Fast ’n’ furious at woodchop Near-fatal accident prompts calls for surf safety Victoria Cosford

The near-fatal accident of a young experienced surfer at Byron Bay’s The Pass has re-ignited the issues of safety measures and the need for regulation within the surfing industry. Ten year old Pascal Dattler, pictured below, received critical head injuries when he was hit by a learner’s stray surfboard. According to his father, Thomas Dattler, ‘The operation went really well and it looks like there’s no damage. The doctors are really amazed.’ He told The Echo that his son has been ‘surfing for five years now and he surfs at The Pass quite a lot. The same day [as the accident] he also got hit in the eye by another surfer.

There’s been a lot of close calls recently with all these people in the water. If it had been another centimetre he’d have been dead.’ Greens MP and surfer Ian Cohen has been surfing The Pass for 40 years. According to Ian, ‘surfing is like a lost frontier without regulation. Surfers can be difficult to organise but we all have a responsibility to ourselves and others in the water.’ Ian’s solution is a surfing helmet which he has been using for years. ‘When we have accidents similar to Pascal’s we are reminded of the importance of protective helmets for surfers. Statistics show that 80% of injuries in surfing are head injuries. continued on page 2

Last week’s Brunswick Heads Woodchop saw 104 axemen and women compete in over 170 heats and finals at the historic 50th anniversary of the event. Though the current men’s and women’s Champion of Champions, the husband and wife team of Jason and Karyn Wynyard, were late withdrawals from the carnival, the chop still featured a glowing list of Australian and world champions and crowds had plentyof entertainment, with the top notch athletes in the ring. Mitchell Hewitt, part of the famous Hewitt family from Queensland, made a welcome return to Bruns for the 50th. Mitchell, who has won five world titles and is the current world champion, was one of the highlights for both audience and competitors. Not sur-

prisingly, it wasn’t a walk in Banner Park for Hewitt who had plenty of stiff competition from his peers, including brother Lindsay who pipped him at the post a couple of times. The final night of the chop saw hundreds of spectators line up for a good view of the action and none were disappointed as the best of the best brought out the big guns for the Saturday night crowd. Tension mounted through several event finals, until the ring filled with axemen for the state of origin relay event. The Brunswick Heads ring crew, who are deemed one of the greatest in the country, took several minutes for their elaborate warmup before conducting the traditional pre-origin ‘it’s-not-a-Mexican-Wavebecause-that-would-be-illegal’ audience interactive event.

Once the axemen began, it was literally blow for blow in the first leg of the Dave Moss Memorial state of origin chop off, but at the end of the first standing block challenge, it was clear that Queensland were slowly pulling away. By the end of the third underhand leg, there was no chance of NSW catching up and the trophy will go north until contested again next year. The big trophy winners for the carnival were Kyran Laurie who won the men’s and Kate Christensen who won women’s Champion of Champions and the overall point score winners were, for the men, Matthew Stratton and for the women Emma Maxwell.

What’s happening on Australia Day Celebrations for the whole family will be held across the Byron Shire this Australia Day, Tuesday January 26. The day begins with the annual ‘breakfasts in the park’ at both Brunswick Heads and Byron Bay, followed by a family day at Bangalow, a celebration of the survival of Indigenous culture at Byron Bay, a fun afternoon at Suffolk Park and an Aussie tea at Ocean Shores. The Shire’s official ceremony will take place from 11.30am to 1pm at its new location at the Bangalow A&I Hall. One of the highlights of the official ceremony will be the speech of the Byron Shire’s Australia Day Ambassador for 2010, Ann Snell. Ms Snell is the founder and managing director of Sydney’s Ann Snell Gallery, which specialises in Indigenous art. She says her motivation is giving clients access to Aboriginal philosophy and culture via beautiful paintings. ‘Art is

a great vehicle for healing and learning‌ I think non Indigenous Australians have begun to realise that we’ve all missed out on so much Indigenous wisdom, and now is the time to acknowledge our heritage and embrace our future together.’ Ms Snell will also be visiting many of the other celebrations being held around the Shire. See the full program of events on Council’s website www.byron.nsw.gov.au

The Combined Service Clubs of The Brunswick Valley will hold the ‘Breakfast in the Park’ in Banner Park, Brunswick Heads. Breakfast of sausage, bacon, onion and tomato sandwiched between two pieces of bread, plus a glass of orange juice and as much tea and coffee as one can drink will be available for the low cost of $3 per person from 7.30am till 9am. There’ll be the usual live entertainment and sing-along

with Tracy Devine and Coral Grogan till 10am, making it a most enjoyable morning for the whole family. MC for the morning is Ray Linabury. Blanch’s Bus Company is providing a courtesy bus leaving the Mullumbimby Newsagents at 7.30am and returning around 10am. George Ryan will drive the bus and pick up breakfast participants along the way. Those wishing to bring their own chairs are welcome to do so. Enquiries to 6626 7000. Come and help celebrate the ongoing dynamic of Aboriginal life and culture in Byron Bay and Bunjalung Country at Apex Park, opposite the Beach Hotel. Welcome to Country will be at 11am, with music, kids activities, face painting and a free barbeque lunch. Proudly sponsored by the Arakwal people of Byron Bay, Sisters for Reconciliation (Northern Rivers), the Cavanbah Reconciliation Group and Byron Shire Council.

Near-fatal accident prompts calls for surf safety From front page

Helmets do not get in the way and are a distinct advantage with sunnies attached and a shell to protect the head.’ He believes that the surfing hire industry ‘should have comprehensive surfing information and helmets to hire with the boards’. Thomas Dattler agrees about the need for education within the surf schools and surf hire organisations. ‘If they all had information booklets as well as signs, it would make a difference. People do a surf lesson and off they go without being aware of their responsibilities.’

Rubber tips In addition to education and signage, Thomas is a firm supporter of rubber tips on the nose-guards of learners’ surfboards. He agrees that they may slightly affect performance but they are one solution. ‘Pascal and his friends have these on their boards’, he said, ‘and beginners especially should have them.’ Veteran surfer and former US champion Rusty Miller has been surfing around Byron Bay since the seventies. He told The Echo that as early as the eighties he attempted to introduce ‘softboards’ into the surfing

community – boards made out of polyethylene, the same material used in boogie boards. ‘They didn’t take off,’ he said. ‘People wanted hard surfboards. Surfing is a lot about fashion, and currently the fashion is the 6-foot Thruster.’

Dolphin Nose What is also fashionable is the pointed nose, and ever since Rusty’s involvement with the Surfrider Foundation he has been an advocate of the Dolphin Nose as an agreed standard to significantly minimise surfboard-related injuries. (A Dolphin Nose is a 75 mm circle to put on the end of the surfboard, hence a rounded as opposed to a pointed tip. It is the belief of Rusty and many others that a pointed tip does not contribute to the function of the surfboard anyway.) ‘It’s not a solution’, said Rusty, ‘but it is a contribution toward safer surfing – as is discouraging beginner surfers through education from attempting advanced levels of surfing unaccompanied.’ In fact education remains one of Rusty’s most advisable strategies. ‘All coaches to my knowledge teach beginner surfers procedures relative to personal safety. I specifically

<echowebsection=Local News>

focus on personal safety, by starting with my basic tenets such as always maintaining alertness; never not looking at the next wave coming your way; not counting on people wearing leg-ropes.’ He described the situation as ‘like traffic in the city – you have to anticipate and exercise self-defence.’ Another solution he mentioned was smoothing the edges of surfboard fins. And finally, ‘There should be better facilities on the beaches – we need more lifeguard

towers and more equipment to support safety there. And the surfing zones need to be defined as well.’ Thomas Dattler told The Echo that ‘if something can come out of this horrible accident, if we can stop this happening, it will be a good thing. It’s like a weapon, beginners with boards...’ Rusty himself admitted that ‘I’m reconsidering wearing my surf helmet!’ ■Comment, page 10, Letters,

As a general rule, we encourage people to avoid swimming for a day after rainfall at coastal beaches, and for up to three days in estuarine areas. ‘There are many things the community can do to complement the work being conducted by Council. By placing litter in the bin, composting garden waste and not using the hose as a broom, we can all help ensure pollution stays out of the stormwater and our waterways remain clean.’ Check out the results for your local swimming site at www.environment.nsw.gov.au/ beach/starratingsbyron.htm.

