Peaceful farewell to Jai Morcom

BayFM suspends broadcaster Journalist and radio commentator Giovanni Ebono was suspended from local community radio station BayFM last week by the management committee of the station because of outspoken comments about two topics: Blues Fest director Peter Noble, and the death of Jai Morcom. His show, The Generator, was launched in November 2005 and includes a news segment which is broadcast nationally on the Community Radio Network.

Over 1,000 people gathered last Saturday in Heritage Park, Mullumbimby, to farewell Jai Morcom, the 15 year old boy who died in a schoolyard brawl at the local high school on Friday August 28. The memorial/celebration had moments of humour and sorrow as family and friends paid tribute to a bright individual whose warm presence will be sadly missed. A group of students from Mullumbimby High created and performed a song, ‘Better On The Other Side’, to remember their friend and to call for peace. Jai’s father, Steve Drummond, said his son’s legacy was bringing the community of Mullumbimby together again. ‘What he has given in passing away is unbelievable in what it’s done.

es on Jai’s coffin before it was taken through the crowd to the waiting hearse. On Monday Mullum High principal Ian Graham and staff issued the following statement: ‘Today marks the end of what can only be described as the most difficult week we have ever experienced at Mullumbimby High School. We have been overwhelmed by emotions throughout this time, from sorrow and hurt to pride and gratitude, and finally, hope. It has also been our first week without Jai Morcom. ‘Words cannot express our sorrow The service also included Aborigi- at the tragic death of Jai. Our hearts It’s just brought everyone together.’ Jai’s sister, Kyra, wept as she recalled nal and Maori ceremonies, and the go out to Jai’s parents Kim and Steher brother: ‘There aren’t words good release of white pigeons and multi- ve, his family, extended family and enough for how he made me feel. I coloured balloons. friends. Every member of our school loved him so much.’ Friends and family wrote messagcontinued on page 2 FUND FOR JAI’S FAMILY: Spaghetti Circus has launched an appeal to provide the Morcom and Drummond families with the time and space to grieve the loss of their son, brother and former Spaghetti kid Jai by setting up the Jai Morcom Fund. Jai’s Mum Kim is well known in the Shire for her decades of work teaching at Spaghetti Circus. ‘It gives the opportunity for the whole community to pull together to support a local family experiencing an incredibly painful time,’ says Leonie Mills from Spaghetti Circus. ‘They have so much to deal with so if we can ease the burden of dealing with added financial pressures, it will really help.’ The money will go to covering funeral expenses, ongoing support and services and the loss of income borne by family members in this very difficult time. Donations can be made to Spaghetti Inc Public Fund Account: Jai Morcom Appeal. Commonwealth Bank BSB: 062578 Account Details10230602. Donations over $2 are tax deductible. Receipts can be obtained from Spaghetti by calling 6684 3038.

BayFM had been criticised by residents of Tyagarah for not giving more airtime to the issue of Blues Fest development application before Byron Shire Council. Ebono said that he felt he was representing the interests of the community by replaying a two year old interview with Noble in which he dismisses critics of the Blues Fest. Commenting on Ebono’s suspension, BayFM president Ros Elliott told The Echo that ‘the principal concern of Bay FM is that we broadcast within the law... in this incident, what Ebono said about the events that took place at Mullumbimby High constituted a breach of our code of practice and came very close to breaching contempt of court.’

community has been deeply touched by this tragedy and we will never forget how lucky we are to have known such a beautiful boy. ‘Sadly while we are a school community in mourning, we have been so hurt by the turmoil that our students have en-

dured while they are grieving. We are a peaceful, supportive and caring school community, and the tragic events of last Friday shocked us all deeply. ‘Yet in the face of this adversity we have watched our community grow in strength and courage. We are so proud of how our students, staff and par-

ents have supported and cared for each other at this time. We are proud of the way our students have shown respect for Jai’s family and the rituals they have created to honour his life. We are proud of how close to 800 teenagers sat in respectful silence for 45 minutes today while our school was cleansed. ‘Of course we would never have survived this week without support, and we have been overwhelmed by the goodwill from our local community, our colleagues in schools across Australia and from friends and strangers all over the world. We have received literally hundreds of emails, faxes, cards, flowers and messages of support and to each and every one of you who has reached out to us, we say thank you. ‘To all the local principals, the Department of Education support staff, the professionals who have come into our school this week to offer counselling, advice and many extra pairs of hands, we say thank you. To the legion of volunteers and parents who have been there for us, who have listened, offered shoulders to cry on, hugs, food and endless cups of tea, we say thank you. ‘To our local media for showing respect to our grieving community, we say thank you. ‘To Jai’s family who have allowed us to share this time of mourning with them, we say thank you. To the Aboriginal and Maori Elders who gave our school a beautiful spiritual cleansing today, we say thank you. To our beautiful students who are the heartbeat of our school, we say thank you. ‘It is on this foundation of support that we are now able to feel hope – hope that we will all look inside ourselves and become better people as a result of this tragedy. Hope that we can continue to grow in strength and rebuild our wonderful, peaceful school community. Hope that we can heal.’ ■ Letters, page 11

Ash offers back space on eBay Story & photo Eve Jeffery

Ash Mackinnon lost his wife. In a tragedy known to many Australians yet unique to each, Ash and his wife Leah lost the battle against cancer when Leah died three years ago. Sadly Ash was left alone to bring up the couple’s two children and sadder still, three years later, Ash is having to sell himself to pay a bill that was $80,000 after Leah’s treatments and has now ballooned to over $100,000 after interest and bank and late fees. How can this be? How can we in the lucky country be sent to the poor house for being ill? Leah was diagnosed with secondary tumours after she overcame breast cancer and the only treatment that could help her was the world famous Cyberknife which is at this point not available in Australia. The machine which directs upwards of 150 beams onto a computer located point within the human body has has phenomenal success in treating all types of cancers, aneurysms and a myriad of health problems. Ash and Leah travelled to the US and after two treatments over a period of months, Leah’s tumours has disappeared but she died due to other unrelated complications some time later. In an effort to do anything they could to save Leah’s life, the couple used credit cards to pay for the treatment and it is these bills that Ash is still trying to deal with three years on. ‘Leah’s oncologist said the Cyberknife was too expensive. The treatment in Australia is considered the last option when in reality it should be the first and the criteria for funding is subjective’. The Wilson’s Creek resident

Ash MacKinnon demonstrates the advertising possibilities of his back space.

has been fighting for the last three years to get the Cyberknife in this country and has worked and petitioned tirelessly lobbying the government for this machine that so many other countries in the world already have, and at a relatively cheap price of $6 million, it is actually more affordable than getting Medicare to cover the cost of sending people overseas to be treated, but Ash has had to put his petitioning on hold as he deals with larger issues in his life on the home front. Ash is being hassled to the nth degree in regards to the credit he built up during the course of Leah’s treatmemnt. In a last ditch effort to pay these outstanding accounts, Ash has listed on an eBay auction, not the shirt, but the skin on his back to the highest bidder for the purpose of tattooing a business logo as an eternal advertisement.

Ash listed his back a few weeks ago and the lucky winner donated the prize back to Ash. He re-listed again recently and again had the auction item donated back to him, he is very grateful to both the winners. Ash had hoped to refinance his loans at the cost of another $80,000 and it all looked good until he got a call from the bank last week. ‘I was at my son’s soccer on Wednesday afternoon and Citibank rang me to tell me they were putting my account into default. ‘As my “deal” for refinance depended on a clean record, Citibank’s actions have ruined my chances of getting the refinance package. All the other banks had agreed to a three month break to allow me to get the refinance, consolidate the cancer treatment debt that I have been juggling for three years. Now I have no choice but to take drastic action. I

need this settled ASAP, so out of frustration I thought it’s time to sell my house but need to do it quickly. So now I have the back to front sale!’ Ash is actually giving his house away for free but as he and his children will be homeless, the family will have to leave their three alpacas behind and Ash is selling them to the highest bidder. To get the house, you need to buy the animals. Ash is now re-listing his back on eBay. ‘The last bidder to win the back tattoo does not want me to do it so it’s back on to eBay for virgin tattoo this week and as the alpacas are becoming celebrities, I may be able to rent them out for events or advertising’.

Film follows local birthing drama Lou Beaumont

A new and inspiring documentary about a woman determined to give birth naturally despite contrary advice will be screened next week. A Breech in the System follows the story of Karin Ecker’s first pregnancy and her struggle, both emotionally and logistically, to uncover her choices and stand by them after she was told her baby was breech. Initially wanting a natural birth at the Mullumbimby Birthing Centre, at 37 and a half weeks Karin was informed this would not be possible at this low risk unit as her baby was breech (feet down position, a high risk birth). Referred to Tweed Hospital, Karin was told she would have to deliver via caesarian section at 38 weeks. Determined to carry her baby full term and still hoping for a natural delivery, Karin dug deeper to find an alternative way.

The real process Karin, the film’s subject and director, told The Echo, ‘It was clear they weren’t going to support my choice for a natural birth so I asked them, “Will you close the door when you see me coming?” Once I had established that they would help me, even if they didn’t support the choice, that no-one could force me to have a caesarian, the real process began. ‘It was then that I had to look within my own heart and ask what do I really want to do now? I didn’t want to be told what I had to do but of course I didn’t want to make an unsafe decision, and I was getting conflicting advice from everywhere. I was very stressed, I had little time to decide, and in the end I couldn’t decide. ‘I made a decision to remain open and give myself every chance to have a natural birth. So once I found out I did have a choice, I then had to look

experiential and knowledge base. Both women were there with me at the birth, and as I was so in the moment they were invaluable, making sure my wishes were heard and followed through. ‘I didn’t know what was right or wrong, I just wanted choices. Sharon and I want to use this film as a tool for airing the information surrounding birth. So little information is available to women about available choices and I would like to raise the issues around Australia.’ The outcome of Karin’s story is surprising, something magical happened completely out of left field but you won’t read about it here.

‘A great model’

Local authors in anthology

Local filmmaker Sharon Shostak was Karin’s support person at the birth. She also filmed the birth itself and edited A Breech in the System. Shostak said, ‘Karin really had to arm herself with all kinds of support outside of the system, and I think had she been anywhere other than in Byron Shire that support may have been harder to come by. As it is, we are lucky enough to be fairly well versed on alternative birthing in the area. The film illustrates the best of it all working together, it is a great model for the hospital system and the alternative choices working well together.’ With friend Sharon and midwife Sue Cookson by her side Karin had the confidence to investigate her options. Karin said, ‘Sue had no agenda.

