led to a satisfactory outcome for Bangalow. The reasons he and his 2020 group oppose the only reliable way to rescue our ‘heritage’ village from its current role as a major traffic interchange escape me. Of course the noise amelioration measures he suggests sound soothing but they won’t solve the problem and I doubt the truckies would allow too much ‘traffic calming’ on their chosen route. And while the additional studies are undertaken – 10 years? 20? longer? – we continue to suffer 24,520 +

Safety free zone Sometimes I wonder what is happening to the perspective of safety in this great community. Not so long ago, my young sisters and I could safely cross the road on the corner of Fletcher and Lawson Streets. We were assured that the cars were travelling at a slow speed so that we could cross the road with ease. As Fletcher Street now has an added third lane, crossing the road has become much more dangerous. What was once a simple task of crossing the

traffic movements around (or over) our roundabout (Council Report, p99) with most of it continuing north or having come south along Granuaille Road, and a fair percentage of it heavy vehicles. We were promised a bypass back in the early 90s but the RTA delivered only the partial eastern one claiming, so they told me, they were short of funds. The traffic has built up enormously since then and the whole of Bangalow needs relief, particularly the residential sections of Lismore and Granuaille Roads. The RTA were pleased to announce in their study document that the towns of Alstonville and Wollongbar are expected to benefit greatly from their bypass and didn’t seem concerned about cost benefit; surely Bangalow deserves the same consideration. Jenny Coman

Bangalow The Editor and Fast Buck$ are right in complaining about the PA system in the Coun-

■

road has now become a game of ‘cat and mouse’. It has also come to my awareness that the left turning lane into Lawson Street is now a much more gentle turn. This is allowing cars, trucks and motorcycles to turn at a much higher and much more dangerous speed. Both of these points present a problem to all pedestrians, especially children. It is vital that we, as a community, get a pedestrian crossing across Fletcher Street near Lawson Street. Just imagine if an innocent young child shot out onto

cil Chamber – most speakers are barely audible in many parts of the chamber. All the microphone stems should be extended about 150mm and the Mayor equipped with a lapel mike – if not one on each shoulder for she has enviable movement in her neck! And I fully support Buck$ in his plea for improvements in the Public Access and public participation in Council meetings. At the meeting on July 2 the ‘debate’ on the RTA’s investigation into the Bangalow bypass proposal was opened with a resolution by Cr Cameron. Shortly, the Mayor made a heartfelt – but erroneous – plea for something to be done about the 25,000 vehicles per day using the roundabout at the Main Street/Lismore Road/ Granuaille Road junction. She then adjourned the meeting for lunch – but the debate and lobbying obviously continued away from public gaze through the lunch break. Thus, Cr Cameron, on post-prandial resumption, modified his resolution significantly, it was passed the road and you hit them? Wouldn’t you wish there had been a pedestrian crossing in place then?

and that was it. The real debate was not public. Had there been a decent, proper opportunity, from the public gallery we may have been able to correct the 25,000 figure – Cr Barham may well have been misled by the ‘ let’s spend $25 million and get $35 millions-worth of benefit’ lobbyists – to the correct one of less than half, around 12,400 (See RTA Investigation Fig 12) and observe that a good third of these are locals going about their legitimate ‘local’ business: work, kids to school. shopping, social, etc. We may also been able to seek to have aired the arguments that caused Cr Cameron to change his resolution.

THE

disparage plans for a southern bypass of Bangalow and St Helena (T Hart, Letters, July 7, and a supposedly unbiased report in the July edition of Bangalow’s Heartbeat). Tony Hart is not the voice of Bangalow – most of us who live here would appreciate less traffic and certainly less trucks, less noise and less pollution and a safer environment – not unreasonable under the current circumstances. It would be lovely to actually feel like I’m living in a country town. A southern bypass would allow Lismore Road traffic to avoid Bangalow, join the new highway via a flat road, and then go through the planned St Helena tunnel – which, after all the expense, will only be taking 40% of the traffic off the current St Helena hill. I live on Granuaille Road and daily observe that most traffic, and all huge trucking, coming in from the highway goes directly to Lismore. According to the RTA traffic report there are close to 8,000 vehicles daily on Granuaille and Lismore Roads,

and they estimate that the new motorway will only reduce this by 10% – hardly making a dent on these figures, which will climb steadily each year. A Canberra suburban street is only allowed approximately 4,000 vehicles per day – it’s called Environmental Capacity. It makes me wonder why we are expected to accept so much more traffic? Hart calls for Bangalow people to get together and seek ways, other than a bypass, to solve these problems. Certainly moves such as speed cameras to slow traffic would be welcome and should be pursued, but these large and growing traffic numbers, even at slower speeds, would still pollute our town with unacceptable levels of noise and poor air quality, and create safety concerns. The question is – why not a southern bypass? If Alstonville can be given a bypass on the grounds of resident amenity and not economics – why not Bangalow?

down that path though the sewage disposal controversy makes me wonder. Anything we view as waste will cost us; viewed as a resource it pays. Not only are compost dunnies good for you and your pocket

Another vision for Belongil Resisting ReGenesis

While the phrase ‘buyer beware’ is certainly applicable in the case of Belongil home owners, I agree with Jan Rae that Belongil residents should be allowed to protect their homes. Not however with confrontational rock walls which research and observation have shown to be ultimately damaging to the beach as a whole. I noticed with interest a couple of weeks ago that Keine Nombre also suggested that swale technology should be used to rectify the situation –

something I’ve been advocating for years. His suggestion that milk crates be used is not however a good one. We will have to get it into our heads that any beach replenishment scheme is going to be three steps forward and two back and there is a good chance that milk crates would be swept back into the sea during storm events. But it is all just pissing into the wind until the rockworks at Main Beach are modified. From my observation the finger-like underwater projections (two

part, right there. Once again, a problem presenting a wealth of opportunities. If they have to commute for a living, how is this different from any other dormitory suburb development commuting for everything, dependent on fuel and major road infrastructure? At its most sustainable intention and strategy, this development will require a substantial upgrade to the roads. Every degree the development moves away from that ideal will require further upgrades and, as we’ve been seeing, development gallops along upgraded roads. Suburban and semi-suburban development is not sustainable but it’s the only development model we have. Until we create a truly sustainable development model available to the wider community, the best we can hope for is ‘a little less environmentally damaging’ and regulators still think that’s a good idea.

If raising the price of cigarettes did indeed see people having to smoke less, this would mean less butts washing into the ocean and into the stomachs of our beautiful marine creatures. In effect then, smokers are being held more responsible for their environmental devastation on the world? Denise O’Connell-Cullen

Pushing barrows

Well, if you were ever sceptical about putting in submissions to Byron Shire Council the recent results of the more than 1,000 submissions on the holiday letting precinct proposals, and the council’s response to these submissions, should cure any of us wanting to write another submission to them ever again. Basically it’s a waste of time ! Of these over 1,000 submissions, with 84 per cent opposed to precincts, this council without any further Robin Harrison consultation has included anCoorabell other two new areas. Sort of

from memory) are the main barrier to the beach replenishing itself as they confront the current at right angles and consequently redirect the water flow and the sand it carries out to sea. The work of removing these would take much less time than the paperwork involved in Council passing its own DA and only a matter of a few days to replace them if there are unforeseen negative consequences.