Byron Shire Council has announced that it will join the Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water’s (DECCW) Beachwatch Partnership Program and will be monitoring and reporting on the water quality at local swimming sites this summer. Council’s Environmental Health Officer David Bell said ten local swimming sites stretching from Suffolk Park to Ocean Shores/New Brighton will be monitored in accordance with DECCW Beachwatch protocols. ‘Council is monitoring for bacteria known as enterococci which indicate if water is polluted with stormwater or sewage and may be unsafe for swimming,’ he said. ‘The sites monitored will be The Strand, South Beach Brunswick Heads, Torakina Beach, Simpsons Creek, Belongil Beach, Tallow Beach Suffolk Park, Tallow Beach Byron Bay, Watego’s Beach, Clarkes Beach and Main Beach Byron Bay.

Jan takes on national role for VIEW Story & photo Lou Beaumont

Jan Blanch has been elected as the new National Councillor for VIEW Clubs Australia, the first National Councillor from the Byron Shire. VIEW (Voice, Interest and Education of Women) is a club for women over the age of 18 from a broad range of backgrounds. It is a valued part of The Smith Family that extends through 400 communities across Australia with over 21,000 members. Jan Blanch has been a member of VIEW for most of its history. Having lived in Balgowlah, Sydney, where the first VIEW Club was formed in 1960, she witnessed firsthand the excitement among the women of the community. ‘We were all young women who stayed home with our children. George Forbes, the then General Secretary of the Smith Family, started VIEW with a vision of bringing women out of the house and into society with more confidence. He hoped women would find their voice in politics, hence the “V� for Voice in the VIEW Club name.’ The VIEW Club was formed at a time when women were not permitted to join clubs. It was a time when women were restricted by legislation and regulation about where they could go and what they could do. Forbes realised social isolation of women exacerbated

many family issues and would be eased when women were able to meet regularly with other women. As well as being a regular meeting place for women where they can develop friendships and discover and develop talents and skills, VIEW Clubs raise more than $1 million each year to support disadvantaged children and their families through The Smith Family’s programs. Additionally VIEW members in 400 clubs across Australia together contribute over 50,000 hours in volunteer work annually. This year marks VIEW

Clubs’ 50th anniversary and sees Jan Blanch appropriately as National Councillor. Jan has been a longstanding member, the President of Sydney VIEW Club in the 1970s, the President of the Brunswick Valley VIEW Club as well as a Zone Councillor most recently. Jan has been a local in the Shire for twenty years, contributing to the Drill Hall in its early days as manager as well as acting in and directing many of the shows. She is a mother of three daughters, a grandmother to five grandchildren and a carer of homeless dogs.

She loves her work at VIEW and although at first a little apprehensive about what the job may entail, she was ‘delighted’ to be elected as National Councillor. ‘It’s a great time to be National Councillor in our 50th year. There will be celebrations at all of the clubs and of course our annual Gala in July. I hope to see a resurgence of young members joining the VIEW Clubs this year and into the future.’ To find out more about VIEW and what it does visit www.thesmithfamily.com.au and follow the links.

ing member of the Northern Rivers Writers’ Centre. She gratefully acknowledges the role played by ‘my wonderful English teacher Elizabeth Maddox, who helped me immeasurably in so many ways’. In its fifth year, the John Marsden Prize offers a total prize pool of $4,500 across four categories and the esteemed author for whom the Prize is named performs the task of judging. Australian readers will be familiar with Marsden’s gritty seven part series for young and adult readers, Tomorrow When the War Began, and his numerous standalone works of fiction and non-fiction. Here Are Your Glory Days is the title of Danny’s winning entry. ‘It’s born from the endof-year stress of finishing Year 12; about not knowing what’s going to happen and being intensely aware and intensely afraid of all the things that can go wrong: all the horror stories, as it were,’ says Danny. ‘The first part, the future’s bright, is very, very much about being trapped and broken somewhere that you don’t want to be, knowing that you could have/ should have done better, tried harder; knowing that there’s more that you could have done, but didn’t. ‘It’s a bit about the realisation of my nightmares, and, to be honest, a bit depressing. That’s one of the reasons why it simply doesn’t work without the second part, warning: will

reset at twenty-two, because it’s the antithesis of being trapped; realising that no matter where you end up, it’s possible to get out, to change and fix and reshape your life to be what you want. It’s very much about my fear of the future, but also about not wanting to wait to see what it holds.’ According to John Marsden, the work is ‘sustained from start to finish without a flat note or a false one‌ funny, funky and stylish.’

In 2010, Danny has set her heart on beginning a Bachelor of Arts, with a focus on writing or film and television studies and her long term vision is for a combined career in the publishing industry and as a writer, ‘putting out as many words as I take in’. Danny’s story is published in the December edition of Voiceworks magazine and can be read on the Express Media site at www.expressmedia.org. au.

Dead fish found in Water-Lily Park About 200 fish were found floating dead in Water-Lily Park, Ocean Shores, last week. Byron Shire Council’s executive manager of Asset Management Services Phil Holloway said from initial investigations it appears the fish have died as a result of the lake currently having a low water level and

recent hot weather. ‘The combination of these two factors has resulted in a low oxygen level in the water and as a consequence a number of fish have died,’ Mr Holloway said. He said at this stage there was no concern over algae in the water and the floating plant matter was the naturally occur-

ring red azolla fern. Monitoring of the lake’s water hens, ducks and egrets yesterday afternoon showed they were all active. Mr Holloway said further investigations would be carried out and the Fisheries Department within the Department of Primary Industries had been contacted for their advice.

Protest targets Japan consulate

15%ff

Sea Shepherd and anti whaling groups last week converged on the Japanese consulate in Brisbane, calling for an immediate end to the annual Japanese whale kill in the Antarctic. Groups including Sea Shepherd Surfers for Cetaceans, Byron Whale Action Group, Whales Alive and the Taaji Dolphin action group handed the Japanese consulate individual letters expressing their concerns and demands. Founder of Byron Whale Action Group, Dean Jefferys, said, ‘This protest is to support the Sea Shepherd’s activities opposing the whalers and to condemn Japanese whalers’ dangerous activities ramming

and sinking the Sea Shepherd boat, Ady Gil. It is also to demand Japan stop killing whales immediately in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary and to inform them of an international campaign to boycott Japanese products if Japan continues to kill whales. ‘Maybe the CEOs of the big Japanese companies will start to lobby the Japanese prime minister on our behalf when they start losing millions of dollars in sales and Japan loses millions of dollars in tax revenue. We now have a Federal Court ruling declaring Japanese whaling in Australian Antarctic waters is illegal yet the Australian government doesn’t want to

enforce the injunction. ‘Environment Minister Peter Garrett should instruct Japan not to kill whales in Australian Antarctic waters and the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary or it will carry out its promise and take Japan to the international court. While the Sea Shepherds are stopping the Japanese fleet killing whales and costing Japan its profits in the Antarctic, consumers around the world can contribute to sinking the whaling fleet economically by boycotting Japanese products and services.’ A movie of the protest can be found on YouTube by searching ‘Brisbane anti whaling demo 4 Sea Shepherd Ady Gil’.

A pleasing (given how busy Byron hospitality businesses are!) 15% still manage to recycle their organics by taking them home for composting, worm farms or chickens. Unfortunately, 32% of cafes and restaurants surveyed stated landlords and body corporates are the biggest setback for businesses wanting to improve on their recycling efforts. Tenants need to negotiate with the owners of the premises in order to change or improve on their current bin systems, however some businesses are discovering how to speed up the process. Byron Local and Soulbowl, opposite the surf club on Bay Street, are two Byron businesses passionate about providing positive choices for their clientele and being sustainable wherever possible. After months of phone calls to management seeking the installation of recycling bins, Lynne West from Byron Local explains, ‘It was a process longer than it should have been, but well worthwhile. With little support from management and armed with information that the NEWF provided, we decided to simply write them a cheque ourselves in order to have recycling bins, and from then on it was a quick process.

