WORLD OF WORDCRAFT

Sand ‘village’ washed away Keneally calls in West Byron lands

Story & photo Eve Jeffery

The 350.org is an international campaign dedicated to building a movement to unite the world around solutions to the climate crisis. The mission of the group is to inspire the world to rise to the challenge of the climate crisis, the focus being the number 350 which is the number of parts per million, the level scientists have identified as the safe upper limit for CO2 in our atmosphere. It is believed that we have passed that limit with the current levels reportedly at 390 ppm with estimated 2ppm increase every year from now on.

In December, world leaders will meet in Copenhagen, to craft a new global treaty on cutting emissions. In order to unite the public, media, and political leaders behind the 350 goal, the group organised, via the internet, a planetary day of action where over 5,000 rallies took place including events at hundreds of iconic places around the world – from the Taj Mahal to the Great Barrier Reef and the Main Beach at Byron Bay. Locally, Emma Briggs got the idea to build sand castles on Byron’s Main Beach to attract attention to the issue. ‘The idea is that people all over the world will take photos of their local

action,’ said Ms Briggs ‘The photos will be included in a book which will be presented to the world leaders at the event in Copenhagen.’ A small band of concerned people gathered at Main Beach to build the sand castles and the spectacle created a lot of interest, especially from visitors to the area. The little sand village then fell victim to a ‘tsunami’, the expected outcome of continued global warming. ‘We hope that meeting in Copenhagen will listen to our global voice. This event is part of the most widespread political action ever.’ See more at www.350.org.

Council knocks back Optus tower for Mullum Byron Shire councillors voted unanimously last week to refuse Optus’s 20m high telco tower planned for Mullumbimby. They based their refusal on five reasons prepared by staff, which included the tower’s proposed location on a ridgeline, its height, and public resistance to the proposal. During public access Optus project

manager Peter Collie and town planner Petra Kovac addressed Council for the proposal. Ms Kovac said the tower would be part of a major rollout of the 3G network and would upgrade facilities and improve coverage. ‘We try to avoid sensitive locations,’ she said. ‘We have met all the regulatory requirements and we try to miti-

gate environmental impacts.’ Adam Boyd spoke on behalf of residents ‘who live near the proposed Optus Tower on Coolamon Scenic Drive. We maintain that the development application submitted by Optus is poorly planned, unsound and misleading… continued on page 5

NSW planning minister Kristina Keneally has called in as a ‘potential state significant site’ urban release lands at West Byron which have been sitting on Council’s backburner. The landowners went to the Minister after failing to convince Council to include them for rezoning in the current draft Local Environmental Plan (LEP). In March this year Keneally urged Council to move lands under investigation for development at West Byron into the upcoming Local environmental Plan (LEP). The land in question runs along the south side of Ewingsdale Road from Belongil Creek out to the Sunnybrand chicken plant, some 106 hectares in all. The landowners, under the umbrella of the West Byron Landowners Group, include the Belongil Fields owners and Crighton Properties, a Central Coast development company. In late April Byron Shire councillors rejected a staff recommendation to include the Belongil Fields parcel in the LEP. Instead, they voted

for Council officers to meet with the landowners and proponents of the proposed LEP amendment for the Belongil Fields ‘to inform them of recent studies and reports that present constraints and restrictions to the future development of those lands’, such as the related traffic study, Belongil flood study and climate change impacts, and environmental zoning/studies. At the time Mayor Jan Barham said, ‘Council has had clear advice regarding the constraints to development on the West Byron lands including traffic, flooding, biodiversity and the buffer to Sunnybrand. The recently completed MR545 Strategic Traffic Study has revealed that the road is already at capacity. ‘The consideration of climate change impacts and particularly flood has also identified that the land is at risk and therefore unsuitable for major development.’ Conservationist Dailan Pugh also expressed his opposition to the West Byron lands development, saying it continued on page 5

Beaches will be protected, says environment minister Following questions from Greens MP Ian Cohen, NSW environment minister John Robertson said in Parliament last week that beach access would be protected under the state government’s proposed ‘hot spots’ coastal legislation. We will not compromise the beaches of NSW with any of these particular reforms,’ Mr Robertson said. ‘We want, firstly, to clarify the rights of landowners and councils because for some time there has been great confusion about them. ‘These reforms are about providing councils with powers that they do not currently possess, such as having the capacity to issue stop work orders if a landowner is carrying out unlawful

work or work that is likely to increase coastal erosion. The key point, and it needs to be made time and again, is that this government will not compromise the iconic beaches of NSW as a result of this policy.’ Mr Cohen also asked Mr Robertson if he would ‘direct the removal of houses in certain areas in certain circumstances or is private coastal property guaranteed by him come hell or high water?’ ‘I know where Mr Ian Cohen is coming from in relation to this matter,’ Mr Robertson said, ‘he has an ongoing interest in it and he has some issues about landowners at Belongil. ‘Frankly, it would be inappropriate continued on page 5

The Suffolk Park Caravan Park was the venue for a wonderful birthday party on Sunday when family, friends, neighbours and the community gathered to enjoy a celebration for the Suffolk Park Progress Association’s big five-oh. The park was alive with music, historical displays, a graffiti art demonstration, fire trucks and of course the all important 50th birthday cake. Four members of the association, Peter Wegner, Pam Rose, Margaret Wyles and Helen Brown, were given life memberships in gratitude for thier immense contribution to the association and the Suffolk Park area itself. Life member and the longest serving president of the association Dudley Leggett, spoke on behalf of the committee about the work of the association. ‘Today is a rare event because too seldom do we take the opportunity to celebrate the dedicated few who have done so much volunteering of their time and effort for their community and to celebrate the successes that come from communities empowering themselves to develop their place in the best interests of the residents and of those who will come along in the future. We can all see today that governments all too often do not take action to secure the long-term best interests of the general population, all too often acting

in accordance with the vested interests of a powerful few. ‘Even local governments, as our records show, often ignore or even frustrate the legitimate aspirations and requests of local communities. The long retained record of the SPPA shows how this community through this association has had to struggle to gain the most basic necessities regardless of being equal ratepayers and continues to be reliant on this association to this day.’ The event also provided the opportunity to raise funds for the much needed communication equipment for the Suffolk Park Rural Fire Service, who

during the event had fire trucks and staff on hand for the public’s interest and who also presented the progress association with a commemorative plaque in recognition of 40 years of support to the service. Guests on the day included members of the Arakwal community who welcomed everyone, Deputy Mayor Basil Cameron, and the Ukulele Collective who entertained the crowd. Extra special guests were Suffolk clan descendents, brother and sister Verlie Troughton and Cecil Suffolk, whose father Walter Suffolk carried out, at the bequest of their grandfather George Suf-

folk, the donation of this precious parcel of land to the community. Verlie now lives in Lismore and Cecil in Bushland, Western Australia. Both were very pleased to be at the party to have a chance to catch up with the locals. ‘I remember this being just bush when I was little,’ said Verlie. ‘This was a place where our family gathered’. Cecil has fond memories of camping at the site. ‘There was nothing here but a ti-tree pole hut that had cement bags for walls and a tin roof,’ said Cecil. ‘We have enjoyed being here today, it has been very nice.’

Council seeks tourism advisory committee members Nominations for Byron Shire Council’s newly established Tourism Advisory Committee (TAC) close on Friday November 30. Council is seeking seven people who have an interest in tourism and an understanding of the current and future needs of the Shire regarding the management of tourism. Deputy Mayor Basil Cameron said the recent adoption of the Tourism Management

Plan will provide a framework for Council, community and tourism to work together to maximise the benefits of tourism. The suitably qualified external representatives will include four tourism industry members: one associated with the tourism industry in Byron Bay; one associated with the tourism industry in Brunswick Heads; one associated with ru-

<echowebsection=Local News>

ral tourism and one associated with a small, family type tourism operation. The remaining three will include community members who are not associated with the tourism industry and of whom at least one is from a rural area. The committee constitution and full selection criteria for the committee are available at community access points and

on Council’s website at www. byron.nsw.gov.au/expressionsof-interest. Councillors Basil Cameron and Simon Richardson are the councillor representatives on the Tourism Advisory Committee. Further information on the selection criteria can be obtained from Council’s tourism research officer Joanne McMurtry on 6626 7213.

Historic hall kicks up its heels Story & photo Eve Jeffery

The Coorabell School of Arts was formed in 1904, and given a home with the original parcel of land which was bought in June 1909. The first trustees, Joseph Akers, Thomas Gray and Albert Swift, paid sixty pounds for two parcels of land. The Trust Deed established The Coorabell School of Arts, a facility for ‘public instruction and amusement’, with a caveat that the land was never to be sold. The original hall burnt down in 1918 and was rebuilt on its present site in 1920. Hall meetings, according to minutes from July 1925, were held when the moon was full – a tradition was established and full moon events have been special at the Coorabell Hall ever since. Last Saturday, this much loved Byron Shire landmark celebrated 100 years and as in days gone by, visitors young and old gathered at the hall for the sake of fun. The day started in time for a lunch provided by the Coorabell P&C and displays of old wares, photos, saddles, horse drawn buggies and tractors. There were performances

ONE DAY ONLY THIS FRIDAY Fisher and Paykel 7.5kg Washer by John Hoffman with Sharny Van Herp, Ray Essery and Jason Campbell, who delighted the audience with his Aboriginal Goanna dance. Col Gray re-dedicated the hall, followed by the cutting of a cake made by long serving Ladies Auxiliary president Eunice Woolnough, and Reg Wadsworth, a long serving hall committee president.

A highlight of the afternoon’s entertainment was a Maypole Dance by the school children from Coorabell Primary School who were coached Sue Tscicalis. As a great day turned into a great night – revellers arrived in their good-going-out-clothes to enjoy an evening of fun and games and danced the Gypsy Tap, the Pride of Erin, the Canadian

Three Step and barn dance with a few modern steps thrown in for good measure, including the Birdie Dance, the Macareena, the Heel and Toe Polka, the Mexican Hat Dance and the Hoky Poky; the music for the evening provided by Check 2 and MCd by Scott McGregor and as Saturday turned into Sunday, the hall closed its doors on yet another succesful event.

the six categories – the Community of the Year Award (for towns under 15,000) and the Business Enterprise Award. Chamber president, Matthew Denehy, executive officer Kim Rosen and her husband Robert Rosen will attend the awards. ‘We were told that there were 400 entries in the Community of the Year award, so we are very chuffed that Brunswick Heads has been selected as one of the top three

communities in the state,’ said Kim. ‘We were even more excited when the news arrived of our success in the Business Enterprise Awards, which is a new section. ‘Getting this far is a wonderful acknowledgement of all the efforts over many years by so many different people in the Chamber, Progress Association and other community groups , all working together to build a healthy local economy while retaining Brunswick’s

charm and character and low -key village atmosphere, so that we can all still enjoy the “Simple Pleasures”.’ Brunswick Heads has also been invited to make a presentation along with Mungindi and Yeoval the following day at a brunch with Department of Industry and NSW investment minister Phil Costa to tell Brunswick’s story.

