Ocean Shores ready to turn 40

High Court denies Cohen leave to appeal The High Court of Australia has denied Greens MLC Ian Cohen’s application for leave to appeal on a defamation case ruled against him in favour of Suffolk Park developer Jerry Bennette. As a consequence Mr Cohen says he will be up for court costs of $1 million. ‘I am disappointed with the High Court’s decision and feel that the decision has put a very high price on sticking up for your mates and your community,’ Mr Cohen said. ‘As a result of the court decision I am now facing costs of approximately $1.015 million. ‘If someone wishes to speak their mind in this state then they had better have a million dollars up their sleeve – before they even start counting their own legal costs.

‘Tame by comparison’

Jan Larracy, then Rowley, was the first resident of Ocean Shores. Jan and husband Robert Rowley built the first home on the Ocean Shores Estate in 1969 and she was not a happy Jan. ‘When I first moved here I hated it. We had a lovely house in Kanandah Court but it was 18 months before anyone else moved to the area, but then I joined the golf club and got to know a few people and loved it from then on.’ Judy Anning has lived in the same house since the early days. Husband Jim Anning was sales manager for

developers Princess Properties and the Annings were one of the first ten residents. ‘I have lived in that same house for 36 years,’ says Judy. Barry Larracy is a longtime resident of Ocean Shores and a member of the golf club. President of the Ocean Shores Community Association (OSCA), Matthew Denehy, grew up in the area and is a second generation local. Charlie Diehm was a construction worker at Ocean Shores. Charlie was part of the team that built the Orana Bridge over Marshalls Creek commencing in 1973. Back then the cost of the bridge was $200,000. The ex-

cavation for the foundation pylons was done by hand. The bridge today remains an important link for all local communities. Jim and Jan Mangleson have been locals since 1972, being residents of Mullumbimby and Ocean Shores. Their family has grown up and settled here. These are the founding fathers and mothers of a town which is now home to the second largest population in Byron Shire and Ocean Shores is about to turn 40. ‘The town of Ocean Shores and its surrounding district is an important part of the Byron Shire,’ says Matthew

Denehy. ‘With a catchment population of about 9,000 people, together with Brunswick Heads, the Byron Coastal North contains some of the most beautiful ocean, river and rural areas in Australia.’ OSCA is having a party to celebrate the 40th birthday of Ocean Shores and all are invited. Come on Sunday November 22 at midday to the Ocean Shores Country Club and learn about the early days of Ocean Shores. Cost for lunch is $20, children $5. Phone 6680 1108 or 6680 3137 for a booking, or go to the OSCA website at www. osca.org.au for a lot more information about the town.

‘This was a meeting of friends; a community fundraiser. If you’ve listened to Parliament or players at a football or cricket match, you would realise that what I said was tame by comparison. ‘At a community fundraiser I said a few words in defence of a friend who was being sued and who faced losing his home – the stress later led to his family breaking up. It was an inconsequential, unprepared speech. ‘Seven years and more than a million dollars later I am in an unenviable position. I believe history will judge that I did the right thing by my mates. The result of my case shows that community activism comes at a high price.’ In March this year the NSW Court of Appeal overturned a decision in Mr Cohen’s favour and ordered him to pay Mr Bennette $15,000 in defamation damages plus Mr Bennette’s legal costs. The case brought by Mr Bennette stemmed from a 2001 meeting to which the developer has sent his agent to record Mr Cohen’s comments.

Still with heightened senses from a long stint at sea, mellowed, and looking like ‘leather couches’, Dave Rastovich and the Transparentsea crew are elated to have successfully completed their mission, kayaking 800kms from Byron Bay to Bondi for the sake of the whales and other marine friends. Buoyed by making a difference, living simply, and interacting daily with some of the planet’s most magnificent marine creatures, it was a journey that affected them all deeply. On Thursday November 5, the crew caught their final waves into Bondi, and were welcomed by hundreds of surfers and supporters. Rastovich told The Echo, ‘Our reintegration has been a success! We are all feeling pretty cosmic still, all a little slowed down and weathered, but excited to be home, and feeling so supported.’

Rastovich, Chris Del Moro, Hilton Dawe and Will Conner, all Byron locals except Californian Del Moro, sailed and paddled the entire distance, while 11 others took turns in the seat of the ‘guest’ trimaran. Guest paddlers included activist Howie Cooke and former world number five surfer, Matt Hoy. The activists interacted with coastal communities as they came to shore to camp for the night. Rastovich said ignorance of whaling issues is common, and our famed ‘pristine’ beaches were covered in litter, most of it plastic. ‘Most people we encountered knew that the Japanese target whales, but few knew to what extent. Many didn’t know that around 1,000 are killed every year, for no reason at all, and that these kills happen in our Sanctuary waters of the Southern Ocean. ‘Most were unaware that they also slaughter thousands of dolphins annually in their own waters. Plus, many people

were shocked to hear our own government was not keeping their word and defending our friends. I still can’t believe that Rudd and Garrett are not reflecting Australians’ desire for whaling to be stopped. ‘It was shocking to see how much marine debris was on our beaches that seem so clean from afar, but great to see people get motivated to make a difference through witnessing our beach cleanups through the Marine Debris Initiative. Seeing immediate change like that was so much what this trip was about. ‘From a global perspective, our coastline is such an amazing resource. We have a great opportunity to not only maintain it, but to better it. After interacting with the coast intimately, and seeing it from a new perspective, all of the crew feel a real and renewed responsibility to make sure it is appreciated by everyone.’ The crew collected more

rubbish in large bags than they could carry on every beach they came across. To get involved in the Marine Debris Initiative (run by the Surfrider Foundation Australia and Tangaroa Blue Ocean Care Society) visit www.oceancare.org. au. To support Sea Shepherd in their sole fight against the Japanese whalers, visit www. seashepherd.org. Rastovich assures us that receiving personalised letters of protest is like slow torture for Prime Minister Kevin Rudd and Peter Garrett MP. Encourage friends to write a pile. They can be addressed to The Hon Kevin Rudd MP, Prime Minister, Parliament House, Canberra ACT 2600 (and The Hon Peter Garrett MP, Federal Minister for the Environment).

Coastal plan gets mixed reception

BRIDGLANDS

Story & photo Eve Jeffery

Last Friday, opponents and supporters of Byron Shire Council’s draft Coastal Zone Management Plan (CZMP), met at the council chambers in Mullumbimby in a panel discussion. The main chamber and the foyer of the offices had been set up to accommodate a large crowd with the ‘action’ being piped into the foyer. Only 100 or so people attended the meeting and the extra seating was not required. The official speakers for the meeting included Byron Shire Council’s Coastal Officer Ben Fitzgibbon, BEACON’s Dailan Pugh, Dunecare’s Helen Brown, the Belongil Progress Association’s John Vaughan, Robert Rosen from Brunswick Heads, Andrew Hall representing the north of the shire and James Lancaster from Byron United. There were also two expert speakers, Professor Roger Tomlinsonson and Professor Bruce Thom who spoke about the impact of rising sea levels and managing the coastline. After the overview by Ben Fitzgibbon, Dailan Pugh took centre stage to begin the arguments for the plan. Mr Pugh spoke about the history of the coastline and suggested that we are in for a rising sea level. ‘Byron Bay’s town centre is built on an old swamp, with some of it only two metres above mean sea level. Floodwaters are already backed up into town at high tide. As sea-levels rise, and the cyclones return, floodwaters will rise and become more dangerous. This is irrespective of where Belongil Creek opens to the sea.’ Helen Brown from Dunecare agreed with the plan, though she felt the 20 metre retreat line fell short by 30 metres, concluding that, ‘I feel that this plan of management can

only help the area. I totally support this plan, all bar I think it should be 50 metres.’ John Vaughan shared his allocated two minutes with John Tauber from the Belongil Progress Association. Mr Tauber questioned the legality of defending one section of the population and and not another and suggested that councillors would each be accountable if the issue went to court. As he spoke for more than his allowed time, Mr Vaughan had to save his opinion until question time. Byron United’s James Lancaster said that in his opinion the plan was incomplete and unworkable and questioned the plan’s ability to succeed in its aims. He said that Byron United believes this community demands protection for all homes. Robert Rosen from Brunswick Heads demonstrated how even the seemingly protected village was under threat and also he felt that ‘Brunswick Heads had been bypassed by

the plan for a second time’. Representing South Golden Beach and New Brighton, Andrew Hall read submissions from various groups in the north who are all against the implementation of the plan. ‘Planned retreat is not being applied fairly and equitably throughout the shire,’ Mr Hall said. ‘Council has declared it will defend Jonson Street, “the commercial heart of the shire”. How about defending the domestic heart of the shire? The many homes affected by this broad policy? We disagree with the policy of not defending the public infrastructure. Three of New Brighton’s main roads are already within the 20 metre trigger zone. The cutting of these roads will effectively dismember the area and cut us all off from Ocean Shores and much of the shire. Contrary to what the CZMP says, these roads cannot be relocated, in fact, the emergency plan classifies them as evacuation routes.’ The meeting, facilitated by

Ken McLeod, ran smoothly and harmoniously with most behaving well. The only outburst was by Mayor Jan Barham who, after objecting to an opinion on a technical point, was allowed by Mr McLeod to spend a few minutes at the microphone even though she was not on the official list of speakers. One thing was clear from the passionate opinions delivered to the gallery, and that is that the question of the acceptance of the plan is becoming more of an issue of society and human rights than the environment. ‘In the Victorian bushfires, scores of people died defending their homes,’ said Mr Hall during his turn at the lectern. ‘There is a lesson there. People do not readily abandon their homes. There is nothing in the CZMP that softens or makes easier the incredible trauma of home abandonment. This stupid document is written as if it’s a mechanical or engineering problem.’