â– I agree with my neighbor Janelle Essery’s letter in the July 7 Echo concerning ReGenesis, whose owner also claims in her June 30 letter: ‘it has always been my vision to create a living environment which complemented the existing community.’ My family owns the Main Arm General Store, CafĂŠ and Bottleo, which was originally established in Main Arm in 1946. Some might think that we would be supportive of the development proposed by ReGenesis and Davis, as it would bring hundreds of more people into the area, and would greatly increase the sales of our store. The truth is that we have opposed their plans from the beginning. Our family is third generation Main Armers. We have always wanted to bring up our three children in a quiet, rural environment, and this is much more important to us than making more money. The developers’ plans for 46 houses in suburban style subdivisions, including the eleven houses squeezed onto the very steep hill behind my house, would completely ruin the charming character of our

special hamlet. ReGenesis is proposing a commercial centre with eight shops in a huge concrete building immediately behind our house, literally in my backyard. The noise impacts will be unbearable. There is no need or desire from the locals for a shopping centre with a cafÊ in Main Arm. I can’t see how ReGenesis can in all honesty say their development will complement the existing community. If Council approves this unwanted development, our lives and the lives of the rest of the community will never be the same. Marianne Dichiera

Main Arm While one may respect that Mike Davis, Elaine Seiler of ReGenesis, and their team of specialists have spent many hours trying to hatch their development schemes in Main Arm, one has to wonder if they ever did their due diligence to determine if their lands were indeed suitable, in a geophysical sense, for the developments they ended up proposing. Did they even look at the Byron Rural Settlement Strategy be-

â–

fore they launched into this? One may also wonder, why did Council ‘invite’ them to develop their lands in the first place? The BRSS and Council maps clearly show that their lands are too steep, bushfireprone, flood-prone, isolated, and otherwise problematic for the size and scale of the plans these would-be developers have put forth. Is it possible they missed it? It’s all in the BRSS – such lands are not to be developed as new Community Title subdivisions. What accounts for such grand scale failures of evaluation? Let’s face the facts, the real and incontrovertible facts, that the lands in Main Arm presently being considered for development are inescapably inappropriate. Please, Councillors, look deeply into their DAs, and consider the significant negative impacts the proposed developments would have on our community and the environment. Don’t just accept their sweettalk at face value. Please reject these DAs. Byron Shire will thank you for years to come. Doug Self

News from the neighbours Since the bipartisan passage of the Motor Sports (World Rally Championship) Bill through State Parliament a fortnight ago, Tweed and Kyogle residents have been feeling the pain a big whack of realpolitik can inflict. The Act has suspended all state laws that would normally be brought to bear on such an event, giving Rally Australia free rein to impose this celebration of speed, big business and fossil fuel on our human and natural communities. We were told to wait for a DA that was never lodged to express our concerns, and continue to be lied to by the organisers and to have our hundreds of letters fobbed off by every level of government. The State and local taxpayer subsidy of this event is insult on insult on injury, not to mention the presence of Tweed Council GM Mike Rayner on the rally board and his continuing refusal to

resign. Many Byron residents will remember their feelings of anger and powerlessness over Max Eastcott’s misuse of his GM role. We should all be concerned about the misuse of special legislation by the NSW government and all that it reveals about how democracy is really working here. Beyond that, this nightmare affects our whole region. The rally will promote our ‘green cauldron’ to the world as a petrolhead destination, not as a vibrant alternative community with the richest biodiversity in the country. Deep divisions are emerging among locals due to distorted claims by RA about the benefits the rally will bring. Many people still don’t know that the streets of Murwillumbah will be closed for high speed racing through the town three nights in a row – not to mention the number of stages that run through nation-

al parks and will have a huge impact on local wildlife if run each second spring for 20 years as planned. Tweed Shire is the buffer zone between Byron and the Gold Coast. This outrage affects us all. Your neighbours to the north and west need your support. This region has a proud past and present of resisting inappropriate development, and if ever a grassroots cause needed to stand up against a direct chain of local, state, federal and international misuse of power, this is it. Please go to the No Rally Group’s website and sign the petition against the rally. Read the background briefing on the site. We will be reaching out for help ahead of the weekend of September 3-6. Stay tuned: www.petitiononline.com/NRG01e/petition. html and http://sites.google. com/site/norallygroup/.

Footy gets a good name at writersfest The Byron Bay Writers Festival 2009 has kicked a goal with the participation of two veteran men of letters to the Marquee program. Between them, Tom Keneally and Roy Masters have notched up six decades of books and writing, but authorship’s not all they have in common. The Byron Bay Writers Festival offers audiences the chance to bask in the memories and musings of these eloquent, entertaining men as they combine in the Macquarie Marquee at 3pm on Saturday August 8 for Masters Of Their Game: a passion for sport and writing. Colin Bowles, prolific author and ex professional soccer player, will chair, but it’s a safe bet that the code of football under fierce discussion will be rugby league. Tom Keneally is the number one ticket holder for the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles and is adamant that his love of football is as vibrant and intense as his love of writing and in fact he claims that sport sits comfortably amid the arts. Many will remember that in 1999, Keneally became the face, and indeed the voice, of rugby league, following in the wake of Jimmy Barnes and Tina Turner, with his Ode to Rugby League resounding with the cry, Blow the whistle, ref! Heroism is a recurring theme in his writing, fiction and non-fiction and Keneally believes that the man in the stand at a football match is living vicariously through and identifying with the glorious players on the field. His Ode and television commercial focused on the heart and soul of rugby league, rather than the meat and boof flavouring

previous campaigns. Roy Masters has had a lifetime’s involvement with rugby league, as player, first grade coach and ultimately writer. He was St George’s longest standing coach and in 2004 was named Western Suburbs’ Coach of the Century. For over twenty years Masters has written about sport for The Sydney Morning Herald and all with a passion for the game would attest that there is no greater rugby league writer and analyst in the land. Masters is currently completing a book on

the great philosophical issues of sport and one imagines that he and Keneally will find much to celebrate and explore from this perspective. Byron Bay Writers Festival three-day passes will give access to this and more than ninety sessions, conversations and panel discussions from August Friday 7 to Sunday 9. If time’s an issue, a Saturday pass is also available. Bookings essential at www.byronbaywritersfestival.com and Jetset Byron Bay on 6685 6262. Join the scrum!