Grail Quest

Introduction to Grail Quest (an 8-week course) which is the opening term of the two year parttime foundation course.

...a journey into the Spiritual Science of Rudolf Steiner...

GRAIL QUEST offers a modern form of adult education based on the work of Rudolf Steiner. Through a deepened understanding of the inner workings of the world and ourselves, inner development and soul transformation are brought about. This in turn leads to an enhanced capacity to transform the outer world. The course consists of lectures, discussions and workshops which are expanded through artistic experiences in music, painting, sculpture, story telling, speech, drama, craft and the new art of eurythmy. No previous artistic experience is necessary. The emphasis of the course is away from competition and is focused on individual growth. The course aims to teach through the heart, hand and mind and to bring our efforts to fruition through love of the deed. GRAIL QUEST is also the prerequisite for the Steiner Teacher Training programme.

No luck for Adam on bus service Story & photo Eve Jeffery

Ocean Shores resident Adam Luck doesn’t have the luxury of having a driver’s licence. A medical condition means that Adam’s doctors have told him he is not eligible to drive a car or ride a bycycle so he does the best he can to make his own way around. Adam works at the Beach Hotel in Byron Bay as a kitchen hand and is fortunate to have his parents nearby to give him a lift to work but on the weekends he likes to fend for himself – he has been travelling on the bus to Billi since 2005. ‘Mum and Dad are great. They drive me to work all the time, but on the weekends I like to make my own arrangements. I have a friend who works at the Billinudgel Hotel and on Sundays I used to catch the bus over and have a beer and chat with him before the bus brought me back home later in the afternoon. ‘It has been very easy and convenient for me to catch the

bus over to Billi,’ says Adam. ‘My plight is that the bus service between Byron and Billinudgel has been cut on Sundays and public holidays and the bus that used to stop right near me

has been cancelled.’ Adam feels that he is being disadvantaged by the cessation of the service and feels that the government should be doing more to accommodate

those who need to use public transport.’ Ocean Shores is the second largest population in the Byron Shire and we have no buses,’ says Adam. ‘It’s just not right.’

Firies urge residents to reduce fire hazards now Firefighters from Bangalow Fire Station are urging residents to prepare for the warmer weather and reduce fire hazards around the home with a spring clean. The Bureau of Meteorology has predicted a very challenging fire season ahead with above average temperatures and below average rainfall. New Fire Danger Ratings have been introduced. These ratings now include Very High,

Severe, Extreme and Catastrophic. For further information on these ratings and fire ban updates go to www.bushfire.nsw.gov.au or pick up an information leaflet from your local fire station. Residents are urged to clear any clutter from outside the home, such as piles of rubbish and weeds, and ensure that nothing is blocking exit and escape points. Leaves should

be removed from guttering regularly to reduce the spread of fire to nearby homes via airborne embers. Bangalow and Byron Bay Fire Brigades are also currently recruiting Retained (On-Call / Part Time) members. Both stations will be hosting an information/application evening on Wednesday November 4 from 7pm. NSW Fire Brigades encour-

ages anyone whom has considered becoming a fire fighter to attend these information nights and see first hand what the job entails. For further information contact Andrew Hill, Bangalow Station, on 0407 224 724 or Gary Speers, Byron Bay Station, on 0415 698 100. See also online applications/ information at www.fire.nsw. gov.au.

Beach Road. Runners continued onto the beach and walkers headed back into town. The runners continued for a kilometre along a soft sanded Tallow Beach before heading back to the start line. Organiser Lisa Parkes was ecstatic with the run. ‘What a fantastic event’, said Lisa. ‘With close to 500 entries, we have doubled last year’s turnout. Some entrants were professionals, some were walkers, we had children and people of all ages, and what a fantastic morning in the Bay.’ Last year’s winners were grinners again this year. The overall first places in the event were last year’s champions Jackson Elliot from Brisbane in a time of 34.09 and Maree Stephenson in a time of 41.10. One other age division worthy of a special mention was the fantastic result from the under 16s winner Leigh Stewart who at 15 years finished 9th overall in a time of 40.11 mins and the youngest runner ten year old Liam O’Donnell who completed the course in 54 minutes.

It also has the potential to bring production into the Northern Rivers region.’ Wendy’s prize is a trip to the Screen Producers Association of Australia (SPAA) Conference in Sydney where she will have the opportunity to meet with production companies, funding bodies and broadcasters which then creates the opportunity for her to get her production to the next level of development. Salvador Castro was runner up with One Heart Two Homes. A collection of stories of exiled Latin American artists, thinkers and creators who have sought asylum outside their homeland. Denise Eriksen, Commissioning Editor at

SBS, announced the runnerup and said of Salvador’s concept, ‘It is a compelling story and has great potential. It is topical and an interesting take on an important Australian issue.’ Congratulations also go to Dean Jefferys as the audience selected him as the winner of the Open Mic pitch with his documentary 2012. ‘Screenworks was very fortunate to secure such high calibre judges,’ said Jill Moonie, general manager of Screenworks. ‘The judges, from ABC, SBS, Screen Australia and Screen NSW, are great contacts for us to have in Australian film and television and were able to offer important advice to each of the finalists. They judged the pitches based on content, pitch technique, creative and commercial possibilities.’

Activist kayakers on home stretch Lou Beaumont

As of last Saturday, the Transparentsea surfer activists, kayaking their way down the east coast of Australia, estimated they had travelled 535km of their approximate 700km journey from Byron Bay to Bondi. Those following the voyage will know that the predominant aim of the trip is to raise awareness of the plight of the humpbacks, of which one thousand are targeted every year by Japanese whalers. Transparentsea crew member and professional surfer, Chris del Moro, said, ‘Those whales are caught and killed in sanctuary waters. Right now Sea Shepherd is the only organisation going to the Southern Ocean to do something about it.’ The crew paddled out of Byron Bay on October 1 and at time of going to press they were due to leave Blueys Beach, having spent the weekend surfing the wellknown breaks. With the epic physical journey ending when they arrive on Bondi Beach on November 5, it is a trip that has altered each one of the team, on and offshore, forever. Professional surfer and Transparentsea instigator, Dave Rastovich, told Triple J Radio, ‘We are having some amazing encounters.

act with us instead. They are just the most curious, beautiful animals, coming right up and under our kayaks. ‘So far, every wind has been a good wind. It either suits us to sail or to surf. We have had dolphins riding our bow waves, we’ve freed a beautiful leopard shark that was caught in a trap, and we’ve camped on seemingly pristine beaches that Australia is famous for but we end up picking up thousands of pieces of rubbish on our beach cleanups.’ Transparentsea hopes to encourage followers of the trip to

support Sea Shepherd and get involved with beach cleanups in their local area. Personalised, individual letters to Prime Minister Kevin Rudd and Environment Minister Peter Garrett that ask them to keep the promises they made are known effective nuisances. Rally your friends to write a bundle. Rastovich said, ‘It has been very disappointing to learn that the Australian government recently obstructed Paul Watson’s [Sea Shepherd captain] entry to Australia, rather than welcoming him as a great defender of the whales.

‘Instead of upholding their preelection promise to challenge Japanese whaling in international court and to protect the Southern Ocean sanctuary, the Australian government appears to have turned their back on the whales that are once again under threat.’ Visit www.transparentseavoyage.com to follow the crew on the home stretch and to view surf photographer and Transparentsea crew member Hilton Dawe’s awe-inspiring photos of the team on their craft and surfing the waves, the whales, the weather and the crew.

Extended deadline for T-shirt design competition The judging panel for the Santos Trading T-shirt design competition has decided to extend the deadline and to increase the prize money offered for a suitable design. ‘It was felt that the criteria given to entrants was not clear enough, and needed to be easier to interpret,’ says Santos. ‘So, back to the drawing board it was for those that put together the original criteria. To those of you that had entered, your

For those that tried to meet the deadline last time but couldn’t, here’s your chance. ‘The revised prize on offer is $500 cash plus a T-shirt with your winning design printed on it. ‘The revised criteria now reads: simplify, simplify, simplify. The design should be sim-

Plump up your vegies for show Andrea Herraman

Keen gardeners around town are busy preparing their entries for the Mullumbimby Show on November 14 and 15. Along with competitions for the best fruit and vegetables there are categories for flowers (including orchids) sewing, beef cattle, honey and even scarecrows. Local gardener Vicki Barton, pictured, is hoping her eggplants will be ready for the competition. ‘It all depends on the weather as to which of my vegetables will be ready for the Show weekend,’ she said. Organisers are pleased with the community response to the announcement that the Mullumbimby Show is being revived and hope that locals will join in the competitions and displays. Mullumbimby Farm Co-op got the fund-raising underway and is the major sponsor. Numerous businesses have got behind the concept providing funds for the Show to go ahead. This week saw the first round

of judging for the Mullumbimby Showgirl entrants. Five local girls Tahlee Jones, Cecily Ryan, Bree Hampson, Georgina McKenzie and DesireĂŠ Payne are

vying for the title and all expressed their delight at being involved. ‘I’ve grown up around the Show community with my

family showing cattle and sheep. When the opportunity arose I just had to get involved in my local Show,’ said Bree. The next round of judging will take place at the Mullumbimby Gala Dinner Ball at the Bowling Club on November 4 (tickets from Mullumbimby Newsagency) with the winner announced at the Show about lunchtime on November 14 on the entertainment stage. The entertainment stage is the venue for the talent quest featuring singers and musicians in three divisions: Under12, Over 12 and Open. To be in it to win cash prizes grab an entry form at the newsagents or contact Margaret on 6684 1128. The Show will feature a range of displays, activities, competitions, music, animals, sideshows and good old-fashioned fun beginning with Mullumbimby’s first Truck Show and Parade on Saturday morning. To find out more about what’s on check out the program available at various shops around town or the website www.mullumbimbyshow. org.au.

