Henkel honoured at filmfest NSW Minister for the Arts Virginia Judge last week announced filmmaker Cathy Henkel was the recipient of the inaugural Honorary Award at the Byron Bay International Film Festival. Ms Judge said the award marks a centenary of film at the Byron Bay Community Centre and honours a significant filmmaker of the Northern Rivers region. ‘Cathy has shown outstanding achievement as a writer, director and producer of documentary films,’ she said. ‘She is a leader of the creative industries in the Northern Rivers and an inspiration to young emerging filmmakers. ‘A filmmaker since 1988, she has made films that tell stories about the environment, deeply personal stories and even a film about a famous comic actor [Spike Milligan]. ‘One of her most successful projects was The Man Who Stole My Mother’s Face, a powerful story about Cathy’s search for justice for her mother who was brutally raped in South Africa.’

The film received critical acclaim, winning Best Documentary at the Australian IF Awards and at New York’s Film Festival in 2004. ‘It is great to see Byron Bay supporting filmmakers like Cathy who are helping to put NSW on the world stage,’ Ms Judge said. ‘I congratulate Cathy on her achievements and wish her the best of luck with her future endeavours.’ Ms Henkel has established her own company, Virgo Productions, which produces fiction and non-fiction feature films across multiple platforms including cinema, DVD, television and online. The Festival continues this week. Among the offerings is Sea of Darkness, an award-winning documentary about a group of surfers who take on drug smuggling gigs to bankroll their surfing addiction. Time: 1970s. Place: the Indonesian coast. For a small group of thrill-seekers, surfing was an addiction, an attitude, and way of life – one that sometimes was seen

through the lens of psychedelics. In Sea of Darkness, a group of ragtag surfers coast from high tide to high risk, as they balance their thirst for the perfect pipeline with the dangerous risk/reward of smuggling illegal drugs and other illicit items across the South Pacific. It follows the life-changing decisions made by early Indo surfers Mike Boyum, Jeff Chitty and Peter McCabe, who turn to drug-smuggling to fuel their passion for surfing – and those made by Martin Daly, Bruce Raymond and Dave Barnett, who funnel their wave addiction toward more legal pastimes that gain them fame, fortune and a lifetime of perfect waves. ‘It recaptures how passion gave way to persecution and how romance was ultimately defeated by reality,’ say publicists. ‘It also makes us reflect upon how much people will truly risk to hang on to what they love.’ The film screens Thursday at 7.30pm.

Federal Minister for the Arts Virginia Judge was in Byron Bay recently to present Byron Shire Council with a $200,000 cheque for the new Byron Bay library. The NSW government Library Development Grant is part of a $25.5 million commitment in 2009/10 to support and develop public libraries across the state. The new library, to be built on the corner of Lawson and Middleton Streets, will be over five times the size of the current facility and will offer a range of services to its 19,000 members, including study areas, local history features, spaces for group interaction and instruction, travelling exhibitions, multicultural support, children’s activities and book readings. An Arakwal room will be featured in the complex with opportunities for Aboriginal archival and research material to be made available. Friends of the Library, the director of Richmond-Tweed Regional Library Martin Field, council staff and Mayor Jan Barham assembled at the site of the new library where the cheque was formally handed over. ‘I know it was a long process of negotiation,’ said the Minister, ‘and I admire that... As we know, libraries enlarge the

collective wisdom and enrich the spirit...’ She alluded to the library in Thebes, Ancient Greece, over whose door was the inscription ‘Libraries: the medicine chest of the soul’. In accepting the cheque, Cr Barham said that ‘it wouldn’t have been possible without the hard-working lobbying of the Friends of the Library.’ She told The Echo that building will start before the end of the financial year. ‘We’re final-

ising all the paperwork to go out to tender now and by the end of June they should be commencing construction. ‘We’ve applied for incorporating aboriginal art in the design of the building, as part of the architecture. It’’s such an important site for the town. A library is the most important building and place for a community – it’s education and fun, no longer just books. This has been a long-term project, and it’s lovely that we’ve got

confirmation of the money!’ Richmond-Tweed Regional Library serves four local government councils in the Northern Rivers region: Ballina Shire Council, Byron Shire Council, Lismore City Council and Tweed Shire Council. It is the second busiest library service in the state. Byron Shire has been planning for a new library in Byron Bay for over ten years, to meet the high demand from both local residents and visitors.

to the support of refugees that they may have the opportunity to live in a fulfilled manner, respectful of their dignity and aspirations. Sanctuary Northern Rivers is a part of a loose collective of similar groups in rural and urban Australia. Since 2003, they have endeavoured to support refugees who seek assistance. The mainstay of that support has been to provide sponsorship to refugees who seek refuge in Australia through an ‘off-shore’ humanitarian visa – for which Sanctuary advocates on their behalf. Sadly, for sheer weight of numbers, most applications are unsuccessful. For those who succeed,

Jail sentence for Milli’s death Last week in Lismore court Magistrate James Black sentenced 19-year-old Mina Nashed to three years in jail with a non-parole period of two years for the death last year of local identity Milli O’Nair, 41. While driving a light truck, Nashed knocked Ms O’Nair from her bicycle and off a bridge on the Pacific Highway at Tyagarah last May. He admitted having micro sleeps leading up to the accident.

Sanctuary supports their settlement and integration into the local community which has immeasurable benefits for all concerned. In an attempt to keep a support network in place, Sanctuary will try to relocate groups who have a common tie and in a few weeks the Mullumbimby community will become the home for three Congolese sisters and their families. The group is a collective of six adults, including two doctors and a lawyer, a handful of teenagers who will enrol at Mullum high, a couple of primary aged children and a preschooler. As yet there are no confirmed homes for the group and Sanctuary is asking what they know is the generous Mullumbimby community to lend a hand. These residents require at least two, preferably three rentals and will need the stuff of life: washing machines, fridges and couches and the small daily bits and pieces that we all have wallowing around in our household cupboards and drawers. They don’t come empty handed – they have a certain amount of support, including the interest free loan for their airfare, supplied by Sanctuary Northern Rivers. What they need more than

5km of cycle/walk ways launched Story & photo Eve Jeffery

Riding a green bicycle and sporting a regulation helmet, Mayor Jan Barham met with member for Richmond, Justine Elliot and the Byron Shire Bike Committee last Thursday to launch five shared cycle and pedestrian paths within the shire. At a cost of $609,000 the shared cycleways and footpaths are located in Shara Boulevarde and Kallaroo Circuit, Ocean Shores, Left Bank Road, Mullumbimby, Ewingsdale Road, Byron Bay and a shared footbridge bridge over Saltwater Creek behind the swimming pool in Mullumbimby. The cycleways added an additional five kilometres to the existing cycleway network in the Shire, which runs over 62 kilometres. ‘Through the forward thinking of the Bike Committee, many potential cycleways have been identified throughout the Shire,’ said Ms Barham at the launch. ‘Council is grateful for the federal funding support in assisting with the implementation of the plan.’ Council was also recently successful in being awarded a further $168,500 through the federal government’s $40m Na-

Mayor Barham encouraged the community to take full advantage of the cycleways and in particular looked forward to seeing the cycleways well used on School 2 School Day on March 17. ‘The cycleways provide a vital form of safe transport for our youth in a

Justine Elliot said that she was delighted to see the paths completed so quickly. ‘These new paths will be of great benefit to the local community, providing, cyclists, walkers and local families in the Byron Shire with an additional five kilometres of shared paths.’ Mrs Elliot also took the opportunity at the launch to announce the provision by the Rudd government of

Accord claims success for Nightrider program Victoria Cosford

Since the introduction of the Byron Bay Nightrider, there has been a dramatic drop in the drink-driving statistics in Byron Bay. An initiative of the Byron Bay Liquor Accord, the service consists of a shuttle bus operating on Friday and Saturday nights for customers of licensed venues between Sunrise, Baywood Chase, Suffolk Park and town. Figures for January 2010 were down over 40% on the same period in 2009 while figures for February were down by almost 70% on the same period last year. January figures were the lowest ever recorded over any month in the last three years

and February figures were even lower again, almost 50% lower than the lowest figure ever recorded, for any month, in the last three years. These results are impressive, especially given the service was introduced less than three months ago. They clearly demonstrate both the need in the local community for a low-cost alternative late night transport system and for the service to be ongoing. There has been a solid base of customers using the service each week, many of them on a regular basis. According to Liquor Accord member Luke Thomas of La La Land, ‘These results were beyond all our expectations. Obviously we hope these fig-

ures remain low and that the service keeps going, although to ensure its ongoing operation we need to secure additional funding and/or sponsorship.’ Numerous people and organisations, especially the RTA, have already provided support. Drink-driving has been the worst long-term alcohol-related crime issue in Byron Bay, with the highest rate in NSW for the past seven years.

Mr Thomas told The Echo the results ‘clearly show a need for a low-cost alternative transport system – a lot of people cannot afford taxis.’ He stressed the fact that the service operated both into and out of town, pointing out that there was still some confusion in this regard. Tickets for $3 each way are available from licensed premises and for pick-ups customers should ring 0419 848 875 from 7pm to 4am.

Be aware of baby turtles hatching Following a successful season of sea turtle nesting on the North Coast, the first crop of hatchlings is making its way from the nest this week. Australian Seabird Rescue (ASR) volunteers, in conjunction with National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) rangers, have been monitoring a total of nine nests between Cabarita and South Ballina beaches that are all are due to hatch during March and April. ASR’s Make Turtles Count project coordinator, Jann Gilbert, said it was important that people in beach areas were aware of the imminent hatchings in order to give the hatchlings the best possible chance of making it to the ocean. ‘If people are aware of how their behaviour may affect turtle nests and hatchlings they are more likely to modify it,’ Ms Gilbert said. Of primary importance is minimising artificial light near beaches, and keeping 4WD vehicles and beach walkers well away from the dune line or known nest sites. When hatchlings erupt from the nest for their life-and-death dash to the ocean they scramble towards the brightest horizon, which, ideally, should be the ocean. ‘Artificial light can disorient nesting sea turtles and hatch-

National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) Ranger, Lori Cameron, said that the clean-up was a joint operation between staff from National Parks, Marine Parks, NSW Fisheries and local volunteer Craig Davidson. ‘Marshalls Creek is part of Cape Byron Marine Park and adjoins Brunswick Heads and Marshalls Creek Nature Reserves,’ Ms Cameron said. ‘The clean-up was the initiative of Craig Davidson of the New Brighton Progress Association. We were happy to support

whether your lighting is disturbing nesting or hatching sea turtles is to walk to the adjacent beach at night and look for light several hundred metres in either direction. Any light you can see is likely to adversely affect sea turtles,’ she said. However, there are some simple ways to minimise the effect of lighting next to nesting beaches by simply lowering, shielding, recessing, redirecting or switching off artificial light sources in outdoor areas, and closing curtains or lowering blinds at night. ‘4WD vehicles and beach walkers should also keep well away from the dune line to avoid trampling nests, and we’d like to remind dog walkers that it’s an important time to keep their dogs under control on the beach,’ said Ms Gilbert. If you do happen to see hatchlings emerging from a nest, please advise ASR on 0428 862 852 or NPWS rangers immediately. Do not use light or interfere with the hatchlings progress; they must be able to make their own way to the sea. For anyone wanting to get involved with turtle rescues and conservation ASR is running training workshops at its rescue centre in Ballina on Saturday March 13 and Sunday 14. For enquiries and bookings, please call 6686 2852.