Models sought for Voyeur, a local fashion initiative The team behind Byron’s newest fashion event Voyeur are seeking aspiring models to strut their stuff on the catwalk on September 12. ‘As an event which is largely coordinated by the designers we’re looking for a variety of looks,’ said Voyeur’s coordinator Mark Harlow (pictured right with Ashley Geoghegan from Byron Bay Model Management. ‘From a designer’s perspective a good model isn’t just about looks and dress size.

We’re hoping to find men and women who are expressive, fun-filled, bright-eyed and adventurous.’ In preparation for the event the selected models will be coached in all aspects of modelling with a focus on runway presentation. ‘Aspiring models will get to experience fashion at its niche. We’re aiming to fulfil the desires of both designers and models, said Mark. As well as working in the creative collective driving Voyeur, ron Bay Model Management is Ashley said, ‘I’m providing free Ashley Geoghegan from By- proudly sponsoring the event. training sessions hosted by in-

Community centre local discounts You don’t need the budget of a Broadway production to use the Byron Community Centre theatre, thanks to the recent introduction of the Centre’s special local rates for venue hire. A key feature of the new price structure is the heavily discounted local deal for hire of the 246 seat theatre, which can be used for performances, film screenings, workshops and conferences. Launched this month, the venue hire packages aim to entice local residents and community groups from Byron, Ballina, Lismore and the Tweed regions to take advantage of the Centre’s facilities. Usually valued at $790, locals receive a standard theatre package for only $540. This includes six hours theatre hire, four hours of technician staff time, front of house staff including ushers and the availability of food and beverages for patrons. In addition, the package offers promotional opportunities such as listings on the Centre’s website, online newsletter and in the Echo advertisement. A ‘no frills’ hourly rate is also available for those wanting to simply hire the space. Venue coordinator Becky Buckwell says the discounted local rate is ‘extremely generous, considering the theatre’s quality fittings and modern technology including a bio-box, LCD projector and exceptional light and sound equipment. This versatile facility has hosted over 500 events, ranging from local productions to performances from renowned national and international artists.’ Becky Buckwell hopes the special hire rates will position the theatre as a more cost effective and attractive option for local residents. ‘By launching these discounted rates we want to encourage locals to use this premier facility. We are lucky to have such diverse and talented people in Byron, introducing the local rates is one way we can help people to showcase and share their talent. And by using the theatre, you’re not just helping the Community Centre, you’re helping the community.’ For more information on hire rates, visit www.byroncentre.com.au or email venue@ byroncentre.com.au. www.echo.net.au

A turtle’s plans go haywire on our marine debris than footprints in the sand, what have we become? At worst vandals, at best slobs? Don’t stop wondering: what ethics apply when we pick equipment for commercial fishing? And what do we become when we overfish and stocks collapse? When we don’t use turtle excluders or other measures to avoid catching other ‘non target’ species? When we buy fish without a thought to how they are caught?

Story & photo Mary Gardner

At Ballina’s Seabird Rescue Centre, Keith gently pulled out 200mm of the fishing line from the big turtle’s mouth before it jammed. Though an X ray proved there was no hook at the end, the line was clenched deep inside. The creature gagged a little and Keith eased the line, snipping it just inside the mouth. The team fed the animal a dose of paraffin, in hopes that the line might pass through the gut. A week later, Rochelle tells me the turtle is neither feeding nor defecating. As it can manage a month without eating, all the staff can do is wait and see. This story and photo may alarm or sadden you. Stop with me and gawk at this ‘unintended consequence’. What really happens when we get into action seems to be the punchline of a tragic-comic mix-up. Fishing with monofilament plastic line may be easy, cheap to buy and help us land a fish. But when we lose that line, it continues ‘fishing’ for the 600 years the material exists without degrading. Not what we meant to happen. Now, from her experience, Rochelle suggests that the line that caught this turtle was quite likely baited and still attached to rod and reel. Maybe the fishers still don’t know quite why the line broke. Or perhaps they reeled in the ‘big one’ till they could see it was an illegal catch. Cutting the line releases them from what they didn’t plan to do anyway.

Indigestible Either way, the reality for the turtle is the same. Indigestible plastic line clogs its gut, starving the animal that can never eat enough or digest properly. Sometimes, it may pass out of the gut. But not every time. None of this is according to any plan. The 100 million year old plan was for turtles to continue as they do, munching food and swimming the seas. The 70 years since the DuPont Company created nylon line show us one more way our plans go haywire. There are dozens of examples of our plans which were never meant to but go very badly anyway. So often this means animals get hurt, plants are destroyed or habitats ruined. Here we are in the midst of what 70% of biologists identify as a mass extinction event and a global crisis in ecosystem degradation. Whatever are we thinking? Robert K Merton (19102003) was a sociologist who explained that for any one cause, there are side effects. Often these are more significant than www.echo.net.au

Other ways

the intended ones. He listed several reasons for this: human ignorance, human error and immediate interests, overriding long term interests. Since Merton published this list in 1936, we have grown

our attitudes in such a way that we lose something else even as we catch fish? This last April in Genoa was the Slow Fish Festival, part of the Slow Food Movement to ‘educate, promote and protect’

Instead of grabbing for the biggest, the most or the trophy goods, we can value the intricacies of honest membership in community. Imagine a fishing trip when we use locally made recyclable gear to catch a few middle-sized fish. We release the larger ones, the better breeders which will reproduce so well next season. Then we quietly check up on the local turtles. There’s the one with an ID tag Z465 who was injured once on gear from more barbaric times. It took a long time to heal and became accustomed to being close to humans. It swims up to the surface and looks steadily at us before diving down back into its own dream.

Before shame paralyzes us, there must be other ways. As Brian Swimme urges, let’s turn our plans and all their consequences from degrading ones to enhancing ones. How about we think in terms of lifecycles ■ Mary Gardner is a writer, biissues. The organisers say that of products and select tools ologist and tutor, See more at although political decisions which match our ethics? www.mgardner.info. help, nothing works ‘if we are lazy.’ So are there ethics to fishing?

The Australian Marine Conservation Society is ‘proud to offer responsible seafood eaters Australia’s first national guide to choosing sustainable seafood. The Guide has been developed in response to growing public concern for our oceans and helps you make a responsible seafood choice. Overfishing, destructive fishing gear and poor aquaculture practices impact significantly on our marine wildlife such as dolphins, sharks and turtles, as well as on marine habitats like coral reefs, seagrass meadows and kelp forests. Three quarters of the world’s oceans are officially over-exploited or fished right up to their limit. If you care about our oceans and are worried about the seafood you eat, then this is the guide for you.’ See more at www.marineconservation.org.au. more savvy to these reasons. If ignorance and error made marine plastic debris such a life threatening situation, then knowing and changing actions should fix things up, shouldn’t it? There are containers for collecting old line placed at fishing spots and portable containers fishers can use anywhere. There is Bioline, a biodegradable line which weakens in a year and dissolves within five. Would these changes do the trick? Can we realign our efforts and take aim again?