‘It’s such a minimal cost that allows our business to reduce our ecological footprint and provide sustainable options for our customers. Most people recycle at home but the means to do so when on holiday or out and about are limited. It was really important to us to make recycling available not only behind the counter but to our customers too. I would definitely recommend the power a small cheque can have to any businesses wanting to do something similar’. Matt Miall from Soulbowl said, ‘We’ve only been open for six weeks, and share the same management as Byron Local. When we saw that Byron Local was providing recycling, we were keen to be involved from the start. We consider it our responsibility to be sustainable wherever we can and sharing the costs with another business is attractive. I think having recycling bins available to our customers also provides a good frame of reference for people given that we’re located so close to the beach where some people are still littering.’ ‘Offering recycling for clientele is a great way to show people your commitment to the environment,’ Samala Hogg from the NEWF says. ‘An important thing to remember is the need for clear labelling of the bins. There are a range of stickers available and I’m happy to help businesses find the right system for them.’ The North East Waste Forum encourages businesses wishing to reduce their ecological footprint to check out the business waste reduction DIY toolkit at www.northeastwasteforum. org.au.

Record rainforest project completed, more help needed Australia’s largest rehabilitation project that protects endangered lowland rainforest between the Clarence and Tweed Rivers has just been successfully completed by the Big Scrub Landcare Group and 11 partner organisations. Dr Tony Parkes, President of Big Scrub Landcare, paid tribute to the differing groups and individuals who contributed so much to this important project. ‘This has been a great effort by all involved but we desperately need ongoing funding from the Australian government to continue this work, which is a priority to save the priceless

biodiversity of the rainforests in our region: there is still so much work to be done’. This one-year communityled project was funded by a

$368,000 grant from the Australian government’s Caring for our Country program. This funding was matched by contributions from the project

partners, other landholders and volunteers. Rehabilitation work was undertaken at 83 remnants of endangered lowland rainforest,

including eight nature reserves, 23 local government sites and more than 50 remnants on private land. Weeds are the major immediate threat to the survival of these priceless remnants of the magnificent lowland rainforests that once covered significant areas of our region. Professional rainforest regenerators carried out more than 1,800 days of weed control work, exceeding the project target by 31%. The project also involved a number of well-attended community education events including the Big Scrub Day, three

field days and five workshops. A key to the success of the project was the broad partnership of stakeholders from across the region that were involved. Big Scrub Landcare and EnviTE, the project manager, led the partnership. Other partners included the Department of the Environment, Climate Change and Water; Lismore, Ballina, Byron and Tweed Councils; Rous Water; the regional umbrella landcare groups – Richmond Landcare Inc, Tweed Landcare Inc and Brunswick Valley Landcare Inc, plus Tuckombil Landcare and 50 other landholders.

Lifeline course Lifeline Northern Rivers provides crisis telephone counselling to more than 600 troubled callers each month. The continuation of this service is utterly dependent on the commitment and dedication of the skilled telephone counselling volunteers who graduate from Lifeline Northern Rivers’ twiceyearly training courses. To maintain its volunteer numbers, and ensure that our callers receive the help and support that they need, Lifeline Northern Rivers is now seeking applications for its first 2010 training course. This is the first time that Lifeline Northern Rivers’ trainers will be delivering Lifeline’s new national training program which is even more closely aligned to Lifeline’s crisis counselling practice model.

E-training The 2010 training program also includes a newly developed e-training component that will allow for more flexible learning and allow the classroom sessions to focus more intently on the development of the trainee’s counselling micro-skills. Over the next few months more than 1,000 people nationally will be beginning a Lifeline telephone counselling training course and taking the opportunity to equip themselves to make a crucial contribution to their community. The course will run from February 25 to April 22 with a three week Easter holiday break. Most of the sessions will be held on Tuesday and Thursday evenings between 6pm and 9pm. The course also includes a two day Applied Suicide Skills Intervention Training course and a one day Domestic Violence and Child Protection course. There is a reduced course fee of $400 for people who commit to going on to be Lifeline Telephone Counsellors for a minimum period of 12 months.

Tony punches smart in green corner ony Abbott’s planned private members bill to override Queensland’s Volume 24 #32 January 19, 2010 Wild Rivers legislation may be, as his opponents claim, a political stunt. But they can hardly deny that it’s a bloody good one.

However, while creativity for its own sake can be an exhilarating experience, the notion that, say, photography or sculpture – or writing – possess an exalted and protected status above, say, plumbing or building is a nonsense.

mentor John Howard, and that Abbott is now proposing to effectively reinstate it. But unlike Howard, Abbott has credibility on indigenous issues. Indeed it could be argued that no politician in the current federal parliament is better qualified to argue the Aboriginal case for Cape York. Not only is Abbott a personal friend of the Pearsons, but he is a regular visitor to the penin-

At the time, of course, Abbott and

His private member’s bill may have a tinge of political opportunism about it, but at least he knows what he is talking about. Furthermore, although such a bill would almost certainly trigger a constitutional challenge, it is one the Commonwealth would probably win. The Opposition’s legal affairs spokesman, the lawyer George Brandis, made a convincing case for it last week. He notes the similarities to the 1983 case involving Tasmania’s Franklin River Dam, which the Commonwealth won, and suggests that much the same arguments would apply, but in the Queensland case they would be even more clear cut. The Commonwealth could invoke not only its constitutional power to make laws for people of the Aboriginal race,

Brandis vigorously opposed the government’s move. Now it looks rather handy. Abbott’s bill will, of course, not be passed; Kevin Rudd is not about to overrule the embattled Labor premier of his home state, especially if it involves setting what could be a far-reaching and potentially embarrassing precedent. But opposing the bill will bring its own problems. One of Rudd’s first commitments as Prime Minister was to ‘close the gap’ between indigenous and non-indigenous Australians. By refusing Abbott’s challenge to do something concrete and practical which has the support of some of Australia’s most active and respected Aboriginal leaders he risks being seen as putting political considerations ahead of good policy, and worse, of joining Bligh in sacrificing legitimate Aboriginal interests for more electorally valuable Green support. Not that Rudd owes the

Greens anything after their contemptuous dismissal of his Emissions Trading Scheme, but their preferences could be useful at this year’s election, and in any case he will almost certainly have to deal with them after it. Very much a Catch 22, made worse by the fact that the issue will also divide two groups which both traditionally support Labor. A cunning stunt indeed. In keeping with his carefully cultivated image as Action Man, Abbott has also thrown himself vigorously, if somewhat confusingly, into the whaling controversy; last week he seemed to be suggesting sending a gun boat (or at least the hapless Oceanic Viking) back to the Antarctic to interpose its body between the forces of Japan and Sea Shepherd. And he wants to set up some kind of workforce to look after the environment in general. He is, as promised, going in with all guns blazing. But hang on a moment: just what are they blazing at? Surely Abbott was elected leader as a sop to concerns that the party under Turnbull was moving too far to the left, getting too close to Labor. Abbott was to take them back to their conservative grass roots. But last week all he seemed to worry about were Aborigines and whales, the darlings of the elitist bleeding-heart chardonnay-sipping lovey-doveys. Come on man, get back to basics. Smash the unions! Tax cuts for the rich! What do we want? More profit! When do we want it? All the time! That’s the trouble with political stunts. No matter how clever they are, in the end they’re just distractions. Good fun, sure, but not like the real thing.