Students learn about rainforest Story & photo Victoria Cosford

Upper intermediate-level students at the Byron Bay English Language School were treated recently to an educational visit by Rainforest Rescue. Krista Bernard, assistant to the organisation’s CEO, spoke to a classful of students from about 11 countries in a bid to raise awareness of environmental issues, particularly in relation to our rainforests. She told The Echo that ‘we spoke about ideas as to how people can help the environment. ‘We talked about it generally at first then we talked about the projects we are involved in, also about protecting rainforests in Australia and Indonesia, Sri Lanka and Ecuador. ‘The destruction of the habitat was also discussed – the plight of endangered species like the orangutan and the cassowary.’ A short film on the unique ecosystem of the Daintree was also screened, showing ‘how

special it is and how it has been threatened by development’. Funds were then pooled by the students, with nearly $100 raised toward work done in protecting rainforests, and at the end of the session a certificate of appreciation on be-

half of Rainforest Rescue was awarded to the school. Spanish student Montse Aumatell said, ‘It was all really interesting. I was in Costa Rica in 2007 where there are also lots of rainforests and I knew there was a global problem. It’s

a pity that it’s a few people for such a big problem.’ Rainforest Rescue is always appreciative of donations. Their website is www.rainforestrescue.org.au and they can be contacted on 6684 6737.

FootPrints for Peace to walk through the Shire The international women’s peace walk is coming through the north coast – on March 22 to Brunswick Heads, 23 to Byron Bay, and 24 to Lennox Heads. A group of women is walking from Brisbane to Canberra to raise awareness about alternative energy, expose the dangers of the nuclear industry and the ongoing continuous proliferation of nuclear weapons and war. This march is one of four ‘FootPrints for Peace’ walks happening this year and it will run simultaneously with one started in the USA on February 11. In the USA peace activists are walking hard after finding out that President Obama has promised $18.5 billion in already-approved nuclear loan guarantees and possibly requests to triple this program in the 2011 budget from $18.5 billion for new reactors to $54.5 billion. Along with this there is already the $2 bil-

lion in already-approved loan guarantees for new uranium enrichment facilities. The Nuclear Energy Institute, which is chaired by one of Obama’s big supporters, Exelon Nuclear CEO John Rowe, has described the taxpayer loans as the main frame of its ‘Permanent Financing Platform for new reactors in the United States.’ ‘It is easy to see that the US

government is not committed to nuclear disarmament, and while it is talking up sanctions on North Korea, Iran and others, it is quietly increasing its funding to the nuclear weapons and nuclear power establishments,’ say march supporters. ‘Here in Australia, where there are extensive uranium mining expansions, the continuing sale of this mineral and the cur-

Internships for local producers Member for Richmond Justine Elliot recently launched the Screenworks Producer Attachment Program. The internships will create employment and professional development opportunities in film, television and multi platform production in the Northern Rivers region. Four local production companies working on major productions will each take on an emerging producer over a six week period and train them in the skills of producing. The production companies include Every Cloud Productions with Fiona Eagger www.echo.net.au

and Deb Cox who recently produced East of Everything; BlueSeas Films with Robert Raymond and Leah Wright, about to launch a feature documentary called Going Vertical; and mememe productions with Cate McQuillen, who has just completed the exuberant dirtgirlworld which is currently on ABC TV, CBeebies in the UK and CBC in Canada. Screenworks is still exploring a range of possibilities for the fourth production. The emerging producers will also have the opportunity to present their own production idea to the senior producer

who can offer guidance and advice on the direction of the emerging producers project. Screenworks is calling for expressions of interest from emerging producers who are at a point to take advantage of this opportunity. Formal applications for this program are available on the Screenworks website www. screenworks.com.au. For more details on selection criteria visit the Screenworks website or call 6687 1599. This internship project was made possible by the Australian government’s Regional Arts Fund.

T2E protest Protest against the approved T2E interchange within ten metres of the Clover Hill subdivision began at Bangalow’s Saturday Farmers Market when market-goers provided over 220 petition signatures. Since March 8 the petition to the NSW government has been available in the Bangalow Post Office for signature, together with a flyer describing the expected impact on Bangalow of the planned intersection. The basis of the petition is that the interchange will mix local and through traffic on the T2E highway between Ross Lane and Ewingsdale, encourage heavy vehicles from Lismore and Byron Bay to travel through Bangalow to access the upgraded highway, and increase air and noise pollution because of increased traffic movements near Clover Hill entering and exiting the upgraded highway.

John ‘Jack’ Garda, also known to many in the community as Keshava, who went missing on February 8, was a popular and loved member of the Byron Shire community. John was born in Krakow, Poland, to Irene and Michael Garda, who survived the Holocaust. The family moved to Australia when he was three years old. He grew up in Sydney and moved to the Byron Shire in 1992. Having lived in the Byron Bay area for nearly 20 years, Jack touched the hearts of many people over the years. Jack owned and operated the Middle Eastern restaurant Katoush and more recently the Newsroom at Sunrise Beach and the 24/7 Convenience Store on Jonson Street in Byron Bay. The tragic circumstances of his death have distressed many people in his circles of friends from all walks of life. An actor, a poet, a sensitive human be-

ing, he is remembered by his friends as a big-hearted man who shone his light and always had the patience and time for anyone who crossed his path. A website has been created in Keshava’s honour where friends and family can share stories, memories, thoughts and photos: http://onelove2us. wordpress.com/ He is survived by his beloved mother, Irene Garda of Sydney; sister Eugenia Garda Langley of Sydney; and nephew, niece-

in-law and grandnephew Michael, Holly and William Conrad Langley of Papakura New Zealand. A memorial service for Jack/ Keshava will be held on Thursday March 11 at Mullumbimby Civic Hall beginning at 12 noon with Jewish prayers. All who knew and loved him are welcome to attend. Please listen to Bay FM and check the website link above for confirmation or any change of details.

One flew over the cuckoo-shrike’s nest Myocum wildlife carer Caroline Sutherland knows the strong bond that can form between humans and animals. Caroline joined Northern Rivers Wildlife Carers seven years ago after mourning the loss of several pets to old age. ‘I couldn’t face such grief again so I decided the rehabilitation of native wildlife was a more worthwhile thing to do. Also I knew I would only have them for a short time so I wouldn’t get too attached,’ laughs Caroline, who knows better now. Even Caroline’s husband Ken, who she describes as ‘not an animal person’ was won over by two Black-faced Cuckoo-shrikes that came into care as fluffy nestlings.

Corrections on coastal reporting

Broken Head Quarry Earthworks

A lot of the media reporting about Council’s action against a Belongil landowner has been of poor quality and characterised by a failure to check facts. As a consequence, ratepayers have been left with impressions about the case and the landowner’s subsequent case against Council that have understandably generated many concerns about the conduct of the cases and its implications. In the brief space available here I can not possibly address all the inaccurate statements presented by a range of media organisations so will concentrate on the issues discussed in last week’s Echo editorial ‘A costly coastline’. In doing so I will refer to the source documents such as Council’s Development Control Plan, Part J (DCP), which sets out the basic provisions of ‘planned retreat’, as well as Court documents. Let’s start with some basic facts. Council began action to prevent the unapproved dumping of rocks on Council controlled land. Council’s DCP (Development Control Plan) states that ‘Any work carried out by individual property owners to protect land from erosion will require the consent of Council’ and that ‘rock, concrete and like hard materi-

als must not be used for the construction of beach protection works’. It also states that ‘Council will consider consent for such works only where such works will have no adverse effect on any adjoining properties or on any coastal processes’. The Court granted an injunction ordering that the dumping of rocks cease. In essence then the injunction was sought by Council to ensure compliance with its policies. All very well for The Echo to ‘wonder at the quality of initial attempts at the beachfront to resolve the issues before it came to court action’, but perhaps an examination of the evidence before the court would have been helpful. These issues are canvassed in paragraphs five and six of Her Honour’s judgement and include ‘unengineered dumped rocks is unsafe, that such rocks are at heightened risk of displacement under wave attack, and that any rocks displaced under wave attack have the potential to create additional erosion’. The evidence also referred to ‘significant environmental impacts, degradation of beach amenity and loss of public access to the beach’, and that the proposed works would ‘exacerbate the existing... ero-

sion impact into unprotected properties’. Interestingly, Justice Pain noted in her findings that the ‘potentially adverse impacts elsewhere’ were ‘supported’ by the evidence of the landowner’s expert witness, Dr Goodwin. In addition to the cost implications of allowing a landowner to undertake development without consent, the potential legal costs of claims made by anyone injured by displaced rocks or other property owners suffering increased erosion due to Council’s failure to take action to prevent the dumping of rocks would make the amount spent on obtaining the injunction look like peanuts. Fair enough for The Echo to raise the issue of legal costs, but let’s give the ratepayer a chance to assess the bigger picture. The assertions by The Echo that the granting of the injunction did not support Council’s policy of planned retreat and that Justice Pain ‘made no mention of planned retreat’ are grossly incorrect. In reviewing the evidence at paragraph four, Her Honour made specific reference to the policy and its application including reference to the DCP. Her Honour noted that ‘this evidence is relevant to where the balance of con-

venience in granting any injunction lies in this case’. In her findings at paragraph 17, Justice Pain stated ‘I agree with the Council in relation to the balance of convenience’. It has not been an easy decision to write this letter as when I have commented publicly on these issues in the past, I have been sent letters from the landowner’s solicitors regarding my comments. As a Councillor, I have to consider carefully the potential costs to ratepayers and myself resulting from legal action due to comments I make. However, my belief that the ratepayers have a right to balanced reporting on these issues has overridden any lingering concerns in this regard. My suggestion to ratepayers who want to be better informed on these important issues is to seek out the source documents referred to in this letter.

The use of herbicides by Council on the roadside verges within Byron Shire has been on the visible increase over the last few years. Can I encourage all residents to sign up with Council’s Chemical sensitive and Organic Growers register (Ms Karen Mackay on 6685 9319 or register via the form on Council’s website) if they are concerned about the spraying of herbicides around and near their homes. Council has advised residents that if they maintain their road frontage this will alleviate the need for spraying. Increasingly, studies from around the world are showing glyphosate (RoundUp) is not as benign or safe as its makers would have us believe. It appears to be in increasing use throughout the Shire and it is time for herbicide users to start considering what long term damage they could be contributing with regard to our waterways and our fragile soils. Any ground cover is better than nothing until canopy is restored. Whatever happened to manual removal of misplaced plants or trees? I urge people to lobby the agencies handing out grants for landcare to the effect that herbicides are not acceptable and to instead encourage more manual workers to get really involved with the environment.

Camphor Expo? Is there sufficient interest in Byron Shire and beyond from the creative arts/woodworking sector to showcase the creative use of Camphor Laurel in an expo/competition that could have cash prizes and acquisition potential attached? There’s a compelling need now for sculptors, wood turners, furniture makers, oil distillers and artists to come out of the woodwork, so to speak, and demonstrate how this part of the Mt Warning Caldera can be an international centre of excellence for all things related to Camphor Laurel. The alternatives include allowing those that only view Camphor Laurel as a weed (Far North Coast Weeds), a pseudo forest or part of the future ecology of the bioregion to dominate public debate and public policy.