Real values Merton mentions more reasons for derailments. The world is so complex. And we can hold basic values which work against us in the short term. But what values are these? Paul Erhlich suggests we think through what a technology does to us and the systems we live in instead of concentrating on what it does for us. What happens when we have lots of cheap string stronger than steel? We don’t see it as precious. We don’t conserve it. If it gets away on us, we don’t chase after it. Has this technology changed

the simple pleasures of seafood. From around the world came people of small fishing communities representing artisan skills in the catch and preparation of fish. Fishing methods and habitat protection were big

Ex students join up More than 1200 ex-students have been invited to join the recently formed Mullumbimby High School Ex-Students Association. President of the Association Neville Marks said this was a great effort by committee members who had used the internet to make the contacts. ‘The worldwide web provides a great resource for this organisation,’ Mr Marks said, ‘because ex-students are scattered all over the world. It will be the main means of staying in touch with each other.’ The High School website is another source of information about the association which this week added a page to the

School’s ‘Our Community’ menu. ‘Thanks to the co-operation and help of school staff, we will be able to keep everyone up to date with what is happening in the organisation, including social functions like the breakfast we are holding on August 3 followed by attendance at the special NAIDOC assembly at the school,’ said Mr Marks. The Association has adopted a project to help the school acquire an electronic lectern for the John Pearce Auditorium to help improve the audio visual presentations held there. More information is available from the Secretary Robyn Gray on 6688 4356.

Rees hasn’t got the bottle on water, says Cohen

www.echo.net.au

for the mess, mostly through council rates. By jumping on the bandwagon being drawn by the sensible people of Bundanoon, Premier Rees is trying to score an environmental point – it would be funny if he wasn’t in such negative carbon credit. ‘The Premier has responded – with about one minute’s thought – to the real public concern about the damage that drink bottles are doing to the environment and about the mountains of unnecessary waste. Australians spend roughly $385 million on 250 million litres of bottled water year and only a third of these get recycled. Every five bottles takes one litre of crude oil to make. ‘Less than a month ago, both

the Labor government and the Opposition voted to oppose my Private Member’s Bill that would have given NSW a complete container recycling scheme – for all drink bottles and recyclable containers along the lines of South Australia’s scheme. ‘The government threw away a $33.8 million income stream from the recycling market. They voted against reducing fossil fuel consumption, substantially reducing rubbish on our streets, beaches and parks, slashing council rates, providing consumers with an easy incentive to recycle, and creating hundreds of green jobs. ‘The Bill was a no-brainer for popular appeal and an easy fix for the environment. Consumers would get a ten cent

return on their containers. The Bundanoon ban shows that people are crying out for action on waste. ‘We are five years away from the proposed NSW Waste Recovery target for a 66% increase in recycling by 2014. From 2002 to 2008 in NSW it increased by only 2%. In South Australia the recycling rate is over 80% compared with the NSW rate of less than 40%. ‘Premier Rees’s attentiongrabbing gesture makes a mockery of the people of Bundanoon who have taken decisive action against environmental degradation. As we can see from his recent actions, the Premier is not doing anything serious about water and waste or to curb the excesses of the bottling industry and their lobbyists.’

8284BSE

According to Green s MP Ian Cohen, ‘The bread and circuses approach to running the State has reached a new low with Premier Rees announcing a ban on bottled water in government departments. As Minister for Water, Nathan Rees didn’t bat an eyelid when the community at Peat’s Ridge objected to Coca Cola/Amatil extracting 66 million litres of water from Mangrove Mountain. The company paid the NSW goverment $200 for a water extraction licence and are now selling it in plastic bottles for more than $10 million a year. ‘We’ve sold a public asset, for a token amount and now the Premier has made a token gesture in response – and it’s the public who has to pay

Fine words for a nation suspicious of speechifying Well May We Say … The Speeches that Made Australia. Edited by Sally Warhaft. Black Inc. RRP $34.95 Mungo MacCallum

Australians, as Sally Warhaft is the first to admit, do not generally go in for speechifying. ‘Fine words’ is a term of suspicion, and ‘rhetoric’ is usually regarded as empty. But like it or not, speeches make up a very significant part of our public life and some have lasting and profound consequences. They are part of our history and worth recording as such. The problem, of course, is in deciding what is important and what isn’t, and this opens up a huge area of disputation. Warhaft has subtitled her selection ‘The speeches that made Australia’, a claim which raises expectations of a collection of inspirational oratory performed with the specific aim of nation building. But what she in fact delivers is something considerably more eclectic, ranging from a single word of exhortation (Peter Lalor’s cry of ‘Liberty’ at the Eureka stockade) to a 15 page autobiographical essay (Robert Manne’s 2001 Deakin lecture). Both, perhaps, contributed in some indirect way to the making of

today’s Australia, but it is hard to see them as part of a coherent narrative. Perhaps to avoid this charge, Warhaft has divided the book into sections, some of which clearly overlap. Thus we have The Nation, Australia at War, Politics, Great Debates, Indigenous Affairs, Attacks, Scandals and Controversies, Ideas and Inspiration, Openings and Commencements and Last Words and Farewells. Each section is arranged chronologically, which can lead to some revealing juxtapositions; for instance, Malcolm Fraser’s ‘Life wasn’t meant to be easy’ precedes Tom Hafey’s ‘Kevin (Sheedy), you’re too slow to do all this finessin’’ in Ideas and Inspirations. But again, it is what it left out that tends to jar. The Nation predictably opens with Henry Parkes, but not his Tenterfield speech which started the federation process; instead, we have his address to a Melbourne Banquet which, while summing up the case, is rather less important as part of history. Then there is Alfred Deakin at his most flowery; but it could be argued that a more persuasive argument for the masses came from the delegate who promised: ‘Gentlemen if you vote for the bill you will found a great nation under the Southern Cross and

Author Sally Warhaft.

meat will be cheaper; and you will live to see the Australian race dominate the southern seas and you will have a market for both potatoes and apples.’ Regrettably, he does not get a guernsey. Warhaft often seems torn between her affection for elegant prose and her judgement of what actually changed things. For instance, the sci-

entist Herbert Gepp’s 1937 plea for more attention to education (‘We are still comparatively in the wilderness’) is undoubtedly a masterly display of eloquence, but was it more significant than John Howard’s chilling declaration of 2001, ‘We will decide who comes to this country and the circumstances in which they come’, which does not