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.

www.echo.net.au

Some of the themes explored in the course are: The Quest for Meaning. The Elements. The Temperaments. Sacred Geometry. The Origins of the Earth & Humanity. The Evolution of Consciousness. Christology. Mystery Schools & Mystery Centres. The Birth of Modern Consciousness in the Renaissance. The Search for the Holy Grail. Life Phases: an Exploration of Biography. 8 week Introductory Course: $600 Monday 4.30 – 7.30pm and Wednesday 4.30 – 7.30pm Plus 2 Saturdays 9.30 – 3:30pm Commencing 8th February Venue: Cape Byron Rudolf Steiner School, McGettigans Lane, Ewingsdale Enquiries: Kristy Brake 0431 833 959 or Gerry Josephson 6684 8280 or (mob) 0406 788 050

Lifesavers enjoy their new tower Story & photo Eve Jeffery

Brunswick Surf Life Saving Club members and guests celebrated the much-awaited opening of the new patrol tower on Saturday. Councillor Ross Tucker cut ribbons of red and yellow, representing surf life saving clubs, and black and white which are the colours of the Bruns club and the tower was officially open – then it was back to the club for a celebratory drink and lunch. The new tower is a valuable asset to the Brunswick Heads community and to the patrons who use the beach. The structure gives a much higher view of the conditions and the people who are using the beach. The telephone and radio setup in the tower means that patrollers have much more ease of contact between each other and emergency services in the event of incident on the beach. The 50 volunteer patrollers will each take their turn in the

tower and there will still always be a presence on the beach itself. Patrollers are on a roster that sees them work a shift once every three weeks during the summer school term weekends and every second week-

end during the holidays, many giving up their Christmas and New Year celebrations in order to keep the beach safe. The Bruns SLSC members are very grateful to all the sponsors for the donation of

plans for the tower as well as cash and material donations. For more information about the club or how you can join, visit www.brunswickslsc.org. New members are always welcome.

Youngest skydiver takes the plunge The legal minimum age to skydive in Australia is currently 14 years – but 13-yearold local girl Maya Moses was granted special permission to do precisely that. Maya is the daughter of long-time staff member of Skydive Byron Bay, Alby Moses, who has recently made the decision to retire from the sport and the job after ten years. A tandem-master with the company, he served as Maya’s instructor on the day. According to Alby, it is only in Australia where this age limit to skydiving – or parachuting as it is otherwise known – is imposed, although it is his understanding that the body responsible, the Australian Parachute Federation which provided permission to Maya, is considering lowering it in line with other countries. ‘I took Maya because I was comfortable with my own skill levels’, Alby told The Echo. He

explained that his reason for retiring was ‘for a change... there are other things I am doing which require attention. [Skydiving] is such an energyconsuming career.’ He described the experience of ‘when you start jumping you never want to stop’; how, when he first started, he was skydiving every day and had to force himself to cut it down to four days a week. Is it dangerous? ‘No’, replied

Alby, ‘I’ve definitely had more injuries doing the gardening. It’s scary and exhilarating but... not statistically dangerous. The trip there in the car is more dangerous!’

He said that Maya had been ‘scared agreeing to do it and talking about it’ but when it came to the experience itself ‘she was actually relaxed and pretty level-headed.’ Maya, who was brought up around the skydiving culture, told The Echo that ‘it was absolutely amazing...it was different from what I expected – more exciting and less scary.’ It helped, of course, that the day was flawless. Maya is looking forward to doing it again. ‘It’s a great experience that everyone should have once in their life!’ Alby feels certain that, if not the youngest skydiver in Australia, she must surely qualify for that status in northern NSW.

November Fair a success

Peter Gauge, who helped Byron Shire kids and adults deal with anger problems with his own method of boxing training and meditation, has been inspired by Mullumbimby business chamber head Bev Norton to raise money for the disease which struck her down ten years ago. Bev, well known for her involvement with many of the shire’s business and community organisations, was a successful businesswoman in Sydney when she succumbed to third stage Sjogrens neuropathy. The disease killed off Bev’s peripheral nervous system leaving her wheelchair bound. Peter, who fought 75 fights as an amateur boxer, reckons Bev’s toughness in coping and recovering from the disease is something he’d never seen before and wants to help raise money for research into the disease this weekend during the Mullumbimby Show, running 30-minute sessions of his ‘Boxation’ classes. The ‘Box4Bev-athon’ classes will be held at the Mullumbimby showgrounds this Sunday from 10am and run for 30 minutes on the hour, every hour. Cost is only $5. For info call Peter on 0421 920 616.

There has been more than one occasion when rain has visited the Mullumbimby Public School’s November Fair, but this year the threatening clouds held their water and hundreds gathered at the schoolgrounds to eat, drink and be merry. The events had all the necessary requirements for a great fun family event, including a petting zoo, jumping castle and slide and of course the spinning tea cups. Other attractions at the fair were the fire brigade and truck, toy, plant and showbag stalls, the 10th annual sculpture show, face painting and the irresisitble smell of the the Lions

tralian photographer who has covered lesser known wars and conflicts in SE Asia for the last 20 years from his base in Bangkok. My Asian Heart picks up on Philip’s story in 2006 in Kathmandu in the dying days of the despotic Nepalese king as street riots, deaths of scores of people and thousands of arrests brings Nepal to a grinding halt. Bradbury and Blenkinsop are there to document the final standoff between the pro democracy forces and the king. Bradbury filmed Blenkinsop in action over a three year period in Nepal, China, Australia and Thailand. The film won critical acclaim when it showed recently at the Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane film festivals. It has been invited to several overseas festivals – in Rome, China and Mumbai. ‘I think you do have a responsibility when you are one of the few people there,’ says Philip. ‘Other journalists give me a hard time and say, “Forget about it Philip. It’s just a story. Get on with it.” I find that attitude very hard to stomach.’ In 1998, Blenkinsop smuggled himself into the jungles of East Timor to photograph the anti Indonesian Falantil fighters. In 2001, he slipped clandestinely into the Himalayan mountains to bring back pho-

A jury found the comments had conveyed the defamatory meaning that Mr Bennette was a thug and a bully who launched legal proceedings to stifle opposition to his developments. Mr Bennette said last week he was very pleased that defamation proceedings brought by him against Mr Cohen had finally concluded. ‘These proceedings were never about money,’ Mr Bennette said. ‘I brought these proceedings to stop what I regarded as a campaign… to destroy my reputation and my business. ‘Mr Cohen did not give evidence at the three week trial, but I did and was cross-examined for several days. ‘Before the trial, in 2004, I offered to settle these proceedings for $4,500. Mr Cohen did not respond to that offer, and, as a result, was ordered to pay the bulk of my legal costs – which were minimal in 2004 – on an indemnity basis. ‘Mr Cohen, who has himself brought a number of defamation actions in the past, only has himself to blame for the predicament he finds himself in. I look forward to the prompt payment of my legal costs.’ Mr Cohen has denied there was an offer to settle. However

Mr Bennette has sent The Echo a copy of a Supreme Court document dated January 29, 2004, which shows an offer of compromise which would entail Mr Cohen paying Mr Bennette $4,500 in damages and the plaintiff ’s costs. Since the judgement has become public, Mr Cohen said, ‘I have received broad interest in the community and I am getting small but consistent support from all sorts of unlikely areas. The Bankstown RSL sent me a cheque for $50 – that has to be gold and I am wondering if I should cash it or frame it. ‘Between some locals, the

conservation community, greens, etc I might make a dent in it and manage. My first days at home have been a roller coaster ride. ‘Some opponents are predictable but others who have good reason to ignore my loss have magnanimously said, “I don’t agree with a lot of what you say and do but I will support you on this one”.’ Mr Cohen has opened an account in which those wishing to help him can deposit money: Commonwealth Bank, Ian Cohen Defamation Account, BSB 062514, account number 10329868.

Emma’s artistic gift to Shearwater Lelli Brown

Emma Walker, having only just flown back from New York on Sunday, was at Waywood Gallery early on Monday morning to put the finishing touches on the Gifted art exhibition. Most of the 34 Gifted artworks were already in place, but it was only right that Emma should have the pleasure of hanging her own artworks in such celebrated company as John Olsen, widely acknowledged as Australia’s greatest living artist. Emma, a Shearwater mum and well established artist represented by the Tim Olsen Gallery in Sydney, has herself been dubbed ‘one of Australia’s most convincing and original painters’ although only in her 30s. Calling on her friends, colleagues and other artist parents, she has secured the contribution of artworks to create a gift of education (hence the exhibition title, ‘Gift-ed’) for Shearwater. Alongside a John Olsen limited edition print and her own artworks, there will be paintings, prints and sculptures from the likes of Angus Mc-

Saint Kevin stoned by the left o Saint Kevin’s halo has finally slipped.

Local young people trying to do the right thing are getting It’s a big swing, perhaps too frustrated by youth violence and the subsequent attitude big to be entirely credible; even which tars all youth with the ‘problem’ brush. That expression with a gut issue like the asyof frustration is aired in the letters pages this week and on lum seekers going full blast, it’s page 16 in a response by parents who helped organise the hard to believe that well over a Halloween event unfortunately marred by violence at the Drill million voters deserted Labor Hall, Mullumbimby.

Even if caucus could be convinced that it was the only option, the party rank and file wouldn’t wear it and crucially the trades unions have come out strongly on the side of compassion.