Not making a point at The Pass Yet another terrible surfing accident out at The Pass. What can we do, if anything, about it? I have now heard lots of ideas about legislating, educating, segregating and pontificating. All well meaning and valid ideas. But the sad reality is The Pass is intensely crowded even without backpackers, grommets or kooks. We may not be able to prevent accidents but we can try to protect our skulls. I have been wearing my Gath helmet for 20 years, ever since we lived in Margaret River. Gath helmets were invented in Margaret River and it was the norm to wear them over there. They afforded some protection from the heavy reef breaks. Having surfed here for the last 15 years, I have always

Fabulous fireworks Congratulations to the committee and all the hardworking organisers of the 50th anniversary of the Fish ’n’ Chip Festival fireworks display. It was absolutely sensational. From my view at the north wall I felt as if I was in the middle of them and they were coming right at me. They went for such a long time, full of beautiful colours soaring high in the sky and going off with a big bang, they rivalled Sydney’s fireworks and they were in little old Brunswick Heads. How proud the committee must have felt when the crowd (which was huge) went wild at the end, clapping and cheering. I know I was feeling very proud to be a member of this incredible community, knowing that those fireworks were

Byron Bay ■If you look at the basic design of the pointed nose surfboard, the pointed nose really is a fashion statement. Also, it can be used as an offensive weapon to intimidate other surfers. It doesn’t make the board surf any better, in fact it adds extra length, increases swing weight and wind resistance. Injuries caused by pointed noses can be very dangerous. You have the mass of the surfboard focused into one tiny

area. The end of the nose is reinforced by a wooden stringer as well as fibreglass. Being hit by one of these boards can result in a deep penetrating type of injury, loss of an eye and even skull penetrations. How many parents with small kids buy their kids this style of board, looking at fashion, not thinking about safety issues? How easy is it for some kid to fall off the back of the board shooting their pointed nose into their brother’s or sister’s eye. There is an easy fix to this problem. Find a jar lid or tin about 75mm in diameter. Place it on the nose of the surfboard, on the deck. Draw a line around the front and cut off what sticks out the front. Round it off and put a

layer of fibreglass over it. In collisions this will dissipate the energy of the impact over a much larger area, greatly reducing the chance of severe or critical injury. The board will surf better because you have reduced the swing weight and wind resistance. It is shorter, turns quicker, and pulls off moves you couldn’t do before. It gives you more confidence to go for new moves because it is safer and less likely to cause injuries to you and other people. Stand-up paddle boards are a new hazard in the surf. They are a large difficult to control craft, they fall into the same group of vessels as surf skis and kayaks and they should keep clear of other surfers and swimmers.

website: ‘Ultralights must comply with the flight conditions specified in the relevant CAO (95.10, 95.32 or 95.55). For example section 5 of both CAO 95.10 and CAO 95.55 forbids flight below 500 feet agl and flight over cities and towns at a height from which it cannot glide clear of all dwellings, buildings and persons within the built-up area.’ At 6pm last Saturday (09/01), two ultralights flew at the edge of Tallow Beach, above swimmers, at an altitude of 60 feet at the most (less than 20 metres). Considering the rules mentioned above I would think that no flying machines should be allowed over Suffolk Park or any other densely populated area.

C U R TA I N S & B L I N D S

I have been amazed over the last few years to see how deeply ingrained our acceptance of repeated erosion of human rights is embedded in our psyche no matter which State one hails from. In Melbourne last year, I was there at a conference when the adolescent youth was shot several times by Victorian police and killed in a skatepark in Northcote. A national outcry? No. In NSW an Aboriginal man dehydrates in the back of a police van and dies. A national outcry? No. An eleven year old boy in handcuffs all day in Tamworth courthouse. A cause for comment under the United Nations ‘Rights of the child’? No. NSW having the highest rates of youth arrest and incarceration – regularly raised at magistrate meetings as a national shame. A cause for concern in this State? No. The Northern Territory’s ‘three strikes and you are out’

policy, no matter how bad an individual’s circumstances are. A policy worth national scrutiny? No. I read the newspaper article by David Leser and was glad this issue of child arrest and overreaction by police was raised. But I am astounded that others still believe the police can abuse power and ‘feel sorry for them’ and that one should, when it comes to the police, ‘just shut up and do what one’s told’ . Well, thank God I didn’t. Of course I don’t believe the illegal arrest of a 15 year old compares to any of the gross abuses of human rights that occur daily but the acceptance of the erosion at this small level gives way to bigger, far more important erosions. My faith in challenging authorities for basic human rights for all demographics is renewed. I can only assume that ac-

cepting clearly illegal activity on the part of the police is a throwback to a convict heritage whereby as a nation we remain unchallenging of clear abuses of power and do not see fit to protest against all too regular Aboriginal deaths in custody, annual shootings by police of mentally disturbed individuals and frequent contraventions of the Child Protection Act and Young Offenders Act – just ask local youth how they are treated and speak to local youth workers and don’t forget the many children psychologically scarred in detention centres which we accepted as an OK policy for other people’s children! Perhaps a Bill of Rights will only be seen as essential in this country when freedom and fairness is expected for all and from all. Including the police.

Misguided Dogs

me, planting a tree where you know in time it’s going to die, or failing to relocate flora that is in the way of construction, shows little regard for nature and the green values this Shire is supposed to sport. It is some comfort to know that a number of parties have taken cuttings of the grape vine, so that it may live to fruit another day.

My wife and I have supported the Blind Society and the Guide Dogs for over 30 years. We agreed to help out once again by telephone before Christmas. When our donation was not received within a certain timeframe we were sent a letter of demand from Dunn and Bradstreet collection merchants who added a threat of reporting our bad debt which they said ‘may affect future requests for finance’. So we forwarded our donation via Bpay on December 14. Yesterday we received another letter of demand from Dunn and Bradstreet which stated that in spite of previous demands, we had not sent our donation (again with the added threat of reporting our bad debt to a Credit Reporting Agency). I telephoned the Guide Dogs at Chatswood this morning and was quickly transferred to their telemarketing agency. The young lady there was apologetic but the stench of telemarketing and aggressive collection merchant forms of donation soliciting and collection is still in the air. They’ve lost us forever.

The two of us I seek to clear up a little confusion which has arisen in recent months (Letters January 5, January 12). There are, in fact, two Michael Malloys living in Byron Shire. I have lived here since 1985 and after a lengthy stint in Byron Bay now reside happily in Bangalow. Michael Malloy No. 2 moved to the area about 6-7(?) years ago and we met not long after that. I used to write a few letters to the local papers but have long given up, only occasionally coming out of retirement as I did last year to expose some blatant hypocrisy and selfinterest re traffic planning in Bangalow. But Michael Malloy number 2 writes quite a few letters and while I don’t always agree with his stance, I find his letters generally entertaining and to the point. Sometimes people compliment me on letters written by Michael Malloy number 2 and I have to give them a tedious explanation of why he is not me and why I am not him. Lately he has taken to signing his letters ‘Mick Malloy, Suffolk Park’. I do not answer to ‘Mick’ and always sign my letters ‘Michael Malloy, Bangalow’. Hope that this is all as clear as mud and Happy 2010 to all (especially Mick Malloy).

Further warming/cooling thoughts The IPCC estimates that Australia’s share of greenhouse gases is 1.5%. Now the percentage of all the CO2 in the atmosphere is roughly 0.038%. Out of this 0.038% let us generously assume that 5% of that is caused by humans, which is 0.0019%. So if the numbers are right, Australia’s share comes to the almost microscopic figure of 0.0000285%. So how is reducing that by 5%-25 % actually going to control the world’s temperatures? Do we need another tax on top of building permit tax, cigarette tax, corporate income tax, dog licence tax, income tax, fishing licence tax, fuel tax, liquor tax, property tax, service charge tax, road usage tax, workers’ compensation tax, vehicle licence registration tax etc, etc? On top of GST, which is a steady 10% and mainly goes to the states, we will be paying a (useless) CPRS tax and we have no guarantee that it will not fluctuate at the government’s whim. ■

■ I started writing a longwind-

ed response to Matthew Lam-

bourne (Letters, January 12) but then deleted it. This discussion has, for me, run its course when I spend hours clarifying what I did and didn’t say in past letters. Basically: 1. Matthew, I agree with you about the relative lack of sea level rise. Geez, man, it was Prof Noerdlinger who estimated 4cms, not me. 2. You completely misquoted my original letter and its intent. Not good. Read it again and understand, if you truly have a copy. 3. You admitted not reading or hearing all of the ABC interview, so why comment on it? 4. Fabricating evidence to support prejudice? Pfft. Read above for self-examination. At least Matthew was thinking and had followed previous discussion (albeit incorrectly) before commenting. Dailan Pugh – that letter was just embarrassing. You went at my letter ‘bull at a gate’ and showed you clearly have not followed this discussion. Due to your laziness, you do not deserve a response, so will not get one. There was more than a whiff of Don Quixote in that pile.