Mysterious inconsistencies in Council’s legal dealings Why do we always seem to elect fools or knaves? More mysteriously still, why do I persist in the face of overwhelming evidence that nothing can ever change? Okay, here we go again. Every three months or so the Council’s legal services section presents the elected councillors with a spreadsheet of Council’s court cases, a summary of where each case is at. I stumbled across one of these in November, not having seen one since 1999 when I left Council. It made interesting reading. For

example, in one case a landowner lost his case and was allowed to pay off Council’s costs in $1,000 instalments. Nice if you can get it. Nicer still if you only make one payment and two years later Council still has done nothing further to pursue you. In another case the staff made the claim that everything had been done to recover that particular debt; as you read further, however, you quickly discover the matter hasn’t even been referred to Council’s debt

collectors – a pursuit I would therefore be tempted to describe as less than dogged. In several other cases the amount actually owed has not even been finalised years later, let alone collected. However I was dumbfounded by the presence on the spreadsheet of a case dating back to when I was on Council in 1998. Mind boggling! Belongil landowner and developer Barry Wain was back then successfully prosecuted for polluting Belongil Creek. Mr Wain paid Council’s costs (or an agreed portion thereof) but he failed to pay either the fine or the compensation awarded by the court. At some stage they’d been unable to locate him despite their best efforts. There’s a couple of serious problems with this claim. Firstly it happens that both Mr Wain and his company Wengarin P/L were defendants in the case. If judgement was obtained against both, then this normally means that if Mr Wain defaults then his company can be pursued for the full amount – and vice-versa if it were the company that had de-

faulted. Now a simple internet search reveals that Wengarin P/L remained in existence until 2006, meaning that Council had several years to serve documents at that company’s registered address. Conversely a simple internet search would also have revealed which other companies Mr Wain might be involved in as a director at any point, providing further clues to his personal whereabouts. Was this done? The second problem I raise is that to my knowledge one is legally unable to claim outstanding debts after a period of six years. I don’t know whether this applies to court costs, fines and compensation, but my point is that your elected councillors wouldn’t know either. They wouldn’t know for the simple reason that Council’s legal services officer does not, in my opinion, do enough to inform them. Yes, she’ll answer any questions they may put, but when it comes to active education and forewarning she’s about as likely to do it as any other staff member, ie, not at all. Mushrooms they are and mushrooms they shall remain. So far so bad. I addressed the

relevant council meeting as to the various issues that I saw arising from the spreadsheet and was pleasantly surprised to see that councillors during debate of the matter asked some probing questions. I thought to myself: ‘I’m getting through to these guys at last.’ Alas it was not to be; by late February when the next spreadsheet appeared the staff had already totally out-manoeuvred them using a procedural device which I’ll explain some other time. Unfortunately I missed this meeting due to being misinformed by Council counter staff as to the correct date of the next meeting. As a result of this I found out what had happened after it was all over. What had happened was that your elected clowns voted to make all future cost debate and staff reports on that subject confidential, can you believe it! All on the initiative of Ross Tucker. Nice one, Jan. Nice one, Greens. Transparancy? Out the window. Accountability? Ditto. If you look at the current edition of the Saturday Star you’ll see that once again Ross Tucker is running wild on his favour-

ite subject, being legal costs. Strange, is it not, that one who is always allegedly trying to save legal costs by avoiding litigation is the very one who moves to bury the question? He owes us an explanation, I think. Why is he apparently content to sit by while certain developers owe Council up to $40,000 (each), without any interest accruing, over a number of years? Put another way, why does he appear to condone certain debtors being given what amount to long term interest free loans, courtesy of the ratepayer? PS: I’d like to retract my opening suggestion that nothing ever changes; it’s quite clear that my prying questions have indeed changed things – for the worse. Will your elected clowns admit their mistakes and rescind their absurd resolution? Don’t hold your breath; they are in denial from Jan Barham down. They would rather fuck it up their way than get it right someone else’s way, that’s clear. Would it be different it it were their own money involved rather than merely that of the ratepayers?

will no longer be able to legally practise after June this year because of lack of insurance and thus inability to register as health professionals. There is a two year moratorium for homebirth midwives on the insurance issue, allowing more needed time for an insurer to ‘step up’, whether that be government funded, as advocated by Dr Miller, or private health insurer/fund. Therefore, it will not be illegal for homebirth midwives to practise and attend women at home while the moratorium is in place. Also, all midwives who are currently registered with a state or territory registering body, will automatically be rolled over to the new national registration body on July 1.

I hope this information alleviates any concerns local mums-to-be are having about the suggested loss of such a wonderful service and natural experience provided by our much needed homebirth midwives and their support teams.

Rates policy

had was…? Higher payments to banks. Sound familiar? Today, what’s different? Oh, nothing really. Rates are lower because we have a mining boom to balance imports, and all our money is funnelled into the housing market pyramid schemes. We are on a shorter chain, so a little rate rise hurts more, because house prices have inflated so far. Is there an alternative? Uh, yeah! A distributed sales tax, and a new loans charge. Some people are buying too many Range Rovers in Toorak? Why should you pay more to balance it? Too much being spent on E, alcohol and iPods on the Gold Coast? Why should a florist in Coonabarabran be penalised? Makes no sense. Too many new loans being taken out? Why should existing borrowers get slugged? Makes no sense. It’s not targeted. When demand is surging, I advocate a distributed sales tax on non-essentials. Don’t buy, don’t pay the tax. Distributed, because revenue would then go to everyone, not government coffers, as a bonus payment. This encourages saving and slows things down a bit. Then, the tax is taken off. You don’t have to pay, just wait a bit. New debt I advocate separating from existing loans by

placing a charge on new borrowings. Just until things calm down. Once again, distributed to all. The result is permanently lower interest rates. The cost? There isn’t one. Unless you’re in a hurry for a new iPod when we’re importing too many Range Rovers, and can’t wait a few months. Then the rest of us get paid by you for your decision to endanger the economy. It’s a sensible system. Oh, but no angle for banks. Pity that, huh? Matthew Hartley

Interest rates a concern? Here’s the status quo. Interest rates have been used to encourage or discourage people from bor-

rowing money, in order to keep inflation under control. (However, as Fast Buck$ pointed out, house and share prices don’t get included in the count.) Interest rates are also used to influence consumer spending, giving anyone with a debt either reduced payments – ‘woohoo!’ – or increased payments, – ‘doh!’ – to determine how much you have to spend. It’s dishonest and immoral. It’s also dumb. For example, increasing interest rates increases the cost of doing business, and therefore inflation. Own goal. In the last 25 years, we have seen high interest rates drive businesses to the wall, and farmers to hang themselves in shame at losing the land they feel part of, for this idea: that excess demand in the economy is spilling over into imports. Yes, a theory exists that Demand should therefore be reduced until Supply could catch up. It’s a lie. Demand for goods Australia would never produce, like Japanese stereos and European cars, was coming from wealthy, low debt people in rich neighbourhoods. So, people in marginal areas were penalised. Families were torn apart, farmers died, businesses crashed, and the only effect it

Listen up, people

of people. In the world there are happy people, sad people, thieves, good people, rapists, life savers and life takers. Some are okay, some are absolutely not. At a school, there are exactly the same type of people within that school. Same with business buildings and people on MySpace. Why should it be different with tourists? Yeah, there might be tourists who rape, which not okay, but not all of them. You can’t label every tourist as a rapist. And even if you take the tourists away, rape would still be there. Lastly, listen to yourself. You might dream of going to London, Tokyo, New York and any little town in between. You would want to be welcomed and at least given a chance at making an impression. Imagine if you go there, and were treated by the locals exactly the way we treat our tourists. You’d be disgusted and feel totally and completely unwelcome. And you’d never come back. You may be thinking ‘Well, we never want our tourists to come back’ but if it means treating people like mucus on the pavement, what kind of moral human being can you call yourself?

Firstly, if you are white, you are an intruder. People may be flocking to our home town for the beauty of it, but they aren’t killing and stealing people away to do so, unlike what the white settlers did to the natives (and worse) a few hundred years ago. So next time you open you mouth to insult or complain about a city slicker settling or holidaying here, think for a second. They didn’t murder to destroy the land. They saved to start a life somewhere beautiful. Secondly, if people want to soak up the beauty of our home, they have every right to. You don’t need to live here to have a good time in Byron. And please note, they are the ones putting all the money into the Byron Shire. Tourism is big money, and it is us, the locals, who reap the benefits. And, yeah, there might be traffic jams, and if you don’t like it, move to Uki. Thirdly, rape is horrible, disJuanita Ebbs gusting, happens everywhere Mullumbimby and is an extreme accusation to place on a group of people.

Marking the transition from boys to men Transition Towns Kellie Gough & Liane Simons

Mandy Nolan

In a society where the closest thing we have to initiation is moving from your Ls to your Ps, the Pathways Foundation continues to run programs to assist children in making that transition to becoming men and women. Greg Pearson is the father of two sons who accompanied his eldest boy to a Pathways program. The week had a profound effect on Greg and his son Chester, although neither of them really wanted to go in the first place. ‘I didn’t want to do it, as a psychiatrist I am very not into the touchy feely thing. I thought I’d rather take Chester off snowboarding. He was 13 at the time. I think the person who was keen was Leigh [Greg’s wife]. Chester was a quirky kid when he was younger and pretty disengaged. I reluctantly agreed to do Pathways, but Chester didn’t want to do it.’ So how does a parent persuade a child to participate in a life-changing experience when they don’t want it? ‘I think it’s skilful parental persuasion to get them there! ‘I really didn’t know what to

expect, and I was quite worried it was going to be more zealous and charismatic than I was prepared for. I was nervous about it and before we entered the holy place they said anything you’d like to say, and I said I don’t want anyone to ask me what I do because I thought it was going to make it weird – they all thought I was a drug dealer or something, so it was a bit of a disappointment when they found out I was just a psychiatrist.’ Greg was impressed with the skill level of the facilitators. ‘I had a great experience and I was really impressed with the sophistication of the two facilitators. They were two incredibly talented men. I don’t know if they knew what they were doing theoretically, but on a practical level their knowledge on rites of passage, relationships, and ability to be sensitive and charismatic and lead was excellent.’ There’s not too much Greg can reveal about what really happens at Pathways, because like any good initiation it’s secret. This is something he sees as vital to maintaining the mystique and making the process powerful. ‘It’s part of the intrigue and

Generic image for illustrative purposes.

I think more than anything else they don’t want the kids to be talking about it among themselves. ‘A lot of the process is about being forced to shed the normal accoutrements that get you through your daily life, so you feel open and vulnerable. ‘Lots of what happens is incredibly simple, gathering wood for the daily fire, there is an emphasis is on story telling. No one is there to give advice, just to pass on stories. One of the facilitators is a fantastic storyteller, he told a lot of ancient stories and built to the rite of passage night when the boys are offered a substantial challenge.’ Many returning fathers express how the Pathways program was enriching for them as well. ‘It was a great experience for me because I don’t get to talk that much and I really enjoyed that process. ‘I am used to that sort of dialogue, and it was a fantastic experience for Chester. When he came back he said it was the best week of his life. ‘There was no way if he’d gone snowboarding we would have covered the ground we covered

in the week at Pathways. ‘I lined up again and did it with it with Wil three years later. I’d recomend it for any man. ‘I don’t think you go there to improve your relationship with your boy, you go to honour his transition to manhood.’ Pathways has two camps coming up: Young Stars, March 20-21 (for young boys 6-10 and their fathers or a mentor) and Pathways to Manhood (13 -15 years with father or mentor) scheduled April 19-24.