Local authors Jesse Blackadder and Hayley Katzen, pictured, are among 30 writers selected for the 2009 edition of Award Winning Australian Writing, published by Melbourne Books on September 1. This anthology aims to bring together the country’s awardwinning fiction short stories and bush poetry. Hayley Katzen’s story ‘Mille Feuille’, about food and familial love, won the Eastwood Hills Regional Annual Literary Award 2008. Jesse Blackadder’s story ‘Last Days in Byron Bay’ about the linked themes of overdevelopment and lost love, which won the 2009 Mardi Gras Short Story Competition, is also in the book.

Sweet taste to dance fest There’s belly dance, Bollywood, cabaret, flamenco, hip hop and Reggaeton, but Wild Honey Dance Festival Director Belinda Burton says she thinks one of the highlights of this year’s event will be the Indigenous Humming Bee dance, as part of the Taste of Wild Honey workshop. Coming up on September 25-27 at the Bangalow A&I Hall, Wild Honey Dance Festival is ‘a community celebration and invitation, which aims to bring people together for three dynamic days of dance workshops and performance,’ says Burton. ‘The title Wild Honey references the ways that bees work together as a hive community and dance their ecstatic experience of contributing.’ Sessions that open to beginners include cabaret and hip hop sessions led by local dance teacher Dani Finkenauer, fla-

menco with Byron Bay based Kelly Houghton and a ‘Serpentine Ritual Dance’ with Maria Sangiorgi from Melbourne. Maria Hamer, pictured, from Zafira Dance Co USA, is teaching four workshops for tribal bellydance enthusiasts. Wild Honey Dance Festival tickets are on sale now at www. wildhoneyfestival.com.

It seems hard to believe that one year of work would result in just a one minute sequence in a major feature film, but that is how it was for Jim Dodd, pictured with director George Miller, when he worked as Sequence Lead on Happy Feet. Screenworks decided to share this information with the local screen industry and interested public and has invited this hotshot young animator and a dynamic young games artist to town to explain what is involved in making games and animations. Jim will go through what is involved in making animated features, who is involved and how it comes together, at

the Screenworks Games and Animation Session at SAE on Saturday September 12 from 3.30pm to 5.30pm. Jim will show examples and excerpts from the films he has worked on and discuss opportunities in the industry. Joining him will be 3D artist modeller Rupert Lewis-Jones who worked on the popular games Avatar and Reservoir Dogs.

3 DAYS TO GO Actors April Galetti, Avikal and Caroline Farrell, with director Anatoly Frusin, second from left. Victoria Cosford

One of the pieces of advice that Anatoly Frusin proffers his students is that every time they give a performance they should consider it is the last they will ever give, and therefore imbue it with their best. Indeed it is advice applicable to all forms of human endeavour. Currently steering the Byron Bay Theatre Company’s production of Pinter’s Old Times, Anatoly has been living here for the past couple of years, having arrived with a formidable pedigree in the performing arts. So taken is he with the amount of talent in the region that he would love to see it become ‘really well known for producing professional-level productions.’ He talks about the word ‘amateur’ and its true meaning, which is ‘lover’, describing how to be called an amateur is actually one of the highest compliments you can be bestowed in that you are doing something

for no reward other than the sheer love of the thing. For a softly-spoken gentle man, Anatoly exudes a lot of passion. Born in Russia of Ukrainian gypsy/Belorussian Jewish parents, he studied English Literature in New Zealand, drama in Canada and eventually theatre direction at NIDA in Australia. Since then he has been directing, teaching, writing and touring shows – a peripatetic sort of existence he loves for which, given his gypsy stock, he is clearly equipped. Having visited Byron Bay constantly over a period of 15 years he decided to leave Brisbane, his base, and make the move here, where so many friends live. He talks about the magic that happens when he directs actors – ‘it’s as if they’re possessed’, he says, ‘ ...they channel their characters and you can’t work out where it’s coming from.’ It is, he goes on to say, ‘a spiritual practice, a shamanic exercise... and if it’s done properly... the

dead awaken and the gods come down and you feel you are in a very privileged place.’ All of which makes his Pinter production even more alluring. The play Old Times he fell in love with at university some twenty years ago, regarding it as ‘the greatest and most perfect of all Pinter’s plays...’ He is struck in particular by the fact that, while a comic writer and extremely funny, Pinter is ‘funny only up to a point and that’s the point he’s actually writing about’ – the brittle, fragile line, perhaps, which separates lightness from darkness. Anatoly loves too the feeling of freedom and possibility there is in this creatively fertile region – the fact that its absence of conventionality, its venues oozing character or charm, or both, and its pool of very talented people from which to draw all add up to a director’s dream and feed the capacity to expand. He is of course much too modest to suggest that, equally, the region

But we expected, in fact demanded, action from the government and as quickly as possible. This

months of preparation. But speed was critical if business and consumer confidence, perhaps the two most vital ingredients of all, were to be maintained. And they were. This was in itself a convincing indication that the approach was the right one and as other figures started to emerge its success was spectacularly confirmed. But from the first, the op-

Our time in the woods has been a teddy bears’ picnic compared to what was being predicted just twelve months ago ago. by Mungo MacCallum was not a time for scrimping, cheese-paring and penny-pinching. We wanted our elected leaders to go for broke; and they did. With the imprimatur of the Australian Treasury, the International Monetary Fund and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, to name but three, Rudd, Swan and their colleagues came up with a series of packages designed to stimulate the local economy through what was likely to be a fairly lengthy period. First, of course, there were the direct cash handouts to keep consumption moving until other measures could kick in. Then there were the subsidies for infrastructure in schools and local government to kick along the construction industry in the relatively short term, as well as more substantial projects which would last longer. Of course it was all put together in a rush; normally spending of such magnitude would require weeks if not

It was too much too soon, it should have been more tightly targeted, money has gone to the wrong projects and the wrong people, it’s going on too long, it wasn’t really necessary in the first place and now our children will have to pay for it. Well, perhaps there is some truth in some of the criticism; had we but world enough and time it might – with hindsight -- have been done a bit differently and a bit more efficiently. But it was seen as a crisis, and it demanded a crisis response. Think of it as the urgent defence of the nation. And in that context, it is worth noting that however extravagant and wasteful Rudd’s spending might be shown to be, it pales into insignificance beside the extraordinary dissipation of the budget for military defence, with its never-ending blowouts, delays, bad choices and purchases which, when – if – they finally arrive fail to perform as promised or even

to be what was ordered in the first place. At least Rudd’s prescription was delivered at cost and on time, and it did what it was meant to. Turnbull and the rest of his chorus of Cassandras should acknowledge it, and lighten up. This is a time to celebrate an amazing escape, not to gripe about the bill. However, the opposition got one complaint right, and that was about the billboards the government insists should adorn every new school building until the program winds up in 2011, coincidentally shortly after the next federal election. The Electoral Commission has ruled that these may constitute political advertising, and must therefore carry a government authorisation. But hang on. If they are political advertising, as opposed to government information, then the authorisation should be political: it should be from the Australian Labor Party, not the Australian Government. And indeed, the Labor Party, not the taxpayer, should be picking up the tab. Placards of this kind are not a misuse of public moneys in the ways that John Howard’s campaigns for the GST and WorkChoices were: those were running before either program was even in legislative form, let alone implemented. They were no more than party policy, and subverting taxpayer funds to promote them was very close to open corruption. At least Rudd’s buildings actually exist. But he did promise to reform the system and abide by the umpire’s decisions on political advertising and this is clearly a borderline case. Rudd rightly prides himself on his integrity and his ability to keep election promises. The placards might warrant further consideration.

The tragedy at Mullumbimby High ■ The tragedy at Mullumbimby

High School demonstrates we obviously don’t need Asians or Lebanese to perpetrate criminal behaviour. It demonstrates we need the presence of school counsellors taken seriously, teaching conflict resolution as part of life skills. My limited experience as a school teacher did include several school counsellors quitting the job because of lack of support, the loneliness of that job. My heartfelt condolences to Jai Morcom’s mother and father. Nicole Marinacce

Byron Bay ■ All the community grieves with Jai’s family and his friends. This terrible accident has brought students, staff, parents and all the community together as little else has done. Let’s maintain this sense of unified community as a lasting memorial to Jai.

John Morris

BrunswickValley Uniting Church ■ I’m sure all of Mullumbimby is feeling the pain of the tragedy. I just want to say that the school and teachers should not be made responsible for the action of students. Parents should be responsible for their children until they come of age and should be held accountable for their actions in and out of school.

Back at Belongil It has been too easy to sympathise with John Vaughan and his neighbours and blame Council for taking what initially appears to be an unreasonably hard line on Belongil and I thank Cr Basil Cameron for his letter last week which puts the whole issue into a

grey area is being overlooked. What has happened to our boys that they feel they must resort to gang violence in order to feel strong and masculine and brave? Of course this has a lot to do with the absence of self-empowerment and while it should be taught in schools and reinforced at home, it is going to take more than that. As these boys transition from children to men they are lacking adequate guidance and dialogue about the difficult transition process. They are lacking a rite of passage. In the aftermath of Jai Morcom’s death, the main things we should be talking about are ways in which to educate our young men about settling their disputes without violence. We must teach them about the dangers of pack mentality and the virtues of standing up against that pack when the pack is not acting in the best interests of others. While I do not proclaim to have all of the answers, I do know that it is high time we started talking to our boys, to our schools and to our ministers about these issues and devising strategies to ensure that the death of a child in the playground never, ever happens again.

of the people who attend Mullumbimby High school, but rather an example of the problem of violence in our society. The media has warped the incident, picking and choosing what they want to show to portray the Mullum High as a place full of gangs and ‘table wars’. It was not a premeditated fight, but as I said before, it was a random act of violence that accidentally escalated to the worst possible outcome. Rather than accusing the school of having a problem with bullying, look at the bigger picture. All schools have problems with bullying; it’s the age of adolescence that has the trouble. Instead of creating more conflict by trying to blame particular students and the teachers, let your thoughts be with the family and friends of Jai, who have gone through enough angst as it is. I attend Mullum High and I have for the past five years, and I think it’s a really good school. I’m sorry for the event that has happened, but revenge and blaming isn’t the answer. An eye for an eye makes the world blind.