■ Waiting for technology to fix climate change is akin to hoping for perpetual energy, or, that violence will ever overcome violence. It is attempting to pull oneself up by the bootstraps. Technology dependence is the cause of environmental degradation and climate change, so technologising our way out of it is not the solution. Embodied energy – the cost of making, transporting and disposing of a product – is the elephant in the room that few wish to notice. The environmental cost of a product necessarily includes the cost of displacing earth-harmonious peoples particularly in mining or forestry operations. Their knowledge of sustainability given our predicament is now invaluable. How can any technological product be seen as

The scorpion promptly bit the frog. ‘Why did you do it? Now we will both die!’ ‘This is the Middle East,’ replied the scorpion. Mr Gareth Smith must have been surprised at the Egyptian government preventing the demonstrator groups from crossing into Gaza. There were immediate cries of USA/Israeli pressures. In fact the secular

Musharraff government is fighting a life and death battle against the extremely religious parties trying to overthrow it. Nor does it want Hamas to become stronger and stronger via continuing underground supplies of arms and rockets to Gaza. Under such circumstances what on the surface may seem enemies become friends. I had suggested to Mr Smith to have a look at the other side of the border. He might have been very surprised at what is happening on the fast developing West Bank. Should he be interested to

sustainable, if part of its cost involves the removal and plight of the people of sustainability? When there are no standby lights and there is Extended Consumer Responsibility in Australia, when school children in their Environmental Science class have no shoes on, when people go to bed and get up with the light, and when people are legally able to shop naked in Woolworths, then we will know procrastination about climate change has begun to end. We all know in our hearts that the solutions to environmental degradation and climate change are radical. Before people suggest I am wishing to return to the caves, the inexorable path we now follow leads to the collapse of ‘civilisation’. After that, there is the cave. At any rate, if one day, through a winding-back of materialism one wakes up naked in a cave, there is every possibility that one will be happier than what one is now. Part of that happiness may be the existence in oneself of the revolutionary idea, alien to a technocratic people, that nature is perfect. Geoff Dawe

Failing holidaymakers

I see that the Byron Shire Council is again failing to cater for tourists, holidaymakers and locals specifically in relation to the hundreds of people who have boats, canoes, sail boats etc. The road into the Brunswick Heads Boat ramp is a disgrace with huge potholes. The ramp itself had not been cleaned for weeks and is extremely dangerous. There have already been several bad accidents occuring due to its slippery surface including a car and trailer slipping into the river (an expenMichael Malloy sive insurance claim). Both the poor road condiBangalow

Emma Maxwell, champion with a saw Stroy & photo Eve Jeffery

For Emma Maxwell spending a few hours a day in the wood heap is rewarding and fun. Emma, like a surprising number of other women athletes, is a competitive sawyer and she loves it. ‘I first became interested in woodchop events when I met my husband Shayne,’ says Emma. ‘It was his hobby and sport. That was over 20 years ago. I have been a sawyer myself for 19 years and in the last three, much more seriously focused on competing.’ Shayne Maxwell is the chief handicapper as well as being a competitor at the Bruns event and woodchopping is a huge part of the Maxwell’s life, with children Chloe aged 12 and Jacob 10 getting involved. ‘They are a bit young for the sport, but they show an interest. They have a go at sawing and chopping. Jacob has his own axe, but their attitude is more leisurely. At home when we train, they join in.’ Emma is actually quite petite in the world of women competitors but she attributes her success to her fitness and strength and while she says she can swing an axe, it is not something she competes in. The strength needed to get through a block of wood at

speed is something that only a minority of women can achieve successfully, though there are many who do and they are admired within the circle. Emma is the Queensland Jill sawyer of the year and with Shayne, they have been the Queensland Jack and Jill (mixed double-handed saw) sawing champions for three years in row. She has numerous championship titles in Queensland and two wins in the Australian team.

16 January 19, 2010 The Byron Shire Echo

In what one would imagine is a blokey environment, Emma says that woodchopping men are very helpful and encouraging. ‘People within the sport are very supportive of each other. The men are always very helpful. The men, the women, the families – everyone is always looking out for each other. It is actually people outside of the sport who can’t seem to understand why I do it, but once you get a chance to tell then about it,

they get more interested – some of my friends even come along to the events to cheer me on.’ Emma competed in over 30 events at this year’s chop and she has been a member of the Queensland state team for five years and the Australian team for three. ‘Out of work hours, woodchopping is pretty much our whole life. I am a sawyer for the state and national teams, so that means travelling around Australia to compete and constant training.’

<echowebsection=Articles>

Being Jill to Shayne’s Jack has been part of the glue that has held the couple together. Emma says they make a great team together in and out of the ring. Having such a great sport that they can enjoy together has gone a long way to creating harmony for the pair, who don’t always see mistakes made in the fast-paced Jack and Jill saw races the same way. ‘It’s not that we argue,’ she laughs. ‘It’s more that we accuse each other of the error.’ Last week at the Brunswick Woodchop, Emma walked away with a string of wins including first place in the Jill and Jill championship with her partner who is a real Jill: Jill Stratton. She and Shayne came second in the Jack and Jill championship and she placed second in the single Jill event. Overall, Emma was name the Most Successful Handicapped Jill. Emma and her family look forward to the Bruns event each year. ‘The Bruns chop has a lot of events for the women which is great. There is a great atmosphere and it’s very family orientated. It’s a holiday and I get to enjoy my sport too.’ The question begs to be asked: who supplies the fireplace in the Maxwell house? ‘Oh, Shayne chops the firewood – that’s his job.’

Biddulph talks at Mur’bah Following on from child psychologist Steve Biddulph’s visit to Mullumbimby last November, local parents are organising a film of a similar talk entitled The Secret of Happy Children to be screened at Murwillumbah’s Regent Cinema on Thursday January 21at 7.30pm. The Mullimbimby talk was given to a capacity audience in the town hall which underlined not only the need for parent education but local parents’ receptivity. According to organisers of the Murwillumbah event, Biddulph, who generously waived his usual fees, ended the talk to roaring applause and heartfelt appreciation. The November discussion mainly centred around raising boys, however the Murwillumbah screening will be more of a general talk on practical parenting. Biddulph was voted Australian Father of the Year in 2000 for his role in encouraging the role of dads. In an attempt to make this a special night out for parents, children and babies cannot be admitted to the screening. Entry is by donation – a suggested but flexible amount is $7.50.

Two BBIFF films to focus on Mexico The Byron Bay International Film Festival has announced the first details of two films to be screened at their upcoming festival. Both films focus on Mexico, a country that knows all about poverty with almost half of their one hundred and five million people living below the poverty line. The minimum wage in Mexico is 46 pesos a day. That’s $3.90 Australian. It comes as no surprise that families living in total poverty are compelled to send their children to work on the streets in an effort to supplement the family income. These are the ‘lucky children’ because they at least have a family. ‘While these circumstances do not conjure up happy pictures, if we scratch beneath the surface of these images, we find a world full of hope, promise and even joy,’ say the festival organisers. The Byron Bay International Film Festival (BBFF) will open windows into this world when its screens the films The Tijuana Project and Somewhere Near Tapachula. Focusing on just six of the numerous children of Tijuana whose neighbourhood is the city rubbish tip with its mountainous piles of waste, BBFF’s 2007 Best Documentary winner John Sheedy provides us with an unusual perspective into this grim scenario.