Mullum school’s November Fair goes green This year the Mullumbimby Public School’s November Fair is going green. The planning committee has decided to offset emissions created by the Fair’s energy use by purchasing carbon credits. The increased number of rides at this year’s Fair has prompted organisers to look more closely at ways to satisfy their environmental responsibitilities. As well as offsetting the fireworks, the school will measure its emissions from electricity used to power the rides and the lights on the night and will buy carbon credits accordingly. They will invest in solar technology and sustainable forestry projects, with additional plantings taking place on the school grounds. Coordinator of the November Fair Nikki Marriot said, ‘As well as setting aside funds to offset our carbon

emissions, we are aiming to have all the food service items made from recyclable materials. Richmond Waste has kindly agreed to provide us with recycling stations free of charge for the night. We are working to improve the Fair each year, but now we are also focused on improving its green standards every year.

.[Q_Rd :P:N[b` =_R`R[a`

This feels like a great start.’ The November Fair is Mullumbimby Public School’s annual fundraiser. The Fair has been designed to be an all weather event. This year there will be five rides: On the Storm, The Super Slide and The Beach Party BlowUp Castle, plus The Cup and Saucer and the Jungle Fever

Jumping Castle for the littlies. A range of food stalls will be under one large marquee to create a festive food hall effect: including steak sandwiches, sushi, chicken kebabs and great coffee. If you are in a shopping mood there will be lots of bargains including wooden letterboxes, luscious cakes, Landcare plants and Trash and Treasure. You can take a stroll through the tea-light labyrinth, visit the Mullum firies and the firetruck; admire the student sculptures; vote at the Sculpture Show, join in with the novelty games and enjoy performances by students from African drumming and dancing, to the Infants kids dancing to ‘Blame it on the Boogie’ and ‘The Hoedown’. The fun will start at 4.30 pm on Friday November 6, with fireworks between 8.15pm and 8.30pm, and will end at 9pm.

Learning to live with grief is hard Debbie Kruger

I’m going to the Day of the Dead on November 8. Not for a demystification of the death process, but because I want to connect with other people who have experienced great loss and are looking for a similar connection. It will be one day before the second anniversary of my mother’s death. She died just a few years after my father. My mum was young and vibrant, struck down randomly by a malignant brain tumour. I spent eight months in Sydney as her 24/7 carer, and another month after that clearing out her home and dispersing her possessions. When I got back to Byron Bay I was shell-shocked, exhausted and devastated. I knew my life would never be the same. I learned a lot about grief over the next 18 months. I learned that many people cannot be around it. I had little solace from my

Debbie Kruger with her mother Lisa.

so-called closest friends here. They weren’t very interested in my sadness, hadn’t known my mother so were not interested in talking about her, and seemed to think I should just pick myself up, brush myself off and not bother them with my feelings. When I reached out to one particular friend her response was, ‘I know you’re lonely, Deb, but there’s nothing I can say about that, because I’m not the solution.’ I wore my grief on my sleeve

and face for a long time. There was nothing else I could talk about, and so potential new friends were keeping their distance, too. Taking a positive, spiritual view of death is valuable, but what about afterwards, when the reality sinks in, when the loss is even more palpable, and when each passing day, week and month is just more time without the one you love? Losing a parent when you are an adult is the one kind of

Friends’ long cycle for humanity Friends Jennifer Ward, 23, and Tanya Sobiesiak, 26, are cycling from Melbourne to Cairns for the charity Bicycles for Humanity, raising money to ship a container of good, used bicycles to Zambia. The pair are currently here in Byron Bay, their half way point. Jennifer said, ‘We are travelling Australia on our bums. That is, we are cycling from Melbourne to Cairns. Our aim is to raise enough money for our mates at Bicycles for Humanity to get disused bikes from Australia to those who need them the most abroad. ‘In Zambia resources are not only scarce but huge distances have to be travelled by foot to obtain them. We need your help to get these bikes (so many disused bikes!) out of garages here in Australia, spruce them up a little and give them a new life and a real purpose. ‘We can’t imagine life without our bikes and cannot com-

bereavement that gets the least regard. As some people said to me, ‘We all lose our parents. It’s a part of life. You have to move on.’ Well, that might be true, but losing a parent, especially a mother, is losing the person you have known the longest in your life, and the pain of that does not fade quickly. I looked around for a support group and couldn’t find anything in the Byron area. There are several groups for men. There are groups for parents who have lost children, for people with cancer, for addicts and their families, but nothing for people dealing with the pain of losing someone they have been closest to all their life – be it a parent, partner, sibling or best friend. So I’d like to initiate a relaxed, friendly group to meet every couple of weeks, to talk about the people we have lost, the times we shared with them, how we lost them, the reactions of people around us, and how we are coping with life since that loss. If you could use this kind of support, please contact me at krug@debbiekruger.com, or on 0412 405 704.

10 GOOD REASONS TO CHOOSE BIKRAM YOGA 1. The postures are pure, 5000 year old Hatha Yoga Postures created to heal the body. They have not been modified for western bodies to make it easy and so they do what the Yogis intended; they heal the body and calm the mind in preparation for deep meditation. 2. The lineage of Bikram Yoga is pure: BABJI NAGARAJ-LAHIRI MAHASAYASRI YUKTESWAR-PARAMAHANSA YOGANANDA- (HIS BROTHER)BISHNU CHARAN GOSH- BIKRAM CHOUDHURY-ALL CERTIFIED BIKRAM YOGA INSTUCTORS WHO ARE TRAINED ONLY BY BIKRAM. 3. The Bikram sequence took 5 years to perfect based on science with the purpose of maintaining optimum health in the human body. 4. The heated room allows even the stiffest of bodies to stretch and sweat out impurities. So it suits all levels of fitness. 5. It reduces stress, improves sleep, develops muscle tone, builds strength and stamina, improves breathing and is excellent for back pain, sports injuries and aids weight loss. 6. You get results quickly- people report having more flexibility, vitality and energy in the first week. 7. You will burn 800-900 calories per class. 8. First time locals pay $20 for 7 days of Yoga. 9. With direct debit packages you pay as little as $4.50 per class! 10. Your body is ageing as you read this - you can slow it down with Bikram Yoga!

Joint communiqués Cannabis has raised its furry, multicoloured head again with the Australian tour of Dr Norm Stamper, ex chief of police in Seattle and author of Breaking Rank: A Top Cop’s Exposé of the Dark Side of American Policing (www.normstamper.com), who believes in safe guidelines for marijuana use. His visit was hosted by the Australian Drug Law Reform Foundation (http://adlrf.org.au) headed by Dr Alex Wodak, an indefatigable campaigner for harm minimisation in the face of a succession of premiers and prime ministers who feel they need to play the hard man on drugs to woo their constituents and the shock jocks. The merry pranksters at the Nimbin Hemp Embassy were on a high, having secured Dr Stamper to launch their Safer Cannabis Use Guidelines. Actually, the guidelines were put together by the ‘Nimbin Health & Medical Research Committee’, a parody of the National Health & Medical Research Council (www.nhmrc.gov. au), a federal government body. Not as elegant as their ‘Polite Force’, which took the michael out of the NSW Police Force, but it should put the cat among a few anally retentive pigeons. According to ‘NHMRC’, Dr Stamper launched the guidelines with these words: ‘Whether we like it or not, cannabis is here to stay. It is time we started getting real about the drug. Guidelines for safer use are one way of doing that. ‘I was pleased to see that the guidelines recognise that the safest way of using cannabis is to never use the drug – but 100 million Americans, including the last three Presidents of the USA, have ignored advice to “Just Say No”. So these guidelines are for the many Australians who will also ignore that advice over the next 12 months.’ Deb Felton, ‘General Secretary’ of the ‘NHMRC’, said an estimated two to three million Australians use cannabis every year. ‘Cannabis is the most commonly used illicit drug in Australia. The most recent National Drug Strategy Household Survey (2004) revealed that one in three Australians had tried cannabis, with 11% of the population having used it in the previous 12 months.’ The 12 guidelines are not likely to achieve national prominence in the wider community but will probably circulate widely in the pot-smoking subculture. They do promote – gasp! – moderation, though NRHMC’s benchmark of consuming cannabis for five days a week or less and no more than four joints a day, if taken at the upper limit, would render me inoperative. The guidelines do point out the harm associated with smoking, the illegality of cannabis and the need to protect children from messing up their minds with bong parties. The criminal persecution of cannabis users for their habit, and not those users of the far more dangerous tobacco and alcohol, is a matter of both historical cultural imperatives and a US ‘war on drugs’ based upon the self-interest of a few slimy politicians and agency heads. Drug use is a health issue, as has been said repeatedly, and harm minimisation/education is the way to go. Not until most Australians are prepared to take enough time away from their plasma TVs to stare into the existential abyss and acknowledge that everything is dangerous will we be free from kneejerk reactions to the word ‘drugs’. In the meantime, watch ducks – it’s a much more fulfilling pastime than getting off your face. – Michael McDonald, editor

Mayor Jan Barham took a firm hand at public access last Thursday, recalling the pre-1990 days when then shire president Oliver Dunne would move things along at a fast pace, exhorting councillors not to waffle. It was not to Fast Buck$’s liking – but then, what is? Other than a testy exchange between the abovementioned parties over accuracy of minutes, the session got off nicely with a presentation by two school students and Melissa Armstrong, coordinator of the Batbus program, which gets young folks safely to and from events. They were asking for funding help from Council, and noted they had had no CPIlinked funding increases over the last ten years, despite a report to NSW parliament suggesting the program be rolled out across the State. Access then moved into serious mode with Optus reps trying to convince councillors to allow their telco tower to be built in Mullum. They faced serious opposition from locals, who rolled up with a photo display of a cherry picker depicting the impact of the tower from various views around town. The lack of community consultation by Optus before submitting a DA did not go down well with councillors, and the telco reps went away with a firm impression to that effect. Dailan Pugh then attacked Council’s Belongil Creek Study, quoting an avalanche of figures which was almost as overwhelming as climate change. Cr Barham objected to his use of the term ‘you’, which Pugh thought appropriate as the document had been on public exhibition and he felt council-

lors would claim some ownership of it. But apparently the second person plural informal pronoun is intimidating, so Pugh acceded to the mayor’s request. Pugh and Byron United member Laurie Lynch both felt there was not enough community input allowed into Council’s upcoming Coastal Zone

Management Plan (CZMP) panel discussion, and Lynch also took issue with Council’s plans for a mini-bypass of the Bay, saying it would not solve the traffic queueing problem. Much more followed, including an exposition of the contradictory clauses in Council’s busking policy, a call by Buck$ for councillors to learn

the basics of law, a call by Keine Nombre, the artist formerly known as Matthew Hartley, for protection of the coastline by establishment of a reinforced frontal dune, and a presentation in favour of water fluoridation by the delightfully-named Professor Anthony Blinkhorn, who found no joy in the councillors’ line of questioning.