make the grade. It could be argued that this was not really a speech, but the same could be said of Gough Whitlam’s 1975 denunciation ‘Well may we say God save the Queen because nothing will save the governor-general’, which is not only included but gives the book its title. Incidentally Whitlam’s 1972 ‘It’s Time’ campaign speech is here, but not his 1974 eulogy for John Curtin, which I still consider his finest address. Similarly Paul Keating gets a run with his 1992 Redfern Park speech, as he should, but not with his equally moving inauguration of the tomb of the unknown Australian soldier. And surprisingly none of his searing parliamentary attacks, which so outraged the opposition and delighted his followers, is included. Indeed, the collection as a whole is fairly light on the kind of rough and tumble which has distinguished Australian politics; apart from David Deniehy’s ridicule of William Charles Wentworth’s proposal for an Australian peerage, a couple of cracks from Billy Hughes and one of Fred Daly’s better efforts, Australians are portrayed as a pretty staid lot. Yet it could be argued that one of the characteristics that truly made Australia was a general distaste for pomposity and a

lack of reverence towards the serious business of politics. In one of the shorter entries we are indeed given the last words of the speaker Sir Frederick Holder, who collapsed during a rowdy debate in 1909, uttering the condemnation ‘Dreadful, dreadful’ before his sudden death. Warhaft notes that he was the only member of either house to die in the Australian parliament; but this is wrong. In 1967 Senator Douglas Hannaford emulated the feat, but with less ceremony. He was carried out of the chamber and efforts made to resuscitate him, but a fellow senator, a medico named Felix Dittmer, pronounced the verdict: ‘No point in that, poor bugger’s dead’, and retired to the bar. Unfortunately this poignant offering also fails to find a place in Warhaft’s compendium. However, much that is good and useful does; although most aficionados will have their reservations about the selection process, few if any will not see it as a valuable and necessary addition to their shelves. And of course, it will need regular updating. A must for the next edition will be Kevin Rudd’s apology speech, a reminder that sublime oratory can occasionally come from the most unlikely sources.

Local author illumines generations touched by the cruel hand of war Victoria Cosford

The Ghost at the Wedding tells the story – or perhaps stories – of one family across three generations and two world wars. It is a a war memoir which could typify the experiences of countless other families whose lives were touched and forever

altered by World Wars I and II. Author Shirley Walker has drawn on the hundreds of letters, stories, diaries and other material left behind by her mother-in-law, Jessie, to create a beautifully moving account of not only the men who went to war but also the women they left behind. It is non-judgmen-

tal, compassionate and spare writing told from a woman’s point of view and studded with gloriously evocative prose in her descriptions of the Clarence region, background to much of the narrative. In a conversation with Shirley I comment on the absence of a ‘happy outcome’, with which she disagrees. ‘The fact that Jessie survived it all and travelled the world’ is proof enough that it did not end bleakly, she tells me. And then there were her paintings and the redemptive nature of art. ‘In art,’ Shirley says, ‘and through producing art a person can explore an emotional experience that people like her [Jessie] could never do in words... she was a taciturn person, never beginning a sentence with “I felt”...’ Shirley was left, once Jessie had died, with a whole chestdrawer filled with diaries and medals and old letters from soldiers: it was ‘as if,’ she tells me ‘she was keeping it all for me to write the book.’ In fact, Shirley goes on to say, ‘It was as if she was standing behind my shoulder throughout the entire process.’ Shirley Walker – or more correctly Dr Shirley Walker – grew up firstly in The Channon, then Byron Bay, then

Grafton; it was when she was teaching at Grafton Primary School that she met and fell in love with one of Jessie’s sons and duly married him. She says that ‘the experience of land-

scapes of such amazing sensual beauty [as the Northern Rivers] has, I’m sure, had a major influence on my writing.’ At age 38 she embarked upon an academic career, en-

rolling in a BA degree externally with the University of New England and going on to win university scholarships and medals. She specialised in the writing of Judith Wright and ‘the whole lot of philosophical thinking behind her poetry’; she taught Australian Literature at UNE until a retirement she decided to ignore by teaching a course on Australian Women Writers in Spain; she has had innumerable articles, reviews, book chapters, edited collections and academic books published. In 2000 her memoir Roundabout at Bangalow was published by UQP, much to her surprise as she ‘wrote it for fun and for my own satisfaction...’ That book was shortlisted for the 2002 Adelaide Festival National Award for NonFiction, the Westfield/Waverly Library Award for Research in Literature and The Vision Australia Library Award for the best Adult Audio Book of the Year. I ask Shirley if she is planning another book and she says No – although perhaps this space could be watched! A Ghost at the Wedding will be launched at the Byron Bay Writers Festival on Friday August 7 at 11.30am. www.echo.net.au

A L L YO U R C OA STA L E N T E RTA I N M E N T TOMMY DEAN

JULY 14 – 20

9E88 DOUBLE PASS TO TOMMY DEAN

We have a double pass to see American standup comedian Tommy Dean at the Byron Services Club on Monday 10 August. Tommy is a regular on the international circuit and a favourite of the Melbourne Comedy Festival. This will be his first time in Byron. Email gigs@echo. net.au with subject header‌ ‘Off to see the Dean’.

I have always been in awe of the music of Vince Jones. I remember the first time I heard his trademark voice and I argued for hours over whether it was a man or a woman. His voice has that otherworldly quality that has seen him at the top of his game for nearly four decades. Vince Jones is the best jazz singer in the country. Although he doesn’t see himself quite like that. Vince doesn’t even see himself as a jazz singer. ‘I wouldn’t even call myself a jazz singer although I can‌ I went into the feel side of jazz – I like to impart a feeling to the individual listener. I like to take the opportunity of finding some way of expressing the lyric and the melody, I like the pure kind of emotion in a song. There aren’t many singers that think that way, usually they are just looking for the energy of it. I am doing both. It’s something you get better at. I don’t sit down and premeditate the emotion. I try and get inside it. I don’t practise singing emotion, I try and let the moment go and get inside the lyric of the song. I have good technique and it’s getting better as I get older. It is becoming a facility rather than an overbearing approach. When I sing a note you can hear there’s more in there.’ With age, Vince has learnt the truth in the adage, that less is more. Vince is refreshingly unaffected, living most of the time on the South Coast. ‘I like living on a farm. I have a greenhouse and an orchard and lots of animals, I love wild animals. The time off I have in the city I don’t enjoy so much, its a very high price to pay but most of my gigs are interstate. It is the nature of being a musician. I have been playing for 35 years and touring since I was 18.’ Vince has an ascetic approach to his craft, where music is both the ends and the means. He has never milked the corporate cow for a bucket of milk. ‘I find music sacred. I don’t think we should demoralise or denigrate it in any way. I don’t do any corporate work or ads and I don’t do any gigs other than public gigs, no private gigs, I have a purely public band. I don’t stick to success or fame, my ambition was and