These, it might have been thought, would have been precisely the kind of voters who might have deserted Labor over the issue. Instead they appear to have moved the other way, and clearly this increases the pressure on Rudd to do the same. By the end of last week something close to a consensus was emerging from the broad left: Rudd’s mantra of ‘hard-line on people smugglers but humane to asylum seekers’ was at worst self-contradictory and at best meaningless, and no amount of radio barnstorming by Rudd was going to convince the punters otherwise. It was time to cut the political losses and go back to basics and the best way to do that would be to allow the Oceanic Viking to

“I never want to have to cross the street to avoid you.”

more importantly it would involve asking Rudd himself to eat a very large shit sandwich, which would be not only totally against the man’s nature, but perhaps highly counterproductive politically. Undoubtedly the most striking aspect of the Newspoll was that while it showed a dramatic drop in support for the party, almost none of the odium seems to have attached itself to the leader. Rudd’s personal approval rating was marginally down but his lead in the preferred prime minister question was as commanding as ever. Unquestionably he remains by far the party’s greatest electoral asset, and the party cannot afford to be seen to be slighting him. This, of course, is the great dilemma facing all his internal critics, but particularly those from the left. Some of his stances regularly outrage them: the attack on photographer Bill Henson, the sellout of the Emissions Trading

Scheme to the polluters, the appointment of Peter Costello … the list goes on, and the refusal to admit the Tamils has now been added to it. Many can’t wait for the glorious day when he will make way for their own saviour, Julia Gillard. But they know – or at least the serious ones do – that they can’t afford to push him. The halo might be slightly awry, but out there in Voterland he’s still Saint Kevin. He is after all, the prophet who led them through the wilderness of the Global Financial Crisis and at least gave them a glimpse of the lucky country on the other side. Happily for the government the magnitude of this achievement should be most apparent in the forthcoming Christmas holidays, with booming retail sales, a resumption of domestic tourism and a general feeling of economic bonhomie. Compared with the horrific forecasts of a year ago, it will seem like some kind of miracle. The season to be jolly indeed, and definitely not a time for carping and niggling about whether, with hindsight, the stimulus package should have been handled a little differently. And in any case, the big news is going to be Copenhagen and climate change, and Rudd has already started ramping up the rhetoric on that. Of course the Rudd-haters in the commentariat are already saying that he’s only doing it to divert attention from the asylum seekers and Newspoll, but they would say that, wouldn’t they? Rudd (well, the ALP, actually) might have lost some of its lead, but he doesn’t have to panic about a blip in the polls – at least not yet.

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. At Brunswick Holistic Dental Centre we have married our holistic approach to health care with the latest advances in dental techniques and technologies to provide our patients with the highest standard of care and service.

Letters Go to the show I’m thrilled the Mullumbimby Show is on again! After thinking (for years) I should go and not doing so, some friends and I finally got ourselves along to the show two years ago. There we discovered a local slice of the Royal Easter Show. To our surprise we had so much fun we went both days and made a commitment to go together again the next year. Then it was cancelled! Oh no, another of Mullumbimby’s cultural icons falling quietly by the wayside. It was with great delight to hear a new committee of volunteers willing to put in the work to run it again. Thanks, guys. And the program looks better than ever! These small rural shows are a part of our living history, not to mention a great country day out. I’m getting out my Akubra. Hope to see you all there.

Think creatively for youth I respond to Victoria Cosford’s news report in the last Echo, as I feel we as teenagers have been misrepresented as a violent and out of control youth group. On Saturday night a wellorganised Halloween party was held at Mullumbimby Drill Hall. It started at 7pm and went to 11pm. There were no drugs or alcohol permitted in the venue. A paid DJ was hired for the duration of the night. There was one professional security guard and four middle-aged male parents who were at the event the whole night. It was a $5 donation and anyone who was under 18 was invited. There was obviously illegal alcohol consumed by some people outside, but this is an

issue many communities deal with as we come to terms with the reality of how little there is to do in small towns. A fight started, which got quite violent. It was broken up by the security guard and the four fathers, not the police. Police cars and policemen were outside the hall just ‘keeping watch’. To say that this was an ‘unorganised’ party is an entirely wrong statement. The event was organised by my friends and their parents. They even organised four free buses to bring teenagers to and from the venue. This should not be blamed on the organisers, as this was a party to keep youth off the streets, which police and adults seem continually to cry out for.

À i Ê i>`Ê+Õ>ÀÀÞÊ >ÀÌ Ü À Ã

It’s really hard being part of the so-called ‘problem youth’ because there is so little to do in this town. When the fight was broken up by the security, the police stopped the party an hour before it was supposed to end. If we can’t organise these events in venues, then what else are we to do than walk the streets? It’s time the community started to think creatively about how to stimulate the youth of this region in an interesting way.

Greedy pollies Yet another pay rise for the greedy politicians who are already over-generously lavished and self-promoted. Consider our young servicemen who are paid a pittance serving their Queen and country, putting their lives on the line, being picked off daily – young men in their 20s. Pay these lads the same rate equal to the grasping politicians. Douglas Warth

Encourage public transport required by neighbours. Farmers also combine in a region at the time of high need labour inputs such as at harvest time. All of this assumes wholesale movement towards polyculture, reducing oil use, and a greater gardening approach for primary food sources. In this way, journeys to town lessen and independence from Woolworths becomes possible. Undersubscribed trains are a result of the society refusing to find means of living so that car use becomes unnecessary. Pulling up the tracks is pretence that the ecology can handle unmitigated car and plane use. It is a greater short-sightedness than the puling up of tram tracks in Sydney in the late 1950s because unlike then, at the present moment there is little doubt that the car is the singlemost commodity responsible for Australia’s out of control greenhouse gas emissions.

â–

Rhys Daniell suggests (Letters, October 27) that the amount of passengers filling buses on train routes over, say, a two year period, would provide an indicator of whether train services if returned, would be fully subscribed. It is, however, the simplification of a wholistic environmental problem. Encouraging public transport, of which trains are a part, precedes the discouragement of private cars and domestic plane use. Public transport also becomes more viable as population moves into rural areas to feed and clothe itself in ecovillages (read, intentional communities), that have enough land to provision the villages in food, clothing and building timber. Existing rural villages are also retro-eco-fitted. A major component of agricultural sustainability is movement rurally, not toward self -sufficiency, although that is an ideal, but toward rural interdependence, where small farms reach for self-sufficiency but save labour in the production of value-added commodities

the simple resolution suggested by R Daniell is simply devoid of understanding the situation presented to those among us who have difficulty to mount buses at all. The reason people need the trains is so that they can actually board the train at the station. Wheelchairs, prams, walkers etc are easily wheeled into the carriage, and also there is a toilet in the ‘C’ carriage where infirm people can completely meet their needs. What a waste of time and money running buses for two years! More costly to repair the bridges etc that need doing now. Disabled citizens are being treated as second class citizens by NSW government. Most of the people who settled here years ago did so because there was a rail system in use. After paying their fares for years, they now find travel impossible for medical and family Geoff Dawe reasons.

on slopes greater than 20%. I live on a Multiple Occupancy (MO) property on The Pocket Road and I can tell you firsthand that when I applied for a 4-share MO years ago, Council told me I could only have three shares, as they had changed the size requirements since my consultation with the planners. The size change was due to a revision which excluded land over 20% slope. I was advised to withdraw my DA and to submit another. They also refused a shareholder a house on the ridgeline on my property as they said that would detract from the rural natural landscape of the area. I accepted the changes, complied with the BRSS, and could see the eco-logic of the their changes. Peter’s letter stated that 27 out of the 46 total proposed Davis/ReGenesis house sites are on steep slopes. The Boyd Warren DA shows that several of the 11 proposed MO sites

appear to be on more than a 20% slope. And several of the proposed ReGenesis sites are on top of ridges, clearly against Council policy. What has happened that Council has not stopped these applications before they are even submitted? Where are the teeth of our planners? That used to be the job of the Council’s planners, to look over a proposed DA and advise the applicant what was suitable and what was not going to meet the codes of practice, and send them home to amend their proposals. What are the Council planners for, if not for that purpose? I think that’s what we pay them for. Council must follow the same guidelines when looking at all the 57 house sites now being proposed by these three developers in Main Arm, and not allow those on steep slopes over 20%, or on ridgelines. If these steep sites and those on ridgelines are rightfully re-

fused, as Council did for my application, and for many others, perhaps the net result would be a much smaller, more reasonable development, with less negative impact on the community. I think any sane-thinking person would agree that 57 more houses in Main Arm is totally ridiculous and completely inappropriate. Imagine 57 more cars (that’s if they are only one car families, which is not likely) on the Pocket and Main Arm Roads! Annapurna McQueen

Let’s big it up for our teachers ■I am writing to commend the principal and staff of Wilsons Creek Public School. The extraordinary efforts of this group of dedicated and professional individuals have recently been recognised by the directors of the NSW Department of Education for their continually high standards of teaching, resulting in consistently outstanding academic records. They have also recently excelled in the Les Peterkin Art