The death of Jai Morcom should never have happened, there is no disputing that fact. A young boy is dead and while we cannot turn back the clock to change the circumstances that led to this tragedy, we must hold those circumstances up to the brightest light, to ensure that this never happens again. The culture of bullying and violence is not as the media would have us all believe indicative only of Mullumbimby High School. This tragedy could have easily happened at Byron or at one of our many high schools, because it is not Mullumbimby High School that is broken, but rather the culture itself. We are all too aware of the problems associated with gang violence in the United States. What makes us think we are immune from that? When our teenage boys are not given the skills to control their anger, when they are baited into fights to gain status within their peer group and within their school, we have the makings of a national crisis. This is happening to some degree in the majority of our high schools. It is the bigger picture. It is not a case of good versus evil, and it is not as black and white as the media would have us all believe. And while it is human nature to want to make someone or something accountable for this tragedy, in the midst of all of this finger pointing, the

Men of letters challenge The Echo You obviously felt honour bound to publish my stinging attack on your letters policy but unfortunately you rather spoilt the effect by interfering with the reader’s right to judge that letter on its merits; you imposed a sarcastic headline that belittled my motives and presumed to tell the readers through what prism they should regard my words. More evidence of the high-handed attitude I was complaining about? Look, Michael, I’ve had to endure a variety of humiliating shit from The Echo over the years. On almost every occasion I’ve swallowed my pride in order to remain on tolerable terms with you guys so that the big picture is not lost. Need I remind you of your record in terms of being asleep at the wheel? Left to The Echo’s tender mercies our beloved and troubled shire would by now have been absorbed into Tweed or Lismore, Max Eastcott would be the overpaid GM of this super council (which would by now probably have secretly got itself into $100 million in debt) and Ross Tucker’s only problem as our elected federal member would have been to find someone to blame for the mess since all the alternatives would long ago have been cleansed and relocated to Nar Nar Goon and been replaced with multimillionaires like Ross himself, only with class. And guess what? The Max factor is alive and well among the Council staff and the ageold struggle between staff and elected councillors as to who runs the shire rages unabated.

Oh, you hadn’t noticed? Coorabell Considering Fast Buck$’s long contribution of service to this community and much of it at huge personal financial cost, much of it in areas where others wouldn’t dare venture, it’s reasonable for him to expect the courtesy of the occasional phone call from The Echo if there’s a problem with a particular letter. If you throw his letter in the bin where else are we going to get the benefit of his perspective, which has been proved to be correct on so many occasions and which is always stimulating? His general principle is correct too. If I go to the trouble of doing perhaps several rewrites of a letter to get it right I would expect a reason for its subsequent rejection. Isn’t that what accountability and transparency are al about? The Echo needs to do some serious thinking about its exercise of power and its role as the Shire’s window on the world. PS: Reader since 1986. The ‘Letters to the Editor’ is the heart and soul of the paper.

Coorabell ■ As one who also often finds his letters in the reject pile, I concur fully with Fast Buck$’s lament in last week’s letters.

Camphor clearing

The mass camphor clearing issue has many complexities. What your article last week didn’t mention was that the 100 acres that has been cleared in Possum Creek is to make way for more cows and that great ‘noxious weed’ in the shire – grass. Not only is this a massive loss of habitat it’s also a net loss of carbon. Ballina Shire has introduced a DA process for it because these works are so destructive and as a result the company isn’t going there because there are too many hurdles to jump. This entire process is being subsidised by the federal government as part of its ‘green

Fast Buck$ and resource.

As a community resource which claims to be ‘the echo’ of Byron Shire, it seems oddly strange that any one single letter should ever be omitted for any reason at all. Other mediums will generally save all submissions for later issues. One should never allow one’s popularity to go to one’s head, and censorship is the first rule of dictatorship. The extremely lame argument that says ‘lack of space’ becomes very difficult to believe when one considers the amount of pages afforded to paid advertisers and regular columnists whose content, while perhaps sometimes amusing, is rarely topical or relevant to local issues. I for one find the letters column to be the only really interesting part of my weekly read, and fail to see how the editor could possibly find a reason to trash so many contributions when extra pages could so easily be added with extra space on the other end for extra revenue. Perhaps the succesful enterprise which is The Echo could find it in their hearts, even, to offer subsidised rates to businesses on the lower end of the economic scale to fill the extra spaces. It wouldn’t surprise me one bit if a small group of enterprising individuals banded together to publish a new weekly journal, something like, ‘The Byron Shire Voice’. As a humorous little subtitle under the main heading, they could lament, ‘The voice of Byron Shire, laughing all the way as the echo fades away.’ Ross Thatcher

I spent an hour deciphering the handwriting, dictating it to our typist and then cleaning up the draft. It came in at about a thousand words, five times our preferred length. Unfortunately, the letter consisted of a chronological account of Council’s inspection of Fast Buck$’s property and any cuts would have misrepresented it, so I reluctantly decided to omit. As for contacting him with suggested changes, anyone who has ever tried to contact Fast Buck$ in a hurry will smile at that. Now Mr Thatcher joins in saying we should publish his letters ahead of columnists, advertisements and all the other stuff that isn’t actually correspondence from readers. Presumably this is the business plan for the suggested new publication dedicated solely to Byron Shire missives. Jesting aside, Fast Buck$ (September 1) expressed dislike for our practice of listing the letters we didn’t have room for. It is a custom almost as old as The Echo itself, and has not previously attracted criticism. On the contrary, we are sometimes chided when a name does not appear and this acts as a check to ensure that we have not overlooked, or failed to receive, a letter. If any other readers (apart from the purple capitals brigade) feel strongly that we should discontinue the practice of listing letter writers, or have other problems with our treatment of letters, please let us know.

a 600 square metre block. A two hectare block allows them greater privacy, acoustic separation, the ability to site their house for maximum wind and solar advantage, dispose of sewerage on site in an agriculturally beneficial way, grow an orchard, plant a vegie garden, raise chickens and even kids. In short, room to breathe. It may not be for everyone but continued on page 16

Burning off Michael McDonald is right (Comment, September 1), burning sugarcane is wrong for so many reasons. But let’s not stop there; all those people who burn off regularly on their properties around town also need to be provided with other options. How about community owned mulchers, that are moved around the shire providing a service with the assistance of volunteers? We can’t keep patting ourselves on the back about being a ‘green’ and caring shire if we don’t solve these issues.

Hold fast against Woolies A couple of council meetings back, Byron Shire’s general manager stated emphatically that a core responsibility of his is to protect the ratepayers’ funds. Well here’s a chance for him to demonstrate that these are more than just words. Woolworths is challenging Council’s refusal of their sewer on a bog in the Land and Environment Court and has requested that ratepayers pay Woolworths’ legal costs. Having paid $3.8m for their soggy horse paddock, Woolworths is obviously keen to erect its big box and has no interest in waiting for the town’s reticulated sewerage system to be upgraded. Woolworths is coming to Mullumbimby for the sole purpose of milking the community of every dollar possible. Technically, it should be a straightforward and simple task to defend the Council’s refusal of Woolworths’ onsite sewage proposal on an urban low lying, often water-logged site with an effluent disposal area that has largely zero buffer distances. A proposal that requires a ludicrously high level of water saving procedures and a high level of technical skill and attention to manage. Unfortunately, court verdicts are so often a measure of the determination of the

Jackpot! Mullumbimby Community Action Network (www. mullumaction.org) produced this image of a possible pokie interface, given Woolworths’ huge involvement in gambling, about which you can learn more at www.pokiewatch.org.

successful party. The quality of the conflicting cases presented and cunning of legal representatives can win the day. Woolworths’ determination to have our elected Councillors and planning laws overruled must be met by that same determination by our staff and representatives. Without that, Woolworths will walk away with its approval and ratepay-

ers will be paying their costs. I do hope the general manager is good to his word and pulls out all stops to successfully defend Council’s refusal of Woolworths’ sewer on a bog. For no other reason than to protects ratepayers’ funds, this is a court case that Council must and can win. Garry Scott

A woman’s thoughts turn to plankton Story & photo Mary Gardner

Now in spring, as I idle along the wet sand at the tide line, my thoughts turn to plankton. What else? The green brown cream on the sea hints of the marine mix of plants called phytoplankton and animals called zooplankton. Warmed by the sun, both groups prosper. Running my hands through the sea water whole meadows of phytoplankton wash between my fingers. Each plant is a single cell, a nanometer in size, holding chlorophyll inside itself. This enables them to harvest sunshine for food. Some of the cells are bacteria, while others are diatoms. Diatoms are exquisitely formed cells with shells made of silica. They figure in marine plankton since the time of the Cretaceous (145 million years ago). We mine old stockpiles of them as ‘diatomaceous earth’. Also in phytoplankton are coccolithophorids. These cells are identified by their different armour ‘plates’ made of calcium carbonate. As they bloom in warming water, absorbing and reflecting light, they become so abundant they can be photographed by space satellites. Their membership in plankton goes back 175 million years. They make up the White Cliffs of Dover. Another type, without a mineral shell, are the dinoflagellates, red or green, with every cell having two whips used as oars to gad about the ocean. Blooms of this phytoplankton create the toxic ‘red tides’. Grazing on these are the many types of zooplankton. Some of the smaller ones have shells, made of calcium, silica or aragonite. Larger ones, without shells, include the babies of big sea creatures. These soon outgrow their plankton hideout. But the most common zooplankton are tiny shrimp-like animals called copepods. The ‘rain’ of their faecal pellets creates ‘marine snow’, fertilising the ocean depths. All this, invisible to my eyes, there in the splash of water I shake from my hands. I stop, rather absentmindedly. As the wind dries my fingers, I notice something about the branches of the dead tree on the sand,