One of the rubbish tip neighbourhood children depicted in The Tijuana Project.

school has been established in the neighbourhood, offering a platform for the children to voice their own attitudes to the many problems, and potential solutions, associated with waste. In Somewhere Near Tapachula, homeless children who are utterly without hope experience a major life change when an Australian husband and wife set up a children’s refuge, Mission Mexico, which provides far more than just ‘shelter’. Starting with seven children, the numbers have now swelled to 54 living at the refuge. The 22-year-old director Stefan Hunt says, ‘We are so excited to share the amazing

and inspirational story of Pam and Alan Skuse, who gave up their lives in Australia to become parents to 54 children in need.’ Adds producer Jonno Durrant, ‘The joy and hope these kids have found in surfing and the love of their new “parents” is captivating. We are really excited to be attending the prestigious Bryon Bay International Film Festival, and especially to be bringing Moacir Zeledon, one of the stars of Somewhere Near Tapachula, who is at Southern Cross University on the Gold Coast through the assistance of a Norm Innes Scholarship.’ BBFF’s festival director

J’aimee Skippon-Volke says, ‘Stefan will be in the running for our Best Young Australian Filmmaker Award. It’s great to see young Australians creating such powerful films that are capable of truly touching our hearts. Our hope in screening these films is to inform and inspire our audience to appreciate the difference that they themselves are capable of making.’ The films will screen together on Tuesday March 9 at the festival, which runs from March 5 to 13 at the Byron Bay Community Centre. The full program and tickets will be available in early February. For more information visit www. bbff.com.au.

$CEM VQ UEJQQN KP C UJQV With students preparing to return to playgrounds and classrooms across the country, Australia’s Chief Medical Officer, Professor Jim Bishop, is urging parents to protect their children against a resurgence of the pandemic (H1N1) 2009 influenza, or swine flu. ‘Parents need to get themselves and their children vaccinated against the pandemic strain before the start of school,’ Professor Bishop said. ‘Medical evidence shows us that schools are a significant factor in the spread of the virus. Once influenza is in the school environment it can spread quickly, affecting families and the local community.’ Of the more than 37,000 confirmed cases of pandemic influenza in Australia last year, about 15,400 were children and young people up to 17 years of age. Children had the highest rate of hospitalisations. Around 7,700 children under 10 years of age were confirmed cases. More than 1,000 of these children needed hospitalisation – 85 so serious that they had to be cared for in Intensive Care Units (ICUs). Most of these children had no previous underlying illness or conditions and 16 children under 10 years died. Professor Bishop said Australia’s free pandemic influenza vaccine, which has been extensively tested in international and Australian trials and has proved to be both safe and effective in combating swine flu, would ensure Australia doesn’t see the same impact on children as has happened overseas recently. ‘Vaccination is safe, effective and free, and once you are vaccinated you are protected

against pandemic H1N1 for at least a year. ‘We can’t be sure what will happen with this flu over coming months but we can ensure our children have the best possible protection against this virus,’ Professor Bishop said.

PROTECT YOURSELF AND YOUR FAMILY NOW WITH THE FREE SWINE FLU VACCINE.

BACK TO SCHOOL The pandemic H1N1 influenza (Swine Flu) vaccine is now registered as safe and effective for children from 6 months of age. You can protect your children and yourself by getting this free* vaccine. Almost 75% of all children aged 9 or under who have been hospitalised with pandemic influenza had no underlying illnesses or conditions that made them more vulnerable to this virus. Swine Flu is still a major threat to Australia and continues to spread around the world. So the best way to ensure you and your family are protected is to get vaccinated now.

In its 11th year, Byron Shire’s longest running film festival, Flickerfest, will screen a selection of multi-award winning International Shorts this weekend. The festival will also incorporate screenings of the Best of Australian Shorts and the Byron All Shorts (BAS) Short Film Comp. This year Flickerfest received 1600 entries, of which 97 were selected for the final competition from all around the world. Last week, we had a little preview in The Echo office and were immensly entertained by this year’s offerings. International highlights inculde an Australian entry, The Cat Piano – an extraordinary animation which has already won the Best Short Animation – Sydney Film Festival 2009; Best Animation Short – Melbourne Film Festival 2009 and the AFI AWARD for Best Short Animation 2009. Another notable from Australia on the world stage is Seth Larney’s The Clearing – a tale a bit twisty for those who like a puzzle. For the polyglotically challenged, there is a selection of subtitled entries, the Spanish Miente (She Lies) tells the story of a girl who wants to give a birthday present to her young sister, but she has to risk her own life in the process and from Iceland, The Nail – a quirky tale of power and paint. Screening on Sunday night is the Best Of Australian Shorts program which has been especially curated for the Flickerfest National Tour. The films are a selection from five Australian Competition programs at this year’s Flickerfest 2010 in Bondi. The Echo was fortunate to have a sneak peek at some

The Clearing Flickerfest Bangalow A+I of those entires as well; Deborah Mailman’s Ralph is as exceptional as Luke Doolan’s Miracle Fish.

The screening will be held

at the Bangalow A&I Hall in conjunction with the Flickerfest screenings. The BAS received nearly 60 films, with filmmakers having just over four weeks opportunity to enter. There are some great entries competing for nearly $5,000 in prizes including the Directors Award selected by industry professionals – Flickerfest

festival director Bronwyn Kidd, Screenworks GM Jill Moonie and others industry representatives and an Audience Award voted by those in attendance. All sessions are held at the Bangalow A&I Hall.

Fricking stupid mango tree. It’s like living in Beirut. I’ve been through two bottles of rescue remedy since the season began. The house begins its metallic concerto as flesh hit tin. Bang, thwomp, crash. The Mandy Nolan baby startled and then started to cry. I used to love mangoes. Now I hate the sight of them. The smell makes me nauseous. Mangoes are evil. Fruit fascists turning my ambience to compost. Mangoes no longer herald the beginning of summer, these juicy mascots HOW DO YOU MAKE A of the warmer season are MANGO A mango woke the baby. After harbingers of insomnia. About an hour of jiggling and rocking, 40 years ago some fricking singing and feeding I had man- moron decided that it would aged to lull my pink sweetmeat be a good idea to plant a mango tree next to my house. into slumber.

Thank christ. dropping fruit, the screech of Then it fell. On the tin roof. hungry bats and the stench

of rotting fruit outside my bedroom window. In the four years I have lived in this particular house the tree has never fruited. But weather conditions aligned with such perfection that the whole of Mullumbimby is awash with mangoes. The entire town has that sickly sweet smell of mangoes on the turn. Either that or someone’s on a deodorant strike. (Wouldn’t be the first time). Hundreds of small putrifiying orange carcasses litter the streets. Roadside signs declaring ‘Mangoes $20 a box’ make me laugh. Man, l’d pay $20 a box for you to take them away. What do you do with that much surplus fruit in a suburban garden? There’s only so many pickles a girl can cook up and those who know me well would attest that I am not a conserve-ative girl. I’ve tried composting them, but the bin is full. I’ve tried pegging them at hippies. I’ve set up a mango lassi stall. I’ve developed a new range of mango full-body fruit peels.

Doesn’t only take off dead skin, actually takes off new skin! After playing in the tree my son’s back looked like Groucho Marx’s ashtray – large cigar burns all over his flawless skin. The sap had eaten through and left blisters, which have now healed to large white scars, a physical testimony to the Summer of 2009.

Having attained an ARIA Award loss for Top 40 hit, Broken Leg, the band have big plans for 2010.

At least that’s what I told the DOCS investigator. I can no longer park the car in my driveway as the mangoes have eaten through the duco on the bonnet. When I arrive home late at night I am greeted by the squelch of mango juice between my toes. Yesterday the rats arrived. They gather to eat the rotting fruit which I’ve piled under the tree. You don’t have to be David Attenborough to know what comes next. Snakes. It makes me think that the tree of knowledge, the tree that became the fastrack out of paradise everlasting, wasn’t bearing apples at all. It was a fricking mango tree.

Hopeful aspirants from every corner of the continent start scanning their lives for material, hoping that their short time on the planet can filter into a killer five minute routine. To date there are over 20 entrants in the Byron Bay heat of RAW comedy prompting national organisors to schedule a second heat to take in all the talent. Byron Bay is one of the more regional areas but is a strong contender when it comes to RAW, with more entrants than some of the states! Byron entrants have a history of doing well with Ellen Briggs of Mullumbimby making it to the national final just four years ago. Ellen credits this with kick starting her comedy career and giving her the confidence boost she needed to make that dramatic sidestep from tuck shop mum to standup comedian. Ellen is now very much in demand in comedy rooms all around the country. Hannah Gadsby won RAW and found herself coming second at Edinburgh’s ‘So You think You’re Funny’. Hannah has been touted as one of the most promising up and coming comics in the country. Adam Hills directed and mentored her for her solo show at the Melbourne Comedy Festival last year and Hannah is now spied on the

telly on a manner of programs with a few ABC hosting jobs coming to fruition this year. Hannah did her first spot after a Byron Shire ACE comedy course and still uses a lot of the jokes she used for her very first performance.