Cops, council and complainant Despite Fast Buck$’s hardline approach to interpersonal relationships when he is not getting his own way, some of his complaints are genuine. A case in point involves the arrival of police officers with Byron Shire Council officers during a property inspection at Buck$’s place at Coorabell. It is not usual to call the cops for property inspections in this Shire and Council has not yet provided prima facie evidence, at least not publicly, for the need to bring the law along as backup. In his bulldog fashion Buck$ has gone after compliance officer Wayne Bertram, suspecting him to be the cause of the overkill. Council general manager Graeme Faulkner has defended his man, declining to answer Buck$’s question: ‘Who made the decision that police would accompany staff on the inspection of my property and on what basis?’ In a letter of October 16 Faulkner says he would be in breach of Council’s health and safety obligations – ‘given the tone of your recent correspondence’ – if he did not ‘provide a workplace free from bullying, harassment and intimidation’. Not to mention being in shit with the union. But hang on, since when is Buck$ an employee of Council? What hope has he of bullying anyone in the workplace when the workplace is protected by card-

coded doors? What about a little consideration for Buck$’s wife who found the arrival of police officers a tad on the intimidating side? In any case Buck$ has complained to the mayor about the GM’s conduct, alleging Faulkner has failed to properly investigate the matter, so the GM will not comment further on the issue. He goes on to ‘strongly recommend’ that Buck$ take up the matter with the police, NSW Ombudsman and/or the ICAC. I think Buck$ will find that councillors and staff will increasingly encourage that approach, as they have been bombarded with derogatory and defamatory letters. ‘Honey catches more flies than vinegar’ is not really

Buck$’s favourite proverb. Mayor Jan Barham and Buck$ again clashed intemperately during public access last week, leading the mayor to exclaim, ‘If you’ve got a problem, slag me off in the media, complain, do what you want.’ Of all the actions suggested by Barham and Faulkner, complaints to the ICAC, Ombudsman or the Department of Local Government are the only avenues likely to get a real result, presupposing there is a real case to be made. On the property inspection issue and his failure to get satisfaction from the rural settlement strategy Buck$ appears to have grounds to be heard by a higher authority than Council. As a shoe company suggests, just do it.

Physiologists, biochemists and anatomists have long been aware of how all the systems in your body are intrinsically linked and how disturbances in one area can have a knock on effect throughout your body. Toxins introduced during routine dental care, poorly managed periodontal and dental disease and lack of attention to occlusion and TMJ problems can have a, sometimes, catastrophic effect on the body.

Letters

Figuring out the best for our railway Reply to letters last week on the rail issue: in terms of rail costing we use the Price Waterhouse Coopers report as it’s the only publicly available report. The appendices contain detailed information about every bridge. The rail experts who provided the detail for the report are described on page 1. The NSW government had a report done in 2006 by GHD but has refused to release it, claiming ‘Cabinet-inConfidence’, putting it beyond Freedom of Information (FOI) attempts. We can only guess at its contents. Yes, I am well aware of the washout at Billinudgel but that would need to be repaired regardless of whether you put bikes or trains on the line. Southern Cross University did a survey in 2004 and found

that 72% of residents and tourists would use a commuter rail service at least once a month. When you do the sums across our population that results in 2,875 people per day. In terms of ‘bums on seats’ let’s look at the Victorian regional rail experience. They have improved services and even reinstated services on lines – eg the Bairnsdale line had no trains for 11 years and now has six trains a day. Patronage has been increasing on all lines, year after year, with another 9% increase this year, giving a four year increase of 82% (see vline.com.au). Victorians are voting with their feet to save petrol costs. Let’s think about this. We have approximately 200,000 residents. Let’s say that one in four resident saves one tank of pet-

Our community Because of Jai I’ve been thinking a lot about our community – our mob. The warm encompassing embrace of this place, through highs and lows, it’s amazing. Over the years I’ve seen lots of people having picnics in Heritage Park – kids and parents playing and relaxing and saying g’day to other people passing by and it occurred to me that it’d be wonderful to have an annual big picnic in the park. Lots of people young, old and in between playing and having fun together. Our kids are so important to us and to see them happy it’s just the best thing. My theory

Hilltop triumph On October 28, 1999, hundreds of Byron Shire people came to the rescue of the heathland site at the top of Paterson Hill

rol per year as they can use the train. Of course many would save much more than that, and I’ve not included visitors. At $50 per tank that alone equals $2.5 million per year of money that wouldn’t leave the area for petrol – our small businesses might like some of that.

opposite the water tower. A large truck carrying an excavator with which to destroy the heathland had started its journey reversing up Pacific Vista Drive at 6.30am on that day. The low loader was blockaded by vehicles and people in a long hot day of protest eventually to be stopped at 5pm by a tree preservation order from Council which was shown to the police. Sixty-four people were arrested. It was a very dramatic day with many stories yet to be told, a combination of many factors helped save the heathland.Fourteen large houses were to have been built on the site. Everyone is invited to celebrate the anniversary of this event at sunset at the highest point of the Hill on Saturday October 31, to look over towards the sea and lighthouse at the beautiful view and wetland that would have been spoilt forever if it had not been for all those people who, on that day, actually cared enough to

do something. The area is now part of the Arakwal Park. Bring beverage and food of your choice. Respect the heathland.

■There’s a very simple solution

to the ongoing debate about our local train line. Simply run buses over the route for a trial period (say two years) and see how many people board them. If the buses are full at the end of the trial period then TOOT will have proved their case and the trains should return. If the buses are empty then TOOT will have to accept that the community simply do not want trains. Such a trial would cost a tiny fraction of the $200m (if Cr Silver is right) it will cost to get the trains going. If TOOT are not prepared to get behind it they will be admitting that the only reason for advocating trains is nostalgia.

slopes in excess of 20% are excluded in the Strategy from future rural settlement’. Excessive slope results in major problems concerning onsite wastewater treatment, erosion, land slippage, stormwater control, and bushfire hazards. Looking at the BRSS 20% slope map, almost all of the property is on excessive slope over 20%, and it is heavily forested and therefore it is completely unsuitable for this type of development. Council needs to follow its BRSS selection guidelines in approving any new MO or CT developments in Main Arm.

Coorabell ■ I hesitate to speculate what is

really behind Fast Buck$’s increasingly belligerent and misdirected attacks on Jan Barham – there are eight other voting councillors – he is obviously under some pressure (Letters, October 20). Despite his short term as a councillor, Buck$ had never hoisted aboard that there is a yawning power divide between the elected and the executive. He seems to believe that by shouting loudly in the council chamber and in The Echo this imbalance will somehow be overcome. Local government councillors do not have the same powers as state pollies who can anoint and dispose of bureaucrats at the drop of a severance package. Council staff is a protected species, even the general manager moves against them with catlike tread at the ratepayers’ peril. Councillors are more akin to a board of directors who make policy but have absolutely no role in operational matters. In our case policy decisions (resoThis potential 10 house development is in addition to two other controversial DAs proposed by ReGenesis and Mike Davis for their subdivisions, currently being assessed by Council, which could allow up to 46 houses (27 of which are also on excessive slope), and a commercial centre and shopping plaza, suburbanising and ruining the rural character of our area.

lutions of council) may or may not be implemented depending variously on the GM’s degree of control, the persistence of the councillors and the capability and motivation of the staff involved. Councillors can also ask questions. Usually, after a protracted exchange they get a ‘Sir Humphrey Appleby’ reply. If they attempt to direct staff in any way it is the GM’s sacred duty to beat them soundly with a brass-bound volume of the Local Government Act until they learn their place. I have no doubt that Buck$ is experiencing a standard (perhaps ultra-standard) degree of difficulty in his dealings with council staff (I have been there myself) but he characteristically refuses to recognise that some of his problems may be self-inflicted. I have attempted to assist on a couple of occasions but he is not open to any solutions but his own which are hopelessly out of touch with the realities of the possible. An external restructure of the council organisation may have helped if some councillors had not fallen at the vote. Now Buck$ is left with the prospect of being the first customer for our internal ombudsman – but he has already dismissed this initiative as just more council spin... Cr Tom Tabart

The alpha and zeta of coastal issues ■People who have studied coastal geomorphology will know that the coastline of northern NSW is formed into a series of long, zeta form beaches or embayments. This is most obvious by viewing a satellite image of the coast. ‘Zeta’ refers to the shape of the curve of the beach which follows a definite mathematical pattern. The shape of the beach is like a fishhook, strongly curving at the southern end and gently curving to the north. Each zeta form embayment starts at a bedrock point or headland projecting into the Pacific Ocean. Where a rocky headland projects into the flattened part of the curve, another fishhook or cusp forms. The present beach erosion extending from The Wreck carpark to the Belongil Creek mouth is simply a result of placing an artificial headland into a pre-existing zeta formed beach. This has set up the dynamics for the formation of new zeta curve hinging off the carpark ‘headland’. The start of the curve is always steep that is why erosion is eating in strongly at the Belongil. It will continue eating in until a new zeta curve equilibrium is reached. Given this situation, the way to start fixing the coastal erosion problem at Belongil is to

remove the groyne projecting out from The Wreck carpark, which has no apparent purpose. The next step should be to remove the carpark to realign the profile of the beach and reestablish the prior zetaform beach curve. If The Wreck carpark and groyne is left in place when this is the cause of the erosion problem, we will end up with sea walls and no beach at the Belongil, as nature continues to work inexorably at reforming the natural zetaform curve of the coastline. Andrew Benwell