shipwrecked by the recent winter storms. I circle the tree. It’s there and not there, depending on the light. There! Backlit by the afternoon sun, are signs of another world of plankton. This is Aeolian plankton; Aeolus being the old Greek god of the wind. Barely visible between the branches are gossamer, the silk threads left by dwarf spiders who go ballooning. They ‘tiptoe’ onto their front legs and raise their abdomens into the air. As the wind takes them up, their special internal glands secrete the strings of protein through spinnerets. Maybe one aeronaut catches on another branch but it ‘tiptoes’ again. Away it goes. Over many kilometres and even up into the atmosphere, the spiders join insects, pollen and fungal spores. If tow nets

sample marine plankton, radar sample the aeolian. For the past twenty years, radar tracking has become very sophisticated. In Western Australia, parts of China and Africa, radars track the night migrations of swarming insects such as grasshoppers that fly at an altitude of one kilometre. A species of moth from the Netherlands was tracked by radar as they travelled by high altitude wind to colonise the UK. Radar can even track male insects following the scent of females. Now, through the air and into clouds themselves, radar is also tracking the oldest form of life: bacteria. There are windblown types which travel around the world willy nilly. There are also species which live in the cumulus, cirrus and other forms of water vapour. Much of this is a jaw dropping mystery, new and unex-

plored. These bacteria appear to have life cycles which include acting as the cloud ‘seeds’ making rain and hail. They appear at the heart of each unique snowflake. One species, Pseudomonas syringae, travels by cloud from one wheat field to another, falling down in a chill rain and becomes an infection in the crop. The Aeolian bacteria eat organic acids, alcohols, sulfur, and nitrogen in the clouds. Does pollution affect them? Are they bothered by particulates in the air, which kill over a hundred people every day in cities like Los Angeles? A bit dazed, I sit on the dry sand. Overhead clouds are building up. I lie down, staring upwards. It’s like I never really looked at a cloud before. Are clouds different shapes because of different species of microbes? Is that silver lining because some species on the lower edge is starting rain or hail? What does lightning really do inside a cloud? Did a young Earth develop as a living planet because of this? What parts do microbes play in the great cycles of water, carbon and more? What do climate changes mean to cloud dwellers? I stand and walk again, rather aimlessly. The word ‘plankton’ is from a Greek verb meaning ‘to drift or wander’. I’m restless, but as a human I am too big a creature to do more than waft on the beach, wind in my clothes. I strain my eyes, imagining I can see the very crest of the breaking surf. Surely the spray is where mingle all the different planktons – aquatic and aeolian. I can smell it, that salty mix in my nostrils. Just wait. When I die and my body is long buried at sea, I’ll be glad, at last, to leap up…

Byron Region Community College – vocational & lifestyle learning

The Turning Point

An annual event which runs from September 1-8, Adult Learners’ Week (ALW) aims to celebrate and promote all forms of adult and lifelong learning, highlighting the importance of literacy. Director of Byron Regional Community College Richard Vinycomb has been at the helm for about 12 years and over that time has witnessed a lot of changes in the field of adult education. Ten years ago, for example, there were just 30 courses offered – now there are more than 170 across the entire S Shire, with about 2500 individual students stude enrolling each year, a figure fi which is over 10% of the adult

population. The nature of the courses has altered as well, with emphasis these days on IT and sustainable living. ‘In 1997,’ Richard told The Echo, ‘there was just one course in IT for beginners, and now there are around 30 at all levels.’ Another change has been the inclusion of vocational education and training with accreditation in fields like children’s services, aged care, small business management and even massage. ‘It’s very important that people now have the opportunity to be multi-skilled or work flexible hours,’ Richard explained. In addition there is the fact that many people move up here wanting to do something different with their lives in an area of high unemployment, therefore

requiring the extra skills enabling them not only to participate in different work but also to do things like earn income from home. Richard cannot, however, speak highly enough of the value of the creative and lifestyle courses such as cooking and stand-up comedy. It is this writer’s own experience – having taught cooking in adult community colleges including this one for many years – that the personal benefits for participants in the classes are many and varied as a result of the social interaction afforded, often equipping them with skills over and above those offered by the course itself. In fact many adults enrol in community courses precisely for the level of social interaction they provide. ‘These things,’ Richard pointed out, ‘are important in the fabric of the community – the artistic, lifestyle, health and personal development aspects... the stuff to do with personal enrichment.’ He is highly impressed with the standard of his tutors – ‘such a fantastic bunch of people’, he said, ‘with heaps of experience at facilitating an interesting learning journey.’ New courses are trialled every term, some successful and some not, and ‘heaps of proposals and ideas’ pour into the Centre constantly ‘from people with something to offer.’ Venues all over the Shire are used – college spaces, art studios, community halls – in a bid to ensure that the courses be accessible to people as much as possible. One of the most exciting things to happen will be the final stages of development of the Centre’s site in Mullumbimby, expected to be completed by June 2010, thanks to the Federal Government’s economic stimulus package. Richard said, ‘We are completing sustainable, best practice educational facilities in order to support this incredible interest in user-friendly, affordable courses...’ So watch that space!

fforms, does. I believe – in a way I can’t expla explain – that the earth holds its breath every time a moth chry chrysalis cracks open; that maybe even the ground itself stops to cradle every fallen ant. Every type of weather seems like somebody’s – anybody’s – wish, and every wish seems like the weather, too, making grey days, electric days, laid back afternoons and chilly nights. We need every type of day, of course, and we need every type of person, and as many opportunities for

that person, and the web they are woven into, to grow. That’s why I believe in community education. It springs from the dirt and hearts of where we live, and expresses our hopes and achievements in ways not always obvious – but when you look back, you can see how far we’ve come.

Byron Region Community College is our local registered training organisation, delivering a range of nationally accredited qualifications, alongside all the popular creativity, personal development and leading sustainability programs

Peter Shepherd Creativity cuts deep. You won’t find that acknowledged on many government websites, or financial bottom lines. But it’s the unacknowledged, buried, yet lifesaving idea that flows like spring through every course at Byron College. But it’s even deeper than that. It could be said that creativity is the in-the-world expression of that which makes us alive. It’s in the process of a creative act that we quicken, when each moment stretches and time seems to stand still, when worries somehow evaporate and we emerge through the other side of that creation transformed somehow; more whole. It’s creativity which often is the path to new solutions. And if creativity is that which makes us alive, then it follows that creativity is as essential to us as breathing. If you were watching for it, here’s what you might see: a mother listening to her child’s joke, wideeyed, then laughing. A dad being a goofhead. Or is it the dad laughing and the mum being a nut? It could be a child scaling a tree for the first time. It could be a magpie experimenting with a new tune. (Can you whistle and hoot along?). Someone making a dinner, even if it’s a sandwich. A neighbour gardening. There are the more well-known versions – the arts, from painting to writing. But it’s also through everything else. And I mean everything – business practices, horticulture, massage, childcare, aged care, making websites – anything that involves breathing a new version of you and the world together. Then once it’s in the world, who knows? You can never predict what might come of a single decision. And – to push the barrow of community education classes – the good ones, the type of classes that engender inspiration, deep learning and camaraderie, are the ones that knowingly look for and encourage creativity and passion. With a high level of knowledge and skill. It’s a commitment, behind the scenes, that makes personal and community transformation possible. In the feedback tray at Byron College there are some common threads: ‘I hold out for the next three hour session. It’s saving my

What’s on your learning horizon? life.’ ‘I feel transformed.’ Even, from regular creativity courses such as writing: ‘I feel deeply nurtured and healed.’ The job of a class is not, usually, healing. But it’s one thing that creativity does. Not always, and sometimes not obviously. But you look up and you’ve made something, learnt a skill; you might feel inspired to connect with an old friend, a parent; you can say, look, this is part of who I am. All it takes is a simple step, a breath of a decision to yes instead of maybe, and the world spins in a new direction. Behind the Byron College brochure are quiet community projects, too. Like the one where men – tradespeople – are learning for the first time to read and write own from together, stopping down a life of commitment and hard work, just ng for a moment. Finding companionship and recognition. A place to be themselves. In the process the tutor is learning a new type of literacy – of angles and e joints and tricks of the ur trade, and the humour that goes with it. p of Or this one: a group neighbours with mental health as their common fence, coming together with a team of tutors to build a raised vegetable garden, and learning how to maintain it. To step out of the walls and chat, to be a bit more independent. We work at these things, whether we know it or not, to make a difference. That’s what creativity, that’s what life, in all its

it’s the dream for an increasing number of dissatisfied suburban dwellers. But not in this shire. On the pretext of ‘affordable housing’ Council pushes tiny 600 square metre blocks currently advertised in The Echo for $350,000+. What rural landholder wouldn’t be happy to sell a suitable two hectare portion of their labourand money-intensive property for $350,000, $300,000, even $200,000? Unfortunately, Council hasn’t heard of Sea Change, Tree Change or Climate Change. They, like Patrick Morissey, prefer to follow the advice of

the NSW Dept of Planning. You know, the one that allows mining under vital rivers and car rallies where no-one wants them. Byron Bay became a mecca because of the alternative ideas of the forward thinking Tree and Sea Changers of the 60s and 70s. Council’s version of an alternative idea is which place should we fuck next, Main Arm or Mullum Creek. Nigel Eddy

Dental rights I would like to notify the public of their rights under the Commonwealth Enhancement Plan

which covers dental treatment. Under this program dental practitioners are required to provide patients with a written quote or cost estimate prior to commencing a course of treatment. There should also be an evaluation of all teeth, their supporting tissues and the oral tissues in order to record the condition of these structures. This evaluation includes recording an appropriate medical history and any other relevant information. The Australian Government Department of Health and Aging website has all the information and all one has to do is click on an item number to get

the description of the service and the Medicare rebate. Most dental practitioners in our shire bulk bill so you could be signing for services that you did not receive. As I am sure after talking with others that I am not the only one in our community who has been inappropriately charged for treatment that I did not receive and it seems to be widespread throughout the shire. I would like to see action taken against those dental practitioners who have breached the requirements of a written quote and for charges of treatment not received. I urge the public to take any grievances

to the Profession Services Review which examines health practitioner’s conduct: Professional Services Review, PO Box 7152, Canberra Post Business Centre, Fyshwick ACT 2610. All enquiries to enquiries@psr. gov.au. Name withheld