Portrait Prize. It is refreshing to know that these standards still exist and that the balance of education versus creativity is not compromised, and, in the words of the department, consider this as a ‘role model school’. A personal thankyou is extended by myself to these dedicated and gifted individuals, but also to the local community and parents who value the importance of education, in all forms, and the

the greenhouse gases. Of this one orange 98% will be water vapour. So cut out a thin piece of rind from this orange the size of a five cent piece. This now represents the remaining greenhouse gases. Argon is 9%, CO2 is .03%. Varying trace amounts of hydrogen, ozone, methane, carbon monoxide, helium, neon, krypton and xenon make up the rest. By the way, don’t confuse carbon MONoxide with carbon DIoxide, two entirely different things. So now, from the five cent size piece of rind, cut out a piece about a quarter the size of a grain of rice., and that is being generous. (Now we have to start using the microscope.. This represents the 385ppm of CO2 that’s been scaring people. But wait, there’s more: 86% (CO2) of this quarter grain of

rice comes from natural sources and 14% from the burning of fossil fuels. You will need to up the microscope’s magnification quite a few times to find Australia’s contribution. For the past decade the earth’s temperature rise has plateaued and CO2 has continued to rise at the rate of two parts per million per year. At present, according to Mauna Loa Air Monitoring Station, CO2 is 388ppm. CO2 is as essential to plant life on the earth and phytoplankton in the ocean as is oxygen to animal life. In fact if CO2 was ever to fall below 180ppm all life on earth would cease to exist. Australian industries produce a microscopic amount of CO2 compared to other countries and the Rudd government is anxious to introduce a CPRS (Carbon Pollution Reduction

Scheme). Note what the ‘CP’ stands for, Carbon pollution. Since when and by whom has CO2 been classified as a ‘pollutant’? We drink it in aerated drinks, (yes, those bubbles are pure CO2), large commercial nurseries pump it into their greenhouses at rates from 500ppm to 1200ppm to improve plant growth and health. If the CPRS bill is passed, manufacturers who must purchase emission trading units will simply pass on this expenditure to the consumers. Emission pricing will have the greatest impact on emission-intensive utilities, such as electricity, gas and other household fuels. According to the CPRS White Paper, the average household is expected to spend an extra $4 per week on electricity and $2 per week on gas and other

Are fears of an eroding Byron coastline justified? ■The ‘planned retreat’ concept

detailed in the draft Coastal Zone Management Plan may be quite appropriate if sea levels rise significantly as a result of climate change. However, it is unjustifiable to enact its provisions before there is an actual change in the environment that affects the coastal geomorphic processes. Much of the fear that is behind the philosophy of this document is the assumptions that the coastline is eroding, it is only going to get worse with climate change, and government will be liable for paying to try to protect property against an inevitable fate. But is this fear justified in New Brighton? Aerial photos taken in 1958 show that the present dune system is actu-

ally broader than it was back then. The fact is that the frontal dunes are currently cut back, but are still better than they were for most of the last 30 years, and will rebuild as part of a natural cut and fill cycle which has nothing to do with climate change. The main causes of dune destabilisation in New Brighton were sand mining in the 1930s, and the Brunswick River sea walls which were built in the 1960s and stopped natural sand movement along the coast. The later event was acknowledged as being pivotal when a series of cyclones caused property loss in the village of Sheltering Palms in 1972, south of New Brighton. This disaster has remained in the collective memory as ‘the

coastline is unstable’. While the fear remains, the beach has been rebuilding thanks to time, dune rebuilding programs and the reinstatement of the sand movement across the mouth of the Brunswick River via sand bars, bringing us to our present, more stable state. There may be a time for ‘planned retreat’ if we acknowledge that potentially, a rise in sea level may result in our current coast line being no longer sustainable. An agreed increment of sea level rise, which would put property at actual risk rather than potential risk, could be the trigger for this policy to be enacted. Whether we reach that trigger will depend on what the world population does to prevent it and on which computer model Mother Nature eventually decides was right. Current credible predictions range from 0.1m (not an issue) to more than 7m (snorkel tours of Jonson Street). Until then, a positive plan of dune management and restoration involving soft engineering works and revegetation would be much more acceptable solution to build up our beaches. Rock groynes and hard engineering works should not be implemented as they only shift the problem. Healthy dunes would prevent damage to homes and Council infrastruccontinued from page 13

A beach management plan would also be much, much cheaper than the legal bills the ratepayers are now paying and will pay if Council ever tries to prematurely enforce this policy.

An attempt to assist young people

Community services work with schools to address youth challenges

Parents involved in organising the Halloween party at the Drill Hall in Mullumbimby present their view of the violent incident on the night.

It’s an age-old issue; young people in the transition to adulthood. They tend to engage in risk taking behaviour, demand more independence from family and question rules and authority. Parents, schools and community have always experienced challenges. And yet, it has been well documented that young people today are dealing with modern pressures at an earlier and earlier age. There are high expectations around alcohol and drug use and sexual expression. And with the increased reach of technology, issues of bullying, violence and risk taking have intensified. The Family Centre, based in Tweed Heads South, has developed the REALskills program in response to these issues and has delivered it to five high schools in the Tweed Shire over the last 5 years. With some additional funding from FaHCSIA, REALskills will now increase its reach to include the Byron Shire. Staff and parents from Byron Bay and Mullumbimby High School together with Council and local community and health service providers are planning to work together to adopt the REALskills processes and programs to address the challenges facing young people

Contrary to recent reports, the Saturday Halloween party at the Drill Hall in Mullumbimby was organised by two year 9 girls, one from Byron High and one from Mullum High. The 18 year old is not fighting for his eye; according to his sister he went to hospital with a punched eye and ribs but has not sustained any serious injury. An experienced drug and alcohol Counsellor, a hired security person and eight parents, many of whom have been actively involved with youth events for years, supported the girls in this event. As safety was a priority, the police were notified some weeks before and asked to do ‘drive-bys’. Free transport was arranged to include students from Byron Bay and it was anticipated that students from Mullum High as well as Shearwater would attend. Given the low level of community events for these kids, this group of parents wanted to support the resourcefulness and enterprising spirit of these girls. Rather than the usual Halloween havoc, it was an attempt to create something more cohesive and contained, with strategies to combat alcohol use in place.

Police arrived around 9pm as reported, however soon left when it was apparent that the event was fulfilling the anticipated function, ie getting teens off the street. According to the drug and alcohol counsellor present, a very small percentage of youth arrived with the intention of creating trouble. Police dropped off one young boy who had already been ‘stalked by older boys’. The violent events that followed were a direct result of this small percentage who seemed to premeditate a territorial conflict. This was much to the disappointment and frustration of all present who were enjoying a great party up to that point. When the fight began within the grounds, those involved were immediately removed

from the party zone to not endanger anyone else. At this point the police were called in as four of the male parents and the security person attempted to separate the combatants and resolve the issues. The fights then started breaking out all over the street and the police arrived in time to assist them in regaining control. One very aggressive young man was detained and several of the others were told to go home by the police. The music was then shut down 40 minutes before transport had been scheduled to collect the kids. With the constant police presence no further violence occurred at the site. Close attention was placed on getting the many young kids there picked up or bussed safely home. Some young boys reported having to ‘run through town’ to avoid being assaulted to get home. The girls who initiated the party were close friends of Jai. Jai’s father Steve Drummond held a small gathering at Jai’s memorial on Monday. He still struggles to find answers. A woman, whose son and friends were assaulted by two carloads of older boys in Billinudgel the day after the party, attended the gathering and seemed at a

complete loss at what to do. The aforementioned young man who had been detained by the police was one of the assailants. This is also the boy named as having had a beer bottle smashed over his head the night before. Alcohol is only part of the problem. This is not just happening at parties. One parent said, ‘When you support an event like this it becomes clear what some of these boys are living with, it becomes visible.’ The extent of the violence is shocking, but when we see it then we can begin to pay attention and maybe begin to look for strategies to assist them, or their families who struggle to deal with it. The parents who supported their daughters and their friends to celebrate for the night are ‘humbly apologetic for any physical, mental or emotional trauma that was received by any of the kids involved’. The girls are distraught. ‘Surely we have the right to have public gatherings without violence happening. I am so disgusted; it’s only a month since Jai died. That violence is so scary, it’s not just people wanting to teach a lesson, it’s like “I want to kill you’”.

The Family Centre will be facilitating a community process that will see programs being delivered in the two high schools in early 2010. ‘The first step is a Community Bridging workshop, being held on Wednesday, November 18, at Byron Bay High School,’ said Sue Basser, REALskills project coordinator. ‘We are inviting schools, student representatives and P&Cs, community and health service providers and independent counsellors and facilitators to attend the day, so we can design a strategy that will work best for the Byron Bay and Mullumbimby communities. ‘REALskills stands for relationship education and life skills. ‘It provides a range of programs that give students, parents and teachers the skills to navigate this challenging time. It is a whole school approach. ‘The real success of REALskills is that programs are delivered by a partnership between community service providers and high schools. ‘We work together and build community around young people.’ Anyone interested in attending the workshop should contact Sue Basser suebass@spot. com.au or on 0404 486 712.

Drama opportunities for local youth At a time when youth violence and disaffection are headlining news stories, two local film and television professionals have been ‘spurred... on to do something, to give them a voice and [the means] to use self-expression in a more positive way.’ Producers and creators Deborah Cox and Fiona Eagger – also the team behind the television drama series East Of Everything – are offering drama workshops in late November for teenagers wishing to develop stage and screen performance skills. An initiative in conjunction with NORPA together with playwright Janis Balodis and theatre director Julian Louis, the workshop will run over two days on November 28 and 29 as part of the development of a NORPA play entitled Engine. Fiona and Deb have formed a new production company called

Deb Cox and Fiona Eagger.