New Brighton ■Great to see that common sense has prevailed with the state government’s policy announcement in relation to endangered coastline communities such as Belongil – a just reward for a community that has worked hard to ensure the rights of land owners are recognised. Thanks also to the protagonists such as Matthew Lambourne (Letters, October 20) for keeping the debate about Belongil in the public realm. Just to set the record straight, I happen to be one of the lucky ones in Belongil. I didn’t actually buy a house on a sand dune, in fact we constructed a house a few years ago in line with Council’s planned retreat

requirements for new buildings, ie it is demountable and able to be put on the back of a truck and taken away. That of course begs another question if planned retreat is ever put into motion – where would I take it to? I guess I should have done enough due diligence all those years ago, and bought a spare block of land somewhere else. Gee, that’s something everyone would have thought of. But it just so happens, Matthew, my concern has been for my neighbours, the Belongil community, and for that matter, downtown Byron – because it will be in danger too if no measures are taken to protect Belongil. And Christina Cathcart, thanks for your insight into where you would like to see Council’s resources allocated – of course you would rather see them allocated somewhere other than Belongil, you live at Ocean Shores! While we are talking about ‘buyer beware’, what do you say to all those people who live in semi-rural communities, now endangered by bushfires? As a result of global warming, even people living in urban communities are living in threat of bushfires – have a look at the Gold Coast and Rockhampton right now. How come emergency serv-

ices are out there, right now, trying to save peoples’ homes? A couple of months back, a bushfire at the back of Mullumbimby was attended to by emergency services – a perfectly responsible response to save peoples’ homes. So tell me, Matthew and Christina, what is the difference with what our community faces at Belongil? If global warming is causing, or contributing to, the demise of coastal areas and devastating bushfires all around the country, why is it OK for emergency action for the communities threatened by the latter, and not for the former? If a bushfire was roaring towards Ocean Shores or again at Mullumbimby, why was it OK for you to try to save your property, but it wasn’t OK for us to try to save ours? Well, now it is. And thanks for the heads-up about North Korea too, Matthew. I checked it out, but it seems the regime there is run by power crazy dictators who control everything. Hmm... seems more in keeping with Byron Council, so maybe it would suit you and Jan better. By the way, Matthew, if planned retreat is ever put into practice and I have to move my house, do you have any room in your backyard?

Ocean Shores I never cease to be amazed at the business as usual approach of government to climate change. This week it has been announced that $70 million has

â–

been approved for an upgrade to power lines from Casino to Byron, which will allow far more coal generated electricity to reach our sockets. Does this $70 million get included when people talk about the annual subsidies that coal receives? If this money was used, say, to purchase some Coopers Shoot land, or perhaps along the new highway’s verge, and stick a bunch of windmills on it, would it not generate the same increase in power available without the need to clear swathes of forests and endanger anyone living near the power pathway? In Holland

the highways are lined with solar panels – if it is deemed viable there with their four to five sunny days a year, then it must be viable here. Also, will the emissions produced in the construction and maintenance of this power line be added onto the future power bills, so effectively as taxpayers we will pay for its construction as well as paying for its carbon cost in increased electricity costs? Given the enviro catastrophe that our dependence on coal engenders, it beggars belief that this kind of money is being spent on supporting infrastructure for a dinosaur indus-

The new entrance building at Mullumbimby’s Petria Thomas Pool has been welcomed by everyone who swims there. I’d like to thank the Council for putting up the money. Having said that, I think this building has more than its fair share of faults. You really would expect a Green Council to think about the design of such buildings, not just from the aesthetic point of view but in terms of the people who will use it and the contribution the structure makes to greenhouse gases. The entrance is poorly designed and leads to confusion as to where people are expected to pay. The counters are forbiddingly high, unwelcoming and make it difficult for children to attract the attention of staff. The western side of the building, facing the afternoon sun, is like a heat scoop. No thought has been given to providing shade. Mens’ and womens’ change rooms/showers have been built so that not a flicker of natural light can get in. Each room is lit throughout the day by 12 fluorescent lights. These lights stay on no matter how brilliantly the sun is shining. Where’s the Green awareness of the contribution electricity makes to global warming? Of course, the solar panels on the roof now heat the showers so let’s hear it for the Council on this point. Nope. Not one solar panel: just the same old coin-in-the-slot machine for hot water to one shower only per change room. This is a major missed opportunity and we’ll have to put up with it for a very long time. Really pathetic for a Council that calls itself green. The colour scheme’s nice. M Sargaison

Here is a group of photos that illustrate how the Belongil ancient dune became destabilised, and why. Figure 1 shows a bulldozer destroying the seaward portion of the dune. Figure 2 shows why. That heavy black stuff at the bottom for the most part, plus striations visible above. They were strip mining heavy mineral deposits known as ‘placer deposits’, which form when heavy wave action impacts a beach over millennia. The heaviest parts of the sand load sink to the bottom and form an alluvial body rich in such materials as zircon and particularly rutile. The dune is thousands of years old and a stable formation, which is why the deposits were there. Figure 3 shows in the foreground a nice black dog, now sadly deceased, standing atop the original dune as of April 1967 before sandmining. In the

:F8JK8C N8K<I :8IK8><

background to the right can be seen the piled-up soft sand. After the mining, the soft sand was put back and planted with bitou bush to stabilise it. Figure 4 shows the same thing being done at Main Beach, which is why the rock structure had to be put in there. The old, compacted, heavy ancient dune structure was removed, and only soft sand replaced. Harking back to Figure 1, those houses on the edge are all that has saved the remaining ancient dune. The miners had to stop at the boundaries of private property. It is my suspicion that prior to mining being approved, assurances would have been given by the company and government that no property would be impacted or habitat threatened. Such assurances invariably do come with dodgy

mining proposals. When the big storms of 1972 and 1974 tore away mined dunes up and down the coast, arses would have needed to be covered. Hence the official line: ‘The coast is retreating, nature must take its course.’ Liability must be avoided! The actual survey lines tell a different story. A story that matches heavy mineral deposits in the ancient dune system. Prior to mining, big seas would rip off surface sand, but not damage the heavy compacted foundation, and over that heavy solid base the surface dune would then reform. The Belongil dune is stable. With respect to all parties

concerned, I believe we need to duplicate the ancient dune and attempt to restore the natural balance. This can be done. Otherwise, we will complete the destruction the sandmining began. The final two pictures illustrate the adjustment to the shape of the coast caused by the rock walls up in the north of the Shire, and at Main Beach. By adjusting the shape of the Main Beach works to duplicate a dune instead of a headland, we may eliminate this effect. Added to the destabilisation caused by mining, those structures have been a real drag.

Noosa and Byron Bay are lattes apart Mick Malloy

The Weekend Australian recently ran an article (‘The Tide Turns’, October 10-11) highly critical of Byron Bay. Journalist Andrew Fraser compared Byron to Noosa and concluded that Byron residents, led by council, have adopted an extreme anti-tourist, antilandholder, anti-business, antibeach preservation, anti-fuckingeverything attitude. Noosa, on the other hand, is God’s gift to the tourist industry, according to Andrew. Andrew has obviously attempted a quick trip into Byron Bay and spent a day stuck in his car on Ewingsdale Road. A quick trip into Byron Bay – how oxymoronic could a bloke be? (It’s a bad trip. I’ve been stuck on our very own Road To Nihil long enough to read an entire Fast Buck$ letter to The Echo and traumatised enough to think I understood it.) Andrew’s dismay with Byron’s road system would be understandable but I do feel compelled to defend my adopted hometown against the bloke’s load of uninformed tripe. Andrew is unappreciative of the fact that Byron is in NSW and Noosa isn’t. This gives Noosa an immediate unfair advantage. Having the support of the NSW state government

Latte art by Jelena Pettersson from www.latteart.nl

is a bit like having Pol Pot as a carer. Byron’s infrastructure problems are continually exacerbated by this obstructionist, self-destructive rabble. Andrew, while realising Noosa and Byron have different ideologies, didn’t bother to define Byron’s. What Byron stands for was vividly displayed in 2003, when the whole of its townspeople thrust themselves naked onto the world stage in protest over our government’s support of an unjustifiable war, while Noosa ordered a latte. Sixty thousand Iraqi civilian deaths later, Iraq was transformed into a nightmare and our gutless government was reelected simply because Australians’ hip pockets were humming. Byron plummeted into despair. Noosa ordered another latte. It’s about soul, Andrew, humanity’s soul, but if your wish is for a latte, a fast buck and slow enlightenment, you’re

better off in Noosa. (Or the Gold Coast if your greed’s gone gangrenous.) Andrew labels Byronites as anti-tourist basically because we’ve refused to be competitive in the race to become the next Gold Coast. He feels that Council’s decision to shut down non-approved holiday lets is bordering on criminal. It seems regulations in regard to number of guests, fire prevention, neighbour amenity, commercial advantage etc should not interfere with the quest to make a buck. When a swarm of kids, that typify the ‘Bon Scott’ visitor demographic, goes up in flames in one of these dwellings, you might be better off being one of the kids rather than those responsible for authorising the dwelling for such use. Andrew the geologist thinks that Byron should apply Noosa’s rock wall/sand replacement strategy to its eroding beaches. The fact that the NSW state

government now advocates this strategy confirms its absurdity. Noosa, despite having a beach as big as a bathtub, has nearly tapped China by sucking so much sand out of its riverbed to maintain its beach. Apparently owners of these rock walls are to be held accountable for any damage done to adjacent beach frontages. They’ll have as much chance of policing that as monitoring my methane output. What insurance company will offer liability cover for anyone who screws with nature? Andrew also seems to have overlooked climate change and its predicted effects on the north coast, such as a severe blow to his groyne, but he’ll probably lie back and enjoy it from the safety of his Melbourne office. Whether it’s with your Nylex in the face of raging infernos or garden walling expansive beachfronts against surging oceans, attempting to fight nature’s extremes can only result in misery. The informed (which automatically excludes Andrew) understand that Byron’s coastal erosion problem requires a collaborative approach between local, state and federal governments. As with climate change, government funded science holds the answer, not uninformed journalists, not landholders and not businesspeople. We have witnessed nature’s ferocious coastline appetite over many years, and I suspect counteracting it could be as difficult as stopping the bullshit that naturally flows from The Australian.