From its inception in Totnes, UK, in 2006, the Transition Towns movement has fast gained international momentum and now has over 250 initiativesworldwide. More than 50 of these are based in Australia and New Zealand. The Sunshine Coast became Australia’s first officially recognised initiative in 2007. The Transition movement is described as a positive, solution-based approach to coping with peak oil and climate change on a community level. It is based on the premise that our current communities are not yet resilient enough to successfully deal with any crisis resulting from the lack of cheap oil availability or climate change issues. There is an emphasis placed on drawing the entire community together in a creative and proactive way to work together on a plan for reducing local dependence on fossil fuels (energy descent). It aims to empower people to take action now by going through the process of reduced energy dependence slowly rather than dealing with a shock change. Transition Byron Shire has been established to encourage dialogue between individuals

in the community and between all the groups and organisations already doing related work. The first goal is to network with existing groups, and to see if this is actually something our community wants to pursue. If so, further awareness raising events will be held throughout the year. If the interest is there, we will then work towards setting up the various groups, (food, waste, energy, transport, health, heart and soul, business etc), that we as a community think are relevant in creating an Energy Descent Action Plan. Coming up at the end of March, the first event will be three film/discussion nights across the Shire (details in coming weeks). This will provide further understanding of what other communities are doing to address their resilience in the face of Peak Oil and Climate Change. If local interest seems to be strong, then further events will occur regularly throughout the year.

the people of Mullumbimby should have is the ability to vote with their feet, which means having the choice to shop at Woolworths. We can’t agree in principle with the ‘winner takes all’ assumption in the Mullumbimby Forum’s opinion poll challenge. If for example a majority supported Woolworths, we wouldn’t expect the Mullumbimby Forum to be silenced and not express their views – it’s a free country. Similarly, if for whatever reason 51% didn’t support Woolworths, that shouldn’t preclude us from putting our offer to those who do want to shop with us, or trying to earn the support of others. Woolworths has a right to put our offer to the people of Mullumbimby and believes the views of some shouldn’t take away the choice of others. The Woolworths development is not about changing the unique character or lifestyle of Mullumbimby, but about giving a better offer of quality, range, convenience and value – locally in Mullumbimby – so shopping can fit around people’s lifestyles, rather than the other way around. We have had feedback from many locals who support Woolworths, including many who regularly shop in neighbouring towns. We believe that providing choice locally will help keep expenditure within Mullumbimby and benefit many local small businesses, including specialty shops. Woolworths understands there is a diversity of opinion and that support needs to be earned. We don’t earn business by doing what we want, but by offering what customers want, in terms of range, convenience and value. We look forward to putting that offer to the people of Mullumbimby.

will only create jobs in Mullumbimby if it attracts out of town shoppers back to Mullumbimby, in which case it will still be a net loss of jobs for the Shire (Ocean Shores, Bi-Lo?) assuming, as we must, that Tweed and Lismore residents will stick with their own Woolies. On the positive side, there will be short term jobs for construction. The negative on that one is that the construction will be a permanent eyesore at the town’s entrance. It will be a net loss of jobs, however, assuming two things. Firstly that Woolies economies of scale will be counterproductive to net jobs within the industry and secondly, that Woolies will sell less local produce negatively affecting lo-

cal farmers. While it may be assumed that the net job loss will be offset by lower prices for foods, there is an assumption made that the net health costs will increase (very hard to quantify, however) on the basis that the ‘fresh food people’ will sell older and more chemically polluted foods. The lower price assumption may prove to be a negative in the long term if competitors fold their businesses, in which case the lack of competition will see prices rise. Should we fight market forces or should capitalism reign supreme? Farmers, when it comes to protecting their own industries, generally fight it but when it comes to supermarket prices, generally support it. Human nature? Maybe. Our options now are to politically boycott them, which is unlikely to work effectively as more and more people will likely get lazy and buy cheap, or to outcompete them in true capitalist style. On this level, the farmers market next door would be a great start. I do recall, also, that I was one of the original owners of Fun Foods and we managed to make a success of that business starting in a town (Lismore) that had two major supermarket chains. At the end of the day I just don’t like Woolies because it just isn’t Mullum. Is that fair enough?

if they didn’t get in we’d have Woolworths barging their way in instead, and Mallams would have to close. In late 2006 it was announced that the Court had overidden Byron Council and approved Mallams’ DA and that building would commence in January 2007. So us local residents waited and dreaded. For the whole of 2007 nothing happened until, as a Christmas present, Mallams announced they had sold out to Woolworths. This finally mobilised other thinking residents of Mullum into action, bringing into focus a range of other negative impacts and issues. I have learned in this process that Woolworths is not the chummy Aussie mate we thought they were and that they go about getting what they want by any means possible. I now have no doubt that from the very beginning of this saga that it was always going to be Woolworths building this supermarket and not Mallams. To those of you who can’t wait to shop at Woolworths, if you can’t find any sympathy for the many long-established businesses and jobs in Mullum that they will try to destroy, perhaps you’ll show some compassion towards those of us whose once quiet and peaceful streets you’ll be using as doormats in your rush to fill your trolleys.

and concept of choice it espouses, then let it go buy some land in the industrial estate in Manns Road and donate the Station Street site as a public garden and children’s play area. Really!

Mullumbimby Q I’ve

avoided the Woolies debate but Janice Lang’s smug letter aroused my ire (Letters, March 2). I’m amazed that this argument that only locallybred stock has the right to express an opinion still gets an outing. What’s ‘local’, Janice? I see you live in Ewingsdale – is that local? Does a birthright in Byron Shire confer the necessary status and give the Byronborn a voice. Or is it strictly Mullumbimby aristocracy? Is it NSW? Or will ‘Australian’ count? This is parochialism taken to the point of madness but we hear it often enough from a few Mullum-bred folk. I was unlucky enough to be born many thousands of miles away in a land so distant it probably doesn’t register in Janice’s imagination. Ironically, I’m not opposed to Woolies but Janice won’t want to hear that because my vote doesn’t count. You see, I’m not local – I live in Mullumbimby Creek. Dave Kennerley

Q Have Q Having

Q I find it tiresome and insulting to read letters from supporters of Woolworths insinuating that those of us who are opposed to this development are a bunch of Bolsheviks trying to stop a good old fashioned Aussie icon from doing ‘the right thing’ for all us poor Mullumbimby yokels. Interesting also how most letters supporting Woolworths are from people who either live out of town or nowhere near the proposed site in Station Street. I have been fighting this development since 2005 when it was first submitted by Mallams. Back then I regularly shopped at Mallams and thought they were a great little business. As for Woolworths, I had no opinion of them one way or the other. However the prospect of having a large supermarket built right in the middle of our quiet and safe residential neighbourhood was completely outrageous and unacceptable. Mallams’ DA to Council was rightly turned down due to traffic and noise issues affecting local residents. So Mallams went to the Land and Environment Court, to have the matter decided upon. During the months of waiting for the outcome Mallams embarked on a PR exercise saying that

Bronwyn Sindel

read this week’s Echo and now this weeks News, I have to say a few words about that supposed ‘silent majority’. Are there really a majority of people in Mullumbimby who are so selfish that all they can think about is buying items for a few cents less than they can currently – that this is the bottom line for them? How many times do they have to be told that not only will Woolworths in town mean reduced business for local business, that food miles contributing to climate change will definitely increase, that profits going to Woolworths will help support their gambling and liquor ventures, and that life at home for all those living in Station Street and Prince Street will be a nightmare? How can anyone with any compassion or desire for the common good support a huge corporate beast invading a village atmosphere? It’s only ten minutes to Ocean Shores and 15 minutes to Byron Bay for those addicted to whatever it is they feel Woolworths offers that they can’t do without. I just simply can’t believe that there’s a majority of people in this town that would honestly make the choice that Woolworths in Station Street would mean. If Woolworths is really committed to the high ideals

the people who want to ‘bring on Woolies’ thought about the total impact that this will have on wonderful Mullumbimby? Take the traffic. Can you imagine how much this will change when the trucks start to thunder in 24 hours a day, seven days a week? There is going to be a very large car park with traffic streaming in and out where there is now a horse paddock. Mullumbimby Public School is in the street next to the Woolworths site. I have four grandchildren in the area and the eldest usually strolls to school with mum, pram, baby and other little sister picking a mango or two on the way. Unlike the big city, not many children get dropped at school by car – this makes it a relatively safe environment for children to negotiate their way around the streets. You see children playing in the streets, riding their horses, kicking a ball and walking to the shops. Also, refreshingly, we have not one set of traffic lights in the Byron Shire. Is all of this worth preserving? This is the future I want for my children and grandchildren not the ‘convenience’ of being able to buy ten different kinds of toilet roll. Diane Hart

Homeless students excel at studies The Byron Bay Youth House (BBYH) provided the following story: The Byron Bay Youth House (BBYH) is a not profit organization providing crisis and medium term accommodation for young people aged between 16 and 24 years old. We are the only youth crisis accommodation service available between Grafton and Tweed and can only provide a maximum of five beds with the vast majority of our clients from the Lismore, Ballina and Byron Shires. In the past 12 months the BBYH has had over 150 referrals though could only accommodate 51 clients. Family breakdown is the major cause of young people presenting and it is still unclear whether associating issues such as mental health and drugs and alcohol are a cause or consequence of homelessness. What is clear is that approximately 40% of people who are homeless as adults were first homeless as young people. It is therefore imperative that the perpetuating cycle of homelessness be prevented by providing the necessary support and case management to the client in order to reduce the chances of re-presenting in the future. The Youth House has a team of proficient youth workers that

support young people to identify their specific needs in relation to independent living skills which will assist them to either return to the parental home or exit into our medium term housing program or to find other stable accommodation. While residing at the Youth House young people are linked into various support services, approximately 30 per cent of clients remain at school or equivalent and the BBYH ensures to promote positive working relationships with the school and the client. The BBYH has supported many young people

completing their Yr 10 /11 and HSC and most recently two clients were accepted into University on their first preferences. Our medium term housing program also offers support for young people at risk who are currently at school or pursuing further studies such as TAFE and University. At a time of a young person’s life where it is difficult enough dealing with the ‘normal’ issues and pressures of adolescence such as studies, career paths, unemployment, body image, safe sex, drugs and alcohol etc, family breakdown

can be detrimental to the young person’s wellbeing and future development including sustaining a home, education and employment. Specialist services like the BBYH continue to address the needs of young people experiencing or who are at risk of homelessness though with limited funding and resources we are having to turn clients away. The Rudd government is aiming to halve homelessness by 2020 and there is potential for more medium term housing stock to be administered, though in order to be successful the necessary funds are required to support and case manage the client appropriately. Youth Homeless Matters Day is April 14 and the BBYH will be launching its fundraising campaign to attract financial contributions from our local communities in order to sustain additional housing and the necessary client support for young people in the Northern Rivers. On April 14 the BBYH will be having an open house inviting services and the general community to an information and discussion morning. For further information or ways that you can support the Byron Bay Youth House please contact Angela Ward on 6685 7264 or bbyhcoordinator@ linknet.com.au

Don’t stress out

{

You know when you are stressed – your heartbeat quickens, you sweat more, and you have shallow breathing. Yet in our fast pace life, it seems that all of these symptoms of stress are the last thing on our minds, causing an unhealthy lifestyle. Yet in comes the StressWatch to save the day (and your health!). The StressWatch monitors your heart rate and body temperature, and acts like an alarm clock – not telling you to wake up, but to calm down and breathe. Designed by Michael Mathis and Gerda Hopfgartner, the StressWatch has a black bar graph which shows your stress levels – if blue and greens are visible, then that’s great - you are cool, calm and collected. However, if pink, red or orange are appearing, it’s time to sit back and relax for a while. And yes, the StressWatch also does what watches are meant to do – it also tells the time.

Best thing since sliced bread! No need to fear anymore, toast perfectionists, for your bread will never be too white, too brown, or too burnt again – UK design team Inventables, have found a solution. The Transparent Toaster really is just that – a see through appliance consisting of two sheets of glass that are able to be heated, and therefore can cook bread while you watch. ‘This transparent toaster allows you to see bread while it is toasting so you’re never surprised by toast that comes out too dark,’ The Inventables team explain. Put the bread in between the glass sheets, watch the slice cook until it’s the perfect colour, and eject. Simple and easy. Yet what’s so convenient about Inventables’ Transparent Toaster is it’s also for those who are too busy (or too impatient!) to watch their bread slowly turn to the optimal shade...the appliance also has a conventional timer dial.