Every Cloud which, teaming up with NORPA, will document the workshop, using the camera as a tool for critical performance feedback. Deb told The Echo that ‘for a while we have been interested in developing youth dramas in the area... NORPA have the same interests so we’re pooling resources.’ Fiona explained that the workshop was ‘ about play as theatre and performance, finding the humour in situations,

imparting skills to people [and showing] the craft of how to construct a story.’ She talked about the potential ‘to harness kids’ energies and get them concerned’ as well as to enable them ‘to see life beyond the immediate.’ In addition to the workshop Deb and Fiona with their new production company visualise it as ‘ a good way of consolidating the creative community.’ ‘We wanted to create a sus-

tainable base here in Byron,’ explained Fiona. ‘There are a lot of talented people up here who work out of the region, and [our aim is to] join forces and partner with other people across the region. ‘We firmly believe in the possibility of running a major production company from this regional base – contributing to industry momentum, improving continuity of employment opportunities for training and mentorship and supporting cooperative alliances with a range of creative producers across various media.’ NORPA and Every Cloud are calling for participants aged 14-18 to audition for the workshop. Auditions will be held in Lismore on November 20 and Byron Bay on November 21. Young people wishing to audition should contact Marisa Snow from NORPA for additional information by emailing producer@norpa.org.au.

A community where every child is somebody How to create safe and respectful communities where children and young people are known, included and watched out for, is the focus of a conference being hosted by Southern Cross University’s Centre for Children and Young People (CCYP). Keynote speakers for the day are Professors Gary Melton and Robin KimbroughMelton, from the Institute on Family & Neighborhood Life, Clemson University, South Carolina, USA. The couple is well known internationally for their innovative work around promoting the safety and wellbeing of children and young people. Also a keynote speaker is Associate Professor Geoff Woolcock from Griffith University, a national expert on creating

child-friendly communities. They will be joined by an expert panel to explore examples of ‘good practice’ initiatives, nationally and internationally. Professor Anne Graham, Centre for Children and Young People director, pictured, said the conference was particularly significant because it coincided with the 20th anniversary of

the signing of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. ‘As a community, we need to take a close look at the extent to which we cherish children and are prepared to work together to foster environments where they feel known, respected and cared for,’ Professor Graham said. The importance of the safety and wellbeing of children and young people is now firmly reflected in a wide range of state, national and international policy initiatives. ‘However, improving children’s lives and experiences requires that all those working with and for them – in schools, child care centres, child and family welfare services, health, local councils, businesses, sporting groups, churches and

so on – have a shared understanding of the value and importance of children and young people within the community, what they need and how best to engage with them. Only then will it become easier for everyone to notice and care for them and for their parents. The conference is titled ‘Where Every Child is Somebody: Communities of Respect for Children, Young People and their Families’. It will be held on Thursday November 12, at Invercauld House Conference and Function Centre, 161 Invercauld Road, Goonellabah. For more information, or to register, contact Wendy Britt at the Centre for Children and Young People on 6620 3605 or visit the Centre’s website at www.ccyp.scu.edu.au.

Travelling wildlife, us, and coastal corridors Mary Gardner

At the water’s edge, the mangrove seedling puts down roots and makes a claim for a future forest. I love seeing it grow but I am uneasy as well. The calm nook looks ideal. A couple of other seedlings are also settling in. There are also dozens of bitou bush seedlings there too. But the water is quiet only because the sand bar blocks the creek mouth. A touch of history and a glance at the overall habitat assures me that this is a temporary arrangement. This forest extension might develop, though this zone is stalked by other powers. There is an entire catchment of water runoff from the west plus a surging restless sea from the east. Won’t the sand bar break within the next five years, be-

fore these seedlings are trees? Should this forest get underway, it could provide new roosts for birds and reptiles as well as more feeding areas for aquatic life. If and when the sandbar breaks, the plants will likely die though the birds, reptiles and fish will shift along. After all, this edge is only a part of the network of places that suit. But then again, that network is only as strong as its corridors. ‘Currere’ is an old word from Latin meaning ‘to run’. Ecologists use it to describe the routes wildlife take over time. Often animals will live in one area but mate and raise young in another. Or, depending on youth or agedness, they must shift away into other areas. Or their food supply changes seasonally. Or their urge to roam simply must be heeded.

Plants also travel, though they often do this as pollen, seeds or fruit. Birds and bats carry these over appreciable distances, making forests start somewhere else. The routes birds and bats take are revealed when they carry seeds marked with fluorescent dye. The animals tend to travel along forested corridors rather than across clearings. The study of these travel and dispersal patterns is a new branch of science. Corridor ecology is informing the proactive part of restoration efforts. The work is on scales as great as the old damage to the landscape. One of the world’s largest projects is the Yellowstone to Yukon (Y2Y) Conservation Initiative. This mountain ecosystem corridor is aiming to provide ‘freedom to roam’ for grizzlies, deer, birds and fish. Harvey Locke, Canadian lawyer and environment activist, says that for years now most parks and reserves have proven to be too small and isolated for wildlife to survive. Also the urgency to adapt lifestyles to climate change is as great for wildlife as for humans. He asks the obvious: why not link solutions for climate change with solutions for conservation?

To do so, Locke is talking with the world’s government leaders about Kyoto and Copenhagen. He explains saving old growth forests and establishing corridors are ‘large scale nature conservation [works that] are first-order climate strategies’. In Australia this November, he is visiting the ambitious Great Eastern Ranges program. From the Australian Alps to Atherton Tablelands, this is a 2,800 kilometre corridor to link parks, reserves, rural and urban forests. One of the first five priority areas is from The Border Ranges to Tweed and Byron. This links the efforts of every farm and town restoring streams and paddocks of the Big Scrub region with other landscapes

Farmlands are being reverted to wetlands or enabled to double as flood ponds as needed. So are parking lots. Houses are relocated before any further flooding. Resorts are transformed into inland fisheries. Homeowners, farmers and shareholders get returns whatever the weather. According to the Stockholm Resilience Centre, such landscape changes affect the nine ‘planetary boundaries’. These ‘boundaries’ are issues with ‘tipping points’ that, once crossed, force changes on many habitats and species. No return is possible quickly, if ever. This is the leading edge of ecology. It’s also the latest special feature of the prestigious magazine Nature. Johan RockstrĂśm’s co-authors include Will Steffan, a researcher with the Stockholm Centre who is also the chief executive of Australia National University’s Climate Change Centre. The world’s experts are our experts too. So how about we reach for the best advice from everywhere and start a visionary coastal corridor project of our own? As developers and planners for wildlife, we might also learn how best to adapt our own nests, warrens and corridors.

Overwhelming first contact with white people Catherine Baker

In 1964 Yuwali was 17 years old, one of the Martu people of Western Australia. But her traditional desert life disappeared into memory in that year, the year of the Blue Streak rocket tests from Woomera. Fortunately, Yuwali has a formidable memory – sensual, informed by feeling. It is the immediacy of this feeling, and the absence of moralising, that gives the next Mullum Flicks feature film its integrity. Winner of Sydney Film Festival’s Documentary award, Contact is also visually hypnotic in its use of desert imagery to evoke We see Yuwali, now 62, Yimirii, a freshwater spring the Martu bond with the land. returning with her family to in the middle of a salt lake: ‘Yimiriri! we’ve brought our kids back to you!’ It was here that Yuwali along with 19 of her people first saw the ‘rocks that came alive’ (cars) and whitefellas with ‘dishes on their heads’ (hats). It was her country, but it was also at the heart of the designated ‘dump area’ where Blue Streak was set to crashland in 1964. As former patrol officer Terry Long comments, ‘Most people had “come in�. We really didn’t expect to find anybody out there.’ What follows is a game of cat and mouse as the Martu do their utmost to escape the ‘monsters.’ A surprising five days of heavy rain helps get the 68!tuvbsu!tusffu-!nvmmvncjncz!OTX!3593 rocket launch delayed. q0g!13!7795!7667 Contact shines in interweavf!wjdupsjbAsbxtupsf/ofu/bv

both to the north and south. But not every species looks to Zion. Closer to the sea, conservation groups to the south are suggesting the government manage the entire Lake Macquarie barrier dune as a single Green Corridor. Not only would animal and plant species be more able to travel, or rest as required, but so would water. Room for water to roam is also critical. Imagining a coastal corridor all the way from Hastings Point to Ballina is easy for the likes of oystercatchers, bats and koalas. They would like the bonus river detours too. Seeds from paperbarks, wattles and sheoaks can see it too. So do mangrove seedlings. With some help, people can also imagine coastal networks. In October, Dutch specialists finished a year’s work with the managers of San Francisco to help them adapt the city’s infrastructure for the future. The Bay’s sea level is already up 22 centimetres since 1900. In 1995, the Dutch evacuated 200,000 people and untold animals during the river floods. Since then, facing sea level rises as well, they have not built higher levees or more windmill pumps. They have imagined ‘living with water’.

ing the memories and feelings of those still living with the original 1964 footage. For me, one of the most moving moments follows the Martu decision to come into the whitefellas’ camp. It was literally the moment of first contact, which was filmed and photographed. A beautiful, balanced and gracious film.