still is, to play music to people that will wash over them and nourish them. I don’t want it to be about me, the rock industry is about marketing the artist and music through that. My approach was an experiment to see what would happen and I have to say it’s not that successful!’ It’s not surprising that Vince may have become a little disappointed in the music industry. ‘The music we should try and create are the Bachs and Ravels, we could do it, but because there is so much pressure, there might not be a bibliography of great music into the future. They talk about globalisation and googleisation, there’s these big companies buying up little companies, first company I signed to was Chapel Music owned by Cole Porter, and I was signed to EMI and they were run by individuals, by lovers of the music, now record companies are run by bean counters looking for unit sales, where are the creative artistic directors that were there during 40’s 50’s and even 70’s?’ This year Vince had a reunion gig with the band members that played with him over the last 15 – 20 years. It was a momentous experience for this band leader who had inspired so many careers. ‘Initially I thought they were going to roast me,’ he laughed. ‘I apologised to them all individually. I was a hard task master. It’s an obligation of mine to excite the players so I can get the best out of them, rather than them going into auto pilot. It’s a life’s work. If I hassle them then thats’ all I get and that’s boring, but if you inspire them‌’ Vince Jones is a career musician still on his own creative journey. ‘I don’t want to reach the peak. I don’t want to get there‌ I feel like if I do then I’ll die.’ Don’t miss this rare chance to share an intimate evening with one of the true legends of the Australian music scene at the Byron Community Centre on Friday and Saturday. Tickets $28 on sale at BBCC: 6685 6807, All Music & Vision Stores and Mullum Book Store. Or online at www.mullummusicfestival.com

release of 60,000 tonnes of greenhouse gas. Last year we spent $500 million on bottled water in Australia alone. That’s ridiculous. Whatever happened to the good old bubbler? The communal drinking fountain was a place where people and pigeons could come together. In fact, when bent over a bubbler, the bobbing head of the average water drinker does make him or her appear not dissimilar to the aforementioned winged rat. We don’t need to buy water. In a country like Australia, where we have such strict rules re public health, bottled water is no better for you than drinking tap. At least with tap water you know what you are getting. Some of those bottled waters are coming in from India, Taiwan, and Indonesia. These places have some of the most dodgy water in the world and here we are paying for it. In a world on the brink of environmental disaster what the hell are we doing buying bottled water? It takes 9 litres of water to make 1 litre of pretty packaged bottled water. Then there’s the travel. Transporting a container load of bottled water is as environmentally irresponsible as transporting a container load of air. It’s idiocy. As long as you are within a few hundred metres of a tap, then it’s your responsibility to ban the bottle. It’s amazing how simple it is to hold a cup under a faucet. You might need to retrain yourself if it’s been some time. But after filling the cup, all you need

to do is then lift it to your lips and swallow. It may take some practice. Now if you are going out on a family picnic, or maybe for a workout at the gym, this is what you do. Wait for it. Fill up a re-usable bottle at home. Yes I know. It’s confronting. How healthy can water out of a daggy old container be? The biggest supplier of water in Australia is Coca Cola and we know what health boffins they are. The great thing about not drinking bottled water is that it doesn’t cost anything. Most environmentally friendly choices end up costing double and still involve consumption. Drinking tap is about using a resource that is already there. If you’re an antifluoride, anti-chlorine kind paranoic, then add a water filter, but basically it’s time we all did our bit to reduce greenhouse gases. Time to ban the bottle and take up tap. NSW Parliament have just done it. So why don’t we?

Come on, why don’t we put our lips to our politics and prove we really are the green shire? Let’s use our years of tantric training to do something environmentally responsible. Let’s turn on the tap.

MI DO SS N’T OU T

When it comes to climate change, it can feel like the average individual just can’t make a difference. Sure I buy my $7 lightbulbs and bask in the smugness of the unsettling bluish glow while the poor sit huddled in a darkened room lit only by the red burn of the Horizon 50. Sure I take my designer silk eco bag that cost $10 to my organic produce store and I only dress my baby in organic cotton. Sure I’m making better choices, albeit, very middle class ones, but I am still consuming. Instead of buying cheap mass produced environmentally unfriendly products I purchase expensive products with a global conscience. There must be simple measures where we can all cut back and make a significant difference otherwise, to put it scientifically, like amoeba in a petrie dish, we’re rooted. If we view a carbon audit similarly to a household budget where it’s revealed one is living beyond one’s means, then surely there’s a few things we can remove. And it’s stuff we can do now. The NSW Southern Highland’s town of Bundanoon has done just that. They’ve put a town wide ban on the sale and consumption of bottled water, under the rather catchy slogan ‘Bundy on Tap’. They believe, and quite rightly, that the booming business of bottled water sales is less about health and more about marketing. In 2006 it was revealed that bottled water caused the

and legendary piece of sound equipment. The result is a powerful and addictive album that touches on a panorama of moods, tempos and lyrical messages. Ocean Sounds covers a lot of territory, reflecting the original sounds of authentic Virgin Islands reggae. This groundbreaking collection of songs delivers a powerful message and rhythmic variations that range from the hard-edged scatting rap and dancehall style of Long Road to the deep roots reggae grooves and intense lyrics of Hold On, the driving ‘steppers’ rhythms of love song Tell You What and the epic, anthemlike track Are You. Heavy bass lines are balanced by beautiful three-part harmonies, eclectic jazz infusions, a talented horn section and traditional reggae keyboard ‘bubbling’.

More recently he directed the opening night of theatre for the Byron Bay Writers Festival in 2007 with Thank Heavens You’re in Byron scripted by Mandy Nolan.

Producer Suzie Mylecharane started her work in the theatre, designing the costumes for the original Harry M. Miller production of Hair in1969. She moved to the North Coast in 1974 (an early sea change) and continued her career in clothing design for fashion shops both in Australia and overseas. Until she sold last year, Suzie was the director of Ku Promotions, the music event company she started on the North Coast over 22 years ago. Through music she has presented some of the best known Australian and international artists both in our shire and touring Australia wide.

The Byron Shire Echo July 14, 2009 25

Television Guide 1. Al Pacino and Robin Williams come to grips in the excellent Hitchcockesque thriller Insomnia (Prime, Friday, 8.30pm). 2. ABC2 continues its fascination with the young Katherine Hepburn in the 1936 flick Mary of Scotland on Saturday at 8.30pm. It was a dangerous time to be in line to the throne, especially if your father’s first cousin is Elizabeth I of England. 3. Piping macaroons can be hell. People who like to watch other people play with food will be glued to the screen for the Masterchef Australia Finale (TEN, Sunday, 7.30pm). The heights of sitophilia were scaled in the 1963 film Tom Jones – expect none of that here.