Laughs are doubled at the Byron Services Club this week when two comics take the stage as a double headed, bi-mouthed two hander cult sensation that is Glover and Sorrensen. Seven sat them down for a good stern chat to ascertain just how these two blokes became one. (Warning, these guys are actually funny down to their DNA‌) How did you and Alan meet? G: Through a classified ad in the personal section. S: We actually met at the Woodford Folk Festival about ten years ago. I saw Alan doing his comedy there (I didn’t know it was comedy at the time) and I thought, there’s a man who needs a friend. Was the comedy connection instant? G: Yes, like coffee. S: I have always loved Alan’s comedy. Over the years I heard his routine many times as we met up at various gigs around the country. G: And despite hearing all my jokes, we still became good mates. When did you realise that you two could ‘do it’ together? G: It was the third date. We’d had a few drinks after I’d done a particularly brilliant show at some place in North Queensland. I was talking about how great I was to S over a few beers when he said something... I’d never listened to him before. He was funny. I was impressed. How do you prepare for a two hander show? G: With one hand‌ S: We get together a few minutes before we go onstage and have a bit of a chat about how we’ll start. That’s

it. After that, it’s whatever comes into our heads. All the time we’re hanging around together between shows we’re constantly making observations about what’s going on around us. If it amuses us at the time, it will end up in that night’s show. Do you share ideas, or are things yours, and things Alan’s? G: What ideas? S: I’m from Nimbin, so I share everything, even my genius jokes. Alan’s from a rich family in Sydney, so he believes he

owns everything by birthright. Do you even know where one brain starts and another finishes? G&S: No. We have mind melded. S: Once after a tour I thought I was Alan. I went home to his place and lived there for a week. Saved his marriage it did. How does being in a two hander change what happens for you on stage? G: I get laughs now. S: We have a lot of fun. We don’t know what the other is

I hate places that say ‘no children’ like they are some sort of under-developed animal akin to a dog or a kitten and heaven forbid if they poop on the shagpile or scratch up the drapes. Today I decided I needed a holiday. A few days away somewhere quiet. In the forest. Self contained. No other people. Just me, my partner and my baby daughter. So I trawl Wotif for the appropriate accommodation. I find a rainforest wonderland that is the perfect panacea for the soul. If thumbnails on a website are to be believed, this is five star luxury. I am having a middle-aged fantasy. Not of parties and shopping, but of a comfy couch and DVDs and a steamy forest and a kitchen that’s not mine. In my head I am already there. I am in the spa. I am doing the things you can’t do when you have five kids, like read a book and cut my toenails and have a complete uninterrupted thought. Turns out that my dream destination doesn’t take kids. ‘We’re not insured for children,’

Without compromising, the Chef made an edgy Hip Hop record that refused to bastardise the catalogue he laid down 15 years ago. On top of that, Rae was a go-to for numerous rappers making

baby doesn’t cry.’ ‘Sorry. love, It’s the insurance, why don’t you come when the kids are grown up a bit.’ Why don’t you fuck off. I’ll have had a nervous breakdown by then, lady, no thanks to you and your skanky couples retreat. What am I left with? Where can you go with a small child to unwind? Fancy a three day stay in the McDonalds party room? I’m shocked that an infant is such a public liability nightmare. She’s a ten month old who barely crawls and blurts ‘read read read’. She is dangerously cute, but I don’t think it could cause injury. But then I haven’t really considered the harm to others. What if she falls asleep in bed with a ciggie and burns the place down, or gets pissed and punches out a possum or becomes violent and pushes her parents off the balcony? I can see that in comparison to the potential liability issues that adults present, small children are lethal. I should know. I’m almost dead from fatigue. No Children. Imagine if I’d rung up and she’d said ‘no

fat people, we’re not insured.’ Fat people are public liability considerations, they can demolish chairs and plunge through floor boards‌ Or, no Greeks, no gays, no old people, they’re just too depressing, this is a getaway, after all. Or no ugly people – they tend to put our couples off making out. If any of these other statements were made we’d be on the phone making a complaint re human rights. We’d have them shamed for contravening the UN convention and expose them as narrowminded bigots. Unfortunately such rights don’t extend to children. You can quite easily exclude children with no consequence. I’m pissed off. I used to be a child myself once. Children need to get a union. Start protesting. (They’d be excellent at it.) I’m booking anyway. I’ve decided to hide the baby. And when she asks I’m going to say ‘What baby? No, this isn’t a baby. This is my grandmother. She’s got dementia and has regressed so much I’ve started breastfeeding her. Nanna want some titty?’

Los Amigos Invisibles Discovered by David Byrne in New York City almost two decades ago, Los Amigos Invisibles has prospered through 18 years, visiting 60 countries, releasing six albums and winning a Latin Grammy in 2009 for their latest Commercial, the album that embodies their infectious blend of Latin rhythms, funk, disco and acid jazz. They have recorded and collaborated with the likes of Louie Vega, Dimitri from Paris (Superpop Venezuela) and Masters at Work (Venezuelan Zinga Son), and despite conquering the local club scene in Venezuela and playing important international festivals, they have not lost any of their enthusiasm for playing their brand of high-octane funk to live fans across the globe. The album Commercial stylishly captures the band’s inimitable sound away from the Latin music staples of salsa and merengue, firmly establishing them in the musical vanguard of truly international crosscultural music. The Brewery, Byron Bay on Wednesday March 10.

Wild about Strings Wild Strings is a musical meeting of two exciting fiddle players, Cleis Pearce and Laura Targett. Together they ride a journey that celebrates inspired string music from the heart and from around the world. They have

a unique sound, combining swinging rhythmic fiddling and sublime improvisation with harmonising vocals. Their inspirations are wide and deep, from the dance music of Ireland to folk tunes of India with stops in Romania and the Middle East, and from ancient places to contemporary Australia, borrowing tunes with love and respect for tradition. On stage, they present a show of unaccompanied fiddle virtuosity, with dynamic use of live effects and loops. They recently released their selfnamed debut album, featuring eclectic melodies and original compositions. Wild Strings play the Chameleon Cafe, Byron Bay 7.30pm this Friday.

The Byron BAT Bus will be available for a youth round trip, bookings are essential – 0406 867 127.

funky

Jonatha nBoulet@ GreatNo rthern .Thursd ay called cinema at the old Byron Bay Literary Institute. The audience, the tens of thousands of people who have watching films in Byron Bay ever since are the focus of the first of two mini-documentaries made specifically for the Opening and Closing nights of the Byron Bay International Film Festival. The festival film unit has uncovered a life that seemed simpler, innocent and in some respects more brutish. Interviews, home movie footage and still photographs reveal an industrial town with a small population embracing the beautiful bay. Fish were plentiful, people worked at the dairy company Norco, or at the meatworks, sandmining or at the whaling station. Byron’s industrial age came to an end when the meatworks closed in 1983. Many people stayed, others had to move on to find work. The civic and

business leaders then set about chasing tourism for the town’s economic survival. For the mini-documentaries which celebrate one hundred years of cinema at Byron Bay, twelve locals were interviewed. One, the film critic Peter Thompson, found Byron Bay when shooting a surfing film in 1965. It was a revelation to see ‘this little industrial town on the beach with ravishing landscapes’. When he came back in the 70’s there were all sorts of people living there, refugees from the cities, the USA, surfies and hippies. The renowned director and producer John Weiley came to Byron Bay in the 1950’s with his father, a member of parliament who was examining the prospect of starting a whaling station in Yamba. The experience made his father lose interest in the idea as he thought whaling was barbaric. John said of the town, ‘it had

In 2009, the NSW Government passed special legislation overriding 12 laws – mostly environmental – to let the World Rally Championship car race run through national parks and other sensitive areas in Tweed and Kyogle Shires. Tweed Shire Greens Councillor Katie Milne sought an injunction against the rally in the Federal Court, and incurred costs of around $35,000. No Rally Group has pledged to cover these costs, and is holding a series of fundraising events in Gallery Cafe the region. This is one of them!

no surf, and the abattoir and the whaling station were trying to out-stink each other’. Later while making a film for the Bicentennial he came back to re-discover what a beautiful place it was. While photographing surfers from a helicopter he found the plot of land where he now lives. The environmentalist and filmmaker David Warth first discovered Byron Bay when he was told there was a place that made great vegie-burgers. This began a whole chain of events that lead him to making a film about the wilderness in Tasmania. It was for the ABC who sent him to Byron Bay to edit the film with Michael Balson. That was 1999 and David knew that Byron was his new home. David thinks that Byron Shire will consolidate as a centre for the arts. ‘There is something in the air here. A lot of creative people gravitate to this area, and once they collaborate it becomes a hot-bed of innovation.’ Cinema and the town of Byron Bay have come a long way since 1910 and the relatives of cedar cutters. What the next one hundred years have to offer will astonish. For now, we can enjoy the current delights and insights from the Byron Bay International Film Festival and consider the future.

again; kids of any age are discerning readers with an inbuilt sense of what works on a page and what does not. Writers of children’s fiction need to get it right, and Margaret Hamilton is someone who can show them how. Margaret Hamilton is a highly respected Sydney-based children’s book publisher. Her visit to Byron Bay later this month, as a guest of the Northern Rivers Writers’ Centre, is a chance for local writers to access invaluable feedback and advice about writing for children, and doing it well. Margaret has been involved with children’s books all her life; as children’s librarian, bookseller and publisher with a mainstream publishing house.

Margaret’s contribution to the children’s book industry has been recognised with countless awards and her own publishing company, Margaret Hamilton Books, has achieved international success and a reputation for high quality books. Margaret will be available to meet with local writers in Byron Bay to discuss their work on Friday, 19 March. These supersessions are available to NRWC members only, the sessions will run for at least 30 minutes, $90 per consultation.

of rehabilitation. If there is a false note it’s in the casting of Colin Farrell as Tommy Sweet, the partner from Bad’s past who, to Brad’s chagrin, is selling out major venues. Furtive-eyed and overly conciliatory, he resembles more a Corleone in denim than a mega star of the redneck circuit. Not surprisingly, given that T-Bone Burnett and Stephen Bruton were responsible, the songs are terrific and, even though the movie doesn’t enter uncharted territory, a towering performance from Bridges, whose singing is more than just passable, and an unflagged turn in the plot see to it that nothing is taken for granted. Cleansing and hopeful, this is a boot-scootin’, heart warming paean to the indestructible sinew of the spirit. ~ John Campbell

The wasted troubadour in need of redemption is a familiar subject, but unlike similar reprobates in what is a very American genre, Bad is neither self-pitying nor misunderstood. If not exactly happy with his circumstances, he is comfortable in his own skin, a departure from the norm that adds depth to Cooper’s subtle screenplay. In Phoenix, Bad grants an interview to Jean (Maggie Gyllenhaal), a single mother striving to establish a career in journalism, and an unlikely, fragile love grows between them. Desperate to save his relationship with Jean and encouraged by his old drinking buddy Wayne (Robert Duvall in a marvelous cameo), Bad becomes aware that it’s never too late to save your own life. It is an awakening that leads him to make the supreme effort

ALICE IN WONDERLAND $3 SURCHARGE

Crazy Heart There’s an age old dictum – Keep It Simple, Stupid. An increasing number of puffed-up filmmakers, armed to the teeth with the newest advances in cinematic skullduggery, would do well to observe it, for it can be relied upon to bring the kiss of life to any undertaking. First-time director Scott Cooper has crafted an intimate romance that takes you wholly into its confidence because it foregoes thrills and spills and titillation – set in the ornery US south-west, no gun is seen or heard – without indulging in faux humility or taking cheap shots at its peripheral players (note bene, Joel and Ethan). Bad Blake (Jeff Bridges), by his own admission, is fifty-seven and broke. A once famous country singer, he lives alone in a shabby brick veneer in Houston and, reduced to performing with pick-up bands in bowling alleys and good ol’ boys’ bars, he undertakes gruelling road trips from one booking to the next in his 1978 Suburban wagon, finding comfort in whisky, cigarettes and one night stands in cheap motels.