VIMPs consider VFSO without CDs C U R T A I N S Margo Sutton

A few friends from OS, both M and F, and all H for hetero – (and there’ll be a lot more capitals before we’re through) – were visiting the Byron Shire. The discussion lingered on a recurrent local theme – where are the eligible, mature single women, and more particularly men, of NSW’s far north? Good ones all taken, goes the automatic answer. Gone south to the cities to look for white collar work is another theory. Batting for the other team was another possibility put forward. After amusing ourselves with discussing the reasons why VIMPs (Very Interesting Mature People) like us were even thinking about liaisons, we turned to the MO (Meeting Others, not Multiple Occupancy) pages of some local newspapers. Our OS visitors were fascinated by some of the entries. In the males seeking females columns there were lots of very mature men, way over 50, looking for 18 year old Asian ladies. Quite a few gents advised that they had a full head of hair. One F friend, who lives in a Mediterranean country, quite liked the 21 year old fella seeking late 30s to 40s mature ladies for adult fun. ‘Maybe Francais,’ she mused. ‘Quite au fait there.’ We assured her that the toy boy syndrome was alive and well here aussi. The WLW (Wealthy Lotto Winner), ‘overweight but with a good heart’ gave us pause for thought, but alas, he wanted a HAL (Honest Asian Lady). Perhaps a dishonest one would make his heart less good. The Females wanting Males were a bit of a surprise. One 37 year old wanted an interstate truck driver. Others wanted

PCs (Prince Charmings). ‘Look for them in Males Seeking Males,’ said an F friend grimly. A self-styled elegant blonde woman wanted a handsome muscular hard worker. Lots of those up here, surfing and watching foody when they’re not concreting or plumbing. Not surprisingly, quite a lot of women wanted muscular men, and one self styled Gymea Goddess wanted the lot – caring, sincere, intelligent, tall, financially secure, for love and marriage. BOL, we said jeeringly. Best Of Luck. Many acronyms were deciphered for us at the end of the

MO pages. All those who were S/S and S/D were only social smokers and social drinkers. Well, you’d hardly advertise the fact that you were a BD (binge drinker) or a BABA (Beer And Bong Addict) would you? Many supplicants had a GSOH, (Good Sense of Humour), were F/S (Financially Secure), and DTE (Down To Earth). Most people avoided deciding on both VTPR (View To Permanent Relationship) and CRO (Casual Relationship Only). Filipinas, Indians, Germans, Italians and Greeks cared enough about their country of origin to proclaim it, and

Christians only wanted other Christians. Our research was conducted on one day only, but our OS people concluded that if they wanted to strike it lucky here in Oz while on holiday, they should compose an advertisement that would state definite requirements and guarantee quick results, or at least some interesting replies. Here it is. Wanted: Someone who is OS, OP, SLP, AWD. NOBs (or NOGs) need apply. You have a BWSCC, be FVS, and have no CDs or BB. My European female friend stated firmly that she wanted NRC, NI or, in fact, NE at all. That’s where we called a halt. People were getting excited, adding more and more requirements. So, we kept it brief and to the point. The ad may have appeared in an MO page near you. (Of course, subsequently a merry evening was spent acronyming away. Requirements became more personal as the red wine flowed and, regrettably, NFP, Not For Publication). Following is a translation of our succinct ad. Wanted: Opposite Sex (OS), Over Puberty (OP), Some Limbs Preferred (SLP), Anyone Will Do (AWD), No Old Boyfriends or Girlfriends (NOBs or NOGs) need apply. You have a Big Well Stocked Cocktail Cabinet (BWSCC), are Very Financially Secure (FVS), and have no Communicable Diseases (CDs) or Bad Breath (BB). The European friend was allowed to put her own stipulations – No Roman Catholics, No Italians, in fact No Europeans (NRC, NIC, or NE) in her own ad. We understood she had enough of them at home.

Film showing on ‘13th floor’ issues Improving The 13th floor does not exist for a reason. It might not be safe. So it is avoided, or does not exist, just in case. Things might go wrong there. It is taboo. The short film The Redemption of Joe Frame has its prerelease screening on Friday November 13 at the Byron Community and Cultural Centre. Doors will open at 7pm for a prompt 7.30 start. After the showing there is something different though. A conversation. The producers have teamed up with independent filmmakers to present a forum to discuss suicide, mental illness, genius, imagination, invasion trauma, depression, invisibility and other inter-related topics. In other words: the 13th floor. Sound necessary? ‘The night was initially only to show the finished film to those associated with its creation and their families and friends,’ say the producers. ‘But too many young people are dying, are ill or feel they have to leave town to make anything of their lives.’ Those assisting to advance the discussions are in youth services, mental health, drug and alcohol rehabilitation, natural death services, prisons and rites of passage incentives

relationships

‘So much of what we experience in our relationships with others goes unsaid, or comes out in ways that can be very damaging,’ says Gayle Russell, trainer and Gestalt psychotherapist. ‘We often struggle with indecision and a lack of clarity over what is happening with others. It may be reassuring to know that you are not alone in these experiences and things can change for the better, for your own wellbeing.’ A two-day Assertiveness and Improving Relationships course, currently being offered by Byron Community College, will give you valuable experiences and the skills to more fully express your needs. Gayle Russell is offering the course on the weekend of Saturday November 21 and Sunday 22 from 10am to 4pm in Mullumbimby. ‘Some people are at a crisis point in their life, are plagued with self-doubt or lack of direction,’ says Gayle. ‘Some have a struggle defining their personal or emotional boundaries and saying no. This course will help you see ways to step Photo from Joe Frame by Serenity de Angeles. in new directions and change what you really don’t want in and many other backgrounds, All attending will be re- your life,’ said Ms Russell. as well as those who have been quired to sign a disclaimer as Phone ACE on 6684 3374 to touched by the subject matter the event will be filmed for book, or phone Gayle on 6684 in any of many ways. public viewing. 1119 to find out more.

For example a single plastic bag can get caught up in processing machinery and shut down an entire material recovery facility; and just 5 grams of drink-ware glass or Pyrex in a recycling bin, can contaminate a tonne of otherwise recyclable bottle and jar glass because it melts at a different temperature. ‘The North East Waste Forum and Byron Shire Council encourage all residents to address climate change by recycling,’ says Ms Rudkin. ‘When we “Recycle Right�, we minimise contamination, conserve resources and reduce our environmental impact.’ Use National Recycling Week, which runs from November 9th to 15th, as an opportunity to ‘Recycle Right’ whether it’s putting the right things into your home, work and school recycling bin, donating or buying clothes and other household goods at your local charity shop, composting your food scraps and garden waste or recycling printer cartridges or mobile phones. Electronic or e-waste can now be dropped off at the Myocum tip for recycling. For more information about recycling in your area visit your local council’s website or www.recyclingnearyou.com.au . For media enquiries phone Karen Rudkin on 0401 941 330.

During National Recycling Week the North East Waste Forum and Byron Shire Council are encouraging people to ‘Recycle Right,’ to conserve resources, reduce contamination, save water and combat climate change by reducing carbon emissions. Recycling is one thing that Byron Shire residents and visitors can do to help address climate cchange. The more we recycle, the greater the environmental beneďŹ ts as we are not only minimising the output of carbon dioxide, which is a major contributor to climate c change, but we’re also conserving valuable resources and saving vast amounts of water and energy. ‘Last ďŹ nancial year more than 19,000 tonnes of household materials were recycled in the NEWF region of Byron Shire, Tweed Shire, Ballina Shire, Richmond Valley, Kyogle and Clarence Valley Council areas,’ said Education Project Coordinator with the North East Waste Forum, Karen Rudkin. ‘This saved 9,550 tonnes of CO2 being emitted to the atmosphere and is the equivalent of 2,290 cars being permanently removed from our roads. It also equals a water saving of more than 315,000 megalitres (126 Olympic sized swimming pools) and a total energy saving of Ian and Cherise Walsh purchased the Brunswick 316,500 gigajoules or the Motor Wreckers at Tyagarah early this year and equivalent annual electricity renamed it Brunswick Byron Motor Wreckers.

Aluminium can be infinitely recycled. Recycled aluminium is made into aircraft, automobiles, bicycles, boats, computers, cookware, gutters, siding, wire and cans. Try to minimize battery usage by connecting appliances to the mains power where possible. Buying rechargeable batteries is an important way to reduce battery waste. Each battery can be recharged up to 1000 times, saving you money and reducing pollution from discarded batteries. Cardboard is one of the easiest and most environmentally effective materials to recycle since the fibre in cardboard has already been processed. Therefore making cardboard products from recycled material, rather than virgin fibre, saves not only trees, but also large amounts of water (up to 99% less) and energy (up to 50% less). Manufacturing from recycled material also produces up to 90% less by-products such as chemical wastes. Plastic corks can be recycled into underground cable covers. All glass jars and glass bottles are recyclable. This includes beer, wine, soft drink and sauce bottles, as well as all colours of glass – clear, green and amber. Used lead-acid batteries are valuable for their components. Almost all scrap metal merchants will accept used lead-acid batteries for recycling. A collection service is available at most landfills, transfer stations, service stations and automotive workshops. All types of steel can be recycled, including food tins, bottle tops, paint cans, aerosols and scrap metal. Place cans in your recycling bin.

Yebekhi WdZ j^[o h[ Wbb ]h[[d J^[ [Yebekh ijeho A local manufacturer using unique technology has just received ‘carbon neutral’ accreditation for their range of house paints. ecolour is also the world’s first paint to be made from recycled ingredients and is a way for you to reduce your carbon footprint in this challenging time of climate change. They manufacture premium quality, water based paints that are available in a range of finishes and can match any colour from any colour chart. Regular paints release toxic solvents and petrochemicals into the air as they dry. These are known as Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and are proven to contribute to many health conditions including cancer, breathing difficulties, dizziness, headaches and blurred vision. With absolutely zero VOC outgassing, ecolour paints are entirely non-toxic and can be lived with immediately. The key difference of ecolour is that they turn recycled re-refined waste engine oil into water-based paint. Over 240 million litres of waste oil is burnt every year producing higher carbon emissions than any other fuel. Yet for ecolour, the oil acts as a preservative and provides durability, superior coverage and smooth application qualities to the paint. Finally, and so important when building or renovating, these paints are affordable. For example, four litres of interior low sheen or gloss tinted to your choice of colour is $64 (white base only). So there is now no need to compromise your health, your environment or your wallet. To reduce your carbon footprint and paint a brighter future call ecolour on (02) 6685 8555 or visit the showroom at 6 Grevillea St. Byron Bay.