Drama that transcends mediocrity Finally the courageous and obsessed storytellers of this region have an event aimed squarely at them, at least according to Screenworks. Screenworks is bringing Billy MarshallStoneking, pictured, to Bangalow for the first time to deliver his seminar, ‘The Drama According to Stoneking’ on Saturday November 14. Jill Moonie, general manager of Screenworks, said ‘The publicity and stories about the Stoneking seminars are so positive, and his message so profound that people swear it has changed their lives. So be ready to open up to your owns stories in a new way.’ Billy Marshall-Stoneking is a renowned writer for both screen and stage, poet, producer and director and his work as a script editor has helped writers focus on the truth and intensity of emotional connections in character based stories. ‘In the seminar Stoneking delivers a powerful message about character based story telling,’ says Screenworks. ‘Such is the strength and depth 16 October 27, 2009 The Byron Shire Echo

<echowebsection=Articles>

of his message that he has been accorded the status of the Screenwriting equivalent of the drill master in Full Metal Jacket by Chopper writer director Andrew Dominik. Others tell of the transformation and excitement about their work after taking on board Stoneking’s theories. ‘For the Screenworks seminar Stoneking will present his intuitive storytelling perspectives, tools and strategies that will help participants to develop confidence in their own intuitive processes. A key element of this seminar is to

explore the building up and releasing of emotional energy through story and performance. ‘Stoneking will highlight his messages with screenings of key scenes and short films. ‘If you want to smash through the wall, and find out about the art of becoming a medium in your own writing and performance – then this is the standout event of the year.’ To reserve a place call 6687 1599 or email Lisa O’Meara at events@screenworks.com.au.

Ate, preyed and left the beauty of Ubud Ubuddha

I first came to Bali on the hippie trail in 1981, staying in Legian at the famous Three Brothers, enjoying illicit substances, curious, even dangerous food, and indulging a full-blooded sexual dalliance with a German girl who couldn’t speak a word of English. I never went to Ubud, at that time a little town only a few visitors made the effort to explore, but not I, a strapping Aussie intent only on sun, sea, sex and serious partying. I skimmed the culture as so many people still do. It was a time of innocence before

the rise of Bali and surrounds as a surfing Mecca, before the bombings and Schapelle Corby, before the Ubud Writer’s Festival and well before the political rejuvenation of Indonesia in 1998, and East Timor’s struggle to independence. Twenty-eight years later I arrive to stay in Ubud a few days before the Writer’s Festival, passing one day a sweating Mungo MacCallum traipsing up the main drag in the searing humidity, and a week or two before Julia Roberts, Javier Bardem and their Hollywood caravan of dreams paraded into town. They are here to film Eat Pray Love, Elizabeth Gilbert’s true tale of a woman caught in a faux happy cul-de-sac of American life who leaves a moment of utter desolation on her bathroom floor for Italian pasta, Indian ashrams and finally to find peace and love in Bali. Bardem plays the Lothario she hooks in Ubud. Happens every day!

Tremors When the author appeared on Oprah the audience of similarly disenchanted American women held up their dogeared copies of the book like sacred texts, underlined and book-marked, declaring their empathy with every paragraph. They call them Lisbians. The book itself and the possible effects of the film are sending tremors through Bali society magnitude Oscars 8.8. Some imagine hordes of middle-aged women arriving here with the ‘longing eat pray love look’ as one person put it, hunting for spiritual awakening and a Diet Coke. Ubud is beautiful of course, but as rice paddies disappear for Western villas and hotels, as another family member leaves his traditional village to tout for taxi fares, as beggars start to push harder against the western walls that separate compassion from disinterest, and as expats look for the next mode of making a good buck in an economy likely soon to inflate like the egos of some locals featured in the book, one fears for the life of this kingdom.

various online histories this seems mythological, as Hinduism really grounded itself here around 1515. Irrespective of the true history and despite volcanoes and earthquakes, and the more troublesome human instigated disasters of recent years, there is a peace here that sinks into you. The smiles of the people seem almost to a person real and unforced, they really seem to love and accept what is. They have a healthy attitude to death. Their family structures are as strong as any in the world, their connection to the land, their reverence and honouring daily of the forces of nature are exemplary and beautiful even if some deem them overly superstitious. I think of the rituals of the Catholic Church or the beliefs of Judaism and even Buddhism, and what is practised here seems no stranger, less rigid, and certainly connected.

Detached Closing ceremony of the 2008 Ubud Writers Festival.

One taxi driver told me, ‘It will all be OK as long as the King keeps the faith of the people, holds to our culture, maintains the centre, but if the King should fall into the grip of western ideals then all may be lost.’ It’s not a question of corruption, just the incremental shift day to day from ancient values to the new glossy cover stories of fashion and fame. Simply, it’s a matter of focus. In the villa next door in usually quiet Penestanan an Indonesian family on holidays perhaps from Jakarta have their wide screen TV turned on to a soccer game. It’s 6 am! My new Canadian friend arrives in Kafe, the grooviest coffee shop in Ubud, where yoginis sip exotic morning juice combos and other cosmic jockeys talk Mayan calendars, Theta healing, sharing and drumming groups and the like. It’s just like Byron circa 1990, and that’s not a criticism. Peter says his village has been invaded. The film trucks are lining the rice paddies and cables lie about like snakes through the

normally placid village. Next day Peter comes in and happily informs us that he has managed to secure a day’s work as an extra on the film.

Different diva Passing through Penestanan in the morning a sign reads ‘Welcome Julia Roberts, Pretty Woman, we love you!’ with a big red heart. The sign hangs next to the traditional Sanga or gateway to the temple box, full of offerings to a different diva. Maybe it won’t be that bad. Maybe this place and this deep green culture will have the better of the western invasion. According to the broken English of one well-educated taxi driver it was as early as the 4th century that a Hindu Rishi came here from Java where he had had a vision that this island was the place that Hinduism would flourish. He pierced the earth in six places with a Kris, a sacred sword, thus releasing the hold of the demons in the land and establishing Hindusim in lasting harmony with the older animist religion of Bali. In the

Oddly much of what I experienced at the Writer’s Festival seemed detached from life here. I am still coming to terms with why I felt uncomfortable or dissatisfied with so many sessions, why the rumours of a full blown Festival orgy at somebody’s salacious palace might have titillated me but also made me wince, why talking ideas is wonderful, but sitting on the ground with the local families at the temple on their big day Galungan last week made more sense within the whole. That prayers and flowers and incense can trump a clever turn of phrase. I read only one book while here, Maya, by the author of Sophie’s World, Norwegian Jostein Garder. The very last paragraph reads: ‘Man is possibly the only living creature in the entire universe who has universal consciousness. So conserving the living environment of this planet is not just a global responsibility, it’s a cosmic responsibility. Darkness may descend one day, and this time the spirit of God won’t move upon the waters.’ I am sure the Balinese would agree.

His music is vast, spacious, like listening to cinema. A player and composer, he brings New York New York to Byron Bay Byron Bay. So what does Barney try and evoke in his compositions? ‘That answer changes with every one (piece), just like the sun hides behind clouds then suddenly beams through‌ My impetus or volition for writing music is always in flux. ‘I do find though, that trying to describe something specific with music helps to generate interesting stuff. I remember one time I had a piece that was unfinished and I didn’t know how to complete it. I was in a hotel room and there was a beautiful rainbow over the mountains outside. So, I decided to try to write that rainbow in music. The end result is a certain section of a tune called Flashbacks which came out great! ‘With Empathy Chip, we are trying to capture the feeling of humans being lost in an ever expanding technological world. Gian, our vocalist, plays the part of a pure human and the rest of us are droids, him bots, femme bots and robots. At times the music destroys and at times its beautiful and gives hope‌ So we are looking at the way technology is challenging the human condition and asking the question, will humans become like dinosaurs and will computers and robots self generate into the future?’ Silence is integral to Barney’s composition.

It makes you rethink what you heard and what you will hear, and then‌ what you do hear. I love it, we have sections of complete silence in our performance and at first it is uncomfortable but then‌ a new feeling comes and its quite a relief. We are all allowed to savour certain sounds more. It creates a tension and release. ‘Also, you get more time to ask yourself deep existential questions within the silences. That’s always fun.

Pubic hair may one day be a thing of the past. This current trend of full Brazilian doesn’t seem to be going away and now, not only girls but boys as well are reaching for the razor and removing their short and curlies. When I was a teenager, the growth of the first pube was a cause for celebration, it heralded the beginning of adolescence. You knew that once you’d reached the Rolf Harris stage of development, you were ready to leave home. (If your genitals started playing ‘tie me kangaroo down’ it was time to see a doctor.) Now pubes are bad. Embarrassing. Lasered, waxed and tortured. Poor pubic hair. It must have such bad self

You’ve got the Music… The Mullum Music Festival is not only bringing music to the streets of the vibing village, it is also committed to uncovering and nurturing the inner muso through a series of workshops scheduled for the weeks leading up to this much anticipated event. Adults and kids get their chance to get involved and get intimate with some of the stars of the event, and in some cases, to perform in the festival. First up is master Greg Sheehan’s unbearably fun Body Percussion class. Greg teaches participants to create their own rhythms using the instrument God gave you (that funky body) and creativity in four weekly sessions, then perform with the group on the Friday night of the festival at the Civic Hall. Open to teens and adults, and no experience is necessary. Having a body is

essential… you can turn that nobody into a somebody! The golden-voiced JoJo Smith is presenting a ‘Singing Sleepover’, on November 21 & 22. This two-day residential retreat involves singing, song writing and performance skills. And during the festival you’ll be able to experience the deepest joy of singing with the invincible Mr. Percival in his Ensembleous Spontaneous Vocalous Singing Workshop. Just back from a tour of the USA, singer/songwriter Suzanna Carmen will help you get a leg up on Songwriting. James Kenyon will teach participants how to use Loop Stations & Digital Effects to help master mixing effects with acoustic instruments and voice. And for those who long to learn more about music, directly from the source, check out The Life of A Hereditary Musician with west Africa’s Jali Buba Kuyateh.