OS vandalism It’s one thing to pinch native trees and shrubs from National Tree Day plantings and expect them to live after transplanting; but it’s despicable to take your spade up to the Lions Lookout and dig up common old agaves out of the Memorial Garden for all those

killed at Port Arthur in 1996. You don’t have to stoop so low, people. All the plantings are easily sourced when you chat to local home gardeners. In fact, I’ll help you source the plants that you want free of charge if you will stop stealing our plants at the Lookout. If you only realised the amount of effort, time and support needed to plant, water and maintain trees and shrubs here, you might be a little more understanding in future. Ocean Shores Tidy Town teams have been rehabilitating, planting and undertaking soil erosion protection in many reserves throughout Ocean Shores, as well as the Lions and Shipway Lookouts since 1994, encouraging protective habitat for native birds and animals. Please keep this magnificent and tranquil area beautiful for everyone to enjoy. Every one of us can play our part and make a difference to our community. Tina Petroff

President Ocean Shores Tidy Town Team ■ The residents of Ocean Shores are lucky to have such a beautiful recreation area as the Waterlily Pond Park. It’s a place where young and old can come and enjoy the peace and nature’s beauty. The tennis courts are also there for those looking for some exercise. However we now have a minority group or groups who want to vandalise the area. The tennis club has been repeatedly a target, stealing the fridge; ruining the micro oven by cooking a cane toad; damaging the playing area and the court nets; graffitiing the clubs’ walls sometimes with filth. They burnt the kids’ play gym and broke other equipment the council has replaced. This week they sank to a lower level when some brainless fiend broke a bottle on the platform of the slippery dip for some unsuspecting young tot to climb up the ladder and cut itself, possibly seriously. The police don’t seem to have enough officers to patrol this area and older people are frightened to intervene for fear of retaliation. To report phone 131 444 and refer to Commander Kenny. Parents, if you know your charges are going down the park of a night I ask you to ask them to respect the area for all and not to destroy. I realise there is not much to do for the young teens, but don’t destroy what we have, a beautiful park not many in our shire have to enjoy.

DoP thoughts on Byron Shire’s LEP

Flamenco Workshops Byron Bay

Sept 11-13

Below is a letter of August 12 to Council’s general manager Graeme Faulkner from Tom Gellibrand, Deputy Director General Plan Making and Urban Renewal in the NSW Department of Planning. It was also leaked to the Australian Financial Review. I refer to previous discussions concerning certain provisions in the draft Byron LEP which require review as part of considering the draft plan for certification to enable public exhibition. You may recall that these issues were discussed in Sydney on 28 April last and the Department undertook to advise you further.

Holiday letting A review of the proposed approach to limiting holiday letting (‘guest house (holiday home) accommodation’) in certain precincts in the local govermment area has been undertaken. The proposed approach limits opportunities for low impact based tourism uses across the local government area and is likely to result in economic impacts for individuals and the local community. The policy approach in this regard is that such provision of holiday accommodation in a dwelling is a use ancillary to the major purpose of the building. The Department is currently looking at options in relation to holiday letting as the issue has State wide implications. While no final decision has been made I expect the conclusion will be that it is not appropriate to control holiday tenancies through the planning system. Accordingly I can not agree wilh the current draft provisions within the draft LEP. Council is encouraged to continue the current model of self regulation/management through the letting agents and landowners as a means of minimising any impacts.

Lot averaging (‘ratio’ clause) The Department is not convinced that this provision is appropriate. While it is accepted that the Byron LEPs have in-

Coastal erosion, one of the issues looked at in the LEP.

cluded this provision for some years the issue Is that such zoned land is scarce and that development should maximise the opportunities for land release and servicing. The Lot Size Map with appropriate lot sizes identified for each proposed R5 zone should be used to determine future subdivision controls for the zone, rather than lot averaging. Individual circumstances can be covered by annotations on the Lot Size Map if appropriate.

Coastal erosion It is noted that Council has included clauses in the draft LEP that introduce controls more restrictive than those in the current LEP and associated DCP. The controls in the current LEP and DCP restrict the form and location of dwellings in the immediate impact area and provide for planned retreat. The proposed controls remove new housing potential and further restrict opportuni-

ties for current land owners to reasonably use their land. As such the inclusion of these provisions in the draft LEP is not supported, particularly in the absence of an endorsed Coastline Management Plan.

Secondary dwellings in rural areas The North Coast Regional Environmental Plan (REP) and Far North Coast Regional Strategy provide clear guidance on planning for dwellings in rural and environmental zones. Clauses 21 and 22 of the REP outline the policy provisions for dwellings in rural areas. In general the REP requires that only one dwelling should be erected upon a lot, and the minimum lot size should be specified within the LEP. The Department has considered the use of ‘secondary

dwellings’ in rural areas. The use of detached secondary dwellings is not considered appropriate in rural areas, as it creates the potential for subdivision applications below prevailing development standards. Accordingly this land use is not supported in RU or E zones. It is difficult to justify rural secondary dwellings on the basis of affordable housing, given the transport costs of living out of town. While housing affordability and diversity within the LGA are legitimate aims, and rural residential development is recognised as a housing choice, it should be catered for strategically, and contained in zones based on areas of least environmental, economic and social cost. Resolution of the above policy issues are prerequisites to enable the Department to progress the LEP through to certification. Accordingly, could you please revise the draft LEP in accordance with the above advice. I have asked the Regional Director of the Department’s Northern Region to continue to provide support and advice to Byron Shire Council and to address the remaining minor drafting and mapping matters. I would like to see the draft plan on public exhibition within the next few months and to this end the Department will seek to develop an implementation program with Council.

Pathways to Manhood NORTH COAST NSW PROGRAM 28th Sept – 3rd October The Pathways Foundation is a National Harm Prevention Charity that assists young people make the fundamental emotional shift from being a child to becoming a young adult. The way Pathways does this is by providing contemporary, community based Rites of Passage for boys and girls.

A L L YO U R C OA STA L E N T E RTA I N M E N T In a few weeks from now local singer songwriter Susanna Carman heads back to the US for a series of house concerts. Carman has developed her own signature style, reflected in her debut release Holy some 12 months back. Returning to play her homeland is easy for Carman as she has a ready made fan base. ‘I have family in the States and they have distributed my music to their communities and some of them are network hubs. This tour is like the last push to support the album before I go back into the studio to do the next one. I am concentrating on finding little niche markets in an effort to build a grassroots audience.’ Carman’s three week tour of the west coast takes in Seattle, Ashland, San Francisco and San Diego in a series of low key house concerts. ‘House concerts are the best way to connect with people – it hasn’t really happened too much here, the album is so intimate and the way I perform the songs is so exposing – it doesn’t work to do that at a pub.. ‘Not everyone wants to drink alcohol and smoke cigarettes – they might want to sit and have a cup of tea or glass of wine. People want to be touched, they want to be moved not just entertained. There is more opportunity to achieve that in an intimate setting, when people feel touched they end up buying more albums. ‘ As an artist Carman sees herself as a storyteller. ‘It’s a big part of what I do – storytelling – and it takes me

back to roots music which is storytelling.’ Sussana is donating some of the proceeds of her house concerts to the communities where she performs. ‘The house concerts to me are part of the grass roots movement to have organic and authentic music in a home and community building so I can support those communities that are coming to see me.’ A mother of a two year old, her three week trip overseas is the first time she’s been childless since the birth. ‘Going for three weeks without my baby and husband, is scary and exciting.’ Carman credits the birth of her child as uncapping her creativity and allowing her to focus her energy on her talents. ‘I had a very slow development, and then my husband died when I turned 30, that’s when I dropped everything, I just threw the towel in, life stopped for four years. When my daughter was born, I had a surge of energy, I recorded and released the album, I suppose you could say I am a late bloomer.’ Having a child changes everything about being a musician. ‘When you have a child you can’t be living out of your car and touring, it has to be about where the child is with the creative passion focused right alongside that. I am selective about where I play.’ Susanna Carman also plays the Mullumbimby Music Festival, 26 – 29 November as one of the many talented local acts gracing the bill this year. For more information on early

bird ticket sales and local line up go to the web on www. mullummusicfestival.com Those locals already on the bill are: Wild Marmalade, Fyah Walk, The Blue Hulas, Perch Creek

soAP boX Mandy Nolan

Madonna loves Jesus Hold the press, re-write the bible. Madonna is going out with Jesus. I’m not talking the Holy Mother here, I’m talking about the 52 year old role model for ball breakers. Madonna Like A Virgin but not a Virgin Ciccone. I was sitting in a doctor’s surgery seeking assistance for my tooth abscess when I spied the story in a trash mag. The material girl has finally found her soul mate and in doing so she has fulfilled the Oedipal prophecy: that when it comes to relationship most men are looking for their mummies and most women are looking for their sons. Frankly I’m impressed. It reinforces that you just can’t breastfeed ‘em for too long. But Madonna, what a legend. That woman has the stamina of an Olympic athlete. On steroids. Personally, I couldn’t be bothered. I think I’d rather let myself go and stick to old men. Unlike Madonna I don’t have the desire to nab a 20 year old boy. It’s not that I don’t think they’re lovely, but I fear I won’t have the energy to stay up late watching surf videos or have enough cereal to sustain the relationship. I would find it difficult to curb my motherly tendency to choose his clothes, pack a cut lunch and clean his face with a saliva dabbed handkerchief. Besides that, the things I like to do on weekends just don’t appeal to a 22 year old bloke. Under 11 girls soccer, a trip to IKEA, a grocery shop at Woolies followed by a drivethru burger snatch at Maccas, and a night on the couch with the kids for Australia’s Funniest Home Videos, just

doesn’t light the match to a few lines of coke, a tab of E and a night of clubbing. The closest I’ve come to clubbing is in the bathroom at 3am the other morning belting the crap out of the cockroach I found sucking the sweetness from my wet toothbrush. I wonder how a middle aged woman talks to her young toy boy. God knows women love to talk. I imagine Madonna and her young Jesus lying in bed together, two sculpted bodies (one by DNA, one by surgeons). They have that post coital glow. Kind of like halos I suppose. Women like conversation after sex. A chance to get more intimate. Closer. To extend that knowing of each other. To roll back every stone, even if it does take three days. Men like to sleep. They cannot be woken from the dead. So I imagine Madonna, the queen of the cougars purring ‘How was that?’ ‘Random.’ I suppose you’d expect your Jesus to say ‘Miraculous’ and after he was spent have the godly ability to come again. I suppose that’s why Madonna has got herself a young man. He’s at least still capable of a second coming. But the chances are slim. I wouldn’t want to be going out with Jesus. I’d be nervous. I wouldn’t want him near my nice homewares. ‘For god’s sake, Jesus, stop wiping your face on the tea towels!’ There is so much judgement for women who date younger men. It must be confronting to meet the parents. Especially when you’re older than them. Imagine the scenario: ‘Madonna I’d like you to meet my mother… Madonna, and this is my Dad… God.’