But then there’s the dead snake used to replace a fan belt, and the footy players on the deck of a truck doing traditional dance to the accompaniment of a Greek bouzouki, and Mauboy, supported by a gnarly band, slaying Stand By Your Man ‌ Owing to its unfashionable positivity and a refreshing disinclination to dwell on victimhood (was 1990, when the stage show premiered in Perth, a more optimistic time?) Perkins’s film might not win her many prizes, but it’s bound to appeal to an indigenous audience. Deadly. ~ John Campbell

on life to rekindle his fading career? Does gormless Tracy, Derek’s fairy minder, finally win his wings? The theme of striving to fulfil dreams, even if it means lassoing the moon, is a chestnut, but the veteran writing team of Lowel Ganz and Babaloo Mandel will not count this among their most inspired efforts. Apart from the cruisy skating, it creates no lasting impression (I’d virtually forgotten all about it by the time I got home), but, as the school hols grind on, it’s an unobjectionable pacifier for parents run ragged by their little treasures. ~ John Campbell

Tooth Fairy Drinks, popcorn and choccoated ice creams – the sounds of contented grazing lasted well into the second half of this not entirely hopeless kids’ flick. Dwayne Johnson has sensibly dropped ‘the Rock’ as a moniker (something The Edge might also consider doing before he checks into the old folks’ home), but his niche as the black man-mountain who is a teddy bear with youngsters remains entrenched. Here he is Derek, an ice-hockey pro who has established star billing in the minor leagues after a shoulder injury curtailed his career at the highest level. He’s dating Carly (Ashley Judd), a frumpy white single-mother of two – the relationship doesn’t stand up to rigorous scrutiny, but an Afro-American Carly would have murdered the box office. It’s not every day that Hollywood allows for the guy to be better looking than the gal (Hugh Grant and Sarah Jessica Parker in ‘Have You Heard About The Morgans?’ springs to mind), but decking him out in wings and a baby blue elf’s outfit doesn’t do the big fella any favours. That’s his fate after he pooh-poohs the concept of the tooth fairy to Carly’s little girl, Tess. The indiscretion results in him being abducted to the fairies’ fantasyland where he is admonished by its Queen – she made her entrance on a cloud. ‘Gawd, it’s Ita Buttrose!’ I thought, not recognizing the equally well preserved Julie Andrews – and assigned the task of collecting teeth and leaving money for gummy children while they sleep. Meanwhile, Carly’s teenage son, Randy, fancies himself as a guitar hero and, to give him his dues, he does impress with a raunchy take on Cream’s Sunshine Of Your Love. Randy wants desperately to perform at a school concert, but Derek’s credo of ‘lower your expectations, that way you won’t be disappointed’ is not what he needs to hear. Does Randy get to the gig and blow everyone away? Does Derek find a new lease

Paranormal Activity This is a genuinely chilling horror movie experience that should be seen at the cinema, but for the full effect don’t ask your friends what’s coming. The film is well-paced

and believable. Paranormal Activity is the taut tale of Micah (Micah Sloat) and Katie (Katie Featherston), a nice, young couple who are experiencing strange phenomena. Another nice feature of the story’s setup is that this paranormal activity isn’t viewed by the couple in the same fashion. For Katie, it’s troubling and reminds her of darker moments from her childhood. For Micah, it’s an adventure. The movie effectively stokes up that sense of ‘the other’: the idea that there are forces in this world that we can never hope to understand, and that to toy with them can have grave consequences. Going into this film without forewarning will almost guarantee a genuinely chilling horror movie experience. Don’t ask your mates, just see this one – you won’t be sorry. ~ Lounge Cinema

First up, we should dispense with the qualifiers of ‘Australian’ and ‘aboriginal’ – this is outstanding and does not need special consideration. It’s 1965 and Willie (Rocky McKenzie) wants to enter the church when he grows up, but after being ill-treated at school by the German priest (Geoffrey Rush), whose mission is to hammer Christianity into the coloured boys, he runs away. Lonely and lost, he pines for Rosie (Jessica Mauboy), the girl he fell for back in Broome. After meeting Uncle Tadpole (Ernie Dingo), also from Broome, the pair set out together on a road trip home. Musicals had their heyday half a century ago with the likes of South Pacific and Oklahoma and in 2010 it is a rare thing to be entirely convinced by one – I mean really, people bursting into song for no reason? At least a few good tunes come in handy (Chicago had not one), so it benefits director Rachel Perkins enormously that the play she has adapted is loaded with them. Wisely, she does not attempt to disguise the unnaturalness of the genre, instead accentuating it with a vibrant, richly contrasting palette, the overall effect being a bit like Tim Burton meets Tracy Moffatt. The story leans towards the whacky, but in its telling there is humour, pathos, unselfconscious social comment and – such joy. McKenzie initially seems too tall for the part, gawky even, but I was entirely won over by him, especially when the movie kicks into gear with the appearance of Dingo. All shine, but Ernie steals the show with his measured blackfella shtick, while Deborah Mailman pushes the un-PC envelope even further with her depiction of Roxanne, a lascivious Kimberley woman who is keen on the grog. For all its fun and games, however, and just when you least expect it, Perkins hits you with a scene in a lockup that is profoundly sad and soulful – it’s an expression of over two hundred years of hurt.

Last week’s solution

Mungo’s Crossword first published in The Week.

ARIES: A bossy, dominant approach is likely to make this week’s people resistant, especially during late week Aries moon; relaxed, understanding consideration will get you much more cooperation and support. Impossible for an Aries? Not if you put your mind to it.

CANCER: Jupiter’s move to Pisces kicks off a career boost which will steadily manifest during the coming year. Friends or enemies from long ago and far away could be on your mind, even show up. How do they connect to your current situation – or don’t they?

LIBRA: You’ve got nothing to lose and everything to gain this week by experimenting, being adventurous and opening your mind to wider perspectives. Don’t dismiss strange inspirations that come your way and if unexpected guests turn up with unusual suggestions, why not?

TAURUS: Aquarian Venus shines brightly in company, is less understanding up close and personally. So stick to what this week offers: the social sphere with interesting new people to meet and greet. Someone’s likely to surprise you by totally overturning the opinion you had of them.

LEO: Retrograde Saturn’s highlighting financial waste, carelessness and extravagance – should you be interested? See what your accountant thinks. Of course this week’s about you, but others with vastly different opinions will think it’s about them – paramount cheek, but just one of this week’s trials, majesties.

SCORPIO: Mars doesn’t move forward in your success zone till the end of February but this still looks like a more than a half way decent week, Scorps: sassy, adventurous and pleasure plentiful, though not without some heavily ruffled feathers and vivid differences of opinion.

GEMINI: Mercury heading forward again in the sign of goals and ambitions has you smart as a whip and wickedly witty. People are listening, and with Jupiter moving into your sector of success this could translate into interesting new job prospects or professional offers.

VIRGO: Jupiter moving into your house of partnerships for the next twelve months stimulates the Virgo urge to serve. That’s not a bad thing, but remember the trick to doing a Mother Teresa (Virgo of course), is finding the line between giving, and giving with expectations of a result.