I asked Frankie about the evolution of PF. ‘A few years back we started with the Frankie Band and it was more of an acoustic vibe, we started out jamming and recorded an EP and then the sound drastically changed, it wasn’t conscious, it was more out of enjoyment. Before I knew it I was buying pedals and effects and synth keys and it all seemed like it was great because it was like what we grew up on – 80’s pop.’ Hence the name: ‘Polaroid Fame’. Nothing gratifies like the instant pleasure of a polaroid! When it comes to 80’s pop Frankie admits to a love of the dark side of the moon with The Police, U2, Icehouse, Joy Division. For Polaroid Fame, part of the appeal is the relatively unstructured feel particularly in a live setting. ‘I think we do come across a little rawer than we do in the studio. I think that’s a good thing because you don’t want

it totally perfect. We definitely have taken it to a different level.’ As for songs that Frankie thinks have the pop magic? ‘Bowie’s New Jacket goes off. And it’s not a tribute to Bowie at all. It comes across that way, but basically every time we write a new song, Damo our guitarist has this way of coming up with random names.’ Splendour gave Polaroid Fame a taste of the big stage. ‘It’s amazing walking on stage. The electricity, the nerves… I had goosebumps. What blew me out the most was the complete professionalism of the whole event. It was just amazing to be part of it.’ Polaroid Fame have just supported Blue Juice and are soon to do a couple of shows with Operator Please. They play the Hotel Great Northern on Friday. They are also a featured act at Mullum Music Festival November 26 – 29 (see www. mullummusicfestival.com for program times). There latest album was recorded at Rocking Horse with producer Anthony Lycenko, and is available for download from www.polaroid fame.com for just $1. Check it out. It’s a limited time only.

Hele’s work has developed extensively in the decade and a half she has lived here. Its vibrancy and colour reflects the stark energy of the new landscape she calls home. Ellis currently has a retrospective exhibition

Seeing in Space Leigh Arnold is a Nimbin based artist who visualizes form and structure in a way that most others cannot. When Leigh was 45 he was diagnosed as being severely dyslexic, mildly autistic and having Asperger’s syndome. This was not explained to Leigh until he suffered a ‘whopping mental breakdown’ as he calls it, in his late forties. From his earliest childhood memories he began analyzing the complex patterns he saw in his grandmother’s Persian rugs. This led to a fascination with pattern and symmetry, together with the exploration of mathematics. Leigh can take a simple object like a cube, and by use of perspective and colour manipulation he creates a world which displays precise order in incredible complexity. His work has captured the interests of international art collectors from Nimbin to New York. The Australian Mathematical Science Institute commissioned two of his images to use as a logo and for promotional material for mathematic conferences. Another fan of Leigh’s ability to capture complex geometric patterns is Robert Bleakley, co

founder of Sotheby’s Australia who will be proudly opening the exhibition of Leigh’s most recent works, The Fabric of Space. See his website leigharnold.com and join him on the opening of his next exhibition The Fabric of Space at Zakay Glass Creations Gallery on Friday at 6pm.

Looking For Eric The best and the worst of what cinema has to offer arrived on our screens last week. British director Ken Loach is not one to mess with trifles. An uncompromising realist – his last feature, The Wind That Shakes The Barley (2006), was a brutal study of the Irish Troubles – he and long-time collaborator, writer Paul Laverty, have committed themselves to exploring the human condition through the everyday lives of people just like you and me. This time around Loach has introduced an element of fantasy into his story, with the iconic, retired French footballer Eric Cantona

playing himself but only visible to his namesake, Eric Bishop (Steve Evets) the postman. Bishop’s psyche is near total collapse. He lives with two uncontrollable teenage stepsons and is no longer able to cope with the pressures of the mean, daily grind. When his daughter asks him to share with his divorced wife, Lily, the responsibility of looking after her daughter while she completes her Uni degree, Bishop is overwhelmed by remorse for his past and the ache of surviving love that he feels for Lily. His workmates’ concern is all that keeps him from going under, until one night his idol, Cantona, the former Manchester United star, appears to him in his bedroom. The pair establish an intimate, dope-smoking relationship as Cantona advises Bishop on how to once again be a man. Loach then settles us snuggly in this world before introducing some villains into the piece who make Bishop’s other worries pale

All About Steve It is barely four months since Sandra Bullock charmed us with her intelligent, sensitive performance in the The Proposal. She was, it seems, flattering to deceive, for she has reverted to form in this no-brainer. Bullock plays Mary Horowitz, the crossword compiler for a Sacramento newspaper. As befitting of the capital city of the great state of California, the locals there are an erudite bunch who spend all their time nutting out these word teasers – they FULLY AIR-CONDITIONED EVERY WED ALL SEATS ALL SESSIONS $8 ONLY

do them in parks and public toilets and the puzzles absorb businessmen to the point that they cannot take their eyes off them as they cross the road. Mary has no guy, a tragedy not quite overshadowed by war, famine and global warming, and lives with her Catholic/Jewish parents. One day she is set-up on a blind date with news cameraman Steve (Bradley Cooper), whom she anticipates will be gay. Of course he’s not – he’s a stubblejawed, blue-denim dreamboat and Mary’s reaction to him is an appallingly written and acted piece of tripe, even by the undemanding standards of the genre. Speechless and smitten, she scurries back upstairs to change into something more enticing (and why could somebody not have told Ms Bullock that the red push-up bra does not work for her? I guess it’s not the sort of thing you say to the movie’s producer). The indescribably irritating Mary then proceeds to stalk the uninterested Steve and, early on, hails a ride by standing in front of a semitrailer – by the time the sorry tale has concluded you think back longingly to that moment and wish that the truckie had pulverized her while he had the chance. The lobotomized Cooper delivers a series of laconic smiles, Thomas Hayden Church finds some gravelly humour in his haggard journo (a tautology?) and there are lots’n’lots of lolly colours to divert the punters. The climax comes when Mary runs hysterically towards Steve, who is covering the rescue of some children from a mine collapse. Between Mary and her beau is a gaping black hole that is approximately five metres in diameter. And you know what she does? She careers straight into it. It’s the sort of gag that bombs in the more obviously contrived contributions to ‘Funniest Home Videos’ but, astonishingly, it drew a lot of laughter. With the rescue from the pit we get an injection of Train’s booming ‘Drops Of Jupiter’, but it is way too little, way too late to save what is a film of blinding stupidity. ~ John Campbell

magic. The principal characters are a 78-year-old grouchy widower Carl Fredricksen, (voiced by Ed Asner), a former balloon salesman, and his companion for this surprising adventure, an 8-year-old cub scout Russell (Jordan Nagai), who has a wilderness explorer badge (without any wilderness experience). The unlikely partnership between the old man and the bespectacled youngster sees them sharing an amazing adventure together. The trip begins with the aid of 20,622 helium balloons, allowing Carl

Up Up is directed by the same team that created Monsters Inc, Finding Nemo and Toy Story, but this film has human characters as the main focus supported by amazing visual

to fulfil the promise he’d made years earlier to his late wife, Ellie, to experience adventure and travel to some amazing location. He and Russell touch down near ‘Paradise Falls,’ inspired by the world’s tallest waterfalls in the jungle of Venezuela in South America. But the film’s pathos comes from Carl realising that his life with his wife Ellie was in itself an adventure more rewarding than travel to a distant land. Up is a modern classic with a beautifully nostalgic aura and a big heart that will draw in children and adults alike.

into insignificance. There are occasions when the broad Mancunian brogue is difficult to comprehend – a pub scene where the lads gather to watch Man U take on Barcelona defeated my companion altogether – but you never lose track of the straightforward, compelling narrative. Some prior knowledge of what it was that made Cantona unique is helpful (like Warnie, he was bigger than the game), but his smouldering presence is still there in spades (watch him play, imperfectly, La Marseillaise on his trumpet), and, for heaven’s sake, don’t be deterred because it contains football highlights. The clips of the goals are not many and they are essential in appreciating the charisma and genius of Cantona as well as explaining why so many of us need to look up to heroes (Lennon, Marley and Che hereabouts). This is a fantastic movie – beautifully plotted and superbly acted, funny and sad, redemptive and inspiring (‘I am Cantona!’), with loads of compassion and, through the mystique of the Red Devils’ number seven, a feast of Gallic philosophizing. ~ John Campbell

Dickens’ classic tale like you’ve never seen it before!

Television Guide 1. The teen comedy Mean Girls (TEN, Friday, 8.30pm) is a surprisingly funny take on a pointless and unsustainable subculture destined to be swept away by global warming as we return to the hills to grub for roots and berries. 2. Young fans of Dr Seuss might enjoy Mike Myers as The Cat In The Hat (NBN, Saturday, 7.30pm) but it is not rated as a gem in its genre. This is not to be confused with Mike Myers’ spy/bestiality crossover flick The Cat Who Shagged Me. 3. The dispiriting rounds of a health system are explored in the first-rate Romanian tragicomedy The Death Of Mr Lazarescu (SBS1, Sunday, 11.30pm).

There is an increasing consumer awareness of and demand for quality organic wines. For some time there has been a stigma attached to organic wines; that they cannot compete with the quality and avour of non-organic wines. They can, they do and now the organic wine merchants are proud to oer them to you Organic and bio-dynamic wines are grown and produced in harmony with nature. There are no chemicals, pesticides or herbicides used, and more importantly, there are none left in the wines that you drink, (noticeably reducing the eects the following day!) Moreover, they are farmed using sustainable practices that protect the future of the land for our children and grandchildren. The organic wine merchants are an agency that represents more than twelve wineries from across Australia and NZ, with a portfolio of 45+ wines.

STARS WITH LILITH

ARIES: While your ruler Mars has you hankering for centre stage position, the present planetary package is giving you plenty of stimulus to heal family feuds or fractured friendships. Tread carefully this week – don’t act out bad moods or have a cow just because someone pushes your buttons. TAURUS: Saturn’s move to your sixth house is known to promote lucrative new business partnerships or career alliances. Also to deepen relationship bonds, sorting the worthwhile ones from the time wasting kind for more harmony in your personal, social and business worlds. Not too shabby, eh Taurans? GEMINI: This week shimmers with new sparkle as a project dear to your heart gets an energy injection, job prospects develop promising potential and partnership possibilities blossom. Blame it on Saturn’s move to Libra bringing a major personal growth spurt and an upgrade to your creative talents.

Since 1995, when Kalmyk President Kirsan Iljumzhinov took over the reins at FIDE, the international chess body, the World Championship has become increasingly susceptible to the political whims of the FIDE President. The rot started in 1996 when Iljumzhinov announced that the world title match would be sponsored by Iljumzhinov’s friend Saddam Hussein and held in Iraq. Not surprisingly, the challenger Gata Kamsky, a US citizen, objected and eventually the event was moved to Kalmykia. No such luck for Israeli (and former Israeli) players in 2004 when the FIDE knock-out World Championship was hosted in Libya. After a series of inflammatory statements by the organisers about ‘the Zionist enemy’ never being allowed to compete, FIDE announced that part of the event would be held in Malta, but that option was quietly dropped and many players were forced to miss the championship. This week FIDE stooped to

As the Sun moves into Scorpio emotions shift from froth and bubble to nitty gritty and this week strives to balance light and heavy, tough and tender, bitter and sweet, known and unknown.