The kid has no Hebrew or English, but with patience and perseverance and, most conveniently, the help of Mati, a childhood sweetheart who has grown up to be a handsome fellow who happens to speak fluent Mandarin, Miri and her sister Gila begin to communicate and form a bond with the boy, to whom they give the pet name of Noodle. Learning that his mother has been deported back to Beijing, the girls hatch a precarious plan to reunite Noodle with her.

find it hard to swallow the re-heated tripe served up again. Even the posters are the same, only with the focus here on arse rather than groin. As an essay on our obsession with fame, it says nothing new, and as satire it succeeds fleetingly – the Hamas/houmos double entendre getting Israeli and Palestinian officials agitated is horribly funny. Otherwise the tone is fashionably mocking. There is also the question of who is being taken in by his shtick. The camera is not hidden, so how often are those exposed by BrĂźno’s high camp probing merely using him for their own shot at the limelight? Cohen (ensconced in his stretch limo) probably thinks he’s subversive when in reality he is Ăźber mainstream. The gamble he takes lies not in overstepping the mark with his subject matter, for nothing is risquĂŠ anymore, not even a close-up of a dangling dick, but in the potential for him to become, in the public eye, the idiot he presents himself as – Gary McDonald took an age to live down Norman Gunston (a character much more likeable than either Borat or BrĂźno). I thought the film ugly, exploitative and demeaning, but plenty around me loved it – and they weren’t just the gimps in beanies, hoodies and backwards baseball caps. For mine, the best bit was when BrĂźno approached Harrison Ford and was told to ‘fuck off!’ I couldn’t have put it better myself. ~ John Campbell

Cohen’s parade. But that’s show business. Which is something Brßno, in his quest for celebrity status, would be only too aware of. The adventures and encounters of the gay Austrian, if more prurient, vary in no other way from those of Cohen’s previous alter-ego, Borat. That is, it’s a onejoke movie and if the joke didn’t work for you the first time around then you’ll

It was one of our favourite dinners. Porcupine Meatballs: fat spheres of mincemeat studded with the plump pearly spikes of cooked white rice in their tinned tomatoey sauce, syrupy and ever so faintly metallic. Hardly surprising given that two of the ingredients came out of cans, both the tomato soup which composed the sauce and the Carnation Milk which helped bind the balls together; the recipe itself was from the side of a Carnation Milk tin. I wonder now, decades later, if it were a clever ploy to get children to eat a frugal mincemeat dish cunningly disguised as cute animals – I was also touched when my ageing mother recently confided that every so often she will recreate this dish for herself. Frugal they may be but meatballs continue to be enjoyed across many cultures in seemingly infinite variety. They tend to share the common characteristics of minced meat, onions, spices, herbs, breadcrumbs, eggs or milk for binding, all rolled up in a ball then cooked by frying, baking, steaming or braising in a sauce. The tomato-sauce idea was originally the American notion of what Italians ate and was served with spaghetti – a dish which survives today, although Italians won’t have a bar of combining one dish which is an entree (spaghetti with sauce) with another which is a main (meatballs). In Denmark they are called ‘frikadeller’ and the meat used is typically pork and veal. Finnish meatballs, ‘lihapullat’, may contain minced reindeer meat and are traditionally served with lingonberry jam. Greek meatballs are ‘keftedes’ and are fragrant with mint; A b Albanian ones, ‘Qofte’, enclose fetta ccheese. h e In China they often form part o d of m sum and are called pork balls or dim LLion’s io on’s H Heads.

are delightfully named ‘Konigsberger Klopse’ and contain anchovies or salted herrings and are accompanied by a caper sauce. Iranian meatballs come in ten varieties and there is usually a filling of hard-boiled eggs or dried fruit. Then of course there are the Spanish or Latin American ‘albondigas’, currently elevated to a culinary fashion statement with the tapas craze: these are often served in a tomato sauce and the name derives from the Arabic for hazelnut. Turkish cuisine features more than 80 types of meatballs. And in the UK the evocatively-titled ‘faggots’ are traditionally made with the heart, liver

and belly of the pig. Scotch Eggs could be considered a type of meatball, the hard-boiled egg encased in mincemeat then breadcrumbs. Italian meatballs are called ‘polpette’ or ‘polpettine’ for the really tiny ones; I remember one restaurant where I worked endlessly rolling miniature ones the size of marbles – or perhaps hazelnuts! – to go into an onion soup. Nowadays meatballs are mostly found served with a viscous brown gravy in seedy pubs or tired clubs – and it’s a shame, because like the equally frugal sausage, they can be delectation itself.

Lachlan’s aboard the Pony Express On with the show for two old troopers John Campbell

The Pony Express Series format is a Motorcycle Enduro Ride event where a team of riders race 25 minute laps through the bush over a five hour period. Lachlan Stanford is gaining his street cred in this event and has had a very successful year so far, with the two previous weekends no exception for this talented rider. Recently Lachlan rode his KTM to victory along with

team mate Mat Sprenger in round 1 of the Queensland Pony Express Series. Last weekend the team managed to repeat the performance with not only another win in the expert class, but a third place outright overall just behind Australian Enduro greats AJ Roberts-Robert Day and Kirk Hutton-Grant Seibenhousen. Next Month Lachlan, who is currently leading the Pony

Express, will race at Cheribah Resort in Queensland where he plans to take the lead in The National Off Road Series in the Expert E1class. a nice feather to add to the cap of this rider who is the reigning 2009 Queensland Champion, Expert All Powers; the South East Queensland 2 Day Endurance Champion; currently second place in the Australian National Off Road Series.

32 July 14, 2009 The Byron Shire Echo

Second-rower and captain, Andrew Moroney caught the eye in the first half and veteran five-eighth Scott Hogan stamped his authority on the second as the Mullumbimby Giants disposed of the Murwillumbah Mustangs to the tune of 48-10 at Les Donnelly Field on Sunday. It is at this time of year when the reasons why some teams are at the head of the table and others languishing become apparent. With everything to play for in the run in to the NRRRL play-offs, the severely depleted Giants maintained their place among the genuine contenders with what was hardly a vintage performance but one on which, at every turn, they proved themselves to be better organised, more committed and, most noticeably, too classy for the visitors. The Mustangs, on the back of consecutive penalties from the kick-off, opened the scoring when their fullback, with tacklers clinging to him like limpets and almost as an afterthought, reached out and planted the ball over the line. Mur’bah was unexpectedly in the lead and, excited by that initial success, the visitors fancied their chances and went wide whenever they could. But they were not quite able to summon the pace or finesse to seriously threaten. Mullum took a conservative approach in settling. Their forwards went Dengate. 9/7 4 Ball Best Ball Stab: winners S Kosaka, R Manley c/b. NTP: 7th N Carsburg, 12th N Carsburg, 17th J O’Rafferty, Pro Pin M Bertoli.

hard and direct until, in sight of the try-line, more expansive moves were employed. Moroney, prowling out wide on the left, was the beneficiary of his teammates’ pragmatism by running in a hat-trick of tries (surely enough for him to be rid of his naff nickname of ‘Suzie’?). His third was a beauty – thirty out, Hogan threw a delightfully weighted pass to put Sunny Jay Hampson into a gap and he floated the ball overhead to his unstoppable skipper. It was quality footy and when halfback Chase Nelson dummied his way through a bamboozled defence to make it 22-4 at the break nobody knew better than the Mustangs themselves that they were on the ropes. The second forty saw Hogan come into his own. He is one of those invaluable players who have a real football brain – and

it looks it too, for with his questionable stand up coif his head looks way too big for the frame that supports it. He scampered about the park in the second forty like he owned the place, scoring the try that killed any hope of a comeback the Mustangs might have harboured. His kicking provides a second option to Nelson’s and he remains nippy enough over twenty to trouble the defence – as a number six with flair, he is Pepé Le Pew to Moroney’s Foghorn Leghorn. Further tries were registered to Mitch Morris, Dwayne Moseley and Nelson, who was pursued all the way by his opposite during a ninety-metre, lung-busting sprint down the right flank. The Giants’ reggies continued their awesome season with a 5610 win and the Under 18s came back to snatch an 18-all draw.