illustrations by John Tenniel) are brilliantly conceived – the Red Queen (a fabulously ill-tempered Helena Bonham Carter) especially so. An unseen cast of celebrated Brits obviously had a hoot voicing a number of parts, including Stephen Fry, Timothy Spall, a splendidly lugubrious Alan Rickman as the Blue Caterpillar and Barbara Windsor as the Doormouse (what a carry on!). Johnny Depp is given top billing as the Mad Hatter but, in drag yet again, he is beginning to display a regrettable over-willingness to take on the roles of gaudily made-up silly people. Whether it’s for kids or ‘older children, dear, who fret to find our bedtime near’, the contrary truth is that it is in every way conventional. ~ John Campbell

Alice In Wonderland Tim Burton’s interpretation of the famous Lewis Carroll stories is a sumptuous tour de force from an acknowledged modern master. Unfortunately, I couldn’t connect with it at all. I may have enjoyed it more in 3D – Avatar through the funny glasses was infinitely superior to the ‘flat’ screen version – but then you must ask yourself what exactly are you hoping for in a movie. Timothy Leary eye candy? Jerry Bruckheimer carnage and wreckage? Sexual fantasy? Or something that might help you make sense of the world and those other odd humans who share it with you. Could ‘Casablanca’ have possibly been better in 3D (or colour, for that matter)? No expense has been spared in providing Burton with the latest technology, though the execution of a couple of ‘motion capture’ shots is not convincing (e.g. the Knave of Hearts on his steed has the fluency of a puppet on a string), and such largesse is only reasonable, for this is the most hallucinogenic of stories. But don’t you wonder sometimes what artists such as Burton might come up with if commissioned to work within a fraction of the budget and just the bare necessities of camera, lights and mike – unplugged, as it were? Australian actress Mia Wasikowska is an exceptionally beautiful Alice (try to find 1985’s Dreamchild on DVD, written by Dennis Potter and starring Ian Holm, for a haunting study of Carroll and his juvenile muse), but it is drawing a long bow, even allowing for the demands of today’s PC, to imagine her as a flaxen-haired Victorian feminist warrior prepared, wielding a magic sword, to do battle with the monstrous Jabberwock. The Underland that she moves through is a riot of colour, if somehow never quite as ‘real’ as Shrek’s surroundings, and the characters she encounters (some inspired by the original

beatsnbops Sound Crucible Vaughn Pinxit aka VJ Nuth’n and promoter of Sound Crucible’s fourth annual event is doing his Visual Arts Honours at SCU researching non-linear interactivity between sculpture and media. When performing, ‘My work is a visual expression of Rex’s (Muttboy) sound. Textures evolve. I come from a painting background so I treat the screen as a moving and layered canvas. As Rex uses glitch and static, I too source a debased visual, so I use mobile phone video as my palette. Pixelated, gritty, the new standard accepted by today’s youth and society in general, as seen in the poor quality of visuals on YouTube (and broadcast media) etc. Screen based visuals un-synched to the sound, looped fades with a hint of symbolic narrative.’ The first concert will be held at the Bangalow Church Hall on Wednesday lining up Robert Curgenven, Ross Manning, Festive Jackyls and Muttboy vs VJ Nuth’n. The second concert will be held at the New Tattersall’s Hotel in Lismore on Friday April 30. The Scrapes, Mike Cooper & Grayson Cooke, Sky Needle, Heil Spirits and Muttboy vs VJ Nuth’n, Grayson Cooke and regular Mike Cooper. Ross Manning will make a second appearance with Sky Needle alongside Brisbane luminaries Joel Stern and Alex Cuffe. Ross Manning has recently been included in the Primavera exhibition in Sydney: ‘I have a background in visual art and instrument building that I started when very young. I found my first audio recording I made with built instruments from when I was ten in 1988. I have always loved sound and music but have never learnt a traditional instrument, so I made my own.’ Please check out www.clatterbox.org/ builders/ rossmanning for an overview of some of Ross’ instruments. Q: What does your performance entail?

A: ‘My shows are always different, depending on what instrument I use. I have automated instruments that I improvise along with. Some have light sensitive electronics as a sound source. The sound is generated by different coloured lights that flash to make rhythms, colour equals sound. Very lo-fi low cost light show spectacular.’ Q: Please explain the concept behind Sound Crucible? A: ‘Sound Crucible is an

Jackie Onassid amazing non-profit music festival that exposes the Northern rivers area to the cream of international and local musicians who explore the long tradition of the avant-garde.’ Performances begin at 8pm, entry is $15. The Lismore Regional Gallery will be exhibiting Sound Crucible installations from April 23 – May 29. The 24/7 street frontage space and the Norco space will both exhibit sonic and visual artwork too.

k a a r o n A FrÊdÊric Rivière stood out in late 2008 when French electro was all about banging beats and distortion. Anoraak flashed across the musical landscape with his extra-terrestrial romantic synth-pop. His first EP Nightdrive With You got a buzz going and Frederic spent 2009 on the road and in the air. Anoraak, a member of the Valerie Collective (the hottest thing in France 2007), has to date remixed for Junkie XL, Circlesquare, Metronomy and Mika. An AC/DC fan and admirer of INXS, Midnight Oil, Cut Copy, Van She and Miami Horror, Anoraak himself is labelled as futuristic sunshine pop and Italo-disco. Frederic finds inspiration in videogames, film scores and TV shows. The talent from Nantes creates rich dance music that borrows heavily from the 80s, but here he succeeds in creating something captivating; his tunes seem to have the one essential ingredient for success: they are catchy.

Chimes (our English mate, from London) and myself. We all make different music, but we share a certain vision of the retro sound and imagery, centred around the 80’s decade and the late 70’s, the synthetizer golden age. It’s also a cool blog – www.valeriecollective.com - Check it out!

Q: Who is the Valerie collective? A: ‘It’s an artist collective made up of six musical projects, mostly coming from Nantes (Western France). It was created by College in 2007, and also includes The Outrunners, Maethelvin, Minitel Rose, Russ

Q: Are you performing live with your drummer at La La Land? A: ‘Actually we won’t do a live show in La La Land, we’re going to do a DJ set for some reason, and it’s going to be dance floor romantic pop music.’

Q: Any latest releases? A: ‘Lately, I’ve remixed a few people, like the English singer Mika, the NYC band Shy Child, and Neon Indian, some more are coming next. In the meantime I’ve recorded my first full length album, which is supposed to be released around the end of August through Bandroom Records in Australia. I’m really glad to come to Australia: I started to compose the first song of my upcoming album one year ago in a Melbourne hotel and I’ll be back just around the time it’s getting done. It’s stupid, but it makes me glad, ahah!

Last week’s solution

Mungo’s Crossword first published in The Week.

*This week Tuesday’s new moon in Pisces aligns with decisionstimulating Mercury and Uranus the rearranger for necessary changes of direction and significant new beginnings… CANCER: Assertive Mars in your financial sector for the next three months makes this the year’s most successful quarter for professional advancement and career pitches, with Tuesday’s inspired new moon this week’s best bet for making your move and giving it your best shot.

TAURUS: Tuesday’s new moon looks like providing quite a jolt for you to say goodbye to an old way of behaving. You’re in an evolutionary phase, so boost your psychic immunity during this process with discipline balanced by lots of what makes you feel good.

LEO: You’ll love Tuesday’s romantic new moon vamping up your love life, and with Mars thrusting forward again in your sign business is vigorous and your social life’s going off. But as always, the pushy red planet stirs up some personal issues and emotional moments…

GEMINI: A bright new success cycle makes this your week for turning heads, with Tuesday’s new moon highly favourable for Geminis marketing themselves. Extra energetic, inventive and enterprising, you’ll get best results by following your curiosity and instincts rather than sticking to a plan.

VIRGO: Even if people are weird, bizarre or contradictory, this is still a magical week if you can think outside your usual routine. Your planetary ruler Mercury’s move to Aries pushes energy up an octave, bringing enterprising types with inspiring ideas and progressive propositions into your orbit.

This week’s announcement that former World Champion Anatoly Karpov (above) will challenge for the leadership of the world body FIDE in September has been met with only two cheers. The current FIDE President Kirsan Iljumzhinov is both ridiculed and despised, for his ignorance of chess and his alleged involvement in the murder of critics in Kalmykia, the Russian republic of which Iljumzhinov is governor.

AQUARIUS: This week rips open the cosmic velcro to offer a glimpse of quantum leaps you might want to consider, along with a kaleidoscope of ideas that would help you reinvent the wheel where relationships are concerned. A week with curves, certainly, but just lean into them…

SAGITTARIUS: No need to waste energy initiating a shakeup this week – it’ll find you whether you want it or not. With the astral accent on home – or away – you’re likely to be either renovating and revamping or contemplating a whole new move elsewhere.

PISCES: The present celestial cocktail gives trust levels a workout, but your presently elevated x appeal will easily win others over. New moon in Pisces only comes once a year, so use Tuesday’s to move your private life to a more satisfying level of mutual understanding.

of a world title match in Saddam Hussein’s Iraq to drug testing to unpopular new rules – should be easy. However, based on Iljumzhinov’s record, expect the Kalmyk leader to remain president after the September elections, with Karpov announcing his decision to accept a lesser position on FIDE shortly before the voting begins. Currently, FIDE’s saving grace is its ability to bring out accurate and timely world ranking lists. The latest list, released last week, sees Norwegian teenager Magnus Carlsen at the top, though his margin would have been reduced to a single point had FIDE included the recent Linares tournament in their calculations. March 2010 FIDE Rankings Top 10: 1.Carlsen (Nor) 2813; 2.Topalov (Bul) 2805; 3.Kramnik (Rus) 2790; 4.Anand (Ind) 2787; 5.Aronian (Arm) 2782; 6.Mamedyarov (Aze) 2760; 7.Grischuk (Rus) 2756; =8.Svidler (Rus), Gelfand (Isr) 2750; 10.Wang Yue (Chn) 2749.

SCORPIO: With Venus and Mars both in flamboyant fire signs, the secret to handling this week’s emotional hot spots is not taking things too seriously. If finances are a little more sluggish than you’d like, ride it out till that side of life brightens up next month.

The $135,000 recycling facility enables the company to capture and utilise every part of the coffee cherry, not just the bean. A sand-filtration process renders the water safe to re-use and solid waste is composted then used to fertilise the coffee tree. Formerly known as Tangakinya Coffee, Green Cauldron Coffee produces a 100% Australian-grown and owned, premium quality Arabica coffee grown in an environmentally sustainable way. No pesticides or herbicides are employed and inorganic fertilisers are limited. What is more – and some might argue most importantly – the coffee tastes lovely!

And still in a coffee state of mind – according to Datamonitor, the world’s leading provider of online data, analytic and forecasting platforms for key sectors, sales of hot drinks are expected to be worth $1473 million by 2013, with the coffee category accounting for the largest share. Its biggest growth is coming from out-of-home consumption, with more and more consumers adopting the idea of cafe culture. This culture was started by European immigrants in the form of local cafes although in contrast to the situation in Europe, Australians prefer to spend hours drinking coffee in cafes, making them places to conduct both business and leisure. Another difference is the Australian preference for milk-based coffees. Coffeedrinking in Australia has become such an integral part of the Australian lifestyle that it has led to the explosion of many specialised coffee shops further fuelling the growth of the sector. And at-home consumption is witnessing strong demand for high quality roast and ground coffee as consumers are seeking to replicate the quality and taste of cafe coffee.