Last week’s solution

ARIES: If you get the unsettling feeling your personal liberties are being eroded in the present global shakeups, this week has you wondering how to make a meaningful contribution without becoming a cog in the wheel of mindless progress. A big question which requires brave new answers…

CANCER: As planetary pressures bring corresponding crunches in earthly affairs, any losses on life’s swings will come good on fate’s roundabouts this week – but only if you eschew black moods. You may have to move sideways rather than forward or up, but who can do that better than you?

LIBRA: A thoughtful, therapeutic, tortoise pace is the most appropriate while Saturn evaluates how well the foundations of your life (beliefs, partnerships, career, even the literal structure of your house) support you. This week could deeply restructure your world view and everything in it.

CAPRICORN: Rules, ultimatums and expectations will dampen this week’s magic, so it’s a good idea to practise attitudinal yoga, ie. maintaining a flexible connection between diplomacy and determination, patience and pushiness by making at least one decision every day that keeps your thinking supple.

TAURUS: Uranus the Changer argues with Saturn the Solid this week about sticking with what’s familiar or risking the unknown. Uranus says live dangerously, Saturn wants to play it safe. Hasty investments aren’t in your best interests right now, new financial arrangements are. Don’t be fearful but do be careful.

LEO: Don’t get your whiskers in a twist this week if others seem evasive about their plans or feelings and you can’t pin them down to anything definite. If your flipside goes on display, certain key players in your life may not want to play at all. Grace under pressure, Majesties, remember?

SCORPIO: The powerfully persuasive planetary trinity of Mercury, Sun and Venus in Scorp makes you this week’s attraction magnet. Though some sort of we-have-to-talk scenario is necessary – have the courageous conversation to clear communication static and resolve an emotional gridlock.

AQUARIUS: Outer planets changing direction means change for everyone. When they’re in Aquarius naturally this stirs the pot and bring personal issues to the boil – the feeling that you can’t live any longer with certain situations, conditions, attitudes or beliefs. And that’s definitely a good thing…

SAGITTARIUS: Dig in and downsize or explore something completely different? Before making an impulse decision on this week’s existential dilemma and ending up with yet another lesson in the wisdom of hindsight, access that calm, thoughtful state where you make the right choices before you act.

PISCES: This week suggests laying away what’s had its day and installing new operating programs in your biocomputer. As your ruling planet moves forward in the sign of the human community and your personal future, it’s time to honor something that has finally passed from your life.

GEMINI: Polar opposite of the broad spectrum climate Geminis thrive in, this in-depth week’s necessary training for mid-November’s challenges, and requires you to explore the ocean of emotions and align your feelings and ideas in one direction. So they’re not fighting against each other in two.

In recent years, the World Junior (Under 20) Championships have seemed an anachronism with so many players, already of a world class level well before their teenage years are over, skipping the event and concentrating on adult world title events. The 2009 World Junior in Puerto Madryn, Argentina, looked to be going the same way until France decided to enter Maxime Vachier-Lagrave (below).

VIRGO: This week’s planetary dynamics are on an eliminating roll, and Virgos love a good detox. And why stop at a liver cleanse and rejuvenating juices when you could go the whole nine yards and ditch dull habits, stressful thought patterns, toxic gossip, old resentments and unhealthy attachments?

A L L YO U R C OA STA L E N T E RTA I N M E N T Hidden Hands is Jen Cloher’s second album. The dark narratives trace her journey: returning to New Zealand and assisting her father caring for her mother, diagnosed with Alzhiemers in ealry 2005. Based in New Zealand, Jen shared a little about the first track on the album, Mother’s Desk. ‘The first song I wrote for the album was Mother’s Desk, which came to me after a few weeks of sitting downstairs at her desk in the study trying to work out what to write about! I was sitting there one morning when I realised I was going to have to write about exactly where I was and what I was going through in order to break through the terrible writer’s block (fear) I was experiencing at the time.’ Dementia is an illness that touches so many. For Cloher it meant taking two years out from a successful performing career. ‘At first when the diagnosis was given it was very difficult to imagine such a capable active woman would be affected by the disease. Alzheimer’s main symptom is loss of memory and at first I could see Mum was a little confused but by the end of 2006 it was very evident that she was starting to lose her sense of self and belonging – which I guess is what our memories provide us with. I was very frightened when I returned home in 2007, when you haven’t gone through something like this before, you are facing the unknown. I enjoyed caring for Mum, we spent a lot of time just walking and having cups of tea. It reminded me to slow down and appreciate the moment,

a place where Mum could live successfully.’ It was the sense of a shared experience that kept Jen going during tough times. ‘It’s important not to feel alone when facing such a harrowing disease. I read that four million people have Alzheimers in America alone. Whenever I felt overwhelmed I would remind myself that it wasn’t just my problem.’ Grieving starts early with dementia. Those close to someone with dementia talk about watching their loved one slip away before their eyes. ‘It’s a strange slow grieving process as the person is still there but you can also see them slowly disappearing. There is a line in Watch me Disappear – ‘Mother, I watch you as you lose you/ I see your fear I feel it too/ The fear of somehow letting go/ To something greater than we know.’ Cloher used songwriting as a way of making sense of the situation during the the two years in New Zealand with her family. By the time she went into the studio she had an impressive swag of material. ‘I spent a couple of weeks in pre-production with the band. It was a very collaborative process with everyone producing really. I think we all came to an understanding of how the songs were going to sound and went ahead and played them as best we could. We recorded most of the album live.’ There is a depth in Cloher’s songwriting that is rarely seen. These aren’t

Singing about Dementia love songs about being blighted, or yearning, these are songs about deeply human experiences like finding the strength to be compassionate and finding meaning in struggle. ‘Hidden Hands is based on the late mythologist Joseph Campbell who said “Follow your bliss.

For over eight years of my 41 sun cycles on this planet I’ve flopped my tit out and popped it in the mouth of a hungry babe. I have worked out that if I give at least one litre per day, then that’s 2,920 litres of milk. Milk that I have produced. Myself. That makes me a very productive little dairy cow. If my milk was to be commercially packaged, there would be a wall of titty milk about two metres high and 10 metres long. If I was to assess

my life’s work, I’d say that milk production would have to be my finest achievement. No thesis, no compilation of great gags, no exhibition of paintings compares to this liquid contribution to the universe. With the help of a few other lactating mums we’d be able to fill a backyard swimming pool. Every year at agricultural shows all around the country, farmers celebrate the beef or milk producing prowess of their cattle. Prize chickens and doe-eyed Jerseys have their moment in the sun, so where’s mine? Why do stupid animals get all the accolades? I don’t want to be Miss Mullumbimby. I want a shot at prize milker. In theory I am also a farm animal living in captivity (albeit Dalley Street, Mullumbimby). So why don’t I get a chance to compete against other lactating women? When it comes to environmental consciousness, cows get bad press. So what better way to modernise the country town show than with

a section for lactating mums? I suggest we kick it off this year at the Mullumbimby Show. God knows some of the sisters have been lactating for decades. We could be driven to the showgrounds in large trucks and then loaded into the holding pens. Visiting the animals in their stalls was always my favourite part of the Easter Show, so how much fun would it be if you could take the kids around to pet some breastfeeding mums? Of course they don’t do much. They’d be lying in their fresh straw sleeping. The ones that were awake would be drinking tea and complaining about how tired they were. They’d be cleaned down and polished up and then on judging day we’d be paraded around the arena. Our children could lead us on a leash. Hundreds of breastfeeding mothers would await their judgement. Our milk quality would then be assessed by a panel of experts (no one over two). If I close my eyes I can feel the satin ribbon

on my naked skin. ‘Prize Milker, Mullumbimby Show 2009’. People would pay to sire me to strengthen their breeding line. I’d be rented out on weekends. I’d get my photo taken and end up as page three girl of Bulldust, a magazine that can only be described as cow porn. I could become a cash cow. For years I’ve tried to brainstorm and come up with my own get-rich-quick scheme. All the people who’ve made it say that the idea was just sitting there right in front of them. Well I have seen the light. You’ll catch me at the Byron Farmers Market next Thursday with a bunch of other milkers next to the bloke who sells fruit juice. It’s totally carbon neutral.