Gold Coast United’s day to remember in Byron Byron Rams coach Peter Ware spent a good deal of last week looking at the wet paddock and to the skies, praying to the gods of football, to keep the water in the clouds in preparation for the much anticipated and finally manifested exhibition match between Gold Coast United’s A-League and a Byron Bay Select XI. The event was a fabulous occasion for the 2000 people who were fortunate enough to be there. The day started with the United players giving freely of their time and experience to the footballers of the future, when they took clinics and signed autographs for Byron and the surrounding club’s junior players. The morning with the kids was nothing short of brilliant with players like Socceroo Jason Culina who made himself available to all the kids. He, along with Jess Vanstrattan (ex Juventus) and Andrew Barisic, (ex Melboune Knights) and the other players made, for many, what could only be described as a memorable day. The relaxed, social atmosphere continued all day with the team mingling with crowds and players alike, even wandering into to town for lunch.

The Byron boys and the few intelopers from other clubs on the coast did themselves very proud. They executed a feat that only one other team, the famous English Premier League side Fulham were able to do,

and that was to score a goal against United, courtesy of local hero on the day – Jordy Campbell. United had a not unexpected win over the Boys from Byron, but the locals gave the Gold Coast team a run for their

completed their round 1 heats. In the 14 Boys local surfer Michael Wright took the biggest win of his young 13 year old career by winning the 14 and under division of the esteemed Rusty Gromfest at Lennox Head on Monday. Surfing huge seas up to 3 metres, Wright won with authority claiming the event’s only perfect 10 point ride on his opening ride in the final and later backed it up with a solid 7.25 for a final score of 17.25 defeating Keoni Yan of Tahiti in second place on 12.05. The event will finish later this week .

money. United’s Andrew Barisic continued what has been a good run of pre-season form, by bagging a hat-trick in the 5-1 win over the Select XI. Daniel Piorkowski and trialist Greg Thomas chimed in with the other goals in front

of the enthusiastic locals at the Rec grounds. Soon after the former Melbourne Knights striker smashed a thunderbolt against the crossbar but finally hit the net in the 20th minute, nodding home Adama Traore’s excellent centre. Matt Osman rattled the bar with a stinging drive before Barisic doubled his tally when he tapped home the rebound after Daniel Piorkowski’s shot was parried into his path by the Byron Bay ‘keeper. The home side pulled one back after the break when goalkeeper Jerrad Tyson fired his attempted clearance into the midriff of a Byron striker and could only watch as Ram’s Campbell looped the ball into the net. United restored the two-goal margin soon after courtesy of a well-placed shot by Piorkowski and made it 4-1 with an almost identical goal from trialist Greg Thomas and Barisic completed his treble in the final minutes with a precise finish from 20 metres. Coach Ware was ecstatic with the entire event. ‘The Gold Coast team came down for a relaxed match without all the hoopla of a commercial event,’ said Peter after the game. ‘That’s

It is finally upon us, the pinnacle of the sporting year. Forget the cricket, this is the ‘real’ Ashes contest. Moonshiners versus Byron Bay this Saturday at Stan Thompson Sports Fields Brunswick Heads. Think Ali v Frazier, Balboa V Creed, bones will be rattled, blood will be spilled and legends will be born. Byron with their tapestry of locals and internationals will be desperate to reclaim the hallowed trophy. The Moonshiners will be defending it like a bull terrier with a bone. Both sides have

been training all season to peak at 2 pm this Saturday, the premiership is irrelevant. This is grass roots Rugby at its very best. No entry cost, bar and canteen provided. Bring your kids, bring your dog and bring your local passion. The Under 19s raise the curtain at 12.30pm with the battle for the Ashes kicking off at 2pm. All players and supporters are welcomed upstairs after the game to watch the Wallabies take on the All Blacks at 5pm. All Moonshiners expected at training 6.30pm on Wednesday to finalise preparations.

just what they got. It could only happen in Byron. Entry to the match was free and the United players were sociable and available to the crowd. Fans were able to sit right on the sidelines and enjoy the game, the whole day was fantastic.’ The local lads didn’t for one minute expect to beat the ALeague team, but they put on a good show and gave the visitors a good run. ‘I was excited for the players,’ said Ware. ‘An exhibition match is never just an exhibition. It was a very competitive game. The attacks were hard, these boys are serious. They are playing for contracts and it’s serious business. ‘Our boys were dogged and didn’t give in, but they were playing a team from a class above and in the end we just lost our legs. With 15 minutes to go we ran out of steam – the bench was empty and we had used up all our energy – United were way beyond us, a quality team, but we gave them a good run.’

TAURUS: Fixed attitudes limit your choices as well as your ability to think creatively, so this week may need you looking at some kind of refresher course to update the past you into the future you. Late week Taurus moon presides over shopping, socializing – and overindulging.

LEO: This week’s sensitive to the point of paranoid and careless comments could cause fireworks. It also pays to watch your back. On the upside, for romantically inclined Leos (are there any other sort?) this week opens its arms wide to one on one intimacy.

SCORPIO: People behaving badly this week could tempt you to exercise the sting. Don’t, it only comes back to you. It’s a competitive time, but you have fantastic rapport with others and there’s no denying Scorps thrive on contriving smart strategies, clever plans and wily moves.

AQUARIUS: Exercise conversational caution because at present even your most helpful observations could be misperceived. That said, a fresh breeze of inspiration inclines this week towards your wildest ideas, though projects great and glamorous may have to wait till next month to really take off.

Backlash It appears that problems with Council’s PA system in its chambers are down to rats chewing into the audio equipment and causing councillors’ individual speakers to no longer function. The faulty equipment has been removed for repair and steel mesh will be placed over any openings in the audio cabinet to prevent future damage. We shall see. It’s likely that getting councillors and residents to speak directly into the little microphones will still prove to be a problem.

Developers at the old Epicentre site in Byron Bay are looking for an artist or sculptor to adorn the entry to the development. Expected to be completed over the next few months, the site is being transformed into a 20lot residential estate. Developer John Grounds felt that this was a great opportunity for a local artist or sculptor to do ‘something clever... with this: a permanent statement.’ He will advertise for expressions of interest but in the meantime local artists drawn to the prospect of immortality can contact Brendan on 0410 206 326.