BYRON BAY (Continued from previous page)

People I know who have been to India talk about having come back somehow changed. I myself have never been there – although my 80-year old mother has, to her enchantment. India in the late 70s and early 80s was the destination of many of my contemporaries, a point of departure for Magic Bus tours overland which wound up in London. My then-boyfriend Tony did one of these trips – he was one who spoke, afterwards, about great personal changes incurred as a result of the experience – and when I met him, as arranged, in London what I mostly recall is the brand new squeaky black leather coat he had purchased there, around which I wrapped my arms, and which seemed, perhaps by its alien scent and its unfamiliarity, to hint at a slightly shifted inner life. India has been in the news a lot lately because of racially motivated violence – attacks on students, murders – directed towards Indians in the Australian community. In response to this, one outraged Melbourne woman called Mia Northrop initiated an event she called Vindaloo Against Violence, a chance to give ‘ordinary Melburnians a peaceful, easy way to express their anger and disappointment that racially motivated violence is happening in their city, to embrace and show solidarity with the local Indian community and to mount a show of force against the perpetrators of violence’. All she urged people to do was to dine at their local Indian restaurant – and the response was overwhelming. On February 25 The Age reported that around 17,000 people across Australia ‘tucked into a curry at an Indian restaurant’. Mia’s hope was that those restaurants would ‘channel the community spirit and pay it forward by donating some funds to a worthy local antiviolence or anti-racism cause.’ As it turns out, the origins of vindaloo are Portuguese rather than Indian. The term derives from the Portuguese dish Carne de Vinha d’Alhos which is meat, usually lamb, cooked with wine and garlic. It was brought to Goa by the colonising Portuguese and evolved into a curry dish through the addition of piquant and pungent Goan spices. In fact, apart from Goa, vindaloo is neither common nor popular in most

parts of India – unlike in Britain, Australia, New Zealand and Canada where it is almost always featured on Indian menus. It is one of the hottest dishes available. A common Western misconception is that, in order to be authentic, a curry must be searingly hot. In fact India, being a land of dramatic contrasts, is also a land whose cuisine is widely diverse, the direct result of cultural and religious influences together with large-scale interactions, throughout history, with neighbouring Iran, ancient Greece, Mongols and West Asia. Europe contributed its cooking styles during the colonial period. One strong influence is the longstanding vegetarianism within the Hindu, Buddhist and Jain community, with less than 30% of the population only being meat-eaters. Jains, disciples of Mahavira, were once forbidden to eat even fruit and vegetables which contained an insect, and, according to Charmaine Solomon in her ‘Encyclopaedia of Asian Food’, ‘even today the most orthodox Jains refuse to breathe the air without a mask lest they inhale some hapless creature, eat tomato because of its blood-red colour or a root vegetable because in uprooting it a grub may be injured.’ Indian cuisine is one of the most popular cuisines across the globe. In London alone I remember being dazzled by both choice and quality of Indian restaurants. Curries and braises, hot or otherwise, whose creamy nut-enriched sauces beg to be sponged up by puffy breads like naan; tangy fruity chutneys, sambals and pickles; flaky pastries; tandoori-roasted meats; deepfried puris; Persian-inspired biriyanis, pilaus and kebabs studded with nuts and dried fruit. Vibrant, colourful, gloriously-flavoured food with a rich deep heritage. Vindaloo Against Violence is a magnificent initiative if it only reminds us how enriched our nation is by the input of Indian culture and cuisine. Byron Bay Slow Food will be staging its own Vindaloo Against Violence in May, the date yet to be determined, with further details forthcoming. Everyone, members or otherwise, will be welcome.

Testing the transports of delight Horatio Bitemark Feltmallard, the chauffeur and a keen amateur mechanic, had been loitering in one of the clubhouse garages of an evening. From it came an odd assortment of noises varying from the whine of a power drill to the sound of ballpeen hammer on metal. We had had to have the valets insulate the walls of the building with Armani mattresses acquired from a Double Bay deceased estate so we could hallucinate in our float tanks in perfect silence. ‘What the deuce is that fellow doing in there?’ asked Bosworth of Sanders the butler one evening as we settled with our snifters of brandy in the Hunter S Thompson Memorial Quoits Room. ‘Sounds like he’s building one of Heath Robinson’s infernal contraptions.’ ‘I can explain all,’ said Tosser Digby. He had spent most of the day devising cunning rope traps in the truffle paddock for a particularly persistent Dalmatian which so far had escaped the bullet. ‘One afternoon, under the influence of a hashish cheroot, I was pondering the phrase “transports of delight�. Of course it refers to transports of a sensual or metaphysical nature but I wondered if one could construct a vehicle which would have the same effect. More so than a Bugatti, that is. And thanks to Feltmallard’s good offices, working most devotedly from my highly detailed plans, said transport will be ready to try out tomorrow.’

El Mar Mi Alma, (The Sea My Soul): A history in surf A selection of images by legendary surf photographer John Witzig will be on show in Byron, as part of the surf art exhibition El Mar Mi Alma, (The Sea My Soul), opening at Retrospect Galleries this week, alongside works from Mambo artist Jeff Raglus, Quicksilver’s Peter Webb and many more. Amongst John Witzig’s collection of classic Australian surf images is a shot of a young Bob McTavish with his ‘48 Holden, watching waves roll in at Noosa National Park. There isn’t another surfer in sight, nor another vehicle, because as Witzig explains, back then, not many people had cars. Witzig’s incredible photographs take us back to the early days of the Australian surf movement, pre the explosion in popularity that saw board riding become a mass participation interest, spawning a whole new culture complete with its own fashion empires and codes. Several of Witzig’s images are held in the National Portrait Gallery and he is currently preparing for a major exhibition on Australian beach culture, where his works will be hung alongside those of renowned photographer Max Dupain. Although his work is now widely recognised as an important socio-historic record ‘capturing in intimate detail

the sub-culture of beach life’, Witzig says that, ‘No one at the time was aware of the social history value of what we were doing. None of us ever saw that would be the case.’ Back in the 1960s and 70s when he was working, he says, ‘Surfing was derided and surfers themselves were considered the scum of society.’ His photographs belonged solely in the specialist world of surf magazines. It was more than a decade later that surf art in Australia really became visible, with Dare Jennings’ Mambo clothing label leading the way. Artist Jeff Raglus says being part of the Mambo team was an incredible experience. ‘I was like a kid in a lolly store,’ he remembers. ‘Free boardshorts and tee’s and cool projects to work on and they didn’t care what you did. ‘At the time I also did some design work for other people and they were always asking if I could make it a bit straighter. At Mambo, the question was always, can you make it weirder. It was the opposite of everyone else.’ Raglus was with the Mambo team for ten years, from 1990 to 2000, when Mambo founder, Dare Jennings, sold the business. ‘When Dare left that was it,’ Raglus says. ‘The new owners

style figures inspired by work that he remembers seeing on surfboards when he was a kid. He says the fact that he doesn’t use too many colours, comes from working on t-shirts. At Mambo they would do a fourcolour print and that’s what you’d have to work with. Ten years later, he’s still sticking to that rule. Quicksilver was another surf label to rise to prominence in the 1980s, but unlike Mambo, which relied on a team of freelance artists, Quicksilver brought one man on board to single-handedly direct their art for almost 20 years. Back in 1984 artist Peter Webb was doing well with his practice. A fine art graduate, he had recently returned from a residency in Paris, was exhibiting regularly and selling quite a bit of work. Then Quicksilver came knocking and a new chapter began. In Webb’s time with the company, Quicksilver developed from a small Torquay based surfwear manufacturer into a big international company, although he says this change wasn’t necessarily reflected in art department growth. ‘At times I did manage a team of artists at other international Quicksilver offices. Other times it was just me, supplying everyone, from Torquay to France, the US and Japan.’

Over the years Webb was responsible for the creation of hundreds of Quicksilver themes – Echo Beach, Surfers of Fortune, The Crossing, Warpaint and Ghetto Dog to name a few. These days he says he doesn’t have much to do with the range you see in Australia or the US, which he describes as ‘just logos’. ‘I might get asked to do a signature piece,’ he adds. ‘And I still do a range for Quicksilver in Japan. But what I’m seeing is a return of some of the old graphics. Some of my old designs are coming back, they’re just getting the young guys to redraw them.’ Webby’s boldly colourful and quirky paintings explore our fascination with surf and skate culture and are frequently exhibited internationally in the US, France and Japan. El Mar Mi Alma, (The Sea My Soul) opens at Retrospect Galleries, 5.30pm Thursday March 11, until March 25. There’s over 20 local and international artists taking part in the exhibition, from Australia, the US, Chile, Rapa Nui and Hawaii. Local brewers Stone & Wood are sponsoring the opening and everyone is welcome to come along and see this important show. More information, 6680 8825 or visit: www.retrospectgalleries.com.

started banning certain things and it was all over.’ And although the company continues, he doesn’t have anything to do with their new designs. These days Raglus paints, has exhibitions, sells work and plays in bands (like fellow Mambo artist Mental as Anything’s Reg Mombassa, Raglus is also a musician, most well known for his time with Melbourne band, Bachelors of Prague). It’s a lifestyle that he says he enjoys and a way to make a living. And at the same time he says he tries not to take his art too seriously. ‘For a while I was represented by Ray Hughes Gallery in

Sydney, but my paintings just don’t look like the other stuff in big galleries.’ ‘To me, surf art should be an extension of the whole “I don’t do a normal job” vibe. Surf art should look loose and casual and lowbrow, because you’re too busy surfing to spend too much serious time on the art...right? ‘That may not be true in everyone’s case, but it’s just the impression. I reckon me not really being with any major ‘serious’ galleries is maybe part of the Do it Yourself lowbrow surf/ art scene. It kinda suits me, just drifting along doing exactly what you want to do.’ A self-taught artist Raglus has enjoyed a following for decades, his quirky cartoon

Far North Coast Junior Surf Lifesaver of the Year Brunswick SLSC is proud to have for the second year in a row, one of its young members, 13 year old Mac Dennis, being awarded the male Far North Coast Junior Surf Lifesaver of the Year. From Fingal to the north and Yamba in the south, each of the far north coast clubs nominates one male and one female to represent their club. The candidates go through an interview process and are judged on their involvement in surf life saving and the ways in which they contribute to their local community. After his regional win, Mac headed south to compete with the winners from the ten other branches in New South Wales. Mac was both excited and honoured to represent his club at the State Titles held at the Swansea-Belmont SLSC. ‘The best thing about this year has been the friends I’ve been able to make because of this award, being with the other Junior Life Saver of the Year finalists was such a great experience.’