You will need to concentrate from the start, for it is a tricky script that does not reward the inattentive, but it finds its own logic and is unencumbered by devious plot turnings. The defining scene for me, the one that sucked me in irrevocably, came when Henry (Eric Bana) rushes on to a train and finds himself seated opposite his mother (Michelle Nolden) – it is not long before her fatal car accident, at which time Henry was a child, and in her eyes he The Time Traveler’s Wife is just another city commuter. The interplay between Bana’s Most movies are based on books (and, increasingly in the ingenuousness (one of his strong points as an actor) and action-hero genre, comics). Nolden’s softness sets the Backers need a mountain of moving before they will invest tone of the story and stirs the melancholy that inescapable in an original screenplay, especially when the publishing fate has planted in all our hearts.

wall look behind the scenes of Vogue Magazine is a dynamic and unpredictable insight into much more than a who’s who of fashion. More than a fashion parade, more than an insight into publishing, it’s a cutthroat look at the life of Vogue’s editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, whose power in the fashion world is unquestioned. Unlike cover shots that can be endlessly airbrushed into perfection, the elegant, controversial Wintour is shown through the prying lens of the camera. Intriguing, revealing and thoroughly entertaining, we are privy to a front row seat in the fashion show of the decade. The film gives us a backstage look at what

led up to the creation of Vogue’s biggest issue ever in September 2007, which sold more than 13 million copies. We meet designers, assistants, executives and models. The cover shoot in Rome with actress Sienna Miller is an eye-brow arching experience – from the initial meeting, the shoot itself and the process through which the cover is realised. It’s what is NOT said that is most interesting. If you’ve ever wondered how those glossy, photographs in which perfect bodies wearing suffocatingly tight gowns find their way into Vogue, this will give you a tantalising glimpse. ~ Lounge Cinema

all of the visual technology – if only Zemeckis weren’t in such a hurry to exploit it. You are left with virtually no time to consider the import of everything that Scrooge is experiencing and the bag of endless tricks tends to be counter-productive when the crux of the matter is arrived at. Scrooge’s journey, a profoundly emotional one that forces him to confront what an utter bastard he has been, is arrived at in a flash. So what we have is the misanthrope being scared out of his wits for an hour and a bit and then, just like that, becoming a big-hearted charmer, with no light cast on the inner man, and all of the Dickensian pathos obliterated. As for Tiny Tim, without whom there is no story, he is relegated to bit player – in fact, for a while there I wondered if he would appear at all. It’s way over the top but, despite the caveats, I’ve a hunch Dickens would have enjoyed it. ~ John Campbell

Surf Life Saving Clubs: for safety’s sake

Australian men are nearly nine times more likely to drown at the beach than women according to the just released Surf Life Saving Australia National Coastal Safety Report, and it is young men who are most at risk with those aged between 30 and 39 recording the highest number of deaths (overall, men accounted for 88% of coastal

drowning deaths in Australia). ‘Men just never seem to learn when it comes to surf safety,’ said Matt Thompson of Surf Life Saving Australia. ‘Arrogance, bravado and an inflated sense of their surf swimming ability are a lethal combination and the statistics speak for themselves. Men need to learn the limits of their ability,’ Mr

Thompson said. ‘We have a goal of reducing drowning deaths by half by 2020 which is ambitious but, we believe, achievable. Clearly, men are one of the main targets and we hope these figures will shock them into changing their behaviour at the beach. Safely negotiating rips is a major area that we hope to educate the

public in and you will see this throughout the summer.’ In the 2008/09 season, there were 23,075 rescues in total carried out, 1,322,212 preventions occurred, first aid was administered on 69,013 occasions and there were 87 resuscitations. Of those, 44% who drowned lived less than 10km from the coastline and 36% drowned less than 10km from their place of residence. Four drowning deaths were confirmed as being international tourists. There were 24 non-drowning deaths (many involving heart complications or accidents) and there were 20 reported shark related incidents of which one was fatal. This is in line with past years, however NSW accounted for 17 of these. Most importantly, there was not a single drowning death recorded of people swimming between the red and yellow flags. ‘The number of deaths that occur on our beaches is still too high, particularly among males, although we hope that this report and the campaigns we will roll out over summer

will go some way to changing attitudes of men,’ concludes Mr Thompson. With the summer season fast approaching, Surf Life Saving Australia is now actively seeking to recruit new surf lifesavers to its fold. Swim-fit Australians aged 15 and over who are interested in training for their Bronze Medallion – the qualification needed to become a surf lifesaver – are advised to contact their local surf club or visit the Surf Life Saving Australia website: www.slsa.com. au for more information. Locally, it’s been a while for Brunswick Surf Club, but once again the club has a senior surf lifesaving competition. Members of the public often see life savers out in the surf practicing rescue techniques each time that they are on patrol, however competition is a great way of pushing yourself to go as hard as you can in the surf. This could mean the difference in saving a life. The first competition was held on Sunday November 1. In the Senior mens, the flags event was hotly contested with

Grant Carey and Simon Ceglinski fighting it out the whole way, losing eventually to Stewart White who couldn’t resist beating his younger competition. Sam Dennis finished strongly in all events and this saw 1 point separating Simon, Sam and Grant in the overall point score. Senior women saw Wendy Carey and Terry Currie taking 2 wins each and Jo Hill with a 2nd in the sprints. In the Juniors Zoe Heiniger and Georgia Carey were close in all events with Zoe winning all but the flags. James Arthur, Talen Pinxteren and Nick Carey were very close in all areas, however Nick’s experience in competition proved too strong and he took first place in each event. Overall point score winner for the day were Simon Ceglinski, Nick Carey, Terry Currie and Zoe Heiniger. For information on how to become a member of the one of our local surf life saving clubs, viisit the Brunswick SLSC at: www.brunswickslsc.org or the Byron Bay webpage at: www. byronbaysurfclub.com.au.

Futsal update Byron local Futsal goal keeper Nat Caldwell recently returned from representing North Coast NSW for the under 15 boys at the Vikings National Schools Futsal Competition in Albury. The only local from the Northern Rivers team, Nat represented both the region and his school, Southern Cross Distance Education from the September 28 to October 2. The competition saw teams from across Australia competing with a strong rivalry between the country and city teams. Our Northern NSW team went head to head with Sydney City and triumphed with the final score 20-6. The team competed over four days playing a total of nine games. The country boys were selected from school teams from Port Macquarie to the Northern NSW border. Two Queensland teams entered the finals and claimed victory. The under 15s Northern NSW boys placed second against the best futsal school teams from across Australia. Nat is currently training for the futsal season and will continue to represent our region with a local team at the Vikings Country titles held in Caloundra, the Vikings Brisbane Cup and defend their title as Champions at the Vikings Pacific Titles held in 2010. Nat continues his training in Australia, Brazil and the UK .

Tom McCormack named NSW Junior SprintChamp Byron Bay dirt bike racer, Tom McCormack, wrapped up his fifth series win and second championship victory of the year at recently. The 16-year-old Yamaha rider blitzed the junior field at the final rounds of the NSW Sprint Championships held near Dungog in New South Wales. McCormack said he had especially enjoyed the event, as he was able to compete aboard the new YZ250F. ‘It was one of my first rides on the new 2010 YZ250F and the bike is awesome,’ he said. ‘The YZ250F ran great all weekend. It’s a whole new bike, it works fantastic, turns really fast and the power is amazing.’ Tom injured himself a few weeks ago and it was uncertain if he would compete in the event. ‘I didn’t get much of a chance to ride the bike before the race as I broke my collarbone two and a half weeks ago, but by the end of Sunday, I had it all sorted and had a blast on it – I can’t wait to race it again.’

McCormack was ecstatic when he got the all clear to race. ‘I went to a specialist and my doctor who both said it was fine to race, I’ve been looking after the injury and will hopefully be back to 100 percent soon.’ McCormack’s victory at the weekend was icing on the cake to the teenager’s near perfect 2009 season. In Queensland, McCormack won the Yamaha Two-Day Queensland Enduro Championship, SEQ Enduro Series, Sprint Cross-Country Series and Enduro-Cross Series, he also finished second in the nation at the Yamaha Australian Off-Road Championship. ‘This year went really well, it was a good way to end my Junior career and I’m really looking forward to next year when I’ll be a senior and riding in the Pro Class in Queensland,’ he said. ‘I’ll be the first junior in Queensland to move straight to Pro and I’m excited to work hard and do my best

to become among the best in the state and the country. My first senior race will be a pony express at Casino, New South Wales, this weekend and I can’t wait for it.’ Tom said the Dungog track had been challenging and very slippery, especially in the mornings, and the course had been demanding and hilly. ‘There was strong competition over the weekend which really pushed me and meant I had to stay on my game until the end. It was a good challenge and a great way to get used to the new bike. Tom is the current Yamaha Junior Queensland Enduro Champion, Yamaha SEQ Enduro Series winner and is ranked second in the country for Junior Off-Road racers. Tom’s ultimate goal is to make the sport he loves his profession and become the fastest in Australia. For more information about sprint racing, visit: www.motorcycling.com.au.

Morning of the Earth transformed the surf movie genre in the late 60s and early 70s as an artistic portrait of counter-culture and alternative lifestyles throughout Australia, Bali and Hawaii. The Morning of the Mo surf event relives the glory days captured by Albe Falzon in the Morning of the Earth surf movie, bringing back the Mo to surf fashion, to help change the face of men’s health within www.echo.net.au

the surf community. It’s a grass roots event with all competitors required to sport a Mo and ride a pre 1980’s stick to enter. All proceeds of the event go to Movember’s beneficiary partners. The comp is heading back to the Byron - Ballina coast on November 21 for another weekend of old school fun and games, a snag in bread and even a wave. The rules for the event are simple: If it didn’t happen in

the 60s or 70s it’s not happening now. No Mo means no ride, no legropes, no thrusters. The cost to enter the event is $50, you can grab your forms from http://au.movember.com/ events/morning-of-the-mo. You need to register for the Mo Team at : http:// au.movember.com/register/16699 and follow steps. Once registered you’ll be sent all the information you need to get donations and get growing

We have been bombarded with dire warnings of ‘one world government’ being set up at the Copenhagen climate talks, prompted by the opinion of broadcaster Alan Jones, of all people, who thinks the fact that climate sceptic Lord Monckton is a member of the British peerage is a qualification of sorts. If anyone thinks America or China – or even Australia, for that matter – is about to give away their national sovereignty at Copenhagen, then they’re kidding themselves. If it’s about the manipulation of poor countries, there’s already the World Bank and the IMF. A saner approach to Lord Monckton is at www.realclimate.org – just type the chap’s name into the site’s search engine. And if you want to do some real research instead of listening to Alan Jones and visiting conspiracy websites,