Zhao Zong Yuan has captured his first Australian Championship title after a stunning performance at Norths Club in Sydney this week. A decade ago Zhao had stunned onlookers by finishing second in the biennial national championship at the age of 13. Within a year Zhao was an International Master and by 2007 had become a Grandmaster, Australian Open Champion and Australian number one. Still the most prestigious Australian Championship title eluded him, but in Sydney the

PISCES: With the planetary influx into the sign of the future, if you’re serious about making your dreams a reality, now is definitely the time to start. Especially with big daddy Jupiter in your sign for the next twelve months detonating a major boost of optimism and confidence. Sydney AUS Championship 2010 White: S Solomon Black: G Jones Opening: Sicilian Defence 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 g6 6.Be3 a6 The Dragadorf variation, recently popularised by Magnus Carlsen. 7.f3 Nbd7 8.Qd2 Bg7 9.g4!? b5 10.g5 Nh5 11.a4!? Extraordinarily ambitious. Normally this move would be played on move 9 and White would concentrate only on the queenside. 11…bxa4 12.Rxa4 Bb7 13.Kf2 0-0 14.Be2 Nc5 15.Ra3 Qc8?! Heading into the valley of death 15… f5! would have put White’s manoeuvres to the test. 16.Nd5 Qh3 17.b4! Ne6 18.Nf5!! gxf5 19.Nxe7+ Kh8 20.Nxf5 Suddenly the threat of 21.Bf1, trapping the queen, forces Black to return a piece. 20…Nf6! 21.gxf6 Bxf6 22.Bf1 Qh5 23.Nxd6?! 23.Rd3 was much safer. 23… Rad8 24.Rd3 Bh4+ 25.Ke2 Rxd6?! An imaginative rook sacrifice, but it is refuted by an even better one. After 25…f5!!, intending to meet 26.Nxb7 with 26…fxe4!, Black would be right back in the game. 26.Rxd6 Bxe4! 27.Qc3+! f6 28.Kd2 Bxf3 29.Rg1 Bg5 30.Rxe6 30.Kc1 was simpler, but Solomon has another sacrifice in mind. 30…Qxh2+ 31.Rg2!! Bxg2 32.Bxg5! Bxf1+ 33.Kc1 Kg8 34.Bxf6 a5 The only hope for Black is to expose White’s king, but Solomon is ruthless. 35.Kb2! Qf4 36.bxa5 h5 37.Be5 Qg4 38.Re7 Rf7 39.Qb3 Bc4 40.Qb8+ Rf8 41.Qb7 Bf7 42.a6 Qa4 43.Qg2+ Qg4 44.Qxg4+ hxg4 45.a7 g3 Now Jones hopes for 46.Bxg3 Bd5 when Black can hang on. However… 46.Rxf7!! Kxf7 47.Bxg3 Ra8 48.Bb8 The rook is trapped, the rest is technique. 48…Ke6 49.Kc3 Kd5 50.Kb4 Kc6 51.Kc4 Kb6 52.Kd5 Kb5 53.c4+ Kb6 54.Kd6 Kb7 55.c5 Kc8 56.Kc6 1-0

SAGITTARIUS: Archers are rovers, but everyone needs to belong somewhere: to a tribe, a like-minded community. Call home, or your homies this week, however far flung. Techno skills less than excellent? Then upgrade them so you can let your fingers do the travelling and expand your sense of family.

CAPRICORN: Some plans may have to take a back seat to economic realities this week while a heavy Saturn/Pluto square works itself out. But it will pass, so stay calm. Investigate. Ask questions. Above all be flexible and prepared to extend beyond your personal comfort zone.

BYRON BAY

These long sun-drenched days will continue for a while, as will visitors from other parts of the country. January is a hard month for settling back into the common grind as the party mood prevails. And while the word Entertaining continues to be relatively benign, it is useful to have up your sleeve some simple solutions to it. One of my favourites is the Pasta Platter. Apart from coeliacs, there are very few people averse to the notion of eating pasta – done properly, of course, with a good sauce neither too scant nor too smothering. Pasta Platters can mostly be prepared well in advance of the descending hordes; they look splendid; they may cater for both vegetarians and carnivores. And the only accompaniments required are the simplest green salad and some respectable bread (which it is increasingly possible to find up here: I am currently loving much of what Jordans produce). The key is organisation. All you need are three types of pasta to go with three types of sauces. Contrast and colour are critical to the success of your platter – and so the three types of pasta could include one short dried one such as penne, one long one like spaghetti and one fresh one such as ravioli or fettuccine. Fresh pasta has the benefit of being very forgiving and quite difficult to overcook – its actual cooking time is also minimal. Dried pastas are trickier – and soggy, overcooked pasta is to be avoided at all costs – but you can do what many restaurants do and precook it, removing it from the water while still quite firm, spreading it out to cool as quickly as possible with a lubrication of olive oil tossed through to keep it moist. Back to that later. For the sauces, consider the drama of your table presentation. You could go for the colours of the Italian flag and have a green, a white and a red sauce. So, for example, spaghettini al pesto, fresh tortellini with a creamy cheesey ham sauce, fusilli with a chillispiked tomato sauce. Fresh pastas are particularly suited to cream-based sauces. Beetroot makes a visually stunning sauce – just simmer small cooked chunks of beetroot in buttery onions, add white wine then whizz in a blender before finishing with a little lemon juice, cream

and grated parmesan. Fresh basil works well at the last minute. Do a tomato-based prawn dish alongside a spinach and ricotta one alongside a pumpkin, goats cheese and black olive type. There are so many hundreds of glorious pasta sauces, but do be mindful of flavour clashes: it’s really quite easy to imagine what will go with what when the three types are all on the same individual plate. Apart from all’espresso sauces like sage and burnt butter (heavenly with fresh ravioli and it all happens in the last five minutes before serving), your sauces can be made days ahead then refrigerated. Then, half an hour before you plan to serve, while someone else is setting the table, you need to ensure your biggest pot is 2/3 full of salted simmering water. On three other hotplates prepare pots (I personally prefer low wide frypans) of your three sauces and bring them to simmering point. Keep some water handy to top them up if they are reducing too much. Increase the heat in your big pot to a boil and drop in the fresh pasta: as soon as it floats to the surface fish it out in a heat-proof strainer and toss it, shaking off most of its cooking water, into its matching sauce. Keep the heat low after stirring everything together. Lower the big pot back to a simmer and in the same strainer lower one lot of par-boiled pasta. Count to ten then hurl that into its appropriate sauce, keeping the heat low. Repeat with the next lot of par-boiled pasta. Now, working quickly, it’s just a matter of raising the heat and tossing pastas through sauces until well-coated. Topple briskly out on to the awaiting platter in three neat colour-contrasting thirds and wipe the platter clean with a tea towel. Rush it to the table where a chunk of real Italian parmesan sits on a plate with its tiny grater. Three sets of tongs, last-minutedressed salad leaves, chopping board with loaf of bread. A flask of chianti if you can find one – or a jug of wine and thou. Everyone just hops in helping themselves, shared-food concept invented centuries before the term became a trend, and your apron can come off.

SURFING Byron Bay Boardriders Thanks to our team members that made the trip to Duranbah for the Jim Beam Surf Tag. The team was Danny Wills, Jarrad Sullivan, Luke Archibald, Torren Martin and Beau Walker. Everyone dug deep on the day with

great performances from Jarrad Sullivan and Danny Wills. Unfortunately due to some strong heats from Snapper, Noosa and Kirra we didn’t progress through our heat. The Kirra Teams event is on from the 5th to the 7th with 6 opens and 2 juniors needed, would be great to see everyone up there to support the team.

We have named this beautiful girl “Hope”, but we really don’t know who she is because she was bought in from the pound. She is de-sexed, grey and white in colour and somewhere between 3 to 5 years old; she was found wearing a yellow collar with a bell. She is a very loveable girl who deserves to be in her home - if you recognise her please contact Lesa for the above. It is breeding season, and undesexed cats, driven by uncontrollable hormones, are out roaming. If you have lost your cat, please phone the Byron Shire Rangers Office 6626 7000.

You may be interested to know that the family of Georgia Enter, who was arrested for calling a police officer ‘dude’, fought the law and won. The police backed down, withdrew all charges and erased Georgia’s name from their computer. The family had the offer of a barrister from Sydney to defend Georgia for free, so incensed was he at the actions of the police. See Jane Enter’s letter on human rights on page 12. ■ ■ ■ ■

MobileMuster, a free mobile phone recycling service offered through its outlets. Australia Post spokesperson Ruth Snelleman says there are about 16 million old mobile phones sitting in people’s cupboards and drawers. Old batteries can be recycled to make new batteries, circuit boards include small amounts of gold and silver that can be used to make jewellery, and handset casings include plastics that can be used to make fence posts. ‘The gold recovered from 16 million mobile phones could be used to create nearly 24,000 wedding bands,’ says Ruth.

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.