Mac came a very close runner-up for the state title, receiving a Junior Life Saver of the Year High Commendation, an award that is not granted

every year, but in extraordionary circumstances when there is more than one outstanding candidate. In his final year as a nip-

The second club round for 2010 was held at Tallow last Sunday. The results were as follows: Girls U16: 1st Juana Hurstmans, 2nd Georgia Kervin, 3rd Abby Paxton and 4th Coco Allen. Boys U14: 1st Khian Shaher, 2nd Jacob Ogden, 3rd Jamiel and Coorey 4th Toby Pauline. Cadets: 1st Jordy Condon, 2nd Tai Naughton, 3rd Will Harbison, and 4th Ojara Mc Carthy. In the Womens: 1st Kirsten Ogden, 2nd Juna Hurstmans, 3rd Serena, 4th Sally Miller and 5th Emma Williams. Seniors: 1st Ben Simpson, 2nd Peter Roger, 3rd Damien and 4th Lee Last Sunday saw the Brunswick SLSC Nippers celebrate the end of another season with their presentation at the club. Nippers organisers also took the opportunity to acknowledge those nippers who participated during the season. Most have completed the Surf Education programs relevant to their age and they received a certificate acknowledging this. Each age group had an age champ and a runner-up based on participation and carnival results and as a special acknowledgement, flouro green rashies were given to those children who represented the club by regularly participating at carnivals throughout the season. The club also has their new surfboards on show. The idea with the surboards is that even www.echo.net.au

though the nipper season is finished, the club is still encouraging the kids to come to the beach and have fun. The response from the kids and the parents has been very positive to the extent the club is not sure they have enough boards to go around. Some of the parents are keen surfers and will be helping to teach the kids. A couple are undertaking courses at the club’s expense, to become accredited surf coaches. Another initiative that the club implemented this season was their own learn to swim and more advanced swim training. At the start of the season many of the kids could not swim at all which posed obvious problems for a nipper club, but all who have been going to the swimming lessons are now swimming multiple

laps. The club intends to keep this going through the winter months as this will help ensure that the children keep up their fitness and skills level and also the kids will be off to a flying start for next season. To help encourage continued swimming participation, the club are making it a requirement for the surfing that participants have a basic level of swimming proficiency and that they continue on with some swimming through the winter. Non members are welcome to become involved as long as they become a surf club member. It is most likely at this stage that surfing will held on Sundays. Anyone wanting information about either the swimming or surfing programs can contact Ian Heiniger on 0412 876 140.

help you out. Being part of a surf club, especially a small club like Bruns, is like having a second family.’ Having completed his Surf Rescue Certificate earlier this year, Mac has enjoyed being a patrolling member of the club and looks forward to continuing his patrolling duties as well as the other aspects of club life. He would also like to continue his work with the primary schools and the PNG Surf Appeal as well as the fund raising duties that are a regular part of Surf Lifesaving. Mac looks forward to coming down to the beach on Sunday mornings and helping out with the younger members of the club. Mac says he gets to meet a lot of great people through surf life saving as there are so many fun ways to get involved. ‘Being a part of this organization can help you get paid work on your local beach or even opportunities to use your skills overseas, both of those sound good to me.’

away despite never seeing the ocean before. He also became a dedicated member of his club, enjoying not only competing at nipper carnivals but also being involved in many club activities. Some of the things he enjoyed most this year were participating in the Swim Between the Flags program at the local primary schools and helping with the Papua New Guinea Surf Appeal which provides surf lifesaving equipment and surfing gear to villages in Papua New Guinea. This program also teaches surf safety and lifesaving skills to the villagers. Mac, who is in year eight at Mullumbimby High School, plans on being a member of Surf Lifesaving and Brunswick for a long time to come. ‘I love being a part of Brunswick and surf life saving. There is always someone at the beach to hang out with and catch waves. If I ever need help with something I know I have someone to turn to, there are lots of older guys around to give you advice and

Hi, my name is Hooper and this black and white photo just doesn’t do me justice. I am a silver tabby and my markings are absolutely stunning. I am not a love-me-do, but I have to say that I really am a very handsome cat. I hear the humans at the shelter talk about me all the time and they say things like, I have a calm and gentle nature, I am really well socialised and get on with humans and other cats and I am affectionate and loving. I even heard someone call me a spunk! Really, you must come and meet me. If you want a cat who loves to give and receive affection and who is no trouble at all, I am your man. Oh, I am a little over 2 years old. See you soon. Please make an appointment to meet them with Lesa on 0438 363 287 Billinudgel www.petsforlifeanimalshelter.org

News Extra

Byron Bay centre chosen for federal government mental health program mother and daughter team Astrid and Kristen Andrews, the former owner/director of Busy Kids and the latter a staff member. A Quality Profile assessed the centre as meeting all the necessary criteria – aspects such as occupational health and safety; relationships with children; hygiene; staff relationships; training and services – and, according to Astrid, ‘everything scored highly.’ Over the next two years, the four-tiered program will be carried out and periodically reviewed. ‘It’s about identifying the risks to very young children and doing some really simple things that can turn everything around,’ Rita said. ‘A small action can have a large result.’ ‘Like cuddles at home’, added Astrid. Kristen said, ‘We’re looking at parents as well and we value them as educators. We’re inviting parents into the centre to be part of the regular routine here. It’s also about allowing the children to express themselves. It’s a personalised service here, creating a home-like environment here in the centre.’ Rita commented that ‘it’s

also about accepting the children for who they are. Research does show that quality care makes a profound difference in children’s lives. If they can come to a service and feel safe and have their needs met, it’s a protection against future problems.’ Carolyn Sandgren, Echo staffer and mother of Leya, could not speak highly enough of both the centre and the pilot program. ‘I’ve always found Busy Kids totally committed to giving the kids the best possible experience in a safe, fun and friendly environment’, she said. ‘I’m happy to hear that the centre has undertaken to be part of this pilot program as it allows the kids to grow within healthy developmental guidelines. It also assists parents and in the future will benefit families across Australia.’ KidsMatter Early Childhood has been developed in collaboration with the Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing, the Australian Psychological Society, Early Childhood Australia and beyondblue, the national depression initiative.

The Busy Kids Early Childhood Centre at Byron Bay recently became the first early childhood centre in the country to undergo training for the pilot scheme KidsMatter. An initiative of the federal government, KidsMatter is a national mental health promotion, prevention and early intervention program specifically developed for early childhood services. Coordinator for KidsMatter in NSW Rita Johnston visited the Busy Kids Centre for a two-day briefing on the program, and explained to The Echo how that particular centre had been chosen for the pilot. ‘They wanted a range of types and capacities – large and small, those with or without babies, for example – and out of the 380 that applied, 110 were chosen. ‘Services that were doing really well already, such as the Byron centre, were picked. These guys have really grabbed the program and are running with it, miles ahead of the rest of Australia!’ The ‘guys’ in question are

Death and dying forum at Lismore The upcoming Inaugural Northern Rivers Dying and Death Forum on March 20 will be a day of information and inspiration with presentations from a variety of speakers. It will be held at Invercauld House, Invercauld Road, Goonellabah, from 8.30am to 3.30pm. It will provide members of the public with ‘Everything You Wanted To Know About Dying and Death But Were Afraid to Ask’. The day-long event will include talks on topics such as the physical process of dying; dying: the rights and rites of passage; Advance Care Planning; and why people find death and dying so hard to talk about. One keynote speaker is Dr Joanne Doran, Director of Palliative Care, North Coast Area Health Service for the past 10 years. According to Joanne, while many people think palliative care is all about death, it’s much more than this. ‘It is true, most of our patients have a life limiting illness, like cancer or heart failure, but we spend 99.99% of our time with people who are very much alive, and although unwell, they are just as vital as

everyone else. ‘To quote Dame Cicely Saunders: “You matter because you are you. You matter to the last moment of your life and we will do all we can, not only to help you die peacefully, but also to live until you die.”’ Dr Doran said the goal of palliative care was quality of life for patients and their carers. ‘We are specialists who have undergone specific training that has a holistic approach. This means we can deal effectively with pain and symptom control and also support people through emotional, social or spiritual issues. ‘One of the most important things we do is endeavour to bring calmness to a crisis. Dealing with a life limiting illness can be a first time experience for many families, but it is something we have familiarity and experience with, so we can assist families with hopefully, helpful advice, useful information as well as really practical support,’ Joanne added. At the Dying and Death Forum, Joanne will be talking about palliative care, how the health system works, some of the difficulties for patients and families living with a life lim-

iting illness and tips for successfully navigating your way through the health system. Other speakers at the Dying and Death Forum include: t +VEZ "SQBOB TQJSJUVBM DBSF consultant, counsellor and educator in grief and loss, who has studied with many Buddhist masters. t +FOOJGFS -BMPS JT B QBTsionate advocate for assisting children through loss. She will speak about her family’s personal journey. t ;FOJUI 7JSBHP EFBUI DPOsultant, celebrant, educator and spiritual caretaker and founder of the Natural Death Centre.

S W Tr e a s u r e r E r i c Roozendaal has welcomed the news that residential building approvals in NSW are up a staggering 95 per cent in the past year. Latest ABS data shows residential building approvals in NSW were up 94.8 per cent in January 2010 compared with January 2009. On a seasonally adjusted basis, there were 2979 new homes approved in January – compared to just 1529 in January 2009. ‘This is more good economic news for NSW – the green shoots of recovery are continuing to grow,’ Mr Roozendaal said. ‘NSW is leading Australia’s economic recovery phase out of the global financial crisis.’ The NSW residential property sector continues to show strong signs of recovery, with new house sales up 26 per cent compared to a year ago, according to the latest data from the Housing Industry Association. This ‘Riverview’ by Integrity, Ballina NSW Treasury figures show resi- NSW have increased by 30 per cent compares to the national average of dential property and land sales in this financial year, compared to the same period a year ago. just 13.5 per cent.

Rate hike hits first home buyers

‘T

he Reserve Bank of Australia has now hiked interest rates four times in five meetings, pushing up standard monthly mortgage repayments for first home buyers by $216 per month,’ says said Ben Phillips, HIA Senior Economist. ‘HIA recognises the need to return interest rates to normal levels over the course of economic recovery but cautions against haste given the still considerable concerns over the state of the global economy. ‘Interest rate increases provide further bad news to first home buyers.

The removal of the first home buyers boost and interest rate increases in the December quarter of 2009 saw a record drop in affordability according to the HIA/CBA Affordability Index. ‘First home buyers in 2009 will have budgeted for moderate interest rate increases through 2010. Unnecessarily large increases will stretch these budgets to the limit and drive away potential new first home buyers. ‘The impact of government stimulus in housing will fizzle quickly over

2010 and maintaining a low interest rate environment will be fundamental to a much needed new home building recovery extending beyond first time buyers and social housing provision. ‘Without further, strong growth in residential construction through 2011 and 2012, Australia’s shortage of housing stock will become even more acute. That situation would deliver undue upward pressure on rents and on existing home values, precisely the opposite outcome to what is desired.’

Q Q Q Q

Those espousing the noble cause of reinstating the CasinoMurwillumbah rail line often follow federal MP Justine Elliot across the region with placards reminding her of her promises to this effect. All well and good, but do they need to verbally interrupt her when, for instance, she is launching a bikeway (see news pages)? A lot of other people’s work has gone into these enterprises and they deserve a little space in which to celebrate their achievements, unheckled. Perhaps it’s time for the lobby group MBOT (Mouths Back On Track).

It is also time again to quash the notion that Mallams was ‘forced’ to sell to Woolworths because of Council’s or residents’ actions. Mallams had its DA approved by the Land & Environment Court and made a business decision to sell it on to the supermarket giant.

Simon Berger is in the challenging position of being the community relations manager for Woolworths Ltd, a new position ‘more focused on issues with a particular community’. Woolies has declined to take up the Mullum Forum’s opinion poll challenge – see letter

page 16. We tried to convince Simon to do the poll for the hell of it, out of sheer curiosity, but he preferred to rely on ‘demographic analysis’. If there’s anyone out there with a few spare squid who could match the Forum’s offer, why not give it a go? Simon is, however, ‘very happy’ to keep up a constructive dialogue with the locals.

There is a correction needed in relation to the Comment last week on page 10, and an apology to the reader and to Council has been made at the foot of Cr Basil Cameron’s letter on page 11 this week. Justice Pain did indeed refer to ‘planned retreat’ in her consideration of granting an injunction to Council, not ignore it as we stated last week.

The Byron Entertainment Centre pulled off a wedding in flying style for two environmental scientists, Dr Keith and Lise Bolton, of Lismore. The Boltons spend much of their time in remote areas assisting communities with clean water solutions, so they were on the lookout for a memorable, non traditional place to have their wedding nuptials. They wanted a celebration that would surpass the conventional and provide activities for all their guests – including nearly 40 children!

Whoever left the dead rat in the shoebox, decorated with rude comments about the Greens, outside The Echo’s Mullum office on Monday morning seems a little confused about who should be the recipient for their bile.

Those who staged the doof at Goonengerry the other night should be aware they are not winning brownie points among their neighbours. The freedom to dance all night has no greater authority than other people's right to a decent night's sleep, especially as the party was obviously a commercial venture.