The Shape You’re In Shapeshifter hit the road in what will be their first outings after being holed up recording studio album number four, which they will be previewing along with the classic material that has made them essential food for die-hard DnB fans but also a mainstay on the Australian live music circuit. Last year’s shows sold out across the country and earned them a swag of new fans. Speaking of new fans, their live album last year showed us just how great arrangements, powerful song writing, razor-sharp performances and killer engineering can make a live album really work. Shapeshifter’s current studio album Soulstice has a star lineup featuring Shapeshifter’s artistic talents and features vocals from some of New Zealand’s finest. It was released in the UK in December 2008 as a deluxe edition with remixes by D-Bridge (Exit Records), Hospital’s soulful star Nu:Tone, The Upbeats and The Nextmen. Music Week described the album as ‘A Treat For drum and bass addicts requiring emotional substance.’ Catch them at the Hotel Great Northern on Wednesday. If you’re quick you might even win one of our double passes to their show in the Seven Giveaway.

de-force that’s made jaws drop at festivals around the globe like Glastonbury, Splendour in the Grass and more. Interweaving nimble-fingered musicianship, socio-political messages, humour, good vibes and just pure energetic intensity, Nathan Kaye’s performance will draw you in make you laugh, make you think and make you groove! If you’ve been astounded by other one-man band performers, Nathan takes coordination to a whole new level with ease. Add the talents of world class band members in his Kollective from bands such as The Beautiful Girls, Blue King Brown, The Whitlams, Machine Translations, The Red Eyes as well as his beloved band the Dreamseeds and it takes the vibe to a whole new level of high! Friday at the Hotel Great Northern at 9.30pm.

Swing it Baby Embracing the rockabilly revival, Ku Promotions are thrilled to announce the arrival of Toowoomba’s Cool Nights Big Band on Wednesday September 23 at the Mullumbimby Civic Hall. The band is made up of musicians

from all walks of life with a passion for big band music. This Big Band draws the most advanced musicians from the Toowoomba community to regular rehearsals and gigs. Cool Nights Big Band is one of the hardest working big bands in the country, performing over 30 shows a year with professionals such as Ralph Pyl (Sydney All Star Big Band), George Golla, Malcolm Wood, Craig Atkinson (Ten Tenors), Sharny Russell van Herp, Bob Montgomery and Al Herman (Bob Montgomery / Al Herman Quintet USA) & John Zappia. Don’t miss out!!!

An itch for Bowditch There is something addictive about the music of Clare Bowditch. In late 2008 Clare slayed a European tour with fellow Aussie and ARIA winner, Goyte, and then set up shop in that greatest of artistic cities, Berlin. Clare’s forthcoming album is still being recorded with Melbourne’s cut and paste maestro, Qua. Then after yet another European tour, Clare will be recreating David Bowie’s amazing vocal sound from ‘Heroes in Berlin’s famous Hansa Studios, with Mocky at

the helm. Audiences around the country get a taste of Ms Bowditch’s latest creative Sunday September 27 at the Mullumbimby Civic Hall. Tix available online from www. kupromotions.oztix.com.au and in person at Barebones Bangalow, Mullum Books and All Music and Vision Stores Byron, Bangalow and Lismore.

Rock N Roll Revival Spiritually enlightened by their second mammoth tour of Canada, the North Coast’s own country rock and roll revivalists return with a new album, Inland Sea, for two shows next weekend, eighteen thousand kilometres across six provinces can do funny things to a band, and the sight of so much wilderness, so many bears and the odd wolf, has honed The Re-Mains into a tighter, meaner four-piece of evangelical rock and rollers such as hasn’t been seen since they closed down the Winsome Hotel in Lismore after Mazstock. Taller, tauter, more terrific, come see the country rock and roll revival at the Nimbin Hotel on Friday night, and the Lennox Point Hotel on Saturday. A free stubby

holder for everyone who buys an album and screams ‘country rock and roll is my salvation’.

Completely Mental Back in the 80s Mental As Anything emerged as the poster boys for garage pop. Quirky, iconic and outright Aussie their career spans three decades and as a band they boast some of the highest selling album sales of any Australian band.

Their legacy was recognised recently when they were inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame. Bangalow Bowlo on Thursday at 8pm.

Playtime for Aspiring Musos Summersong Music Camp is now in its eleventh year, proving that musicians not only benefit from gathering together and sharing their knowledge, they thrive on it.

El Mariachi Liquid is opening its doors for innovative new ventures. One such evening, planned for Thursday September 17 is El Mariachi – a showcase of burlesque and rock ‘n’ roll tied together by a Spanish flavour. The show will open with local

grunge rockers White Bats followed by headlining act The Protectors hailing from Sydney. An arty yet kinky style burlesque act from Byron Bay’s own Shaney Simpson aka Lolita la Bandita will end the night with a grand finale of sultry Spanish appeal! El Mariachi has been inspired by similar style music events and deems to target the youth culture of Byron Bay and surrounding areas with aims to support underground emerging musicians and artists as well as providing a fantastic night of entertainment. 9pm – just $10.

Nightcap with The Whitlams The Whitlams make a rare appearance at the Great Northern on Friday September 18. The band is excited to be returning to a room where they were something of a fixture in the mid-90s.This show will see

the band play the album Eternal Nightcap in its entirety, followed by a set of other favourites. It has been twelve years since the release of their classic breakthrough album which was their third album and led them to win Best Group at the 1998 ARIA Awards. Last year in ABC TV’s vote for the nation’s favourite 100 albums of all time it polled at No. 27. The Whitlams are one of Australia’s seminal bands. With lyrics described as having a ‘charming cynicism’ and enhanced by an instinct for poignant melody, they won Best Group at the 1998 ARIA Awards, as well as Song of the Year and Best Independent Release for their 3rd album ‘Eternal Nightcap’. The current lineup has remained unchanged for the last eight years and five albums, and consists of Tim Freedman on piano and vocals, Jak Housden on guitar, Warwick Hornby

It has been described by Tim Freedman as his ‘ultimate Whitlams mixtape.’

Man with Soul The wellknown Byron Bay based musician Soulman O’Gaia has evolved a songwriting style that combines rare optimism and self disclosure with an upbeat dance vibe and an infectious smile. It’s a heady brew from one of the most soulful voices this side of Atlantic records. O’Gaia started out busking around Byron shires markets in the 90s and has since garnered

many accolades including performing and appearing on recordings alongside John Butler, Paul Kelly, Kasey Chambers, Xavier Rudd and Pete Murray. He, stomps, boogies, strums and sings with inimitable style to the euphoric close of every show and has an unusual flair for interacting with audiences. Thursday at Lennox Pub.

Fun & Games It seems hard to believe that one year of work would result in just a one minute sequence in a major feature film, but that is how it was for Jim Dodd when he worked as Sequence Lead on Happy Feet. Screenworks decided to share this information with the local screen industry and interested public and have invited this hot shot young animator and a dynamic young Games Artist to town to explain what is involved in making Games and Animations. Games and Animation Session at SAE on Saturday from 3.30 – 5.30pm. Jim will show examples and excerpts from the films he has worked on and discuss opportunities in the industry. Joining him will be 3D artist modeller Rupert Lewis-Jones who worked on the popular games Avatar and Reservoir Dogs.

our best work to date. I am still working with Noel, although obviously not as often because of the distance, our next gig together is in late October for Dustones 4th birthday party. Q: Is the Castle party

finished for good and why? A: ‘At this point we are, but any hiatus ends at some point, basically the last party was just too out of control and we just didn’t want to fence everything off, heavy security road, which is a real pity but honestly the outdoor party scene here has lost perspective in a lot of ways. I always enjoyed these events for the freedom to do anything you liked, but there was also a real concern for the wellbeing of everyone else around you and that’s what made it so special, a feeling of inclusion and togetherness, and I feel that the Castle had lost that and was becoming dangerous. At that point you just have to leave it, if you don’t feel good about what you are creating then it will never work anyway.’ Q: Is there any electronica

well this year, Noel Boogie, Jamie Lloyd and Lippo will all be performing. But the highlight will no doubt be Hugh Masekela, a jazz funk legend (the guy used to hang with Dizzy Gillespie); I will be waiting side of stage to get my copy of “grazing in the grass” signed.’ Q: Who should go to

Quentin Jones Old Man and Sea (Olive Cotton)

Who was Olive Cotton? For the last five years, one of the most excitedly anticipated exhibitions at Tweed River Art Gallery has been the Olive Cotton Award for Photographic Portraiture. From now on, the award will be only every second year, but it will be even more attractive for photographers: the $10,000 first prize will become $20,000. Who was Olive Cotton? Simply put, she was an extraordinary photographer. From the time when, as an eleven year old girl, she was given her aunt’s old Kodak Box Brownie until her death at the age of 92, Cotton captured images of her world. In a tribute at the time of her death in 2003 ABC radio interviewed Helen Ennis, Associate Professor of Art Theory at the ANU. ‘I think Olive is a great Australian modernist. Her modernism is finely nuanced. … I think the kind of gentleness and the originality that she brings to her work ensures that she deserves a really important place as one of our leading photographers from that modern period.’ Cotton grew up on 20 acres of family bushland at Hornsby on Sydney’s north. After graduating with a BA from Sydney University, she eschewed teaching to work as a professional photography assistant in the Sydney studio of Max Dupain – whom, later, she briefly married. Professional photography was male dominated territory. But Cotton quietly pursued and perfected her art, throughout her time in Sydney and all the years after 1946 when she went to live in Cowra and raise a family with her farmer husband Ross McInerney. Her subjects are diverse: the natural world, the built landscape, people, still life. Always the play of light and shade. Always clarity of image, and, even in the most dramatic (like Soaring Bird 1993), a kind of serenity. Her legacy is remarkable. While this year’s judge of the Olive Cotton Award, respected photographer Dean Sewell, could obviously only choose one winner (Richard O’Farrell with Savitri) he also Highly Commended four finalists. And one of them was Byron Bay photographer Alberto Sanchez-Peinador with ‘Frank’, taken on a recent trip to his native Madrid.