Some years ago my brotherin-law dropped a casual remark which I greeted with absolute gratitude. A group of us was sitting in a restaurant perusing menus and engaging in the usual rather pleasurable analysis and discussion which accompanies the outset of the dining-out experience. John said, in his cultivated English voice which renders most utterances polite, ‘I don’t actually like sharing.’ And so I discovered I was not alone. This is not a particularly shameful admission because it applies to one, not every, aspect of sharing. It applies to the restaurant situation wherein, much of the time, I have seen exactly the thing I wish to eat and I want to eat it all, every mouthful. And so the trend for shared plates, which seems not to want to go away, which has in fact been prevailing for much of the past decade, is one which is not to my palate at all. Tapas is part of this trend, or perhaps one of its manifestations: the notion of small plates deposited mid-table for all to pick at. In

a large group situation which isn’t about the food at all I enjoy this way of grazing as much as anyone else; when, however, I am anxious to try out a particular dish, or ingredient, or confluence of tastes, I am left unsatisfied and frustrated. I once had a discussion with a prominent restaurant reviewer and food writer about the tapas trend and we both agreed that a highly probable reason for its popularity lay in the nature of modern life itself: the need for instant gratification and to have it all, combined with short attention spans. So many places offer this style of ‘dining’ these days; some places will only offer this style of dining. Recently with friends I was at one such establishment. The three of us, women mindful of dreary conceits like calorie-counts and fatcontent, ordered three dishes: asparagus, a beetroot and goat’s cheese salad, a seafood dish. The waiter reminded us that the menu was designed for sharing when I had dared to express the crass desire to

At 188 Brunswick Street in Fortitude Valley a simple door leads you into alloneword – low black cushioned ceiling, cool bar, clever lighting – taking you through to an incredible outdoor space bounded by brick walls which have been covered in stencil art. Opposite the stunning Cloudland (definitely worth a visit, if not as shiny-new) is x&y bar, a live music venue, also in Fortitude Valley. A bar of the old school, it will host live music every night of the week. And in Queen Street in the city is Bar Barossa, a showcase of everything great about this fabulous wine region – not only the famous wines but also the produce. In addition it doubles as a restaurant.

Another piece of Byron Shire history was made last week when St. Finbarr’s Primary School sent the inaugural horse and rider team of five, to compete at the 2009 All Schools Equestrian Challenge. Team members Grace Tetley riding Denny, Allara Paxton on Crystal, Elkie and Ellie Richardson Henry and Daisy, and Jett Allen-Rhoades on Chloe enjoyed the event which was held over three days at Hawthorn Park in Grafton. The challenge, which was hosted by Grafton Pony club

and McAuley Cathlic College, attracted almost 300 riders aged five to 18 years competing in campdrafting, showjumping, dressage, show riding events and sporting events and teams travelled from Tweed Heads to Coffs Harbour and surrounding areas to take part in the event. The St Finbarr’s team manager Sherida Hill coached the team for several months before the event and her daughters, Kristy and Stephanie, assisted the girls with their preparation for the challenge.

placed in many of the events they competed in. They achieved a 5th place in the Overall Junior School team relay event, Mrs. Hill commenting on the school spirit and team sportsmanship displayed by the girls over the three day event. The girls, horses, parents and team supporters all arrived home exhausted, but thrilled with the team’s involvement and success. All are looking forward to future equestrian challenges.

Eureka ready to strike gold

Coorabell knockout region to take on state

The Coorabell team are pumped and ready for their trip to Sydney where they will take on the state’s best in the Small Schools Soccer Knockout. Eureka Public School relay team Jack Gordon, Sam McCarthy, Jesse McCarthy, Liam HarlandMeek will be hoping for gold at the NSW State Championships

Although small in number, the students at Eureka Public School continue to achieve big things. The school’s athletics P5 relay team has recently won at the district, zone and regional level and as North Coast Champions, will contest the event at the NSW State Athletics Carnival at Homebush next week. The P5 Relay event is for primary schools with an enrolment from twenty six to fifty four students, with the ‘Nigel Bagley Trophy’ awarded to

the winning team at the state carnival. In recent years Eureka Public School has won the first place trophy in 2006 and placed third 2007. This year’s team members are Jack Gordon, Sam McCarthy, Jesse McCarthy, Liam Harland-Meek and Nicholas Fisher and the boys have been training hard with their coach Rick Knight, to be ready to achieve their best at the state carnival. Rick coached the 2006 and 2007 teams, both of which included his younger son and

though Rick’s own sons have now moved on to high school, he has put in many hours on the track with this year’s team members to hone their skills, he has prepared them to be mentally strong and to work together as a team. The whole school community has rallied behind the athletes particularly to raise funds for the trip to Sydney. The boys have already proven to be great ambassadors for Eureka Public School, and the school community is very proud of them.

The Coorabell Public School soccer team recently travelled to the Eureka PS to play Rosebank PS in the Small Schools Soccer Knockout. The Coorabell team: Chaej Wrencher, Ben Leedom, Jye Brien, Flynn Brown, Dalamar Derofe-Gallant, Khan Wrencher, Sam Shepherd, Lauren Christian, Jy Paterson, Lily Christian, Emily Vos, Aubrey Cromwell, Morley Cromwell and Tane Wiley Goodwin, made it through to the finals which will be played at the Moorebank Sports Soccer Club Fields on Friday October 30 in Sydney.

Geckos beat Bankers to play Byron’s Full Tossers in Shand cricket final Very few are born with the desire to be Shand champions, but as a cricketer ages and the available options for sporting immortality begin to narrow, one tends to clutch at whatever is out there with increasing desperation. Sunday’s second semi final replay saw the big hitting minor premiers the Left Bankers take on the Geckos, the foundling love child of Seymour and Peter Wynne-Moylan, an ugly but likeable team. Pete won the toss for the Geckos and with an eye on the furnace-like conditions asked the Bankers to field. Trent and Matt opened the batting, Trent arriving at the ground already in his batting gear and wound up like the wheel nuts on a F1 racer. Like an immigration official he met everything early and sent it well beyond the boundary. Matt played well in support and with the famous Lomath Oval turf shaved as smooth as a bikini model’s inner thigh it was soon apparent this was a batsman’s day. Trent’s 30 came so quickly his departure nearly coincided with his arrival, and Matt and Dan, like auctioneers, kept www.echo.net.au

things moving at a cracking pace. Stewie and Russell took wickets just before the break but the Geckos had 101 on the board and the momentum of an overloaded B-Double down Bangalow hill. After drinks a second scalp to Russell and a run out pegged the Geckos back but Glenn and Adayha, like a good laxative, soon got things moving again. Like a referee having a good game, Glenn was so good you hardly noticed what he was doing. His 30 bought in Seymour, a man with ‘kiwi battler’ written into his gene code. His batting style is reminiscent of someone trying to toss sheep over a fence but he found the middle on a few occasions and bunted the Geckos to a fine score of 172 at the close. Banker openers Zac and Stewie, like ageing rock stars, had no time to lose. Zac savaged the bowling like a pit bull on a string of sausages, his 30 coming up quicker than an alcoholic’s breakfast. Mick took the first scalp for the Geckos but Litchy and Russell thumped away like persistent drummers busking outside a Byron cafe. Just before drinks

Adayha tore around the boundary and snared a great catch to remove Russell, and at 100 for 2 it was anyone’s game. The final session was a nailbiter as Snakebite Pete held his ground but wickets tumbled around him. Glenn held a great outfield catch and picked up a wicket with his loopy off spinners. Seymour and Dan chimed in with scalps and it was time for retirees Zac and Litchy to return. Thirty-eight were required off 36 and tension hung over the ground like the smell of a big kill at Sunnybrand. Snakebite dug in like a march fly on an exposed buttock and Zac set about the task with zeal. He added 12 to his original 31 but fell to the heroic Pete Wynne Moylan who came up with grass stains on his gleaming sun-screened dome as he dived underground to take a return catch. Last man in was Litchy who gamely nudged the Bankers towards the asking total. Eight were required in the last over and Adayha had the ball for the Geckos. Nervelessly he banged down six good deliveries, and though the

Backlash A typical scene in Burringbar Street, Mullum: a spruiker for Rainforest Rescue and a devotee of Krishna consciousness attempt to convince the other of the merits of their cause. Further up the street, a harpist and guitarist play among passing dogs. â– â– â– â–

Speaking of dogs, police or council rangers really need to get onto the pit bull up Wilsons Creek which savaged another dog the other week and caused horrific injuries, as did a rottweiler up Durrumbul way. A six year old girl got scalped by a dog in Sydney recently and it would be terrible to see something similar happen here. There’s really no excuse for dogs to be out of control in either an urban or rural setting.

pots such as The Tip Shop at Murwillumbah will be pleased to know that our council voted last week to establish a similar facility at the Myocum Landfill. Expressions of interest will be sent out to see if anyone is interested in running the tip shop, to be called ‘The Byron Shire Second Hand Shop’, for an initial 12 month period. Get behind it, folks, by contributing your unwanted items rather than trashing them, and by buying recycled goodies.

With the planning minister now calling in West Byron lands – see front page – we have to agree with this conclusion to an article by Andrew Clennell,

Former PM John Howard does not seem the obvious choice to head the national rugby league commission – have you seen him bowl? – but if the league dudes want him, why not? However Rabbitohs super fan and Labor minister Anthony Albanese has apparently lobbied to squash the idea. These pollies have no sense of humour. Backlash was looking forward to Mr Howard’s next soundbite: ‘We gave it a hundred and ten percent and rugby league was the winner on the day.’

The family of an elderly woman with dementia who collapsed in Alcorn Street, Suffolk Park, on October 16 would like to thank the kind souls who helped her out. She was helped to get back to her home by a stranger and then a neighbour called for an ambulance and stayed with the woman until everything seemed OK. You people are salt of the earth. No dogs please

state political editor for the SMH: ‘Ms Keneally thinks this story should go away – that the people of NSW should not be concerned about the lobbying of her planning officials. But that is unlikely. Not while developers are giving hundreds of thousands to Labor and people like Richo are meeting bureaucrats in coffee shops. Not while NSW remains a mates’ state.’