Doug Bartlett, Your Absolutely Beautiful (Retrospect Galleries)

Their Pop Art exhibition, Global Boom, opens at Retrospect Galleries on September 24. The night before, September 23, the gallery will host an event at Why Not Café: ‘In Conversation’ with Doug Bartlett. It’s a tantalising proposition. Doug Bartlett already has a web page. But a live appearance?? If it’s anything like his art work, his conversation should be marvellously entertaining: bold and persuasive. Tickets $40: two course meal, glass of wine, and preview of the exhibition.

Next year is diploma year. ‘There’s always an end of year exhibition at TAFE and I will definitely have a look next year at doing something again in a professional space.’ Nella Bellamy Love minus Zero (Eight of Us)

It’s a tough time for artists, here and abroad. But the Federal Government has offered an incentive to particular buyers. Small businesses can claim a tax deduction of 50 per cent of the cost of eligible assets acquired by December 31 this year. And that includes art works. Now Retrospect Galleries’ Director, Bree Delian, has boosted the stakes: a further 10% discount to local businesses in Byron, Ballina, Lismore or Tweed shires that meet the minimum cost stipulations. Small businesses with a turnover less than $2 million need to spend more than $1,000 on an art work. Those with more than $2 million turnover need to spend more than $10,000.

The Young Victoria Contemporary photographs of the widowed, black-shrouded Queen Victoria near the end of her sixty-year reign depict a humourless and scary old battleaxe. Who would have thunk it that, as a teenager about to become Britain’s monarch, she was a good sort, vivacious and rebellious. The captivating Emily Blunt has forced me to make a reappraisal of an entire era, and Rupert Friend’s Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg is easy on the eye as well, the pair combining to banish our later, more brazen age’s dismissal of them as dowdy stiffs. From now on I will regard them

fondly as star–crossed lovers from the same storybook as Romeo and Juliet, Abelard and Heloise and John and Yoko. By all accounts, the feisty Victoria was no shrinking violet at Court (is it anachronistic to credit her with feminist ideals? or culturally egocentric to not?), to the point that her headstrong refusal to have any truck with appointments made to the Royal Household by Sir Robert Peel, who had deposed her favourite, Lord Melbourne (Paul Bettany), as PM, led directly to a constitutional crisis. Other matters are dealt with (an assassination attempt, social upheaval caused by the industrial revolution), but it is the everlasting bond between Victoria and Albert that is of primary interest. Writers, if thought of at all by cinemagoers, would come a distant fourth behind stars, directors and soundtracks, but it all starts with them. It’s possible to make a lousy movie out of a fine script but infinitely harder to achieve the opposite.

The Taking Of Pelham 123 Ridley is the really famous one, but brother Tony Scott is a highly regarded director too, his long and imposing CV including the unspeakably FULLY AIR-CONDITIONED EVERY WED ALL SEATS ALL SESSIONS $8 ONLY

rotten Top Gun’(1986). What sets his remake of the 1974 Robert Shaw movie apart from your run of the mill action/suspense number is the input of John Travolta and Denzel Washington. Travolta is sensational as Ryder, an embittered Wall Street Travis Bickle, whose crew of whackos hijack a train on the New York Subway. Washington is the family guy who had no idea what the day had in store for him when he got up that morning, but finds himself negotiating with Ryder to save the lives of the hostages. The race through the great metropolis to deliver $10 million in bank notes demanded by Ryder as ransom before he executes another passenger is a classic example of what can happen when the big-bang boys are given too much money to play with – then again, if you’ve got the bucks and the knowhow, why not trash a couple of police cars and a yellow cab, just for the hell of it? Love them or loathe them, the skills involved in choreographing these awesome prangs is nothing to be sneezed at – it’s just a pity that the revheads who try to emulate such driving in real life usually come up dead.

This film is based on the Booker prize winning novel by J.M. Coetzee. David Lurie (John Malkovich) is a dissatisfied English professor in postapartheid South Africa, who finds his life falling apart. When he seduces one of his students, Melanie (Antoinette Engel) and does nothing to protect himself from the consequences, he is dismissed from his teaching position. Directed and adapted by the husband and wife team who brought us the quirky and accessible La Spagnola in 2001, Steve Jacobs and Anna-Maria Monticelli have a profound grasp of the subject matter, resulting in a mature, thought provoking work that resonates. The film surprises at every turn, it takes you where you least expect to be taken. ~ Lounge Cinema

gripping, beautifully filmed and faultlessly enacted drama. ~ John Campbell

www.dendy.com.au

Quebecois director Jean-Marc Vallee’s screenplay is the work of Julian Fellowes, who was also responsible for Robert Altman’s Gosford Park and the adaptation of Thackeray for Mira Nair’s glorious Vanity Fair (in which Fellowes clearly thought as highly of Becky Sharpe as he did of Victoria). With that in mind‌ and you’ll have to bear with me‌ when Vic and Berty come together for a waltz at the Coronation ball, well, it is by a country mile the most romantic thing that I’ve seen on screen since Rhys Wakefield secretly snogged Gemma Ward at the swimming pool in The Black Balloon – and it highlights how tenderness has been the prime casualty in today’s acerbic, avowedly unsentimental representations of relationships. This is boy meets girl, heart and soul, and you’d be in a pretty crook way if you were unable to luxuriate in it. It’s is one of those movies that fly by without you noticing, and is surprisingly affecting to boot. ~ John Campbell

fakery he witnesses in the dark can be bewildering‌ Army snipers are deployed to take up positions as close as possible to the carriage held by the gang. One of them, a black guy (is that significant? Or just a suitable topic for an academic’s commissioned, cliched essay on racial stereotypes?), takes aim at Ryder’s right-hand man, but holds his fire. A rat crawls up his leg and bites him, causing him to discharge his gun. The bullet goes clean through his target’s skull, right between the eyes. I loved it ‌ and wanted it. A worry, huh? What I considered gratuitous, though, was the violence as pornography indulged in at the shoot out that saw the two ‘lesser’ crooks, the doomed ones who looked like unhinged Moslems, pulped by endless automatic gunfire. But that’s the thing with the genre – you’ve got to grin and bear it when the time comes for the nongs’ blazing finale and get as much as you can out of, what is in this case, a

He makes it look so easy – he even makes it sound easy. There he is on the jacket of his book Wild Weed Pie: Greek chef Janni Kyritsis smiling broadly as his hands hold up a flimsy loop of pastry, almost ephemeral. And not one of his solid, practical directions – stir, knead, cut, stretch – begin to betray the complexity of the process. I like nothing more than a cooking challenge but I draw the line at making my own filo pastry. A Sydney friend once told me that she had done so. She described an enormous table and a very long rolling pin; the need to keep rolling a simple enough dough until it was as fine as tissue paper; how she was shown to place her hands carefully, barely daring to breathe, beneath the rolled-out dough then lift and stretch so that it became finer still. Nerve-wracking, is how she described it, with tiny rents appearing periodically which then had to be mended. Having done it once was enough for her to know that, ever after, she could buy it ready-made and packaged up with impunity because at least she could say that she had made it. I know no other person who has attempted to make filo pastry. Most people associate it with dishes of Middle Eastern or Greek provenance – like Spanakopita or Baklava – and to be sure it is used in many of the cuisines of the former Ottoman Empire.

Generally made from just flour, water, salt and a little oil, it is sometimes enriched with egg as well. Its healthy, low-fat qualities are of course completely ruined by the common use of melted butter between each fragile sheet as you build up the strengthening layers. Although some chefs do use olive oil – and in fact a recent recipe I read suggested one of those olive oil sprays. (My lip curled.) Brushing the delicate translucent sheets – the Greek word fyllo means leaf – with nut-gold butter and arranging the layers gently one on top of the other is an immensely soothing, satisfying experience. Most recipes call for the sheets you are not using to be covered with a damp cloth in order not to dry out; I find that if you work quickly enough this is not necessary. One of the best Spanakopita – Spinach and Cheese Pie – recipes I have come across, and use frequently, is Stephanie Alexander’s from her inimitable The Cook’s Companion – although Janni Kyritsis’ Wild Weed Pie with its glorious filling of chicory, silverbeet, sorrel and Greek oregano and its pleated filo topping comes a close second. Baklava is the well-known Turkish nut pastry drenched in syrup, almost cloyingly sweet although lovely with a short dark espresso at a meal’s end, just one lozenge-shaped diamond.

into its classic shape. I confess to a fondness for Sara Lea croissants; it’s a standing source of family amusement the way the pronunciation on their packaging used to insist on croiss-ahn. (They no longer do, presumably feeling that they have sufficiently educated the consumer.) A great deal of skill and patience are needed, I gather, to make these pastries – and yet I plan to, the prospect of extracting a tray-load of fragrant homemade golden crisp and buttery croissants from my oven too alluring to resist.

FATBELLYKAT TURNS 6

AT THE CHEFS TABLE

FatBellyKat in Brunswick Heads has just turned the impressive age of six years old – and it’s a testament as much to chef Katerina’s fantastic modern Greek food as to husband Damien’s impeccable front-of-house skills that they have lasted this long – not only in the cutthroat restaurant industry but also given their location in an unprepossessing motel away from the hub of Bruns. After all this time they have finally been granted a liquor licence – so there’s yet another good reason to make the restaurant your next dining destination. They are at 26 Tweed Street, and open from Wednesday through to Sunday for dinner only. Bookings are advisable on 6685 1100.

For anyone who might have been suffering withdrawal symptoms since television’s MasterChef ended, there will be an opportunity in October to indulge in a Chefs Table at Sanctuary Cove with MasterChef judges Gary Mehigan and George Calombaris. Running over Friday 9, Saturday 10 and Sunday 11, the event will feature three lunches and two dinners served up by the two chefs: three-course meals accompanied by matching wines. Held in conjunction with the Good Food and Wine Show, it will take place at the Hyatt Regency, with tickets costing $225 for lunch and $250 for dinner. And if you wish to stay the night there are special Chefs

<echowebsection=Eating Out Guide>

The other complicated pastry my brave Sydney friend boasted about making was croissants. And despite most recipes requiring about two days over which they are constructed I am – unlike my attitude to filo pastry – quite undaunted. Croissants, those flaky buttery crescents as ubiquitous now on cafe breakfast menus as muffins, are a type of puff pastry whose yeast dough is layered with obscene quantities of butter, rolled and folded, rolled and folded, rolled and folded and ultimately curled carefully

Junior Giants get ready for finals

Mullum tennis club’s new ‘do’

McDonalds Meats U12 won their major semi final on Saturday in a hard fought game of skill and determination against great rivals Bilambil. The boys had victory on their minds and this showed by how they held Bilambil off in the first half. Defence was oustanding, Jake Forrester-Oxley pushing through the defence, Tom O’Shea in nearly full field dash, Sam Batson leading the pack. All the boys had an exceptional game and now must face off against Minor Premiers Raiders after their 6-0 win. The Byron Shire Real Estate U14s lost their Major Semi Final against Tugun going down 18-6. The boys were held out by a determined Tugun side and must aim hogher this weekened against South Tweed to be in the running for the Grand Final being held at Mullumbimby. The New Brighton Store U16s lost their Semi Final against Tugun. The boys had a hard game with a determined

Tugun wanting the win. Ball errors and general mistakes cost the boys their finals chance. Josh Thomas had an outstanding game as hooker, Brock Carruth ran through the defences and Tom Williamson never gave up and chasing many players across the field. A big Hooray for Matt Mutkins finalling scoring a try and to Jake Mulders for his tremendous try as well as Sean Watkins. Many of these boys will now head towards the seniors competition and the junior club wishes the boys every success in the future. The junior club also wishes to thank all the teams for their efforts this year, and hope to see you next year. The club are holding the Group 18 Grand Final at Mullumbimby Football Fields on September 26and the organisers are extending a warm welcome for everyone to come along and watch some of the best junior rugby league you will ever see.

Ten years have past and many balls have been hit since the artificial grass surface on the six courts of the Mullum Tennis Centre was originally laid. The club is now pleased to announce that the courts have been resurfaced. With the help of grants from Byron Council

and Dept of Sports and Recreation and the club itself acquiring a loan from the Southern Cross Credit Union, the new surface, as well as new lighting on three of the courts, has been carried out over the past few months and to celebrate the new look, the club will be

holding a gala day on Saturday September 19 for everyone in the community to come along to the courts for a visit and see the facelift for themselves. The festivities will start at 2pm and will include a jumping castle, face painting, kids tennis coaching, live music

and tennis displays along with other many other activities. For all the goss on what’s new at the club and to see a preview of the celebrations for the gala day, watch out for the Mullum Tennis Club feature in next week’s Echo and get those racquets slapping!

Junior Pies one step closer to final Shand series sees Arm over Tossers Brian Mollet

The Byron Jay Junior AFL Magpies U14s are one step closer to the regional Grand Finals after a hard won victory over the Lower Clarence Eagles on Sunday. After losing to the Eagles last month, the Magpies returned to Maclean with determination and the fitness coming from a dedicated training regime. The Eagles, who proved to be formidable competitors this year, were equally determined, and the result was a fast paced, hard fought game of footy that drew crowd re-

sponses rivalling that of a big day at the MCG. The Eagles fought hard, staying ahead in the first quarter, and by second half it was still a very tight contest with the Magpies struggling to work the ball to the Maclean goal posts. But with a knock-out looming Byron came back strong in the third quarter and quickly took control of the game with a fast, coordinated effort. The Eagles made sure it was not a walk in the park with constant aggressive attacks and a furious rate of play, hit-

ting back with fourth quarter goals to keep tension and spirits high, but in the end they couldn’t overcome the steady hard hitting response from the Byron team. The game closed with Byron Bay’s 14.9.93 besting the Eagles’ 10.7.67. With the flag now in reach, the Magpies returned home tired, exuberant and even more committed to keep up the good work in the weeks ahead. With the finals to be held at Shultz Oval, Bangalow, this season promises to end with a rather large bang.

Bangalow to face Yamba in final Bangalow will play Yamba this Saturday at 12pm at Crozier Field Lismore, in the 2009 Village Competition Grand Final. Yamba played Kyogle on the weekend to earn their spot, with a comprehensive second half performance nullifying Kyogle’s narrow lead at half time. It will be Bangalow’s fifth straight Grand Final win if they bring home the trophy. The team is finally looking

settled and prepared after an underachieving year. If Yamba secure enough good ball their classy backs will be a handful. Bangalows forwards will need to step up and control the game. Yamba will be looking to their fly half for his kicking abilities and their outside centre to get them over the advantage line. Bangalow will be looking to their aggressive tight five, tireless loosies and experienced centre pairing.

Yamba have a point to prove coming down from grade this year and Bangalow have always fancied their chances competing in grade. With many believing the Village Competition is only a game for old men running on bunged up knees, this game should put that theory to bed. There will be a supporters bus leaving the major sponsor, the Bangalow Hotel at 11pm sharp. Get behind your local team. Go Bangalow!

The Nick Shand series is the last word in the local social cricket argument, and the real prize for the winners, apart from brief possession of the trophy and a sip of red wine, is the right to rest on your laurels for the rest of the year and feel good about yourself, however unjustified that may be. Main Arm took the prize last year, but folded flaccidly in their first outing, and the Byron FullTossers have been the dominant team so far, sweeping aside opposition like a state government with a rally to stage. Greg of the Arm won the toss and with the wind lashing Lomath Oval from the southwest he invited the Tossers to bat, knowing his team has more swingers on the books than a sanyassin commune. Old workhorses Baz and Brian soon had the new ball snapping from side to side of the field like a belly dancer’s navel jewel. Baz held a caught and bowled and Brian was scattering stumps like a D9 in the Amazon rainforest, the Tossers teetering to 3-3 in the third. Chi and Jeff played steadily to advance the score to 36 before Greg, like a poltergeist, rearranged Jeff ’s furniture and then fired in a throw to run out Shawshank. After the break Chi went on to 31 with Ash doing well at the other end. Bourkey’s spinners were fizzing like a pack of peppermints dropped in a bottle of coke, he grabbed Ash’s scalp and proved about as playable as a commodore 64 game card. Alex played a solid knock at the death but Bruce, Eden and Seymour used the breeze well and between them pulled out more curlies than the Wax Room in Byron. The Tossers batting lineup that till now had blown the opposition away like a 9am chorus of leaf blowers had been rolled for 116.

Futsal Local Futsal player Nat Caldwell has just returned from Brazil as one of two Australian goal keepers who attended the Vikings Australian Futsal tour. Players were selected from

across Australia and Nat was the only player selected from NSW. Originally the tour was to include Chile and Argentina but due to the swine flu outbreaks; the tour was confined to the south of Brazil. Nat’s playing highlight of the tour was in the first game – a friendly against Brazil in Vernopolis, where he was chosen by the Brazil side to play as their Goal Keeper. Nat conceded one goal to his fellow Aussies, his Brazilian team winning the game. Nat now wears his goal keeping shirt from that game proudly.

At the resumption, Bourkey bashed Alex over the midwicket boundary but a few balls later was on his way back to the sheds. Guru and Levi bowled some lively mediums while at the other end Shoreshank popped out lovely leggies one after the other, like a chorus line at the Moulin Rouge. By the time drinks it was too close to call at 4-45. Jan put in a lively spell and claimed Baz, and then Joffrey fell chasing runs as the required rate, like a council contribution, began to rise. Brian and Greg were sitting in the lower order and although Brian showed more wild swings than an Italian general election he managed to find the middle of the bat with annoying regularity. Dane and Kyle hung around and scrambled hard to offer support, and big chunks fell off the moderate total. Brian retired unbeaten on 35 and exited to rapturous applause, most of it in his head. Main Arm won with three overs and two wickets in

hand, preventing the Tossers from posting a perfect record in the round robin phase of the series. Next Sunday will see the Arm wrestling the Geckos.

Last week’s solution

Mungo’s Crossword first published in The Week.

ARIES: Your boss planet Mars in the sign of sensitivity can be prickly and reactive, so if you find yourself wound up and trying to force issues then ease off and step back. Harmonious outcomes are more likely to come from understanding yourself than blaming others.

CANCER: With present configurations energizing your domestic area, avoid flammable situations and don’t fuel disputes – concentrate on the best ways to make a fresh start. This week’s astrally designed to help you let go of ideas that may have worked in the past but don’t any more.

TAURUS: Midweek moon in Taurus amplifies your confidence and can-do attitude for reworking shifting circumstances into a brave new shape, while this week’s menu features creative self expression and suggests successfully sourcing helpful connections through socialising – just how auspicious is that?

LEO: This week purses its lips at unnecessary spending, says no to overindulgence, wants bills paid and paperwork attended to. Losing the will to live? Don’t, because Friday delivers a juicy boost to your popularity and gives the cosmic nod to a well deserved stress-relieving splurge…

GEMINI: Uphill battles, complex involvements and complicated situations are tremendously draining, so why not choose the path of least resistance over the hard yards while this week completes some things, initiates others, and keeps you busy brokering workplace and interpersonal agreements.

VIRGO: Mercury your ruling planet retrograde could make you impatient with this week’s irritatingly inconsistent citizens, but your key to current success is keeping proceedings pleasant for everyone. Most exasperating day for business is likely to be Wednesday and best people day Friday.

One of the attractions of chess is the possibility of playing a game which will be replayed and remembered long after tournament results are forgotten. Two games from the 1850s by Adolf Anderssen, dubbed the Immortal and the Evergreen, are regularly republished, and German Grandmaster Robert Huebner once published an essay of more than 20 pages trying to determine whether or not Anderssen’s multiple sacrifices in the Immortal Game were objectively correct. Modern brilliancies have to pass an even tougher test – the instant assessments of soundness provided by computer programs. At the annual Youth versus Experience match which concluded this week in Amsterdam, local Grandmaster Daniel Stellwagen had the chance to win a modern immortal game but, after sacrificing two knights, failed to find the additional sacrifice of bishop and rook which
